Summary

Mark recaps President Trump's speech last night regarding the war in Iran, which will continue, according to the President; however, depending on the force against Iran, it may end sooner. Once oil prices drop back down, which is expected soon, gas prices will also drop. The Strait of Hormuz is expected to open freely without pressure. AG Pam Bondi is on the hot seat right now and could be removed by President Trump due to her handling of the Epstein files. Her replacement is Lee Zeldin if that decision is made.  Mark takes your calls!  Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve thinks gas prices will go down to around $3 per gallon once the Strait of Hormuz is opened more freely, allowing more ships to pass through. Oil is a globally traded commodity that affects gas prices. Does Wall Street overreact to news too intensely? Mark and Steve talk about what a fair share of wealthy individuals should pay.
