0:00.0	What's off everybody? Good morning. We have been ready to go for ages around here. So it is
0:05.9	wonderful that you guys are finally joining us. All right. Well, things continue a pace in the Middle
0:11.0	East. It is absolute madness. Iran has hit at least three ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
0:18.1	And you can expect that to show up at the pump.
0:26.7	Speaking of which, people in China are panic buying gas amid fears of an ongoing oil shortage due to the war in Iran.

1:19.0	markets. As they really are, Iran really is showing that they can hit the ships going through.
1:26.1	I think there was a lot of tough talk on Trump's part,
1:28.1	trying to tell people basically stop being a wuss and take your ships through.
