| 0:00.0 | I think it's clear to everybody now that we're living in one of those historical times where the world is changing because of the events that are going on in Iran. |
| 0:07.0 | And the question for us this week is, does the situation change when you have skin in the game? |
| 0:13.0 | And I think the answer is it does and it doesn't. |
| 0:16.0 | Hi everybody, I'm Bill Little here with Steve Green and Scott Ott. |
| 0:19.0 | Guys, I have to tell you a quick family story for this one to make sense. I married my wife Natasha in 2016, so we're coming up on our 10th year anniversary. She became a U.S. citizen a few years ago. Her daughter lives in, my stepdaughter lives in Russia, and we've been unable to obtain a tourist visa for her to come to the U.S. at all during that entire time. |

| 1:24.6 | Well, as it turns out, my wife was there and they had five, six wonderful days with |
| 1:29.1 | the two of them together. They're very close. I talked to them at night and said, I think we can |
| 1:33.6 | probably extend your stay for another week or something like that. And they actually cried with joy. |
| 1:38.1 | They were both just so happy. About four or five hours after that, about three o'clock in the morning, |
