I think I've ever said this before.
Gang, hope you had a good weekend. Obviously, the war with Iran continues, and there's a lot of stuff going on. It's not slowing down. Gas prices right now, just so you know, when we were talking about where oil prices were going to be, as of right now, for the last five days, five days, gas prices, oil prices, crude oil, is up 45% for the month, is up 60%, is what's going on. So if you go to the gas station, you have felt the difference, and it looks like there's some stuff that's going on in Strait of Hormuz, and things are not slowing down. There, a drone strikes, strike torches, oil tanker in Strait of Hormuz, as Iran blockade halts global shipping, then you're seeing these clips. If you guys saw these clips with the rain coming, it's almost like an acid rain, chemicals, and this one reporter is showing, look what it's on the car, and you see the black cloud of acid rain. If you've seen the movie, the series by HBO Chernobyl that Vinny, you shared with us, it looks like that rain coming down, obviously not at that levels, but you have to see this, we'll show the clip to you. And then on top of that, there was something that happened this weekend, which Tom called last week, and we gotta give Tom credit for this, is if Iran attacks Bahrain's water desalination area, if they do, you need that, and they did, so you need that, you need electricity, so they know what they're doing if they're attacking it, and if they go that route, it could be very nasty. At the same time, with Iran, there's a island called Garg Island, K-H-A-R-G Island, it's in the north, I don't know if I wanna say northeast, it's an island, if you pull up the map, it's to keep going out so they can see where the island is. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Okay, so it's right there. So you see where Iran is and where that is, it's all the way at the top of Strait of Hormuz. That is a very important area, that if US or Israel hits, it's very important because that's where 90% of the exports come out. And they haven't hit it yet. And it's extremely protected and guarded, and by the way, Tom made a good point again this morning about what we're talking about. Once we get into it, Tom, we'll break down the whole thing for you. But if they hit this, if 90% comes out and US and Israel haven't hit this, the reason why they haven't hit it is because they're planning, if it does end up happening, that it's shifted. This could be the place that they could use to ship oil out to China because China relies on them for their oil, a lot of other things. But if they do hit it, it's like, listen, we don't even care if the business comes to us. So nobody knows how that's going to be managed. As they're going through, a new Supreme Leader of Iran was officially announced. And once they announced the Supreme Leader, I just want to kind of give you a resume. And you tell me, if you were this person, how would you manage it if you got a new job? Okay, you ready? You just got a job. And this is Mojtaba Khamenei, who is the new Supreme Leader. His father was just killed in opening airstrikes. His mother, mentioned in multiple sources, was also killed in the same strikes. His wife, Zahra, confirmed killed in the same airstrikes. His son also reported killed, some accounts specify, grandson of Ali Khamenei as Mojtaba's child. His sister, Hoda, killed. His brother-in-law and other relatives, including nieces and nephews. And guess what? Here you go, you're the Supreme Leader. I don't think this guy is going to want to seek vengeance towards anybody, but he just got hurt. And by the way, just so you know, allegedly, a report Vinny just showed us by Breitbart that he's already wounded. And so his days are numbered. So they're either going to take him out, or if he sticks around, would you naturally, if you watch Game of Thrones, and a guy becomes a king, this is like Joffrey x 10 is who he is. And he's got all this animosity and rage in him, he just got the big job. And then, aside from that, some incredible heroic example by the women soccer players of Iran. Unbelievably patriotic, how they were able to, and I don't even know how to put patriotic, because they stood up against IRGC, I believe it's a game in Australia, and they're standing up, and you're seeing reporters from Iran, I'll play a clip to you guys, if they did this, we have to show, we have to make an example of them, and we can't let them do this, because this is an example of what they're doing to us and embarrassing us, we gotta take them out. And people are saying, can you please keep them in Australia in this bus, don't let them go back to Iran, you gotta see this clip, it's pretty insane. And then on a different note, while we're going through this stuff with Iran, I got so many stories that we can go to with this, boom, I'll skip that, I'll skip that, I'll skip that. Jesse Jackson's son apparently told Barack Obama, and who else was it, Biden and others, guys, can we just make this about my dad and not a political event? And so we'll cover that clip when he got up and started speaking. And some bad news for Kenya, this may be devastating news for Kenya. When you think about Kenya, what do you think about? You think about Obama and running, right? No, no, I'm not saying I like that, I'm just saying, that's the criticism back in the days when you think about Kenya. Kenya's known for being great runners. Well this Kenyan man who was about to win the LA Marathon, Vinny show me this clip, I'm saying this can't be possible, this is AI, he says, no, this is real. I say, you mean to tell me, a Kenyan man is about to win the Marathon, and this American runner, all the way from the back, that's a substitute teacher, starts sprinting for five miles, it's the closest race ever, and an American beats a Kenyan? By the way, that Kenyan runner going back to Kenya, he needs security, because you can't let an American beat you, in a marathon, so shout out to Nathan Martin, substitute teacher for doing your thing, been running a long time and he finally got a victory out of it. And then we got a few other things we got to get into. There's a story about Tucker Carlson, Trump kicks Tucker Carlson out of MAGA movement, he says Iran's war criticism, he's lost his way, you got Trump demands unconditional surrender to the war.
