**Donald Trump** (0:19)
My son's right there.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:20)
Off we go.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:31)
For the millionth time Adam told you. 20 times, turn up. Can you just grab the phone from him? Tom. No, no, let me, I'm gonna ask you one time. Put your phone over there, please. Can somebody grab Tom's phone and put it over there, please? Every podcast I have to ask you, and Adam just asked you right now, we're live. Please give the phone to Mikael and put it over there. Thank you, Mikael. Okay, all right, let's get right into it. This is a every time podcast.

**Adam Sosnick** (0:57)
I told him two seconds before the podcast. Turn your phone on silent, he goes, I gotcha.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:01)
Death toll in Iran, 1200 to 1300, six confirmed in US.
It's not getting any, nothing is slowing down. There was a lot of big interviews done yesterday on claims. They were saying, what are you going to do if US attacks? You know, we are looking forward to it. We're going to play some of these clips of what happens there. And then the Kurds getting involved, the rumors of his US giving them weapons. No, Israel may. We are not. There is a clip and there is a history of Kurds and the IRGC. They are not fans of him. They are probably more pro-American than anything else. And them getting involved is probably not a good look for Iran right now. And then you got the Lebanon stuff that is going on at the same time. And gas prices. Rob, can you do me a favor and run a poll to see how much have gas prices in the last week gone up in your area? The first one put 25 to 50 cents. Put none. Same. Put 25 to 50 cents. 50 cents to 75 cents. 75 cents to a dollar. Let's see what comes up. Or 75 cents plus. Run the poll. I'm curious how it's doing to you. I know Rob, you experienced something this morning. Let's see what the market is going to be saying about this. And then aside from that, we have a few other things that's going on with what the possibilities of Iran could do with Strait of Hormuz. It looks like there's still no movement going on there till today. We'll talk about what the gas oil prices are right now, Tom. I'm sure you have the numbers and we'll get the latest there. And then stories coming up with Anthropic talking about the fact that the AI, the guy didn't want to address the fact that it may be sentient. 30 percent AI is sentient like it's a living mechanism, like it has a certain things for itself. And that's concerning and the government's getting involved. And then Kristi Noem, who was just on the podcast, what was it, a week and a half ago, two weeks ago, I don't know what it was, something like that. And next thing stories came out, there was the hearing. And then right after the hearing, she no longer has the job that she had. It may be a different job that they announced. I think they even announced what that job could be, an envoy.
And aside from that, we have a bunch of other things that we need to get to. Who the replacement is going to be? Who is Mark Wayne Mullin? I see a lot of headlines saying, hot-headed Mark Wayne Mullin is replacing Kristi Noem. Do you want this person who wanted to pick a fight with Sean O'Brien, the former Teamster, the current Teamster president whom we've had on a podcast? A lot of those stories are circulating. But aside from that, Michelle Obama said, it claims no way Trump's administration behavior could be acceptable from the first black family in the White House. And Vinny's got some thoughts on that.

**Vincent Oshana** (3:51)
Wait, she's playing victim? She sounds like a victim with cars.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:55)
It's not common, but every once in a while. Besson says they're raising the global tariff raise to 15%.
This week, Spain categorically denies White House claim it will cooperate on Iran war. Trump was telling me that we're talking about, what was it, Tom? A plane was a...

**Tom Ellsworth** (4:14)
You're not flying over our airspace with armed weapons?

**Patrick Bet-David** (4:17)
Nothing. They're not supporting it.

**Tom Ellsworth** (4:19)
We're not going to be part of this? You're not using our airspace?

**Patrick Bet-David** (4:21)
No to war. Spain PM hits back at Trump. Threat to cut trade over airbase dispute. I remember when they were talking about what's going to happen with the tariffs. Are they going to give the money back or not? How soon? And it's going to be a lawsuit for two, three, four, five years. Well, here's a Wall Street Journal story for you. The judge orders government to begin refunding more than $130 billion in tariffs. And that's that. Laser weapons deployed in Operation Epic Fury. As Space Force stops Iran's missiles in their tracks. What's this laser weapons? Why are people talking about this? Trump's got thoughts. 74 retired US generals, admirals. Back Iran strikes. Warn Tehran seeks to spill American blood. And then aside from that, we got a few other things that we'll get into if we have time. Newsome was on the, what is that? Jimmy Kimmel Show, I believe, if I'm not mistaken. And on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, he asked them questions about why does it take so long to get permits to build a house? Nancy Mays called out everybody.
