  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Well, as promised, we waited
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the twenty four hours and I didn't get to it
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: last night. But in case you didn't hear, and straight up,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: hor Moves is actually opened for the next two weeks
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: as the US and Iran have agreed to a cease
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: fire which will last for two weeks. We all know
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Trump had the verbiage and the rhetoric and a civilization
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: could be destroyed tonight, That's what we wrote yesterday. Well,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the Pakistani Prime Minister was in Trump's ear and he listened,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and now there's a two week seasefire from the US
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and Iran. It's so interesting because growing up, seasfires used
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to always be between Iran and Israel. Now the US
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and Iran have a ceasefire. It's what a time, What
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a time we're in. But the good news is the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Horror Moves is open for critical needs, like you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: shipping needs. I guess it's all about the oil in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this regard. As BBC writes, Toronto is effectively had effectively
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: blocked the water away one of the world's most busiest
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: oil shipping channels since the US and Israel attacked the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: country in February of twenty eighth. I did not know
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that about twenty percent of the world's oil and liquefied
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: gas usually passes through the Strait, and of course with
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that or moves closed, oil prices were rising well. Actually
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: after the opening of the Strait, oil prices plunged by
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: around fifteen percent after the announced from the ceasefire. The
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: strange enough is depen of the world's biggest crew will takers,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and I would also imagine the supply chain is going
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to help be eased up, and now that the straightform
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: moves is open up. Last year alone, twenty million barrels
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of oil and oil products passed through the straight offour
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: moves per day per day. That's about six hundred billion
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: dolls worth of energy trade per year. Tho oil not
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: only comes from Iran, but other Gulf states such as Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Symbery on the UA. By the way, this seasidet fire
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: was met long before the EPM deadline, so obviously Trump's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: scare a tax would say, made a deal happen, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: now we see what happens in two weeks. I think
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: at this point it's better we stop bombing Iran into
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: smith rings. I don't think that's the answer either, because
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: let's say we do decimate their bridges. Well, hello, New
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: York City has about five bridges alone, and we don't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: want to wake up sleep our cells here in the city.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So this decision to reopen the strait and agree to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a ceasefire, I don't think that's backing down, I think,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and it could be looked at it as that, but
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's negotiating its diplomacy and maybe just the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: fact that they now know we can bomb the crap
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: out of them and will might be the difference here.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You know, we never really did anything to them, or
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: did it into the nuclear sites under or Biden, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: here we've done something, and maybe that original action is
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: showing that we're serious and if you don't come to
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the table, there will be consequences. But I'm glad there weren't.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that there's a two week hiatus now or
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a ceasefire, and maybe just maybe Iran has been put
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: at bay or held at bay, I guess, he'd said
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: as they reopened the Straight and four moves
