The reports last night that I think Israel tried to take out or attempted to take out or did take out is still pretty muddled, who J.D.

Vance is trying to work through to actually set meetings up because there's no direct communication right now with Iranians.

It's all through third parties, so that part's pretty murky.

But the president did say that there would be a major escalation

if they couldn't come to some sort of arrangement and actually was in quite stark terms the way we do, including take down the electrical grid and destroy their oil infrastructure.

I think that part of it, given the rest of it, was pretty methodical about what he set out to do, what he's done, and what is left to do, has caused, I think, a little, how would you say, turbulence in global markets.

Eric Bolling joins us.

Eric, I want to go back because last night we didn't have you as a commentator because you were watching the markets full on.

I think it's an important exercise for the audience.

to see it through the eyes of how the markets see it.

So let's go back to right before the speech started, because you were tracking this quite closely, as the speech progressed and then overnight, because overnight now we're in a situation where I think that the global oil markets are saying they're not enthusiastic about what they heard in the speech.

So let's go back over time.

Let's take your time on this.

Last night,

as you're behind the scenes working this, as we were listening to the speech and then doing commentary with John Solomon, Posobiec and the rest of the Real America Voice team.

Hang on one second.

Short commercial break here at Bowling.

On the other side.

The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971.
