Hello, everyone. Welcome. 96.5 on your radio dial. The Morning Drive with Don Lemon. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Hot Topics, the Don Lemon Show. So happy that you're here. I finally got this shirt. It's one of my favorites. I see why people like it. It's very vibrant. But anyways, I got to talk to you guys about, I hate to start off this morning with this, but like and thumbs up, hit the thumbs up, the like, and all the things. But I got to start off with this because this is some real shit that I need to tell you about. We're in deep, deep trouble. I'm not being hyperbolic. I'm going to explain it to you. I'm going to walk you through it. No matter how much, let me just tell you this. As you're listening, as you're going about your day, as you are, you may be getting alerts.
You may be even tuning in. When I tell you to turn the TV off, you may still be tuning into the cable or whatever. This is not going to be over when Donald Trump, if he says, okay, it's over, it's going to take years and years and years to get us out of something that he thought would be like Venezuela. He would go in and then topple. That's what he thought. That's how naive he is and how incompetent this administration is. So anyway, I'll start with that. Good morning. Thank you for joining us this morning. Make sure you hit the like and the thumbs up. On Saturday, okay, I just want to take you back because this means a lot because all of this relates to 2026 in the midterms, because that's where I would say the rubber meets the road.
But where the that's where the troops going to meet the ground. Let's put it that way. Not that they will be over there then or gone. But if they go over now, they will still be there then. So on Saturday in the streets of Washington, D.C., small town squares in red states, the Arctic Circle, to plazas of Paris, Rome, Berlin, Madrid, protesters gathered for thousands of rallies against Donald Trump and this regime. It was a no kings protest. The organizer said some 8 million people took part. Now, that is a lot. But think, we live in a country that has hundreds of millions of people. So you're going to need a lot of folks in order to get this done. And by the way, if you check the newspapers, They're already trying to come up with something, Tulsi Gabbard, some sort of excuse.
You're wondering why they're getting all these ballots and doing all this? It's because they want China. They're trying to find some influence from China or some foreign country so that they can declare an emergency and they can nationalize the elections. So we're going to need millions and millions and millions of people, because no matter what shenanigans that they try, it needs to be overwhelming. OK, so they it was easily one of the largest protests in modern history. That's great. But remember, eight million people. We live in a country with 300 and some million people. So and should anyone truly be surprised that people are upset, though, Donald Trump and his allies have literally set the world on fire ablaze.
World goes boom. The planet is on fire. The financial systems are cratering. It's only about to get worse, much, much worse. Now, I want you to take a look at this is a tweet. This is this morning. It's from Italy's defense minister. And I'm going to quote here, OK?
How does Don Lemon frame the current Iran war escalation as a global crisis?
And it says, I am forced to know things about what could happen in the coming week and the effects it will have on the economy and our daily lives that no longer allow me to sleep, he says. And in response, Sagar and Jetty wrote, we're basically in February of 2020. The online class knows what is coming and sounds a bit nuts to IRL friends whose only real knowledge of something awry is $4 gas prices, which they think will resolve relatively soon. It's not going to resolve relatively soon, anyone. He's absolutely right. Now, here are the price increases that we have seen in just the month since the war began. Heating oil is up 77%. 77%. European natural gas up 71%. Brent-cooled crude oil up 58%. WTI crude oil up 51%, diesel is up 44%, gasoline is up 42%, fertilizer is up 39%, coal is up 21%.
