00:00Peter.
00:02I have one for you and then one for Secretary Besant.
00:04Sure.
00:05For you, Caroline.
00:06There are now 10 American scientists who have either gone missing or died since mid-2024.
00:12They all reportedly had access to classified nuclear or aerospace material.
00:18Is anybody investigating this?
00:20What is happening?
00:22White House takes questions at White House briefing.
00:26How do you see if these things are connected?
00:28I've seen the report, Peter.
00:30I haven't spoken to our relevant agencies about it.
00:33I will certainly do that and we'll get you an answer.
00:35If true, of course, that's definitely something I think this government and administration would deem worth looking into.
00:41So let me do that for you.
00:43And Secretary Besant, it doesn't sound like we're going to have $3 a gallon gas by summertime, which we...
00:49Yes, $3 a gallon gas by summertime.
00:53That's what we're expecting, but, uh-huh.
00:56We've been told by the energy secretary.
01:00He now says that it would be very aggressive.
01:05It is.
01:05If we're going to get to the $3 a gallon gas by the summer.
01:09It is.
01:09So when are we really going to get $3 a gallon gas?
01:12Well, I think that's going to be the, uh, up to how the negotiations go.
01:18President Trump said this morning that he thinks we're nearing...
01:21Yes, negotiations with Iran, how it goes.
01:25If it goes well, then it is the $3, and if it not goes well, the gas are above.
01:56Yes, Bassett on lowering gas prices.
02:00Scott Bassett is Treasury Secretary.
02:03He's talking about things.
02:04Why it's been like that, the situation right now.
02:08I'm meeting with a lot of my Middle Eastern counterparts, the finance ministers, and they
02:12all say that once the straits are open, they can start pumping again within one week.
02:17Yes, within one week, once the strait is open, one week after the strait is open, we have
02:24to not have the real days when strait is open.
02:28Now, strait is blockade by US Army, and nobody is going there.
02:33Iran is in so much loss right now, out of money, out of everything, economic loss, everything.
02:39Not by summer, like Memorial Day, but maybe by Labor Day?
02:44Again, I'm optimistic that sometime between June 20th and September 20th, that we can have
02:51$3 gas again.
02:53Okay, June 20th to September 20th.
02:56This is after 2 to 3 months minimum.
03:00As I said this morning too, we are going to be watching the gas stations because they
03:06raised prices very quickly when the crude oil prices went up.
03:12We hope they'll bring them down just as quickly as crude oil prices have come down, which they've
03:18come down substantially just in the past 10 days.
03:21Great.
03:22Yes, guys, thank you.
