[Intro — Rex, spoken] Three thousand trades, or more? Ranges on the forms, questions at the door. You don't need a conspiracy to demand transparency. You need the records. Drop the needle. [Verse 1 — Mack] Nine major energy holdings, put the names into the rhyme, Chevron, Conoco, Exxon — trace the assets through the time. Kinder Morgan moves the molecules, Marathon refines the flow, Occidental pulls the resources, Phillips processes below. Valero at the refinery, Williams pipelines in the frame, Nine positions in the reporting, not a verdict on the name. The disclosures use ranges, not a precise account, So don't turn an estimated value into an audited amount. Market price times shares can estimate a paper gain, But realized profit needs a sale and a calculation you can explain. And when the holder's president, the public has a stake, In understanding who decides, and which investments might partake. [Hook — All] The portfolio has a pulse, hear the ticker in the night, Every purchase, every sale deserves a public line of sight. The portfolio has a pulse, let the documents unfold, Power and the market meet where the numbers turn to gold. No guesswork, no fiction, let the evidence be strong, If the dates support the question, put the timeline in the song. The portfolio has a pulse — keep the ledger in the light, Transparency's the standard when the stakes are this high. [Verse 2 — Pip] CBS reported trading through the Iran conflict's span, Oil and gas transactions while the president directed plans. CNBC's analysis estimated gains across the nine, Between one-point-five and four-point-four million over time. February twenty-seven to August thirty-one was the measure, Using disclosed value ranges and stock prices to assess the pressure. That's estimated market appreciation, not cash proven in the hand, And it doesn't show that policy was traded as a plan. The accounts' reported transactions raise questions worth review, But a timeline isn't proof of what a person privately knew. The difference matters greatly when you're naming what's unlawful, Strong criticism needs facts, and the facts must be verifiable. [Hook — All] The portfolio has a pulse, hear the ticker in the night, Every purchase, every sale deserves a public line of sight. The portfolio has a pulse, let the documents unfold, Power and the market meet where the numbers turn to gold. [Verse 3 — Brutus] A trust can hold the assets, third-party managers trade, But the structure isn't automatically a blind trust by name. Reuters covered transactions in the broader market too, And the Office of Government Ethics provides disclosures to review. The forms reveal ranges, dates, and securities bought or sold, Not every private thought behind the orders they hold. Now the ethics question cuts beyond a single share: Can the public trust decisions when investments remain there? Even without proven misconduct, the appearance can persist, When a leader shapes the rules and holds positions in the mix. The remedy is disclosure, independent review, and rules, Not a fabricated confession or a rumor dressed as truth. [Bridge — Rex, spoken] A paper gain isn't realized profit. A reported holding isn't proof of corruption. A disclosure is a starting point. Follow the dates. Follow the decisions. Ask what the evidence supports. [Verse 4 — Mack] The trucker sees the diesel sign, the family sees the bill, The market sees a thousand forces moving prices up the hill. Crude supply, refinery capacity, conflict overseas, Demand and distribution shape the price beneath the squeeze. Meanwhile, a portfolio can gain when energy stocks rise, That's a financial reality — but motive needs its own evidence to qualify. So audit every timeline, every trade and policy, Put the public documents beside the claims we see. No invented insider tip, no claim the law was breached, Just the conflict-of-interest questions that the filings help us teach. If the facts grow stronger, let the next verse grow as well, Because the truth hits harder than a story we can't tell. [Outro — Full crew] Nine holdings. Thousands of transactions across the broader portfolio. Reported ranges. Estimated gains. Questions that deserve answers. OIL BARON. The portfolio has a pulse. Keep the ledger open.
