Iran Strikes, the Strait of Hormuz & the Midterm Board

Well, so we've got a week where a lot of stuff is happening politically as usual.

I'm going to start this out by.

Getting your take on, and by the way, I'm going to go into these political races in a few minutes, but I want your take on this Iran situation.

I haven't prompted you.

I don't know what you think, but how do you think this is being handled? What's your view as to how effective it is right now, the U.S.

effort?

Yeah, you know, obviously, I don't know enough to give an opinion on the military side, but I can tell you the perception side.

And that is it's not being handled very well.

I think it's going to be extremely detrimental for the upcoming elections.

And unfortunately, the thing that made Donald Trump attractive to a lot of people was his decisiveness, his decision making, his putting America first or those things.

And on this, it looks like, frankly, if you believe what's going on with Pakistan and and Iran in terms of the potential negotiation, they're gonna get a 5% fee from the Strait.

I mean, it looks like we've lost.

I mean, it just really, I know we've negated their nuclear program for years.

We've destroyed their air defenses.

But, you know, they're just hanging on and we look like we're just stuck.

Well, I think I think it's a horrible thing.

We also look like we're being played.

I mean, the president, I'm going to bomb you to hell and back.

And then, oh, we have meetings going on in the Iranian one part of their coalition of government.

The IRG will come out and they'll say, oh, no, we're not.

There's no talks going on whatsoever.

That's ridiculous.

Now they're saying, you know, they'll never give up trying to pursue a nuclear program because the U.S. has one and so does Israel.

I just, you know, I, I'm not president and I have a lot of respect for president Trump, obviously, but sometimes the art of the deal just doesn't work.

And so far it looks like it's, it's looked like he's getting played.
