Ben Domenech

Yeah, I hope so.

Hey, Ben.

Hey, I'm doing great and happy to be on the team, and it's going to be interesting.

I will say that I was listening to your prior segment, and I didn't anticipate having hot wives be the first thing that we were going to be discussing right off the bat.

I would just say anybody who gives you that advice is giving you bad marital advice and wants to steal your wife.

It's probably hot for your wife, yeah, if I had to guess.

Well, I think that there are a lot of people who are saying that privately in Republican circles right now already, particularly those who want to run on domestic issues and were kind of feeling like there were some silver linings in the economy, that people were starting to see the benefits of the tax policies that they passed, that they were going to have a better experience when it came to their tax bill this year, and that they hoped that they would be able to prevent the kind of historical trend that we have normally seen in these midterm elections.

Personally, I think that was a lost cause to begin with.

I don't think that they really have any hope of holding on to the House.

But I do think that a lot of them are now pointing to this decision as something that's making them even more nervous, particularly because, as you know, voters don't get moved by foreign policy the way that, you know, the president necessarily is in this second term, where he's paying so much attention to resolving all conflicts, you know, ending all family business all around the world.

And I think that there's inherent risk with that, that domestically Republicans are nervous about.

There's a risk here that I think, if I can interject, and this is friendly fire, and it's my first time, so I don't know if I'm being rude by doing so.

We just beat you.

I actually think the biggest risk here is that that commentariat gets listened to by the president who does have people on his team who are going to echo their thoughts.

That's basically what's happening right now.

They're trying to work the refs.

They're working from outside against this argument.

And look, the policy of the United States of America toward

The nation of Iran has been pretty set for a pretty long time.

It was Barack Obama who broke it.
