Yeah, I swear regime change.

I don't know.

We'll find out.

Last thing, Ben, Trump clearly keeps saying he wants to deal.

I'm not really sure what kind of deal would be welcomed right now, right?

Like obviously a deal that limits or ends Iran's nuclear ambitions, gets rid of its ballistic missile program, that would make the US happy and Israel happy.

But protesters might view any deal in this moment as selling them out, right?

Because they want regime change, right?

And then on Monday, Iran's foreign minister said, we are not looking for war, but we are prepared for war.

even more prepared than the previous war.

We also ready for negotiations, but negotiations that are fair with equal rights and mutual respect.

So, like, we'll find out.

I mean, look, the last time the U.S.

bombed Iran, the response was for show.

Like, literally, they called ahead and they said, hey, we're going to shoot missiles at you.

Prepare yourself.

They did hit some Israeli targets and did some significant damage and killed some people.

Maybe if, you know, it's an existential threat, the response is stronger.

We'll find out.
