The inflation is terrible. voice-verified

Basic foodstuffs are now becoming harder to get. voice-verified

I think there's great hope that uh the Iranian people will rise up, or even the uh the uh Revolutionary Guard, which some of whom whose members apparently we hear voice-verified

Are not being paid, uh, will say enough of this and uh and lead to an overthrow of the regime. voice-verified

That's what the hope is anyway. voice-verified

Well, I think one of the problems, Matt, and I agree with this, that uh the president uh made too many statements that uh were not based on reality. voice-verified

The war will be over in two weeks. voice-verified

Uh we will uh we will be able to uh claim victory. voice-verified

And then it was longer than two weeks and it became two months, and now it's become six months. voice-verified

And uh, you know, some people think we ought to just declare victory and get out. voice-verified

Um I I think there's uh maybe some cause for that. voice-verified

Well, several things, Matt. voice-verified

I wrote a book about this several years ago called America's Expiration Date and one of the chapters was on debt. voice-verified

Now a lot of it is interest on the debt, but the real driver of the debt, everybody knows, Republicans and Democrats and independents, is are Social Security and Medicare. voice-verified

But the politicians don't want to touch those because they fear being demagogued by the other side. voice-verified

And people voice-verified

People think they're entitled to all of this now, so when you get an entitlement mentality, touching that can cost you votes. voice-verified

But the socialists who are running for office now want to propose all kinds of new spending. voice-verified

One estimate I read today, $211 trillion in new spending. voice-verified
