I'm actually half kidding.

I don't even know why we have it, but maybe it'll be funny.

All right, let's jump into the story from CNN.

U.S.

military prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, but Trump has yet to make a final call, sources say.

CNN reporting the U.S.

military is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend.

The White House has been briefed the military could be ready for an attack by the weekend after a significant buildup in recent days of air and naval assets in the Middle East, the source has said.

One source cautioned that Trump has privately argued before and against military action and polled advisors and allies on what the best course of action is.

It was not clear if he would make a decision by this weekend.

He is spending a lot of time thinking about this.

So I'm hearing from Beltway Scuttlebutt,

People who work in D.C., you know, we had a lot of friends there.

Trump's ready to push the button and Trump wants to push the button.

It doesn't mean he will push the button, but I'm hearing that he very much is ready to just do it.

He wants to do it.

And I think he's actually being held back.

I think there are some advisers that are basically saying just give it some time and maybe the pressure will force Iran to cut a deal of some sort.

I don't think a deal is going to happen.

I think when you put an estimated one third of your naval forces just outside their country, you're basically just ready to swing, take a punch.
