I'm good.
Let's turn to Beirut first and Israel launching this attack last night.
What happened?
What do we know about what happened?
I mean, we have heard over the last 24 hours or so just how close we're getting to a sustainable deal between Iran and the United States.
Do you think that this will put the moxie on that?
But even if he does manage to resolve this one by then, how does he sell it as a win?
You know, oh, the Strait is open.
Yeah, it was open beforehand and it was running fine.
Oh, we, you know, have pummeled the regime.
Well, now you've got more hardline guys in.
in charge in Iran.
How can even Donald Trump, how can he sell this as a win?
Yeah, because any of the analysis I was looking at last night seems to suggest that the deal he's going to get on the uranium enrichment is going to be so close to what Barack Obama got and what he walked away from in 2018 to make the whole thing pointless, as you say.
Just on the American economy front, and I know that he's really feeling the pinch at the pumps and how people are feeling about that.
But I heard something this morning about how the stock market is not feeling the impact.
In fact, the stock markets are doing really well because of the AI boom.
And I just wonder, will that insulate him to an extent around all of this, Matt?
Or do you think that the prices at the pumps, really, when it comes to voters and the midterms, that's all they're going to care about?
Yeah, but he very clearly wants this to end and wants it to end right now.
