I mean, does he does Donald Trump really understand it this little or like it's genuine?
There's a real question that none of us know for sure over whether like Donald Trump is actually this stupid or he just thinks you're this stupid.
And I do not know which one it is.
But when Donald Trump goes, it'll just naturally open up.
It'll naturally open up because they've got to sell their oil.
It's really their entire economy.
They've got to sell oil.
Does he not realize that it's not closed for them?
Does he not realize that the Strait of Hormuz is not closed for the Iranians?
And no, maybe not.
Maybe he genuinely doesn't realize that.
I don't know.
What do you think here, Rob?
Listen, there's, it's, it's, I don't exactly understand it either, but I've, I've read a bit about it and it's like, it's more because there, there is like more details and complicating factors in it.
So like there's certain types of oil that's refined in a certain type of way and other types of oils that require different types of refining.
And so it actually, in some cases does make sense for us to like send our oil to be refined here to then be sold here on this market.
And then them to send their oil to be refined there to be sold on it.
that essentially like it is true that like we produce more oil than we need it's also true that if you just all of a sudden made it so that there's no more world market and it's all done domestically it would require all types of new infrastructure and new refining schemes and like you know what i'm saying like if you were going to do something like that it'd be much better off to be like in 10 years this will be the rule and give it some time to like us to transition and that
