Next week is week five.

I hope people understand that.

And as three weeks and four weeks and five weeks, it's not looking like we're done.

I hope we are, but it's not looking like it.

All of a sudden now, J.D.

goes, listen,

I don't think this is the sort of thing we're going to be in one to two years.

Why are you even mentioning that?

They know that these endless wars are so unpopular that they've got to keep the timeline always as short as possible and extend it only when necessary.

Listen to J.D.

We need to neuter them for a very, very long time, and that's the purpose.

You're right.

Gas prices have certainly gone up because of what's going on in the Middle East, but they're going to come down, right?

This is a very, very temporary reaction to what is going to ultimately be a short-term conflict.

I think the president's been very clear about this, that we're not interested in being in Iran a year down the road, two years down the road.

We're taking care of business.

We're going to be out of there soon, and gas prices are going to come back down.

There you go.

Now, the fact that he is even using those words years is a huge change.

Nobody in and around this administration has been using that phraseology.
