And Biden said, oh, no, that's not a good idea.

Don't do that.

And in a funny way, the Russians and the Americans agreed on that.

That's one of the big things they didn't.

That's all.

You know, JFK, and we all come back to it, JFK predicted that there would be 50 nuclear weapon states by the time we got to the next century, which for him was 40 years away.

They're nine.

Far less than anybody thought because the United States really put its shoulder to the wheel on this one and tried to deal with the security concerns of those states that lived in the neighborhood of a proliferator.

So it's not a new problem is what I'm trying to say.

Trump himself, utterly incredible.

It was fully open before this war started.

Iran closed.

And, you know, again, even the Iranians say we have our nuclear weapon now.

It was there in plain sight.

It's the Strait of Hormuz.

Right.

Because we close it, we get the world's attention, and the global economy just takes a tremendous hit.

What's happened since is Trump blockaded from further out so it's safer, so the American ships are not within range of Iranian missiles, and then they seized Hormuz.
