And then you're like, oh, sorry, office is closed.
Come back tomorrow.
Today is day 34 of the Iran war slash military operation.
Trump addressed the nation Wednesday night for a brisk 18 minutes.
Here's a 40 second clip.
All right, the costs here are mounting.
War is a very serious business.
13 American service members have tragically died.
Over 200 have been injured on the other side of the ledger.
3,500 Iranians have died, including 1,600 civilians and over 200 children.
1,200 people in Lebanon have died from Israeli strikes.
And we now have 50,000 troops deployed to the Middle East.
Chances of a ground invasion are increasing.
War has cost $70 billion so far.
That's assuming $2 billion a day, which there seems to be consensus on via the Department of War.
Pentagon has asked Congress for another $200 billion.
To put that in context, the war in Ukraine was $113 billion in the first year.
This could quickly exceed it when we hit
50 days.
This isn't cheap.
