The MeidasTouch Podcast · Iran Retaliates Against U.S. as Top Dems Respond · 23 Jun 2025 podcast

Uh we're pretty good at defending those bases and those assets, but they could, you know, uh I pray God this doesn't happen, but if if the reports are correct, you know, we we may close out the data.

Today with uh with with American casualties, which again, I'm not sure anybody uh would have uh supported or at least should have been taken into account by congressional debate and congressional approval of this strike.

And and and look, uh it's uh it's fairly obvious to say that if there are American casualties, there will be a response to that.

And now we are in a war.

You know, I mean, you you saw the president, the president was doing everything he could to say this is a this is a one-off, we're just gonna destroy a whole bunch of your stuff, but that's it, that's it, don't worry about it.

That's not the way the world works, right?

The Iranian regime has their own politics and you know they're already looking humiliated.

and weak and if they do nothing, they do nothing, I suspect they fear for their own survival.

So anyway, um if if those reports are true, let's just uh you know pray that that Americans there uh stay are are stay safe.

Yeah, look, my overall message is um uh we shouldn't be in this place.

We should not have taken an act of this consequence without uh somebody other than the guy in the Oval Office deliberating.

There's way too much at stake.

There's 40,000 troops, there's the survival of uh allied regimes like uh like Jordan, right?

You know, I keep pointing out that the King of Jordan sits in a very precarious throne, right?

Because the Jordanian street.

Is not one bit happy that the Israelis and the Americans are attacking Iran.

There's our military assets.

There, again, if the Straits of Hormuz close, you know, stand by for a major spike in the price of gasoline.

And it and it's fascinating from a political standpoint, if I may just take this detour for one second.
