There is some indications that there might be some sort of special operators in the United States on the ground assisting in the search, but that's only an indication.

We don't know.

Nevertheless, this marks a real major turning point in the way in which this war is discussed.

Namely, while the United States does have a lot of air superiority over the skies of Iran, it doesn't have complete air superiority.

And in this case, thinking that the United States did help lead to this pilot being shot down.

We have no evidence as to what's going to happen if the pilot is killed, if the crew member is held hostage or if the crew member is rescued.

Three very different scenarios that can affect very differently how Iran deals with the United States and therefore how the United States deals with Iran.

A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for a man who wants to end wars, not start them.

I said conflicts in the Middle East.

Oh, yeah, polling's terrible.

I mean, I still hold firm to the idea that MAGA is a brand for Trump.

So, you know, Make America Great Again is to Donald Trump as Just Do It is to Nike.

The Red Hat is to Trump as The Swoosh is to Nike.

So as far as like a lot of cohesive, coherent ideas, there's not a lot in that.

What trumps them, pun intended, is that Trump is doing it.

He's the commander in chief.

He's the leader.

So with Republicans, except for the elite base you guys are talking about or the elites, the influencers, the podcasters, you're not going to see a real deterioration or you haven't seen it yet.

You will see it, though, if the price of gas continues to increase.

Then it becomes real.
