I'm not saying Iran should run the Straits or they should have ownership over the Straits, but I'm just saying it's not so clear cut and dry to go, hey, they have absolutely no claim to this thing or right to it.

If I had to guess, both sides want to play the economic warfare game for a little while.

And if Donald Trump flirts with the strike, then you're going back up the escalation ladder.

And I think then Donald Trump realizes it's time to walk away or he makes the irrational and horrific decision to just bomb the shit out of the country and give Israel the regime change it was looking for.

And then who knows what that even looks like, you know, if that makes anyone safer 10 years down the line, if Iran's regime is...

somewhat taken out just because we bombed the shit out of the country.

And if that leads to another ISIS or just a more hard-line regime that, you know, is not a threat for the next five or ten years, but we got to deal with in 20.

yet the the big problem is one uh... if you start floating out just jihadi terrorist domestic terrorist uh... that i i don't know did the whatever term you want to throw out it's up to them how they want to define it so if they want to declare

us as Nazi propaganda, then all of a sudden you've got a right to censor it.

And it's not that the government's going to censor it.

It's that these are private companies and private companies don't want Nazis or violent extremists on their network as defined by us.

But then it's the COVID problem once again, where they're not really private companies.

If the government is threatening them and going, Hey, can you pull the records on this?

Hey, we want to see this full transcript.

Hey, can you explain to us why this, uh, why this wasn't violent extremism?

Can you explain to me why this wasn't giving people false health information?

I mean, this was the COVID thing, was some voices were just too dangerous to be heard because we've got this national pandemic.

And if we listen to them, people are going to die.

And then the government going, hey, we're not telling you what to do, but you mind explaining to us why you aren't pulling this down?

And so you got the twofold factor.
