I don't know why we went in.

I don't know what the goals were.

don't know how we'll know when we've succeeded.

Here's what I do know.

13 American service people have lost their lives.

3,000 people in Iran have lost their lives, most of them civilians.

Those little girls in that school, that is a war crime to bomb, you know.

This is a Pentagon that basically has disbanded the part of the institution, this massive institution, trillions of dollars.

They disbanded the part that is there to make sure that you minimize civilian harm.

And that's what they did.

Yeah.

So...

And like like Minnesota farmers are like, how in the hell am I going to get my crops planted when fertilizer prices have spiked 40 percent?

Diesel prices are up 50, 60 percent.

I can't I got to like plan ahead to buy gas so I can get my kids to daycare because the daycare is like 30 miles away.

Economically, it is a disaster.

Absolutely.

And, of course, here's what happens.

Big global fertilizer companies lose access to their raw materials that go through the Straits of Hormuz, but there is manufacturing in the United States, and those American companies, when the prices go up, they jack up their prices, and so they make a lot more money.

Right.
