I don't know why we're even listening to CNN.

It's insane.

So I think the conventional wisdom would tell you, and I think the president was told this, I think the president was told that wartime presidents are always popular.

Like if you look at Bush's approval rating after both the launch in Afghanistan and Iraq, it was his highest ratings yet.

So that's the conventional wisdom.

The conventional wisdom also says that most Americans, they don't really care about foreign policy.

But what they do care about is they care about the price of the pump.

And look at what this conflict has already done to the price of the pump.

Look what it's already done to cost of living.

We already had an inflation crisis and Trump was working on getting us out of it.

But look at the effect that the war, especially what's happening in the Straits, is going to have on all these everyday issues that your average really hardworking person who's, you know, busting their butt to stay above water, they might not say, like, that's because of the Iran war and dig deeply into the policy, but they're going to be like, oh, the party that's in power right now screwed this up.

I'm going to vote for the other guy.

And then you have the MAGA issue.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Potential famine because the fertilizer... I mean, it's just... You're looking at famines?

America, I don't think we will, but the amount of fertilizer that needs those petrochemicals that come out of the Gulf, that rely on the Straits of Hormuz flowing freely, I mean...

That's a major problem.

It's going to be a major problem, I think, first for Europe, I think for Africa, for Asia.

I think America, we can insulate ourselves to a certain extent.
