And we have made it to Friday, so let's take a look, yes, at some of the other political news this week.

And I want to start with the war in Iran.

This is the third week, and the endgame is no clearer than it was on day one.

So, Franco, there has been a lot of talk recently of sending troops to Iran.

What do we know about that?

Yeah.

And I think we just have to say here that the idea of boots on the ground in any form would be a major escalation and something that President Trump very explicitly campaigned against.

But at this moment, he is playing coy about what he might do or what might happen.

Domenico, this is just a long way from a one and done a few strikes and we're out of here at this point.

And Franco, you mentioned the Strait of Hormuz.

This is this critical waterway where a whole lot, about 20 percent of the world's oil is transported.

Is there any progress in getting that waterway open?

And you mentioned the word cost.

Franco, this war is not cheap or even close to it.

And there's word that the administration is going to be seeking a huge supplemental amount of funding from Congress to pay for it.

And I have spoken to swing voters, people who voted for President Trump, who have just used that sort of phrasing.

I think that our money should be here at home for Americans.

That's what President Trump campaigned on.

And now...

We don't know how long this is going to last, but at the moment, it certainly looks like the president is involved in something.
