Let's focus on Iran for a moment.

Because, listen, and we've talked about this on the pod in the last couple of weeks.

I really do think we're in a momentous moment.

Unlike anything we have seen since the late 1980s, the early 1990s.

We're in a moment where

Where three of the most viciously anti-American regimes across the planet, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, in the next six months, we could see all three of those regimes fall.

And we could also see free and fair elections in all three of them.

And if that happens, I think there is a real possibility that they will elect, democratically elect, going back to big D democracy, the voters, I believe there's a real possibility, will elect leaders who will defend free markets, defend freedom, and critically, stop waging war on America and make the choice to be friends with America.

If that happens...

It will be the most consequential change on the global stage since the fall of the Berlin Wall, since Ronald Reagan and America won the Cold War.

And we did that without firing a shot.

That changed the entire globe.

And we could see in 2026 a change every bit as significant.

Now, let me be clear.

There are a thousand ways for things to go wrong in Iran, in Venezuela, in Cuba.

And what we do know for certainty is it will not be smooth and without challenges.

We know that to an absolute certainty.

Expect the unexpected.

That being said...

President Trump came out this week and he explicitly said it is time for a new government in Iran.
