We're just going to kind of hop around the world as usual this morning.

Well, I guess last night we should say the U.S.

carried out a fresh round of strikes on Iran with Trump claiming it was an effort to force the regime into a deal.

He was on Fox and Friends this morning where he said we dropped $250 million of bombs on Iran.

Who knows what is true and what is false coming out of the administration, but it's pretty interesting since nobody in Congress has appropriated anything.

Susan Collins is the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

I think she might care about the quarter billion we spent in Iran last night.

And then this morning, Trump bleats that we are looking in the not-too-distant future into taking Karg Island.

So he's back to discussing a ground-trip invasion of Iran.

So I'm wondering what you make of the state of play this morning.

I definitely think there's some of that.

And you can feel kind of the acute pushback to the war a month ago and, like, less so now.

Like, whether that be the markets or whether that just be, you know, conversation.

I do think that there's kind of a sense of, you know...

We're in Groundhog Day.

We don't know what's happening.

There haven't been the acute crises that there were some we're warning about with energy.

I mean, this stuff takes a long time to go through, but people saw an initial spike in gas prices.

And then since then, it's been kind of steady up a little bit, down a little bit.

I do think it's noteworthy the threat this morning, though, because about going into Karg Island and seizing the oil, whether he's actually going to do that again, who knows?
