So there were some military contractors there.

You know, I feel like... The energy experts, I'm talking to the gas buddy today on YouTube, so you can go check that out later, but are saying that, like, we're really potentially going to a tipping point at some point, whether that's at the end of this month or after, where you get kind of exponential increases in prices because of shortages and, you know, Adam Smith, supply and demand issues.

The only thing that runs counter to, I think, both of our view, which is like Trump wants an off ramp and he's looking for some safe face saving off ramp is the story of over the weekend about how much he's talking to Mark Thiessen.

Mark Thiessen, who is this Washington Post columnist and kind of C-list Fox pundit, who has been the biggest cheerleader for the Iran war.

He simultaneously – the article about him was weird.

Thiessen was kind of taking credit for Trump –

siding with Ukraine more than he would have otherwise.

I don't know you've done that great of a job if that's the mark of your influence.

But anyway, and Thiessen apparently is talking to Trump a lot and just posted that he believes Trump's going to go finish the job.

So if that is true, that that is who Trump is listening to, then there is no...

real, like, rationale for the status quo, you know, then you need to create a new story.

I mean, that's what Trump does, right?

It's taboo.

A guy's got to have a new episode, a new season of The Apprentice.

And so, I mean, that's the argument for them continuing to escalate it.

But eventually, there has to be something because the status quo, it's a nightmare, right?

And it makes him look very limp.

And maybe he doesn't care.

I don't know.

And there's no good argument.
