And yeah, first of all, shout out to anybody that is serving in the armed services here in the U.S.

You have my utmost respect always and forever.

I don't care whether people agree or disagree with what any administration is doing.

The people, as Drew was saying, they put their lives on the line to protect all of us.

Yeah, the end, my gratitude knows no ends.

That is for sure.

So shout out to all the families that are dealing with the uncertainty of having somebody in harm's way.

So hopefully they are recovered and everything ends up being fine.

But this is a pretty tense situation as we wait and see what exactly unfolds.

Now, for people that don't know the details, let's get into all the specifics here.

So Iran is claiming that the IRGC shot down an American jet.

They initially claimed that the aircraft was an F-35, which is our super stealthy fighter jet, which was we had one of them damaged earlier.

It was a big win claimed on behalf of Iran that they were able to hit it, but it was able to land safely.

But.

What they've hit this time, based on the images from the crash site, clearly showed debris belonging to an F-15 Strike Eagle, which if you're looking at your screen, we've pulled up an image of.

Iranian state media has published pictures and videos purportedly showing parts of the downed plane and one of the ejection seats.

All of that is consistent with this having been an F-15E fighter jet.

Axios has confirmed that Iran has indeed shot down the F-15 and that there's a search and rescue effort that's underway.

Now, the rescue operation is being labeled as active, but very unresolved.

There are claims that the U.S., that their attempt to rescue the crew has actually already failed, that American forces were conducting the search for hours using Black Hawk helicopters, a C-130 aircraft.
