Yeah, and I think Emily's going to be joining us. She just was having, like, some boomer computer issues. So we'll let her work that out. She can jump on whenever she gets that figured out. But, yeah, I mean, we're all watching to see whether we're going to be at war with Iran over the weekend or next week or what exactly is going on there. Ryan's got some new reporting about how Democrats are approaching all of this. And, you know, I... I would say you'll be disappointed, but I think actually people probably expect the way that Democrats are, by and large, elected official Democrats are, by and large, approaching the possibility of a major war with Iran. Yeah, nobody can be disappointed anymore. You have to have hopes and expectations to be disappointed.
Yes.
Unknown 2:57

We got a Wall Street Journal article on that right here that was breaking this morning. Trump weighs initial limited strike to force Iran into nuclear deal. President Trump is weighing initial strike to force it to meet his demands. A first step that would be designed to pressure Tehran into an agreement, but fall short of a full scale attack that could inspire sanctions. a major retaliation. The opening assault, if authorized, could come within days, would target a few military or government sites. People familiar with the matter said, if Iran still refused to comply with Trump's directive to end its nuclear enrichment, the U.S. would respond with a broad campaign against regime facilities. So what do we make of this deal-making?
Ryan Grim 3:42
Strike first, deal later.
