Welcome in. We are rolling into the Wednesday edition from all signs pointing towards Iran continuing. What exactly is going to happen there? We will give you the absolute latest good numbers on inflation, oil and gas price is the number one story I would say right now in at MSNBC and let's see, not the case at CNN or at Fox News. Doing all my reading, getting ready for the show today. What stood out to me is several different things that I want to dive into with Buck here off the top. But there are quotes from President Trump via Axios, a conversation that he had and I grabbed. One of those quotes is not audio but President Trump told Axios anytime I want the war to end, it will end. And Buck, I think that is likely true. And here is to me still the big question that we have been asking since this all started. Who is the acceptable leader for Iran that would allow this situation in Iran to end in some way with the understanding that we would now at least the Iranians would know that at any point in time we could decapitate their leader. If this son of Khomeini is still alive, Moktaba, or however you pronounce his

name, you gotta say it like that much.

If he's still alive.

I like the way you say it.

I, I'm not an accent guy. I can't do accents. I can do, do my voice and that's pretty much it. So if he's still alive, which I think is very much in question because they're dancing around with cardboard cutouts of him. If you didn't see that as the representation of their new leader, he. Here is what I would say. If he is still alive and if he is able to recover because there are reports that if he is still alive, that he is severely injured and was, was harmed quite a lot in the, in the blast that took place to begin this, this onslaught in Iran. His dad, his son, his wife and his mom were reportedly all killed in the one of those opening attacks. Let me just put this to you Buck, and to all of you out there. Would you be very fond or willing to work in an expeditious and pleasing fashion if a country killed your dad, your mom, your wife and your son, I would submit to you that if he is still alive, it is a non starter that he could be the leader left in charge in Iran because I would not blame him. I would want America to die on a level that frankly or any other country that did this on a level that would burn in my soul for the rest of my life. I think this could actually be worse because it's, you know, you wounded. You didn't kill a terrorist. That doesn't seem ideal. There's. You've done a lot of this study. Terrorists who are wounded and don't die often end up being the most virulent of. Of terrorists in their future years. So I would start with this. Him being in charge is unacceptable. And so I don't know if we have a leader that is acceptable, but I would say if he's alive, he is an unacceptable heir to the Iranian leadership.
