Absolutely. You know, one of the things that Donald Trump's been doing all day, ranting and raving like a lunatic. What else is new? But he's been making social media posts like attacking NATO. None of these people, including our own, very disappointing NATO understood anything unless they have pressure placed upon them. He's posting weird photos of himself and Dana White with lightning in front of the White House, I guess, to promote a UFC fight. I mean, so you have Donald Trump doing that, while you have Iran calling Donald Trump and Netanyahu out for violating the 10 point negotiating framework. You have MB Galloba saying what I just reported earlier about how. And he's citing the 10 points, you know, as Donald Trump's like, oh, there are all these different lists floating around and nobody knows about the realist. And we know what the new list we, we know what the 10 point list is that you agreed to. If you didn't want to agree to it, don't agree to it. You said you were going to obliterate an entire civilization. That's what you said. And then by all reporting, you then begged Pakistan to jump in and say that you wanted to accept Iran's ten point plan. And then Iran was like, well, they want to accept this 10 point plan. I mean, it'll be the biggest humiliation in the history of the United States if they agree to these 10 points points and you agree to him. And so now you have Golubov making posts citing the 10 points that you agreed to and saying, you violated this point, you violated that point. Which is true. I mean, I hate to admit it, but it is that. That is, you agreed to those points. You have MB Galloba's top advisor, his strategic advisor in the parliament saying the following. Only a limited number of hours remain without the complete restraint of America's dogs in Lebanon. There will be no ceasefire or negotiations and the missiles are ready to fly. He said the equation of shared destiny among components of the resistance access are part of what he called a new regional order following Iran's victory. And it must be solidified, if possible, with kind words, otherwise with war. You have the President of Iran, Pezeshkian, saying Israel's renewed incursion into Lebanon is a blatant violation of the initial ceasefire agreement. The this is a dangerous sign of deception and lack of commitment to potential agreements. The continuation of these actions will render negotiations meaningless. Our fingers remain on the trigger. Iran will never abandon its Lebanese sisters and brothers. And before that, he wrote, the repeated aggression by the Zionist entities against Lebanon is a flagrant violation of the initial ceasefire agreement and a dangerous indicator of deceit and lack of commitment to potential accords. The continuation of these aggressions will render negotiations meaningless. And you got photos of these traded Hormuz where? Ain't no tankers going through the Strait of Hormuz right now. And so I know that you have J.D. vance and Trump saying the tanks are going through. They're not. The tanks are not going through right now. Okay? And even when they do go through, Iran has said maximum 15 tankers a day as opposed to 150 if they pay us $2 million per tanker. And the oil industry and shipping industry says we can't, we can't do that. Like we don't have the money. Or we do have the money, but if we do, we have to pass it on to consumers and that's going to raise the gas prices. If we really have to pay $2 million per ship, that becomes kind of, it's not cost prohibitive if that gets passed on to the consumer. But, you know, think tariffs are raising prices. I mean, just think about what, what, what adding $2 million per ship is going to do every, every single time. I mean, but like while you have Iran's president citing written agreements that was agreed to by Trump and provisions, I mean, the fact that Donald Trump's response is he's posting photos of himself and Dana White AI, weird photos with cartoons like, like that's where we are as a country right now. You know, but before, like in the past five minutes or so, Donald, in the past 15 minutes. So Donald Trump unleashed a deranged tirade, personally attacking Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, Megan Kelly and Alex Jones. This is what Trump writes. I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years. Especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear weapon. Because they have one thing in common, low IQs. They're stupid people. They know it, Their families know it, everyone else knows it too. Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes and they never did their shows and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them. They're nutjobs, troublemakers and will say anything necessary for some free and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some clicks because they have third rate podcasts, but nobody's talking about them. And their views are the opposite of maga or I wouldn't have won the presidential election in a landslide. Then he goes on to say that Tucker Carlson's a broken man. He couldn't even finish college. He says Megyn Kelly asks him nasty questions. He then goes and says, these people are losers. They will always be. He says, Marjorie Taylor Greene, they're nasty, just like Marjorie Trader Brown. I mean, what the hell is this behavior? I mean, just take a step back for a second, okay? Just think about where we are right now. What we're on the precipice of. This is life and death, war and peace stuff. As I was talking about with Attorney General Bonta right now, you have Trump agreeing on behalf of the United states to a 10 point negotiating framework, saying, I'm negotiating within these parameters. That's what he said. We now have obvious violations of those parameters. You had, by the way. I mean, you have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying, you know, we're not, not, we're not following any of this stuff. He goes, we still have objectives to complete and we will achieve them either through agreement or by renewing the fighting. He said that. And then before he also, he also was basically saying that, you know, we're not going to stop bombing Lebanon. I mean, and so that was one of the provisions. And so how that gets resolved is, you know, is unclear. And while all of that's taking place, I mean, you've got Donald Trump out there posting attacks on Megyn Kelly and Alex Jones. Like, that's what's occupying. That's what's occupying his mind right now. I mean, it's, again, it's utterly deranged. We got more economic data this morning as well. We got fourth quarter GDP revisions from 2025. It was initially 1.4% GDP growth, which was anemic. Then it was reduced to 0.7%. Now it's 0.5%. And this is fourth quarter GDP. I mean, now with this war, with the supply shock that we are facing of oil, liquefied natural gas, helium, fertilizers, everything else, and there's really no sign of it getting better. Doesn't this perfectly kind of mirror and mimic like the COVID timeline, like a miracle. It's all going to go away. We fixed it. We solved this. Inject yourself with bleach. I mean, Donald Trump's last effort, again, our latest effort to manipulate the market was agreeing to all of Iran's terms. And then Trump was going to do what he always does. I never agreed to those terms. Ah, there was a misunderstanding and Iran's like, okay, but we still control the Strait of Hormuz. Let me share with you over here what JD Vance said on Lebanon. He goes, I think it's just a reasonable misunderstanding. Just a, we just had a reasonable misunderstanding with them in the 10 point plan. Here's what JD Vance said. Let's play.
