And what’s interesting is when we were talking before we decided to bomb Iran, and now we’re supposedly talking again. And what I think is Donald Trump is being made a fool on the national stage right now or international stage, I should say. The Pentagon is sending about 3,082nd airborne troopers to the region. I don’t know if you know, but the 82nd airborne is the US immediate response force. Their goal is airfield seizures, evacuations, or combat directly. The US also has about roughly 2,500 Marines headed there. So, you know, now you got 5,000 plus troops in the region.

There’s no official announcement of ground combat, but you look at that and go, okay, well, Trump threatened, hey, if you guys don’t stop blocking the Strait of Hormuz, then we’re going to go ahead and take out all your de-solitation plans or whatever. So, hey, no water for anybody. And the Iranians just laughed and said, okay, here’s a list of what we’ll take out if you do that. Now, there’s only one reason the Iranians would publish a list like that. They’re so confident we can’t stop them that they’ll even publish a list. And when they’ve got the Strait of Hormuz blocked, hey, we said we could, you know, unblock that.

Nobody would come to our aid. So now what we’ve got is a Mexican standoff, Jack, as far as I can tell. And I don’t see anything but the war escalating because the Iranians are simply mocking Donald Trump. So Donald Trump then went, oh crap, that’s your list. I guess we’re going to stall the 48 hours. Now we’re going to have five days that we’re in talks. Well, then Donald Trump said we’re in talks and the Iranians said, no, we’re not. Okay. Now who do you believe? And so we’ve got a real problem on our hands and I’m not telling you that the Iranians can beat us, but I am telling you when they have $35,000 drones running around and we spend millions of dollars blocking what their drones can do, they’re going to run us out of money and ammunition and munitions.

And, um, if we’re not very careful, the American people are going to lose the stomach for the war. Uh, it’s going to expand, not decrease. I’m just telling you right now, Trump tries to play hardball. And at first he says, I’m going to go super hard. And then I’m going to back off. That’s his, you know, part of the deal strategy with the Iranians. It’s not working. They’re backed by the communist Chinese and by the Russians. And they’ve got a lot of capabilities that we must have either underestimated or we really want an all out war.

Not sure which, but I’m fearful. This might turn into world war three. Now I pray that it doesn’t, but when you arm up and make threats like that and they call your bluff, you look like a fool on the international stage. And I’m not trying to attack president Trump, but I am saying that doesn’t go well. When you say, Hey, we’ll just take out your water and they laugh and go fine. Here’s a list of the water we’ll take out. You do this and it’s virtual Armageddon. Uh, and so Trump had to back off from that.

That does not make him look good. And if we start putting trips on the ground, I mean, it’s at the beginning of world war three, will we ever be able to stop? And then the question becomes, Hey, they’ve been talking about conscription for the last year or two in Congress. Is that next? I mean, what’s happening here? Will Congress give Trump more money? Trump made it sound like he could stop the war at any time. Like, Hey, we’ve, we’ve absolutely decimated everything they’ve got. And my response is they got the straight or her most closed.

And now they’re saying, here’s a list of what we’ll take out. If you play games, I don’t think they’re out of munitions. I don’t think they’re out of capabilities, not even close. And so I, I don’t mean to take the Iranian side by any stretch, but I mean, to be real about the discussions we’re being lied to on all sides of the equation. Are they in talks or not? And we can’t even answer that question with an honest straight face, Jack. I agree with you a hundred percent, Sam, I hate to say it, but it’s the most disastrous decision any president that I know of has ever made.

It’s an unprovoked attack. And now look what we’ve got herself into. Can you say Vietnam? And the thing you just mentioned is that we’re out of ammunition. According to everyone everywhere, we were out of ammunition back in 24 when we’re sending ammunition to Ukraine. And they were told at that time, there was a report saying the United States does not have enough ammunition to fight a war of its own. So they took two years and made no ammo. I don’t know. You know, this is what we get, I guess we’re following Israel into a war, but I’m looking for it right now to be, as you said, something terrible.

We’ve got oil prices going through the roof. Fertilizer is in short supply. Everything we as Americans receive is by diesel, by trainer, by truck, take your pick. But diesel brings you everything to your Walmart that you’re counting on people. And I’m telling you right now, that’s going to go through the roof and you say, don’t worry, we’ll get Venezuelan oil or don’t worry. We’ll do this or do that. We may, but at the same time, can we back out of this war? And I’m afraid Israel and Iran will not let Trump back out of this war.

I don’t think I think it’s going to be tough. And you know, we have a government that’s insolvent. I don’t know if you saw that story this morning or yesterday, but it’s been announced the U.S. government, it was by the Treasury, is now officially insolvent. Forty seven trillion dollars of current debt with four trillion dollars backing it. At the same time, Trump’s asking for 200 million more for this war, no end in sight. Inflation, high fuel prices. This is a decision. Don’t worry, Jack, I’m going to put on my head lamp and go into Fort Knox here pretty soon.

I’m telling you, it’s coming. It’s empty. I’m sorry, Sam, don’t bother. Waste your time. It’s already gone, so. [tr:trw].
