Hey folks, Dave Neal here with a bonus lunchtime episode of the Rush Hour podcast. And we have

Pierce Morgan calling Donald Trump ceasefire an absolute failure. I'm going to share what he had to say.

He had Megan Kelly on. And this is a big deal because these are folks they gave Donald Trump

basis for talks, includes reparations for the damage calls, the lifting of all sanctions,

and the release of Iranian funds seized by the United States. Now, the Iranian plan, the 10-point plan, Trump says, hey, you know, this is workable. Then we'll share Caroline Levitt saying, no, no, no, Trump threw this plan in the trash. Well, which one is it? It's a multi-billion dollar winfall. What does he think they'll do with it?

And on the question of cost, the US has now spent more than $30 billion on the war so far.

15 U.S. soldiers are dead. Thousands of Iranian civilians are dead. Trump's approval ratings
