Do you know how bad farmers are doing right now? You know farmers right now? I think bankruptcy for

farmers last year in 2025 was up 46% bankruptcies.

You know the Strait of Hormuz, how much they're relying on the fertilizer that's coming from

the Strait of Hormuz, how big of a liability this is for them.

And when you go through all the different kinds, what they needed for, price going from $300 to

$650 in month.

So they're dealing with regulation. They're dealing with prices going up for, you know, fertilizer. They're dealing with all this stuff. So I think that economy said, oh, my God, farmers are charging up. Farmers are not making any money. If you look at the average farmers margins, they make 3 to 12% if they're lucky. And they make 0% to 5% on. And most of the time, they're losing money. So we got to make sure they're good. We got to make sure the younger guys are buying houses, having kids. You know, and you're saying first-time buyers dropping from 40% to 26% so they can't afford to buy house. I think that affordability issue was there before Iran, but this just kind of ratcheted things a lot. We can't do it the European way by writing everybody checks because that'll just cause

more inflate. But we are doing that with farmers. We get $44 billion.3 this year. Sometimes it's

necessary. With farmers it may be, but I want to hear his thoughts on farmers. Well, that's where,

you know, back, it would be lovely if they could score a victory. If Venezuela would actually have a change of regime, if Cuba would have a change of regime, if Iran would have a change of regime, that would be, hey, we actually not one big victory. Otherwise, you know, yes, you and I, we say, oh, in the long run, this is a good thing for the U.S. strategically, but at some point you want to win a political goal.

That's massive, though. That's massive. If they do. and I, we say, oh, in the long run, this is a good thing for the U.S. strategically, but at some point,

you want to win a political goal. That's massive, though. That's massive. If they do flip Iran. If. That's a big if. It's a five, 10 percent, by the way. I'm putting it very low. But if they're able to flip that, this may be a completely. I think it's a higher percentage of success and if it does

happen it'll certainly be worth that so again it's

short-term pain I think they realize this is going to

cause be a complete... I think it's a higher percentage of success, and if it does happen, it'll

certainly be worth that. So again, it's short-term pain. I think they realize this is going to cause short-term pain. And this food issue is much bigger than people who are giving you credit for. Yeah. Not only when you have people who are pissed off about the economy for the last couple of years, now you jack up the price of gasoline, it's going to get to five, maybe $5.50, $6 a gallon. You're going to see food prices
