Welcome in. We have a lot to talk about today. The first being the GBU 72. This is one of America's

0:04.6

newest weapons. So we will dive into the GbU 72 today. We also have the A10, which is now operating

0:11.4

on the southern flank of Iran. General Kane said yesterday that it will be supporting operations

0:16.0

against targets that are threatening the strait of her moves. And there are definitely some big

0:20.5

strikes that have occurred that have threatened the strait of Hormuz. And there are definitely some big strikes that have

0:21.1

occurred that have threatened the straight in the last 48 hours, which will highlight some of the

0:25.7

impacts with that as well. And then this doesn't appear to be ramping down. The Pentagon is asking

0:30.4

for more money to support operations. And it appears we see more iron and more people that are

0:35.3

flowing to support operations in the region.

0:37.9

And that's mentioned that the Secretary of War said yesterday that escalation is continuing

0:41.6

to accelerate in the largest strike package has yet to be seen.

are a target whether you wear the uniform or not. Weak passwords, reuse credentials, reuse

1:00.7

passwords. I think we're all guilty of that. It's an easy way for adversaries to get in without

1:05.5

firing a single shot. And that's why I use Proton Pass. It's a password manager, built by the same team behind Proton Mail, which is a Swiss-based company.

1:13.9

Features end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge architecture, which means that even Proton can't see your data.

1:20.4

It generates strong, unique passwords, stores two-factor authentication codes, and autofills logins across all your devices.

1:29.0

It even monitors the dark web and alerts you if your credentials have been leaked in a breach. No ads, no data tracking, and it's

1:34.1

completely free to start. Take control of your digital identity today. Protect yourself, protect your

1:39.5

loved ones, and check out Proton Pass link down below. With that being said, let's get into the GBU 72.

First piece I want to talk about here is the GBU 72. This is a 5,000 pound class weapon,
