Good morning, three minutes after 10 is the time. And, well, flipping heck, it's deja vu all over again, isn't it?

We should start beginning the program with I Got You, Babe, by Sonny and Cher, which I don't think you need to be a massive sinist to recognize as a motif, most obviously associated with the opening moments of Groundhog Day, or the recurring opening moments of Groundhog Day, the Bill Murray film.

Because how do you do it, do you think?

How do you focus on meaningful questions when the man in charge is mad?

I think we began last week's, but Did we do, was it the week before

pointing out that Donald Trump is a deranged liar and it makes analysis, it makes prediction

almost impossible. So let's just recap briefly, right? This isn't a war. It is, and quotes,

excursion, a word that has no meaning in the context of what's happening in the Middle East, but the word that Donald Trump has used repeatedly.

I think, honestly, because someone used the word incursion in front of him, and he misheard, misunderstood, and carried on regardless.

So it isn't a war, it's an excursion, but we have won the war. We have won the war so

successfully that we don't need any help, but if people don't send us help, then they will

suffer unimaginable punishment. If they don't send us the help that we don't need, we certainly

don't need aircraft carriers, but my goodness me, if Kirstama doesn't send aircraft carriers soon, then I am going

to be furious with him because he's not Winston Churchill. Of course, reports that Donald Trump thinks

that Winston Churchill is an insurance company in this country, as opposed to a wartime leader,

have neither been confirmed nor denied. So it isn't a war, but we've won it, except we haven't won it, but we don't need any help except we do need help. Is that about right? Have we got that about right? It isn't a war, but we've won it. And we don't need any help because we've won it, but we better get help soon. Otherwise, we might not win it.

And then you come to the Straits of Hormuz, of course, and the claim that it is not necessary for America to stay in the area, followed within a couple of hours, the claim that it is

absolutely necessary to stay in the area.

In fact, if Iran don't open the Strait of Hormuz immediately,

then he's going to start blowing up power plants.

But an hour before that, he made it absolutely clear that they could just leave anyway

because they don't get affected by the partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz,
