| 0:00.0 | Gahe, humans. Here we are. Talking about Iran again, I thought we'd won this. I thought, I thought Trump, I thought Tarko had done it. Last time I spoke last week, Trump was always chickening out again. And we were so relieved. We named the live stream. Trump always chickens out. Thank |
| 0:24.3 | F. Wood. And we were feeling like, you know, he didn't know what he was doing necessarily. |
| 0:30.2 | And then he said that he's going to raise a great civilization and raise them to the ground, |
| 0:35.8 | and the civilization will end tonight. And he said, |
| 0:38.7 | I'm going to take out their bridges, and I'm going to take out their power plants, and I'm going |
| 0:44.0 | to take out every last man, woman, and child, and they're all going to die. It's going to be |
| 0:48.4 | horrendous. And then it seemed like the Iranians sort of blinked, and I was saying, thank goodness for the Pakistanis, for bringing the Iranians together and going, okay, let's just have a two-week ceasefire. We're going to open the straits. Everyone can breathe a sign of relief. We're going to get the oil out again. Get the oil flowing. I get some relief at the pump.

| 1:40.4 | the tactic is we're going to take out the leadership, |
| 1:43.9 | we're going to blow up their nuclear sites, we're going to take out the leadership, we're going to blow up their |
| 1:45.3 | nuclear sites, we're going to take out their ballistic missiles, we're going to kill, you know, |
| 1:50.4 | all the senior military guys. That's all great tactically. We're going to own the skies over |
| 1:56.2 | Iran. And they did that very quickly. And then they go, so what's the strategic goal? What are we actually |
| 2:02.1 | doing? What's the purpose of this? What do we get out of it? And then it was a little bit more |
| 2:07.1 | ambiguous because if Iran is saying that they're going to put in a toll booth on the straight |
