Hey there, folks.

0:16.2

It is Monday, March 9th.

0:19.2

And we just listened to President Trump give his first Q&A press conference

0:24.2

since the start of the war. We wanted to hop on here on this episode of Amy and T.J.

0:28.3

To let you know what came out of that, I guess some newsworthy stuff in there, some stuff I would

0:33.5

love to see the evidence of in there. But it was good to see him take questions, robes. And I guess top of everybody's mind, when is this thing going to be over? There's been different messaging out there. He was asked directly about possibly being over this week. Yes. And he refuted that sentiment. Like absolutely not. It will not be over this week.

1:54.0

that within two to four weeks, Iran would have had nuclear weapons. And he was saying that this press conference may not have
