On to the free section of this episode,

Saiger and I are going to discuss the latest tit for tats in the Middle East

in the wake of Iran's drone strike and ballistic missile strike on Israel and the Israeli

follow-up earlier this week.

I'm curious about what's your reaction? what have we learned from the past week now

at this seems that we're hitting pause but the parties are hitting pause on

this specific incident obviously I think we're going to be back in this position in a

week or two or a month or whatever, but what would you say that assuming this is finished for now, what have you learned from this?

That's an interesting question. I don't really know if I've learned anything. Do you think you've learned anything?

I don't think I've learned very much.

Everything that I thought would happen actually happen.

That's my takeaway.

I have not been surprised by anything.

I wasn't surprised by anything.

I wasn't surprised by the Israeli strike.
