Hey, everybody, Tim over in the bulwark here. You guys know I like it when I get to flex my

fiscal conservative muscles. You know, I'm always living out with you guys. And so I like it

when I get to, you're going to bring out the old green eye shade, Tim. Is that what was called

blue eye? Whatever, the eye shade, Tim, the one that cares about balancing the budget.

And I saw this top line number this

week that's been going around about how much the Iran war is costing us. And the first estimates

that came out had it at $1 billion a day. This was a congressional official talking to the Atlantic.

And then the Politico said they had sources that said that Estu

it was looking more like $2 billion a day.

When I saw that number,

this insane spending that we're doing on this war that has no clear purpose

or no clear explanation,

no clear rationale,

and made me think back to our friend Elon Musk.

When the administration started, we were spending a lot of time right here on this channel.

Talking about Elon Musk, Elon Doge and his insane ketamine-fueled tweet storms and the real-life impact he was having on the poorest people in the

world who are dying because of Elon's policies, but also people working in the federal

government who are losing their jobs, having to sue over their jobs, or not knowing, you know,

being told they'd just send a memo in that, like, you know, to the new little

Groyper, white nationalist boss that they had, telling them what they did every day.

Like, it was insane.

It was insane.
