0:00.0 | It is Monday, June the 23rd. |
0:03.0 | This is the warning. |
0:05.0 | It has been an eventful weekend in the United States with Donald Trump and Champaign Pete Hegeseth, |
0:12.0 | ordering the United States Air Force to attack three Iranian nuclear facilities with a sortee more than 125 warplanes. |
0:25.6 | It has become fashionable all of a sudden for media reporters who couldn't tell the difference |
0:32.6 | between a captain and a lieutenant colonel, a United States Marine, and a soldier to cite with joy and |

2:02.2 | irrationally. More recently, Wall Street coined the acronym, Taco. Trump always chickens out. |
2:10.3 | That's the opposite of what happened on Saturday night. No matter what you think of Trump's |
2:15.3 | policies on immigration, tariffs, or anything else, |
