You're back. It's great to be back.

You might be noticing I'm a bit red, slightly tanner than usual.

Here's what happened. My family and I went down to Key West for a couple days, and a family

friend decided that it would be fun to go on a boat together. You might not know this, but the Jewish

composition and constitution doesn't do very well with seafaring. And we all got absolutely viciously

nauseous. And three of the four family members of the Steinclan puked over the side. And this one

decided the best thing to do is just lay in the front of the boat like this the entire time.

I did put on sunscreen, but I left that episode very red. This is like four days later. Yeah, I was going to say, you look, you look golden. Like, I just want to say, like, stay gold, pony boy. You look great. Yeah, it wasn't like this. It was not like this. I've been putting a lot of lotion on. I've been putting ice packs on.

It was quite red. Ice packs. It was bad. I was torched. Anyways, it's great to be back, Sarah.

I'm glad to have you. We have a lot to get through. We are recording this around 3.15 p.m. on Sunday. And it looks like our president has bleated his way back into a war, this time potentially worse than before,

because shortly before we jumped on, news broke that the Iranian negotiators have decided

they're not going to actually go to Islamabad and meet with the Trump team.

Now, everything is definitely, you know, dynamic and fluid.

Who knows what happens by the time this posts.

But this seems to be a direct product of Trump bloviating on truth and saying,

and then not getting rid of the blockade of Iran.

And then talking about a deal that maybe didn't actually exist in theory, but insisting that it did. I don't know, Sarah, I've been catching up because I've been off. What's like, what's the real, what's your real take on this? What do you think's going on here? My real take is that you can go on vacation for a week. And when you come back, we're going to be at exactly the same place. Oh, I think we keep jumping on in the weekend. And then like Trump does something to calm the market, usually just before Monday,

and then often tries to calm the market before everybody leaves on, before it closes on Fridays.

And so sometimes you get sort of like rational behavior in these spurts when he feels like

the pressure's on.

And then he just freaks out and starts bleeding on truth social, which is how we conduct

foreign policy these days.
