| 0:00.0 | All right, we are live with Alexander Bacurse in London. Sorry for the delay, everybody, |
| 0:11.5 | but we're here. We're here and we are alive. Alexander, how are you doing? I'm doing very well. |
| 0:17.0 | I say that. Of course, the news is getting darker all the time. We have probable war in the Middle East. I saw Axios, somebody said to Axios, that it's 90% certain now. I think it's 100% certain. So over the next couple of days, we're going to have a war, another war in the Middle East from the president who assured us that he would never provide, |
| 0:38.6 | never lead the United States into another big war in the Middle East. |
| 0:43.3 | Took him a year to go back on his promise. |
| 0:48.9 | Yeah, the Wall Street Journal is saying it's going to be a week plus operation. |
| 0:55.4 | And as we have been saying on this channel for a while now, it's going to be Trump's typical |

| 1:52.0 | I was thinking about that. |
| 1:53.0 | Will he want to start the conflict and then give the State of the Union or will he want |
| 1:58.0 | to give the State of the Union and then start the conflict? |
| 2:00.0 | I was also thinking that he's going to be starting this war during, well, during the Basca |
