Hey, everybody. Welcome to a very busy episode of my great podcast. I'm Jared D. Sexton. We heard

Nick House with Nick. How you doing, bud? I'm doing. You know, things are getting busy.

You know, sometimes you get ready to a podcast, you know, like, man, we have a few things when you talk about.

And then there are times it's just over over the weekend you wish you had a show

every day uh yeah i i guess uh yeah i follow that line of reasoning and um unfortunately there's

some things we have to talk about that are extremely serious not fun not fun uh reminder everybody

go over to patreon dot com slash mark crack podcast and or support the show keeps that free

editorially independent and also we're going to be having a live show coming up here soon.

So, you know, keep your ears peeled for that. Hopefully you come join the fun.

What is not fun, Nick, is that on Saturday, Iran retaliated for the April 1st bombing of a consulate in Damascus by Israel.

They sent hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles.

Eventually, 99% roughly were intercepted by Israeli defenses, the United States,

the United Kingdom, and Jordan.

We are, though, unfortunately, a little bit on the precipice of an unknown future right

here, where this whole thing is going to go. We have all the coverage here, including all the

different angles. You're not going to hear anywhere else. Nick, what was your initial take on this?

This was a horrific thing to watch take place and be unclear about what was going to happen.

Well, I mean, thankfully, there wasn't a ton of damage and their defense systems work when

you have some other people also helping you with it.

I think what I go back to is I was trying to wrap my head around exactly why Israel needed to do,

to take out this general when they did or why they did in the first place.

And I know that there's been skirmishes with Hezbollah on the border of Lebanon for a while.
