Who of those? Why not you? All right, let's get started. All right. There is a lot going on. A bunch of things to get to today. We've got the banking situations and have they propped up credits. We said they don't know. Nobody knows is it's really a matter of at this point. It's panic. It's panic. Now individuals can't really panic enough to make much of a difference. Just be honest with you. Like if you you've sold. If you had a thousand shares.

There's some bank and you sold it. It wouldn't even rate. It's the massive hedge fund managers. It is the the rich guys. The rich leftists. All these people donate heavily to Democrats. They control massive portfolios. And if they decide to sell, then it crashes the stock. So we'll see. We'll see. It's just one of those things where you sit there and you watch these people talk about the things as they just.

They won't tell you the truth about it. Because what's the point in telling you the truth about it? Where's the panic? The panic porn on both sides. Oh, things are fine. And don't worry. And things are going to die. We're all going to end up slaves to the state. Okay, I doubt either one of those are going to be true. Thanks are going to fail. We'll survive. It's not going to I doubt it'll be like the great depression or anywhere close to it. But you never know. Just take care of yourself. Do what's right for you.

And you'll probably come through this thing. Oh, right. Not a lot of money in the panic in a non panic porn, but it is worth pointing out.

I have seen this footage of the drone. Now, this is one of those things where they're trying to stir things up. When I first heard the story of the US drone that collided with a Russian aircraft, a Russian fighter jet, as they put it, it is a fighter jet.

And crashed into the sea. I didn't hear that it was a drone. I should have known that it was a drone. We, we seemingly barely fly anything these days with a human being on board, which has its pros and its cons. But, um, I first heard like there was a collision between Russian aircraft and a US aircraft.

And it was a horrible catastrophic collision. Like, oh, what's this is bad because I've seen and heard reports going all the way back to George W. Bush. Remember with China George W. Bush in his first, you know, couple of months, maybe even couple of weeks in office, the Chinese Communist government flying the US government was flying through the sea of China China South China Sea, which is international waters.

And a Chinese plane crashed into skin and crash into it, but it bumped a US freighter. I think it was a flight of air freighter. So it had like 12 or 15 troops on it or whatever. It caused some damage to the plane to the point that the plane had to be had to land and had to land in Chinese territory.

And the Chinese government held the people for a week or two. I forget what it was. Eventually they were released.

But it was a big scandal at the time. And ever since then, and probably before we just didn't hear about it, but ever since then you'd hear about

close calls between US aircraft and aircraft of our enemies. Make them a steak. They are our enemies. You don't have to be in a fighting war with them for them to be an enemy.

And you know, it came close, came within a hundred feet. You see in the Persian Gulf, you'd see

Iranian fighter jets flying close to US boats, ships. They all do this. All desquits. There's there in much

variation, variance in the playbook over there. If you're an enemy of the United States, you like to poke the bear to see how far you can go.

Now we have to maintain calm. But at a certain point, we should sort of let our calm go. If an Iranian fighter jet is buzzing our ships and causing all sorts of problems,

who would care honestly if we shot it out of the air? I mean, the Russians probably would.

Or I mean, the Iranians probably would, but honestly, why should we shoot them down?

Right? It would send a message that if you come within a hundred feet of our stuff or 50 feet or whatever it is, we're going to shoot you down. We're not going to worry about, oh, trust your pilot, not being a complete jackass and being able to handle the aircraft that they're flying. Shoot them down.

I don't think you do that with Russia or China, but doing that to Iran kind of sends a message to Russia and China going, hey, wait a second.

We maybe should rethink this thing. That being said, the footage at the Pentagon released of this drone collision, because it turns out to be a drone, at which point, you know, with no American lives and danger, I lost interest in it. Now, I don't appreciate the attack on our property or the damaging or destruction of one of our expensive pieces of military equipment.
