    We can talk about the Iran war, although I doubt there's going to be a lot of debate about it, because even those of us who thought it might be a good idea to try to defang Iran, as we've been saying for so many years, they just fucked it up so badly. Trump never was going to have the attention span to get that done, right? It was going to take a period of months, protracted war, damage to the economy, at some point having to put troops on the ground. He was never willing to do that. No, there could have been an uprising. They just missed the timing, I think. I just think they should have done it while the people were in the streets. January, February? Yeah, instead of waiting until they all got shot and then doing it. Anyway, it's fucked up now. Here's the bright side of it, I think. I don't think the Republicans are scared of Trump anymore. For the first time in, like, almost 10 years. I don't think they are. When you read the quotes from the Republicans, they sound like Democrats. Ted Cruz, he said, dollars to theocratic lunatics. John Kennedy of Louisiana. Unless you were homeschooled by a day drinker. He says, no one's confident that Iran is going to do anything. Bill Cassidy said, Reagan is rolling over in his grave. I don't remember them ever doing this. It took Trump ending a war to get Ted Cruz to start criticizing him. No, go do more and more. Losing a war. Losing a war, yes. But, you know, how about even you agree, Bill, we can't be giving him $300 billion. dollars he says it's not taxpayer money it's money from the coast what happened from the gulf gulf countries why not put their money in pennsylvania and ohio what happened to america first
