00:00Well, I mean, there was no congressional approval, Greg. And the polls suggest that the public are not on the
00:06whole on board. And I'm just wondering, I mean, maybe you've seen some different polls and do tell me what
00:10the what the other polls are saying. But I'm just wondering how risky this conflict is for President Trump right
00:17now.
00:17Yeah. Oh, definitely, Tom. There's risk. I mean, there's political capital that's being spent, especially if the outcome was not
00:24particularly positive. But so far, it's been even more asymmetric than than many of us expected. I mean, we expected
00:32that that the Americans and the Israelis would be overwhelmingly more powerful than Iran, but not to this degree. And
00:39so I think that's going to help.
00:40And you're right. You know that it's not popular. You know, war is never popular with Americans. And so it's
00:46definitely, you know, those that are against it are probably 10 points higher than those that are for it. But
00:53that's you know, that's the initial reaction. I think when you start to see the polling after the overwhelming results
00:59so far, I think that people will come around.
01:03And in terms of specifically the Republican Party, the sort of MAGA right that's, you know, very much against foreign
01:09intervention, that's that's a lot. That's really overrated. There's a very small segment of the party right now. And it
01:18seems like there's overwhelmingly overwhelming support on the right for this this war right now.
