00:00So gas prices were down. I think the national average was close to $2 a gallon. And do you
00:05think that's like where the actual station is? Do you think that's where that's natural? And,
00:09you know, obviously, the excursion in Iran is what's doing this with the high gas prices.
00:17As somebody who's enlisted, obviously, as somebody who served, what is your message to the troops?
00:23What does the off ramp look like in Iran? Well, the president said, look, we've accomplished the
00:28gross majority of our military objectives. I think you can make a good argument we've accomplished
00:31all of our military objectives. The president's going to keep at it for a little while longer to
00:36ensure that we once we leave, we don't have to do this again for a very, very long time. That
00:40was
00:40fundamentally the president's goal is said, look, this country, they're threatening us in all these
00:45ways. They're still trying to build a nuclear weapon. We need to neuter them for a very, very
00:49long time. And that's the purpose. You're right. Gas prices have certainly gone up because of what's
00:54going on in the Middle East. But they're going to come down, right? This is a very, very temporary
00:58reaction to what is going to ultimately be a short term conflict. I think the president's been very
01:04clear about this, that we're not interested in being in Iran a year down the road, two years down
01:09the road. We're taking care of business. We're going to be out of there soon. And gas prices are going
01:14to come back.
