“It just made me laugh. And it's like an alternate universe of concepts here. Iran's inflation. Right now, in inflation, we're talking about 4% inflation. In America, it is 70% inflation. Their GDP per capita right now is the same as Haiti. So their economy is literally collapsing all around them. Their military is decimated, their navy is decimated. We dropped a huge bomb right onto their nuclear facilities to be able to set them way back on it.” (05:27–05:31)
