understands don t understand that, nor is there awareness that o military has been in decline while our adversaries are growing in power. and you know, i don t think folks recognize. here is a good example. our u.s. air force today is the smallest, oldest and the least ready in its history. think about that. the b-52, the backbone of the free world s bomber force, just celebrated its 72nd anniversary of its first flight. neil: wow. while not as geriatric, similar could be found in every service. the world is on fire and it s woefully unprepared and getting that conversation this year. neil: you re getting that conversation and might not be the way you like. certainly among republicans who are open to aid for israel, not so much to ukraine, what do you
next year. what does it mean for you. rates could go higher. if you re a first time home buyer waiting to pounce you could be waiting longer. and inflation, it s not just a problem when it comes to rates. it calls into question whether we have a handle on the economy. i think a perfect indication is what s happening in the bond market. in times of uncertainty people buy bonds because a government-backed treasury means safety. invests don t think so anymore, they re not buying. neil: another troublesome sign there. kelly o grady. i want to go to aaron gibbs, and kathy, the capital markets genius. if you don t mind i d like you to sort of react to something that neel kashkari told me. he kind of echoed what both of you had been warning about, the back drop for interest rates not getting cut anytime soon. this is from neel kashkari. we just need to sit here and be patient until we see the data and hopefully get
numbers. that s not totally unheard of. neither across portions of the south. you think spring and big storms, they re seeing them currently in texas and this is a very robust system. you see all of that lightning, the heaviest rain coming down from dallas and stretching further off into portions of east texas here. really heavy rain and flooding could be an issue. we have a low end severe storm threat across this region here today. don t be surprised if some of the storms get severe and that means really big thunderstorms with hail and strong winds and the larger concern, pretty consistently here is going to be the flooding. because of the amount of rain that we re falling across this region. i ll get out of the way. a time stamp there. 6 p.m. we re watching the storms drag across portions of the southeast, ultimately overnight they run across the southeast getting more into georgia, alabama, into the carolinas, by the time you get in sunday and you finally clear off by the time the w
demonstrated its ability to defeat iran s mass aerial assault and that s an element of deterrence all on its own and then the limited strike, the israelis executed in response was calibrated to demonstrate their ability to strike inside iran while at the same time preserving their relationship with saudi arabia and others who seek to provide a counter weight to iran without open conflict. and what this course of action also did was preserve israel s relationship with the united states who urged restraint, and prevented a flareup of hezbollah on the northern border of israel. so israel satisfied the demands for response to iran s attack without opening a new campaign in an already complex conflict with iran s proxies. so i think the bottom line, israel s stronger today and iran is weaker, but don t think by any measure that this is the end of iran s long war against israel and the united states.
