The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild.

"Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

I'm interested in what you think the sequence of events would be if Iran was nuked. Would Russia or N Korea nuke Israel? What would happen after that? Would India or Pakistan nuke someone? Would the US commit suicide by retaliating against Russia?
