Ben Domenech

He has this very visceral attitude towards risking American life.

And there have even been stories, not ones that I've been able to run down, though some other journalists have claimed that they have, that he kept going back to the Pentagon when it came to reworking that Maduro raid.

in order to get the number lower and lower and lower in terms of the risk to American lives because he didn't want to lose anybody.

And so I think that when it comes to this war, people who are concerned about American troops having to go in on the ground, I think the president will be incredibly hesitant to do that.

He is trying to do something with air power that isn't traditionally achieved.

And we will need additional work by the Israelis, I think, in order to achieve it in a real sustained way.

But that fact gives me a lot of optimism about this moment and with this president when I am probably, you know, historically the most war skeptical of, you know, many of the people who are part of Daily Wire.

And that is, you know, born again out of.

I believe, sort of a naivete that we had in the past.

I don't think the president has that naivete.

I think he wants to get this done.

He wants to get it settled.

And he does not want it to be the kind of thing that he has asked about after his presidency.

Do you wish you had handled this differently?

There's a serious aspect of this, and then there's one that is actually very fun.

And I resent the idea that making fun of Piers Morgan is something that is out of balance because it's just too much fun to do.

But here's the thing.

What you are getting at is something that I think is important, which is that we shouldn't allow these wars, which I believe are fun to fight and good to fight, arguments that are worth having, if only, by the way, to show that the other side of it often does not have any willingness to argue or debate.

or actually deal with any of the ramifications of the things that they're saying, which tells you enough.

But I also think that we have to make sure that there's some balance there.
