I got a lot of questions, Senator, and everybody listening right now I know is going to want to ask the same one I'm going to ask.

You're on Air Force One.

You were in D.C.

You flew with the president back to Texas.

How much of the conversation on Air Force One was about this?

becoming a reality 24 hours later, less than 24 hours later.

You guys either had great poker faces when you were down there in front of that ship that we had seized in Venezuela in the oil and what you were doing on that trip, because clearly this was in the final moments of the planning stages or execution, I should say, stages of this plan.

What all was discussed on it that you can talk to us about?

There's even more risk if you don't act, right?

I mean, that's how you look at this.

When people say, I don't like war, you know, I can't believe you're advocating this.

I don't like war either.

But I really don't like a war where Iran starts it and Iran has a nuclear weapon and Iran kills countless innocent people, whether it is a dirty bomb or Israel or wherever they decide to do it in the world or have one of their proxies.

That was the biggest thing that I don't think people understood about Iran.

Iran getting a nuclear weapons center is not just them having it.

It's that they have these proxies they could also give them to and dirty bombs could go.

That's a major concern that a lot of people don't think understood in the complexity of Iran.

They're not the one that always has to shoot.

They may give the supplies needed to someone else to do it for them.

Well, let's go back to the Middle East for a moment.
