Appreciate you.

And speaking of, Hegseth in this press conference, when he spoke, I'll rewind to prove your point right there.

He says, the way we negotiate is with bombs.

Here, let's play this clip.

I'll pause it to you in a moment, but let's break down some of those words he says.

We're doing this viciously.

We negotiate with bombs.

We loiter over Iran.

That's what we at the War Department do.

And we're going to throttle as long as it's hard.

OK, those were the words that he used right there.

So is he writing the script?

for the propaganda campaign for Iran to say, you know, those Epstein class people, here's what they're saying that they want to do to you.

Here's what they are treating the, not just the regime.

They make no distinction between the Republic, the Islamic Republic and the people of Iran.

And it plays right into what

The Islamic Republic's gonna tell their people, look what they're, and Iran is using it to say, look what they're saying.

And it makes us weaker and it harms our troops.

What do you make of that, Katie?

Right.
