He refers to Trump as a Reagan plus, which sounds like how you want your steak prepared at an expensive place.

Graham calls for, quote, a massive wave of military cyber and psychological attacks is the meat and bones of help is on the way, which is what Trump truthed.

Then he says, destroy the infrastructure that allows the massacre and slaughter of the Iranian people.

and take the leaders responsible for take down the leaders responsible for the killing.

So again, like I have no idea how you translate that rhetoric into a strike package, but Trump has basically adopted the Lindsey Graham foreign policy.

So you have to wonder if, you know, Graham is in his ear whispering like we saw him last week on Air Force One.

I talked about this with Jason.

I mean, his house is in downtown Tehran, I think.

So you'd be bombing the biggest, you know, urban center of the country.

And if they lose power, they assume they're dead too.

Yeah.

I want to read you one quote, Ben.

So Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana, you guys have probably seen him on TV, sort of a goofball Southern guy who looks like Mrs. Doubtfire.

He has a book out where he described Lindsey Graham the following way.

If you want to stump Lindsey, just ask him to name a country he wouldn't bomb, Mr. Kennedy writes, adding later that the South Carolina senator is also unpredictable.

Invite him to dinner.

And you don't know if he'll sit down for an intelligent conversation or get drunk and vomit in the fish tank.

But that's why I like him.

Okay.

It's going on.
