They're betting the right is too fractured, too tired, too focused on national drama to fight a grinding block-by-block war for the future of our cities.

It's time to prove them wrong.

The left spent 30 years building the machine that took over New York.

We have to start building the machine that takes it back today.

The United States military just pulled off truly one of the most audacious, spectacular rescue operations in world history, truly world history.

We're going to go through every jaw dropping detail because I mean, this is going to be ten movies.

It's unbelievable.

No man left behind is not a motto for the United States.

It's a thing we do.

It's a promise.

And America kept that promise, which is why we are awesome.

But on a pure military level, we are dominating them.

Anyone who is telling you differently is just lying to you.

We have currently flown some 12,000 sorties.

Until Friday, they had shot down zero American planes.

Well, apparently, on Friday, they shot down two American planes, an A-10 Warthog, which is a relatively low-flying plane, and the F-15E, which was shot down apparently by a shoulder-fired rocket.

If we had not rescued that weapons system officer, if instead he'd been captured by the IRGC or its minions, because the IRGC was hunting all over the hills of Iran for this guy,

They'd put out a bounty on his head of some $60,000, which in Iranian dollars is legitimately a bajillion rials.

Well, if the IRGC had gotten a hold of Americans, that would have become leverage for the IRGC in the same exact way that hostages were leveraged for Hamas.

In fact, they did this during the Barack Obama administration when they came into conflict with a small American vessel, and then they proceeded to take pictures of Americans on their knees with their hands behind their head.
