It's great.

Great to be with you this morning.

Well, it's heartbreaking.

President Trump warned that this was likely to happen.

But I think you need to add this to the long list of murders and mayhem that the Iranians have caused this regime since they took over.

You think back to 1983.

What happened with our marine barracks, they took over 200 lives there of American Marines.

They've continued to consistently wage war either directly or through their proxies.

You think about what happened on October 7th of 2023, 1,200 people were murdered and slaughtered there, over 40 Americans included in that toll.

This is something that we're going to have to address.

President Trump was clear about this yesterday that it could happen.

I pray that this is absolutely minimized.

I know the president does as well, all of us do.

I don't think it's going to be successful at all.

First, President Trump has been clear he's not waging war on Iran.

What he's doing is he's taking out their capability to harm us, to harm our allies.

He's taking out their short-term, short-range ballistic missile capabilities.

He's also taking out their ability to create the launchers that send those missiles in the direction of our allies.

Also in the direction of commerce in the region.

20% of the waterborne oil exports in the world go through the Strait of Hormuz.
