And I can say at Claremont, there are people who, you know, regardless of the wisdom of doing it now, certainly want the president to win.
But there are also critics of what the president's done here.
And I think we can have and should have a robust debate about those things.
And
And I think we are.
And I think War Room has been at the forefront of that.
And as I say, I've done a brilliant job at that.
Yeah, that's a great question, Natalie.
First of all, I think the PRC wanted that ceasefire because they want their oil contracts to be fulfilled from Iran, and they certainly don't want or could afford to have the global economy go into some kind of freefall if things got worse over there.
So they weren't doing this to look out for anybody but themselves.
Look, I've always looked at this problem with Iran
partly in terms of China, or maybe even mostly in terms of China.
China has used Iran as a proxy against the United States for many years.
The reason the Chinese want that proxy is because they're able to use it for influence throughout the Middle East.
So Iran's nuclear program, which is ostensibly the reason we're there, has been developed for over two decades with the help of communist China.
Much of that development of those nuclear weapons programs occurred in North Korea using Chinese and Russian scientists.
So China certainly sees Iran as one of their proxies.
Venezuela was also one of their proxies.
Cuba is also one of their proxies.
I think much of what President Trump has done here is to eliminate the ability of China's proxies to harm the United States.
