I spent four months in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1994.

So I've been in the region.

That region has dominated our country for far too long.

And it's been because of the Iranians.

So the president is smarter than I am in terms of these deals.

But if we don't get the kind of deal that we need and we back out and we let them continue to murder Americans, I don't see the president doing that.

So it's going to have to be something really

stupendous for the Iranians, I think, to get out from under this one this time.

I write on American greatness, and I just had something published today about don't let the Chinese Navy into the rim of the Pacific exercise that comes up in June of this year.

Don't let them back in.

Well, Steve, I think, you know, the verbology can, you know, we're going to watch different words be thrown around.

But typically a blockade is used in terms of military operations associated with a kind of an act of war.

whereas a quarantine is, I think, what we've been actually doing.

You know, the taking of the Bella One, the taking of the earlier tankers a few weeks ago.

Oh, by the way, Southern Command also took the motor tanker Sophia here in the last 24, 48 hours as well off the coast of Venezuela.

So what we're doing is we're enforcing our –

it's international law as well as U.S.

national law against sanctions against this dark fleet that's transporting illegally obtained oil, and we're going to stop it.

And we're not going to, as you said, we're not going to go to a court of law to do it.

We have the capacity to do it.
