Well, Clay, great to be on.
I mean, first of all, I think what the president's doing is important for resetting the entire field over there.
And he's putting a lot of pressure on our enemies, to be blunt, Russia, China, who are feeling the strain of this.
And even Europe, who have not been stepping up there to uphold their end of the bargain, as he noted today.
You guys should go over here and invest in order to open up.
Now, the good news is we've seen a lot of the oil moving through the straits.
I think my advice, which I would offer very carefully, because he's the commander-in-chief, he's in charge of our national security foreign policy.
But my advice is, look, stay the course on making sure we take out Iran's offensive capabilities, both conventional and nuclear.
Stay the course on doing that.
That was the long-term threat.
That's why they've had the destabilization over the last five decades.
But not to get too invested in this such that we're in a quagmire where we've got boots on the ground and a massive expenditure.
Like the American people don't really want to go down that road.
So let's knock out their capabilities.
Let's keep up the diplomatic pressure.
Let's put pressure on the rest of the world to step up and stop Iran from continuing to have the threats that they have.
And then we can get back in the business of worrying about the election in the fall.
I'm going to say credit to the president.
You know, politically, people have said, don't do this.
