Yeah, well, this is an incredible moment in history.

President Trump has taken very courageous and decisive action against an enemy that we have had for so many years who is unrelenting and will not, obviously, they didn't want to come to the table.

We didn't think they ever would.

And President Trump has been sort of leaking that out a little bit, a little, you know,

Let's say insinuating that without saying it directly.

But this is a country that has, since 1979, has repeatedly caused harm to the American people.

My son is actually a Marine, so bombing the Beirut barracks in 1983 to attacking our soldiers, killing our soldiers in Iraq and Iran, the proxies that they have funded and used against American citizens and our allies in the Middle East.

There was really no other option.

President Trump drew a red line and this is where we had to go.

And this is not a full scale inland invasion.

This is a tactical strike against nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, which are what are causing harm to our, could potentially cause harm to our country.

And this is a country that daily says death to America and death to Israel.

And we are, as everybody knows, we're the big Satan.

Israel's just on the way to America.

Yeah, look, I think that there is a lot of confusion because the American people have to understand the difference between peace through strength and the line being sort of pushed by isolation as saying that this is a full-scale war, which it's not.

It's very tactical, it's very precise, and it's protecting us against an enemy in the region and giving the Iranian people and supporting them a chance

for prosperity and for to get away from the terrorism that they've known since 1979 so i think there is a big distinction this is not a full-scale war we're not moving tanks or moving bases into iran like we did in iraq uh in iran and iraq and afghanistan i think this is a very different operation it's very more much more strategic and and i think you know obviously very well executed from what we know uh we'll see what happens uh you know we see what they followed is nobody knows all the information

But domestically, I think a lot of people don't understand some of the isolationist arguments that really I don't think square up with what this operation is.

This is not us invading a territory and moving in and setting up troops and setting up some kind of regime change.

We're trying to stop their ballistic missile operations.
