Like Trump gave the longest State of the Union in history and spent like two minutes on Iran.

I think it was the Tuesday.

And then we went to war that Friday night, Saturday morning.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Let's stipulate you're not defending Stephen Chung.

Yeah, it's very – because when you see in the polling, right, the polling is all very bad for this war.

But how bad it is really depends on how the question is asked.

Like there was a poll out this morning which asked the question in terms of whether you approve of the war to take out the Ayatollah and stop their nuclear ambitions.

That poll is much better than do you support the war with Iran?

And, and so like, like it's all bullshit because they were, Trump told us a few months ago that he obliterated, not even a few months ago.

He told us like two weeks before the war that he had so obliterated their nuclear capacity that we would have to bomb the dust, right?

The leftover dust.

But if you, there was a, there was a way, like if you want to take the country to war, you have to do, you have to have a reason to do it.

You have to do an immense planning process for what happens after the first bombs drop, which they did not do here.

They absolutely did not do.

They seem flummoxed by everything that's happening.

But you also have to go to the country and go to the world and build a case for it.

And they did not even try.

That may have failed.

It probably would have failed under all scenarios.
