But right, when he talks about the war, he brings up highlights of things that have been destroyed.
Now, this is not playing out like...
My reference point is kind of old, the Gulf War in 1981.
People are not watching live attacks.
The media is not there to watch them.
This has not been communicated back home.
Even the way the strikes in 2025 in June against Iranian nuclear sites were, where the administration could go out.
You don't need footage necessarily.
You can explain tactically what was done, what was achieved, why you did it.
He spent more time talking about Europeans not being helpful enough.
And I don't like to be patronizing and say, oh, Americans don't know what the Strait of Hormuz is, etc.
I was a part of a focus group last week with voters who were swing voters.
Some would vote for Harris, some for Trump.
They were not following news very closely.
They had just heard of the Strait of Hormuz and they were very confused about the impact.
They were not living their lives based on the map of the Middle East or war games that had been done to see what would happen if there was a hot war in Iran.
But it was penetrating, and they didn't have any guidance from leadership that they could tell.
Look, who is the response from Hegseth, etc., aimed at?
Well, it's aimed at a more conservative audience.
They spend some time on stage, Hegseth especially, making fun of the media for not being positive enough about what they're achieving.
