I want to bring in now Phil Stewart.

He is a chief national security reporter for Reuters, and also Risa Colbert is a political commentator, best-selling author, and the host on Sirius XM Urban View.

Good morning to both of you.

You heard that conversation.

He's a very good reporter, and he's in it,

You're in Washington, so I'm going to go to you first.

Do you agree with their assessment of what they're saying about where we are in this moment?

This is a problem of Donald Trump's making, and now he is saying that he fixed a problem that we didn't even have to have.

Yeah.

Were you in the briefing this morning?

Yeah.

And yeah, I'll, I'll play a couple of sound bites, but just real quick before I get to Reese, what, what, what are your thoughts?
