It's another thing for us to put in place the mechanism to ensure that's not going to happen.

So you just got word he's going to be released?

How are you feeling?

When it comes to the disagreements with the Vatican, look,

We're going to have disagreements, Brett, from time to time.

I think it's a good thing, actually, that the Pope is advocating for the things that he cares about, but we're always going to have disagreements on matters of public policy.

Or I should say, sometimes we're going to have disagreements on matters of public policy.

The Pope has been critical of our immigration policy, but ultimately the immigration policy of the United States is set by Donald Trump.

The Pope is going to have disagreements on other issues.

We can respect the Pope.

We certainly have a good relationship with the Vatican, but we're also gonna disagree on substantive questions from time to time.

I think that's a totally reasonable thing.

It isn't particularly newsworthy.

What they have done is engage in this act of economic terrorism against the entire world.

They basically threatened any ship that's moving through the Straits of Hormuz.

Well, as the president of the United States showed, two can play at that game.

And if the Iranians are going to try to engage in economic terrorism, we're going to abide by a simple principle that no Iranian ships are getting out either.

We know that's a big deal to them.

We know that applies additional economic leverage.

And again, Brett, the president wants the Iranian people to thrive and succeed.
