And there was...
what was reported as two different launches one uh failed mid-flight the other one uh was uh interdicted by uh u.s uh anti-missile capability so i mean but for sure i i mean it was reported as so so i i wouldn't say for sure for sure but that's what it sounded like is what happened but um
But that's definitely scary.
And it definitely shows what they were building towards.
And it also shows what the Obama administration's JCPOA did not even attempt to even look at.
And this is what we were screaming about at the time.
You're not talking about their missile capability.
They're not talking about their proxies.
None of that stuff.
No, let's get billions of them and pallets and billions and unfrozen assets and allow them to continue to do this.
This was why it was so horrible.
I got to tell you, Glenn, this weekend, I don't know if I'm alone on this, but some of the first uneasy thoughts I've had about this entire war and where it's headed towards.
And my first thought when the president made that threat was...
It sounds kind of desperate.
It sounds like it might be one of the president's only options, but I see those only options dwindling down the further we get into this.
And if that happens, then you're looking at a lot more civilian targets open up from the Iranian side, if they're able to strike back.
So it's very possible that we've degraded them so far that they're just spitting empty threats.
But if it's not, then it's very, very escalatory for sure.
I would say that's not true that we are not able to.
I'm sure there will be some delays.
