They're saying like, no, no, no, no, we didn't sign up for this and we're not getting money in our pockets anyway.

How do you see the general state of political play?

Well, this is the danger of going into a war without a clear set of goals that you're sticking to, but also making no case to the American public.

I mean, the polling is very stark on how unpopular this is versus lots of other military interventions that we've engaged in that ended up being very unpopular, but at least there was some buy-in from the American public.

blow your mind.

That he can sell on QVC also.

I mean, he's jealous of those guys, frankly.

No, he's actually said that to Jesse Waters, one of my colleagues.

He said straight up, if I don't do it, who's going to?

And Jesse had no answer.
