Jon Favreau

But this was a primetime address that he was reading off the prompter.

You imagine that some number of people in the White House, perhaps in the State Department, the Defense Department, other agencies took a look at the speech.

And it just was like, I mean, the speech was all over the place.

The written prepared speech was all over the place.

What the fuck were they doing?

Right.

And I'm sure they're hearing from because, you know, someone was talking to Steve Bannon before the speech and he wasn't right on this, but he was like, yeah, the message is we're going to wrap this up.

It's over.

Like he's probably hearing from people in his base or his orbit that like you got to you got to communicate that this thing's almost over.

Yeah.

Speech will fix it.

Where's the speech?

Race speech for the Strait of Hormuz.

Remember the oil spill?

You know, I was talking to Rhodes about that because I was like, that is a crazy, crazy speech.

I'm like, it does remind me of the oil spill speech.

But for those of you who are too young or don't remember that...

2010, there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and no one could figure out how to stop the oil spill.

The oil just kept coming out into the Gulf of Mexico, and every cable news channel in the corner of the television, you could just see the oil spilling out into the Gulf of Mexico all day long, 24 hours a day.

And everyone was like, Obama, you should fix it.
