So there's that.

And then you mentioned the enriched uranium.

To the extent that Trump has – there's been discussion about sending in ground troops.

It seems like Trump has not envisioned a full-scale invasion, but it seems like he may want to – or he's contemplating sending in special forces to get the uranium.

Is that –

Yeah, but again, I talked to Pat Ryan about this.

We're talking about 900 pounds of nuclear material that's buried under a mountain that we bombed that you'd have to get out of the country hundreds of miles.

So you're putting this in your pockets and just running away.

No, and you have to put them in special containers so you don't die.

And so this is a serious operation.

You probably have to send in the 82nd Airborne to secure airfields and things to be able to facilitate this kind of transfer.

So it is an invasion.

It is boots on the ground.

I don't understand why the media kind of like takes at face value these claims.

Like, oh, it's not boots on the ground.

It's like, yes, it is.

Yeah.

What we just saw was the most bizarre, like we've never ever seen a president talk so cavalierly and vaguely and in ways that contradict itself about putting Americans in harm's way.

We've never seen anything like this.

Never had someone who seems to either not be able to retain the information he's given, not want to retain these information he's given, not be honest about what he knows and what he doesn't know.
