We don't even right now, like in the last, what, 48 hours, we've been told that the goal is to destroy the Navy and the missile program, but also the only acceptable outcome is unconditional surrender.

We've been told that this isn't regime change, but people should rise up and overthrow the regime.

We're a week in and we still don't, like, forget knowing why we were doing this before.

We don't know why

They did this after they did it.

We still don't know.

And that was after the three of us, as part of our jobs, watched the president talk about it for about 90 minutes.

We have no idea what we're talking about coming into this studio.

We watched the president of the United States, the commander in chief, spend an hour and a half talking about national security and national interest.

And we do not understand why we went to Iran, what success in Iran looks like, how we get out of it, what the goal is, any of it.

That is madness.

What we're dealing with is madness.

It does seem like what they want to do, you know, because whenever you listen to Rubio, he tries to be, you know, he's like Trump.

Not quite as fucking stupid and crazy.

Maybe as crazy, not stupid.

But anyway, you know, you wonder if...

They'll say at some point in the next week or two, we've destroyed X number of ballistic missiles and the and the sites that build them.

We've destroyed, you know, the Navy and and we feel pretty good that the nuclear program has been obliterated and blah, blah, blah.

And then they just and then that's it.

And then they say they're done.
