This is the least popular war or military intervention in modern American history.

They have done, I guess, in their pitch, they've increased the support for it five and ten points, depending on the poll, only bringing you up to the mid 40s.

They have made basically no effort to sell this to the American people.

And I understand railing at the idea of, you know, President Trump, he promised us no new wars, et cetera.

Really, the line in the sand is those boots on the ground.

People have a large threshold now.

To tolerate strikes abroad.

But when American lives are going to be lost, which they already have been potentially more coming, I think 232 have been wounded, most of them with severe brain trauma.

The American public is not interested in that.

And if you can't be bothered to really make the case to them and get them behind it the way that we have seen in past conflicts.

It's not surprising that you end up with a result where Trump is basically having to go it alone in a lot of ways and just rail against our friends.

But we've heard from presidents and Paul, I'd love to get your thoughts on this for my almost my entire lifetime that something needed to be done about this regime.

that they were killing Americans year after year after year, hundreds of Marines in Beirut.

They were attacking the United States.

They control the Strait with a chokehold on it that is untenable.

The idea that if we had done nothing, there wouldn't have been ramifications for that is something that has long been negated in anyone who has studied the situation closely, Paul.

So when you look now at where we are,

We're a little more than three weeks into this.

Three weeks is nothing.

I mean, it took a month to secure Iwo Jima.
