And we're very close.

We've completed most of them.

There's a few others we haven't completed that we continue to pour resources in military hardware, more operational capabilities.

We continue to pour it into the region.

Your thoughts on that?

Is the president just doing that so he's got a hammer, particularly this thing that he said at the end that if the Iranians don't come to some sort of agreement, we're going to we're definitely going to escalate and take out their and take out their their power grid and maybe even their oil and gas production capability?

Yeah, he's still about optionality.

Talk to us about what do you anticipate?

You've got the Easter holidays.

I think the president's going back to Mar-a-Lago.

What do you anticipate we could look forward to over these next four or five days?

As a reporter that covers the White House, last question, because there's a difference of opinion.

I thought it was pretty clear about staying with the program he's got to degrade and destroy much of the Iranian military.

But both Kurt Mills and Brandon Weikert, who people understand they come from one side of this, they thought that he opened up and implied that it could be open for ground troops.

In listening to that speech and covering the White House, do you take anything away from last night that actually said that we could in the two or three week period or beyond insert ground troops there?

He's pretty tough on NATO over the last couple of days on true social and comments he made.

In fact, I think even as we speak, Starmer is collecting 24 nations to at least begin a starting conversation about what they would do to replace America if our Navy didn't have the –

And military didn't have the responsibility of keeping the open, the straight or moves or at least maybe getting more aggressive with that against the Iranians.

Did that strike you as odd last night?

He was quite, I thought, gentle on NATO and the other allies.
