you're not understanding what's going on here.

The center of gravity of this battle has been now for two weeks, the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

When we were there at night, hang on.

When we were there in 1979, 1980, we controlled the Strait of Hormuz.

We sent combatants up there to do early warning for Russian aircraft.

So we controlled it then.

We don't control it now.

The United States Navy has not gone near there.

Has it, sir?

That's my point.

You've shut down.

You're in the process of destroying the world's economy.

My point is the center of gravity is there.

Don't get me wrong.

For limited military operation, which we are doing against the regime, and I think doing magnificently, that's what's happening.

But that's the moral equivalent of the body count of continuing to chop up.

Okay, go ahead.

For the first time, they have a toll booth, and they let in who they want.

I think they let out 10 ships over the last couple of days, of which they take a toll to go to their partners, of which I think we allow them to monetize their oil.

Anyway, Captain Finnell, Eric Prince, all of it next.
