Steve Bannon

And it looks like nothing the president can say is going to do that.

They're going to look for specific actions.

Your thoughts?

Is this speculation or is this people trying to hedge out in future months to make sure that they're covered?

Eric, hang on for a second.

I want to bring Brandon Weikert in here.

We're also going to get Kurt Mills up.

Brandon, your assessment, the president, I believe, felt that he gave, he talked about the off-ramp, two more weeks, maybe three, of an intense bombing campaign to defang and declaw what's remaining

And he said it's not much remain, but what's remaining of the conventional military forces and the industrial base, the military industrial base of the of the Iranians.

He did at the end say, hey, look, we're looking for a deal.

We didn't want regime change.

I didn't start with regime change, but we got regime change.

I'm dealing or we are dealing with with more logical people and we want to get an arrangement.

But if we don't get an arrangement or some sort of ceasefire or at least some sort of agreement, we're prepared to amp this up as a threat, amp this up and take out their energy infrastructure and their oil producing and distribution capacity.

Your thoughts about the speech, sir?

Brandon, I thought he was pretty specific about the uranium, that they had done it, that he had eviscerated their capability, and that, in fact, I think the signal, at least the signal I took, was that there wasn't going to be this hunt as the Mark Levins, you know, go get the nuclear pixie dust, go get it, and you've got to send people in to do it.

In fact, he wasn't doing that.

Did you actually take it?

Because I know you've been one of the ones most concerned about

uh a combat insert insertion of combat troops whether in karg island along the coast in some beachhead or in some expedition to go find the uranium dust uh did you actually take that do you take that speech as teeing up that possibility because i interpret it as that particularly not talking about it that it's two or three weeks bombing campaign if they don't cut a deal i'm going to really unleash a bombing campaign on their infrastructure but no combat troops you took it differently
