Bahedis in charge of the IRGC.

0:02.6

Under their Mosaic doctrine, they've broken that down to 31 IRGC headquarters.

And they've thought about fighting the United States.

0:10.1

So my point to them being fractured in their leadership, which it is because of President Trump and what he has done,

0:16.8

as I'd say, let's create more problems for them and try to figure this out.

0:20.7

That's why I keep going back to take something like Carg Island or seize the islands in the straight of Ormoos with the tripling and box or args that you've got there. And you've got elements of the 82nd in theater. They can take Cargallet. And all of a sudden, now you're creating and compounding the problem for them to try to solve. And I don't think they can solve it because they don't have the leadership left that can figure this out.

So that is Lieutenant General Kellogg, weighing in on where we go from here.

In light of the fact that yesterday, we had Air Force 2 ready to go with the Vice President, Steve Whitkoff,

1:28.2

and Jared Kushner to fly into Islamabad, 18 hours, by the way, 18 hours, and then became clear the Pakistanis said they're reverse course and that the Iranians will not be sending a delegation.

There is no agreement the president extended the ceasefire three to five

the Ninth Commander of the United States Special Operations Command, and the author of a brand new book,

1:50.9

Perfect for 250, called Duty, Honor, Country, and Life, a tribute to the American spirit. Admiral,

1:56.7

always great to have you, man. So we hit the ground running. That's one lieutenant general's

2:00.8

opinion about where to go from here. Love yours. Yeah, good to be with you, Brian. So we hit the ground running. That's one lieutenant general's opinion about where to go from here.

2:02.7

Love yours.

2:03.6

Yeah, well, one, I love Keith Kellogg.

2:05.9

It's always enjoyable listening to him on Fox.

2:09.0

I probably disagree with him in some respect.

2:12.5

So I actually, I teach a class at the University of Texas, the OBJ School of Public Affairs,
