Welcome to Red Meat.

The conservative news update you need from Odyssey stations across the country.

This is the place where we're not afraid to dig in with no end in sight for the Iran war.

A battle that, not for nothing, seemed to come out of nowhere for most Americans until gas started costing $5 a gallon.

How do we get out of it?

Let's check in with Mark Cox.

The mantra you would hear dripping from the lips of generals with a serious look on their

face was, our diversity is our strength, which is the single dumbest phrase in military history.

Of course, our diversity is not our strength. Our unity is our strength. Our shared purpose. The flag we wear and the Constitution we serve to defend.

Yeah, Pete Hegseth there yesterday, talking to the United States senators. And boy, that got a little heated yesterday. He was talking to Tammy Duckworth, who accused him of hating women. And I mean,

it just kind of got kind of got off the rails. The point that he was there for, though,

is obviously what's going on in Iran right now. And normally we would have J.J. Carapano

joining us on a Friday morning. But Steve Boucci's been kind enough from the Heritage Foundation,

visiting fellow focusing on cybersecurity and military special ops.

Steve, good morning to you.

Good morning. Thanks for having me on the show.

Absolutely. Great, great to get you on here. And, you know, I'm listening to the president's

comments. And I think I might have heard General Keene say yesterday on Fox News that he would not be surprised to see military operations resume over there soon.

I would agree with General Kean completely. The Iranians are not good faith negotiating partners, any of them.

The civilians, definitely not the IRGC.

President Trump has gone more than the extra mile to try and do this with negotiations.

It's now time to say, okay, you had your chance.
