Well, late last night, President Trump delivered an update speech on the war in Iran.

0:06.8

And among the various things that he said, and it was a lot of the stuff that you would kind of expect out of a Trump speech.

0:13.3

But he listed out the objectives for Epic Fury.

0:17.3

And he gave something of a status update on those various objectives.

0:21.7

And then we can have a quick conversation of whether or not all of this was worth it.

1:11.9

That is what we're going to be talking about today. With me in studio, I have our resident
