This is not a trick question. So is the Strait of Hamouz open? Is it closed?

Open is it closed? Which one is it?

It's both, right? But mostly closed, right? In the end, what we want is to have ships going through there without Iran being total control.

So Iran is in control now, in part because of this war, and now the Navy is blockading it too. And so everyone's losing right now. Yeah, I mean, as I said, I'm not trying to be funny, but people don't know. Iran will say it's closed. Donald Trump will say it's open. He'll say we are in complete control of it. And the American people don't know. Look, I am more, I think, informed about a lot of this stuff than the average American. They're all of them people who are more important to me. And I don't know sometimes. Yeah. I think the average American didn't know what the Strait of Hormuz was before this war. And now they know that Iran has this incredible leverage now over the rest of the world. And it's all because of this war.

We created more problems than we solved by starting this war of choice.

Do you know, do you have, have you gotten a logical justification from the administration about why we did this?

Why we did the whole war?

I mean, they think that it was the only way to stop Iran from getting nukes.

It was the only way to stop Iran from sponsoring terrorism in the region.

The reality is they did not exhaust every diplomatic option.

Iran is very difficult to negotiate with, but at the end, this is what we're doing now, right?

We're still at the negotiating table and we haven't solved anything.

But they said they obliterated last summer all of the nuclear weapons. They did, didn't they? Right. Yeah. I wonder what happened with that. It seems like they're telling us one thing and then doing another. Why do you think they did it? They did it because I think they were in a position where they were impatient with Iran because they thought it would be like Venezuela would be simple.

We'd be out of this within a week.

And instead, they did not understand who Iran was.

You have to understand your enemy before you pick a fight like this.

And a lot of the people who give great intelligence to people all the way up in the White

House, they were fire. They were part of

the Doge cuts, right? And so we didn't get that color. We didn't get that intel that we

really needed. Do you think when you said they don't know Iran, I think Donald Trump

thought if he just was the craziest thing that he could say, the most outlandish thing that he could say on social media, that that would, they would, he would, you know, make them afraid and, you know, they would just relent, right? But it doesn't work that way, he's found out. No, they don't care if their people get killed. They don't care if their country is destroyed. All they want is money and

the state in power, right? Those are their sources of leverage. If you go after those things,
