Welcome to Red Meat, a collection of the tastiest tidbits from Odyssey's conservative news talk radio stations across the country, a place where we're not afraid to dig in.

We are not at war right now.

Oh, good.

Well, the Iran is all we talking about?

Yeah, just to be sure.

It's still, all is quiet on the Middle Eastern Front.

President Trump doubled down on his claims that U.S. military strikes against Iranian nuclear

sites crippled Tehran's ability to pursue a nuclear bomb, rejecting a leaked preliminary

intelligence report that claimed the strike had merely delayed Iran's efforts for a few months.

So where did the early report come from and why did the media run with it?

Let's kick things off today with a discussion of that on the Mark Cox show.

Because they hate him so much, they want him to lose more than they love the country and that's sad

do you have your cell phone can you look up what obliterate the definition of obliterate is

look it up everybody right now don't go to lindsay graham dot com that comes later look up obliterate

it says destroy utterly and wipe out.

Yeah, Senator Lindsey Graham on last night with Jesse Waters. He was talking about this, this dispute over what damage was really done in Iran, which is pretty fascinating to me, because the same people that want to argue that they didn't have a nuclear weapon or they weren't ready to build one,

now want to argue with you that despite what we did, they could still have one in a few days.

Really? You can't have it both ways.

We've got Brent Sadler with us right now and thrilled to get him on here this morning.

Great to have him on. In fact, he is a senior research fellow with the Allison Center for National Security at the Heritage Foundation, a Navy veteran himself.

And Brent, welcome back to the show.

How are you?
