00:00What did you advise the president initially as he considered his actions in Iran, and what are you urging him
00:06to do now, especially with Americans seeing higher prices at the pump and some of the fallout from that across
00:12the economy?
00:13Do you express any concerns like those you've expressed in the past on the possibility of these extended wars?
00:20Well, Bill, I appreciate the question. I know you guys have to ask it, but imagine the situation. We're in
00:27the Situation Room where you can't even take your iPod in there, or your AirPods, I guess what they're called.
00:34You can't take your iPhone in there. You can't take anything in there because it is the most classified space
00:39anywhere in the world.
00:40And I sit there with Pete Hegseth and General Cain and Marco Rubio and the entire White House team, and
00:46the president and I and the entire senior team are talking about the options and about what we need to
00:51do and about how we must best protect the American people.
00:54I hate to disappoint you, but I'm not going to show up here and in front of God and everybody
00:58else tell you exactly what I said in that classified room, partially because I don't want to go to prison,
01:04and partially because I think it's important for the president of the United States to be able to talk to
01:09his advisors without those advisors running their mouth to the American media.
