00:00Firing, because we...
00:01Well, you should ask that to the Iranians.
00:02Don't ask me.
00:03We didn't fire.
00:03They fired on us.
00:04My point is, if you fire at a U.S. Navy ship,
00:07what are we supposed to do?
00:08Say, oh, there's a ceasefire.
00:09We're not going to shoot down your drone.
00:10That's a stupid question.
00:11That's a stupid position to take.
00:13Of course we fired back at them.
00:15They were shooting at us.
00:16That's what I would expect to do.
00:17Only stupid countries don't shoot back when you're shot at,
00:20and we're not a stupid country.
00:21Normalizing of their controlling of international waterways
00:24is both illegal and it's just something that's unacceptable,
00:27and the world has to start asking itself,
00:28what is it willing to do if Iran tries to normalize
00:31a control of an international waterway?
00:34I think that's unacceptable.
00:36But we're expecting a response from them today at some point.
00:39We have not received that yet in the last hour,
00:42but perhaps that will come.
00:44Their system is still highly fractured
00:45and a bit dysfunctional as well,
00:47so that may be serving as an impediment.
00:50I hope it's a serious offer.
00:51I really do.
00:52Can you go ahead?
00:53I expressed, you know, updated them on the situation with Iran,
00:56expressed our point of view about why this was an important,
00:58and the danger that Iran posed us to the world,
01:00which is largely recognized.
01:02So obviously the Holy Father is a spiritual leader.
01:07He's the first and foremost.
01:09I mean, that's his role to play.
01:11And obviously the church has always interacted
01:13on behalf of a mission for peace
01:16and a respect for all of humanity.
01:19But at the end, it was a very cordial and important meeting,
01:22and it's important to share our points of view
01:25and an explanation and an understanding
01:27of where we're coming from.
01:28And I thought it was very positive.
01:30See you guys.
01:31Keep in it.
01:35You're welcome.
01:36I'll be right.
01:36Let's talk.
