00:00Well, I think the bigger regret is the Iranian people. They're paying a very heavy price.
00:05This regime has for years attacked its neighbors, killed Americans, used their surrogates to
00:11promulgate the Islamic revolution. And I think that's all been brought to light.
00:15And this president, President Trump, took action finally to stand up to that. So I think Iran is
00:21really in the precarious situation. And if the president decides really to go to all-out war,
00:28to really finish this, he can do that. Iran has less options than everyone else does. So
00:34if the president decides he really wants to get his objectives accomplished, which in
00:40beyond the Straits of Amuz, ensure they never have a nuclear weapon, end support and funding of the
00:46surrogates, and then stop killing the Iranian people, the president can do that. I think that's
00:51the realization he's come to. So yes, we're in a precarious situation. But if the president
00:57decides the price is worth it, he can meet those objectives, I think that's the path we're on
01:03right now. I think many of the Arab states understand that. And while the short-term economic
01:10problems have created issues at that side, I think they're all focused on what the long-term
01:16end state is going to be. And unless there's a regime change, this thing can go on for decades,
01:22it's like it has over the last 47 years.
