trained with idf special horses, cameron hamilton. great to have you on. so the u.s. conducted additional strikes against houthi targets tonight because the houthis again fired a missile into the red sea. so yesterday's strikes we thought would deter them. it has been -- had no deterrent effect whatsoever and yet we're going to keep this back and forth going for how long? >> that's a great question, trace. again thank you for having me. what we find here is again soft rhetoric and soft implication against regions and nations that are aggressive in this area. yield results like this all too common. so when the biden administration tries to apiece radical agendas and we project weakness overseas we make ourselves subject to additional attacks. unfortunately what we are seeing from houthis they have infrastructure and capabilities many people would underestimate and do so very foolishly. so we obviously need to defend the trade and defend the routes
