aspects of our attitude towards iran, what would it be? i would take the iranians on and take them on aggressively, particularly in syria. also do it in iraq. they ll continue the support to hamas and hezbollah. mike, let me give you a metaphor for the circumstance. we re going all of this now. right? and for the first time in years we have gapped our carrier coverage in the persian gulf. that s almost inconceivable. what does that mean? it means we don t have an aircraft carrier anywhere in the region. why? great. thank you for asking. because the defense budget is where it is. and so one of the things i suggest, if you re going to do this you were unof the unavoidable costs of doing this, make the d.o.d. budget right and healthy again so we have the military power to push back against the iranians and double down on not just israel irs but arabs. a claes call for me. i give the israelis the m.o.m.
