Politically and just as a factual matter, it's not mission accomplished. The war is not over. It's still ongoing. Why would President Trump even try to put that imagery out there on the cusp of a midterm election? Well, I disagree. I think we've won the war. I'm just waiting for the president to go before the American people and formally announce it. I mean, we've sunk their navy. We've destroyed their military. We've decimated their defense industrial complex. They have no way to produce a nuclear weapon tonight, and it's been confirmed over the last few days.

And at the same time, the U.S. Navy has assisted in shipping out of the Gulf 750 million barrels of oil. By any meaningful metric, we have won this war. The president needs to tell the American people that we've won the war and all the ways that we've won the war. and I assume we're going to have to leave some surveillance over there. And that's the truth. And I think that's what we're going to hear from you pretty soon. I mean, I think, just to start with one of the last things that you mentioned, the amount of oil that is coming out of the Strait of Hormuz because we're escorting them, that's still about half of what it was before the war.
