and the Hoover Institute senior fellow, V.D.H. All right, V.D.H., CNN is saying the bombs we drop don't work? Is that believable? -No, the subtext to all of this is the more hysterical the left gets, the more they talk of impeachment, performance art, disruptions, potty mouth videos, all of that stuff, it's in direct proportion to Trump's success. They don't know what to do because they can't pigeonhole him. Unions like him, Wall Street doesn't like him. That doesn't make sense to them. He's bombing one day, and the next day he's forging a peace. He's not a right-wing bogeyman that they can pigeon. He's a transactional realist, and he's successful, and the more successful he is, the poverty of their no-ideas agenda is apparent. And then the other thing is we've lived in a 50-year myth, a Potemkin myth about the Iranians, where they had this indomitable army, and Hezbollah was these goose-stepping Nazi killers. And, you know, whether it was the Marine barracks or killing Americans in Iraq, we were always told, "You can't do this to Iran because they're indomitable." And in 12 days, Israelis blew up that myth, and Trump put the coup de gras on it. They have no air defenses. They have no air force. They have no top physicists. As you said, the top leadership is in hiding. The generals have been killed off. The Hezbollah is the shambles. The main dead are in hiding. There is no Hamas, really. The Houthis want to make a deal. There's no Syria anymore, no platform for their supplies. Russia's been kicked out. This is just a miraculous development. It's a whole new Middle East. And here, the left can't even appreciate what's happened. Donald Trump and Israel exposed that this was a 50-year myth that frightened and terrified us for no reason. They were like the Italian army in 1939 that everybody said, "You can't cross Mussolini. He's going to destroy us." And then it was a joke. It's the same thing. And we've got to take a deep breath and appreciate the extent of this achievement. They have remade the Middle East in 12 days, and I still don't think people can digest it. And to the degree they can, they're angry that Trump did it, and they hate him almost as much as they hate Netanyahu, and partly it's because they were both very successful. Myth busters and bunker busters, that's a good combination. VDH, if this is something Democrat and Republican administrations had wanted to do for a very long time, eliminate this nuclear program, and Trump finally did it, and we expect more damage assessments to come in as we get more spies on the ground, why can't the Democrats just say, "God bless our soldiers"? I mean, at least give them credit. You don't have to give it to the commander-in-chief. I know that's very difficult. I had a hard time doing it when Barack Obama took out Osama bin Laden. But at least you say, "Way to go, Air Force. Way to go, U.S. Navy." Yeah, but they don't appreciate what the Pentagon and the military is for, which is battlefield efficacy. Remember, under their leadership the last four years, we were down 45,000 troops, recruitments. And there was a reason for that. The demographic that goes to God-awful places like Fallujah and Helmand Province and dies at twice their numbers in the demographic, they were demonizing, and they were pushing DEI down their throat. If they didn't get a vaccination, they kicked them out. They had no affinity for it. And that demographic feels now that it's a fair-level playing field, and they want to go back. They don't think there'll be a Kabul anymore. There's going to be deterrence. And they don't like that. They don't like what the Pentagon is designed for. And that is to defend America and restore and enhance deterrence. For them, it's a social institution that doesn't have the problems with Congress or debates or shouting. They can just use the chain of command and bam, bam, bam, DEI, transgender women in pregnancy flight suits. They can get all their social agenda through the Pentagon that way by obsequious generals that are Washington totems. And they don't want this type of military. That's not what they want. They don't view it that way. They see it as a social justice institution.
