I think I'll wait inside.

Pete Hague says, please, Mr. President.

I'll start kind of where you left off, Mr. President.

Thank you for doing the work of the free world and having the courage to step up and stop

the Iranian terror regime from holding the world hostage.

That's really what it is.

And 27 days ago, Iran had a modern military.

Never in recorded history has a nation's military been so quickly and effectively neutralized.

Operation Epic Fury is not an endless war.

It's a decisive campaign with clear objectives to destroy Iran's offensive military capabilities

and ensure they never obtain a nuclear weapon.

This is stuff for the history books.

This is stuff for legacy.

Mr. President, you are acting now to ensure future generations do not have to live under

the threat of a nuclear armed Iran.

However, you wouldn't know it if you listened to the dishonest hate Trump media as you referenced.

The folks here in the room, these cameras, they have a choice.

You're either informing the American people of the truth or you're not.

Because I hear it from my people every day.

Behind every headline you write, there's a helicopter crew in the air.

And behind every news banner you write, there's a battalion on the move.

And behind every fake news story, there's an F-35 pilot executing a dangerous mission.

My message to the media is get it right.

This actually isn't something new to me.

It may be a young guy, Mr. President, but I'm not a rookie in this realm.

In 2007, I helped lead the surge, the public fight for the Iraq surge.

And watched people stand in the Senate and declare the war is lost before he even started.

Who was that?

It was Harry Reid.

That was the Democrats and the media working hand in glove.

Back then, it was three years into a war.

Now we're three weeks into an operation.

But see, unlike Iraq, this isn't to tie.

This is not parity.

This is not chaos.

This is success, pure American success on plan.

And as the president said, ahead of pace.

Over 10,000 enemy targets destroyed.

Over 140, I think now you're right, Mr. President.

Over 150 naval vessels sunk underground facilities destroyed.

Their defense industrial base in shambles.

And overnight, not only do they not have a Navy, Mr. President,

they no longer have a Navy commander.

IRGC's Navy commander was killed overnight in operation.

So no Navy, no Navy leader.

Now that he's, here's the thing about the media though, if President Trump had not acted,

you'd be screaming, why not?

And now that he has taken decisive action, you're asking, well, why did you?

It's the same old, tired playbook, TDS in your DNA.

But the hard-working God-fearing patriotic Americans out there know better.

And you alluded to this, uh, President Obama's president.

Here's a fact that you don't hear on your networks, but we know.

Many of the Iranian military factories and bases that we're s-

I think I'll wait inside.

The medically-disgrowing we're paid for by the pallets of American cash

that Barack Obama flew into Tehran under the Iran deal.

You might call it an inconvenient truth.

Iran took our money and turned it into weapons and bunkers and ammo.

And now we're destroying those weapons and we're writing, you're writing Mr. President,

that grievous wrong.

And make no mistake, we had to act.

And our objectives are clear, no nukes, no navy, and a complete dismantling of their

missile program and defense industrial base.

And as Marco pointed out that mission and the VP as well has not changed since day one.

Yet, two days ago, they shot two failed missiles on a target of 4,000 kilometers away.

For years, they told the world that their missiles could only range to kilometers.

Surprise.

Yet again, Iran lied.

And to the world, I say London is 4,000 kilometers from Iran.

Washington, D.C., is 3,300 kilometers from Venezuela.

The other country President Trump did something about that partnered for a long time with Iran.

So you're telling us that Iran is not a threat to the world or to the U.S. President Trump

knows better.

And here's what success actually looks like right now.

You mentioned it, Mr. President, 810 warthogs, if you know them, you love them, and Apache

helicopter gunships are flying straight missions inside Iranian airspace and throughout the

state of Harmoos at will.

See, you only send these slow, low flying, close air support platforms when the enemy has

no meaningful air defenses left.

Their presence is proof that Iran's air defenses are gone.

Their command control has shattered their top leaders hiding in underground bunkers, while

their mid-level commanders are being crushed in the field, the morale of their fighters plummeting,

we see that disconnect daily.

We're privately admitting, as you said, Mr. President, very heavy losses.

We know that.

President Trump has given us a clear mission.

Our capabilities are only going up in Iran's are plummeting.

We are here to win, and we're full speed ahead.

So Steve, we appreciate your efforts.

We pray for a deal, and we welcome a deal, and we have the ultimate deal maker to make

it happen.

But in the meantime, as I said yesterday, the Department of War will continue negotiating

with bombs.

War is negotiation by other means.

And finally, I want to thank our credible troops, our pilots, crews, sailors, refuelers,

air defenders, the absolute best of America, the real 1 percent of our country.

This President, President Trump, has your back.

And I know this cabinet craves for you every single day.

We ask the American people to do the same as they continue in this mission.

God bless.

Thank you very much.

It's great.
