Yeah, I mean, look, this war is illegal. It's unjustifiable. It is dumb and it is not working. Right? We have not achieved, there were no aims going in. And all that's happened is we've enabled the Iranian regime to put a choke on one of the world's most important and sensitive energy through lines. And we're paying for it at the pump and at the grocery store. So we've got to explore all the mechanisms that we can to put an end to this war, to force an end to the war. And I think there's a moment here, sometimes if you can go right through the front door, maybe go through the front door before you go through the back door. And I think we're so used to going through the back door, but the American public, they rendered a very clear judgment on this war and the way it's being handled. And I think there's a world right now where we put massive amounts of pressure on this administration to close this thing out, because it's not working.
