HAROLD FORD, JR. (CO-HOST): If they can still launch a ballistic missile and still attack an Apache helicopter, maybe they're not as weakened as we think, which again is why I believe that the military attacks on our part should not stop as we go through these negotiations because I think it puts even more pressure on them and gives us more leverage in those negotiations.
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Yeah, the president has indicated that he does not want to resume major combat operations. He said if we did do that, you'd have the strait closed for another two to three to four months. And he doesn't want that. And he keeps saying we're very close, we're days away, and I don't know what that means. We've heard that for a very long time. I mean, oil has gone down. It was closed at I think 89 today, but gas prices are very high and there's a lot of people in the administration that I think would like to see the job finished and others that think, you know, we're pretty close but what do we know?
