Newsmax's Greg Kelly on potential US attack on Iran: “A very well-informed person told me” it will happen Friday “after Wall Street closes”
Kelly: “I also don't think we need to have a special speech from President Trump convincing us that this is a good idea. That's what a lot of fake members of Congress are demanding.”

GREG KELLY (HOST): Could be any minute now that we strike Iran. A very well-informed person told me that it's going to happen tomorrow after Wall Street closes. About, what, 4:00 or so in the afternoon? Why that matters, I don't know, strategery, maybe. We have a lot of planes and material over in the region, right? Aircraft carriers galore. They say it's like the biggest armada since we invaded Iraq.
...
KELLY: All right. That's actually -- I think this is an information campaign. There have been plenty of times since 2003 where we've had two aircraft carrier groups in the Persian Gulf or around the Persian Gulf. It happened rather routinely there for a while. It's just -- it's actually -- we used to have a big military footprint in the Persian Gulf. And from time to time -- I just -- this is not necessarily the biggest armada ever. Maybe this is -- or since 2003. Maybe this is part of pressuring the mullahs.
And I'd like this thing to go away. If we don't have to bomb, great.
I also don't think we need to have a special speech from President Trump convincing us that this is a good idea. That's what a lot of fake members of Congress are demanding.
