ANDREW KOLVET (HOST): So we're obviously getting a lot of folks ready over there. Thousands of US troops are getting stationed and ready to go. And I just want to be very clear where I stand, where I believe Blake stands, where I think Turning Point stands, frankly, is we give President Trump a lot of trust, a lot of patience when it comes to this. He's proven that he doesn't do quagmires. He doesn't do forever wars. And we've been willing to sort of, you know, be a part of this — watch, wait, understand that waiting is part of this game and to see how this plays out. And we hope for the best. We pray for our troops. But, really, boots on the ground is a line we don't want to cross. We are not supportive of boots on the ground, full stop.
BLAKE NEFF (HOST): And as we've warned, whatever you make of the merits of the conflict itself, it is likely to be politically disastrous if it continues long term.
KOLVET: Yes.
NEFF: And we want to make that clear, especially because I think there's a lot of people who will just be determined to sell anything the president does and say, oh, it's really popular. Everyone loves it. And that's not a responsible position to take. If you look at the numbers, this is probably the most skeptical the public has been about any conflict the United States has ever entered.
KOLVET: And we've been honest. We've never — we've not been frothing at the mouth. Some of you got mad at us in the emails that we haven't been more, I guess, you know, enthusiastic in our support. What we're saying is we don't like war. We hate it, actually. Doesn't mean that this wasn't the best national security decision that the president could have made. I'm not in the room. I don't know the intel.
But we do not want boots on the ground. We do not want a quagmire. We do not want this thing to get out of control. And it does seem like President Trump is signaling that things are getting better. He put out a Truth this morning. I don't know if this was to encourage the markets. You know, a lot of people are skeptical sometimes about these Truths.
