BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): President speaking to someone in Iran, guys, every day, and they don't want to give it their nuclear program still. So, if you read The New York Times, you read these things, you would think that we're the ones who got bombed. You would think that we're the ones who have our oil and gas blockaded. I know — it's almost like they're cheerleading for the other point of view like that idiot chancellor over in Germany who thought it was a good idea to say we're being humiliated as a country, which is something you'd expect some rhetoric to come out of Iran like that, not from a so-called NATO ally.

LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): Yeah and I wish the talking point of that the strait was open before the conflict, people got to stop doing it. It was a beautiful day the morning of 9/11, it was sunny, shiny. But when you are at war, you are at war. So this is one of the levers the president is using, Ainsley.
