In any event, it's like to me it's kind of annoying to even debate it [“recent scrutiny of Hegseth over a report that the military carried out a likely illegal follow-up strike to kill survivors of an initial attack in the Caribbean”]. I do think our soldiers and, you know, all armed forces should not commit war crimes. Definitely on team, don't commit a war crime. But I also feel like I object to even the scrutiny of this event because it's all manufactured. It's only being done to retroactively justify this, you know, Seditious Six and their — that's what Hegseth is calling them — and their video which was based on nothing. They're just now digging. It's a fishing expedition and it does feel a little, you know, Stalin's right-hand man-eqsue like, "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime."

That's how it feels to me, so I'm really not that into it, nor do I really care that we're killing the drug boat guys trying to kill my kids and yours right now by bringing their fentanyl to the United States to try to get our kids when they go to college with, you know, some drug in some moment of weakness where they think they're taking a Xanax like what happened to poor Eric Bowling's child, and instead it's laced with fentanyl.

So, I really do kind of not only want to see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so that they lose a limb and bleed out a little — like I'm really having a difficult time ginning up sympathy for these guys who 10 seconds earlier almost got taken out by the initial bomb, but because they managed to get ejected, you know, a little too soon had to be taken out in the water. I realize legally it may make a difference, but truly, Mark, this is a tough case to really gin up the sympathies of the American people.
