agree with the admiral? >> i think is actually right that iran is pulled in by perceived weakness and they backed down when faced with strength and i think that's why you saw them back down when we were faced with intelligence a few months ago that they were about to strike americans in the region. that the sent an aircraft carrier, a bomber, the iranians back down. what i most encouraged about is consistent reports that iran is no longer able to fund the groups and others, they can't make payroll and they're having to pull back their operations in syria and across the region the regime is in desperate financial straits, they see it as an ex-potential threat of the concert try to create a crisis both in the domestic populace and galvanize the community to try to back down. i encourage the president to keep the pressure, it's working. >> mike: congressman michael watson john young. thank you so much.
