00:00And the Lebanese Armed Forces, how do you feel about their ability at this point to secure Lebanon, internally and externally?
00:06They have every ability to do so.
00:08I mean, the United States has provided support, training, and equipment for decades.
00:13We continue to do so.
00:14We've even added military advisors on the ground in Lebanon.
00:17It is not a capacity.
00:18So to those who say Hezbollah is needed to protect us, the response would be.
00:21Crazy.
00:22Right?
00:22No, the LAF can do it.
00:23And by the way, if we've been providing assistance for several decades and they couldn't do it, then there's a problem with their U.S. assistance.
00:30So I've never believed the argument that they can't do it.
00:33They have the capability.
00:34They just need the political will.
