BLITZER: How do you explain the disconnect between what the president says and how Americans feel according to almost all of these most recent polls?

The Strait of Hormuz was this generation’s Pearl Harbor?

Rep. Carlos Gimenez: "For a war that's been going on for so long, these are extraordinarily low casualty numbers, you know? I don't want to downplay the casualties, but that's just the facts. You have to commend the Dept of War for conducting this war in the safest manner… pic.twitter.com/C6CEzza7Px

LIEU: That number is wrong. It's actually 482. It's not surprising to me you didn't know the answer to that.
