We're here 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.479 in Phoenix, Arizona at the Wyre Fi Studios. President Trump 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.800 is at the G seven in France right now, flank 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.800 by Marco Rubio and Howard Lutnik. We're gonna take it 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.880 just briefly here, see what they're talking about, and have 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:33.240 some analysis on the back end. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.040 Could be whatever, what do you have left? 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:41.319 Maybe nothing, but you don't have The Strait will never 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.520 be opened because people that own billion dollar ships. 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.080 His ships goes to billion dollars. 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:52.080 They are like sailing ships, having their ships participate when 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.600 you go up the coast and you go through the 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:59.320 strait and there are rockets flying over your head. They 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.800 want to protect the billion dollar investment. You wouldn't have 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:08.800 oil for maybe years. He's a stupid people, but nobody 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.080 was tough with them, and nobody hit solomon You know, 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.280 when I hit Solomoni, people thought that was the biggest 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.079 thing to happen in the Middle East for fifty years. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.040 That was the biggest event. 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:23.280 He was the he was the boss of Iran and respected, 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.720 but he was a mad genius. He was a genius 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:27.760 the father of. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:28.680 The roadside bomb. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.600 When you see young men and in some cases women, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:38.160 mostly men walking around without legs, without arms, with a 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.160 face that's been blown to smitherings, it's Solomoni ninety ninety 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.480 six point two they say, or something ninety five percent. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:47.079 That was Salomon. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:51.560 He did it, happened to come from Iran, and I 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:52.240 blew him up. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.080 You remember that, I blew him up in the Valley 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:55.480 of Death. 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.679 He got off his plane and we followed him. And 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:04.000 in all fairness, because they've been wonderful to me, Israel, 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:05.280 but they didn't want. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:05.880 To do that attack. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.960 They were all set the night before the attack. Then 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.600 for me, they didn't want to do it, so I 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:10.880 had to. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.079 Make a decision. I made the decision to do it. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.079 But we was a joint venture, as we say in 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.440 the real estate business. There was a joint venture between 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.160 Israel and US. We studied it for a month. We 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.000 knew what plane he was going to be on almost 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.720 a month before. He only traveled on commercial airline as 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.640 the big ones with lots of people, because he knew 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.000 we wouldn't shoot him down. A very smort but we 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.600 knew he was going to be on that plane. Followed him, 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.360 and then Israel in for me that they won't do it, 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.400 and I had to make a decision. I had some 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.560 very good generals and not the ones you see on television, 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.560 very good and I want to thank also Pete Hegseeth 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.720 and General Raisin Kane's phenomenal. 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.120 Okay, these guys are phenomenal. They can't be better. But 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:57.200 I had some good generals. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.560 And I said to him, well, that Israel's not going 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.880 to do it, We're all prepared. Do we do it? 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.960 Do you like doing it? And he says, Sir, if 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.600 you want to do it, we can do it. How well, 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.200 we'll do it just as well or better do it ourselves. 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.960 We don't need anybody. So we took out salmoney. One 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:15.280 of the. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.479 Biggest events to happen the Middle East, maybe ever. But 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.960 they say fifty years, they say one hundred years. I 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.200 was with the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He said, it's 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.599 maybe the biggest event that has ever taken places that 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:30.680 nobody could believe it. 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:32.280 So that's when it started. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.280 It didn't start like three or four or five weeks ago, 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.080 and Obama wouldn't do it. What Obama did was he 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:45.920 did the JCPOA. He loaded up a plane with one billion, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.160 seven hundred million dollars in green cash from banks all 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.600 over Washington. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.160 Maryland and Virginia. They were stripped of all their cash. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.760 He had no caresh should do payrolls. 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.480 It all went into a Boeing seven fifty seven, a 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.440 wonderful plane, and they flew it to Iran and they 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:05.480 gave it out to people. 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.960 They bribed people. They thought they were gonna get it done. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.080 Then they gave billions and billions of dollars after that, 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:13.560 and they got a deal that was a road to 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.640 a nuclear weapon. I get so angry I guess I'm 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.320 allowed to get angry when I watch these the Democrats. 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.520 They talk about it all the time. We had this 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:23.360 steel done. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.120 You had a deal that was going to give them 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.320 legally a nuclear weapon, and if that happened, Israel would 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.800 have been blown away. In an all fairness to Bibatya, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:33.720 who happens to. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.120 Be a good man. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.520 Gets a little excited sometimes, but he happens to be 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.480 a very good man. We've had an amazing partnership. He's 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.160 been an amazing Prime minister. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.200 We have a little dispute over Lebanon and I see 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.840 you can do a little softer touch. 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.440 Maybe you don't have to knock down a building every 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.800 time somebody walks into it. That's from Hezbullah. But it's 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.560 been an amazing partnership. But he will say we're the 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.800 big partner and he's the very small partner, and that's true. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.960 So he came to the country and he begged Barack 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.520 Hussein Obama the president, not to do the jc POA. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.359 He said it could be the end of Israel, and 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.400 it would have been if I didn't come along, and 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.360 Obama didn't listen to him. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.280 Boebe actually went to Congress and pleaded with them. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.640 And he got nowhere, and they had this horrible deal 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:31.800 that was horrible for Israel, horrible for Israel. And that's 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.320 where it stood. And then I came along and I 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.800 terminated that deal. It had very little time left. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:37.960 You know. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.760 It was a short term deal. You know, with countries 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.560 you need hundreds of years. You don't need eight years 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.880 and nine years. This isn't like you signing a Lisa 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.920 on a candy store at the corner. You need hundreds 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.080 of years. This was a short term lease. It expired 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.000 long ago. Had I let it run, it expired, you 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.840 wouldn't have been around, a lot of people wouldn't have 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.640 been around, but Israel would have been to eleminated. I 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.400 think the whole Middle East would have been terminate. You 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.800 saw that when everybody was shocked at all these missiles 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:11.160 they were aimed at these different places. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.920 Uae think of it, Bahrain, Kuwait. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:16.920 They got hit. 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.480 Nobody thought that was even Ni. I didn't think it 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.120 was going to happen. They didn't think it was going 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.000 to happen. They were going to take out the entire 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.600 Middle East, including Israel, And if they had a nuclear weapon, 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.080 they would have used it with it within moments after 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:32.640 getting it. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.440 So I made it very tough for them when I terminated. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:41.360 The Barack Hussein Obama catasaphe jc POA one of the 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.720 worst deals. NAFTA might have been worse, but that was 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.920 worse Economically. It was really dangerous what he did. 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.160 He gave them everything, including a lot of money, which 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:53.040 we don't give them. 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.960 By the way, just in case you have any question, 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.320 we'll be giving this out so you can read it 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:58.800 and you can see and. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.640 It's a memorandum of understanding. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.560 If it doesn't get done in sixty days, it's a 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.120 right we go back to bombing. You know, I don't 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.600 want to do that because it's so good, but we 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.800 might have to because we're never going to let them 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.280 have a nuclear weap it, but they've agreed not to, 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:15.040 and you'll see that. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.680 Very clearly in the agreement. But then the second phase. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.640 Of that was they were building, or they were enriching 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.400 material as they say, I call it nuclear dust. They 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:29.760 were enriching material under granite mountains. Granite being for those 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.959 not in the construction business, granite being a very strongly 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:35.599 strongest stone. 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.280 It's not as pretty as marble, but it's much more. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.480 It's much stronger. It's a lot stronger. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.760 Like the new granite I put on the stairs of 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.839 the White House going to the Oval office to black 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.720 ground it. It's rated one million years plus. No marble's 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.360 rated that. Marble's rated one hundred years if it's outside. 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.439 So these are granite mountains. 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.600 And the B twos came along and they hit those 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.960 air shafts in the dark at one o'clock in the 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:05.920 morning with no moon. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.360 They had a beam going right up everywhere. 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.720 Those guys did a job, and then They were criticized 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:15.079 by certain members of the press like CNN for possibly 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:19.480 not doing that much damage, and it turned out that 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.120 the damage was far ger. Those mountains collapsed right on 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.319 top of everything. Nobody's going to get that for a 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:25.880 long time unless we want to get it. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.000 We will get it, but we're the only ones that can. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:30.880 And they say, China has the equipment to get it, 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.680 and we have the equipment to get it, and it's 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.040 actually not valuable, not a lot of value, but would 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.440 like to get it psychologically, but nobody's touching it. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.720 We also have cameras. That's what Space Force is. We 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.679 have the best. We have the greatest. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.760 Military in the world, by the way, but I'm proud 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.960 of Space Force because I started it. We have Space 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.640 Force cameras on every single door, every well, there are 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.320 no doors that've been pretty well shattered, but every area 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:55.600 of that. 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.240 If somebody walks in and he's got a badge with his. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:03.800 Name on it, Mohammed something, which is about a fifty 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.040 to fifty guess Mohammed something, they can tell the name, 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:09.679 they can give you a serial number. 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:10.920 We can see things. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.360 You wouldn't believe the quality of the. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.360 Stuff that we have that's why we've been so successful. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.680 That's why our blockade will go down to the annals 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.120 of history as being unbelievable. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:22.160 Nobody's ever seen. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.880 A blockade like that, just it's like a steel wall. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:30.400 So what happened is we then terminated that and I 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.080 call it the nuclear. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.440 Dust and that was the end of that. But if 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:35.840 we didn't hit that with the B two. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.120 Bombers, or if it wasn't successful, they would have had 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.520 a nuclear weapon, a nuclear bomb at a very high level, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.160 not the highest, but it would have been a very 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.760 high level. We have much bigger, but we hope that 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:49.440 we're never going to have to use it. We have 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:54.280 the most, Russia has second, China is very far. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.840 Behind but going to catch up. Unfortunately, you know they're 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:57.480 catching up. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:02.320 But we have the most, the most powerful, but we 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.679 also have the most, but Russia is not far behind. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.400 And then you have China in third place, but they're 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.840 within five years they'll be probably even. And we ought 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.480 to make a d nuclearization deal would be so great. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.880 We don't need all of that. We don't need to 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.640 be able to blow up the whole world three hundred 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.280 times over. It's terrible, really, if we could do a 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:26.000 d nuke deal. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.720 I love it. And one of those two is very 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.720 willing to do it. I will tell you that the 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.000 other one is less willing to do it. And you 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:35.520 need all of them. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.720 So the deal we reached with Hran on Sunday, we'll 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.840 be signed shortly tomorrow, maybe the next day. I think 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.839 subject deals, my whole life is all about deals. That's 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.760 all I ever did is make deals, and crazy things 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:51.560 happen with deals. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:57.400 I've gone into deals where it's a guarantee, no way, 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.880 it can not be signed, and it doesn't get it. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.319 And I've gone into deals that you have no chance 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.880 of making and they go leg Now think so, but 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.000 we're going to most likely sign a deal. They want 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:14.240 to sign a deal, and they've been acting very appropriately. 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:18.400 They took a big two hits last week. Those were 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.720 two very big hits. So importantly, around has agreed that 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.680 they will neither produce nor procure a nuclear weapon. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.239 Neither produce because. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.760 Originally they said, they talk about that, that they will 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.080 not develop a nuclear weapon. And some people found it okay, 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.680 these guys didn't do no fairness, but some people, but 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.400 I didn't like it, said it won't develop. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.360 I said, what happens if they should buy. I don't know. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:45.199 It's very dangerous for somebody to sell because whoever sells 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.839 them a nuclear weapon will get nuked themselves. If they 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.719 sold a nuclear weapons, only a few they could do it, 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.560 they would be nuked. They wouldn't have that country loan. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.480 So it's a very dangerous thing for somebody to do. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:02.000 But I wanted it in there. So it's develop procure 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:07.440 by anything, and you'll see that when you see the agreement. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.960 But it's appropriate that we released the agreement, and we 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.960 did send a copy to Israel. By the way, they've 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:13.760 been a good partner. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.360 Again, I think they could do better with respect to Hesbeulah. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.640 I'm not saying they shouldn't protect themselves. I'm saying when 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.479 two drones are shot into the desert and drop harmlessly, 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.760 you don't have to knock down buildings in Beirut. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.440 They could behave better and frankly, they could do a 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.840 better job. I love them as a partner. 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.320 That were terrific, but they could do a much better 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.440 job with Hesbelah. On that, I don't think they're doing well, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:47.640 and I feel. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.959 Very bad for President Trump is continuing at the G seven, 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.679 but we got stuff we got to talk about here. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.199 He's making some great points though that. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.000 Are basically saying what we were going. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.680 Yeah, he's he's doing our open for us. So we 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.240 wanted to let that roll. And really the point is, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.440 and the question that we keep getting asked, and often 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.800 in good faith, by the way, is this Iran deal 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.600 the new JCPOA two point zero? Is it just like that. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.319 I had somebody that was texting me yesterday. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.080 Say, tell people with the ja JCPOA. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:22.080 Sorry. JCPOA was the original sort of nuke deal to 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.800 try and get around to stop their nuclear program that Obama, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:29.720 Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry oversaw, which involved a frontloaded 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.120 deal filled with pallets of cash that we airlifted over 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.120 to Iran right to bribe them to get them to 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.360 do what we wanted to. And so a lot of 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.080 people have been texting me in good faith, genuinely. I 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.400 want to love this deal. I want to be supportive, 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.280 but it just feels like the JCPOA two point zero, 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.480 and I want to explain why that's not true. First 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.640 of all, it's not front loaded, so there's no pallets 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.640 of cash, there's no American money, not one red cent 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.240 of American money, But there are financial incentives. People hear 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.240 that and they go, oh, it's just like the JCPOA. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:06.040 My question to them would be what other levers and 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.440 mechanisms does the world run on. There's only so many 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:13.400 things you can offer as an incentive for good behavior, because, 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.880 let's guess what. In a deal, both sides need to 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.520 feel like they're getting something worthwhile if you're gonna make 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.320 a deal, that's what happens now. I think there is 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.560 an old paradigm when it comes to treaties like the 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:29.320 Treaty of Versailles or whatever, where where you one side 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.880 totally concedes defeat and the other says I'm victorious completely. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.960 That's not the paradigm that President Trump is using. President 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.120 Trump is using a paradigm of a businessman who's trying 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.560 to make deals that are mutually beneficial. Yes, but we 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.920 get what we want, and what do we want. We 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.400 want a denuclearized Iran. We want them not to have 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.240 a nuke so they can blow up Israel, they blow 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.720 up the Middle East, or blow up Europe. Okay, are 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:54.360 you trying to. 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:59.320 Well, it's exactly what you say, which is, oh, there 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.360 was a lot of frustration anger when this conflict began 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.560 because people were saying President Trump promised he would never 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.360 get in a war, and people pointed out who were 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.240 more in favor of the war, said no, he always 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.800 said Iran will not get a nuclear weapon, and that's 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.160 what he'd said for years, really going back even into 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:16.720 the nineties. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:21.120 He was saying that shouldn't happen. And then now we're going. 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.280 Through the reverse of this where people are angry that 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.240 he hasn't overthrown the mullas he hasn't done regime change 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.440 in Iran, and we should ariign people. President Trump's promise 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.640 was Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. You and 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.480 I were discussing before the show. At the start of 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.640 his term, President Trump was touring the Middle East and 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.200 he was pointing out, we have learned from the past. 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.120 We're not trying to remake. Should every government. We should 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.840 play that clip it here, I gotta find it. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.880 You threw me off my groove because I wasn't ready 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:53.400 to play that clip. But we do have that clip 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.640 and we should play it. This is yeah from right. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.840 At the beginning of Trump two point zero, he tours 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.120 the Middle East and he he issued a speech that 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:03.960 I think Will is an all timer. I think it's 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:05.439 going to go down as an all timer, but it 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.200 sets the stage for some of the things he's talking 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:08.960 about Right now. It's not twenty nine. 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.560 So a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.439 conflicts of tired divisions of the past and forging a 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.680 future where the Middle East is defined by commerce not chaos, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.479 where it exports technology not terrorism, and where people of 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:30.639 different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.600 bombing each other out of existence. The birth of a 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.199 modern Middle East has been brought by the people of 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:39.359 the region themselves. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:40.960 In the end, the so called. 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.560 Nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built, and 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:51.400 the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.880 not even understand themselves. East prosperity and progress ultimately came 0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:01.320 not from a radical rejection of your heritage, from embracing 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:02.560 your national tradition. 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.560 So that speech was important for many reasons. But it 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.159 was the death knell of the neocons. Okay, that was 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.320 Trump saying we are not going to be a neocon 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:15.040 foreign policy movement anymore. And that was a good thing. Okay, 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:16.960 So now you might be wondering. But yeah, but he 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.840 attacked Iran well. To Blake's point, he always said Iran 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:22.760 will not have a nuclear weapon. Remember he took out 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.120 Solomoni and Trump one point zero, Okay, who was basically 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.160 the chief architect of terrorism. Now, I was skeptical about 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.199 these strikes. As a matter of fact, I was not 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.919 pro the strikes in Iran. But much like Charlie, I 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.800 chose to say Trump has never gotten US embroiled in 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.480 a quagmire forever war in the Middle East. And I 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.879 don't think that's his objective right now. He's trying to 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:49.479 achieve the objective of no nukes, no weapons, to destroy 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.640 the Middle East, destroy Israel, destroy Europe. And he's achieved 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.000 that goal ostensibly in theory. They're moving towards that goal. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.200 And here's the big difference. And President Trump kind of 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.320 hinted at this. Actually, I think he hit the nail 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.000 on the head in one of his earlier interviews today 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.239 at the G seven. This is the big difference with 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.040 this deal and the JCPOA. No, it's not front loader. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.560 There's no pallets of cash, there's no American money. That's true, 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.639 But more fundamentally, the big difference between this deal and 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:25.400 the JCPOA is President Trump himself. St. Twenty six, Chuene. 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:29.719 Said, one point seven billion and hundreds of millions of dollars. 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:31.480 They tried to bribe their way out of it. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:33.000 And you know what. 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:36.600 The Iranians did. They laughed at Obama and they said 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.720 he's a stupid son of Okay, thank you very much. 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:43.360 Okay, thank you very much. Yeah. 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.000 And it was actually we were letting him go here 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.480 in this first segment because he was making that point 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.960 for us repeatedly. I thought it was very interesting. He 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:55.040 was really going into the details about the strike that 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.399 killed the previous Supreme Leader. And I feel like the 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.560
