1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: This is Hugh hewittt for townhall dot com. President Trump

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: is on the cusp of a historic achievement. If the

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: President oversees the toppling of the ruling regime of the

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Islamic Republic of Iran, his achievements will rank with the

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: greatest of those of any post World War II president.

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: That's just an objective fact. If you don't understand that fact,

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: you have not been paying attention for more than forty years.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Iran is as evil a regime as exists on the planet.

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: It is run by religious fanatics with a peculiar theology

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: rooted in end time deschatology and resistance up to and

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: especially including martyrdom. It cannot be allowed to have weapons

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: of mass destruction or even an ourshol of conventional weapons

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: sufficient to deter normal regimes from stopping it from obtaining WMD,

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: especially obtaining nuclear weapons. The result needed in the war

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: has not yet been achieved, but if President Trump delivers

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: it only as critics incapable of basic objectivity will deny

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: the significance of his order to take down the regime

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: that has been deviled the world for almost a half century.
