America should never be led around by any other nation. It should always be about America's interest, our national

00:00:06

security interest. We should never ever be bullied as maybe President Trump was by any other world leader.

>> Why did he do it? >> First, Rubio went out and said he did it because if we didn't move, then

00:00:19

Netanyahu was going to move and was going to force our hand. Then they walked it back. He said seven or eight

00:00:26

months ago that um they destroyed their nuclear capabilities and then came back seven or eight months later and said we

00:00:34

had to go in because we had to destroy their nuclear capabilities. I don't know. Then they said it was about regime

00:00:40

change. Well great. I mean we went from like an 80 something year old Ayatollah to a 60some year old Ayatollah who by

00:00:46

all accounts um seems to be far more hardline. I'd hardly call that successful regime change. So to me it is

00:00:55

hard to I'm think you've seen I've been trying to be very forthright in

00:00:58

answering your questions. I don't know how you answer that question because the

00:01:03

president never answered that question. He never sat >> in the Oval Office and looked the

00:01:10

American people in the eye and said this is why we're going in. And you know

00:01:13

what? This isn't semantics. This isn't politics. If you don't know why you're

00:01:18

going in, you don't know how the hell to get
