Graham: Trump, don't let them drag this out

[0:00] I WANT TO GO DOWN THE TWO [0:03] ROADS I WENT WITH GENERAL [0:05] KEANE AND GET YOUR PERSPECTIVE [0:07] ON IT. [0:08] I FEEL A LOT BETTER WITH MY [0:11] UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EXACTLY [0:14] THIS BLOCKADE INSISTS OF. [0:17] IT BASICALLY MEANS THE IRAN IS [0:20] NOT GOING TO HAVE AN ECONOMY. [0:23] THAT IS THE ENTIRETY OF THEIR [0:25] ECONOMY. [0:26] THERE IS GOING TO BE NO WAY THAT [0:29] OIL IS GOING TO BE EXPORTED OUT [0:32] OF IRAN WITH AMERICA'S NAVY [0:34] WAITING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE [0:36] STRAIGHT AND THEY ARE NOT GOING [0:38] TO ALLOW ANY SHIP TO PASS [0:39] THROUGH. [0:40] THAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE FAIRLY [0:43] LOW RISK FOR OUR MILITARY WHICH [0:45] IS OF THE UPMOST IMPORTANCE TO [0:47] ME. [0:48] I WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON [0:50] THAT. [0:51] IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE HAS [0:53] TO REALLY BE AN END TO IT AND [0:55] THE REST OF THE CONFLICT CAN END [0:57] AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. [0:58] THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS HERE [1:00] THAT REALLY MATTER AND GENERAL [1:01] KEENE IS SUCH A BRIGHT MAN. [1:02] WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM. [1:04] NUMBER ONE, WHEN THIS THING IS [1:05] OVER, IRAN CANNOT CONTROL THE [1:06] STRAIGHT OF HARMUZ. [1:07] THEY CAN NEVER STOP [1:09] INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AGAIN [1:10] AND CHARGE A TOLL. [1:11] THAT WOULD BE CHAOS. [1:12] SO THAT IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE [1:14] ITEM. [1:15] SO WHAT ARE WE DOING? [1:16] WE ARE BLOCKING THE PORTS IN [1:18] IRAN, NOT THE ENTIRE GULF, [1:20] WHERE THEY GET OIL AND GAS [1:21] SHIPMENTS. [1:22] WITHOUT OIL AND GAS MONEY, [1:24] IRAN HAS NO ECONOMY. [1:25] IT'S NOT A DIVERSIFIED ECONOMY. [1:27] ALL THEIR MONEY COMES FROM OIL [1:29] AND GAS SALES. [1:30] SO IF YOU CAN STOP SHIPS FROM [1:32] GOING IN AND OUT OF IRAN WITH [1:34] OIL AND GAS, THEN YOU DESTROY [1:35] THEIR ECONOMY. [1:36] HOW DO YOU PRODUCE OIL AND GAS [1:37] IN IRAN? [1:38] IT'S ALL ON ONE ISLAND CALLED [1:42] CARG ISLAND. [1:43] THE ABILITY TO MAKE OIL AND GAS [1:45] AND TURN IT INTO A COMMODITY TO [1:47] SELL IS ON A SINGLE ISLAND. [1:49] IF YOU CONTROL THAT ISLAND, [1:51] YOU CONTROL THEIR ECONOMY. [1:52] THERE ARE ABOUT 1,000 POUNDS OF [1:55] HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM IN IRAN [1:57] THAT COULD BE, AS GENERAL KEENE [1:58] SAID, MAKE A DIRTY BOMB OR 8 TO [2:00] 10 NUCLEAR WEAPONS IF IT WENT [2:02] TO 90. [2:03] WE CAN'T END THIS WITHOUT [2:04] CONTROLLING THAT. [2:05] WE HAVE TO CONTROL THE [2:06] HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM UNDER [2:08] OUR CONTROL. [2:09] WE HAVE TO GET THE 900 POUNDS OF [2:12] HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM UNDER [2:13] OUR CONTROL. [2:14] NO MORATORY ON ENRICHMENT. [2:16] THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA. [2:18] THEY CAN ENRICH. [2:20] THEIR HOMICIDAL MANIACS HAVE [2:22] BEEN TRYING TO BUILD A BOMB. [2:23] THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE [2:25] 60% URANIUM. [2:26] HOW DO YOU GET THAT? [2:27] YOU CHEAT. [2:28] 20 NATIONS HAVE NUCLEAR POWER [2:30] BUT THEY DON'T ENRICH. [2:32] THEY GET THEIR FUEL RODS FROM [2:33] OTHER NATIONS. [2:34] WE COULD DO THAT FOR IRAN. [2:36] THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO [2:38] ENRICHMENT. [2:39] THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO [2:40] ENRICHMENT. [2:41] NON-NEGOTIABLE. [2:42] IF YOU GIVE THEM A MORATORIUM [2:44] THEY WILL GO RIGHT BACK AT IT. [2:46] THE LAST THING IS THEIR [2:48] BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAM, [2:49] THEIR SUPPORT FOR TERRORISM, [2:50] AND THEIR PATHWAY TO A NUCLEAR [2:51] BOMB HAVE TO ALL BE SHUT DOWN. [2:53] WE ARE INSIDE THE 10-YARD LINE. [2:55] WE MAY NEED TO FINISH THIS THING [2:56] UP. [2:57] HOW DOES THIS END? [2:58] WE CONTROL THE STRAITS. [3:00] WE CONTROL THE 900 POUNDS OF [3:03] WEAPONS, URANIUM, HIGHLY ENRICHED [3:04] INFLATION. [3:05] WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO [3:08] PIVOT TO PEACE. [3:09] WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PIVOT TO [3:11] PEACE. [3:12] WHAT IS WINNING WHEN IRAN CAN NO [3:14] LONGER DESTROY THE ABILITY OF [3:16] SAUDI ARABIA AND ISRAEL TO [3:17] MAKE PEACE? [3:18] THE BIGGEST CHANGE IN 2000 YEARS [3:20] WOULD BE SAUDI ARABIA [3:22] RECOGNIZING THE JEWISH STATE. [3:24] THE CENTER OF ISLAM RECOGNIZING [3:26] THE ONE AND ONLY JEWISH STATE [3:28] MAKING PEACE WITH ISRAEL. [3:29] THEY TRIED THAT BEFORE AND IRAN [3:31] STOPPED IT THROUGH THE OCTOBER [3:33] ISRAEL. [3:34] I THINK WE CAN HAVE A PEACE [3:36] DEAL BETWEEN SAUDI ARABIA AND [3:39] ISRAEL THAT WILL CHANGE THE [3:40] MID-EAST FOREVER. [3:41] STOPP MARKET WILL GO UP, OIL [3:43] PRICES WILL GO DOWN AND IT WILL [3:45] BE A SEA CHANGE IN THE WAY THE [3:47] MID-EAST OPERATES. [3:48] ONE CONDITION, IRAN HAS TO BE [3:50] PUT IN A BOX AND KEPT IN A BOX [3:52] TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. [3:53] THAT IS MY END STATE. [3:55] PEACE WITH SAUDI ARABIA AND [3:57] ISRAEL THROUGH CONTAINING THE [3:58] OCTOBER ISRAEL. [3:59] IT WILL FALL. [4:00] REGIME CHANGE IS NOT THE GOAL [4:01] FOR THE MOMENT. [4:03] HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE THAT IT [4:06] IS SO PAINFUL ECONOMICALLY FOR [4:08] IRAN THAT THEY REALIZE THAT [4:10] THEY'RE EITHER GOING TO LOSE [4:12] CARG ISLAND AND ANY ABILITY TO [4:14] HAVE AN ECONOMY AND IN THE END [4:16] THEY'LL LOSE THEIR NUCLEAR [4:17] MATERIAL. [4:18] HOW LONG IS THAT GOING TO TAKE? [4:19] WELL, THESE ARE KAMIKAZE'S IN [4:21] A WAY. [4:22] HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE KAMIKAZE'S? [4:24] YOU DON'T TALK TO THEM. [4:25] YOU MAKE SURE THEY DON'T GET IN [4:27] THE PLANE AND HIT THE AIRCRAFT [4:28] CARRIER. [4:29] THESE ARE RELIGIOUS NAZIS. [4:30] THEY WANT TO PURIFY ISLAM, [4:32] DESTROY THE JEWISH STATE AND [4:34] COME AFTER US CHRISTIANS AS [4:35] INFIDELS. [4:36] THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ORGANIZED. [4:38] THAT'S THEIR REASON FOR LIVING. [4:40] THE REASON FOR LIVING IS TO DIE. [4:42] THEY WANT TO DIE AT MARTARDS' [4:43] DEATH. [4:44] THEY WANT TO BRING BACK THE [4:46] MISSING MAHDI, THE 12TH IMAM, [4:48] THEIR VIEW, THEIR REGIME, THEY [4:50] WANT TO TAKE BACK AND SAVE THE [4:51] WORLD IN THEIR VIEW ONLY WITH [4:52] CHAOS. [4:53] SO THEIR WHOLE REGIME IS [4:55] DESIGNED TO BRING ABOUT THE END [4:57] TIMES UNDER THE SHIIA RELIGION [4:59] WHERE THIS GUY HAS BEEN MISSING [5:01] FOR 1,000 YEARS. [5:02] COMES BACK, YOU KNOW, HE'S SORT [5:04] OF THEIR MESSIAH AND THEY TAKE [5:05] OVER THE WORLD. [5:06] THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO [5:07] ACCOMPLISH. [5:08] THEY'RE NOT NORMAL. [5:09] THEY'RE NOT RATIONAL. [5:10] THE NAZIS WANTED TO KILL THE [5:11] JEWS. [5:12] NOBODY BELIEVED THEM. [5:13] THEY SHOULD HAVE. [5:15] NOBODY BELIEVED THEIR VIEW. [5:18] THEY WANTED TO KILL THE [5:19] NUCLEAR WEAPON. [5:20] THEY WOULD USE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. [5:22] THEY DESTROY ISRAEL AND NEW YORK [5:23] MINUTE. [5:24] TO THE POPE, YOU'RE A GOOD HOLY [5:25] MAN. [5:26] YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE EVIL OF [5:27] IRAN. [5:28] YOU'RE MISCALCULATING HERE, POPE. [5:30] THEY KILL 45,000 OF THEIR OWN [5:31] PEOPLE WHO DEMANDED A BETTER LIFE, [5:33] SHOT THEM DOWN LIKE DOGS. [5:34] BEAT A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL TO [5:36] DEATH BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WEAR THE [5:38] SCARF RIGHT ON A BUS. [5:40] YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE [5:41] NUCLEAR WEAPONS. [5:42] YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE [5:43] NUCLEAR WEAPONS. [5:44] YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE [5:45] RELIGIOUS NAZIS AND THE [5:46] CATHOLIC CHURCH. [5:47] GOD BLESS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. [5:48] IN THE 30s, YOU DIDN'T REALLY [5:50] GET HITLER. [5:51] TO THE POPE, YOU REALLY DON'T [5:53] GET THIS RELIGIOUS NAZI REGIME, [5:55] THE AYATOLA AND HIS HENCHMEN. [5:56] THEY ARE EVIL. [5:57] THEY WILL KILL ALL THE JEWS IF WE [5:59] LET THEM. [6:00] AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE, ONE [6:01] HOLOCAUST IS ENOUGH. [6:02] ISRAEL IS GOING TO FIGHT TO THE [6:03] LAST MAN TO MAKE SURE THAT [6:10] NUCLEAR WEAPONS. [6:11] IF YOU DON'T GET THAT, IT'S [6:13] LIKE MISSING HITLER. [6:14] DONALD TRUMP, YOU SAVE THE [6:16] WORLD FROM A NIGHTMARE. [6:18] NUCLEAR ARMED IRAN IN THE HANDS [6:20] OF RELIGIOUS NUCLEAR WEAPONS [6:22] WHICH THEY WOULD USE. [6:23] THE POPE, YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, [6:25] BUT YOU GOT THIS ALL WRONG. [6:27] TRUMP IS DOING A GOOD THING, [6:28] NOT A BAD THING. [6:29] YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TALK THE [6:31] AYATOLA OUT OF GIVING UP HIS [6:32] NUKES. [6:33] YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE HIM [6:36] GIVE UP HIS NUKES. [6:37] IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF [6:38] PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS TO END [6:39] HE WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO [6:42] TAKE AWAY ANY POSSIBILITY THEY [6:43] COULD EVER MAKE MONEY IN THE [6:44] NEAR FUTURE. [6:45] ABSOLUTELY. [6:46] SO THEIR DESTINY IS IN THEIR [6:47] HANDS. [6:48] THEY HAVEN'T MADE VERY GOOD [6:49] DECISIONS UP TO THIS POINT. [6:50] I'D ADVISE THE IRANIANS WHOEVER [6:52] HAPPEN TO BE IN CHARGE, THEY [6:54] LIKE TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE [6:55] TO SAY, AND I WILL GIVE THEM [6:57] THIS WARNING. [6:58] YOU DON'T HAVE VERY LONG. [7:00] IT'S ABOUT TO ALL COME TO A [7:02] CRASHING END. [7:03] ONE LAST POINT. [7:04] DON'T DRAG THIS OUT, PRESIDENT [7:05] TRUMP. [7:06] THEY'VE HAD PLENTY OF TIME. [7:07] THEY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. [7:09] DON'T LET THEM DRAG THIS OUT. [7:10] THAT WOULD BE A BAD OUTCOME. [7:13] THANK YOU.
