JUST IN: Trump Attacks Obama By Name At Iran War Briefing: 'Chose Iran Over Israel'

[0:00] Thank you, sir. [0:01] We'll come back to you. [0:02] Okay, thank you. [0:03] Given that you are now dealing, you say, with a more reasonable, less extreme leadership [0:08] in Iran, what does that mean for the protesters, for the human rights movement in that country [0:13] after this conflict? [0:14] What's your expectation? [0:15] Well, I think it's positive. [0:16] Yeah, if they assume control, if we do something and they assume control, I think it's very [0:20] positive, a big step. [0:22] I don't think you'd see the radicalization that you have seen in the last. [0:27] Look what happened. [0:28] The women are being executed because they're not properly clothed, they say. [0:33] They're not properly clothed and they execute the women. [0:36] They absolutely, they shoot them right on the street. [0:39] No, you have a much different group of people. [0:42] Now I'm not saying we are dealing with them. [0:46] Essentially, they have till 8 o'clock tomorrow night Eastern time, but we are dealing with [0:52] them. [0:53] I think it's going well. [0:54] Mr. Whitcoff is here and J.D.'s involved in the dealing. [0:58] Mr. Whitcoff is sitting right here and I think it's going fine, but we'll have to see. [1:02] You have to understand, we've been dealing with these people for 47 years. [1:07] I'm standing here with a much more powerful Iran as of a month ago, not anymore. [1:14] Right now they are decapitated. [1:16] But I'm standing here a month ago with a much more powerful Iran than it was at any point [1:22] during 47 years. [1:24] This should have been handled by seven presidents, a lot of presidents. [1:30] And those presidents are saying now, every one of them to their friends, we should have done [1:34] this a long time ago. [1:36] So it's not something I like doing. [1:38] It's very dangerous. [1:39] And we're getting them at the height of their strength. [1:43] If I didn't terminate the Barack Hussein Obama Iran nuclear deal, they would have had [1:49] a, don't forget, that was a path to a nuclear weapon, remember this. [1:53] He chose Iran over Israel, pure and simple. [1:58] How Israel can vote for a Democrat is, if you're Jewish in New York City or any place [2:05] else in this country, and how you can vote for a Democrat is unbelievable, because he [2:10] chose Iran, a very hostile Iran. [2:14] Remember when he filled up a 757 with cash, billions of dollars of cash, and he sent it [2:20] over to them, then they gave them tens of billions of dollars. [2:24] He chose Iran over Israel, and really the Arab world, if you look, because, you know, [2:30] the other, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, I mean, you take a look. [2:35] I mean, I can add Kuwait, and I can add Bahrain, and you can add others. [2:39] He chose such an unlikely candidate. [2:44] Nobody could believe it. [2:45] Frankly, if you're going to choose between Iraq and Iran, he should have chosen, he should [2:49] have befriended Iraq. [2:52] He went in the exact opposite direction of all thinking, and he made a terrible mistake. [2:58] But that was a road to a nuclear weapon. [3:02] And when I terminated that, everyone said, oh, he terminated it. [3:06] It was one of the best things we ever did, because he had a road to a nuclear weapon. [3:09] And it was going to, it was a very short-term deal. [3:12] You know, countries don't do 10-year deals. [3:15] Countries do hundreds of years. [3:17] You don't do a 10-year deal. [3:18] For a country, you need, this isn't, you're a landlord and you're renting a store on a [3:23] certain street, and you give somebody a five-year or 10-year lease. [3:26] This is a country. [3:27] It was a short-term deal. [3:29] It was ready to expire. [3:31] I terminated it before it expired, took a lot of heat, and it was one of the best things [3:35] they ever did, because he would have had a nuclear weapon. [3:37] Then he would have had another nuclear weapon, had those beautiful B-2 bombers not gone in eight [3:42] months ago, and obliterated that set. [3:45] And by the way, the word is obliteration. [3:47] CNN said, well, maybe it wasn't complete. [3:50] It was so complete that they still haven't been able to get it. [3:53] It was obliteration. [3:54] But if we didn't hit them, that was a courageous decision, too, because we had all those planes [4:00] flying in at night with very little cover, unbelievable stealth planes. [4:06] They were able to do their job. [4:08] If we didn't do that, Iran would have had a nuclear weapon at a high level, either one [4:14] of those two instances. [4:16] And if they did, in my opinion, I told this to Bibi Netanyahu yesterday, Israel would have [4:23] been extinguished. [4:25] Large portions of the Middle East would have been extinguished, whether it's Saudi Arabia, [4:30] Qatar, UAE, or others. [4:33] And you saw that with thousands of missiles raining down upon them. [4:36] They didn't think they were going to be hit. [4:38] They thought they'd be watching us fight. [4:40] And all of a sudden, UAE got hit by 1,500 missiles. [4:45] He would have taken them out also. [4:47] And they were powerful. [4:49] If I didn't come along and terminate the Obama deal, which was terrible, the Iran nuclear [4:54] deal was a road to a nuclear weapon, a big one, unlimited, legally, I terminated it without [5:02] even much thought. [5:03] It was so easy. [5:05] I terminated that, and then the B-2 bombers. [5:08] And I did one other thing. [5:09] I had killed Qasem Soleimani, who was an evil genius. [5:17] And the reason I did it, I heard he was going to knock out five of our military bases. [5:23] And had he lived, I believe we would be fighting, perhaps, a different Iran right now. [5:31] Because he's never been replaced, you know? [5:36] And I also, I did one other, but this one was not picked up. [5:39] Osama bin Laden. [5:41] If you read my book, I said, you got to take them out one year before the World Trade Center [5:46] came down. [5:47] So I wish you'd read the book.
