To President Trump, you have set the conditions to change the Middle East unlike anybody in a thousand years.

If the Ayatollah goes and the people let the people take him down with our help, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and all the terror proxies fall.

Saudi Arabia will get back to the table trying to normalize with Israel.

The entire Middle East will be a new place. The world will be a lot better.

Follow through, Mr. President. You've got this guy (Khamenei) on the ropes. He's a liar. He's a snake.

They're dedicated to the destruction of mankind as we know it. Don't blink. Finish the job.

And to all those who counsel President Trump, of course, there's a risk moving forward. We can have some troops hit by missiles, but we're in a good spot to protect our people.

If you back off now after all this bluster and try to get some deal about the nuclear program that they will not honor, it will be a missed opportunity for the ages. It will haunt America for decades.

"Keep protesting. Help is on the way" has to have meaning. I have all the confidence in President Trump that he's going to follow through.

The people are out in the streets because they believe in President Trump.

If we can take this Ayatollah down by backing the people who want to take him down, it'll be the biggest accomplishment since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Mr. President, you've got him on the ropes. Take him out.

Wow! Gavin Newscum just dropped out of the Presidential Race!!!

We've got our people working on it right now. I don't want to oversell how much time it will take. We're digging in.

We're going to be in full compliance with that executive order. So there will be more coming on that as far as the process of what we'll do.

I don't have a time frame for you yet, but stand by. We'll get it for you.

We'll see [if aliens exist]. I get to do the review and find out along with you.

There are many dictatorships in the world. Some seal themselves off within their own borders, trying to block any outside influence of freedom. And others do not recognize borders at all and actively try to destroy the freedom of their neighbors, entire regions, and sometimes even the whole world.

When we deal with Russia, we face the second type of threat. It's a mentality, an unstable dictatorship that cannot accept that in Europe every life matters, human rights are important, and nations can be protected, whether they are big or small.

Putin cannot accept one simple thing: that somewhere people can live differently and enjoy a life that is not the one he prefers. That is why he has been consistently trying to break someone — not just now, not just for four years, but throughout his entire time in power.

He is war itself, yes, and anyone who supports Putin cannot fail to understand that they are choosing war.

We all together should have done more with stricter sanctions in response to Russian invasion of Crimea.

There is a firewall. It is about preventing them from gaining power.

The most important critique I have on the AFD is not about the political position on one or the other topic. This is open to debate in the democracy.

My criticism is that they are anti-pluralistic.

By anti-pluralistic, I mean that they do not accept that all citizens are part of the “we.” They create a version of “we” that excludes others.

A party in a democracy must support democracy. Democracy means pluralism. It means you cannot exclude people from the “we” that we are as citizens.

The second concern is that if they reached power, we have serious doubts that they would allow themselves to be voted out again through democratic elections.

Operation Midnight Hammer was an overwhelmingly successful mission that did, in fact, obliterate Iran's nuclear facilities.

That is not just verified by the President of the United States, but also the International Atomic Energy Commission as well.

That does not mean that Iran may never try again to establish a nuclear program that could directly threaten the United States and our allies abroad, and that's what President Trump wants to ensure can never happen again.

President Trump's first option is always diplomacy, but as he has shown, he is willing to use the lethal force of the United States military if necessary.

I've seen a lot of sensationalist reporting over the past day that is just completely untrue.

Anyone speculating to the media, hiding behind an anonymous source, pretending to know what President Trump is thinking or a decision he will make with respect to action against Iran has no idea what they're talking about.

The enemy doesn't hesitate to use any means. Well, it's already in the media, probably, their attempts or intentions to use even some kind of nuclear component. They probably understand how this can end.

Now there is also our operational information coming in; it should be in the media today as well, it probably already is. I haven't had time to look at anything yet, but we are talking about a possible explosion in our gas systems on the bottom of the Black Sea.

These are the so-called TurkStream and Blue Stream. They just can't seem to calm down.
