Our country is doing so well, like it has never done before — you'll see that very shortly.

Things that we've done have not been done before.

What about the rescue that took place yesterday? That's something that you rarely see.

I don't think it gets much more hostile than Iran, they're capable fighters, they're very tough people, and there are others like that.

You don't mind when the enemy is weak, but that enemy is strong. Not so strong like they were about a month ago.

Right now they're not too strong at all, in my opinion, but we're soon gonna find out, aren't we?

When a pilot gets shot down, in most instances, you're really not able to go in because you'll go in with 200 people and lots of jet fighters and helicopters, and you really don't have a chance.

They get shot down. You lose 200 in order to pick up one. It's a horrible thing, but it's very rare that you can do it.

What we did yesterday is we picked up not one; we picked up two. We kept the first one quiet, and we were able to keep it quiet for about a day, which made it a lot better.

I've seen every proposal you can imagine.

Tuesday is the final deadline for Iran.

They made a significant proposal. It is not good enough but it is very significant.

We'll see what happens.

Both airmen are doing well.

They are both recovering very well. They were both injured and they're doing well.
