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.

We don’t want another Neville Chamberlain.

When you do thousands of flights and you have one plane shot down, they got a little bit lucky.

In war you need a little bit of luck also. They got a little bit lucky, that's all they got.

The war could end very quickly the war they do what they have to do they have to do certain things — they know that.

I call it regime change and I think most people are giving us credit for that.

The first regime was taken out. The second regime was taken out.

Now the third group of people that we're dealing with is not as radicalized and we think they're actually much smarter.

We are obliterating that country. And I hate to do it, but we're obliterating.

They just don't want to say "uncle." They don't want to cry "uncle." But they will.

If they don't, they'll have no bridges, they'll have no power plants, they'll have no anything.

I won't go further because there are other things that are worse than those two.

If I had my choice, what would I like to do? Take the oil, because it's there for the taking, there's not a thing they can do about it.

Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home.

If it were up to me, I'd take the oil, I'd keep the oil, I would make plenty of money.

And I'd also take care of the people of Iran, much better than they've been taken care of. It's been horrible.

They've killed 45,000 people as of a month and a half ago.

We don't do that.

When the Iranian people don’t hear bombs, they get upset; they want to hear bombs, because they want to be free.

We sent some guns; they were supposed to go to the people of Iran. You know what happened? The people we sent them through kept them.

Because they said, "What a beautiful gun, I think I'll keep it."

I'm very upset with a certain group of people, and they're going to pay a big price for that.

The Iranian people will fight back as soon as they know they're not going to be shot and as soon as they can get weapons.

If they had weapons, not many of them, if they had weapons, they would go in the other way, and you know what would happen? Iran would give up in two seconds because they wouldn't be able to take it.

They can't fight back. They have no capability.

I mean, they have some missiles left, they have some drones left, but essentially they have no capability.

We have some helicopters with a lot of bullet holes; you probably know that.
