And so Venezuela, in my judgment, was about China.

cuba if we should go down that road will be about china and certainly iran quite substantially is due to china in their support of iran's nuclear weapons program i think what trump president trump has done here is signal to communist china that's not going to take place that we're going to do what's in our interest we're not going to be in endless wars we're not going to have an american empire that seeks to go everywhere

you know all over the world but we are going to stop you communist china from using your influence to harm the interests of the united states and more importantly the security of the united states so i see this as targeted as much at china as it is iran and and in that sense i take quite seriously what president trump has articulated as i as i say about their nuclear weapons

And I'm concerned today about what Communist China could do to resupply Iran during these two weeks.

The president has articulated that there'll be 50 percent tariffs on anybody who looks to be helping Iran during this period of time.

But we're in a delicate spot here.

This is not going to be easy.

I don't think it's going to be quick.

I hope it is quick.

But, you know, there's a long way to go here.

before we see an end to this war in terms that are suitable to the United States.

Let me go with your first point about the industrial capacity of the United States to produce these weapons or our own defensive munitions.

We're not going quickly enough.

If we have defense industries today

that are not working around the clock the way they did in World War II to produce these munitions, then we're making a mistake.

And the Defense Department or the Department of War is going to have to fix that immediately.

My guess is there are various parts of our military industrial complex, the way you describe it, that are working around the clock to make sure we're protected.

And we need to be.

And we need to be protected by

munitions that we can use to inflict damage upon our enemies, wherever they may be.
