The Obama people sent the money.

The Biden people allowed them to seize a warship and paid them more money to get the warship back.

They've committed assassinations, acts of terrorism.

And now we know they're massively rejected by their own people who have sacrificed their lives by the thousands in a bid for freedom.

This is the moment.

This is the president who happens to be in charge at the moment.

How can you say no to the Iranian people?

And how can you forget all the crimes that Iran has inflicted against the United States and America's friends all around the world?

So 1956, American radio, Voice of America, and stations like that were saying throughout the month of October of 56 to the Hungarians at a time when Soviet power looked a little wobbly, rise up, rise up.

This is the moment you will be helped.

And they did rise up.

And the United States did nothing to help them.

And the Suez crisis erupted in the Middle East at the same time.

And that had something to do with it.

But basically, President Eisenhower was not going to touch it.

And as you say, thousands, I think hundreds were killed.

Thousands were made prisoner.

A quarter of a million, I believe, were driven into exile.

But let me continue with the steel man now, remembering that.

Which is to say, OK, it's not the time, not the team.
