Mark Dubowitz

And he's been very careful and very selective about how he uses American power.

I mean, we've talked about it throughout this whole conversation.

Trump used American power to kill Qasem Soleimani, one of the world's most dangerous terrorists.

He killed Baghdadi, the head of ISIS, one of the world's most dangerous terrorists.

He refrained from going after

the Iranian takedown of our drone.

He refrained from when the Iranians fired on Saudi Aramco and took off 20% of our oil, right?

He's been very, very selective about the use of American power.

He did go after the Houthis, who are Iran-backed, and were using Iranian missiles to go after our ships.

Yeah, nice try.

Anyway, everybody knows that the Iranians have been financing the Houthis.

Hezbollah has been training the Houthis.

And Iran has given capabilities to the Houthis to develop their own indigenous missile capability.

The fact of the matter is he did, in a way, go after the Houthis himself.

much more intensively than Biden did in order to prevent them from continuing to shut down Red Sea shipping on which both America and our allies depend as a trade route.

He actually did it quite successfully because after a few days of pretty intensive bombing, the Houthis got the message.

And they cut a deal with Donald Trump.

They're not going to interfere with our shift anymore.

Well, it sounds like he, in terms of promoting American national security interests, sounds like he did a pretty good job of sending a message to the Houthis and the Iranians.

Don't mess with the United States.
