I don't know.

Here's what Trump did say.

The president said, Trump praises Iran Exile Royal as very nice,

but doesn't go as far as fully supporting regime change bid.

Okay, Rob, is this the Hugh Hewitt clip?

We've seen this one already.

So I know this one here on him saying this.

If you want to play this one more time, you can go ahead and play the clip.

It's only 30 seconds.

So that's Hugh Hewitt.

Now, this is an interview with Reuters on Wednesday that this is a different interview.

In an Oval Office interview with Reuters, he said that while Reza Pahlavi seems like a nice guy, Trump wasn't sure the Iranian population would accept the crown prince as the country's leader.

The conversation happened moments after Trump appeared to pump the brakes on an American military intervention, something the president has been threatening for weeks.

as the Islamic regime has brutally cracked down on widespread protests.

He seems very nice, but I don't know how he'd play within his own country, the president said of Pahlavi, and we really aren't up to that point yet.

I don't know whether or not his country would accept his leadership, and certainly if they would, that would be fine with me.

Trump said it was possible that the government of Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, could fall amid the demonstrations.

Though added, in truth, anti-regime can fall.

Whether or not it falls or not,

Whether or not it falls or not, it's going to be an interesting period of time.
