And those outcomes are what we're seeing in Iran now, which with everything in Venezuela, what folks are not seeing is, as you all know, riots in the streets in Tehran.

Tehran is at the weakest point it has been in in 46 years since the Ayatollah took over in 1980.

We are finally seeing

that this other terrible murderous regime is finally on the rocks between years of sanctions uh through our good friends and allies in israel targeted strikes to disable their capabilities of course the midnight hammer mission and other things quite simply like the drought that is that is that has starved tehran of the ability to sustain population so there's a combination of factors that have put yet another murderous regime at a tipping point and uh it's not an accident we got there

It's because the very focused policies of Secretary Rubio and the president here are taking our adversaries and letting them know that we're not going to sit there and let them constantly stab us in the back and undermine our republic.

Well, that's exactly right.

And thank you for reminding folks it's day four, because I mean, even on Sunday, it was laughable to hear all of our critics out there, you know, oh my God, it's not stabilized.

We don't have a functioning democracy in Venezuela.

It's been 24 hours.

Are you kidding me?

It took us, you know, 15 years to get a constitution in place in America, 1775 to 1789, all right?

It's going to take some time to stabilize this.

It's not going to be perfect on day four.

And to your point, actually, to go back to kind of the Iraq doctrine, which

Listen, we all know that there were mistakes made and being someone who served there, trust me, I understand that.

But what also gets lost in that history is Iraq actually became quite a functional place relatively quickly.

And if Barack Obama had not pulled us out in 2011 to just fill a shallow campaign promise, we were on a pretty good track there.

And ultimately, Iraq is on a better track now.

But I think with Venezuela, as far as next steps,

Rubio, Stephen Miller, the president, are very focused on that.
