a coup d'etat.

We risk the generals getting angry.

We're going to keep Dulce Rodriguez, who was Maduro's number two, and just say to her, you like this job?

How about being a little bit more pro-America?

That's what we're here for.

And I think they're pursuing the exact same thing in Iran.

They're not trying to install somebody who the West would love.

They're saying, we need to get the nuclear threat off.

We need to get rid of the threat to the United States, to our children and grandchildren.

And the rest is really up to the Iranian people.

We wish them well, we want them to win, but we're not fighting this fight for them.

There is a maturity that this president is bringing to the table with Marco Rubio, where they have a really clear understanding of they're rejecting both the Obama era appeasement and the Bush era nation building.

and saying, we are America first.

We want you to do what's right for you.

We want to see freedom everywhere, but we're trying to avoid chaos and create stability, which is why it was so important for the Saudis to get on board here as well.

He said in his initial message to the American people that this could be a possibility, which I thought was really correct to do, not to avoid the fact that this might happen.

He, of course, wants to avoid these kinds of casualties at all costs.

But again, he's protecting our children and grandchildren from having to face a nuclear Iran.

I think that if it does seem that the threat is big, I think that will change the calculus.

But as you pointed out, you're not seeing the Russians or the Chinese coming to the Iranian regime's defense.
