I got to say, that's also a really powerful illustration.

If that's what they do now...

Yeah.

Can you imagine how much worse if they had a nuclear weapon?

And during the whole go back to Obama and the debates on Obama's terrible Iran nuclear deal, I always said most of the debate rotated around, well, if they had a nuclear weapon, it would change the balance of power.

It would make them more aggressive.

They would fund more terrorism.

And I always said, look, that's the best case scenario.

The best case scenario is a horrible situation.

The worst case is that they would actually use the nuclear weapon, and everyone operates under an assumption, well, having a nuclear weapon doesn't mean you use it.

Listen, when the Ayatollah chants, death to Israel and death to America, I believe him.

When he calls Israel the little Satan and America the great Satan...

I believe him, and I think the odds are unacceptably high.

I don't know what they were, but they were unacceptably high that the Ayatollah, if he had a nuclear weapon, would detonate it, maybe in Tel Aviv or maybe in New York or Los Angeles.

And I don't want to wake up and discover, oh, the predictions were wrong because we have a mushroom cloud and hundreds of thousands or even millions of Americans being killed.

The reason and by the way, I'm going to say a lot of the the.

The news reporting is challenging.

Why would Trump do this attack?

You heard Margaret Brennan there say Trump campaigned on not getting in wars.
