Those first two, remember that's kill the Ayatollah and cripple Iran's military.

Those, we can definitely do that.

But fomenting an uprising?

regime change yeah that's uh way more complicated and um and netanyahu's pitch was detached from reality the u.s intel uh assessment was so when mr trump joined the meeting john ratcliffe briefed him on the assessment the cia director used one word to describe the israeli prime minister's regime change scenario farcical it's a farce not achievable

At that point, Mr. Rubio cut in, Secretary Rubio.

Quote, in other words, it's bullshit, said Rubio.

Listen to how clear eyed these guys are.

These are not guys who are being yanked around by Israel, not being led around by the nose by the Israelis.

These are guys who are saying, well, these two things are achievable.

These are in our interest.

Those other two, Netanyahu is like way overstating what's possible here.

Let's just ignore that.

So Ratcliffe added that given the unpredictability of events in any conflict, regime change could happen, could, but it shouldn't be considered an achievable objective.

General Cain weighed in.

He was asked by the president what he thought.

He said, sir, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis, what they're doing.

They oversell and their plans are not always well-developed.

They know they need us and that's why they're hard selling.

Mr. Trump quickly weighed the assessment.

Regime change, he said, would be, quote, their problem.
