What promises did Trump make regarding foreign conflicts?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:00
Trump promised to be the opposite of that. He promised to get the warmongers out. No more stupid wars. No more forever conflicts. No more being the policemen of the world. Except this time, because this time it is him doing it. The only one brave and strong enough to do what other presidents thought was too risky. It's not Iraq or Afghanistan. It's more like Venezuela, he said. Decisive, strategic, brief and necessary because roughly eight months after their nuclear program was obliterated, it needed to be obliterated again because they could have nukes in a week or they could have nukes in a month. Because they can't have short-range missiles. Because Iran was going to strike first and we needed to join in to protect ourselves.

How did Trump's military strategy differ from previous presidents?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:44
Because the Iranian people needed liberation. Because the regime is evil. Because it's a rogue terrorist regime that has been chanting death to America for 47 years. Because they were presented with a unique opportunity to strike. And because Iranians weren't fast enough in their negotiations. They said all of those things. All of those have been explanations for this war. And it's dizzying. It's also confusing, which is probably why we've seen official after official come out to sell it, yelling at, lecturing Americans who might be questioning it. You see it as well as I do. You see the tremendous progress that's being made. Their missiles are being wiped out rapidly. Their launchers are being wiped out.
Stephen K. Bannon 1:30
They're attacking their neighbors. They're attacking their in some cases, allies or not so long ago allies. And, you know, it's really a nation that was out of control and they would have used it on us if we let them, if we waited any longer. A big factor was Soleimani, the killing of Soleimani in my first term. And maybe the biggest factor was the rebuilding of the military in my first term. And then the B-2s hit the And I use the word obliterate because it really was it was a complete obliteration of their nuclear potential. And that set them back very, very seriously. If we didn't hit within two weeks, they would have had a nuclear weapon. If we didn't do the B2 attack a number of months ago, they would have a nuclear weapon.
Stephen K. Bannon 2:19
And when crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen. But this country is not entirely MAGA. It's not even half MAGA. Donald Trump was elected by independents, swing voters and new voters who thought they'd try him out. And when you ask the whole country what they think, those poll numbers look a lot different. And if you look at moderates specifically, 56 percent disapprove of those strikes. But again, this is just day five. Everything can change. All of those poll numbers, all of that opinion, Republican, Democrat, moderate, independent, whoever, all of that can change if this thing drags on.
Abby 3:00
So we reported earlier this morning that President Trump's advisers expect him to endorse cornyn in this runoff election and then shortly after we reported this the president on truth social did not quite say that but he said his endorsement was coming it was going to be a big endorsement and once he endorsed he expected everyone else to drop out that would be a big deal abby explain why
Unknown 3:26
Well, John Cornyn is in a lot of trouble, and any time an incumbent in Texas goes to a primary, it is more likely than not that they're going to lose, because this means half of the electorate has voted against them, and the most right-wing voters show up to a primary. John Cornyn absolutely needs this endorsement for his survival, but he also needs other things to go his way as well.
Stephen K. Bannon 3:50
Like what?
Unknown 3:52
new revelations about Ken Paxton, an assortment, an incredible amount of spending. This thing could cost another $50 million at least. It is going to take all hands on deck to get John Cornyn through this primary if Ken Paxton decides not to drop out.
Stephen K. Bannon 4:10
They've been killing our people and killing people from all over the world. And I think we have great support. And I think if we didn't do it first, they would have done it to Israel and Give us a shot if that was possible.
