Transcript [00:00] Hey everybody. You know, one of the [00:01] topics that's been u out there since [00:04] this war started and even before this [00:06] war started was why is President Trump [00:09] going to war and is Israel dragging him [00:11] into this and does he really want to be [00:13] doing this? And uh you know, of course, [00:15] the question of whether or not it's in [00:17] America's best interest, but there's [00:18] many who believe that even President [00:20] Trump really didn't want to go to war, [00:22] but that the Israelis dragged him into [00:23] it. And the angle we're going to take on [00:26] that issue in this video is to take a [00:28] look at President Trump himself, what [00:31] he's been saying most recently about the [00:33] war, which very honest and revealing, I [00:35] believe, but also what he has said [00:37] throughout his career. We're going to [00:39] see some interesting things. Before we [00:40] get into that, please make sure to go [00:43] ahead and check out israel365action.com.

It'll keep you [01:40] informed with up-to-date information [01:42] about Israel and the Middle East. Okay, [01:45] so let's take a look at at President [01:47] Trump on Air Force One uh a couple of [01:50] days ago. [01:51] >> Tumbling down as soon as it's over. It's [01:53] going to be over pretty quickly. Do you [01:55] have any concerns about the political [01:57] impacts of this? I mean, [01:59] >> I have to do what's right. You know, [02:00] political, everybody has concern. I have [02:03] to do what's right. Uh I can't say that, [02:06] you know, gee, I I don't want to have [02:08] any impact on oil prices for three or [02:11] four weeks or two months and we're going [02:13] to let Iran have a nuclear weapon and [02:16] blow up the entire Middle East and [02:17] beyond, right? because you know they [02:20] we're going to blow up the Middle East. [02:21] If I didn't terminate the Obama horrible [02:24] deal, the Iran nuclear deal it's called. [02:26] If I didn't terminate that in my first [02:28] term, they would have already had a [02:30] nuclear weapon and they would have used [02:32] it immediately upon getting it. And if I [02:35] didn't send in the B2 bombers to bomb [02:37] the hell out of it and obliterate, and [02:40] that's what it was. We obliterated the [02:42] site. They're going to come tumbling [02:44] down as soon as it's [02:45] >> okay. So that was President Trump two [02:46] days ago on Air Force One. And you see [02:48] what he says there. I have to do what's [02:50] right. And even when he was asked about [02:51] the political impact, the negative [02:53] political impact of going to war, he's [02:54] saying, listen, I have to do what's [02:56] right. And I think that he's really been [02:59] very honest about this that he really [03:02] believes and people who are supporters [03:04] of Trump who don't like the fact that [03:06] that he that he decided to go to this [03:09] war. You know, you can not like the fact [03:12] that he believes in this. But what a lot [03:15] of them are saying is, "Oh, he didn't [03:16] really want to do it." And I think [03:17] that's where they're kind of kidding [03:19] themselves because he's been pretty [03:20] consistent. And in a clip like this, you [03:22] really see the conviction in what he's [03:24] saying and the honesty that he just [03:26] really believes that this is the right [03:27] thing to do, that this is an evil regime [03:29] that need that needs to be taken down [03:32] and project into the future who's going [03:34] to take care of it. And he sees it as [03:35] his responsibility. And here he echoed [03:38] that in his remarks yesterday. And I'll [03:41] just play I'll play a little bit of that [03:43] and then we'll see some and then I'll [03:45] I'll I'll show you a a really [03:46] interesting clip after that. So let's [03:48] take a look. This is President Trump. [03:50] Yesterday, [03:51] >> one of your adviserss, David Saxs, said [03:53] the other week that the US should quote, [03:55] "Declare victory and get out of the Iran [03:58] war." He also warned that if the [03:59] conflict escalates, Israel may [04:01] contemplate the use of a nuclear weapon. [04:03] Has he shared that assessment with you? [04:05] >> No. Yes. Israel wouldn't do that. Israel [04:09] would never do that. And uh yeah, [04:12] there's no there's a theory. you pounded [04:15] them to hell and you could just leave [04:16] now and it'll take 10 years for them to [04:19] build back not nearly what they have [04:21] right now. And I guess that's another [04:22] theory. But we want to have it ended so [04:26] that another president doesn't have [04:28] Look, for 47 years, no president was [04:31] willing to do what I'm doing. And they [04:33] should have done it a long time ago. It [04:35] would have been a lot easier. There's no [04:37] president that wanted to do it. And yet [04:39] every president knew. I've spoken to a [04:41] certain president who I like actually a [04:45] past president, former president. He [04:47] said, "I wish I did it. I wish I did, [04:49] but they didn't do it. I'm doing it." [04:51] Yeah. [04:54] >> So, you know, there again, you see the [04:56] way President Trump is thinking about [04:58] this. He's like, "For 47 years there [05:01] was, you know, no one has dealt with [05:03] this. Everyone's known it needed to be [05:04] dealt with." And, you know, and and and [05:07] and you see the way he also said there [05:11] uh you know he had he started saying I [05:12] don't want to leave it for another [05:14] president I don't want to leave it for [05:15] future generations I really believe that [05:18] he sees this as an important part of his [05:21] legacy that he's going to leave the [05:23] world uh without the Iranian regime that [05:26] he will have taken down the Iranian [05:27] regime this Iranian regime started 47 [05:29] years ago it's not a law of nature that [05:32] it needs to exist forever and he sees it [05:34] as as his uh seeming seeming like a kind [05:37] of sacred mission that this has to be [05:39] taken taken down and and again the [05:42] honesty and the conviction with which he [05:44] says that mean a lot especially in this [05:47] whole debate that everyone's having now [05:49] oh what why why are we going to war as I [05:52] mentioned before but then yesterday I [05:54] saw this amazing clip uh and it's a it's [05:57] a it's a threeinut report three and a [05:59] half minute report or so on Newsmax from [06:02] Rob Schmidt and he goes into well I'll [06:07] just let you watch it yourself he goes [06:08] into Trump's history about Iran. [06:12] >> Trump wants to remove the most [06:14] radicalizing government in the world, [06:17] and our allies, of course, would prefer [06:19] it if we could just handle this on our [06:21] own. Trump says it'll be a bad future [06:23] for NATO if they don't help get this [06:25] straight open along his side. And [06:27] resurfacing over the weekend, evidence [06:29] that Trump's position on Iran has been [06:31] steady for decades, going all the way [06:33] back to 1988, nearly 40 years ago. Trump [06:36] saying, "I'd be harsh on Iran. They've [06:39] been beating us psychologically, making [06:40] us look like a bunch of fools. One [06:43] bullet shot at one of our men or ships, [06:45] and I'd do a number on Carg Island. I'd [06:49] go in and take it. Iran can't even beat [06:52] Iraq. Yet, they pushed the United States [06:54] around. It'd be good for the world to [06:56] take them on. Isn't that something from [06:59] 1988 and a body slam to all the critics [07:02] who say that the president's been [07:03] dragged into this war by Israel or by [07:06] the military-industrial complex? It's [07:08] worth repeating, Trump has shoved off [07:10] pressures to go to war for years that he [07:12] has been in the White House. Been in the [07:13] White House for five years collectively [07:15] and he's resisted war all of these [07:18] years. His critics, especially those who [07:19] supported him, but then abandon him over [07:22] this war, need to realize that there is [07:23] a big difference between forever wars [07:26] and operations like this to prevent [07:28] those forever wars from happening. [07:31] Here's Trump with Barbara Walters 39 [07:34] years ago talking about Iran. [07:38] But as far as Trump is concerned, our [07:40] allies are only part of the problem. The [07:42] real culprit is Iran. [07:44] >> Why couldn't we go in and take over some [07:47] of their oil, which is along the sea? [07:49] >> How would you do that? Would you send in [07:50] the Marines? Would you take a chance in [07:52] a war? [07:53] >> Let them have Iran. You take their oil. [07:55] That That's what I [07:56] >> How? [07:57] >> I mean, do we want a war? What do you [07:58] mean you take their oil? [07:59] >> You go in. You're going to have a war in [08:01] You're going to have a war by being [08:02] weak. [08:03] >> Okay. How do we go in? What do we [08:05] >> Excuse me. You're going to have a war [08:07] and it's going to start in the Middle [08:09] East. The next time I attack this [08:11] country, go in and grab one of their big [08:14] oil installations. And I mean grab it [08:16] and keep it and get back your losses [08:18] because this country has lost plenty [08:19] because of Iran. [08:21] >> Nice reminder to everybody that this is [08:23] a country that we have been dealing with [08:25] and tiptoeing around for a very long [08:28] time. This is an awful regime that has [08:31] been causing the world a lot of [08:33] headaches and death and suffering for [08:35] almost 50 years. This isn't a new idea. [08:38] This wasn't just some, you know, [08:40] off-the-cuff, oh, let's go invade Iran [08:42] because we got nothing else to do. This [08:43] has been building up for a long time. [08:45] It's been in his head for almost 50 [08:46] years. The Car Island operation was four [08:49] decades in the making. Sentcom today [08:52] showing the destruction of drone storage [08:54] facilities in Iran. That's the last big [08:57] thing they have are these drones that [08:58] they're firing off. We're blowing up the [09:00] places that they store them as fast as [09:01] we can, as well as the places that they [09:04] build them, the manufacturing [09:05] facilities, as you see on the screen, [09:07] being decimated by our bombs as the [09:10] regime continues to be pummeled. The IDF [09:13] destroying Iran's version of Air Force [09:15] One as well. The Supreme Leader jet has [09:18] been blown to bits. Trump asked if he's [09:21] worried about his poll numbers as his [09:23] operation is continually criticized [09:26] viciously by the media. [09:30] Do [09:30] >> you have any concerns about the [09:31] political impacts of this? I mean, [09:34] >> I have to do what's right. You know, [09:35] political and everybody has concern. I [09:38] have to do what's right. Uh I can't say. [09:41] >> All right. And then they play the And [09:43] then Rob Robert Rob Schmidt plays that [09:45] clip of President Trump [09:49] um that I showed you at the beginning uh [09:51] on Air Force One. He plays a piece of [09:53] it. So you Rob said something really [09:55] interesting there and I think it's [09:57] really worth mentioning in all of these [09:59] conversations, all of these debates [10:00] about why America went to war and [10:01] President Trump is now suddenly a [10:03] wararmonger. Suddenly he's, you know, [10:05] he's the war president. Let's remember [10:07] he resisted going to war. In his first [10:09] term, he was he had been the only [10:10] president since well for decades [10:16] that did not start a war going all the [10:18] way back to Reagan. First president to [10:20] have not started a war. He was the [10:22] president. He was the peace president. [10:25] And even when he took military action [10:27] throughout his first term and the be and [10:28] up until now in his second term, never [10:31] went to war, never took a military [10:33] action that led to a war. [10:35] So now that he's doing this, you would [10:38] think that his supporters would at least [10:40] give him the credit to trust him that [10:42] he's not going to drag America into [10:44] something that isn't in America's best [10:45] interest, that he's not looking for war. [10:48] So if he chooses to go to war, then [10:51] maybe in his assessment, it actually is [10:54] a war that is worth fighting. Just [10:55] because you don't want to fight wars [10:57] doesn't mean there's no such thing as a [10:58] war worth fighting. And President Trump [11:00] has determined that this is a war worth [11:01] fighting. But not only that, the what's [11:03] amazing about this clip is you see the [11:05] consistency. He was talking about Car [11:06] Island. Most of us had never heard of [11:08] Car Island until this week. He was [11:10] talking about Car Island in the 1980s. [11:13] He was talking about the problem of the [11:14] Iranian regime. And let's remember the [11:16] day he came down the escalator and [11:17] announced that he was a candidate for [11:19] president the first time, he talked [11:20] about the problem of Iran. [11:24] And you know who realizes this? You know [11:25] who for sure is aware of how much [11:29] President Trump was committed to taking [11:31] down the Iranian regime? You know who [11:32] knows it? The Iranians. [11:35] Why did they make multiple attempts on [11:37] his life? We know that. That the [11:39] Iranians were trying to assassinate [11:40] President Trump. Oh, because he was [11:42] running for president. Because he was [11:43] anti-Iran. There have been a lot of [11:44] anti-Iran presidential candidates and [11:47] presidents [11:48] in the last 47 years who've spoken [11:51] who've talked tough about Iran. The [11:53] Iranians weren't trying to get them [11:56] killed. They were trying to take out [11:57] President Trump because they knew that [11:58] President Trump was the one who who who [12:01] understood it, was committed to it, and [12:03] had the well the will and the ability to [12:08] carry something like this out. The [12:10] consistency of President Trump over the [12:13] years is what's is what is so important. [12:16] And you got to tell everyone about this [12:17] because people saying that Israel, as [12:19] Rob said, people saying Israel dragged [12:21] America into this war. You again, you [12:23] may not like the fact that President [12:25] Trump has this view of Iran and wants to [12:29] take Iran down and has been consistently [12:31] saying it for almost half a century. You [12:35] might not like that, but to say that [12:38] President Trump didn't want to do this [12:40] after he's been saying this for 45 years [12:42] or whatever it is [12:45] is absurd. [12:47] to say that he didn't want to do it. [12:50] He says it over and over and over again [12:52] over the years in the 80s running for [12:55] president for the first time. Now in [12:57] between, [12:59] look, President Trump is acting in the [13:03] best in what he believes is the again [13:05] like I showed you, he believes it's the [13:07] right thing to do. He doesn't want to [13:08] leave this for future presidents. He has [13:10] a certain clarity that a lot of people [13:12] don't have right now, which is, let me [13:14] put this simply. [13:17] If we all agree that the Iranian regime [13:19] is a bad thing, and we all hope and pray [13:22] for the day that it's no longer in the [13:24] world, what is going to make it weaker? [13:25] What is going to take it down? [13:29] Evil regimes can exist a very long time, [13:32] especially as modern technology advances [13:34] in terms of surveillance ability and and [13:36] uh and weaponry. There's a lot of ways [13:38] for them to oppress their people and to [13:40] continue to seow chaos and evil in the [13:42] world. And of course, the fact that [13:44] they're Shiite Muslims. Go make sure to [13:46] watch my interview with Dr. Mor Kheddar [13:49] so you understand what this means that [13:50] they're chaotic. And like when Trump [13:52] says if they had gotten a nuclear [13:53] weapon, they would use it immediately. [13:54] They would. These are the people who who [13:56] who funded and inspired Hamasah. They're [13:59] trying to slaughter people all the time. [14:02] They say death to America, death to [14:04] Israel every day, right? [14:06] So if if President Trump sees that [14:08] clearly and says, you know what, I'm [14:10] going to be the one to step up and to [14:12] alter history and to take this evil off [14:14] the table, this evil that has infected [14:16] the world for 47 years. I'm going to be [14:18] the one to take it off the table. And [14:19] he's been saying it for decades. [14:23] So to now come along and say he didn't [14:25] really want to go to war and the [14:26] Israelis dragged him into it is [14:27] ridiculous. [14:29] It doesn't hold up. Again, you may not [14:33] like that President Trump, with [14:34] everything else you love about him, [14:36] wanted this war, but he's been saying he [14:39] wanted it for a very, very long time. [14:42] Thanks for watching.
