00:00Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate

00:07He's weak and he's ineffective

00:15They thought that when I got elected within the first year would be in World War three

00:20And I'm really the opposite of a warmonger, but I was running everybody said oh, he's gonna get into war

00:26He's gonna get into war. He's going to blow everybody up

00:29He's gonna get into war because the easiest thing I could do. Okay, go ahead knock out

01:42It's been decades in many cases

01:50I would say we want to bring

01:52Our troops back home from these endless wars

01:55Hillary and our failed establishment have spent six trillion dollars

02:00On wars in the middle east that we never win

02:03And now it's in worse shape

02:06Than ever before the middle east is in far worse shape than it's ever been
