00:00Mr. President, some of the supporters are split on the U.S. response to CNN.
00:07There's a split, though.
00:09Fake news, fortunately nobody watches.
00:11But my question is...
00:12Is anybody watching CNN nowadays?
00:14I haven't seen it in a long time.
00:16But some of your supporters are wary of the U.S. getting involved in another foreign law,
00:22and some believe that we should support it.
00:25If you ever ask a positive question on CNN,
00:27my supporters are more in love with me today, and I'm in love with them,
00:31more than they were even at election time, where we had a total landslide.
00:37We had, you know, we won all seven swing states.
00:39The CNN report that.
00:40We won all seven.
00:41Seven out of seven, which everyone said would be almost impossible.
00:44And we won by millions of votes.
00:46We won 2,750 districts versus 505 districts.
00:52Think of that.
00:532,750 versus 505.
00:57And CNN...
00:59I think what she might be alluding to is the base is going to stay with you regardless.
01:05And you've gone through different...
01:06I think they all are.
01:07Regardless.
01:08But some of the people in the base don't want a long-term war.
01:11They're afraid that we're going to get into a long-term war.
01:13What are you looking for a long-term war?
01:14We're looking...
01:15It's only...
01:16I only want one thing.
01:17Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
01:18That's it.
01:19I'm not looking long-term, short-term.
01:21And I've been saying that for 20 years.
01:23I've been saying it as a civilian who got a lot of publicity.
01:25People would cover it.
01:27Very simply, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
01:30That's it.
01:31It's not a question of anything else.
01:32And if you did, you wouldn't have much of a country because they would use it on us,
01:36and they'd use it on other people, and they'd be a terror all over the world.
01:40So I may have some people that are a little bit unhappy now, but I have some people that are very happy.
01:45And I have people outside of the base that can't believe that this is happening.
01:49They're so happy.
01:50And there was a poll that just came out today that my approval rating is the highest it's ever been.
01:55All I'm doing is saying you can't have a nuclear weapon.
01:57And I tried to do it nicely.
01:59And then on day 61, I said, let's go, because we can't let that happen.
02:04And I've been saying it for 20 years.
02:06Okay, I'm going to leave.
02:07Thank you very much.
02:08Thank you very much.
02:09Thank you very much.
02:10Thank you very much.
