00:00Mr. President, you said that the war was militarily won in Iran.
00:03What did you mean by that?
00:04You said the war was militarily won in Iran.
00:06What did you mean by that?
00:07The President, I think we won.
00:08We've knocked out their Navy, their Air Force.
00:10We've knocked out their anti-aircraft.
00:13We've knocked out everything.
00:14We're roaming free.
00:15From a military standpoint, all they're doing is clogging up the strait.
00:19But from a military standpoint, they're finished.
00:23So how much longer should the American people expect to go?
00:25You said opening the strait of Hormuz is a simple military maneuver.
00:32Very simple.
00:33Yeah, but what did you mean by that?
00:35It's a simple military maneuver.
00:37It's relatively safe.
00:39But you need a lot of help in the sense of you need ships.
00:43You need volume.
00:45And NATO could help us, but they so far haven't had the courage to do so.
00:50And others could help us.
00:51But, you know, we don't use it.
00:53You know, at a certain point, it'll open itself at a certain point.
00:57But we've defeated the enemy, and they are an enemy.
01:01They're a sick group of people.
01:03The leadership is gone.
01:05The Navy is gone.
01:06The Air Force is gone.
01:07The anti-aircraft equipment that they have, the radar they have, is all gone.
01:13Everything is gone.
01:15The strait itself, the actual strait.
01:17How are you?
01:18The Press- Hi.
01:18The strait itself is, we're doing a good job.
01:22But it would be nice if the countries, including China, if the countries that use it,
01:27China uses it 90 percent of their energy.
01:30Japan is 95 percent of the energy.
01:33It would be nice if those countries would get involved.
01:36But what did you call it?
01:38Did you ask them to come up?
01:49What?
01:49What?
01:52I thought she did a good job yesterday.
01:55The Press on the American bases in Europe.
01:59Lindsey Graham has asked for you to reconsider the
02:02American bases in Spain, in Germany, after what they
02:05have done in the Strait of Hormuz.
02:07What's your take on that?
02:07The President Well, it deserves.
02:08He's right about asking that.
02:09And I think NATO has gone down a long way because
02:12they haven't — I mean, they should be helping with
02:15the Strait.
02:15They get much of their energy from the Strait of
02:18Hormuz.
02:19And if Lindsey Graham said that — and don't
02:21forget, he was the big NATO guy for a while, and now
02:24he's not.
02:25And a lot of senators and congressmen, they were
02:28big — they're very upset with the fact that NATO has
02:30done nothing.
02:31The Press on the Press.
02:33The Press on the Press.
02:33The Press on the Press.
02:33The Press on the Press.
02:33The Press on the Press.
02:34The Press on the Press.
02:36The Press on the Press.
02:36The President Well, look, we can have dialogue,
02:41but we don't — I don't want to do a ceasefire.
02:43You know, you don't do a ceasefire when you're
02:45literally obliterating the other side.
02:47But they don't have a Navy.
02:49They don't have an Air Force.
02:50They don't have any equipment to — they don't
02:52have any spotters.
02:53They don't have anti-aircraft.
02:55They don't have radar.
02:57And their leaders have all been killed at every level.
03:00We're not looking to do that.
03:03The Press on the Press.
03:17The Press on the Press.
03:18The Press on the Press.
03:18The President Yeah, he was a — Chuck Doris died.
03:20I didn't know that.
03:21He was a great guy.
03:23He was a really good, tough cookie.
03:26You didn't want to fight him, I can tell you.
03:28He was a tough, great guy with — and he was a
03:31great supporter.
03:32Wow, that's too bad.
03:34Tell his family, highest respect.
03:38Okay?
03:38Great man.
03:39Mr. President, I'm going to get this warm-up.
03:41Mr. President, I know I'm going to get along with this
03:48great man.
03:49I probably would.
03:50Do you want to make a deal with him?
03:52Do you want to make a deal with his fellow followers?
03:54Mr. President, are you deploying the additional
03:58transportation for deterrence or to optimize your
04:03operational capability?
04:04The President, well, I would say this.
04:06That if I told you the answer to that question, my
04:08military people would be very happy.
04:10So, we have a lot of troops.
04:12We have unlimited ammunition.
04:14We have the greatest equipment in the world.
04:16And we are decimating Iran.
04:19It's about time.
04:20And, frankly, it should have been done long before me.
04:23It should have been done before others.
04:28There are minutes away from Russia.
04:30The Press, the Press 7rand, and U.S.
04:31has shown that Medina is essentially unified
04:33behind the other Republicans in foreign fiction.
04:35There's been reports that — you know, she's got
04:38spread of 2500 Marines until the Middle East.
04:42Are you concerned that a move like that could
04:44potentially change the university?
04:46The President, and I don't know.
04:46I seem to have great support.
04:48Because CNN came out with a poll today that
04:51I'm at 100 percent.
04:53And they said they've never seen a poll like that.
04:55The CNN poll said I'm at 100 percent,
04:58and they've never seen that before uh which is an honor i was i was impressed that cnn would
05:03do that but uh as far as troops are concerned i can't tell you what we're doing mr president
05:10mr president you took it mr president you took issue with australia japan and south korea this
05:15way i was very surprised very surprised about australia and what what would you like them to
05:19do well they should get involved and uh i was a little bit surprised if they said no because
05:24we always say yes to that what did australia say no to what did australia say no to mr president
05:31they'll allow the u.s to use air bases to defend the trade of foreigners what's your response
05:37well it's been a very late response surprise because the relationship is so good but this
05:43has never happened before they were really pretty much our first ally all over the world first ally and
05:50they didn't want us to use the island the so-coiled island which for some reason they gave up rights
05:55to it and uh i was a little surprised at the uk to be honest with you they should have
06:00they should
06:01have acted a lot faster
