00:00President Trump had the power to cripple Iran's entire economy in minutes, but he chose mercy.
00:09He spared those targets because Iran accepted the ceasefire under overwhelming pressure.
00:15The new Iranian regime understood that a deal was far better than the fate that awaited them.
00:22This new regime just happened to look at what happened to their predecessors.
00:27Their top leadership was systematically eliminated.
00:31The previous Iranian supreme leader, dead.
00:35President Trump has the option as the commander-in-chief to compel an adversary to the table, which is precisely
00:41what he did.
00:42And at the end, he chose to say, you know what, I'd rather talk to you at the table than
00:44obliterate your capability to export oil and fund your terror regime.
00:49So he did make that choice. That was his choice.
00:52He was a president of peace, and he's been willing to make those really tough calls that the American people
00:57elected him to do.
00:58Nothing we've done, not a single thing we've done, this is a typical, of course, it's ABC, not a single
01:04thing we've done has put an American troop in more of a harm's way.
01:09We've only set our troops up to harm Iranian military capabilities, which they've done to devastating fashion and to great
01:17success.
01:17Yesterday, in the president's Truth Social, he threatened to wipe out a civilization.
01:23That statement elicited a huge response in America.
01:26If Iran did not come to the table and make a deal yesterday by the deadline, was the president really
01:32prepared to wipe out Iran entirely?
01:35Like I said, we had a target set locked and loaded of infrastructure, bridges, power plants.
01:41Remember, this is a terror regime, a military regime, used all of these things for dual use to fund their
01:47military, to fund their terror campaigns.
01:48We had a lot of legitimate targets.
01:50They knew exactly the scope of what we were capable of.
01:52We hit some military targets on CARG, which is a bit of a signal.
01:56They can't defend it.
01:58And so Iran ultimately understood their ability, their future, to produce, to generate power, to fuel their terrorist regime was
02:08in our hands.
02:09It was in President Trump's hands.
02:10That's why they came to the table.
02:12He ultimately said, we can take it all from you.
02:16Your ability to export energy will be taken away.
02:18And the United States military has the ability to strike those things with impunity.
02:22That type of threat is what brought them to the place where they effectively said, hey, okay, we want to
02:29cut this deal.
