00:00We came into the situation with maximum leverage and maximum strength.
00:03Their nuclear program was destroyed.
00:06Their conventional military was destroyed.
00:09And you've got some people within the Iranian system who are saying, you know what, we want
00:13to change our relationship with the United States.
00:15We want to turn over a new leaf.
00:17And the president said, OK, we will sit down at the table and negotiate and see if the
00:22smart people in that system can take over from the crazy people.
00:26Well here's the basic deal that we cut.
00:28The basic deal that we cut was, we'll lift our blockade if you stop shooting at ships.
00:33But if you shoot at ships, we are going to punch back, and we're going to punch back harder
00:37than ever before.
00:38That was the deal.
00:40They said they would stop shooting at ships, and what happened 24 hours ago?
00:44They start shooting at ships again.
00:46Now they were good, they were well behaved for about a week, but then they started shooting
00:49at ships.
00:50So the deal is very simple.
00:51If they shoot at ships, we're going to knock the hell out of them, and it's that simple,
00:55and that's the basic way it's going to work.
00:58It is now out.
00:58So let's just take you pay us out.
