Graham on Iran Conflict: Trump Is the Right Guy for the Right Time

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Joining us now is South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham. You were praising the president for his patience and seeking peace and going back to the table and back to the table. You can’t say he didn’t try to give them an out, an opportunity, knowing what the eventual outcome was going to be he said I told them. It’s a waste of human life. They can’t have a nuclear weapon and everyone should evacuate tehran, how do you interpret that?
>> I take the president at his word. He gave them 60 days to do a deal. On the 61st day we are where we are. There is two ways to stop them from having a nuclear weapon. One is diplomacy and the other is force. I think the headline tonight is we are moving into the land of force. I think Iran has allow themselves to be fooled into thinking they could manipulate Trump. Same old tactics with the wrong guy when it comes to Trump. To all those who voted for President Trump and got him in office, God bless you he’s the right guy at the right time. These are dangerous times. Why do we say no nuclear weapon for Iran, they are a religious theocracy, built around extreme version of islam. They want to destroy Saudi Arabia. They want to kill all the in Israel and come after us. That’s what their country is built upon. A theocratic view that there’s nobody else in the world but them when it comes to worshiping god. If they had a nuclear weapon they would use it. So here’s the task at hand. Be all in President Trump and helping Israel illuminate the nuclear threat. If we need to provide bombs do that. If we need to fly planes with Israel to joint operation but here’s the bigger question. When the world be better off if they went away and were replaced by something better? Tom Cotton made a great observation. The endless war is Iran. They’ve bin attacking the entire region changing death to America and death to Israel since their founding. It’s time to close the chapter. Let’s close it soon and start a new chapter in the mideast, one of tolerance, hope and peace.
