You took exception last week
to the president threatening
to wipe out
an entire civilization in Iran.
It was a newsworthy rebuke
from a high ranking Republican.
What did you think
when you saw that threat?
I guess I wouldn't
call it a rebuke.
I was asked a question.
I gave an honest answer.
We're not at war
with the Iranian people.
In fact, we are trying
to do everything we can
to support them.
We want to liberate
the Iranian people
not
not impoverish them.
So again, President Trump
has a certain negotiating style.
I mean, I for one
am hoping and praying
it works.
I mean, Frederica, just think
of how if all
these things are successful
It looks like Venezuela
is on the road to success.
If we can tame Iran
if we can remove that regime
and get more
responsible leadership in there
who are going to be more
interested in governing Iran
for the benefit of its people
as opposed to their ideology
being a state sponsor of terror.
I mean, just understand
how positively that could reset
global politics
or the geopolitical situation
throughout the world.
If Cuba could reclaim
if Cubans could reclaim
their liberty and their freedom.
I mean, these are
Iran should be
incredibly successful
and prosperous nation
as should Venezuela
as should Cuba.
And it's only
it's only through
American leadership that
those things can happen.
