Hugh Hewitt @hughhewitt - From my interview with President Trump today:
“HH: You’ve done a good job crushing them. I was talking with Ambassador Oren, used to represent Israel to the United States.
DT: Yeah.
HH: And I said I’m going to talk to the President. What do you want me to say to him? And he said tell him to finish the job. He’ll be a world historical figure. He will be up there with the greats if he takes out this regime. Do you see it that way? 
DT: Well, a lot of people have said that, a lot of very smart people. A lot of semi-moderate people have said that. Others would like to see a deal, because you know, it’s a travesty when you do that, when you go that far. We’ve taken out much of what we’d have to do, probably another two weeks, two weeks, maybe three weeks. And time is not of the essence for us. You know, I’ll say to you as a very, very highly-respected guy, a lot of people think oh, I want to do it for the midterms. I think, you know, I made a speech the other day in front of great senior citizens, unbelievable, thousands and thousands of them. And the thing that got the biggest, then I want to Kravis Center and said the same thing in Palm Beach, a different kind of a group of people. Both of them, the thing that got the biggest hand, and you may have seen it on television, was when I said Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.”  1/

Hugh Hewitt @hughhewitt - “HH: That was big. The bigger was when you said these people are lunatics, because they are. 
DT: Well, I did. I actually, I wanted to be nice. I actually said these lunatics will not have a nuke. I wanted to be a little bit nicer. I wanted to clean up my act a little bit. But I said these lunatics will not have a nuclear weapon. Well now, I know you were watching. That’s very good. 
HH: Oh, yeah. Well, that’s who they are. I’ve got grandkids. I understand the stakes. These people cannot, they’re fanatics. They cannot have nuclear weapons. Do you think the country understands the stakes, Mr. President? 
DT: Well, I think they do, because you know, again, this was a pretty big sample. I’ll bet we had 35,000-40,000 people outside of the room where I was speaking where we had, I guess it holds about five or six thousand people, and then they had another room that was packed of equal size. And they had thousands of people outside. And they all went crazy when I said it. And now I said no tax on tips, I said no tax on Social Security for our seniors, no tax on overtime, and you know, that was great. But this blew it away. And then I see these fake polls that 32% of the public wants, meaning a lot more don’t want, and I think they probably the way they, you know, I could ask this question a lot of different ways. But if you just said to protect our country, and to protect the world, I mean, look, the Middle East, Israel and the Middle East would be wiped out within the first hour that they had it.
HH: Correct.
DT: And you know, the Iran nuclear deal that was given to us by Barack Hussein Obama, that was a shortcut to a nuclear weapon. And we would not have been able to live with that. They would have used it. We can’t allow this to happen.” 2/
