He said, it's maybe the biggest event that has ever taken place. Nobody could believe it. So that's when it started. It didn't start like three or four or five weeks ago. And Obama wouldn't do it. What Obama did was he did the JCPOA. He loaded up a plane with $1,700,000,000 in green cash from banks all over Washington, Maryland, and Virginia. They were stripped of all their cash. They had no cash to do payrolls. (09:35–09:42)
