And one of the things I've seen with the President of the United States in the last few weeks, and frankly, some of the criticism that we've gotten even from our friends, is they're constantly trying to change the mission that Donald Trump set us up to achieve [the objective to destroy their conventional military, eliminate their ability to project power, and ensure they never have a nuclear weapon]. And what did he say? He said at the outset, I wanted to destroy their conventional military. I want to eliminate their ability to project power, and I want to ensure that they never have a nuclear weapon ever. (36:23–36:30)
