Iran has given us no reason to trust them. Not at all. Not for the past 47 years. The Iranian regime is captured by religious zealots who do not care about their people. President Trump just recently mentioned 45,000 freedom fighters, 45,000 of their own citizens murdered for speaking up for freedom. And these are people who have relied on Western, Western European appeasement that frankly, Americans are sick of. We are sick of continuing to being threatened on our homeland. (03:44–03:53)

CLAIM
