GUTSY MOVE: Sen. Rick Scott backs Trump after Iran leadership eliminated

Published | Video Starts at 01:45

We're making the world a safer place. But we're going to finish this. And if we don't, we'll be doing this in five years and 10 years. I've talked to Secretary Ribio. The Iranian negotiators were stubborn. They were arrogant. They had no interest in giving up any of their weapons. They wanted to continue to enrich nuclear weapons. They wanted to continue to build missiles. They were building about 100 missiles a month and it's, they've got an unbelievable stockpile. (01:45–01:51)
