PRESIDENT TRUMP: When you add up the United States' oil and Venezuela's, we have over 50% of the world's oil. But think of it differently; we now have more than Saudi Arabia, Russia, and take the next largest country combined. Nobody even thought that was possible.

The video says (transcribed automatically):

took out the ISIS caliphate and you took out Soleimani and Baghdadi, dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan. No forever wars does not mean no military might. And it was Steve Whitcoff on this very program that said, Sean, and everybody else that gets the presidential daily briefing that I know that I interviewed said the same thing, that you had no choice, that both Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury were to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear war. Both Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury were to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and that this will come to an end. How can you assure the American people on that point tonight? Well, if you take a look, when they were, you know, the JCPOA, that was the Obama so -called nuclear deal, it was a disaster, it was a road to a nuclear weapon for Iran. And Iran is the number one state sponsor of terror anywhere in the world, and we're talking about for the last 50 years. What they did, they've killed so many of our soldiers, so many people. not only are people, but if you think of the SS coal, that was them. They've done this for years, and it was time for us to stop them. And we had a great period about seven months ago. I said, you know, we're going to have to do a little detour. We just got the best numbers, although I must tell you, our stock market's higher now than it was before this started, and our 401ks are higher. But I told my people we're going to have to do a little detour, a little journey to Iran, because we cannot let Iran, an evil nation, who's killed many of our people. Soleimani is an example, no longer with us, but killed many of our people. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon, and we won't. But think of a war. So we have a war with Venezuela. It lasted much less than one day, and we have hundreds of billions of dollars flowing into our country, and we have total control of Venezuela, and we get along great with them. We put our people, we put people there and we have, you know, tremendous oil. When you add up the United States oil and the Venezuela, we probably have over 50 % of the world's oil. But think of it differently. We have now more than Saudi Arabia, Russia and take the next largest country combined. And nobody even thought that was possible. I got Greenland. Greenland, everybody said, oh, he'll never get it, he'll never. we got Greenland, you know that we got Greenland, we got Greenland, you know that. We got Greenland, we signed with Denmark, the European Union was great, they were all good, they wanted to make me happy, we got Greenland, it's worth trillions of dollars. And so many other things we've done, but think about the war you're talking about. We bombed out with Midnight Hammer, we bombed out all of their potential nuclear power. Now we might have to go after pickaxe, but that's not a big deal, we can do it in, literally, we can do that in one hour, okay? as soon as we want, at any time we want. You know, look, their military is gone, their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their anti -aircraft is gone, and they have some missiles, but they don't have many, and they have very little capacity to build more.
