onable amount of time in my opinion. And even Van Jones, who had worked on that process of allowing people to get out of jail earlier, he was praising Trump for picking Alice Marie Johnson as the pardon czar. Now I appreciate that. Now again I'm not telling you that Van Jones turned Republican or that everything he says next you're going to agree with. So it's not about that. It's just you know it…

I've got a feeling that Netanyahu is enjoying winning and he's never going to have a better chance for total victory. You know how they talk about total victory and you thought—not you but some people thought—oh and then when they're done with their total victory they'll build a two-state solution and move all the Palestinians and Hamas back into Gaza and they'll live happily ever after. Does that sound like total victory to you? No. No. There was never any intention because total victory is about the clearest statement of intention you could ever make. Total victory.
Now take that to what's going to happen with Iran. Do you think that Israel would say well we got total victory when all Iran is doing is building back its capability to do it to them again through their proxies? Nope. Let me explain it again. Total victory. Total victory. Total victory means that Iran can't do nuclear weapons one way or another. They're not going to stop until Iran has no nuclear program. How do I know that for sure? Well can the reporters ask me? Scott, what do you think Israel plans to do? Let's see. What does total mean? Does total mean we stop halfway and let them rebuild? Wait, wait, no. Total. Total. Okay I got it. Total victory. It means that they're going to destroy the nuclear program whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. Guaranteed. I think we've clearly left the domain of maybe. I think maybe's over now. There is a possibility that Iran will get that message too because someone could explain to them, do you know what total means? Have you heard of total? Yeah, total means they're going to solve the problem once and it's not coming back. And this would be the time to talk. And if there is some way that you can reach a non-military agreement and not develop nuclear weapons, you know we can talk about that because that would still be total and it would be the easiest way to get there. But now if you're wondering if Israel is bluffing, they're not. Total is total and they could not be more clear about it. So that's the beauty of being credible too.

l had not done everything that it's done so far, which is pretty darn impressive if you're just looking from a military perspective, you can make up your own mind about who's right and who's wrong in this and I don't even have an opinion. My opinion on the whole situation is that in the Middle East the strongest person gets what they want. Why would I need more of an opinion than that? That covers…
