RUSH EXCERPT:MATTHEWS: "Well, depends how inclined he was in the first place. I mean, when J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio both said it was, I think it was Marco Rubio, the secretary of state’s word for what Bibi Netanyahu said in the Situation Room, actually saying that we are going to overthrow the regime over there. They’re going to topple. Where did that information come from? And what kind of a condition is that this set for? Oh, they’re not going to use the Strait of Hormuz because they will not be in power anymore. What a what a set of conditions to set up for an American president to say, I’m going to war on the condition that that regime will be overthrown, and therefore they can’t use the geography of the Strait of Hormuz against us. I mean, no one in that room accepted that the CIA director, the vice president, the secretary of state, nobody thought it was anything more than malarkey, as Joe Biden would put it. And he said Trump bought it. So why is Trump in the condition that he. I’m not sure. It’s a mental condition as much as it’s a arrogance. He thought he took over, you know, Venezuela, he made the vice president into somehow a surrogate president for us doing our bidding for a while. And he thought that that was a good example of how he could take over a country. But this regime is horrific. I was with it, as you pointed out, with Jimmy Carter. I was a speechwriter. I went through that hell with him. They determined that they waited till Jimmy Carter was defeated and out of office before they let the hostages gone. And Carter was not a big, violent guy by any means. Carter was not a hawk. He was a dove. He may have even been a pacifist. He didn’t believe in using military force to to crush that regime. And they took advantage of it. And this president has threatened him and hit him with everything they’ve got. We’ve basically worn them down from the air, and yet they’re surviving, and they keep shooting at us and and shooting at their neighbors. And I tell you, this regime, there’s a great phrase I learned from watching how the the British and the hessians talked about the American fighters in the revolution. They said, don’t despise your enemy too much. Don’t don’t despise them so much that you don’t fear them because they might just cross the Delaware river and beat you in trenton. And then in Princeton they can win battles, so don’t despise them too much. And I think the mistake we make with the Iranian government, they’re awful. They’re awful, but don’t despise them so much that you don’t fear what they can do, like they’re doing with the Strait of Hormuz."
