00:00A couple of generals. So we have an army of 250,000 in Syria, and you had an army of 400,000.
00:06They have many more people than that. Turkey is a major force, by the way. And
00:10Erdogan is somebody I got along with great. He's a very smart guy. They've wanted it for
00:14thousands of years, and he got it. And those people that went in are controlled by Turkey.
00:24Honor what he did. He said, if anybody goes across the red line, and Assad
00:28killed many more children after that, and Obama did nothing, but I did.
00:33I hit him with a lot of missiles. Well, you know, we had 5,000 troops along the border,
00:38and I asked a couple of generals. So we have an army of 250,000 in Syria, and you had an army
00:44of 400,000. They have many more people than that. Turkey is a major force, by the way. And
00:49Erdogan is somebody I got along with great. But he has a major military force, and his has not been
00:55a worn out with war. It hasn't been worn out with all of the other thing. I mean,
01:00he's built a very strong, powerful army. And so we have 5,000 soldiers in between a 5 million
01:07person army and a 250,000 person army. And I asked the general,
01:13what do you think of that situation? He said, they'll be just they'll be wiped out immediately.
01:19And I moved them out because and I took a lot of heat. And you know what happened? Nothing.
01:25Nothing. I saved a lot of lives. Now we have 900. They put some back. But 900,
01:32if you're talking about two now that one of the sides has been essentially wiped out, but
01:37nobody knows who the other side is. But I do. You know who it is? Turkey. Okay. Turkey is the one
01:43behind it. He's a very smart guy. They've wanted it for thousands of years, and he got it. And
01:50those people that went in are controlled by Turkey. And that's okay. It's another way to fight.
01:59But no, I don't think that I want to have our soldiers killed.
02:03But I don't think that will happen now anyway, because the one side's been decimated.
02:13Or do you think it will? Well, nobody knows what the final outcome is going to be in the
02:17region. You know, nobody knows who really the final. I believe it's Turkey. And I think Turkey
02:22is very smart. He's a very smart guy, and he's very tough. But Turkey did an unfriendly takeover
02:31without a lot of lives being lost. I can say that Assad was a butcher here. What he did to
02:36children. You remember, I attacked him with the 58 missiles, unbelievable
02:44missiles coming from ships 700 miles away, and every one of them hit their target. But I did
02:50that. That was the red line in the sand. Obama drew it, and then he refused to honor what he
02:55did. He said, if anybody goes across the red line, and Assad killed many more children after that,
03:00and Obama did nothing, but I did. I hit him with a lot of missiles. In fact, President Xi was
03:06sitting here the night he was in that dining room having chocolate cake. Remember the famous
03:12chocolate cake? And that's when I explained what we were doing as the missiles were shot.
03:17And it was amazing as to precision, because every one of those missiles.
