Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich spoke with Sean Hannity Wednesday night about President Trump’s “decisive moment in world history.”
Will Trump and the U.S. work with Israel to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities?
“Well, when historians look back and say ‘Did Donald Trump really make a difference?’ Think about this. The original Ayatollah Khomeini first started calling us the Great Satan in 1978. Iranian mobs began chanting death to America in 1979 when they seized, illegally, the American embassy,” Gingrich said.
“They have been taunting us, attacking us, harassing us all these years, through all these presidents, and finally they have collided with Donald J. Trump, and he’s crossed the line,” Gingrich added. “He and Netanyahu are partners, much like Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were partners, and the two of them are going to change history decisively. I believe they’re going to break the mullahs and the regime, create a new Iran, which will, in a decade, be dramatically more prosperous, be a neighbor, be accepted, be part of the region.”
“This would not have happened with anyone except Donald J. Trump. It’s obvious. This guy has the guts. He has the understanding. He actually follows the logic,” Gingrich said. “If you don’t want a nuclear Iran, then you’ve got to stop the mullahs, because as long as they’re there, there’s going to be a nuclear Iran, and he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to stop them. This will not be a forever war. This will be a brief, brutal, direct use of American power to end the regime and end the threat and make both the world and the Middle East safer.”
