brought in and are happier with this approach with the united states doing different things. katie? quickly, the president was thinking about labeling the islamic revolutionary guard a foreign terrorist organization. yes. the reason they are not doing that, according to secretary rex tillerson who we had a chance to talk to in advance of the president s speech, is that there might be instances kind of on the world stage where the united states or our allies could interact with the iranian revolutionary guard in ways that if you designate them as a terrorist organization would compel certain actions. that is not necessarily in the interest of the united states or some of our allies. they re taking a step to cut off their financing ability for terrorism. again, it s more nuanced and more subtle than we re accustomed to with the trump white house, but that s the reasoning behind not going quite so far even though many believe they re actively engaged in supporting terrorists. kelly,
today, we re going to do the iran deal nullification. what s next? are we going to pull out of nato next? i can t wait. this is nationalism according to the president. david, the president sees this as a win. why does he see it as a win? well, the president likes to disrupt, he likes to destabilize and toss grenades. when he does, he sees that as shaking things up and calls it a win. i disagree a little bit with governor richardson. i don t think this is the nullification of the iran deal. the president has opened the possibility that he would terminate the deal if iran doesn t agree to changes. i don t think iran will agree to changes. that s down the road. i just would note a really interesting point about this european statement that you read at the outset of our segment. the europeans are expressing strong disagreements with president trump s announcement, yes. that s important. but it s also interesting that iran had said i ve been told by
he was saying that he may, in fact, still pull out of the deal. wants to compel iran to do something differently. here s what the president had to say. we will see what happens with iran. we re very unhappy with iran. they have not treated us with the kind of respect that they should be treating they would love me to stay in for one reason. look at the kind of money being sent. iran is spending money in various countries. i ve always said it and i say to them, don t do anything, don t worry about it. take all the money you can get. they re all friends of mine. actually emanuel called up and he talked to me and i said, look, they just gave renault a lot of money. take their money, enjoy yourselves. but we ll see what happens. iran has to behave much differently. there the president is talking about some of the relationships he has with
addressed reporters with melania. he is doing everything he can right now to, again, dismantle president obama s legacy. what is the strategy? well, it s a fire hose friday here at the white house. two speeches and now an impromptu q and a with reporters where the president, appearing a bit more confident after his big speeches today. ready to articulate some of the reasons behind this. defensive on issues related to health care. for example, saying that the csr payments, which have been part of the aca and known as obamacare to supplement insurance companies to help them provide lower premiums to those with lower incomes. he is cutting those out. he defended that as saying it is for the insurance companies. he ignored the questions about the impact on real people who need that health care and can t afford it without some sort of subsidy. the president also talking about iran laying out his laying out his view on that.
