diplomatic envoy to china back when nixon opened relates to china. is scott walker s approach the right one canceling the state dinner? i don t think so, but we need to be strong against china. we should use o fepsive taffeni to send a deterrent to china. there should be sanctions than what president obama proposed. there is many other tools we have without canceling a dinner. that s not going to change anything but we can be stronger as it relates to that. as it relates to iran, it s not a strategy to tear up an agreement. a strategy is how do we confront iran? the first thing we need to do is reestablish our commitment to rooir israel which has been tattered by this administration and make sure they have the most sophisticated weapons to send a signal to iran that we have israel s back. if we do that, it will create a healthier detour rant effect. i want to change the subject to the event you had
i want to turn to huckabee who s been very patient i d love to get in on this. i ve been patiently waiting. i m going to say this about iran. go ahead. i think it s incredibly important. this valely about the survival of western civilization. this is not just a little con niflict with a middle easte country that we ve just now given over $100 billion to, the equivalent in u.s. terms is $5 trillion. this threatens israel immediately and the entire middle east but threatens the united states of america and we can t treat a nuclear iranian government as if it is just some government that would like to have some power. this is a government that for 36 years has killed americans. they have kidnapped americans. they ve maimed americans. they have sponsored terrorist groups. hamas and hezbollah. and they threaten the very
essence of western civilization. to give them this agreement that the president treats like the magna carta, but the iranians treat it like it s toilet paper, and we must simply make it very clear that the next president, one of us on this stage, will absolutely not honor that agreement and will destroy it and will be tough with iran because otherwise we put every person in this world in a very dangerous place. jake, i d like we re going to turn now to hugh hewitt from salem radio network. thank you, jake. mr. trump, two years ago president obama drew a red line that the syrian dictator bashar assad crossed and president obama threatened to strike. he did not. hi knees buckled. we now have 4 million refugees. syria is a living hell and he turned to congress for the authority to back him up. you have three senators to your right who said no. do they bear responsibility for this refugee crisis and what would you have done when assad crossed that line?
that threaten israel and all the west, rip up the deals and put the sanctions back on. let me make it clear. if we think they re getting close to developing a nuclear weapon and we get that information, you better believe that i would do everything in my power as commander in chief to stop them having a nuclear weapon. we can have it and we can have our allies and be strong as a country and we can project across this globe with unity, not just doing it alone. that is not what gets us where we want to get as a nation. senator cruz? jake, there is no more important top pick in 2016 than this topic right here. i ve listened to several folks saying, gosh, if they cheat, we ll act. we won t know. under this agreement there are several facilities in iran they designate as military facilities that are off limit altogether. beyond that, the other facilities we give them 24 days notice before inspecting them. that is designed to allow them to hide the evidence and most astonishingly, this a
nuclear deal. why is that not as governor kasich said playing to the crowd and your experience? what president obama wants to do is he s run to the united nations and wants to use the united nations to bind the united states and take away our sovereignty. i spent 5 1/2 years as the solicitor general of texas, the lead lawyer for the state in front of the u.s. supreme court and i went in front of the supreme court and took on the world court in the united nations and we won in an historic victory saying the world court and the u.n. has no power to bind the united states and no president of the united states, republican or democrat, has the authority to give away our sovereignty and so if there s anyone up here who would be bound by this catastrophic deal with iran, they re giving up the core responsibility of commander in chief and as president i would never do that. governor kasich, did senator cruz just play to the crowd? let me just say this. first of all, i think it s a bad ag
