And the same thing happened when we saw 9/11. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=23) That was because of the United States' involvement in, in the first Gulf War, and had a long-term effect. [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=28) You're blaming the US for 9/11? I'm not blaming the United States. [0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=30) I'm saying that- Sounds like it ... I'm saying that... What? Well, let me finish. [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=32) Sounds like it. I'm saying that when we take actions across the world, that there are consequences that we don't anticipate that can happen years later. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=40) And so when we wonder why people are coming after us and attacking us, it's because maybe because we're attacking them. [0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=44) I just wanna go back to 9/11 for a second. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=46) The idea that the United States had it coming- Never said that ... is insane. [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=50) Never said it. Okay. Don't put words in my mouth. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=52) You did. No, no, no. You literally and I- I never said that. [0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=55) Okay, but that wasn't the question. But number- Let's, let's have a new conversation He did okay that. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=57) Let's have a new conversation. He did okay with that. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=58) I'm sorry. Okay? I'm, I'm not gonna lie. [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=59) So you- I won't sit here and lie about what I just said ... you, you said we did something- ... and that caused it. [1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=62) ... and that caused it. Scott, I don't even know why you're, why you're, why you're- Okay. I mean, we're gonna roll the tape later- Yeah ... and everybody's gonna see. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=67) Because this, this, the reason... I know why you're doing this. [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=68) Because this allows you to deflect attention from the fact that your president, Donald Trump, has no idea what he's doing in Iran. [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=74) He's caused the death- Sure he does ... he's caused the deaths of, of, uh, of seven US service members, of 140, as I said- He caused it? [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=80) ... 100 and, 170- Yes ... school children. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=82) He's the commander in chief You don't think Iran caused it? [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=82) You don't think Iran caused it? ... 140 injuries in, in this country of US service members as well. [1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=87) Who caused- We've got, we've got American citizens who are stranded in the Middle East. [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=89) Abby, Abby, you're talking about unintended consequences. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BTxBttqWjNjN/en/us-iran-debate-9-11-foreign-policy-and-trump?t=90) Embassies being attacked. You do a great PR for him.
