Discussion on Iran and Venezuela Policies

That President Trump must know that the resistance of the Iranian people

will only

increase in the face of sanctions, increased pressure,

and increased bullying, and

he said, "We will never bow our, or our heads or bend our

knees." Do you have a response to that today?

Yeah. I think slaughtering ten thousand of your

own people in protests, uh,

is a violation of the UN. I hope it's a violation of the UN

principles.

I think sponsoring terrorist organizations in the region to attack your neighbors,

attack energy infrastructure, attack civilian sites is a

violation of the UN system. So I don't know what standing Iran has to

lecture anyone on human rights or the international system

when they habitually

violate it. They violate the sovereignty of every one

of their neighbors by

sponsoring terrorist organizations that reside within the borders of those

countries. They slaughter their own people.

Uh, they violate rules that were, a-and, and sanctions that, that were

imposed by the international community against their nuclear weapons program.

So I, I just... Honestly, I don't know how you stand up there

and argue on behalf

of the international system when you are the world's leading, uh, the

world-leading violator of the international system.

That's what the Iranian system has been, unfortunately, sadly, tragically.

Mr. Secretary-

Okay, guys, I got one-- Time for one more. Go ahead, and I gotta go. Go ahead.

Lawmakers have been calling for the auditing report of the Venezuela oil

fund.

Yeah.

Um, do you intend to turn that over and let them-

Sure. No, and, and that's gonna happen. I mean, it has to be completed. This...

KPMG is doing that, and, um... But I can describe it to you
