Michael Waltz: Iranian Protesters Need to Know We Have Their Back

‘President Trump stands the basic premise that Obama never got and that’s that you have to stand up to bullies’

EXCERPT:

KILMEADE: "First off, the initial challenge goes out to Iran. We have another window of opportunity. This starts with young people in rural areas rising up because their life isn’t great and it could be a lot better and they blame the government. Do you like what the president is doing diving right in directly?"
WALTZ: "Hey, Brian. Yeah, I do like what is he doing. And -- and -- and you know, President Obama missed a huge opportunities in 2009 as -- as we've discussed. These protesters need to know that we have their back, that the United States is going to lead and the United States is going to engage and not just leave them hanging for this murderous regime to -- to suppress. And, you know, we've seen this work time and time again, this strategy of supporting dissent and opposing dictators, going back to Reagan who -- who supported folks across eastern Europe and supported folks fighting against the Soviet Union."
