Liz Cheney: Obama’s Iran Deal ‘Ensures’ Iran Will Have ‘an Entire Nuclear Arsenal’
HANNITY: “Yes. And he's said as much, Liz.”
L. CHENEY: No, he has. And I think one of the reasons that you're seeing sort of, you know, disaster after disaster around the world is this idea that he has, this ideology that he has is coming crashing up against reality. And you know, you mentioned having his finger on the nuclear button. He seems not to recognize the difference, frankly, between a situation in which the United States has a nuclear arsenal and Iran has access to, or a pathway to a nuclear arsenal. He's said as much. He said that –“
HANNITY: “Well, he said the breakout time will be 10 years.”
L. CHENEY: “Right.”
HANNITY: “It'll be zero in 10 years.”
L. CHENEY: “Yes. But he also has said, you know, that no nation has the right to tell other nations whether they can have nuclear nations. And what his agreement really does is ensure that Iran will, in fact, have not just one nuclear weapon but an entire nuclear arsenal. And a 10-year period assumes they don't cheat. And clearly, the historical record is –“
HANNITY: “They cheat.”
L. CHENEY: “-- they cheated every single time.”
HANNITY: “Here's the deal to me, Mr. Vice President, $150 billion the Iranians get, the number one sponsor of terror. During the negotiations, the Iranians said that the destruction of Israel is non-negotiable.”
D. CHENEY: “Right.”
HANNITY: “They were burning American flags, threatening America, threatening Israel. Number one state sponsor of terror -- they continue conventional weapons building. They're doing a deal now for missile defense with Russia.”
D. CHENEY: “S-300s.”
HANNITY: “They build their ICBMS so they can launch the missiles and maybe reach the United States. And I'm thinking we didn't even get four American hostages out of this deal. Is there one thing America got out of this deal?”
D. CHENEY: “Not that I can think of, as I look at it all the way down. And what he set out as his objectives -- no nukes for Iran. Well, that's gone by the boards. No enrichment by the Iranians. That's gone by the boards. Every concession that got made was made by Barack Obama to the Iranians, and it shows in the final result. We've talked about the situation with respect to the nuclear situation, but look over at the stuff they did at the last minute on the side on conventional weapons, on ballistic missiles.”
HANNITY: “Do we even know every side deal?”
D. CHENEY: “No, we don't know if there are some side deals we don't know about.”
HANNITY: “That's scar, too. You liken this deal to the Munich pact. And that is, Neville Chamberlain, peace with honor and peace in our time. No such thing was ever going to happen. I say there's a simple formula, A- squared, B-squared equals C-squared, 1 and 1 equals 2. I think radical Islamic mullahs with weapons of mass destruction equals a modern-day Holocaust. Am I wrong or am I right?”
L. CHENEY: “No, I mean, sadly, Sean, I think that that's -- that's a very real potential. You know, Charles Krauthammer has pointed out that an Iran armed with nuclear weapons could be able to kill six million Jews, the population of Israel, in a day, something that it took Nazi Germany six years to do. So you know, you have a situation where this deal actually makes war more likely, not less likely. Everything the president said about it isn't true. And he's now out there saying those of us who oppose the deal want war. But I think it's important for people as they begin to think about how they're going to vote on this deal to recognize that a vote for the deal means a vote to give hundreds of billions of dollars to the world's worst sponsor of terror, a vote to give them access to ballistic missile technology, conventional weapons –“
HANNITY: “Crazy! They spin their centrifuges.”
L. CHENEY: “-- and an arsenal of nuclear weapons.”
