Q: Is the USS Roosevelt going to replace one of the two carriers that are there, or are there going to be three carriers in the region?

Hegseth: It’s a fair question, but I’ll never answer it.

Trump’s going to have options. Let’s put it that way.

Hegseth on Iran:

We can hold the blockade as long as we need to.

Trust me, we can adapt that as necessary.

Hegseth on Iran:

Now is the moment where they can decide to give it up the way that they should, without any leverage that they have, or it may have to happen the hard way.

Two Iranian diplomats were expelled from the U.S. after ignoring repeated State Department orders to leave following the UN General Assembly.

One left New York on Friday night and the other on Saturday morning, according to a U.S. official.

Trump on Iran:

We have a decision that I’ll make about Iran. We’ll have it the easy or the hard way.

Trump on Iran:

By the way, Iran, as you know, has virtually given up any plans of a nuclear weapon.

Trump:

Changing clocks discombobulates everybody.

Hegseth on Iran:

Iran wants to play games with things like the Strait of Hormuz. They don’t control it. We do.

Trump:

BUILD IN AMERICA, HIRE AMERICAN WORKERS, AND PRICE DRUGS FOR AMERICAN PATIENTS FAIRLY — OR PAY. I LOVE OHIO!

Trump:

They've arrested me, and they even tried to kill me, I guess.

Trump:

Just get out and vote. If you do that, we're going to win, and we're going to win big. And we're going to shove it up their ass, okay?

Trump:

I didn't even know what the hell a vegan was. A vegan is vegetables.

Trump:

It's too much winning. We're winning too much. I can't take it anymore.

Trump:

Europe wants to copy us. Everybody wants to copy us.

Trump:

We have almost no inflation, by the way.

Trump:

Somebody said, "Why is he being nice to Xi?" Isn't it nice to get along with the leaders of massive nuclear nations?

Trump:

Xi got off the plane, and he said, "Boy, have you done a job. Wow!" They can't believe it.

Trump on North Korea:

I get along great with Kim Jong Un of North Korea. When people have 112 nuclear missiles, it's nice to get along.

But here's the difference: Iran will never have a nuclear missile.

Trump:

Artificial is fake, like the press is artificial.
