RUSH: Here\u2019s a little bit of President Trump today from the speech. We\u2019ll start at audio sound bite number 6. He made a dramatic entrance. Oh! A lot of people are wondering why this particular area of the White House. This was not the Diplomatic Reception Room. It was not the Oval Office. It was not the East Room. It wasn\u2019t a room, actually. It was a hallway. I\u2019ll tell you where this was.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you remember watching some presidential prime time press conferences, you see the president come out of a door and walk down a long hall with a red carpet on it. It\u2019s in that hallway that this took place. The pillars are right there. The Drive-Bys are seated behind the pillars. There were some Drive-Bys that probably did not have a view of the president and the podium because they were behind a post, a column. So why was it there? Well, the decor of that area happens to be red and gold.<\/p>\n

In Middle Eastern culture, he who has the gold holds all the cards. Even the choice of location in the White House was a message to the mullahs and the terrorists in Iran — and do not doubt me on this. It\u2019s just like George H.W. Bush would never pronounce Saddam Hussein\u2019s name correctly. He always called it “SAD-um,” because in certain parts of Iraq the word “SAD-um” is the equivalent of a dirty shoe with animal feces on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So he pronounced Saddam\u2019s name “SAD-um,” and everybody said, “Does Bush really not know how this guy pronounces his name?” No, he knew. Just like Trump knew a lot of red and a lot of gold sends a signal to the mullahs: He who has the gold holds all the cards. The president came out in that setting and before even greeting the room told everybody that Iran will never get a nuclear weapon on his watch.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: As long as I\u2019m president of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Good morning. I\u2019m pleased to inform you, the American people should be extremely grateful and happy. No Americans were harmed in last night\u2019s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties. All of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases. Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.<\/p>\n
