Some highlights…POTUS said "not everybody was on board" with mission to rescue U.S. serviceman in Iran: "There were military people, very professional, who preferred not doing it."
Reiterates Tuesday 8pm deadline for Iran: "We're giving them until tomorrow at 8 o'clock. And after that, they're gonna have no bridges, no power plants. Stone ages, yeah. Stone ages."
Calls Iran "bullshit artists": " "They're very good bullshit artists. For 47 years they've been bullshitting other presidents."
On whether he's winding down or escalating in Iran: "I can't tell you. I don't know."
When asked if he was willing to end the war with Iran charging tolls in the Strait of Hormuz: "What about us charging tolls? I'd rather do that than let them have 'em."
Criticized Japan, Australia, South Korea, and NATO for not helping U.S. more in Iran war: "it's not just NATO. You know who else didn't help us? South Korea didn't help us. You know who else didn't help us? Australia didn't help us. You know who else didn't help us? Japan."
