[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=6) Well... Yeah, I mean, look, he was a terrible person, but that's beyond the point.

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=9) The bigger question is, should we have gone to war in the first place?

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=12) So- Look, I, I just wanna be clear with you, right?

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=13) I mean, I'm never gonna defend the Iranian regime, but I am gonna defend the idea that we probably shouldn't be fighting wars we don't know how to get out of.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=21) Oopsie, you go to war, and you tell us that it's gonna be a special military operation.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=25) That was in February. We're now in September almost, and we're still fighting the special military operation.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=31) I mean, it's not working for us, Jesse. Well, we're not really fighting it.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=33) And this is exactly what happens- It's a blockade ... when you got a dunce in the White House who doesn't know what he's doing.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=37) So you'd go back in time, you'd give them back their nuke program?

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=41) You'd give them back their Air Force, their Navy?

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=43) No, I'd go, I'd, I'd go back- 'Cause the nuke program's buried under a mountain of rubble ...

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=45) No, I'd go, I'd, I'd go back- 'Cause the nuke program's buried under a mountain of rubble ... I'd go back to the time when we were at peace and we actually had nuclear containment.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=46) 'Cause the nuke program's buried under a mountain of rubble ... I'd go back to the time when we were at peace and we actually had nuclear containment.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=46) 'Cause the nuke program's buried under a mountain of rubble ... I'd go back to the time when we were at peace and we actually had nuclear containment.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=49) Now, Jesse, you like to... I mean, look, I, I understand selective memory about history, but we had a JCPOA that was well-negotiated, that actually had, uh, nuclear non-proliferation far more securely than- All right ... what we have right now after having gone to war for the better part of six months.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=63) Yeah, I like the fact that the nuke program's buried under a mountain of rubble.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WIhBBsle6Cc6/en/debate-over-the-iran-war-and-the-jcpoa-nuclear-deal?t=66) They can't even get access to it, but that's me.
