College and bellwether. I have spoken with supporters of doug jones and roy moore. They are aware of the meaning that this race has taken on. We should note that charles barkley, the nba legend has campaigned with doug jones last night trying to bolster africanamerican turnout for democrats in a state that has not elected a democrat governor nor senator in decades. Steve bannon, the president ss chief strategist campaigning with roy moore. He spoke for 30 minutes of the final campaign rally. He hardly mentioned roy moore. He noted a vote was needed for roy moore to help president aump, in order to accomplish just late of goals. Within the last hour, headlines crossing the bloomberg terminal about senator rand paul who is on the fence about the president s texture from legislative agenda. Tot poses significant risk the president trying to get down tax reform if people like senator rand paul as well as soon it senator susan collins. So much being decided in the special election. Shery se
Voting, we have to weigh those risks. Absolutely. And at least the agreement in front of me limits the risk. It is a completely unlimited risk. You may be right. They wont do that. What if youre wrong. What if in fact they will. There is a hard line as you pointed out in teheran. They are licking their chops to see this agreements falling apart. I think from all of the elements in iran they want this agreement because it is so good for them economically and it strengthens their position in the middle east. Doesnt do anything to stop them from supporting and in fact it helps them support their proxies throughout the region more than now. I want to agree with you that i cant predict whatll happen. I cant predict with certainty anymore than anybody can whatll happen if Congress Rejects the agreement. I can just say from what i have seen this morning and based on what i saw come out of lozan in april, this disagreement has more risk for the u. S. And more reward for iran than i hoped it wo
You can resite the litany in which they are justified that unfortunate conclusion. The one way to have confidence in the agreement is if the verification inspections provisions of it were air tight anywhere, any time but they are not. They create a whole negotiating process, as we said, 14 days, 21 days, appeal to a board. It is an invitation to the iranians to on advice kate and if they are caught with something wrong to get the time to get it out of the view of the international inspectors. In the area of in spectors whatever you are inspecting giving notice to whoever you are going to inspect always allows them to hide or fix the problem before you get there. It seems to me with 24 days, would you be able to hind the grand canyon or something. I find that as a problem. Big picture is it still the policy of iran today to destroy the United States . Well, until we hear otherwise, i think we have to say it is. And israel as well. And israel. And now you notice that last fridays demonst
And one of the reasons they oppose this agreement, and i invite you to talk to the Intel Community about that is that they see themselves losing the cover of the Nuclear Umbrella that they had hoped to have for their that fair rows activities. Theres nothing here to prevent us from bushing back going forward. Were all free to Work Together to build the pushback against the destabilizing activities. But let me ask you a simple question, is iran empowered more destabilizing the region with a Nuclear Weapon or stripped of that ability with an International Agreement it has to live up to, and us coming in underneath with a whole set of other security arrangements and pushback . I think the answer is crystal cheer. You asked what happens with respect to year 15. Under the modified 3. 1 code, please focus on what happens. Theres not some sudden breakoff at the end of 15 years. They are under remarkable restraints specifically the comprehensive safeguards agreement they have to negotiate with
Provides a new tool for resolving such disputes within a short period of time so the iaea gets the acis needs within 24 days. This is the first time there is a cutoff in time. But of course most important to complement that is environmental sampling provides sensitive measurement of microscopic measurements of Nuclear Materials even after attempts are made to remove the material and in a 2003 example found undeclared Nuclear Material even after iran denied access for six months. The combination of the measures and the coherence of the p5 1 dram dramatically increase the risk. For example any attempt to enrich to highly enriched uranium at any time must earn a sharp response by any means. A steep response must be clear from the start for any violation of the agreement. The blocking the covert path i should emphasis will always rely of course on the work of the American Intelligence Community and those of our friends and our allies. The deal is based on science and analysis. Because of t
