Have those sanctions in place. Let me ask this to the secretary. Is the president willing to make a clear and unequivocal statement not that all options are on the table, because iran does not believe thats a credible threat, that under no circumstances will iran be permitted to acquire a Nuclear Weapon . Secretary kerry . Did you hear my question . The i apologize this is my question. Is president obama willing to make a clear and unequivocal statement, not that all options are on the table, because i think if you talk to our intill against people iran does not believe there is a credible military threat that iran under no circumstances will be permitted to acquire a Nuclear Weapon. Absolutely. He has said that. He said all options are on the table the president has said very clearly under no circumstances will they be allowed to get a Nuclear Weapon and in fact i think ash carter reiterated very publicly, but can no im sorry. I have limited time. You have been with the iranians for t
Pleased that yesterday a member of your caucus acknowledges however, the full sentence was anytime, anywhere in the sense of a welldefined process with a welldefined end time so i am pleased that we have established that. In fact, the iaea can request access to any suspicious location with 24 hours notice under the Additional Protocol which iran will implement. The deal does not change that baseline. The issue if an agreement is not reached then when the iaea requests access the 24day clock will start. This is a new tool a finite time, a new tool for resolving disputes within what we think is a short period of time and short is defined because of our confidence in environmental sampling that we will be able to have to implement to detect microscopic traces of materials even after attempts are made to remove the evidence of activities with Nuclear Material. In fact, irans history provides a good example. In february of 2003, the iaea requested access to a suspicious facility in tehran,
Of broadcasteakout time. Breakout time in arms control is the time it takes to get a weapon. We have been dealing only with the amount of time it takes to get enough fissile material to produce one weapon. You still have to produce the weapon and most people dont guesstimate that a country is going to be satisfied with only one weapon and enough fissile material for one. Theres a lot of time beyond that. Weve been operating with a huge safety cushion here, and well have one year of broadcasteakout time for one fissile weapon for at least ten years and then it begins to tail down, but not as a cliff. It begins to tail down as we go through the next five years and thn were arriving at a point where iran has, hopefully, achieved normal status in the npt. I say hopefully because if they havent, the agreement hasnt worked in the sense theyve violated it and we go back to snapback and have the sanctions back in place. Can you answer whether all of our intelligence agencies are agreed on that
United kingdom, our strong ally support this . Yes. Does australia, one of our strongest allies support this accord . Yes. Does germany support this accord tphao yes. Does france support this accord . Yes. Does new zealand support this accord . I have not seen their statement. They are on the Security Council, and they voted for it. Oh, in the vote, yes. Either by voice support or a vote. Did jordan voice its support in their vote . Yes. Did spain, did nigeria and lithuania . Yes. You get the drift. If you were bamboozled, the world has been bamboozled. Thats ridiculous and unfair and wrong. You can disagree for sure with aspects of this agreement but i think we need to stay away from that kind of rhetoric. Now, i have the agreement right here and i have read it and one thing that i was surprised as i sat down to read it i thought you know, will i be able to understand this document. Its very understandable. I want to say cite a couple things in here. Iran reaffirms under no circumstan
He gave 2 billion to nih, which is more than 5 . Its 5 plus inflation. Pretty darn good, better than the house, but better than the president and he did it at the expense of a lot of other good things in the bill. Dont get me wrong. Im not happy with the way he approached it, but he was sensitized by the researchers in st. Louis. Washington university to the need for medical research. And i believe this crosses the spectrum. We have to reach the point where we take the research and innovation and say this is a special consideration of the United States and the future. Its not going to be to the same budget control rules as z other expenditures. Last night Steve Kornacki showed an interview about how you and he were gym buddies and turned marco rubio around on immigration and used the gym as a Hunting Ground to turn people over. Who are some of your targets that you might like to was Chuck Schumer lying . I go to the senate gym daily. He said that republicans go early and democrats go l
