way to make sure obama brought the deal to congress was actually going to make it easier for the iran deal to go through and thus was. the cons sturgs requires two-thirds of senate to ratify a treater. under the corker bill, only a majority of each house to disapprove the treaty, effectively meant you needed one-third of each house for obama to approve that treaty. in the end democrats filibusters and didn t allow a vote in the senate. the corker bill basically undermined the constitution paved the way for the iran deal to have appearance of approval in congress. again, one warned as informed as you about this, the president tweeted something that implied corker supported the iran deal when, in fact, he didn t p. you have to look at his words. didn t say corker supported the deal. gave him a win, something, he said? basically made it possible. didn t support it, though. i think the president, going to parse words, at least be honest about what he said. i think that s something we
let s face it, he was very critical of corker and he was exactly right in everything he said about the corker deal, he turned the constitution upside down, the iran deal was a treaty. the corker bill, it took two-thirds to vote it down. the president has throughout the campaign been very consistent and been exactly right. that was a terrible deal for the united states. we give them $100 billion or so in cash that they can use, i was just at the funeral of one of my constituents who was killed by an ied in iraq and we know most of them were made in iran, you can t help but wonder that some of the money that president obama sent back overseas being used to kill my constituents? it s a grievous harm that was done by the iran deal. thank god the president is i
far. the healthcare, he s so adamant that he s going to get something done. but then there s iran. then there s north korea. there are serious dangerous issues out there. what does the next year look like for this president? look, i think this is the most dangerous period since the cuban missile crisis because of north korea. i think the president will continue to increase the pressure on north korea. and you can see the north koreans, just sent a letter this week to the australians complaining because the sanctions are toughening, getting tougher and tougher. i think with iran, i thought the president was very courageous and did exactly the right thing. he decertified but did not break the arrangement. he said basically look, the congress now needs to look at it. the corker bill allows the congress to have 60 days to look at it. i hope they are going to do two big things. i hope they are going to say the iranians have to allow inspection of military facilities and there s no deadlin
creating a deal with iran where they were not be moving forward to create to acquire a nuclear weapon before we had this deal. we had no visibility. we had no insight into what they were doing. and what they and what they were doing with their nuclear capacity. now we do. the breakout capacity was two months, now it s over a year. we know exactly what they re doing because we have a monitoring mechanism. the problem with what he had to say today, there were a lot of problems. one of them was he didn t lay out any strategy, he laid out the history of iran. what most experts will tell you is that there is no evidence that doing away with the comprehensive deal that everyone says is working except for perhaps president trump is going to help us negotiate any of the other pieces, it actually hurts our leverage. he says he doesn t want congress to act, people have said he said that, now we re in a very risky place. there is a corker bill that is out there and that would violate the deal
looking, it has the appears of taking action but for all intents and purposes nothing is fundamentally changing. sure. he is trying to spotlight the nonnuclear aggression of iran. he is using this nuclear agra t agreement to do that. 60 votes needed in the senate. and that would mean the republicans would rely on democratic help which it would be very difficult to see how they would get that. what changes might they want to make? would it just be conditions? there are are two sets of things that they will be looking for. one is, a variety measures that are aimed at iran s behavior outside the nuclear deal. like human rights or whatever it may be. and within their prerogative under the deal to do that. as long as they are respecting sanctions relief under the nuclear deal. now for the nuclear deal itself, there is a bill. a corker bill that is set that
