5:50 long.  Andrea Mitchell is the interviewer.

I can't tell you what else he said - the double talk made it incomprehensible.

He's basically saying that a bad deal is better than no deal.  Problem is, it's not even close to what you can call a deal.  It's a non-binding political agreement between the UN P5 and Iran.  Think about how silly that is.  You've got the US trying to get assurances on nuclear weapons with the assistance of two fair weather friends (UK and France), two of our biggest geopolitical foes (Russia and China), and an openly hostile terror state (Iran).  It'd be funny if the stakes weren't so high.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

If Trump does nothing more than get rid of this horrible deal it alone would justify his election.

I thought we said that about anyone but Hillary.

And Gorsuch.

And federal judges.

And regulations.

And tax cuts.
