00:14Suffice it to say that the nuclear question is the reason why we're in this in the first place.

00:20The straits is basically the equivalent of an economic nuclear weapon that they're trying to use against the world.
00:25And they're bragging about it. They're putting up billboards in Tehran bragging about how they can hold 25% or
00:3120% of the world's energy hostage.
00:33Imagine if those same people had access to a nuclear weapon. They would hold the whole region hostage.
00:38Well, again, that's the president's decision to make.
00:40I would start out by reminding everybody that the level of sanctions on Iran are extraordinary.
00:44The pressure on Iran is extraordinary. And I think more can be brought to bear.
