00:00And considering that Iran is floating a new peace proposal, do you think this show of strength coming from President
00:07Trump or this pressure campaign might actually be working?
00:14Well, I mean, I do want to see the objectives, and I think most Americans, Democrats, Republicans, independents want to
00:24see the objectives achieved of restraining the behavior of the Iranian government and of the Iranian government not acquiring a
00:34nuclear weapon.
00:34I think that was probably better achieved by the agreement that the Obama administration negotiated than by a lot of
00:45what is being said and done now.
00:47So I would like to see the best goals of this administration achieved, but I think these goals are best
00:55achieved with different rhetoric and different actions, more outreach to the rest of the world, and a kind of rhetoric
01:06of restrained strength that has characterized the United States at its best, whether it was John Kennedy or Ronald Reagan.
