00:00I was personally with the president last year when he sent a letter suggesting to the Iranians
00:06we enter into negotiations. That was over a year ago and before Midnight Hammer. We tried again
00:13through multiple around this year. This president has always put diplomacy first, but unlike his
00:19predecessors, it has to be backed with credible military force. That is what we've seen over the
00:26years. The only thing that regimes like Iran will ultimately respect. Otherwise, your diplomacy
00:33is feckless and meaningless if you don't have a strong, credible threat of military force behind
00:39it and a president who's willing to use it. That's one of the things that has gotten this
00:44these negotiations back on track.
