00:00President Trump is calculating the risk in the election.
00:03He still has all the power he needs after the election to do whatever he wants.
00:08So he's walking this slowly, using all levers of pressure.
00:14And I think I have every confidence in this administration.
00:17Scott Besson, he's got the experience.
00:19He knows how to put the squeeze on.
00:22And, you know, I'm always cautious about exaggerations.
00:27Economic D-Day, I think, is a bit of a bigger label than we should put on this.
00:32But you cannot deny the effect of these crippling sanctions, the pressure on other countries.
00:39China is going to come to, at the end of the day, is going to come to the cost and
00:43benefit of supporting.
00:45Let me just remind ourselves that at the most critical moment at the Security Council,
00:50China did not come to the rescue of the Islamic Republic.
00:54Russia did not come to the rescue of the Islamic Republic.
00:57They have milked the Islamic Republic because of the institutionalized corruption that cannot go on.
01:04That's another reason.
01:05If you want to join the community of countries in the world,
01:10you have to get rid of this institutionalized corruption that is not going to go away
01:15unless the entire system makes an institutional change.
01:19So it's not an ideological thing.
01:22It's not regime change.
01:23This regime in Iran will not be able to transact normally with the world if it doesn't change.
01:30And it seems like the two distinguished guests on this program are convinced that the Islamic Republic is going to
01:39win this.
01:39Okay.
01:40I'm not convinced.
01:42The Islamic Republic is the loser.
01:44We'll be the loser.
01:44No matter how much we trumpet good stuff, everything's okay.
01:48We'll be the other one.
01:49We'll be the sós.
01:51We'll be the nênizable.
