He doesn't want that.
I don't think he doesn't need to be anywhere near that.
So there is obviously stuff that we don't know.
I still think that there's a short-term problem, which is not just the threat that Iran poses to Israel, but there's a threat that Iran poses to the rest of the Middle Eastern community.
That neighborhood is a complicated place.
There was an interview that MBS did on Saudi television.
Nick, maybe you can find it.
It's in Arabic, but there's a good version of it that I saw with subtitles.
And if you hear the MBS's telling of what the Iranian threat is, it's not dissimilar to how the Israelis would characterize the threat.
And so I think it's important to understand that unpredictable actors
should not be given an opportunity to have a cataclysmic weapon that can just completely destroy the Earth as we know it.
That just doesn't make sense.
And I think if you can intervene to prevent that, we're now aware of the damages of what this can do to enough of a degree
where there should be enough of nuclear disarmament from here on out.
The six, seven, eight, nine countries that have it, okay.
There's all kinds of reasons why maybe we could have remade those decisions over the intervening 70 years.
Maybe there's some that we never should have let have it.
The Pakistan-India thing is a good example of one.
But we are where we are.
And I think we can all agree no more countries should incrementally get access to this thing.
