And I think that's – the barest critique is that it gave the Iranians a bit too much on that front or that we didn't – there should have been a bit more guardrails on how the money – and you remember Trump talking about the pallets of cash and all of that stuff.

And this is a case where I don't want it to get lost in an ends justifies the means scenario here where, okay, if Iran is able to become a fledgling democracy, say, by 2035, maybe by 2030, right?

Look, you are the type of member of Congress that I'm glad to know is there.

You're thinking about these things.

You're thinking about the institution.

You're thinking about what's the institution going to look like when you leave.
