Now, if you want to argue, well, people are afraid of saying what they really think once they know what Trump is likely to do.

There's an element of that in all boardroom discussions.

When you know what the CEO wants to do, there's a lot of people who can get themselves to justify it.

But Iran knows that J.D.

was not in favor of this action.

To me, that seems like it could be helpful to him in relationships.

Do you buy that?

Do you think the Iranian negotiators knowing J.D.

is not a hawk,

could actually make them more likely to deal with them?

Or do you even think it matters who the American negotiators are?

Carrots and sticks is a good way.

Another way is mom and dad.

It can be different depending on the situation.

Yeah, but do you want me to have to tell my dad about this?

And by the way, some of you out there are going to be like, do you want me to have to tell mom about this?

Because sometimes mom is the one that will swing the sledgehammer harder when it comes to kids.

Laura is way tougher on the boys than I am.

So it could be different depending on the family dynamics.

And also, by the way, what the kid has done.
