I think that perhaps Iran blinked.

All of a sudden we heard that they made a comment in a positive direction on nukes.

after he's saying, I don't want to do this, but I'm going to do this.

And the Kaiser associate principal says you have to, the other side has to think that you're 1% crazier than they are so that they become nervous.

And there's a lot of commentary that went around when Reagan was elected, that there were people inside the Iranian government at that time, and it was an early government,

It hadn't been around for 50 years.

It was the now volatile government.

But they actually thought Reagan was bonkers.

They thought he was insane and willing to use, you know, nukes and things.

And that got the hostage crisis moving.

So I think what happened is he went in with a hard negotiating position.

I think Iran blinked a little bit.

and said, okay, let's discuss this.

And I think there were other people working on it.

I think China was working on it, because now we know China is in a crude oil deficit right now.

They're in a shortage right now, and they're feeling true economic pinch.

So I think then he comes out with this, and finishing it up, showing that he can say...

He can say, F you on one hand, but then at the other side, he's saying, God bless the people of Iran.

He wants them to see that as well, Pat.

He wants the citizens to see that last line.
