Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

You know what I mean?

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

The devil's in the details here and you're not giving us any of it.

Part Of The Problem

This pathetic change to, no, first of all, I've seen these $24 billion, $300 billion figures.

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

First off, there's no US money is going into that.

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

So I don't know where these figures come from.

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

Yeah, but no one claimed those figures were US taxpayer dollars.

Part Of The Problem

The $24 billion is frozen Iranian assets.

Part Of The Problem

Part Of The Problem

So it's just ridiculous to watch them –

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

change this uh the standard here just completely abandon the talking point i mean hey it's good that they're abandoning it it was to begin with but at the same time to say no it's different because it's not us dollars we're just giving them access to money but only if it's verified that they followed something that we're not going to tell you what it is they need to follow

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

Like, he didn't say it's tied to them diluting their enriched uranium.

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

He said it's tied to them not getting a nuclear weapon.

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

What does that mean, Rob?

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

Pretty vague.

Part Of The Problem
The War Is Lost

I'm telling you, though, man, I've been this is another prediction I've been making this whole time.
