It's good to be honest, to have an accurate self appraisal and know where you're at.

And I think for the Trump administration to even try to be making this argument that actually we're winning, we're getting all these concessions.

I think it's almost like you got to accept that there's no saving this.

There's no saving this presidency or defending this war.

Donald Trump would be better off if I was advising him to just point out how the media, the corporate media has such bloodlust.

You know, to just go, man, I launched the war, but look at these guys.

I mean, they would just have you fight the war forever.

Oh, look at, oh, CNN's criticizing the deal.

What's your position on what we should do, CNN?

Oh, I guess they, like, he'd be better off to just point out how much they all love war than to sit here and try to argue that he's got some amazing concessions out of Iran.

Again, this is, by the way, Rob, this is what you find yourself in a lot with this war, is you're getting into arguments over what the administration claimed versus what the reality is.

So, like, Donald Trump is claiming we've gotten around to agree to new on-the-ground nuclear inspections.

Well, that's not exactly clear that we've gotten that agreement.

But, Rob, really?

Even if we did?

Even if we did?

I mean, so what?

America's gotten this concession out of negotiations with Iran before.

Donald Trump had entered rounds of negotiations specifically where this was offered before.

This is no big, you know, the fact that this is even the thing he's lying about to try to spin this, that I got a thing that I could have gotten before, that Obama got before, that the international community had up until his 12-day war last year.
