Who knows?

I hate the prediction markets.

I know.

Well, but... I would also just...

In an effort.

To have something new to say today, we replay the tapes of all of the Republicans that have been critical of this or at least had some very serious questions that I think is fair when your country is engaged in a war that hasn't been pitched, sold to the American public and when the approval is so low.

And.

What I think about this evening's address is that the president is frustrated by the other messengers who have been out here talking about this, that he gets the feedback that the goals have not been properly communicated, that the American public doesn't understand

why he went in, why he did it this way, what we have accomplished and what the exit strategy is.

And then he thinks he is his best advocate and the best advocate for the American military and for our mission there.

And so he's out there doing it.

And the four goals that have been outlined, at least in what they leaked to the press, are even different from what Secretary Rubio said just two days ago, because on Rubio's list, he did not have anything about a nuclear weapon.

And that's back on the list.

Because that is the most important thing.

That's the thing that people can identify with.

You can't have a nuclear Iran.

Now, a lot of swirl about...

What the JCPOA had gotten us and whether we could have done a deal that was reminiscent of that, plus some extra checks.

I know that there are critics of that deal, even on the Democratic side.

That's out there.
