I have hope.

I hope and I pray.

If anybody, if any leader can change his mind and change it decisively and rapidly, it's President Trump and then sell it to the American people.

There's a lot of red lines.

I know you and Tucker discussed them that we need a total surrender.

There has been a lot of bellicose rhetoric

Um, that, that gives me concern because total surrender, it means only like one of two things.

Like we're going to go in and ground invade for the next, I don't know, however long it takes to conquer Iran.

I don't want to find out.

Or we're going to use, you know, something more drastic like a nuclear weapon or allow the Israelis to do so.

Um, however, if anyone can turn that around, it is president Trump because he is decisive.

People take him seriously.

The Iranians will take him seriously and the Israelis will take him seriously.

So look, I still have a lot of hope.

I think it's possible.

Joe, what's your assessment of the use of a nuclear weapon?

Do you believe that it's a possibility by the United States or by Israel?

By the United States, I would say it's relatively low.

However, the Israelis are the wild card.

If you would have asked me before they shot cruise missiles or they shot ballistic missiles at Qatar when we had active negotiations going on, I would have said there's no way they would do that.
