There are so many things.

And as you pointed out, the Iranians are really are tough negotiators.

And with the decapitation of the senior leadership, it appears as though more hardline elements now have surfaced as being in charge of militaries, intelligence, security, as well as the government itself.

So this is going to be a really tough negotiation.

And I'm not really all that hopeful that the Iranians are going to concede any of those 15 points that supposedly the Trump administration now has put forward.

It says to me that the White House, senior White House staff and advisers are not doing their job.

They're just feeding Donald Trump's narcissism, his self-centered approach to everything.

And by just giving him videos of things blowing up, they're really not explaining to him.

And I don't know whether or not he can comprehend or even cares about just how badly things are going.

Yes, we can blow everything up.

Which is why when I think about going forward, Donald Trump is just so identified with this war that personally, I think the only path forward is the 25th Amendment.

And I'm being very serious.

As much as I don't like J.D.

Vance's policies, he is not somebody who's going to send U.S.

servicemen and women into battle needlessly.

And he's not going to sacrifice them.

He also, I think, is going to be better able to actually strike a deal with the Iranians to negotiate, because the Iranians, I think, are determined to embarrass Trump and to show that he is not going to win this war, that they are going to be the ones to emerge victorious.

And also, if Donald Trump continues to go down this path, we're going to lose a lot of American soldiers and the Republican Party is going to be destroyed in the process.

If the cabinet, if the members of the cabinet recognize just how badly things are going and watching that cabinet meeting yesterday, listening to Donald Trump talk for almost five minutes about Sharpies.

Yeah.
