I don't know.

I mean, JD's negative charisma and unlikability are just highly contagious these days.

Wherever he goes, failure seems to stalk not far behind.

So what I heard is he did 21 hours in Islamabad.

Jared and Steve sort of running shotgun to his little operation.

The Iranians played hardball.

They agreed to continue to talk, and I think they're going back on Thursday.

The rumor that I heard was that the Iranians called it off and went back home because they didn't trust their communication not to be intercepted from our side, from Pakistan.

So in other words, they had to go back to Tehran, consult with the new supreme leader, Khamenei Jr.,

And then come back to with whatever their counterproposal was, which now I think is a 20 year halt on a nuclear.

But that's how it's working.

So, you know, this is one of the sticking points.

But, you know, the other thing to keep in mind, at the start of this caper, the only sort of sensible guy to listen to on anything is General Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

And he laid out very succinctly, I thought, three operational objectives.

Operational objective number one, eliminate the nuclear program.

Well, obviously, we didn't do that because that's why they're putting on the table, you know, five years and we're asking for 20.

And plus, they've got

You know, 900 pounds of the stuff buried underground or underneath the rubble.

And, you know, Donald Trump was talking about the nuclear dust and sending in commandos to come and exfiltrate it.

So that's one that we didn't quite get.
