We did it.

Their nuclear program is destroyed.

Now we don't have to worry about that anymore.

But that's not true.

Now there's every reason to believe and we don't know for sure.

There's every reason to believe that at least is much more likely now.

That the Ayatollah will change his mind about God changing his mind and will say that actually maybe we do need a nuclear deterrent.

That's really what it's been for this whole time is a bluff.

We have bullets in one pocket, revolver in another.

Let's not you and me fight and escalate this thing.

It's the same position, by the way, as Japan and Germany and Brazil.

Two of the three of those are under America's nuclear umbrella, I admit, but still, where they've proven they've mastered the fuel cycle and they can make nuclear weapons.

But hey, since nobody's directly threatening them now, why escalate things and go ahead and make atom bombs?

That has been their position the whole time, because after all, they could not break out and make a nuke without everyone in the world knowing about it.

And that's why, Lex, I'm sure you can vouch for me on this.

If you've been watching TV over the past few weeks, you'll hear Marco Rubio and all the government officials and all the warhawks say, oh yeah, 60%, 60%.

What do you think they need with that 60%?

Implying that, oh yeah, see, they're racing toward a bomb.

But you see how they always just imply that?

They won't come right out and say that because it's a ridiculous lie.
