I think the president was on the right track at the very beginning when he said that the objective was to make sure that they didn't have the capability to build a nuclear bomb. Now we've legitimized Iran being a nuclear threshold county, and that in and of itself Creates huge instability in the reap. This is an important step in putting the lid on Iran's nuclear program. President's announcement yesterday is just another in the series of his lies. That when he said yesterday, that inspections will happen in Iran anytime, anywhere. The agreement itself undercuts the President's position. They are laughing at us back in Iran. And why didn't we get our prisoners back? Why doesn't somebody say, where are our prisoners? Nobody's even talking about it. We have four people in prison that shouldn't be. Why couldn't they make that part of the deal? Well, I think this is one of the biggest disasters of the Obama- Clinton doctrine out there. I mean, and as President, on my very first day going forward, I would pull back, I would terminate that bad deal with Iran completely on day one. I would then put in place crippling economic sanctions against Iran and I'd convince our allies to do the same. This is not a country we should be doing business [ CROSSTALK ]. Very promising, I have yet to read the 100 page agreement, but I believe, even have long believed, that a negotiated settlement is the best. Best path forward here, provided that it is verifiable, it's enforceable, we cut off all paths to Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon. So I think there's a lot of promise here, and hopefully it is the beginning of a new day. They're going to get eighteen billion dollars under this deal, what do you think they're going to do with the money? They're going to put it in their war machine. This is a death sentence for the state of Israel if this does not change, because you're ensuring the Ayatollah will get a nuclear weapon. He doesn't want a power plant. He wants a bomb. The Iranians came to the negotiating table, if you will, in a very weakened state. And they are gonna leave with billions, hundreds of billions of dollars. The ability to project terror which they are the chief sponsor of terror. We've legitimized- With that I applaud the President, Secretary Kerry for their efforts. In a very crazy and dangerous world to create an agreement with Iran which prevents Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. This is a huge breakthrough. Obviously, the devil is in the details. All of us are going to study those details. But this is clearly a major step forward. The point is there's lots of reason to be suspicious here. There's lots of reason for Congress to really look at this and having, look I've never negotiated an Iranian nuclear deal, but I've negotiated a lot of high stakes deals and there are a couple rules, and every rule has been broken. If you want a good deal, you gotta walk away sometimes. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"2016 Candidates Speak Out On The Iran Deal","description":"2016 Candidates Speak Out On The Iran Deal","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/k9oXHx6b/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-07-15T22:22:47.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/k9oXHx6b.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/k9oXHx6b/","duration":"PT3M","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/k9oXHx6b/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
