WEBVTT - Hugh Hewitt: Trump Has the Leverage

0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>This is Hugh Hewett for town hall dot Com. Since

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the battle with Iran began on February twenty eight, there

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>have been so many reports of quote deals with the

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>rump regime atop the ruins of the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Guard Corps. It seems almost silly to respond to another one,

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>but I trust Israeli journalists and meet Segal. On Wednesday,

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Segal summed up the supposed framework. The most salient part

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>is said to include and I quote. Negotiations are still

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>underway on the duration of the Iranian enrichment freeze. Three

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>sources said the freeze would last at least twelve years.

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>One source estimated the final outcome would be fifteen years

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>end of quote. That in and of itself makes this

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>a terrible proposed deal, one that would draw fierce criticism

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>from the GOP's Iron Hawks, who want President Trump to

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 1>finish the job. No enrichment of Iranian period, and finish

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the job in dramatic fashion. President Trump doesn't surrender leverage.

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>He's got it. We have to hope he uses every

0:00:57.960 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>ounce of it.
