KILMEADE All right Our ░░░░░░░░ guest has been against ░░░░░░░░ negotiations from the very ░░░░░░░░ and was behind the ░░░░░░░░ to Iran telling them ░░░░░░░░ to engage with the ░░░░░░░░ House Arkansas Senator Tom ░░░░░░░░ joins us right now ░░░░░░░░ we re at this ░░░░░░░░ it seems to be ░░░░░░░░ breaking point We ve ░░░░░░░░ the talks your reaction ░░░░░░░░ I have to go ░░░░░░░░ to what Elizabeth just ░░░░░░░░ about the power shifting ░░░░░░░░ Iran Unfortunately we had ░░░░░░░░ position of strength in ░░░░░░░░ The president then gave ░░░░░░░░ the cards that we ░░░░░░░░ by loosening sanctions just ░░░░░░░░ get Iran to the ░░░░░░░░ table They have been ░░░░░░░░ the shots for over ░░░░░░░░ year now and our ░░░░░░░░ at staying at the ░░░░░░░░ table past the president ░░░░░░░░ own announced deadline that ░░░░░░░░ said we would not ░░░░░░░░ just goes to show ░░░░░░░░ re negotiating from a ░░░░░░░░ of weakness KILMEADE Absolutely ░░░░░░░░ If you look at ░░░░░░░░ happened in Switzerland just ░░░░░░░░ the last 12 or ░░░░░░░░ hours The foreign ministers ░░░░░░░░ France China and Russia ░░░░░░░░ all left Yet Secretary ░░░░░░░░ State Kerry is still ░░░░░░░░ pleading with a deal ░░░░░░░░ time has come to ░░░░░░░░ back to a position ░░░░░░░░ strength and drive a ░░░░░░░░ bargain and not accept ░░░░░░░░ bargain Iran wants DOOCY ░░░░░░░░ said Senator Secretary Kerry ░░░░░░░░ pleading for a deal ░░░░░░░░ s begging The other ░░░░░░░░ have left because they ░░░░░░░░ the deadline was midnight ░░░░░░░░ s come and gone ░░░░░░░░ re out of here ░░░░░░░░ left apparently at 6 ░░░░░░░░ this morning How desperate ░░░░░░░░ this administration for a ░░░░░░░░ item as opposed to ░░░░░░░░ security COTTON Well the ░░░░░░░░ s own deputy national ░░░░░░░░ advisor was caught on ░░░░░░░░ comparing a nuclear deal ░░░░░░░░ Iran to ObamaCare He ░░░░░░░░ it s a foreign ░░░░░░░░ equivalent of ObamaCare so ░░░░░░░░ gives you a sense ░░░░░░░░ how deeply they want ░░░░░░░░ deal even if it ░░░░░░░░ t stop Iran from ░░░░░░░░ a nuclear weapon And ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ they made just over ░░░░░░░░ last week they apparently ░░░░░░░░ willing to let Iran ░░░░░░░░ to enrich uranium in ░░░░░░░░ underground fortified military bunker ░░░░░░░░ let Iran keep their ░░░░░░░░ piles of uranium which ░░░░░░░░ said they would ship ░░░░░░░░ of country crosstalk DOOCY ░░░░░░░░ can go wrong HASSELBECK ░░░░░░░░ Department and also a ░░░░░░░░ House press secretary saying ░░░░░░░░ as long as progress ░░░░░░░░ being made we re ░░░░░░░░ to keep negotiating we ░░░░░░░░ keep the talks going ░░░░░░░░ whom is progress being ░░░░░░░░ right now in these ░░░░░░░░ COTTON That s not ░░░░░░░░ way how you negotiate ░░░░░░░░ strength I don t ░░░░░░░░ any of our indecipherable ░░░░░░░░ has an utter common ░░░░░░░░ who would negotiate for ░░░░░░░░ used car or to ░░░░░░░░ a home like this ░░░░░░░░ have to be willing ░░░░░░░░ walk away from the ░░░░░░░░ and to reapply leverage ░░░░░░░░ Iran And the fact ░░░░░░░░ they are not willing ░░░░░░░░ do that and that ░░░░░░░░ re still sitting in ░░░░░░░░ negotiating when three of ░░░░░░░░ negotiating partners have already ░░░░░░░░ just demonstrates to Iran ░░░░░░░░ can continue to demand ░░░░░░░░ concessions from the west ░░░░░░░░ And senator the administration ░░░░░░░░ be using a hardnosed ░░░░░░░░ to say if you ░░░░░░░░ not cut this deal ░░░░░░░░ sanctions are waiting for ░░░░░░░░ They would have been ░░░░░░░░ this as a lever ░░░░░░░░ leverage and instead they ░░░░░░░░ back on guys like ░░░░░░░░ and even Democrats COTTON ░░░░░░░░ that s exactly right ░░░░░░░░ of the reason our ░░░░░░░░ fathers insisted that Congress ░░░░░░░░ international agreements even though ░░░░░░░░ president negotiates them is ░░░░░░░░ protect the American people ░░░░░░░░ unwise dangerous agreements but ░░░░░░░░ also gives the president ░░░░░░░░ negotiating leverage internationally because ░░░░░░░░ should be able to ░░░░░░░░ our adversaries that he ░░░░░░░░ cannot commit the United ░░░░░░░░ to binding agreements The ░░░░░░░░ has to do so ░░░░░░░░ Democrats and Republicans alike ░░░░░░░░ the Congress are insisting ░░░░░░░░ we get a deal ░░░░░░░░ blocks Iran from getting ░░░░░░░░ nuclear weapon not just ░░░░░░░░ and tomorrow but 10 ░░░░░░░░ 15 years from now ░░░░░░░░ well.”
