Quote, today donald trump simultaneously lied about the iranian nuclear deal, undermined global confidence in u.s. commitments, alienated our closest allies, strengthened iranian hawks, and gave north korea more reason to keep its nukes. this madness is a danger to our national security. president obama took the rare step of issuing a public statement today, calling the decision misguided and a serious mistake. he wrote in part, quote, in a democracy there will always be changes in policies and ...

Dead, i guess, without that, that major underpinning, what are the consequences? >> well, the worst consequences are that iran will say that america is now not keeping their commitments into the deal, so therefore the deal is null and void and were going to pull out as well and begin to now enrich uranium at higher levels, bring centrifuges back online and start building a bomb. thats the worst case. i dont know that well get there today, alisyn. i suspect he will probably say hes not going to w...
