That deal? >> i have think it was absolutely the right thing to do. the asking for those sanctions to be lifted is ludicrous. the north koreans need to understand, kim jong-un needs to understand, they need to denuclearize and do it soon. when it happens the president will be ready to deal. what was presented to the president, it was not the right direction. and the president is a good enough man, a great enough negotiator to know when to get up and leave. >> sandra: i did not hear you say if it...
