Is what scares a lot of allies and that is going to unleash iran, not ten to 12 year, its going to unleash iran quickly. >> jen, do you think thats true, that iran would get out of this deal and get on that fast track to a nuclear bomb? >> well, i think its a risk and look, the situation we have now at this point is the hope that members of congress will find their higher power here and not be partisan and not put snap back sanctions in place because that would be violation of the deal. if that ...

Daca recipients. >> yeah. >> to a conclusion that will benefit everyone. youre right, he has a heart, hes a father, a grandfather, he gets it. but before the democrats and others jump the gun lets start talking the way we should be talking. >> okay. matt are democrats getting ready to jump the gun on this? >> absolutely not. the thing that came out last night as phil was noting is a complete nonstarter. not a single democrat in congress will get anywhere near it. that is not a negotiating positi...
