Whether or not it does, but it should make a difference in how the president approaches all of this. general, when you look at this deal, tell me about the nuts and bolts of it and why it is that youre so concerned its bad for this country? >> well can, the thing that concerns me the most is that iran is an ideal include driven country which is seeking regional domination and using proxy wars wars and proxy terrom they have been able to achieve a measure of success. lebanon, syria, iraq, and yem...

Yemen and the rebels and also lets understand here. this is really the major proxy contester with iran the saudis. not israel. its saudi arabia. and these proxy wars breaking out in the middle east and more united states involvement against the assad regime is probably whats really going on here. ergo turkey more involved and the united states doing more to help the saudis against assad. >> thank you so much. and also cycling on this very busy afternoon, the politics of all of this if you though...

Not contingent on iran changing its behavior. so how do you feel about that? >> well thats one reason why you should delay release of sanctions until you do see good behavior. i think we have also left in place significant nuclear capacity with 5,000 centrifuges that i think goes beyond what you would need for a peaceful program. so that along with the administration admitting that iran will still be involved in proxy wars will still be involved with terrorism, i find it hard to believe that tha...

Deal. im convinced were going to have something. maybe not by the 7th but well have something that resembles a deal. i think the concessions will be too steep to iran. it will be too favorable to them and theyre going to get a windfall of money back when the sanctions are removed, the hundred billion dollars. for them to be able to execute their proxy wars and state sponsoring of terrorism in the middle east. their major foreign policy objective is to dominate the middle east and they are achiev...
