Lindsey Graham says the U.S. has 'hit a wall' on Iran negotiations: Full interview

Published | Video Starts at 05:47

President Trump's very frustrated. So what to do next? I think it's going to be very difficult to get a deal with the current regime. Is there any evidence they've changed? I talked to the CIA director yesterday. Is there any evidence that the crowd in charge now is any less committed? Destroying Israel, going after us, the Great Satan, purifying Islam?

CLAIM
