“Now sitting here today I don't know whether that means the hardliners are prevailing or whether that means voices of sanity are prevailing. We'll learn more, we'll talk more. But as you know I spoke with the president this week, spent about 20 minutes on the phone with him talking predominantly about Iran. and what I urged the president was hold the line, hold the line, stand strong, no nukes, no nukes, no nukes. And the president adamantly agreed with me.” (33:22–33:28)
