Published | Video Starts at 40:37

Let's talk about reconciliation. Let's talk about what's going to be necessary to stop the endless murders of thousands of people in Iran at the hands of the mullahs. Let's stop having them throw gay people off of buildings because they're gay. Let's stop killing thousands of them because they're protesting the economic circumstances. Let's win on that. That's a message that we win on by saying we're trying to free the Iranian people, those sorts of things, and engaging the president on. (40:37–40:42)
