00:01on what oh god come on i told you guys i'm not talking about that stuff anymore i have two
00:07jobs
00:07i have literally like i legitimately have like two jobs now i don't i'm not talking about this
00:11stuff okay but thank you for asking the archives i lost unfortunately after nine months it was one
00:15of my favorite jobs but it was a cool job i know i know but if i was the archivist
00:20i would be there
00:21to receive him but now i'm just an observer okay look at this guy he's loaded he's ready okay go
00:26ahead what happened well yesterday's conversation was uh was with some of the mediators involved in
00:42that process and i don't want to characterize it as one direction or another i think it's pretty
00:46clear understanding of what this is remember everything here at its core the number one
00:50issue the president highlighted this yesterday in a speech before the world iran can never have a
00:55nuclear weapon everything emanates from that we understand the straits is an issue the southern
01:00lane of the straits is open every day more and more barrels of oil are flowing through there and
01:04they're open thanks to the efforts of the united states military that's both defending shipping and
01:08has removed mines and that trend will continue meanwhile the only blockade in the hormous straits
01:13is the one we've imposed on iran because they keep firing on ships and they continue to do so as
01:18early
01:18as this morning there was another launch so um on shipping so we'll continue to defend we'll continue
01:26to hold the straits open so that's an issue but the core issue here is that iran can never have
01:30a
01:30nuclear weapon we make that point in every interaction with them beyond that i would say that um you know
01:36i don't want to characterize these meetings because these there's going to be a deal with iran it's not
01:39going to happen at a press conference it's going to involve a lot of hard work over a period of
01:44time and
01:44they will engage and involve mediators as well so as the president said he's open to a deal the
01:50president's open still to this moment to making a deal with iran that allows iran to be what it
01:55should be which is a great and prosperous country
