| 0:59.5 | Where's Iran's nuclear program these days? |
| 1:01.9 | I'm really concerned about that, and I've been watching it for about 15 years. |
| 1:05.9 | And for the longest time, the concern was that, well, Iran says it doesn't want a nuclear |
| 1:10.2 | weapon, but gee, they're sure accumulating a lot of fissile materials, the stuff you make that explodes in a nuclear bomb. In the last three years, we've seen a pretty big change with Iranians. They're now making not just the low enriched uranium, they were pretty good at making, the stuff you could put in a nuclear power plant. Now it's high enriched uranium. It's 60% enriched. |
| 1:28.3 | It's very, very close to weapons growth. |
| 1:30.3 | So we're telling the world that, you know, wink, wink, we could make a bomb if we want to. |
| 1:33.3 | And that's not just a bluffing. |
