but you have to stick up for your rights. when you're treated badly, you rights. you have to do it. and whether we like it or not, whether it's something we want to do or not, and that's what our country has to do. as an example, iran the way they've been treating us with this deal, it's one of the worst deals i've ever seen negotiated just take it. we have to stick up for ourselves as people and we have to stick up for our country when we're being mistreated. remember that. and i have to go a little step further and say that fox has been extremely nice and the last nice, the last number of hours,
3:27 am
[ laughter ] is and they've want med there. they said how about now. how about now. can you come over. i said hasn't it already started. we actually thought we would let them start and we wanted to be about 15 minutes into that hour so by now they are all tuned in. look at all the cameras, it's like the academy awards.
