but where i share the concern of those michael and dr. cohen at that point key restrictions will come off a of iran's nuclear program as doctor cohen said timeline then will decrease to a pint where iran could more quickly obtain the material for a nuclear weapon. there will be intrusive monitoring in place to give an early warning that while iran will be prohibited pursuing weapon activities it is without question a possibility that ranl could ramp up its enrichment. but that is by no means a fore gone conclusion nor is a foregone con clues that other countries in the region will choose to follow iran down the path of obtaining domestic enrichment. i think the question becomes whether or not you agree with this deal. the question becomes what can we do to strengthen the agreement in 15 within the next 15 years. to ensure that when iran gets to that point, it does not have the incentive to ramp up its nuclear program. an that other countries in the region do not feel like he have to achieve that level of parody. there's a number of options that

here i have to respectfully disagree with dr. cohen that this leaves the u.s. in a weakened position. right now based on the current trajectory they could obtain enough material for a nuclear weapon in two to three months. t also blocks iran's pathway using plutonium. and the monitoring and verification that's put on iran is the most intrusive that a country has ever voluntarily agreed to adhere to. will be conuous monitoring. this is a strong deal and it serves the u.s. national security interest but where i share the concern is what happens after 15 years. at that point key restrictions will start to come off of iran's nuclear program and as dr. cohen said the timeline could decrease where iran could obtain the material for a nuclear weapon. there will be intrusive monitoring verification in place to give an early warning in that and while iran will still be prohibited from pursuing certain weaponization activities, it is without question a possibility that iran could ramp up its enrichment. but that is by no means a foregone conclusion. nor sit a foregone co

dr. ron cohen, ceo and president of acorda, and one of the companies that kyle bass is targeting. >> thank you for joining us. >> and in his interview yesterday, he said he is only targeting the drugs that aren't innovative any more and shouldn't receive the protection, exclusivity because they are extending their patents to keep printing money essentially. how do you respond to that? >> okay, so, the first thing that i think is important to understand is kyle bass is not the problem. he is unimportant in the fact that he is the symptom of a bigger disease because he is exploiting a weakness in a system that congress created a couple of years ago, the ipr system for challenging patents. and what is important for people to realize is that that system was created for a completely different purpose. it was created to allow company to fend off so-called patent trolls. people who buy up patents and then assert them and look for people to pay them off so they won't sue them and so on. which is a laudable goal for congress. but inadvertently what congress did was they created a system that bypass

about some of the next stages of opportunity for the united states and other players hearing from dr. cohen what he would use as the dangerous ramifications. hearing from larry about the fabric of the society that's going to be changed under that oh, comment about the iranian hostage. i went to vietnam about a decade after the u.s. withdraw from there. i was asking the vietnamese people how are they with the united states. they said there are hard feelings with vietnam. and i said why? oh, the war. we have anti-chinese, anti-french war, etc. most americans were born after the fall of zy gone. the median nage the u.s. is -- age in the u.s. is 38. now we're going to hear from a scholar who's going into various aspects now with georgetown iversity previously at the pelper center. tell us what you think should be added to the discussion about the ramifications of the deal. >> thank you, we've been talking about all aspects of the nuclear program, the nuclear deal except the actual nuclear aspect of the nuclear deal. let me take a step back and address that because this is what the deal was desi
