the way, by John Bolton,
one of the architects

01:14.166 --> 01:19.166 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%

continuing to try to
prosecute a case to lead to
higher tensions, escalation

01:21.533 --> 01:25.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and perhaps conflict with
Iran, as though we learned
nothing from the last 15 years

01:25.900 --> 01:27.933 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%

is a low-I.Q. individual.

02:03.300 --> 02:06.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
He probably is,
based on his record.

Now, when you see a
government that works

02:18.100 --> 02:21.566 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
great for those with
money, a government that
works for those who can
hire an army of lobbyists

02:24.000 --> 02:27.866 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
and lawyers, but it's
not working for everyone
else, that is corruption,
plain and simple,

02:31.166 --> 02:33.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and we need to call
it out for what it is.

I understand his tricks
and his strategies.

02:48.066 --> 02:50.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
