“… saying that there are no talks, and he said he's not sure what they are referring to because the most recent talks happened in fact last night with Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner and their counterparts When I asked about the Iranian TV saying that no talks have happened, he said it's hard to get any information there because of the U.S.'s blowing up so much of their infrastructure. So again, he wasn't sure whether Iran state TV was talking about because the most recent talks, he said, happened last night with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

“It could happen sooner, he said, but I have put down five days. I asked him what his reaction is to Iranian state television, saying that there are no talks, and he said he's not sure what they are referring to because the most recent talks happened in fact last night with Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner and their counterparts When I asked about the Iranian TV saying that no talks have happened, he said it's hard to get any information there because of the U.S.'s blowing up so much of their infrastructure.

Tell us more about what they have to say and how voters may be seeing these candidates differently. They're all pretty well known. No, that's exactly right, Kelly. And to pick up on the sound that you just heard, the interesting thing here is despite what you just heard them say, there are very subtle policy differences when you listen to these candidates.
