EXCERPT:
DEAN: "And strangely, as we’re taking in these Supreme Court decisions and the ranting and raving of the president, we had a conference call, it was not a classified call, with Secretary Rubio and Mr. Witkoff, and it was bipartisan, members of Congress, House members, Republicans, Democrats. Mr. Rubio gave a very brief opening, just talking about the the shots back and forth over the course of the last four days, then sent it open to questions. We didn’t learn much of anything. I have to be very, very honest with you. And it was all based on talking about the MOU, the 14-point MOU. I did ask a set of questions to the secretary and to Mr. Witkoff, which really piqued his ire. He cut my mic off and said that -- he called my question smartassed and stupid, cut my mic off and said, 'There’s your answer.' I was simply asking tough questions about who wrote the MOU. Why does it sound so in favor of Iran. And from literally paragraph one, we’re already out of sync with what was to happen. I also mentioned the fact, and I think we should never forget, that in this reckless, unconstitutional war, which is what I said to the gentlemen on the call, 13 service members have died. We must never forget that. Hundreds have been wounded and thousands of civilians killed throughout the region. But he called me smartassed, stupid. I think this diplomat or would-be diplomats have been hanging around the president too much."
