WEBVTT - Vance Explains The Iran Deal 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.560 An hour two Sean Hannity Show, Toll Free, It's eight 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:04.440 hundred and ninety four one Sean if you want to 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.880 be a part of the program. All right, So last 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.680 night I got to spend time with the Vice President 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:15.880 of the our country of the United States, JD Events, 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.480 and JD has been trying to explain what this deal 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.279 is with Iran, and for a lot of people, there 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.040 are a lot of questions, and that's fair. And the 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:32.800 best part is he answered every unanswered question. Not every 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:36.760 question is answered yet, because we're at the you know, 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:41.160 this is this is not the deal points, but they're 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.479 saying in principle that they've agreed to it. There's been 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.400 so much bs out there about what is not in 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.480 the deal that the Vice President got to clarify not true, 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.320 not true, not true. So it kind of became point 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.080 by point. Now if you listen to this radio show yesterday, 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.560 as I mentioned earlier, I had laryngitis. I did the 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.279 podcast it's five minutes to nine. I'm live with him 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.119 on air at nine o'clock wrap up. The podcast ran 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.319 to you know, the bathroom, run out to the studio, 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.760 and my throat froze at the beginning of the show. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.480 So I was struggling all day yesterday and then people 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.440 he's stroging out. No, I've had Laryn Jidas my entire 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.199 career of anyone's listening to the show any length of time. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.400 But it's just it's just part of this business. When 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.840 you went up on the air so many hours, it's 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.200 going to happen anyway. So please, you know, forgive me 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.080 for that part. I even said it on the show, 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.800 and then still people didn't listen. But anyway, Part one 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.520 my interview with Vice President Jadvance. Mister vice President, how 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:39.399 are you going to see a show? 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.360 I'll get to see you a personal a lot. Yeah, it's 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:42.600 good to see you. Okay. 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:47.400 So you're now you start off this life in Appalachia 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:54.400 and very tough upbringing, very poor upbringing, difficult times, abuse 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.000 at home, your mom struggled with addiction. You have a 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.520 devout grandmother. Now you're the vice president, you're forty one 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.680 years old, and now you're negotiating what might be the 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.680 path to peace in the Middle East for the first time. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.639 However, many thousands of years. 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.040 Not a bad life, not a bad life at all, man, 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.440 only in America. And I think that if you have 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.320 a life like I've led, you have to have incredible 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.560 gratitude of the country, and the best way to show 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.200 that gratitude is just to try to do as good 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:23.919 of a job as humanly possible. 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:25.960 That's what I write about in the book. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.919 Fundamentally is this sense that, you know, my life has 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.000 been so charmed. In some ways things have been a struggle, 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.720 but in a lot of ways, man, I've just been 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.440 so blessed. And there's this sense that God was always 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.280 looking out for me, even when I straight from the path, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.600 even when I called myself an atheist. That faith that 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.080 my grandmother had sort of imbued me with was always 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.480 there in the background. And of course it's an important 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.280 part of the way that I go about my duties today, 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.639 but it's just an important part of who I am. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.120 It fundamentally illuminates everything else about me, And hopefully people 0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:59.720 will pick up the book and learn a little bit 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.960 about me, and learn a little bit about my faith journey, 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.359 and maybe it'll be useful to them. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.959 Well, we'll get into that in more detail, all right, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:10.880 So let's talk about the Iranian deal. What frustrates me 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.840 about the Iranians? Donald Trump says, A and they somebody 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.480 will come out some aspect of that government and contradict 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.520 what the President said. And they came out with quote 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.359 a memorandum of understanding, which is what was signed official 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.399 signing on Friday in Geneva, and it contradicted a lot 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:31.440 of what the President said. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.280 Any of that true, No, it's not. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:33.480 So. 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.520 I've seen a lot of misinformation out there. I've seen 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.440 twenty four billion dollars going from the United States to Iran. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.520 That number is totally false, totally made up. Fundamentally. What 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.400 this thing does, Shawn, as you can to appreciate, is 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.280 number one, the straights before Moose were open. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.520 Immediately you already see oil. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.080 Prices coming down substantially, and I think they're only going 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.720 to come down even further. Number Two, it ensures that 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.160 Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And number three, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.280 it does go and say, look, if the Iranians are 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.840 willing to change their ways, if they're willing to behave 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.360 like a normal country, stop trying to build a nuclear weapon, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.520 stop trying to fund terrorism all over the Middle East, 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.360 then we are willing to actually fundamentally transform our relationship 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.400 with them. That's what the President has offered. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.800 Now. Of course, we would need to verify. 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.719 That, we would need to see real progress and real 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:23.719 action is absolutely it's written right there in the agreement, Sean. 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:24.880 And here's the thing. 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:29.200 Yes, you're right that sometimes, when you know information. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.800 About this deal will leak out, you'll. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.000 Have somebody on a propaganda channel in that country, in 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.600 Iran who will say something that isn't true. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.720 I think it's it's sort of expected. 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.120 It frustrates me too, but it's expected that some Yahoo 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.400 is going to say something about the deal that is untrue. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.240 What really bothers. 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.880 Me and frustrates me and is unexpected when the American 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.080 media literally picks up talking points in propaganda from the 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.880 RGC that has no support in the text of the 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.599 agreement that we've actually negotiated and no basis in reality. 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.360 This this is good for the American people. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.680 The Iranians don't get a dime unless they behave and 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.680 change their behavior, and this means that a rain will 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:08.880 never have a nuclear weapons. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:10.279 They did this at a dime. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.279 Did they ever get an American dime a taxpayer dollar? 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:13.640 No? 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.120 So Number one, First of all, they never get a 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.359 dime of American taxpayer money ever, full stop, not even close. 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.880 What we have said is there's a lot. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.400 Of economic benefit in the United States relieving a lot 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.640 of sanctions and welcoming them back into the world economy. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:28.640 There's a lot of benefit. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.840 They're not American money, but there's a lot of economic 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.360 prosperity that can flow from that. What the President said 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.839 to them is, we want you to be a successful country, 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.320 but for you to be a successful country, you've got 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.000 to give up on this threat. You've got to give 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:42.960 up on the desire to have a nuclear weapon. And 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.600 if you do that, the United States is willing to. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:46.880 Have a much better relationship. 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:48.080 Let me go to this. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.960 The number one report that I've been reading leading up 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:56.719 to this interview tonight is that the Kataris are giving 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.520 them three hundred billion dollars with the signed, sealed and 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.680 approval of the US. The President did put out a 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.960 truth denying all of it. Iran has agreed to never 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.000 have a nuclear weapon, and the story that the US 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.200 is paying Iran three hundred million dollars is fake news. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.360 We are not giving them an American dollar. Number one true. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.839 And number two, did the US ever sign off on 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.520 the Qataris paying that money? 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:23.479 No, we've not. 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.520 The agreement says they are not getting a single dime 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.080 of American money. That's just not what this This is 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.120 what the agreement does say. Sean is again, if the 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.480 Iranians behave, and if there are sanctions relief, and if 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.520 the Iranians are integrated into the world economy, we would 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.640 invite other countries, not US, but other countries to invest 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.760 in their country. That's fine, but only if they comply 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.680 with the terms of the agreement. Really, we have an 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.240 option here, right. The President of the United States has 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.560 given us optionality, which is great for the American people. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.000 Step back for a second. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.120 Their conventional military is destroyed, their nuclear weapons program is destroyed. 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.159 The straight of horror moves is now open. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.599 Now we have two pathways that don't get to tell free. 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.640 It is open toll free, and that's very explicit in 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.800 the agreement. But now we have two pathways we can 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.560 go down. Pathway number one is the Iranian economy continues 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:14.480 to be strangled. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.680 We don't want that, that's not our desire. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.640 But in order for them to get pathway too, which 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.520 is reintegration into the world economy, they have to behave 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.200 like a normal country. It's a very simple principle actually, 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.520 And what's different about this than previous iterations of the 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:34.040 Iranian government previous negotiations is one that President's negotiating from 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.000 a position of strength. But number two, we're actually talking 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.120 directly to them. And I can't tell you, Sean, five 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.720 years down the road they're going to honor that commitment. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.800 Because I can't predict the future. What I can tell 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.160 you is if they don't honor their commitments, they don't 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:47.960 get a dime. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.320 From anybody the United States ever, but a dime from 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:52.160 anybody else either. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.680 The President has told me many times, he said, I 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.280 can go back to bombing and obliterate them in five 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.160 minutes at any point. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:58.960 I want. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.920 How important was it the two attacks that took place 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.080 last week, one after an Apache helicopter of ours was hit. 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.880 Well, what it did, Sean, is it showed that we 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.960 were serious, that there really are two options here. There's 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.560 the military option, there's the diplomatic option. And if they 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.520 were not going to choose the diplomatic option, then the 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.600 President still had military options to use. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.200 But it's not just that, Sean. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.920 One of the things the American media has totally underreported 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.240 is you talk about the straight of horror moves the 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.080 Iranians try to close off the strait to try to 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.040 choke off the world energy economy. The American media has 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.840 totally under reported the fact that over the past three 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.560 weeks we've gotten more oil out of the Straight of 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.959 Horror moves under the supervision of United States Central Command 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.280 than we had the first three months of this operation. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.440 What does that mean? That means the iranians leverage was 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.720 reducing by the day. That means that our position was 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.800 growing stronger by the day. And I think that's why 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.240 we've cut what is fundamentally a good deal for the 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.400 American people, assuming the Iranians followed through. If they don't 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.520 fall through, there's no skin off our back. Nothing changes 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:04.600 from where we are right now. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.080 A lot of people are questioning, why not release the 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.520 memorandum of understanding? 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.520 You said it will happen this week. 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.360 Correct, So there are some diplomatic protocols Sewan, there are 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.600 some sequencing that the Pakistanis have been involved in this, 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.920 the Qataris have been involved in this. And what the 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.400 President has said is the agreement will come out on Friday. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.280 He may decide to release the agreement sooner than that, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.719 but we have this formal ceremony on Friday, and that's 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.200 when the President right now wants to release the memorandum. 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.160 Let me get to this because this is the most 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.719 important thing, and the President has been most consistent on 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.960 this point, and that is they cannot and will never 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.920 have a nuclear weapon, rightt How will we be able 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:47.400 to verify that? Will we have American inspectors on the ground, 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.040 What happens to the nuclear dust? Will will it be 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.400 degraded or will it be removed? 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.160 Will we be a party to that? 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.080 Like will it will? 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.200 Will it reflect what we did Libya years ago? 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.720 So what we're gonna do, Sean is destroy the highly 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.400 enriched material, the nuclear dust as we call it. And 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.600 you know, we're gonna do it with the Iranians. That's 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.240 what the President has said. He wants us to work 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.640 with the Iranians, with the international organizations to destroy that 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.440 stockpile of enriched material because that does set them back 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.320 a little bit further. We've already fundamentally destroyed their program, 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.200 but that does set them back a little bit further, 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:25.280 and that's important. 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:25.880 Of course to the United States. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.280 They're agreeing never to enrich they're agreeing right now to 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.000 eliminate the enriched stockpile. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.040 And if they don't get to a point where they 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.680 agree to stop. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.000 Enriching, then they don't get the other benefits of the bargain. 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.160 And that's the way this is set up. Is a 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.319 lot of the technical details we're going to figure out 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.320 over the next month, over the next two months, but 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.000 the basic structure is they can get a lot if 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.240 they comply with the United States demands. They don't get 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.959 anything if they don't comply with anything. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.000 All right, Well, come back more with JD. Vans on 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:12.760 the other side, my part two, my interview last night. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.000 Yes with laryngitis, I apologize and the Vice President JD. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:20.520 Evans, let's talk about any place, anywhere, anytime US inspectors. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:21.960 That's that part of the deal. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.920 Yeah, that's absolutely something that we are negotiating over Seawan. 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.520 That's one of the final details that's going to be 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.120 figured out here is if you go back to the 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.559 original Obama JCPOA, there were a couple of big problems 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.560 with it. Number one, by the way, is that the 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.760 golf Arabs hated the Obama deal. 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.480 Why because they thought that it empowered. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.040 The Iranians to be a malign actor and actually enriched 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.520 the Iranians while they were misbehaving. This deal the golf 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.240 Arabs love because they know that this is the kind 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.920 of deal that could fundamentally transform the Middle East. Another 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.120 problem with that deal is that the inspections regime was 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.760 effectively non existent. There was a little bit there, but 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.400 it was basically non existent. This goes back to our 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.680 fundamental principle here that if they show verifiable commitment, and 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.160 that means a real inspections regime, then they can get 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:07.200 the benefits. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:07.280 Of the bargain. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.480 Obama took a shot and said, I don't think this 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:11.720 deal is any better than the deal we had before. 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.280 The jcpoway was. 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.000 Dramatically different than what you were describing here tonight. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.520 And I'd ask the president, the former president, I'd say, Obama, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:25.240 why in the world, if it's the same thing, why 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.840 is it that the golf Arabs hated your deal and 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.040 they love our deal. They are the ones who are 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.640 in the region. They know what it means to enrich 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.400 the worst terrorist regime in the world, and they also 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.800 know what it means to turn over a new leaf 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.839 and to go to a different future. So I think 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:44.120 President Obama he should acknowledge that the people who are 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.800 closest to this they love the Trump deal, they hate 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.680 the Obama deal, and that's maybe the biggest endorsement of 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:50.120 this plan. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.160 Okay, so I just want to just bear down. They're 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.400 going to hand over the nuclear dust, they're agreeing to 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.320 know nuclear weapons, they're agreeing to inspections. They don't get 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:05.880 one US taxpayer dollar. And okay, you really believe that 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.280 a regime that I would argue could not be trusted. 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.760 I refer to it as a death cult. That what 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.800 brought them to this point? What changed is it? They're 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.400 now at their fourth year of leadership. 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:19.720 What do you think changed? 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.480 I think it's a combination. First of all, I don't 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.240 believe anything. Sean is very important. As the President has said, 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.679 we have to verify. We're going to reward action, We're 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.679 not going to reward words. But fundamentally, what's change is 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.400 Number one, we're on the third or fourth generation of leadership. 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.840 That is true. Number Two, they've seen that the president 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:37.400 is serious. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.960 They've seen that he's willing to exert that leverage and 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.120 actually do what's necessary in order to force the Rratians 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:43.839 to come to the table. 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.800 And number three, Sean, This is important. It's underreported. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.320 Their economy has been in a free fall for a 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.800 very long time. So you combine the President's leverage that 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.240 he's put on them, you combine the new leadership, and 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.599 you can mind the fact that their economy is in shambles. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.239 And I think that they see there's a real oportunity 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.200 here to turn over a new leaf, so long as 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:02.920 they do the right thing. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.600 So on the verification process. Once we get along, they're 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.520 either going to go along with the commitments they made 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.120 or what is next? And what do you say to 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.840 the people like me that have been very skeptical of 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.400 the regime for all these years. Number one state sponsored terror, 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:24.920 death to Israel, death oral America. I'm skeptical if this 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.640 is all true. Reagan talked about this in eighty five. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.280 He said there might be an opportunity for peace in 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.200 that region, and it might be all of these countries 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.240 finally getting along. And you even expressed hope that that 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.880 might be a result of this. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.400 Well again, I'll tell you the Gulf coast countries under 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.400 the President's leadership, they actually feel that that's possible. They 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.680 don't believe anything either, They're not certain They're not going 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.320 to predict what the Ranians are going to do five 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.800 years from now, but they see real opportunity. So we're 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.440 going to walk down this pathway. We're going to see 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.800 how serious the Iranians are so in us. What if 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.920 they don't meet these obligations, What if they don't do 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.360 what they promise they're going to do? Number One, they 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.200 don't get any benefits of the bargain, And as the 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.280 President would say, we have all the cards. Their economy 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.600 will still be in very tough shape if they don't 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.480 get the relief that they need to get in order 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:09.280 to make progress. 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.560 That was part two of my interview with the Vice 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:12.520 President jd. Vance. 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.560 When we come back, we'll hit the phones eight n 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:16.600 if you want to be a part of the. 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:56.160 Program, Bold Inspired Solutions for America. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.560 This is the Sean Hannity Show. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.240 All right, let's get to our busy phones. Travis in Pennsylvania, 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:04.040 what's up, Travis? 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:04.400 How are you? 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:04.600 Sir? 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:05.200 Glad you called? 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.320 Hey, Sean.

The thing is, you're 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.880 always gonna need a plumber. You're always going to need 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:36.040 the ac guy. I can't tell you how many times 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.560 in my life it's two or three in the morning, 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.160 and if you need a plumber, I don't care what 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.720 they're charging. You're asking that plumber to please get out 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.240 of bed and come, yes, sir, you got it, yep, 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.760 and God bless it. I encourage young people to think 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.160 about the trades because I think that will be It 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.520 was an article micro highlighted it as well. 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.720 The next generation of millionaires are going to be tradesmen. 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.440 Yeah, and I think it's pretty neat that you actually 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:03.320 were in construction. 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.639 One of the best things I did in my life ever. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.920 I know what real work is for twenty plus years 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.840 of my life. Makes me appreciate and love even more 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.240 the blessing of doing what I love to do every day. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.720 Well, thank you for taking my call today. I've always 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.840 wanted to talk to you on your program. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:23.680 Well, thank you. What's on your mind? 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.159 So I just wanted to mention the other day you 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.280 were talking about Rush, And when I first started listening 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.639 to five eighty was back when I was probably about sixteen. 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.000 I was actually driving a tractor in a field. I 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.840 was plowing a field, and I loved tuning in every 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.280 day and I listened to Rush, and he was such 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.439 an amazing man and such an inspiration to me. 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.080 I think it was an inspiration to all of us. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.840 And I always say we all owe him a debt 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:51.520 of gratitude. 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:52.959 Those are not words. I mean it. 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.399 I said it well. I said it while he was alive. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.280 I said it in his passing. I say it today, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.119 and any one of us that makes our living giving 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:07.960 out our opinions, and and anybody in the conservative ecosphere, 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:12.240 if you will, of media, we owe him a debt 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.159 of gratitude. It was not easy for him either, the 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.679 whole way. It was hard because he was, you know, 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.359 forging a path for all of us. He didn't know 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:23.080 he was forging that big a path, but he was right. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:24.800 Yeah, I know he made a big impact on me. 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.000 I know that, and I've been a faithful listener ever 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.760 since he started. You know he started out or I 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.480 started listening, So yeah, what an amazing person. 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:34.600 I will tell you this. 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.800 We know what Russia's You know, everyone, if you talk 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.320 about what is on your wish list or you know, 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.160 bucket list as they call it, we know what Rush's 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.080 bucket list was. Just to get well enough, quick enough 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.760 to come back to the airwaves and talk to all 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.760 of you. That to me defined Rush. I mean Rush 0:18:55.800 --> 0:19:00.800 talked about eib one and I had a cigar and 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.280 all this stuff. But what he really wanted to do 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.080 was be behind that microphone every single day, because that's 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.240 what he chose to do, knowing he had very little 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.159
