I want to play this clip with what JD had to say with the Iran deal. And then let's go, after this, I'm going to go to the next clip of him calling out Israel. But go for it, play this clip with JD.

**JD Vance** (0:40)
People say that billions of dollars of assets will be released. That's not true. What is true is that Iran will have a much better and much more prosperous future if they meet the obligations they make in this agreement. We'll of course see, that's one of the things we're going to work out in the technical talks that will follow the official signing on Friday.

**Ed O'Keefe** (0:59)
Mr. Vice President, it's Ed O'Keefe, and we're so glad you're here in part, because as Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said yesterday, you are the architect of this deal.

**Pat Bet-David** (1:05)
Didn't we already play this clip on Tuesday?

**Ed O'Keefe** (1:06)
The Iranians are saying that they're going to have access to a $300 billion region.

**Pat Bet-David** (1:10)
This is a three-day clip. I've seen this clip here. But can you go to the clip of JD calling out Israel? We played this clip a couple of days ago. Go to this one. This is the one I want to see here. Watch this, folks. Play it from the beginning, please.

**JD Vance** (1:21)
I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world. I will say, I don't know, maybe I missed this. I don't think BB himself has actually criticized the deal, because I think he's maybe a little bit more familiar with the details of what's in it.

**Pat Bet-David** (1:37)
This is not a clip, guys. There's a clip of him saying, there's a clip of him saying, if I'm you, I think it's the previous one where he was standing there, where he's saying, if I were you, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be your, the only ally you have in the world is US and you're acting like you don't have one. I'll look for it, I'll text it to you guys, Tom.
But this is a short version of it. Press play.

**JD Vance** (2:01)
If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.

**Pat Bet-David** (2:11)
It's a short version. There's a little bit more to it. The only ally that I have in the entire world. Tom, where are you at with this?

**SPEAKER_5** (2:18)
I am pleased over the last week that the president and the vice president have had very measured but clear statements about where they wanted Israel to line up in this thing.
The president was very clear about it. He said, about, you know, I think maybe it's time to back off a little bit in Lebanon. Do you need to knock down an apartment building to get one guy? There's other people there. And I think those are the kind of measured statements I think the middle of America wants to hear because there's been this dialogue. It's like, well, BB does what he wants, and Trump kind of has to follow it. I like what I'm seeing here because this is the way we should lead. It's like, hey, dude, knock it off. You're an ally.
I'm not here to undermine you. I'm not here to pull the defense from you. We give you all kinds of arms, all kinds of spending and things like this. But look, right here, maybe back off a little bit. And I like the tone that JD had there. That was the kind of tone that I would expect to hear from Rubio, because that sounded kind of like a secretary of state message, if you know what I mean, Pat, to say it that way. But I like what I'm hearing, and I'm hoping that Israel holds the line on having a quick trigger finger. Oop, we had a missile over here. Oop, there was something in the Golan Heights. Oop, I'm hoping that Israel holds back that trigger figure that would...
