Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM Channel 111, every weekday at noon East.
Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We've got a great show for you today. We are live from the SiriusXM HQ in New York City with Vice President JD Vance. And we have a lot to talk about the potential end of the war in Iran and his excellent new book, which is out today. It's called Communion, Finding My Way Back to Faith. It's a great read, especially right now, for anybody who's having some of the same doubts that the Vice President had about his own Christian faith not so long ago. He's here with me. I just saw him in the SiriusXM HQ, but he is on the phone with the President, which is about the best excuse any guest has ever given me for being a little late to the show. That seems like something we shouldn't interrupt, but it actually works out well, because I didn't really want to bore him with going over the reports of what's in this Iran deal, because he knows. But you and I should go through it together, so that you know when he and I are talking what the points are that we're going over. This is reportedly the deal, as reported by some sources who have been reliable on reporting previous points of negotiation between us and Iran. Number one, we're going to stop fighting. This is my very simplified version. Everybody's going to stop fighting, including, it says, Lebanon and Israel. Okay, so the deal terms reportedly, now this has been confirmed by the administration. That's one of the points of contention here is that they haven't told us exactly what's in the memorandum of understanding. The critics of the deal already feel betrayed. They want to know like, why can't we know and so on? But this is reportedly what's in there. Stop all fighting, including in Lebanon. Lift the blockade of the Iranian ports and in return, the Iranians open up the Strait of Hormuz. Nothing's in the memorandum of understanding, as we know it, about the tolls that Iran's been charging. $300 billion to Iran.
The MOU says the US with its regional partners will come up with a plan for that. The administration has suggested already that that would be money from its regional partners to try to rebuild Iran. So $300 billion, not US money, but that would go to Iran. That's been criticized by some, but it's to help them rebuild.
All sanctions to come to an end against Iran, that's worth reportedly about $100 billion. That's sanctions that have been imposed by us, the UN and the IAEA against Iran. No nukes ever for them. This is to be negotiated, but that we're going to agree that they won't develop a nuke. And then the agreement suggests we may be negotiating their needs, their nuclear needs, which has got a big question mark over it.
The fate of the nuclear dust is to be negotiated, the enriched uranium. The Treasury will allow Iranian oil exports. That's worth about $4 billion a month. Iran's frozen money will be released. That's worth about $24 billion. And then there's a question of what exactly they have to do in order to get all this money. So President Trump has made clear repeatedly that he's not just going to give them all this dough. They have to do things in order to earn this relief of sanctions and the green light from the Treasury for them to export their oil. And that's one of the questions we have, which is what exactly do they have to do? How will we know when they've done it? And how are we going to basically just hold them to account as opposed to just opening up the financial spigot and making Iran very, very rich while we piece out of there? Now, the critics of the deal, they don't want any of this. I mean, let's be honest. What the critics of this deal want is more fighting. That's what they want. They want us to bomb Iran to smithereens. I think they'd be fine with Israel growing and its hegemony in the Middle East. And they're not going to be satisfied until we have, it looks like military occupation over there. How else could we ensure that they never do additional enrichment? That they don't want them to be able to do it for energy purposes. They certainly don't want nuclear purposes.
