Buck Sexton

Third hour of Play N Buck kicks off right now.

We're joined by our friend Steve Yates.

He is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, the former senior national security official in the White House.

And Steve, you are in Seoul, South Korea right now.

You're joining us.

I think it's like 3 a.m.

there.

So you are a dedicated fan.

Member of the Clay and Buck family, if you show up for us, thank you so much for that.

Feel free, if you want to tell us anything about what you're doing in South Korea, by all means.

But I want to first, if I could, put you in the situation of you are with, let's just say for a conversation, Vance Kushner Witkoff.

In this Islamabad negotiation, what are you expecting from the Iranians?

How are you going to leverage this situation?

How do you think this thing can and should be handled from our side?

How do you think the Israeli allies are looking at this situation, Steve?

What would you think is an acceptable outcome from their perspective?

How do they play into all this?

Because we obviously still have the Hezbollah-Lebanon issue, and they're bringing that as part of the U.S.

Essentially part of the U.S.-Iran negotiation is, hey, America, you've got to get Israel to play ball on the following thing.

So it's a multi-party card game here.
