And so I think he was at peace with that.

Same thing with the previous attack on the three major enrichment centers in Iran.

There were no American troops involved.

It was a question of whether you could send B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles there and

go in, bomb, and leave.

And there was sort of a surgical precision and a brief time period to that that I think made that acceptable to J.D.

Vance.

But we don't know his position on Iran.

And while he's been careful not to separate himself from the president, one has to assume from everything that we're hearing leaking out that he is at least raising a lot of questions about how this could go wrong.

Well, certainly, Terry, we've seen investments that came from the Arab states into some of Jared Kushner's businesses.

And for Steve Witkoff, whose business is now run by his children, there have also been some investments as well.

My colleagues and I brought this topic up with President Trump during our interview in January.

And we noted to him that in the first term, he made sure that the Trump Organization did not invest in overseas projects because it's rife with opportunities to go influence a president or to get their children involved in business deals that would look like an effort to influence the administration.

And I thought the president's answer to us was just fascinating, Terry.

He said, you know, you're right.

We did that in the first term and we didn't get any credit for it.

So in the second term, we're not even bothering.

We're just going ahead with those transactions.

And that told you so much about President Trump's mindset here, Terry, because he wasn't saying we're abstaining from those transactions because we wouldn't want to create the impression of any kind of conflict of interest.

Instead, it was a I did this and no one rewarded me for it.
