Unfiltered conversations from night sweats to fupas to scheduling sex. Wait, what sex? Is it just me, or does every woman my age want to look at Pinterest instead of having sex sometimes? Ha ha ha!

Let's turn to how things are going domestically in the U.S. as Trump is at his big meeting in China.
Saagar Enjeti 2:24
So you'll recall yesterday we covered Trump getting asked whether he considers Americans' financial situations when thinking about the Iran war. And he said, no, I don't think about that at all. Well, yesterday, Vice President J.D. Vance got asked about those comments and just straight up was, oh, I don't think he said that at all. Let's take a listen.
Unknown 2:42
When approaching the war with Iran, do you agree with the president's position that Americans' financial situations should not be a consideration in that decision-making process?
JD Vance 2:52
Well, I don't think the president said that. I think that's a misrepresentation of what the president said. But look, I agree with the president that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. We're obviously engaged in a very aggressive and very engaged diplomatic process to try to ensure that that doesn't happen. And the president has a lot of options.
Saagar Enjeti 3:09
So he thinks that was misrepresented. He doesn't think the president said that. Just as a reminder, here are the president's own words. Not even a little bit.
JD Vance 3:24
The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about... American financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all. That's the only thing that motivates me.
Saagar Enjeti 3:42
There's the whole quote. Literally, I don't think about Americans' financial situation, Sagar. Yeah. I mean, at a certain point, what do you even do? You just deny that it ever happened, I guess. Apparently.
Yeah.
Saagar Enjeti 3:55
I could. Yeah, I could. And Vance having to just like lie about him. I don't think that's what he said.
