Chapter 2: What led to Donald Trump's disgraceful return to D.C.?

917.196 - 936.141

There was no environmental issue. There were no issues. So why should we now, as a result of a conflict, accept some novel arrangement that is going to be imposed on it? That, to me, doesn't make sense. So I think we need to go back to the way it was, and that worked fine, and that

936.121 - 957.681 Ben Meiselas

You know, that should be the end of it. Then you had Reza Pavlavi, Iranian who's here in the United States, and who's been, who thought, I guess, that if there was regime change, that he was going to be getting the call to lead as a transitionary figure. At least he thought he was told that by the Trump regime. Here's what he had to say.

Chapter 3: How are Republicans reacting to Trump's Iran deal?

957.761 - 959.344 Ben Meiselas

Let's play this clip right here.

0

959.324 - 978.885

Not sure if you've heard these comments from President Trump at the G7 today. He said, the current Iranian leadership are very rational people. They are nice to deal with. They are strong and smart people. They are not radicalized and they are looking to help their country.

0

980.047 - 994.868 Reza Pahlavi

Does that hurt to hear that? Well, I'll wait for the next tweet, which might come in a few hours because we have seen a pattern of contradictory messages coming out. So I'm not going to judge by every headline that is coming out.

995.128 - 1003.019 Ben Meiselas

And then J.D. Vance held a press conference moments ago where he was asked, so is the United States going to invade Cuba next? Here's what Vance said.

0

1003.059 - 1019.918 J.D. Vance

Let's play it. You have to ask Marco about Cuba. That's not... Look, our view, go ahead in a second, but let me just actually ask this guy's question. Fundamentally in Cuba, it is a system that hasn't worked. They can't make any money.

1020.038 - 1046.175 Ben Meiselas

And then JD Vance, because of what thin skin he and Trump has, And the whole regime has to say, our nuclear deal was better than Obama's. Obama gave them billions of dollars of American money. We're not doing that. Obama allowed them to enrich. First off, Obama gave them far less money than you're giving them, number one. Number two, you are allowing them to enrich.

1046.196 - 1051.262 Ben Meiselas

Just read your stupid document, man. Read the document. Here, play this clip.

1051.242 - 1073.482 J.D. Vance

And where we're coming at it is we already destroyed your nuclear program. And so if you promise and show verifiable pathways to not rebuild it, then we're willing to give you some sanctions relief and things like that. So it's a fundamentally different perspective. Now, there are all these substantive differences as well. The Obama nuclear deal allowed enrichment. Ours will not.

1073.782 - 1090.502 J.D. Vance

The Obama deal allowed the accumulation of stockpiled weapons grade material. Ours is actually leading to the destruction of that stockpile. of enriched materials. So there are many differences. The Obama deal gave them over a billion dollars of American money. This deal gives them $0 of American money.

Chapter 4: What statements reflect the GOP's anger towards Trump?

1132.44 - 1134.603 J.D. Vance

And that's why the deal is set up in the way that it is.

1134.963 - 1144.318

Go ahead. President Trump said yesterday that he was going to blame you if the talks of the round go sideways. Are you worried that he's going to make you the fall guy?

0

1144.858 - 1165.108 J.D. Vance

No, not at all. I mean, I think the president was joking, but as he often does. But no, I think, look, the entire team has worked very well on this, and we've got this thing to a very good place for the American people. Now, I have seen some progressive criticisms of me personally saying, what experience does the vice president of the United States have with hostile high stakes negotiations?

0

Chapter 5: What does Trump's response reveal about his mindset?

1165.508 - 1185.952 J.D. Vance

And I would point those progressive critics to the fact that just two days ago, I spent over an hour on The View. So I actually have great experience in very hostile negotiations and I've used that. I mean, look, Joy Behar is way tougher than the Iranians and she and I are best friends now. So we're gonna get to a good place here. We're going to get to a good place. We're already at a good place.

0

1185.972 - 1192.598 J.D. Vance

It's just a question of whether we can really get the icing on the top of fundamentally transforming Iran's relationship with the world. Go ahead.
