Summary
Vice President JD Vance has been given a job no one really wants: ending the incredibly unpopular Iran war. He’s been tasked with leading negotiations with Iranian counterparts to find a lasting solution that he thinks could QUOTE “transform the Middle East.” But there are many, many obstacles in his way. And as the US and Iran attempt to hammer out not just an end to the war, but a new nuclear deal, President Trump seems markedly uninterested in the whole thing. So for more on the mess that is trying to end the Iran war, we spoke with Tommy Vietor. He’s the co-host of Crooked Media’s Pod Save the World.
And in headlines, Moscow’s Defense Ministry says Ukraine launched a major Thursday night attack, ex-national security adviser John Bolton pleads guilty to a single count of illegally retaining national defense information, and New York City approves a rent freeze on one- and two-year leases for people living in about 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.

Vance on our side, who before the talks even started was like, look, I don't really know anything about this stuff, but I'm just going to go in there and chat them up. Because we all know J.D. Vance's personality wins over everybody. Yes. I mean, that man, yeah. Could talk a woman in white gloves into a ketchup popsicle, you know what I mean? Just charm. |
| 0:21.1 | Exactly. |
| 0:21.7 | That's what we all say. |
| 0:22.5 | I'm Jane Koston, and this is what we all life. Take it away, 2015 MSNBC. We have read from the bench, there is a right to marriage equality. I repeat, speaking to you from the steps of the Supreme Court, there is a right to marriage equality. Red just from the bench now, waiting to get the opinions as they come running out of the court, Thomas. We do. |
| 0:54.5 | So this is a big day. |
| 0:55.6 | Again, Ari Melburgh is standing there telling us that the court has ruled in favor of marriage equality in the Ogreveld case. |

| 1:13.7 | On today's show, we talked to Tommy Vitor about the negotiations to maybe, possibly, perhaps, and |

| 1:53.4 | We can't deport that minute. |
| 1:54.6 | Hmm. |
| 1:58.6 | Mike Johnson, why do you think people are ashamed of being American right now? |
| 2:03.9 | Maybe it's the administration you coddle day in and day out while it runs roughshod over pretty much everybody. |
| 2:05.4 | Unfortunately for us, House Speaker Mike Johnson was just an opening act for the Faith and Freedom |
