Valuetainment - “Nobody’s Getting $300 Billion Fund” - JD Vance On Iran’s Reconstruction Fund Explained

00:00:00.000 Meanwhile, Iran's holding the funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,

00:00:04.880 and guess when they're doing it?

00:00:06.240 Fourth of July.

00:00:06.980 Yeah.

00:00:07.320 That's when they're doing it.

00:00:08.060 You think it's accidental?

00:00:09.280 When is Fourth of July?

00:00:11.040 What day is it on?

00:00:11.860 When is Fourth of July?

00:00:12.740 I think it's on a Friday.

00:00:13.260 It's on a weekend now.

00:00:14.380 Is it?

00:00:14.840 It's a weekend.

00:00:15.300 So maybe it's a coincident.

00:00:17.120 Maybe it's a coincident.

00:00:18.120 Maybe it's like an accidental coincident.

00:00:20.320 By the way, he was killed 90 days ago?

00:00:22.660 How long was he killed to go?

00:00:23.640 Yeah.

00:00:23.980 He's been on ice.

00:00:25.120 I mean, how long did he go to the 72 version?

00:00:26.100 Yeah, but they needed safety to be able to do the ceremony the way they're going to do it.

00:00:30.020 They're probably going to do it pretty big.

00:00:31.920 Can you guys do me a favor?

00:00:33.000 Can you pull up the clip of what Vance said denies that Iran will receive billions of dollars of assets in the deal?

00:00:40.540 Because that's the kicker right there, right?

00:00:43.220 Is it going to be just the frozen assets?

00:00:45.340 The $300 billion is the real thing.

00:00:47.100 And even though U.S. is brokering the deal, if I'm not mistaken, it's not $300 billion that taxpayers will be paying.

00:00:53.340 I think it's an element of multiple different countries that are involved in that.

00:00:57.780 Is this it?

00:00:58.760 Guys about the money?

00:01:01.580 Yeah, and releasing frozen banks.

00:01:02.780 Okay, go for it.

00:01:03.640 Go for it.

00:01:04.540 People say that billions of dollars of assets will be released.

00:01:07.560 That's not true.

00:01:08.760 What is true is that Iran will have a much better and much more prosperous future if

00:01:14.480 they meet the obligations they make in this agreement.

00:01:16.780 We'll, of course, see.

00:01:17.840 That's one of the things we're going to work out in the technical talks that will follow

00:01:20.960 the official signing on Friday.

00:01:22.580 Mr. Vice President, it's Ed O'Keefe, and we're so glad you're here in part because as Republican

00:01:26.240 Senator Lindsey Graham said yesterday, you are the architect of this deal, so let's walk through

00:01:29.900 some of this. The Iranians are saying that they're going to have access to a $300 billion

00:01:33.860 reconstruction fund. True or false? Well, Ed, that's the sort of thing they

00:01:40.460 could have access to, funded by the Gulf Coast coalition, so long as they honor their end of

00:01:45.880 the obligation. I think that one of the things you're going to see, Ed, and people have to be

00:01:49.440 skeptical of this, is that the hardliners in the Iranian system will overemphasize the benefits

00:01:55.280 that Iran gets while underemphasizing all the things that they have to concede and all the

00:02:00.860 things they have to provide in order to get these benefits. So we absolutely are open to the Gulf

00:02:06.860 Coast countries investing in the reconstruction of Iran, but only if Iran ends their nuclear program, 0.57

00:02:13.600 ends their enriched stockpile of material and is really open to an inspections and enforcement 0.66

00:02:19.560 regime that gives the american people confidence they're never going to have a nuclear weapon so

00:02:23.800 i i think i think the dance you're going to see ed which is going to be interesting

00:02:27.420 is the iranian media especially the hardline media they're going to talk a lot about what

00:02:32.180 they get without talking about what they give it's important for all of us to correct that record

00:02:36.740 Well, pretty interesting.

00:02:38.860 Well, listen, one thing he didn't want to hear is you are the architect.

00:02:44.120 Yeah, exactly.

00:02:44.960 I mean, that is like, you know, this is lawyer talk.

00:02:48.540 Lawyer talk.

00:02:49.220 And this is presidential election talk, 2028.

00:02:54.460 He's setting J.D. Vance up or somebody is for a big win or a big fall.

00:03:00.340 Yeah, so this $300 billion is not reparations, just so you know.

00:03:03.800 It's not a guarantee.

00:03:04.820 Everybody wants to know who controls the money.

00:03:06.180 It's a lot of – you're right.

00:03:07.280 It's a lot of release of frozen funds.

00:03:09.920 Apparently, Gulf states are going to be involved.

00:03:11.660 Private investors are going to be involved.

00:03:13.820 U.S. is going to be involved.

00:03:15.680 It's not a check wire.

00:03:17.400 We're handing it to you.

00:03:18.280 Go do whatever you want to do.

00:03:19.800 There are certain things that they could do to screw up even getting the money.

00:03:23.320 But, Tom, your thoughts.

00:03:24.140 What else do you know about this $300 billion?

00:03:25.680 Well, I love the line that's in the 14 points.

00:03:28.120 while ensuring a financing of at least $300 billion agreed upon by both parties

00:03:35.900 for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran

00:03:40.900 together with regional partners to create a comprehensive plan that will be formulated within 60 days.

00:03:48.080 They're saying financing. They're not saying that this is more pallets like Obama sent over there.

00:03:53.300 They're talking about Gulf states.

00:03:55.440 So let me just make it really simple.

00:03:57.120 Do you remember everybody was upset when Dick Cheney, I mean, the United States arranged for Halliburton to go back and rebuild Iraq? 0.92

00:04:06.480 Well, now it's all the little Halliburtons that are in the Gulf states. 0.99

00:04:09.340 They're all going to get their piece of the pie. 1.00

00:04:11.880 And guess what? 0.96

00:04:13.640 Iran can pay for it with oil.

00:04:15.680 And so they're saying, Pat, it's a $300 million financing.

00:04:20.160 A lot of other countries would be involved.

00:04:22.660 And so it's not pallets of cash the way Obama did previously.

00:04:27.540 And what you hope, what you hope, since Trump is a construction guy,

00:04:32.080 the way you build buildings is you meet certain thresholds

00:04:35.580 and then you get certain draws.

00:04:37.660 You don't just get the money up front if you want to be bonded.

00:04:42.060 You meet certain thresholds and then you get a draw and then a draw and a draw.

00:04:46.880 You know that's how it's going to be.

00:04:48.140 I would think, listen, Trump is a construction, that's his business.

00:04:53.820 That's right.

00:04:54.800 And he's used construction throughout his presidency,

00:04:58.540 and I can't imagine him rebuilding anything without certain thresholds

00:05:05.260 and construction-like draws.

00:05:07.420 And I think one of those draws is going to be the dust.

00:05:11.920 Yeah, and by the way, the key in there is you don't get any of that.

00:05:17.000 So, one, the Hormuz has to stay open.

00:05:18.700 You cannot do anything.

00:05:19.720 You have to agree to the terms.

00:05:21.680 And if you don't release the enriched uranium that Trump said,

00:05:24.780 U.S. needs to see it, I don't want to have another country see it.

00:05:27.080 I want to see it.

00:05:28.500 If that doesn't happen, you're not getting that set up in place

00:05:31.120 to be able to help you out.

00:05:32.180 None of that's going to be taking place, Adam.

00:05:34.140 Hopefully.

00:05:34.740 Hopefully.

00:05:35.240 I agree.

00:05:36.200 My opinion, they're never going to see that $300 billion.

00:05:39.180 They could have called it $18 trillion gazillion.

00:05:41.420 They're never going to see that money.

00:05:42.600 Why?

00:05:42.840 because it's all predicated on if they change their behavior or not.

00:05:48.320 Remember in 2016, we all learned the word quid pro quo.

00:05:53.180 It's a quid pro quo.

00:05:54.680 This entire deal is based on the premise that they're going to be rewarded for good behavior. 0.99

00:06:00.900 So Iran, the biggest terrorist regime in the world, the smelly kid on the playground, 0.98

00:06:04.580 is just going to overnight be like, we want to be friends with everybody. 1.00

00:06:08.140 There's no chance that's going to happen.

00:06:09.680 So whether this is $300 billion or $300 gazillion, they're never going to see this money because they're not going to change their behavior.

00:06:16.300 It's great for marketing.

00:06:17.640 Trump did an amazing job on his birthday cutting this deal.

00:06:21.260 We all know that once midterms is done, I don't think Iran is going anywhere. 0.95

00:06:25.660 We'll probably be reengaged with Iran after midterm. 0.97

00:06:28.460 If you are a father and you want to find out how to raise strong kids in this crazy time that we're living in, I'm hosting a free webinar. 0.97

00:06:36.200 Again, watch this video.

00:06:37.060 Go for it.

00:06:38.120 Fathers, one of the most powerful quotes I ever heard was the following.

00:06:41.140 Your ceiling is your kid's floor.

00:06:43.920 Let me say it one more time.

00:06:45.280 Your ceiling is your kid's floor.

00:06:47.980 The more we raise the standards on the way we lead, on the way we live, on the way we make money,

00:06:53.420 on the way we take care of our kids, that becomes the floor for them to go above it.

00:06:57.640 So if you're watching this, I know deep down inside, we all want to be great fathers.

00:07:01.300 Legacy matters to you.

00:07:02.380 You want to raise them well.

00:07:03.560 You want to look at them, do great things, bigger than you and I did in our lives, right?

00:07:07.540 If that's important to you, because I know it is, July 1st, 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time,

00:07:12.900 I'm doing a free webinar to share with you what's worked for me and what hasn't.
