LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): So Trey, I don't think it serves our audience by sugar coating it — there is some real dissent when it comes to this deal right now. There are people that support the president and believe that he's going to check Iran. But the details that have not been released that is — we're getting leaks every single day about them — some of those details are under scrutiny.
...
JONES: Well I think everyone knows that the president ultimately is going to make all the decisions no matter who is negotiating the deal. But there is some of the language that we're only getting from reports right now and we don't have the full text. And then they say the full text, Ainsley, is going to come out Friday. But until then, when the vice president comes in, being you know, the next man in charge after the president, got to ask him these questions about the deal.
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): I mean, look, you are right. We are going to ask these questions, and you do have the Wall Street Journal that's reporting the foreign ministry spokesperson over in Iran says Iran hasn't reached a final conclusion about the agreement. So, look, we are — this is good news. This is good news. At least they're talking. At least the president is saying the strait is open, it will be fully open on Friday. That's amazing news. We are already seeing gas prices going down. We are already seeing stocks doing really well after this news. So we just have to trust that our government and our leaders, that they know what they're doing, and we'll learn more on Friday. Hopefully there will be a signing ceremony. Hopefully Iran knows what's best for — I mean look, all their ships are at the bottom of the sea. You know, we've destroyed so many — what 80% of their ballistic missiles? 60%? I don't know the number. It's a high number. And so, we have destroyed much of their infrastructure, a lot of their stores have closed. We've interviewed people on the ground there, they are not in a good position, they are waiting in line for hours for gasoline. They want this to end. So, it's all positive right now. We'll learn more on Friday.
