Summary

Sean Hannity discusses J.D. Vance’s claims of a pro-Israel influence campaign derailing Iran negotiations, arguing instead that Iran’s actions caused the deal’s collapse. Guest Rich Lowry of National Review defends Israel’s military response to terrorism and criticizes the left’s anti-Zionist shift. The pair also dismisses theories linking Jeffrey Epstein to Mossad as baseless conspiracy theories and debate the likelihood of Marco Rubio challenging Vance for the Republican nomination.
