Hosts question reported Iran signing and cite U.S. leverage
Summary
In a June 13 recorded program, presenters raised doubts about a reported Iran signing and discussed U.S. leverage, including a claim that frozen Iranian assets could be used to pay for damages; hosts urged verification and expressed skepticism of Iran's intentions.
Terry Martin and Jeff Berkowitz discussed news reports that a signing related to the conflict with Iran could occur June 14, saying the administration should seek a verifiable record of any agreement and warning that Iran could not be trusted.
"They're liars. They're liars," Jeff Berkowitz said while describing skepticism about an electronic signing and the need for visible proof. Terry Martin said he had heard the U.S. Treasury was holding frozen Iranian assets and that, "the treasury is going to pay for the cost of repairs out of the Iranian money," a claim he attributed to a report he encountered that day.
The hosts debated the credibility of Iran's commitments, with Berkowitz saying he wanted direct evidence of nuclear rollback — "I wanna see that uranium. I wanna see the nuclear dust." Martin and Berkowitz also discussed the role of proxies in Lebanon and described terms they said were part of a ceasefire arrangement restricting Iranian-linked forces near the Israeli border.
The program presented these statements as commentary and as claims the hosts had heard or seen in reporting. The hosts did not cite an official document or provide independent verification of the Treasury claim during the segment.
