Starting point is 00:00:01 Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweet bit of dirty. I know this life's meant for me. The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever size. Right here. You are a one of one? My son's right there.
Starting point is 00:00:21 I think I've ever said this before. Okay, obviously this was a very busy weekend. Lots going on. We did an emergency podcast on Saturday, but I know. know we got a lot of stories to cover. Chaminé is officially killed. And they had to find this replacement. Allegedly he is killed.
Starting point is 00:00:42 There are some reports that the previous president, Ahmadine Najad, was killed. He was supposed to be on a podcast last Friday. But last minute they canceled. I got an update for you here momentarily that even, I don't even think the market has updated on. And then there's a lot of other things going on. Obviously, nobody wants to see a war happen. And there's a lot of back and forth. in a market right now with what is taking place.
Starting point is 00:01:07 But we'll address that. Some numbers to just give you right off the bat from Iran's side, at least 555 Iranians have been killed, attacks to 130 cities, hundreds of civilians injured, several service members for the U.S. Four U.S. service members have been killed. Five U.S. service members are seriously wounded in Israel. 10 killed, 31 killed in Lebanon.
Starting point is 00:01:33 mainly because of the attacks on Beirut and the southern regions. And then when you think about Israel, they, I believe, brought up 100,000 new reservists that want to come out to defend as well because of concern with the missiles. Many Gulf states have been hit. We'll talk about that. U.S. Central Command says over 1,000 Iranian targets being hit. Lots of stories to cover there and we'll go through all of that with Iran.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Also, the critics, what they're saying about it, people pushing back. This is not the right thing to do. Kamala Harris saying certain things. and in old recordings of what the president said about Iran many, many, many, many years ago, one even with Rush Limbaugh when Rush was around and he straight up when dropped an F-bomb. Just the first time when somebody had dropped an F-bomb on the campaign,
Starting point is 00:02:17 everybody started reacting to it. But aside from that, a lot of other things going on as well, Luigi Manjone exposed, escapes federal debt penalty after federal prosecutors declined to appeal judges ruling. Story came out about Duke's lacrosse, false rape accuser, Crystal, Mangum, released from prison after murder conviction. And then we have the tragic event that took place in Austin over the weekend, Austin Bar,
Starting point is 00:02:45 mass shooter that came out that we found out who this person was, possibly motivated by Iran attacks, Koran found in Carr, as FBI terrorism after two killed, 14 injured. Rob is the latest update still two and four. 14 or is it three now? Because I've seen two and I've seen three. If you can verify that Pete Hecks said, bands military from attending Princeton, Columbia and other elite universities, wokeness and weakness is what he calls it. Wokeness and weakness. An elite doctor served Jeffrey Epstein while treating his girls. Story came out from New York Times. Tom's got some
Starting point is 00:03:23 thoughts on that. Lauren Bolbert likes taking pictures of Clinton's. First, it was Hillary, now it's Bill. And obviously, Bill was deposed and they asked them about Trump. And he had some interesting things to say about Trump, that there was nothing involved. He even didn't know who the women were in the infamous jacuzzi picture that was posted. And then aside from that, there's a bunch of other things that would get through. If we get a chance, Mamdani, AOC, amongst other far-leftists, piling on Trump over Iran strikes. There's a whole thing going on with Ilhan Omar, reckless abuse of power. I already said stuff about Kamala.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Miami heat phones are ringing off the hook as California billionaires look to drop nine figures on homes into 305. Jamie Diamond is warning of a pre-financial crisis parallel says some people doing dumb things. And by the way, while the market opens, we'll react to it as well.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And then you have Shai LeBuff, maybe one of my favorite people. When this guy interviews, you just want to, you don't know what he's going to say next. and, you know, he said what he fears the most, big gay men. He's afraid of him. And we're going to find out why I'll have him explain it to you, why he says that. He says, one, the guys was touching his leg, and he wasn't comfortable about it. But we'll talk about that.
Starting point is 00:04:41 There's Jake Tapper, rulefully reveals CNN will be affected by Paramount's looming takeover of the network. They're worried a bunch of people are going to lose their jobs. And then we've got a couple of other stories that are updated stories that will get into. Having said that, listen, as we're going through this, the one thing that we can't recognize enough for what they do is the armed forces, the folks in the Army, Navy, Marines, you know, Air Force, every one of these guys on what they're doing. Without them, you and I wouldn't have the freedom that we have to be safe to go out there and do what we're doing. Sometimes you forget about the military, but if you're somebody that served in the military and you believe the future looks bright, or you have you. have a friend or family that does and you want to recognize them. Rob, if you can go up, VT merch, we have an armed force collection. If you can go down a little bit, there's two hats
Starting point is 00:05:34 that every time we get them, we can't keep them on. That's one of them, but keep going down, keep going down, keep going down, keep going down. That one to the right, you see that one, zoom in? This one, whenever it comes in, it goes just as quickly. I love that. It's an incredible, by the way, if you want to get to, yeah, the future looks bright, green camo, and then also, Rob, go back, if you can, there's another one as well on the bottom left. Keep going, keep going, keep going right there. Those two. Those two are two of the most popular hats that we have for folks in the military that were with Future looks bright on the right side.
Starting point is 00:06:04 So put the link below, Rob, go to v.tmerch.com, place an order, especially at a time like this, represent our military for the patriotic job that they're doing out there. And with that being said, let's get right into it. I think it's fair to say we start off with Khomeini. I know I talked about it. I've done a couple things on this, but Khomeini, A, the service. Supreme Leader of Iran is dead after U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, along with 40 top leaders. This is a New York Post story. Rob, I think you may have a video on this on page 17.
Starting point is 00:06:40 So Iran's tyrannical Supreme Leader, Ali Khamene, was killed Saturday in a non-president of joint military attack by the U.S. and Israel called Operation Epic Fury, which President Trump said would give Iranians their greatest chance to take back their country. Khomeini, one of the most evil people in history, is dead, said Trump on truth social, 15 hours after the start of the onslaught. This is not only justice for the people of Iran, but for all great Americans, and those people from many countries throughout the world that have been killed or mutilated by Khomeini and his gang of bloodthirsty thugs, hours late Iranian state media confirmed that Khomeini has been marty. The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran has been martyred. Tassim News shared on X, we hereby informed the devoted, martyr-loving people of Iran that is eminence Ayatollah, Khomein, the Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution, was martyred in a joint attack by the criminal
Starting point is 00:07:35 America and the Zionist regime on the morning of Monday, the 9th of Esfond, the tyrant's daughter, grandchild, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law were also killed in the joint military attack, according to Iranian state media, though it's unclear where they died. And people are wondering and what's going to happen here. Rob, if you can go to the New York Times cover on how they announced Chameh's getting killed, very different angle New York Times took. Obviously, they got a lot of heat for this.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Ayatollah Ali Chameh, Hardline Cleric, who made Iran a regional power dies at 86. That's New York Times for you. That's a real post. That's a real post. Okay. Rob, can you verify that being a real post? I think it is a real post.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Say that again? Is it like, who was a, the Soleimani, when they died, you know what they were calling him? A freedom fighter. Yeah, they were calling him a freedom fighter. So, Adam, your thoughts on this? Well, the world is a safer place now. Thank God we have a President Trump who is the leader of the free world.
Starting point is 00:08:36 So to me, this is not an Israel thing. This is not a Middle East thing. This is a civilized world versus a radical Shiite theology that is unfortunately not going anywhere. Do you see the people still all over the world? that the Ayatollah Khomeini has died. Have you seen any of these videos? Well, what people in Pakistan, people in Iraq. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:00 People just absolutely distraught that this villainous terrorist supporter, who's basically funded terrorism all over the world, is dead. It means this. No matter what you do in life, no matter who you are, no matter what you got going on, you're always going to have haters. And to me, this comes down to winners versus losers. Trump, despite all the hate,
Starting point is 00:09:22 all the hate, despite all the rhetoric, despite all the naysayers, this guy's just an absolute winner. And the alliance between Trump, Netanyahu, the American military, which is incredible. And the IDF of the Mossad is unbreakable, it seems. And they just look at the scoreboard. To all the haters out there, look at the scoreboard. I'll say this. The Ayatollah, all he did was talk. We're going to bring the enemies to its knees.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Death to America. Death to Israel. Look at you now. Look at all your friends. Look at everyone affiliated with you. Nasrallah, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Dun, Yaya Sinwar, Gaza, done. Ishmael-Hanea. All they do is talk.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And what they're great at, the Ayatollah is subjugating their own people. Whereas you have people like Netanyahu that's being praised in Iran. Imagine this. Have you seen the videos of people in Iran praising Trump? Thank you. the people of Iran praising Benjamin Netanyahu praising him, thank you. Is this this video right here calling him BB June? BB June means like Dear Beebe, Bibi.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Validate this for me. This is what they're saying, BPD, if you can. I can't hear the audio, guys. Where is this one? This is apparently in Iran. Shouting from their rooftops. Dear Bibi, thank you, Bibi. Bibi June.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Imagine that. That's the equivalent of Osama bin Laden attack United States. And the United States cheering for a bin Laden. The world is upside down. And Trump and BB Netanyahu, that alliance, they've tuned out the noise. They focused on the signal. And they've eliminated the greatest terrorist regime that the world has seen in the last 50 years. Thank goodness.
Starting point is 00:11:10 You know, it's interesting while you were talking about that. I mean, I had not seen that. What I did see is the amount of love they're giving to Trump, Iranians around the world. By the way, a lot of these guys that are giving credit to Trump, remember, they don't like him. 40% of them didn't vote for them. Many Iranians are not voting for Trump. They're sometimes more democratic than Republican, but now they're sitting there saying, this is the guy that had the audacity to do it.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I'm going to show you two clips. Here's Kamala Harris. When asked about what happens if Iran attacks, and look how firm and strong Kamala responds with. And I look at the way Trump responds with. And then I'm going to show you a clip from 10, 11 years ago. of what Trump said to Rush Limbaugh. Go ahead, Rob.
Starting point is 00:11:58 To Iran. Don't. As President Biden said, just don't. Exactly. Very threatening. One word. Pretty straightforward. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:12:14 They've got to be stopped. Big difference. The fact that he said... I see what happened. I see what happened right there. Do me favor. Go to the one with him and the interview with Rush Limbaugh right there. Watch this.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Go ahead, Rob. And Iran knows that. And they've been put on notice. If you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, We are going to do things to you that have never been done before. And Iran knows that. So say what you want. At least they're being consistent.
Starting point is 00:12:43 And then Mike Walts was at a United Nations, I believe, hearing with Iranians Sunday after Khomeini getting killed. And look what one of the Iranian leaders said, be respectful. And look how we respond. Go ahead, Rob. I have one word only. I advise to the representative of the United States to be polite. It will be better for yourself and the country you representative. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:10 The representative of the United States has asked for the floor to make a further statement. Frankly, I'm not going to dignify this with another response, especially as this representative sits here in this body representing a regime that has killed tens of thousands of its own people and imprisoned many more simply for wanting freedom from your tyrant. tyranny. Thank you, Mr. President. Yeah, be kind. Be kind. Be polite. It's better for you and your people. Yeah, yeah. Be kind and be polite to your own people
Starting point is 00:13:44 with the people that you're killing. Be kind and be polite to the people that you guys have heard. Be kind and be polite to all the people in Iran that you took out, young kids. Be kind and be polite to your own folks of what they're talking about, what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Tom, your thoughts on the specific to Khomeini and some of these things that we just discussed. So the world a better place without him. But there's a leadership vacuum right now in Iran, and I want to see it filled with people that will be more reasonable, people that will return Iran to what it was. It was a tourist spot for the West. It was rich. It was Persian. It was not Arabic. It was Persian. And it had a rich history, and it was working with the West. Not everything was perfect. But I want to see these people get back to where they were 47 years ago. That's what I want to say.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I don't want to see war come out of this long term. The regime change, what we have to do. I'm a little worried about this weapons of mass destruction chapter that we went through that was not correct. I'll forever be a critic of Dick Cheney on that. But I'm glad he's gone. I'm glad leadership is gone. I'm glad the people are celebrating in the street. And I want to see them celebrating at the voting box and to see at the ballot box and to see the Iran become what it was.
Starting point is 00:15:03 to see the hearts of these people that are cheering be served. That's what I want to say. But I'm glad that the maniacs are gone. I'm glad that many of the underlings. So it doesn't look like it was just, oh, we're going to kill the leader and let it go. It looks like that there is a lot of effort that was made in to get the entire regime. And I'm glad to see it. Got it.
Starting point is 00:15:27 By the way, you were playing a clip of the celebration, Rob, all around the world. The Iranians dancing. Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Britain, France, Germany. There's even a clip of a reporter working for CBS. His boss calls him and says, hey, stop playing that clip and stop recording with the audience behind the Iranians that are saying Trump, Trump, Trump, stop. And he says, I'm not going to stop.
Starting point is 00:15:49 And he defies his boss at CBS. Go ahead, Rob. Play this clip. Watch the Trump chance are coming. Right, Reza Paladin. See that? Trump is coming. Ready?
Starting point is 00:16:14 You see him to shoot Trump? Thank you, Trump. Listen, Tommy. Thank you, Trump. Did you hear him just shrug? He goes, I'm going. Thank you, Beez. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:16:25 CBS is telling him, don't do it. How do you feel about it? How much you want to bet the person that's texting has orange hair and has a bullring in their nose that's saying, don't do that? I want to, I want to say something, Pat. I think, you know, for the people out there, all the people in their basements on these podcasts that just have this one, sighted brainwashed mentality that everything is Israel. Trump is owned by BB. He's BB's big.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Like, they clearly just listen to a handful of podcasters, and they have no idea what the hell is going on. They don't know nothing about geopolitics, and they have absolutely no idea how gangster President Trump is. Okay, in the span of two months, Tom, we choked off China's discounted oil flow from Venezuela and now Iran, okay? China needs that oil to keep coming in to be the global influence and have its power. Russia also lost cheap weapons and their drones that they've been getting to fight freaking Ukraine that was coming from Iran.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Okay. If you take your Israel time out for a second, everybody knows. I'm critical about some of the stuff that BB does and Israel's a government does. Put that to the side. I can be objective on both sides. Take a step back and look at the board strategically, okay? Pressure from all these freaking angles. That's perspective.
Starting point is 00:17:47 What he is doing is so freaking impressive, but a lot of people are so stuck on just one thing, they can't get out of this freaking cloud, okay? And by the way, Islam has collapsed in Iran. 70% of Iranians, which is about 65 million people, have left Islam because of what they've done. When these people came in, when the Ayatollah came in, they had to change their flag, Pat.
Starting point is 00:18:08 It had that freaking awesome line, which I saw them going back to. Now it used to have that Islam writing and all that stuff, two-thirds of the mob, which is 50 colors are the same but the symbol in the middle is now traditional 50,000 and 75% the nation will mocks have closed due to low attendance people are done people are done and I'm so freaking happy for the people I can care less about your oh everything's baby Israel the people I have yet to see one negative video not one Adam no I'm being that serious I haven't seen one video where they went why the hell would Trump do
Starting point is 00:18:41 that why did he get up with Israel and so do me a favor shut up if you You're not from there. If you don't have family like we do, you're not from that place. Please do me a favor. Go back to playing video games in your basement and shut the hell up. You don't know what the hell you're talking about, period.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Well said, Vincent. I try. Yeah, but the challenge with this right now, Vinnie, you're making a very important point because it's what does that ideology produce, right? Does it make the place a better place? Very simple. So why are people leaving?
Starting point is 00:19:09 Why are they leaving? Why are they going to a different place? And the thing about it, the women are forced to cover their heads, women don't want that and if God forbid a little piece of your hair sticks out they beat you to death and nothing happens okay and all these all the gay people that are pro this pro that they throw gay people off of buildings they will kill you're going to jail and you will disappear okay it's not the money is gone to crap nothing's good
Starting point is 00:19:34 in the people for 47 years have been stuck we liberated them oh is Israel going to get are they happy of course they are of course they are anybody that says death to america let me explain something to you Everybody out there, I have an analogy, Tom, if your neighbor, if your neighbor across the street was killing people in his own family, threatening you, shooting at your house, throwing stuff over there. What would you do? Would you just sit back and go, you know what? Keep letting him get tougher. Let him get some bombs and let him, hopefully one day he'll get strong enough to kill me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:06 That talk, you could talk to talk, bro, but Donald Trump is walking the walk, and I feel a thousand times safer with these guys not having control. You make a great point, but you got to remember, a lot of Americans are still sore, I am, from the deception of the weapons of mass destruction. It was a lot of American lives, a ton of American money, and what did it get? We turned a bunch of five-foot rocks in Iraq into two-foot rocks. That's what happened. And eventually, we found a dictator hiding in a hole, his own people took him, and then they hung him. And people are still bristling from that. I understand the raw emotions of certain Americans.
Starting point is 00:20:41 However, my raw emotions are, I'm with the people. I love that we have liberated this. I love the people there because I ask a question. Question, America. For all of you that are upset about this, is say, Trump said no wars and now we got into wars, I get it. I'm on that page. However, what happens when there's a nuclear Iran?
Starting point is 00:21:00 You think we're walking on eggshells with a nuclear in North Korea? What happens if there's a nuclear Iran? We will not be able to stay home if they launched a missile at NATO because we have a treaty that says that we would protect it. So if you think it's bad now, oh, we should stay out of their business, we should do this. Look at what the people say and then ask yourself a question. What will a fully nuclear with ballistic missiles Iran under these leaders, not the Persian people at one piece? These violent leaders under the regime, what will they do with that?
Starting point is 00:21:33 And what happens? And then what happens? We're in global conflict. That's the reality. This prevents that. And Tom, there's a big, really, really fast. There's a huge difference, though, between 9-11, Iraq, Dick Cheney, PS weapons of mass destruction, which is the reason that I left. And people like, well, you're a Republican? No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:21:54 That's absolutely wrong, and it's disgusting what they did. This is a different situation. The Iranian people on their own said, enough is enough. We're done. It took 47 years. They hit the streets, and they were getting murdered. They were getting slaughtered, and we took the right opportunity. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Are we going to benefit? Yes. Are the people happy? that's all that matters to me. The people are happy. End of story. I saw a video of a lady pat. Cry.
Starting point is 00:22:19 As if somebody in her family died, she was losing her mind. The husband's like, what's wrong? She's like, they killed Khomeini. They finally killed him. And people are ecstatic around the world. It's a way better place without this freaking guy and that regime in place.
Starting point is 00:22:32 I want to show you this with Rita Panohi from Sky News Australia. Reaction when it was announced that Khomeini is killed. And just watch this. This is an Iranian as well. who was, you know, her family's from Iran. I think she's also from Iran, if I'm not mistaken. She's a native version. She's incredible.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Go ahead and play this clip. Go forward. I want to conclude this editorial with this message to be light supreme leader. Pedersag, Khark besatat, Bezos to Jehannan. You know what she said?
Starting point is 00:23:06 Let me tell you what she said. Pedarsak, son of a... You know what? Yeah. And then go back. Go back. Burn in hell. I don't know what the second one she said.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Go, press play. Hedarsag, chak besat it, besought to jahannam. Chak besat it, like dirt on your head. And you're buried. And then may you burn in hell. Yeah. So listen, I mean, this is somebody in Sky News that is a, she's a face of Sky News. In many cases, so Iranians are celebrating at them.
Starting point is 00:23:37 You look like you want to say something. Yeah, well, she's absolutely right. And I just want to give a shout out. So this may or may not be the independence day for the people of Iran or the great people of Persia. I mean, we've lived through you're 47 years old now, 46 years old, 47 years old. Tom's doing his thing. This might be the most monumental moment since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Like this cannot be understated how important this is.
Starting point is 00:24:03 I also understand as an American, we do not want endless wars. Trump, I think, per the rules of war in America, has up to 60 days to go. go to Congress. I think this is going to be done in a matter of weeks, certainly not months. Nobody wants to see endless wars, but if you've been following what Trump has been doing year after year, episode after episode, this guy gets in and gets out, does not get in these four entanglements. So I understand that people do not want to get into endless wars. Nobody wants that. But does Trump, has Trump ever done that at all? So I don't see that happening. All the last thing I'll say was this. In war and in politics, there's winners and losers.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Now, Trump and BB and our allies have proven over time and time and again, they are the winners. Who are the losers? So the Ayatollah, the loser, the terror proxies, all losers, the progressive left that have been marching day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, losers. You effectuated nothing. Nothing's changed. You haven't stopped America. You haven't stopped Trump. You haven't stopped Israel, the IDF from winning.
Starting point is 00:25:09 You haven't stopped the idea. You're losers. Yes, I'm talking to you, AOC, Gretto Thumburg, the Young Turks, Anna Casparian, Medi Hassan, Mark Ruffalo in Hollywood, all losers. Every single thing, check at the scoreboard, guys. Also on the woke Reich that they talk about, the Tucker camp, the Candace Owens camp, the Dave Smith, losers. Every single thing you've said has been wrong.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Trump's been right about everything. Isn't that a famous saying? Well, it turns out he was. So it's just, it's funny to me to just sit back and watch. America win while the losers cry and try to make up excuses as to why America shouldn't be doing this. The world is so much of a safer place with the Ayatollah gone and we should all be thankful. Let me tell you, I understand the libertarian argument. I get that. I understand the libertarian argument of no wars, stay out of it, let me live my life, all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I understand that. The problem with that is that only works if you start your country that way. I don't know if that makes sense. Like if I start a new country, the problem with the libertarian, I'm naturally more of a libertarian. I've always been since I was a kid. Like, leave me alone. Let me go make my own money.
Starting point is 00:26:20 If I do something, great, there's a punishment. I don't want to get into it. If I don't start the fight, let's not have a fight, let's kind of do business together and let's move up. But unfortunately, the leaders that came previous to the current president have already sparked. Like once sin is out there and you all of a sudden say, guys, let's try to be peaceful. It's done. Someone's son was killed. Someone's father was killed.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Unfortunately, this continues. And now they're doing it to their own people and they can't wait to do it to you due to our family. And God forbid that happens to us. So I actually fully understand a libertarian argument. There's a very noble side to it. The part I don't like is when it gets down to talking about how, you know, Trump is this and Trump is that and Trump is own and Trump is. And by the way, Guess what? In the area of debate and conversation, anybody can say anything. And long term, you know how the market works? Here's how the market works. I've learned this, having been in business and competition for 25 years, here's what I've learned. You don't know where people are going to be five years from now, 10 years from now, 20 years from now.
Starting point is 00:27:27 You don't know. Everybody is, you know, jockeying for position. Let me just say this, and I'm going to get a reaction, and boom, and let me just say this. And that is a business model, the rage-baiting model, right? And then every once in a while, you're like, wait, what did Federman say, a Democrat? Yep. Federman? Didn't we call him crazy? Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:48 And now he seems like the logical player? Yes. Now we're linking the word reasonable to Federman. Yes. Watch this clip here from Federman on CNN. Go ahead, Rob. Have people ever read that the War Powers Act? You know, what's required of the president is to provide 48 hours of men.
Starting point is 00:28:06 notification, and then he or she have 60 days, up to 90 days to withdraw those troops, you know, before Congress approves that. Neither of those have been activated. He did provide that to the gate of the gang of eight, and there are no American troops on the ground now. This was an incredibly, incredibly precise and successful strikes, and they eliminated most of the leadership. So here we are. So yes, I do support that. Why can't the entire world celebrate that he's dead for what he's done to the world? By the way, you know what is crazy? Mark Kelly, who is super critical of Trump,
Starting point is 00:28:47 Mark Kelly said this is a war that shouldn't have happened and ta-da-da-da-da. And then they ask Mark Kelly, are you glad Khamene's killed? Yes. So can you imagine Mark Kelly, who is against any of that. But when it comes down to Khamenei, you're all of a sudden, yes, yes, this is a good move that's taking place. By the way, for the people that talk about Iran, and should they do it, should they not do it, why are you doing this? What did Iran ever do to America?
Starting point is 00:29:11 If you go through the history and you look at the stuff, you can easily pull it up to see what Iran's done, directly, indirectly, proxy, not proxy. They try to take out your president. That's what they try to do, okay? They literally try to take out your president. 79 to 81, they attacked the Iranian-backed embassy, seizure of the embassy. My aunt was there in the embassy. You ever seen a movie Argo? my aunt, my dad's sister who died last year was there.
Starting point is 00:29:37 My father was trying to get her out. She eventually married a Marine and came to the States and stayed in America her entire life. Who did that? His camp, Khomeini's camp, Chaminet's camp. How many hostages did they have until Reagan came in? For how many days? What was it, 60-something hostages?
Starting point is 00:29:53 For how many days? 444 days? What happened the day Reagan got elected and he became president? He got up and then immediately, Khomeini did what? No, no, no, no, no. Don't mess with Reagan.
Starting point is 00:30:05 He'll kill us. But don't worry about these liberals like Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden, Obama. They won't do anything. They're fools. They'll give us money and they'll sympathize with us. And then who's the next Reagan that comes up that's even tougher and crazier and more unpredictable than him? A guy that's in house right now. What are we supposed to do?
Starting point is 00:30:21 Sit on the sidelines. And then Hezbollah, in 1983, the Hezbollah linked bombing in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. Marines, service members and barracks and 17 Americans at the embassy. 1996 Iran Hezbollah Towers, bombing in Saudi Arabia killing U.S. 19 U.S. airmen, 2003 to 2019, Iranian-backed militias in Iraq
Starting point is 00:30:41 provided training. EFPs and IEDs responsible for at least 603 U.S. troop dead and many more injured, accounting for more than 17 percent of total U.S. fatalities in Iraq. 2000 U.S. coal attack, very busy, embassy
Starting point is 00:30:57 bombings and plot assassination attempts. The IRGC-backed proxy attacks and U.S. forces in response to U.S. support for Israel. 2023, Iran-backed militias have engaged in over 216 attacks in U.S. bases, forces in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, resulting in 180 wounded and three killed. I can go on and on and on and tell you how vicious these people are. By the way, how do you look at somebody and say if they're capable of killing tens of thousands of their own people, you've seen the number 32,000, you've seen the number 100,000 during protesting,
Starting point is 00:31:29 What do you think they do to their enemies? Like, think about it. You ever seen these movies? We're in the movie, guys are like, yeah, take out the son or take out this. If they kill their own son, what do you think they're capable of doing? Who are you to them?
Starting point is 00:31:44 Nothing. And by the way, this whole thing with Chaminet that took place, you know, I was asked the question, should they take him out or not, I think a few months ago, and I said, I don't know, he's 86. He's about to die anyways, okay?
Starting point is 00:31:58 So why go after him? You know what the statement was? No, no, no. Let's go take out the top. And let's go show that we can find anybody and anywhere. I don't care where you want to hide. Think about it this way. How long do you think Khomeini had a chance to hide?
Starting point is 00:32:16 For how long do you think he's known that they're going to attack him? Let me ask you one more time. How long do you think they had to hide Khomeini? Can we say months? Can we say at least weeks? And even, so imagine we play hide and go seek. You have weeks to go hide. I got to come find you.
Starting point is 00:32:34 How hard will it be for me to come find you? And they still found you. You understand what I'm saying? They still found you and they killed you. And then anybody else that wanted to replace you, they killed you as well. Iranians right now are sitting there. The only concern I got right now is while you're looking at the attacks. Let me give you the pros and the cons.
Starting point is 00:32:52 If you get into a fight with someone and say eight people, people are on your side, okay? And you're fighting, a group's coming after you. And then all of a sudden, those people that are attacking you, the eight that are on your side, they're like, listen, leave the guy alone. You start hitting them with a baseball bat and you shoot at them. Guess what they're going to do? And then all of a sudden, very quickly, who has your back?
Starting point is 00:33:16 Who has Iran's back right now? Actually, who has Iran's back right now? Who? The Hezbollahs and all these guys that they fund? That's a different story. Who has their back? Turkey's sitting on the sideline. Russia's even sitting on the sideline
Starting point is 00:33:30 because they know they need that Zelensky deal with Ukraine. They know they need Trump. China's sitting on the sidelines. Oh, shit. I know we said $400 billion are going to put into Iran for 25 years, but, dude, that guy's crazy and he just lost the tariffs with the Supreme Court. He's capable of doing anything to us,
Starting point is 00:33:46 and he's still going to be there for three years. Listen, Iran, we'd love to have your back, but you're on your own right now. Maybe we can help you out with a tweet. Like, stay out of the way, don't attack anything. but that's about it. Where is Iran right now? Solo.
Starting point is 00:33:59 What happens when in a fight you end up being all by yourself because you even killed your allies? You hit up your allies. They almost shot up Burskhalifa. What is that highest? The Burskhalifa, right? And then they have to intersect it. There's a guy in a property that is sitting in his property
Starting point is 00:34:16 and literally a drone attacks four or five stories above him. He's recording this. Have you seen this footage? Rob, I don't know if you have this footage on. I don't think this is the one. There is one where he's literally sitting there. Oh, is that the one? There is one rob.
Starting point is 00:34:30 This footage is vicious. It goes right above him and hits the property that he's staying at. I don't think this is the one. It's another one. No, it's out the window and all the orange sparks. It's his window and he starts screaming, crying. So look, where they are right, now they're cornered. So let's kind of process what they do next.
Starting point is 00:34:51 That's kind of where I want to go to next. Yep. Now that they're cornered, what happens when somebody is cornered? They lash out. They lash out. I got kids, four of them. If one of the kids is cornered, you know what they'll do? They'll lash out and they break the other kid's toy.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Or they'll throw something that's the other kid's favorite, whatever, right? That's the one, Rob. Watch this. Watch this, folks. Go ahead. He's recording it from his apartment and a few stories above him got hit. Okay? Look at this.
Starting point is 00:35:21 So to me, when we go back to Iran, Khomeini, you have to realize these guys they celebrate when they get killed for their God. To them, that's a celebration. To them, it's the kamikaze model, right? It's like, listen, I did it for them. And it's not even the 72 virgins we're talking about, although, you know, by the way, Khomeini, you guys know, very honorable man, right? He was supposed to be Gandhi. You guys want to know what Khomeini once said about what to do to women in prison? Have you ever heard him?
Starting point is 00:35:52 No. You want to verify this, Rob? He once said female prisoners who are virgins must be raped before execution to prevent them from entering heaven. Isn't he an amazing guy to say something like that? That's the guy that died. When he died, I was in Iran. June 3rd 89. I was there when the guy died.
Starting point is 00:36:07 They didn't kill him. He died. This guy who was supposed to be a hero for them, female prisoners who are virgins must be raped before execution. If you go pull up the craziest thing he said in one of the books that he wrote, you would sit there and say, no human being, you would never write that, you would never subscribe to that. Our audience, if you're watching this, even though if you're part of the 30% that watches, that's 20% that maybe you don't agree with that. Deep down inside, you'll be like, I don't subscribe to that. Well, they did about women and girls. About woman and girl, virgin female prisoners should be
Starting point is 00:36:38 raped before execution so they do not go to heaven. Founding leader of the Islamic regime in Iran, what do you think about this guy? Does this sound like a noble man? Does this sound like a guy you want your son to look up to? Does this sound like a man you want to follow? Does this sound like a man you want to give the book and say, Hey, son, read this book. Don't read Marcus Aurelius Meditations. Don't read Thomas Sowell's books. Don't read Lincoln's books.
Starting point is 00:37:01 No, no, read Khomeini's book because what he said is, Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so they don't end up in heaven. This is their values and principles. So what does it mean? When you handle somebody like this that's this reckless, you can only handle them one of two ways.
Starting point is 00:37:17 You either have to kill him and make an example of them publicly, front of everybody, everybody. And to put the fear of death, anything and everything to them, their family, everyone around them publicly, you have to do it that way first, or you have to also realize because life to them doesn't matter what are they capable of doing, anything and everything. So let's talk about retaliation. What is retaliation? The typical protocols right now, FBI is given the typical protocols. Be careful when you're going out. Don't go to large parties. You know, FBI is doing their thing in America, especially if you're living in an area with a lot of Jews or Jewish communities.
Starting point is 00:37:57 So certain parts of L.A., certain parts of Miami, certain parts of Boka, certain parts of New York, certain parts of whatever, right? Be careful while you're going around, especially maybe if you're going to be too vocal, be careful with that. But you've got to go a little bit deeper than that. So they're threatening to hit straight of Hormuz. Let's talk about that time. I'm going to come to you with this one here. Rob, can you pull up right now?
Starting point is 00:38:14 What is the price of a barrel of oil today? It was 67 on Friday. What is the price of a barrel of oil today? markets just open. So I'm curious into where it's at. Pre-markets were predicting 72. Okay, great. So 72.
Starting point is 00:38:28 So if they attack the Strait of Hormuz, you could potentially, and even they block it. Every day, it's about 15 to 20 million barrels a day. It's about $1.2, $1.3 billion a day. About 20% of the world's oil goes through here. So don't be surprised if gas prices go up 30 to 50 cents in the next week or two. Don't be surprised. if they do anything to this area and they lock it up for 30 days, do not be surprised if a price of a barrel of oil goes up to $120 to $200
Starting point is 00:38:58 and gas prices go up a buck to buck 50. That's the pain of what they could do. Right, Tom, I'll pause. Rob, what is this clip that you have here? This is the IRGC announcing that the Strait of Hormuz was being closed. Go for it. The attention of Islamic Revolutionally God Thorpe Navy from now navigating through the Strait of Hormuz
Starting point is 00:39:24 is forbidden. No ship in every type is not allowed to pass from a straight of hormones till next notice. This is Sepah Navy. Out. Tom. Right. So why do you think President Trump said drill baby drill? He said it on the campaign trail. He said it at the inauguration. To create energy independence and to make the United States an exporter and an exporter to its friends. and its allies who need energy. The Strait of Hormuz is where a lot of Middle East oil is trafficked. It's as important as the Panama Canal. And so it is very important to keep it open.
Starting point is 00:40:07 But it's also important to understand the broader energy strategy. This is why Drill Baby Drill. Do you know where Europe gets, I believe, it's 60% of its natural gas from us, from the United States, not from the Middle East. The gas comes from the United States. And so when you look at this, is this big? Yes, it's big.
Starting point is 00:40:27 But you know what? Who's closing it? Who are you? Where are you? What installation do you have? What fleet do you have there? This will not take very long to incapacitate. Anybody that wants to come out there and hold up their hand like a stop sign,
Starting point is 00:40:42 this is not, we are not talking about embargo right now. We are talking about these strikes. And if you want to put your ass in the straight to Hormuz and try to interfere with tankers, you're going to, going to go the way of the Somali pirates, right? You're going to be fish food. Tom, question for you. Question for you. How much of taking on Maduro first was part of the strategy to go after Iran that if something happens, the oil reserves were protected. So if Iran all of a sudden goes crazy and locks up the strait of Hormuz, his team sat there and said,
Starting point is 00:41:13 don't worry. We have Venezuela already. We're locked and they can do whatever they want to do. We have enough supplies. We won't be desperate. And we'll also be able to help our allies sell oil to them if Iran decides to go crazy. You are exactly right. When the book is written about this chapter of history and how these dominoes were arranged and fell, credit to Trump and to, you know, Rubio is going to be very, very clear. And Whitkoff, those are the three,
Starting point is 00:41:41 are going to get a tremendous amount of credit for actually stabilizing the world's energy and neutralizing the black market shipments to people, like China who we wanted to neutralize on an economic basis. This is 3D chess, and I believe you are correct, that the first dominant, as soon as you do that to Venezuela, and you stop the illicit oil going on there. You know where that heavy crude's going, Vinny?
Starting point is 00:42:09 Houston. You know where the heavy crude is the type of oil that comes out of, there's this huge valley in Venezuela. It's called heavy crude. And the largest concentration of refineries that handle heavy crude is in the American Gulf Coast. Isn't that odd? Like it was always set up to be that way,
Starting point is 00:42:29 and it was this communist regime over the last 15, 20 years in Venezuela that interrupted that. That was always the play. But that's the part where, listen, you know, I always say there's five phases you go through in business. If you want to, if you want to live at the highest level, I'll talk about it on the business side, but this is political side. First place is the shadow phase.
Starting point is 00:42:49 You work under somebody. and you shadow them, you see how they work. Okay, then you either become a leader in that company, so the next phase is what? Leadership phase. You'll learn how to make tough choices, leadership accountability, pushing them, driving them. Then you go through the next phase,
Starting point is 00:43:05 which is the process and issues phase. You'll learn how to process issues, bigger decisions we've got to make. So instead of buying one camera, you're not making a $600,000 decision. Then you're making a $5 million decision and making a $50 million decisions. So you become better at making decisions.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Fourth phase is sequencing phase. First we do this, then we do this, then we do that, then we do. So everything becomes about sequencing. And last but not least is solving bigger problems. I mean, to sit here and think about the fact that they went and got Maduro first before attacking Iran, you know, when I think about Iran, I think about Venezuela, because those are two oils. Venezuela, Saudi, Iran.
Starting point is 00:43:42 By the way, if that, I'm convinced that was intentional on the way they did it. So let me continue next threat that they could have. One is oil, okay, which we're seeing what's going on right there. The Brent crude oil global benchmark right now, approximately $79 to $80 a barrel. And we're training on March 2nd, 2026, up sharply due to geopolitical tensions, Rob. Can you ask what was it on Friday? I think on Friday that same exact crude oil price. On Friday, the Brent crude oil price, was that 67?
Starting point is 00:44:12 So that's a quick spike that went up. Okay? So, folks, you're going to feel gas prices going. up here. Number two, what else is Iran 7248? Okay, so it's up what? About 10% it's up. In a span of two days, it's up 10%. So now watch this. What's the next way they're going to attack, Tom? What are the ways can Iran attack? Cyber warfare? We've never experienced that. Shutting down economical systems, shutting down the internet, shutting down different electrical grids that we have, you know, hitting military bases. They're already focused on all the military bases.
Starting point is 00:44:48 around. What they don't realize, I think we have a military base down the street from Iran, not in Iran, outside of it with our nuclear weapons there just waiting in case Iran does something. Rob, can you type in where are military bases closest to Iran where we have nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. Which ones are they? They know that. Iran knows this. If they play with fire, what capabilities they're dealing with as well. And by the way, as much as Israel says they don't have nuclear weapons, we all know Israel has nuclear weapons. But it will be our secret that you don't have nuclear weapons. We know you got nuclear weapons.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Turkey, there you go. So at Turkey, historically known to host U.S. B-61 nuclear gravity bombs under NATO's nuclear sharing arrangement. This is the closest known NATO nuclear storage location geographically to Iran at present. Rob, can you go to maps and see what that looks like? Can you go to, by the way, go a little bit lower to see what else it says. Other Belgium. But these are not nuclear, right? These are nuclear sharing sites in Europe, not in the Middle East, but part of a weather.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Western nuclear deterrent posture, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Netherlands. Okay, and Turkey is the one that we looked at. Go to the map with Turkey and Iran, Rob. If you just go to map Turkey, zoom out a little bit. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Keep going, keep going. Okay. So zoom out.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Where is Iran, Turkey? Right there. Okay. So that's not a log. Like, they know. And by the way, Turkey's friendly with Iran. They're neutral. They're not supportive.
Starting point is 00:46:20 They didn't want this war to start. They said, don't do it. Don't attack them, right? So that's kind of Turkey's position. They know that. And you know what Iran's one of the biggest strengths they have in Iran? They are one of the, by the way, their drones they produce, they sold to Russia to attack Ukraine. So they know how to produce drones like no other.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I think the only other country that produces better drones than Iran is probably Ukraine. Rob, can you tap in the top five best countries and producing military-level drones? Okay, top five countries for producing. We're one of the worst countries in the world for producing drones. You know why? Because we have all these FAA regulation. It's not easy. The regulation here is pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Who is number one? US, keep going. Okay. China. Keep going. Turkey. Keep going. Israel.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Iran and Ukraine are on that list. Can you type in what? Okay, Iran. A low cost attack. Yeah. That's the thing. We make the complicated, the big one you saw that. That's what we just saw.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Iran and Ukraine produced a small, cheap, and fast. And they can, Ukraine was making them thousands at a time is what they were producing. So what the question becomes, how can they retaliate? That's the question. Adam. Well, I think this straight of Hormuz closing it down is going to backfire dramatically. Because as we always say, follow the money. Who goes through there?
Starting point is 00:47:44 That's a big shipping area. Who are the biggest exporters? Who's shipping things out of that area? Well, it's all of Iran's neighbors. Saudis. Who they conveniently attacked, which all address. So the biggest exporters out of the street of Hormuz follow the money.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Saudi, Iraq, the UAE, Qatar, and then obviously Iran. But who are the biggest importers? Who's basically saying, yes, we want your goods? China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the EU. Who's not on that list? The United States. Who's also not on that list? Israel.
Starting point is 00:48:16 So it's like cutting your nose off to spite your face. So that's that. I think that's going to backfire dramatically. But speaking of following the money, who the hell are Iran's friends at this point? Show me your friends. I'll show you your future. You know, you are the five people
Starting point is 00:48:32 that you surround yourself with the most. Where's China? Nowhere to be found. Where's Russia? Nowhere to be found. Why? Ask yourself, why are they not showing up? I thought World War III was going to happen.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I thought they had each other's back because they're not real friends. They're transactional friends. Oh, we want your oil. We want your drones. But China needs energy. See what happening in Venezuela? We need our oil.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Oh, we can't get it from Venezuela now. We need Iran. Oh, my God, what are we going to do? Maybe we've got to do a deal with Saudi. Oh, Russia. We're in a war with Ukraine. Who's funding Ukraine? What's going on here?
Starting point is 00:49:05 All of a sudden, we don't have your back. Iran and Russia, we're supposed to have the back of Syria. Syria when it fell, these people don't have each other's backs. So America, we should remember, we have friends. We have friends in high places. We have friends in low places. So, and last but not least, Iran, they didn't attack the U.S. They barely even attacked Israel. They started attacking their neighbors. Oh yeah? Oh yeah, UAE, boom. Oh, yeah, Bahrain, boom. Oh, yeah, Qatar, boom. So now you have Arabs, the Arab Gulf states. They woke up to this war. They were upset with who? The United
Starting point is 00:49:41 States and Israel. And by the time they went to bed, they were upset with Iran. Walk me through your logic. This is a complete buffoonery out of Iran. Is this who they attacked? So they attacked Dubai. They attacked U.A.E. They attacked Saudi. They attacked Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait.
Starting point is 00:49:57 I don't think so because that's France and Italy up at the top. Yeah, but those are two also Arab states that they might look into as well. France and the UK. Those are some other progressive Muslim states that they're looking into. But what does this tell you that? Wait a minute. Iran did attack their neighbors, without a doubt. Go back and see what this says.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Zoom in a little bit. Iran had 14 countries on one night. Here's what happened. Israel, nine dead. UAE, Burjala Arab on fire. Really? Burjala Arab on fire. Abu Dhabi Airport. Is Burjala Arab really on fire? Can you look at that one dead seven injured?
Starting point is 00:50:29 Dubai airport. I did see that Dubai. Four wounded. Okay. Bahrain, U.S. Navy, Fifth Fleet. Okay, we know that. Bahrain straight. Okay, got it. Kuwait Airport.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Got that. Qatar. Got it Saudi. Got it. Jordan. But what is Iraq, U.S. military bases? Oman, military missile.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Syria, target in the wave, target in the wave, Cyprus, UK-Natal ally military base attack for the first time. France camp De Leipai in the UAE struck and in Italy-Natal camp in Selim Kuwait bomb. Oil up 13% on one day. Gold surging to 50,300. State of Hormuz disrupted 20% flight suspended. 17,000 flights, 14 to 17,000 flights canceled by the way. Dubai's airport was shut down. It's insane. Yeah, shut down to Monday. Because of Iran. Because of the action. Because of the actions of Iran. Yeah. And I just want to circle back on one thing, if you don't mind, President Trump, if you ever watch this and see this, thank you for what you're doing to save the world. And thank you from learning from past presidents who completely
Starting point is 00:51:28 overestimated or underestimated this situation. Jimmy Carter got us in this situation. Rob, do you have the bourgeois Arab? You have that? Bourgella Arab. Okay. And I want to stay on the topic of what I was asking. You didn't answer the question at all for a second, Adam, by the way. So I'm going to go to Vinny. how do you think they're going to retaliate? Is this Burjala Raab? According to the Daily Mail, yes, sir. Okay, so Burjala Raab is a hotel where the cheapest rooms are $3,500, $4,000.
Starting point is 00:51:55 It's the only six-star, I think six or seven-star hotel in the world. I've stayed there before in Dubai. It's a beautiful property on the water. It's, yeah, because of the... So it's fires over there. I didn't see that. That's not Burjala-A-Rab. Is that Burjala-Rab?
Starting point is 00:52:13 Rob, that is not the fire. So the first few images were. Okay, Vinnie, how do you think they'll retaliate? Will they retaliate? Will they surrender? By the way, I ask Rob to run a poll. Rob, can you pull up the poll results where we are right now? And by the way, if you haven't yet voted, please do so. I'd like to get a sample size of about 20,000 voters on here.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Rob, can you send me to poll because it's not showing it to me now on my side? If you haven't, I voted already, so probably disappeared. Okay, and this question is, how long do you think this war will last? Okay. Rob, is the poll still up? Yep. Okay. How long do you think this war will last?
Starting point is 00:52:49 Okay, how long? Less than a month? One to three months? Three to six months? Six months plus. So if you look at this, nearly half of you think the war is going to last less than a month. 27% think one to three months, three to six months a seven percent, six months plus a fifth of you believe it's going to last more than six months. Vinny, where are you at with this?
Starting point is 00:53:12 Oh, me personally, I think. four weeks, I'll go one to three months. Tom. I think this is well under a month, well under a month. Well under a month. Adam. Yeah, I don't see this going months and months and months. This is a 30-day thing.
Starting point is 00:53:29 I mean, there was a 12-day war. Things get done real quick. Look, the United States military is no joke. And combined with the intelligence and the technology of the Israeli military, they eliminate people in days, much less weeks, Definitely not months. I don't see this lasting more than a month at all. Okay. So if that's the case, so then that means if you believe that, you're believing that why? Because you think they're going to surrender and they're going to say, listen, we're done. What can we do?
Starting point is 00:53:58 You think that's going to be taken place? They will retaliate on military targets to make a point. But they will retaliate on the big three. Electricity, water, and sewage, water treatment plants. Yep. When you hear that those are being hit, you're trying to cripple an enemy. It's one thing to aim for a U.S. installation in Bahrain and you miss it by two blocks. You hit a civilian target because you're using inferior, you know, guidance systems on your weapons. And then you say later, my bad.
Starting point is 00:54:31 But if you go hit power and you go hit water, if Iran starts hitting power, water and sewage treatment, they are trying to cripple the country and to throw it into civic disorder. If you see that, that means that they've taken the gloves off. Two weeks ago, the Saudis gave limited assurances diplomatically to who, Iran. Then on the weekend, the Saudis are defending its brethren being hit on its own borders. So, Saudis were kind of in a pickle, but watch for those attacks on civilian. infrastructure because that would what you do when you want to screw up the country.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Well, I think from if what they're going to do worldwide, I think we saw a little glimpse of it in Austin, Texas, I believe it was yesterday where a U.S. naturalized citizen from Senegal open fire on 6th Street. Senegal. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:55:29 And wore a shirt that said, property of Allah, had a Quran in his car, had an Iran flag underneath his shirt. I think, by the way, this is not fear porn. This is where? This is in Austin. Oh, this is the shooting in Austin over the weekend. We're ready to go to that now or are we staying on Iran? Well, no, because I'm going to tell you what Iran would do.
Starting point is 00:55:49 This is just Iran on a global thing. This is Islam, okay? And by the way, 1.7 to 2 million Godaways came into our border. That's the shooter right there. Came into our border under the Biden and Alejandro Majorcas border regime. Okay, that's DHS status. Think about that. There's only roughly 150,000 RGC soldiers.
Starting point is 00:56:12 It's not gonna take that long to either get rid of them or tell them to fall online. Okay, and I'm just telling people like, be on alert, because if I was them, thinking of them outside the box, crowded concerts, any events, churches, everything. People just don't be on your phone and stuff. Just be on alert, don't live afraid, just live aware because that's how you get us.
Starting point is 00:56:31 You get us at the heart. Let me tell you, yeah, let me tell you what else, and we'll get into this. Let me tell you what else I think they're gonna be doing. By the way, folks, if you're watching this, 51% of you watch the show who are not subscribers, but you watch it regularly. So you may not know how important it is to us if you can press that subscribe button. The reason for it is it allows the channel to get bigger, more resources.
Starting point is 00:56:50 And if we get more resources, 100% of the money that comes in, we put back into the business. We get to hire better people, better camera, better sets, better guests, better high-quality conversations. So it means a lot to us. If you guys can take a second, just press that subscribe button and the notification. button. It helps us out with our algorithms. I appreciate you for doing that. Having said that, this is the part I want you to think about. The power of disinformation, okay, the power of pinning people against each other, the power of chaos. Like, you know, there are guys that are, if a guy
Starting point is 00:57:26 runs a bot right now and they wanted to flood, they look at this live stream because, you know, we ran the biggest live stream on Saturday morning, right after the war happened on YouTube, we were number one live stream worldwide on YouTube. Say if they see that we're talking logic and reason and we have an opinion like this that's maybe more favorable for Trump. How much power would it have to flood the chat and just put negative stuff, your bot, your this, your dad,
Starting point is 00:57:51 how effective you think that is with the average person? Pretty good. What do you think the level of effectiveness is? Like for people that are watching and reading. My God, look what they're saying, look what they're doing. I think 80%. You think it works with 80% of people? I think that people are like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:03 What percentage of people you think? works on. I think it's high, Pat. I think people just, people wake up and whatever their algorithm tells them to do, they go that way. They don't stop and take a step back and think. There's 73 comments about Tom's tie saying they don't like it. I love Tom's tie. I don't know how you're going up to Tom. Seventy like Tom, I think you look great. Tune out the noise. I think Tom's tie is the best look into by the Tom, that's a joke. No one said anything about your time. Just giving you a hard time. But the point, the point, the point I'm trying to make to you is how much influence does that have? So I want you to know. I have. I have. I have a
Starting point is 00:58:34 a feeling over the next two, four weeks, expect a lot of massive disinformation, camp, pinning against each other nonstop to pin us against each other. I think that's going to be taking place. The part I applaud the president with Vinny, Tom and Adam, is you know how hard it is to do this? You know how hard it is to do this? Do you not hard at us to do this knowing, you know, you're sitting in a place right now where there's a camp saying, oh my God, you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't go after it, you shouldn't. And by the way, even J.D. Vance is a non-interventionism himself. He's not a guy that's supportive, probably even something like this. I'm not speaking on his behalf. It's just when I ask people around in D.C., they'll say, yeah, that's an area
Starting point is 00:59:19 that he's not with it, right? But think about for him to just stand up and say, no, here's what we're doing. This is the right thing to do. You guys can criticize all you want. Unfortunately, we're going to lose some service members because that's what happens during war. Like, he's addressing every objection up front to not over promise and under deliver. And when they took out a few of the soldiers, I don't know if you saw what the president had to say. Rob, if you want to play this clip, Trump vows to avenge fallen troops in Iran war as the issue's chilling ultimatum in address to the nation. Go ahead, Rob. Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that three U.S. military service members have been
Starting point is 01:00:02 killed in action. As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more. Before it ends, that's the way it is, likely be more, but we'll do everything possible where that won't be the case. But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists
Starting point is 01:00:46 who have waged war against basically civilization. Yeah. There you have it. How serious you think he is? Serious, and you think that's easy telling people? Like, hey, listen, because, Pat, we signed up. When you sign up for the military, The first thing in your head, the first thing that was in my head is like, I'm signing up, there's a good possibility that I could die.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Wherever I'm going to be deployed, wherever I'm doing. I worked at a nuclear missile base for Christ's sake. If they're going to attack, that's where you attack. You signed up knowing that's a president saying the hardest part out loud that people don't want to talk about. This is war. And when you're in war, people lose their lives. Okay? It's a sad freaking reality.
Starting point is 01:01:24 It happens. But at least he has the fortitude to stand up and say, listen, they're gone. God, we're going to go after the people that killed them. And guess what? There's going to be more. There's going to be more. This isn't a like a child's play where the other team is not going to fight back. They're going to fight back.
Starting point is 01:01:39 But hopefully like we said, it's going to be less than a month. I wonder, though, I wonder how you're going to fight back because you got to realize there's an element of also you're sitting in a room. And you're saying, so what should we do? Let's ask, oh, he's dead. Okay, but we need such and such. How many those, let's, he's also dead. But can you see if the judge? If we can do, he's also dead.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Who can we call? Call a low-level guy to see what he's... That's what they're going through right now. Yeah. That's what they're going through right now. So for them, I don't know how long this is going to be sustainable as they're going through this whole shenanigans with Iran, with Israel, I don't know how long they can go with this, Adam.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Well, you asked what Iran can do, what their next moves are. I'll see that and raise you one. What is Trump going to do? Because at the end of the day, they're going to come back to. what they've been doing before, which is negotiations. Do you think Trump has more or less credibility now after what he did? More, obviously. With who?
Starting point is 01:02:40 With everybody. Trump? Trump basically said, okay, guys, you have two weeks to get this done. On the 13th day, he attacked. Oh, you have one week to get this done. Sixth day, he said, let's get this done. Trump has more credibility than anybody at this point. If you don't take Trump seriously at this point, he's as serious as a heart attack.
Starting point is 01:02:58 He's implemented deadlines, timelines, and red lines. Do you remember the red line that Obama did? Because, you know, if you cross this red line in Syria, we're not going to play this game anymore. He did nothing. At this point, how do you not, do you think Trump's bluffing? You see what he did to Maduro? You see what he did to the Ayatollah? Do you think Trump is bluffing at this point?
Starting point is 01:03:19 No, but I think what Pat's saying is like now that they're, but the infrastructure... They're going to have to negotiate. No, yeah, what I'm saying is this? With who? Because as of right now, Adam, they're all dead. and the moment a new guy steps up, he's getting killed. And like I said about the number. And that only helps Trump's negotiations.
Starting point is 01:03:33 I understand, but we're ready for this? Who, I hope that they plan this out. Who's going to take the reins? Because I know Resolpale is talking about, I'm going to do it from afar and I'm going to help. I hope the plan is engaged because, like I said, they only have 150,000 soldiers, Pat. They have like the elite, uh, Kood.
Starting point is 01:03:49 The Kud's force? No, they have more. They have that. But, no, no. Google. Rob, RGC. Find out how many soldiers does the IRGC have right now.
Starting point is 01:03:56 I'm going to say, 120,000. But that's just the IRGC. Okay, but how many, I'm saying in Iranian army. That's the, I think they have close to a million. I could be wrong. You could fact check that. But the Iranian regime, you tell me, Pat, is not, they're built to last.
Starting point is 01:04:10 150,000 of the IRGC. What about the army? How many, just type in, how much total military? Total military. Does Iran have? You know, you know what is, you know what's one guy commented, and he said, you know, how come you were against America? sending money to total about 610,000 active troops plus another 350 reserve.
Starting point is 01:04:31 It's about a million. About a million. So, but if you go to, hey, you know, what about Ukraine? You were against money going to Ukraine, all this other stuff. Okay. No problem. So let's kind of unpack that conversation with Ukraine. Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:45 One, did we start the war with Ukraine and Russia? No. That's between the two of them, right? Okay, who started that war? And Biden gave them an okay to do a minor incursion. He invited Russia to do it. How much, who started that war? Russia started that war.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Okay, great. And who's the bigger military, mightier military that you would say, dude, they're going to kill them? Russia. Okay. Why was Ukraine able to last this long? Because of whose support? Our support.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Who also support? U.S., the EU, NATO. Okay. How much money did they get? Oh, 100 billion. How much military did they get? How much money? Rob, can you pull up how much money they got?
Starting point is 01:05:26 Remember, it was one. step at a time. We'll give you some money, but we won't give you arms, but we'll only give you these guns. And we won't give you these planes. Guys, we're talking about almost $210 billion of support. Now check this out. Where am I going with this? Here's where I'm going with this. For the people that are saying, we don't want war, we don't want war, we don't want war, we don't want war. Who here in this example is Ukraine? Who is Russia? Who's Russia, Ukraine in this example? In this example, who's Russia, Ukraine? Well, if you want to start at the beginning of this conflict, you would start at October 7th, hypothetically.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Okay. And then they started. Israel would be Ukraine and Hamas would be Russia. So Israel would be Ukraine. If you want to go back to that. No problem. So you can go further back, I get it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:15 But we can go further back. But let's just look at this attack. Here. US came and attacked here. Yes. US is negotiating nuclear with them. And they didn't want to do it. So they attack, right?
Starting point is 01:06:26 Who is the underdog? here? Iran is of course it is right? So typically what happens when there's an underdog? What happens when there's an underdog and a bully is bullying them? What typically happens? People help the underdog. How come no one's helping Iran? Exactly. Nobody's helping Iran. How come no one's helping Iran? How come no one says poor Iran let's go help him? Well, how come their own people don't care about that? How come there are you know 81% of Iranians want this regime gone? Yep. Why do you think they want that? Who do you think knows more about Iran
Starting point is 01:06:58 Iranians who lived in Iran or people around the world. Why do you think they're celebrating? Why do you think they're excited? You know, John Shaheed, just sent me a picture. John Shahidi is the CEO of Nelk Boys and FulcSend podcast. He tweeted something yesterday about his uncles. If you go to it, Rob, go to a Twitter account, John Shadi. He tweeted something about a picture of two of his mom's brothers.
Starting point is 01:07:22 They killed because they did not want to support what was going on in Iran. Okay, go a little bit lower. I don't know if that's the count. That's not the count, Rob. That's it right there, Rob. That's the picture right there, right there. Zoom in a little bit. Look what it says. That picture, he says, two of these 11 men were my uncles, my mom's brothers. They were executed by firing squad for opposing the new Islamic Republic regime. Their trial was only 30 minutes long. They were convicted of being counter-revolution and executed by Sanandage. The photo took captured one of many brutal moments in Iran and won the Pulitzer Prize. Can you imagine this regime what they're capable of doing? So there is no sympathy for these guys on what they're doing. My only thing
Starting point is 01:08:07 is how will they retaliate? I think they're so cornered right now that you either have to sit there and say, well, these guys are the kamikaze type, which means they'll do what? Blaze of glory. Anything. Last shot. Shoot up everything you got. What did they shoot up a hospital? What did they shoot up in Israel? What did they get in Israel? Have they gotten anything in Israel? I believe they killed nine people in Bates-Semesh. They've sent missiles, but apparently they shot up a hospital in or a school in Iran. And they tried to blame it on the IDF and they tracked it back
Starting point is 01:08:44 to a fallen military missile from Iran. So the school with the girls that everybody said Israel hit was a missile that came back down. Correct. That's what the report is said. Multiple reports that it launched at Malfuneration. See, that's the part. Let me tell you, that's the disinformation camp. This goes back to Sinamara Rex fire, by the way. And you have a lot of U.S. influencers, Pat, that were saying, see, we killed all these girls before it was even known.
Starting point is 01:09:09 These are Americans that don't like Trump. There's two things. There's two different things here. Let me just tell you what's the part where everybody loses credibility, all of us. We're all a part of it. And I'm part of it as well because I have opinions, right? And you push back or we agree or we go back and forth, right? Let me tell you where you lose credibility.
Starting point is 01:09:28 How critical have I been of Reza Pallavi? Pretty damn critical. Has anybody been more critical of Riza Pallavi except from me that is in, you know, what do you call it? Somebody that's in the space. Nobody has been, right? To the point where he unfollowed me, his daughter unfollowed me, his wife got upset about what I said, all of this stuff. That entire community, what do you call it, the Pallavi community, Adam, can you sit back a little bit? Yes, sir.
Starting point is 01:09:51 This is what any was talking about. So the whole community is against it, right? but you got to give the guy credit the last six weeks. And I've said it many times. He's done the right thing. You lose credibility when you can't even give credit for anything the other person does right. That's when you lose credibility. And we were lobby.
Starting point is 01:10:16 We were talking about a couple different guys in the space that are kind of distancing themselves from Trump, probably because sponsorship money stopped or job stopped or Hollywood job stopped. and, you know, I'm not going to mention names, but, you know, we were pretty vocal about it, where it's like, hey, I think this is, it's a career decision. I get it on what could happen here. But to me, if this thing goes less than four weeks, if it goes less than four weeks, and it's done, they surrender, Iran opens up and 90 million people are officially in business, and that safety in the Middle East, they all, imagine if Iran joins the border of peace.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Hey, we're a board of peace. Imagine if they joined that and say, hey, let's figure out a way to bring a piece to the Middle East. Imagine if that actually does take place. Whose life is safer? Everyone's life is safer. If that happens, you have to give the man credit. But at the same time, I'm telling you guys right now,
Starting point is 01:11:08 if this turns into six plus months, I have a hard time with that myself. If this turns into a prolonged war with, you know, all this stuff and speculation, I'm telling you right now, I myself will come out and say, what happened here. But I don't think that's going to take place
Starting point is 01:11:27 because I'm convinced to the core the profile of a Trump, when you do, you know, in the insurance space, anyways, in the insurance space, I know what a man like Trump thinks like. We did business in similar ways in a much smaller, you know, non-public thing that nobody tracks.
Starting point is 01:11:44 I understand how a man like that thinks. If you don't go for their throat, if you go for their throat first, you make an example, you take them out, your earned credibility, then you go out there and say, now can we negotiate and you become friends? If that's what he does,
Starting point is 01:12:02 this could lead to possibly his biggest accomplishment, anything you put, I don't think you can put anything above this. This becomes what you talked about earlier, the Berlin Wall, you know, you know. Reagan and Bush. What's the famous line? Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. Till today, you go to Simi Valley when we want to watch.
Starting point is 01:12:23 one, the Republican debates, part of the wallows, you know, the historic places that you have. So Reagan Library. If that happens, you have to give him credit. If that happens, you have to have the conversations of Nobel Peace Prize. It's not even a conversation about that. If that happens, this may be,
Starting point is 01:12:40 and I know a lot of liberals and libertarians and some of the guys that really don't want to see this guy win and they're really rooting against them, this guy is going to be a once in a generation type of a leader that you had. I don't think any of the other guys on the left, or the right could get this job done. And on top of that, you know what's so impressive about this?
Starting point is 01:12:58 He was able to drive every one of his guys. Hexed. He was criticized first. Look where he's at now. Besant, you're bringing a guy from, you know, Soros? Yes. Look what Rubio is doing. I don't know if you're following what's going on on Twitter right now.
Starting point is 01:13:13 Everybody is calling for Rubio 2028. Yeah. Everybody. I am. I am. I am. For Rubio 2028. Everybody.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Okay. It's typically be a VP, rarely a secretary of state. in a situation like this, but they're called five Secretary of States have become presidents. Many VPs have. Everyone's calling for Rubio. So he's not only winning, but I will tell you guys, this one is big. This risk he took, this one is big. He rolled the dice.
Starting point is 01:13:40 They get this. It's over. Midterms could be dictated based on how this thing ends. Midterms, all the congressmen and senators that are worried for their jobs, guess what they all should be sitting there thinking about. If this thing goes right, I may have my job. If it doesn't go right, I may get fired.
Starting point is 01:14:02 That's how wide of a range it is, ugly and just historic on how this thing could turn out. And great point, but there was a moment. I don't know if you saw this clip. There's a moment in the state of the union where Trump gives Rubio a shout out. And he steps back. And Rubio is just sitting there like this.
Starting point is 01:14:22 And there's a, the camera flips and you see Trump give him the nod. Like, I think that was that moment because J.D.'s behind him giving him the nod. And I'll send the video to Rob. It's actually a really dope, a dope moment. But Pat, here's my thing about what's happening. I want, and God rest of souls for the soldiers that were killed in action. Because they're, by the way, no boots on the ground. I want zero, zero boots, United States on the ground in Iran.
Starting point is 01:14:45 And if by some crazy reason that we have to, Israel better put boots on the ground. ground as well with us because when it on when iraq they didn't put any troops on the ground if we're going to play that game they're going to come in with us that's my only thing i don't think it'll get there but if it does Israel better get their hands dirty as well in that sense but i think this going to be all aerial all strategic all military all all strikes and then until so they realize everybody's gone that they need to be gone and then the people take over that's well if they're i think it's you go ahead tell them i think it's very telling what the markets are doing this morning West Texas Intermediate, it's up 6%.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Gold, it's up 2%. NASDAQ down a tenth of a percent, 26. S&P, down two-tenths of a percent, 14. The reaction from the market wasn't what the pundits on the Sunday news shows. Oh, the markets will be in free fall on Monday. They're not. How sensitive are our stock markets, Adam, right now, to uncertainty, to earnings reports, to the impact of AI.
Starting point is 01:15:50 It moved more last week before the war even started in Wednesday when everybody freaked out about block and was laying off 4,000. And I think what the markets are saying right now, Pat, is we feel pretty good, excuse me, we feel pretty good about this. That's what the markets are saying. In an already tense situation for our markets with AI and layoffs, these markets are not moving, not the way that they were predicted. it to be. And I think that spells
Starting point is 01:16:19 confidence from the underlying forces on the markets. Wouldn't you say, Adam? Confidence that this is going to play out. This is not a free fall and a retreat to bonds and cash. If you look at the SMP right now, what's S&B doing right
Starting point is 01:16:35 now? Down 20? Dow is down 135. NASDAX down 39. I mean, listen, it's red, but it's not the kind of red you expect. And the day is still early, by the way. We got plenty of time. Orgets are dead.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Oil. West Texas Intermediate, drill baby drill. We are selling oil to the world right now at $71. That is leadership on energy. And look how that's helping the world. Look at this. Yeah, crude jumped up, but it went from 67 to 71.
Starting point is 01:17:06 That's not a giant jump. That means we are... What do you think is going to be by the end of the week? Oil by the end of the week. I think oil will get to maybe 80 by the end of the week. I don't think the American oil will. I don't think so. Adam.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Well, you brought up the Peace Prize. I just want to address that for a second. When it comes to Trump and the Peace Prize, I think he doesn't care about that at this point. He solved all these wars, you know, eight wars, whatever it is. He says, oh, okay, you don't want to give it to me? Cool. I don't want to be liked.
Starting point is 01:17:37 I want to be respected. I want to be feared. And you better listen up. So to me, the greatest comedy, I know our friend Marcello is the number one. on Netflix right now is the top stand-up comedian. But the greatest comedian act right now, the most laughable people are the Democratic Party at this point, especially the progressives. Who's taking these people seriously? Hey guys, stand up if you care about Americans first or sit down
Starting point is 01:18:03 if you care about illegal immigrants first. They stay seated. So these people have such a severe case of TDS that they're not even rooting to free the Iranian people. Think about that for a second. they're so like the gays for gaza crowd as i call them they they hate trait they hate trump so much that they're rooting against america they're not recognizing these people are calling for their freedom and they don't silence the what's the one thing they've said in the last month well well you know yeah israel they they they shot a school full of children uh turned out that was the irgc but if that's what you care about. You didn't care that 30, 40, 50,000 Iranians were killed? To me, it's the hypocrisy. You know how to mark. And Trump is just focusing on the signal. Let me say how to market.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Sure. You will watch and everybody has their own ideology, okay, of where they're at, everybody. Everybody used to love me when I was only talking about business until I started opening my mouth about politics and supporting Trump. And all of a sudden, you know what, just stick to business. Listen, okay, totally. And by the way, I understand why you don't like me talking about politics. But then long term, three, five, ten, this is a 20-year race on who gains credibility with their voice. And during the 20 years, guess what's going to happen? A lot of fumbles, a lot of mistakes, a lot of ups and downs.
Starting point is 01:19:36 And everyone's going to watch how people handle themselves if they were fair players or not. long term, the market is always going to favor fair players. Always. If you're able to stay reasonable, Rob, can you pull up the Power versus Force? Power versus Force? I always go back to this. If you go to Power versus Force and he listened to any of the influencers, commentators, CNN, whoever you want to talk about, podcasters, and look at the level.
Starting point is 01:20:04 That's terrible quality. Is that the best one, Rob? There's a better one. But if he clicks on it, it'll open up. You just have to click on it to open up. the quality be better because no meaning click on the visit yeah there you go zoom in or it's still pretty bad zoom in a little bit rob okay we'll just work with this yeah so if you look from the lowest level and focus on the word level not god view life use scale go to a level go all the way down
Starting point is 01:20:29 shame shame these are people that are driven by shame then guilt then apathy then grief then fear then desire then anger then pride courage neutrality willingness acceptance reason love, joy, peace, enlightenment, right? Your goal is to be in the blue, okay? And it takes a long time to get into blue, and we all flirt with orange. Everybody flirts with orange. So by the way, nobody doesn't flirt with that.
Starting point is 01:20:54 But it's how long do you stay there? Okay? How long do you stay there? Are you able to reason? Are you able to love? Are you able to go through acceptance to say, hey, we have differences. I get it.
Starting point is 01:21:09 Are you willing to have the conversation? Are you willing to see the other side and what they're thinking about? Market long term is going to favor. All these comments that's made, the rage-baiting comments, they're great for viewership, but reason is critical. Can these people reason? Can they have an understanding of what's going on? And by the way, sometimes it's us.
Starting point is 01:21:33 Let me understand what the other side of the argument is. Why do you believe what you believe in? This is the reason why. Okay, great. And I think we have to go back to it about right now. Tensions are high. FYI, until this thing ends, I don't think the criticism is going to stop. And I actually understand it for the people to say, oh, you said, it's not going to be war.
Starting point is 01:21:49 I get that. Light it up as much as you want. But if this thing ends early, I'm curious to know what they're going to say. Is it going to be but, but look at, but what about, but how about or is it going to be, look, man, I got to give the guy credit. I don't know what's going to happen there, but we'll be watching the market to see how they react to it. Let me get to the next story here. Rob, is there anything of, oh, Vinny, do you want to go to the Austin one?
Starting point is 01:22:13 Let's go to the Austin story. So Austin, you were talking about the shooter earlier and how this has to do a little bit to do. FBI investigating Austin mass shooting as potential terrorism. Austin boss or bar mass shooter possibly motivated by Iran attacks. Koran found in Carr as FBI eyes terrorism after two killed 14 injured. Go ahead, Rob. I want to bring this in now. I've been telling everybody about the Austin mass shooter, and now we have a picture.
Starting point is 01:22:41 And this is what we're finding out. Per multiple federal law enforcement sources to our own Bill Malusion, the Austin mass shooter is a 53-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Senegal and was living in Flugerville, Texas. Material recovered from his person and inside the vehicle give possible indications of a nexus to terrorism as the FBI announced earlier today. And remember what we said he had in his position. and was also wearing. The shooter was wearing clothing that said Allah on it. His sweater said
Starting point is 01:23:12 property of Allah. And there's also known to be an undershirt within Iranian flag and other materials inside. And remember what Representative Michael McCall of Texas just told me last hour. He said, Harris in my own backyard just last night, we had an event that possibly could have been terror inspired right here in Austin, Texas. This is what he was talking about. out. Brett, I was reminding Americans, this is not a new place for us to be in in terms of keeping our heads on a swivel, but it bears repeating we've lost Americans in the fight on the battlefield and protecting the homeland now. Rob, you can stop right. And I mean, and I want to reiterate it again, when you can't win on
Starting point is 01:23:57 the battlefield there, how are you going to hurt us? We are superior in our military with our allies, we are kicking butt. How do you hurt us? And I think this is going to be their way. This is going to be it. And I can't emphasize enough what Alejandro Majorcas, by the orders of who, because I know it wasn't Joe Biden, that literally, literally, the only other, okay, besides this kids, sex traffic kids, besides the fentanyl from China, this was it pat. They brought people in. I'm not saying this guy from Senegal, Senegal, whatever, was, you know, He's a naturalized citizen. But the up to 2 million people that aren't here that were given cell phones.
Starting point is 01:24:37 And I guarantee you, they were told, hey, go, chill and wait for the call. Just wait for the call. This is one of those moments. When you want to hurt us, you hurt us here. So I tell people, don't be afraid. Be armed. Be smart. And just watch, be aware of your surroundings because this is just the beginning.
Starting point is 01:24:52 This happened the day after that we attacked. I'm pretty sure there's going to be more of these times, especially live events, especially in churches. My church is being our security at our church is no joke. I just want people to know that this is the only way that they're going to hurt us is hurt us here. Tom. Do not let your hearts be troubled. You know, there are people that are going to be copycats. There are people that are trying to do things.
Starting point is 01:25:12 There are people that want a small thing to make you afraid. This is the world in which we live. And if you think that actions outside the U.S. are triggering these things, and that's the only thing, they never would have happened if it wasn't for that, then you're not paying attention to what's happening in the U.S. You need to be vigilant, you need to be courageous, but we also need to be serious and clear-headed about what we've allowed to come into this country and what was allowed to cross the border. And what crossed the border in those getaways was some bad people.
Starting point is 01:25:43 You remember the guy Tom that was like, soon you will know my name. Soon you will know my name. That guy sounds like he's from there. Waiting to be processed and waiting for the truck to lift the barbed wire so he could just walk on over. Right? So we need to be vigilant. and this guy infuriates me, but sadly, it doesn't surprise me. I'm not surprised by it, but I don't accept it.
Starting point is 01:26:08 The Austin shooting? Yeah. The Austin shooting? Adam, you have any thoughts on that? Yeah, of course. So what's the reality? How many people were killed in this Austin shooting? I think two. Okay, how many people were shot?
Starting point is 01:26:18 Two and 15 at this hour. Okay. So what discussed me is that there's people's reaction on the internet. the first thing they say, it's a false flag, it's a false flag. Okay. Show me proof of that. Because there's people dead, there's people shot.
Starting point is 01:26:39 You know, they say when someone tells you who they are, believe them. At the same time, we have the Democrats refusing to fund the Homeland Security, the Department of Homeland Security, is in a stalemate right now. It's basically the equivalent of like, hey, mom's like, listen, clean up your room. And the kids like, well, you'll be. buy me a present first. Secure the border. This is who's
Starting point is 01:27:01 coming through the border. You always talk about the people from was it Azerbaijan or whoever they were. Soon you will know my name. Well, now we know people's names. Where did they come in from? How did they get here? So to me, a lot of people go to false flags, set up.
Starting point is 01:27:17 Who was it? Sometimes it's just the obvious that the enemies of America live in America. Well, this is the guy. I want to bring America to its days. This was during the Biden administration. By the way, he just walked over the border and you guys tell me what's the reason? Give me the logic of why you would let somebody like this in the country. Go ahead, Rob, play this.
Starting point is 01:27:36 If you are smart enough, you would know who I am. If you are really not smart enough to know who I am. But soon, you're going to know who I am. Very soon. Very easy. The entitlement. Look at that guy. No, believe it. I'm much better than that. The entitlement, guys. Wow. And the guy that's recording, not the entitlement. What the hell are you talking about? The guy's warning you that soon you're going to know my name. Why, you think he's going to win a Nobel Peace Prize?
Starting point is 01:28:03 He's going to play for USC and throw the winning touchdown? No, that's a threat. And they didn't do nothing about it. And that guy is in the United States. And he's so-called, wait till you see soon you're going to know my name. I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah. His ethnicity and his accent, clearly just a guy from Guadalajara looking for a better life.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Yeah, that's all. That's all. You know what I call this? I call this Ilhan Omar syndrome. where you've been plucked out of a corrupt asshole of a country, Somalia, you've been given a refugee in the United States, and all you want to do is talk trash about the United States. To me, the entitlement, the victimhood, the ungratefulness is what it comes down to.
Starting point is 01:28:44 And it comes from the people that show up and think that they just deserve all the benefits of an American, or it's the people who are elected to Congress and they get elected on grievance, and it's just it's perpetually this victim America's the worst, the white man's the worst, down with the patriarchy, it's perpetually nonsense and I think just the average American is so sick of it at this point and we'll see what happens in midterms, but this is the reason why Trump got elected.
Starting point is 01:29:13 Yeah, by the way, yesterday the news came out that former president of Iran, Ahmadine Najad, was killed. and if you guys haven't seen this report from New York Post that came out and it was going viral all over the place. Mahmoud Ahmadine Najat, Iran's ex-president who said Israel must be wiped off the map, killed an Israeli air strike. Their team, we were supposed to have him on the podcast last Friday. He was scheduled to do a 45-minute interview last Friday on the podcast.
Starting point is 01:29:45 And we've spoken a few times about doing this. Every time we did one time we were supposed to travel to a destination in Europe to do a face-to-face interview. Last minute he canceled because he was worried about his life and then the reports that he was killed, I got an update from his team. I'm telling you what his team told me.
Starting point is 01:30:03 So this is their team telling us this is not true that he is not killed. He's alive. They hit down the street from where he was at and they didn't kill him. So this is their report to us as a first thing this morning, that this may come out.
Starting point is 01:30:21 And remember, I'm telling you their team is telling me this. So we don't know for a fact. This may or may not be accurate. And I was the one that tweeted saying the fact that he was supposed to be on a podcast last Friday. So just be aware when you're hearing reports about him, he may still be alive. They did hit up a building down the street, but not the property he was in. Allegedly, according to the team that we've been in communication with.
Starting point is 01:30:46 And we've done a few Zooms with them with Ahmadinejad. We've actually done Zoom's with them early Sunday mornings. So we've had conversation with him. He and I have spoken to each other in Farsi. But you know, you may see a new update coming in that he is alive, that he is not being killed. Well, if he is, I don't know, he should probably send a video saying I'm alive. I don't trust anything that comes out of Iran, including this guy.
Starting point is 01:31:11 When he was fearing for his life, maybe you can paint a picture for me. Obviously, everyone in the regime should feel for their life when it's, comes to America and the IDF. But correct me if I'm wrong, he was fearing from his life from the regime, the Iranian regime. From the Iranian regime. Yes. So the Iranian regime wanted to kill their own former president. Yes.
Starting point is 01:31:31 Is that, can you walk me through that logic? Yes, because he's not an insider. He was an outsider. Even though he said, wipe Israel off the face of the earth, he was still an outsider. He wasn't somebody that claimed China Global Times, former Iran and Amadneyevon, not killed an attack, claimed China's Global Times. Yeah, so that's also... So just even though he was an outsider,
Starting point is 01:31:53 he was an insider to the number one ideology, which was America's the great Satan, Israel's a little Satan, we will wipe Israel off the map. Yeah, but he wasn't as much of a loyalist as everybody else was. He still doesn't like you, just so you know that. I want you know that.
Starting point is 01:32:11 That doesn't make a difference. Can I address that? Sure. And thank you for not liking me. But you know what today is? I'm going to do a little biblical history lesson. This is not typical my thing. Today is the beginning of Purim, which is a holy holiday,
Starting point is 01:32:26 and it goes back to 2,500 years ago in Persia. There was a king, Ahashveros, and a queen called Esther. The Jewish queen was married to a Persian king, and there was a very bad man named Haman. So Haman, much like Ahmadinejad, much like the Ayatollah, their number one goal, was to wipe all the Jews off the map. This is why Jews called these people Amalek.
Starting point is 01:32:54 These people who are sworn to kill the Israelites, the Hebrews, the Jews. And Queen Esther had an uncle called Mordecai, and Mordecai was able to convince Queen Esther to help the king to do away with the evil Haman. Long story short is this. Today on Purim, the Hebrews, the Jews, the Israelites, we eat a dessert called the Hamel. Hamintoshan, Hamintoshan, which is named after the evil man, Haman.
Starting point is 01:33:21 So something's telling me that the Jews are going to be eating desserts called Khomeini or possibly even Ahmadinejad in the near future. This is not bluster. This is not hearsay. It has been said in the Bible that the enemies of the Israelites will meet their fate. And here's another one example of that. Sunset today, it starts. Yeah, that's just biblical right there.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Well, thank you for that education. It was great for us to know. And I wonder how many converts you just got from that, but that was awesome. But even the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ celebrated Purim. By the way, I want to share something with you, which how quickly things change. I want you to watch this clip from Hillary Clinton of what she said about Iran if she were to be a president. Go ahead, Rob. She sounds like a guy we may know.
Starting point is 01:34:14 Go ahead. And I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say. But those people who run Iran need to understand that, because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish,
Starting point is 01:34:44 and tragic. And I want the Iran. She's scared. Listen, let me say that you. She's just scary. I can't imagine like being her kid and she's like, well, clean your room. I have a different perspective on that. Mom's going to kill me. I think the world would be a much better place if Hillary Clinton was elected president and not Barack Obama. I think Barack Obama sounded like a great guy, but behind closed doors, he was weak. He went on this apology tour. We're so sorry for what Bush did, and Bush is no better. But at least Hillary Clinton would have done what Trump is doing.
Starting point is 01:35:17 So I'm not defending everything that Hillary's ever done. But a lot of this goes back to Obama and his appeasement to Iran. I think the United States made a grave mistake attack in Iraq. The biggest problem that we've been facing is Iran, not Iraq. Not that Saddam Hussein was a great guy whatsoever. That society was going to crumble regardless with partisan fighting between Shiites and Sunnis. But I believe to my core that Trump is doing the right thing regarding Iran. Iran is holding the world hostage.
Starting point is 01:35:46 And last point, do we want to get to the point where Iran would have a nuclear weapon and they're holding the world hostage like North Korea's in the Far East? So to me, Hillary Clinton, with all her flaws, was at least tough and tough on our enemies, unlike Barack Obama, who sounded like a nice guy, but did nothing other than implement trans and LGBTQ. Well, in all fairness for him, there was a guy named Isaiah Martin who posted, but if the guy tried to get into politics, and he became a, you know what he was bad? Then he became like a social media, a poster, whatever.
Starting point is 01:36:18 Is Isaiah Martin? Rob, I think I sent it to Isaiah Martin. Don't talk about it. He posted something that said, if Obama did this, speaking about Iran, they'd be demanding impeachment, and then the community owner and goes, Obama did this and more.
Starting point is 01:36:32 And you're ready for this, Adam? Because you're saying he didn't do nothing? In 2016, alone, Barack Hussein, Obama, the Christian president, authorized the dropping of 26,171 bombs across seven countries, not Iran. Not Iran. Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan. And over eight years, Pat, eight years, he carried out over 100,000 air strikes with thousands of thousands of civilians' deaths.
Starting point is 01:37:02 By the way. And one U.S. citizen. And one citizen. No marches. No crazy. No, oh my God, the world's going to end. But notice, it's just who's the person. president who's not but that is what that's the best community know i saw all day yesterday and that
Starting point is 01:37:16 was it Obama did this and more so yeah iran iran wasn't on there but he was still doing this you know yeah is this the guy i don't know that picture can you is this the guy jubilee oh yeah yeah okay he's the guy that couple kids destroyed him yeah he got he got wrecked yeah he was uh he had a hard time with these kids but okay all right so let's get to the next story next door i want to get to is I'm trying to see. Do we go to this one? Okay, let's go to the critics of what they've said about it. Rob, do you have the critics of what they're saying about this?
Starting point is 01:37:50 I think you have a clip of Ilhan Omar, AOC, a bunch of them. Do you have all of them? Is this Mamdani talking about Iran? Yep. Go for it. Today we woke up to the news of Iran getting bombed by proxy of America and Israel. I just want to know what you did not say. Iranians die for it in New York City and abroad who are washed with your reign.
Starting point is 01:38:10 before I share my own thoughts. I can't hear nothing. So, Rob, we can skip this one here because he sounds like he's talking dirty to. He saw his tweet, though. His tweet was horrible. What's his tweet? His tweet was horrible, Rob. His tweet was absolutely disgusting.
Starting point is 01:38:27 What was his tweet? His military strikes on Iran carried out by the U.S. and Israel marks a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression, bombing cities, killing civilians, opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
Starting point is 01:38:43 I'm focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I've been in contact with our Police Commission, Emergency Management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination, cross agencies, and enhancing protocols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers. You are part of the fabric of the city. You are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe.
Starting point is 01:39:07 This message is brought to you by Chad. Go ahead. I swear you all just going to say that with those hyphins. Like, again, besides the failure, he hasn't done anything right. People, the homeless people, the crap in the streets, the garbage. Every policy taking photos with alleged co-conspirators of terrorist attacks. He said nothing, nothing. When Iranians were getting slaughtered in the streets, which was a freaking one-week massacre.
Starting point is 01:39:32 He was silent when the women were getting beaten to death because of their hijabs. Now all of a sudden he finally finds his voice. And he's not standing for peace. He's not standing for human rights. He's standing up for terrorists. Terrorists, the Islamic state of Iraq. Those people were freaking terrorists. He's a disgrace.
Starting point is 01:39:48 I think he's a disgrace patent. I wonder if on 9-11, if he'd been mayor, he'd be tweeting about, you know, understanding Al-Qaeda's perspective instead of actually standing shoulder to shoulder with the freaking firefighters and the people that were fighting. He's absolutely disgusting. But I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised that he's going to be talking about. By the way, bombing civilian cities.
Starting point is 01:40:05 And no, they're not. They're striking where Khomeini was. was living and military targets. He's just full of crap, but I'm not surprised that he's siding with the enemy, period. What did Ilhan Omar say? What is she saying here from President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran, including without congressional authorization, without a clear objective and without any eminent threat to the U.S.
Starting point is 01:40:27 This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on a line. As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability, military strikes will not make us safer. They will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction. We know who will bear the cost of this decision. Innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, and our young service members send them to harm way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war.
Starting point is 01:40:55 Already children and families are paying a price. The American people are exhausted by endless wars. There you go. Even Rokana came out with Thomas Massey, right, saying this is unlawful. And then is that Ilhan Omar, Rob, the last one? And Adam, I'm going to come to you. Trump has launched. So they're all on the same page.
Starting point is 01:41:10 They're saying the same thing. Go ahead. Well, everyone falls into four different camps, in my opinion. So from left to right, or from right to left, on the far right, you have the America-only camp. The isolationist, the non-interventionalist, stay out of everything. Ostrich people, which I understand. We don't want any more endless wars, foreign conflict. I get it.
Starting point is 01:41:33 But the world's going to come for you. You're not just going to always sit back and have to deal with what the world's going to throw your way, the bad guys will show up at your doorstep. So, in my opinion, the American-only people are near-sighted. Then you have the America first people, the Trump people, the peace through strength. The people say, listen, I don't want to have to mess you up. But if you keep walking on my door talking trash, we're going to have a problem. So that, that to me is not America alone.
Starting point is 01:41:59 It's America first, but we'll still solve the world's problems. Then you have the global first. The elites, the establishment, the traditional alliance. the NATO people, the globalists, the NATO's. I get it, those people. But then these people, on the very far left, the progressives, the Ilhan Omar's, the AOCs, the Mom Donis, this is America last.
Starting point is 01:42:21 These are people who are not proud to be Americans, they're Marxists, they're open borders, they're anti-imperialists, they're anti-capitalists. They don't love America, in my opinion. But if they do love America, they have a very strange way of showing it. So in my opinion, the correct way to be is America first, not America only, and certainly not America last. Those people are all America last.
Starting point is 01:42:44 And think about it, what's Mamdani's religion? He is Islamic. Okay. Okay. What's Ilhan Omar? What's Rashida Tile? Roqana, all these guys, they're not Christian, they're not, well, I'm telling you right now, and especially with Mamdani, I understand the Constitution and stuff with people like that with
Starting point is 01:43:03 that belief and that I don't think that he should ever hold any public office. If that's your attitude, if your attitude is anti-America and you're sticking up for freaking Islamic state of terrorism, of freaking Iran, then what the hell is he in charge? Look at what's happening. Look at what, look at the state and look at the ideology. Okay? It's absolutely ridiculous, bro.
Starting point is 01:43:24 I'm not a fan at all of what he's doing, Pat. And I don't think people like that should hold public office in the United States. Can we go, can you go right now, or could Pat go or Tom, go to one of these countries that they come from and hold public office? I'm being that serious. As a Christian, can you go to a Muslim nation and hold office right now? Then why the hell are we letting him do it here? He hates America. He hates that stupid look, that funny face.
Starting point is 01:43:48 Like, he knows what he's doing. Now, there's two sides here. There's the true believers, which is Omar and Talib. I believe they're true believers on their side. On what? Newsom is the opportunist. Newsom sits here, tries to put, and a tweet yesterday, tries to put one foot in each camp,
Starting point is 01:44:04 which causes him to uncross his legs, which is also fun to watch. And he's out there talking. He is the opportunist trying to score points politically. They're very, very different. I think he is far more disgusting than they are because them, I look at them and I say, this is what they believe.
Starting point is 01:44:20 I disagree with it. I wonder how they got elected in this country, but at least I understand. Actually, I don't respect, but I understand the purity of their position and the purity of their hatred coming from their position who they've told me who they are
Starting point is 01:44:35 and they prove who they are, and I believe it. He is this opportunist. That really sickens me. Tom, I actually agree with you on this one. The Gavin Newsom Camp is a typical politician. He lies to your face and tells you not to believe your lying eyes. Those people on that side, they're ruining America, and they're saying it out loud.
Starting point is 01:44:56 I said this before in the last show. There used to be a time where if you were a communist or you were a socialist, you had to kind of keep that on the down low. Shout out to R. Kelly. Now they're campaigning on it. They're campaigning on the fact that they're democratic socialists. They're campaigning on the fact that they are Marxists. So to me, this is not something that America should or would want to stand by,
Starting point is 01:45:19 but I do understand that you're saying that's exactly who they are, and at least they're not lying about it. Whereas Gavin Newsom, you don't know what flip-plopping thing he's going to do. I know how to work with them. I know how they're going to do. And you said they know how to work with them. Trump says, you know, bring a mom down to the office, nice guy, communist, nice guy. At least he tells you who he is and you have to deal with it on its surface.
Starting point is 01:45:40 But I understand when you're coming from. What's this one, Rob? We played this last week, Rob. We played this last week. And they keep saying illegal. And the word of the day that the media is using with this is illegal. But you have Federman and other people are pointing out that the War Powers Act provides for that and that Trump has to take steps right now.
Starting point is 01:45:57 We're in the window we ask to take it. But just like what word did they use for January 6th? Because it's in the Constitution. insurrection. So the word of the day is illegal. Insurrection was not proven. It was never proven. In matter of fact, it was disproven. And now they're saying illegal. But under the War Powers Act, what happens when he gives notice? What happens when he backs off? And what happens to you find out, well, guess what? He don't like it. I felt like he was getting into a war. I think he was breaking a campaign promise of many people. But guess what? He has 60 days. Is that right? Right. He's got 48 hours, 72 hours and 60 days. Yeah, let's go to the next story. So while this is going on, do you know who was on 60 minutes last night? Rezapalavi. Okay.
Starting point is 01:46:38 Did you guys watch it? Do you watch the whole thing? Okay. So Reza Palavi was on 60 minutes. Obviously, we can't play because every time we do 60 minutes cuts it off. But it was interesting. He did get emotional. He cried about one of the firemen that was carrying somebody that they ended up still killing.
Starting point is 01:46:55 And it was an emotional moment at the end of the interview. But he was very firm. He was confident. And he was also on, is it? Maria Bartero Marcia. Barteroma and CNBC. He made a promise and people are reacting a couple of different ways on this year. Go ahead, Rob.
Starting point is 01:47:09 Economic growth and what have you. Just by a change that we hope to bring to the table, that would be probably over a trillion dollars worth of impact and revenue to the American economy just by Iran's market being open to America and how much we stand to benefit from billions of dollars willing to be invested into Iran. Economic growth and what have you. How do you process? that. So he's saying if it opens up, it could be how much money in business returning for installing
Starting point is 01:47:38 Kim? I don't know if he's saying for installing Kim. He is still saying, I want to be the transitional leader. And I think on 60 minutes they ask him, do you want to be the king? Do you want to be the president? Neither. He says, I'm just trying to be the transitional leader while they're going through this next phase. Tom, what do you think about what he's saying? He would trillion, trillion dollars worth of business in return. I believe him. If you look at energy trade. You look at opportunities for U.S. companies and construction, and I'm going to say a terrible word here. There's Halliburton and a lot of GE and a lot of companies out there that would get contracts for doing a lot of rebuilding. I think he's right. I think he's right that if there is a
Starting point is 01:48:21 stabilized Iran that was well-behaved and the sanctions, the economic sanctions came off, that that's a trillion dollars worth of business. Now, I think if he puts it that way and he's kind of clever with it, he's got to be careful with it. Either you're going to be a transitional leader and you're going to help restore order and someone's going to be there or not. But I think it's, I don't know, how do you dangle? Well, if you let me get in there and be transitional, get you a trillion dollars. That's kind of what I heard. And it's like, wait a minute, we're talking about peace and stability. The fact that there would be economic output later, we believe that it will happen. But don't dangle it in the same sentence. Yeah, there's a couple
Starting point is 01:48:59 things he said that look when you're on TV the big screen for a long time you're going to have a couple fumbles no matter who you are you're not going to be able to perfect it our president has been part of that and we have to give credit to the goat as well Joe Biden he's he's that way too many fumbles but in this case he revealed two things one hey if you put me in I am going to give a lot of business back to US okay yes and and by the way If that's the position he's making, and then there's another thing that he said in the 60 minutes, he says, look, whether U.S. Trump would intervene or not, we were just not going to stop until we became free. Big difference.
Starting point is 01:49:42 You can say that all you want. Your people don't have weapons. Iranians don't have weapons. Iranians don't have a way of fighting back. Iranians don't have a way of doing anything back for their freedom. They don't have that kind of power. They needed somebody from the outside. And for 47 years, you've been around to be able to do this.
Starting point is 01:49:58 you've not been able to succeed until one guy showed up that had the courage to help you. And that guy is who? Donald J. Trump and without him, none of this stuff would have happened. And by the way, we're not even there yet. But to me, it is something that was brought up that if Iran does become free,
Starting point is 01:50:13 that business comes back to U.S. Adam, where are you at with this? Yeah, I mean, I think that's wishful thinking. I think that's something that we can do with later. But let's go back to the people of Iran, right? Because we're losing focus on what they stand for. Part of the reason that this even happened is because the people of Iran were so sick of the economy that was going
Starting point is 01:50:32 on in Iran. Have you been following the actual economy in Iran? So, let's walk through, follow the money right now. We're so focused on America first here, you know, stop outsourcing our jobs, you know, protect our own citizens. What about the whole make Iran
Starting point is 01:50:50 great again thing? What is the regime done for the people of Iran over the last 47 years? They've been funding terrorism all over the They've been investing in nuclear technology. Meanwhile, their people are some of the most miserable poorest people in the Middle East. Their currency has been devalued. Their misery index, unemployment, and inflation is all-time highs.
Starting point is 01:51:13 Their economies in complete shambles. And there's a famous phrase in Iran. They're saying, we're not going to basically die for Gaza or Hezbollah in Iran. And the supreme leader, rest of soul, the Ayatollah has been funding all these operations. and what have the people of Iran got for it? They have dirty drinking water, they have no money, youth unemployment is sky high, and if they want to come out on the streets and say,
Starting point is 01:51:37 hey, we don't like this. What does the regime do? Kill them. So I keep going back to the same thing. The world is so much of a better place. Without the Ayatollah, yes, we can talk about the economy. Yes, we can talk about following the money. But at some point, people's lives are more important
Starting point is 01:51:53 than trillions of dollars. Respect to Rezapolavi for promising, maybe over-promising the money that's going to come to the people of Iran or America, but the people of Iran are dying for freedom, and we shouldn't lose sight of that. It's hard to say. We'll never give up. This would have happened anyway when you were down 30,000 to nothing at the end of the first quarter, and it was a horrible cost.
Starting point is 01:52:14 And you think all those people were still going to be out there? Some of them would, but some of them were feeling defeated, bearing their loved ones. So I think it's really tough to say, oh, we wouldn't have stopped and would have got here anyway. How? Yeah, it's true. So let me get to a couple other stories here before we wrap up. One, here's what Jamie Diamond thinks it's about to happen. Jamie Diamond warns of pre-financial crisis parallels.
Starting point is 01:52:39 Says some people are doing dumb things. Rob, I don't know if you have a clip on this or not. I think you do. While you're pulling that up, let me read some of this year. J.P. Morgan Chase issued a warning that some conditions and financial markets are reminding him of the years leading up to the 2008 crisis. and I think the clip that you have goes deeper into it. Is this him speaking, Rob?
Starting point is 01:52:59 Yeah, there's a clip of him in this newscast. It's only 45 seconds. Diamond says he is starting to see parallels to the era. I can't imagine. This is almost 20 years ago. So before the 2008 GFC, that's a global financial crisis, when he rushed to make loans ended, as we know now, disastrously, Diamond was responding to a question about fierce competition.
Starting point is 01:53:24 in the financial industry. Unfortunately, we did see this in 05, and 06, and 07, almost the same thing. The rising tide was in all boats. Everyone was making a lot of money. I don't know how long it's going to be great for everybody. I see a couple of people doing some dumb things. You know, they're just doing dumb things to create NIA
Starting point is 01:53:44 or say they're winning in the market's business or something like that. Tom, do you agree with them? What he's talking about is that there's a lot of debt sloshing around. you have asset prices up like this, you also have a lot of debt. You know why that is? Why? Because you can use assets as collateral for debt. When people's houses were up crazy, and you had people, it was too easy to get home loans and the home highs was high. You also had people getting a lot of helix taking money out of it. And you see that here. And what he says NIH, he's talking about net interest income. So he's saying, Pat, that there's a lot of net interest income in the market and that there's people doing some dumb things. with how they're leveraged.
Starting point is 01:54:26 And he's speaking to private equity that uses, there's a lot of cash in private equity, but he's also speaking to private equity that's using three, four, five, six turns. You and I know what that means, Pat. You use three, four, five, six times the EBITA to use debt, and then you're using the rest in cash. So he's pointing out that when it's easy money
Starting point is 01:54:48 and assets are high and it's easy to get debt, sometimes people are reckless with debt, and he's absolutely right. Now, does that mean that the whole House of Cards falls tomorrow? No, he's issuing a cautionary tale. He doesn't want it to fall because he's a debt issuer. He's a lender and he's a manager of capital and he's the biggest. Well, let me read this to you.
Starting point is 01:55:08 And then, Adam, I'm going to come to you on this next one because it kind of goes together. Is panic as one in seven buyers, ditch home purchases at the last minute as fears of 2008-style crash grows. anxiety is mourning in the housing market after a new report revealed that one in seven home sales fell through last month, a troubling signal that echoes patterns seen in the run-up of the 2008. Redfin data found that nearly 40,000 home sales agreements were canceled in January. That's equivalent to almost 14% of all houses that went under contract. Last month's cancellation's rate was up a staggering, 13% from just a year earlier, and represented the highest January share in almost a decade.
Starting point is 01:55:50 Another factor driving the high cancellation rates is financial uncertainty. White House prices are dropped. While House's prices are dropping significantly from the pandemic peaks, they're still historically high. The median sell price for home a decade ago was 300. According to federal data, today, it's 423. Tom. So there's a couple of things going on here, and both of them are bad. Two. One, you've got this is no longer isolated markets.
Starting point is 01:56:19 The mainstream media likes to pick on an isolated market. They've been picking on Tampa, Fort Myers, you know, for two years, Pat. We've been watching this, right? But people forget that we had the hurricanes down there. There's rebuilding gun down there, and there's also been an insurance response that makes that area very expensive to insure. And they've been picking on Austin because Austin was hyper-built, and there was all these problems there. You separate those.
Starting point is 01:56:43 They're talking about Atlanta, Georgia. They're talking about Atlanta that's having 14%. So these are people getting up to the... very moment where you're going to finance the loan and you have to what's called lock in your loan rate, Vinnie. And you also have to, at that point, the bank tells you about PNI, primary mortgage insurance and whether you need to hold back. And you also look at what the property tax and the insurance is going to be. All of that comes together then. And you know what buyers are saying? 14% were saying, you know what? I don't want to do this. And they're backing out.
Starting point is 01:57:15 or their bank is warning them and saying, you're not going to get the best rate, you're going to get this, because with the property tax and this, your rate's going to be this. And so what we're seeing right now, Pat, is prices starting to move down, and we have more buyers than sellers. This has been the biggest gap, I think, in 21 years that we've seen this. And my concern is we're starting to see it in big cities like Georgia, which means prices are going to, the underlying assets are going to start coming down,
Starting point is 01:57:43 which is not a bad thing because, They're incredibly inflated over 2019 to 2020. Adam. Yeah. The case-shaped economy is real. I think that the rich get richer, the poor get poor, and the fundamental issue is that most people don't know what the hell they're doing with money.
Starting point is 01:58:03 I think there's a major problem that in Congress, we have people that have never run a business, that have never been leaders, that have never understand finance, running our economy. And these morons in Congress with their all-time low approval ratings, are now sitting on what, $37 trillion in debt? I look at this U.S. debt clock and I go, how did we get to this point? And there's enough blame to go around for Republicans and Democrats.
Starting point is 01:58:27 So from a macro perspective, we are the brokest, richest country in the world, and it's disgusting. But if you kind of like zoom in on the microeconomy, on the household economy, the average household in America has about $100,000 in debt, $7,000 in credit card, uh consumer loans uh car loans credit card loans people don't know what they're doing with their money and i wish they did i wish they taught it better in school but as we know when they print money pat where does it flow to the top so the rich are getting richer the poor getting poor and the wealth gap is bigger than ever so what can you do you control the controllable and you save that money and you you what can you do with your own household income you can't solve the debt crisis
Starting point is 01:59:11 you can't solve the $37 trillion that America owes, but you can't control what you do if you buy a house. You should understand that don't buy more than you can afford, understand that if you are getting a car, don't buy more car than you can afford, and just understand that your own personal economy and your own personal finance is the most important thing you can focus on. Yeah, I agree, but at the same time, listen, here's one thing.
Starting point is 01:59:36 If you're buying long term, good luck predicting what's going to happen to the market. If you're in the long-term game, I've seen more people get their asses handed to them because they try to time the market. They try to time one to buy Bitcoin. They try the time one to buy a house. They try to time one to get into the stock market. They try to time. Everything is about, let me find a way to time it. If experts who've been doing this for 40 years don't know how to time, you're not going to know how to time.
Starting point is 02:00:01 If you're a long-term investor, you know, and you have the reasons on what you want to do, I'm optimistic. But for some of the people that want to time it, it can sit on the sidelines. you know, Trump can come out and announce something and real estate value goes up and economy goes up. Not people who are saying, why did you recommend me to wait? I'm not telling you to wait or not to wait. I'm just telling you long-term thinking is the solution. Let me get to a story here with Shailabov. You guys saw, we saw Shailabuff, and I know this is a little culture, but I want to go to it.
Starting point is 02:00:29 One of my favorite actors of all time is Shailabov. I stopped watching Transformers once he was no longer in it. He does a great job, but he was interviewed by the Channel 5 guy. What's his name, Rob? I want to. Andrew Callahan. Andrew Callahan, who does a very good job getting reports and interviews. Here is, is this the one where he's talking about he's afraid of people?
Starting point is 02:00:48 Yes. So this is the reason behind us arrest guys, just brace for impact because he's very raw here. Go ahead, Rob. I'll be honest with you. Big gay people are scary to me. Didn't see that one coming. When I'm like standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me touching my leg, I get scared. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 02:01:08 I'm sorry. If that's homophobic, then I'm that. Yeah. Does that happen a lot? No, it just happened one time. Recently. Well, that's why I got arrested. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 02:01:21 Yeah. So you were sort of being groped and surrounded? I'm not going to say that because my lawyer said, oh, dude. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I, I, um, I am wrong for touching anyone ever. And that's the end of my statement on.
Starting point is 02:01:39 this whole shit. Sounds good. Cool. Cool. Vinny. Well, I mean, have you seen the rest of the clip? I saw the, yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:48 Some of the stuff he says. Is wild. Yeah, it's wild. It's wild. But, you know, again, this is his point. His lawyer said, don't say anything. We have to kind of take his word for it. But he also opened up about a very dark period about his life.
Starting point is 02:02:01 He admitted that he struggled with suicidal thoughts. He said he had a gun in his mouth at one point. And that the reason he didn't pull the trigger, according to him, was the love for his mother. which you guys all know. I can understand that. I've never been there, but I can only imagine.
Starting point is 02:02:16 Can you play that clip rom? Is this it? No, this one, Pat, is, and mind you, his mother's Jewish. His father, I believe, was Catholic. So if your mother's Jewish, you're Jewish, he's a Catholic. And what he said about Jesus, he asked him.
Starting point is 02:02:30 I sent you to clip rob. He asked him, Pat, he goes, what would you do if you stood in front of Jesus? What would you say? Here's what he ought to say. And this is what he would say about, If he saw Jesus Christ, what he would do? What would you say to Jesus if you could meet him?
Starting point is 02:02:46 I wouldn't say shit. Really? Nah. Bro, I kiss. I kiss him. I just kiss his feet. I want to say nothing. Chill out with these questions, Andrew.
Starting point is 02:03:10 Not bad. I didn't know. I was making a mutual brother. I'm a real Catholic, bro. A real one. I just thought you had thought about it. No, I'm a real one, bro. I want to believe.
Starting point is 02:03:19 Something. Well, hey, bro, you got to hit your head into the wall hard enough where you just go, Fuck it. That's the only way, dog. That's how you find God? Yep, for me. For the hard-headed ones?
Starting point is 02:03:31 Yeah, you got to go hard. What do you think was the real-life equivalent of you smashing your head? I put a gun in my mouth. I was already killing myself. Blow my brains out. You can stop it, Rob. You can stop it. Guys, it's clear, if you see the whole interview,
Starting point is 02:03:43 it's clear he's going through something heavy. I've heard a lot of stuff from his mouth of what he's gone through, his family and everything like that. The level of pain, there's no words. Like, he's struggling, and I just, hope he finds peace, Pat, and healing because I thought when I saw him on John Bernthal's podcast, I was like, oh, Kay, I believe he had a child? Did he have a kid, Pat? And the girl left them and somebody suing him and all that stuff. I feel, as a Christian, I feel what he is going
Starting point is 02:04:10 through. Like, it's obviously something dark. He's been there. And I, I mean, I don't think drinking by yourself in the streets of Mardi Gaw at that level of celebrity is something. He did say something also, Pat, that he's, he hates something. somebody Rob that what is this yeah Mike Piazza we'll pull up oh yeah saw Mike Piazza the other day oh you saw him did he sign anything I saw him in South Beach hi Leboff and type in Shai LeBuff and Mike Piazza guys is this it yeah go ahead watch this Adam your pictures like a fucking like I'm a golden retriever a governor or something like that because I like what it does for people's lives remember trying to get Mike Piazza's
Starting point is 02:04:46 autograph motherfucker you mean for my whole life Mike Piazza were you waiting outside the fence every day this guy So yeah, we used to go to Dodger games, Big Brother's program, used to give these tickets out, you go, fucking Dodger game. Me and all of them dudes would be sitting in the parking lot. Brent Butler always signed, Hadeo Nomo always signed, Mike Piazza. Just the cold heart. Mike Piazza, you're a bitch, bro.
Starting point is 02:05:09 Wow. Look, look. Well, let's come to this. Oh my God. He goes, how many times, 90 times? He goes, you're gonna give me one on a credit? Can you imagine Mike Piazza sends him right now? thinking he returns it.
Starting point is 02:05:26 When's the last time you even heard Mike Piazza's name? Well, no, we taught because we debate catchers of all great catch, great hitting catchers of all the time. And this guy was a good hitter, but how do you, greatest hitting? How do you process it, Adam, for yourself, with Shia LeBoff? So I know how much you enjoy this guy. And, you know, the first time we learned about Shia for me,
Starting point is 02:05:43 I think it was during Transformers. But there's a story here. This guy, I think, has been famous since he's 14, 15 years old. Be careful when you want fame too soon. Because how many people in Hollywood have we seen? seen get fame before they were mature. Justin Bieber, we see what's going on with that guy these days. You know, the song that you play where he's sitting in front of the mirror talking about, what's the song that he sings? Lonely. Lonely, exactly. It's so crazy. Lindsay Lowhan.
Starting point is 02:06:09 Very different, but yeah, it's a song. Yeah, exactly. My singing isn't what used to be. Lindsay Lohan, the Corey Hames of the world, the Drew Barrymars of the world. You know, they all deal with trauma, drugs, alcohol, depression, all these things, because why they wanted to be famous. One thing I've learned is I don't want to be famous. I want to deliver value. I want to have influence. I want people to have respect. But I don't care about being liked. I don't care about being famous. A lot of these young people, especially people on the internet these days, you know, streaming every single day, doing things for clicks and attention. There's a very, very ugly side to all this. And I just respect Shaya Labas for keeping it real. You know,
Starting point is 02:06:49 they say we're keeping it real goes wrong. He's had some major issues. in and out of jail, I think, in and out of rehab. Looks like he's finding God. Looks like he's a father now, and I respect that. But there's probably not a realer guy who wears his heart on his sleeve more than Shia LeBuff. I know you think he's a great actor. I think he's a good dude.
Starting point is 02:07:09 He's definitely going through it. He talked about his father as well, Vinny, in the interview. Yeah. I don't know if you caught that part about his father. Can you find that clip Rob about his father? Yeah, it's a messed up. And like you said, talent, artistic, you know. and Fury and all the movies,
Starting point is 02:07:23 but there's something clearly going off, and I just pray that he gets, you know, he needs help. He's been in AA, he said all these people's phone numbers in his phone, John AA, Mike AA, this AA, it's all AA. AARone. Can I ask you? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:38 This is the unthinked time you mentioned Shai Labuff. You don't have a lot of love for Hollywood or Hollywood actors. Why do you feel so strongly for Shai LeBuff? I lost a friend like Shai LeBuff. I lost a friend. like Shai Lebov. We should never lost him. And he had issues. He had issues with his family.
Starting point is 02:07:58 He had issues with a lot of things that he was going through as a kid. And probably one of my favorite guys to hang out with. Really? Hands down. One of my favorite guys to hang out with. I love him and miss until today. Armin Aurekjian. And they had a lot of similar mannerisms that he would go through. He had a hard time giving up a few things that he was on and, you know, alcohol
Starting point is 02:08:19 and a few other things that he was dealing with. but they give me similar vibes. And Armin was not like a famous person. It was just a very famous person in my life because I loved them. But you see the pain young men, young boys go through. And that shapes how they become grown men. And part of it is somebody could have gone hold of them
Starting point is 02:08:40 to give him better direction. But honestly, 80% of it when you become an adult is on you. You got to make the decision to make better choices. And it's not an easy thing to do. You got to change your environment. You got to, you know, he knows it. The way he's speaking, you know what I love about the way he's speaking? What's that?
Starting point is 02:08:58 He's speaking in a way that you can't give him advice. You know what I mean when I'm saying? You can't give him advice? Like, he's speaking like, no, but man, like he's conflicted because he knows what he needs to do, but he's not doing it. He's heard the best advice from the most celebrated doctors, famous. is anybody with anybody that's known for being the right person to give him advice, Hollywood actors, celebrities, directors, business people,
Starting point is 02:09:29 who does he not have access to? Pastors, everybody. And he knows at the end of the day, nobody can save you except his faith and you. There's a part of it that you got to make the choices. You know, a man named Greg back in the days would always say, They pray like it's up to God, but, you know, work like it's up to you. You know, you can say change like it's up to you, you know, make decisions like it's up to you.
Starting point is 02:10:00 Some people pray too much and rely just on a miracle to happen, but a part of it is you. Rob, are you able to find that clip, or is it still streaming and it's not going to show it up? I found the part where he talks about his father going to AA. I don't know if that's a part we're looking for. No, it's another one, but it's okay. I just think it was a very good. Is this the one where he and his dad are going to AA together? He talks about his, yeah, growing up in AA with his dad.
Starting point is 02:10:20 Let me see this clip. Go for it. My dad grew up in the room. I learned how to smoke cigarettes in AA rooms. My dad was an AA when I was before I ever got on. My dad was a junkie my whole life, so then, and God bless him, the fool ain't no more. For real. He's clean, I'm not.
Starting point is 02:10:34 Gee shit, bro. Go ahead, Dad. What do you think has been, like, behind your decision to get sober every now and again? Usually, I've been forced to get sober by the court system, usually, and then women get scared, you know, so then you gotta stay sober for the girl. So you feel like most of your decision,
Starting point is 02:10:50 to like lay off the drinks was external factors. Yeah, the business, the job, holding on to the career, holding on a girl, holding on a thing. You can pause it. You can pause it. But again, to me, I know I grew up with guys like him, you know. But he wasn't, you know, those guys didn't become famous. The movie with his dad, Honeyboy, we've talked about this many times.
Starting point is 02:11:13 It's on Amazon. If you've never seen it, if you subscribe to Amazon, it kind of tells you the upbringing of how we grew up. And then later on he said, no, it's not. not true. Yes, it is true. I've heard so many things about the different stories, but I just like him a lot as a character. I'll just say one thing. You know, I've never seen a Shaila Buffalo movie. I saw a little pieces of transformer. I've never seen one movie, not one. Watch Fury. And all, but I've watched hours of him doing podcasts. The thing with Callahan now, what's the one with
Starting point is 02:11:42 John Bernthal? Yes. You can't help but want to root for this guy. You can't help but realize that Hollywood has chewed him up and spit him out. And you said the correct thing. This is on him. He's probably dealt with all the advisors, all the, all the people. But at the end of the day, this is on him. No, nothing. Why he seems so conflict.
Starting point is 02:12:01 No, you can't. Listen, get into a better environment, get into a better environment. Environment helps a lot. But then at the end of the day, when you're by yourself, I was interviewing Terrence Howard the other day. And let me tell you, I haven't laughed as hard in a long time. This was a very different kind of an interview. We didn't talk anything about math and stuff like that.
Starting point is 02:12:18 But he said, you know, funny, I don't even know how to say this. You might not even be able to say it. So when you said I fell on the floor? When's the interview coming out? I don't know when the interview is coming out. Thursday. Thursday. He talked about how he struggles with porn until today.
Starting point is 02:12:35 And the things we were talking about, we talked. So even today, he is, he said he 56, 57 years old. Even today, he knows what it is. And it's like, listen, he was in Czechoslovakia 24. five years. So he begged the hotel to get rid of the TV. He said, if you keep this TV, I'm going to have to watch all the porn. By the way, when you watch, you're going to laugh so hard of the stuff he talked about. It was, it's real. So you have to know these, these are, everybody knows who these guys are. And when they give you that kind of fame at a young age,
Starting point is 02:13:09 you know, try managing that at a young age. But anyways, let's get to the next story. He's 56. Looks great, man. Looks like he's 38, by the way. Okay. Bill Clinton. He was deposed. And while he was being deposed, Trump says he doesn't like seeing Bill Clinton deposed by Congress. This is Trump. And then Bill turns around and says something about Trump. Go ahead, Rob. I don't like seeing him deposed.
Starting point is 02:13:36 They certainly went after me a lot more than that. I don't like him. I like him. I like him. I don't like seeing him depose. Okay, so that's that. Now watch page 12 what Bill Clinton had to say about him. Rob, this is James Comer repeating what Bill Clinton said in court.
Starting point is 02:13:57 Go ahead, Rob. President Clinton said, that's for you to decide. And the president went on to say that the president, Trump, has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved. And he meant with Epstein. So I know there's a lot of curiosity about President Trump. I thought that was an interesting thing that President Clinton said. So I'll let the Democrats have the podium and they can answer your questions. But we'll cut.
Starting point is 02:14:26 Okay, so what do you think about that, Vinny? Two presidents defending each other. How do you process that? I don't know. I think there's a leverage thing I play. By the way, shout out to him because Adam, you love doing shoutouts. Look at how good he looks dealing with Hillary. I can only imagine that sucks the life out of you.
Starting point is 02:14:44 This is his statement after the deposition. Go ahead. He looks great. I just finished testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee. I did it for two reasons. First, I love my country, including our Constitution. And America was built on the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents, especially presidents,
Starting point is 02:15:10 and that we should all live under the same set of rules. This kind of democracy requires every person to play their part. And I hope that by being there today, we can bring ourselves just a little further away from the brink and back to being a country where we can disagree civilly and we can search for truth and justice and that it outweighs the partisan urge to score points
Starting point is 02:15:36 and create spectacle. You can pause it right there. And by the way, some people are saying that a little bit of, you know, strategy here, they did this. because what's going to come around is they're going to be asking Melania and Trump to be deposed because if two previous presidents were deposed, why not Melania and Trump? Because there's pictures of them with Epstein as well. So here, I believe he's a Democratic congressman, Rob, if I'm not mistaken.
Starting point is 02:16:05 And he said we asked the president Clinton's to be deposed. And now go ahead, Rob. He said from day one that we want to talk to former President Bill Clinton. And the other person we want to talk to is current president. Donald Trump. And so we should be very clear that now that we're going to hear from former President Clinton, I hope that Chairman Comer and the Republicans will join us in demanding that the person who actually appears more times in the files than the former president, who we want to speak with, is President Donald Trump. There is no indication, zero zip, zilch,
Starting point is 02:16:40 not a, that Secretary Clinton had any knowledge of Epstein's crimes. She submitted a sworn statement that she never met Jeffrey Epstein and my fear. I believe her. You believe it. Right. Does everybody, does everybody at home wherever you are? Do you both do you absolutely zero zilch? And again, Pat, we talked about this last week. I could never be the president because of the leverage and stuff that has to do with any of this nonsense. Do I think Bill Clinton was with eight-year-olds? No, no. Do I think he was with my opinion, with some underage girls that were doing so? That's my opinion. Why would that have? come to the White House 17 times.
Starting point is 02:17:19 What are you doing hanging out with that guy? And I don't know how many times, everything, that's all the Democrats want to do is keep going to Trump, keep going to Trump. He's the one that called the FBI on Epstein, okay? Bill Clinton himself is telling you, I didn't, he's not involved. He's not involved. Do I believe that they're kind of, you know, looking out for each other because of the whole presidential status?
Starting point is 02:17:41 Listen, you know where I stand. If you did anything and there's proof, which I do believe that the files should show proof, especially with the victims and God willing that they're alive, there needs to be arrest. There needs to be an arrestmate. I don't care if he's the president. I don't care if he's the pope.
Starting point is 02:17:56 I don't care. I want somebody to be arrested. I want somebody to be put in jail, just like they're doing in the UK. You mean to tell me an ex-prince. He lost his title. He's not the prince. He's not the Duke. He's just in the back of a car, scared out of his mind.
Starting point is 02:18:09 They put his ass in jail. Now he has a record. I want that, Pat. So all this, no, I can't believe they're doing this to Bill Clinton. I'm not a fan of it at all, but again, I'm not the president. I'm a Christian. I can't make those decisions and use leverage for people that did crimes because I want to use them for other things.
Starting point is 02:18:25 I'm not a fan of it, Tom. I'm sorry. I'll tell you, listening to Hillary Testify is kind of listening to the CIA testify. We have not overthrown any countries of which we are aware. You know, you listen to the truthfully say. And she's like, I do not recall the picture. I don't recall meeting the man. I'm in the picture and in the picture of their meeting.
Starting point is 02:18:43 What? You do not recall meeting the man and you've never met the man. and you've never met the man that you're in the picture of their meeting? Yes. So I put all that aside. I hate the fact that we have former presidents that are being called in like this. I do not back off from what you're saying
Starting point is 02:18:59 that I feel that the Clintons are dirty. I do not back off from that at all. But you know what? If this is the way it's going to be played, so every time we elect a president now, the other president comes into court, goes back and forth. Ask Brazil how this works.
Starting point is 02:19:14 It's terrible. It's disruptive. It doesn't bring a country together. But if that's a new reality of what we're living in, you know, okay. And by the way, if you listen careful of that Democrat, I think there were Democrats that wanted to put Clinton in there, not push him terribly hard, but get him in there so they could get President Trump in there as a sitting president because they want to impeach him and they can't wait for the midterms to see if they have the votes to impeach him. I think this is 3D chess. I think that's what's going on. Tom, when it comes to Bill Clinton, though, you have to look at the history of, like, Juanita Broderick coming forward and saying what he did to her, the multiple sexual assault allegations. And then you have Hillary Clinton going after the women and basking them. Comment I just made, the entire basket is represented there. I am with you. Oh, no, and I agree 100%. But when you say, you know, because they're going to keep willing the president, if you are guilty of a crime, I don't care. You have to get face justice.
Starting point is 02:20:11 Because if that's the case, Tom, then the president could do whatever they want. He rings on Obama for Russia and for the things that he personally had knowledge. They all get presidential immunity. That's the one problem that I have when it comes to this government nonsense is that he sits there with that slug face. Unless your name is Trump, then you get indicted. Of course, they try to destroy you and they shoot you in your head. I asked this. Tom, you wanted to talk about this elite doctor served Jeffrey Epstein while treating his girls. New York Times story that just came out.
Starting point is 02:20:37 A plastic surgeon from Mount Sinai closed a young woman's head wound with 35 stitches on Epstein dining room table. internists in West Palm Beach ordered a blood test for another woman, then reported the abnormal results back to Epstein, a dentist at Columbia University asked Epstein how much work he wanted done on a girl with severe tooth decay. What is this reporting here, Tom? What he's pointing out is that Elvis had Dr. Nick, Michael Jackson had a doctor. Epstein had doctors too. So when we start unpacking this, what you're going to find is you get doctors in there that can be testifying. Why aren't these doctors being called to hearings and ask, who did you operate on? Were you in a surgical, were you in a sterile surgical environment?
Starting point is 02:21:21 What were you doing here? What did you do? Did that, did that, so if a paramedic in this country, let's say a paramedic is called to a home, and there's a child that has suffered, you know, a trauma, the paramedics are obligated to tell the hospital, says, hey, man, let's get care for this kid, but I think there was something going on at that house. We got to see if something happened at that house. And the paramedics will report to authorities if they believe there was an abuse or there was like a parent-inflicted injury on that child. And so now if you've got doctors making house calls, I want to know where these
Starting point is 02:21:58 doctors are and I want to know why they're not in front of a hearing with a hand-up to answer questions about your, wait, wait, you got called, you're putting stitches in somebody's head on the dining room table of a home? Whoa. Oh, let me read this, too. It's disturbing. So Epstein used some doctors to manipulate young women from overseas who were having sex with him. This is again, New York Times. He directed women to get pelvic exams,
Starting point is 02:22:23 liposuction, and mold removals, and paid for a range of specialty treatments from $800 an hour psychiatric therapy to root canal. He also abruptly cut off women's care at times and assistant once forwarded him a plea from a woman asking for $600 to refill her acne prescription, ignore Epstein, replied. Some doctors send Epstein sexual partners elsewhere for gonorrhea treatments
Starting point is 02:22:45 so that when their case was reported to public health authorities, they wouldn't be tied to Epstein. Some doctors also shared patients' private health information within one woman wrote to Epstein that all the doctors you pay directly keep you well informed about my treatments. Epstein dismissed their concerns saying the doctors take the time to make sure I'm happy. Epstein rewarded preferred doctors with hefty payments, Apple watches, celebrity introductions, and vacations on private islands and New Mexico ranch. One cash strap dermatologist asked Epstein to co-sign his car lease.
Starting point is 02:23:17 Epstein also wrote large checks for some doctors, research, and charity work, and donated more than $375,000 to Mount Sinai, much of it to breast cancer center by Dr. Ava Dubin, who dated him in 1980s, Dr. Dubin became Epstein's conduit to Mount Sinai, connecting him and women in his orbit with doctors. They're in arranged positions at hospitals for at least two young women at Epstein's request. So where's the hearing? It sounds like we could have a large parade of doctors asking them specifically about victims and about services. This, by the way, you know what this would be similar to, Pat? When the FBI got Capone's accountant. A key, a key to everybody else.
Starting point is 02:24:02 Got it. Adam. Well, obviously whatever happened with Epstein, we're going to figure out what happened there, but can I go back to the Bill Clinton thing? I don't know what's going to happen with Bill Clinton, but... Comment on this and go to Bill Clinton. Comment here, then go back to Clinton. Okay, so as far as the, this is the dentist? Yes. So, I mean, when someone dies... No, I have access. If those doctors are around, if you get towards those doctors,
Starting point is 02:24:25 what can you learn from what those doctors did for Epstein? Let's subpoena them and let's have them talk. I mean, you can learn a lot for these people. Please, like, that's a great angle. At the same time, you know, if they did nothing wrong and he was just, you know, By the way, okay, so either this doctor is guilty of being complicit in... Well, that's malpractice. You can't be practicing dentistry. Look at it.
Starting point is 02:24:47 He's laying on a freaking bed in like a massage room. We can see his face. Vaseline on the freaking bed, if that's an assaline. I don't know if there's anything illegal about operating doing dentistry on an island. I don't know. I think it is. But we see his face. Let's subpoena the guy.
Starting point is 02:25:03 So, but to me, he's a small piece of the puzzle. The Bill Clinton thing is kind of what I wanted to address. It seems to me that Trump is kind of like defending Bill Clinton or Bill Clinton is almost like not throwing Trump under the bus. Why is that? Because there seems to be a brotherhood of the presidency. Do you know how many people are alive today that shared the presidency? Five.
Starting point is 02:25:28 Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton. Biden's mostly alive. That's true. But there is a brotherhood. And to me, mostly alive. You know, the words, the rhetoric that they say, you know, Trump's a fascist. Okay. Joe Biden is the worst president ever.
Starting point is 02:25:48 Barack Hussein Obama. But what happens when they're in the same room together? Were they at Jimmy Carter's funeral about a year ago? Were they all not sitting together, shaking hands? Not Michelle. Playing nice. Not Michelle. Not Michelle.
Starting point is 02:25:58 She's not a president. And she is a woman, apparently. But when the presidents are in the same room together, they at least respect each other. because let's respect the office of the presidency. Regardless of what you think about the Democrats or the Republicans, there's five presidents alive who know what it's like to be in the Oval Office. Two of the greatest presidents that we've had in our lifetime are still alive. That's Trump and Clinton.
Starting point is 02:26:21 Say what you want about Clinton's decisions. He was a great president, and the third president in that list, to me is Reagan. So they were both impeached. I think they're both ladiesmen. I think that there's Bill Clinton looking at Trump being like, you son of a gun. You have the life that I want. But I think they're going to stick up for each other.
Starting point is 02:26:41 Because if one goes down, they all go down. But Adam, to hell with the office of the presidency, if that includes somebody that is on camera, video, sitting in hot tops with all these women during and after your presidency and flying on. What did he do that was illegal? Adam, he's a married, first of all. So he cheated?
Starting point is 02:27:01 Wait, hold on one second. Adam. So he cheated on his wife? So that means Donald Trump's going to be in trouble. That means Reagan's going to be in trouble. What did he do? That was illegal. Adam, there's over a minute.
Starting point is 02:27:12 Okay, I'll go ahead. Guys, guys. What did he finish? Adam, go ahead and finish what you're going to say. I'll let you finish. Adam, they've redacted everything. We don't know who's, we don't know who's in the emails. We don't know what they've done.
Starting point is 02:27:24 We can't see the 10,000 hours of child porn that she was talking about. So how are we ever going to get to the bottom of it? We can't see anything. Stay focused on Bill Clinton. Hold on, wherever his name is. Adam, wherever his name is in emails and stuff like that, it's all gone. Ready for this? Release the other $3 million so I could see if he's in there.
Starting point is 02:27:42 You're going to read it? Adam, because, let me ask you a question, Adam. Why was Epstein going to the White House 17 times? To talk about what? I'm just curious. Hold on. It's not illegal. Why is he there? What is he doing there?
Starting point is 02:27:55 Bill Clinton was deposed. Let him answer that. Okay, hold on. And then why is it that the guy that signed him on was mysteriously hanging from a tree with a shotgun chest, a hole in his chest, and the gun was never found, and they ruled it a suicide. Why would we need a Broderick lie about him? These are great stories to ask.
Starting point is 02:28:11 There's great questions to ask. Well, we're not going to see it. What has he been found guilty of? Adam, because of the brotherhood that you're talking about, none of them getting trouble. So it's, it's interesting that we will defend Trump, all these allegations, but he wasn't found guilty of anything, but yet we're going to try to double down on allegations.
Starting point is 02:28:29 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You cannot compare, you cannot compare the DOJ and them coming up with trumping up charges about how much his house was and the fake impeachment phone calls you can't do bill clinton went there bill clinton was on the island bill clinton hung out with him bill clans in the hot tuss bill clinton sure is on yes he was with won't he was he basically tried to rape her yes he almost bitter lip off so you're ready he's up that's what was he found guilty of adam guess what there's murderers walking around right now that were never found guilty because guess what they're good at what they do he's the president he knows he's untouchable he knows he's untouchable we have a rule of law we have a rule of law
Starting point is 02:29:05 in this country unless you're found guilty of something people can do hot air all they want do you think bill works the same thing for trump and clinton okay what do you mean it's that it's not the same thing adam he hasn't been found guilty of anything i'm just stating the facts the department of justice is protecting them well period then i'm not a fan of it i'm not a fan of do you trust bill clinn you don't think By the way, just so you know, just so you know when, to me, when this Iran thing is over with, this is not going away. Absolutely not. Just so you know that. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 02:29:38 If this lasts 30 days, two months, three months, this is still going to be there when they come back. I don't disagree. Yeah, I'm just telling you. So they still, you know, have to find a way to address this as well because. Why is Trump defending Clinton? You can go three different reasons why he's defending Clinton. one, they're both womanizers. Two, they both partied with women.
Starting point is 02:30:01 Three, they're both presidents. Yes. Four, you don't want to see a president being held up because it's going to come back to you as well. There's many things you can look at. But it's not just a brotherhood as well, okay? Trump is a brilliant, brilliant guy who understands what to do to minimize the noise
Starting point is 02:30:20 and he wanted Bill to say, I've never seen Trump do anything out there with women. And he wanted that to come out. And it came out. So who knows? Who knows what's going to happen with these guys? But, gang, one thing that is coming out is conversation. For some of you guys that like Palantir, invested in it, made a lot of money, and those that don't trust it.
Starting point is 02:30:41 One of the co-founders was here, multibillionaire guy. We had a conversation about a lot of things. Here's the intro. Rob. That goes out. When is it tomorrow? Yes, sir. Tomorrow 9 a.m.
Starting point is 02:30:49 Go ahead, Rob. When he say Palantir to the average person, some of the first. Some is good, some is bad, some is neutral, some are scared. Nobody is angry at you, you might not be doing much. Why do so many people not trust you? Why do so many people not trust Palantir? We have to eliminate probably up to 10,000 terrorists. The fear becomes, what if somebody evil runs it after Alex, then what?
Starting point is 02:31:09 What if somebody evil gets a hold of where you guys are building, then what? What's scary to me is if the Safari public elects a really, really bad person. Who today is your biggest enemy? are like the extreme populists on both political sides. So in a situation with a Maduro or El Mancho, is there a possibility that Palantir was involved? These guys were trying to kill Trump. It means that if they're still around after Trump's president,
Starting point is 02:31:33 they're probably trying to get him and his kids again. Why was Palantir star? Protect the West against Islamist terrorists. That's truly the mission. That was truly the mission. But a lot of people think it could turn into something. Why Palantir star for that? I don't know, this is not appropriate, but I'd be very Roman.
Starting point is 02:31:48 So you know, the Romans would do. You'd go and you wipe out the leadership class. You're all dead. And you say, okay, you guys are now in charge. We're going to make a deal or we're going to kill all of you, too. Joe Lonsdale. Joe Lonsdale goes out tomorrow morning. And for those of you guys that also enjoy hot cakes and hot takes with Vinny who are watching that show,
Starting point is 02:32:08 that is going out right after this on Valiatement Comedy. Vinny's doing a great job with that show. It's funny. It's entertaining. No politics. It's just life. And go to Valutermin Comedy. watch hot cakes and hot takes right after this.
