Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweetly bit of dirty. I know this life man for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. The handshake is better than anything I ever size. Right here. You are a one of one?

My son's right there. I think I've ever said this before. Gang, hope you had a good weekend. Obviously, the war with Iran continues, and there's a lot of stuff going on. it's not slowing down. Gas prices right now, just so you know, when we were talking about where oil prices were going to be,

as of right now, for the last five days, five days, gas prices, oil prices, crude oil is up 45 percent, for the month is up 60 percent, is what's going out. So if you go to the gas station, you have felt the difference, and it looks like there's some stuff that's going on in Strait of Hormuz, and things are not slowing down. A drone strikes, strike torches, oil tanker, in Strait of Hormuz, as Iran blockade, halts, global shipping.

Then you're seeing these clips. If you guys saw these clips with the rain coming, it's almost like an acid rain, chemicals. And this one reporter is shown, look what it's on the car. And you see the black cloud of acid rain. If you've seen the movie, the series by HBO Chernobyl that Vinny, you shared with us, It looks like that rain coming down, obviously not at that levels, but you have to see this. We'll show the clip to you. And then on top of that, there was something that happened this weekend, which Tom called last week.

And we got to give Tom credit for this. It's if Iran attacks Bahrain's water desalination area. If they do, you need that. And they did. So you need that. You need electricity. So they know what they're doing if they're attacking it. And if they go that route, it could be very nasty.

at the same time with Iran, there is a island called G-H-A-R-G Island. It's in the north, I don't know if I want to say northeast. It's an island. If you pull up the map, it's to keep going out so they can see where the island is. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Okay, so it's right there. So you see where Iran is and where that is. It's all the way at the top of straight Hormuz.

that is a very important area that if U.S. or Israel hits, it's very important because that's where 90% of the exports come out. And they haven't hit it yet. And it's extremely protected and guarded. And by the way, Tom made a good point again this morning while we're talking about this.

Once we get into it, Tom, we'll break down the whole thing for you. But if they hit this, if 90% comes out and U.S. and Israel haven't hit this, the reason why they haven't hit it is because they're planning if it does end up happening, that it's shifted. This could be the place that they could use to, you know, ship oil out to China because China relies on them for their oil, a lot of other things. But if they do hit it, it's like, listen, we don't even care if the business comes to us.

So nobody knows how that's going to be managed as they're going through. A new Supreme Leader of Iran was officially announced. And once they announced a Supreme Leader, I just want to kind of give you a resume. And you tell me if you were this person, how would you? would you manage it if you got a new job? Okay, you're ready? You just got a job, and this is Mocetabal Khomeini, who is the new Supreme Leader. His father was just killed in opening air strikes. His mother, mentioned in multiple sources, was also killed in the same strikes. His wife, Zahra, confirmed killed in the same air strikes. His son also reported killed.

some accounts specify a grandson of Ali Khomeini as Mojthtop's child. His sister, Hoda, killed his brother-in-law and other relatives, including nieces and nephews. And guess what? Here you go. You're the Supreme Leader. I don't think this guy's going to want to seek vengeance towards anybody, but he just got hard. And by the way, just so you know, allegedly a report Vinny just showed us by Breitbart that he's already wounded. And so his days are numbered.

So they're either going to take him out or if he sticks. around, would you naturally, if you watch, you know, Game of Thrones and a guy becomes a king, okay? This is like Joffrey times 10 is who he is, okay? And he's got all this animosity and rage in him. He just got the big job. And then aside from that, some incredible heroic example by the women soccer players of Iran, unbelievably, you know, patriotic, how they were able to, And I don't even know how to put patriotic because they stood up against IRGC. I believe it's a game in Australia. And they're standing up.

And you're seeing reporters from Iran. I'll play a clip to you guys. If they did this, we have to show. We have to make an example of them. We can't let them do this because this is an example of what they're doing to us and embarrassing us. We got to take them out. And people are saying, can you please keep them in Australia in this bus? Don't let them go back to Iran.

You got to see this clip. It's pretty insane. And then on a different note, while we're going through this stuff with Iran, I got so many stories that we can go to with this. Boom, I'll skip that, I'll skip that, I'll skip that. Jesse Jackson's son apparently told Barack Obama and who was it, Biden and others, guys, can we just make this about my dad and not a political event?

And so we'll cover that clip when he got up and started speaking. And some bad news for Kenya. This may be devastating news for Kenya. When you think about Kenya, what do you think about? Do you think about Obama and running, right? No, no, I'm not saying it like that. I'm just saying that's the criticism. This isn't back in the days.

When do you think about Kenya? Kenya's known for being great runners. Well, this Kenyan man who was about to win the L.A. marathon, Vinnie showed me this clip. I'm saying this can't be possible. This is AI. He says, no, this is real. I say, you mean to tell me a Kenyan man is about to win the marathon.

And this American runner all the way from a back that's a substitute teacher starts sprinting for five months is the closest race ever. and an American beats a Kenyan. By the way, that Kenyan runner going back to Kenya, he needs security because you can't let an American beat you. And a marathon. So shout out to Nathan Martin, substitute teacher for doing your thing. Been running a long time, and he finally got a victory out of it.

And then we got a few other things we got to get into. You know, there's a story about Tucker Carlson. Trump kicks Tucker Carlson out of Magulman. He says, you know, Iran's war criticism. He's lost his way. you know, you got Trump demands unconditional surrender to the war. There's a story of these innocent girls, this school, that how many kids is it? Is it 160, 170 girls? Heartbreaking.

And one side saying it was Iran, one side is saying it was U.S. And even Hex, that said, we have to investigate this to see what happens. And some of the critics, 168 casualties, when a strike hit, Shajaran, Tayebe, which we'll talk about elementary school in Minab in southern Iran on February 28th. This is the kind of stuff that, you know, this is. And by the way, you know the whole thing about, well, this is the price of war and all this other stuff? This is when you lose the media stuff. And FYI, sometimes in Iran, there was an event that happened many years ago.

We'll talk about it here in a minute when we get into the story, which I'll share with you. But devastating, we'll cover that as well. Aside from that, we've got a few other things that we'll get into. obviously a lot of the war. Russia reportedly helping Iran target American troops. It's a daily caller story. U.S. economy could be in dire straits as Hormuz slams shut. The famous line we're hearing right now is short-term pain, long-term gain.

We'll play that clip for you as well. Golf states had a strategy playing nice with Iran. It failed. That's a Wall Street Journal story. We're definitely going into that. And then Epstein's prison guard googled him minutes before body found. Wait, what? Yeah, yeah, he Googled him.

And then he definitely did. She definitely didn't get paid, right? No, no, she did. There's no way. Yeah. Is there documentation like maybe a deposit? Vinny's shows, yeah, there was a $5,000 documentation before of a deposit. And something like a $10,000 documentation.

Six different ones, wrong? Yeah. Six different deposits. But listen, maybe it's just somebody tipping her because it's like nowadays people tip $5,000. It's probably a casino thing. Yeah. So we'll cover that and then we got a few other stories. Now, let me give you guys a very weird thing you're going to hear.

hearing me say right now, you've never heard me saying it's about our merch. You ready? I don't want you to purchase anything between now and April 1st from VTmerch.com. I don't want you to buy anything. And here's why. In the last three months, six months, we had our system with a three PL company we were working with as well as our team that we had. We were flooded with orders, thousands on top of thousands of orders that we are behind. And I told my team, I'm going to tell our audience not to buy anything until 100% of everything is fulfilled. And by the way, their bonuses are tied to merch grown. And I'm telling you, don't buy anything until I tell you we're 100% caught up. I'm sharing this with you. I know

it's not, you'll never hear a business owner telling customers not to buy stuff, but this has how I've done business for the last 20, 20 some years. I am very straight up. If the accountability is on us, I will call it. If it's on others, I will call it as well. Our team is working day and night. Our new executive that we brought on board, we're very excited about. He was at Italy last week. He was at Vegas the week before. We just moved to a brand new 3PL.

Dozens and dozens of pallets of merch. We moved from one area to another area to be able to expedite the items that are going out. But I said to them, I am not going to be driving a single CTA for anybody to purchase even one small little thing until you guys get everything together. This is 100% on this guy. the CEO of this company. So it's my fault, it's my responsibility, and I'm telling you right now, I'm not giving any names from our team or anybody else.

I'm just telling you right now, until April 1st, until I tell you we're ready, do me a favor. Don't purchase anything. Okay, this is not a, you know, art of war tactic and all, let me go by. I'm telling you, don't order anything because we are not caught up. We were not expecting to get this many thousands of orders,

which, by the way, you have no idea how much I love seeing you guys on the streets when you were in the gear, and you come up, me had some this weekend i don't know what happened this weekend i'm out with the family i can't tell you how many conversations had with people it's guy named joe comes up to me with his wife he says man we never miss it we never watch i'm going to the other oh my god it's you i heard the voice i knew can i and i love seeing when you guys sport the gear because it means we're united in the fact that

future looks bright and that's never going to go away our vision long term is massive on what we want to do with it i'm wearing it right now wearing a future looks bright shirt right now I'm wearing the shoes right now, but please do not place any orders until April 1st. When we catch up with our thousands of orders that are going out between now and then, can you do me favor and do that? Thank you for that. Now, having said that, let me get into the next thing. 51% of you who watch this podcast, and I've helped us go from a regular show with 20-30 viewers

to now, you know, being a top 20 podcast worldwide on, you know, on Spotify and on YouTube, it's a top 20, top 15, top 10 podcast. it wouldn't happen without you, but it helps our algorithms if you subscribe as well. 51% of you watch this show weekly. You regularly tune in, 51% of you, but you haven't subscribed. I would like to take that 51% to 40% with your help. I believe we can pull it off. And if we do that, more subscribers, higher quality guests, better conversations with you.

Thank you for doing that. Having said that, let's get right into it. Okay. So, new Supreme Leader has been announced, and I'm coming to you guys. here on this one. Mottaba Khomeini is officially the new Supreme Leader of Iran. They just announced

it, celebration. Rob, if you want to play this clip, when the announcement was made, go forward. Member of the Assembly of Experts, Grand Ayatollah Seid Mosh Tabah Kamenei, our dear leader, our guardian jurist, Allah. Great Akbar.

What happened there? Somebody... What is this, Rob? Is this... It's not... It's AI translated. Allah-u Akbar. God is the greatest. Okay.

Well, by the way, to give credit, there's a lot of a lot of a celebration going on in this clip because this is pro-IRGC community that's out there announcing that they just got their new Supreme Leader. But let me announce to you what happened with this new job. And I said that earlier, but I'm going to put this in the clip because I want the clip to go out. Then Tom, Adam, I'm coming to you guys on this.

Imagine you just got a job. Hey, we want you to be the leader, the Supreme Leader of Iran. Like, okay. But just in the last week, your father was killed, your mother was killed, your wife was killed, your son was killed, your sister was killed, your brother-in-law was killed, and other nephews and nieces were killed, and congratulations, now you're the Supreme Leader, and a moment that is announced, an article comes out saying, you've already been wounded, which you know you're going to be a target because the president says Iran confirms new Supreme Leader,

Mostabakhamenei is wounded. So one, you're a target. They're going to take you out. They want to take you out. Number two, you want to seek vengeance. What would you do? So, Tom, your thoughts with the new, were you surprised that this is a new Supreme Leader or is just kind of something, a name that was coming up?

No, they're going to proceed and they're going to name a new leader. They are never going to back down and say, okay, you know, our Supreme Leader was, you know, killed, removed, assassinated, depending on who's saying the story, right? Vinny, they'll pick the word. Nonetheless, him, his family, people that were there, the bunk. the bunker busters got all the way downstairs and a lot of people died well they're going to name a new one it's just like the um even at times of war and unrest there was always a new pope named there was always a new pope so they're going to they're going to do this now what what happens now is it's a new target

because the regime collapse is the strategy and so if this guy and his anger and vengeance because you told me about that when Ayatoa Rula Khomeini came in 79. Rula Khomeini, yes. Yep. When he came up, he says everybody knew it was bad news because they knew he had a chip. They knew he had a mission. They knew he was really, you know, violent and ruthless underneath. So they knew what was coming.

This guy, never mind that he's going to be thinking of the vengeance of all of these family members. never mind he's going to be thinking of following in his father never mind that the supreme leader is a kind of militaristic leader never mind all that this guy in place is a target because they want to take the regime down and if this guy gets power rally people's up that's just a problem

Adam look everything that comes down with Ayatollah comes into three camps right so you have the camp that absolutely loves this guy They think he's the heaven on earth. There's nothing that he could do wrong. God bless you, Pvedim. God bless you, Your Honor. These are the religious zealots.

They absolutely love this guy. There's no talking these people out of that. And I get it. I respect that. Then there's the people that are just like, whether they're in Iran or whether they're around the world, they're just like, look, I get it. You have your religious beliefs.

Just let me do my own thing. Cool. Let me have my beliefs. Stay out of my way, almost like a libertarian perspective. And then there's the people who are like, no, you've had your chance. You've had 47 years of rule. We know what you stand for.

Stay the F out of my life. And unfortunately, the people in the middle are going to get run over. And you have to realize this. The loyalists and the people who want this guy out of their life forever are going to clash at some point. And it's going to get ugly and it's going to get messy. And thank God we have America on the right side of history. that's defending the people that want this guy out. I don't know how long he's going to be there.

Tick, tick, tick. We'll see how long it left. Tick, tick, tick is actually hit because this is probably the worst promotion in the history of promotions. It's like being promoted the captain of the Titanic. You don't want this on your resume? No, after it hit the iceberg to like, congratulations. I don't want to be the captain, Pap.

You have to understand. You're the new starting quarterback of the Jets. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, no, no. Which may be a worse job, Tom. Yeah, no, it's horrible. By the way, the guy that wanted was a previous starting quarterback. quarterback of the Jets. So that joke doesn't work anymore because Sam Darno won the Super Bowl.

Exactly. So now that's backwards. But not on the Jets. But they all got hurt. On the Jets. Well, you made it. Not up in your life. Keep going to be. Remember in Godfather how Robert De Niro played the character of the Don? And remember, his father was killed. They killed the mother. And then how long did he wait 40 years, 45 years to come and avenge the death? Imagine this guy and what gripe and how much angry. He doesn't have 40 years. He doesn't have 40 years. He doesn't have, exactly, he doesn't have that. But by the way, they know where he is. They know between Mossad, CIA, UK, I don't know about MI6, if they're involved, they might be, but they know exactly where he is, where he's sleeping, who he's talking to.

That's not the question about it. The question is, what is somebody like the UK going to do? Mind you, this guy, they know where his houses are. He owns $100 million worth of houses. We talked about it last year on Billionaires Row. Billionaires Roe in North London. I wonder if they're going to get involved. Is he going to be visiting?

Where is he at? You know what I mean? It's worth $3 billion. By the way, their family, just so you know, is documented. An article was done on the Chaminet family net worth. Yeah. At one point, $95 billion. $95 billion.

Can you type in Rob, Chomeney net worth? Yeah, family net worth. Can you imagine Rob now knows how to say it's a family like Jones. I never thought the day would calm, Rob. Rob speaks Farsi at this point. Look at that. Their net worth is estimated to be between $95 to $200 billion. Yeah, but you know why that is, though.

No, they made this. money because they're big AI technology. Oh, they're tech entrepreneurs. They're capitalists. Is that what they are? Are they siphoning off the money from the euros? So Pat, let me ask you a question. So Pat, let me ask you a question.

Yes. This guy's next up. Do you really think he's about that life, this playboy having all this lavish life? He's worth all that money. What do you mean about that? No, I'm saying like, you think he wants to step up? You think. You don't think he's about duck life?

By the way, let's be honest. You're the son of, you, Adam, 50 people in your. circle family members brothers cousins they're all dead you think he's about that Allah walk bar I'm gonna die and get virgin yeah I don't think no I respect the question I don't think he's about let me can I answer that yes he's about that life okay we'll see everyone in that inner circle is quote unquote about that life well he's about to get that miss or this big by the way he's about to get a missile by the way he's about to get a missile on Friday as if it was breaking news that it happened over the weekend this guy he's been groomed for this position it's

like they're like, who's this going to be? Their father was 186 years old fighting Rocky Marciano and then all of a sudden he's the new leader. They knew this was going to happen. He's been groomed. He's gone through the training camp, so to speak. He has the ideological beliefs. And this is what he stands for. Can I push back?

They killed the entire. He wasn't next up at him. This is just the son. They killed everybody. It's not just his son. It's his son. Adam, let me finish. I'll wait. Again, because you've been doing this a lot. I'll let you breathe. He wasn't next in a lot. line. They had a gang of people in line. We killed all of them. So now he went from Adam. He was the

20th backup quarterback. Now what's up to him? He's buying, he has houses and you cane. He's traveling. This guy's, I personally don't believe he's about that life. Now he's being forced to be put in that life. And guess what? He's not going to last long. Okay, so too, Shea, I'm going to throw one back at you when I heard you out. What's your point? My point is this. I don't think a guy that's buying luxury houses and has all these cars and everything thought that we were going to kill every single person in the circle and now he went from the 50th in line to number one. Okay, so he doesn't want it. I'll ask a very calm, collected conversation.

If he didn't want it, which I don't think you're right. Why would he take the job? No, they made him get the job. He didn't sit there and go, I'll take it. He's next. You got to take it at him. He's in the line. Well, listen, I never thought.

This is the highest order of honor you could possibly have as supreme. I'm trying to read the underlying debate here. Are you guys saying whether he listens more to like a. Butane Clang or Tupac? Like cash rules everything around me or fuck life? Oh, great. He's Wu-Tang. You think he's Wu-Tang.

He's hit him up. All right. I think it's Wu-Tang. He's already hurt. He's already hurt. All right. Okay. This is natural progression.

What do you think? You have an eye on this. You have a finger on the hole. I think this was the guy to get the job. Because Khomeini, believe it or not, Khomeini's grandson, who was one of the candidates, they put him in that school that they, you know, whatever the main school is that you. you go to what they develop you, the indoctrination school.

I had the prince of Islam that came on board when we were talking to him. He went to school with Khomeini's grandson, and they actually didn't give him anything. They kind of set him aside on the sideline and didn't do anything with him. So I don't think Khomeini's son was going to get the job. If they kill him, he may get the job. But let me tell you what just happened. Rob, go back to one of the clips that you had. The grandson, the son of, this is Ayatollah Khomeini's grandson.

This is what he said, the grandson said this four weeks ago, folks. Go ahead. And the Israelis know, they arefoon by directa, and Israel's new full world that if it comes when any Islamic nation is capable of firing missiles at Israel. And strike in Israel, and if they are capable of erasing Israel, They will do to Israel what Hamas did to it. All the Islamic nations, all of them. Today we see that some countries in the region are not fulfilling their duty,

saying they are incapable of doing so. Israel knows America knows, and the leaders of the superpowers know. And if a day comes when the Islamic countries are capable of Obama and Israel, Pause it right there. Okay, repeat. Wow. This is the son of the guy that just became the Supreme Leader about that way.

Is this guy one of the ones that was killed in the bombing? No, I don't think so. That's a good question. I don't think it's this one that was killed. You know, the one thing about Muslims, they have a lot of kids. Says at least one son reported killed. Okay, Rob, can you check to see if that was the son that was killed? Yes.

I don't think it was him, though. If it wasn't it. So, Pat, if it wasn't him, guess what, Adam? That's the guy that's about that life. This guy's about that life. I haven't seen one video of the son of Khomeini talk reckless like that. That guy's living the lavish life. I haven't heard one speech saying if we had nukes or we had bombs, whatever, let's erase Israel.

Can I ask you a question? Yes. So Vinny, Adam, what do you think? Look at the westernization and the attraction. When I say westernization on the business front, Western hotels, Western businesses that are trying to attract. There's a, it's called Television City, I believe, is in Dubai. It's a little area where it's basically media companies. And, you know, Tucker Carlson buying a place in Qatar, and we'll leave out everything else about Tucker.

But the point is there's a lot of people and a lot of things happening over there. Do you think those people are awaiting to get nuclear weapons to erase Israel while they're basically doing deals with the West and expanding? And the PIF is investing in companies in the West and all that? they find kind of hard to believe that everyone is sitting sitting there below the surface that they all secretly wish they could nuke Israel. I agree in the fact that not Dubai and stuff like Dubai is like Vegas now. They're trying to expand and they're trying to be, you know, westernized. But I do believe that there's certain ones, Tom.

There's certain ones. Absolutely. Tom, anybody that has the attitude of death to us, I have a huge problem with that. And this notion, this notion of just leave them alone. don't need to be involved with anybody, but you do not, like, Tom, and I'm asking you genuinely, you're an educated man, you're very educated. If I was threatening to kill you constantly, and I'm killing people in my family, I'm just, and I'm building something at some point, would you ignore me forever? Would you ignore me and let me get to the point where I can do it?

What, do you think I'm talking reckless, or do you think I actually mean what I, what I'm saying? I would assume that you meant it, right? Yeah. So would you do something to stop me, or would you just say, no, guys, by the way. We don't get involved, let me. Absolutely. Yeah. So Rob ran a poll, 5,000 votes. How long will Khome and they remain as Supreme Leader of Iran? Days, weeks, months, years.

Look what the poll came back as. 53% think it's days. Bingo. So you got 81% say he's got weeks to live, days to weeks to live. So we'll see. We'll see what happened with the announcement here. Now at the same time, Trump demands unconditional surrender to end war in Iran. Will he get that? Here's what he had to say. President Trump wrote in a

Friday morning truth social post that the U.S. will make no deal with Iran besides an unconditional surrender of the country's leadership after that section of a great and acceptable leader. We and many of the are wonderful and very brave allies and partners will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. Iran will have a great future. Make Iran great again. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Rob. You have a clip as well on that. I do. Here's the president. Go for it, Rob. Can you give us an idea of what unconditional surrender looks like to you? I mean, what do you want from Iran? I said unconditioned. I said unconditioned. It's where they

cry uncle or when they can't fight any longer. There's nobody around to cry uncle. That could happen too. We've wiped out their leadership, new. worst times already. So it's if they surrender or if there is nobody around to surrender, but they're rendered useless in terms of military. There you go. Tom thoughts. Well, I think what he's, when you hear that, do you think he's going to get that? Do you think, I don't, I don't know, in my wildest dreams, I don't see an unconditional surrender. Unconditional surrender says, okay, we're going to come in, no conditions. We're going to come in and we're going to destroy any bomb making, any military,

industrial complex that you may have. We'll do that after this is over. Sign here. We'll be in in a minute. We'll send some guys over and we're going to take care of all that. That's an unconditional surrender. I don't think our round's going to give them an unconditional surrender. I think this is Trump putting the line out there that's saying, hey, hell's fury doesn't stop

until we get this. and you see who was standing behind him on that aircraft? Woodcoff. Not, yes. Woodcoff and Hexed. Hegst was looking over his shoulder, but it was Whitkoff who was standing in the background. And I don't think they're going to get an unconditional surrender.

I think they're drawing the line way out. And I think that's the message. Vinny. I don't see the Iranian IRGC just going, yeah, you know what? We're done. We're going to give up. That, that, that's my one issue.

issue with this whole thing, Pat, is was this to, because what I initially thought was it's for the people in the street that were dying. Were we going in to help them? And once it all started, then I think the president said it, it was to take out their launching missile capabilities. So I want to know what's the status of all the people that were fighting in the streets. Like, what are they doing? Are they just now standing by and waiting for everything to get bombed out? Because I don't feel like there is a plan for leadership. Who, if they're going to keep taking now, cousins, brothers, everybody's going to keep getting killed, and the next man up is going to come up, and they're going to have days or weeks time.

But that's not on the president prime minister side. That's on the Supreme Leader. It's like they're Pope. Yeah, no, no, no. I'm saying the objective of this mission, the American Israel war in Iran was for what? I thought it was because there was 40,000 people, if the number is correct or not, dying and fighting in the streets. And then once it started, I heard different. I heard it was for getting rid of their missiles and stuff like that,

which it seems like they're kicking butt in that sense of it. But if you take a step back and look, it's not Rezao Palavi. He's self-proclaiming, Pat. He's self-proclaiming that he's going to be the leader of the, you know, not the revolution or whatever. He's promoting himself as the guy. But I'm just saying, once there's smoke and all the sut oil smoke bombings clear. Transitional leader.

Yeah, the transition. I'm just hoping that there's something because if you kill, everybody, then what? Who's going to take charge? Who's going to be in charge of the country? That's my only thing, Adam. So, this is civilization versus barbarism. I'll say it again.

This is civilization versus barbarism. And I think that the Trump administration has learned from all our past mistakes in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya, in other countries around the world like Syria, that we've been in a debacle. I'll say this also.

The Iranian people are Persians. They're not Arabs. It's a totally different ideology. It's a different history. The mistakes that we've made all over the past that I will admit that George Bush and the Dick Cheney wing of the Republican Party have completely ruined the reputation of the Republican Party when it comes to war. But Trump ain't those dudes. Trump gets in, gets out, he's precise. You know, the whole debate in Congress these days is this a war? Well, it's not a war. Have they declared war? Is this a conflict? Is it a battle? Is it an incursion? Is this a military offensive? Everyone wants to basically have these war of words over whether this is a war or not. But you did a great video, PPD. I encourage

everybody watch it about, is this a regime change or regime collapse? I don't know what this is going to be yet, but I know this. The world is so much of a better place without the Ayatollah Khomeini in power and the IRGC in power. And whatever happens next remains to be seen, But you control the controllable and you take those people out when you can and you deal with the consequences after that. Yeah, I think it's going to be one of eight things that's going to happen. And people have to pick in shoes, which one that is. One is the Samson option.

You know what the Samson option is? You've seen Samson when he's in the temple and they all come in and they're like, okay, you're going to take all of us out? Everyone's going down, including me and then boom, everything collapses. So if they push Iran too much to that level, will Iran decide to do something dumb like that and take everything out? I don't know. That's not... By the way, when you say, you know, you say,

gee, they don't have anything to come out, but they may do stuff internally with their... Like, what happened with the two kids, the two boys in New York, that with the... What do you call it? The bombs that they threw? We'll talk about that here in a minute as well. That's one. Number two is, an even

more extreme leader takes over and makes it even worse if they're able to survive it. Number three is certification, which is kind of like it, just kind of a keeps fractured, keeps going. It's always problems, always issues. Then it's still made, nothing happens, stays the same. Fifth one is a military guy takes over,

which is even worse that happened to Brazil, that happened to Argentina, that happened to a lot of different countries. And then you have the Persian Spring. Then you have the Marshall Plan, which everybody around the world is going to want to come and fix it. You know how much it costs to fix Europe? Marshall Plan, you know how much the world put?

It would be around $130 to $150 billion of today's money, which, by the way, Vinnie, is not a lot of money. You know how many Marshall plans the world has tried to fix Africa? Can you pull up, if you saw it, can you pull up how many Marshall plans and how much dollars the world has spent to try to fix Africa? Okay, before you pull it up, can you guess how many Marshall plans we've tried on Africa? How many Marshall plans have we tried on Africa? 100? 50. 50.

how much money you think has been spent since 60 till today Tom Saw it so pull it up since 1960 till today look at the number look at the number from 1960 to 2000s half a trillion to a trillion dollars has been used which is the equivalent of four to eight trillion dollars we've spent to try to fix in today's money in today's money and we failed how is it right now has it been fixed no not so So in the last but not least that's what? The beautiful haven.

It's incredible. It's a, you know, we go there. It's great. Kabata Tehran. Everything's back up. So it's going to be somewhere in the middle. I don't think it's going to be this. I don't think it's going to be this.

I think it's going to be a little bit of a on this side if they succeed. And by the way, anybody and everybody. Recently, there was a guy that went on the hill, went on the Sagra and Crystal show, and did an interview, this Asian guy. I've never seen him before, whom, Berto's been watching it for a while where he said three predictions he made. He said Trump's going to win the election. We reacted to it last week.

Trump's going to win the election. Number two, you know, they're going to attack Iran. And number three, Iran's going to lose, right? I messaged, we messaged him to invite him and we, you know, messaged the Sagar and then when they did the podcast. He came out and, Rob, did we invite him on the podcast on, when did we invite him a week ago? a day after the interview. You know what he said on a podcast yesterday about being on the podcast?

He says, we were trying to do a setup to him. He said he was worried because there was so many things going out and now some of the claims that he made, some of the claims that he made, he says Jared Kushner is the next Epstein. He said they won't use nuclear.

There's a bunch of different things. I thought it would have been a great conversation because of the angles that he has. And he said the third one was that Iran was going to lose or win? Win the war. They're going to win. And his argument, which, by the way, it's actually an interesting argument he makes, he says they're going to have to allow them to win for, you know, for it to be like it's not

our business anymore. They have to handle it over there. We're going to come over here. Now, he makes these arguments. A lot of people push back. What we know at this point is this. You know who knows what's going to happen next? Nobody.

You know who knows what's going to happen next? Nobody. You know who that includes? Who do you think that includes? Trump. Trump. Nobody has a clue what's going to happen next. Every one of us are speculating.

Our leaders are speculating. You don't know what the other guy is going to react to. You fight, you hope you're prepared, but you don't go. Remember when Ryan Garcia was fighting a... Haney? Tank. He's like, oh, man, he's going to hit him with the left. You know, tank's going to get the left.

Tank's going to get the left. And then all of a sudden, how did tank beat him? With the same punch that typically Ryan wins, he won with the left. You never know what's going to happen in the left. fights. It's all unpredictable. It's all nasty. And every one of us has opinions on what we think's going to happen. We're all speculating. We're all saying, what about this and what about that and what about this? But one thing we do know, let's state the facts. The IRGC hates America. They hate the way we live. That we know for a fact. We know for a fact that they killed their own people.

That we know for a fact. There was an interview done with BBC reporter. I gave her a message to to tell her great job on the interview. There was a BBC reporter that's sitting down with, I believe he's the ambassador, if I'm not mistaken, is it? Iran's ambassador to UK, Saida Ali Mosavi, about protesters being killed by the Iranian government. Look at the way he answers. This we know that Iran, unlike any other country,

is willing to cure their own people. And not by one or two or three, by the thousands. Now, within the number is 5,000 or 100,000, they're doing that to themselves. Watch this interview with BBC, Rob. Go ahead and play this clip. Go forward. Your country is under attack, but your people have also been under attack. Since we last spoke, your government has killed thousands of its own people in the streets.

You have the courage to stand up to protest against the suffering that they have been experiencing at the hands of the regime. Thousands of people were killed. How on earth do you justify that ambassador? The Iranian side has their own problems due to the economic sanctions against us. And the Iranian people, unfortunately, has their own problems in this matter. But I do believe, I do believe, yes, now our people are in a very painful and sensitive period of time. But they are supporting the government against the foreign invader, foreign aggressors. To say, Ambassador...

You see, if you go to the inside of Iran, you can see one solidarity, one unity among the people. Ambassador, we would love to be able to report independently from inside Iran to see what is really going on. Why not? But we have seen much of what has gone on. Just this morning, I looked at many of the images and watched some of the videos from what happened to protesters in your country in January. I looked at images and videos verified independently by our colleagues at BBC. verify that show body bags littered over the courtyard of a mortuary, the Karazak Forensic Medical Center in Iran. This is we know by Iran. They killed their own people. I saw images of young,

old teenagers, people killed by your government, beaten faces, bloodied bodies, gunshot wounds. How on earth do you justify that and sit there today saying, our people have some complaints? Your government killed thousands of their own people and the world saw. that. Listen to his answer. I, again, I recommend you to be very vigilant and delicate. And our colleagues have verified those images independently, Mr. Ambassador. Let me, let me finish.

And so I do not want to say that we do not have any problem. No. The problem there are, the problems there are in our country. You're killing your own people. What do you mean we do not have any problem? You control that. How to address this kind of problems according to the Iran. No, no, no, no.

You killed your own people. You can pause it right there. So guess what? This we know. Trust what people are saying. Everybody else that's got opinions, they've got opinions, we're all in a different camp. What we do know is they're willing to kill their own people. There's a group of Iranian soccer players in Australia who they had a, they're singing a national anthem.

They refuse to sing along. Okay. Rob, can you go to that one right there? But actually go to the other one first. So they refuse to sing along. And they're in the bus above. Okay, play the clip, Rob, if you could. They're not singing along.

They're in the bus above. Leaving Australia. People are begging for Australia to not allow them to return back to Iran. Now, watch how this one man, Iranian guy, reacts to this, suggesting how the Iranian government should react to these brave women who don't stand for their government killing their own innocent people. Rob, go back to the other clip if you could. And right there, watch this one. And why you're doing a pet? Just they're doing sign language saying, help us on the bus.

Don't let us go back because they know what's going to happen to them. Watch what this man says and try to read the captions. Go forward. You punish traitors harder during war. Whoever takes one wrong step against the country during war, you have to respond to them harder. Like the story of our women's national team not singing the anthem. You have to respond harshly.

This is not a symbolic act or mere protest. Not singing the anthem is the highest order of treason. Both people and officials must treat them as traitors. This is not a symbolic act. Right traitors on their foreheads and punish them severely. This is Iran. Who speaks like this in America Posit right there? And let me ask you a question.

What do you think they are going to do to those women because they're going to go back eventually? What do you think you're going to do to them? First of all, huge credit to them for having the freaking. brave to do that knowing what's going to happen and la bada you know this reminds me of ude and cussay which which saddam hussein's son was he owned the the national iraq team pat he'd have a dungeon in the stadium he'd put players upside down and beat the crap under their feet if they lost games or they did something stupid that's saddam hussein's kids which were ude and cusset which were absolutely nuts i believe it was ude would beat the hell out of them would torture them what are they going to do

they have to go back they have to go back so this is this is this is the the freaking Iran that we're dealing with. And I get it. It's horrible. Well, this is a new definition of soccer hooligans. I remember growing up, I think, I think it was Columbia. They scored their own goal and they killed the, killed the guy that scored that boat. But this is different in Iran. Look, we just had the Olympics in America. We had, we saw what the U.S. men's hockey team stood for. We loved it. It was incredible. They're down here celebrating at 11 and then they go to the White House. We loved it. On the flip side, we had whatever the skier, whatever his name was, basically saying, you know, I'm representing in America, but I don't believe in America.

What happened to him? He was shamed. Okay. You know, you know, do better. Stand for the flag. Okay. There's the shaming. Then there's like, well, let's hold them accountable.

Maybe there's some legal ramifications of, quote, unquote, being a traitor, whatever that means. In this side of the world, with these ideological nut jobs, they will kill you. Oh, by the way, if you don't agree with them. The person that said harsh punishment, you know who he was? He's not a podcaster. He's not a regular guy. Pull up who it was because I know people are going to say, well, who is that guy? Who cares what a guy like that would say?

The guy, according to Grock, that said what he said is Mohamed Rezao Shahbazi, a presenter on Iran's state TV. It's their state TV, which means he's representing who? The state. Of course. He's the commentator threatening harsher punishment for the women's team as wartime traitors after they didn't sing the anthem. That's what they stand for. Can you imagine like Abby or Scott Jennings or Hannity or Anderson Cooper? You know what?

If Colin Kaepernick didn't stand up, we should give harsher punishment. Are you out of your mind? Like to us, if somebody said fire him. Oh my God. This man is trying to. No, no, they're saying harsher punishment. What do you think harsher punishment? That's the guy right there, by the way.

Mohamed Razaa Shabaziz, is an Islamic Republic of Iran broadcasting, representing who, whatever the Iranian government wants. His payment comes from the state. He's not going to say anything. Rob, when you go down, is there a breaking story? Can I tell you what the biggest thing is? I understand the soccer situation, Pat.

There's something bigger. And it's this article here from the Wall Street Journal word says their neighbors, the Gulf states, had a strategy of playing nice with Iran and it failed. Do you want to get into that? Yes. So the Gulf, the Gulf Arab states and the U.S. allies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE spent the past few years betting that it was safer to be friendly, on friendly terms and hostile around than rather they confront it. That bet didn't work. And then it obviously goes on to basically spell out what's happened. Here's my opinion. I think the Gulf states,

they recognize what's happening in their region. You know, I've talked about this before, GDP versus GDT, gross domestic product versus gross domestic terrorism. All these states are trying to say, listen, the Middle East may be the future. I saw what you said in your regime collapsing. Maybe there's one day we go back to Iran. Maybe it's the Paris, the Middle East again. I think we're a long way from not happening. But the Paris of the Middle East right now is Dubai, is the UAE.

You think that they want this tension here? So it's almost like they said, no, let's let them be crazy. We don't want to deal with it. But you know what happens with crazy people? They act crazy. And Iran starts attacking everybody around them. The UAE, Kuwait, they start throwing missiles everywhere. They start attacking Saudi.

Saudi wants to have regional hegemony, right? All these countries have oil. All these countries want tourism. All these countries with pragmatic Arab leaders want to have the two things that every other country wants. What's that? Peace and prosperity. Iran doesn't want. peace and prosperity. So I think it's like this. They've awoken a giant in the Middle East.

Everybody recognizes that Iran is the smelly kid on the playground and nobody wants to play with these people, even their own neighbors. And now they're all saying, time to take this regime out. By the way, Vinnie just sent something. Vinnie, if you want to send what you just shared. Yeah, so right now five Iran women soccer players defect with help of police following Asia Cup in Australia. So five players, sources with direct knowledge of the event speaking in anonymously due to ongoing danger faced by the squad. Of course. Say that the operation occurred after Iran's final match

of the Asian Women's Cup. So these girls are like, hey, listen, we know what's coming. We don't want to go back home. Can you guys please protect us? And that's what you have it right there. But mind you, there's still about what, 15 to 20, still traveling, substitutions and all that stuff, that are still going back at them and they're going to have to face the fire.

By the way, this is common every time there's a World Cup or an Olympics. Right now in Miami, there's the World. international baseball classic, when you live in these despotic regimes, whether it's Cuba, whether it's Iran, whether it's North Korea, wherever you end up, and you recognize, oh my God, I'm in the liberal Western world, I'm in the United States now, I'm in Australia, I don't have to wear a hijab every second of the day. I can speak my mind. They all basically are like, yeah, I'm not going back. So this is not unique, but I totally understand why the women are enacting this. Yeah, listen, respect to them, God willing, nothing happens to them,

and they get the protection they deserve because they're against. Here's the facts. What we do know is the Iranian regime hates their own people, that they're willing to kill them. If God forbid you go on the street saying, we don't like the way you treat us, we'll kill you. That's the state, that's their state, Hannity Anderson Cooper saying, we need to, you know, bring harsh punishment to the people that are going against us. So why is anybody, Iran State TV? Before we move on, I just want to get your last opinion on this. You said 81% of the Iranian people hate the regime.

Hate. Do you think that number's changed in the last week? Meaning less or higher? Whether it may be, I think the hardliners, whether it's 10%, they're going to double down. They're doing this, basically kills any dissenters. Do you think that 80 is now 90 now that there's? smelling freedom? Do you think that they're seeing their country maybe burning and maybe the 80 is

now closer to 70 or that 80's entrenched forever and it can only go higher? I don't know. I think, listen, I think the whole concept of freedom long-term wins. During COVID, think about the people that we're talking about shut down, shut down, shut down, take the vaccine, take the vaccine, take the vaccine. You know, yeah, kids shouldn't go to school and they were supporting it. What happened? They went like this, and then all of a sudden they went like this. They're like, wait a minute, what are you talking about? I'll never forget, what was her name, Sharon Osborne? They give $900,000 to Black Lives Matter.

Yeah, you know, we shouldn't, and they're like, no, that ended up being a fraud. In a TMZ interview, if you remember that. No, I regret giving money to Black Lives Matter. But so many people are willing to go here, and then what typically brings everybody back, freedom and common sense, brings everybody eventually tears on the sense. This is too much, guys. I don't support the same thing's going to happen here as we're going through these different events taking place.

Let me go into oil. Straight of hormones. By the way, gas prices, Rob, if you want to go to oil prices, the one that Tom sent early this morning. Here's what it's looking like, the latest. Five days, oil prices, crude oil prices are up 45%. One month, 60%. Where is it right now, Rob?

If you can go look at prices right now, what are prices looking like, right now. Crude oil, if we can look up. West Texas Intermediate, 9750, just under 100. Okay, 9750, 998 is where we are. And by the way, this is all caused because of Strait of Hormuz, and it leads to this story, drone strike torches, oil tanker and Strait of Hormuz as Iran's blockade,

halt's global shipping. And, you know, some are saying it could get higher, much higher, The numbers, let me read this to you. A commercial oil tanker was set ablaze in the state of Hormuz after what struck by an Iranian suicide drone. The country's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps set Saturday with a U.S. Navy mission to safeguard ships through the region, possibly still weeks away. The IRGC claimed the tanker, the prima saline under a Maltese flag, had ignored repeated warnings not to enter the strait. according to Sanim, Tasnim, a news agency, Iran's news media,

the flow of oil through straight, one of the world's most vital energy. We already know the numbers. We've talked about that. As a result, U.S. oil prices shot up $20 a barrel in a week now is $30, $40 a barrel. Tom, what does this mean, and do you see it going any higher?

If yes, how much higher? Well, this is getting a little nervous on an international scale because this is taking time. And the longer time it takes, the longer the straits are closed, the more you're going to have supply issues and supply issues drives price and then fear drives price. Can we go ahead and talk about the island? Go forward, yes. Yeah. So, Kahargh Island, if I'm pronouncing this correctly, there's a picture of it right there.

And you can see the satellite picture there. Zoom in a bit, Rob. The only thing that's on this island is little square. You see right on the edges there, the island. you see those lateral ports. That's where giant tankers fuel. And then look what's on the island. Tons and tons and tons of tanks.

Not military tanks. Big round oil storage tanks. This island has got tremendous pipelines that go under the sea. And it is the island that refueles. Get this, as Pat said at the beginning, 90% of the exports from Iran go on that island. If you were to hit this island and disable it, you will absolutely disable Iran's export capabilities, number one,

but number two, you're going to cause world oil prices to go up. Now, some speculators in the U.S. aren't upset by this, Pat. They look at it this way. In the oil industry, Vinny, if you and I were drilling oil in Permian Basin, West Texas Intermediate, now we're selling oil at $100. bucks. A couple weeks ago, we were selling it at 6850. So one half of the energy infrastructure is not terribly upset. These are the drillers and exporters of other regions. The people that are going to be upset is the European economy and then specifically China. The boots on the ground,

there was speculation. There was an article came out this morning that they said, U.S. Special Forces rumored to be preparing to assault and take this island. If we, there it is, U.S. that was, and here's, here's, um, three hours ago. U.S. weighs special forces taking Gahargh Island. This would mean that the U.S. would occupy and control 90% of Iran's exports. This is huge. This either brings them to their knees, Pat, and we can get some sort of a treaty. As I said, I don't think it's going to be an unconditional surrender.

But this is huge. The oil prices are up on demand and speculation and fear and uncertainty. And then you've got U.S. Special Forces sinking here, just this headline, Pat, I think, is good for $10 this morning. Because if you think about that, what happens if U.S. Special Forces occupy that island? It means, okay, you're not exporting anything. We're going to control your exports. And by getting the Navy, this is the one area that we have a defense expert that we spoke to this morning.

They have fast boats with specialized missiles that are on the back that defend this island because it's pretty close to Iran's coast. So it is well defended and it's up all the way up at the top of the Persian Gulf. So the price of oil and all this, this is getting a little hairy, Pat. I don't think this is going to affect America that much. and I'll tell you why. We don't get our oil from this region. I don't think this is where a region that we care all too much about from an American standpoint.

Obviously, I think we're more in the Don Roe doctrine. I think Panama is a bigger deal. I think Greenland is a bigger deal. Look, there's always going to be flashpoints that come up. Tom brings up a good point with China. I did some research on where China gets their oil. And you think, oh, China and Iran, they're in cahoots together. I don't think China cares that much about Iran, to be honest.

honest with you. And I'll tell you why. Do you know the number of barrels of oil that China gets from Iran? You think, oh my God, Iran's selling all their oil to China. But that's not where China is getting their oil from. They're actually number eight on the total list. I don't know if you knew that. So China gets most of their oil from Saudi. After Saudi, they get their most of their oil from Russia, then Iraq, then Angola, of all places, then the UAE, then Malaysia. And then boom, boom, boom, down on the list is Iran. So China and Iran don't have that tight of a relationship. I think the real

relationship we got to look at is Iran and Russia. Now there's stories that Russia is sort of helping Iran spy and obviously there's a drone situation there. But China, for the most part, I know we're talking about the Strait of Hormuz, I think they're just my point is this, I think they're going to be like, hey, Ron, listen, guy, you're screwing up all our other business

with Saudi, with Iraq, with the UAE, if you want us to help you at all, you open up the straight of our moves, okay guy, knee-how, and then hangs up. I don't think they're that closer with Iran, my opinion. You agree? Well, 10%. What happens if we woke up this morning

and the S&P and the Dow dropped 10%? That's huge. 10 to 12% of their oil, and they can't get it through the street. China right now, I mean, it's not, you just pick up the phone and say, oh, I can't get, okay, well, you know,

that right? restaurant closed. I'll just call a door dasket, the other one down the street. It's not that simple. So let's have the conversation. I'm China. Yuri Ron. Ready? Hey, buddy. You mess on up my straight-a-home-house big a time. Open it up. What do you say? That conversation, I think, is happening. But China doesn't worry about it. They're just going to get oil from somewhere else. No, but you're Iran. We're playing a role play. I'm upset. You close this straight-up her moves. you're Iran. Open it up right now, buddy. What do you say? I'm busy. Tell the U.S. to stop bombing me. Well, you're going to be way busier. You're going to be way busier if you don't want our help.

Hey, hey, big brother, you're doing big trade with the U.S. I need them to knock it off. I need them to back out of this. And I'm not going to give them an unconditional surrender. I'm busy. So you think that Iran's going to talk tough to China? That basically owns them? That's fact. Fact, as you probably notice, I'm getting bombed on four sides and my Navy's been sunk. I really appreciate what you're saying here, but I need some help. I get that you're busy, but if you want our help, you keep the Strait of Harmuz open. I need Sam's. Because we get our oil from 90% from other countries in the region.

All you got to do me, give me advanced planes. Give me advanced armaments. I know giving help. Let me read you what Daily Callers says, okay? U.S. economy could be in dire strait as Hormuzlam shut. Brent crude oil, they're talking about the prices, how much it's up. Now it's 35% at the time it was 25. Despite the U.S. back war risk insurance that President Trump offered all maritime operations in the Strait of Hormuz.

Traffic remains down 90% since Iranian retaliatory strikes began. Refinery have no way to ship their oil and some are halting extraction as storage facilities at capacity. We know how much U.S. oils have been hit. A sustained 25 cent per gas prices, inflation by about 25 percentage points, according to the Federal Reserve, Strait of Hormuz is reopened and oil exports resume prices could return to pre-war levels. Very large crude oil carriers ships capable of carrying roughly 2 million barrels of oil saw their daily rental prices skyrocket from 2006,000 to over 480,000 since markets open on Monday. The rate doubling results from continued war risk insurance issued and death of vessels willing to brave the increasingly dangerous rate.

I mean, that's a real threat right there. It is. And Rob, here's the math, Pat. This is very good. Rob, you roll back up the article a little bit. Stop. U.S. gas prices move in tandem with Brent crude. For every $10 increase in crude, U.S. gas prices rise $0.24 a gallon. So a sustained takes about a month. A $40 increase in crude, and we've seen that. We've gone from 67 now to U.S.

you know, 100. So just under that, that's a dollar a gallon at the pump within 30 days, Pat. You see that? 24 cents for every $10 increase in crude. So it's going to be a dollar a gallon if this sustains for another three weeks. What's the famous phrase that you've been saying for the last two hours? Short-term pain for long-term game. Say it again now with me, brother. Short-term pain for long-term gain.

Now make it rhyme again. Short-term pain, long-term gain. This is what happens. Well, this is the talking point. point now that everybody on the Republic, we always call out one side. You got to call out our side as well. The talking point was short-term pain for long-term game with what's happening right now. And it's in unison. Rob, can you please play this? Actually, makes me laugh. Distruption for the long-term gain. Short-term pain for the long-term gain. Short-term pain,

B for long-term gain. We're going to have some short-term pain with long-term gain. Short-term pay for a long-term gain. Some short-term pain, yes. But we've got some long-term gain. short-term spike for a long-term gain. Some short-term pain for American consumers. We may have to deal with that in the short-term. Short-term and temporary. Temporary short-term pain. It's going to suck in the short-term pain.

Some short-term pain. Short-term pain. We have to focus on the short-term, short-term, short-term and long-term. Short-term. Even CNN is saying it? All of them. Everybody's lock and step.

We'll see how short it's going to be. But the pain's there. Just because it's a talking point. point doesn't mean it's true. It's like, I put it like this. Doesn't mean it's not wrong. Doesn't mean it's not wrong. So just because they're saying it's a talking point doesn't mean it's wrong. They're saying that because it actually has some validity. You know, you get compared to you compare this to ripping out cancer. You know, I had a very close person in my life that had to go through cancer who had to go through short-term pain for long-term gain. Now she's doing great. But for there

was two years of her life that she was in a very tough spot. So that's what's happening here. Look, the IRGC, the Ayatollah, is the cancer of the Middle East, and we've been at war with them since 1979, since they held how many people hostage in Iran? 400 people, 400 Americans. So this cancer needed to be ripped out one way or another. So yes, there's going to be some short, darn pain, but in the end there's going to be some long-term gain.

So listen, I mean, as you're going through this, and Tom, you briefly talked about the Kattiga, the island, the Rhege Island, however will you pronounce it, that island that was 90% of the exporting. Here's the part. I think the part that you didn't cover, Tom, that I think it's worth us putting a couple minutes into. When they say, you know, troops on the ground,

here's what I want you to think about. Imagine if the U.S. all of a sudden send some Navy SEALs, SEAL Team 6, Delta Force, to go and take over that island. Okay, now that thing is protected. We're talking to one of our guys that used to work IED for many, many years, and he's in the back with us. And he's been at that property himself.

And he says they're constantly monitoring the area. But I said, is it easy to get on? He says, yes, of course. Rob, if you can go to the island, if you go back to the picture of the island. So if all of a sudden, they go in and they take that over, go through the scenarios. Number one, scenario is what? U.S. and Israel attack this place.

Why is that dumb? Because if you later on want to get business out of it, you got an issue there. Number two, what's, if the Samson's option is what? Destroyed at all. For who to destroy it? Iran to destroy it.

Oh, really? Like when Saddam Hussein lit his own. Like water well's on fire. Exactly. I want to talk to Samson. We'll do it ourselves. Don't worry about it. We'll take it down, right, if they take it down.

So that's the part. All of some, what if we take over? What if you get some special forces comes in and takes over? Listen, guys, we got this under control. We're here now. This is going to be a player here that you're talking about straight of Hormuz to more and more. Everybody's getting smarter as well learning about everything that's going on. But if there is a way that they can get control of this, do not be surprised because the president the other day said what?

He's saying this now. Trump doesn't rule out sending American troops to Iran. He doesn't rule out sending American troops to Iran. Vinny, I'm going to come to you first on this one. Okay. Rob, you have that clip? It's what page is it on? It's page 8, New York Post.

I don't know if you have a clip on that or not. Maybe it's just a truth social that you have. I'm sorry. Okay, there you go. All right, so let me go to it. So, President Trump did not rule out sending U.S. troops to Iran, but pledged to do so only for a good reason against a virtually obliterated opponent

and here's what he had to say about it. Go forward. Where is the circumstances where you'd send in ground troops? How are you thinking about that? I don't want to talk about it now. I mean, I don't think it's an appropriate question. You know, I'm not going to answer it. Could there be possible for a very good reason? Have to be very good reason.

And I would say if we ever did that, they would be so decimated that they would be able to fight at the ground level. Out of negotiating leverage, maybe maximum, but we're not looking at. looking to settle. They'd like to settle. We're not looking to settle. They're on their third or fourth level of leadership. And they have leaders right now that nobody even knows who they are. They're being decimated. Now, you know, at some point, I don't think there'll be anybody left maybe to say we surrender, but they're being decimated. There you go. Many thoughts? Troops on the ground.

I'm anti-American boots on the ground. We've already lost about what, is it, Rob, seven or eight? Seven official this morning. Seven official that have, because, because they're stationed and bases over in the Middle East. I'm 100% against any United States military boots on the ground in Iran. I think with our technology pad, with lasers, with all the stuff that we have, this could be a war done without it. But if for some reason, because you know what the argument's going to be, if the United States does get to the point, because like you said,

it's not my call, I'm not involved, I don't know. However many we send, Israel better send the same exact number of ground troops than we do, because this is their war just as much as it's our war. I'm 100% in agreeance that this IRGC, this Islamic terrorist mentality, they kill their own people, they'll kill us in a heartbeat, they need to go. I hope the plan is in place for, I know what you said Adam, they just need to go. But if you don't have a plan set up for the people,

because at the end of all this, all the bombs, all the smoke, everything, what I care about is the Iranian people. Where my family's from, where his family's from, where my mother's every single day glued to the freaking computer and the TV, figure out what's happening if they know people that are there and all that type of stuff, okay? At the end of the day, it's the people. We want the people to have a freaking future for the kids to have a future. But if we do send ground troops, which I'm against,

Israel has to send the same exact number, or else that's what all we're going to keep hearing is, well, Israel's not sending any troops on the ground. So it has to be fair. That's my take. Adam. When do you think the United States should ever, in any conflict, ever moving forward ever send ground troops i i think we fight on our soil i don't think sending

ground troops to some war because it's not a threat a major threat to us at the moment what do you mean so we should never ever ever ever ever send our troops i'm not saying ever ever ever but here's my question so what are the conditions where we would are we threatened are they threatening us like right now is iran like an imminent threat right now to us to us to kill us or to harm us No. Since I know where Adam's going, did we send ground troops into Venezuela? Sure, we did. Those were paratroopers, Marines, and they were boots on the ground 20 minutes and got the guy and gave him those cool VR headphones and a gray warmup. Yes. And strapped his ass into a helicopter. Okay. Were those, did Carter send over ground troops to those helicopters that crashed in the desert when we was trying to rescue the hostages? And, and. And he specifically gave the order that under protected them. He didn't send as much equipment as they recommended to him. When we went and got Osama bin Laden.

Yep. Yep. There were troops in the ground. Those, and I think I know where you're going, Adam, I agree with those specific mission actions. I do not want to see ground troops going on, creating the camp and all the stuff that we did on the Iraq war. I don't want to see that. I don't want that. I didn't vote for that. And I'm not in favor of that. I want this to get back to the mission

was to dismantle nuclear capabilities, dismantle the ability to manufacture ballistic missiles, and dismantle the stockpiles of those things that were ready to go. That's what I signed up for. With that comes with all of those people getting the regime absolutely, you know, crushed so that a new Democratic Iran can emerge and understand that there was a wonderful time in the 60s and 70s before all this broke out, that they were a glorious Persian nation Middle East. That's what I signed up for, not an extended deal. Now, if we have to take a, put guys on the ground as a mission to take, to take a – Kaherg Island and then shut the valves off.

Okay, but that's a mission. That is in-out. I do not want camps and troops the way we had in Iraq at all. I hear you, and I'll just ask this. Do you trust Trump? Because if you trust Trump, like many of us do, you'll recognize you need to stop playing so scared. We saw what happened in Iraq.

We saw Afghanistan. What indications do you have that Trump is going to get us embroiled in a George W. Bush mission accomplished war. I don't have any evidence of that. So at some point we have to say, you know what? I kind of trust this guy Trump that he knows what he's doing. And not only do I trust Trump, I kind of trust this Marco Rubio guy who's looking more and more like the guy in 2028.

And by the way, kind of also trust this guy. Pete Hegseth kind of knows what he's doing. And also kind of trust our generals at this point. So we have to stop playing so scared and saying, I don't want boots on the ground. We have boots on the ground. What you're really saying is no more stupid, foolish, endless wars

where we spend trillions of dollars trying to build democracies in a part of the world where they don't want democracy. So we have to compartmentalize what we're really saying. Do you trust Trump? Check. Do you trust the people in charge?

Check. Are we going to stop spending trillions of dollars for stupid wars? Check. If that's the case, put your trust in Trump. and let him finish the job. By the way, you could trust somebody, Adam, trust, you know, the same trust, but verify. Guess what?

I trust that he's making right decisions, but he's not Jesus Christ. He can make mistakes. He's going to make a lot of mistakes. He's not perfect, and that's what a lot of people look at people like us. I really don't like what you said the right thing. No, I already know. They look at us like, oh, you guys are just blind loyalists.

No, no, I'm not stupid. We're definitely not blind loyalists. There's one perfect and it's Jesus Christ. Nobody even comes close by, Adam, it's, It's not even explainable. You're sure about Muhammad? Nobody. So they're going to make mistakes.

And I agree with Tom. Little, you know, missions here, missions there, a full invasion boots on the ground. Adam, because here's my point. I hope that there is a clear objective mission. Because once the missiles are gone, once the oil, all their capabilities are destroyed, and the smoke clears, then what? Then what? Okay.

We killed the main guy. Another guy stepping up. Kill him. Wait, another one's coming up. The number 200th guy in place is coming up. Sure. What I'm saying is the plan of, I don't like the attitude of, well, we haven't gotten there yet. So that means the objective of the plan is going to be a couple of weeks, is what we said.

So let's find out in a couple of weeks, Adam, if it gets to the point where they're like, hey, wait a minute, these people are not giving up. Because I don't know if you know this or not. Iranians, those people that you're talking about are very proud. And they're going to fight to the death. So my thing is, kill everybody, but then what about the leader? Who's going to look around and go like this? But the leaders, we're kind of playing whackamola. Let me say this to Vinnie, May I respond real quick, Vinny.

So I hear you, Vinny. I put this into three camps. By the way, if you poll Republicans right now, almost 90% agree with what Trump is doing. Overall, his approval ratings. So there's three camps. There's the loyalist. Trump could do no wrong. He's basically the reincarction of Jesus Christ.

I hear you. That's a little. aggressive to me. Then there's the people who are like, look, I trust you, bro, but I'll verify. I'm still MAGA, but listen, man. And then there's what I would call the blasphemous MAGA, the Tucker Carlson camp, who Trump just basically kick the hell out of MAGA, who's basically saying Trump is wrong, Trump is evil, you can't do this. Trump's looking at the marketplace. You don't think Trump looks at the news, the media is going after Bill Maher, he's saying things. You don't think he's looking at people like Tucker Carlson who are literally talking trash about President

in Trump and saying, dude, you're gone. You're no longer MAGA. Beat it, geek. So I think Trump is looking at the marketplace. And I think if you're a full-throated supporter of Trump, God bless you, I understand. He has flaws. If you're understanding, listen, Trump's the guy. He was elected. There was a mandate. Seven swing states. He's on board. Let's go. But if you're full on talking crap about the president, whether you're on the ridiculous left or the ridiculous right, Trump ain't got no time for you. So it's perfectly okay to question, but Trump knows what he's doing. There you have it. So you either support one or the other one, but the reality is I don't think anybody in America wants the long-term staying of a place like what we do with Afghanistan or Iraq,

even the people that are supportive of what's going on right now with this. By the way, remember how I said everybody has got an opinion, but then trust what people say. Here's what Iranians are saying. This is from the IRGC, Rob. Here's what he ought to say. This is facts. This is what they're doing. This is what they're saying. Go ahead, Rob. Parents. Just two minutes. If your son or daughter doesn't listen, it's not our fault. Anyone in Iran today who utters a tune that harmonizes with the enemy under their feet is Tel Aviv and in their head is Netanyahu. A shooting order has been issued for them. No one has ever spoken to you this, frankly. We don't want your child to be killed because So noble and calm.

We don't want to kill your child because they're ignorant. But parents, it's your fault. If you confuse your kids, played one more time just for re-insurance, if you guys missed it, this is a member of the IRGC given a warning to Iranians in Iran.

Go ahead, Rob. Parents. Just two minutes? If your son or daughter doesn't listen, it's not our fault. Anyone in Iran today who utters a tune that harmonizes with the enemy, Under their feet is Tel Aviv, and in their head is Netanyahu.

A shooting order has been issued for them. No one has ever spoken to you this, frankly. We don't want your child to be killed because your child is ignorant. Do you understand? Like, we're trying to compartmentalize in America where we're living in the most beautiful, safest country in the world. What it's like over there? Is that state media? What is that right there?

Yeah, I mean, that is a member of IRGC. That's like the military saying, listen, guys, we don't have to come out in Detroit or in Minneapolis or in Tulsa, Oklahoma, or Miami, and say, if you say bad things in the other regime, we don't have to want to kill you. Don't make us kill you. God forbid, we have to kill you. So parents, do yourself a favor. Tell your kids to be quiet and just take what's going on or we'll have to kill you. The Middle East is not the American Midwest. These are the psychopaths. that we have to deal with on the other side of the world. And do you think these people can be reasoned with? They'll kill their own people. What do you think they'll do to us? That's their capability.

That's what they believe in. They don't believe in life the way you look at life. By the way, Tom, you want to talk about what happened with Bahrain with that water desalination camp that they had? Yes, Bahrain says Iran had a desalination plant stoking fear of attacks on civilian sites. is it so important? Well, desalination is how they take the Gulf water and convert that to fresh water. It takes a lot of power. It takes a lot of system. General Electric is usually the one that builds these around the world. And when you have money pumping out of the ground, you have all the energy you

need to run this. But this is how, when anybody looks at the pictures, wow, Dubai, look how lush, look how beautiful. Look how this. They build golf course over there. LIV golf, they got out of these championships and look at how lush it is and everything. Where'd that come from? It came from the Gulf because they would desalination. And now they don't need to find deep water wells. They have deep water wells, but this is where they get their water so that they have a lush, you know, civilization and a tremendous opportunity to grow and expand for their people. It also is key.

And what I said last week was the minute an enemy combatant touches infrastructure for civilians, and there's two. There's sewage treatment, water treatment, so that the sewers are pumping and flowing, and there's water coming in. Those are the big two. Electricity, sometimes power grids have backups. You have solar farms. It's not as serious. It is serious, but it's not as lethal. this that they hit this shows that you know over the weekend i think we had the story over the weekend

um possession said oh we're going to we're going to back off we're not going to be hitting sites in the in the in the arab in the small arab nations now what did he mean by that the sites he was referring to was u.s. sites oh we were hitting a u.s naval radar we're hitting a u.s. dock where they conduct their ships. We're only hitting U.S. sites in your area. And if we miss it by a block or two and we hit something, oh, my bad, sorry. Well, he said, we're not going to be hitting those sites anymore. That was on Saturday, Rob, the story was on Saturday. And then Sunday afternoon, they're doing it again. And they hit a desalination plan in Bahrain. This to me, Pat, is Iran is crossing a line into hitting civilian infrastructure. And I think we need to understand just how

big of a line this is that they're crossing with the Arab neighbors. It's like crippling, you know, Bahrain's ability. And it's a partial damage. It was partially damaged. So they say it's still working and repairs are underway. But good Lord, you're hitting the water source for a small Arab nation, you are no longer hitting the port with the U.S. ship or hitting a small U.S. base with soldiers running a radar installation for the Navy. You're not doing it anymore.

You're hitting civilian infrastructure. There's a bigger story here, I think, Tom, hit the nail on the head, proverbially. So picture this. You live in the desert in a place called the Middle East. In the desert,

you're dying of water, you're dying of thirst, You're so confused. You see in the distance this oasis, and you run towards it, and you realize that you're hallucinating because you have no water and the oasis doesn't exist. Now, what happens if there was a way to have water in the desert? Oh, my God, what would you do to have that water? Well, there's three countries that are leading the way in desalination.

Those three countries are as follows, Saudi, the UAE, and Israel. you know who's not leading the effort on that iran so at some point this dam is going to break pun intended with the water right there and they're going to realize in order to survive in the desert with climate change and geopolitics going on and war all around us we're going to need water so they call oil what liquid gold there's something more important than liquid gold that is mavlov's hierarchy of power you need water to survive so if you're a attacking the life source of water, you're going to have a major problem, not just with your enemies, but with your quote-unquote neighbors who used to be somewhat allies. Iran, you messed up

big time. Okay, so next story I want to go to while we're still talking about this stuff is a, let me see this one here. Trump kicks Tucker out of MAGA movement after talkers. Iran War criticism lost his way. Is this a New York Post story? Is there a video or is it a post story? This is just a story, but this is the tweet from the person who spoke with President Trump. That's the ABC guy? Yes, sir. In a lengthy conversation just now, President Trump hit back at Tucker, who called the Iran War absolutely disgusting and evil. Tucker has lost his way. I knew that a long time ago, but he's not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. Maga's making our country great again. Maga's America First, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really,

not smart enough to understand that. Now here's the thing. While saying that, Adam, your reaction to this. Good. It's about time. I mean, I could go on and on and on and on, but at some point, when someone just is, what's the famous quote? When your enemy is making a mistake, get out of their way. Listen, if you're following Tucker, what is he doing? What does he stand for? I don't know what stands for. So this is my opinion, mine and mine only. Some people should not be their own boss. There's one person in the history of America that has been coddled by the American mainstream media for 30 years, and that name is Tucker Carlson, CNN, MSNBC, Fox. What do they do on mainstream media? They say, oh, here's a script, read this, there's a teleprompter, read this,

okay, all of a sudden he gets fired, maybe Fox News knew what they were doing, because they're doing better than other numbers, and they said, yeah, Tucker get out of here. Tucker goes and forms his company with Neil Patel, whoever that is, and all of a sudden he... He's a player. Neal is a player.

Sure. He's not that good of a player to basically get Trump in the MAGA camp, Tucker in the MAGA camp, because Trump just kicked him out. Basically, he shouldn't be his own boss. And in my opinion, this is who Tucker is. He's been had the guardrails of CNN and the establishment and MSNBC and Foxing.

I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to show you. Listen, let's go through this. Okay, with Tucker. So, Rob, do you want to play the new survey that came in that Mario Nafal just posted? Mario Nafal just posted this. 45% of young Republicans see Jews as a threat.

This just came in. And this is right now, if you look at the news on X, today's news, the top. poll 23,000 posts about this. Young Rep. Just go today. Go to news today. Rob, go to the ride. Go to search, explore. And go to trending. Actually, I'm sorry.

Go to For You? For you? Okay. If you go to Mario and if I literally just texted it to you a couple minutes ago, if you have it, I texted it to myself. I'm sorry, Rob, this entire time I'm thinking I texted it to you. My apologies. Did you get it?

No, let me send it to you. I send it to myself. I'm thinking I'm sending it to Rob. Right there, right there. Thank you. Okay, perfect. Watch this. Mario in a fall, shocking poll.

45% Republicans under the age of 44 sees Jews as a threat to the American way of life, double the rate of a for older GOP. Generational Bruin. Well, according to the survey, Tucker Carlson is a big factor. Tucker's got massive support for them. 55% think he's presidential material. 58% would vote. should we start worrying for Tucker?

This is from Mario in the fall. How do you react to this, Adam? So brain rot is a real thing. And if you've been programmed by TikTok for the last 10 years to think that this is the way you should be thinking, then you're probably going to fall into this brain rot camp. I think the biggest loss that we've had in America by far has been Charlie Kirk.

Because since the fall of Charlie Kirk, we've seen the following things. We've seen Tucker Carlson. just go full on, full retard, as they say, right? We've seen Candace Owens go from friend, ally, to full-on enemy of Erica Kirk and Turning Point USA. Full-on enemy. We've seen Megan Kelly, who, for the most part, has been a reasonable actor, realize,

oh, my God, the chat loves it when I say horrible, bombastic, ridiculous things. Let me feed into that. So I think with the loss of Charlie Kirk, we've lost a reasonable person who has basically held back the idiots and the lunacy and the brain rot right from basically taking over. And then you have Nick Fuentes and allegedly closeted homosexual, let him defend himself on that. We'll figure that out. Who's saying the following, Hitler was pretty damn cool. Ask yourself as Americans. Is Hitler the cool guy? Was he the guy? Was he the guy that you want to basically emulate after? So you have a weirdo like Tucker. You have a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible friend like Candace.

If you like Scooby-Doo and you like murder mystery, you can watch her. Or you have a little closeted homosexual like Nick Fuentes, leading the brigade of idiocy and lunacy because Charlie Kirk is no longer here. If Charlie was here, none of this would happen. So if you think that this brain rot will help your life, keep consuming this content. God bless. Let me know how that works out for you. Now, here's what Charlie is here.

said it's going to be unnoticed. Go ahead, Vinnie. No, Mahlata, I just wanted to get for him to open it. This was a post that Charlie Kirk posted about the wars and about the new wars that would be happening. And you want me to read it, Pat? Yeah, you can. All right. It's going unnoticed because so much of the news is happening, but the war drums are beating

again in D.C. The war mongering, worry, this is their last chance to get the white whale they've been chasing for 30 years and all our regime change against Iran. The new Middle East war would be catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted for three years back in Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only begun. It will only take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit in national debt.

Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity. Thanks to President Trump's restrained during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from the Middle East, quagmires for good. We shouldn't throw that opportunity away that some D.C. has been – DC husbands can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again. So this was Charlie, you brought up Charlie. This is Charlie's tweet back in April, God rest of soul, saying that how bad a war with Iran would be.

And we're going to be. What does that have to do with the question of Tucker? No, you brought up Charlie and Vinny's showing this to you. But you know what I would tell you? That's kind of weird, Vinnie. Who do you not see right now? Not see. Not who do you not see.

Who do you not see right now in the last since the war with Iran started? Who's not that public? I'm curious about what is J.D. Vance doing. Exactly. Do you want to know what's crazy? Do you know who works for J.D. Vance? One of Tucker's sons. One of Tucker's sons works for J.D. Vance.

Really? Oh, can you please verify this? I didn't know that. One of Tucker's sons works for J.D. Vance. Yes. So Buckley was hired to join J.D. Vance's team as a deputy, press secretary, ABC reported. This is about a year ago, 24-year-old, previously worked at Capitol Hill. Now, by the way, this may mean nothing. But do you think Buckley has a good relationship with his father?

Of course. Of course. Do you think the loyalty is to father? For sure. For sure. Do you think if J.D. Vance hires Tucker's son, what do you think that is to the president? public. Like imagine if, let's just say, Pete Heckett hired, I don't know, Candice Owens' sister that they're close to or brother, right? Imagine if, you know, one of these, you know, you go Marco Rubio hires, I don't know, Megan Kelly's 22-year-old son. I don't know if she's that old to have that. I don't

think she is, but let's just say she had a 22-year-old son that's working. There is. There a little bit of, there has to be a little bit of a connection. Of course. So this is the part that I, you know, the more and more you see this, which is the part of politics, why most people don't want to get involved, it is super nasty and it's super ugly. But when there is something like this happening, if you go back and you think about in 2022, 2023, when Tucker, I don't know when it was when he was leaving Fox News, and I said

partnerships are being created. And the first partnership I talked about, if you remember, was Eli. Tucker and Trump. Remember that whole thing I talked about, right? And for the first hundred interviews Tucker did that he posted on X, what would Elon do? Retweet and say interesting. Okay?

And that's a massive retweet. Oh, yeah. And Tucker went from having a few million followers. I don't know what he has right now, 15, 16, 17 million followers. Guess what? Great move on Tucker to go there. If you want to get those eyeballs. I don't know how many followers he has.

But if this is a topic, like right now, if you talk to young kids in school, if you go to a regular Christian school right now, you ask them, what are the topics? Like every time I'm around Tom's daughters, or I'm around my kids and we're having dinner with 17.3 million followers, how much of that you think happened because of, you know, Elon doing retweets of interesting, interesting. Brilliant move for no money, but it brought him the right audience and following. Brilliant move. You know exactly what he was doing. Tucker was.

But if we go a little bit deeper, if we go a little bit deeper, in schools today, Christian schools today, next time you're going to dinner and you got a 12-year-old, 10-year-old, 14-year-old, ask them, what do kids talk about in school and see what they'll tell you? If you ask them what kids are talking about school, I'll always ask, what do they say about Trump? What do they say about, you know, Epstein? What did they say about Israel? You would be amazed how many kids say things like, you know what? I don't trust Israel. I don't trust this. Listen, whether you like this or not, that is happening in schools today, young kids.

So what does that mean? Well, that means if you look at it from a few different perspective, one of Iran's biggest strength is division. One of Russia's biggest strength is division, pinning people against each other. One of China's biggest strength is what, division? If these countries wanted to create a infighting in America, what would be the way to do it? This would be the way to do it. And they're succeeding with who? The youth.

So now, is it going to be a JD ticket, 28? That they're all quietly going behind. And if you look at JD's tweets, by the way, I watch JD's tweets very closely. Go to JD's tweets and activity. It's very much of a, you know, what you're supposed to do to seem aligned. Yes. Okay, if you look at the tweets, first one is what? Okay, very presidential, right? Nice pictures, nice photos. We went there to honor the fallen soldiers. Great. That's what a VP is supposed to do. Go a little bit lower, safe. Okay, this is about what? Voter ID. So March 6th, while America is talking about Iran, this guy's tweeting about voter ID, right? On the 6th, the war has started. Go a little bit lower, okay? And here, you know, United States. President Trump will not get the United States until a year's long conflict,

he is giving his opinion. So if you go to 2028 and you say, I was never supportive. If you look at my track record, if you look at this, if you look at that, and if on the inside, Tucker's son, it's like Tico.

Yeah. Tucker's son is working for Vance, best believe behind closed doors. People are positioning themselves for something to happen in 2028, and whatever that is, that's kind of how you got to do it. You have to find a position to say, you know what?

I was with him to here, but I'm not here. Oh, wow. He stood up against, I was all the way here, but I'm not up to here, right? Oh, my God. Look at what he's doing. Kamala did that with Biden. I think we should have handled the border differently. She did that when she wanted to kind of lobby, and you know, Jill couldn't stand her.

Yep. You know, these positioning is happening behind closed doors. So to me, I think when I'm seeing this, you know how I process this? of any this is how I process it I process it as they're sitting and playing this game okay you know what the game is who's who's sitting all the people running for 20 20 that want to be presidents here's what they're saying okay who has the military probably rubio yep okay who has the youth jd i have them yep right who has the rhinos probably rubio who has the technology billioners jad probably jd Who has the churches?

Probably JD. Who has that? That's the game right now. Wow. Just so you know that. This is what's being played right now to see who has it. Who has the Jews? Probably Rubio.

Who has the, they're going back and forward trying. And by the way, you know, I will do one thing and I will go to Israel to be able to get this and da-da-da-da. And then when I get in, that's what is taking place right. So for me, when I see all of this stuff happening, that's part of politics. If you don't like it, don't get into it. and there's a lot of lobbying and, you know, planning going on behind closed doors. And if the enemy wanted to pin the youth against Israel, guess what? You're winning.

Credit to you. And credit to you. And where did that happen? That happened a lot on one platform. What's that one platform? TikTok. No, it's X. It's big time X.

Big time X. X has played a very big role with this. Strategically, if the people on the other side, are like, well, this is not a big deal. Who cares about this? Keep thinking that way. Keep thinking that went and all of a sudden it's too late. And these kids, these kids today that are 15, 16 years old,

how are they going to be in two years? 18, 19. That's right. You don't want to pay attention to them? That's exactly what the opposing side didn't do with Charlie. And they thought, who the hell is Charlie? Charlie's not going to have that kind of power. And then they're like, oh, shit.

Charlie's blown up in TikTok. He's getting 48 million view videos. He's getting 38 million view videos. He's converting the kids. Let's figure something out. here. And then too late, Trump wins. Who does he win? Young man. So they have to know

this is a real issue. They must address my opinion. Adam. Well, I appreciate that list. There's one person that I would add to that list, and that is, who has Trump? Because right now, if Trump had to pick, this is my successor, what are

the odds he would pick Rubio versus Vance? I don't know. But I like what he's saying about Rubio. Also, are you saying? Are you saying that he would only pick Vance? I, I, I, okay. Who have I voted for three terms back to back to back? True.

Okay. But if you remember what I said in November pre, this is the last week pre-election. And I said this over and over again. I said, effectively, the moment Trump wins, no one's going to tarred. They get to realize who the next powerful guy is. I said, Musk and everybody else. gonna say Musk is the king, he's the president, Trump is what, the VP, and how quickly the puppet master, how quickly did that reality, did that that story become a reality?

30 days. Within weeks, if not months, boom, hit everybody. Time, everybody was talking about the puppet master, right? And he says, so again, what did Trump do? Cut him out real quick. I'm not, no, but no one's my puppet master, right? All this stuff happened very, very quickly. Who do you think is the most powerful people in 2028? It's not Trump. Who do you think are the most powerful people in 2028. I still think it's Trump. I don't think so. I still think it's whoever has Trump's blessing will be the most powerful person moving forward. I don't think so. But none of these people are more important than Trump. I think you're being naive. Tell me why. Give me an example. This is coming from a guy that supports him. I hear you. And I think you're being naive. I think if behind

so who is the current Charlie Kirk? Who's the current Charlie Kirk? Who's the current Charlie Kirk that has Who's the current Charlie Kirk that has the pulse and sees the threats and possibilities of what could happen? That is a logical player, not an emotional player. Like for me, I don't hate any of these guys. I don't hate a Tucker. I don't hate a Candace. I don't hate. But a lot of this is emotion-based right now.

A lot of they hate Israel. They hate Jews. It's a lot of hate. Jews are used to this. So I think the Jews were scared for a little while And now they're like, all right, you hate us, good for you. But if you think, if you think behind closed doors, it's going to be Trump that has the most power for 2028.

I think you're making a mistake. Who has more power than Trump? Are you serious? I'm serious. Guy, who, who, right now everyone's kissing, you know, his tail and they're coming to him. What are the most powerful tools in 2028? What are the most powerful tools in 2028? What do you think?

You think people are Googling stuff right now? What do you think they're going to be doing in 2020? Chat TBTing and you don't think who owns Kroc? Who owns perplexity? Who owns Jemadai? Who owns Jemadai? Who owns Twitter? Who owns YouTube? You are delusional if you think Trump's the most powerful guy in 2020.

I'm saying person. No, he's not. So give me a name of who would be more powerful than Trump. It's whoever controls the social media that can create the propaganda to pin Americans against Americans. He doesn't control that and truth social only has MAGA. He has the bully pulpit. You're right that the tech companies,

foreign and domestic, have a major, major voice. But there's only one Trump. And remember this. This is not undermining his... He has the power to pick and say, I'm going to be behind this guy. And a lot of the people are going to go behind him.

But that is assuming Iran goes well. That is assuming economy goes well. Of course. That is assuming that, you know, tariffs go well. That is assuming midterms go well. That is assuming. That's a lot of things to assume. But what we know for a fact, that's not an assumption.

That's a guarantee in 2028. Twitter's a guarantee. YouTube's a guarantee. Perplexity is a guarantee. Palantir's a guarantee. Peter Thiel's a guarantee. J.D. Vance is a guarantee. That's back in a Peter Thiel.

This is all guarantee stuff. We're not talking hypothetical. So to me, you know, you can be a, you can be a what's the big deal like when i see these reports and i go and talk to kids you have to see what they're doing with the kids you have to see what's going on with the kids and by the way the kids that are saying this they're the types of kids that would typically be a they're good christian kids that are saying this is what i'm hearing kids say in school 12 year old kids in school are saying i think the reason for this war is epstein how much analysis

you think they have what do you think the analysis they're just seeing But they're seeing who they look up to say that. And so that is a very, very real thing that's going on today. So may I respond? Of course. So if we're going to kind of cut through the clutter here, you're talking about who has the voice for the young American voter on the right? It's not Rubio. Okay.

I'm not even saying that. Yeah. I'm saying we have to recognize, forget who they are in favor of. Who's our real enemy here? Let's get real here. If you're just American loving patriot, it's the radical left and it's the Islamic terrorists.

And if you think it's anyone other than that, you can have your opinion. But we all know who's shouting Allah Akbar and destroying things. This is not about that, though. Who's taking out, who's shooting Trump? Who's shooting Charlie Kirk? To me, you can get lost in the clutter

and lost in the noise, but who's the actual enemy? But it's not about, you know who the biggest influence are to the youth right now? Who? Gamers. Procasters. No, not podcasters.

Streamers. Gamers. Do you real? These kids are sitting there and they're like, for six hours, they're watching a guy playing. They're saying, you know what? Fuck is a fuck. You know what? Yeah, me too.

Fuck. He's my favorite gamer. That's their, the days of, you know, Walter Crunkai today. Yeah. No. This day, oh my God. Tucker's one of us. And he's, you know, he seemed like,

He does all this. This is not related. And then, yes, what everybody else is trying to be, like Ben Shapiro is trying to be funny, he's not a funny guy. Michael knows it's funny, not Bill Walsh. Matt Walsh is sarcastic and likable. Ben Shapiro's brilliant, not funny.

He's smart. He's brilliant. They're starting to realize, hey, man, we got to win the youth. You can't one day wake up and be a comedian and be funny. So what's the youth going to vote Democrat? Like you see someone like Nick Fuentes? just being saying, I'm done with Trump. I'm encouraging everyone to vote Democrat.

So at the end of the day, this whole brain rot will shuffle its way. You can, you can go. You can, you can. I'm not, all I'm saying is, what good is this doing for your life? This is not about good, touch grass. This is not about good or bad guy. I'm not saying what is better. And I'm not even saying what's a better argument.

I just showed you 50 clips of what Iranian regime will do. to its own people. I just showed you what they will do. At least Jews, Israel, they will defend and protect each other. I just showed you the profile of Iran what they're all about. Of course it's not real. Of course it's not real. What is the average age of somebody that watches this podcast?

Run a poll right now. See, publicly, most podcasters won't do because they're afraid of marketing all this stuff. Run a poll right now, Rob, do me a favor. Run it under 25, 25 to 35, 35 to 45 plus. watch this here's our audience and we're one of the bigger podcasts that are talking about topics like this

reasonable fair today we talked about things the regular news is not going to say about the 167 kids that were the girls that were kids they're not going to talk about that the regular news is not going to show that 45% of youth is

siding with Israel they're not going to talk because they have to stick to a messaging because that's what their audio is supposed to we are a reasonable podcast that will talk about stuff that even makes our argument look bad Can you show me that Paul?

Watch this. Where are we at? 60% under 45. I am surprised. It's only 40% about 45. But look at under 25. 5%. What's 25 to 35?

24%. We're only 29% under 35. These kids are streaming 90% under 30. 90% under 30. You want to play this game? They're playing the wrong game. By the way, I sat with the Kevin Roberts from Tom, I want to come to you because I'm ranting

and I want to stop because I want to hear what you have to say I'm with anything to say. I said with Kevin Roberts from Heritage Foundation. Like, what is the average age of a donor? 64 years old, but we're working on it. You're losing. CPAC. What's the average age of a person going to CPAC?

You're losing. It's the same old people. What's the average age of a person I was going to 20 point USA? They killed the right guy. They killed the right guy. Of course. They killed the right. They know whoever they is.

I want to know who was behind it. They got the exact right guy that they took out. The guy was 31 years old. How old are you, Vinnie? 47. How old are you, Adam? 39 still, sir. I'm 47.

They took out the right guy. And all these guys are sitting around thinking, oh, yeah, it's going to be this. No. There needs to be a real strategy behind closed doors because your argument is not getting the youth. And that's a 10, 20-year vote. lose. Don't get me wrong. We're getting a young male conservative. Young conservative male they're getting. By the way,

that young male conservative, who are they listening to? Who are they listening to? What age? They're listening to what's his name in the? 1718. They're listening to Nick Quintes. They're listening to Byron. They're listening to all these guys. They're listening to gamers. They're listening to streamers. Tom, your thoughts. What I'm saying is, you brought something very, very big up. There is a platform out there

that I have on my red list. And what my red list is, whoever controls this platform has a tremendous amount of control over the youth, Pat. It's Discord. Discord is what they listen to when they're playing games. Discord, they'll be, they want to see, hey, show me about your frag, tell me what you did, some of me with this, and they are listening very carefully. And that is where a lot of these, it's not streamers like Fuentes. Fuentes is there, but if you draw a line at 25 years old, they're not on X like we are. They're not on, good Lord, never been on Fox the way that their aunts, uncles, and grandparents are, they are on Discord. And the streamers and the gameplay and the

things are there, it's there. That's where the fight is being fought. And that is and on college campuses. What did Turning Point do? Debates on college campuses, registering voters on college campuses. Turning Point, Charlie Kirk personally delivered the state of Arizona. We talked to him about the exact numbers when we were in Washington, D.C. for the inauguration. Remember Pat in the hallway? us the exact numbers of votes, but discord. So, Adam, it's not about what's logical. It's not about who's got who's back. It's not about Trump and the voice. That's, that is the, with respect to the influence there, where the youth vote is, they're listening to streamers, and they are on discord as much as people over 30 are on X. This, this is, Adam, the look on your face right

now says it all. That's the look at my face. You know what the look on your face is? The look on your face is the look on your face of, I don't know if I agree, but there are good points being made, and this could be a real threat. The reality of it is, if the conservative movement and the conservative party gets too cocky, this happens every single time, no matter who is the number one, anytime somebody wins, they automatically think they have it unlocked. They do not. By the way, here's the other thing to you. I don't have anything against Erica Kirk. I don't. Erica Kirk and I have spoken

two or three times high by and one time a text exchange. Very cordial, nothing crazy, never had a phone call, never had a conversation. Not going to make friends saying this. I think Turning Point USA needs a

better face. I think Turning Point USA needs a better face. I think she can be chairman of the board, but I don't think she's CEO. I think Turning Point USA needs to aggress go hire a recruiting firm, vet them out by the right voices, a good board, a mixture of people from different conservative side. I don't know who the board is today.

I've never, I don't know who the board is. I can't tell you if they're pro-Israel, pro-Christian, pro-disper, I don't have a clue sitting on the board. But they got to hurry up and find somebody because there's only a couple of these events you can pull where you invite everybody. Then it becomes a show. There's not a face. It's just a show.

If it's just a show, it's another thing. I think, I think there's chairman of the board. There is COO operations that's aligned with them, but they need a person that's going to go out there doing the work. She's not going to go on campuses debating. That's not her job. No. That's not her natural place to be.

She can go to churches and do all the stuff that she's doing great. They truly need to make a decision because TPP USA is a very important arm of the young conservative movement. This has to continue in a very different intentional strategic way. They got to hire a firm, sit down and say, how would you do it if you were us? They got to go through an operation where they look at different candidates and look at what it looks like

and create an element of building up to somebody being there. This is a process that could take 12 to 18 months. This is a 12 to 18 month process that you've got to go through. But I think to me right now, as much as, you know, things are happening and a lot of stuff is going on with Iran behind closed doors, you know, parties are being built. The guys are lobbying. Do we have that guy? Is he on our side?

I don't know if he's who side is he on. call this guy. Let me, it's lobbying going on right now. That's a real thing. Anyways, I want to go to the next story because we stayed. None of what I just said was anywhere on my notes for being able to do this. And what I'm upset at you guys is that you allowed me to say the word, you know, and I'm watching Jake closely. You let me say dismalination, okay? And you guys have the audacity to not correct me instead of saying desalination. And I'm watching Jake over there, almost fell off his back. You're in a zone. Dessalinization.

I'm trying to see if you guys know how to pronounce it. So I'm glad Tom knows. Tom, good job. You know how to pronounce it. You fell for the test that I put on you guys. Reseming that nation. Who creates a world like that? Disalination.

They're going to just say, filter. Right? Filtering plan. Anyways. Next thing you know, you're going to tell me a Jew created that world. Great. Yeah.

There was. All right. All right. While this is going on in Bayram. While this is going on in New York, Momdani. There's this event going on, Rob. If you want to play the clip, I don't know if you have the clip with New York with these two kids.

During a rally, which, by the way, the rally is being done by this fellow name. I want to say his name correctly. Is it Jake Long or Jake Lang? Okay, Jake Lank. Show what he is doing. So they're doing a protest in New York City. Go ahead, Rob. We want everyone here to stay in New York.

You don't get to come from outside and then tell everyone else. That's the bomb? Yeah, drew a bomb. Who threw a bomb? ISIS-inspired. One kid is Turkey, Rob, from 2017-2019, and the other one is from Afghanistan or Iraq? Afghanistan, right?

Two boys do this. Now, can you play the other clip with a different angle? Watch this. In the middle of the protesting, they throw these two bombs. In New York, which, by the way, New York is gradually becoming, it looks more like the Middle East.

East and America. But go ahead, Rob. Watch this. We were pulling in a different angle. He's coming from here. Look behind him. You don't get to come from outside. And then tell us what to do. He's coming.

Allah Allah al-Avah. Al-A-Avah. Through a bomb. Okay. Rob, there's even another clip. There's multiple angles of what happened there. But anyways, while this is taking place, yeah, that one right there on what happens. and then they got arrested.

Do you have the clip of them getting arrested? Yes. So they caught him. They got arrested. This is New York City, guys. This is not Tehran. This is not Karg that Tom's been trying to pronounce 75 different times. He had the same problem I had.

Disalination, right? And he's trying to say, Kark, Kharg. Okay, but this is New York City. So they caught these two boys. Okay. Now, can you go to the news on how they wrote the article on what happened? The one that Vinny sent you with 50 different ones. Oh, yeah.

I slacked you, Rob, on how it's a compilation of how all the mainstream media described what happened in New York. And I sent Rob another one of a Mamdani just spoke. Rob, but keep going on. Is that a new one? So keep going up, Rob, keep going up. Keep going right there, right there. So this is how the media reacts to it. Okay?

Zoom in. Mayor Mamdani was home when processors lit device outside his mansion. Improvized explosive found that protest. near Manhattan Gracie Mansion. Improvise explosive device was thrown during dueling protests. Device thrown, just device, device. Another one said like a liquid something was found. TMZ, suspicious devices outside mayor's residence,

as if they stumbled upon these things. As if they, oh, whoops, we just showed up. And Pat, did you know, and mind you, Mamdani went on yesterday and he just said something recently where he's condemning white surprise. condemning white supremacy. His first thing that he said was condemning white supremacy. Not the ISIS-inspired terrorist.

Read the tweet, Vinny. Yesterday, white supremacist, Jake Lang, organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such a has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city's values and the unity that defies who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use explosive device is,

Wait, he said explosive device. The media didn't say. They would never do that. But let's go to the look at, they said he called him a white supremacist. Mind you, Jake Lang, if I'm not mistaken, Rob, is Jewish. Is Jewish turned Christian? No, Rob, can you look it up for me, fact check? He is.

He is Jewish. Turn Christian. I heard him saying that he's Christ is king and he's Christian. Adam, guess what? He's seen the light and he's a Christian now. I'm telling you right now. He was in jail for four years. He claims in solitary confinement for his role in the Capitol

for January 6th. And that's where he says that he found Christ and moved towards a Christian direction. So now he's Christian. Mind you, and if you don't mind, Pat, I'm not a fan of what he's doing. I'm not a fan of going in there and provoking people, bringing goats and all that type of stuff.

Like, you're asking for problems. That's number one. Put that to the side. But can we just recap for last week? A Muslim man wearing a property of Allah shirt, shot up a bar in Austin, Texas, killing three people and injuring many others. Two Muslims through Maltaf cocktails and a nail bomb at Christians in New York City.

And then a Muslim man claims he was going to bomb a pass on your plane in Nashville to Fort Worth, Fort Lauderdale. They had to freaking have, you know, SWAT come on the airplane and remove him. Not this one, Rob. There was another one. But I just want to point out what's happening. These kids were online inspired by ISIS. They show up. Yeah, Rob, you can play this.

Guys, this has, this was a plane coming to Fort Lauderdale, which is 20 minutes from here. Could you play this, Rob? Can you imagine being on that plane? We're trying to find a guy. You're trying to find the guy? Yeah, because guess what, if your hands are not up and you're not paying attention, meaning you're not listening to them, you're the guy. Dude, I would lose my mind.

And that's it. They're taking them off the plane. And look, if you could tell, there he is. Not blonde hair, not blue-eyed. What did he say? What did he say? I don't know what he said. If it's the same video,

Let me guess. It rhymes with Mala Markbar. Death to America. No, this is a different clip, Rob. This is an older clip. But, Matt, you brought four other suspects were arrested. What was the other clip? That's an older clip.

That's an older clip. Four other people were arrested. Yep. They found another explosive device. And then, Rob, this is Mamdani. And then, Robbie, I'm going to have you show the house of these kids. Go ahead, Rob. We're home at the time.

This was a vile protest rooted in white, supremacy, not it'll stop the Islamic takeover of New York City. I'm the first Muslim mayor of our city. Anti-Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me, nor is it anything new for the one million or so Muslim New Yorkers who know this city as our home. While I found this protest appalling, I will not waver in my belief that it should be allowed to happen. Ours is a free society where the right to peaceful protest is sacred.

It does not belong only to those we agree with. It belongs to everyone. I will defend that right every day that I am mayor, even when those protesting say things that I abhor. Let me also be clear about something else. New York City will never tolerate violence, whether from protests or counter-protests. Many of the counter-protesters met this display of bigotry peacefully

with a vision of a city that is welcoming to all. But a few did not. She's good. Two men, Amir Balat and Ibrahim Kuyumi, traveled from Pennsylvania and attempted to bring violence to New York City. They are suspected of coming here to commit an act of terrorism. There is video of these two individuals throwing two devices towards the protest. The police department has determined that these were improvised explosive devices

made to injure, maim, or worse. Thanks to the swift and decisive actions of NYPD officers at the scene, both men were immediately taken into custody and the devices they brought. taken off of our streets. I want to commend the officers who were on site. You know, out of all of this, Pat, the big thing that really, really pisses me off, besides him and his rhetoric,

and he's obviously blaming white supremacy, not the kids, is these kids, 18 and 19 years old, they just threw their entire lives away. They're going to be sitting and they sell for the rest of their lives because they were brainwashed online to think that throwing bombs and killing innocent people is the way to do it for your Allah,

for your God, your God, which condones violence of that nature because you're going to be rewarded in heaven. And this is the house. This is the house that these, this ISIS-freaking inspired terrorist lives in. Like, by the way, Rob, where was his parents from? One from Turkey, one from other than Afghanistan.

And what were they? They were naturalized? Yes. One was naturalized in 2004, the other 2017. I don't know what the father's doing, Pat. I don't know how good of a naturalized citizen, whatever job that they have. But like, I'm telling you right now, the more these, it's the ideology, and I just hope that he finds on in jail, it's not going to come through Muhammad or Islam.

It's going to come through Jesus Christ. I hope and I pray that he finds Christ in there while he's going to, because it's going to be horrible in there by yourself. Because by the way, terrorists aren't treated like everybody else is in prison time. What is this here? This is a great clip I found. This was a woman that's warning every. everybody what Mamdani is and how what happened with Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran is exactly the

rhetoric that Mamdani did go out Rob play this ruin like that right now I tell them we picked our Mamdani not me a lot of people picked their Mamdani forty seven years ago in Iran which was Khomeini at that time if you watch the if you just listen to what Mamdaani said in New York it's verbatim what Khomeini said 47 years ago in the Islamis lefty committee at that time. And people got fooled because it was at the end of 70s and they just wanted to be hippies and free. And that's how it looked like at that time for Iran.

So they picked the Khomeini that was supposed to just come and help people have free everything and give the oil money to... How could you say no to free everything? Free investment. Free investment. of that and you watch watch what he says you listen to Mamdani trashes are seven feet high in New York he just became mayor but his priorities are to Prophet Muhammad to Hedra he brought Medina all of these 1,400 years ago what happened with their

profit by the way did you see what happened with Mamdani's wife and how he was liking posts that were pro-October 7th. She just like, she liked posts that had to do with this as well, and it's like, like the guy's not hiding. He's not hiding. Is this him addressing his wife, Ron? Yes, sir. Go ahead. You should have a chance, I think, to respond to this.

This is an off-topic question. I'd like to know what your reaction was to the article in the Jewish insider that was posted about your wife's social media activity. And what I'm wondering is, you know, you're an elected official. She is not. Is it anybody's business and is it fair to question you about it?

You know, my wife is the love of my life, and she's also a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my city hall. I, however, was elected to represent all eight and a half million people in the city, and I believe that it's my responsibility because of that role to answer any questions about my thoughts and my policies and my decisions. And by the way, that article is out there, and I'm looking at it right now. everything's about free Palestine and she's liking all the posts and her name her name is right there uh Ramah duwaji and think about it these ISIS guys by you

this not to cut you off Adam I'm sorry these ISIS kids were radicalized and mind you they're throwing bombs outside of the mansion like where he's staying like you're doing jihad terrorists outside of your Muslim mayor's house where do you get that

this is the playbook we've seen it before remember it was a radical clerics north of London that radicalize those young men, some of whom were planted the bombs, the subway bombing, the coordinated subway bombing, and several of them died, suicide vests. You don't find the radical clerics wearing the suicide vest. Let me show you how this works. Yeah, exactly. You know, that's not what you find. You find them radicalizing tools, and they are brainwashing these kids, radicalizing them, and then using them as soldiers in their war. And that's it. Do you think, wait, I'll give you an example when Bush, when W was president, right?

And the first lady is out talking about education. Do you remember she's not elected? She's not elected. They most certainly have opinions on this. But if it's a liberal and it's Mandami, oh, it's just his wife. And he answered the question. That's the part that galls me is. is that this is a free pass for one side,

but would be hypercritical on the other side. But Tom, like, aren't you, are you at all shocked that besides New York bringing a Muslim, a mayor, that besides all the stuff that he's doing, meeting with all those people that were coal conspirator, whatever, praying, all the taking over Times Square, then you have ISIS terrorist-inspired kids coming to New York from Pennsylvania and literally throwing bombs in front of his freaking mansion. Am I upset? Yes.

Am I angry? Yes. Am I frustrated? Yes. Am I surprised? No. This is their playbook, and it's also the playbook of the mainstream media. We're seeing both playbooks come right together, take down America, impact the American social fabric, and move toward globalism and socialism with promises that you'll make the trains run on time. Oh, wait, I'm sorry.

That was Mussolini. Adam. This is how much I'm reacting. zero because all this is expected you mean to tell me that a communist progressive who's a Islamist and is a gaze for Gaza supporting free Palestine indoctrinated mayor of new York his wife has the exact same feelings if not worse no way oh my god nobody shocked we all expected this he was sworn in on the Quran a couple weeks ago he was at a mosque talking about doing a prayer, killing the infidel and slit their throats where you find them.

None of this is shocking to me. You know, we're in the war with Iran right now. And if you go back to 1979, the Revolution, the Red, Green Alliance, you talk about the college kids, the useful idiots, the youth who don't know what the hell they're doing or talking about, teamed up with the Islamists. And what happened there, they helped them get into power. And the Islamists killed all the progressive youth. It's the same thing that's happening here. So in my opinion, this, New York, God bless you. It was nice knowing you.

L.A., if your city hasn't burnt down yet, get ready for the future when Karen Bass is reelected, or Gavin Newsom's your future president, God forbid. We see the writing on the wall with London. We see what's going on in Paris, Stan, and London Stan. We see what's happening. So come to Florida, move to Texas, move to Tennessee, move to Nashville, move to Nevada. There's other states with reasonable people. that are not psychopaths.

We see what's going on in Minnesota. God bless the Somali pirates that go on there. We see what's happening. So you can either do something about it, or you can live in Little Mogadisha, Minnesota, or Little Gaza in New York City. Good luck out there, guys. Yeah, but real quick, let's give a shout out to folks in Kenya

because I know they're devastated and annoyed about what happened. Furious. Recently, it was the L.A. Marathon. I don't want to go to everybody on this. I'm just going to go to Vini on this. L.A. Marathon, that's taking place. Rob, can you go back so I can read the description column put?

So New American Nathan Martin wins the closest L.A. Marathon Race in history, beating Kenya Michael Kimani-Kamau by just 0.01 seconds. And he said, I made an actual move five miles out when I saw no one else was picking up the pace. I decided I needed to push the 36-year-old say, at a mile and a half to go, I could see the leader with 800 meters to go and I was thinking I'm catching him. Martin finished the race at two hours, 11 minutes, 16 and a half seconds, and here's how the race ended. Go ahead, Vinnie.

He's making his move. That's the Kenyan. Here he comes. He has no idea. Look at him. Look at him. Go, baby. Cross the line here.

Michael Kamau from Kenya. He has no clue about it. They're thinking they're cheering for him. And right now he's fading. Look at this. America. America. Way. 0.01.

That he fell? The closest finish ever. And then watch this. As he's taking his break, as he's taking his break, L.A. Marathon. Substitute teacher. Where's my flag at? Yeah, I did it.

Yeah. Good for you, buddy. There we go. I mean, Pat, I'm just curious. When's like, if you guys think about it, like these, they're running for their freaking country. And they get like, I think, what, Rob, $40,000, $20,000? I don't know the last time

a non. It's a salary of a substitute teacher. So he got paid in two hours, but he gets paid annually as a substitute teacher. But how amazing like that? That's the never giving up and just keep pushing. Wait, $6,000 to $10,000. And then I'm pretty sure with all the bonuses and everything. I don't even remember when's the last time

a non? Look, shout out to Nathan Martin. Good for you, buddy. Congrats. He's based out of Ware I'm. I want to say Michigan. Yeah, I believe we tracked him to Michigan. Duluth, Michigan, something like that? Let me tell you right now. Okay, well, anyways, congratulations to him.

Let me go to a last story here before we wrap up, which is kind of weird, folks. This one's weird. And Vinnie, I'm coming to you with this one. And then Tom, to you next. Epstein Prison Guard Googled him minutes before body found and made mysterious deposits before pedophile suicide DOJ. Okay, so check this out.

This is a little bit sus here, but let me read it to you. So one of Jeffrey Epson's prison guards Googled the sex predator minutes before he was found dead. This is a New York Post story and also made a mysterious $5,000 cash deposit 10 days before the predators jail cell suicide, new Department of Justice documents reveal Tova Noah was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center

workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his August 10th, 2019 suicide. the guards were fired, but criminal charges against both were later dropped. Noel, Google latest on Epstein and Jill at 5.42 a.m. And then again at 5.52 a.m. less than 40 minutes before her colleague, correctional officer Michael Thomas found the disgraced financier dead in his cell by hanging at 6.30 a.m. According to an FBI record of Noll's internet search history that night,

earlier that she had no, shop for furniture online and snoozed on the job instead of making the mandate of checks on EPSC in every 30 minutes. While Thomas pursued motorcycle prosecutor said the FBI highlighted the URI Internet search in its 66-page forensic examination of the Bureau of Prison Desktop, Computers of Noel and Thomas. It was the only search highlighted. Meanwhile, Chase Bank flagged cash deposits in Noel's bank account in a suspicious activity report to the FBI on November 19th. Another DOJ file revealed a toll of 12 deposits began from April 2018. The bank said in culminating the largest deposit.

for $5,000 on July 30th, 2019. Vinnie. Okay, I'm actually so happy that we chose this story to be on because I saw this Google trend where because of the Iran War Pat, it was search. Epstein was number one, number one, number one, and then it dropped off. But then, because there you go for X and I absolutely love Elon buying it, these type of stories keep coming up. So with all these deposits, $11,000, $5,000, somebody online was like,

yeah, well, maybe her job is good. You're not getting paid that much money in this many times. And what bothers me is the Department of Justice never questioned her about the money. You would think, Tom, when investigation of this magnitude with all the stuff that he's connected to,

you would ask about the money, okay? And then the prison video showed that that night, investigators described a strange orange flash moving towards Epstein's tear at around 10.39 p.m. The FBI later suggested it was her carrying inmate linen, which would have been outside her normal prison

protocol. So that was false. And then she had also been accused of falsifying prison records related to that night. Those charges, Pat, were later dropped. Weird. And then after leaving the prison, she was later sued at a job for, guess what? Alleged assault. That's her, okay? So Epstein had no cellmate that night.

The guards failed to perform their routine checks. That's her? That's her. The noose photographed in the cell was reportedly not the one used, according to the inspector General. Think about that. The noose that he hanged himself with, that's the proper verb, which is not hung, hanged himself with was not the right one. That's the Inspector General. Okay, and his neck injuries were said to be more consistent with a thin cord. Long story short, here's the bottom line. Either Jeffrey Epstein escaped from prison that night or he was murdered.

Period. End of story. Let's just full stop. Okay, enough of the games, all right? You have the guard Googling Epstein minutes before he's dead. The cash deposits from her. missing checks, 30 seconds that our Department of Justice edited and tried to act like we're dumb like we were going to figure it out. Okay, shredding documents, and this keeps happening. Guys, this keeps freaking happening. And I saw one more thing, Pat, that kind of tied this all together. Rob, I sent you this thing on Slack about Jeffrey. Right there.

Click on this. This is, Pat. Rob, can you go back to the actual tweet. What's the tweet say? Sorry. So this is Epstein trained as a spy under the FBI. And I'm going to read this path. You don't mind.

Go forward. This is, I triple check. This is an actual document. A confidential human source. By the other, these are people that they trust to get them information that are inside. So this confidential human search was asked by the handling agent about information he or she may be aware of related to improper domestic. That's us, CIA, and foreign influence Mossad over the electoral process of. of the US. CHS already provided some of his information documented in previous reports.

Now let me go below. Ready? Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, the confidential human source, learned that Dershowitz influenced many students from wealthy families, for example, Josh Kushner and Jared Kushner were both his students. Dershow was told the confidential human source that if he were young again, he would be holding a stun gun as an Israeli intelligence Mossad agent. The confidential human source believed Dershowitz was was co-opted by Mossad and subscribed to their mission.

The human source continues to communicate occasionally for Dershowitz. And then look at the bottom. Jeffrey Epstein was represented by Dershowitz. And this person remembered Dershowitz tell Alex Acosta, the Attorney General from Florida, that Epstein belonged to both U.S. and Allied intelligence services. They also said that he shared phone calls between Epstein, which here took notes after the calls, Mossad would then call Dershowitz to debrief. If Epstein was close to the former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, and trained as a spy under him.

But this is all coming from the confidential human source, which they verify. And Barack believes Netanyahu was a criminal. Saudi Arabia, Israel, the United States, Emirates are allied against Qatar, Turkey, Iran, and Syria. One of the confidential human sources, blank, who worked for blank, asked a lot of questions about Epstein and became convinced that Epstein was a co-opted Mossad agent. And co-opted means us and them. The amount of stuff that I'm, Pat, and mind you, the war is the war. But the amount of stuff reliefs.

I saw a bunch of new stuff about Jess Daly and his communications with Epstein and stuff. It's mind-boggling. And every time, like, this is huge. This is huge. And then something else happens and everybody kind of goes the other way. But there is so much to be uncovered. I hate, I hate Pat. None of this has to do with girls.

None of this has to do with underage women. But they block everybody's name out. Why? Tom. Well, I think we all. know what we know. And you can very reasonably conclude, as I concluded long ago, regardless of whether Epstein was a spy or not. He was part of some horrifying things that were going on and connecting himself with some very, very influential and powerful people around the world.

Full stop, done. Second, the circumstances of his desk are worth than JFK. You have all the stuff. So was this woman? Now we find real money from Chase, not speculation. Yep. Real money from Chase. They actually had a file and charges against her that they later dropped after their investigation. And now you've got all of these things. One of three things is true. Epstein knew that he was going to get killed because he's now caught and he's going to be leaking information and he hung himself. Unlikely. But it is possible. Second, somebody came in and hung him for him. or the even far-stretched is that somebody let him out. And he's in Belize or some other far-off place, you know.

Which, by the way, Rob ran a poll, and here's what the poll says right now with 3,000 votes. Who killed, did Jeffrey Epson kill himself? The answer, yes, 7%. That's all. No, he was murdered, 52%. Wow. He's alive, 41%. And you know what?

So 93% doesn't believe he killed himself. And good for them. so proud of them because it's right in our faces. Pat, there's no, there's no excuse for the Department of Justice to edit a video and put it out and lie to us unless you're trying to cover it up. And we know who he worked for. You know he worked for the CIA. You know he worked for the CIA.

You know he worked for Mossad and combined. And it's, it should bother everybody to their core. I'm not dismissing that. No, I know you're not. That bothers the hell out of me. I know, I know you are. That if he was really Mossad or an agent on both side, that he's around all these influential people, influencing everything from stock prices to political decisions.

I mean, that's horrible. My point simply is just looking at the execution. Let's leave out Kennedy in the Bay of Pigs and all the Merrill Monroe and all that stuff. Let's look at the Kennedy assassination and look at all the things are wrong, all the things we've discovered lately. That's what I mean. We got the same number of things here. And it's like, that wallpaper Jeffrey Epstein, what do they have in common? They didn't hang themselves.

Yeah. And it just, it's just bothersome. I know you want to close with it. But what bothers me is, and a lot of people go, ah, it's not that big of, it's not that important. It's extremely important. Because if you work for these agencies, all that footage, all the stuff that we can't see,

all the documents, all the recordings, all the videos, we can't see it. Those agencies have control over people that were on those tapes and did these things to these underage girls. That really bothers me. That bothers me. Because then when you see emails about pandemic planning, then you see them asking Galee,

well, what the hell does she know about a shadow commission on 9-11? What the hell should she be involved with anything that has to do with 9-11? So when you break it down like that, Adam, when I come down to the children, it's not a big deal because there's a war, no, no. It's a huge deal. It's a huge deal because they were using underage girls getting, you know, the R-word and sexually assaulted to get political power in game. Because why else would he have these relationships with Ehud Barak and all these people?

To me, that's the deeper horror. did the Mossad and U.S. intelligence, if he was a mutual agent? I think he was. Did they go along with the fact that he was using young kids to corner people? That's the problem. And to me, if that's the net, net, net that comes out of it, that is the greatest disgust. It is, it is. Right.

And by the way, as this was going on, like when you hear a story like this and all the people that are sitting down the sidelines that don't look, nothing going on, nothing happened with us, not them. Now you have to sit there and say, oh, my God, you got to be kidding me. And this is not going to stop. I actually don't think this is going to away. I think the more and more stuff that they release, these types of stories we're going to keep hearing about. By the way, while we're doing this, you know what just came out? The president just tweeted.

Rob, you want to go to this? President Trump just tweeted, Australia is making a terrible. This is from the White House. Go to White House's Twitter account. Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran national woman soccer team to be forced back to Iran

where they will most likely be killed. People, don't do it, Mr. Prime Minister. Give asylum. The U.S. will take them if you won't. That's what makes President Trump, President Trump. Good for him. Because five of them, the defective, Pat, five of them said, hey, we're staying here. We're not going home.

Five of them are done. But there's still at least 15 of them. That's freaking crazy, bro. Because Australia, I'm going out of Australia is saying, go leave, get them out of here. Yeah, I'm not a fan of that. That sucks. Yeah, but, I mean, again, this is the part that why the world really. reacts to this. Now, let's see how Australia is going to react to this. What is Australia going to do about

this? Most likely, they're going to listen to them and have to keep them, but if they don't, come to U.S., these are the moments when you hear the phrase asylum, like why give asylum? It's not Tony Montana. It's situations like this. Yes. Why you give asylum? This is not a political refugee, right? This is a real situation that's going on, that the president's doing Adam. You look like you want to say something. No, just let me know when we figure out the Epstein situation. I'm waited with baited breath. Are we getting closer? Do we figured it out yet? I'm not even being sarcastic. It's not, it's not. Are we getting closer?

No, I don't know. It's not as it we're closer. No, this is like JFK. Guys, guys, we're going to talk about this 20 years from now. This is, this is like JFK. The longer it goes, more things are going to pop out. Something will be unredacted and come out. And, you know, there you have it. I will. And you know what? It's never going to be done because they control everything. But you know, I do love people like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton having to be subpoenaed. and the fact that they hate it, that they still have to do it, that's what I want. Can I show you guys what Bill Maher did to Adam Schiff that you showed me a few days ago?

Love it. If you haven't seen this, folks, you have to see this, just to finish the podcast on an exciting note. And if you like this clip lot to the 51 percenters who haven't yet subscribe, we need you to subscribe to the podcast if you like this clip that much. Go ahead, Rob, play the clip. This statement from the administration, the president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest. That's too vague for you? Totally vague. Okay, because that's from Obama about Libya. Well, Obama made the argument initially that he could go into Syria without an authorization. I and many

others pushed back on that argument. Ultimately, he did not go forward with going after Assad, even though Assad was gassing his own people, because he thought he might lose the vote in Congress. But I respect the fact that that was important to him and the fact that he did not have the support of Congress meant that we weren't going to go forward. We are unquestionably at war now. The founders made an extraordinary decision at the time, which was not to give that power to the president,

but to give it to the Congress, because they were, I think, as Hamilton said, that a president would grow too fond of making war. After Venezuela, after the earlier Iran conflict, after bombing Nigeria and Iraq and Syria. Not a war. He's grown too fond of this. And Congress, Doniz, you're saying,

needs to step up, assert its role, or it's going to be gone for good. And then any time of president, for any reason, how do you react to the world for any length of time? The fact that he has Adam Schiff, I love that Bill Maher is pushing back, but he has Don Lemon and Adam Schiff.

You know what they're going to say. You know they have to stay. on message. I don't, I don't, I don't respect. Anybody that has Don Lemon on anything, you lose respect for me. Don't look scared. Like Adam Schiff's going to take him back to hotels. I don't know about that. You know, to me, we've had some crazy people on. You know, when people said, I can't believe you're going to have Anthony Wiener on. But to me, you know, the fact that he is having that question asked in the way that he did to say automatically, boom, and no, that was Obama. And then he has to explain himself. And a similar thing is going to

out right now with the president. You know, it makes, it makes hypocrisy. He is making a hypocrite out of all of these guys with the stuff that they're saying. I think Bill Maher is in his, uh, great, how old is Bill Moore now? 72. Okay. So, I mean, I think, 71. Yeah. What is he? 70. 70 years old, just turned 70. Yep. One of the more necessary voices, he's still a liberal, but a reasonable liberal. He calls out the far left. He calls out the MAGA, right? I think that's fine. He's beefing with with Trump right now. Trump just went on some tirade about him. If you saw the thing, I watch his show. I respect him. He's a pretty selfish dude. I wish he was a little bit more selfless. People around us are working on that. But he's a necessary voice. He calls balls and

strikes. And good for him. You say bank. Great having you guys on today on Monday. Rob, what do we got next? Scott Galloway, tomorrow morning. Scott Galloway. Oh, wow. Professor Scott Galloway tomorrow morning. And by the way, that should be a very, very good conversation. Stay tuned. Tomorrow, Professor Scott Gallowin, and we'll do it again on Wednesday. Take care everybody. God bless. Bye-bye, bye-bye.
