Starting point is 00:00:00 Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweet bit of three. I know this life meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever size. Right here. You are a 101?
Starting point is 00:00:18 My son's right there. I think I've ever said this before. What a million time, Adam told you, 20 times turn off. Can you just grab the phone from him? Tom. Done. No, no. I'm going to ask you one time.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Put your phone over there, please. Can somebody grab Tom's phone and put it over there, please? Every podcast I have to ask you. And Adam just ask you right now. We're live. Please give the phone to Mikhail and put it over there. Thank you, Mikhail. Okay.
Starting point is 00:00:53 All right. Let's get right into it. We still love you, though. Every time podcast. I told him two seconds before the podcast. Turn your phone on silent. He goes, I got you. Death toll in Iran, 1200 to 1,600, 6 confirmed in U.S.
Starting point is 00:01:05 it's not getting any nothing is slowing down there was a lot of big interviews done yesterday on claims they were saying what are you going to do if U.S. attacks you know we are looking forward to it we're going to play some of these clips of what happens there and then the Kurds getting involved the rumors of its U.S. giving them weapons no Israel may we are not are there's a clip and there's a history of you know Kurds and the IRGC they're not fans of them
Starting point is 00:01:35 They're probably more pro-American than anything else. And them getting involved is probably not a good look for Iran right now. And then you got the Lebanon stuff that's going on at the same time. And gas prices, Rob, can you do me in favor and run a poll to see how much have gas prices in the last week gone up in your area? First one put $0.25 to $0.50, put $0.25 to $0.50 to $0.75 to $0.75 to $0.75 to $0.00. Let's see what comes up. Or 75 cents plus. Run the poll.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I'm curious how it's doing to you. I know, Rob, you experienced something this morning. Let's see what the market's going to be saying about this. And then aside from that, we have a few other things that's going on with what the possibilities of Iran could do with Strait of Hormuz. It looks like there's still no movement going on there till today. We'll talk about what the gas. Oil prices are right now, Tom. I'm sure you have the numbers.
Starting point is 00:02:29 And we'll get the latest there. And then stories coming out with Anthropic, talking about. the fact that the AI, the guy didn't want to address the fact that it may be sentient, 30% AI is sentient like it's a living mechanism, like it has a certain things for itself. And that's concerning and the government's getting involved. And then Christy Noem, who was just on a podcast, what was it, a week and a half ago, two weeks I don't know what it was, something like that. And next thing, you know, stories came out.
Starting point is 00:02:59 There was the hearing. And then right after the hearing, you know, she, no long, has the job that she had. It may be a different job that they announced. I think they even announced what that job could be an envoy. And aside from that, we have a bunch of other things that we need to get to. Who the replacement's going to be? Who is Mark Wayne Mullen?
Starting point is 00:03:19 I see a lot of headlines saying, hot-headed Mark Wayne Mullen is replacing Christine Ome. Do you want this person who wanted to pick a fight with Sean O'Brien, the former Teamster, the current Teamster president, whom we've had on a podcast. A lot of those stories are circulating. But aside from that, Michelle Obama said it claims no way Trump's administration behavior could be acceptable from the first black family in the White House. And Vinny's got some thoughts on that. Wait, she's playing victim? That sounds like victim.
Starting point is 00:03:55 It's not common, but every once in a while. It's so weird. Besson says they're raising the global tariff race to 15%. this week Spain categorically denies White House claim it will cooperate on Iran war Trump was telling me that we're talking about what was it Tom a plane was a you're not flying over our airspace with armed weapons nothing they're not supporting we're not going to be part of this you're not using our airspace
Starting point is 00:04:21 no to war Spain PM hits back at Trump threat to cut you know trade over air base dispute I remember when they were talking about what's going to happen with the tariffs are they going to give the money back or not, how soon, and it's going to be in lawsuits for two, three, four, five years? Well, here's a Wall Street Journal story for you. Judge orders government to begin refunding more than $130 billion in tariffs, and that's that. Laser weapons deployed in Operation Epic Fury as Space Force stops Iran's missiles in their tracks. What's this laser weapons? Why are people talking about this? Trump's got thought 74 retired U.S. generals, admiral's,
Starting point is 00:05:00 back Iran strikes, warned Tehran seeks to spill American blood. And then aside from that, we got a few other things that we'll get into if we have time. Newsom was on the, what is that, Jimmy Kimmel show, I believe if I'm not mistaken. And on the Jimmy Kimmel show, you know, he asked them questions about why does it take so long to get permits to build a house? Nancy Mays called out everybody. And in a part of the callout, this is kind of weird. And a lot of people are talking about this. It's worth talking about.
Starting point is 00:05:33 House kills effort to release all congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports. It's pretty wild, Vinny. Including settlements paid with taxpayer dollars. That's intense. Of course, we're going to talk about that. And I know Adam's got a lot of, you know, to say about that and defending. So we'll see. And then Azerbaijan Furious with Iran as war spills over its border.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Having said that, gang, you guys heard, I think there's a massive leadership taking place at the Trump Doral. Trump even yesterday said, hey, go to Trump Doral, go to Trump Doral. And guess what? We're holding our annual sales leadership summit that we do once a year at the Trump Doral, March 25th through the 27th. If you're somebody that runs a business a million dollars or higher and you got five salespeople, this may be the right event for you. When you want to watch this video, go ahead, Rob. There are three different types of sales leaders I've worked with the last 20 years. One of them are those that are a boss that are telling you what to do.
Starting point is 00:06:34 One of them is the one that wants to be a friend. He wants to say, hey, Johnny, let me help you get to this next level. And then the other one is the leader, the leader that's sitting down with you, accountable, challenge, pushing you. You can do more expectation, business planning. Each one of them has pros and blind spots. Once year I host an event called the Sales Leadership Summit. This year, we're doing it at the beautiful Trump throughout March 25th through to 27th,
Starting point is 00:06:56 where we talk about topics like this, 200 plus pages and a manual where people from around the world, you have to do a minimum of a million dollars a year and five salespeople to qualify to attend this. So if you're someone that's watching and saying, I think I'm like a boss, I think I'm like a friend, I think I'm a leader. I want to find my blind spots. Click on a link below, fill out the information. One of our consultants will get a hold of you. Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Click on a link below or go to that QR code. We talk about a lot of different things, 200 page manual on how we took a business from zero to 60,000 agents and eventually sold it for $250 million. if you're somebody that's running a business, sales team, and you want to find strategies to accelerate your growth, going into 2027, do not miss sales leadership summit. With that being said, let's get right into it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:39 So, Iran, with everything that's taking place right now with Iran, Rob, I believe if I'm not mistaken, it is an interview that's taken, oh, by the way, this is a gas poll that you ran. Okay, let's talk about the poll first. How much have gas prices in the area increased? Can you go back to it, please? None, 20%.
Starting point is 00:08:01 So that's a fifth. 25 to 50 cents, 49%. 50 cents to 75 cents, 18%. 75 cents plus 13%, which is one out of six. So, Rob, how much was gas prices for you when you filled it up this morning? It's around 350 in my area, but that's up from last weekend. Last Friday it was about 270. From 270 to 3.50 with gas prices.
Starting point is 00:08:28 What is crude oil price right now, Tom? What is it looking like right now? I think West Texas Intermediate opened this morning at 72. Will you do that? Just WTI price? Oh, 87? Up $6 today. Tom, what's the ideal price for?
Starting point is 00:08:44 By the way, did you just hear Tom's reaction? No, no. Did you? Tom meant to say 82, not 72. Okay? Yes. Tom, can I, is that okay? Fair to say?
Starting point is 00:08:53 So Tom, meant to say 82, and it's 87. Okay, it's 87. Going up. Going up. Six bucks today. So, Tom, if this is six bucks today and you're seeing, let's talk purely brass tax, how the individual is going to be impacted by this, whether you're like Adam, you don't drive and you take Uber's, or if you're somebody that drives and you pay for gas, if it's
Starting point is 00:09:15 going to 87, how quickly is the speed of the market feeling the pain of gas prices? Well, the straight-to-hor moves are there. So every time there's a short. shortage and a shortage creates prices to go up. Also, when demand goes up, and right now there's more demand for the U.S. oil because we're pumping and it's available. We've increased the output for Venezuela over the past four weeks, 2x from when we took out Maduro. So 2X oil is coming out of Venezuela. Remember, they would sneak the oil out. It was like embargo oil. Now it's open oil. The pipes are open from the valley, and that's 2x. So we're pumping and we have it available,
Starting point is 00:09:50 but there's demand for it because the Straits and Hormuz of Closed. Take a look at that. That chart is the Iraq War. Take a look at Pat. See the first jump there? Yeah, is the Iran War. So click on, if you would. Can we go five years?
Starting point is 00:10:05 Five days? Just five days. Five years. Okay, there you go. The war starts. And Pat, take a look at that. It gently goes up. And now look what happens on March 5th.
Starting point is 00:10:16 The war escalates. See there? March 5th, the war escalates. Yeah. So it was hanging tough until the war started escalating, and now the Straits of Hormuz have been closed for a couple days, and that's putting pressure, you know, on China. So this is demand-related. The U.S. is fine. We have plenty. We're not going to have shortages at the pump, but the demand for what we're pumping is up. So guess what? The price goes up.
Starting point is 00:10:40 And Rob, do you mind going to five years or even go to max? Tom, correct me if I'm wrong. They want to keep the oil, bear of oil around 70 bucks. Is that sort of... 65? Yes, that's correct. 65 in the U.S., you make a profit and you can afford to extract shale. Okay, so if you look at this,
Starting point is 00:10:58 and Pat, you're the numbers guy. It basically fell below market average in 2020. Nobody was moving, right? It went down to almost $20 a barrel. They couldn't even get it away. But historically, if you're looking, if you want to go back 10 years when Trump took office, oil was around $40.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Is that right? Yep. I remember that and that was also the Saudi market manipulation trying to keep the price low to hurt Alberta oil sands and North Dakota shale because those are alternative drills that were working. And then Tom, walk me through this. 2022 it spikes under Biden because we weren't pumping as much oil. How does this affect America? What happened in the middle of 2022? We slowly opened after COVID.
Starting point is 00:11:42 But what had Biden done trying to keep the price down? He emptied the SPR, the strategic. controlium reserve. And so suddenly the demand shoots way up. So that's Biden's, by the way, that's also Biden inflation and just poor executive management from the Department of Energy. That didn't have to happen after COVID. So Tom, walk me through this, even though there's been a major spike in the last five days with the Iran war, it pales in comparison to what happened a few years ago. Yeah, the spike is that little tiny thing at the end. You can put the, you see, since Trump was elected, what's been happening? A gentle
Starting point is 00:12:17 slide back to, so he gets a little to go to November, November 24. There you go, keep going, see? Yeah. So the guy we should be asking is Vinny, who's got a massive truck. Oh, let me explain some to you. People that are like, hey, come to Miami. I'm not coming to Miami. I'm not hanging out with you at all. What do you mean people? You mean, yeah. By the way,
Starting point is 00:12:35 just so you know, here's what you need to know. Not last Friday, but when did war start? It's been what now. Today's six days. Last Friday It was around $67, $70 to now be at where it's at. So you're talking, you know, $20, 17 to $20 up, which is direct impact. People are filling it. And how much of that's going to translate here?
Starting point is 00:12:55 Trump's going to have to control this. But if straight of Hormuz, if nothing's leaving there, and China's sitting around knowing 80% they're oil, they're relying there. Tom, how much longer can China sit around without coming out and saying, hey, we kind of need to protect ourselves with Iran? because the oil would rely on. How long can he go? China's going to need oil in 21 days.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I was reading that 21 days, they will start to feel it. It won't be catastrophic. But within 21 days, they're really going to start to feel it. So I'd like to know this. Iran is closing the strait of Hormuz. If we control the skies, which we do. I was just going to say, and we have basically impacted a tremendous amount of their Navy, what exactly is keeping the straight of Hormuz?
Starting point is 00:13:40 Because that's where China's going to get their oil. Or are we on the backside willing to say, okay, I'm sorry, the straits closed, and because that's going to put pressure on China. Yeah, if you look at this chart that Rob just pulled up, Iran and Venezuela's export most of their crude oil to China. Right. Share of Iran and Venezuela's crude oil export that go to China. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:14:01 87% of Iran and 55% of Venezuela. Bingo. And if you control both of them now and China no longer has control of Panama Canal because of what happened with Panama. C.K. Hutchinson. Oh, yeah, Panama's Supreme Court. Panama Supreme Court comes out and says, no, we're not doing it. Listen, you don't have any more authority over this. These two ports are ours. If you think these guys, when they say they're playing, you know, chess and their grandmasters, if you think that, you lock in Panama
Starting point is 00:14:32 Canal first, so China can't play that as a weapon. You lock in Venezuela next. Then you go after Iran. Now China's sitting around saying, well, what, how can we create pain for U.S.? How can we create painful U.S. to do anything? Strategically, it's actually very interesting when you think about the sequencing of what's been done. Well, we're coming into summer. Maybe they could embargo the knockoff Calloway drivers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Well, that would be catastrophic for guys like you. Calistrophic. Can I speculate on something? Yeah, go for it. So, oil. Trump's been saying he's going to do two things. You know, we talk about the 20-point plan that he was going to do. Yep.
Starting point is 00:15:12 At the top of the list, he was going to shut down the border, and he's going to drill baby drill. Did he not say those two things? Yes. What if this were all a part of Trump's plan? Shut down the border, drill baby drill. Let's go through here. We just learned that China, which is our number one combatant,
Starting point is 00:15:32 you want to say that. There are enemy. They get what percentage of their oil from Venezuela and Iran? The vast majority of it. Drill Baby drill, taken down China. Now let's pan out a little bit. A year ago when Syria
Starting point is 00:15:48 was about to fall, Syria, Bashar al-Assad calls his boys. Vladimir, what's up, man? Nyethe can't help you. A buddy of mine did a great breakdown of this. Can't help him because he's embroiled in a war in Ukraine. Bingo. Hey, he calls up Iran.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Iran can't do anything because they're fighting with Israel. So now everything leads back to China. So Russia is embroiled in a war with Ukraine. We're funding that. Iran is tied up with Israel. Israel's knocking out all their proxies. Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Syria falls. Venezuela, when they fall, they say, hey, guys, who's going to come help us out here? Nobody. So now who's helping Iran? Is China showing up? No. Is Russia showing up? No.
Starting point is 00:16:31 So could it be that Trump, when he said, drill baby drill, this was all part of his plan to take out all these countries and basically say, China, what's up with the tariffs now, buddy? All your oil, all your power, all your energy. You have a billion people that you need to keep the lights on, and you're going to be major struggling when I take out all your allies. So could it be that Trump had this planned all along? Could be.
Starting point is 00:16:57 If it is. Yeah. If this is exactly how they thought about this, what a master plan. It's almost like he read your next five moves. What did he call it? He said Marco Rubio will end up being the greatest. Secretary of State. Of all time is what he said.
Starting point is 00:17:13 So, Tom, what are we looking at here with the China imports? Well, thank you, Rob. China imported 5 million barrels a day through the Strait of Hormuz last year. Damn. Yeah. And it tells you from war, 1.2 from Iraq, 395 Kuwait, 106 Qatar, 666 UAE. They shoot it on 667. 703, Oman, 1.5 million Saudi and 1.4 million Iran.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah. So never mind. the numbers. Iran is only 1.4 that, but the highway's closed. Exactly. Exactly. So, but do you not think, Tom, it's just a matter. So it's one of two things.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Either if you're U.S., you know, you hear the stories of, Rob, do you have the clip of the Shahid drone? There's this one video that I saw, I'll send it to you which, do you have, okay, play this clip about these Shahid drones, right?
Starting point is 00:18:07 If you watch something like this, go ahead, Rob. Did you know why the Shah Head 136 drone is so deadly? It's just 11 feet long with an 8-foot wingspan, but it carries a 40-kilogram warhead and can fly over 1,800 kilometers to strike with deadly precision. The engine, loud and rough. It's not stealthy. You hear it coming.
Starting point is 00:18:24 But can you stop it? It costs just $20,000, but taking it down can cost anywhere from $400,000 to $4 million. That's like trying to stop a bicycle with a Lamborghini. Did you know why the shot? So at the beginning, like right now, you're looking at Russia and Ukraine, but we're having this conversation somewhat last night, Tom, at dinner, is if they're using $20,000 drones
Starting point is 00:18:48 and to take them down, they have to use $400,000 to a few million dollars to take them down, okay? And if these guys continue to make these and they're accelerating, do you think Trump's team is realizing, like, whatever they do, this has to be like a Mike Tyson first round knockout type of a fight, not something that can be dragged out to eighth, ninth round like a Buster Douglas, not saying that they're going to win the war, but to them winning the war is, if the IRGC is still in business six months from now, that to me is winning the war.
Starting point is 00:19:19 No? If IRGC is still around, would you not say that they won? Yeah, of course. Do you understand what I'm saying to you? 100%. If they're still around and they're still running the show, that's not a good look. So for them, when you see this back and forth with the drones that they have, do you think U.S. has to do this very quickly?
Starting point is 00:19:36 because if they don't do it really quickly, China's going to get involved and do something. You don't have a long time. I think this is like a, you have to make sure you get this very quickly. The window is very, very small. And in fact, Tom, you made a great point. I remember the video that we played on Monday of the Navy going, everybody, this is the, everybody get out, it's closed.
Starting point is 00:19:55 First of all, we're dominating. We've sunk the majority of their naval flee. Whoever that guy is, he's probably dead. Well, how long do you think, Tom is it? Turned off radar on any air. Turn off radar and everything. So what's closing? the straight of hormones? Yeah, if we're bombing and we're doing it, I think, Pat, that's a great point. Get it over with. Destroy them all. Because if we're going to win, we need to win fast, and then who's going to control the Strait of Hormuz? Got it. Two points here. So I was reading last night, they said, who really closed the Strait of Hormuz? Lloyd's of London? Because Lloyds panicked and said none of your insurance is good. So did Lloyds of London effectively close the Strait of Hormuz? Because a lot of these boats aren't moving because they don't have insurance. They're not insured.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Trump did. But Trump came in and basically said, I'm going to insure everybody. Lloyd's of London has been the greatest insurance marketplace for, you know, commercial insurance and all types of insurance. For specialty under it. In the world. And they, did they not move out and basically reposition themselves out of this situation? And Trump shows up and goes, no, now, I'll insure you.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's kind of like how we talk about in California. No, but there's, all the insurance companies are leaving. All the insurance companies are leaving. And if Trump showed up and he's like, yeah. Yeah, if you want to buy a house, I got you. I'll do the insurance. So essentially telling all the countries, keep doing business.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Business will not stop. Is this his tweet? Effective immediately. I voted the United States Development and Finance Corporation to provide a very reasonable price, political risk, insurance, and guarantees for the financial security of all maritime trade, especially energy traveling through the Gulf.
Starting point is 00:21:32 The Persian Gulf. The Supreme available to all shipping lines, if necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. Bingo. He said the free flow of energy to the world. The United States economic and military might is the greatest on earth. It takes a minute to get that paper done, right?
Starting point is 00:21:51 So you got to wait till you get the paper done. But to Pat's point, the other thing I read, I don't know if you have Jane's military. There's a James analyst that says, in modern warfare, the big power on a concentrated attack, you're dead and you're dead fast. But when wars get wider and longer, the big power has trouble with it.
Starting point is 00:22:15 That's what happened to Russia in Ukraine. They suddenly were fighting on four or five different locations. Number one. Number two, if this goes wider, then it becomes more difficult and the drones, this is why I think they're making announcements about laser weapons and everything because they can't depend on Patriots. You know what the Patriot missile was. when we first heard about the Patriot missiles
Starting point is 00:22:37 when we heard about Iraqi with the Scuds, they had Scud missiles that were marginally accurate, but if they landed on you, they were big and they made tremendous damage, but they were conventional. And so Patriot missiles would shoot them down over some area before it reached a target. So the interceptors, this is exactly right.
Starting point is 00:22:56 You have to shoot down, you know, a bicycle with a Lamborghini. That's why the advanced weaponry is important to go knock them down out of the sky first. But the wider and longer it gets pat, that favors the one you've attacked. And that's exactly what happened in Ukraine. I want to show this interview of the foreign minister of Iran, okay? And I want you to judge him by his confidence and his poise or the lack of. This was a great interview.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I watched the whole thing. It's very well done by whoever the interviewers from NBC. He did a great job. He's asking, what do you think about the potential of a ground invasion? And here's how he reacts. Go ahead. Roald out boots on the ground in Iran. Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country? No, we are waiting for them.
Starting point is 00:23:46 You are waiting for the U.S. military to invade the ground troops? Yes. Because we are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them.

When I said we are waiting for them, it didn't mean that we are waiting for continuation of the war, know what we have prepared ourselves to confront with any scenario, with any eventuality, any possibility, and we know that we can handle that.
Starting point is 00:25:45 President Trump has not ruled out. Is that just acting tough? What do you think about when you hear that? He looks somewhat confident. His blink rate doesn't go up. He doesn't appear that he's in a like a stressed physical posture. He either believes what he's saying and he's wrong or he believes what he's saying and there's something there.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Adam. That is the most delusional leader I've ever seen. So it's kind of like, point at the scoreboard, you're winning 100 to 4, and the team with the 4 is like, we got them right where we want them. I'm telling you right now. Dude, they just decapitated your supreme leader
Starting point is 00:26:21 and all your military generals. Everyone showed up to this meeting on Shabbat when Israel doesn't and America doesn't wage war. And they sat in a room like idiots, and they all got destroyed. The whole world is looking at Iran now, crumbling. The regime is falling, and they have the notion to be like,
Starting point is 00:26:42 we got them right where we want them. You know what this reminds me of? You ever see these girls on like the whatever podcast, have you ever seen it? The girl's a disgusting, sloppy girl. And you go, rate yourself one through 10. She's like, I'm a 10 when she's clearly a one. And it's so completely delusional.
Starting point is 00:27:00 And everybody is going like, yeah, yeah, you're a 10. you got this honey when iran is crumbling their leader got killed meanwhile the who is this guy some spokesperson force minister's like iran this is all part of our plan though we wanted our leader to get killed this is all part of our plan it's it's it's either lying or it's delusion or it's a little bit of is he on the past is he on the list is this guy somebody that we would be wanting to target because if we want him he's gone so the fact that we've been letting him speak and he's still talking is nonsense, I think he has to do that. Because guess what? Number one, he's not going to go fight,
Starting point is 00:27:37 but number two, has anybody here ever heard of how amazing the Iranian ground troop army? No, I haven't heard none of that. He has to do that. Imagine that guy panicking, then what does the army do? Because the army is looking up to him, right? Because who else is? All the generals are dead. So I think he has to do it, but
Starting point is 00:27:53 mind you, how petrified do you think that guy is? With United States, with Israel's backing over there, wherever he is, they know where he is. Any bunker? Any Wherever he's at, they know. So if they want him gone so that he's doing... What's your opinion on a guy like this?
Starting point is 00:28:09 Minister of foreign affairs. Either lying or delusion. So he's got a mistress in Egypt. To be in a position and have a job like this, you have to be delusional. Half your job is, you know, Trump is sometimes delusional. When he's at the state of the union giving a message and you're watching him saying, he just lost Supreme Court to terrorists. They're about to attack Iran.
Starting point is 00:28:28 And he's talking to saying, it's the greatest economy. This is the greatest country ever. you. A little bit of you need that to make a position like this because you can handle the pressure. So that means he's got it. But by the way, what's crazy is any minute we can report that he got killed. Yes. You realize that any minute we can say he got killed and who's the next guy? Who's the next guy that's going to come up and talk about this? It's also the equivalent of Caroline Levitt getting up there as the press secretary and Trump was just murdered. Our entire cabinet is gone, we're losing
Starting point is 00:29:02 the war and she goes, America's greater than ever. So it's not even Trump saying this. I understand what you're seeing exactly the state of the union. The state of the union is you're going to say the state of the union is strong. This is the press secretary just lying to everybody and everybody knows it.
Starting point is 00:29:19 So it's a little bit different. I totally understand what you're saying? If you read art of war, what is the most basic rule of art of war? Act small when you're big, act big when you're small. You know, you have to kind of have act like when you have nothing you have going on you have to make them believe that you have a lot of stuff going on so they're probably reading the third grade version of art of war and maybe they're kind of using that to be like hey maybe in yeah impesare son too and he has art a war
Starting point is 00:29:49 making a mistake get out of their way if this were a poker game yeah and he's bluffing what hand does united states and israeli allies have let me put it to this way and what does iran read you stats from Wall Street Journal. Sure. Iran missile launches are down 86%. Oh, so there's data. Yeah, there's something called data, right? It's down 80. Rob. Who is this?
Starting point is 00:30:10 Is this? This is Admiral. I believe his name is... Cooper? Yeah, Admiral Cooper. 4-star. Brad Cooper. Brad Cooper. And what's he saying? Respect to you. Great role.
Starting point is 00:30:18 This is where he gives an update on the amount of Iranian missiles that are being shot right now. Okay, go for it. Then if I just look back over the last 24 hours of the operation compared to where we were at start. Ballistic missile attacks have decreased by 90% since day one. Drone attacks have decreased by 83% since day one. Having said this, we remain vigilant. Our strikes against the Iranian...
Starting point is 00:30:43 Drone attacks were down what? 90% said just a little while ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships. That was true at the moment. We're now up over 30 ships. Ships. And in just the last few hours, we hit an Iranian drone. carrier ship, roughly the size of a World War II aircraft carrier
Starting point is 00:31:01 and as we speak, it's on fire. I mean, it's just you know what that is? By the way, have you seen the pictures of those straight face? It could almost be a comedy skit. Yeah. Yeah, Tom. Go ahead. No, what he's talking about here is these ships that they make to hold the drones,
Starting point is 00:31:18 they look like beehives. And so we figured out where they were launching the drones from and we hit the ship. So all the drones and stuff that run the ship, and when they hit those, they burn and then they suddenly go up because the munitions that are on there goes up. So it's basically we hit one of the beehives that's launching the drones, which is why the drones are down 83%. And by the way, this is a
Starting point is 00:31:39 periscope footage of U.S. Navy submarine torpedoing, which we haven't used in a while. An Iranian friday dinner off the coast of Sri Lanka. This is, Rob, look at that. That's an Iranian ship. And our sub is using a torpedo. We're going old school. Watch the right side. Bye. Oh, my God. Bye. That's how we roll. homie. Wow. And by the way, so on Fox yesterday, they were talking about, Rob, is this the clip about laser? Yep. Okay, go for it. Watch this, folks. No, but you always want to keep that option open. And so far, that's not where this is going. As Trump would say, we've never
Starting point is 00:32:16 seen anything like this. This is two times the firepower that we saw over Iraq and Shok and awe. These are B-52s dropping 80,000-pound ordinance. We have artificial intelligence identifying targets. Space Force is seeing where these Iranian missiles launch from and then can take out the launch pad like that. We're shooting down Iranian drones with laser weapons. Also, Kamakazi drones, we're using them for the first time ever in combat. So this is just an astonishing display of American military superiority. Probably officially marks the beginning of.
Starting point is 00:32:52 of 21st century warfare, we have completely eradicated the two top layers of the Iranian leadership, the navies at the bottom of the sea, and their missiles were going from 80 a day to now 20 a day. The case is clear. Number one sponsor of terror in the world. They were ramping up their ballistic missile capabilities. They were digging deeper tunnels to enrich again, and their Navy threatens the flow of oil. We don't care who rules the country. They just have to play by... Hour rule. You want to go to this. So let me just read this.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Laser weapon deployed in Operation Epic Fury. Space Force stops Iran's missiles in their tracks. This is a New York Post story. Iran's weapon debris blown to pieces or mechanically crippled keeps dropping from the Middle East sky. For that, we can thank heat-seeking satellites, military-grade malware, and radar jamming software, all made in America. New technology laser weaponry has been used. against Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. Navy destroyer off the coast of Middle East nation is fitted
Starting point is 00:34:01 with a new weapon which appears to be high-energy laser with integrated optical dazzler and surveillance halo systems. The laser is a state-of-the-art device with steerable head, able to concentrate on intense, tightly focused beam of energy and takes out drone, the Space Force time. What can you tell us about this? So I'm wondering who leaked this story. And why are we talking about some of the most advanced stuff?
Starting point is 00:34:28 Remember after when we went to get Maduro and they said, oh, he was getting migraines and we were falling down? And remember what it was? Remember was? No comment. No comment. And it's like, were we using energy where energy weapons are alternative weapons? We have no comment about that. I think Caroline Levin tweeted something about that.
Starting point is 00:34:47 And it sounded a little bit like, do you remember that? We're like, wait a minute. This sounds too perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Correct. So now we're coming out with a lot of detail about how it works, what it works, and what it does. So the answer is we have advanced, there are advanced weaponry that the average person, you know, has not become aware of, and now is rolling into the lexicon of news coverage on international war. And these weapons are important because, remember, the analysis of the interceptors, how many interceptor missiles you have, is the assumption that you have to use a patriot.
Starting point is 00:35:22 missile and an interceptor to get all of the incoming rockets. And Mark pointed it out on Business Wednesday very well with a chart. Well, that chart is true only if there's not alternative weapons that will also take these things down. And so what you're seeing here, I'm wondering if we aren't kind of talking to Russia and China here is pointing out is like, you know what, if you want to send that crap over here and you want to help Iran through the back door, you know, we're going to take. take this stuff down. So you think about this. Because I'll tell you, inside the Department of Defense,
Starting point is 00:36:00 we would love China to expose new missile systems by giving them to Iran right now so that we can test against it. It may sound terrible because it puts life at risk, but there's a little part of the Department of Defense that always wants a live test against the enemy's best, or against enemy armaments. And so I think we might be talking to China and other people here and letting the world know what this is and maybe letting the world know you're going to wait this thing out. I don't have to use Patriot missile intercepts. I've got other things I can use. I'm not going to run out of intercept missiles before you run out of missiles. I will not run out of intercept capability. Adam. I mean, let me just break this down very simply. It's not even a fair fight. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:52 I mean, look at the cover of what's going on the Wall Street Journal right now. They basically outline what Iran is doing. They're basically saying Tehran is fighting with jets that date back to the Vietnam War. But they look cool. With the scrounge parts of ingenuity, Iran's aging jets are failing in dog fights. And then it says talking about the Israeli pilot flying one of the world's most advanced war planes made the U.S., made in the U.S., took Amin down in Iranian jet. easily sending its streak into the ground in a ball of fire. Target is down completed.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Iran is sending a creaking air force. Many of the planes are museum pieces kept flying with scrounge parts and pluck that stand little chance against modern warplanes. So what are we talking about here? We have to remove that plane from the museum. Does it still work? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Bring it in. No, no, we'll get some parts. Break that wall. Exactly. So they have this 19-7. So they have this 1970s technology. Mesry. With a 7th century ideology, bringing back to Vietnam War,
Starting point is 00:38:00 where the United States and Israel and our allies have the most technologically up-to-date, incredible weaponry we've ever seen, not to mention a updated belief system, not tied to an apocalyptic theocratic regime that's still citing seventh-century beliefs. It's not even close. It'd be like, hey, in today's high school debate, we have the high school debate champion that is a full ride to Yale versus the high school dropout that just failed their GED.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Let's see who wins this fight. It's not even close. The American military is the greatest thing this world has ever seen. I have a question that I want to ask you guys. Well, I thought initially the reason that we went in there was because of the people, because of the revolution that the people were doing the quote-unquote 40,000.
Starting point is 00:38:49 and people that were killed in the streets and all that stuff. But then it's more sounding like this is more about taking out their weapons and their systems and their missile launching. I really hope, are they? We don't know. We can only guess. The goal was for the people to be liberated from this regime, which I agree with 100%.
Starting point is 00:39:06 The world's going to be a better place when that, the evil regime is gone. But I hope that people are getting together and trying to find out because once the smoke clears from the lasers and the missiles and the bombs, They need to have a running government. They need to have, and I think Trump had said something about somebody coming in, because with all this craziness, with all the war, I hope they're not losing focus. It's the people. This I thought was because the people were dying and fighting in the streets.
Starting point is 00:39:35 It's kind of seeming more like, yeah, I understand they're taking out the weapons and all their leadership. But I hope people are paying attention and focusing on the leadership because once it's done, somebody has to set up, Adam. There has to be one guy, election, something has to happen. You know what I'm saying? I think it's, you're talking about it. It's regime collapse. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:53 It's not regime change anymore. It's regime collapse and eliminating, listen to what Rubio said, to eliminate their rockets and their ability to rebuild them. Well, listen, I don't want to, some of you guys, a lot of people are worried because this is actual footage of Iran's fighter just taken off to intercept Israel's after 355s. And it's, a lot of people are worried. about this if you want to play this click go ahead right here this is they're coming down the street hard this is errone in the sky right there's about to take off sly jets oh my gosh oh
Starting point is 00:40:30 oh oh oh god it's over it's over unbelievable it's over listen i mean look we're being funny when i saw that if somebody send me remember they have no economy you break it you buy it Yeah, yeah. But it is funny. I have to pay for this now. It is funny. They're horrible at defeating American. Let me ask a weird question, Tom.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Does this give Ukraine an opportunity right now to say, hey, or is Ukraine kind of on a pause with Russia? They're like waiting for Trump to see what he's going to be doing. Because you know Russia would buy the Shaheeds back in 23, 24, they no longer do. They license them. And now they make their own drone. identical to it. They call it the Guaran or something like that. But they still need small little particles, small little pieces that they use from the Iranian drone. However, so it's $20,000 Shahid drones being sent to Ukraine. They had the $2,000, $3,000 interceptors that Ukraine produces.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Is this opportunity for Ukraine or Zelensky kind of sitting there and say, listen, let's just wait for this to get done? Because I want to make sure me and Russia get things done as well and we're, you know, we have some peace. How do you think Ukraine is reacting right now to this? First of all, Zelensky is begging for some of the stuff that he sees in use, and he's not going to get it, because this president's not going to give it to him. And I think Ukraine's been oddly silent and not, I think, in a devious way. I just think they and Russia are in this stalemate. And Trump has been, come on, let's get a ceasefire already.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And I think a week ago, didn't Zelensky say a week ago, if this I'll do a ceasefire? Now you can't believe Zelensky because two drinks later. He changes his mind and it's still war. So there has been an opportunity for Ukraine to get a ceasefire and to stop this thing for six months. And it's been increasingly frustrating to D.C. Because they've thought they've had it done a couple times, Pat. So is there an opportunity for Ukraine? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:42:35 I think there's an opportunity for Ukraine to get the ceasefire and knock it off. If you ask me. the first person to stand down gets a ceasefire, but Putin and Zelensky don't want to be the first person to stand down. I think if this thing continues the way it is, if all of a sudden it continues, drags out, Putin and China have to get involved, don't they? If it drags out.
Starting point is 00:43:03 No, no, if what's going on with Iran, okay, in the war, if it drags out. Yeah, we don't want that. I know we don't want that. But how long before you think you're going to see something of, you know, report coming out that, you know, China's doing this or Russia's getting involved with this? How long do you think they can tolerate this taking place? What do you mean by getting involved? Like, meaning like, say, hey, we're joining the war.
Starting point is 00:43:28 We're going to help them. We're sending weapons. We're doing this. We're doing that. Well, I mean, I mean, I probably already are. I'll give you my hypothesis. Russia has been exposed. They're still fighting the same small piece of the Donbass territory.
Starting point is 00:43:41 how many years later now, four years later? They can't beat Ukraine, obviously, with our weaponry and technology and aid, and they have no interest. There's no appetite, in my opinion, in Russia to go fight a war on another front. In Iran? No. China, China and Iran, they're transactional. They're not real allies.
Starting point is 00:44:05 China has come out and said that they think Islam is a mental sickness of some capacity. And they have over a million Uyghurs locked up in camps. So they're not natural allies. They rely their business associates. And they're there for the energy and they're there for the energy alone. So China, they want global domination and global hegemony. If they're going to wage a war, you know where China is going to send their troops? It's one place.
Starting point is 00:44:31 It's Taiwan. That's the only thing they're concerned about. The only reason they would get involved is for a lack of energy. That's the Strait of Hormuz affects China way more than it affects America. we don't even get oil from there. So China is looking at this like, you're messing with our money, you're messing with our energy,
Starting point is 00:44:50 we have some moves to make. There's obviously some tariffs conversation there. I personally, I could be dead wrong. I don't see Russia and China sending troops at all. Maybe military aid, but zero troops. No, no, because the moment... Let's look at a piece of history. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:07 No, because the moment, top of, and please say your point, the moment they send troops, that means you want to go to war, and then it's over, Adam. What, if Russia sends troops to Iran to fight America, it's over. Then it's war, war. And then it's war. And then China gets involved, and then it's, it's no. That right there, it's over.
Starting point is 00:45:24 They're doing a subtly. So. Another war when you're basically at a stalemate. It's been a while, but we need to look at history here. Let's look at history. The U.S. is going to win the Korean War. We are with South Korea, Seoul, pushing north. We're going to win.
Starting point is 00:45:39 the Korean War when this happened. China dropped 2.5 million troops into Korea. Most people don't know this. The reason the Korean War was a stalemate, because from 1950 to 53, China dropped 2.5 million troops into North Korea to help, and it caused it to be a stalemate across what is now the DMZ and the famous 38th parallel. It's been a while, but China has done it. This was the first time that we had been in active engagement with China.
Starting point is 00:46:07 that war was going to be over and look what happened. Rob, pull up a world map. Tom, you're absolutely right. I'm just saying it's happened before. We're talking about North Korea, which is literally their next door neighbor. So it affects your house if you don't get involved. Go to North Korea and China. That's where it was going down.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Now pan out, look where Iran is, all the way across Asia. They're not sending troops halfway around the world when they could have sent them across the street. So proximity matters in this case. You're absolutely right. We've had issues in the Korean War with China, no doubt. But wouldn't you agree that the landmass wouldn't produce this type of... Land War. I'm looking at arms.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I'm looking at error. I'm looking at do they get involved that way. And Trump talked about, Rob, you know, no plans of, you know, a feud on the ground, but troops on the ground. But he did say this is a... Do you have that clip? Do the troops on the ground? I think he just said this yesterday. day, which clip was that?
Starting point is 00:47:11 That it was just yesterday, him talking about that's not the plans of what they're going to be doing. But to me, with China, if it drags out, your number one priority is your state, your country. You're getting 90, 80% of your oil from Iran from the Strait of Hormuz. And then you're getting 50-something percent of it from Venezuela. And you don't have a way to retaliate. either during this time, I'm trying to wonder like, do you think, you know, when you're doing a negotiation and there's stuff that's going on and you're doing this one deal and then you use this to negotiate this complete other deal with them? Like, do you think, what do you think is the likelihood Trump's team is right now talking to China about negotiating whatever they want? I think so.
Starting point is 00:47:59 What do you think is a high likelihood? High likelihood. I think so as well. It's like, hey, listen, so what do you think? Can you imagine that call? China is not happy with any of the... I know they're not. So what I'm saying is, look, we don't miss that point.
Starting point is 00:48:12 We don't want to hurt you. We understand you need the oil, and we understand you can't get it from Venezuela. We're going to sell you the oil now. We can sell it to you if you want, but here's what we need and return from you. You better not get involved with Iran. We will gladly sell you the oil, but if you get involved with Iran, it's going to be a massive problem. Stay the F out of this. Do you think if you were to say the likelihood of a call like this, 0-200, what do you put?
Starting point is 00:48:35 99? Tom, where do you put it? Is it 99? Where do you put it? I think there's a 95% chance. Oh, so you're there. No, no, no, no. No, no.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Are you not near that high? Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, I would see this. If I'm in this position, I'm making that call. I'm making a call on. I'm saying, look, guys, very basic rule. What do you want? Stay out of it.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Hey, Russia, Ukraine. Very. If this crisis is so loud that you, use this two weeks, four weeks, six weeks, however long it's going to last, get all the massive negotiations done. So in an ideal situation, let's paint a picture if this could possibly happen. Regime change, regime collapse, okay? You go to regime change, that's what Carter did, okay, with Iran. The regime collapse. Carter was a Democratic president. Going from Rezaa Shepa al-Avi to Khomeini is not a regime change. That's a regime.
Starting point is 00:49:35 collapse. Yes. Iran was free next day. Gone. IRGC. Gone, right? In 53, Mossadegh, when that happened in the mid-50s, that's a regime change. Mossadegh out, bring Reza Palavian.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Iran had a phenomenal relationship with Israel for 26 years. Just so you know that. There was no issues with Israel for 26 years. Middle East was at peace. What they're working on right now is the collapse. But if you're in it and you're about to collapse and you call Zelensky, Hey, you guys want to get this thing scored away or what? Hey, Putin, we hate the fact that this is going on.
Starting point is 00:50:10 What do you want? What do you guys need? If all of a sudden, imagine we wake up in six weeks. And within six weeks, eight weeks, deals have been done with China. Deals have been done with Russia and Ukraine. And Iran has collapsed. And they're not controlling that oil as well. They're going in.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I mean, you have to. And by the way, the Gulf states have sided with U.S. Of course. Iran has attacked all of these Gulf states and they're asking a question and saying did you see in the foreign minister? In interview, Rob, if you can find this, what's the word they use?
Starting point is 00:50:41 Casualties in war, there's a phrase they use that Israel also used with Palestine. He said, why are you attacking some of your allies? Why are you attacking some of these Gulf states? Why did you attack Turkey? No, no, we never attacked Turkey. But why did you hit some hotels? Why did you hit some properties?
Starting point is 00:51:01 You killed some innocent? people. Well, listen, if Israel did that with Palestine, why can't we? You know, we're going through it as well. So if all of a sudden you flipped, I'll find a clip and send it to you. It's from the same interview as yesterday, Rob. It's not that one. Whatever interview he did yesterday, he said that in that interview. First one to the NBC, that says 600,000 views. Not that one. Go back. That one right there. If you can find it, he says it and you look for it and find it will go through it. Is this collateral? Collateral damage? But I'm just saying to you, if in this type of pressure, you're negotiating these other deals, I would put
Starting point is 00:51:32 my teams are to work and say, guys, double time. Go. Let's do the deals. I think you summed it up perfectly regarding China. Let me address Iran for a second. You want to hear a crazy stat? You ready? Iran has struck more Arab countries in one week than Israel has done in its entire existence of fighting wars in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Iran has sent out more missiles, weapons, planes, drones, and attacked more Arab countries in one week than in the history of Israel fighting wars in the Middle East. wars in the Middle East. Can I give you the list of countries that they've been allegedly attacked? So obviously United States bases, Israel. The UAE has received 800 projectiles since Iran. Qatar, they've, uh, whose middle of the road is now basically siding with the U.S. who have a base there, Kuwait, Bahrain, they attacked residential buildings in Bahrain's capital. Oman. Saudi, U.S. bases in Saudi.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Israeli officials believe Saudi may also take military action and response against Iran. Jordan, Lebanon. They're fighting Hezbollah over there. Iraq, Kurdish areas of the region. Cyprus, they attacked, that's a European country. Now there's rumors of Azerbaijan and possibly Turkey received a missile that was sent out of, I don't know, not to mention the UK, France and Germany. Iran is in its last legs and they're just attacking everybody, everybody. And meanwhile, everyone's looking back and me like, this is who these people are.
Starting point is 00:53:11 No one's coming to Iran's defense. Nobody. So Iran is now bombed more Arab countries in Israel. So Israel was in first place and other second place. Israel's going to be pissed. Israel's going to be mad. Rob, did you find it? I believe so. This is where he's asked about attacking allies in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:53:28 And then, okay, go for it. in Israel and so many targets belongs to the Americans. Their assets, their bases, their installations in the region, and, you know, they have not been able to prevent those attacks. Our missiles are still working. Has the question been asked yet or no? Or is you about to ask the question? Because he asked the question, let the guy ask the question.
Starting point is 00:53:55 So, Minister, can Iran win this war? If I can ask you, can Iran win this war and what does winning look like for Iran? No, this is not at Rob. There's a part in it where he's asking casualties. He uses the phrase casualties. I don't know if you're able to search the words. You know how you typically do it on the right and you find it? There's no transcript for this one, so it's not populated.
Starting point is 00:54:17 This guy is funny. All your base are belong to us. No, I actually want you to hear it. I don't want to summarize it. I want you to hear it from him because. they've done a horrible job making friends. They've done a horrible job making friends because they're attacking their allies.
Starting point is 00:54:35 They're attacking some of the guys that they're neutral with. Well, not even... Yeah, there it is right there. So that's it. Let them ask the question, though, Rob. A mistake. Okay, he's going to ask, why are you attacking your neighbors? We have not attacked Muslim.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Go back. Let them ask the question, Rob. They can go, they can be a winner at the end of the day. Minister, explain to us and to the world, really. Iran has chosen to attack at least 10 other countries, many of them, your Arab neighbors. None of them were involved in this war. Why are you attacking your Muslim neighbors during the whole month of Ramadan? Please don't mistake.
Starting point is 00:55:14 We have not attacked our neighbors. We have not attacked Muslim countries. We have attacked Americans' targets and American bases, Americans installations, which are unfortunately located in the soils of our neighbors. So we have made it clear for them. I have been in touch with their foreign ministers, and I have explains that we are not targeting you.
Starting point is 00:55:37 We have no problem with you. We are only targeting the American installations on American bases. And the reason is obvious. But Minister, Iran is hitting civilian targets, striking hotels, high-rise apartments, airports in many of these countries. Those are not military targets. Let me tell you why this answer.
Starting point is 00:55:56 We have targeted very well the Americans are. Maybe there have been some collateral damages as it is in every war. You know, look, more than 70,000 people were killed in Gaza by Israelis. And Israeli army called all of them collateral damage. So, yes, there is the possibility of, you know, collateral damages in this situation as well. This is what we have warned everybody in the regional. Guys, so counter the argument of Israel uses the phrase collateral damage of what happened in Palestine and Gaza, right? Let's put that and argue that.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Yeah, that's right. Israel gets away with it. Why can they get away with it? Fine. Let's isolate that argument over here. Go back to the Gulf states. Ask yourself how they take that answer. Does that answer tell you that they're doing such.
Starting point is 00:56:53 you know, accurate, surgical, precise attacks to areas that innocent people in these 10 countries that are Gulf states won't be affected by it? Or do you think those leaders of those countries listen to that and say, wait, you're that reckless? And we've been with you? Don't get a twist. We're not waking up here every morning saying Israel is the greatest country in the world. Golf states are not sitting there saying, hey, you know, it's awesome. You guys, you don't have no skeletons in your closet. God knows they do. A lot of them, Israel. But this isn't about Israel. This is about Iran and their relationship. So it's like, imagine Vinny, me, you and Adam have an issue. And I, you do something. And he said, well, what about when Adam did this? And I said,
Starting point is 00:57:38 I don't care what Adam did to Tom. I care about what you did to me and the way you handled that you insulted me. I'm not okay with that. What was that all about? I don't trust you now. So to me, I think this was a bad look for him. What's the chances those 10, you know, countries paid attention to every word of this interview. Absolutely. Every single one of them. Every single one of them. And how do you think they handle this answer here?
Starting point is 00:58:03 Oh, okay. You want to play that game, buddy? No problem. You know what he just did? You know why this is so dumb? This is why they suck in diplomacy. Say what you say about, you know, what do you call it? Israel.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Gaza. These guys understand diplomacy. They understand, hey, listen, yes, we have to negotiate everything in Israel's favor, but we kind of need U.S., we kind of need this. They are very, what's the part? Strategic? Man, you can call it whatever. When you call it strategic, you can call it schmoozing, you can call it Bizdev, you can call it. You can even call it a little bit like on the gray area of, you know, not necessarily a positive war.
Starting point is 00:58:44 You can call it a negative word that's only selfish interest for them. He lacks the basic understanding of diplomacy. Like, you have to realize when you're talking to NBC, the world is watching. And you kind of say, well, listen, that's collateral damage. I'm sorry, you lost your cousin. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, you know, UA.
Starting point is 00:59:05 I'm sorry, Dubai. I'm sorry. Hey, what do you want me to do? You understand what I'm saying to them, Tom? You look like you want to say something. No, when you're done with that point. Yeah, go ahead. Collateral damage works when you have a hot conflict in Kiev.
Starting point is 00:59:18 That's the point of conflict. And residences on the outside are tragically impacted. That's collateral damage. Collateral damage is adjacent to the point of hot conflict. Collateral damage is not when you're trying to make a point and destroy an interest. And what Iran was trying to do, Pat, is lob missiles over at U.S. bases to make a point for America. That's not the point of conflict. collateral damage would be Iran coming across the border and impacting, you know, rural civilians in those things.
Starting point is 00:59:55 That's collateral damage. Collateral damage is not, oh, I wanted to make a point. I sent a missile to hit America. My missile's guidance system was so terrible, and I hit the freaking hotel. Or the energy weapons misguided the drone. The drone hit a hotel. It's like, dude, that's not collateral damage. You're a fool.
Starting point is 01:00:15 You're exactly right, Pat. He is, this is horrible. I think so. This is horrible. I think it's a, I'm so glad that you. By the way, the only way, I'm sorry, Adam, the only way I see this that you can speak like that is you know something the rest of the world doesn't know? Like, meaning China's about to send something to you to protect you.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Someone made a call to say to have your back. And the likelihood of that happened to me, it's less than 5%. It's honestly, it's maybe even less than 1%. But let's you say it's less than 5%. You talk like that when you need. meet those guys. You have to use this interview in a way to reassure those guys that you are not the enemy. You know, he said in the continuation of the conversation, he says, we made those calls before attacking and we told them, here's what we're going to be doing. We're hitting U.S. military bases
Starting point is 01:01:01 or we're hitting U.S. military properties, but at the same time, they effectively hit other places. So he's saying, I called them. In one of the countries, he was very afraid it was Turkey. You could tell the way he gave the respect to Turkey was different than the other country. He did. He did say that. Adam. Yeah, I mean, I'll just simplify this. There's a war going on. There's the good guys and the bad guys. U.S., Israel, and our allies are the good guys. Iran is the sole bad guy.
Starting point is 01:01:29 There's nobody coming to their defense with the exception of their proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis. And we know where Hamas is these days. Number two is Trump's in charge. If we've ever even thought about having the debate who the number of the number of one leader of the world is it's Trump and there's not even a close second. I'm sorry. But the silver lining here is now with Iran being essentially decimated and they will be in a matter of weeks, maybe months, there will be a new era in the Middle East where countries will sign these accords and get along and the thorn in everybody's side for the last 47 years will be removed.
Starting point is 01:02:09 That's my opinion of what will happen in the Middle East. Notice this. Last point. How many Middle Eastern countries at this point, heads of state are criticizing Israel? None. Nobody's saying anything. The war in Gaza's done. All eyes are on Iran. Now, you know, they said all eyes on Rafa. Nobody cared about that. All eyes are on Iran right now. And Iran has been exposed. The last thing Iran regime needs right now is their name in the news. Remember when they said they were going to kill people and they said the way to save these people's lives is talk about Iran. They want to do in the darkness. They want to turn off the internet.
Starting point is 01:02:47 They want to murder and maim their own people when nobody's looking. Well, now everybody's looking at Iran right now and they have no choice. So they're going to lie, they're going to be deceitful, but everyone knows what they're doing at this point. This is showing who they've attacked? Yes, sir.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Qatar, Cyprus, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, U.S. assets, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Syria, Bahrain, Oman, Azerbaijan, just making friends left and right. And so you know what this means? They're all on the same team against Iran. Can you imagine how double dumb that is? Triple dumb.
Starting point is 01:03:19 You're in a fight and you can't make any allies, any allies, and they're siding. I asked this question. I said, what was the chances that you would have thought two weeks ago, a month ago, three months ago, something's going to happen with Iran, Israel's going to attack, and all the, you know, you know, states, what do you call it? Gulf states are going to side with U.S. and Israel. What do you think is a chance of that happening? Oh, zero. Oh, no way.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Well, they just did. Why? Why? Why are they doing that? Why are they doing it? Why did MBS call Khomeini Hitler? Why? You don't think he knows him? You think he knows, you know him better than they do? Why did they do that? And, you know, there's a... Do you have that clip? Of course. MBS. Have you played that yet? You've never seen this clip? NBS? NBS?
Starting point is 01:04:10 NBS calls Khome. Hamanae Hitler. Have you ever seen this? No? You've never seen this? He said that he called. Maybe this is not recently, is it? Oh, this is not recently, but MBSS is a, Rob, I send this interview to you right there. Yeah, right there. We didn't play this clip?
Starting point is 01:04:24 We played it on Wednesday. Oh, okay, go ahead and play this clip. Watch this. Go ahead. Go back, watch this. Seen that you called the Ayatollah, Kamene, the new Hitler of the Middle East. Absolutely. Wow. Because he wants to expand, he wants to create his own project in the Middle East.
Starting point is 01:04:41 very much like Hitler, who wanted to expand at the time. Many countries around the world and in Europe did not realize how dangerous Hitler was until what happened happened. I don't want to see the same events happening in the Middle East. Does Saudi Arabia need nuclear weapons to counter Iran? Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb. But without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb,
Starting point is 01:05:01 we will follow suit as soon as possible. Wow. You've never seen that? Maybe the most important conversation regarding the Middle East. Of course. Of course. that shuts down so many of the conversations. And they all need the West. Once upon a time these guys...
Starting point is 01:05:18 It says we do not need a nuclear weapon as long as Iran doesn't have one. Right. There you go, guys. I mean... Remember, once upon a time, the Arab embargo crippled the United States and created gas lines and all these things under Carter. Now, all these years later, we're a net energy exporter. Drill baby drill.
Starting point is 01:05:36 And they'll say, we'll cut off your supply of oil. What are you talking about? I supply 60% of the natural gas to Europe. I'm an exporter now. I'm a net exporter. And so what are you talking about? These guys need the West economically. And Saudi and friends do not want to be drawn into this.
Starting point is 01:05:54 They want this over. They want to go back to selling to China and doing all the things they do. Can you do me, if ever, Rob? A lot of people are saying that was AI. Can you go to chat, CBT, and verify if that was AI? Ask the question. Has MBS ever called Khomeini? the Supreme Leader of Iran Hitler, because people are saying that's AI.
Starting point is 01:06:14 Maybe it is AI. If it is, we'll correct it, I apologize right now immediately myself. Oh, it's not AI. Oh, oh, oh, okay. 2017. 2017, nine years ago in a New York Times interview, Iran's Supreme Leader is a new Hitler of the Middle East. And he repeated in the video that you just showed.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Eight years ago, he said the same thing. So to the people that are like, there is no way he would say this about Chaminé, he just did. Do you know him better than MBS does? Let me tell you, this is the part of call with a guy yesterday. I don't want to mention the names at all on the call I had with a guy. Actually, it was a good conversation. I said, listen, I lived with these people. They don't think like you think.
Starting point is 01:07:00 They don't like what you stand for. They hate what you stand for. My every day, if I'm thinking about this thing, the only thing I ask is for this thing to be done quickly. quickly. I don't want it to drag out. If you're praying this week, if you're praying today, if you're going to church, if you're doing whatever you're doing, the main thing is for this thing to be done quickly. And it looks like that's what they're solving for. You ever seen what Marco Rubio said in 2015? And he says, I want this thing to be recorded. Yes. Because I wanted to be
Starting point is 01:07:29 on the record that I said this 11 years ago. Play this clip rod. This is Marco Rubio. So it's not like Marco Rubio just all of a sudden became like this last week because somebody made him think this way. Go ahead, Rob. It will be recorded for history's purposes before I know what was going to happen in regards to the civil goes through. Iran will immediately use the money that it's receiving and sanctions relief to begin to build up its conventional capabilities. It will establish the most dominant military power in the region outside of the United States and it will raise the price of us operating in the region. They're going to build anti-access capabilities, rockets
Starting point is 01:08:04 capable of destroying our aircraft carriers and ships, continue to build these swift votes that are able to come on us, these fast boats that are able to swarm our naval assets. And they'll make it harder and harder for U.S. troops to be in the region. They'll also work with other terrorist groups in the region to target American servicemen and women. And they may or may not deny that they're involved, but they will target us and raise the price of our presence in the Middle East until they hope to completely pull us out of that region. They'll also continue to build long-range missiles. Missiles capable of reaching the United States.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Those are not affected by this deal. and they'll continue to build them as they've been doing. And then at some point in the near future, when the time is right, they will build a nuclear weapon. And they will do so because at that point they will know that they have become immune, that we will no longer be able to strike their nuclear program because the price of doing so will be too high. Iran is led by a supreme leader who is a radical Shia cleric with an apocalyptic vision of the future. He is not a traditional geopolitical actor who makes decisions on the basis of borders or simply history, or because of ambitions.
Starting point is 01:09:08 He has an religious, apocalyptic vision of the future, one that calls for triggering a conflict between the non-Muslim world and the Muslim world, one that he feels especially obligated to trigger. And he's going to possess nuclear weapons. This is the world that we are on the verge of leaving our children to inherit. And perhaps we ourselves will have to share in it. And so I want to be recorded for history's purposes of nothing else to say that those of us who opposed this deal understood where it would lead.
Starting point is 01:09:35 And we are making a terrible mistake. But here's the good news. Iran may have a supreme leader, but America does not. In this nation, we have a republic. And soon we will have new leaders, perhaps in this chamber, but also in the executive branch. And I pray that on their first day in office, they will reverse this deal and reimpose the sanctions and back them up with a credible threat of military force, or history will condemn us for not doing what needed to be done at this critical moment in the world's history.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Wow. I do want to be done as presidential. You are looking at the 28 Republican presidential candidate to me, in my opinion. This is the guy. He has come up so much. It's not even funny. 2015, by the way, that's 11 years ago. He was saying that.
Starting point is 01:10:19 He's not reading anything. He just spent facts. Pat, do you mind just really quick? He's talking about the Khomeini from what 2015 was the same guy that's in right now. I know you mentioned this about the, because there was the first one. The old one is Khomeini. The old one. The new one is Khomeini.
Starting point is 01:10:32 Okay, so the Khomeini. So the old ones, Hoh-Hoh-Haw-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-O-N-A. So Khomeini, I sent this to Rob. He wrote a manual of Islamic law. It's, I believe, what, 661 pages, Pat? It's called the Terir al-Wasila. On page 229, Rob has the whole thing, volume 3.
Starting point is 01:10:51 He says, look at that, look at on problem number 11. Intercourse with the woman is not allowed unless she attains the age of nine years, regardless whether the marriage is permanent or temporary. There is, however, no objection and other sexual enjoyments like touching. Tom, say the word, lasciviously. Good job, loud and lascivious conduct. Hugging and rubbing the thighs even with a suckling infant.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Do you understand what that means? You could only marry them when they're nine, but if they're a suckling infant, you could touch them, hug them, rub the thighs and even at that age. So just for all the people out there, yeah, that are like, oh, these guys were, he was cool. he's taking the freaking direction of Muhammad the prophet The next sentence If a person has had intercourse
Starting point is 01:11:39 With a girl Before she has attained the age of nine years But it has not resulted in I don't know what that word is Ifta He shall not be subjected to any punishment Except that he shall be considered To have committed a sin
Starting point is 01:11:53 This is their ideology The ideology But besides to kill everybody This is how Like by the he wrote this by himself 661 pages, you have no idea what other stuff is in there about people like us. The next sentence is horrifying. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:10 It's medical. Medical. Except me a bit. If his intercourse resulted in something so that the urinal, menstrual, or the menstrual and fecal passages, that's the rectum, have become one. In other words, she's been torn open. Yes. It shall be so in the latter case. Guys, what's wrong with this?
Starting point is 01:12:32 perpetually prohibited to him, though according to more cautious opinion. It shall be so in the latter case. In any case, according to the stronger opinion, she shall not cease to be his wife. By the way, this is in Chad. This is, I took this right. Rob, can you show the PDF so people could see it? Just really quick, if you guys want to see the PDF, that's it. That's what he wrote.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Starts going down, Rob. This is the original. That's him. That's him. And it was translated. Khomeini. Yep. Just letting you know who you're dealing with.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Can you show the picture of him, Rob? The original one? The OG, the one that they did in, uh, well, what, what was that they, his son may become one and Trump called him weak. He said he's too weak. Yeah. And he has the clip of a Trump. So who wrote this?
Starting point is 01:13:19 Did you hear what's going to roll by the way? What? So can I read an announcement? So the new Ayatollah, Yep. Chamini, yep. Not Khomeini. Yep.
Starting point is 01:13:30 The new Supreme Leader, after. Kamene, his son, was treated for impotency in the UK. You know, the lineage trying to have kids. So he said he went to the private United Kingdom hospitals. He went to the U.S. Embassy in 2008, went to London's Wellington and Cronwell hospitals for impotency issues, had three extended visits to the UK, but needed a fourth visit for medical treatment. after a stay of two months, his wife finally became pregnant.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Back in Iran, a healthy boy was born, named Ali for his paternal grandfather. So let me get this straight. Impudency aside, correct me if I'm wrong. The original Khomeini sought refuge in where? France? Correct. So the French protected the original supreme leader and now the new supreme leader,
Starting point is 01:14:28 the son of the fallen supreme leader, sought medical treatment in the UK of all places. So France and the UK are basically helping the enemy succeed and give life. Walk me through this, Europe. We talk about the invasion that's going on in Europe.
Starting point is 01:14:49 You're literally enabling these people to terrorize the world. Which, by the way, to say where this came from, this came from WikiLeaks. This story came from Wikileaks in 2008. U.S. diplomatic cables from 2008 later released by WikiLeaks. That's where the story's coming from. So, but anyways, I mean, that's, listen.
Starting point is 01:15:11 Why are these Middle Eastern autocrats, theocrats, going to Europe for a safe passage and for medical treatment? Walk me through that. Well, I mean, that goes to Spain, taking a position saying the Spain prime minister hits back at Trump threat to cut trade. over air-based dispute, and Spain categorically denies White House claim it will cooperate on an Iran war. They're just not playing ball with U.S. at all. Rob, what did you have?
Starting point is 01:15:39 They have complete marxies. So I have the Prime Minister of Spain, and I also have President Trump. Go for it. I have Caroline Levick and her reports that Spain was working with the U.S. And then I also have a Spain, a Spanish diplomat saying that that's not true. Go ahead. 23 years ago, another U.S. administration dragged us into a war. in the Middle East. Award that, in theory, was said at the time to be waged to eliminate
Starting point is 01:16:04 Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy, and ensure global security. But in reality, looking back in hindsight, what happened, Ron? Oh, that's the end of the clip. And then here's President Trump talking about Spain. Some of the European, like Spain has been terrible. In fact, I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain Spain first of all he said he's going to cut off everything with them so this kind of goes to
Starting point is 01:16:35 not necessarily what's Caroline saying Rob this is Caroline Levitt where she says that Spain has agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military and they're fully denying it I think they heard the president's message yesterday loud and clear and it's my
Starting point is 01:16:52 understanding over the past several hours they've agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military and so I know that the U.S. military is coordinating with their counterparts in Spain. But the president expects all of our European allies, of course, to cooperate in this long sought-after mission, not just for the United States, but also for Europe. Well, Adam, to go to your point, are you surprised that the U.K. is accepting any Muslim? They're not, they refuse to go after the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs.
Starting point is 01:17:22 His name, by the way, the son is Mojaba Khomeini, son of Iran's supreme leader. he's reportedly to own luxury homes in Britain's worth $100 million and he's set to hold 11 properties on the Bishop's Avenue in Hampstead, North London. He's called Billionaires Row. Of course they're going to do that. Of course they are. And how can we be cool with people that do that? That's the sun.
Starting point is 01:17:44 The apple doesn't fall that far from the tree. He's supposedly supposed to be next in line. So the Ayatollah son, who's the new Ayatollah, you're telling me, has a $100 million compound in what city? Yes, luxury homes combined 100 million. Hamstead and North London. In the UK. Yep. So we want to go to ground zero as why this is happening in London, in the UK, in Manchester.
Starting point is 01:18:09 This is what's happening? Yep. You're just letting the Ayatollah just spend their money and buy property in your country. Rob, who is that? Is that him saying that the story's not true? Yes, this is Spain's foreign minister that denies Caroline Levitt's comment. a spokesperson from the White House, has officially announced today that the government of Spain
Starting point is 01:18:30 has agreed to extensive cooperation with the United States military. Is this true? I categorically deny it. On my way here, I received those statements and I had time to see and listen to them a bit. I categorically deny it. The position of the government of Spain, regarding the war in the Middle East and the bombings in Iran,
Starting point is 01:18:47 regarding the use of our bases, has not changed one bit. Therefore, I categorically deny it, and honestly, I have no idea what this could be referring to or where it could be coming from. In any case, I want to make one thing clear to all Spaniards, both men and women. The position of the government of Spain regarding the use of the bases,
Starting point is 01:19:05 the war in the Middle East, and the bombings in Iran has not changed at all. Minister, but it's the White House spokesperson and she has been very explicit. Listen, please. With respect to Spain, I think they heard the president's message yesterday. With respect to Spain, I believe they heard the president.
Starting point is 01:19:20 You can pause it right there. So, Tom, how do you process this? Well, one of two things. Spain is trying to keep somebody happy and they're letting us do it, but they're out there denying it trying to keep somebody else happy. Who? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:32 Actually think about it. Who would Spain want to keep happy? I don't know if they're trying to keep happy? Was it Spain that allowed just recently the influx of a ton of immigrants that came over there? They did. By the way, there is precedent here. You know, Operation El Dorado Canyon, which was, remember when Mor Mar-Kanafi stood up,
Starting point is 01:19:52 took credit for the bombing of Pan Am flight in Lockerby, Scot. and also was implicated in the discotheque bombing that killed the American servicemen. Operation El Dorado Canyon was called by Reagan. He flew F-11 Ardvarks, which is an amazing Air Force aircraft at the time, incredibly fast on the deck down below 10,000 feet. And when it drops its payload, it can avoid fighters. So these are very sophisticated, great aircraft. He sent 20 of them or so.
Starting point is 01:20:25 from the UK all the way down. But France said you won't fly over our airspace. And the rumor has it that that is why a stray armament hit the French embassy in Tripoli way over there when we were there to put some holes in the airstrip so that Gaddafi couldn't launch against us. And then we bombed his compound. That's what happened. So there's the long been conspiracy thing that the U.S. sent a message to France, you know, the old caller ID. Hey, Vinnie, I got a caller ID from Langley.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Said, tonight's a good night to see a movie. And so the embassy supposedly got tipped and had limited to no people present, but it got hit by an American bomb because the French wouldn't let us use their airspace. I'll take a stab of this and I'll be quick. Why is Spain defending Iran is because they're communist in Spain, straight up. and Iran is Islamists and this isn't anything new you know there was an article that came out a few years ago
Starting point is 01:21:28 they said strange bedfellows the progressive left and the Islamic right it's because you would know this PBD when the revolution happened there was something called the red green alliance the communists get into bed with the Islamists which is the horseshoe theory the far left
Starting point is 01:21:44 and the far right are closer than the center the moderates so the useful idiots will help the Islamists basically take over the world and then what did the Islamists do when they helped uh the the communists helped them take over Iran what did they do they killed all the college kids all the the progressives so all the college kids with you know if you don't learn from history you're doomed to repeat it all the college kids are doing the encampments it's the same thing that's already happened it starts
Starting point is 01:22:12 on the college campuses like useful idiots they're wearing the kaffirs they're advocating for sharia law and then when sharia law happens who are the first first people that die. The gays for Gaza crew. It's already happened. So Spain is communist. Iran is Islamist and they have a weird alliance and what is their center
Starting point is 01:22:33 foundation? They want to bring down America and the West. By the way, there's a clip of what's going on in the UK if you want to show that. Talking about the Ayatollah hiding out and seeking refuge and getting medical treatment there. Rob, I thumbed up in the chat the
Starting point is 01:22:49 The... Still when I sent you a two-day ago. Unbelievable. Do you have that, Rob? It's in the text. Rob, I already sent it. Just look in the... I do have a couple other things I want to get to. I mean, she just lights up. Text chat, Rob, in the Peabody podcast. I'm in it right now. We're at. That's your on Patrick's thing, not BPD. Okay. Thank you. That right there. You were saying? This one. You said you have a couple.
Starting point is 01:23:15 You said you have a couple. And Jake is right. Our amazing armed forces deserve all the credibility. They deserve good resources. They deserve to have our full support. They deserve to be protected for crying out loud. We were exposed out there. We knew that there was going to be war in that region and we have left them undepended and now France and Greece are having to run to our rescue. Do you know what? I've got a message not just for this Prime Minister, but all of you, all of you for the past 20 years. You have been self-indulgent. You've been naive. Your policy principles have had totally the wrong priorities. It's been about keeping your seats, gaining your seats, pandering to communities who will never vote for you, who do not have our interests at heart.
Starting point is 01:24:00 You didn't stop those pro-Palestine marches. You didn't prescribe the Muslim Brotherhood. You didn't prescribe the IRGC. You were weak in support of Israel. You have sabotaged our self-sufficiency when it comes to energy production, concreting those oil wells, banning exploratory drilling in the North Sea. What on earth do you think? you're doing your domestic terrorist, you're sabotaging this nation, you're compromising food security by attacking the farmers. Well guess what? When international maritime shipping routes closed down, food can no longer reach our island. Everything that this government and quite frankly previous governments have been doing for far too long now has been pathetic, it's been weak-willed,
Starting point is 01:24:42 it has had its eye off the ball, it has been narcissistic, it's been about looking good in public, And at the same time, you have put Britain in a desperately precarious situation. You've flooded this land with foreign enemies. You have not secured our borders because of a pandering to out of date, not fit for purpose, international law and treaties that belong in the dustbin of history that defend our enemies and straight jacket our ability. We find that if she's in jail because she said anything about Muslims, she's probably going to be in jail. By the way, you want to know what's crazy about her? Fend her, she's single. It's not even her show.
Starting point is 01:25:18 She was a sit-in. Wow. Gangster. She was a sit-in. You think they're going to bring you back? This is like Wally Pip was sick. Lou Gehry takes over. Hey, hire her.
Starting point is 01:25:27 She stays for her 2100 days straight. She's incredible. She was incredible. Was she wrong? No, no, she's not wrong. She said the right thing. Let me go to a couple stories with Iran. So the question then becomes replacement, okay?
Starting point is 01:25:42 The question that becomes replacement, Spain plans to give half a million undocumented migrant legal status. Bingo. This is just a month ago. This is, can you go to the picture of Spain? So they're wearing the cafes in Spain. I mean, I think we should just take that woman's clip and just show it for every country in Europe. Every single country that is allowing this mass migration for the third world.
Starting point is 01:26:06 That's new Spain. That does not share their ideology. I don't want to help. It's the strange death of Europe. So now you know who they are. So let them do what they're doing. You know the conversation I was having with this fellow yesterday. You know, your tacos.
Starting point is 01:26:16 I said, look, why is it? is it that the safest, lowest unemployment, best place in Europe to be Poland. Why? They don't allow a single person in. Stats are the stats. They have the lowest crime rate, lowest unemployment. They love living there. It's a Christian state. They don't take a single immigrant that's coming and everybody else has taken them. It's a tough argument to debate. But let me go to this one here. Go go to what happened yesterday. Apparently, Reza Pallavi's team didn't filter this podcast that had them on. I'm only showing this for one reason. So he is played a very important role in Iran with, you know, helping out.
Starting point is 01:26:53 And he gets on this podcast and his team is getting them on this interview to be done. He doesn't know these are two pranksters from Russia. And the guy introduces himself as Adolf. Rob, I don't know if you have the whole interview. You have this? Go ahead. Played from the beginning so we can just kind of see this and then go to it. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:27:13 That's great. And Reza Polavit is coming as well. I was just done making sure the line was open. They're in Germany, I believe, while this is happening. He's just finishing another meeting. This guy sounds British, right? Oh. So, how does your team not filter this out?
Starting point is 01:27:31 Hello. Hello, good afternoon. Good afternoon, dear Prince, Palflevi. So we're waiting for adults. No problem. We'll wait. Okay, okay. How do you like Munich? It's cold and rainy, so I can't see the best of times.
Starting point is 01:27:50 I guess. Yes. Now, this is my, I think, fourth time in Munich in the last year. Oh, Adolf is here. Adolf is here. Nice to meet you, nice to see you. These are comedians. This is a prank.
Starting point is 01:28:09 I need to tell you that my father knew your father. I come. Really? Yes. What was it? His father, an adult grandfather. Yes. My grandfather knew your father.
Starting point is 01:28:25 How interesting. Was he stationed in Iran in some capacity? Did you hear what he just said? My grandfather, my German army. You understand what to say? Yeah. He was an agent in Tehran. Anyways, this continues.
Starting point is 01:28:39 He's trolling him. Oh, let me tell you. It continues. And then by the seventh minute mark or whatever, they figure out, how long is he? How long is the interview right? Right now, six minutes, 46 seconds long. And then they realized and they said he's got a goal and they start celebrating like we got him. I can't believe he fell forward. Pat.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Who do you put this on him or his team? I put 90% on his team. I put 10% on him. And I'll tell you why. 90% on his team because the team has to filter out anybody that wants to have you on the show. Remember, Trump got fooled one time with Sasha Barron Cohen. And he says, I'm thinking about creating this business where the ice cream doesn't melt. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Well, it was Ali G. Ali G, yeah, he says, Bula chasha. What'd you think about that? Within two minutes, Trump is like, I'm out of here. I got to go. So, by the way, it happens to everybody,
Starting point is 01:29:27 just so you know. It's not like you. Hillary was on. Between two plants. No, but that was that Gallifanak. She knew what she was doing with that. She thought that was a good idea. But if you look at this one here,
Starting point is 01:29:37 fast forward at the end when Trump is realizing this as a game, and he goes to it and look at how it finishes. It goes to the last 10 seconds right there, Rob. Can AI help you do more of what you love? More of the meaningful work, the human work? Like reaching bigger goals, faster, or growing careers and the bottom line. Workday is the next-gen ERP powered by AI that knows your business,
Starting point is 01:30:02 connecting more dots across your organization so your people have time to connect to work they love. We all know AI is changing work forever. Now let's change it for the better. It's a new work day. I hope you make a lot of money. Good luck, folks. It's been nice seeing you. You take care of yourself, okay?
Starting point is 01:30:21 Is you going to be in on that? Well, it sounds like an interesting. We've got like P. Diddy is going to be in it. Good. How funny was that? I mean, that was 20 years ago. So he got it and he kind of walked out. But to me, I put 90% out of team, 10% on him.
Starting point is 01:30:33 And by the way, the moment that he says, my name is Adolf, you got that mustache. And you got a German accent. Six months, six minutes because they're all watching. How do you not? And I get what you're saying. The alarm bell should go off immediately. Maybe 20 seconds. I don't know if there's any eight hours.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Hello, I'm welcome to the Adolf show with a little mustache within 10 seconds. My father, your father. At that point, you have to know where this is going. But I'm going to tell you, this is going to be no news. It's going to go by within 24 hours. If it hasn't already moved on and people are going to move on. Because it was via Zoom. No, it doesn't matter what it is.
Starting point is 01:31:11 If this were in real life and you don't see that? Because you could say, oh, the lighting. this and that. He has at least an excuse. A little bit more? Team. 90% team. Filter better. Filter better. I think he's about to go on all-in podcast here soon. And he's going to be doing a lot more of these. His team needs to filter these things better. Generally
Starting point is 01:31:31 don't do an interview with a guy named Adolf from Germany. It's a bad idea. We'd just say like if in the future a host name is Adolf from Germany, I wouldn't do that possible. That's one of your top seven rules for filtering. Yeah. Like we do a podcast course and I teach people the top 20 rules. I think it's like rule number two or three. Exactly. Never do a podcast with a guy named Adolf from Germany. And despite popular opinion, Hitler wasn't a cool guy.
Starting point is 01:31:52 Yeah. I don't know if you heard that. Yeah. Yeah, we've kind of heard that all over the place. All right. Okay, so let's go to the next story. Christy Noem. Vinny, what happened there?
Starting point is 01:32:02 Okay, Trump fires, this is AP. Homeland Security Secretary Noam after mounting criticism over her leadership. Rob, is this a clip or is this? Yes. Go ahead, Rob. Yeah, just speaking with some folks who have a lot of knowledge of this situation, I'm told the president spoke with Christy Noem just before that true social post went out, which means that when she was on camera giving her remarks and didn't actually touch on what had just happened,
Starting point is 01:32:30 she was aware of what was happening. I'm further told that Corey Lewandowski is expected to leave with her. Of course, the rumors of an affair between the two were one of the factors that I'm told compelled the president to remove her as DHS secretary. both of them are married and she had faced questions about her alleged affair during testimony on the Hill this week under oath she did not deny it she called the reports garbage but she never denied sexual relations with Cory Lewandowski and I'm told that he's expected to leave his post as a special government employee and advisor to her when she departs the Department of Homeland Security and the replacement's gonna be who
Starting point is 01:33:11 it's gonna be Mark Wayne Mullen which he's a tough guy, right? I mean, there's a lot of clips. You want to play a couple of the clips, maybe play one of the clips that he just, well, we played the clip that he had with Bernie Sanders last week. This is him and who? Sean O'Brien? Yes. Go ahead. His reputation is. Everybody knows this here. And it's here and it's here. I kind of had a back and forth. I appreciate your demeanor today. It's quite different. But after you left here, you got pretty excited about the keyboard. In fact, you tweeted at me one, two, three, four, five times. And let me read what the last one said.
Starting point is 01:33:48 It said, greedy CEO who pretends like he's self-made. Sorry, I wish he was in the truck with me when I was building my plumbing company, myself, and my wife was running the office because I sure remember working pretty hard and long hours. Pretends like he's self-made. What a clown. Fraud. Always has been. Always will be.
Starting point is 01:34:12 Quit the Tough Guy Act in these Senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, any time, any time, cowboy. Sir, this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth? Yeah. We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.
Starting point is 01:34:27 Okay, that's fine. Perfect. You want to do it now? I'd love to do it right now. Well, stand your butt up then. You stand your butt up. Oh, hold it. Stop it.
Starting point is 01:34:35 Is that your solution every poll? No, no, sit down. You're a cloud. Sit down. You know, you're a United States. You're a United States. You can do it. got the position over Christy,
Starting point is 01:34:44 and she got a different job, Rob. I don't know what the job is. Envoy, what's the job for? I am pleased to announce that highly respect the United States Senator, Greater Oklahoma. Mark Wayne Mullen will become U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, effect on March 301st, 2026. The current Secretary, Christine,
Starting point is 01:35:01 whom served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results, especially on the board. It will be moving to the special envoy for the shield of the Americas, our new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere. we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Christy for service at Homeland. Okay. Vinny, thoughts?
Starting point is 01:35:18 I mean, is this the second firing of somebody higher up? I know Mark Wayne Mullen, but I believe he's the guy that was talking about and basically saying it was okay that Michael Byrd shot and killed Ashley Babette on January 6th, as if she deserved it. That's the same guy. I mean, he is tough, and yeah, he's a tough guy. I'm not a fan when he said something like that. But in regard to her, Pat, there was a New York Times story that said, Homeland Security,
Starting point is 01:35:44 Christine Hone told Congress that Donald Trump personally approved $220 million DHS advertising campaign that prominently featured her in the Board of Security and Immigration ads, which, you know, that's with all the stuff that's happening, with all the people that are struggling, with all the affordability and all that, you're spending that much stuff to promote what, to promote you? Not all the money was spent on her. Not all the money was spent on her. Not all the money was spent. You're talking about, you know, portion is going to be spent on.
Starting point is 01:36:10 She is the face. She is the face. So they're probably going to use that. Yes. In the clips. But I don't know if all that money was spent on her. Probably not at her at the hearing. Trump denied authorizing the campaign and removed no.
Starting point is 01:36:21 And that's one of the reasons. But the fact that the Cory Lewandalski thing, everybody, like those rumors, everybody talks about them. Everybody knows about it. She's married and he's married. And this is just, and I know we're going to get into the story later about what Washington is and what these people are all about. I think it's disgusting.
Starting point is 01:36:38 And the fact that it'll let it go on this long and you put her in front of her performance, if that's what you want to call it, was abysmal, Tom. Did you see? I want you to add something. I'm not going to add. I'll let you add it. So they ask her that question about having an affair, about all that. And then what do they do a day and a half later? What do they vote not to release?
Starting point is 01:36:57 They vote 357 members of the House voted against Nancy Mace's bill that would have released all the sexual harassment and sexual misconduct reports. of members of Congress. And the settlements that were paid with taxpayer dollars. Yeah, taxpayer dollars. Here's 10 grand, signed a non-disclosure, leave, and all this. You know what? If we have to remove people for drinking and affairs, we don't have a working government. Yep.
Starting point is 01:37:23 You're right. Absolutely right. Tom, and that's why? So it's just hypocrisy. It's the game of gotcha, and it's just hypocrisy. And by the way, it's a rumor. They're alleging this against Secretary Nome, now leading America Shield and Corey Lewandowski, who's apparently going to be leading.
Starting point is 01:37:38 leaving according to certain reports. You know what? You know what? Those are allegations. Nobody knows. What's the real thing? The real thing is how did she do her job? What's happened to the border?
Starting point is 01:37:47 And where's she going now? Right? And if you're going to put this standard up, like I said, we don't have a working government. Yeah, because don't get me wrong, Pat. The border closed. If she's the board, she's not the border czar, but she's in charge of compare her to Alejandro Majorcas,
Starting point is 01:38:01 night and day. Don't she do, though, if you think about our job, guys, she shut down the border. No, I love it. I'm saying, oh, all I'm giving her for it. As the job, I absolutely love. I love the job. Check.
Starting point is 01:38:12 I'm not going to lie, though. There's a clip that I sent Rob. I don't like this shift now because of all the backlash, which was all, you know, orchestrated to make us, make them look like they were, you know, Gestapo and stuff. Hey, Trump came out, Rob. I slacked you the clip. This is Trump. This is Trump now saying, Pat, that the illegals, it's like, it's okay if they work hard and they were here. And mind you, let me say this.
Starting point is 01:38:33 I think that there needs to be a process put in that if you have been here for five or 10 years and you haven't brought. broken the law. There's a process that you talked about this, Pat, about paying attacks and all that stuff. But the shift is now, you know, they remove 700 agents out of Minnesota. So to me, that's backing, giving them the victory. Okay. And then just as Trump's talking about the recap about what he wants to do with the illegals now. Go ahead, Rob. Many countries opened up their prisons and dropped them into the United States. Those are the people are getting out. And we have a lot of heart. They said, you've got to lighten up on this. Got to lighten up. We have a lot of heart for people. They came in illegally, but they're good people, and they're working now on farms, and they're working in luncheons and hotels and all.
Starting point is 01:39:16 And we're not looking to get the criminals out right now, the criminals. And... But that's the shift of... I think it's very important. The thing was, anybody that is here illegally needs to go. That was the initial message, and everybody was on board. 78% of Americans were like, let's go.
Starting point is 01:39:34 And 90% of Republicans, like, that's what we want. So it's like weird. That clip is from last year, though. Yeah, last year. But what I'm saying is it's still like, it's still happening to where you're, you know, she's getting fired because of the image. But the job, the job that she's doing is amazing. There's been how many crossings, Rob, zero, zero illegal crossings.
Starting point is 01:39:53 I have a complete different perspective on this. Yeah. If you're married and you get offered a job like this and you're, you know, like, imagine what your schedule is like right now working with Trump. What do you think your schedule's like? Bananas. What do you think? What do you think you're doing?
Starting point is 01:40:09 What do you think you're at? What do you think you're traveling to? What do you think you're doing? Late nights. No, it's 24-7. It's 24-7. Your phone's on. Seven.
Starting point is 01:40:18 Non-stop. Sleep on airplanes. You literally have no life. It's not a job for everybody. And there's an impact on your personal life. A lot of these guys, when they get in, I mean, we're going to see the news 12 months later, 18 months later, what's going to happen with a husband and wife. if there's anything there.
Starting point is 01:40:35 But there's a difference between being a governor of a state and you come home to your family every night and you're a one hour flight away, two hour flight away from coming home because you're running what? South Dakota? I think is that where she was? And Rob, am I saying it correctly, South Dakota?
Starting point is 01:40:50 If I'm, I believe I'm saying it correctly. Yeah, there's a difference between that and versus having a job like this where you're on the road. That is a very, very hard job. When I was in the Army, I wanted to go 18 Delta because I spoke five languages. And they said before you do 18 Delta to, you know, go become special forces, go interview with them to see if you want the life or not. I went and did the interview and they said, how you want to live?
Starting point is 01:41:13 He says, look, he says, hey, Jackson, how many marriages? I'm on my fourth. Yourself. Three. You. Three. You second. But we're about to get a divorce.
Starting point is 01:41:23 That's what he did. He says, but let me tell you the stories and the things we've done is absolutely amazing. We saved the food. You got to love this job more than anything. else you do. This is a very, very, very heavy job that it's not for the average person. Not saying she's average, but there's a lot of consequences of getting a job like this. Adam. Well, I'll give you my take. It's about time Trump fired somebody. Whoever it was, we need a shake-up. You can't rest on your laurels. And if you look at the cabinet that he's
Starting point is 01:41:51 put together, in my opinion, she was one of the first to be in the chopping block, her or maybe Pam Blondie. But you got Pete Hegg's secretary of war crushing it right now. Rubio, maybe the best ever. Scott Bessent doing great. Lutnik with the tariffs. We'll see where that goes. Obviously, you have Bobby Kennedy doing his thing. So, in my opinion, she had a tough job, and she's a pretty face, and you have to put lipstick on a pig sometimes.
Starting point is 01:42:16 He thought you'd put a pretty girl in there and make everything look nice. This is an ugly job. Tom Holman, getting people shut down the border, getting people out of the country. This is not an easy job. And in my opinion, he looked at her and he goes, all right, pretty girl, tough job. maybe we can put lipstick on a pig, make this thing look a little prettier than it will be, and nobody cared.
Starting point is 01:42:38 So now he brings in this tough guy, Mark Wayne Mullen, and he's going to get stuff done. So it's time to get serious with ice. You know, you can put N in front of the word ice and call it nice, but it's not nice. People, I agree with Vinny, there should be a pathway for citizenship for the vast majority of these people.
Starting point is 01:42:55 But the criminals got to go, the illegal aliens that are not supposed to be, got to go, this is what we voted for. That's my opinion. way this guy mark wean mullen do you know where he went viral do you remember when pete higseth was being uh accused of not being prepared to be the secretary of defense of war yes rob i sent you this and he starts he's like really talking about sexual misconduct this is the perfect callback when he goes how many people in here don't drink on the job how many people in here we're doing
Starting point is 01:43:26 votes go out and do a little happy hour and come back give me a break give me a joke is what yelled out. Do you have that? This is what put him on the map. Afghanistan, where 13 soldiers died and we left thousands of Americans behind underneath Secretary Austin's lead. Did one person, did one person get held accountable during that time? I don't know if anybody got held accountable for Afghanistan withdrawal. But let's talk about that. Let's talk about that. Let's talk about the turmoil to which are my colleagues on the other side of the Dias wants to talk about. Let's talk about that term rule.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Under the Secretary Austin, who is a general, by the way. You might need to go forward when he talks about the lower-round measure. He's talking about the drinking part. We can't watch the whole thing. But I remember it. But all about that. Has she not done a good job? But let's be honest, I think she's done a good job.
Starting point is 01:44:18 When your personal life and the traveling and stuff and you can't stay faithful, and that's the image, that's when you got to go. She did. By the way, she was doing a fantastic job. I feel safer with her behind the reins, but her being the, Alejandro Majorcas, the border is secure. when you knew he was lying. The border was wide open.
Starting point is 01:44:37 But now when you're cheating, when you're cheating on your husband, allegedly, he's cheating on his wife, and he's been in the, you know, rumors by him and hooking up with chicks all the time, that's a bad look on the administration.
Starting point is 01:44:49 The job is good, bro. The job is fine because Trump's given the orders. Close the border. Easy money. Get rid of the criminals. Easy. That's it. I think she's doing a good job.
Starting point is 01:44:58 Here's the question. Christy Noam went viral about a week ago. on this show. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. What's your take on what happened with that interview? Or the firing beam because she was on the show. I don't know. I mean, she went viral because of...
Starting point is 01:45:14 What she went viral for is talking about how they were spying on her. She talked about the story of them being spied on and in her office and Elon Musk helped find out who was spying on her. And that clip was all over the place. But I don't think if that has to do with this. I think a part of this has to do with the... You're talking about this clip. appeared that she had. This was everywhere. Yeah, this was everywhere. But no, this is, this is based on
Starting point is 01:45:37 the hearing. This is based on the hearing. And the way the hearing was done, you have to realize Trump likes people would not having loose lips. You can keep secrets. Trump likes guys that are good on media. They can handle themselves well. He likes guys that know how to fight back, right? Fight back and defend. And you kind of know how to, what's the thing he says? Meneuve. Yeah. And maneuver. Called the weave. Yeah. He likes for you to be able to have that. Stay on message.
Starting point is 01:46:06 Don't get in front of him. If you watch the press conference, you know, between her and Bondi, Bondi was extremely aggressive attacking back. What about you when you did this? What about this? What about this? And what about that? That's Trump style.
Starting point is 01:46:20 And Christy kind of went in in a different style and like almost over explaining herself. And he says, yeah, I don't know about this. We have to kind of move on. My opinion on what happened. And then look, you know, it is. what it is. You got to move on and get to the next thing. And when we met her a few weeks ago in DC, it was when the tensions were already high. Nobody really knew what was going to happen next and it led to this. So let me get to next door here. Next door I want to get to is Nancy Grace. Rob,
Starting point is 01:46:47 you want to play that clip? I mean, Nancy, this kind of leads to that. House kills... Nancy Mays. I'm sorry, Nancy Mays. House kills effort to release all congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports, which is kind of weird, right? The House on Wednesday voted to scuttle an effort by Republican NCMase to shed more light on sexual misconduct allegations against members of Congress, and here's what happened. The vote, by the way, just so you know how close it was, 357 to 65. Wow, that was really close. The House voted to refer the Mace resolution to committee a move that effectively killed. it. Go ahead, Rob. All right. I support Representative Mace's subpoena here as well as the amendment to it.
Starting point is 01:47:38 And I just think it's really disgusting how this institution protects itself because y'all just half of them voted to send this stuff to House ethics where you know it's going to die. We know that members of Congress are using taxpayer dollars to pay off sexual harassment. We just had a member of Congress literally sexually harassed a woman that then lit herself on fire and you guys all protected him. You guys all protected. My own side, your side. And so if you guys want to talk about victims, if you want to go out and virtue signal, and then you guys are going to kill her stuff on the floor
Starting point is 01:48:05 and then try to pass. Yeah, of course, we should subpoena all this stuff. But just I'm not going to sit here and play games. I think it's a complete fraud. I think that's why the American people hate us. I think the midterms are coming up and everyone should go on record for this. And I hope that members are exposed for this.
Starting point is 01:48:17 I hope it goes back, I think, to the 70s because it's wrong that it's happening. It's wrong that we cover up for it. It's wrong that we can't center our own side because people are busy making deals because you guys don't want to center your side. it's a deal that's been cut. People hate us for it. So yeah, I support it.
Starting point is 01:48:31 Tom. Yeah, alcoholics vote against Bill forcing bars to close early. You know, it's like, that's exactly what we have here. This is an embarrassment. This is an embarrassment. And what they're saying, ladies and gentlemen, and this really is so disappointing. This is why the Epstein files aren't out. This is why you have controversies and things don't get out.
Starting point is 01:48:54 Because if you have one moment of transparency, you here. By the way, this is also why we don't have the line item veto. The line item veto, remember they talk about this, Pat? The line item veto would say that you could look inside of a bill and say, wait a minute, this is an inflation reduction act. Why do we have a billion dollars going to Ukraine? How is that going to reduce inflation? That line item comes out of here. So it would force us to be voting on very specific things. But what you have here is you have a corrupt system. And the corrupt system doesn't want to be, have light shown into the dark corners. Because if you show light on this,
Starting point is 01:49:30 guess what? Half these people don't get elected, Pat. We're going into election. How many people do you think not get elected if this comes out? All of what I mean? 357 of them. Now you're not, not, it's no longer allegations of impropriety. It's like, um, Senator O'Shanna, uh, was $40,000 paid to bubbles Jenkins, um, that worked on your staff and, and suppose they had a harassment thing. Bubbles Jenkins. I like that one.
Starting point is 01:49:57 It's like, you know, yeah, that's a private matter. No, the American taxpayer paid $40,000 to bubbles, and we have a non-disclosure agreement. Is this true many? But, Pat, that's what would happen. And what we're hearing about is these are $10,000, even $50,000 settlements that we're hearing about, Pat. And if all of these go out, half these people wouldn't get reelected in the fall because it's no longer an allegation. It would be truth. How does got, like, think about this, guys.
Starting point is 01:50:26 182 Democrats and 175 Republicans said, you know what, we're not going to release it. It's almost bipartisan. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. On that list, just to make a point, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, Jamie Raskin, all these. I don't want to hear any of them. Any of them say one thing ever again about transparency with Epstein.
Starting point is 01:50:49 Ever again, they're voting to protect their own people. And I'm going to quote the late great George Carlin that he said, it's a big club and you ain't in it they all take care of each other they all look out for each other you know who she was talking about you know Omar's protecting somebody because can you picture her sexually harassing someone impossible yeah exactly so
Starting point is 01:51:08 a former stat you know who she was talking about Paulina Luna Pat Republican representative Tony Gonzalez named Regina Santos a Villa she died in September 2025 she set herself on fire in front of her own home in Yuvaldi Texas they ruled due to suicide Later reporting revealed that she had an affair with Gonzalez while working in his office, which violates the House rules.
Starting point is 01:51:30 Okay, text messages show that the congressman asking her for explicit photos. This is all disgusting. And you made the time. Look at the timing. Look at everything that's happening with Epstein, okay, about what they knew and what they didn't know. And this is why, this is why the trust in government, the Gallup poll, 16% of Americans, only 16% trust the government. They cover up everything. You have the DOJ lying about this.
Starting point is 01:51:53 You have them blind. It's, Pat, I've never been this disgusted and disappointed ever in my entire, once I realized what politics was, than this right here. That's a spit in the face. That's us saying, hey, you know, my other's friends on the aisle, we're going to protect you. You protect us and let's keep going. Only 65. How many of them said. And this is protecting the guilty?
Starting point is 01:52:14 Imagine what happens when now you have protecting the guilty like this. And then you're going to have condemnation of the innocent because there's going to be AI comes out in the middle of, um, um, um, elections and it's like wait I never did that I wasn't with that oh no you're on this website you're over here you're doing this just wait we're not going to be able to tell the difference between truth and fiction of course in the mud slinging that is our electoral election system Thomas Massey I want to say last year came out and he was held a piece of paper in congress he came and he said 17 so look at this that was perfect well Robbie thank you 17. 17.2 million was paid out for various workplace disputes from 1997 and 2017 guys in 20 years that's almost a million
Starting point is 01:52:52 almost a million dollars a year, Adam, just for tell people to shut up. And by the way, that's tax dollars. That's our money to keep girls from not saying anything because of the perverts that are in Congress. Okay? This is unbelievable, but it's so, it's infuriating. They're all perverts. It's like Epstein Island and watching. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:53:12 264, that's like half the number of, it's a little under half the number of electoral votes. Call them perverts. By the way, I'm still shocked your surprise by all this stuff. No, I'm not. We expect it. I'm, I'm disappointed and I'm disgusted. I'm not shocked. Because your expectations are here.
Starting point is 01:53:27 No, no. And then reality hits here. But Adam, these are expectations here. What I'm shocked is the vote. The size of the gap is the vote. Guys, they're going to protect themselves. That's like saying, hey, guys, we want to do term limits.
Starting point is 01:53:39 We're going to take a vote. No, there's no vote. Hey, guys, we want to increase our pay. Yeah, we all vote for it. Balance budget amendment, line item veto. No, no, can't have that. But I don't want to hear, but here's my point is I never want to hear. Adam, these are the people making the rules and the laws for me and you to just live our lives.
Starting point is 01:53:56 They're disgusting human beings, Adam. You want to cover up the fact that sexual harassment, Adam, we don't know the level of what they're talking about. Let me try to explain maybe. What? Explain what? Let me explain maybe how politics and power works. Remember the song back in the day from the locks and Lil Kim? She goes, first you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the respect. So you get money, power, respect, and then you got sex drugs and rock and roll.
Starting point is 01:54:21 So what's the famous quote about when someone has money just like power? Money doesn't change someone. It just reveals or amplifies who they already are. So these people take power. If you're a disciplined person that gets stuff done and you're going to be faithful to your wife and not be a total creep, you will be that person when you get money in power. But if you're an impulsive person who's reckless, once you get the money and the power, you're going to do weird things.
Starting point is 01:54:47 And that's what these people are doing. That's my opinion on this. But, Adam, you know what they should be doing? You know what just happened a couple days before? Their job? No, no. Yeah, on top of that. Pat, you saw what Tim Tebow came in front of Congress, sat there and was talking about the renewed hope act.
Starting point is 01:55:01 Pleading for the protection of kids. And Rob, I sent you the photo of this map. Pat, do you mind if I talk about this really quick? So, Representative Lauren Lee, this bill would add more than 200 specialized DHS agents, focus on identifying child victims, prosecuting predators, and working through the massive backlog of cases reported by the National Center for Missing. exploited children. Guys, in 2024 alone, the organization received more than 20.5 million tips and 29.2 million incidents of child sexual abuse. Now, during his testimony, and for you guys,
Starting point is 01:55:34 I haven't seen this, look at this map. He showed this map in front of Congress in the United States more than 300,000, 38,000 red dots. Each dot represents a unique IP address that has been caught trading or distributing child sex abuse material. This is just six months, Pat, okay? Six months. And the majority of this material is child rape material. I hate that I had to say that world. They're watching this daily. And mind you, this is six months. And these aren't, mind you, these, the average offender pat of these people have 13 plus victims in their entire lifetime. Stop it. 13 plus victims, meaning physical victims average in their lifetime.
Starting point is 01:56:16 Tim Tebow did this in front of Congress. Now, the majority of these cases, guys, that you're watching on this map, were children younger than 12. It's the fastest group of child trafficking victims is 12 years old. And we'll start even more. Do you see the blue map? The blue dots, Rob. Go to blue dots. Those are actual investigations, Patrick.
Starting point is 01:56:33 Look at the blue dots. Those are the only investigations happening from all these disgusting demons that were surrounded about. So, Adam, to the point, they're worried about protecting perverts in Washington. This is the problem. Okay, so let me ask you, let me ask you one thing. What? And I'm being dead-ass serious. Okay, go.
Starting point is 01:56:51 If you could only stop one of the two following things, if you could only, Epstein Island or all this, what would you want to see? I think it coincides, Adam. I think it's both. I think it's both. That's a, that's a, I'm not saying it's like a got-shue question, but Adam, these are the same people. And mind you, these are, hold on one second. Let me help you out. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:57:14 This is what the problem is. No, Adam, it's, no, I believe they're both connected. Okay, let me, let me finish. Can I finish? It's sex trafficking. This is, this is the worst. Adam, they're watching children getting raped. These people are watching children get raped and they're getting off on it.
Starting point is 01:57:29 This has nothing to do with Epstein is my point. Yes, it does. There's a, there's a problem in society. Everyone's so focused on Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. We're losing sight that this is the problem. Can I say one thing? That there's millions of Epstein's. Are you ready?
Starting point is 01:57:42 And stories you never hear about. Okay, are you ready for this? And everyone's so focused on Epstein. Let him make this the voice. Adam, you ask a question. And you just go, how do you ask a question? And I go on a- Because I asked you to pick one and you can't do it.
Starting point is 01:57:54 Let him explain. Go ahead, Vinnie. These are six months of people using IP addresses in the United States looking at child rape. I get it. Let me finish. Do you think any of these people in six months are involved with Epstein or have been to the island or new Epstein on these dots?
Starting point is 01:58:10 And just six months. This is all connected. No, this is separate. No, no. Adam. You're saying all these. Are you ready for this? Do you think everybody that's been involved with Epstein?
Starting point is 01:58:19 Everybody. From the Clintons to everybody to that they're not sitting in the United States right now watching child porn. You think because they left, hold on, you think because they left raping or molesting or murdering, cannibalizing these freaking girls that were trafficked? Now when they come here, everything's fine and dandy. Do you know what the iceberg effect is? No, I left Titanic. I know that it sinks to ship. This will help you.
Starting point is 01:58:41 Show an image of the iceberg effect. and in my opinion this is what's going on with Epstein that you only see the top little part of the of the iceberg there you go any one of those and it's probably not the best one okay everyone's so focused on Epstein when the problems go so freaking deep and yes Epstein is a convenient villain
Starting point is 01:59:04 he's also not here to defend himself he's the devil the problem is society has a freaking problem all those little dots hundreds of thousands of them They weren't all on Epstein Island. Okay. It's weirdo creeps in all different types of rooms and cities with their computer. The iceberg effect. Here it is.
Starting point is 01:59:23 Thank you, Rob. You only see 10% of above. This is what you normally see. You say, this is what's going on here, when the real story is 90% below. So in my opinion, Epstein, if you want to put it this way, is the noise. The signal is the 90% that there's creeps in society that we need to focus on. And the real true villain is your boy, Alejandro Mayorkas, that let hundreds of thousands, if not millions of kids,
Starting point is 01:59:51 be exposed to what's going on here. So I don't have, I feel bad for the Epstein victims. I get them, but there's dozens of them, hundreds of them, whatever. There's hundreds of thousands or millions of kids that are dealing with those reds up. Put those red dots up again? If you can, Rob, that's the real problem here. And everyone's so focused on Epstein, and I get it.
Starting point is 02:00:12 It's a great story to talk about, but this is the real problem. But you know why people are focused on Epstein? And to me, it's a trickle down effect. The problem with the Epstein thing is it was going on forever and everybody knew, Adam, that those dot-type people were not only making decisions, one not only involved with pandemic stuff and shadow 9-11 commissions. And I get what you're saying, Adam. We are surrounded by these disgusting demons.
Starting point is 02:00:37 We are surrounded by them. I agree that. And this map is only hitting the ones that are stupid enough. to go online. What about the sophisticated pedophiles, Adam? What about those people? So the argument, I think your argument doesn't match that I'm not even focused on FC. What I'm saying is, Adam, they're everywhere. Okay. They're everywhere. We're saying the same thing. I'm going to get to the next one. To me, to me the difference is one is the guys that have power and they get away with using their power. The other one is the regular day-to-day person that nobody knows that's getting
Starting point is 02:01:07 caught up out there and that's these guys. So both are necessary. There is so many more of them. There is many more of them, but the other guys get away because they have the power. And so they're using it for leverage and effectively, you know, the whole concept with Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, how Mossad, that's a very, very different conversation to have. But I get it. I get the argument both of you guys are making. Gavin Newsom blasted after agreeing with Campbell, California, it's overregular. It seemed like an admission of failure. Rob, do you have that clip? I do. Gavin Newsom and Jimmy Kimmel. And by the way, Rob made a good point. Rob said, he thinks this question that Jimmy Kimmel asked is because of Adam Carolla was asking his question,
Starting point is 02:01:50 so Jimmy kind of duplicated the question. Go ahead, Rob. Why does it take so long to get things built here? I feel like is California overregulated? Because it feels like there are a lot of well-meaning laws, rules, et cetera, that get in the way of building your house, of opening a restaurant. You know, I've experienced this myself. What do we do about that? No, I mean, we need a liberalism that builds, and we have to own that.
Starting point is 02:02:15 And I'm very much part of this sort of new nomenclature we call this abundance agenda. And we've got to reconcile that. We've got to be more focused on time to delivery, not just rhetoric, not just what we're for. We've got to actually deliver and manifest it. That's why this year we did the most significant housing reforms in our state's history. We did something that haven't been done in decades. We've tried to address land use reforms, what we call secret reforms. We weren't able to get it done.
Starting point is 02:02:40 We finally were able to get it done this year in a meaningful way. But this is a meaningful topic for Democrats to recognize we have to deliver on big and bold things. Trump breaks things. Oh, God, here we go. Democrats need to build things. But we have to actually deliver on that promise. Speaking of Trump's reform. In communities across Canada, hourly Amazon employees earn an average of over $24.50 an hour.
Starting point is 02:03:08 Employees also have the opportunity to grow their skills and their paycheck by enrolling in free skills training programs for in-demand fields like software development and information technology. Learn more at aboutamazon.ca. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything, like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline.
Starting point is 02:03:44 It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. That's called a nothing burger. For anybody that knows what a nothing burger is, he asks him why is it so hard, anyone on this diatriop of what we need to do and it ended with Trump. He's the worst. We need more focus.
Starting point is 02:04:09 We need to get things done. Okay. Put a date on it. Show people that you've got it accomplished. And why have you done it? By the way, by the way, the land use reform. be careful. Land use.
Starting point is 02:04:20 Because you've got the coast and you've got Palisades. They want to put high-density, low-budget housing in there. They want to take that land back. You know, a person that works for us here, won't say his name out loud. The family had a home burned down in Altadena. They came back and they got a lot of reports about the materials that are in the soil because when it burns down, it's burning plastics, burning things. tremendous contamination goes into soil
Starting point is 02:04:49 and it gets saturated in there because the fire department comes to take it out and then rains and everything so now the soil is deeply contaminated from the ash and the things that were in that were burning the plastics and everything in your home so then they're like hey you know you we got to do things of the soil here we got to do things
Starting point is 02:05:04 and they're stalled people are stalled they can't get it done they eventually got a house for an older family member across town they had to find another place and it's kind of a fixer-upper And that's a perfect example. That's not an isolated example. This is normal.
Starting point is 02:05:21 And so he's sitting here talking about this. Meanwhile, meanwhile, they're intentionally running legislation and running things in all these names to take the land and reuse it for their own purposes. That's what's happening in Palisage. You can talk to anybody that's out there that gives you chapter and verse. This is the next one here when Rob, which clip is this with Newsom? This is where he talks about Trump in the midterm. Go for it. prediction. Trump is an historic president, historically unpopular. He's going to get crushed,
Starting point is 02:05:50 shellacked in the midterms. He is. He's close. And he knows it. Why else did he call Greg Abbott, saying he's, quote, unquote, entitled to five seats in a mid-decade redistricting. They, of course, obliged in Texas. What Trump thought would follow was maybe a conversation about writing an op-ed in California to try to win the argument as they're consolidating power. Instead, we decided to redraw the lines in over a 90-day period raised $120 million, and we kicked his ass in November and re-grew the lines. And Jimmy, this is an, you know, I know we're all prone to a little hyperbole. This is not hyperbolic. You saw what happened on January 6th, try to wreck the country like democracy on fire, dialed up for 11, 12,000, votes in Baltimore.
Starting point is 02:06:38 It doesn't work anymore. That's exactly what he's doing all across the United States. You can pause right to right. This is not going to work with independence. It's not going to go to Calhi, Rob, to see where it's at. I don't know. I'm always curious on a day-to-day basis where it's at. If you go Calci right now, Democratic 2028, that language with the American people, it's unattractive. You're still bringing up J6. He's at what?
Starting point is 02:07:00 He's at 27. By the way, he was 29 a couple weeks ago, now he's 27. Take a look at the trend line. It's gently rolling down. You see that? Yeah, AOC is 9-2. Shapiro's 3, which Shapiro is the most reasonable one amongst the three. Let me see the list on who's next.
Starting point is 02:07:17 That's $57 million. John Ossoff is 7. Shapiro 7, Kamala Harris, 6, Pritzker 5, Tala Rico, who, you know, he just won recently, if I'm not mistaken. Kelly 4. Democrat nominee for Senate in Texas. Yeah, it's not over yet, but it's still going on. So, yeah, that language is not going to work.
Starting point is 02:07:36 I don't think it's going to work with the independent voters. I agree. And I think the Democrats have to kind of sit there thinking about who the hell is going to get the independence to say this guy's reasonable. What do you think of Shapiro here with this kind of numbers without being on TV every week and without traveling to foreign countries the way that Gavin does? Shapiro... Let me ask you a question.
Starting point is 02:07:56 You think America is ready for a Jewish, white Democratic president? I don't think so. Nope. You think America's ready for it? No. That's the part you got to be thinking about. No, and as a Jew, I'm telling you, that we're not there yet. Not.
Starting point is 02:08:09 Also, a straight white man is probably not going to be the guy in the Democratic Party. What if he says once in high school he liked a boy? Then that'll garner some of my. Can I tell you what I think is Adam? Adam is because America's never forgiven the Jews for the Titanic. That's true. Thank you for that. Goldberg, Silverberg.
Starting point is 02:08:29 But you know what it is, Pat? When I see Gavin News, Gavin Newsome, it was like a racist, anti-Semitic dad joke, all in one. Thanks, bro. It's an ancient bar joke. But you know who it's your favorite position on the football team? The quarterback, you know? Right, bingo. But in regard to Gavin Newsom, and I hope, I mean, because I'm hoping with the Democratic Party, which is crazy, he wants to be the president, but look at the resume.
Starting point is 02:08:53 He's almost like a pet shop owner. This is Gavin Newsom. He's a pet shop owner that let every animal in his pet shop die, but now he's asking for the keys to the zoo. He wants to run the zoo. And it's like, bro, you suck at just taking care of goldfish. You want the entire zoo. Goldberg also. Govurg.
Starting point is 02:09:09 But I just think, I just hope, and I have to hope, that the, the, the,. voters that are on that side that are just anti us, anti the other side, realize what he is. He's a snake in the grass. He is probably going to go down as the worst governor in the history of the country. That's not, Tom, that's not just a small, who else would you put up there? But he's a gifted politician. Tim Walz, I'd put Tim Walz up there.
Starting point is 02:09:31 Tim Walz is up there, but that says a lot. I'll give you my take on Gavin. So this comes down to winning and losing, just like politics is. So you remember in the movie, uh, white men can't jump one of the, the greatest movies of all time. You have Wesley Snipes and you have Woody Harrelson. One of the greatest movies that we like. That we lie. One of the greatest movies
Starting point is 02:09:51 of all time. I don't care what you're saying. So you got Woody Harrelson and you got Wesley Snipes. And you got Billy Ho. And you got Billy and you got Cindy Dean. And Rosie pray. You're so stupid Billy. And he says this. Woody Harrison. He goes, would you rather win or look good? Because in my opinion, this is what Woody Harrelson says to Sidney Dean. He says, I'd rather look bad and win,
Starting point is 02:10:15 you'd rather look good and lose. The Democratic Party is all about looking good and they get the hair and do your little leg thing and they'd rather look good and they have horrible policies and everybody's losing when they come into power versus Trump, it's ugly, it's messy, but like DJ Khaled, all he does is win.
Starting point is 02:10:37 So that's what it comes down to. So do you want to win? Even if you look ugly or do you want to lose and try to put lipstick on a pig and look pretty. In my opinion, Trump talks about winning so big. You're going to get sick of winning right now. America is winning. And if Gavin Newsom shows up, get ready to hold that L.
Starting point is 02:10:54 I can set myself aside from his personality the way he is and political differences and say, okay, let's set that aside. I respect strategy. Even an enemy of mine, if I'm going up against me, when I see the strategy, I'm like, good for you. What a great. I don't understand the strategy.
Starting point is 02:11:19 You're bringing up J6. You're bringing up. I don't understand what is the, you have to recreate yourself. You know, last night, I'm talking to one of my sons. It's late at night. It's rarely it's just he and I talking because, you know, typically it's both of them when we're going to sleep, but one of them is out of town in Idaho, out of all places.
Starting point is 02:11:41 But anyways, so I'm speaking to him, and he says, Dad, sometimes you call people low identity or high identity. What's the difference? What's the difference between low identity and high identity? So you kind of put your own to somebody. I said, low identity, it's always someone else's fault. It's bitter. It's you can't improve yourself. You know, you're somehow, some way you don't have the right instincts.
Starting point is 02:12:04 You always find yourself in bad situations because you can't read people while. You can't read situations. well, high identity is in the mode of constantly recreating themselves. We had a client yesterday, massive company that we eventually became owners of this company. They have 400 employees, 300 employees, grew the company from negative $300,000 in EBITDA to $14.9 million in EBIT. I'm sitting there yesterday for them. I'm doing a two-hour engagement with this company, very successful company.
Starting point is 02:12:31 And they had a team of nine people, eight people in the room, and we start measuring podcast, YouTube channels over the years and how when we got first started and you know we had took us a thousand subscribers two years later we barely had a thousand subscribers and we sized everybody up we had charts looking at all the numbers seeing what these guys are doing those guys are doing i said i shut down the channel three times and one time i shut it down for three months tom you remember this yep and i said the only reason i shut down the channel three times is because we had to find a way to recreate ourselves we had to find a way to recreate ourselves You don't see that with this.
Starting point is 02:13:09 You have an opportunity to go away. Go watch Count of Monte Cristo. Come back a different candidate. You sound the same as three years ago, four years ago, five years ago. You think independents are going to want to root for you? I don't think so. Do you think this is just an enemy of Republicans? You already have the Democrats.
Starting point is 02:13:28 You don't need the Democrats. You need the independents to win. He doesn't have it. I don't know why he's doing what he's doing, but it is what it is. if he ends up becoming their leading candidate and America's doing half decent and there's a lot of victories. Marco Rubio is probably going to be a president.
Starting point is 02:13:42 Hope so. 2028 if it continues this way. Rob, where is that story with Anthropic? About the sentient. Do you have that story of Anthropic here in the notes? Guys, this is a crazy story if we have it to go to it. Is it on any of these pages? I'm trying to find this.
Starting point is 02:13:58 I think this would be a good last story to finish off on. I don't have the, I have Anthropical. being designated a supply chain risk by the Pentagon. That is in here, but I don't have that. Yeah, it's a different story. You're looking for the anthropic response from the CEO yesterday after. No, the story I'm looking at. We'll find it.
