I think I've ever said this before.

Okay, guys, we are officially live. We're doing an emergency podcast because of what's going on with Israel Iran. A lot of you guys asked about it. We said I wasn't able to do it yesterday. We had a whole executive team all day, and then last night took my daughters out to dinner for what was our date night because of Senna's birthday. So happy birthday, Senna. Daddy loves you, baby. But there's a lot of stuff going on. So a lot of different things going on. I'll give you some of the stats here on what happened with –

with the war. So Iran, Israel, Israel attacks Iran. Okay. Israel kills 78 people, Iranians, a mix of senior IRGC commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians to over two, 320,000,

while they did this. Okay, this is per Iran's UN ambassador given that report. Israeli casualties, three. Civilians killed because Iran retaliated. Missiles, drone strikes on Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and nearby areas. At least 22 to 43 injured based on the reports that they're given. What a wide range.

including both civilians and soldiers. On top of that, when you think about who was taken out, this is the biggest thing as they're going back and forth with this. Top Iranian commanders killed. The head of the IRGC killed, okay, commander-in-chief. He's been there since 2019. So this is a legit guy, six years, not a newer guy. That's Major General Hossein Salami. And then Major General Mohammad Baghari. He's the chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, dead.

Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, out. He's the head of the IRGC Aerospace Force, responsible for missiles and drone system. Major General Ghulam Ali Rashid, commander on Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, overseeing major military operations, killed.

Ali Shamkhani, former secretary around superior Supreme National Security Council and senior advisor to Supreme Leader Khamenei, killed. Six scientists killed. One, Fereydoun Abbasi Davani, former head of the Atomic Energy Organization, very experienced. Mohamed Mehdi Tahranchi, noted physicist and university rector. And then other high-level military losses, Davoud Khamenei,

Shahi Khayyam, IRGC aerial command in chief, Tahir Pur, commander of IRGC drone units, and up to 20 senior IRGC commanders in total were killed. This is what's happened roughly in the last 48 hours. It's nasty. It's not pretty. Both sides are saying a lot of different things. There's a clip of Netanyahu that comes out.

and saying they're going to attack for as long as it takes. So it's not like this is a two-day thing. Rob, if you want to play this clip, go for it. Watch this here. Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.

For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction. They've backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs. Nine. In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before. Steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. And if not stopped,

Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year, it could be within a few months, less than a year. This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival. Eighty years ago, the Jewish people were the victims of a Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a victim of a nuclear Holocaust perpetrated by the Iranian regime. Now, as Prime Minister,

I've made it clear time and again, Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel backs those words with action. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb.

We also struck at the heart of Iran's ballistic missile program. Rob, how long is this? Last year, Iran fired 300 ballistic missiles at Israel. We can pause it right now. We got the idea. And by the way, Khamenei responded and he said, Iran's supreme leader says, this is according to Reuters, Israel initiated the war. Okay, that's what Khamenei is saying.

And Supreme Leader Khamenei stated on Friday that Israel initiated a war and said it will not be allowed to do a hit-and-run attack without grave consequences. The Zionist regime, Israel, will not remain unscathed from the consequences of its crime. Iranian nation must be guaranteed that our response will not be half-hearted.

This has all taken place again in the last 48 hours. Tom, your thoughts on what's going on here? Well, the first thing is I think the whole world saw this coming when – and maybe we were all being astroturfed or gaslit when they were saying, well, they won't negotiate and negotiations are breaking down. But it sure seemed that Trump was being honest and straight up and saying he wanted to negotiate and he didn't want to get into any of this.

And I said it on a Thursday podcast that at some point in time, Israel can't be kept on the leash. And it's a combination of I'm doing it and we can say don't, but they're off the leash.

And this is not a strike. A strike is where you launch a couple cruise missiles and you take out a general in his car on the back of an airport. That's a strike. This is an action. This is an ongoing action. And I think Israel took the step that a lot of people in the West wanted them to take. We did not want necessarily the war, but we don't want the nuclear power and we're

So the step was taken and this action is now ongoing. But Brandon, your thoughts. Yeah. So there's two camps here. One camp is saying that's a great thing that our hitting Iran this way. You know, it's a really impressive military attack where we were able to like precisely hit the military leaders, precisely hit the nuclear sites and the scientists. And that's awesome. And,

the Iranian regime definitely should be taken out. The world would definitely be a better place without this regime in place because it's, you know, massively destabilized Middle East and Iran could be a great place if this regime gets taken down. Then the other camp of people saying like, oh, this is terrible because the U.S. can get dragged into this and could be a forever war again. It costs us trillions of dollars last time. So, I mean, I see both those things, but I think the

best way this could be carried out is by getting the people of Iran to revolt against the government themselves because surveys show that 60% of the people in Iran want government change, want a regime change. So

I think that these attacks are fantastic, like the way they did it with precision, like low casualty rates, because like the last thing we need is for the population of Iran to turn like hostilely against the West, because if they're against the government more so than the West, then I think we could get this done from the inside rather than having to do it from the outside. Vinny, thoughts?

Well, I mean, Bibi's been wanting this war since 1992. He's on camera multiple times saying Iran's three to five years away from having a nuclear weapon. He did it again in 2000, 2001, 2010. It just – he said it multiple times, multiple times, so he got it. And –

It's kind of interesting that a couple weeks ago, Mike Waltz was in a cabinet meeting, and he was on an Israeli signal app with the leaked text that was saying, like, basically trying to push us to –

Go to war with Iran. That's why he got fired. He had to come down. And that's where that relationship with Trump and him got a little bit dicey. Listen, I'm happy that Trump's attitude was like, hey, listen, you want the war. You want to go fight. Go do it. You want everybody else to be involved. You feel threatened. You have nuclear...

Allegedly, you have a bunch of nuclear weapons. You're very, very strong. You have the IDF. You have the Mossad. Go for it. You know what I mean? Hopefully it doesn't get wild and crazy. The only thing that bothers me, Pat, and this has been going all over the Internet. Charlie Kirk said it. Graham Allen said it. Laura Loomer's been hinting at it. They're like, hey, everybody, be careful this week. You know, with this no-kings protest, everybody be careful. Iran's going to attack. Iran's going to attack. The only thing that I'm worried about, Pat, and a lot of people out there, because I know this is what's going to happen.

An attack is going to happen on United States soil. Thomas Holman said it. Everybody's been wanting it. We know. We know what the border was about, besides the drugs and the children and all this shit. They have terrorists in this country 100% that because we're not all in with Israel, God forbid something happens here.

And whoever it is says, hey, that's Iran. They're going to force Trump's hand because the only way to get America behind this is when stuff happens here. 9-11 happened here. Everybody, me included, I was in the military. Let's go and kill everybody. And then we found out, wait a minute, they don't have the nukes and everything. That's the only fear for me, Pat. I'm good for Israel. They're doing it strategically. They're not blanket bombing everything and flattening it. My only thing is I don't want zero nuclear.

Americans involved in Zero Americans to Die, period. Adam. There's so much to unpack here, but what I would like to start off with saying is, you know how DJ Khaled has a famous meme? It's like, congratulations, you played yourself. You ever heard him do that? That's how I feel the whole relationship with Trump and Netanyahu and what they've done to the media. In my opinion, Trump and Netanyahu have been coordinated on this entire process.

Marco Rubio came out and made a statement and basically said, yeah, we knew exactly what was happening. So if you've been following history, they've been doing these nuclear talks with Iran for years. They had a bad deal under Obama. Trump unwinded them. They've been going back and forth for the last 60 days, almost pretending to have talks. Now, if you know anything about the Ayatollahs and the mullahs in Iran, talk is cheap. The only thing they respond to is actions. So Trump, as of like February,

72 hours ago was basically like, yeah, we've done nothing. Nothing has happened. Essentially, they disrespected me and no deal has been in place. So in my opinion, they already have the green light. When this deal doesn't get done...

Get everybody out of the embassies. Did they not remove everybody out of the embassies 48 hours ago? And they give the green light to Israel. All right, if this is what you want to do, go for it. We're quote unquote not involved whatsoever, wink, wink. And that's what's happening. So everyone in Israel is amazingly proud. I had dinner with two IDF soldiers last night. Randomly, they were sitting next to me. They go, hey, I recognize you from PPD. I go, where are you guys? And

Did you serve in the IDF yet? How do you feel about this? They go, you have no idea. We are so proud. We are so proud. Because Israel has been, Iran has been warning Israel, chanting death to Israel, death to America forever. And so people think that that just started. This war has been going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth like this since October 7th. So there's a lot of proud people in Israel today. And you know who the proudest people are in the world today, if you ask me?

Have you seen the videos of the people of Iran screaming with pure joy and excitement that somebody is going to do something to end the regime in Iran? The happiest people in the world today are the Iranian people. Because make no mistake about it, there's a big difference between the Iranian regime and the Iranian people. Yeah. So look, as you're going through this and watching everything that's taking place, my opinion is very simple.

Everybody has, it falls in different categories. And let me kind of walk you through what different categories they fall under. You either have a, you're either a true believer,

You're either a emotional person that someone caused you to believe what you believe in today, or you're a logical player. Okay? But you fall under three different categories. And the last category, you know what the last category is? I don't give a shit about this. That's the last category. I don't care about this. I don't care what happens. I don't follow it. All I care about is the fact that yesterday, OKC tied it.

and I'm glad the fact that, you know, the Panthers are tied 2-2 with the Oilers. Okay, we were at the game, we saw Vince Vaughn, all these other guys and players were sitting right next to Conor McDavid's family. We're hanging out with Wayne Gretzky, son, family, all this. That's all I care about. I don't care about this political stuff. Let's set that person aside for a second. You're probably not going to be watching this podcast anyway if you're party number four, but

But let's talk about the first three, okay? The true believer. The two IDF soldiers you had dinner with last night, they're true believers, okay? The true believer. Somebody that went to war, you know, on what do you call it, 9-11, hey, we'll go, and it's like, yeah, that's the true believer, right? That I was in it. I experienced this. That's the true believer, that they went through it. Then you have the emotional people that got caught in. You all of a sudden are woke right. Israel sucks, right?

And Netanyahu is the second coming of the Antichrist. This is the right. And all you're doing is you're just following what you hear on Twitter. Or you're the, you know, it's, oh, my God, this is done. All these people getting killed. You know, I just, you know, we got to take them out. Take out the Iranians and take out Khamenei and take those guys out. We need regime change. But you're part of the emotional side. I'll be very transparent with you guys where I lie on this, okay, with you.

Iran and Israel. I lived in Iran, as you know, 11 years, and I saw what it was like, and I saw what Iran was like previous to that. It's very weird. Today, President Trump turned 79 years old. And you know what else happened? The revolution happened in 1979. I'm a guy with numbers. So revolution happened in 1979. Trump is 79 years old today. Today is Army's 250-year anniversary in the U.S., okay?

and we just got a report that they're doing a no-kings protest. We just got the report that they're doing in Miami, and they're doing it right here in Fort Lauderdale. We just got that report. 1,500 cities. We found that they're doing it here, and they're trying to impose fear and all this other stuff. I was having a conversation with one of my guys yesterday, and one of my favorite guys in the insurance company. I'm about to host a pretty big meeting on a lot of good things that's going on there.

But I said, you know, one thing that's very weird that's happened ever since I'm no longer there. What's that? This language has changed. What do you mean? I don't remember me ever training you guys to live in a life with fear based. What is this fear language? What is this fear language? Oh, my God, what if they do this? And what if they do that? What if they do this? Pivot. Go call your audible. But this like seeping in of, oh, my God, I'm afraid I'm this. This is freaking America.

What the hell are we talking about? We became what we became because we didn't fear UK. We're like, no, we're going to stand up. That was tough. That was really tough. We're going to go find a new entire land and build our own company. What are you talking about? Yeah, how are you going to do it? Private jet? No, a freaking ship. You mean to tell me you guys didn't take planes? No. So imagine ships being made.

During that time and you're going from one side to the other side. What is the risk that's scary? Imagine you're on the ship. You got many days All these sounds with wood and all this stuff they're not making a stuff based on high-end technology and you have the faith to go all the way across and then you build the greatest Country in the world that's about to turn 250 years old next year. This is a miracle. I

America is based on faith, values, principle, confidence, leadership, principles on freedom, faith. We believe in God. We believe he's on our side. We believe this is going to happen. And then all of a sudden we're like, oh, my God, what if they do this and what if they do that and what if they do that? Stop it already. Stop it already. You know, if they're going to do something and they scare the crap out of us, then we're falling for it.

You know, if you really claim you believe in God and you have faith, what happened when they were in the storm and everybody was panicking? It's like, what are you guys doing? Did you not remember that part in Bible study or when you went to church? What was that message about? Everybody was panicking, right? And this is when leaderships rise. So for me, as a person that was born in Iran, yes, I can't stand this regime. Yes, they've called the only thing that's been persistent and consistent is the following.

When the Shah was in Iran, did Israel already exist? Yes. Yes or no? Was Israel causing chaos? Was there war in the Middle East? Let me say this one more time. When Iran was ran by the Shah, what year was the Shah of Iran? What years did he run Iran?

53 through 79, I think. Okay, 53 is the oil consortium, so 54 is the oil consortium. 41 to 79. Because he started at 21 years old. Young man, right? 41 to 79. When did Israel become a nation? 48. Okay, so check this out. Why is it that between 48 to 79, while the Shah was the king of Iran, running Iran, why is it for 31 years there is no major war in the Middle East? Why is that?

So to the people that want to say it's all Israel's fault, how come there wasn't that in Iran for 31 years? I'm curious. Answer that question for me. And why is it from 79, when the Mullahs, the Hezbollahs, the IRGC, all these guys, the Khomeinis, all of them took over, why has there been chaos in the Middle East since 79? Whose fault is that? America's been consistent.

Yes, I know America wanted the oil from Iran. And yes, I know UK wanted it and MI6 and CI and all this stuff. And yes, also I'm aware that there

The Shah didn't trust Israel. The Shah didn't trust, you know, what they were doing with media and finance and the ambition and the level and the control and the influence and all that stuff. He knew what was going on there. He wanted to compete with them. He didn't see himself as a victim. He's like, we're going to be doing the same thing. And they're like, wait a minute, this guy's too ambitious and he thinks he can go up against all of us. Let's take this guy out. We need chaos in the Middle East. Oh shit. Even Israel being involved, let's just say for Iran and the Shah falling, there is chaos down in the Middle East. On who though?

On who did that? So yeah, for me, the most consistent thing behind the chaos in the Middle East has been Iran. That's just the reality of it.

So we can say whatever we want to say. That's a fact on what's happened there. Now, since then, what has happened to Israel? They've gotten more powerful. They've gotten better relationship. They've gotten more contact, you know, contacts and more money and more resources. And they're more connected in different places. And, you know, all this other stuff. They've controlled Hollywood, which means the messaging and all the movies is controlled by them and all that. Yes, they did that. Guess what?

That was their strategy on what they did. And they won in that area. Other people could have done it, but they had the vision of saying, we believe Hollywood's one way to persuade the entire world. And, you know, a big part of that is maybe they learned from another guy.

where they would ever see and you know the story about titanic you know who was the first producer of titanic you know someone named uh hitler do you know the first titanic was adolf hitler he produced it the first movie go go pull up titanic first titanic who funded the first titanic not 79 the first one first who funded the first titanic movie the nazis the nazis it's not 1997 the first one okay

The first one. The first one, 1943 film, was funded by the Nazi regime through its production company, UFA. It was a propaganda film to depict British characters as villains and highlight fiction, officer as a hero, and the film was overseen by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda. So guess what? Germany realized the way to get people to think Nazi soldiers are good is through a movie. And what did Israel's like? Oh, you're going to play this game? We're going straight to Hollywood because it works.

And, you know, that doesn't mean it's good, bad. It's just it's an effective way of doing it. Hitler used it for his own reasons. And Israel's like, we're going to use it to tell our story of what happened with Israel. And here's who we are. Hey, you know what? Other people could have done that. They did that. And then you bring it to today. Right.

When Netanyahu said, I'm telling you, if we go Saddam Hussein, Iraq, da-da-da-da-da, and I'm watching the way he's doing it again, right? Man, he knows how to sell fear porn. He knows how to sell that so well. And by the way, that's an art. He knows how to sell it. Watch this clip here. Go for it.

that Saddam is seeking and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons. No question whatsoever. Okay, you can pause that right there. Now watch this. Yesterday we're having this, and I'll turn it over to you guys here. Yesterday we're having this training for our executive team with Dale Carnegie's team. We brought him in here to train our guys. We do this quarterly, if not every six months. But we brought him here yesterday. You know what's one of the quotes that he said? Here's one of the quotes that the guy said yesterday. He says, oh, I hope I find this.

I have to say this quote. Oh, it's such a powerful quote. Are you kidding me? What happened? He says the quote, he says, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, Tom, tell me if you remember this quote. He says, there's nothing. Oh, he says, there's not. He says, when you, when you give your opinion in a way of it being a fact,

you know you're you're you're manipulating the audience in other words i can't find it i have it if you want an opinion disguised as a fact is an invitation for an argument did you see that an opinion disguised as a fact is an invitation for what an argument he gave his opinion as a fact is an invitation for an argument replace the argument with war a war yeah you

You understand what I'm saying? So he's also been a player in causing this mayhem. So I'm not sitting here telling you, you know, what I do know is if Israel is able to single-handedly do this without us getting involved, great. Here's the problem, though. Here's the problem. And I told this story to Taylor the other day at the hockey game. You remember this. So it's the last time I went to a nightclub.

where I went partying, was Highlands in Hollywood. Some of my friends will remember this. I remember. I'm saying I know the club. Yeah. So we go there one night, and one of our friends is there, good-looking guy, Arby. Always dated beautiful girls. And we walk in. His girl left him for a guy, and it was nasty. It wasn't pretty. And I'm there with another hothead and a calm guy and a couple other guys that just want to go find some girls. And Arby's girlfriend is all of a sudden there. And...

He says, I want to go say hi to her. And we're like, you don't need to do that. So no, I just want to go say hi to her. I said, I'm telling you, you don't need to do that. He says, I'm just going to go say hi to him. We're like, dude, if a fight breaks out and we're not in, walks up to her and we're looking from a distance. So imagine you're like 30 feet away and it's loud. You can't hear, but you're seeing body language. And we're all just looking, looking, looking. And then all of a sudden a guy shows up, taller guy, 6'1", 6'2", whatever.

He shows up, and they start talking, and you all of a sudden, yeah, yeah, yeah, like this. I look at a couple of my friends. I'm like, here we go. You know what happens? Pushing, shoving, we go in, beer bottles being thrown, punches being thrown, cops come to arrest us. I said, listen, man, I'm out of here. You will never see me at a nightclub ever again. It was nasty. That thing went from zero to club shutting down within minutes. It was like boom, boom, boom. Okay, like that.

So my concern with this is if it goes like that, Iran, if Iran is as manipulative, as dark as they want to be, you know what Iran's next move needs to be? Hit a U.S. base. Because you're going to cause a division in America. Hit a U.S. base right now. That's what Iran, if they want to create, and I'm not sharing strategies here, I'm just saying to them, if they do that, then all of a sudden they pin Israel against U.S. and you're going to see what's going to happen to America. X will be on fire.

You know, media will be on fire. People will be pinned against each other. I told you, I knew I was right. I tweeted about this 16 years ago and I was, boom, right? They were all behind it. Iran, their next move isn't attacking Israel. Iran has to, you know, if they're deceptive dark enough, that would be their next move. And if they do that, then America's a shit show.

Like, shit show at the height. That is my biggest effing concern. Is that happening? If that happens, forget about it. So, respect on that opinion. And I totally understand why the people play that clip about Benjamin Netanyahu. Whatever happened in Afghanistan and Iraq, as an American, was an unmitigated disaster. We spent trillions and trillions of dollars. Look at Iraq now. Look at Afghanistan now. I'll make no apologies for that. It was a mess. But Iran? Iran?

I could say with the utmost certainty they are enriching uranium. I don't even think it's a question. You want to know how I know that? You know the worst profession you would probably want to get into right now if you're an Iranian? Go to college and try to become a nuclear physicist. Go to college in Iran and try to become a nuclear scientist. I guarantee you it won't be a long career because you will be eliminated.

You know, Israel has pinpointed strategically two types of people, military leaders and anyone with a Ph.D. with nuclear science on their pin. Those guys are all dead. And if you continue to basically enrich uranium, you'll end up dead as well. And Israel is very clear on this. They got one doctrine.

Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. And if you're that person that's trying to help them enrich uranium and establish a nuclear weapon, you probably won't have a long life expectancy. Now, I totally understand why there's three different camps. You know, you give different camps. Here's where I'm at. Totally understand why people, Americans I'm talking about, are pro-Israel. Totally understand that.

They're our allies. They're our friends. Shared values. Judeo-Christian values. They're on the forefront of eliminating terrorism. Totally understand. I also understand even what they're calling it now, the woke right, sort of like the MAGA, isolationists. We want no part of this. America first. Leave us out of this. No more foreign entanglements. No more foreign wars. I get that. Who I don't understand is the people who are now rooting for Iran

To eliminate Israel. Okay, so, excuse me. Who's chanting death to America? Who's chanting death to America and burning the American flag? Pretty sure it's Iran. Weren't they the first people to do this? Them and North Korea? So let's not forget who our enemy is. And as far as the people on the woke right, leaded by Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens in that camp, I get it. I believe they love America. You've heard the term globalize the Antifata.

Guys, if you bury your head in the sand, like Tucker Carlson, who's probably never even been in a fistfight in his life, much less served in the military, soft, they're coming to a city near you. Today, there'll be protests, a no-king protest.

How much you want to bet there's going to be Palestinian flags flying in a no-ice, no-king protest? How much you want to bet? Because what Iran has done is globalized the Antifada. And if you want to pretend this isn't coming to a city near you, Tucker Carlson, just wait and see. Because they've already invaded Europe.

And they're seeping into America. So just wait and see. So anyone that's rooting for Iran to eliminate Israel is essentially rooting against America. Well, I want to put Tucker that far walk right. Rob, I just sent you. This is Tucker's tweet, Pat. Listen, Tucker, say what you want, Adam. He loves America and he's America first. And he doesn't want any Americans dying. This is his tweet, Pat. The real divide is in between people who support Israel and the people who support Iran.

or the Palestinians. The real divide is between those who casually encourage violence and those who speak to prevent it, between warmongering and peacemakers. Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who's calling Donald Trump today to demand airstrikes and other direct U.S. military involvement in war with Iran. On that list, look who he's calling out. Sean Hannity, Mark Levine, Rupert Murdoch,

Ike Pomerter and Miriam Adelson. At some point, they will all have to answer for this, but you should know their names now. So he's calling out his former bosses at Fox. Wait a minute, Adam. This is your question. What is your challenge with this tweet here? This is the first time I'm seeing this, but I just sent Rob another tweet that Tucker Carlson allegedly said. Allegedly? Are you sure that this is his tweet? Because this is a fact. I got this from his actual ex-account.

Where did you send that, Adam? Slack or text? I just texted it. Okay. He says the following. Tucker Carlson, drop Israel. He says, it is not America's fight. Engaging it would mean a middle finger in the faces of millions of voters who cast their ballots in hopes of creating a government that would finally put the United States first. I'm totally cool with 90% of what he just said. But again, I'll say my point again. Go to Images, Rob. Just go to Images. You'll find it. Go back and go to Images. You'll find it right there. I'm totally...

with and understand the America First camp. I get it. But if you want to pretend to be an ostrich, just like they tried to do in World War II, oh, let's stay out of it. We're not getting involved.

Next thing you know, you're going to have a Pearl Harbor situation. Next thing you know, you're going to have a 9-11 situation. Next thing you know. Oh, that's happening regardless, though. Adam, something bad is going to happen. Okay, so when 20 million people came in here and they were threatening us in front of the camera, they were saying, soon you're going to know your name. I mean, that's inevitable. But from everything that you just said with Tucker, Tucker, again, is America first. And there's a lot of people that are in that camp. You're getting very confused with one word. Go ahead.

The word first, because a lot of people use the word first and then think there's a second and third and fourth and fifth. No, homeboy. In his mind, it's America only. That's it. Isolationist. America only. And that's not the way the world works anymore. America first. I'm America first. Straight up. But I'm not America only. We have the luxury of two amazing, beautiful oceans.

But I don't know if you know, why are we building, why is Trump building the Golden Dome now? Why are we building that? Because we're scared that protesters are going to bomb and nuclear bomb us? No, because the world is a freaking scary place. And whether it's Iran or whether it's North Korea or whether it's China or whether it's Russia, somebody's going to come for us.

And what we need are allies who share maybe this information. Huh, what ally out there built something called the Iron Dome, funded by America, by the way, that might have some insight on how to build the Golden Dome so we don't fall under nuclear attack? So we can do the ostrich thing and pretend that Tucker Carlson is America first? Sure, I'll play that game with you. He's America only, and he's not even acknowledged.

that Iran has tried to kill President Trump. Are you fully aware of that? There's a man in jail right now, an Iranian regime militant who's in jail right now for trying to kill Trump.

Now, if somebody killed Trump, would you want to go to war for that? I mean, the guy that the closest that anybody got was a white boy with a cell phone from texting people from overseas. That was I don't know why he's dead. How about the guy in jail that is in jail for trying to kill Trump? Adam, everybody's trying to everybody from there's people probably from Russia. There's probably people from Ukraine. How about the guy in jail?

Okay, Adam, you know how many attempts on Trump's life are probably happening that you're never going to know? Everybody from every country wants, of course there's people out there that want to kill him. Well, let me ask this question, though, to his point. Say an Iranian...

that represents the IRG takes out Trump, what should be the result? What's your thoughts on that? I mean, it's going to be bad, but I mean, do we just bomb Iran? Because of one person? Is he working for Iran? He's with them. He's an insider with them. Well, then there's going to be a big problem. Which is what? Like a war? I wouldn't say a war, but there's going to definitely be a problem. If somebody sent an assassin to kill the president. Let me tell you, what's being said right now is not out of the reach of

possibilities. Okay. Right now, temperatures are high. By the way, if you notice Vinny getting angry, there's a lot of angry patriots in America today. Vinny is not alone. A lot of people are furious. Okay. And,

And if you're somebody who supports Vinny, you support the brand, you're an Angry Patriot yourself, and you want to go out there and show it in the marketplace, say, I'm an Angry Patriot. What's going on? Whatever it could be, go to vtmerch.com, support Vinny, Angry Patriot Collection, hat, shirts, all that stuff. Can I say something? Yeah. And I appreciate it. And guys, the bucket hats for summer, for everything. The shirts are the T-shirts. The ones that I have on right now are down to $19.99. Am I right, Rob? Yeah.

Yes, sir. They're down to 20 bucks. And then the hoodies are down to 2499. And whatever you buy, you guys get a mug from this collection. You get a free mug. That's an angry patriot mug that is right there. So I'm buying and people are like this video elections over. Why are you still angry? I'm like, there's still enough stuff happening. It's not going to stop. Stop while I'm going to be upset. So let's go back to this. So the the.

But possibilities right now, this is boom, boom, domino, right? Boom, this domino hits that domino. If all of a sudden something happens and a 9-11 type of event happens here. Yes. Okay. And say it does take out a president. Say the attack is on the White House. Say the attack is there. What should our response be? Well, first, and I love that you said that. We talk about fear. When something happens, and I do believe something's going to happen, which I'm not afraid. I'm like you. We're going to have to react accordingly.

Without reacting on emotion and saying, oh, this is who it was. You know, this guy's passport was laying in the middle of the street talking about 9-11 and everything just to make us to go to war. I say until everything is proven, because when something like that big happens, Pat, how do we know? Unless they come on, they claim like, hey, listen, this was us. We did it. What are you going to do? Let's say let's say our own camp finds out that it was from Iran.

What do you do? If what? A 9-11 type of thing? Say an attack like that happened and we find out it was. Okay, ready for this? If it's a 9-11 attack and it's an absolute certainty fact it was them, then it's war. Period. So you do have a level to go to where war options should be on you. Tom, what do you think, Tom? As a veteran, yes. You're a reasonable guy, right? You're a guy that you can get emotional very quickly.

And you can do your pipe thing you do once a month, but where would you be when it comes down to something like this? So if there is... If shit would have hit the fan, let's just say this comes to our soil, then what happens? If you take out our president and it is a government, it's a state, it's a state action is what we're talking about here. We are going to, in reverse order, number three, we are going to economically strangle you. Number two...

We are going to diplomatically isolate you. And number one, we are going to take an action against you and those in your government that perpetrated it, and it will be lethal. And if it takes a little bit of noise, smoke, and sound to get there, we're going to do it.

But we will take you out. We will isolate that organization diplomatically. And then we will absolutely strangle you economically. So, Tom, can I say one thing? No, Tom. So, number one is technically, by definition, war. If they state sanction, you come and you kill Donald Trump and you blow up a bunch of people, we are going to war with your country. But we have to know definitively with you. If I may say, war is full force versus full force. I think...

I think if Khomeini was responsible for this, do you think that all of the rest of Qatar and all the rest of foreign governments are going to get the fuck out of this?

the fuck out of the way. Excuse me. Yes, I do. 100%. Because they'd be like, hang on. Not us. No, no, no. You're on your own, homie. You just killed the great Satan's wife. You better watch out. It's coming. And we're not necessarily going to bomb the heck out of civilians. No, I'm not saying that. We are going to go in there, and we're going to find the people, and we are going to tear them up, and then we're going to isolate them politically in a world stage. You better not be negotiating with them, or it's your ass as well. Mm-hmm.

And then finally, we're going to embargo them until the return of Christ. I think, Vinny, do you believe the Iranians, the Ayatollahs, the Mullahs, when they shout death to America? Of course. How much do you believe that? Of course. They hate us. Do you think they're doing that just because they like the phrase or they actually believe it? No, they believe it. Okay, so do you think they're true believers in what they believe in? Yeah. So if you're a true believer...

How much do you think you convince a true believer to not be a true believer? Meaning what? Like if you believe something...

No negotiation, no tactic, no conversation. Is that going to change your mind at all? If I'm a true believer in something? Like Christianity? No, you're never going to change my mind. What if I were to tell you, as much as you believe in Jesus, beloved, you believe in Christianity, you don't believe as much as these guys believe in the 72 virgins jihad and meeting Allah. I'm telling you right now. Because they're willing to risk their life and die for that cause. I'm not saying that...

that you're not willing to put your life on the line. But I firmly believe that they firmly believe in what they're doing. So when they're shouting Allah Akbar and globalized intifada and death to America, I believe them. And you know who also believes them? The people of Israel. The Israelis actually believe them. So they're in unison basically saying, fuck.

finally we went and took down what we needed to take down in Iran. Because I firmly believe they are trying to enrich uranium. I firmly believe that they are trying to develop a nuclear weapon. Dan started talking about that, though, until you noticed right after the assassination attempt on Trump when everybody knew that he was going to win. So as much as I'm supportive of this, I'm totally skeptical of the uranium thing. Like, I could agree with them attacking Iran and not believe the uranium thing at the same time. Tell me more. Tell me more.

I mean, the committee that investigated that, they got a lot of their intel from the Mossad. And then the same thing happened with Iraq. They were saying that they were about to have nuclear weapons, about to mass destruction. Oh, so got it. So the report you're saying, the report on...

the nuclear weapons came from Israel. It's not something that we collected ourselves. Mossad gave it to CIA. How do you know that? That's what the news was reporting, that it was the IEIA, the UN committee that investigates that stuff, got a lot of their intel from them. Can you see the intel of Iran having nuclear weapons, how much of that intel was gathered from us directly versus how much of that intel was given to us from Mossad? I'm curious.

Valid question. I mean, I've seen that report. If that were not the case, why is Israel only attacking nuclear sites? So if Israel was attacking civilian sites or...

cultural sites or any other site government sites i'd you know certainly civilians i'd be the first one being like what the f are you doing israel but the fact that they are pinpointing nuclear sites so here we go tells me intelligence okay they're onto something use for israel strike on iran to june 200 was reportedly gathered primarily by masado although u.s intel and likely played a supporting role corroborative

Mossad Israel's media and security analysts have pointed to Mossad as the principal agency behind the targeting of the nuclear military. The agency has a long track record of deep operations inside Iran, including previous attacks on nuclear scientists sabotaged at Nataz.

and the theft of Iran's nuclear archive in 2018. Precision targeting. The strikes appear to target high-value individuals, critical infrastructure, U.S. involvement, according to Axios and other reports. The U.S. was informed in advance of Israel's actions but was not operationally involved. However, it's plausible that shared signal intelligence reports

or surveillance data from U.S. assets in the region may have aided Israel's planning. So on the top it says it was used, it was gathered primarily by Mossad, even though we likely played a supporting or corroborative role. So Brandon's right in the fact that... So let me ask you, do you believe Iran is working on having a nuclear weapon? Bingo. Working on it, yeah. Do you believe that? Working on it for sure. Do you think they have it?

Probably not. Give me a percentage where you think they have it or not. 15%. 15%? Yeah, like 49. Okay. Tom? Functional bomb, 5%. Enriched uranium on the path to it.

So how long does it take to be functional? It's a couple of years. You got to have testing. You got to put together the bomb. Then you have to put together a system to deploy the bomb, which is why North Korea keeps putting all those test missiles into the ocean. Yeah. It takes time. Mm hmm.

I mean, you could look at those two examples side by side, North Korea and Iran. Okay, so let me ask you a question. Let's go to the next one, Adam, because you always say this one here. So the fear is what? Israel is doing this because they don't want Iran. Do you think Israel is doing this because Israel wants the empire to fall? Do you think Israel is doing this because Israel doesn't want Iran to have nuclear weapons? Why do you think Israel is attacking Iran?

their window. Why do I think? Because I think they would get the most support right now from this administration if things were to go bad or if they were needed. Because yesterday we were even helping them defend in their airspace. Yeah, so I want to show you this clip. This is President Trump on Thursday prior to the attack, what he said. Is this the clip, Rob? Yes, sir. Okay, watch this clip, folks.

Or are you so against Iran having a nuclear weapon that you're okay, he does his thing because it is not an American war? Yeah, it's a very fair question. Look, I want to have an agreement with Iran.

We're fairly close to an agreement. We are fairly close to a pretty good agreement. It's got to be better than pretty good, though, but it's got to be -- I'd much prefer an agreement. As long as I think there is an agreement, I don't want them going in, because I think

Blow it might help it, actually, but it also could blow it. But we've had very good discussions with blow it. Whether or not we get there, I can't tell you, but it'll it'll happen soon. I say this, Peter, very strongly. They can't have whether it's going in or not going in. They can't have a nuclear weapon. I prefer I prefer the more friendly path. OK, so now, Rob, go to the other clip.

CNN reporting the fact that President Trump, do you know which one I'm talking about? Yes. So I have two. Is this Dana Bash? Well, I have actually ABC News reports. Here it is, ABC News reports saying that President Trump said that the strike was excellent. And then I also have ABC News reporting that Trump told Reuters that his administration knew about the attack. Which one? Show both. Okay. Here's the first one.

Just moments ago, the president speaking with our John Carl said of the attacks that he thinks it's been excellent. He said we gave them a chance and they didn't take it. They got hit very, they got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you're going to get hit. And there's more to come, a lot more. And when asked if the U.S. participated in the attack in any way, the president interestingly said, I don't want to comment on that.

That is not what Marco Rubio said last night, the Secretary of State coming out very quickly and making it clear that the U.S. was not involved, saying flatly, let me be clear, Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel because, of course, Iran has warned that it will retaliate against the U.S. Now, the president this morning is set to meet with his National Security Council in the Situation Room, and this morning he still seems to be holding out hope

that somehow these nuclear talks can be salvaged, posting just a short while ago urging Tehran to come to the table, saying Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left, adding just do it before it is too late. George. And Martha, let me go back. Pause right there. Now go to the Reuters one, Rob.

which is that U.S. knew about this. Thank you, President Trump, talking to ABC News tonight and what he's now saying about this Israeli attack. Let's bring in ABC's Chief of Staff, Jonathan Karl, live there at the White House. John, of course, you talked with the president. We heard President Trump this week publicly warn Israel not to do this. In your phone call, he called the attack excellent. That was his word, saying Iran had its chance. Any indication, how much did the U.S. know here? When did the U.S. know? Israel now saying it told the U.S.,

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said point blank that he told the Trump administration that the attack was coming. And late this afternoon, President Trump told Reuters, this is an exact quote, we knew just about everything. David, we don't know when the United States was

informed, but I can tell you this, U.S. officials I spoke to in the 24 to 36 hours before the attack had a clear sense of what was coming. They may not have known the exact details, but they knew that an Israeli attack on Iran was imminent. John Karl live in the White House after talking with the president. John, thank you. There you go. So

The question then becomes, going back to what I was asking you guys, is Israel, is it doing it because of the nuclear, they want to get rid of nuclear, or they want to topple the regime? Topple regime. Tom, you think it's topple regime or nuclear? I think it's 70% nuclear, but to go after nuclear, you're going to end up probably toppling regime, so 30% regime. So who cares if you go through the nuclear, though? You're still the same leader staying there, so who gives a shit? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? So if you're going to go after the, okay, great.

Same guy's running it. The only solution is so now then the question becomes go 5, 10, 15 steps ahead. Have they thought about like if – is Mossad that advanced? Is the CIA that advanced today that they're thinking about who to replace them with? Like who is going to come back and run Iran? That's a great thing. That far? They're not going to make the Iraq mistake. There isn't anybody. But because if you think about it, when it happened in 77, 78, 79 –

They knew it was going to be Khomeini because he was in France and he was the guy that was going to come back from exile. I don't think Reza Pahlavi, the son here, is going to go back to Iran. I don't think he's going to go back to want to take his family. The Khomeini was willing to do it like this. Reza Pahlavi has not been to Iran since 1977, 78. He left pre-revolution for training that he had at a young age. So.

You think he's going to go back in 46, 47 years to go run Iran? I mean, maybe if conditions were safe where the regime had just fallen and there's an empty slot there for somebody who has name recognition to go do it, maybe he would. I wish he would put himself forward. Who is that name? Reza, I think. I wish Reza would because he has name recognition. I just looked up and that's a great point. Okay, and two things. Number one.

Israel, dude, they're advanced as shit. How hard would it be to take out the leader? How hard would it be? How hard strategically? They've been trying. No, no. I think that they have. But with us, because we're, you know, quote, unquote, not involved. If he dies, because my thing is this. And one of you guys, I don't know who it was, made a great point. The goal is what? Let the people have somebody else lead them, Adam. Because if that's the case, and death to America and all that, that attitude has to change. That brainwashing has to change.

If they take that guy out, who's next? I asked Chad GBT, if Khomeini dies, they don't have a system like us where there's a VP and all that stuff. So maybe his son? No, he's the...

supreme leader. Okay, so what did he go through? Carmen A is the spiritual leader of the nation. Okay. That's different than who the president is. Think about it like UK. You know, the royalty family is the king and then you have Starmer who is the prime minister, right? So think about it that way. So he is the royal family and then you have

This would be, it's not the model like the ones that we have here. Okay. Very different. You're asking the question, who would replace the Ayatollah Khomeini? Yeah. It is a complete decimation of the Hezbollah, the Mullah, the whole IRGC to completely be wiped out and replaced by something new. Yeah. Yeah.

And a lot of Iranians who live in Iran and who live all around the world that would love to be able to go back, they are, believe it or not, they're rooting for this. Of course they are. A lot of them are rooting for this. 60%. 60% are rooting for this. Can I say who I think it could be to replace it? Literally anybody.

Literally anybody. And I mean that sincerely because when the CIA in America gets into regime change and toppling regimes, what's the criticism? You never know who's going to be next. You take down Saddam, all of a sudden it's ISIS. You take down Bashar al-Assad in Syria, who's going to be this guy? Let me tell you this, my friends in Iran. They know there's nobody worse than this current regime.

They're not going to replace them with somebody worse. They're not going to replace them with somebody that's going to oppress them even more. The misery index in Iran is one of the worst in the world. The people are miserable, but they should be free. I hope and pray in our lifetime, in your lifetime, PBD, that you get to go back to Iran. Because I met so many Iranians, I met so many Persians who are the best people. Reza Pahlavi, his daughter...

Just married a Jewish guy in Israel, I want to say. Like there's friendship there. There's alignment there. And they know. Why do you think the Iranians are cheering for Israel? Because they know that Israel and IDF are not their enemy. They know that their enemy is within.

The barbarians are at the gate and they're in the gate of your country. They're in the courtyard. They're in the courtyard. So the people of Iran deserve so much better. They deserve so much better. And this is the closest that I can remember that the Iranian people have at least felt free.

Did you see that one video of the guttural response? And this is just a normal Iranian guy in his house. The guy filming at night from across. The filming at night, seeing the Israeli fighter jets. Hit them, hit them, hit them. Rob, I text you this, or it's in the Slack. But he was saying it in language. He's saying it in Farsi. If you want to know how the people of Iran feel,

PBD, you would know better than me. If you want to know how they feel inside, in their gut, you want to listen to this clip. He's with the most passion you've ever seen yelling, get them, get them, kill the bastards of his own government regime. So that, do you have this Rob? I'm looking in Slack. I don't have it.

Did you send it in a group text for PBD podcast? Adam, while he's searching, we have to be like, when you say anybody to replace him would be good. Anybody. Anybody would not be good because look what happened. Like you said, with what Syria did, with what they did with Bashar in Syria, would they replace him with people that are killing Christians? Yeah, the ISIS guy. I'm sorry. That you can't just say anybody.

Because the CIA puts in anyone and they just so happen to be killing my faith. Great point. That's horseshit. So you know what you're basically saying? You know what you're saying? Let's have an election.

Let's give them freedom to decide who they want. I guarantee you the people of Iran know what they want, and it ain't the Ayatollah. If the Ayatollah ran for election, PBD, the Ayatollah versus literally anybody. Do you think Iranian people want Ayatollahs? No, no. Here's my question, though. In a perfect world, ready? Israel would have to take out who right now? Is the Ayatollah?

Take him out? I think their own people have to. They have to stand up. It's not possible for... You said this how many podcasts ago? The people need to say enough is enough. Like, we're tired of this shit. And they need to rise up. What's this rap? I believe this is... This is the clip. Yes, this is it. There's a difference. The people have been saying that. And you know what happens when they say it? They end up dead. Play this clip. So I just saw a video of Israeli fighter jets

On top of the skies in Tehran, close to where the supreme dictator's house is, and you know you can hear like fires and missiles and whatever. I want you to take a moment and listen to the voice of the Iranian man who is filming this video. Tehran's sky, Ferdowsi's bridge, MashaAllah! MashaAllah! Let go of my sons! Let go!

Did you hear that? That is 46 years worth of frustration and desperation coming out. Hit the bastards, right? How many people in Iran, what percentage of people do you think have that exact same reaction? Well, let me tell you, I had Reza Aslan on. Reza Aslan who was on the podcast.

I don't know if you remember this. This guy here, okay? He was on the podcast, and he used to work at CNN. He went to a place in the famous video, the most viewed clip on CNN's YouTube channel was this guy. Oh, really? He went to where they were eating human beings. He was at a place where they're eating. He got so scared. Yeah, he was so scared that CNN. He was sitting on the ground wearing the beads. They were saying, here, drink my pee. And they wanted to eat him? It was the cannibals, yeah, yeah.

yeah that's the whole look how many views that thing has 33 million views they want to eat him they're seasoning he is so scared with what's going on we always put this headdress on order that's all we're looking at teeth okay bones he's panicking at this point and he's telling his guy we got to get out of here right like something's going on anyways he's on the podcast yeah you know who he is against he's not a fan of the show he is not a fan of the show now here's what's crazy we're sitting in the podcast having a civil debate

And he's talking about how Mossadegh was this and, you know, all this other stuff that, you know, he's not a fan of the Shah and all this stuff. Great. Then I said, so can I ask you a question? Yeah. How come your parents kept you there under the Shah and never left, but they left when Khomeini took over? Well, that's not how it is. And they're bad. But I said, no, no, no. It's very simple.

Very simple. This is the Mexican flag in a U.S. situation. You're carrying, waving a Mexican flag in America. Go back and live in Mexico. I respect that. I have one of my guys that said, I'm going to go back and live in Michoacan. He did. True believer. I wish you know how much respect I have for that guy. We pay him a half a million dollars and he says he wants to go back and live in Mexico. You're a true believer. I have a lot of respect for you. Go do it, right? But to me...

When you hear these stories of people that, oh, Yishar was an evil man and Sivak and all this other stuff, you live there peacefully during his time, and you cannot go back and live there today, and your parents left. All the gibberish people feed, and all the stuff that they watch and see what's going on, all the stuff that they keep saying, Iran's been a mess since these Hezbollahs and these people took over. It's been a mess since they took over. And the Middle East has been in chaos. And every single time you want to tie it to somebody,

It's very easy. It's such an easy market right now to blame everything on Israel. It's a lazy, what do you call it? Intellectually lazy argument. No, it's just lazy and you're easily being manipulated. Where you have to find a way to logically decide what's going on and understand everybody's motives. When we were building the insurance company,

I had a couple guys in the company. Jake Paul tweeted something a couple days ago I freaking love. I love Jake Paul's tweet from a couple days ago. How random that we're going to Jake Paul's tweet. Look at his tweet. What an awesome freaking tweet. Zoom in a little bit. This is so freaking true. Right there. Your biggest fan is a stranger. Your biggest hater is someone you know. Wow. Noodle on that. I mean, it's so funny where some of the people you've done the most for are your haters now. And some of the people you've done nothing for...

They're willing to do anything and everything for you. Life is very, very weird on how this thing works. It's very easy right now to sit there and, you know, we're doing business and I have a couple guys in the company that the guy sits in front of me and he tells me how much he's changed his life. But in the last two weeks, he's told five different people how much he can't stand me. Really? Yeah.

And I'm sitting in front of him, and I'm entertaining the conversation. And I'm just watching him. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And all these other five people, there are hundreds with me. I trust what they're saying. No, no, no. Manipulative and deceptive. And I'm just watching him. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. Much love. But you know what? Even though he was the most manipulative guy that we had, he still played a positive role in the company. And that's the hard thing about being a leader. When you're sitting there negotiating something,

If I'm Trump talking to Netanyahu, you think Trump trusts Netanyahu 80%? No, he doesn't. Trump knows what's going on. But Trump knows he trusts Netanyahu 30%, but he trusts Khamenei 2%. You still have to find a way for the 30% guy to do a fight that you're not doing and still be ready in case something comes back. That's above everyone's pay grade.

Everybody here doing content, giving their opinions, giving everything, getting emotional. There's guys that are bashing Israel because their investor was Jewish and they are now filing bankruptcy and losing everything. But the easy person to blame is the Jew because you were a bad businessman. That's not the Jew's fault. That's your bad businessman's fault. Okay? Look, I know what it is when we go to dinner with Adam. Do you know what are the chances of Adam taking a check when we go to dinner? No.

What are the chances of Adam putting his card out there paying for dinner? What is it? It's zero. By the way, but let me tell you. They do Jewish jokes on them. That's what they do, guys. Let me tell you what I do know, though. That's not a Jewish joke. That's a U-ish joke. That's an Adam joke. But let me tell you this, though. You know what I know about Adam? He's going to pay for the valet. Oh, gangster. That I know one thing about Adam. I know one thing about Adam. You know what's crazy? I'll give Adam a compliment.

You know, as much as you talk shit and we talk shit and we have fun and we say the stuff that we say and we allow our environment, you know, you know, Jillian said something and, you know, Anna said this. It's just like, it's so funny. You guys, the way you guys do PBD podcast, it looks like from the outside that you guys, you know, there's fights and people can't stand each other, but you guys are actually like friends and you're able to make your work. Yeah. We're able to make your work. Okay. You know, we're able to make it work. Adam, it doesn't matter when we're doing a podcast. Adam shows up.

From Miami. It doesn't matter what it is. He shows up. Guess what? This is the part where, you know, you have to try to find a way, even if your favorite influencers in the world get you emotional to act like a neurotic, freaking crazy person, that's their job. The job of a great content creator is to be an element of showmanship, right?

But you can't let that showmanship cause you to get so irrational that you're suddenly acting like a lost cause and you can't think for yourself. No, like right now, even here today, he said something. I know. What are you talking about? And then Vinny says, oh, that's right. What do you think, Vinny? But it's like, so what position are you? You have to kind of play that for yourself because you don't know 100 percent of everything. Nobody does. Zero. You're not in there negotiating. Right.

We're all just speculating. All of us, me, everybody, and including everybody else out there that's in the space. Left, right, center, everyone's speculating and then adding their own opinion. Just know your opinion doesn't mean it's a fact. That's my opinion. That's what I think. I could be right or wrong. And then you get to go and say, oh, shit, they're right more often than they're wrong. And the other guys are more wrong often than they're right. And then you judge. You're totally fine. That's how the market works. I'm okay with that.

I don't have any problem with that. But this is a season where we have to fully be ready and try to find to control our emotions as much as possible. Mine are very clear, guys. I was born and raised in Iran. I'd love to be able to go back. I can't today. I don't like war. I've never liked war.

I've always liked stopping wars and stopping fights. I'll come in and we stop it and boom, let's find a way to do business together and move on. No problem. Many of the people that I was enemies with, I'm doing business with right now. You think I sit there and I'm like, that guy, I trust him 100%? No. But we're still able to do some stuff together. So to me, let's go to the next topic here, which is a no kings king, no kings protest, the ice and all that other stuff. Now they're saying they're coming to cities like Fort Lauderdale.

Now they're saying they're coming to cities like Miami, and they're coming to a city near you. That's the list right now, by the way, if you're looking at this. Look at that. That looks insane. Can you zoom in a little bit? Can you zoom in a little bit? What is the – Nebraska, you have nothing to worry about.

South Dakota freezing their ass. For those of you guys that are frightened, move to Nebraska. Right now, North Nebraska is safe. Yeah, look at South Dakota. They're freezing their asses off. Look at Montana. Like, screw Montana. We're not protesting in Montana. Trump sucks. North Texas. By the way, a strategic move would be to move the White House to Northeast Montana.

By the way, take a look at Nevada. Look at the middle of Nevada. Oh, wow, Nevada as well. No, no, no. We're from California. We know Nevada. What the hell is that? That's called Area 51 time. Okay, hang on. There's a rest stop on the highway to Salt Lake City. Don't stop there. What has the most yellow? Can you zoom out a little bit? It's going to be East Coast. East Coast for sure. East Coast is just like a virus. Damn.

It's like COVID. Oh, my God. It's like COVID over there. Now, who do you think these people are that are going to be shown to these protests? People that need money that are getting paid so little time. There was an avatar for the people that are showing up to these No Kings protests. I'll show you, Rob. What would they look like? What color hair do they have? I sent it to Rob. You guys have to see this. This is the guy. Rob, I slacked it to you. Who are they? This is the type of guy that's going to be there. I slacked this to Rob. And I want to, as a father, as a father who goes to Disney, and I've been with you there multiple times,

How would you respond to this dude? This is allegedly a transgender guy showing off his woman's dress at Disney. These are the people. Look at this. Look. Look at this. Look. Look. It's not a joke. This isn't a joke. Look.

Adam, watch. I've been wanting to twirl all day, so I'm going to twirl now. He wants to twirl. This is Disney. No, he's not, Adam. He drove there. He looks mentally slow. No, no, Adam. This guy drove there. No, I get it. But listen to this. I'm with Adam. I don't want to pick on him. No, you're not. Guys, you're not picking on him. He's a trans... Just play the clip. I get it. Listen to what he says here. He's got mental issues. Adam, he drove there. You're not having...

No, there's a mental issue. This is called Democrat. Watch this. Listen to what he says. But he also might be a special guy. You know what I mean? I love it here at Disneyland. I love it here. Watch this. I wish it could stay longer. But...

I'm going to stay until they kick me out. Why are they going to kick him out? That's his plan. Kick him out for what, Adam? What do you think that guy's going to do? What bathroom do you think he's going to use? I'm with you. I'm not arguing with you. That guy's got a lot of issues. They let him into Disneyland dressed like that. And those are the people that are going to be at the protest. And that is a good poster child. He'll be at the protest. What did that have to do with King's King?

I said this. He said, what type of people are going to be at the protest? We're on King's Kings. That has nothing to do with King's Kings. So let's stay on this. Rob, what's this here, Rob? This is President Trump when he was asked about the no Kings protest. This happened Thursday. Play this. I saw this one.

Several no kings protests planned across the country on Saturday as well. What are your thoughts on those? What are they going? No king? No kings. I don't feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get there. A king would say, I'm not going to get this. A king would have never had the California mandate to even be talking to him. He wouldn't have to call up Mike Johnson and Thune and say, fellas, you got to pull this off. And after years, we get it done.

No, no, we're not a king. We're not a king at all. Thank you very much. Pat, that is such a good answer from Trump. Yeah. Because go anywhere in the world where there's a king running the show, they wouldn't let you protest. Let's not forget we're still in America. You could go out in every major city in America, have the biggest protest of your life, and Trump, what do you have to say about it? Ah, no kings. Like, this is still America. The...

The hypocrisy that comes from these no-kings protesters is just absurdity. Is this the same guy from Disney? No. Doesn't he...

I thought that's what you're posting. I said no more videos of that guy. I'm so sorry. Is this the same guy? No. You guys are teasing me right now. This is Brevard County Sheriff. This is Wayne Ivey. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say anything. I literally thought he was playing games with me right now. This guy's not playing games. I can't hear him. Watch the voice be the same voice. You're going to jail. Let me be very clear about that. If you block an intersection or a roadway,

In Brevard County, you are going to jail. If you flee arrest, you're going to go to jail tired because we are going to run you down and put you in jail. If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County, gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave, in our county, you're most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street.

If you spit on us, you're going to the hospital and in jail. If you hit one of us, you're going to the hospital and jail and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs. Who is this guy? This is a pointed gun at one of our deputies. We will be notifying your family where to collect your remains. Because we will kill you graveyard dead. We're not going to play. This has got to stop.

Who is this guy? Sheriff Wayne Ivey from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office. By the way, no relation to the other guy. I'm just asking. Wow. That's America, buddy. Wow. F-O.

Shit, that was right. Good for him. But you know what, Tom Pat? Some people's attitude, and I know some of these people, they're like, this is why would the governor, why would people, and they're angry. You know what I say? I go, because they're warning you that virus isn't going to spread into our town and our state, period. Because right now, somebody that sees that, and they're trying to get the rally. Tom has a video. Tom, can you send that video to Rob, the one that...

They started honking a horn. They ran off the street. Yeah, let me find that. The one you were talking about. By the way, Brevard County, for people in the U.S. who are listening, it's on the Atlantic coast. It's John F. Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Beach, and north of Vero. So this is not middle of nowhere. This is right off Daytona. It's about an hour from Daytona. What does a sheriff like that make you feel like? I want him to be my sheriff. Yeah, I want that guy. Proud to be in Florida. I'd give that guy a raise. I would be like, listen.

I'm willing to raise taxes a quarter of a point on the entire county just to pay that guy an additional $200,000 raise. You kidding me? What do you think the crime rate is in that town? I mean, I'm being sarcastic. No, I'm being real. Like, it's low, right? For sure. Go ahead and commit a crime. Go ahead and commit a crime. Rob, do you have that one video with them trying to protest? Tom, do you have that video? Just send it to Rob.

Okay, Tom's playing games this morning. No, no, no, no, no, no. I just sent it, Rob. It's hard to play. Why does Sanchez have to come out and say that it's okay to run somebody over when they're standing in front of your car? I thought that would have went without saying, but in other states, I guess it's like you get in trouble if a protester is standing in front of your car blocking you. Well, you know, what Newsom's going to do is he's going to give you, you know, he's going to punish you. Of course. Right. Everything's going to be your fault. Newsom will put a boot on your car. I'm telling you, I thought it was related. But go back to...

But if you run over somebody in Florida, it's like, what do we have for him, Bob? I don't appreciate these pranks. I'm telling you guys right now. What is this, Tom? Go back a little bit. Okay, watch this. Stop ice raids. This is a different video of the same situation. Watch.

Turn off the song. Okay, so they're doing what? They're on the... Yeah, because it's a red light. So the guy's what, honking a horn? Yeah, the guy starts honking, it turns red, and they move out of the way. You're damn right. You're damn right. And they're like, okay. Oh, that's amazing. This is Tampa. Welcome to Florida. He doesn't run anybody over, though. So, today... No, he didn't. The light turns green and the motorist continues. When the protest happened today, okay, we may be sending a couple of our guys. Don't be surprised if you see a guy who looks like Brandon with the USA hat

being there just to see what's going to be happening. All we're doing is we're trying to find out what their ideas are, what they're upset about. And who sent them there? And who funded them? Who has given these guys the money? Did you see the Chris Cuomo clip? Have you seen the Chris Cuomo clip? Do you know which clip I'm talking about, Rob? I don't, but I'll look. Funded by China? Who's funding this protest? I have it, Rob. I'm going to text it to you. The whole who's funding the protest clip

This one right here. It's a very, very – is this the one, Rob? Is this where he says, here, I'll just grab the one you sent? Yeah, just show the one I sent you because it shows, you know, what's going on with who's funding it and what their reasoning is and the division. It's very interesting, his take here. Go ahead. Watch this here.

This is Cuomo Vinny's best friend. These protests are fed by dark sources with a desire for our destruction. One of the main players in organizing and funding the Los Angeles protests is a group called CHIRLA, C-H-I-R-L-A, acronym, Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights. They have received millions in government grants and state grants, but now reports are showing that there may be a foreign link, specifically from...

China. Funding and organizing these protests. The pro-Chinese far-left Party for Socialism and Liberation. They're known as the PSL.

They are working with Chirla, helping fund the protests in Los Angeles and maybe elsewhere. Remember, all the parties in China are controlled by the CCP. So this is China. And the party is pushing to destroy capitalism and the West. This is its agenda. This is what China wants. They even have a term for the effort. It's called the "smokeless war."

where they have this theory of how they'll destroy the West without actually taking to the battlefield. That's what they did during the anti-Israel campus protests. The PSL worked hand in glove with anti-Zionist student groups and helped organize and fund the Columbia campus encampments. Now it gets scarier.

Where does the PSL get its money? Enter Shanghai-based socialist billionaire Neville Singham. 2017, he sold his tech company for about a billion.

Reports show the same year he started funding far-left groups like the PSL to the tune of millions. Singham is not America's friend. He has deep business ties to the CCP, but also has strong ideological ties to communism, period. People who worked for him says he's an admirer of Mao, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, not friends of American culture.

According to the New York Times, Singham has funded and developed a deep global empire of pro-China nonprofits in the media and grassroots political space, steering millions into these groups over the years, including the PSL. And guess who was associated with the PSL and other Singham-funded groups? Elias Rodriguez. Ring a bell?

This scumbag, the 30-year-old Chicago man who murdered two Israeli staffers in cold blood last month to make a political statement. I mean, Chris is sounding a lot like how we were with China with COVID. But he's bringing the receipts. Yeah, I know, with smokeless war and all that stuff. I'm shocked they're not going after him for being racist against China because none of this was ever said during COVID.

Zero. Absolutely not. And we knew the whole time. Listen, I love Chris. He has his moments where he has these, like the sun shines on him a little bit, but overall it's like... Okay, I love you, Vinny, but let's stay on this. I am on this. Just because he was wrong on COVID doesn't mean he's wrong on this. No, hold on. Wait, wait, wait. Time out. Time out. Who said he was wrong?

I did not. Are you putting words in my mouth? I said it's shocking that he's blaming China for this, but couldn't blame China for COVID, which was...

One of the main reasons he's here and not at CNN anymore. You're saying that he was right about COVID. No, he was. Exactly. You're saying he's wrong. He's wrong about COVID. I'm saying no. I'm not saying wrong. He never mentioned China. China was off limits. Stay on point. My entire point is that you went to COVID and I'm staying right here in the protest. We've got five more minutes. We're wrapping up. I find Chris in this particular argument to be highly credible. He brought receipts. He's showing you exactly what's going on. Who's paying the bills?

There's a famous saying, they say, he who pays, says. The reason that PBD pays the bills is because he says. He says what's going on. He's the boss. It's a philosophy of lobbying, right? Exactly. When you're paying, you get to basically dictate what's happening right now. And I said the other day, when they were doing these ICE protests, I go, look, let's give a little credit. It's not just Soros. Let's give a little credit to...

to China and Qatar and this foreign money that's pouring in. And when globalism and Marxism and jihadism link up, that means death to the West. Be careful, America. So every year there's over a trillion dollars spent with these NGOs and diplomats

these things like this that caused the protests. So like, that's the bigger problem. Like this is one small thing with all that, but like right now they're doing what they did. We did other countries where we overthrow governments using NGOs, using like fake protesters and stuff. So like, this is something we're just starting to like acknowledge as a thing, like before we thought there were actual protests. So I think like the bigger problem is that like people are able to hide between these layers of networks. Like the open society has given like money to 20,000 NGOs over the course of its existence, like $38 billion. So, you know, it's a lot of influence and they could,

overthrow our country this way. This is like a way to, like they said, a smokeless war. They called it a smokeless war. Exactly, Brandon. This is a really effective way to do that. And like I said, a trillion dollars is spent on this every year. You think it's as effective as it was pre-COVID? No, because now we're aware of it and the media is less potent than it was before. I think it's a, you know, the most hated people for these professionals are us. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. It's their message. You mean calling them out on their BS? Yeah, because look at what we're wearing today. Look at what we're wearing today. I'm wearing a black shirt. Adam's wearing a blue shirt from Ross. Vinny's wearing angry Patriots. You had to throw that in there. What do you mean? What?

I went to Ross with you. You said you looked at this and you bought it for $12.99. It's a nice shirt. It was a buy one, get one. Give me a little respect. Next thing you're going to say, I'm going to say, I look like the guy protesting at Disney. Is it me? Brandon looks the best. He's got the Valuetainment shirt and the USA hat on. And then Tom's getting ready to go golf. No, no. It's Father's Day. It's dad wear. Yeah, dad wear, right? But you know what it is? Sometimes we'll put this. I like wearing a suit every day. I actually really, really like wearing a suit.

Regular guys. You don't see my degree on the wall from Cornell or Ross University. You know, we make sure Brandon's Vinnie's degrees always on the wall right behind him. Right. America is sitting there saying, can we just listen to some real people? And I think those guys, the reason why Soros had to go by those 400 radio stations, whatever it was, he's thinking that's still effective. It could be with the older audience.

They hate people like us. Like if he really, really wanted to control it, you know what he should do? Pay these people? Go spend $5 billion, buy the top 60 biggest podcasts. That's how you do it. Right.

If he really wanted to do something. Now, his son may do his shit. You know what I'm saying? He may come out and do stuff like that, but get ready for some real weird things going on with podcasts being bought. You mean how Qatar is allegedly funding some people out there? Qatar being one of them. I mean, by the way... Like Candice and Theo, allegedly. Hey, guess what? Don't...

Throw Russia out of it. Russia was also, you know, and then don't throw Israel out of it. Israel, by the way, I would love some of your money. They give me zero fucking money. I'm out here defending Israel. I'll take a shekel or two, guys. I haven't been paid one red cent. Either of you. I love the fact that they think that you've been bought by Israel. I go, news to me, Oz. I haven't seen people take one cent from anybody. So they're as generous as you are. No, but...

But by the way, but what I'm saying to you is, do you think Qatar is capable of doing that? Yes, absolutely. Do you think Israel is capable of doing that? Do you think Russia is capable of doing that? Of course. Do you think Soros will be capable of doing that? Yep. And America. I'm telling you right now, be careful. Oh, God. I'm telling you right now, people want Spotify contracts. You're going to see the next three, five, ten years, people are going to want Soros contracts. You...

I know it bothers me that you're going to be late. I am dead serious. I am dead serious because his dad went and bought the radio stuff. The son is going to buy a podcast. And the only thing that I'm excited about, the difference between Qatar money, Russia money, Israel money, you're going to be able to track the money that he's buying these podcasts. And everyone's going to know. That's the part I'm excited. Do it. I want you to do it.

I want you to do it. Then podcasts like ours are going to be. So you know those 48 podcasts? They're owned by. Such and such. Such and such. Right? They're owned by such and such. What was the news that they were buying podcasts? They got caught buying. Well, no, it wasn't. It was allegedly that they were giving money, but they didn't know. It wasn't. Last clip I want to play before we wrap up. Last clip. Actually, you know what? We'll save it for next week. It's Tuesday. We have a lot of stuff that we're going to cover on Tuesday. It's okay. I mean, we'll cover it too. It's a good clip. Good, good, good.

But no, no, no. Save it. It's a goodie. It's a goodie. A little bit of four places means it's okay. I got to get to Ross by 1030, sir. Hey, guys, remember, they want you to be scared this weekend. Okay? They want you to shiver. It's like the movie. You ain't got a four head. You got a five head. I'm shivering, buddy. I'm shivering, right? Don't let them do that to you. But that doesn't mean don't practice your...

Be aware. The benefits that America gives you. I think what's First Amendment? Freedom of freaking speech. What's the second one? Guns. Got a gun. It's not a bad time. Do you know what I'm saying? Protect yourself, folks. Follow the law, but protect yourself. Protect your family.

And be proud to be an American, even though this thing is listened to by 150-plus countries, whatever countries we're in. We get the reports. It's crazy who listens to the podcast. I'm always enamored by who listens. I'm in Switzerland. Switzerland? I don't know. Were we in Switzerland, Tom, or were we in Frankfurt? Were we in Frankfurt?

We were in Frankfurt last week, right? Or two weeks ago. Yeah, that was the stopover. Right. So we're in Frankfurt and this lady comes to me from Hungary. She's like, you have no idea how many of us listen to the podcast out of Hungary and all this other stuff. Anyways, again, remember, reminder with Vinny, Angry Patriot. Go support the Angry Patriot brand. Go to vtmerch.com. Get your gear.
