Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. A handshake is better than anything I ever saw. It's right here.

You are a one-on-one? My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before. Okay, folks. So we got a very interesting podcast here today. Guest's going to join us. She landed already. I believe she'll be here within 45 minutes and she'll join us.

She asked a very complicated question from Tim Walz, the former VP presidential candidate. And Tim Walz, I mean, you don't ask questions like that from the VP. She asked him, Rob, can you play this clip up, Tim Walz, just right off the bat? I just want to let you know who the guest is that's going to be here. Maybe you recognize her. Stick around. We're going to hit some stories before we get to that. Go ahead, Rob. So this is the question she asked. Very technical. Go ahead. Okay. What is a woman? I...

What is a woman is the question? I'm not sure I understand the question here. You can pause it. So, I mean, look, can you imagine that we're living in a time that a guy that's

Asked to be the VP can't answer a basic question like that. He's a knucklehead. He said he's a knucklehead. He said it. He said he's a knucklehead. I think the word is won't. He won't answer it because he's handcuffed by all of those people that he's beholden to. That's a problem. By the way, if you guys are wondering why Adam is not here, some people are saying he's at an insurance conference. Some are saying he's hanging out with AIPAC. Who the hell knows where he's at? But, you know, Adam's out there.

Hanging out with his friends. And hiding phone numbers. Yeah, it is what it is. Okay. Yeah. So, Nick, let me cover with you what stories we're going to be going through today. Tucker and Ted Cruz did an incredible podcast. Phenomenal. If you haven't seen it, you've got to watch it. UFC 404. Thank you, Tom. It was fantastic. It's awesome. I thought it was great. Both arguments. It was a good fight, but it was respectful from both sides. Both headshots.

heavyweights, maybe super heavyweights. Actually, no, it is the super heavyweight matchup. It was great. I really enjoyed watching it. I'm glad Tucker and Ted were willing to have that conversation. We're going to talk about that because a lot of things were said. He asked some questions about what is the population of Iran. And then, you know, you're taking money from AIPAC, all these things. We'll cover some of that stuff later.

But a few stories that came out. Iran will never surrender. Israel made a huge mistake as country supreme leader. Ayatollah al-Khamenei, he says that. And then at the same time, you see Reza Pahlavi, the exiled prince. He's everywhere. Stories about him going back to Iran. There's even a video of him in Israel going there with a yarmulke against the wall. So they say when that happens, like you're around the corner of getting the job, so we're going to show that. The betting odds...

You've got to trust Vegas because Vegas doesn't like to lose money. Betting odds. Iran's leader, Khamenei, is ousted this year, just skyrocketed. So for some of you guys that are gamblers, you may want to watch this one here. We'll get to that here in a minute. Israel, we are hitting Fordow with or without U.S. Bunker busters. That story came out. We'll show you that.

Trump privately approved attack plans for Iran but has withheld final order. This is a Wall Street Journal story. Trump says Iran's supreme leader is an easy target, saying, hey, if we want to take you out, we can take you out. Relax. We know exactly where you are. Pump the brakes. If you want to negotiate, this is your last chance. That is the position Trump has.

He has. Did you see what Trump said yesterday after Tucker called him? He claims Tucker called him. Did you see that? Yeah. Did you see it? I didn't see the clip. I have to show it to you. It's very interesting what he says. Very interesting what he says. I think it's important for everybody to see Trump's reaction to this. Trump reveals U.S. knows. Yeah, we covered that. Former CNN star slammed for vile jokes about Trump's dead ex-wife. I mean, you got to realize how nasty Trump is.

You got to get to get to those types of places. Massey, Democrats move to block U.S. strikes on Iran. That's political. Ilhan Omar claims U.S. turning into one of the worst countries in the world. Listen, leave. I would add another word to it, but I want to be respectful. Leave. There was a famous poet.

I'm trying to remember his name. He had this song called Move. Get out the way. You know what I'm saying? It was French. Yeah, that's what it was. Incredible poet, man. So San Francisco ranked worst run major city in America. Tom's got thoughts on that. U.S. may lose more migrants than its gains for the first time in 50 years. Arnold came out of nowhere on The View. And guess what he defended? He says, you're a guest here to immigrants.

You're a guest here. Act like a guest. Be grateful. And the view's like, whoa, this is too much common sense. But it also came from the guy that just three years ago said, screw your freedom. Screw your freedom. So I don't know if it's maybe he's having a change of heart. Who knows? Buss family. Big news. They sold the Lakers. The Lakers are officially out. They have new ownership. The ownership they had from 1979, I want to say, 46 years ago. They bought it for $64 million. Selling it for $64 million.

I think they bought it for $64 million, selling it for $10 billion. It's going to be a nice payday. Homebuilder sentiment nears pandemic low as economic uncertainty plagues consumers. JP Morgan Diamond, Jamie Diamond says, flashes ominous warning about economic downturn. Feds hold interest rates steady for fourth time in a row. Tears on the horizon at CNN as insiders reveal stars who may be cut. And we're talking real stars. Yeah, Tom was a little bit hurt by it, but...

Streaming surpasses combined broadcast and cable viewing for the first time. When you see some of the stuff that's going on there on who wants to go into the podcast game, a little interesting, but we'll talk about it. It's official. Streaming is now the king of TV, and then we got a few other stories that we'll get into here. R. Kelly, for some of you guys that were wondering, his mind was telling him no, but his body, his body said, you know, a complete different thing. So he is hospitalized after near fatal overdose.

in prison attorney claims it was plot to kill him who it was we don't know at this point some are claiming it's israel but uh you know who knows at this point who it is there's a there's a camp that's saying one kelly's taking money from qatar there's another camp that's saying he's got israeli money he's funded by apac who knows these are claims for some of the people on twitter you gotta

But, you know, it's who you listen to. So much information out there. It's too much. So I don't know if what really matters is, is R. Kelly pro-Israel or pro-Iran? That's a huge one. That's what matters more than anything else that's going on, obviously. That matters to me. For some of you that are literal people, that's a joke. Take it easy.

Take it. Relax. It's going to be okay. All right. So let me tell you, business folks, here's what we got. A guy named Jamie Hepp texted me yesterday. Look, it's so funny. He literally just texted me right now. Jamie, you texted me at 922, and I'm talking about you right now on the podcast. He says, my guys want to know what white shirts you wear. There's a few white shirts I wear. One of them is this Valuetainment white shirt. By the way, it hugs you. It feels so good. For business folks, this blue shirt that I got on, we got some blue, white, and black

It's got the future looks right on the bottom and the Vitae on the sides. But today, it's the gentleman's line. Rob, if you want to play the clip for folks to see if you're in business, you want to wear some good gear, here's some items for you right now with Vitae Merch. Go for it, Rob. ♪

Look at Saul in the back. Stunt. That's a nice Stefano Ricci collaboration tie, limited edition. That one's good. New Valuetainment blue ties, black, blue, white shirt, blue shirt, black shirt. I love that.

Laptop doesn't come with it, but everything else that we do, just want to make sure we make that clear. These polo shirts have that Valuetainment button on it with the VT logo. And I love the fact that people nowadays that are seeing the VT future looks bright. They're like, hey, me too.

I saw Armin the other day. He posted a video with the Valuetainment hat and Future Looks Bright hat. I absolutely freaking love it. Go to vtmerch.com, Rob, to see what the gentleman's collection is so people can see it. What do you mean? What about the prince that you've interviewed twice says in his statement, the future looks bright? God, I love the fact that this is becoming real around the world. But go sport it. Represent it.

So we've got different items that's there on vtmerch.com. We did not buy a lot of supply of these. These are $50, $48, $96. So it's not something that it's a lot of supply that we picked up. It's just for the business folks. All right, let's get right into it. Rob, can you do me a favor? Let's start off with...

Arnold. Arnold is on The View. Now, you guys got to realize, Arnold, you know, he made it at the highest level in Hollywood. He made it at the highest level in, not the highest level in politics, the highest level that an immigrant can make in politics, which he became a governor of now the fourth biggest economy in the world. He's on The View.

And he's talking about all this other stuff. And Rob, I don't know if we need to go through the whole thing on what he says. It's kind of selling the dream about the story. You can start it at the first 30 seconds and then we'll go to the last minute here. But here's him on The View. The moment it's a lot of logic there, you realize there's hands being put on him like, relax, you can't say that. Go ahead, Rob. You're an immigrant in this country. Did you have a visceral reaction to what they're doing, what ICE is doing when you see the videos of it?

Well, I tell you, you said that the immigrant, I'm so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people like that. I mean, imagine they came over here with the age of 21 with absolutely nothing. And then to create a career like that. You can go to the second half. I mean, in no other country. Okay, in no other country can you do that. So he's selling America. Go back 10 seconds before the hand gets on him. Right there, right there. Go for it.

That's great. So it's really a great, great celebration. This is what this is all about, is to celebrate people becoming Americans and coming to America and all that.

I just think the world of the great kind of history that we have with immigrants in America. But the key thing also is at the same time that we got to do things legal. Uh-oh. That is the important thing. They don't like that. And those people that are doing illegal things in America. What do you mean? Watch. They're the foreigners. Watch the head coming. Look at the right. They are not smart. Because when you come to America. Watch this. You're a guest. And you have to behave like a guest. Like when I go to someone's house.

and I'm a guest, then I will do everything I can to keep things clean and to make my bed and to do everything that is right for me to do rather than committing a crime or being abusive or something like that. So that doesn't really work in this country. So I think the important thing is when you become an immigrant...

to think about, okay, I go to America because I want to use America for the great opportunities that America has. There you go. In education, in jobs, creating a family, all of those kind of things.

Then you have to think about, okay, if I get all of those things from America, then I have to give something back. That's right. You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America and to pay back to America and to go and do something for your community. You can stop right there. That's good. Okay, Vinny, your thoughts here. First of all,

what a mistake on their part. You know what I mean? And yes, he has a past. You know this. I'm not a huge fan. The movies I love, but Arnold, you know, from the, you know, screw your freedom, doing all that. And then also, he has a checkered past with his housekeeper. All that stuff aside, I didn't have a good, like,

Sense of him lately. But this is that moment where they interview the wrong person, a guy that came here as a legal immigrant, massive success. Okay. And this is real bad. This is, you know, this is Arnold off the cuff, her trying to stop him. No sugar, no sugar coating. He shut down this freaking circus. And I absolutely love it.

And it's like, if you want to come here, okay, bring something to the table. All right, contribute. Respect the country. All right, that's not political. It's just common sense. And I love the fact that they're trying to get him like in a gotcha moment to further their criticism.

crappy view, this agenda, but I'm so happy. These are one of those moments where you're like, okay, I could disagree with the guy and I don't like the stuff that he said, especially with COVID and the lockdowns and supporting all that stuff. But this is a great moment for him. And I, I love that he said this. Tom, your thoughts. Well, there's two Arnold's that I've seen over the years. One is true conviction. And the other one is basically acting compliant crowd.

And, oh, screw your freedom. He was being compliant with the crowd. He was being pushed like all the Hollywood people. Hey, we got to stay with this. This is a talking point. This is what we got to stay with. And he got compliant. And at some point in time, I'd love to see somebody interview him and say, what was going on? Who was in your rear? Who was pushing you there? Because I think he was compliant. What I think I saw right here, this is the same man speaking with true conviction that

that as a young man, me, in 1984, when I went to a rally at Pierce College and I saw Ronald Reagan speaking on a campaign stump speech, Arnold Schwarzenegger was up there on the dais and said a few things. He had true conviction. So I think we're seeing Arnold many years later, older, but still the fire and true conviction. And I think he's speaking the truth of what he believes.

But then there's this other side where, you know, everybody in Hollywood gets compliant. And so they say what they're supposed to say. Have you read Total Recall? Have you read his book Total Recall? No, I haven't. It's one of my top 10 favorite books of all time. Really? Oh, let me tell you. It's a ridiculous book. I mean, you know how I judge a book? Is that I can't wait for a break to go in the bathroom and get away from everybody to just read or listen to the audio. That's exactly what I got from this book. Yeah, no, it's one of the greatest books I've read.

It's incredible. And you know what he talks about? He talks about how he screwed up in his marriage. He talks about what he did with his housekeeper. He talks about all the mistakes he made, the properties he bought in Palmdale, the good, the bad, the ugly, the Hollywood, the Joe Weider, whatever.

It's phenomenal to read it, right? I grew up reading his Mr. Olympia, the bodybuilding book that he had, the bodybuilding Bible. He had the best bodybuilding Bible out of all of them that anybody in the bodybuilding world read it. You went through it. The way he would do his workout, the push, pull, all this other stuff, the supersets, the way he would work out his chest. He was always known for having the best chest in the bodybuilding world. Won seven Mr. Olympias. Here's the only thing.

The part, he is one of the most fierce competitors of all time. If you watch Pumping Iron, when he went after Lou Ferrigno and he said, I'm always coming, all this. Yeah, he's an icon in what he did. Up until COVID, when he had that mistake right there,

And he went after Trump and he said, screw your freedom. And for a moment, he forgot, he lost perspective. And you know when sometimes you are so out of touch with making money that you think you're above people that you can't stop and have a conversation with them. And do you realize who I am? It was one of those moments like, you know, who do you think you are? Go get the vaccine. Put the mask on. Screw your freedom.

And then he lost a lot of people. I'm one of them. I went to Santa Monica Community College. He went to Santa Monica Community College. I wanted to be a Mr. Olympia. I went to Mr. Olympia. I wanted to go compete, be Hollywood, you know, Mario Kennedy, be a governor, all that stuff. And then all of a sudden you see things shift. However, bringing it to where he's at today, he said a couple other things in a couple other podcasts. Of course, it's tough when he followed Trump and he tried to get Prentice to go and Trump kept taking shots and

when Arnold was doing Apprentice and it failed. First of all, you never ever go and replace a show that's been number one for 15 years and think you're going to, there is nothing you can do better than what that person did. That's a big mistake that you made. I don't

I don't even know why your management allowed you to do that. If I was your manager and somebody said, Pat, I'm getting the offer to take over Prentice, don't do it. It's a career mistake. He's going to attack you the moment one few people watch it. He's going to come for your throat because no one's more competitive in that space than Donald Trump. He should have gone and done a different kind of a –

what do you call it, done a different kind of a reality TV show working with immigrants. He could have done different things, but he chose to go that route. And there's a level of bitterness of the comparison between him and Trump because this guy won in Hollywood, Trump won in media, this guy won in business somewhat. He's a half a billion dollar guy. Trump is a billionaire.

This guy won in politics, became a governor. Trump became a president. So he is one of those trifectas. We only have a few trifectas out there. He's one of the trifectas. You've got to give him credit for it. And if I have to isolate this one moment that he had with The View, I thought he did a great job and brought some common sense into people. Can I – so you want to move on, Pat? Yeah.

Did you hear what Whoopi Goldberg said yesterday? Yeah, I did. Whoopi Goldberg said that black people in America have it just as bad as folks in Iran. You know what I think, honestly? I think it's a competition that she has with herself. She's like, I'm going to say something dumber.

And ignorant than I said yesterday. It's like, what the hell is she talking about? She's sitting in an air-conditioned ABC studio flapping her freaking gums with a bunch of other morons all day. And a gated house where? Yeah, where? In Beverly Hills, probably. And then she's comparing it to women in Iran who get beaten to death for showing their hair because their hat is wrong and gay people getting thrown off of buildings. I am sick and tired.

and tired of Whoopi Goldberg. I mean, Rob, this is a long clip of it, and the audience clapping. Like, what are you clapping about? I'm tired of the victim shit. It drives me crazy, bro. And it's slow. But let's just remember, too, the Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings. They don't consider basic human rights. Listen, here's the thing. Let's not do that, because if we start with that...

We have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car. What? What? They used to just keep hanging black people. It is not even the same. I couldn't stop hearing that.

That's not what you mean to say. It is the same. No, it's not. The year 2025 in the United States is nothing like if I stepped foot wearing this outfit in Tehran right now. I'm sorry. I can't have my hair showing. I can't wear a skirt. I can't have my arms out. I'm telling you. You can't get raped. I literally said it was up to the Iranian people. Yes, it is up to them. And that's why I am saying that it is the same. Murdering someone for their difference

is not good whoever does it's not good that's an applause break so that's why i said you you weren't saying what you what i heard was not what you meant i yeah i think it's very different to live in the united states in 2025 than it is to live in iran not if you're black not if you're black not if you're black are you what is she talking about she is the main host of the show let me tell you about being in this country this is the greatest country in the world

But yeah, I know that. I know that. And we all know that. But every day we are worried.

Do we have to be worried about our kids? Are our kids going to get shot because they're running through somebody's neighborhood? What the hell is she even talking about? They are not big deals, and I don't mean to say they're not big deals to you. Because we're all women, and they are not doing well there either. Unbelievable. This is enough of the view for one day. A multimillionaire saying that that's a problem in America. What a, what a, what a, ugh.

By the way, this is why the show Her Take is going to whoop on these guys. I can't wait for a moment. Wait until 2027, 2028, guys, when 2027, 2028 comes. You know how many people tagged me yesterday on video saying, you know, this is Pat needs to fire Adam. This is why they're a pro Zionist. Patrick takes money from Israel and all this other stuff. And guess what happened? You know who at the same time was representing a show on us? Anna Kasperian.

Do you realize how many places you can have some... There couldn't be two people more on opposite sides.

That we are comfortable having on a show called Her Take so people can have a debate. And it was a fiery debate. Adam went on there and, you know, him and I had a conversation about one of the things that he did that an article was just written about. But out of all the things that happened with the show, the fight was one of the best fights ever. We like entertaining opposing ideas. It was such a great, I can't wait for Her Take to,

in 2028 to have the kind of voice where ladies around the world are saying, finally, a show that speaks on my behalf and it's four or five different voices. I'm excited about that. But when you watch Whoopi, this language of victimhood mentality, like Whoopi, you don't think this is getting old? Like you don't think this is getting old of always like,

Oh, my God. But you don't understand what it is if you're black. You don't understand that it's... What's the other girl's name that was making the argument? Farah. What is her name? Farah. Is she Iranian? Her last name sounds Middle Eastern, right, Rob? Is she Persian? Farah The View. Where is she from? Alyssa Farah. No, I don't think she's... Maybe she's married to a guy. Early born in Los Angeles. Farah is a Persian name, but I don't know if she's Persian. Where are her parents from, Robby? Oh.

Well, that guy looks like an uncle. That's her dad. That's her dad. Far right. Far right. Yeah, I don't know where he's from. He's in Patterson, New Jersey. Where is he? Yeah. Why the? Anyways, I don't know where he's at, but that mustache is a legit Middle Eastern mustache. That's a Christian. Strong mustache. Fat off.

That's a strong mustache. Go back to that. I just want to see it one more time. Look at that stache. Get in there. Look at that. That's a freaking Tom Selleck, homie. You can hide money in there, by the way. So, no, but listen, when I hear that language of, you know, victim mentality, it just gets super, super old to keep hearing things like that. Tom, economy. Okay, let's go into economy with some of the stories that we got here on business. Okay.

Let me see which one I want to go to. Let's go to this one first. I'm going to go to this one first. Fed holds interest rates steady for fourth time in a row. Some were saying maybe we get a quarter, maybe we don't get a quarter. You even said possibly, but you were more leaning towards nothing's going to happen, and nothing happened. As usual, Tom is right on these types of issues that's coming up. This is Jerome Powell.

getting up there to give the announcement that nobody wants to hear, but I think he's doing the right thing. Go ahead, Rob. It's quiet in there. It's like a library. He's a librarian. Good afternoon. Hello. My colleagues and I remain squarely focused on achieving our dual mandate goals of maximum employment and stable prices for the benefit of the American people. He didn't wait.

Despite elevated uncertainty, the economy is in a solid position. The unemployment rate remains low, and the labor market is at or near maximum employment. Inflation has come down a great deal, but has been running somewhat above our 2% longer run objective.

In support of our goals, today the Federal Open Market Committee decided to leave our policy interest rate unchanged. You can pause the right there. And that's it. By the way, it took three seconds for us to note that he's not changing anything. Tom, thoughts, what's going on here? So here's what's going on with the Fed. And I hate to say it this way. They don't have enough stats that are bad enough.

And he just said we're at near full employment. Yeah, we're only at 4.12 to 4.5, depending how you measure unemployment. That's low. It means a lot of people there. And you've got housing isn't moving. And so we need the interest rate to move housing. But does the stock market need the interest rate right now? Well, would companies take advantage of lower interest rates and go get loans for factories and machines and all that stuff and property? Sure they would.

But do you need to do it right now? Look, there's part of me that says I wish he would have done it because I think that will stay ahead of what's going on in housing. And because housing has got a tough moment right now. And I really think housing needs that. But if you look at the Fed dot plot up here in the Fed dot plot is all the Fed Board of Governors saying where they believe it's going to go. So they're allowed to anonymously vote in a dot.

This is all the Fed Board of Governors. And you can see the projection is one half of a percent below where we are now. So for year end, they're thinking two quarter point cuts. And that's what the Wall Street Journalist chart comes from saying.

And they're saying it's a 25% chance, the dot plot says, the cut comes in July and a 65% chance that the cut comes in September. September, back to school, end of third quarter. So what's going on right now is the Fed is letting the economy settle. But there's something that was in there that he said deeper into his bedtime reading, because if you listen to him speak about this, you can fall asleep.

I almost did. And did you notice that the very few people cover the Fed? There's like nine media people in there, and you hear they don't make a lot of noise. But he says, we haven't been able to feel like we've learned a great deal yet.

And we haven't been through a situation like this. And I have to be humble. Here it is, Pat. Be humble about our ability to forecast it, which we don't have. So we need to see actual data. So what he's saying is I'm not putting a streetlight at the intersection. I'm going to wait till there's a crash. Now I have data and then I'll put a streetlight at the intersection. That's what the Fed is saying right now.

And the housing market needs some help. I reached out to Bill Pulte, who's in the president's administration, and he's pointing out

As he has in lockstep with the president, we need interest rates to come down. And we've done our job on inflation. Inflation is down. Employment is there. So why not give a quarter point cut ahead of maybe any slowing of the economy or anything coming in the second half? So I agree with Bill on that. So I wish we could have had a cut, but I understand why we didn't. I'm okay with it.

with it. Did you see what Trump said about Powell and how he feels about him? I know he's probably not going to be happy about it. You're going to like it. I think this is also what he was asked about. Tom, I can't hear it. Go ahead, Rob. Go back. Go forward. I can't hear it. Now we have a man that just refuses to lower the Fed rate. Just refuses to do it.

And he's not a smart person. I don't even think he's that political. I think he hates me, but that's okay. You know, he should. He should. I call him every name in the book trying to get him to do something. I've been nice to him. I do it always. I don't know how to sell. I've been so nice to him, fellas, you wouldn't believe. Let's have dinner.

Hey, Trump is the only one that can praise you and shit on you in the same sentence.

You think he's a good guy and I hate his guts. And I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Trump is not wrong. Trust me, Trump is not wrong. But I'm okay with one more month. We wait. I'm okay. But you think it will change in a month? Yeah, yeah. Oh, for sure it will. For sure it will. For sure. In the next 60 to 90 days, they're lowering the rates. For sure they're doing that. And right now, you know, I think they needed this good news.

Because they need some kind of good news to be given. This was desperately needed. The market needed it. His administration needed it. It could have been a good positive distraction that they needed it. But Powell is Powell. You know, Powell is the guy that is not motivated about a lot of different things. By the way, what did Powell do before? What company was he? What was his career before? Rob, can you pull up Jerome Powell? Like, what was Jerome Powell's first job? Like, I actually want to know this guy's background.

Jerome Powell, what did he do before? So D.C., Powell, Princeton, George Washington, lawyer, working on 35, switched investment back in the mid-'80s. And who was he with, investment banking? Carlisle Group. So he worked with Rubenstein, okay, because we had him on the podcast. Rubenstein was on the podcast. He runs a very good podcast. 1990, Powell briefly served under George Bush. Powell left Carlisle Group in 2005, founded...

Okay. All right.

So let's see what happens here. But I'm telling you, I'm very comfortable with it. And I know why President Trump would not be happy about it. I wouldn't be either if I was the president. But I don't think it's a bad thing. But with that being said, we have a special guest in the house that asks technical questions. I don't know why she does it. If we can please bring her in here. Nancy, are you here? Nancy, how are you? Come on in. You are right here. Let me stand up and welcome you.

Great to meet you, Nancy. Hi, good morning. Hi. Good morning. Nice to meet you, Rapsana. How are you? I'm good. Great to meet you. Pleasure to meet you. Pleasure to meet you. This is Vinny. Very nice to meet you. He's the troublemaker here, so. I thought I was the troublemaker. I'm sorry. Well, no, we know you are. We know you are. But it's great to have you. So I got a question for you. You know, we watch you to see, you know, how much ruckus and chaos you create sometimes.

Why do you ask such a technical question from the former VP candidate, Tim Walz? I want to start off with this, if you don't mind, because this is an offensive question. I mean, you can ask some subtle questions, but Rob, if you can play this, the audience is deeply concerned about your question. Go ahead, Rob. What is a woman? What is a woman is the question. I'm not sure I understand the question here. What do you want me to say? This is...

I want you to say that a woman like me is an adult human female, that men can't become women. You guys are the party of violence, and you're the party erasing women. You don't respect us. You're a bigot. You're a misogynist. You're a sexist. Mr. Chairman, I yield back. You know, I was trying to listen carefully, and I had played it back a couple times, but

You sounded upset. What happened? If I sounded pissed off, it's because I was. No, it's just like he just ended his presidential career. I mean, there is no 2028 for Tim Walz. I buried him that day. Now, you have all these witnesses, these people that come to these big committees before Congress. They testify under oath. It's very, very public. And they spend millions of dollars, millions of dollars to prepare for these hearings for the toughest questions ever.

What they're not ready for are for the dumbest questions, the most simple, most common sense questions. And so this is just a thing I've taken up on. I just asked Democrats when they come before me, what's a woman?

And they just cannot answer the question. Who have you noticed that is actually willing to be reasonable and give the answer? Nobody. Are you serious? No, I'm dead serious. And so he sat there and I was like, are you effing kidding me? Like he just deer in the headlights. You were a heartbeat away from becoming the vice president of the United States of America. That's scary. And you can't define...

And if you can't define a woman, then you definitely can't define our rights as women. You definitely can't protect us as women. You can't protect our daughters. You can't protect me. I have no faith or confidence in you. And so for me, like looking forward to 2028 and the next, you know, what's post Trump, which I think is going to continue to be MAGA. But like the common sense that Trump brings to the table, we are showcasing these people for being crazy.

But here's this guy. I emasculated him so badly over the question. He's like, what do you want me to say? Did he talk to you afterwards? Like, was there a moment where you guys talked afterwards or no? No, no. I mean, I embarrassed him. Was there, you know, like...

He got completely emasculated, something I enjoy doing, by the way. I'll try not to do it here today. You enjoy doing that. I love it. Yeah, because they're not ready for the common sense questions. They're not ready for the simple questions. And when he just sat there and he had no answer and then he didn't understand the question and then he said, what do you want me to say? And I'm like...

Oh, my God, you're never going to be president. You will not be running in 2028. You're done. Well, I don't know whether, you know, it was because of that question or not, if he would ever be president, because the way he handled himself in the debate with J.D. Vance, that was one of the that's probably the worst debate performance I've ever seen, aside from Joe Biden's debate with the president, the first one where

Within the first 30 seconds, you're like, this is not good. Remember how uncomfortable it was? He said he was a knucklehead. No, no, I'm not even talking about Tim Walz. I'm talking about Joe Biden against Trump, the first debate. It was disturbing to watch it. The summer. Yeah. So, Nancy, question for you. High school. Who were you in high school? Were you always feisty? Were you always like this?

I would say I was a pretty normal kid. I mean, I struggled with things. Like, I failed biology one time, but I actually dropped out of high school. So when I was a junior, my third year, I dropped out of high school. My dad's a retired general. My mom was one of my schoolteachers at my high school. And they said, if you're going to stop going to school, you've got to start going to work. So I picked up a job as a waitress at a Waffle House on the side of the interstate back in 1995. That's where I got my start.

This is in Carolina? South Carolina. Wow. I lived in Columbia for nine months when I was at Fort Jackson. I was going to say, what were you there for? First time I went to Waffle House was in South Carolina. It's the best. They hadn't seen people who look like me in South Carolina. That's okay. Yeah. They serve everybody, and it's the best cup of coffee you can get for two bucks. Yeah. There was no inflation at Waffle House. Oh, we went hundreds of times. You can still afford to go there. I love it. So Waffle House, so general, did dad...

teach the toughness when you're raised by a general? The visualization of a father like that is everything's organized, top-notch, high pressure, high expectation. I would say he was tough as nails, and that's probably where I get my attitude from and my just don't give a you-know-what. But when I eventually would get my high school diploma, I would go to the Citadel.

That place toughened me up. I mean, when you're getting a face full of mud and they're telling you to do 100 push-ups more, I mean, you just don't care if you have friends in Washington or not. When you're sitting in the barber's chair and they're cutting your hair to where you have like an inch on top, getting screamed at and everything, you just, there's...

you know, nothing else to lose. Like that's what has hardened me for Congress because Congress is not for the weary. If you want to be effective running for office these days, you might get shot. So it's a very sort of very violent environment right now. And I mean, people are always throwing phones in your faces, recording you, cursing you out, yelling at you a lot of times. And so it's there's when you have

Very powerful people who've come after you, come after me, spending millions of dollars to try to get me unelected, and I win...

by record numbers, you've got to be tough for that, to be able to do that. When are you planning on being a little bit more competitive? When do you think that fire is going to show up? Because we've been waiting for it. You've been waiting for it. I was born, I came out of the womb breathing fire, walking on coals. I kind of see it. I believe it. So let's go to this other one. You had a clip here, because there is the Nancy Mays, the greatest hits. Rob, there's one where...

You know, you wanted to say this word over and over and over and over again. Watch this one here. Just a beautiful setting here, folks. Watch this. Go for it. The gentlelady has used a phrase that is considered a slur in the LGBTQ community and the transgender community. Let me please finish without interruption.

Tranny, tranny, tranny. I don't really care. You want penises in women's bathrooms, and I'm not going to have it. No, thank you. It's disgusting. Let the gentleman state his parliamentary inquiry. Hi.

How does a basic common sense issue like this, how do they keep fighting this? Like, don't they realize most of America, including Democrats, are not for this, but they keep pushing it. They're doubling, they're tripling down for one half of 1%, which if you just read yesterday, the Democrat National Committee is broke and they're losing donors left and right. And I think it's because they are doubling down on issues that average people, average Americans, average Democrats don't.

don't agree with. I don't know anyone in their right mind that would allow a well, fully intact male to undress next to their 12-year-old daughter in a locker room or shower next to her. That is just not a normal thing. And that's what the tranny movement, that's what this has become. It's like grooming, it's sexual, it's a fetish.

Um, and they are the party of violence and their party of pedophiles, the party of grooming and all those things. And it's now mainstream and it's, you know, I'm a girl mom and I'm a woman and, you know, I, I'm very supportive. I voted for gay marriage and I would do it again. I believe in freedom, like as a Republican, as a conservative, the government shouldn't tell you who to marry, right? They don't, I don't want them in your boardroom or in your bedroom. That's,

the libertarian in me but now this thing has gotten so far you know our rights are being erased women's rights i think gay rights too the trainees have taken over and and for what your mental illness like i'm not participating in your mental health crisis go talk to a therapist and don't find yourself in my private space because you're going to be quickly escorted or dragged on out how uh

In the world you're in, Congress, when you're in financial services, you're selling, you use your charm, your charisma, your looks, whatever you have, you use to try to get things done, right?

How often is it folks on the opposite side that disagree with you are super flirtatious with you? How often is it when there's policies going on and they come back and they try to, where you're able to win them over with looks, with charm and charisma? How often does that happen? Not often. I mean, it happens occasionally, but not often. I mean, we are like, we've dug our heels in. It's very partisan right now. It's more partisan than it's ever been. And...

I've done a lot of nonpartisan stuff, particularly on technology and cybersecurity and everything where I get all Democrats and all Republicans to vote for it, but I've never seen it the way that it is right now. How long have you been in? Four years. It's gotten worse recently.

Even in the four years? Yeah. I mean, Jasmine Crockett, wow. Like that lady, that woman's off the rails. You guys don't hang out on the weekends like that? Oh, hell no. I mean, no. That would not be a good situation. We'll just put it that way. You guys run into each other when you do. Is there any conversation or nothing? Not with her. I mean, when I first came in, I tried to give people the benefit of the doubt.

And talk to them. But they've just gone so far off the rails. I won't have a conversation with AOC. I won't talk to Rashida Tlaib. I won't talk to Jasmine Crockett and I will not be friends unless she can get her shit together and be a normal human. The last time I really heard from her in a hearing, she was telling me as a rape survivor that my fear was fake.

that I shouldn't have fear of men in private spaces as a rape survivor. And I lost my shit, and I told her we would take it outside. That's how angry it made me. So I have very little patience for any kind of BS right now, just none, zero, because our country is on the brink. Precipice really of going one direction or the other, and I'm following Donald Trump to the end of the earth to make sure we get back to where our country used to be. What clip is this, Rob, that you got here? Oh, that's that one. Let's see this one.

struggling right now so she gonna keep saying trans trans trans so that people will feel threatened and child listen I want you I am no child call me a child I am no child I want to find out which of those emails actually have I am reclaiming my time you will not do that I am not a child I am reclaiming my time if you want to take it out

Mr. Chairman, the committee is not going to... Oh, I love it. Oh, I love it. No kidding. And they all lost their minds. They're like, what, is she threatening a sitting member? It's like, shut up. It's a broken playbook that the consequence at the end of the playbook is increased lunacy and partisanship. Because the playbook is simple from the Democrat side. Step one, find a victim or invent one. Step two, be seen as the voice of the victim and then try to win the empathy voters of everybody that says...

Look how noble those Democrats are, what they're doing for this victim. But they're inventing a victim. And then what they have to do is once you've invented the victim, you have to actually construct something of an argument that gets more loony the deeper you go into victims that aren't victims in what you've invented to the point where you look and then CNN, you see Harry Anton on CNN. He reads all the stats. He even says, he says, look.

on Hispanics have gone this way and the African Americans have gone this way. They're losing their grip on yesterday's victims. So they have to invent tomorrow's victims. And then you have to go with down home language like that and be actually not very, you know, uh, uh,

She didn't look very mature, Crockett does, to just make an elegant point in the halls of the legislature. And so it looks more loony. And guess what? Then tomorrow, now we've got to find a different victim and we've got to even go weirder and we go wider. Let's add one more step to that because now in the last two weeks it's get arrested and get elected.

That's what they're doing. That's what Democrats are doing. Well, be seen as the voice of the victim and now get arrested for it. Assault people, get arrested, and get out of jail free card, and that'll get them elected. I think this is a failing plan. People see it. It's crazy. They're lunatics. Tell me, just to make sure we get on the record,

You're saying you're not going to support Jasmine Crockett in 2028. That's what you're saying. I just want to make sure. She does not have your vote. You know, I'm at 22.6% and dropping by the minute. Right. Okay. Got it. So I want to read you a story with Ilhan Omar. I'm sorry. I said that was negative 22. So we got Ilhan Omar, who is, you know, somebody you hang out with a lot, a

in the building. Her office is next door to mine. Is it literally? Is it literally? So you guys see each other regularly. I walk by it every day when I'm up there. Wow. So Ilhan Omar claims U.S. is turning into one of the worst countries in the world. I don't know if you heard about this or not. So far left representative Ilhan Omar stated in an interview on Democracy Now! YouTube page published Friday that

I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship and I don't even remember ever witnessing anything like that to have a democracy beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries where the military are now on the streets without any regard to the people's constitutional rights. So this is, is this the clip, Rob? Yes, sir. Go ahead and play the clip on what she's talking about. To be coming out of our country. I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship.

And I don't even remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people's constitutional rights, while our president is spending millions of dollars prompting himself up.

like a failed dictator with a military parade. It is really shocking and it should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say this is not the country we were born in, this is not the country we believe in, this is not the country our founding fathers imagined, and this is not the country that is supported by our Constitution, our ideals, our values.

You can pause it right there. There should be a limit for her. But what do you think about what she just said? Well, I mean, this isn't the country she was born in. As my first thought, she just talked about that. But one, she's saying she hates the fact. It's a fact. She's saying she hates the military. So to our men and women in uniform, number one, I want to say that's just not American. We support our military. The parade was one of the greatest things I've seen in my lifetime.

But quite frankly, I'm fine with putting on our one-way flight back to Somalia. You don't like it here? You think it's so bad? You have a dictator as a president who, by the way, loves freedom and loves the Constitution, loves democracy, and he's protecting it every single day. She can just go back to Somalia. Don't forget her brother. They can go together. And the new husband. Is there a conversation behind closed doors?

Because if anybody would know, you guys would know. Did she really marry her brother? There is yes, no, all these things. I wasn't in Congress when that went down. I am not sure. But I know it's the rumor out there, but I've never weighed in on it. And just recently the marriage certificate was online and it says his name. But people are like, yeah, but that's not her brother. But it kind of looks like it allegedly would be her brother.

On a marriage certificate. It's kind of weird. But you know what they call the mother? She's in Minnesota's, what, fifth district in Minnesota? Like, is anything positive coming out of there from the Tim Walz to her? But they call it little Mogadishu. They call, like, the amount of people that have been in trouble or on the terror watch list in that area, that's not pro-American. Trust me. And if she had it her way, it'd be freaking Sharia. They call it Shariaville. That's what they call that.

If you let people like that take over and run the show, that's what the show is going to become. And if you don't like this place, it is so easy. All you have to do, you could go to Orbitz, get a flight, and get the fuck out of here. I've seen parades in her district, and they don't have the American flag. No, they have Somalia. Because they got the Somalian flags. Of 100%. Did you say they don't have American flags? When they have parades and do all their stuff, protests, they... I don't think they would have a lot of American flags.

No, in her district. No, they're all flying the Somalian flag. And this is not Somalia. This is the United States of America. You don't like it, you can leave. Yep, bingo. Yeah, and here's a question, though, that I got for you. So...

You know how California or New York or Illinois, these guys try to turn Texas blue, right? So they would send people there to start working on a plan to turn Texas blue. They're long-term thinkers. It'll be a 10, 20. Like the Chinese CCP. Exactly. So they're like, let's turn Texas blue. Let's turn Florida blue. Florida turned more Republican because of everything that happened during COVID. Right.

Is there any suspicion of how long-term they're thinking where, you know, there's this discussion about a guy, whether he was from ISIS or one of these Hezbollahs, where he said, the difference between us and you is you guys have expensive watches where you can, you know, you brag about how much, you know, your watch is. We have all the time in the world. We will wait 10, 20, 30 years to seek vengeance on you, right? Right.

Do you guys amongst the community, when you talk to each other, sense that there's a strategy to move different Ilhan Omars in different cities to go into political, you know, become congressmen to have more control in cities so they can gradually spread this ideology amongst different cities and states? It's not at the congressional level. It's definitely at the local level. Look at that guy who's running for, yeah, local mayoral races, school board races, municipal races, city council races, everything.

and where they are turning those city councils like neon blue, they're trying to get illegals to vote in their elections. Look at the guy who's running for mayor in New York. I can't say his name, but that socialist guy or whatever that AOC is supporting, but they do it differently. We're always top-down as Republicans thinking about the biggest office and then on down, but we have forgotten bottom-up, which is where they have succeeded, and they've put these commies, these socialists, these...

people that are crazy and un-American at the lower level of offices that have more control over the people. Because the government closest to the people is the one with the most control, which is the scariest part. And by the way, it's a phenomenal strategy. If you're going to be doing it, you know, they're doing it the right way. They'll start because that's shaking hands. That's where you're in shaking hands versus you're talking. You're talking to your neighbor. That's right. So you're shaking hands. You're doing it. So long term, if this continues, we're

What is your biggest concern with folks like Ilhan Omar or Zoran Mamdani or others that are climbing the ladder and, you know, working their way up? What's your concern long term, 10, 20, 30 years on what America could look like if they continue doing this? Yeah, well, it's the importation of these people with this ideology. And it goes beyond Ilhan Omar and AOC. It's like we're importing this ideology into our country by having the free, wide, open borders that we've had for the last four years. And it's bad because...

Just last week in South Carolina, Conway, South Carolina, small town, South Carolina, a kid was just arrested because he affiliated with ISIS as we're planning a terrorist attack. This kid, look, I don't know. There he is. Um,

you know, young guy affiliated with ISIS planning a terrorist attack in small town, South Carolina. So the importation of this ideology, which I believe is coming from illegal immigration largely, and then spreading with the Democrat party, they're being brainwashed into this thing. And this is like a, this is like, this is a cancer and we cannot let it metastasize. Well, I,

You got to have law and order. You got to have people who are pushing back hard the way that Trump has. You're not here legally. Get the hell out. And just with everything, pushing back on all the crazy Democrat policies that have allowed this thing to fester, especially with the trans issues, too.

They've allowed that to become so mainstream. We're literally going to have to push people back with our words. People are going to have to get arrested. Like you have to draw a line in the sand and you've got to carry that line. You can't pull it back. You're in this world. So question for you. You're seeing what's going on in U.K., right? To the point where they've lost control. You know, London, top name. You know, kid name is Mohammed in a country like U.K.,

and you're now at a point where it's a tipping point, where we've lost control. There's nothing at this point that they can do about it, minus chaos, which will be, you know, they will be scared shitless to do that because of the amount of media attention it's going to bring.

When you watch what's going on there and then watch what's going on here, our Constitution, we have freedom of speech. You have, you know, Second Amendment, you know, arms. You got freedom of assembly. You got, you know, religion that I can have, whatever, you know, faith I want to have. You can't put a stop to it. Even in Plano, when they were building that facility, the big facility that Greg Abbott came out and said, well, they don't even have the permits and they don't have this. So what? They're eventually going to get the permits. It's going to take a year or two years, three years. They're going to get it.

As ambitious and competitive as they are, they're coming to a city near you. It's going to happen. There's a guy that was on TV explaining the fact that any church in Florida that's shutting down, they're buying it and they're turning into... Oh, you haven't seen this? Oh, Rob, play this clip here, Rob. I saw the thing in Texas. Oh, no, no. You got to see this clip here because they're building...

The Epic Center is one thing, but the part that matters the most is the ones that they're doing it locally. Watch this one here. Go for it. We are buying these churches. This is Florida. We bought three churches so far, converted them to masjids, and now we have one we are buying with the school to make it, because we have to serve the same people, the people who were part of that community. One day they will be Muslims.

So we'll make it into a masjid and an Islamic school for our children and their children, inshallah. A hundred years ago, they invaded the Muslim world and they built missionary schools and destroyed Islamic schools and masjids. Today, we bring the favor back, turn their churches into masjids and their schools into Islamic schools. Bring the light of Islam to here. We're able to buy, ready to go.

institutions that have been there for a long time but they emptied out

And now it's time to be filled with... Rob, you can pause it. That's crazy. For a man who's a Christian, myself, I got four kids, I'm a Christian, but also in America, the way the Constitution is written, they're not doing anything illegal. So you could say the religion of Islam doesn't work with Western ideology, which is true. Many people would agree with that. It does not, the way they have Sharia law and what they'd like to see if they have more control. But there's nothing you can do about it. So if it's math...

Like, you know, you look at the number one, Warren Buffett. You can ban Sharia law and make sure that they're not doing that on their property. Not if they eventually have more because, okay, so compound interest, this is how compound interest works.

Warren Buffett is today worth $160 billion. Do you know what he was worth at 52 years old? $336. He was only worth $336 million. That's a lot of money, but $336 million. But from $336 to now $160 billion compound interest, he probably didn't think. That's his net worth. That's what happened to him if you look at that. Look how small it was and then boom, skyrocketing. You take this chart and you put this in America and say what's going to happen with how much you're going to grow.

If they grow, and the next thing you know, they've got 150 people in Congress in the next 30, 40 years. America is no longer America. So how many people are sitting here being intentional about what this could look like in the next 20, 30, 40 years? We're not. We're not. We're not at all. Not at all.

And that's why you've got to push back. I mean, that's what little Mogadishu, what's going on in Minnesota. They've allowed that to happen. I can tell you in South Carolina, if I'm alive, that ain't never happening in my state ever. Like I would never, I would go in there and make sure that they're not brainwashing people, that they're not implementing Sharia. I'd take the law in there, law enforcement onto the property, make sure that they're not doing Sharia law. That would not be a thing. But they won't do it though. They won't.

The only time they can do Sharia law is once they're in charge. So I don't think they worry about somebody like you. I think it happens in the shadows. And I think, you know, once you get people who've witnessed it or can report it and be anonymous, you go in that way and do it. That's the only way you can do it right now is making sure you ban Sharia law and make sure that it's not a thing in that community. And you arrest those who are breaking the law. That is the only way you do it. But you have to have people with a backbone. You have to have a legislature who will say no Sharia law, that it's illegal. You got to have that law on the books.

either in your state constitution or in statute. And then you've got to have enough law enforcement to be able to make sure the law is being enforced. Because there is an effort in South Carolina near the Charlotte area to do something like this too. And that worries me. That's been going on for over a decade. So, you know, we are seeing it even in smaller states. If they're doing it all legally, there's nothing you can do about it. If it's all legal, they have more kids than you. If they have more, you know, partners than you. Like, you know...

I'd like to have 20 kids. I got four of them. My wife is done. She's like, babe, you got to find another person. I'm like, look, if we were in the Middle East, I would have four or five. Maybe we got to move to Minnesota is what I'm thinking. We go over there and we're like, hey, let's have those 20 kids. No laws in Minnesota. Yeah, exactly. It's a little bit.

They're Utah, but it depends on what strategy you want to take. But, you know, when you see this, they're doing everything the right way. They're not breaking the law. They're not doing anything that they can't do. They're making more kids. They're converting people. They're being fanatical, loud about it. So they're marketing and selling, you know, hey, come. This is what we're going to do. If you come with us, we're going to give you backing. And you're sitting there being tolerant about it and you're following the Constitution.

Nancy, I hate to say this. I don't think there's anything you can do if they keep growing legally. I think it is a matter of time purely due to compound interest unless if somebody steps up and does something real about it. I don't think the current Constitution allows you. What was something real about it? How would you define real? Well, that's your world.

That's why I have you here. I'm a regular guy. I'm just an innocent guy that's a business guy. I support churches. I support my church, which is planting churches. So it's the same kind of thing. We as Christians in our faith, we plant churches not just here in the United States but all around the world. So for people of faith like you, Jewish faith, Christian faith, whatever that faith is,

planting churches, planting synagogues. We have to do the same thing too. And we've been doing it for thousands of years and have to continue doing it. I'm a big fan of our church and the church plantings. Our church, Seacoast Church in South Carolina, has planted over a thousand churches worldwide. So we have to continue to spread the faith, our faith, our Christian faith. We're not having enough kids though. Oh, we're not. I have two. You've got to get one more. I know. I'm almost 50 though. So...

I think I'm out of juice. There were characters in the Bible that were having kids in their 80s and 90s. I tell that to my wife. It doesn't work. Every time I try to use that. It's never going to work. But you know what I'm asking? I mean, to me, I think about, Tom, are you processing what I'm saying on how, you know, I think we talked about this in Kentucky a couple weeks ago. Where did you end up with this? Where I end up with it is, you know,

You have two choices, and it's a very binary choice. You have the battle of battles in the United States to stand up and say, we have freedom of religion, but this one, long term, is a non-starter. That is the battle of battles, and that's where it is. And otherwise, they'll use the law and...

They will very legally expand their numbers and then go see what happens. You think a little Mogadishu is an issue. Wait until there's 50 of those individuals in Congress. And suddenly that whole wing of Congress, well, there's a little Mogadishu, the whole Congress. So the battle of battles is to stand up and say, hang on.

We do have freedom of religion. That was built at a time that this, this, this, this, this was happening. For Christianity. For our faith and for pilgrims. And remember, you know, they'll say, hey, you know, the Muslims are religious zealots with guns. Well, who are the pilgrims? They weren't exactly unarmed peasants.

And so that's where it is. It's turning the page and saying this doesn't fly and we have to create frameworks and legislation because otherwise the long term outcomes,

outcome of it is immigration, procreation, assimilation, and finally, then you get conflict on the legal forums and say, wait, why did we let this happen? Because the weeds grew in the field and you didn't make a decision back then. So check this out. Here's something that Tom just prompted that it made me think about. There's an insurance company out there called Thrivent, okay?

Thrivent is a fraternal insurance company. It's a Christian benefit society. The way you get an insurance policy with them is you have to admit you're a Christian. So if you don't and you have to read something out to them or else you don't get it. We were almost about to get a contract with them. The moment said you have to say this, we're like...

So not only is life insurance already so hard to sell, at the end of it, I would say, okay, you want to, here, let's hold hands and let's pray real quick before you get qualified for this. It's tough to do that, right? But in countries that are Muslim-driven countries, I don't know how many Christians can move up politically. I don't know if I have to have a certain denomination.

I think if somebody is coming in, like, you know, hey, you're in America, you want to become a citizen, you got to be able to answer these certain questions that you go through, whatever the 10, 20 questions they are. You know, who's this? Who's the vice president? And what is this legislature? What are the three branches? Okay, great.

maybe not for citizenship, but if you're going to go run for office, Congress, Senate, all that stuff, these are the values that we have. Now, I know that's going to scare the crap out of everybody because they're like, well, Thomas Jefferson was an atheist and this one, well, he's not, he was really technically this. I get it. I do think there needs to be something in place where, you know, an ideology that just straight up doesn't work with America. You can't come and create laws.

Period. You cannot come and create laws. And if we create that locally, state level, I'm going to get so much hate for saying this. I'm going to get so much hate for saying this. But to me, if somebody sits there and says, you know, I don't think it's that big of a deal. You know, it's just we're going to go out there and focus on the issues today. I'm a long term thinker. I think this is going to be a top five issue in the next 30 years. I think it'll be top five issue in the next 30 years.

And everyone's going to say, what do we do about it now? You know what you can do about it at that time? Nothing. You can't do shit about it. It's too late. Because the decisions weren't made today. And too often, all we think about is,

I'm paying my bills. I got my life. Everything is good. Everything is groovy. I'm straight. Okay, boom. Fast forward. You'll be 30 years going to come like this. I didn't think I was going to be 46 this quickly. I thought I was going to be 46, maybe a little longer than 46 years, right? I thought it was going to take about 80 years to be 46 years old. But time goes by fast. So anyways, I was just curious to know what you were going to say about this. Nancy, you got a clip on YouTube.

That didn't get 3 million views, 4 million views, 5 million. You got a clip. I don't know if you know this or not. It's got 61 million views. Is this the Twitter? No, this is this one. Oh, Hunter Biden? 16 million? No, no, not 16 million. 61 million views. The Hunter Biden one? Rob, can you go back and show her? I thought it was the vaccine one. Can you just go back and put this on there to see this? This clip went off the charts. I don't give a fuck, Richelle.

Okay, not that one, Rob. Rob is listening to hip-hop. There's a part of Rob that's hardcore gangster that we're trying to get it out of him. Let's listen to this first, and then we'll find it. Go for it, Rob. Where did you go to medical school? I did not go to medical school. I'm sorry? I did not go to medical school. That's what I thought. Why do you think you or anyone else at Twitter have the medical expertise to censor a doctor's expert opinion?

Our policies regarding COVID were designed to protect individuals. We were seeing you guys censored Harvard educated doctors, Stanford educated doctors, doctors that are educated in the best places in the world and you silenced those voices.

Wow. You can pause that, Rob. So when are you running for governor? Ha ha ha.

I have to make the decision. You have to make the decision? Yeah, I can't say I'm a candidate because then I have to declare, so we're thinking about it. Okay. And I'm dead serious about it. I just, you know, we're a red state, and it's supposed to be law and order and conservative, but...

It's not. I mean, I just found a couple weeks ago, Clemson University had 15 genders on a form on their website. I did a video on X. I called the president of the college. Three hours later, they took it down. I've had two other colleges have the same sort of thing. This gender-bending ideology is everywhere. States have funded it and allowed this woke DEI tranny stuff to happen. We had a sanctuary sheriff in South Carolina for the last four years, and

She wasn't working with ICE, and I found out she was letting hundreds of illegals out on the streets who were murderers, rapists, and pedophiles.

No one who was in statewide office said a damn thing. They could have they could have impeached her and then the voters could have elected a new one. But I just said, you know, this is we don't have law and order and there's a lot of corruption. And I've been through the system as a survivor and I see all the corruption between our solicitors, the lawyers that fund the solicitors campaigns, the corruption with our AG. Our AG had a case that he prosecuted with nineteen hundred phonecalls.

photos that this pedophile had convicted pedophile of toddlers as young as three, uh, being raped by animals. He had six indictments. Our attorney general, Alan Wilson, put them down to one and his sentence. Guess what? I guess how many days he served in jail. Anybody want to guess? Zero. Two years. How many days did he serve in jail? Less than a week. One.

One day. We have 353 murder cases in Charleston County in South Carolina. Are you serious about this? Yeah, on the docket. What is the name of this? I read about this. They're idle murder cases. In just one county, in a rural county in South Carolina, Sumter, kind of near Charlotte, upstate, they have 60 cases in one day.

Again, there's a case in Myrtle Beach that the Wall Street Journal has covered. Scott Spivey's name. I just met with the family and Loris on Tuesday. He was shot. They shot at him. They chased him down the road nine miles. They shot him 17 times as he was facing away, got killed by a shot in the back.

The AG wouldn't prosecute. Governor wouldn't do anything. Solicitor buried the head in sand. Come to find out with the tapes later, the shooter knew the guy was terrified, admitted he chased him down the road. I just no prosecution. So I'm actually trying to talk to the feds to get them to come in, not just in cases that I'm working on, but like the entire state.

Like, how does this happen? We have more pedophiles out on the streets than we have in jail. Murderers are out running free. Rapists running wild. Try to get a rapist convicted in my state. You can't. And so it's just...

I want if I if I do it, I'm going to be the drop the hammer law and order Trump in high heels. I'm coming for you. And if you're a pedophile, you ain't voting for me. You're voting for the pedophile protector, Attorney General Alan Wilson. Like I'm going to come for the criminals. I'm going to make sure our state is safe. Florida's done a great job under Governor DeSantis. Trump's doing a phenomenal job. And I want to bring his America first. How is McMaster doing?

He's a Republican governor. I like him personally. He's a Republican governor, but this has happened while he's been in office. And I'm a fighter, and I just would never allow a daughter going to college to allow men to share dormitories and showers with him. I mean, that's just the kind of thing that's been going on in South Carolina, and everyone has just buried their heads in the sand, and that is not America first. That is not part of the Trump doctrine. What has he done about it? Is he fighting it? Is he talking to you guys? Is he coming and saying, what do we do? No, no, no.

And I love him personally. He's a great guy, great family, nothing. Neither is my lieutenant governor, my attorney general, nothing. They're doing nothing about any of this. And I'm the one who's exposing it. The pedophile I mentioned, Donald Gresh, just got arrested for the second time. He violated, I think, a sex registry thing or something. But the only reason he got rearrested is because I've been talking about it on air. And so it's like I'm not even governor yet.

And I have forced these universities to stop, you know, putting trannies on their gender forms, on their applications for college. I've stopped one university from promoting cross-dressing on their website. You know, I have exposed what's going on, you know, in our justice system or injustice system. And I don't even hold state office. So that just says to me I'm the only one screaming about it that we need new leadership who's going to— What's this, Rob?

What's this? This was from two days ago. This was about the attorney general that was mentioned earlier, Alan Wilson. So can we look into Alan Wilson? Can you go a little bit deeper? Can you go to his profile? I just want to see what his background is.

So Alan Wilson, a member of South Carolina National Guard, 51st Senate, a member of the Republican Party. So this guy's a Republican. Wilson has litigated a block same-sex marriage in Fort McKenna, right? Challenge. Wilson was born, boom, boom, boom. Go a little bit to the right to see what we see. He's a nepo baby. He's the son of Congressman Joe Wilson. He's been in office for 16 years, and this shit's been going on with him as attorney general.

He likes to put out the press release, hey, we arrested this pedophile, but he will not put out the press release of what the conviction was if they get convicted at all. That's how bad it is. I need the feds to come in and take over our state because what happens is, you know, we have a legislature filled of lawyers. They elect the judges.

And then the lawyer, legislators and other lawyers, they they fund the campaigns for the attorney general. They fund the campaigns for the solicitors. In fact, the solicitor working on a case that I am a key witness in right now. Her last big fundraiser was headlined by the attorney for two predators who are being investigated by law enforcement. Evidence has been leaked to these guys, you know, and so the system is just so corrupt. There's I don't think anything going. You can't go back. I need the feds to come in and take over the state.

That's what needs to happen. You just made an incredible case as to why the people of South Carolina need a different governor. Yes. And there was a leak on the 17th two days ago that Alan Wilson's rally and formal announcement will be on Monday the 23rd, coming up on Monday. Correct. He is announcing he's had exploratory going for a while. Okay. So he's in, and he's in with money, Monday the 23rd coming up.

It says, when will the people of South Carolina hear from you about exploratory committee or definitive announcement? I don't do exploratory. You just made a hell of a case. Yeah, I don't do exploratory. Once I'm in, I'm all in 100%. They're just all in. I don't like the idea of exploratory. I am still in session in D.C. I'm still talking to family. I'm getting around the state, listening to people and hearing where they are. I'm not in a rush. Every poll that's out there, I'm ahead in every poll, which is not where you want to be when you're starting out.

running for governor. One or two in recognition. He wanted me two or three. Very strong. But I know that if I decide to do it, my sense is the people are going to be with me. I had a town hall last night. Democrats will tell you I never have town halls. We had a town hall last night. We had 300 people, at least RSVP, last night for this thing in

kind of a remote part of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Everywhere we go, hundreds of people show up. They don't have that. And I'm just making sure that I get my ducks in the row with my family. I've got two kids. I've got parents to think of. And I'm spending some time with my children over the next couple weeks. And we'll decide by the end of summer. So...

I want to make sure when I if I do it, I do it the right way. I run my own races. I don't play by anyone's playbook. I don't care that he's announcing on Monday. I think it's a terrible time. He leaked that he was announcing two days ago on the 10 year anniversary of Mother Emanuel, where nine black church members were murdered while they were reading scripture. So I just the timing of it, tone deafness. I'm not in a rush because he's not going to win. But him getting in might force me to run because he cannot be governor. I think you indirectly announced you're running.

which is we'll take it as an indirect announcement. When I run, it was an indirect announcement that was made. But here's a question for you. When you're as...

tough and strong and calling out and talking shit like you are, they're going to come after you. They are. Okay. So what methods have they already taken to come after you and target you? Oh, they leak stories. They use quote anonymous sources. They try to get you investigated by the ethics committee. They make things up. In fact, I can't tell you how many times I've talked to a reporter. Okay, they're accusing you of doing this. And I was seven anonymous sources and they're all disgruntled former employees because I fire people. I'm like Trump.

If I don't think you're doing a good job or you're unethical, you're gone. And so, well, we don't have the paperwork. We don't have a recording. We don't have a text. We don't have a receipts. They just said you did this. I'm like, well, show me the receipt. There was even a guy and I'm getting ready to file a lawsuit on this today or tomorrow or by Monday who, uh,

lied in a deposition to say I blackmailed somebody. And I literally have all the receipts. I'm like, no, we didn't meet when you said we meet, met. Nope, that trip didn't happen the way you said it did. Nope, I didn't wait to withhold evidence from law enforcement for a year. And no, I didn't blackmail anybody. In fact, the guy that's alleging blackmail actually

attempted to blackmail me last year. Politics in South Carolina is a very dirty business. So these guys will do fake depositions with fake subpoenas. In fact, this lawsuit, they filed a fake fictitious company to file a fictitious lawsuit with fictitious defendants knowing they were targeting me and then had a guy lie under oath and subpoenaed a subpoena that the judge never even approved and

and violated my civil rights, but I'm like, I literally have to sue them now, all of them, and I'm doing that today or tomorrow to say, here are the receipts, buddy, and here's where you lied. But in South Carolina, if you perjure yourself, do you think that they go after you for perjury? If they're not going after pedophiles that are having three-year-olds have sex with animals, it's like, what the hell are we talking about? So it's going to be in public and all that, but that's why I fight back, and I'm like,

I'm suing people who need to be sued and I'm holding them accountable and I will talk about it in the most public place possible to hold people accountable because it might be the only justice and the only truth that I get, which is why I am a fighter. Like I don't wilt. I don't flee. I also have post-traumatic stress disorder, which is why sometimes I go off in those videos because I feel like when you're being

Being attacked, whether you have PTSD, you either fight or you flee. And I sure as hell am getting out of there alive. I'm the only one coming out alive, so I fight back. So that's what I'm doing. What is the story that says the day Nancy Mays shows nude photos of herself in house hearing as she says she was recorded without consent? Yeah.

I did it in May, May 20th of this year. So about a year and a half ago, I uncovered some things that were very disturbing, including videos of me being recorded without my knowledge, without my permission, without my consent. I also identified other women that were recorded on this camera without their knowledge, without their permission, without their consent. And today, at a year and a half later,

Since I came forward to law enforcement with all this evidence, including metadata, photos, some video and other evidence, no one's been arrested. And if that can happen to a member of Congress and nobody lifts a finger because this is against the law. What is this? This is a hearing. I had an oversight about surveillance in private spaces, and that's my body. You can see the silhouette. It's I mean, it's.

Pretty tame. It's the silhouette. You can tell that it's me and my long hair and everything. But today, a year and a half later, no one's been arrested. And to have to say as a woman, we want to be believed. We want people who've

violated us. When this happens to you, and there were lots of videos and photos, I can't unsee what I've seen. When this happens to you, it feels like you're physically being raped. I have post-traumatic stress disorder of what I saw of myself that I had no idea was recorded. And it's humiliating. And I don't know, was this sold on the dark web? Was this going to be used to blackmail me in the future?

I have no idea why this individual did this to me. And he did this for years. And I undercovered the individual. Did you find my former fiance? Someone I was engaged to someone I trusted. I gave him my life savings. I owned property with him. I,

I found evidence going back a decade of upskirt photos, and I showed some of those in this hearing. And so, you know, I'm a key witness in an investigation. I'm a key witness in now a civil suit. One of the victims was allegedly sexually assaulted. It was filmed, and I found it on his phone. And so I just— Is your ex-fiancee conservative, or is he—I'm assuming he's a conservative.

I don't know what he is. I mean, I'm not going to comment on him. The only reason I'm saying that is because to see if it's something that the opposition is using to... Because they're going to come after you. You're loud. You're loud. You're nonstop loud. And it's not like you're...

Coming in like, hey, let me kind of relax and get to know everybody. Like, no, I'm here. Boom. You're full of shit. You're full of shit. I'm not going to do this. Tranny, tranny, tranny. Hey, what is it? Always. But the solicitor is very good friends with one of his attorneys who's representing two of the four people that I talked about in my floor speech in February. But, you know, I have evidence. I have knowledge of attorneys.

our solicitor obstructing justice for me and other women who are victims, either rape victims, allegedly, or victims of voyeurism in this thing. There's been evidence that's been leaked, and I believe it was the solicitor that leaked evidence to people who shouldn't have had it.

And the solicitor, Scarlett Wilson, is her name. Her last big fundraiser last year before her reelection was headlined by attorney Jerry Theos. Jerry Theos is the attorney for two of the four predators who are being investigated today. I have the invitation. I haven't made it public yet. But he reps my ex and one of his business partners in these cases. Wow.

And so they're leaking stuff and leaking information, I believe. And I believe she's the one doing it. And so it's just this corrupted system, and he should not. I mean, women just deserve justice. I just want you to do your job, follow the law, and put people in jail who've broken it. And you just can't. She doesn't want to prosecute rape cases, and there's a history of that in her office. She doesn't believe the victims. She's got a political bias.

against me. Unfortunately, I'm the key witness because I found all this stuff, but she's got political bias against me. And I believe, I believe that we can puncture the seal of qualified immunity and Scarlett Wilson. I hope you're listening.

I believe you can be sued. I don't believe you can be protected by qualified immunity because of the way that you have inserted yourself into this investigation and have obstructed the investigation. And if you get your shit together and do the right thing, there can be a different conversation. But right now, that's what it looks like. Wow. Scarlett A. Wilson. Mm hmm.

Oh, yeah, she's... Oh, and Jerry Theos, the attorney for these guys in this investigation... How do you spell the last name? T-H-E-O-S. He was the attorney for the pedophile I mentioned, Donald Gresh, earlier. It's just this nasty, corrupt... Everyone's scratching everybody's back. Nobody wants to go to trial. There are no trials. You know, you just plead down to the least...

least worst indictment, the easiest thing to indict on. Nobody serves jail time. Everybody gets rich, either with your campaign or your law firm with your clients who you're defending who aren't going to jail. Are you planning on at any time to slow down and not take the approach that you're taking? No. Okay, then this is going to continue. Yeah. This is going to continue as long as you know it. Oh, and they're coming after me.

Let me tell you, I mean, if you're willing to file a fictitious company, to file a fictitious lawsuit and have someone lie under oath, what else are you willing to do?

But, you know, I have a great legal team. I have great staff. I have a great platform. And all I'm going to do is tell the truth and the people can decide. But what I will tell you, because I've come forward as a victim, as a key witness in this thing, I'm learning about other cases like Scott Spivey's case. The family came to me. You know, these families are begging for help because there needs to be a trial in that murder case.

There was a kid that was just run over with a car by someone who was mentally ill in Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. And the family's not being informed by their victim's rights advocate in South Carolina about when the hearings are for this guy. In my case, I didn't get a victim's rights advocate for 11 months. And guess what? I had to go through the attorney general's office who denies he knew anything about it. I got my victim's rights advocate through his office.

And one of the rape victims didn't get her victim's rights advocate until the day of my speech, like an hour before my speech. So it's just, you know, and I've got people all over the state, hey, this case happened, this murder, this rape, this pedophile. I went to law enforcement. Nothing happened. And when I was also physically assaulted on my way out, I have bruises all over the left side of my body. And I showed it to law enforcement and was told point blank, we're not going to investigate it.

Like if that's happening to me as a prominent member of the community, then what's happening to the little black girl in North Charleston when she comes forward?

You know, victims are treated like criminals. Criminals are treated like victims. And that's what's going on, which I like. I'm going to be begging the feds. I'm working on it. It's a really long letter. It's taken a while. But somebody's got to take over the state and make right what's been so wrong in South Carolina. Sounds like the state's about to get a new governor. That's what it sounds like. I hope like hell there. Well, let's see. Let's see what's going to happen. She's going to make the announcement here soon.

All right. So a couple of things. Yesterday, Tucker had Ted Cruz on. 92 million. I'm just going to say that there are 92 million people in Iran. I know the answer. That is hilarious. But no, he had Ted Cruz on. Is this one? Is this the clip? Which clip is this, Rob? This is the population of Iran. OK, go for it. Play this clip. Play this clip, by the way.

I don't know the population. At all? No, I don't know the population. You don't know the population of the country you seek to topple? How many people live in Iran? 92 million. Okay. How could you not know that? I don't sit around memorizing population tables. Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government. Why is it relevant whether it's 90 million or 80 million or 100 million? Why is that relevant? Because if you don't know anything about the country... I didn't say I don't know anything about the country. Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Iran?

They are Persians and predominantly Shia. OK, this is you don't know anything about Iran. So, OK, I am not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran. You're a senator who's calling for the overthrow of the government. You're the one who claims you don't know anything about the country. No, you don't know anything about the country. You're the one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump. You're the one who can't.

figure out if it was a good idea to kill General Soleimani and you said it was bad. You don't believe they're trying to murder Trump. Yes, I do. Because you're not calling for military strikes against them in retaliation. And if you really believe that. We're carrying out military strikes today. You said Israel was. Right. With our help.

I said we. Israel is leading them, but we're supporting them. Well, you're breaking news here because the U.S. government last night denied, the National Security Council spokesman Alex Pfeiffer denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity at all. No, we're not bombing them. Israel's bombing them. You just said we were. We are supporting Israel. This is high stakes. You're a senator. If you're saying the United States government is at war with Iran right now, people are listening. Okay.

Your thoughts on this? Well, I learned that there are 92 million people in Iran. And by the way, over 60 percent of Iranians are Persian at 61 percent and over 90 percent are Shia. So after that interview, I went to a table of population to see what the makeup was. But

Ted Cruz is right. There are actually three people. I just looked up their names. Three people in federal custody currently for Iran has been trying to assassinate Trump. They had plans to. Asif Marchand, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Lodholt are people that are in federal custody right now as part of that. And also Iran also attempted to assassinate. He's also they've also tried to assassinate other people. They are a real threat. Yeah.

Former secretaries, et cetera, have had those threats on their life. But I'm with Trump on this. I'm with Trump on the Iranian-Israel situation. I was in Israel a couple months ago, and I've been briefed on what Iran had and did not have at the time. And I agree with Trump that I believe that they are close or were close to having a nuclear weapon.

I believe, you know, timetables, depending on what Intel you talk to, timelines might be slightly different. But everybody knows it's pretty close. And everybody knows where they're getting their sources from and what material Iran is getting from where. All of that is known. And it's been known for a long time. This is the closest they've ever been. And, in fact, I was really pleased to see last night, over the middle of the night, Israel bombed Iraq.

Eric, which is one of Iraq, which is one of their nuclear facilities that had heavy water that's used. You get plutonium out of that. And I hope that Israel sees this till the end and that we're going to be there. I actually texted the president two days ago and he texted back and I told him that we needed to take out their nuclear facilities. This is President Trump. Yeah. Mm hmm.

And even if we had to give them a 30,000 pound bunker buster to do it in the B2, I think we should do it. We have an opportunity now to put this to bed and the world will be safer. And the media won't report on it now, but there are major Gulf states who support Israel's effort. Nobody in their right mind wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon. I also don't want our troops in Iran. I don't want no feet on the ground, no soldiers in Iran, just like Ukraine, no.

But if we need to provide some equipment like we did with Ukraine to Israel to finish the job, I'm OK with that. But we have allies in the Middle East, large Gulf states who are supportive of this effort. Can I ask a question? So, Nancy, because I'm going to give you what do you say to the people that have seen, for instance, Bibi Netanyahu for 40 years saying, OK,

Iran is two weeks away from a nuclear weapon. Two years later. And now it's gotten to the point where the people are questioning the intelligence because, for instance, if I want – and mind you, Bibi is –

very, very unlike in his own country. There was about to be a revolution before October 7th happened. What do you say to the people that are like, you know what? Just like when I was in the United States Air Force during Bush, trust me, one of the reasons I left was because they lied. They did lie. Which Bibi was one of the main voices saying,

Saddam Hussein has nuclear weapons and taking out Saddam would cause positive reverberations throughout the region. It did anything but. So what do you say to people that are like, hey, listen, Israel, and I get it, he wants, he doesn't want anybody to freaking have nuclear weapons, especially Iran that says, you know, they're little Satan and we're big Satan. But what do you say to people that this story seems like it's the same story? That's one question. And the second one is,

What is the plan for the regime change? If you're going to go in there and take everybody out, we've talked about this. Is there a plan kind of behind the curtains that's like, okay, Reza or somebody? Because if you just take everybody out, those 92 million people are going to be like, who, what?

What about us? What do you... Yeah, no, I was with you on Iraq. The whole weapons of mass destruction and what we did to our country, taking away our liberties after that, spying on Americans and everything, and we were lied to. The difference here, this to me, it feels different. I have been briefed. I have been in a skiff and heard some of the intel that has been acquired. Now...

you know, different intelligence agencies and countries might have a slightly different timeline, but it's all the same. They're very close based on, and that's what Trump said the other day. And I, based on what I've been briefed on, I believe that he is right now with regards to regime change, that's up to the Iranian people. Over 80% of the Iranian people do not want the Ayatollah in power. They're not, they don't want the Mullahs, the IRGC, uh,

Common eye, like they're not in on this. And so it's,

I have worked a lot of human rights around the world. I've worked a lot with Iranian former political prisoners. And my sense is with the Iranian people, one, they don't they want a regime change. There's a shadow government of people there that would take over that want freedom, that want democracy, that want a non-nuclear Iran. You have the former king, as you mentioned, potentially you have Miriam Rajavi as well. She's in Europe. There are leaders around the

the world and nearby that would want what the Iranian people want. If we, you know, I urged the president not to do a deal with the, with the Mullahs or with the Ayatollah. I just said, give them the bomb, give them the plane, take out their nukes. But we know that they are doing this. We know that they're violating their agreement and they've been doing it for years. Now they've been inching along, but they're closer than they've ever been to,

Because of places like Russia, because of the Chinese who want to see this access of evil. And we can't we in Trump has said it for 15 years, we can't allow them have a nuclear weapon. So if Israel has to do it by hand and march into the mountains, then

afford out and do it, then do it. Like, whatever it takes. And I think naturally the regime will topple and there will be freedom-loving, democracy-loving Iranians ready to step in. Over 80% of them don't want this. Here's the thing, Rob. If you can play the clip of Trump talking about he got a call from Tucker apologizing and they were going back and forth. Yeah, this is it right here. Watch this here, the exchange. Tucker's a nice guy. He called and apologized the other day.

because he thought he said things that were a little bit too strong. And I appreciated that. And Ted Cruz is a nice guy. I mean, he's been with me for a long time. I'd say once the race was over, he's been with me ever since, right? But very simple. If they think that it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, then they should oppose me. But nobody thinks it's okay. People that don't want... I don't want to fight either. I'm not looking to fight. But if it's a choice between fighting and

Them having a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do. Maybe we won't have to fight. Don't forget, we haven't been fighting. And if Ted, I can't imagine that Ted Cruz said it's okay for Iran to have nuclear, including Tucker. I don't think Tucker says it's okay. The problem is then they get themselves into a thing. They don't want them to have nuclear, but then they say, well, we don't want to fight. Well, you're going to have to make a choice because it's possible that you're going to have to fight for them not to have nuclear.

And it's interesting because I did ask Tucker, I said, "Well, are you okay with nuclear weapons being in the hands of Iran?" And he sort of didn't like that. He didn't want to really talk, but he sort of didn't like that. And I said, "Well, if it's okay with you, then you and I do have a difference." But it's really not okay with him. Therefore, you may have to fight, and maybe it'll end, and maybe it'll end very quickly.

But there's no way that you can allow, whether you have to fight or not, you can allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon because the entire world will blow up. I'm not going to let that happen.

About not letting them have a nuclear weapon? No, about the exchange. I mean, the whole thing. What do you think about what... I mean, I do think Tucker called and did apologize. I mean, he's not going to have the President of the United States as an enemy. I think those conversations are happening. And here's my thing. If it's factual proof, I love to see the proof of where they are at these stages. And I'm not saying... The part I'm asking you is the following, because there's one thing he said here. So he said...

Okay, so you don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. All right, so what if the only option is to fight to be able to have them get rid of a nuclear weapon? Then what do we do? So let's just say everybody agrees they don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons. Minus 5%. I agree that I don't think Iran, with that leadership, should definitely not have a nuclear weapon. Okay, so let me ask you a question. At what cost? So is it...

Let them have nuclear weapon, but we don't go to war? Or look, man, if you're not going to give up the nuclear weapon, we've got to go to war. No, I think first I want zero American troops on the ground at all because if it's going to escalate to that point, I don't want any United States. So perfect. So what you're saying is, again, this is okay. It's just your opinion. What you're saying is the fact that I would much rather have Iran have nuclear weapon with no troops going there, going to war.

No, I don't want them to have nuclear weapons. What Trump is saying is, what if that's his argument that he's making to Tucker? He's talking specifically to Tucker in this video. That's my impression of what I'm getting. He's saying, OK, Tucker, so what do we do? You don't want troops. No problem. And you don't want them to have nuclear weapons.

What if they don't want to negotiate because they're just not seeming like... Here's a clip on what they just said. It says, Iran will never surrender. Israel made a huge mistake, says country's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. This is what he's saying. You know, go ahead and play this clip, Rob.

"With a clear statement of threat, and in contrast, an acceptance from the Iranian people, I will quickly surrender to him. When a person witnesses these things, he really does not let the threat affect the behavior of the Iranian people."

Surrender to what? Iran is not a nation of surrenders. We have not assaulted anyone. We will not accept aggression from anyone. Nor will we ever surrender to anyone. Okay, so you can pause it right here. So the question is the following. This is the difference between being a podcaster, being a pundit,

being a person that just says what they say, this is my opinion, here's what I think, versus you're in the situation room. Since the president's been president for four and a half years,

He was in the situation one time in his first four terms, Rob, which was what? The first time was what? That he was in the situation. Soleimani, right? Yeah, Soleimani was the first time. And then last Friday following Thursday night's bombing in Iran was the second time that he had been in the situation room. And then earlier this week made the third time. So he's been in a situation room three times. Once in his first term, two times in the last week. Okay? Two times in the last week and a half, give or take.

This is what I'm asking you. Don't think like a pundit. Don't think like a podcaster. Don't think about, let me say what it is to go viral because I want the community to like and retweet and all that other stuff. Because sometimes that's how the market thinks about it. Think about it from the standpoint, you were in the military, I was in the military. You're Air Force, I'm Army, right? Both of us were not supportive of the Iraq War. Spent trillions of dollars, wasted time, bullshit. It was full of it. They were just kind of using propaganda, 9-11, all this stuff. I don't want to get deep into it. I've done plenty of interviews where people know where our position is with that.

Don't support, they get nuclear weapon. If you have to choose, you can't do one without the other. We do nothing, they get nuclear weapon. Should we do anything? Should he attack the way he did with Ghassan Soleimani? Attack what?

Because here's my thing. So say Israel can't do it by themselves. But here's my question. Do you think Israel doesn't have the capability to do this by themselves? I do too. So why do we have to get involved? No, I know. All I'm saying to you is I think they do. Me too. And I want this to be their fight. 100%. To me, like when the boys are fighting, you've seen me when I'm with the kids. I'm like, listen, I'm out of this one. Go in and fight it out. It's up to you guys, right? Yeah.

But if it gets to a point that I need to get involved, do I let them fight because I know one of my sons knows Muay Thai and allow him to beat the crap out of the other one? No, no, no. Hell no. So at what point...

If something happens that they're simply not willing to do it, should we get involved? Okay, see, okay. Now, if it's up to that point where they are and they're trying to move like that, then they're putting us in a situation that we have to. For right now, I think Israel could take it by themselves. But watch what you just said, Vinny. Very important because when you and I talk, you're a reasonable, logical guy. So you just went to, if it gets to the point...

that shit could hit the fan. No matter what on your list is, you don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons. I do not want, period. 100%. I don't want them, with this leadership, this guy, that right there, burning the American flag, hell no. Hell no. But again, I am about, and I get it, he's in the situation room, the intelligence, if the intelligence is correct, coming from Israel, that they're there, that they're right there, and this is the attitude of

Up to a point, let Israel do what Israel has to do. But if we have to get involved because they can't do it and this guy wants the nuclear... You know what I would actually be saying to Netanyahu if I'm speaking to him? As who, though? If I'm the president and he's asking me questions and saying, hey, I need your help. You know what I'm going to say? What happened to the fact that you guys have the greatest military in the Middle East? I thought you guys had the greatest air force. I thought you had the greatest intelligence.

No, I think what's important for the world stage is you'll go finish and show how strong you are. You show power without anybody helping you out. You go do it. That's what I'm telling him. Why? Because that solves two things. What? One problem was solved by me not using my troops. Two, the world is now seeing that they did it. You take ownership of what just happened there, what happened with Israel and Iran. But...

On the flip side, and I'm going to come to you here, Nancy, because I'm curious on what you're going to say here. On the flip side of it here is where we hear stories that says...

Where's the story that Israel says they're asking troops for? Okay, Israel president calls on the world to help destroy Iran nuclear sites, right? And I think there's even one of them that's talking about he's asking America. Is this it? Yes, sir. Go for it, Rob. There's a bigger picture here that the world and the American people should understand. We have to stop this empire of evil no more and tell them, get the goddamn nukes out of your hands and

and start behaving in a decent way and not be the rogue state you are all over the world. It's impossible. Would Israel like to see the U.S. at this point join in with direct offensive military action in Iran? So as you see, the Israeli leadership is quite cautious. It's a decision that needs to be taken by the president and his team. So obviously we would welcome anything that helps Iranians

eradicate the Iranian nuclear program completely, including the main two sites at Fordow and Natanz. Pause it right there, Rob. This goes to Israel. We are hitting Fordow with or without U.S., bunker busters, right? Do you have that story right there? There's a clip on it right here, Rob and Nancy. I'm coming to you right after this. If you have this clip, Rob, there's a clip that says, Israel, we are hitting Fordow. Right here. Go for it.

around the possibility of an Iran deal is the destruction or the dismantling of the Fordow nuclear enrichment center. Is that a prerequisite for a deal? Is that a red line for you? No, it's just something that people talk about having. We're the only ones that have the capability to do it, but that doesn't mean I'm going to do it at all. Yeah, we have the best military equipment in the world. You see that with this fight. We have planes that are undetectable flying around like

Nobody's able to see him stealth. You guys want to be stealthy tonight. You can be stealthy and never lose, right? But these are incredible planes and weapons. We have the best weapons in the world by far. Nobody close. And we're, I mean, certain countries take advantage of that. Israel has incredible weaponry. So we'll see what happens. I have not, I have not.

I've been asked about it by everybody, but I haven't made a decision. Israel National Security Advisor Tekhtia Kanabi stated in an interview channel, Israel's operation against Iran will not end without damaging a foreign nuclear facility, which is 90 meters underground and houses thousands of uranium-enriched centrifuges. He acknowledges, I don't know if the U.S. will join, noting ongoing talks with the U.S., but no effort to persuade them. Conventional wisdom suggests that U.S. bunker-busting bombs

can destroy Firdo as Israel lacks such munitions and strategic bombers? That's the tricky question right there. Go for it. So number one, I just want to say I trust Donald Trump. I don't think he's going to do anything without seeing it for himself, the intel. He's not George W. Bush. I mean, he's...

He knows what he's doing, knows what he's talking about. He knows what he's seen. And if they tell him, hey, this is what's happened, he's going to want to say, show me. Right. And so he won't make a decision, I believe, without all the facts and information and intel. Number one. Number two, I think, you know, Israel, their their heaviest bunker buster is five thousand pounds.

Like they might, they've even admitted today, I believe, that they might need to go in using humans if the U.S. doesn't help. We have, as you all know, the B-2 aircraft that are needed to drop heavier bunker busters. We have a 30,000 pound bunker

bunker buster bomb, which would need a couple of them, do the trick. We think it would do the trick. I don't know if you need anything more than that, but we definitely have equipment and munitions that would work that Israel might need to use. I'm okay with us doing that if that's what Trump decides. That doesn't mean we have troops on the ground. I think we can do it without. But lastly, deposit this idea. If we allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon,

We either fight now or we fight later because Iran's going to drop that nuclear bomb on Israel or somewhere else no matter what. They've stated that. They've told us what they're going to do. So we're going to war. Now we're going to war later. Let's do it without troops on the ground. Much better, safer, safer.

for everybody because there's going to be war with Iran no matter what, whether it's right now or whether it's 10 years from now, 20 years from now, whenever that happens, they're going to drop a nuke and there's going to be World War III. We avoid World War III with watching Israel. Israel take the lead, do it. If they need some of our missiles or bombs, I hope that we provide it and keep our troops out of it. That's the ideal situation in my opinion. Tom, thoughts? So I also trust President Trump and the decision here is...

very straight. It's like, Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb. Part one, Israel gets challenged or told, look, you got your military, you got everything like this, and you got a lot of the stuff from us. You got some of the best stuff from us. Go do it. And it said, well, we need this and this. Okay, well, you give that. And that's where the slippery slope starts.

That's when the French were flailing in Vietnam. Well, we'll provide some advisors. Well, we'll provide limited assault infantry support. Well, we'll do this. And all of a sudden you find yourself in it where I don't want to be. I don't want to be boots on the ground. I don't want to be in it. But if we've got the best delivery mechanism, the B2 delivery platform, and we've got the best bunker buster bombs available,

Although I've seen all the diagrams of this. The Bunker Buster Bombs, Tom, is that the one that goes three phases? One, two, three? Right. It is a very... Can you break down to the audience what the Bunker Buster Bomb... It's designed to go...

it's delayed fuses on multiple levels, and it's designed to build a hole for itself and then have the bigger explosion down in the hole once it's there. And the design is when you have an enemy deep underground and building bunkers, you have to get through all the soil down to a level to provide a dramatic explosive concussion downward. And the

what Representative Mace was just talking about is Israel's got 5,000-pound bunker bunters. Now, a 30,000-pound bunker buster, I mean, that's 15 tons of trouble that comes down, initial explosion, delayed fuses, and then the massive explosion. Now, what if it doesn't do it? What if it doesn't do it? And you've got this tunnel that goes deep into the mountain, see? Yeah.

See, they go penetrating in and then and now what have you got? You got it. OK, who's going to be Luke Skywalker and fly to the center of the Death Star and put the bomb down this this long tube that goes down? And so the question really is, is what if the bunker busters don't work? What if these things are so deep? Do you have to put basically elite infantry on the ground to get there and to go all the way through this thing? Do you have to assault photo art?

Israel has elite infantry. That's my point, yeah. And it's like, support them. But if the bunker busters don't work, Israel has to go in with elite ground troops to go down these tunnels, penetrate the whole thing, and then do it down deep. And that's where it gets nervous for me. But it goes back to my first point. You may not have nuclear weapons, and you've built this facility, and one way or another, this facility has to be compromised. And...

I like the idea of helping and supporting. I hate the idea of doing it. Yeah, so that's so funny. That is so weird. So regardless, they need our weapons, but they got the soldiers. They need our weapons, but they got enough of, you know. They might need one of our pilots to fly the plane. Yeah. I was going to say, Pat, I don't even think it's going to happen. Didn't they not elite? Vinny, help me out. Didn't they get elite pilots?

of their own, the equivalent of Green Berets, in, and they created drone launch points. Oh, yeah, guys. They had a factory, a drone factory in Iran. In Iran. Let's not forget. And by the way, they put pagers in Hamas. Guys, they are so advanced. And I don't even think it needs to get to any troops, not even Israeli. The technology they have from the air is absolutely ridiculous. It's one of the best in the world. It's just, if they have it, get it.

get it over with. Knock out the freaking facilities. I don't want any human beings dying the less as we can. And just get this guy out. We have to get this Khomeini guy out of power. That type of mentality and that type of leadership, it's not helping. Anybody that's saying death to America, it's only a matter of time until that guy does something stupid to us. I'm not worried about the people that say it. I'm worried about the people that build capability

Oh, no. But mind you, though, that guy, that guy that's saying death to America, how many of those people through the open border for four years you think are here, Nancy, waiting, waiting for that call? Because a lot of them were giving cell phones. They're all, go, here's money. Go stay wherever you're staying. Thomas Holman said we're going to have – he said this from his mouth. The borders are – we have something that's going to be coming that's going to be –

Worth the 9-11. Sleeper cells can create low technology havoc on citizens. That's horrifying. Did you see this funny exchange when the guy, when the lady's asking, so when are you going to be attacking Iran? Did you see that one clip of Trump? Oh, yeah. Because I'm going to tell you. Of course, I'm going to tell you. What time is it? Watch this here.

"About whether you are moving closer, you believe the US is moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities. Where's your mindset on that?" "I can't say that, right? You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question. Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? And what time exactly, sir? Sir, would you strike it? Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch? I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know. I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do."

So funny. He's the best. It makes you miss Donald Rumsfeld when he's in the movie.

Donald Rumsfeld. No, we don't miss Donald Rumsfeld. No, I don't miss him at all. I don't miss what he did, but there was a moment what he said was actually kind of funny. We were told, you know, they're going to be protesting against Americans and everything on Saturday. It's a big demonstration in the middle of the street. He says, so a large group of Al-Qaeda in the middle of the street at noon on Saturday are going to be demonstrating. Yes, sir. And he said, would you happen to have the coordinate?

That's actually pretty smart. I don't know if Donald Rumsfeld's ever gotten a shout-out here, Tom. No, I'm not. You've got to take ownership of it, folks. I don't give him a shout-out for that. I'm just saying in the annals of politicians at the microphone. I think that's qualified as a shout-out, Tom. All right, let me go to the next thing here. While this is happening,

He is, Trump reveals that he knows exactly where Iran's supreme leader is hiding, won't take action for now as he convenes with leaders in Situation Room. It's an easy target, is what he said. We know exactly where he is. It's an easy target. We're not going to kill him, take him out, kill, at least not for now, but we don't want any missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your patience. Attention to this matter. Laughter

It's like a memo. And what's crazy is with all this stuff, for some of you guys that are gamblers, betting odds, Iran's leader Khamenei is ousted this year, just skyrocketed, according to media. Check this out. Rob, you can pull up that story here. You can bet on anything now.

Oh, no, there's definitely this going on. President Trump posted on social media, we know exactly where he is supremely, not the easy target, but say we're not going to take him out. Not for now, but now, Mr. Trump, go. And demanded unconditional surrender. Polymarket reported, traders project Khamenei will be removed from power this year, over 60% chance of it happening. That is insane. With odds jumping from 22%

to 60% since Israel's strikes on Iran began. Look at this, just in the last, and it was declining, January, February, March, April, May, declining, boom!

Skyrockets. Polymarkets, social media stated, breaking things are not looking good for Supreme Leader of Iran as Trump demands an unconditional surrender. And later, odds Iran's Supreme Leader out this year just skyrocketed, citing Trump post. Calling Ayatollah Ali Khamenei an easy target. The platform defines removal as if Khamenei resigns, is detained, or otherwise loses his position or is prevented from fulfilling his duties as Supreme Leader of Iran by December 31st.

Of 2021. So this is not about just getting killed. Resigned, step away. There was even rumors that Khamenei was, you know, leaving the country. A lot of his leaders were leaving the country. Even there was a story yesterday that Ahmadinejad was killed. We immediately got a message from his camp saying, please make sure you tell the people we're not killed. I'm still around. He was alive. That was a false alert. But what do you think about this polymarket, Khamenei? What do you think is a likely outcome?

that the regime's going to change here before 2026? I'm surprised it's only 61%. Really? Oh, yeah. The Iranian people, as soon as he's out...

I do believe they're going to rise up. You have young women protesting in the streets in Iran, taking their hijabs off. I mean, they are – these young Iranian people are heroes, and they are just ready for their moment, and I think their moment is going to get here sooner than anyone else believed. Well, this came out yesterday. Rob, can you put the full tweet so we can read what the tweet says? Oh, I have to grab that? Yes. You just go to his account and you'll see it, but he posted this video yesterday saying,

and said specifically the future looks bright for the Iranian people, something like that, with his tweet, and then put a video up that I think got 20 million views, if I'm not mistaken. A lot of commentary with that. Can you translate that one? Not that one. There's one in the, go a little bit lower, Rob. That's the one. Okay, so Islamic Republic has come to an end.

and is falling. What has begun is irreversible. The future is brighter, and together we will navigate through the sharp turn in history. Now is the time to stand. It is time to take back Iran. May I be with you soon. And if I'm not mistaken, was he in Israel yesterday, Robb?

Can you pull up that clip? There's a clip of him being in Israel, walking around. I think, is this recent? Do you know what the timeline of this is, Rob? I'm not sure of the timeline, but this is the clip. Okay, play the clip. This is him in... Might be old, Pat. Could it be old? I think. He's in Israel. You're at the wall.

Yeah, he's at the wall. It looks kind of peaceful. I mean, Hadiyah would be a little bit crazy. The question is, I don't know if this is... So you're saying this is maybe in the past when he did this. So who knows? A lot of people are saying that he's going to be returning to Iran. Some are saying it's going to be some folks internally. But regardless...

Nancy, what you're saying is you're thinking this thing's going to get done sooner rather than later. I do, because if they take out the Supreme Leader and they've taken out all of his top brass, there will naturally be a regime change. The people are not going to tolerate this again. They're just they're tired of it. There are so many political prisoners that are out now.

They're going to rise up. I do believe they will rise up. I believe this is different. I could be wrong. We could be back here a year from now and be like groveling. I'm so sorry I was wrong. But I don't think that's I mean, I hope that's not where we're going to be. But I just they're ready. There are leaders that are sitting in the wings, not just the former king, but there are other leaders within the free Iran movement who are ready to step forward. And the people like they want democracy. Is Congress fairly aligned on the same page on this issue?

Would you say most of Congress and Senate, even left and right, are they mostly aligned on this issue or no? I would say no. On the left or on the right? Yeah, I just, I think it's going to be mixed bag on both sides. Even on the conservative side? Yes, well, because we're all coming from 20 years ago.

Plus the forever wars we've lied to weapons of mass destruction. Taking Saddam out was the worst thing we could have done. We've all seen that. And we've we're paying billions of dollars to the Taliban now because of George W. Bush in Afghanistan and how all that went down. Nobody wants to see that again. But the Iranian people, it's it's a different country with different people, different values. And they are modern people.

They are, you know, savvy. I think it's a much more modern Gulf state if given the opportunity. Look where they were in the 70s. There was a normal country back in the late 70s. I mean...

And so I think that's where they, that's where, that's their history. That's where they come from. That's what they want their future to be. It was Dubai before there was Dubai, except with a massively rich history of a couple thousand years old. Thomas Massey, how was your relationship with Massey? It's fine. Okay. So Massey, this is, this is the part where you see some folks on the camp. They're like on, you know, Massey side, Massey, a Kentucky Republican announced on X, this is not our war. Even if it were Congress must stop.

Decide such matters according to our Constitution. I'm filing a resolution with a bipartisan group led by Ro Khanna to block unauthorized hostilities against Iran, introducing a House resolution under the War Power Resolution of 1973 to prevent President Donald Trump from engaging in unauthorized hostilities in or against Iran. Co-sponsored include Representative Ro Khanna, California, down by from Virginia, Craig Cesar from Texas, AOC New York.

I mean, Massey is on the side of Rashid Taleb, Ilhan Omar, and a couple AOC on this resolution, uniting Massey with progressive Democrats seeking to halt U.S. military involvement in Iran-Israel conflict with moderate New York Representative Mike Lahr opposing it, stating Monday if AOC and Massey are yes...

That's a good bet that I'll be a no. I'll wait to see the resolution, but I'm skeptical. Massey has a massive following. A lot of people are on his side. What are your thoughts on this? Well, he's right technically on the War Powers part of it. There is the War Powers Act. The president does have to go to Congress and ask permission to go to war. That is a thing.

I disagree with the first half of the premise of the document. And in this case, when we're talking about Middle Eastern policy, military policy and Iran having nukes, I am not going to be on the side of Ileana Pressley, AOC, Rashida Tlaib.

Ilhan Omar, I'm not with them. I mean, because we all know what they want and I want none of that. But he's right on the war powers part of it. The president is supposed to come to Congress and get a vote, make the ask. And I respect that and believe that he should do that. Put your vote on the board. Let the people know where you stand. What do you think it'll end if they put the vote out there? Do you think it'll favor him? I think it's hard to say at this point because there's...

you know, there are, there are Republicans who are against any involvement. There are people like me who don't want boots on the ground, but I'm okay giving them a bomb. Um, you know, and I think there's a nuance here and a balance. I think we could get there, but I think it would be hard. Is, is giving them, uh,

munitions, an act of war? It would be seen as an act of war. So once we get involved, even at the level of, hey, here's a 30,000 pound bomb, we're in war. And for decades now, especially during the forever wars in the Middle East, no president went to Congress to ask to do any of this. So

it would be best if it were, if we followed the law of all the constitution and we do that, um, that would be the best case scenario. But no president has done that. Not in the last 20 years. No, 30 years. No. So they break in the, like they're all,

breaking the law by going that's washington what do you think's going on up there nobody's law abiding citizens and politicians you know everybody has the right statesman motives people's rights are violated every day in this country we need law and order that's why trump is president he's bringing it to the country i think we take a look back that there's been two ways that we've handled things internationally ronald reagan goes a microphone and says we're going to take an action in grenada and they're doing it they're doing under my signature and i got support from congress

And then you've got the United Fruit Company. And the United Fruit Company for decades, you know who I'm talking about. LGBTQ. Oh, you mean fruit. No, no, no. The fruit company. My bad. I'm sorry. Sorry. It's okay. Easy mistake. The United Fruit Company is the CIA. And Oliver North and the Iran-Contra arms thing. And so we've aided...

internationally that way. But this way right now, this is not the United Fruit Company and CIA. This is front and center. And I agree with restraining the war powers part of this saying, but I disagree with preventing us of giving, um,

Israel the right tool to do the job. Because let's, would you like to know who is provided? What is the number? Maybe you know, you've been at briefings. 82% of the arms in Israel is our stuff. The good stuff. Of course.

And it's the really good stuff. It's not the old F-4 Phantoms that you could hear it two days before you can see it. This is like real planes with real advanced technology forward. And so we're providing this. We sell this to Israel and provide it as a part of foreign aid and hardware. So what is the difference of supplying them with access to a B-2 and a bunker buster?

I draw the line right there. I don't want the president without going under the War Powers Act to act properly. But I don't want our guys on the ground over there. Yeah, I think everybody here agrees on that. The only thing that for the first time we all agreed on here is that.

The number one is what? You don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons. No nuke. Nope. Period. At all costs. Preferably without our involvement, them doing it. Are you okay if we supply weapons to them if they need the weapon to get rid of Fordow? If he goes to Congress and gets the approval, yeah. How about he doesn't go to Congress and get the approval? I mean, it's breaking the law.

I want it to be done the right way. Me, personally, I want it done the right way. It's in the annual budget. The foreign aid to Israel is in the annual budget, and a lot of that foreign aid is military stuff. It's already been approved by Congress. We provide them stuff. Every Monday they ship stuff.

So you have to think about that. The problem is they need our pilot to do bunker buster. So that's, that's where the war powers act. Even if it's one pilot, we're involved. We're involved. So like, it's one thing to sell your munitions, sell your missiles, sell the equipment. We do that when we give Israel on the NDA, the national defense authorization act three to $4 billion a year previous to October 7th, we've done more than that. So they do get equipment. They do. Uh, we do all that, but once you put, they have to have our pilot in our plane to do it. And,

And so that's where the War Powers Act comes in. Well. It's complicated. No, no. What just happened right there is if you need the pilot. That's what I'm saying. You're going to bring it. You got to use us. If you need the pilot, here we go. Listen, X is going to go bonkers with this.

You know, the messaging there. There's a lot of people right now that are like, you know, Dave Smith, I think, said the other day. Dave Smith is one of the better debaters out there in the marketplace. He said he voted for Trump and he asked Trump to be impeached. This is what he said a few days ago. I don't know if you saw the scoreboard. No.

I supported him this last year. I apologize for doing so. It was a bad calculation. At the time, it seemed like the right one. But he should be impeached and removed for this one. And not on some ridiculous Nancy Pelosi. Of course, the Congress will never do it because they're all a bunch of corrupt hacks. This is the one thing they support. This is like the – yeah.

Donald Trump should be impeached and removed for this. All of his supporters should turn on him. It's the absolute betrayal of everything that he ran and campaigned on and everything that he stood for. And I will say, despite the fact that, you know, Donald Trump supporters have been labeled like a cult following, and that certainly is true for a percentage of his supporters, he is going to lose his coalition over this. I know...

I don't just speak for myself. There are a lot of us who simply will not go along with this. So it's just a devastating mistake. By the way, on top of that, he's also going to lose the deportation fight because of this. Because right now he needed all the political capital he could have to turn that, you know, you got a majority support for deportations, but the minority is very mobilized and they're out and they're protesting all around the country. He needed all of his political capital for that move. So here's what we got. The neocons win. More war

abroad and, you know, bomb the world and invite the world. No matter who you vote for, you always get John McCain. What do you think about what he said? He's wrong.

I don't think impeached for what? There's nothing that Trump has done that's impeachable. And he's not made a decision on what he's going to do yet. So I think that that statement was premature because Trump hasn't decided. And we don't know, is it going to be a very surgical thing or are we going to give provide, you know, the missiles and bombs that are needed or not? And so very premature. I think what Trump is doing with the deportations helps him, not hurts him. I think the riots that are happening around the country that he referenced are

Don't hurt him. It helps Republicans. It helps MAGA. It helps Donald Trump. It helps us in our midterm elections in 26 and the presidential election in 28. If you are willing to burn your city down because the president wants to follow the law, you're going to lose elections for a very long time. So I think he is.

I think misread the situation. And Trump has even said for 15 years, Iran can't have nukes. Now, he doesn't want to be there. I don't want to be there. But if they need a bomb, I'm OK with giving them a bomb. I don't want our men and women on the ground. There's a very big difference, I think, in you all. You all serve, not me. But I think there's a very big difference in that. So, by the way, remember, it's very interesting what she said. If you think about technicalities.

Nancy and us, we don't want man on the ground. If it's a pilot, it's not really a man on the ground. There's no boots on the ground. There's boots in the sky. I don't want any man on the ground, but I would have minus a couple boots. We almost may have to. Boots in a plane. I want to see that 30,000-pound bunker buster. I mean, I want to see it work. I want to see it work. It's going to be bonkers is what is going to happen. We'll trick the Democrats with their own techniques, and so we'll have...

Colonel Smithers says, at this moment, I identify as an Israeli. And I'm not a neocon. I have co-sponsored many a war powers resolution. I believe in following the letter of the law, and I did not believe in the forever wars. This is just different. Okay. All right. Well, let's read this about immigration. Watch this number here. Some people are going to be disappointed with this. U.S. may lose more migrants than it gains for the first time in 50 years. This is from Daily Mail. Economist Wendy Edelberg told the WAPO,

For a year as a whole, 2025, we think it's likely immigration will be negative, predicting the U.S. will lose more migrants than it gains for the first time in 50 years due to Trump's policies, including revoking legal status, threatening international student deportations, and cracking down on illegal southern border crossings. ICE director.

Todd M. Lyons stated, we're just 100 days into this administration, and thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is using every tool at its disposal to enforce our country's immigration laws with 66,463 undocumented immigrants.

migrants arrested and 65,682 removed in Trump's first 100 days. Trump's border crackdown reduced customs and border protection encounters to 12,035 in April, down from 179,737 from prior year. What was that sound? I said, shush. Oh, I thought you sneezed. I'm okay. I'm still with you. While deportation surge with over 50,000 migrants in ICE detention centers by June 5th. This is NBC News.

June 17th. And by the way, I don't know if you saw the New York Post story from three days ago. A million people have self-deported. Oh, yes. I saw that. That's great. Does this concern you that we're going to have a net migration number this year? No. I think it's great. But the thing is, the media, the mainstream media want to blame Trump. These are not Trump policies. This is the letter of the law. This is our country's own law.

And if you don't follow the law in your country, you don't have a country at all. It's just like the state of South Carolina. We don't follow the laws in South Carolina. We don't have a state. So he's just following the letter of the law. But also it also while we're deporting, we also recognize there are jobs that need to be filled.

that Americans need the opportunity to fill them. If we can't fill them, then we need people to come here with work visas, come here legally, work, go back home. We have a lot of that actually in my district because we're heavy tourism. For nine months out of the year, we're bringing in Jamaicans from other countries and they're doing food and bed industry for nine months. They go home for three months, they come back. It works really well. But no, he's doing the country a service and a favor. I love what he's doing. I love the self-deportation. I love the gold card.

Bring your money here. Get citizenship. Five million bucks. Bring it here with your five million bucks. Yep. I got to love it. Tom, you made a look, Tom. What was that look about? You made a look like you disagree with what she said. I saw it in the side eye. Did you hear the noise? I felt it. I saw it in the side eye. I was like. I'm not going to lie. Nancy, respectfully, I'm a married man. He's been trying to avoid looking at you the entire podcast because he doesn't want, he wants to stay as focused as possible. Go ahead, Tom. He's looking.

No, I think this is good. This is good. It's neutral, right? The ones removed and the ones that came in lawfully, it's neutral, whether it's a temporary work visa or not. Tom, you made a look. Tell us what that look was. Yeah, it was. She felt it. I felt it as well. Oh, she, she, I, yeah. Just straight up tell us, Tom. We heard it, we felt it. What was the look about?

I don't know. She was talking about the Jamaicans and the seasonal labor, which I'm in favor of. You're making me crazy, Tom. What was the look about? She said it was hospitality. So what's Jamaican? Margaritas, probably. Got it. Got it. What do you think about it? Because when you think about, there's a couple ways to look at this. If I'm the enemy, if I am on the opposite side, like I would literally use this if I'm on the Democratic side. If I'm on the liberal side, I'm saying think about

You have a restaurant that for nearly 249 years, everybody wanted to come to this restaurant, but we don't have room in this restaurant, right? And then all of a sudden, a new leader comes in, and now people are no longer coming to the restaurant. They're leaving to the restaurant across the street. Let's just say if they're going to spin that, right? Because that's a way of spinning it on the opposite side.

Is this something that the opposite side can spin and say, look what we've done to the country, that immigrants no longer want to come to America because they don't think the American dream is real? Do you process it that way, Tom? No, I don't, because I would invite them to come and look at the asylum applications. My understanding is asylum applications from our country.

or level year over year, meaning the people that are there, I'd like to immigrate from this country where I'm seriously persecuted, and here's my evidence to it, and my understanding that there is still that, right? We're not closing the wall at the border. We're allowing people to come through the door and be checked,

and to do it lawfully. That's simple. Give us your tired, your poor lives on, but let's do it legally. And if you need asylum, if you're being persecuted, we've got procedures for that.

Come over. And so I look at this and what it says to me is that the uncontrolled immigration issue of the Biden administration is coming under control to be the lawful immigration, according to the preexisting laws that are being enforced by a new sheriff in town. And his name is Donald Trump and he's not making new laws. He's enforcing the ones he was elected to enforce.

okay, Tom was woken up. That's all I wanted. That's what we were waiting for. Tom. That was like, that was like a scene. That was a scene from old school where Will Ferrell is debating. And then they asked him, and he's like, and I just came out of it, but it was great. So Tom, a couple of things before we wrap up, Nancy, I want to get your thoughts on this as well. Uh,

I'm sure you're a big fan of this guy, Jim Acosta, former CNN star slammed for a vile joke about Trump's dead ex-wife. What a title in the first place. I mean, look how low you've gotten where you're going here. Jim Acosta on the Contrarian podcast, No Kings Day Prayer, on Monday remarked on President Donald Trump's immigration policy saying, where are the ICE rates at Trump's properties? Could somebody call ICE on Trump's golf course in Virginia? You're telling me there's nobody in there that's undocumented or some of the

Kind of squirreliness going on on their paperwork. Then reference Trump's late ex-wife, Ivana, stating he's got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey. What a talks like this. Isn't she buried at the first time? I don't even want to say this. Play this. I don't want to read this. Watch this clip. Look at these people. I got a question, though. Where are the ice raids at the Trump properties? Yes. Can somebody call ice on the Trump golf course in Virginia? Yes. Tell me there's nobody in there.

that is undocumented or has some kind of swirliness going on with their paperwork? Give me a break. Hey, how many immigrants is he married?

He's got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey. Isn't she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that? The first hole, yeah. It's the first hole. Immigrants always doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do. Isn't that what he is? How do you respond to that? I mean, that's embarrassing and it's disgusting. I mean, they just, they hate him so much they just can't help themselves, which is why they're going to continue to lose. I'm kind of like, okay, say that.

Put it on a microphone. Air it everywhere. Every YouTube channel. I'm with you. OnX, play that way because all it's going to do is to bring more independents and more former Democrats into the Republican Party tent. Yep. And we need them. And we need them.

And you nailed it. First of all, just that shot right there, Rob, just that thumbnail. Look at it. Angry black woman. I don't even know what she is. I don't know, male, whatever that is. Crazy lip. And then Jim Acosta. And you're right, Nancy. You got to give. I actually love the guy. It's because of him that Donald Trump at that press conference said, I'm not going to give any questions. You're fake news. It was born because of that hashtag.

Hack now that's in a sub stack. I think Gavin Newsom's in there. Once you hear I'm doing a sub stack, it's over. Nobody wants to see your face anymore. And what they have done, and I've seen this with young people. I have two teenage kids. They have made this young generation more conservative than you and I could ever imagine. I mean, like, they're following Ben Shapiro. They're crazy about Charlie Kirk. They love MAGA. I mean, it is incredible because...

they see the way they've been treated growing up and they're like, nope, no more, not doing this. And they see the hero that Trump is and that kind of

Those kind of comments have made this next generation more conservative than any of us here at this table today. And I am grateful for it. Thank God. Gotta love it. Well, listen, thanks to Jim Acosta. We have a fake news. Last thing I want to wrap up with, with this story, because I'm also curious to know what you guys think about this in, in DC. So for the longest time, when you're campaigning, it's about going on Fox, going on CNN, going on MSNBC, going on all these different places, right?

So streaming surpasses combined broadcast and cable viewing for the first time ever. New York Times said it's official. Streaming is now the king of TV. Damn, that's pretty wild. And by the way, I got an announcement that I'll make. Maybe Tom will say it.

Before I say it. But here we go. So streaming... Okay. Nielsen's Tuesday report revealed that in May, streaming services accounted for a higher share of television viewing than cable and broadcast networks combined. And John Koblen...

noting it is the first time that has happened over a full month in 2021. Streaming held 26% of TV time compared to nearly two-thirds of cable and broadcast, a gap that has now closed. And streaming surpassed traditional TV viewership in just four years. Viewers over 65 who represent one-third of total TV viewing drove the shift, with Nielsen stating their YouTube watch time last month grew significantly.

106% from May of 2023. Equaling the viewing hours of children under 11 years old. Since 2023, this age group has been the fastest growing for YouTube and TV sets, particularly favoring

How do you guys view as you're campaigning, as you're going, you're doing your thing, is it still the

the talks about going on Fox, going on mainstream, or is everybody bought into the fact that the way to do it is podcasts, different YouTube channels to go on? I do a lot less mainstream media now. I get an ABC News or CBS News request. I'm like, man, I'm good. I do Fox News, though, still. I think they've got a great reach. They're online reach as well.

But last year when I, I run my own races. When I had my campaign, we only did cord cutters for the TV. We did just streaming only and some digital stuff. We didn't do any, I didn't do cable or broadcast really, really any of that. Hardly. Um, I put more of my effort into streaming. And in fact,

like Spotify to YouTube to reach every possible audience I could because of all the cord cutters. I'm in a pretty, I think, wealthy, modern district. We have a lot of cord cutters, and that's where I focused most of my investment when I got my reelection. I won by a larger margin last year than I ever have.

How big was the margin? 26%, 27% in my primary, Republican primary. I had somebody spend over $7 million against me in that race. It was tough. And then my general election, I won by 18 points. Now, mind you, four years ago, I won by one. I flipped a Democrat seat. So I won by one the first time four years ago. By my re-election this past year, I won by almost 20. And the primary, you spent $7 million against you. Over $7 million was spent against me. Damn. Over one vote.

Wow. Tom. Well, first of all, congratulations for that. We know Beth Van Dyne. She had a similar experience where she won by a razor as Pelosi was pouring money into a Dallas 24. And then and then when the vote was counted, the next one, she destroyed them once they saw what she was going to do. What's interesting here, we'll give you a little focus group on this. We had dinner just the other night with a prominent woman named names, but prominent, very prominent woman.

media individual from the agency side in LA. And he talked about his older parents have two TVs. One, his mom was watching YouTube and watching podcasts. And the other one, they had basically general news on all day, but there was people over 65 sitting there watching it. And that's similar for my mom. My mom watches on the small. And so now the words talk number scream, and you've got now, uh,

streaming is the battle's over because you're looking at stats that are looking, you know, 60, 90 days in the past. And what's happening going forward is the cable subs are going down. You see it every quarterly report that the Comcast makes.

And your DirecTV, a shell of its previous self. And so now you've got the new audiences are choosing podcasts. And more importantly is they see the podcast as sources of more authenticity and they're increasingly scalding.

of what's going on. And we know CNN's for sale. It's just been packaged up in a little package and they're going to spin it on the stock market as a separate company. And that's where they're going with that. And by the way, when they were trying to sell CNN, they actually said, don't worry about the contracts. We'll mitigate the contracts and

And we've got Caitlyn basically on the rookie deal, only at about $3 million a year. So they're even selling against themselves. And the era of high dollar Anderson Coopers are over. You know, those contracts are going to be out. They're going to be cut. And then you're like, Jim Acosta has to go find an audience on a freaking podcast.

podcast. He can't say that on mainstream media because they won't have him on. So even he is knurfing for moisture, looking out on a podcast trying to find some place to let him speak. So I think this is a wonderful thing, but more than just the shift to cord cutters, it is a shift of America looking for authenticity and looking for opinion that they can trust. Did somebody give you like two additional cups of coffee last

Seven minutes, 11 minutes. Some happened. I'm out of coffee. That was spot on. Where did it go? He was spot on. Did you hear about what Netflix announced? No, what Netflix announced. So Netflix has got 350 million viewers, right? Massive. Now they're talking about, they're thinking about getting into the podcast game.

Really? So imagine now you're watching Netflix and you're like, let me watch Rogan. Let me watch Flagrant. Let me watch, you know, Theo. Let me watch now. Right there. Netflix is eyeing video podcasts as it expands beyond TV and film. As YouTube dominates the podcast space, Netflix sees an opportunity to woo creators and blur the lines between talk shows and podcasts. Coming to a...

TV near you folks. Huge built-in audience for any podcaster that can get on Netflix. For sure. Yeah, it's going to be interesting. Well, this has been a blast having you on. And we're going to have you back on next year to see whether you're going to apologize or if that was right. So we've got to follow up. I'll bring flowers or not. Hopefully you're buying me flowers. Yeah, exactly. It's going to be one of us. But it was a blast having you on. Folks, the last thing before we wrap up. We had a weird podcast we did the other day with Scott Storch.

I think, Rob, Scott Storch is when? Tomorrow? Tomorrow at 9 a.m. Tomorrow at 9 a.m. with Scott Storch. So if you know Scott Storch, the hip-hop, it's a completely different world. We've had the weirdest guests. We had Dwight Howard, Metta World Peace, Nancy, Scott Storch. It's like, you know, we just like to talk to people. That's what we like to do. But anyways, gang, it was great having you on. We will not do any home team between now and next Tuesday. Have a great weekend. Take care, everybody. Bye-bye, bye-bye.
