00:00:43.140 Iran missile launches are down 86%.

00:00:47.200 Oh, so there's data.

00:00:48.680 Yeah, there's something called data, right?

00:00:51.020 It's down 80%.

00:00:51.880 Who is this?

00:00:52.720 Is this?

00:00:53.200 This is Admiral, I believe his name is...

00:00:55.480 Cooper?

00:00:56.280 Yeah, Admiral Cooper.

00:00:57.360 Four star.

00:00:57.900 Brad Cooper.

00:00:58.720 Brad Cooper.

00:00:59.400 Bradley Cooper, respect to you.

00:01:00.820 Great role.

00:01:01.560 This is where he gives an update on the amount of Iranian missiles that are being shot right now.

00:01:05.820 Okay, go for it.

00:01:06.540 Then, if I just look back over the last 24 hours of the operation compared to where we were at its start, ballistic missile attacks have decreased by 90% since day one.

00:01:17.640 Drone attacks have decreased by 83% since day one.

00:01:21.640 Having said this, we remain vigilant.

00:01:23.920 Our strikes against the Iranian attacks were intensified. 0.50

00:01:26.300 Drone attacks were done what?

00:01:27.360 We made it for the president say just a little while ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships.

00:01:33.640 That was true at the moment.

00:01:34.900 We're now up over 30 ships.

00:01:36.540 Ships. 0.78

00:01:37.180 Ships sunk.

00:01:37.420 And in just the last few hours, we hit an Iranian drone carrier ship, roughly the size of a World War II aircraft carrier. 0.65

00:01:44.900 And as we speak, it's on fire.

00:01:48.420 So you know what that is?

00:01:50.740 By the way, have you seen the pictures of those?

00:01:52.440 It looks like a beehive.

00:01:53.500 It could almost be a comedy skit.

00:01:54.860 Yeah.

00:01:55.720 Yeah, Tom.

00:01:56.580 Go ahead.

00:01:56.900 No, what he's talking about here is these ships that they make to hold the drones, they look like beehives.

00:02:02.180 And so we figured out where they were launching the drones from, and we hit the ship.

00:02:06.800 So all the drones and stuff that were on the ship, and when they hit those, they burn, and then they suddenly go up because the munitions that are on there goes up.

00:02:16.060 So it's basically we hit one of the beehives that's launching the drones, which is why the drones are down 83%.

00:02:21.180 And by the way, this is a periscope footage of U.S. Navy submarine torpedoing, which we haven't used in a while, an Iranian Freigate Dina off the coast of Sri Lanka.

00:02:29.440 This is, Rob, look at that.

00:02:30.860 That's an Iranian ship, and our sub is using a torpedo.

00:02:35.520 We're going old school.

00:02:36.400 Watch the right side.

00:02:37.200 Bye.

00:02:37.360 Oh, my God.

00:02:38.520 Bye.

00:02:39.460 That's how we roll, homie.

00:02:40.900 Wow.

00:02:41.140 And by the way, so on Fox yesterday, they were talking about, Rob, is this the clip about laser?

00:02:47.360 Yep.

00:02:47.740 Okay, go for it.

00:02:48.480 Watch this, folks.

00:02:49.280 No, but you always want to keep that option open, and so far, that's not where this is going.

00:02:56.840 As Trump would say, we've never seen anything like this.

00:03:00.840 This is two times the firepower that we saw over Iraq and shock and awe.

00:03:05.640 These are B-52s dropping 80,000-pound ordinance. 0.88

00:03:09.860 We have artificial intelligence identifying targets.

00:03:13.280 Space Force is seeing where these Iranian missiles launch from and then can take out the launch pad like that. 0.81

00:03:19.080 We're shooting down Iranian drones with laser weapons. 0.98

00:03:23.460 Also, kamikaze drones, we're using them for the first time ever in combat.

00:03:27.680 So this is just an astonishing display of American military superiority.

00:03:31.920 Probably officially marks the beginning of 21st century warfare.

00:03:36.860 We have completely eradicated the two top layers of the Iranian leadership. 0.99

00:03:41.560 The Navy's at the bottom of the sea, and their missiles were going from 80 a day to now 20 a day.

00:03:47.940 The case is clear.

00:03:49.660 Number one sponsor of terror in the world.

00:03:52.240 They were ramping up their ballistic missile capabilities.

00:03:55.160 They were digging deeper tunnels to enrich again.

00:03:58.340 And their Navy threatens the flow of oil.

00:04:01.740 We don't care who rules the country. 0.75

00:04:04.060 They just have to play by our rules.

00:04:06.100 You want to go to this?

00:04:06.940 So let me just read this.

00:04:07.740 Laser weapon deployed in Operation Epic Furious.

00:04:10.400 Space Force stops Iran's missiles in their tracks.

00:04:13.760 This is a New York Post story.

00:04:16.640 Okay.

00:04:16.840 Iran's weapon debris, blown to pieces or mechanically crippled, keeps dropping from the Middle East sky.

00:04:25.480 For that, we can thank heat-seeking satellites, military-grade malware, and radar-jamming software, all made in America. 0.99

00:04:32.960 New technology laser weaponry has been used against Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury.

00:04:38.820 The U.S. Navy destroyer off the coast of Middle East nation is fitted with a new weapon, which appears to be a high-energy laser with integrated optical dazzler and surveillance halo systems.

00:04:52.980 The laser is a state-of-the-art device with a steerable head, able to concentrate on intense, tightly focused beam of energy, and takes out drone, the Space Force.

00:05:03.740 Tom, what can you tell us about this?

00:05:04.920 So I'm wondering who leaked this story, and why are we talking about some of the most advanced stuff?

00:05:11.100 Remember after when we went to get Maduro, and they said, oh, he's getting migraines, and we were falling down?

00:05:19.040 And remember what it was?

00:05:20.280 Remember what it was?

00:05:20.880 No comment, no comment, no comment.

00:05:22.620 And it's like, were we using energy?

00:05:24.360 Were energy weapons or alternative weapons?

00:05:26.660 We have no comment about that.

00:05:27.440 I think Caroline Leavitt tweeted something about that, and it sounded a little bit like, do you remember that?

00:05:32.880 We were like, wait a minute, this sounds too perfect.

00:05:35.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:35.480 Correct.

00:05:36.100 So now we're coming up with a lot of detail about how it works, what it works, and what it does.

00:05:41.280 So the answer is, we have advanced, there are advanced weaponry that the average person, you know, has not become aware of,

00:05:49.160 and now is rolling into the lexicon of news coverage on international war.

00:05:54.320 And these weapons are important because, remember, the analysis of the interceptors, how many interceptor missiles you have,

00:06:02.540 is the assumption that you have to use a Patriot missile and an interceptor to get all of the incoming rockets.

00:06:10.020 And Mark pointed it out on Business Wednesday very well with a chart.

00:06:15.160 Well, that chart is true only if there's not alternative weapons that will also take these things down.

00:06:21.500 And so what you're seeing here, I'm wondering if we aren't kind of talking to Russia and China here,

00:06:28.640 pointing out is like, you know what, if you want to send that crap over here and you want to help Iran through the back door, 0.83

00:06:34.600 you know, we're going to take this stuff down. 0.90

00:06:36.420 So think about this, because I'll tell you, inside the Department of Defense,

00:06:43.280 we would love China to expose new missile systems by giving them to Iran right now so that we can test against it. 0.88

00:06:54.260 It may sound terrible because it puts life at risk,

00:06:56.780 but there's a little part of the Department of Defense that always wants a live test against the enemy's best,

00:07:03.460 or against enemy armaments.

00:07:05.820 And so I think we might be talking to China and other people here and letting the world know what this is

00:07:12.080 and maybe letting the world know, you're going to wait this thing out?

00:07:15.740 I don't have to use Patriot missile intercepts.

00:07:18.960 I've got other things I can use.

00:07:21.000 I'm not going to run out.

00:07:22.160 I may run out of intercept missiles before you run out of missiles.

00:07:25.460 I will not run out of intercept capability.

00:07:27.460 I mean, let me just break this down very simply.

00:07:32.920 It's not even a fair fight, okay?

00:07:35.240 I mean, look at the cover of what's going on in the Wall Street Journal right now.

00:07:37.740 They basically outline what Iran is doing.

00:07:40.780 They're basically saying Tehran is fighting with jets that date back to the Vietnam War.

00:07:47.280 But they look cool.

00:07:47.860 Together with the scrounged parts of Ingenuity, Iran's aging jets are failing in dogfights. 1.00

00:07:54.280 And then it says, talking about the Israeli pilot flying one of the world's most advanced warplanes,

00:08:00.740 made it in the U.S., took Amon down an Iranian jet, easily sending its streak into the ground in a ball of fire.

00:08:09.060 Target is down, completed.

00:08:10.640 Iran is sending a creaking air force. 0.90

00:08:13.620 Many of the planes are museum pieces kept flying with scrounged parts and pluck

00:08:19.980 that stand little chance against modern warplanes.

00:08:22.640 So, what are we talking about here?

00:08:25.500 Hey, Ali, we have to remove that plane from the museum.

00:08:28.240 Does it still work?

00:08:29.280 Bring it in.

00:08:30.160 No, no, we'll get some parts.

00:08:31.240 Break that wall.

00:08:31.920 Let's go.

00:08:32.380 We've got to take that.

00:08:32.780 So, they have this 1970s technology.

00:08:36.360 Misery.

00:08:36.960 With a 7th century ideology, bringing back the Vietnam War, 0.60

00:08:42.420 where the United States and Israel and our allies have the most technologically up-to-date,

00:08:47.800 incredible weaponry we've ever seen, not to mention an updated belief system,

00:08:53.920 not tied to an apocalyptic, theocratic regime that's still citing 7th century beliefs.

00:09:00.560 It's not even close.

00:09:01.860 It'd be like, hey, in today's high school debate,

00:09:05.260 we have the high school debate champion that has a full ride to Yale 0.92

00:09:08.560 versus the high school dropout that just failed their GED.

00:09:12.060 Let's see who wins this fight.

00:09:13.900 It's not even close.

00:09:15.220 The American military is the greatest thing this world has ever seen.

00:09:19.120 I have a question I want to ask you guys.

00:09:23.760 I thought initially the reason that we went in there was because of the people,

00:09:28.080 because of the revolution that the people were doing,

00:09:30.040 the quote-unquote 40,000 people that were killed in the streets and all that stuff.

00:09:33.800 But then it's more sounding like this is more about taking out their weapons

00:09:37.380 and their systems and their missile launching.

00:09:39.500 I really hope, are they, we don't know, we can only guess.

00:09:43.400 The goal was for the people to be liberated from this regime,

00:09:46.860 which I agree with 100%.

00:09:48.980 The world's going to be...

00:09:54.800 ...are getting together and trying to find out,

00:09:57.220 because once the smoke clears from the lasers and the missiles and the bombs,

00:10:01.360 they need to have a running government.

00:10:04.800 They need to have, and I think Trump had said something about somebody coming in,

00:10:08.020 because with all this craziness, with all the war,

00:10:10.560 I hope they're not losing focus.

00:10:12.160 It's the people.

00:10:13.460 This, I thought, was because the people were dying and fighting in the streets.

00:10:17.520 It's kind of seeming more like, yeah, I understand they're taking out the weapons

00:10:20.640 and all their leadership, but I hope people are paying attention

00:10:23.800 and focusing on the leadership, because once it's done,

00:10:26.640 somebody got, somebody has to set up, Adam, there has to be one guy, election,

00:10:31.720 something has to happen, you know what I'm saying?

00:10:32.980 I think it's, we've been talking about it, it's regime collapse.

00:10:36.120 Yeah.

00:10:36.480 It's not regime change anymore.

00:10:38.360 It's regime collapse and eliminating, listen to what Rubio said,

00:10:42.160 to eliminate their rockets and their ability to rebuild them.

00:10:47.280 Well, listen, we, I don't want to, some of you guys are worried,

00:10:50.840 a lot of people are worried because this is actual footage of Iran's fighter

00:10:53.900 just taking off to intercept Israel's after 355s, 0.86

00:10:57.320 and it's, it's, a lot of people are worried about this.

00:10:59.440 If you want to play this clip, go ahead, Rob.

00:11:00.520 Guys, face for impact here.

00:11:01.480 This is, they're coming down the street hard.

00:11:05.040 This is Iranians.

00:11:05.740 Look in the sky right there.

00:11:07.800 It's about to take off.

00:11:08.880 That's the new Jets.

00:11:10.480 Oh, my gosh.

00:11:11.500 Oh, no.

00:11:12.180 Oh.

00:11:14.620 Well, they lost.

00:11:15.800 It's over.

00:11:16.240 Al-Akbar! 0.56

00:11:17.700 It's over.

00:11:18.680 Unbelievable.

00:11:19.440 It's over.

00:11:20.080 Listen, I mean, look, we're being funny when I saw that.

00:11:22.980 Remember, they have no economy.

00:11:25.700 You break it, you buy it.

00:11:26.400 That's kind of what it's like.

00:11:27.040 Yeah, yeah.

00:11:28.220 But it is funny.

00:11:29.260 I have to pay for this now.

00:11:30.460 It is funny.

00:11:31.440 They're horrible at defeating American. 0.98

00:11:34.320 Let me ask a weird question, Tom.

00:11:36.180 Does this give Ukraine an opportunity right now to say,

00:11:42.180 hey, or is Ukraine kind of on a pause with Russia?

00:11:44.720 They're, like, waiting for Trump to see what he's going to be doing.

00:11:47.560 Because you know Russia would buy the Shahids back in 23, 24. 0.98

00:11:51.540 They no longer do.

00:11:52.880 They license them.

00:11:54.140 And now they make their own drone identical to it.

00:11:57.580 They call it the Gheran or something like that.

00:11:59.980 But they still need small little particles, small little pieces that they use from the Iranian drone. 0.98

00:12:05.500 However, so it's $20,000 Shahid drones being sent to Ukraine.

00:12:09.460 They have the two $3,000 interceptors that Ukraine produces. 0.59

00:12:12.720 Is this opportunity for Ukraine or Zelensky kind of sitting there and saying, listen, let's just wait for this to get done because I want to make sure me and Russia get things done as well and we have some peace.

00:12:23.260 How do you think Ukraine is reacting right now to this?

00:12:26.060 First of all, Zelensky is begging for some of the stuff that he sees in use.

00:12:29.760 And he's not going to get it because this president is not going to give it to him.

00:12:32.580 And I think Ukraine's been oddly silent and not, I think, in a devious way. 0.82

00:12:41.460 I just think they and Russia are in this stalemate. 0.72

00:12:45.080 And Trump has been, come on, let's get a ceasefire already.

00:12:49.060 And I think a week ago, didn't Zelensky say a week ago, if this, I'll do a ceasefire.

00:12:53.800 But now you can't believe Zelensky because two drinks later he changes his mind and it's still war.

00:12:59.320 So there has been an opportunity for Ukraine to get a ceasefire and to stop this thing for six months.

00:13:07.820 And it's been increasingly frustrating to D.C. because they've thought they've had it done a couple times, Pat.

00:13:14.760 So is there an opportunity for Ukraine?

00:13:17.360 Maybe.

00:13:18.060 But I think there's an opportunity for Ukraine to get the ceasefire and knock it off, if you ask me.

00:13:25.500 The first person to stand down gets a ceasefire.

00:13:28.440 But Putin and Zelensky don't want to be the first person to stand down.

00:13:32.040 I think if this thing continues the way it is, if all of a sudden it continues, drags out, Putin and China have to get involved.

00:13:43.040 Don't they?

00:13:44.280 If it drags out.

00:13:45.080 In Ukraine?

00:13:45.800 No, no.

00:13:46.120 If what's going on with Iran and the war, if it drags out.

00:13:51.660 Yeah, we don't want that.

00:13:52.360 I know we don't want that, but how long before you think you're going to see something of, you know, report coming out that, you know, China's doing this or Russia's getting involved with this?

00:14:03.080 How long do you think they can tolerate this taking place?

00:14:06.760 What do you mean by get involved?

00:14:07.900 Meaning, like, say, hey, we're joining the war.

00:14:10.420 We're going to help them.

00:14:11.320 We're sending weapons.

00:14:12.160 We're doing this.

00:14:12.700 We're doing that.

00:14:13.520 Well, I mean, they probably already are.

00:14:15.040 I'll give you my hypothesis.

00:14:16.240 Russia has been exposed.

00:14:20.140 They're still fighting the same small piece of the Donbass territory.

00:14:24.800 How many years later now?

00:14:26.300 Four years later?

00:14:27.760 They can't beat Ukraine, obviously, with our weaponry and technology and aid. 0.87

00:14:32.800 And they have no interest.

00:14:34.160 There's no appetite, in my opinion, in Russia to go fight a war on another front in Iran.

00:14:40.280 No.

00:14:41.480 China, China and Iran, they're transactional. 0.59

00:14:45.640 They're not real allies. 0.98

00:14:48.220 China has come out and said that they think Islam is a mental sickness of some capacity. 0.96

00:14:54.220 And they have over a million Uyghurs locked up in camps. 1.00

00:14:57.280 So they're not natural allies.

00:14:58.880 They're business associates.

00:15:01.280 And they're there for the energy.

00:15:02.980 And they're there for the energy alone.

00:15:05.120 So China, they want global domination and global hegemony.

00:15:09.400 If they're going to wage a war, you know where China's going to send their troops?

00:15:12.520 It's one place.

00:15:13.980 It's Taiwan.

00:15:15.140 That's the only thing they're concerned about.

00:15:17.120 The only reason they would get involved is for a lack of energy.

00:15:20.040 That's why the Strait of Hormuz affects China way more than it affects America.

00:15:23.680 We don't even get oil from there.

00:15:25.560 So China is looking at this like, you're messing with our money.

00:15:31.140 You're messing with our energy.

00:15:32.860 We have some moves to make.

00:15:34.340 There's obviously some tariffs conversation there.

00:15:36.780 I personally, I could be dead wrong.

00:15:39.080 I don't see Russia and China sending troops at all.

00:15:43.660 Maybe military aid, but zero troops.

00:15:46.520 No, no, because the moment...

00:15:47.620 Let's look at a piece of history.

00:15:48.900 I'm sorry.

00:15:49.540 No, because the moment...

00:15:50.280 And please say your point.

00:15:52.220 The moment they send troops, that means you want to go to war.

00:15:55.840 And then it's over, Adam.

00:15:57.000 What?

00:15:57.160 If Russia sends troops to Iran to fight America, it's over.

00:16:02.000 Then it's World War III.

00:16:03.100 No, bro.

00:16:03.580 And then China gets involved, and then it's...

00:16:05.580 No.

00:16:05.840 That right there, it's over.

00:16:07.400 They're doing it subtly.

00:16:08.860 So Russia for another war when you're basically at a stalemate. 0.86

00:16:11.640 It's been a while, but we need to look at history here.

00:16:14.060 Let's look at history.

00:16:15.300 The U.S. is going to win the Korean War. 0.61

00:16:18.180 We are with South Korea, Seoul, pushing north. 0.72

00:16:21.440 We're going to win the Korean War when this happened.

00:16:24.440 China dropped 2.5 million troops into Korea.

00:16:27.860 Most people don't know this.

00:16:28.840 The reason the Korean War was a stalemate, because from 1950 to 53,

00:16:33.780 China dropped 2.5 million troops into North Korea to help,

00:16:37.280 and it caused it to be a stalemate across what is now the DMZ

00:16:41.440 and the famous 38th parallel.

00:16:43.980 It's been a while, but China has done it. 0.99

00:16:46.900 This was the first time that we had been in active engagement with China.

00:16:51.020 That war was going to be over, and look what happened.

00:16:54.620 Rob, pull up a world map.

00:16:56.320 Tom, you're absolutely right.

00:16:58.560 I'm just saying it's happened before.

00:17:00.280 We're talking about North Korea, which is literally their next-door neighbor. 0.93

00:17:04.140 So it affects your house if you don't get involved.

00:17:06.860 Go to North Korea and China. 0.98

00:17:08.640 That's where it was going down.

00:17:10.240 Now, pan out.

00:17:11.020 Look where Iran is. 1.00

00:17:12.360 All the way across Asia.

00:17:14.940 They're not sending troops halfway around the world

00:17:17.520 when they could have sent them across the street.

00:17:19.960 So proximity matters in this case.

00:17:22.040 You're absolutely right.

00:17:22.880 We've had issues in the Korean War with China, no doubt.

00:17:27.460 But wouldn't you agree that the land mass wouldn't produce this type of war results?

00:17:31.940 I'm looking at arms.

00:17:33.340 I'm looking at air.

00:17:34.520 I'm looking at do they get involved that way?

00:17:37.560 Gang, you guys heard.

00:17:39.180 I think there's a massive leadership taking place at the Trump Doral.

00:17:43.040 Trump even yesterday said, hey, go to Trump Doral.

00:17:45.760 Go to Trump Doral.

00:17:47.120 And guess what?

00:17:48.000 We're holding our annual sales leadership summit that we do once a year at the Trump Doral,

00:17:54.380 March 25th through the 27th.

00:17:56.700 If you're somebody that runs a business a million dollars or higher and you got five salespeople,

00:18:00.780 this may be the right event for you when you want to watch this video.

00:18:03.180 Go ahead, Rob.

00:18:03.620 There are three different types of sales leaders I've worked with the last 20 years.

00:18:08.060 One of them are those that are a boss, that are telling you what to do.

00:18:10.800 One of them is one that wants to be your friend.

00:18:12.320 He wants to say, hey, Johnny, let me help you get to this next level.

00:18:14.860 And then the other one is the leader, the leader that's sitting down with you,

00:18:17.420 accountable, challenge, pushing you.

00:18:19.160 You can do more expectation, business planning.

00:18:21.480 Each one of them has pros and blind spots.

00:18:25.040 Once here, I host an event called the Sales Leadership Summit.

00:18:27.640 This year, we're doing it at the beautiful Trump Doral, March 25th through the 27th,

00:18:32.140 where we talk about topics like this, 200-plus pages in a manual,

00:18:36.120 where people from around the world, you have to do a minimum of a million dollars a year

00:18:39.420 and five salespeople to qualify to attend this.

00:18:42.100 So if you're someone that's watching and saying, I think I'm like a boss,

00:18:44.640 I think I'm like a friend, I think I'm a leader, I want to find my blind spots,

00:19:00.180 and eventually sold it for $250 million.

00:19:02.480 If you're somebody that's running a business, sales team,

00:19:05.100 and you want to find strategies to accelerate your growth going into 2027,
