yeah and then by the way this leads to president trump who's being asked about regime change and
00:00:04.080
this is what he had to say about the fact that he doesn't want regime change watch this here
00:00:09.280
do you want to see regime change in iran oh if there was there was but no i don't want it i'd
00:00:14.480
like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible regime change takes chaos and ideally
00:00:22.560
we don't want to see so much chaos so we'll see how it does you know the iranians are very good
00:00:27.040
traders very good business people and they got a lot of oil they should they should be fine they
00:00:32.400
they should be able to rebuild and do a good job they're never going to have nuclear but other
00:00:36.720
than that they should do a great job yeah so the challenge then becomes if you don't open up
00:00:42.240
yesterday i put a tweet out at 1 30 in the morning or 1 o'clock in the morning i don't know what time
00:00:46.480

00:01:14.880
talking about regime change and all the stuff that's taking place right and the president said what he said
00:01:19.760
there about the fact that he doesn't want chaos so who doesn't want chaos he doesn't want chaos he
00:01:26.320
doesn't want regime change or the iranian people don't want regime change what did he say i think
00:01:30.080
he doesn't want chaos he doesn't want of course he doesn't of course but what do iranians want
00:01:35.040
they want change they want chaos they want change i put this up last night because a guy said something
00:01:40.720
about me can you go back there rob i want to put they put the tweet right before the one that i put up i
00:01:44.400
just want to call this out because i'm if if they if this the iranian romanticizers go put that up
00:01:49.840
there so i can read that patrick with his political literacy is at the level of wikipedia he has no
00:01:54.320
national political agendas other than increasing his audience and securing sponsors therefore when
00:01:58.880
he passionately slams leadership capacity of prince reza palabi it is undoubtedly driven by
00:02:04.320
business interest now here's what this guy and i don't blame him for you know not knowing what he's
00:02:09.360
talking about my response to him was i don't know who you are i really don't want to open my mouth
00:02:13.360
about who for decades used their last name to collect money from innocent iranians but if
00:02:18.240
the pressure comes i will gladly open my mouth i will bring receipts soon if these lies continue
00:02:23.200
about us doing it for money uh uh whether it's i'm taking one minute i'm taking money from israel
00:02:28.720
the next minute is i'm taking i'm massad the next minute is i'm iranian the next minute is i'm
00:02:33.280
naiak the next minute is i'm pro reza palabi monarchy coming back the next minute we're
00:02:37.920
taking money for sponsorship and what's funny is we don't take money from any sponsorship this is why we sell
00:02:42.720
our stuff we're proud capitalists by the way what is his name magic here's what we'd like to see
00:02:48.160
happen your country right now only has 350 billion dollars in gdp we'd like to find a way to 7x that
00:02:56.320
so iranians can make some money because capitalism can solve a lot of problems in iran so i wrote this
00:03:01.520
and i said iran deserves better leadership there's so much untapped potential in iran here are a few
00:03:06.480
things to consider a resource rich nation with a starved economy how does a country would rank fifth in
00:03:11.600
natural resources population 92 million talented people only produce 400 that's less than walmart
00:03:17.040
amazon and aramco produced per year and by the way in apple is 390 billion so apple almost is bigger than
00:03:22.560
iran's gdp so iran and entire country produces less than a single corporation how is it possible the
00:03:27.920
answer big the current regime is suffocating the nation's potential with the right leadership the
00:03:33.040
economy can explode to two trillion dollars in no time unlocking unprecedented prosperity for its
00:03:37.760
people two geopolitical gold mine iran is one of the most strategically located nations on earth
00:03:43.360
whether you're in china russia europe africa or middle east you have to go through iran now imagine
00:03:47.440
if iran were wide open for business three a sleeping giant for global tourism in the 70s it was one of
00:03:52.960
the global destinations drawn nearly a million tourists per year including celebrities business
00:03:57.680
elites and world leaders it offers stunning mountains rich ancient history world-class museums
00:04:02.800
incredible cuisine music culture and yes some of the most beautiful women in the world iranian women
00:04:08.400
man they're they're beautiful iran has everything except for freedom iran doesn't need a monarchy or
00:04:14.560
a theocracy that's not popular for a lot of people that are fans of reza palabi that they want him to
00:04:20.000
bring back the monarchy you don't need a theocracy you don't need a monarchy my opinion you can trash
00:04:24.960
this and tear it apart this is my opinion the concept that u.s had the no kings protest they should do
00:04:30.080
that in iran uh is more relevant to iran than anywhere else iran needs to scrap its current
00:04:34.640
structure and start fresh like a startup bring together modern modern founding fathers to draft
00:04:39.680
a new constitution based on liberty equality and democracy hold real elections guarantee freedom
00:04:44.880
for everyone partnering with the west is the fastest way to rebuild you can't chant death to
00:04:49.760
parent death to america one day negotiate with the u.s next next day next day that's not diplomacy
00:04:54.080
that's delusion if iran builds bridges not walls uh business will flood in a iran a free iran
00:05:00.000
could be the key to peace in the middle east that's simple only question is who's going to rise up
00:05:04.400
so when i put that up there you see this and you'll see oh my god how dare you do this i came there
00:05:11.360
the romanticizers yeah he's going to be like his father he's not his father he's a sweet man
00:05:18.480
nice man smart man wants to make his mom happy wants to make his dad proud that is no longer here but
00:05:25.280
he's not going to get the job done as a person and sometimes we'll let him just get in and then
00:05:30.400
we'll figure all the rest out no a person that's an influencer is not going to sit there and say oh
00:05:35.360
yeah yeah let's just do that let's get in and then we'll get the job done you know who said that
00:05:39.200
nancy pelosi said well we have to pass it so we see what's in the bill that's what we got to do
00:05:44.640
we'll find out what's in it afterwards so so to me while this is going on a lot of iranians are
00:05:51.120
seeing is someone going to close this out by the way if again iranians if again if again this is
00:05:58.720
the closest you've been in 46 years if again this doesn't succeed who are you blaming go ahead this
00:06:05.120
is the closest you've been in 46 years if this doesn't happen again whose fault is it you're not
00:06:10.320
going to put it on palavi who are you going to put it on because that's your face go ahead put it on
00:06:14.800
somebody who will you put it on the the indiana pacers lost who do you put it on well injuries fair
00:06:20.960
game seven halliburton brought it all the way to the top minnesota was supposed to go to the
00:06:25.040
championship become the michael jordan right this what's his name anthony edwards what happened oh
00:06:29.920
it's not his fault it's not his fault oh he's a seasoned player i got you let's not put the
00:06:33.760
responsibility on anybody this is the close by the way he had a video that he posted yesterday rob if
00:06:37.920
you can go to his uh uh x account and and again sweet man nice man smart man capable man of being
00:06:46.240
someone that can help out with history but this is what he posted yesterday if you can go a little
00:06:50.400
bit of the lord that was a video right there and and and watch this one you open it up let's watch
00:06:54.640
this go ahead this is our berlin war moment but like all moments of great change it comes fraught
00:07:04.640
with danger we stand at a crossroads one road leads to bloodshed and chaos the other to a peaceful
00:07:16.480
and democratic transition the difference in these two roads depends on one factor and one factor
00:07:26.320
alone is whether the current regime in iran is allowed to survive watch this if the west throws the
00:07:35.520
regime a lifeline there will be more bloodshed you can pause and chaos okay so he gives a message like
00:07:43.360
that which is to say he this the closest they've been he needs us's help to get the job done great
00:07:50.560
but would you watch that does that sound like somebody that is intimidating that someone that's
00:07:55.040
going to get the job no it sounds like somebody that has the history that can play a very good
00:07:58.640
role i had a call with somebody yesterday we know what the entire conversation was about for an hour
00:08:03.440
the conversation was about this is one of the guys i love to work with and the deal he struggles with
00:08:09.120
this is why i have so much respect for tom what he struggles with is the following benny he wants
00:08:14.480
to be a number one okay but he really is a number four but he has ambition to be the number one no he's
00:08:21.840
not a number one does he want no he does not because the pressures of number one not everybody wants
00:08:28.800
it sucks because all the attacks come to you and all the pressure comes to you some people simply
00:08:35.680
do better being two three four five six seven eight and by the way they shine more as a two
00:08:41.840
three four than they do as a one paul george said i was never i was never a number one to win a
00:08:49.040
championship my record says it if i was the one i would have won a championship i didn't win it
00:08:53.600
he didn't win as a one he needed to be a two or three this guy is a very good two three four but not
00:08:59.200
as a one to get the job done iranians you're going to keep coming at me and posting stuff and
00:09:03.600
eventually i'm going to really start saying stuff and my challenge to all of you guys is right now
00:09:08.000
here's what i'm here's what i'm tempted to do vinnie tom and i haven't even told you guys this
00:09:12.240
i'm tempted to see about holding a leadership meeting for iranians some of the smartest most
00:09:22.720
influential iranians at our office at the hangar private no cameras nothing everybody has to put their
00:09:29.760
phones in security we come in nobody has anything we just sit there and we talk
00:09:35.120
what some of their ideas are i think to identify who that person is going i'm at that point i have
00:09:40.240
too many things going on that the chance of me doing this is less than five percent but that thought
00:09:44.560
crossed my mind right now we got all these things we're doing family kids businesses all these other
00:09:48.480
things but it's at that point because if you're not going to hold the meeting to rally and unify
00:09:53.600
everybody so we can get on the same page and identify where we're going what the hell are we doing
00:09:58.160
and if you can't hold the meeting it's because you don't carry that kind of weight anymore
00:10:02.800
if you call a meeting and you don't carry the weight of people coming what happened there maybe you lost
00:10:08.400
it maybe you're not the guy maybe you're not the person so it's a very interesting season right now so
00:10:13.440
i get it for us and trump what he's saying but iranians are fed up and they want that 350 billion
00:10:19.200
dollars of gdp to turn into two trillion dollars that opens up opportunities places you left schools
00:10:24.320
your kids go to anyways we'll see what's going to happen with iran if adam go ahead yeah i i encourage
00:10:30.880
pbd to have that meeting and if you're going to do that meeting uh it needs to happen immediately
00:10:36.160
because there's something called carpe diem and that sees the day here's the biggest challenge that
00:10:41.040
the iranian people are going to face right now this story is the number one story in the world
00:10:46.160
you know what's going to happen in a week in two weeks it's going to be yesterday's news and
00:10:52.720
everyone's going to forget about the people of iran you bring up a great point here is this
00:10:57.440
what trump wants does trump want to get out of this mess this conundrum of the middle east you
00:11:02.400
bet he does he wants to set his sights on china and that's what the america first agenda really
00:11:06.320
wants to focus on not middle east quagmires but what do the iranian people want the iranian people
00:11:11.680
want to be free now's the time i'm telling you right now if this doesn't happen in the next few weeks
00:11:17.760
this ain't happening pbd is absolutely right this is the closest the iranian people
00:11:22.160
have been to being free in 46 years and my thoughts are unless they take advantage and
00:11:27.280
seize the day in carpe diem they're never going to have freedom ever again so who benefits from
00:11:32.720
everything that just happened in iran well israel definitely benefits because they've eliminated a
00:11:38.400
nuclear holocaust usa benefits because they've eliminated a potential threat that sows chaos all
00:11:45.120
around the world the world benefits we don't need to have a nuclear iran despite what the moron joy uh
00:11:51.760
reed has to say but you know who definitely doesn't benefit if this thing does not work out in their
00:11:56.240
favor the actual iranian people because you're starting to see stories that the iranian regime
00:12:01.280
is starting to take it out on the people who have been cheering and protesting against the regime
00:12:06.800
so this is a great case for the second amendment by the way because that doesn't exist in iran so i
00:12:12.800
don't even know how they're going to rise up pbd last point you bring up a great point the gdp
00:12:18.000
of iran is set to soar i don't know if we can have time to play a clip but there's an american iranian
00:12:22.480
businessman who talks about the economic dynamism that could potentially take place in iran if they
00:12:28.000
basically take the stranglehold of the noose that is around their neck away from the ayatollah he talks
00:12:34.480
about catching up to the uae qatar and in saudi not in 46 years in basically five to seven years so the
00:12:41.680
iranian people want to be free they're um a a great people uh ingenuity smart they're just being uh
00:12:48.640
held hostage by the ayatollah yeah and unless they take advantage of it interesting with what you're
00:12:53.440
saying here sure here's what's interesting with uh what you're saying here guess who wants those
00:12:59.600
sanctions to remain on iran guess who wants khamenei to keep saying death upon america guess who wants
00:13:07.600
khamenei to keep making fun of trump guess who wants iran and u.s's relationship to continue to be
00:13:14.160
bad guess who wants that qatar saudi venezuela everybody else that doesn't want another competitor
00:13:21.440
in the oil market right that's exactly who also benefits from it so so so the the the what do you
00:13:27.520
call it the connect the dots game like if you go play american gangster where he's like you know
00:13:33.840
russell crowe's sitting there saying oh my god it's frank lucas that's really the person behind
00:13:38.000
blue magic if you connect the dots there are a lot of people behind closed doors that want the
00:13:42.800
sanctions to remain that don't want it to open up because they're going to take some business away
00:13:46.640
from them they don't want that competition these sanctions are perfect to not have any competition
00:13:51.840
so if iran does become free does saudi fully want that do they maybe does qatar really want to lose
00:14:00.000
that business do do they really really want to have iran that's got influence over straight of
00:14:05.680
hormuz a fifth of the oil supply that moves from do they really want that place to be free there's a
00:14:13.040
part of it where it's kind of like you know some people are like man i hate the fact that this is
00:14:17.040
going on to new york and the same people that hate the fact that what's going on in new york right
00:14:20.560
now that's about to become the next dearborn london and next you know uh detroit they're saying
00:14:25.200
was like i hope it happens because i just want them to realize what they voted for i hope it
00:14:31.040
happens so it's like this this thing that's like you know and there's a group of people that are
00:14:35.440
like that's like i hope it happens like i hope they figure it out because i don't want these crazy
00:14:39.760
people from new york to come to florida and flip the state i don't want you to come to florida stay
00:14:44.320
new york i hope it doesn't happen so these saudi qatar states are like yeah we want it to be peaceful
00:14:50.000
we don't want them to have nuclear weapon but can we kind of keep the sanctions on them so we keep
00:14:54.640
getting this business that we're making billions this is the part so to get the job done someone's
00:14:59.120
going to be able to rally this whole thing to make it happen but anyways folks if you're watching this
00:15:03.520
