Valuetainment - ＂Death To America DOESN'T Mean What You Think＂ - Iran President EXPOSED In Tucker Softball Interview

00:00:00.000 The interview with Tucker Carlson and the president of Iran, Rob.

00:00:04.660 Ilan, Tucker announces that he's going to be doing the interview,

00:00:07.780 which a lot of people ask me the question,

00:00:09.600 what do you think about the fact that he's doing the interview?

00:00:11.200 I love it.

00:00:12.100 I love the fact that he's doing the interview.

00:00:13.840 The more I get a chance to hear what the president of any country has to say.

00:00:18.300 But you don't understand.

00:00:19.440 Do you realize he's giving eyeballs to this?

00:00:21.780 I got a lot of shit when I interviewed the founder of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

00:00:26.200 And they're like, I cannot believe you're doing this.

00:00:27.460 No, I learned a lot about what that guy did.

00:00:30.800 So I applaud Tucker for doing the interview.

00:00:33.940 Now, having said that, in the intro, Rob, is this the intro or is this the—

00:00:38.740 I can grab the intro. Hang on.

00:00:40.020 Which clip is that, Rob?

00:00:41.080 That is where they talk about Death to America being chanted.

00:00:43.720 Okay, so here's a question that was asked about Death to America.

00:00:47.000 You as an audience, folks, run a poll.

00:00:50.320 The poll is, once this is done,

00:00:52.240 do you believe the president Iran's explanation of what Death to America really means?

00:00:59.500 It doesn't really mean what you think it means, right?

00:01:03.280 It doesn't.

00:01:04.460 It has a complete different meaning when they say Death to America.

00:01:07.560 It's more poetic.

00:01:08.860 It's more loving.

00:01:10.240 It's endearing.

00:01:11.880 It's coming from a place of gamesmanship.

00:01:15.060 We're just kind of flirting with each other.

00:01:16.680 You know how you talk dirty and you say,

00:01:18.800 Babe, I'm going to do this to you tonight.

00:01:20.900 You're not really going to go destroy her.

00:01:24.680 You're just going to have some fun.

00:01:26.440 So the way Iranians talk dirty to Americans, 1.00

00:01:29.700 like, listen, man, Death upon America, mother—

00:01:33.040 You know, that's the way they do it.

00:01:35.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:01:36.000 It's coming from a very nice, dirty, you know, way of speaking.

00:01:41.320 Rob, do you want to just go to the question and let them light it up?

00:01:43.560 Is this the whole thing?

00:01:44.280 Yep.

00:01:44.440 Go for it.

00:01:46.680 Again, let's talk dirty to Americans. 0.99

00:01:48.560 You say you're not afraid, but Americans are afraid.

00:01:50.460 Go back a little bit.

00:01:51.100 I hear myself in the back of the left.

00:01:53.140 I hear my own audio.

00:01:54.500 Sorry, we have a poll running in the back.

00:01:55.760 Hang on one second.

00:01:56.540 Yeah.

00:01:56.800 Oh, OK.

00:01:57.340 Got it.

00:01:57.620 If you can close the poll, then you're going to go back to it.

00:02:00.460 So I'd watch this one here, folks.

00:02:01.420 It's a term of endearment.

00:02:02.460 Yeah, it's a term of endearment.

00:02:03.680 Watch this, folks.

00:02:05.060 Many Americans are afraid of Iran.

00:02:07.760 You say you're not afraid, but Americans are afraid of Iran,

00:02:10.680 and they believe that Iran would like to strike the United States

00:02:14.060 with a nuclear weapon.

00:02:14.920 They see video of Iranians saying death to America,

00:02:19.520 describing our country as the great Satan.

00:02:23.020 What is your opinion of that?

00:02:26.080 Should we be afraid of Iran?

00:02:27.740 I believe that this is a very wrong impression that anybody might have of Iran or the Iranians.

00:02:41.440 I would like to remind you that Iran has never invaded another country in the last 200 years.

00:02:48.800 When they say death to the United States, it doesn't mean death to—they don't mean death to the people of the United States

00:02:58.380 or even to the officials of the United States.

00:03:03.100 They mean death to crime, death to killing and carnage, death to supporting, killing others, death to insecurity and instability.

00:03:16.380 This is—have you ever heard that an Iranian killing an American? 0.92

00:03:23.640 Have you ever heard that?

00:03:25.060 Or a terrorist that was Iranian and he carried out a terrorist attack against the Americans? 0.78

00:03:31.640 No, it was your president who confessed that the Americans created ISIS in our region.

00:03:40.320 And they were responsible for this wrong image that is portrayed of religion or the Muslims in the world. 0.97

00:03:50.920 And once again, I would like to tell you and remind you that this is not death to the American people or to the officials.

00:03:59.420 Death to crimes and atrocities, to bullying, to the use of force.

00:04:06.560 I'm coming to you first.

00:04:08.520 Well, we've never invaded another country.

00:04:11.280 I bet that little report surprised the hell out of the Iraqis that spent 10 years going back and forth. 0.97

00:04:17.240 And I think there was five—I'm going to get this wrong—but there was this huge number of people.

00:04:21.940 I thought it was five million on each side that died in the 10-year Iran-Iraq war,

00:04:27.080 where Iran never set foot in Iraq, didn't do anything, wasn't invading.

00:04:31.440 They were going back and forth with each other.

00:04:33.540 This—I find it stunning, you know.

00:04:37.920 I find it absolutely stunning.

00:04:39.980 There are only a million people?

00:04:41.060 Half a million on each side, yeah.

00:04:42.640 Half a million on each side.

00:04:43.280 But still, but go for it.

00:04:44.280 That's a lot less than I thought.

00:04:45.160 Boy, 10-year war?

00:04:48.740 Boy, yeah, a little ineptitude there.

00:04:52.120 So I think when I listen to this full list, you know, what goes in my head is like,

00:04:58.440 who are you kidding?

00:04:59.360 The Iran-Iraq war.

00:05:00.500 Who are you kidding?

00:05:01.320 You've sponsored terrorism. 0.91

00:05:02.540 Who are you kidding this?

00:05:03.880 I have no idea what his audience is and who he thinks is really believing it, unless it's just—

00:05:08.980 The question is, does the audience of Americans believe it?

00:05:11.580 What percentage of Americans just watch that and say, wow, he's right?

00:05:17.420 That's not what that means.

00:05:18.500 Like, how many people did that right there, what he just said, work on?

00:05:22.720 How many Americans did that work on?

00:05:24.480 I'll give you an answer there.

00:05:27.080 42 percent—

00:05:28.160 Look at that right there.

00:05:28.800 —are Democrats.

00:05:30.040 Our audience.

00:05:31.320 Do you believe the Iranian president's explanation?

00:05:33.580 80-20.

00:05:34.080 20 percent believe him.

00:05:36.700 Okay, so take 20 percent—

00:05:38.460 And that's our audience.

00:05:39.640 Okay, let's take—

00:05:40.700 Right, which means it's probably 30 to 40 that believe this.

00:05:44.420 Yeah, and a big chunk, I think a big chunk of the Democrats believe it.

00:05:49.100 I think probably 33 percent of Democrats believe that, because they want to believe that.

00:05:53.520 See?

00:05:54.700 We can be globalists and all get along.

00:05:57.160 It's okay.

00:05:57.940 They're not really doing this.

00:05:59.120 This is subversive stuff, because that is what 30 percent of the globalist, hard globalist Democrats want to believe.

00:06:06.460 Wow.

00:06:07.100 Vinny?

00:06:09.000 What?

00:06:09.840 Oh, you think I believe him?

00:06:11.220 I don't believe him at all.

00:06:12.600 But I was—on a deeper thing, I was seeing a lot of stuff on Tucker and how, you know, everybody was pissed off at him, but he started interviewing—like, think about it, he's interviewed Putin.

00:06:22.860 Who else is—Putin, this guy.

00:06:26.540 Orban.

00:06:26.820 And it's almost as if—I heard reports, and it was like people like him, and they named one other person.

00:06:34.120 I'm trying to figure out who it was, that they think that they're getting money from—you know, everybody always says, well, Israel's paying them, and Israel's in their pocket.

00:06:40.760 I've heard, allegedly, that these guys are starting to get money from the other side, from the Middle East.

00:06:45.820 Who?

00:06:46.200 Like, Theo Vaughn was one of them, too.

00:06:47.860 I saw reports where it was like, Theo Vaughn, who, guys, we all know, he's a comedian.

00:06:51.780 He said he's hilarious.

00:06:52.600 There's all the interviews.

00:06:54.080 Once he went to Qatar, he was there when the president was there.

00:06:59.280 He got back, and the moment he got back, all of a sudden, it was, you know, what's happening in Gaza is a genocide.

00:07:08.020 And I'm saying, he's—go ahead.

00:07:09.620 Wait a minute.

00:07:10.580 I want you to elaborate that on a little bit more, because there was an ad network, and there were things out there that it turns out people were getting ad dollars, and it was a big embarrassment to a lot of podcasts.

00:07:20.520 Not this one.

00:07:21.380 Nope.

00:07:21.720 We didn't take it.

00:07:22.600 Nope.

00:07:22.880 Where they—you know what I'm talking about, Pat?

00:07:24.220 Yes, of course.

00:07:24.360 Where they all got surprised by the ad network that came from some bad people.

00:07:28.080 That's different.

00:07:28.580 Are you talking about that?

00:07:30.020 No.

00:07:30.240 And if not, what are you talking about now specifically?

00:07:32.860 I'm talking about—I saw a bunch of stuff on the internet, on X, a bunch of posts where the timing of people's attitudes changing about the Middle East.

00:07:42.020 Like, for instance, when—by the way, Theo Vaughn went to Qatar and went on stage and was making people laugh and everything.

00:07:48.800 And mind you, I personally—I know Theo Vaughn, and I never heard anything about—anything about Middle East diplomacy, anything, war, anything.

00:07:55.400 Once he got back from that trip, and then it was, you know, he started being way more vocal against Israel.

00:08:02.780 So I'm just saying that's the type of stuff that I was hearing.

00:08:05.820 And so when it comes to, like, Tucker as well, I saw other people pointing out to the fact that he's starting to interview—not starting, but he's interviewing all these people and giving them a voice to try to prove their selves and make them look like they're not.

00:08:20.200 Because, by the way, saying death to America, I don't give a damn who you are or how you spin it.

00:08:25.440 Saying death to America is saying death to the country, death to all the people, and that you wish that that place doesn't exist.

00:08:32.820 That's what death to something means, meaning no life, no breath, nothing.

00:08:38.140 It's death.

00:08:38.720 So I don't believe that.

00:08:39.840 Well, Vinny, welcome to reality, because Qatar has been paying everybody.

00:08:44.740 I'm not saying that they're paying Tucker, but here, Rob, I'm going to send you a little thing of—

00:08:49.480 I'm saying, again, Adam, I don't know.

00:08:50.920 I'm just saying I've been hearing a lot of it, and I'm a timing type of guy.

00:08:55.220 When it happens like that, when all of a sudden you switch, it kind of makes me question.

00:09:00.880 Sure.

00:09:01.380 Well, I think people have been yelling from the rooftops, watch out for the Qatari money for quite some time. 1.00

00:09:06.520 Because a lot of people basically say, who's a bigger foe in the Middle East?

00:09:10.240 Is it Iran, who's basically broke and has spent all their money on nuclear weapons or proxies, and we see the ROI that that's having?

00:09:20.560 Or is it Qatar, who's basically printing money with liquid gold and has been funding universities, NGOs, anti-American, anti-Israel?

00:09:30.960 That's where Al Jazeera is based.

00:09:33.180 None of this is new to anybody that's been following Qatar.

00:09:35.640 Now, as far as Tucker goes, here's how this works.

00:09:41.160 Is Tucker being funded by Qatar?

00:09:43.800 Well, no one in their right mind would be like, yo, here's your money, buddy.

00:09:47.920 No.

00:09:48.620 You use an intermediary or a third party to act as the sort of bag man to collect the money.

00:09:56.940 Because in America, there's something called the FARA, F-A-R-A, the foreign agent.

00:10:03.620 Find out what the FARA thing is.

00:10:05.020 It's foreign agent.

00:10:06.520 Registry?

00:10:07.460 Registry and associate, whatever it is.

00:10:09.340 One of Charlie's angels, I thought.

00:10:10.880 There you go.

00:10:11.640 Foreign Agents Registration Act.

00:10:13.100 God, that's close.

00:10:14.060 So if you take money from a foreign entity, you have to register as that.

00:10:18.100 But if you allegedly have a third party in between, there's a way of doing this.

00:10:23.440 This is what Qatar is doing. 0.94

00:10:24.580 I'm not breaking anybody news.

00:10:27.000 Anybody that's been following Qatar knows that they're basically, they've already done it in Europe.

00:10:31.280 If you look at Europe, why is Europe such a dysfunction?

00:10:34.200 Everyone I talk to, whether it's Germany, whether it's the UK or Paris, they say the following.

00:10:38.400 Oh, dude, Europe has fallen.

00:10:41.180 Qatar has bought every official, every diplomat, every single person in Europe.

00:10:46.540 And if you look at what's going on in Europe, that's what they're trying to do with America.

00:10:49.740 And who's easiest people to do in America?

00:10:51.720 The left.

00:10:52.760 The progressives.

00:10:54.200 You ever see that interview with the one guy?

00:10:55.520 I think he was interviewed by, it starts with a D.

00:11:03.380 He's been on our show.

00:11:04.420 The Indian guy, he's very conservative.

00:11:05.780 Dinesh D'Souza.

00:11:06.260 Dinesh D'Souza.

00:11:07.280 He goes, Dinesh, respect to you.

00:11:09.360 He goes, why do hardcore Muslim extremists vote or give their money to the progressive leftists?

00:11:16.260 He goes, oh, it's so easy to understand.

00:11:18.720 They have no values.

00:11:20.080 They have no principles.

00:11:21.500 They'll take the money.

00:11:22.280 They'll say whatever.

00:11:23.240 A man's a woman. 1.00

00:11:23.900 A woman's a man. 1.00

00:11:25.400 You know, go, go, go, go.

00:11:26.420 Have abortions.

00:11:27.260 Energy.

00:11:27.880 You can find that clip.

00:11:28.900 He goes, I don't give money.

00:11:30.840 There's no Muslim conservatives in Congress, by the way.

00:11:33.820 Zero.

00:11:34.900 They're all on the left.

00:11:36.140 Because they have no values.

00:11:37.260 They have no principles.

00:11:37.880 That's basically what he's saying.

00:11:39.060 So to get back to this concept of Tucker, here's what I know for sure.

00:11:43.540 If you want an easy softball interview and you're a thug like Putin, if you're a terrorist

00:11:50.620 state like Iran, if you're funding terrorism around the world, go to Qatar.

00:11:55.000 Go on to Tucker and get your little softball interview. 1.00

00:11:57.540 There'll be zero pushback.

00:11:59.140 He's not going to refute any claims that you say.

00:12:01.620 He's just going to sit there and do this stupid looking face.

00:12:04.240 And then when you say something, and that's Tucker.

00:12:07.160 Tucker, I would 100% go on Tucker if I was a foreign autocrat and I wanted a zero pushback 0.93

00:12:15.340 on that.

00:12:16.080 Now, as far as believing the president of Iran, death to America.

00:12:20.680 No, we don't want death to America.

00:12:22.720 We want to give you a big hug and kill you with love. 0.98

00:12:25.780 Does anybody believe that?

00:12:26.860 Well, apparently 20% of our audience believes that.

00:12:29.340 Where is that poll at right now, Rob?

00:12:30.560 I'm curious.

00:12:32.320 Keep going, Adam.

00:12:33.340 I just want to know.

00:12:33.880 Yeah.

00:12:33.900 I mean, the one last thing I'll say is this.

00:12:36.840 You want to have respect from me, Tucker?

00:12:39.720 Go interview the people in Iran.

00:12:43.080 Go interview the people that have been suffering from the Iranian regime for the last 46 years.

00:12:50.340 Go interview those people and see what they have to say.

00:12:52.720 Because I guarantee you're going to get a completely different response.

00:12:55.060 Those people want to see the Iranian regime go and go immediately.

00:12:59.120 But you're going to sit there with the president of Iran and take him at face value and then

00:13:04.720 just smile.

00:13:05.380 It's pathetic.

00:13:06.160 Here's where I'm going to be at.

00:13:07.160 Okay.

00:13:08.440 To me, Tom, I think Iraq attacked Iran the moment Shah fell and they saw weakness. 0.99

00:13:18.140 And that's where the opportunity came in with Saddam. 0.92

00:13:20.600 I don't think Khomeini had a bone of military background in him to know how to have any kind

00:13:26.640 of attacks being done.

00:13:27.680 So they were exposed because he killed off a couple thousand of Shah's generals and colonels

00:13:33.620 and leaders.

00:13:34.240 So their military was dismantled.

00:13:36.120 And Iraq saw that as an opportunity. 0.75

00:13:38.080 But again, that's a war that happened.

00:13:39.380 It cost a lot of innocent people's lives.

00:13:41.340 But for them to say nothing, the amount of fatwas Khomeini put, didn't Khomeini put a fatwa

00:13:46.620 on Salman Rushdie?

00:13:47.660 Yes.

00:13:47.960 They put so many fatwas.

00:13:49.460 Even, you know, Ruallah Khomeini recently said, death upon America.

00:13:53.700 They talk about John Bolton.

00:13:54.880 They talk about all these other guys.

00:13:56.080 Stop with this nonsense bullshit that you're all innocent and it's not death upon America.

00:14:00.860 When I was in Iran and we would learn how to write, it's so important.

00:14:05.440 Iran, Iranians take writing very seriously and it would teach you how to write like. 0.99

00:14:11.300 It's like art.

00:14:12.700 Honestly, it was like, I would, I would have a hard time with it because it was like art

00:14:16.740 the way you would write and the way you would go.

00:14:18.880 It was so beautiful.

00:14:20.660 Iran gave us, gave us Hafiz. 0.88

00:14:22.540 Iran gave us Rumi.

00:14:23.620 Iran gave us some of the most incredible poets of all time.

00:14:27.700 So what is poetry?

00:14:29.440 Words.

00:14:30.420 What do words have?

00:14:31.420 A lot of power.

00:14:32.760 You mean to tell me that you can say death upon America and you don't really mean what

00:14:36.280 it means?

00:14:36.780 Let me get this straight for you.

00:14:38.420 You say something like that to an average guy who may take it.

00:14:42.360 Do you know when we had the professor that came from Harvard that was doing a study about

00:14:48.000 the police brutality?

00:14:49.620 Was there really a bias on police attacks on blacks?

00:14:54.420 That's right.

00:14:54.940 Police attacks on blacks.

00:14:55.920 And he came up with the report a couple of times and he went on very wise.

00:14:59.400 If you remember, and then we brought him in here.

00:15:00.980 Do you know what was the other research he was doing?

00:15:02.860 Do you know what was the other research he was doing that he was going to be launching?

00:15:05.380 What?

00:15:05.640 The impact of hip hop.

00:15:07.480 You know how they say CIA was involved with hip hop.

00:15:09.640 Now, the impact that hip hop had on kids, you know what he said he gave a glimpse of

00:15:14.580 what his research was coming along with?

00:15:16.160 He said hip hop didn't have a negative influence in the ghetto.

00:15:19.640 Hip hop didn't have a negative influence in streets like, you know, Baltimore or Compton

00:15:25.520 or LA because they're living hip hop.

00:15:28.880 He said hip hop had a negative influence in the suburbs of a bunch of white kids being 0.98

00:15:34.800 raised who started listening to hip hop and the words of hip hop got them to act, commit

00:15:39.900 crimes, became criminals, act like they're gangsters.

00:15:42.760 Why?

00:15:43.100 Because words have power.

00:15:45.400 What is the song by Tupac that said cost his life?

00:15:49.060 What does it start off with?

00:15:51.300 That's why you're a bitch, you fat mother. 1.00

00:15:53.760 Right.

00:15:54.120 And he goes into it.

00:15:55.860 Right.

00:15:56.360 You know, he calls out everybody in that thing.

00:15:58.460 Hit him up.

00:15:59.100 Right.

00:15:59.320 Hit him up.

00:15:59.800 Yeah.

00:16:00.080 And if you talk DMX, you go to Bone Thugs and Hummer, Mo Murda, Mo Murda, come, come

00:16:05.180 again.

00:16:05.560 Right.

00:16:06.060 Easy E, real mother. 0.91

00:16:07.540 You go listen to all the lyrics here.

00:16:10.000 These lyrics.

00:16:10.700 And when you listen to these words, they do something to you.

00:16:13.380 If you're telling me Mad Bad America doesn't have any meaning, then stop saying it.

00:16:17.460 Right.

00:16:18.060 Why don't you stop saying it?

00:16:19.560 Why don't you stop saying those words?

00:16:21.240 Why don't other countries say it?

00:16:22.180 Because a 12-year-old kid is going to hear it and they're going to be like, I'm so loyal

00:16:25.680 to Khamenei.

00:16:26.340 I'm so loyal to you that I'm actually going to act upon these words of death upon America.

00:16:31.460 I'm actually going to be willing to go commit suicide because I may have a place in heaven

00:16:36.000 if I'm able to commit suicide and do it for my country, do it for my religion.

00:16:41.300 What other religion goes out there and tells you to go commit suicide for your religion?

00:16:45.320 Have we taught that, Tom?

00:16:47.740 Christianity? 0.62

00:16:48.700 Are we taught to go commit suicide on behalf of our God?

00:16:51.840 What does our God say if we commit suicide?

00:16:53.260 No, no, no.

00:16:54.700 It says go into all the world and teach people about me, baptize them, and teach them to

00:16:59.380 obey.

00:16:59.940 What does Christianity teach you about suicide?

00:17:02.800 Teach you about suicide?

00:17:04.360 Well, the Catholics seem to believe that it's an unforgivable sin, but the Bible doesn't 1.00

00:17:12.220 indicate that suicide is some fatal sin.

00:17:15.060 Is there anything in there, Tom?

00:17:15.760 Is there anything in the Bible that encourages you to commit suicide?

00:17:19.220 No, no, no.

00:17:19.800 There's nothing, especially nothing to kill yourself and to off other people.

00:17:24.280 Do Catholics believe in that?

00:17:25.660 No.

00:17:25.860 Do Jews believe in that? 1.00

00:17:27.240 No.

00:17:27.540 Do Scientologists believe in that?

00:17:29.060 If you're talking about suicide bombers, no.

00:17:30.600 Who believes in suicide bombers?

00:17:32.360 Only one religion. 0.79

00:17:33.420 Why is that?

00:17:35.160 Why?

00:17:35.800 And by the way, none of the guys in charge think it's a good idea.

00:17:38.600 By the way, none of the clerics will say, I'm going to do it first, I'll show you how.

00:17:41.760 They want everybody else to.

00:17:42.900 Well, the challenge here becomes, you can fool a percentage of people that hear that.

00:17:51.620 Like, my follow-up would have been, Tucker would have had an opportunity to have so many

00:17:56.020 additional follow-ups there to that one specific topic, similar to the way he pushed Ted Cruz.

00:18:01.920 Because to me, that Ted Cruz interview was phenomenal.

00:18:06.100 That Ted Cruz interview was incredible for both sides.

00:18:10.160 It was great for both sides.

00:18:12.820 I thought that was one of the best interviews he's ever done.

00:18:15.980 You know, that interview ended up getting the podcast to go all the way to the top.

00:18:19.940 I think he was number one for like a week or so.

00:18:22.700 It was that good of an interview on Spotify.

00:18:24.900 He crushed it with that interview.

00:18:26.940 That's the pushback that we sometimes need with these guys to ask the follow-up.

00:18:31.660 Really?

00:18:32.180 That's what you say?

00:18:33.160 What about that, that, that, that, that?

00:18:34.460 He knows how to do it.

00:18:35.480 He did it with Ted.

00:18:37.180 He knows how to do it.

00:18:38.680 He knows how to re-engage.

00:18:40.160 He knows how to bring some of that stuff up.

00:18:41.760 So to me, the only argument I would make on behalf of Tucker, why he wasn't able to push

00:18:45.800 it was because maybe the other side said, we will only do the interview if you don't

00:18:51.620 push and you only have 28 minutes.

00:18:53.880 And Tucker had a list of seven questions to ask in those 28 minutes.

00:18:57.020 And he knew he couldn't stay on that one topic.

00:18:59.720 And he even said at the beginning of the interview, there's some questions I'm not going to be asking

00:19:03.200 because we all know we're not going to be getting the answers.

00:19:05.840 Well, that applies to anybody though, doesn't it?

00:19:07.840 I mean, you can ask Ted some questions about AIPAC.

00:19:11.800 Are you really going to get all the answers on this?

00:19:14.260 This whole thing about, you know, Qatar is doing what they're doing with the money.

00:19:19.860 So is Israel with AIPAC.

00:19:22.700 So we can't say that's also not happening.

00:19:24.900 This isn't a part of that.

00:19:26.180 The only difference for me here, I'm not going to sit here.

00:19:29.040 By the way, just so everybody knows, I don't make friends when I take these positions because

00:19:33.360 I don't fully gain my Israel audience and I don't fully gain my, what do you call it?

00:19:38.060 The lady yesterday, because the, what do you call it?

00:19:40.480 The VT News contest winners were over here and I had a chance to come through here and

00:19:45.760 Heather and the crew.

00:19:47.160 Yeah.

00:19:47.540 Heather and the crew.

00:19:48.420 And I had cigars with them last night at the cigar lounge.

00:19:51.280 It was Heather Airby, who's, I'm definitely, she's listening on the way to the airport.

00:19:56.200 Yes, she is.

00:19:56.880 Loris Spatofra.

00:19:59.080 I think he came all the way from Montreal, if I'm not mistaken.

00:20:01.640 And we had Zach Gioff, okay, who were here.

00:20:03.800 Very nice gift.

00:20:04.980 Zach, that gift that you gave me is in my car, just so you know, Vinny, I says, well, the

00:20:08.800 scripture, it's in my car and I read through it.

00:20:12.140 But we're sitting there last night.

00:20:13.620 You know what she says?

00:20:14.680 She says, I follow the comment section so closely and it's so interesting.

00:20:19.140 One minute, you know, the Muslims are so happy that you're calling out Israel and one minute 1.00

00:20:24.500 they, you know, the Jews hate you and the next minute the Jews are so supportive of what 1.00

00:20:29.740 you're saying about Muslims and the next minute Muslims hate you.

00:20:32.860 It's so, it's like nobody really knows.

00:20:34.760 I'm like, look, what do you want us to do?

00:20:36.640 We're not making friends here with the positions I'm making.

00:20:39.400 We kind of telling you where it is.

00:20:40.820 But the reality of it is you want me to sit here and believe that death upon America is

00:20:44.640 not what it means?

00:20:45.280 Get the hell out of here trying to talk to people as if they're dumb, you know, trying

00:20:53.000 to, then change your language.

00:20:55.700 Language is a form of art in your country, Iran. 0.98

00:20:58.640 You know how powerful language is.

00:21:00.300 Change it.

00:21:01.080 You have the right.

00:21:01.680 By the way, what says Khamenei and the president cannot stand up today?

00:21:06.660 Today.

00:21:07.600 What says today?

00:21:09.780 Khamenei and the president of Iran cannot stand up in front of their people and say,

00:21:15.080 moving forward, we can no longer use the words death upon America and death upon Israel.

00:21:20.320 Can you say that?

00:21:22.060 Can you say that?

00:21:23.720 Can you get up and tweet that?

00:21:24.960 Can Khamenei on his Twitter account that is still active till today, can he get up there

00:21:30.420 and say, moving forward, we are a religion of peace?

00:21:33.780 And as a religion of peace leading the rest of the world, we will no longer be using the

00:21:40.680 phrase death upon America and death upon Israel, even though the amount of damage that they've 0.65

00:21:47.040 done to our great country of Iran. 0.99

00:21:49.500 Let's just say you say that, even with that last sentence, I would retweet that if they

00:21:54.840 put that up there, but they won't do it.

00:21:56.360 Zero percent.

00:21:56.940 Because it's part of their profile because it's what they believe in deep down inside

00:22:01.560 that rage, that anger is in them and they keep duplicating that with others.

00:22:08.160 So yes, to the people that are upset that Tucker did the interview, I am so glad he did the

00:22:13.920 interview.

00:22:14.900 Phenomenal job with the interview because you either are being sold into a bunch of BS propaganda

00:22:21.400 that death upon America really means, you know, it's a shot at crime.

00:22:25.660 You really are that naive?

00:22:27.760 If you're really that naive, wait till you see what's in store for you in the future.

00:22:32.160 If you're that naive, wait till you see what's in store for you in the future.

00:22:35.880 Wait.

00:22:37.240 Naive people are going to get, I can't use this word, but it's going to get very bad for

00:22:43.720 naive people in many different ways.

00:22:45.180 You're going to fall for it.

00:22:46.240 You're going to fall for it.

00:22:47.120 And you're going to fall for it.

00:22:48.020 And then eventually you're going to be like, oh my God, I thought it was just, but that person

00:22:51.920 on social media was saying this, but I thought they were all good.

00:22:57.300 No, naive people get destroyed.

00:23:00.660 Wake up, folks.

00:23:02.660 Wake up.

00:23:03.640 Only the paranoid survive.

00:23:06.980 Wake up.

00:23:08.100 That's what's going to be happening.

00:23:09.460 These guys are just trying to sell you a bunch of propaganda.

00:23:13.220 And unfortunately, some people are buying it.

00:23:14.700 I want to ask you this.

00:23:15.740 Speaking of Khomeini, you know, he came out and just made his first appearance since the

00:23:19.520 whole war, makes first public appearance since Iran-Israel started.

00:23:23.780 He came out and of course, he comes out and he says, Tehran had delivered a slap to America's

00:23:30.180 face by striking the U.S. base in Qatar, warning against further U.S. or Israel attacks and

00:23:36.860 aggression.

00:23:37.780 Hysterical.

00:23:38.340 Like after we just destroyed their nuclear program, took out all their sites, zero missile

00:23:42.340 defense at this point, but they're the ones that, you know, took out our base in Qatar.

00:23:46.980 And then you see what Trump response was.

00:23:48.580 He goes, look, man, you're a man of great faith, a man who's highly respected in his

00:23:55.120 country, but you have to tell the truth, buddy.

00:23:58.980 You got beat to hell.

00:24:00.900 This is what Trump said to Khomeini.

00:24:03.920 So here's my question to you.

00:24:05.340 They just lie and lie and lie.

00:24:07.460 If you're Tucker or if you're Tucker's producer and you push back against Ted Cruz, we saw what

00:24:15.140 you can do, but then you give zero, zero pushback against the president of Iran, who's lying

00:24:22.200 to your face.

00:24:23.500 Why does Tucker not push back in your eyes?

00:24:26.000 And if they say, listen, you have a half hour, please don't push back.

00:24:29.500 I think that's the reason.

00:24:30.440 I honestly think that's the reason.

00:24:31.300 All right.

00:24:31.320 So then, then you're bought.

00:24:32.440 You're paid for.

00:24:33.700 So which one is it?

00:24:34.660 I'm not going there.

00:24:35.120 I'm not going there, bro.

00:24:36.120 I just think you had 28 minutes.

00:24:37.720 Sometime when you got a 28 minute interview, your job as a, cause remember at, in the court,

00:24:41.940 he's a journalist.

00:24:43.280 So it's like, what, here's the questions, go audience react and make up your mind, right?

00:24:48.480 The podcast, this was not a podcast.

00:24:50.600 What he did here was a, it was a Fox News interview.

00:24:54.740 That's what that was.

00:24:55.480 With the translator.

00:24:56.100 But the Ted Cruz podcast, by the way, the Putin was a podcast.

00:24:59.440 The Putin is not a, the Fox thing.

00:25:02.620 Cause you had two hours with the guy.

00:25:03.760 Putin gave you two hours.

00:25:04.900 He could have pushed with Putin.

00:25:06.220 I don't criticize him on this one.

00:25:07.780 On this one, I just think, uh, uh, the only a little bit was death upon America.

00:25:12.880 We've always been a religion of peace and all this other stuff.

00:25:16.120 Um, yeah, yeah, 20, it's very hard to look at it a little bit differently.

00:25:20.380 If he went to Russia to interview Putin, we saw how he just like made how the train stations

00:25:25.600 are so amazing.

00:25:26.820 I would argue when you're in the presence, uh, in the Kremlin, maybe you don't want to do

00:25:31.820 a little pushback.

00:25:32.520 All right.

00:25:32.840 You know, fear for your life.

00:25:33.940 We just talked about some guy who just suicided himself.

00:25:36.060 Yeah.

00:25:36.440 Yeah.

00:25:36.700 You're doing a fricking zoom interview with the president of Iran and who lies to your

00:25:42.260 face about death to America.

00:25:43.760 And you're like, all right, next question.

00:25:44.980 You don't want to push back 30 seconds, Tucker.

00:25:47.360 You don't want to take 30 seconds for 28 minutes to maybe give a little pushback to me that you

00:25:52.600 talk about how Dan Bongino or Kash Patel or Pam Bondi are losing, uh, credibility.

00:25:58.400 This is why you lose credibility.

00:26:00.220 You're not going to push back for 30 seconds, bro.

00:26:03.000 I see your, I see your point there.

00:26:04.520 It's weak, but I do see it a little differently.

00:26:06.260 If I got 28 minutes, I want to get as many answers out of them as I can.

00:26:10.320 And if he gives me that death to America, I think in my head, I'm going to put a narration

00:26:14.400 on the front of that.

00:26:15.440 And I'm going to call this guy out on the short clip and I'm going to publish the clip.

00:26:20.040 I'm going to say, and then I asked him this about, and then he did this.

00:26:24.440 I can clip that later because I got my answer and I can go with it.

00:26:27.640 And it would be so obvious to the jury of public opinion that sits out there.

00:26:32.460 But in 28 minutes, I want to get as many answers out of them as possible, which gives me as

00:26:38.440 many places to go as possible.

00:26:39.920 So you're saying that you'd, you'd basically justify not pushing back after the fact, but

00:26:45.120 not during the interview.

00:26:46.420 No, during the interview, it's like, and that was a long question.

00:26:50.360 Which part of that are you going to push back on?

00:26:52.380 You're going to go, wait a minute.

00:26:53.480 Wait a minute.

00:26:54.000 Do you just the whole thing?

00:26:55.040 Did you just say all that?

00:26:56.080 Exactly.

00:26:56.320 That's a long question from the guy.

00:26:58.220 I mean, all he had to do was with this goofy chuckle and just like laugh at the guy's face.

00:27:01.840 My thing is, and I think, Pat, me and you talked about it a couple of days ago when it actually

00:27:06.740 happened, saying, I'm not even going to ask him this because we know what the answer is

00:27:11.560 going to be.

00:27:12.300 I don't like that.

00:27:13.460 Ask it so I could see the guy's body language.

00:27:15.840 I want to see his face.

00:27:16.880 I want to see, even if he goes, whatever, BS, BS, BS, I want to look because we're not

00:27:21.820 done, but we can tell a body language question.

00:27:24.400 Don't be, don't be soft in that sense.

00:27:26.700 And that's where people start asking questions about, you know, and don't get me wrong.

00:27:30.300 I love, I absolutely love Tucker.

00:27:31.780 I think he's one of the most important voices to do, especially this type of stuff.

00:27:35.220 But I do agree.

00:27:36.280 You get a pushback, especially Death to America, and you're one of the most American, pro-American

00:27:40.700 patriots out there.

00:27:41.640 I would have been like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:27:43.020 Seriously, bro?

00:27:44.280 Seriously?

00:27:45.080 Just something.

00:27:45.940 One pushback.

00:27:46.540 One pushback.

00:27:47.440 I get it.

00:27:48.160 And you nailed it.

00:27:48.800 Four seconds.

00:27:49.480 He's doing Zoom with the interpreter.

00:27:51.960 It's less than 28 minutes.

00:27:53.480 Listen, guys, I hope he does more of these.

00:27:55.760 So I know this is not a popular for some of you guys.

00:27:58.440 I hope he does more of these.

00:28:00.300 And there's nobody that gets more criticism when you interview crazy people like this.

00:28:07.360 But we need more of them.

00:28:08.240 We need them talking.

00:28:09.720 So in whatever context that you get a person talking, get them talking.

00:28:13.400 Okay?

00:28:13.660 Let them talk.

00:28:15.000 And with that, this to me is a success because I get to see, because at the end of the day

00:28:19.920 with Iran, with everything that they're going through, this was the closest Iran got to

00:28:22.880 a regime change.

00:28:23.960 Closest.

00:28:24.400 Gone.

00:28:24.740 Iran got to a regime change in 46 years.

00:28:27.100 And that's gone.

00:28:28.000 Boom.

00:28:28.380 Period.

00:28:28.640 It's gone to the next one.

00:28:29.940 And who knows when the next one's going to be coming around.

00:28:32.660 Again, that doesn't mean that there's not a surprise and an ace up Trump's sleeve that

00:28:36.960 something could happen in the next few weeks or a few months.

00:28:39.460 Because Trump's, one thing Trump's made very clear.

00:28:42.380 I freaking love it.

00:28:43.960 I know most people don't like this.

00:28:45.560 He's made himself very unpredictable.

00:28:47.260 It is such a great quality when it comes down to a president that's going against his enemies

00:28:53.580 and you need to stay a little bit unpredictable and he's doing that.

00:28:56.940 The lemon box that we launched, okay?

00:28:59.260 This campaign that we launched with the messages, Rob, if you can go to it.

00:29:02.940 I absolutely love the stories that we're getting.

00:29:05.600 The testimonies that we're getting, Rob.

00:29:07.460 Okay?

00:29:07.720 The Zested Forward.

00:29:08.900 That you open it up with a video being played with the hat and the merch being in it.

00:29:12.400 And it's a heartfelt message to people that are going through tough times today.

00:29:16.160 If you haven't yet sent this to anybody, listen, I challenge you.

00:29:20.360 I encourage you.

00:29:21.600 Send it to someone.

00:29:22.760 See their reaction.

00:29:23.840 Here's some of the notes we got recently from three people that have been using the lemon box.

00:29:28.820 Here's somebody named Patrick.

00:29:30.560 Phenomenal name.

00:29:31.620 Hi, guys.

00:29:32.200 I gave it to my wife as part of her Mother's Day gift.

00:29:34.200 She's a national sales manager for a yacht company and found it to be very encouraging.

00:29:38.060 She teared up when she received it.

00:29:39.460 And I'm sure she will open the box again and listen to it over and over and over again.

00:29:43.620 Thank you.

00:29:44.800 Rob, if you can go to the next one.

00:29:46.700 Here's something from Karen.

00:29:48.000 The recipient loved the lemon box with the hat and video.

00:29:51.560 It was just what she needed to pull her out of a bad time.

00:29:55.680 Thanks for such creative ways we can express love and encouragement to people who need just a bit of recognition.

00:30:01.360 And then the next one here, we have a Magnea.

00:30:03.820 Bought these boxes for my son.

00:30:06.400 Bought this box for my son who was going through some hard times.

00:30:09.100 When he got it, called me crying because he said it was exactly what he needed and thought this gift was the most thoughtful thing he had received.

00:30:17.240 If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

00:30:19.460 It's a simple message and a great message for so many.

00:30:22.440 PBD's message in the box was awesome.

00:30:24.360 Loved it.

00:30:24.720 So if you got somebody that's going through things, folks, job, career, family, marriage, personal life, go to vtmerge.com, zest it forward, send it to somebody.

00:30:32.760 Sometimes we love getting stuff for ourselves, but sometimes we just want to make somebody else's day.

00:30:36.940 You can't wait for them to message you and tell you how grateful they are for that.

00:30:41.380 And on top of that, ladies, you've been asking about it.

00:30:44.720 And my wife, some other ladies, Kim, others have been saying, Pat, we need some sports gear for the ladies. 1.00

00:30:51.160 So here's what we have now as well that's officially launched on vtmerge.com.

00:30:55.360 Go for it, Rob.

00:30:56.040 So make sure the golf cart doesn't come with the purges.

00:31:16.920 Okay, Taylor, Alicia, Natalia, Leigh.

00:31:32.580 We got some fit ladies that work for people. 1.00

00:31:34.840 We got a gym.

00:31:36.440 I'm so, you know, I'm a little offended that you guys didn't ask me to be in it.

00:31:39.300 I could have worn a wig.

00:31:40.200 No, we're not doing that.

00:31:41.300 We want real ladies is what we want. 1.00

00:31:43.640 Not the one you dress up to be sometimes, Vinny.

00:31:46.420 So go to vtmerge.com, place your order.

00:31:50.180 When you do, you will receive a VT, I love VT, keychain, gang.

00:31:55.840 We know most of our listeners are men, and we know most men.

00:31:58.880 What we tend to do is we tend to procrastinate.

00:32:02.080 The ladies will buy gifts for you. 0.58

00:32:03.840 Guys, go buy some gear for your wife, for your girlfriend, for your loved ones, and send it to them.
