00:00:07.940 Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime.
00:00:12.200 I wonder if my out-of-office has a forever setting.

00:00:32.940 This is not an article from the Inquirer.
00:00:35.640 This is an article from Wall Street Journal.
00:00:38.920 What do you mean Trump and Netanyahu hold a testy call over Iran?
00:00:43.340 President Trump and Bibi held a contentious call Tuesday evening,
00:00:47.680 people familiar with the matter said,
00:00:49.100 with Netanyahu railing against a pact to end the war with Iran
00:00:52.260 and Trump defending the diplomatic process.
00:00:54.980 Israel has long expressed skepticism that Iran would abide
00:00:57.940 by any agreement to dismantle its nuclear work
00:01:01.040 and refrain from attacks on regional nations.
00:01:04.420 Netanyahu reiterated those points with Trump in a Tuesday call
00:01:07.800 and an earlier one on Sunday, the people said,
00:01:10.360 Trump was unconvinced, telling Netanyahu he would continue to pursue
00:01:13.920 an accord that prevents Iran from ever acquiring a nuclear weapon.
00:01:18.940 Trump added that Iran faced fresh strikes
00:01:21.660 if it did not show more flexibility in the talks.
00:01:25.880 Rob, is this the recording?
00:01:27.260 No, this is actually President Trump being asked about the call.
00:01:29.660 Okay, go for it. Go ahead.
00:01:30.720 What if you said to bring the prime minister about Iran and how long?
00:01:35.320 He's fine. He'll do whatever I want him to do.
00:01:37.980 He's a very good man.
00:01:40.680 He'll do whatever I want him to do, and he's a great guy.
00:01:44.700 To me, he's a great guy.
00:01:46.660 Don't forget, he was a wartime prime minister,
00:01:49.180 and he's not treated right in Israel, in my opinion.
00:01:53.080 I'm right now at 99% in Israel.
00:01:55.940 I could run for prime minister, so maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel, run for prime minister.
00:02:01.920 I had a call this morning. I'm 99.
00:02:03.600 I didn't see this.
00:02:05.040 So that's good. But, no, he's a wartime prime minister, and I just don't think they treat him well.
00:02:12.200 Okay, so I'll continue here.
00:02:13.540 Speaking to reporters, when Wednesdays, asked later when he was close to making a decision on Iran,
00:02:18.880 he replied, it's right on the borderline.
00:02:21.420 We have to get the right answers.
00:02:22.580 It would have been a complete 100% good answers.
00:02:24.960 There have been a flurry of high-level diplomatic activity this week
00:02:28.020 between mediators, including Pakistan.
00:02:30.160 So anyways, you see something like that, Ilan.
00:02:31.840 What do you think about it?
00:02:32.880 Number one, I do think if I'm just going to look at this objectively
00:02:35.560 from Netanyahu's standpoint, I do think that he sees this
00:02:38.660 as one of the last-ditch attempts to be able to have the United States
00:02:42.960 back them in a heavy act in Iran.
00:02:46.180 Because after Trump, it's game over for that kind of involvement.
00:02:49.900 I do think that Trump does have a lot of influence over Netanyahu,
00:02:53.420 regardless of what people say he's demonstrated his ability to taper him back when necessary
00:02:57.320 um trump's in a in a pretty hard place with this when this all started i really really believed
00:03:03.660 even selfishly biasly that regime change could happen that was like my dream for this that's
00:03:08.720 off the table for me in my mind now and i think trump sees the reality of the situation sometimes
00:03:12.200 you go into a situation wanting one thing you come out realizing a victory is something completely
00:03:16.420 different i think trump does see that a victory in this situation is something like a long-term
00:03:22.240 limitation on Iran's ability to be nuclear,
00:03:26.880 the destabilization, if you look at the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas,
00:03:30.140 the Middle East has a totally different...
00:03:32.020 The 20 years, because he said he's open to the 20 years.
00:03:34.460 I don't know if you saw that or not.
00:03:35.520 He's open to a 20-year where they're not dealing with anything
00:03:38.780 with nuclear for 20 years.
00:03:42.140 Well, the question is, will Iran actually abide by anything like that?
00:03:45.280 And the truth is that most likely they won't,
00:03:47.320 but at least there'll be some degree if you can put the measures in place
00:03:50.800 to be able to monitor it'll be a much safer middle east than it is now i think trump is playing a
00:03:55.160 very very very tightrope balancing act between appearing strong enough to not appear weak but
00:04:01.440 also not drive us into a full-scale conflict also while appealing to people who are pro-israel but
00:04:05.940 also appealing to isolationists and populists and then when you say elon um you know because we
00:04:11.220 thought this we thought regime change remember the new york uh times article they said that they
00:04:15.300 were in the room and bb and massad was on you know zoom or whatever and that when they left they said
00:04:20.060 that this is like they warn the president this is what israel does they they uh oversell and
00:04:25.880 under deliver so i think he was in there and you know he was told it'll be quick it'll be venezuela
00:04:30.360 and he you know he believes the people around him the people that want the best for him but i think
00:04:34.120 in this situation trump and it's frustrating pat because i think trump is trying to prevent this
00:04:38.500 thing to keep going and going and going but bb wants uh more escalation if you think about it
00:04:43.640 too um negotiators are are are getting killed um you know and trump's trying to figure out a path
00:04:49.300 for a deal but here's my thing what else is bb1 i know we were talking about you know getting rid
00:04:52.900 of um the plutonium or whatever the uranium whatever that whatever's going on but like
00:04:58.220 what else does bb want what else we bro their navy's at the bottom of the of the sea their
00:05:03.620 nuclear capabilities decimated the infrastructure's hammered we keep killing all the leadership and 0.64
00:05:08.180 the only thing that bothers me pat is the relationship that we have with israel they're 0.89
00:05:11.920 saying come on come on do it if they do go strike what do we do we have to back them that's what
00:05:17.380 we've all it's it's history repeats itself we keep going if they do something we back them so i i i
00:05:22.500 love the fact that he's obviously arguing and pushing back and saying like bro like relax can
00:05:26.960 we have a freaking peace deal because what's the objective and i love that you said that there is
00:05:31.200 going to be no regime change they're killing us on the freaking straight of hormones it's like bro 0.56
00:05:35.060 we want this thing to wrap up and hurry up and finish so um i disagree a little bit with vinny
00:05:40.300 on one thing uh the advisors are around trump i don't think they want what's what's best for him
00:05:45.340 I don't think they want it all.
00:05:46.780 I think the war hawks want war, and they want what they want for the military-industrial complex.
00:05:51.340 I think foreign lobbyists in Israel wants what Israel wanted.
00:05:55.140 And I think a lot of people were in that room, and it got pushed.
00:05:58.120 And I don't think he got good advice.
00:05:59.700 I don't think he got good advice at all, because all you do is look at it.
00:06:02.820 Okay, the plan for the war, what happened, step one, step two, step three, what actually happened?
00:06:08.040 So either the advisors were wrong or we got beat.
00:06:11.020 I don't think we got beat.
00:06:12.300 I think the advisors were wrong.
00:06:14.260 Second, you know, the one thing that I look at is if all the things we talk about are true,
00:06:21.080 oh, we've decimated this, there are navies at the bottom of the sea,
00:06:24.000 well, then why isn't there a deal? 0.78
00:06:25.980 If we've really got them all the way by the throat, down on the floor,
00:06:29.420 why didn't they tap out?
00:06:30.920 Why didn't they take a deal?
00:06:32.420 And now we've entered the world of a world I don't like.
00:06:36.380 Well, at least, put that in quotes and look at how many times that's going to be said
00:06:40.800 over the next three weeks.
00:06:42.360 Well, at least they don't have it for 20 years.
00:06:44.920 Well, at least they give up, you know, maybe the rocket boosters.
00:06:48.280 Well, at least China's no longer giving them rocket fuel.
00:06:51.080 You just wait.
00:06:51.860 That's what we're going to get, because that is a sign of backing off on where this is going to be.
00:06:56.580 And the thing that bugs me is how this shifted.
00:07:01.200 First, we said, hey, I see you there.
00:07:04.820 Don't hang those three boys.
00:07:07.280 Don't do it.
00:07:08.360 That's a red line for me.
00:07:10.260 And help is on the way.
00:07:11.980 Then it was, well, they have nuclear ambitions and within a couple of weeks they could have a nuclear weapon and we don't want that.
00:07:18.340 And it shifted. So there was a speech about the people. Then we shifted there.
00:07:22.040 And now I sit back. Who's talking about the people?
00:07:25.260 No, nobody's talking about the IRGC is going to commit political genocide.
00:07:30.820 They are going to go for their enemies. They're going to imprison them.
00:07:34.460 People are going to die. And tell me that these people waited 47 years for this.
00:07:40.440 Yeah.
00:07:41.000 That disappoints me terribly.
00:07:43.160 And Pat, not to, may I, and I'm not saying, Tom,
00:07:45.640 the advisors that I was talking about was Pete Hegseth was in there,
00:07:48.620 General Cain, Rubio, and John Ratcliffe, head of CIA,
00:07:52.500 were trying to tell him, like, hey, listen, you know,
00:07:55.020 weigh your options, but we still did it.
00:07:57.080 Those are the advisors that I was talking about.
00:07:59.040 Did all of those say this?
00:08:00.880 And the New York Times article said that they did?
00:08:03.040 All of those ones you just listed.
00:08:04.540 Yes, I can.
00:08:05.100 Rubio and Hegseth both said, you know, be careful about this.
00:08:09.000 maybe we don't want to do this? Yes, and General Cain
00:08:10.920 said something as well. I'll find out the direct quotes.
00:08:13.440 So here's
00:08:14.500 what I've read and heard about this.
00:08:17.380 In a situation like this, guys, let's face
00:08:19.180 it, it's not everybody saying let's go to war
00:08:21.120 and everybody saying don't go to war.
00:08:23.940 We're sitting here talking
00:08:24.960 about issues and we don't agree on all issues.
00:08:26.920 So hey, what do you think we should do?
00:08:29.200 And then you make the decision. He made the decision.
00:08:31.340 The president made the decision based on the
00:08:32.860 information that he had. So the onus is
00:08:34.980 on the leader that made the decision and he has no problem
00:08:36.960 with it. He'll live with the decision. And don't
00:08:38.880 forget what word he used as everything was taking place what is the most important word word he used
00:08:44.940 in war or any of the other issues it's a word that starts with the letter f he says we're going to
00:08:50.980 stay fluid very very simple everything's going to be fluid maybe we'll do it this way on this one
00:08:57.120 maybe we'll do it this way on this one and by the way sometimes you attack and then things are not
00:09:02.360 what you expect it to be and then you have to adjust and pivot that's what leaders have to do
00:09:05.540 in life it's not like every time it's going to be the same thing hey here's how i'm going to handle
00:09:08.500 this situation so i i don't know but what i do know is if you notice the way he talked he's so
00:09:12.780 good at doing this where he say yeah he's gonna do whatever i tell him to do whatever i tell him
00:09:17.440 to he's gonna do but at the same time guess what he's a great guy remember he's a wartime leader
00:09:21.560 he's gonna do whatever i tell him matter of fact if i'm done with this if i go to israel and i run
00:09:25.220 i would become the prime minister look at the way he makes sure the world knows i'm the charge
00:09:29.760 you know head you know what in charge i'm the guy that's running this i'm the guy that's running the
00:09:35.100 show here go ahead adam bingo you know i i have not been following all the nuance of the day-to-day 0.96
00:09:41.900 uh the whore moves i mean you'll drive yourself crazy with that but the last thing you said is 0.51
00:09:49.160 exactly where i would have started the first thing you said he goes he'll do whatever i want 0.98
00:09:53.100 straight up i laughed out loud because i saw the the humor in it i saw the realness in it i saw the
00:10:00.940 the chiding the oh no you yeah you think bb owns me are you kidding me kind of flex and
00:10:07.400 yeah i'll do whatever i want now granted israel and u.s are on the same team they're allies
00:10:14.440 correct is that is that a controversial statement these days they're allies uh they have different 0.99
00:10:20.160 interests in the region don't forget america wants to get in and out of this asshole country 0.99
00:10:25.620 forgive me and move on to china china pivot hello we know that just literally went to china 0.98
00:10:31.640 But Israel has to stay in that region. 0.59
00:10:33.960 UAE has to stay in that region. 0.64
00:10:35.460 Saudi has to stay in the region.
00:10:37.020 All these neighbors, Kuwait, they're the ones telling, asking Trump,
00:10:40.940 don't start doing epic fury. 0.94
00:10:45.140 Keep the economic fury.
00:10:47.040 But here's where I want to go, big picture, and I'll go super quick.
00:10:50.520 Bibi gave an interview about a week ago.
00:10:52.140 I don't know if we addressed it on the podcast.
00:10:54.840 An hour and a half real interview.
00:10:57.460 And here's what I took from it.
00:10:58.520 so for all the israel haters like what's the number one thing you hear who's got to stop
00:11:04.560 funding israel we have to stop funding bb goes yeah sure let's do it yeah 10-year plan deal
00:11:10.420 because it's 3.8 billion dollars a year that and i'm not going to get too nuanced here
00:11:15.000 about 80 you buy back weapons it's weapon buyback guys that's all it is sure he said sure we don't
00:11:20.980 need it anymore by the way he also said whether you like it or not now since october 7th praise
00:11:25.960 for impact israel is the now most powerful richest country per capita in the middle east and it's not
00:11:31.900 even close the innovation the tech the defense the entrepreneurism the startup culture it's
00:11:37.640 crazy what they've done there i mean juxtapose that what's going on whatever's going on with
00:11:41.440 countries that only have oil or don't even have anything including oil but the last thing i'll
00:11:46.860 say is this trump is in no rush to do a deal and this is where you and i sort of disagreed
00:11:54.000 you said june 14th i said probably after july three months it's not a big disagreement
00:11:59.360 but i think trump at the end of the day you've used this term before he's kind of floating at
00:12:03.800 this point he's kind of like he knows what he's doing he's been doing this 10 years he's not
00:12:08.280 going to get caught up in the headlines and he knows exactly where he stands rob is this the
00:12:12.060 clip on him talking about iran cannot have enriched uranium yes go ahead rob and they keep their highly
00:12:17.000 enriched uranium no no we get the highly enriched we will get it we don't need it we don't want
00:12:23.980 it we'll probably destroy it after we get it but we're not going to let them have it yeah there you
00:12:28.740 go so that's kind of what his position is there we got something special let me tell you guys before
00:12:32.140 i turn it over to a guy that you guys all love uh according to the survey we did i you guys love him
00:12:37.440 so much but i don't know if you love him that much yet and i'll tell you afterwards why and i got a
00:12:41.220 challenge for everybody but i do know you love him a lot last time we did a hat that came out faith
00:12:48.480 over fear do you know how many complaints we got because it was half that we ordered less than a
00:12:52.380 I don't know what it was, maybe $500, $700.
00:12:54.980 It went like this.
00:12:56.440 Everyone's like, wait a minute.
00:12:57.660 I want to order more.
00:12:58.560 I want it.
00:12:58.900 Gone.
00:12:59.320 And we have to wait three months because our shipments takes a while to make them.
00:13:02.440 But today, I don't want that to happen to you.
00:13:04.540 And with that being said, Vinny, share with us what's the latest item that you have available for the audience.
00:13:09.080 So, Pat, it's the hat that I'm wearing right now, which I'm going to tell you guys right now.

00:13:20.620 My hair is a little bit messed up.
00:13:21.880 uh isaiah chapter 6 verse 8 in the back the inspiration comes from isaiah chapter 6 8 i know
00:13:27.600 tom knows this uh isaiah hears the lord speaking and he's asking for volunteers like who's gonna
00:13:33.360 go and talk to the people and tell them to change their ways and isaiah steps up and this is what he
00:13:38.060 says uh he has uh and i heard the voice of the lord saying whom shall i send and who will go for
00:13:43.860 us and then i said here am i send me and this is what this hat stands for it stands for answering
00:13:50.580 the call in a world where everybody stays quiet to protect themselves this means you are willing

00:14:07.860 represent jesus christ without fear and this is exactly where this hat says and this is why it
00:14:12.960 inspired me and this is what this is about and elon actually made a great point pat it's in another
00:14:17.620 context you remember in uh the town where uh ben affleck walks in and his friend's sitting there
