Valuetainment - “If WE Go, YOU Go!” - EXPLOSIVE Debate Over U.S.-Israel Ground War In Iran

00:00:00.000 Tom, I'm going to come to you. This whole thing with Pentagon and, you know, sending troops

00:00:06.900 and Iran is just lining up ready for that with the update of USS Tripoli. We saw the video with

00:00:12.000 all the ships, how close they're getting. What is the latest with that, Tom? Well, the U.S. has

00:00:17.300 dispatched another aircraft carrier from Newport. They've dispatched the Nimitz to go to the

00:00:24.960 Mediterranean in support that left Virginia, I believe it is. And so all the show of force and 0.98

00:00:30.500 all the resources are there. The Tripoli is there. The boxer is right behind it now, which is another

00:00:36.560 assault carrier. And so everything is being set up. All the chess pieces are there for whatever

00:00:43.300 final onslaught they want to make. Karg Island, the I'm going to pronounce it terribly,

00:00:49.340 the Coestero-Carrar Island, which is the Long Island, which is right at the hook of the Strait

00:00:54.920 of Hormuz. So either one of those. So all the military assets, Pat, are there to take advantage

00:01:02.300 of it. And then as you properly pointed out, you know, you have NATO flip-flopping. They're

00:01:06.600 reacting to energy prices. They're reacting to, you know, their own polling at home. So what do

00:01:11.520 they do? Oh, well, we're not completely with them. Spain says we'll close the airspace. Oh,

00:01:16.020 we'll close the airspace says France. Oh, you can't use, you know, Sicily says Italy. So it's

00:01:21.240 like, come on, you know, you, you guys get a, either you're going to be allies, you're not

00:01:25.940 going to be allies. But right now, all of the assets are there. I'm anxious to hear what he

00:01:31.360 says tonight, but everything is there. If they want to take Carg Island or they want to get hot,

00:01:36.600 everything is there as well as what people, um, we have moved over there a ton of A-10 warthogs

00:01:43.760 And the A-10 Warthog is a massive Gatling cannon with an airplane attached.

00:01:49.880 And so we have everything we need over there.

00:01:52.580 And then this weekend, Pat, we're hearing that B-52s, which is a 70-year-old platform, are flying bombing missions unmolested.

00:02:02.460 So the surface-to-air missiles, Vinny, all those things that you would come up against are not happening.

00:02:08.780 So it's like we need to get on to the surrender or whatever it is, Pat.

00:02:12.860 And I think we got all the assets in position.

00:02:16.080 Vinny.

00:02:16.580 Well, when they say, you know, boots on the ground, which you've been hearing since this started.

00:02:20.540 While you're saying that, play that clip about the reporter trying to do a gotcha with Pete Hexet of boots on the ground, Rob.

00:02:25.720 You may want to play that clip, and Vinny, I'll come to you.

00:02:27.660 Go forward.

00:02:28.720 There's a lot of media coverage that suggested a ground invasion is imminent.

00:02:33.660 What other purposes might the soldiers and the Marines who have been deployed over to the Middle East serve in this conflict?

00:02:41.160 Well, just like the previous question, it's sort of military 101.

00:02:46.680 Don't tell your enemy what you're willing to do or not do,

00:02:49.940 and don't tell your enemy when you're willing to stop,

00:02:52.680 especially an enemy that likes to hide in bunkers

00:02:54.640 and try to hoard their missiles and hope he'll wait you out.

00:02:57.380 So that's not a question I'm going to answer

00:02:59.820 or the president has said definitively,

00:03:02.080 we have our own goals and guidance and military objectives

00:03:05.640 that we're moving toward and things that we look at.

00:03:07.600 And as he's articulated, you know, he said four to six weeks, six to eight weeks, three.

00:03:12.920 It could be any any particular number, but we would never reveal precisely what it is because our goal is to finish those objectives.

00:03:20.380 And we're well on our way. And the chairman and I look at this every single day.

00:03:24.380 It will be the president's determination and the president's determination alone.

00:03:28.080 I'm not going to sit here and act like I'm, you know, a military strategist.

00:03:32.080 But I mean, he's the Department of War. He's he's he's the leader. He makes fantastic points.

00:03:37.500 You don't tell the enemy.

00:03:38.920 But if this does, because they're saying that they want to send ground troops,

00:03:42.640 that's where it gets dangerous.

00:03:43.760 The moment boots hit the ground, you have to think about this, Pat.

00:03:46.860 Iranian drones, the missiles, ground fire, explosives, mines, all that.

00:03:51.200 And I have to be honest, I'm with you in the three to six,

00:03:54.220 but now with ground troops, I think it goes a little bit past six months,

00:03:58.060 potentially a year.

00:03:59.320 Because think about it.

00:04:00.280 You can go six to 12 months.

00:04:01.460 I think it goes.

00:04:02.120 If it goes six to 12 months, it's going to be a bloodbath.

00:04:06.220 I agree.

00:04:06.680 But, Lucas, let me ask you a question.

00:04:08.460 Let me ask you a question.

00:04:09.500 Here's a question for you, for all of you, Tom.

00:04:11.540 So let's just say it goes, one, say they go, regime collapse,

00:04:18.100 they go in similar to Venezuela, they take over, IRGC is done, one.

00:04:23.180 Two, they say they got rid of all the nuclear weapons,

00:04:26.740 all the nuclear capabilities, everything, that's the next case, two.

00:04:30.680 Three, they just get out and they do PR messaging.

00:04:34.900 We got the job done.

00:04:36.220 We did what we went there, what we were supposed to do.

00:04:38.300 But everybody's like, wait a minute, messaging was off.

00:04:40.500 You said you're going to do this.

00:04:41.300 You said you're going to do that.

00:04:42.000 You said you're going to do this.

00:04:43.020 But none of that stuff happened, right?

00:04:46.960 Which one, which event that happens between now and the midterms

00:04:50.960 is going to help Republicans the most?

00:04:54.120 Which event?

00:04:54.880 I think option two.

00:04:56.040 Which is what?

00:04:57.240 We went in there.

00:04:58.020 We took out all their Enriched Reunion and all that stuff.

00:05:01.520 And now we're going to help them, I guess, with leadership or something, like with Reza Pallavia, who said, I'm going to wait for all this craziness to stop.

00:05:11.080 And then I'm going to come in and help them.

00:05:12.360 Is there anything they can do with Iran for it to be favorable for Republicans during midterm?

00:05:19.840 Give me the most favorable situation for it to happen, for the market to be like, oh, my God, he did it again.

00:05:26.060 They're going to sweep.

00:05:27.040 You know, midterms is going to be insane.

00:05:29.360 What is that one event that could happen with Iran?

00:05:31.740 The most favorable is because Bibi just came out. 0.99

00:05:34.760 I told Rob, I sent this to Rob.

00:05:36.040 Rob, you don't have to pull up.

00:05:37.100 Bibi Netanyahu has declared that Iran is no longer poses an existential threat to Israel.

00:05:42.480 That means all the weapons to hit Israel is gone, which is great news, okay? 0.96

00:05:48.620 The only way, Pat, that this, like, the best news is, guys, all the uranium, all the missiles are gone.

00:05:54.960 And by the way, we've been kind of on the side, having leadership,

00:05:59.540 like having a government where the people want this guy,

00:06:02.020 they want Reza and this guy, and guys, they're going to start taking over,

00:06:05.160 which we don't have to put no regime change or nothing.

00:06:07.240 The people have chosen.

00:06:08.300 That's the only way people are going to be like, okay,

00:06:10.560 you guys kept it kind of secret, but okay, good for you.

00:06:13.120 Adam.

00:06:13.980 I'm actually very glad that you're asking this question

00:06:16.860 because this is the number one question.

00:06:18.440 All I've been focusing on is the signal through the noise

00:06:20.680 of what's going on here.

00:06:22.080 So Rubio came out and said it.

00:06:24.560 Here it is. He says, you want to know what the objective is of the war?

00:06:26.720 Actually, play that clip.

00:06:27.560 Here they are.

00:06:28.300 Actually, play that clip. It was yesterday.

00:06:29.700 That's what I want to go over.

00:06:30.180 Yeah, play the clip of what Rubio said, and then Adam, I'll come back to you.

00:06:33.740 I'm not even sure if this is the clip, but go ahead.

00:06:34.820 I think this is it. What are you saying?

00:06:36.520 People are asking what the objective of this is.

00:06:38.520 Yeah, go ahead.

00:06:39.120 But I saw another clip. Go ahead.

00:06:40.020 Many Americans are asking, why did the United States have to attack Iran now?

00:06:44.960 Well, let me explain.

00:06:46.320 Iran wants to have nuclear weapons.

00:06:48.160 Of that, there is zero doubt.

00:06:49.840 If what they truly wanted, which is what they claim, is nuclear energy,

00:06:53.440 well, they could have nuclear energy

00:06:54.740 like all the other countries in the world have it.

00:06:56.680 And that is you import the fuel

00:06:58.020 and you build reactors above ground.

00:07:00.680 That's not what Iran has done.

00:07:02.540 They build their reactors and their facilities

00:07:04.660 deep in mountains, away from the public glare.

00:07:08.160 And they want to enrich that material.

00:07:10.340 The same equipment that they could use

00:07:11.780 to enrich material for energy,

00:07:13.620 they could use to quickly enrich it to weapons grade.

00:07:16.680 So it is clear that they've been offered

00:07:18.220 every opportunity to have a nuclear program

00:07:21.300 that allows them to have energy,

00:07:22.520 not weapons, and every single time they have turned it down. But why the attack now? Well,

00:07:28.400 what was Iran trying to do? Iran was trying to build a conventional shield, in essence,

00:07:33.260 have so many missiles, have so many drones that no one could attack them, and they were well on

00:07:38.240 their way. We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones that no 1.00

00:07:43.340 one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable

00:07:47.980 risk. Under no circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision 1.00

00:07:53.800 of the future ever possess nuclear weapons. And under no circumstances can they be allowed to

00:07:59.160 hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one

00:08:05.500 can do anything about. This was our last best chance to eliminate that conventional threat,

00:08:11.400 that conventional shield that they were trying to build. And the president made the right decision

00:08:15.360 to wipe it out now.

00:08:17.020 That is the goal of this operation,

00:08:18.600 to destroy their conventional missiles

00:08:20.520 and their drone program

00:08:21.820 so they can't hide behind it

00:08:23.460 and finally have to deal with the world seriously

00:08:25.880 about never, ever having nuclear weapons.

00:08:45.360 just $1.99. It's for a limited time. You gotta try breakfast at A&W at participating A&W

00:08:55.280 locations in Ontario. Yeah, I mean, listen, sometimes you don't need to debate a million

00:09:01.900 different things when someone comes out and tells you. Now, here's the question I'll ask.

00:09:04.880 Do you believe Rubio? Because for me, when I see Rubio, I have a very calm presence.

00:09:10.620 I know he's not going to say anything bombastic. I know he's not going to try to

00:09:13.800 antagonized people actually think that rubio is a very stabilizing voice in the trump

00:09:18.880 administration and the poll that we just showed proves it did it not 33 yeah so to me this is how

00:09:24.440 i how i process this this is a moral and just war that needed to get done trump is the man of the

00:09:29.820 hour and he needed to be the person to do this we've done eight 1987 he talked about this how

00:09:35.600 many presidents have we had since then 10 different presidents whatever it's been nobody's done

00:09:39.420 anything, or they haven't done anything enough to basically mitigate this threat from Iran.

00:09:44.400 So Rubio come out there and says, listen, guys, there's three very clear objectives. Number one,

00:09:48.540 we're going to completely destroy their military, all their capabilities, their air force, their

00:09:52.840 navy, their ballistic missiles. Why? Because they have this shield. How many times did he

00:09:57.080 mention shield in that little two-minute speech? At least three times. It's basically shielding

00:10:01.900 their nuclear ambitions. And yes, they have nuclear ambitions. That's not even a doubt.

00:10:05.960 last but not least we're going to defeat their terror network which was they've done with their 0.86

00:10:10.120 allies israel namely and so they can't basically fly their planes which we just took out their 0.67

00:10:14.820 air force so they can can't fly their planes to drop off weapons to hezbollah or ramas or the

00:10:20.460 houthis so to me this is stability through strength iran is never listen i know you've

00:10:26.400 talked about being sort of like the doomsday approach we got to take them all out in my

00:10:30.060 approach this is it we're completely defanging these people they use that that that term you 0.99

00:10:36.100 guys want to be radicals you want to be shiite radical muslims go right ahead you want to kill 1.00

00:10:42.440 your own people do you buddy we think you're disgusting we don't we don't agree with you 1.00

00:10:48.180 if you want to do this thing in your neck of the woods that's all you but you're not going to hold 0.97

00:10:52.440 the rest of the world hostage like north korea and i'm so glad that trump and rubio have this

00:10:57.320 moral clarity to mitigate this cancer you know you know what you just made me think about what

00:11:01.400 the president could announce tonight let me tell you what he could announce tonight you know what

00:11:05.540 will be a massive announcement tonight how much has the war cost so far is it 33 billion 35 billion

00:11:11.800 40 billion what's the number right rob how much has the war cost us so far what's the number

00:11:19.420 uh no it's a higher number than that i saw 25 billion okay let's just say let's say 25 to 35

00:11:28.540 billion dollars and then they ask for an extra i think 200 billion yeah billion billion with a b

00:11:34.660 he asked for 200 billion but let's say so far it's cost 25 to 35 billion dollars okay imagine

00:11:41.180 he comes out tonight and he says, hey, big announcement. We just officially finalized

00:11:49.500 a deal that UAE, MBS, Qatar, and the Gulf states have decided to fund the war against

00:11:59.560 Iran. You won't be paying for it. They have decided. And here's what the message is from

00:12:04.980 them now what do they say so imagine so the argument of finances and taxes yep that goes

00:12:11.260 away he says imagine how much the people who are against this war they said finances first imagine

00:12:18.920 how important this has to be to the gulf states where they're sitting there saying we don't want

00:12:24.360 any of this i want to play you two clips we don't want any of this so much that guess what we're

00:12:28.380 willing to pay for it you know how you got 18 trillion dollars of companies that commit in

00:12:32.340 countries that committed to investing here what is it to couple these gulf states to say i'll give

00:12:35.900 me 200 billion dollars we'll fund it we'll pay for it if that announcement is made tonight wow but

00:12:41.460 let me tell you it shuts a lot of people up let me tell you why i think that's a possibility rob

00:12:46.620 do you have that clip from mbs explaining what his thoughts were uh i think i send that you should

00:12:54.840 have it somewhere where he's talking about iran and then after that i want you to go to one other

00:13:24.120 heavy-duty guy right play this clip play this clip go ahead rob go ahead

00:13:28.220 Read, most of the destructive projects are currently founded in the Middle East 1.00

00:13:34.420 and right next to us in the Kingdom of Saudi.

00:13:38.240 There's an Iranian regime that we all know has a purely ideological goal.

00:13:43.260 Its aim is not to serve the interests of Iran or the Iranian people,

00:13:46.380 but rather to serve the Iranian ideological interests.

00:13:49.040 There has been plenty of evidence over the past 30 years,

00:13:51.600 the most recent being when they received $150 billion

00:13:54.460 and didn't even build a single street housing complex

00:13:58.780 Their goal is clear that they only spend that money on launching missiles at Saudi 0.98

00:14:02.100 and supporting terrorist organizations in many parts of the world.

00:14:06.220 Furthermore, the Iranian regime's work in supporting terrorism is not limited to Hezbollah or Houthis.

00:14:14.560 We find today that many of the al-Qaeda's leaderships are based in Iran,

00:14:19.280 including the son of Osama bin Laden who was nurtured and raised in Iran

00:14:22.840 and now is trying to become the next leader of al-Qaeda,

00:14:27.880 we are all aware of the risks and we are communicating on how to deal with them

00:14:31.040 to ensure that the entire world is safe and secure,

00:14:36.520 whether in the Middle East, Europe, or anywhere else,

00:14:38.140 from these destructive ideologies.

00:14:43.120 Okay, so you watch this.

00:14:46.020 And who knows their neighbors better than a guy that lives in that community?

00:14:50.240 Nobody.

00:14:51.340 So if I was to ask you right now, you live in a community,

00:14:53.580 and imagine I'm telling you what your neighborhood is like.

00:14:55.620 You don't know them.

00:14:56.120 And you've lived there for 20 years, but you're like,

00:14:57.640 what the hell are you talking about?

00:14:58.380 It's not like that. 0.95

00:14:59.000 I live there.

00:15:00.080 Okay?

00:15:00.840 Do you know in Saudi, if you go around committing crime, 1.00

00:15:03.640 what they do to you in Saudi?

00:15:04.940 You know what the tolerance is?

00:15:05.380 Oh, you're finished.

00:15:06.160 If you steal, do they still chop your hand off?

00:15:08.200 Do you know what the tolerance they have there for crime?

00:15:11.280 Do you know what they'll do to you if you go speak radical languages? 0.92

00:15:14.720 Now, I want you to see supporters of IRGC in the streets,

00:15:17.760 how they're speaking.

00:15:19.220 I want you to watch how this woman speaks. 0.98

00:15:21.740 And tell me if you think in their hearts where they're at.

00:15:24.460 These are civilians.

00:15:26.100 These are not leaders.

00:15:27.400 These are civilians giving a message to the president.

00:15:29.360 Go ahead, Rob.

00:15:30.060 To Trump, we're not scared.

00:15:33.840 You can't scare us.

00:15:35.280 We are Iranians.

00:15:36.760 We're not scared.

00:15:37.900 We're not scared of your bombs.

00:15:39.840 You lack what we don't.

00:15:41.640 You lack faith what we don't.

00:15:44.980 We have our faith.

00:15:46.140 We have our faith on our soil, on our country, on our leadership.

00:15:51.620 What you don't, you don't have courage.

00:15:54.980 We have, you lack, your soldiers lack courage.

00:15:58.440 Your soldiers lack courage.

00:15:59.780 Our soldiers don't lack courage. 1.00

00:16:01.320 So remember that, you're the loser. 1.00

00:16:03.700 You're the loser in this war, that's for sure. 1.00

00:16:06.520 You already have lost, and you know that. 0.99

00:16:09.500 Listen, look at her face. 0.95

00:16:26.500 This is too, yeah.

00:16:28.500 So just letting you know on where they're at, right?

00:16:30.500 Support, but I live with these people.

00:16:32.500 I live with them.

00:16:33.500 There was two channels that they're repeating things

00:16:36.500 over and over and over again.

00:16:37.500 over and over again i want to give credit to pierce pierce had one of the spokesperson on

00:16:41.940 and the guy almost walked out i don't know if you guys have seen this clip or not where he pushes

00:16:46.680 back he says respectfully there's a big difference between you guys and us on this dude okay is this

00:16:51.660 it rob go click on this one i'll let you know if this is the one or not i tell you what we'll end

00:16:55.660 it like this i've had you on my show many many times right when do i get invited on iranian

00:17:01.680 state television oh you've gone i invited you to iran pierce i invited you to iran i'll do it like

00:17:09.640 you do i'll do it like you do very good down the barrel of a camera you put me on iranian state

00:17:15.800 television and let me say what i think about iranian state television in the way that i let

00:17:20.960 you come on my show and criticize my country and the united states and the west fair's fair right

00:17:28.300 professor because you've got freedom of speech in iran no problem in me piers morgan going on

00:17:34.540 iranian state television and hammering your regime only you won't let that happen and the

00:17:40.260 regime won't let it happen because amongst the many things that you repress the biggest thing

00:17:45.400 you repress is freedom of speech that's why you can't talk out against your regime and that's why

00:17:50.980 you wouldn't let me go on state tv in iran and talk out against your regime and that is the

00:17:57.100 difference between us so you can try and take the high moral ground but the reality is that is the

00:18:02.700 difference the best i've seen pierce morgan do yeah by far but it's a point to understand what

00:18:08.480 that climate is so if tonight the president gets up and announces that the gulf states have agreed

00:18:14.320 to fund everything that we're spending the market is going to be confused on what angle to take with

00:18:21.360 this and they're going to be like yeah but yeah but yeah but so at least one of the issues with

00:18:26.920 money's been addressed so the other issues that he has to address as well which is a bigger one

00:18:30.580 what's the other one when it's over when when it's over are troops on the ground like is that

00:18:36.820 going to happen so how they're going to address that nobody knows you know hex that said three

00:18:40.820 weeks ago that's president's decision if he wants to do it he has a choice to do it but

00:18:44.740 i i guarantee you he is thinking about every single one of these things that said the pentagon

00:18:49.780 prepares for weeks of ground invasion.

00:18:51.700 Vinny, I'll come to you, and I want to go to next.

00:18:52.920 Okay, and I'll do a fact.

00:18:54.160 Pat, the only thing that bothers me,

00:18:55.620 A, ground troops, because it's our soldiers.

00:18:57.380 I don't want any of our men, women dying.

00:19:00.740 The only thing that bothers me, Pat,

00:19:01.780 because Adam, you brought up Israel for a second.

00:19:04.260 They're saying that they're not going to send any ground troops.

00:19:06.620 I don't even think I brought up Israel.

00:19:07.380 No, you did earlier.

00:19:08.060 No, you did earlier.

00:19:08.840 You did, and you talked about the people of Iran,

00:19:10.900 but I'll get to that too.

00:19:12.280 Israel's not going to send any ground troops

00:19:14.420 because it does not have the logistics to sustain

00:19:16.780 the forces that far from home.

00:19:18.620 But the one thing that pisses me off is, like, right now, they have boots in the ground in Lebanon, and they're actually seizing land. 0.74

00:19:27.180 They're creating a buffer zone.

00:19:29.640 Whose boots?

00:19:30.900 Israeli boots.

00:19:31.840 No, no, that's what I'm saying.

00:19:32.620 And, Tom, I want to hear your opinion on this.

00:19:35.120 They have boots in the ground.

00:19:36.600 They're seizing land.

00:19:38.300 So you're not going to put boots in the ground in Iran, which, by the way, this war is for both of us, allegedly more for Israel than us.

00:19:44.960 But then you have people there.

00:19:47.040 You have your boots on the ground.

00:19:47.900 600,000 of those Lebanese people have to move out they say that they're going to be able to come 1.00

00:19:52.700 back and that's what like that tells me clearly that the logistics is for them when it serves

00:19:57.640 their objectives and I said this on the first podcast we did on the stage in the other building

00:20:02.160 if we send a thousand of our American troops I want 1,000 Israeli boots on the ground as well

00:20:09.140 but from what I'm hearing Adam from what they're saying it's not going to happen okay and like what

00:20:14.300 do we like i i disagree with that 1000 and earlier you said something about hey if they want to kill

00:20:19.520 each other and whatever the people whatever this whole thing started my from what i recall is for

00:20:26.080 the iranian people the iran by the way who we haven't heard i have your back i have your back

00:20:32.880 and i haven't heard one this guy that we just saw he has wi-fi he's sitting in a room he's talking

00:20:38.960 to pierce morgan what happened to the people i haven't heard anything i haven't heard any

00:20:44.020 updates uh and that's that's what i care about because to me besides the missiles and they were

00:20:49.200 in uranium what about the thousands that were in the street fighting and dying and and pushing out

00:20:54.780 their voices and the the the wrestlers that were being hanged in the middle of the street that's

00:20:59.160 what this comes down to and i'm very disappointed that israel's attitude is not we're not gonna

00:21:03.220 we're not gonna put troops meanwhile we're trying to expand somewhere else and then when you bring

00:21:07.640 up the greater israel project people are like you're crazy by the way that's a very that's a

00:21:11.540 very valid question if if very valid question if i'm sending my guys you got to send your guys if

00:21:16.820 you don't send your guys i'm sending my guys even the most logical player cannot sit there and say

00:21:22.700 what are you talking about even the most logical player and by the way even more from your end i

00:21:27.640 don't even want it to be one for one i don't even want it to be one for one it's got to be two for

00:21:32.080 one three for one because this benefits you more than it benefits me i know we're partners but it's

00:21:36.960 got to be a two-to-one or three-to-one situation when that's taking place. And then what does

00:21:42.180 that say, Pat? What does that say about your ally that they're like, no, we're good, but

00:21:46.160 you're over here, you're expanding? Like, wait a minute, time out. This is the situation

00:21:51.080 we're at. The expanding part of Lebanon is your concern? But walk me through it. How

00:21:55.220 is that a concern of you? Because right now, right now, the focus should be this war. Not

00:22:01.860 if you're defending yourself. No, that's not how this works, though. No, that's not how

00:22:04.760 this works and and let me tell you what I mean by that's not how it works so a lot of times

00:22:08.800 when you're when you're in a uh when you're in a very very chaotic situation like when the okay

00:22:16.260 let me put it to you this way remember when COVID happened how many banks were getting killed and

00:22:22.440 crushed remember Tom when COVID happened how bad was it for some banks it was scary for a lot of

00:22:28.580 guys. Very scary. Okay. So who capitalized off that crisis? Go ahead. No, no. Watch this. Go

00:22:33.720 ahead. Jamie Dimon. How many times? Multiple. Multiple times. You know why? Because he had

00:22:40.940 all the dry powder to absorb the banks because he understood that what was coming. So let me

00:22:46.020 ask you a question. Would you call Jamie Dimon an expansionist? Of course. It's not even a

00:22:51.000 hesitation. I call him a business guy. I know. But what I'm saying is in this reference,

00:22:56.060 Yes.

00:22:56.420 He's an expansionist.

00:22:57.360 You're expanding and he bought up other banks that couldn't handle it.

00:23:00.760 Yeah.

00:23:01.280 You don't think in this situation Netanyahu is going to be an opportunistic guy and saying, hey, let's take this.

00:23:06.760 Let's take that.

00:23:07.480 Let's take this.

00:23:08.420 Of course he is.

00:23:09.780 Trump would do that.

00:23:11.340 You don't think Trump's going to be taking over Cuba?

00:23:14.100 What do you call that?

00:23:15.120 I think so.

00:23:15.440 You don't think if Trump gets a chance to take over Greenland, he will?

00:23:18.040 You don't think if Trump gets a chance to take over, he will?

00:23:21.160 Of course.

00:23:21.980 So, okay.

00:23:23.580 I want him to.

00:23:24.020 I'm following.

00:23:24.680 So the part where I'm going with this is the following.

00:23:29.120 You can watch a guy and criticize him on a few different things,

00:23:32.900 but also be able to sit there and say,

00:23:35.180 I understand he's being opportunistic and taking advantage of what's going on right now,

00:23:39.600 and he's getting everything he can at this point.

00:23:42.160 Trump does that. He does that. I get that.

00:23:44.720 If I'm on the phone with him and I say, wait, you want me to send how many?

00:23:48.860 I'm going to send this, but here's the deal.

00:23:50.960 For every one I send, you send three.

00:23:53.420 For every one I send, you send two.

00:23:55.380 Because if you're getting out there saying, we're not going to have any boots on the ground, guess what?

00:23:59.240 Why am I sending my boots on the ground?

00:24:00.960 So then if I'm sending my boots on the ground, guess what I have to get from you?

00:24:04.520 Boots on the ground?

00:24:05.220 No, not boots.

00:24:06.460 You don't think if I'm sending my boots on the ground behind closed doors, I have to negotiate a strong deal to get more things out of you?

00:24:14.080 Oh, of course.

00:24:14.760 I have to.

00:24:15.160 I think so.

00:24:15.640 That we don't know.

00:24:16.640 Yes.

00:24:16.980 I don't know that part.

00:24:17.840 So that's the conversation.

00:24:18.880 I don't know.

00:24:19.140 We got a lot of messages, Pat.

00:24:20.260 You know, Monday, who do I go to if we don't have the podcast we were expecting?

00:24:23.300 We changed the business podcast.

00:24:24.480 Yesterday, I sat down with Lee Strobel for two hours.

00:24:26.980 Great conversation.

00:24:27.940 The author of Case for Christ.

00:24:29.120 Tomorrow, we're going to have Richard Werner to talk about the economy.

00:24:32.780 And I'm very excited about talking about it with him because he's got very good angles he goes through.

00:24:38.040 But to those of you guys, that message, thousands of you, that message saying we miss you.

00:24:43.660 We want to hear the conversations.

00:24:44.860 We want to hear the exchange.

00:24:45.940 And the podcast keeps climbing.

00:24:47.840 Every time we're doing a podcast, it climbs, and it happens because of you guys, and I'm grateful for you.

00:24:52.820 And for the 51% of you guys that tune in on a weekly basis, we would like to take that down to 25%.

00:24:58.560 51% of you that watches this who doesn't subscribe, it would mean the world to us if you do so.

00:25:07.940 We'd like to take this thing to 5 million subs and take Vali Tim into 10 million subs. 0.72

00:25:20.300 We're grateful for that.
