00:00:00.360 Okay, we're officially live due to an announcement that was made less than two hours ago from
00:00:06.880 President Trump causing us to do an emergency podcast.
00:00:10.560 We were getting a bunch of text messages, and this was the tweet that literally sent
00:00:16.180 shockwaves around the world.
00:00:17.880 Rob, if you want to put it up, we have completed our very successful attack on three nuclear
00:00:22.920 sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
00:00:26.940 Esfahan being the one place that I went to vacation, the only vacation I went on with
00:00:32.720 my mom and dad when I was a young kid in Iran.
00:00:35.280 Esfahan's got a lot of rich history.
00:00:37.500 All planes are now outside of Iran airspace.
00:00:40.500 A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site.
00:00:44.360 Fordow, all planes are safely on their way home.
00:00:47.340 Congratulations to our great American warriors.
00:00:49.620 There is not another military in the world that could have done this.
00:00:53.760 Now is the time for peace.
00:00:55.280 Thank you for your attention.
00:00:56.940 To this matter.
00:00:58.020 So while this was done and the announcement was made, right afterwards, the president
00:01:03.400 announced that around 10 o'clock tonight, he'll be going live.
00:01:06.300 The moment he does, we will be showing it with you and we'll be reacting to it together.
00:01:10.500 I will be giving an address to the nation at 10 p.m. at the White House regarding a very
00:01:14.760 successful military operation in Iran.
00:01:16.660 This is a historic moment for the United States of America, Israel, and the world. 0.59
00:01:21.380 Iran must now agree to end this war.
00:01:24.000 Thank you.
00:01:25.080 While this is going on, we have some clips, disturbing clips that you must see on what
00:01:29.340 this looked like that some locals in Esfahan were reacting to it.
00:01:33.360 Rob, if you can pull up some of these clips here.
00:01:35.800 There are some, I mean, right now, X must have the type of traffic.
00:01:39.140 Maybe it's the most traffic day on X, definitely the last two hours because of this announcement
00:01:45.540 being dropped.
00:01:46.800 Rob, if you've got any of the clips to show so the audience can kind of see what's going
00:01:50.000 on there, go ahead and turn them on if you're ready, Rob.
00:01:54.680 I do, Pat.
00:01:55.340 I think we should go.
00:01:56.340 I believe the president is speaking to the nation now, so I'm going to pull him up.
00:01:59.940 Let's just go to it first.
00:02:01.280 Let's go to it first.
00:02:12.720 Rob, if you've switched it, we can't see it.
00:02:20.360 Okay, here we go.
00:02:21.280 Thank you very much.
00:02:51.280 Thank you.
00:02:52.280 Thank you.
00:03:21.280 Thank you.
00:03:23.280 Thank you.
00:03:24.280 Thank you.
00:03:25.280 Thank you very much.
00:03:27.060 Thank you.
00:03:27.280 God, I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military.
00:03:32.480 Protect them.
00:03:34.000 God bless the Middle East.
00:03:36.200 God bless Israel.
00:03:37.240 And God bless America.
00:03:39.320 Thank you very much.
00:03:40.620 Thank you.
00:03:45.860 Very interesting.
00:03:47.260 Wow, the underline.
00:03:47.780 That has got to be the shortest press conference he's ever done.
00:03:50.100 That has got to be the shortest announcement he's ever done.
00:03:51.960 When they took out al-Baghdadi, that was roughly a 45-minute speech that he gave.
00:03:59.140 This was less than four minutes, less than two minutes.
00:04:02.040 Came out, gave the speech.
00:04:03.700 Rob, if we have some, by the way, if you notice who was there, you had Hexit, you had Rubio, and you have J.D. right there standing next to him after the speech was given.
00:04:16.560 Rob, if you have some of the clips, let's show some of the clips of what happened, what these explosions look like, and how the – I have a lot of thoughts on this, and I know you guys do as well.
00:04:28.780 This is Iran.
00:04:29.740 Rob, which one is this?
00:04:32.300 It's a mushroom cloud from Iran right now. 1.00
00:04:34.400 What is this, Rob?
00:04:39.900 Rob, do you know where that is?
00:04:41.120 That's at Fordow.
00:04:41.920 That's one of the –
00:04:42.540 Fordow.
00:04:43.600 Okay, got it.
00:04:44.300 Fordow.
00:04:44.740 Dude, oh, my.
00:04:45.740 Rob, do you have the one with Esfahan where the lady is in the back reacting to it?
00:04:49.520 I can grab that.
00:04:50.480 Hang on.
00:04:50.780 One second.
00:04:51.640 I texted it to you.
00:04:53.100 I think it's in the group text that we have.
00:04:55.640 Tom, what are your thoughts with this?
00:04:57.420 Again, I have a lot of thoughts I want to share, but what are your thoughts on this?
00:05:00.860 What's going on?
00:05:02.200 Well, my initial thoughts are last week, you know, countries and companies have been selling weapons to each other for 200 years.
00:05:10.540 Since the invention of the cannon and some other countries said, hey, how much for your cannon?
00:05:15.800 And I don't mind it if Israel buys our weapons and conducts an action that they think is important. 0.73
00:05:22.080 I also believe that Iran can't have nuclear weapons.
00:05:25.820 And I didn't want boots in the ground.
00:05:27.460 I didn't even want a pilot in the air.
00:05:28.960 I really wanted us to be supporting the mission for Iran not to have nuclear weapons and not be able there. 0.98
00:05:34.800 And now we've done it.
00:05:36.460 And I was hoping this was a surgical strike, single strike, in, out, get it done.
00:05:41.540 But even in the president's short words just now, he said there are other targets, many other targets.
00:05:47.140 And that sounds like a lot more engagement than I really hope to see.
00:05:51.900 I hope that this is over, that that incredible video we just saw, I hope that is a precision strike, an authentic video,
00:06:00.660 because that certainly looks like something just disintegrated.
00:06:04.840 I hope what disintegrated was Iran's nuclear capabilities. 1.00
00:06:08.320 But I'm a little processing what I just heard, Pat.
00:06:11.320 It's like there are many other targets.
00:06:13.240 It's like I don't want to be in, but I'm glad to help and sell whatever I have to in terms of weapons, provide, advise, and all that.
00:06:21.500 Yeah, so here's a couple things, Tom, when you're talking about that, because, you know, one of the angles is they said two weeks.
00:06:31.540 So you say two weeks, allowing Iran to think they have two weeks to react in them.
00:06:38.020 Boom, you hit them.
00:06:40.220 Catch them off guard.
00:06:41.080 The entire world is like, if you want to talk about a surprise attack, this was a surprise attack.
00:06:47.080 Look, Rob, can we run a poll and see what people say?
00:06:52.020 Support what the president just did.
00:06:55.520 Don't support what the president just did.
00:06:58.200 OK, just put it right there.
00:06:59.540 Very simple on the attacks.
00:07:01.160 I'm curious, because we can say whatever we want.
00:07:04.100 I mean, you guys, you know, the Republican Party right now, when you're looking at, you know, different people to talk to.
00:07:09.260 And by the way, X is not really America.
00:07:11.580 X is just a, so often we look at X, we're like the entire America's on X.
00:07:16.620 It's not X is a, the most actively involved, interested Americans on these topics are on X.
00:07:23.080 But if you watch it, a lot of people are not happy about this.
00:07:26.060 There was a very deep conversation that happened with Ted Cruz versus Tucker Carlson, one representing the fact that let's take him out.
00:07:34.260 The other one saying we don't want to get into another war.
00:07:36.660 So if you give credit to anything with Trump's administration, there's a lot of questions.
00:07:41.120 These are the questions I'd like to address today, guys, in the next 45 minutes.
00:07:44.340 I don't want to go longer than that.
00:07:46.160 The questions I got is the following.
00:07:48.260 One is, is this the next Afghanistan? 0.99
00:07:52.960 And how different is this from Afghanistan?
00:07:54.560 Because that's the biggest worry a lot of people have.
00:07:56.960 Is this going to be another one of those $3 trillion?
00:07:59.280 We can talk about that.
00:08:00.560 Two, if this, if this does, this does happen, will Iran be retaliating to what just happened right now with the attacks that took place?
00:08:09.880 Three, Netanyahu just came out and gave a talk, you know, with the message that he gave.
00:08:15.840 What is his reaction?
00:08:16.840 He knew he didn't have the weapons to be able to get these things done.
00:08:19.260 And as much as we hear about Israel's Air Force and as much power as people give to Israel, Israel, Israel, guess what?
00:08:25.480 Israel needed America to get the job done if we want to talk about that. 0.91
00:08:30.360 For the longest time, we've been told Israel has the best Air Force.
00:08:33.040 If you did, why couldn't you get this job done?
00:08:35.140 You needed Americans to get this job done. 1.00
00:08:36.780 So it still validates that America has the greatest military in the world.
00:08:40.480 Four, four, is now, let's just say Iran does happen. 1.00
00:08:43.960 A part of this is to American people.
00:08:45.700 The other part is to the Iranian people.
00:08:47.900 To the American people, what's about to happen to Iran?
00:08:51.260 To the Iranian people, what are you going to do with the smaller, the finite opportunity, timeline that you have to create the revolution that you want in Iran?
00:09:00.660 I'm specifically talking to the Iranians that live in Iran.
00:09:03.780 What are you going to do?
00:09:04.520 Who's your replacement?
00:09:05.720 Is it Reza Pahlavi?
00:09:06.700 We have a clip about how Reza Pahlavi, when he was asked just yesterday, his answer is still vanilla.
00:09:11.720 It's still a vanilla answer that he's given.
00:09:14.080 He cannot give a given backbone answer already.
00:09:17.320 Yes, no.
00:09:18.620 The Iranian people that want to see something happening here, he still has given a vanilla answer. 0.93
00:09:23.460 I don't understand this guy.
00:09:24.720 Get out the way or say you're going to do it.
00:09:26.660 Stop playing with people in Iran that are wanting some kind of a decision to be made. 1.00
00:09:30.460 So those are the things I want to talk about.
00:09:31.840 But let me go to the people that are.
00:09:34.420 What's the split on the poll right now, Rob?
00:09:36.060 I'm just curious.
00:09:36.980 I don't know what it's going to be.
00:09:38.940 I want to know how many people voted, and I want to know what they're saying, Rob.
00:09:41.520 What are you noticing with the poll of who's for it and who's against it?
00:09:46.280 Sounds about right.
00:09:47.260 So 9,000 of you have voted.
00:09:49.280 60% of you guys support what he did.
00:09:51.900 39%, 40% of you guys don't support it.
00:09:54.320 It actually makes sense to me.
00:09:55.940 It seems like the 40% right now is louder than the 60%. 0.78
00:10:00.620 So let me explain to you what I mean by that.
00:10:02.440 The 40% is much more louder.
00:10:04.420 So a lot of people are thinking it's 80% that don't want it.
00:10:07.460 But quite frankly, 60% are saying yes with all this stuff that is taking place.
00:10:11.740 One credit to Trump's camp.
00:10:14.100 One credit to Trump's camp I want to give.
00:10:15.680 I can't give a lot, but I'll just give you one credit here.
00:10:18.120 This is not easy.
00:10:19.300 To go through watching the political party, people who got you elected, now saying impeach
00:10:28.720 him, this is not what I voted for, this is not what I wanted, and you still having the
00:10:36.080 thick skin to say, we're going to get the job done.
00:10:38.740 And on top of that, nobody leaked anything the last four or five days, which means he
00:10:44.780 has taken the circle of everybody having access.
00:10:47.360 And whether it's he or Susie Wild, one by one by one, they're saying, nope, you're not
00:10:51.960 in this circle.
00:10:52.900 You're in this circle.
00:10:54.100 You're in this circle, but you're not in this circle.
00:10:56.080 He's out.
00:10:57.220 They're out.
00:10:58.140 This person's out.
00:10:59.380 Tulsi Gabbard is wrong based on what he said just yesterday or two days ago.
00:11:02.920 I'm willing to bet they got rid of all the people that they did not want to know this
00:11:07.500 decision was being made or a threat was made, a business type of threat.
00:11:12.020 I swear to God, if I find that anything was leaked and it was because of you, you're the first
00:11:16.980 person I'm firing publicly.
00:11:18.620 Very simple.
00:11:19.880 They stayed united and then they shocked the world.
00:11:22.800 They shocked Iran. 0.99
00:11:23.740 They shocked everybody.
00:11:25.560 Nobody knew except for the people that were involved.
00:11:27.480 That part, you got to give credit to them.
00:11:29.280 It's very hard to do.
00:11:30.300 It's not an easy thing to do to get the right people that are unified on an issue like this.
00:11:34.460 And I see that USA hat fires me up.
00:11:39.040 I know this is a phase of fear, porn, scared.
00:11:42.380 I don't know what to do.
00:11:43.180 All this other stuff.
00:11:44.440 This is when leaders rise up.
00:11:46.600 This is when leaders rise up and believe the future looks bright.
00:11:49.260 It's okay for us to believe, be a little bit paranoid.
00:11:51.820 It's okay for us to be a little bit concerned.
00:11:53.580 We ought to be.
00:11:54.560 It's okay for us to be worried about our kids, our safety, our family, all of that stuff.
00:11:58.200 That's what leaders do.
00:11:59.360 It's our job.
00:11:59.960 The burden comes with it.
00:12:01.860 But no matter how much burden you got, you just saw that man right there, what he did.
00:12:06.480 This is why we love the future looks bright brand.
00:12:10.420 Rob, can you go to vtmerch.com, show those hats right there, USA?
00:12:13.900 I love when I see these future looks bright USA hats.
00:12:17.700 Go to vtmerch.com, folks.
00:12:19.620 This is the time to represent this.
00:12:22.320 We want to have a million people wearing this because we want more people to be optimistic about the future of America.
00:12:28.200 We want more people to support this when they're out there.
00:12:31.160 To say, I'm proud.
00:12:32.480 I am proud to be American.
00:12:34.380 I am proud.
