00:00:00.000 Well, you know what? Here's a question for you.
00:00:01.260 Yeah.
00:00:01.500 Question for everybody here at the panel.
00:00:03.220 Okay.
00:00:04.300 Do you think there is propaganda going of people being anti-Israel?
00:00:12.880 Do you think propaganda is taking place right now to be pro-war?
00:00:16.820 Do you think there's actual money being spent right now on propaganda,
00:00:21.720 whether it's AIPAC, Qatar, you know, different people that are putting up there?
00:00:30.960 Do you think people are being paid to spew propaganda today?
00:00:35.560 A thousand percent.
00:00:36.460 Do you think they are?
00:00:37.300 Everybody.
00:00:38.020 Do you think so?
00:00:38.500 Okay.
00:00:38.860 So then let me ask you this question.
00:00:40.460 Do you think any of it has worked on you?
00:00:43.980 Oh, yeah.
00:00:44.420 Absolutely.
00:00:45.320 I mean, I would be, yeah.
00:00:46.820 Anybody who says no is a liar.
00:00:48.140 Everybody's swayed a certain way by stuff that they see and they read.
00:00:51.160 So then what do you do so it doesn't get a hold of you?
00:00:56.300 Facts.
00:00:56.840 Facts don't care about if you are going for facts, actual facts,
00:01:01.280 then you're going to get swayed either way.
00:01:03.800 If you watch Fox, you're going to have this point of view.
00:01:06.460 If you watch CNN, you're going to have this point of view.
00:01:08.620 If you're just out there trying to get the truth,
00:01:11.240 I think the truth stands on its own merit.
00:01:13.500 You don't have to go, well, I'm kind of swayed.
00:01:16.460 Show me the facts and then I'll make a decision.
00:01:19.480 Does that make sense?
00:01:20.400 I don't think that's it.
00:01:22.420 You don't think facts?
00:01:23.660 No, because even facts can be, you know.
00:01:26.160 But the truth is the truth.
00:01:27.840 It is.
00:01:28.480 But it's not like if I give you data right now and I tell you, you know,
00:01:33.900 from 19, even the other day, guy responds.
00:01:36.900 From 1941 to 79, 77, how many people died in the Middle East because of wars?
00:01:44.340 So what year?
00:01:45.420 So it's very simple.
00:01:47.260 Go to ChatGBT, Rob.
00:01:48.640 Ask this question.
00:01:49.860 From 41, when the Shah was president, to 77, okay, until 77. 0.73
00:01:55.740 This video I posted retweeted because of Bill Ackman.
00:02:00.400 Bill Ackman retweeted this video, something we talked about on the podcast a couple days ago.
00:02:03.780 It was posted on this other parody account and it got 10 million views, but it also got a lot of hate and commentary on it.
00:02:11.840 I can't believe you said this.
00:02:13.100 I can't believe you said that.
00:02:14.600 It's one of the videos.
00:02:15.620 Rob, is that the one?
00:02:16.960 I believe so.
00:02:17.660 9.1 million views.
00:02:18.720 Yeah.
00:02:18.820 So this one right here, right, which is the not-PBD account, but it's from our podcast.
00:02:24.520 So the video is an actual, not an AI video, but it's a video from us.
00:02:28.340 So go back to ChatGBT, Rob, and ask the question from 41 to 77, how many wars were started by Iran, Israel?
00:02:40.620 And then ask the question, how many people died in the Middle East during that time?
00:02:47.180 And what is 41 to 1977?
00:02:49.640 How long is that, Vinny?
00:02:50.500 30 years.
00:02:51.020 30 what?
00:02:51.720 30 to be exact.
00:02:52.720 36.
00:02:53.540 So what we're going to do is we're going to measure 36 to 36.
00:02:56.660 Pre-Shah, post-Shah. 0.94
00:02:57.920 Okay.
00:02:58.260 Okay?
00:02:59.220 So Israel wars and conflict wars, Israel was involved in.
00:03:03.840 Arab-Israel war, war of independence.
00:03:05.800 France, death toll, 15 to 20,000, 6,000 Israelis, 9 to 15,000 as Arabs.
00:03:11.660 Suez crisis, Israel, UK, France, 3,000 total.
00:03:15.760 Egyptians, Israelis, British, French.
00:03:18.760 The Six-Day War, 1967, 20,000 Arabs, 800 Israelis.
00:03:23.280 The Yom Kippur War, 8 to 19,000 combined, 2,600, 2,100 Israelis.
00:03:29.560 Iran did not start any major wars.
00:03:33.100 None under Pallavi.
00:03:38.800 Iran was involved in some border skirmishes, but no declared wars.
00:03:45.080 That's my point.
00:03:47.800 I don't care what Israel does. 0.95
00:03:50.880 Iran is my main common denominator here.
00:03:53.940 Vinny, this is how many people they started wars with.
00:03:57.280 Iran.
00:03:58.500 Okay?
00:03:59.360 36 years.
00:04:00.220 And by the way, all of these wars that Israel started.
00:04:02.340 Yes, they get credit for starting wars.
00:04:04.800 Well, I wouldn't say starting.
00:04:05.840 Hang on a second.
00:04:06.640 Some attacks.
00:04:07.460 But what I'm trying to say to you is, yes, some of them was instigated by Israel. 0.54
00:04:11.760 Safe.
00:04:12.400 Okay?
00:04:13.240 But what do you see with Iran during that time?
00:04:16.000 What does it unequivocally say?
00:04:18.460 Iran did not start any major wars.
00:04:20.180 During this period.
00:04:21.180 The only thing they did is what?
00:04:22.340 Protect their border.
00:04:23.240 Yep.
00:04:23.760 That's how many years.
00:04:24.780 That's when the Shah was under leadership. 0.72
00:04:27.360 36.
00:04:27.720 Now, do me a favor.
00:04:28.420 What's 36 plus 77?
00:04:31.580 What's 36 plus 77?
00:04:33.740 Tom.
00:04:34.040 So, you got 23, 2013, I think.
00:04:37.140 Okay.
00:04:37.840 So, if you go to, now do the same thing and type in the same exact thing, except change
00:04:43.200 it, 78 to 2013.
00:04:47.820 This is data.
00:04:48.600 You said you like facts, right?
00:04:49.600 Yeah.
00:04:49.620 That's how to not fall for propaganda?
00:04:52.060 Of course.
00:04:52.340 Let's do it.
00:04:52.720 I don't know what it's going to say, by the way.
00:04:54.940 So, wars and campaigns.
00:04:56.140 Iraq war was a million.
00:04:56.820 Watch this.
00:04:58.860 82 Lebanon war.
00:05:00.040 First Lebanon war.
00:05:00.980 Israel invaded Lebanon.
00:05:02.680 Blah, blah, blah.
00:05:03.000 PLO.
00:05:03.520 15 to 20,000.
00:05:05.180 Gaza wars.
00:05:06.220 1,400 Palestinians.
00:05:07.460 160.
00:05:07.920 So, you got two of them right there.
00:05:09.880 That Israel started. 0.98
00:05:11.580 Iran.
00:05:12.740 Ready?
00:05:13.980 Iran was a major city in proxy wars.
00:05:16.120 Iran-Iraq.
00:05:16.800 1980-88.
00:05:18.580 500,000 to a million.
00:05:21.200 Support to Hezbollah.
00:05:23.040 Okay.
00:05:23.940 Then you got post-2003 Iran conflict.
00:05:27.220 Death toll.
00:05:28.040 What's the total count there?
00:05:29.420 Go a little bit lower?
00:05:31.100 What are you looking at there?
00:05:32.580 Estimated death toll.
00:05:34.520 825 to 1.6 million.
00:05:37.380 Who's the common denominator?
00:05:39.600 Is it still, you're still going to, what is it?
00:05:42.880 I thought, like, Iran is a peaceful regime.
00:05:46.800 I never said that.
00:05:47.760 I never said that.
00:05:48.180 Vinny.
00:05:48.440 But what I'm trying to say is, if we know that the common denominator that gets people
00:05:54.600 to shake and shiver is one country, it's only Israel. 0.99
00:06:01.100 And I don't blame you.
00:06:02.240 I get it.
00:06:02.700 Like, sometimes, like, even when people have TDS, you know what I say?
00:06:05.400 I get it.
00:06:05.980 Because Trump is a little bit what?
00:06:07.360 What's Trump? 0.98
00:06:08.400 Chaotic. 0.99
00:06:08.680 Is Trump cocky? 0.94
00:06:10.300 Yeah.
00:06:10.660 100%.
00:06:11.060 Is he super confident?
00:06:12.500 Yes. 1.00
00:06:12.920 Is he a guy that'll call your ass out nonstop? 1.00
00:06:15.380 Yes. 1.00
00:06:15.660 Does he give a shit whether your name is, you're an ally, you're this, you're that? 0.99
00:06:18.960 He does that nonstop, right? 0.99
00:06:20.120 Okay.
00:06:20.980 Guess what?
00:06:21.400 Does Israelis think a little bit highly of themselves? 1.00
00:06:25.080 Yes.
00:06:25.460 Do they think they're better than you?
00:06:26.740 Yes. 1.00
00:06:27.020 Do they sometimes give you the vibe that their shit don't stink? 1.00
00:06:29.440 Yes or no? 1.00
00:06:29.880 Yep.
00:06:30.280 Yes.
00:06:30.700 And how do we feel about people like that?
00:06:32.220 We don't like them.
00:06:33.420 I never liked them when I was in high school, people like that.
00:06:35.680 I didn't get along with people like that.
00:06:36.920 I'm a one-pointed GPA guy in school.
00:06:38.640 I'm a regular guy that came up in school.
00:06:41.000 So I understand both deranged syndromes.
00:06:45.040 But you said facts are facts?
00:06:46.360 Those are facts for you.
00:06:48.720 Pre-78, the Middle East was at peace for the most part.
00:06:55.360 Post-chaos.
00:06:56.940 What is a common denominator?
00:06:58.860 The Hezbollahs, the Mullahs, Khomeini, Rafsanjani, all of those guys cause chaos. 0.99
00:07:06.720 And they don't want to do business with you.
00:07:09.400 They don't want to do business with capitalism and all these other guys.
00:07:13.240 They don't.
00:07:14.280 So this is the part when I say, has propaganda ever gotten a hold of you?
00:07:19.360 Like, hey, I know for a fact these guys are Zionists funded by XYZ. 0.99
00:07:23.740 You guys know.
00:07:24.360 By the way, to all the people that say we're funded by Zionists, how many sponsorships do you see we do?
00:07:29.940 Tell me.
00:07:31.560 Go ahead.
00:07:32.080 I'll wait.
00:07:33.860 How many NFT sponsorships do we do?
00:07:36.660 You don't think we were offered millions of dollars?
00:07:39.580 The other day, my sponsorship guy, back in the days, who we moved on with, text me.
00:07:45.960 He said, Pat, I still tell people how much you ate sponsorship money.
00:07:48.680 How much sponsorship money have we taken, Vinny?
00:07:51.520 Zero.
00:07:52.360 Who controls us for us to be able to say what we want to say?
00:07:55.140 Nobody.
00:07:55.760 We say what we want when we want.
00:07:57.180 We talk openly about it.
00:07:58.700 Yep.
00:07:58.880 So you guys have Jewish money, Israeli money, Zionist money, whatever, Qatar money, Russian money.
00:08:04.140 You never heard our names in any one of those things.
00:08:06.640 None of it.
00:08:07.800 You heard none of it.
00:08:09.160 And we, by the way, I can't believe you're selling merch.
00:08:11.200 I can't believe you're doing this.
00:08:12.420 That's our way of saying, if you support what we do, it's our way of saying we don't want sponsorship money because we want to be able to talk openly.
00:08:18.600 Does this mean eventually we'll do some sponsorship with some companies?
00:08:21.680 Yes.
00:08:22.120 But it's going to be stuff that we want.
00:08:24.220 It's going to be stuff that we like.
00:08:25.360 Stefano Ricci, we believe in the brand.
00:08:27.220 I've been buying it for many years.
00:08:28.740 I'm at their house having dinner with their family.
00:08:30.740 I spend the night.
00:08:31.620 We have a relationship.
00:08:32.620 We're there in Italy.
00:08:33.500 There's something going on.
00:08:34.260 There is a relationship.
00:08:35.680 Because to me, it has to be a relationship that you're talking on something that you're using.
00:08:40.300 But we're living in a time that propaganda is just, I'm getting the messages that I get.
00:08:46.260 You know, if I say something about Israeli people, you know what they'll say? 1.00
00:08:50.240 They'll send me, watch this.
00:08:51.920 Do this.
00:08:52.740 Watch that.
00:08:53.500 Watch this.
00:08:54.660 You know, you're this.
00:08:55.380 And they'll say stuff like, oh, this is MLM.
00:08:58.160 Insurance, MLM.
00:08:59.220 That's what they'll say.
00:09:00.420 But do you know if I say anything about Iran and Islam and Muslim, what do I get? 0.93
00:09:05.520 Death threats.
00:09:06.060 Do you know how many death threats I got about my family and my kids in the last week?
00:09:11.520 That's the difference in the character.
00:09:14.780 That's the difference in their character on how it is.
00:09:18.160 And I'm, by the way, you ain't never going to win me over there.
00:09:21.700 Because I watch behavior.
00:09:24.340 Your behavior is death threats.
00:09:26.580 Tells you what you're all about.
00:09:28.180 The other behavior is you want to hurt my business.
00:09:31.160 Both of them are hurting. 1.00
00:09:32.560 But one's to kill you. 1.00
00:09:34.240 The other one's to kill your business. 1.00
00:09:36.240 I have a problem with both.
00:09:37.700 But guess what?
00:09:40.000 There's a very obvious window and a line there.
00:09:44.400 And by the way, again, I understand a lot of people, oh, God, you know, he's such a this, he's such a that, he's such a this.
00:09:49.460 Nope.
00:09:49.900 I don't fear any man.
00:09:51.300 I don't care if you're Scientology, Christian, Muslim, Islam, seven day, I'll talk to anybody and I'll break bread with you and I'll enjoy it. 0.97
00:09:59.560 No matter what time of the day it is.
00:10:01.300 We don't, we have God on our side.
00:10:03.720 Every day when we're walking, I don't let fear get a hold of me.
00:10:07.340 The man upstairs made such major miracles happen in the world since day one.
00:10:11.480 I rely on that.
00:10:12.520 That's where my confidence comes from.
00:10:13.920 So all those messages doesn't do anything to me.
00:10:16.400 But we're at a point right now that we have to, all of us ask ourselves, what propaganda has gotten a hold of you?
00:10:24.140 Which one?
00:10:25.000 Which one got a hold of you?
00:10:26.660 And none of us want to tell the truth.
00:10:28.060 Yeah.
00:10:28.560 But it's getting a hold of all of us.
00:10:30.300 And we have to kind of step back and say, whoa, mom and dad get a divorce. 0.57
00:10:35.820 Each family side is selling me propaganda.
00:10:37.600 You know, your dad is really this right.
00:10:38.820 You know, your mom is really this right.
00:10:40.200 I'm like, look, we're going to find that in 20 years who's right.
00:10:42.420 20 years later, we found out who was right.
00:10:43.700 My dad's family did a lot when my parents got divorced when I was six.
00:10:47.280 So, Padgett, just really, really fast.
00:10:48.480 I know you want to move on to another story.
00:10:49.640 So what would be the best case scenario? 0.99
00:10:52.580 Meaning we go in with Israel, we attack, we kill the leadership. 0.96
00:10:56.620 How would we, I'm genuinely curious, how would it look? 0.99
00:11:01.940 Because if you take them all out, then what happens?
00:11:03.980 Does somebody else take Khomeini's?
00:11:05.420 Now you're talking, Vinny.
00:11:06.540 Yeah, there we go.
00:11:07.080 And that's my concern.
00:11:08.020 Yeah.
00:11:08.580 That's my concern.
00:11:08.940 That's the problem.
00:11:09.540 That he gets replaced with another one like him.
00:11:11.160 No, we don't have somebody right now.
00:11:12.720 Yeah.
00:11:12.920 Reza Pallavi, nice man.
00:11:15.420 The prince.
00:11:16.460 Now, we've had him on two times.
00:11:17.560 Yep.
00:11:17.840 He told me straight up, he doesn't want to go back.
00:11:19.480 He doesn't.
00:11:19.660 And now you want to go back?
00:11:20.640 What do you want to do?
00:11:21.460 Yeah.
00:11:22.120 So I don't think he's going to go back.
00:11:24.660 Do I think he can play a role like a, what do you call it, a advisor, something like that?
00:11:30.720 Yes.
00:11:31.480 But somebody needs to be vocal.
00:11:32.840 I got the weirdest call Saturday morning.
00:11:35.020 Weirdest call Saturday morning.
00:11:36.020 It's so funny.
00:11:36.380 Like, all this stuff is going on.
00:11:37.760 On Father's Day, my dad gives me the weirdest gift.
00:11:40.300 What is that?
00:11:40.620 One of my dad's biggest fear was when we came here,
00:11:42.580 what was going to happen to my mother.
00:11:43.920 My mother was going to take me back to Iran.
00:11:46.560 Do you know on Father's Day, my dad gives me my Iranian passport?
00:11:49.480 What?
00:11:50.600 He had that?
00:11:51.820 He gifts me my Iranian passport.
00:11:54.220 Wow.
00:11:54.780 Yeah.
00:11:55.180 From 1986.
00:11:56.300 This is me.
00:11:57.080 Wow.
00:11:59.640 Crazy, right?
00:12:00.160 That's crazy.
00:12:00.760 That's crazy.
00:12:00.900 Did you know he had it?
00:12:01.820 Yeah.
00:12:02.580 No, I had no son of a guy.
00:12:03.440 Oh, that's crazy.
00:12:03.700 He never told me this.
00:12:04.780 Wow.
00:12:05.180 And he somehow got a hold of this passport just so I could never go back to Iran.
00:12:09.500 Because I needed this.
00:12:10.680 Wow.
00:12:10.920 To go back to Iran. 0.98
00:12:11.860 He got this just so I couldn't go to Iran.
00:12:13.620 And I joined the army.
00:12:14.440 He wanted me to get the hell out of L.A.
00:12:16.660 Wow.
00:12:17.080 Gabriel.
00:12:17.380 Crazy, right?
00:12:18.300 When you hear these stories.
00:12:19.620 But to me, my concern there is, Vinny, there isn't anybody we can get behind. 0.99
00:12:24.560 Like at least in America when shit hit the fan, Trump. 0.99
00:12:26.560 Okay, great. 1.00
00:12:27.400 There's somebody.
00:12:28.320 Yep.
00:12:28.500 Okay, great.
00:12:29.640 You know, there's Millet.
00:12:30.700 Yeah.
00:12:30.920 Okay, great.
00:12:31.440 There's Buckelli.
00:12:31.880 There's an alternative.
00:12:32.680 There's an alternative right now.
00:12:33.580 Who is it? 0.98
00:12:34.280 Sucks. 0.99
00:12:34.800 This is a sweet man right here. 0.99
00:12:36.600 Yep.
00:12:37.640 Is he a strong enough man to go up against them?
00:12:40.800 I don't know.
00:12:42.020 I don't know.
00:12:42.700 Because the job of the person to be able to do that is going to take brass.
00:12:47.440 You have to understand games.
00:12:49.200 Deception.
00:12:49.760 Wars.
00:12:50.340 You have to understand all of that stuff.
00:12:52.300 And you still got to want to do it.
00:12:54.800 It's a big job.
00:12:55.600 It's not a small job.
00:12:56.880 So I want to give you the last word and then we'll go to the next story.
00:12:59.580 Yeah, I don't understand.
00:13:00.580 And you would know better than me.
00:13:01.480 I don't understand why people are saying, well, who's going to?
00:13:03.960 If we do regime change, who's going to be next?
00:13:06.340 If we do regime change, who's going to be next?
00:13:08.280 Why don't we worry about that when we change the regime?
00:13:11.140 Because I'm very convinced of one thing.
00:13:12.800 It's not how it works.
00:13:13.220 It's not how that works, Adam.
00:13:14.320 Hold on.
00:13:15.180 Let me tell you how it does work.
00:13:16.560 Look, because you saw what happened in Syria.
00:13:19.560 They took down Assad.
00:13:20.760 Now you have an ex-ISIS leader running the country.
00:13:23.540 He's dressed up in a suit. 0.99
00:13:24.880 They put lipstick on a pig. 0.97
00:13:25.960 We'll put him there. 0.89
00:13:26.240 Meeting with Trump, meeting with MBS, he's doing a pretty good job, apparently.
00:13:31.640 Now when you do regime change, I'm pretty sure we changed Hitler to a democratic leader. 0.92
00:13:36.020 That worked out okay.
00:13:37.260 I'm pretty sure that we changed Imperial Japan into a democratic leader.
00:13:41.260 That worked out okay.
00:13:42.400 So I know we don't know who the next leader of Iran will be.
00:13:45.320 But here's what I can freaking guarantee you.
00:13:47.780 Can't be worse than what MBS called the Ayatollah Hitler.
00:13:52.040 I hear you.
00:13:52.960 I got you.
00:13:53.860 I know what you're saying.
00:13:54.960 Do you think there's anybody who works in the Ayatollah?
00:13:56.720 That's not how this works.
00:13:56.940 I'm not telling you.
00:13:57.560 You're talking to the wrong guy here, bro.
00:13:59.320 So which one is it?
00:14:00.200 No, but you need somebody to rally behind.
00:14:02.460 That's it.
00:14:02.940 Okay. 0.98
00:14:03.100 You need somebody to give the freaking rally cry. 0.99
00:14:05.740 You would know better than me. 0.99
00:14:06.880 The rally cry is freedom.
00:14:08.540 No, it is.
00:14:09.560 No, no.
00:14:09.860 You're right.
00:14:10.980 It is.
00:14:11.820 But someone needs to sell that.
00:14:13.820 Okay.
00:14:14.160 Well, you're telling me there's not one Iranian person that they respect and they can lead them? 1.00
00:14:17.860 Let me ask you a question.
00:14:18.180 Is that what we're saying here?
00:14:19.020 Let me ask you a question.
00:14:19.980 When Argentina was going through the mess of being a freaking socialistic country and
00:14:23.760 at one point being known as what?
00:14:25.240 The Paris of whatever.
00:14:26.260 Buenos Aires was known as a Paris of what did it call it?
00:14:28.520 South America.
00:14:28.660 South America, right?
00:14:29.960 What happened?
00:14:30.400 What caused us to be interested in Argentina?
00:14:32.980 What?
00:14:33.180 Eva Perón singing Cry Me a River?
00:14:34.540 No, it's called Afuera.
00:14:36.200 Afuera.
00:14:36.920 Afuera.
00:14:37.380 Oh, that was 75 years later.
00:14:39.680 Bukele. 0.99
00:14:40.080 But the point is, you need a vocal leader.
00:14:44.200 You need somebody that's selling it, that's going out there campaigning, sitting in front
00:14:48.160 of media, telling what's going on.
00:14:49.720 Who is that person?
00:14:50.840 How do we not know that person in Iran right now?
00:14:52.980 Well, because they can't speak up in Iran because they'd be probably hung with the news.
00:14:56.320 Musk just gave them Starlink.
00:14:57.880 Okay.
00:14:58.160 But that's not even a point.
00:14:59.500 It's not even a point.
00:15:00.480 Even with that, somebody...
00:15:01.780 You tell me.
00:15:02.180 Who's the leader?
00:15:03.300 That's the...
00:15:03.800 If I don't know, that's the problem.
00:15:05.680 But they don't know.
00:15:06.460 That's a you problem, not a me problem. 1.00
00:15:08.360 No, Adam, you just kill him. 0.93
00:15:09.240 No, no, I get what you're saying. 0.67
00:15:10.060 Are you trying to tell me that...
00:15:11.060 No, that's not what I'm saying to you.
00:15:11.980 I've met so many Persian leaders, entrepreneurs, smart people.
00:15:15.400 Oh, yeah, they're going to take over Iran, Adam? 0.62
00:15:17.520 They're not going to be the ones that lead the country.
00:15:19.500 Excuse me for a second.
00:15:20.860 You would know better than me.
00:15:21.700 Where did the Ayatollah...
00:15:22.580 Where was he living when he was implanted in 1970?
00:15:25.220 And thank you.
00:15:25.660 Was he not in Paris?
00:15:26.400 I thank you for saying that.
00:15:27.780 Did they not bring him in?
00:15:28.580 I appreciate you for saying that.
00:15:30.580 I'm so glad you said that.
00:15:32.400 I'm so glad you said that.
00:15:33.900 You know what happened in the streets of Iran?
00:15:36.220 Do you know in the streets of Iran,
00:15:37.580 he would send cassette tapes in?
00:15:40.200 And the guy that I had on the podcast
00:15:41.640 that was the founder of IRGC with Khomeini,
00:15:44.680 he was the one that would record the tape.
00:15:46.600 He's the first voice in the cassette tapes.
00:15:48.600 The guy that was sitting here.
00:15:50.300 He's introducing Khomeini, edifying Khomeini.
00:15:53.200 The tapes would come to Iran,
00:15:54.840 and you know what people were doing all day,
00:15:56.800 every day for months at a time?
00:15:58.380 Because back in the days, it would take a while to do.
00:16:00.440 They're recording tapes and say, pass it out.
00:16:02.680 They're recording tapes, pass it out.
00:16:04.160 Recording tapes, pass it out.
00:16:05.880 Millions, you know how long it takes to dub tapes back in the days?
00:16:09.000 Because it was only two.
00:16:10.360 Boom, 45 minutes, go.
00:16:11.880 Boom.
00:16:12.320 So you have hundreds of those machines in a place,
00:16:14.820 and they're just going like this, go.
00:16:16.180 Going like this, go.
00:16:17.020 How long does that take?
00:16:18.340 How long does that take?
00:16:19.380 Years.
00:16:19.620 And every time he would give the speech, boom.
00:16:21.820 Propaganda.
00:16:22.180 But there was a vocal leader who was in France
00:16:25.200 that was screaming and saying, 0.97
00:16:27.260 the Shah is taking all your money.
00:16:28.760 If I come back to Iran, I'll give you free rice.
00:16:31.240 I'll give you free electricity.
00:16:32.340 I'll give you free home. 1.00
00:16:33.240 He was full of shit. 1.00
00:16:34.780 But he said all that stuff because he was a vocal leader. 1.00
00:16:37.420 The Iranian people are like sitting there saying, 1.00
00:16:38.960 watching all these people become rich in Iran.
00:16:40.680 They're like, yeah, maybe that's going to happen.
00:16:41.920 That guy right there, Mohsen Sozeh.
00:16:46.140 Got it off.
00:16:46.580 He was the voice of that tape.
00:16:48.620 So, yes, you're right.
00:16:49.720 There needs to be a voice.
00:16:51.560 By the way, you know how quick that person can rise?
00:16:55.400 Like this.
00:16:56.860 That person can rise very quickly.
00:16:59.000 But the way that person needs to do it,
00:17:00.260 guess where that person needs to go?
00:17:01.660 He needs to go sit in front of 200 meetings like this,
00:17:04.600 in front of camera.
00:17:06.360 You just heard MBS.
00:17:07.660 He said what?
00:17:08.220 He gave his position.
00:17:09.060 Here's how he feels about Iran. 0.99
00:17:10.160 Oh, shit, I didn't know he was going to be that strong about it. 0.99
00:17:12.060 He called, I told Hitler. 1.00
00:17:13.620 Hitler. 0.57
00:17:14.360 That's MBS saying this.
00:17:15.600 And guess what?
00:17:16.020 Who's doing that?
00:17:16.580 Do you believe him or not?
00:17:17.280 Someone from Iran needs to be doing that. 1.00
00:17:19.180 They don't have that leader.
00:17:20.520 Can I make a friendly suggestion?
00:17:21.520 Sure, of course.
00:17:22.100 And come at me. 1.00
00:17:23.440 Either Reza Pali V is the guy,
00:17:27.260 or move the flip on and nominate someone else.
00:17:31.160 Because if you're trying to rally around a leader,
00:17:32.960 either you're the guy or you're not the guy.
00:17:35.300 A lot of people agree with you.
00:17:36.040 You're the guy or you're not the guy.
00:17:37.420 A lot of people agree with you.
00:17:38.060 Because the Ayatollah, when he came in in 1979,
00:17:40.520 he said, I'm the guy.
00:17:41.700 And everyone said, okay, let's rally around this guy.
00:17:43.480 Either the Shah's son needs to step the flip up and be the guy, 0.99
00:17:48.640 or go nominate someone else and rally around him.
00:17:51.880 Well, guess what?
00:17:52.500 Enough's enough.
00:17:53.420 Because you don't want to have Israel be the person that puts your next leader in charge. 0.96
00:17:57.720 Pick your leader, and Israel, do your dirty work. 0.93
00:18:00.300 Let's go to the next story.
00:18:01.480 Let's go to the next story.
00:18:02.500 Because guess what?
00:18:03.340 We tried for an hour, folks.
00:18:04.520 I know we disappointed you.
00:18:05.420 We were not able to solve the world.
00:18:06.460 I think we were.
00:18:07.460 I think we were.
00:18:08.120 I thought we almost had it.
00:18:09.820 I think we're a little bit closer.
00:18:11.900 We failed again.
00:18:12.620 Maybe one of these days we'll figure this stuff out.
00:18:14.320 But who knows?
00:18:14.800 Till then, we're going to keep talking freely and see in what direction we can go with this.
00:18:19.180 All right.
00:18:19.400 Can't talk freely in Iran. 0.97
00:18:20.560 I know that.
00:18:23.060 Can you run a poll, Rob?
00:18:24.620 Run a poll.
00:18:25.260 Say, how many of you guys would like to see us do a case study of sending Adam to Iran for a week?
00:18:30.600 And you know, maybe he goes as a street team.
00:18:32.500 Can I guess that?
00:18:32.520 95% are going to say yeah.
00:18:35.020 It's just a poll.
00:18:36.240 I mean, if they're polled.
00:18:37.900 Why don't we send Vinny, who is Iranian? 1.00
00:18:40.420 No, I'm a Syrian.
00:18:42.160 I'm a Syrian.
00:18:42.820 Would you like to see Adam go to Iran?
00:18:45.660 And I don't know if you ran the poll yet or not, Rob.
00:18:47.620 It's running right now.
00:18:49.160 He'll need a disguise.
00:18:50.080 Let me tell you.
00:18:51.020 With the Supreme Leader, a.k.a. Adolf Hitler, who's running in Iran? 0.55
00:18:54.520 I have no interest.
00:18:55.640 I'm going to go to the next story.
00:18:56.820 Let's send Ricky back out of Mexico.
00:18:58.100 For those of you guys that love business and you're super competitive, and I'm talking like a psycho competitor,
00:19:03.760 you're somebody that wants to win at the highest level.
00:19:05.480 And you know how challenging business is, that if you don't get your act right, somebody else is going to take your business away from you.
00:19:11.040 This is when we're hosting our annual conference that's coming up here in September called the Vault Conference.
00:19:15.240 We're expecting 12,000 people there.
00:19:16.660 But one of the most exciting pieces of merch that guys wear who run.
00:19:21.580 You have to be bold to do this.
00:19:22.920 Not for everybody.
00:19:23.560 If you're a nice person, if you're sweet, if you're somebody that's always worried about what other people think, you walk on XOs, this merch isn't for you.
00:19:30.840 But if you're somebody that's tough, strong, you understand how hard business is, you understand that the real game of capitalism is super competitive,
00:19:38.020 our official line of business is war is back with some items here.
00:19:43.180 Hats, straight up, business is war.
00:19:45.460 You can get this one or the black one with white silver that says business is war.
00:19:49.520 On the bottom, it says future looks bright.
00:19:51.500 Rob, if you want to play the clip of this new merch that just got launched, go ahead, Rob.
00:20:03.960 This couldn't be more accurate than what it is today.
00:20:09.020 Oh, yeah.
00:20:09.840 Right?
00:20:10.220 Because it literally is today.
00:20:12.640 The market is changing.
00:20:14.360 And those who realize there is war for market share, there's war for a lot of different things.
00:20:19.200 So here's what we're doing.
00:20:20.000 Any order, anybody that places an order right now, go back, Rob, to the last picture that you had.
