Transcript
00:00:00.000
Israel, U.S. intelligence officials, this is from New York Post, cited by CNN, report Israel is preparing a possible strike on Iran's nuclear facility with a source stating the chance of an Israel strike on an Iranian nuclear facility has gone up significantly in recent months and a prospect of a Trump-negotiated U.S.-Iran deal that doesn't remove all of Iran's uranium makes the chances of a strike more likely.
00:00:23.460
Three intercepted messages in Israel military movements, including air munitions and exercises, indicate an imminent attack despite President Trump's diplomatic efforts.
00:00:33.700
Israel feels caught between a rock and a hard place due to the stated, stalled U.S.-Iran talks with former intelligence officer Jennifer Panikov noting,
00:00:42.200
at the end of the day, the Israeli decision-making is going to be predicated on U.S. policy determinations and actions and what agreement President Trump does or does not come to with Iran.
00:00:55.620
Okay, well, listen, Trump is trying to work out a deal to keep things from spiraling, all right?
00:01:03.020
That's the angle, the anti-war angle and trying to avoid another pointless war, okay?
00:01:09.560
And Israel is moving like they don't give a damn, and I get it.
00:01:16.720
But, like, diplomacy is just a stall tactic, and what they really want is strikes, okay?
00:01:27.280
You guys remember last week when I reported about Mike Waltz using the Israeli signal chat?
00:01:34.020
He was in contact with Israeli officials that they were discussing national policy, Iran being on the forefront,
00:01:39.320
and he was trying to quietly help persuade to pull us into conflict that we're watching unfold in front of our eyes, okay?
00:01:46.520
But even with them gone, Israel's acting, they're still going to move without us.
00:01:50.980
The reports are coming out that Bibi and Trump, they're not really cool.
00:01:55.760
But, listen, this, Iran strikes, it's going to lead to a freaking war.
00:02:04.220
I don't want any American troops or any other war.
00:02:09.320
But Bibi, if Bibi wants it, Bibi's going to get it.
00:02:15.560
Don't be dragging us into that shit because we know that's what's going to come out.
00:02:18.860
And I don't care about any other country except America.
00:02:22.000
And I want zero, zero American troops to be in harm's way because of a guy that's been begging for a war.
00:02:29.680
Yes, they're bad, and there's other ways to take care of Iran.
00:02:33.000
But bombing and starting another war, I'm not a fan of it at all.
00:02:38.180
Well, listen, Trump and Bibi Netanyahu, I think they're on the same page.
00:02:45.520
They have aligned interests, but they don't have the exact same interests.
00:02:48.900
So you're going to disagree with an ally of yours.
00:02:52.880
You're not going to agree on everything because there's two totally different things going on here.
00:02:57.020
Trump, at his fiber of his being, he's a dealmaker.
00:03:02.140
He wants to show, yeah, that deal that Obama did was a bad deal.
00:03:08.980
Bibi Netanyahu, he's worried about his existence.
00:03:18.140
Iran is an existential threat to not only Israel, to the rest of the world, to the rest of the region.
00:03:26.520
Why do you think UAE is so keen to do a deal here?
00:03:29.400
Because they know that the threat to the Western civilization or to the modernization of the world is the Islamic regime in Iran.
00:03:35.900
So Trump's concern is not as extreme as Bibi Netanyahu's.
00:03:44.020
Would Netanyahu like to see some function of a deal?
00:03:48.620
But if a deal isn't done, in my opinion, there's one thing that the Israeli government, whether it's left, right, center, is not going to allow happen,
00:03:59.120
and that is the Islamic Republic of Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
00:04:02.500
We all know that they have allegedly taken out some of the scientists, the nuclear scientists.
00:04:12.060
They all know that they have taken down some of their defense missile capabilities.
00:04:17.760
So the next logical step is if someone's an existential threat, when someone tells you who they are, believe them,
00:04:24.040
death to America, death to Israel, there's a clock.
00:04:27.740
There's a clock in Iran, and it's the Israel death clock.
00:04:31.160
So you're not—this is what I was talking about earlier—you're not dealing with logical actors.
00:04:41.480
And if that's what you believe, you're willing to take out everybody around you to accomplish that goal.
00:04:52.980
Well, ironically, it ran out of power right there.
00:04:58.840
And, yeah, they might be coming for Israel, but they're also coming for the Western world.
00:05:05.040
And do you see these stories, by the way, shifting gears, about people just out there saying they're Islamifying churches now?
00:05:15.800
Because, in my opinion, you'd correct me if I'm wrong, first they come for the Saturday people, the Jews, and then they're coming for the Sunday people, buddy.
00:05:25.900
So you might be thinking, well, look, you know, just let them deal with the Jews.
00:05:30.880
You think they're stopping there, my Christian friends, my Catholic friends?
00:05:37.340
And then they're going to recruit dumb Americans.
00:05:44.460
We bought three churches so far, converted them to masjids.
00:05:50.760
And now we have one we are buying with a school to make it because we have to serve the same people.
00:05:58.700
The people who were part of that community, one day they will be Muslims.
00:06:03.580
So we'll make it into a masjid and an Islamic school for our children and their children, inshallah.
00:06:12.500
A hundred years ago, they invaded the Muslim world and they built missionary schools and destroyed Islamic schools and masjids.
00:06:23.100
Today, we bring the favor back, turn their churches into masjids and their schools into Islamic schools.
00:06:35.260
We're able to buy ready to go institutions that have been there for a long time, but they emptied out.
00:06:43.220
And now it is time to be filled with Muslims, with reverts, converts.
00:06:51.600
But we're not going to be happy with either candidate.
00:06:54.280
We have to be happy when Islam becomes the best candidate for us.
00:07:01.640
I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give Islam the victory in this country.
00:07:08.160
Tom, your thoughts on what's going on with Israel, Iran, Israel attacking Iran.
00:07:16.800
Look, the fact that it's in a headline doesn't mean that it's not happening if there's no headline.
00:07:22.160
The U.S. and Israel strategically work to neutralize assets all the time.
00:07:31.640
And it just happened that Soleimani and a motorcade around the back of an airport was a high-visibility target, and that missile made a loud sound.
00:07:42.480
But there are underlings and people that are getting neutralized all the time, you see, just a – and so I do not believe for a minute that the U.S. and the U.K., by the way, even though the U.K. is teetering because of its government, they are still supporting the neutralization of the nuclear capability.
00:08:08.600
And, you know, if the rumor is that Israel is going to do it, Israel may do it, but the dog don't go off the leash unless we unclip it.
00:08:19.980
You know, so Israel is not going to be acting alone on there because to take out centrifuges and capabilities, that's in everybody's interest, and we're right there with them.
00:08:30.320
And so do I think that there's – where there's smoke, there's fire, that there's something cooking here?
00:08:36.760
If our intelligence tells us that they are really close on the systems and everything where they can do that with the uranium, now you've got core.
00:08:48.460
It's not terribly hard to build the bomb around it, and then you just – you deploy the bomb, which is why Japan's been getting so nervous for the past 15 years
00:08:56.780
with North Korea keeps building slightly better and slightly better and slightly better, you know, missiles that they casually launch into the water.
00:09:05.900
And South Korea is even more concerned than Japan.
00:09:08.180
And South Korea is like – that thing just flew by us, and everybody's concerned about it.
00:09:15.800
Trump went over there and talked to the kid, right, in North Korea.
00:09:29.720
I think that you have to neutralize what's going on there in terms of nuclear capability.
00:09:36.480
What if Israel says, we're going to do it anyways?
00:09:39.800
Without Trump's approval and after a week after they were trying to go behind his back to push him to go and fight with Iran.
00:09:57.060
What if Israel's like, dude, we're going to attack?
00:10:00.980
There's – half of our government will be very happy about that.
00:10:05.620
And the other half of our government will be, you know, gritting its teeth and hoping that it's a surgical destruction of it and everybody else stands down.
00:10:20.140
This is a senior Hamas official basically saying that they're – this is why they advocate for the war because they play down the significance of the casualties in Gaza.
00:10:30.460
He says, you know, there's been – our women's wombs will produce many more babies.
00:10:34.320
50,000 people were born in Gaza during the war just like the number of casualties.
00:10:39.220
Thanks to the war, Westerners convert to Islam.
00:10:43.280
U.S. students support Palestine liberation from the river to the sea.
00:10:47.900
So back to the initial question about the Iran.
00:10:51.380
I don't think we fully understand in America there's a big difference between the Midwest and the Middle East.
00:10:57.860
In the Middle East, unfortunately, the reality of life there, in many cases, it's kill or be killed.
00:11:05.500
It's a totally different world of what's going on in the Middle East.
00:11:12.860
I never saw any protests on any college campuses when hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people were dead in Syria, in Yemen, in Sudan to this day.
00:11:26.900
But when Israel gets attacked and they try to basically eliminate Hamas, it's a genocide.
00:11:33.140
And the smartest people at the nicest college campuses on the world have been fooled.
00:11:38.780
So as far as your exact question about why would Israel listen, I think they will listen, listen, listen, listen, up to the point where they're like, we can't listen anymore because they're a week away from a bomb.
00:11:55.600
Do you think Israel has a nuke right now, today?
00:12:04.500
So if, of course, they have it, if they're so interested in doing genocide, why don't they do it?
00:12:10.760
Because if Israel launch a nuclear weapon at anybody.
00:12:33.940
They could do this, but they have no interest in this.
00:12:36.620
Well, they know that it would be good if Israel nukes.
00:12:41.640
But when you say everyone has nukes, no, nobody in the Middle East has nukes.
00:12:51.340
But if Israel was interested in using it, if they had nukes, they would do it.
00:12:55.540
What's the whole conversation about, you know, if Israel puts their guns down, if the militants put their guns down, there'll be peace.
00:13:03.480
If Israel puts their weapons down, there'll be a slaughter.
00:13:06.820
You know the conversation that Joe Rogan had with Tim Kennedy?
00:13:14.420
If you think, I'm Israel, you're the Palestinians in Gaza, if everyone, every one of the people in Gaza laid down the arms and stopped attacking, what would I, Israel, do to you?
00:13:46.200
Israel has never, not one time in history, initiated any conflict.
00:13:52.580
Every single one of those things that you're pointing to is a retaliatory attack by a terrorist organization.
00:14:06.000
You're saying if Israel has nuclear warheads, I think both Israel and Iran have them.
00:14:14.440
You want to know why I don't think they have them?
00:14:25.300
Because what country is constantly shouting, death to fill in the blanks?
00:14:38.120
I want to tighten it up and we've got to wrap it up because we've got to move on.
00:14:41.940
If you were going to get to a point, I'm going to just say my point on this thing here on what question I asked.
00:14:50.320
Okay, because at some point you either have individual autonomy as a country
00:14:56.140
This whole conversation of Israel controls America.
00:15:02.360
I thought that Andrew Schultz made a great point that if some country controls another country,
00:15:06.280
it'd be the country with the greatest GDP and the greatest military and the greatest economy in the world,
00:15:10.040
not a tiny little country in the Middle East that's controlling the other country.
00:15:13.000
It would seem that Israel is the bag man for the United States, not the other way around.
00:15:16.800
So if Israel, any country that has to listen to another country in order to survive, isn't a country at all.
00:15:26.200
Like, I will listen to you as my boss, as my CEO, as my mentor, but I'll live my life.
00:15:31.700
I think Israel has a huge influence on America.
00:15:35.880
The question is, do you think Israel controls Trump?
00:15:53.680
Who has more influence over America, China or Israel?
00:15:58.020
Think about the amount of money they're putting in schools, universities.
00:16:00.700
Who has more influence, the amount of land China's buying, the amount of people they're buying,
00:16:05.060
the amount of, who has more influence in U.S., China or Israel?
00:16:16.700
But China has to register as a foreign agent, don't they?
00:16:20.920
But to me, and the reason they did that is because they wanted people to go back to this.
00:16:25.280
Like, imagine right now we get close to Trump and President Trump allows Assyria to be a nation.
00:16:32.080
And the first thing they're going to do is they're going to reach out to all the famous Assyrians around the world.
00:16:35.460
And they say, Patrick, Vinny, why don't you guys come to Assyria, buy land, buy some home, do something here.
00:16:44.340
If the president allows you to have a passport to go and be a, what do they call it?
00:17:03.920
Let me tell you where I'm at, which my position is a little bit weird.
00:17:07.340
He goes to the Middle East, doesn't go meet with who?
00:17:22.080
If Trump publicly says, don't attack, and Israel attacks, there's a part of me that is okay with that.
00:17:39.980
So, now, if you go, you're on an island on your own.
00:17:49.840
Guys, how many times in school would they come up to you and they said, there's a fight after school.
00:17:53.700
And I'm like, bro, you hooked up with his sister.
00:18:03.100
And it's a different approach to defend your friends versus not defending your friends.
00:18:07.160
In a case like this, the guy is saying, don't start the fight.
00:18:14.740
And then if you want to start the fight, guess what?
00:18:22.800
But I want to publicly make sure Iran knows we don't want a war, right?
00:18:28.720
So if Bibi wants to own this thing here and be his thing, go ahead, Bibi.
00:18:32.540
But the world knows this is not the U.S. supporting your attack.
00:18:38.240
Your attack alone that you're making a decision of.
00:18:45.560
How much longer are you or the proud Persian Iranian people willing to just see the Islamic
00:18:57.080
Do you want to go your entire life never being able to go back to Iran?
00:19:02.800
Because when they're running that country and they have that mind frame, you're never going
00:19:15.220
I think it's two different parts of the same conversation.
00:19:18.440
So of whatever is going on with this regime at some point needs to stop.
00:19:22.380
Is there a different way of doing it instead of bombing them, which is going to turn into
00:19:34.060
We're going to have to, especially if it escalates to Israel just against Iran.
00:19:41.580
I don't, I'm not, I'm not supporting any U.S. troops being on the ground at all.
00:19:47.180
Under any other president, under Nikki Haley, 100%.
00:19:53.420
But the other part to say what he's saying, okay.
00:19:57.520
Sometimes there's a guy that everybody wants to take out, but you don't want to fight him
00:20:05.700
But if somebody wants to go fight him and take him out and you think you can do it, go at
00:20:12.200
If Israel thinks independently they can go do it, go ahead.
00:20:17.520
Because Israel always says, we don't ever ask him for help.
00:20:27.120
And every time they give the number that it's accrued and compounded, if it wasn't today's
00:20:33.240
We've given way more money to the war on, what was it, the $3 trillion we spent, the $8 trillion
00:20:38.360
we spent on Iraq, Afghanistan, the war on drugs, funding wars everywhere.
00:20:43.860
All that bullshit, the weapons of mass destruction, BS, this is not the weapons of mass destruction.
00:20:53.000
There's something about family, beautiful families, you know, people you love.
00:21:01.880
And somehow I woke up in my 36-year-old body, okay, just for one day.
00:21:12.660
So she's 85 years old, wakes up in 36-year-old body.
00:21:32.980
I used to check the clock, rush the morning, but not today.
00:22:17.320
My little son chatters all through breakfast, stories about superheroes, and questions about
00:22:24.340
This time I listen, really listen, no phone, no distractions, just him, all his beautiful,
00:22:32.960
In the car, he sings loudly, kicks the seat, spills a snack.
00:22:38.880
Now I smile and enjoy the moment because one day the seat will be empty and I'll miss the
00:22:47.180
In the evening, I pick up the phone and I hear my mom's voice.
00:22:55.920
We talked about nothing, the weather, what she is cooking, but it means everything.
00:23:08.320
He picks his favorite superhero book, the one I've read a hundred times.
00:23:23.240
I hold the small hand, kiss his soft cheek, whisper how proud I am.
00:23:27.980
His lashes flutter, his chest rises and falls, and I just watch soaking it in.
00:23:35.640
Tomorrow, I will be 85 again and he will be grown.
00:23:49.480
If you're living in the moment now, don't rush through it.
00:24:09.380
The fact that Tom isn't actually crying right now.
00:24:17.660
You guys sent me this video last night with, you know, this lady that hit the ice agent.
00:24:25.380
But if you play this here, I'm going to tell you how all this matches up together.
00:24:32.100
Are you afraid of what's going to transpire now?
00:25:02.160
And we have this aloe that you put, but it's old.
00:25:11.200
I'm going to sing it in Publix in front of everybody for you.
00:25:15.800
I am screaming this song off the top of my lungs.
00:25:21.720
You know how he pushes like to not do anything?
00:25:23.660
So, we had the most incredible 30-minute drive, going there, fooling around, bought some carrot juice, finally found the aloe.
00:25:34.760
The lady takes me and gives me coconuts and aloe.
00:25:44.060
He's showing me all this stuff from Stranger Times, Stranger Times, whatever.
00:25:50.580
And I'm like, dude, I really don't want to hear this stuff.
00:25:56.360
He's still talking about, Tico, you got to go to sleep.
00:26:07.940
I said, finish your story about Stranger Things.
00:26:15.060
And he says, will you watch it with me when we go for vacation and all this other stuff?
00:26:22.620
Like when you get some messages like this that inspire the hell out of you and just kind of,
00:26:41.360
And it's so weird because I had no intentions of showing this to you guys.
00:26:48.440
We're thinking about, we have the Valk Conference that's coming up.
00:26:52.680
The last year, we had 1,500 husband and wives that were there.
00:26:55.440
And one of the things the guys, the David Consultant, they say a lot of people ask about,
00:27:00.420
you know, how to balance this with family and the kids and all this other stuff.
00:27:05.620
Why don't we just do a free webinar on family, how to be a killer in business without killing
00:27:14.160
And I said, I'm going to talk about all the mistakes I've made.
00:27:16.560
And we're going to talk about how we balance all this stuff together.
00:27:18.400
So that picture they put together for some of you guys that think that's really me with
00:27:26.480
Rob, if you want to play the clip, go ahead and play the clip.
00:27:28.600
You know what's scary for some people is they want to be a killer in business.
00:27:31.100
They want to do a great job as an executive, as a CEO, entrepreneur, business owner, but
00:27:36.880
You want to go make all the money, travel, win for your family, but you want to stay married.
00:27:40.960
You want to have good relations with your kids.
00:27:42.380
You want your kids to still want to see how do you do this?
00:27:46.560
Number one, you're allowing your family and friends make you feel guilty for your vision,
00:27:51.080
which is going to create resentment towards them.
00:27:56.460
You don't really know what you're doing it for.
00:27:57.800
So work-life balance is a question that comes up for people that are not clear of what
00:28:02.380
They haven't had the conversation with their family.
00:28:04.480
Number three is the concept of being intentional with the time you're spending with your family.
00:28:08.640
And number four is maybe you're just looking for an excuse to not work that hard because
00:28:15.740
This concept of work-life balance comes up every single day with people who ask me this

On June 11th, I'm hosting a free webinar for one hour to talk about work-life balance with
00:28:26.800
the people that don't have the answer to the questions there, just like I didn't have
00:28:30.780
I'm married now with four kids, running all these businesses.
00:28:36.280
All I'm going to do is share with you mistakes I've made and things that are working for me.
00:28:45.960
We're going to go through it for one hour, again, on June 11th.
00:28:49.080
Register because it's limited seating on this webinar.
00:28:56.580
By the way, I may have my wife and one of my kids maybe join me as well.
00:28:59.740
Rob, what is the website for them to go register for this free webinar?
00:29:05.900
We have limited to 3,000 seats, so just make sure you go get registered.
00:29:13.020
I've done a lot of webinars, but we've never done a webinar on this.
00:29:16.400
This has been coming up a lot the last six to 12 months.
00:29:18.240
In my opinion, based on the conversations I have with everyone out there, this actually
00:29:22.120
might be the most important webinar you've ever done.
00:29:26.500
I'm in the process of learning this stuff, but I can't wait to have this one with you
