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.
00:00:51.760 Adam.
00:00:52.680 Vinny, you go first.
00:00:53.600 Go ahead.
00:00:54.380 Let me just, I'm sending Rob something.
00:00:55.620 Okay, well, listen, Trump is trying to work out a deal to keep things from spiraling, all right?
00:01:01.400 He's working on diplomacy.
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. 1.00
00:01:13.780 Iran is bad. 1.00
00:01:15.220 Let's put that to the side.
00:01:16.720 But, like, diplomacy is just a stall tactic, and what they really want is strikes, okay?
00:01:21.940 Bibi's, it's not like he's hiding it.
00:01:24.200 He wants us and them to go to war with Iran.
00:01:27.280 You guys remember last week when I reported about Mike Waltz using the Israeli signal chat?
00:01:32.000 What was he doing?
00:01:32.940 He wasn't messing around.
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. 0.95
00:01:50.980 The reports are coming out that Bibi and Trump, they're not really cool.
00:01:54.640 They're not really on talking terms.
00:01:55.760 But, listen, this, Iran strikes, it's going to lead to a freaking war. 0.97
00:02:01.460 Israel's our allies.
00:02:02.480 We're going to get dragged into this shit.
00:02:04.220 I don't want any American troops or any other war.
00:02:07.080 Trump is trying to avoid it at all costs.
00:02:09.320 But Bibi, if Bibi wants it, Bibi's going to get it. 0.99
00:02:12.340 If he wants to do it, good luck.
00:02:14.280 Go do your thing, okay?
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. 1.00
00:02:33.000 But bombing and starting another war, I'm not a fan of it at all.
00:02:36.480 Period.
00:02:37.400 Adam.
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.
00:03:00.520 He wants to make a deal.
00:03:02.140 He wants to show, yeah, that deal that Obama did was a bad deal.
00:03:06.080 I want to put together a good deal.
00:03:07.600 Trump wants to win.
00:03:08.980 Bibi Netanyahu, he's worried about his existence.
00:03:13.500 You've heard the term existential threat.
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. 1.00
00:03:23.800 Why do you think to Saudi Arabia?
00:03:25.180 Why do you think even Qatar?
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. 1.00
00:03:35.900 So Trump's concern is not as extreme as Bibi Netanyahu's.
00:03:41.160 So would Trump like to see a deal?
00:03:43.100 Hell yeah.
00:03:44.020 Would Netanyahu like to see some function of a deal?
00:03:47.900 Hell yeah.
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.
00:04:09.440 They go missing.
00:04:10.720 They take these people out.
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. 0.99
00:04:26.880 I don't know if you can find this.
00:04:27.740 There's a clock in Iran, and it's the Israel death clock. 0.82
00:04:31.160 So you're not—this is what I was talking about earlier—you're not dealing with logical actors.
00:04:37.020 They believe in jihad.
00:04:38.420 They believe in Sharia law.
00:04:39.740 They believe in the afterlife.
00:04:41.480 And if that's what you believe, you're willing to take out everybody around you to accomplish that goal.
00:04:47.980 Here's Iran's doomsday clock for Israel's end. 0.98
00:04:52.980 Well, ironically, it ran out of power right there.
00:04:56.180 But they're an existential threat.
00:04:58.840 And, yeah, they might be coming for Israel, but they're also coming for the Western world. 0.94
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. 0.99
00:05:24.900 That's you guys.
00:05:25.900 So you might be thinking, well, look, you know, just let them deal with the Jews. 1.00
00:05:29.800 That's no big deal.
00:05:30.880 You think they're stopping there, my Christian friends, my Catholic friends?
00:05:34.700 They're coming for you next.
00:05:35.820 And the useful idiots die last.
00:05:37.340 And then they're going to recruit dumb Americans. 0.99
00:05:40.780 Go ahead.
00:05:41.100 Who's this guy?
00:05:41.800 We are buying these churches.
00:05:44.460 We bought three churches so far, converted them to masjids. 1.00
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. 1.00
00:06:23.100 Today, we bring the favor back, turn their churches into masjids and their schools into Islamic schools. 1.00
00:06:32.540 Bring the light of Islam to here.
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. 1.00
00:06:49.620 This is an election year.
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. 1.00
00:07:08.160 Tom, your thoughts on what's going on with Israel, Iran, Israel attacking Iran.
00:07:13.420 Are you uncomfortable with it?
00:07:14.460 Where are you at with that?
00:07:16.440 No.
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. 0.53
00:08:17.420 And the U.S. is right there with 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.
00:09:13.640 And that's why – what did Trump do?
00:09:15.800 Trump went over there and talked to the kid, right, in North Korea.
00:09:21.520 Kim Jong-un?
00:09:22.640 Yeah.
00:09:23.360 The kid?
00:09:24.080 Yeah.
00:09:24.780 Because his dad was even more bonkers.
00:09:28.100 So what do I think?
00:09:29.720 I think that you have to neutralize what's going on there in terms of nuclear capability.
00:09:34.560 What if Israel doesn't listen? 0.62
00:09:36.480 What if Israel says, we're going to do it anyways? 0.94
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.
00:09:47.480 What if they don't listen?
00:09:48.220 Well, why would they have to listen?
00:09:52.040 What do you mean?
00:09:52.800 I want to hear this.
00:09:53.620 I'll tell you.
00:09:54.480 Hang on a second.
00:09:54.980 I actually agree.
00:09:56.280 But go ahead.
00:09:57.060 What if Israel's like, dude, we're going to attack? 0.97
00:10:00.980 There's – half of our government will be very happy about that.
00:10:04.980 More than half.
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.
00:10:17.540 Adam, thoughts?
00:10:18.500 Listen.
00:10:18.980 What is this, by the way, you put up here?
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.
00:10:46.840 Useful idiots.
00:10:47.900 So back to the initial question about the Iran.
00:10:50.380 Why would they listen?
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. 0.98
00:11:04.540 It's eat or be eaten.
00:11:05.500 It's a totally different world of what's going on in the Middle East.
00:11:11.800 It's so funny.
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.
00:11:24.160 Nothing.
00:11:24.640 Zero.
00:11:24.980 Zero protests.
00:11:26.260 Zero.
00:11:26.900 But when Israel gets attacked and they try to basically eliminate Hamas, it's a genocide. 0.69
00:11:31.500 We all know what's happening.
00:11:32.520 It's been fooled.
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.
00:11:51.780 And it's us or them.
00:11:54.080 By the way, here's a little fun question.
00:11:55.600 Do you think Israel has a nuke right now, today?
00:11:59.860 Of course.
00:12:00.360 Do you think they have one?
00:12:01.420 Of course I do.
00:12:01.940 Okay.
00:12:02.560 Of course I do.
00:12:03.660 Almost absolutely.
00:12:04.060 Okay.
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.
00:12:15.240 What do you mean?
00:12:16.120 Who's just going to?
00:12:17.160 Everybody has nukes.
00:12:18.280 Who's going to launch a nukes?
00:12:19.000 Not everybody has nukes.
00:12:20.100 The majority, the major, like us or China.
00:12:23.100 No, no.
00:12:23.400 If Israel, what are you trying to say? 0.65
00:12:24.800 You're saying if Israel nuked Iran.
00:12:26.960 Yeah.
00:12:27.320 Or nuked Gaza. 0.52
00:12:28.580 Okay.
00:12:29.420 Iran doesn't have a weapon.
00:12:31.080 Okay.
00:12:31.320 The Gazans have missiles.
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. 0.99
00:12:39.680 But nobody wants that.
00:12:41.640 But when you say everyone has nukes, no, nobody in the Middle East has nukes.
00:12:44.620 Only Pakistan. 0.90
00:12:46.020 And they're more concerned about India.
00:12:47.640 Believe that.
00:12:49.000 So when you say, well, everybody has it.
00:12:50.640 No, they don't.
00:12:51.340 But if Israel was interested in using it, if they had nukes, they would do it. 1.00
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?
00:13:09.320 Yeah.
00:13:09.640 Do you know that?
00:13:10.580 Have you ever seen this clip?
00:13:12.140 Can we play this?
00:13:13.420 I fully believe in this.
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?
00:13:34.880 Nothing.
00:13:40.060 They've tried it five different times.
00:13:43.800 They've literally, like, stopped attacking.
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.
00:13:58.100 What do you think?
00:13:58.760 Yeah, I agree with that.
00:14:03.220 Adam, where are you going right now?
00:14:05.360 You're saying what?
00:14:06.000 You're saying if Israel has nuclear warheads, I think both Israel and Iran have them. 0.55
00:14:12.240 I don't think Iran has them yet.
00:14:13.780 I think they have them.
00:14:14.440 You want to know why I don't think they have them?
00:14:15.940 Tell me.
00:14:16.400 Because they would use them.
00:14:18.300 Straight up.
00:14:18.780 Well, then it'd be the end of everybody.
00:14:19.880 No, I don't think so.
00:14:20.940 Does North Korea have nuclear weapons?
00:14:23.580 They do.
00:14:24.240 Okay, so how come they haven't used them?
00:14:25.300 Because what country is constantly shouting, death to fill in the blanks?
00:14:29.060 Two countries have said death to America.
00:14:30.700 It's North Korea and it's Iran. 0.99
00:14:33.460 But how come he hasn't used it yet?
00:14:34.740 Because North Korea...
00:14:35.960 But this is kind of where I'm going with this.
00:14:37.220 You said something.
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.
00:14:46.960 I said...
00:14:47.760 I said, why would they listen?
00:14:49.600 Why would they listen?
00:14:50.320 Okay, because at some point you either have individual autonomy as a country
00:14:54.980 or you don't.
00:14:56.140 This whole conversation of Israel controls America. 0.71
00:14:59.300 Really?
00:15:00.560 That seems completely far-fetched to me.
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. 0.59
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. 0.75
00:15:23.680 So I think that they will listen.
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.
00:15:35.000 No, I didn't say that.
00:15:35.880 The question is, do you think Israel controls Trump?
00:15:40.020 No.
00:15:40.740 Okay.
00:15:41.140 I don't think Israel controls Trump.
00:15:43.160 Do you think Israel controls America today? 0.79
00:15:45.940 I don't think it controls America.
00:15:47.300 No.
00:15:47.560 I think it has a major influence.
00:15:49.060 Sure.
00:15:49.420 But so does China. 0.71
00:15:50.440 So do a lot of different people.
00:15:52.440 I don't think anybody controls.
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?
00:16:09.100 What do you think?
00:16:11.020 If you're going to talk about trade-
00:16:12.160 But hang on.
00:16:12.580 I want to see what he's going to say.
00:16:13.760 I want to see what Vinny's going to say.
00:16:15.520 Hmm.
00:16:16.700 But China has to register as a foreign agent, don't they?
00:16:19.040 They have to.
00:16:19.660 Israel does it. 1.00
00:16:20.200 Sure.
00:16:20.600 Yeah.
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. 0.58
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.
00:16:41.040 What are we going to do?
00:16:42.480 What are you going to do?
00:16:44.340 If the president allows you to have a passport to go and be a, what do they call it? 0.93
00:16:50.400 Dual citizen.
00:16:50.900 Dual citizen.
00:16:51.760 Here in Assyria, would you take it?
00:16:53.660 To have dual citizens to go here? 1.00
00:16:54.800 For here in Assyria.
00:16:55.660 Assyria got a land back. 0.85
00:16:56.600 Would you take it?
00:16:57.400 Yeah.
00:16:57.840 Okay.
00:16:58.300 Of course.
00:16:58.720 But Shmimu Maru.
00:16:59.540 Yeah.
00:17:00.620 They're Jewish.
00:17:01.360 They're proud.
00:17:01.660 They're going to take it.
00:17:02.340 But this is the part where I'm going.
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?
00:17:10.300 Bibi Netanyahu.
00:17:11.000 Yeah.
00:17:11.960 And he meets with everybody else.
00:17:14.200 It's a one-hour flight.
00:17:15.080 Two-hour flight.
00:17:15.940 Doesn't meet with him.
00:17:16.720 Okay.
00:17:16.940 No problem.
00:17:18.440 And, well, it's not a big deal.
00:17:20.240 It wasn't their meeting.
00:17:21.040 And da-da-da-da-da.
00:17:21.660 No problem.
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. 0.99
00:17:34.380 Not likes that.
00:17:36.280 Is okay with that.
00:17:37.640 Because we didn't say attack.
00:17:39.980 So, now, if you go, you're on an island on your own.
00:17:43.400 Don't call me now.
00:17:44.560 That's not a fight I wanted to be a part of.
00:17:46.580 It's a fight that you chose to be a part of.
00:17:48.960 Make sense?
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.
00:17:52.660 Come with us.
00:17:53.180 Of course.
00:17:53.700 And I'm like, bro, you hooked up with his sister.
00:17:55.220 I'm not.
00:17:55.480 What are you doing?
00:17:56.260 Like, what are you doing?
00:17:57.940 You started this bullshit.
00:17:59.000 I'm not participating in this.
00:18:00.740 He's like, no, here's what happened.
00:18:01.660 Okay, let's go.
00:18:02.200 What's going to be happening, right?
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.
00:18:11.460 Then he says it publicly to everybody.
00:18:13.400 Don't start the fight.
00:18:14.740 And then if you want to start the fight, guess what?
00:18:17.340 Start the fight.
00:18:18.540 I'm just not there.
00:18:19.440 If you win or lose, it's your fight.
00:18:21.320 Don't get me involved.
00:18:22.800 But I want to publicly make sure Iran knows we don't want a war, right?
00:18:27.620 We don't want a war.
00:18:28.720 So if Bibi wants to own this thing here and be his thing, go ahead, Bibi. 0.98
00:18:32.540 But the world knows this is not the U.S. supporting your attack.
00:18:36.080 This is your attack.
00:18:38.240 Your attack alone that you're making a decision of.
00:18:41.780 Go ahead.
00:18:42.560 Do your thing.
00:18:43.160 Can I flip it on you?
00:18:44.080 Sure.
00:18:45.560 How much longer are you or the proud Persian Iranian people willing to just see the Islamic 1.00
00:18:54.160 Ayatollahs run your country? 0.92
00:18:57.080 Do you want to go your entire life never being able to go back to Iran? 0.75
00:19:02.140 Serious question.
00:19:02.800 Because when they're running that country and they have that mind frame, you're never going
00:19:07.720 to go back.
00:19:08.160 Your kids are never going to go back.
00:19:09.280 But my point is this.
00:19:10.660 It needs to come to an end at some point.
00:19:13.000 Those are two different conversations.
00:19:14.480 But I think it's one.
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
00:19:26.920 a full on war that say what you want.
00:19:30.460 We don't want it.
00:19:31.960 We're going to have to get involved.
00:19:34.060 We're going to have to, especially if it escalates to Israel just against Iran. 0.95
00:19:38.000 Not under Trump.
00:19:38.800 You don't think so?
00:19:40.700 Not under Trump.
00:19:41.580 I don't, I'm not, I'm not supporting any U.S. troops being on the ground at all.
00:19:46.120 Not under Trump.
00:19:47.180 Under any other president, under Nikki Haley, 100%.
00:19:50.740 Under anybody else, not under Trump.
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
00:20:03.240 for many different reasons.
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
00:20:09.700 it.
00:20:09.900 Just don't involve us.
00:20:12.200 If Israel thinks independently they can go do it, go ahead. 0.99
00:20:15.100 Do your thing.
00:20:15.900 Don't call for help.
00:20:17.520 Because Israel always says, we don't ever ask him for help.
00:20:20.640 We don't, no, no, no.
00:20:21.380 Of course, we've given some money to them.
00:20:22.940 Not as much as we've given to Ukraine.
00:20:24.480 Not as much as we've given to other places.
00:20:26.380 But we've given money.
00:20:27.120 And every time they give the number that it's accrued and compounded, if it wasn't today's
00:20:30.080 money, it's this.
00:20:30.800 I get it.
00:20:31.620 We've given way more money to Afghanistan.
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.
00:20:48.320 This is a very different thing.
00:20:49.580 So anyways, we'll see what happened there.
00:20:51.020 There's something about family, right?
00:20:53.000 There's something about family, beautiful families, you know, people you love.
00:20:56.860 This story is sent to me yesterday.
00:20:59.320 Okay.
00:20:59.940 It says, I'm 85 years old.
00:21:01.880 And somehow I woke up in my 36-year-old body, okay, just for one day.
00:21:07.820 This time I knew what to treasure.
00:21:10.940 Let's go to the next one.
00:21:12.660 So she's 85 years old, wakes up in 36-year-old body.
00:21:16.000 I hear a tiny voice before I open my eyes.
00:21:18.260 Mama, wake up. 0.99
00:21:19.260 I blink.
00:21:20.340 He's standing there.
00:21:21.760 Bedhead, pajama, pants too short.
00:21:24.580 My little boy, he's small again.
00:21:26.620 Go to the next one.
00:21:28.620 He climbs into my bed, laughing.
00:21:31.220 He wraps his arm around my neck.
00:21:32.980 I used to check the clock, rush the morning, but not today.
00:21:36.500 Today I hold him.
00:21:37.600 Tight, long, and deep.
00:21:39.620 Go next.
00:21:41.040 I walk to the mirror.
00:21:42.380 No gray, no wrinkles, no aches in my knees.
00:21:45.600 Just me, 36, tired, but strong.
00:21:50.040 Go ahead, Rob.
00:21:51.160 My husband is in the kitchen, making coffee.
00:21:53.320 He smiles when he sees me.
00:21:55.400 Younger, softer, so familiar.
00:21:57.900 I wrap my arms around him.
00:21:59.600 This time, I don't let go quickly.
00:22:01.800 We used to rush past each other.
00:22:03.360 Today I hold him close and whisper, thank you.
00:22:06.800 The kitchen floor is sticky.
00:22:08.920 Lego underfoot.
00:22:10.240 Socks on the counter.
00:22:11.560 I used to sigh.
00:22:13.080 Feel behind.
00:22:14.060 Get frustrated.
00:22:14.820 But now I stand still and just soak it all in.
00:22:17.320 My little son chatters all through breakfast, stories about superheroes, and questions about
00:22:23.080 monsters.
00:22:24.340 This time I listen, really listen, no phone, no distractions, just him, all his beautiful,
00:22:31.060 curious voice.
00:22:32.960 In the car, he sings loudly, kicks the seat, spills a snack.
00:22:37.240 I used to snap.
00:22:38.880 Now I smile and enjoy the moment because one day the seat will be empty and I'll miss the
00:22:45.460 noise.
00:22:47.180 In the evening, I pick up the phone and I hear my mom's voice.
00:22:50.720 Tears fill my eyes before I said a word.
00:22:53.340 I forget how much comfort lives in her voice.
00:22:55.920 We talked about nothing, the weather, what she is cooking, but it means everything.
00:23:01.100 I tell her I love her again and again.
00:23:03.820 I don't want to hang up.
00:23:04.840 At bedtime, I didn't rush.
00:23:08.320 He picks his favorite superhero book, the one I've read a hundred times.
00:23:11.860 Tonight, I read every single word slowly.
00:23:15.700 And then I ask, one more?
00:23:17.880 He nods.
00:23:18.820 I don't want this night to end.
00:23:21.000 He whispered, you're the best mom.
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.
00:23:39.220 Busy, bigger, out in the world.
00:23:41.820 But tonight, I got this precious moment.
00:23:44.460 And now I know this was joy.
00:23:46.860 This was love.
00:23:47.820 This was everything.
00:23:49.480 If you're living in the moment now, don't rush through it.
00:23:52.520 The little hand in yours.
00:23:54.300 The bedtime stories, the mess, the noise.
00:23:56.040 It all matters more than you know.
00:23:58.740 When you read a story like this, man.
00:24:01.580 Jesus, man.
00:24:02.540 I mean, you want to start us off by crying?
00:24:05.020 I call my mom now.
00:24:05.760 You freaking Rob's a mess.
00:24:06.520 Mom, I love you.
00:24:07.100 Tom's a mess.
00:24:08.080 Everybody's freaking.
00:24:08.480 Let me tell you.
00:24:09.380 The fact that Tom isn't actually crying right now.
00:24:11.220 He is.
00:24:11.660 I see it.
00:24:12.360 I read this last night.
00:24:13.080 I appreciate you, Tom.
00:24:13.800 I'm reading this thing last night.
00:24:16.100 You know what's crazy?
00:24:17.660 You guys sent me this video last night with, you know, this lady that hit the ice agent.
00:24:22.760 And she's singing this song, right?
00:24:24.240 I know it's going to make no sense.
00:24:25.380 But if you play this here, I'm going to tell you how all this matches up together.
00:24:28.700 Go ahead and play this.
00:24:29.340 You are now facing a federal charge, though.
00:24:32.100 Are you afraid of what's going to transpire now?
00:24:35.960 That's what happens here.
00:24:37.640 You fight on.
00:24:39.980 You fight on.
00:24:40.820 Because the mood changed really quickly.
00:24:42.880 You fight on.
00:24:45.300 You fight on.
00:24:47.640 When your government is doing.
00:24:50.540 So, I'm in the car.
00:24:51.720 How does she not respond?
00:24:52.960 Let me tell you what happened.
00:24:54.180 Tico yesterday, school's coming to an end.
00:24:56.080 So, they're doing swearing at all this stuff.
00:24:57.460 So, he's been out in the sun for eight hours.
00:24:59.180 His body is red.
00:25:00.600 Oh, God.
00:25:01.140 So, he can't put a shirt on.
00:25:02.160 And we have this aloe that you put, but it's old.
00:25:05.680 So, I take it into Publix.
00:25:07.180 And that's the moment you send it.
00:25:09.080 So, I'm playing this.
00:25:09.880 He said, what is she doing?
00:25:10.720 I said, watch.
00:25:11.200 I'm going to sing it in Publix in front of everybody for you.
00:25:14.020 We're in the Publix.
00:25:15.100 Tico gets embarrassed.
00:25:15.800 I am screaming this song off the top of my lungs.
00:25:20.460 And he is hugging.
00:25:21.720 You know how he pushes like to not do anything?
00:25:23.500 Of course he hates it.
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.
00:25:32.220 I asked this lady, I need some aloe gel. 1.00
00:25:34.760 The lady takes me and gives me coconuts and aloe.
00:25:37.600 I didn't say I want coconut.
00:25:39.060 I want aloe, the gel, right?
00:25:40.900 We come back.
00:25:41.520 We're laughing.
00:25:42.380 Then we're in the house.
00:25:43.640 We're sitting there.
00:25:44.060 He's showing me all this stuff from Stranger Times, Stranger Times, whatever.
00:25:46.600 Stranger Things, the show.
00:25:48.820 And he's like, but this and this.
00:25:50.580 And I'm like, dude, I really don't want to hear this stuff.
00:25:52.560 And I'm just listening to him say the stories.
00:25:54.460 And we're in bed.
00:25:55.100 It's 10, 15, 10, 30.
00:25:56.360 He's still talking about, Tico, you got to go to sleep.
00:25:58.420 Then I go to my bed.
00:26:00.820 Then Jennifer gives me this.
00:26:02.060 I read this.
00:26:03.240 The moment I read it, I get up.
00:26:04.900 I'm like, dude, I got to go.
00:26:05.840 She goes, where are you going?
00:26:06.760 I go back to Tico.
00:26:07.940 I said, finish your story about Stranger Things.
00:26:09.920 What was it?
00:26:11.200 And he sits up, dude.
00:26:12.260 He was so excited to tell me all about it.
00:26:15.060 And he says, will you watch it with me when we go for vacation and all this other stuff?
00:26:20.920 Is that not awesome, bro?
00:26:22.620 Like when you get some messages like this that inspire the hell out of you and just kind of,
00:26:26.500 we're 46, 47, Vinny.
00:26:28.840 The famous line.
00:26:30.040 Yeah.
00:26:30.300 We're going to be in 20.
00:26:32.340 We're going to wake up tomorrow.
00:26:33.780 The name called Family is so awesome.
00:26:37.300 But it's going to go by so quick, man.
00:26:39.540 It's going to go by so quick.
00:26:41.360 And it's so weird because I had no intentions of showing this to you guys.
00:26:45.700 But, you know, for me, we're sitting there.
00:26:48.440 We're thinking about, we have the Valk Conference that's coming up.
00:26:50.440 We do this once a year.
00:26:51.080 This year, we're expecting 12,000 people.
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.
00:27:03.740 How do you do this?
00:27:04.300 I said, listen, why don't we just do this?
00:27:05.620 Why don't we just do a free webinar on family, how to be a killer in business without killing
00:27:13.080 your marriage?
00:27:14.160 And I said, I'm going to talk about all the mistakes I've made.
00:27:16.360 Okay.
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
00:27:22.140 all those hands.
00:27:22.700 It's not.
00:27:23.140 It's just a great job.
00:27:24.540 Shout out to our guys at Graphic Design.
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
00:27:34.900 they don't want to kill their marriage.
00:27:35.860 So how do you balance that out?
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?
00:27:43.960 There's four things, by the way.
00:27:44.840 You ready?
00:27:45.540 Write these down.
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.
00:27:52.940 You don't want that.
00:27:53.900 Number two is you lack clarity on the vision.
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
00:28:01.600 they want to do.
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
00:28:12.500 your family is not bothering you.
00:28:14.180 You're just looking for it.
00:28:15.740 This concept of work-life balance comes up every single day with people who ask me this
00:28:20.980 question.
00:28:21.580 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
00:28:30.180 it at that time.
00:28:30.780 I'm married now with four kids, running all these businesses.
00:28:33.880 Some days you feel like you can't.
00:28:35.060 You don't know what the hell you're doing.
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.
00:28:39.540 So if it's important to you, get registered.
00:28:41.960 Tell your wife, your husband.
00:28:43.320 Get everybody on together to listen up.
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.
00:28:51.780 I'll see you there.
00:28:52.280 Come join us, guys.
00:28:54.580 June 11th, 1230.
00:28:55.520 Put it in your calendar.
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?
00:29:03.360 VTwebinar.com.
00:29:05.060 VTwebinar.com.
00:29:05.900 We have limited to 3,000 seats, so just make sure you go get registered.
00:29:08.880 Again, VTwebinar.com.
00:29:09.880 Can I say one thing about this?
00:29:11.060 Yeah, of course.
00:29:11.320 Because you've done how many webinars?
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.
00:29:24.680 I'm in the process of figuring it out.
00:29:26.500 I'm in the process of learning this stuff, but I can't wait to have this one with you
00:29:29.160 guys.
00:29:29.340 Well, you know the secret.
00:29:29.920 We're going to have a lot of fun with this.
