00:01:57.240 Walmart has 2.5 million employees.
00:01:59.660 Iran has 92 million people.
00:02:02.600 Smart people.
00:02:03.480 Iranians know math.
00:02:04.720 They're engineers.
00:02:05.520 They're brilliant.
00:02:06.400 They've built some of the most incredible things that we use today.
00:02:10.160 Their empire.
00:02:10.800 You go to the museum in Esfahan.
00:02:12.400 They say this place has been here for 2,000 years.
00:02:15.500 They don't say 100 years, 200 years, 300 years.
00:02:18.880 2,000 years, 2,500 years.
00:02:21.400 They've been some of the most incredible human beings worldwide.
00:02:24.440 With the stuff they've built, they're naturally, organically given.
00:02:28.740 Go to an Iranian's house. 1.00
00:02:30.180 Look how they treat you.
00:02:31.500 Look how they serve you.
00:02:32.680 Let me make this sandwich for you.
00:02:34.140 Let me serve you with this.
00:02:35.720 The Iranian people.
00:02:37.020 Not Khamenei.
00:02:38.020 Not those people.
00:02:38.840 So these people are sitting there saying, Reza Pahlavi, what are we doing?
00:02:44.120 Are we doing this or no?
00:02:46.120 Suited up, looking all good.
00:02:47.840 Speaking proper English, being very smart.
00:02:49.780 I get it.
00:02:50.640 But make your move already.
00:02:53.020 These people are waiting.
00:02:54.760 Everybody else is waiting to see what's going to be happening.
00:02:57.420 So now, watch this.
00:02:59.800 Number one priority for Iran is their economy.
00:03:03.020 You realize if Iran was to be open right now with their economy,
00:03:06.180 you can fit 82 Israels in Iran.
00:03:10.460 You can fit seven, seven UKs in Iran.
00:03:14.780 That's how big Iran is. 1.00
00:03:16.420 Look at Iran's location, how perfect it is. 0.96
00:03:19.460 Europe this side, China this side, Russia this side.
00:03:23.280 What a perfect location to be in for business.
00:03:26.160 Everyone has to flow through you.
00:03:27.540 Do you remember many, many years ago when Churchill, FDR, and Stalin all had to have a business meeting?
00:03:37.060 Do you know where Churchill, Stalin, and FDR met?
00:03:41.320 Rob, can you type in FDR, Churchill, Stalin, meeting Iran?
00:03:46.980 Can you just type that please in Google and pull this picture up?
00:03:49.820 They had all these other places in the world to meet.
00:03:52.700 They could have gone to Spain.
00:03:55.240 They could have gone to Brazil.
00:03:56.920 They could have gone to Acapulco.
00:03:58.780 They could have gone to Argentina, Buenos Aires.
00:04:00.960 They could have gone to London.
00:04:02.420 They could have gone anywhere.
00:04:03.760 Where did they have the meeting?
00:04:04.860 In Iran! 0.83
00:04:06.160 Wow.
00:04:07.660 They had their meeting in Iran.
00:04:10.280 Iran was one of the most important countries in the world to have safe in the Middle East.
00:04:15.080 And all they're looking for is a leader.
00:04:17.040 They don't care what this person's background is.
00:04:19.500 Come, bring us economy number two.
00:04:22.080 Women want to be left alone. 1.00
00:04:24.020 Allow me to live my life.
00:04:25.220 If I want to keep it, keep it.
00:04:26.240 I see a lot of the videos right now that some markets in Iran, you can get away with that.
00:04:30.680 And it's true. 0.56
00:04:31.240 Some markets you can.
00:04:32.640 But they're still walking on eggshells.
00:04:34.940 They're still worried about what's going to be happening.
00:04:37.040 They want their liberties.
00:04:38.120 They want to be able to go to nightclubs.
00:04:40.080 They want to be able to hang out and have fun.
00:04:41.920 They want some of those Western ideas to come to Iran.
00:04:44.720 They do.
00:04:45.640 They want to be free.
00:04:46.820 Let me make good decisions or bad decisions.
00:04:48.820 Let me decide for myself, not you being the person that tells me what the hell to do.
00:04:53.480 I got four kids.
00:04:54.800 We're walking this morning.
00:04:56.060 Me, Vinny, and Jim, we're having our walk.
00:04:58.100 This is what happens when you get in your mid-40s, early 50s.
00:05:00.580 You start kind of having walks in the morning, right?
00:05:02.720 And we're talking, saying to Jen, I'm reading my business plan, which is somewhere around here.
00:05:07.560 I don't know where I put it.
00:05:08.440 Anyways, I probably took it upstairs.
00:05:10.100 And one of the things on my business plan says, enjoy every minute with your oldest son.
00:05:14.640 You only have five more years before he leaves you.
00:05:17.260 Like this, five more years before he leaves you.
00:05:20.480 I love hanging out with that guy.
00:05:22.460 I love talking to him.
00:05:24.080 There is nothing like it to be able to have those conversations with your kids, with your family.
00:05:29.400 These Iranian people, that's what they want. 1.00
00:05:31.340 They want to be free.
00:05:33.260 My kids are going to make some decisions I don't support.
00:05:36.880 Who are you for you to think what is right for me to make as a decision?
00:05:41.080 The market's going to react already if you do something dumb.
00:05:45.380 Let them live their lives.
00:05:47.160 Let people be able to do what they want to do.
00:05:49.560 That's what Iranians are asking for. 1.00
00:05:51.440 They're not asking for much.
00:05:53.080 So all these other people that we're talking about that they're saying they're going to be doing something here.
00:05:57.980 $400 billion is Iran.
00:06:00.020 Most people think it's just oil.
00:06:01.680 Do you know what kind of resources they have?
00:06:03.440 If all these sanctions were lifted, if somebody went to Iran that could have relations and it's tough and strong, that understands business to be able to deal with the U.S., to be able to deal with Russia, to be able to deal with Iran, to be able to deal with China.
00:06:17.420 There are many in Iran.
00:06:18.960 This could be a wake-up call for you guys to go to them and say, hey, XYZ, how about you?
00:06:23.820 How about you?
00:06:24.720 How about you?
00:06:25.620 How about you?
00:06:26.480 This is on the people to go knock on the door.
00:06:29.120 When I was living in L.A., I flew back once in L.A., me, Tikran, and Mario went to a person's house.
00:06:34.860 I went to their office.
00:06:36.340 Mario and Tikran will remember this.
00:06:37.800 Tikran, I know you're watching this because you're texting me on this side and I'm trying to respond back, but I can't.
00:06:42.500 You know what the meeting was with this man?
00:06:43.960 When I went there, he says to me, hey, good to see you.
00:06:48.340 This is a very important person in my life.
00:06:50.820 I said, do you know why I'm here?
00:06:52.480 He says, yeah, he just wanted to come say hi.
00:06:54.280 I said, no, that's not why I'm here.
00:06:55.720 Why are you here?
00:06:56.700 You need to run for governor.
00:06:58.640 And you should have seen the look on his face.
00:07:01.560 White. 0.81
00:07:03.700 He's white.
00:07:04.960 Skin is white looking at me. 0.92
00:07:07.840 I cannot believe you just said that.
00:07:09.640 No, you need to run for a governor.
00:07:14.240 What are you talking about?
00:07:15.340 You need to run for governor.
00:07:16.820 Why do you think me?
00:07:18.120 Why not you?
00:07:19.040 You have influence.
00:07:19.860 You have values.
00:07:20.440 You have principles.
00:07:21.440 Your state is relying on you.
00:07:22.720 Do you not love the state?
00:07:23.560 Just do something about it.
00:07:26.240 And then we go to, I take him to Cancun on a trip two months later.
00:07:29.960 I'm having dinner.
00:07:30.760 His wife is sitting right across from me.
00:07:32.120 I said, how you doing?
00:07:33.120 Says, you know, since the meeting you had with my husband, you've messed him up.
00:07:35.560 He can't sleep at night because all he's talking about is the fact that Patrick said I should run for governor.
00:07:40.340 Go talk to some people.
00:07:42.860 Challenge them.
00:07:43.340 Ask them.
00:07:43.960 It's time.
00:07:44.460 Do something.
00:07:45.380 Because right now, if we know President Trump is saying we're not trying to do anything for regime change, we all know that could be happening next two to four weeks.
00:07:55.320 So then who is it?
00:07:56.180 Is it another person that's a puppet that's not strong enough that can handle their own?
00:08:00.000 Is that what we're going to be getting?
00:08:01.580 Is that what's going to happen there?
00:08:02.760 You think that's going to change?
00:08:04.220 It's got to be somebody strong, somebody that can stand up tall and have those types of conversations.
00:08:07.680 All I did is when I brought Reza Palladi the first time was to give him a platform to say, go, announce.
00:08:16.440 And he said he doesn't want the job.
00:08:18.180 Second time around, didn't get a definite answer.
00:08:21.720 Third time around, we see him on TV every day.
00:08:24.080 So, by the way, if it isn't him and he's going to play a role similar to what is in UK where there's the monarchy and you're going to play that role as an influencer to help out, someone needs to be a face.
00:08:37.640 You need a face to start this next movement.
00:08:41.060 And by the way, Adam, going back to you when you're talking about I don't think you can do it on your own.
00:08:45.400 I think U.S. has done plenty.
00:08:47.040 I think Trump's done plenty.
00:08:48.560 I think Israel has done plenty.
00:08:50.100 I think it's on the Iranian people right now. 0.71
00:08:52.160 They got to go and do what a lot of people are not willing to do.
00:08:54.660 It's going to get nasty.
00:08:55.420 It's not going to get pretty.
00:08:56.740 And by the way, I am not one to sit here and tell you do it no matter what at all costs.
00:09:00.920 I'm a father of four.
00:09:02.720 I would be concerned just like anybody else as they're going through this.
00:09:05.460 But the reality of it is to us, you know, to the people that are living in America, you have complete different things you're thinking about.
00:09:14.020 To the people that are living in Iran right now, they're not following the, well, I should have regretted. 1.00
00:09:20.180 I should have never voted for Trump.
00:09:21.880 That's not what they're thinking about.
00:09:23.920 Iranians are thinking about when can we have a concert in Iran of Drake?
00:09:30.660 When can we have a player that wants to come and play with us?
00:09:34.280 When can we have a sporting event here?
00:09:38.300 When can we celebrate our New Year's with festivities?
00:09:42.160 When can we open up Facebook, YouTube, Google X in Iran?
00:09:46.380 When can we start having iPhones, Gucci, Ferragamo, Balenciaga, all the, when can we have some of this stuff in Iran? 1.00
00:09:53.820 When can we open up these businesses that are coming and building their headquarters here in Iran to create jobs for us?
00:09:59.420 When? This is time for us to bring peace back to the Middle East, but it's going to take the right thing to want to do it. 0.94
00:10:06.900 And God willing, the Iranian people, very smart people, some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.
00:10:13.060 Hopefully they'll be able to find somebody that's got the backbone to be able to do this job.
00:10:17.080 Rob, can you pull up the one thing that Brandon just said with the natural resources that Iran has?
00:10:22.420 Can you put that up there?
00:10:23.340 When you think about natural resources, you think about Russia, number one, we've talked about this before, 75 trillion.
00:10:28.820 Look who's number five on that list.
00:10:30.920 Number two is U.S., 45 trillion.
00:10:33.300 Three is Saudi, 34 trillion.
00:10:35.240 Four is Canada, 33 trillion.
00:10:37.220 Look who's Iran. 1.00
00:10:38.200 27 ahead of China, ahead of Brazil, ahead of Australia, Iraq, Venezuela.
00:10:44.060 Do you know what the right leader, what Iran can turn into? 0.92
00:10:47.800 Oh, my God, what Iran could turn into. 0.99
00:10:50.700 We're the right leader.
00:10:51.760 By the way, you know, I don't want us to stay here any longer.
00:10:57.040 I just wanted to do an emergency podcast here before we wrap up.
00:11:00.060 One of the things I want you to be thinking about right now is the following.
00:11:02.920 It is so hard.
00:11:04.540 It is so hard when the person you voted for, you know, some people voted and they were like one foot in, one foot out.
00:11:11.000 To those people, listen, you can bash the president, say whatever you want.
00:11:14.480 I totally get it.
00:11:15.440 But to the people who feel there was an element of destiny with this man being in the White House, where this was a job that he needed to do.
00:11:24.380 I know there are some people that this is a great opportunity to get up there and bash him, trash him, and throw him under the bus nonstop.
00:11:31.420 And you have the right to do so.
00:11:32.700 It's America, freedom of speech.
00:11:34.780 In some countries, you can't do that.
00:11:36.460 I even heard in Israel, they announced that you couldn't say certain things.
00:11:39.520 Even in Florida, they came up with something saying you can't say stuff about anti—you can't talk about this kind of stuff.
00:11:44.900 In America, we can talk.
00:11:47.000 In America, we can have the debates, the conversations.
00:11:49.640 That's how it works.
00:11:50.600 People call me out all the time.
00:11:52.360 We call you out all the time.
00:11:54.220 That's the great thing about America, as long as we do it respectfully.
00:11:57.140 If anybody calls me out respectfully, I listen.
00:12:00.380 This is the great thing about what we have here right now.
00:12:02.820 But for those that really voted for this man and they want this thing to happen and they feel there was an element of destiny, that this took place for those people.
00:12:15.740 Where you were there 2016, 2020, you saw what happened to them.
00:12:19.220 And, you know, they just released the investigation.
00:12:21.100 They want to look into the 2020 election to see what happened there.
00:12:24.460 And this guy almost gets killed.
00:12:26.780 And we were in the Hamptons last year when he almost got killed.
00:12:30.060 And Joe Biden was the one right after the debate.
00:12:32.140 It was the worst debate performance I've seen in my life.
00:12:34.560 And then next thing you know, they announced it's Kamala.
00:12:38.140 And then we were about to have Kamala.
00:12:40.900 2.1 billion dollars, give or take all these celebrities that support her, endorse her.
00:12:45.520 And then we are here now.
00:12:47.160 This is my suggestion to you.
00:12:49.140 If by now you don't know who Trump is, you have an instinct issue.
00:12:55.500 You have an intuition issue.
00:12:58.180 If you don't know who Trump is by now, your alternative was Kamala.
00:13:03.880 Your alternative was Joe Biden.
00:13:07.040 And your alternative was a third party.
00:13:09.240 The third party candidate joined Trump.
00:13:11.580 His name was RFK Jr.
00:13:14.180 The third party candidate was Tulsi Gabbard.
00:13:16.640 Joined Trump.
00:13:18.220 Couldn't get it done as third party.
00:13:20.840 They knew he was the right guy.
00:13:22.700 If you voted for him, this is a time for us to unite behind it and see what happens.
00:13:29.660 Stay paranoid.
00:13:30.860 Stay skeptical.
00:13:32.520 None of them have access to all the information as he does.
00:13:35.660 No one's got more burden right now than he does with the job.
00:13:38.800 Trust me, I don't want any of our troops to go out there for us to lose anyone.
00:13:43.260 I've been there when the stories are delivered.
00:13:44.900 They're not nice.
00:13:45.560 They're not exciting.
00:13:47.300 But I'm convinced the future looks bright.
00:13:50.580 And when I'm doing this podcast, it's funny.
00:13:52.400 I'm watching this.
00:13:53.120 You know what's the first thing I noticed, Rob?
00:13:54.340 Can you go back to the podcast?
00:13:56.320 Yeah, I'm in New York right now.
00:13:58.460 We're going to go do some stuff here in New York.
00:14:00.020 We've got some stuff that we're going to be doing.
00:14:01.860 I'm watching this podcast and I see that USA hat fires me up.
00:14:08.280 I know this is a phase of fear, porn, scared.
00:14:11.580 I don't know what to do.
00:14:12.360 All this other stuff.
00:14:13.640 This is when leaders rise up.
00:14:15.160 This is when leaders rise up and believe the future looks bright.
00:14:18.480 It's okay for us to believe, be a little bit paranoid.
00:14:21.040 It's okay for us to be a little bit concerned.
00:14:22.860 We ought to be.
00:14:23.760 It's okay for us to be worried about our kids, our safety, our family, all of that stuff.
00:14:27.400 That's what leaders do.
00:14:28.560 It's our job.
00:14:29.160 The burden comes with it.
00:14:31.060 But no matter how much burden you got, you just saw that man right there, what he did.
00:14:35.680 This is why we love the future looks bright brand.
00:14:39.600 Rob, can you go to vtmerch.com, show those hats right there, USA?

00:15:15.080 selling their propaganda.
