00:00:50.260
nation worse place to live. Rob, if you got that, if you want to play that clip, and then there is
00:00:55.460
a story that goes with it. Is this it? Go ahead, Rob. Today, the president said it's time to look for
00:01:01.860
new leadership in Iran. There was new calm on the streets of Tehran this weekend, but evidence of the
00:01:09.140
recent unrest and violent crackdown remains. Today, Iran's Ayatollah said, we consider the U.S.
00:01:15.780
president guilty both for the casualties, for the damages, and for the slander he made against the
00:01:21.720
Iranian nation. President Trump punching back, calling for an end to Khamenei's rule, adding the man is a
00:01:28.100
sick man who should run his country properly and stop killing people. The exchange follows nationwide
00:01:34.600
protests and a violent government crackdown. Thousands have been killed. President Trump had threatened to
00:01:41.200
take action against the regime if it did not stop killing civilians, but on Friday praised it for sparing
00:01:47.360
protesters. Did Arab and Israeli officials convince you to not strike Iran? Nobody convinced me. I convinced
00:01:54.120
myself. You had yesterday scheduled over 800 hangings. They didn't hang anyone. They canceled the hangings.
00:02:02.360
And this week, satellite images showed the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, the Abraham Lincoln, which was
00:02:09.920
rerouted to the Middle East amid those ongoing tensions with Iran. Meanwhile, the White House says
00:02:16.720
the president has a range of options at his disposal. Jerika? Willie James. Okay, so he's got a range of
00:02:23.740
options at his disposal. The Iranian government came out and they've had the internet down since the
00:02:29.120
8th. They're saying the protesting has calmed down a bit. Internet's been down since the 8th. They're saying
00:02:34.520
it's going to be down till March 20th, which is Aiden Oruz, the Iranian New Year, is what they're going to be
00:02:40.360
doing. The counts you're seeing is anywhere between 3,300, 3,500, which is a low number, upwards of 16,500.
00:02:47.920
You even hear some people talking about 50,000. 300,000 people have been arrested, injured. There's a lot of
00:02:54.060
mess going on in Iran right now. But Vinny, how do you process the fact that the president, it seemed like
00:03:01.240
they were about to attack, nothing... Ilan, I'll come to you first. How do you process the fact that
00:03:06.600
a lot of Iranians are thinking President Trump's about to come in and do something about it, and then
00:03:11.180
it seems like they took a step back? What do you think is going on there? So we've seen Trump be
00:03:14.880
unpredictable in the past, and then suddenly take action when no one expects it. But if Trump does
00:03:20.600
not take action after the words he spoke, I think by the Iranian perspective, the people of Iran, it'll be
00:03:25.700
perceived as a massive, massive betrayal. I think that we don't actually know how bad it is. The
00:03:31.560
regime is literally stopping the information from getting out. I heard reports of them using chemical
00:03:36.100
warfare against their own people. There's just disgusting things happening, and it makes us look
00:03:41.520
weak. If he comes out and he says, we're not going to allow this to happen, and then allows it to
00:03:45.840
happen. So that's my main concern there. I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see freedom
00:03:51.100
for the Iranian people. These opportunities don't come often. It stabilizes the entire Middle East.
00:03:56.380
There is a massive benefit, not just for the Iranian people, but for the entire world. So if he's going
00:04:00.800
to come out and talk strong, I hope he takes strong action. Again, he's unpredictable, so who knows what
00:04:05.240
he's actually going to do? Adam. So let's discuss what Iran is good at and what they're not good at.
00:04:11.080
Iran sucks at winning actual wars. The Islamic Republic of Iran, what's the last war they won against Iraq
00:04:18.280
30 years ago? So they suck at that. They certainly lost to Israel. That's without a question.
00:04:25.360
They're pretty good at proxy warring. All right, let's fund Hamas. Let's fund the Houthis. Let's fund
00:04:33.080
Hezbollah. They're pretty good at that. But you know what they're the best at? Killing their own people.
00:04:38.920
That's their thing. So let's not lose sight of that. Iran is a Islamic thug-like regime. And the people
00:04:48.260
that pay the price the most are their own people. Besides that, it's their neighbors. And then beyond
00:04:54.520
that, it's the world. So you hear terms like paper tiger. They haven't done anything. They're the
00:05:00.100
typical guy who talks trash. I'm going to meet me outside, bro. I'll kick your ass. And then you go
00:05:06.060
outside and you kick his ass. And then the fight's over. And then they go home and they tweet,
00:05:11.740
I will bring the enemy to its knees. Nobody believes you. Unfortunately, I don't know how
00:05:18.500
they're going to take this guy out. They may need to wait a few more years until he's literally dead
00:05:23.740
because he'll be 90 something years old. That's unfortunately the reality.
00:05:28.560
You made a great point. Trump is unpredictable. And I learned on this podcast, I'm talking to these
00:05:33.600
guys. Trump is like, everybody thinks, everybody knows what they're talking about because of what
00:05:37.620
CNN or somebody told us. You don't know what he's really doing. We don't know the conversations that
00:05:41.560
are happening behind the scenes. Maybe, just maybe, he doesn't want another, besides everything that's
00:05:45.920
happening in Minnesota and everything, the last thing he would want is, because especially with
00:05:50.300
what happened with Venezuela, another. We're going in and we're doing something else. That's one.
00:05:54.620
And then number two, Pat, how much do you think of this has to do with him not thinking that
00:06:00.300
Reza Pallavi is the leader that could, because once they go in, guys, once we go in, Pat,
00:06:04.800
they need the leader. You have to have somebody there. And from the comments he made last week,
00:06:08.640
I think right now he's like, oh, damn it. That's not the guy. So we can't go in there,
00:06:12.620
go in there to help. And then who's going to be propped up? Another Khomeini? No, they can't do it.
00:06:16.820
So I think there's a couple of factors at play, but I do think one of the main ones is
00:06:20.380
the leader isn't the leader that they thought could run the show. That could be one of the moments
00:06:24.900
where he's like, okay, guys, we need to chill out, you know, try to support them as much as we can.
00:06:28.780
But dude, with them killing 16,000 to 50,000, this isn't a joke. They need the help. They need
00:06:34.940
the help. Tom, I'm going to come to you here. I want to read this first. So Reza Pallavi implores
00:06:39.180
Trump to follow through on Iran's strikes. This is a political story. Pleaded Friday with Trump to
00:06:44.180
follow through on his promise to strike the Islamic Republic. The U.S. should conduct a surgical
00:06:49.300
strike on the Iranian regime, parliamentary paramilitary assets to weaken the Iran's government
00:06:54.560
and its ability to crack down protesters. Pallavi told reporters in Washington where he's made the
00:07:00.420
rounds in recent days to garner support and position himself as the person to lead a transition in Iran
00:07:06.760
should it fall. Trump has been watching the protests closely and at first pledged very strong,
00:07:12.720
pledged very strong action should Iran execute protests. But Trump's immediate threat appears to
00:07:18.220
have disappeared after Gulf Arab state and Israel have lobbied against military action at least right
00:07:24.280
away. President Trump did say if the regime were to hit the Iranian people hard, they will face
00:07:29.020
serious consequences. Tom, where are you at with this? So when Trump told the Iranian people, look,
00:07:35.020
I've got your back. This goes back two weeks ago, right? Exactly two weeks ago. He said, I've got your
00:07:40.080
back. And instead, he said, if you kill anybody, if you're going to be hard on these protesters,
00:07:45.500
look out, here I come. And then we're getting numbers out that people have died, thousands and
00:07:54.240
thousands injured, critically injured. And what Trump is saying, well, he didn't, he didn't hang
00:08:00.600
anybody yesterday. They didn't do the hangings. They were going to do 800 hangings or something like
00:08:04.420
that. They didn't do those. So that, that is a good thing. And then he backed off. Man, I'm old
00:08:11.200
enough to remember Cuba. And when JFK was supporting the Cuban rebels, supporting what was
00:08:17.220
going to go. And at the last minute, he pulled their support back and it led to the Bay of Pigs
00:08:24.160
for the, for the poor Cuban freedom fighters. And I worry that Trump, he's a leader, he's a driver,
00:08:31.580
but I worry he's kind of in a place right now. You pulled back on the attack. A lot of people in the
00:08:37.660
Middle East said, be careful. Iran's irrational. They may do something even crazier than normal.
00:08:43.400
Maybe we don't want to do this. So I understand the lobbying he got from Israel and certain Arab
00:08:48.900
states, but there's also this angle. He said he was going to be there and now he's kind of pulled
00:08:54.880
back. And I worry that he's in a bit of a spot. What do you think? You worry he's in a bit of a spot
00:09:01.420
like what? Yeah, because he made a commitment. He says, I'm going to be behind you. And now what he's
00:09:05.220
saying is, well, nobody got hung yesterday. Yeah, but it looks like at least by consensus,
00:09:10.280
12,000 people have been killed. So why, why would he not do anything? Why would he not keep a promise?
00:09:17.780
Was he convinced that Iran in their destabilization right now would be even more militarily irrational
00:09:26.160
than normal? I think he got convinced. What else do you think it is?
00:09:30.120
I think, you know, you, you come in and you break up the party, but you have to leave an adult at the
00:09:37.740
house. And I don't know if he's got that person. Yeah. To me, when I, when I watch this and I think
00:09:44.200
about what's going on, one is, you know, reports that came to him from the Middle East, even Turkey
00:09:49.700
and some of these guys saying, listen, you guys, I don't want to, you may not want to attack yet.
00:09:53.400
Even Israel saying they're not ready yet to make the attack. Okay. Let's just say that's when the
00:09:57.800
intel comes in. He trusts what some of that information is going to come in is Mossad
00:10:02.360
giving him a report that, you know, maybe it's a different kind of a report. He's got a guy on
00:10:08.880
the inside, Lindsey Graham, that probably, how bad do you think Lindsey Graham wants to see an attack?
00:10:13.240
He was so upset that he was, he came out of what he's like, listen, I think we should have done.
00:10:20.060
Orange can't describe it. He has such a Jones for an attack.
00:10:23.600
Okay. Now watch this. How many clips have you seen with Lindsey Graham being with the president
00:10:32.780
He's on Air Force One standing four feet from him. That's right.
00:10:35.420
That's the one I was talking about. Yeah. He's with Reza Pahlavi. He's talking to the Iranian people.
00:10:39.340
Hey, we should do this. Hey, here's what should, we should make America, we should make,
00:10:42.960
what do you call it, Iran great again. So he's kind of like becoming that face of, so he's,
00:10:49.560
what I like is that Trump has people in his ears that are saying, don't do it.
00:10:53.780
He's got people in his ears that are saying, do do it. Then he's got the American people
00:10:58.520
that are the, you know, anti, you know, they're non-interventionist like a J.D. Vance that's
00:11:03.200
probably saying what? Let's avoid this. Let's not do it. Rubio's probably a gamer that wants
00:11:07.020
to go through with it. Maybe he's sitting there saying we don't have the replacement yet,
00:11:10.920
or maybe you're going to go to sleep and wake up in the middle of the morning and in the middle
00:11:16.680
of the night, your phone's blown up with 48 text messages because they attack. Yep.
00:11:20.920
But if you attack, what are you attacking for? That's going to be the question. Is the attack
00:11:25.640
just to attack like the nuclear sites? Is that the attack? Or is the attack with an outcome?
00:11:31.120
An attack with an outcome is what? A change. An attack just to attack is not anything. And then
00:11:36.800
you're seeing money leaving the country. Did you see the article about Khamenei's son?
00:11:42.080
Type in Khamenei. By this time, Rob is professional at spelling Khamenei. Look at the way he spells
00:11:48.080
Khamenei's son. And then put billions. Put billions. Is that the video, Pat?
00:11:52.980
Let me see if this is it. Right there. That's the one. What is that one and a half billion
00:11:56.820
dollar report? Report from mid-January. Alleged Mojitavah, Khamenei's son of Iran's
00:12:02.340
superior, moved substantial funds around $320 million to $28 million to Dubai amidst broader
00:12:08.860
transfer to potentially billions out of Iran. Some are saying one and a half billion.
00:12:12.620
And shown regime officials lack confidence in the economy while specific link to him
00:12:18.040
to Dubai. Direct Qatar dealings aren't detailed in these reports. Though his wealth is set to
00:12:24.300
be roughly $3 billion. Go a little bit lower, Rob. There was an article down there as well.
00:12:29.360
Go a little bit lower right there. What is that one right there? That's a different one.
00:12:33.000
Okay. Yeah. So maybe, you know, rumors are being made that money is being moved. Scott Besson
00:12:38.120
said money is being moved. So if they're moving that kind of money, why are they moving money?
00:12:42.740
You know, maybe they're looking at other options. I don't know. And again, there's everything
00:12:48.200
you see. There's stuff that you don't see that's going on behind closed doors. Okay.
00:12:52.160
The majority. The majority. Yes. But there's a reason why Iran has turned off the internet
00:12:58.560
for this long. There's a reason why they've done that. They're either cleaning the house
00:13:04.000
and killing everybody. Okay. Left and right. And, or they're not wanting people to see
00:13:10.780
the momentum that some other people around the world are having with what's going on
00:13:14.160
in Iran. If you go to Canada, Rob, if you play that clip in Canada, this is 100,000 Canadians
00:13:20.020
protesting in the snow. I don't think this is the one, Rob. Do you know which one I'm talking
00:13:25.000
about? Go to my Twitter account. If you go to my Twitter account, you'll see this is 100,000
00:13:30.140
Canadians, by the way. These are true believers. Yeah. And watch this. Look at this. Yeah.
00:13:35.780
Those are the right flags. Are they, Pat? 100,000. Wow. Good for them. In the freezing cold.
00:13:44.060
In the middle of a storm. That's respect, dude. Coming out against it. So this is the 17th.
00:13:50.360
Grock verified that this is real. Adam, looks like you want to say something. These people
00:13:54.520
are real protesters. They're not paid protesters. Yeah. They're not the fake Palestine people.
00:13:59.860
Protesters, they would call a PTO on that day because weather conditions are bad for paid
00:14:05.260
protesters. Yeah, the Soros protesters would call it sick. Pat, I think you bring up a really good
00:14:09.880
point, and it's basically follow the money. You know, we're focused, of course, in America on
00:14:15.060
the external. What's Trump going to do? What was he talking to? Was it Lindsey Graham? Was it J.D.
00:14:21.740
Vance? Okay, there's the external pressure that may be coming, but the internal pressure
00:14:25.740
is really what may break or break the machine. Just some quick numbers for you, especially the
00:14:32.140
young people that have grown up with a phone in their hand. The misery index, one of the highest
00:14:36.460
in the world. GDP per capita, the average person makes $5,000 a year. Unemployment is over 10 to 20%
00:14:42.980
when it turns to the youth. Inflation, 48% just this year alone. The currency's been devalued 50%
00:14:49.940
just this year alone. The poverty line, up to 25 to 50% of the country lives below the poverty line.
00:14:57.860
And on top of all that, there's very little clean drinking water. So when you see these protests in
00:15:04.940
Iran, I'll ask you guys a question who think it's fake. What good could they be cheering for? There's
00:15:11.940
nothing good coming out of Iran. And all the money that they've invested in their nuclear program,
00:15:18.820
and all the proxy war terrorists, have all just been completely dismantled in the last six months.
00:15:24.860
What good news is happening out of Iran? Did their soccer team do well or something like that?
00:15:29.960
There's nothing good coming out of Iran, unfortunately.
00:15:34.000
Again, at any time, you could hear a surprise news because they're still, you know, bracing for
00:15:42.000
impact. At any time with Trump, you could expect anything to happen where others could be ready
00:15:47.180
for an attack. Till then, nothing's happened yet. A lot of Iranians are disappointed. We'll see what
00:15:53.220
When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it
00:16:00.680
fast. We had the choice to make it cheap. We chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscaniro. We chose true
