00:00:00.000 Speaking of going full Islamic and going full retard, do you see what's going on with your
00:00:04.860 friend Tucker Carlson these days? Who is the Islamic regime Ayatollah playing to use as
00:00:10.420 propaganda in Iran? None other than Tucker Carlson. Do you have this clip, Rob? This is what the
00:00:18.460 Shah, this is what Ayatollah of Iran is playing to indoctrinate his own people, to galvanize them,
00:00:25.080 to not overthrow his regime. Go ahead. So the Islamic regime right now is literally broadcasting
00:00:35.560 Tucker Carlson interviews in Persian on their 24 hour news channel. The country is in a state of
00:00:43.980 chaos. And yet for some reason, the Islamic regime is choosing to play Tucker Carlson interviews
00:00:50.020 because this is like, you know, it's Islamist propaganda. I'm just filming this right now
00:00:55.480 because if I didn't do this, no one would believe this is literally what's going on in
00:01:00.500 occupied Iran right now. I listened to that conversation that he had. Did you listen to
00:01:05.600 what she just said? I did. I did. So why is the Ayatollah of Iran playing? Because it's pro-Iranian,
00:01:12.120 obviously. It's pro-their regime. So why would Tucker Carlson defend the Ayatollah regime?
00:01:18.440 I'm not saying, I don't, well, I'm not coming at you. Adam, Adam, no, no, no, no. You're
00:01:22.700 his friend. Adam, that's, that's, that's an unfair straw man question. Why is he, he's
00:01:28.060 not what he's not defending the Iranian regime. No, no, no, no, no. Well, that you, you, what
00:01:32.940 you could play, but what you just done, you're making the, you're making the argument and
00:01:37.240 you're, you're answering it with, with your, uh, pejorative, uh, pejorative, uh, line
00:01:41.900 of questioning. First of all, he has allowed Tucker Carlson. We have to have people interview
00:01:47.240 other people now. And, and he's interviewing, uh, this, you know, um, the, the president
00:01:54.720 of Iran. But that wasn't the president of Iran who he was entering. Larry Sanger. He was
00:01:59.040 interviewing some random guy. But, but, but my point is this, we need to hear, we need
00:02:02.920 to hear some. Yeah. I, I, he did not ask in his questions when he did that interview, which
00:02:07.260 I listened to, there was questions I wish he would have asked and he didn't. I wasn't there.
00:02:11.080 I don't know. But I know that like, we need to have, we have to have, why is the Ayatollah
00:02:15.840 even thinking about considering playing Tucker Carlson propaganda? That's how me, these are
00:02:22.260 the questions that need to be asked. Well, these, these are obviously, um, how desperate
00:02:26.420 the situation is in Iran right now that they got, what do we got? We got Tucker. He's
00:02:30.820 saying he's not attacking. So who's the useful idiot we could use? Tucker Carlson? Well,
00:02:34.040 I would say in that situation, yeah, they feel like that, uh, conversation, uh, buttresses,
00:02:39.020 uh, their support for the regime. It's not going to make a difference. Well, I was just
00:02:42.880 thinking, Oh, you guys know who Amid Malik is. He's the Iranian, Iranian mother, Pakistani
00:02:48.580 father who invested the 15 million for Tucker to start TCN. That's number one, which is just
00:02:54.020 to give me a little bit backstory history. But then Rob, I'm just curious when, did you
00:02:58.220 hear when Tucker was like, they asked him, so you're buying property in Qatar? And he
00:03:02.080 goes, yeah, cause I'm an American. And that's what Americans do. And it's like, like
00:03:06.460 do as a man has nothing to do with it. And it just feel bad. Cause he was, if I, if
00:03:10.160 I'm not mistaken, he was interviewing the co seat, the founder of Wikipedia. Cause
00:03:14.400 they were talking about, you know, the West and how the West talks about this and
00:03:17.600 that, which, I mean, there's, there has, there is a reason that they're playing
00:03:20.760 him, but Tucker and friends and all that aside, the shift of Tucker Carlson from
00:03:27.020 going like, I get it. Criticize America. Fine. I criticize America, especially during
00:03:33.140 9-11 and George Bush. I've revisited that 20 times, but you cannot deny the shift in,
00:03:40.140 you know, buying land in Qatar, them playing you, which I mean, of anything, by the way,
00:03:45.300 internet's down, complete blackout. Why aren't they playing you, Rob? Why aren't they
00:03:48.640 playing Deuce Bigelow? They're not playing Deuce Bigelow. They're playing Tucker Carlson
00:03:52.900 talking crap about the United States. It certainly doesn't look good. Because he went full retard.
00:03:56.520 No, it certainly doesn't look good. Why do you feel the need to defend Tucker?
00:04:00.080 Because he's not here. He's not here. And also, I think that the, the, one of the great
00:04:06.340 strengths that we have and what you guys have, what you have here is whether you like it or
00:04:11.340 not is to hear opposing views. And it may be views that you don't like. I'm going to give
00:04:15.060 something that's going to be very weird. And that is, and I got to tell you, like, I don't
00:04:18.680 agree with it, but at the same time to, to just attack somebody, you kind of take a look
00:04:23.200 at the totality. And yeah, I think it's, I think that there is some potential, um, you
00:04:29.960 know, uh, corruption in, in, in, in the fact that there's not questions asked that I would
00:04:35.340 have asked, but I'm not that guy. Corruption in who? Well, I'm saying that the, that the
00:04:38.840 interview seemed to have had a corrupt, I mean, there was some corruption as far as, I just
00:04:43.700 think, you know, journalistically, but that's my, my opinion. So we're on the same page that
00:04:46.960 Tucker Carlson has been corrupted. No, I'm saying that interview, I think could have
00:04:51.220 been, you know, but I'm not an interviewer. I don't do that. So I would say like, you
00:04:55.600 know, you, what you do is you can put information out there and let people look at it.
00:04:58.340 Tell me why this is a big deal, Adam. Why is this a big deal that they're playing Tucker?
00:05:01.600 So, because originally what would have made it a big deal if he was into, if they're
00:05:06.400 showing what clip? If they're showing what clip of Tucker? What would have made it a, what,
00:05:11.740 what clip would I have said, why are they showing this clip? An interview with who?
00:05:16.760 With the president of Iran. But it wasn't. It was an interview with Wikipedia.
00:05:21.220 Guy. Yeah. So they're trying to rewrite history. Yeah. I don't know. But all I'm
00:05:25.660 saying is like, who cares if they're showing the clip? Like you think they're using it to
00:05:29.600 show what? Hey, Tucker's on our side. I'm asking Adam. What, like, what do you think
00:05:33.460 is a, I'm saying, so the fact that they're saying, Hey guys, so let's back up a second.
00:05:38.880 If you may, this regime is about to collapse in my opinion. Okay. Sure. The, on Calci, who's
00:05:46.700 the number one person on the list that's most likely to be toppled? Okay. So he's clinging
00:05:51.300 for life. Yes. So what does a desperate animal do when he's clinging to life? He's going to
00:05:55.620 fight back. So he's going to use whatever weapons at his disposal to fight. He's killing
00:06:00.660 his own people. More people have been killed by the Iranian regime this year. So when you're
00:06:05.980 desperate, you do stupid things. So he brings out this useful idiot, Tucker to say, Hey guys,
00:06:11.920 we're actually good people. Listen to what this American journalist has to say.
00:06:16.420 Let me clarify. What I'm trying to say is what did he say? They showed a Larry Sanger
00:06:21.640 clip. Okay. First of all, they're in free fall. They're in free defending the regime.
00:06:26.340 But it's not Khamenei. That's the thing. He's defending the regime.
00:06:29.280 Adam, sensibly. Do you think that they would play a clip of him dismantling the regime?
00:06:32.900 Adam, can I ask you a question? Do you think Khamenei knows that?
00:06:34.920 So they're using a clip of him defending the regime saying, listen guys, we're not that bad.
00:06:38.880 Even Tucker Carlson thinks we're great. You're not making sense. You're not making sense.
00:06:43.260 Respectfully, I think I'm making complete sense. No, you're not. Because Khamenei
00:06:46.240 You haven't made one valid point. Khamenei doesn't know how to use the internet. He's not
00:06:50.080 doing it. His people, obviously, somebody is doing that. But let me just want to correct
00:06:54.660 something. I said, I didn't say that. I don't mean to say that. I think that Tucker is corrupt.
00:06:58.960 I'm saying that there's something wrong in that conversation that he had, because I think
00:07:04.420 that that is, he's missed out on opportunity. It's a question. When you miss out on opportunity,
00:07:09.920 an opportunity, opportunity. Here's what I would say. At some point, you say, maybe you're
00:07:12.500 compromised. Adam, here's what I would say. Do I think his positions changed a little bit
00:07:18.980 while he's saying, I've never met anybody bad that's from Pakistan. They've been very
00:07:22.060 good. I've never met anybody. I've never met him. It's a little weird on his positioning
00:07:25.620 with the video and the messaging from, you know, five years ago, 10 years ago to where
00:07:28.880 he's at today. Okay, I'll give you that. A little weird on what's going on.
00:07:31.280 There's other examples, but go on. There's many examples to go through, a plethora of
00:07:35.240 examples to go through. He forgot the internet exists and the internet is forever.
00:07:38.980 I'm not even talking to Israel. I mean, I haven't brought up Israel once. The argument against
00:07:43.020 Israel, call it out, control, all of that stuff. I'm comfortable with that. I'm talking
00:07:47.320 about Iran and the Middle East. Yeah. I look at this clip. I do think he made the president
00:07:56.000 of Iran seem like a nice guy. Sweetheart. I do think he made it. I would have interviewed
00:08:01.060 in a very different way. What I'm specifically isolating is this singular video that people
00:08:07.820 are reacting to, to say what happened. Do you know yesterday, who was the Anna Paulina
00:08:14.460 Luna we had on the podcast? Do you know what clip was going viral yesterday? What was that?
00:08:18.180 Let me show you what clip was going viral yesterday. Anna Paulina Luna. My phone is blowing up.
00:08:24.420 Did you hear? Is this true that Anna Paulina Luna said on your podcast that Erica Kirk lost
00:08:30.900 her kids? Did you guys see this clip? By the way, tens of millions of views. So watch this
00:08:36.760 clip. Go ahead, Rob. I don't think that she at all had any connection to that. When I see
00:08:41.760 that, it's like you're already, you're victimizing the victim, if that makes sense. Because at
00:08:46.220 the end of the day, she did lose her husband. She lost her kids. Like I was just with her
00:08:49.440 at the White House and she's... She lost her kids, right? Anyone. No, no, no. She misspoke.
00:08:54.080 She meant she lost her kids' husband. Of course I know she misspoke. What I'm trying to tell
00:08:57.980 you is the internet goes and takes this and says, Erica Kirk lost her kids. That's what happened.
00:09:05.860 So the point I'm going to use, I'm isolating this clip. If Iran was going to use the TV
00:09:11.620 that they control to show a clip, they should have shown Pazeshkin's clip. Not Larry Sank.
00:09:17.220 Well, how do we know that they haven't shown that as well?
00:09:19.800 That girl who showed it would have also shown that other clip. If they did show, like for
00:09:25.380 instance, if today somebody shows a clip and says, here's Iran showing a clip of Tucker
00:09:29.840 with the president of Iran. Now I will say Tucker is helping out Iran. But this clip, I don't
00:09:34.980 see point of it.
00:09:35.460 Let me ask you a question. Can I just jump in? Adam, can I just jump in? Let me ask Pat.
00:09:39.660 Why would they show anything of Tucker? So let me ask you a question. If all of a sudden
00:09:44.860 they show a clip of PBD podcast in Russia, what does that mean? Exactly. If all of a sudden
00:09:50.100 they show a clip of us in Israel, what does that mean? We have to look at... So imagine
00:09:54.760 somebody comes out. You know, the Israeli TV is showing PBD podcast. We always knew they
00:09:58.600 were about... Pump the brakes, guys.
00:10:00.140 Can I give you one counterargument and then you can go? Can I give one? No, no, no. Can
00:10:04.060 I give one, Rob Schneider? No, Adam, you've jumped in. Can I give one? I'm going to jump
00:10:07.180 in. I'm a guest. I'm a guest. So let me speak. You are the guest. I'll go to Rob and then
00:10:10.740 I'll come to you. Go ahead, Rob. I know because what you have is you've already made your conclusions
00:10:14.580 and you're not listening to any evidence. And that's ignorant. You haven't given one shred
00:10:19.240 of evidence other than you're friends with Tucker. I am friends with Tucker. But I'm also,
00:10:24.260 that has nothing to do with it. I'm also a logical, rational person. And you are not being
00:10:27.980 logical, rational person. Rob, I want to hear your thoughts. Go ahead. In other words, you
00:10:29.800 wouldn't make a straw man argument, which you have. Let me hear Rob's thoughts. The thought
00:10:32.980 is simply this, Adam. You have to look at the totality of what somebody's contribution
00:10:36.880 as a journalist. And yes, I would have asked different questions. And PBD, you absolutely
00:10:41.560 would have been able to ask more pertinent questions that I think would have been helpful
00:10:46.060 in that conversation. And I was disappointed. But you have to look at the totality. The totality
00:10:50.200 of Tucker Carlson that he has made, I would say, the United States and the world a freer
00:10:56.060 place because of his journalism. Is it perfect? Is anybody's perfect? And I think in that particular
00:11:02.340 situation, it wasn't. And I would say corrupt in the sense of as if something was underneath
00:11:08.120 of it that wasn't as good as it could be. Just like a corrupt, you know, if you're making
00:11:13.280 a building and then the beams aren't right. There's something wrong in that conversation.
00:11:16.640 Well, whatever. The totality of Tucker Carlson is undeniably that he's made journalism a better
00:11:21.720 place. Is it perfect? No. But is it proof that he's being used by somebody on the team of
00:11:29.100 the ignorant team of Khomeini's internet group? Is that proof of anything? Absolutely not, Adam.
00:11:36.660 Can you give me a rebuttal with Adam? Absolutely not. The problem is you just walked into my
00:11:40.880 trap. Oh, here it comes. Because here it is. Who did you just call out in an amazing, incredible
00:11:47.540 way at Turning Point USA? What was her name? Candace Owens. Now, the totality of her contribution
00:11:56.540 to society has been incredible. I don't think so. However, the last year or two, she's been a
00:12:02.540 destructive force. And that's exactly what Tucker Carlson has done. I'm not talking about what he
00:12:08.020 said during 9-11. I'm not saying what he said during COVID. I'm saying on the last year, Tucker
00:12:13.500 Carlson, much like Candace, has taken a weird turn where you become anti-American, anti-truth,
00:12:22.300 and anti-normal American thoughts. So if you're going to call out Candace, how do you not feel
00:12:30.280 like calling out Tucker? Because they're doing the exact same thing. Show me the difference
00:12:34.780 between Tucker and Candace in the last year. The last four accusations that you made in a row
00:12:40.620 after making a decent argument about saying that it's shifted. Yes, there are shifts that's
00:12:46.600 happening, but you can't jump to a conclusion that he's anti-American. I think what you have-
00:12:50.900 I didn't say that he's anti-American. You did! You just said, let's go back and listen
00:12:53.700 to it. I'm saying- You said he was anti-American. You just said it. You just said-
00:12:57.520 You just said anti-American. Now you're denying it. The reason I said that is because he said,
00:12:59.800 I bought a house in Qatar because I'm American. If you want to be pro-American, go buy a house
00:13:05.340 in Detroit. Go buy a house in Phoenix. Adam, that's a silly argument. That's a silly argument.
00:13:10.100 Are we saying that Tucker Carlson hasn't making a drastic turn over the last 12 months where
00:13:14.920 average people are like, what's up with him? But wait a minute. I say he has.
00:13:18.760 Okay, that's my point. No, but that's not- That is my point. No, but that's not-
00:13:21.640 But these are- Okay. We can say, yes, he has. There are concerns. Why is he defending
00:13:29.060 Islam, Muslims, and the Middle East as hardcore as he is? Yeah. Valid points.
00:13:33.740 That's a valid question. That's my-
00:13:35.300 But the other part here, we have to be very careful. If all of a sudden somebody plays a
00:13:42.220 clip in Russia, in Israel, in Iran, in any of the countries that are enemies, and they
00:13:48.340 show a clip of us, what are they going to say? Are they going to say, wait a minute,
00:13:52.500 we always knew? No, no, no. Pump the brakes. I will say it if they show it of you, Adam,
00:13:56.520 I'm going to go, yes. If they show one random clip, just like Anna Polina, Anna Polina,
00:13:59.560 we all said, guys, I was taken out of context. We all defended her without even knowing.
00:14:03.980 Yeah, but normal people are that. Nobody in their right mind should defend Tucker because
00:14:07.840 he's done a hundred of those clips. All right, let's go to the next story.
00:14:09.680 Vinny, his gear, Faith Over Fear, tens of thousands of pieces, sold out in a couple
00:14:16.600 weeks. Tell us about Faith Over Fear, Vinny.
00:14:18.360 Well, just letting everybody know, I appreciate everybody that's getting on board. I saw a guy
00:14:22.800 at the airport that was wearing the Faith Over Fear. I was at a diner, and some guy patted
00:14:26.740 me on the back and was like, hey, what is that all about? And he wanted to know what Hebrews
00:14:29.440 11, chapter 1 was, and we got into a really good conversation. And I know I always talk about
00:14:33.660 Faith Over Fear being like in the Bible with a centurion soldier whose kid was healed where
00:14:38.900 Jesus just said, go, because of your faith, it's going to be healed. And the woman that
00:14:42.580 had the bleeding issue that pushed through the crowd that just touched Jesus' edge of
00:14:46.940 hem of his clothing, and he was healed. So I want people to know that that's back in
00:14:50.580 the biblical days. Faith Over Fear still applies today. It's, you know, it's what's starting
00:14:54.840 a business when the numbers scare you. Speaking the truth when silence feels safer. Fear waits
00:15:00.220 for comfort, and faith moves with conviction. You guys can go on there right now. I have
00:15:04.600 another, we have a hat that's coming soon. I don't want to give it away, but you guys
00:15:08.360 can go to, is it, is it FLB? VTmerch.com. Oh, VTmerch, go to VTmerch.com. Guys, we have
00:15:14.500 hoodies, we have hats, uh, rock it, and let people know where you stand. I love it. Go
