00:00:00.000 J.D. Vance is still going to Islamabad, 18 hours, and word on the street is that IRGC is not going to show up.
00:00:09.300 U.S. is saying they are going to show up, and it'll be interesting to see what ends up happening here. Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:14.900 Hi, Kevin. So negotiations are back on, despite some back-and-forth reporting that we had seen earlier on in the day.
00:00:21.100 The White House tells Fox that Vice President J.D. Vance will be in attendance,
00:00:25.060 and he will be leading the delegation back in Pakistan once again,
00:00:28.820 And it comes as the clock is ticking to reach a new deal, because we know that this current ceasefire deal, this two-week deal, is set to expire on Wednesday.
00:00:36.840 So there's a lot of diplomatic efforts ramping back up once again to land a new deal before then.
00:00:41.960 After those historic face-to-face talks last weekend, Vice President Vance will be joined once again by Envoy Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner.
00:00:49.560 Yesterday, Iran said that it received new proposals from the U.S.
00:00:53.160 and the country's deputy foreign minister warned that a framework of understanding
00:00:56.720 must be agreed to first. President Donald Trump today posted on Truth Social, writing,
00:01:01.880 quote, we're offering a very fair and reasonable deal, and I hope they take it, because if they
00:01:06.120 don't, the United States is going to knock out every single power plant, every single bridge
00:01:11.380 in Iran. So the president facing some quick criticism because of those words this morning,
00:01:16.240 but also over the war in general. Take a listen. American troops have died. Others are being
00:01:22.440 injured and Americans are paying a dollar
00:01:24.440 more for gas because of President
00:01:26.300 Trump's war of choice. I think it is
00:01:28.400 very, very... You're positive right here. By the way,
00:01:30.300 while this is happening, Iran refuses to
00:01:32.380 join latest round of peace talks
00:01:33.840 as Trump sends top-end envoy
00:01:36.600 to Pakistan. Rob,
00:01:38.340 I think you got a video on this one as well. Claim U.S.
00:01:40.340 has unrealistic demands. 0.96
00:01:42.620 Iranians are saying unrealistic demands. 1.00
00:01:44.540 Tom, what do you think is going to happen here? 1.00
00:01:46.320 So, I felt like
00:01:48.380 this was coming all weekend.
00:01:50.780 It's like, the shoe's going to drop.
00:01:52.220 Here we go. They're they're either going to break the ceasefire or they're going to do something.
00:01:57.080 I was almost certain. I'm just just kind of waiting for it.
00:02:00.280 And then I saw, hey, the blockade was serious because, you know, they radioed to a ship.
00:02:05.720 Hey, you better hang on. You know, you're going to get hit.
00:02:08.740 And they hit the engine room. They said, now you guys all evacuate. Get out of there.
00:02:13.040 So they were trying to hit the ship. But at the same time, you know, be and it's hard to use this word in war,
00:02:19.820 but to be humane about it, to say, hey, I don't want to kill your sailors,
00:02:23.480 but that ship's going where it shouldn't be going, bang.
00:02:26.980 And that happens.
00:02:28.200 You want to play that real quick, Rob?
00:02:29.300 So this is the clip Tom is talking about.
00:02:31.300 Go for it. 0.95
00:02:34.160 He's a gangster.
00:02:37.620 Motor vessel Tosca.
00:02:38.940 Motor vessel Tosca.
00:02:40.820 Vacate your engine room.
00:02:42.600 Vacate your engine room.
00:02:44.060 We're prepared to subject you to disabling fire.
00:02:48.720 Not listening.
00:02:49.820 Not listening.
00:02:52.880 Just watch.
00:02:54.400 It's coming.
00:02:54.980 It's coming.
00:02:59.220 So they hit the engine.
00:03:05.200 And then this is what you're talking about, Tom, that they took over the ship.
00:03:08.840 Yep.
00:03:09.460 And this is a five-inch gun.
00:03:10.880 These aren't torpedoes.
00:03:11.840 They're not trying to sink it and create an environmental disaster.
00:03:14.300 They're trying to put two right through the hull into the engine room and disable it.
00:03:18.940 Sort of like, I warned you, and now they've got to get tugboats and tow it off someplace.
00:03:23.300 And that's the—when you're in the middle of a blockade—I was reading about this this weekend—this is the military technique when you don't want to have, like, oil and a huge environmental crisis on the shores of maybe innocent countries.
00:03:35.940 Not the one on the north, but certainly there's several on the south that are just sitting there.
00:03:39.980 And so, like I said, I was waiting for Iran to break the ceasefire or to refuse or to be difficult, like right at the last minute. 0.77
00:03:48.280 They're playing along, playing along, playing along, playing along, bang, and then this on the blockade. 0.77
00:03:53.560 So to me, this kind of happened right on time.
00:03:56.840 This is what I was expecting.
00:03:58.440 At the last minute, things are going to crack. 0.98
00:04:00.960 No, it just brings up something that we've talked about a lot, which is asymmetrical warfare, that Iran can kind of be reckless. 0.88
00:04:06.340 It can push things. 0.85
00:04:07.000 It just has to get through one time, has to have one mind go off.
00:04:09.960 It has to disrupt one thing.
00:04:11.340 Trump has to be 100 percent right 100 percent of the time.
00:04:15.300 And, you know, it's really interesting because it becomes a global issue.
00:04:19.240 So Trump's not just worried about the United States.
00:04:20.980 Now he has the pressure of the entire world on his back, which is just such a hard place to be in.
00:04:25.720 So I'm hoping this comes to some kind of conclusion fast.
00:04:29.960 I'm hoping this doesn't continue to drag on and drag on and drag on.
00:04:32.740 Adam.
00:04:33.860 So there's talks going on in Islamabad, Pakistan.
00:04:38.540 Islam-abad, Pakistan.
00:04:41.660 Do you think that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, with their capital of Islamabad, is being unbiased?
00:04:52.320 Maybe. I don't know.
00:04:53.680 It's actually the United States who chose Islamabad to hold peace talks.
00:04:58.280 Why?
00:04:59.180 Because where else are you going to go?
00:05:03.320 Islamabad basically is brokering a ceasefire.
00:05:05.520 You know, remember Trump brokered a ceasefire between Pakistan and India.
00:05:08.860 There's a relationship there.
00:05:10.520 We see what's going on there.
00:05:11.960 But the whole context of this Trump's war of choice,
00:05:15.500 Trump's war of choice, Trump chose this.
00:05:17.960 No, the United States, all our presidents, all our leaders,
00:05:22.980 they've been speaking out against this for almost 50 years. 0.95
00:05:27.180 Trump had the balls to do something about it. 0.97
00:05:30.480 The weakness, the fecklessness of the left and the woke Reich is actually alarming. 0.98
00:05:37.080 Rob, do you have that clip of the guy with Kamala Harris?
00:05:40.640 Kamala Harris, projected potential president, 2028, challenge her to run.
00:05:46.900 I don't know if you can fast forward this clip.
00:05:48.600 Here's a lifelong Democrat basically saying, I can no longer vote Democrat because of what? 0.73
00:05:54.620 The hypocrisy.
00:05:55.500 here's her basically saying the number one enemy the number one threat geopolitically is iran
00:06:02.460 this is kamala harris two years ago i want to know what changed can we go to the beginning of that
00:06:07.280 clip rob it's at the very beginning right when she says i'm a kamala harris voter it's the first
00:06:11.620 sentence i thought she would be a great president until very recently when i saw her comments about
00:06:17.340 the war in Iran I'm going to play some clips from before the election and from after the war
00:06:26.060 he's a Bills fan he needs to see what you think our country do you consider to be our greatest
00:06:32.240 can we play this Rob at 60 I think there's no okay stop okay we can't play it no point is
00:06:36.640 sorry about that Rob the point is she says Iran so our greatest what did he say enemy
00:06:42.520 did a greatest geopolitical threat whatever it was she said Iran what changed guys
00:06:47.160 I want to know what changed.
00:06:48.560 What changed is Trump did something about it.
00:06:51.020 So now the entire identity of the left is Trump's bad.
00:06:55.360 I wish one thing.
00:06:56.380 I wish the left loved America as much as they hated Trump.
00:07:01.340 It's crazy.
00:07:02.020 And if I can continue for 10 more seconds, you know, this flag that I wear everywhere,
00:07:05.600 I gave Tom one today.
00:07:06.860 You want to know the craziest thing?
00:07:08.420 People come up to me and they go, so you're Republican, right?
00:07:12.080 I go, why would you say that?
00:07:13.560 They go, because you're wearing an American flag.
00:07:15.080 I go, so what are you saying?
00:07:16.820 The American flag only represents Republicans?
00:07:19.680 They go, well, you know, like, yeah, Republicans tend to like the flag more.
00:07:24.440 I go, what a sad state of affairs, buddy.
00:07:27.140 That the American flag only represents one party?
00:07:31.660 What a shame.
00:07:32.700 I wish Democrats were more patriotic.
00:07:34.760 Well, my thing is there is no way that our government, the president,
00:07:39.880 everybody didn't know this is what they were going to get with Iran.
00:07:42.820 and you said Islamic Republic
00:07:44.860 these people are on a mission from God 0.90
00:07:46.720 they don't care about their own
00:07:49.100 citizens lives so
00:07:50.540 I'm shocked why this is a surprise 1.00
00:07:53.140 if you get into a wrestling match with a pig 0.98
00:07:55.160 and you come out and you go what the 0.99
00:07:56.940 I'm dirty
00:07:57.760 it doesn't make sense to me
00:08:00.240 they knew it was going to be like this
00:08:01.560 they're not going to quit
00:08:02.800 they're not going to stop
00:08:04.000 and that's why the two main parts of the mission
00:08:06.220 were taking over
00:08:07.600 getting rid of the Ayatollah and all those things
00:08:09.800 but the uprising, the people
00:08:11.560 This is not going to stop.
00:08:13.560 Do you think the IRGC and these maniacs are going to stop doing it?
00:08:16.960 This is going to be endless, Adam, because they're – think about it.
00:08:19.700 If you don't care about your own citizens, you have the army, they're going to keep – nope, nope, nope.
00:08:26.420 Because you know what they want to do?
00:08:27.880 They want – their mission is let Trump bomb all the plants. 0.91
00:08:32.340 Let Trump bomb all the oil plants so we'll show the world how messed up these people are and watch. 0.91
00:08:37.560 Because, dude, if they put – and by the way, it'd be their fault.
00:08:40.380 But if they do that, imagine how many people that aren't radicalized there
00:08:44.600 around the world are going to get radicalized because they're going to go,
00:08:47.000 oh, he is a tyrant.
00:08:48.320 So this – to Pat's question when we started this segment, 0.62
00:08:52.240 did this surprise you?
00:08:53.420 Not at all, Tommy.
00:08:54.540 No, not at all.
00:08:56.280 Because you're – like, how many times do we say we don't negotiate with terrorists?
00:09:00.440 Like, the leadership, the Ayatollahs, Tom, they're on a completely different –
00:09:04.740 Like they, they, when I say mission from God, Tom, that's who they're answering to.
00:09:09.920 They're saying God is making them.
00:09:11.340 Rob, can you pull up, can you pull up this clip I just sent you, which is all the presidents
00:09:15.420 are speaking about on Iran.
00:09:16.960 I just texted to you.
00:09:18.620 And yeah, this one right here, if you can play this, go ahead, Rob.
00:09:22.560 Formally announcing my intention to cut off all trade and investment with Iran.
00:09:27.300 Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or 0.87
00:09:32.260 our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction. Iran aggressively pursues these 0.91
00:09:37.280 weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom. 0.87
00:09:42.620 I strongly believe that our national security interest now depends upon preventing Iran from 0.62
00:09:48.620 obtaining a nuclear weapon. Well, I can say to you, Iran will never get a nuclear weapon on my 0.91
00:09:54.080 watch, as they say. This terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again. 0.66
00:10:00.240 they can never have a nuclear weapon yeah so everybody talked about it one guy is doing
00:10:07.200 something about it so you kind of have to see how you know this is this is another meme that's
00:10:11.420 going viral iran took hostages they're evil they're real threat they're sponsoring terrorism
00:10:16.020 they're killing americans they're building nukes we have to stop them okay you know it's like all 0.97
00:10:21.180 right i'll do it no you're the enemy you're the bad guy you know that's doing something like this
00:10:24.640 there's yeah there's certain uncomfortable realities that americans have to accept because
00:10:29.100 Iraq really changed the sentiment of war in the United States for a very long time. 0.70
00:10:33.900 That was, you know, it should have been Iran, not Iraq.
00:10:37.160 Exactly. 0.92
00:10:37.860 But the big reality here that everyone has to accept whether they like it or not 0.56
00:10:42.220 is you have a radical Islamist regime that lied not only about its nuclear development,
00:10:47.860 it enriched uranium well past 60%, it's the only non-nuclear country in the world to do that,
00:10:52.380 but also lied very clearly about its ballistic missile range.
00:10:55.940 And those are two very scary things.
00:10:57.200 even if you're not scared of the uranium, they've proved to us they lied about the range of the 0.75
00:11:01.100 missiles they are developing. And going from intermediate-range ballistic missiles to long-range
00:11:04.700 ballistic missiles is not a big jump. And we do not have any type of blanket missile defense system
00:11:10.680 in the United States. It makes us very vulnerable. So do you want to, you know, we keep pushing it
00:11:14.860 back, pushing it back, pushing it back. And people say, we've been saying this for decades. Yes. But
00:11:18.780 there is a breaking point. Like I said earlier, Iran only has to be right once. If that day comes 0.98
00:11:23.800 where they do have long-range ballistic missiles,
00:11:26.060 even just dirty bomb-tipped, right?
00:11:28.100 They don't have to actually be nuclear warheads.
00:11:30.620 That is devastating for the United States.
00:11:33.900 So, again, do you wait? Do you wait? Do you wait?
00:11:35.840 No, Trump did the right thing.
00:11:36.820 But here's my question to you.
00:11:38.720 I was in the Air Force. He was in the Army.
00:11:40.920 We're not going to sit there and pretend like we're four-star generals
00:11:42.760 with all the military strategic planning.
00:11:45.620 But, okay, you know what the leadership...
00:11:47.380 Tom, let's... Maybe we're in the Situation Room.
00:11:49.560 Okay, guys, they have that capability.
00:11:51.560 We bombed.
00:11:52.020 We took out their nuclear capabilities.
00:11:54.820 Okay, how are you going to win this? 0.70
00:11:57.320 Because every time you kill a leader, there's another one coming in.
00:12:00.960 It's not about that.
00:12:01.300 They control the arm.
00:12:02.120 But here's the thing.
00:12:02.760 I got an idea.
00:12:03.540 Son of a big pallet full of money.
00:12:05.120 That's what I'm thinking.
00:12:06.000 No, Obama, we can't do that.
00:12:07.200 Anybody have an extra Salem?
00:12:08.420 But my thing is this.
00:12:09.240 How do you achieve victory?
00:12:10.840 So let's just say the missiles are gone.
00:12:12.500 The nukes are gone.
00:12:13.560 The leadership is still there, and they're never going to listen to you.
00:12:16.700 Yeah, so there's, again, an uncomfortable truth.
00:12:18.660 There's a difference between being able to exert external force and being able to exert internal force. 0.87
00:12:23.660 The idea that we'll be able to win a victory over Iran where they can no longer, you know, push internal force is very unlikely. 0.94
00:12:33.740 That's the truth. 0.97
00:12:34.280 It's an almost impossible battle.
00:12:35.760 You have a regime there that's willing to massacre its own people.
00:12:39.180 But the idea that we can set them back decades in their ability to hurt externally, sadly, is, again, it's an uncomfortable idea that you're putting them back in the Stone Age.
00:12:48.220 But that is the only way you protect the rest of the world
00:12:50.780 At some point
00:12:51.540 But remember those people
00:12:53.480 Those millions of people
00:12:55.160 They're sitting there like wait a minute
00:12:57.140 I really want to address this with you
00:13:00.280 Because I feel like we're going in circles sometimes
00:13:03.060 And I love you
00:13:03.860 Hear me out
00:13:05.100 You're focused on the people of Iran
00:13:08.060 I hear you 0.98
00:13:09.300 Hold on let me clarify
00:13:11.340 On top of the nuclear
00:13:13.700 The epic fury
00:13:15.000 I love that 1.00
00:13:16.760 But being from Iran, our family's from Iran, at the end of the day, all that, thank God they bombed all that stuff. 0.60
00:13:23.180 What about the people that were dying, Adam, that were like, yeah, help us here.
00:13:27.140 And now it's just like, well, the nukes and stuff are gone.
00:13:29.920 Good luck.
00:13:30.640 Help is on the way.
00:13:31.440 Help is here.
00:13:32.320 I mean, Trump has been talking about this since he started running for election.
00:13:36.360 We just showed the clip of every single president talking about this.
00:13:39.180 Trump did something.
00:13:40.160 Yes.
00:13:40.740 Marco Rubio, Trump, they've laid out their agenda.
00:13:43.780 We're going to take out all their military assets.
00:13:47.260 Their Navy's in the bottom of the sea.
00:13:48.980 They can't produce new military weapons.
00:13:51.300 There's rumors that they're putting shadows of planes out there.
00:13:55.040 So the U.S. is bombing shadows because they don't have real planes.
00:13:58.120 Okay, nuclear ambitions.
00:13:59.780 Put that aside.
00:14:01.260 You, Vincent, my brother, are hyper-focused on the people of Iran, as I understand. 0.99
00:14:07.320 I think that's great.
00:14:08.480 Of course we want that.
00:14:09.900 Here's the sad reality.
00:14:10.900 So we don't continue to go and do this.
00:14:14.460 They're going to have to figure that out on their own.
00:14:17.540 We talk about we don't want boots on the ground.
00:14:20.580 Well, which one is it?
00:14:21.940 Because we can't do regime change unless we put boots on the ground.
00:14:25.600 So you can't have your cake and eat it too.
00:14:27.600 We can do all the heavy lifting.
00:14:29.740 But if there's going to be actual change in Iran, the people have to do that.
00:14:33.840 Now, you might say, how are they going to do that? 0.61
00:14:36.300 I don't know.
00:14:37.360 Pat doesn't know.
00:14:38.420 We don't know.
00:14:39.140 What we can do, like Elon said
00:14:41.220 The external situations
00:14:43.340 The nuclear, the warheads
00:14:45.100 The shooting at 2,000 miles to Europe
00:14:47.400 That's done
00:14:48.440 So now whatever happens internally
00:14:50.580 We literally mean, God bless, Allah bless
00:14:53.640 Figure it out
00:14:54.740 But we can't do the revolution for you
00:14:57.140 Like the United States revolution
00:14:58.740 When we did this, we're like
00:15:00.160 Hey guys, the British
00:15:02.020 It's like, no, no, you gotta do this, George Washington
00:15:04.140 You gotta sign the Declaration of Independence, guys
00:15:06.700 And that's what we did
00:15:07.900 And that's the unfortunate situation.
00:15:09.860 Adam, to be fair, we have a lot of support from France.
00:15:12.120 Our revolution, France gave us, you know, deception.
00:15:16.940 But were they boots on the ground?
00:15:19.120 Were they fighting or was Americans fighting?
00:15:22.340 There were French.
00:15:23.600 There were French here.
00:15:24.940 You're telling me that the French fight? 1.00
00:15:27.060 Come on now, buddy. 1.00
00:15:28.480 At a minimum, we should provide the Iranian people with some kind of auxiliary support. 0.86
00:15:32.320 However, we can do that.
00:15:33.420 We are.
00:15:33.740 Are we not?
00:15:34.440 We tried, but no, the Kurds took the guns and they left.
00:15:37.220 we tried to help them they were just like that story kind of came and went i'm not even sure 0.60
00:15:41.040 so did the guns but pat let me let me bring this back to you kurds took them i think that you
00:15:47.880 understand everything that trump is doing from the nuclear ambitions to the military to the
00:15:52.580 warheads of everything the blockade the economic warfare focus on the people if that's what video
00:15:58.680 what should the people of iran do at this point the 10 000 50 000 whatever the number
00:16:03.120 Of the greatest people who were fighting against Sajjid and Bernal being killed,
00:16:09.000 is their sentiment of fighting on the ground?
00:16:11.360 Are they going to weaponry?
00:16:12.940 What are they going to do from a people perspective?
00:16:15.760 But I want to understand this.
00:16:16.820 Yeah, so a couple things on the blockade of what's working and what's not.
00:16:21.140 Every day the blockade is there, Iran loses $400 million a day.
00:16:25.160 $400 million a day?
00:16:26.240 Every day the blockade costs Iran's government, the IRGC, $400 million a day,
00:16:31.320 $12 to $13 billion a day of them selling oil.
00:16:36.200 They can only, experts say, they can only handle it up to 16 days.
00:16:41.140 Some are saying two months.
00:16:42.880 So they're right now like this.
00:16:44.500 They're getting choked up. 0.84
00:16:45.300 So the idea that they put a pause on it kind of helped Iran a little bit. 0.71
00:16:50.500 Now, if they extend this and they have to block it,
00:16:53.280 and you're saying they're stopping, what was it, three or four ships?
00:16:55.460 Hey, what are you doing?
00:16:56.480 Turn around.
00:16:57.080 You ain't doing this right now.
00:16:57.920 You ain't selling it to nobody. 1.00
00:16:58.940 Get your ass back into place. 0.99
00:17:00.520 We're serious about this. 1.00
00:17:01.980 Now Iran is sitting there saying, holy shit, this is becoming real. 0.99
00:17:05.660 Now what am I going to do? 0.99
00:17:06.880 I need the revenue.
00:17:07.780 I need the money.
00:17:08.380 I need the income. 0.95
00:17:09.460 So how will Iran react?
00:17:11.060 Yesterday there was a 60 Minutes episode on Iran.
00:17:14.680 And, Rob, were you able to find out about the guy that's on it or no?
00:17:19.960 Were you able to find out who it is?
00:17:20.960 So this is Matthew Bunn, okay, Harvard Kennedy School.
00:17:25.000 Matthew Bunn, to just kind of give you an idea who he is,
00:17:27.320 He, Bunn was served as a White House Office of Science and Technology from 94 to 96.
00:17:34.840 94 to 96, who would that be?
00:17:37.180 Was that senior is who he was under?
00:17:39.180 Clinton.
00:17:39.640 Clinton.
00:17:40.160 Clinton was 92.
00:17:41.520 All right.
00:17:41.820 So 94, 96 is Clinton.
00:17:44.060 So it's not like this is a Trump guy.
00:17:46.260 He is doing an interview yesterday with 60 Minutes.
00:17:48.740 And 60 Minutes doesn't know what this guy is going to say.
00:17:50.420 Of course, we can't play the clip, but we can just show what he says with the content
00:17:54.880 in the tweet, Rob, if you want to go to it.
00:17:56.620 I highly recommend watching this.
00:17:58.520 Everybody should watch this tomorrow.
00:17:59.700 Just don't play the clip, Rob, because you know what 60 Minutes does.
00:18:02.520 So UN, last time UN inspector were able to verify Iran had 970 pounds of 60% enriched uranium.
00:18:11.560 If enriched further, the stockpile could produce 10 to 11 nuclear bombs,
00:18:15.040 says Matthew, a former White House nuclear advisor who works at the Harvard Kennedy School Belfer Center.
00:18:20.980 And then he also says this, which was kind of shocked a lot of people.
00:18:24.380 Iran has been lying about its nuclear weapon effort for over 20 years now.
00:18:30.020 He says, a former White House nuclear advisor who works at Harvard Kennedy School.
00:18:34.500 Remember, this is a Clinton guy.
00:18:37.580 If he's a Clinton or a Bush person, he's not a Trump person.
00:18:40.440 Let's get that clear.
00:18:41.680 Because Bushes don't like Trump. 1.00
00:18:43.320 Clintons don't like Trumps.
00:18:44.580 They're on the same page.
00:18:45.440 So, you know, there is the media market, what everybody reacts to and what they say.
00:18:50.800 then there is the people that were in there having dealt with Iran
00:18:53.300 and knowing what these guys are like and how they lie when they're negotiating.
00:18:57.140 Iran's in a very bad place.
00:18:58.480 The challenge with the people is the following. 1.00
00:19:00.500 They don't have somebody there,
00:19:02.600 and I don't know why the president is not locking on to Reza Pahalevi.
00:19:07.200 If he did, his strategy would be different.
00:19:08.740 So think about it this way.
00:19:11.180 Did you guys see Maria Corina Machado came up outside in the balcony?
00:19:18.820 How did Venezuelans react to it?
00:19:20.520 Did you see this clip?
00:19:21.660 Rob, can you find this clip?
00:19:23.020 Just type in her name and how she was received.
00:19:26.000 It was beautiful on how she was received.
00:19:29.060 What Trump wants to do and what he doesn't want to do, it's right there.
00:19:33.140 Watch this, Vinny.
00:19:33.920 Just watch the reaction, how she's being received.
00:19:36.340 Is this in Venezuela?
00:19:37.240 Can you go back to the tweet so I can read the details there?
00:19:39.900 Venezuelan opposition leader, Corina Machado, walked out to a sea of thousands of supporters in Madrid.
00:19:45.200 Madrid, got it.
00:19:46.180 Machado has dedicated her Nobel Prize.
00:19:47.720 She is refusing to meet Spain's leftist, PM Pedro Sanchez, right now.
00:19:52.360 Instead, meeting with right-wing opposition, right-wingers must rise across Europe.
00:19:56.600 Okay, so play the clip, Rob.
00:19:58.600 Play the clip.
00:20:00.320 Is that real?
00:20:01.920 No, this is real.
00:20:04.520 Holy moly.
00:20:07.140 This is Spain.
00:20:08.300 Yeah, that's surprising.
00:20:09.280 Spain loving her.
00:20:10.020 That's right.
00:20:10.880 This is Spain.
00:20:11.440 Now, you've got to realize that Spain's leader has been also getting a lot of attention
00:20:15.400 because Trump, in comments he made, he went against him, so he's kind of playing.
00:20:18.920 But this is kind of where I'm going with you, Adam, to answer your question about the people.
00:20:23.460 So the difference between Reza Pahlavi and her is what?
00:20:27.020 She got a Nobel Prize.
00:20:28.820 She went to the White House.
00:20:30.480 She gave it to Trump.
00:20:32.180 Everybody thought Trump was going to get behind her, and Trump's like,
00:20:35.080 no, your people got to vote for you. 0.58
00:20:36.860 So if you look at the pattern there, what do Iranians have to do with this guy? 0.98
00:20:42.540 If Iranians really want to play, use a similar type of a playbook 0.62
00:20:46.460 because this guy is getting audiences that are showing up as well.
00:20:49.440 But Trump is not going to get behind to say, we're going to endorse you,
00:20:52.300 the same way he did with Maria Karina Machado.
00:20:54.580 So, honestly, he has to be able to convince the U.S. government
00:21:00.580 that the military has flipped on them and is supporting him,
00:21:05.540 and he simply doesn't have that.
00:21:07.800 You could have the people.
00:21:09.340 You could have audiences showing up in Germany.
00:21:11.120 You could have audiences showing up all over the place.
00:21:12.880 And by the way, they are for this guy.
00:21:15.080 But you've got to get the military to flip.
00:21:16.840 If the military people are not flipping, you ain't going to have a lot of –
00:21:20.340 you need some of the military, even if it's 5%, 10%, 20%, to stand up and say,
00:21:25.640 hey, this is what we're going to be doing.
00:21:27.060 It hasn't happened yet.
00:21:29.020 And so influence-wise, they've got to find somebody internally.
00:21:33.220 Iran's market's not going to let that happen because the Internet,
00:21:36.040 where people cannot communicate the message out,
00:21:38.320 it's still kind of tough to be able to do it.
00:21:40.160 So Iran's issue is different.
00:21:42.540 So the president is probably thinking the idea of a regime change
00:21:46.320 and a regime collapse, the regime, he can technically say it's changed.
00:21:51.760 Why?
00:21:52.080 Because it's new people, hasn't collapsed.
00:21:54.880 If IRGC is there three months from now, there is no collapse.
00:21:58.080 You can say Khamenei is not there, his son took over. 0.76
00:22:01.060 You can say you kill 50 different people. 0.99
00:22:03.420 So as long as IRGC is there, the Iranian people are going to be screwed 0.99
00:22:07.660 because of the way they're going to be treated.
00:22:09.380 Quick follow-up on that to you.
00:22:11.680 So you're talking about the power.
00:22:12.800 Who has the power?
00:22:13.520 By the way, has anyone even seen the new Ayatollah?
00:22:16.080 Allegedly, he's in a coma. 0.99
00:22:17.580 I know you think he's gay. 0.99
00:22:18.380 Whatever the Kelly's. 1.00
00:22:19.020 I didn't say anything.
00:22:19.980 I don't know what's going on.
00:22:21.520 But follow the money here.
00:22:23.100 If you're saying that they're losing $400 million a day, okay?
00:22:26.380 How many billions is that going to be this month?
00:22:28.040 $12 to $13 million a month.
00:22:29.880 They can't afford to lose that kind of money.
00:22:32.280 They're choking them out.
00:22:33.540 Yeah, they are.
00:22:33.980 And if they can't pay their proxies, which is done,
00:22:37.800 If they can't pay their IRGC, the people have no money.
00:22:42.060 What's going to happen to the society?
00:22:43.360 If you choke them out, how do you get rid of the IRGC? 1.00
00:22:48.180 That's the big problem.
00:22:49.300 So if they're saying, well, you know, they've agreed to a 15-year suspension on, you know, uranium enrichment and all this other stuff, what the hell is 15 years?
00:23:00.900 The problem, like, for example, I don't care if, you know,
00:23:05.100 certain countries have nuclear enrichment or the power if they're allies
00:23:09.860 and they're friendly.
00:23:10.940 Who do you care about not having it?
00:23:12.700 People who are screaming off the top of their lungs,
00:23:14.600 death upon America.
00:23:15.460 Yeah, that's a little bit concerning to give you that.
00:23:17.900 And say 15 years?
00:23:19.580 So what makes you think in 15 years, how old is AOC in 15 years, Rob?
00:23:23.620 50?
00:23:24.480 I don't know how old she is right now.
00:23:25.560 34?
00:23:26.320 33?
00:23:26.880 35? 0.91
00:23:27.620 How old is she today? 0.84
00:23:28.580 36?
00:23:29.240 In 15 years, she's 51. 0.69
00:23:30.980 Say America gets crazy. 0.51
00:23:32.580 Who was Obama doing the whole song and dance thing with the kids, with Mamdani in a classroom?
00:23:38.120 I don't know if you guys saw that or not. 0.82
00:23:39.840 So Obama was at first too careful to get too close to an Islamist socialist, semi-communist. 0.90
00:23:46.720 He did. 0.97
00:23:47.420 Now they're doing this.
00:23:49.380 Optics-wise, go ahead and play this clip, Rob.
00:23:51.460 What do you think this is?
00:23:52.340 You can play the clip.
00:23:53.540 What do you think this is?
00:23:54.740 Tell me what optics are.
00:23:56.000 If the number one Democratic influencer in the last 30 years gets in front of an—is this not a form of endorsement?
00:24:04.200 Yes.
00:24:04.600 This is an endorsement.
00:24:05.780 Well, that's an indoctrination right there.
00:24:07.320 Shortly after, by the way, his wife was caught with all those crazy comments online. 0.99
00:24:11.780 Tax and gay—yeah. 0.99
00:24:12.620 And Obama's right there. 0.97
00:24:14.520 So meaning they're going to—
