00:00:00.880 I'm Kelly Kennedy. I've been called a hope dealer for leaders and with over 300 episodes

00:00:19.120 yet.

00:00:19.740 Let's talk about Iran. Okay. Trump says Iran's Ayatollah should be very worried. Okay. Let's see.

00:00:34.000 Page 25, Rob. I do think you have a clip on this one and I think there's a tweet as well from the

00:00:39.880 White House yesterday. President Trump warned that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei should be

00:00:44.420 very worried during an interview on Friday, on Wednesday, amid rising tensions between Washington

00:00:49.360 and Tehran. Here's the president.

00:00:51.580 Does the Supreme Leader in Iran be worried right now?

00:00:54.960 I would say he should be very worried. Yeah, he should be. As you know, they're negotiating

00:00:59.820 with us. I know they are, but the protesters have said, you know, where are the Americans?

00:01:03.880 You promised them we would have their back. Do we still have their back?

00:01:06.240 Well, we've had their back and look, that country's a mess right now because of us.

00:01:10.600 We went in, we wiped out their nuclear. So that's the question. If we wiped them out.

00:01:14.820 We have peace in the Middle East. Yeah.

00:01:16.540 If I didn't take out their nuclear, think of it. If we didn't take out that nuclear, 0.59

00:01:21.520 we wouldn't have peace in the Middle East because the Arab countries could have never done that. 1.00

00:01:25.100 They were very, very afraid of Iran. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:28.140 They're not afraid of Iran anymore. We wiped out those beautiful B-2 bombers. One's right over there. 1.00

00:01:33.760 It was a beautiful little model. Those beautiful B-2 bombers went in and they hit their target every single

00:01:40.380 bomb and obliterated it. And because of that, they were going to have a nuclear weapon within one 0.57

00:01:46.360 month. Yeah. Within one month, they were going to have a nuclear weapon. Yeah.

00:01:50.340 That was a big threat that they're not going to have it anymore. But if we obliterated, what's the deal

00:01:55.840 about? I mean, if there's no more, are they, are they trying to restart the nuclear program? Well,

00:01:59.200 I heard that they are. And if they do, and I let them know, if they do, we're going to send them

00:02:03.200 right back and do their job again. So you're understanding that they tried to restart it and

00:02:06.940 that's why you're threatening force. They tried to go back to the site. They weren't even able to

00:02:11.100 get near it. There was total obliteration. But they were thinking about starting a new site in a

00:02:16.460 different part of the country. We found out about it. I said, you do that, we're going to do very bad

00:02:22.240 things to you. Yeah. Rob, you have the tweet as well, where they're saying to stay away from

00:02:28.980 Iran. If you're American, leave in early February, 2026. The U.S. Virtual Embassy in Iran issued a

00:02:35.500 warning repeating that Americans should leave Iran now, if possible. Have a plan for departing Iran 0.91

00:02:43.100 that does not rely on U.S. government help. Flight cancellations and disruptions are possible

00:02:48.720 with little warning. Check directly with your airline for updates. If you cannot leave,

00:02:52.240 find a secure location with your residents or another safe building. Have a supply of food,

00:02:57.020 water, medications, and other essential items. It just came out yesterday. Avoid demonstrations.

00:03:02.020 Keep a low profile and stay way aware of your surroundings. Monitor local media for breaking

00:03:07.220 news. Be prepared to adjust your plans. Keep your phone charged and maintain communication with family

00:03:12.320 and friends to inform them of your status. This is not a regular warning, folks, that's being given to

00:03:17.820 people. I like the avoid demonstration part. Well, I mean, you know, let me say a couple of things

00:03:22.980 on Iran because I'm pretty hawkish. You know, I supported the president launching the B-2 bombers 0.97

00:03:29.460 after Israel had taken out the air capabilities, the air defenses that Iran had, and going out and 0.79

00:03:35.420 taking out those facilities. I think that was the right decision. We've been talking about it for years.

00:03:40.780 Obama talked about Iran having a nuclear weapon. Clinton talked about Iran having a George W. Bush

00:03:45.220 talked about it. And you know what they all agreed? Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. So for 20 years,

00:03:49.760 we've agreed that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Trump was the first one to do something about it

00:03:54.220 and launch the attack. I supported that. I do think now is not the time to back out, right? We told the

00:04:01.800 Iranian people we were coming to help. Now, I'm not for boots on the ground that I don't think will be 1.00

00:04:05.680 successful. But this idea that we can enter another JCPOA with them? No, no, no. I was against the

00:04:12.080 first JCPOA. And if we're going to be consistent, it can't be like, oh, we were against it when Obama

00:04:16.820 did it. But when Trump does it, we're going to be for it. This can't just be about nuclear weapons.

00:04:21.340 It has to be about how do we help the Iranian people go forward. Now, you know more about this

00:04:26.240 than than anybody. OK, this isn't just like what happened in Venezuela, where if you just take out

00:04:31.480 the supreme leader, like everything else will be fine. No, there's a whole list of people that come

00:04:36.940 after that. So this is a lot more complicated. Now, the Iranians only want to talk about nuclear. 0.93

00:04:42.200 That's that's that's their negotiating team. I said, we're not talking about ballistic missiles.

00:04:45.780 We're not talking about, you know, the people and their rights. Now, look, if we can through a deal,

00:04:51.940 right, get some of those things, I'm very interested. But if the deal is only on nuclear

00:04:57.160 weapons, then then it's JCPOA all over again. And you know what? If I'm the supreme ayatollah,

00:05:02.340 you know what my goal is, even though he's an old man. My goal is I just got to survive three

00:05:06.940 years. I just got to get past Trump. I'll get him into a deal. I'll get past Trump because the

00:05:12.720 next guy, the next guy ain't going to do this. And Trump can't fall for it. Now, he's got people

00:05:18.420 around him. I think Marco is leading him in the right direction. Vance sometimes concerns me because

00:05:22.960 he's an isolationist. But but Trump's got to recognize it's him or nobody. I mean, that's that's

00:05:29.840 where we're at when it comes to Iran. Like Trump, don't like Trump. They look at Trump as crazy as

00:05:34.960 they are. OK, and that works in that area of the region. Jared, I think I agree with you on us 0.98

00:05:42.160 intervening. I saw videos yesterday. I couldn't even send them to Rob because of how bad people

00:05:47.720 talk about protesters and stuff like that. They are IRGC is driving through crowds. And I saw people

00:05:53.520 getting completely run over. I saw those. And you know what I'm talking about. So I can't send it to

00:05:57.460 Rob. Two things I think. Well, first of all, I don't think Trump and we know how he plays this

00:06:02.240 this chess. He's not going to divulge our plans of attacking or not to some reporter that the

00:06:07.980 network absolutely despises him. I want to ask you a question, Jared. Do you think because I remember

00:06:12.140 when everything was getting ramped up and looked like we were going to go. And then Trump made a

00:06:15.680 comment about Reza Pallavi, the prince of the king's son. Do you think, Jared, some of this is not

00:06:22.620 stalled, but kind of slowed down because Trump doesn't have confidence that Reza could take the lead

00:06:27.160 because, Jared, at the end of the day, if we go in there and we do a strategic strike, which I think

00:06:30.920 we could take out everybody, the fact that this guy's hiding, we know exactly where he is right

00:06:34.940 now, all day, all the time. Do you think we're kind of holding back because they don't have a

00:06:39.160 leader because somebody's going to have to step up? No, I actually think if you look at what happened

00:06:42.760 in Venezuela, right, which from a military standpoint, whether you, you know, I argue that, you know,

00:06:48.620 the president doesn't have that ability to do that without coming to Congress. Although, yes,

00:06:52.160 it's happened in previous presidencies. But if you look at the strike itself, it was 100% successful,

00:06:56.640 right? In and out, no boots on the ground, no lives lost, accomplished the mission. I think

00:07:02.280 that they recognize if they're going to do something, it has to be flawless. They didn't

00:07:06.500 have the assets in the region. So they've been moving more and more and more assets in the region.

00:07:11.780 By the way, we heard from Venezuela, they were practicing and practicing, right? All of that

00:07:16.360 stuff is going on now. They're planning for all sorts of contingencies. But look, you know,

00:07:21.500 what comes next? Let's say the regime falls. What comes next? Nobody knows. The idea

00:07:26.620 that we're going to install somebody, I don't think that's going to be accepted. But that's going

00:07:30.960 to be up to the Iranian people. I will say one thing, right? We have heard a lot about, you know,

00:07:37.400 other countries and about, you know, war crimes and, and, you know, this and that and their leaders.

00:07:44.080 They've killed tens of thousands of people here in these protests. And we may never know how many,

00:07:48.820 we may never know the real, the real number. And but because it's not being fed to people every

00:07:54.500 single day on TikTok, on the platforms like other conflicts, the American people really don't know

00:08:00.280 what's been what's going on there. Investing is all about the future. So what do you think is

00:08:06.040 going to happen? Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point. I think it would come down to

00:08:10.720 precious metals. I hope we don't go cashless. I would say land is a safe investment. Technology

00:08:17.000 companies, solar energy, robotic pollinators might be a thing. A wrestler to face a robot. 0.93

00:08:22.620 That will have, that will have to happen. So whatever you think is going to happen in the

00:08:27.420 future, you can invest in it at Wealthsimple. Start now at Wealthsimple.com.

00:08:43.100 So, let me go. Go ahead. So there's a genocide going on in Iran right now. Straight up. Their 0.94

00:08:55.520 regime is killing tens of thousands of their own people, allegedly. So where are the protests?

00:09:03.920 Where's the Gaza crowd? Where's the social justice warriors? Why are you guys all so silent? Not one

00:09:10.540 word. Not one encampment? Not, not one sign? You know, when, when ice kills somebody, there's a

00:09:17.660 protest with signs in minutes. Not one sign? Social justice warriors on the left? Nothing?

00:09:24.160 There's no gays for Iran? No, there's no gays for Iran? I didn't see that. No, the Grammys, 0.91

00:09:28.360 you're not, you're going to, you're going to say, uh, no one's illegal on stolen land? You're not

00:09:32.760 going to say one thing? But the tens of thousands of people that are killed in a week in Iran,

00:09:38.680 really? This is what we're doing. So when people look at your movement and go, bunch of hypocrites,

00:09:44.780 nothing. They just hate Israel. Because when the Iranian people kill people in their, the regime 1.00

00:09:51.000 kills people, their own people, you judge a regime on what they do to their own people.

00:09:55.960 They're murdering their own people. And you mother suckers are silent. Your silence is what people are 1.00

00:10:04.100 noticing. I'm sorry. So I don't know what USA is going to do, but I don't know what the people of

00:10:10.200 Iran are going to do. Cause here's the one question. How many more dead Iranian bodies are we going to 1.00

00:10:15.540 need before the world goes? All right, guys, it's too much. Because they said genocide in Israel and 0.96

00:10:21.680 Gaza literally three days after when they know that no, no, the next day, the next day, next day,

00:10:27.140 but I hear zero genocide. So forgive me if we no longer care what the gaze for Gaza crowd of the

00:10:35.340 free Palestine crowd has to say. If you're going to stay silent on what they're doing in Iran,

00:10:40.420 it's absolutely disgusting. Tom, it's, it's been said, but you and you and Jared said it. I've gotten,

00:10:46.280 I don't have anything to add. Yeah. If you look at this here, U S Iran nuclear deal.

00:10:51.640 Uh, uh, Rob, is this the one, what does it say? Uh, 74% before August, 74% they're going to get a

00:10:59.980 deal. Oof. And that just jumped. I mean, that jumped in hours. That's 24 hours. If you look at the amount

00:11:06.900 of the volume on it is $81,000. Rob, can you go to the other one with Khamenei? Look at this one

00:11:12.620 here. Ali Khamenei as a, out as a Supreme leader. Look at the amount of, uh, uh, uh, money they've

00:11:19.920 placed on this one here. Look at the volume. $16.75 million, Vinny. $16.75 million saying he'll be out

00:11:30.160 by September 1st. I think right now, this is if he, if he just dies of natural causes, do you win?

00:11:35.920 I think so. That's a very good question. Or is the prediction that still counts? He's still out.

00:11:40.900 He's out. He's definitely out. You know what's interesting about this?

00:11:43.540 He's going to go up to heaven and have his 72. No, I don't think, I don't think about,

00:11:46.800 I don't think. What's very interesting about this, Kalshi, Pat. What's that?

00:11:49.840 Is they say he's out. 100% say he's out. 21% says it'll be before April 1st. 32% says it'll

00:11:59.100 be before July 1st. So now that's 53, 54. Then 37% of it'll be September 1st. So that's 84, 93,

00:12:07.780 94.1. So 94% is saying he's going to be out. You see what I'm saying? They all say he's

00:12:13.400 out. It's just when. That's our Tom Kornacki on the ones and twos right there. He knows what's

00:12:17.280 going on. Well, he got the .1 wrong, but for the rest of it, he did right. So if you do

00:12:20.220 the math, Tom, the .1 would be .7. But I'm not going to correct you. Every time, it's a

00:12:24.300 decimal. He always forgets the decimals, the guy. Look, he's turning red. Come on, Tom.

00:12:29.440 I didn't want to carry the one. And the one that's going to be missing is Khamenei.

00:12:34.380 Yeah. But going back to it. Good save, Tom. Going back to it. I think what is going on

00:12:39.500 right now is the Iranian people are truly waiting for Trump to get this done. Yeah. 0.97

00:12:47.560 And if he doesn't do it, there isn't anybody else that can get it done for them. And it

00:12:52.060 could be another 20 years. Oh, man. If 20 years. You're assuming. I thought they don't want

00:12:56.900 foreign influence, though, Pat. Another 20 years before anything else takes

00:13:01.640 place where they'll have an opportunity of a guy like this capable of doing it. But

00:13:05.900 the part that they have to understand with him, when I sat with him and we did the

00:13:09.700 podcast, he specifically said, I said, will you intervene? Will you drive pressure

00:13:15.220 to Iran? Will you? He says, I don't know. We have to stay fluid. Every strategy is

00:13:19.940 going to be different with everything we do. He says, but Patrick, we already have so

00:13:23.200 many problems in America right now that we have to fix. We have so many problems.

00:13:26.900 So that's not good for Iranians because that's not what Iranians want to hear. 1.00

00:13:30.760 Of course. Of course.

00:13:31.500 That is a message where you're seeing the Donnero Doctrine like this. But I also, the

00:13:38.060 part that doesn't change for me with this is, he is so unpredictable. You have no idea what's

00:13:46.340 going on at all. The moment he thinks that you think he's going to attack here, he doesn't

00:13:51.100 attack. And then he attacks the moment you think he's not going to be attacking and then

00:13:54.400 he attacks. That's his way. That's his, that's has been his motto so far. So we'll see what

00:13:58.960 will take place. But the reality of it going back to it, I don't, I don't know. I don't

00:14:03.900 know if there is anybody as a replacement right now. Like you said earlier, allow the people

00:14:08.000 to select who they want and who they want their leader to be. We have no idea what's going

00:14:11.960 to happen. I do think if it doesn't get done, I think a lot of criticism will go, maybe not

00:14:20.040 by the RP community because the RP community, RP can never do anything wrong in their eyes

00:14:24.760 at all. He can never do anything wrong in their eyes. I think in their eyes, he's their,

00:14:29.360 he's their son. In their eyes, he can't do anything wrong. But if this doesn't get done,

00:14:33.780 I put a lot of the onus on him. And I said it from the beginning because he's never had

00:14:38.920 this close of a shot to get this thing done. And again, every time I say this, people get upset,

00:14:43.480 but that's my position. It hasn't changed. Pat, one follow-up on this, if you don't mind.

00:14:47.120 Tell me. It seems like the people of Iran have the most hope they've had maybe in 47 years.

00:14:53.620 If there was, you know, like there's the fear greed index when it comes to the economy and

00:14:57.640 markets. Yeah. Where is the Iranian people on the hope despair index? Lower than four weeks ago,

00:15:05.200 lower than two weeks. It's been declining. It's probably the lowest in the last four weeks.

00:15:09.760 Well, we said, we said help was on the way. I mean, we didn't say it. The president said help

00:15:14.360 is on the way. Right. I mean, let's just be clear. If Obama said help was on the way and then no help

00:15:20.660 came. Let's expect one. They're crossing those red lines. No, but like everyone would have called

00:15:25.340 them out like they did when they said, when we said this is a red line in Syria and then it wasn't a

00:15:29.080 red line. Trump said help is on the way. If help doesn't come. The president recognizes something,

00:15:35.200 I think, in his life. Right. You know, I think he realizes, you know, he's he's got three years

00:15:39.480 left. His presidency is an older. He's an older guy. You know, like this is a he's trying to put

00:15:45.000 his stamp on things. OK, if he backs away from this, that will be part of his legacy versus the

00:15:53.480 opposite, which is this is not just about the Iranian people. He can fundamentally change the entire 0.99

00:16:02.440 region immediately. The world. Yeah, the world. But you made a good point. China would suffer. 0.75

00:16:09.500 Russia would suffer. Oh, but you have to realize Turkey's calling him saying don't do anything.

00:16:15.180 Qatar's call him saying don't do anything. These are people that are very, very important players

00:16:22.440 in the Middle East. I don't even think Saudi wants him to do anything. So if he's getting those calls

00:16:28.220 and those are good partners and they don't want him to do anything and he's getting that close,

00:16:33.380 question becomes who's going to convince him to do something? Not going to be China, not going to

00:16:37.600 be Russia, not going to be Modi. Who's it going to be? Just Israel? Is Israel going to be the only 0.64

00:16:42.520 one that's going to say do it? Well, don't believe what you read publicly. Yeah. Right. Like so the

00:16:47.020 Saudis are never going to come out and say, please do this. They're going to come out and say we're

00:16:51.660 against it. You can't use our airspace. We're not going to help. Privately, conversations are

00:16:56.920 different. So like sometimes you see you see like, oh, Mr. President, please don't do this.

00:17:02.660 When is it happening? When's it going to happen? Right. And especially with the first when we when

00:17:06.900 we did those B2 bombers, Saudi was also saying, please don't do it. We use we use their airspace.

00:17:12.900 OK, so what do you think they're saying in private then is in public? No, I think the UAE said can't use

00:17:18.580 our airspace. I think this is the most important thing to MBS is to have it. I think what what I

00:17:24.640 gather from what Saudi Arabia wants to accomplish is I think they recognize for the Middle East to

00:17:30.800 emerge as a major economic region, which it has the potential to do. This is a necessary piece.

00:17:37.120 You're never going to be able to become what you want to become. What's the holdup? What do you think

00:17:42.100 is the holdup? I think personally, when we went into Venezuela, we took on Maduro. We we by the way,

00:17:47.760 we set the plan that you talked about, Jared. We went to the number two and number

00:17:50.880 three and say, hey, listen, you guys were all going to get wiped out. Follow in line,

00:17:54.240 do what we're going to say. And they're kind of holding it together. Because think about it.

00:17:56.860 The military still has to be in charge. The government still has to run. And with Khomeini,

00:18:01.140 who's going to be the number two guy? Another crazy person that's going to there's no negotiating 0.83

00:18:05.360 with that sense. So I'm saying that's why I think, Jared, we didn't go. He kind of is holding

00:18:09.420 back because if you take out Khomeini, which, by the way, they can take him out like that.

00:18:13.160 Who's number two? Another crazy anti-American death to America, death to everybody. I think 0.99

00:18:19.780 I think they went a little bit too far, but I don't think Trump is not going to do it.

00:18:23.060 But the Israelis showed you could take out multiple people at a time. Right. And so 0.92

00:18:26.760 listen, it takes a while to put those. Yeah, I think he'll do it. So I'm good with pause.

00:18:32.380 Right. And time. But I'm not good with never. I think he'll do it. I think he's going to do it.

00:18:38.620 On the hope, despair chart, if you want to have like a tough versus fake tough chart,

00:18:46.100 Iran is fully on the fake tough chart. For years, death to America. Like Maduro, come and get me.

00:18:52.540 Oh, yeah, we'll come and get you. The death to America chance. The death to Israel, the death 0.98

00:18:57.780 to England, the death to the West. And you can't. You've never been in. You've never won a fight. 0.57

00:19:02.740 All you do is fund proxies. Your Triple H crew with Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, you're funding 0.85

00:19:08.560 Islamic Jihad. You haven't won a fight since the 80s. Trump is unpredictable. So you're 40 years

00:19:14.640 of not winning anything. And you're still talking tough, Ayatollah. I think at any point, if they

00:19:19.640 want to take them out, they could. The people that would suffer the most, which clearly Ayatollahs 1.00

00:19:25.140 and the Mullahs don't care, are the Iranian people. The number one question is, how many Iranian

00:19:30.200 lives have to die before this regime falls? Because tens of thousands didn't move the

00:19:35.480 needle one bit. Well, guess what? The fact that they just told all the people there, the

00:19:39.520 embassy and everything like that, watch Trump. The best time for him to do it would be halftime

00:19:43.760 during Bad Bunny's performance, just to make everybody look away from that thing.

00:19:48.360 Are you reading the cables? Are you reading the international cables?

00:19:51.700 Getting back to Pat's question. Take a look at history. We moved Maduro out when we knew

00:19:57.980 that whether it's CIA or it's other things or knowing who's behind him, that there's going

00:20:02.240 to be some relative stability and something progressing behind it. When we went and got

00:20:06.320 Noriega and plucked him out of Panama, there was something that was relatively stable. We 1.00

00:20:11.880 at least knew what was going to come up behind it. Neither of those destabilized. Now you go

00:20:16.680 take a look at right now, we have history. Twice, twice, we armed the Mujahideen and got the 0.98

00:20:24.560 Russians out of Afghanistan, but there was no leadership to flow in. And it became even 0.50

00:20:28.940 more crazy than it was before the Russians were there. Then what you saw what happened 0.95

00:20:34.400 to Saddam Hussein. And there was no backup plan and it went nuts in Iraq. So I believe America 0.97

00:20:41.420 is waiting until they can invoke and kind of control who and what comes up there. Because

00:20:47.720 if you just take them out, history shows you in that side of the Middle East, what flows in

00:20:53.220 can be far worse and more uncontrollable. And we're not talking about the oil, right? So the

00:20:57.480 problem also is, is that if, you know, if you take out a couple of people, right, and all of a sudden

00:21:03.020 they, there's just mass chaos and they stop producing as a result, you know, oil prices are going to

00:21:08.400 spike. And so he's hearing that as well. But, you know, listen, again, I think the president has to

00:21:14.560 realize that it's him or nobody. He's got a period of time to do it. If he doesn't do it, then,

00:21:21.220 then the Iranian people, this, this is their future. If you're watching this and you want to 0.98

00:21:26.700 insure yourself, do yourself a favor and go buy the shirt allegedly, because when you're going

00:21:33.660 through moments like this, never has there been a more important time to walk around making sure

00:21:41.040 everybody knows you lean on the word allegedly, because that's the biggest insurance policy you

00:21:47.440 can have nowadays, as long as you use the word allegedly. So if you want to protect yourself,

00:21:52.860 go to vtmerch.com, get yourself an allegedly shirt or a hat, walk around at work with your

00:21:59.280 family, with your friends, and just say, allegedly, this is what I heard. You will be protected just

00:22:04.920 like many others do. We're in the allegedly gear. And it is one of the greatest conversation

00:22:09.340 starters. No matter where you're at, people look at you, they smile, and it goes into a conversation.

00:22:14.000 I'm curious, in a court of law, Jared, you would know this, if you're wearing that shirt and you're 0.57

00:22:18.820 talking just out of your butt and you're saying crazy stuff, in court, he's just like, hey, I didn't 0.81

00:22:23.400 say it out loud, but the shirt is saying it. If you enjoy this video, you want to watch more videos 0.99
