Transcript
00:00:00.000
The president comes out and puts out a thread 48 hours to Iran.
00:00:10.560
And he says, Tuesday will be power plant day, bridge day, all wrapped up in one in Iran.
00:00:17.960
Open the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell.
00:00:35.100
Like if you think about the word, the meaning of Allah is God.
00:00:38.620
So while they're doing this, then all of a sudden you see some clips coming out.
00:00:43.380
By the way, one thing with Iran, you've got to give them credit for their Lego videos.
0.51
00:00:46.860
Have you seen these Lego videos they're making to make fun of the president or Hexet or all that stuff?
00:00:51.220
Anyways, we don't need to get into the Lego video.
00:00:53.660
But, Rob, did you see the video of them targeting the $30 billion plant that OpenAI has in, is it in UAE?
00:01:05.460
I think it's somewhere there that they have a $30 billion plant.
00:01:19.220
So if you just type in OpenAI Iran $30 billion, okay?
00:01:33.420
If you look at the notes, I have it in the notes all the way at the top.
00:01:37.520
So I'm going to text it to you anyway so you have it.
00:01:44.480
Iran is saying, really, you guys want to play this hard?
00:01:47.020
We're going to go after all your, you know, infrastructures that you have.
00:01:58.300
The guy behind this history photograph does a phenomenal, phenomenal job.
00:02:02.260
The Islamic regime released a video threatening to bomb OpenAI's $30 billion data center in Abu Dhabi.
00:02:17.020
they're playing the games as well of course they're playing the games as well landmark
00:02:31.520
one gigawatt ai data center projected announced in 22 project that's in 2025
00:02:36.480
200 megawatt face opening in 2026 partnership with top tier american enterprises look at this
00:02:43.820
Apollo, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs.
00:03:00.260
So the AI guy that you guys have, he sucks actually.
00:03:07.180
So, Tom, you see this message from the president on Easter.
00:03:15.060
And then you see the report comes in saying Iran is willing to have the conversation about the nukes.
00:03:21.140
That, hey, we're willing to not do anything with it.
00:03:34.840
is that could be 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium enough to develop 11 nuclear bombs
00:03:50.460
460 at 60% that can develop 11 nuclear bombs is what they're saying.
00:03:55.780
So now there's rumors of maybe they want to negotiate, maybe they don't want to negotiate.
00:04:00.600
What do you think is really going on here, Vinny?
00:04:02.920
Well, first of all, I separate the statements they make from the true intent of the regime.
00:04:08.660
The true intent of the regime has shown time and time again, and Vinny, we've been watching this together, that they're full of crap.
00:04:20.860
A standard actor usually wants to protect something.
00:04:27.120
With whatever is left, they will rule and they will do it their way.
00:04:32.920
They killed 3,000 of their own people and just hand-waved over it.
0.84
00:04:37.020
But it sounds – there does appear to be a crack in the door, what they're talking about here on this.
00:04:43.460
Because remember, if they tell us, here, take the 1,000 pounds, and then we're going to consent to this monitoring and stuff, you know, that would surprise me because their ultimate goal, Pat, this current regime, the ultimate goal is just pure death.
00:05:03.200
And they are trying to attack their neighbors to get the neighbors to convince Trump to stop.
00:05:15.380
This video is consistent with their threats and activity path that we've been seeing for the past two weeks.
00:05:20.920
Attack the friends and get the friends to be whispering to Trump, please make this guy stop.
00:05:30.260
So I see it as sort of unchanged in their strategy,
00:05:47.680
Propaganda is going to be played on either side.
00:05:50.660
Rob, can you play the video that I just sent you?
00:05:55.160
apparently they sent out, who's the new guy, Pat?
00:06:02.340
They put this video, and apparently it's him, Rob,
00:06:09.740

Normally, because he party like that, he should have glow sticks.
00:06:53.140
Yeah, exactly what you think that they're saying.
00:06:59.980
What drives me crazy is that we're at a point right now where I feel like people are literally, Americans, literally are hoping that we lose.
00:07:10.860
Again, and by the way, there's never going to be a war that we ever fight, that we ever fight, that every single American is like, yay, go.
00:07:18.120
I remember when I was in after 9-11 and George Bush and all the lies that we had about that.
00:07:22.480
yeah everybody bro the majority of us were like yay let's go and then we found out that it was a
00:07:28.220
lie and things shift but in this situation pat with these guys with what they're doing like
00:07:33.280
there's no internet you can't even hear what the people are saying but the leaders their leaders
00:07:39.700
are basically saying hey listen we will freaking nuke everybody we will kill everybody this is how
0.74
00:07:46.440
the war is going so trump by the way who do you believe more the irgc or do you believe donald
00:07:51.160
trump tom i believe that oh i believe trump if the irgc is speaking you know if they told me
00:07:59.160
what time is it i'd audit it yeah and then one thing pat the one thing that i saw uh because
00:08:04.680
apparently trump uh spoke with trey yankst he's the chief foreign correspondent for fox news rob
00:08:11.140
has this clip which i'm saying about uh like by the way that video that they showed the earlier
00:08:15.580
one that you showed they're showing all the other people that they're willing to strike in uae and
00:08:19.780
all that like is anybody else going to help pat is anybody going to do their part or do you think
00:08:25.880
that they are doing their part all the uae people all the people over there that i mean our assets
00:08:30.500
are at all these bases are they helping at all they don't have a choice vinny they have because
00:08:36.220
they're the neighbors yeah you know how it's like well i'm on neighbor watch if you live in the
00:08:41.720
neighborhood you best make sure the neighborhood is safe right if you're on neighbor watch and how
00:08:46.060
Is it militarily for them, or would it be monetarily coming from them, Pat?
00:08:51.660
Pay the $200, give us some money, do something.
00:08:54.200
If you're behind closer, what leverage do these Gulf states actually have?
00:08:58.260
Actually ask yourself, what leverage do the Gulf states have?
00:09:09.120
Like what do they, what do we need from the Gulf states?
00:09:20.340
Because you can't have your allies getting their asses handed to them because then you lose your allies.
00:09:23.920
So you need not Trump's the president's going to say we have enough oil to give it to anybody because we got Venezuela and we got, again, sequencing wise.
00:09:32.160
If they did it the other way around, Iran first, Venezuela next issue.
0.67
00:09:36.740
He does Venezuela first, Iran next, which means what?
00:09:40.600
If you need oil, we're in control of Venezuela right now.
00:09:43.360
So strategically, it was a brilliant move to do Venezuela first.
00:09:46.460
It's like, don't worry, we've got enough oil to give you, right?
00:09:59.120
I saw that the missiles hit the desalination plant and the hotel.
00:10:09.440
No, Vinny, honestly, what do you say to me at that point?
00:10:18.040
Just lean into the accent if you're going to do it or not.
0.68
00:10:20.200
No, you see, what I'm going to say, I said, Mr. President, what do you need us to do?
00:10:25.060
We need this guy to stop, but he's been doing this forever.
00:10:32.940
They've been saying, and the Saudis have been saying, you've got to finish the job here.
0.97
00:10:36.660
That's what they've been saying for the past three weeks.
00:10:44.240
And they said, Mr. President, we've got to finish the job.
00:10:47.580
So the Gulf states, not only do they have no choice,
00:10:50.380
but they've been looking toward economic future.
00:10:52.220
What have they been doing for 10 years in Saudi Arabia?
00:11:02.460
You see, they're desperately trying to connect more to the West.
00:11:07.840
So you're going to lean back, cross your arms over your chest and say,
00:11:10.700
Well, good luck with Iran. Let me know when it's over, Mr. Trump.
00:11:14.260
No, they're going to say, hey, you've got to finish the job.
00:11:21.400
Got you. And the clip that I was talking about, Pat, I think you saw it.
00:11:25.660
Trey Yanks is the chief foreign correspondent for Fox News.
00:11:28.500
He said the president sent guns to the Iranian protesters earlier this year.
00:11:32.900
And I'm assuming it was when the protests started.
00:11:35.900
And remember the Kurds that we were talking about?
00:11:37.720
The Kurds were getting armed and they were going to go and fight.
00:11:43.460
Now, the president also provided new details on what happened earlier this year
00:11:47.980
as the Iranian regime took to the streets and slaughtered what the president tells me
00:11:56.040
After that took place, President Trump told me the United States sent guns to the Iranian protesters.
00:12:05.000
We sent them through the Kurds, and the president says he thinks the Kurds kept them.
00:12:08.860
He went on to say, we sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them.
00:12:12.720
And so a number of headlines here from my conversation with President Trump, all of this taking place more than a month into Operation Epic Fury.
00:12:20.480
And in the aftermath of that successful U.S. operation over.
00:12:23.980
So, I mean, Adam, that's pretty like I remember we were talking about, should we send guns?
00:12:30.280
Apparently, from the president to him, we sent guns to the Kurds to give to the Iranian people to fight for themselves.
00:12:37.040
and he's saying that the Kurds never gave them the guns
00:12:45.360
Because you need them to pass the weapons down.
00:12:48.660
And so do the Kurds really want to be against the president?
00:12:56.580
So now you don't pass it down to the people because, what,
00:13:01.260
Did they promise that they were going to and they didn't?
00:13:10.220
What is the next request you're going to make that he's going to trust you now?
00:13:13.100
So now the problem is who does the president have an outlet to give the weapons to
00:13:18.820
if he chooses to do so that gets to the people?
00:13:23.840
I don't understand the logic behind, and I don't know all about the details of the Kurds stuff,
00:13:32.020
Well, listen, there's one key word that summarizes everything that's going on,
00:13:41.600
Open up the damn Strait of Hormuz or all hell will bring loose.
0.72
00:13:52.340
Do you happen to have the quote of what the leaders of Iran had to say?
00:13:58.840
If you mess with us, we're going to open the gates of hell.
00:14:03.960
because we think that this is a military war or a strategic war to end their nuclear ambitions.
00:14:13.200
Now they're talking about, you know, obviously we know sanctions and banking
00:14:18.620
But at the end of the day, here's what's really going on.
00:14:21.520
Whether you believe it or not, whether you want to say it or not, this is a religious war.
0.53
00:14:25.980
This is at its core a deeply, deeply ideological war.
00:14:32.380
so if you don't think that this is history repeating itself go look up the crusades and
00:14:38.500
of course Israel and Jerusalem are caught in the middle of this because it's all started this go
0.52
00:14:42.920
around on October 7th so here's what I know about the Islamic Republic of Iran they are willing to
00:14:50.640
die for this cause and this is why I respect the enemy they will die they will go to their death
00:14:56.520
they will become martyrs. They will practice jihad. They will go to see Allah for this,
0.93
00:15:02.120
and I respect that. At the end of the day, we just talked about how we are going to save our
00:15:07.480
boys' lives, the pilot that went down. There's a famous phrase in the Israeli and Palestinian
00:15:13.460
conflict, and it's this. They said, there will be peace when you value life more than you value
00:15:20.860
death. And this is who these people are. That's why you constantly hear they're a death cult.
00:15:25.520
my final point is this and i'll keep harping on this this is the number one most theocratic
00:15:31.540
regime in the world what does that mean there's zero separation between church and state or mosque
00:15:38.340
and state in iran you know in america we say well we get the first amendment you know you know
00:15:42.440
freedom the freedom to to join freedom to do this freedom to preach we have all our freedoms
00:15:46.880
in iran everything every decision every economic decision every social decision everything that's
00:15:53.380
made comes from Allah how do you defeat that how do you defeat an ideology I don't know but here's
00:15:59.460
what I know they think they're the good guys we know that we're the good guys all their neighbors
00:16:05.780
know that they're the bad guys but they think that they're the good guys so how do you defeat
00:16:09.760
but these but the but the the leaders the people that are in charge in Iran think about it they
00:16:15.600
can play this game Adam because you know what we know that there's like this is civilian casualties
00:16:21.540
that we're talking about you blow up all these things that we're talking about the bridges the
00:16:25.540
infrastructure the oil all that desalinization whatever it's the people are going to suffer
00:16:30.580
the guys that you think the guys on top are going to suffer these are military people they have
00:16:34.440
bunk they're chilling those guys are good they know that they're using the civilian population
0.91
00:16:38.700
as leverage and that's what i don't care about and the worst thing is pat we can't hear have and
00:16:43.440
i'm being i'm being genuinely inquisitive have we heard anything from the people i hear people in
00:16:48.240
la like iranians like you know shut up we need to we need to be you know free and all that stuff we
0.99
00:16:53.600
need to be liberated but boy i haven't heard anything from civilians at all in iran have you
00:16:58.600
you bring up a very good point thank you and i'll ask this question who cares about the people of
00:17:04.560
iran more the united states and the western world or the islamic of course they don't give it they
1.00
00:17:11.600
don't give a damn but here they just care about but there's nuance there pat what percentage of
00:17:15.660
of the people in Iran are done with this regime, sick of this regime?
00:17:20.680
The number, the study done by Gammon in Netherlands is 81% who are done with the IRGC.
00:17:27.780
There's a video of a young lady, Rob, if you want to play this.
00:17:36.340
Can you go down to see if Grok asked a question?
00:17:40.760
While Adam gives his response, just verify to see if this video is a real video or not.
00:17:46.720
No, I mean, ultimately, what I would assume is that 20% of the country wants this regime to stay intact, right?
00:17:53.860
The loudest, most vocal 10% of the country want this regime to stay intact.
00:17:59.320
Where you have 80 to upwards of maybe possibly 90% of the country that is basically like, we are so done with this.
00:18:08.020
The fastest growing religion in Iran is completely agnostic, atheist, or even Christian.
00:18:19.060
And at the end of the day, and this is why I keep saying this,
00:18:50.700
But then you don't pass the weapons when the president's telling you.
00:18:54.400
Whoever the leader, if the story is true, and that actually happened,
00:18:58.240
whoever the leader is, you're an absolute moron.
00:19:02.780
If you told him that I'm going to pass it and you don't, you're a moron.
00:19:14.260
Again, I don't know the whole – we don't know.
00:19:17.000
But if that's exactly what happened, that the president is saying this, what are you doing?
00:19:23.880
The Kurdish military guy, he has this saying that I looked up.
00:19:27.160
I think what he said was, I have no friend but the mountains, right, where they live.
00:19:40.940
Can you pull up what percentage of, you know, what percentage of Iranians are Kurds?
00:19:46.400
Remember, these people have been abused on three sides.
00:19:56.880
Halabja, the chemical, right on the transition between Bush Sr. and Reagan.
00:20:03.240
This is what started the problems for the Kurds, where Saddam Hussein, I believe is Halabja, Halabja, something like that.
00:20:10.480
He used chemical weapons as a test and killed all these people in this village town.
00:20:22.840
So you would think that they would, with that history, you would think that they would have some favor to assist and to be part of a solution.
00:20:32.420
And by the way, in the interim, five hours ago, a report came from Wall Street Journal that apparently Israel just killed the number two guy in the IRGC.
00:20:40.300
The head of intelligence, Islamic Revolutionary Guard, Major General, Brigadier General reports say he's a high-ranking guy.
00:20:51.040
His name, Rob, if you see it, do you see it, Rob?
00:21:01.320
They just took him out a few hours ago in the heart of Tehran, Sunday night, it's military set.
00:21:07.200
So this is another guy that they're taking out.
00:21:14.580
The two guys that are negotiating on behalf of Iran.
00:21:19.160
One of the guys, Abbas, if I'm not mistaken, Abbas, if they take him out, how the hell are you going to negotiate?
00:21:28.000
Abbas Adogchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran.
00:21:31.320
there was a video of him showing when he was mourning the loss of one of his best friends
00:21:44.000
Like, this guy's become a hero and loved in Iran.
00:21:49.280
Like, the more and more war continues, this guy's right now becoming slowly the face of Iran.
0.99
00:21:58.840
If this guy stays alive, he could end up having a very, very –
00:22:04.060
But I think his upside, he can go all the way to the top
00:22:10.020
I was going to tell you, it's very lonely at the top if you're the Ayatollah.
0.97
00:22:15.080
Tom, if they take, like Israel, when I say they,
1.00
00:22:17.620
if Israel takes them out, how the hell are you supposed to negotiate?
00:22:31.700
What evidence do you have that Israel or allies can take out any of their top leaders?
00:22:39.480
Whoever I am in Iran, for whatever reason, I'd have a very hard time falling asleep every night.
00:22:50.180
What I would say to you, Adam, is the following.
00:22:52.480
If they take him out, I'm just saying this right now.
00:23:03.160
Let's just say if I, if I, the U.S., you saw the tweets, Rob,
00:23:07.640
that Iran has agreed to the nuclear request from America.
00:23:14.980
I sent it last night, and then Humberto started verifying my messages.
00:23:24.420
Yeah, Iran has conceded that they will not acquire a nuke, per Fox News.
00:23:33.920
And then others started retweeting that as well.
00:23:37.200
Rob, can you see on the bottom of that if Grok verified that or not?
00:23:40.420
Just go to the bottom and see if there's any kind of a verification on that, on what's going on.
00:23:45.900
So here's what you do that while you're doing it.
00:23:49.260
And you can just check the story and verify it.
00:23:55.380
If they kill Abbas, if they kill, there's no interest in negotiating.
00:24:04.940
So if you kill, you're going for all the marbles.
0.98
00:24:09.120
So now if Whitcoff and Kushner are actually negotiating with them
00:24:17.180
you never want to negotiate in the first place.
00:24:22.740
yes so then so then the criticism becomes look you really wink wink you're not trying to negotiate
00:24:28.380
trying to take them out yeah and by the way fair there's a lot of there's a lot of Iranians in Iran
00:24:35.580
that are like stop saying for them to stop and end the war we want this the Iranian people say we
00:24:42.380
want this we want we want you to come and finish even if our lives are on the line we want you to
00:24:46.940
