Valuetainment - “Reza Pahlavi Is NOT A Closer” - Critics SLAM Crown Prince As Future Leader Of Post-Khamenei Iran

00:00:00.000 The president comes out and says that a discussion about regime change, I don't know if you saw this, Rob, if you have the clip, he starts talking about regime change.

00:00:10.960 There's nothing wrong with regime change.

00:00:13.080 Trump floats Iran's regime change, even as the true impact of U.S. strikes is far from clear.

00:00:22.880 Here's what he says.

00:00:23.540 Let me read this to you.

00:00:24.460 And then, Rob, if you can pull up the clip from Reza Pahlavi when he comes out and posts a video about what he wants to be doing, this is it.

00:00:31.380 It's not politically correct to use the term regime change, but if the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change?

00:00:43.920 Mega.

00:00:44.500 Make Iran great again.

00:00:47.360 It doesn't sound as good as MAGA.

00:00:49.640 I'm willing to bet sometimes if you say YouTube may even flag and give you a strike because it sounds like a different word.

00:00:54.860 So it's M as mom, I as India, G-A, make Iran great again.

00:01:01.320 While these talks were happening, so now everybody fears.

00:01:04.560 Everyone's saying, oh, my God, what's going to be happening?

00:01:06.000 So on one end, Khamenei is sitting there saying, all of a sudden, if I'm older, if I don't know what to do, he puts out a tweet, Rob, if you can go to Twitter, if you don't mind.

00:01:16.500 I know I directed you this way, but if you can go to Twitter, go to my Twitter account if you could.

00:01:20.540 There's a tweet that he puts up.

00:01:22.220 Go back one if you could.

00:01:23.500 Right there.

00:01:23.900 So he tweets out and says, those who know the Iranian people, zoom in a little bit specifically on his tweet, zoom in a little bit on that one.

00:01:31.580 Yeah.

00:01:32.100 Those who know the Iranian people and their history know that the Iranian nation isn't a nation that surrenders.

00:01:40.480 Okay?

00:01:40.740 So he's trying to inspire 17.2 million views, exciting stuff.

00:01:45.220 Oh, my God, we're not going to back them from nobody.

00:01:47.460 And then if you go back one, then, there you go.

00:01:51.640 And then I repeat his tweet, and I say, those who know the Iranian people and their history know that you robbed $95 billion from the people. 0.99

00:01:59.320 Their network, family network.

00:02:00.680 If you can go validate this in a minute, we will.

00:02:02.520 Now, a lot of people on the bottom put Grok and say, is this true?

00:02:16.380 So, Rob, if you can go down on the bottom on the comment section, just click on the tweet and go in the comment section.

00:02:21.020 Somebody that says, Grok, is this true or not?

00:02:23.180 Go on the first one.

00:02:24.060 Okay?

00:02:24.220 Go on the first one.

00:02:25.280 Grok will respond.

00:02:26.380 Can you provide common?

00:02:27.940 No, go, go, go.

00:02:28.820 Can you provide?

00:02:30.840 Okay.

00:02:31.200 So, this is not a guy that's supportive of what I'm doing, right?

00:02:34.060 He doesn't like the fact that I'm in business.

00:02:36.420 That indicates 81% of Iranians in Iran reject the regime.

00:02:40.560 The 81% figure likely comes from a 2021 Gammon survey where 81% of 158,000 respondents in Iran rejected the Islamic Republic.

00:02:51.580 Weird.

00:02:51.940 Okay?

00:02:52.100 When you're hearing that.

00:02:53.240 So, now, Rob, if you can go back, do me a favor.

00:02:55.820 Copy, paste that tweet.

00:02:56.440 So, that's a yes.

00:02:57.360 That's a yes.

00:02:58.420 Copy, paste.

00:02:59.040 Okay.

00:02:59.380 Can you go back to my tweet, Rob?

00:03:01.380 No, the one that I put.

00:03:02.660 Copy, paste that, and go and put that in chatGBT if you could.

00:03:06.960 Just go put that in chatGBT.

00:03:08.380 Is this true?

00:03:09.460 Okay?

00:03:10.220 And type in, is this true?

00:03:12.580 Is this true?

00:03:13.920 Okay?

00:03:14.320 Put that in there.

00:03:16.400 And let's see what it says here.

00:03:18.800 Okay?

00:03:19.600 Statement.

00:03:20.140 Mass executions, 1988.

00:03:21.960 True.

00:03:22.360 After a fatwa by Ayatollah Khomeini in 1988, Iranian authorities executed between 2,800 to 5,000 political prisoners, mostly members of the leftist or opposition group, without due legal process.

00:03:35.180 Okay.

00:03:35.740 Let's see if the $95 billion is correct.

00:03:37.880 Can you go a little bit lower to see if the $95 billion?

00:03:39.640 The $95 billion, the $95 billion figure is estimated total assets controlled by the Supreme Leader Network, Satad, amassed by the family.

00:03:47.400 While many view this misappropriation, this is an article by Reuters, Reuters that said this.

00:03:51.980 And in chatGBT says 81%.

00:03:53.560 So while this is going on, Khomeini comes out and he says, well, we've got to figure out a way for us to have a solution.

00:04:01.040 So what does he do?

00:04:02.160 He's already trying to name his successor.

00:04:05.640 Rob, I don't know if you have that clip for the successor.

00:04:08.100 It's on page 8.

00:04:09.820 Iran's supreme leader reportedly names potential successors in the event that he dies.

00:04:15.600 Is this the one, Rob?

00:04:16.420 Yes.

00:04:16.680 It's a news clip talking about some of the potential successors.

00:04:19.160 Go for it.

00:04:19.540 Play this clip.

00:04:20.140 Iranian leadership is swiftly making preparations for a wide range of outcomes.

00:04:25.380 This comes as U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the country's military carried out attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites.

00:04:31.720 Reports suggest Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has instructed his nation's assembly of experts, the clerical body responsible for appointing the supreme leader.

00:04:39.720 How long is this video, Rob?

00:04:41.440 Two minutes.

00:04:41.960 Oh, stop it, Rob.

00:04:42.820 We can pause it right there.

00:04:43.940 One of the guys he is talking about is his own son.

00:04:46.700 So if you can go online and type in Khamenei son successor, Khamenei son successor.

00:04:54.040 If you type that, you'll see now they want to keep it within the family, nepotism, which, you know, it's nothing that they don't do in other countries.

00:05:00.180 So I'm not going to sit there and say they're the only ones that are doing it.

00:05:02.900 But he's talking about possibly his own son replacing him.

00:05:07.100 Now, right there, Khamenei picks possible successor amid war.

00:05:10.960 Son, he names three people.

00:05:13.700 Zoom in a little bit.

00:05:14.600 Son, Majaduah not among them.

00:05:16.520 Go a little bit lower, Rob, if you could.

00:05:18.280 One of the names that was coming up.

00:05:21.440 This is one of them.

00:05:24.960 There's other articles that are saying he's wanting his son to replace him.

00:05:28.180 Here's the reality of it.

00:05:29.180 While this is going on, Reza Pahlavi comes out and puts out this video.

00:05:34.700 If you have Reza Pahlavi's video, here's what he puts out.

00:05:37.960 Because this is what 7% of Iranians would like to see him go back to Iran.

00:05:42.160 Go ahead and play this clip, Rob.

00:05:43.120 That I am establishing a formal channel for military, security, and police personnel

00:05:50.700 to reach out directly to me, my team, and our expanding operation.

00:05:57.940 This is a secure platform to efficiently manage the growing volume of inbound politicians

00:06:03.900 Which speech is this, Rob?

00:06:05.780 This is where he calls for the Ayatollah to step down.

00:06:08.900 And seek him to join our movement.

00:06:13.120 For those patriotic members of our armed forces, the time is now to join the nation.

00:06:20.620 If you do, I will make sure your service to Iran is not forgotten and is celebrated.

00:06:29.120 This is not the one, Rob.

00:06:31.080 There's another one where he just straight up gets up there and says,

00:06:34.800 Can we, if you are willing to step down now, there's a,

00:06:40.980 I mean, you just have to go to his channel.

00:06:43.200 Going after Khomeini, because you know what?

00:06:45.400 That's basically saying, hey, I'm going to open up a channel.

00:06:48.180 All you, anybody that wants to get away from Khomeini, any colonels,

00:06:51.920 anybody in the military, whatever, I'm going to open up a channel, come to me,

00:06:56.040 which is kind of dangerous, because who knows who the hell is going to be coming over there

00:07:00.380 to maybe even sabotage him, which that, even that statement alone sounded like, you know,

00:07:06.580 sounded like somebody else.

00:07:07.980 It sounded very robotic.

00:07:09.300 I thought Fox had a 45 second clip.

00:07:10.580 It's a 45 second clip.

00:07:11.780 I'll find it.

00:07:12.400 Tom, you keep going.

00:07:13.380 So your thoughts on this, I'm going to find this clip and send it to Rob.

00:07:15.520 Go for it.

00:07:16.620 Tom.

00:07:17.360 Well, what I think is this is not definitive, right?

00:07:21.720 You're coming out and saying, I think it's time for you to step down.

00:07:24.320 I think it's time for you to step down.

00:07:25.900 It's like my dad saying, I think it's time for you to clean your room.

00:07:28.580 It's, it's weak.

00:07:29.680 It should be a full throated response.

00:07:32.020 And it says, you have outlasted your, your evil.

00:07:36.460 You've been, you've been able to be here this long.

00:07:38.880 You should be out of here.

00:07:40.620 The people of Iran, the leader, and that leader is me.

00:07:43.700 And I'm going to do ABC.

00:07:45.440 It's like, make America great again.

00:07:47.220 They said, what do you mean?

00:07:47.760 Make America great again.

00:07:48.760 I'm going to have jobs down here.

00:07:50.440 Inflation comes down.

00:07:51.560 Jobs come back.

00:07:52.720 Economic prosperity goes up.

00:07:54.020 It was very fast.

00:07:55.200 Where is he?

00:07:56.220 You know what I mean, Pat?

00:07:57.000 Normally leaders that like Trump that came back have like one, two, three or one, two.

00:08:01.800 This is what we're going to do.

00:08:02.740 Here's what he said.

00:08:03.240 And he kind of meanders a little bit on me.

00:08:05.160 Here's what I, here's, here's what he said.

00:08:06.400 I just want you to watch this.

00:08:07.580 And, uh, uh, you, you do the main thing when you see something like this is, does Khamenei

00:08:13.240 take this seriously?

00:08:14.180 Do Iranians take this seriously? 1.00

00:08:15.920 Does the world take this seriously?

00:08:17.260 Go ahead and play this clip, Rob.

00:08:18.280 So today I have a direct message for Ali Khamenei.

00:08:23.560 Do you step down?

00:08:25.940 And if you do, you will receive a fair trial and due process of law, which is more than

00:08:34.540 you have ever given any Iranian.

00:08:36.940 Okay.

00:08:39.840 Can I, can I get, yeah, I don't, me coming from an iPad.

00:08:43.400 Oh, my, my, my, just, I don't believe.

00:08:45.900 We hear you.

00:08:46.760 You, you understand?

00:08:47.540 I don't believe like, first of all, if you're speaking to somebody like that, I just directly

00:08:53.420 say like you've planned it.

00:08:54.800 He doesn't look like he even prepared.

00:08:56.720 And I don't believe, I don't believe that threat.

00:08:59.140 I don't believe it.

00:09:00.260 Yeah.

00:09:00.480 So when you, when you, when you hear that, you see that Adam, what are your thoughts when

00:09:04.340 you're seeing what's going on right now with Iran, you know, uh, regime change, the president

00:09:08.840 said there's a possibility of regime change.

00:09:10.540 A lot of people are saying, well, this was all planned.

00:09:12.980 They knew this was going to happen.

00:09:14.380 This is exactly what they wanted to do.

00:09:15.980 It's not like it's a, it's the picture of a perfect playbook.

00:09:18.920 First you do this, then you do that.

00:09:20.180 Then you deflect, then it's regime change, then you place someone there who is your

00:09:24.160 candidate to place in Iran, to bring back, you know, et cetera, et cetera.

00:09:27.920 And you make the second calling of the puppet and all this other stuff.

00:09:31.260 So Rob, if you can, I'm going to send you a clip of what Rudy Giuliani said about Reza

00:09:35.080 Pallavi that I want to respond to that as well.

00:09:36.620 But Adam, your thoughts on this before we, uh, before I share some of my thoughts.

00:09:40.820 So everyone's on the internet talking, everyone's talking about what's going on.

00:09:44.200 Let's start with first principles.

00:09:45.620 What is the most logical explanation of what is happening?

00:09:50.180 First and foremost, I would argue that more than anything, the Iranian people want to

00:09:56.040 be free.

00:09:57.280 So you just gave a stat that what 81% of people want to do away with the Ayatollah.

00:10:03.920 That might be incredibly low.

00:10:06.340 How many protesters do you see around the world calling for the death of the Iranian regime?

00:10:11.380 Everyone says online, this war is not against the people of Iran.

00:10:15.860 It's against the IRGC.

00:10:18.160 How many times have you used the, heard those acronyms?

00:10:21.120 In my opinion, this is going to be the second and the final Ayatollah to run Iran. 0.95

00:10:28.660 This gentleman is 86 years old, 86 years young.

00:10:33.160 He's almost as old as Tom, whose birthday it is.

00:10:36.000 Joking Tom.

00:10:36.580 But I don't know how much longer he's going to be with us.

00:10:40.700 There's no indication that if and when a new supreme leader is called to the catapult,

00:10:48.780 that the Iranian people will accept it.

00:10:51.280 In my opinion, this is the last and final Ayatollah to run Iran. 0.94

00:10:56.500 Yeah.

00:10:57.040 Very interesting to say something like that.

00:10:59.260 Here's what Rudy Giuliani said.

00:11:00.880 Rudy Giuliani yesterday comes out and says the following.

00:11:04.520 Now, here's the thing.

00:11:06.000 If you think about it, when is the last time you heard us even say anything about Giuliani?

00:11:11.100 It's been very quiet.

00:11:12.560 It's not been something that we've talked about.

00:11:14.460 It's not been something that, you know, we, you know, he's not been on the radar for too long.

00:11:19.940 Rob, if you're on his exorcist one, okay, perfect.

00:11:22.220 Reza Pallavi is the son of the Shah who was a brutal, hated dictator.

00:11:26.660 He offers nothing but a return to his father's corrupted dictatorship.

00:11:29.940 For decades, the Savak, his father's secret police persecuted, tortured, and murdered Iranians. 0.84

00:11:36.900 Rob, can you go on his ex, please?

00:11:39.120 Exactly what he's saying there, because I want to see the commentary of what people are saying under Rudy Giuliani's.

00:11:45.140 Here's the reality of it.

00:11:46.220 People sit there on the left, right, and center are critical of Reza Pallavi's father, you know, of what he did.

00:11:55.320 And you just go to the comment section right there, Rob.

00:11:57.220 I'd like to see what some of the people are saying to this tweet here.

00:11:59.820 And yet, despite all that, we're still infinitely better than the current regime.

00:12:04.020 True.

00:12:04.300 Keep going lower.

00:12:05.760 I don't know if this will come kind of, but I've never heard him disawas Savak, which makes me suspicious.

00:12:11.260 Why would we even be commenting on this?

00:12:13.120 The Iranian people should pick who is best to lead them, and hopefully they make the right choice.

00:12:17.500 Interesting take.

00:12:18.380 But then who?

00:12:19.400 When the regime falls, it is best replaced with a preferable leader, instead of doing a government project like this in Iraq. 0.70

00:12:25.680 He was not hated.

00:12:26.620 Please just stop.

00:12:27.500 You go down the comment section, a lot of people don't agree with him.

00:12:31.360 The father, King Reza Pallavi, changed the entire thing in Iran.

00:12:36.340 It was a complete different situation what he did in Iran.

00:12:39.120 Having said that, this is the one thing I want everybody to be thinking about.

00:12:42.880 If we are talking about a regime change in Iran, let's just say you do want to have a regime change in Iran.

00:12:48.820 What would work?

00:12:49.780 What would be the right way to go about this?

00:12:52.320 You know, I could come out with a 20-point plan on what we could do to change Iran in a heartbeat. 1.00

00:12:57.140 It wouldn't be a challenge.

00:12:58.380 I think the way to look at it, and if the Iranian people are watching this, is the following.

00:13:02.140 Muhammad Reza Pallavi, the son of Muhammad Reza Pallavi, is a kind man, is a nice man, is a smart man.

00:13:13.020 He could be a historian because he knows the history very well.

00:13:15.860 He speaks English.

00:13:16.740 He speaks Farsi fluently, French fluently.

00:13:19.380 He can do an interview in French and fluently have a conversation with anybody that wants to talk to him in French.

00:13:25.120 He has that element in place.

00:13:28.600 However, what the biggest challenge, I'm getting hit up left and right from Iranian influentials around the world, and this is what they're asking me. 0.95

00:13:35.800 Pat, this is another opportunity.

00:13:37.740 Isn't this great?

00:13:38.520 It looks like he's going to come back, and he's going to do this, and he's going to do that.

00:13:42.380 Here's the biggest problem that Iranians have, and you're not going to like me saying this to you. 1.00

00:13:46.540 And I'm talking straight to all the Iranian people around the world, that love and support Reza Pallavi as much as I love him and his family and what they did for Iran.

00:13:56.700 This is not a number one person.

00:13:59.680 He's not.

00:14:00.740 It's the same thing I said about DeSantis.

00:14:03.020 DeSantis is very good for his state.

00:14:04.960 He's a phenomenal governor.

00:14:06.140 We proudly live in Florida, but he's not a Trump.

00:14:09.520 There's Trump, then there's DeSantis.

00:14:11.980 DeSantis later on could develop into something like that, but we need a Trump.

00:14:15.600 Reza Pallavi has had 46 years to do something for Iran to go back to being free.

00:14:22.200 Hasn't happened.

00:14:23.340 Forty-six years.

00:14:25.140 Every five to ten years, Iranians have had a chance to topple the current regime. 0.90

00:14:29.080 Hasn't happened.

00:14:30.380 Every five to ten years you've had an opportunity.

00:14:32.700 Hasn't happened.

00:14:33.640 You can't teach tough leadership.

00:14:36.420 If it was all about knowing the history, having the right last name, if it was all about speaking different languages,

00:14:42.600 every day a new professor would be the leader of some kind of a country.

00:14:46.300 That's not how this works.

00:14:47.800 Tough leadership requires for somebody, when you look at the camera and you deliver a message, for somebody to believe them.

00:14:53.160 People believe Reagan.

00:14:55.320 People believe when Putin speaks.

00:14:58.040 People believe when Trump speaks.

00:14:59.940 People believe when certain leaders speak.

00:15:01.860 You believe them when they speak.

00:15:04.080 There's a certain level of conviction that you want to do.

00:15:06.860 Your eyes don't lie.

00:15:08.680 The way Iran ought to look at this moving forward is in the following way.

00:15:12.360 Iran needs to cut everything up and be a startup. 1.00

00:15:15.220 Look at it as a startup.

00:15:16.860 Bring in new founding fathers who help write a new constitution that Iran is built on.

00:15:23.060 That's what the mindset needs to be.

00:15:24.920 And those individuals, I think he needs to be one of the founding fathers of the new movement of Iran.

00:15:30.480 That could be a Benjamin Rush.

00:15:31.700 If you know the history of Iran, the history of the U.S. founding fathers, Benjamin Rush, a lot of people would say, was the man when it came down to becoming one of the founding fathers.

00:15:41.180 The man was brilliant.

00:15:42.220 He knew the history.

00:15:43.360 He had such a strong background.

00:15:44.760 He played a role.

00:15:45.380 He may have been the smartest guy in the room.

00:15:47.200 A lot of people could have said.

00:15:48.500 Never became a president.

00:15:49.880 But you go ask the founding fathers what role he played.

00:15:52.260 He played a very important role.

00:15:53.660 Who became the president?

00:15:54.880 George Washington became the president.

00:15:56.720 What other founding fathers ended up becoming president?

00:15:58.600 Tom, if I'm not mistaken, the first three were all founding fathers, right?

00:16:01.700 Thomas Jefferson's number three.

00:16:03.060 I think Adams is two.

00:16:04.480 Washington is one, right?

00:16:06.120 And you start going.

00:16:07.680 You're like, okay, there's that history there.

00:16:09.200 If Iran's going to go through this, you need brains for economy. 0.95

00:16:13.120 You need brains for military.

00:16:14.380 You need brains for history.

00:16:15.520 You need brains for law.

00:16:16.840 You need brains on how to write a constitution.

00:16:18.500 You need brains for how to put certain law and order in place where things change.

00:16:22.580 You need brains on how to fix the educational system.

00:16:25.140 You need all of those things to go out there.

00:16:28.880 We need somebody at the top as a leader to make it happen.

00:16:31.120 And I know the Iranian people don't want to hear this.

00:16:32.940 And they keep saying things like this.

00:16:34.100 They'll say the following, Vinny.

00:16:35.420 They'll say stuff like, what's the alternative?

00:16:38.360 What's the alternative?

00:16:39.480 Go find them.

00:16:40.580 Wake them up.

00:16:41.440 Bring somebody from Iran. 1.00

00:16:43.220 Wake them up.

00:16:44.180 Bring someone that you support.

00:16:45.740 Whatever the values and principles are.

00:16:47.560 Maybe it's somebody when Khomeini was living in France, they went and brought Khomeini from

00:16:51.840 France to Iran.

00:16:52.760 Khomeini wasn't living in Iran.

00:16:54.440 Khomeini was in France for 15 years.

00:16:56.160 They brought him back and they said, we think you're the guy that needs to be the leader

00:16:59.140 here, but there needs to be somebody that can close the deal.

00:17:02.900 Let me explain what I mean by closing the deal.

00:17:05.860 President Trump, 2024.

00:17:08.440 How many people you think could have handled what they did to him in 2023?

00:17:14.460 E.G.

00:17:14.900 Carroll, all the, your property is now worth $250 million.

00:17:19.600 It's an $18 million property, Mar-a-Lago.

00:17:21.740 That was sold for $20 million, like 60 years ago, you know, no, you know, give or take,

00:17:26.880 whatever the timeline is that he had to go through that every day.

00:17:30.080 He's at court.

00:17:30.780 They're embarrassing him.

00:17:32.300 Letitia James, the other lady that, you know, when they asked the question, did you 0.86

00:17:35.740 have sexual affairs with this woman?

00:17:37.000 And what does he say? 0.67

00:17:37.820 Oh, let me think about it.

00:17:38.740 Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, no.

00:17:40.400 Do you remember that?

00:17:41.420 Every day they're trying to mock him.

00:17:43.460 Who do you think could have closed the deal outside of him?

00:17:47.380 Who else?

00:17:48.060 You think Reza Pallavi is going to be able to close the deal?

00:17:50.860 Like, close the deal.

00:17:53.160 Sweet man, smart man needs to be part of the transition, need to be one of the founding

00:17:56.720 fathers if Iran does go through the next thing.

00:18:00.020 But if he is who he claims he is, he needs to be in a room with 50 other strong influencers

00:18:06.340 to be able to make this happen collectively.

00:18:08.580 That needs to take place.

00:18:10.200 Some of the people that have connections to many different countries, many different

00:18:12.900 industries, that leadership, that needs to happen.

00:18:15.480 If it doesn't happen, every 10 years, you're going to be like, oh, we're making a comeback.

00:18:19.040 Oh, we're making a comeback.

00:18:20.380 Oh, he's 84 years old.

00:18:21.980 It's too late.

00:18:22.540 Now what?

00:18:23.660 Now Khomeini's and Khomeini's have all these decades of being able to control Iran into 0.99

00:18:27.600 whatever it is today.

00:18:28.780 But to me, the biggest thing Iran needs right now is a closer. 0.99

00:18:32.360 I'm not convinced he's a closer to close the deal.

00:18:36.020 Stop being so romantic about your candidates.

00:18:39.540 There is these fantasies people have with their candidates.

00:18:42.100 Oh my God.

00:18:43.020 You know, it's going to be so great.

00:18:44.780 RFK, romanticize because we're going to have another John F. Kennedy.

00:18:48.500 No, but he played a very important role with his job that he has under Trump right now.

00:18:52.440 So I think there's a very important role he plays.

00:18:54.680 I'm not convinced he's the guy that's going to be closing the deal.

00:18:57.300 So for all the Iranian people that are hoping for regime change, hey, you don't have a lot 1.00

00:19:01.400 of time.

00:19:03.020 The window's going to close like this.

00:19:05.540 When do you think there's going to be another opportunity like this?

00:19:07.620 I am 46 years old.

00:19:08.760 I've been outside of Iran since 1989.

00:19:12.480 That's how many years?

00:19:13.420 36 years.

00:19:14.640 This is the closest Iran's ever gotten since 1989 for regime change.

00:19:19.300 Let me say this again, Iranian people. 1.00

00:19:21.340 Since 1989, when we left Germany, when we left Iran, went to Germany at a refugee camp and

00:19:27.020 we camped here in November 20, 1990.

00:19:28.960 From that day till today, there's never been a time more closer than today for Iranian people

00:19:36.020 who want a regime change.

00:19:37.360 They want the rule of Khamenei and others to leave.

00:19:40.000 You've never, ever been closer than you are today.

00:19:44.700 What you do with it is truly on you.

00:19:46.800 I would love for the people to choose somebody like you're hearing all this stuff.

00:19:50.480 But the reality of it is you need a closer.

00:19:53.520 Someone that's going to close a deal.

00:19:55.320 I'm not convinced RP is a closer.

00:19:57.380 Tom, thoughts?

00:19:58.400 I think you're exactly right.

00:20:00.180 In the United States, we romanticize this.

00:20:02.440 There were people, you know, I used to go to RNC meetings and go, you know, check in

00:20:07.280 on things and then talk to people that had influence.

00:20:09.840 But I always used to select individual leaders that I was going to support and look at it

00:20:15.980 from that way.

00:20:16.620 And everybody was talking themselves into believing.

00:20:19.520 Jeb Bush is a guy.

00:20:20.660 Here we are.

00:20:21.200 Another Jeb Bush.

00:20:21.980 Oh, look, he's got diversity in his family.

00:20:24.720 Look at his wife. 0.69

00:20:25.560 Look at everything like this.

00:20:26.660 And it was like, wait a minute, this guy's uninspiring, number one.

00:20:29.500 And number two, what's his plan?

00:20:31.180 What does he passionately want to do?

00:20:32.760 There was nothing there.

00:20:33.860 But man, the Republican Party, this would be a layup.

00:20:36.580 We'll have all the support of everybody else.

00:20:37.820 $140 million they won.

00:20:39.580 $140 million.

00:20:40.720 That's how many people got into the room together and had, you know, brown water and talked themselves

00:20:48.000 into believing that Jeb was our guy.

00:20:49.640 This happens all the time in government where the successor is not the guy.

00:20:55.280 And I just think right now they're just, he's trying to force a little bit.

00:20:59.720 He doesn't feel like he's at the microphone with his own passion and desire.

00:21:04.920 It feels like he's under a kind of obligation and duty.

00:21:08.040 And if you're just there under obligation and duty, that is not what it's going to take

00:21:12.700 in the middle of what's going on on the world stage.

00:21:15.980 You've got an opportunity.

00:21:17.900 You know, they used to criticize the United States for a thing that they said, oh, you're

00:21:20.580 just out there nation building.

00:21:21.820 But it's really the CIA, the United Fruit Company, terrassing around Central America,

00:21:26.300 overthrowing, you know, perfectly legitimate democratic governments.

00:21:30.160 And, but there was other people that talked about nation building.

00:21:33.440 Nation building was about enabling.

00:21:35.160 Nation building was supporting nation buildings there.

00:21:37.580 This is an opportunity for Iran to come back in a democratic way.

00:21:42.760 Not that there's not warts there.

00:21:44.200 Not that there's not things going on there.

00:21:45.700 This is an opportunity for Iran to come back. 1.00

00:21:48.280 Like, and just, just, can I say something to come to you?

00:21:50.700 Yeah, yeah, go ahead, go for it.

00:21:51.240 Tom, you said something yesterday that was very important.

00:21:53.880 You ever seen the movie Alexander the Great with Angelina, is Angelina Jolie in that movie?

00:21:58.300 Who's the mother? 0.98

00:21:59.360 Colin Farrell's in it?

00:22:00.260 Colin Farrell, but who's the mother of Angelina Jolie?

00:22:02.700 Who's the mother of Angelina Jolie in that movie Alexander Robb?

00:22:07.260 Is it, is it, yeah, Angelina Jolie was the mother of Alexander the Great.

00:22:10.500 That was right.

00:22:10.820 So, so there is this fantasy with a son to outdo, like, you know, yeah.

00:22:18.420 But in this case, Angelina Jolie, the mother, Olympias, you know, had a fall on out with Alexander's father, right?

00:22:24.260 There was a big fall on out there.

00:22:25.740 So she wanted her son to do what?

00:22:27.700 To outdo the father.

00:22:29.880 Because now she's like, I've divorced your father.

00:22:32.220 I've got nothing to do with him.

00:22:33.320 The best revenge would be you with my blood on my side of the family to outdo him.

00:22:37.700 That's right.

00:22:38.060 That mothers want their sons to do very well.

00:22:41.120 And there's an element of mothers that if the father and the son had a feud that I don't believe in you, get your act to get serious.

00:22:48.200 Mothers want the son to prove a point to the father that the son was better.

00:22:52.060 Not in a bad way.

00:22:53.320 It's in a very natural, loving way, right?

00:22:56.440 But sometimes the son privately is like, mom, don't give me that pressure.

00:22:59.800 I don't want this job.

00:23:01.180 Who are the only two athletes you said in baseball that did better than their fathers?

00:23:04.040 Oh, that did that love the game and set world-breaking statistics.

00:23:09.900 King Griffey Jr. and Barry Bonds.

00:23:11.880 You know what both of them had in common?

00:23:13.280 Love of the game.

00:23:13.940 They love the game.

00:23:14.780 I don't know if there's a love of the game here.

00:23:16.060 Go ahead, Vinny.

00:23:16.440 And I'm not that versed on all this, but I mean, we've met the guy.

00:23:20.580 We've hung out with the guy.

00:23:21.740 With something like this, as a leader, you cannot be on the fence.

00:23:25.380 You have to not only want to do it, Pat.

00:23:27.780 It's a must do it, and I just don't feel that vibe.

00:23:31.700 And you mentioned something about time-wise.

00:23:33.620 How long do you think the United States and Israel is going to give them?

00:23:37.060 Because if you think about it, Khomeini could easily, with Mossad and us and our intelligence,

00:23:42.220 he could have been dead a while ago.

00:23:44.480 When Trump made that post where he's like, hey, we know where you are, and we can take you out when we're out.

00:23:48.640 They're giving the Iranian people grace to figure this out, but the clock is ticking. 0.96

00:23:53.780 I just don't think, my, Vincent O'Shaughnessy opinion, that's not the guy.

00:23:57.840 But the Iranian people, they've got to step up. 0.99

00:23:59.780 Because, Adam, what did you guys say?

00:24:00.840 81% of the people are pro the regime change, but 20% doesn't.

00:24:07.480 That's of 92 million.

00:24:08.960 That's almost 20 million.

00:24:10.340 That's 18.4 million people are still like, no, this guy, this Khomeini guy, is who we want. 0.95

00:24:17.880 But it has to happen.

00:24:19.160 They've got to step up.

00:24:20.560 When it comes down to merge, especially with all the timing that we have going on.

00:24:23.340 Look, if you ever wonder why we don't do sponsorships, because our own companies are putting us in a position with the customers.

00:24:30.260 I say this to you all the time.

00:24:31.680 If you believe in a brand, go support it.

00:24:34.200 If you love CNN, buy their stuff.

00:24:36.240 If you love Fox, buy their stuff.

00:24:38.060 If you love any other small media company, support them, because that's how they stay in business.

00:24:42.940 So here's what ends up happening.

00:24:44.380 You either take money from sponsorship, then your loyalty has to be the sponsors,

00:24:47.820 or you take money from customers who are buying stuff from you.

00:24:51.320 The loyalty then becomes to them to stay honest to them.

00:24:53.940 That is what our goal is long-term.

00:24:55.620 Eventually, we will bring some partnerships in based on criterias that we're creating with them.

00:25:01.080 But until then, we're loving what's happening right now with the podcast, the media company, everything that we're doing.

00:25:06.380 So today, we have some limited merch that just came in today.

00:25:10.420 And talk about the timing.

00:25:11.400 But we've been waiting for this for four months.

00:25:13.980 We have these new USA flags that literally just came in.

00:25:18.000 We have the black one that came in here, USA hat on the back. 0.99

00:25:22.160 It says, future looks bright.

00:25:23.340 We have the other USA one with the stars that are on it with future looks bright on the side.

00:25:27.620 And on the back, it says, valetainment.

00:25:29.020 This one is sick for 4th of July.

00:25:30.960 This is the kind of hat you would want to sport on 4th of July.

00:25:33.600 I like the black one, and I like this one here.

00:25:36.360 This one's not going to last a long time.

00:25:37.780 This is black and gold.

00:25:39.940 USA is gold.

00:25:41.560 Limited?

00:25:42.520 Look at this.

00:25:43.160 USA is gold right there.

00:25:44.160 Oh, snap. 0.99

00:25:44.500 And it's numbered.

00:25:45.360 Oh, it's a good hat.

00:25:45.740 This is limited edition out of 250 with the American flag on the side, valetainment logo on the side.

00:25:51.600 And on the back, it says, future looks bright.

00:25:53.580 It's out of 250.

00:25:54.480 You know what happens with these numbered ones?

00:25:56.420 They don't last a long time.

00:25:57.900 I think the last one lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes.

00:26:00.700 They go in no time.

00:26:01.820 If you like the limited supply stuff that we have, some people buy it and put it on eBay, and they flip them.

00:26:06.960 We can't stop them from doing that.

00:26:08.700 So if you don't buy it, you can only get these on eBay.

00:26:10.540 But those of you that love our limited supply material that we have, go buy this.

00:26:14.760 They have a shirt that goes with it as well, Rob.

00:26:16.500 If you can go on the shirt one that we have right there, the gold shirt.

00:26:19.280 Can you click on it real quick so we can zoom in?

00:26:21.280 Look at that.

00:26:22.200 USA golden.

00:26:23.000 And on the back, it says, future looks bright.

00:26:25.960 And then go to the hat as well so we can see some of the pictures of the hat, Rob.

00:26:28.820 These are all numbered.

00:26:29.840 Keep going, keep going, keep going.

00:26:31.880 And Rob...

00:26:32.200 Yeah, look at that stitching. 0.72

00:26:33.180 Glitter and everything.

00:26:34.080 Oh, this is awesome.

00:26:35.360 Anyways, go to vtmerch.com to place your order.

00:26:38.020 Is that a new shirt as well for 4th of July?

00:26:39.880 This is a new shirt that's even coming out.

00:26:40.980 I don't know if we have that on the website or not, but I'm sure when we do, we'll market that as well.
