00:00:00.000 This is one of the Iranian officials listing their demands for a ceasefire.
00:00:04.500 This is when?
00:00:05.500 This was earlier this week, I believe Monday or Tuesday.
00:00:08.180 Go ahead.
00:00:09.060 Until all our damages are recovered, until all economic sanctions are lifted,
00:00:14.280 and until we obtain an international legal guarantee against Iran's, 0.61
00:00:19.600 against America's interference in Iran's affairs, this war will continue. 0.50
00:00:24.640 And I'll explain why such a decision has been made by our nation, our leader, and our armed forces.
00:00:30.060 I will state in the interview that whether our conflict with America is just a 12-day war and a Ramadan war,
00:00:36.740 or rather a 47-year saga that we must bring to an end right here and now.
00:00:42.200 Okay, so that's that on what he's saying.
00:00:45.200 Similar request to what I just read.
00:00:47.260 Okay, MBS comes out.
00:00:48.600 I have the comments here where he says he fears if Trump retreats now,
00:00:53.240 Saudi Arabia and the rest of the region will be left to face angry Iran. 0.98
00:00:57.420 I think he told us to, is this the interview, Rob, or?
00:01:01.580 I'm looking for the clip.
00:01:02.780 I found this clip.
00:01:03.600 I'm not sure if it's him, though.
00:01:04.580 Yeah, angry Iran. 0.98
00:01:05.920 He told us to New York Times.
00:01:07.160 Then yesterday, when the president is being interviewed, they asked the president.
00:01:11.800 I don't know if you saw that clip, Rob.
00:01:13.200 They're asking him, hey, I just texted it to you, Rob.
00:01:16.760 I'm sorry, I texted it to myself.
00:01:18.560 Reporter asks the president, is MBS encouraging you to do certain things related to Iran?
00:01:26.320 And here's what the president had to say.
00:01:27.880 Go forward.
00:01:28.900 What do you hear with Saudi Arabia?
00:01:31.000 I'm just hearing that you've been talking and that he has been encouraging you to do certain things related to Iran.
00:01:36.080 Can you share that?
00:01:36.900 He's a warrior.
00:01:37.740 He does?
00:01:38.300 Yeah, he's a warrior.
00:01:39.100 He's fighting with us, by the way.
00:01:40.520 Saudi Arabia has been excellent.
00:01:42.380 And UAE, excellent.
00:01:46.080 And I will tell you, Qatar, incredible.
00:01:49.060 Saudi Arabia, what do you hear with Saudi Arabia?
00:01:50.740 Yeah, so there you have it.
00:01:51.980 So he's responding the way he is.
00:01:53.440 And, Rob, I don't know if there was an interview with him or not.
00:01:55.560 It was just like a face-to-face interview.
00:01:59.160 Barry, you make a good point because, you know, when you think about this,
00:02:03.040 is he putting out the 15 points to give a little bit more time
00:02:07.360 because he got an update that USS Tripoli needs four more days,
00:02:10.420 needs five more days?
00:02:11.380 Because I got a quote here, very weird quote,
00:02:14.320 and I don't know if I like this quote, but let me read this quote to you from Netanyahu.
00:02:18.640 Here's what Netanyahu just said, okay?
00:02:20.920 Look what his quote is.
00:02:22.720 Netanyahu just said, when asked how long do you think this is going to last,
00:02:28.580 he told Fox News, may take some time, but it's not going to take years.
00:02:34.100 He vowed to keep striking Iran's enemies and help topple its regime. 0.63
00:02:39.520 After missile attacks, he called Iran's behavior threatening the entire world.
00:02:44.180 So there's two different problems.
00:02:46.920 There's the Israel problem. 0.91
00:02:48.320 There's the world problem.
00:02:49.480 There's the America problem. 0.59
00:02:51.220 The Israel problem is what? 0.70
00:02:53.140 You just attack these guys.
00:02:54.580 Guess what, Tom, with the Israel problem.
00:02:56.640 They are furious with you right now.
00:02:58.900 They're not happy with you with what you have going on.
00:03:01.880 And Israel has to sit there and say, dude, if we don't finish this off right now,
00:03:05.980 you think they're going to let us go?
00:03:07.420 They're going to come back and take us out?
00:03:09.200 Then you have a world problem.
00:03:11.100 Did this even make the world a safer place?
00:03:13.540 Did it make Gulf states feel better?
00:03:15.860 Did it make them feel more comfortable?
00:03:17.980 Are Europeans and NATO allies feeling more comfortable about this?
00:03:21.440 Then the last one is what?
00:03:22.520 Trump the president.
00:03:24.700 How is this sitting in America?
00:03:27.540 How is America reacting to this?
00:03:29.900 Is America sitting there?
00:03:30.920 Because we just had a Democrat that won in Palm Beach.
00:03:35.640 Is it Palm Beach?
00:03:36.380 Emily, I don't know what her last name is.
00:03:37.920 Emily Gregory.
00:03:38.960 Emily Gregory, who just won in Palm Beach.
00:03:41.040 and Democrat flips Florida State House District
00:03:44.980 that includes Trump's Mar-a-Lago, okay?
00:03:47.880 I mean, that's his house.
00:03:49.220 So what are they saying?
00:03:50.240 Tom, you made a good point earlier that, you know,
00:03:52.860 we've talked about this for the last four or five years.
00:03:55.260 If there's one thing we've been consistent about,
00:03:57.700 don't worry about Democrats and Republicans
00:03:59.580 who runs America's independents, okay?
00:04:02.780 That's who runs American elections. 0.96
00:04:04.480 If independents are kind of going like this, 0.95
00:04:07.580 you know, it's like, hey, we're not fully with this.
00:04:11.040 your base may be with you
00:04:13.700 this may be with you
00:04:14.980 but us independents
00:04:16.120 we're kind of leaning this way
00:04:17.180 do you see that pattern
00:04:18.240 kind of happening Tom?
00:04:19.600 okay
00:04:20.080 when I sell my business
00:04:21.780 I want the best tax
00:04:23.020 and investment advice
00:04:23.880 I want to help my kids
00:04:25.040 and I want to give back
00:04:26.120 to the community
00:04:26.740 then it's the vacation
00:04:29.900 of a lifetime
00:04:30.860 I wonder if my head of office
00:04:33.160 has a forever setting
00:04:34.480 an IG private wealth advisor
00:04:36.880 creates the clarity you need
00:04:38.520 with plans that harmonize
00:04:39.940 your business
00:04:40.560 your family, and your dreams.
00:04:42.960 Get financial advice that puts you at the center.
00:04:45.920 Find your advisor at idprivatewealth.com.
00:04:49.680 Now streaming on Paramount+.
00:04:52.140 My center, my soul is gone.
00:04:55.860 From Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan.
00:04:59.260 Mine is not a family designed to withstand tragedy.
00:05:03.040 Starring Academy Award nominee Michelle Pfeiffer
00:05:05.920 and Golden Globe nominee Kurt Russell.
00:05:09.000 The worry is what you do next.
00:05:11.460 You will have as much life to live as you allow yourself.
00:05:14.700 The Madison.
00:05:16.040 New series now streaming only on Paramount+.
00:05:19.240 Yeah, this is a flip of a district.
00:05:21.500 This was a Republican.
00:05:22.700 This was a GOP district.
00:05:24.220 And now Gregory has won it, the special election.
00:05:27.420 And so now you look at it and say, okay, what does this say?
00:05:30.660 A couple hundred votes, by the way.
00:05:31.820 And the Boca guy won by like 13, 14 votes.
00:05:34.100 And then under audit, it went down to three votes and even one vote in Boca.
00:05:37.500 So, yeah, that was debated back and forth right on the edge of a knife.
00:05:42.080 So what this says is that the independents in Florida are basically not saying, hey, overnight I became liberal.
00:05:52.800 But what they're saying is I don't like what's going on and this is the way I'm leaning.
00:05:56.660 And it doesn't take much to move that, especially in the lavender districts.
00:06:02.420 Miami, Broward County is blue.
00:06:05.420 Miami is blue, but lighter blue than it's been.
00:06:09.580 And it goes lavender certain times.
00:06:12.480 I'm sorry, I just wanted to say the point that Pat made is very true,
00:06:16.780 is that the America problem has this issue in a, by the way,
00:06:22.360 there's just a canary in the coal mine for the midterm elections as well.
00:06:25.500 And that's the bigger issue that has to be contemplated.
00:06:29.200 And so the public opinion right now does not favor what's going on for the most part.
00:06:37.000 Maybe they're looking at it short term.
00:06:38.380 Maybe they're feeling what's going on with gasoline prices, and they just don't have a distaste for it.
00:06:43.680 I don't know if they're thinking about the bigger picture.
00:06:45.520 Like you had mentioned, this is an opportunity for a bigger picture here.
00:06:48.400 But it has to be balanced as far as what are you willing to sacrifice for.
00:06:52.220 It's a really tough situation to be in.
00:06:54.580 There's not really a narrative either.
00:06:55.920 Normally you have a narrative behind a war of like, oh, we have to do this because of this reason, like 9-11.
00:07:00.400 It was revenge.
00:07:01.860 Sometimes there's an imminent threat, but they don't really have a narrative to capture that tolerance.
00:07:06.800 So I think that's part of it, too.
00:07:08.840 Got it.
00:07:09.400 Rob, what is this?
00:07:10.700 This is the president.
00:07:11.680 Yesterday in the Oval Office, he talks about receiving a gift from Iran,
00:07:15.980 and it shows that the United States is now dealing with the right people in the regime.
00:07:19.840 Let's hear it.
00:07:20.740 Make a deal.
00:07:21.500 They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually.
00:07:24.020 they gave us a present and the president arrived today it was a very big present worth a tremendous
00:07:32.100 amount of money and i'm not going to tell you what that present is but it was a very significant
00:07:41.380 prize and they gave it to us and they said they were going to give it so that meant
00:07:45.860 one thing to me would deal with the right people no it wasn't nuclear related it was oil and gas
00:07:51.940 related and it was a very nice thing they did but what it showed me is that we're dealing with the
00:07:56.820 right people because you know you don't know because the leadership was killed all gone
00:08:02.420 khomeini all gone as the expression goes the past supreme leader and then the new supreme leader was
00:08:10.980 racked up at a minimum racked up pretty good and everyone else was gone and then many of the people
00:08:17.620 People in the third tier are gone, but we're dealing with a group of people that I think
00:08:22.440 had turned out, and the present, the gift they made to us was very significant, and
00:08:28.080 they said they were going to do it, and it happened, and they're the only ones that could
00:08:32.220 have done it.
00:08:32.740 So much fog of war right now.
00:08:34.660 You're hearing everything to sit there and say, what is really going on?
00:08:37.960 What is really being said?
00:08:39.160 Is politics being played?
00:08:40.820 Who's he talking to?
00:08:42.020 Is it games?
00:08:42.800 Is it not games?
00:08:43.620 Or is the other side sitting there saying, what the hell is he talking about?
00:08:46.880 We didn't give you anything.
00:08:47.800 There's so much that's going on right now.
00:08:49.580 But, Pat, you think about it, wouldn't that be like the perfect scenario for the U.S.
00:08:54.020 if the regime in kind of like safe face is there,
00:08:57.520 but those who are in charge of the regime are not as radical?
00:09:01.000 I don't know if that's a possibility.
00:09:02.400 Oh, no way.
00:09:03.340 No, no, no.
00:09:03.820 Okay, so let me ask you.
00:09:06.060 Um, how long, if you spend 10 years with Lucky Luciano, okay, how long do you need to spend
00:09:19.660 every second of the day with Lucky to become like Lucky?
00:09:24.760 How long?
00:09:25.360 What do you think the timeline is?
00:09:26.640 How long do you need to spend with, uh, uh, the cartel from Mexico?
00:09:31.640 Give me one of the heavyweights cartels of Mexico.
00:09:33.460 Name any one of them.
00:09:34.440 El Chapo.
00:09:34.600 How long do I need to spend with El Chapo to become El Chapo?
00:09:37.520 How long do I need to spend with, you know, the Mansons? 1.00
00:09:41.160 How long do I need to spend with these guys to become them?
00:09:43.700 What do you think that timeline is?
00:09:44.840 Not long.
00:09:45.560 What do you think that's?
00:09:46.340 Honestly, it's a very good question because how long do you think that is?
00:09:49.040 Three months, six months, 12 months, two years, three years?
00:09:51.420 Not long.
00:09:52.180 No, not long at all.
00:09:53.100 We have a case study.
00:09:53.940 What would you say?
00:09:54.680 What would you say it is?
00:09:55.480 I think a thousand hours.
00:09:56.780 You think it's a thousand hours?
00:09:57.800 To be just like them?
00:09:58.680 I, you know, if you're going into it and you're manipulatable, you know, three weeks.
00:10:07.660 I mean, we saw what happened in history when Patty Hearst was kidnapped.
00:10:13.200 And then she basically went from, they say psychologically, she went from Stockholm syndrome, where you kind of start to lean with the feelings of your captors,
00:10:24.060 to actually participating with the Symbianese Liberation Army in a bank hit.
00:10:31.420 How long did that take?
00:10:32.520 F. Lee Bailey was her lawyer, by the way.
00:10:34.160 Right.
00:10:34.640 She was only 19 years old.
00:10:36.160 She was very impressionable.
00:10:37.480 It was only like 30 days.
00:10:38.760 Okay.
00:10:38.960 So here's the question.
00:10:40.780 How many people have spent 1,000-plus hours with the current regime,
00:10:47.320 Khamenei, Pezashkian, any of those guys, to be true believers?
00:10:51.660 How many?
00:10:51.980 They all are.
00:10:52.960 They all are.
00:10:53.400 A couple hundred.
00:10:53.660 They all have.
00:10:55.080 The point I'm making is that if the president's saying we're talking to the right people,
00:10:59.320 is there some sort of a shift or a tone change?
00:11:01.640 I have no idea.
00:11:02.360 I don't know who he's talking to.
00:11:03.980 Or is he softening us up that the regime's not going to change?
00:11:07.900 No, I think it is.
00:11:11.180 I think, look, if you—here's what the debate was.
00:11:16.140 The first debate was, should we or should we not?
00:11:19.120 Right.
00:11:19.340 OK, so then the president says, Iranian people, we have your back.
00:11:24.620 OK, then Iranian people are becoming bolder to go out there.
00:11:28.820 So now the president's position is what?
00:11:31.260 We have your back.
00:11:32.320 That's a statement being made from the most powerful person in the world.
00:11:35.220 And I'm warning you guys, don't hang anybody.
00:11:37.360 Don't execute.
00:11:38.200 Right.
00:11:38.720 But they kept doing it.
00:11:39.920 Right.
00:11:40.280 And they kept and they're turning off the Internet.
00:11:42.000 And we saw the numbers that came up, 31,000, 33,000, 70,000.
00:11:45.920 And then they came back and said, no, no, we didn't kill 30,000 of our people.
00:11:49.480 We only killed 3,117 of our own people.
00:11:52.700 Rob, can you find that clip that where, that's the clip I was trying to find with Adagachi,
00:11:56.620 where he said, we didn't kill 31,000 people.
00:11:58.700 That's incorrect.
00:11:59.340 We killed only 3,117 of our own people.
00:12:02.680 As if like he's trying to say, look, we're nice people.
00:12:05.260 So then from there, everyone's now debating.
00:12:09.580 Don't do it, do it.
00:12:10.720 Do it, don't do it.
00:12:11.560 Do it, don't do it.
00:12:12.180 We're not in, we're out.
00:12:13.300 And then who makes the decision?
00:12:15.020 The president.
00:12:15.920 Now we're in.
00:12:16.880 Why are we going in?
00:12:18.260 Regime collapse, regime change.
00:12:20.840 So now at the end, it's a nuclear.
00:12:24.040 I don't know if I buy the fact that.
00:12:26.500 So if now it ends and you claim the war is done,
00:12:29.920 so the position for me would become like this.
00:12:32.540 If you're talking to Bibi, hey, listen, here's what we're doing.
00:12:36.380 What's that?
