Valuetainment - “Trump DOESN’T Negotiate With Terrorists” - Iran Nuclear Deadline IGNITES Strike Speculation

00:00:00.000 So, it'll be interesting what happens there, but as we continue and we move on,

00:00:06.780 Iran's situation is escalating very, very quickly.

00:00:10.860 Everybody's asking, is it going to happen today?

00:00:13.460 Is it going to happen tomorrow?

00:00:14.580 Is it going to happen this?

00:00:15.920 By the way, would it be true, would it be unlike Trump to do it

00:00:21.140 while he's giving a State of the Union tomorrow night, Tuesday night?

00:00:24.580 Can you imagine he's giving a speech and all of a sudden, boom, the attack takes place?

00:00:28.620 And at the end, he says, by the way, check your phones.

00:00:32.080 Iran has officially been this. 0.97

00:00:33.940 We have Khamenei.

00:00:34.900 We have this.

00:00:35.380 We have that.

00:00:36.360 They may or may not.

00:00:37.440 It's a little bit too risky, but when you're looking at what type of,

00:00:40.840 did you see the B-52, which bomber was it that was flying in, Rob?

00:00:48.260 There was a bomber that was flying in.

00:00:49.940 I mean, they're literally sending everything over there.

00:00:52.400 I know the picture you're talking about.

00:00:53.040 That's our B-2s.

00:00:54.300 The B-2 bomber, that one over there.

00:00:55.900 Zoom in a little bit, Rob.

00:00:58.860 Yeah, the B-2 bombers.

00:00:59.860 Where did it go to, though?

00:01:01.460 It went to somewhere in the Middle East that it was seen.

00:01:05.820 So at any point, anything could happen there.

00:01:07.980 Let me go to the store here, and we'll kind of read through it.

00:01:13.060 Which one should we go to, Rob?

00:01:15.320 What page do we have the Iran news?

00:01:19.640 That would be page 18 and 19.

00:01:21.520 Page 18 and 19.

00:01:24.540 Okay.

00:01:25.180 So Iran regime squares off against student protests in the streets of Tehran.

00:01:29.160 Debt to Khamenei.

00:01:29.900 So they're now saying debt to Khamenei in Iran,

00:01:33.920 which is the complete opposite of debt to America.

00:01:37.380 The students are now wanting debt to Khamenei.

00:01:40.260 Go ahead, Rob, if you want to play this clip.

00:01:41.760 This is Wall Street Journal reading this story

00:01:53.580 with Iranian students' protest as anger grows.

00:01:57.300 FYI, this is kind of exactly what happened with Khamenei back in the days

00:02:01.240 when Mohammad Azar Shahpa al-Avi,

00:02:03.500 that they were doing the same exact type of protest.

00:02:05.680 And, Rob, is this the one from Wall Street Journal?

00:02:08.440 It's just one of them, yes.

00:02:09.540 Okay, got it.

00:02:10.680 So this leads to the Telegraph story. 0.98

00:02:13.640 Trump could kill Ayatollah's son and senior Mullahs 0.97

00:02:18.560 to topple Iranian regime. 0.84

00:02:21.040 Tom, what do you think is going to happen here?

00:02:22.840 So I think this is going to be surgical,

00:02:24.900 and I think they've got it planned.

00:02:26.520 They've got the buildup there.

00:02:28.540 And I think Witkoff said something over the weekend.

00:02:31.820 He said, you know, they're not cooperating anymore in discussions.

00:02:36.340 And Witkoff also said, I really fear that they do have the enrichment capabilities.

00:02:42.160 And Witkoff has never said that.

00:02:43.620 I went back and looked at Witkoff.

00:02:45.360 Witkoff doesn't put these little things out there like that.

00:02:48.580 This is not his style.

00:02:49.900 This is not the way he did it.

00:02:51.160 So for him to be saying, I believe that they have the ability to enrich the uranium,

00:02:57.440 we've been trying to talk to them.

00:02:58.720 It's they're not they're they're no longer talking forthrightly.

00:03:03.600 So when I see that, you know, we're giving them the opportunity.

00:03:07.840 We've Witkoff's there.

00:03:09.080 Rubio is behind the scenes.

00:03:10.740 We're trying to get them to do the right thing.

00:03:13.560 But we want the transition.

00:03:15.320 We don't want to have Crazy 2 as the sequel to Crazy 1.

00:03:19.600 So I think what's about to happen here, you can't allow the enrichment,

00:03:24.240 but you've got to have a plan for succession.

00:03:27.320 That's the issue, Pat.

00:03:29.020 Those two things is what they're juggling.

00:03:32.680 You've got to have a plan.

00:03:33.920 You've got to get rid of the enrichment.

00:03:35.260 You've got to go out to the facilities.

00:03:36.740 But then you've got to have a plan for succession.

00:03:39.740 And if you it's and I think they're doing everything they can to do both at once.

00:03:43.880 And they're going to be pushed to the wall where I think they have to just go in

00:03:47.380 and take care of the enrichment and just say, hey, don't F around.

00:03:50.920 Because you look at those people.

00:03:53.240 Yeah.

00:03:53.480 Khomeini is not polling well with the citizens there.

00:03:56.900 And unfortunately, we just have polls and elections here.

00:04:00.140 They'll have polls and coups.

00:04:02.140 So I think it's coming.

00:04:03.900 And I think it's hours away, not days away.

00:04:05.980 I think it's hours.

00:04:06.660 Yeah, yesterday, Mario Nafal reported something from a different ex that was saying,

00:04:15.320 Iran is now coming up saying we're willing to negotiate anything and everything. 0.56

00:04:19.800 You know, what is it you want?

00:04:20.940 If you want to extend the, you know, nuclear development, if you want us to do this,

00:04:25.060 we're open to it.

00:04:25.720 Just remove us from the sanctions.

00:04:27.160 Now they're coming out saying, no, no, let's negotiate.

00:04:29.620 Because apparently the last time when Whitcoff and Kushner went there to negotiate,

00:04:33.820 I don't know if you heard what happened at the end.

00:04:36.400 At the end, they're like, no, we're good.

00:04:38.260 They walked out.

00:04:39.720 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:04:40.760 This is it.

00:04:41.640 Out.

00:04:42.780 No more negotiation.

00:04:44.020 They came.

00:04:45.040 They made their offer.

00:04:46.400 There was discussion.

00:04:47.400 They said there's nothing else to discuss.

00:04:49.380 They left.

00:04:49.960 Which means an attack is what a lot of people think is imminent.

00:04:54.820 Rob, is this a recent clip?

00:04:56.780 Yes, this was Friday from the president.

00:04:58.680 What is he saying in this clip here?

00:05:00.100 That tells the Iranian people at time to negotiate a fair deal. 0.99

00:05:03.240 They're not going to be doing that.

00:05:04.580 That's what he said in Air Force One.

00:05:05.980 I don't even think they want to.

00:05:07.460 I don't think we, they, Trump's team wants to negotiate.

00:05:11.220 I think they're done.

00:05:12.200 I think they're past it.

00:05:13.420 I think the whole, you know what it changes if they do negotiate with them?

00:05:17.200 What quote is officially out the window?

00:05:20.720 If they negotiate with them, what quote is out the window?

00:05:23.920 A quote that's been used for decades.

00:05:25.480 Go ahead.

00:05:27.140 It's out the window.

00:05:28.600 Yeah, you're right.

00:05:29.500 If you negotiate, guess what's going to happen in 2020?

00:05:32.680 I'm sorry.

00:05:34.140 Weren't you guys the party that said you never negotiated with a terrorist party?

00:05:37.220 Yep.

00:05:37.640 And you did.

00:05:38.700 You negotiated with them.

00:05:39.800 So now what?

00:05:40.360 What are you going to be doing now?

00:05:41.660 So there is a report yesterday that I came up, you know, that they're willing to come up and do something with them.

00:05:50.780 But apparently nothing's been happening yet.

00:05:52.560 Adam, your thoughts?

00:05:53.420 Yeah, I don't see this ending well for anybody.

00:05:58.560 Tens of thousands of people have already died.

00:06:00.700 And I expect if something happens, it could get way worse.

00:06:04.320 By the way, how brave are these protesters in Iran after knowing that their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, family, parents, kids, all tens of thousands were murdered by the regime?

00:06:16.220 And then they went out and protested again?

00:06:18.600 Is that what's going on here?

00:06:19.640 Yes, yes.

00:06:20.180 Imagine that.

00:06:21.340 Put yourself in these protesters' shoes.

00:06:23.940 They killed all their friends and they're coming back two weeks later basically saying, no, we can't stand for this.

00:06:29.800 Because there's the most daylight in the world between the most brutal regime and the people that want freedom exists in Iran.

00:06:37.720 So number two, follow the money.

00:06:40.220 How much money are we spending to have a fleet out there in the middle of the ocean in the, what sea is it, the Persian Gulf?

00:06:50.440 What city is it, okay?

00:06:52.020 The Persian Gulf.

00:06:53.400 How much money are we spending?

00:06:54.480 If Trump doesn't do anything, we just spent billions of dollars to, what, show force?

00:07:02.180 So in my opinion, this something's got to give here.

00:07:05.140 Last but not least, follow the money.

00:07:06.860 The economy of Iran is crumbling.

00:07:09.820 I mean, they're already one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to the misery index, which basically tracks, what, unemployment and inflation?

00:07:17.140 The people have nothing to live for at this point.

00:07:20.400 The economy's in shambles. 0.91

00:07:21.580 Half the people don't want to follow this ridiculous ideological religious regime. 0.71

00:07:26.920 And they're just basically saying, please come help us.

00:07:29.480 Now, Trump, you've said that help is on the way.

00:07:32.520 So what are you doing, president?

00:07:34.420 Because in my opinion, this 88-year-old Ayatollah, dude, he'll die a martyr, no problem.

00:07:40.700 The question is, who's going to come replace him?

00:07:43.080 So we'll see.

00:07:43.840 But, I mean, it's easier said than done, Adam.

00:07:45.620 And I think Tom made a great point, and we've said it last week, who's going to take his spot and who is the military going to listen to?

00:07:52.920 Because those same people that we saw videos that they're driving, bro, you're not, we're not seeing a sliver of what's actually happening.

00:08:00.420 What I've heard from people that have family there, Adam, they're shooting them in the streets and they're driving over them.

00:08:06.340 I did see one video, I think me and Pat did, where a civilian finally was like, you know, the hell with it.

00:08:12.040 And there was IRGC running in the street, and he was running them over.

00:08:15.680 So it's a very difficult situation because, okay, and look what's happening in Mexico.

00:08:20.000 You take out the main guy.

00:08:21.480 Then what?

00:08:23.220 This is a huge thing that people are looking over.

00:08:25.400 Don't get me wrong, Adam.

00:08:26.500 I'm not an isolationist in the sense that if your whole thing is death to America, not death to Adam, Vinny, Florida, America.

00:08:35.280 You know what that means?

00:08:36.340 Everybody that's in this country, if they were dead, they'd be happy.

00:08:40.780 Them's is fighting words, okay?

00:08:42.820 So if you want the smoke, you're going to get it.

00:08:44.900 But when I say it's hard because you can't, Adam, think about this.

00:08:49.100 Tom's the main guy.

00:08:50.320 Tom's Khomeini. 0.99

00:08:51.440 You take him out.

00:08:52.220 We're generals, all of us.

00:08:54.100 You think we're going to listen to whoever the Israel or the United States puts it?

00:08:58.920 Wait, wait, wait.

00:08:59.280 Which one of you decides it's going to be number one?

00:09:01.520 That's what I was just thinking.

00:09:02.680 You two generals talk to each other.

00:09:04.140 I'll be number one.

00:09:05.000 I have all the forces of the South.

00:09:06.900 I have the forces of the North. 0.80

00:09:08.180 Exactly that.

00:09:08.600 It's like Pat was just talking about the list of cartel people waiting to flow in.

00:09:12.760 You think those guys are going to play nice with each other?

00:09:14.760 Hell no.

00:09:15.220 Every one of those wants to be the next men.

00:09:17.160 Tom, I love it because you took the words out of my mouth.

00:09:19.440 You don't think, Adam, you don't think you're going to be like, wait, who are you to see?

00:09:23.060 Who said that you're going to be in charge?

00:09:24.640 No, but the U.S. said that Pat's going to be in charge.

00:09:26.540 You'll be dictator today.

00:09:27.500 I'll be dictator tomorrow.

00:09:28.540 No, Adam, so I get it.

00:09:29.760 Something needs to be done.

00:09:31.480 But, I mean, ships are on the move.

00:09:33.440 I saw the USS, was it Ford, Tom?

00:09:35.100 Gerald Ford is in the water.

00:09:37.100 Where's positioning?

00:09:38.340 Can you pull this up?

00:09:38.560 Can you pull up what I just texted you, please?

00:09:41.120 So this is very interesting from what Mario Nafal is reporting from Visionary.

00:09:49.300 Rob, if you can pull this, this is about geopolitics.

00:09:51.340 If you pull up, take a look at what they're doing here with this.

00:09:55.180 So three area refuelers, all taking off from Japan, are now cruising at low refueling altitudes

00:10:02.880 and doing the aviation equivalent of tiptoeing through the house at 3 a.m.,

00:10:08.940 avoiding every national airspace like they owe country's money.

00:10:12.900 Refuelers don't do this unless they're babysitting someone important, 1.00

00:10:16.820 which brings us to the 4B-52 sitting in Guam,

00:10:21.380 the flying sledgehammers of U.S. foreign policy possibly rolling out

00:10:25.220 for little unscheduled travel in the direction of Diego Garcia, America's favorite.

00:10:30.320 We're saying, we're not saying we're preparing for something,

00:10:34.580 but we're preparing for something island, okay?

00:10:37.200 So when you see all of this stuff going on, you know, it's,

00:10:42.200 and Adam to go and say that he promised he's going to do it,

00:10:44.900 that's what a lot of Iranians are saying.

00:10:46.420 Hey, you made a promise, you made a promise,

00:10:48.060 but he never said I was going to do it on your terms.

00:10:50.800 By the way, here's John Kirakou, the CIA officer who was the whistleblower

00:10:56.360 on what he called a waterboarding many, many years ago.

00:11:00.460 He had the time for that.

00:11:01.240 Here's what he had to say just a few days ago on Friday.

00:11:03.300 Go ahead.

00:11:03.560 I have a friend, former CIA officer, who was at the White House this morning

00:11:09.440 talking to his friends, and he says that a decision has been made

00:11:14.020 to attack Iran on Monday or Tuesday.

00:11:18.800 The president yesterday gave the Iranians 10 days to, you know,

00:11:25.180 accept our proposals for an end to their ballistic missile program,

00:11:29.900 an end to their uranium enrichment program,

00:11:34.780 an end to supporting groups in the Middle East like Hamas and Hezbollah

00:11:39.680 and the Houthis.

00:11:41.120 But he's done this before.

00:11:42.260 Well, he'll give you 10 days, he'll give you two weeks,

00:11:44.520 and then he'll just attack two days into it.

00:11:46.820 He thinks that that keeps people off balance.

00:11:50.120 And so he said that there are battle lines,

00:11:53.980 that the anti-war forces are J.D. Vance and Tulsi Gabbard.

00:11:59.980 He said that the pro—

00:12:00.760 That's it.

00:12:01.240 That's it.

00:12:02.140 He said the pro-war people are led by Marco Rubio

00:12:05.820 and include Pete Hegseth and now the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

00:12:09.660 And I stopped him on that point this morning,

00:12:12.160 and I said, wait a minute.

00:12:13.140 I said, during the Iraq War, at the start of the Iraq War,

00:12:16.600 the most stridently anti-war component was the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

00:12:23.620 They were always the last ones that wanted to attack

00:12:26.620 because they know what war is.

00:12:28.880 And he said, ah, but you forget,

00:12:31.600 Trump has replaced all of the Joint Chiefs this year,

00:12:34.860 in the past 12 months, which I had forgotten.

00:12:38.060 Tom, what do you think about what he said?

00:12:39.080 Any of these four—

00:12:40.240 Well, first of all, every president's going to have his own cabinet,

00:12:44.520 his own appointments.

00:12:45.340 You know, everybody that's flipping out over the FCC

00:12:48.100 and equal time provision forgets that, you know,

00:12:51.920 Biden had his FCC person.

00:12:53.880 Now Trump's got his FCC person.

00:12:55.940 And it's a policy.

00:12:57.560 They're implementers of policy.

00:12:59.300 He's the Commander-in-Chief.

00:13:01.440 He will appoint the Joint Chiefs that he gets along with.

00:13:04.700 You have Biden, who was Commander-in-Chief,

00:13:07.760 and he was appointing Joint Chiefs,

00:13:10.520 and then generals that were more interested in skirts, trans, 1.00

00:13:18.180 and making the military into something else

00:13:21.360 than they were in national defense.

00:13:23.580 So it does not surprise me that the Joint Chiefs would think different,

00:13:27.260 to his point there.

00:13:28.400 And I also believe what they're saying.

00:13:31.040 You know, I don't think Rubio's a war hawk.

00:13:34.260 Here come the comments.

00:13:35.120 Oh, you don't understand.

00:13:36.360 No, I don't think he's war first,

00:13:37.980 but I think he recognizes what has to be done here.

00:13:41.660 And, you know, do I think the cabinet's split?

00:13:44.440 Yeah, because you know what?

00:13:45.960 I think Trump's got people in that cabinet

00:13:47.700 that have a little tension with each other,

00:13:49.760 that don't necessarily agree with people.

00:13:52.100 And I think, you know, you value that as a leader,

00:13:54.560 that you get perspectives in the room.

00:13:56.520 Everybody tells you you're right all the time,

00:13:58.500 then the day you're wrong,

00:13:59.540 and they're still telling you you're right, you're naked.

00:14:01.740 So I hope what he's saying has some truth to it.

00:14:07.080 Yeah, I don't know about his information or credibility.

00:14:11.300 That's not what I'm worried about.

00:14:12.140 Who I do trust are the Iranian people saying, 1.00

00:14:15.700 Maghbad Ayatollah Khomeini.

00:14:18.800 So we're all worried about who's going to be the next person up.

00:14:21.140 I'm not worried about that.

00:14:22.120 Why not?

00:14:22.840 Because what are the Iranian people are asking? 0.99

00:14:24.640 Are they shouting, who's the next person?

00:14:26.780 That will be figured out.

00:14:28.460 By the way, in Miami, I've spoken to not 10, not 15,

00:14:33.540 hundreds of Venezuelans.

00:14:35.620 Every single one was like, dude, I don't care what happens next.

00:14:39.120 Thank God we got done with Maduro.

00:14:40.920 Every single person I know that is pure-blooded,

00:14:43.420 loves Iran, Persian, lives in America and all over the world,

00:14:46.660 yes, they're going to figure out who they want next.

00:14:48.580 They're saying, let's get done with this guy.

00:14:50.980 Nothing changes if nothing changes.

00:14:52.600 You have to take out the figurehead, the leader, the supreme leader.

00:14:56.500 If he doesn't go, nothing changes.

00:14:58.700 So we can debate who's next, who's the next person up.

00:15:01.940 We have the convenience of doing that in our lovely studio in Fort Lauderdale.

00:15:06.280 The people of Iran are calling for a change.

00:15:09.620 Let's listen to them.

00:15:11.040 Hold on.

00:15:11.900 I agree with the listening to them and whatever,

00:15:14.100 but yeah, we could be in a studio, but we have to be smart in that,

00:15:18.060 Adam, if you take out that head and another guy just like him comes in,

00:15:22.720 everything that those people have been fighting for.

00:15:24.580 Do you think that if they thought about that, give our military a little bit of credit.

00:15:28.540 They're not like, what?

00:15:29.640 We've got to get a new leader in there? 0.66

00:15:30.980 Adam, if they thought of it.

00:15:31.740 Look what they did in Venezuela.

00:15:32.920 They basically took out the leader, Maduro, and they're like, yeah,

00:15:35.820 you work for us now, homeboy.

00:15:37.240 The president of Venezuela is Marco Rubio.

00:15:39.920 So you don't think they have something planned in Iran?

00:15:42.540 I'm not saying they don't.

00:15:43.340 I'm saying, why is it taking so long?

00:15:44.940 You know why?

00:15:45.700 Because I guarantee you the person that they took.

00:15:47.220 Why is it taking so long?

00:15:47.760 It's been 47 years.

00:15:49.200 No, no.

00:15:49.480 Why do you think it's taking so long?

00:15:50.500 No, no, no, no, no.

00:15:50.840 You think this thing happens overnight?

00:15:52.060 It came to the point of when he said, help is coming and I'm going to help you.

00:15:55.640 Why hasn't?

00:15:56.260 Because the Venezuela thing happened.

00:15:57.880 Brother, this has been going on for the entire administration.

00:16:00.800 Why didn't he come in, Adam?

00:16:01.700 Because I guarantee you the person.

00:16:03.500 Hold on, let me finish.

00:16:04.320 Because Iran versus Venezuela is totally different.

00:16:05.080 No, obviously.

00:16:05.900 But the person that they thought. 0.98

00:16:06.920 Venezuela is a small puppy compared to a semi-bitcher. 0.99

00:16:08.880 Adam, you brought up Venezuela. 0.94

00:16:10.300 Let him finish, Adam.

00:16:11.000 Let him finish.

00:16:11.540 Because you can't.

00:16:12.820 Venezuela doesn't chant death to America and doesn't have all the military

00:16:16.840 and everybody trying to kill us.

00:16:17.940 That's a completely different situation.

00:16:20.100 Venezuela was easy, small.

00:16:21.320 And now, you're talking about Iran and you're talking about people 0.98

00:16:23.960 that want to kill all of us. 0.76

00:16:25.380 So, yeah, it's a whole different situation.

00:16:27.000 So, what's your solution?

00:16:28.020 Adam, my solution is I don't know what their solution is

00:16:31.260 because they obviously had a leader in mind.

00:16:35.740 He obviously is not the guy.

00:16:37.120 Trump even said about Reza Pallavi, he's not the guy.

00:16:40.800 You're not the guy.

00:16:41.400 So, maybe.

00:16:41.720 What do you want to do with Ayatollah Khamenei?

00:16:43.220 Let's stay there.

00:16:43.820 Okay, ready for this?

00:16:44.660 Adam, let's get him. 0.87

00:16:46.180 Let's put him in jail forever.

00:16:47.620 Who's taking his spot?

00:16:48.720 Forever, like another six months.

00:16:49.600 Adam, who's taking his spot?

00:16:52.000 Since you know so much and we're sitting in the studio in beautiful Florida. 0.99

00:16:55.020 Whoever it is, is it going to be worse than this clown? 0.98

00:16:56.940 Says who? 0.99

00:16:57.580 How do you know?

00:16:58.680 The people shouting death to Khamenei.

00:17:01.320 How about those?

00:17:01.840 Okay.

00:17:02.280 How about those people?

00:17:02.880 Adam, it's so...

00:17:04.240 Hold on.

00:17:04.900 Let me just be very clear.

00:17:06.320 Are you not listening to the protesters and what they're asking for?

00:17:09.380 Are we not paying attention to them?

00:17:10.640 The 40,000 that died?

00:17:11.640 The 40,000 that died?

00:17:12.900 What is the two words they're saying?

00:17:14.800 Help us.

00:17:15.580 We need help.

00:17:16.140 That's not what they're saying.

00:17:17.040 Yes, they are.

00:17:17.660 They want help.

00:17:18.580 What is Magba Khamenei?

00:17:20.340 Magba Khamenei.

00:17:21.420 Death upon Khamenei. 0.94

00:17:22.980 Okay.

00:17:23.320 So, that's what they're shouting.

00:17:24.540 Yeah, one protest you're talking about.

00:17:25.460 I don't speak Farsi.

00:17:27.040 One protest.

00:17:27.820 That was a protest.

00:17:28.560 Thank God.

00:17:29.480 PBD.

00:17:30.040 How many protests are shouting those two words?

00:17:32.040 A lot.

00:17:32.780 Okay.

00:17:33.640 That's their number one goal.

00:17:35.160 It's hundreds.

00:17:36.020 They're done with that.

00:17:36.940 By the way, I want to show you something here.

00:17:38.720 Iranian foreign minister says U.S. deal is still quite possible.

00:17:42.500 What's the date?

00:17:43.620 When was February 22nd?

00:17:45.360 Yesterday.

00:17:46.720 Yesterday.

00:17:47.360 Meaning, hey, hey, it's still possible.

00:17:50.200 Give us a call.

00:17:51.660 Witkoff and Kushner is like, no, we're good.

00:17:53.640 We're out.

00:17:53.980 Then put the other one up, Rob.

00:17:55.200 You cannot trust these people.

00:17:55.580 Hear the tweet I sent you.

00:17:57.100 Iran, U.S. talk Thursday.

00:17:58.300 Iran offered to ship out half of their uranium.

00:18:01.080 After years of will never stop in Richmond, they're negotiating how to get rid of it.

00:18:04.860 What happened?

00:18:05.360 U.S. envoy Witkoff on TV.

00:18:08.160 Why hasn't Iran capitulated?

00:18:10.180 Iran's foreign minister.

00:18:11.080 Because we're Iranian.

00:18:12.520 Iran also hinted they'll negotiate on Hezbollah Hamas.

00:18:15.500 Missile still off limits.

00:18:16.960 So, listen, they're gradually.

00:18:19.180 You know what this is, though, Vinny?

00:18:20.520 Here's where it's at.

00:18:22.180 My take.

00:18:23.320 My take.

00:18:25.980 Sometimes, you know, you negotiate with somebody and you'll make an offer.

00:18:32.280 Or, you know they're going to say what to.

00:18:35.200 No to.

00:18:36.140 Because guess what you want to do?

00:18:37.980 Give a different option.

00:18:39.060 No, you want to attack.

00:18:41.040 Because you already know your mind is made up.

00:18:44.440 Do you really think this entire time U.S. wanted to negotiate with Iran?

00:18:49.200 Do you really believe they were convinced that you could negotiate with Iran?

00:18:54.440 Do you know what would happen the moment they brokered a deal?

00:18:57.180 Guess what they would do the next day?

00:18:58.360 You know what highlight reel would be showing up?

00:19:00.480 What do you think the highlight reel would be showing up?

00:19:02.600 Of when Obama, the $150 billion Iran, and hey, all the Republicans that said don't go negotiate with them.

00:19:08.200 And look what you did, Obama.

00:19:09.200 You are officially Obama.

00:19:11.700 So, don't criticize Obama.

00:19:12.960 That's what I would do if I was on the other side.

00:19:15.100 That's what I would do if I was CNN playing those clips.

00:19:17.120 I'd be showing that clip the entire time.

00:19:18.960 I'm convinced this entire time they've known 90% where they stand.

00:19:24.360 I think the president and his team, from six months ago to today, their position on Iran has changed 5% to 10%.

00:19:33.460 Not 38% position that changed.

00:19:37.580 5% to 10%.

00:19:38.680 What they end up doing here with this, what happens afterwards?

00:19:43.900 Tom said it in the back and he said it again here.

00:19:46.460 What happens when you take out El Mencho?

00:19:48.520 What happens to Jalisco?

00:19:50.260 What happens to Mexico? 0.88

00:19:51.880 It's chaos.

00:19:52.480 What's going to happen if you take out, what do you call it?

00:19:56.820 Bless you.

00:19:57.480 What happens if you take out Khamenei and his sons and his people?

00:20:01.160 There's only one big difference.

00:20:03.060 You know what the big difference is?

00:20:04.300 Here's a big difference.

00:20:05.620 Massive difference.

00:20:06.980 In Mexico, the difference is El Mencho and his group, CJNG, they had bought all the cops. 0.88

00:20:16.020 Where here, it's U.S. coming in. 0.50

00:20:21.260 And we're not bought by Iran.

00:20:23.460 It's not like they're doing, it's the other way around where it's like, hey, you guys better do what we're doing.

00:20:27.480 I think they are shivering and the Iranian people are supporting it. 1.00

00:20:32.200 In Mexico, what did Scheinbaum, the president say?

00:20:35.400 No, leave it alone.

00:20:36.700 Don't come here.

00:20:37.760 So, I don't know.

00:20:38.500 The rule of law.

00:20:39.520 The rule of law.

00:20:40.480 I think the world would be a better place with Iran toppling. 1.00

00:20:45.640 Who replaces?

00:20:46.540 They asked a question.

00:20:47.460 Laura Trump asked a question from Whitcoff.

00:20:49.840 Rob, I don't know if you have that one.

00:20:51.140 When the name Reza Pahlavi came up and he says, this is not a Reza Pahlavi issue.

00:20:57.620 Go ahead, Rob, if you want to play this clip.

00:20:59.020 Go ahead.

00:21:00.240 Well, there's that pressure.

00:21:01.260 There's also pressure.

00:21:02.040 Audio is super low, so you've got to raise it.

00:21:03.620 From their own people. 0.85

00:21:04.780 Obviously, we've seen these major protests going on within the country.

00:21:08.280 The exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, has also laid out pretty clear steps as to how a transition of power might occur over there in his eyes.

00:21:17.960 Has he been part of any of this?

00:21:19.340 Have you guys had any conversations with him?

00:21:21.480 Well, I've met him at the direction of the president.

00:21:24.280 I actually, you know, it's public.

00:21:26.460 It's out there.

00:21:27.560 I think he's strong for his country.

00:21:29.060 He cares about his country.

00:21:30.000 But this is going to be about President Trump's policies, not Mr. Pahlavi's policies.

00:21:38.900 I think the president is interested in hearing everyone's views.

00:21:41.900 He has no pride of authorship is maybe the best way for me to say it, which I greatly respect because he's open to new ideas and new ways of thinking.

00:21:51.040 To move to Europe.

00:21:51.940 There you go.

00:21:53.380 So that's the part.

00:21:54.460 So what did he say, essentially?

00:21:55.880 He said, look, I met with him.

00:21:57.260 The president has done it.

00:21:58.160 But Whitcoff did.

00:21:58.880 And he says this is public info.

00:22:00.580 But this is not a Trump issue.

00:22:02.440 This is not a Pahlavi issue.

00:22:04.120 This is Trump's decision on what's going to be happening.

00:22:06.160 I think the way it's looking like right now, Rob, can you find out when is Venezuela's next election?

00:22:13.660 When is Venezuela's next election?

00:22:16.540 When is Venezuela's next election?

00:22:21.040 Let's see what the date is.

00:22:22.340 Is it six months from now?

00:22:23.620 Three months from now?

00:22:24.460 Two months from now?

00:22:25.880 When is their next presidential election?

00:22:28.900 Because, wow, unless there's a political crisis.

00:22:32.920 The Constitution has done it six years.

00:22:34.840 The last one has done it in 2020.

00:22:35.800 That just happened.

00:22:36.440 You know what I'm talking about based on this.

00:22:37.360 Okay.

00:22:37.680 So that means.

00:22:40.560 So you know what that means.

00:22:42.380 If it's in 2030, who the hell is in office in 2030?

00:22:47.360 Who's president in 2030?

00:22:48.880 We don't know.

00:22:50.100 So how the hell do you control the point of contact, Tom, with that?

00:22:53.360 Well, they have one caveat.

00:22:55.520 Venezuelan law allows early election if there's an absolute absent of president.

00:23:00.920 Death, resignation, removal, extraction.

00:23:05.060 By the way, which could trigger a new vote within 30 days.

00:23:09.760 Hasn't happened.

00:23:10.480 How long has it been?

00:23:12.300 When was the Venezuela, when they took Maduro?

00:23:14.960 What date was that?

00:23:16.580 Was it December 26th?

00:23:17.660 I don't know what date it was.

00:23:18.760 This year.

00:23:19.680 Was it this year?

00:23:20.460 Was it January?

00:23:21.100 When is it?

00:23:22.460 What date did they take them out?

00:23:23.640 There's so much that happened.

00:23:24.480 I forgot that.

00:23:25.140 So they could call one if they wanted, Pat.

00:23:27.520 They could gather.

00:23:28.340 Who's they?

00:23:30.140 When was that?

00:23:30.820 Well, the Venezuelan equivalent of parliament and congress.

00:23:35.020 But right now, you've got.

00:23:37.080 January 3rd.

00:23:37.440 January 3rd.

00:23:38.080 Happy New Year, Maduro.

00:23:38.880 So it's been a month and a half.

00:23:42.680 So then that means if they take out Khamenei, if they take out Pesaj, if they take out all 0.98

00:23:46.880 the people in Iran, how quickly will you have an election to replace it?

00:23:52.000 Election in Iran?

00:23:53.380 Yes.

00:23:54.200 Can I ask you a question on that?

00:23:55.500 Go for it.

00:23:56.640 Election in Iran seems like an oxymoron because let's look at case examples. 0.79

00:24:01.400 Right.

00:24:01.680 So what are the free, democratically elected rulers or countries in the Middle East?

00:24:08.660 I got one, Israel. 0.77

00:24:11.200 Any other Middle Eastern countries that practice democracy?

00:24:14.020 We've seen what happens when we try to implement our worldview over there.

00:24:17.640 It gets real ugly.

00:24:18.820 So you have three options.

00:24:19.920 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:24:21.060 You have supreme leader vibes, which is this complete theological, theocratic, Shiite regime, 0.99

00:24:29.100 which they seem to be done with.

00:24:30.580 First, you have king or ruler, which was the Shah, or you have democracy. 0.87

00:24:37.220 In my opinion, you have to go the middle version.

00:24:39.920 They're done with the Shiite ruler, and there's zero case examples that democracy will work 1.00

00:24:44.860 in the Middle East.

00:24:45.660 We could wish for it.

00:24:46.860 We could love it.

00:24:47.980 Yes, you're going to be just like America. 0.67

00:24:49.700 I don't know if that's possible there.

00:24:51.700 So maybe you need a temporary Shah, whether it's Reza Pallavi, whatever it is, but there's 0.98

00:24:57.760 no evidence in the last 50 years that a democracy can work in the Middle East. 0.91

00:25:03.940 You tell me.

00:25:04.560 Am I right?

00:25:05.040 Am I wrong?

00:25:05.940 Thoughts on this, PBD?

00:25:07.360 Well, no.

00:25:07.820 The argument of people saying, you know, let them have an election.

00:25:11.840 Let them choose their president.

00:25:12.940 Then if you take with the position you're saying, this isn't about let it fall and let's see

00:25:19.180 who takes over.

00:25:20.740 The way you're thinking, if they think the way you're thinking, they already have in mind

00:25:25.220 who's going to take over to lead Iran.

00:25:28.420 Do you understand what I just said?

00:25:29.700 Yeah, of course.

00:25:30.100 Do you understand what I'm saying?

00:25:30.760 It's a mystery, math and a riddle and a quagmire.

00:25:33.160 We don't know.

00:25:33.820 And do you think the administration knows what they want to do?

00:25:36.900 Or do you think the administration is also saying, let's just do the job and see what

00:25:40.820 happens next?

00:25:41.920 Sadly, I think there's a part that's like, guys, we don't know what.

00:25:45.640 That's horrible.

00:25:46.700 Okay, of course.

00:25:47.540 We learned when we went into Afghanistan and Iraq that we don't know Sunni, Shiite, Alawite,

00:25:53.060 who's this, what's going on, Hezbollah, our friend Hezbollah is now working.

00:25:57.260 They're friends with these people, the proxies.

00:25:59.220 It's so messy out there and it's so tribal out there. 1.00

00:26:02.080 We have no clue what we're doing, but we know this one thing.

00:26:05.040 Magba, Ayatollah.

00:26:06.260 We know that.

00:26:08.040 Vinny, go ahead.

00:26:08.760 I don't know.

00:26:09.080 What do you think?

00:26:09.820 Do you think they know what happens after they execute their mission?

00:26:13.720 No, because everybody's attitude is, like Adams, which I understand, just get rid of the

00:26:19.400 bad guy that's doing all the problems on the chaos, but it doesn't work that way.

00:26:23.720 You have to, dude, and I keep saying it, besides the people, God bless them, they need

00:26:28.100 it.

00:26:28.600 The military and the people that are running everything, it's so important.

00:26:33.300 You can't just pluck them out.

00:26:34.400 That's like somebody coming, taking Pat out, the board getting rid of Pat, and a new CEO

00:26:38.780 comes in, and they're like, well, it has different ideas, different things.

00:26:42.300 It doesn't work like that.

00:26:43.440 Or they don't even have a CEO.

00:26:44.660 Or the new CEO's going to kind of be like Pat, but he's going to have different agendas.

00:26:49.540 No, bro, this is sore.

00:26:51.080 That's why I think it's taking so long, because they don't know.

00:26:54.040 They don't know.

00:26:54.820 I'm all for it. 0.97

00:26:55.940 Khomeini, death to America, the way he treats the women, the way he treats his people, the 1.00

00:26:59.640 way he kills the people, and the way the military's doing it, shame on them. 0.99

00:27:02.840 I agree with you.

00:27:03.960 And we've seen this in election.

00:27:05.540 You see it in free countries election.

00:27:07.540 It's when the public is fed up.

00:27:09.360 The voters are fed up.

00:27:10.620 And all of a sudden, the voters do this.

00:27:13.100 Anything but this.

00:27:15.440 Yes.

00:27:16.040 And guess what?

00:27:17.120 That's how Mamdani got elected in New York.

00:27:19.420 Look, affordability, rent problems, things that are happening in New York.

00:27:23.880 And the middle class and the left side of it took enough independence with them.

00:27:29.420 And Mamdani gets elected on anything but this.

00:27:32.480 I'll give you free buses.

00:27:33.660 I'll make the buses free.

00:27:34.720 I'll give you free grocery stores.

00:27:36.120 I'll make this free.

00:27:37.200 Because in the face of everything, and the voters do it.

00:27:39.980 We saw it happen here.

00:27:41.060 What the people over there are saying is, I am willing to protest.

00:27:44.820 And they are brave souls right now saying, I am willing to protest, even though I know

00:27:48.780 what has happened to 30,000 to 40,000 of my countrymen.

00:27:52.200 I am going out in the streets.

00:27:53.800 I am going to go here. 1.00

00:27:55.060 And we want you to cut the head off the snake. 1.00

00:27:57.640 We want anything but this. 1.00

00:27:59.960 And that's what you're seeing.

00:28:01.240 And I think if there was a clear path, we already would have intervened.

00:28:04.640 And the nuclear part of it is forcing our hand to move faster.

00:28:11.340 And I agree with Pat.

00:28:12.440 I don't think we've changed what we thought.

00:28:14.000 We said, look, we're going to try and do this.

00:28:15.360 We're going to try and talk to these guys.

00:28:16.400 You're going to do it.

00:28:16.840 But they're not going to do it.

00:28:18.260 Ultimately, we're going to have to push them.

00:28:20.900 And when the nuclear capability gets too close, you know what we've got to do? 0.77

00:28:26.600 We've got to cut the head off the snake. 0.97

00:28:28.220 And I think that's where we are. 0.99

00:28:29.640 And think about it.

00:28:30.620 You're talking about nuclear capabilities.

00:28:32.440 You take al-Qomeini. 0.99

00:28:33.320 Adam, who's running their nuclear program?

00:28:35.720 The leaders are like, we'll give you half the uranium.

00:28:37.740 We'll give you half of it.

00:28:38.800 Let me just be clear.

00:28:40.280 You're kind of saying just keep Khomeini there.

00:28:42.580 I did not say that at all.

00:28:43.420 Until we figure out a better option.

00:28:44.360 No, no, no, no.

00:28:45.100 So I'm trying to understand your point.

00:28:46.440 You have to have a plan in place before you take out a country's number one guy.

00:28:50.940 Of course you do.

00:28:51.600 Or else nothing's going to change.

00:28:53.200 You know what the difference is between us and them?

00:28:55.340 Biden and his administration crapped on this country and tried to destroy us.

00:28:59.660 Tried to destroy us.

00:29:00.600 Guess what we got to do?

00:29:01.480 We got to go to the voting booth and he won in an insane fashion.

00:29:05.700 He won all the swing states.

00:29:06.880 He won the popular vote.

00:29:07.740 He won everything.

00:29:08.760 They don't have that opportunity.

00:29:10.960 They don't get to go vote.

00:29:12.280 It's who's in charge and who's in charge.

00:29:13.540 What I'm saying is, Adam, he needs to go.

00:29:15.760 Yes.

00:29:16.340 Why it's taking so long?

00:29:17.620 They don't have the guy.

00:29:19.040 They don't have the plan.

00:29:20.200 And I'm pretty sure outside forces are like, just take him out already. 1.00

00:29:23.440 Just kill him. 0.99

00:29:24.300 You can't do that without a backup plan. 1.00

00:29:26.500 That's it.

00:29:26.920 I just have one last question.

00:29:27.680 I know Pat wants to move on.

00:29:28.380 When you say taking so long, Trump's been in power for a year.

00:29:33.160 Yeah.

00:29:33.520 Okay.

00:29:33.760 And this thing, this has been ongoing for how long, Pat?

00:29:37.340 47 years.

00:29:39.040 Listen, if it was easy, we would do it already.

00:29:41.180 This is a very hard thing to do.

00:29:43.520 Exactly.

00:29:44.060 Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people will die.

00:29:47.080 So I'm actually gracious and grateful that they're actually taking their time and not 1.00

00:29:52.480 going in like idiots, like George W. Bush did in Iraq and Afghanistan. 1.00

00:29:55.900 I agree. 1.00

00:29:56.360 I agree.

00:29:57.040 For the last seven or eight days, we've been at the Magic Show in Las Vegas, and we're

00:30:02.320 currently at Italy at the Mikem Show, the Milan Show, the show that everybody shows up.

00:30:08.400 Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes, everybody.

00:30:11.600 And you know who was there this year?

00:30:13.180 Future Looks Bright Shoes.

00:30:14.260 There, we sent Pete, Leo, and Michele.

00:30:18.760 Went over there, having a great time.

00:30:20.820 Go ahead and give him an update on what's going on with these FLB shoes in Vegas at the Magic

00:30:24.460 Show, as well as Mikem.

00:30:25.440 Go ahead, Rob.

00:30:25.900 I just can't do that.

00:30:55.140 Okay.

00:30:57.140 By the way, you know what I'm wearing today?

00:30:58.700 Clean.

00:30:59.160 Again, let me say this to you guys.

00:31:01.400 I'm wearing my brown ones, okay?

00:31:03.800 Future Looks Bright.

00:31:05.200 Vinny's wearing his black ones, okay?

00:31:07.720 From September 9th, when I tell you from September 9th till today, I've only worn these shoes except

00:31:14.480 for five days, that's all I wear.

00:31:16.740 Five days, okay?

00:31:18.100 And I love them.

00:31:19.540 They're so comfortable.

00:31:20.700 Every day, this is all I wear.

00:31:23.180 For some of you guys that are asking questions about shoes, we haven't done a CTA for a couple

00:31:27.500 weeks because it sells out every time we do them, okay?

00:31:30.900 So if you haven't picked one up for yourself yet, go to the site, take a look at the shoe.

00:31:37.000 Compared with all the other shoes, the Berlutis, the Fergamos, the Zenias, the Gucci's, if you

00:31:41.340 want a shoe that has the same, you know, foam, the foam technology in the bottom, like the OnCloud

00:31:49.200 or the Hocas, and then the look of a Zenia with the leather, genuine leather from Tuscany,

00:31:54.260 Italy, and you want to combine the two together for a reasonable price while you can sit in

00:31:59.440 a boardroom, put up your shoe on your knee, and it says Future Looks Bright and get the

00:32:03.220 deal done.

00:32:04.040 If you're that kind of a person, go to vtmerge.com, place your order.
