00:00:00.000 Muchtaba Khamenei is officially the new supreme leader of Iran.
00:00:04.780 They just announced it. Celebration.
00:00:06.460 Rob, if you want to play this clip, when the announcement was made, go for it.
00:00:09.980 Member of the Assembly of Experts, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muchtaba Khamenei.
00:00:18.080 Our dear leader, our guardian jurist, Allah.
00:00:22.160 Great Akbar.
00:00:25.920 What happened there?
00:00:28.120 What is this, Rob?
00:00:29.140 Is this, because it's not.
00:00:30.180 It's AI translated.
00:00:31.300 Allahu Akbar.
00:00:32.500 God is the greatest.
00:00:34.020 Okay.
00:00:34.620 Well, by the way, to give credit, there's a lot of celebration going on in this clip because
00:00:41.380 this is pro-IRGC community that's out there announcing that they just got their new supreme
00:00:48.180 leader.
00:00:48.860 But let me announce to you what happened with this new job.
00:00:51.460 And I said that earlier, but I'm going to put this in the clip because I want the clip
00:00:53.980 to go out.
00:00:54.420 Then, Tom, Vinny, Adam, I'm coming to you guys on this.
00:00:57.320 Imagine you just got a job.
00:00:58.660 Hey, we want you to be the leader, the supreme leader of Iran.
00:01:02.220 Like, okay.
00:01:03.640 But just in the last week, your father was killed.
00:01:07.780 Your mother was killed.
00:01:09.380 Your wife was killed. 0.99
00:01:10.920 Your son was killed. 0.99
00:01:12.460 Your sister was killed.
00:01:14.100 Your brother-in-law was killed.
00:01:15.780 And other nephews and nieces were killed.
00:01:17.800 And congratulations.
00:01:19.260 Now you're the supreme leader.
00:01:20.800 And a moment that is announced, an article comes out saying you've already been wounded.
00:01:24.640 Okay?
00:01:24.900 Which you know you're going to be a target because the president says Iran confirms new
00:01:28.820 supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is wounded.
00:01:31.560 So, one, you're a target.
00:01:33.380 They're going to take you out.
00:01:34.120 They want to take you out.
00:01:35.420 Number two, you want to seek vengeance.
00:01:36.960 What would you do?
00:01:37.700 So, Tom, your thoughts with the new, were you surprised that this is a new supreme leader
00:01:41.960 or just kind of something, a name that was coming up?
00:01:44.240 No, they're going to proceed and they're going to name a new leader.
00:01:47.380 They are never going to back down and say, okay, you know, our supreme leader was, you
00:01:52.760 know, killed, removed, assassinated, depending on who's saying the story, right?
00:01:56.820 Vinny, they'll pick the word.
00:01:58.200 Nonetheless, him, his family, people that were there, the bunker busters got all the way
00:02:02.860 downstairs and a lot of people died.
00:02:05.180 Well, they're going to name a new one.
00:02:06.860 It's just like the, even at times of war and unrest, there was always a new pope name.
00:02:12.760 There was always a new pope.
00:02:13.800 So, they're going to do this.
00:02:15.980 Now, what happens now is it's a new target because the regime collapse is the strategy.
00:02:22.380 And so, if this guy and his anger and vengeance, because you told me about that when Ayatollah 0.78
00:02:30.400 Rola Khomeini came in 79.
00:02:33.460 Rola Khomeini.
00:02:34.400 Rola Khomeini, yes.
00:02:35.240 Yep.
00:02:35.720 When he came up, he says everybody knew it was bad news because they knew he had a chip.
00:02:40.440 They knew he had a mission.
00:02:41.300 They knew he was really, you know, violent and ruthless underneath.
00:02:45.340 So, they knew what was coming.
00:02:47.000 This guy, never mind that he's going to be thinking of the vengeance of all of these family
00:02:53.160 members.
00:02:54.160 Never mind he's going to be thinking of following in his father.
00:02:57.600 Never mind that the supreme leader is a kind of militaristic leader.
00:03:03.800 Never mind all that.
00:03:04.640 This guy in place is a target because they want to take the regime down.
00:03:09.260 And if this guy gets power or rally people's up, that's just a problem.
00:03:12.520 Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything, like packing a spare stick.
00:03:21.940 I like to be prepared.
00:03:23.580 That's why I remember 988, Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline.
00:03:27.460 It's good to know, just in case.
00:03:29.620 Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder, anytime.
00:03:34.220 988, Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the government in Canada.
00:03:38.340 Look, everything that comes down with Ayatollah comes into three camps, right? 0.93
00:03:46.520 So you have the camp that absolutely loves this guy.
00:03:49.500 They think he's the heaven on earth.
00:03:51.640 There's nothing that he could do wrong.
00:03:53.580 God bless you, PBD.
00:03:55.120 God bless you, too, Adam.
00:03:56.400 These are the religious zealots.
00:03:57.760 They absolutely love this guy.
00:03:59.200 There's no talking these people out of that.
00:04:01.580 And I get it.
00:04:02.700 I respect that.
00:04:04.020 Then there's the people that are just like, whether they're in Iran or whether they're 0.92
00:04:07.800 around the world, they're just like, look, I get it.
00:04:10.300 You have your religious beliefs.
00:04:12.060 Just let me do my own thing.
00:04:14.300 Cool.
00:04:14.900 Let me have my beliefs.
00:04:16.580 Stay out of my way.
00:04:17.480 Almost like a libertarian perspective.
00:04:19.440 And then there's the people who are like, no, you've had your chance.
00:04:24.380 You've had 47 years of rule.
00:04:26.380 We know what you stand for. 0.99
00:04:28.360 Stay the F out of my life. 0.71
00:04:30.620 And unfortunately, the people in the middle are going to get run over.
00:04:35.320 And you have to realize this.
00:04:36.820 The loyalists and the people who want this guy out of their life forever are going to
00:04:41.580 clash at some point.
00:04:42.860 And it's going to get ugly.
00:04:44.240 And it's going to get messy.
00:04:46.560 And thank God we have America on the right side of history that's defending the people
00:04:50.700 that want this guy out.
00:04:52.560 I don't know how long he's going to be there.
00:04:54.580 Tick, tick, tick.
00:04:55.360 We'll see how long it lasts.
00:04:56.760 Tick, tick, tick is actually it because this is probably the worst promotion.
00:05:00.620 In the history of promotions.
00:05:02.580 It's like being promoted the captain of the Titanic.
00:05:04.580 You don't want this on your resume?
00:05:05.720 No.
00:05:06.000 After it hit the iceberg, they're like, congratulations.
00:05:08.460 I don't want to be the captain, Pat.
00:05:11.080 But you have to understand.
00:05:11.600 You're the new starting quarterback of the Jets.
00:05:13.360 Yeah, exactly.
00:05:14.020 After.
00:05:14.400 Yeah.
00:05:14.780 No, no.
00:05:15.180 Which may be a worse job, Tom.
00:05:16.480 Yeah, no.
00:05:16.780 It's horrible.
00:05:17.100 By the way, the guy that won it was a previous starting quarterback of the Jets.
00:05:20.160 So that joke doesn't work anymore because Sam Darnold won the Super Bowl.
00:05:22.840 Exactly.
00:05:23.320 So now that's backwards.
00:05:24.320 But not on the Jets.
00:05:25.900 Or they all got hurt.
00:05:26.980 Not on the Jets.
00:05:27.460 But you all got hurt.
00:05:28.540 But not up in your life.
00:05:30.100 Remember in Godfather how Robert De Niro played the character of the Don.
00:05:37.360 And remember, his father was killed.
00:05:39.540 They killed the mother.
00:05:40.620 And then how long did he wait?
00:05:42.160 40 years?
00:05:43.020 45 years?
00:05:43.900 To come and avenge the death?
00:05:45.060 Imagine this guy and what gripe and how much anger he is.
00:05:47.940 He doesn't have 40 years.
00:05:49.040 He doesn't have.
00:05:49.680 Exactly.
00:05:50.060 He doesn't have that.
00:05:50.900 But by the way, they know where he is.
00:05:52.560 They know between Mossad, CIA, UK.
00:05:57.320 I don't know about MI6 if they're involved.
00:05:59.120 They might be.
00:05:59.960 But they know exactly where he is, where he's sleeping, who he's talking to.
00:06:03.100 That's not the question.
00:06:03.940 But the question is, what is somebody like the UK going to do?
00:06:07.080 Mind you, this guy, they know where his houses are.
00:06:09.460 He owns $100 million worth of houses.
00:06:11.360 We talked about it last year on Billionaire's Row.
00:06:14.060 Billionaire's Row in North London.
00:06:15.520 I wonder if they're going to get involved.
00:06:16.980 Is he going to be visiting?
00:06:17.960 Where is he at?
00:06:19.500 You know what I mean?
00:06:19.880 He's worth $3 billion.
00:06:20.500 By the way, their family, just so you know, is documented.
00:06:24.040 An article was done on the Khamenei family net worth.
00:06:26.600 Yeah.
00:06:27.000 At one point, $95 billion.
00:06:29.640 $95 billion.
00:06:30.340 Can you type in, Rob, Khamenei net worth?
00:06:33.520 Yeah, family net worth.
00:06:35.540 Can you imagine?
00:06:36.280 Rob now knows how to talk about Khamenei like Jones. 0.99
00:06:38.740 I never thought the day would come, Rob.
00:06:40.080 Rob speaks Farsi at this point.
00:06:41.320 Look at that.
00:06:41.820 Their net worth is estimated to be between $95 to $200 billion.
00:06:45.640 Yeah, but you know why that is, though.
00:06:46.980 No, they make this money because they're big AI technology.
00:06:50.260 Oh, they're tech entrepreneurs?
00:06:51.760 They're capitalists?
00:06:52.360 Is that what they are?
00:06:52.820 So, Pat, let me ask you a question.
00:06:53.380 Are they siphoning off the money from the Iranians?
00:06:55.640 So, Pat, let me ask you a question.
00:06:56.980 Probably capitalists, right?
00:06:57.260 So, Pat, let me ask you a question.
00:06:58.500 Yes.
00:06:58.860 This guy's next up.
00:07:00.260 Do you really think he's about that life?
00:07:02.780 This playboy having all this lavish life?
00:07:05.840 He's worth all that money.
00:07:06.940 What do you mean about that life?
00:07:08.020 No, I'm saying, like, you think he wants to step up?
00:07:10.780 You think?
00:07:11.300 You don't think he's about thug life?
00:07:12.600 By the way, let's be honest.
00:07:14.320 You're the son of...
00:07:15.300 Adam, 50 people in your circle, family members, brothers, cousins, they're all dead. 0.97
00:07:21.000 You think he's about that Allah, Akbar, I'm going to die and get burned in it? 0.97
00:07:24.160 Yes.
00:07:24.500 No, I don't think...
00:07:25.140 No.
00:07:25.540 I respect the question.
00:07:26.800 I don't think he's about that life.
00:07:27.720 Can I answer that?
00:07:29.360 Yes, he's about that life.
00:07:30.620 Okay, we'll see.
00:07:31.600 Everyone in that inner circle is, quote, unquote, about that life.
00:07:35.700 Well, he's about to get that missile.
00:07:37.680 By the way, I think we talked about him being the Ayatollah on Friday, as if it was breaking
00:07:42.540 news that had happened over the weekend.
00:07:44.620 This guy, he's been groomed for this position.
00:07:47.440 It's not like they were like, who's this going to be?
00:07:49.580 Their father was 186 years old fighting Rocky Marciano, and then all of a sudden he's the
00:07:55.640 new leader.
00:07:56.080 They knew this was going to happen.
00:07:57.420 He's been groomed.
00:07:58.200 He's gone through the training camp, so to speak.
00:08:00.460 He has the ideological beliefs.
00:08:02.320 Can I push back?
00:08:02.600 And this is what he stands for.
00:08:03.620 Can I push back?
00:08:04.180 They killed the entire...
00:08:05.900 He wasn't next up, Adam.
00:08:07.120 This is just the son.
00:08:08.160 They killed everybody.
00:08:09.620 It's not just his son.
00:08:10.580 It's his son.
00:08:12.040 Adam, let me finish.
00:08:13.160 I'll wait.
00:08:13.960 Again, because you've been doing this a lot.
00:08:15.240 I'll let you breathe.
00:08:16.760 He wasn't next in line.
00:08:18.180 They had a gang of people in line. 0.99
00:08:20.360 We killed all of them. 0.67
00:08:21.720 So now he went from Adam. 0.97
00:08:23.160 He was the 20th backup quarterback.
00:08:25.660 Now what's up to him?
00:08:26.800 He has houses in UK and he's traveling.
00:08:29.460 This guy, I personally don't believe he's about that life.
00:08:32.620 Now he's being forced to be put in that life, and guess what?
00:08:35.880 He's not going to last long.
00:08:36.880 Okay, so touche.
00:08:37.720 I'm going to throw one back at you when I heard you out.
00:08:39.800 What's your point?
00:08:40.580 My point is this.
00:08:41.760 I don't think a guy that's buying luxury houses and has all these cars and everything thought
00:08:46.360 that we were going to kill every single person in the circle, and now he went from the 50th
00:08:51.280 in line to number one.
00:08:52.860 Okay, so I'll ask a very calm, collected conversation.
00:08:55.880 Chaba, you're up. 0.98
00:08:56.660 If he didn't want it, which I don't think you're right, why would he take the job?
00:09:02.200 No, they made him get the job.
00:09:04.080 He didn't sit there and go, I'll take it.
00:09:05.760 He's next.
00:09:06.560 You got to take it, Adam.
00:09:08.080 He's in the line.
00:09:08.760 Well, listen, I never thought.
00:09:09.720 This is the highest order of honor you could possibly have as supreme.
00:09:12.800 I'm trying to read the underlying debate here.
00:09:14.960 Are you guys saying whether he listens more to like a Wu-Tang Klang or Tupac, like cash
00:09:19.540 rules everything around me or thug life?
00:09:21.940 Oh, great.
00:09:22.400 He's Wu-Tang.
00:09:22.580 You think he's Wu-Tang.
00:09:23.440 He's cream. 0.83
00:09:24.540 He's hit him up.
00:09:25.140 All right.
00:09:25.680 I think it's Wu-Tang.
00:09:26.880 He's already hurt.
00:09:27.580 He's Wu-Tang.
00:09:28.100 He's already hurt.
00:09:28.580 All right.
00:09:29.040 Okay, so.
00:09:29.900 Pat, what do you think?
00:09:31.280 This is natural progression.
00:09:32.460 What do you think?
00:09:33.080 You have an eye on this.
00:09:34.060 You have a finger on the pulse.
00:09:34.940 I think this was the guy to get the job because Khomeini, believe it or not, Khomeini's grandson
00:09:40.660 who was one of the candidates, they put him in that school that they, you know, whatever
00:09:46.740 the main school is that you go to where they develop you, the indoctrination school.
00:09:51.140 I had the Prince of Islam that came on board when we were talking to him.
00:09:55.720 He went to school with Khomeini's grandson and they actually didn't give him anything.
00:10:01.620 They kind of set him aside on the sideline and didn't do anything with him.
00:10:05.180 So I don't think Khomeini's son was going to get the job.
00:10:07.040 If they kill him, he may get the job.
00:10:09.100 But let me tell you what just happened, Rob. 0.81
00:10:10.280 Go back to one of the clips that you had.
00:10:12.340 The grandson, the son of, this is Ayatollah Khomeini's grandson.
00:10:18.440 This is what he said.
00:10:19.540 The grandson said this four weeks ago, folks.
00:10:23.180 Go ahead.
00:10:31.640 Israel's new full world that if a date comes when any Islamic nation is capable of firing missiles at Israel. 0.91
00:10:36.580 and strike at Israel and if they are capable of erasing Israel,
00:10:44.060 they will do to Israel what Hamas did to it. 0.84
00:10:50.980 All the Islamic nations, all of them. 1.00
00:10:54.760 Today we see that some countries in the region are not fulfilling their duty,
00:11:01.520 saying they are incapable of doing so.
00:11:03.640 Israel knows, America knows, and the leaders of the superpowers know.
00:11:12.180 And if a day comes when the Islamic countries are capable of bombing Israel, you can pause it right there. 1.00
00:11:18.400 Okay.
00:11:19.660 This is the son of the guy that just became the supreme leader, by the way.
00:11:23.220 Is this guy one of the ones that was killed in the bombing?
00:11:27.240 No, I don't think so.
00:11:28.300 That's a good question.
00:11:29.260 I don't think it's this one that was killed.
00:11:31.120 You know, the one thing about Muslims, they have a lot of kids. 1.00
00:11:33.280 It says at least one son reported killed.
00:11:35.100 Okay, Rob, can you check to see if that was the son that was killed?
00:11:38.100 Yes.
00:11:38.440 I don't think it was him, though.
00:11:39.720 So, Pat, if it wasn't him, guess what, Adam?
00:11:43.420 That's the guy that's about that life.
00:11:45.720 This guy's about that life.
00:11:47.060 I haven't seen one video of the son of Khomeini talk reckless like that.
00:11:51.660 That guy's living the lavish life.
00:11:53.660 I haven't heard one speech saying, if we had nukes, if we had bombs, whatever, let's erase Israel. 0.86
00:11:58.820 Can I ask you a question?
00:11:59.360 That guy's, yes.
00:12:00.160 So, Vinny, Adam, what do you think?
00:12:02.880 Look at the westernization and the attraction.
00:12:05.780 When I say westernization on the business front, western hotels, western businesses that are trying to attract.
00:12:13.140 It's called Television City, I believe, is in Dubai.
00:12:16.920 Okay.
00:12:17.120 It's a little area where it's basically media companies.
00:12:20.420 And, you know, Tucker Carlson buying a place in Qatar.
00:12:25.660 And we'll leave out everything else about Tucker.
00:12:27.980 But the point is there's a lot of people and a lot of things happening over there.
00:12:31.380 Do you think those people are awaiting to get nuclear weapons to erase Israel while they're basically doing deals with the west and expanding? 0.75
00:12:39.460 And the PIF is investing in companies in the west and all that?
00:12:45.420 They find it kind of hard to believe that everyone is sitting there below the surface that they all secretly wish they could nuke Israel. 0.89
00:12:52.080 Yeah, no, I agree in the fact that not Dubai and stuff.
00:12:55.700 Like, Dubai is like Vegas now.
00:12:57.280 They're trying to expand and they're trying to be, you know, westernized.
00:12:59.960 But I do believe that there's certain ones, Tom, there's certain ones, absolutely, that would, Tom, anybody that has the attitude of death to us, I have a huge problem with that.
00:13:09.440 And this, and this notion, this notion of just leave them alone.
00:13:14.880 Like, we don't need to be involved with anybody, but you do not, like, Tom, and I'm asking you genuinely, you're an educated man.
00:13:20.820 You're very educated.
00:13:22.120 If I was threatening to kill you constantly, and I'm killing people in my family, I'm just, and I'm building something at some point, would you ignore me forever? 0.54
00:13:30.540 Would you ignore me and let me get to the point where I can do it? 0.99
00:13:33.800 Because I'm, what, do you think I'm talking reckless?
00:13:35.320 Or do you think I actually mean what I, what I'm saying?
00:13:37.600 Uh, I would assume that you meant it, right?
00:13:40.720 Yeah.
00:13:41.240 So would you do something to stop me?
00:13:42.880 Or would you just say, no, guys, we don't get involved, let them go.
00:13:45.560 Absolutely.
00:13:45.920 Yeah, so Rob ran a poll, 5,000 votes.
00:13:49.480 How long will Khamenei remain as Supreme Leader of Iran?
00:13:52.580 Days, weeks, months, years?
00:13:54.380 Look what the poll came back as.
00:13:56.260 53% think it's days.
00:13:59.260 Boom, bingo.
00:13:59.820 So you got 81% say he's got weeks to live.
00:14:04.100 Days to weeks to live.
