Valuetainment - “Trump Will NEVER Forget” - Trump HAMMERS NATO Over Hormuz Backdown

00:00:00.040 Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice.

00:00:04.800 I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community.

00:00:07.940 Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime.

00:00:12.200 I wonder if my out-of-office has a forever setting.

00:00:30.000 I think the NATO story kind of goes with everything that's going on in Iran.

00:00:34.400 The president went up to them and said, hey, listen, we need you guys to be with us.

00:00:39.960 Are you with us or not?

00:00:41.540 I'm just paraphrasing.

00:00:43.540 And it was a very different approach.

00:00:45.520 I think Keir Starmer came out.

00:00:47.440 If you have that clip, Rob, if you want to play the clip with Starmer,

00:00:50.280 here's what he had to say about their involvement in a war with Iran.

00:00:54.820 Go for it.

00:00:55.640 Our priority is always the national interest.

00:01:00.000 And so we have been clear and consistent in our objectives throughout this conflict.

00:01:07.400 First, we will protect our people in the region.

00:01:12.660 Second, while taking the necessary action to defend ourselves and our allies,

00:01:18.800 we will not be drawn into the wider war.

00:01:24.480 And third, we will keep working towards a swift resolution.

00:01:30.000 that brings security and stability back to the region and stops the iranian threat to its neighbors 1.00

00:01:38.960 i want to see an end to this war as quickly as possible because the longer it goes on

00:01:46.720 the more dangerous the situation becomes and the worse it is for the cost of living back here at

00:01:54.480 time okay so that's kirk starmer saying that the president i think responds to it as well rob you

00:01:59.980 got to maybe a a clip on that there's an article from wall street journal saying u.s allies rebuff

00:02:05.200 trump's demand for help opening strait of hormuz president trump is pressuring allies to help open

00:02:10.640 the strait of hormuz and relive pressure of the global economy and relieve so far most of them

00:02:16.800 aren't biting germany has rejected taking apart taking part while japan and australia have

00:02:21.980 indicated they are unlikely to send vessels to help.

00:02:25.520 Britain and France said they are assessing possible action

00:02:28.660 but haven't committed to doing anything before fighting halts.

00:02:33.320 All our close U.S. allies, on Monday, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius

00:02:40.440 dismissed Trump's call for help, asking rhetorically what Trump expects

00:02:44.540 a handful or two handful of European frigates to accomplish in the Strait of Hormuz

00:02:50.500 that the powerful U.S. Navy there cannot achieve on its own.

00:02:54.520 This is not our war. We did not start it.

00:02:56.680 Trump sent a pointed message to allies over the weekend.

00:02:59.800 Rob, is that the clip that you have?

00:03:01.240 This is yes, Boris.

00:03:02.380 You want to go to the president first because I already read this.

00:03:04.820 Just go to the clip you have with the president.

00:03:06.440 Here's the president. Go for it.

00:03:07.520 I was very surprised with the United Kingdom

00:03:10.160 because the United Kingdom, two weeks ago, I said,

00:03:14.440 why don't you send some ships over?

00:03:16.180 And he really didn't want to do it.

00:03:18.480 I said, you don't want to do it.

00:03:19.920 we've been with you. You're our oldest ally, and we spend a lot of money on, you know, NATO and all

00:03:26.840 of these things to protect you. I mean, we're protecting them. We're working with them on

00:03:31.300 Ukraine. Ukraine's thousands of miles away, separated by a vast ocean. We don't have to do

00:03:37.800 that, but we did it. Well, Biden did it. I mean, I have to be honest with you. Biden got taken to

00:03:43.040 the cleaners. But we worked with them in Ukraine. We don't need to work with them in Ukraine. 0.98

00:03:48.640 And then they tell us that we have a mind chip around and they don't want to do it.

00:03:54.760 I think it's I think it's terrible.

00:03:56.800 No, I would I was very surprised.

00:03:58.660 I told him, you know, we requested two aircraft carriers, which they had.

00:04:03.480 And he didn't really want to do it.

00:04:06.480 And then right after the war essentially ended, you know, meaning they were obliterated.

00:04:11.400 He said, I would like to send the aircraft carriers.

00:04:15.360 I said, I don't need them after the war has ended.

00:04:18.640 and won i needed before the war so i was very upset with not upset i was i was not happy

00:04:25.380 with the uk uh i think they'll be involved yeah maybe but they should be involved enthusiastically

00:04:32.440 we've been protecting these countries for years with nato jeff your thoughts yeah i mean what is

00:04:38.120 the reason that they can really come up with to say we don't want to participate in this i mean

00:04:42.060 why is the u what is really going on here with the uk is it really a political thing here because

00:04:46.300 That's the immediate thought I have.

00:04:48.700 On why they're not wanting to get involved?

00:04:50.180 Yeah.

00:04:50.660 Is it really partisan politics?

00:04:53.080 Are they really looking to say, if we drag this out a little bit more,

00:04:56.280 then Trump will relinquish and that will be...

00:04:58.420 Speculate.

00:04:58.900 What do you think it could be?

00:05:00.240 I think that's what it is, honestly.

00:05:01.660 Purely?

00:05:02.460 Purely politics.

00:05:03.340 Tom, where are you at?

00:05:04.280 I'm on the same page.

00:05:05.120 I think that the Europeans are playing very careful.

00:05:08.300 You know, I parsed the words out, what Strummer said,

00:05:11.420 and at the very open it says,

00:05:12.580 we're interested in our national interest protecting our people he sounds very very

00:05:17.880 noble and all of a sudden he's of the uk by the uk for the uk wait a minute he's a globalist that

00:05:23.960 was caught on a train with macron hiding a coke spoon and they were talking all about we are

00:05:29.180 family and all these globalists agenda suddenly he's the noble statesman you know hearkening

00:05:35.880 back to neville chamberlain of the uk i think that the the european leadership actually is enjoying

00:05:45.420 the fact that trump is in what looks like an extended war i think they are enjoying it brandon

00:05:52.060 yeah they don't want a swift ending or to help trump uh safe face here i mean the audacity after

00:05:57.360 all that we've done for them i mean not once not twice but three times we've uh we've been there

00:06:02.080 for europe in major ways i mean world war one we saved uk uk would be decimated if it wasn't for

00:06:07.160 us in world war one they would be decimated if it wasn't for us in world war two then in with 0.98

00:06:11.040 nato we didn't have to be um do nato but i mean um part of it was just to like uh revamp the

00:06:16.660 military industrial complex so i mean like we recreated this fake thing that we didn't even

00:06:20.480 need and like under the guise of protecting europe from russia when russia wanted to be part of nato

00:06:24.700 so um yeah no i think i think we have plenty of leverage over the uk and the rest of europe they

00:06:30.240 They get 50 percent of their liquid natural gas from America since 2022.

00:06:34.360 Before that, it was only 10 percent.

00:06:35.860 So, you know, we could cut that right off if we want to.

00:06:38.440 What's given them this this much of a backing to say we're not going to say it?

00:06:43.680 Where is the confidence from?

00:06:45.120 That's the interesting part, because they get half of their weapons from us and half their liquid natural gas from us. 0.98

00:06:48.960 I mean, either you are double dumb or someone behind closed doors is saying, don't worry about it. 0.98

00:06:53.640 We have your back. Because while this is going on, Trump was supposed to go visit G March 31st. 0.99

00:06:58.960 first right and he said we'll see based on how the calls go well guess what the calls apparently

00:07:04.420 didn't go as planned because trump says u.s asked china to delay xi meeting a month or so

00:07:11.060 due to iran war so why are we delaying it rob you want to play that clip is this him

00:07:17.320 yep go for it i don't know we're working on that right now i i we're speaking to china i'd love to

00:07:24.040 but because of the war i want to be here i have to be here i feel um and so we've requested that

00:07:32.800 we delay it a month or so and i'm looking forward to being with him we have a very good relationship

00:07:37.200 so so to me is this is this nato and those guys are sitting around saying hey we got to be careful

00:07:47.100 with china maybe china's got our back you know let's kind of sit this one out you nato if you're

00:07:53.980 Look up who gives the most money to NATO.

00:07:55.640 We know who it is.

00:07:56.360 This is something that everybody knows, that U.S. gives the most money.

00:07:59.160 I don't know how many billions of dollars we helped them out with.

00:08:02.540 He made the point with Ukraine.

00:08:04.240 We gave how much money under Biden to Ukraine?

00:08:07.660 $300 billion.

00:08:08.240 How much?

00:08:08.560 I think $300 billion.

00:08:09.680 I think it's $160 to $200 billion.

00:08:11.580 It could be $300 billion at this point.

00:08:13.440 Yeah, buckets of money.

00:08:14.060 Under the table, too.

00:08:15.060 Yeah, of comeback, weapons, all this stuff.

00:08:17.960 Yeah, we've seen the numbers at this point.

00:08:19.760 The numbers are.

00:08:20.880 So we are willing to help, but you don't want to give the two ships.

00:08:23.980 Until after the war is over with, that's when you want to give?

00:08:28.600 You know, it's like a bank.

00:08:30.140 The bank wants to lend you money, wants your decamillionaire,

00:08:32.300 but you needed the money to start the business.

00:08:34.020 They don't want to give you any money.

00:08:35.240 We'll give you the money when you're no longer at risk.

00:08:38.120 So, but I don't know.

00:08:39.160 To me, the question is, where's the audacity coming from?

00:08:41.880 The thing, Starmer said it.

00:08:44.000 He said, look, we want this over to be as quickly as possible.

00:08:46.660 What would be the easiest way to get this over as quickly as possible?

00:08:49.540 Help.

00:08:49.940 Everybody get involved and get it done, right?

00:08:52.200 I mean, because Trump has said we're in the weight of the West.

00:08:54.500 Right.

00:08:54.760 Oh, but this is here's what's going to happen.

00:08:56.460 So why are they why are they why would they not do that?

00:08:58.920 If your interest is to end this as quickly as possible, then join, get it done, get it over with and move on.

00:09:04.720 Let me read a quote.

00:09:05.980 Let me read a quote to you.

00:09:07.320 OK, which may be they need to hear.

00:09:09.900 Here's a quote.

00:09:10.960 OK, you ready?

00:09:12.060 And a part of this quote I love.

00:09:14.820 OK, I love when I read this quote.

00:09:17.160 No friend ever served me.

00:09:20.040 no enemy ever wronged me who i have not repaid in full lucius cornelia sulla let me read this

00:09:30.420 one more time no friend ever served me and no enemy ever wronged me whom i have not repaid

00:09:38.880 in full a ruthless roman dictator in general right that's who he was back in the days 1.00

00:09:44.320 uncompromising an element of trump is he's an uncompromising guy that is going to remember

00:09:51.020 these moments so what does this mean if you're an ally we have your back yeah if you're an enemy 0.90

00:09:56.420 we will never forget and we know trump's never going to forget i think this is a dumb move

00:10:01.480 because a part of this that they can use as leverage is the following way here's how i would

00:10:06.200 do it let you say you're part of these nato uh countries what if you come out and say mr president

00:10:12.960 we are absolutely with you we all have your back with one reasoning what's that we want to make one

00:10:21.020 ask you cannot raise tariffs above 10 the next 24 months go back to these following levels if you

00:10:28.700 do this because this is going to be a cost to us if you're willing to do this we're all in what

00:10:33.440 would you like to do this is an opportunity for them to negotiate yeah i don't know if you

00:10:37.840 understand like a deal maker yeah guess what instead of just being like i'm out listen maybe

00:10:43.580 the president's like wanting to make a deal with you right now propose something what if we do this

00:10:47.900 and by the way how do you know that's not been talked about if it's been talked about maybe

00:10:52.780 somebody could leak it to the market and say hey you know what if what if in this moment where

00:10:58.580 you're coming to us for help great give us a two-year commitment the real number you want to

00:11:05.100 negotiate for not raising tariffs is what how many years it's not two years it's three years

00:11:09.340 exactly why do you want three years because he's out in three years yeah and you're hoping the guy

00:11:13.240 that comes after him so i don't know i think a part of this is trump's not gonna forget yes and

00:11:18.440 in two years when you guys desperately need him he will not forget how you handle this and he's

00:11:23.960 gonna delay the support for you then what's gonna happen you don't think you're gonna need the help

00:11:28.960 on the other way around who do you think needs who's help more often you know what it's like

00:11:32.720 it's like when a guy comes to you for help 19 times you go to help for one time but the one

00:11:38.760 time you go to help for him he holds it over your head and you're like i'm sorry what did you just

00:11:43.500 do right i helped you 19 times and the one time i need you you are you're using this as a wow okay

00:11:52.660 no problem let me get back to it no friend ever served me and no ever no enemy ever wronged me

00:12:00.120 whom i have not repaid in full you're going to get paid in that's what i think is what's really

00:12:04.860 bad about this is what i think the calculation from the europeans is that they're betting that

00:12:10.780 gasoline prices and diesel prices which i'm we're going to talk about they're betting that gasoline

00:12:15.480 prices and diesel prices inflict enough pain on the american voter right that they get trump to

00:12:20.940 relent to call a quick you know call a victory then just you know go back to the way it was

00:12:25.500 And I think that's a political calculation in both directions, first of all, from their own perspective, but also from the Trump perspective.

00:12:33.200 So go ahead.

00:12:34.420 I agree with that 100 percent. I'm sorry to cut you off right there.

00:12:37.420 There are two types of leadership. There is clear vision leadership.

00:12:40.700 And then you go all the way downhill from that to pure political leadership.

00:12:45.020 Pat, the Europeans have always been political leadership, political leadership, conversations, muddy visions. 1.00

00:12:51.700 We'll consider it. We'll think it over. Whereas clear vision leadership is Mr. Gorbachev. Take down this wall. It's very clear, very defined. The Europeans think they have allies right now. They think the midterm election in the United States is an ally. They think the Democrats in the United States is an ally. They think an upset consumer is an ally. They don't have to have clear leadership.

00:13:13.160 pat they're waiting for everything else to pinch trump they would rather than go out and stating

00:13:18.480 what they want the future world to be where they want to go what they want to do how they want to

00:13:22.780 get there how they want to provide for their people in the future rather than that they'd

00:13:26.240 rather let other things happen you know it's it's it's astonishing to me to see this but you know

00:13:32.240 what it is it's un leadership because they are still globalist they are still un leadership

00:13:37.800 and i'm not surprised i'm really not surprised tom do you think they're underestimating trump

00:13:43.140 here because i mean we've talked about this many times i take all kinds of people say he won't say

00:13:47.500 anything negative about trump but i'll tell you they are underestimating a true leader when you

00:13:52.080 come up against a true leader like this you were underestimating him it's not only the it's not

00:13:56.820 not only the legend of lucius sulla which is correct it's also dealing with someone who is

00:14:03.960 a deal maker and is going to come back and go wait a minute you did wait a minute you did what

00:14:07.800 and he's got levers to pull you don't think starmer is going to need it look at what's

00:14:12.780 starting to happen right now in the uk he's got his own issues in his backyard as the he's the

00:14:17.960 most unpopular prime minister in uk history in uk history and the people are starting to erupt

00:14:24.220 about the rape gangs and about things that are going on and he's up there we're interested in

00:14:29.540 the people he was about to resign anyways guys i mean at any point he was about to resign so

00:14:33.580 i think at any point in the next few months we could be like it's the end of it rob ran a poll

00:14:38.000 here uh should nato support the u.s and helping keeping the strait of hormuz it's an 80 20 issue

00:14:43.860 okay even with our audience our audience is a reasonable audience that uh watches and gets

00:14:49.800 gets involved so 80 saying yes 20 is saying no to the 20 saying no can you put in the comment

00:14:55.060 section why not and can all of you guys debate it out the reasonable players can you guys debate it

00:14:59.960 out i do want to talk to you guys about something a lot of you guys dm me and message me and say hey

00:15:17.580 I mean, it was beautiful.

00:15:20.040 And I'm like, this is the moment.

00:15:22.100 My son Dylan called it that he was going to hit the home run.

00:15:24.860 He hit the home run.

00:15:26.040 But then we fell one short, and the score ended up being 3-2.
