Transcript

00:00:00.000 So, Rob, do you have the minerals deal that we're talking about?
00:00:04.720 We saw President Trump and Zelensky sit down together and have a conversation together, right?
00:00:12.620 Yeah.
00:00:13.040 It's the legendary picture that we all saw.
00:00:15.260 I love it.
00:00:15.660 Which he pushes Macron aside and is like, listen, you know, this is for you, buddy.
00:00:20.040 You're not no security guard.
00:00:21.740 Yeah, and then they sat there and, you know, Zelensky keeps the lane, the lane, the lane, the lane, the lane.
00:00:28.840 Eventually, U.S. and Ukraine signed a mineral deal given the U.S. preferential access to Ukrainian mineral resources
00:00:37.540 and establishing a joint investment fund for reconstruction with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant.
00:00:44.080 Good for you, Scott Besant and Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Siverdenko signing the accord with the Treasury stated
00:00:52.640 clearly signals the Trump administration's commitment to a free and sovereign prosperous Ukraine.
00:00:58.400 Rob, if you want to play this clip, here's Scott Besant.
00:01:01.460 Thanks to President Trump's tireless efforts to secure a lasting peace, I am glad to announce the signing of today's historic economic partnership agreement
00:01:11.180 between the United States and Ukraine, establishing the United States Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.
00:01:18.600 This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine's growth assets,
00:01:26.920 mobilize American talent, capital, and governance standards that will improve Ukraine's investment climate
00:01:33.740 and accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery.
00:01:37.340 The Development Finance Corporation will participate and help to establish this fund in collaboration with the government of Ukraine.
00:01:45.360 Today's agreement signals clearly to Russian leadership that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process
00:01:53.880 centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term.
00:01:59.640 It's time for this cruel and senseless war to end.
00:02:03.460 The killing must stop, and both the United States and the government of Ukraine look forward to quickly operationalizing this historic economic partnership.
00:02:15.340 Great stuff. Tom, your thoughts?
00:02:17.440 Well, I love this because the markets are going to love this.
00:02:20.340 The markets are going to see this as a sign.
00:02:23.200 Also, China is going to see this as a sign.
00:02:26.000 This is very, very big.
00:02:28.440 And if Greenland was posturing—remember, Greenland has an opportunity to get U.S. dollars, too, with their agreements.
00:02:36.120 And what we want to do in Greenland is prevent China from having a similar deal there.
00:02:40.980 But now Greenland, you know what?
00:02:42.940 You better play ball here because if you want big dollars for your rare earth minerals,
00:02:50.500 you've got to take a look at this and see that you've got to sign up.
00:02:54.220 But what this does, this takes it one step closer to peace,
00:02:59.100 and it now allows us to get the rare earth minerals that we want.
00:03:03.460 And by the way, you'll notice this is a joint investment fund.
00:03:06.600 So there's opportunities, apparently, for U.S. large investors like the banking community or corporate investors.
00:03:12.780 No one will like this word, but people like Halliburton who build large projects.
00:03:17.600 They build power. They build dams. They build all kinds of things like this.
00:03:20.940 And so this is going to allow the rebuild of Ukraine,
00:03:23.880 which means Ukraine can return to, you know, full economic status at some point in the future.
00:03:30.620 It's going to take a lot of rebuilding, but it's going to get there.
00:03:33.360 This is a good thing. This is a win.
00:03:36.060 This is a win on the 100 days, and this should calm the markets who have been concerned about this.
00:03:41.460 And most of all, it should settle the nerves of people that were worried about China flanking on rare earth minerals.
00:03:46.800 How much money, Tom, like how much money potentially does this, like, deal bring to the United States?
00:03:53.860 What are we talking about? Ballpark.
00:03:55.600 I don't know if the dollar figure to the United States, but the rare earth minerals,
00:03:59.440 there's hundreds of billions of dollars of rare earth minerals there.
00:04:02.960 Okay.
00:04:03.300 And so that, you know, lithium, cobalt, and the things like this that need,
00:04:07.940 that are necessary for modern technology.
00:04:10.080 It's not the way to look at it.
00:04:11.360 The way to look at it is not dollar.
00:04:13.020 Sometimes you do a deal that we get a certain technology, and the benefit is speed.
00:04:19.900 The benefit is a relationship.
00:04:21.200 The benefit is a new market.
00:04:22.360 The benefit is a new territory.
00:04:24.060 This minerals deal is so important because it shows China's not happy about this
00:04:28.420 because China also has the minerals.
00:04:30.340 China's worried the fact that this just happened because America now just got a lifeline.
00:04:36.060 It's like, you know that video game you play, race, and you press a checkpoint, you got 45 more seconds.
00:04:41.580 Yeah, you got 45 more seconds.
00:04:43.320 This just gave us five more years of being able to take our time with minerals when it comes down to China.
00:04:50.280 China wanted Ukraine to take their time with us for as long as possible.
00:04:54.240 This is not good.
00:04:55.520 Russia on the other end right now sitting down and saying, well, because Russia's also got the minerals that's in Donbass,
00:05:01.180 that's the whole thing that they're right now, they have control of Donbass right now, if I'm not mistaken.
00:05:06.840 Correct.
00:05:07.180 So for them, it's kind of like, well, we have some good minerals as well.
00:05:11.000 We do, but guess what?
00:05:12.360 Zelensky came to the table, and Trump getting this deal done is actually a very good thing.
00:05:16.500 Adam, your thoughts on this?
00:05:17.380 Yeah, I think this is, I agree with you.
00:05:19.100 This is not just about the minerals.
00:05:20.780 This is not just about the economics of it.
00:05:23.040 This is a geopolitical statement.
00:05:24.500 The United States is basically saying, despite all the chaos out there about people, they don't like Zelensky,
00:05:32.960 and they're more unified with Putin, the United States came out and made a statement and said,
00:05:37.760 we are partnering up with Ukraine for the long term, but we're also going to get something out of it.
00:05:43.080 And our partners are going to get something out of this.
00:05:46.060 And you know who the big loser is here?
00:05:47.980 Putin.
00:05:48.980 Because Putin is basically trying to strong arm everybody.
00:05:51.480 The last tweet that Trump had was about Putin.
00:05:55.840 Putin, stop!
00:05:56.660 Vladimir, stop!
00:05:58.560 I would love to see Putin's response here.
00:06:01.180 Because everyone's been trying to pull out of Ukraine.
00:06:03.880 Everyone has not, you know, I think public sentiment has been declining month over month over month.
00:06:09.060 But the United States basically just showed up like a big badass big brother and said,
00:06:12.620 nope, we got your back, but you're going to pay us back.
00:06:15.980 Yeah, I like this deal.
00:06:17.160 I like that this has taken place.
00:06:18.400 And, you know, as this goes, what is this, Rob?
00:06:22.140 You just got here.
00:06:23.420 Just landed in Rome.
00:06:24.300 A good day in talks with meetings with Russia and Ukraine.
00:06:27.140 They are very close to a deal.
00:06:28.500 And two sides should now meet at very high levels to finish it off.
00:06:32.220 Most of the major points are agreed upon.
00:06:35.780 Stop the bloodshed.
00:06:36.560 He said, now we will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate the end to this cruel and senseless war.
00:06:42.660 That's leadership.
00:06:43.920 We will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate.
00:06:48.780 Help.
00:06:49.680 Facilitate.
00:06:50.120 Help facilitate the end to this cruel and senseless war.
00:06:53.980 And by the way, you know what's the one of the things he kept saying in the ABC interview?
00:06:56.920 He says, you know, this isn't my war.
00:06:58.500 That's Biden's war.
00:06:59.540 This isn't my war.
00:07:00.680 This is Biden's war.
00:07:01.760 This isn't my war.
00:07:02.680 This is Biden's war.
00:07:03.520 He kept saying it.
00:07:04.740 I'm trying to stop Biden's war that he started.
00:07:07.240 It's such a great point.
00:07:08.460 Rob, did he literally just put that up?
00:07:10.520 No, that was Friday of last week when he landed in Rome, but it was in reference to what Adam had said, the stop Putin.
00:07:16.680 Right.
00:07:17.160 I love that.
00:07:17.980 Bold prediction real quick.
00:07:19.600 If he stops this war, I mean, sooner rather than later, despite what the left-leaning media and infrastructure of the world would want to see,
00:07:29.720 I think Trump will win a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:07:32.460 I mean, nobody on that side wants to see it.
00:07:35.040 You've said this for a minute.
00:07:35.780 You stop this war.
00:07:37.580 He should be definitely qualified.
00:07:40.960 I think Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:07:43.040 For nothing.
00:07:43.860 When his first year, for what?
00:07:45.160 Nothing.
00:07:45.820 Zero.
00:07:46.320 Giving a speech at the Berlin Wall.
00:07:48.000 Yeah.
00:07:48.340 So it's all playing politics.
00:07:50.220 Trump is actually in the game, hopefully changing some stuff.
00:07:53.480 Pat, I ask you a question.
00:07:54.180 When Trump grabs Zelensky and Macron's trying to leech on and he tells him to back up and he wants to talk to him,
00:08:02.560 what is Trump in your, what would you think that he's telling him to make this happen?
00:08:07.040 What promises, what type of dialogue you think happened in that moment?
00:08:11.420 I think it's every emotion you need.
00:08:13.580 And let me tell you what that emotion is.
00:08:14.640 Rob, is this it, Rob?
00:08:15.440 Play the clip.
00:08:16.220 Dude, look at that.
00:08:16.840 Play the clip.
00:08:17.380 I'll tell you, every emotion you need is used in here.
00:08:20.000 This is a pro here.
00:08:20.980 You're not talking to a regular.
00:08:21.900 Yeah, look at Macron.
00:08:23.160 Okay, get out of here.
00:08:23.960 We don't need you.
00:08:25.340 Listen, I'm going to just sit with this guy.
00:08:27.040 Get out of here.
00:08:27.760 We'll be with you.
00:08:28.440 I don't even know if he was trying to go.
00:08:29.740 Now that I see the body language, he was just saying hello.
00:08:32.560 We'll just step aside.
00:08:33.620 We'll have the conversation.
00:08:35.100 Boom.
00:08:35.460 Bingo.
00:08:36.040 But this is what I'm saying.
00:08:37.360 You know what is there?
00:08:38.820 Here's what you need.
00:08:40.160 So what are the qualities?
00:08:42.460 Four qualities.
00:08:44.460 Loved.
00:08:45.840 Feared.
00:08:47.100 Respected.
00:08:47.960 Liked.
00:08:49.480 At different phases of your life,
00:08:51.180 you use those four in different ways.
00:08:53.960 As a father, when you're two years old,
00:08:56.440 you don't need to use fear.
00:08:58.160 It's your kid.
00:08:59.320 Fear doesn't work at two years old.
00:09:02.300 There is a wasp in here or a bee.
00:09:04.960 And Vinny's losing his shit with this guy.
00:09:07.480 Can somebody come kill this guy
00:09:08.880 so I can get Vinny's full attention, please?
00:09:10.440 He's right here.
00:09:11.220 We need to kill this guy.
00:09:12.540 Rob, can you get somebody to come in?
00:09:14.280 That guy's fine.
00:09:14.520 That guy's fine.
00:09:14.640 No, no, get somebody to come in here
00:09:15.840 before we get this guy.
00:09:16.740 I'm allergic.
00:09:17.440 That guy's fine.
00:09:18.120 I'm going to fucking badass guy.
00:09:19.720 Adam, Adam, you're going to do it?
00:09:21.440 Adam, he's...
00:09:22.500 No, no, too much.
00:09:23.480 It's all right.
00:09:24.220 Adam, sit down.
00:09:24.920 Adam, let's sit down.
00:09:25.820 Adam.
00:09:26.220 Adam, sit down, Adam.
00:09:28.000 Okay?
00:09:28.820 Fear, loved, respected, liked.
00:09:31.480 Can you hang in there?
00:09:32.380 Yeah, yeah.
00:09:33.080 I know you can.
00:09:34.160 I'm walking in a minute.
00:09:35.100 It's driving me nuts.
00:09:36.160 Okay?
00:09:36.480 I got him.
00:09:36.960 In this case, in this instance,
00:09:39.640 I guarantee there's fear being used.
00:09:42.260 I guarantee there's fear being used.
00:09:44.080 Like how...
00:09:44.560 What do you think he's saying?
00:09:45.640 Let me tell you.
00:09:46.200 Here's what I'm going to say to you.
00:09:47.660 Listen, man.
00:09:48.540 Let me tell you.
00:09:49.700 I don't know how you negotiated with Biden.
00:09:51.800 I'm not Biden.
00:09:52.900 You play this game with me again.
00:09:54.800 I will do everything in my power
00:09:56.240 to make your life a living kill.
00:09:57.540 And you know you don't want to go there.
00:09:59.000 I want to make this deal happen.
00:10:00.460 Too many innocent people are dying.
00:10:01.960 You know you can stop that.
00:10:03.260 Somewhere deep down inside,
00:10:04.260 you love your country.
00:10:05.160 And I'm going to do it in a way
00:10:06.180 for you to save face.
00:10:06.980 I'm not going to embarrass you.
00:10:08.080 But you've been embarrassing me
00:10:09.140 for the last two months
00:10:09.960 and haven't said anything about it.
00:10:11.520 Now you want to do this?
00:10:12.440 I'm going to play hardball.
00:10:13.480 Don't do that.
00:10:14.720 Let's get a deal in place.
00:10:16.420 Let's make this a big spectacle,
00:10:18.420 something part of your legacy
00:10:19.580 that you were the one.
00:10:20.880 You didn't start the war.
00:10:21.620 Putin started the war.
00:10:22.760 Why don't we collectively work together
00:10:24.300 where your legacy is?
00:10:25.260 You stopped the war
00:10:26.400 to save so many people's lives.
00:10:28.860 You did that.
00:10:29.520 You want to be that hero?
00:10:30.400 I'm going to help you happen.
00:10:31.520 And I'll tell the world
00:10:32.420 about what a great job you did.
00:10:33.600 But you better sign the deal.
00:10:34.780 I think that's the kind of communication.
00:10:36.400 I think that's how it happened.
00:10:37.760 And I fully see that happening
00:10:39.480 and I think you'll receive it.
00:10:40.780 So this Lemon campaign
00:10:41.780 that we launched on Thursday
00:10:42.960 with the box
00:10:43.840 that was launched
00:10:45.040 that all of you guys
00:10:46.080 many of you saw
00:10:47.340 those of you that didn't
00:10:48.960 this box that's being shipped
00:10:50.280 to people who are going through
00:10:51.320 a lot of different things today
00:10:52.440 to make their day
00:10:53.860 when life gives you lemons
00:10:55.120 make lemonade
00:10:56.280 with a lemon hat in it
00:10:57.440 and a presentation
00:10:58.120 with a video
00:10:58.900 of me speaking to them
00:10:59.980 giving them a message here.
00:11:01.800 I'm going to press pause here.
00:11:03.680 There was
00:11:04.400 there was so many accountants
00:11:06.560 one accountant
00:11:07.220 sent it to 11 clients
00:11:08.500 lawyers, realtors
00:11:10.420 insurance folks
00:11:11.300 using it.
00:11:11.860 but then we had a chance
00:11:13.400 to read the note
00:11:14.280 of what some people
00:11:15.200 were writing
00:11:15.760 to their clients.
00:11:17.360 I'm not going to give the names.
00:11:18.500 I just want to read the notes to you.
00:11:19.740 It was so
00:11:20.240 our staff is
00:11:21.420 when I'm reading this
00:11:22.260 our marketing team
00:11:23.120 they're in tears
00:11:24.120 literally when I'm reading this to them.
00:11:26.740 I'm not going to say the name.
00:11:28.300 Okay.
00:11:29.060 They put the name there
00:11:30.200 then says
