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.
00:00:15.740 An IG Private Wealth Advisor creates the clarity you need
00:00:19.060 with plans that harmonize your business, your family, and your dreams.

00:00:30.000 While this is taking place, Reza Pellevi, who's been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for a regime change or regime collapse so he can come in and be the transitional leader.
00:00:42.600 And I've never seen him talk like this about the president, but he showed a little bit of emotions here and running out of patience.
00:00:50.460 Go ahead, Rob, if you want to play this clip.
00:00:51.840 China sent mixed signals. On the one hand, said people need to rise and at the same time say, wait, we are negotiating. It's confusing the head out of everyone.
00:01:00.420 Do you want to see U.S. boots on the ground at this point?
00:01:02.860 I think that the best way to articulate this is to say that, and that's something that we have said, that the boots on the ground in Iran are the Iranian people themselves.
00:01:11.800 We don't need to have foreign troops doing the job for us, but in order for people to
00:01:16.680 be emboldened and have a fair fighting chance, unlike what happened in January 8th and 9th
00:01:23.240 when they were massacred to the tune of over 40,000 people in less than 48 hours, how could
00:01:28.200 you expect the people to be the elements on the ground if they don't get the appropriate
00:01:32.520 protection or cover?
00:01:34.860 We can only call to this action by people being on the streets again when they have
00:01:38.840 that level of an equal fighting chance,
00:01:42.380 not while the regime can deploy their thugs
00:01:44.820 to murder people on the streets.
00:01:46.980 That's why we needed to have the air campaign.
00:01:48.940 That's why we needed to have the aerial protection.
00:01:51.320 And I think that's where you can generate
00:01:53.100 the element on the grounds that will not require...
00:01:55.900 So here's a question.
00:01:56.760 You can pause it right there.
00:01:57.780 You can pause it right there.
00:01:58.840 It's like, hey, you can't say, you know,
00:02:00.220 go back to it again, Rob.
00:02:01.320 Go back to the first part of what he said,
00:02:03.700 exactly the first part on what he said.
00:02:05.280 If you have the clip,
00:02:06.540 you can play the first 10 seconds
00:02:08.500 uh uh go ahead send mixed signals on the one hand said people need to rise and at the same time say
00:02:15.200 wait we are negotiating it's confusing the hell out of everyone okay pause it right there it's
00:02:19.960 confusing the hell out of everyone who are you talking to you're talking to trump okay
00:02:24.600 what authority do you have what what authority do you have 0.75
00:02:30.680 you know i've sat on the sidelines hoping for you and i've not been critical i've sat on the
00:02:38.480 sidelines to see what's going to happen how come no military leaders are you know choosing to side
00:02:45.500 with you why not so you say you don't need u.s because the boots on the ground are the iranian
00:02:52.040 people who are getting slaughtered and the internet's been out what did wall street journal
00:02:56.400 say yesterday the more than any other country yeah longest in the history where the internet's
00:03:00.520 been out where's that longest in history so so can you can you go to that story longest internet
00:03:06.620 blackout in the history
00:03:08.980 crippling Iran's economy.
00:03:11.360 Why can't you call Ilan and ask 1.00
00:03:12.940 for Starlink?
00:03:15.120 Where's your diplomacy? Maybe you're
00:03:16.900 not good at building relationships with people.
00:03:19.080 Maybe you are. I don't know.
00:03:20.860 How connected are you?
00:03:23.640 Are the military guys
00:03:25.060 looking at you and saying, that's our leader.
00:03:27.080 We don't need Trump. I will convert.
00:03:29.380 And I'm going to go help Reza Pahlaviya.
00:03:30.840 How come that's not happening? How long
00:03:32.800 have you had so far? How long?
00:03:35.560 I don't know.
00:03:36.620 So to me, when you say mixed signals with the president, what he's doing,
00:03:42.560 the audience who is supporting you, what mixed signals are you giving?
00:03:47.060 You keep saying you got military people on your side.
00:03:49.860 Where are they?
00:03:51.740 Where are they?
00:03:52.700 Go ahead.
00:03:54.060 People come into the streets.
00:03:55.160 They're like, well, you know, is there any way you can unite and back him up?
00:03:59.240 I'm like, I've been quiet.
00:04:00.280 I just want him to go do his thing.
00:04:01.620 Listen, I'll celebrate it and say kudos to you.
00:04:04.040 and we'll put a nice picture and say hey he's the guy that got the job done but where is your
00:04:09.820 military guys showing up for you why not why are they not showing up for you i thought you were
00:04:14.800 connected 47 years you had every few years this is the closest you've ever been do it without the
00:04:21.200 president do without the president you claim you don't need the president's help go ahead do it
00:04:25.900 we're all waiting go ahead we'll root for you how come it's not happening so what do you mean
00:04:31.480 you can it's confusing as hell it's confusing as hell to your audience who are you to say it's 0.54
00:04:38.280 confusing as hell with the president what the hell are you doing so no i'm not i'm not i'm not a fan 0.93
00:04:43.300 of saying it's confusing as hell your audience should be confused as hell on all the promises 0.88
00:04:48.300 you made go on the streets now go back home go on the streets again now go back home go on the
00:04:54.640 streets we have military defectors that are turning and they're going to come in where are they
00:04:58.620 where are the defectors show me show me the baby where are the defectors okay your story
00:05:09.280 your confidence you're going out there to media saying they're going to do this we don't need the
00:05:13.540 president all this other stuff fantastic because this becomes two different things
00:05:16.700 what trump is doing is what's best for america that's his job that's his duty his job isn't
00:05:24.980 what's best for you his job isn't what's best for any other people than america first
00:05:30.500 he's trying to do what's best for america now the secondary is what of course he doesn't want
00:05:35.220 issues in the middle east he will like there to not have that kind of an issue that they're
00:05:38.520 dealing with but 90 of the onus is on you now we've been following people like pat just leave
00:05:45.400 this one alone leave this one alone let we know what we're doing where is it where is it go ahead
00:05:54.140 Well, you know, you've got to be more patient.
00:05:56.860 The Iranian people that follow Reza Pahlavi have got to be the most patient people in the world.
00:06:04.460 You've been waiting for 47 years. 0.98
00:06:06.100 I don't have that kind of patience.
00:06:07.320 Good for you.
00:06:08.580 No, no, he's the guy.
00:06:09.540 He's this, he's that.
00:06:10.800 Where is the doing?
00:06:12.440 The doing.
00:06:13.320 Not the talking, the doing.
00:06:15.560 So, yes, these are two different separate issues.
00:06:17.820 You know, Trump's got to do what's best for America first.
00:06:20.180 You claim you want to do what's best for Iran first. 0.55
00:06:22.100 Well, then go do it. 1.00
00:06:23.420 We're waiting.
00:06:24.180 We're rooting for you.
00:06:24.820 We're like, come on.
00:06:27.400 Watch your interviews, you know, beautiful interviews and French
00:06:30.180 and all these other languages that you speak
00:06:31.780 and very eloquent on the way you deliver your message.
00:06:35.400 But you know when somebody says, what did you say?
00:06:38.980 Let me call my cousin.
00:06:40.800 You're not going to like it when my cousin shows up.
00:06:43.480 And then cousin doesn't show up for one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks.
00:06:47.660 Your cousin doesn't have your back.
00:06:49.320 And then another person says, what did you say?
00:06:51.620 wait till my cousin shows up 30 seconds later cousin shows up you're like dude i'm sorry man
00:06:56.420 i never want to say anything yeah i fought both types of people okay and the one that the cousin
00:07:02.380 shows up you always respect where are your cousins why are your cousins why are they not showing up
00:07:09.160 in the streets of iran to help these 40 something people that were massacred that's on trump or is
00:07:13.680 on you it's kind of on you i want to be the transitional leader it's on you and by the way
00:07:18.240 This leads me to many Iranians want to bring the previous flag of Iran pre-revolution.
00:07:24.720 They do.
00:07:25.120 And, Rob, do you see that story where now FIFA World Cup is saying you can't?
00:07:29.180 You can't bring the flag.
00:07:30.960 You know, you can't sport that flag.
00:07:33.460 What do you mean you can't sport the flag?
00:07:35.020 Well, they just announced it.
00:07:36.280 And what page is this, Rob, 30-something?
00:07:39.060 Pre-revolution Iran flags banned from the World Cup.
00:07:42.460 That right there. 1.00
00:07:43.520 Let me give you a guarantee of how Iranian people are.
00:07:47.400 Let me tell you how Iranian people are.
00:07:49.400 They're going to show up no matter what.
00:07:51.860 They're going to show up no matter what.
00:07:53.160 Don't get me wrong.
00:07:53.700 Security is going to – you can hide the flag in your underwear.
00:07:56.580 You can hide the flag.
00:07:57.560 They're going to try to bring – it's going to be a very small flag if you hide it in your underwear, right?
00:08:00.580 Because if you got, like, stacked, like, they're going to be like, hey,
00:08:03.000 this guy in the adult entertainment business, they're going to check you out. 0.99
00:08:05.320 And we know how those Iranian guys are built. 1.00
00:08:07.880 Stacked. 1.00
00:08:08.480 Stacked.
00:08:09.480 But let me tell you, flags from pre-revolution Iran will not be permitted at the upcoming World Cup events this summer
00:08:14.460 While the pre-revolution Iran flag share the same colors as the current Islamic flag, the original flag, beloved by Iranian dissidents and refugees, prominently features a lion and a son in the center following the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
00:08:27.280 According to The Athletic, a source close to FIFA confirmed they will prohibit the presence of the pre-revolutionary flag at its venues this summer.
00:08:36.320 Ilan, your thoughts on both the Reza Pahlavi story and the flag.
00:08:39.620 OK, so the Reza Pallavi story, I think you nailed it perfectly when you said that Donald Trump has an obligation to the United States to touch on what you both said earlier, Tom and Vinny, is that the United States has limited the danger that Iran poses to us directly. 0.69
00:08:54.620 The 60 percent enriched uranium could create a dirty bomb and they demonstrated that they have longer range ballistic missiles than we previously thought. 0.56
00:09:00.960 So there was a existential threat to the United States that's greatly limited.
00:09:04.880 Now, Reza Pallavi has an obligation to his own people if he wants to see change.
00:09:10.000 You're right. You can't depend on another country.
00:09:12.220 And by the way, to say that Trump has been unclear, Trump has taken more action than any president would be willing to take in Iran to help create an environment where regime change could rise up and actually happen.
00:09:23.620 So he did create the circumstances in the country for that.
00:09:26.660 As for this right now, the Iranian flag being banned from FIFA.
00:09:30.960 I understand the dangers of, you know, kind of uprising tension in a FIFA game,
00:09:37.440 which could result in chaos and then people getting hurt and all that kind of stuff.
00:09:40.780 They're trying to limit that.
00:09:41.820 They're trying to keep it safe.
00:09:43.220 But I do think, knowing Iranian people, that they will show up with their flags, like you said.
00:09:46.800 Anyway, they'll show up in big numbers.
00:09:48.520 And what are you going to do?
00:09:49.120 They're going to show up.
00:09:50.080 You're going to kick out thousands of people from the stadium.
00:09:52.580 You're going to just start.
00:09:53.360 That's going to create a problem in itself.
00:09:54.740 So they're going to be in a position where if enough people show up with flags,
00:09:57.740 there's going to be nothing they can do.
00:09:58.860 And maybe that'll be a bigger statement overall, the fact that it was banned.
00:10:02.600 People show up, hold it, and they can't get rid of them than Adam.
00:10:06.960 Yeah. 0.94
00:10:09.320 Persian fans out there, bring your flags. 0.78
00:10:11.240 If they can bring the Palestinian terrorist flag anywhere they want 0.83
00:10:15.240 and do marches in streets of every city every single day, 0.89
00:10:20.100 go ahead and bring your line in the sun.
00:10:22.160 Major respect.
00:10:23.500 The patience things, the flexible thing.
00:10:25.720 And, Pat, I'm going to ask you a question.
00:10:28.860 It's been over 40 years.
00:10:30.800 In the last four months, not even,
00:10:34.500 they've killed over 40,000 of their own people.
00:10:38.440 Yeah, this regime has a stranglehold on the people.
00:10:44.120 The foot, future does not look bright on their neck,
00:10:46.680 and you want justice, and you want this overturned in three months, guys?
00:10:51.100 What are we doing?
00:10:52.160 It's going to take time, like in any other situation in life
00:10:55.340 when you make an investment in the war.
00:10:56.780 but then last thing pat you you just went in sir i mean i respectfully you went i've never seen you
00:11:05.900 go that hard on the individual but fair you don't think i went hard no but i think it's very honest
00:11:10.300 i said you claim you have people in the military flipping yeah show me the baby show me the money
00:11:15.520 that's what i want if you if i tell you if i threaten you or if i give you a lead that i'm
00:11:22.920 going to do something and you're like let me tell you like imagine if some oh i am so connected i'm
00:11:28.000 going to be able to introduce you to this introduce you to that oh really all right eventually you're
00:11:31.660 like where are your connections where are your contacts oh i got money people really where are
00:11:36.400 they oh i am so can you hire somebody and they're like oh i can bring good engineers
00:11:40.300 you're later like i thought you had all these contacts we're all your contacts no so to me
00:11:44.400 he is he is beloved i mean don't get it wrong the guy is beloved by his people they love him
00:11:51.540 because they have a fantasy.
00:11:52.820 The love towards him isn't towards him.
00:11:55.180 The love towards him is because of the love they have for his father,
00:11:59.300 not for him.
00:12:00.720 And they are romanticizing with this.
00:12:03.280 And at the end of the day,
00:12:04.420 he has to either show that he is well-connected
00:12:07.500 and military folks are out there, great, or not.
00:12:11.300 And if you're not, great.
00:12:13.480 Don't get out there and say,
00:12:15.100 you're confusing the hell out of everyone.
00:12:17.060 You're confusing the hell out of everyone. 0.83
00:12:19.380 Your job is Iran first, you claim.
00:12:21.920 His job is America first. 0.91
00:12:23.200 Are you delivering on your promises? 0.87
00:12:24.760 I don't know.
00:12:25.420 Tom, do you have any thoughts on this?
00:12:26.920 This is not on this specifically, but I'll tell you.
00:12:31.900 Nicaraguan baseball players hated the fact that there was the alternative flag.
00:12:35.440 They have the beautiful blue and white flag for Nicaragua,
00:12:38.040 but then there's the black and red Sandinista flag.
00:12:40.620 And when they were at the World Baseball Classic,
00:12:43.860 remember Nicaragua qualified World Baseball Classic for the first time ever in 23.
00:12:47.800 I think it was the first time ever.
00:12:48.980 And then they came back in 26 with the team.
00:12:51.640 They love that flag that's on the left, and then you see the FSLN.
00:12:56.760 That's the Sandinista, and it represents a time of pain and everything.
00:13:00.660 So this is not the first time that you've had a country in trouble 0.93
00:13:03.760 who's had two flags going, and you know what?
00:13:06.780 I see what they're trying to do for the World Cup.
00:13:08.900 They don't want to feel like there's going to be tension in the stands,
00:13:12.800 just like people that see that FSLN, they think about the Sandinista,
00:13:16.980 and they think about bloodshed, and they don't like it.
00:13:18.580 I just want to give you a chance to give the final word on this.
00:13:22.500 Where I want to ask you is the shadow that he's living in under his father.
00:13:27.320 I understand the romanticizing.
00:13:28.740 I understand that painting.
00:13:30.420 You know, I understand that he seems like a nice guy.
00:13:33.900 He just has not backed it up with actions.
00:13:36.740 And I just want to understand from a father, from a leader, some of the respects the father.
00:13:40.840 Maybe just encapsulate, you know, where he could have done better, where he failed,
00:13:44.540 what his position is, because I don't know this guy like you do.
00:13:47.840 and really where he could help at this point
00:13:50.220 because I think you guys all want to get on the same page
00:13:52.080 and free the Iranian people. 1.00
00:13:53.840 Yeah, and by the way, I don't want to act like I know this guy. 0.63
00:13:56.700 So I don't know the guy.
00:13:58.120 I've spent 15 hours with him, 18 hours with him.
00:14:01.380 He's had dinner at our house, lunch at our house.
00:14:04.120 I went and visited him in D.C.
00:14:06.140 We had lunch together at a nice Italian restaurant.
00:14:08.500 He's always been very respectful, always.
00:14:10.360 We've had very good conversations together.
00:14:12.820 And then we've done a couple podcasts together.
00:14:14.560 I've spoken to his team over the years.
00:14:16.020 I've been working behind closed doors
00:14:18.400 for 12 years to help him
00:14:19.620 so it's not like I haven't been working behind
00:14:22.200 there's a lot of things people don't know that I've tried to help this guy
00:14:24.580 out in a major way I want to see him
00:14:26.380 succeed I want to see him succeed
00:14:28.580 I don't want to see him fail why the hell would I want to see him
00:14:30.580 fail why would I want to
00:14:32.280 my only first cousin in the world lives in Iran 1.00
00:14:34.180 Armenian guy you don't think I want to 1.00
00:14:36.280 I have one first cousin in the world one 1.00
00:14:38.100 and he lives in Iran you don't think I want to see this guy succeed 1.00
00:14:40.480 of course I want to see him succeed 1.00
00:14:42.080 but eventually you get to a point where it's like 0.91
00:14:44.240 stop talking shit deliver it's very simple to me if you're gonna say you're gonna deliver go 0.85
00:14:49.560 deliver and stop now putting the onus because now you know what happens and i want to tell you what 0.99
00:14:53.380 his next move could be now it's kind of like oh say nothing happens with the iranian revolution
00:14:58.620 and iranian regime change or regime collapse guess who he's gonna blame trump oh you'll see
00:15:04.600 you'll see and that would be and that'll be a coward's move but watch him he'll be cornered
00:15:12.440 Because it's either his fault or Trump's fault.
00:15:15.080 He's always going to be the guy that's, it's not my fault.
00:15:17.420 It's not my fault.
00:15:18.040 It's that person's fault.
00:15:18.720 It's not my fault.
00:15:19.340 I hope he doesn't take that route.
00:15:20.940 But if he's going out there saying, you're confusing the hell out of everybody,
00:15:25.100 I already see the next few moves coming from him.
00:15:27.080 If he did that and I don't have any ill will towards him,
00:15:30.180 that would be very disrespectful to call him Trump.
00:15:32.960 Well, he's already starting in a very subtle way with that message he gave two days ago.
00:15:36.880 We got something special.
00:15:37.740 Let me tell you guys before I turn it over to a guy that you guys all love.
00:15:40.180 according to the survey we did
00:15:42.380 you guys love him so much but I don't know
00:15:44.720 if you love him that much yet and I'll tell you afterwards
00:15:46.580 why and I got a challenge for everybody
00:15:48.180 but I do know you love him a lot
00:15:49.860 last time we did a
00:15:52.700 hat that came out
00:15:54.320 faith over fear do you know how many complaints
00:15:56.460 we got because it was hat that we ordered less than
00:15:58.500 a thousand I don't know what it was maybe 500
00:16:00.220 700 it went like this
00:16:02.300 everyone's like wait a minute I want to order
00:16:04.460 more I want gone and we have to wait three months
00:16:06.560 because our shipments takes a while to make them
00:16:08.660 But today, I don't want that to happen to you.
00:16:10.760 And with that being said, Vinny, share with us what's the latest item that you have available for the audience.
00:16:15.220 So, Pat, it's the hat that I'm wearing right now, which I'm going to tell you guys right now.
00:16:18.720 It's here am I. Send me as a cross here.
00:16:21.360 You want to take it off so they can see the cross on the side and what's on the back?
00:16:24.560 I'll do it like this. Boom. I'll take it off. My hair is a little bit messed up.
00:16:28.720 Isaiah chapter 6, verse 8 in the back.
00:16:30.580 In fact, the inspiration comes from Isaiah chapter 6, and I know Tom knows this.
00:16:34.480 Isaiah hears the Lord speaking, and he's asking for volunteers, like who's going to go and talk
00:16:40.200 to the people and tell them to change their ways. And Isaiah steps up, and this is what he says.
00:16:44.820 He has, and I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send and who will go for us? And then
00:16:50.800 I said, here am I, send me. And this is what this hat stands for, Pat. It stands for answering the
00:16:57.080 call. In a world where everybody stays quiet to protect themselves, this means you are willing
00:17:01.480 to stand up for your faith for your values and the truth here am i send me uh basically says
00:17:07.680 stop waiting for somebody else to do it you do it okay it's saying i'll speak i'll lead and i'll
00:17:14.080 represent jesus christ without fear and this is exactly where this hat says and this is why it
00:17:19.200 inspired me and this is what this is about and elon actually made a great point pat it's in another
00:17:23.860 context you remember in uh the town where uh ben affleck walks in and his friend's sitting there
00:17:28.900 And he goes, hey, listen, I need your help.
00:17:31.220 I can't tell you what it is.
00:17:32.400 We're going to go and do this, and we're going to hurt some people.
00:17:34.380 And he goes, whose car are we taking?
00:17:36.200 That means I am ready to go for God, Pat.
00:17:39.260 And as of late, a lot of people have been approaching me and talking,
00:17:43.040 and I feel like the Holy Spirit is literally speaking.
00:17:46.360 Sometimes I get nervous because I'm like, what am I going to say?
00:17:49.400 In that moment, it's almost like God's like, I got you.
00:17:52.080 Just open your mouth and go.
00:17:53.740 And I'm going to warn everybody, guys,
