The reason why we're at this set, not our usual set, is because the last episode was a final episode we did in the old set.
A new set is being built.
When we're ready to reveal it, we'll let you know what the date's going to be.
We're excited about it.
Our guest today.
Why do I get the old set?
Our guest today.
How did I get screwed on this?
Intentionally because our guest today fully believes you can do it.
Just so you guys know why he you can.
You can do it on the old set, not the new set.
No, not that.
You can't do it on the new one built.
You have to do it on the old one.
We're giving a temporary one.
Look what we did here, Rob.
We give you a nice little place that can fit a couple hundred people.
They're not here right now, but we get a lot of people.
Nobody.
We got an audience.
You got an audience of seven people that are watching this.
They're protesting in Boris.
They'll be here soon.
So I was telling, I told Tico, I said, Tico, Rob Schneider's going to be on the podcast today.
He says, Dad, I don't want to go to school.
I want to come see him.
I said, no, you're going to school, buddy.
We'll go on and do the podcast.
Sounds like a half-good story.
I thought he was going to say, and here he is.
No, he's not.
No, he's at school.
He's at school.
Anyways, okay, so we got a lot of stories to cover.
Rob, of course, some of the stuff that we'll cover with things that you got going on.
I'm serious, I guess.
We got the late night hosts, Jimmy Kemmell, Colbert Fallon, all push conspiracy theories that Trump captured Maduro to distract from the Epstein files.
I'm going to get your thoughts on that here in a minute.
Conan O'Brien says the F Trump comics have been co-opted by anger, just screaming.
This is Conan O'Brien.
By the way, credit to him for saying something like that.
No, I appreciate Conan.
I've always appreciated Conan.
My first job was with Conan O'Brien.
With Conan.
Well, my first job, well, it's my first real job at Saturday Night Live.
Was there a live audience or was it like it was an audience with not like this stuff that we do for you?
No, I mean, they had a real set.
They didn't give me like a secondary.
They go, we're going to rob it, bring Rob up, but let's not bring him until not after we finish the new beautiful set.
Let's bring him to the old place.
Stick him in there.
No, but I really appreciate Conan O'Brien saying that because it's true.
Yeah, I'm going to get into it.
I'm going to get into it in a minute when we get into the story.
I want to read all of them.
I'm going to tee it up and then I'll see you up.
Trust me.
We'll get into it.
So let me just read all the stories.
We got a lot of stuff going on with Iran.
There was some stuff that happened yesterday.
I think they're saying some reports public are 50 plus that have died.
But people I'm hearing from Iran on the streets, it's hundreds of people have died.
Internet was cut off yesterday.
Reza Palabi allegedly was supposed to.
There was tweets about he's going to meet with Trump and then there wasn't.
And then now he is complimentary of Trump.
I got very direct feedback on that community.
We'll respond to the Iranian thank Venezuela with what's going on there.
Bunch of different new things that are formulating.
And then Trump says he's banning institutional investors from scooping up single family homes.
Big deal.
Very big deal.
Thank you.
Marco Rubio making moves on Greenland as Trump extremely serious about buying island valued at $3.3 billion.
Let me make an offer first.
Yeah.
You can't just take the first $3 billion offer.
You got to take another one.
Well, maybe you can make a public offer today.
Trump and Colombian presidents speak by phone for the first time amid escalating tensions, which is good that they talked.
Then Mark will shoot first and ask questions later if the U.S. invades Greenland.
Think about the way you're talking.
From their dugout sled.
Yeah, they'll shoot first.
Shoot what?
Exactly.
Rand Paul, I will do everything to stop any kind of military takeover of Greenland.
So that's Rand Paul.
And then L.A. Mayor Bass brushes off Palisades, fire protests, claims the locals are profiting.
Gavin Newsom confronts $18 billion budget disaster he helped create.
What more can these LA people want?
I mean, yes, 17,000 homes gone, but or 1,700 homes, but they've built back four.
And you have to look at the positives.
They were able to cut through the red tape, and in one year, two of the homes are back.
Yeah, exciting.
It's unbelievable.
We'll definitely get into that because I don't even think that's as big as a problem.
There's allegedly a $250 billion fraud that they're looking into.
The billionaire, more strategic, move out, make strategic moves out of California ahead of the proposed wall tax.
Larry Page just bought $173 million to Miami homes right next to each other.
They moved to Miami.
They left California.
Two bedroom.
To come.
Yeah, it's a two-bedroom.
Two-bedroom, one-bath.
They moved out here with protests held in Minneapolis.
No garage.
Yeah, no garage.
No garage.
You have to share the garage.
Yeah, after shot, woman shot.
We'll talk about the shooting with ICE video.
There's a lot of commentary there.
Even the mayor Jacob Fry tells ICE to get the F out of Minneapolis.
You got to see this video.
Another article came out saying, is this the end of American capitalism?
Warner Brothers, something funny is going on with Warner Brothers.
I'm curious to know what you're going to say about this later on.
Warner Brothers tells shareholders that Larry Ellison, who's worth roughly $300 billion, give or take, his wealth isn't enough to beat out Netflix's bid.
Tom thinks something's going on behind closed doors that they want Netflix as the buyer, but not Larry Ellison.
Nobody knows why.
We'll talk about it.
Of course, Iran will talk about Maduro is gone, but repression in Venezuela intensifies.
China expected to replace Venezuelan oil with Iranian crude.
And then we got a couple other updates here with stories to cover as well.
That's like eight minutes right there.
Yeah, that is eight minutes, but we're going to go two hours.
I hope you're ready on your bladder.
Can handle next two and a half hours.
Oh, man.
Vinny, tell us what's happening with the stuff you've been doing.
By the way, Rob, just so you know, Vinny, his gear, faith over fear, tens of thousands of pieces sold out in a couple weeks.
Tell us about faith over fear, Vinny.
Well, just letting everybody know, I appreciate everybody that's getting on board.
I saw a guy at the airport that was wearing the faith over fear.
I was at a diner and some guy pat me on the back.
I was like, hey, what is that all about?
And he want to know what Hebrews 11, chapter 1 was.
And we got into a really good conversation.
And I know I always talk about faith over fear being like in the Bible with the centurion soldier whose kid was healed where Jesus just said, go because of your faith.
It's going to be healed.
And the woman that had the bleeding issue that pushed through the crowd that just touched Jesus' edge of hem of his clothing and he was healed.
So I want people to know that that's back in the biblical days.
Faith over fear still applies today.
It's, you know, it's what's starting a business when the numbers scare you, speaking the truth when silence feels safer.
Fear waits for comfort and faith moves with conviction.
You guys can go on there right now.
I have another, we have a hat that's coming soon.
I don't want to give it away, but you guys can go to, is it, Pat, is it FLB?
VTmerch.com.
VT merch.
Go to vtmerch.com.
Guys, we have hoodies.
We have hats.
Rock it.
And let people know where you stand.
I love it.
Go to vtmerch.com.
Place your order by for yourself, your friends, your peers.
Having said that, let's get right into it.
I want to start off with you, Rob.
Okay, so late night host, Jimmy Cammo, Fallon, all push conspiracy theory that Trump captured Maduro to distract from Epstein files.
Rob, if you got the clips, play it.
We'll react to it.
Go for it.
If you were wondering how bad these Epstein files are for Trump, turns out they're invade Venezuela bad.
This is literally the plot of the movie Wag the Dog.
The president gets caught in a sex scandal, so he attacks a smaller country to distract us.
And here we are, distracted.
On Saturday, Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro and his wife were captured by Delta Force at their home in Caracas and brought to New York.
Trump watched the operation unfold in real time from the bunker in his basement at Mar-a-Lago.
You can see there he is with Hegset and Marco Rubio.
This mission was called Operation Absolute Resolve, which is a title that was definitely generated by ChatGPT.
I'll tell you, my response to that is it's a really good warning to comedians and other hosts and other people who do shows that if you go too far down the conspiracy rabbit hole, or if you just get too politicized and then all of a sudden you're not, you know, you're not in the funny business anymore.
You're just in the it's it's it's politics and it's you know it's really a propaganda through comedic imposition.
They're imposing their views.
And it's just, it wasn't funny and it wasn't particularly interesting.
And it's also, it's just factually incoherent because believe me, if there was anything in those files about Trump, the Democrats had it for years.
They would have released it.
But you think they would have hid that stuff to protect Trump?
No, it would have been out.
Billboards.
So, I mean, look, obviously, all that stuff should come out.
But the presumption that there's stuff there, it's just how much more of this is like, it's like, people see that Russia was all the only two people not involved in the Russia-Trump collusion was Russia and Trump.
Everybody else seemed to be colluding.
So I think the American people see through that.
It's just like when you watch the news, depending if you're watching CNN, you know, you have to go, okay, what aren't, okay, if politics is war by other means, this is war.
So it's just a political warfare.
So what are they not telling you?
And so in this thing, it's just, you know, it's treating your audience like they're stupid or like they're just in your own political echo chamber.
And it's like, he listens.
I mean, I think he's affected by the head writer, who's his wife, who's a liberal.
The head writer is his wife?
Yeah, that's way out there.
Jimmy Kimmel's wife.
Jimmy Kimmel.
No, I know, but the head writer for what?
For the show?
Jimmy Kimmel's show.
Is his wife?
Did you see the podcast where he looked like he was a hostage by her over-liberal white anger and bitterness?
Oh, I think it's, I think, I think it's obviously, look, Jimmy Kimmel's certainly capable of being funny.
I mean, I remember doing, yes, no, I remember doing a the show.
He was the MC while we did the Hugh Hefner roast eight days after 9-11.
And, you know, and he was funny.
He can be funny.
I just, I think when you get so emotionally vested in something, and I just think it's, I will tell you this right now.
There's no way Disney's picking him up after his contract expires in April.
They will let it expire, and that's it.
Disney doesn't want this.
Disney shareholders don't want politics.
They just want it.
They want entertainment.
And why would you want to allow 50 automatically, you know, take, okay, there's 80 million voters that we don't want to watching our show?
It's crazy.
I'm sorry.
I mean, let me ask you a direct question.
He was funny after 9-11, so 24 years ago.
When's the last time Jimmy Kimmel was actually funny?
Well, I will tell you, you can't really come up with like, well, that was a really good zinger.
I mean, like, you know, Jay Leno, you can remember.
I mean, I remember his jokes, you know, when he was on his design.
Hey, you know, remember when Starbucks is the only Starbucks is opening up another 600 Starbucks.
And where can they open it up?
And the only place I can think of is inside of the Starbucks.
He would have Leno was the best.
I mean, he was really the best comedian of his era.
And he was.
But he was fair, though.
That's the thing about Leno.
He called him.
All those guys.
I mean, Carson and Letterman, let me finish.
He will do that often, and you're fine constantly doing that.
Keep going.
No, but they obviously, whoever's in power should go after.
But with jokes.
And I think, yeah, I mean, traditionally, Trump has been thin-skinned about any jokes, but I also think those weren't jokes.
I think Krola was here.
He was very complimentary of Kimmel.
Like, he wouldn't say anything bad about Kimmel because he said Kimmel's the reason why he came up and all this other stuff.
So he's got.
But I know that him and they diverge.
But we have to move.
We all have to.
We can have divergent views without demonizing each other.
And the problem with what Jimmy Kimmel does, and what I just saw, is it's just a continuation of the demonization of half of America.
And well, who's that getting?
How is that getting us anywhere?
I just think it's, again, it's just politics for political gain.
It's some sort of propaganda with comedic imposition.
This is, and the idea that the audience is going to laugh, they're not laughing.
They're applauding in the little political echo chamber.
I'm telling you, he won't be there after Abraham.
Well, let me read this.
Let me read this.
Rob, is this Colbert?
Let's see, Colbert, but I want to go to Conan right afterwards, and I want to get his thoughts on Conan.
So go ahead and play this one here.
You know what this means?
Those Epstein files must be crazy.
BOMB SOMETHING!
Bomb anything.
To me, he's not funny.
To me, he's not funny at all.
At all.
I don't think I've ever written anything.
And this is true.
Trump's New Year's resolution was.
Let me read Conan's and I'm going to come to you.
So Conan O'Brien says, F-Trump comics have been co-opted by anger, just screaming.
Comedian late-night show Conan O'Brien criticizes comics who are more focused on screaming about Trump.
Rob, was there a clip on this or was this?
Okay, go for it.
Play this.
Some comics go the route.
Can we raise the audio a little bit, guys?
I'm going to just say F Trump every all the time, or that's their comedy.
And I think, well, now a little bit, you're being co-opted because you're so angry.
You've been lulled.
It's like a siren leading you into the rocks.
You've been lulled into just saying F Trump, F Trump, F Trump.
Screw this guy.
You know, and I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger.
And that person or any person like that would say, well, things are too serious now.
I don't need to be funny.
And I think, well, if you're a comedian, you always need to be funny.
You just have to find a way.
Bingo.
And you just have to find a way to channel that anger into a way that is because good art will always be a great weapon.
Will always be a perfect weapon against power.
But if you're just screaming and you're just angry, you've lost your best tool in the toolbox.
Rob, what do you say to that?
Well, I think that's wonderful.
And, you know, Conan's very logical, rational, and a good guy.
And also, when he did his show, his monologues were about getting laughs.
It wasn't about some political indoctrination through comedic imposition.
I keep coming back to that.
So he's 100% right.
We have to be there to entertain.
I mean, when I go, and you know, tonight, when I got two shows, I'm there to entertain them.
And if I don't make them laugh, I mean, yeah, oops, I got to call my kid.
She's on her way to school.
We're there to entertain.
And so, yes, I think you can have a political opinion.
But it's just like, you know, Jerry Seinfeld was saying the other day, and we had a, I mean, I talked to him about that at the Saturday Night Live anniversary, 50th anniversary, because he said, I don't believe that there's a woke thing and blah, blah, blah.
And I said, there is woke.
And absolutely.
And he said something like, there's no woke canceling stuff.
And he corrected himself, I think, and he said to me, no, I'm saying that there is, but you can just use, you can find a way around it and still find a way to be funny, which is absolutely true.
And he's one of the masters of all time.
I mean, for his skill and acumen is, you know, he's absolutely brilliant.
I mean, he literally is a genius of comedy.
But he's right.
You have to find a way to get to it.
And so you have, it seems like, you know, Jimmy Kimmel's just in a war.
And before, you know, his contract expires, he's just going to continue to try to burn down as much and just and have a fire going.
And I just said, like, you know, Conan's right.
Your biggest weapon is come up with something funny.
And I think there's absolutely, you have to go after the people in power.
And Trump's in power and the Republicans are in power.
But find a way to do it.
I find a way to do it that has a surprise to it.
And certainly, you know, it's just illogical to think that somehow the Democrats would withhold, you know, really evidence that was showing Trump in a bad light.
If they had it, believe me, it would be everywhere.
Russell.
Rob, here's my thing.
As a fellow comedian, that's just hack.
That's just the joke that everybody.
And by the way, it's been going on for almost 10 years.
It's a hack.
He's a hack.
The other guy's a hack.
My question to you is though, Rob, this is a studio decision.
I know his wife is doing the writing and he's in there and they're patting each other on the back and they're loving each other.
But from a business standpoint, we saw the numbers a couple weeks ago.
They've been hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars.
Nobody's watching.
They haven't changed any course.
He keeps spinning the same rhetoric.
So my question is, is it the donors that are behind the Democratic Party that just want to just destroy?
It's just anti-war.
Disney, as of this point, does not want the political backlash and will continue the bleeding until the contract's up in April.
And then there is no reason financially or a business decision will be to not bring him back.
And that's just, I mean, I'm not saying personally.
It doesn't have anything to do with me.
I'm just saying if they make a decision to keep him and to redo his contract or give him a contract extension to Jimmy Kimmel, that's going to be a purely political decision based on not wanting any crap from the violent or should say the virulent and loud liberal intelligentsia.
But that same liberal intelligentsia isn't watching the show anymore.
Because even they go like, it's not funny.
What am I getting out of it?
They watched it for like the first week or the first couple, the first show when he came back.
But if they do make that decision, it's not a business decision.
They'll be telling their stockholders, we're not making business decisions.
And I just think, you know, it's a business.
You have to make a decision.
And you have to make a decision based on what is going to benefit your stockholders if you're in a business to make money.
It's just like if they had a boat, if Disney has seven cruise lines, the seventh one that they released last year.
If that wasn't making money, then you take the boat off and you don't do that anymore.
This boat, the Jimmy Kimmel late night show, is not making money, and they got to bring it back to dock and figure out how to make money in that spot.
That's it.
It's a business decision.
It's nothing personal.
I mean, if I think it's just those shows are going to go away anyway.
I just think that that's a form that people, I mean, most people.
You're saying it's going to go away.
I'm saying late night shows are going to all be gone.
They're not going to have what's going to replace it.
It's going to be like podcasters and YouTuber like Kill Tony.
Yes.
You're going to have people that are watching specific shows for them.
I mean, Kill Tony is way bigger than all those shows to, you know, exponentially to the 10th power bigger than them.
They have 10 million people will watch each episode.
And but Tony's there to get laughs.
And he's also, I mean, I would say he's more Johnny Carson than any of these late night hosts.
And he's a great man.
I got to tell you, I've never had anybody in this business kinder to me than Tony Hinchcliffe.
Out of the blue.
Didn't know me, never really met me.
He invited me on his show.
And thank you, Tony, for having, you know, the balls to have me because I don't get invited to the late night shows.
But it's like I'm a comedian.
I'm there to get laughs.
But I'm not going to give in to the, you know, I want to go the other way.
And I have gone the other way because it's more interesting.
You want to go against the tide.
But then I had against the tide, you know, being a conservative, you know, in 2020 was not easy.
I had as much as 30 people would get up and walk out for a joke about COVID at that time or about Biden or something.
People would just, and so I had to literally, I talked to John Cleese, who's also, you know, who's a extremely alleged, but also crazy, over-the-top anti-Trump liberal.
But he's a great man.
I don't give a crap of what his politics are.
But he said, Rob, I think you should give a warning before your shows.
And I would know, just say, you know, for those of you who feel me extremely, you know, exceptionally sensitive, those who are trapped in their own political echo chamber, those who, when they hear ideas separate than their own, may cause their emotional collapse, this and that may not be the show for you.
And so I did a version of that.
And I did it for like two years just before.
It was just a warning, you know, before, because it's like, hey, this is a comedy show.
You're going to hear jokes.
And they're not going to be what you know.
You need to challenge your audience.
Otherwise, you're a bore.
So you got to challenge, and you got to challenge both sides.
So I think that's what's going to make it interesting.
And, Rob, how's your relationship with Adam Sandler right now?
I think there was something I read that it was, you know, he goes out of his way to always include an AI thing.
So that's not a real thing.
It's all AI.
It's so funny because even people like yourself are pretty savvy, really savvy.
It's still like you believe it because, you know, there's just these bot farms.
That's why it's very important that Elon Musk and Zuckerberg, hopefully, will put this is made in India by AI, you know, ones.
So well, not just community notes, but it should say we're the country of origin.
Because, you know, India has like literally like an AI machine to just throw stuff out there.
If they get enough YouTube views, they get money on that.
So it's like whether it's China or whether it's Pakistan or whether it's India, it's all fake shit.
But no, Adam supports me.
He's my buddy.
He's my friend.
But at the same time, I think it's a good business decision to stay out of it.
Why would you want to?
It's like, you know, Michael Johnson.
So Adam is good to you.
So you and Adam are good.
Oh, yeah.
Well, Michael Jordan.
So that AI was right that you guys are good.
Well, no, yeah, we are.
But like Michael Jordan is like, right, you know, Republicans buy shoes too.
And it's true.
It's like, I think, why would you want to limit your audience?
However, I think it's, for me, it was important during the last few years to, there's something more important than your comedy career or your getting movies, was that this culture was under attack.
And I believe, you know, being friends with Charlie Kirk was quite an education.
And just, you know, it was indisputable that our culture and Western civilization is under attack.
And I would just ask your viewers and listeners to get the book, Douglas Murray's book, War on the West.
There's a real attack on Western civilization.
And the idea that the United States is just going to continue without our assistance, this incredible experiment in freedom, is an illusion.
We need to step up and it may cost you some money.
But when I think about like, well, I'm not going to probably, you know, studios don't want to hire me now because I've been so conservative.
I would say like the Bill Maher thing, I would say, hey, I've been a liberal.
They moved.
I didn't move.
And then you realize there's an attack on the culture.
It's time to step up and protect it.
And I really feel like it really was.
I mean, when the Biden administration, day one, day one, first thing they did was to contact the White House to contact the social media outlets, Zuckerberg and Facebook and Twitter, and demand that Robert Kennedy be censored.
I mean, that's a fact.
And that just goes to show the politicization of our body politic now.
Was not one Democrat stood up and said, hey, that's wrong.
The only guy kind of that would step up and go against his party is Fetterman.
And he has a brain injury.
So God bless him.
That part of his brain that died was a very, should happen to the rest of the Democratic Party.
That's true.
But I mean that.
I think you have to step up.
And our culture was under attack, for sure.
And I feel like the idea that they're saving democracy, the Democrats weren't saving democracy.
They just got rid of Biden because his brain didn't work.
And everybody knew and everybody in the media knew that his brain, he was basically, you know, a corpse attached to a car battery for four years.
And to just get rid of him and just without the vote, just put Kamala in.
And as I said, replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris is like changing your shirt because you shit your pants.
So it's pretty obvious.
I'll just say this.
Adam Sandler's a living legend.
Respect to him.
Number two, The War on the West.
Douglas Murray is one of the best books I've ever read.
He's just because it's so true.
But to this point about what late night comics are doing with this F-Trump whole phenomenon, what I would say is it goes deeper than that because that's pretty much what's going on with half this country.
It's not just left to comics.
The problem that we have right now is that everyone's so firmly entrenched in their sides and they feel like they need to defend their team.
I got this great question on my neck by this kid Dylan.
He's a young Republican in Iowa.
He goes, Adam, I've seen your evolution because I used to not be a fan of Trump whatsoever.
I was had whatever Trump syndrome, Trump TDS, I had that four years ago, five years ago.
Trump told me to my face that he hated me.
To my face.
And I just laughed, you know?
But I love the guy.
And I have an amazing appreciation.
But he asked me this question in a minute.
He goes, I've seen your evolution.
Why don't you just come out and say that you're a full-on Republican now and register as a Republican in Florida?
I go, I've always been an independent, and I just thought like a Democrat.
Now I think like a Republican.
And the reason that I want to stay an independent is because I want to be able to be fair and balanced in the future.
Yeah, but Adam, don't you know?
Everyone's so in their echo chamber.
Let me interrupt you like you interrupted me.
Adam, let me tell you something.
Let me interrupt you.
No, Adam, here's the problem with that.
What Adam just said is rational and completely a pro-American approach.
I'm going to be an independent and vote for what makes sense.
But don't you understand?
Just saying you're an independent, the Democrats are going to throw you under the right-wing bus and run over you.
No, no, no, but I'm telling you that they're not playing fair.
Just because you're saying you're an independent, if you're not 100% behind all their radical, crazy shit, then you're going to be thrown into that.
Just like they say, they're the fastest.
Yes, that's the thing.
So, but I'm saying, so, but so you have to, that's the area that we're in.
So, you know, whether you consider yourself a conservative or not, they're going to call you a right-winger.
Who cares?
Yeah, exactly.
But who cares?
But I'm saying that that's what we're dealing with.
That's the interpretation.
So, you know, the interpretation is the reality that people carry with them.
And they make their own reality.
Unfortunately, it's not accurate.
So we have to, you know, that that's something that needs to be tackled and gone back to, you know, to calming down.
You know, where is the sympathy when Charlie Kirk got murdered?
When you had people celebrating.
Dancing on his grave.
So you have anybody outside your tribe doesn't get any sympathy or empathy.
But people in your tribe get an overarching, ridiculous amount of empathy.
And it was a terrible tragedy that I wish that ICE officer would not have shot.
I really do.
Let's get into that story.
Let's get into that story, Rob.
If you want to pull it up, so a story comes out: protests held in Minneapolis after a woman shot dead by U.S. immigration agent.
Rob, I think you probably have a few different clips.
Is that the protesting going on right now in Minneapolis yesterday or two days ago?
So this story, when it first came out, you know, JD Vance said it best.
I think there's a clip on it because is there any clips that we have of the cars?
Well, of course, we're not going to maybe show the main clips, but do you have any clips, Rob, to show what happened?
Is this the one?
Okay.
So this is the clip that we all saw.
Actually, no, this isn't the clip that we saw.
The clip we saw was the other one showing the fact that the ICE agent was, you know, defending himself and shooting.
And then this clip gets shown.
Go ahead, Rob, from a different angle.
Yeah, that's real time.
Boom.
What are you doing?
So she drives over the ICE agent.
She's trying to.
She drives over the Ice Agency.
I'm going to say she was in a crazed, she was not in the right frame of mind.
Number one, I would say anybody who.
Rob, let me go to Vinny first.
I'll come to you.
Go ahead, Winnie.
Well, and Robin, I get where you're coming from.
I just want, I want everybody to know first and foremost, okay?
If she hadn't been committing a crime, she would still be alive.
Interfering with federal law enforcement and obstructing a federal officer is a crime under law.
And let me tell you where it is.
Under 18 U.S.C. 111, it's a federal crime to forcefully assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with any federal officer while they're performing official duties.
That's the problem.
No, she hits the bottom.
It doesn't take away from the tragedy.
No, no.
What I want to dig into, you're 100% right, 100%.
However, you got to know that in any tragedy, there's a confluence of things that combine to set the stage for this tragedy.
I mean, the fact that there's been this over, overwhelming rhetoric against federal officers in this nation, this hateful rhetoric, the demonizing, the calling them Nazis and fascists, and creates this situation where people who are vulnerable will put themselves in harm's way, which is what happened.
And it's very similar to the social contagion, which is thankfully shrinking now of transgenderism, where these kids who are vulnerable and a high percentage of them, upwards of 80% of these kids who identify as trans are vulnerable kids on the spectrum of autism.
So you have a social contagion there.
You had the social contagion of fear during COVID.
So you just have these people that are being manipulated through emotion to not make decisions that are in the best interest of themselves and put themselves in harm's way.
So while I say I agree with you 100%, it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a tragedy and doesn't take away from the fact that that was a preventable tragedy.
And I mean that.
I mean, yes, he was hit and yes, he's not going to be convicted, obviously.
But this is an officer that already got into a situation where he got injured by a car and had stitches in his legs and stuff from what I was dragged 300 feet by an illegal that they were trying to arrest for, guess what?
Assaulting a nine-year-old minor, like sexually assaulting.
So that's why this guy has is, by the way, I'm not saying it's going to make him a little on edge, but first, like, if you think about it, Rob.
I think that guy should not be in the field after that.
I just do.
But I mean, think about it.
He loves his job so much that even though he's not.
He loves his job so much, but I think at a certain point, you have to make decisions that the individual officers don't get to make.
Let me ask you a question.
Where's the accountability?
I'm going to pick one guy, Tim Waltz, calling them ICE Gestapo.
I'm saying that that's insane.
Yeah, no, what I'm saying is, but this girl.
That is a body, that is a political warfare.
No, no, but there's no accountability for them.
How many times have they been calling these people?
You have the JD Vance clip.
Well, absolutely.
I mean, I'm not saying that's not the same thing.
And then, Rob, respond to this.
Go ahead, Rob.
No, no, the other Rob, Rob.
Go ahead, Rob, you.
Go ahead.
No, I'm saying you have to acknowledge a tragedy.
We also, we have to be, when there are citizens that are not in a right frame of mind, we have to, just like in Los Angeles, I mean, this is crazy, but like, literally, they let people at Home Depot, they'll just, people who are stealing stuff, they let them go.
Why?
Because they don't want to deal with the insurance hassle if the person pretends to fall down and hurt themselves.
They just don't want to do it.
That's how screwed up our legal system is and the scummy attorneys that would represent them.
So I think when you know that there's something like this, they have to calm their heads, they have to prevail.
And I just, it just, it is.
So you're saying he shouldn't have shot?
I'm saying he obviously defended himself.
I'm saying he should not have, in my opinion, I'm not a police officer.
I've never been in the armed services.
I'm saying that it was a preventable.
That I wish that in situations like this, just like in Los Angeles or just like when there's car speed chases, you got to let them go.
Don't get in front of the car.
And I think that's dangerous for everybody involved.
Yes, if there's somebody speeding, it's more dangerous in a speed chase to interfere and then just let them go.
That was a parked car.
She did it on purpose.
She came and set up with her wife.
Her wife or whatever got out of the car and she said, but Rob, because I was, hold on.
I was a security forces member in the United States Air Force.
When it comes to that type of thing, you're doing a convoy and somebody's blocking you off, the fear of an ambush, meaning people coming from the side and shooting.
You can't be a stationary target.
So what she's doing, and mind you, I want to say one thing.
This girl, Renee Goode, she was an Ice Watch warrior.
She was trained to do exactly what she was doing to resist, to get in their way, to blow whistles and do all that stupid stuff that she's doing.
I understand 100%.
No, it's avoidable.
Can I show one thing really quick, Pat?
Rob, show the video of this police officer.
By the way, this is a Army, a military veteran from Baltimore.
This older video of Amy Caprillo, who was run over.
And by the way, this was on the news pad, so they're going to show it.
Look at how fast this situation, she's to the side, goes from, hey, get out of the car to she is dead.
And her audio was live of her dying on this call.
So look how fast this happens.
Go ahead, Rob.
This person's in the car.
They get in the car.
Check this out.
Done.
She's dead.
She's dead.
So in this situation, again, the blame goes to the Democratic Party who has been pushing this rhetoric for years.
Nazi Gestapo and everything.
And Rob, to be honest with you, this is what they wanted.
This is what Tim Wallace, this is what Elon Omar, this is what Davin Newsom, when they say get in the street, get in their face, resist, take off your mask.
What do you have for them?
100%.
This is a direct result.
I'm agreing with Altar Drummond.
However, I'm agreeing with all the people.
They want their name.
Now they have it.
Yeah, they wanted somebody to, they wanted a martyr that they could use for because they don't care about people.
None of those politicians.
By the way, Robinson, I'm saying, look, I'm saying what they did by that officer firing and getting in front of the car gave them what they wanted.
They gave them the shift of the narrative to the unbelievable graft and corruption and fraud by the Democratic Party to the tune of $900 billion potentially, as Elon Musk said.
It could be anywhere from $300 to $900 billion.
Literally, if you take away the corruption and the fraud from the Democratic Party, it could lower our taxes.
Literally, anyone under $500,000 making that, anyone $500,000 or less would pay zero taxes.
That's the kind of corruption that Elon Musk thinks we have, those numbers.
All I'm saying is simply this.
I agree with you 100%.
And the fact that there is nobody, that the same people have a certain zero empathy for an officer who was killed in the line of duty exposes them for their hypocrisy and that this is just all politics.
Let's do this.
Let's listen to what JD has to say.
Let's see, because I've been trying to play this JD Clip G. Go ahead and play this clip.
I was actually walking out here.
Somebody sent me a photo of a CNN headline about what happened in Minneapolis.
And this is the headline.
I'm just going to read it.
Outrage after ICE officer kills U.S. citizen in Minneapolis.
Well, that's one way to put it.
And that is the way that many people in the corporate media have put this attack over the last 24 hours.
And I say attack very, very intentionally because this was an attack on federal law enforcement.
This was an attack on law and order.
This was an attack on the American people.
The way that the media, by and large, has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace, and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day.
What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg.
So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile.
What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America.
What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.
1,000%.
If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws.
The president stands with ICE to pause the right to ICE.
1,000% agreed with everything he had to say.
And it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a tragedy.
And he also said it.
I think he also said it's a tragedy.
We have to know that a human life here was manipulated and is lost.
And what I'm saying is, absolutely, the officer was defending himself, but I wish he didn't fire.
And I also think that we have to do everything we can in a situation to not put yourself in harm's way.
What she did was put herself in harm's way.
And I'm not an officer.
This is just my opinion.
Is that you cannot give fuel to Tom, what are you thinking with this?
What are you reasonable guy?
What I think is, Rob, maybe that's true, but let's back up a second.
Who was in harm's way?
The officer first was in harm's way, and then she didn't put herself in harm's way.
She suffered the consequence of interfering with a live law enforcement engagement.
That's what happened.
And JD Vance is right.
They want the mainstream media is still run by liberals that hate Trump.
And as Conan O'Brien said, it's F-Trump, F-Trump.
So guess what?
Now they have their body.
Now they have their George Floyd t-shirt.
And now they have to do that.
All I'm saying is that I think that was available no matter what.
They've got their George Floyd mural now.
And now it's a woman.
Fantastic.
Now they got a little equal opportunity in their martyr cast.
I'm saying that they're correct, and I think we need to support it.
The sheriff in Florida came out yesterday, Pat, in the afternoon and said, let me just say something, folks.
If you're going to interfere with law enforcement in Florida, this is exactly what you're going to have here because we are going to ensure that our law enforcement feel safe on the job and supported.
There he is, so that they stay on the job and they don't quit or retire early because we need law enforcement to protect you the public.
We need it.
And the degradation and the demonization from the left attacking ICE officers verbally and physically is beyond disgraceful.
And it's created this dangerous situation.
But I'm saying since we know that it's a dangerous situation, I guarantee you that the ICE officers have to adjust accordingly because you're not.
And I agree with you.
I'm not disagreeing.
I'm saying that you have people here like this woman who's clearly not in a frame of mind.
You got to know that they are.
The officer didn't know that.
He doesn't know who this person.
He doesn't know if there's a person armed.
He doesn't know if there's a person, if there's other people that could be in the vehicle that are armed.
He does not have that information.
All he knows is there's somebody now impeding his job.
However, all that in mind, I guarantee you, the ICE officers, they have to, you know, they also, part of that training has to be, they're not dealing with rational, normal people, which has to, at the same time, heighten their awareness in a ready extremely difficult job where you have to.
I really don't know what you're saying, Rob.
Respect.
The demonization.
I have no clue what you're saying.
I'm listening to you.
Listen to me.
Officers, they have to be like, and have to stop the person again at another place and then let him go again and then stop him at another place.
Let's play that logically.
This makes zero sense to me.
So feel free to push back because you're a reasonable guy.
I can't comprehend your reasoning.
Don't be in front of the car because it can go forward.
Don't be in back of the car because it back up.
Don't drive over a cop.
Absolutely.
So that's breaking the law.
It's like saying, hey, you know, when these guys are coming around, coming crossing a border illegally, guys, let's not hurt them.
Let's not like that.
No, that's not.
Let's just tell them, please go back and do that.
But if it's a truck that's coming over the border, get out of the way.
If it's a truck coming over the border, I'm blowing up the truck.
I'm blowing up the truck.
I'm being serious with you.
If a truck is coming, if I'm on the job of being a stand in front of it, blow it up and stand in the street.
And that's exactly what I'm doing.
I agree with you.
I agree.
If there's a truck coming across the border, absolutely.
You got to fire.
You got to protect your country.
I'm trying to read your truth.
So, Adam, Warrior, do you have a ton of money?
Just give a different perspective.
And look, I'm not disagreeing with anything you guys are saying, but JD Vance, I'm saying now you have to know you're dealing with mental people.
You have to know you're dealing with people that are not in the right frame of mind.
You have to know that going in.
And you have to, yes, officers have to protect themselves.
That comes first.
But at the same time, I just think I guarantee you, the ICE officers.
Well, let me do this.
Let me go to Jacob Fry and then I'm going to come to you guys.
Rob, play a clip from Jacob Fry.
Here's what he had to say: the mayor of Minneapolis.
This guy's a piece of shit.
Oh, freaking Nobel Prize.
There's little I can say again that'll make this situation better, but I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE.
To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.
We do not want you here.
Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite.
Well, that guy is a lunatic, and we have lunatics who are running our cities.
That exposes so many things.
They would rather have their city fall apart.
They would rather have it overrun by people who are not citizens.
They don't care about the safety of their particular citizens.
It's all a political show.
And that guy is a disgrace.
And I think you see that.
I mean, you Adam, your thoughts?
Sure.
So I'll give you a different perspective.
Is anybody surprised that this is occurring in Minneapolis, Minnesota at this point?
Yeah.
To me, this is just an ultimate failure of leadership, whether it's this mayor Jacob Frey or Tim Walz.
Every major incident that we've seen in this country, for the most part, in the last five years, has occurred in one city, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
And this ICE thing is just the latest thing.
Whether it's George Floyd, whether it's the Somalian fraud case, whether it's the BLM protest, whether it's the Catholic school shooting just a few months ago, how much fraud needs to take place in the sanctuary city for this gentleman to take a look in the mirror and say, maybe it's my weird, woke, weak policies that have caused this.
And then ultimately, what's the reward for all this chaos in Minnesota?
Let's take Tampon Tim Walz and make him almost the second most powerful person in this country.
To me, Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota is the tipping point for chaos in this country.
Let me say, Minnesota.
I remember when I was a kid in Minneapolis when I was a young comedian, and I remember going to, I remember to get with another comedian.
We were driving to a gig and we stopped at a gas station, and they took a check from the other commanders.
They take a check?
How gullible are these people?
You have the nicest people.
I just ran into a bunch of them from Minnesota.
Nice, really, really good people.
I ran them to the airport.
And believe me, they don't want to be run over by people coming in from other countries.
They don't want them to be the ones choosing their elected leaders.
They don't want crime in there.
And they prefer ICE to come in and take out illegals.
And that's ICE's job.
But you're dealing with a group of people, and they're being manipulated by people who are not good faith actors.
These are not people.
This guy, this Mayor Fry, he is a bad faith actor.
He doesn't have what's best in mind.
He's not trying to calm down the situation.
He's using political, he's using this as a time to drum things up to make things more difficult because it's just a political warfare.
That's what we're doing.
But here's the thing, Rob.
Where is the accountability going to go to?
Because if you, as a leader, if I tell you guys right now, hey, Rob, go to that house and break into it right now and break the law.
You know who's going to get in trouble?
Me.
I sent you.
My favorite show is the first 48.
If people tell you to go somewhere, like Charles Manson, he got in trouble.
He didn't kill anybody.
He told people to go kill.
So when's the accountability going to come to?
These morons, because at the end of the day, let's go to the beginning.
Number one, you broke the law.
Ready for this?
George Floyd, who was a scumbag drug addict who held a gun to a pregnant girl's stomach while his friends robbed the house, if he wasn't a dirtbag, law-breaking drug addict who was trying to pass a $20 bill at a gas station, he never meets Derek Chauvin, period.
Their paths never cross.
And the mental state that you're talking about about this girl, she wasn't out of her mind.
This is the communist directive from 1943.
Rob, can you play it?
They've brainwashed these people.
They're not out of their mind.
It's purposefully, Rob.
It's purposeful.
So my point is, I'm saying the same thing.
They're brainwashed.
Let me finish my point, though.
Where's the accountability for the person telling you to go and break the law?
Tim Walz is saying, go and do this.
Get in front of their faces.
They're the Gestapo.
It has to fall on you.
And isn't it?
Adam made a great point.
It's ironic.
The biggest fraud in the history of the country is happening there.
Any distraction these people want, not for you to look.
But this is my point.
I want this is from what?
How old?
Rob, this 1943 communist directive.
Listen to how the Democratic Party, because at the end of the day, Rob, this all, I used to call the whole party.
It's not the whole party.
Please let me finish my point.
These people have lost the plot.
They have no God.
Name me one Democrat.
And I'm not saying be as proud as I am or as Pat or as a Tom with our faith.
Where are the people that believe in God?
We're the God-fearing Christian people that have any backbone, anything.
They lost it, Rob.
It's all LGBTQ, open the border, fraud.
Name me one thing that this party stands for.
It's enough playing pussyfooting around and going, no, there's some good ones.
There aren't.
Please play this, Rob of Lau.
This is the mentality of what they do to your brains if you're watching this and you're a Democrat.
Go ahead.
1943, 82 years ago.
The following directive was in 1943.
The following directive was issued from party headquarters to all communists in the United States.
It read: When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable buildups as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic and use the prestige of anti-fascist intolerance organizations to discredit them.
In the public mind, constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell.
The association will, after enough repetition, become fact in the public mind.
Boom.
So, Rob, does Tim Walz get held accountable for her life?
The blood is on his hands.
You can't tell people, go fight, go be illegal, go break the law, and then she dies and nobody says anything to him.
Well, you have to, that's an incitement.
Any incitement to violence is prosecutable.
I mean, he could be prosecuted for an incitement for violence.
But you have, it's just become normalized in the Democratic Party.
You can just go like Democrats being violent and look it up on YouTube.
And it's just all of them just saying, get in the streets, get in their face, don't let them eat at a restaurant.
Don't give them no peace.
So you have it.
It's just, you know, it is evil and it's awful.
And it's something.
But how do you fight it back?
I mean, you have to, first of all, we're in such a bad shape.
We're such, I mean, as far as the prosecutions are, we're in bad shape.
When I go to my local Walmart in Arizona, and there's a lot of things that are behind glass, and they told me they had 1.2, this one particular store in Scottsdale, Arizona, $1.2 million of theft in 2024.
And that's, and I said, that's ridiculous.
And what's down from 3.
No, from 2.5 million in 2023.
So eventually, they said, we're going to put everything behind glass.
So at what point when you do not have the police arrest and have prosecutors, and this is Arizona, pretty purple state, conservative legislator, not governor or senators, unfortunately.
But you have, so we have to make a shift.
This cannot continue.
This is not the, you know, the good times of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
I didn't realize that the whole culture would be under attack like this.
Yes, if you were an incitement to violence, you need to be prosecuted.
But you have an entire Democratic Party that is feeding off of that, and they're raising money off it.
And what it's doing is it's creating brainwashed.
And I know you have a problem with me saying mental problems.
This brainwashed and mental problems.
They get whipped up into this.
Let's just go to another term.
They're being emotionally driven to do things that are dangerous.
And that's exactly what's happening.
But at the end of the day, like the police officers and the ICE officers specifically, they got to look out for their own safety.
Absolutely.
And all I said, and all I mean was like there has to be a protocol.
And there is protocol.
You got to protect yourself, but also just, you know, it's a damaged person, and I just wish it wouldn't have happened.
I don't know all the facts on the ground.
Let's go to the next story.
Let's go to the next story.
Next story.
Marco Rubio making moves on Greenland as Trump extremely serious about buying island valued at $3.3 billion sources.
Say, Rob, I think you got to keep it.
$3.3 billion.
$3.3 billion.
That's a lot of money for ICE.
That's actually not a lot of money if you think about it, right?
For the resources that they have.
Remember, we bought Alaska for $7.2 million, and they called it the dumbest deal of all time until later on America found gold and oil.
And then they said, oh, my God, what a great deal.
So, Rob, if you got this clip, go ahead and play it.
Go for it.
Secretary on Denmark.
Why is the administration not taken Denmark's offer to discuss the situation in Greenland?
Oh, I'll be meeting with them next week.
But will you take military intervention off the table?
I'm not here to talk about Denmark or military intervention.
I'll be meeting with them next week.
We'll have those conversations with them then.
But I'm not having anything further to add to that.
Well, I think it's a simple, I think it's a treaty that we can have.
Let me go to Tom first, and then I'll come to you.
Go ahead, Tom.
I think what people are missing here is we have an aggressive Russia that's in the middle of a war, and they're, and this is the part, this isn't too far below the surface, no pun intended, but their major submarine base and their naval is on the north side.
Greenland becomes a strategic listening post, and NATO has been quietly talking about Greenland as a strategic place to, you know, observe Russia and to have military installation there as part of Northern Atlantic.
Remember, NATO, North Atlantic.
This is the area.
And so Greenland has been a topic for a while.
The Brits and the Germans have been all talking about who's going to foot the bill when Greenland comes up.
There's big bills in NATO.
And guess what Trump has been doing?
He's been forcing Europe, you know, Pat?
He forced Europe to pay their fair share of those NATO bills.
Everybody increased slowly, yes.
That's exactly.
And so what's going on in Greenland, the U.S. strategically below the surface, wants to turn Greenland into Puerto Rico.
It'll have its own independence in this, but it's going to be like Guam, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico.
That's what's going to be there.
And then it's going to get military installations there.
And then second, China is already there cutting contracts to dig up half of Greenland to get to rare earth minerals, which belong to, in the eyes of Washington, to a security narrative on a global security basis.
You don't want China there doing that.
So it solves China and the rare earth minerals.
It provides protection.
You figure out who's going to pay for Greenland and the NATO protection, which is going to be us.
And the news media wants to call it an invasion.
Like we're going to take it over like China is about to take over Taiwan.
No, that's not what's going on here.
It starts with security and keeping China out of our backyard.
That's where it starts.
Adam, where are you at with this?
To me, this is such a Trump move.
I can just see Trump sitting in a meeting one day and they're being like, Trump, what are your thoughts on Green?
It's like, it's green.
I love green.
It's money.
Land.
I love real estate.
It's the world's largest island.
I don't know if you know that.
It's the world's, we're going to make Greenland great again.
I just see Trump being obsessed with Greenland.
Yes, there's geopolitical notions with this.
Yes, there's assets there.
Yes, there's minerals there.
Whatever it may be strategically, I think just knowing Trump at the lowest common denominator is like, love me some Greenland.
And he's now obsessed with Greenland.
That's my assumption.
Rob, your thoughts.
All right.
I got a couple of things to say.
I think that Denmark has to negotiate something that benefits the people of Greenland.
And I think they could, absolutely.
I just think in the same way, I think Canada could have a good negotiation.
But specifically with Greenland, it is a, I was way, way more dovish than any of this stuff.
But I think when you think geopolitically and you have to work out some sort of situation.
So you cannot have China taking over Venezuela and that oil.
You just can't do it and expect to still, you know, have, you know, to have your dominance in this region.
And, you know, we need to do that.
I would never have thought I would have gotten there.
And the same thing with Greenland.
They have to work out some accommodation, but they will.
And it's a treaty.
At the end of the day, they'll come up to Denmark and they'll have some kind of treaty.
It's just that Trump comes off to these people as uncouth and bombastic in the way he talks.
And I think if it was like Clinton, they would have figured out a deal already.
You know, seriously, because the Democrats, and it's all the media that just, you know, just like how the headline that JD Vance read, they manipulate.
They just manipulate.
It's just political warfare to undermine this conservative, this anti-establishment president.
So I do think that we're not going to have it.
Well, we'll say, as far as Greenland's concerned, they have to have a treaty.
And if they won't do the treaty, I think that there's another way to make that work.
I do think, though, if you look at our Constitution, it has to be Congress has to approve any military action, no matter what.
There still has to be through Congress.
Unfortunately, after 9-11, the Congress has just given all the powers.
And we no longer have a legislature.
We just have an emperor that we elected.
PPD, can I get your opinion on this?
Because we saw what the late night comics did.
There said that just a diversion.
Him going after Maduro is just a deflection after the Epstein files.
If you're putting yourself in Trump's shoes, you have so much going on in the world.
You just did the Mideast Peace Deal, Maduro.
Where is Greenland legitimately on his list of priorities, in your opinion?
Yeah, I don't know where it's on his list.
Here's what I will tell you.
If you study history, America, for the longest time, we were all about expansionism.
So we had the 13 colonies originally, and then we buy Louisiana for $7.2 million from Napoleon because he was fighting everybody in Europe.
So then America doubles in size, Rob, if you want to pull up the map when we bought Louisiana for $7.2 million.
And then from there, we buy Florida for $5 million for nothing.
Literally, we bought Florida for $5 million.
And then we go to the only one that we had to go to war for land was against Mexico, which we got California, Arizona, New Mexico, all of that.
Texas actually wasn't war.
Texas became its own country from 1836 to 1845.
And they even had their own embassy.
If you pull up, Rob, embassy of Texas in Louisiana, in London and France.
Type in Texas Embassy, London, France.
And go to images.
If you go to images, if you go to images, take a look at this.
This is Texas's embassy right there, Rob.
Click on the one you had right there on the first one you had.
No, no, on the first one you had, Rob?
On the first one you had, Rob.
Yeah, on that on the Rob, you just had it.
Yeah, zoom in on that one if you can.
Yeah, Texas, that is their embassy in London.
And we had it also in France.
So Texas chooses to come in and be part of the union, but we had to pay Mexico $3.4 million.
We collected, we rolled the debt and we paid Mexico 15 million bucks.
And then Hawaii was known as their own kingdom across a lot of different countries.
Hawaii comes in and we're expanding.
And then the last biggest expansion, a president that we had was a guy named James Polk.
James Polk draws a line, which he was brilliant, by the way.
If you see James Polk's line, Rob, can you type in James Polk, borderline, Cuba, Mexico?
If you just type in James Polk, borderline, Cuba, Mexico, go to images.
You'll see it.
Here's what he said should be the line.
Go a little bit lower.
Yeah, you can just use that one, Rob, the one you have up.
Make it bigger.
His line was Mexico needed to be a part of America.
Cuba needed to be a part of America.
And he was expanding.
And then Congress is like, no, no, no.
If we bring Mexico to be a part of it, we're going to get too many Catholics and then we're going to have to give them, it's going to confuse the nationalists that we have in America.
Then afterwards, World War I happens.
And after World War I, when that takes place, you know, everybody was like, this is going to be the last war.
We're not going to have another war after this one.
And then we're going to be fine.
And they're like, wait a minute.
We became isolationists.
We kind of are like, look, don't mind anybody's, but we became a little bit scared.
God forbid next war happens because some of these things that we had, we didn't have a lot of weapons.
We were not a strong military yet.
Then comes the next phase, which is by far the phase that is not the good phase.
Post-1950, World War II, when that comes, we decide to intervene in different ways.
So we go do coups or sanctions or proxy wars.
And that's what we start.
We start poking and getting involved in too many elections.
Well, that was manipulation.
Let me finish, Rob.
So this is the whole thing because of communism.
But then guess when that happens after 1950, guess what started in 1947?
The CIA started in 1947.
So now, since Polk, the first time ever we're getting a president that's thinking about expansionism without killing anybody, it's like he just, hey, we're going to go in.
Malduro's out.
Here's what we're doing, 30 to 50 million barrels.
Quite frankly, if you're American, how do you think America became America?
You think all these lands were just handed to us?
You know, hey, let me have this land, take it.
No, you go on and say, so to me, a part of me is thinking, saying, if Trump can go and say, Panama Canal, we're doing this deal, China, you're not getting involved, period.
I'm putting this here, it's going to come through.
And if you don't, I'm going to come out here and take all the oil from you from Venezuela.
If you want to come to the Western Hemisphere, this whole monroe doctrine, we're going to turn into a Don Road doctrine.
The Western Hemisphere's priority is ours.
You guys go deal with everything else.
I like that he's expanding and thinking long term because forget this term.
Go next president and think if China decides to do the next COVID.
What is the next COVID thing that China could do?
So imagine if one, they shut down the Panama Canal and food and supplies not coming here.
Two, China has all these minerals that you need.
If they have control of that and we don't have, so now he goes and says, no, no, we need Greenland because I can't.
The way he's sequencing this out, if people are not following this, so I support this.
I know a lot of people are saying, this is not what I voted for.
This is not what I did.
This I voted for this.
I like the fact that he's playing offense and thinking 40 years.
And the more we study history, you'll realize long term, this is going to protect Americans.
Is this going to be beneficial for everybody around the world?
Maybe, but I know it's going to be beneficial for America.
So I support it.
Right.
Well, if you take a look at Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, those places are not better off with American intervention.
I will say that, and that was mentioned by Congressman Thomas Massey, who I like a lot.
And I know Trump doesn't like him now, but he's wrong about Venezuela.
And I'll tell you simply this: all those countries had one thing in common.
They had tribes who hated each other.
And when the dominating force, whether it was Saddam Hussein, whatever, was taken out of power, then it became this killing field.
And that's what happens when America interferes in that region.
I will say it's not going to happen in Venezuela because you got Catholics there.
Here's what you never hear.
Hey, a group of Christians went on a train the other day and stabbed a bunch of people.
You don't hear that.
So I think it's, you know, we have to be wary of just going in and replacing other leaders around the world.
If this guy's a drug pinned, it'll be brought out in court.
I mean, I think the people who are protesting against this are these white liberals, but anybody who has any Venezuelan experience and any Venezuelan, they're all celebrating for a reason.
And I have to listen to that because I don't know as much as them.
Well, I know a lot of Venezuelans in Miami, and not one is upset about Maduro.
And by the way, that goes for anyone that has any affiliation with Latin America.
My Colombian friends are happy about this.
My Mexican friends about this.
Anyone who hates communism and fascism and socialism advocates for this.
I'll say one thing that I agree with you on.
We don't understand that side of the world as well as they thought they did.
Something that I always think about is that every country wants the same two things: peace and prosperity.
So in Venezuela, they want that.
In Greenland, they want that.
Mexico, they want that.
On that side of the world, they don't want that.
They don't want peace and prosperity.
A lot of what they want is jihad.
So we went in there trying to give them peace and prosperity and democracy.
They're like, not so fast.
We're jihadists.
We're trying to take over the world in our frame of worldview.
So to me, it's completely different what we tried to do toppling these regimes decades ago versus what's happening here.
I can tell you about Thomas Massey and some of these guys on not wanting to be involved.
And I get that.
I get the whole conversations of not wanting to do that.
But I don't mind expanding.
I don't mind thinking long term.
I don't mind strategizing our next moves.
I totally get that part of, I will not want military to go into Greenland like Rand Paul.
Is this the clip with Rand Paul sent?
Go ahead and play this clip where, and Tom, I'm going to come to you next on this one.
Go ahead, Paul.
Go ahead, G.
It won't happen under my rules.
Today, your name is G, just so you know.
I know they had a military takeover of Greenland.
What I can tell you, though, is if you want to purchase Greenland, the best way would be to try to have goodwill with the people.
So, first, it would probably require a vote of the people to be independent of Denmark, which I think the people of Greenland are inclined to do.
And then it would have to be some sort of offer of something that makes it better to be part of the United States.
We have acquired territory.
I mean, half the United States came to us through the Louisiana purchase.
Alaska came to us through a purchase.
But you didn't get to those purchases like any deal or diplomacy by insulting your opponent.
You get there by actually trying to please.
So, he's Tom, your thoughts on this.
So, getting back to what you were talking about about American expansion, yeah, that's not about military intervention and blood on the floor.
Not at all.
Most Americans don't know about a couple things because our news media refuses to talk about it.
But the GIUK gap, some people call it the Juke Gap, GIUK, which stands for Greenland, Iceland, UK, is a gap in the North Atlantic that is strategically important and over the last five years has had tremendous increase in Russian sub-activity.
And so, in September of last year, what was Operation Arctic Light?
That wasn't in the headlines.
It was a major naval exercise by NATO that was on the coast of Iceland, the west coast of Iceland, and the east coast of there it is, Arctic Light, major military exercise.
Because NATO came to Denmark and said, Man, we got to do this exercise here.
We're going to do some testing.
We want to be below the ice in the North Sea, and we want to have submarine listening installations.
There's things we want to do.
And Denmark said, Well, I'm a little light on cash this week.
I assume you guys are going to pay for it.
And there it is: the United States, France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden were part of the bankroll for this.
Then let's go back to May.
You know what Operation Dynamic Mongoose was?
It was another North Atlantic activity because of increased Russian naval activity.
NATO has been up there looking over this for a while, and then the Chinese are pulling in to get minerals.
I support this expansion because there's a security element and an expansion element.
And let me quote Marco Rubio, the one quote he gave that wasn't on television.
Apparently, he said, Look, we're eager to build lasting commercial relationships that benefit Americans and the people of Greenland and Denmark.
Our common adversaries are increasingly active in the Arctic.
It's a huge concern that the United States and Denmark and the NATO allies share.
So, if the America expands it, I support what Trump is doing.
Look how many parts of this get solved by Trump showing leadership on a world stage and doing this.
I want to give Trump a little credit for one thing.
I was very frustrated with Trump, and especially in his first term, when the rhetoric and the bombasticness of his words were, we're going to win so big, you're going to get sick of winning, and then we weren't winning.
And it was so easy to be like, What now?
At this point, we are winning, and his actions are speaking louder than his words.
I'll also say another thing: the challenge that he had in his first administration in 2016, he had all these bootlickers around him that wouldn't say, talk back to him.
Look what Mike Pence does.
Mike Pence was probably the worst VP for not even counteracting maybe anything that Trump did.
Look at the two people closest to Trump now.
You have Marco Rubio, who was a foe and was deemed little Marco, that is now maybe the greatest Secretary of State we've seen in our lifetime.
And number two, a Trump-hating VP named JD Vance, who is a fighter and advocate for him.
So in my opinion, Trump is working with people that may or may not he would have aligned with in his first time in office, and they're basically helping him win so big that we're not getting tired of winning.
Well, look at Elon Musk as well.
I mean, they had their little fight, and they're back and had dinner this week.
Look, he's not afraid to meet with people and work with people.
And President Trump has done an exceptional job, I believe.
And I'm shocked at how I just can't believe that Iranian bombing success.
I mean, I'm against bombing anybody in the Middle East.
And I think I just, he knows more than I do.
They know more than I do.
Well, and I'm against just, you know, unilaterally just going without Congress's approval and bombing.
I think that's, but as far as it seemed to be effective to take out, you know, everyone says that, Rob, and I want to get your opinion.
Every time that we need to do something, we need to have people that can't agree on anything agree on something about massive magnitude.
That to me is counterproductive for our country.
Well, in our Constitution, you have to have the Congress decide going to war.
If we're going to war, but I think is a single bombing a war?
What constitutes a war?
What we did is that we're going to be able to do a bombing constitutes.
If you're going to kill people, that constitutes a war.
If it's not...
People are...
Then we have a war on our street every single day.
We do.
Okay, let me just tell you this thing.
As far as this is really interesting, and I think, PBD, you're going to like this.
And I think this is, as far as the rare earth minerals, China cutting us off, potentially cutting us off, is a national defense issue.
However, there is an answer to this.
And this is like, to me, absolutely incredible.
There's a chemist, James Tour, T-O-U-R.
We know James Torr.
The nanotechnologist using flash dual technology can make, and you guys know him, this guy is the potential answer for getting these rare earth minerals out of recycling old electronics and taking ash from coal-burning plants and then basically putting between these two hot coils like a toaster, and then that turns it.
And then when you put, is it chloride on it and then you're able to make these things at a lower temperature to get more of these rare earth minerals?
And this is the answer.
We don't need China.
And truthfully, we don't even need the rare earth minerals in Greenland.
We can just, you can make it right here.
And I think I'm going to go out to that plant in March and check it out.
And I think that's the answer.
And that's what I think.
Well, until that day, when they figured that out, we're expanding and protecting it to make sure long-term we're good.
But I love that there's ideas like this, and I think that's going to be happening.
But somebody online proposed a great idea about how to get Greenland, and it's straight up out of Game of Thrones type of stuff.
And they said, why don't we just have Baron Trump marry Princess Isabella of Denmark and Greenland is given to America as dowry payment.
So not a bad idea.
I just don't know if that's his type or not.
She's not bad looking, but we'll see.
That's not what your country can do for you.
What can you do for your country, Darren?
Baron Trump, we need you, buddy.
It's a sacrifice that I think he should make.
It's a sacrifice that he should make.
And by the way, just now if we want to go into Iran, just now, if we want to go into Iran, story just came in.
A tweet from Khamenei 40 minutes ago.
Our enemies don't know Iran.
In the past, the U.S. failed due to their flawed planning.
They too, today too, their flawed scheming will cause them to fail again.
Okay, so that's Khamenei.
Now, keep in mind.
I don't know if he's in the country still.
No, we don't know that.
And he says, God willing, God will bring the feeling of victory to the streets of the hearts of all the Iranian people very soon.
So he's been tweeting left and right.
Today, like the past, the U.S. is wrong in its calculation about Iran.
Today, the Iranian nation is even more equipped and armed than that day before the revolution.
Both our spiritual strength and hard conventional weapons can't be compared to what we had before.
By the way, he's tweeted like seven, eight, ten times this morning.
The Iranian people will not tolerate the hairlings of foreign powers.
Okay, so why don't we do this?
Khamenei, a question for you and Pezeshkian.
Why did you turn off the internet yesterday?
Rob, if you want to go to the tweet of, just go to my Twitter account, Rob.
You don't even need to go to a different place.
Yeah, right there.
So zoom in a little bit on the bottom, the chart to show to him.
This is the internet in Iran, completely shut down as of yesterday.
So Khamenei and Pezeshkian, why did you turn it off?
Why is that turned off?
Number came in right now: 50 plus people have been killed, died in Iran.
Now, some are saying it's in the hundreds when you talk to people who are Iranian.
Nobody knows, but there's a lot of different things that are being talked about.
And on top of that, yesterday, I believe Reza Pahlavi, Rob, if you want to pull up his Twitter account, there was a story by a guy named Eli who tweets out.
I send it to you, Rob, in your text.
There is a tweet by Eli, Rob, I send it in your text.
There's a tweet by a guy named Eli that said yesterday Reza Pahlavi was going to meet with Donald Trump.
So that was a meeting that came out.
I say they're going to have a meeting at the beginning, the bottom tweet, Rob, if you can just click on the bottom tweet.
This was going viral, breaking.
Iran's crown prince is going to Mar-a-Lago to meet with the president.
Two hours later, after this goes viral, the same guy retweets and says, correction, good for him.
Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi will hold a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, but he is not scheduled to meet with Trump.
And then yesterday, Hugh Hewitt asks the president a question of whether he'd be willing to meet with Reza Pahlavi.
And here's what the president had to say.
Go ahead, Rob.
It happened.
Would you meet with Crown Prince Padlai, who is the heir to the constitutional monarchy?
He doesn't want to rule.
He would be a symbolic ruler like King Charles.
Well, I've watched him, and he seems like a nice person, but I'm not sure that it would be appropriate at this point to do that as president.
I think that we should let everybody go out there and we see who emerges.
I'm not sure necessarily that it would be an appropriate thing to do.
Okay, so he doesn't want to meet with them.
Now, last week, in a Wall Street Journal interview, Reza Pahlavi said that we need no help from the U.S.
The Iranians are going to be able to pull this off by themselves.
And I said, if that's the case, your father didn't go and become a king without any intervention.
He needed help.
You know that.
The world knows that, that people got involved to get him in there because they wanted Mossadegh out.
So that's a famous line at the Wall Street Journal, which a lot of Iranians were furious with.
We don't need a single boot of your military on the ground in Iran.
Got criticized hardcore by his own people.
He flips.
Now, in every tweet he posts, Trump is in the tweet.
Rob, if you can go to one of Reza Palavi's tweets where he says, I am grateful that the president, I send you that tweet as well, Rob.
But if you just want to go to his account, you'll see it.
Yeah, if you just go to his account, go a little bit lower, not this one.
It is, no, not that one.
This is, okay, go to, that's a response, which we'll get to here in a minute.
Go a little bit lower.
Right there, Rob.
If you can click on that one, show more, the one above it.
Okay, you can use that one as well.
It says, I want to thank the leader of the free world, President Trump, for reiterating to his promise to hold the regime to account.
So, Reza, what does that mean?
Do you want intervention or you do not want intervention?
So, now you're flip-flopping.
And by the way, I want you to know: you know, if you're going to pull it off, pull it off.
It is time for others, including European leaders, to follow his lead and break their silence and act more decisively in support of the people.
Now, the one thing that we do know is that Nyahu's met with RP many times.
They had a picture.
So, Israel definitely is supportive of Reza Pahlavi.
But if you go in a previous tweet, Rob, he says another thing about Trump.
Go above it.
Go above it right there.
Click on that one, show more.
I appreciate President Trump as a leader once again for emphasizing the necessity.
Now is the time for others.
Go back up to the recent tweet that he just had up.
He just had a recent tweet that came up like 23 minutes ago.
That's the one right there.
Mr. President, this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support, and action.
Last night you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets facing down live bullets.
Today, they are faithful.
Rob, can you please zoom in a little bit?
My eyes are like 47 years old.
Today they are facing not just bullets, but a total communication blackout.
No internet, no landlines.
Khamenei, fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and will help your powerful promise to support protesters, has threatened the people of the streets with a brutal crackdown.
And he wants to use his blackout to murder these young heroes.
I've called the people to the streets to fight for their freedom and to overwhelm the scrutiny security forces with sheer numbers.
Last night they did that.
Your threat to this criminal regime also kept the regime thugs at bay by time is of time is of the essence.
The people will be on the streets again in an hour.
I'm asking you to help.
You have proven, and I know you are a man of peace and a man of war.
Please be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran.
Make up your mind.
I know that's fair.
Okay, let me just finish this up.
Make up your mind.
So, do you want intervention or not?
Now, let me give you the other problem you're facing.
And by the way, some of the people online that are like, well, Pat supports MEK.
Let me just say this flat out.
I had a call yesterday with a higher-ups about MEK.
This is what I learned about MEK to all the people that are talking about MEK, MEK, MEK.
So MEK is MEK is somebody that was previously pro-Khome Khomeini, and then they went and helped Saddam Hussein.
It's like Marxism meets, you know, jihadist, you know, Islamists combined together.
They're like, I don't even know if I would say AOC meets Mamdani, of what they're doing.
I don't even think she's good for Iran at all.
But that's the name that's somebody that's out there.
Let me tell you what I'm looking for for some of the people that are wondering if I'm paid by MEK.
One minute, so funny, I saw two tweets.
One tweet said I'm paid by Qatar.
The other tweet said I'm paid by MEK.
And six months ago, they said I got paid by Israel.
So who the hell am I getting paid by?
Right?
I'm not, you know, we're not taking money from anybody.
But this is the reality to the Iranian people and specifically to Reza Palavi.
Very important for you.
Very, very important to pay attention to this.
I contacted Kalshi this morning.
Rob, can you pull up the Kalshi numbers on who Kalshi sees as the next leader for Iran?
Okay, so can you zoom in, please?
Next leaders for Iran, if you go a little bit lower with the list of names and click more, they have Mojitabo Khomeini at 25%, which means it's going to be another Khamenei.
Then they have Golson Hossein Mohseni, 23%.
Then I have Hassan Khomeini, 19%.
Who do you not see on there?
You do not see Reza Pahlavi on there.
So I contacted Kalshi and I said, we need to add Reza Palavi to this list.
And Iranians, for those of you guys that are in America, this is what the world is looking at.
Nowadays, decisions are being made by Kalshi.
Okay, for you guys to go out there and sit there and say, wait a minute, how come he's not on there?
By the way, Nargis is not even on this list.
But Reza Palavi's not on this list.
So the people that are betting are saying we don't believe it's going to be him.
But I do believe he has a shot.
Here's the screw-up.
I would have gladly have said this privately, but he's forcing me to say all this stuff publicly to him.
And all the Iranians, I cannot believe, you know, Shoman Nebid and Shiach Mizani and all this other stuff.
Listen, we want to see this happen, okay?
We would like to see this happen.
I wish he had competition.
There literally is no competition in Iran that's going up against RP.
I wish there was.
This is why he's so soft.
He needs competition.
He needs somebody to poke him.
He needs somebody to disrupt him.
He needs somebody to wake his ass up.
And I'm willing to play that card because there's no other candidate.
Not Nargis, not any of these other guys.
That would be good for the Iranian people.
But Reza Palavi, pay very close attention.
And I'm going to give you a case study of somebody to watch.
Venezuela, Maduro was taken.
When he was taken, everybody thought it was going to be Maria Corina Mucharo.
What did he do?
He says no.
He put Maduro's VP in there reporting to Marco Rubio.
Marco Rubio is more about intervening.
JD Vance is not.
Watch what Maria Corina Muchado did.
Pay very close attention because you suck at diplomacy, Reza Pallavi.
You absolutely suck at diplomacy.
Somebody give you this message, and I'll be the guy that's pushing Iran a little bit.
And I can be the enemy.
Gladly I'm comfortable with it.
It doesn't bother me.
All these messages and videos you guys make, you're comical to me because you're so worried about, God forbid, somebody says something to this man that is going to be a little bit too sensitive.
You don't talk to him this way.
I will gladly talk this way.
And you can say whatever you want to say.
Nothing is going to happen here.
I'm going to be comfortable giving this message.
Maria Corina Machado.
The worst thing that happened to her to be the leader of Venezuela was when she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The day she won it, she knew, look how wise she is.
She knew if I have to exchange this Nobel Peace Prize to help Venezuela be free, screw this Nobel Peace Prize.
I want Venezuela to be free.
And you know what she just said?
She says, I want to fly out to go meet with the president to hand him over the Nobel Peace Prize.
And then the president has asked this question.
Is this the one rap?
Is this the short segment?
Because I don't want to go through the whole seven-minute one.
Sean Hannani asked the question and says, She offered to give you the Nobel Peace Prize.
What would you do about it?
If you can play this code, please go forward.
Let me ask you about Maria Corina Machado.
I've had her on TV this week.
Yeah, she's a very nice person.
Okay, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
When she accepted that peace prize, she dedicated it to you.
She said to me this week, both on TV and radio that she wants to give the Nobel Prize, her Nobel Peace Prize to her.
The people matter more to her.
To liberating her than her ego.
In 2023, she won over 92% of the vote to be the leader of the opposition.
Maduro kept her off the ballot.
Do you have any plans to meet with her?
And would you accept the Nobel Prize she wants to hand to you?
Well, I understand she's coming in next week sometime.
And I look forward to saying hello to her.
And I've heard that she wants to do that.
That would be a great honor.
I did put out eight wars, eight and a quarter, because you know, Thailand and Campbell started going at it again.
I'll put the list.
I give a quarter.
So it's right there.
You can pause it right there.
So remember, look at the diplomacy and the wisdom of Maria Karina Machado, who is like, why the hell would you give me the Nobel Peace Prize?
This man prevented eight wars.
You're giving it to me.
She's wise.
She says, I would much rather give it to you because she knows she's going to need his help.
I want to applaud you, Reza Pallavi.
You've been more diplomatic the last four or five days since I called you out on reaching out to the Trump's camp.
And apparently you've been trying to get a hold of their camp.
You're taking the right approach.
But just keep in mind how she played.
That is the best.
You are the luckiest man alive to have a case study right now of Venezuela taking place that is a very similar story to Iran.
Make sure whoever's in your ear, you're making the right next few moves.
You're going to need his help.
This nonsense article you did with Wall Street Journal, I hope nobody ever reads it again of we don't need anybody's help.
You've shifted because you're paying close attention.
But if you take this next move properly and you go to the man and you're respectful with him, he comes and helps you out, you have a standing chance.
I don't know what that role is going to be.
I'd like to see you be on Calci so other people can vote for it.
But according to the people that bet in Las Vegas, they don't believe you're winning.
Iranians, go on Kalshi on that.
Rob, can we put that link below for Kalshi because the world is seeing this kind of stuff to see who they're going to be rooting for in FYI?
Go to another report on Kalshi, Rob, the one that says which leaders are about to fall.
Watch this, folks.
This is to the Iranians.
This is very good for you to see.
Watch this one.
Zoom in a little bit, Rob, if you can.
Who dare you say is going to go leaders that are going to be out in 2027?
Can you put more, Rob, on the bottom so the names go lower?
Click more.
Rob Justin sent you an image.
Watch this.
Look who's all the way at the top.
Wow.
Khamenei is number one at 60% above everybody.
Kier Starmer, Miguel Diaz-Canel, Netanyahu, Zelensky, Orban.
He's above it all.
So Iranians around the world, if you're watching this, my priority is for you to be free.
I'd like to come back and visit first.
To the people that are in RP's ear, encourage him to pay very close attention to how wise of a decision Maria Karina Machado made.
She didn't play this ego thing.
We don't need Trump's help.
And he's making the moves.
If you don't, you're hurting your own people.
The Iranians need Trump.
You don't have a military to protect them.
Yes, they came out.
That's great.
But you're going to need Trump's help to be able to help you out with this next move that's taking place.
Respectfully.
What would what?
PBD, what kind of help are you talking about?
Listen, what kind of help is a following?
You threaten somebody right now and say, I swear to God, if you say anything, I'm going to hit you.
Okay?
You're right.
I wouldn't say that.
I wouldn't.
No, but hear me out.
I say there's two threats.
Whose threat do you think carries more weight?
Yours or John Jones?
I don't threaten people.
That's not the question, though.
The question is, whose threat carries more weight?
Yours or John Jones?
John Jones, I'm not sure.
No shit, right?
So John Jones has got more threats.
I don't think that that's a proper analogy.
But I think it's a proper analogy for the following reason.
And I'm telling you, I'm answering your question with a question.
To me, what I'm saying is with Iran is Reza Pallavi's threat mean nothing to Khamenei.
I'm sure that.
Nothing.
Khamenei looks at Reza Pallavi and laughs at him.
Khamenei looks at Reza Pallavi.
You're a little boy, you've never had a job in your life.
But Khamenei looks at Trump and says, that's not a guy I want to mess with.
Khamenei fears Trump.
He does not fear Reza Pallavi.
Anytime you're in this kind of a position, just like Maria Karina Machado, just like a Reza Pallavi, just like these guys, you have to sit there and say, I'm going to need some kind of leverage from somewhere.
Even if it's somebody that fears us, I can get things done for my people.
So you're talking to leverage.
You're not talking about, I'm talking about specific military action.
I'm talking about go attack and send troops over there.
No, not at all.
But just the thought of the person knowing.
Because when Trump threatens, and he did what he did to Khazam Soleimani, Trump's threats are not lightweight threats.
He has a reputation.
Sometimes when you build that reputation up as a person that when you say you're going to do something, you do it.
That's all you need.
Okay.
All right.
Just asking.
I will say that we have to be, you know, we.
I just think if you go back to the Shah of Iran and how he was pushed out, because Iran was getting at that time 16% of the oil profits in 1952 from the predecessor to British Petroleum.
And then when they said, well, we want more.
And then the Brits said no.
And they said, well, can we at least look at the books to see if we're getting 16%?
Then they said no.
And then they asked for a million dollars from Truman to the Brits to overthrow Mossadegh, because Mossadegh at that point nationalized the oil.
Then he went to Eisenhower and said, can we get, and then Eisenhower said, yes.
And then they sent a paid mob in front of the presidential palace.
And then they that didn't really work.
And then they sent two.
And then, you know, Mossadegh had to jump over the, they burned it down.
Mossadegh had to jump over the fence.
And then you had 26 years of the Shah of Iran.
And during that time, the secret police, you know, we can't, I mean, I would suggest that they not have that repeat of that because what it did was it set up, you know, a similar thing to happen where people were, if you could, where anybody who was the opposition.
I don't think you follow the past question, do you?
You don't.
You probably don't follow the Polish police.
I mean, I'm just talking about that.
So that's the history that I know about.
I'm not sure what I'm saying.
Right there is that you don't want a constitutional monarchy to return to Iran.
No, I'm saying that I don't want a secret police underneath the monarchy to return to Iran.
I'm not sure if Savak is what you're talking about.
Okay, so then that's under.
But here's what you have to do.
But I'm saying, look, I don't mind a monetary, you know, sorry, a monarchy that would support a constitutional republic of some sort.
Absolutely.
I don't want a return of SAVAC.
You're absolutely right.
And by the way, just so you know that, we here are not about returning to constitutional monarchy.
I'd like to see a republic.
I'd like to see democracy.
I'd like to see some like that.
But by the way, I'd see the Iranian people decide that.
For sure.
But also when you talk about SAVAC, you know what SAVAC is?
It's a secret police.
So SAVAK is MI6.
SAVAC is CIA.
SAVAC is Mossad.
But the part about SAVAK that you have to think about is the way you look at SAVAC is what Iranians and the Middle East and the world thinks about CIA.
Sure.
No, they're not wrong.
Yeah, so to us, like, you know, we have, in our CIA, when we go look at the history of ours with economic hitman, we would go to other countries who had resources and say, hey, you're going to take this debt from us.
You're going to do business with us or else we're going to kill you.
These are documented meetings that we had with world leaders in the past.
And so that's SAVAK.
I know it's always very important.
It radicalized people, and it set up the situation for Khomeini.
So I'm saying, let's not do a repeat of that.
The Iranian people, let them decide.
What happened with Reza Pallavi at the end is he got soft at the end because he allowed the 3,000 political prisoners when Jimmy Carter's like, release them all.
That ended up being Hezbollahs, that ended up being the ISIS, that ended up being all those guys.
We were talking about the 20, respectfully.
PBD, if I can call you that.
No, respectfully, I think the 26 years of Really, not allowing any political opposition to his reign created that kind of tension and that kind of argument.
And that's what I'm saying.
I'm not afraid of the same for that.
And I think at the end of the day, I mean, you're a rational person who wants what's best for the Iranian people.
And that is to your credit.
And I think we all do.
But I think it's important to recognize in the past that just like what's happening now, we're recognizing, I think you're having not a revolution in this country.
You're having a counter-revolution to some of the lunacy policies that we've had, like opening up 10, you know, the border to millions of people just to simply.
But if I have to say this respectfully, if I have to choose Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi that was still there, and let's just say he never fell in 79 and SAVAC was still SAVAC.
Let's say SAVAC is still around till today.
If I have to choose what Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi did with SAVAC and then later on say his son right now would be the king of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, who he's not, versus what Khomeini Khomeini IRGC did to the world in the Middle East, 100 out of 100 times, I choose Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi and following his son, Reza Pahlavi.
Not 80 out of 100 times, 100 out of 100 times.
And by the way, just so you know, if Mohamed Reza Shah Palavi was still, he's obviously he died, he had health issues, but say his son follows his leader and is close to his dad, 9-11 never happens.
So 9-11 doesn't happen.
Those 3,600 people that were working in the World Trade Center, they're still around.
They're still going to their families.
They're still going and spending time with their kids.
They're still seeing their parents.
They're still able to enjoy the American dream.
They're still able to do that.
That was due to the fall of the Iranian revolution.
Mohamed Reza Shah Pallavi, as much shit as everybody from the left, right, and center gives him, he kept the Middle East safe.
There was no to little wars in the Middle East when he was the king of Iran.
Now, you can call it SAVAC, you can call it this, you can call it that.
And by the way, even him in interviews said that SAVAC used to do certain things.
Even him with Mike Wallace said, we used to torture, but not anymore.
He said that in an interview, so you're right, they did some of those things.
Well, I mean, if we just look at the interventionist policies of the United States, one of the consistent things that happens, PBD, is that we seem to replace secular leaders and they get replaced with this Muslim extremist.
Well, extremists, I'm just saying Muslim, you know, Islamists who actually follow what the Quran says.
I mean, there's no such thing as moderate Islam that doesn't exist.
But I'm saying, so that, but this, that's why I don't think I know Venezuela will not be the same.
Because if you take a look at the other presidents of intervention, Panama and Grenada, Grenada every year has like a holiday for commemorating the invasion of Grenada and Panama.
So I think that you're going to have a very similar situation.
And I think we have to be careful that for Mexico, that's leaning socialistic.
And I think what has made Mexico, which is such an incredible country with such amazing people, lovely people, is that they've been imprisoned and tortured by, you know, for, I mean, they'll lose 50,000 in less than a decade in Mexico.
The cartels, you know, it would, they have to eventually go.
And I don't know how that is done, but it certainly would make Mexico, you know, for the people, that would be, it would get them out of the prison that is made from those cartels.
Adam.
Well, let me stay on Iran for a second.
So this is what happens when you go full Islamic.
You know, the famous line from the movie Tropic Thunder, like, never go full retard.
Iran went full Islamic.
And we're seeing other case examples of when you go full Islamic, whether it's ISIS, whether it's Al-Qaeda, whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's Hamas, whether it's Boko Haram, you go full Islamic.
This is what happens to your society.
Speaking of going full Islamic and going full retard, do you see what's going on with your friend Tucker Carlson these days?
Who is the Islamic regime Ayatollah playing to use as propaganda in Iran?
None other than Tucker Katarlson.
Do you have this clip, Rob?
This is what the Shah, this is what Ayatollah of Iran is playing to indoctrinate his own people to galvanize them to not overthrow his regime.
Go ahead.
Stop going, stop going, Armin.
So the Islamic regime right now is literally broadcasting Tucker Carlson interviews in Persian on their 24-hour news channel.
The country is in a state of chaos, and yet for some reason, the Islamic regime is choosing to play Tucker Carlson interviews because this is like, you know, it's Islamist propaganda.
I'm just filming this right now because if I didn't do this, no one would believe.
This is literally what's going on in occupied Iran right now.
I listened to that conversation that he had.
Did you listen to what she just said?
I did.
I did.
So why is the Ayatollah of Iran playing pro-Iranian?
Obviously, it's pro-their regime.
Well, do you guys know who I am?
Why would Tucker Carlson defend the Ayatollah regime?
I'm not saying that.
I don't.
Well, I'm not coming at you.
No, no, no, no, you're his friend.
Explain that to me.
That's an unfair straw man question.
Why is he not?
He's not defending the Iranian regime.
No, no, no, no.
They could play Tucker.
You're making the argument and you're answering it with your pejorative line of questioning.
First of all, he has allowed Tucker Carlson, we have to have people interview other people.
Now, and he's interviewing this, you know, the president of Iran.
But that wasn't the president of Iran who he was interviewing.
Who was interviewing?
It was Larry Sanger.
He was interviewing some random guy.
But my point is that we need to hear some.
Yeah, he did not ask in his questions when he did that interview, which I listened to.
There were questions I wish he would have asked, and he didn't.
I wasn't there.
I don't know.
I know that.
We have to have.
Why had Ayatollah even thinking about considering playing that?
Tucker Qatarlson propaganda.
To me, these are the questions that need to be.
Well, these are obviously how desperate the situation is in Iran right now that they got.
What do we got?
We got Tucker.
He's saying he's not an idiot we could use, Tucker Carlson.
Well, I would say in that situation, yeah, they feel like that conversation buttresses their support for the regime.
It's not going to make a difference.
I was just thinking, you guys know who Amid Malik is.
He's the Iranian, Iranian mother, Pakistani father, who invested the 15 million for Tucker to start TCN.
That's number one, which is just to give me a little bit of backstory, history.
But then, Rob, I'm just curious.
Did you hear when Tucker was like, they asked him, so you're buying property in Qatar?
And he goes, yeah, because I'm an American.
Americans do.
And it's like, dude, it has nothing to do with it.
And it just feels, by the way, because he was, if I'm not mistaken, he was interviewing the co-see, the founder of Wikipedia, because they were talking about, you know, the West and how the West talks about this and that, which, I mean, there is a reason that they're playing him.
But Tucker and friends and all that aside, the shift of Tucker Carlson from going like, get it, criticize America.
Fine.
I criticize America, especially during 9-11 and George Bush.
Revisited that 20 times, but you cannot deny the shift in, you know, buying land in Qatar, them playing you, which, I mean, of anything.
By the way, internet's down, certainly blackout.
Why are they playing you, Rob?
Why aren't they playing Deuce Bigelow?
They're not saying Deuce Bigelow.
They're playing Tucker Carlson talking crap about the United States.
It certainly doesn't look like it.
Because he went full retard.
No, it certainly doesn't look like it.
Why do you feel the need to defend Tucker?
Because he's not here.
He's not here.
And also, I think that one of the great strengths that we have and what you guys have, what you have here, is whether you like it or not, is to hear opposing views.
And it may be views you don't like.
I'm going to give something that's going to be very weird.
And I got to tell you, like, I don't agree with it.
But at the same time, to just attack somebody, you've got to take a look at the totality.
And yeah, I think that there is some potential corruption in the fact that there's not questions asked that I would have asked, but I'm not that guy.
Corruption and who?
Well, I'm saying that the interview seemed to have a corruption.
I mean, there was some corruption as far as I just think, you know, journalistically, but that's my point.
We're on the same page.
Tucker Carlson has been cruel.
No, I'm saying that interview, I think, could have been, you know, but I'm not an interviewer.
I don't do that.
So I would say, like, you know, what you do is you can put information out there.
Let people look at this a big deal, Adam.
Why is this a big deal that they're playing Tucker?
So, because originally, what would have made it a big deal if he was inter if they're showing what clip?
If they're showing what clip of Tucker.
What would have made it a, what, what clip would I have said?
Why are they showing this clip?
An interview with who?
With the president of Iran.
It was an interview with Wikipedia guy.
Yeah.
So they're trying to rewrite his history.
I don't know, but all I'm saying is, like, who cares if they're showing the clip?
Like, you think they're using it to show what?
Hey, Tucker's on our side?
I'm asking Adam, what do you think is a...
I'm saying, so the fact that they're saying, hey guys, so let's back up a second, if you may.
This regime is about to collapse, in my opinion.
Okay, sure.
On Kalshi, who's the number one person on the list that's most likely to be top of the city.
Coming in one of the signs.
So he's clinging for life.
Yes.
So what does a desperate animal do when he's clinging to life?
He's going to fight back.
So he's going to use whatever weapons at his disposal to fight.
He's killing his own people.
More people have been killed by the Iranian regime.
That's not what I'm asking.
This year.
So when you're desperate, you do stupid things.
So he brings out this useful idiot, Tucker, to say, hey, guys, we're actually good people.
Listen to what this American journalist has to say.
But what they talk about, what I'm trying to say is, what did he say?
They showed a Larry Sanger clip.
It's not Larry Free.
He's defending the regime.
It's not kayak.
Do you think Khomeini defending the regime out of sense?
Do you think that they would play a clip of him dismantling the regime?
Can I ask you a question?
No question.
Do you think they're using a clip of him defending the regime, saying, listen, guys, that makes sense.
Even Tucker Carlson.
You're not making sense.
You're not making sense.
Respectfully, I think I'm making complete sense.
You only made one valid point.
Khomeini doesn't know how to use the internet.
He's not doing it.
His people, obviously.
Exactly.
Somebody's doing that.
But let me just, I just want to correct somebody.
I said, I didn't say that.
I don't mean to say that I think that Tucker is corrupt.
I'm saying that there's something wrong in that conversation that he had because I think that that is, he's missed out on an opportunity to question.
When you miss out on opportunity, an opportunity, opportunity.
Here's what I would say.
At some point, you say, maybe you're compromised.
Adam, here's what I would say.
Do I think his positions changed a little bit while he's saying, I've never met anybody bad that's from Pakistan.
They've been very good.
I've never met anybody.
I've never met it.
It's a little weird on his positioning with the video and the messaging from five years ago, 10 years ago, to where he's at today.
Okay, I'll give you that.
A little weird on what's going on.
There's other examples, but going on.
Many examples to go through, plethora of examples to go through.
He forgot the internet exists.
I'm not even talking to Israel.
I haven't brought up Israel once.
The argument against Israel, call it out, control, all of that stuff.
I'm comfortable.
I'm talking about how that I'm talking about Iran and the Middle East.
Yeah.
I look at this clip.
I do think he made the president of Iran seem like a nice guy.
Sweetheart.
I do think he made it.
I would have interviewed him in a very different way.
What I'm specifically isolating is this singular video that people are reacting to to say what happened.
Do you know yesterday, who was the Ana Paulina Luna we had on the podcast?
Do you know what clip was going viral yesterday?
Let me show you what clip was going viral yesterday.
Ana Paulina Luna.
My phone is blowing up.
Did you hear?
Is this true that Ana Paulina Luna said on your podcast that Erica Kirk lost her kids?
Did you guys see this clip?
By the way, tens of millions of views.
So watch this clip.
Go ahead, Rob.
I don't think that she at all had any connection to that.
When I see that, it's like you're already victimizing the victim, if that makes sense.
Because at the end of the day, she did lose her husband.
She lost her kids.
Like, I was just with her at the White House, and she's lost her kids.
That's right.
Anyone.
She misspoke.
No, she misspoke.
She meant she lost her kids' husband.
Of course, I know she misspoke.
What I'm trying to tell you is the internet goes and takes this and says, Erica Kirk lost her kids.
I know what's going on.
That's what moron.
So the point I'm going to is: I'm isolating this clip.
If Iran was going to use the TV that they control to show a clip, they should have shown Pazeshkian's clip.
Not Larry Sam.
Well, how do we know that they haven't shown that as well?
That girl who showed it would have also shown that other clip.
If they did show, like, for instance, if today somebody shows a clip and says, here's Iran showing a clip of Tucker with the president of Iran.
Now I will say Tucker is helping out Iran.
But this clip, I don't see point of this.
Let me ask you a point.
Can I ask you a question?
No, can I just jump in?
Let me ask that.
Why would they show anything of Tucker?
So what is it?
If all of a sudden, they show a clip of PBD podcast in Russia.
What does that mean?
Exactly.
If all of a sudden they show a clip of us in Israel, what does that mean?
So imagine somebody comes up.
You know, the Israeli TV is showing PBD pod.
We always knew they were bot.
Pump the brakes, guys.
Can I give you one counter-argument and then you can go to the other one?
No, Can I get one, Rob Schneider?
No, Adam.
Can I give one?
I'm going to jump in.
I'll come back.
I'm a guest.
I'm a guest.
So let me speak.
You are the guest.
So let me speak, okay?
I know, because what you have is you've already made your conclusions and you're not listening to any evidence.
And that's ignorance.
You haven't got anything.
No, that is absolutely ignorant.
There's a shred of evidence other than you're friends with Tucker.
I am friends with Tucker, but I'm also, that has nothing to do with it.
I'm also a logical, rational person.
And you are not being logical and rational.
You wouldn't make the straw man argument.
The thought is simply this, Adam.
You have to look at the totality of what somebody's contribution as a journalist.
And yes, I would have asked different questions.
And PBD, you absolutely would have been able to ask more pertinent questions that I think would have been helpful in that conversation.
And I was disappointed.
But you have to look at the totality, the totality of Tucker Carlson, that he has made, I would say, the United States and the world a freer place because of his journalism.
Is it perfect?
Is anybody's perfect?
And I think like in that particular situation, it wasn't.
And I would say corrupt in the sense of as if something was underneath of it that wasn't as good as it could be.
Just like a corrupt, you know, if you're making a building and then the beams aren't right.
There's something wrong in that conversation.
Well, whatever.
The totality of Tucker Carlson is undeniably that he's made journalism a better place.
Is it perfect?
No.
But is it proof that he's being used by somebody on the team Of the ignorant team of Khomeini's internet group?
Is that proof of anything?
Absolutely not.
I will say that.
So I want to go to the next story.
The problem is, you just walked into my trap.
Oh, here it comes.
Because here it is.
Who did you just call out in an amazing, incredible way at Turning Point USA?
What was her name?
Candace Owens.
Now, the totality of her contribution to society has been incredible.
I don't think so.
However, in the last year or two, she's been a destructive force.
And that's exactly what Tucker Carlson has done.
I'm not talking about what he said during 9-11.
I'm not saying what he said during COVID.
I'm saying in the last year, Tucker Carlson, much like Candace, has taken a weird turn where you've become anti-American, anti-truth, and anti-normal American thoughts.
All right.
So those are the things that are going to call Candace, how do you not feel like calling out Tucker?
Because the last thing that they're doing the exact same thing.
Show me the difference between Tucker and Candace.
The last four accusations that you made in a row after making a decent argument about saying that it's shifted.
Yes, there are shifts is happening, but you can't jump to a conclusion that he's anti-American.
I think what you have.
I didn't say that he's anti-American.
You did.
You just said, let's go back and listen to it.
I'm saying it.
You just said Andy Carlos.
The reason I said it is.
I bought a house in Qatar because I'm American.
If you want to be pro-American, go buy a house in Detroit.
Go buy a house in it.
That's a silly argument.
That's a silly argument.
Are we saying that Tucker Carlson hasn't making a drastic turn over the last 12 months?
Where average people are like, what?
But wait a minute.
I say he has.
Okay, that's my point.
That is my point.
But these are, okay.
We can say, yes, he has.
There are concerns.
Why is he defending Islam, Muslims, and the Middle East as hardcore as he is?
Validation.
That's a valid question.
That's my question.
But the other part here, we have to be very careful.
If all of a sudden somebody plays a clip in Russia, in Israel, in Iran, in any of the countries that are enemies, and they show a clip of you, what are they going to say?
Are they going to say, wait a minute, we always knew.
No, no, no.
Pump the brakes.
I'll just say if they show it of you, Adam, I'm going to go yes.
Anna Polina, we all said, guys, I was taken out of context.
We all defended her without even knowing.
We're not normal people.
Nobody in the world should defend Tucker because he's done a hundred times.
All right, let's go to the next story.
Let's go to the next story.
Let's go to the next story.
Don't agree.
Let's go to the next story.
Tom, what story do you want me to go to that you have a lot of stuff on?
Do you want me to go to California to fire?
Is that what you want to do?
Let's go to that.
Let's go to LA Mayor Bass, brush us off Palisades fire protests, claims locals are profiting.
And Rob, I think you got a clip on this one as well.
So if we go to this, page nine.
How did she not get recalled by now?
I mean, how does that not happen?
Let me have her explain it to you.
Go ahead, Rob.
One year after the fires, are you surprised that so much of that anger is directed at you?
A little, but again, I do understand the anger.
If they need to focus them on me, you know, whatever, whatever it takes them to heal and get through this.
I don't take it personally.
Do you think a reason for that anger is misinformation and people are looking for someone to blame?
Well, I do have to tell you that there's a part of it, and this is the part that troubles me the most, is that there are people who have preyed upon people's grief, who are financially benefiting from people's grief.
And to deliberately put out misinformation like nobody's rebuilding, permits aren't being given, there are challenges, absolutely.
But there is progress being made.
There's a rally being held tomorrow called They Let Us Burn.
Is that how people should be commemorating this one-year anniversary?
Well, I don't think so.
Again, I think that there are people that are profiting off of this.
And that is what I find very despicable.
Intentionally putting out misinformation, intentionally profiting from social media, book deals, et cetera.
And I think that that's unfortunate.
To me, I hope that it's about healing and moving forward and getting this community back.
Every single Palisadian that wants to come back, that should be the focus.
You have people who continue to tell me every single time I'm here, this should have never happened.
Should this have ever happened?
Of course, it should have never happened, but I do think that's something that we're all coming to grips with in our world, but certainly within our city.
Weather events that we would have never thought would have taken place.
Yeah, she was on the stage.
It's the weather's fault.
Yeah, okay.
You can positive arguments, James.
Tom thought.
She is Rob, I'll come to you.
So this is what's despicable is that Karen Bass is trying to politically profit from spin.
She's turning it into, we need to heal and move forward.
That means your point doesn't matter.
We need to heal and move forward.
Don't look over here.
Well, I'll tell you what not to look at.
The fire chief and the mayor, she laid off the fire chief.
She censored the fire chief.
Then the fire chief left.
Now they're in court, and that fire chief is probably going to win.
The last two articles I saw, Pat, is the fire chief, the legal analysts that were out there in the liberal media were saying, if this goes to court, Karen Bass and people are going to have to turn over all kinds of text records, everything that was going on on this, including the report that Kristen Cowley said that she had published about readiness.
So I think it's despicable that Karen Bass stands there and talks about healing and moving forward.
How about accelerated permitting?
How about intervening with some of the insurance claims?
How about supporting what's going on there to help people who had homes and were paying taxes, property tax, that part of LA get their house back without being interfered?
How about pushing back on the Coastal Commission in Malibu that is not allowing people to build certain things because the Greens don't want the houses to be back there at all?
And so are using the Coastal Commission to say, oh, we're just going to have the beautiful ocean.
All these rich celebrities and other people, they don't get their homes back, but we get our coastline back.
Karen Bass is trying to profit politically by spinning this into being everything that it's not.
And meanwhile, the taxpayers of the city of LA are going to write a check to Kristen Crowley because Karen Bass does not want that court case to go.
That's my opinion.
That's what legal analysts are saying, is that they're going to write that ex-fire chief a check because it was mishandled and they besmirched her reputation.
And for her to stand there like that, when I saw that, at first thing I thought it was like a staged interview.
Oh, here we go.
She's going to stand there and get softballs from the reporter.
But the reporter, you know, God bless him, tried to push it.
And she just, look at the direction she spun it.
There was no accountability, no leadership.
As an ex-resident of LA, this disgusts me because there's people I know.
We know a guy named John that we were friendly with that had a place in Palisades that is up there, a great guy, part of a large business mentor organization.
He's not, everybody has talked about these things.
These were good citizens that are being screwed, and she's not taking leadership to stand up.
John lived in Palisades?
John M?
Yes, sir.
Wow, I didn't know that.
They're down.
They're down.
They're down North San Diego's daughter's.
Rob, what do you think about this?
Well, one of my friends who still writes for The Simpsons, he lost his house, and it's devastating.
And you have when you see Karen Bass and you hear her talk, it almost reminds me of something like that Iraqi spokesman during Saddam Hussein.
Remember him?
What was his name?
Iraqi Pete or something?
Iraqi.
What was his name?
Good name.
Iraqi Bob.
And it just, you don't believe a thing that they said.
No, we will be the biggest.
We will conquer the Americans any day.
Nothing will burn the great Satan to the ground.
But what is it about the Democrats in Los Angeles and California in general that have this Hitler in the bunker mentality where they'll go down with the ship?
You know, they just how does this person I remember the city council kicking out somebody in the town that I grew up in for trying to raise taxes for 10 bucks.
This is somebody that had all their houses burned down in this city of Palisades.
And how do you not get rid of the mayor?
At what point?
I remember I said years ago, it was a Jamie Lisso joke, which is like the, you know, Californians would vote for a bowl of shit if it had a D next to it.
Yep.
It's like there's just, they're just, it's a group mentality.
It's, it's a, that is, you know, they just paint the other side as so evil that they'll stick with somebody who destroyed their community.
And don't step out of line, otherwise they'll come after you.
Yeah, it's it's something out of the Khmer Rouge.
I mean, it really is.
To hear her, you really hear a communist, and she is.
You really hear this communist group think that they never take any personal responsibility for anything.
The fact that she was not there, that she was in Africa at a wedding, to be cool, knowing that the wins were coming.
And I just don't see California climbing out of this because I think they have that bunker mentality.
And if you give enough stuff away to people and you give them enough free stuff, they'll keep voting for the Democrats.
And that's the plan the whole time.
And it's not going to change, I don't think, in our lifetime.
I don't see it change.
And I want it to.
Let me go to the next story.
Gavin Newsom confronts $18 billion budget disaster he helped create.
This is a New York Post story.
After years of surplus, the Golden State is facing staggering deficits that could be ballooned up to $35 billion in coming years, according to the state's legislative, after years-long spending spree.
Newsom, who's expected to launch the 2028 presidential, unveils his plan to stanch the bleeding in a major speech Thursday in it.
He'll posture as presidential while aiming to reassure cash-scrapped Californians that he's leaving the state in tip-top shape in his final year in office.
Critics doubt it will be enough.
Governor Newsome's speech will highlight a lot of claimed wins, but Californians see the lack of results every day, said Senator Republican leader Brian Jones of San Diego in a statement.
Year after year, he is policies have pushed opportunity out of the state while driving the cost of living to ever new heights for working families.
Only about four years ago, California had flush with cash, was flush with cash with a jaw-dropping surplus of $100 billion thanks to a rock rockling stock market and COVID-era cash infusions from the federal government.
Since then, revenues driven by capital gains taxes on rich shrunk as the economy took a nosedive.
Tom, your thoughts?
I'll tell you, so you're destined to take these last two stories and just get my blood pressure up to the temperature in Death Valley.
But I'll tell you what's going on with Gavin Newsom.
Gavin Newsom wants to stay relevant, wants to stay in the headlines, and wants to keep acting presidential and appearing presidential.
But you know what?
You need?
You need a platform and a record.
And the record here is pretty gruesome.
The numbers are coming out, and people are starting to wake up.
And you're seeing folks start to pre-cover stories.
This story could have been re-headlined.
Can you believe what this guy is going to say tomorrow?
And this is not coming from hard conservative sources.
His speech is going to highlight claimed wins.
We did this, we did this, we did this.
So he's going to put the spin on the wins.
And I hope people look underneath and see what's really going on there.
And he is, along with RoConna, saying, oh, no, no, no, it's the service union that is bringing the ballot initiative for the billionaire tax.
Baloney, they're doing it, but you got your fingerprints on it.
And this is Gavin Newsom.
He's going to come out, try to look presidential, take credit for things.
But I hope the people of California look to the numbers and you don't have to look deeply and ask yourself a question.
Is this what you want?
Because you have an opportunity to elect a new governor, but the rest of America needs to wake up and understand that if this guy can't run the sixth largest country in the world, then how the hell is he going to run the largest country in the world?
Apparently, it's the fifth now, Adam.
Yeah, well, I don't care about California at all.
I've made that very clear, but I do love the United States of America and I care about the United States of America.
In my opinion, and I don't mean this literally, burn it down and start over in California because there's nothing good coming out of California.
You lived in California 20 years.
You were there for a decade.
You were there for over a decade.
You spent a lot of time there.
I don't care about California.
I literally don't think that any California Democrat should ever see the White House.
That could be Judgment Day for America, much like Karen Basswood's Judgment Day for the Pacific Palisades in California.
To me, elections have consequences.
I don't care what happens in California.
Burn it down and start over.
Not literally, but I'll be damned if I ever see someone like Gavin Newsom in the White House.
Hell.
But the scariest part about Adam, what you're saying is on Cal Shi, who's number one, Robert?
Who's number one?
I'm sorry, I mean, gee.
By a mile.
By a mile.
So what?
Democratic.
And this is where, bro, I'm talking about this is three years from an election.
Just like Scott Walker was number one.
Or Jeff Bush was number one.
Hold on one second.
Literally, whoever's number one never finishes number one.
Okay, but let me ask you a question.
But I hear who do you think, because real quick, because I want to get to where you're talking about, because you're talking about Adam Evil and Biblical, which I love that you went there because it could be the end.
Gavin Newsom's at 35%.
Who else?
Who else?
Even like a late blooming, who's going to challenge him?
We'll see.
He's the guy with the hair.
He's the guy with the super primary.
The fat guy from Illinois.
Oh, yeah, you never know.
God help us.
And Rob, guys, Trump was at 1% by the time there were primaries.
And then he took down everybody one by one by one.
I think America is smarter than falling for Gavin.
But it's all Adam tricks.
Adam, really?
They fell for Russia collusion.
They fell for Biden.
Biden was in charge.
They fell for a comment.
Give me, like, I'm telling you right now, but this is what when I talk about, bro, the opposite of what we are.
There is light and then there is dark.
This party has been captured by darkness.
And if you can't see, I'm not saying you.
I'm saying the people in general.
I have family members.
I have people that are, they're just so far gone.
And Rob made a great point.
They can't, it's going down with the sinking ship because you know what they don't want to say?
You guys were right.
We're wrong.
They have lost the plot.
It's complete evil.
Can I just jump in for one second?
If you take a look at historically, the last time there were three non-consecutive administrations, you're going to go Nixon, Ford, Carter.
And then you had two Reagan's and one Bush.
I think what you have now, since we have a Trump, Biden, Trump, if you look at historically, odds seem to be patterns that happen.
And I think you're going to have that one Trump and then two Vances or whoever wins that.
Or Ruby, I mean, they'll be great.
And I think that whoever runs is going to be a sacrificial lamb of the Democratic Party.
I'm hopeful because I just don't see it happening in any way, shape, or form.
I think.
But you have to care about California for no other reason than this.
The electoral college votes.
I mean, it is unbelievable.
What do you mean?
Do you think that's ever going to go red?
No, but that's why I think at a certain, you know, I think that's why you need to be concerned about it because you know how tough it is?
You guys know how tough it is for a Republican to win?
He's got to like, it was a minor miracle.
I think it was the hand of God that helped, you know, every swing state and everything.
And we just happened to have, we had Charlie Kirk helping with kids.
God rest his soul.
22.5% jump with young voters.
That's amazing.
We got Hispanics.
We got Hispanic men, black men.
You know, we're never going to, white women, we're never going to get.
But we did get a resounding victory, which is great.
And we have to continue this because I do think it is a threat against Western civilization.
And I think whether the Democrats realize it or not, I think that they are unfortunately playing into the hands of socialism.
And they make the mistake of thinking that they want a one-world government.
And they make the mistake of thinking they're going to be in charge of it.
It's not.
It's going to be China.
We're going to be some weird, small, slightly freer social credit system, in my opinion.
Well, I don't not care about the people of California.
I love the people of California.
I have friends in California.
I'm saying the state legislator and whatever's happening.
I have no love for.
You know, they say if there's going to be a plane crash, put your mask on first, then the person next to you.
To me, California is so far gone that the last thing I'm interested is putting a face mask on the people in California.
Good luck.
You guys figure it out.
You vote for this.
Keep doubling down on me.
Best of luck.
Can I ask about the mask?
Everybody says, put your mask on first.
Oxygen.
How often does the oxygen mask come down a plane?
Have you ever been on a plane?
Have you ever flown private with us?
Have you ever been on an oxygen mask come down?
Seriously?
No, thank God.
Okay, but let me tell you that.
So what happens more often?
What happens more often than the oxygen mask happen?
There's turbulence, right?
You've been on a plane turbulence.
And if you have a baby, don't you tighten the baby's belt before your own?
So I always find that.
Why is their baby in a seatbelt?
No, I'm saying because the idea is before you help your child, help put your mask on first.
I would say that that's not a very valid thing, and everybody keeps using that.
And I would just say the real thing is that there's turbulence.
And if there's turbulence, you help your kid first unless you're a heathen.
So I'm just saying that's such a false.
Oh my God, of all the things Rob gets pissed off.
It's like, you know what?
I'm sick of time.
First, put your single on before your kid.
No, I'm just saying because I hear that so many times that I just can somebody poke a hole in it for once.
Maybe I just want to let you know if I was sitting next to you.
That's an argument.
On a plane, I'd put my mask on first.
Brilliant.
Then I'd help you.
Oh, my God.
That was a great argument.
Life-changing.
All this time.
Okay, so let's talk about some of these billionaires that are leaving.
Who's leaving?
I'm going to tell you, Larry Page, Google.
They're leaving.
They just bought two houses next to each other, Miami, Miami home.
$173.4 billion.
$1 million.
Two-bedroom.
Shared garage.
Let me read.
Shared garage.
And I'm coming to you, Tom.
So, by the way, that's the place that they picked up.
These guys, it's a nice little two-bedroom condo for $173 million.
It's a joke, by the way.
It's a joke, but they are leaving.
So billionaire makes strategic moves out of California ahead of proposed wealth taxes.
Now, this is something we talked to last week with Chamat and some of the other guys.
What is the wealth tax?
Flock tie ticks on California's billionaire facing a proposed wealth tax.
Some of America's top business leaders are making strategic moves to leave the Golden State.
Larry Page appears to be distancing himself from California as a public filing reviewed by Fox News Digital from the California Secretary of State office shows several business entities linked to Page were moved out of the state in December ahead of Jan 1st, 2026.
Residency, they tied to the proposed tax.
I'm sure you're going to get into that, Tom.
Oracle founder Larry Ellison has taken some steps that signal a potential pullback from California through details, though details of a reported $45 million off-market sale of his San Francisco home have not been independently confirmed by major outlets.
Tom, this 5% tax bill to billionaires starting January 1st, 2026, how much can you tell about it?
What's the latest on this?
So, well, let's first recap.
If you haven't been paying, if you haven't heard the podcast recently, the origin of it is SEIU, which is one of the largest, bluest service employee unions in the world.
Very big in California, very, very big in Nevada, where everybody that works for hotels is part of it.
This is the group that is putting the billionaire tax on as a ballot initiative.
Now, the politicians are supporting this because that way it's not on them.
Oh, it's a ballot initiative being brought by voters, voters just like you, workers.
So, point one, it's a ballot initiative being brought this way.
Point two, that ballot initiative isn't going to be voted till later this year, but everybody is trying to get out now.
Now, why are they getting out?
Because they believe it's going to pass.
Because, like, if no one knows anything about Proposition 13, which was a property tax initiative that goes back to the 70s.
78.
That 1978, thank you.
That has regulated property tax for the older people that never sold their home so that their property taxes don't go up.
So, ballot initiatives in California have teeth.
Larry Page and people are handicapping, Pat, the odds of this going down, and everybody believes that the ballot initiative is going to pass and pass big because California is so blue.
They've got the union behind it.
They need several hundred thousand votes to get it finished on the ballot.
SEIU is going to get is going to help it done.
And guess what Larry Page is doing?
These people say, oh, they're not really moving.
They're just buying homes in Florida and they're going to live 189 days in Florida.
Well, wait a minute.
Larry Page, I don't care about his $173 million property purchase in Miami.
A lot of people can do that, and they have second and third homes in Aspen and in Montana and places.
But he also moved COOP.
COOP is his family office.
Billions and billions of dollars.
He has moved the registration for COOP, K-O-O-P, to Florida, along with his flying car initiative.
And he has an influenza research company that he's moved.
So this doesn't look like a guy just buying a house in Miami, Pat.
This is a guy who believes this ballot initiative is going to pass, and he has pulled up stakes, and he is moved.
Well, it's not legal.
It's not constitutional.
You can't tax, I just don't think that'll hold up.
They tried to do that, a separate tax for people in Arizona making over $250,000 a year, and it did pass because who wouldn't vote for that if you're making under that?
So the Democrats, of course, will push that through.
And that was also funded $25 million by the teachers union.
And it did pass, but it got kicked out at the Supreme Court level.
So I just don't know.
Somebody has to look up the Constitution, the state Constitution, and see if you could tax people separately or unevenly.
So I just don't think that that's, but I wouldn't put it past that it'll pass, but I just don't know if it would hold muster.
But who would want to take the chance?
Well, the legal, thank you for bringing that up.
The legal procedure would be that you could contest it, but it's called concurrence.
In California, if it's a ballot initiative that is deemed to be constitutional by at least one judge, and this would be the Ninth Circus, and you know what that means, the Ninth Circuit, also known as the Ninth Circus.
And they say it appears to be constitutional to us.
It would get implemented and they could start collecting the tax.
And then everyone has to fight it.
And if they win it and overthrow it, then the state can appeal it.
Then you got to wait for the Supreme Court.
And then you got to ask yourself a question: if it all comes down, what are the odds that California gives you your money back?
So the billionaires are handicapping that and saying, my lawyer may tell me, well, you know, this doesn't have to happen.
But Pat, if your lawyer said, you know, option one, Pat, you can move to Florida, or option two, you're probably going to win, but it could take eight years.
It'll be really bloody, and you're going to have to pay the tax on day one.
You would look at it and go, wait a minute, maybe I just move and then let this thing play out.
That makes sense.
Who the hell is going to risk that?
Yeah.
Okay, look at this.
Will California Billionaire Tax Initiative pass?
49% of saying yes on Calci.
Wow.
49%.
Not just today.
Wait till the summer.
By the way, Tom Ads rev up.
Go to January 1st.
It went.
It was at like 10%.
It started going up on the sudden, boom, it got up to 49%.
So, Adam, you were going to say something.
Yeah.
If California doesn't want your billionaires, we'll take them here in Florida.
Come on down to Miami.
You know, Mayor Francis Huarez put his name on the map.
Shout out to him when Silicon Valley was asking what they could do.
He says, How can I help?
And now Miami is now the capital of capital.
It's no secret.
If you just trust, what's this word?
Data.
Societies that attract and keep billionaires grow, and societies that demonize billionaires will decline.
California, if you don't want your billionaires, we'll gladly take them here.
And the 305, by the way, shout out to the Miami Hurricanes, going to be the national champions this year.
Respect.
It's going to be good if it's going to be Miami Hurricanes Indiana.
Let's do one last one and wrap up.
So Trump says he's banning institutional.
Rob, do you have that one?
He's banning institutional.
Let me go to this one.
Institutional investment from scooping up single-family homes.
We've been talking about that for a while.
This is big if they pull this off.
This is very good for middle America.
For a very long time, buying and only go home was considered the pinnacle of the American dream.
It was a reward for hard working, working hard and doing the right things.
But now, because of the record high inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, the American dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially the younger Americans.
Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Tom, thoughts on this?
Well, he's calling on Congress to codify it.
I mean, let's make a law.
Let's do this.
I think this is smart.
A lot of people say, well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Now he's interfering with this.
Real estate's just an asset class.
Banks want to buy asset classes.
Well, hang on.
When you're talking about the power of America, which is its citizens, and you're talking about that we've had a situation where, you know, building has been kind of flatlined.
I don't think we're going to have more than 4 million transactions for 2026 after 4 million last year, and the housing starts are low.
I think this is smart saying, wait a minute.
You know, I don't think it's a good idea that Large banking or private equity simply buy up an asset class like this and rent it back to the American worker when there's a bigger thing here.
And the bigger thing is that home equity had been a key part of people's savings, which impacts their retirement.
So this is also the federal government stepping in who needs to be paying for Social Security, which is probably going to get cut, ladies and gentlemen.
And stopping, this will stop the shortage.
Part of the shortage, Pat, will stop.
Because when these houses get bought up, there's fewer houses for people to buy.
And so the price of those houses that are available to the general public is pushed up additionally by all that printing of money.
Rob.
But I think this is a good thing.
You have BlackRock, you're talking $5 trillion.
You're talking BlackRock owns most of the pharmaceutical industry, if not most of the Dow Jones.
If you're thinking about tech stocks and you're thinking about this BlackRock State Street and Vanguard, that is more powerful.
That is a real unelected group that can force policy.
It can affect the economy and is.
I mean, if you take that $5 trillion, the buying potential of that, and what they've done to single-family homes, I would just say to you this.
When was the last time you washed your rental car?
You don't do it.
You don't own it.
You don't give a shit about it.
But kids, how do we expect these young Americans to care about the American dream if they're not given a piece of it, if they don't have the opportunity to earn a piece of it?
So we have to do that.
When you have BlackRock, they will buy a home in a neighborhood for $300,000 and sell it to themselves for $700,000.
They're artificially causing inflation and making the house purchases unbuyable for the average young person.
I'm talking 30 and under.
And in their 30s for crying out loud, who are still living with their parents.
They also are getting tax credits for this purchase.
And they're getting loans for exceedingly a better deal than young people can.
So we need to have some regulation.
And that's why the president does not traditionally like to get involved with regulations.
But in this situation, it has to happen because I believe there's a monopoly going in place.
And if you think, if the government thought that Mob L back at the time and long-distance phone companies were becoming a monopoly, certainly, and that was worthy of being broken up, certainly the idea of one big company like BlackRock buying up single-family homes in the hundreds of thousands is a monopoly, and that needs to be taken care of.
And Robert Kennedy and I talked about that a year ago.
And thankfully, President Trump is doing another something great to help the American people.
I agree.
And I will tell you, this means they are paying attention to the affordability crisis that's taking place.
And that's great.
So to people that are 18 to 29 years old, 18 to 30 years old, this is directed to you.
And this is very good news for you because we want the youngins to get married, to have kids, to buy a house, to have their dreams become a reality.
The more, anytime you build a company, like when we build the insurance company at the beginning, I told my guys, I said, listen, the previous company lost a lot of people.
Why?
Because the comp benefited the guys at the top.
Once the comp benefited everybody and the newest guy can win, you'll continue winning.
We have to make sure the comp benefits right now, the newer people that are coming up as well, 18 to 29.
And if we can do that, affordability can be fixed.
I think midterms will be scored away.
But if they don't figure this out by around July, August, it's going to be a very, very deadly midterms that they'll have.
I don't forget.
Yeah, well, this comes down to affordability.
You know, I applaud President Trump for making housing affordable.
You know how I feel about buying a house and renting.
Part of the reason that I've been such an advocate for not buying a house is because it's been completely unaffordable.
How could the average 25-year-old, 30-year-old, 40-year-old buy a house when you're competing with BlackRock for that specific house?
So I'm all for people getting married.
I'm all for people getting a house, but not.
if it's going to drive you into debt.
So to me, if you can't afford a house, stop complaining about it, rent, save that money, invest in other appreciating assets.
Right.
Until then, stop complaining.
And what's the definition of crazy?
Doing the same thing over and over again.
Until housing is affordable, it's almost irrelevant.
But it's if you want to buy a house, you can't afford it.
You can't afford it, but it's not because of its market forces.
It's falsely inflated market forces that are preventing it.
Whatever the reason is, you can't afford it.
No, no, no, but I'm saying is that there's...
That's like saying, hey, I want to be on SNL.
It's like, well, you're not funny.
Well, there's an artificial.
Okay, you are funny.
But you're not living in New York.
You're living in a wrong government.
There's an artificial.
But that's artificially saying that the people auditioning for Saturday Night Live, we're not going to pick any of those people we already pre-picked.
That's the same thing BlackRock's doing now, is that they're artificially raising the prices of homes and making it unaffordable.
And they're buying too many and forcing people to become renters so they can't even rent because literally they'll buy 30,000 homes.
So what the president is doing is, and it has to be done through, you know, codified through Congress, but he is going to limit, it has to be done in two ways, the ability to buy a massive amount, and they shouldn't be able to speculate on that.
And so you have to, but the legislation is going to be critical.
And Tom, you'll know that.
The legislation has to be critical so that it doesn't have loopholes in it that they continue.
So this isn't just something.
It has to be able to help.
And what's going to help right away is to take away any tax credits that BlackRock currently receives for buying homes.
That's a good point.
So that has to be a lot of people.
So let me ask you one question because I agree with you.
You got to wrap up.
If you want to buy a house, should you buy it before or after regulation sets place?
You have to buy it when you can afford it and in any particular place.
And this regulation, though, should be able to stabilize the house prices, if not lower them.
And we'll see.
I mean, I'm hopeful.
It's not going to happen overnight, though.
It's not going to happen overnight.
Well, folks, we'll see what's going to happen here.
