Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweet victory. I know this life meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. A handshake is better than anything I ever saw. It's right here. You are a one of one? My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before. Gang, hope you had a good weekend.
Obviously, the war with Iran continues, and there's a lot of stuff going on. It's not slowing down. Gas prices right now, just so you know, when we were talking about where oil prices were going to be, as of right now, For the last five days, gas prices, oil prices, crude oil is up 45%. For the month, it's up 60% is what's going on.
So if you go to the gas station, you have felt the difference, and it looks like there's some stuff that's going on in the Strait of Hormuz, and things are not slowing down. There are drone strikes happening. Strike torches, oil tanker, in straight of Hormuz as Iran blockade halts global shipping. Then you're seeing these clips.
If you guys saw these clips with the rain coming, it's almost like an acid rain, chemicals. And this one reporter has shown, look what it's on the car. And you see the black cloud of acid rain. If you've seen the movie... the series by HBO Chernobyl that Vinny, you shared with us. It looks like that rain coming down, obviously not at that level, but you have to see this.
We'll show the clip to you. And then on top of that, there was something that happened this weekend, which Tom called last week, and we got to give Tom credit for this, is if Iran attacks Bahrain's water desalination area, if they do, you need that, and they did. So you need that, you need electricity, so...

Chapter 2: How are gas prices affected by the situation in Iran?
They know what they're doing if they're attacking it. And if they go that route, it could be very nasty. At the same time, with Iran, there's an island called Garg Island, K-H-A-R-G Island. It's in the north. I don't know if I want to say northeast. It's an island. If you pull up the map, keep going out so they can see where the island is.
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Okay, so it's right there. So you see where Iran is and where that is. It's all the way at the top. of straight Hormuz, that is a very important area that if U.S. or Israel hits, it's very important because that's where 90% of the exports come out. And they haven't hit it yet. And it's extremely protected and guarded.
And by the way, Tom made a good point again this morning while we're talking about this. Once we get into it, Tom, we'll break down the whole thing for you. But if they hit this, if 90% comes out and U.S. and Israel haven't hit this... The reason why they haven't hit it is because they're planning if it does end up happening, that it's shifted.
This could be the place that they could use to, you know, ship oil out to China because China relies on them for their oil, a lot of other things. But if they do hit it, it's like, listen, we don't even care if the business comes to us. So nobody knows how that's going to be managed as they're going through a new supreme leader of Iran.
was officially announced, and once they announced the Supreme Leader, I just want to kind of give you a resume, and you tell me if you were this person, how would you manage it if you got a new job, okay? You ready? You just got a job, and this is Mojtaba Khamenei, okay, who is the new Supreme Leader. His father was just killed in opening airstrikes.
His mother, mentioned in multiple sources, was also killed in the same strikes. His wife, Zahra, confirmed killed in the same airstrikes. His son... Also reported killed, some accounts specify, grandson of Ali Khamenei as Mojtab's child. His sister, Hoda, killed his brother-in-law and other relatives, including nieces and nephews. And guess what? Here you go. You're the supreme leader.
I don't think this guy's going to want to seek vengeance towards anybody, but he just got hard. And by the way, just so you know, allegedly a report Vinny just showed us by Breitbart that he's already wounded. And so his days are numbered. So they're either going to take him out or if he sticks around, would you naturally, if you watch Game of Thrones, And a guy becomes a king.
This is like Joffrey times 10 is who he is. And he's got all this animosity and rage in him. He just got the big job. And then aside from that, some incredible heroic example by the woman.
soccer players of Iran unbelievably you know patriotic how they were able to and I don't even know how to put patriotic because they stood up against IRGC I believe it's a game in Australia and and they're standing up and you're seeing reporters from Iran I'll play a clip to you guys if they did this we have to show we have to make an example of them we can't let them do this because this is an example of what they're doing to us and embarrassing us we got to take them out

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Mojtaba Khamenei becoming the new Supreme Leader?
And that's never going to go away. Our vision long term is massive on what we want to do with it. I'm wearing it right now. I'm wearing a future looks bright shirt right now. I'm wearing the shoes right now. But please do not place any orders until April 1st when we catch up with our thousands of orders that are going out between now and then.

So, new Supreme Leader has been announced, and I'm coming to you guys here on this one. Mojtaba Khamenei is officially the new Supreme Leader of Iran. They just announced it. Celebration. Rob, if you want to play this clip, when the announcement was made, go for it. Member of the Assembly of Experts, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, our dear leader, our guardian jurist, Allah...
Great Akbar. What happened there? What is this, Rob? It's AI translated. Allahu Akbar. God is the greatest. Okay. Well, by the way, to give credit, there's a lot of celebration going on in this clip because this is pro-IRGC community that's out there announcing that they just got their new supreme leader. But let me announce to you what happened with this new job.
And I said that earlier, but I'm going to put this in the clip because I want the clip to go out. Then Tom, Vinny, Adam, I'm coming to you guys on this. Imagine you just got a job. Hey, we want you to be the leader, the supreme leader of Iran.
Like, okay, but just in the last week, your father was killed, your mother was killed, your wife was killed, your son was killed, your sister was killed, your brother-in-law was killed, And other nephews and nieces were killed. And congratulations, now you're the supreme leader.
And the moment that is announced, an article comes out saying you've already been wounded, okay, which you know you're going to be a target because the president says Iran confirms new supreme leader Moshe Taba Khamenei is wounded. So, one, you're a target. They're going to take you out. They want to take you out. Number two, you want to seek vengeance. What would you do?
So, Tom, your thoughts with the new, were you surprised that this is a new supreme leader or just kind of a name that was coming up? No, they're going to proceed and they're going to name a new leader. They are never going to back down and say, OK, you know, our supreme leader was, you know, killed, removed, assassinated, depending on who's saying the story. Right, Vinny, they'll pick the word.

Chapter 4: What are the potential consequences of U.S. military action in Iran?
And guess what? He's not going to last long. Okay, so touche. I'm going to throw one back at you when I heard you out. What's your point? My point is this. I don't think a guy that's buying luxury houses and has all these cars and everything thought that we were going to kill every single person in the circle, and now he went from the 50th in line to number one. He doesn't want it.
I'll ask a very calm, collected conversation. Chaba, you're up. If he didn't want it, Which I don't think you're right. Okay. Why would he take the job? No, they made him get the job. He didn't sit there and go, I'll take it. He's next. You got to take it, Adam. He's in the line. Well, listen, I never thought- This is the highest order of honor you could possibly have as Supreme.
I'm trying to read the underlying debate here. Are you guys saying whether he listens more to like a Wu-Tang Klang or Tupac? No, he's more of a Tupac. Cash rules everything around me or thug life? I think he's a Wu-Tang. Oh, great, he's Wu-Tang. You think he's Wu-Tang? He's cream. He's hit him up. All right. I think it's Wu-Tang. Well, listen. He's already hurt. He's already hurt. All right.
Okay. Pat, what do you think? This is natural progression. What do you think? You have an eye on this. You have a finger on the pulse. I think this was the guy to get the job. Because Khomeini, believe it or not, Khomeini's grandson, who was one of the candidates,
They put him in that school that they, you know, whatever the main school is that you go to where they develop you, the indoctrination school. I had the prince of Islam that came on board when we were talking to him. He went to school with Khomeini's grandson, and they actually didn't give him anything. They kind of set him aside on the sideline and didn't do anything with him.
So I don't think Khomeini's son was going to get the job. If they kill him, he may get the job. But let me tell you what just happened, Rob. Go back to one of the clips that you had. The grandson, the son of... This is Ayatollah Khomeini's grandson. This is what he said. The grandson said this... Four weeks ago, folks. Go ahead.
Israel's new full world, that if a day comes when any Islamic nation is capable of firing missiles at Israel, and striking Israel, and if they are capable of erasing Israel, they will do to Israel what Hamas did to it. All the Islamic nations, all of them, today we see that some countries in the region are not fulfilling their duty, saying they are incapable of doing so.
Israel knows, America knows, and the leaders of the superpowers know. And if a day comes when the Islamic countries are capable of bombing Israel, you can pause it right there. Okay. Wow. This is the son of the guy that just became the supreme leader, by the way. Is this guy one of the ones that was killed in the bombing? No, I don't think so. That's a good question.
I don't think it's this one that was killed. You know, the one thing about Muslims, they have a lot of kids, but... It says at least one son reported killed. Okay, Rob, can you check to see if that was the son that was killed? Yes. I don't think it was him, though. So, Pat, if it wasn't him, guess what, Adam? That's the guy that's about that life. This guy's about that life.

Chapter 5: What are Trump's views on the current political landscape?
Trump's looking at the marketplace. You don't think Trump looks at the news. The media is going after Bill Maher. He's saying things. You don't think he's looking at people like Tucker Carlson or literally talking trash about the regime, about President Trump and saying, dude, you're gone. You're no longer MAGA. Beat it, geek. So I think Trump is looking at the marketplace.
And I think if you're a full-throated supporter of Trump, God bless you. I understand he has flaws. If you're understanding, listen, Trump's the guy. He was elected. There was a mandate. Seven swing states. He's on board. Let's go. But if you're full-on talking crap about Trump, the president, whether you're on the ridiculous left or the ridiculous right, Trump ain't got no time for you.
So it's perfectly okay to question, but Trump knows what he's doing. There you have it. So you either support one or the other one. But the reality is I don't think anybody in America wants the long-term staying of a place like what we did with Afghanistan or Iraq. Even the people that are supportive of what's going on right now with this.
By the way, remember how I said everybody has got an opinion, but then trust what people say? Here's what Iranians are saying. This is from the IRGC, Rob. Here's what he had to say. This is facts. This is what they're doing. This is what they're saying.
Chapter 6: What insights do Iranians share about the regime?
Go ahead, Rob. Parents, if your son or daughter doesn't listen, it's not our fault. Anyone in Iran today who utters a tune that harmonizes with the enemy, under their feet is Tel Aviv, and in their head is Netanyahu. A shooting order has been issued for them. No one has ever spoken to you this frankly. We don't want your child to be killed because your child is ignorant.
We don't want to kill your child because they're ignorant. But parents, it's your fault. if you confuse your kids. Played one more time just for reassurance if you guys missed it. This is a member of the IRGC giving a warning to Iranians in Iran. Go ahead, Rob. Parents, if your son or daughter doesn't listen, it's not our fault.
Anyone in Iran today who utters a tune that harmonizes with the enemy, under their feet is Tel Aviv and in their head is Netanyahu. A shooting order has been issued for them. No one has ever spoken to you this frankly. We don't want your child to be killed because your child is ignorant. Do you understand?
We're trying to compartmentalize in America, where we're living, in the most beautiful, safest country in the world, what it's like over there. Is that state media? What is that right there? That is a member of IRGC. That's like the military saying, listen guys,
We don't have to come out in Detroit or Minneapolis or in Tulsa, Oklahoma or Miami and say, if you say bad things about the regime, we don't have to want to kill you. Adam, that's taking it easy. Don't make us kill you. God forbid we have to kill you so parents... Do yourself a favor. Tell your kids to be quiet and just take what's going on or we'll have to kill you.
The Middle East is not the American Midwest.

Chapter 7: How does the discussion shift to the impact of terrorism in NYC?
These are the psychopaths that we have to deal with on the other side of the world. And do you think these people can be reasoned with? They'll kill their own people. What do you think they'll do to us? That's their capability. That's what they believe in. They don't believe in life the way you look at life.
By the way, Tom, you want to talk about what happened with Bahrain with that water desalination camp that they had? Bahrain says Iran had a desalination plant stoking fear of attacks on civilian sites. Tom, why is it so important? Well, desalination is how they take the Gulf water and convert that to fresh water. It takes a lot of power. It takes a lot of system.
General Electric is usually the one that builds these around the world. And when you have money pumping out of the ground, you have all the energy you need to run this.
But this is how, when anybody looks at the pictures, wow, Dubai, look how lush, look how beautiful, look how this, they built golf course over there, LIV golf, they got all these championship, and look at how lush it is and everything. Where'd that come from? It came from the Gulf because they would desalination. And now they don't need to find deep water wells.
They have deep water wells, but this is where they get their water so that they have a lush civilization and a tremendous opportunity to grow and expand for their people. It also is key.
And what I said last week was the minute an enemy combatant touches infrastructure for civilians, and there's two, there's sewage treatment, water treatment, so that the sewers are pumping and flowing and there's water coming in. Those are the big two. Electricity, sometimes power grids have backups. You have solar farms. It's not as serious, but it is serious, but it's not as lethal.
This, that they hit this, shows that, you know, over the weekend, I think we had the story over the weekend, Pasechian said, oh, we're going to back off. We're not going to be hitting sites in the small Arab nations. Now, what did he mean by that? The sites he was referring to was U.S. sites. Oh, we were hitting a U.S. naval radar. We're hitting a U.S. dock where they conduct their ships.
We're only hitting U.S. sites in your area. And if we miss it by a block or two and we hit something, oh, my bad. Sorry. Well, he said, we're not going to be hitting those sites anymore. That was on Saturday, Rob, the story was on Saturday. And then Sunday afternoon, they're doing it again. And they hit a desalination plant in Bahrain.
This to me, Pat, is Iran is crossing a line into hitting civilian infrastructure. And I think we need to understand just how big of a line this is that they're crossing with the Arab neighbors. It's like, crippling, you know, Bahrain's ability. And it's a partial damage. It was partially damaged. So they say it's still working and repairs are underway.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the recent protests and arrests in New York City?
You live in the desert in a place called the Middle East. In the desert, You're dying of water. You're dying of thirst. You're so confused. You see in the distance this oasis and you run towards it and you realize that you're hallucinating because you have no water and the oasis doesn't exist. Now what happens if there was a way to have water in the desert?
Oh my God, what would you do to have that water? Well, there's three countries that are leading the way in desalination. Those three countries are as follows. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel. You know who's not leading the effort on that? Iran.
So at some point, this dam is going to break, pun intended, with the water right there, and they're going to realize in order to survive in the desert with climate change and geopolitics going on and war all around us, we're going to need water. So they call oil what? Liquid gold? There's something more important than liquid gold. That is Mavlov's hierarchy of power. You need water to survive.
So if you're attacking the life source of water, you're going to have a major problem, not just with your enemies, but with your quote unquote neighbors who used to be somewhat allies. Iran, you messed up big time. Okay, so next story I want to go to while we're still talking about this stuff is a, let me see this one here.
Trump kicks Tucker out of MAGA movement after talkers, Iran, war criticism lost its way. Is this a New York Post story? Is there a video or is it a Post story? This is just a story, but this is the tweet from the person who spoke with President Trump. That's the ABC guy? Yes, sir.
In a lengthy conversation just now, President Trump hit back at Tucker, who called the Iran war absolutely disgusting and evil. Tucker has lost his way. I knew that a long time ago, but he's not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough. to understand that.
Now, here's the thing. While saying that, Adam, your reaction to this? Good. It's about time. I mean, I could go on and on and on and on, but at some point, when someone just is... What's the famous quote? When your enemy is making a mistake, get out of their way? Listen, if you've been following Tucker, what is he doing? What does he stand for? I don't know what he stands for. So...
This is my opinion, mine and mine only. Some people should not be their own boss. There's one person in the history of America that has been coddled by the American mainstream media for 30 years, and that name is Tucker Carlson. CNN, MSNBC, Fox. What do they do on mainstream media? They say, oh, here's a script. Read this. There's a teleprompter. Read this. OK. All of a sudden he gets fired.
Maybe Fox News knew what they were doing because they're doing better than other numbers. And they said, yeah, Tucker, get out of here. Tucker goes and forms his company with Neil Patel, whoever that is. And all of a sudden, Neil is a player. Sure. He's not that good of a player to basically get Trump in the MAGA camp because. Tucker and the MAGA camp because Trump just kicked them out.
