Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Let's talk about California. So a few things.
Chapter 2: What warning did the FBI issue regarding drone attacks in California?
FBI says Iran plotting drone attack on California as retaliation for the war. Terrifying FBI alert that came out. Rob, go ahead and play this clip.
So new reporting just coming in of a warning to law enforcement in California from the FBI that Iran could retaliate against U.S. strikes by launching drones at the West Coast. This is coming from ABC News reporting national correspondent Matt Finn joining us live from our L.A. bureau. Hi, Matt.
Hey, Martha, so there is this ABC report that the FBI has warned police departments here in California that Iran could launch a drone attack somewhere on the West Coast, possibly targeting California. This drone attack could, you know, potentially come from an unidentified vessel.
I've talked to some LAPD sources who say so far LAPD has not been made aware of any credible drone threats here in Los Angeles. One LAPD source tells Fox News that there has not been...
Top U.S. drone expert says Iran could make deadly California strike at any second. We're extremely vulnerable. Iranian forces have technology, the ability and the motivation to launch withering drone attacks on targets in California, according to Brett. Well, a former U.S.
Army intelligence and a special operations soldier who spent years using drones to hunt and kill leaders of ISIS and other extremist, other terrorist groups were extreme. Is this it, Rob? Yes, sir. Go for it.
Yeah, absolutely. Look, Will, Iran has been trying to find unique ways to kill Americans for years. They found that in their own lethal drone technology years ago and had a head start on us when it comes to manufacturing cheap, low cost and highly lethal attack drones. But this brings up a larger issue that honestly deserves national attention. Our counter drone defenses here in America.
I've been warning about this for years on this program, and now it's playing out in real time. And the uncomfortable truth is that some elements of our own regulatory system, particularly the FAA, are slowing down the technologies that can actually stop these very threats. And look, I'll be the first to admit it.

Chapter 3: How could Iranian drone technology threaten U.S. cities?
The FAA has a very difficult job. They have to protect the most congested airspace in the world. They mean well. But my loyalty is always going to be to protect fellow Americans. And I keep hearing from other government officials
that the FAA is not doing any favors to our government and defense apparatus who are trying to install counter-drone systems that protect those same Americans, and it's making me nervous. We are extremely vulnerable to domestic drone attacks. Obviously, Iran's seeing that, China's seeing that, Russia's seeing that.
The FAA and national security policies on drones should prevent the attack left of launch, not react after somebody here dies.
You can pause it right there. He says drones... Drones can be launched by ships. As the FBI warned local law enforcement agencies, that could be the case in California. Such launches could even be executed from unnamed, unmanned drone ships. You don't even need a human anywhere near this. You can launch these things over Starlink from a boat a thousand miles away, Tom.
You know, this is where low tech meets high tech. When high tech goes against high tech, when the U.S. goes against China, if there was ever a war, it's high tech on high tech and very predictable, you know, avenues of engagement on both sides. When low tech meets high tech, frequently high tech has trouble negotiating. You know, dealing with it.
Take a look at the IEDs, gas canisters like you would get for your backyard barbecue or a fire pit strapped together with a detonator device and a cell phone that's been compromised. That created IEDs that crippled and killed hundreds of our servicemen in Afghanistan and Iraq. That's low tech.
This drone is a low tech propeller driven, you know, delta wing as we see it with basically a, you know, a quadruple grenade on the front of it. That's basically what it is. And so now that's low tech. And even Israel over last night or the night before, Ilan, The Hezbollah attack. Hezbollah did an overwhelming – what they did is there's the Iron Dome in Israel.
What Hezbollah did from the Lebanese border, Golan Heights area – I may be wrong on that, but what I'm not right about is they sent 100 drones to overwhelm it, Pat. They're trying to test and overwhelm Iron Dome. Okay, let's – we got 100 domes. How? How did Hezbollah get 100 domes? Never mind, but there's 100 coming. And so here they come.
And now they're trying to overwhelm it, saying, okay, come and get us. And in the U.S., there is no dome. So if there is... So is this a possibility? In your opinion, could this happen in California? So some said it was a false story that was amplified. Let's never mind that.

Chapter 4: What vulnerabilities exist in America's counter-drone defenses?
Yeah, so you're running an asymmetric war. You're running a war. That's the advantage for people who do not care who they target, is that they can just blindly do these things. Iran doesn't care. If Iran were to attack the United States with drones or terrorists from within the country, their goal is to target civilian infrastructure. They don't have to be precise.
And so that's the benefit they have. They can just operate in... Absolute no accountability and just target whatever they want. It's a very scary reality. We do need to develop just long-term better defensive mechanisms over our own airspace for this kind of thing. It's just a smart way forward.
Oh, I agree because when – I don't know which one of you guys – We were talking about Golden Dome. Golden Dome.
Donald Trump was talking about building a Golden Dome, which I think is a very, very needed – you know, tool that we need here. But if you guys think about it, four drones were stolen from Fort Campbell a couple days ago. So when you want to talk about the insider threat, bro, first of all, that's where the 101st Airborne is at. How are you stealing drones?
I don't think that they were, you know... They were surveillance drones. Surveillance drones were brought. At the end of the day, you could still put whatever you want on top of it. They can still carry a payload. A payload on it, which a bunch of stuff came over to the border that they were talking about. And again, I don't know who these guys were. A Muslim radicalized soldier, maybe?
Oh, you never know.
So that's why, bro... That doesn't happen, guys.
Going back to what you said, enemies foreign and domestic. Since they can't really get to us from the air, it's going to happen from people that are already here that are just waiting in the freaking shadows, that were given money, that were given cell phones, that were given freaking apartments, and we were all lied to. So just be ready for that.
We have to look at the future of warfare, and it's not always going to be the most high-tech stuff that wins wars. Sometimes it's going to be just a different way of thinking about war.

Chapter 5: How does cheap drone warfare change the landscape of asymmetric warfare?
Rob, if you want to go to. So Newsom's being interviewed. by, I believe, David Pakman. And in the interview, he tweets this. Just go to my Twitter account if you could. If you go to, you'll see his tweet right up there. Yeah, right there. So he tweets this, and he says, Trump has wrecked our economy. We used to be the envy of the world. Now our gas prices are soaring. Inflation is up.
Unemployment is skyrocketing. And he's busy in court fighting to tax the American people. You can play this clip, Rob. Go for it.
Literally, I mean, he's taken an economy that was honestly one of the most robust, fastest-growing economies in the world, and here we are. I mean, now it's in reverse with the new jobs numbers. I mean, you saw the gasoline prices going through the roof in red states. I saw today 47 cents in West Virginia, 47 cents, the same number in Indiana, and that's just a few days into this war.
Wait and see, inflation pressures. We're now having the echoes. I mean, cue up the song around stagflation. We're going to all start having that conversation. And obviously, this big, beautiful betrayal and what's happened in terms of the deficit and debt that is going to be exacerbated by these tax cuts and by all of the food stamp cuts and the impacts that's going to have.
So he goes on. His hands are crazy. Yeah, he is very good. Now, keep in mind, if there's anybody in America with zero moral authority to talk about anything, it's this guy. The only governor of a state that lost a trillion dollars of wealth two times, two separate times. 2020, 2021, and 25, 26. People left your state, okay? Two times.
And what's even more embarrassing than that is he's the leading candidate for the Democratic Party at 19% on a CNN poll. Not a Fox poll, a CNN poll. Harry Anton couldn't even control himself saying that people, nobody is excited. He called it a clown show. of what's up there with candidates. But that's Newsom for you.
And while this is happening, Yamaha, that's been there for I don't know how many years, I don't know what the number is, 57 years, 50 years? Yes. Is leaving California. Number two, Howard Schultz, you know, he's obviously a different story because we'll get into the Howard Schultz story. Yamaha's leaving California.

Chapter 6: What lessons can be learned from Hezbollah's drone tactics?
A bunch of other things that's going on. Vinny, your thoughts with... What Newsom is saying here.
He's obviously delusional. And it's like how much of this show that he's putting on is resonating with the actual people. How much of... Because, again, he's still going after Trump. He's still going after Trump. I'm curious to when... Pat, do you think it's going to be, what, one year out?
Where he does the shift and he says, whoever's the frontrunner, that's where he's going to shift all this to. Because you are... completely blind and actually ignorant if you're believing it and living there and not seeing it. My mom lives there, my sister, my brother, my nieces, my nephews, everybody that I love, Pat, lives in California, and they're all feeling it.
And now they're all in their heads going, we might have to be coming to Florida because it's so... He doesn't... The... The fires, they didn't take any ownership. The horrible, they blamed everybody else. He keeps going after Trump as if he's going to run for Trump, run against Trump. You're not. You're going to be going against Rubio, or you're going to be going up against J.D.
Vance, and they're going to demolish you. They're going to demolish you. I don't understand the tactic. I don't get it. But he's very... I sit there and watch him, besides the funny hand movements and everything, he is so good. Cuz when he's doing this, Pat, not to be funny, you're not even paying attention to what's coming out of his mouth. Because in your mind, you're like, what is he doing?
He's hypnotizing you. He's hypnotizing you. And then once the smoke clears, and by the way, shame on Pacman, all these people that just sit there and they just consume all this ridiculous content out of his mouth and they don't push back. Zero. Zero pushback because you're horrible at what you do. Just one-sided. They can't see the other side.
By the way, about 60% of all billionaires in America live in four states. California's got about a couple hundred of them. New York's got about 140 of them. Florida's got about 115 of them. And Texas got about 80 to 85, 60%. California, the way he's going right now, He's about to lose a lot of people. It's not even the end of it. It's not even the end of it.
This is just policies they're looking at right now, sitting there saying, why would I stay here? For what reason? Is it just a lifestyle? Is it? And by the way, 2026, if you're a Democrat, you're a Democrat strategist. Then go to a Republican strategist. If you're a Democrat strategist, you don't care who it is. You just want to have somebody win so he can get in there, right?
And you're looking at Newsom. You have to think about the good, bad, and the ugly. How do you sell him? What are you most concerned about?

Chapter 7: How does the U.S. compare to other countries in drone defense technology?
So you could actually click on the yes, and it'll tell you exactly what you can expect.
There you go. Where does it show it?
Tom, you said there you go, but I don't know what there you go means. I want to know if I put on a thou, what do I get on that? Humberto, can you let us know what happens if a thou was put on here?
You would get 1,000 divided by 18 cents is sort of the votes that you'd be making. $1,000 divided by 18 cents. The number of votes. 5,000?
No, that would be.
5,555.55.
Not a bad bet.
If you put $1,000 on the position of Rubio being president, are you going to win $5,500? That's what it says.
I just divided $1,000 by 8.20.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of drone warfare for civilian infrastructure?
He's the leading candidate. If it succeeds. Yes. But that's a massive if for this thing to be done. And we don't even know what success means. By the way, can you pull up the book that Vinny co-wrote with –
This is what Gavin did with, you know, I'm like you, Gavin Newsom. He let African-Americans know in Atlanta. He doesn't know how to read. His SAT scores were low. By the way, he grew up in the hood. He grew up in the hood, and he ate, you know what I mean, like bread, stacks of bread, and tries to talk.
He has a sequel, doesn't he, where he changes the Y to a J, and he goes over to the Middle East, right?
Yeah, that's the next book. That's the next book with the yarmulke.
And by the way, just so you guys know, that's AI. That's AI. You don't need to go double check and verify whether that is real or not. Let me go to a couple things here before we wrap up. The hair is real. The expression is AI. I want so if you're somebody that's running a sales organization.
organization and you're running a business and you want to find a way to improve your sales team results activity in better systems better comp better strategies better innovative campaigns and knowing who to work with who not to work with identify what clients are better clients for you and develop that culture within your guys we host an event once a year called the sales leadership summit and this guy in the video is going to explain it to you
every great sales team has three different types of people on its team the finder the closer the builder every once in a while you have a trifecta that does all three let me explain to you what this means finders are great prospectors they'll go out and find clients no problems but they're not good at closing closers put somebody in front of me i'll close them but i'm not good at prospecting builders if they become a client they're very good at retaining developing relationship all of that
And if you can develop trifectas that do all three, your company's doing numbers you've never seen before. The last 25 years, I have worked on developing people that are trifectas. If you want to learn how to develop trifectas on your sales team, once a year I host an event called the Sales Leadership Summit. This year's going to be March 25th through the 27th at Trump Doral.
If you want to learn more about how you and your team can attend that event, click on the link below. One of our representatives will get a hold of you. There you go. Click on the link below. Go to the QR code. We'd love to spend a couple days with you. And there may be possibilities afterwards of doing some stuff that I can only announce to the people that are going there.
