Okay, we're officially live folks. I think it's fair to say we miss you. I have to tell you I miss you. It's been too long It's it's been a week. It's we miss you so much that Adam still playing the ads on that ground. Yeah, I apologize But it's good to be back. Fellas Adam. Yes, yes, yes We've been away last week. We decided to take a long vacation just traveling. I was Italy. I got to know The people in Sicily were fantastic Incredible. We had a good time. It's a we had a very very good time. We'll see what's gonna happen. What's your favorite part? The pasta, the dishes, the food was ridiculous. Unbelievable. The food there. Next time you go to Italy, maybe you take some. I don't even want to tell you

stories of it. I don't even want to tell you stories of it. I don't want to tell you stories of it. I don't want to tell you people are very I don't even want to tell you stories of what happened, but it's gonna be interesting. Yes, it. I don't want to have that. I don't even want to tell you stories of what happened, but it's going to be interesting. Yes, it's going to be interesting. It's amazing. So now go on. Well, it's good to be back. First of all, we got a lot of crazy stories.

But the one story I thought it was important for us to start off with is, I think you need it in inspiration. I think, I think like Adam, I was thinking about what would motivate Adam. Yeah. There's a man in India that I think could be Adam's 20 Rob. You take it where you can get? Can you put the story up, please? I think it's a man in India that I think could be Adams, Tony Robbins. You take it where you can get. Can you put the story up, please?

I think it's a very important story that just was introduced. And by the way, maybe father up 89 kids, world's largest family, that at 76 in India. Can you imagine at 76 years old, the guy has 89 kids? OK, do you think that record will be broken? 89 kids. I mean, you think someone's going to pull off a world chamber and get 100 kids, okay, do you think that record will be broken? 89 kids, I mean, you think someone's gonna pull off a wheelchair and bring get a hundred kids. I mean do the math I mean you gotta have a triplets every year. No wonder India's got one and a half billion people. I mean at this space they're gonna be a 10 billion in no time that people get inspired by this. Here's his biggest problem. How many ex wives does he have? Holy crap

I mean that system if you say that again. Kai we can't hear you, gotta hit the... A lot of child support. But do we actually know how many wives he has or no? Like how many mother or... That took at least 10 women. There's not at least 10 women. We think so.

Yeah, I wanna know the over under. At least, what do you mean? Each woman was having nine kids of her own? I think there was like 15, 20 women. Dude, listen, everybody's claiming like Warren Betty's the biggest play or one Chamberlain. This guy's got a what's his name? Like, you know, you know, you're not a chana. He's the only one not smiling. We read the report, the most prolific father in

the world of Pasaran, those are my chana was a head of a polygamist. Oh, 38 wives. Okay, got it. 38 wives. There we go. 89 children, 36 grandchildren, making them buy some reports that headed the world's largest family during his lifetime with heavy heart Maseram, but we're forward to Maseram. Don't believe the head world's also 89 kids. Oh, let me die. Yeah, he died 76 Well, I mean think about he's sitting there. He's sitting there thinking about he's sitting there thinking about 89 kids. He's got to take care of here's a question. Yeah over under on how many of his own kids names he remembered I'm saying 50% Maybe I think after 10 kids he called them numbers. Yeah 11

Or how like George Foreman named all his kids George or how like George Foreman named all his kids George Georgina George you know George you know George is worth 400 million that grill was good for him I think it's worth it yeah I think good for him yeah that he's worth 400 million I think it's a great success story but anyways I wanted to kind of motivate you a little bit Thank you that was that's phony robins right there just complete That story would have inspired me so if you start now it might only take you about 50 or 60 years Yeah I gotta get another couple dozen women in my profile. It's going to be a bad to be an impact.

It's going to be an impact. Can you imagine having that many kids, though? Like what is 89 kids? What is the outcome of that to have that many kids? If someone had told me what the world or asked me with the world record is, I was at 30, but 89 that that's unfound. You know, you know, what is an impressive record, though? What's the most kids a person's had with the same partner? That's what's an impressive record to me. Probably in the 20s. It's probably in the 20s.

Someone's in the 20s. Like, you went out of a 40s. I don't think you can do 30, and it's gotta be more than the teens. It's in the 20s somewhere. So you're saying the same woman, yes, yes, yes. I believe it's happening.

They're saying the whole for sure. Same mom and dad. What's the most you know? The most I know is 15. Same mom and dad. Yep, same mom and dad. What's the most you know? The most I know is 15. Same mom and dad. Yep, same mom and dad. I'd have to say 12. I don't know if I know anybody that higher,

that much higher than that. What's the most you know? Four and one thing. Yeah, I mean, you're about to have a fourth baby. So that's a lot of you're like number one for me right now. This guy's got three, you got four. I got two cats, no, it's the you know, we got a polygamy family.

But the challenge is to be able to manage two cats. That's difficult. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough.

It's tough. It's tough. I've got six women helping me raise two cats. It's tough. Oh, listen, did you send your birthday card yesterday or no? I know you're like a birthday. Two Donald Trump. Yeah.

Yes. You did? I had some arson in it. It was not a big deal, but happy birthday Donald. We had a trip and down there and just had lunch with him. Yeah, well, it was funny because when we were doing the thing of the breakers, I drove by Mar-a-Lago multiple times. I gave a wave. There's a big American flag there to respect.

Yeah. I do love America. He loves America too. You know, some people might say that. But he loves a different America than America you love. He loves the mega crowd. He loves, he loves. I like just normal people.

Yeah, that's a lot of your normal are becoming weird nowadays. They're very, very, very, and I think with that being Celetius going to that story, I think that's the story to get into. So look, typically we'll go to a bunch of random stuff. We have a lot of crazy stories. Travels back at two million people a day

going into a TSA which is fantastic news. If you want to take a fly to space with Jeff Bezos, he can do it for $28 million. Is it even worth the by the way, to $28 million? You know, I can explain when we get to that story. I'll tell you what they're gonna do. It's interesting. For someone, it definitely is worth $28 million,

if you're a billionaire. Here's a question. If you worth a billion, would you spend 2.8% of your wealth to go to space? If I love, if I love that much, I'm asking you though, do you have any desire to go to space? Yeah, I'm down.

Listen, when you're that wealthy, when you're in the billionaire club, it's all about cloud. But what I'm asking you is at what, because to me, it's all a percentage conversation. That's all it is. What percentage of your wealth are you willing to spend to go into space? What percentage? Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? You're on someone I'm asking like meaning if you're 280 million dollars cash, would you

spend 10% of it? If your billion dollars, would you spend 2.8% of it? At what percentage are you willing to say? I'll go on it. 10%. Okay. So I'd tell you you would say yes to it. I'd say yeah. Okay. Interesting. How about you? Gambling number. I don't even know if I'd want to go to space. Okay. So that's the question whether you'd want to go or number i don't know if i want to go to space ok so that's the question what you want to go on out how about you know desire to go to the senate all but if somebody said hey would you want to take a private jet and go to the mba finals the world series the olympics the superballin one year i'd do ten percent for you know the space what would you spend the issue question folks your listen to this your worth a billion dollars matter of fact forget about

your worth a billion dollars would you spend twenty eight percent of your wealth to go into space? Thumbs up, if you would, thumbs down, if there's no way in the world you could care less about going into space. Right now, we're at 60 zero, let's see what the ratios are gonna be. Let me tell you why it's a big deal.

Tell me. Because you know, when you enter that billionaire class, it's all about cloud. I got to riches this, I got the biggest boat, I got the fastest car. I got to biggest boat, I got the fastest car, I got the Ducati, the whatever it is that you are chasing with the cloud chasing this. Now you're going to freaking space, bro.

What? Or you could say, is that even a thing ever on anyone's mind? Now you get to go to space, even if it's for 11 minutes apparently. It's overrated, space is overrated. It's 11 minutes. You know what, are we talking about this story right now? We're walking all the way home. It's going right to it right now, it's for over a minute, it's apparently overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated.

It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated.

It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated.

It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. It's overrated. You know what it's easy and rast if we're on this topic wouldn't it be interesting to know who the guy is They haven't figured it out yet. They haven't announced it yet So 28 million he pid in this alike in this auction. I say it's Richard Branson Would that be the ultimate publicity stunt ever he hops on board baselesses ship Only one bigger publicity stunt if it's Elon Musk that did it. Boom, we got roommates going on. You think you're beating me to space?

That's all that. It's me. Next thing, Elon, show up on the back. You like speed? I think I would be very curious to do it. Kids are under 10. I'd probably do it if they were above. If the youngest was above 14, they had plenty of the dad they need, I would probably do.

That's probably how it process. Oh, you're a factor in risk. I'm factoring in the value of a father figure and a kid's life after 14 if I died, they got plenty out of me. If they screw up after that time, why 14? I think that's a good age. I think I should have aged.

At that point, you're going to, at that point, not listen to your parents anyways. You're going to do whatever the hell you want to do. So if I've taught you whatever I taught you till 14, you wanna do whatever you wanna do. If it didn't work, you know what, my teacher's sucks. I'll move on.

They have hundreds of hours of your videos to tell you the rest of their life anyway. You know, but the basil's worth, hey, basil's was brilliant how he did this because this capsule is cool. Two thirds of it is windows, right? So it's all set up for future tourism and space. It's really two thirds of and space. So that's the whole idea. So what they're going to do is are going to go straight up. They're going to hit a speed of 2300 miles an hour,

which is three times the speed of sound. Okay, so it burns off all the fuel. It can't go any higher. So I think it's about 64 miles up in the air. That's where you kind of enter this space area. So then they're going to be weightless. Then they take off the seat belt. They can float around for about two minutes. And then they can take their pictures and they're going to be wait list. Then they take off the seat belt. They can float around for about two minutes and then they can take their pictures and they're going to look throughout the windows.

They're going to see earth. They're going to see the round earth in the background. And then they come down and then they they're thrown out with parachutes. That's how they're getting down and they're going to land in the

West Texas desert 20 miles and hours, what they're being hit in the ground at about with these parachutes. So, you know, they've done it many, many times without humans. So this is the first time. And by the way, NASA has calculated when you go into space, there's a 1% chance you die based on

how many space flights we've had and how many people have died in space. So it's a lot of risk you're then going up in a plane. It's a total ego boost for whoever is doing this. It would be cool, I guess, if you do survive. I just don't have, I don't need thrills. I'm not that guy that's looking to, you know, go into space and come on back down. I think there's 20 things to do on earth. One percent is not bad. If it's 1%, I may actually do it today. If it was a 1% chance.

1%. I would do it. I would do it if it's 1%, 28 million bucks. Yeah, it's, it is, it is definitely something on you. Can you imagine, go for a job interview. So what can you put us, which, you have only one thing you've done in your life. Tell us about the last year of your life.

Forget Hagen Doss. I know it's impressive. Forget Burger King. Forget about the fact that I was a more can-standly military baller. Sorry. I went to space with Jeff Bezos. Hey, here's the question we should have asked you

about my- I already got it. This was last week. Customer service, head of customer service. That's why you didn't do the podcast last week because we would have said house, space. Which one do you pick? I chose the house.

Good call. As of last week, I chose- Congratulations, I appreciate you. I know that you announced that I'm excited about it For someone that is not interested in doing space whatsoever and isn't interested in the thrills Tom's enter certainly knows every freaking detail of what's going on with this face I think deep down a study wants to go. Yeah, but I think he's also looking at he's got kids and he wants to see what I just gonna sign the permission slip. I want to go to space. I'm sorry honey. You can't go not signing

Don't give for too much power. I want to go to space, I'm sorry, honey. You can't go. We're not signing. Don't give for too much power. You have to do dishes this weekend, Tom. Don't like that. You're not doing too much. Two-inch dictator has that much power. She actually. She's actually very, very powerful.

Yeah. You want to retract that statement? Or she's going to hear it. Five, three. Five, three. Five, three. She said she's not done growing. She's almost five.

She's not done growing. She's not held out. Hold on, hold on. So here's the next question. Yeah. Because obviously, you said she's not done growing, she's almost five. She's not done growing. She's a whole not-home. So here's the next question. Because obviously you said 1% risk of Jeff Bezos is going to space with his brother and whoever this $28 million winner of the auction is, respect, I don't know who it is, they haven't announced it yet.

Obviously the 99% chance that everything will be okay. Let's talk about that 1% chance. How much life insurance do you think Jeff Bezos has? How much estate planning do you think he's done? Do you think he's got a billion dollars of life insurance? No, and even get that much. The reason why I know he doesn't have a billion dollars of insurance is because the record of the biggest

policy sold was $210 million, some number like that, that went to Guinness. So, but no one knows who the 210 was. Some say speculated was Bill Gates. Some say was one of those Buffett or Bill Gates. So I know he does not billion dollars of insurance, but at this point of the game, you know, insurance at that level, you know, you're worth a couple hundred

billion dollars. His insurance is, he still owns Amazon. His insurance is a lot of his. His insurance is working with DC. His insurance is Washington Post. That's his insurance policy. To make sure the estate taxes don't go against him, et cetera is Washington Post. That's his insurance policy to make sure the estate taxes don't go against him, et cetera, et cetera.

That's his insurance policy. Anyway, so in this, at this table, you're not going, you would go, I would go, Kai's not going, so you guys would run the podcast with you up there hanging out with you. See what happens. Who knows? 56 million out of budget.

We could raise that kind of money. I got an idea. Speaking of that 99% 1% I'll put down 1% down payment. You take care of the rest of the 99% of the 28 million. Your level of genius is on a Hull. Yeah, I gotta tell you I feel like we can meet halfway there or semi-genius there's I don't care what anybody says about you in the comment section. You're your genius. Well, here's the problem He gets 10% of the parachute right Yeah, what I would do is we would do the one person 99,

but you get to sit outside. So you get like a view from the outside. It's even been 1,2500 miles an hour. You can imagine the whole, what do you call it when the lips come back? We see. That's like when we were going to fly. No, we lost that. There's a parachute in space, but doesn't mean in space.

There's no gravity. So you just keep going and going and going and all of a sudden, you run into a land And a in a place where it's like earth and aliens fall in love with you and Adam becomes the king the ruler of that planet Yeah, I'm in and yeah, yep, and he has 90 kids king sauce new nickname no more soy boy king sauce Brakes the Indian community might get upset. All right. Let's see what we got okay So apparently Tom is really emotionally attached to the Clay Travis story with St. Boob's and First Amendment and whatever happened with Jeffrey Tobin on the Zoom who got caught.

Was he publicly, did he actually, was it like live when he was or no? He was tubing that thing. His own, his CNN colleague saw it. He was either CNN or the New Yorker that he was on the meeting with. But no, they saw it. Yeah, for sure they saw masturbating. They saw him masturbating while he's doing a Zoom with his colleagues. Yes.

Yeah. And then they fired him and they brought him back. Right. But Clay Travis got fired because he said the only two things I trust is in the first amendment and boobs. Yeah. And they said him and they canned him. What do you think about that?

What do you think about that story What do you think about that story? So what's the story here? Go to it. I'm going to go to page four. You know, he got canned by the New York, uh, but his other job he got canned. But CNN brought him back after seven months. He said he went to therapy.

What kind of therapy do you go to after masturbating on Zoom? I mean, is there some sort of special camp you go to to learn not to do that? I know billions of people that need to go to therapy. No, I didn't write that business. I got, I got, there's a big business for it if it's, uh, Oh, it's big. What they do is they tell them how to adjust their camera, right?

Oh, my gosh. Anyway, you know, here's the problem with it. I like Tubin's work. You know, I do. I should he be let back. I'm going to say yes. I said, why not? Because here's the, I'm not surprised that he's back at all because CNN caters to one

particular audience. Someone that believes everything they say. He's part of that roster. Of course, they're going to bring him back. They're not going to make him pay a price any more extensively than he has to. He did the book on the OJ Simpson trial back in, you know, I think in the early, like around 2010, 2011 that book came out. And that's what effects based that there's, there's special series on, um, that OJ series,

which was phenomenal. The one where David Schwimmer played Robert Kardashian, John Travolta was Robert Shapiro. I like his work, you know, and I think CNN was smart to do it because their ratings are down 39%. That's a scary thought. 39% down since Trump, you know, know left office so they've got to do anything they can to get a little bit of Mojo a little publicity and this helped them so I'm not shocked they brought them back I kind of liked to been a like his personality and look what

I come back if I did something that hell no you wouldn't come back I mean I think I just want to crawl in or rock forever I think at that point you are so shameless you could care a lot probably you could care less listen yes what do you want to do about it you want to crawl in a rock forever. I think at that point, you are so shameless. You could care less. Probably, right? You could care less. Listen, yes, what do you want to do about it? Do you want to hire me or no? I do what you do, except I got caught on camera. You did it privately.

What do you want to do with it? Adam Trump. It's very embarrassing. Well, I mean, we watched the video of this guy Clay Travis. I don't, like, I don't understand the correlation here. Like what Clay Travis did, who I never heard of before this thing. I want to admit that you don't know Clay Travis. I don't know who that is. is. He's replacing Rush Limbaugh. Okay. Yeah. He's a sports. He's like a imagine a Dave Port noise style except a more out public supporter of a

Republican ideas. Well, let me tell you something. I actually agree with his stance on the first amendment and boobs. I love the first amendment. I love that I can talk about how much I love the first amendment. And I love that the fact that the first amendment allows me to say that I love boobs too. I'm with you, Clay Travis. So I think I'm on team Clay here. I'll let my man Zener do his little wink thing with tubing. You can get tubing with him on the left and the right.

And I'm just going to stick with Clay Travis on the boobs. If you wanna, you know, hang with Tuben. It's very impressive to see, by the way, Shana just texted you. She's probably gonna tell you, get off the podcast right now. Watch Shana's watching. Do the dishes.

So you're signing with Clay Travis right now. I just, I don't understand, like the Shana, if you're listening, hello, Shana, looking forward to seeing you. Number one, when this guy Clay Travis basically appeared on the program, that was in 2017. Tuban was doing his thing in 2020 during the whole Zoom Zoomathon.

So I don't, Tuban was an actual correspondent anchor when he had his own thing on the column. He's a legal expert. Okay, but he's consistently on the scene. You know what's the thing though? The way CNN did it to allow him to the lady lit the just see the interview how she interviewed him. She's like, um, she was shocked.

Tuban, let's just go in it and and cover this year. First of all, uh, uh, I think you're pretty embarrassed of what you did. And she's putting words and she's like feeding them the words. Oh, it's on. And, and, and, and, you know, last year in Zoom, while we were having the Zoom, when we went off, your camera stayed on, and when it stayed on, you were, can I say this? You were masterbiting. It's like, yes, I was, and I'm extremely apologetic to it. And you know, you should see how it is like an apology.

Like, so they were kind of helping them to come back and redeem and gain fans. But you know, for the rest of his life, he's gonna be like, you know, know, is he part of the crowd with who was that one? He heard me. Is he part of that community? Yeah.

That's part of the community. Probably bigger. So I think we should send him a PV Hermes shirt like we should send him a gift there. It shows you how stupid it is. It really, really how stupid they are. The smartest thing they can do, Adam sitting to your left. The smartest thing they can do is keep Clay Travis on as a guest every now and then because it would give them something to talk about the rest of the day.

And Torum got fired, Clay Travis got fired. I mean, that was in 2017. I don't know, like that's four years ago. Yeah, but does that even news right now? Well, no, no, no. Clay Travis is a smart marketer, made at news. That's what you call a great marketer. Credit to Clay Travis, the fact that we're even covering this is because he brought his

story of 17 and made himself relevant with this to say, this guy didn't get fired, but I got fired because of one comment. Oh, he put it out there. That's kind of how he's. He put it out there. He pointed it saying, I got fired for saying this, this guy, they're bringing it back. Okay. That's the problem with these extreme news.

All they are are echo chambers. That's all it is. So, of course, they're not going to have Clay Travis on there because even though it would be the smartest thing they could possibly do. By the way, here's what I want to do. There's so many crazy things that happen with Zoom. My kids this weekend out of all the movies that are choice to watch. They chose to watch the movie with what's the war with grandpa. Is that what the movie's called? Have you seen war with grandpa where Robert Deniro and this kid are going back and forth because

his daughter gave his son's room to him and they're going at it. And it's each is playing pranks on the other one. It's hilarious what happens there, right? And they paint Deniro to be like a made man, mobster. He's got to strap all this stuff. During the Zoom era, I wonder how many stupid stories happen? How many embarrassing things happen? Kai, do you have the one that you just sent me with the judge?

Have you seen this with the guy goes to court? This one old man doesn't know how to change the screen saver of his and the judge keeps saying, sir, watch this, just watch this here. Audio. Watch it is. A filter turned on. Watch it. Watch it.

You might want to. Can you flip the camera? Did you hear my judge? I don't know. Watch it. Is the cast and don't know how to remove it. That's serious. She's trying to.

Watch it. I'm prepared to go forward with it. That's serious. She's trying to, but what's the one prepared to go forward with it? I'm here live. That's not a cat. For the rear knee, you have a, can I, can you play one more time? Can I point something out? Yeah, good. This guy's to be nice to him himself right now. He's looking at something. It's either a phone or it's his tubing. Did you hear me, Judge? Can you hear me? I think it's a filter. It is. I don't know how to remove it. I've got my phone. I don't understand why no one wants to go back to the office.

I mean, zoom stocks. By the way, do you really want to miss out on this great opportunity with the sum like this? This is a gift right here to the world. This is a gift right here.

How did I do it yesterday? The way I did it, oh, here's how I did it. Go to, go to filters. Go this week. There's an N, not an M. M is Mumbai, yeah, N, there you go. Got it. Okay, go to this week and then go to views, view count.

Okay, so this is the most viewed videos for MSNBC in the last week. Let's see all the topics, what they're related to and what makes them money. First one is what? MAG. Second one is what? Trump, third one is what?

Trump, fourth one is what? Trump, keep going down, Kai. Fifth one is what? Trump, sixth, is what? Trump. Fourth one is what? Trump. Keep going down Kai. Fifth one is what? Trump. Sixth. Trump. Seventh. Trump. Eighth. Trump. Nine. Trump. Keep going. Ten is Trump. Eleven is Trump. Muller. Twelve is Trump. Go. Thirteen is Trump. Go. Next one. Fourteen is the only one that is not Trump. So 13 at a 13 is what? Trump. So we're going to put top 13 at a 13 stories for MSNBC's Trump. Now let's go to CNN. Let's see topics. I'm going to put right here. Trump what makes them money? Okay. Go to CNN. Do the same exact search as go to this week and then go to views. Let's see what they got. Okay. So Obama criticizes Republicans for embracing 2020 falsehoods.

Do you want to kind of say Trump? I think that's kind of Trump, but I'll let you pick and choose. Yes or no? Obama's last Trump. Okay, so that's Trump. Second one is second one, Trump? No, because it's Brazil.

Third one is not Trump. Fourth one is not Trump. Fifth one is Trump. So so far, hang on, we got what? Two out of five. No, it's two out of five is Trump. Three out of six keep going. It's not Trump, that's not even said.

It's an ad. That's an ad. So three out of six go, then it's next one is what? This is unacceptable, that's not Trump. No, that's not Trump. So three out of seven bill bar is not Trump. So three out of eight. There's times for it.

Two been three out of nine. Go keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Not so three out of 10, three out of 11, four out of 24%. No, so let's just say four out of 12, fair enough. By the way, respect to CNN, now go to Fox.

So four out of 12 for them is Trump. But MSNBC is 100% anti-Trump videos make them money. Now let's go to Fox News. Kai, type in Fox News. There's a lot of different Foxes. You got to type in Fox News. There you go. Okay, Fox News.

Go to, go to this week. God. Oh my gosh, I wonder how you search sometimes. Okay, all right, so let's see Fox's stories. Take a look at Fox's. First one is about what? Okay, Kamalaam is one. So I'm gonna give votes.

You keep telling me. Next one is about what? The Swawa, okay.. So I'm gonna give votes. You keep telling me next one is about what? Okay. I'd say next Kamala next. Kamala next. Next is the next one also Kamala. Okay, so four out of five is Kamala. Who's the next one right there? Tell Corrupting. So the bias free. So let's just say not not anything. Walk is them walk is a another common a story. Another common. I keep going. Another China. Okay, China one. AOC. AOC.

A Tucker story. But what is it about the Tucker story? This is everywhere. Chronicle magazine Pedro that are. Okay, let's just put American dream. Different story. Tucker story. Give me next one.

California California. And shelter. Hunter Biden, Steltzer, okay, so check this out. Check this out, check this out. So, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13. Now, watch this, how many stores were Joe Biden? Zero, okay. Joe Biden doesn't make money, folks.

Period, there is not a single Joe Biden story, not MSNBC, not cnn not fox because the current president is so boring that media make zero money talking about them they have to keep talking about msnbc's business model is trashing trump to make money thirteen out of thirteen i mean it's not even like a you know uh... affair he's got a monopoly there and you know what else was interesting is the views of the videos. MSNBC had some good views on those Trump videos.

CNN didn't have one view, I don't think, over a million. And Fox had at least five or six that were over a million, including one that was 2.1 million. So it's actually working for MSNBC. They're getting a lot of views. CNN's not even getting numbers on that. Somebody sitting there saying, guys, we got to make sure we talk about a Trump

because that's what's getting eyeballs and we gotta get the eyeballs to keep selling ads. Okay, I mean, that's interesting, to see that. So, you're on Clay Travis' team, you're on the... Toobens team. The rest of the folks. Let me say something about what's going on here.

So, breaking news, the media is a business. It's like old school journalism, of telling the facts and telling it like it is has gone the way of the dodo. It's all about pleasing your base, telling the things that they wanna hear, echo chambers, which you've talked about. That's the reason that MSNBC is just talking about Trump.

Let's talk about basically the one character that every one of our audience dislikes, okay? There's a Trump story. Clearly it's a business model. We're going to get clicks. Let's go with it. Fox, you know, Biden isn't going to get the click. So who do they talk about?

AOC, Kamala, Brian Stelter, CNN. So they too took the MSNBC business model and said, let's talk about who our audience dislikes. I think the most shocking difference is, the difference is is the difference is based on what we just saw. Mm-hmm. To give credit. To give credit. Fox speaks about the most different topics. Variety.

CNN is the second most different topics. MSN is last. I thought CNN was first. No, Fox, Fox has the most variety of stories. CNN had no uniformity. It was like 25% strong, but there's a bunch of others. Well, what I didn't do was, I didn't do it the way I did it with this.

The only thing that was consistent here was Kamala. But everything else was, the way I did it here, their Trump was four out of 12. And then it had a couple that was two or three. So, but these guys are variety. Biden, Stelter, California, Tucker, AOC, China. Yeah, but it's variety. I get it because there's different topics, but the uniformity there is that they're all

topics that their audience is not going to appreciate. Meaning, they don't like AOC, they don't like Kamala, they don't like Brian's daughter. Yeah, but they're playing to their base in a certain sort of way. So, let me ask you a question to you. So, do you think CNN should take a play out of the MSNBC playbook? Well, the fact that their ratings are down 30%. They may want to consider that.

They may want to consider doing that. Yeah. That's actually what I'm most shocked about is it's CNN isn't doing that. The fact that they're not doing that. Yeah, meaning they're maybe not as left as you was just fired, if that's the case. Listen, there's only so long you can go without

viewership until somebody fires you. Yeah, well, that also the good and the bad of Biden is the people. Whether you like Biden or not, a part of the reason why he was elected was because he's not gonna be in the news and tweeting and doing so. I think many people will disagree with you, but that's what they're gonna be. 80 million people that probably do a good thing. I don't think so.

What do you mean? Why do you think he was elected? I don a good thing. I don't think so. You know, I don't know. What do you mean? Why do you think he was a left thinker? I don't think so. I don't think so. I think it's the one of the best quotes I heard like eight years ago is people don't vote for somebody. They vote against someone, meaning they voted against Trump.

They didn't vote because they wanted a guy to become. They voted because the media did a fantastic job selling all the problems in America on Trump. By the way, this is coming from a guy that right now if you had to choose Curiosity, I'm gonna ask everybody here this question. See what you're gonna say Would you rather have a dissentist when 2024 or a Trump when 2024 if Desantis runs 2023 with right plans would you consider voting for him? Yes, I would. You would consider voting for him. You're saying, right? I'm asking Trump?

Yeah. No, no, no, not rather than Trump. DeSantis versus Biden, which is based on what he's done over the last 18 months, yes, I would. You would consider voting for DeSantis. Yes, I would. That's the point. So, just the fact that you're saying yes, I would ought to tell the Republican Party that

there's a camp like you that would consider the Santis, what is the likelihood of even if Trump's policies in every mathematical calculation we run, benefits you, your family, your future family, your kids, in every possible way benefits Adam would you vote for Trump in 2024? Highly likely. Highly likely no. Because emotional, you can't stand it. I don't know, but you don't like it emotionally.

It's just go to all emotion. It's time to move on from him. Like what are you gonna, it's not gonna remix a bad song. No, that's not what I ask you ask you. Very simple question. What I'm asking you is, you to me are more the American voter than anybody else.

You're the American voter, okay? If we win you, we win an election. I agree. Because you could win people election I agree because you're the good win people like me with a descent that's what I'm saying what you can't win people like me that's wrong that's I'm that there's no shots you're being taken I'm talking to like a reasonable conversation yeah so what I agree what I'm trying to say to you is the the the the people have to decide who they can convert that's on the middle to flip I don't a lot of Republicans that voted for

Obama because they wanted to have a dream. First time to say what, hey, we got a first black president to tell my kids anybody can become a president. I think that's a good story. I'm willing to vote for it once. I don't know about second time. If he screws up, I'm not gonna vote the second time. I kind of like his dream story.

I kind of like what he's doing. But there's no way in the world if everything you wrote on a piece of paper, I want all these policies. And if Trump was able to do every policy you want it, and Biden didn't want to do it, you still wouldn't vote for Trump. If you're actually looking at policies black and white,

then yeah, I would consider. But Trump's behind the policies. Yeah, well, policies are obviously very important, but let's not, we can pretend all we want, but it's not like I agree with all his policies. So, what I'm saying is, but the point I'm trying to make to is, there is folks like you in America, there's people that are not willing to vote for the guy,

just because they don't like the guy. Even if the policies are like that. Yeah, 80 million plus people, I agree. That's they voted against him. They nobody voted for Biden. There's no way in the world, Biden wins anything else ever. Yeah, that's how polarizing Trump is. That is that devices of a care.

That's how great of a job the media did to hate this guy. That's how fantastic of a job the media did to hate this guy. Correct. They get credit for it. You just saw the great things he did. You just saw the show. You see 13 for 13. Partially the media, but you're given the media.

Partially the media. You're given the media a lot of credit did. You just obviously, 13 for 13. Partially the media, but you're giving the media. Partially the media. You're giving the media a lot of credit here. Oh, there's no part. Partially did a lot of shooting himself before it's too. Partially the media. Wouldn't partially, who convinced you of Russia for three years? Trump? No.

Partially the media. You're saying Trump has no part. Yeah, but the media, but the media is the story of the media. What I'm asking you is who convinced you of Russia? Trump did, who even made us talk about Russia and Trump who mostly the media is it no no, it's not mostly It's only the media well Trump did some stuff to make you question No like the fact that he would never bro if ever if I had a and like was

Cosing the ditch say let's just a little let's just say so I've interviewed Michael and Michael and my friends He's right. He's a mobster. Yeah, let's just say I've interviewed Sam you to pass before and let's just say we've had an exchange and text Okay, hey We're on our way. We'll see there shortly. Hey, I just want to show you. Here's what's going on Imagine that being used 20 years from now to say he's connected to the mob We have to be care and I'm running for governor and they say he's connected to the mob Hey, you to be care. And I'm running for governor and they say, he's connected to the mob. Hey, you know, but the point is, anything and everything to you is,

and then imagine, now I want you to actually think about this. Go to 2041. It's 2041. I got 28 kids. I got five wives, I got 119 cats. Okay, so it's 2041. It's 2041. All right.

And we did, I'm gonna run for office. I'm gonna, it's not gonna happen, but I'm gonna run for office. I don't have any desire to run for governor, but I'm gonna run for office. Let's just say, story comes back out. Do you want a made man as a governor? Why is he so close to the mob?

Why is he down so many? Why do they trust him? Do you trust a man that's trusted by the mob? Those campaigns by the way I as a campaign guy right just gave them ideas if I ever run that people like Shit, no, I don't want someone like that now Some of the people who like mob movies they may say kind of want that girl my You guys what a freaking compliment to give on the podcast. You be like, the moral of the story is media controls it all.

Period. Media knows how to make anybody look at my dad told me in America, Patrick, here's one thing you need to know about America. America will turn into hero on one day and they're going to turn you into zero the next day. And if they want to, they'll lift you back up, but they do it. You don't control that. They're going to be able to do it.

This is why you've got to be able to control the narrative. So that's all I'm saying about this year. The point is whether it's him or the Santis, they got to start thinking from that. I'll make a quick point. Talk about this scenario. What if we put the energy and the resources behind an investigation into any links to Russia that Biden has or his son that they did with Trump. Could you imagine what they would find out?

I mean, if the roles were reversed and there was actually maybe some stuff to actually investigate and to find, could you imagine? Of course, that will never ever ever happen. You're at one party done that. What do you mean? You don't think they've never done that? Did they cover the...

Oh my gosh. No, they have. There's a part of you, like if there's anything that upsets the audience, like for me, I will say Trump screwed up in this area. You cannot tell me the level of bias. Like if Donald Trump Jr. was caught using the N-word in text, yeah, big dog, you know, if he was, how long would have the media share that for the next six months?

How long? How long would you have heard that story? For how long? How long would you? All over the news. What have you heard about the Hunter Biden? Have you seen those texts? I have not.

You know why you haven't seen the text? Because you probably watch a lot of CNN and MSN. I watch only YouTube. So then you haven't seen that because on the YouTube short clips of CNN and MSNBC, I watch Fox, and there's haven't seen anything on Fox. There is, of course, it would cover it, but Fox doesn't go like others do and say millions of times of the same MSNBC. I watch Fox News. I haven't seen anything on Fox. There is, of course, it would cover it, but Fox doesn't go like others doing,

say millions of times of the same thing about Russia. They cover it and they move on to the next door. What do you mean? How many times did Fox News cover Benghazi? And then once Hillary Clinton was out, but you know, I defend people that's indefensible. People died.

Yeah. You tell my lives. How many times they talk about Hillary's emails in Benghazi? Because it was true. Listen, if you're gonna call out the email... Call out your ex-sides. Female Hunter by the side. By the email ended up being true.

The email ended up being true. The emails of Hillary Clinton that she trashed them. And that was true, just so you know that. The 33,000 emails, that's an accurate story. That's not a dossier. The Russia is a fake news. Okay, that is fake news. The story about Hunter Biden and his laptop is true news.

That is not fake, those text messages are real, right? That's not like a fake thing. So fake stories, they market the hell out of it. True stories, they kind of stay away from it. There's a little bit of hypocrisy there. By the way, again, I'm telling you guys, if there's ever been a time for a media platform to just come out and tell both sides of the stories,

but the audience can make a decision for themselves. Yeah, it's now. Did he say time to do it? It's a time. Yeah, both sides of the story. The America is craving common sense. They're just looking for that, by the way. Did you guys see the story over the weekend?

And I know this guy very well personally. His name is Christopher Sein. He was an anchor in Alabama. Okay, in Birmingham, he was the 10 o'clock anchor and he's from Alabama. He played football at Alabama. I knew him because he used to work at ABC and Phoenix. Great guy, unbelievable family man, three kids. He was the guy that broke the story of Loretta Lynch

on the tarmac at Sky Harbor Airport in 2016. Okay, and that Bill Clinton got out of his plane in a 112 degree heat, walked over and spent 20 minutes in the plane with Loretta Lynch when they were investigating Hillary and the email server Okay, he received tons of death threats tons of credible death threats because he wrote a book about it And when he went on the publicity tour they were coming to You're about to a real and he died seriously. He you hear about this guy

Okay, he died. I don't know. He's not he's dead. Okay I don't know if he's dead. Okay. And, and, and, I, I, it, they're saying he committed suicide. That's the part of the story. Which makes no sense of anybody knows him.

It makes no sense. It's almost physically impossible to convince somebody that knows him that he committed suicide. The guy loved life. He loved his family more than he can imagine. He was yucking it up with his coworkers on Friday night talking about what they were going to do that weekend. The next morning he's dead. So, I don't know, that's all I got,

but he was a great guy, resting peace, great family. How many people around the Clintons? If you say something, I know people that come into this. As if the moment you say something about you're like, my life's not worth it, let me take my own life. It's either that or it's something else. That's the speculation part, huh?

Look, you ever had a friend in school or a colleague or something where every time somebody got close to that person, either their life got worse or their business got worse. After about a few years, you have to sit there and say, dude, does this guy really want the best for me or not? There's something going on there.

Like for example, let's just say, you and and I start you've never hung out with me before. Okay. We start hanging out together. Next thing I know you're gaining 30 pounds. Next thing I know you're savings depleted. Next thing I know you picked up a lot of bad habits. Next thing I know you got a couple of DUIs you're getting arrested. You're doing stupid things that happen into your life. Next thing I know you're creating a lot of new enemies that you never had before. And then same story here, same story there, same story where like 45 people is some going on over there, right?

There's something going on over there, but I don't even wanna go to that story. You just kinda brought it up. All I'm saying is MSNBC 13, 413, CNM 4 4 12, Fox, 5 4, 5 4 13 is Kamala, which is what CNN reason why Fox is doing Kamala last week is because of the whole border thing where he went and she interviewed with who's a person at the who was the person that interviewed Kamala last week. It was a last your whole. Last your whole. And last your whole who is a fan of Kamala's. That's totally their friends.

Yeah. And at the end he says, how come you're not going to the border and she says, what, we've been to the border. Her response is ridiculous. Yeah, we're been to the border and he says, no, no, how come you haven't been to the border? Because I don't want to bring it the attention. Because it,

no, she goes, I also haven't been to Europe. But what are you gonna say? Oh yeah, we got it. So it was just, that's the part of it where it's probably she was covered five times. I don't know, look, all I'm saying is to Europe. But what are you going to say? It was just that's the part of it words. Probably she was covered five times. I don't know. Look all I'm saying is to me. What do you think her reason is that she hasn't gone to the border? Because if she does go to the border, everybody has to cover it. And if everybody covers it, it shows how ugly it is and makes the current administration look like crap. And it gives the prior

administration to say, here's what we did. Look what the hell is going on today under their regime. Look what's on today under their regime. Look what's going on under their regime. Politics. And she doesn't have the power. She doesn't have the chance to handle a problem like that. She knows she's way in over her head on that issue. She has no clue what she's doing regarding the border.

Yeah, I mean, it is what it is. At this point, we'll see what's gonna happen there. Let me go to the woke story. I saw the story that I thought it was a very good story to share with everybody. This story was given to me by Tom Mell's work. Let's go to page five. Tom sent me this story.

I read in the middle of the night. Did I send it to you? I said, read this story here. It's a story advice to grads. Be warriors, not walksters. Scott Galloway, who's a current professor at NYU. The guy is an absolute stud of a guy. And I don't know if I wanna read this whole thing.

How long would it take me to read this story? I'm gonna read this story. I wanna read this story. So check this out. I'm a fast reader so we'll go through it together. Oh, you're gonna read the whole other video. I'm gonna read this. I'm gonna read this.

Last week on my way to eat Jack's wife, Frida, awesome and so-ho, a young woman in purple gown with older versions of herself until nearly ran over me. Ran me over. It's that time of year. Approximately four million young adults and their loved ones will be forced to listen to someone my age tell them how to clean up the mess of our generations leaving for them, right? My bromide, be warriors, not wokesters, be mentally and physically, physically warriors, lift heavy weights and run-long

distances in the gym and in your mind. Many tasks you'll be asked to perform early in your career will be tedious. Don't do what you are asked to do, but what you're capable of doing. Think of it as boot camp before being sent to battle as there are millions of other warriors fighting to win the same region of prosperity.

Get strong, really strong. You should be able to walk in the room and believe you could overpower outrun outlast every person that robot. I love that sentence right there. Let me read it one more time. You should be able to walk into a room and believe you could overpower outrun or outlast every person in that room. What a great word.

Outlast. My first job was I want Morgan Stanley Deanwooder, great place to have a first job at. I wasn't as well educated as the other junior and analyst. My fault, UCLA is a sink or swim place. I decided to neither, neither in smoke, pot and tread water. Anyway, add more again, every other week I'd go to work Tuesday mornings and not leave until Wednesday night.

Go to work Tuesday morning and not leave work to Wednesday night. Nobody was at home waiting for me. I had no real hobbies and in your 20s, if you don't tell yourself otherwise, you can work 30 hours straight easily. 30 hours straight this guy, right? Santa message to your colleagues that you came to play. Many of you will have a gag reflex

at my boomer capitalist mentality or some bullshit. No, it's America, platform to deploy skills and grit to add value and garner resources. Every day, America becomes more like itself and becomes a better country for people who have resources or influence. And what of balance? Fine. Many people who thoughtfully calibrate the trade-off and fashion a good life for themselves

and their families without being obsessed would work and money. Assume you are not that person. If you are in your 20s and reading this newsletter, you don't want balance, you're after influence and relevance. The world isn't yours for the taking, but for the trying, try hard, really hard. Then it goes into stoicism, talking about the power of stoicism, meaning control your emotions, all that other stuff.

Balances amid their only trade-offs, having balance at my age as a function of lacking it at your age, your call. Let me read that one more time. Having balance at my age as a function of lacking it at your age. You're called, let me read that one more time. Having balance at my age, he's a boomer right now, he's an older guy. Having balance at my age is a function of lacking it at your age, meaning grads, 22-year-olds. You're called personal life work. The monk warrior, intelligence is the ability to hold two contrary thoughts concurrently. This sounds easier than it is.

Our brains are wired for quick assessment. We're descended from millions of generations of creatures who's ability to synthesize, novel stimuli with a lifetime's data, and formulate a faster than thought response, kept us from becoming another creature's dinner. Until recently, when strangers encountered each other, only one left alive. But that feature is also a bug. When we react faster than thought, we don't react thoughtfully.

We optimize for short term emotional satisfaction rather than a long term prosperity. Let me say that one more time. We optimize for short term emotional satisfaction rather than long term prosperity. There's a lot of discussion rethought of what it makes. It means to be woke. Some of it is well found it. some of it is hyperbolic. Yes, be awake to the privileges and prejudices that surround you and rigorously honest about the world you're inheriting.

But the word has lost its original meaning. Beyond the media noise and in city's pattern is emerging in academic and professional setting. The instance on filtering everything through the lens of personal identity and experience, the prioritization of victimhood, the belief that to be offended is to be right. Structural racism is real and our Amazon, becomes that so go a little bit lower, there's a part of it I really wanna cover here,

reacting to every slight and demanding satisfaction from every insult is what system wants you to do. Joining the Twitter mob season on a hapless, middle manager or an out of touch-touch English professor may feel like justice, but it's just a cheap drip of dopamine loss in an ocean of social media profits. Be a warrior. Before you resort to violence, make a thoughtful assessment.

Registered the intention, I was like, go a little lower what he says, accomplishments, there's a part of it that I love what he said. He says in life, he gives it to three different things. Go lower, go lower, go lower. There's three things he said. He says in at your age it to three different things. Gollor, gollor, gollor, there's three things he said. He says in at your age it's about relationship, it's about fitness, and it's about relationship fitness.

What's the other word you said? Work, relationship and fitness. Commit to those three things at that age. Work, relationship and fitness. Yes, and I'm talking to T. Contico comes into the gym. I already read this article. He says that, what's more important? This kid is nine years old.

He says, Daddy, what's more important? It's an important for me to work out my brain or my muscles. What a great question to ask nine-year-old kid. I said, Daddy, what do you think? He says, I think it's brains. He says, Dylan spends too much time on his muscles. I think for me it's brains. I said, really?

Yeah. I said, you know what's important in life? He said, what? I gave him my whole lead respect and improved love. Courage was in tolerance understanding. I said, I read an article by this guy named Scott Gall, what? I gave him my whole lead respect and improved love. Courage was in tolerance understanding. I said, I read an article by this guy named Scott Galway. I think I'm going to share it with you. What's that?

He said, there's three things you got to put your time into. It's hard work. It's fitness and it's relationships. Those are the three things you got to put your value into. The info he shared in this article was so powerful that it got me to transfer to my kids because it was that powerful of content to share. What are your thoughts on this article? You know, he's so articulate, so thoughtful.

It took a lot of guts for him to write that. And clearly, these are his beliefs, but to stand up like that as a professor at NYU, it would be interesting to see with the reaction from his colleagues is, but, you know, how can you argue against what he said? How can you take anything, all the, what he laid out in that newsletter, how could you

make a rational argument against any of it? Here's the answer. You cannot. Okay? And right now the country is divided into two different types of people. It's people like that follow the doctrine of what he is talking about here and want to excel, want to achieve, want to bust their ass. If things don't work out, if you fail along the way, it happens.

You dust yourself off and you keep going. That's what's called America. And then you have this other loud minority, loud, that wants everything handed to them. They want to point out all the imbalance and everything. I think there's a tipping point at some point in this country. I'm praying that there is. You have another voice or reason that's out there, Bill Mar, and I've seen Scott Galloway on. Love what works he's doing right now.

Yep, and I've seen Galloway on his show, and he had a great point. He was on Bill Mar show in March, and here's how he describes wokeism. He goes, what we have right now is an industrial shaming culture, making a caricature of comments, and then using that to extract to an ugly place so you can get virtue points.

And the moment you're offended, you feel like you're right, you know, that you have the right to be right about the issue. So I hope his voice gets stronger, gets louder. I just don't think rational Americans can take much more of this. We have a situation in our city right now in Manhattan Beach. That's reaching a very, very critical tipping point. Having something to do, which what happened in the city, over 100 years ago, that nobody that lives there now had anything to do with it involving this place called Bruce's

Beach. And it was once owned by a black family, and then they lost it, and now they're going to get it back, et cetera. But it's turned into something really, really ugly. So, you know, if you're a concerned citizen, you're reaching out to the city council, and I'm just, I'm emailing him saying, hey, look, it's time for common sense to prevail.

You know, because there's no common sense out there, anywhere, there's just in politics, in the media or anywhere. So, kudos to him, he's a voice of reason. And like I said, I just don't think you can argue with it even though it's Goes against everything that his fellow professors believe. What do you think? Yeah, Matt respect has got Galway here I think when he he talks about work fitness and relationships something that I always talk about is you know mind body soul So like obviously, you know work your mind work your body and you know be fit but work your soul

That's relationships and being a good person and focusing on what you're doing. So respect on that. I don't think there's anyone who would argue with the power of mind, body, soul, or in his case, work, fitness, relationships. That's something that stuck out to me with that is the millions of years of quick reactions and quick processing stimuli to say,

oh shit, that's a saber-to-tiger. I gotta run. Or, oh my God, that's a dinosaur. I gotta go. And that's a saber-to-tiger, I gotta run. Or, oh my god, that's a dinosaur, I gotta go. And that's essentially the good and the bad of what we have today with all the Twitter mob and the keyboard warriors and the feelings on your fingertips is you can see something, boom, come, I hate that guy. Oh, he's a piece of shit.

He should be canceled. Like, the quick nature of being able to just basically authorize your feelings to the outside world because of this, you know, we could say a lot of good things about this, but this basically can get you in a lot of trouble too. So the Twitter mob and the cancel culture mob is a real thing these days. And I totally agree with Scott.

The problem is, you know, Gen Z, who is basically who he's talking to, because this is at a graduation speech, where is this exactly? No, he just wrote it. Okay, but this is advice to grad. Absolutely. Or a graduating college. So, your daughter just graduated.

She's Gen Z. Do you know the other word for the Gen Z? Like I'm a millennial. You're a Gen X. You're a Gen X, right? You know the other word for Gen Z is the eye gen as in iPhone generation. Like, there's an entire generation of people called the eye gen, meaning they're born with an iPhone in their hand. So as much as I want to understand where he's coming from, you've

got millions and millions and millions of young Americans, young people around the world that are born with this literally in their hand, Okay? And it's hard to escape this. It's hard to say, yeah, yeah, totally. I'll check my feelings and process it and give it 24 hours. And then I'll, like, used to talk about, you told a story about if you were going to fight with your wife. And if before you had a phone and you were leaving the office, you'd have a half hour to process it and cool off.

Now these days, it's like, fuck you, I'm on my way home. And now it's like, take a freaking second to relax. That's also the problem with having this and everything at your fingertips is that you can just respond to anything immediately. You see something online? Comment this like, cancel, and that's the good and the bad of having the iPhone and being an iGET. And I think that's one of the reasons why he and so many others are pushing the concept of stoicism. Stoicism to me is a very necessary thing to be taught nowadays. Kai, is there schools that teach stoicism as a course,

not just like in a philosophy course? Like is there a course you can take in school about how to be a stoic or no? Is there probably not in school, right? I think there's so much benefit to it. I read Meditations years ago. I don't know how many years ago. I'm really let me tell you I've read it so many times Have you had a chance? Yeah, you tell me to get it I read so meditations when I read I'm like man

You know a part of me watching my dad. It's a part of like he is a natural stoic, right? There's a lot of benefits to thinking that way because nowadays if you are Not a stoic and you don't know how to control your emotions, you will be driven insane, constantly worried about things you have zero control over. The ability to manage your emotions on things you have no control over is such an invaluable skill set today. It is so valuable today for your career, for your relationships, for being an investor,

for being an entrepreneur, for being a businessman, for being a human being, for being a parent, in every possible way, it's a lot of work, but I love the article. By the way, I just sent the link in the chat box. If you're looking at it, you can go subscribe to his newsletter. I highly recommend you going out there and doing that. He's got a lot of great commentary out there.

Did you ever see this before? What's that? This, things you control, things great commentary out there. Did you ever see this before? What's that? This, uh, things you control, things you don't control. Things that matter. And then at the tipping point in the very middle, that's where you should focus, meaning control what matters. If you can't control it, you can't control it. If it doesn't matter, then why are you focusing on it? So focus on things you can control and that matter. If you can't control it, and if it doesn't matter, why are you spending time on it?

Brilliant. So shout out to Marcus Aurelius. I love it. Awesome. Let's go to the Netanyahu story page 10. Adam, I want to get your commentary on this. Your thoughts. Obviously it happened very quickly.

You told us this was kind of, has been in the works for a while, but let's go through it. Bottom of page 10, Netanyahu as Prime Minister after Israeli Parliament votes to form a new coalition government. He's out as Prime Minister, business insider story. The Israeli Parliament on Sunday voted to form a new coalition government on seeding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has led the country for the last 12 years.

Naftali Bennett, a long time Netanyahu ally, turned adversary, assumed the role of Prime Minister and was sworn in Sunday. Bennett is the head of the country's right wing, Yamuna Party, and is an ultra-nationalist multimillion according to the AP. NetNiahu sat quietly during the vote. After the vote, he shook Bennett's hand and briefly sat in opposition's leader's chair before he walked out of the chamber. So that's how much we have here in the story.

Adam, what's really going on there? Okay, so what's going on here? And I got a lot of notes here, and I'll try to break this down into three major parts. So obviously Israel and everything that was happening, Gaza has been all up in the news for the last couple of months. But everything that's been going on with BB Netanyahu is really a couple of years they've been trying to get him out of office. And 12 years he's been in power.

That's a long time, especially for a democracy. So let me start off with saying this. I'm very pro-Israel. The more that I've dug deeper into the subject, look where Israel is. Look who its neighbors are. To the north, you got Lebanon and Syria. Stable? No. To the right, you got Lebanon and Syria. Stable?

No. To the right, you've got Jordan, pretty stable, South Egypt, pretty unstable. You got Iran, you got Afghanistan, you've got Saudi Arabia. Name one of those countries, if you're an American. Can pull up the map of Israel while the audience can see people. Name one of those countries, if you're an American and you're pro-American, that has your back, that has your best interest. Out of any of those countries, you can name one, Israel.

So there are the only democracy in the Middle East. They're in the literally the most dangerous part of the world. You've come from Iran, you understand how dangerous they are. People don't understand that the Sunnis are fighting with the Shiites and then you get the Kurds and you got different sex and different types of people and the fact that Israel in the middle of all that is a democracy. That should just tell you everything you need to know about democracy. Are they perfect?

No. Do they have issues in the country just like America? Yes. That moves on to the second thing. They have issues in this country. Just like America, there's Trump and then on the left, you know, you've got Biden and you've got Obama and then you've Trump, and then on the left, you've got Biden and you got Obama and then you got AOC, and on the right you got Ted Cruz. Essentially, the best way to understand Israeli politics

is let's use American politics to basically understand what's going on there. Netanyahu was Trump, okay? He's been in power for a long time. If you Trump will ray you. I don't, I mean, he was, I mean, I'm just using modern times. He's more of a Trump type of ultra-nationalist, you know, sort of hard-line.

Because that's, that's, for the person that doesn't know, if you say Netanyahu is Trump, they go to one place. So, you see more of a extreme like personality, like a Trump, or would you say? No, he's a little more stoic than a Trump. If you, you know, he's more like a Reagan, maybe, you know, he's a modern day Reagan. Okay, first.

So they're just saying, they're rising like Trump. He's very polarizing. He is polarizing with Trump. He is polarizing with Trump. Okay, fair enough, okay. Okay, come, yeah. So just understand that they put a coalition together

and I'm trying to use an American terminology to bake down what's going on in Israel. For today's world, I'm saying, let's just pretend for the sake of conversation, Netanyahu was a Trump, okay? So this coalition government they put together, imagine if Bernie Sanders, AOC, Ilhan Omar on the left, teamed up with Joe Biden, Obama, and then on the right Ted

Cruz, Mitt Robney, sort of the rhinos. And they all came together to form a coalition government with one purpose and one purpose only to get Netanyahu, aka Trump out of there. And they did it by a 60 to 59 margin, by one vote, very slim margin. But basically it's just, this is the most diverse government in Israeli history. That's how much all these sides of the spectrum left, center and right, basically said

it's time for Netanyahu to go. Okay, so the person that's actually the prime minister right now, Nafthali Bennett is actually further right than Netanyahu. So it'd be like a Ted Cruz or who's further right than Trump. That's a good way of putting it. Yeah, sure. Because now the prime minister, he's gonna be the prime minister for two years.

This is person who is very ultra nationalist, sort of even right, more right wing than Netanyahu. Now, for the first time ever, there's a large Arab contingency in Israel. And this is actually the first time that they're going to have a play in the government. It's a pretty big deal. So, there's tent, like that we talked about, the tensions in Gaza, that thing needs to be rectified. So, as much as pro-Israel as I am, as much as I am in lover of democracy, and how they are a beacon of hope in the Middle East, what's happening in Gaza is not sustainable

and what's happening with the settlements is not sustainable. There needs to be a two-state solution at some point. And if it takes having a coalition government who are maybe open to sharing ideas with one another rather than one hardliner and BB Netanyahu, I think that's something that Israelis are yearning for. And we'll see if they can make anything worse. But it's not gonna be easy.

Steve Anas, if you guys are listening, Stephen Anas, if you're listening to this, Steve Levis just gave a hundred bucks and Anas is given about just 20s today. If you guys are listening, if you have strong opinions about what just took place in Israel, put a comment here if I'll see you if you're on in Texas at 310-340-1132.

We may just call you guys up if we got both of you 310-340-1132. Go ahead, Tom. You mentioned the coalitions, and I guess this would be my question. If you have a coalition government with all these extreme personalities and ideas, and your one objective is to get a guy out and you achieve that how do you govern because now you're on opposite ends of the spectrum and now you have to run a country and you have to face some very serious issues like iran

and what's going on you know as far as trying to prevent them from having a nuclear bomb which is what net and yahu passionately did by the way didn't net net naya who say he'd be reinstated by august i think i'm just joking yeah that's Trump's idea. But he did say to quote Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'll be back. He did.

He gave it a higher speech in Hebrew, and he said three words in English. I'll be back. So Netanyahu is not going anywhere. He's pissed. This is why I'm kind of giving the Trump analogy. I'm not saying he's as polarizing, or maybe he is as polarizing as Trump,

but Netanyahu is a character who's been in his really politics for 12 years. he seemed extremely diplomatic agreed a to me on the world stage on the world stage in Israel He can be very divisive. He went scorched earth on his exit press conference the other day He went scorched earth and he attacked Biden in that he went right after Biden Regarding Iran so I'm just curious how this new government is a good move and he attacked Biden in that. He went right after Biden, regarding Iran. So I'm just curious how this new government and that new- Is that a good move?

I think it's a good move, because- Yeah, I like it. I show strength, that's for sure. Not only show strength, he's saying like you guys better keep an eye out on what's going on with Iran if the negotiations continues with Iran, because if you as an Iran get closer, what place is a more dangerous place to be in Israel?

Well, because they would probably use their damn nuke. You know, I mean, that's their whole idea for having it. So it'll be interesting to see what kind of influence he has going for, because, you know, when you're in power for 12 years, it's hard to give it up. And how the new coalition government is gonna handle Iran.

Let's talk about our friend Scott Gallowet to bring that back. One of his major three categories that he said he should focus on his relationship. So speaking of relationships, Netanyahu had a pretty damn good relationship with Trump. To the fact when Biden won election, you know how long it took him to call BB Netanyahu? Three weeks. Three weeks to call one of your greatest allies to call him. He's probably got a rotary phone, doesn't he know how to use a cell phone.

And maybe that's what it is. You know how long it took him to call this enough tally-benit, one day. So the, the, the Democrat party, here's a, here's a message to all my Democratic party friends here in America. The Democratic party is slowly but surely becoming the anti-Israel party. And that's something that's very concerning as someone who has voted Democrat and has pro-Israel. It's becoming more and more likely that Jewish people-

Steve, I'm going to call on us, hang tight. All right. Are you going to start hearing some of the rhetoric that's coming out of the left wing of the Democratic Party and saying, I can't stand for that. I'm going to start looking towards the right because all of my Orthodox Jewish friends or any conservative Jewish friends their Republicans and 75% of Jews are more liberal so if that tips it could be an issue it could be an issue and you're seeing a lot of folks on the left Kind of talk about what the hell is going on over there in an area that we all agree on yeah, Steve and ask can you guys hear me?

Yeah, here you will Our friends are back Steve. Can you hear me as well? I heard a ask can you guys hear me yeah here you will uh... uh... our friend or back steve can you hear me as well i heard a nice can you hear me as well steve do we have you on i think we just lost to hang tight for me one second let me call steve uh... yeah even uh... what's his name you know who's uh... your call has been formed come on steve fed a bill steve texted as he text that's but uh... uh but let me see here. Give me one second.

You know, you never doubted for a second where Trump stood on Israel ever. Your call has been forward. Okay, guys, if you're listening, just call that number back. Both of you guys will get your own. You never doubted what he stood. On Israel, I mean, he was probably the most

friendly president for Israel ever. I mean, ever. Look, when you got the Russell Brand love Trump, no, the Bill Mar love Trump. No, no, all in agreement on what's going on right now with the Democratic Party on positions there. Take like what the hell are you doing? It's almost like, dude, what are you doing? You're fending the family. You know what I mean? Like, hey, you're not making a family look that.

I don't stand for that. I don't stand, I'm willing to defend my side to a point, but not for this. I've been a diehard Laker fan for my entire life. Since the day I came to the States, I came November 28, 1990. You know what happened a couple months after that? It's the Bulls Lakers Final.

It's the Bulls Lakers Final. It's the Georgia going up over San Perkins, right? It's pretty tucky, right? I watched that on black and white TV when that took place. And I'm a diehard Laker fan. I was devastated when the Lakers lost. I'd just been to the States for a few months when I saw that again.

I'm like, this is this sucks. My team just lost to this guy named Michael. Apparently everybody calls him the greatest. And that was his first championship. I watch Michael win every single championship back-to-back, rocket's rockets, back-to-back, and then everybody else came right after Jordan when he left. I'm a Laker fan, but even as a Laker fan,

it's the first time the last two years. I have not rooted for them. Because I don't like how the game is being manipulated into fans, we have to agree on one side just to support the NBA and how much it's in my face today. I can't just enjoy game anymore. As a fan, I've stepped away from the team for the current time being.

I may come back, but I'm not rooting for the Lakers, but when they lost, I said, good for the sons, go go on a championship, do whatever you got to be doing, right? By the way, who you choosing to win the whole thing between the teams that are left? Well, I got Milwaukee winning that series because of the injuries. You got Milwaukee winning it all. Winning that series. No, winning that series. Okay, so I'm just breaking it down, round by round.

I love Atlanta. There are fun teams to watch, but I think if Milwaukee beats the nets, they're coming out of the east. I don't think the Clippers are going to beat Utah. I think maybe there's an issue with Coise Neat knee and Utah's not going to lose it at home. So I'm going with the suns over Utah and the western finals and beating the bucks in the NBA finals. Give me the suns.

I'm going to take a shocker alert. I'm going to take Brooklyn, even though the Kyrie's hurt and that Hardin hasn't been back yet. I know you said that it is zero percent chance tom uh... but as long as one of one of those two guys are healthy kevin's or ant looks ridiculous right now so i'm i'm hope i'm hoping what you want to be i'm hoping mowaki wins is who i'm hoping for uh... uh... but i want to see back to your analogy with why you're you know

you've been a lifelong lakers fan and now for the last few years you're not exactly rooting for the lakeers i think they're going to that right now i think i think both sides i think this is the power of being an independent free thinker that if you're just only saying i'm on this side i'm on the i'm a democrat and i agree with everything or i'm a republican but and i agree with everything it's very dangerous tell me which part of policies on the right has changed policies noticies, not positions, not personality, policies.

You're saying what? Since Trump has been in office? Yes, policies, policies. For example, let me explain to what I mean by this. Did the right under Trump, all of a sudden go for pro-life to pro-choice? Did the right, all of a sudden under under Trump, go from low taxes to high taxes? Did the right, under Trump, all of a sudden, go from protecting the country with security to now?

No, let's not do military. Did the right, under Trump, all of a sudden, go away from freedom of speech to now, you're being controlled? So what policies change? What policy change under Obama? What policy change? I didn't say Obama, I'm saying under Biden.

No, I'm saying what policy? I don't think either Side has changed policies but it is a one on a but it is but the problem that protecting the protection of Israel has always been unanimous Okay, there used to be a time there used to be a time I send that video to you What we talked about it right where a lot of the rich country clubs back in the days Were ran by Republicans and they did not allow Jews in the white here at the what do you call it right here at the right across the street. It's what what is the community called royal

pump is a royal pump. They did not allow Jews to live in that community, but we're talking 56 years ago, right? Because it was like protect. Well, there were seven years ago that used to say no blacks, no Jews, no dogs. That's right. That's basically what was going on in this country. So that was then, that's how pathetic it was then, right? And so they were welcomed by the Democratic Party. So the Jews said I'm part of Democratic Party because they welcomed me. They've had them for 70 years, they've had that vote. The Democrats had the black vote for how many years

since 1960, 1960, that's 60 years they've had that vote, right? Gradually, if they're flip-flopping with their position of no longer supporting the Jewish community in Israel, they could easily lose that vote today. Easily lose that, that's what I'm saying. The right didn't change their policies. The right just hated Trump because Trump called that McCain, Trump called that Bush, Trump called that Bush senior,

Trump called that a bunch of people who are veterans on the right saying, I don't care if you're a prisoner of war, I wanna make sure you don't get caught. Like some of the comments, that's how he lost a lot of people, not policies. Well, on some policies, he did change the tradition of chess. Like, free trade, he began trade wars,

I think the Republicans were. That's not a trade war. There was abuse, and for many years, everybody wanted to go up against China, but nobody had to go up against China. That's how you get drunk, right? But that's not policies. That's just a trade war. There was abuse and for many years, everybody wanted to go up against China, but nobody had to. That's how you get Trump credit for that. But that's not policies. That's just called pranks.

Being a fiscal conservative, not taking on more debt. Trump brought on a lot of debt. There's no, I mean, check the numbers on that. I think that's been a mutual thing since Bush, Obama, at the last 20 years. Oh, there's no deniers. Democrats take on debt, but it's the fact that Republicans are supposed to be more fiscal conservative.

It's limited government. I don't, I don't throw aions of debt. I don't disagree with that, but I think that the big government think happened after Bush. Right after Bush, everybody wanted a bigger government. That's been happening for a long time. On George W. Bush. Oh, yeah.

Well, after 9-11 and the TSA and everything, the big brother and looking at everything. Yeah, we've heard more anti-Israel talk in this country in the last three months than we have in the last 30 years. And a lot of it is because this BDS is happening on boycott, divest, and whatever, sanction against Israel, a lot of the college campers, a lot of this goes back to the woke crowd.

Some of the people need to understand I don't know if we're gonna get our friends on. Like the most ironic part of I think the woke liberal left anti Israel BDS is there was an image of a gay flag that was essentially gays for Gaza essentially. And someone pointed out, do you understand that if you actually...

That makes no sense. Had the gay flag in Gaza, they would full on kill you. But if you had that in Tel Aviv, Israel, they would just, hey, good luck. Like that's the biggest joke, is the fact that you have the liberal woke left defending these authoritarian Hamas driven terrorist organizations.

I lived in your eyes. I understand how right wing they are. Let me put it to you this way. I've talked about this, maybe privately, and I've talked about it. There was a guy back in the days who was like the Jimmy Kimmel, the Jimmy Fallon, the Johnny Carson of Iran. His name was Farroch Sadeh. Good looking guy.

Very good. Can you pull him up? There's no way to be able to spell it. Guy, would you spell Farroch Sadeh please? So, I'm talking to that. F-A-R-O-K-H Farroch Z-A-D-E-H. No, no. The fact that you're even spelling it out.

I can't stand it correctly. It's kind of correctly. F-A-R-O-K-H, Farroch, Z-A, no, no, put it together. It's one name. Z-A, it's like a John. It's an easy name. Z-A-D-E-H. John, it's like John. D-E-H.

D-E-H, Iran. Put Iran. Okay, now go there. Put images. Put images. Images, body. Okay. Iran put Iran okay now go there put images put images images images buddy okay uh go go back uh guys somehow still no no no Farrah don't fight or Zada to the left right there to the left it says Farrah don't fight or Zada right there

oh my god Kai you have to get your not spas I want to go there right there just go right there thank God that guy right there okay so he he. Look at this. Bert Reynolds. You're on your profile man. Let me tell you good looking guy. Great voice, great performer. Look at that picture right there of him. Look at that. That's a. That's a. That's a. Or a.

We're looking. Yeah. Well anyways, there is a speculation that he was gay in Iran. And later on based on that outfit, I'm going to go. The speculation was correct. Then if that's the case, half a men in America were a Metro again. You're not talking about Farouk Zahd. You may not dress like that on the podcast, but you dress like that every day when you come to work.

Black and white. Black and white? That's he not dressed like that every day he comes to work. You guys should see how Adam dresses. Adam dresses like a bullfighter. I would like to be now called Farouk Zahd. That's my new name. Do not torture it how you better spell that shit right.

Farouk Zahd. Anyways, so he- How is about Farouk not put your account, you better spell that shit right. Faul, cause I'll do it. Anyways, so he- Tell us about Faul. He was gay, you know? The rumor had it that he liked men. Yeah. And anyways, eventually he's at a hotel in Europe. They go find them, they chop them up.

Who's they? The Iranians? The Hezbollah. The Hezbollah's camp. They find them, they chop them up, and they take his privates, they cut them up, they put it his privates, they put it, cut them up, they put it in his mouth to prove a point, take a picture, send it out that's to say, here's what we do to folks like you.

For everybody else, we dare you to come out to closet. Do this behavior against you, what happens? Folks in America think that's a joke. Any run would be driving, and if a girl has her hair being shown back in the days, I'm talking to Erwin, I live there back in the days. If you had your hair being shown, they would take you, they would take you and whip your back 77 times, you would hear that number constantly.

So if you see many times when you'd go to the beach and you'd see a man or a woman in the back that's got their back looks, so what is wrong with this person's back? It's not what's wrong with their back. They got arrested, they got whipped, they got lashes and he ran. This was normally an he ran.

It wasn't like the new CNN eight o'clock tonight. You know, John Jones got sliced 77 times and I know, no, that's not like that. Just, all right, cool. Sounds good. All the best. Next time, don't screw up. It's a different kind of a culture.

So many people in America are saying, Gaze for Gaza, I challenge you to have the courage to go do that in actually Gaza. And see what happens. Or do that in Saudi Arabia, or do that in Iran, or do that in Syria, or do that in Lebanon, or do that in Oman, or do that in Yemen. Well, you can do it with luck.

But you can do it in Tel Aviv, Israel. And anywhere in Israel. That's right. Was the guy that they killed? Was he on the air at the time? Was he still a relevant personality and a culture? He's always, till the day he died, he was killed. He was talking about folks out there.

They're unbelievable. Man, this is so sad. He's a tragic, so they're the undiluted. Yeah, so there's always these rumors about what happened. That's the day he didn't talk about. He's unbelievable. Man, this is sad. He's all tragic. Yeah, so there's always these rumors about what happened. That's the one story you keep on about there. So anyways, let's go into inflation. Let's talk about inflation.

To page nine, middle to page nine. Inflation expectation for the next year's search to record high, Fox Business Story. Inflation for the next year's climb for seventh straight month in May to record high. According to a new survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, median one year ahead of inflation and expectation last month rose, 0.6% each points

to 4% the highest since the New York Fed survey of consumer expectations began. Inflation expectation over the short term have in recent months been an increasing out of faster pace than a medium term. The 0.4% point difference between the two is the biggest spread on record respondents also expect prices for all commodities to increase over the next year. The median year ahead expected, change in food prices increase 2.2 percent points to record

high to 8 percent while the other year ahead expect change. The prices gas rose 0.6 percent points to 9.8 percent. My prediction, I've been saying it, Kai, we got to make a note for me to do that video on gas prices. I predict gas prices in a next 12 to 24 months to it, five to $10. I was at a town a couple of weeks ago and I saw the gas prices in California being at,

what do you call it? No, no, no. Premium was $4.89 is what it was. Regular was $ was 440 today Yesterday I was running out of gas on my way to TSA building here in what do you call it and Florida by the port? Barely found a gas station. Thank God. I did 270 to 16 what I'm paying for pathetic I'll cheap the gas was over here compared to but Floridians are saying the gas prices have come up I'm like this is nothing compared to what it is inflation is coming

Let me add that with the other story together Let me add that with the other story together. Let me add that with the other story together, and then I'm gonna come to you guys for your feedback. Global tax rate could drive businesses away from US, watchdog warrants, also business, Fox business story. President Biden, leaders of G7 group nations endorsed the global minimum corporate tax rate of at least 15% of policy

that could ultimately drive business investments away from the US. That's according to taxpayer protection aligns a nonprofit advocacy group based in DC which argues that a higher global minimum rate would ultimately be passed on to workers and consumers to reduce compensation and higher prices. There's some evidence to suggest that corporate taxes are ultimately borne by workers and consumers. A recent analysis conducted by the tax foundation suggested that up to 70 percent of the tax burden falls into labor as the tax reduces. As the tax reduces investment productivity and wages the dollar amount of costs and labor may exceed the revenue raised by the tax by a wide margin the tax foundation said.

But the Biden administration is arguing a minimum tax rate will build a more equitable tax system that will help deliver a foreign policy for the middle class and it will help support working families everywhere. Thoughts on inflation and the tax rate increasing globally. I could just speak from one perspective. Inflation is in the news every single day. Is it an inflation a horrible thing that we should be afraid of? Terrible thing. Okay.

For middle American long, long income. Terrible thing. Yeah, and they keep talking about it. There's a cold front coming and temperatures might be like 3% colder during March through April. They're making it seem like it's like just a little small, little tiki tack, little inconvenience. I mean, if this hits like every,

Jamie Dimons talking about how JB Morgan is stone away as much cash as they possibly can because inflation is coming in a huge way, I'm scared as hell about it. I really am. I mean, I know what gas prices are because I pay them in California. You can see other things inch in up and you combine that with the global shipping issues that we have and all the other things that are in this pot and they're brewing and it's

going to be a very, very challenging time coming for us very shortly. So, we talked about two topics right there, the inflation and the corporate. And the one thing that comes to mind here is what I just kinda showed you over here with my little Vendiagram. There's things that you can control and there's things that's matters

and where they coalesce in the middle is where you should focus. You're not gonna stop inflation, Bob, Sue, Joe, Mary. It's going to happen. It is what it is. The only thing you control is what's going on in the four walls under your house. So if inflation is 4% that has coming year, or if it's transitory and it will be closer to 2%, historically inflation is what?

2% to 3% annually anyway, over time. So inflation is going to happen. There's nothing you can do to control it. And unless you're some corporate tax Avenger who actually has a stance of what can happen at the corporate tax rate, there's nothing you can do about it. So there's nothing you can do about inflation. There's nothing you can do about the global corporate tax rate. The one thing you can do is focus on your own personal finance.

And what I always say, save that money. And then if you're worried about inflation and you're worried about your dollar not being as powerful as it is now, then start investing in assets that provide a better rate of return or start investing in assets that people are. I know we talked about. Keep word. Non-dublic ghetto kids. Let me ask you this.

How's the middle class going to invest in any of that with inflation going up? They're looking to afford milk and gas and insurance. You're right. You're right. By the way, you're absolutely right. So here's here's the issue. Did you see the story about BlackRock? By the way, Luis Rodriguez from Ecuador. If he can Texas as 310340132, I put the number down there. Luis Textes, Ecuador 310-340-1123, I wanna give you a minute to share with us how inflation affected Ecuador. So, did you see the story about BlackRock going and buying homes from people in pain,

25% about market rate? Did you see that number, that story there? That was in our hands. That's not in here, it's not in here. I'm just in the house. So, they're going running the buying, real estate portfolios and they're saying, listen,

half a million dollar home will pay 600 grand. 400,000 dollar home will pay 500,000. They're over paying for home. So a lot of them, oh my gosh, people are buying at the peak of the market. They're just buying right now. I've said this myself, right? That's market crash.

But when you start printing money, the way we printed money, the last 12, 18 months months In the Fed keeps the rates as low as they have do you know how cheap money is right now? I don't even understand if people realize how cheap money is right now. It's the cheapest it's ever been You want to go get millions of dollars today? It's so cheap. You know the whole thing where they talk about They talk about the fact that it's not fair that Bezos buffed all these guys barely paid any taxes. I don't know if we have one of those stories. Is that one of the stories?

I'll just go to the some page four at the top. 25 richest Americans paid no federal taxes report to street. Tesla's Elon Musk, former New York mayor's Michael Bloomberg, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, the activist investor Carl Iconn have all managed to pay zero income taxes. And at least one year in the past 15 years, pro public or reported billion investor George Soros managed to pay no income taxes three years in one year, Bezos paid no income taxes. 2011, he even claimed and received a, he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit

for his children. According to the report from 2006 to 2018, Bezos saw his wealth increase a hundred twenty seven billion dollars over the period he reported six and a billion dollars in income on which he paid one point four billion dollars in federal taxes when compared with his uh... with his overall gains that amounts to one point one percent true tax rate on the rise on his fortune uh... top top in the pro public as list is

uh... birch are half the ways uh... warm buffet the oracle of a omah reportedly had income of a hundred twenty five million dollars from twenty fourteen to twenty The pro-publica's list is Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha reportedly had income of $125 million from 2014 to 2018, paid 23.7% in taxes, a true tax rate of 0.1%. The way they're doing them now, right? Okay. So, this concept becomes, and by the way, somebody leaked their taxes. Right. Somebody from the IRS, which is a federal offense, by the way.

Shittemy anonymous. Oh, anonymous. And then you see the press secret, there's like, oh, we are gonna get to the bottom of this. No, you're not. This is IRS giving you the story right before you're pitching the idea of raising taxes is a good thing. And look at all these rich people,

let's turn them into bad people. So then, so let's do this. Here's the other way of thinking about it. All these incentives, first of all money's free. It's easy today to get, meaning for the rich. It's do this. Here's the other way of thinking about it. All these incentives, first of all money's free. It's easy today to get, meaning for the rich. It's very free. Interest rates are low. It's so easy to go get $50, 200 million today.

If you have money, there's this saying, when you have money, they don't lend you any money. 15 years, 20 years, nobody give you me a loan. Out of bank. I couldn't get a loan out of bank if I tried. Hell, if I wanted to rent a car from Hertz, they wouldn't give it to me because I was worried because your credit sucks so bad, right?

Today, everybody's just like, hey, you want another 10 million? You want another 40 million? You want another 35 million? You want another 20 million? Here you go. It's just money being given away, right? Because it's cheap.

How do we get here? Rates stay low like this. It's gonna keep happening. The separation on the wealth is going to be taking place. Now on the flip side, when you hear these stories about how bad the rich people are, okay, let's look at our compensation plan that we have with taxes. Let's look at the compensation plan that we have in taxes. And let's get rid of all the incentives of people to become entrepreneurs. What does America look like without Elon Musk? Let's take him out.

There is no Elon Musk or a Elon Musk type of a person the last 20 years, okay? Which is not like somebody to say, well, if there's not an Elon Musk, there will be another Elon Musk. No, no, no, no. Say there is no Elon Musk-esque type of a person the last 20 years. Say there's no Jeff Bezos type of a person the last 20 years. Say there's no Warren Buffett type of a person the last 50 years. Say there's no Carl Bezos type of a personal last 20 years say there's no war and buffet type of a personal last 50 years Say there's no Car like a job. So the whole point. I'm trying to make to all these guys. What does America look like? Is it a better place? No, is it is America better place without Bezos? Musk Buffett all of these guys in my opinion. No, it's not a better place without them

No, so so what what causes these guys to be willing to go work their tails up, put so much risk, anxiety, fear, worry at night, sitting there, oh my gosh, I'm working like Elon Musk is over 20 years, I never took a day of vacation, buff gates for 20 years, I never took a day of vacation. How many people are willing to do that? There's a bunch of people that I'm asking about a four day work week. These guys work 20 years straight. The incentive is, if I go 20 years

But I work in kind of like what Scott Galway said in his article Yeah, he said I used to go in Tuesday morning and not come back to Wednesday night You can work 30 hours straight. Yeah, the incentive is how many people are willing to do that at his age Not many anymore. So if they do they deserve the kind of wealth that they're getting If you try to punish them, what happens next is what? The next 20 years, you will not have any Elon Musk. The next 20 years, you will not have a base that was being inspired by that.

That's the part that people forget. Go to some of the biggest socialistic countries in the world and tell me what incredible products were produced there. Go. Go to the greatest, biggest socialistic countries and you tell me what technology you use today, that came out of a socialistic technology. What? What technology? I don't know what

the hell they're doing in China, but they're doing something there. But in China, it's a different story in China. China is taking all the trade secrets from America and they're trying to control to make China more powerful. It's not innovation. That's theft is what it's called. But they set it up in a way on contract where American people who got the money, they said it's not a big deal. Let's give it to them. So it's not called theft. They did it legally, but it is theft.

It's a deal that they did. The theft of IP, theft of IP, theft of ideas, without letting you compete in their country. So we're not even denying it. We'll take Facebook from you. We'll take all this stuff from you, but you can't have that in our country. But we can have it in your country.

Brilliant idea that they have. Anyways, this whole stuff with taxes and inflation can be... Let me ask you a question. Can there be two sides of this coin? Meaning, I don't think it's right that you vilify successful people. Like, I don't think that anti-capitalist vilification of the Warren Buffett's of the world

and the Bezos of the world and the most of the world. And all these guys who have made a major influence, Steve Jobs, as you mentioned, the vilification of these types of entrepreneurs, to me, is ridiculous, it is absurd. But at the same time, can you also say, yeah, maybe they should pay their fair share. Like Warren Buffett has said, I'm willing to pay more taxes. Meaning can you congratulate them? Why don't you justify them?

But then all I'm saying is, do it. Do it. Dude, you don't, let's not raise taxes, but do it. Give a billion dollars additional to taxes. Go ahead, just like charity. Go ahead a lot of them have signed up for the billionaire pledge. I don't know, but what I'm saying is,

if you're so noble of a human being, where you say, I'm willing to pay more taxes. Why don't you go ahead? You can't a lot of them if I'm answering this a lot of them say I don't trust the government to do no shen you don't either do we either do we then don't don't give that line don't give that line when you're worth a hundred billion dollars just to look good in the story while you kill the next buffet that's coming up. Your time. Buffet is the one who said that.

No shit and I'm calling him out. Yeah. Don't say that after you made your hundred billion dollars and you screwed up for the next uh... seventeen year buffet that wants to come up. What the hell you doing? Did you forget when you were seventeen? You so you want to make it harder for the next. So you want to make the barrier to entry for the next buffet to come up.

You want to make it harder for him? That's what you want to do. So that's your policy right there. Yeah, well, I got my money already. Forget about, I'm about, I'm 90 years old right now. Yeah, I'm this old wise guy now. And don't worry, young guys, you don't need to be as wealthy as me.

It's not as good. Who are you to make that decision for me? Not that you have the money, it's easy for you to say it. No. Let the young 14 year Buffett be inspired to be more than you. So you're saying that Buffett speaking out of both sides of his mouth or not. I think I think I think I think

generations. Look, I asked the guy one time I said, why, why do some of these billionaires who become so wealthy? Why do they all of a sudden start sympathizing? You know, oh my gosh, all this other stuff. He says because they feel bad. They feel bad because of what? What did they feel bad about? What? The only thing you ought to feel bad about is, you know the documentary about Vince Lombardi where they said at the end of the days, Lombardi wasn't a happiest guy when he died. There'd be parties that have drinks

and they step away and he would go crying as room by himself. And his wife would go to him and say, hey, baby, what's going on? It's just, I don't know, I don't know. He would go and cry hardcore, right? And it's just as it makes sense, why is Lambert doing this?

So when I interviewed the coach of the Chicago Bears, Mike Dittka, and I'm sitting at his barn in Dittka, in Chicago, it's the most boring interview I've ever done. I never even knew you. I used to be in show up and bring. He's the most boring interview I've ever done. Dittka, and I'll tell you what. You know what, you know why,

you know why we don't want to. Let me tell you why, why is the most boring? His wife was sitting? And I'll tell you what. You know what, you know what, you know what, I was just, let me tell you why, why is the most boring, his wife was sitting right there when we did the interview. And I asked him about everything, Kaepernick, all this other stuff, he said, you know what, maybe I was wrong. Fine, maybe I was too hard, maybe I was to this,

I'm like, dude, that's not what I wanna hear. That's not what I wanna hear, because what happens is, when you get older, the energy to argue certain arguments for you, it's just like, I just don't care anymore to do it, right? So, Lombardi, what is that background noise, by the way? Who is it? Is it our guys? Can we just tell them Gerard to... When you become older, okay, and you get to a point where like Lambert is going around,

he says, finally what hurt Lambert was the fact that he felt that the tail end of his career was too tough on his players. He felt like he was too tough on his players. Now, when they interview the players, can somebody step over there and just have that conversation with Gerard? The guys so loud, the whole country can hear him right now. Oh, the Arabic. All right. So he was so tough on his player. So the interview, the players, and they said, how do you feel about it? He says, I disagree. I wanted somebody like that in my life. I wanted somebody that challenged me the way that he says,

I never had anybody that had such high expectations of me. He says, don't be wrong. He was very tough. But I like the way he was. There was a story about one that, who was the quarterback that played for him? Bart Star. Bart Star. He says

Bart star one day. Lombardy's berating him in front of his players. You can't even throw shit. What the hell is going on with you? Bapapapa. He just trash him in front of his players. Bart says coach. Can I talk to you? Yeah. He comes in. He says, Hey coach, why can't you if you want me to lead my players, please don't undermine me in front of my players. Can you do to me privately?"

He says, he never did it ever again. Barstar said that. He says, because I just want to have the conversation with him, right? As people age and it gets, I don't know what it is to be 90 years old and to be closer to heaven or to be closer to, you know, whatever age of 20, 30 to relate to that. As you get older, you become disconnected with the younger, you forget who you were at 50. Sure.

Bro, there's this book on Lincoln called Lincoln on Leadership. And one of the things he talks about is circulate amongst your troops. The moment you no longer relate to the minimum wage person and you forget who you were, you know, that whole song by Jennifer Lopez, which is what? Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got. I'm still I'm still Jennifer. I used to have a little now. I have a lot no matter where I go. I remember right. By the way, to me, the only reason that's my favorite J-Lo song is because the words. I don't listen to J-Lo song. But the word, the point is the point is Buffett forgot when he was just Warren from the block he forgot yeah he did he said a rough

deal before about the stocks that I got he really has he's had more gaps this year than he has at his whole life yeah and I think part of it is that negative guy underneath him, Charlie, you know, his daughter younger. You know, he's about as bitter as he could possibly get. He's a little crutchy. You know, in regards to the tax that the rich are paying, no one's accusing them of breaking any laws. And if you have that type of wealth, you have people that are smart enough to stay one step ahead

of the tax code and the IRS and to figure it all out, which makes me think they'll just figure out the next thing too, right? They always do. Yeah, and by the way, Adam said there's nothing we can do about it, actually we can when it comes to inflation, we can vote out the people that are in power when inflation hits and that usually does happen.

Dude, by the way, this guy in Motown Music Factory, I don't know who it is because there's not a name behind and it just gave 10 bucks. And he said America will look worse than Detroit without people like Elon Musk. Just ask Jack Ma. I agree, and I'm gonna give you 10 times what you gave us, which is $100.

Let's make a note, Kai, the Motown Music Factory, send us a text of 310-340-1132, we're about to send you $100, because I agree with you as well. We have to recognize these people and build them up. We're trashing innovators right now. We're destroying innovators right now. Everything is about, you know,

the people today, there is a business model on YouTube for just trashing others constantly. We enjoy that, people are enjoying seeing it, right? It is a model that happens. I posted a picture of the house I bought, right? Because,bearance did a story on it, and then, a real deal. A real deal did a story on it? Because,bearance did a story on it, and then, A real deal.

A real deal did a story on it. A bunch of people did a story on it. And so finally, my guy says, what do you wanna do? I said, time, why don't we write them, put the pictures up? So, time wrote the story on vkpost.com. Hey, you know, what do you call it? Bought this house in North, Fort Lauderdale, record breaking,

whatever, 20.4 million auto house I bought, right? Last week, and North Lauderdale, record breaking, whatever, 20.4 million auto house I bought, right? Last week and I got the keys and I flew out, right? The moment I got the keys. By slept in it two times this week. Three times this week and I got the keys. Taking a shower the other day and then got it covered here on the bottom.

But at the top it's not the top. Taking a shower and I'm looking around. At the top it's open so when it rains you see the rain and I'm looking and I'm like, oh my gosh, my freaking apartment complex and Grenada Hills, where drive-by's were taking place. Who the hell would believe this story?

If I told you in high school, one day, Pat, hey, if somebody said, Pat, one day at 42 years old, you're gonna limp this kind of house. Say, what the hell are you on right now? The drugs are using it. That's the American dream. But you know what?

There was a lot of messages that came, but there was a lot of messages that came with send me money. There's a lot of messages that came that, you know, you could have given that how money to this. There was a lot. Everybody has their own dream. To some people, the dream is a different dream. To some people, it's relationship. To some people, it's a house. To some people is something big they want.

Some people is their legacy of their, you know, they want to do something big with it. Thank God for the ambitious people who have big dreams and they try to do it the right way. They're going to break rules. There's no way in the world you're going to be big without breaking the rules, but they don't break the laws, but you can break the rules. You have to break the rules sometimes to do something big with it. Thank God for them. Sometimes we just have to sit there and be grateful. The fact that we had a chance to witness a Michael Plum. When people tell me I was looking at an art

and win wood, I was in woodwood two days ago. And I go to this one art store, the guy sees me. He's like, oh shit. I'm like, what the hell? I'm with Senna. Anyways, with Senna, Mario, I think we're out there. And Carol and so we go, he goes to the back. Hey, hey, hey, come here.

Hey, I'm Al. This is Cal and this is Val. Oh my, cool, good to meet you guys. Hey, this is Sal. We watch all your interviews. All you watch the business interviews? No, just the mob interviews. I'm like, okay, so you're the mob audience, right?

So we're sitting there, we're talking. And what story was I telling right now? I was talking about the fact that your house, your art, your haters. Now it's the art to haters. And what story was I telling right now? I was talking about the fact that... Your house, your art, the haters. Your house, the art, the haters. Oh, man, huh? Different dreams.

Different dreams. What was it, man? I was about to tell a good story with what happened there. The art. Yeah, I forgot what the story was, but it had to do with that place because I was looking at an art with this guy. And it was sort of comfortable here.

I mean, in win wood, I don't know where I was going with this, but the house, the art, what was it? Where I was going with this? I'll get with it here in a minute. But get mentally back into the shower. Get back there, you're feeling good. Shower. When you were talking about,

everybody has a different type of goal and it might be a house for somebody. Yeah, I just think we forget that, man. I think we forget the little kid that has a dream that wants to do something big. And rather than go, forget about the 50 year old Elon Musk. I don't know how old Elon Musk is. I'm assuming he's in his mid 40s too late.

I think he's 49 on the verge of the day right now. Dude, go look at Elon Musk, not as 49. Take a look at Elon Musk as a 12 year old kid who kept reading those books and imaginations and people called them weird, who had an imaginary friend, you know, who had all those weird things that he did. He had a dream, dude. Don't look at him as that 50-year-old guy. Look at him as the, by the way, even Biden, you know what I look at with Biden? I don't look at Biden as who he is today. I look at

Biden. I'm like, this guy probably when he was coming up, he's like, he had a dream one day he's gonna be a president, right? The guy's got the ultimate, like the lowest underdog. Like, you know who he is? He's like when the Florida Marlins won the World Series. That's Joe Biden, if you think about it. Yeah, it's like, you know, J. Buener, you know, Pudge Rodriguez, the great pictures. Randy, was there I think?

I think Randy was there. I don't know who their picture was. He had a good picture there. But the point is we forget those stories. As much as you may disagree with someone's ideas, Trump at one point had the pressure of the father, boarding, you know, they're sending him away, go at this place, figure out your life,

the resentment, if you love me so much, why do you send me to a boarding house? God becomes a billionaire, becomes a president, sure. I mean, dude, you gotta plot some of these guys. So the world wouldn't be the same without these people. We demonize them way too much. Yeah, and the media is grabbing hold of this social warfare, or this class warfare, and they're running with it.

And it's dangerous. You know, it's making these people seem like they're evil or that they should feel guilty about making all this money. How about Elon Musk when he almost lost Tesla? I mean, he was working 20 to 22 hours a day trying to save it. So there's that too, so. Yeah, that's true. By the way, this doesn't mean, you know,

everything with taxes to me is a sales company's compensation structure. What incentives do you want? Create a sales structure, compensation structure, based on that. Hopefully they'll do something about it. All I know is right now, they're trying to drive it in a way to demonize rich people.

And I don't think it's gonna work out for them long term. What story do you guys wanna go to? What story would you like to go to? Did you get any art? I did, I did. I'm looking at a couple of bank sees. I purchased a Mr. Brainwash yesterday. It's a sick Mr. Brainwash.

I don't know if you're familiar with Mr. Brainwash. I didn't eat it, like they're telling the truth. It's a demon, at least a base one. I'm gonna touch a good transition for that one. Yeah. The Brainwash stuff, don't know if you're familiar with Mr. Brainwash. I mean, you need it. Like, they're telling the honesty to you. I'm the only one who's the base on that. But that's actually a good transition for that one. Yeah. The Brainwash stuff, like a picture of an older, iconic president of the figure that he makes all of. I love his work.

Dude, I walked in and I walked in. I said, I want that right there. And I told him, I don't tell the guy I want it, but I want that. So we came back here to massive price tag on it. I'm like, let me think about it. I don't know if I'm on one or not. And then we called around yesterday, I wired him the money. And it. I'm like, let me think about it. I don't know if I'm on one or not. And then we called it on yesterday.

I wired him the money. And it's coming in this week to be here Friday. I am in love with this piece. It's got two of my favorite characters. One is Chaplin and one is Einstein. And I love both of these guys. Oh, I love both of those guys. Yeah, it's just a beautiful art.

Some of these street graffiti artists are ridiculous at the work they do. Do you have the basal story with Monolisa or no? What do we have it on here? Page three. Yeah, top of page three. Let's go through. So thousands are urging basals, true story.

Thousands are urging basals to buy and eat the Monolisa and finally use this money for good, bro Bible. Okay. Why hasn't anyone ever taken a bite at the Monolisa? to buy and eat the Mona Lisa and finally use this money for good. Bro Bible, okay. Why hasn't anyone ever taken a bite at the Mona Lisa? Jeff Bezos, the world's wealthiest man can afford to buy it and take a bite. It's time he started putting his money to good use and doing good, doing things nobody else can.

The Mona Lisa is a 518 year old, 518 years old. That's a long time to have existed without a single living soul taken a bite at the painting. Bezos can afford to do that. Anything he wants, literally anything. That's a long time to have existed without a single living soul taking a bite out of the painting. Bezos can afford to do that. Anything he wants, literally anything, that's the premise for this petition that has picked up thousands of signatures over the weekend. So why shouldn't Bezos, with his fortune of $193 billion, by the painting and take a buy,

going to space is stupid. There's nothing in space worth seeing but earth. And you can see earth from here. You could take a hot air balloon really high if we wanted to, according to Fox News, an art expert valued Mona Lisa at 60.9 billion dollars less. Yeah, well, let me just, let me jump in here. I know you're not a fan of space.

You have no interest of going to space. I like space. I just don't want to go in it. I have no problem with space. It's sort of like with pets with me. I don't dislike them. I just don't want any. All right, well, you don't have to. I just don't want any. All right.

Well, you don't have to go. 1% chance. So rather than taking a bite out of the Mona Lisa, by the way, I think this is obviously a humorous sort of joke of a story. Take a buy a $60 billion painting and take a bite. Is it an out of the deal? It's an out of the deal story.

No, I don't think so. I think it's actually that absurd that they wanted to do. Yeah. I think like you talked about picture not absurd that they wanted to do. I think, like you talked about, picture the young Jeff Bezos, right? The young Jeff Bezos now is 50 something years old wants to go to space. I think if you're gonna buy the Mona Lisa,

rather than taking a bite out of the Mona Lisa, which is just absurd on the face of it, take the Mona Lisa to space with you. Let's say you spend a quarter of your wealth. Yeah. Can you imagine who painted the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci? Later on Da Vinci, 500 and something years later,

you're painting that you painted in Italy, right? Is now in space, looking down. It's the one painting in space. That to me has a little more braze. That would be actually kind of cool. You could get some good shots at that. The Mona Lisa looking out the window. Scenery eyes out. You know, when you have seen the Mona Lisa in person, it's a lot smaller than you would think. It's not that way. Yeah. You know, I think the most interesting aspect

of the story is what the value of the Mona Lisa would be. I think 61 billion is preposterous. I think that's ridiculous. You wouldn't pay for it. Well, I just don't think if let's throw it out there in an open market. And here's what I think it would get. I think that's ridiculous. You wouldn't pay for it. Well, I just don't think if let's throw it out there in an open market and here's what I think it would get. I think it would get in the billions. I think it would get over a billion. I'm guessing one to two billions somewhere in that range. It would definitely his most expensive painting that Leonardo Da Vinci ever had was 450 million. Okay. It was Prince Bodder bin Abdullah of Saudi Arabia bought it for 450 million. So that's the most expensive painting ever. What was the painting?

It was the Salvador Mundi, okay? And it was Jesus in a blue dress. Okay, kind of an odd one where his fingers were making the sign of the cross. Can you pull that up? So that went for 450 million. 60 million. By the way, the Mona Lisa's own by the French government. It's owned by the French government.

It's in the Louvre. Yeah, there it is. That thing went for 450 million Saudi prints. Is that crazy? The Mona Lisa is worth $60 billion. I don't believe it is. That's what a French government. That's what a French government official said

and the French government owns the Mona Lisa. Here's the most ironic part of this. I think a $5 billion offer we get. Good. Here's the most ironic part of this. So let's five billion dollar offer we get it. Good. Here's the most ironic part of this. So let's say it was valued at 60 billion. 60 billion. Do you know where that would put Mona Lisa in the world's wealthiest people?

It would be number 20 and it would bump Jeff Bezos' ex-wife Mackenzie Scott from the top 20. That's a fancy one. So the Walton's, or number 19, he might do it. Just to say Mackenzie, you're out. Mona Lisa, my new band. I think is worth more than Jeff Bezos' ex-wife. Same amount, but she's a little bit, she's 59 and that's a six.

A billion dollars more. We're the billion dollars more than it is there. Okay, so take the Mona Lisa to space rather than take a bite out of the Mona Lisa. So yes or no, should he do it or should he not do it? So waste of. Take Mona Lisa to space. I don't think you should do it. I thought it was kind of a lane. Would you rather him take it to space

or take a bite out of Mona Lisa? Okay, do you have any opinion on what happened with G7? Do you want to go to G7, page seven? Happened right now. Let's do it, let's go to G7. Let's see here, hang on one second. Okay, here we go. G7. Let's see here, hang on one second. Okay, here we go. G7 takeaway, some of takeaways.

The US is back on top. The Queen cut a cord with a sword and world leaders, world leaders promised $1 billion, $1 billion COVID-19 doses. This is business insider story. Let's see how we want to do this. Which one do you want to go through? Because there's a lot of stories.

You just kind of share your thoughts on what you thought about it. I like the thought on Russia. The thought on Russia? Which one is that on? You know, how Biden is in Europe now, right? And he talks a good game when he's in front of these other leaders. Just what is he going to do with Russia? I just think Putin would dominate him in a one-on-one meeting that is just,

you know, you couldn't even measure how much dominance he would have. I think I think Biden's afraid of him. I think he talks a really tough game when he's not around him. But we all agree that cyber security is one of the biggest issues we face right now. The threats are coming from Russia. They are the ones doing it. And what's a company supposed to do? Their only option is to pay the ransom and get things going again.

I mean, we don't even know a fraction of the amount of cyber attacks that are going on. They said there was like 65,000 last year. Man, we hear about one every other week, but they're constantly happening. He has to stand up at some point and address this with him. And I just don't think he's got the guts. I don't, I think because of Hunter, he has compromised Joe Biden in so many different ways on a world stage that he's just unable to. I don't think he wants to, and I think he's unable to. So I think that is such a pressing issue

that we'll never get to the bottom up because he's not gonna do anything. I think the key thing that is happening with the G7, and it comes down to you talked about policies and basically different perspectives on how things are operating. I think for sure, and this isn't a knock on Trump, but his whole brand was unilateralism.

America first, I got this, I alone can fix this. Whereas Biden or the Democratic Party, they are more about multilateralism. They believe in the power of multiple countries, i.e. the G7, the G8, the G20, working together in cooperation to solve big problems. We just dealt with the biggest problem in the last 100 years, the coronavirus, and now this is the importance of working with your allies.

I think there's a, a famous, to quote my friend, Kai over here, his hero hero Winston Churchill, the only thing worse than fighting with your allies is fighting without them, right? Winston Churchill. So right now we are working with our allies, UK, France, Japan, Germany, G7 countries, to work together to figure out what the hell is going on in this world. And coalescing behind an anti-China and even an anti-Russian opposition,

because at this point, the world needs to unify against what the hell China did or what it's doing. And make no mistake about it. Did you see the interview with, I believe his name is Kier Simmons, with he interviewed Putin a couple days ago? Did you see that interview? He pressed Putin pretty hard. Putin would not talk bad about China at all.

He's basically saying, why are you trying to make me say bad things about China? We're working together with China. So you talked about cyber warfare and ransomware and everything that's going on like that. That is the new martin warfare. And who are the biggest culprits with that? For sure, Russia, for sure, China.

So I think the world needs to come together and call out bad actors for what they are. You know, this is the time for democracies to stand up. United States, UK, France, Germany, modern day democracies to go against authoritarian dictators of Putin and Xi who are working together. And this is the world against the bad actors. So I think good things will come from this G7. And whether you're a Biden fan or not, you should not be rooting for Putin in this instance, okay?

Root for Biden to tell basically Putin, stop fucking with the United States here, or we're gonna come after you. I don't think they came out of it any more line though. There's a lot of friction between even these seven leaders as far as what to do with China. I mean, that's part of the story, the narrative of what happened at G7 is,

behind the closed doors, they weren't agreeing on anything. There is a, he said, what would Putin say to China? It says on Russia, Biden and Biden said, US relations with Moscow have reached a low point. Low point. What does that mean? Low point. I mean, low point. It wasn't low just a couple of years ago. And then he followed that up by saying they're at the lowest point that they've been in a very,

very long time, but we don't want conflict with Russia. That's what he said. Well, stop hacking everything and stop putting viruses and everything. And maybe we'll have a better relationship. It gets a two-way street like my mom used to always say, in order to be a friend, in order to have a friend, you need to be a friend. So here we are trying to have good relations with Russia. But everything in the news is Russians, Russian hackers did this. Russian did this. Russian did that. You think Putin is sitting there,

weighing out which ally is more important and necessary to him, China or Iran? And if yes, he is Who is more important to Russia? China without even a question tell me why China versus Iran? No, no, I'm sorry. I'm my apologies China versus US Who is more important of an ally China or Iran? China or US? China. US is not an ally with Russia And they're clearly aligning with China. I get that but what I'm'm asking you is, is Putin sitting there saying, I better be careful, because he doesn't think US is going to be that powerful nation as it once was, I better start stepping back and making sure that my relations with China are strong because they're neighbors.

They're down the street for the US and I know. So they're neighbors, but I better be better with China than I am with US. Well, he came out and said that he has working on relationships with China. I mean, he came out and did not deny it. Which is more important to him, do you believe? China, without a doubt. Do you think China is more important to Russia than US is? Yeah, probably because I don't think he,

I think each day that goes by, I think the threat of the US is minimized in his mind. And he's definitely calculating every possible move that he can make. That would be my question if I'm him. I would be looking at that if I'm him wondering which one of those two relations is interesting. Yeah, because- You've been just looking at the, from the rest of the, of the article,

some of the big things that the, when I talked about multilateralism in these countries and these Western democracies, working together, key issues, China, vaccines, COVID, we talk about these global minimum tax of 15%, believe me, they're working on that climate change. These are big issues that major companies have to work together on. You can't go at these types of things alone. So, Pat, you were getting at the fact that if he looks at China as a bigger threat, he might soften on the US and look to align in a few more ways? No, no, no, just the other way.

Like if he sees China is about to be a bigger threat to the world and take over US, it is more necessary for him to have a better working relationship with China than it is with the US. So his one, two, you know how in life you have kids and you have wife. Which relationship matters more to you? I don't think I should answer that. No, no, that's actually a real question. I think which relationship, if you have a wife and kid. I mean, again, I'm not married no kids,

but I hear every single one of my friends basically say the most important thing are my kids. That's what I hear every parent say. I can find a new husband. I don't, I love my kids. I don't disagree. Is that the question you're asking? No, what I'm asking is which one is more important

for you to have a better relationship with? Probably with the wife. Oh, your wife, your wife, your relationship. So, you know, I'm talking about who it's more important, not who is your wife's, not your blood, but your kid is your blood, but you made the kid with the wife, right? So you have to realize that part of it.

But, you know, he's way not which relationships more important right now to him. And I think for the time being, he's probably sitting there saying, we better not go through the whole process of US always be number one. We kind of US is getting weaker maybe not as strong as China was. China's getting right now. China's making a lot of progress. We may want to kind of consider being lighter on China than US, which is scary because if they're allies, that's it. That's it. This is why I'm banking on India. This is why I believe India is a, because if India, China and Russia team up, game over. If India, China, and let you say somebody gets elected in India that hates the US and likes

more of what China, Russia, and they're bought. It's over. If India gets bought out in the next 10 years, it's game over. That's not happening. I'm just telling you, wouldn't that start happening? Yeah, that's not happening. I think there's some commonality here with democratic countries and autocratic countries. There's like-minded thinking with China and Russia and Iran and North Korea. They're like-minded thinkers,

just like in democratic countries and Western democratic civilizations, United States, France, basically Europe, India included, Australia included, there's like-minded thinking there. So, of course, Putin and Xi are gonna see eye-to-eye on things, just like a Biden and Merkel are gonna see eye-to-eye on things. I'm a croon. So... Okay, sounds good. Again, we're doing it again. I believe Thursday we're back on. and she you're gonna see eye to eye on things. Just like a Biden and Merkel are gonna see eye to eye on things in my chrome.

So. Okay, sounds good. Again, we're doing it again. I believe Thursday we're back on. Yes, this Thursday we're back on same time. I'm gonna be coming in late, late, late the night before, but we're gonna do the podcast this Thursday as well. So be with us.
