Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, hey, hey, so this is what episode number six. We are hoping we have better Wi-Fi today. We made some adjustments. We have our Ken Philly AKA Stutt in the house with us to make sure, I can't wait to show you her. He even fixed his, we gotta give him love because he fixed his hair.

Starting point is 00:00:17 As he needs an outfit, guys. Oh, you're hair dude. He put on gel, I've never seen him with gel like this. Slakeback, say hello to everybody. He knew he was gonna be on camera today, so ladies. We got audio, we got video, we got Josh, we got Adam, we got Kai, we got Sam, we got Lewis. We got everybody, Lewis, we got everybody in the house today.

Starting point is 00:00:38 And we got a lot to talk about. Obviously yesterday was, I think the NCs the last night, so we got a couple of things to cover. A lot of things happen with, I wish the N.C. is the last night. So we've got a couple things to cover. A lot of things happen with the ban. I wish they would keep going. Trump's poll numbers keep going up every night the DNC. So we'll talk about that. Apple is officially the first two trillion dollar company that I posted on Twitter. I said Apple is officially a two billion dollar company. People respond to

Starting point is 00:01:02 say what's the big deal? But they're $2 trillion company. Uber lift continues in California. Airbnb's doing an IPO. Palantir is moving out of California. Amazon's betting against working from home. Bannon got arrested. USPS has spent New York police, Union commissioner Pat Lynch endorses Trump.

Starting point is 00:01:22 We got some NBA picks. We got Putin's rival that's in critical condition. Some serious stuff going on over there with the election. And there's some funny things happen with Goodyear. But having said that, let's get right into it. First things first, business. Apple. Before they announce their 4-1 split, this is before they're announcing their 4-1 split. They're about to announce a 4-1 split. They become a two trillion dollar company. So let me kind of put this into perspective. Steve Jobs dies. Apple is worth a hundred billion dollars. Okay. Years later after he's dead, the company's valuation has increased one point nine trillion dollars. Under a peaceful leader, Tim Cook, he continued the tradition of what they did, but now it is

Starting point is 00:02:09 a $2 trillion company during the pandemic. Adam, since you do a lot of content having to do with money and finance, tell us what you think about Apple being a $2 trillion company. Is it still a good bet? If I'm listening to this, I got $50,000, should I go buy some Apple stock right now? I mean, the rich get richer with this Apple, unbelievable, right?

Starting point is 00:02:32 When did they hit one trillion, like three years ago? No, they had one trillion, like a year and a half ago. A year and a half ago, so let's read. So a year and a half ago, they hit one trillion. Huge news, huge news. Yep. Okay. Huge. So so a year and a half ago they they hit one trillion huge news huge news. Yeah, okay huge So in less than two years, they're now a two trillion dollar company. Yeah that app store 30% thing is really Crushered it right. I mean unbelievable so to answer your question

Starting point is 00:02:58 If you got 50 g's, I don't think you just put it all in Apple however, I mean kids out there if you, if you're listening, get a Roth IRA, get a 401k, get an IUL from PHP, free plug. But the four to one stocks split, I think it's gonna be make the stock very accessible to the common investor, don't you think? So are you saying yes, I'm asking you. So should I buy some Apple stock right now? Do you, it could not hurt. Do you think Apple in the next 10 years

Starting point is 00:03:25 is gonna end up being a $10 trillion company? Well, that's an aggressive number. 10 trillion, I mean. They went from a hundred billion to two trillion. That's 20x. That's ridiculous. Do you think they're gonna go from two trillion to 10 trillion in the next 10 years?

Starting point is 00:03:39 I mean, how do you bet against Tim Apple at this point? You just can't. Tim Apple or Cook? No, it's not. Oh, sorry, I'm playing Megapodot Trump because Trump called him Tim Apple at this point. You just can't. Tim Apple or cook. No, sorry. I'm playing Megaphora Trump because Trump called him Tim Apple. How'd you not pick that one up, here's the thing. I love that you are. I'm here with my boy Tim Apple. You know, I said Tim Cook, dude, it's on tape. You called him Tim Apple. Anyway, for a trillion bucks, I changed my last name to Apple, no? Yeah. So is it going to 10 trillion or no? Okay. Look. It's trillion, Josh. Look here on this desk and ask yourself how many Apple products we have,

Starting point is 00:04:13 at least four, no five, five just on this desk alone. And we're looking over here. In 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, there's more Apple in this room than in the Garden of Eden. Okay. There's a lot of Apple here. So, but my question to you, actually I have two. Okay. Technology changes quickly. All right. So you just never know what the next guy comes out with quickly. But Apple has built a very strong brand.

Starting point is 00:04:41 I mean, they put just a ton of money into their brand. My next question for you, though, Pat, in regards to this, is does this make Tim Cook as effective as a leader, as a visionary, or even just as a CEO as Steve Jobs was? Steve Jobs was a visionary. But I mean, Tim Cook has taken over, and obviously you've seen what he's

Starting point is 00:05:05 done since he's, um, has taken the irains. Where does this rank Tim Cook in the land of CEOs, even past ones like jobs. So, so let me ask you a question. Tell me the whole, uh, the greatest president of all time. Who's the greatest president of all time? I got a second freaking say it, Josh. Who do you think's the greatest president of all time? So, I'm at the end of the day of the career, so you can't say Trump. So who's the greatest president of all time? I have to go to George Washington. And simply because he was the man.

Starting point is 00:05:35 He, like, he, he bled for the country, served the country, was the visionary, you know, so I'm, I'm gonna have to go to Washington. Okay. So who's the second greatest president of all time? Bro, there's so many. I'm so curious in who you're gonna say. Who's your greatest president? Maybe Dynastie. But who are you gonna say? You're gonna say Jimmy Carter? No. The peanut farmer. No. Maybe Lincoln. I mean, I'm Lincoln. Okay. Right. You know, JFK gone too soon. Rest in peace.

Starting point is 00:06:03 So let's say George Washington and Lincoln, you pretty much explained Apple. George Washington is jobs, Lincoln is cook. Let's just say if we look at it that way, right? So let's unpack that and what that means. Not there's an area of Apple that they have to be very careful with. And this is my thoughts, I'll share that with you.

Starting point is 00:06:21 The thing I like about what Tim Cook did is the following. See, we're gonna go through the, what do you call it, our picks for the NBA playoffs, right? I don't like the way LeBron is, this is the first time where I'm not like diehard lakers. I don't even know why. I was a diehard lakers when they had Sedale Tree. I was a diehard lakers when they had nothing going on.

Starting point is 00:06:42 Eddie Jones, Elden Campbell, Tony Smith, I mean there was nothing going on. They played basketball is what they did. The priority was, we're going to go play basketball and then our personal life in politics, it is what it is, right? Tim Cook is the first open gay CEO, Fortune 100 company. I'm gay, I'm a CEO of a Fortune 100 company, but my responsibility is to my shareholders, and if I need to have a good relationship with President Trump, even though I disagree with them on 90% of issues, he is still the president. You got to give so much credit to Tim Cook.

Starting point is 00:07:19 More than Trump, by the way, my credit goes to Tim Cook because the risk isn't on Trump. Trump looks good standing next to Tim Cook. Tim Cook doesn't look good standing next to his audience and his following, right? So he got up and he said, the side politics said, listen, we have a new product.

Starting point is 00:07:37 We have to work with the White House. We need protection. We have to be worried about what's going on with China. He made the tough decision, which I applaud him tremendously for being willing to do that. And he took the company to $2 trillion valuation. Who won all the investors that decided

Starting point is 00:07:52 to put their heart and money into what? Apple. So now there's a book I read called Barbarians to Be Recrads by Lawrence Miller. I call Lawrence Miller one day. I said, Lawrence, I got to buy this book. You see, you can buy that Barnes and Noble. I said, no, no, I want to buy the rights to this book I said, Lawrence, I gotta buy this book. You see, you can buy that Barnes and Noble, I said, no, no, no, I wanna buy the rights to this book

Starting point is 00:08:06 because, you know, you have installed this book, I can sell this book, this is a sick book, we had a conversation together. And he talks about every civilization, every organization, every society, every country, every company goes through different phases. Phase number one, you have a profit, okay? And the profit is who?

Starting point is 00:08:23 Steve Jobs. Phase number two, the profit attracts barbarians. In this case, he was a profit and a barbarian. It's what made him unique, because he was willing to go out and go to war, but he was also the profit, the idea of Apple. Then comes the builder and the explorer. Let's go build here. Let's explore here, Tim Cook.

Starting point is 00:08:41 Let's go do a little bit of this. Then comes the administrator, which starts putting laws, regulations, all this other stuff. Then's the bureaucrats, then there's the aristocrats. Apple hasn't yet shown up to the bureaucrats and aristocrats. That's more what happened to Kmart, that's more what happened to Sears, that's more what happened to some of these other companies. However, you need a sinner just to bring him back. Tim Cook's done a great job being in Builder, Explorer, and an administrator.

Starting point is 00:09:08 Kind of talked about this yesterday. The one part that Apple has to be very careful with. Here's a part. Jobs died when, 2006. Can you tell me what you're, he died? I don't know what you're, he died, but he died 10, 15 years ago. Right? Can you tell me what new innovative product Apple has come out with since 2011, nine years

Starting point is 00:09:31 ago? Since jobs died nine years ago, what new products have they come out with? Tell me a new innovative product have come out with. So that's a very, very fair point. I mean, there's literally nothing. They've just made the Maustrap better or faster, more, you know, but I've also heard that tech companies like Apple actually take their technology and they actually stagger it. Like they don't bring it out immediately.

Starting point is 00:10:00 It may sit on the shelf for five, six, seven years, which is why they're still rolling out stuff that jobs did. Like, so essentially there was a vault with like seven or eight years worth of products that they roll out. And even though, just kind of interesting because here they'll have a new technology, they don't go straight to market with it, which I don't know. Well, like, can a business plan is that? Except they're so confident that nobody is at their level that they can sit on tech.

Starting point is 00:10:31 Don't you find it interesting that Apple, you know, and Pat, I think you'll appreciate this metaphor. Apple used to be the David, and now they're the Goliath. Right? I mean, I remember there were the days when they were just trying, hey, you know, we're a quirky little upstart tech company. We've got quirky little ideas. Now literally, you got Epic Games reverse in course

Starting point is 00:10:54 and calling them the hunger games. Are you going somewhere with this? I'm just going right there with it. That's where I'm going. You are your epic. I'm not going anywhere else. I want to stay right here. I'm waiting for you. Yeah, client making'm I'm setting you up for the day.

Starting point is 00:11:08 Oh, hey, well, so watch they came out with the Apple watch and they did come out with AirPods. However, AirPods was just a better mouse. It's not a product that like like so. So the only thing I'm saying, the only thing I'm saying, I like I think Tim Cook guys, nine years ago, Apple's worth a hundred billion. Nine years later, it's worth a trillion, two trillion dollars. That's 20 X, that's not a joke, by the way, to do that. When jobs died, everybody's like, well, see what's gonna happen to Apple, let's see what's gonna happen to Apple, and Tim Cook's done an outstanding job.

Starting point is 00:11:39 He's got to get a shot. I sent him a tweet the other day, and he liked it. And I just gave him credit. I just want you to know what you've done is very impressive Tim Cook So I got to give that part credit the only part I'm concerned about is a new product coming out And we'll see what's gonna happen if they do they'll continue to compete but the capitalism There's this idea there is this idea. I'm talking to one of my friends yesterday That said Amazon is gonna forever

Starting point is 00:12:02 Take control and do this and you have to realize, and I'm like, Steve, I just trust capitalism, but that's not how it works. I'm telling you, I trust capitalism. Meaning somebody could come and do it better, somebody could come and have an offer that others don't have. What do you think about that? Okay, one, I don't understand why people, like I sometimes don't think that people wrap their head

Starting point is 00:12:25 around what Amazon is, okay? Amazon's a platform. It's a platform for a bunch of independent sellers. Now granted, they do have some of their own brands and stuff, but Amazon is about capitalism. It's just, it's literally a marketplace for people to compete. Now granted, there's a lot more technology involved. You got to know the algorithms, you know, et cetera.

Starting point is 00:12:44 You got to use their platform by advertising from them, et cetera, et cetera. But ultimately for all the people that are talking about Amazon and like, and, and dude, it's just coming from someone that loves small business. America's built on the back of small business. But people have to realize, Amazon's not trying to put small business out of business, they're trying to bring small business online. And so I think that people would be smart to understand and to recognize what Amazon actually is.

Starting point is 00:13:14 It's eBay, but what did eBay do? eBay, so eBay allowed the independent small little seller to now have a marketplace where they can actually compete with the big boy. So I think people get Amazon wrong. Yeah, but the whole thing is, I think eventually someone is gonna compete from an angle and a founder that's not willing to sell.

Starting point is 00:13:35 That's the problem with founders, they sell, right? So you start a company, Zuck's not selling Facebook, but if Zuck with a sold Facebook, it's a whole different issue, right? You look at Twitter, Jack kept it, right? You look at a MySpace, MySpace Tim, Tom, what was his name?

Starting point is 00:13:51 Tom, what is the guy's name? Tom was his name? He sold, right? You have no last name. But here's the point I'm trying to make to you is, then there is some companies that whether it's sold or not, even Apple, Apple was sold, but the vision kept a strong

Starting point is 00:14:05 and it kept continuing the way it was growing. My concern is someone's gonna come out and it's gonna compete with Apple and it's gonna come out with products and it's not gonna sell and they're gonna keep the company for 10 or 15 years. And then it can potentially compete with these guys long-term,

Starting point is 00:14:18 but we'll see what's gonna happen. They gotta come out with new products. And one thing with Apple is they're very secretive organization which I love. They always have something up their sleeve, some kind of a next is they're very secretive organization which I love. They always have something up their sleeve, some kind of an ex-product they're coming out with. I hope they stick to that. But since we brought up Amazon, Amazon's betting against working from home. They just added 3,500 employees in six major cities. The office-based work expansion includes New York, Phoenix, San Diego, Denver, Detroit, and Dallas. So they're saying, we

Starting point is 00:14:44 don't want you to work from home. We want you to work from office thoughts. Well, number one, they're doing this for one reason and one reason only ladies and gentlemen. It's because they know that November 3rd coronavirus begins to just like John Cena disappear. Okay, you're not going to it around. And there, look, people are so caught up in the day-to-day, the quick, the fast, and the ugly, that they're, bro, you were gonna see this thing disappear so quickly, and people are gonna forget about it, okay? One minute, we're all wearing masks,

Starting point is 00:15:17 literally within 48 hours, you're gonna see people not wearing masks, people not being scared, and we're like, we're gonna go back to the American way of life. And do they want people working from home? Well, I guess the big question is this. And for you and for you, why don't they want people working from home?

Starting point is 00:15:35 Is it synergy wise? Is it that they want to be, you know, people get more done in an office because somebody's looking over their shoulder. Like, what's the reason for them wanting people to come back to work? I don't look at it in a political sense. Obviously, Josh went the coronavirus direction.

Starting point is 00:15:53 I just don't think that that's their business model. You got to have huge, I mean, right now, what the malls are dying, all these anchor stores are dying, these JC pennies, these sears, these Lord and tailors are dying, what's filling stores are dying, these JC pennies, these Sears, these Lord and tailors are dying, what's filling in the space, Josh? Amazon fulfillment centers. They're taking massive real estate positions in mega malls, putting in Amazon fulfillment centers there.

Starting point is 00:16:17 You can't work from home. You got to come into the office. So they'll have the social distancing, believe me, they'll be wearing masks. And that's, I just still think doesn't, doesn't fit their business model. This isn't remote work for Amazon. I mean, I think you got a literally show up to work. Bro, simple. People stopped eating hamburgers for a little while during mad cow disease. All right. Are they eating hamburgers again? They're 100% eating hamburgers again. Yeah, but beyond meat is probably just as big as hamburgers these days. That's, I mean, it's what are you saying?

Starting point is 00:16:49 That there's not capitalism. There's going to be options. What he's trying to say is people are going to go back to life, regular life. Like, they're going to go back to regular living, working from an office. That's what he sees. He's not defending your friends beyond meat's company.

Starting point is 00:17:02 He's just saying in fact that I've actually never had me on meat, I'm just shout out to the creators of Brown Meat. I mean, their evaluation is probably ridiculous these days. You've never actually been had it. Impossible. Meats a little bit better though. Impossible. I mean, you're eating this. The the the ironic part is you're the freaking vegan here. That's the ironic part here. You're defending the mad cow disease people and you're the vegan. No my whole my whole point is All messed up. My whole point is is that we're going back to the normal way of life as soon as the election happens and now no longer Can and boy I can't wait till we get to the DNC because I got some stuff to say about what they were saying about

Starting point is 00:17:38 Coronavirus biggest fear mongers and by the way a real quick shout out. Who is the actor that just know the actor who just sold his Jin Company to somebody for six? Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds. What a man. But real quick, Ryan Reynolds. Here's an actor. Okay.

Starting point is 00:17:58 Hilarious guy. Women love this guy. It's a different kind of a track than this woman have for him over Thor. Thor's more, you know, Reynolds is just he's the guy That makes you laugh, you know, he's got that he's got that you got a little bit of Ryan Reynolds I'll take it. I'll take some of this guy this guy sells gin for $610 million and by the way, he makes some of the you're an ad guy

Starting point is 00:18:20 Have you seen his ads? What kind of ads he makes? Yes, some of the most creative guy. Have you seen his ads? What kind of ads he makes? Yes. You make some of the most creative. Do you see him and George Clooney? Yes. Did ads for each other in company? Just to help each other. How crazy is that?

Starting point is 00:18:31 Collaborative. Yeah. Brilliant. So anyways, just a quick thing. Nothing to get into. There is no Trump connection here, but we just want to get Ryan Reynolds some love for 600 10 million dollars. A capitalist while making movies good for him.

Starting point is 00:18:44 So with that being said, something tells me Josh is just, you know, feigning the DNC conversation. I think I think the DNC conversation, you know, Josh has been missing for the last few days just so you know that. Josh has been missing for the last few days. No one's been able to find him. That is wife, not his kids, not his family, not us. No one's been able to find Josh. He has been watching reruns of DNC over and over and over and over again. I think he watched the AOC speech probably 20 times already. And then obviously last night we had Joe Biden. We had Kamala Harris.

Starting point is 00:19:18 We had Elizabeth Warren. We had a few other people. I watch every single one of them to just kind of get a feel for him. But I'm going to start off with, typically I'll go to you. Just I'm gonna go to Adam Oh, yes, Josh is fiendin fiendin go ahead tell me Did you watch did you watch some of this? I did watch a little bit of it and I think You know it I think tie put a thumbs up share this we are 80 if 73 away from crossing a thousand up, share this, we are 73 away from crossing a thousand people watching live. Within the first 20 minutes.

Starting point is 00:19:47 By the way, I'm hoping our audio is back and our video is back because we're not getting any commentary. We're good to go. We have to switch. We were on guest Wi-Fi, who we were usually on employee Wi-Fi. Now we're on T1 hardline, so we're scored away. So put the thumbs up, share it, and put the subscribe button as well. With that being said, Adam, go ahead.

Starting point is 00:20:06 Tell us. When did Kamala speak? Was that two nights ago? Uh, yes. Okay, so I'm actually going to say two different things right here. We're talking about the presidential ticket right here. We got Biden versus Trump. We got Kamala Harris versus Mike Pence.

Starting point is 00:20:22 This might shock you. I'm not feeling Kamala Harris. I'm just not not. I just I don't know what something about her I'm just not feeling but I watched let me actually use his Josh voices. I watched the DNC for one reason and one reason only Ladies and gentlemen my good friend over here Josh Ferris Dean has been basically saying that Biden is locked in his basement, he's got dementia, he's basically a dead man, weakened at Bernie's, so I watched the DNC speeches and all that for one reason and one reason only.

Starting point is 00:20:56 I just wanted to see Biden actually could deliver anything. Like was this a dead, they're gonna roll him out there or are they gonna weaken at Bernie and this this guy up was he gonna be a puppet and you know what was his speech amazing no was it horrible no was it inspiring no but you know what it what what you know what it was and this is actually what should what Republican should fear you know what it was. It was just normal. It was just normal. He get up there. He said his words.

Starting point is 00:21:29 He didn't have dementia. He didn't have Alzheimer's. He was just a, he was just normal. And I think that's what America just actually is looking for these days. Just a return to normalcy. So that's my opinion. I think he was just,

Starting point is 00:21:44 wow. He did not inspire anyone. So that's my opinion. I think he was just wow. He did not he did not inspire anyone. He did not lose anybody. I saved you up for the 12% of women that are watching us right now to tell you, compared to Ryan Reynolds. I'll take that. And then you come and you say this was a great speech because it was normal. I just thought it was I don't think he I don't think he did anything great and I don't think he did anything horrible. I think it was normal. I just thought it was, I don't think he did anything great and I don't think he did anything horrible. I think it was just normal.

Starting point is 00:22:08 Normal. Would you marry a normal girl? I would not marry a normal girl. Would you vote for a normal person to be a person? At this point in our life, let me look right into the crowd. I will take normal. First of all, I will take normal.

Starting point is 00:22:22 Would all the crisis going on worldwide? You want a normal leader? I want someone who could just get us back to neutral and you want the same thing for months now just get us back to neutral we've got a drunk driver in the White House we just need someone to get us we need an Uber driver and I'm sure we'll cover if lift and it's probably lift I don't anything he's over by okay we just need someone who's not drunk behind the wheel to get us back to normal I will take normal these days with all the craziness in 2020. Okay, normal sounds great. All right. I'm looking for vanilla ice cream Let me go ahead and break that down because if you want to talk about normal, let's talk

Starting point is 00:23:05 about not so normal. What about the human highlight head, Billy Eilish, having to come on and stump for not so much for Biden, but against Trump. But she comes live live. She comes to the DNC from Joe Biden's home, aka a graveyard. Okay, if you've watched it, it is the weirdest, stupidest, most unnormal, abnormal, ass-nine thing I've ever seen, purple haze in the background.

Starting point is 00:23:36 She's backlit, she's got a human highlighter hair, the green, I mean, it's not even green all the way. It's been growing out green and black. She looks like the flippin flipping Joker dressed in her purple, like, look, look. And what is she saying? We must love America. We must get rid of Trump for equality for the same old bull

Starting point is 00:23:57 crap we hear every day. Let me tell you this, there's a reason that Rasmussen, and I'm not a big pole guy, but there's a reason that Rasmussen and I'm not a big pole guy, but there's a reason that Rasmussen Says that during the DNC that Trump's approval rating went up by four points Adam. It's insane because what I got the greatest thing Okay, go ahead that could ever happen The greatest thing you can't run around saying I don't trust the polls I don't trust the polls. I don't trust the polls

Starting point is 00:24:22 You can't believe the polls and you're in the second Oh the second brother that one decent poll comes out favoring Trump. You're like oh, Rasputin said Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Okay, if it's pure if it's a few Pew I'm good with past musin. There's a couple of them Quinn a Piac. There's only a couple of them There's not that many of them. Okay, but go ahead. So you do trust some polls Only the ones that consistently tell you where it's kind of add not trust Fox Fox Fox at all zero Fox news. I don't trust Fox No, what would I what we mean? What that like me saying, what do you think about, you know, you're sitting there. I'm writing an article about insurance industry. And I'm going to say what I'm going to say about insurance industry.

Starting point is 00:25:11 You and I, and we wrote there, of course, we're going to say good things about insurance, but I want a pure, I don't look at any Fox CNN MSNBC. So what's the one poll we can all trust? Can we, can we, can we actually answer this? Well, let me go ahead and take a quick poll. Josh Fearstein, do you believe that Donald Trump's going to win the election? 100% I do. 100% of people pulled say that they believe that Donald Trump is going to win the election.

Starting point is 00:25:32 That is the problem with the polls. But even that to ask more than a thousand people, even a rass moose and even rass moose and we know that pollsters and the media tend to skewed in not just 10, but actually skewed to the left. I think it was what? 94% to 6% of journalists. So let's just go ahead and back up and look at that. Trump's approval rating right now

Starting point is 00:25:57 is two points higher than Obama's approval rating was when he was in office. That's a fact. That's not a poll. I'm saying literally, according to Rasmussen, who tends to skew left. I'm telling you right now that during the DNC, this was the beautiful thing about the DNC center talking about the DNC, is that the more that they kept talking America realized exactly how sane Trump is because they realized how insane the Democrats are. And they also realized how much their liars who want me to prove it to you is that

Starting point is 00:26:31 you got Nancy Pelosi and all these other people saying, and it was what? It was all about coronavirus, 160,000 Americans are dead because of Trump's response to coronavirus. Dude, Trump was the one that was telling them to shut down the country. Trump was the one that was stopping travel from China. Trump was the one that says, no, they can't come over here anymore. What was Nancy Pelosi doing? That's racist. That's horrible. I can't believe that he would be such a racist, bigoted person. And Nancy Pelosi was going down to Chinatown,. Okay little Chinatown right there in San Fran, you know what Tom Brinham and said about San Fran. Okay, we won't say it. Okay, horrible,

Starting point is 00:27:11 horrible. Look, Nancy Pelosi goes down to Chinatown in the middle of all of that and says, what? Oh, guys, it's safe to come down here. Come down here. Spend money. Bring your tourism down there. What? Why COVID is going on? Why she's telling Trump that he's racist for shutting down the country. And now they come full circle and say, it's Trump's fault. It's Trump's fault. It's Trump's fault. Dude, they are talking outside both sides of their mouth.

Starting point is 00:27:37 In fact, they're not just talking out of their mouth. They're talking out of their butt because that's how stinky and stupid their ideas are. And the more they keep talking, the better it is for Trump. I say cancel the RNC and just put Democrats up there to keep talking. When is the RNC? It's coming up in about a week or so, I think. I think it's the same time we're doing it. It's the same time they're doing it.

Starting point is 00:27:56 Yes. Now, let's just talk about how stupid Republicans are for a second. Okay. Why in the world are the Republicans going to allow? Why are they participating in this USPS inquiry funded and backed and initiated by Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats? The Republicans, dude, Trump is a strategist. Sometimes the Republicans, they're stupid. They're just not so much. They're allowing these hearings to go on at the same time that the RNC is going on.

Starting point is 00:28:32 Okay. Why? Why would you allow the spectacle over here to take away from the message of the RNC platform? Like they're, they're level of a strategy. He is just on the level of uh... strategy is just on the level of trumps and so i think that that that is that's one stupid move that the rnc is is making but josh are you a republican i'm a conservative you're conservative you're not you're not a republican though i identify as a conservative first and then i am republican by the fact that my conservative of revolu of uh...

Starting point is 00:29:03 values most align with the Republican party. Okay, but you wouldn't call yourself a Republican. I mean, I'm registered as a Republican. So you are a Republican. I'm saying though that my core values are conservative, but as in passwords, what's your point? I just want to know what you are because you talk a lot of trash about the Republican party.

Starting point is 00:29:23 I think the last episode you were basically saying. Because I'm intellectually honest. Okay, the last episode, you were basically saying. Because I'm intellectually honest. Okay, but you also, you know, you registered as a, I just wanna know what you are. I mean, I think the audience wants to know what you are. I mean, last week. Are you going somewhere with this?

Starting point is 00:29:34 Can I just fucking stay right here? There's nowhere I'm going. I just wanna ask a question to go somewhere. Last week, Josh was basically saying that it's gonna be MAGA versus the United States of America. Basically, you're trying to insinuate whether he's more Trump than he's more Republican.

Starting point is 00:29:50 Yeah, I'm just wondering, because even if Trump wins, right, even if, right, and say that. Hey, Pat, you're going to need to change your password again. Again? Oh my gosh, this is ridiculous. OK, keep going. There you go, keep going. I'm just done with this.

Starting point is 00:30:12 Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. That's an inside joke with us and Valentines, but it's only a thousand people watch. It's not a big deal. God. I just, you know, all over the country. Oh my goodness. Keep going, buddy. Go ahead. Obviously, we have a very, very mega crowd. And how great would this show be if it was just three mega idiots, just sucking Trump's D every episode? That'd be no fun. So obviously, we need a little banter here.

Starting point is 00:30:40 So to my lovely, value-tanner friends out there, I hope you appreciated a different perspective from time to time. rather than me just sitting here agreeing with Josh the whole time, that would not be for a time for band-in. Are you going somewhere? Can I, yes, I'm going somewhere with this. Josh, last week's, you know, before the audio issues, basically was insinuating that the Republican party is dead,

Starting point is 00:30:59 that it's all, it's just gonna be mega versus America. Yes, true. So, you know, Trump maybe, maybe has four more years, maybe. And then what happens to the MAGA party? Does someone lift up the mantles? Is the job for unpatri- I think Pat. President, what happens to that?

Starting point is 00:31:13 I think Pat actually had it correct the other day. All right, I think that MAGA has a future. And part of me thought it was maybe Nikki Haley, all right? But I think Pat gave a better suggestion. and it just so happens you're going to be hanging out with him pretty soon. Okay. I think the future is somebody like Trey Gaudy. Somebody that's got some-

Starting point is 00:31:34 Is he a Maga guy though? Bro, I think that he is in the spirit. Look, you don't have to agree with everything that Trump says in order to be a Maga guy. It's about the spirit of Maga. It's about drain the swamp. It's about we hate this career politician bull crap. It's that we hate all of this stuff, all of the backroom deals.

Starting point is 00:31:52 It's that we hate all of these people that are in Washington for 40 years. Don't get crap done. I agree with you, Josh. I agree with you. Welcome to the Maga party. I agree with you on the drain the swamp thing. What was the guy that just got arrested?

Starting point is 00:32:05 What was that guy's name? Oh Steve Bannon. No, I was actually not thinking of bannon. I was thinking of was it manifort? Or was it Michael Cohen? No, it was It was not Michael Cohen. It was Michael Flynn. Huh, it wasn't Michael Flynn It was Everybody Give him a thumbs up. I can't oh holy moly It was for play for play for play for play. Oh, that's what it was oh Okay, let me just say something why does every single person close to trump get arrested here? It's like Thank you for making my point.

Starting point is 00:32:46 Okay, it's, are you ready? Putin poisoning his rivals is like Trump's come projories, get comrades being arrested. So speaking of drain the swamp, every single person close to Trump ends up getting arrested and or resigning. How many generals have left Trump's office? How many Republican national security advisors, how many former Republicans are basically saying, look, I'm Republican, I've been Republican my whole life, I can't do this anymore. I'm not talking

Starting point is 00:33:16 that the reason that I've asked you all these questions, this for play, though, what's your point? I'm trying to pin you down. I'm trying to understand what the hell is going on in the Republican party. You've got Colin Powell You've got John Casey. Colin Powell has hasn't even dude. These are Republicans. Pro. Pro. Colin Powell has not sudden back. I can't do this. Colin Powell has not backed the Republican in the last flipping 10 to 16 years. Okay. Okay. Okay. But People of Ohio John Casey is a jackpot nobody even likes him except for the good people of Ohio who have voted for him and voted for him and voted for him and voted for him so so Adam comes to the middle, so I'm saying Josh is you're hanging on the goalpost Adam has just come

Starting point is 00:33:57 meet me in the middle buddy come meet me in the middle Adam has this wonderfully little beautiful smug look on his face because he thinks, oh brothers and sisters, he thinks that he just scores a point on Josh for your stand. But let me go ahead and tell you something. Don't make this a bug. You have wondering what the hell is going on with, I'm gonna tell you. Everyone around him gets arrested.

Starting point is 00:34:18 Buddy, I'm gonna explain it to you right now. You actually made a perfect point in that all of the people around Trump are being prosecuted, but you didn't see the second degree. You didn't look deeper down the rabbit hole because you actually proved my point. All of the people around Trump are getting prosecuted, but the people around Obama, the people in the DNC that continually commit crimes. What about, I don't know, let's say Hillary Clinton, okay? Nobody's prosecuting her.

Starting point is 00:34:54 She hasn't gotten prosecuted, okay? All of the people in Obama's administration that got caught running guns and doing all of this bull crap. They haven't been prosecuted. I wish William Barr would go ahead and hand down some indictments. You want to know why? Because they went after everybody around Trump.

Starting point is 00:35:11 Each one of us right here, if they were to dive into everything from Mark taxes to everything that's ever been done, there's a regulator somewhere that would find something that they could prosecute us on. Okay. Here's the deal, bro, is that they've come after the people around Trump and you wanna know why they came after banning?

Starting point is 00:35:28 You wanna know why they came after banning? Because it's election season. And they said, hmm, who's one more person that we could go after? Now, chances are he probably did something wrong. I'm sure he didn't cross an eye or dot. Hold on, what? So he did do something wrong?

Starting point is 00:35:41 I'm saying chances are, I don't know. Okay, okay. So chances are he did do something wrong. He deserves saying chances are, I don't know. Okay. Okay. But chances are he did do something wrong. He deserves, no, I'm saying, is that- You just said chances are he did something wrong. From a regulation perspective, there's a good chance that he did something that would be deemed illegal. Okay.

Starting point is 00:35:58 So there's- He was caught on a crime. Just listen. This billionaire's vote. That's not a crime, bro. That's not a crime to be on a Chinese billionaires vote my my my my

Starting point is 00:36:08 by the way this is very good point both of you guys are making on one end you're saying why is everybody around Trump getting arrested that's what you're saying right i'm just i'm just reading the name okay yeah so what he saying is why is it that everybody's only arresting people around Trump? So why is that? Why is it that everybody's going after that? And they're not going after Hillary or Bill or all these other guys that they can go after? So you said, how come that's not happening?

Starting point is 00:36:31 So the FBI is just running rampant, is what you're saying. Bro, we know the FBI is lifted. Let me just say this, what happened yesterday? Let me just say what happened yesterday? Yesterday had an FBI agent here sitting with me. He's named Chris Graham. Kai, Chris Graham is his FBI agent, 26 year FBI agent. He's interviewed and detained and he's gone through

Starting point is 00:36:48 a lot of the Taliban folks that he did things with. He was a part of the MacMillian documentary that was aired on HBO, the six series that he talked about and you know, McDonald's. What's your point? It makes McDonald's a whole thing. Yesterday we talked while I'm doing the interview, back to back two things happened.

Starting point is 00:37:04 One, a former CIA agent, okay, a former CIA agent, if I don't have it here, I have it on my screen here, a former CIA agent comes out, okay, and gets arrested for what he did. And FBI lawyer comes out just yesterday, admits to false statement during Russia probe, false statement during Russia probe, false statement during Russia probe, that he was holding things back, I'm not pleading guilty,

Starting point is 00:37:31 once they altering a document, altering a document related to the secret surveillance of a former Trump campaign advisor during the Russian investigation. Kevin Kleinsmith is the first current or former official to be charged in a special justice department first. Review of the investigation into ties between Russian and Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign.

Starting point is 00:37:50 Attorney General William Bar pointed John Durham, the U.S. Attorney Connecticut, to scrutinize decisions made by officials during the pro. What's the point here? No one in America trusts the FBI today. The guy I'm interviewing yesterday who was a 26 year FBI says, this and I hope we regain the trust. He felt guilty while I'm doing the interview. This is a 26 year FBI agent that I'm talking to. But going back to some things we talked about,

Starting point is 00:38:12 let's stay on the DNC here, because I'm going to go back to what things were said and what messages I saw. Here's what I saw. I listened to Obama's speech. Obama's speech, he was in front of the Constitution, in Philadelphia. And this is a guy that studied the Constitution

Starting point is 00:38:26 So he's come but he said something very interesting during his speech He said during the time we improve this Constitution through civil war improved improve this Constitution improve this Constitution through civil war hinting at other changes possibly coming soon Then he said Biden and Kamala care about, meaning Trump doesn't care about people. Again, science and logic, you noticed the last time I talked about how much they're saying they trust science. They trust science. They have done a great conference call.

Starting point is 00:38:53 And they had every speaker saying trust science and logic, science, science, science, science, science. Everyone's been on that message. Then he made it, he says, we have to make it easier for people to go out there and cast their ballot, again, having to do with voting, which is a message that's been going across, using military against peaceful protesters, as what Obama said, wise Trump using military against peaceful protesters. We both know, all three of us know that not all the protesting has been very peaceful.

Starting point is 00:39:19 How many Louis Vuitton stores have been, how many malls, how many snap and peaceful, a lot of people have taken advantage of it. And then he had a fight, John Lewis, okay, what John Lewis did. And then he tried to give a unified message, which I think he does a great job doing that. That's what Obama said, okay, Obama. And I believe Obama speech, that's Obama. I fully believe Obama, that's Obama's Obama, okay.

Starting point is 00:39:40 Then Elizabeth Warren got up, which Black Lives Matter letter in the background and a classroom she was in and she, if you saw, I don't know if you saw those three, the LM, the BLM that was in a background. You have to really look at it closely, three letters, toys and the kids room. So she talked about childcare, okay. COVID is a crisis that Donald Trump and every Republican supported him. COVID, COVID crisis is on Donald Trump and every Republican who's supporting him. Obama one thing he said, he says you have to vote down the aisle.

Starting point is 00:40:11 Everything you see Democrat vote for because they want to win Senate and they want to have House and they want to have presidency. If they have presidency House and Senate, crazy things are going to happen. So that's war. Hillary Clinton spoke, her hair looked very funny by the way. Typically her hair looks better, but her hair looked funny. She looked like she just put gel on. She looked like Ken Philny's here.

Starting point is 00:40:28 She's kind of Hillary. Hillary. She did a slick back. I don't know what it was like, a mob message she was sending. That you doubling it up to the Republican? So she gave it to her. I was Trump knew what it took to be a president. That was her line.

Starting point is 00:40:39 I was Trump knew what it took to be a president. Meaning, I know what it takes to be president. He doesn't know what it takes to be president. And then she said, this can't be another woodish or a cutoff election. Meaning a lot of people came up to me over the years and they would say, I should have voted for you. I didn't come out.

Starting point is 00:40:52 This can mean it come out voters, vote because Black Lives Matter. And then she said, Biden and Kamala can win by three million votes and still lose. I know that. Leave me, I know. So yeah. So then Kamala came out and she gave her message and she talked about her mom, which I thought it was interesting because she said, my mom's Indian and a lot of people are referencing

Starting point is 00:41:10 her as being fully African-American. And to me, I think Kamala Harris is very attractive. I think she's very easy on the eye. When you look at her on camera, I think it's a appealing person to see how she looks. And she's a decent speaker. She build up her values and principles with her mom that taught her and she said none of us are free unless all of us are free. Good message. I give it a six on what she did.

Starting point is 00:41:33 Kamala. Okay then Biden comes up and there's a couple of things you got to give credit to Biden's message whoever wrote it if he wrote it great but there's a couple of things you got to give credit. He said I will work for those who supported me and those who didn't, which is a great message. Unfortunately, that's not the case, but it's good to say. Then he said, thank you Obama, you were president. That kids were able to look up to, you were president. That kids were able to look up to.

Starting point is 00:41:56 He said, no one looks up to the current president, his words. We will never get the economy back unless, if we get our dignity back, best way to recover from a loss and grief is to find purpose. He knows that from experience with his son, Bo, and his first wife that died in the car accident. He talked about climate change. We don't need a tax plan who rewards wealth, then work. What he said, lost his first wife, you know, all the stuff that he talked about. We will be a generation that stops racism. And he says, how you had a conversation with Gianna Floyd, who was George Floyd's daughter, and she said to him,

Starting point is 00:42:27 she whispered in his ears, daddy changed the world, right? And then you got a couple of other things. But here's a point, here's a point. I'm a data guy. Try to go up there and I said, okay, here's a guy, at this point, that doesn't matter. Okay, here's a guy, here's. Okay, here's a guy, no, no, no, no. Here's a guy.

Starting point is 00:42:47 Here's a guy that is running for office, gives a speech, okay, message. Do you know how many views his video got in 24 hours? Who would have been? Bydons, bydons video. Like 30 views? No, in that 30 views, it's on. Like 30 views? No, not 30 views. It's on NBC.

Starting point is 00:43:06 Got 150, 160,000 views. Kamala Harris got 348,000 views in two days. Now you may say Pat, what's the point with this number? I'm telling you, what Tom said to me the other day was very powerful. He said 42% of Republicans are not changing. 44% of Democrats are not changing. 44% of Democrats are not changing. 4% of green and libertarians are not changing. You're dealing with 10%. If 60% of the 10% vote Trump over Obama over Biden, it's a tie. It has to be 65, 35% of the

Starting point is 00:43:38 10% right? There's going to be 10% of the population that are simply watching the saying, I am bored out of my mind. I had to watch Joe Biden speech on 2.0 to sound motivational. If you listen to them 1.0, honestly, it's like the cure for insomnia. You will fall asleep if you listen to the speech. Nothing about it is inspirational. It's very boring and the views and the data says, and nobody watched it. It's vanilla. It's very vanilla.

Starting point is 00:44:03 I said that. You cannot do that today when you're going up against a guy that is not vanilla. He's going to come out the gates. He's going to give us speech and everything what I listen to. Here's what I listen to. Let me give you the basics of it. Here's the basics of it. When you talk dirty to a woman,

Starting point is 00:44:23 do you say, you know, things like, oh my gosh, this is going to be the potentially. I don't know. It could be bad, but I may come very fast, but, you know, I may please you and bad things may happen, but let's see what's going to happen. No, that's how they're talking dirty. It's all fear. It's the end of the world. And America's lost this, coronavirus, this, cases, this, all the... You're supposed to say, oh, wait till you see what I'm... It's like you got to talk dirty. Nothing about the DNC talk dirty to the audience. Sell me the damn dream. Tell me my dreams are going to become a reality. Obama talked about dreams. MLK talked about dreams. There's nobody

Starting point is 00:45:07 referencing my dreams. What is the voters dreams? Tell me my dream. Tell me if I elect you Biden, my dreams are going to become a reality. There's nothing about the speech that made me believe my dreams are going to become a reality now. On the other side, if the RNC comes out and their messaging is the fact that this is about dreams, this is about freedom, this is about this, this is about that, forget about politics, that message talks dirty and the other message doesn't talk dirty.

Starting point is 00:45:38 Nothing about the DNC talked dirty to me. I was bored out of my mind listening to it. You have, and the only person that talked a little bit of dirt were two people, and neither one of them. And one of them said this the other day. Here's what the one of them said the other day. A two-term president said this the other day, that came out on business insider. Obama said, about we can go verify this on, it's on Washington Post, you can find it everywhere. Obama said to a peer of his, this is according to political, that Obama told another Democrat during the 2020 primary campaign, don't underestimate Joe's ability to f things up.

Starting point is 00:46:17 This is what the article says. Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f things up. Michelle's not running. Michelle's not running. Obama's not running. Biden's running. You can't excite me with that message right there. So unfortunately, I just don't see this being a crazy thing. And on top of that, you know what's the real horror story?

Starting point is 00:46:36 Let me give you the real horror story. Let me give you the real horror story. They say the reason why the rockets haven't been able to advance is why because you live by the three you die by the three. The difference between the Golden State Warriors and everybody else was when they won a championship guess what they had. They had Andre Godawa who played defense. They had Dream on Green who played defense.

Starting point is 00:47:00 They had Clay Thompson who played defense. So they were able to shoot a lot of threes and miss them because they were going to stop you on the other end. But guess what? Harden doesn't play defense, right? Okay, where am I going with this? What's your point, Pat? Here's my point.

Starting point is 00:47:12 My point to you is this. If you campaign on coronavirus, if you campaign on the economy, and coronavirus cases are going down and coronavirus death is going down, which is what's happening right now. And the economy is going back up. It is game over done. Go home, pack your bags, you screwed up with your campaign.

Starting point is 00:47:35 You relied on something, you had no control over, even though as much as you controlled the media, you try to put the fear of COVID-19 and coronavirus, it is not going to happen. And yesterday, Wall Street came out and they said half the money is going to Biden right now. Okay, this didn't happen during Obama. On the Obama money went to the other side, but this time money is coming to Biden. Why is it going to Biden? Is it because they feel the economy is going to do better? Or they feel they can control and come up with new regulation? Because bigger businesses guess what they like.

Starting point is 00:48:04 They don't care about taxes bigger businesses make more money than there's more regulation makes it harder for smaller business to compete with them he's raising capital gains taxes to 28% 28% if he raises it to 28% I have to change the company's comp structure if I have to change the company's comp structure. If I have to change the company's comp structure, guess who takes a hit? Sales people, employees, and everybody else. This ties to the small business center.

Starting point is 00:48:32 So the campaign, logically, emotionally, in every possible way, doesn't excite me. All right, let's go and break down a couple things. Because Pat, you brought up some really, really, really good points. The DNC, first of all, is going out there saying that they're the party of science. break down a couple things because Pat, you brought up some really, really, really good points. The DNC, first of all, is going out there saying that they're the party of science. If you're the party of science, then why in the world will you not go to science when,

Starting point is 00:48:53 I don't know, let's say a man is a man and a woman is a woman. Like, why is it, if science says two X chromosomes make a man and an X, or an X, Y chromosome makes a man, an X, X chromosome makes a woman. Why won't you believe it then? So why are you the party that literally defies all science for the gender spectrum? Okay, now if we're gonna talk dirty, let's talk about Kamala Harris.

Starting point is 00:49:20 Here's the woman that's fighting the patriarchy, the proverbial patriarchy, breaking the glass ceiling, like I'm a woman, hear me roar, I'm strong, then why in the world were you doing little diddlies under the desk for Willie Brown in order to get ahead? And this is going to be a major issue for her because they're going to start talking about like, dude, this is going to be a huge talking point for Trump and for all of the R&C. Is, oh, you're a person of values, you say, but yet you were given handies and all this other stuff to, uh, you're

Starting point is 00:49:51 speculating, by the way, to say, no, that is speculation. Willie Brown has admitted this. He is admitted this. I read the article. Believe me, I've read the article is what Willie Brown, I think it was when he was 16, he was married. He was dating her. He was publicly dating her.

Starting point is 00:50:05 There's plenty of pictures of them together. While he's married. So if we're talking about values, well, I wouldn't call that a values. Now, the other thing about Joe Biden, and this is what I think is kind of unfair because to me, it reminds me of Hezbollah and Hamas and all this stuff, is hiding in this place

Starting point is 00:50:22 where you can't be attacked, okay? Meaning Hezbollah, Hamas, and all of these other places, they'll hide in schools and synagogues and religious places or mosque because they know that they can't be attacked there. So Joe Biden talks a lot about his grief and grief as for me. Look, a lot of people have experienced grief. Okay? It doesn't necessarily qualify them to be president, okay? I think though that there is, and I don't know if you're cool going into it, it'll take us about 30 to 45 seconds.

Starting point is 00:50:54 There is a new breed of young politicians that are coming up. And I just want to show you this one little ad, it's gone viral. Now you're talking about views for the DNC. This one girl. Are you Baltimore? Yes. Totally gone viral. She's walking into streets 30 million views.

So she, now it's like 30 million. Okay. Okay, Pat, we're, we're, we're good. If you, if you go watch his ad, all right, this is marketing because really elections come down

Starting point is 00:52:14 to marketing, right? This is good marketing. The one thing that the Democrats are missing as Pat so eloquently put, they're missing a future based proposition. You're not like Trump had one make America great again. Okay, he's saying let's look in the future and let's do this. Let's get the dial back up. Well, he sold people on a dream. They're not set like like like like every good car salesman when he gets it. He gets you in the car and the first thing they want to do

Starting point is 00:52:41 is take you on a test drive, right? They know if they take you on a test drive, you're like 700, got to talk dirty. More like imagine driving up to the car. Love the miss car. I tell you, if you run for office, you have to talk dirty. If you're, if you're trying to win a girl over, you got to talk dirty. And then you have to do what?

Starting point is 00:53:00 You got to deliver. You got to deliver. You got to talk dirty and you got to deliver. It's a combination that's been on for a long time. Okay. So you brought the the whole don't underestimate Obama said don't underestimate the ability for Joe to fuck things up you got to send that there's a tone thing you got to send in the hip hop community he might have said yeah he bought the

Starting point is 00:53:17 fuck shit up like it's a little different vibe highly doubt that oh my it's like you taking your wham and and change the wham to be about to get it. Well, assets and property is the one Adam posted. By the way, FY, we just crossed 1500 for the very few somewhere at 1541. Much love to all of you. The channel is now at 10,100 subs. If you haven't subscribed to the channel, please do so. I think real quick, I know some of you guys don't like the sports stuff, let's get into the brackets real quick.

Starting point is 00:53:46 Who doesn't like sports? Some of the guys that kind of want to talk intellectual stuff, but let's do some sports because we like sports and we want to go through these brackets. And we picked these a couple days ago. Yes, we did. And by the way, my picks, I stuck to them,

Starting point is 00:54:00 even though things have changed on the last two days. I think we should, before we reveal our picks, let's get some get the audience feedback. Who do you think is a good question? Who do you think is gonna win it all? And go all the way to the end and have my own views on why I think something's gonna be changing, but we'll see what it takes place.

Starting point is 00:54:17 So, Lakers Blazers, why don't you go through your picks first? You just kinda go through your picks first. Laker Blazers, you got the Lakers. I got the Lakers, I got the Rockets. Okay. Yes, it's under. I've been using this super advanced algorithm because we all know that line guessing. I got the nuggets over the jazz. By the way, we have $10,000 right here. Okay. The winning bracket wins 10 Gs. I don't know. Put your pick down.

Starting point is 00:54:43 Fake money on Amazon. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, he's talking about it. Go ahead. Because the one player's definitely better than the other player and these players are killing it, the clips are going to take the maps. Shy. OK. The bugs are going to go over the magic.

Starting point is 00:54:56 The heat are going to take the pastures. I'm siding with you there. Yeah. Thank you. Seltz. I got the Celtics and I got the nets. But it's got the nets, by the way. Nets over the raptors. Broke. Because I got to pick one big under got the nets but got the nets by the way nets over the Raptors broke because I got a pick one big

Starting point is 00:55:07 I have right I have one as well and Ending champs losing to the net. Let's just go all the way There's two people with that carry in the rent. There's two people I picked by the way By the way, just so you know if this becomes a reality this is a ten million dollar bracket your space 20 bucks becomes a reality. This is a $10 million bracket. Your space 20 bucks. Bro, call me Ace empires because I'll be the number one sports picker in the world. Look, I have two people slated to win in 2020. I have Trump and I have the rockets taking everything. Okay. That's pretty intense. He's got those. Because Hardin's going to come back or Westbrook's going to come back. Well, they're up

Starting point is 00:55:42 to all right now without even Westbrook playing, which is pretty intense. Go ahead. And unfortunately, I don't see the rockets. By the way, we just lost 50 people. This tells you how much it's a lot. It's a lot of bad skidfall. Really? I'm telling you, we're dropping like, we're dropping like you wouldn't believe.

Starting point is 00:55:57 Go ahead. He says, give your pigs. Give your pigs. Who are these people playing? Give your pigs. I got the Lakers. I got the Houston. I got the Clakers, I got Houston,

Starting point is 00:56:05 I got the Clippers, verse Denver, I got the Lakers, verse the Clippers in the West. That's why I got Milwaukee and Miami advancing Toronto, verse Boston. It pains me to say that my heat are looking great. I just don't know if they're gonna be able to beat Milwaukee. I got Milwaukee and Boston in the east. And in the finals, I got the Clippers over to the Bucks. Clippers beat the Bucks. I got LA represent and I got Milwaukee in Boston in the East and in the finals. I got the clippers over the books.

Starting point is 00:56:26 Clippers beat the bucks. I got. Here's what I got. Here's what I got. Let me tell you what I got. I just I just think LeBron is distracted right now. If he stays focused, if you played that video, what happened? Kyle, you want to play that video? What happened yesterday? Energy game one versus energy game two. Watch this. It's it. They're they're ahead. He's on the bench. Look at his reaction. This is how a leader should react. Watch this reaction. That's what a leader's got to do. He didn't do that game one. His energy needs to be there. If he plays like that, one play and out means that much to you, one possession,

Starting point is 00:57:11 that's how your team responds to you. If you play like that, they're going to beat the blazers, but I have to stick to my pick that I had two days ago. It's the blazers. I don't like the fact that Lillard got hurt with his finger, even have to have to put it to get. Obviously, his shot's not going to be the same. It's going to drop a little bit, even have to have to put it to get obviously his shot's not gonna be the same. It's gonna drop a little bit,

Starting point is 00:57:26 but I got the Blazers over the Lakers. I just feel Lillard wants to make a statement, and I think he wants the world to know I wanna win a championship. LeBron's thinking about politics, movies, media, then maybe Rink, Lillard's thinking about one thing. Rink, he wants a championship. I got the Blazers, I got the rockets over the thunder. I got nuggets over jazz

Starting point is 00:57:46 I got clips over maps if maps win game one because porzengas doesn't get kicked out I had the maps going there, but the game won't change everything for me I just don't like what the refs did then when they kicked up porzengas. I obviously I got bucks heat Celtics Raptors Then I have Blazers beating the rockets. I just don't think psychologically. I think Westbrook cannot handle how little it is and little over the years has beaten them multiple times. So we'll see what's going to happen. There are a lot of people are going to be against me and I may be wrong. But I have that.

Starting point is 00:58:13 Then I have clips beating the nuggets. And then on the other side, I have a box against Celts for championship for Eastern Conference. Then I have clips against the box for championship and I'm picking the box. I think we both have Clippers, bucks, but you have clips. I have bucks. So we have the same final. So what we may need to do, what we may need to do, what we would with our six foot basketball fans here,

Starting point is 00:58:38 we just lost a hundred people on the sports side. I have never seen more hate for the Chinese basketball association. All right. So that's the basketball. Now we know our audience now. Let's come back. Now let's come back. By the way, I got I got to just do this yesterday.

Starting point is 00:58:52 I want to got a haircut with my buddy Michael Rapatoni. Rapatoni. DFW Barbars dot com DFW Barbars dot com. And Rapatoni just opened up his his barbershop. And when you go up to his barber shop, he's got a sign right outside that says walkins, walkin' with Christopher Walkins picture. Amazing.

Starting point is 00:59:10 Right across the street is a barber that's been there for 50 years and he decided to open up his barber shop. When I tell you, when I'm gettin' a haircut, I look to my right, it's right there. And he says, wait, wait, you see what things I'm gonna be doin', but I'm excited.

Starting point is 00:59:24 I support small businesses and Michael shout out to you if you're in Plano, Dallas any of these areas go get a haircut by Rapatoni's barber shop you will love this place and by the way if you wear his shirt while you're getting a haircut You buy a shirt for 20 bucks if you wear his shirt while you get in a haircut he gives you five dollar discount Wow great marketing But I'm not getting any discounts. I told him he he doesn't take my money I said there's no way I'm coming to your business and not taking and not giving you money We got him a nice 80 65 in screen TV to put over. We got him a lot of nice stuff for his place But it was good man a Michael. Can I give a quick shout out? Sure. I got to give a quick shout out here guys You gave a shout out to rap patoni. I know we're moving on from politics. I want to give a shout out to our future

Starting point is 01:00:08 president. It's his 22nd birthday this weekend. Look out for this guy in about 40 years, 24 years, 824. There's a young man. He can't spell for shit, but we love him. And then it's the guy. Luda's turning 22. Happy birthday. Kai, the Norwegian sensation. Future president. Oh, yeah, he's half American. Half American. By the way, he's never had a girlfriend,

Starting point is 01:00:48 Norwegian Iron Man. Happy birthday, Kai. Norwegian Iron Man. Can I get a goal pass this coffee play soccer with them? Anyways, all right. Let's see what things to talk about here. Here's a topic that was brought up.

Starting point is 01:00:59 Hey, Pat, just quick shout out. Alan says he's 37 pages into your book. And the amount of notes that he has is absolutely insane. Oh, I love it. I love to hear. By the way, you know, real quick for the book just so you guys know, this book came out a couple days ago. We ran an ad that even pissed off Adam's mom.

Starting point is 01:01:17 Oh my God. Who was furious. We the ad I think ran out two, three days ago, a couple days ago. And and the ad, the content, everything that we've done, the ad, I think, ran out two, three days ago, a couple days ago, and the ad, the content, everything that we've done, the book is now ranked, I think it's a bestseller now on Amazon. It's a number one bestseller on Amazon, Embarrassed and Noble, and the audible is doing great.

Starting point is 01:01:36 I mean, I don't know how many stories that's being sent to me on Instagram, on Twitter, on Facebook, all over the place, the love that we're getting. And some of the interesting emails that privately people are sending me in power positions that they're reading this book and they're giving it away to their executives that are reading it. If you haven't yet gotten a copy, go ahead and get a copy. Trump just gave one to everybody on his team. And outside of that, obviously, this

Starting point is 01:02:02 one happened without the vitamin audience, much love to all of you Okay, so and before this book came out just FYI Apple was worth one trillion Tim Cook reads this book apples were two trillion congratulations It's exciting stuff. It's amazing. Okay, so how about we go to good your tires good your banning Trump Okay, you brought this up a couple days ago Where reported Tuesdays on a slide shown at a good new diversity training that listed Black Lives Matter, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pride, under acceptable while branding, blue lives matter, all lives matter, mega-attire, and politically-affiliated slogans or material under unacceptable. So you can wear black lives matter, you can wear LGBTQ community shirts,

Starting point is 01:02:48 but you cannot wear blue lives matter, you cannot wear all lives matter, you cannot wear mega attire. Good your stock decline by the following, by following the president's message, which was broadcast to over 85 million Twitter followers, closing down 2.36%. So the question becomes this,

Starting point is 01:03:04 Nike comes out and supports, CAP, the market gets excited, stock goes to the roof. But good year comes out with this position and they lose 2.36%. What is the difference between good year and Nike? I'll tell you, tell us. people that go to work have to have tires because they have cars. Okay. Good year is typically your NASCAR. Good year is typically like Nike obviously is built on a young hip type stuff like good year is built on people that put tires on their car. This pissed off so many people that I there's literally videos going viral of tire shops taking the good year tires and the good year brand out of their tire shop. And the

Starting point is 01:04:02 manager saying, we don't sell good years here anymore. Why? Because the guys in the tire industry, typically labor, hardworking, good dudes, like they said, no, and dude, like when you have Trump saying, oh screw you guys then, and the commander in chief is tweeting out against you, not so good for your brand.

Starting point is 01:04:24 I think that whoever came up with that stupid slide should definitely be fired because they just cost good year a crap ton of money. It's an unfortunate that certain things are deemed acceptable but then other sides of the aisle are deemed unacceptable. I mean, that's the problem with the very, very... And I'm not saying that Goodwill, Good Year, is liberal, liberal left, but maybe some decision-makers are. But that's the very, very, and I'm not saying that Goodwill, good year is liberal, liberal left,

Starting point is 01:04:45 but maybe some decision-makers are. But that's the problem, is that free speech should be free speech. If you want to support MAGA, go ahead and support MAGA. You want to support BLM. Go ahead and support BLM. You should not say, you can do this, but you can't do this. That's free speech. First amendment. I mean, let's just...

Starting point is 01:05:00 So you're against what Good Year is doing? I'm exempt, I'm exempt. I'm against anyone saying you can't do this, but you can do this. Hold on, that's just risk. So you're against what good you're doing. I'm exempt. I'm exempt. I'm against anyone saying you can't do this, but you can do this. Hold on, that's not right. I actually disagree. OK. They are a business.

Starting point is 01:05:13 They have every right to tell their people what you can and can't wear, especially if you're working there. OK. You have every single right to do that. The beautiful thing about the free market is that we have a right to decide if we buy your tires or not. If we boycott your stupid brand.

Starting point is 01:05:31 So I think I'm one of the few people that think they actually have a right to make whatever rules and restrictions that they want to because they're a company and it's America and you got the right to dictate what happens in your bubble. But we also have a right not to buy your stupid products. So I'll give you an idea. So I'm in DC and I'm given a talk.

Starting point is 01:05:50 OK, there's about 500 people in the audience and I'm in the DMV area. DC, I think, is Maryland, Virginia, the whole triangle there. And I'm given a talk. There's about 500 people there. It's myself, Matt Sipala, Ricky Aguilar, and a few other people that are with me. You're redouful. And the hosts locally were the hearts and corments.

Starting point is 01:06:11 Chris Amvacina and Billing Kimberly. Chris Amvacina Heart, Billing Kimberly corments, about 500 people there in the audience. 80% the audience are African-American. Okay. Now, when I say African-American, some are African, some are Asian, some are African American, some are black. So, but 80% is non-white and non-latino, okay? Black. Black. And when I'm done with the speech, Bill gets up and he has a couple of gifts for me. And he gives me a jacket by an Air Force,

Starting point is 01:06:43 because he's a former Air Force veteran. He gives me a nice fancy jacket, great, fine. And he gives me a limited edition, 45 Make America Great Again Hat in front of the entire audience. So he gives me the hat. And I'm standing up this side. He gives a white guy.

Starting point is 01:07:00 He's a white guy. He's a white guy. He's a freaking white guy. So he gives me this. And I'm looking at him, I'm saying, huh? Okay, I just got the biggest smile on my face, and I take it, and I have to say something because most of the guests were in his guests.

Starting point is 01:07:19 Yeah, he had some guests, but it wasn't the 500 that were his guests. So I have to say, this one's you know, we support every decision. This just so happens, he's a supporter, and he's given this gift, and we appreciate the gift and the gesture. And we got off, and some people got upset and walked out,

Starting point is 01:07:33 et cetera, et cetera. What's the point there? Here's the point. When do you think we'll be the next time, an NBA player will be able to go to a game where an MAGA had. An NBA player will be able to go to a game where the mega hat. An NBA player. An NBA player will be able to go out there while everybody's standing kneeling would have been a shirt on. One NBA player has got a mega hat on. I mean not in Trump's America.

Starting point is 01:07:58 I'll tell you that. But I'm asking you. Now forget about Trump's America. How do you think the league will react if a player wears a mega hat? How soon before the Lakers trading because of LeBron James? How soon? Oh, that minute. That minute, and you're saying that, okay. See, to me, that's a league. There's companies, there's leagues.

Starting point is 01:08:22 Companies are what? Hey, you don't want to wear this? Totally get it. I don't have to buy the good to your tire. I get it. Hey Nike, you want to do this no problem? I'm not going to buy the shoes. Or hey, more people are going to buy the shoes.

Starting point is 01:08:32 Good call on Nike, work out for them. Pepsi did a commercial years ago. They didn't work out for them. Couple of things they did. I don't know if you remember the Pepsi commercial kind of back part on Pepsi. Terrible commercial that they had, right? But the point I'm trying to make to you right now is,

Starting point is 01:08:45 you know, there is a big double standard thing going on right now, big double standard and some are bigger than others. Obviously in the NBA, you and I won't see anybody wearing a MAGA hat. It's very uncomfortable for me to read this and then Good Your Comes Out saying, issue and a message the next day

Starting point is 01:09:01 that the image creative misconceptions about the company and its policy stating that the visual was not created or distributed by good your corporate, nor was a part of a diversity training class. So now you change your position. You gotta be very careful nowadays. I mean, you gotta pay attention to your audience. My audience in the insurance company, I run with 16,000 agents.

Starting point is 01:09:17 Here's who I have. I'm giving a talk. And I always know who my audience is. Last year we had President Bush there. We have Kobe, they Kobe Bryant there. We have Kobe Bryant there. All these other guys there. We're at the Maraj. I'm supposed to be at MGM Grand Arena next week.

Starting point is 01:09:29 And we're doing our first virtual convention, which had a 30 minute conversation with Trey Gaudi yesterday. What an incredible conversation yesterday, Trey Gaudi and I had. At a 45 minute conversation with General Mattis earlier this week, and then with Armando's camp, Pitbull's camp, we're excited to put on a

Starting point is 01:09:45 ridiculous event next week we put a lot of money into the stink here I'm giving a talk from stage and I say how many guys here love AOC and you'll hear okay we have AOC people here how many Whoa! How many of you love Trump? Whoa! How many of you guys love Bush? Oh! How many of you guys love Clinton? Oh!

Starting point is 01:10:12 How many of you guys are Christians? Oh! How many of you guys are 70? How many of you guys are dead? And I said, how many of you guys are Muslims? How many of you guys are dead? There's a place for you here. I don't care what you are.

Starting point is 01:10:23 There's a place for you here. You can build in the company and be whatever you here. I don't care what you are. There's a place for you here. You can build in the company and be whatever you want. But I said, here's what I believe in. I believe in that, I believe in capitalism, I believe in free enterprise, I believe in freedom of assembly, I believe in freedom of press, I believe in competition. These are my views and here's why, and I respect your views. But this is what the company was founded on. You know what happens with us in the company? We're figuring out a way to get along and this thing keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. When you do things like this, what if I'm your best sales there for good year and I'm a

Starting point is 01:10:58 mega person? So what? Because on the bigger picture if you really think about it, do you remember when Obama was getting elected, everybody thought America was going to be communist? What happened? We're okay. Do you remember when Bush was getting reelected? Second time people were about to commit suicide because they thought he was going to, we're okay. You know, you remember when Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky came out, everybody said, oh my gosh, guys, we're doing okay. The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, what we've written on those papers are powerful. So, good years gotta be thinking long term saying, these things could turn around very quickly.

Starting point is 01:11:30 You gotta understand that the position's gotta be open to allow people to be there as well. So, we'll see what's gonna happen in good year. I just don't, I'm not excited about the decision that they made on what they're doing. And we'll see how the customers are gonna react. Smart decision, okay though. If you're a young player in the NBA or a guy that's just not good

Starting point is 01:11:46 You're at the like you're you're in the lower 10% Okay, the smartest move you could make put on a mag at want to know why? Your Jersey is gonna get sold more than what happened. We saw what happened with What's the guy's name? Jonathan Isaac became number two Jersey that week, but but but bro Isn't it funny how the left always claims that they're the ones that are being the guys name. Jonathan Isaac became number two Jersey that week. But, but, but, bro, isn't it funny how the left always claims that they're the ones that are being marginalized and you got all of these, uh, you know, identity politics and we're being discriminated

Starting point is 01:12:14 against. Have you been a mega supporter? Like you, you walk around anywhere. In fact, someone made a great point. You could go to a Trump rally with a Black Lives Matter shirt. Nothing's gonna happen to you. All right. But go to a Democrat rally with a Magahat, go to a BLM protest with a Magahat. Chances are you're gonna get the crap beat out of you. So really, hold on, hold on. Who is the tolerant?

Starting point is 01:12:41 What? You think you can just show up with a BLM shirt at a Trump rally and you'll just be all good? Yes, really. Yes. You can be a what? You can wear BLM shirt to a mega rally. And nobody.

Starting point is 01:12:56 And nobody. I don't know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no is going to say anything to you. I said, is you're going to be okay. The people are not going to beat you. There's not going to be a crowd that's going to be kicking you and doing all this stuff. Go to a BLM protest and wear a MAGA hat, okay? No, you'll have this. People do it for YouTube videos just to get views to see how people react. I think that's, I think this is the problem with America right now. It's that both sides you'd get spit on.

Starting point is 01:13:24 But that's not how this works. Listen, Bill Margot a lot of heat when he was going up against Muslims. And I don't know if you remember for six months when he had been aflacon, this was a, been aflacon, what was that? Six years ago, seven years ago, when he had all these people on it,

Starting point is 01:13:37 Ben Brott, Sam Harris one time, and this thing got like 20 million views, and Sam Harris like, no, here's what you have to realize, you know, with Muslims when it comes on the extremism, and Ben's like, so what so what are you you're an expert on this topic you can speak on behalf of all of us you have to watch this episode right and Bill said Bill said look I'm not telling you all but it's more There are more extremists on the Muslim then there's on the Christian side Bill more is definitely not a Christian He made a documentary called religiously. I don't know if you've seen religiousness really no is a religiousness Christian, he made a documentary called Religiously. I don't know if you've seen Religiousness.

Starting point is 01:14:03 Religiousness. Is it religiousness? Religiousness is what it's called. What was the documentary? Can you see what the Bill Maul documentary came up? What the name of it was. The point isn't, the point isn't the fact that it won't happen at MAGA.

Starting point is 01:14:17 I believe if you were BLM shirt and you go to MAGA, I do believe someone's gonna say something to you. Say something. And somebody could potentially punch you in the face. But what is it called? Religilus. Religilus. Okay.

Starting point is 01:14:30 But I do believe if you do the other way around, you will be permanently ousted, jobs, career, all that stuff, in a major difference percentage wise, then on the other side. If you wear a MAGA hat, I think the right is percentage wise, more willing to be inclusive than the left is. There's no question about it. Percentage wise, they're more willing to be inclusive than the left is. So percentage wise.

Starting point is 01:14:55 Okay, so Putin rival in critical condition after suspecting poisoning, meaning this is a guy that has been talking smack about Putin for a while, opposition leader Alexi Navalny, one of Vladimir Putin's fiercest critics, lace in coma Friday after at a Siberian hospital. After what his allies said appeared to be an appoisoning engineer by the Kremlin, if you haven't seen the video, Kai, if you got the video where he's making the noise, if you can put this up, you guys got to see this

Starting point is 01:15:25 video tonight. This incredible story. The most prominent Russian opposition leader is the latest enemy of Vladimir Putin to fall victim to possible poisoning. Maybe a connection neighboring his Chris lives. The voice of Russia's opposition silence isn't only became desperate. The ill aboard a flight force to make an emergency landing. Growning can be heard in this unconfirmed cell phone video. Navalny has gained widespread support as an anti-corruption activist with powerful enemies. None more so than Russian President's. That's good.

Starting point is 01:15:59 So Josh, thoughts. Stupidest thing that Putin can do, okay? Because, in fact, they said this of an old Christian Chinese prisoner who was threatened with his life, and he said this, he said, fine, kill me, but every drop of blood that you spill,

Starting point is 01:16:18 you make my words more powerful, okay? When you do this, what do you do? You get people behind a guy Okay, when you do this, what do you do? You Get people behind a guy that may not have even had an opportunity a chance people start saying oh man That's flippin corruption. I don't like that. He's picking on him. He's bullying and nobody likes a bully I think that he made this guy a lot more likable a lot more famous than He needed to like yeah, he may be sending a message of fear, but I just don't think it was the wisest move from a political standpoint.

Starting point is 01:16:48 I mean, you used the word stupidest move that Putin can move to... I think the adjective of this was the most Putin-y move that Putin can... This is what Putin does. He's a Putin. This is what Putin does. Oh, you don't like me, boys, and boys in your drink. This is... Putin move that Putin could this is what Putin does he's a Putin this is what Putin does

Starting point is 01:17:05 Oh, you don't like me boys in boys you drink this is this is such a Putin move. It's like Putin poises in his rival breaking news. Yeah, we heard that it's kind of like Trump affiliate gets arrested. Yeah, we get it. This is kind of what happens so Look this guy might not even make it so I I don't know what's going to even happen to this gentleman. But this is nothing new. Is the bottom line. Is Putin, Poisons, his rivals.

Starting point is 01:17:32 Pat, you had an interesting comment yesterday when we were kind of briefly discussing this. You're like, yeah, this is. I said it's honest. Yeah, you're like, this is honest. It's the whole old relationship with the process to think we talked about. It's honest. You pay, you get what you want, she gets what you want, you walk away, right?

Starting point is 01:17:47 Yeah. Yes, it's dirty. Yes, it's whatever you want to call it, but it's honest. Okay. There's no games being played. It's a very fair trade, right? I'm putting my poison people. How you doing? How you like me now? What this tells you is this is why no matter what they say, America is the greatest country in the world. It's that simple. If you decide to run and Trump ran and said, swamp, this, that if a Trump ran in Russia, the way he ran in the US, Trump wouldn't be around today.

Starting point is 01:18:15 And not saying this doesn't happen in America, we can't say what happened with Reagan, JFK, Lincoln, any of that stuff, but not at the level that it happens in Russia. But this is the mob. The mob works very simply. You undermine me, I take you out. And that it happens in Russia. But this is the mob. The mob works very simply. You undermine me. I take you out.

Starting point is 01:18:27 And that's the Russian model. Now, I'm surprised. People are surprised. I'm always surprised when people are surprised by certain things. There's nothing surprising about this. This is expected. If you want to go up against him in Russia, get elected. The way he has to do it, he has to win KGB over.

Starting point is 01:18:43 If he wins KGB over and they have your back, then you become president. It is the model of Russia, not US. Today, years ago if you wanted to get elected, Joseph Kennedy had to make a phone call to the Colombo family, to the Bonanno family, to the La Cosa Noce, and says, hey, we need Chicago and we need you to do something with that mayor. And the mob went out there and got him that additional 7,000 votes to get Illinois. That's what it was in the 60s and the 70s until Giuliani came up and Joe Pastone came up and clean house in the 80s with the mob. Things changed.

Starting point is 01:19:16 Rush hasn't clean house yet. And until they do that, it's going to be like this for a long time. And let's not forget Putin spent $40,000 on Facebook ads and changed the American election. By the way, let me ask you a question. What can $40,000 of ads get you on Facebook? Honestly, you've spent millions on top of millions. What can $40,000 on Facebook ads get you? It can kill in in book sales.

Starting point is 01:19:39 Okay. It can, well, let's see, I've used $40,000 in ad spend before to probably make 250. So I mean, but it ain't changing in election. How much did Obama and Trump's campaign spend on Facebook ads? So on social media ads? Social media, okay.

Starting point is 01:19:59 Just to kind of put things in perspective. I believe around 600 million. That's the number I remember as well. With Trump with 600 million. Obama I remember was like 1.1 billion, slightly higher. With believe around 600 million. That's the number I remember as well. With Trump with 600 million. Obama, I remember, was like 1.1 billion slightly higher. With Trump with 600 million. Look, look, look, look. If you want to know how seriously Obama took social media, and this is, this is when I

Starting point is 01:20:16 knew like, oh my god, this is going to be a problem. He skipped a five star or four star general's funeral to meet at the White House with social media influencers. And he took a lot of flack in Republican press for it. But that's the moment I'm like, this guy gets it. And Republicans didn't get it for a long time. They're understanding it now. And I mean, the GOP is winning the meme war at least.

Starting point is 01:20:43 But yeah, bro, I mean, it, it changes stuff. $40,000 though in Facebook ads by some little Russian group. Does not, it doesn't qualify as interference in an election. But, but, by the way, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. So Patrick J. Lynch, the union president, set an statement released by the Trump campaign, which echoed, retort, reted rhetoric often espoused by Trump. Most politicians have banned us, but now one voice speaking up in our defense defense. So New York police association union commissioner

Starting point is 01:21:14 Pat Lynch endorses Trump. He says this has never happened before, right? He gets up and he says that. How big of a deal is it and is New York really on the line for Trump to win it? Really New York really on the line for Trump to win it? Really New York on the line? Well, you, okay, go ahead. I haven't looked at a poll, okay, but I think that this is the underlying sentiment. Like if you've got any sort of union, any sort of union, especially in New York City that's getting behind Trump.

Starting point is 01:21:45 I think that's a huge indicator that stuff's starting to swing because I think they're looking at nipple pierced Cuomo and they're looking at blah, blah to Blasio and they're saying, my God, what horrible leadership. I mean, horrible leadership during this entire pandemic. I think Trump's starting to look a lot more sexy to New Yorkers. So, so you're saying that New York turn in purple is like Texas turn in purple, right? No, Texas turning purple, if it is even purple, I wouldn't say it's purple, but Texas is because guess what? All the idiots from California are fleeing California here, but these

Starting point is 01:22:25 morons, we got five idiots in this room by the way, just so you know that. Yeah, but shut out to the idiot crew. But including yourself, Josh, you're from California. I was born and raised in California smart enough to get out. You're good. What? Even your ideas are sometimes wrong. You're good. Smart enough. Smart enough to get out. Then I was smart enough to get out. You're a good man. What your ideas are sometimes wrong. You're a good man. Smart enough to get out. Then I was smart enough to get out of Arizona. All right. But the one thing that I was really smart enough to do is not vote the principles that make California the piscous place in the United States. Yeah. Okay. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,

Starting point is 01:23:02 let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me let me let the most obvious statement. Let me say this. What is the closest thing to a mob in America? The I. R. I. got five minutes. We got five minutes for the board meeting. Okay, so we got to shut it up after this. What is the closest thing to the mob in America? I got a board meeting in six minutes. What is the closest thing to a mob in America? The government the government. What else? So go through the levels the government is the biggest mob in America when by the way, when he said the government mean FBI CIA the biggest mob in America. By the way, when he said the government, he mean FBI CIA, the organizations, you're talking about IRS, all of that together. That's number one. Fair.

Starting point is 01:23:29 What is the second largest mob in America? Mob, mafia, esc, mob. The IRS. You're probably going to say the police force. I'm not going to say the police force. I'm going to say unions. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you realize the union? I mean, have we forgotten like when you watch the movie fist, the story of Haifa? Have we now watched Nicholson Haifa? What happens when the hit, what was the most recent movie

Starting point is 01:23:55 that came out with the Puccino, all those guys that was a flop, but they spent 140 Irishmen, right? Oh, the Irishmen. So seven hour. Trump winning New York Union. Let me, Let me say this to you, bro. It's like it's so weird to win over New York Union. But Pat, what in order to have to have a union, you're unionizing who?

Starting point is 01:24:19 Workers. In order to unionize workers, what do you need? Entrepreneurs. Work. In order to have work, you need business. In order to haveize workers, what do you need? Entrepreneurs? Work. Yeah. In order to have work, you need business. You in order to have business, you need entrepreneurs. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:24:30 And they're looking and they're saying, oh crap. In order to have work, we need Trump in there. And then we can complain about the little stuff and we can unionize them. You do obviously bring up a great point about the unions, but are we actually saying that you're saying that this is going gonna flip the state of New York in favor of Trump or what I'm saying? No, no, I didn't go that far. It's an indicator.

Starting point is 01:24:48 I'll, all I'm saying. By the way, I think Texas can flip more than New York can flip. Just so you know, that's kind of where I was going. And the only reason is the follow-on reason, because there was, there were some speculations out there that in Chicago, with all the crime that was taking place, they were given one way, one way, grayhound rights to homeless people to any

Starting point is 01:25:08 City in Texas. Let me say this one more time. Illinois. That's a dirty part of politics You give a $40 grayhound ticket to 10,000 homeless people you spend $400,000 what the hell is $400,000? Nothing any you tell them hey homeless people Chicago's cold It's terrible go to Texas whether is better. It's warmer. They sent, hey homeless people. Chicago's cold, it's terrible. Go to Texas, weather is better, it's warmer. They send all their homeless people to Texas. Strategically, for decades, they've been trying to turn Texas into purple for a long time.

Starting point is 01:25:34 They're saying nothing new and it's working. They're doing their job. Watch Austin. If you've never been to Austin, just go to Austin, spend a couple days in Austin. If I'm a bust line, I'm going to every major city mayor, and I'm saying, hey, man, this is what they're doing to you. Why don't you hire us to do it back to them?

Starting point is 01:25:50 And I'm just going to go pit right. State person. Yeah, but the point I'm trying to make to you is even a statement like that by Lynch to make about Trump, other unions are watching. And they're going to call a New York person is always gonna have a lot of influence. Typically, a New York mayor, a New York chairman, a New York union leader, a New York anything

Starting point is 01:26:15 is gonna have more influence than any other mayor of any other city. So you gotta realize, everybody follows the head, big dog and it's Lynch. So there's gonna be more people flipping because like, dude, guy's not scared we shouldn't be scared so having said that It's probably one of my favorite podcasts.
