Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to taste sweetly. I know this life's meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever signs. Right here. You are a one of one?

My son's drive there. I think I've ever said this before. Okay, so let me start off by saying we are late today. because of me because my four-year-old was performing for Christmas event, the biggest event of the year at our school this year, and she was up there. And you know, as a father, when you stand up and there's a thousand people in the crowd and you look like a little geek and you're like, hey, please, do you see me? And then she just goes like this. And she goes like this. And that's all you wanted. All the money in the world, baby. That's all I wanted to see this morning.

But we're here together in the podcast. We have a guy that apparently he is officially, he went from the biggest Trump-hating guy that he would sit here, you know, fight. You're never going to get me to average. But-da-pada-ba-pa-ba-pah! And always having temper tantrums, okay? To all of a sudden he's at the White House with the president, with running around

with all these, you know, people and Yamaka kissing the wall-tap of stuff going on. You know, Mark Levin putting his hands around the president saying he's the biggest Jewish president we've had and Adams right there in the room. So forgive him. With Marlon Maples, by the way, shout out to that gorgeous lady. With Marla Maple.

Yeah. So anyways. So that's what's going on today. We got a lot of stories. Turning Point USA yesterday. Apparently these two guys who, you know, there's real serious talks of, you know, the UFC matchup that they're doing at the White House. There is a talk of maybe Tucker Carlson against Ben Shapiro. And people are actually buying into it. That could happen. There's a possibility. Because Ben gives a talk. Okay. You never want to be the first to speak if you're going to call somebody on. Ben gives a talk 20 minutes. written every single word. You could tell he read what he wrote in his note. Tucker comes up and gives a talk, I think 30 minutes, and then he does a 50-minute Q&A. And there's some stuff going on there. There's some stuff going on there. We'll talk about that.

I watch both of the speeches and have some thoughts on it. Erica Kirk got up on stage, and I think, Rob, if you're saying she told the joke about Egypt and whatever, which is great that she's having fun right now. She's able to have some levity good for her. but we got a few stories here Miriam Adelson who's kind of rich

pledges $250 million for a third Trump term at White House Hanukkah Party and Mark Levin puts his arms around the president and shakes him

I don't know if I've seen the president being shaking like that That was a manhand pat He got his shoulder It was like Yeah I saw Mark doing that And a few other stories with Nick Reiner

making first court appearance to face murder charges and killing of parents some very, very weird videos are resurfacing for many, many years ago. Some of them are extremely weird. That's resurfacing. But I think he's got some, you know, obviously some challenges. He's dealt with in the past.

Hedge from billionaire, Ray Dalio wife, donates $300,000, donate to 300,000 Trump accounts. 300,000 Trump accounts, good for them. Trump's approval rating on the economy plummetes to new low poll.

It's seven different color jerseys you've got to buy. I'm like, this is game. I'm like, okay, babe, we'll do it. I'm looking at the families.

I'm like, how many people can do seven jerseys times this, times that? Anyways, it is getting kind of a little bit out of control. Back in the days, we would play with, you can't use this words nowadays, but it was called, how do you pronounce it, wife? A white t-shirt with a little. suspenders.

Netflix, ready for this one, folks? Barstool is taking their podcast, apparently. pardon my take, they're removing it from YouTube and taking it solely to Netflix. So, Rob, we should run a poll. Would you like to see us take our podcast 100% away from Spotify, YouTube, everything, and only put it on Netflix, okay? Just ask that question and let's see what the audience says, okay?

We're not doing it, guys. This is, I'm just telling you, like just, would you, would you like us to do something like that? think it's a good move. Rob, maybe run that poll.

Bondi Beach Gunman potentially planned massacre months ahead with final insult to victim families. Pierce Morgan, Candice own spar over major claim about Charlie Kirk assassination. And then we got a couple of other stories that's going on over here.

U.S. inflation falls to 2.7% of slower housing and food increases. Offset a surge in electricity. Maga infighting erupts at Turning Point USA Conference. We'll definitely talk about that. And then we got a couple other things. Tucker Carlson humiliated as a big Trump prediction flaps.

Or is this a different Bobby Jones? He's back with a podcast. I heart media to Netflix to go to Netflix. Okay, guys, that's some good stuff. Vinny's got a special announcement that I want Vinny to share with you guys. Go ahead, Vinny. So guys, do you guys know the Faith Over Fear line? We had the Faith Over Fear shirt.

We just came out. It's just come out. It's live right now. Pat Ward is just a faith over for your hat. I'm trying to figure out, we have the symbol here. We have the cross here. Hebrews 111 on the back. Rob, can you click on the hat and show the pictures?

Yeah, let everybody see this. Guys, it's embroidered. By the way, I only wear Yankee hats. Oh, yeah, so I only wear Yankee hats. But guys, you can see the future looks right on the bottom. This is stitched. Hebrews 1111, 11, 11, that, and then the cross on the side. Like I said, I only wear Yankee hats.

It's 3D embroidery. You know, no, it's ridiculous. And I just want, like, this is, like, every time something like this happens, like the hats finally come in we're at a pivotal place where right now with everything that's happening with Christians in Nigeria as you're seeing what's happening in Europe

you're seeing what's happening in Australia the enemy wants us to be afraid I love you guys saw this Australia, France Germany they just canceled all their Christmas celebrations all their freaking New Year's stuff because they're afraid I'm telling you guys right now I've said this before in the Bible

365 times it says do not fear just have faith And when it comes to having faith in Christ, there's one story that I want to say, and you know this, in Matthew chapter 20, I think, verse 9, verse 20 to 22, there's a Jesus is walking through Galilee and everybody, he's healing people. People are touching him and grabbing him, and he's just trying to get through the crowd. And there was a woman that had an issue of bleeding for 12 years. They believe it was like a menstrual situation. She says to herself, and this is in scripture, all I have to do is touch the hem of his robe, and I'll be healed.

Okay. So she crawls through this crowd and she just reaches and touches a string that's hanging off Jesus's robe. And he stops in the crowd and he goes, who touched me? All right? And Peter and everybody's like, Jesus, we're everybody's touching. He goes, no, no, no. Who touched me? He said he felt the power leave his body and he looks and the woman is on the floor instantly healed and she's crying, Pat. And she stands up and she goes, Jesus, you healed me. And he looks at her and goes, I didn't heal you. It was your faith that healed you. Think about that. Think about that. It's powerful. Just touching his clothes and she was healed. And that's belief. And I want to say one last thing.

When Jesus was in Nazareth, he was powerless. He couldn't do any miracles. And you know why? He said because it was their disbelief. Because they didn't believe. So your faith is what creates the miracles in your life. And I think this hat is that message. And this is letting everybody know.

I'm not afraid. We're not afraid. I'm a Christian. I wear it proud. And I want people to know that. And yeah, that's it. And it's live. right now. I love it. And you know, you can go to vteamurch.com, place the order, get the hat,

get the shirt, get the shoe. All of those will put over there for you. Yesterday I had these pastors that flew in from Australia. And he said the most powerful line. Two pastors, the guys from Egypt, his name is Martin, Cedro, and his wife, Millicent. And he says, when I was a kid, and my dad and I were talking about becoming a pastor one day. He says, my father told us one thing. If you want to be a pastor, you can't fear. If you fear, don't be a pastor. one doesn't go without the other you have to be very strong about your faith that you have so for those of you

that are comfortable this Christmas season, New Year's season going into 2026 with faith put that on, walk around you'd be amazed how many people stop by and say hey man I'm with you, hey man I'm with you I love the stories of just winks with people

that are fans of the show or they're looking at each other like man you're also future looks pride you're also faith over fear you're also value attainment me too I'm one as well So go place the order or two or three and gift it to some of the people in your community.

And by the way, we have to, remember how we said that people that spend $2,000, one of you guys are going to get selected to be on the podcast? We're going to announce the win by the show. Oh, really? I called him. I called him. He's like, you're kidding me.

Stop. What are you talking about? Are you serious? No way. Just a regular guy we've never met. By the way, intentionally I wanted to be somebody because some of the guys that we know also about stuff, it was somebody that we don't know

that is going to be on. And you called him. We have a picture. Out of the blue. Yeah, out of the blue, I called him. It was shell shock. Amazing. And I don't know if I have the video somewhere around you.

We'll try to find that and show it to you. All right, let's get into it. Rob, what is the top story that they're asking for us to talk about? Dan Bongino's retirement or leaving the FBI. Let's talk about that. So Dan Bongino, okay, who was the deputy director of the FBI, steps down with roomed replacement waiting in the wings. Dan Bongino, a man who is loved by his audience. This is him saying

that yesterday will be leaving my position with the FBI in January. I want to thank President Trump, A.G. Bondi, Patel, for the opportunity to serve with purpose. Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans for the privilege to serve you. God bless America and all of you, all of those who defend her is Dan Bonjino. Tom, what do you think about this, him stepping down here? Did you expect it? Are you surprised? Was it him? Or Patel, was it one of the two? What are you thinking?

thoughts? Well, if you asked me a year ago, I would say right now I'm very surprised, but I sort of expected it as you saw the year unfold. Dan Bongino is a man of deep, narrow principles. And what I mean by that is he has his principles, and they're not for sale. And he's very direct about that. And when you come to the FBI, which is like this sausage-making machine, with all of these interests and all of these people, and we've heard about Comey, we've heard about how the FBI works, you could see the frustration in Dan Bongino when you would have certain interviews. You could absolutely see it coming out because it's

hard to be a direct control. You could be a DA in the city of Los Angeles and have direct control over your team. The FBI is so far reaching, so many things going on. I think Bongino discovered what a broad and maybe a little corrupt here and here

organization it was, and he really has a deep set principles, very neurofocus. And I think that just kind of ground on him, Pat. I think that's what happened. You saw over the course of the year, maybe some of the light come out of his eyes, and you could see like a

heaviness in him, and I think that finally got to him, and so a year ago I would have been surprised, but I kind of saw it coming over these months, and that I called it this way. Maybe it wasn't very nice to me, but when I said that when he and Cash Patel were talking about some things regarding Epstein,

you know, I called it, wow, that almost looks like a hostage video. Right. They are treating me very nice and I eat every day and I was like that's kind of weird so that's how I feel yeah I think everybody remembers that clip of what happened that's the one right there Rob if you want to make it bigger and you know go straight to it I'm glad you're doing that so this is uh all the way at the end go ahead Rob the big deal he killed himself you again you want me to I've I've seen the whole he killed himself listen that that's the part with him and then president had to had something

say about it with Dan Bongino 11 second clip. Go forward, Rob. Why, he's planning for me as the FBI. Dan, Dan did a great job. I think he wants to go back to his show. Yeah. Vinny. And again, because we don't know everything and I don't know the inside,

just that we had the conversation yesterday, I don't know my, if I had to assume, I mean, him with the platform that he had and all the stuff that he was talking about with cash, It felt like, remember the people like me that were like, yes, we're finally going to get something, I think, when he came in and he saw what was going on. And he was like, oh, my goodness. Like, and they told him basically, hey, listen, this is where this stops right here. Your passion, your push, all the stuff that you talked about on the show, we're not.

You're going to be going after these bad guys, but these guys, you can't do that. And he looked, and that's proof. That, that video for anybody that knows body language or the way speech, that didn't look like it was him speaking, especially not the guy. from the podcast, that was not the Dan Bongino that we do. And I just feel like it took a while. Remember, it was a couple months ago when I said, it was, I want to say five, six months ago when I said, if somebody comes in and as a Christian, a proud Christian and you're not supposed to be afraid, obviously faith over fear, if you see something like that and

people are abusing and you're told not to talk about it because X, Y, and Z are powerful. And then guess what? You should have walked away earlier. I'm happy that it's happening if that's what it is, but he should have walked away. I'm very curious to what the podcast is going to be like now because, A, when you go on the FBI, Tom, you can't talk about your non-disclosure. You can't say anything. So is it going to be like, well, I can't say nothing about blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And is it going to be one of those Allure Candace type podcast where it's like, I can't say.

But maybe this and maybe that I'm, I hope the best for him. But it's not a good look. More than you can't say anything. There was a leak that came out that he and Pam Bondi got into it. I heard there was an argument. That bit. He's like, wait, why are we holding these files? Why are we doing this?

And she apparently drew a line and said, Dan, this is the way we're doing it. Yep. Adam. Well, number one, Dan Bonjino is a patriot and all the people out there that think he's been compromised and, oh, my God, we can't trust him now. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

This guy has been for decades an American patriot and just because he comes into the FBI, he's deputy director behind Cash Patel, all of a sudden, everything that he's ever done is compromised. To me, that's BS. Well, who said that? Who said everything? A lot of people said that, including...

No, I didn't... Wait, wait, wait, why. Including... No, no. Don't misspeak for me. Don't say I said everything. Listen, tough guy. Do I start ranting and raving when you're ranting and raving?

Am I lying? Am I lying about you while you're talking? You're not even talking about you. Why are you making this about yourself? You're saying everything. Faith over fear, buddy. I have zero fear about you. Okay, go ahead.

Go ahead. Shut it. I'll let you finish. Thank you. Three days of Hanukkah. Get the fighting over now. As I was saying, Dan Bongino, American Patriot. number two this is what happens when an outsider comes in

peeks behind the curtain and goes oh gotcha let me kind of fall in line on this one because what you don't know it's like kind of like the famous quomo phrase you know you campaign in poetry and then you govern in prose once you see what's really going down behind the scenes you kind of have to act accordingly what I'm most interested in is he's going to go back to his show I think he's a major partner in rumble so what are the odds that he's going to have a show again

oh yes Most likely. Yeah. So do you think he's a truth teller? I do. Is he going to tell the whole truth? Nothing about the truth is the home he got? Most likely will remain to be seen.

To put him in the category of Candace of just asking questions and making up conspiracies. This is a real person with real credibility, with real knowledge. I'm excited to see what he has to say. He's not going to do bullshit speculating. He's going to give you the real facts. That's my opinion. But saying everything that he's ever done, I don't think, who questioned everything that he's ever said? we're saying the stuff that the main thing that he was on his show constantly talking about

was the Epstein files and then once he gets in you know the main thing he did Adam was redact the Epstein files and why do you think he did that all the names of all the people why do you think because he was told to it's not a conspiracy at him let's see what let's see what he says on his show he can't say anything on the show that's the problem that's the problem please why are you acting so definitively like you have the answers go to vini have the answers dot com and find out the bullshit Anybody that's watching, the people in this room, didn't I say at the beginning, I don't know.

Perfect, you should just stop there. No, no, Adam, this is a show where you have opinions. Yeah, I know. I'm aware. My opinion is the guy, the Christian guy that's talking about the Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, came in and it was this. Like somebody had a gun and goes, he killed himself. Give me a break, Adam.

Okay, so you find Dan Bongino to lack credibility. And that's, in that story and that's, yes, I do. Well, there you go. And that's fine. So he'll answer that on his podcast. and you're not going to get anything at them because guess what? The most powerful people in the world

are those people and that's my opinion. Well, I happen to think he has a little more credibility than you're giving him. He has credit. He was a secret service member. Okay, Adam. There is a lot of, one time we had James O'Keefe here and he said something.

Stutt, by the way. He said, if you, he says, sometimes he says, I try to not get too close and become too friendly with all these guys. And I said, tell me why. He says, because once you do, you can't call them out. like when he called Pam Bondi and he's like hey you said this we have the recording

I have to release it and then she got ahead of it and she went and said we have tens of thousands of hours of all this other stuff right so you know I think if you're in media if you choose to go in it's almost impossible or hard to get back into politics however a lot have done it a lot of people have done it this is not I don't know how many people have gotten this high of a job and then go back into media

where was this public of a thing that you were against with vocal. So that's the part. Let's see how he's going to handle it. Yesterday we had a guy that came over there telling me about, you know, they want to be able to give away Bibles to people that are being deported. I said, how are you going to frame that?

The guy's like, what do you mean? It's a Christian organization. We gave, you know, some money to this year. I'm not going to mention them because it was a private conversation. It says, the people that are and deported, we want to give them a Bible on the way out. And we're working with the government right not to give him a Bible. That's okay. Let's roleplay the script. I came and arrested me. I got handcuffs behind my back. Give me the Bible. How are you going to hand it to me? Do you understand what just happened right there? I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. You're going to look, man,

you know, I think it's going to be fine. On your way out here, let me put this under your arms. We tuck the Bible. God loves you. But he loves you in Mexico. Yeah. Okay. But by the way, there's a part of it that's being funny, but there's a part of it that's real, right? Banjin has to come back, and in his mind, all he's thinking about is for months, I bet, how am I going to frame the one question everybody's thinking of it? He's thinking all about framing right now,

how he's going to present it. Sir, let me ask you a question. And I don't trust anybody 100%, just like Trump said about, I don't remember who he said. He's like, do you trust him 100%? I don't trust anybody 100%. level of trust and credibility you think Bongino has? Are you at 80%

you had 90 or you're at 50-50 overall with Bonjino? No, I think Bonjino's a very fair player. I think he's a straight-up player. I think he's all around very capable. I think this is a very, very technical, complicated topic that the average person cannot deal with, especially somebody

that is a very, very strong Christian. This is a very difficult thing to do to have this type of a access to this type of information. It isn't for everybody. I think Cash can do it because I think Cash has got a cold side to him where it's a, what do you call it? You have to be a part of vicious ice cold, like cutthroat. I think Cash got some side of that. I don't think that's Bond. What's the term you used to describe Trump? I don't know. No, you basically were saying like you have to be ice cold. Yeah, you have to be. Yeah. Maybe the I think Cash has got the ice cold side.

I don't think Bongino does. This is not a this. Some people can actually take this as a compliment. I don't know if you understand what I'm saying to you. It's a form of a compliment. And to Bongino or to Cash? It's actually a form of a compliment to both. You either have it or you don't have it.

It's not an easy thing to fake. Bonino's an emotional guy. He's cried on camera multiple times. But he's a man's man. How much of this, and I have to go back to faith, Cash isn't a Christian. He doesn't answer to Jesus. Trump is not a Christian.

doesn't answer to Jesus, do you think a person in these positions, Pat, it's almost impossible to be a Christian and be able to do this type of stuff. And don't take the job. Why do you say, that's what I'm saying. Don't take the job. If somebody comes knocking on your door and they say, Vinnie, you know, I got a job for you to be the deputy director of the FBI. I wouldn't be able to do it. If it's that type of stuff, there is no way you could do the job. No way. You're right. Yeah. That job is not for you. I agree. It's not. Yeah. So that's the part to realize and say, like, for instance, there's being a founder of a business. There's being a CEO of an existing established company. There's executive team. There's director, VP, support compliance. A lot of people want that founder next to their

names. It's not for everybody. A lot of people want to be content creators. And then they get one bad comment, oh my God, they don't like me. I'm not talented. They stop creating content. It's not for everybody. So anyways, I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. I just have one question. No, no, no. I want to, I want to continue. It's called Trump not a Christian. Yeah. He's not. He said it. Trump is Christian. I'm going to go to this next story. You don't think Trump is Christian? Sorry. We can talk about this as we go to the next story. So yesterday

or two days ago, there was an event at the White House. What was the events? It was the White House Hanukkah Party. White House Hanukkah Party. Okay. So this White House Hanukkah Party, Adam was at you know, who were some of the people that were there? Lutnik, Mark Levin,

the president. Yeah, Howard Lutnik was there, Mark Levin. Maybe put some of the pictures, Rob. So this is who? This is Mark Levin. That was Mark Levin. And then that was actually one of Charlie Kirk's lawyers. My buddy Rob, great guy. Who else you got? Go to the next picture. Marla Maples was there. Our friend Elizabeth Pipko was there. A lot of major influences there. Emily Austin. There was actually so many people. They had a three o'clock and a seven o'clock. So I was at the seven o'clock one. So it was at night. Marlon Maples, gorgeous. My friend O'Vira right there, Jim. It was an amazing time. And Trump was

very gracious and amazing people. At this event, Merriam Edelson, okay, who has a few dollars, pledged to give 250, is this the video, Rob, of her saying it? She wants to give 250 million dollars, okay, for one reason. If one thing is possible, you ready? Back up a little bit, Rob, okay? Go ahead, Rob. Here we go. Israel. Well, Mr. President, when you were in the Israeli parliament and you gave a speech and you saw me from far away, and at that time I came with a scooter to the parliament just to hear you. I wanted to hear you alive.

And then you say, Miriam Adelson, and I stood for a second, but it was so painful, so I said. Then you screamed, Miriam, stand up. And I wish you would have known, but I stood up and heard all. your compliment and thank you very much. I saw you back there standing. Yeah. She stood up bravely. And now I met Alan Dersovich and he said the legal thing about four more years and

I said, Alan, I agree with you. So we can do it. Oh my God. Think about it. Alan is here or he had a flight? Four more years. Alan is here? Four more years.

Four years. You can pause it right there. So she committed pledged to $250 million if we can do four more years. And in Mark Levin, there's a scene with Mark Levin that he said the following. Rob, if you want to pull up that clip, this is Vinny's favorite. This is a scene of Mark Levin going around the president. Go ahead, Rob. And these people do like Israel.

Hold on. Hold on. And he loves Israel, too. Oh, look at his manhandling him. Six years ago, I was up here. And I said, this is our first Jewish president. Now he's the first Jewish president to serve two. Okay, so Mark Levin.

Levin. Yeah, Levin. Levin. So, you know, that event's taking place. A bunch of things are happening. And Adam, tell us the context of this event. So, number one with Mary Madelson. Let's understand that the media narrative doesn't understand one key word.

sarcasm. Miriam Adelson is actually the only person who had a seat at the event. Paul Gossar, Representative Paul Gosser, if you ever see this, thank you. Actually, we are having a conversation. He goes, you want to come with me into the green room. We go into the green room. I meet Howard Lutnik.

Great guy. Steve Whitkoff's there. Awesome people there. I'm talking with sort of like the who's who. Marlon Maple is all there. Everyone's standing. It's a packed room. 500 people. I'm up in the first 50 people in the row. and Miriam Adelson is sitting right there

and he's giving shoutouts to everybody as if you're like, what up, what up, what up? And certain people he called up at a stage. Mirren Edelson, he calls up, she's sitting down, she comes up, it's sarcasm. If you play the clip that I actually sent, he basically said,

she gave me $250 million, but we all know, $250 ain't what it used to be. It's sarcasm. And even called out the fake news in the back, he goes, they're going to write about this, they're going to spin it, They're going to talk trash.

It's sort of a joke. Now, do I think Trump is going to run in 2028? I don't. Are there people that would love to see it? I'm sure. He brought her on stage. If you give $250 million, you're going to get a little stage time.

That's kind of how it works. Of course. So she was being sarcastic. He was being sarcastic. But the idiots in the back of the room, I guess, don't understand sarcasm and jokes. I don't think he's running again. But essentially what she was saying is,

If you do, I'll cut the check. That's my opinion. You want to show that clip? Because you didn't play the initial part of it. When he goes, it's not what it used to be. It was talking about $250 million. Do you have that? That's my goofy laugh.

So, anyway, what he did say was, this is a woman who loved her husband deeply. They are from Israel, American Israelis. And here's what I'll say about Trump. with Israel. Trump is a Christian. Hold on. Stop. Rob, can you play that clip really fast? Because, Adam, when you say stuff like that with no proof,

I have to prove it. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. And again, Christians get out and vote just this time. Are you ready for this, Adam? Stay tuned. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.

I love you, Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you. Get out. Wait, play that part again. Rewind. Rewind. Rewan. You, Christians. I'm not Christian. I'm not Christian. Stop it. Adam, he's not Christian.

So what religion is Trump? He doesn't have a religion. He doesn't have a religion. He's Presbyterian. Adam. Google it. Hold on a second. Okay. He just said, to prove you wrong, I'm not Christian, and you're still going to defend

that he's a Christian. Trump was raised Presbyterian, but now identifies as non-denominational Christian. He just said I'm not. So should I trust what Trump has? You're on Wikipedia or Chad GBT? Okay. It came out of his mouth. Go ahead, Adam.

Adam, can you just say you're wrong? So what do you think he is? Tough guy? I don't know. I'm very tough. What do you think he is? Adam. He was raised in a Presbyterian church.

Am I taking crazy pills? He doesn't. He says I'm not Christian. He says I'm not Christian as you would like him to be. What do you think he is? You're defending something that just came out of someone's mouth. Continue with your story. I'll sit back.

Well, I'll sit back. What was the question? Get off your head thumbs off. Get off your high horse. Okay, my high horse. People aren't as Christian as you would like him to be. Now, you see how the argument, see how the argument just changed? I just proved you wrong, and now you're making it about me.

Continue with your story. How did you prove me wrong? He's not Christian. Because he's Presbyterian. You know Adam, do we chat GBTed it? You think he prays to Jesus Christ and he's giving himself to God? I don't know. I just go with the story.

I don't know. I just proved you wrong. But I don't know. No, you don't. You're doing the Candace thing. You're just throwing bullshit out there. Now it's Candice. I just showed you.

Vinny, I get it. You got a cool shirt. Relax. I want everybody to understand what's happening right now. Trump is a Christian who is very, very friendly with Jews. And I'll tell you why, if you shut up for a second. You're wrong. He told a story about his dad.

Okay. You ever hear the story? Or just want to pretend that you do? He told the story about his dad, who was his role model. He said he would go around with him all around town trying to look into property. Manhattan was way more expensive than Brooklyn and Queens, and we'd go around meeting all these people. and he said some of his dad's closest friends

were Jewish people and because Trump such admired his dad they were very close with Jewish people he said there I'm not Jewish but yeah I'd love you guys basically so I don't know if you're inferring that he's a different religion that he has been his entire life

the problem that you're basically identifying is he is Christian Presbyterian however you want to frame it that is friends with the Jews and that is exactly what he said word for word. That's it. The words that I heard, Adam, was, I'm not a Christian. Tom, do you have any thoughts on this?

I just bought Vinny HastheAnswer.com, so I'm... Nobody's subscribing. I'm getting... All right. Look, do you think Trump is Christian? Yes, I do. When he says I'm not a Christian, I don't understand the context. And he says he's not going to heaven, but go ahead.

Well, you know what? This is a guy that talks about faith, talks about things. you know and what he says for himself he says for himself but he's surrounded with an awful lot of people that are of faith that pray over him and talk with him so i have a hard time believing that in his heart of hearts there's zero there i i don't believe that um you know do is he out there on stage proclaiming and giving you know homilies or you know devotionals no but i have a hard time believing that there's nothing there i hear what he says i understand what you're saying, I hear it Adam saying, and how can you go through what he's gone through, nearly

getting shot and everything, and not have some level of faith or understanding about that higher power? Fully agree with Tom. I think that moment made him go, oh, my goodness, yeah, I'm not denying none of that. I'm not saying, which Adam, you're inferring that I'm thinking he's not as Christian as me. That's BS. What I'm saying is when a guy says he's not Christian, says he's not going to heaven, okay, I don't care about the Jewish angle.

I'm saying words that come out of his mouth. If Pat right now says, you know, I'm a murderer, okay? I killed people. And then you say, no, he's never, no, he's not. And I show you a clip of Pat going, I am a murderer. I've killed people. Who's right and who's wrong? He said it.

I'm not Christian. I'm not going to heaven. I'm sure we can find multiple clips of him being a man of faith. So you're taking one clip. I don't think. And then you're just using this as your narrative. It's not one clip. It's a word.

I respect the fact of you frame it and just say, in my opinion. DeSatea's fact is absolute BS. Okay. All right. Do you think he's a Christian, Pat? I think, you know, at the Turning Point USA event, when he said, his Lord and Savior. Meaning what, Pat? His Lord.

Not mine, but his Lord. Charlie's, Lord and Savior. Come on, man. And I don't know if, you know, he grew up going to the Norman Vincent Peel Church, the power of positive thinking church, which was a very well-known one in New York, that he would go to and, listen to his message because Norman Vincent Peel was more like a

motivational speaker. He was like the old school 50 years ago's what do he call it? Who's a guy from Houston? Joel Austin. He was like the OG Joel Austin. He was such a great speaker from stage, great orator, and he used to go

there to New York to listen to this. He passed away in 93, which is 32 years ago. So this is the era he comes from and this guy was phenomenal. If you've never read the book, the Power of Positive. I don't know whether he is or not. I can only tell you what I've heard him say. And to me, I don't know. I think he is an extreme professional politician. In that scene,

when I'm looking at that, I would be very uncomfortable if somebody put their arms around me like that. Jennifer would be like, somebody go whisper to that man, take your arms over the guy's shoulders. I don't like that. But the president was gracious, you know, gracious, you know, gracious where he allowed that thing to happen and even though Mark crossed the line a little bit, you don't do that publicly. You can do that privately with no camera being on. If there's that kind of a relationship, you don't ever do that publicly with the camera being on because the enemy's watching. I'm just not a fan of that behavior. That makes me uncomfortable, but maybe that's just me and nobody else was even thinking about that. I don't like you putting your arms around

the president and shaking him that way. That's not your position to do something like that. Off camera, do it on camera. I don't like that. But all the other stuff, listen, You got to give this guy credit. He went to Detroit and got Muslims to endorse him. He went and got Jews. He went and got, he got the freaking teamster president. In 121 years, they've never, ever gone to the RNC. Okay, Sean O'Brien.

And he had the audacity to allow the guy to speech, and he got up in trash capitalism. This is a very different kind of a guy. He's not everybody's guy. But maybe at a time like this, you need a guy like him to lead because, you know, to do and deal with all the shit that's going on, you need a little bit of cut-throat mentality, and he's got it. Trust me, like when you think about certain people,

Mike Huckabee, is he a good guy? He's probably a good guy. Raised a good daughter, who became a governor. Yes, he's probably a good guy. Do I want him as a president? No, why not? You're not cut-throat enough for me. Because, you know, these rooms,

you have to be able to have one conversation, you're being diplomatic, conversation, we've got to make a tough call. So I don't know. I think the profile of who he is as a leader, I'm very happy with him. I saw a lot of messages this week with the president has lost that I'm so disappointed in him. I'm so disappointed in what he's doing. You know, he is exactly what, you know, I didn't vote for it. I voted. Okay, bro, relax. Pump the brakes. Yeah. You go, go ahead and go ahead and have Kamala, your president today. Go ahead. You know, go ahead and have Biden be your president today. No, I think he's the right guy.

for the job today, and at $250 million, I do think it was a 50-50 joke, meaning I do think 50% if she could, she would do it. Oh, she would. Yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying to you. I don't think he's running again. I know, but it's 50-50. No, he's not running again, not because you think he's not running again because he doesn't want to run again?

Or do you think he's not running again because he can't? Because of the law. Yeah, I know. I mean, I was actually literally standing next to Alan Dershowitz when he called him out, and Alan actually had just left the room. Yeah. But can I just agree with you in a second? Yeah.

There's a lot of people out there, they're trying to make their name. trying to tear down Trump, whether that's on the left or even that's on the woke right, as they call it. Here's what I'll give you my opinion. We were all fed of Ebola lies that Trump is a Russian asset. He doesn't love America, that he's selfish. He's all doing this for the real estate. Being in the White House was an incredible honor.

Being around Trump and his orbit was incredible. The man loves America. There's no one more engaging and friendly and cool and fun that's playful but also serious. He gives this amazing speech, has fun, it's a party. The next day goes out and crushes this 20-minute speech talking about how America is going to be great again, and 2026 is going to be the greatest years of our lives, and talking about the Olympics and talking about the World Cup

and talking about America's 250th birthday. The man is a badass. He's a hard hat, every man billionaire. That's very hard to do to be able to put on a hard hat and talk to every single guy out there, but also be a billionaire and not be detached from the average guy's, you know, affordability issues is a very unique quality. And as someone that did not like Trump 10 years ago, I'm a massive fan. And I think most people should wake up and realize the guy's the best president of our generation.

Yeah, there you go. Thank you, sir. Sounds good. Let's go to the next one here. Next story I want to get to here is, Rob, let's go to the Turning Point USA. Tony Point USA is having their annual Amfest event sold out. They shared some numbers of what happened, some record-breaking numbers that I believe Erica shared with the entire audience

of what's happened with new chapters, what's happened with people joining, what's happened with, you know, the amount of new kids that have gotten involved in the entire organization. Let me see if I can pull up this number here to give you some of the stats. The numbers are unbelievable of what she was sharing with everybody in the audience. Do you have that, Rob, or no? Anyways, it was like a million kids joined, you know, 3,000 new chapters created around the world. The amount of money that was,

you know, sent in from people around the world, just record breaking all across the board. I have it. Do you have it? Is this her giving the update? Yep. Oh, right, they're zoom in a little bit, Rob. Okay. That's actually not Baron Trump. It's just accounts called Baron Trump News. Erica just dropped her numbers. 50 TPSA chapters open every day, opening every day, 8,000 plus church partnerships, 140,000 requests to join, 1 million students involved, 3,000 Club America chapters, 1,400 college chapters. I mean, this is extremely impressive.

Now, can they keep the momentum going or not? There's a lot of people that behind closed doors are going to be doing everything in their power to make sure this momentum continues, but it's going to rise and fall on on leadership. Rob, what speeches? Is this Erica giving a speech? This is her talking about those numbers. numbers. What else do you have? Let's go with the Ben Shapiro one. So Ben Shapiro gets

up and I watch the entire speech and it was a straight up call out. It wasn't like he came up you know, it was all intentional, it was all written, it was all clear and it was targeted at mainly three people, but mainly

two people, okay? And here's Ben Shapiro. Go ahead, Rob. So, for example, if you host a Hitler apologist, Nazi-loving, anti- American Peace of Refuse, like Nick Flentes. You know, the Nick Flentes, who said that the vice president of the United States is a, quote, fat gay race trader married to Ajit. The person who said that Charlie Kirk was a, quote, retarded idiot.

The person who said, and pardon my language here, it's his quote, that he, quote, took Turning Point USA and fucked it, and that's why it's filled with Groypers. If you have that person on your show and you proceed to glaze him, you ought to own it. There is a reason that Charlie Kirk despised at Nick Fuentes, and indeed even chided to Nesh D'Souza for debating him. He knew that Nick Fuentes is an evil troll, and that building him up is an act of moral imbecility. And that is precisely what Tucker Carlson did. he built Nick Fentes up, and he ought to take responsibility for that, just as he ought to take responsibility for glazing, pornographer, and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Tate, or for mainstreaming

fake historian and pseudo-Nazi apologist, Daryl Cooper, as America's best and most honest, popular historian. Hosts are indeed responsible for the guests they choose and the questions they ask those guests. Okay, so that's Ben. Then, right, and we know who Ben is calling out. Like, it's not even funny who it's called. There's no, he's going to just blow the shirt. I don't know if we have the clips. He directly called out Candace multiple times by name, called out Tucker several times,

and obviously there was Nick Fuentes. Those were sort of the big three you were referring to, Pat? Yes, yes, yes. Candace was probably the biggest recipient of his. probably but I think the leader of the call out is Tucker is who he's calling out so then this is Tucker go for it

because Tucker was there Candace wasn't right yes go for I just got here and I feel like I missed the first part of the program I hope I didn't miss anything meaningful but I just want to say I don't think I did no I'm just kidding I watched it

I laughed I laughed that kind of bitter Sardom laugh that emerges from you and like upside down world arrives when your dog starts doing your taxes and you're like wait it's not supposed to work this way to hear calls for like deplatforming and denouncing people at a charlie kirk event i'm like what this is hilarious yeah this is hilarious actually one of the clips i was listening to myself thinking as i often do when i hear myself speak which is never because i never watch myself but at these events, they always play, like, the role of you.

And I'm like, that guy is pompous. Sorry about that. We don't see ourselves clearly. But the prediction that, you know, at some point when Republicans took power again, which I did everything I could, you know, to help, and I really felt that was important, I still think, you know, I was right. But I really thought that the impulse to de-platform people, or even to use the word platform as a verb,

which it's not, it's a noun, don't steal my nouns, de-platform and denounce, why haven't you denounced somebody else, the whole like Red Guard Cultural Revolution thing that we so hated and- Composite, right there. Okay, so Tucker gives a speech, Ben gives his speech. You've heard both of them.

Where are you at? So the basic premise of Ben's speech is that truth matters. And we all know that the World Economic Forum came out and said that the biggest, concern in the world right now is misinformation and disinformation, and he basically called out certain people for peddling myth truths, untruths, semi-truths, and then operating under the guise of, I'm just asking questions. So to me, Ben was very clear, very direct. I was never a huge Ben Shapiro guy, and I was certainly never a big Tucker guy. But between both of them,

they're legends, we get it. To me, this comes down to one word, midterms. who is helping coalesce, build a coalition around 11 months from now, we're going to have another election. And is it, are you helping bring people together to win midterms to help Donald Trump in his agenda, or are you trying to tear it down? So there's a lot of infighting within MAGA, and there's a lot of people on the left that would love to see Nick Fuentes and Candice and even Tucker be the face of the new MAGA establishment party.

And in my opinion, Tucker, I'm sorry, Charlie Kirk wants no part of it. The last thing that I'll say is this. Ben said one thing, and I said it the other day about what the Torah says about criticizing a grieving widow. Erica Kirk asked Candace to stop. Candice went on, Pierce Morgan, and she said, I'm not going to stop. As if she's the FBI and she's leading this investigation. So to me, at the very least I'll say this. Ben is the same person he's been for 20 years that we've seen him on air.

Tucker has flip-flopped and he's fake. And now, because he's an American, he goes and buys a property in Qatar. Not in Detroit, not in Dallas, not in Boston, not in American cities. He's buying a house in Qatar. And why? Because he's American. God bless you, Tucker. Vinnie.

Well, the WEF, I don't know that we were going to, the world economic forum. I don't know we're going to be going by their guidance when it comes to disinformation and misinformation, everything that they push from global warming, fake disinformation for COVID. And now we're finding out that people are having cancer and kids are having heart problems and people are dying and they lie to us.

So I don't take any heed to the world economic forum. But if we're trying to worry about the... Are you saying that misinformation and disinformation isn't a thing? No, of course. Of course. It's your job to go out there and look. That's why nobody trusts the media. That's why nobody trusts the government.

Nobody trusts anybody. It's your job to go. and look and find the information and fact check everything that you talk about, just like how I did earlier in the show. My thing is this, Adam, if we're worrying about the midterms, why would Ben Shapiro go up and from a turning point you are saying in front of everybody, the youth, everybody's, I want motivation, I want something because the real enemy is the left. It's the Gavin Newsom's. It's the AOCs. It's all those people. Instead of using that 20 minutes to unite and say, guys, with all the differences, that's the mission, that's the enemy. You're going to talk

shit about two other people and three other people and just bash everybody okay to me the crowd seemed to like it half they were cheering half and half whatever booze and claps i don't know i wasn't there it's just that's your moment that charlie fought for people to have debate charlie fought charlie's whole mission was debate

talk not deep platforming he went to college campuses and said okay give me your argument not i don't want to hear you and i want you i think it's awesome that people are talking that he talked to nick That can't, let him talk. Let him sit in front of Stephen Crowder and say his point. I learned more about him through his podcast than I ever knew about Nick Fuentes. I don't think that if you want to unite and worry about the midterms, that's not the way to do it.

Okay? And then Tucker had to take his time out of his message and go against him too. By the way, I don't trust. When it comes to Tucker buying stuff in Qatar, that's the most random weirdest thing that didn't make any sense. I'm American, but I'm going to buy land as. a Christian, he's openly devolved Christian, and a Muslim land. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Somebody might be getting paid. But I just feel with everything that's happening, they missed the freaking mark. This should have been about America and the actual enemy because the Democrats

are laughing their asses off. Period. That's my opinion. By the way, a very reasonable take you just gave. Very reasonable take. Tom, your thoughts. So my thoughts is Charlie Kirk, I agree with your debate point. Charlie Kirk will go into the best. belly of the beast go and put up that card table and put up that tent on college campuses and attempt to indict. Say, what do you think about? No, no, no, come here. No, no. I'll listen to you. Tell me what you think. Now, why do you think that? Why do you think that? Well, I think there's an economist here, and I think this is here, and he would engage in this civil debate that was getting people to think. And he was personally responsible for delivering Arizona and

more. We saw him at the inauguration, and he gave us the numbers. They registered the vote more than 300,000 new voters in Arizona. And if you take a look and just say 60% of those, just 60, not more than that. No, you know it has to be more than that. But let's just put 60% of those votes voted for Trump, 47. Guess what? He moved Arizona. Kerry Lake was in a war.

You saw what was going on with that guy, Rubbing Gallagos, whatever his name is. There was a war going on. It was neck and neck. There was all kinds of things. the governor was ignoring what was happening in terms of in these neighborhoods in Tucson where you had these immigrants that had come across that were squatting and things that were happening it was being ignored and people were flipping out and yet Arizona was razor thin and guess what Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA registered to vote 300,000 people and carried that state

and he did it one card table one person one student one debate at a time and And I think that an opportunity is missed to bring people together and talk through that. It's not that people don't have passionate points about, I don't like the fact that you're talking to Nick. I don't think this. I don't think that. It's not that maybe there's some, those are individual points that they have the freedom to have their points. And I'll die for the freedom for them to make those points. But I think there is a missed opportunity to bring this together because the midterms are critical, not because of our side, their side.

midterms are critical to move more thoughts and more hearts toward America and what it stands for with rational debate that moves people across the line. That's where I worry about the midterms, and that's why I worry about it. And I just don't like to see this. I don't think it helps. So to me, there's a couple things here that I want to go through on both of them. One, when Ben Shapiro spoke, you know, you could tell he's speaking a lot of logic, prepared, intentional, you know, to the point, punchy.

When Tucker spoke, Tucker's a more talented person than Ben Shapiro. It's not even close. Tucker is funny. Tucker is charming, charismatic, persuasive. He flirts but being manipulative as well, but persuasive. And he knows how to work the stage. He's talented. He's capable.

Ben is brilliant. But Tucker is talented and capable. Tucker went emotion. Tucker went heart. Tucker talked love. He mentioned the word love 20 times. Ben is purely logic, okay, is what he's going to. So talent-wise, Tucker's a better talent of delivering a message. Not a question about it, okay?

More educated, read all this stuff. Maybe you put Ben there ahead of him. You know, he probably knows more about the Constitution and things like that. Yeah, you can put that category in there. where was Ben right? The part that Ben was right in when he said, you know, even Charlie reached out to

Dinesh and said, why would you debate Nick Fuentes? Because in the debate between Dinesh and Nick, Nick won. I don't know if you guys saw the debate or not. Nick was a winner. He came out the winner of that debate between the two of them

and Dinesh came out as the older guy that I know what I'm talking about. You don't know who you are. You're a kid. And so Charlie's like, what are you doing? So as much as Charlie is for, debate. Charlie wasn't for everybody because

Nick was a disruptor to him. So even Charlie had lines, okay, on who we would have, Nick didn't speak at the event, okay? Nick, Nick is never spoken at this event. I don't think he'll ever be invited to him. Yeah, but what I'm trying to say to you is there's a reason why

he didn't. So to that point Ben has got a very, very good point on what he's saying with Charlie, okay, and what Candace and some of these other guys are doing, uh, uh, with the topics. And then, by the way, you know who else Ben called out? Megan Kelly.

Ben also called that Megan Kelly. There was a direct call out to Megan Kelly. He says, look, I'm a big fan of Megan Kelly. But even Megan Kelly came out and said, XYZ, and I'm not with that either. He says, what do you mean? You know, all she's doing is, I don't know, maybe she's going through stuff with mom and all this other stuff.

He's talking about Candace, yes. So I actually, I have to tell you, Ben came across as the more mature guy here but it's like you're married to Ben but you're attracted to Charlie I don't know if that makes sense or not it's like Ben is the husband but Charlie's the guy you follow and you're like dude Charlie's a freaking you know

not Charlie what do you call it Tucker is a guy's kind of like him you're attracted to Tucker but you're married to Ben okay because Ben is what Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I get that. In regards to, you know, Tucker, he got 45 minutes. Ben got 20. I think Ben probably donated his time. I think both of them probably donated at that time.

But if you look at the flyer, guess who Turning Point USA put as the first picture of speaker? It's Trump. Guess who's two? I don't know if Trump is speaking at this one or not. He may or may not be speaking at this event. He probably is, can you put the poster, the big one? The second one, Rob. the second one.

Yeah. Zoom in. They put JD. JD. Then they put, no, the second one, Rob, the one you had,

yeah. They put JD, and then it's Erica, and then it's Tucker. Wow. Then it's Bannon. Then it's Junior. Then it's Tulsi.

Then it's Megan Kelly. Then it's Jesse. Then it's, I can't see that face. Now, who's the guy before Ben? Rob, who is that guy?

Greg Gutfeld. Greg Gutfeld. Then they put Ben. And what do you think that ranking of pictures is? You think it's just accidental by last name? No, it's by who has most influence today.

J.D. is first, so Erica chose that list and that ranking. That's who makes that call. So Erica still chose Tucker Head of Ben by seven people. That's not accidental. So why is that? There's still a relationship there. There's still an affinity there. They're still behind the scenes where they have love for Tucker.

So don't get a twisted. One got 45, one got 20 for a reason. And even though Ben and them, I think they gave a million dollars to Turning Point USA and they were the first ones to do the Charlie Kirk podcast. I think they were the first one that do it. If I'm not mistaken, Rob, it was Ben. It was Michael Knowles. And I think the crew showed up and with Andrew and the crew, Andrew, how do you say his last time?

Colvert? Yeah, Andrew Colvin. COVID. Yeah, Andrew Colvin. But by the way, this is the bigger thing to be thinking about is, there is two philosophies here. The one philosophy is they're all getting ready for something.

They're all getting ready for something. It's power grabs right now. Who's going to be the face of the conservative movement? It's a power grab. It's a fight. Who's going to take it? I really don't think Tucker cares to take it. I don't think so either.

And I don't think he's the guy, to be honest with you. I don't think he's the guy. I don't think he's the guy. I do think he is in so many people's ear. And he is so, if he wants to, there was a guy I did business with. He was very good at the following line. You ready? So good at doing this.

And one day he called and he and I had a conversation about it. He would call and say, so that we say, oh, my God, you see what Patrick's doing? See what Patrick's doing? See what Patrick's doing? See how much is growing. And insurance industry was like, we were the conversation. of town and everyone's like holy shit this thing's growing you say yeah but they're doing great but oh the yeah but guys and so and so he created wedges is that the right word tom is that

wedges like yeah against others i do think tucker's playing that game behind closed shades here i do think tucker's like yeah be careful with that guy be careful with this guy and defend i think he's doing that beyond closer he gives me the vibes that he's fully capable of doing that I think Ben is doing that publicly. I think Tucker's doing that privately. I think Ben is doing that publicly. Tucker's doing that privately. And he's working overtime on that side.

So, you know, where it's kind of like, I don't want to have the influence over the thing, but man, I want to disrupt and just kind of shake things up, just to shake things up to say, I still have that influence. I think that's kind of where Tucker's at right now. And for me, as we're going through this next phase, It's going to be interesting because one of two things is going to happen.

Megan, I don't know if that's going to happen, but Megan Kelly is, there's got to be a synergist in this community right now. I don't know who that synergist is. It's not Ben. It's not Tucker. Neither one of them are synergists. It was Charlie. It was Charlie. No, no.

I'm saying now. Like who is that person now to play that car? I don't know. I don't know. We're going to see what's going to be happening. The reality is this. While this is going on, guess what chart came out, okay, while this is going on. While this is going on, folks, you ready?

According to a new poll from Newsweek, not Newsweek poll. Newsweek writes this article, I'll tell you who the poll is from. AOC officially leads J.D. Vance for the first time in 2028 election matchup. I'm sorry, what did you say, Pat? Yeah, exactly. The Socialist, AOC, Democratic Socialist, leads J.D. Vance for the first time. You know, the Republicans, oh, J.D. Vance is a shoe, oh, it's done.

Oh, really? Yeah. All right. AOC, a slight lead over J.D. Vance in a hypothetical 2028 matchup, AOC edges the Republican nominee 51 to 49. In the argument, Verasite survey released on Tuesday, however, the result was within the 2.7% point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote if the election was between the two of them. Newsweek reached out to the representatives of Vance and AOC by email to comment on the story.

outside of normal business hours, while neither individual has formally announced a presidential run, both have been widely tipped as potential candidates. So the poll also found that Vance was more popular among white voters with 57% saying they would vote for him and 43% opting for Ocasio-Cortez. But she has a commanding lead with black voters, 79% and with Hispanic voters, she's at 64%. Keep in mind, black voter 79% just 20 years ago was 92%. Just 10 years ago was 88%. So even 79% is not as high as it once used to be just a decade ago.

So Tom, is this a real poll and is this something the American people should be concerned about? Specifically, conservatives. Well, yes and yes. Yes, it's a real poll. It was the argument verisite survey. And you could say, well, there's flaws in them typically over time. They haven't been perfectly accurate. Yeah, well, but you know what?

think of these polls, Pat, as directional, that it's directional. So it's a real poll, and people should be concerned about it. The other polls that are out there that have J.D. Vance versus the field, Vance holds his own at like 37, 39%. And the second in those polls is Gavin Newsom, like at 22%. So when you do Vance against the Democrat field, everybody goes, wow, he's way up on them. But you have to remember, everybody in those polls as Republican is saying, Vance. The Democrats are splitting their votes about everybody that's down there. And when you take off, excuse me, Gavin Newsom, then it's this. So whenever you do a head-to-head poll like this

in the midst of going into weakness and midterm, I'm not surprised by the result. However, this should be a concern for the GOP and for Vance and people because what it means is a consolidated Democrat side right now is closer than you think. and may even be a little bit ahead because the economy and affordability and some other issues are very real. So this is something to be concerned about, and she's capable. The other thing I look at, now this is me going to go below the surface, who paid for this poll? Usually politicians pay for the polls. The pollsters just don't go out and do it.

They have donors and they have sponsors of the polls. So did some people on AOC side said, let's run this. And then they run it and they go out. and I found it was odd that Newsweek said we reached out to representatives by email outside of normal business hours. I hate it when the media does that. Oh, like, I called them,

we got no comment from AOC or Vance. We did send the email at midnight, so I've got to be honest about that. That's such BS. What do you mean? Well, it's like they said we couldn't get in touch with them. When did you said it? So they openly say, well, we did send the email

after business hours. Yeah, but to be fair to them, Neither one of them responded. So it's not like they sided with somebody. By the way, is there a chance? But they didn't respond at midnight. Tom, did you find out who funded the poll? I'm actually curious.

No, but I want to know who funded the poll. How can we find out? Usually you can find in the fine print of the polls and looking at what's called cross tabs and the fine print said that this poll was sponsored by the United States DNC. Usually you can see the sponsors. Let me tell you a dark. ABC will ask Ipsos say we'd like you to do a poll.

A part of me is. You know, the way I would do it, if this was the world I was in, you know how I would do it, Tom? I would do it as a conservative and funded, shown AOC's ahead. Are you freaking kidding me? Light of fire. They better realize what the hell is going on. While you guys are working for ranking on influence and media and podcasts and all this stuff, the Democrats are whooping your ass.

If it's just about the podcast game, then great. You're doing fine. But it's about your values and principles winning, you're losing. If it's just close, there's a problem. That's my opinion. Interesting. Vinnie, where are you at? AOC against J.D. By the way, can you play that clip by AOC, what she says? Watch this, folks.

She was asked, if you guys went head-to-head, how do you think you would do against J-D? Look what she says. Go for it. Do you think that you'll beat that you could beat J.D. Vance in a head-to-head race for president, as polling suggests in 2028? Listen, these polls like three years out are, you know, they are what they are. But let the record show. I would stop him. I would stop him.

Thank you, Congresswoman. I will stop him. I will stop him. Do you think she kind of knew the question? Of course. I don't know if she knew the question. I know she knows about the poll. I'm scared.

Do you see that? The vibe she gave me, she knew about the poll. That's a little smug. Rob, is that saying who did the poll? Yes, it's an argument, Verasite poll. Apparently the organization was founded in August of this year.

Okay, and found about Jerusalem, Damas, who is Jerusalem Demas? Tyler Cohen, is that a left guy or right guy? who's Tyler Cohen, who's Susan, including left center, central liberal leanings. I don't know these names. Rachel Pritzker is in there. Okay, so it's a leftist. Yeah, it's a leftist.

It's people that really don't like the country. All right, so it's a leftist idea. So, Vinnie, what do you have with this? Well, poll aside, I'm just, listen, this Mamdani effect and all the, this movement, that's the future of the Democratic Party. It's socialism, it's promising young people free stuff. that they're never going to get, that they're going to pay for it. And it's a real, real thing, real serious thing that people need to worry about. And that's why I'm pro, like, the mission should be us.

And I take a little, like, it bothers me that a lot of people are like, influencers are going to take that. You know what people need to be doing? How about all those Republicans and all those races and everything? Get your asses out there. Go do your thing. Go grassroots. Do everything because guess what?

Daddy's Trump co-signing isn't as powerful. as it used to be. You need to be out there all these people because they just think, well, if Trump co-signs for me and says he's behind me, I'm going to win. No, no, no. You have to do the work. Get out there and do it. They're doing the work. The AOCs and all these Jasmine Crockets,

that's, to me, it's scary because they're out there and the message is getting out there to these young voters who have no idea, who have no idea. We're all going to see what's going to happen in New York. Give it two years with all these fake promises, all this fake socialist, communist,

stuff is going to happen. They're going to get in. And I keep warning people what's going to happen when the pendulum swings and these people. By the way, AOC is one of the people that said, well, the world's going to end. She's like, because of climate change, the world's going to be end. So even in her presidency, we're probably all going to be dead in her mind. So I think it's a very, very scary thing that people need to be aware of. Well, the artillery of the left is the media. And the media has been doing a very consistent job. I'm not going to say good job. they've been very consistent in their attacks on, oh, it's affordability, affordability. Now, there's some truth that's in that.

But then they're also saying, and the tariffs called inflation, the tariffs caused inflation. You look at polls right now, people think tariffs cause inflation because the media has been hammering in their heads. They actually didn't, but that doesn't matter. So therefore, the anti-Trump undermining at the time where the economy is trying to adjust is working. And the average person is saying, yeah, I do feel the economy. I do feel this. And so now it's showing up right here and say what you will about Gavin Newsom. But when you see the polling that's this close right now, the Republicans don't have a messaging problem.

They have a messaging problem and a policy getting traction problem. Because I think some of the things that the president said on his speech were good and correct, but they need traction and momentum behind that that shows up in the hands and pocketbooks of the American people. Hey, Tom, who was the pollster on this? This is a left-leaning poll that was just created, the argument. They call it the argument in August of 2025. So this new polling organization was created. How much credibility to give this organization?

Moderate. Okay, I'm at zero, maybe 1%. I don't think they only found a group of people that won't only this way. I think it's very legitimate to get a group of voters that say, are people upset enough at the economy? You're given at zero. Yeah, I'll tell you why. You're given zero credibility.

Let me set you up. You're given zero credibility to a poll that has AOC ahead of J.D. Vance. Yes. Go for it. This is, it was established in August of 2025. So it's about three months old. Congratulations in your rookie year pollsters. We also know how much credibility I give pollsters.

I trust Vegas because they have money on the line. Not some literal left wing poster rag that's coming out there. And shockingly, AOC is beating J.D. Vance in this one poll within the margin of error. This ain't Gallup. This ain't Pew. This ain't Rasmussen. This ain't UGov. This isn't even ABC, CBS, NBC, none of it. It's some random media organization that's like, yeah, AOC, hypothetically, can beat J.D. Vance. To me, that's absolute BS. AOC is an intellectual lightweight compared to J.D. Vance. She may have more style. She may have more Twitter followers in the land of eyeballs and an influencer economy. J.D. Vance is a really. real dude. I'm not the biggest J.D. Vance guy, so I'm not here defending J.D. But in a debate, full-on, hypothetical debate, if they're on stage between the vice president, J.D. Vance and AOC on stage, she's going to get her clock cleaned. It's not even going to be close. And just because you're a big booty Latino, they ain't going to help you on this one. So to me, this polls BS,

AOC running for president is BS. Yes, she has influence in the Democratic Party. She has no influence in a greater landscape from the American economy. That's just me. Secondly, Erica Kirk came out during Turning Point and said that she's going to do her best to help get J.D. Vance elected. We'll see what happens with that. My focus is, let's end the year strong. Let's try to win the midterms so the trans community doesn't make a comeback. And then we can worry about 2028 in 2028.

So to me, AOC is a non-starter. we haven't had a representative go from representative to president in the history of America and do you think it's going to happen with this intellectual lightweight AOC? What a pompous argument you should say. Sure, call me pompous, but I'm right.

No, it's, you don't understand. You know how many times you've been wrong guy? Like, you know what a pompous argument that is? Tell me why it's pompous. Let me tell you why it's pompous. That is by far the worst argument to have right now in this season. Explain.

I'll tell you exactly why. I'll tell you exactly why. Tell me the biggest victory Republicans have had the last 90 days. Go ahead. What do you mean the biggest victory? Tell me the biggest Republican victory that they've had in any of the major elections? Tell me a big victory they've had. Of course, because the pendulum has swung back towards the other party,

just like it does every single midterm, every single election. On day one, when this guy, Mamdani came up, did you think he was going to become the mayor of the city? No, you did not. So don't act like you knew Mom Dani was going to win or not. None of us did. No. Everybody was shocked.

And guess what happened? He beat Eric Adams stepped down. In liberal New York City. It does. That matters. Then Miami after Suarez. What do you want to do? What argument do you want to go with this?

That was the new, just because a Democrat gets elected, doesn't mean there is. First time in 27 years. Okay, because it's an affordability conversation. No, but that's the point. So stay on that. Okay. There's a difference between a Democrat. Democrat, a progressive, and an Islamist communist in New York City.

The problem, the problem with this is Adam is the following one, okay? In the world of competition and winning, chips are not handed out. In the world of competition and winning, do you know who loses? And undefeated New England Patriots going up against a freaking Eli Manning who nobody would have ever thought was going to win beats the flipping Patriots. The helmet catch. Two times. The game shouldn't have been that close.

So what's the point here? That should have been the greatest team ever that for the rest of our careers, we talk about undefeated, okay? So the moment, the pompous attitude of the Miami Heat against the Dallas Mavericks making fun of Dirk. Oh, he's sick. He's coughing. He whooped your ass single-handedly.

The second best player on that team was who? Finley. Dirk beat Miami Heat with Bosch. Wade and LeBron with a six-inch vertical leap. He can't even jump. He beat the living crap out of him. He won 24 out of 24, I think free throws, scored 48 points on one in the games. Embarrassed those guys.

Maybe the worst loss ever. You want to sit in and say less than 1%? If I'm a shot caller in the Republican Party behind the scenes, and I no longer do the podcast, every single day I'm sitting there telling him, you guys better get your asses together. You guys better get your asses together. You guys better get your asses together. Stop being so freaking confident and arrogant.

Shit's about to get real. Okay? The victory of the Miami mayor and the victory of the New York City mayor is only validating AOC. It is only validating AOC's policies. These are baby AOC's winning. If I'm AOC's campaign managers, guess what I'm saying? Look what the hell is going on. You know what America's telling you?

They want me. They want AOC and you want to get cocky? No, listen, as great of an election night, 2024 was while we were celebrating with 2,000 other people here going crazy, if these guys are going to go like this, and this is what the Republican Party is going to be and, you know, all the stuff that they got going on, they better get together quickly.

This is midterms are around the corner. By the way, midterms gets done. Guess what Trump's going to be doing the last two years? Nothing. Yep. Nothing. So, no, I don't know. My biggest challenge right now is, yes, a lot of these policies are creating what?

They're making people making money. Hey, we're making money with AI. Hey, we're making money with crypto. Hey, we're making money with this. Hey, we're making money with all this. Of all these deals that we're doing together. I totally get it. But 2020, it's going to come like this.

And then what? And the next president, Fox has announced it. Newsom is the next president of the United States. Fox has announced it. A shocking upset AOC defeats Vance. To think and underestimate that is exactly why they'll lose.

And I hope they don't feel the way you just portrayed it right now. You have the right to have your opinion right now. I hope they don't feel that way. I hope they're not sitting there, you know, because don't get me wrong. Trump to me is a once-in-a-lifetime type of guy that came in and won.

Take this once-in-a-lifetime type of guy with the thick skin that he has that one-on-one. Okay, take this guy out. And so who's next? You think it's going to be an automatic shoeing? I don't think so. I think it's going to be very, it's a very different climate they're living in right now.

Very different climate they're living in right now. And things can change like this, towards the bad or towards the good, like this. So getting cocky going into midterms in 2028 is practically the dumbest idea conservatives could have going in. It's the wrong move. Never be this cocky.

And by the way, Adam, I actually think most of them feel like you right now. I actually think most of them laugh at AOC saying I'll stomp on up. Never underestimate your opponent, ever, never, ever. I don't care how rich you are. I don't care how powerful you are. I don't care how talented you are. Never, ever underestimate your opponent that's willing to go to all levels to get the job done. And all levels, I mean is what, nasty, ugly, manipulative, dark.

God first, fear God first, protect the greatest country in the world, keep presenting the values and principles, unify, simplify, we are not unified right now. There is no unification at Turning Point USA. Is that shown you unification? It's not to me. That's not shown me unification. The two biggest names that were out there giving a message like that. Now, don't get me wrong, you know, juniors got to talk.

You know, some of the other guys got to talk. You know, some of the other guys that have, you know, certain important roles, they got to talk and we'll see what they're going to be saying. The synergies haven't spoken yet. The dividers have spoken. I don't put Ben or Tucker as a synergist or unifier. So, yeah, I don't know. I think I am only, sometimes you sit there and you think everybody is over-prepared.

And you would be amazed how many times people are not over-prepared. All of these guys, like how many meetings you think has been had about unifying the entire party? You think there was a meeting of bringing Ben and Tucker together behind closed doors? I don't know if that happened. You think there was a meeting of Ben and Tucker having a private dinner together with somebody that's a non-existent person, not a front-facing type of person saying, hey, guys, can we just hash this out? Listen, Tucker, Ben, we're not leaving this room until we hash it out.

All the phones outside, each of you guys gets to bring one security guard in that you trust. And if you want to bring your one person and you can, but no phones, nothing. Everyone's getting frisk. I don't want anything to be in here. Out. Let's talk. What's going on? No, this is a very weird season.

Trust me, I was on the other side where I was selling the hope four years ago where, hey, it's It's going to be Trump. You got to do this, what's that. Not right now. Right now it's cockiness. And it's extremely disturbing to me and annoying to me when I see this. But can I respond real quick? Yeah, of course.

Well, I agree with you on the cockiness thing. I don't start dancing in the end zone when you're on the two-yard line. However, I will say this, since you use an NBA reference, and we all know who's more knowledgeable when it comes to NBA of the two of us. No question. There's levels to this game. So there's a difference between winning a representative seat, Congress seat, versus a Senate seat, versus becoming a governor of a state versus becoming the president of the United States.

To me, if J.D. Vance ran against AOC in the Bronx, she'd clean his clock. Okay? Because she would win. If they ran for maybe even governor of New York, she'd have a chance. A general election, when the entire country is focused, hyper-focused on what you know, not just style, but substance. To me, she's an intellectual lightweight compared to J.D. Vance, and she would be exposed. This doesn't mean that she isn't capable of doing her little thing in the Bronx. Respect on that.

This also doesn't mean that we should dismiss the fact that 2028 is around the corner and that we do need to basically wake up or else we're going to get our clock clean, the Republican Party, so to speak. But to me, the question was, do you believe this poll of a general election of the Vice President of the United States versus AOC. And my simple answer was, I don't believe it. I don't see it. I'm not being cocky. She could win a representative seat in New York,

not a general election against J.D. Vance. That's my opinion. Yeah. And if the other side keeps believing that, that's how great empires fall, buddy. There's a reason why one of the greatest CEOs in Silicon Valley wrote a book called Only the Paranoid Survive. And I'm simply telling you, conservatives have zero paranoia right now. now. They are overly confident, and that's not a good thing.

When you say that they're overconfident, do you think they're overconfident about what? Winning 2026, winning 2028? Everything. That's not the vibe I'm getting for these people. They should be paranoid. They just got their asses handed to them this November. No, no, they're overly confident. They're overly confident because they're saying comments like you.

There's a difference between mayor and the vina. Yeah, but that's my opinion. I don't represent the RNC. I don't represent anybody. I represent myself. Who in the RNC is saying, we got this. I don't hear these people Yeah, overly confident Tom

Let me tell you, these things can change And they are cocky And they are confident Who's they though? R&C strategists Look at what they say Look what people say they come out and do So they say a lot of times

Exactly what you said Is it historically accurate to say A representative has never made it to the White House? Yes, but it's also historically accurate to say the economy has been the outside of intense wartime, the economy is a single most deciding factor for U.S. elections. You go take a look. Bush Sr. beat nobody, beat nothing in a suit in 1988. The economy shifted. In 1992, they were cocky. And by the time the summer got there and Ross Pro was getting traction and an unknown named Bill Clinton was up,

it was too late. They lost in 92 on strategy in the midst of the economy. And right now, yesterday, University of Michigan has a highly credible consumer sediment survey. You know where that is right now? All time low. So we have an economy issue that's in front of us. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey just hit an all time low. Forget polling. Forget strategists. Let's go look at things that have credibility and say, do you think that says that maybe you should be thinking about it? Do you think that says you maybe shouldn't be cocky? Do you think that says that all the things that you would never think would happen might happen?

Yes, I think they're staring 1992 right in the face. Well, you know, you know, Reagan, the Bush senior, Bush senior beat Dukakis, beat nobody. And then 92 comes along the economy burps and they're cocky about it. And they got out strategize. Clinton come out of nowhere. Perrault fouled the stream with the third candidate numbers, but they weren't ready for it. They weren't ready for it.

And they got beat. And I see history getting ready to repeat. And it worries me because I think there's a country that's here that also is hanging in the balance, not just left right. Well, Tom, respect to you. Why do you think they think that the economy is in an all-time low? Are you blaming Trump for that? I'm not you.

No, I'm not. But listen, when people go to the ballot box, it's not who they blame, it's how they feel. Sure. And it's the independence in the middle. I don't worry about the hard Trump, you know, foundation. I don't worry about that. I do worry about the independence in the middle. And guess what?

Even the charts that Trump showed, you saw how big those blue bars were and you saw the red bars were changing. The red bars have to get past the blue bar to get things back to what you were able to afford and buy previously. You have to overcome the afflation effect. 31% remember that number. Since Biden came into office, the U.S. dollar in spending power

for the U.S. citizen has gone down 31%. Now it's coming up. It's coming up and all the things that Trump said are true. But that traction's got to come true and then it'll show up in consumer sentiment and then they got a shot. You can't be

cocky in the face of that. Okay, let me just stay on this affordability economy issue for one second. Trump's been president for not even a year yet, okay? It's been 11 months. I believe that he's on the right track to turn the economy around to where we want to be. But let's not dismiss the fact that under Joe Biden, they printed how much money? They let how many illegals into the country?

The border thing, that lost my vote completely. Supply and demand, there's 10 million plus illegals in the country. Our dollar is being devalued. Which audience do you think? You're speaking to you. But the point is this. You're talking about consumer sentiment as an all-time low because it's the reverberations of what happened the last four years. That's not how this works, though. Tell me how it works. That's not how this works. What percentage of people do you think are watching and know what you just said right now? Most people are not smart. No, not most people are not smart. Our audience follows is smarter than most. Yes. But what I'm saying is the average audience. Most people are not following it. You mean our audience or people in general? Not our audience is smarter than most. Yes. But what I'm saying is the average audience. is sitting there, the average voters, like, what you, explain to them what consumer sentiment is. Can you tell me the definition of consumer sentiment? I just judge.

Yeah. No, no, Vinnie don't even know. How you feel national mood. Where I'm going with- Facts don't care about your feelings, Vinnie. Where I'm going with this for you is, this has got nothing to do with Trump. Trump's one. Trump did his part.

Moving forward, it's not on Trump. This is no longer a Trump thing. Yeah, Trump can play a role. on who he picks as the endorsement and stuff like that, yes. Trump has done more for conservatives and Republicans than any other candidate has done the last 20 years. This is not that conversation, okay? We're not having that conversation.

It's the next ones. Now what? What are you going to do? Who's the next ones? Who's rising up to take this carry the flag to the next phase? That's a concern. They best not get cocky. That's all I'm saying.

If you get cocky, you're going to get caught. And do you ever like, I had Buster Douglas on my podcast one time. The boxer? Yeah. Do you know who he beat Mike Tyson? He beat Mike Tyson. Yeah, knocked him out. Do you know nobody in a million years would have thought Buster Douglas going to beat Mike Tyson?

I remember that. Nobody would have ever thought when that happened. Everybody was shocked right when it took place. His mother had passed away recently right before the fight. When he won the fight. This is a wrong time to be cocky. There's a wrong time to be cocked. That's all I'm saying.

And we'll see. I think turning point U.S. is going to play a very important role. You know, she's, Erica's barely getting off what happened to her husband, losing it.

And she's still, you know, it's only been 90 days. So is she going to drive and do all that stuff? We'll see. We'll see what's going to happen. It's going to be a lot. Remember, here's who you don't have.

You don't have Elon right now. So you don't know what Elon's going to be doing. Elon's still a wild card. And you forget how big of a role he plays. We don't know who the independent runner is going to be in 2028. That's going to be the RFK of 2028. I'm going to go to the next story. I'm going to go to the next story.

Next story I want to get into is, let's talk about this. Something very interesting happened, and then we'll get into a couple of the stories that have to do. You know, a matter of fact, let's go into Nick. How did he say his last name is it, Reiner? Nick Reiner makes first court appearance to face murder charges and killing of his parents. Okay. Rob, if you got that clip, is this it? Go forward, Rob.

And does counsel join in the waiver? I join the court finds that the defendant has made an annoying and intelligent labor of his right to a speedy arraignment and that his counsel plans in that waiver. Whether said January 7, 20, 26 for arraignment in this department, bail to stand at no bail. Anything further on that case? Not by the defense, Your Honor. Anything further? No, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Okay. You can pause it right there. Now, by the way, Michelle Obama was on, I think, Jimmy Kimmel? Yeah. She's on Jimmy Kimmel, and she's telling a story about how they were supposed to meet with them that night to have dinner with Rob Reiner. Okay. So they're having, if you have the clip, Rob, is that the one?

Yes, sir. Go for it. Go ahead. My husband were friends with Rob and Michelle Reiner, and I'm very sorry for your loss. Oh, my God. How long have you known the Reiner's? We've known them for many, many years, and we were supposed to be seeing them that night. last night

and we got the news and let me just say this unlike some people Rob and Michelle Reiner are some of the most decent, courageous people you ever want to know they are not

deranged or crazed what they have always been are passionate people in a time when there's not a lot of courage going on they were the kind of people who were ready to put their actions behind what they cared about and they cared about their family and they cared about this country and they cared about fairness and equity and that is the truth I do know them we believe you and your husband

were okay so Rob what what else has happened since a lot of old clips have circulated right a lot of old stuff from Nick Reiner the family tweets here's a tweet I just saw right here until Trump goes to prison from Rob Reiner, until Trump goes to prison, I will no longer be posting on Twitter. I had it with the insults and put downs. This is Rob Reiner. F, all of you mega assholes.

Okay, so that's Rob Reuter. Oh, by the way, if you... And there's a ton of these. Oh, for 10 years, it was the anti-Trump. Anytime a camera was in front of Rob Reiner, God rest his soul, it was all about Trump. F his followers, Russia collusion.

That's all he was. Like, you forgot about the movies. Like, people were just, he's just anti-Trump the entire time. Here's one. No surprise. Trump colluded with Russia. We've always known his presidency was illegitimate. Now it's been proven for the sake of a democracy. This man must be indicted and jailed.

There's a reason why the president came out hard the day he died and he put the... And a lot of people were critical of him. And a lot of this other stuff showing up. They're like, wait a minute. This is kind of, you know, Trump never forgets what happened. Remember, he said it himself. He says, I hold grudges. I'm not like some of these other guys, right?

You know, but there's a couple clips, Rob, of, did you see the one with Conan O'Brien? Yeah, I was just going to say that. Do you have that one, Rob, with the Conan O'Brien? No, let me take a look. And so allegedly, they were at the house, right? He was at Conan O'Brien through a holiday party is what happened. Well, I have an audio on that, yeah.

And apparently, if you remember Bill Hater from S&L, they were having a conversation, it was awkward, he stormed off. there was, they were all together at a party that night. Hours later, he murders his parents. There's famous Hollywood actors there. They're all going to probably have to testify. Of course. As to what did you see that night? What are they arguing about?

What are they arguing about? Yeah. Is this it? To me, I, I, the politics aside, this drug addict, semi-homeless kid murdered his parents. That's the storyline. Final hours of the what's this Rob? Is that the one?

This is, this is Anderson Cooper We're talking about the Wall Street Journal Story journalist who reported on the fight at Conan O'Brien's party, including the Bill Hater interaction. Go for it. Sure. So on the night before they were found murdered, Rob

and Michelle brought their son, Nick, to a holiday party at Conan O'Brien's house. During the party, he was approaching people there, asking questions that in that context seemed confrontational, strange. especially are you famous asking people there are you famous so you can imagine a party of actual famous people and fame adjacent people who are really used to strange behavior out in

public but here they are at a gathering of their peers at a party hosted by conan it was unsettling to some was it wasn't sort of oh are you legitimate like oh are you famous it was saying to like bill hater who's a very famous well-known saturned live comedian are you famous Like, there's a hostility to it, it seems. Yeah, and also keep in mind, this is a kid, a man who grew up around famous people. He knows fame. Yeah, so Bill Hader was one of the people he approached at the party. You report on sort of a, I don't know if it was an argument or a...

There was an awkward exchange made more awkward by the fact that he had met Hater earlier in the night. So when he's... Through Rob had introduced him. So when he came up and asked him questions such as, what's your name, are you famous? it was unsettling and described as scary from haters' perspective. And then how, do you know how long he stayed at the party? Was he asked to leave? That is unclear, and there are kind of conflicting reports

about how much tension was in the room, whether or not he may have argued with his dad and whether that argument was significant at all. I think what stands is this fact that this is going to be remembered as a very strange prelude to a really horrific tournament. You've also known a lot of reporting just on his addiction, on his past. Yeah, I mean, the fact that Rob and Michelle had brought their 32-year-old son to this party, I think, is kind of a sign of their ongoing efforts over the years to really stabilize him,

to normalize his life, had been rocked many, many times by his addiction. And there had been, I mean, there had been a lot of efforts by Rob Reiner over the years. I mean, making that film, Rob Reiner worked as a director on the movie that his son co-wrote, apparently without salary, even, in the hopes that that would sort of launch him into a career, I guess. Correct. And to really try and understand what Nick had gone through as a father. I mean, that's how Rob described it, at least. And what's remarkable is that that whole thing would be private and opaque to us if that movie hadn't happened. They hadn't gone on these press tours talking about their problems with, you know, kind of varying degrees of comfort and discomfort, it seemed like, on both their parts. Yeah. It's fascinating reporting the Wall Street. By the age of 22, he went to rehab 18 times. By the age of 22, he went to rehab 18 times. Wow. Another story that just dropped from TMZ right now says he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and a Mets he was taken made him erratic and dangerous, okay? Erratic and dangerous. And some of the clips you see is just disturbing between the father and the son relationship, Rob. Do you have that one clip? You just, and I know you've seen quite a few of me. You and I were talking about some of them. Some of them were not going to play.

There's a lot of weird stuff out there on which one is this, Rob? Can you play it? I just want to see which one this is. I don't seem very fiery to me. I get crazy. I get crazy. You don't want to set me off. Were you ever worried that Nick could shine poorly on your career or something like that? No, no. That never crossed my. My opinion, in my opinion, the reason they're taking, whether there's drugs or alcohol or gambling, whatever they're doing, they're doing it because there's a pain.

There's something inside that's they don't feel good. They don't feel good about themselves and they're self-medicating. So to try to understand why it is they're not feeling good. Well, okay, so Adam makes a really good point. Automatically, the view, the whole world was like, Trump, and as if it was a surprise, Donald Trump was going to say, like, I got right, like whatever he said, his condolences, but he said, this guy had Trump Demrange's syndrome,

and he didn't say something like, by the way, Again, I didn't agree with it too soon. He didn't say like, oh, I'm happy he's dead. He just made a point that this guy for 10 years made his life a living hell. Put that aside, Adam makes a great point. The real issue is on, just to add to this, a caveat, Rob Reiner reportedly, this is from Yahoo Entertainment, said that he was petrified of his son, Nick,

and that he could hurt him in his final words at this party. Okay, that's number one. The deeper issue to me is you could answer this. Rob could, and I asked Rob earlier, and you could, Tom. If you are going to rehab at 14 years old, okay, as a parent, as a father in Hollywood, how does that happen? How are you not in the kid's life enough that a 14-year-old has to go to rehab? That's one question that I was asking, okay? Was there abuse?

What was going on? And we're not going to play the clips, but Al Franken and Billy Crystal on a rose said stuff that I don't even want to say on camera. I'm not going to say, you guys can go look at it. It was disgusting. It's disgusting. Understatement pedophilia type stuff. I don't even want to get into it. We don't know what type of abuse happened.

Nobody knows what makes that type of thing happen. I'm going to be very, very, I'm interested and curious to see what the defense is going to say and have for Nick, because I'm telling you, schizophrenia aside, he's going to probably reveal a lot of stuff that a lot of thing, a lot of abuse, I don't know if it's going to be true or not, but I think. a lot's going to come out in the wash and I'm very curious to see how his siblings are going to respond to potentially some of the abuse that he had because it's, to me, I've never heard of a 14 year old in rehab.

This is me personally. My experiences, Tom, as a father, can you explain to me how can something like that happen? Well, there's multiple layers of this onion as far as I see. First of all, I see just a horrible tragedy. The unthinkable is your own child, you know, you know,

commits murder. That's just unthinkable to me. And it's a tragedy. And, you know, I'll let Rob's life professionally and things he said just stand for themselves. I don't want to kind of recount that. It's just a disgusting tragedy. But I'll tell you this. When we were looking for schools in California, looking for quality schools, we were at a private school.

And at the private school, Vinny, you can say, wow, you know, this kid's been in rehab 18 times. but there were kids at that school that were not in rehab that needed rehab and celebrity parents didn't want them to be identified publicly because they didn't want the stain or the shame you'd be that that's bad publicity and they tried to work with things with their kids privately and yet they were enabling through you know monetary availability of kids to get their hands on drugs and they're hanging out with other celebrity kids that had wealth that were able to get their hands on drugs. So I don't think that the story can be, how did this guy end up in rehab 18 times since he was 14? There's part of me that says, thank God he was in rehab, and they were trying to get somewhere. But obviously it came off the rails,

and at 32 years old he then commits this. But there's another story in Los Angeles, and Pat's been around it, I've been around it, is the celebrities that never took their kids to rehab, but they needed help because they don't want the reflection on their own on their own reputation yeah i don't think that was rob though i think rob that you know if he went to rehab that many times you know at least he wanted to do something about it this is a clip by the way of him walking around after his parents were found watch this security camera of footage

shows nick reiner an hour before his arrest this is after he killed his parents charged with the murder of his parents goes into convenience store sunday evening and then quickly leaves the store. Rob, what audio is that? I thought it was like somebody doing audio. No, that was Adam's clip. There you go. So, disturbing, as you see something like this taking place with the sun.

I think a lot is going to come come out and I don't know this this story can go many different directions by the way this story can go many many different directions when some of the stories comes out and the legacy could be good bad and ugly very quickly what do you mean many different directions sir I saw some things that was just a little bit uncomfortable I saw some things that was a little bit uncomfortable you know you can come and do a roast and say stuff you want to say about me you can say roast about a lot of other stuff roast about a lot of other stuff roast about a young son and what you do to him and what happens

to him? You don't roast like that. Nope. These are professional roasters saying stuff like that. And he's laughing. The only reason you say something like that is if it's... Not at 14. Yeah, is if it's a... Anyways, this is a dark story, man. It's just a

dark story. Adam. Well, look, this to me comes down to the following. This is a story of a father and a parent's love for their son that just went horribly wrong. So, you know, the most likely person to kill somebody is not a stranger.

It's not some random person in an alley. It's someone in your house, domestic, violence, as they say. Like, if you want to go, like, in order, it's your boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, family member, friend, neighbor, and at the very least, stranger. So imagine this household of how combustible it would have been, right? So the rage, the emotion that was in there. Listen, I've been very open about this.

My father and I had a very, very toxic relationship. Not many people have ever fist fought their parents. My dad and I would fight all the time. I'm talking 10, 12, 15, 18 years old to eventually one of us ended up in jail for domestic violence. So I understand what it's like to live in a crazy household. I wasn't on drugs I wasn't a drinker my dad was an actual

wild card and it taught me how to basically deal with situations were very very uncomfortable in my opinion this the father and the mother loved their son with all their heart and they wanted the best for him

and he just could not get out of his own way you said something very powerful that I remember I remember a lot of things you say they're powerful you said to your kids I'll always love you no matter what you do I'll always love you unconditionally, but to say that I'm proud of you, that's something totally different.

Am I getting those words right? So I think they love their son, but they were so saddened to see what his life is becoming, and they kept clearly trying to give him another second, third, fifth, 20th chance at life, and eventually it costs him their life. And that's the most tragic thing here. Yeah, I'm going to go to his next story, and we have a surprise. prize person that's going to pay visit and then we're going to announce who won being on the podcast but this surprise visit it's just like it's a tough one surprise visit

yeah you'll see so excited i had no idea but i'm excited so is it dan von gno hang tight netflix partnering with barstool removing pardon my take video from youtube this is an athletic story so netflix and barstall sports announced a multi-year partnership Wednesday that will bring the video versions of part my take and two other barstool podcasts to the streaming platform beginning in early 2026 new episodes of part my take and a Ryan Rosillo show and a hockey podcast spitting chicklets will only be available on Netflix podcast listeners will be still be able to get access to the audio episodes on other platforms this partnership broadens how our members connect with barstoles leading sports voices and delivery exactly with our members crape unfiltered

commentary, sharp takes, and undeniable humor, said Lauren Smith, Netflix's vice president of content licensing and programming strategy. Netflix announced a similar content sharing agreement with Spotify and October, starting early next year, next new episode, a new video episodes of Bill Simmons podcast and several other podcasts produced by the Ringer, which Spotify owns will be available on the Netflix episode as well. Tom, why is it such a big deal? It's a big deal because the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox of baseball have haven't changed. But guess what? It's changing in media. And there are new Yankees and new Dodgers

and new Red Sox and Netflix's. Once upon a time, they were talked about very dismissively. Somebody called them as rebels. Oh, that's just a little group of rebels at the border, as if they were just there. I'm the country. We're the kings. We're the territory. We're the big armies. And Netflix, just a bunch of rebels. Now those rebels have a valuation that dwarfs some of those Old Kingdoms, and Netflix is a kingdom. And Netflix is going out, signing free agents. They're in deep, and they're trying to win the Warner Discovery battle. And also, there's a lot going on in a podcast.

You've got the Red Ventures Group that's aligned with Fox that's been out there buying people. Now they've come out and made their draft picks and they're signing free agents. And they've signed to a video podcast deal, all those, the ones you just mentioned from pardon my take in the ringer. And then across town, they also went across town and went and spoke to the breakfast club and Bobby Bones because they made a deal with IHeartMedia to bring some of the IHartMedia audio podcast over to the video world.

And they're signing that. So Netflix is signing free agents and trying to establish the video podcast Beachhead because the new wars are there. And the new Yankees is paramount with the Ellison money. The new Dodgers is Netflix and what they've grown up to be. And, you know, that's what, and the new Red Sox, you could argue there are another Yankees is YouTube TV. And YouTube's got the money. But YouTube hasn't gone out and like paid a bunch of exclusives for people.

They've built the platform that's built everybody there. But as podcasts are increasingly, I was reading that podcasts are now 71% viewed videos. is what's going on. 71% podcast viewing is video. So it's not just, oh, just get the tune-in app or get the I-Hard app or get your podcast app. You want to see people. The people are seeing it. And so podcasts are

increasingly video. And Netflix is sign them free agents and staking their claim to the future. Who's the new Oklahoma City Thunder? That's the number one team in the league in the NBA. I don't know. Is this Barstool talking about it? This is Dave. Fort. Illinois? Go for it.

Emergency Press conference time. If you haven't heard, the news. I'm proud to announce that Barstle is partnered with Netflix for three of our top podcast. Exclusive video only on Netflix starting next year. I'm talking you want to watch a video part of my take, Netflix. You want to watch a video of spit and chicklets? Netflix. I actually spit there. That's just my brain. You want to watch a video of Ryan Rosillo show? Netflix, Netflix, Netflix, Netflix. Exclusive video. Audio stay the same video where? Netflix, Netflix, Netflix. We're proud to partner, one of the best and breed companies.

That's what we do at Barstle. Evolve, rotate, evolve. Video next year, PMT, chicklets, Ryan Rissello, Netflix, Netflix, Netflix, yeah. So is it, do they only have three podcasts on the market? No, they've got a ton of podcasts. Only three of them are moving on Netflix.

Got you, okay, okay. I think three of the ones. By the way, shout out to Dave Portnoy. I mean, not only is he built a brand. He's the main face of the brand. He's running the operation. I mean, PPD, there's not many guys like you and him out there that start an organization that are the face of the brand that bring, you know, the talent.

He's a super talented guy, super capable guy. He also got acquired, didn't like it, and got unacquired back on his charge. Exactly. What do you think is? What do you think the deal is? How much you think the deal is with Netflix? Okay, I think it's a test deal for those three, but I think it's probably a three-year test deal. and I think it's probably definitely nine figures

that Netflix is putting out there because Netflix wants to get the beachhead and remember what a spot of excuse me Sirius did to get a beachhead they went after Howard Stern and they arguably overpaid for Howard Stern that thing didn't pay off supposedly that I read for 10 years but they went out and paid Howard a lot of money

because they needed anchors and I think Netflix is going out and it would not surprise me to see that this was a nine figure deal over the three years to get this because it's what Netflix wants to do with the magnet and now they've also gone out and they got Breakfast Club and a couple others as viewership of podcasts

is now 70% the number that I read video video and so it's not the tune in app anymore it's are you going to who are you going to be on are you going to be on Rumble are you going to be on Netflix are you going to be on YouTube and everybody's using the E-word exclusive

and those people tell me if they don't have Netflix. Now they have to subscribe. You feel me? Now all those people have to pay. How much is it a month? If you wanted Howard Stern, you had to go get serious. X-A-M. So now it's like... And by the way, Rob Randapole, would you like to see PBD and the team move to

move the podcast to Netflix? No, stay on YouTube, Spotify. Yes, move to Netflix. 90%. 93%. Don't move, stay. Well, we're proud to announce. Guys, we're there. But we're proud to announce that we have a special guest that's joining us right now. Are you serious right now? It's freezing where he's at,

but we're proud to announce the one and only Santa Claus. Santa Claus is with us today. Santa Corky. How are you, sir? How are you doing? I can't hear around. You got to unmute on the bottom left press unmute. We got Santa with us. There we go. Oh my goodness. I'm so excited to be here. This is wonderful. Why, you guys have rolled up a little bit in the last year. Yes, Santa, last year you were a little bit like... Stingy? The naughty list was a little bit like, because Adam was like a little bit in trouble.

Yeah. Do you think Adams made any progress in the last 12 months from last year to this year? Check it. Oh, wow. That's messed up. Well, it's been a, it's been slow progress, but I think he has. Let me double. Oh, wait a minute.

Oh, God. Well, the argument with him and Vinia earlier on the show, oh, my gosh. I was wondering, uh, names were starting to. fade in and out between this list and uh and uh naughty list yeah how do you how do you feel about that like when you see something like that with i mean they have to know these are smart guys it's it's it's a few days away from christmas why would you behave that way do you when you watch that do you forgive them do you tell them they're human how do you how do you process that well the thing is i know both of them believe that's the important part is believing and you know that's that's a

choice and do you mind if i say a little little thing about the choice of going to go for somewhere along the way adults decided belief was childish that hope is weakness that softness doesn't survive in a hard world but the most broken people i have met aren't the ones who don't believe who who who believe too much they're the ones who who stop believing at all. Every December kids ask me for something. No kids should ever have to ask me. They want peace at home, someone to come back home,

someone just to stay at home. Santa isn't about presence. It's about presence, being present. And you don't have to believe in Santa, Santa, but someone out there need you to believe in them. And if you've lost belief this year, that's okay. Borrow mine. Borrow mine. I've got plenty. You're amazing. You're amazing. You know, this year, it's a, you know, my son, Dylan, maybe you have a couple words to say to Dylan, to Brooklyn, to Senna, maybe Tico. Dylan this year wrote the biggest list of things he

I'm sure you saw the letter. He sends it to you. We already mailed it out. You know, the biggest list of things that he wants, that Senna wants, that Brooklyn wants. You know, are we, you know, when it comes down to it, you know, what, is there anything you want to share with Dylan, Senna, and Brooklyn? You know, maybe Tico is 13, but Dylan's 12. What do you have to share with them?

Well, hey, you guys have done an amazing job to stay on the nice list. And I'm so very proud of you. I love the way that you've gotten along. the way that you've got into your studies and you keep learning more, but most of all, it's the love that you have with each other. And I've noticed that love. And that is the most important part is how you guys react as a family together and being able to get along and helping each other with each of their steps. And that's the part that I'm so very proud of. And I'm so excited. I'm so excited for this Christmas because the elves have been working on something very special for you.

That's amazing. That's great. They're going to be excited. They're going to be so happy. By the way, just kind of a little bit, let's keep that between us. I know no one's watching. Brooklyn loves sweets, a little too much. Like she's a private investigator.

If we hide it anywhere, she will find it. Senna, and by the way, I love the mug that you got going on. What are you drinking, buddy? Senna wants a 3D printer. Okay. Yeah, Senna wants a 3D printer, and then Villain wants a bunch of dinosaur Legos, and then Tico wants stocks and Meneck. So I don't know, like, I'm just telling you, but you look great with that Merry Christmas

hat. I love it. You look amazing. The future looks bright right at you. This one's 25, number 25. Oh, very cool. By the way, 25 and 2025, that's sad. Amazing.

Santa, out of curiosity, I get a lot of parents that ask me. They'll say, can you introduce me to this person? It's always like you can introduce me to somebody. You know, they ask probably right now, the text that I'm getting the most, parents are asking me, look, can you introduce me to Santa? And I'm, look, I can't do stuff like that. He's a busy guy. But is there any way of parents want to have you or ask you a question about, you know,

the kids and, you know, noddy list or something specific? As busy as you are, can parents menect you and get a video response back from you or maybe even schedule a 15-minute calls so you can talk to the kid. Is that a possibility? Oh, yeah. That's wonderful. I've done that a few times this year,

and I'm very excited to say that, yeah, just Meneck me. It's Santa Corky, Santa Corky, C-O-R-K-Y. There it is right there. Just go ahead and do the QR code right there, and you can find me. And I've got to give that up there on a level with Vinny and PBD and those guys and Tom

and Adam, my goodness, you guys, are so good at that. But yeah, you can have a personal message from me. Text me. I'd be happy to do that. Well, Santa, appreciate you again. We know you've got a busy schedule. That's going to be a very, very busy season. They got to get to work. And I'm glad everybody's ready and excited about the season. Wink, wink, hopefully we'll see you next week. You know, when you come through, I'm going to try to stay up to be able to see you. But to everybody that's, yeah, to everybody. Yeah, I mean, you're very fast. But to everybody. We've been trying for years. Yeah, I have been. I failed every single you, I feel, but I try to get a glimpse of it.

But God willing, this year is the year. But thank you so much for tuning in with us. Folks, if you want to talk to Santa, Menecked him. We're going to put the Meneck QR code below as well, Rob, the link below so people can go to it. Santa Korki, take care. God bless.

We love you, Santa. We believe, Santa. Say hi to Hanukkah Harry for me also, please. Okay. Okay, guys. All right, Jake. Thank you, Santa. Rob, let's put that link below as well for people to go and send.

By the way, I'm going to tell you this to all the parents that are watching this. I am telling you, go do it, see the reaction of your kids. First of all, you're helping Santa. But secondly, go do it, show the reaction to the kids. See how they're going to react when they get a direct message from the one and only. I mean, like, this is like a lifetime. I remember Will Ferrell in the movie in the documentary, oh, you know, when he's, it was a huge motivation on true story when he says like, Santa's coming?

Santa's coming. Santa's coming, right? That reaction that you get, even as adults, but that's a great thing. And last but not least, guys, before we wrap up, you know, we said during Christmas, Black Friday, if anybody spends a certain amount, you know, we're going to do a raffle. We picked the winner. I called them. I recorded when I called him, just to see his reaction because to see what he was going to say.

He was shell-shocked. So we're going to fly him out. Okay. We got a picture of him and his family. They're so ecstatic that they're coming out. That's the picture. Look at that right there. with the family.

That's going to meet the PBD podcast family. The fellow in the middle with the kid on the shoulders, you can tell how excited. I love the enthusiasm of the son on the left, the one with the hair in his face. With the most amazing hair you've ever seen in your life? What a level of enthusiasm, but everybody else. So we're going to have you on.

So Rob, if you can play the clip of me making a phone call to one, that's by far the best one. Go for it. Hello? Is this Ephraim? Ephraim Bariga? Yeah. Ephrain, do you know who this is?

No. This is the number one customer service representative at Valuetainment and Pugetka. Oh, yeah, no, you're, no way. So you won, you're coming down to go to dinner and be on the podcast. That's awesome. Yeah, I just, well, listen, it was a lot of people, but your name got called,

and I wanted you to hear from me. So first, congrats. Number two, you're going to get a call from the team. Tom is here as well. Tom, if you want to congratulate him as well. Congratulations, dude. Looking forward to having you here. We're going to take you out to dinner.

We're going to be like, what do you think about the economy and the interest rates? Like, I don't know, man. I'm just happy to be here. Yeah, I'm just happy to do it next. And his name is what? Ephron. Ephron. What I love about this is a real estate professional.

We've never, we've never heard of. We've never met him. It's definitely not a rigged system. No, no, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. We're bringing in Ephron from...

We literally did a... What do you call it? The round robin... Yeah, so the name popped up. They're like, this is it. And we had our legal team there. Like, all right, that's great. Congratulations to him.
