But when he's going on his four-day trip, while everything is going on, he decides not to stop at one place, which is Israel, and not to go visit Netanyahu after what happened with Mike Walls. There's just a lot of weird things going on right now we gotta talk about.

Couple other things that I added that's not in here. One of the stories, it may be in here, but we just didn't circle it, is Michael Jordan, new NBA broadcast role, revealed in Career Stunner.

Starting point is 00:07:12 Michael Jordan's not gonna give feedback about the game. Let me tell you, I can't wait for that to see what that's gonna look like, but I have opinions on that. And then, you know, there's this team that lost this guy named Luca, because he was eating a little bit too much American food Apparently they're saying that's why he gained the weight and he goes to this one team. That's ran by this guy

He's famous for falling James man Something like that LeBron James who's always fallen the fall guy He goes to that guy and they run they joined that team and then this team in Dallas is gets this guy named Anthony Davis who was a good player, but he gets injured immediately and then the NBA is doing this draft pick and Dallas Mavs have a 1.8 percent chance of getting the first NBA pick and they end up getting the number one draft pick Did you hear about this? No, the NBA got the number one draft pick up getting the number one draft pick. Did you hear about this? The NBA got the number one draft pick. Who? The team?

Starting point is 00:08:05 That's going to the Dallas Mavs. Even though they only had a 1.8% chance of winning it, they got it. They said it was the fourth highest ever. When they drew the envelope, was it really cold? I don't know what it was, but that ball kept jumping, jumping, jumping, and a magnet. All of a sudden, that GMing is going to be fine. When you have certain connections, you can call somebody to call somebody to do something, to do you a favor.

Starting point is 00:08:27 Things like this happen in business. It happens in sports as well. You gotta be careful with it sometimes. But then later on the story comes out because there's always somebody that's on the inside, whistleblower will come and say something and then everyone's like, what happened here? Anyways, all right, so stories.

Starting point is 00:08:40 We're gonna start off with the tariff source, before we go into it, I just want to tell you a couple things. We got two things I'm gonna share with you. Number one, the lemon campaign has become a massive hit. This is a gift that gets sent to people who are maybe going through a challenging season right now with a lemon hat. But the whole campaign, the thought is about when life gives you lemons, which a lot of people have had that maybe recently.

Starting point is 00:09:01 If you know anybody, it is so amazing because you get to write a message on the inside while you're sending it to someone and it brightens their day. There's a message I'm giving to the person that's receiving it. I want to read you a couple of notes without the names, but I want you to hear what this is doing. I know things have been rough for you, but I hope this gift puts a smile on your face and some encouragement. You are amazingly talented and I know you will make it through.

Starting point is 00:09:21 Hang in there, love. Ma. Brother, I know life has been challenging. I wanna say I'm proud of you and keeping everything together. Stay true to yourself, I love you, and I know you can shoulder this and we'll be a better person about it.

That one we're not touching here with the merch. We may do one that says a different thing, but this is Golf of America, go to vtmerch.com, place your order. Okay, so, tariffs, tariffs okay I'm in Orlando yesterday

Starting point is 00:11:28 and we're at the hotel and you know all of a sudden boom you know we're getting news news news here's what's going on look at the market look at the markets react the market gone up you know 1,100 points and S&P and all the only a bitcoin cross 100,000 oh my god you know it's gonna be great and. And then while this was announced that the trade's going to be made, I tweet and I say I want to know the details because I want to know what this is about. Because on Sunday, we thought it was a trade deal, but it's a pause. So let me read this to you. U.S. and China agree to a 90-day tariff pause.

Starting point is 00:12:05 So what does this mean, okay, on a 90-day trade pause? The US Trade Representative Jamie Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Besson announced the US agreed to drop its tariffs from 145% on Chinese goods by 115% to 30 points, 30% while China agreed to lower its rate on US goods by the same amount to 10 percent, with Besant stating, the census from both delegations this weekend is neither side wants a decoupling and that high tariffs are the equivalent of an embargo. China's Commerce Ministry said the two sides agreed to cancel 91 percent in tariffs on each other's goods and suspend

Starting point is 00:12:45 another 24% in tariffs for 90 days, bringing the total reduction to 115 percentage points, adding the initiative aligns with the expectation of producers and consumers in both countries and serves the interests of both nations as well as the common interests of the world. Tom, your thoughts on this? Well, first of all, what have I always been saying, Denny? No math. Tom, if you said anything with math, I was going to leave. No, no, no, no, no.

Starting point is 00:13:11 The market goes up and down by sentiment, right? People get a little worried about the future, or they get optimistic about the future. And market goes up and down. That's what's going on. And so the market jumped because it liked the fact that now the costs will be not rising because of tariffs. And by the way, remember the Walmart study

Starting point is 00:13:32 done by the Wall Street Journal, 10,000 items at Walmart had not gone up in price for the American consumer. So when Rachel Maddow says, oh, the tariffs are hurting the American consumer for goods, tell her she's full of crap, just like you say to her when she says anything else. Yeah now we go back here to China is this is 90 days So the US has apparently seen enough or heard enough that that they're gonna do it

Starting point is 00:13:58 And this is they're gonna put this pause in place to put something together and what Scott Besson He was saying the consensus from both delegation is neither side wants long-term trouble. And so that's the right thing to say in front of the microphone. I want to see the terms and conditions. I want to see what happens. But the market sentiment is good. And it also means that Walmart and others that were holding the prices level and not raising them on the consumer

Starting point is 00:14:27 They're now going to get a little relief on their stock price because their costs won't be going up because they won't pay the tariff That they said they were gonna pocket and just say I'll eat it and put it out So this is good for the market This was good in the short term good for the consumer in the short term and good for companies that were gonna have it But who cave Tom where is it? I think China caved. I think China caved I'll tell you why because they've been doing little things behind The scenes such as I brought up the one that I finally found people talking about the chemical that that is in plastic that becomes

Starting point is 00:15:09 ethylene That we talked about we go a theme ethylene I think it's called and it gets processed and it makes ethylene which leads to Polyethylene and that's plastic and the Chinese dropped the tariff from like Ethylene and that's plastic and the Chinese dropped the tariff from like 145 to 0 because they said yeah, we need to make plastic and they can't get that they had from that time Okay, I think I think China caved I think well, I think China caved but I'll say I also think that we had seen the market moving and we saw the sentiment and I think I Think we were

Starting point is 00:15:45 put a little strategy into this as well to give everybody a little bit of a break okay Adam thoughts so who needs who more China needs the United States was the United States need China well if you look at it from a business perspective in essence who is the client who's the customer and who's the buyer we buy the majority of our stuff from them so there they need us more than we need them in terms of import exports. We're their number one customer. They're selling us stuff. America is in a consumption economy.

Starting point is 00:16:16 That's why we all get these trade deficits that you hear. We ever got a trade deficit with China and with Canada and Mexico because we're buying a lot of stuff. So China's probably looking at us being like, dude, they're going to stop buying from us. Didn't they just move their all their Apple? I just go into India. How bad can this get? I don't know. Could it go to Bangladesh? Could it go to Vietnam? I don't know. So on one hand, China has way more control over their people. And she has already worn their people like brace for impact,

Starting point is 00:16:45 it could get bad. But at the same time, they don't want to crumble. So they're probably looking at the US they're saying they're almost like staring at each other having a staring contest. And is Trump going to blink and Trump did not blink. Now, this isn't a resolution. They haven't come to any sort of agreement. It's a pause. You know, we talked about on the live podcast, Trump needs some wins. Trump said a pretty good week. Weekend. Yeah, what do you mean four things is all right, Vinny, sorry. Three days. All right. Has it been a week? Excuse me. Well, remember, we said let them cook. Let them cook. And people like, no, this is happening way sooner than I anticipated. It's not official yet. But signs are moving in the right direction.

Starting point is 00:17:22 The market likes it a lot. I think it was them caving. They were in Geneva, Switzerland, chilling, nice China. I think it was them, Pat, because like we've been saying, we're not seeing what China's going through. It's just China's not, what video have you seen of China and the way of life? They are struggling. They can't see things from China.

Starting point is 00:17:40 They don't let them get out to the public. That's what I'm saying is I think they caved, and mind you, this is all China's way. I don't know. P what I'm saying is I think I think they came back and mind you this is all all China's way I don't know so I want to know what you think so let's go to this article here okay Trump's China deal makes sense how he got here doesn't okay go a little bit lower and let's go from go a few more paragraphs lower but my mom's I run to me in a destination China his original reciprocal tariffs announced April 2nd were meant to punish countries

Starting point is 00:18:09 in proportion to their trade deficits. Can you zoom in a little bit more Brandon? Okay. With the US, China at 34% got one of the higher, highest major economies. Britain got the minimum 10%, universal tariff, hitting Britain a stalwart ally with open markets with any tariff would have been unimaginable

Starting point is 00:18:27 before this year, and yet it officially bears the same 10% reciprocal tariff as China, though it ran 12 billion deficit with the US last year, while China ran a $295 billion surplus last year. So meaning, we made money off UK, we lost 300, not lost. They made $300 billion more than we did. With the deal with UK, we made $12 billion more than they did. So true, China's 10% is on top of the 20% put in place a few months earlier, but that

Starting point is 00:18:53 20% is officially tied to China's role in the flow of fentanyl. To US, Trump's officials say China has shown readiness to act on that problem, yet Canada, Mexico, who have already acted, are being hit with more at 25%. Another inconsistency, Trump promised to ratchet up tariffs further on countries that retaliate. China did, and Trump responded by eventually jacking his reciprocal tariff to $125,000. Now he slashed it to 10%. That wasn't because of concessions from China. But the morning domestic costs, he backed off his reciprocal tariffs on most countries except China when the stock and bond market took fright and now has backed off of most of his tariffs in China amid warning of empty shelves, plunging container traffic and small business failures.

Starting point is 00:19:35 There's an irony here. Dependence on China has long been flagged as a potential national security, vulnerability for which tariffs can be justified but that same dependence is what makes decoupling no matter how mild painful Trump's wall walk back walk back on tariffs shows there are limits on how much pain Americans are willing to take Tom thoughts so let's go look at something what was happening behind the scenes you ask who cave do you have that link yes I did right there let's pop that up and if you could scroll down just below the picture of the two presidents

Starting point is 00:20:08 and get to that paragraph that's just below it. Okay, scroll down. Just below it. And we're going to read this. There it is. Okay. Right here. Nope, back up. Okay, here it is. Last week, Chinese officials granted exemptions. This wasn't asking us. It was them talking to their own companies apparently. Pharmaceuticals, micro trips, aircraft engines, and we're asking firms to identify critical goods they need levy free. And scroll up to the top of it please. And now I mispronounce it. Not ethene, it's ethane. It was US ethane because there was five of their top right back there right back there stop stop There you go five of their top ten chemical company says we need this frickin ethane from the US

Starting point is 00:20:54 So we can make plastic and stuff and so China behind the scenes I didn't think they caved but they sure were putting a lot of exemptions out before it even happened But I still don't trust them as far as I can throw them. Yeah, I mean, look, I'm going back again and I'm reading what's the book by Robert Hiltz. What's the book's name, Brandon? Lighthouser. Lighthouser. And this book is purely on trades.

Starting point is 00:21:17 I think everybody needs to read it. He was the one that was doing the trade deal on the first time with Trump. No trade is free. Changing course, taking on China, and helping America's workers, okay? And going back and forth on how the trade deal took place with them, what did we want from this trade deal? Like if you think about what is our concern with China,

Starting point is 00:21:38 we wanted the world's dependency not to be on China, okay? So move it out from them to different places. We wanted them to not agree on certain things when it's coming down to intellectual properties that they're stealing and not agreeing to the terms, contracts. We wanted a few other things with them in regards to the tariffs where you're acting like that $300 billion, what do you call it, the trade deficit that we have, how much of it was made up? I don't know if any of it's going to be made up.

Starting point is 00:22:09 That 297 deficit is going to be still a $297 billion deficit. So what are we doing that they're buying from us as well in return? And what level of commitment was made there? I don't know. Again, this is why I said I want to know the terms because it's very easy sometimes to celebrate and see that you are so easily excited just because the market goes back up and your 401k went from 220 to 278 and you're comfortable now. You're not worried.

Starting point is 00:22:37 Or your account went from 10 million to 11.6 million and you're comfortable. You're not worried. No. I'm still concerned with the relationship with China. A guy like me, I'm still concerned. I still don't trust these guys. And I understand that they want to be respected while they're negotiating and all this other stuff.

Starting point is 00:22:54 I just hope this 90-day, what happened to Iran back in the days when under Trump, it was so close and Iran falling and there being a revolution because of the sanctions, so close of something taking place. He trumps out, Biden comes in, Iran's a free-for-all again, back to the same exact situation. It was this close. I think the pain was very close to even a bigger deal getting done, but because of optics, we agreed to this and I think in the next 90 days The pain is gonna go back to them being able to tolerate another

Starting point is 00:23:35 90 days or 180 days come 90 days from now. So what's 90 days from now? Go to June July August August 8th August 10th. Let's just say whatever 11th to August 11th Now we start negotiating hard again. They can go four more months So August 11th, now we're starting to go shooting hard again. They can go four more months, September, October, November, December. All right, now it's 2026. Now everyone's campaigning for midterms. You lost leverage. That's my opinion, Tom. My opinion is the fact that the pain that you had to be able to make a bigger ask because

Starting point is 00:23:59 of pure optics, hey, we need to show the market doing well. Today's what, 930, 944, how's the market doing right now, Tom? Have you looked at it? Should be flat or down? Down 154. Yeah, but it's profit taking on the pop yesterday. Sure, totally get it. So down 154.

Starting point is 00:24:15 And yeah, this number right here, top 10 countries with the biggest trade surplus. Look at that. It's not even close. China, 600 billion. Okay, so you're looking at, and then go to India, look where India's at. Where's India? It's not even on the list. No, that's Ireland.

Starting point is 00:24:28 Looks like India, but it's Ireland. So look at India. It's not even, Australia's ahead of India. So what does that mean? Probably better terms when you negotiate with India. And they have a bigger control manufacturing around the world. China, they have a better structure, better system to be able to handle more business. But my biggest concern was the pain of negotiation

Starting point is 00:24:50 is officially gone and you're not gonna have it come January 1st, you're not. There's a story in here that we didn't circle to talk about and it says the fact that Trump's already eyeing midterms. And none of you guys marked it, you guys wanted to talk about that, sorry, I don't blame you, it's not like it's a big story. But he's already eyeing midterms and none of you guys mark that you guys wanted to talk about that story. I don't blame you It's not like it's a big story, but he's already eyeing midterms. Why is he eyeing midterms?

Starting point is 00:25:09 Okay, if you looked at the tax deal that he that I was reading the entire tax at a time I don't know if you went through it or not It's very interesting some of the things that they did here But anyways to just close this and go to the next story Adam you look like you wanted to say something I'm saying, you know Trump is cleaning up past presidents mess, you know who this mess we have in China. I could argue that it's a lot of US Presidents whether it was starting with Nixon opening up relationships with China I believe in late 60s early 70s and then I think Jimmy Carter in the in the 70s Officially recognized the CCP bill Clinton. I think was the person that at least

Starting point is 00:25:44 Started them getting into the WTO the World Trade Organization, I think, was the person that at least started them getting into the WTO, the World Trade Organization. I think then it happened under George W. Bush and then you had Barack Obama that didn't confront China at all, it would seem. So Trump is coming in and basically saying we're gonna clean this mess up real quick. So the good at the bad, the ugly, I think we're about to find out. But if you look at small businesses, here's this Article from Wall Street Journal how tariffs are crushing small businesses. They're basically saying that the Chamber of Commerce has requested Tariff exemptions for small businesses

Starting point is 00:26:20 Small businesses are apparently closing or expect to shut down from a lack of support but if you look on Main Street Brandon if you pull up the Fear greed index that I text you, a little better, the 664. Yeah. So this is the first time I texted you, Brandon. Yep. This is the first time that I've seen the fear greed index indicate a little bit more greed. A month ago, it was fear was the resounding narrative in the markets right now This is the first time I'm seeing greed 69 if you scroll down Elon musk will like that number if you scroll down you could see that I Think it was the lowest I'd almost ever seen on the fear is almost a 2, you know to 1 to 50 is on the fear side and then 51 to 100 is on the greed side

Starting point is 00:27:04 So Americans are basically saying you know what? I'm not as scared as I was a month ago. But for what it's all worth, and I understand, and Pat, my thing is with China, just with anything, something I feel personally something has something's going to be happening here because these guys are not going to go quiet. And like what is going to be their next thing? If anybody, it doesn't just have to be China. Something, they need to do something to try to cripple us. Because just this weekend, I mean how much winning did we do this weekend? In 48 hours he got the hostage, you know, pharma, this deal, 90 day pause. I mean how much more stuff can

Starting point is 00:27:40 he do to make himself look good? Now he's off in the Middle East. You're going to win so much, baby. No, he's kicking out. You, they'll be begging to lose. But hold on remember a week ago. Everybody was losing their minds Oh my god, what is he doing tariffs? Now everybody in CNN and everybody in mainstream media is changing their tune because now they have to give him credit So we'll see. Yeah, I'm with you though. I don't trust you. Do you try? Do you think China is capable of doing something insane now? They won't Won't now they won't because of what happened.

Starting point is 00:28:07 But that doesn't mean we got what we wanted because now you gave them a lifeline. That's the only thing. Remember, it goes back to that arcade game. You go, eh, finish line. Boom, you got 45 more seconds to race. Eh, finish. You got 40 more. We just gave them an additional seven months

Starting point is 00:28:26 that they can tolerate pain. They don't care about their people like America does. So to them, that's my only, again, not in the inside, I don't know what's going on, I don't know what terms are being negotiated. If I have to bank on anybody negotiating on our behalf, it's Trump and his people. I'm very confident with what they're capable of doing.

Starting point is 00:28:43 All I'm saying is, I don't know if this 90 day is going to get us back to some of the stuff that Nixon, Clinton, some of these other guys did in the past. I don't know if that's going to happen. You can't let just the market go and fool you that the right things were done. And I'm a guy that is supportive of who this guy is. I just fully know you're 47 years old. You're 45 years old. I just fully know you're 47 years old, you're 45 years old, okay, Tom, you're 59 years old, I'm 46 years old.

Starting point is 00:29:10 Guess what we got? You know what we got? We got a lot of living to do. And guess what's gonna happen next 30 years? China ain't going away. I do not want them to get any stronger than they are right now. I don't, I don't trust their,

Starting point is 00:29:27 they say you wanna test a man's character, give them what? Money. Power. Power. Okay, my bad. Guess what we learned during COVID with them? They had power. What did they do? We learned about them. You still want to trust their character? I don't trust their character. So to me, the kicking the can because you just want a good midterms or you want good

Starting point is 00:29:43 news going into Saudi Who gives this shit what the market's gonna be saying and what the media is gonna be saying anyways I know you guys would have never thought I was gonna say something like this But no, you're right. There's two measurements, right? Less reliance on China and jobs in America. That was the stated goal. You listen to the White House we want need jobs in, American-made products, and American-made suppliers, and we need less reliance. Well, we got there a little bit with India, which has been a long time coming.

Starting point is 00:30:13 Like Apple's been moving toward India for a while. We got some of that. China's not happy about that. Now we gotta get to suppliers in America, jobs in America, and less reliance on China, which means a weaker China. We gotta get there. we need all of them. It's not just the market.

Starting point is 00:30:26 I hope you're right. I'm just staying a little bit paranoid because they destroyed the world for a year and a half. They destroyed memories. I will never, listen, you know how I feel about business owners. To me, I have a very special place in my heart for business owners because I know how hard it is.

Starting point is 00:30:45 Yesterday for me was an 18 hour day and I loved it. Guy asked me a question, what are you doing here at 12.30? We had a private jet that we're trying to get on a flight to come back from Orlando and what do you call it? Weather hits and we canceled. We ran a used Dodge Ram and a whatever the other key was. We get out of the car three hours, we drive here, we go to a place called Firehouse, we buy Subway. Three hours on the car, we're just on the phone talking to a bunch of different people and then we get out of our three hours. We drive here. We go to a place called firehouse We buy subway three hours on the car

Starting point is 00:31:06 We're just on the phone talking a bunch of different people and then we get back here We'll do podcast with George Enko. We go for two hours ago, and then boom. I'm on the phone back small business owners Sacrifice time away their 401ks their savings their mortgage the money that they have in a property China destroyed tens of thousands of restaurants in America, hundreds of thousands of businesses in America and around the world.

Starting point is 00:31:31 People who couldn't see their kids, people who couldn't see their grandkids. Your grandmother's about to die in a hospital. You can't go see them because of COVID. These policies in America done by guys like Fauci and others and then what those guys did from China to disrupt the entire world. And you want me to be able to,

Starting point is 00:31:53 now I'm gonna hold you accountable to it. And all I'm gonna say is I just wanna make sure in the future you never do anything like that again. There's gotta be a level of accountability. Can't have you have too much power. I can't, we can't have you have too much power. I can't. We can't have you have too much power. You know how powerful they are? They're still not accountable and everybody knows it came from there. Zero accountability. China flu, ladies and gentlemen. Whatever,

Starting point is 00:32:14 bro. I'm not okay with that. But anyways, we'll see. I'll stay skeptical. I'm very, I'm hoping I'm wrong. I'm hoping I'm wrong and I'm hoping all the trade deals and everything is being done is done perfectly well. It's going to be great. I just hope I'm wrong and I'm hoping all the trade deals and everything's being done is done perfectly. Well, it's gonna be great I just hope I'm wrong. So next one here Trump says something very funny This is a video you were talking about. I accidentally saw it yesterday. So the what do you call it friend? Got a fat shot? She overseas and it's not working Hope to over change over charging you guys when you watch this video Brandon if you want to pull it up Yeah, it's it's full-on comedy. This doesn't make any sense Pause it you whatever you're doing put your coffee down because you're gonna spill it on yourself

Starting point is 00:32:52 I'm gonna I'm gonna save you from it. Just listen to this if you haven't seen you did go ahead Adam stop I mean, I'll tell you a story friend of mine. Who's a business man, very very very Top guy most of you would have heard of him. Highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes the fat shot. And he called me up and he said, president. He used to call me Donald, now he calls me president. So that's nice respect.

Starting point is 00:33:23 But he's a rough guy, smart guy. Very successful, very rich. I wouldn't even know how we would know this, but because he's got comments. President, could I ask you a question? I'm in London, and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take. I said, it's not working. Get a refund, fatty. I just paid $88. And in New York, I paid $1, fatty. I just paid $88.

Starting point is 00:33:46 And in New York, I paid $1,300. What the hell is going on? To support sustainable food production, BHP is building one of the world's largest hot ash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced. It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company. So check this out. Let me read this to you. President Trump shared a neurotic and very, very, very top guy businessman friend, prescribed a highly neurotic businessman, very seriously

Starting point is 00:34:18 overweight, $88 and it's $1,300. Trump signed an executive order. If you want to pull up the tweet when he writes this, Brandon, I don't know if you have it or not. If you have it, just pull it up. Sign an executive order to lower US drug prices, requiring federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid to pay rates matching other developed countries, claiming our country has the highest drug prices

Starting point is 00:34:44 anywhere in the world by sometimes a factor of five, six, seven, and even eight times. And that pharmaceutical companies make more than two-thirds of their profits in America despite U.S. having only 4% of the world population. Adam thoughts. Adam Felsen Well, listen, Trump is the Don Rickles of presidents like his his ability to make Abject sort of high-level Abstract ideas relatable is in second to none so in comedy Vinnie you would know this the term he's using is called personification when you personify something or some concept or some person it boosts people's imagination and it simplifies complex ideas and it

Starting point is 00:35:31 Enhances the emotional impact. So rather than talking about drug prices is like let me tell you about my fat Amazing brilliant sloppy smart gross amazing gross friend incredibly wealthy What a guy what a loser loser, what a guy, the biggest loser. You know who did this better than anybody was Dave Chappelle. Do you remember on the Dave Chappelle show he would personify and humanize drugs and STDs. He's like, hey, what's going on? Syphilis, man, I'm just out here burning people up. So hey, what's up, herpes? Hey, I'm hanging out. So you turn these people into characters. Trump made drug prices funny and relatable.

Starting point is 00:36:10 Remember the skit when Dave Chappelle talked about his white friend? He's like, yeah, you gotta watch out for these white guys hanging out with all these black gangs, you never know what those white guys did. They're in this people's respect. Adam, what do you think about the story? Here's the point.

Starting point is 00:36:21 I don't wanna tell me the history of comedians and what they said. No, no, no, Pat. Let me get to my point. Please do. The point is we would not be talking about this if he didn't use personification about his fat friend. You don't think so? We would not be talking, it would not be a main story. We would maybe glance over it a little bit. The fact that he talked about his fat friend and personified this and he let me tell you about my fat sloppy fact that the point is eighty eight Jesus pack and I'm trying to get there minutes you're telling us how much comedy you watch 20 seconds tell us about

Starting point is 00:36:55 listen story okay what do you think about the actual still go back to the tweet let me read this while you're giving me a historian for us of comedy so Donald Trump here we go for many years the world has wondered why prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals in the US were so much higher in price than they were in other nations, sometimes being five to ten times more expensive than the same drug manufacturing the exact same laboratory or planned by the same company. It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because in fact there was no correct or rightful answer. The pharmaceutical drug companies would say for years that it was research and development costs and that all of these costs were and would be for no reason whatsoever borne by

Starting point is 00:37:32 the suckers of America alone. Campaign contributions can do wonders, but not with me and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. By the way, this is something that Bernie Sanders would always talk about, but this guy is getting done. Tom, your thoughts on this story. Can I finish my point? I'm going to come back to you.

Starting point is 00:37:54 Tom, your thoughts on this story. Well, I've never had syphilis, but I enjoy comedy. But now I will quickly get to the drug prices. Now here's what's going on. That's bad comedy right there. Watch this, watch this. I didn't even get it. Vinny, Vinny, watch this.

Starting point is 00:38:08 Nothing with numbers, Tom. Nothing. It's been two minutes. Can we get to the point? These drug prices are just like student loans. Why do universities keep raising up tuition? Because someone else is paying for it. Of course.

Starting point is 00:38:18 The student loan pays for it because they get the student loan. Student loan pays high-priced tuition and then they're stuck with the price. Guess what? The reason drug companies were able to do this in America is because most people had health insurance through their employer. A lot of people did, and that is a hidden cost nobody ever sees. So you could raise up the prices, and then how do the consumers see it? They don't blame the drug companies.

Starting point is 00:38:41 They say, Vinny, did you see we have to pay another 15% for our share of the health insurance? I can't believe that tax in a hidden tax on the back hidden tax That's exactly the way to put it. So what he's doing. Thank you for making us smarter Tom Thank you but can you tell us three examples of comedy and on how to like spin it and bring it back because I Need a little bit more history Tom. I I'm not gonna go history, Tom. I'm not going to go. I'm not going to stand up, but I'm going to say this.

Starting point is 00:39:05 Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm going to take it really, really, really quick here. And there's also a thing in contract law called most favored nation. Meaning if all of us had agreements to work as union workers and our contract said we have a most favored nation. So if Vinnie gets a raise to $16 an hour from 15 and we all have the same number of years experience as Vinny, we get $16 an hour. That's called most favored nations. What Trump is saying is drug companies are selling things all

Starting point is 00:39:34 over the world. I want most favored nation for the US. So if you're selling it lower in Germany, that's the price I want the US consumer to get and that's the executive order he signed. He's not trying to arbitrarily drop the prices and do wage and price controls. He's saying to them, Vinny, if you're selling aspirin for $2 in Germany, you got to sell it for $2 here. He's not selling them what price to sell it at. He's saying, you apparently think it's perfectly fine.

Starting point is 00:40:01 You know what the problem is though? The problem is the patent laws that we have in the big pharma industry. It's ridiculous and what the lawyers do with it. Brandon, can you go to the clip that you have with the RFK? No, it's not. It's 59 seconds. No, this one is short. The longer one, it was such an amazing freaking speech he gave in there and then he gives him credit here and it was fantastic. Is it the credit or is it given? Because I've seen the credit part. No, no. I think this is talking about Elizabeth Warren and all of them. Is it just the credit or is he giving it because I've seen the credit part. No, I think this is talking about Elizabeth Warren and all of them. Is he saying anything about the actual... He's calling out Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Go ahead and play the clip.

Starting point is 00:40:32 But he can't be bought unlike most of the politicians in this country and he is standing here for the American people. I don't know what you know there's there's writers like Lord Elizabeth Warren or Robert Reich who are saying that President Trump is on this side of the oligarchs. There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump.

Starting point is 00:41:01 And I'm very, very proud of you, Mr. President, for your courage, for, I'm very, very proud of you, Mr. President, for your courage. I'll say, because I don't want to be crude, your intestinal fortitude, your stiff spine, and your willingness to stand up for the American people. We have 4.2 percent of the world's population. Our country represents 75 percent of the revenues for pharmaceutical companies 75 we spend in our country 11 hours that's insane I mean so I'm gonna come back to you sure so where I was going with the whole

Starting point is 00:41:36 personification thing is this is what makes Trump unique is Trump the first president to bring up how big of a mess our drug system is or our health care or six hair kicks sick care system is? Is he? No, no. Bernie's been talking about Elizabeth Warren's been talking about it. Obama's been talking about Obamacare drug prices. Biden talked about it.

Starting point is 00:41:56 But the point is, Trump is able to tell stories that you're able to gravitate towards and understand my stupid fat beautiful friend that's memorable and he's able to move the needle because he's such a marketer. So what's the point is that he's doing things that other people have talked about but he's doing them. So we talk about free markets in the United States. I just came back to say the same thing. The healthcare and the drug care situation in the United States, we don't have free markets in the drug situation and in the United States, we don't have free markets in the drug situation and in the healthcare.

Starting point is 00:42:28 We pride ourselves on free markets, but we don't have them within our system. There's a lack of competition. You talked about the patent system. I remember when you were talking with Vivek on stage about, because he, wasn't he a biotech guy? Didn't he have a medical company that he understood this concept, Pat? Vivek? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:42:49 Did he not? So, he talked about the exclusivity and what companies were able to do and how you're not allowed to introduce generic alternatives into the marketplace. So there's a lot of mess that's been going on that they've been trying to fix forever, but because of Trump's ability to move the needle they're able to do that. But Adam you mentioned Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, all these people, all of these guys are bought and paid for by pharma. Trump doesn't need any of them he's not bought by any of them so they all talk the talk. This is walking the walk. This is

Starting point is 00:43:21 actually doing it and putting his money where his mouth is and this is a great freaking- Can I tell you something again is and this is a great freaking- Can I tell you something again? For me, this is great. That's amazing. But it's another quick fix. What we need to do is change the patent laws of Big Pharma. Can he do that? Yes, of course. Because the same way they extended it by lobbyists, you can shorten it. All they need to do is shorten the lifespan of you should have a patent, you should have a run

Starting point is 00:43:44 rate, you should have some years where you have ahead of everything else. Pharmaceutical patents granted 20 years from the filing date, providing exclusive rights to manufacture, use, and sell a drug for that period. This exclusivity incentivizes innovation but can also lead to higher drug prices. Beyond the 20-year patent, regulatory exclusives like orphan drug exclusive can further extend market protection. So not only do they do a 20-year, and then there is now a way to extend it for another 18 years, another 20 years.

Starting point is 00:44:12 So then guess what? They can sell a drug that costs them $2 or 45 cents or $3 or $1.20. They can sell it for $800. They can sell it for $190. They can do that. And then the moment the patent expires, have you seen what happens to the prices when the path expires? I don't sense it drops in ways that nobody even can Understand so for me it would be great for Bobby to work closely with the president to get

Starting point is 00:44:38 Working on the patent laws that big pharma has if you reduce it To ten years to eight years to 7 years, you know what that will do? It will dramatically drop the prices of health insurance. So what are we paying right now for health insurance? Tom, if we reduce, let's just kind of spitball here. What happens if we reduce patent law from what it is 20 years to seven years, how much do you think it will reduce costs? Brandon, Tom, what do you think? I think it would immediately reduce monthly health insurance premiums for Americans by

Starting point is 00:45:15 15% and over time probably a third. And I say that because you know what the drugs do. And I've gone through things with my daughters who needed particular drugs when they were very, very, very young because of some anomalies. And thank god they're both really helpful. But also, here's something else that happens. If you, every 10 years, expire the patent, what happens

Starting point is 00:45:40 is I got to run faster cadence. So maybe that's more medical research and more projects, more projects, faster that helps good drugs get invented that help a lot of other things. Number one. And also it's not just that the price will go down for the average consumer on their health insurance, it will also go down for the federal government on Medicare. Because what is Medicare Part D? It's a special insurance you get D stands for drugs It's for if you're if you have a condition you have a thyroid condition somebody take a special medication. That's more expensive It's not covered under fully under Medicare and they even lobby to make it so that they can't prescribe you the generics

Starting point is 00:46:20 So they're in they're in the knickers of Medicare like that And so now you would also make it so that maybe elderly people in Medicare, the US tax dollars would go farther so they could get the thyroid drugs and things that they need. And they wouldn't be reaching into their pocket for Medicare part D.

Starting point is 00:46:35 I love that, Tom. What a great breakdown. Thank you for doing that. Brandon, what would you add to that? Yeah, so you know one of the most unfortunate things about this is that it incentivizes bad behavior. So I worked at a big pharma company. I did global security there for a couple of years.

Starting point is 00:46:46 And you know what most resources went into? Lobbying DC and trying to extend their patent. So they had this one drug that made them a multi-billion dollar company. And every last bit of effort and energy went towards just tweaking that drug a little bit so they could extend the patent. And everybody was freaked out. That was their number one concern is extending the patent so that they couldn't change their $100,000 drug per treatment to like her treatment yeah so this is a rare disease drug

Starting point is 00:47:12 that was $100,000 per treatment would have been you know pennies in the dollar if it lost the patent problem but they you know so they're not putting their energy towards the right things and by the way you know who knows this you know who knows this issue? Bobby Kennedy.'s what that's I was gonna ask you Do you think he's okay and I get the quick fix do you think he's actually thinking this big Bobby Bobby? Or sure he knows okay How long with something like that if he starts right now bro, let me take with the resistance of freaking big pharma Let me tell you what that's like. You ready?

Starting point is 00:47:42 What happened the more the more the trade talks got tougher and tougher and tougher for China? All of a sudden, so what happened with Pakistan, India with tensions and all of a sudden, people are worried, what are they capable of doing? If in America you attack one industry, whether you prevent them from advertising on TV, or you prevent them from having a 20-year monopoly with these patent laws, you're gonna see gangsters in ways you've never seen before.

Starting point is 00:48:15 I agree, I agree. And that's the Big Pharma gangsters. That's them. Those guys are not the types of gangsters you think and you see in movies. Name the biggest gangsters, the Al Capones have nothing on Big Pharma's gangsters. Nothing, they have nothing on their lobbyists, nothing.

Starting point is 00:48:32 The access to power that they have to be able to destroy your life is unbelievable. But to me, I think if you truly care about the future of America and taxes and all this other stuff, co-address the real issue. Do you know how big of an industry cancer is every year? 200 billion. Who makes that 200 billion?

Starting point is 00:48:53 What happens if you cure cancer and you come up with something? That 200 billion is gone. There's a lot of what happens if you eliminate war? What happens to those industries? Hundreds of billions of dollars is gone. So to me, fix the patent in every possible way, things will be positively impacted.

Starting point is 00:49:09 I'm moving on to the next story. I'm moving on to the next story. All right, so James Carvalho, a Democratic representative of Call Out Ilhan Omar, says party needs to praise greatness of US. What does that mean? What does that mean that we need to praise US? Brandon, do you have the clip on that? Yes, I do if you can play that clip

Starting point is 00:49:27 Go for it. Here's car. Why don't you just get out to Democratic Party? Honestly? Start your own movie talking about all right. Let's do the simple math and probably 69% down I would call Jim Gerstein a Jeff Garrett Roughly 69% of people in a vote in November maybe more Let's do 70 for for just round mayor, are going to be white. Of that 48%, maybe a little more are going to be male. So that's roughly, let's just call it 33 and a third percent of the entire election.

Starting point is 00:49:57 Well, let's just run against them because that's so goddamn smart. All right. So now we're going to have a campaign by the progressive left against white men Who vote about a third of everybody that votes in an election? Why don't you lady start your own party and then when it's over you for you want to caucus with the Democrats? Fine, we agree with a lot of things that you do But we don't believe we ought to be running against white men In fact, we don't think we ought to be running against any gender any ethnic group any race any religion or anything else

Starting point is 00:50:32 Goddamn these people are just helpless. They cannot be helped. There's nothing you can do to help them They don't want to be helped and if they had any guts that start their own goddamn political party and get out of ours. Okay, so that's that. By the way, pause it and go back to what Jasmine, Jasmine Crockett said. Did she say to who said it, that we need a something something white man? Is that who said it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, people within the party, within the primary system will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost so far. And I think that that's a natural fear because we just want to win. So there's a lot of people that are like, you know what, like, let's go find the safest white boy we can find.

Starting point is 00:51:21 I mean, I'm just saying. Those are the callers that we're hearing. We're hearing people. No, for real. A white man's got to do it. No, no, no, no. For real. And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate. I had a donor on the phones with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. So I can tell, and I can tell you, it's not a black person nor woman, okay? So like, it is, they have, quote unquote, they have chosen, and when I say that-

Starting point is 00:51:47 All right, so- Oh, keep putting her in front of the camera, please. Two things, Carville, your thoughts on that, Tom, and then we'll go to Crockett, go ahead. Okay, here's what I think is happening. Trust them when they say, because trust that they're telling the truth. James Carville is saying,

Starting point is 00:52:03 we need to praise the greatness of USA even though the core globalist socialist liberal Democrats do not believe that but he is telling him we have to do this if we want to win. Then listen to her the core of the party they have selected. Remember Pat's comments about arranged marriage? Listen between the lines she's admitting it right there. They have selected. They have selected. There's this one white boy that they're all getting comments about arranged marriage listen between the lines she's admitting it right there they have Selected they have selected. There's this one white boy that they're all getting behind I think it's JB Pritzker because Gavin Newsom is going to be just nuked on California left right and center by his own competitors in the party. You can't even run your own state

Starting point is 00:52:40 Don't tell me what's going on. Can you hear JB saying that? Yep. can you hear Shapiro saying that? So guess what he's gonna be battered and bruised he's not the guy I don't think Shapiro is the guy because there's something below the surface there is why Shapiro didn't get chosen. We know about something. Yeah we all about that there's something going on there so guess what I think it's JB Pritzker he's got the money he can self do it he's a he's he's got the unions he's from the Midwest, there's a lot of things going on. I think that's what she's talking about.

Starting point is 00:53:08 But this is not truth. They are running to a fake center. They are faking it to the center. You know the old thing from Clinton, it says you got to govern from the center? No, these people are trying to run from the center and then they're going to govern from the left, from the left socialists and they're going to go after all this stuff. And they're telling Ilan Omar, hey, calm down, step back, sit down, get out of sight. Why are they saying this?

Starting point is 00:53:33 Because they're trying to run from the center. But America, it is a fake center. These are the same globalists, the same socialists that are there. And what you're seeing right now is a few of them. And by the way, you know who else is real smart about this? Van Jones. You know who else is real smart about this? Bill Maher and you'll listen to those voice, stack them all side by side by side and tell me what you think you're hearing and they want Bernie and the freaks to go over and just hang loose, stay in the closet, and then you, not that closet,

Starting point is 00:54:07 you go stay in the other room, but when the party starts, we're going to be governing from the left and we're going to destroy everything they believe in, but we got to run to the right and stop right there in the center. When I say run to the right of where we are, stop in the center, but it's a fake center. And Tom, notice how she said, well, I mean, James Carver just sitting there, just old and white, and it's like, that's the problem with the Democratic Party.

Starting point is 00:54:31 That's who they have speaking for them. But beyond all of his bluster, he gave numbers that he's right about. Yeah, no, he's right about the numbers, but then when you go to her, she's talking about women and not women, look at the women that they're putting up. Hillary Clinton, who's a freaking criminal, let's not even get into her.

Starting point is 00:54:46 Kamala Harris, zero message, zero policy, has no idea what the hell she's doing. And then you have Jasmine Crockett, the most hood rat, ratchet ass, like that's gonna work. Like they didn't learn that that shit doesn't work. All right, Tom, and you're talking about faking it. At the end of the day, from the JB Pritzker's, yes, he has the money, and yes, he's doing that dog whistle

Starting point is 00:55:05 to call for people to get in the streets and basically write and cause this disruption. At the end of the day, guys, no matter who comes in, and I want nobody to be fooled, for the Democratic Party, every single thing that Trump is doing, they're gonna reverse. That needs to be every talking point of every debate is, are you going to open up the border?

Starting point is 00:55:24 Is that what you, because that's the main thing to me is that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna open the border, they're gonna reverse every trade deal, they're gonna dismantle everything and that's why we cannot let them win. And just then why are they doing it? Why? Trump's approval rating heading up to the right as soon as the sentiment of the market changes and the markets had everything we got all those things that China already talked about yeah but you see what's happening it's going up soon as things move a little bit his approval rating moves a lot a bit yes and this freaks them out and so they're like guess what this is what we have to do this

Starting point is 00:55:57 is what we're fighting this is just this morning so he just pulled up something Brandon can you go back to what you just pulled up vegas odds for28? Who's at the top new some? Yes So I saw a new some at number one surprisingly AOC number two and Pete Budicic three Wow So so type in more markets to see if any other names comes below it Josh Shapiro's for a little bit. Look at Stephen a. Smith. Yeah, he jumped up. Stephen A. Seven, Kamala is below Stephen A. Smith now. That is embarrassing. Gretchen Whitmer, Wes Moore, Andy Bashar, J.B. Pritzker, Tim Waltz, Mark Cuban, Michelle Obama,

Starting point is 00:56:37 Cory Booker, I think. Pat, can I ask you one question? You're a student and a teacher of sales, public speaking, and a lot of things. We have courses that we sell where you're teaching the world this. This is just the perceptions in the voting right now. Put JB Pritzker in the top eight of those people on stage,

Starting point is 00:56:56 and what do you think happens? I think he does well. I think he does well. I do too. And I think a bunch of these disappear. I think Gretchen Whitmer disappears. I think. I don't even know I think Gretchen Whitmer disappears. I think... I don't even know why Kamala's on that list. I can't believe that.

Starting point is 00:57:08 I think Mayor Pete disappears. Kamala isn't even gonna be on the stage. You're not gonna let it happen. You think AOC will be on the stage? I think, well, I think AOC, if AOC is on the stage, if she's being allowed to be on the stage, if she's non-volatile enough to be a VP candidate. If she's non-volatile enough to be a VP candidate. If she's not volatile enough to be a VP candidate, she's non

Starting point is 00:57:27 volatile enough. Like she gets up on stage and says whack, then I think what will happen is I'll pull her back. But I think she's maturing. I think she's maturing as a politician. I don't agree with her points. But I think she's maturing. I think she's moderating a little bit. I think she's being coached. But I think she's formidable. And I think she's maturing, I think she's moderating a little bit, I think she's being coached, but I think she's formidable and I think she would be there merely to raise her profile to the voter knowing that, look, she's only going to go three rounds in a sing and then these other people are going to...

Starting point is 00:57:55 Adam, thoughts? So it's so obvious to me that the Democratic Party as an establishment is moving on from straight white men. We don't need you, we don't want you, we ain't here for you anymore. Is there any more clear of an example of James Carville fighting with one of the new faces of the progressive left Ilhan Omar who's loudly and proudly saying out loud in America that white men are the problem. Threats, extremists. Yeah, so you know it's so amazing to me that in America that white men are the problem. Threat, extremists.

Starting point is 00:58:25 Yeah. So, you know, it's so amazing to me that in America, Ilan Homar can online and in real life criticize the president United States, but in Somalia, where she's from, if she said little boat peep about whoever the leader of the piracy of Somalia is these days, she'd be goners. So she's out there singing about abortion and women's rights. They don't do that in Somalia. No. So it's don't act what don't do it as I don't do as I say I do as I do.

Starting point is 00:58:58 She doesn't live this type of life, but she's using it to indoctrinate her people. You know what they call the city that she runs in Minneapolis Little Mogadishu just like in Miami. We have little Havana Or a little Chinatown in San Francisco little Mogadishu and watch out for what's going on there now pat You said you one of your words that you were talking about for this year was signal versus noise In my opinion, this is just a whole is noise. In my opinion, this is just a whole bunch of noise because these women, these loud yappy women in the Democratic Party and also in the Republican Party have what I would call no power. So AOC probably has the most power. She's a representative. Let's set her aside. Ilhan Omar, she's just a loud woman. Jasmine Crockett, a loud ghetto woman. Rashida Tlaib, a loud terrorist woman.

Starting point is 00:59:48 So they don't have power. What do you mean, terrorist woman? She's a Palestinian Hamas supporter, straight up. They're not pro-America. Like how many times do we need to see them encourage people to basically burn down the flags? By the way, in terms of hierarchical order, by the way I could say the same thing for Marjorie Taylor Greene or

Starting point is 01:00:08 Lauren Boebert, how about I'll just make a lot of noise, but at least you know they love America. So you know in a hierarchy of who has the most power, it goes representative, mayor, senator, governor, president of the United States in no particular order other than that. I don't know if I put any mayor, it's President of the United States in no particular order other than that. I don't know if I put any mayor, it's mayor of a big city I would say. Okay, but the point is, a mayor of a big city has more power than any of these loud, yappy women.

Starting point is 01:00:36 With the exception of maybe AOC. Here's David Hogg on Bill Maher, go ahead. Now what I think happened last election is younger men, they would rather vote for somebody who feels, even if they don't completely agree with, they don't feel judged by it, than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because they're going to be judged or ostracized or excommunicated. And what's interesting about this moment is it feels like the two parties in some senses have flipped where, you know, Republicans used to be the judgmental assholes in many

Starting point is 01:01:04 ways. And since many Democrats, despite us, I would say for most of us coming from the right place of wanting to do the right thing, we've created a culture where we say, well, if you say the wrong thing, you're excommunicated. And that's just not how human beings work. Nobody is perfect. But ultimately, what we have to do here is figure out how to bring people back in and work towards the bigger goal of advancing the future of this country and helping young people especially get by so that they're able to focus on their lives and getting with a young woman or something like that

Starting point is 01:01:32 instead of how are they gonna pay their rent, for example, or how are they working their two jobs. Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun. Rather than... David Haag for president, ladies and gentlemen. Half the Democratic Party, buddy.

Starting point is 01:01:50 So, by the way, fully agree with the guy. Makes a lot of sense. You know, he's... You know where he's from, by the way. He's from 15 minutes away in Parkland. So, he was, I think, recently voted in as co-chair of the DNC. Vice. Vice. But now now he's speaking

Starting point is 01:02:06 what I would call common sense and I literally think he's trying to be removed right now they're trying to remove they're trying to remove who they them are trying to remove them they them exactly so when you think of cancel culture and you think of identity politics he basically just called out the party that is that is essentially the the reason that the party is losing, and they canceled him. Is that an actual true story? That they're removing him?

Starting point is 01:02:30 Well, on Monday, the credentials committee of the DNC voted 13-2 to void the election results of February in which Hogg and Pennsylvania state rep Malcolm Kenyatta Dee were elected to serve as co-vice chair of the DNC, according to the New York Times. The vote comes as Hogg is reportedly planning to spend up to $20 million to fund primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats. They're going to eat their own bro. This party is so freaking lost and David Hogg, I mean, where did he come from? What do you mean where did he come from? No, I mean, like he hasn't had no political background. He was just, he was at the Parkland

Starting point is 01:03:02 shooting. He was a survivor. God bless him. But then he went to Harvard. He survived. I think he became president of the Senate. Yeah, he became president. And he's one of the guys that wants to take everybody's guns away from him. You should Google the amount of crazy, no, no, Adam, it's a fact. The amount of stuff that he said about us and having guns and stuff, he ain't the truth. And they're going to, he has no chance. I'm just going to put myself in the shoes for a second. Just for a second. If I saw, you know, a couple dozen of my classmates died in front of me I'd probably have some strong feelings about guns. Yeah and take him away from everybody. That's not what I'm saying That's his attitude. I'd like to see some quotes from him

Starting point is 01:03:33 I'm assuming he has a pretty strong position on it because his roommate in class and his classmates got killed So that would probably wake you up just a little bit. Now I'm not advocating for taking away all guns. I'm not even sure if that's his position. But I understand why he would feel that way. Do you not? No, I understand. But what qualifications does that have to do to run a party, run a whole democratic national? But no, you talked about his thoughts on 2A. Don't you think if you have a couple dozen of your friends die that might in front of you might sway your opinion just a little?

Starting point is 01:04:08 That's fine with the swing, but for you to say Americans don't need any guns, let's just take all the guns, I have a problem with it. Show me that. Look, we've seen this movie before, separate what you guys are talking about. It was called The Tea Party. It was called The Tea Party. The Tea Party said we're going to primary some of the guys in our own party, in the Republican Party,

Starting point is 01:04:27 because we're upset with you. And we don't agree with you on this and this and this. And the Tea Party was born. What he just said, you could just change that and take that back 20 years and put another face on it. And that's what the Tea Party sounded like. This is not what we want. This is not the party we envision. This is not we're doing and we're gonna primary them

Starting point is 01:04:47 And guess what the tea party people got ostracized on the outside too. Well now the Dems are saying hang on We can't have this guy taking money and primarying some of our favorite players No, that's not the way you do it. And that's what's happening here. Well, Tom very good point The only sort of counterbalance I would say to that the Tea Party had conviction. I think they came to power over the national debt and our budgets and our deficits. I completely agree with the principles of it, but I'm saying it's the same situation where people upsetting the establishment got your... The difference is this, is that what does the Democratic Party stand for at this point?

Starting point is 01:05:27 I used to vote Democrat. I look at them. I'm like, what are you doing for someone like me a normal straight white guy? Like they're kicking people like us out of the party and we're looking at the party now being like what that? What are the who are these people the deep the tea party at least had conviction they wanted fiscal conservatism Tell me what the Democratic Party especially the progressive left stand for I agree that a hundred just basically TDS and hating on trial Adam he wants to say you're gonna if you say you're gonna primary the establishment This is what happened Adam David Hawke once tweeted you have no right to a gun. You are not a militia You have no right to a gun as an American. Did he tweet that? I don't it's out there. could Google it. It's out there. I'm not lying to you. It's ChadGBT founded too. Okay.

Starting point is 01:06:10 He has no chance. They're gonna eat him alive. He has no chance. Sorry. He's gone. The story just came out today about him. PVD, do you have any strong feelings on David Hogan? What's going on here with this guy? No, I'm just watching these guys try to find each other. Try to find out what they're gonna be doing and they're contradicting each other They're going into different factions and they're creating that they are so lost right now It's not even funny for me. It was easy The best thing you said is what do you stand for?

Starting point is 01:06:38 Tell me what you stand for not what you're against, but what do you stand for? I don't even know what they stand for I've asked the question so many times. What but what you stand for. I don't even know what they stand for. I've asked the question so many times What is it you stand for? We've always been the less judgmental party now with a more judgmental party That was actually very good analysis on what he how he broke it down Because you know republicans were christians that were judgmental you can't do this. Yep, you can't do that So now it's like the other way around walking on eggshells with the democratic party. Yeah, I get it. Okay next one here So a story goes out about Emmanuel Macron

Starting point is 01:07:08 hiding a cocaine pouch in viral video. French media calls claims absurd conspiracies. This is Times of India explaining this. Now this pouch on a train to Ukraine sparked social media of cocaine use fueled by Russian Foreign Minister spokesperson Maria Zakharova, who suggested on Telegram that Macron German Chancellor Frederick Mertz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had used cocaine and

Starting point is 01:07:36 failed to remove the paraphernalia before journalists arrived. Zakharova also claimed Ukrainian President Zelensky an unstable cocaine addict, claiming a Western diplomat said drug use amongst European leaders was normal, the leaders were traveling from Poland to Kiev for high-level meetings, French media outlet Liberation dismissed the claims as absurd conspiracy, stating that the mystery's bags of white powder is actually a handkerchief rolled into a ball that was placed on the table before Keir Staramar arrived and the cameras entered the booth. The object near Mertz called a cocaine spoon online was likely a steerer or a toothpick,

Starting point is 01:08:19 which the German Chancellor is said to have been fiddling with. Okay, so now let's watch the video, Rob, Brandon, and let's see what we see. Go ahead, Brandon. So look, that's the bag right next to the cup of water. It could be tissue. Zoom in a little bit, Brandon. Can you? I don't think I can.

Starting point is 01:08:50 Yeah, you can. Watch what happens. Whoa, hey! Awful concern about that tissue. And look how he switches it, like a perfect running bag. Look at this, from one hand to the other, boom. And it's going in the bag. And going into the pocket of the sweater.

Starting point is 01:09:07 Boy, there's high level meetings. And there's getting high level meetings. Can you go to the, do you have the picture of the other one as well, Brandon, or no? The montage? Not the montage. I said, Brandon, I slacked a Rob a couple things of what it might be.

Starting point is 01:09:22 There's another clip showing, there's another clip showing what that thing could have been. Okay, Tom, for you, you're pretty, that's funny, that's a spoof right there. Tom, your thoughts on this, you're reasonable, what do you think this was? I look at it and I think where there's smoke, there's fire. And you can read quite a bit about Zelensky and a lot of tabloids and a lot of people talking about that apparently. So they say he uses coke and really enjoys it. So was Zelensky at this meeting?

Starting point is 01:09:56 They're going to Ukraine to meet him. Where are they in this on the train? They're on this train traveling. And also, you know, these are a bunch of baby boomers that are now leading countries. And I'd just like to point out that the baby boomers partied. And so you hear a lot about this in both, and I'll tell ya. And so I have a hard time.

Starting point is 01:10:17 Look, the speed. What is that? Those are little Tutski spoons, Pat. Oh wow. And mind you, there's no lime in his drink. What are you stirring? It's a cup of water. There's no stirring, okay? And you guys have to get to like, guys, you have to listen from people that have done cocaine and know the mannerisms of cocaine. So go ahead, Vinny.

Starting point is 01:10:36 Thank you, Adam. Hey, Mr. Miami, I'm pretty sure you know this. I've done it at your house. Listen. What? I'm messing it up. It's not like he stopped and did a quick freeze here. He's just, you're coming in there. Yeah. So is that what they're saying that this is what they're saying? I mean, if you guys think about it, the mannerism of doing it meant of doing that type of stuff.

Starting point is 01:10:55 That's a coaxing. It's a little struggle. And then Brandon, I sent you stuff. I sent you a clip and you said this about Zalinsky. There's rumors. Everybody's saying that Zalinsky is on blow. I sent you the, uh, Zelinsky there's rumors everybody saying that Zelinsky is on blow I sent you the Yes, keep going keep going look at these manners right here. That's what yeah Don't even do it. I won't even need the volume for anybody out there in the audience that's ever partied. What kind of look at this guy Yeah, I fixed that little Tutski the little Tutski there That's what that that mannerism and then Brent I sent you a photo of him. Is that what you call it? A Tutski? It's a Tutski, a little bump. And then I go to his pants backwards. This guy is a mess. This guy's a mess. I just sent you

Starting point is 01:11:31 another photo of Zelinsky doing, where was it? Keep going Brandon. So go go go go go go go. Right there. This is this meeting. His pants are on backwards. You know who does that? People that are doing cocaine. Zoom in. That's his pants are backwards Pat. No he was listening to Chris Cross. No that was this that's his pants are backwards. Just because you do drugs doesn't mean you like it. How do you put it on backwards? Because when you're on cocaine you're just like you're geeking out. No Vinny stop it maybe that's like the style of like some kind of a new Balenciaga pants backwards. No, but and here's my thing that that attitude of get rid of it and that's rather that straws for like we Have club soda that's for limes and stuff when they stab the fruit. There was no fruit It's water if I had to what do you think it was?

Starting point is 01:12:18 I think they were partying which is for you on a train ride good for them They got to talk about politics and Russia and shit let them let them party They were on a train to going to meet uh the cocaine cowboy now Okay, my thing is this though since any just and in general just on a broader scope I think all the leaders every year not only need to take a drug test number one number two Especially with a Joe Biden situation, a live streamed cognitive test from a non-biased civilian doctor and we all get to watch it live. Anybody in Congress, anybody in government. You think it was, you think it

Starting point is 01:12:55 was drugs? I think it was drugs because if you look at the way they're moving their hands, why did he so quickly grab the tissue then switch hands with the tissue, put the tissue in a pocket? What do you think it's like he looked pretty concerned about a wadded up tissue Brandon? Yeah, no, I think so Just his body language. He seems like he really wanted to hide it So if Hunter Biden and Zelinski were at this meeting, oh, they're definitely doing propane no doubt But you're telling me that these three old white dudes Yeah on a train. Are you trying to party?

Starting point is 01:13:31 You're in your tootsie thing You've had a lot of experience you've never done drugs. Come on Shutting up I'm asking a question. Let me just finish my point. I'm trying to help you make a point. I don't need your help guy. I think I need your help when it comes to partying. No, you need more help than you realize my little cherub. Go ahead. Help me out. Tom says party animal. What, what in the villages and other retirement communities in Florida, that's where you're going with this? What is like the number one health problem? STDs. Yes.

Starting point is 01:14:08 They're partying. So guess what? They're retired. This is their younger brothers and sisters in their 60s. They grew up at a time of partying and they're still partying because now they're enabled by power and money that's all around them. Tom, thank you for your help on that. Why is it so surprising?

Starting point is 01:14:23 You just gave some ideas to drug dealers. Yes. And you don't think- Retirement homes. I don't question it. You don't think McCrone and Brigitte are doing bonds? They might be doing all of the things. Come on.

Starting point is 01:14:34 Maybe give you an AARP discount. As much as I hang out in Miami, this isn't my thing. Your Tutski thing, I've never even heard of before. Tom is doing drugs in retirement communities. I'll tell you a funny story that I got told me Keep it straight Adam get your point Your retirement communities calling you gotta get home soon. Listen to me. There's a guy Do you like the party? No, that's not my thing. He goes you're coming Tom shut it

Starting point is 01:15:03 He goes age you like the party and I go now that's not my thing. He goes, Hey, do you like the party? And I go, no, that's not my thing. He goes, no, no, man. Me either, bro. I don't do cocaine. I just like to smell keys in bathroom stalls. So I don't think these guys are doing cocaine. That's not their thing. If Hunter Biden was there, I thought a key was there, I would have other things. I don't think that's what they're doing. PBD, what do you think is going on here? You think they're actually just blowing lines? They're more likely to blow each other.

Starting point is 01:15:33 They didn't know the camera crew was going to come in there. They were kind of like, hey! It might have just been Tishon. Well, you know, we are talking about Macron, so that last point maybe... I don't know. Listen, here's all I'll tell you. I even posted about this, and I said, you know, I'm sure that's just cretin or collagen or something But the way he reacted and by the way, isn't there is the video of macron dancing is that real I had to defend you recently. You had to what?

Starting point is 01:16:08 I had to defend you. They go, I've noticed that when PBD talks, some guy said to me, he goes, he's always like touching his nose. Is he doing drugs? I go, if there's anything PBD is not doing, it's drinking drugs, smoking, maybe a cigar. Have you noticed that sometimes

Starting point is 01:16:22 you'll touch your nose when you speak? Yeah. Have you noticed this? Yeah. So the guy's guys like yeah, I think you people he's doing drugs I go listen if he wanted to do drugs with his nose He could probably take down a whole situation hide a lot you got a lot He ain't smelling keys and back don't want me doing Red Bull, coffee, anything like that, no.

Starting point is 01:16:47 If you smoke a joint, maybe we could film that. Oh, that would be good. If I did, that podcast would be so legit. And you know we would shoot one and never go live with it. Oh, like instead of your vitamins, Jen or somebody's egg like. But you have to make sure the guys

Starting point is 01:17:02 in the back who are the camera guys, you have to trust them because they're gonna be like We're going to save forever. They're gonna like I have the clip 22 years from now look for millions. I like number one. Yeah, okay. All right, so let's continue By the way for some of you guys, you know live in California. We always like to bring good news to you guys It's like one of the things we're fully committed to our friends there Eight dollar gas fine new study reveals it may come to blue state next year, triggering bipartisan concern. But when you're that loyal to the state of California, are you kidding?

Starting point is 01:17:34 You want to be the first to hit the $8 gas and brag about it and tweet about it? It's a competition. So University of Southern California Professor Michael Mishy studied predicted California gas could hit $8.43 in 2025 due to closure of Phillip 66 Los Angeles and Valero Benicia refineries warning any disruptions to oil and foreign gasoline supply will exasperate California's gasoline dilemma and drive up prices impacting California, Nevada and Arizona. Per Monday analysis reported by Fox News, Democratic Governor Newsom's press office called the study unsourced but posted on X that the governor

Starting point is 01:18:10 directed the state to redouble efforts to work with refineries to ensure a safe and affordable and reliable supply of gasoline, while former LA Mayor Antonio Villegrosa, a Democrat, responded, if we continue to drive refineries out of California, gas prices will soar and disproportionately affect those who can least afford it. What a weird thing to say. All these guys are becoming conservatives and capitalists all of a sudden, urging balanced climate policies.

Starting point is 01:18:39 Tom, your thoughts. Well, I'm scared to say this, but I actually agree with Antonio Villarosa. He is correct. He was also mayor of Los Angeles for a time and he's pointing out if you drive the refineries out there goes the supply, the price is going up. What I love about the governor's office is this guy from the university of Southern California says something and rather than ignoring it because it's nothing,

Starting point is 01:19:05 they say that study is unsourced and nothing. Really it seems to have got your attention on a Monday morning. What's up with that? He said, no, no, no, no, no, but we're calling on the state to redouble efforts to work with refineries. And that there's a typo there. It should say the few refineries that are left. States are a double efforts to work with a few of her fine reason left to ensure a reliable supply of gasoline

Starting point is 01:19:29 What this is guess what this is called? Consequence hits the headlines. That's what's happening here and The guy that chased them out through taxation and regulation Governor Newsom is now seeing people like University of Southern California professor Michael Amishi saying, hey man, guess what? The supply goes down, the price goes up and it's going to affect all these Californians, you idiot. And Mayor Villarosa says, you're right, and it's the people that can least afford it.

Starting point is 01:20:01 Because one of the things that that Mayor Antonio Antonio one of the things that he was correct about he was worried about Everyone wanted to recreate downtown LA with jobs And you know what he kept asking where the workers gonna live that they could actually get here in less than an hour in the morning You see that he was right. Everyone's moving out to Riverside. They're moving out to San Bernardino. They're moving out to Valencia They're moving out to Canyon Country. They're moving out to San Bernardino. They're moving out to Valencia. They're moving out to Canyon Country. They're moving out to Ventura County. Why? Because that's where they could find housing, save communities, slightly better schools.

Starting point is 01:20:35 And so he was right. And he's talking about the people that can least afford it are the people that are going to be commuting the most because they have to go out to find the affordable housing. And then when jobs are in central Los Angeles or in the more urban areas, they've got to do that. So this is, you know what this is? This is another reason why Gavin is this going to be a target, target, target, target

Starting point is 01:20:58 during the primaries. Because you know what I would do if I was running against him and I was Josh Shapiro, I would beat him with this story I would crush him with these things, but that's what's going on once again Gavin Newsom's a Vote for Gavin Newsom has consequences back to that chart that you had Brandon go back to the one that you had You want this wonder? I'm just tell me this one you want this one or that's that's a good one as well But let me see that one. That's Adam I'll let Adam talk about them and go to the other one that you had to keep that for Adam go to that

Starting point is 01:21:24 Yeah, go to that one check this one out me see that one. That's Adam. I'll let Adam talk about that. Go to the other one that you had so keep that for Adam. Go to that one. Check this one out. Look at this. Oh my god, Florida is so wide you can't even see it. That's the gas price. Look at California. Isn't it just beautiful though? By the way, some people who are from California who are conservatives will say, I told you California is a red state. Look at that. It's a red state. It's a red state. It's a red state is what it is. I live in a red state, man. But I'm telling you, like, you know, I go to church on Sundays and I do my best to be very, do my best to live a good life and live a, you know, as a good man. It's tough, you know, every day you make mistakes. But as much as I try to live a good life when I compare myself to the people who live in California who are that noble?

Starting point is 01:22:10 I you don't even hold a flame to that listen like let me tell you I think If I was to go out there and rally like be a political, you know community organizer You know what I would do. I would request anybody who currently lives in California and lived there from 2000, and you didn't leave after the COVID policies, you kept your kids in California from 2021, 22, 23, 24, 25. If you've lived in California during those five years, I would actually campaign to get all of those guys

Starting point is 01:22:42 to have a saint in front of their names. Don't you think? Like on the idea jet, St. Thomas. would actually campaign to get all of those guys to have a saint in front of their names. Don't you think? Like on the idea jet, St. Thomas, St. Thomas Ellsworth, St. Vincent O'Shaughn, St. Adam Sosnick, St. Brandon Aceto. I think they've earned the right to get the saint. Am I asking for too much? I mean, look, someone-

Starting point is 01:22:59 They're all very religious. They're a member of the same church, Our Lady of Perpetual Taxation. You have a new pope and you got, you know, I think they need to really consider it. And I think if Gavin did that, he can keep those people for another four years just at that little saint in front of it. St. Ricardo Aguilar, mi amigo. He loves that. So I'm going to tell you a funny story that you're going to appreciate.

Starting point is 01:23:20 And this involves our friend Mario, who I love to death. Shout out to you, Mario Aguilar. So California, I think has the top seven of the top 10 most expensive cities when it comes to gas prices. San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, LA, San Diego, Oakland, San Jose are the top seven most expensive cities to get gas in the United States. So rounds at the top 10. They'd have more cities on the list, but they ran out of cities. So California is the most expensive. So I'm with PBD and Mario driving from Vegas to LA. You remember this story. If you don't remember it, this was the story, the time where we spent three hours laughing about look at the view. When Mario was telling a story about when you guys first started PHP

Starting point is 01:24:13 and you guys, what are you looking at? Some, some, some, some, you know, it was a whole funny story. We'll go there. So I'm with Mario. You remember this. So shout out to Mario. What do you tell me? So we had a rental car. I think we drove from Vegas at like literally midnight. We got to LA took us a couple hours. Yeah. That the next day we had to go get gas. Mario and I, and he was taking me. I think I was going to go see somebody and I don't have a car in Miami, much less a rental car in LA. We went to go get gas. When I saw the price of the gas, I was like, what? 795. I remember the number. This is what gas cost in LA. We stayed, I think, at the Beverly Hilton or some fancy place or whatever. But I was so shocked at the price of gas. And I was like, the point of the story, the price of the gas. That's right Thank you, Tom. So the point is this I was 20 shell shot of the over-under

Starting point is 01:25:10 Tom you got to end this comedy career right now, buddy The the point is this you remember that story that we were with Mario Shocking on horror of the price of gas in LA. This is my first experience getting gas there with Mario. Well listen, one thing's for sure, the way the guy is breaking down on what can happen in California with gas prices, it makes you think. But if Newsome plays offense and changes it up, maybe it'll be $7.50 instead of $8. So look, to the people that are worried about it, he's gonna figure it out. You guys already have so much trust in him. It's gonna be fine, be patient. I say things are gonna get better if you guys wait

Starting point is 01:28:24 Limited time only at participating Wendy's Taxes Extra. Let's go to the next story. I'm just gonna go into that story. I don't think we're gonna get a better transition into that story, but let's do it now. So, all right, so inside Waltz's ouster, okay, before Signalgate talks with Israel angered Trump. All right, so let's go through this here. Let me read this story to you guys. President Trump ousted National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. This is WAPO, so you just know you know who's writing it.

Starting point is 01:28:56 A former Green Bay officer, due to frustrations over his hawkish stance, particularly after Waltz coordinated with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu on military options against Iran, with a source saying Waltz wanted to take U.S. policy in a direction Trump wasn't comfortable with because the U.S. hadn't attempted a diplomatic solution as inclusion of a journalist in a sensitive signal group chat, and Marz sealed his fate to Trump nominating Waltz as ambassador to the United Nations. The ouster influenced by White House Chief of Staff, Suzy Wals, view that waltz was not a good fit prompted some officials to question the need for a traditional national security council with one official stating, some of that just happens through the working process

Starting point is 01:29:37 as Trump prefers loyalists like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, his interim replacement who has shed traditionalist views to align with Trump's agenda. Vinny, I'm coming to you first. All right, guys. So I don't know, first of all, it's so wild that this story wasn't talked about longer than just the half a day that it was on. So basically, I'm going to break it down.

Starting point is 01:30:00 On May 3rd, Trump basically got rid of Mike Waltz, fired him. He was serving as national security advisor. And just to remind everybody, Mike Waltz is the same guy who accidentally added a journalist to the highly sensitive Signal Group chat, where top officials were discussing attack plans in Yemen. All right, he tried to claim, and he's on camera saying it, that the contact was sucked in, whatever the hell that means. That alone should have got him fired, but for some reason, Trump kept them around. Fast forward to May 1st on my birthday, I

Starting point is 01:30:26 remember this, he got caught using Signal Chat during a cabinet meeting. Brandon you have that photo that I have. Yeah but it wasn't just a regular app that we use and we use Signal when we leave the country, alright guys? It was something called TM Signal, an Israeli modified version with archiving features designed to relay and store potential classified info then May 3rd Washington Post reported that he was fired after engaging in intense coordination with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about military operations against Iran ahead of BB's Oval Office

Starting point is 01:31:00 meeting so basically okay Waltz was going behind Trump's back strategizing with a foreign head of state about striking Iran's nuclear sites. Trump found out about that, didn't seem... Is that confirmed? These are all confirmed. This is all Washington Post. This is a Washington Post article. What is that story with the text? Go back to the signal thing? What do they show with that picture? So they're showing that he's on TM Signal. He's on the Israeli app. It's going back and forth with Israel. This is an Israeli intelligence app. This isn't the signal that we use. This is going back and forth with Israel in the

Starting point is 01:31:37 meeting. This guy is a freaking moron. Just a complete moron. Like he didn't learn his lessons. Okay? And then the article even says, Pat, at the top, the view by some in the administration was that Waltz was trying to tip the scales in favor of military action and was operating hand in glove with the Israelis. And by the way, it doesn't get worse than that. Our national security advisor is sitting in a cabinet meeting going back and forth texting with a foreign government. Okay.

Starting point is 01:32:06 And then somebody, one of Trump's advisors said, you can't do that. This is in quotations and Brendan, it's in that article. You can't do that. You work for the president of your country, not a president of another country. Okay. If you think about that's kind of that's borderline treason, Pat. You can't work hand in glove with a foreign leader to push military action behind the president's back, okay? And then your punishment, instead of getting like in deep shit, guess what happens? He gets nominated,

Starting point is 01:32:31 he's not in yet, nominated to be the ambassador of the United Nations, which you'll probably get. And now there's reports out there that Trump has now cut off direct contact with Bibi Netanyahu, reports from Israeli Army radio and other outlets say Trump team told Israeli officials they believe Bibi was trying to manipulate him, especially when it came to Iran and Syria and Trump wasn't having it. Okay, and then just three days ago,

Starting point is 01:32:55 Trump dropped the requirements for Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel as part of the nuclear deal with the US, which means Trump basically said to Saudi Arabia, you don't need to be friends with Israel to make a deal with us. And that Trump basically said to Saudi Arabia you don't need to be friends with Israel to make a deal with us and that condition now is off the table. And it's kind of, if you think about it Pat, yes Israel is our ally but that type of sneaky going behind the door, Trump does not play that shit, he's all about peace, he's all

Starting point is 01:33:17 about diplomacy. You're in there using a different Israeli app to tell them what the hell is going on in a meeting and listen again I could criticize Israel as the government and it has nothing to do with Jewish people, but Bibi Netanyahu, how many times has he come to our Congress and said, we should strike these people, we should go to war here? When he said about Iraq, you know what he said about Iraq? He said, and I quote, I guarantee, I guarantee if we take out Saddam Hussein, it would have enormous positive reverberations around the region and it did it You doing that type of shit and try to get us into another war behind Trump's back

Starting point is 01:33:51 He found out he fired him and he's not happy with it. I think it's great. So this guy's Mike waltz like waltz his name keeps popping up here And if he did anything to jeopardize American security and American authority and the Trump presidency he should be fired But as I continue to remind you don't pay attention to what Trump says watch what he does So, you know you were saying that he should be fired. We should let go of this guy It's like well, he keeps being a part of the administration and he's just nominated for the United Nations so could it be that this is just smoke and not actual fire and people are

Starting point is 01:34:30 running with the story and just putting it out there and not having enough information? I don't know. This is not something that I want to take a strong stance on because I don't know Mike Waltz, I don't know this situation. A lot of hearsay here. But it's reported you're not in you didn't read it. I didn't believe everything the Washington Post says. No no no no no no. I'm just telling you from all the reports that I've heard the guy got in trouble for for leaking and putting somebody in the chat. Then he's on camera.

Starting point is 01:34:57 They took photos of him doing it. But he's not he continues to have a job. Adam I understand where your stance is coming from But I did the research and all the reporting is pointing at the guy was Communicating with Israel in a cabinet meeting to push for war with Iran. So that you can't do that And what's his position Mike? It was a national security. What so that's fine him. Okay, he's so is he fired What do you mean on him? He was communicating with Israel and Bibi Netanyahu. That's not good. To me, the country he's communicating with is almost secondary. It's not irrelevant, but it's secondary. You're an American.

Starting point is 01:35:32 You work for America. You work for the Trump administration. Your loyalty is to America. What are you doing? Whether you're talking to the UK, whether you're talking to South Korea, whether you're talking to Israel, whether you're talking to China or a foe, what are you doing? Make sure that you're abiding by Trump guidelines. That's my number one thing.

Starting point is 01:35:51 That's my number one thing. Did he go behind Trump's back? Or not? So it is on him. Okay, but of course, every country, no matter who they are, have their own self interest and will perpetuate their own ideology and goals. Yeah, pushing us into, hold on, Adam, I agree.

Starting point is 01:36:09 Whatever it is. I agree 1000%. So my point is, this is on, who's this on? I'm going to tell you right now. This is on Mike Walz. Okay, and Israel and Bibi Netanyahu, because if you're going to claim that you're our biggest ally, then what are we talking about? Trump, Trump is the most pro-Is pro Israel president pulls up in the chair respects

Starting point is 01:36:26 the hell out of them. But you're gonna go behind his back and try to push for a war. What did Trump say? Trump fired the guy was drawn say about Yahoo, what did he actually do? And all I hear is a lot of hearsay a lot of no Adam, there's just reports canceling, even Pete Hexeth was supposed to go to Israel. He canceled a trip, he's in Saudi Arabia right now. I'm just saying Adam, what I'm saying are facts, what he did was obviously wrong, but

Starting point is 01:36:51 if you're an ally, hold on. I don't know if what you're saying is facts, I think you're reading stories and you're reading into it, that's fine. Adam, this is called doing my homework and doing my research and I did it. I'm trying to see what, Adam, what are you trying to say? So what I'm trying to say is this is on- So you're saying if he screwed up it's on him? Yes. Okay, great.

Starting point is 01:37:06 Then what? You don't think every single prime minister, president, leader is trying to influence Trump in some way? Everyone is. You don't think she is sending his diplomats to try to influence Trump? You don't think Iran is sending their influence to try to influence Trump during their nuclear negotiations? It's the same for any country.

Starting point is 01:37:26 It is on the job of the administration, the person representing the United States, to hold the line and say, no, this is what Trump wants to do. He didn't do it, that's what he's saying. That's my point. Okay, now if I had a country I'd be worried about, it would not be Israel as an American. Why? Sure.

Starting point is 01:37:41 Well, because there's a country called Iran. That he's trying to push us to go to war with an Americans are going to die. That's what I don't like. So by the way, did you hear the story about this $400 million luxury airplane that Qatar has gifted Trump? Yeah. Okay. What do you know about Qatar? What do you know? Well, are we changing? Are we changing the topic? Because I'm still changing the the topic We're wrong, but you think it's okay for a national security advisor Okay, that's sworn into office sitting in there using a freaking Israeli Communication app going directly with another government already talked about this. So I do not think it's okay. This is

Starting point is 01:38:22 Different thought it's on Israel to moving on to a different thought. I'm moving on to a different thought in this regard. But you know what you're trying to you're trying to you're trying to you're trying to for a second you were trying to relate what do you know about Qatar? Let me give you this. Tell me where you're going with Qatar. Okay. So what I would want to understand is this is a pretty outrageous gift, a 400 million dollar luxury gift that Qatar is just giving. And by the the way if you say you don't know Tell me what you know about Qatar what they're doing in the world. Do you have any idea Adam? I'm still waiting just answer this specific always change

Starting point is 01:38:53 I'm not gonna give you the answer you go ahead and say it just tell me do you know anything about Qatar? Do you know anything? Yeah, it's a Middle Eastern country. Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. They're just a Middle Eastern country Qatar is quietly becoming a major power player in the Middle East. This $400 million luxury jet, by the way, if they gave it to Joe Biden, the right would be going insane, including you. What is this? So Qatar, what I know about Qatar is they're one of the richest petro states in the world. I think their GDP is one of the highest in the world, GDP per capita. They're funding terrorism and extremism and jihadism all around the world. And now all of a sudden, they're giving us a $400 million jet. They're

Starting point is 01:39:37 a double agent. And we'll get to what they're doing in our universities and our influencers. They're a double agent. They're basically saying, Hey, America, we're on your side. We're here funding terrorism, or fighting terrorism. And then they're secretly funding terrorism. And they're letting Hamas hang out in their luxury hotels in Doha. So it's lipstick on a pig. And I'm very concerned about this. Why would you accept it? He's saying, well, listen, if someone wants to give you a free putt, you know, you just take the putt. Mr. President, this ain't golf. This ain't Jack Nicklaus.

Starting point is 01:40:06 This ain't Arnold Palmer. This ain't Sam Snead. This is a terrorist state who's aligned with Iran and China to some regard, gifting you a $400 million plane. You don't have any concerns whatsoever. They're housing Hamas. They're supporting Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, ISIS. They're sowing discord all over the Middle East.

Starting point is 01:40:29 And by the way, don't take Adam's word for it. He's just some dumb Jew on the internet. Do you know whose word you should take for it? How about the following? The following countries that have severed all diplomatic ties from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt, because they've accused Qatar of supporting terrorism and destabilizing the Middle East. So this hidden agenda that Qatar has when they're funding universities and sowing discord and NGOs and think-tags and now paying influencers

Starting point is 01:40:59 to sow discord around the United States, I have massive concerns. So this lipstick on a pig with this $400 million gift is going to come at a price. You know, they say there's no such thing as a free lunch. Well, this is a free freaking plane. So if that doesn't have concerns, I don't know what does. So you think Trump is getting played? You think Trump is getting played? You think Trump is getting played? You don't think Trump is getting played? You're trying to tell me, if Qatar gave Biden a $400 million airplane, would you have any questions? No, I question everything, but you're talking about my... You're not questioning this. I'm just talking about reporting.

Starting point is 01:41:32 Do you know all the details and what entails everything about this story? Just like how you asked me about my story. Do you know that he's not flying? He's not going to be on this thing? This thing is going to go in a museum. Thank you, Qatar, but we're good. No, no. You say thank you and move...

Starting point is 01:41:43 No, you take it... Because this is going to come at a price. Again, I don't know that... If Vladimir Putin pours you a vodka and says have drink. Okay, so drinking that thing. Let me take hell I'm coming to you. I got some thoughts on this because it's all over the place where we went We have like three stories in one but Tom what thoughts do you have? So you a very large gift like this from a foreign government, you know, these are the these are the reasons that government, you know, these are the these are the reasons that businesses have rules on gifts. We don't let our our salespeople any company that I've worked for or with Pat or and before, you can't take a gift more than dinner. You can't. It says if

Starting point is 01:42:18 they want to take you on a trip, you check with your boss, what are they doing? Hey, we're they're all going to Hawaii. They invited my wife and I to go with them you said okay well you pay for the hotel room with our company credit card and then pick up one dinner nothing extravagant but pick up one of the dinners why so because you're not for sale so those are that's how bribes happen they give gifts did you know that every gift given to the to the president gets recorded and there's like a cultural office most of the gifts are cultural in nature you know a gold plate

Starting point is 01:42:50 from India that was like almost 200 years old and it goes in and they you know they end up they end up at the Smithsonian of all these gifts that were given but you give a gift like that it just opens up all sorts of discussions on that's kind of it's kind of weird you can't do that. So I think when you a big gift like this unless he wants to say that's very very nice of you we'll put it over here and everybody will use it. Appreciate it. You know that's one side but it's just why are they giving it. Qatar is a nation of 3 million people and for all of you sports fans out there, the global soccer fans feel that Qatar pulled off the largest bribe and rigged selection

Starting point is 01:43:37 process in sports history when it gave this megalomaniac in 2010, billions of dollars of personal wealth through the back door that they still don't know where it is. And they won world cup 2022, correct? Not Italy, not Brazil, don't countries with massive soccer heritage and World Cups on the shelf France Italy Germany UK even US Qatar wins the World Cup and it gets played at a time of year where everybody's worried about the athletes so Qatar is known to be and by the way and now Qatar has got problems with its neighbors You're off the list you're off the list you're off list, it's with its Arab neighbors. It's kind of weird. So Qatar has always had this reputation and now the gift this big, I don't know. You know, if I was president, I don't think I would accept it. By the way, can you do me a favor, play that clip, Rob?

Starting point is 01:44:37 Play that clip. Yeah, play the clip, the Trump clip. Play this clip. Rather, who Play the clip the Trump clip stadium play this clip rather Who Has really we've helped them a lot over the years in terms of security and safety I felt they I think they and very very nicely and I have a lot of respect for the leadership and for the leader Qatar and I think they very nice they knew about it because they buy Boeing's they buy a lot of Boeing's And they knew about it and they said we would like buy a lot of Boeing's and they knew about it and

Starting point is 01:45:05 they said we would like to do something and if we can get a 747 as a contribution to our Defense Department to use during a couple of years while they're building the other ones. I think that was a very nice gesture. Now I could be a stupid person to say oh no, no, we don't want a free plane. We give free things out. We'll take one, too. And it helps us out because, again, we're talking about

Starting point is 01:45:32 we have 40-year-old aircraft. The money we spend, the maintenance we spend on those planes to keep them tippy-top is astronomical. You wouldn't even believe it. So I think it's a great gesture from Qatar. I appreciate it very much And you have the other clip never knew there's a clip where the lady said your ABC aren't you you're you're you're this? They wouldn't signing the yeah when you do that one and then and then I want to get into it

Starting point is 01:45:56 So we can go to the next story. Go ahead You got luxury jet as a personal gift to you. Why not leave it behind? You're ABC fake news, huh? Why not? Only ABC. Well, a few of you would. Let me tell you, you should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet. I could say, no, no, no, don't give us. I want to pay you a billion or 400 million or whatever it is.

Starting point is 01:46:21 Or I could say, thank you very much. You know? There was an old golfer named Sam Snead. Did you ever hear of him? He won 82 tournaments. He was a great golfer. And he had a motto. When they give you a putt, you say, thank you very much.

Starting point is 01:46:35 You pick up your ball and you walk to the next hole. A lot of people are stupid. They say, no, no, I insist on putting it. And then they putt it and they miss it. And their partner gets angry at them. You know what? Remember that. Sam Snead.

Starting point is 01:46:44 When they give you a putt it and they miss it. And their partner gets angry at them. You know what? Remember that Sam Steyn, when they give you a putt. Okay, so there's two things to talk about here. There's Israel, we can't just completely forget about that story with Netanyahu, and then there's the Qatar story. So for me, okay, in a dark way,

Starting point is 01:47:01 let's play devil's advocate in a very dark way of killing an enemy, okay? Give them a gift. That gift is what? Pagers. The pagers then do what? Blow up.

Starting point is 01:47:17 And then you die, right? Well, technically it wasn't a gift. I know, it wasn't a gift. They purchased them. They purchased them, right. So they blow up. It wasn't a gift at all. Totally get it. But I'm now They purchased them, right. So they blow. It wasn't a gift at all. Totally get it.

Starting point is 01:47:26 But I'm now saying, let's go even worse. So if that's something you're buying, it's even worse. Now think about gift. You give a gift. The gift is a plane. And it's to fly the president. I don't want the president in that plane at all going anywhere whatsoever. You want to take that plane at all going anywhere, whatsoever.

Starting point is 01:47:46 You want to take that plane, run through God knows how many different things on the back end to make sure we're 100% protected and then use it for something else or put it in a museum? Great, we'll take that gift and put it in a museum. I don't want the president I voted for to be flying that place anywhere. I just don't trust it. And Qatar, the World Cup history, we've all read about it, we've all heard about it.

Starting point is 01:48:09 These guys went above and beyond to make sure they got that deal. And by the way, it sucked. The World Cup wasn't exciting over there. The heat, the weather, the temperatures, what it was like, and it's now empty. Who the hell is waking up saying, I wanna go play soccer over there?

Starting point is 01:48:21 Those are empty places, okay? Now, let's go to Israel and Netanyahu. So the president is going to the Middle East for a four-day trip and he doesn't want to stop by Israel? You couldn't make one of the days to go stop by Israel. Is he stopping there or no? No, he's going to the Middle East, not stopping by Israel. No, right. Trump's Middle East trip leaves Netanyahu watching from the sidelines again. So you go there and you don't go visit Israel.

Starting point is 01:48:47 I absolutely love this. I love it. Because to me, this whole election, the way he won, there were so many moments where he was in Israel and he's putting his hand and he's got the yarmulke on and he's, oh my God, he's bought. Bought and paid for. And Trump's like, I'm campaigning in poetry. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Starting point is 01:49:10 Yeah, we need your support. He's in Dearborn, Muslims are endorsing him. Great, and then you become a president and then you're governing based on what you think is best. And if you think somebody behind closed doors thinks and they say something like we can get him to do anything So I got somebody on the inside that we got them elected and we got that a guy with Trump's type of a DNA and wiring Nothing will annoy a person like that more than another person thinking they own them

Starting point is 01:49:40 nothing at all I Absolutely love what he's doing and how he's handling it. For them to not think we get to tell Trump what to do, he works for us. I love that. I don't even want that to be in the, what do you call it, in the ecosystem of people talking about this. I don't even want that narrative. I want that out.

Starting point is 01:50:03 This changes that narrative. The people that out. This changes that narrative. The people that are always a good Jewish people, Israel is the enemy and you know, there's those Jews this and those are this. No, those guys are also part of the problem by the way because they go full here. But the other guys are also like, well no, you know, it's just not them. You know, Israel's and we have to do everything for them. They're also no no relax You don't kind of get me into a war. I don't want to get into this war with Iran I'd like to find a way to do it in a different way Let's try to find a way to negotiate in a different way you want to do do your thing. I'm not getting involved He makes the phone call with Pakistan and what do you call it India? Hey, you know relax relax

Starting point is 01:50:43 Don't do anything and a Pakistan still does something and goes back to it I love the way he's handling it and by the hey, you know. Relax. Relax, don't do anything and Pakistan still does something and goes back to it. I love the way he's handling it. And by the way, you know what's the craziest thing? I'll tell you the craziest thing as well. I also understand Netanyahu. What's Netanyahu's priority when he wakes up? America first?

Starting point is 01:50:54 Hell no. No way. What's Netanyahu's priority? Israel. Okay, but what MBS is? Saudi. Saudi first. What's Putin's Russia?

Starting point is 01:51:03 That's right. What's China? But what I'm saying with that is I get it. Saudi first. Saudi first. What's Putin's Russia? That's right. What's China's Xi? But what I'm saying with that is, I get it. I totally get it. I get what you want and what you're trying to get me to get into because it's going to give you a bigger backing to go out there and go after Iran because America is saying let's go do this.

Starting point is 01:51:18 I get what you're trying to get me into. I don't want anything to do with the war that you want. I don't want that war. You want that war. You want to go pick a fight with them? Go. I'm out of here. I'm not playing this.

Starting point is 01:51:28 So it's going to be interesting. And by the way, keep in mind, your position could change in six weeks. Because in six weeks they could have a meeting in Israel and they're going and saying all this stuff about Iran. You don't know 90% of the details of what's being negotiated behind closures and what types of deals are being brokered. We are simply talking kids. And just having conversations.

Starting point is 01:51:47 Let's not kind of get over, you know, and think like, you know, we really know what's going on inside. No, we're just giving our thoughts. And the audience gets to hear and say, well, you know what, that's pretty reasonable. I never thought about it that way. I don't know if I agree with Pat. I don't know if I agree with, I think I agree with Adam. I agree with Vinny.

Starting point is 01:52:01 No problem. You know, it's good. But this is the idea. I get where he's at and I fully support how the president is handling this. Good for you. I like it. I like it.

Starting point is 01:52:13 I like that that's taking place. Go ahead, Adam. This trip is a trip to Saudi. So, you know, look, this is me speculating. I don't even know if Israel was on the agenda. That's fine. They have a phone call. They can talk.

Starting point is 01:52:26 By the way, Bibi Netanyahu was here in February and in April. You don't think they have an open line of communication? I do think they have an open line of communication. Of course, I'm not saying you. But you know, because I start to see a lot of sort of like tensions subduing about what's going on with the ayatollahs in Iran. Only one country that I know of out there is just vocally shouting death to America, and that is Iran, where you have Israel with American flags everywhere they go. I only see the Gaza community and the Hamas community

Starting point is 01:52:59 burning the American flag, where I see a lot of Jewish people wearing pins with an American flag and Israeli flag. Yes, I do understand that lot of Jewish people wearing pins with an American flag and Israeli flag. Yes, I do understand that none of these leaders should think for even one second that they own America, nor do I believe that. A lot of it is sort of hyperbolic. By the way, fact check this, did Iran try to kill President Trump? How about this? Key incidents, if you can check this, the US Secret Service

Starting point is 01:53:25 increased Trump's security after intelligence surfaced about Iranian plot to assassinate him. 2024, a Steve Merchant, the Pakistani national with ties to Iran was arrested in Houston. He attempted to hire hitmen to assassinate Trump. November 28th, November 2024, the Department of Justice charged Farhad Shakiri an alleged Iranian operative in connection with the murder for hire plot targeting Trump. Yeah, I'd be very skeptical of Iran. By the way, we're not even talking about what they're doing with their nuclear situation. So do I trust the Ayatollahs of Iran?

Starting point is 01:54:01 Not one bit. Do I trust Israel 100%? No, because I don't trust anybody. 100%. America first means America first, but that doesn't mean our allies last. And that's where people get confused. Yeah. By the way, it's funny, Brandon, can you go to our Instagram account, something just real funny to just get a little bit lighter and then we'll get to another story here. Go to Vali Tim's Instagram account and look what this fun fact about McDonald's just popped up. And you tell me what this looks like, okay?

Starting point is 01:54:31 You tell me what this looks like. Right there, second one. Second story, second story. Right there. The one with McDonald's on it? This is the McDonald's spoon banned in 79 for shocking drug scandal. What does that look like?

Starting point is 01:54:44 That looks like what the guys had earlier. Oh. They used this back in the day. 1979 for shocking drug scandal. What does that look like? Let me get to this next it's the macron diplomacy accessory kit. Let me get to the next story This is kind of a transitional we just talked about right now. So DOJ to investigate Muslim development targeted by Texas GOP Senator says Brandon if you have this story to pull up. So, a little weird. I don't know if you guys have seen this video. I'm assuming you guys have seen this video. Senator John Cornyn, who called the Muslim-led epic city development anti-Semitic and anti-Christian, announced that the Justice Department will investigate whether the project around one of North Texas' largest mosques violates federal law stating, I am grateful to Attorney General Bondi and the Department of Justice for hearing my concerns and opening an investigation while claiming religious discrimination and

Starting point is 01:55:34 Sharia law have no place in Lone Star State, the East Plano Islamic Center. Wow, this isn't Plano, Tom. Back in Gepic City, faced accusations from Corn, Texas, Attorney General Kim Paxton, Governor Greg Abbott, and the right-wing bloggers of creating a Muslim-only community imposing Islamic law, which attorney Dan Kajol, defending the project, denied, saying from day one their intention was to comply completely and wholeheartedly with the law. What is crazy to me is how far we have come. We haven't come since 9-11.

Starting point is 01:56:08 Is this the actual property? Yeah, do you want the view of the city or the guy promoting it? The city looks crazy. Is this guy promoting the city? Yes. How long is this? This one is two minutes. Play the city first.

Starting point is 01:56:21 Watch the city first and then we'll go to this guy promoting it. Tom, have you seen this thing? Have you seen the city? Watch this. Go for it. That's what they want to build. I don't think you need the music really. Welcome to Epic. Leave it. Leave it. Epic City is more than just a neighborhood. It's a way of life. A meticulously designed community that brings Islam to the forefront. A community that blends with nature, crafted to elevate your living experience.

Starting point is 01:56:55 With single-family homes, multi-family townhomes by departments, senior living, and in the heart a mosque and a school. Senior living and in the heart a mosque and a school. Vinny, thoughts? I mean, Adam, I'm shocked that you, you of all people, you didn't hear this or anything like that. No, I'm moving there, bro. Oh. And, Brandon, I sent you what Governor Abbott said about the whole situation. Thank you. He said they launched investigations for violations of the housing and consumer laws

Starting point is 01:57:26 and corn asked the feds to actually step in that it may exclude non-muslims and push sharia law even though that they're saying that it's not but they're saying exclusivity then why are they calling epic you know what epic stands for east plano islamic center okay you're in america you're not going to have like, yeah, this is, this is a Abbott talking about the situation. Go ahead. Part by that statement, but also in part by information that we've gathered, there appear to be multiple violations that have taken place here. One is information has been provided to investors that appears to be misleading. Another is they appear to be in violation

Starting point is 01:58:05 of fair housing laws. Also, we found that, you know, they talk about doing all this building, but they don't have any building permits to actually do any building, and they have challenges even getting those building permits. Believe this or not, we've even received information

Starting point is 01:58:21 that they may have been conducting a funeral home without legal authority. Bottom line, Laurie, is that there are so many questions We've even received information that they may have been conducting a funeral home without legal authority. Bottom line, Laurie, is that there are so many questions arose, especially information that we received, that led us to need to call the elite Texas Rangers to conduct a criminal investigation to find out if criminal laws in Texas have been violated. Well, and Paul- And mind you, this is, you guys were paying attention too, like they're, like,

Starting point is 01:58:47 the Muslims in Texas and some in Florida are literally buying up churches and they're building mosques, okay, and then by the way, with this type of situation, when somebody tries to question it, the left cries it's Islamophobia, and it's anything but that, okay, this is just a soft entry entry to plant cultural roots and they're saying right now it's just housing but that ends up with laws that don't match our constitution. Texas isn't a place for an experiment. You're not going to do that type of stuff because it's going to expand and I'm telling you right now with what we're seeing in Europe, did you even see Ed Sheeran said something the other day where he was with Theo Vann, he goes, nowhere is safe in England.

Starting point is 01:59:26 In name of city, he goes, nothing is safe, the crime is up, this migration has gotten out of control, and it's that type of attitude that's gonna come in there and it's gonna change it up. I'm not a fan of it. Tom, thoughts? We live in Plano, what do you think about this? Like, would you send your kids to this,

Starting point is 01:59:41 just give me your real thoughts about this place. My real thoughts about this place go like this. The word that comes to mind is predominantly. There are places, for instance, downtown LA, the Diamond District and the little community around it, it's predominantly Jewish, but they don't have their own laws, it's our laws, and they have to abide with the norms of society.

Starting point is 02:00:02 You have Boise, Idaho. Half of Boise, Idaho is predominantly Mormon. And they have all sorts of, they call their churches, stakes, church and stakes as groups within it, all that going on. However, they comply completely with US laws. Now, this, they wanna build basically a consulate. A consulate is like like you have a building, you have an office, and you sound perfect and

Starting point is 02:00:31 you do all these things to it, and it's basically this little embassy, right? And it's just your country. So you could have a U.S. embassy in Ethiopia, and if you lose your passport, you've got to get to the U.S. embassy because it's because it's regarded as US soil when you walk inside. So it appears that they're attempting to build a community with like embassy type privileges. They're gonna have their own courts, their own schools and stuff.

Starting point is 02:00:56 Sorry, we saw what happened in England when radical clerics in iconoclastic communities radicalize young men, and we have the subway bombings, the two bombings in England. No, we can't do that. So when they cross the line like that, and it's not merely a community that is predominantly this, predominantly that, I'll show you streets in Granada Hills

Starting point is 02:01:21 that were predominantly Armenian. Couple generations come and go, right? The son buys a house down the street, mom and dad lived over here. It's predominant, but you are in the US under US laws and you're not stepping over lines. This concerns me because they want to build by their own words a city and a community with embassy-like privileges to run their own laws. And that concerns me a lot, especially when you take a look at what the real motives are in communities that we've seen in other countries. If you're peaceful, no one has any problem with that.

Starting point is 02:02:02 Hey, there's... Yeah, but let me tell you, the slippery slope here is, our constitution says freedom of what? Religion. Okay, so now, in China, they took it a step ahead of everybody else. I don't know if you saw what they did in China. Did you see this?

Starting point is 02:02:20 They were knocking down mosque, weren't they? But did you know what they called it? No. Okay. A mental something? Yeah, they did looking down mosque, weren't they? Did you know what they called it? No. Okay. Or mental something? Yeah, they did something with it. Did you see this, Brandon, or no?

Starting point is 02:02:32 What's that, the girl that said you won't change your taxes? Yeah, no, in China, there's certain countries that are saying, we don't even want that over here. This is a challenge, it's not going to fit with our culture. If our constitution says freedom of religion and Muslims, Islam comes in and they out-compete our other religions that we have, Catholicism, Christianity, add whatever you want, Presbyterian, take all of them, right? Jehovah's seven day, you know, LDS Jews, put them all in there, right? If they out recruit, outgrow, out invest, what, how does the constitution prevent them

Starting point is 02:03:11 from being able to do so? Tom. Our constitution would not prevent them from peacefully operating their own mosque. Right. However, if we find out that you're basically operating like the Black Panthers and you were training people for no good, guess what?

Starting point is 02:03:30 We step in and we say, sorry, that's not gonna happen here. You think they're capable of doing that? That song was very peaceful. It was calm, soothing. No, I think the example you can look at is Northern England. They had mosques and they built around communities and those mosques had radical clerics.

Starting point is 02:03:46 Those clerics were training young men and we saw what they did. We have an example. We have a case study. We can see it. We can see how things go along. And it's kind of funny that Governor Abbott's worried about, oh, and they may have been illegally operating. The stuff he was talking about, none of that is like stuff that's long-term fixable. It's like they don't have a permit. They don't have this. I'm like, so that's not even the issue. No, those are just little stumbling points. They were illegally operating a funeral home. But the reason why I'm saying this is,

Starting point is 02:04:14 according to our constitution, if they have lawyers and the lawyers fight for freedom of religion, how do your lawyers defend your argument to say no, you can't build? What if all of a sudden... You can build a mosque and freely assemble but you can't have your own laws and your state and you can't violate our laws. What if I buy a hundred thousand acres of land somewhere and I build and I have multiple zip codes, now it's a city and I'm able to grow it I think about five thousand because Frisco used to not be a city 30 years ago.

Starting point is 02:04:46 1994, they hit the number of 5,000. And then they grew from there, they became a city. And now they're at a 212, 220,000, whatever it is. The top city in Texas. Top city in Texas, yeah. So what if they do that, then what? Then what if they do that in 10 cities, 20 cities, 50 cities, 100 cities.

Starting point is 02:05:03 Now you have a problem. But what I'm saying to you is, again, the same thing to me goes back to the lobbying law of big pharma and patents. The short-term thing is you can't charge this because it's cheaper with the fat medicine in Europe, right? I get that. But the tougher one is what?

Starting point is 02:05:20 No, your patent laws cannot constantly extend to 40 years. Okay, so, Brandon, I'm gonna come to you as well on this one here. The first, the constitution about freedom of speech, how do you fight to say, listen, this is not gonna, you guys are doing too much stuff in America, we're seeing what's going on with Dearborn, we're not gonna let you do to other cities what you guys did to Dearborn, it's not gonna happen. Yeah, because a lot of the times they say they actually um say they want to impose danger on us But I think this reminds me of a lot what the government started doing in the 90s when it really started cracking down on

Starting point is 02:05:52 Militias and cults like you remember Waco and Ruby Ridge That's because that really hit a nerve with the government when groups started to get together and buy plots of land and like hold weapons It's that really freaked the government out So I mean this is kind of similar to that, you know, like they did that under a religious tense like back back then. So I think that you could apply the same thing to this. And they start talking about wanting to apply Sharia law, then that's a threat to free speech for some people. And then you know, that that's has a nature of being infectious and contagious. So I think you could say that's a danger to people if they try to implement a fundamentally different

Starting point is 02:06:22 law than we have. Adam, thoughts? So I'm on team freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom to do what you want in America. If you're part of the American dream, part of the American culture, part of the American civilization, actually love America. The problem I have is if when people don't assimilate, they try to come in here and infiltrate, populate, and dominate. That's the biggest problem I have. If you want to be a part of America, I don't care what religion you are, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Zoroastrian, be a part of America.

Starting point is 02:07:02 We want you, we love you. We want people from all over the world to come in legally. But if you come here and you want to change what America stands for, and you want to basically criticize everything, the foundation of America or be like Ilan Omar and say the biggest problem with America is what Vinny white man, okay. We're going to have a massive problem here. Okay. So if you take case examples, which Tom likes to do when you look at what's going on in Toronto or London or in Germany or in Paris and France or anywhere around the world in Sydney, Australia, these don't look like people who absolutely love Western values or the Judeo Christian values that a lot of these countries were founded on.

Starting point is 02:07:45 They don't seem to be like that. They're very Sharia law driven. Now, my only counter argument would be is, you know how I can, I said this the other day, you know how in China, they'll allow us to have Tik Tok or they'll have Tencent, we can use all their companies, they can export all their products here, but we can't have any of our social media apps in China. Facebook isn't in China. Instagram isn't in China. YouTube isn't in China. Okay, so it works. It's not a two-way street.

Starting point is 02:08:12 Same things going on in the Middle East and Islamic countries. You can set up shop here in America. You can set up shop in any country you want. But you're not letting churches and synagogues and prayer houses that are not Islamic come to your country? Are they? I think the number is dwindling. So I'm all for people of all shapes, sizes, colors, creeds, religions coming to America if you love America.

Starting point is 02:08:37 If not, peace out. I said there's two videos. We could play one of them. One is about the Dearborn, Michigan where there's a muslim guy saying That this and I quote this america empire must fall people are willing to fight and put their lives in line to bring these western empires Down that's the first and then this is my this is new york. This is new york and this is the attitude This is in times square play this video Hiding we're done. We're done being tortured and hurt and judged this video. I want to hear it in every single district. It should tremble.

Starting point is 02:09:25 Brooklyn should hear it. The Bronx should hear it. Queens should hear it. Say it as if the Oma depends on this, my brothers and sisters. Naila halala. Naila halala. Mohamed Rasool.

Starting point is 02:09:40 Okay, so that's, that's. What was the other one with Dearborn? Oh, the other one's a Dearborn guy. Brandon, I saw. I saw that as well well Brandon. Yep. Yep. You said that one I just I actually I texted it to you, but I got you. I guess it's like Yeah, you have it here as well. It's it's uh, yeah, listen and Adam I'm all for a religion do your own thing, but that type of that attitude Well, and that's what the difference between us and Europe is? Guess what? The Second Amendment.

Starting point is 02:10:06 We're not playing that shit. You're not taking over anything in this freaking country. I'm sorry. I don't like that shit at all. You're calling for, you're calling for like a problem. And guess what? This is the wrong place to have that attitude. This is it right here.

Starting point is 02:10:21 Texas? Yeah, and Florida there. More of the message for the people of Gaza is going to be more of the message that should be sent to the people here in that they have achieved victory we haven't done anywhere near enough and the people here I promise you we do feel ashamed we do feel like we're not doing enough we do feel like change needs to come because change must come and in the form that it must come is that this Empire the American Empire that's been hurting our people since the beginning the imperial Western powers are hurting our people since the beginning

Starting point is 02:10:52 Yeah, they must fall. They must Allah inshallah They will fall and my message to the people of us and the oppressed peoples across the world is that there are people here both Young and old who are going to be willing to fight and are willing to put their lives and everything they can on the line to bring these empires down because they must come down. He's in America saying America must fall. You are a threat bro. That right there that attitude and like you said it don't be here then go somewhere else and pick up a gun and try to fight us. If that's the attitude that's... This isn that's, buddy, this isn't just a little hiccup. Okay? That is happening a lot. And if you're buying up churches

Starting point is 02:11:31 in Texas, in Florida too, bro, and the attitude is that, I have a huge problem with that. Foreign and domestic. Domestic. Thank you. No damn right. This is taking our kindness for weakness. You know, you go and try to have freedom assembly or criticize the government in any Islamic country like that. Heads are going to roll. You know, what's the story? I don't know if we have time to get to it.

Starting point is 02:11:56 But the rapper in in Iran, yeah, who was sentenced to death for criticizing the government. What's that story, Pat? I didn't even hear it. You have that story? Yep. So there's a rapper in Iran. Sentenced to death after being accused of blasphemy by Iranian court, if you want to read it. Page number nine.

Starting point is 02:12:17 Yeah, page number nine. Here you go. Rapper sentenced to death after being accused of blasphemy by Iranian court. The Iranian court sentenced pop, Amir Hossein Magsudulu, bad if you want to help me with that last name, known as Tatalu, to death for blasphemy after the Supreme Court overturned his previous five-year jail term with local outlet Elemad reporting that the case was reopened. At this time, the defendant was sentenced to death for insulting the prophet, though the verdict is not final and can be appealed. Tatloulou,

Starting point is 02:12:50 who fled to Istanbul in 2018, was then extradited by Iran by Turkish police in December 2023, also received a 10-year sentence for promoting prostitution and face charges of spreading propaganda, quote unquotequote against the Islamic Republic repulsion publishing obscene content having previously collaborated with the Universal Music Group in 2021 as the first Iranian artists to do so so I'm Pat I obviously want to turn this over to you in America you could openly call for the destruction of your civilization and nothing happens to you if in fact you're treated as a hero to many people on the left or the far right, whereas an Iranian citizen, and believe me, I wish this was the only

Starting point is 02:13:32 story because we've seen multiple stories like this, dozens of stories, hundreds of stories of political dissidents no longer living. So Pat, this cognitive dissonance, what do you think? It's crazy that we have this story here because, Brandon, I'm going to send this to you if you can pull it up while you're pulling it up. I'm just going to share a couple thoughts. This morning, while I'm driving here, I'm manecting a few people. A guy named Nader, he and I have been going back and forth about the story of this rapper, Amir Tatalu, that they're doing this to, that they want to kill this guy right just this morning literally four hours ago five hours ago Iran court overturns verdict in controversial case of singer Amir the verdict against Iranian singer Amir Hossein Max sold to widely known as Amir Tataloo has been overturned following the acceptance of a request under the article 477 Iran's criminal

Starting point is 02:14:23 procedure code his lawyer confirmed according to the defense attorney Majeed, the judiciary accepted a procedural review effectively nullifying the previous ruling. While officials' details remain limited, the development comes after weeks of public attention and mounting online campaigns demanding of reconsideration of the case. He was previously sentenced to death on charges of insulting the Prophet, a serious offense under the Iranian law. His case has been under review by Iran's Supreme Court. Efforts to secure his release on bail have been so far unsuccessful and parts of the legal rulings against him remain contested. Despite reports suggesting repentance and remorse from Tata Louz's

Starting point is 02:15:00 court proceedings, the legal process continues. A high-prof profile online petition seeking to overturn his death sentence was taken offline by Iran's Committee for Determining Offensive Content, despite being among the most signed campaigns on the Khazar platform. So here's the deal with this. They're doing this, whether it's from the noise that the people made, which is congratulations to the Iranian people, or because they just want to seem like they are kind and forgiving and that's kind of what they're doing. The regime that runs Iran, Khomeini, all the folks that came from Khomeini, all of these guys in Iran, they destroyed a once great nation, period.

Starting point is 02:15:42 You can say whatever you want to say. They destroyed a once great nation. Period. You can say whatever you want to say. They destroyed a once great nation. Full on once great nation they destroyed. I watched this clip this morning. You know I've been showing Iran before and after? This is Iran's entertainment before on how they're doing it today versus what the entertainment on Iran used to be before, pre-1979. Brandon, I text you a video I want you to play. The people of Iran are unbelievable. Some of our things like the habits that we have, you go to have dinner with an Iranian person, you have to eat some food, or else they'll defend you.

Starting point is 02:16:16 Everything they do, they want to give you a gift. No, let me give you a gift. Go to dinner with them and try to see who's going to pay for the bill. God forbid, if somebody doesn't try to pay for the bill, they're not Iranian. They're Americanized, right? They say, no, let me pay for it. No, let me pay for it. No, let me pay for it.

Starting point is 02:16:30 No, let me pay for it. Right? It's constant. Watch this video. Pre-79, what it is today versus what it was before. Can you please zoom in Brandon? You should be able to do with control. Okay.

Starting point is 02:16:40 So refresh it so we can watch it from the beginning and let's hear the audio. Oh, we can't it from the beginning and let's hear the audio. Oh we can't hear we have to... This is today. Beautiful. What are they singing? I don't know what it is. It's their American Idol version. The point about these types of stories, and that guy right there was Fereydoun Farooqzad, who was a very, not this guy, the guy that was singing with the girl.

Starting point is 02:17:39 Very well known. He was like the Johnny Carson of Iran is who he was. They eventually after the revolution, they found him at a German hotel. They cut him in pieces and they put his Dangling in his mouth. That's the guy right there. They killed him Sean Connery looking go Go read his story that the story of what they did to him is absolutely an atrocity That's the new regime. That's what's capable of happening in Iran. And this is why You know for them to get what they want, they need one leader, man. They need one person to get behind that's willing to fight the fight.

Starting point is 02:18:11 And they got every year, you know, what month is it? Is it February, March, April, May? You got officially 44 months left. That's what you got left. You got 44 more months left to succeed before what happens next. And you cannot rely on assuming the next president is gonna be somebody that's gonna help you on. Went from a beautiful place that everybody used to go

Starting point is 02:18:32 to the other day I reacted to the Frank Sinatra singing the song Iran. Incredible. And to now different story. Great people, I hope they'll be free again so I can come to Iran and visit the place. I can't wait for that day. Can you imagine the day we go and we do the podcast out of Iran? And we sell tickets. Tehran, Iran, we're doing

Starting point is 02:18:49 a podcast. Thomas, they're worried what's going to happen. Until that day, Pepe Day, there's no traveling to Iran. By the way, just to validate everything you're saying, because I learned a lot of this when I joined you in 2020. I didn't really fully understand what Iran was prior to the 79 revolution. Now there's zero tolerance for political dissidents. It's viewed as treasonous. Your enemies of the state. Do you know the number one country in the world that punishment if you say anything about the ruler number one, North Korea, you know who number two is? Of course, Iran. And then you have Saudi, China, Qatar, our friends in Qatar, Belarus, Russia, Turkey

Starting point is 02:19:29 in that order but Iran the number two country in the world where you cannot say anything about the government. Listen another great day of podcasts folks I want to show you a trailer of a podcast that's going out tomorrow. I had Kurt here who was a 9-11 whistleblower. Do you know this congressman? I love that guy. 20 year wait till you hear this trailer. For the first time ever there was three of them here, okay, who worked on the inside. One of them was a lieutenant colonel who worked for the CIA. During 9-11. And he was one of the guys that was called for the

Starting point is 02:20:03 hearing on a 9-11 commission that last minute they canceled it, so we don't want to hear from him. Where guess who questioned him while he's giving him credit to Kurt Weldon? He's saying, I thought I was under the impression that we're going to be talking to the five folks. I don't know what happened. Why are they not, why were we not able to ask him questions? Joe Biden is saying, why can't I talk to Anthony Schaeffer? Tony Schaeffer was here.

Starting point is 02:20:24 What? And another gentleman who was a major in the army? Eric given his insight He was in one that had the two and a half terabytes of all the information they had gathered That the US government told them to destroy the two and a half terabytes. They were all here talking about 9-eleven very interesting I want you to watch this trailer this goes live tomorrow 9 a.m. First thing in the morning. Go ahead Brandon The biggest event that cost the most American lives ever. Why do we only spend $15 million to investigate that? The whole thing is a cover-up, and that's why I'm here.

Starting point is 02:20:59 I know the game. You know, they have needles they insert in people that give them fast-moving cancer. You can do that to me. Come on. No, I'm not. Come on. I've had two staffers that both worked for the CIA. One was threatened. I was working with him when he died.

Starting point is 02:21:12 But that's not right in America. Yeah, you know, it's interesting you say that because I had such a good conversation with him. I said, do you mind coming back a month later? Months later, Rob tells me he passed away. Yeah. He reported to him. When I came back from Afghanistan, Get out of here.

Starting point is 02:21:24 I want to talk about able Yeah. He reported to him. When I came back from Afghanistan, I want to talk about Abel Danger. I was immediately suspended. And so what I'm going to tell you now is what I told them. Two of the terrorists on 9-11 were on the payroll of the CIA at the time. Now look, I'm not accusing anybody. All I'm telling you is stop this bullsh-t! This is America! Let the people know the truth!

Starting point is 02:21:45 He was in the middle of all of this. All I can tell you is one of the first calls at my home that night was from Joe Biden. Unbelievable. And he said, Kurt, I'm sorry what they did to you. Wow. Holy shit. Tomorrow. Tomorrow night? I'm watching.

Starting point is 02:22:01 By the way, the one person that you're gonna be shocked with on how he talks about him is Joe Biden because his kids went to school together and they grew up one mile apart. And he's a full-on Republican. Oh wow. You have to see. Yeah, it's a very, like I can't wait to see it. And I did the interview.

Starting point is 02:22:18 I can't wait to see it. You were there. It was phenomenal. All right, tomorrow night, name gang. Everybody, appreciate you guys. Love you guys. Take care, God bless. Bye-bye.
