But anyways, it's good to be with you guys. And I drew the short straw out of Vegas. A lot is going on. A lot is going on. A lot is going on that we will be talking about. Just a few minutes ago, I think they just subpoenaed a bunch of people from Epstein. Clinton's, Bill, ho-mey, a bunch of people that we'll talk about here momentarily. Barry Weiss asked for a quarter of a billion dollars for her media company, and Sager from their show comes out, calls it out, and I got some thoughts on it. And I know Tom does as well on what's going on there.
Starting point is 00:01:36 What is really going on? The claims made, is this really another leg for Israel, for them to pick up? Who knows? We got some commentary. There's some stuff going on with Tucker as well with Laura Lumer, Tucker and Candace at a podcast. And then Nick had said something about, I think the CIA stuff that came out with some of the pictures. We'll get into that as well. Aside from that, Trump moves nuclear submarines after ex-Russia president's menacing tweet.

Starting point is 00:02:20 U.S. birth rate, folks, hit an all-time low. CDC data shows. Matter of fact, it hit so low that if all of you guys agree to get off the podcast, Ryan, and not watch just to make babies, I would be okay with it. That's how bad the numbers hit, Ryan. We're deeply concerned about it. Hopefully by the end of the podcast, you'll be encouraged to go make some babies. We've got to get that number to be above 2.1.
Starting point is 00:02:42 We had four of them. Every day I try to convince my wife to go for 20 kids. As good as I'm in sales, I'm failing on a daily basis, but we'll see what it happened.

And Trump's not happy about it. It's like, wait a minute. You want to do a deal with us, a tariff deal, but you want to buy oil from them? What is this all about? We'll talk about that. Nelk boys. They had Netanyahu on. After Netanyahu, they had Basim Yosef on. They're apologizing. We made a big mistake. We should have never done this. Nelk, Kyle, fellas, I just have some thoughts. Very basic.

Watch this one here. A generation is turning to buy now pay later for Botox and concert tickets. Tom made a very good point earlier. It says, do you realize by the time you buy the Botox to buy now pay later, By the time the Botox is weared off, you're still paying for the Botox.
Starting point is 00:06:37 So you've got to go do it again. What a terrible idea of people going into debt for Botox using Buy Now Pay Later. Las Vegas Tourism's dropped. Some numbers will maybe get into. Birthday, we already talked about. Home sales 13-year-low. You ready for this one? Parents ask, Patrick, what job should my son have?
Starting point is 00:06:55 What should I encourage my kids to get into? Well, let me tell you what one kid turned down a job offer from META. Mehta offered this guy a billion-dollar job offer. This is not interesting. A.I. Engineers. Another guy got a $250 million offer to lure a 24-year-old AI whiz kid. We have reached the climax of Revenge of the Nerds. At 24-year-old, the kid's getting $250 million, a quarter of a billion-dollar job offer from META.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Wait for that one. We'll talk about it. This next one is dedicated to my oldest son who's 13 years old. Kids who get smartphones before 13 years old face skyrocketing risks, study warrants. I like the fact that my kids don't have phones and they're 13 parents. We will talk about this because we're at dinner last night having sushi. The table right next to us. What did you see, Vinny?
Starting point is 00:07:47 Three, four iPads kids sitting there big ass free. One kid had a freaking, like he had an antenna, headphones, and the parents are just getting drunk. Completely checked out. The kid might as well have been on Mars. And this is the one story that Adam really wanted to talk about. I don't know why. Sex toy infiltrate second WMBA game. Nice.

Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah, and then we got a few other stories here. And then who was the one bodybuilder guy that dressed his fault and is apologizing. He's apologizing for apologizing. And he's not and he's done apologizing. A lot of apologies. We got so many things to talk about, but I want to tell you about two things. I'm going to give you first shoutout and then the second one as well.
Starting point is 00:08:39 First one, summer is here. Future looks bright gear. We have the matching shirts with the hats, gang. So, Rob, if you can go to it where people can see it, no, you just had it. If you go back one where it shows the homepage right there. So the matching, if you can shop the collection, the hats, the shirts, the colors matching with each other. This is the shirt that Vinny wears. The black future looks bright shirt right there with the silver one.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Every time I see it, because that's elevated, right? It's raised up the shirt. It's sick. So if you go up a little bit, I don't know if that one's an elevator or not go a little bit higher, Rob, but the hats. The other way, Rob, if you go. Oh, those are the ones that are elevated. These are so sick. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Matching. So summertime, go sports your future. Yesterday we're walking on Vegas. Guys got Valued his shirt on, value taming hats on. It's awesome. Now we're seeing it all over the place. And I'm getting a bunch of pictures being sent my way. So go to vtmerch.com, place your order.
Starting point is 00:09:30 And number two, we are officially, we were at Gaylord last week, Orlando, at the conference where the VAL conference will be held. And at the hotel, what a VAL conference will be held. We are officially 35 days away from nearly 12,000 people coming together at the VAL Conference at the Gaylord. The hotel looks amazing. The number of networking opportunities, absolutely insane. whether you're an AI, real estate, private equity, you're trying to raise money, you're trying to deploy money to some people.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Great place to come. If you haven't yet bought your tickets, the top two-tier tickets are about to sell out. Of course, you can get your general tickets, but the best tickets are typically the executive and the CEO and founder for you to sit closely and network with others. There's going to be a lot of big announcements
Starting point is 00:10:15 that we'll be making. Tony Robbins will be there. Martha Stewart will be there. David Falk would be there. And a couple other surprises that will only be revealing while you're there if you haven't yet registered, go to thevaultconference.com. Once again, to the vaultconference.com.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I believe the prices are increasing this Friday. So get your tickets before the price is increased by the end of this week and get your hotels as well at the Gaylord because everybody will be there. All right, having said that, let's get right into it. So, Rob, the story I want to start off with is the subpoena story that was just dropped. If you don't mind pulling that up, I don't even know if we have that story because it just happened right now. House panel subpoenas,
Starting point is 00:10:56 Clintons and other ex-officials in Epstein probe seeks files from the DOJ. This happened, just look what time it is right now. 1101 this morning, if we can read this article, the House Oversight Commission issued subpoenas Tuesday to slew a former Attorney General and FBI Directors, Clintons, for their testimony case involving sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, the subpoena seeking depositions
Starting point is 00:11:19 from former Justice Department officials were issued after Republicans and Democrats on a House Overrides Subcommittee, approved measures to authorize the demands last month as part of the effort for Congress to obtain more information about Epstein. The investigator is also issued a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi for documents related to Justice Department investigation into Epstein and to Eustine Maxwell as associate who was serving a 20-year prison. And by the way, I think story just also came out where Jelaine Maxwell has officially moved into a nicer place where she's at. no, literally, she just moved into a new prison amid fight over answers and immunity. And when I'm
Starting point is 00:11:56 looking at the story of what names were on the list today, Rob, I don't know if you see a list of all the names today. If you can find it, I had one of the list that I saw here that David Harris posted. If you have a list of the names, I want to share this because I'm coming. Tom, I'm coming to you here to see
Starting point is 00:12:12 what this could look like. Pat, you know who's in that prison? Elizabeth Holmes is in that new prison that they moved there to in Texas. Oh, wow. So I can talk about, you know. Here's the names. William Barr, Alberto Gonzalez, Jeff Sessions, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, James Comey, Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch are some of the names of people that got subpoenaed this morning. Tom, what does this mean? What this means is everyone has won an all expenses paid trip to Washington to be questioned. And unless everybody just wants to stand there and say, I take the fifth, I take the fifth, which makes everybody look bad. So you're all guilty. But that could be what comes out of it. So I think on the far end of one thing, everybody takes the fifth, everybody sits there like this, refusing to cooperate.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Like when we saw Hillary, you've got probably, remember how Hillary looked exasperated when she was being quizzed about Benghazi? What difference does it make? Yeah. What difference does it make? And she sat there like this, remember? Oh, horrible. And going, you know, like, you're not going to get anything from me. So do you think everyone's going to plead the fifth?
Starting point is 00:13:17 No. someone is going to break and someone is going to get left out to dry. That's usually what happens when you get large groups of it. It happened in Watergate. It's happened since then. There's too many people here. I looked on this list and I
Starting point is 00:13:31 sat there and I looked and a name stuck out for me. Loretta Lynch. I'm like everybody's got friends on here. Does she have enough friends? Or is she going to be the one that says something? Because when you look at this, Pat, you have to just look around and Pat, you're really good at this. Like when you're trying to decipher a business negotiation through multiple parties
Starting point is 00:13:51 and you're looking at, okay, he's the strong one, here's the talker, here's the lawyer, here's the aggressive one, and you're really playing chess. That's what's about to happen, Pat. They're going to go there and play chess, and somebody is going to be a man or a woman without a country, because usually what happens if everybody goes through is that somebody says something or somebody leaks something, you know, and I looked at that list. What do you think they worry about? I want you to look at this list.
Starting point is 00:14:16 By the way, this is the list. that EPSC victims identified due by August 19th, a demanding full, complete, unredacted EPSC files with victims identified, redacted by August 19th. Clinton's deposition is scheduled on October 14th, Hillary Clinton's October 9, Comey 7th, Mueller 2nd, Barr is the 18th of August, Alberto's 26th. So this is going to happen the next few weeks.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And look who's first? Slick Willie. No, William. Bill, Slick Willie. No, no, no. No, no. William Barr is 1st, August 18. Oh, meaning Gates one. I didn't even have the list. No, no. Who on this list do Clintons worry about?
Starting point is 00:14:57 Because you got to know, Clintons are going to call everybody, and there's going to be a conference call today if it hasn't already happened. They're talking right now. Which of them do you think they fear? Do you think Loretta is the one they fear? I would look at Loretta and Eric Holder. Jeff. Because those are the ones that it seems.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Tell me why. Jeff Sessions. He has a relationship with Trump. and I think out of all those, Tommy, like, no, you made a great point on the fifth and who's going to talk and who's not going to talk. I mean, if I was Bill Clinton, I wouldn't say one damn word, bro. That guy is the most entrenched with Jeffrey Epstein. I would ask him every question from besides the redacted stuff, why the hell was he visiting you at the White House 11 times? Why?
Starting point is 00:15:38 Why were you flying on pedophile express, whatever air, whatever the hell it's called, 26 times? Why were you at that? Those are questions. Why are you pictured with these younger that relationship? Why when you walk into Epstein's house in Manhattan? Pat, there's a picture of you in a dress pointing at the people walking. You would never have the dress on your apartment. I'm not a big purple. I wear red or something more flashy.
Starting point is 00:16:01 But my point is being Jeff Sessions has a relationship. But at the end of the day, PBD, do you think anything's going to come off this? Even if they don't plead the fifth. I don't know. I know. I know, yeah. I know you're saying that. And I know Vinny, that's something you say a lot, but hear me out.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Okay. You know what I'm for? In business, there's a couple things. The longer you're in business, you realize one thing will never happen. You know what never happened in business? What? Perfection. You will never have perfection in business, ever.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Okay. That's what you're looking for in business, in marriage, in parenting. You know what you're looking for? Progress is what you're looking for. Okay. I think this is progress. And I think you've got to applaud them for making progress for being subpoenaed. Where it goes from here, who knows?
Starting point is 00:16:41 I like the fact they're doing this. The reality of it is daily. comes out with a story. A couple of days ago, and they say all these people linked to Epstein scandal who have died by suicide. Epstein, died by suicide. Virginia Joufrey died by suicide. April 25th at 41 years old. And she said this would never happen. She was the one that at an Australia farm abused as a child, trafficked by Ron Eppinger. She met Jolene at 16, worked at Marlago. She alleged Epstein and Maxwell groomed her for sexual servitude, including to Prince Andrews settling him with him in
Starting point is 00:17:15 2003. She posted about hospital stays and a quad bike accident before death. Mark Middleton, Clinton's special assistant, admitted Epstein to the White House seven times and flown the Lollita Express, died by suicide. May 22, 52, 59 years old at Heifer Ranch, Paraville, Arkansas, which we were just there a few days ago. Shotgun on the chest? In Arkansas, not at the specific place. Shotgun on the chest. Couldn't find the gun.
Starting point is 00:17:36 It's tough to do. Weird. Jean-Luc Brunel, Epstein's modeling agent, found hanged in his Paris. prison cell on February 19, 2022, after rape charges, Joffrelle alleged he used her as a sex slave, and Thomas Bowers, former Deutsche Bank executive, hanged himself in Malibu, November 2019 at 55, oversaw Epstein's accounts, 2013 to 2018,
Starting point is 00:17:59 leading to Deutsche Bank's $150 million and $75 million settlement. The spokesperson said, we acknowledge our error of onboarding Epstein in 2013, no direct evidence ties to Bowers, Bowers to Epstein account. So, listen, all I care about that they're finally sitting there asking these questions. And if the audience sees everybody plead the fifth, guess what that does? That gets everybody saying, what are you hiding? Why are you not answering? What are you not answering? What are you uncomfortable answering with? I'd love to see Bill
Starting point is 00:18:27 and Hillary Clinton plead the 50 entire time. Yeah. Because everyone's going to play that. Tom. Well, you asked me why I thought Loretta Lynch and then Eric Holder. I'll tell you why. Because Eric Holder is Obama's guy. He was his first AG. He was the first African American to be attorney General of these United States. He was followed by Loretta Lynch, who was the first female African America to be AG, and they were not seen to be kind of tied in to the whole Epstein thing in the flights. They were Obama's people, and Obama and Hillary still are chilly. The most that Eric Holder did for Hillary that I saw was when he just came out and said, I'm endorsing Hillary Clinton, I think she's the best person to, I think he used the phrase,
Starting point is 00:19:10 preserve the Obama legacy. So that's why I look at Lynch and Holder as the ones here that I believe that the Clintons probably would fear the most. So the most important person by far is Jelaine Maxwell when it comes to this Epstein thing. We're going down this list, Bill and Hillary, we're talking about Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr, we're talking about Eric Holder, all these names that have been in government and been sort of in the know or what's going on here. Jelaine Maxwell knows everything
Starting point is 00:19:39 and she is in jail for 20 years whatever her sentence is and now there's a conversation about what does she know? It's almost like there was a golf game and it's like no we need to do a mulligan what happened the scorecard was ripped up all these players mysteriously vanished
Starting point is 00:19:57 out of this list who's the most important? Out of this list it's Bill Clinton but Bill Clinton will not say shit Hillary Clinton will not say anything. He's the former President of the United States. When did he leave office? 25 years ago.
Starting point is 00:20:13 You think retroactively Bill Clinton is going to be held responsible for anything? Zero. The only person who's ever been attempted to be held responsible for anything is Donald Trump. Why? Because the entire system, the entire swamp was trying to get him. And even then, it didn't work. And by the inch of a bullet, he's still here alive. But nothing is going to happen when the...
Starting point is 00:20:34 people go to court. And, Pat, that's the point. I love, I get the business part. I get the business and the progress is happening. But is it really progress? Because in business, I learned this a lot from you, accountability. If you mess up, you have to pay the price. All those names that you listed, can we just acknowledge, these people, the deep, whatever you want to call, the people that are in control? How lazy are they with this whole suicide thing? But, you know, I thought about, why change, why change gears? It works. Because we just keep seeing and we go suicide. Suicide, suicide, and we brush it out. Because at the end of the day, you know why nothing's going to happen?
Starting point is 00:21:09 And why I'm questioning why Trump and all them are pushing this right now? Can we step back? Is Jeffrey Epstein the most important thing that happened to Trump? Let's rewind. Are we not going to do Russia? All these people, I mean, the Hillary's in the bar. It should be Russia gate first. It should be COVID.
Starting point is 00:21:25 I know Fauci's got immunity, but bring everybody else in about COVID. That's important. There's a reason why this right now is taking president. and we and I know why because Trump was mentioned Elon made the post PPD now we are where we are right now and all this confusion because Elon started it you're saying now you're saying now that you think Trump is tied to it Trump in my in my opinion pat with all the reach because remember I'm such a diehard Trump fan I had to change gears and go okay back up think of Jeff objectively they're mentioning his name once Elon said it and then all this I'm going to release it no I'm not stop talking about it I don't need your support I think he's listed in there. There's no list, but he's mentioned. Michael Wolf, like we talked about, PPD, says there's a whole different side of this guy that you don't know and he has all this footage. I'm just saying, is this the most important? To me, it is the game. Let me tell you why you're not going to get accountability. And I'll be quick. Because you actually have moral framework
Starting point is 00:22:20 and you believe in things like justice and fairness and accountability. That's not how it works in government. Anytime that there's a big company that tries to get bailout, look at during COVID, the airlines. Look at the big banks. Pat believes in capitalism. Freedom to buy. Freedom to sell, freedom to try, freedom to fail. The big banks will not fail. The airlines will not fail. Big government will not fail. No one will be held accountable because you don't allow them to fail. Once you put Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton or Trump in jail, then there's accountability. Until then, it's all just nonsense. Well, listen, it's a good point that's being made by both of you. Here's what I will tell you. When they try to take down the mob that owned all the
Starting point is 00:23:04 politicians, the Italian mob, for decades, it'll never happen, it'll never happen, it'll never happen. Jay Edgar Hoover protected all of them, said there's no such thing, it's not there. Then all of a sudden, couple lawyers behind closed doors, one of them, I believe, was from Rutgers University, found a way of recall law to go and take them out with a young attorney named Rudy Giuliani. And then all of a sudden, you saw 200-something, you know, mobsters walking up with handcuffs. They're like, wait, what just happened here? No one ever thought that was going to take place.
Starting point is 00:23:37 The only thing I'm saying right now is this is still a bit of a progress that we're looking at. Now let's go to the next story. Obama FBI ignored early indications of Clinton cooking up 2016 Russia collusion hoax. Okay. So what does this mean? Rob, I think this is on page 19. If you got a video clip, I think you do. I'm going to go to page 19 on this to read it if you want to pull up the video.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Boom, boom, boom. Come on page 19. Give it to me. Come on. All right. So U.S. intelligence services obtain information during 2016 presidential campaign suggesting President Barack Obama plan to scuttle an FBI investigation, Taylor Clinton's private email server of Russian intelligence beams,
Starting point is 00:24:17 memos indicating the Democratic Party planned to tie Donald Trump to the Russia Mafia as declassified by Senator Chuck Rassley on Thursday from the 2023 Durham Special Counsel Report annexed. The memos assessed the authentic, as authentic by FBI analysis stated, Democratic Party, party's opposition is focused on discrediting Trump, among other things, the Clinton staff with support from special services is preparing scandalous revelations of business relations between U.S. and the Russian mafia's Grassley. The political weaponization has caused critical damage to our institutions as and is one of our biggest political scandals and cover up of American history.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Emails from OSF Senior Vice President Leonardo Bernardo, part of the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundation. By the way, this is a daily caller story. In 2016, July 27, revealed Clinton's inner circle strategy with Bernardo writing HRC, Hillary Rodham Clinton, approved campaign advisory Julie's idea about Trump and Russia hackers hampering U.S. elections that should distract people from her own missing emails. Rob, do you know which video was you had? I do. I have Chuck Grassley. Go for it. Go for it. Let's hear it. It actually brings attention to the fact that there was either a Clinton conspiracy to make this happen or Russian disinformation.
Starting point is 00:25:43 But either way, it was an attempt to stop Trump. And it also proves that the FBI had a hand in it. And now after these eight years, three years of my trying to. to get the document. We know that there was the steel dossier paid for by the Democrats and the Clinton
Starting point is 00:26:08 campaign. You can pause us with you. Vinny just showed me. This man is 91 years old. Still there doing what he's doing. He only looks 90. Tom, your thought. So let's take a look at it. In the history of elections, and I'm going to get to this story
Starting point is 00:26:23 in 30 seconds. In the history of elections, what is so unusual about finding you know, cat trapped in tree shot with bazooka as a means to distract people from another issue. Distractions is the name of the political game, and your political operatives, your campaign management, everybody wants to throw something out there to distract from something else.
Starting point is 00:26:45 And so guess what? They were looking for a distraction. What I see in this more than anything else is an admission by the Clinton camp, what you're seeing there, Bernardo and others saying, you know, the email server thing is real. man, and we're taking heat for this. We've got problems with this. We've got to get off this email
Starting point is 00:27:02 server. Hey, you know what? One of them allegedly now, campaign advisor, Julie, allegedly said, had an idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections. And so if this allegation is correct, and there's a lot of stuff written about it, but nobody's been to Congress, nobody's guilty yet, is there you go. Oh, my gosh, Russians are interfering with our election and trying to help Trump? Oh, my gosh. So you're trying to distract from their own emails. You know what? And then with the Alabama FBI, you know, how many of these dirty tricks does the FBI turn up in a given month? Probably a lot of them. And so the FBI says, man, I just don't want to be involved in this election crap. Is that what happened? Because to me, things are usually simpler in conspiracies. We found it with the Kennedy assassination that conspiracies usually were more direct and simple. I think this was simple. the oba if the obama fbi i's the longest 30 seconds guys in the history of mankind i wanted to say what's your point i would never say no no no sorry adam do you have any thoughts on i said i was getting to it in 30 seconds i wasn't going to limit myself but there there you have adam
Starting point is 00:28:10 would it be surprising adam go ahead yeah uh to me trump is seeking vengeance on his enemies and much like kobe bryant had his hit list or kill list trump has his list and he's seeking revenge. It started with Hillary Clinton, offed her. He got round two versus Biden. Biden didn't show up. He took out Kamala, and now he's going for the big boss of the Democratic Party, and that's Barack Obama. Pat, you always referenced a book, The Count of Monte Cristo, right? The Count of Monte Cristo is a story of what, betrayal, survival, and patient revenge. Trump has been basically in the political limelight for a decade. And now justice is being served cold on his efforts to basically make Obama pay for what he
Starting point is 00:28:56 basically put together when he was leaving off So we're going to see if justice is served cold or not I think revenge is the wrong take The Democrats are saying all the way through All the way through Democrats have been saying Trump has to be stopped
Starting point is 00:29:11 We have to protect democracy I don't care who's bringing it up If these allegations are correct It was the Dems that were interfering with democracy Guys I like to put in the order for a nothing burger because Barack Obama, like you said about Clinton and all of them, Adam, is absolutely... With a sad of pride. Because he has immunity.
Starting point is 00:29:28 We heard last week, a president has immunity so he could do whatever the hell he wants. He's going to walk free. Are you talking about Obama? Obama. He's untouchable. They're all untouchable. So isn't that the same mindset that you would have in Clinton and to come to Epstein? Well, I was going to my point is Adam and I had this conversation with somebody yesterday,
Starting point is 00:29:45 no joke in the lobby patent. He was wearing a value tamed shirt. We got into a five-minute conversation. I feel that we're not going to get zero. zero accountability here. The only person that's going to give them accountability, Tom, and how many times do you talk about this is God. So as much as we want to get upset
Starting point is 00:29:59 in this moment, Pat, because the FBI, Obama's FBI was, and the last president, geez, how my, Joe Biden? Joe Biden. Jesus, are you having freaking dementia? I just pulled to Joe Biden. I just pulled to Joe Biden. Unbelievable. Their FBI, their Department of Justice
Starting point is 00:30:18 was all weaponized, and they were all biased against Trump. Okay, just go to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton got in trouble for creating the dossier, and she got an $8,000 fine. That right there lets you know, and the DNC got $100,000, I believe. They were involved with trying to freaking cheat him out of his presidency. Rob, what's this here you showing up? This is from Mike Benz.
Starting point is 00:30:40 This is the email from Leonard Bernardo, where they talk about trying to frame Russia jeopardizing or being able to hack the elections to distract from his. Hillary's email. So let me read this. Hi, HRC, who's Leonardo emailing this to? Do we know? HRC approved Julia's idea about Trump and Russian hackers, hampering U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affairs go to the Olympic level. The point is that the Russian play a U.S. domestic issue, say something like a critical infrastructure threat. Oh my God. Wow. Wow. For the election to feel menace since both. Both president of the United States and VP have acknowledged the fact that I see would speed up searching for evidence.
Starting point is 00:31:30 What's I see? What is I see? I see would, do you guys know who that is or no? I don't. I can tell you who Leonard Bernardo is, though. He's a senior vice president of the Open Society's Foundation. He sent that email to divert attention from Hillary Clinton. But who did it go to?
Starting point is 00:31:48 He emailed Julianne Smith, the foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton at the time that they email was sent. Can you pull up both of their Wikipedia? Leonardo Bernardo. So pull up Leonardo Bernardo to see who he is. Sounds like a fake name. Leonardo Bernardo. And just FYI, you guys open society. Guess who's founded by George.
Starting point is 00:32:09 George Horace Soros. He doesn't have a Wikipedia, but this is Leonard Bernardo. Go a little bit lower. Leonard. Senior Vice President Open Society Foundation is Rosa Bernardo, Road 2, Corresponds of Resoners. He works with Chair, Deputy Chairman of the Maintain, ongoing and the Defense Foundation. Programmatically, he stewards two major efforts,
Starting point is 00:32:24 the ideas workshop that seek to promote, open society, unique network, billionaire effort to promote research and teaching across global network. Nothing said there. Nothing said there. A fellowship of Bernardo sits on the board of Central European University, Hungary, the American University of Central Asia, and European Humanities.
Starting point is 00:32:42 He holds a BA from University of Michigan and a graduate degree in political science. Yeah, there's not a lot there on this guy. He is actually, you can't see him anyway. Can you go back to the screenshot, Pat? Kaiser Soze. Go back to the Twitter letter that you had right there. Yeah, I believe we got a text from an alert viewer here.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I see, I think, means intelligence community, and GRU is the Russian spooks. So read it that way. They've acknowledged that the fact that the intelligence community would speed up searching for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable. However, there seems to be signs that the Russian spies penetrated. you know, using these things. They appear hardly skilled and competent bumbling idiots. In essence of direct evidence, crowd strike, that is a company that makes, you know, high-level
Starting point is 00:33:33 anti-virus and anti-penetration and security software. Got it. We'll supply the media with comments. So see, they've set the whole thing up that, hey, say a few things and then let, oh, let's get crowdstrike to comment. And let's see if it was GRU spooks. This is the girl. Can we see who she is?
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yes, sir. Julianne Smith. American policy who served in U.S. permanent representative to NATO, Biden administration 21, previously national security advisor to VP, Biden under Obama. Got a bachelor's from this. Okay, NGO experience 2000 to 2003. She worked with German Marshall Fund, then joined Central for Strategic Fellow Accomplishment, transforming NATO and Premier.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Huh. children to 2002 NATO policy should this email now now that email is public info to everybody when was that email released by the way Thursday or Friday of last week that is part of the declass
Starting point is 00:34:32 now yes the Durham investigation they had that they had that email since I believe 2023 but it just became declassified on Thursday of last week yeah you see I had a guy on the podcast who's had that technology
Starting point is 00:34:49 that at any point they can show the video of a face of somebody in Ukraine-Russia war where he gave the technology to him guys who they would hold hostage Ukrainians that guy right there home contact him and I just spoke the other day
Starting point is 00:35:02 he invented a company called Clearview AI where you can post a person's picture in there is to Google or faces it'll say everything about that individual okay everything about that individual he invented this Where am I going with this?
Starting point is 00:35:17 Where I'm going with this is the fact that we're at a point right now, Vinnie, I'm convinced we're at a point right now that any of these guys that are doing what they're doing, the big government may be protected. The big insurance companies may be protected. The big banks may be protected. But the area you're going in right now, there's a 23, 24-year-old kid
Starting point is 00:35:37 that knows how to hack into different systems to identify things similar to how Snowden and others did, and they got on that intel, and what happened with Snowden was doing what he was doing. What happened every time WikiLeaks was dropping something new? Remember one time even Cuomo from CNN
Starting point is 00:35:50 said you shouldn't read it? I don't know if you remember that or not. Yeah, what was it? You don't remember that? No. All the emails, everything from Hillary, everything that was being dropped. Don't read it.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Yeah, where I'm going with this is, the fact that, and by the way, you know what's a perfect time for this? Rob, can you play the clip of Chris Cuomo? He posted this last week. It's gone viral all over the place. A bunch of people have shared it. This is Chris Cuomo.
Starting point is 00:36:12 was on CNN. He was on CNN for many, many years. Rob, if you can't find it there, just go on X. It's everywhere where he's saying, I made mistakes. Type in Cuomo mistakes, and you'll see it everywhere that's going to be there. Yeah, things he got wrong.
Starting point is 00:36:30 That's that one right there. Watch this. Stuck in traffic. I'm still moving fast. He's moving. Is that another lie? He spoke up. Go back.
Starting point is 00:36:42 He's just lying again. He just lied live. He's going 40 miles. Stuck in traffic. I'm remembering right now. Wow. You just woke up. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I'm wrong a lot. A lot? We don't like to say it. We don't like to admit it. We really don't like to correct it. But that is how you grow and you get to a better place. And it is such a precious commodity right now. I've been wrong.
Starting point is 00:37:09 I've been wrong about political issues. I've been wrong about people. I've been wrong about myself. I've been wrong about my responsibilities. I've been wrong about my opinions, my tastes, my choices. I've been wrong. And that's okay. Hopefully you learn.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Hopefully when you're wrong, you get to a better place if you do the work unless you stubbornly hold on. And that's where so much of us are stuck. It's not just being wrong. It's refusing to learn. what's right. I've been wrong. Have you been wrong? If you say no, you're wrong.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Who? Could I say one thing? Yes. That was, he's not stuck in traffic, number one. He's going 40 miles an hour, number one. But, but, and I, buddy, I love Chris to death. Very, very, I'm happy that he's finally saying something, but I want
Starting point is 00:38:03 to be specific. Like, you can't just say, okay, I was wrong. I'm, Adam, what were you talking about yesterday? I'm wrong a lot, but you know, I learned in life to say, hey, guys, before this even snowballs into something crazy, I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I messed up. Right here, right now.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Okay, Russia collusion, push that narrative. Did you actually say that you were wrong? Like, actually say it. Guys, I was duped, or was it because I was working for a network because that's the narrative. COVID, quarantine, the basement thing, the, like, how many I get it, that's a vague blanket
Starting point is 00:38:36 apology. I think people want to hear, the majority of people want to hear the specific. I was wrong. Okay, I was wrong. They told me to say this this was the narrative at CNN. I couldn't go away. We have sponsors.
Starting point is 00:38:50 We have Pfizer. We have whoever is sponsoring us. I think being specific about it, like can shut everybody up. You know, I was wrong about COVID. Guess what? I took the vaccine. I did this. I want to be more specific.
Starting point is 00:39:01 I think, like you said about business, you're making progress. I think it could be a little bit more nail on the head. Because, by the way, I love you, Chris. You're going 45 miles an hour right there. 45. Adam, your thoughts on this? So I learned something when I was going through some traumatic incidents in my life, and that was
Starting point is 00:39:17 the ego is not your amigo. The biggest problem that people have when they don't want to admit that they're wrong or they have issues, it's like, not me, bro. I would never, no, it was her fault, my boss, no, the hardest thing to do is look at the mirror and be like, you're fucked up,
Starting point is 00:39:33 dude, you messed up, you should have done better. And what happens is, it's a three-part process. Number one, there's immediate discomfort. You're like, I don't really don't. admit this. This isn't really what I want to do. Then you start to feel a little bit better. All right. It's not so bad. And then third, you start to establish credibility and say, you know what? Here's what's happening. And you might go so far as five years ago was the biggest Trump hater. And now Roger Stone sees me and goes, hey, there's Mr. Maga guy, the biggest Donald Trump fan I know.
Starting point is 00:40:02 That's where you're at in the moral arc of the universe. So take it for me. When you're wrong, admit you're wrong, lick your wounds, move on. and go driving traffic like this guy by the way there is a video clip there's a video clip Rob I don't know if you have it I have it somewhere my notes the reason why this is so important to a lot of people and you know on the on the Russia collusion stuff the amount of videos that was said about Russia hacked the election do you know a highlight reel of a number of people that said this. I'm just going to show you a simple one here, Rob, I'm going to text it to you and it was in our notes, but it's so
Starting point is 00:40:46 convoluted that you you're probably going to have a hard time finding. I just sent you to text. Look how many people from different media platforms set the same thing in what way, not in a possibly, allegedly
Starting point is 00:41:01 could be happening, and you should look into it, not verified, no. Look at the way these guys were answering this. Just zoom in. Okay, watch this one here. Go ahead, Rob. Hacking the election to elect Trump is the end of our democracy. Votes were definitely affected.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Russia hacked the election to tilt it to Mr. Trump. The Russians definitively, half the election. Not allegedly. Did hack the election. No doubt. The Russians hacked the election. No doubt. Russia hacked the election.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Fact. Russia hacked the election. Fact. Fact. Fact. President elect Donald Trump still not sounding convinced that Russia hacked the election. The president does not want to come to terms with the fact that the Russians hacked the election. President Trump says he still wonders if, if the Russians hacked the election.
Starting point is 00:41:45 If you can get him to accept that Russia hacked the election, see if you can get him to accept who won the civil war. You just got fired, buddy. Fire. It casts a shadow on his victory over Hillary Clinton. Russia hacked the election. There he is. Looks good. And traffic.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Russia hacked the election. Russia hacked the election. Let's be clear. Russia hacked the election. Definitively. Russia hacked the election. And Russia is doing it again now. related cyber hacking.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Cyber hacking of U.S. elections. Cyber hacking of the election. Russia was cyber hacking the election. Russia was cyber hacking the election. The CIA, the FBI, NSA. All of these intelligence organizations. You can pause right now. Half an hour.
Starting point is 00:42:27 It's literally we can go this for half an hour. The point is the following. This is leading me to the next story, which is America's at a point right now where they're watching on podcast and show. and future media companies. I cannot tell you how many people were approached by on different media companies. Hey, we'd like to do this.
Starting point is 00:42:47 We'd like to do that. We'd like to do this, right? Everybody is having conversations right now on the media space. Rob, if you can go to the previous story, go back, no, you're right there. No, no, go back where you write. Go back to one page, the stories.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Go back one page, Rob. Yeah. So look at the top one that says, who thinks the free press is worth a quarter of a billion dollars. So Barry Wise, okay, goes out there sitting down with David Ellison. Okay, click on the story, Rob, if you could. CBS News.
Starting point is 00:43:14 So who thinks the free press is worth a quarter of a billion dollars? Now, Barry Weiss has done some great interviews, and I think she was part of Twitter files, if I'm not mistaken. And then she did a bunch of different things, Speaker Johnson, interview a bunch of them. Rob, if you can go a little bit lower to read the story. So they're at a point that they're saying, we think our company is worth a quarter of a billion dollars, right?
Starting point is 00:43:34 And 1969 NBC canceled TV series Star Trek. 56 years later, the franchise 13 movies, How is this going to the Barry White story? Go a little bit lower, Rob, to make sure, okay, there it is. What shape or advisory role ultimately takes it still up for grabs, but her reported asking price is a $250 payday for her new site, the free press, which changed its name from common sense and which entirely bypassed a descriptive title like no old rich white guy after further review.
Starting point is 00:44:05 It turns out you were right all along. That's what she's asking for. She can ask for that. No problem, right? Sager, Rob, if you can go to the clip that they have, and these guys have done a great job, the two of them, politically they disagree. I've been on their show before when we talked about Bernie Sanders six years ago. I think I was on there. One time we had a conversation about capitalism, and she was a Bernie supporter at the time.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Here's what he has to say about the ask of a quarter of a billion dollars. Go for it. That's my point. The reason Tim Dillon's sketch hit so hard is because he's right. The whole value comes from her willingness to put it in an intellectual sheen on absolute monstrosities. That's what it is. It's in writing. The Dylan Byers, who's, again, I know this may seem tedious, but this is important for all you guys to understand,
Starting point is 00:44:53 that there are people like us, you know, they're all, listen, Tim Poole's not out there asking for a quarter billion dollars, all right? And he gets 15 times the number of views. He has more reviews than we do. PBD, any of these other folks, none of these folks are out there. You can think whatever you want about them, but, you know, they're running their own businesses. and they're not out there trying to be bought for billions and billions or whatever. And the point, though, in the Barry Weiss case, is that it is entirely an intellectual sheen on pro-Israel and pro-Zionism? If you read about it, David Ellison and others are genuinely only want to buy the free press to support Israel.
Starting point is 00:45:30 That's it. They want to support and put, what's her name, Barry, on the CBS, like, news board as an ombudder. Yeah, so she's going to fill the role as the TikTok IDF lady. Yes, as the censor. And look, do you know why this is crazy? Okay, you can pause it right there. I have my thoughts on this, but Tom, I'm going to go to you first. So Barry Wise, quarter of a billion.
Starting point is 00:45:54 That's her ask. That's what she think the company's worth. He's saying this could be another leg to help out pro-Zionist, pro-Israel. What are your thoughts about this breakdown of what he had to say? First of all, I'm reacting the same as Sagra's. I'm kind of stunned. I'm like, are you kidding me? So, but we saw Skydance jump around billion-dollar increments jumping around on the acquisition of Paramount.
Starting point is 00:46:19 And, you know, Russia interfered with the election. Now we have a new one that is Trump paid a bribe or Trump was paid a bribe in the form of the CBS settlement so that the merger would go through. Yeah. And that he fired Stephen Colbert, but he didn't like him. No, Stephen Colbert got fired because CBS and Paramount finally came to their senses and said, it doesn't work. Nobody's watching. And this is freaking expensive.
Starting point is 00:46:47 And the contract's up. And we're merging. And we're looking for profits. You know what? That one's gone. He's got to go. But guess what? In denial, they do that.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Now you circle all that around. Why am I bringing that up? It's because the value that was being paid there, a quarter of a billion dollars is not much more. and if they're really looking to place her, like, buy the whole thing and then place her into CBS News, they're trying to reach in to the bloggers, which have become podcasters, which have become very influential, and they're trying to put one of those in CBS to bolster it. Remember, what they're trying to do is avoid the ongoing decline of CBS News. And so what do they do?
Starting point is 00:47:30 hey, what if we buy one of these companies, PBD? What if we plug it into CBS News? Will everybody come watch because now we have one of the popular conservative people here? And I see what's going on there. And the other side, I think Sagra's on to something. Does somebody also say, well, and this also could be an opportunity to put a pro-Israel voice on CBS News, which has been leaning in favor of Palestinian protest and supporting Palestinian protests, and not talking about the risk to students.
Starting point is 00:48:03 And now the entire Ivy League, except Dartmouth, is under investigation by the Trump administration for those kind of anti-Semitic, not anti-Semitic by the administration, but allowing anti-Semitic things to be happening on campus and not stepping in to protect students and protect Jewish people and protect Jewish, you know, speakers, professors. There, so that's what I see. You know, CBS News plugging this in. They get little Israel out of it. They get a little podcasts out of it.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Does David Ellison ultimately pay $250 million for it? And Sagger's right. This podcast and others running businesses. And we think we do the best job. Yeah. So that was your point? Yeah. Oh, you're done.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Okay, got it. Okay. So, you know, on a story like this, I looked at Huffpoe when Ariana Huffington sold Huffield, what she sold it for. She sold it to AOL years ago. their top line revenue was around $60 million. They sold over five times revenue. They sold $315 million.
Starting point is 00:49:06 They sold 10 times earnings, okay? But five times revenue. So you're doing 60 million a year? A.O. came in and said, I'll pay you $350 million. They picked up half full. The companies dropped. They don't have the same amount of revenue. They're about to lay off a bunch of different editors right now.
Starting point is 00:49:21 They announced in January 2025. It would cut about 30 editorial roles representing 22% of newsroom, which means, 22% means one-fifth. That means they have 150 people. A fifth is being fired. Say, you know, 30 is going to be fired. They're letting go.
Starting point is 00:49:37 So Huffe was not getting the same amount of viewership. They used to get back in the days in 2000. Back in 2008, 9-10, Huffpo was like the place to be. Of course. It was doing great. I think I sat down with her right after she sold the business. We had a great conversation together. And I even think she ran for governor one time,
Starting point is 00:49:53 going up against Arnold. I even think she debated Arnold one time for a governor race. if I'm not a mistake. Can you verify that? I may be fully wronged, and I'm thinking about somebody else, but did she ever, no, I don't know if she ran. Did she ever know? Did she run for her? No, that was somebody else I think that ran. But let me see here. Did she, divisional conversations, who was the person that he debated that was a media space? I don't know if it was her. It could have been somebody else, but the point is free press today. What is free press is top line revenue, Tom? Do we know?
Starting point is 00:50:21 I've not seen what I would call is a reliable disclosure. So top line revenue. Let's see where it's at right now. What is free press? Press's top line revenue. Can you see that? So free press is reported total revenue. Are you joking? Oh, man. So if they got a $6 million revenue and somebody pays five times revenue, it's a $30 million dollar business, not a $250 million dollar business. So if we use comparisons, like you know how you sell in a house, you say comp, my house is worth $2 million. Why? Because next door neighbor is a hundred square feet smaller than mine. And that's all for $1.9 million. I believe I'm a $2 million business.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Okay, cool. You can do the math. Yeah. But if Huff Poe was sold at a quarter of a billion dollars, at a $60 million revenue, one-tenth of free press, they're worth at best, $30 million. At best is what they're worth is $30 million. But by the way, guess what I don't,
Starting point is 00:51:20 I'm not upset at her asking for a quarter of a billion dollars. If somebody is willing to pay a quarter of a billion dollars, guess what? Good pay day for her. She went up and made her $250 million. whatever the numbers are that other people pick up, we don't have a problem with that. But the point of where I'm going with this, we went from the story of Epstein
Starting point is 00:51:36 to the story of, and by the way, the people that are forcing the Epstein story to be in there is actually not mainstream media. Believe it or not, the people that are making Epstein story stay there is who? Podcasters. Podcasters are now becoming like, give me a break.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Can you guys stop talking about it? Why are you talking about this? Then it goes to Russia. Then he goes to Cuomo, who was one of the faces, saying, I was wrong. We don't know what it is. Maybe we'll invite them and have, I'm on the podcast to have a conversation with it. I'm sure something's going to get scheduled here to have a month
Starting point is 00:52:03 and play the clip opening and saying, what were you wrong about? And then you're going to Barry Weiss, a quarter of a billion dollars, so I'm saying, I don't know if it's good or not. Who knows what's going to happen there? And this leads me to the next one. I got a call. I won't disclose a name until the story comes out because I'm trying to see if this is going to be a hit piece or not.
Starting point is 00:52:22 I got a call from a very well-known New York Times person that she wanted a conversation with me. And we came down, we ended up having a three-hour conversation about a lot of different things. And I sat there and she says, I'm going to be recording this conversation. I said, I'm also going to be recording the conversation, no problem. So everything we talked about was all recorded that I have, everything.
Starting point is 00:52:47 And we talked about industry. What do you think about this company? What do you think about that company? What do you think about this company? What do you think about that company? Back and forth. I was told her right off the bat everybody told me to not meet with you
Starting point is 00:52:59 I told her that she'll probably say this herself I probably told her that 10 times that everybody told me not to meet with you I said they told me it's not a good idea they said to shun away they said you're the worst they said you go after people they say you don't tell the truth
Starting point is 00:53:13 they say you lie they say you exaggerate how could you who said that I'm not going to give you a single name but all I'm telling you is people that I trust that I have a relationship with they don't trust you but I'm willing to sit down with everybody and have a basic rule. You'll always have access to me if you're respectful to me. The moment you,
Starting point is 00:53:29 you know, exaggerate and misrepresent what I said, you'll never get a hold of me. It's very simple how I work. If I can't get a hold of you and we have a relationship together, and then you want me to be accessible to you, I'll always be accessible to you. The moment you take that for granted, we don't need a relationship. I'm moving on and going to a different place. And this applies to people in the media space because the media people will talk to each other. But for whatever reason it is very nasty and ugly in this space. It's so ugly and nasty in a very different way because everyone's like, well, that guy's podcast is throwing down and this guy's podcast is this and that guy's streaming and that guy's everyone's talking like that. Nelk boys, sit down and interview
Starting point is 00:54:06 BB, okay? And even at their beginning of their interview, they're like, oh my God, I don't even know what we're doing here. We're way over our head and we're, you know, should we do this? Should we not do this? And by the way, historically, they've been one of the best. to bring eyeballs of the youth to President Trump. They get a lot of credit for doing this. And even during COVID, they were one of the first guys that did an interview. The video got like 6, 7, 8 million views. Within 24 hours, YouTube took it down.
Starting point is 00:54:32 That was back in the days when interviews of Trump would be taken down. And they did a big interview. So they've done a very good job over the years. Dana White's been a very big supportive of these guys. Behind closed doors, cameras on cameras off. They're freaking great to be around, okay, these guys. Especially Kyle really like him. Steinie's funny as well.
Starting point is 00:54:49 around these guys. They interview BB. Right after interviewing BB, the mob goes after them. How could you? How dare you? You doing softball questions, this, this, that? And here's what they had to say, Rob, if you don't mind playing this clip. Play the clip. It's a good point. Someone said, uh, having Net and Yahoo on is like having
Starting point is 00:55:07 modern day Hitler. No, I saw that. Which is, honestly, guys, I'll be honest. I'm here to to, it's a good point. What's a good point? I, like, we're here to fucking learn, to be honest, guys. good it's a good what what's a good point right let it keep playing that was the end of the clip that was the end of yes sir so they they say this comparing net niahu to hitler and they're saying that's a good point because the market is reacting to them in a very very hardcore way then they get
Starting point is 00:55:40 basim joseph which we've had them on it's so funny the other day people showed a clip of basim joseph when he was on the podcast he had come with terrible back pain middle of the podcast I'm lifting up his shirt and putting a, we got him an icy hot thing to be put it on. I'm putting, what do you call it, stuff for the pain to go in. And afterwards, I cook up on a nice meal and bring him a masseuse to give him a nice massage on his back. Massage at your house. Yeah, my house, yeah. All this stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Bassem Yosef goes on, and this is the clip when they're together at the podcast, and here's how they open it up, okay? Here's how they open it up. You can go back a little bit. Press play. We should have grilled him 50,000, 100,000 times harder, but something we can't get back. and we'll probably all of course but i know you can't get back this like trip in israel but i'm just telling you this was like part of a much bigger propaganda effort right and a country that spends 150 million dollars on its image they they are covering something they are when they spread all of
Starting point is 00:56:36 these propaganda it's like we're not starving people in guys you can pause that right there you can pause it right there if somebody wants to watch your rest they can watch the rest uh by the way they spent 150 we we probably spend tens of billions of dollars to to to make our image clean. Every country spends money on that. It's not in only one country that does it or not. But here's what I would tell you. The point I want to make to you guys is the following. And this is specifically going to the Nell crew, all of them, all the crew there. Dude, you don't have to apologize. Honestly, you guys don't have to apologize. You guys have done
Starting point is 00:57:13 very good work. Very. And you're in the process of learning. You're interviewing people. You don't need to sit there and worry about the mob. F-Y-I. The mob is going to come after you in such ways to make you get on your knees and convince you that you're going to lose all your customers. You're not going to lose your customers. You guys are loved. People love you guys. You truly are loved. The audience, who is the Happy Dad, if you're drinking, if somebody drinks beer here, go buy the Happy Dad beer because these guys are good guys. They're very good guys at what they do. Very.
Starting point is 00:57:51 They're trying to do their best. Young guys coming up, openly talking about the stuff they're doing. These are good guys. But this next phase we're going to, all of these guys that are coming up, God forbid you do an interview that somebody's not happy with. Be very, very careful trying to win over the mob. You're not going to. Let me say it again.
Starting point is 00:58:14 There's different formats of, like even for us, A part of the market, how they look at it. It's so funny when they come and see us. They're like, whoa, you guys got 11 acre land here on the airport. Yes. You guys leased us? No, we own this place. How do you guys have 164 employees?
Starting point is 00:58:29 What do they do here, 163 on any given they were at 164 now? How do you guys have 164 full-time employees? You guys just had 30 people 20 years ago. Last time I came. You guys were in an office in Boka three years ago when I came. What's going on with? Now you guys have a cigar lounge. Now you guys got a platinum lounge.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Now you guys got another. What are you guys doing behind closed doors? We're building a business is what we're doing. And our method of what we're going to, we have the business owner audience. We have entrepreneurs' audience. We understand to small business owners because to me, I believe the backbone of America's small business owners. It's very hard to build a company. We're at a shop here, okay, in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:59:06 The two owners are here. First thing I said is I want to see what the back looks like. They've got a beautiful podcast studio here. I go to the back. All the people have been so nice to us, okay? Adam's put the entire crew to work. I'm so upset at Adam. They're so respectful to us.
Starting point is 00:59:21 They're so nice to us. There's about 11 employees I met. That's hard cost. This is hard. This is not easy. They have to make this thing work and make money doing this. All this camera, all this stuff is, this is hard. So we, like our audience, understand how hard it is to grow a business.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Pay salary, have benefits, keep people happy. You lose somebody. You hire them. You train them. You try to put a good thing together. I just want anybody and everybody that's in the media space. We agree, disagree. I don't care if you're Sager and his partner, I want to say Crystal, is his wife's name,
Starting point is 00:59:59 her name who's married to Kyle Kulinski, who we've had on before. And he was good when we had them on. It's not easy to build a business. It's not easy for any one of them, from the left or right to center, no matter what part you are. But the direction people are going to next, the currency they're going to be looking at is whether you're fair, whether you're consistent, whether you have the ability to reason, and you're willing to talk to anybody and everybody, and that's what you're doing. If you all of a sudden get arrested by the comment section, welcome to miserable life. Because the mob then realizes, ooh, we got a hold of them. We scared them.
Starting point is 01:00:42 We control you. Nope, you can't do that. We're going to send our audience and go in the comment section to bash PPD podcast and comments because what Pat said about Muslims and also, go in the comment section, you won't move us. Go and Nelk boys and scare the crap out of them. Don't let them move you.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Your voice is important. You've done good work, and you're going to get better. It's just going to get better. A 35-year-old Kyle. A 40-year-old Kyle, John in the back, the CEO doing a phenomenal job. These guys are doing good work. But I think on the media space, what we're going to next, it's going to be a very interesting race. And it'll come down to a look.
Starting point is 01:01:27 You know what? Oh, when I watch PBD podcast, they sell shirts and they sell Menex and they sell consulting. Yeah, we sell our businesses instead of taking sponsorship money. So we're not owned by anybody else. We do it because our loyalty is to the truth and the customers. That's what we want to do. If you don't like us and walk away, we're also okay with that. You'll come back.
Starting point is 01:01:48 We understand business. We've been around. We've got thick skin. But I think there's a massive opening right now in a marketplace with media, and it'll be very, very interesting. There's going to be some that no matter where they go, they tear the house down, and they leave, and they blame the company. This happened in insurance a lot.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Every time I interviewed a guy that wanted a job that bashed their previous three companies, I'm going to be the fourth. Any girl you ever date that trashes the previous three boyfriends, you're going to be the fourth. Any guy you date that baches his previous three girlfriends, you're going to be the fourth very soon. That's how this works. No one is perfect.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Everyone's trying to figure this thing out. And on any given day, anyone's going to fall into some kind of a scandal. Well, let me tell you what happened. They just got money from Qatar. They got money from Saudi. They got money from Mossad or Israel. No, they're following. All right, we'll see.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Pump the brakes. Let's see what happens here as more the stories come out. But I hope Barry gets a quarter of a billion dollars that she wants. But Barry realistically on a $6 million revenue with that number is right for 2024, and that's the run rate. You were as of December 31st a $30 million dollar company, which is a very hard thing to do. If people still are willing to pay $250 million for a $30 million auto company, that means you need to write a book on sales and negotiation, period. And people, I would buy it because you sold the company. for what? A bigger valuation than it's really worth. And there's nothing wrong with that. But business
Starting point is 01:03:17 comps, it's a different market we're in today. And I'm so excited about the next 10 years. I am so excited about the next 10 years. Because we're going to see some real nasty things happen the next 10 years. And the next 10 years, we're also going to see some people that nobody expected to come to the top, to come out of nowhere, and become the cream of the crop. And then everyone's going to target that company. You'll see. Be patient. It's coming to a city near you. That's how business and capitalism works. That's what's going to be taking place.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Adam, I think you want to say something. Yeah, I love that entire perspective. So most people are obsessed with other people's opinions. Most people are imprisoned by other people's thoughts and feelings. Most people are trying to keep up with the Joneses. Free yourself from the prison of what other people think. I've learned this the hard way. The hardest thing to do is not give a flu.
Starting point is 01:04:12 lip about what other people have to say. Let's put these things in order. Number one, keyboard warriors. Adam, you suck. At this point, water off my back. Doesn't matter. I'm just kidding. Doesn't matter to me.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Number two, do you have many friends I have? Friends that go, I can't believe you voted for Trump. I can't believe you would sit down with Nick Fuentes. I can't believe that you would associate with Andrew Tate. I can't believe that you would talk to Candace Owens. Oh, yeah? Shut the fuck up. This is what we do.
Starting point is 01:04:44 We talk to people. We hear the truth. The last thing that's liberating is your closest friends and family. There's friends and family in my life. Why do you do this? Why do you travel? Why do you have to go this? Why do you do this?
Starting point is 01:04:57 You could also shut the F up. Because this is what we do. Thank God. I'm going to give Peebidi a shout out. That we have a leader with a backbone who says, don't apologize. We had a situation recently where they add them. They want you to apologize. No, you don't have to.
Starting point is 01:05:12 This is what we do. When you have conviction and you stand for something, you don't have to go anywhere. As far as what the Nelk boys did, I think they're great. I think Kyle's a nice dude. They should have done better. To read a comment and say, wow, we interviewed Bibi Netanyahu, the modern-day Hitler. Oh, okay, that's fair. Really, bro?
Starting point is 01:05:33 Is that actuality, the reality? B.B. Nettingyahu is the modern-day Hitler? Modern-day Hitler. Are you freaking kidding me? And Basim Yusuf can go on all these podcasts and criticize Israel. Why can't Basim Yusuf go back to Egypt? Why can't he go back to the country that he's from? Because in the country you're from, you can't criticize the government.
Starting point is 01:05:56 You can't criticize the government in Iran. You can't criticize the government of Egypt. You can't criticize the government of Syria. You'll end up dead. You can criticize the government in Israel, no problem. And to the whole camp that goes, well, You can't criticize Israel. What's the one people?
Starting point is 01:06:13 What's the run country? You can't criticize it. Are you fucking kidding me? Adam, at this point, bro. Sorry. All I hear. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:06:21 We had dinner last minute. This upsets me because all I hear... No, no, no. Because all I hear is that you can't criticize Israel, and all I hear are F you, die, Jew, kill yourself. These are two different, separate things. I'm sorry. I'm fired up here.
Starting point is 01:06:35 But when half the world hates you, deal with it and get tough. because the whole notion that Israel can't be criticized the whole notion that BB and audio can't be criticized that's all they do I think you've branched over and go ahead Vinnie I just want to say one thing and I understand where you're coming from
Starting point is 01:06:53 and I get your passion it's all good I'm sorry about you're the angry patriot at this point but I don't think it's that I think it's when you want to criticize Israel there's two labels your anti-Semitic means you hate all Jews or you support Hamas that is a big problem
Starting point is 01:07:09 Because the moment you can't say, wait a minute, there are starving kids in Gaza. They are shooting open fire on people that are just trying to get food. Those kids aren't terrorists. And to have an attitude like, well, they're going to grow up to hate Jews and they're going to want to kill Jews. Let's just shoot them. That's the problem. It's not that if you can't criticize without being labeled and sticking up for the children and the innocent people, bro, that's the disconnect. It's not all Jews.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Vinny, just so you know, you're right. he's right. Yes. But it's not Hitler. Oh, no. Yeah. No, I'm not agreeing to that. What are we talking about? No, I'm not agreeing to that. What are we to, no, I want to make sure you qualify that. Oh, yeah. We're not talking about Hitler. Absolutely not. We are talking about somebody who is a true believer in his cause. His name is Bibi. And it's not your cause. Yes. And you can disagree with them. Yes. But to all of a sudden, have that category as here. Oh, that's what's going on. No, that's a horrible comparison. And by the way, over here, last. night, my son, we go to, I don't know where, I don't want to say what we had dinner. Last time we have dinner, we're doing a convention here. There's going to be around 10,000 people here. I was just at the award ceremony in the morning. Quick shout out to Moral Tikran and the whole crew, phenomenal job on the opening video. I want to watch the opening video at 7am with my daughter, Senna, who is my number one road dog. She was there with me just watching it. And then we came here. And then we came here. But last night, we're at this place where
Starting point is 01:08:38 having dinner. How cool was that conversation at dinner? Fantastic. Amazing. It was like, and Tico is standing just going like this and watching Tom. And by the way, listening to Tom at these types of dinners, I'm telling you, you get so much smarter just listening to Tom with his experience of faith and then Adam and Tom talking about, you know, what it is to be a Jew and Christianity and then you jumping in there and just back and forth all of us. It was such a great dinner. That's a regular thing for us. The only thing, the reason why I'm getting upset at Adam is I'm asking specifically, stop dropping F-bombs. I've asked them so many times.
Starting point is 01:09:16 I don't like it. My bad, sir. Because when I do other things, guess says it? Guess says it. Kids are watching us. People want to put their kids in front of this. I'm not a fan of that. I've told you this hundreds of times privately.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Now you're forced me to say to you publicly. That's fair. Don't do that to me after I just had a conversation with yesterday. You're absolutely right. All right. And I'll say one thing. Yeah. I apologize.
Starting point is 01:09:37 I tried to say flip a few times. But guess what? And I apologize. You got a control, because the targeting is not going to change. True that. Yeah, I'm at a place right now where my position is very simple. Yesterday, you know what's one of the conversations we had about Christians, Jews, and Muslims? How long does it take to become a Muslim?
Starting point is 01:09:56 What was the number? 30 seconds. They ask you to say a prayer. They direct you to some things. And then they say, okay, now come along with me on the journey. How long does it take to be a Christian? Similarly, 30 seconds, you understand who Christ is, you accept that, and then you go on a journey. How long does it take to become a Jew?
Starting point is 01:10:12 A couple of months, years. It takes a while. I think they ask you to go to classes and things like this. No, realistically, how long does it take to become a Jew? It actually takes a few years. Like, Jews do not evangelize. No Jews trying to recruit Jew. Actually, think about it.
Starting point is 01:10:27 When is the last time a Jew came to you talking to you about becoming a Jew? Never. Never with me. Never. And I've been around a lot of them. Well, I'd like to talk to you guys. By the way, last, I had a guy, a friend of mine, I won't say his name, but he's Muslim. He came, I brought him to the house, we made a meal, we sat down, we gave him food,
Starting point is 01:10:44 we had a great conversation together, and then he takes out a backpack full of Korans and books, and he gives it to me, he says, I want to talk to you about a religion of Islam, religion of peace, in my house. Try to pitch you Islam in your house. By the way, I respect it. I don't say it in a negative way. I respect the fact that you have the audacity to. come to my house after I feed you to tell me about your religion. That's never happened to me
Starting point is 01:11:09 with Jews. So what is Jews vision and outcome? What are they trying to do? You know, maybe they want to control media. Maybe they want to control. Maybe, by the way, would I be surprised if the Jewish community goes and tries to buy up 50 podcasts the next three years? I would not be surprised. Would I be surprised if Qatar goes and buys 30 or 40? No. Would I be surprised? Would I be surprised if Russia could I be surprised if some new Soros of the other side get started and buys podcast that the messaging is what pro America pro yeah I'm not surprised this is what's going to happen this is the direction we're going the next five I'm telling you the next five 10 years back in the days that's something called the Oklahoma land rush you're going to see the media
Starting point is 01:11:58 rush the next five to 10 years for influence and a lot of people are going to get dropped and destroyed. Because a lot of people will slow down because of money, fame, bad habits, cocaine, drugs, gambling, dumb shit. And some of the people you just pay them a little bit of money and they're going to walk away. The race for media is going to be very, very interesting the next five or ten years. All right, let's go to the next story. The next story has nothing to do with media. It has to do with you guys making babies. It's very simple because we're not doing enough of it, okay? U.S. birth rate hits an all-time low folks. CDC says, all-time low at one point 59. Never in the history of America have you hit 1.59. That's absolutely terrible for America to continue
Starting point is 01:12:44 getting bigger. Terrible to be at 1.5. Let me read with this number to you. The fertility rate in the U.S. dropped to an all-time low, 1.59, children being born per women, inching down from a 1.62 in 2003. According to the U.S. Center of Disease Control, CDC, National was once amongst a few developed countries and a rate-insured generation replacement in about 2.1 kids per women, but it has been sliding down for nearly two decades. As more women wait longer to have children or opt out entirely, Leslie Root, a university, Colorado-Bolda researcher, focused on fertility and population policy said, we're seeing that as part of an ongoing process on fertility delay, we know that the U.S. population is still growing, and we
Starting point is 01:13:28 still have a natural increase, more birds than that. Rob, can you pull up the number history of birth rate in U.S.? If you can't just pull it up going all the way back? I'd be curious to know what that looks like. Tom, your thoughts on the story here. 1.59. Well, guess
Starting point is 01:13:44 what? Once upon a time we had a baby boom because men came home from serving in the war. Some didn't at the end of World War 2. God rest their souls, thank you for their service to the family. and we had a baby boom because they came home and the country of freedom had a booming economy, things were going on, and the baby boom was a result of people coming home to have families.
Starting point is 01:14:09 You know, God tells us be fruitful and multiply, and it was a largely Judeo-Christian construct there. And now what we have is we devalue life, you know, kids are an inconvenience, kids who are a financial hardship, kids are this, and we're forgetting what it's there. We then turn away from marriage and we're married less than ever. And we now look back and we say, no, wait a minute, what's happened? We're not getting married. We're not having families. We're not forming a family.
Starting point is 01:14:42 And we're having fewer kids. Well, when you tell everybody that the value of a human life is negligible and is circumstantial because it's all for the best and maybe you could just have the abortion now, maybe it's all for the best, and you make it circumstantial financial, then you tell everybody about the value of women's independence and things, and you lose family. You lose family. So you lose family as a construct that helps build countries, and then you look back years later and you look at charts, you go, hey, wow, people are having fewer kids, and that's what's
Starting point is 01:15:17 happened over time. Pat, this is the outcome. You know, at times I talk about upstream, downstream. It's not my theory as this is real. Upstream, we devalued the family. We devalued human life. We told men and women that they didn't have really wonderful roles in society. We told one was better than the other and one was better than the other.
Starting point is 01:15:38 And we did that. And now downstream, what do we have? You know, a shrinking, you know, families in America where this used to be just the most wonderful thing is this, you want to have three kids? Have three kids. you know, Kim and I would have had more, you know, the calendar cut up with us because we got married late. And I know, Pat, you said you would have had more. I would have 20. Exactly. So it's not. And by the way, when I say 20, people honestly, they laugh, but you're dead serious.
Starting point is 01:16:07 They think I'm joking. Yeah. I know you're saying. I would have 20 kids. I believe you. Yeah. People look at you like, oh, okay. Yeah. Whatever. This isn't a, this isn't sarcasm or joke. I would have 20 kids. By the way, do you know when was the highest we ever hit, birth rate in America? You know what the number? The number? Three and a half. We hit 3.77 in 1957. The baby boom.
Starting point is 01:16:31 That's right. 3.77 in 1957. A couple of things to be thinking about, Rob. Can you pull up the average price of a home in 1957? Now we have financial stresses on people. Average price of a house in 1957. was what? Sorry, that's a wrong year. And do you have a multiple on income? You put 1857. Rob just went back 100 years. Sorry. That's Civil War vibes. He's like,
Starting point is 01:17:00 1957, the average price of a house was 12,220. Can you tap in the average income? Oh, right there. It says it right there. Income is $5,000. So what is the average? So $5,000. $2.4.4. What is that today? What is the home to price income ratio in 2025? Shout out to Roth. 2025, yeah. Typer. In 20205, 2.4, that number is going to be, damn, that is insane, guys. Until we figured that out, five times.
Starting point is 01:17:41 Wow. It's five times. That's tough. And you can talk about the property tax insurance costs that are on top of that. Yeah. Yeah. on top of that and 57 that was very low and and Hillary Clinton who comes out and says you know since Americans are not having kids this is why we need immigration to come through here
Starting point is 01:18:04 meaning she was defending why we had you know 15 million people come through whatever that number is she says this is why we need immigration because we're not Americans are not having a lot of kids what about if we go on a campaign of people making you know having families having kids what if we go back into the hero-making machine. Is that the one where she says that? Yes, sir. Yeah, that's the one, Rob. How many minutes is it? Two minutes, 23. I can see if I can find a shorter one. See how long it takes for it to get into it. Can you listen
Starting point is 01:18:31 to it yourself before you bring it to us? Why don't you do that? So I think to me, if we're, which by the way, Sidney Sweeney, man, shout out to her. I love her. Four billion impressions after that commercial. Four billion? Four billion? Four billion impressions. Holy moly. Yes. $65 million. a free marketing dollar spent
Starting point is 01:18:52 for American Eagle. Valuation went up $300 million. Her cue score went up. Americans looking at a girl like, oh my God, you know, I can now go back to being attracted to natural looking girls. And she got a
Starting point is 01:19:08 shout out from Trump because Trump found out that that apparently, I didn't even know Sweeney was a Republican. Watch this one here. Go ahead, Rob. She's a registered Republican Any thoughts on that? That who was? Sidney's a very hot actor's rank. She's a registered Republican?
Starting point is 01:19:26 Oh, now I love her ad. Is that right? Is Sidney Swinney? Now I love her. You'd be surprised at how many people are Republican. He's right. That's what I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that.
Starting point is 01:19:39 If Sidney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic. Thank you very much, Jim. He's always having fun. You know, he was on the roof today. He was on the roof of the White House. Yeah, he was on the roof today. But staying on this point here with kids,
Starting point is 01:19:55 okay, you know, having the kids. Finney, do you have any thoughts on that story with hitting 1.59? I mean, just sitting here listening to it, like, as soon as you started it, and I was just like, you know, it's time to get active, not just blindly going. I need a girl. I need to have a kid, but being more intentional about who you're in Vegas. You mean, it's just like...
Starting point is 01:20:15 I get it, but I mean... Wait till we get back to Florida, at least. I would wait. Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, I've stuff in the pipeline. No, I would, I would wait. I would wait until we get back. But being intentional...
Starting point is 01:20:24 Vinny's actually really thinking about it right now, right afterwards. To pull the trigger? You're going to go find him a suit. Yeah, no, but I think being more intentional and putting yourself in a situation where you're going to meet someone, filter out... Like, going to a nightclub right now and meeting a girl and expecting to start a family is... It's stupid. I think Adam disagrees with you on that.
Starting point is 01:20:43 Go ahead, Adam. It may be old school, but I have some Cologne for you and some old Barry White CDs. Yeah, but I mean, it's like the numbers, what do we talk about here? Words talk, numbers scream. The numbers are screaming, and it's loud and, yeah, I think getting active is... Adam, what's on your mind on this? I think in America, we need to make moms great again. So in America, in my experience, we are way more focused on individualism than collectivism and improving society.
Starting point is 01:21:12 everyone wants to do what's right for them and I'm totally understanding of that I'm actually in the selfish camp Pat and I talk about being selfish versus selfless the time frame for a man to be selfish is a little bit different for a woman to be selfish so remember when
Starting point is 01:21:28 the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs Harrison Bucker Harrison Bucker went and gave a speech in front of the Catholic school and he's like congratulations on graduating everybody but quick point ladies don't focus on career. Focus on family. Career will not fulfill you. Family will. And then the women in the crowd are
Starting point is 01:21:48 like, whoa, it just graduated. Let me at least get a job before you give me this lecture. And I'm here to tell you this. Harrison Booker is absolutely right. Going down the path where you're putting your career first and you never have a family as a woman is very problematic. Now, as a man, I also encourage you to eventually have kids. I don't have kids yet. I've had a lot of practice. But eventually I want to have kids and I will have multiple kids. That is my plan. But the difference between a man being in his 40s versus a woman being under 40s, a man, I think there's an 80 plus percent chance of a man in his 40s with no medical involvement whatsoever to have kids. That's with no medical involvement. A woman in her 40s, there's less than a 10% chance without medical
Starting point is 01:22:35 involvement to have kids. So the odds are not on your side. For the gentlemen out there, if you want to be selfish if you're in your 30s or 40s and make your money and wait to have kids totally understand. For women to do that, there's going to be a very problematic situation. I'm not telling women to go back in the kitchen, but by the time you go back in the kitchen, you might not be able to have a baby.
Starting point is 01:22:55 What's that? One on the oven? Make daddy a sandwich. Yeah, I think that's true. Now, can I address one thing what Hillary Clinton said about immigration? Immigration. By the way, let's have them actually play the clip and let's react to it. Go ahead, Rob. The people who produce the most children in our country are immigrants, and they want to deport them. So none of this adds up, but one of the reasons why our economy did so much better
Starting point is 01:23:18 than comparable advanced economies across the world is because we actually had a replenishment because we had a lot of immigrants legally and undocumented who had a, you know, larger than normal by American standards family. So this is just another one of their, you know, Make America Granted. great again by returning to the lifestyles and the economic arrangements of not just the 1950s. I mean, let's keep going back as far as we can and, you know, see what happens. I can't believe people pay for her to talk. There's a lot of code.
Starting point is 01:23:59 There's a lot of code that goes in those discussions. And I find it disgusting because there was a lot of Democrats that were devaluing immigrants. Oh, who will cut your grass? Who will do that? Really? So you need immigrants here and you're only and you're you're basically, you know, going to, here comes a word, segregate them into the menial side of society, menial jobs? Shame on you. How can you say that? Oh, well, we need immigrants for this. We need you. So you're saying you need immigrants for your standard of living? I'm sorry. That repulses me. And I see, I heard a lot of code and some dog whistles in the statements that were made by Hillary Clinton there. And I'm not buying it. And I don't think anybody that's come to this country should stand for it. Stand up. Find yourself a career, find yourself a place. Build your family here.
Starting point is 01:24:43 But come here legally. But the whole conversation was involved around making babies and who's making babies and immigration. So America in the future will be Hispanic. The Latinos, the Latino women, are making the most babies. I think their fertility rate is above three. Whereas Christians, white women are, what's the number of 1.6, whatever it is. Now, religious, Orthodox, Jews, they have the highest rate.
Starting point is 01:25:09 But they're not going to be taken over anytime soon. Very few of them. So America will become Hispanic sooner rather than later. Conversely, the Europe, the UK, France, will be Muslim in no time. What is the number one baby name in England in the UK? It's not Chandler, it's not Kyle, it's not Willem, it's freaking Mohammed. Muhammad is number one and it's going to happen in Brussels
Starting point is 01:25:40 it's going to happen in Paris it's going to happen all over the UK it's going to happen all over the EU and most people in Europe you're going to either convert or die in the next 50 years and I'm not being shocking and I'm not being bombastic
Starting point is 01:25:54 it's going to happen so either Europe's going to fight back or they're just going to become Muslim now why would I say something like this because when it comes to immigration, there's two key points. There's either assimilation or domination. I see evidence we talk about America becoming Hispanic, all good. Miami, half my friends are Latinos, they're Jamaicans, they're Puerto Ricans, they're Venezuelans, they're Colombians, they assimilate to America,
Starting point is 01:26:22 no problem whatsoever. Show me situations where Muslims go into a country and do not end up dominating. By the way, every single Muslim city that is in Middle East today was formerly Christian. Beirut, Baghdad, Damascus, Tehran, all these cities, Cairo, were all Christian. They are now Muslim now. I respect the hell out of what the Muslims are doing, because they're not playing games. They're here to dominate, and you can either get run over or you can fight back. And in America, I'm totally comfortable with Latinos taken over, especially big booty Latinas. I am not comfortable with Muslims running America.
Starting point is 01:27:06 Well, listen, coming to a city near you and Mamdani yesterday was with Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren saying this is exactly what we need for the Democratic Party. We need exactly somebody like a Mamdani, and this is where the Democratic Party needs to go next. I'm not even going to get into that story. I'm just saying that's what they were talking about yesterday. But I want to get into another story here in regards to business. Rob, I'm going to go to the where's the buying out pay. Okay, there it is.
Starting point is 01:27:37 Okay. So buying out pay later loans, a generation is turning to buy now pay later for Botox and concert tickets. This is a Wall Street Journal. So can you imagine people are using buying out pay later for Botox and concert tickets, page 16? So buying our payday loans is the worst thing for consumers since payday loans, the BMPL. Stats are finally coming out that has become financially destructive force with a 2023 transunion report showing BMPL usage, sort 43% in a year, 40% of users missing at least one payment, often facing hefty late fees and aggressive collections,
Starting point is 01:28:17 and a report came up showing indicating that in households charge in insufficient funds, fee, 85% would also charge an overdraft fund. BMPL is a dangerous because it doesn't feel like debt. Masking the risk by presenting payments as a $25 a week is an illusion, and it's getting bigger and bigger. Ashland Dagger, 22 years old, use BMPL loans from a firm, a financial technology company starting at 18 years old with a 30% interest rate loan for $1,100 mattress, later financing groceries,
Starting point is 01:28:49 haircuts, eyelash extensions, leading to nearly 40, $600 in debt with $770 of $1 monthly payment. She said initially it starts off with necessities, and to me it was just $20 a month. Here, $20 a month. They're not $1,000 debt, a June report that Bank of American Institute noted a surge in such loans amongst young Americans who face a tougher employment picture and higher prices using them for necessities. Yadira-Lara 28 finance a $900 Botox and filler injections with Klarna.
Starting point is 01:29:21 Now, think about that, okay? And a Swedish by now, a TikTok video, before you come at me with who has that kind of money, Klarna does, and you can use Shine Amazon Temu, use it for your face,
Starting point is 01:29:34 okay, just make payments on it. That's what she's saying. And now you're seeing data for National Bureau of Economic Research. Klarna reported 17% year-over-year increasing consumer credit losses hitting $136 million on the first quarter. Tom, we've talked about BMPL before.
Starting point is 01:29:49 By the way, is this the lady that's talking about she used? the she used the yeah that's her right there yes time your thoughts on the story so we've been talking about this for a while and if you go back in history and you can go back about 15 years the auto industry wanted to sell more cars so they started doing what's called subprime auto loans subprime was their term for the lower half of the middle class subprime borrowers so there was higher risk but higher interest rates and the auto industry loved it because they were able to sell more cars to say you can get in the car with the payment, not telling them that that $1,500,000
Starting point is 01:30:28 Toyota Toyota Corolla was going to cost you almost $20,000 by the time you're done with that 14% loan. So that's typically how sectors of the economy have used alternative financing to get to next levels of consumers. And unfortunately, those levels of consumers are thinking payment. they're not thinking about ultimate cost. Guess what? BNPL originally was not on credit reports. And on this podcast, we were screaming about it saying people don't necessarily understand what they're doing.
Starting point is 01:31:02 And we saw what happened on Black Friday. Remember that, Vinnie? We were looking at those Black Friday stats. And then what happened on Valentine's Day? Happy Valentine's Day. I'm missing a payment. Missing a payment on the TV that I bought at 18% or more interest rate. Now, within the last 12 months, we, on this podcast, we cheered when BNPL had to be on your credit report.
Starting point is 01:31:25 Why is that important? The credit report is an important mechanism so that consumers know what they can afford, but they're also rated appropriately, and consumers with legislation about how these mechanisms work could be controlled on who can say, hey, you don't qualify. Why don't I qualify? You have too much debt. What do I have too much debt on? And there could be some sort of a counseling or a discussion or a triggering mechanism to get them to do it.
Starting point is 01:31:50 And then credit card companies are giving you free access to your credit report. That's a good thing. Now we're seeing here BNPL is being used for things like Botox. BNPL average is almost six months. I looked up this morning and they said, Botox in your forehead or for wrinkles in your face is about a three and a half month. then the Botox wears off, and by the time you get to four and five months, the wrinkles and things are coming back.
Starting point is 01:32:18 So that means that if you keep BNPL for an average of five and a half, six months, it's a month and a half after the Botox is worn off. And you've, and you're saying that's been your experience. It's horrible. Let me take a look on it. I gave up on it. Tom, you don't look a day over 60. I stopped the Botox for this reason.
Starting point is 01:32:37 And they put the BNPL on my credit report. I was all pissed off. Yeah, it's all good. But the point here is now. We are getting into teenagers and young people in their 20s, young adults who are putting this using BMPL because to sell you the Botox, guess what they're doing? If your credit card doesn't have enough limit and say, oh, PayPal, well, PayPal is connected to my checking account, my credit cards. Oh, ah, I can go to Klarna and a firm. And then Klarna and Affirm talk about, Klarna says, 136 million in your consumer credit losses.
Starting point is 01:33:12 is turning out to be not a convenience to turn purchasing a TV. Tom, the reality of it is the following. Here's the reality of it. You know, the other day, I'm driving in my car with Brooklyn and, no, Senna and Dylan. And Dylan says, I think they should make cigarettes illegal if it kills people. Really? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:33:35 How many people do you think died from cigarettes versus car accidents? I don't know. I said, so we looked at the numbers, whatever. the number was 30,000 people die every year from car accidents and then a number of people that die from cigarettes. It was astronomical, like 10 times more, like give or take. I think if the numbers shows up, yeah, cigarettes, 480 car accidents, 40,000. I said 40,000 people die from car accidents every year. Should we make cars illegal? No. Should we make cigarettes illegal? Yes. Why? Well, because I think we should make it illegal. Should we make alcohol illegal? I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:34:07 Why not? Alcohol also kills a lot of people. Why just... So the reality, of it is the following, you go to the store, you have to control yourself from not using it. We can put the onus on the companies, but if you can't afford to buy something, don't buy it. If you can't afford to go buy something that's out of your league and you're trying to impress somebody, don't do it. First time I bought a Rolex that was 35 years old. I could have afford a Rolex at 26 years old. I didn't buy Rolex until I was 35 years old. And I have a need to. I waited. I put the cash aside to kind of be. So I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, do understand when we make these videos and the stuff that we say about BMPL and what they're
Starting point is 01:34:47 doing in credit card companies, all this other stuff. You know what I found? I wish I would have brought my back by. I brought a bunch of props to show. I found a financing company in Clarksville, Kentucky, called FMAQ. FMAQ, if you're still around, you guys got me good at 18 years old. What does that F stand for? Financial. Type in FMAQ, what is it? If it's the word I'm thinking of, I'm just going to apologize in advance. Type in FMAX, Clarksville. Can you type in FMAC? They're probably out of business. They're probably not even around.
Starting point is 01:35:15 Type in F. Matt Clarksville just in a one word drop. F. Mac Clarksville. And if you just put it in Google, it should come up. Just put it in Google. Let's see what comes up. F. Matt Clarksville. I remember these guys. No, no, it's F. Matt Clarksville.
Starting point is 01:35:31 So I'll find what the name of it. I have the old contract. I bought a Mitsubishi Eclipse in 1997. It's a great car, actually. Do you know what my interest rate was on the car, Tom? At least 20%. What year? 1997.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Double digits. Double digits. I will say 14 to 16. 31%. Unbelievable. I'm going to show it. Unbelievable. Tomorrow night.
Starting point is 01:35:53 31% for Mitsubishi Eclipse. Credit cards. We're putting it on a credit card. We're happening at 2875. Tom, when I show it to you today, if I have the back. Mateo, do we have my, did I bring my backpack with us here? Did you see me carrying a backpack? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:36:06 I think I just brought my iPad. If I had it out, which it was a red Mitsubishi Eclipse, It was a 1990 Mitsubishi eclipse It was a used one I couldn't afford a random one app So that's the one right there Look at that Sick
Starting point is 01:36:18 A great car Turbo That's you Man's got so many stories And it's not even funny Look how beautiful that car is Red Mitsubishi Clips 31%
Starting point is 01:36:27 So let me ask you Is it F Max's fault No Or is it PBD's fault It's PBD's fault A part of it You're going to go to I just want PBD
Starting point is 01:36:37 to be given All the information When he purchased it I'm fully with you I am fully with you. But then, then you know what? Be smart, be dumb. Read it, don't read it.
Starting point is 01:36:45 It's on the consumer. It's on you. So what I'm trying to say is the word that you talk about with the kids is what? Restrain. Restrain. Restrain. Adam, thoughts on this before we move on to the next one. Most people are sleepwalking with their finances while daydreaming of their dream life.
Starting point is 01:37:04 I see it all the time. Buy Now Pay Later is just a symptom of a larger problem, which is that people, are just obsessed with stuff. People are obsessed with things and then people end up becoming obsessed with debt. It starts with student loans 6%. All right, that's 50 grand.
Starting point is 01:37:22 Okay, boom. Then you get credit cards. That's 25%. You want to go get a nice Mitchabichi eclipse. You're paying 31% before you know it. Then you get buy now, pay later. That's another 30%. Then you end up doing payday loans. 300%. Cash advances.
Starting point is 01:37:38 300%. Do you ever wonder why the average household in America? Do you know what the average household debt in America is? 100 grand. Every single person in America is minus $100,000 if you do the math. Why is this? Because we all go to school. We take the same useless classes, algebra, biology, chemistry.
Starting point is 01:37:57 Gender studies. No money classes. Gender, Vinny did his gender studies. He's looking great. No money classes. So we sleepwalk throughout life and we wonder, why am I not rich? everyone's rich out there why am I not rich the average person this is when my whole thing is the average person will be broke the broke person will stay poor rich people will continue to get
Starting point is 01:38:19 rich why it's not because they try harder it's because they're better that's an element is can they just understand money better so my pat you asked is it on the is it on the bank the car is it on you it's on you it's why it's called personal finance okay why are some kids raised better than others because it's on the parent to teach the kids it's on you to get better with your money yeah i i'm i'm with it i'm with it i i think no matter who you are whatever you're doing you know use that money for books conferences events waste of online courses that's going to teach you how to code and by the way whether it's you there's plenty of places to go to learn how to code my son is taking an online course right now on coding you know why watch this here i'll give you
Starting point is 01:39:07 two stories. Parents, this is for you. Listen up. Share it with your kids. Kids, if you're listening, I want you to pay attention to the story. If you're 10 to 17 years old, even 8 to 17 years old, pay attention to the story. Meta to the old folks, Facebook. This is out $250 million. It's a quarter of a billion dollars to not a 50-year-old engineer, not a 40-year-old, Not a 30-year-old. A.24-year-old AIWiz kid. We have reached the climax of the revenge of the nerd. Whose stories?
Starting point is 01:39:45 I'm going to give you. That's one of them. The other one I tell you, you will be shocked. Rob, can you pull up the New York Post story first, and then we'll go to the Wall Street Journal story? Parents, listen up, parents. Watch this. So, Meta offered this 24-year-old researcher Matt Dyke.
Starting point is 01:40:04 I'm going to pronounce the last name properly. I didn't say the, I said, D-E-I-T-K-E, okay, a $250 million compensation package doubling an initial offer of $150,000, $25,000, offer after he, who dropped out of a University of Washington computer science doctoral program, turn it down with Professor David Autor, an economist at MIT, telling the post on Friday when computer scientists are paid like professional athletes, we have reached the climates of Revenge of the NERDS. Daiti, who led development of the Momo AI chatbot at Seattle's Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, co-founded Vercept, a startup focused on autonomous AI agents, joined meta-superintelligence labs, his work on 3D database, data assets, and multimodeled models, literally says multimodal models earned an outstanding paper award in 2022.
Starting point is 01:41:00 met as aggressive talent acquisition, including a billion dollars spent to build an all-star AI roster, Sao Dike, deal as one of the largest in corporate history with Roaming Pank, former head of Apple AI modern teams, also lured for $100 million. And by the way, all of the stuff that was said, that's not even the biggest one. Rob, can you go to the Wall Street Journal one? Look at this one, folks. Thanks for your billion-dollar offer, Mark Zuckerberg, but I'm going to pass. What? Did you hear this?
Starting point is 01:41:31 That's unbelievable. Guy gets a billion-dollar job offer, and he says no. Look at that story. The loyalties and larger-than-life figures prompting some people to turn down insanely lucrative offers in Silicon Valley. He offered, originally, a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar compensation package, potentially worth $1.5 billion dollars over six years to Andrew Tulloch, a leading research and co-founder of Thinking Machines Lab,
Starting point is 01:41:57 founded by former Open AI Chief Technology, Officer Mira, Batulak, and all colleagues rejected the offer. Zuckerberg initially tried to buy Thinking Lab machines, thinking machine labs, and after Marathi declined that he targeted over a dozen of its roughly 50 employees, with metal spokesman Andy Stone calling the offer's description, inaccurate and ridiculous, noting compensation depends on stock performance. Professor David Arthur and MIT economists told the post, when computer signed, the same line that we got here. So, Tom, quarter of a billion dollar.
Starting point is 01:42:31 A billion dollar offer gets turned down. What is going on here with these engineers? Well, let's go find out what's going on with these engineers. Here's what's going on with the engineers. There is an AI land rush that is going on right now. And meta, and here comes, this is the biz doc, quick case study. Meta, for two years, we've been seeing more headlines, Vinny, about people using Facebook in its old way,
Starting point is 01:42:56 or have we been finding men, this is bad for girls, this is bad for young kids, 14-year-olds shouldn't be on this? Australia slams Mark Zuckerberg's hand in the door with legislation. Remember that? Under 16? Going on that. So guess what? Meta has to get in the game. They create the superintelligence lab. Google has Gemini and Google's market cap right now. I'll tell you in one second. Google market cap right now 2.368. trillion, meta only 1.9 trillion, Microsoft 4 trillion. So you've got Google is running Gemini. That's their play. Microsoft is putting autopilot everywhere. You can't get away from autopilot. Keep showing up everywhere you're going. And so meta has to get into AI race and they need to have
Starting point is 01:43:47 something. Mark Zuckerberg says it's going to be the super intelligence lab. That's what our product is. That's what our play is going to be. And they have poached about. big guy from Apple two and a half weeks ago. Now then, let's talk about that's what's happening. So they're poaching talent. Silicon Valley has been poaching talent forever. You used to, during COVID, you would, Pat talked about it on the podcast. During COVID, we talked about Pat. At lunch, a guy would walk across the street, have a 15% bigger offer, come back to his boss and say, hey, at lunch, I ran a guy in line at Quiznos. And I could get, instead of 150, I could get, you know, a 170.
Starting point is 01:44:25 What do you say? Hang on a second. All right, we'll give you 175 to stay. And all of a sudden, you had a lunch raise. But now those days kind of ended. This is the land rush. So why are these numbers so big? Because they are putting stacks of stock in front of them saying, you know, and by the way, these are half million dollar and million dollars salaries that are underneath this.
Starting point is 01:44:46 These are big salaries. But then they're putting the stock on top of it. And the compensation guy there at Meta said, hang on man you were also reporting he was correct that quote that was at the very end of what pat just read said oh well there's a lot of stock here and you don't understand about the future value it could be this it could be that or it could be a billion bucks but they that doesn't change the fact that they're making big big offers and meta trying to get superintelligence going competing with gemini competing with perplexity competing with autopilot and with facebook getting pressures internationally
Starting point is 01:45:21 on usage. This is basically Mark Zuckerberg's next innovative campaign and next product thrust. Adam, your thoughts. The first thing that comes to mind is let's get those nerds! Have you ever seen the movie The Revenge of the Nerds? Every single one of them. It's the best movie.
Starting point is 01:45:37 It's amazing. It's an 80s underdog story where these bullied nerds basically get their revenge on the jocks. You liked Booger. There was a guy ogre, right? These guys, these nerds end up outsmarting, out hustling, outwitting, out partying the jocks, and they end up getting
Starting point is 01:45:59 the girl, the notoriety, and then they win the competition in the end. But the long, the message here is that over time, if you play the long game, brains are going to beat Braun every single time. The pocket protector, so to speak, is going to beat the helmet and the pads. So for the young people out there that are looking to be cool and party and have all the fun play the long game because there's someone who sits very close to me that I see all the time and I go look at this guy. He's a multi-millionaire. He's got a family. He's got kids. And I guarantee you he was rooting for the nerds over the jocks. Isn't that right, Tom? Absolutely. I was a nerd. I wasn't a computer science, I wasn't a coder,
Starting point is 01:46:48 but I was a nerd, you know, completely. You're not a nerd now, Tom. You're part of the cool guy. You're a stud with a Ferrari, Tom. There's a girl dad. I'm sort of a bad thing. Chicks are throwing themselves at. You've just seen Tom walking through the lobby yesterday.
Starting point is 01:47:00 Girls were throwing them. Adam had to stop girls. Chicks were like, is that Tom? Jumping on Tom with that picture. It was pretty bad. The best die. It was pretty bad. Tell your story being Revenge of the nerd versus a jock.
Starting point is 01:47:12 I can assume, I could see you being part of Lambda, Lambda, Lambda, Omega Mew? Well, I'm more of a geek than a nerd. What? No, you're a stud. What's the difference in a geek and a nerd? Well, so a geek is kind of a nerd is kind of as revenge
Starting point is 01:47:27 of the nerds, the guys that were programmers and all that. The geeks are the kind of the people that are friends of the nerds understand them, and they propel the nerds forward because they know what their capabilities are. So we are there to say, we will say, follow me nerds, we're going
Starting point is 01:47:43 the top of the mouth. I love it. You ever see. But you've ever seen the movie, Mean Girls, when she goes, I'm not just a mom, I'm a cool mom. Here's what I'll tell you. You're not just a geek. You're a cool geek, Tom. Oh, wow. Thank you very much. And I have a daughter taking that one.
Starting point is 01:47:55 That's what I learned right there. It's a great movie. All right, let's, uh, out of everything I learned there, I, I, I mean, he doesn't watch this, uh, Squid Games, by the way. Oh, my God. Don't, Pat. We'll do an entire segment right now in your school breakdown. I am so addicted to this season one.
Starting point is 01:48:13 My son comes back from three weeks at. at one of these schools where they do this kind of stuff. You know what I'm talking about? Geeks. He comes back and he introduced me to Squid Games. We finish season one. What a, I'm going to do an entire thing on it. I don't even want to get into it.
Starting point is 01:48:31 It was, I can't even tell you. Episode six and nine were ridiculous. Episode six and nine were ridiculous. Which were the two numbers? Six and nine. We're ridiculous. Now, I'm telling you. And I'm not, I'm not joking with you.
Starting point is 01:48:45 Those two episodes were ridiculous. Okay. Let me go to two stories here. One of the stories I'm going to go to Vinny. I'm coming to you with this one because you specialize in this story. Yes. A gay couple goes by. Hey, Vinny.
Starting point is 01:49:00 For. Stop it, stop. You're so silly when you're doing like a snake. This is your story. You picked the story. It's your story, Vinny. Gay couple goes viral for baby surrogacy video one later identified as Pencil. Pennsylvania registered sex offender.
Starting point is 01:49:17 Whoa. That was them. Rob, can we play without the music? Yes. Go ahead and play it, Rob. So this is them. Like, congratulations. They got a kid. And two fathers, yet, I don't know if you see the picture on the bottom right. What does it say, Rob? 6-3-1-2. Sexual abuse of children was his primary offense. Brandon Keith Riley Mitchell, according to this report, was registered as a sex offender on the 6th of October, 2016.
Starting point is 01:49:45 And by the way, this is in Michigan, okay? This is in a state of Michigan with this story. Let me just read it to you. And then I'm going to come to because I have a problem. Oh, are you? I have a problem. Let me just read it to you. I can't speak.
Starting point is 01:49:58 Let me just read it to you. Let me just read it to you. Okay, so. Let the boy walk. Let, let Pat read. No, I don't want the boy to watch. No, exactly. I want the boy not to watch these two guys.
Starting point is 01:50:09 That's the problem. Daddy, daddy, what are you guys doing? No, it's, we don't want that. So Brandon Keith Mitchell and Ryder, somebody's always, okay, got it. Okay, so crowdfunded surrogacy birth with a husband, Logan Riley, is a registered tier one sex offender in Pennsylvania, stemming from a 2016 arrest for attempting to solicit a 16-year-old boy for sexual activity as reported by Redox. The outlet stated Brandon Keith Mitchell is a tier one sex offender in the state of Pennsylvania and arrested in 2016 for doing that. Court records indicate Mitchell, a former chemistry teacher.
Starting point is 01:50:44 ad Downington West High School exchanged over 12,000 text messages with a teenager. It is 12,000 text messages. 12,000. With a teenager and a police search uncovered hundreds of sexually explicit videos of the victim on his laptop. Mitchell was charged with multiple felonies, including possession of child pornography, sexual abuse of children, endangering the welfare of children, and corruption of minors, according to a press release from Chester County District Attorney's office dated February 9th of 2016. Authorities confirmed Mitchell exchanged nude photos
Starting point is 01:51:18 but sexually suggestive text messages with a male student, a junior under 18 on multiple occasions. Though his defense attorney, Peter Cross has said there's no allegations of physical contact with any student. Vinny, your thoughts on the store? Absolute pure evil.
Starting point is 01:51:32 Okay, you can't even adopt a dog if you're on the sex registry. Okay, but this guy got a freaking a baby like he was ordering it off of Amazon. And it's like, that's how broken our system is. I'm sorry. This is my opinion how I feel. I don't think a gay couple of men should be adopting, you shouldn't be buying some kid to have at your house. I'm sorry. It's unnatural. It should be a father and a mother because these are the type of instances that happen.
Starting point is 01:51:59 And even if it's one, it's one, God knows how many more are out there. Okay. And I said this how many times, okay? And it kills me to see that little, that child. I hope, have they taken the child away, Tom? I mean, Rob, have they taken the kid away from the, I have not seen it. Okay, so they haven't yet. So, and I said this multiple times, okay, guys, children are the most overlooked and abused group on this freaking planet, okay? From the beginning, the schools brainwashed them and sexualize them with the LGBTQ push. We don't give a damn how many of them missing at the border.
Starting point is 01:52:31 300,000, eh, they just go missing. Plant parenthood murders them, okay? What chance? What chance do they have? And then you have freaking these couples, gay couples, one of them is a freaking sex offender to all. Underage kids to 12-year-olds? What are that kid's going to do? They're going to do this kid when he gets older.
Starting point is 01:52:48 He has to change them. They have to see him naked. They have to see his penis. They have to clean this thing. And you're doing that with 12. This kid's going to grow up to be 12. Okay? And it just drives me nuts.
Starting point is 01:52:57 Pat, these kids have no voice. They have no lobby. They have no protection. And what does it say? Slip through the cracks. Are you freaking kidding me? How the hell do we keep letting this crap happen? And I've seen all the reports.
Starting point is 01:53:08 I saw, I'm not going to get into Pat, but there's two other stories that I sent to Rob. They're catching. these people's left and right guys. The pedophile problem around the world and including our country is insane. Put the Jeffrey Epstein aside. That's okay, the blackmail operation.
Starting point is 01:53:24 Just another reverend I saw was spotted. He's a reverend of Pat, Reverend Roger Hanky Rob. I sent you this clip. I have it. And by the way, guys, this is all allegedly San Diego Pastor at St. John's Episcal Church. Did you see the video of the guy pulled up to the door? And he says, you want to talk in front of your...
Starting point is 01:53:41 And he says, no, in front of your lover? Yeah. And like, This is happening way more than often. It's just not getting freaking reported. All right. These people are everywhere, guys. And I urge everybody, be freaking careful. This guy's a reverend at a church, and he was caught, Rob, right there.
Starting point is 01:53:56 Can you play that one? I want you guys to see this. And Rob, what's the name of the company that goes out? Down in the corner, People versus Preds. People versus Preds. This is him. Press the video. Yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:54:08 How's it going, Roger? You wanted to talk to me privately, or do you want your boyfriend to find out, or your husband? What? What? I mean... Do you want to talk to me privately outside? Nice Porsche. This happens so many.
Starting point is 01:54:21 Like I said, I don't want to hear, otherwise we can, we can tell him if you want. It's a picture of you. He's showing him photos of him. You want to go walk and talk. We just want to keep it private. What do you want to do? I mean, I want to talk to you about this. the conversations you were having for the people that were talking to you on Grindy.
Starting point is 01:54:46 Okay. So, Bob, you could pause it. So he's allegedly, he's confronting him because he was on Grindr and trying to holler at somebody that he thought was 14 and 15. These demons, I know Jake is listening, these demons are so, they're out there, guys, and it's happening more than often, Pat, and this is, man, it just drives me crazy. They're everywhere. And I look, it could be priests, it could be your neighbor, could be.
Starting point is 01:55:12 a coach they're out there and the fact that this the other guy the main story he's already convicted how the hell is he adopting a child what are we even talking about tom so there's two things here three things here the first thing oh my is i don't necessarily you know you can feel very strongly as i do about what it takes to raise kids and the role of a natural mother natural father in raising those kids and i feel very strongly about it i also recognize that the law under the John Roberts decisions that same-sex people can get married. And under the law, same-sex people can adopt. However, when anyone is adopting, anyone, they don't have to be same-sex to be a predator. They don't have to be same-sex to be a risk to children. When they're
Starting point is 01:55:59 adopting, the full and complete background check has to happen so that these things don't fall through the cracks. It says, I don't care whether it's a gay couple or a heterosexual couple. If that one of those in those relationships is a predator with a record that had to resign from a workplace. That's not like a minor offense that's trapped in a clerical error. This guy had a very real
Starting point is 01:56:23 thing and resigned as a teacher, did he not? Yes. So I feel very strongly about that. The next, the third point I feel strongly about is this is why you have to watch what your kids are watching. This is why the parents everywhere need to be vigilant.
Starting point is 01:56:39 There are things happening on line. You have to be so vigilant. This is why 13 year olds, 14 year olds shouldn't have phones. One of my daughters had a phone. She took it to swim, brought it back, puts it in the kitchen. That's it. It's done. I gave a little bit too much permission and I reeled it back. I read a great book about things. I reeled it back. And I said, you know what? You're right. It says her older sister didn't have any Instagram until she was a senior and was a senior group from school. and it was your book photos circulated and I monitored it that's so dangerous. So point one, you know, it is legal for people to get married.
Starting point is 01:57:18 It's legal for people to adopt. Point two, background checks have to be better. This nation has to stand up for it. And then point three, I'm with Vinny on point three. These kids are getting exploited and the first line of defense needs to be their own parents. Well, here's my question, Tom. And I respect everything that you're saying, especially with, you know, the, the, the parents and being accountable, but can we be honest with each other? Pat, Tom, Adam,
Starting point is 01:57:43 you think it's okay? Honestly, genuinely, a gay male couple to adopt a male boy that's not like this is a strange, this is not blood and you're seeing his penis in your face and he's going to get older. That's going to be a naked stranger in your house. That's a naked kid in your house that you're going to be, I just, I'm very uncomfortable with that. I'm very uncomfortable with that. It's legal for them to do it in America, but I personally. disagree with that. Do a lot of stuff. I'll tell you, I disagree with it. I disagree with it on faith grounds. I disagree with it because I think mothers and fathers have critical roles to raising kids. But I'm recognizing where the laws stand. I get the law. But also saying I
Starting point is 01:58:23 disagree. Yeah. I think gay couples should be able to get married. I think gay couples should be able to adopt. And I totally understand. Legally, they are. Yeah. And I totally understand why people have objections to that. I totally get it. By the way, speaking of adopting kids, do you know what states allow gay couples to adopt kids? All 50 states, federally. Now, there's different hurdles in different states. Now, I personally have friends, a lesbian couple that adopted kids, a boy and a girl, and a gay couple that adopted boys. Dave, Dave, Dave, great parents.
Starting point is 01:59:02 I'm not worried about them. Who I am worried about are child sex offenders, child. molesters, predators getting access to these kids. How the hell does this sex predator fall through the cracks? What cracks? There should be so many background checks if you're a child predator to adopting kids. What? Hey, Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend want to adopt a couple of young girls. Nobody. We need some serious background checks here. So I'm not I'm not against normal people who happen to have a different lifestyle or sexual orientation raising kids. What we need are people raising good kids. What we need is to be able to protect our kids. Because
Starting point is 01:59:44 by the way, flip it. Ready? There's a lot of straight couples who are shitty parents and raise shitty-ass kids. So just because you're gay or straight or lesbian does not mean that you're going to raise a good kid or a bad kid. We're probably going to go over this story about this normal woman who was a normal lady. She was a mom. She has a son. And her son turns out to be absolute psychopath killer and she enabled them. How does that work? I just have a problem with... Let's just not mix of stories. No, but we're talking about
Starting point is 02:00:15 parenting. I just, Adam, and I love and I respect everything that you're saying, I just, I'm uncomfortable with any male, male, gay couple having a naked kid with a penis in front of their face. That's a child that's not going to be able to report anything or say anything. I'm very uncomfortable
Starting point is 02:00:31 with it. Who knows what is going on? You know what I mean? You're a gay couple. Like, what do you? I mean? You're a gay couple. Like, what do you? I I don't know, man. I get your concerns. It's very awkward. This is an awkward conversation, but we're having it.
Starting point is 02:00:42 Awkward situation. But does that, like, how would you... So let's say a straight couple, like a man and a woman adopt a little girl. So that little girl is still going to be around a man that likes women. How do you deal with that? Adam, that's a whole different situation. No, but the point is you're saying attraction will lead to you doing something weird to a child. I'm talking about unnatural.
Starting point is 02:01:05 By the way, if you ran a country, from start, okay? Not, it's a law now. If you ran a country from start, would you be okay with gay men adopting kids? It wouldn't be my first order
Starting point is 02:01:21 of business. That's the question. Down the list, I don't want any trans, weird stuff going on. Because here's... I would be mostly comfortable with it. Mostly comfortable.
Starting point is 02:01:35 Yeah, I'm not entirely comfortable. Why are you not? Straight. I'm not gay. I don't know what it's like. But why are you not entirely comfortable with it? Because Vinny does have some valid concerns. It's not a blanket statement. So, you know, this is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people because we have friends in this space that, you know, I don't know if we call friends. But I would tell you have acquaintances. People who are in this space. And I had a very great conversation about this with Gillian at dinner one night.
Starting point is 02:02:03 To me, it's not gay lesbian couples. We had a pastor at a school, at a church we used to go to Tom, who he would get up and he was raised by a lesbian couple. He was raised by it. You know who I'm talking about. Yep. And he would openly talk about it. He talked about it in his book. It's not like he's hiding it. He's not embarrassed about it.
Starting point is 02:02:21 He actually wrote a book and talked about it. This is a pastor at a church that we used to go to. But, you know, a lesbian couple is not interested in anything a man has. Yeah. A gay couple is interested. in what you have. Sexually, they're attracted to another male. When you look at stats, you said every single 50 state,
Starting point is 02:02:44 Mississippi just allowed it to be legal just nine years ago, 2016. It was the last state. It was historically the toughest one to go through. I think 2015 is when Obama legalized gay marriage anyway. After that, it changed the game with everything that's going on. Actual adopting gay couples kids is a new thing. It's not a hundred-year-old thing. It's a brand new thing.
Starting point is 02:03:05 Oh, I agree. So here's the point. But the point I'm trying to make to you is we don't even have like, I remember when they started doing books on steroids. When steroids first came out and everybody was like, well, steroids, they're not bad for you. They're diss or that. And I'm like, ah, you know, yeah, your testosterone level being a certain level, TRT, testosterone replacement therapy. It could be good for men because, you know, if your testosterone is lower, you feel insecure, you're not a good husband because you can't perform and you don't feel good about yourself. Maybe it's better for you to raise your, okay.
Starting point is 02:03:36 Then we got a little bit smarter with testosterone and steroids. But then we learned a lot of people that also overdid it and a bodybuilding every year people would die. And I would get text messages for all the Mr. Olympia people, people die, right? It's such a new thing that we don't yet have enough data to sit there and say this is good or bad. You're right. So to me, a part of it I'm not comfortable with
Starting point is 02:03:59 because it's all about odds. It's all about odds. If I'm a married man, if I lived in a house with 30 bombshell models, and it was a test, these girls are going to pay, wear two-piece swimsuits all day, every day. You're going to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with them, and you're living in this 20-bedroom mansion with 20 models. How many days could you last? I'm a man very comfortably saying it. I'm not taking up that challenge. I will sign up for this job.
Starting point is 02:04:30 I know you would. What am I got to do? I am here for duty, sir. Yeah, you. It is my duty to please that food. For you, it would be easy. Yeah. But for me to think, oh, I am so, you know, freaking strong as a Christian man.
Starting point is 02:04:45 Are you out of your freaking mind? As a Christian man, I volunteer. Yeah. Yeah. So, but you have to understand yourself. Like when I travel, I like to travel with a crew. Yeah. You know, my neck goes the same places.
Starting point is 02:04:59 Because we have a guy, I once say his name, because I don't want to put him on blast. He knows who he is. This guy could spot a girl. His radar, you understand what I'm saying? I'm good. He's really good. Vinny, you're amateur compared to him. Well, Vinny's gator is off the chart.
Starting point is 02:05:15 His radar to find anything, voluptuous, round, anything, right? He will go into a room. And I just, all I do is I just look at his eyes. And I'm like, what's you're looking at? By the way, you got a good as well. I'm good. No, bro, you're not tier one. You're tier one.
Starting point is 02:05:35 I'm blind. I'm just out there's feeling around. Me and this guy at him are having a moment. Like we're having like a, I have something who's going on with my family and we're like in a kind of a crowd. You remember this? Listen, I and we're talking and like we had a moment like this and we're looking at each other. And he's like, yeah, man, it's with you. But just really quick, a girl just walked.
Starting point is 02:05:56 She's ridiculous. I go, dude, my cousin's not doing. well he's like look over there and it was a 10 he is that good he is ridiculous but go back to the story to me to me it's i just don't want to put men in a position who like other men to do something stupid yeah that especially with kids so because if you want a dude with another man bro you're an adult congrats i don't care i've been to hundreds of clubs on my life the best clubs i went to were gay clubs it's not even close adam loves those no no but but i'm telling you you know what may gay club's the best. Girls went there could not have anyone flirt with them. Exactly. And it was by
Starting point is 02:06:34 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, they're like, listen, man, I mean, I can only do gay men for so long. I want a straight guy. Yeah. Like, right here, buddy, we're in town. It's called the blue Asian soldiers in uniform. It was the ultimate blue ocean strat. That's brilliant. That's true. We're talking about. Okay, I want to see how comfortable you are. I want a real life example. Here we go. Let's say Vinny and I, you know, do a Chuck and Larry type of thing. We got married. We get married. For tax purposes. Tax purposes. are you comfortable with Vinny and Adam adopting? Nothing. Nothing. Zero. No, nothing. We cannot adopt a boy? Nothing. We cannot adopt a girl.
Starting point is 02:07:08 No, because men are different. Men are very different than women. No, no. Men are very different. Let me tell you. Don't know. When we stay at a house together, Tom knows this. Do you know how overprotective I am of his girls, of my boys? I don't like anybody being on the second floor. I got a very basic rule. And we're living in a big house. So unfortunately, sometimes you can lose people because the house is not like a small house. It's like, oh, you know, you got to go walk around to find somebody. It's like the haunted house with the pink room. I am not okay with kids being on the second floor without me being on the second floor or being present. Because why?
Starting point is 02:07:43 I don't think my kids are bad kids. I don't think anybody's kids. But I know you're a man. You're a boy. Okay. Boys are wired in a very different way. Let me give a follow-up question. How comfortable are you with two women adopting?
Starting point is 02:07:56 more comfortable. Okay. So then here's the question. You've seen the stats. Yes. About a lack of a father in the home. Yes. So now you have double woman. Yes. And no father in the home. How will those kids turn out? Because here's my, here's my thoughts. At the very least. Are you asking a question? Yes. Let me make the state. Yes. Okay. It's better than a foster home. What is? Two mothers raising a boy is better than what happens at foster home. Walk me through the hierarchy of what you think is the most beneficial for a child's outcome. Foster, foster some stuff. Beneficial, number one, is a father and a mother, I assume, right? Yeah. For sure. Walk me through that. So then it's what?
Starting point is 02:08:36 Single mother? Then it's a lesbian couple. No, no, no. I'm going to go. No, no, I'll give it to you clearly. Mom and dad married, raising kids. Totally understand. Nuclear family.
Starting point is 02:08:47 Nuclear family. Number two is mother with a stepdad that's a good dad raising kids. a lot of kids, you see these videos, the dad was a deadbeat dad, a good dad comes in, and later on the kid changes the jersey on the football scene. I'm playing with my stepdad's name because my dad wasn't in a picture. Love you that. Yes, a man that wants to be a great father. A woman could marry a scumbag and she goes and marry somebody else.
Starting point is 02:09:09 That's number two. Number three, a father raising kids without the mother. Got it. Number four, a mother raising kids, single. Then after that, to me, nothing. That's it. So lesbian's not able to. doubt. If I have to choose, and this is the conversation I have with Jillian, because it's different
Starting point is 02:09:28 with boys when it's in that setting than boys. I'm with two men. It's a very, it's a very different conversation. So then Foster Home? No. Where does that fall on this? Foster homes get nasty. But to me, it doesn't go back to two men. Okay. And to me, I will never be comfortable with this, ever. Because I've been a man for 46 years. And by the way, Do you know how controversial of a position this is to take in our community for me to take? I totally understand. Are you comfortable with two men adopting a baby girl? No, not even a girl.
Starting point is 02:10:04 No, not at all. Why? Nothing. If you've chosen to be a gay couple, go enjoy yourselves. I don't want no kids to be in that environment. I'm not. But you're comfortable with a lesbian couple. By the way, for me, it's black and white.
Starting point is 02:10:18 There's no great area for me here with a gay couple. You want to be together. Go handle your business. Keep it to yourself. I have no hard feelings over it. When it comes to kids, I am naturally a protective person when it comes onto stories. Are you comfortable with gay marriage and not adopting? Just gay marriage alone. Am I comfortable with gay marriage? I'm not. I'm with them being together. But if you want to put the tax benefits, there has to be a certain way to say for tax purposes, yes, but I'm not for that either. So that's a. That's Obama law, but it's a law today, and it is what it is. But for me, I'm not, my job isn't to protect gay couples. My job as a man is to protect kids. If I see outside something happens to a kid, my natural reaction kicks in within seconds. I can't help myself.
Starting point is 02:11:08 I'm at an ice cream place the other day, and this mother is with her son, and the son says, what did he say to her? I said this the other day. He's like, I'm not going to get your ice cream because the way you behaved earlier. you're such a dumbass you're a dumbass and by the way Senna and Dylan look at me
Starting point is 02:11:29 they look at me like what's going by the way he's doing it in front of us he's probably Tico's age mom you're such a dumb ass there's no father in the picture I wanted to smack him upside his head I said I said about one more time I can't do that no I can't do that but that's America for you
Starting point is 02:11:45 so to me you know the level of respect on some of this behavior I'm going to lose you know some people that are going to I can't believe you're this you're so out of touch listen values principles you know everybody has their own story I'm a black and white
Starting point is 02:12:01 I think you're not going to make many new friends from saying this meaning there's people that are upset but I respect the hell out of that's how you feel I'm not I guarantee you the same people that may not happy with the position I'm taking they will respect the fact that I don't fear walking on eggshells to not tell you on what I believe in this position.
Starting point is 02:12:18 I'm very comfortable with that. This is not an area they can change my mind on. It's black and white for me. All right. So let's go to what time we got, Rob, 1119. Can we do one more? Is there a story we haven't hit that we should hit? Is there a story? I feel like we hit all the main stories that we wanted, Rob. Did I miss anything? Oh, Tucker Carlson. Yeah. Okay. What, so this is, this is what? This is. This is Tucker with Candace Owens, where they talk about Tucker finding out that his father was part of the CIA. Oh, okay, go for it. Play this clip. sorry i have it on double that's my boy rob that's how we roll we can do that but rob that the only reason i know who he is is because someone sent me a video a few years ago of him attacking me and i was like hmm so i'm looking at this and i'm like well first of all these kids really talented like legit and i can assess that just having done the job for so long so it's like wow lots of talent native talent and he's attacking my dad as a CIA his dad's the CIA or whatever and I'm like, well, that's no, untrue. And my father dies, and I learn, actually, yeah, you know,
Starting point is 02:13:24 was involved in that world. I was completely shocked by it. So no one has to believe me, but that's just a fact. This was in March of this year. And I'm like, well, why would, how the hell would this child from Chicago, my dad was 84 when he passed? Like, who's this guy to know what my dad is? And like, he's in an intelligence world.
Starting point is 02:13:45 How would he know that? And I didn't. Wait, so that was his critique of you because I didn't see it. Yeah, someone just sent me this video and it was like, you can't believe anything Carlson says because his father was in the CIA and he's a CIA working on behalf of the CIA. Well, I mean, I think it's pretty obvious. And I'm actually feel emotional in my anger towards CIA. And I think of that that comes out on the air quite regularly. Right. And so the idea that I'm working for the CIA is, like, deranged. Well, if it helps, he said I was, I'm funded by Russia. Now, since the interview, he then did the thing and said I was funded by Russia. But you would be a lot more likely to take Russian money than I would be to work for the CIA. You would never take Russian money and you're not Russian.
Starting point is 02:14:24 Did he just say what I think? Go back five seconds. He, he, go back, what? You would never take Russian money. Go back, no more. Go back 10 sections, Rob. But a lot more likely to take Russian money than I would be to work for. For the CIA, you would never take Russian money.
Starting point is 02:14:39 But you're saying that you would be you over me. But I mean, I really hate the CIA. And I mean, I would, I mean, that's like very offensive to me. So why would you? It's like personal for you. Well, a little bit. Yeah. And anyway, like, who is this kid exactly?
Starting point is 02:14:51 Mm-hmm. And maybe it's just an accident that the guy goes after exclusively goes after people who are in the same. Okay. You can pause it at that point. So, so this is what? This is the, the, and what is this wrap? So this is Tucker Carlson, even though the whole basis of this conversation is that Nick Fuentes was criticizing Tucker Carlson for his father's ties to the CIA. In that clip, Tucker Carlson says he found out that his father was in the CIA when his father died in March of this year.
Starting point is 02:15:20 But here's a clip from the Sean Ryan show in 2024 where Tucker talks about his father being part of the CIA. So there's no way that he found out in June of 2024. Made those comments in June of 2024, but then just found out in March. Let me see this. And so when I applied to CIA, and I've taken a lot of crap, including from Putin, like, oh, you're from a CIA family. Well, yeah, obviously my father worked in conjunction with CIA. I mean, that's what that is. Wow.
Starting point is 02:15:45 And I tried to join the CIA, but I'm not being false about it. Native talent. And then here's a clip of Nick Fuentes talking about Tucker Carlson after that clip went public. I'm being accused of being the CIA by Peter Thiel's best boys by Tucker Carlson with his Daddy. Tucker Carlson's, and you know what, here's the other thing. Tucker Carlson said I'm a weird gay kid in the basement. Yeah, and I'm from Chicago. You're right. Well, okay, you're not a right about all of that. But I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Tucker Carlson says, I have so many trust funds, I never have to work. Tucker went to a $45,000 per year private high
Starting point is 02:16:31 school. Then a $45,000 per year selective Ivy League school in New England. Tucker Carlson's daddy was a Reagan appointee. And then after years of bragging about being an elite, bragging about being so out of touch and so rich, now he's going to be the spokesperson for all the white people. Now he's going to roll up his sleeves. I just like to hunt fish in my log cabin. I care about Klarna and credit card debt. But then when it comes to me, I'm one of the real disaffected white people. You want to talk about me and them? I am them.
Starting point is 02:17:11 He says, Nick Fuentes is leading all of the disaffected young white men. I am a disaffected white, young white man. I was a precocious, intelligent, young white college student who went to Boston University, who was pro-Trump and red-pilled by Trump and animated by Trump's message of America first. And I asked questions about Israel, and I was punished for it. I did it years before Tucker Carlson started talking about Israel last year. And I sacrificed, and I was targeted by the ADL, by the SPLC, by the federal government, by the conservative movement that both Candace and Tucker were a part of. Candice and Tucker had nothing to say about Israel until it became unavoidable last year, not popular, but unavoidable.
Starting point is 02:17:58 and now they want to gate keep me out and do this personality attack and say I'm a bitter loser in my basement from Chicago you can pause this so what do you know about this and by the way is this in conjunction with the Tucker
Starting point is 02:18:12 with the Laura Lumer stuff that you're talking about I did not see the Laura Lumer stuff hang on one second because Loyal Lumer Pat was kind of going after Who sent that thing in the group text with Laura Lumer and Tucker Carlson Humberto I think Okay yeah
Starting point is 02:18:27 So what do you see wrong with this here? So, okay, so for me, is it tough for Tucker Carlson to not want to say that his dad was CIA? Yeah, if my dad was CIA, would I publicly want to tell people that is CIA? I don't know, your loyalty would probably be to not want to tell people your dad's CIA. If your dad wasn't CIA and you choose to become a CIA agent, it's the ultimate level of respect for your father. That doesn't mean the position that him now saying that I never knew I was until my father passed away and he said that to Sean Ryan last year, okay, fine, for that happen
Starting point is 02:19:05 and I get that part. But what else is the... Okay. Vinny, how are you processing this year when you're hearing Tucker and Nick Fuentes? I mean, listen, people can say whatever they want. He's openly racist. He does whatever. You have to give credit where credit do. Nick Fuentes is really good at what he does.
Starting point is 02:19:24 does. He's very, very good at articulating. He brings receipts. Yeah, he says, he has said some outlandish stuff. He said, like, remember when you said that he says the N-word? And he even said doing that show, he was like, Patrick, but David said he won't let me have it on and everything like that. In regard to- He's so capable if he drops those words. He's going to get a bigger, wider audience. Which I think, Pat, to be honest with you, I think he's slow. I haven't heard it out of him. And he, by the way, and he said it respectfully to you. When it comes to all these other people, he has all these opinions. And it's, it's a war. When it comes to you, you and your name and what you're doing, and he knows, he knows this podcast. It's a lot of
Starting point is 02:19:58 respect, and he gives respect where respect is due. In regard to Tucker, I mean, you have the receipts right there. Rob just showed us that with Candace, he said he had no idea, zero idea that his dad was a part of the CIA or involved with the CIA. And then Rob gets a clip from, was it June, 2024, where he says he knows his dad was a part of the CIA. So, from what I just saw he got caught lying he's blatantly uh lying about it and it's like listen say what you want and i think you made this point yesterday you don't know about who's this kid this young kid from chicago and all this stuff he's done his research Tucker knows exactly who he is he knows exactly who this kid from chicago is and he does like i said he's made a point Tucker and
Starting point is 02:20:45 candace uh can this a little bit later than him but nick has been having the stance on all all his positions haven't changed, like haven't changed. His Trump position has changed because Trump has changed some of his promises in Nick's eyes. But he has been this guy from the beginning from a very young age. He hasn't budged. And, you know, the proof is in the pudding. We just saw what Tucker did. And he's actually, and he's right.
Starting point is 02:21:09 He's right. Tom. So I am trying to get my head around all of this. It's pretty inescapable where we have one video a year before his father. dies. He's talking about CIA, and then he's talking to Candace saying, I didn't know until after. You know, both of those videos are validated. So that's like, okay, when did you know, you're, you're kind of caught here. And then I see Nick Fuentes, who I think is one of the most gifted debaters, never mind his tone of voice. I don't mind his tone of voice. He's just, he's passionate,
Starting point is 02:21:44 just like I don't mind you, angry patriot tone of voice. The, and I see him, gifted debater, driving it and everything, and there's really a, you know, a collision coming here. And so my question really is, you know, with Tucker, with respect, we've met him and everything. I got respect for the man. You know, I watched him for a long time before I ever met him live. It's like there's some reality here that, you know, just trying to get my head around. And but with Nick, you know, I see that. And then Laura Lumer, you know, we know Laura. You know, I have a positive, you know, impression of her from what I've seen when she's been here. And she seems to come up with receipts. And a lot of people say, oh, she's bombastic. She's just throwing fireballs. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:22:31 She seems to show up with receipts from time to time, which I think is, you know, not to channel Al Gore, but some of those receipts, Laura Lumer's throwing, are like inconvenient truths that people don't want to deal with. And I, this, this whole thing is, it's like a pot of chili. I'm waiting to see what flavor exactly comes out of this. But it's a lot of stuff that they're troubling. Last story here before wrap up. I'd like more receipts. Yep. So regarding Tucker and Nick Fuentes and Candice and that crew, you talked about a collision course. There will be a collision course. Because I called this yesterday, I think this is duct take diplomacy. These people are not all on the same page. And once you start pulling
Starting point is 02:23:16 this thread, this whole thing is going to fall apart. And the one common theme with all these people is that they just hate Israel. That's it. So, why is Jank Weger, who's a progressive atheist, and Candice Owens, who's
Starting point is 02:23:33 a Catholic Christian nationalist, and Nick Fuentes, who's a Catholic, theocratic, quote-unquote, racist, anti-Semite, Tucker, who's just Asking questions, Dan Bilzerian, who's this hedonist, who enjoys harems, what do they have in common? Not a lot.
Starting point is 02:23:53 It's just the fact that they've bonded together over their dislike or hate of Israel. So the biggest thing here with Tucker is that he weaponizes asking questions. I'm just asking questions. I don't know. Is Netanyahu Hitler? It's just me asking questions. I don't know. Was my dad?
Starting point is 02:24:12 Who was the CIA? I don't know. You know exactly what you're doing, Tucker, when you ask these questions and you weaponize your opinion and you put it together in a nice little bow tie like you used to wear for the general public to basically absorb and be like, maybe this journalist is just asking questions. No, you're presenting your opinion in the form of a question. I think this whole crew, Nick Fuentes, Tucker, you're already seeing the rumblings. They're going to fight and it's going to get ugly. Nick Fuentes does not like Candace because she's black. Candice does not like Tucker because he's establishment.
Starting point is 02:24:51 All these people don't like Dan Pozzerian. I don't think so. Well, Candice says nothing but good things about Tucker. It'll fall apart. No, I don't. I think the part about Fuentes, I don't know. Again, like I said, I don't know a lot about him. All I know is when I hear him say his messaging, he's consistent with what he's saying.
Starting point is 02:25:11 I have never watched. None of these people are idiots. They're all smart. No, but when you're bonded by hate, it's going to fall apart and it's going to get on... Can I say one thing, Pat, not the good job, Adam, do you think, and I'm being, I'm being genuine. Do you think it's hate? I think there's different levels, like, Damblesarian is in full hate, anger, Jewish people. Like, he's there.
Starting point is 02:25:31 When it comes to Tucker and I think, Adam, it comes to, like, being, like, having accountability and saying, like, hey, listen, like, October 7th, all that, okay, whatever, we can talk about all that stuff. But it's what's happening. Like look what's happening right now And if they're bringing it up And we can't at least acknowledge some of the problems And you say Adam I don't expect all them to be 100% on the same page Adam everybody's going to have different opinions
Starting point is 02:25:57 They're completely different people Completely different But to say that they just hate Israel That's a pretty out there statement I just say hate If they have some distaste and they have a problem We can put together a highlight reel Of the blood libel that they've said
Starting point is 02:26:12 So Tucker Carlson, let's stay there for a second. Is his father part of the CIA, and did he know it or not? And when did he know it? Based on this, it looks like he's lying to Candace Owens' face. Yes or no? I think so. Okay. From what we just saw from what, like, he helped this.
Starting point is 02:26:29 Not like he worked for them or around them. Dick Carlson, really? You tell me this guy wasn't CIA. He just looks like one. Number two, I could show you tapes. So many of them, Candice Owens, praising. Israel, praising what Bibi Netanyahu has done, praising the Jewish people, saying that we have to stop this Muslim aggression not 20 years ago, not 10 years ago, five years ago, four
Starting point is 02:26:54 years ago, three years ago, eight years ago, what happened, something happened. I don't know. I don't know what happened. But if I could roll the tape. So you know why I respect Nick Fuentes? I don't see one video of him praising Israel, the Jews. Everything's not liking them and hating them. Stick to your position. Why is Candice Owens flipped so dramatically? By the way, same thing with Tucker. Why is he flipped? So what has happened? What's happened? Here's my question to you. What do you honestly think it is? What do you think? Because Candace is smart as hell Tucker, these people are smart as hell out of what happened. If I could give you a quick, if I can give you a quick summary and I'll be super quick. Tucker is the biggest faker out there
Starting point is 02:27:37 because he's the elitist masquerading as a populist. Don't believe me, roll the tape with the Nick Fuentes says. He says he's this elitist who's basically all like about hunting and whiskey. Dude, you're the only person in the history of the world that's had their own show on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. Stop pretending you're not establishment. You've helped build the establishment, Tucker Carlson. Candace.
Starting point is 02:28:03 I don't know what happened with Candace. She worked for Prager University, and she worked for Charlie Kirk with turning point and all of a sudden she's the biggest anti-Israel person out there I don't know what happened if I would speculate it's probably something to do with her husband who's Catholic and there's a form of Catholicism that absolutely hates Israel and the Jews
Starting point is 02:28:24 don't believe me ask her husband I think his name is George his father their relationship right there Nick Fuentes as disgusting as some of his takes are he's being real and some people appreciate being real over being fake like talk about okay but but to kansas's point do you not think maybe with with kandis besides that that's your take about the father and the brother that's how my take no what you're not saying with george i'm not bringing opinions here i'm bringing receipts what i'm saying is do you think like the actions of the government of israel not jewish people around the world
Starting point is 02:28:57 the actions of the government led by b b b nanyahu isn't could be a main thing that's making candis go wait a minute and shift gears and change your tune because that's what adam I feel like a lot of people's attitudes have changed because of that, the response of October 7th. And that's what it is, bro. It's like, listen, I get it. Adam, you attack us. We're attacking you back. America, I get it.
Starting point is 02:29:20 But you have to do it strategically. If that's the case, all I want her to do is criticize America until the end of time. Because America has done way worse in Afghanistan and Iraq. You don't think she has? Multiple countries around the world. You don't think she has? Not like this. Guess what?
Starting point is 02:29:35 He's made. He's heard me. You've heard me. I left the military, one of the main reasons. He's not talking about you. He's talking about her. That's what I'm saying. She's criticized our government all the time.
Starting point is 02:29:45 And actually, what's crazy is, every time I've hung out with Candice, I've enjoyed my time with Candice. She's cool. She's fun. And I said this the other day, she's been infected by some sort of bug. That's what it is.
Starting point is 02:29:57 I don't know what it is. I'm not speculating. I like Candace. I like Dave Smith. I like Jenk. We get along. That's what we do here. But I can absolutely do.
Starting point is 02:30:07 disagree with some of the disgusting takes that they have. They might disagree with me. That's totally okay. But you asked a question about her the father? Yeah. Okay. We can find the tweet. No, I'm saying what you said about like what made her
Starting point is 02:30:23 switch from praising Israel to now, I don't think it was the father. I think it was actions from the Israeli government. That's me, again, that's my opinion. Okay. War is ugly. How much you think is what the Ben Shapiro comments and what happened on Daily
Starting point is 02:30:37 wire you think that's what percentage of you think is that what started it and what here's my question what what was the ben think i remember ben shapiro was him standing on the at any band what was it by candis he made a comment and what was and was it because i don't even know what he said yeah i do know he said so i don't agree with what candace said and then she from there put christ as king and then you know the follow not can i think but what made ben say something is because she was saying what about what israel was doing i don't i don't remember exactly what it was I remember him standing on the table and the vent and saying,
Starting point is 02:31:08 how many kids does Candace have now? Four kids? Four? I think so. And I would not talk about our kids whatsoever. But I've heard Candace Owens say on her show. Listen, sometimes I'm pregnant.
Starting point is 02:31:23 I get emotional. I get angry. If you've been pregnant, walking around pregnant, every single year for the last five years, you're going to have a lot of emotions and a lot of anger going on in your mind. And I think there's a lot of
Starting point is 02:31:35 of things she says almost like I'm just asking questions well she will weaponize an opinion in the form of a question we've seen this clip with Ben I think it was a bad look for Ben to call out Candace before while she was still on the daily wire it was not a good look at my question
Starting point is 02:31:51 is what did she say what did she say she was fair and then the question is that Candace now is that came from behavior during this is it and disgraceful that to me is a private conversation they should have Yeah, you know, listen, a lot of times when things like this has happened, this could have been prevented very early on by Daily Wire. It could have been prevented by Daily Wire. We're not going to rehash that.
Starting point is 02:32:20 I don't want to bring that up. We've already had that conversation. I'll make one comment about Ben. Probably one of the smartest people on the planet. Not a leader. Not a leader. He's a solo guy. I don't see people say, all right, Ben's going to lead the meeting.
Starting point is 02:32:35 let's all get galvanized. Pat's a leader. I mean, we're here in Vegas. There's going to be 10,000 people in an auditorium and a company he built. Ben is a smart, sharp, capable solo act.
Starting point is 02:32:47 Nobody's better at debating college kids, going into a crowded room and are being on a show and holding his own. Nobody's better. There's a big difference. Charlie Kirk's amazing as well.
Starting point is 02:32:58 There's a big difference between having an opinion and being a lawyer and being a scholar, then running a company. and he should have done a better job with managing Candace Owens. We'll see what happened.
Starting point is 02:33:09 By the way, this isn't the first time Tucker's gone through controversy that comes with him and what happens. The reality of it is, the entire market is talking about it. And that climbs the podcast higher and higher and higher
Starting point is 02:33:22 and more people. Remember, half the time when you're growing your audience, just look at our comment section. What percentage of our comment section loves us? 100%? Hell no. I'm looking at all the time.
Starting point is 02:33:34 comments. A hundred percent of people love me. Love or hate. Love or hate. You're watching it. The same thing goes with everybody else. Gang, great podcast. I want to give a quick shout out to Aaron Mont. Happy birthday to Aaron Mont.
Starting point is 02:33:50 Aaron Mont, instead of a guy, we've been having a lot of good comedy. It was just in Arkansas with them. We had a great time with them. Shout out to the crew back there. You guys running around working. Great job. Cincinnati in the house. Here.
Starting point is 02:34:01 All right. All right. I'm a much. No, Ikech. He, poor mili. No. And also, a big happy birthday back at the ranch to Casey, the head of finance. How is it?
Starting point is 02:34:15 Is it his birthday today? It is. My man, Casey. I love it. Okay, guys, we're going to do this again. Sometime in the next three days, we'll do it. And then we'll be going to, I think we'll be paying a visit to L.A. next couple days. Who knows?
Starting point is 02:34:27 Maybe we'll go to L.A. for, like, a couple days. And should we give the exact restaurant we're going to at what time? No, we won't be doing that, but we will be most likely in LA in the next couple days visiting a few people. God bless everybody. We'll see you guys again on Thursday. Take care. Bye bye, bye-bye.
