Okay, so episode 547, we got a big announcement
to make here today, but before we do so,
yesterday we did a very, Rob, can we qualify that
as a strange, unique podcast, yes or no?
Yes.
Maybe one of the, because maybe it's directly involved
with my life and where I was raised
at, but let me tell you who sat down with us yesterday.
Yesterday we had the founder of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, the ones
who have Hezbollah, ISIS, Hamas, Houthis, the founder who was in the room helping Khomeini
put it together, this man right here,
the founder of it was yesterday, got very, very heated because he was a guy that was
not a fan of what the Shah did and he was also a guy who his direct report ended up
killing the president and the prime minister of Iran at the time while he was on the fourth
floor of a building.
They were on the first floor, that direct report came and dropped a bomb, killed him, and then he came back and said,
the founder, he came back and he says, well, the guy is dead, the country had a funeral,
millions of people mourning, and then afterwards the country realized the guy was alive the
entire time.
You're going to hear me when I ask him that question.
We had a lot of other heated debates about population being brainwashed.
Anyways, I'm excited about that one being released.
It's very heated, very controversial.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Aside from that, there's a lot going on right now, obviously, that we'll be talking about.
These politicians, they're so funny.
There's a clip I want to show you of Maxine Waters saying, this is not fair.
What they're doing is they're finding out what we're doing and they're finding out what
we're doing. I'm sorry, what is they're finding out what we're doing and they're finding out what we're doing. I'm sorry, what?
They're finding out what we're doing.
That's exactly the point of Doge and why they're trying to find out what you're doing because
we want to know.
That's what people voted for.
Yesterday I was on Fox Business having a conversation with them.
I said it's so funny the fact that they don't mind hiring IRS agents to audit you.
They don't mind coming and finding out what you're doing with that $600, what you're doing
with that $300.
They want that money for sure.
They want to audit every one of you because they don't trust you, but in return, we're
supposed to trust that everything they're doing is good and we don't have to worry
about any of that stuff.
No audited financials on every governmental institution on its way by these guys and we're
excited about it.
We'll talk about some of the numbers here on what's coming up
Story here Daily Mail Elon Musk vows to root out the highest paid corrupt bureaucrats
MAGA head of JFK files task force claims ready there were two shooters what?
What now we find out 60 something years later there were two shooters?
Weird.
Yeah, two shooters, right?

see why he's saying that.
We'll talk about that.

That's a little bit disturbing.
We'll cover that as well.

He says, no, no, no.
I'd like to do that now.
I said, what kind of money you got?
Do you have cash?
He says, I'm sitting on $100 million.
My net worth is $300 million.
I said, let me introduce you to my guy.
Introduce him to the guy.
Six months later he becomes a professional sports owner of the team that he wanted to
get through. And that was all because of Meneck professional sports owner of the team that he wanted to get through.
And that was all because of Manek.
These are context relationships that happened on Manek.
But on the fourth, we're introducing something called the Circle Economy.
So imagine all of you that are watching this, all of you that are curious about the stories,
that like debate, that like these discussions, but you want to be able to communicate with
the entire community of PVD Podcasts in a circle.

Having said that, let's get right into it.
Doge slashes over $100 million in DEI funding at Education Department win for every student.
Okay, so this story's coming out,
and this is backed up by Trump wanting
to go after Federal Reserve.
Well, let me first read this to you here.
Department of Education Efficiency Doge,
led by Llamas, announced termination
of 89 Department of Education contracts
worth $881 million, including $101 million
in diversity, equity, and inclusion funding.
The canceled DI training programs aim to help students understand and interrogate the complex
histories involved in oppression and recognize areas of privilege and power must react to
the spending of stating your tax dollars were spent on this.
Rob, do you have a clip on this by the way?
Is this it?
This is, yes, Jesse Waters last night from Fox News kind of breaking down what they stripped from the department of education
Go ahead the whole government's being audited the Department of Education is being actively dismantled
The dozers are in the building on the sixth floor canceling grants and contracts
Nearly a billion dollars of wasteful contracts were ripped up yesterday.
Like this one. A contractor was paid $1.5 million to observe mailing and clerical operations at one
mail center. Did you see $1.5 million? Sky was observing mail being opened and being sent for $1.5 mil. This is the kind of no-show job a mob boss gives their cousin.
Doe's also terminated 29 DEI training programs at the Department of Education
worth over a hundred million dollars. By the way, one and a half million
dollars is $750 an hour is what you're making. Let me say that again.
$750 an hour they're paying somebody making. Let me say that again. $750 an hour, they're paying somebody
to watch others do what they're doing
if the math breaks down to one and a half million year.
Tom, what do you know about what's going on here
with Doge and them going after the Department of Education?
So the Department of Education has long been thought
to be nothing more than an indoctrination lab.
Like the things they're doing in Washington,
they're pushing it out.
It's like they're pushing policies out. Like you can see the things that they were talking about.
And Nick Naley praised the move and he was the education president. He said,
DEI was never about equity. It was about enforcing ideological things and institutionalizing them
from the federal level down to the state.
Shutting down the wasteful programs is a win for the student.
So now, you know, you would send your kids to school and all of a sudden there's this
saying, well, the federal government and therefore the school board is going to follow the federal
government and we're going to do this and we're going to do that.
And all of a sudden those books would show up that you're upset about and say, wait a
minute, you know, Sarah has two mommies and that's okay
and it's way worse than that.
So what was happening is the Department of Education
was not working to move test scores,
meaning to measure nation's youth to see
is reading and math improving.
The Department of Education was off that.
Were they, did they control certain things to standardize testing?
Well, sure, they designated them, but they were out there pushing programs down, and
the Department of Education was nothing more than a liberal think tank that was pushing
policy down to our schools, which is why Trump and how many conservative governors are correctly
pointing out, hey, if you want to help me, federal government sends monies to the states all the time for this or that.
Send us the money and let us work on the schools and improving test scores.
It's indoctrination.
And now when you rip off the cover of the budget and you expose the table of contents,
it's exactly what we saw in Jesse Waters, exactly the things you've talked about, Pat. And it is nothing more than programs coming from the federal
government to change the minds of our youth. And guess what? It's not going to make a
bit of difference in the education of them.
By the way, I want to read this and Vinny, I'm going to come to you here. Watch this
here folks from the Hill. Students half a grade behind pre-pandemic levels in math, reading, this is study finds,
okay, the 2025 education recovery scorecard found that the average student in 2024 remained
nearly half a grade level behind pre-pandemic achievement in math and reading.
The study which analyzed data from 8719 school districts across 43 states using national
assessment of education programs, NAEP, and
the state results reported that no state scored higher on NAEP assessment in 2024 than they
did in 2019.
That is insane.
Not one state scored higher than they did in 2019.
While 17% of students were in districts with mean math achievements above that of 2019,
only 6% of students in the districts
where the scores have recovered in both subjects, only 6% have recovered.
The other 94 have not.
The study revealed growing educational disparities with highest income districts nearly four
times more likely to have recovered in both subjects than the low income districts.
The gap in math scores between high income the low income districts, the gap in math scores
between high income and low income districts has grown by 11% since the start of the pandemic,
while the gap between predominantly non-minority and predominantly minority districts has grown
by 15%.
So the Hill is not a conservative outlet.
It's a liberal outlet.
They're writing this, my feeling,
is the fact that they're trying to say, if they get rid of the Department of Education,
this is even going to make it worse. That's what they're trying to claim, right? That's
what they're trying to say. But even Bill Maher, when he was saying, I almost agree
with everything Rahm Emanuel says, he says there's a reason why this doesn't work. Kids
are not getting better grades because of this, so the fact that they're auditing
them getting deeper to see where the hell is this money going, how are we holding these
guys accountable to do a better job with our students, I think that's a good thing.
Vinny, your thoughts?
Vinny Hines Yeah, well, there's a guy that told me to
read this book called Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill.
His name is Patrick.
You might know him.
And one of the main things that the book had,, you could attest to this, was that traditional education system suppresses independent thinking and creativity in schools.
They teach kids to conform, memorize, and obey, then develop critical thinking and self-reliance. So the education system is a tool to keep kids trapped. It doesn't surprise me that all this money and all this suppression it's there was two things. It was religion how religion keeps everybody
separated and it was a school system and just to take a step back as Tom reminded me think
about what Fauci did what they did with the pandemic and all the policies Tom that screwed
over the same students in public schools in public schools. So it's like and again this
is just on top of the list pad of all the other stuff where kids are
the most neglected.
There's a million of them missing from the border, 300,000 here, 200,000 here.
They're the most neglected.
But I think this type of situation is one of the best things, Pat, because they're
exposing all these people for who they are.
Yeah, by the way, if your kid is over 12 years old, have them read Outwitting the Devil.
Thousand percent.
I had my son read Outwitting the Devil. 1000%. I had my son read Outwitting the Devil.
Now my second son is reading Outwitting the Devil.
And he's 11 years old.
He's going to go through this book as well.
It gives them the ability to think for themselves without being brainwashed.
That's really what it is because there's a lot of brainwashing going on.
Rob, how heated would you say the debate was yesterday about folks being brainwashed?
And he says, I cannot believe you would think that two-thirds of Iranian people would be
brainwashed to turn against the Shah.
And I'm like, what?
What are you talking about?
Brainwashing works.
You know, I asked him a question.
I said, let me ask you a question.
You sound like somebody that probably believed, and by the way, the person I'm talking about
is Mohsen Sazeghal, who was the former founder.
He was the founder of the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was here yesterday
for two and a half hour podcast.
Never done this before.
I said, let me ask you a question.
I said, you claim brainwashing doesn't work.
No, you can't brainwash more than half the populace.
I said, really?
Did you believe in the Russia collusion that Trump was tied to it?
He couldn't answer for three seconds.
He says, well, I read two books and one of the books said the fact that, you know, etc.,
etc.
I said, really?
I said, Rob, can you pull up a number on what percentage of Americans believe that Trump
was tied to Russia collusion?
Remember when you pulled up that study, Rob?
Over half of Americans believe.
Over 50 brainwashes.
Brainwashing worse.
100%.
Especially when they start with kids early.
Bingo. Tom, I know you have more thoughts on this.
Yeah, this is also, you know, there were the states, so every state had the issue, meaning
in every single state, when you took those poor kids out of classrooms, and the public
schools didn't have as much resources for Zoom and things like this to have the kids
at home, my girls were, and your kids, were on Zoom, and I forced this to have the kids at home. My girls were
and your kids were on Zoom and I forced them to be on and I made sure they kept
reading and they stayed on it. Not every parent was doing that and in the public
schools is where it hit the hardest. Yep. Because they didn't and plus you had
teachers saying well I'm working from home and I'm wearing a mask of you know
25 hours a day and I'm not going to do this all of that thinking
These poor kids at the public school level. That's why this report is called the education
Recovery scorecard. Yeah looking at things post-pandemic
But you know what?
Government never met something didn't want to manipulate and I think Pat you made the best point of the last 10 minutes here
The hill is is trying to build the case.
I'm just going to wait.
You predicted that they would be trying to pit Elon Musk and Trump against each other.
I'm going to follow your lead here.
I predict we're going to start seeing stories that say Trump is impeding kids' ability
to recover from COVID. They're going to admit the kids had a problem with COVID, and Trump is impeding kids ability to recover from COVID.
They're gonna admit the kids had a problem with COVID
and Trump is impeding their ability to recover
because he closed down the Department of Education.
Because I believe you're exactly right, your observation.
I hadn't thought that way and I believe you're right.
They're running this story to plant the seed
to blame Trump when really what the story proves
is that the public school kids
were messed up the worst by COVID.
Let me read this next story,
and then Adam is officially here.
Adam, I'm gonna come to you.
So Elon Musk warns Federal Reserve may face a Doge audit.
Okay, Elon Musk is wanting to go out to Federal Reserve next.
He signaled that the Federal Reserve
could face an audit by Doge, stating all aspects
of the government must be fully transparent and accountable to the people, no exceptions
including if not specially the Federal Reserve.
Musk has long criticized the central bank, calling its workforce bloated and questioning
its monetary policy decisions.
Musk previously claimed that the Fed has a crazy high number of employees and criticized
its handling of interest rates, stating in August that the Fed needs to drop rates and
has been foolish not to have done so already.
The Federal Reserve later cut rates in September, followed by additional cuts in November and
December.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell dismissed Musk's claim that the central banks absurdly overstaffed,
stating, we run a very careful budget process and we're fully aware we owe that to the
public and we believe fully aware we owe that to the public and
we believe we do that.
Rob, I think you got a clip of Jerome Powell if you don't mind playing.
Here's Jerome Powell.
Would you say that the Fed is overstaffed?
No, I would say that, you know, overworked maybe, not overstaffed.
Everybody at the Fed works really hard.
It's a place where people work very hard.
I love this conversation right now about staffing numbers at different departments
and agencies. You know, it's going back to this sense of the taxpayer dollar, you
know, in terms of accountability there. But I guess I just want to ask you, is
the Fed paid for by the taxpayer dollars? Can you explain to us what the burden
is on the taxpayer? So we're self-funding through our large balance
sheet.
So when it comes to the staffing at the Federal Reserve, not coming from the taxpayers, is that right?
You know, indirectly, we give away all of our profits we give back to Treasury,
and those profits would be higher if we didn't pay for the Fed.
So in fairness, it does ultimately come, it's ultimately paid for by the taxpayer.
What does that mean?
In that sense, we're self-funded self-funded Yeah
Just one last question here
You talked about the different actors that are involved when it comes to levying tariffs in terms of paying that the exporter
Yeah, the importer the consumer he said middlemen could be part of that
I guess I just want to ask you do you know of any way in which to 100% guarantee that the consumers will not have to pay higher
costs when it comes to tariffs?
Not really.
It's not going to be easy to identify with any accuracy exactly where costs do fall,
but I think it would be hard to guarantee any particular outcome.
I think we're just going to have to see.
Great.
Thank you.
Got it. have to see. Great, thank you. So, by the way, the Federal Reserve has roughly 23,974 employees and their operations are
primarily funded by the interest they make off the securities they own.
So that's kind of what he's talking about, the additional money being sent back to the
Treasury.
But, Adam, your thoughts on this story?
Well, I don't think it's any secret that Jerome Powell and Trump have had a long-standing
beef. I believe that Trump, when he was in his first term in 2016-17, he would basically
demand that Jerome Powell would lower the interest rates. Jerome Powell wouldn't do
it. It was sort of immune from Trump's criticism. I believe Jerome Powell's tenure at the Fed is up in 2026, like Trump appointed
him, I believe in 2016. And it's can you believe it's in 10 years later? And I think his term
is coming up. But look, I think overall, if you had to give a grade to what Jerome Powell
has done, I would say B plus a minus, I would not say that he's done a bad job. The whole premise is the Fed should be immune from presidential directives and
basically what I mean, if Trump might feel a certain way, and then all of a sudden he
feels a certain way the next day, he's sort of holding down a steady ship. And I think
he's doing a pretty decent job. We've gone through COVID.
What do you think about? What do you think about? Ilan talking about accountability. So as far as Ilan goes, you know who can get it? Anybody
can get it. I feel like every single institution, every single part of government should not
be immune from going through this. You know how Santa has his has his list is not naughty
and nice list and he's checking his list and he's checking it twice. Every single part
of government should be checked, what if they every single government should be checked what if they're independent and
what if they're independent and taxpayers are not paying for it what if
what if there's a level of independence time do you think Doge has the
jurisdiction to audit Federal Reserve or do you think that's a little bit of
because of the way the money is being made it's got to be a different level of accountability? Well I I think Doge has
the authority and a lot of people say well Federal Reserve is really the
fourth branch of government and they're somewhat autonomous. I mean we've heard
that dating back forever. Well when Jerome Powell says I think we run a very
efficient operation I think people are working very hard.
Okay, maybe that's true.
That's okay.
Let's say it's true.
But the best run public companies still by law have to have an audit every year.
If you're on the stock market, you have to have an audit, you have to publish your quarterly
reports and even the best run public companies find opportunities to improve.
So the the don't bother me part
of this and that's not exactly what he's saying but it is what he means is I
disagree with very strongly. I think Doge has the ability to audit and I think
they should audit. Even the most best-run companies have an audit every year so
why shouldn't the Federal Reserve especially with 23,000 employees and by
the way I'd like to say something about what Powell said.
Did you hear him at the end?
He said, well, it's not easy to identify with any accuracy where costs in the economy come
from.
You hear that?
Yet there's headlines out there saying Trump is causing inflation.
So maybe Jen Psaki should go work for the Fed.
Apparently she's figured it out. Whereas
the Fed themselves are saying, man, it's not easy to invite any accuracy where these costs
are coming from this a little early. So a I, I, I think Doge says the authority and
I think they should
do don't we just show a video on Tuesday of Ben Bernanke not knowing where a half a trillion
dollars went. Yep. And wasn't he the chairman of the Fed right before Janet Yellen who was the chairman of the Fed right before
Jerome Powell, so listen the whole premise of the
Doge Department of Government efficiency is accountability and open up your book. I'm just trying to see Rob
Can you do me a favor go on Google or do you have chat GBT if you got it?
Yep, go on that and ask the question does Doge have the jurisdiction to audit the Federal
Reserve?
Does Doge have the jurisdiction to audit the Federal Reserve?
Rob, you're a fantastic typer by the way.
Thank you.
Let's see here.
Okay, zoom in a little bit.
No.
Does not have the jurisdiction.
The Federal Reserve independently entered the U.S. government and is all the primary
conducted by the GAO, Government Accountability Office, which can audit certain aspects of the Fed,
but it is restricted from auditing monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve's own Inspector General, IG, who conducts the internal audit, which
is pathetic, external independent auditors who review the financial statements.
Okay, so wouldn't DOGE be an external, well independent is what it is, of the Federal
Reserve.
It is independent of the Federal Reserve.
If you mean DOJ in reference to something else like, no I'm talking about the Department
of Government Efficiency.
Okay, so then who does GAO, the Government Accountability Office, who has that?
Who does GAO report to?
Who does GAO report to? Who does GAO report to?
The government accountability,
I report directly to Congress.
GAO is independent, unpartisan,
Chicago's agency, but sometimes it's the controller
of the United States, who leads the GAO president 15 year.
Okay, so then, by the way,
no, the only reason I'm looking at this is because if you,
I want that to happen.
I'd like to see it.
But you need to go through,
I remember when Vivek was first getting started,
he was saying a lot of this stuff that we can't do ourselves, that we have to go through
Congress.
This is what Vivek was talking about, that they're going to need some of these areas,
they need Congress's help to be able to do that.
Tom, am I spot on?
Am I on track here with what I'm talking about?
Tom Hanks Absolutely.
And as a matter of fact, there's something that impresses me here and I'm going to throw a golden thank
you in your direction.
You were always trying to educate everyone at PHP at the big conferences.
You had people that would come in from different things.
We had politicians came in and talk.
It was Santorum came there one year.
But the year before you had a Comptroller General of the United States, David Walker
came and talked.
And so you've tried to educate this but the way I read this is
David Walker, you know is
appointed by the president
So in other words
Congress the GAO may report to Congress, but the Comptroller is appointed by the president's what it just said there, right?
So there's how there's like the check and balance of our government right that okay Congress
will you know is the power of the purse and GAO reports to Congress but over
here the president will report will appoint the Comptroller General who
leads it and that's part of our checks and balances so I think when you peel
this back there is purview for DOJ on the Federal Reserve.
It may not be literal, you report to me, but I think there's a clear path here for auditing.
But I don't think it can go through DOJ, is what I'm trying to say.
I think there's a part of it, a part of it where for Elon is, and he's pulling it off right now, helping him work with Trump, is okay, there's certain
things as a doer that you're going to get done because you know you're controlling,
you trust your instincts, right?
Trusting your instincts and intuition, most people don't have a high score on that, okay?
Elon's got a high score on that area.
Instincts and intuition. Great. This area, even if it's high instinct, high intuition, you still need Congress.
You're going to need to go sell Congress on this idea.
And I don't know what percentage you need.
I don't know how it's going to work out to be able to get it done.
But I would want to do an audit and find out what's going on with Federal Reserve.
By the way, Rob, do you have a clip of what happened this last week with President Trump and Elon Musk being in the
office with his son and not this one, just when they're talking to each other.
If you have the clip of them together in an office, not this one Rob.
There's one where Musk is there, President Trump is sitting down, while he's sitting
down, Musk is behind him speaking and his son is kind of running around doing this thing, and you watched the press conference, you saw the exchange between the
two of them.
If you got the clip, I'd like to show it.
If you go on Twitter, just type in Musk and Trump press conference.
Musk and Trump press conference.
Press conference.
It went for like 40, 45 minutes?
Yeah, it was long.
That's kind of what it looked like.
Okay, if you want to, you know, is there a highlight of it?
Or this is- Yeah, let me find one.
Yeah, if you go to,
pick the shortest one you got.
109, right here.
Go for it, go for it with that one, go ahead.
So here's Trump and Musk.
Free the builders of America to build.
And if we do that, that means, I think,
you get the economic growth to be maybe 3, 4%, maybe 5%.
And that means if you can get a trillion dollars of economic growth,
and you cut the budget deficit by a trillion, between now and next year, there is no inflation.
There's no inflation in 26.
So you can pause this. You can pause this. I mean, you watched the whole thing, right?
Your thoughts on this exchange between Musk and Trump and the son being there running around picking his nose.
It's kind of weird because, I mean, obviously Trump doesn't have any little kids, but for Elon,
and by the way, I love it. I love that he's proud that he's a freaking father. He has how many? 11?
11 of them. And the kid was having fun picking his nose. I don't know. I think he might have been
talking to a reporter going, you shut your mouth. It was funny, it was cute, but the dynamic between them, Pat,
was very very interesting because Trump is sitting there and he's saying, you
know, all right, Elon, go ahead. And Elon was answering a lot of freaking questions
and he was going in-depth. It was long, but I felt the uncomfortableness of
Trump because Trump, when they're in there, he's the talker Pat.
He's the one that's in there.
But it was an interesting dynamic because he let Elon go.
But like I mean as you guys saw, Elon's there and Trump is just kind of you know waiting
to talk which was kind of awkward but it's undeniable the stuff that Elon was saying
and the exposure of everybody and all these things even though they were trying to fight back like when they said about the what was it how many millions of dollars 50
million dollars for condoms in Gaza something like that.
That's a lot of comments.
Yeah it was a lot of but then they're like you know it was false reporting because it
went to somewhere in Africa and he's like what does it matter where the 50 million dollars
went to Gaza or Zimbabwe where through Gaza or or Zimbabwe?
Where was it was a Zimbabwe Robbie if it left the u.s. When people in North Carolina are suffering from a hurricane exactly
So it was it was interesting. It was long. I think I mean if you're having your kid in the white like he's picking his nose
He's acting crazy. I mean, I think it's a kind of a distraction
I know you let you love your kid, but that that is something serious. I think you can
Rob play this clip this picture here that you see
Kennedy with his son and you see
Was this under the yeah, you know the legendary picture Rob. I just sent you it's the picture of a history photograph
These guys do a phenomenal job
Yeah right there if you if you go to the tweet,
not this one Rob, it's actually a tweet. I send you the tweet if you can go to the tweet.
Yeah right there okay so they put it right next to each other right. So you see Kennedy on the left
but then there's Trump not with his son. Exactly. Trump with Musk's son. So I don't know. I don't
know about the fact that and by the way what is the clip that you're talking about? Shut your mouth. Can you play one of those two
clips Rob? I think there's a you just literally had two of them up. Yeah do do
one of them first and then do the other angle because I think you got two of
them. Do the other one first. Okay. You have both of them right up there.
Right there. Play this clip. from one year to the next are the same and their and their
is he talking to the reporter? No his eyes are not directly to Trump. Yeah it's still the
other one Rob go to the other one that you have go to the other one and zoom
this in go ahead. And the prices from one year to the next are the same and they're, and they're, he doesn't like the media back.
So you know, 34 minutes Trump sitting, Musk standing up.
Yes.
But if you watch the, if whoever's going to be out there to watch the whole clip, he is
saying at the pleasure of the president, and I mean he's giving all the right credit.
I just felt as when Trump's in the room, you know this, he's the talker.
He's the guy. There's the guy there's cameras it's him talking it was very very
interesting to see him literally give the baton to Elon and let him go and you
already know what happened the media like oh he should be sitting in the
chair he's a president I don't think it's getting to Trump but you could feel
that it was a little bit awkward and it doesn't help when there's a kid picking
his nose and telling the media What do you think about it?
So I I thought at that moment that wasn't the place to have to have a child there with you
You're talking about the economy United States. You're talking about things are going forward, you know, I appreciate that
Elon takes X everywhere, but that's not the place for a kid
It's distracting for exactly this reason when important points are being made first second
They have set up the Oval Office almost like a permanent press conference
Have you seen the wide shots everybody there?
Yeah, they got tripods extension cord seats a little riser in the back
so they have set this up like a permanent press conference place and
This I think is not the place for this. I don't think this is the stage for this.
I think the president at the resolute desk
speaks for himself for the country and sets vision.
I would have preferred to see this.
You know the long cabinet table that they have?
And then the president will be there
and others will be speaking.
Well, I'm here with the defense secretary.
John, why don't you tell them what we talked about?
And then the president's sort of at a meeting
allowing his staff to speak
I think that's a better look for this and so, you know Adam your thoughts. That's what I thought
I freaking love it. I mean, are you kidding me? I mean this the the the days of
Doing business as usual are officially over. Look, we're
37 trillion dollars in debt. We're running a $2 trillion annual deficit and we just can't
continue to do things we've always done. Thank God we have someone like Trump that comes
in and he's like, you know what? F you, F you, F you. You're cool, Elon. You can stay.
Let's figure this thing out. We got to get efficient. We got to get accountable. We got
to get proficient. What we're doing in this country, whether it's from a cultural standpoint, from an economic standpoint, from an immigration standpoint,
Trump has a mandate to clean this mess up. And you're talking to somebody who basically
fell for the Russia, Russia, Russia stuff, who fell for the grab them by the stuff. Now
I want him to grab everybody by the blank and clean up this day, this damn country.
So special interest groups
in Washington, you can get it lobbyists, you can get it. Everyone that's just sucking at
the teat of DC, you can get it. How many of the top 10 counties in the country are richest
country counties in the country are around the DMV area, I think five out of 10. You've
done that you've done a whole breakdown about how basically
anyone near Washington, D.C. is fricking rich
in the DMV area, D.C., Maryland, Virginia.
Enough's enough.
I'm with all of that.
I'll give you a basic etiquette for me, okay?
The basic etiquette for me is,
I don't have a problem with you having your kids everywhere
that you go, all this other stuff.
If President Trump said it's okay, then it's his call.
If President Trump says it's okay, he said it's okay.
But if President Trump's grandkids are there,
I don't have a problem with that.
He's the president.
There's gotta be a little bit of etiquette in this setting They can be anywhere else press conference behind that desk in the Oval Office
That is sacred and it's kept for president and his kids. This is me. You can call it traditional
You can call it whatever you want. That's the only thing I'm saying right here. This is not a big deal
All I'm saying is when something like that is happening, I think anywhere else in the
world that can happen.
I don't give kids, I actually love the fact that kids, I love seeing Elon with his son
on his back.
I love doing that with Senna.
I have a picture, the only picture I've never changed on my phone is, it's been the same
picture the kids fight over whose picture is on the phone.
It's been the same picture of me and Senna since she was two years old.
She's eight years old right now.
This picture has never changed, okay, on my phone.
I love, this is when I used to walk her in Plano around our community, she would fall
asleep on my head.
She would put her head like this on her hands and she would fall asleep.
It was the best when I would do that with her.
But Oval Office, if the president said no problem, fine. But if the president
deep down inside wouldn't want that, it needs to be a little bit more protection for, and
you got to kind of stand on the side of the table, not behind it. You got to stand a little
bit to the side of the table when they're speaking and standing all of that.
Can I tell you one of the things that I actually love what you do, and I understand the, you
know, tradition and respect and obviously with that, but love what you do and I understand the you know tradition
and respect and obviously with that but like when you interviewed Shaq you had Dylan on
stage with you yeah that was amazing I mean he calls him Uncle Shaq even at the at the
election event you had Dylan on stage with you there there's there's something human
I agree about but especially when you bring your kids even when there's one room in the world. Yep there's one room in the world that's super sacred and as this room and
This room has to be protecting of the man sitting behind that shit like that chair right there. Mm-hmm
There's got to be respect for that shit. That's all I'm saying. By the way, Elon's given respect. He's standing on the side
It's good, but just something to think about behind him massaging or something like that
No And you know why I'm saying this don't give the media more So just something to think about. I mean if he was behind him massaging or something like that, that would be a little awkward.
And you know why I'm saying this?
Don't give the media more things to talk about.
Don't give it to them.
They're going to find already plenty of stuff.
Don't give them any additional things to be talking about.
Anyways, okay, so let's go to the next story of what we have here. California's insurer of last resort runs out of money to pay LA's fire claims.
So let's see this here.
California's insurer of last resort, the fair plan, has run out of money to cover claims
from devastating LA fires and will receive a billion dollar bailout.
By the way, the fair plan, you know the fair plan that's supposed to take care of all these guys?
It ran out of money and needs a bailout of a billion dollars.
State regulators announced Tuesday the fire destroyed roughly 6,800 structures in Pacific
Palisades and 9,400 in Altadena, leaving homeowners who could not get private insurance dependent
on fare.
To date, the plan has paid $914 million in claims
with more expected.
California's insurance commissioner, Ricardo Lara,
approved a billion dollar assessment on insurance companies
that operate in the state,
allowing insurance to pass some of the costs
onto policyholders,
potentially raising homeowners insurance price statewide.
Tom, your thoughts on the story.
This pisses me off at a high, high level because if you read that last sentence, Commissioner
Ricardo Lara approved a one billion assessment.
There's two things here.
America, we're sending a billion dollars to California to help bail out the fair plan
because of poor forestry management, old equipment from PG&E that would spark and start fires,
poor management of reservoirs, poor water management, poor funding of fire departments,
all of which caused this, even if it was a natural start of the fire during fire season,
all of it caused it to be worse and to be the incredible tragedy, the unprecedented
record setting tragedy, and a billion dollar bailout.
Guess where it's going to come from it's going to come via FEMA and it's
Going to come back to California because the states don't run permanent deficits
They have to find a way and that's when they reach out for government grants and government money to do that
The second thing you did because there's two billion. That's the first billion the second billion
He approved a one billion dollar assessment insurance companies companies. When the state of California puts an
assessment on the insurance companies, Vinny, you know what that means they can
do? They can pass that on to the subjects of the assessment, the policyholders in
California. So you can take that billion and you can spread it across the
policies next year. So for the people that manage to still have insurance
from a carrier that manages to still be doing business
in California, they're gonna have a rate increase
so that the carriers can pay for this.
This starts at the top with bad management of the forestry
and the things that I talked about.
And now you end up here, that's the upstream.
It starts with Gavin Newsom, and then you end up all the way at the bottom, Gavin Newsom,
asking the federal government for money,
and then changing the rules where it's been burnt down,
telling people you can't rebuild your house,
you're gonna have to build low income housing.
This is the biggest screw job on property owners
whether you lost your company, you lost your house,
or you're still in the state
and gonna have rates go up even higher.
So here's how this works, so here's how this works, okay.
Vinny, imagine if you are very irresponsible
with your finances, okay?
So you go ask,
you go ask your mom for money to bail you out,
because you don't want to go to your dad.
Great.
Then you go and ask your dad for money.
Then they bail you out.
Then after they bail you out, you go back again.
You go back again.
You depleted their savings.
They're done.
Then you go to your siblings.
Then you go to your next brother. Then you go to your next brother.
Then you go to the next sister.
You're asking everybody for money because you are irresponsible.
Then you keep coming back to mom.
Then you keep coming back.
And then all of a sudden, you hate everybody because they're not paying you anymore.
Now you don't want to talk to them because they're like, well, you know, you didn't bail
me out.
You didn't bail me out.
You didn't bail me out.
You just stole half of your dad's money, your mom's money because you've been begging them
for so much money.
That's what California is doing.
So first they're like, no, California is a great state.
Everybody moves to California.
We have the best weather, we have the best everybody moves to California.
Then people start creating jobs and all this stuff.
Oh my God, start making money.
Then they start raising taxes, gas taxes, this tax, that tax.
So now we're going to put money into homeless, we're going to fix homelessness, don't worry
about it, 24 billion dollars are missing.
Then you go to homeowners insurance.
Well homeowners insurance, how about these other insurance companies come here and compete
and whatever the market is, let them do it.
Oh you know what, we're starting to pay out a lot of money in California, year over year
over year.
The state of California becomes a red flag, red alert and every board meeting of top homeowners
insurance companies nationwide, they're like, dude, we've got to do something about California.
Raise the rates.
Oh, regulators in California came and said, you can't raise the rates above this price.
Then what are we supposed to do?
Oh, by the way, they're forcing you right now.
If you want to be able to get this business, you're forced to participate in this fair
act, fair plan to insure these companies and you're going to take a percentage of the risk.
Wait a minute.
I can't do that. This is what we're going to do.
The government's here to always take care of you.
And now California is coming back and saying, hey, we forced insurance companies out.
We forced them to do a fair plan.
We forced them to do this because we said the government's going to solve your problem.
Hey, we failed miserably.
Guess who we're coming back to?
You.
Oh no.
Taxpayers.
You got to help out California.
And people are saying, no, I'm not going to help you out anymore, bro.
You can't handle yourself.
You always want to go to siblings or family or people for money.
I'm not giving you money anymore.
Get your act together when it comes down to money.
So then there's a following out.
All you care about is money.
All you care about is money.
California is saying that to all the other states in the government.
But you're exposed eventually and it takes 10, 15 years and everybody finds out you suck
at handling money.
That's what's going on with California.
By the way, Rob, there's a clip I put on my notes, if you can pull this off.
There's something going on right now with New York.
Bill O'Reilly said something I think everybody should watch.
I'm going to first read this story, then I'm going to go to this clip.
It's unbelievable. Let me read this to you first.
Here's what it is.
Okay, so the story is, Rob, what page is that on?
Let me see if I have the page.
Is it an addendum?
It's an addendum.
Okay.
So you're next.
DOG files lawsuit against New York, Hoco, Letitia James over immigration.
This is an NBC story, and here's what it looks like, okay?
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit
against New York City Hoco Attorney General Letitia James and the MV Commissioner Mark
Schroeder stating that this is a new DOJ.
Rob, if you have the clip of this first, then we'll go to Bill O'Reilly's.
This is a new DOJ and we are taking steps to protect Americans.
New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens.
It stops today the lawsuit challenges New York's Green Light law, which allows undocumented
immigrants to obtain driver's license and includes a provision requiring the DMV Commission
to notify them when a federal immigration agency requests their information.
Bondi warns.
President Trump has directed this to stop and if you won't comply with federal law,
you will be held accountable. Read it to Illinois, strike one, strike two is New York.
And if you are a state not complying with federal law, you are next to get ready. Pam Bondi stood
alongside Tammy Nobles and Angel Mom. Is this them talking? Did I just pretty much read everything
she said? Yes.
Okay, so don't worry about playing the clip.
So then, by the way, she stands next to Tammy Nobles, an angel mom whose 20-year-old daughter
was killed in Aberdeen, Maryland in July 2022 by someone from El Salvador who entered the
country illegally months earlier in Texas.
So that's this.
Watch what Bill O'Reilly says on this whole thing and then he ties Newsom in California
at the end.
Just watch this three-minute clip.
Go ahead, Rob.
Trump wants to get Letitia James and Alvin Bragg.
That's what this story is all about.
Nothing else there.
He went after Illinois because he wants to get Pritzker.
Hates him.
Hates him.
And the way to do that is to deny the states of Illinois and New York the federal grant
money.
The New York Post reports today $8 billion is going to get held up by the Justice Department
that would have flowed into New York State, which is running an astronomical deficit here.
The easiest way to do this is to file civil suits against the governor and the attorney
general.
Then the question was, why is the mayor of New York left out?
Because he doesn't matter.
He doesn't matter.
Trump wants to get Letitia James.
Good.
Hokel is just an ornament.
Doesn't have any bad feeling toward Hokel, Trump.
But Adams, the deal that was made, I don't know what Adams is giving Trump.
I have to tell the audience upfront.
I don't know and I don't use anonymous sources
But I again call after call after call
That said and all of these people have agendas who are calling it. They all have agendas
All right, and they're saying that
Adams knows where the bodies are very
Listen with James and Brad
Listen just throwing it out keep for your consumption with James and Brad. Wow. Listen.
Just throwing it out.
Keep watching.
For your consumption.
I'm not reporting it to be true, but it kind of makes sense, right?
It's kind of weird that, like, you can say he has no power, but he's in charge of the
city, and when they went after Pritzker in Illinois, they named Chicago, and they went
after the mayor.
Yeah, I'm just saying, you know,
if you're going after the city of Chicago, you name the mayor.
No, Johnson and Adams have no power whatsoever. None. They do what they're told to do. The real
power lies in the state legislature. Now, in both Illinois and New York, state legislature gives the
big middle finger to Homeland Security. Blank you.
Maybe Anderson Cooper could articulate it a little more than I am by using some vernacular.
Wait for it.
But that's what's happening.
And the Trump administration knows that these mayors, this is like the utility infielder
on the New York Yankees who plays maybe three innings a week.
These guys have no power.
They do what they're told to do.
The big power is Newsom in California, and Newsom's next.
Hey, Gavin, they're coming for you.
Pritzker's going to get destroyed, and Trump will bring down, and I'm going to predict
it here, he will bring down Let my I'm gonna predict it here
he will bring down let's issue James and Alvin Bragg because they went on a crusade to destroy him and
President Trump is not a forgiving man
What what how do you believe it?
Yes, I do and I think what what Bill O'Reilly has just done is gone past the headlines
I do and I think what what Bill O'Reilly has just done is gone past the headlines
One of the things I used to enjoy about Bill O'Reilly was the talking points memo because I used to think it was very well thought out and it was very
Articulate and specific and would take you as a viewer down the path to see what he's talking about. He's right
He's calling the current mayor. The mayorors are ornaments. The real power of state legislature.
The real thing is the governor.
And so he's going after them.
I believe that they're right.
And by the way, this is not a revenge campaign.
This was judicial activism illegally using the power
of the judiciary and the AG to go after a political opponent.
The Biden administration was completely complicit or lose one of the three.
They either liked what was going on and didn't stop it.
They instigated it or they called the shot.
One way or another, the Biden administration was right there with Letitia James.
Do you think Letitia James files those suits?
If the Biden administration doesn't,
read it and say, yeah, I like it.
Wait a minute.
The fifth count there, kind of move it around a little bit.
And Alvin Bragg, remember we broke down
how he turned three counts into 14, whatever it was?
When he made every check was, oh, you wrote the check,
you signed the check, you processed the check,
and each step he was claiming was a misdemeanor grade three, which he rolled up to felony, low level felony.
Yeah, guess what?
You can't do that.
That's militarizing the Justice Department, and guess what?
It's illegal.
And they're going to find out what they did was complicit, was conspiratorial, and in
my opinion, that's what's gonna happen here and what Bill O'Reilly is unpacking is how that?
What is the method that's gonna go and Pam Bondi? Let me tell you she means business
She means business she might as you might as well play the Darth Vader music bum bum
I love I love it because she's coming for it because what these people did is they cross the line
And I think why they did it is because they thought Tom
They thought that this plan that the entire left the deep whatever the hell you want to call them
It was all gonna work. Let's try to destroy him. Let's try to say he was you know the R word
I don't even want to say that he did it with that crazy was that crazy girls name the
Blonde chick that told and Anderson Cooper that she thought rape was-
E. Jean Carroll.
E. Jean Carroll.
All that, the Stormy Daniels, everything.
Tom, if you're going all in as a prosecutor and as a IG,
you were promised, like, hey, listen, we're gonna win,
we're gonna destroy him, there's no way he's gonna win,
and then there's an assassination attempt, failed.
They thought that they thought either Biden
or Kamala was gonna be president right now, and that they thought either Biden or
Kamala was going to be president right now and that they were going to be fine.
They had no idea that he was going to win. They went all in.
And this makes me so freaking happy. I hope it doesn't stop with them.
It doesn't stop with Newsom and Fauci.
I know the states are going to be going after him. It's accountability time.
And we have who have been behind this freaking movement for nine years.
We deserve it. And I want to see it.
All of it.
Do you remember the liberal media would sit there and say, do you think, is he going to
prison?
Is he going to prison?
And they'd be up there talking to each other with orgasmic glee.
That they just couldn't wait for him to be there.
Well, when he's sentenced, when he goes, and you would hear that word goes, and they were
thinking that he was going to be in prison.
Or dead, Tom.
Or dead.
And you're finding out now, some of those people you mentioned or the corner loan shark he's going after Capone.
Yes.
A lot of people think that Trump you know after he got shot he sort of found Jesus and
found God he's become more religious.
I actually think it's something a little bit different than I think he's on his almost
gladiator Maximus Decimus Meridius revenge tour and he's just gonna make
Everybody pay I don't think of this has to do with like I have a second chance on life and let me
Get closer to God and let me
Do all the right things. I think he's completely and I mean this in a positive way
Vindictive and wants to vindicate himself from everything that happened. I feel like he'd watched the movieiator and it basically was like my name is Donald Trump, Decimus Meridius, commander of the legions of the North and the true servant of the true emperor Marcus
Aurelius, husband to a murdered wife, father to a murdered son, and I'll have rep my vengeance
in this life or the next. And I feel like he's just going after everybody.
And you know what, Pat?
Rightly so.
I mean, think about what he's gone through for the past almost nine years from Obama
and all those deep state spying on him and Russia collusion and the impeachments.
That's just three of them.
There's so many of them.
He deserves it.
I know people are like, well, he shouldn't
be and he should be above it. No, no, no, no, no, no. You tried to destroy him and it's
retribution time. It's payback. He could do it. And people are like, he should be worried
about running the country. No, no, he's running it just fine. But you know what? Now he's
going to go back and turn around and be like, you tried to destroy me. You tried to destroy
me. You use lawfare and he's going after everybody. And makes me feel good that he thought he wasn't just talking about it
he promised it and he's doing it by the way justice and let me just say this to
you guys let me just say this to you I cannot tell you how monumental November
5th was because if Kamala would have won none of this stuff would have happened
Rob can you go to YouTube I'm gonna send you this clip if Kamala would have won, none of this stuff would have happened.
Rob, can you go to YouTube?
I'm gonna send you this clip.
If Kamala would have won,
you would have heard things like this.
This is a clip of,
if you go and type in Letitia James on YouTube, okay?
And then type on the top right filter, views.
Go to Letitia James and then click filter, go to views.
Okay, and just watch the second one.
That's from a year ago, three and a half million views.
Go ahead and play this clip, Rob.
Can you put the audio, yes, play this clip.
Watch this one.
This was a year ago.
Oh shoot, Rob.
Yeah, it's fine, just.
He's called me venomous, he's called me disgraceful,
he's called me radical, He's called me a racist.
And this is only week three.
None of his behavior, which can best be described as performative,
will change what's happening in the courtroom.
The courtroom, as you know, where we have submitted evidence,
and the evidence is clear, and that is he inflated his statements of financial interests
To enrich himself and his family Biden and nothing will change that
Not the attacks are me or anyone you can pause this
when you go back and look at the highlight reel when she first came on and she says we are announcing a
lawsuit
against Trump
There's Rob if you find some of these and we remember
when we watched this and how they were like we are not gonna stop until dot
dot dot and pop pop pop and everybody is watching this stuff right? If Kamala
Harris wins, every one of these things would have been pursued and they would
have convinced the populace that he is a criminal, he is this, he is that, they would have not
stopped till the very end because they would have controlled it all. Look at the way she's speaking here.
People forget this wasn't too long ago. Go ahead Rob.
Comprehensive three-year investigation by my office,
including witnesses, interviews with more than 65 witnesses and review of millions of documents
That were submitted by mr. Trump and others
I am announcing that today
We are filing a lawsuit against donald trump. You can pause for this is all the stuff. We were watching
No, i'm telling you vinny
i'm telling you if
Kamala would have won
This is a very different america, this is a very different America,
this is a very different country,
this is a very different climate.
If Kamala would have won, Google and Facebook
are not giving the million dollars to Trump
and all that other stuff.
Of course not.
If Kamala would have won,
the climate would be very, very different.
That's why November 5th, every single person from the smallest, you know,
guy that sat there talking to their cousins and brothers and all that stuff, Adam Stopp,
to the people that are running the podcast, to others that are doing whatever they did
to get November 5th. You went out there and stood in line for a few hours to vote every
one of those people. You have to be so proud of yourself because we were about to witness a shit show
for four years.
Life was going to be very, very different.
There would have been no accountability.
And so then we would have waited until 2028, which most likely the establishment Republicans
wouldn't have been behind Trump because they would have said at this point, you can't win,
you already tried twice back to back and that argument would have convinced people to step away from him.
The fact that this took place and this is happening, this is great for America, for
us to find out what really happened, who was playing games.
Everybody just wants simple accountability.
That's really all it is.
Very happy to see what they're doing here and I thought Bill O'Reilly's breakdown was
spot on.
Let's see what happens from here.
Next story.
Gang, for many years we've been told there was only one shooter.
For many years.
John F. Kennedy assassination.
No, no, there's one shooter.
You guys are delusional.
There's only one shooter.
You're crazy.
Oh my God, you guys are just following all these stories and movies.
Stop it.
Stop watching Oliver Stone and stop watching this and stop watching that. MAGA head of JFK files task force claims there were two shooters.
And this is, I want to say her name properly, Anna Paulina Luna.
She does phenomenal work, launched a task force on the declassification of federal secrets
along House Oversight Chairman James Comer declaring,
I believe, well I'll let you watch it for yourself.
Go ahead Rob.
What's your priority list?
Is Epstein 9-11?
Our first investigation will be announced, but it's going to be covering on a thorough
investigation into the John F. Kennedy assassination.
And I can tell you, based on what I've been seeing so far, the initial hearing that was actually held here in Congress was actually faulty in
the single bullet theory I believe that there were two shooters and we should be
finding more information as we are able to gain access into the skip hopefully
before the files are actually released to the public.
Vinny. Okay and I've been besides Oliver Stone's JFK, the movie, which I've probably seen,
no joke, maybe 15 times, so accurate, so much details.
Back and to the right.
Back and to the right.
And just doing all your own research, Pat, with your own eyes, okay?
And then watching that video, and I'll send it to Rob after we all break it down, where
Secret Service is running by his car and he's about to go
down Dealey Plaza and he's called off, I got goosebumps, they're calling off Secret Service
because when you're out there in the open in a pretty dangerous place which is Dallas
which you've gotten death threats, you release everybody because there's supposed to be a
human being running just to be able to stop the shooting.
And as a marksman, as an expert in the rifle, there's no way that Oswald with the pump,
there's no way.
And we all saw as it's going, because they slowed down, this is the video right here,
look at this, while I'm telling the story, look at it, these guys are called off of protecting
the president, even the Secret Service guys, like wait, what?
And then look at this, leaving him going completely naked out there with no protection, they're
supposed to be running by the vehicle.
So then seeing the video and then seeing him getting shot once in the throat and you see
him like asking for help and then Onassis comes and gets to his aid and then his head
goes backwards and they proved in a court of law in the United States a magic bullet
theory. in a court of law in the United States a magic bullet theory and if you haven't
seen it they're saying Tom that a bullet came in hit him hit the governor spun
around and came back and as you guys all know the word magic is make-believe it's
fake the fact that they called it a magic bullet theory and I just can't I
cannot wait for and again you talk about accountability vindication for people
like us that have been saying it
forever, they have been lying to us,
they lied about the golf at Tonkin,
they lied about this, they lied about 9-11,
that's all they've done is lie to us,
and this is the main reason, Pat,
that people like Trump and people like Elon
are such a threat to them
because they're messing with their money.
This is, Tom, what was this?
He went up against the military industrial complex. What is that doing? You're messing with people's money and they shot him with their money. Tom, what was this? He went up against the military industrial complex.
What is that doing?
You're messing with people's money
and they shot him in the head.
What Trump is doing right now,
what Elon's doing right now,
and what he's suggesting with the Fed
is messing with their money
and it's a dangerous game that they're playing,
but I think it's a game that has to be played, period.
Tom.
I'm looking forward to this
and I'm glad that she's on it and I want to see
the stuff coming out so that all of the theories, not just theories, there's some real informed
research that was done, but I think that much of that research is going to be validated,
absolutely validated.
And we have seen, you know, it's not Oliver Stone, you know, theatrical, making a theatrical interpretation of what was going on with, you know, Garrison, the character.
It's also looking at common sense from men who have served on the battlefield,
that have served with the police departments, that have served with ballistics, saying,
you can't cause the president's wound, the head wound, the kill shot from above and
behind him.
And it's just, we've all known that.
That's like the, that's a simple fact.
You can't do that.
Well, then where'd it come from?
Now you have all the theories.
Oh, the CIA was over here, the guy in the grass, you know, but I am very, very happy
that it's starting to come out.
And we've also heard, you know,'ve also heard things coming from others over time,
and people that have said it.
Saying, well, it's not a who, it's a what.
You know what?
It's an agency, or it's a group.
And I'm very glad that it's coming out.
And she just stood there and said, from what I'm seeing,
there was two shooters, which we have forensically understood.
We just want to know who are the two shooters, which we have forensically understood. We just want to
know who are the two shooters. Is there documents in the Kennedy files that would indicate who was
or who called or who paid or who placed? Yeah, but my problem is, okay, they've always known.
They've always known. Why keep it from the public? That's the, I mean, we know, but what's the reason?
Who was that guy?
So that means they brought it to court, they all freaking lied, all these witnesses, witnesses
showing up dead, they've been lying to us.
They keep lying to us.
And it pisses me off when we find out who that person is, Tom, because I believe that
they might have been even more than that guy.
I think there was multiple people, I think it was a triangular position and maybe even some of them had blanks so at the end of the day no one is actually at fault
and nobody knows, nobody can say why I definitely did it. I had blanks on my gun.
I want to know who gave that... So that's the firing squad theory.
One out of seven men on the firing squad has a blank.
So you can always think maybe I didn't... So you could sleep at night.
I did my duty but maybe it wasn't me. And Pat, there's my thing.
There's another shooter, who did he work for
and who told him to go there?
And who told it to cover it up?
That's the problem.
That's what I look forward to,
is finding out the who behind the second shooter,
because I don't think there's a question.
Which of the two are you more interested in,
this or Epstein's List?
Epstein's List.
Could I be honest with you?
Yeah.
If JFK, you know why?
Because that to me, besides 9-11, is the worst moment in the history of the United States.
They murdered, murdered, a sat, whatever you want to call it, the sitting president.
Meaning if it's true, the CIA, all these guys, Lyndon B. Johnson, they all colluded to kill
him.
To hell with treason.
It just sucks because none of these people are alive. They kept it, held it for all these years.
Everybody's dead. We're not going to have any accountability. And if it was the CIA,
what's going to happen to the CIA? That's why I was a little bit more prone to wanting
to know what's on Epstein's list. Because yes, is the assassination and murder of a
sitting US president JFK important? You bet your ass
it is. However, whatever happened with Epstein, these people are walking around. What's going
on? What did they do illegal? Who was this guy? What happened? Where are these people?
This pedophile island? Yes, this is important. I'm not downplaying the how important this
is. But you know what I find interesting under the Trump administration,
this is going to be coming out. Hopefully we'll see. I would love to know what the democratic
wing of the Kennedy family these days, other than basically JFK, would they owe him a debt
of gratitude? Would they say thank you? Do they want to know what's going on? Like would
they at least admit, Hey, you know, we're not the biggest fans of Trump or a Democrat legacy family
But thank you for shedding some light of exactly what happened in this situation right here
So I'd love to see what happened with that
But this but this was the first bit like this I get the Epstein thing and trust me anything with children
I'm 100% all in you know, that's the hill that I would die on freaking fall on the sword all that
But this is one of the first ones. This is the main one I'm 100% all in. You know that's a hill that I would die on, freaking fall on the sword, all that.
But this is one of the first ones.
This is the main one.
Assassinating a sitting president.
And if these freaking agencies were involved.
So go down the path here.
Okay, so it turns out there was a second shooter and it was involved in the CIA or something.
Yeah, whatever.
Or was the mafia?
What then?
What do you do then?
Be like, I told you so. No, everyone knows that there mafia what then what do you do then be like I told you so no
Everyone knows that there's some sort of foul play going on here. We have to know the truth would change
What would I what would actually change CIA was involved Adam? Guess what happens to the CIA?
You're going bye. Bye. You can't be you you were yeah, he's not going by what do you mean?
You find out today, yeah, but
Let me spend 75 years.
I don't give a shit if they,
but the organization killed the city president.
You're saying you have little interest
to find out the truth about what happened 62 years ago.
That's not what I said.
I didn't say I have little interest.
I said that I have more interest
in what's going on on Epstein.
You asked a binary question. What do you have more interested in Epstein or JFK? Yes
I have interest in this but but it's not like any of these people are even a lot 100%
But guess what happened to Donald Trump a couple months ago Adam. They shot him. Yeah, I'd like to know that
What happened with that already for this they and this is again as a shooter. I'm not freaking showing off the cockiness
I don't think it was crooks.
This is me, personally.
The guy had six cell phones, we know nothing about him.
Like Luigi Mangione, that guy in three hours, we knew everything.
He might be gay, he might be this.
The fact that we still don't know shit about that guy, okay?
And as a shooter, to shoot somebody and try to go for their head, that is a cocky shooter.
Because as a sniper, when you're trying to shoot, bro,
you're shooting center mass.
Whatever your front sight or your dot,
you're here at him because no matter where,
you're breathing, whatever, even if you hit Trump,
here, here, here, here, he's done.
He's 78 years old, he's not gonna survive.
This person was trying to do,
because when you shoot somebody here,
that's trying to send a message to the world.
But God intervened, and that's why, Pat, you nailed it. That November 5th, this movement, saving humanity, we are living
in such an amazing time that I believe God said, now's not the time. And he stepped in.
That's divine intervention.
Thank God for that map. The chart.
I believe in the simplicity theory that even in the deepest conspiracies you have simplicity.
And I think it's very simple.
Our government has been trying to spin the minds of its populace, its citizens for decades,
centuries.
And to keep the mind going, to keep MKUltra, to keep things going, to to spin you can't admit to the Kennedy thing because you can't
have transparency and have the public saying well you know what maybe they're just lying
to us just like Kennedy so you can't have you can't legitimize that you can't put that
out there because you need to keep the secrecy in the spin to to to brainwash the citizens tomorrow.
And you can't go back and say, okay, look, we're sorry.
Vietnam War, we did this thing and we were drafting
mostly African Americans, yeah, we did it.
CIA killed Kennedy, all those people are gone,
Alan Dulles is gone, but we named an airport after him.
And, but yeah, we did it.
They can't do that because you can't have the citizens
able to say, had to have legitimate doubt.
How about your thought?
What's your thought on that?
They're probably being another shooter, them, them, if it's true, lying to us, the CIA involved, all that type of stuff, all that.
What? Because I know you're passionate about it.
Yeah, you know exactly what they let me tell you.
What you know, when when you go into relationships that you have in your life, yesterday we're sitting there
with a few of our business managers that we have
and we're spending more time with middle management.
We're having a conversation about who typically ends up
moving up, getting promotions, what happens with them, okay?
And what qualities we value.
Trust somebody that can deliver, somebody that keeps their word, somebody that's reliable.
And in your community as you age and you have family, kids, peers, you want your kids to
be surrounded by men and women who are like that.
Then people you do business with,
people you do business with, companies you do business with, you size up all the partners and
vendors and you want to trust what they're saying. You want to trust what they're saying. You want
them to tell the truth because you want to be able to continue doing business with them,
they don't have any issues with them. How many people you think want to be able to continue doing business with them, then you don't have any issues with them, right? Okay, how many people do you think want to believe CIA?
How many American people, what percentage do you think would like to believe what the CIA is saying?
Genuinely want to believe them.
The majority of them.
All of them, right?
I would say everybody.
How many people would like to believe that what the government is saying,
they're being straight up and it's the best interest of the American people?
All of us want to hope.
They want that.
They want to experience that
because then you know there's credibility,
accountability, trust, execution.
Things move faster the higher trust is.
The lower trust is things move slower.
Things get executed slower.
Right now trust is low.
And the reason why we're moving so fast
in the first few weeks is we have an operator that's driving the hell out of everybody executed slower. Right now, trust is low. And the reason why we're moving so fast in
the first few weeks is we have an operator that's driving the hell out of everybody and
all of them, Glenn Beck put it the best way, team of rivals that are willing to work together
to increase the credibility of our nation. And you've got to give credit to that. That's
what I'm excited about. I want our credit score as a country to go up where we can believe
what they're saying. We're never going to be at a point that you're going to believe 100% of them.
Never.
I'm not expecting, nobody has a 100% credit score when they're financing something.
Everybody has had a late or something like that.
But guess what?
When you're financing at a bank, you want a 750, 760, you like to see a lot of 800s,
but you're willing to entertain 760s.
Our government score right now, as
of two months ago, is probably in the 450s.
Nobody trusts, what can you finance with a 450 credit score?
Nothing.
Nothing.
You've got to increase your credit score.
That's my interest.
Okay.
All right, so next story I want to get into is, which one should we go here with this
one?
Let me go into, yeah, let's go into this one here.
So billionaire hedge fund guru warns Trump's tariffs are harming us.
This isn't just anybody saying this, by the way.
This is Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel and a Republican supporter, warned that Trump's
tariffs create an uncertainty and chaos that
hinder economic growth, making it difficult for multinationals to plan long term.
Speaking at a UBS group conference, he criticized Trump's bombastic rhetoric, stating,
"...it sears into the minds of CEOs and policymakers that we can't depend upon America as our
trading partner.
Gryffindor has donated millions to the the Republicans but not directly to Trump's campaign, believes tariffs could increase the U.S.
deficit and make domestic companies less competitive and productive. Trump's tariff policies are
causing businesses to struggle with supply chain and pricing, with Griffin pointing out that Canada's
energy sector may now turn to China instead of the US, Trump imposed 25% tariff on steel
and aluminum imports without exceptions or exemptions and 10% tariffs on all Chinese
goods while threatening Canada and Mexico.
Griffin warns that these moves could force US allies to form new trade alliances saying
the damage has already been done.
Tom, do you agree with them?
It's hard to disagree with Ken Griffin's argument the way he's putting it.
But I think also he's getting out in front.
And what he's getting out in front on is about the disruption.
The market jumps up, the market jumps down.
The market jumps up, the market jumps down.
But the market hasn't had permanent change related to tariffs nor have we had economic
Statistics that we can point to related to tariffs, but we have had a market that's been jittery a stock market
Okay, well he's saying that's uncertainty and chaos. Okay, Ken's right and he says planning for long term
What is a hedge fund manager want a long-term?
Predictable market so they can make their hedge bets.
So he's in the business of doing that.
So you could translate it this way,
hey, my business needs a little bit of stability
and long-term point of view.
That helps me run my business.
My business is pretty effing big
and I touch a lot of this economy,
so I would imagine you all want
me to have a long view and some predictability.
That's part one.
Then part two, along with the long run and predictability, what Griffin is saying is,
hey, you don't want any of this temporary stuff to cause someone to make a spontaneous
decision about a trade partner.
You don't want them to think, oh gosh, this stuff's going to be bouncing around for a while,
they're going to make different decisions.
What he's really saying there, I don't think he's being completely altruistic about the United States.
I think what he's saying there, hey, I'm making hedge bets, and I know who the bets I make,
who they're depending on for suppliers. I know who they're depending on for partners.
And if you mess that up, it's like suddenly telling me
there's 61 cards in the deck rather than 52.
Ah, crap, what are the other 11?
Is there more aces, more jacks?
There's a bunch of twos and threes.
I think that's what it is.
So I don't disagree with Ken Griffin at the core.
However, I think when you break it down,
what he's really saying is that in the short run,
you're bumping things up and you're saying a bunch of things.
I don't want people to make long run decisions based on short run chaos, but I think deep
inside Ken Griffin knows what's going on here.
He knows exactly that these are tactics, not taxes taxes for the long term. But he doesn't
want people to make short term decisions that affect him.
Adam, I think Ken Griffin sort of spot on and we're all rooting for Trump. We all want
the best for the country. All want to know what's going on. But it's almost like the
yin yang theory. What goes up must goes down. It's everything's interdependent. So if you're
going to do things
and from a negotiation standpoint to throw off foreign governments, whether it's China,
whether it's Canada, whether it's Mexico, you know, withdrawing from the Paris Climate
Accords withdrawing from who everything you're doing with tariffs, you're going to create
uncertainty for foreign governments. That's great. But you're also going to create uncertainty for domestic
corporations and consumer sentiment. So just like you're
throwing people off of the negotiation tactic, from a
foreign standpoint, you're also going to throw people off from a
domestic standpoint. So like Tom said, the markets like
certainty and they like predictability. There's
something called the VIX, right, the volatility index, which
basically shows like how crazy is the world going right now?
Is the world certain? Is the world uncertain? We know about the fear greed index.
But while you're negotiating with these foreign governments and over tariffs,
there's a lot of domestic corporations and companies that are like, all right, like, well, we don't know what to do because they need a price in
future risks and price in future tariffs and they're not
necessarily sure what to do.
From a consumer standpoint, people like stability, people like clarity, and there might not be
a lot of that right now.
So basically, if you're disrupting foreign governments, you're also disrupting some of
the domestic.
So let me take it.
Yeah, let me tell you on a part where I don't know if I agree with Ken Griffin,
and here's the part, okay, for me.
Common sense, when you think about the keyword
reciprocal tariffs, what is a reciprocal tariff?
Rob, if you can pull up this New York Post story
that came out.
So, if somebody, Vinny, you don't have to be
a business expert, you don't need an MBA, you don't even need to be
a business person, sales person, you can be any average
person, if somebody has a 10% tariff on you,
but you have zero tariff on them, is that fair?
No.
What should the right number be?
10 and 10.
10 and 10, okay cool.
If you're gonna charge me 10%, I'm gonna charge you 10%.
Is there anything wrong about that? Absolutely not. 10 and 10. 10 and 10? Okay, cool. If you're going to charge me 10%, I'm going to charge you 10%.
Is there anything wrong about that?
Absolutely not.
Now, what if I've been doing 10% on your country for the last 30 years and you've done zero
on me, to make up the last 30 years of me only putting 10 on you and zero on me, is
it fair for you to do 20 on me for a few years to catch up?
I think so, 100%.
That's something you can debate.
I feel, nope, yeah.
But what I'm saying is that's something, you don't need a degree to process that.
I don't, yeah.
I have an associate, but still.
So if you read the Trump-to-impose, reciprocal tariffs is a bold move, why is it a bold move?
Here are the possible risks and rewards, go a little bit lower.
I don't even understand why they're saying it's a bold move.
They're tariffing you!
You shouldn't do it to them, reciprocal?
What do you mean a bold move?
I don't even like the word bold in that title.
It's a very straight up move.
The idea is straightforward.
I agree.
If another country imposes a tariff on American products, the US will respond by applying
the same tariff to that country's goods.
Common sense.
The strategy is intended to create a fairer trade environment but could also escalate tensions
and potentially trigger a new tariff war.
Why would it?
Why would it do that?
The European Union currently placed a 10% terror from cars imported to the US, whereas
the US only charges 2.5%.
Why?
Why?
I don't know.
Give me the 7.5%.
So you get to send your BMWs, Mercedes, everything, we got to pay that 10 points, but we send
our Ford, we send our GMC, we send all that stuff.
We only do 2.5%.
The goal of Trump's reciprocal terrorists is to eliminate these imbalances. I agree. So I'll be announcing by the way
What if Europe eliminates the 10% brings it to zero different kind of a conversation?
I'll be announcing that next week on reciprocal trade so that we're treated evenly with other countries
We don't want any more or any less Trump told reporters in Oval Office fair
I agree
The president added that he planned to hold a press conference on the matter as well as a meeting on this show either Monday We don't want any more or any less Trump told reporters in Oval Office. Fair, I agree.
The President added that he planned to hold a press conference on the matter as well as
a meeting on the show either Monday or Tuesday.
Trump indicated on Friday that reciprocal tariffs might replace the proposed 10 or 20%
universal import duties.
That was a key part of his economic, by the way, which by the way, people should be happy
about that.
Because 10 or 20 means what?
It's blanket.
Reciprocal is not blanket.
You know what reciprocal is?
So if I say 20% on everybody,
but you don't tariff me, come on.
You know what I'm saying?
But if I say, what do you impose on me?
15%, 15% back.
We're at seven, we're going to 15.
No, no, no, no, no.
Then lower your 15 to seven,
because that's what I'm making.
So then maybe BMW cars will be cheaper for us.
Go ahead, do it, lower it for us, right? right and $80,000 cars now $72,000 we'll take that
seven thousand eight thousand dollar savings so he stated that he was
leaning towards implementing mostly mostly reciprocal tariffs rather than
broad import duties Trump announced on Sunday that he is set to implement a
universal to 25% tariff on all imports of steel and aluminum
That's all great. Tom go for it. You know what? I think I think there's also something here people forget about
Do for those of you that went through it?
Do you remember the day that you had to stop spending on your credit card?
You were up at your limit and you had to stop. It's painful because now you were living a lifestyle
You were spending on things you were doing things you had to stop it's painful because now you were living a lifestyle
You were spending on things you were doing things you had to stop the day
You said you're gonna stop drinking your body is reacting. That's hard. That's physical
What Pat was talking about is things have been going on for years even decades
And now they have to stop if anybody thought this was gonna be a painless procedure here
You're not you've had a pain in your side for a while, pain in your side for a while.
You finally go to the doctor.
The doctor says, you know what?
I'm detecting a tumor here in your abdomen.
We got to give you chemotherapy.
We got to take the tumor out.
You're going to go bald.
It's going to be painful.
That's the price you got to pay for the correction.
And right now, what people need to understand, and you don't need a college degree,
we have been manipulated in so many ways
by other countries with their products.
And we're saying, it's stopping now.
But the process to change it is not easy.
You've got to negotiate with these people.
And if they won't negotiate, you say, here comes my tar tariff this is what I'm gonna do get ready I'm gonna be
reciprocal with you the other side screams loudest when you hit the target
mm-hmm and that's exactly what Trump is doing right now he's hitting the target
and this is painful it is not easy to undo this stuff so you have to remember
America you had cancer you had you had import-export cancer, you didn't know it.
And now to get through it and to remove the tumor
of unfairness from the other side, this is a negotiation.
Yeah.
Rob, can you check to see which countries
tariff US the most?
Let me give you an idea of what happened yesterday.
I'm talking to a business owner
who's in a construction space in Western Australia,
one of the clients we consult for
at Bedavid Consulting.
You can go to bedavid.com to learn more.
So I'm talking to this guy and he says, I'm trying to compete for the other business,
but I can't because my clients, my competitors that I'm competing with are non-union and
I do union work and so union work causes my cost and labor to be 20% higher.
So I said, okay, so how are you competing with your competitors?
What percentage of them are non-union?
90%.
I said, so does the quality of union when you do the work, is it better than non-union?
Not necessarily.
So why are you union?
And so he says, so let's just say somebody places a job that's $400,000 and you're non-union,
I have to charge what?
$480,000, because I'm what?
Hiring union.
And union has stipulations if somebody works after eight hours on the ninth hour, 25% increase
on the tenth hour, another 25% on the 11th hour, another 25%. So a person making 30 bucks an hour in
the 8th hour, for example, is, you know, 37.50, okay? On the 10th hour, it's 45 bucks. Understand
what happens. Eventually on the 12th hour, you're making 60 bucks an hour. So guys like,
you know, construction, sometimes we work late. What do I do with this? I said, well,
as a client, I'm almost always going to go non-union.
Why would I pay that additional 20 points?
So how do you compete?
So what's the point?
So what's going to happen on some of these items that tariffs are put on and prices on
those items go up, it may cause Americans to buy more Ford.
It may cause Americans to buy more GM. It may cause Americans to buy more GM. It may cause
Americans to buy more Chrysler. It may even cause some of these guys who are
Mercedes and BMW to produce their cars here and those cars may be cheaper than
the ones that they're shipping to us from Europe. It may cause that. But to get
to that, it's two years of a lot of pain. And here's my concern. Here's my concern why they have to move so quickly.
Because if they drive tariffs as hard as they do, and within a year and a half, it doesn't
produce the results that they want and the offset of lowering taxes doesn't make Americans
happy enough, it will be a bloodbath and two years at midterms.
Let me say that one more time. If we have to do this, I'm convinced we have to go this route,
but I think we need four years for this to work.
I don't know if it's gonna happen in 18 months.
If they go this route, and you go like this
on the knob with tariffs, right?
You have to go like this on taxes and regulation
to offset each other.
I don't know if you understand what I'm saying.
So if I go tariff like this, taxes like this,
do it, you're choking, right?
But if I go like this too much, it's also too loosey-goosey.
You spoil everybody's 0% interest rate,
so it's a lot of fake success.
You don't want that.
I think it's gotta go like this.
You go tariffs higher, you lower taxes regulation,
so this place is a little bit loose,
money's being reinvested,
IPO market goes a little bit higher, guys are starting to put $5 billion, a billion
dollars, half a million dollars into new business being started, and then all of a sudden these
guys are going to be like, oh shit, we just threatened the US and they're realizing they
don't need us anymore.
Hey, we were kidding, we were kidding, we were kidding, but they have to do it fast
before midterms.
If after midterms they take control, now you got a gridlock, now
nothing's going to get done in the last two years, it's really only a two-year term. That's
my concern. So I don't know. We'll see what's going to happen. Speed will be critical. That's
why this is called the year of surprises. And the three words in 2025 are speed, product,
signal. Speed, product, signal. That's the key.
I think you just taught me something and I think just taught the audience something.
So like, Trump is basically DJing the economy right now. So you got the treble and you get
the bass right here. So he's basically saying, Hey, America, get ready. Things are going
to cost a little bit more. You know, Tom said, basically, you're going to have to go through
a little bit of pain. What's the pain paying higher prices? So how can we offset that with
the DJ DJ PBD out in the house?
We're going to lower the base a little bit aka your taxes. And we're going to increase
the treble out here right now. So this might be music to your ears. Trump is a brilliant
marketer. He has to basically make the under people understand one thing, be very clear.
I'm going to be raising tariffs. It's going to raise prices, but I'm going to be lowering
your taxes to offset this. It's a messaging campaign. If he can convey the message to
the American people, Hey, need you to go out there and buy American, need you to have an
American pride, get out there and buy American. Remember, remember like X amount of years
ago when we, we wouldn't eat French fries. It was like, no, we're going freedom fries
now. No more French fries, freedom fries.
Everyone was like, okay, I guess we're not eating French fries anymore.
But the messaging was understood.
All right, we got to, we need some freedom.
That's what Trump needs to convey because I think most people don't understand what the
hell's going on with these tariffs.
And I think that's what Ken Gifford is sort of alluding to.
So if we understand like DJ PBD over here, turn up the treble,
a little bit of bass, like Warren G, I think we're gonna be alright.
Just hit the east side on the...
LBC, that's right.
On the mission trying to find Mr. Warren G.
Mr. DJ T.
Yes, seeing the car full of girls, ain't no need to...
That's true, ain't no need to trick.
Alright, so that's what it is.
Let's see what's up with 1-2-1-3. Let's go, guys.
So hooks are left on 2-1-1 Lewis, some brother shooting dice. So I said, let's do this. I said, what's up with one two one three. Yeah, go guys. So I hooks a left on two one and louis some brother shooting dice
So I said let's do this. I said, what's up?
Anyways, so let's do this thing all day long stay focused stay focused. All right
border czar tom homin accuses FBI of leaking information about ice raids lives at risk
But Tom is also not's a little bit not satisfied
with the numbers of ICE arrests.
What I do want to bring up with this that's kind of a little bit, Rob, which clip is that?
Is that the one that he's not happy about the numbers so far?
Yeah, so I have three Tom Homan clips.
The first one is him saying that the FBI leaked information about the raids.
The second one is him saying he's not satisfied with the ICE arrests.
And then the third one is his message to the Pope.
Because the Pope said what?
He's just not comfortable about it and all this other
stuff right okay go in the order that you have go for it
Tom Holman Tom where are these leaks coming from well look who we're thinking
it's coming from inside and we know the first leak of arores under current
investigation we think we identified that person under investigation right now.
The California leak, Secretary Noem, she's correct on some of the information we're receiving
tends to lead toward the FBI.
But I talked to Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
They've opened up a criminal investigation and they have promised that not only this person lose their job and lose their pension,
they won't go to jail. They won't criminally prosecute. So we're all over it.
Okay, so that's that. He's saying it's an inside job. Somebody's leaking
information, they got to find it. Okay, this one here is responding to the
numbers. Go for it.
Mr. Jaramillo, why is the President happy with the number of arrests? to the numbers. Go for it. We need to increase the rest of the... Can you stop right there Rob?
And then go to the last one here with the Pope, you know, taking some shots at him and
he responds, Pope Francis rebukes Trump's mass deportation efforts.
You know, Pope is out there.
Let me read this to you.
What is built on the basis of force and not on the truth about equal dignity of every human being
Be begins badly and will end badly in a letter to American Catholic bishops
He stated the rightly formed conscious cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreements with any measure that
tactically
tacitly and explicitly
Identifies the legal status of some migrants.
Okay, so with criminality.
Yeah, with criminality.
Some migrants with criminality.
Basically saying criminal migrants.
Go for it, Rob.
Here's how he responds to it.
They're all the Lord's children.
I got harsh words for the Pope.
The Pope ought to fix the Catholic Church.
I'm saying this as a lifelong Catholic.
I was baptized as a Catholic.
I was the first communionist in the Catholic, confirmation of the Catholic.
He ought to fix the Catholic Church and concentrate on his work and lead border enforcement to
us.
I'm saying this as a lifelong Catholic.
I was baptized as a Catholic.
I was the first communionist in the Catholic, confirmation of the Catholic.
He ought to fix the Catholic Church and concentrate on his
work and lead border enforcement to us. He wants to attack us for securing our border.
He's got a wall around the Vatican, does he not? So he's got to wall around, protect
his people and himself, but we can't have a wall around the United States. So I wish
he'd stick to the Catholic Church and fix that and leave border enforcement to us. Mike Drop. Common sense.
Like what are we even talking about?
You got him.
Tom, your thoughts.
I think Tom Homan is a beast and I think he's exactly who we need.
I'm a little bit nervous on one thing, hiring contractors to go out there. It is one thing to hire some contractors and say,
hey, go look at Glassdoor, go look at Yelp for me,
go look at Google, is there a positive or negative
reference about my company?
And what is being said in that?
Maybe do we need to do things in HR
and to take a look at ourselves?
Is there an opportunity to learn here?
And then we can do that.
American companies do all that a day,
and there's services that you can subscribe to,
so you can see what's said about your company,
and maybe you find out that you have some blind spots,
you got some things you gotta fix.
But when you go over and say,
as well as looking for contractors
that could perform a personal identification of who is saying it.
No, we're not just sentiment. Not just like it's 78 degrees out there, you know
what I mean, Vinnie? 78 degrees, but who caused it to be 78 degrees? That's
different. That's different. And then including asking which contractors could use PC cameras and find facial recognition for people that did a narrative
or they actually posted something on TikTok, it was their own face saying, I don't like
these people, they're full of crap, blah, blah, blah.
Well now your face is there.
Anyone know who that is?
I think that crosses the line.
I think it's a good idea to find out what the public sentiment is because the news media lies
Front right and center in my opinion front right and center the news media lies what Tom I will get up
Tom they can't I'm not gonna wait for the news media to tell me and it's not a bad thing for me to find out
If the public sentiment is one way or the other yeah, do so in a real way what concerns me with ice
This is the only thing.
I'd like to debate this
and maybe there's some leaks in my
thoughts that I have here and I'm
fully open to it. ICE wants
to know if you're posting negative things
about them online. ICE
is seeking contractors to monitor online
discussions including negative references
to the agency. The contract requires
real-time threat mitigation and monitoring services to track criticism
and potential threats.
Contractors must analyze behavior on social media sentiment and compile weekly reports
on the total number of negative references to the I's found on social media.
The program also includes identifying individuals being flagged posts, gathering data, such
as previous social media activity, affiliation
with a group which has violent tendencies and using facial recognition capabilities
to link online identities.
Critics warn the program threatens free speech and expands ISIS history of mass surveillance.
Cynthia Rodriguez, American Right Group, Mijent states, ISIS attempts to have eyes and ears
in as many places as we exist.
Both online and offline should ring an alarm for all of us.
Vinny?
I mean, anything that has to do with facial recognition and stuff like that, I mean, I
could see how, if this is like Tom Holman's directive and worrying about, you know, the
threats because, I mean, there's a bunch of people threatening them.
There have been death threats.
I know the cartels were trying to send up drones and stuff to actually attack ICE and border agents and they were putting hits out
on them. I think this, but I'm not a fan of that mass surveillance. I'm not a fan of it.
If they have wind of people posting and stuff like that that are threatening life, then
deal with it like that. But I'm not a big fan of any mass surveillance. You know what my concern is with this area is the following.
My concern is if your side, let's just say the company has a CEO that you don't like.
He's a POS.
The company you work for has a CEO that you just can't stand, and they are overly monitoring everything
in ways that's crossing the line.
When I'm saying stuff like crossing the line, like stuff.
Let's say you're doing your emails to work email, they can read your emails.
Well, no, they can do that anyways.
I'm not talking about that.
Most CEOs don't have time to go.
I've never read an email of my, what do you call it of a two employees exchanging email with each other
that's not what I'm talking about, but like just annoyingly obnoxious and
Annoying to work with and the guy's not in his golf in three days a week
But he's expecting you to work and there's all this other stuff that's happening
Then a new CEO gets hired and you like them a lot, okay?
And it's great.
But he also wants to take everything to the highest level of investigation and all this
other stuff like hardcore, hardcore, hardcore with everybody.
You know what then it happens?
It's a guy you like, but guess what?
If he creates those standards, anybody else after him, the same thing is going to happen.
Meaning, you may like the people that are in the White House today.
You may like Tom Homan.
I'm a big fan of his.
If you go and type in on YouTube Tom Homan PBD, you'll see what I said about him before
he got elected.
And Rob, if you can pull up this clip on Tom Homan, just type in Tom Homan and then go
to YouTube, search for views
and go to most viewed, okay?
You'll see right there, the top clip is right here.
Okay, this is, go play the clip.
Can't hear it, Rob, can you go back a little bit?
Yeah.
If Trump wins, this guy is gonna be back running the border.
This was a year ago.
And I wanna remind you guys who this guy is
when he sat down with AOC and AOC tried to
grill him. Yeah. And watch what happened to AOC when she tried to grill a man who knows the law.
Go ahead and watch. It's just entertaining. Go ahead. You don't need to play the whole thing, but that's that's a year ago, right? So
he's the right guy for the job. So happy the fact that he's in there.
But if you allow and be okay with this additional
surveillance on you, then the next administration that comes in that you don't like, they're
going to say, well, what's wrong with it? They did it anyways. Your favorite guy, Tom
Holman came up. You're giving permission for them. This guy may be doing it for the right
reasons because he's trying to find all the other, but the next guy may be like, no, we're
watching you Vinny. So today you went to the bathroom zero times is
your stomach okay no are you eating your what do you call it the powder
whatever the powder you eat collagen collagen hey what happened with that we
know you're drinking collagen in the morning that's right that's what I'm
listening I work with us so we watch and we follow stuff close isn't this what
happened with the Patriot Act yeah, we're just gonna do a little
Obama didn't know this was
They started November of 01 if I'm not mistaken what month did it get started? Can you talk about the exact month?
What month did it get started, Patriot Act?
October 26th of 2001.
There you go, October 26th of 01.
Literally a month after 9-11.
TSA, all that stuff changed.
So I'm just saying, like some of this stuff you've got to kind of watch when it happens.
I will say this to you.
For some of you guys that want some news that it's tough tough, rapper Cardi B claims her uncle got deported.
No.
Yeah.
And is anti-Trump rant. Uncle got deported. She's not too happy about it. Is this it, Rob?
It is. It's really long. I can just forward to the end. It's a minute and 40 and she just eats chips the entire time.
But towards the end, she complains about how Donald Trump deported her uncle.
I think we'll be okay without watching.
And you know what she's mad at?
She's furious about, because like an idiot, I had to watch the whole thing because I was
waiting for the part that Rob's talking about, she's complaining about her $3,000 shoes,
the red bottom with the spikes on them.
Let me see what she's talking about, Vinny.
Vinny, let me see what she's talking about.
She's saying that the security at the Super Bowl, she's like, the freaking Secret Service, they were like checking us and like, I got dumbers. Vinny, let me just see what she's talking about she's saying that the the security at the Super Bowl seems like the freaking secret service
They were like like checking us and like I got me just talking about
Any other beginning go ahead she's sold no just place it
Look at my shoes
What are we doing yeah
What are we doing? She calls me three bands.
Yeah.
Three what?
$3,000.
$3,000 BBD.
Come on, three bands.
Now I hate him lesser.
Now I hate him lesser.
Now I hate him lesser.
Is she ignorant?
Now I hate him lesser.
You're not saying the right-
I like him lesser.
She's educated.
Fuck you, I like you.
Look at her.
Oh, God.
What you gotta understand?
This is everybody's fault that Look at her. What you got to understand?
This is all everybody's fault.
That listens to our music.
You guys made this person.
We're going to be OK, guys.
Oh, God.
Not really.
I feel like everything, everything is just completely emotional
and no one has the best, whether it's her and her stupid uncle
that got that kid away or Selena Gomez
or like the best is when a guy's like or she's just saying something you want to
hear it yeah I don, I'm just asking.
Yeah, good.
That's all she says. I want my uncle to come back because my uncle got deported.
By the way,
can you imagine if somebody really investigates
who her uncle is
and her uncle is tied to some traffic
and some stuff like that, it's like,
yeah, that's good.
Thank you ICE, if that's the case.
If it's not, if it was tied to something else and he's
Doing everything right legally and all that other stuff then that's a bad
you know the best videos though when the guys like listen guys, I don't know how to tell you this but
Look my mother-in-law who lives on?
She's an illegal immigrant. She doesn't have a dog in the back door.
She's usually unlocked mid-morning.
Ah, I got it.
Please stop crying, Adam.
All right, let's go to the next one here.
Anyway, my mother-in-law, she's a...
Yeah, you need a mother-in-law.
Okay, so next one here.
Entry-level homes in Miami are going extinct.
It's a Wall Street Journal story
and I have some thoughts on this.
But I'm gonna go to Mr. Ellsworth Firth
because he's a biz doc.
So entry level homes in Miami are going extinct
as single family prices skyrocket.
The number of sales under $500,000 dropping.
Ready?
79.6% from 2019 to 2024.
Vinny, let me say this to you one more time.
Folks, please listen to this.
The number of houses under the price of $500,000 dropped 80%.
There's 80% fewer homes under $500,000 in five years.
We're not talking 20 years five years, okay
Anna Bozovic
All right founder of analytics Miami explained the marquee below 500,000 is going extinct
It's kind of shocking in December 2019. There were
3518 single family homes listed under 500,000
But by December of 2024 it went from $3,518
to $641.
Rising home values, high land prices and construction costs have pushed most of these homes into
higher price tiers, with the median sale price hitting $675 into December up 78% from 2019.
Rob, is that active listings right now? 75 into December up 78% from 2019.
Rob is that active listings right now?
Can you go up a little bit to see, because I can't see the cameras.
I know the other way, the other way Rob.
Yeah.
So that's active listings from 2015 to today in Miami.
Wow.
Is that really what that is?
And can you go into home sold, go a little bit lower on the next one?
Home sold annually, this is specific to Miami.
What was it in 2015,
Rob?
12,820 and today it is 2,229.
So I'm not moving to Miami anytime soon.
Luxury real estate has surged with a number of single-family home sales above $10 million,
increasing 248%. So $10 million homes in Miami have gone up 250% from 2019 to 2020 and Miami's top 1% home threshold jumping from $3.5 million to
$10 million, 3X.
Bozovic noted, these price points didn't exist pre-COVID.
The sheer appetite is completely a different reality.
Notable sales including Hedge Fund, Ken Griffin, record breaking $100 million purchase, Bezos
spending $234 million assembling a compound on Indian Creek and soccer star David Beckham and his wife
Victoria Beckham buying a $72 million home mansion
that set off a market frenzy.
Thomas.
So here's what happened.
Three things happened.
And then there's a solution and there's a way out.
The first thing is the number of listings
are down historically.
Why is that?
Because a lot of people have those two to 4% mortgages and they don't want to sell their
houses.
So the actual supply of houses is down.
Then we printed money, Biden printed money, which artificially increased the price of
assets because there was more money and price of assets went up artificially, but it stayed
there because of this money supply.
And then you have demand.
People moving to Florida.
Listen to those names.
They're not in New York.
Ken Griffin, the Beckhams, all those folks, Bezos.
Bezos moved from California down here.
So you have incredible demand. So you have
Inventory is down
Demand is up people moving here for the inventory that is available
So and the money you printed money, so the price went up. So what do we need? We need
More building in the outlying areas. So they have more family areas
in the outlying areas so they have more family areas. Except on the east side of Miami,
there's this thing that prevents building
called the Atlantic Ocean.
And on the west side of Miami,
there's a thing that prevents building called the Everglades.
So Miami is kinda out of space.
So it's kinda part of urban planning
as industrial areas and things get repurposed
to encourage developers
to give them incentives to build, you know, maybe more condos and low-income housing so that the
workers have a place to live. That's a good thing. And if you build enough of them, then you're going
to have some price moderation. And if the interest rates on mortgages come down, you're going to
people want to sell existing houses. But Miami's price has gone up,
and the overall net price of the area
is probably not gonna go down anytime soon.
So what's the solution, Tom?
Well, the solution is slow.
It's like Miami is going to be an expensive place.
I'm gonna give you a solution.
You ready?
Here's a solution.
May I?
Okay.
Here's what I think the solution is.
I think exactly what Miami is going through is what happened to California and multiple
cities where people with money showed up.
And then guess what?
You don't have a choice.
That's what the market's going to pay for that community.
And you're going to have to pay it.
You don't want it?
Don't worry about it.
Move out.
So, if I'm long in any city in the state of Florida, you know what I'm long on?
Fort Lauderdale.
Okay?
Fort Lauderdale.
I am long on Fort Lauderdale.
Why?
Because you got Palm Beach, which is a different climate, okay?
You got Boca, very different climate.
Boca's a great area.
Boca could be the Glendale of California.
Meaning if Armenians wanna move to a city
that reminds them of Glendale, go to Boca Raton.
There's an Armenian Catholic Church,
it's a great place to go to.
Boca would be a great place for Persians, Iranians,
Armenians, Assyrians to move to.
It's not like as if I'm lobbying, but Oryk.
Bolorit Oryk.
Talacha.
Tell them to go to Boca.
Kush Boca.
I couldn't agree more.
Yeah.
Biya Inja.
Biya Inja.
Boca, Boca Raton.
It's a great city, right?
But I think Fort Lauderdale is going to have the next explosive growth, the next 10 to
20 years.
Why do I think that?
Because I don't think it's going to slow down of people moving to Florida.
I don't think that's slowing down.
I think where they slow down to is going to be Miami because it's way too expensive.
And I also think a lot of people are going to sell their homes in Miami and move up to
Fort Lauderdale with that additional equity that they've made, with the market that's
willing to go there.
If they want to pay you for a big check for the place, do it.
If not, there's going to be some changes taking place. All
right, so go for it.
No, I just think you're spot on. I mean, a lot of my friends who are married with kids
no longer live in Miami, they live in places like Cooper City or Pembroke Pines or anyway,
just Broward west of Fort Lauderdale. And there's a lot of people that are basically
moving up to Palm Beach area, whether it's Port St. Lucie, Vero, Stewart, where they're just priced out of Miami.
This is supply and demand.
Miami, thanks to Mayor Francis Suarez, thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis, Miami is the best
city in America right now, straight up.
Whether it's taxes, whether it's climate, whether it's business, all that and then some.
If you can avoid some of the shadier dealings that go down in Miami, there's no better
place to live than South Florida these days. By the way, one of my good friends realtor in Miami
Geo, he said he started home now cost a million dollars in Miami. And oftentimes, that's for an
older home that's pre 1950s, especially if you're closer to Biscayne Bay. But also the the downside
is, all right, so let's say you're like
I don't want a single-family home. I want to go get a condo
Condos are expensive and we see what's going on with homeowners insurance. We see what's going on with taxes
We see what's going on with HOA's
It's people are getting priced out. But if you want to live in a
Some fun place you got to pay the price. Yeah, I agree. It's a beautiful place, we were in Miami this past week
doing a podcast with Jake Paul at his,
what do you call it, better headquarters?
Dude, what a freaking cool place.
He had a dog that if Brooklyn was there,
he would've thought that's a horse.
That dog was so big, yesterday Brooklyn is running
and screaming in ways I've never heard her do. Why? Jimbo was chasing her. Jimbo's
playing. She thought he was chasing her but she was so scared. And Jimbo's 15 pounds.
This 150 pounds. But anyways we're trying to leave Miami to come back. I
don't know how long it took us to get on the freeway. What do you mean? One light.
One longer light took us 20 minutes. I don't believe you long it took us to get on the freeway. What do you mean? One light, one longer light took us 20 minutes.
I don't believe you.
I'm telling you right now.
I've never been late one time coming from Miami.
There is zero interest.
There's no traffic.
There's definitely no cars on fire on the highway.
Keep Miami.
Listen, it is smooth sailing.
Every natural reaction was a flip flop.
Just go like this.
My hand was about to go like this.
I'm gonna get a pow-pow?
Yeah, a flip-flop.
Keep Miami.
Anyways, so we're about to wrap this up
with a couple other stories and then we're done.
Folks, Trump demands NCAA strip trans athletes
of women titles, okay, and then he follows up,
which this next one, which I love this next story,
and I agree with him, and I think it's gonna happen actually. So Trump, Department of Education,
Department of Education demands that the NCAA strip transgender athletes of any women titles
or records day one after transitioning, calling it a matter of urgent importance in a letter to NCAA president Charlie Baker and NFHS National Federation of State High School Associations
chief Bob Lombardi.
The letter argued that past policies denying the material reality of sex inflicted harm
and that reversing them would restore a genuine commitment to girls and women's quality of
opportunity in athletic competition.
Across the U.S., Trump who issued an executive order on his first day title, Keeping Men
Out of Women's Sports, declared the war on women's sports is over while his administration
empowered federal agencies to penalize non-compliant entities.
The Department of Education announced investigations to San Jose State University, University of
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Interscholastic Athletic Association for the alleged title, is that Title IX?
Title IX violations.
By the way, he also said to adopt, Rob, is this the one about the Olympics?
Yes.
Play this clip, Rob.
Go for it.
But Marco is going to make clear to the International Olympic Committees there, and he's going
to make it as clear as anybody can make it,
that America categorically rejects transgender lunacy.
We want them to change everything,
having to do with the Olympics
and having to do with this absolutely ridiculous subject
that we even have to talk about this subject.
If you went back 10 years or 15 years
and you would move forward and listen to this,
you'd say, what the hell are they talking about?
This is impossible.
But you have people out there, Democrats, that are still totally in favor.
They can't win the argument.
They can't win a debate.
They look like fools and they continue to go on.
And it's OK because as long as they do this and open borders and all of the other
things they talk about, transgender everything everything all they want to do is transgender and
men playing in women's sports and all of these crazy things and if they continue the
I think we're gonna end up ultimately it's not gonna matter because we're never gonna go along with them and we're just gonna keep winning a
lecture
Vinny listen, I mean you want to talk about common sense.
I'm still in disbelief that for this past four years and a little bit before, that we
were even not only entertaining the idea, we let grown men, meaning they still have
all their junk, all the twigs and berries, and we're letting them compete with women
and just the entire left was like how dare you?
These are strong women, they're you know, you're trans hating or you're homophobic.
All the nonsense, it's embarrassing as a nation that the president of the United States
has to go up there and say listen, you know the dudes that were playing with the chicks?
That's not cool. We're gonna give it to the women. has to go up there and say, listen, you know the dudes that were playing with the chicks?
That's not cool, we're gonna give it to the women.
And I'm just shocked at this.
Pat, I can't even articulate the words
that we let it go on for so long.
Now that we, like that's an issue.
With all the other stuff that's happening,
with the border and ICE and economy and inflation,
all that, he has to go up there, waste his time,
and be like, oh by the way, those dudes are going to lose their medals and we're going to give it back
to the actual women. It's unbelievable. And I'll wait for Tom to talk because I'm going to talk
about the Sanctuary City situation in Worcester too. Well I think this is great and this is common
sense. And I think what you saw in that clip there over Trump's shoulder beaming absolutely smiling and beaming as Riley
Gaines and if they strip Leah Thomas a swimmer who allegedly hooked up with a
female swimmer from another school how dare he within a week of this is the
thing is allegedly within a week he was in a date in a dating relationship and
hooked up with a female swimmer
with fully functioning male junk.
But stood there on the podium with that.
I look forward to the day if they strip the titles that Riley Gaines stands there, she
finished second place after years of training, years of going through it, and to receive
the award that she rightly won.
I'd like to see that.
She has taken so much heat. She was beaten to death by the media for protesting it. She
was called insensitive. She was called transphobic. And all she said was, I just want to call
myself the champion. That's all I want to call myself. Will someone please call me champion?
And I'm looking forward to that. What's also
interesting. Where's the Olympics coming to the summer Olympics, California to Los Angeles.
So, and Sebastian co Seb Co is actually Sebastian Co. When I grew up, he was one of the guys that,
not idols, but he's one of the runners I really admired. You know, John Walker, New Zealand,
Sebastian goes Steve Ovet, you know, Doug Padilla, these were runners, distance runners at that time. And Sebastian Koh has been this
voice of reason saying, hey, look, why don't we find ways so trans people can feel included,
but just not in the female category. He's been saying that this whole time. So there's
common. So all the people that were beat down, that were hiding behind and not allowed
to say what they really felt are now coming up and saying, Hey, this is what I felt, but
I just wasn't allowed to say that way. I hope the Olympics moves because if they want to
come to LA and they still want to come to LA on American soil with these rules, I think
Trump's going to have something to say about it.
Good. Adam.
Well, you know, when we, this was the podcast
I think we did in DC when we were basically saying,
you know, what were some of the things
that on Trump's agenda that I think were,
that won him the election.
And I was like, look, I think this trance thing
as small of a mini-school issue as it is,
literally took over the United States.
I mean, the whole Dylan Mulvaney thing,
everything was going with Leah Thomas and Riley Gaines. It's just sort of, it's shocking.
And when Trump gets on stage and he's like the transgender agenda, you know, I don't
care if your name is Brandon, you want to go by Brenda? I don't think so, honey. I think
it resonates with people and they, you don't think so?
I think yes.
I think that's, I fully agree.
That point was made by Mr. Ellsworth.
I wanna see if you had a different angle
of thoughts to say about this.
Because I think, okay, so that's where you're at.
I think if you look at this picture right here,
Leah Thomas, I think it's-
It's ma'am!
I mean, it's, look.
The fact that we let it happen bro the fact that yeah everybody
Not us, but that one side was like let them live their truth, and it all started
You know where this all started Bruce Jenner this the moment
Hey, hey, hey, it's Caitlin no no he was Bruce
I know I'm dead naming when he walked out of the ESPN
Awards in his white dress and people were going crazy and he went to the mic and was like, I just wanna, you're so lazy, at least attempt to change your voice.
And the one thing that bothered me is they kept going, he's a hero.
Why?
Because he got fake boobs?
No, no, no.
That word hero was thrown around so much.
I could see like military soldiers that we know that fought in war, those are
heroes. The only way he'd be a hero is if those boobs ISIS had them and he had to go
kill two ISIS guys and bring the boobs back, then he's a hero. There's no hero in this
talk.
I'm trying to figure that. I normally agree with you, but I'm trying to figure out the
import, export, killing and boob thing.
Well, like you're a hero in war.
I'm going to go to this next story. Massachusetts city, okay. San city Okay's sanctuary city status for transgender community Rob if you want to play the clip
Then I'm gonna go to the Vinny and we're gonna wrap up go for it
Massachusetts okay's if you want me to read it here Tom Rob before you find I have it
It's so just so you know, this is a rather long clip
But there's a whole it's a montage of different drag queens
Show to us
of different drag queens and transgender. Show it to us, it's beautiful.
I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't.
And if you think you're afraid of Trump, you should see how afraid of Trump I am.
Can you wrap up, please?
Yes.
If you say that you're afraid of Trump and that's why you don't want the city to be a safe space for trans people,
you better prepare for trans people
to make this a very unsafe space.
Threat.
Threat.
I'm shaking right now.
I don't want to be here.
He's pissed.
I'm sorry.
Am I taking too long pleading for my life?
You remembered how many children I have and how many,
and that two of them are trans.
This trans person has both theam and the T in the LGBT
I'm multiply disabled. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder that causes me immense physical pain. I
I'm on the autism spectrum
And I have narcolepsy and I couldn't drive myself here. So I had to hide from my driver that I was in drag
Which is not an easy thing to do in bread. I do not want to be here. It's my day off. I do not
Tracks like Kendrick
I want my creativity writing diss tracks like Kendrick. I don't want to spend an hour applying glitter on my face
so that you will hear and see me.
I want you to listen to me.
Rob, stop.
Let us remember.
Who's this lady?
Oh, let me see this one.
This one sounds exciting.
This is this lady right here.
Nazis burned the books that,
the Nazis burned books on gender sciences first
Now the administration has villainized and marginalized migrant workers trans
LGBT LG
People and even special needs
People are making a great point.
Stop killing my family!
Of course we need to continue celebrating Black History Month.
Stop.
Do you, okay.
Do you see, okay.
Vinny, who are your friends here Vinny?
Well first of all, if you were-
Who are these friends of yours?
If you were-
And finally, this really happened at a city council.
Yeah, and if you were in an elevator,
and that first chick, I don't know what it was, walked in,
it's a freaking person, and I pray that they can find,
God helps them in whatever way,
these are mentally ill people, okay?
And this fake narrative of, they're gonna kill us. That's the complete opposite
Okay, it's the transgender community that are responsible for the majority of the past freaking mass shootings
Am I am I making this up the majority of them and they keep hiding their stupid?
Manifestals from us because they don't want to know the real thing is that these people have problems
And I don't know if you guys saw this I'm pretty sure some of the people in the audience did.
Did you see Cynthia Nixon?
She's the washed up actress from Sex and the City.
Did you guys see her?
She was out there, she's protesting against Trump's
executive order to protect kids from insanity
child mutilations and this is their big revelation.
I want you guys to hear this and see what this movement
and why those people are on city council meetings
because the people like this that they look up to
are pushing this stupid agenda.
Go ahead Rob.
I am here today as the mother of a proud trans man.
Woo!
Celebrating it.
Woo!
I am here today as the aunt of a proud trans man
My best friend's kid is trans
My wife and I our lives are filled with the most
amazing beautiful brave trans people, young and old, but especially
young.
My trans kid had his top surgery at NYU a number of years ago.
This is Hollywood pushing their-
His doctors were
fantastic yeah, his surgeon was the best we could have
imagined yeah and the idea that the city is filled with young
people who thought they had a place to go where they could
receive the highest care and that place has now been shot
by Rob okay, do you guys okay her entire world is drowning in where they could receive the highest care and that place has now been shut to them. Shut, all right Rob, okay.
Do you guys, okay, her entire world
is drowning in this ideological freaking cult.
What has to happen that everybody in your family,
the friends, your son, your daughter,
they're all going down this cult route
and it's, dude, Trump is stepping in
to stop us from one of the most destructive
brainwashing campaigns in history that taking children and saying you can make the decision
and I'm going to support you and chop off your this or chop off your that is absolutely insane
and these people need to be in a freaking mental institution, period. Like what are we even talking
about? Evil is real and one of Satan's greatest tricks is first to make people believe he doesn't exist.
And the other thing is what people need to understand is that there is a deep evil and
there's deeper evil that you don't see.
And there's going to be a lot of comments on how people come unglued with what I say
here.
But these are not normal reactions.
These are not normal reactions.
I mean, and it's sad.
It's sad at a big level.
There's suicide statistics nobody wants to talk about unless they use them at city council
to say, oh, you're bad and I'm oppressed.
And it's just, it's horrifying.
And you see this, the city council meeting, and it goes from people who are making a lifestyle
choice to people that are obviously, you know, troubled in some way.
These are not just, you know, gay people living next door to you and living their lives.
These people, if you look at them, they're really troubled and they need help at another
level.
Yeah, I think to me it's flirting with a crime.
You're flirting with being a criminal when you say, you know, kids, especially the youth,
especially the young, how brave they are.
Brave to do what?
The young need direction.
The young need examples.
The young need feedback.
The young need to identify who's the right hero and who's not.
No, you're confusing kids.
And to me, you're flirting with being a criminal because what
you do to them, they'll be regretting for the rest of their lives.
They'll be looking back at 35 years old saying, what the hell did I just buy into?
Why didn't somebody tell me I wasn't doing the right thing?
You know, they say sometimes kids love it.
Like I had one of these relatives that I'm sitting down having a conversation,
it's a tough conversation and this happened a few times,
and she's one of our, one of the kids in the family,
and she'd go back and she'd talk to Jen and would say,
you know what, I love it when I talk to Patrick
and he's holding me accountable because she's like,
it's a way of saying I can't believe he cares so much that he's wanting to hold me disciplined. We want to be held
accountable. We want to have somebody that's paying attention to us. We want
somebody that's holding us at higher levels. We need that. That's a
form of love. That's a form of love. Not to sit there and say do whatever you
want to do. No, no. That's not a form of love. That's called you're not a leader.
You're a weak human being and you in a way are a menace to society and it's unfortunate
when you see these types of things happening. Anyways, gang, go to VT Webinar. I want you
