Highly recommend you go take a look at these guys and see if they're fit for you. Okay, let's get into it. Ohio lawmakers propose paying students to attend school and graduate.

Starting point is 00:07:34 Interesting concept, right? So, and wait to hear Tom's view on this as a parent, and it may surprise some of you. So Ohio lawmakers, Bill Sight and Danny Isakson have introduced bipartisan legislation proposing a pilot program set to launch in 2024-2025 school year, which will reward students for good attendance as a measure to combat chronic absentism. The program, to be administered by the State Department of Education and Workforce, aims to provide cash transfers to select kindergarten and ninth grade students in Ohio. Students with a 90% Ohio attendance will receive $25 cash transfers every two weeks, followed by $150 at the end of

Starting point is 00:08:18 each quarter and a final reward of $500 at the end of school year if they maintain the attendance criteria. Additionally, the lawmakers are suggesting a graduation incentive pilot program in the same academic year, offering students from select schools up to $750 for graduating with high GPAs with the goal of improving graduating rates. Tom. I love this. Ohio finally makes an economic decision. Here's an economic decision. Here's an economic decision. I read,

Starting point is 00:08:47 just looked it up, that the incarceration rate for county jail, now we're not talking about federal prisons, county jail, costs of taxpayers $36,000 per year. Per person. Per person. So in other words, to have one bed in that jail, county jail for, and this is where, by the way, if you get a DOI, you know you may be two days there, or you may have to go to court and have 14 days there.

Starting point is 00:09:12 This is county. And this is where a lot of first and second time offenders of drug possession and things end up. They're not in the federal prison system yet. So they're looking at this and saying, how do we give an incentive on a, oh, here's a novel term, an allowance. This basically allowance to students to stay in attendance because staying in school and not dropping out has a direct correlation with their ability to

Starting point is 00:09:35 earn money and a direct correlation with how many times they get busted for petty theft and things like this. So if they stay in school, it's better. It's better for society. So Ohio is saying, wait a minute, I don't know if they're thinking this way, but as a way I think, hey, instead of putting $36,000 a year on the taxpayer, why don't we spread it out and give these kids an incentive to stay in school and stay attend. And instead of welfare check, you're giving well attendance check. I think this is a great idea. What do you think? Well, I mean, it's a good idea in that sense to try to get them there. But what's to say that these people, these bad kids are just going to show up

Starting point is 00:10:15 just to get the money. It's not going to make them want to learn or be better people. If I knew, listen, I'm going to make $1,000 or 750, like $7. I just come Patrick and I will just sit there. I'd still be if I was a menace and wanted to skip and go do crazy stuff, I'm gonna make a thousand dollars or 750 like seven dollars. I just come Patrick and I would just sit there I'd still be if I was a menace and wanted to skip and go do crazy stuff I'm just gonna do it in the school. You know, you know, you know, I think it's missing two steps in my opinion What I think is good about this idea is they're going to right there So while Tom was talking and looking at all these at thirty six thousand dollars per year per person That's in jail. I looked at what Ohio's rate is for the number of people that go to jail. It's 659, Rob, if

Starting point is 00:10:50 you can pull this up, 659 per 100,000 is what their number of, number, no, 659 per 100,000. Ohio has a population of 11.78 million, which means that roughly 77,000, there it is, 659 per 100,000, and they have 77,000 people in jail. If you take 77,000 people in jail times 36,000, you know what that is? That is $2.79 billion, I'm sorry,

Starting point is 00:11:21 you have $2.79 billion a year to the state. Wow, that's a lot of money, right? Okay, and who pays for that? Sales tax, sales tax, right? Okay, no problem. So am I willing to pay $25 every two weeks and $150 end of each quarter and $500 end of the year for having 90% attendance?

Starting point is 00:11:43 No, maybe I'll create tiers and here's how I would do it. I would do tier one is you have to be there and get a minimum of Cs at the bottom, okay? So worst case you get all Cs, you get one D, you ain't getting your 25 bucks. Smart. Gotta be C or higher, okay?

Starting point is 00:12:00 I like that. Then if you go no Cs and B's and higher, I go 50 bucks. And then you get straight A's, I go 100 bucks. And then if you're in the top five, I'll create tiers in the class. Five gets this, four gets this, three gets this. Number one gets $5,000, okay? And that $5,000 will be used for college,

Starting point is 00:12:22 whatever, scholarship, right? The only thing I have a problem with this is kindergarten if the kid is late to kindergarten That's on the parent. He's got nothing to do. Yeah, so I would change this From the age where the kid can come to school. Maybe I'd started at junior high school from sixth grade They how am I doing pain bonuses for kindergartners? They don't even know what that was gonna Parents gonna take that money and say thank you. Yeah Yeah. The kids money is going to go to the parents money. There's a part of this. I like incentive program to provide and produce the right habits.

Starting point is 00:12:53 I'm for that. Well, I think at that point you can tax the adult for if his kid is late to school. So are you owe us money, buddy? So kids going to get in a fight with his dad all the sudden. You owe us the 25. Let's go, buddy. I'm gonna make 25 bucks today. But I think anything that encourage an incentive program to encourage showing up to school to learning getting better grades, I think is great. If you take a bigger perspective of what's going on in the education system, I think we're all recognizing whatever the current structure of the education

Starting point is 00:13:21 system, specifically the public education system ain't work in Chico. So they got to figure out something that's a little bit more vibrant and sort of restructure what's going on out there, incentive programs for sure, attendance for sure, good grades for, for sure. Do you have any ideas, anything you would add? Well, yeah, I do. Good idea, because we got stories. Well, I want to understand something.

Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah. We all, if you look at what's going on in the college system because basically high school is just a Farm system to go to college right that we all know that college at this point is a scam if you look at the numbers for college Americans are overwhelmed losing faith in colleges in 2013 74% said there was important to go to college now. It's 41% People don't believe that it's important to go to college anymore. People in the same year 2013, is college going in the right direction or the wrong direction? 61 percent said wrong direction, 38 percent right direction. So it starts with the elementary schools, it starts with the

Starting point is 00:14:20 middle schools, it starts with the high schools, incentivizing the right behavior, incentivizing why you're there, incentivizing why you're learning. So when you go there last point, recognition, we do a monthly recognition at value attainment. Hey, you did a great job with the editor. Hey, your channel's growing. Hey, you're crushing it. And everyone gets up, they clap, they get a gift certificate, they get a football, whatever it is. It's important to recognize the kids that are showing up and doing well in school. And one parting shot here is the state of Florida has a thing called the Bright Futures

Starting point is 00:14:52 Program. And the Bright Futures Program in the state of Florida, if you get a 3.5 GPA, and this is any school, Pat, any school, so even if you're in a troubled school, right, you're in a really tough high school, low academic standards there. You get a 3.5 GPA and you do, I think it's 100 service hours. The state of Florida will give you a free education at Florida State, University of Florida, or UCF, the state schools.

Starting point is 00:15:16 So Florida got with this program awhile ago to encourage kids coming from moderate incomes, hey, just get a 3.5. Incentives work, The right incentive work. And by the way, you know what I don't understand is, why, who was the number one student last year in the state of Florida? The number one student.

Starting point is 00:15:34 Who was the number one student last year in the state of Florida? Who's the number 10? Who had the highest GPA in the state of Florida? What kids last year got 1,600 under SATs in the state of Florida or Texas or California, New York? Why don't we know that stuff? Why doesn't the state tweet it out?

Starting point is 00:15:48 You mean to tell me parents wouldn't recognize it? I don't think, when they ask me what is the biggest problem that's going on the last four years, I said the number one problem we have in America is a hero making machine. If we're not doing the hero making machine recognition, I want to know which kids crushed it and have media talk about it. doing the hero making machine recognition, I want to know which kids crushed it and have media talk about it. Especially when you talked about, that was the one, especially about teachers

Starting point is 00:16:10 and giving them shout outs and letting us know. But by the way, this could backfire, because if you're in Ohio and you're a parent, you're like, I don't want to work, I'm gonna pump out 10 kids, put them all in school every year, like you keep your ass in school. That's a paycheck, paycheck, paycheck.

Starting point is 00:16:22 Yeah, I don't think it's enough money to pay the bills. I get what you're saying. If they get it to that point, you're right. You're right. Okay, let's go to the right way. This kind of goes perfectly with the next story on what's going on in the state of California and California. So where's that story by California's Washington, Oakland. Okay, there you go. Oakland, California, only in an out restaurant closing due to crime paid six if you want to go to it. And this leads me with, okay, so the only in and out burger location Oakland, California is closing due to a surge in crime, including car break ins property damage theft and armed robberies of customers and employees according to the company. According to the company, NNOT's COO, Chief Operating Officer Danny Warwick, stated top priority must be the safety and the well-being of our customers and associates. We cannot ask them to visit to work or work in an unsafe environment.

Starting point is 00:17:15 The closure comes after repeated attempts to deter crime and maximize safety. In the last day of operation for the Oak Port Street location in its March 24 Current employees will have the option to work at nearby locations or receive severance packages Tom What what stats do you have with what's going on in California? Obviously? What's your opinion on this? But I know the homelessness status came up from California and I know Rob's got it You might going through that both of it the story and reaction to the stats? This Oakland is self-explanatory. What's been happening in Oakland, you've got tremendous homelessness over there in the greater Bay Area. You've got that that

Starting point is 00:17:53 Pooplocation map that DeSantis pulled out of his pocket when he and Gavin Newsom did that debate and that's a real map and that that kind of thing is happening in New York and other things. So what's what's happening this is you know homelessness oh, you know, defund the police and everything. It's all coming home to see it. But our government keeps track of homelessness and check this out. Rob, do you have it at the end of last year? Let's see the cover of the report real quick. Who was that face we just saw?

Starting point is 00:18:19 That was John. We're going to go back because you just threw me off. Yeah, go back. Same guy. Yeah, we'll get into that. Go the other way. You were going the right direction. you just threw me off. Yeah, go back. Yeah, we'll get into that. Go the other way. You were going the right direction. Rob, you frightened me. Don't show me that.

Starting point is 00:18:31 And so this is our very own, here it is, the 2023 annual homelessness assessment report to Congress by HUD, right? Housing and Urban Development. So this is our government reporting on itself, its states, and it came out at December, released around the holiday time, without a press release or without any fanfare. I wonder why a rather blue Congress would not want a lot of fanfare. Let's find out. So we take the top three population states, and you go to those three.

Starting point is 00:19:03 Rob, right there. Here's the top three population states, go to those three Rob right there. Here's the top three population states. And here's the report on those states. This report had all 50 states and we're going to play a game in a minute. I love game called love it called red blue. Love it. Red blue. But right now, California. I mean, so people would say, well, stats can be overblown

Starting point is 00:19:21 because there's more people live in the state, let people live in the state. Hey, let's look at it on an equal basis for every 10,000 people in California. 46 are homeless and 68% have zero shelter. That is a sleeping bag on the street. A sleeping bag on the street. Now, for Gavin Newsom that likes to brag, take a look at Florida, 14 people per 10,000. So in other words, on an equal percentage basis, California's four times worse homelessness than Florida. What about Texas, you know, things are going on?

Starting point is 00:20:02 Guess what? It's nine out of 10,000, meaning that California is five times. Although California, Texas is gonna skyrocket by the end of 2024 because of the way Governor Abbott's handled the border. Border's correct. That number's not gonna look good

Starting point is 00:20:15 by the end of 2024. And by the way, I looked up because people say things are changing. So I looked up the 2022 report. California has gone from 44 to 46 out of 10,000. Wow. Florida went from 12 to 14, and Texas went from eight to nine. So homelessness is up in all three states, but what's really interesting to look, Texas,

Starting point is 00:20:38 only 42% of them, but that's still bad, are actually unsheltered on the street. So if you look at the green, that's the people living on the street, completely unsheltered in Florida, it's about 50-50. But these are the stats. These are the stats. So you wanna talk about your state, you gotta look at numbers. You know what's amazing is,

Starting point is 00:20:56 and he'll go on Bill Maher yesterday, okay? And I don't know if you guys had a chance to see it. Did you watch the whole thing? Yeah, of course I watched the whole thing. If you watch him on Bill Maher, again, his ability to spin everything as if they're- He Gavin? He's a bullshit artist.

Starting point is 00:21:12 Gavin Newsom was on Bill Maher yesterday. He's a professional bullshit artist. And his ability to tell what they're doing and how much he cares and all this stuff. And Bill Maher's like, look, I don't like how divisive this is being. That's being red state, blue state. I don't like that you're doing that.

Starting point is 00:21:25 He says, look, I agree with that. I think we all wanna be loved. I think we all wanna be liked, and I wanna be liked. And I love Florida, I love the people in Florida. But what are you gonna do? Are you gonna let all these guys attack ESG, DEI, any three letter word that they get? Are we gonna let them do that?

Starting point is 00:21:39 And it's only the red state people that are doing that. So this is happening under his watch. By the way, I want you to think about this, okay? Economically, who has hurt the state of California the worst since California was a state? Name anybody. You can name gangsters, you can name mobsters, you can name gangs, blood and crib,

Starting point is 00:22:03 you can name technology, you can name anybody who know, gangs, blood and crib, you can name technology, you can name anybody who in the history of California hurt the state's conditions and economy the worst since 1851. Think about names. Tom, what names would you give? You lived in California. What names would you say hurt the state of affairs

Starting point is 00:22:23 in California the economy the most. Wow. There was a governor named, Democrat governor Gray Davis, who got recalled and shot out of a cannon and Arnold Schwarzenegger replaced him, and Gavin Newsom. You can look at their record.

Starting point is 00:22:37 It's leadership at the top. You know what's the difference though? During Davis, the net migration rate didn't skyrocket the way that under Newsom, back to back to back. He may go down as the worst person in the history of the state of California that hurt the economy of California. I don't think there's anybody that's hurt the economy worse than Gavin Newsom Just the economy you're talking about just overall homelessness dirty if if California was a company is the worst CEO They've ever had I agree. No, no because because a CEO is judged on what?

Starting point is 00:23:16 What's a CEO judge done how happy people are no no what's CEO judge done? It's numbers and they number yeah, okay So how did these guys go from that at what time they had a 97 billion dollar surplus last year exactly 72 billion last year How do you do that? They had a 90 billion plus dollar so give or take and they're down 70 billion a year How do you spend all that money? How do you go through all that money? Historically this guy if he was a CEO in California was a business as to where CEO California's ever had and you want to see This is what his stock chart and by the way, he will still run for president

Starting point is 00:23:48 And he's still got a states, please Take a look at this California the homeless rate has increased 30% since 2007 Florida. It's decreased 36% Texas decreased 31% So if you look at that as a long-term stock chart on homelessness, it's basically they've run California into the ground. And Cas Wonka was really fast on it.

Starting point is 00:24:10 So they tried to recall him with Larry Elder as a voter, as a person. Are you that blinded? Everybody that lives there in California to me is like, yeah, everything sucks. They all complain, but they're like, yeah, but the weather. They always turn to the weather. How do you not recall a guy like blatantly in your face that is absolutely

Starting point is 00:24:27 horrible how do you not vote them out give you a little perspective I'm sorry yeah yeah go ahead Tom there's two things here real quick and then we'll go straight to Adam they successfully put him on the ballot 100% the citizen successfully petitioned had enough signatures to get him on the ballot recall yeah but there was no one that was strong enough politically against him that's what happened got okay no I mean look you're saying Had enough signatures to get him on the bow was on the recall. Yeah, but there was no one that was strong enough Politically against him. That's what happened. Okay. No, I mean look you're saying Larry wasn't Larry Elder Was a strong enough he was there was not a strong enough candidate, but he was ripe for the Taking we can do all the data we can do all the stats and anybody that actually is paying attention

Starting point is 00:25:00 We'll look into this and be like, oh wow Nobody's reading into these stats. Nobody's doing the due diligence. Nobody's doing the research because it's all based on feelings these days. And we know that politics is a feelings game. How do I feel about the candidate? How do they make me feel? We've always heard, you know, for facts, don't care about your feelings, but most people these days operate on emotion and feelings. They're going over personality over policy. So we saw that debate when Gavin Newsom was up against the Santas and I'm in Florida. I'm a Florida guy. You guys are all, you know, lived in California your whole life. I'm looking at this and I'm like, everything is on the Santas side here. This homeboy is

Starting point is 00:25:41 busting out poop maps to show you what a shit show literally literally California is. Yeah. And at the end of the debate, they said, who won the debate? They're like, Oh, Gavin Newsom Gavin Newsom one. Yeah. It's like, stop it with the stats. You have to make people feel a certain type of way. We can get into basically what the Santas is lack of ability in order to do that. But if you're running against Newsom, the way that you, the way that you can beat someone like that is not with stats cause he's gonna, he's such a slick, skilled politician. You have to draw a motion. Do you understand that in Gavin Newsom's California in and out burgers will

Starting point is 00:26:22 cease to exist. Yeah. People like not my in and out burgers Yeah, exactly. People love I mean we used to go to the one and an Addison the best This is the type of guy that will run all your favorite stores all your favorite You're making a very by the way, you're making a very very good point. I mean it's been a while, but you're making a very good point The question is about leadership. The real question is did he hit the net? Rob, can I have the pink charts? Rob, pink charts.

Starting point is 00:26:50 If I may, you're making a very good point, and the reason why that's a very good point is because all of this is storytelling, right? It's all storytelling. You know, I had one of my guys spoke to yesterday and he's creating content. And one of his strengths is he's one of the best storytellers. We've ever had in the history of the company But when he's doing his videos all he's talking about is facts facts facts and it's logic logic logic I said dude, you're one of the best storytellers tell a flippin story. Okay. Tell a good story. Take a minute Tell a story. Okay. I remember 2009 when this happened to me and da da da da da and then boom tell the story

Starting point is 00:27:24 You know how to tell a story You don't know what needs to teach you a person who naturally is a good storyteller You don't need to teach them how to tell a story just let a rip and don't even give him any feedback just go do what you do right and The right is trying to win arguments with logic the left is winning arguments by emotion and You need both You know this whole book that just came out, Choose Your Enemies Wisely, the breakdown of business planning for the longest time. Everything I, you know, would sit down with guys and they would write a plan. It was all logic, logic, logic, logic, logic.

Starting point is 00:27:57 Now I have guys that would only write emotion, emotion, emotion and both of them will lose, okay? But typically the emotion one had a little bit of an edge over the logic guy, okay, typically, because they had a bigger reason to fight and they wouldn't quit. But you give me the guys that can do logic and emotion, the right has all the logic on their side. They have the stats on their side right now.

Starting point is 00:28:17 You just have to tell stories of what's going on. New York, let me read you the story with New York. Here's New York for you, ready? Rob, what page is the New York when you just text me? There you go 10 New York City neighborhood turn into a giant toilet as migrants litter park with poop Leave cups of urine on doorsteps. What leaving cups of your imagine you wake up in the morning There's cups of urine on your doorsteps So a recent report highlights significant sanitation,

Starting point is 00:28:45 problem in New York City's Tompkins Square Park, primarily caused by migrants waiting outside in East Village Intake Center after their shelter stay limited expired. Limits expired, port, port, portapodies were removed due to extreme filth leaving the area without adequate restroom facilities. According to local residents, Garrett Rosso, migrants were using plastic cups to urinate,

Starting point is 00:29:12 and he spotted a dozen cups filled with urine. Guardian Angels founder Curtis Silva criticized Mayor Adams for his handling of the migrants, stating he's the swagger man with no plan, everything he does, it's a knee jerk reaction with no follow up. So again, when you see data and you see results and you show these videos and you see how unhappy people are, bad policies have consequences. You're seeing it in New York and in California. And here's the thing, what did you expect? Okay, what did you expect?

Starting point is 00:29:40 You open the door, you let everybody in. They're pooping, they're pissing. I have reports from my cousins from New York. Guess what? Now the migrants are knocking on people's doors, going, hey, panhandling at your door. And it's only a matter of time. What do you mean by that?

Starting point is 00:29:54 They're knocking on people's doors, going, hey, you have a dollar? Can I have five dollars? They want money. You know in the corner, when you stop at a light, homeless people come in your car? I swear to God, Pat, they're coming to the door, knocking and going money.

Starting point is 00:30:04 Some guy, I forgot where a guy was interviewed, I saw him on X, he's like, I pay my taxes, I've never been late, I've always, he goes, now you guys are opening up this place, busting people in, and now they're coming to the door, and now, guess what, this is first, it's poop and piss, knocking on your door, next thing is gonna be when they have no hope, they're coming into your house.

Starting point is 00:30:23 Just wait and see, you talking about the year of chaos, but it's coming because it's gradually happening. What do you mean by coming to your house? Like, hey, you got an extra spare room. Let somebody's in here. Come on up. Oh, Pat, robbing the house. Because, but once somebody is back into a corner

Starting point is 00:30:35 and they have nothing, if they can't, pee or piss anywhere, it's a matter of time to where they're starving and they're like, we're coming in your effing house. It's only a matter of time since until the narrative changes in New York, we say this all the time when we're in New York, like, we're coming in your effing house. And it's only a matter of time until the narrative changes in New York. We say this all the time when we're in New York, hey, I'm walking here.

Starting point is 00:30:48 And soon it's gonna be like, hey, I'm busy here, bro. I get out. You're gonna change dramatically. How does that happen? It's leadership, and we need leaders that are dynamic that can not only, and this may sound familiar, because I'm coachable, can not only drive but sell. And I feel like the conservatives know how to drive and drive stats

Starting point is 00:31:06 And I tend to be on that side But you also have to be able to sell you have to be able to sell your position be a great leadership Let's play a fast fast fast game and we'll get to the next topic Rob the pink chart, please this arms got his game This is the charts. This is the homeless report you yell When I name a state Okay, this is the top ten that are on the homeless and this is leadership. What's going on District of Columbia blue, California blue Vermont blue Oregon blue Hawaii blue New York Blue Washington blue main blue Alaska blue red. No Alaska, blue, red, damn it! Oh, you got caught, both of you.

Starting point is 00:31:43 Nine of the top ten. You got caught. Alaska, Vinnie, come on. The point is, why is this? Why are the voters still electing leadership in these states where the homelessness is so bad leading to people peeing in cups, knocking on your door and actually panhandling and making you concerned about the security of your family? The Republicans have to come out and the conservatives have to come out, and we have to not only drive home the stats

Starting point is 00:32:09 and talk about the facts, we also have to sell the vision and sell. We need dynamic candidates to come out there who can not only lead but can drive. You have to sell and drive. If you wanna know how corrupt this situation has become, I get these lists, I mean, we can do that. Look at number one on the list and it's not even close.

Starting point is 00:32:28 This is close. Oh, by the way, DC. 65. The capital of the United States that is dictating policy all across the country is an absolute disaster zone right there. But the little essential. 50% worse than any state.

Starting point is 00:32:41 But, by the way, it's all by design. It's all for the votes. Look, think about what's happening in Texas. Because by the way, the majority of all that, District Columbia, they're all coming in through Texas. Do you understand that the Joe Biden's White House is suing Texas because Texas is trying to protect the border with the barbed wire.

Starting point is 00:33:00 Do you like, think about that, think about that. Texas is overrun. The government is going, who the hell do. Do you like, think about that, think about that. Texas is overrun, the government is going, who the hell do you think you are, Texas, by stopping this influx of Democrat votes? Think about that. So let's just be honest, everybody in power, from the White House, hedge fund managers, Supreme Court,

Starting point is 00:33:18 they don't give a shit about your safety. They want everybody to come in, and at what point, Texas, they have to, I'm not saying take up arms and shoot migrants, but you gotta protect your border, bro. Cause it's only a matter of time until these people come in, and then here's my thing, Adam. If one illegal person kills one American in a car accident or rapes and kills or whatever, whatever,

Starting point is 00:33:38 that's too much for me. And that means you gotta protect yourself cause they don't give a shit about you. But let me go through the story. Immigration overtakes inflation as top voter concern. This is a poll that just came up that now this is as of January 22nd, the hill. And the story is immigration has searched as the top policy concern amongst voters with 35% of respondents listing it as their paramount concern, marking a 7% point increase compared

Starting point is 00:34:07 to the previous month's poll. Inflation followed closely behind with 32% of respondents. When asked about personal impact, 38% of respondents indicated that inflation affects them directly, while 17% mentioned immigration. The number of respondents citing immigration's personal impact increased by 3% points over the previous survey. Despite a reduction in inflation, immigration remains a significant political issue with both Republicans and some Democrats emphasizing a majority of voters, 64% believe that conditions at the border are worsening and 68% believe that the administration should make it tougher

Starting point is 00:34:42 to enter the U.S US legally, reflecting a bipartisan desire for stricter border enforcement. Adam makes total sense to me because, you know, don't look now, but the economy has been doing better. There's a story here about basically how people are feeling a little bit more optimistic on the economy. Inflation has cooled down to somewhere around 3% these days. If you ask the average American, what's the, what is the inflation rate right now? They would tell you it's probably seven, eight, nine, 10%. The Fed has actually done a decent job

Starting point is 00:35:11 of what they would call a soft landing in the economy. Not so much Boeing, but that's a whole nother story. But, you know, exactly unemployment right now is at 3.5%. We just saw the stock market reach record highs 38,000. I remember being in Dallas shooting a video where we reached 30,000 in 2020, but there is a difference between Wall Street and Main Street. We understand that, but the economy seems to be doing on the right track. We'll see what happens with the, with the, with the interest rates and you know,

Starting point is 00:35:41 whether they're going to give a pause and all that but speaking of storytelling Nothing makes you feel more Angered as an American just to see the open border Caravans unbelievable pouring into the country you even have Democrats right now like John Fetterman Who's just using common sense guys. This isn't a left or right thing. It's a an American thing What is happening at the border, guys? When you see images like this, how left do you have to be to say, yeah, I'm totally fine with that. The questions need to be answered. So to give a bottom line on this, totally understand why the immigration in the border is now at the top of the list versus the economy.

Starting point is 00:36:21 Because it's coming home. It's coming to their doorstep, literally, and when you have loser left his shills, like Jim Acosta when Trump was in, and he's like, it's an invasion. He goes, I consider an invasion, and Jim Acosta's like, what are you talking about? They're just people looking for refuge. It's people like that, and that's why when they call them

Starting point is 00:36:39 the enemy of the people, you are, because that is an invasion, and I'll say it again, one American dies because of that I think we go to the people are suing them people are going to the government to sue them because not one life should be lost And not one school should be shut down for I don't give a shit for how long because we have to put migrants Illegal people inside of a school because it's cold outside Just to juxtapose texas versus new york and I understand where texas are coming from because if you look at new york They're like it's uh other people are pissing New York, they're like it's a Yeah, there are people are passing the shading. It's a mess here. There's only tens of thousands of people there

Starting point is 00:37:09 How many millions it's not come through Texas forget it So New York is getting just a little taste of what Texas is basically saying and why there's such Objections to the open border. I play this clip by Federman on Twitter the clip you just pulled up a minute ago If you can just go right there watch this you. This is Federman by the way where you know He's the guy that be dr. Oz right? Yeah, so so here's what he has to say about the border listen to him Because obviously a lot of progressives on Twitter have been attacking you for your position on Israel for noting that in your opinion Saying that there is a crisis at the border does not make one xenophobic.

Starting point is 00:37:49 Why do you think you've been so criticized by so many progressives? I honestly don't understand. I don't understand why it's controversial to anybody to decide that you're going to stand with Israel in this situation. I honestly don't understand why it's controversial to say we need a secure border. I've been very clear, in fact, that was weaponized against me as Republicans in my race,

Starting point is 00:38:11 that I'm very much a strong supporter of immigration. And, you know, my wife's family, that's the Oregon story about that. And I think two things can be true at the same time. You can be very supportive of immigration, but we also need to have a secure border. And I really, I think about immigration is we want to provide the American dream for any migrant, but it seems very difficult when you have 300,000 people showing up encountered at our border to do that. And I think we need to do a

Starting point is 00:38:41 reset and we have to work together and develop a new comprehensive solution to that. And that would also unlock a lot of the critical aid for Ukraine. Again, we cannot forget about Ukraine. That's critical for Israel and Taiwan. That's a very important kind of standard that we have to maintain, that we're going to support and stand with our allies at that are very critical. I will. First of all, I think since his stroke, I don't, I, and I'm so happy that he's better. Either the stroke made him think straight or that's his body double and his body doubles

Starting point is 00:39:14 a Republican and they're like, what the hell, which one did we pick? Which one did you put in front of the camera? Look, dude, Fred, you were supposed to interview these guys. Doesn't look like the same guy. That does not look like the same guy to me. You know, listen, you never know. It's not the same, but it is the same guy. But boy, did you ever hear him speak like that? That's insane that he's turned completely. He sounds like a Republican. No, I, I don't think there's a body double. I'm just going to, I'm going to, I'm going to go with the facts here. Not, not, not some fantasy. I think what this guy is doing is any guy in PA, because he beat Dr. Oz and Dr. Oz was,

Starting point is 00:39:47 I think, moved from Dallas or wherever the hell he came from. It's easy to dismiss this guy as a weird-looking, sweater-wearing, shorts-rockin dude. But when you actually put together some of the words that he's talking about, he's actually just using a very common sense approach to politics. And he's not pandering to the left. And he's not basically, you know, going down the path of the right and saying, Hey, I don't believe in that. He actually has stances and he actually has a backbone. This guy's got a lot of issues, bro. He had a stroke. He has health issues. He's been, it's been noted that he's dealing with anxiety and depression and he's dealing with all sorts of stuff, but it's not hard to say, I stand with our democratic allies

Starting point is 00:40:30 in Israel. It's not hard to say a country without a border is not a country. It's not hard to say, Hey, whether you agree with it or not, I'm not on team Vladimir Putin. These aren't controversial statements, but that where we're at today in the woke-ified left and the hard right is that people are going to say, what are you talking about? But actually what he's saying is just very common sense. But the catch you guys a question though, do you think honestly, Tom, do you think that in this four years of

Starting point is 00:41:00 fighting with this open still right now wide open is it the damage has already been done meaning there's no coming back from what they've done and that was their plan along because Trump will come in okay Trump it's gonna take them years to build the wall okay they're gonna start deporting who's had the most deportation was it Obama how many three million two million he's the goat he's the goat the greatest they called him the was it called what they call him the porter and chief commander in the quarter in chief Okay, think about this, but when when Biden's done how many illegals would be here?

Starting point is 00:41:30 What's the project same 12.99 million Arkansas another Arkansas almost 30 million here? Yes, okay Do you in one term in one term? But then us do you think that the damage has already been done? There's no coming back from that because they're here even if he deports three million those ten million or whatever are gonna have kids and their kids and their kids and their kids are all gonna vote Democrat, do you think it's it's the damage is done to 60 40 split? It's a 65 35 split the people that come here from the border. They're gonna vote Democrats 65 percent of time 65 64 65 percent of time give or take yeah, the split is how you're just increasing,

Starting point is 00:42:07 but strategically, you're targeting a state. It's the state that'll give them victory for decades to come. That's what you're targeting. You're targeting Texas. Texas. It's a brilliant, dark, deceptive, but effective strategy. That's what you gotta take.

Starting point is 00:42:24 Your enemy is using a great strategy. In your face, doing anything about it. Well, guess what? More power to your enemy. If you're gonna sit around and be okay with it, and they're like, yeah, you know, look what's going on with the border, let's go down to the water. Yeah, it's open, okay. Wide open. And now here's the question becomes, I can't wait if, let's just say Trump wins.

Starting point is 00:42:42 I can't wait for Trump to win. I can't wait for Trump to win. I can't wait if let's just say Trump wins, he comes and he deports a record breaking amount of people out of the state. And the left goes after him. And then he says, what happened to your hero? Yeah, what happened to your hero, Barack Obama? Is he not your savior? Do you know he held a record for the most people deported as a president? Go.

Starting point is 00:43:11 All I'm doing is the catastrophic thing your president, Joe Biden did with 12.1 million, give it, right now we're at eight and a half million. Eight and a half. And you got how much longer left in his term, whatever, another year, the way it's going right now. Right now we've got eight and a half million. Say we end up at 10 million, so we end up at 11,

Starting point is 00:43:26 12 million, right? They're projecting 12,000,000, 999,000. Okay. You know what Trump's going to do with that. But at the same time, the point you're making is, yes, the damage has been done percentage-wise. It's not a pretty sight. So let me get to the next story here, since we've gone with this quite a few times. Let's go to the next one. So Bernie Sanders, his wife accepted a $106,000 book advance in 2017. She's still working on the book. This is the leftist business publication Forbes that wrote this. Seven years after receiving a six-figure advance, Jane Sanders, wife of Senator Sanders, is still working on the book. A community activist, a former college administrator, accepted a $106,000 book advance according to the Sanders 2017 tax return and a statement from her husband's presidential campaign in 2019,

Starting point is 00:44:19 said to be published by St. Martin's Press, which previously had released a Senator's Memoir, Jane Sanders book, was going to be about the couple's experience together in public service. A campaign aide told a Daily Mail at the time that the payment was made public. About seven years later, it is yet to be published, but Sanders has held on to their advance. In an email to Forbes, she was optimistic about the project, following Bernie's book in the presidential campaign in COVID. I'm currently writing it. And dare I say, it's shaping up to be quite good. She expects it to be published after the election.

Starting point is 00:44:53 Tom, you were in the publishing business. You had a company back in the days called Premier Digital Publishing, right? We published a book together. Yeah. Doing your impossible. So how long normal after the publisher gives the author and advance should they expect a book back from them?

Starting point is 00:45:10 You're looking for your first draft of that book with structure in like nine months. And then it usually takes about a year, as you know, Pat, for editing and prepping and marketing and everything. So usually about 18 months to 24 months, the book's on the market and out there and it's been sold and you're out there talking on radio shows about it.

Starting point is 00:45:29 And so to be this long, I think the problem is what the book is about. It was our successful moments in public service. And I've heard, because I talked to somebody, they wanted 10 and she's only up to one. And so she needs to find the other nine successful moments so she can actually complete the book. I think that's what the problem is.

Starting point is 00:45:50 Do you really think that's what the problem is? I think the problem is, is probably, excuse me, I'm gonna say a word here, it's probably a piece of shit. And St. Martin's Press is saying, I need something different, I need something more. Pat, you have experience. Publishers have editors and experts at work on this,

Starting point is 00:46:05 and they look at other books that are similar. They look at this very smart. And if she either hasn't produced it or what she's produced is unpublishable, and they're going back and forth on this. It's very simple. I should get the money back. It's become clear and clear and clear to me that we were all duped in 2016. Because a lot of people basically were enamored with Bernie Sanders. Oh, the millionaires and the billionaires and you know, he's a great storyteller. We talked about that. But storytelling is only a part of it.

Starting point is 00:46:35 You actually have to have facts on your side. And it's become clear and clear that there's Bernie Sanders, there's Sam Bankman freed. There's Bernie made off and there's all something very shami and scammy about all these guys. And he just is still in Congress basically running his little scam out there. But Rob, pull this up anytime that you look, if you ever want to know the difference between where capitalism prevails and socialism or collectivism and communist basically does not prevail. Just look at the map of North Korea and South Korea. Okay. And at night and like how much South Korea is glowing and how much North Korea is in the dark here.

Starting point is 00:47:18 Right. So it's Rob, you'll find it, but it the policies is what you have to pay attention to. Yeah, you see all the lights going on in South Korea, and there's no lights going on there in North Korea. That's what's actually going on in Bernie Sanders' mind. He's telling you great stories. He's telling you that there's gonna, the great new deal is gonna do all this, and the wokeness and the leftness,

Starting point is 00:47:40 but there's no facts to support any of his nonsense. Yeah, so that part of the argument is great. From the business standpoint, if a company comes and gives you money that you raise, okay? They say, we'll give you $100 million. Okay, they'll put a timeline. We want this money back within what Tom? 35, seven, nine, 10 years, right?

Starting point is 00:48:01 Yeah, and it's called a redemption right. And they usually put like a five or seven year deadline. Perfect, a redemption right. Why, and it's called a redemption right, and they usually put like a five or seven-year deadline. Perfect. A redemption right. Why would a publisher not put a redemption right and say, hey, you got three years to give me a book. You got five years to give me a book. Okay, your big name.

Starting point is 00:48:15 We'll give you five years. But you don't need seven years. Why am I giving you $106,000 for seven years? Because I think, here's what happens. Simon and Chuster, Warner Brooks, McMillan, they all compete with each other. And what'll happen is they'll want a big book from somebody that's just done something.

Starting point is 00:48:34 First ladies, they want the book in the second year of their term. Every first lady has a book. They're looking for it in the second year. And they all compete. So it's the word non-recoupable. And we hear it the same, so it's a non-recoupable advance. So I'm giving you an advance, it'll be non-recoupable, but they fully believe that the book's going to get there. It's like

Starting point is 00:48:53 Adam can talk about, he follows NBA quite a bit, there's guaranteed contracts. If you get hurt or not, if you want to resign, a premier player. So they gave a guaranteed contract to Jane Sand. That's exactly. I believe that was probably a non-recrupable advance. The same way if you want to resign, a guy, a guy's in the fifth year, you know what that is. He's played out his rookie contract and now he's an all-star. His option. And he's got the option. So guess what the NBA will give him? A team will say it's a hundred million dollar contract and 20 a year is guaranteed. You know it's crazy. Same thing. You know what event was it when when Sanders lost a bit of credibility with me? I mean I

Starting point is 00:49:31 think he's a true believer. Him and his wife they went to their honeymoon in Soviet Union. I mean they fully believe communism. They're not just like you know they're true believers. They're all in. However, what happened was the most incredible story was under during his campaign when it was done done And he was campaigning for minimum wage should be $15 and he was paying his workers couple of them 13 bucks an hour and that story came up. That's when I realized the campaign knock it off with this $15 an hour stuff That you don't want to pay your own guys. I'll say one more thing about the book. Dude, I don't think anybody is excited to have this book come out.

Starting point is 00:50:08 You know how sometimes we'll have booking meetings and you're like, all right, yeah, this person, let's get this person, but it has to be this week. It has to be in the next two weeks. We got to get them on here because the story's hot right now. Who gives a shit about Bernie Sanders, much less Bernie Sanders wife right now. I think if I'm the publisher, I was like, dude, go take the money, you ripped us off by. She's probably done one chapter because he's probably done one good thing.

Starting point is 00:50:30 Just make the rest pop up. So just him going, I'm going to like balloon hair, do something, make it interesting. Yeah, I think they don't care if she finishes the book or not, they're like, you stole the money, you pons, he's came down. Congratulations, have a great day. All right, let's go to an uplifting story with Joy Reid.

Starting point is 00:50:44 So MSNBC, Joy Reid and Moms of Liberty, go at it. And you just have to see this exchange because MSNBC, Joy Reid criticized Tiffany Justice, co-founder Moms of Liberty over banning the memoir, All Boys Aren't Blue. From schools questioning for qualifications, what is the expertise that you have and other moms or liberty advocates have to decide that a book, an award winning book isn't appropriate for students to read. Just as a response by stating, I don't have to be an expert to know that dildos are not appropriate for public schools. Okay, I can read the rest of it for you, but I'll let you see the clip, Rob. If you have the clip, I'm sure Joy Reid's gonna do

Starting point is 00:51:26 a much better job than me reading this. Watch this clip, your parents. I really wanna know, how are you reacting to this exchange? Rob, is this the full clip? Go ahead and play the clip, go ahead and play the clip. What I'm asking is, what is the expertise that you have and other Moms for Liberty advocates have to decide that a book, an award-winning book

Starting point is 00:51:46 like All Boys Art Blue isn't appropriate for students to read. What is your expertise? What a tragic story of a young man who's annually raped by his adult family member. So you have incest, rape, pedophilia. Joy, you said you'd let me answer, so I'm gonna answer for you.

Starting point is 00:52:00 Sure, please do. In what context is a strap-on dildo acceptable for public school just let me that's my question to you tell me what the context around the strap on dildo or the rape of a minor child by a teacher talking about public school one moment okay so now you've asked me questions and I'm gonna answer it okay well who is the main character what's the name of the main character in all boys in blue what a question you just gave me very specific information about this book.

Starting point is 00:52:28 So you're presenting yourself as somebody expert. It's the general. Hold on. Who is the main character in the book? The main character is the author. What's his name? George, I believe this is first seen. Because you're giving me very specific information that is pointing yourself as an expert. You're asking me to remember the name of an author. The name of the author doesn't enjoy. Here's my question. You're talking about here's your question. You didn't answer my question. No, no, no. I'm going to answer your question.

Starting point is 00:52:47 Great. I would love to hear that. Absolutely. Well, I'm interviewing you and you're not interviewing me. So let's just make sure it's a conversation. What I'm saying to you is that as you are not an expert, in this book, or in the future, those aren't appropriate for public school,

Starting point is 00:53:01 I mean, this book is a full context story, as you said, of the author's experience. I cannot believe this is being sold on TV. Why is it your right, or a mom's for liberty activist's right, to say that a parent who wants their child to have access to this book, which gives a personal experience of this author. Oh my goodness.

Starting point is 00:53:19 This is embarrassing for MSNBC. The white of the liberal parents, for instance, or a parent of an LGBTQ kid, why don't they have a right for their child to just have access to this book? Why is it your right to say they can't? So again, we're talking about incest, rape and pedophilia. And each parent has to decide what is appropriate for their child to read.

Starting point is 00:53:40 So I want you to answer. I'm going to ask you one more time. What is your right to tell a parent who wants their child who might feel seen by this story? Why don't they have the right? Why don't they have the right as a parent to say, my child can have access to this book? If a child feels seen by this story,

Starting point is 00:53:57 that means that they have been the victim of a predator. That means that they have either been raped by a family member. They, they've experienced. And your proof of that is what you just said. What's your proof of that? You're seen by the story. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Starting point is 00:54:15 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, You can pause at this point. Okay, be honest with me. Do you think she's that stupid? No, she's not. Or this is a narrative, because by the way, let's not forget who, by the way,

Starting point is 00:54:28 never trust anybody that's hair looks like this to make any decisions about anything about you and your kids. What she's doing right here is one of the reasons people like me always think that the left is always over sexualizing kids and doesn't care about topics like this. And that's why everybody's always like, dude, what is she talking about what is she

Starting point is 00:54:48 even talking about and let's not forget who Joy Reed is she's the one member on the panel with Bill Maher when Anne Coulter was like Donald Trump's the what's it called she made that face like she's an idiot there's no way she could think like this. Tom when you hear this logically when you hear this logically, when you hear this, a host of a brand MSNBC saying it's okay for a book with dildos and pedophilia. How do you process this as a printer, Tom? So, Joy Reid is a pathetic mouthpiece of the left that wants to sexualize children

Starting point is 00:55:20 and wants to make sure that onboarding and grooming materials are present on the shelves of libraries and public schools. It's as simple as that. They want the stuff on there. They want the progressive sexualization of kids. That's the purpose here. Now, I happen to think that this woman could have done better for herself. I would have known the author. I would have known his date of birth. I would have known the name of the publisher and I would have fired back at her pretty hard on those. So I think she could have done better for herself, I would have known the author, I would have known his date of birth, I would have known the name of the publisher, and I would have fired back at her pretty hard on those. So I think she could have been a little bit more informed

Starting point is 00:55:50 and kind of fought back against it. But Joy Reed's whole angle here is to discredit her. That's all she's trying to do. She was not arguing even for the book. She's just trying to discredit the other side. I'm interviewing you, you're not interviewing me. Meaning I'm here to ask a bunch of questions to discredit you. But all I see is a mouthpiece for the left to advocate to putting this stuff on the shelves

Starting point is 00:56:13 in public schools to allow kids to have access to it, to act on their curiosities or act on their depression. That's her job here. Look, it's becoming clearer and clearer who she is. You know, she's going to reap what she's so I just Googled joy read just to kind of see what's popping up. If you Google joy read, do it right now. The first thing that pops up is joy read strap on. So congratulations. This is now the word associated with your name. Don't Google strap on. No, just, just just joy read. That's the first thing that pops up. On joy. The second thing that pops up is joy read hair. And I realized where, where have

Starting point is 00:56:49 I seen this hair before? And it's one of our favorite movies over here. Rob, if you could pull that up, we saw her go full retard in tropic thunder. We recognize that hairdo. And you know, they said, yeah, mama, mama. They said, you know, never go full retail rubber here. But you know, I also found out that Joy has three kids and she's married. I didn't, I thought she might've been a lesbian. I don't know. But she's got three kids. So I want to know if she's going to let her kids read this book. I want to know if she's encouraging her kids to enjoy this type of lifestyle. The youngest child that she has is 24 years old

Starting point is 00:57:26 So if her child was in elementary or middle school, that was what 15 years ago before this was you know Prelevant for most schools to have these types of books young child is 24. How old is she? Jesus anyway good for her but She's just just an absolute shill of whatever's happening here. I'm actually wanting to talk real like substance here. Forget about, you know, you calling her idiot or shill or this and this and that on Tom, we'll come back to Tom. You sound something awesome. Hank tight will come to you Tom. So forget about, you know,

Starting point is 00:58:01 what she is and you know, all the it. The average parent who doesn't follow politics closely is 80% of parents. 80% of parents don't care about politics. They don't follow it. They don't turn on CNN. They don't turn on Fox. They don't turn on MSNBC. They don't turn these things on.

Starting point is 00:58:20 Maybe they get the news as it gets a little bit closer to the election cycle, maybe a little bit. But they're watching a Netflix show at night. They're watching a series at night. They're watching something like that at night. You mean to tell me you're okay with kids in school reading an award-winning book for, you know, all boys on blue, which is banned by the way, go to the top, which is banned by how many schools? 29. 29 school districts. And you think it's okay's okay you know and she asked the question in what context is a dildo strap-on acceptable and she says let that be the decision of a parent what the hell are

Starting point is 00:58:54 you talking about what are you talking about by the way I'm curious I'd love I would love the survey of you you know, 100,000 democratic mothers who have kids of the ages of four to 12 years old and ask them, what do you think about what Joy Reid said? I would be so curious in what percentage of them actually would agree with Joy Reid. Why would I want, by the way, this is not even a conversation about the parents

Starting point is 00:59:24 that are like, well, you know, what's wrong if some people are born gay? That's their argument that they wanna make. Fine, go to that argument. But do you want them to be gay? There's a difference between somebody being, you know, you're thinking, you believe they were born gay. Okay, but do you want them to be gay?

Starting point is 00:59:40 Some people want their kids to be gay. I know they do. They dress them up. That's the problem, right? Some people want that case to be gay. I know they do. They dress them up. That's the problem, right? Some people want that to be the case. So why would you give them a book like this and be okay with this being out there? Logic is lost.

Starting point is 00:59:52 By the way, this is gonna catch up to these guys. It's going to. The one thing about content creation and you being on TV and saying what you're saying, there's gonna be a lot of stuff that's gonna catch up to you that you said five years ago, 10 years ago, 15, and you're gonna be like, did I really say that? What the hell?

Starting point is 01:00:10 What was that all about? One day people gonna sit there and say, no, there's no way in the world I would say that a strap on dildo is okay. What I said was that the parents decide, this is nonsense what people are talking about. And this is the part of America that's a little weird that majority of left-right center they all agree on these topics. This is weird. Stop imposing this. Go talk pro-life,

Starting point is 01:00:34 pro-choice, debate that. Go talk, you know, amount of budget for military debate that. Go talk healthcare, Obamacare debate that. But this doesn't make any sense when you're imposing something like this to me because as a parent I don't want to hear any of this stuff in front of my kids. Tom, you were going to share something you saw about the book. What were you going to point out? Yeah, I think people need to know the books that their kids are reading. And you can't just take word for it here on the description. All boys aren't blue. A memoir manifesto. Manifestos are declarations. And then I look at the last line of the description from the publisher. Johnson's emotionally frank style

Starting point is 01:01:13 of writing will appeal directly to young adults. If you're reading this summary here and you're not really informed, you could be mistaken into thinking that perhaps this is a book about trial and tribulation and that there's something good in it. And the second paragraph, both as a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer men of color. So that sounds like, oh, wait a minute, this is an engaging book. This is sure as hell as a primer, recall that grooming. And so you read this, you gotta be, and teachers pick.

Starting point is 01:01:49 Who, what teachers? And the award-winning, who would get the award from? So you have to be so careful in this life and you have to be aware. And I'm glad that there's a woman willing to go on TV, willing to go toe-to-toe with Joy Reid and to get attacked and everything, trying to get the message out that says,

Starting point is 01:02:07 this particular book and many books like it, boy parents, you better, why is it that we'll read, that informed parents will read the ingredients on a bag of potato chips, but won't take time to really look into what's really in the books our kids are reading? And Pat, even from the book publisher, look at this description at the bottom,

Starting point is 01:02:24 reading age 16 plus years old. So they're not recommending this for elementary school children. And look at the grade level, 10 to 12. That's all more to seniors. So why are kids even having access to it? And that's why it goes to the point. Great, great, great observation, Rob. Cause I was about to say, like that's, that's recommended. It's not saying that these younger kids aren't getting it. And it goes back to the point, Tom, what is the end game and goal? Because by the way, Joy Reed had all those papers that was a planned attack on that mother.

Starting point is 01:02:51 And it's to sexualize these little kids for futures to come because guess what? Then if somebody, some guy wants to get close to them, they're like, oh yeah, this is normal. Get it on the shelf, baby. Get it on the shelf. Yeah, this is why we always hear it why we always here. It's no longer education It's indoctrination exactly listen if you're a 17 year old kid you're 18 year old kid

Starting point is 01:03:09 You're senior junior in high school, you know You're grown up enough to do what you want to do at that point you can drive a car you could read a book Stay the hell away from the 10 year olds and six year old by the way, let me ask you question This guy George Johnson. Do you think he's straight married kids 100% gay? If it's his story? He's gay It's not this guy's. Oh, yeah, that's him. Oh, yeah, is that a turtle neck with a do right? Yeah, he's gay 100% turtleneck do rag. He's gay zoom in right there. Right. Can you zoom go like that? There's anything wrong with that video at the top not I'm right. All the way at the top. He's a queer African American, best known as the author of the memoir, manifesto.

Starting point is 01:03:50 All boys aren't blue. Okay. Did it say 16 plus? Yeah, it said 16. You know how they have that in the movies? PG 13 and Z 17. They should have the exact same thing. And by the way, 10 year old kid should not be reading the book. By the way ten-year-old kid should not be reading by the way got I I'm not bashing this guy like who knows maybe the stuff that he went through Confused them and made me I has nothing against him. He gets one if you want to read that book fine But why is there any access to somebody? That's you know six years old seven years old There's no explanation enjoy like the only reason they can't fire Joy, Joy Reed is because she checks all the boxes. They can't fire her. So by the way, you know, for the people that are listening, you're like, look, man, just stop with this woke stuff to just stop with this, you know, fear porn with

Starting point is 01:04:33 parent. Nothing is really going on. Like what's wrong with this? All boys are not blue or whatever. Okay. So tell me this is a little bit weird. Washington state Democrats proposed replacing the term sex offender to advance a person first approach. So which means is a bill, House Bill 2177, to replace the term sex offender with sex offence in the sex offender's policy. This change aims to shift towards a person first approach, which the bill allowing level three sex offenders, the most dangerous to serve on the board alongside six crime victims.

Starting point is 01:05:09 Let me read this to you again. Please. Which means a level three sex offenders, okay, allowing this bill allows level three sex offenders, the most dangerous ones, to serve on the board alongside sex crime victims, okay. State Representative Senator, the Democrat and former felon, to serve on the board alongside sex crime victims. Okay, state representationalist, as a Democrat and former felon,

Starting point is 01:05:29 supports the bill believing that sex offenders have invaluable information to share. SOPB Chair Brad Mary-Hugh also backs the proposal, welcome and the inclusion of voice that provide a reality check in public policy. Republican State Representative Dan Griffey opposes the measure questioning why the board should have a convicted sex offender as a member. The bill follows previous efforts in Washington to release sexually violent predators and place them in less restrictive

Starting point is 01:06:08 Alternative near child care facilities Tom This is like a show you show by the way again Do you read this and you say are these guys serious Tom? What are your thoughts on this? I? these legislatures in in In Washington state have just lost their frickin mind. There's no sense, there's no sense of logic in this. There's no sense of, you read this and you say, where's the logic? Okay, you say, okay, even though I disagree with them, where's he coming from

Starting point is 01:06:35 and what does he think is really gonna happen? You know, there are a lot of things. It's like the Treasury Department worked with counterfeiters. There's a whole movie, Catch Me If You Can, that talks about how the Treasury Department Frank Abengale. Yeah, took a guy who was a counterfeiter and a financial felon and he eventually consulted, you know, he got his life clean.

Starting point is 01:06:57 He got, he had to get clean. He had no way to be employed to do anything. And he told them, this is how these crimes are committed. This end, it was incredibly helpful and it creates banking security things. There's one thing to do that to take criminals who are demonstrated that they have been you know I don't want to say healed but they definitely they got their life together and stuff and they come back and say hey here's your leaks in the system where you know people like what I used

Starting point is 01:07:26 to do, where we can get access to your kids. That's helpful. Not on the board, serving on the board, and not in a less restrictive alternative near a childcare facility. Near a childcare facility. Are you kidding me? I don't understand it. I'm just trying to find the logic in this. And it's just I don't understand it. I'm just trying to find the logic in this and it's just state representative Tara Simmons, a Democrat and former felon. Hey look, there's hope for Trump to be elected, you know. It's the, so she's a former felon supporting the bill. So what I see here, I see just a lack of logic. You can use former criminals to help you find leaks and to make things safe and change in the future You can do that but putting them on the board and then giving them, you know actual access this to me is just lunacy

Starting point is 01:08:12 Adam yeah, I mean I you Took the words in my right out of my mouth I actually had the pleasure of meeting Frank Abagnale at a meeting a handful of years ago If you're not familiar with who this guy is Leonardo Di DiCaprio played him and Catch Me If You Can. And he told this story about basically running away as a teenager and check fraud and wire fraud and cash and checks and all this.

Starting point is 01:08:37 And he knew the ins and outs of what it was to do money laundering and check fraud and everything like that. And then Tom Hanks in the movie basically Catch Me If You can tried to catch him. And there was that whole cat and mouse game, but basically he ended up becoming an informant for the FBI. And we've seen this a million times with the mafia, people basically informing and, you know, we don't want to go down that path, understand like that. We've also seen people like former ISIS members that come out and basically inform level headed democracies.

Starting point is 01:09:09 This is what's going on over there. So that's, you know, if I can just try to spin this in a positive light, which is very hard to do in this situation. That's what I'd like to believe is happening here. Hey, here's how sickos think. Hey, here's us. How's weirdos are looking for? Because we saw the, the sound of freedom.

Starting point is 01:09:28 We know what's going on. So if we can utilize these sickos to help catch more sickos, great. But some of these stories are not adding up right here. And I think anytime that they would like to replace terms, to me, like updating terms like pedophile, they change it to minor attractive person. You're a pedophile. Stop trying to soften the language,

Starting point is 01:09:51 because when you soften the language, it doesn't make the act any less crazy. Like you're a pedophile. Because when I hear map, I'm like, oh, it's just a map. That's, no, that's cool. No, no, you're a pedophile, and you have to be separated from society I'm sick and tired of the language changing because that's that's the problem the culture changes the language

Starting point is 01:10:10 But the act the person is still there and they shouldn't be in the public Again, it all comes down to not hurting people's feelings despite the fact that they're freaking pedophiles I give a shit about you feel exactly you belong in jail. We just saw we did a story a two weeks ago that Fat people they're getting two free seats on a plane Because they're no longer obese. They're persons of size. Yeah, so they don't want to offend the fat people out there You may make them pay don't you worry about terms you're back to worry about feelings the point Adam made about feelings about 15 minutes ago, and he's absolutely right. You know, you're not a thief. You're a non-permission borrower. I mean, what are we gonna do?

Starting point is 01:10:47 Are we gonna take everything that we have because we have feelings, we don't like the way the term feels? Well, look, if you don't like the way, what do they teach you? You know, I've been part of, I'm gonna say this carefully. Do it.

Starting point is 01:11:02 I've been part of recovery sessions where I was invited to come support someone who is in recovery. And one of the first things they teach you is to not soften it. And at the beginning of these sessions, I sat in this kind of this back row and they all walk in, they stood up

Starting point is 01:11:17 and they stated their name and they say, I am an alcoholic. And then they sit down. And then one of the guys stood up and he said, I am an alcoholic. and I seriously have injured the relationships in my family. And he sat down, he apparently he's not supposed to or doesn't have to say the other part of it,

Starting point is 01:11:32 but he said it bluntly. Why? Because he wanted to accept, oh, responsibility and accountability for what he was. And he's there in a group to get encouragement to go forward. And if we turn this into feelings, oh, that feels bad, oh, that feels bad, then really what you're doing is you're just moving accountability

Starting point is 01:11:50 off of the person who has done things in society called criminals, whether it's a misdemeanor or a felon, you committed a crime, and you're softening it, and you're just taking the accountability out of society. Great point, Tom. So let's go to the next story. Goldman Schruffen sees four rate cuts, 2% inflation for 2024. He predicts the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates four times in 2024, starting in March. And that inflation will reach the central bank's 2% target. He also expects the European Central Bank and Bank of England

Starting point is 01:12:23 to follow suit. But the Bank of Japan to raise rates in April. He advises investors to look for opportunities in emerging markets such as Turkey and recommends Chinese stocks as a contrarian buy after the local benchmark hits pandemic lows. He believes that the first half of 2024 will be marked by choppy range bound markets as markets react to the timing and the pace of Fed rate cuts, even though risky assets are expected to perform well throughout the year. He also predicts that the Fed will modify its inflation target to a range of one and

Starting point is 01:12:57 a half to two and a half percent once the two percent target is achieved and the next move in U.S. yields will likely be upward time. So what we're hearing from Goldman Sachs is basically Schifrin and Schifrin, I don't say I like Joshua because I don't really know him but I've read a lot of his stuff and he tends to be a pretty level head and a pretty long long-range thinker and so through that lens I usually read what he's writing with some interest and what's interesting here is I also balance that what we're hearing from the Fed. Fed Board of Governors people have been saying and you may have heard this, well we think that rates may have to be higher longer and they're not

Starting point is 01:13:38 saying how many you know what I mean Pat but you've heard the phrase higher longer and what that means is that they're probably gonna go longer before they reduce it. And that's right in line and why he's interpreting this to say, hey, the feds said six rate cuts, and it goes back to like November, they said they foresaw six rate cuts in 2024. They haven't repeated that.

Starting point is 01:14:02 That hasn't been repeated a lot. They've been now going to higher longer. And I think what he's pointing out is that you can take a look at the Dow and although Main Street and Wall Street are not together, you're seeing an economy that is really trying to drive a little bit. We've got good news and bad news on consumer spending on not just the spending but how they're paying for it. And so, inflation is being a little stubborn right now. It's not at 2%.

Starting point is 01:14:31 It's down lower. Certain commodities like gasoline are lower, which is a break. Heating oil is a little lower right now, which is a bit of a break, although the Middle East could raise that up. And what he, I think, is pointing out is that, hey, point number one, I think rates are gonna be higher longer. Point number two, I only think there's gonna be four rate cuts next year, which means if you're dreaming about a 4.75% mortgage

Starting point is 01:14:53 next year, that mean this year, 24, uh-uh, not gonna happen. And- But it'll break six. Oh, I think, yeah, I think it'll break six. I think we'll see 5.75 at the end of the year. It's a whole other discussion I don't wanna dive into, but I'll just give you two headlines.

Starting point is 01:15:08 Right now the banks are keeping about a 3% profit on the Fed rate to the mortgage rate, and you can see that represented by the 10-year treasury. That's the way to look at it. They usually have that about one and a half to two, means the banks right now wanna make more profits on mortgages because they think they will be lower in the future, but they're not going to get back

Starting point is 01:15:28 down to like a real what I would call a consumer activity trigger rate, which would be like four, seven, five. Adam. Well, no, the one question that Vinny always asks is when's a good time to buy? I was just going to say that. So to all the people out there in the mortgage market, we see the articles out there from the Wall Street Journal that has never been a worse time to buy and the math just doesn't add up. So if you're in the market to buy a house, just pay attention to what's going

Starting point is 01:15:55 on there with the interest rates. You know, for all the, for all that we hear about politics and Trump and Biden and DeSantis and Nikki Haley and Gavin and Newsom low key, the most important person in America is Jerome Powell. I mean, this is the guy that makes unemployment tick and make interest rates tick and inflation and all this fun stuff. So pay attention to what's going on with this guy, Jerome Powell, but it's good news for the people who are looking to buy houses or maybe refinance their house that these interest rates potentially in 2024 are going to be coming down. You're a veteran. I'm a veteran.

Starting point is 01:16:25 Every veteran out there has a one time low, very low interest rate for a house. I think the money went up to what, I think 700. PBDA, you gotta utilize that one of these days, man. I would have used the free DMs. So my question is for you, for instance, put me and for all the vets out there, God bless you guys for your service.

Starting point is 01:16:44 Does it matter if you have that one time low interest rate to buy a house and that this doesn't affect us? You know what I mean? What do you mean? So like right now, cause that this rate, well, we, if I want to loan right now for a house because I'm a veteran, I get a one time, it's, I don't think it's a low interest rate. I think it's a low down payment. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we get a very low payment. No, no, no, no, no, no, just giving you a free. No, we get a very low veterans get a

Starting point is 01:17:07 Low interest rate. Is this for for one time first time VAs for a veteran? I know I know it's ridiculously low I think this is it. I don't think it's a set number. That's never gonna change Yeah, I think it's just a lower than what others would be paying Okay, if I'm not missing it on the interest rates above show the options approach and discounted, one point, one person only. I'm so okay. Yeah. So I think, I think even if you look at this chart here for 30 or fixed, yeah, you're looking at 6% you're getting 1% off. And this is a buy down. If you look, read the fine print, you're actually buying down the rate. And Bob, can you say if this is a first time, the first time, I'm not saying in general, I'm is this the first time the first time I'm not saying in general

Starting point is 01:17:45 I'm talking about the first time your first loan for I don't know I'm glad I'm really glad that we're doing a real estate mortgage intervention for Vinnie right now on air on camera This is working out. Well, let's look into this later Yeah, but don't buy a house right now wait for the rates to come down. I'm moving in with you and your cat Your cat. All right by now pay later holiday dead hangover has arrived as consumers wonder how they'll pay their bills. Many Americans turn to Buy Now, Pay Later. Kiki Anderson, one of, what a great name, Kiki Anderson, one such consumer used Klarna

Starting point is 01:18:16 and PayPal to make purchases resulting in $1,700 in debt, leading her to sell items to make payments. Why'd you buy it in the first place? Buying up a later surge, use it surge during holiday season, contributing to $16.6 billion to online spending with a 43% spike on Cyber Monday. However, concerns arise about consumers being buried under micro payments, the impact of buying up a later

Starting point is 01:18:40 and overall debt remains unclear due to limited disclosure from providers like Clarna, PayPal, Affirm. Tom, how bad is it based on the numbers you're seeing? Well, I went Adam's opinion as well, but it's pretty bad. What I'm reading was that they didn't put it in the CNBC story. They are 40% late payment rates on these, on the BNPL, 40% late payment, and that came out the first week of January, which means

Starting point is 01:19:09 from Black Friday through holiday spending, suddenly, because remember, these bills are due two weeks later. Two weeks later, you make a payment, two weeks later, you make a payment, two weeks later, you make a payment. They don't, they, these have a very short leash. Leash is a sensitive word this week. That's right. That's right. We have a good friend

Starting point is 01:19:27 in Las Vegas. I won't use that word in front of him, I promise. So it's 40% late payment rates on this. Why? And why did they use it? They use it because they ran the credit cards in this country all the way up to one trillion of total balances. So the consumer was looking for some more credit to go purchase and they used buy now pay later. They were already a little strapped and guess what? 40% of them are late and so they're calling it a debt hangover. It's not a debt hangover, it's a debt overextension. Adam, nice. Well, one thing, they forgot to add one line to this to the buy now pay later thing.

Starting point is 01:20:05 And then it's by now pay later, you're broke after that. Because if you don't have the money to pay for something now, if you think that you're going to somehow manifest the money two weeks later, that you don't have your in for a slippery slope and you're in for basically what happens when we go to people like, like, am Scott, you go for these payday loans. And next thing you know, you're paying 400% on your money. Short-term thinking will end up with long-term problems. You think that you can just start spending your way out of the holidays, buy some knife kits for the family and all of a sudden you're gonna have a money.

Starting point is 01:20:34 Just show up at your doorstep in January. It doesn't work that way. And can we just talk about the fictitious holidays that we're just making up at this point for people to spend money? I get it. You want to spend money on Christmas. Cool. You want to spend money on New Year's. I get it. Valentine's day Thanksgiving family, but they're just making up holidays for us to spend money on. Okay. It's Cyber Monday and it's black Thursday and it's what's the Tuesday one now. You know, have a party on Tuesday. There's small business Saturday. They're just making up days for us to spend money and they're encouraging us, you don't need money, you'll pay us back later with 400% interest that is.

Starting point is 01:21:15 So it's a disaster out there, as I always say, saving that money. You know, that's why, you know, I don't, you guys always ask, how come I don't participate in Cyber Mondays or Black Fridays? I'm waiting for like a Brown Thursday. You know, the video for, why can't we get something?

Starting point is 01:21:30 Yeah. Okay, give me a Brown Thursday. Brown Thursday, everybody. I'll give you a TV. I have the Sanctis map of San Francisco. It looks like every day is Brown Day. So, it's like, oh. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:21:43 That's kind of a different brown. Anyway, show out to Kiki Anderson learning the heart. Yeah, kind of a different brown anyway. She got to key in and we're sitting learning the heart. Yeah, exactly. Do you love me? Yeah, more single women are buying homes. Yes. Yahoo Finance, a report from Maxwell indicates that single women, uh, 22 per constitute 22% of mortgage

Starting point is 01:22:02 applications in 2023 with 35% these applications ages 25 to 34, and many earning less than $100,000 annual. The rise of single women in housing markets suggests a shift in demographic with millennials and Gen Z show an interest in home ownership. Many women are willing to relocate for more affordable housing options, emphasizing their commitment to build an equity. Factors such as increased female participation, labor force, and a growing number of households

Starting point is 01:22:29 led by women contribute to this trend. Each woman and long-term relationships are opting for solo home ownership, often because they earn more than their partners. By the way, more single women buying homes, not because more single women are buying homes, it's because there are more single women today than before because marriage is not a hot commodity today.

Starting point is 01:22:48 On the same story that we have here at the bottom, you hear this other one says, childless future, birth rate plunging as millennials decide against being parents, right? So this isn't just because single women are buying homes. They're not wanting to get married. Those numbers are higher today. They don't want to have kids. It's higher today. Let me read this study to you. Study by the University of Southampton and the Generation of Gender program found that less

Starting point is 01:23:16 than a fifth of millennials ages 26 to 35 are certain they want to become parents. The study reveals a correlation with declining birth rates as only 19 percent of younger millennials expressed a definitive desire to have children about 30 percent leaned towards probably wanting children. The desire of children among Generation Z ages 18 to 24 is also declining compared to previous generations. 15 percent of Gen Z respondents stated that they definitely do not want children, suggesting that the birth rate in UK may continue to decrease. The study also highlights that the high cost of childcare and parents typically spending an average of $711 per month on child care. For lower income household, childcare expenses can account 20 to 30% of their income.

Starting point is 01:24:02 So one, single woman buying homes because they don't wanna get married and more people, more younger generation don't wanna have kids. Tom, what do you see here with these numbers? Well, first of all, if you're a single woman with a home and you're looking for a patriotic stable husband, this morning I signed agreement, I'm representing Vinny.

Starting point is 01:24:21 You can find him on Manneke and for $25, you could ask a question and begin an interview process that could end in a fruitful relationship. Again, women with homes, please find Vinny on Menec. What I think here, I think it's a little bit of a BS headline, I think you called it there because there's more, there are more women that are single and not married than now. And what has happened now is we've become, we've kind of devalued the long-term relationship is what we've

Starting point is 01:24:49 done. And when you devalue the long-term relationship, people are getting married. And when you, and when they see all the issues and the expense of having kids, some people make a rational, what they think is, they don't realize the joy you can have having kids and what you're actually bringing to society. Yes kids are expensive but you know what you know generational creation actually makes a better stronger society and I think they see all the expense and they see all of the they're in this mindset of like short-term hookup culture and you have people that don't value long-term relationships and think of kids as just a pure expense, and then you're screaming in their ear that, you know,

Starting point is 01:25:32 that, you know, you should do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be and do all this. None of that speaks to, hey, what about leading and serving and giving yourself to other human beings and a family? Listen, just manek me, ladies single, let's have a kid, it's crunch time. With the house. With the house.

Starting point is 01:25:48 I say this all the time. If there's anybody I want commenting on modern day hookup culture, it's Tom Ellsworth. The biz doc. Nobody understands what it's like to be out in these streets and these clubs and these bars like Tom. And that's why I love about you, Tom. So, PPD, you okay, man? Good? I

Starting point is 01:26:06 mean, the truth hurts here, guys, but Tom, great breakdown. But Tom, to be genuine, that's the kind of guy you actually probably want to mirror your life around because he's actually a grown up man with kids, Vinny. I pray for that for yourself and for you too. For me as well. But the story, it seems heartworm warming on the surface. Um, single women are buying homes. That's great. But let me tell you what happens, ladies. You're going to be 35 years old. You move into your new house. You're going to be all set up. You're going to be going on. And then you're going to set up all the stuff around the house. You got to put stuff together. You're going to need some nails. You're going to need some

Starting point is 01:26:42 hammers. You're going to need some screwdrivers. And there's going to be no dude there to help you out. So I don't think that's the type of lifestyle you want. If you want that Chelsea handler lifestyle, wake up every day. You're 48 years old. You got no kids. You got 17 dildos and you're just going to town on yourself with a glass of percassettes and some vodka. Sign up for the Chelsea handler mortgage. It's only 7% right now. And it's going to last you the rest of your life of miserableness. So the breakdown of traditional families, the breakdown of traditional values is basically what we're seeing seep into America and for the people out there that's like,

Starting point is 01:27:22 what do you mean? Uh, man, you and Vinnie you're in your forties and you're single. Well, a news flash women can't have kids after 40 for the most part. Al Pacino just had a kid when he's fricking 82. The math don't add up. It's a little bit different. So, you know, slide into Vinnie's Menec DM slide into my Menec DM gentlemen, if you need some coaching with that, but there's no way that, that this, this is going to be a happy ending for a lot of these women that move into their houses, but Vinnie, but maybe that we can reverse the roles. So if you wake, if you, if you're with, you move in with this girl and you guys break up, you can sue her and

Starting point is 01:27:59 take half her shit. I love that. Like happens to 98% of men when they go through a divorce. So try that out. How old is Al Pacino? 83. You think when he orgasms, he goes, who ah, well at that age it's like who ah. Yeah, but it's, it's, I think that every, I'm just getting warmed up. I think that, and then this is the PBD credit. Every single one of us needs to transition at one point to being selfish to selfless. And women have to make that move quicker than men. Men can hold out a little bit longer, but I say the same thing to my buddies were 40 and somewhere almost approaching 50 guys, you can't be out here still, you know, all up in the club. But there's nothing sadder

Starting point is 01:28:40 than when I see a 44 year old woman still out in the club. And I knew her from high school. I'm like, just go home. Get out of here. Get out of here. All right. A couple of stories left and I will wrap up Biden. DOJ finally admits Hunter Biden's laptop is real. And this is a funny. Yeah, it is funny, but I'm listening to progress guys. We're making progress. The justice department has officially confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop. A development that comes after years of suppressing disinformation. The OJ's acknowledgement is based on the laptop being left at a computer store. Its contents match in what investigators obtained via search warrant at Hunter's iCloud. The laptop from

Starting point is 01:29:22 Health Story initially reported by the New York Post faced significant denial and discrediting by the media with the CNN the Washington Post New York Times Eventually acknowledging its authenticity in an interview with the White House and Means Committee IRS supervisory criminal investigative agent Gary shapely a whistleblower revealed that FBI Extensively analyzed the laptop and federal prosecutors expressed confidence that it was indeed a Harden-Biden's laptop that had not been manipulated shapely from it was a reliable evidence. Tom. So, I look, this is one, let's connect the dots.

Starting point is 01:29:57 The media has been unleashed in the last six months to write stories that were critical of Joe Biden. His capabilities, his mental acuity, we've seen it. And these are top tier front line mainstream media writing stories. Check, Obama attempts to talk to Biden right before Christmas to strategize about, you gotta get serious about this.

Starting point is 01:30:19 You should get my boy, David Polliff involved. You should get some folks in here from my campaign to help you out. Apparently Biden's's people said, nope, don't want to do that. Obama circled back again as the story goes and said, look, you got people at the White House and you got people 100 miles away in Virginia that are trying to run this campaign. You're disconnected. Apparently Biden said, thank you, Barack, we got this. And what did Obama do? Leaked it to the media. The mainstream media had the same article, the same story in unison. What does that have to do with the laptop?

Starting point is 01:30:51 Well, guess what? The next data point comes out. The DOJ, this is Biden, they call it Biden's DOJ, but it's basically the DOJ that's sort of divorcing itself from Biden and saying, yeah, you know, all that stuff. Yeah, it was a reliable evidence. And it was pictures, young girl, picture of him snorting and a couple of emails where he actually referenced getting his dad, you know, the president involved and getting kickbacks from foreign governments for fake consulting with energy companies. Yeah, it was real. Yeah, well, guess what? This is a, this is the perfect. And again, you have to tip your hat to the left, the Democrats, these cats play to win and they have a great playbook. Okay. They have not only have the F with this story, they have the FBI go there to Twitter, shut down every single story.

Starting point is 01:31:39 Okay. And then four years later, this is what they want. They wanted to drag it on so long that now when we hear it, we're like, we're over it. Everybody's like, ah, who cares? No, it's not that we're over it. It's what's next. Follow the, follow the breadcrumbs. Follow the breadcrumbs. What I'm saying is though, when this came out,

Starting point is 01:31:52 do you know when this would have been hot? Which would have changed voters ideas on who to vote for? Was during the election. So what I'm saying is right now, even right now while you read that, I went, are we still talking about it? Like it's, I'm personally tired of it. I know it's real.

Starting point is 01:32:06 I know what he did on it. I know about the drugs. I know about the cocaine and the underage. Look at the- Follow the breadcrumbs. Vinny, you're right. Rob, what is that story? You're right.

Starting point is 01:32:14 The article came out the 51 or 58. Can you zoom out so I can see who the logo is at the top? This is from Politico. This is from Politico saying that it's so fun. And this is from October 19th of 2020 when 50 former senior intelligence officials signed a letter to a election correct that the hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Brilliant. Did you feel like you understand what they do senior by the way senior by the way heads the top. I didn't realize that there was an

Starting point is 01:32:43 an argument over whether the laptop actually exists. What do you mean? They said, hear me out. It's fake. I want it. I thought that I thought the argument was what's in the laptop. So basically existence when of a laptop, we had plural. Okay. But we had, what's his name? John Paul Mack Isaac. Yeah. The half blind guy that was here. He said I touched it. I felt it. I can't see half the shit, but I have it. By the way, his house got swatted the other day

Starting point is 01:33:11 by the Delaware PD, this friend right here. He has those crazy eyes where he can see half the world at the same time. Now watch this. He's blind Vinny. No he's not. He wasn't blind. He was looking at Tom and Pat. No, no, he's blind. When you see the word laptop, substitute it in your mind election deception tool.

Starting point is 01:33:29 And so in 2020, the laptop was an election deception tool two weeks before so that they could basically manipulate the election toward Biden against Trump. Now they're using the election deception tool to prepare for the movement of Biden aside. Adam, don't start yelling, I'm going there again. And now the question is, what do you do with it? This basically all but guarantees you need to pardon Hunter. And it also means if you're pardoning Hunter and you have all the stuff in there that was very incriminatory about Biden and the family members actually taking the money. How do you pardon Biden? If you lose the election you can't pardon Biden. If Gavin Newsom wins the election and the deal is pardon him on the first day, damn well you better

Starting point is 01:34:19 win that election, right? Of course. How do you pardon Biden? That's a good, that's a great point. I believe that not only do you have to say You know at the convention, there'll be some guys back backstage who throw a bunch of bags down the stairs Okay. Oh my gosh. Did you hear that? Biden has fallen downstairs. We need a new candidate So they're gonna architect something at the convention, right? He slipped and fell in the shower, whatever it is, or for the good of the company, for the good of country, I've decided to step aside and I will allow someone else to be here. However they architect that, and I think it's happening at the convention, now the question is how do you pardon Biden? I think he has to resign and you got to get Kamala to do it for one day. But then my question would be if I was Kamala Harris, that's got a big old price tag on it. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Starting point is 01:35:13 So you're pushing me aside. I'm out. I'm not going to run. She's got an ego. She wants to run and you're going to set aside for one day and you want me to pardon him for one day. So I get to be the first female president for one day and I'm gonna pardon him. He says, you gotta put a couple more zeros on that. So my question is, and all this, follow the breadcrumbs. It is steadily leading to Biden is out and it's very steadily leading to that. Just look at the breadcrumbs that are in plain sight that are being leaked by the left. And can pardon his family but he can't pardon himself. They basically reminded Donald Trump that you can't pardon yourself. Remember how loud they yelled? You can't pardon yourself on the last day out of here. You can't do that. Well how do you

Starting point is 01:35:55 pardon Biden? Because now he's incriminated in this. When you say the laptop's real then you say kickbacks from foreign governments are real and so how do you pardon yourself? He's gotta step aside for one day. Tom, I'm gonna ask you the question I ask Vinny all the time. You wanna bet? I don't think, look, everyone has this speculation that Michelle Obama's coming to rescue this,

Starting point is 01:36:17 that Kamala Harris is gonna be president for a day. It's becoming clearer and clearer and clearer. It's Trump versus Biden. Whether you like it or not the the Election nobody in the country wants to see I don't but it's happening. I do not think at all that Joe Biden How much you want to bet? Okay? I'm not saying that I'm advocating for Joe Biden But we're all coming up with these Gavin Newsom conspiracy theories what I'm saying and all of a sudden Michelle Obama's gonna Take whip her dick out what and become the president. I'm just saying brother it's

Starting point is 01:36:48 clearly but it's the question. It's Biden versus Trump. So you think like you think in a year on a debate stage Donald Trump with Joe Biden is going to happen. Yeah. Are you absolutely out of your mind besides the fact I don't think he's gonna physically be that talk is cheap. your money where your mouth is hold on one second. I'm not saying I'm looking forward to it. I'm saying that is what is far more likely to happen. Pull up the presidential odds right now. But just look at the numbers guys. This guy thinks that she's gonna drop out of the race and president is gonna honestly he's gonna do all this nonsense. I want to ask him Rob and just follow the odds

Starting point is 01:37:25 Three do you three think Joe? It's gonna. What is it right here? I didn't against him. I'm just curious Do you think by the way look at where Michelle has come up? It's still 12 to one. It doesn't matter. That's a lot different from one to one Yeah, but by the way Michelle wasn't even in the top 30 six months ago fyi Adam numbers guy She was all the way at the freaking bottom with Oprah. Look at where her ass is right now, right behind your boy and we're listening to you. Stop talking about it and be about it. Put your money where your mouth is. I'm your friend. Then your talk is cheap. Oh, you're my friend. You don't want to take my

Starting point is 01:37:56 money. I'll gladly take your money. I love to ask you one question. I'm there's no emotion here. I'm just saying, look at the numbers. Do you think it's going to be? Just do the numbers. Do you think it's gonna be by just no betting? Do you think it's gonna be Joe Biden? Adam got some when Biden's you just asked him a question. Hold on. Hold on when I asked you to and you too Rob Just do you think it's gonna be Joe Biden versus Trump when it comes down to it? I think here's here's how I processed that if If no one's ever gotten reelected being in the 30s. Okay, and Democrats are not

Starting point is 01:38:28 You know gonna sit there and just be like yeah, listen, let's take this L. I don't think that's the kind of a party They are I don't think they're gonna just take an L and say you guys You know like this morning Josh Shalom was being interviewed not this morning day after day lost the quarterback Yeah, the quarterback from Buffalo Bill's so you know, how's it feel now that it's real? At least I'm alive. At least I have another day, right? Which you're kind of trying to, you know, play it out and you heard Yanis when he lost and the guy asked the question, do you see the season has a failure and Yanis loses? Pissed off, yeah. It gives an answer. I don't think Dems are going to let an easy victory for Trump, especially Trump, okay? Think about the Republicans that I've won in the past and how much they hated them. Bush was the

Starting point is 01:39:10 anti-Christ, right? You go to senior, you go to Reagan, they really hated, you know, some of these guys. The level of hate they got for Trump, it's nowhere near to any of the candidates they've ever had. Okay. So do I think they're gonna let Biden be the candidate? It's one of the worst decisions they will ever make if they do that. One of the worst decisions they'll ever make. So for me to sit there and take his argument and say, I'm telling you this is what's gonna happen, I understand his logic because what month are we January? We got what, 10 months left? Less than 10 months left?

Starting point is 01:39:46 Nine and a half months left? I get what he's saying, but also at the same time, man, I don't know why I'm convinced, I've said this, the hardest part they're gonna have is Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris, how do you get her to set aside? You have to give her something for her to set aside without complaining, bitching and whining. And you can't replace her with a white guy. Trump's going to run with that. Republicans are going to run with that. They put another woman in the back of

Starting point is 01:40:14 the bus. So all the progress Democrats were talking about 60 years of wasted, you know, boom, out the window, right? Kamala, go send the back of the bus. The first thing you'll see is a picture, a meme with Kamala Harris in the back of the bus. The first thing you'll see is a picture, a meme, with Kamala Harris in the back of the bus. And you know who's gonna post that picture? Donald Trump Jr. and Donald Trump are gonna post it. And then everybody else from the mega camp is gonna share that, cause it's gonna be funny. To share it's gonna make sense.

Starting point is 01:40:36 So no, I think the argument with Kamala is if they lead with Michelle as president and they lead with Newsom as VP. It's a phenomenal forgiveness of Kamala sitting down and saying, okay, that makes sense. I think that's the only way where the Democratic vote is not gonna do that. But the right is still gonna be able to say,

Starting point is 01:40:58 no, you still sat down to VP and replace her with Newsom. So maybe it's gonna be Newsom the lead and Michelle VP. And the reason why Michelle wants to be VPom the lead and Michelle VP. And the reason why Michelle wants to be VP is because she does not want any of the job or nothing to do. She's a great promoter. She'll go around talking about how amazing Gavin Newsom is and how much he's done for the States and how great of a thing. That's the card they're going to play. But if they just go with Joe, Adam, my biggest challenge is if they just go with Joe, out of my biggest challenges, if they just go with Joe, you're losing nine out of 10 times on many of these polls. So why would they do that? I don't

Starting point is 01:41:33 see them just taking an L and saying this is a lost cause. I fully agree with your perspective right here. And this political jockeying, every, every angle you turn, all right, if Joe doesn't go, then we're going to have Kamala run, but we don't want Kamala, but all right, so we're going to put Michelle there and then it's going to be Michelle and then Kamala, but then there's two black women running for president. That's not going to happen. Oh my God, that's never had, no woman's been elected. Okay. So then we're going to have Gavin Newsom come in and he's going to be our savior, but everyone knows that Gavin Newsom is like all these jockeying. I just look at the facts in front of my face. They're, they are looking at a, they're running into a buzz saw with Trump and they're just having seen

Starting point is 01:42:16 our old Joe Biden at the front of the bus and they're hoping and they're praying and they're wishing that, all right, America, we're gonna do it again and we're just gonna convince everybody that Trump is a threat to democracy and he's racist and they're gonna try to do that and it's likely to fail, but he's the guy who won. The only reason he won in 2020, Adam, is because, by the way, COVID, he's the bag, I don't care if Jesus Christ was it, but that and suppressing stories with the FBI. I agree with you. Hold on. So to think right now with this four year track record, which is keeps getting worse,

Starting point is 01:42:50 that they're going to both walk in and Biden has any chance you're going to throw. I'm not saying he has a chance. I'm saying he's going to be running. Charlemagne the God says Biden has never been a good candidate was elected due to unfortunate events. Charlemagne asserted that Biden's dismal polling is due to how he's never been a good candidate was elected due to unfortunate events. Charlemagne asserted that Biden's dismal polling is due to how he's never been a good candidate and was elected for, you know, a series of unfortunate events. For example, like Charlemagne expresses concerns about Biden's messaging and his ability to inspire voters saying their messaging sucks, even though they have accomplished some good things while they've been in a White House.

Starting point is 01:43:22 Nobody knows that nobody wants party. Nobody knows that. Nobody wants party. Nobody want to party with Joe Biden. He's just not inspiring in any way, shape or form. Maybe he needs to find a little bit of that Obama Bill Clinton energy to inspire. He's not going to find it. Yeah, the main importance of presidential candidates addressing issues related to upwardly mobility saying, how can you put money in people's pockets because that's, you know, gives people a sense of security. And that is what the candidates should be focusing on. If all of a sudden the Dems did flip in August and they put a Newsom, uh,

Starting point is 01:43:55 Michelle combination, do you know what mainstream media would do with that? CNN, what Jimmy Fallon Colbert all these podcasts the Oprah Winfrey the NBA LeBron the yet it do you know what Taylor Swift do you know what these guys would be doing it would be bonkers by the way if it is Michelle and Newsom it's gonna be a dogfight if it is Michelle and Newsom, it's going to be a dog fight. If it is Michelle and Newsom, it's going to be a dog fight. And in that, okay, let me ask this question. The little chance that you don't think it's going to be Biden, what's your chance? 1%? 5%? No, it's higher than that. Like, I'm in 0% defending Joe Biden as a good candidate.

Starting point is 01:44:42 I think he's a freaking disaster, but I think they're ready to for the disaster. What do you think is a percentage of it being somebody else than him? 10%. Okay, that's 10%. Of the 10% that you believe, what are the chances that the new president VP candidate, one of them is gonna be a female?

Starting point is 01:45:00 Oh, yeah, very, very, very, very high, 99%. Okay, what are the chances one of the two is going to be black? Yeah. Higher than the 99%. Yeah. Then who's left? Yeah, that's the stack of my, you got Kamala, you got Michelle. Okay. Perfect. So now we have Michelle and who's a better option, Michelle or Kamala? It's not even close. It's not even close. So if it's a president that they replace Obama, who would that person be? That's at the top so you got Newsom some people floated with the name Mark Cuban

Starting point is 01:45:30 That's why Mark sold his team and da da da da da and okay, so say so say it is a Newsom and a Michelle okay On the Trump side how important is it for Trump to choose a VP that's a female? Somewhat important, not overly important. Okay, give me the percentage. In terms of importance? The percentage chances of Trump choosing a female as a VP? 30 percent.

Starting point is 01:45:56 60 percent. Oh, you're putting that high. I put 30. I say more than, better than average. Tom, what are you at with Tom's VP being a female? I think it's a 25 percent chance that he will but it's a 75% chance that he should oh Interesting answer. Okay fair. Then if that's the case who are the candidates the phonic female Tulsi female, right? Lake

Starting point is 01:46:17 Maybe carry like both both very capable girl up in Tulsi gather like wait. yeah, my challenge is, I think my challenge with choosing a VP is somebody that's very much like you. Okay, if you choose a VP that's like you. Yeah, Christina from South Dakota, right? It's too much like you. If it's like you, then there has to be an element

Starting point is 01:46:39 of that person being different than you to be able to compete. But if it is a noose onome Michelle and it's a Trump whoever, oh my gosh, every day is gonna be a fight. Yep. Every day from August, September, October, November, that three months, every single, it's not even three months, it's two and a half months.

Starting point is 01:47:02 Those two and a half months, every single day is going to be a fight. I'm with you 100% and I'm not trying to argue with Adam and Vinny on the previous point. I'm just pointing out that when the Department of Effing Justice validates the laptop, it's basically you're validating demonstratively impeachable evidence. So let's say they rigged the event, the election and Biden wins the, the anger that will be on the Republican side and they will take this thing and they will shove it up his ass and they will impeach him. That's how big, but that's under the assumption that there's something there that is incriminating Joe Biden. There's, there's a lot of stuff to incriminate Hunter. No doubt that guy's dude Yeah, but the first class

Starting point is 01:47:48 They have not been able to make anything stick well they can't because he runs the department started hearings there there there are four different groups four different groups Adam that have started that have all of the impeachment structures in place four groups of congressmen that are ready to start hearings, but they haven't. And the answer is why, and what are they doing? It has to do with the election, it has to do with distraction, and it has to do that I don't think they need, they think they need, they have to.

Starting point is 01:48:15 We know where the impeachment hearings are going, nowhere. My point simply is- The same thing that happened with Trump, if you hold the Senate, if you hold the House, nothing happens. Yes or no, yes or no, I'm going to shut up, but yes or no. Does it change things when the Department of Justice validates the contents of the laptop? Of course it does. Thank you.

Starting point is 01:48:30 They have to admit it. But then it was just really fast. And then you have to go down the what now path, not speculating, not conspiracy, but it leads to where it leads me is Joe Biden is done. That's where it leads me. And it just a matter, I could speculate all day long how you know what I think. I think it'll be done at the convention. But I'm with Pat they I don't think they have any choice I don't think they're gonna take the L and I think they're gonna put things up and it is going to be one of the most important and

Starting point is 01:48:56 crazy 60 days in American history between August 21st and November just to be clear Do I think they should have made this change a year ago? Yes. Do I think that Biden is going to be running into a Trump buzz saw where people are like, yeah, we're gonna give Trump another shot, 100%. Do I also think they're gonna double down and go down with the ship? Yes. No. You can't do that. Because I... No, I that last okay where are you where are you at with the chance of all of those things you said the last one

Starting point is 01:49:30 that they're just gonna keep running. The one thing that you guys have to just keep in mind is that it's not just hey switch the candidates it's all the dirty work behind the scenes the grassroots the campaign the getting them on the ballots the infrastructure the DNC there's so much stuff behind the scenes, the grassroots, the campaign, the getting them on the ballots, the infrastructure, the DNC. There's so much stuff behind the scenes that has to happen that it's just not just like, I buy Biden, you're out, Gavin, you're in Michelle, you're in. There's so much stuff going on behind the scenes. And we'd be hearing stories coming from the DNC. We'd be hearing stories coming from the call coming inside the house saying, oh yeah, they're already setting stuff up, bro, they're already happening. None of those stories are coming out. Listen, let's just assume, Adam, that they're not, they don't

Starting point is 01:50:12 have to announce nothing because we know that these cats are disgustingly dirty tricksters. The left is, they'll stop at nothing to win and keep that power, border, everything like that. Who knows, even if they were going to have an election, let's say God forbid there's a power outage with all the leave the world behind speaking of the Obamas, but let's go back to Charlemagne the God. Mr., we know that he's never been a good candidate talking about Biden. What are you talking about, Charlemagne? You were kissing his ass on your podcast and he, a white guy in front of you said, if you

Starting point is 01:50:42 have a problem deciding whether you're from me or Trump, then you ain't black and you didn't say shit. Okay, so I don't play that bullshit. Now all of a sudden everybody's coming back to the, oh no, we never fought. Yes you did, bro, you were kissing his ass. Number one, number two, Adam, great point about Michelle and the voting block for if Michelle runs. And that was a great point on your show

Starting point is 01:51:03 when we were asking, you asked the panel, and they were all girls, but a couple of them were African-American girls, and that was a great point on your show, when we were asking, you asked the panel, and they were all girls, but a couple of them were African American girls, and you're like, who's the best president ever? What did they say? Every single black person went, well, I have to check the box and Barack Obama, what did they do? Well, I don't know, but I just, I have to vote for him because why? No qualifications, no nothing.

Starting point is 01:51:24 What makes Michelle Obama? I mean I guarantee you it'd be a it'd be a fight what makes her a good candidate what because she was the wife of That's why I'm like what does she ever fucking know? Well, guess what though if next thing you know, we're voting for a Melania Trump next time around what is happening? Well, that's my plan. I'm ready for this. They're gonna go What is happening right now? But that's my plan. I'm ready for this. They're gonna go demon devil, Satan, Hitler, orange guys coming back or Michelle Obama.

Starting point is 01:51:49 That's the safe, cool, you know, America just, you know, they want to get coddled and they want to be nice even though they're gonna get screwed in the ass. I am not voting for a Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris ticket and I doubt most Americans would. The question though, how loyal to your party if you are a... I'm a registered independent. I'm a Americans would. Okay, the question though, how loyal to your party? If you are a Democrat. I'm a registered independent. I'm a registered independent. I try. Would you sit it out or would you vote for Trump or Michelle,

Starting point is 01:52:12 if it came down to those two votes? I would not vote for Michelle Obama. So would you vote for Trump? Yeah. I love you. Let's go, Adam. By the way. That's America right there, baby.

Starting point is 01:52:21 Yeah, and when you're saying, when you're saying, by the way, this was a monumental moment hearing this guy. I love it. You would vote for Trump. And that's a great thing. I think a lot of people are basically waking up. I love you. I think he's right.

Starting point is 01:52:33 By the way, you remember this, Vinny, one thing, one thing you never do in a world of competition and there's no game, no competitive sport that's more deceptive and dark and manipulative than this game. So what does this mean? If there's any game that there's competition never underestimate opponent and this one is the most deceptive one, you definitely cannot underestimate who these people are. Michelle Obama, I know you're like, wow, who is she? What has she done in her life? Okay, she went to a great school, she went to Princeton and she graduated in like, wow, who is she? What has she done in her life? Okay, this, this, she went to a great school. She went to Princeton and she graduated in what, 1981, graduating cum laude, okay?

Starting point is 01:53:11 In 85 with a 99 page senior thesis title, Princeton's educated blacks and black community. I mean, this is like a fully qualified person for this. She majored in sociology, min in African American studies. Okay. Get a double major in DEI. Yeah. I mean, you know, that's a whole different story. Then she continues and gets her law license. Okay. And she actually when they were running, I don't know why I remember this, she was making very good income out of the tax, I remember that, I thought she was making 150K a year.

Starting point is 01:53:49 In 2006, he ran two years later, when they did their annual salary, couples tax returns in 2006, her salary in 2006 was $273,000 a year, okay? And he was making 157. She was making $120,000 more per year than him, which many would say she's more qualified to run than he is, okay?

Starting point is 01:54:19 So this is not somebody that, and on top of that, very well-spoken, incredible campaigner. When she would go up there and do what she did with the speeches and all that, she got the votes. You cannot underestimate the power of Michelle Obama in the game she's gonna bring. And the average person will, Pat, like everything that you wrote,

Starting point is 01:54:40 the average person in here, they don't know that, it's just Michelle Obama because as we're learning right now, Biden is not making a single decision. So it's, because you know what they're saying is running the White House right now Barack Obama. Okay, let's be honest. But and he even said it, he said it in an interview and he goes, listen, if there was some type of way that I could, you know, get on the earpiece and and he admits what he's doing, He's in charge, Hillary's in charge, a couple of other big names because when Joe Biden says and I quote, I can't say anything because they said that I can't. That's the day. Everybody's always

Starting point is 01:55:15 wondering who's the day. Michelle, I agree with you 100%. I'm not underestimating her. But what I'm what I'm saying is nobody knows about any of those qualifications. She's the best pick because she's what America would be like I don't know what do you mean by the way her books sold nearly 20 million copies again? I understand what you're saying I'm just saying she is formidable and If you get Michelle guess who you get automatically with Michelle baron of course and then if you get Newsom You know who else do you get with Newsom you get all the people that are the establishment side back in the family Palosio Listen Newsome Michelle. I

Starting point is 01:55:50 Guarantee you on the inside inside inside inside inside of Trump's camp They know like if I'm if I'm playing like you know how you're playing You know you're going you're going through playoffs and like okay first round We're gonna take these guys that we're gonna win 4-2. Okay, let's just try to sweep these guys, but it's probably gonna be four to two and I'm talking NBA Football, there's luck involved basketball. There's not a lot of luck involved the best team typically in In the seven game seven games. So typically the best team in basketball Typically wins not all the time, but typically with and football. That's not the case any given Sunday. Oh Mary. Yeah, you never know so I

Starting point is 01:56:24 Guarantee on the inside they have to look at the matchups So while they're picking and choosing they have to this is why I don't think it's good to choose the VP too early I think let's wait for the matchups. Let's do the matchups are hang tight. Okay? You would much rather have them Pick their candidates than yours. Yeah, And someone on the inside is going to leak information on the left. They're going to, but it's going to happen when they leak it. And when that leak happens, then you have to pivot and have the right team on this. Let me just give one perspective. Cause you know, just how you just get laid out how Trump

Starting point is 01:56:59 and his team are basically strategizing what's going to happen. So is the DNC. And what they're basically saying to Biden is like, your only chance is against Trump because if somehow DeSantis, who just dropped out is in this race, or even if it's Nikki Haley, all the polling says that they would wipe your ass off the map because they're young, they're vibrant. Your only chance is to go after Mr. Anti-Democracy, January 6th, Donald Trump. That's why the election is even remotely close at this point. So the DNC is basically saying, the only way that we're parading or propping up Joe Biden is against Trump. Now I still think based on polling, at least in the battleground states, Trump is likely to win. He's the favorite at this point. But they're more excited about Trump than a Nikki Haley

Starting point is 01:57:47 or a DeSantis. Yeah, in the middle of your kerfuffle here. Kerfuffle, I love that. You guys were saying what stories are coming out? What stories are coming out? This story isn't coming out. There's no story about who's gonna be it. It's completely suppressed and it's completely quiet

Starting point is 01:58:01 and it's completely behind closed doors. You all have to do is look at what stories are coming out. Yeah. And what's coming out? Obama, the leaks that Obama talked to him, the laptop things, just look at the stories that are coming out in unison, not from secondary sources, not from the Hill, not from Politico, not from Fox, but from the mainstream media. Look at those stories and just connect those dots. Well guess what? And here's my thing. If you like crime, what and here's my thing if you like crime if you really love inflation if you love an open

Starting point is 01:58:29 border and people shitting and pissing outside your door if you like a couple year in the front porch yeah and if you want you love homeless in New York voting no keep voting for Democrats because that's that's what they want it won't stop with Michelle it definitely won't stop with Gavin Newsom because he has a shitty track record. That's what you vote for. But people like you said circling back,

Starting point is 01:58:48 they go off emotion. They'll be like, oh, it's Michelle Obama. What could go wrong? Nothing is gonna change, as Barack says. So, but Nick, me if you guys wanna talk about it. All right, gang, great podcast today. We will not be having a podcast tomorrow nor Thursday, but I do believe we make it back on our flight to be able to do something Friday

Starting point is 01:59:08 afternoon. If I'm not mistaken, do we have something Friday afternoon? Rob? We do. 2 to 4 p.m. right now. 2 to 4 p.m. Friday afternoon. Okay, Gank. Have a great day. We'll see you guys on Friday. Take care. Bye-bye.
