Okay, we are officially live with episode number 36 of the podcast. Obviously last night was a very, very, yesterday period was a very eventful, strange day. So we got a lot of things to cover. I know you got strong opinions. I know you got some opinions of what's going on. I know some is going to be that people expect. I know some it's going to be surprising to some people. So I'm glad you guys are joining us again. Lots of topics here before I kind of get right into it. Let me just kind of

tell you what topics we got to cover. Obviously yesterday, the Capitol Hill attack, the woman getting shot and killed. Tim Cook got a his salary that he just got will cover that as well. Jack, come on missing. Some new reports are coming in saying he's laying low. There's some opinions on that. Amazon buys 11 jets. Apples modifying their executive bonus plan based on environmental values. No way right now 50% of all the vehicles sold in 2020 believe it or not were all electric. And then electoral college came out. Trump had some comments to say about it. Twitter suspended Trump's account. I cannot believe Twitter suspends a president's account for 12 hours. Facebook follows suit.

Pence breaks apart with Trump. Disagreting with him and obviously the sweep of Democrats taken over Georgia and a bunch of other things. So having said that, what are you thinking? How are you feeling right now? What's on your mind right now, Adam? There's so much going on. I mean, what are you thinking? How are you feeling right now? Just what's on your mind right now, Adam? There's so much going on. I mean, how are you feeling?

You woke up today after everything you saw you. You know, I walked in kind of this morning with a swaggy, right? You thought you said I had a glow going on. Yeah, a glow in. It wasn't the tan from South Beach. You know, I got to give a credit to Paul Strinova here, our production coordinator,

Guru, snuck up on him, and we debate all the time. But you might think that yesterday was, you know, I'm so excited. We Democrats won, George, on Joe Biden is now the president, is he not? But yes, there was a sad day, man. Yesterday, I don't think is anybody that is happy with what happened yesterday. I think yesterday was probably one of the probably the darkest, saddest day of the Trump presidency. You know, the people say Charlottesville or the, you know, the March on Charlottesville, they say that that

sort of has been the darkest day. Maybe some stuff with the Puerto, Hurricane in Puerto Rico where he was co-being some paper towels out to the people, but yes, she was just sad, man. What a dark, dark, sad day. What a horrible way to go out for Trump. I really thought that he would go out a little more classy, but there was no class in what happened yesterday. You know, it was unbelievable to watch it in real time and to kind of like just follow

it. You know, we have a new site, vtpost.com. So we're following this and we're doing stories. And it's getting worse and worse by the minute. It was surreal. That is one way I would use to describe it. You know, and then yesterday just has a tendency to bring the worst out of so many people.

And were they fueled on by what was going on in that rally? There's so many people that have gotten into Washington, DC. This week, over what, close to 2 million, 1.5 million, I didn't even know that. I didn't know that there was that called to arms or that many people that were there. When you look at some of the videos beforehand with Rudy Giuliani with Donald Trump Jr., it's disturbing to see some of the stuff they were saying. You can imagine how this gets these desperate people riled up and they do stuff.

But no matter what happens, these images from yesterday are going to be here forever. And they're terrible. I mean, when you look at them and you think of what this country stands for, and you see these people that are posing and taking selfies and get past four lines of barricades to break into the Capitol building. It was just a terrible day. It was sad. But for me personally, it helps me move on.

It really does. I mean, you can put that behind you now and say, for better or worse, we have a new president. These are the circumstances, and we all have to deal with it. And that was a terrible way. It tarnishes his legacy. I'm sure we can talk about that some more too, but it was, it was so real. And you've just passed the point of saying, I could never see that happening. Like you mentioned, could you ever imagine a sitting president having his Twitter account

or a block? And now nothing surprises most Americans anymore after yesterday. It's just, it's numbing in. It's time to move on now. It is just time. Was there any other way that he was going to go out like we talked about this yesterday? I don't think anybody just care about the most first and foremost. Yeah, but he cares about himself. He wanted that to happen.

I would think Thomas. He's been calling for January 6th for two months now saying he, he, he incited. Yeah, but I think some of that loves their country. I don't think you can deny the fact that he loves his country. Go back to my question. Okay, cool. He likes his country. Loves his country.

Cool. We all do. But who does Trump care about the most? That's obvious. We all know. Who is it? Of course. We all know that. Because that has nothing to do with, you know, riders getting into the capital building. And they, who's that?

That should be louder. What's your point? chime in, Pat. I mean, yes, I'm going, buddy. I mean, this is a gift we got. I mean, we can go so many routes with this. I don't know if we're gonna jump right in there and go into this, show us all stories. Let's get right into it. Okay, let's go. Let's go.

Give us your thoughts, Pat. And then we can kind of do a little round table discussion on really basically what I have. Well, I mean, first of all, I don't know, yesterday was just absolutely out of control. But I'm gonna give you my perspective and it's gonna be long winded. So I'm gonna go for a few minutes,

you know, share with you where I'm at. So, okay, so, you know, election happens, coronavirus, okay, some can speculate and say that was used to politicize and shut us down. And yesterday I interviewed a guy named John, John Barry, great conversation, 90 minutes. He's the guy that wrote the book, The Great Influence of 1918 and 2004, and it became a top seller. His first book, I think he's got stuff in the Library of Congress. He's a very legendary writer for Washington Post.

He's written for everybody pretty much, right? And he was there in the 90s. He's a guy that was born in 1947, so he's been around politics for a long time. While we're doing the interview, it's at the peak. That's when the girl got shot while we're doing the interview, right? And he says all this stuff, you know, well, let me tell you, Trump is Trump, then he's full on democratic,

calls out Trump the entire time when we're doing the interview. And in my mind, you know, here's how I processed this. Okay. Both sides use the same strategy and tactic. Okay, both sides. The left protests riots, but the media said,

it's peaceful protesting. So you have to know, to me, it goes to the number one cause of this flare. I'm looking at who instigated this the most. That's where I go to number one. Is the number one instigator Obama? Um, no. Although Obama under his reign, every time you said anything, you're racist.

So that's something that came back a lot under Obama. We didn't have that with a lot with others, but he came up under Obama. Anytime anybody said anything about Obama, they said, well, because he's black, right? And you're being racist about it. Okay, fine. Is it Obama's fault? Was Obama a guy that was divisive? Maybe a little bit because it's a community organizer,

but at this level, absolutely not. So then you continue and then you say, okay, it's a Trump's fault. Of course, everything rises and falls on the leader, which is Trump, but at the same time Trump's a fighter. So Trump's somebody that's been fighting like this his entire career. It's nothing new what Trump's doing, right?

To me, everything falls on the media. Everything to me falls on the media. The media told a different story on one side and told a different story on the other side. So you got yesterday a veteran who was in the Air Force, I believe 14 years, she did four tours, who's standing there, she gets shot, falls the guy grabs her, he

does not know what's going on. He sees blood in his hands and later on two hours later she ends up dying. They have a business in San Diego, she lives in San Diego, she's a pro-Trump supporter comes out. Think about the people that came out to support that thing, they're doing the right thing in a walking into Capitol Hill. And others are saying, well, this was all Antifa, it was in pro-Trump supporter, it was Antifa that was there.

No, no, no, this was Trump supporters that went into the Capitol Hill. There's nothing about it. That's not, uh, uh, uh, uh, that wasn't Trump supporters. Here's the other part. You know how people say, you know, Republicans don't play as dirty as Democrats do. Okay. You know, you, I don't know if you've ever heard that saying before or not. Yeah. Republicans aren't willing to go to places that Democrats are willing to go. Democrats will go and say, community organized, protest, rally, little bit of rights, make some noise, rockets, it's okay, oh, they're angry,

they're upset. Do you blame them? You should, you would be also upset if you were them, right? But because whatever you say, it's kind of like, you know, I have a friend of mine who a stepfather and a son and a wife, right?

So the wife, his wife has a son, but it's a step son to him, right? So anytime he tries to discipline the son, the mother says, what? That you were too tough on him. You don't talk to him like that. And he's like, dude, I can't develop your son. I can't do anything.

I can't be a man at the house, so because anytime I try to discipline your son, you'll always come in and protect what? The sons of what? A baby. And the son always goes to who? Mommy. Okay.

Anytime the rioters or protesters on the left came out in the streets and they were protesting, guess who the mommy was? That's it. Oh, they're just upset. Why are you so media? The media was at their upset. Do you blame them?

But yesterday when Republicans do it, oh, why, why are they doing't, this was an atrocity. The only difference on why yesterday was an atrocity is you do not go to the Capitol Hill which represents your country, the Constitution. Everything that was eloquently written years ago to give you freedom and you go into that house, you don't do that.

In a family, siblings can fight all day long. You cross the line and you disrespect the parents, you just cross the line, buddy. That's a problem. If siblings are Republicans and Democrats, they're fighting fine. The parents, the four fathers that build this country, that's Capitol Hill, that's our history,

that's what we stand for. You guys cross the line. So now you're going out there sometimes and you rallying, right? Let me tell you, you know, here's what we stand for. You guys crossed the line. So now you're going out there sometimes and you rallying, right? Let me tell you, you know, here's what they're doing. They stole, they did this and they did that. Fine. There's a part of me that believes there was voter fraud.

There's a part of me that believes there was voter fraud because of, uh, uh, yeah, 100%. Why is it all of a sudden you shut it down at 10.30? I'm sorry. Oh, we're gonna stay last night until we vote into electoral, like that. I don't care how it we're going to stay last night until we vote into electoral. Like that. I don't care how it's longer takes.

Really? How come you didn't have the same mindset on voting night? Why didn't you say I'm voting now? We're going to stay until we figured out three o'clock in the morning. Hell or high, we're going to stay here. Why don't you have that same attitude on that night? What state? Georgia, what time did Pennsylvania shut it down?

How many states? Oh, we're not going to do it. We're not going to stay up. Why aren't you going to stay up? Why are you not going to stay up? How come you don't have to agree with you on that? How come you don't have to have the same level of enthusiasm? So where is the skepticism? Where does the skepticism come in? My skepticism at what point does losing every loss? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait a minute. Why did you shut it

down at 1030? There's skepticism in there. It's very fair to be skeptical. Have they answered those questions yet? Of course they don't have to answer the questions. What do you mean they should? Who has to answer the questions? It's a lawmaker. We're going to need to counsel tomorrow. What do we say about it? Nothing media is not controlled by the right. It's controlled by the left. So they have, again, the mom, he says, oh, they have to count. Oh, they have to count. Oh, it's so much pressure right now for them. They're gonna probably need for two months. They were telling us they're probably gonna need 30 days to figure everything. God, no, you didn't.

Why do you need that additional 30 days? Every single damn time you can figure out one out until the end of course you gonna piss off an audience, 75 million people are pissed off. You're wondering why they're pissed off. Why don't you stay up then out until you figure it out. Here's the other thing that pisses me off about this whole thing. So I'm at the airport the other day, TSA says, oh, we don't need your disguise talking to me,

he's rolling his asses, which is totally fine. So he's rolling his asses and saying, sir, I just have to tell you, move in forward, you don't need to show your, you don't have to show your boarding pass. We don't need your boarding pass, all we need is ID. Because nowadays, technology is advanced and the ID can say a lot. And I said, yeah, we should do that uh... boarding pass we don't need your boarding pass all we need is i.d. because nowadays technologies advance and i'd be can say a lot and i said

yeah we should do that for voting as well well that's a different story because when it comes on to that the racial i'm sorry what we've made what's a different story if you didn't buy i'd to get on a damn flight which is just a flight what's more important who the president is or a flight why don't more important, who the president is,

or a flight? Why don't you use my ID to vote? I guarantee the results will be different. There is so much hypocrisy today in America. Now, let me bring it back. So I just went left, right, left, right, left. As someone's pissed off on both sides with me right now, because of what I'm saying,

but this is on wire. Bring it back to the way it was yesterday. Okay. Yes, there was voter fraud, 100% there was voter fraud, even if it's low high, there was voter fraud. At the levels, I don't know. I believe there was simply because of that night, you didn't count until the end of the night. There's nothing that anyone can convince in your mind that there was not for. Bro, let me tell you, if everyone, just on the Democrat side, every, of course, is just on the Democrats.

No Republicans are gonna go to the road. Because it was the cities that was, was the cities and states that was controlled by the left. Of course, it's on their side, right? Historically, if you're asking me, I'm gonna say both sides, but historically voter fraud's always been on the left. Not the only.

The only year that Republicans did not have voter fraud, you're saying? No, I'm not telling you, they don't do it either. I tell you, they do, but this year, Ron, who do you think a mail- uh, uh, mail and ballot helps more Republicans or Democrats? Clearly, Democrats tell me why though. Tell me why though. Well, tell me why they were promoting mail and ballot, but tell me why though, because there's a freaking pandemic. And I asked you

question yesterday, I said, when you voted, how did you vote mail and ballot? But what's the big deal? And I said, did you have to show you right? The imprint and you said, uh, uh, uh, no, I don't think I stopped. But,, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh Fly do you need my ID to vote? I don't trust that. So then you're saying that no mail in ballet ballet should ever exist. No, I don't. I think you have to go and person and vote. Yes, I do. No matter what. I do.

Because you want to act? What about early voting? What about it? What about it? It's accuracy important to you. Of course. Is it come show up? Come show up.

So one day? Come show up. Why can't we vote for a month? I don't care if we vote for six months. Why does it have to be one day? I don't care if it's... Have to be people can't get off of work. Hear me out. I don't care if we vote for six months. Why does it have to be one day? I don't care if it's... Have to be able to get off of work. Hear me out. I don't care if it's six months.

In India, they take like a month to vote. Did you hear what I just said? Yeah, I mean... I don't care if it's six months. I want you to show up. I want you to show up and give you an idea. That's what I'm asking for. I'm not asking you for anything more than that.

One day is stupid. How am I gonna take one day off? Would you trust it if someone can figure out some freaking technology and we can vote from our phones? No. You need to show your face. That's stupid. How am I gonna take one day off? Would you trust it if someone can figure out some freaking technology and we can vote from our phones? No, you need to show your face. That's it. Bottom line, you have to be there. Dude, how do you check into an airline and airport?

Well, you have to physically be there to get on the plane. Okay, then great, you wanna physically vote, physically show up and vote. I don't know, Pat. I do know. Now, the other side is this way. When I was a viewer out of town, when I was a viewer military, you got're six months and you're freaking airing

You got six months you got six months you have to fly home to vote you got no Put a put a voting boot over there and have somebody go and show up and say here's why I'm here Why can't you take a copy of your idea and like send in a copy because I can do that for you and I can just Yeah, you think that's gonna are you really this naive though buddy? Yes, I am. You are really disnaived. Honestly, though, you're really disnaived. I'm just saying, there's people that can't get ideas. There's people that can't afford ideas. They can't go to the DMV, they can't do all that. If you're talking about mail-in ballots,

higher chance of manipulation, you are naive if you don't buy into that left or right. Period. Let's set that part aside and let's go to the other side. Trump, Trump's a soul loser, period. He, you know, there's other ways of losing. I've lost publicly and it sucks. No one likes it. And for me, I bet, I bet with you telling you where I was at voting why. So it's not like I'm sitting here telling you, you lost, fear. By the way, I fully understand his pain. I fully understand

his agitation because he's a guy that's accustomed to winning, but he became the pistons, not the bulls. He became the pistons. He became Isaiah Thomas by doing this. You don't do that. You're lost. You disagree with certain calls. Say it. I didn't like the calls of referees made tonight. Finds say it. And finally yesterday, he says, he says says what, I totally disagree with the outcome of the election and a fact bear me out. Nevertheless, there will be an early transition on January 20th and orderly, orderly transition. He came out and said orderly transition.

He said, he said that last night. He said that last night. He did. Orderly transition on January 20th. Okay, great. How's this gonna look on his legacy and how do we move forward? Okay, now let's talk about the moving forward part.

I mean, I'll stop right here because you guys got anything to show me. Just go and I've covered a lot. Well, sure, you know, you are naive if you don't believe there was fraud. There was voter fraud and there are facts that back that up. But you don't wear the facts as I'm saying. That's not my job and I'm not going to hear to do that. I'm going to make a point. The point is you can believe that there's voter fraud,

but you can also believe the election wasn't stolen. Those are two different things. Okay, that's fair. And you have to get past that. I mean, yes, there was voter fraud, but like Pat said, he is a very, very sore loser. There is a double standard in the media and without a question. And I think each day it chips away a little bit more where you cannot look at the media as the media, at least as what you thought the media was. They are not there to report everything that happens. All it was last night on CNN and some of these, you know, is a victory lap, you know,

and here's the other problem we have right now. Don't lump everybody that may be supported Trump, voted for Trump, or is a conservative or a Republican as being a person that jumped over those barriers and took selfies on Nancy Pelosi's desk. You know, those people are... Is that all about? What the hell is that all about? And, you know what, I got a problem with, I feel bad the woman was killed, but you break

into the Capitol building, you're putting your life in jeopardy. I mean, these guys are trained to make sure that doesn't happen. She should be in jail if she wasn't killed. I mean, really, everybody that stormed in there should be in jail, will be in jail. There's such idiots. And here's one last thing. You think they're going to jail? They have to.

I mean, their faces are visible. The FBI. She said last night or this morning, she said, we're going to find who was and they're going to be. And I hope they do. I hope they prosecute them as far as you can. You know, it's all on tape. It's funny though.

It's funny though. Those people and I'll turn it right back over to you. It's, I know a lot of Trump supporters are anti-maskers, buddy. If you're going to break into a frickin' the Capitol building, put on a mask. You know, and nobody can be objective anymore. You can't look at intelligently at two sides of a thing and just come up with your opinion. You have to go hard left, hard right, there's nothing in the middle. I happen to scroll through Facebook last night, which was a huge mistake. And how many people are out there saying, defriend me or never talk to me if you voted for Trump. See? And, you know, it's just, I look at what happened

yesterday as a horrible thing for this country, but I also see some things. Did you hear that Nancy Pelosi and was it McConnell or one of them like this bump last night or Pence? It was Pence and Nancy Pelosi after everything got done. They kind of did an elbow bump. I want to see these people communicating and talking with each other. And you know, here's one last thing. If you can be objective about all this because you can't just go to the card and say that was Antifa that did that.

Were there Antifa members interspersed into that crowd? Absolutely. There are pictures of some of those guys inside with a hammer and a sickle, right? I mean, that is the tattoo. So clearly they were part of it, but they weren't the, it wasn't them. Yesterday was just, you know, the, the, the big ending to what we've seen. And it was just the perfect storm and a toxic mix. And now it's just time

to move on and hopefully recover as a country. A couple of things. And I appreciate what you're saying, especially the Facebook comment, like anyone who's like, if you vote if you're Trump or if you voted for Biden, we can't be friends. Like if there's anything that this podcast does or anything that we do here, is we can disagree, we can debate. But at the end of the day, it's like, hey, man, love you, buddy. We're good. We're good. Exactly. Paul Strinover here, I talked about earlier, him and I have conversations all the time. We just said we were getting coffee right before the show. He's making his avocado salad

at 8 a.m. And I said, hey, man, we disagree. But I love you, bro. And that's what this country needs. More of you said something yesterday that was completely powerful. We need an enemy that we can focus on. Not ourselves. Common enemy. Yeah. We need a common enemy, whether that's Iran, whether that's China, whether that's Russian hackers, whatever the hell it is, we got to stop fighting amongst ourselves. I get it.

You love Trump, your Trump supporter, your Obama Biden guy, whatever, whatever, but we can't be fighting amongst ourselves. And hopefully this is going to be the tipping point where it's like, damn, this could get very ugly unless we clean up our act. And that's what this country needs. You know the last time the Capitol was invaded like that? And I'm using the word invaded.

1814, 1814. And you know this was the first time Americans did it because who did it in 1814? It was the frickin' British. And the War of 1812, this is the first time Americans have ever invaded the Capitol. You don't do that. And these are people who believe in law and order and blue lives matter. But let me tell you that. What caused that though? What caused that? Do you have to also understand

what causes that? Look, if my son, Dylan, who's a pretty chill guy, the study is all of a sudden, he punches my oldest in the face. Mm-hmm. Why did he? Dylan won't go punch you in the face. Yeah, frustration, agitation. Dylan won't go punch you in the face. Dylan won't only punch you in the face.

Tickle punch you in the face. Tickle, we had one time one of our guys who used to work over here in the pool. He threw him in the pool. Sock him right in the nose. Sock him right in the face. Sock him right in the shoulder. 32 year old.

I was like, what are you doing? He's sock him in the face, right in the shoulder. He's sock him in the face, that's Cuomo brothers. Sock him in the face. He said, but that's Tickle. Yeah. What's you doing? He sucked him in the face, the right initial. He sucked him in the face. That's Cuomo brothers. Shucked him in the face. But that's Ticco. What's the point? Why did you react that way? What I want to know is why did you react?

We had an incident this weekend where a lot of our guys reacted to a kid that disrespected certain place. The question is why did people react that way? Why did we get to this point? And who's responsible for that? Who is responsible for that? You know, who is putting the fire into it? I do believe there's a part of it that is Trump.

And I do believe a part of it is the media. And I believe a part of it is the left. There are certain people right now just so you know, worldwide that are celebrating. That are sitting there saying, oh, yeah, our enemies, they're celebrating saying, look at these clowns, they want to make fun of us. Putin. She look what they're doing. Cumeini. Look at these guys here right now. Look what these. Okay. So you remember when

Houston Astros got caught cheating? Who remembers that? Yeah, it's yours. What did they do to, uh, to, uh, um, the trophy? Did they end up keeping it? Oh, yeah. They end up keeping it right? Absolutely. But how do you think it's going to look on the resume? For the rest of the astray? Just like all the guys that don't get The trophy. Did they end up keeping it? Oh, yeah. They end up keeping it right? Absolutely. But how do you think it's going to look on the resume? For the rest of the year. Just like all the guys that don't get into the Hall of Fame. Good.

Pete Rose is of the world. You think the guys from Dodgers were happy about it? You think the guys from Yankees were happy about it? You think the guys were happy about it? No. They're not happy about it. Okay. Yes.

Let's say they cheated. Fine. Let's move on. See what happens here. And then show up again, but not this way. To respond this way, man, you're not representing your community the right way. So now here's the other part as well.

Everybody right now is, it's all about the positioning game. So you're watching everybody, it's all about it. People don't even know what's going on right now. The other part is positioning. So what is positioning? Positioning is there's gonna be different types of people that are positioning. There are those right now that are positioning to say,

well, I'm younger, I'm gonna be running in 2024. Dude, I need Trump on my side to come show up to my route. The Josh Hollies of the world, the Ted Cruz's of the world. Of course. Great. There are those that are sitting there saying, dude, I'm gonna have to do business with these guys. I'm never running for office. I'm just gonna stay congressman or senate.

I gotta align myself with who? Pelosi's, Schumers and, you business with these guys. I'm never run a for office. I'm just going to stay congressman or senate. I got to align myself with who? Pelosi's Schumers and you know, these guys are the world. So those are the guys that, you know, some of those guys that are aligning with them. Maybe a Pence, maybe some of those guys, right? Maybe Pence wants to run, but he wants to say I'm more for the constitution, then I'm for Trump. And then there are those that are aligning themselves

right now to say, dude, I'll need, I just need a job with CNN or Fox. That's all I know. I'm sorry. Some guys are saying, right? I need a lobbyist with CNN or five. That's all I need. I'm sorry. Some guys are saying, right? Or lobbyist positions. I need a lobbyist because those guys make some good money. But everybody's right now posturing with their position.

So some of the people are saying things that they don't really believe in. They're just saying it because it benefits the position they're solving for. I don't know if that makes sense or not. So it's hard. It's hard. They're basically of their next five moves.

That's exactly what they're thinking, you know, but, but somebody has to talk about the truth and get people to realize what's going on. You know, for us, we're just kind of sharing our thoughts. Go ahead, Tom. You know, extremism is a, is a very bad thing. And no matter what side you're on, and if you're a far right Republican and you're an extremist, you're looking for someone to blame right now because that's human nature. That's what they're going to do. They want to, they want to find an outlet, you know, to say, Oh, see, it's their fault. And they're going towards Mike Pence right now. That's who their scapegoat is. That's

who, that's who they want to blame that he didn't have the courage to stand up and do that. I don't blame Mike Pence, you know, I don't think he had the power to do it. Number one. And I don't think he's that type of person. And I don't think you can put that type of responsibility on one person when X amount of votes were cast for Joe Biden. And now you're asking one guy to stand up just because he was told to. So I don't like the way the extreme right is blaming pants. Here's the other question I have was yesterday, the beginning or the end was yesterday at

the point where we see we've hit rock bottom. We can only go up from here. Maybe we can find some common ground, work a little bit together if Republicans and the conservatives have a problem with who's running this country and most of them do, you got a chance to do something about it in two years. Or is that the beginning where people are just going to grind in, dig in, and make things even worse? I'm hoping and I'm praying that we can move up. I think that's a great question. And I think it depends on where Trump goes from here. I mean, clearly these people, and I'm hoping and I'm praying to great question that we can move up. I think that's a great question. And I think it depends on where Trump goes from here. I mean, clearly these people, and I'm talking about the extremists are hanging on his

every word. I mean, a lady lost her life yesterday because she is that big of a leader. But she wasn't in this. She was a QAnon supporter. Not that that means you should die, but like she had some far out there. Man, you go over the Capitol building. You're taking 100% risk. 100%. But let's talk about Mike Pence for a second. Let's talk about Mike Pence.

If it's around this question, if it's around this question, stay on this question. If it's not, move on. Well, the question is where can we go from here? Again, again, it revolves around Trump. I don't think so. I don't think so. Let me explain. Be cocky in your predictions. Okay. Confident in your preparation.

Humble in your victory in laws. If those who won, the victorious group comes out cocky, you're gonna drag this shit out. This is not on Trump. Trump officially has no control. If you're saying Biden starts acting cocky. Not just Biden, the left, the media, Biden, if they act cocky, you're putting salt on the wound and you're going to piss people off. To find cocky, because I want to understand what you're saying.

You're not a guy out. Be joe-ass dog. You don't get in the guy's face. You knock them off, step back. Exactly. And then you go and say, man, you good. It's everything good. I'm, you know, hey man, I put fighters in the hug.

Dude, you walk out. Listen, I understand. I lost sucks. I've lost myself, dude. I hope just I respect your fight. You know, I respect and you move on. Right? Okay.

Win with class. So now, obviously Trump is not losing with, you know, too. Say, oh, he's losing with class. No, he's pissed off. He thinks what if what happened? Fine. But the win, he's not the winner. He's not the winner. Jordan, when he won, he's losing with class. No, he's pissed off. He thinks what if what happened? Fine, but he's not the winner. He's not the winner.

Jordan, when he won, he's still not class. We won, okay? Class. Hey, I'm gonna give respect to the opponent. Baba, baba, baba, baba, but he won. Okay. The winners are in charge right now, not the loser. The loser officially has no control.

What can he do? Nothing. He's done. He does another rally like this. Let me put it to you this way. If he entices people to go out there and do another rally like this, do not be surprised if he's 100% banned from all of social media like Alex Jones. And do you think that's valid?

If he does it to the point where you're getting people to be hurt, it is a very good argument to be made. If you go to that level, I don't run those companies. I'm freedom of speech. So to me, it's about freedom of speech and I'm not about, but you cannot use your speech to create war, you know, stuff you can't do. Especially a starting point. No point. So there is a tipping point where he should be banned from social media. Well, first of all, like I said to you again, if I'm going on social media and saying, like if I said right now, you're upset about it to all the second amendment folks, crap, your guns, let's go to DC. They should shut me down. Yeah, okay. They should take that video then. That's not a, what am I talking about?

Exactly. I mean, that's how a real cool stuff is. I think he has three tweets. He quote unquote has to delete. And if so, they'll put his account back in the next 12 hours. If not, they're gonna start as a countdown for good. I think he, I think I, look, he's not gonna listen to anybody. Yeah, that's the thing. I think there's one person he will listen to.

I think there's one person he will listen to. Who's that? I think it's only his wife. I think he will listen. You think he's actually gonna listen to her? I think he absolutely will. I don't think so. I think, yeah, let me tell you why.

Yeah. I think you absolutely, you may want to turn off your mic because everything you're drinking, we're hearing. I think he will listen to his wife. If his wife, the assistant says, look, I just want to let you know, you're making it harder on my kid, Baron. And you're bringing a lot of negative attention on him.

And if I have to choose between you and my kid, it's my kid. Okay, and I think you're crossing the line. So you may want to calm down a little bit. But that's just my processing. I got to tell you, I 1000% disagree with you on the point. I don't think he's going to listen to Melania. I don't think he's going to listen to Ivanka.

I don't think he's going to listen to Don Junior or Eric or whatever the other kid is. I don't think he's going to listen to anybody. I don't think there is a person he will listen to more than his wife. You're talking about somebody back to the Mike Pence thing. You're talking about somebody. Has there ever been a more loyal vice president than Mike Pence? This guy ate a shit sandwich, a Trump shit sandwich. It was like, man, that tasted good, guys.

Get on the train. And he threw Mike Pence under the bus, said, what do you say exactly yesterday? He said, basically Mike Pence is weak and he won't do what he has. But that was in the heat of the moment when this is happening. You're talking about someone incredibly loyal that you just throw under the bus in your final days. Yeah, but then he throws everybody under the bus. Okay, that's my point.

Okay, but let me take counterpoint here. We all know that his ego drives everything. The most important thing to himself is himself. I believe he is concerned of how this looks. I mean, in his statement, did you notice one of the things he said? In his statement, he referred to himself as having the greatest first term presidency in the history of America. I mean, even in his release, where he's conceding essentially and saying that there's going to be a peaceful transition,

he's also putting the spotlight on him and saying, hey, this was the most successful first term ever. So I, someone, someone has to be in his ear. He has to listen to someone and say, it is time now to pull back a little bit. You know, you can only hurt yourself more at this point. And his legacy will be destroyed forever if he continues to do this. Now, the problem is there's a certain fringe element that hangs on his words and are looking for marching orders basically from him. So he has to be very, very careful. He has to be because he has true believer followers. Look, the demon candidates have true believer followers. True believer, believer followers will go through the wall for you. And, and he has to take that power responsibly. He can be thrown that weight

around telling people to do whatever because people will move on his words. So when you're somebody like that, you have to be very, very careful. Yes, be very careful. Where are you suggesting that he's gonna, all of a sudden have grace and willingness to listen? I'm talking about somebody, and I don't mean this like. You know what's the best thing he can do? You know what's the best thing he can do? Go away for a little while. Go away for six months.

Pull a Jack Maughan. Well, if he loves his country, he needs to do that. And I think he loves his country. Listen, we can all have wishful thinking here. But yeah, this guy is an egom narcissist and he's made it to the top. Everybody who ever becomes a president does. Cool. But he ain't laying low for two days.

Yeah, nobody becomes, all the way. He ain't laying low for six months. Ain't nobody becoming a president who isn't narcissistic, ego, all that other stuff. Just so you know, I disagree. You can have a big ego, but you don't necessarily need to be a narcissist. Oh, anybody that becomes a president, you have a little bit of thinking you're better than everybody else and that's fine. That's fine. That's fine but not a full-on artist. He's also a smart guy. He needs to get away from the dialogue of the election with stolen. That's not getting him anywhere.

Oh I mean he's that's always gonna cover say the rest of his life. He on his deathbed saying that. Yeah if he does that, he ain't changing, Pat. Yeah, I didn't say he is or he's not. I'm not saying he is or he's not. And I don't think he, like, you know, our buddy Tim Grover wrote the book, Relentless, right?

The trainer, Tim Grover? Yeah, he wrote a book called Relentless. And, you know, he's a great guy. I mean, he's got very good mindsets. You've interviewed him? Yeah, he had very good guys. He spent a lot called Relentless and, you know, he's a great guy. I mean, he's got very good mindsets. You've interviewed him? Yeah, very good, guys. Spent a lot of time with him. So, you know, one thing he says and cleaner is,

cleaners don't apologize for their position, right? The cleaner is a cleaner. Here's who I am, let's just say, right? You don't go right. He's being by cleaner. He has cooler cleaner, you know, and closer, cooler, closer cleaner, and cleaners, like Jordan's a cleaner. And he would, in the book, he says, LeBron's a closer.

And then he changed after coming out and getting some criticism saying LeBron's a cleaner as well. Anyways, you know, Trump is a cleaner. He's not going to come out and all of a sudden change and do all the sudden stuff. He's just not going to do that. You don't have to like or agree with a cleaner. Usually cleaners are hated by you. But what does a cleaner mean?

Cleaner means I'm doing it my way. It's a Frank Sinatra tap a thing. Here's who I am. I did it my way. What do you like it or not? He's in that category. You know, when I sat down with Mike Dittka, you know, it was one of the things I did on like one.

Mike Dittka. I sat down with Mike Dittka. You know, one of the things I didn't like. I didn't like the fact that he got to a point. It was, it was not the interview I liked, because he was apologetic about some of the fact that he got to a point. It was not the interview I liked, because he was apologetic about some of the things that he did. He was like, well, I probably couldn't have done this

and I'm like, I'm like, dude, that's not, that's not. You were Mike Ditka, you know, your Ditka, you're the guy that, you know, say, hey, it's a quarter body, go make a phone call to someone who cares. And then the guy's the question, I'd rather talk to him. I know I'm smarter than that idiot over there. You know, it was something about Ditka that was, did kiss, did kiss this, you know, all this stuff. Yeah. So, you know, the, the, the,

the part about Trump, is it going to change? I don't think it's going to change. But I think America is bigger than the, you know, LaBron comes out and says, we need to retire the Jersey 23 hands down. No one should ever wear the Jersey 23. LeBron comes out and says, we need to retire to Jersey 23, hands down. No one should ever wear to Jersey 23. They go to Mike. Mike says, I appreciate that. This is what the NBA is bigger than one player. I'm just one player. Look who's wearing 23. Exactly. He's six now, isn't he? No, he's twenty five.

He's twenty three. You know, Trump did do some good things in his first term. It's all going to be washed away unless he peels back a little bit. And I think he will. I mean, if you just, if you monitor them a little bit yesterday and then compared it to a statement overnight, he's not a bona fide idiot. He's a narcissist. He's an egomaniac. He's not an idiot. Will you show up to an inauguration?

Hell no. I think here's, I'm going to make two predictions, okay? Two predictions. Number one, by the weekend in the news. It's all the COVID super spreader from this. Okay. That everybody there yesterday is taking COVID to the rest of the country. That's all the media is going to be talking about probably starting Saturday that the mob has now infected at five million more people with COVID. They're going to take that and they're going to run with it. My other prediction is you're going to find some of these people

that stormed into the Capitol building and were arrested are going to ask Trump for a pardon. Watch for that to happen. I guarantee you some of these nut jobs are going to be doing that and thinking that Trump can pardon them. They were so comfortable when they got inside that Capitol building, when you see these pictures, they had no comprehension of what's going to happen to them down the road. I mean, these are serious, serious felonies. They're looking at a decade in prison. They're laughing. They're doing selfies. You know, they stole stuff out of Pelosi's

desk, right? The guys that got his feet up on there, one dude stole a podium. I mean, literally took it out of the Senate chamber. So two predictions, those things are going to happen. I happen to agree with you. Where the hell? Where the police are on all this? Where the hell were security guards? Where were the armed guards? Like when the BLM did their protest over the summer, you've seen the image of these guys on the steps. Now you have the contradiction over here of cops,

like literally, literally taking selfies with some of these protesters, graciously walking them out. The image that, I mean, Kai and I were looking at this, the one, one black police officer without a fucking gun and trying to find his baton being chased up the stairs of the Capitol. Kai, I don't know if you have those images, but that was, I mean, you have a mad mob coming after a police officer. And while he is being raced up the stairs, it's like, what is happening right now?

There were four barriers. This guy right here. This guy had no idea that people were going to break into the Capitol. I don't blame this guy. I mean, he's just like, I think he's giving a little bit of audio. Not a lot of audio, a little bit of audio. The only weapon he found was his thing on the floor behind him.

Then you bring out your gun, buddy. You have all these guys. This is Sir William. This mob coming after the police officer. I don't believe this blameless police officer. He was doing the best he could. Buddy, you have a gun? Does he have a gun or not?

Yeah, but what are you gonna do? Start shooting people? Yes! If they're coming after you, you know that this or black people are muzzle people They're being shot. This there shouldn't be this level of responsibility on one security guard inside the panic. They're coming after him, bro. He's Halt The planning was horrible. They did a terrible job where are

The police what's gonna happen to that guy what going to happen to that guy what's going to happen to that guy right there his face is everyone what happened to him who is that Charlie does all take a police officer breaking into a federal building um i mean these people trashed congressman's offices stole stuff out of nancy Pelosi says all right so we got two more police three more police where the hell have they been yet, but Adam they weren't expecting this to happen You can't do you mean Tom? Of course they were they were Windows and storm the capital you yourself said it's never happened before why would they think it would happen yesterday

I don't blame those cops inside the building it was the planning of the city You know to not anticipate this and have the national guard on standby or have cops from Maryland there or whatever else they needed. They were under, under man. It's just honestly, it's just sad that this is what it's come down to. Like I, I, I wish, and I'm not a Trump supporter, we all know that. I wish that he would have gone out graciously. I've done some great things.

You know, we made America great again, the whole spiel, but my time has come. You know, I'll be back in four years. I love you guys. You know, Biden's your guy now, but I'm going to kick his ass in four years, come out, like lose graciously. There's an image right now of, I posted on my Instagram of day one of a beautiful picture outside the Capitol with the flags and everything and day, whatever it is, 1422, whatever it is, and the Capitol literally on flames and burning.

And that's the indelible image that's going to be stuck on Trump's legacy. And again, not as a Trump supporter, I wish it didn't happen like this, but this is not a good look for this guy or anybody that's been supporting. Let me ask you, if you're watching this right now, if you're watching this right now, what caused this? This is my question for you. What causes we talked about this earlier? Do you think media is the cause of this?

Do you think the left is the cause of this? Do you think Trump's the cause of this? So, meaning media, left, Trump. If it's, if you think it's Trump, if you think it's media, press thumbs up. If you think it's the left push thumbs down. If you think it's Trump, comment section, say Trump. I'm curious to know who you think this was

because for us when you watched this, I want to know who is the number one, you know the dominoe, you know, you've ever seen the guys that put the dominoe in all of some one, one, you tip one, a 50,000 dominoes. Yeah. I want to know who was the first. I don't want to know the third or the fifth or the second. I want to know what caused things to go. Bam. Let me ask you. Yeah. Because I want to understand where your question is. What do you mean by?

Is it the media? Is it Trump? Like clearly, this is on Trump not conceding. And then the media runs with the fact that he's not conceding. What led to this? What led to yesterday? Yeah, what led to this? What led to us being here? What? What would the media have to do with that? Let me, let me, I'm asking you a question. Yeah, I want to know. I'm talking about, buddy. I mean, we just talked about that a minute ago. I give you my explanation. Why it's okay. What does this video represent? What does yesterday represent?

What does it represent? It represents united or divided? Divided. How did it become divided? What caused us to be divided? Oh, you're going deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper than that. What caused us to be divided? I look at my parents when they got a divorce.

I asked, what caused them to be divided? And I would sit there and I would watch my mom's aunts bitch about my dad and I would watch my dad's mother and brothers bitch about my mom all the time. So who created the division? Family behind closed doors, we're stoking both of them. Oh, she's not doing this, she's not a good wife. He's not a good husband, he's not,

finally they're like, screw it man, I'm gonna please my family. They got a divorce. Yeah. This stuff doesn't happen because of one day or one occasion. This has been four or five years in the making. Maybe six or seven. It's the influx of social media. It's people being able to comment and communicate about anything and take sides and forge enemies and go against each other. It's the media stoking the fire. It's Trump doing his part. No doubt. It's the media stoking the fire. It's Trump doing his

part. No doubt. It's the far left looking at an opportunity to take advantage of this situation. It's a perfect toxic cocktail that came to a boiling point yesterday. And that's what you got. You know, I appreciate what we're saying here. And clearly media being, you know, dominated by left center of left people. But the media has been around for 100, 200 freaking years. Yeah, but the media has changed. Okay, that's fundamental. It's not. We've never had a president like this.

So we can, I mean, as the media changed that much in four years, eight years, 20 years. Yes, it has. Okay, but why is it, why is it changed so much? Because you have Trump calling the media, the enemy of the people, it's all fake news. So there's enough blame to go around. No doubt, no doubt. But you have to look at the top

and there's one person out there that has caused too much of this. You can't just say Trump. But you can't say Trump. Just so you know, a lot of people agree, a lot of people commented saying Trump more commented agreeing saying it's the media and fewer commented saying it's the left.

So number one so far right now is media than it's a tie between left and Trump based on what I'm seeing with the comment section. A bunch of people commented. So I don't know. I think, I think, so here's my question for you. I asked the guy yesterday, I said, so how is CNN question for you. I asked the guy yesterday, I said,

so how is CNN, MSN, the CBN held accountable for saying Russia, Russia, Russia for three years? How? Wasn't true. They're not. Never happened. Yeah, we should move on.

So, so, so the guy that walked in on the cop, what's gonna end up happening to him? He should be arrested. Should he be arrested? He's going down. Do you guys all agree that he should be arrested? Should he be arrested? Yeah, not just him, but everyone behind him too. Fine, what I'm trying to tell you is they should be arrested. Should he be arrested? Do you guys all agree that he should be arrested? Should he be arrested? Not just him, but everyone behind him too.

Fine. What I'm trying to tell you is they should be arrested, right? Okay. Fine. If he gets arrested, are you gonna say, oh my gosh, I shouldn't have arrested that guy. Are you gonna say that? Okay. Trump got suspended from Twitter yesterday in Facebook for 12 hours.

Right move or wrong move. You're good with that. He knows the rules at this point. I think it was the only thing they could do. Right move or wrong move. I think it's the right move. Right move. Right move. To to slow it down. Right move. To not entice. Right. Okay. All right. Make. If you try to do something, they're just going to stomp them up. Okay. Watch this. But wait a minute, guys. Look what I'm going with this. This is my point I'm making to is that guy should be held accountable Yes, we all agree Trump held accountable for his tweets shut it down for 12 hours. Yes

How to hell is the media being held accountable? Zero who's getting fired who's getting fined who's getting shut down who's shutting down CNN for 12 hours who's shutting down MSNBC for 12 hours Who's shutting down Fox were 12 hours? How come they don't get a shutdown? Why don't we get a shutdown for these guests were 12 hours for one day CNN is off fine advertisements gone Why don't we do that to them you're talking about accountability? There is no accountability for the media There is no accountability for the media. What is it you say hide under the opinion section? You're the news section. Yeah, you're in the opinion. You're a journalist. Where's the accountability? I'll tell you what I I learned something from you. Remember yesterday

I said, oh, there's a lady that got shot. And I heard she was 16 or something like that. Yeah, I know you correct. And I said, I, I made a mistake. Yeah. Apparently she was not underage. I had some bad news. I apologize. I retract my statement. But real news organizations have to apologize when they make a mistake. You were in the media. You understand that, right? Well, when do you have to apologize? But you know mistake. You were in the media, you understand that, right? Like, well, when do you have to apologize? But you know what, that ship is just sailed. It's just that's not what the media is anymore. Here's an analogy I would use over the last four,

five, six years. This was a infernal yesterday. But leading up to that, you had some people that drive the grass around there. You had some people that brought some kindling. You got some people that brought some logs. You got some other people that brought some loose paper. You got some people that brought some logs. You got some other people that brought some loose paper. You got the media that poured fuel all over this

and then Trump takes a lighter boom or a match and it goes. I mean, there's so many people that are responsible for what happened yesterday. You cannot just say it's one entity or one person, but it's where we're at as a country right now. And I hope we're smart enough to figure it out and move on and move past this a little bit. Listen, if you're running a company

and there is fraud internally or there is a fallen out or there is an issue that all of a sudden happens in event. Like, you know, I was at a town once and we had an issue that happened you about a year and a half ago, two years ago. And I'm like, what the hell happened? Camera, conversations, everything.

We did investigation, we found out who it was, we had to make a decision, right? And we made a decision. I bet that was scary for that person. Yeah, face you. Yeah, but the point is, the point is, I wanted to find out who started it, not who was involved. If I come and slap you into face you're probably gonna react

I'm not looking for the reaction. I want to know who in Who started the whole thing right I think the media needs to be held accountable and unfortunately I don't think nothing's gonna happen to you. How do you hold the media? They don't take them off for 24 hours? That's taking them off. Oh dude suspend the media for 24 hours. Oh, though. Who's responsible for that? It has to be from the top of the FCC to do suspended media for 24 hours. Oh, though, who's responsible for that? It has to be from the top. The FCC.

We're hanging on a second. Hang on a second. How much is social media facing backlash? How much is social media facing backlash, right? Well, they're talking about breaking up Facebook. Okay. Well, then I'll have you. One session two, three, four, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five go up there and say, how's Adam Schiff being held accountable, saying Russia 100% guaranteed to happen? How's he being held accountable?

He's not. How comments like that being held to face re-election? I don't know. Yeah, but that's great. CNN's not facing real life. Pat, one thought on that. You know, because I've either as Foxy, there's MSNBC, there's all of them.

I just told you, put all of them in there. I agree with your idea. For sure. Put a fine. Let me ask you about who goes is that? What the government does let me have a government's gonna start finding the media like what they say that's a slippery story i'm sorry i'm sorry in the mba what happened to

magic janssen when he tried to recruit players away to the lakeers what happened to how big of a fine was it ten a million a hundred and a half a million out of fine okay you can be doing when he was talking about hey paul george he did this i think on jimmy camel shot i don't know who was fallon or chemo one of those guys he said hey no i'm not gonna try Kimmel's show. I don't know who was Fallon or Kimmel, one of those guys. He said, okay, no, I'm not going to try to recruit Paul George, but you know, if I know, and I do want to do things, wait, okay, you got

firing or a tempering? Okay, these guys are tampering. No problem. Fine, fine, fine, fine hand, okay, fine, cool, fine, fine, matter with you, but let's, let's, let's, let's go through this. Let's go down this rabbit hole. Who's doing the finding? The Congress, the president? The same way there's an associate. There's same way there's an association. The same way there's a method to the madness of accountability. You do the same way these guys are making big dollars. If you make them big dollars, hey, you're in the NBA.

You say something to the referee, you're getting fined. It's just basic protocol. If you ever say anything to the ref, what happens? 35 grand, 25 grand, 50 grand. Great. It's a basic protocol. If you ever say anything to the ref, what happens? 35 grand, 25 grand, 50 grand. Great. It's a form of accountability. And then the players say, I wasn't gonna say anything because I'm not gonna give my money up to the associate.

Right. Great. I like that. It's a form of accountability. I've got one more solution. And this one is practical and we can actually do it. I have a lot of family members that will come to me. They're scared.

I mean, I guarantee a lot of people watching this podcast right now are scared from what happened yesterday. I mean, that's a troubling. Those scenes are horrible. People are freaked out. Here's what I tell them. And here's what I'm telling you, peel back on the media. Don't watch it. Peel back on traditional media. They are only going to stoke it further for you. No matter. Even if you believe in one side and you only watch CNN or MNS MVC, it's going to make you really angry. If you're a conservative, you only watch Fox, it's gonna make you more mad.

Why don't you bring it close to yourself? What you said to us yesterday, I mean, because sometimes when conservatives say that people said, well, you're gonna still go watch Fox and you're gonna go, yeah, but if you subject yourself to the only one message, you're gonna, you're gonna hate the other side, no. To a family, you even said that yesterday.

You said that to a family, yes, I said, just peel back from Fox. Yeah. Don't just go and watch Fox. Get headlines. Go to VT post so you can know what's going on in the world. But peel back on your social media. Do not engage and pull yourself back from the regular media.

I guarantee you the people that are most troubled and have or have any anxiety from yesterday are the ones that really consume a ton of media. You got to get away from it because they're out to damage and destroy it. So I hear you on that. I just have a different approach. I watch Fox, I watch CNN, I read Wall Street Journal, I see Business Insider, I read USA Today,

a lot of them are apps on my phone. I like getting different perspectives. I saw something, I don't know if it was a daily show or whoever said it, I said, if you turn on CNN, it says, Trump supporters storm the Capitol. You turn on MSNBC and it says, angry mob ransacks the Capitol

and then you turn on Fox, it says, but Hillary Clinton's emails. So like, you're gonna, every media outlet is gonna come with a different story. So do you just like do it? I did for the last two weeks when I was in Miami and just bury your head in the sand and be like, dude, I don't want to see nothing. I'm just going to be getting drunk for the next two weeks and just vacationing. Or do you say, look, I know what I'm getting from CNN.

I know what I'm getting from Fox. I know what I'm getting from MSNBC. But let me see all sides. And that's something that I've done is I want to see what Tucker has to say. I want to see what Cuomo has to say. I want to see what Larry O'Donnell has to say. I want to see different perspectives. And that's how you can form your own opinion. I think I do agree with you. It's sometimes you do have to kind of take a media detox.

I know you've said, talked about that before, but you can't do that the rest of your life. You have to, you know, see what's going on out there. So anyone who's out there and only watches MSNBC or only watches Fox, you're doing your brain into service. Yeah, I say peel back. I mean, and don't listen to only extreme views because it's just going to, it's going to mess with your mind even more.

And that's why you should be watching this podcast because you're getting it all over. Well, let me give a quick shout out because a bunch of people were I'm trying to catch up so much was given from the beginning and I want to make sure these guys get the shout out. Good mother said the children in the media and create the children in the media and crazy women have made a terrible mess of things. People are super mad and it's going to only get worse. You get five bucks. Aaron Delgado gave 20 bucks. He didn't say anything. Good mother.

People can't afford an ID. They have no business voting for anything. Joseph Cole said, Adam, I was wrong and I admitted Biden won. We went about it the wrong way and yesterday was a very sad day. So boy, my God. Shout out. Good for him. James Burnett gave five bucks and he says he's so indoctrinated.

He can't even see the chance. Voter fraud because your side won. he's talking about you so thank you jason rapes out of that what uh... are you to do corrupt voting machines they have to machines in five minutes in front of senate okay jason he continues uh... okay this a different that chat volumes pat even though we don't all feel the same way right now thank you for making a show that actually doesn't fall completely hard right or left we will get

stronger great keep this in the truth Patrick Rick howell rai you curi teo this is what happens when people don't feel like their voices are heard when the courts refuse to hear evidence except the bs machine ones and drop them to procedure supreme court gives a two-line rejection and then we have a trump doesn't need, and need to do anything that people will gather, whether he is in or not, people are mad about the fraud, good mother.

And we have good mothers in the house. All those men in the building, and the only person to get shot was a woman. PSYOP, this is what the country do when the regime changed, ask Iraq. This is Joseph FX426. Good mother back at it again. She says it's the responsibility of universities.

And look, a lot of people are upset. A lot of people are frustrated. Here's my favorite comment. Shout out to Luis Lacayo. He says, dear aliens, now it's a time to show up. We got you, Luis. Respect. And to all the people out there, and we addressed this earlier, We got you, Luis. Respect.

And to all the people out there, and we addressed this earlier, stop it with this was all Antifa. Just stop, bro. You look ridiculous. Yeah. So was some Antifa all up in the mix, the guy in the Viking costume? Sure. So is it fair to say that Biden's the president?

Is it, is it official? Okay. I'll go last. I'll go last. I'll go last. Yes. So what are we all what are we all here? So if Biden's president,

that's one, that's two hundred, that's three. That's five. You can't, you can't do it. I can't even buy any Tesla stock. I got a good pay for you.

Here you go. All right. On the podcast don't ever come back and say Pat doesn't pay I think that David just paid me a thousand dollars. That's a thousand dollars for you. Thank you Of all fake money feels good. Feel good. It's really good. That's real money This is actually real mark her and find out what it is. So you got your money. Save that month But with that being said it is. So you got your money. But with that being said, obviously, Georgia happened and you got Democrats defeated all soft defeated Purdue. And then you have a war knock who defeated

law flora. By the way, have a lot of friends of mine that went to a more house. War knock is a more house graduate himself. Shout out to all my friends who went to a more house. Warnauq is a more house graduate himself. Shout out to all my friends who went to a more house. This is a very big victory, believe it or not, for a more house university, because, you know, it's a elite university, they develop leaders and these types of victories gives a lot of credence and credibility

to the university. So what do you think about what happened with Georgian, what's gonna happen now? Okay, so Georgian's really, really interesting because you're watched the follow out from this because a lot of people are blaming Trump. They're blaming Trump for rep... This should have been a slam dunk.

This should have at least been a layup for one Republican to be elected in Georgia. Yeah. I mean, a Democrat hasn't been elected a senator in the state of Georgia since 1997. 1997 or 1996 was the last time it happened. Now they blame Trump because all his talk about the election being stolen and voter fraud made a lot of people feel like, why vote? I mean, it's already predetermined. So there's some some credence to that argument and some top Republican officials are really

pissed off at Trump and they blame him for this. Now there's another side that blames the Republican Senate because they feel if they had approved the $2,000 stimulus checks, if they had gotten those checks for two grand out, game over. One of them wins. The other blame game that's going on is Loeffler ran an uninspiring campaign. They weren't really thrilled with what she did. And then Purdue was actually running

ads talking about some insider trading situation that he was involved in. So harping on some negative things. So you have the combination of bad campaigning on the ground, the fact that these $2,000 checks didn't get out. It was only 600 because McConnell and his boys prevented that from happening. And then Trump's constant harping on fraud, on fake, on steel, let a lot of people to not vote. We're talking Georgia. Yeah. Sorry I was in count of my money for the last. Thank you for that. That's respect. There's no way. There's no way the Republican should have lost both seats in Georgia. No chance. Like that is a buffoonery. Do you agree with him, though, on who's responsible for it?

He said there's a few things responsible. Yeah, he said Trump. He said the Senate's because they didn't improve the $2,000. You know, so it's, it's, do you do with that? The $2,000, $2,000 thing, I think, I mean, that came in the last week or so, tail end. But, you know, that's important. Oh, I disagree there because they've been talking about that since the summer. Not 2000, bro.

They talked about 1200 at one point. They've been going back and forth on these stimulus for months now. I don't think the 2000 thing, Trump floated the 2000 thing himself. He wants it. Here's what happened in Georgia. Who's the governor of Georgia? What's his name? Brian Kemp.

He was a massive Trump fan. Trump got him elected. He's been behind Trump the whole time. He ran against the Abram, Stacey Abrams is a huge voice in Georgia on the left. Lots of influence. Lots of influence. Cool, cool, cool. He's been saying he's been obviously because there's been election there, stoking the flames of what's happening in Georgia. They've had three recounts in Georgia. They did a one by hand recount. He still lost.

He won two, three strikes are out, Trump. And again, they're talking about being a sore loser. He lost in Georgia and he blamed it on Brian Kemp. And you had the Secretary of State of Georgia come out making an impassioned speech being like, somebody's going to get killed. Somebody's going to get killed talking like this. So when you're talking about a rigged election, you're talking about you need to win these seats in order to take back the Senate.

And they should have won at least one. Are you kidding me? David Perdue, you're kidding me. And you're saying it's a rigged election. You having people, the Trump's attorney in Georgia, what's his name? Lin Wood. You've seen this guy coming out basically saying, don't vote unless these senators come out and do something about this rigged election. Like one thing that you said at the beginning

of this was whether you agree or disagree, the Democrats had a unified plan. Republicans have been fractured, whether it's the Lincoln party over here or whether it's Trump, making fun and picking fights. If there's one thing we understand, if you're going to win elections, you got to be unified. And the Republican party is not unified right now, whether you agree with Democrats or not, they were unified behind. We are beating Trump. The Bernie Sanders wing, the AOC wing, the Elizabeth Warrens, they came to the center with

the Joe mansions and the Biden's of the world. And they said, look, we're going to beat Trump. And they've had a unified message. Trump fractured and that and look, there's no way that they should have lost the play dirty. Fricking Georgia. And they did. Okay. So what happens now? Let's talk about what happens now. They lost it. What happens now? They own all of it for two years. It should not be like. What happens now? How, like, if you were to say so, you go into the mind of a Democrat, okay, just go think like you're a Democrat right now. What are they doing right now? What are you doing right now?

Which plans are they going after right now? Hey, I don't think that the Democrats are as unified. There's a lot of people think they are. They have huge fractions right there and, you know, you're squad and some of those people are really pissed off that they're not included in the cabinet. All eyes to me are on Joe Biden. How are you going to handle this? Are you going to take this, this advantage that you have and try to ram everything in or are you going to be a little bit more sensible? I

will say this. I was impressed with him yesterday. You know, he was less radical with his statements than Obama. Did you read Obama's reaction to yesterday? I mean, by God, I mean, it was completely over the top. You saying Biden? No, Obama. Obama had comments about it to all the past Presidents. But I thought Biden was measured. I top. You sang Biden. No, Obama. Obama had comments about it too. Yeah, he did. All the past presidents did. But I thought Biden was measured. Yeah. I thought he was all right.

And you know what? So far, look, he, I'm so grateful that he hasn't put any of these really, really radical lefties in serious cabinet positions or positions of influence yet. So I'm watching Biden to see what he does with this. Don't try to ram every crazy idea that's been floated out there in the next two years. Now, the other thing I say is I just give props to our founding fathers because they put a system in place where we can do something about it in two years. So I think you got to suck it up and deal with whatever it is that's going to happen for

the next two years. But you got a chance to make a difference, you know, starting with these house representatives elections coming up. But it's Biden, I'm praying that you're a sensible, have a voice. What do you really do, though? Give me, by the way, uh, Obama yesterday said, history will rightly remember today's violence at the Capitol, on-site by sitting president as a moment of great dishonor and shame out of our nation. But we'd be kidding ourselves if we treated it as a total surprise is what he said. And Biden said, I call on President

Trump to go on national television out to a full-as-ult and defend the Constitution and demand an end to on this on the stage, to the siege. So what's going to happen? Well, you're specific. Okay, you're specific. Meaning, the only thing that matters right now is getting the economy back and not freaking out about COVID anymore. I mean, as serious as it is, and it's a huge problem, there has to be a legitimate plan to get the country open and running again. You even look at Andrew, Andrew Cuomo in New York.

Now, I don't like him. I don't agree with him, but he's doing some things to open it up. I just saw yesterday the governor of Minnesota, a Democrat, Waltz, opening up bars, opening up restaurants, coming back, having a plan. The worst is California. I live it. I live it. I know it's terrible, but Biden cannot take advantage of this to put further hindrances on everybody in this country that's already suffering.

I think that was a big part of what you saw yesterday too. A lot of those people that have lost a lot of things and have not, you know, lost their job. They have no hope. Ranta Washington DC and one of the little nuts, but we have crossed a point now where there has to be a plan to get the economy going and figure this thing out. So your number one is economy. What I'm, you have to realize, guys, this is deeper than that.

The Democrats have a genie now in a bottle, okay? You make a wish. You got a lot of things on your side. How Senate and Presidency is yours, okay? have we forgot about packing a court you know we forgot about that probably the first time we forgot about capital gains going back up have we forgot about taxes have we forgot about censorship have we forgot about the breaking apart uh... companies such as uh... uh... uh... the uh... what do you call the Facebooks of the world have we forgot about what's gonna happen with amazon have

we forgot about a federal minimum wage Have we forgotten about what's gonna happen with Amazon? Have we forgotten about a federal minimum wage? Have we forgotten about, you know, what's gonna be their first thing that they're gonna say, guys, let's go get these Obama care. You know, what's the first thing that they're gonna come out and say, let's get these things. Sanctions on China, sanctions on Iran, nuclear. There's a bunch of thing that they're gonna do.

How much is gonna get done in the next two years? So I have a, maybe a different opinion on that. Look, the margins are razor thin. So there's going to be like my guy Joe Manchin in West Virginia. I don't see him just toting the company line on increasing taxes or example or anything with the second amendment or anything like that. So the margins are super thin. I mean, Kamala Harris has a deciding vote

in the Senate now. Everything will be voted on the left with her. But I don't think it's going to be as 50, 50, 50, 50, 50 as is projected. Here's my concern, because all those things, whether it's taxes, whether it's infrastructure, whether it's minimum wage, whether it's Obamacare, those things will be left to debate. Here's my biggest concern. We also what happened in 2000 when the election was delayed, go or Bush, Bush, go what happened, what happened, and then it took Bush longer than expected to become inaugurated, what happened,

and then obviously 9-11 happened. Here's my biggest concern, at least initially. We're hearing rumblings that Iran was trying to fly a plane into the capital, right? Our enemies are laughing at us right now. Russia, China, I know. But what are they going to do? I want to know what are they going to do?

What my concern is. Tell me. Is that Trump is not going to actually give Biden's team all the information that he would actually need to run smoothly and that something very ugly can happen. I don't think that matters. I don't think that matters. How does that not matter?

I don't think that matters. How does that not matter? Let me explain to why that doesn't matter. Something like 9-11. Let me explain to why that doesn't matter. Here's why that doesn't matter. Okay. America's bigger than one guy.

You just have to understand that America's bigger than one guy. When a transition is taking place, all the information of the transition is not on one guy. You just have to understand America's bigger than one guy when a transition is taking place, all the information of the transition is not on one guy. It's on everybody under people around them. So okay, then those guys are going to transfer the information to a quarter. Of course. So it's not this is a marriage. He's already not holding out it. He is not. He is not everything. The information is not alone can fix it. Remember that. Oh, again, you're being sarcastic. I'm trying to be serious to your answer. I'm telling you the information, the information will be given to the next guy, Biden. They're going to be all right. I'm not worried about that part. You guys are getting away from the point.

Okay, let me ask the viewers. Maybe I'm going to ask the viewers and go and say something else. Look, Dems have it all right now. Gang, they have to send it. They have the house. They have presidency. What do you think they're have to send it, they have the house, they have presidency. What do you think? They're going to go after and say, because today, they're waking up saying, we got it all. What are we doing? What do we want? Do they go press the court right now? It's what? Six three is on the right. Is that what it is? On the Paris? Yeah. No, no, no, no, Supreme Court. Yeah, six three. Six three is scary and six three is not five years. Six three is not two years.

Six three is 30 years, 20 years. So long time, right, that you're looking at. So do you go attack that and say, let's bump into 11, let's bump into 13. Do you go after a Medicare for all? Do you go after second amendment background checks, heavily training? Do you go after taxes raising it, do you go after what do you think they're going to go after that? They have to be quickly.

Where do you think they go? What's your biggest concern? I'll jump it over to myself. The abortion is one thing they're going to hit. So that means abortion means packing a quilt. Yeah. I think that's a priority for that. I agree with that.

What do you mean abortion? The roller's way it is. All the land. Yeah, but the Supreme Court is six, three right now. So if they wanted to kind of make a move, they could, who would make a move?

The Supreme Court's not just gonna bring up a case. Not someone, but the right could bring something up. They, they, they, they, they, they, they, and they're not thinking about majority in Congress. So that kind of, they're not thinking right now. I just told you that this is Supreme Court could be like that for 10, 20, 30 years. So it's not, it's more important in presidency. They have to bump it up to 11 or 13 and put two Lincoln right now, I just told you that this is Supreme Court could be like that for 10, 20, 30 or so.

It's not. It's more important in presidency. They have to bump it up to 11 or 13 and put two or four there on guys in there. I don't think that's going to be the top priority. Okay. I don't. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong.

And I'll really recover. But you know, you're, I think they're going to go after some pretty aggressive things because I think they might be thinking in a couple of years, things could flip. So I think it's Paris Accord for sure. Taxes are a given. That's already done. How I will go. Well. So I think it's Paris Accord for sure. Taxes are a given. That's already done. How high will it go? Well, we already know it's going higher.

And then based on their reaction to COVID, we got to keep everybody safe. We got to raise more money to give people more money. They're going to keep going higher and higher and higher. Healthcare. I mean, I think anything that they can get their hands on, you know, he's going to be very ambitious. They always talk about a president's first 100 days. I think they're going to throw some things out there now that

they have the handcuffs off and they can basically say and do anything they want. And then they have the media, you know, presenting that message and pounding it home to everybody every single night. They might, they might go a little nuts here in the first two years. Well, I mean, let's just go off what Biden said he wanted to do. Clearly, they're going to re-enter the Paris Accord. Let's talk about what is going to happen. Not they may pack the cord, they may do this. He said he's going to reenter the Paris climate agreement. So check that out the box. They're talking about a federal minimum wage increase to $15. I fully disagree with that. Certain cities, sure. Federally, I think that's a horrible move. It's scary. Taxes will increase increase potentially if you make more than $400,000, that's part of his economic

plan. Potentially capital gains tax. We talked about that. What I think, and this is a good thing, in my opinion, you know, remember when Trump took office in 2016 or early 2017, what's the first thing you did? You went after Obamacare. Yeah? You went after Obamacare. You went after Obamacare. And everyone said,

what a dumb move to go after trying to go after healthcare when you had a layup going after infrastructure. I think Biden is gonna recognize that and he's gonna go after infrastructure. Clean energy, green, I don't think he's come out and he said he does not support the green new deal. He does not support Medicare for all. He's come out and he said that.

So Biden has looked, especially with his cabinet positions and especially with his proposals and his positions, he has looked very moderate. I know all the crazy's out there. What's going on with China? Socialist communist. What's going on with China? I think he's going to continue what Trump has. He said part of his plan, he's going to continue what Trump is doing with the tariffs,

but I think it'll be reassessed, clearly. I think he's going to do what China tells him to do. I think he's not going to be overly aggressive on doing anything. What do you think? What do you think? No, honestly, what do you think? I just don't think he's going to do what China tells him to do.

So you think, so, okay, so what does that mean, though? Do you think tariffs are going away with China? Not anytime soon, no. What's not anytime soon? It's 30 days, six months, 12 months, 18 months. Couple years. When is late? Two years?

I don't know. Do you think we should keep the tariffs in China? I do think we need to keep the tariffs on China until China starts giving us the ability to go and investigate what happened with coronavirus and Wuhan until China is actually going to give us the ability to go investigate. Yeah, if you want, if you China, if US makes you a half a trillion dollars of revenue of tax revenue that comes your way because of import export, yeah, of course, we're your

number one customer. Yes, we want to know what happens so this doesn't happen again because if we open up the airports of travel from China to US, we want to make sure you don't do that to us again. So why didn't Trump initiate that already? What, I wasn't in investigation into China. For him to start investigation in China right now

is impossible to do it right now. Why? Because it's not done yet. What's not done? Nothing's done yet, nothing's finalized yet. We're crown of iris. Meaning it's, you're saying when corona not done? Nothing's done yet. Nothing's finalized yet. We're coronavirus. Meaning it's, you're saying when corona's done, we'll go and-

Well, when this thing is going through right now and everything with the dust settles, they have to go do a major investigation. They're going back and forth. And the other day, China was negotiating of how much the world can come and investigate and do due diligence on what happened, coronavirus. They're negotiating to give you limits

on how much limitations you got. That's China negotiating with US right now. And I pretty, they're negotiating with the World Health Organization on the kind of restrictions they want to give you to come and investigate what happened there. Yeah, I do think the tariffs are a bad idea if China's not being held accountable.

Let's talk about a common enemy. And this is something that you've addressed a few times. We've got to stop fighting amongst ourselves. Look at us. We have different opinions, but we're talking. We're meeting in the middle. We're dapping each other up. Who are our common enemies that we should be specifically focusing on?

China's number one enemy. China's number one enemy. Iran's got to be up there. And Russia's got to be someone you always have to be careful with. Anybody that has a nuclear bomb pointed at us is our enemy. So North Korea number four. Who's the top five? I think North Korea's Iran, Russia, North Korea. And one of them I'm going to say is an ally, but you have to be very careful with that is

maybe not an ally. I would be Turkey. What about the Germans? I'd be very, I'd be very careful with Turkey. You know what I said? Close, but I'd be very careful with Turkey. Turkey is a very, very interesting dynamic right now. They're part of NATO, I'd be very careful with Turkey. Turkey is a very, very interesting dynamic right now.

They're part of NATO, but they're very careful. They're aligned with them. There's a bad looking, wrong thing. They're in bed with enemies of US. Yeah, yeah. You got to be careful with them. Yeah. Got to be careful with them.

Venezuela, it was sad, but ironic when it was a Maduro or whoever in Venezuela said, look at the United States. Like this is who we're supposed to be taking lead from. Are you freaking kidding me? When Venezuela is saying that about us, we've got to clean up our ass. By the way, if you're enjoying today's podcast, can you smash that subscribe button?

We appreciate the love. So, okay, so that's that topic. Not me, you guys didn't say you didn't go too deep into the core pack in. You said, maybe, maybe not. You don't think it's gonna happen. You're thinking they're gonna push forward, maybe a little bit, but you don't seem like that's gonna be a priority of them.

I just don't think that's gonna be like a top priority. I think, so how high you think capital gains gonna go from 20%, it's at 20 right now How how you think they'll take what did he say it was going to put it to 32 What do you say has he given specific numbers? Yeah, well, we we addressed that didn't we I don't think he said specific numbers I think I think what's going to happen is the high The progressive taxes it's going to get rid of the 33 I believe it's going to go straight to 39 Well, listen something that I'm convinced of, whether it's Biden, whether Trump won this

thing, taxes are going up in the future. They've been way higher than it is now. Also, if Trump would have won, he would have raised tax. I'm not saying that Trump. But we think in the future, taxes are going up. So we may as well do it now. Stock market actually. Whether it's, whether it's now five years, 10 years, 20 years, with all the debt that

we have. So do it now while restaurants are going out of business. I'm not saying to do it. I'm not saying to do it. I restaurants are going out of business. I'm not saying to do it. Small business owners want out of business. Be with me. BVD, BVD, BVD. Are you saying you put in words in my mouth? Are you saying doing it, do it now?

I hope they don't do it now. Okay. What I'm saying is in the future now. Potentially yes. Yeah, I think so. I don't want them to. It's like I want higher taxes. It's given.

Higher taxes are coming regardless. I mean, anybody that voted for Biden voted for higher taxes period. Yes, I don't think, I don't think you're wrong with that. By the way, let's talk about Jack Ma, yesterday we talked about Jack. Not two days ago. Talk about Jack Ma, be a missing. A missing Jack. And then some stories came back saying, no, he's not missing, but he's laying low. This guy from what show was it that we were watching? He said, uh, you know, I've interviewed, I've interviewed him obviously multiple times and it's not the CNBC, it's not that he's missing,

but it's not that I spoke to him, but at the same time, he's not missing. I think he's laying low and he's laying low at this place. So he was very like safe, and it almost seemed like they were trying to save this stock from not taking a big hit and just kind of plain, not the stock, the reputation of Ali Baba if I'm taking a big hit, but they're plain, not the stock, the reputation of Alibaba if I'm taking a big hit.

But they're saying he's not missing, he's just laying below. It turns out he's kept himself out of the limelight intentionally after the speech he gave in October that appeared critical of China's financial regulators who is in turn shut down the record-setting initial public offering Alibaba sister company and group more recently they offered a company

to revamp its business prior to favors report the Wall Street Journal noted. It isn't uncommon for Chinese billionaires to disappear from the public eye for long periods during legal and regulatory investigations. That's what we know today, whether he disappeared or not, we don't know. They don't like the word disappeared. Right. Never forget where we are in America today. You could say whatever the hell you want, you could talk as much crap as you want about

Trump, about Pelosi, about Schumer, about McConnell, about Ted Cruz, about Lindsey Graham, wherever you want to say stuff about Tom, this, Pat, this, and you don't got to go in hiding. You can show your face proudly no matter what you say, unless you're a proud boy. But in China, you speak up. Your ass goes into hiding. Look at Jack Ma, the richest man in China is now, quote unquote, laying low. Something tells me he's in a re-education camp learning the communist manifesto of China. The thing that's surprising to me about Ma is he knew he was committing some sort of corporate suicide by doing this. By giving this speech, I speech, he had a chance to read over it a few times before he delivered it.

He had to know something was going to happen to him. China needs Jack Ma. He is a piece of collateral for them, for the rest of the world to see, hey, we can produce one of the richest people in the world. He built this huge tech company that's insanely big, but the rule in China, no matter how big of a pop culture sensation you are, or how famous you are, or how rich you are, you can't be bigger than the government. And I think that was his problem. He got a little bit too big,

and they're putting their thumb down on him now. But I guess he'll eventually resurface. I don't know, are they gonna restructure his company and chop it up? I'm not sure. But it is pretty fascinating how he was able to build that type of wealth in China. We'll see what it takes place with that.

All I know is over there, you do not call out the government, period. And you just kind of similar thing what you guys just said. You know, the interesting part about what you said, briefly in today's podcast on what happened with Iran, with the alarming threat to fly plane into capital investigation they got a recording a threat heard by multiple air traffic controllers in New York to fly plane into the US capital on Wednesday to avenge the death of Iranian terrorists, Qasem Soleimani, is being investigated CBS reported Wednesday audio of the threat which was obtained by CBS news, went as follows.

And it was a digitized voice recording. We are flying a plane into the capital on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged. The threat heard by American air traffic controllers was made Monday, the one year anniversary of Soleimani's death. So it's unclear who sent the threats, CBS programs, a morning while the government does not believe the warning of the attack is credible, it has been investigated as a breach of aviation frequency CBS has learned.

While the government does not believe the warning of an attack is credible, what do you mean while the government does not believe the warning of an attack is credible on a one-year anniversary? You best believe it's a credible source if they're saying it on a one-year anniversary. You don't just say, oh, it's just somebody playing a brag It's so funny. You got to take this stuff seriously. So what do you think's gonna happen here with this? Well, you've talked we've talked about this before about Basically the mindset of the leaders of my Iran. You remember what I said about it on the video that we did 11 and a half months ago

Remember what I said will happen. Tell us. I do remember what I said will happen You said something about all the verse verse. Watch what he said. What did I say will happen with this? So they're very like with rituals and dates. And a verse or even important and verse or dates. You know, you know what I said? I hope you go watch that and see what was said.

Here's what I said. I said, the day after if Trump loses and Biden gets elected, that day, they will plan their attack. I said that they, they know Trump's no longer in, Biden's in, they will plan their attack. Because they're not afraid of Biden, but they're afraid of Trump. Because Trump took a Soleimani. They're gonna avenge Soleimani. There's no question about it. They're going to avenge Soleimani. That is not going to be something that I'm going to stop. I'd love question about it. They're going to avenge Soleimani. That is not going to be something that I'd love to hear.

I think it's a diversion tactic. I think you keep this revenge for Soleimani out there. We're going to kill Trump. We're going to fly planes into your capital building. It keeps conversations off about them getting what they need to

build a nuclear bomb. Or getting Joe Biden to be favorable to them going forward. I think this is an awful lot of talk, you know, with not a lot of action. I'm not saying they're not capable of doing it. I'm not saying they're not pissed off or they're, they're planning something. My, my opinion, it's a little bit more political than just we vow revenge and we're going to do it no matter what it takes. Because there's, there's a lot of stake here with what they're trying to accomplish with the relationship they had with Obama, which I'm sure they'll think will continue with

Biden and how Trump treated them the last four years. Yeah, I mean, we talked about this a few episodes ago about Soleimani. We addressed this. I don't know, you've got some very strong. You said they're very proud people like they're there and they were with very like long memories. They're not just gonna let this thing. Race for impact. Yes.

Race for impact. You took out their number two guides. Not a regular guy. You took the guy that was poised to one day replace the leader of Iran. Like this is a guy that could have been the president, strategic, connected. Guy had boots on the ground, connected the soldiers connected with everybody and I rack yet so many strong connections And he was a strategic guy so You take a guy like that out. Yeah, like like when they took out the nuclear scientists their number one nuclear

Scientists, you know, he must have a good reason to do it. I mean Trump doesn't have a reputation of taking out Potential foreign leaders. I mean, there must have been some serious reasons why they had to do it at that point. No, I don't disagree. I do think there was strong reasons to do it. I just think they're also going to have strong reasons to say we're coming back to retaliators. What's going to happen with this? I pray to God, nothing else. Well, here's the one thing at least with Trump, he would warn them, hey, you try to do anything

about it. You're going to be, you're going to regret it forever. I don't see Biden making that similar threat. What's your prediction with Iran over the next couple of years? They're going to do something. And do they fear retaliation? Meaning, are they like, holy shit, if we do this, we're going to have USA, NATO, Israel, whoever come after us.

No, they, they fear them at all. Well, NATO, Israel, whoever come after us. Do they, do they fear them at all? Well, who has Iran's back now? Russia? Who else has Iran's back now? What is it? China. China's got Iran's. But you know, China, you know, much money, China, invest them to Iran. Have you seen the number? Do you know, do you know the number? No, tell me. It's a, it's a $400 billion number type of thing. We're not talking small number, right? Yeah. So, you know, know, yeah, they're protected now. When you're protected like that, you gotta be very careful if you go after them

because the protection is by people that are potentially the top threats to you. So you don't mess with them. So they feel a little bit more like, oh yeah, I'm gonna call the Gambino family on you. Oh yeah, okay, come on, say something to me. It's like that, they have protection now. Right, when you get protection, you push your weight a little bit. Say something, what, come on say something to me. It's like that. They have protection now. Right. When you get protection, you push your weight a little bit, say something.

What do you got to say? Go ahead. So they're playing a little bit aggressive. And plus China has loyal comrades because they pump so much money to them. They're indebted. They have to take their marching orders from whatever China tells them to do. What's China and Russia's relationship these days, you know? I don't know. I mean, I haven't read anything about it lately. I'm sure they're cautiously watching each other. They're on the border. Yeah, there you go.

China and Iran approach massive $400 billion deal. This is July 17, 2020. China is gonna give you around $400 billion. Why is China investing into Iran? So let me tell you, man, you can't. You're a humanitarian. Yeah, very humanitarian. Now of course, that's what it is. Humanitarian. So, so you know, again, Iran, hope this is a false alarm and nothing happens with it, but knowing them, they have a memory that they're going to come back and want to do something about it. I hope

I'm fully wrong when I'm talking about this. Amazon ended up buying a few jets and he thoughts on that. Amazon decides to come out and buy, first of all, like Kai said yesterday, great timing, because everything's on sale right now. Jets, you can pretty much take one from some of these airlines. Amazon buys 11 jets. For first time to ship orders faster, Amazon said Tuesday that about 11 jets from Delta

and WestJet airlines to boost its grown delivery network and get orders to shoppers faster. The company said it's first time it has purchased planes for its delivery network over the past a couple of years. Amazon has been leasing planes to build its fleet. Seattle-based Amazon has been working to deliver most of its packages and rely on UPS, USPS, and other carriers. Amazon say 11 planes.

The 11 planes they bought, all of which are Boeing 767-100s. We'll be converted to hold cargo instead of passengers. Yeah. What are they thinking? What are they doing? They're just, it's all logistics for them, moving this much freight. Yeah. Do you know that they moved over?

What was it? 1.5 billion packages just over the holidays. I mean, when you stop and think about that, you can order something on Amazon, and it's to your house in an hour or two hours. It's unbelievable. But yeah, those are some big planes. I think the timing of it's just interesting because I think the price of planes has drastically gone down.

So they were able to buy these things at a little bit better bargain. But it's just like when you go buy an airport and you see all these FedEx planes. Now you're just gonna see Amazon planes, you know, docked and everywhere. I, the number one vehicle I pass is an Amazon delivery van. I mean, probably 15 times a day. They're everywhere. And it's funny because it's been this slow build. It's just like kind of odd. All of a sudden, I've just been noticing how,

how many of them there are, but yeah. Well, it's fair to say I know who's stuck. I'm definitely shorting. And that's FedEx, UPS, they can't be happy to hear that Amazon is now buying their own jets and we're going to be doing their own thing. So because they've been leasing these other planes or using them, so their business is going to see a major decrease. Amazon during COVID came up like no other. And Elon Musk is apparently right behind Jeff Bezos about past about the past of his wealth. Crazy. Bezos gave $10 billion. Yeah. Record breaking gave 10 billion to climate change. Yeah. He committed to 10 billion.

The billion more or just the original 10 billion? No, he committed 10 billion, but he actually had a spend it last year. So his that worth probably reduced by 10 billion. And Elon Musk is three billion dollars behind him right now. The richest man in the world. The funny thing is, here's my big, Kai, can you pull up the, the, the, the time has like a current, yeah, I think it's been less than a hundred billion this year alone. Do you think these guys care? Are they keeping scoring? Would it bother?

I told you, it would totally bother Bezos. I think it's girlfriend would be pissed off at us. Of course. Of course. Yeah. Of course. You know, Musk is funny because he says he doesn't really have any like big spending habits. He doesn't really care about the money. That's at least what he said.

By the way, he just sold three more homes in California, one for 26 million, one for six million, one for 20, half million. So he sold all his homes. I think you wrote about it in VT post. Yeah. Yeah, so he had six homes. He had three in Bel Air. He sold them for 62 million.

Then he sold another handful of homes that he had six homes. He had three in Bel Air. He sold them for 62 million. Then he sold another handful of homes that he had in LA for like 42 million. So he wanted to not own any homes. He's going to rent this house in Pacific Palisades, $355,000 a month. I saw there's a story on VT Post on that too. It's sick. So why not, man, when you got to come to town, that place is insane. $355,000, not $350, $ $5,000 a month, Kai, kids.

It's a big difference. Now, what's it to him? $4 million. $4 million on a year that he made $100 million. You know, the funny thing is where could Elon Musk's wealth be one year from now? It could be maybe half of that. Yeah, what I was saying is I said he can go from first place to ninth place in no time because Tesla could have a major drop off and something happened to it.

But... Well, he was here. he'll be the first trillion. So let's check out this list. Jeff Bezos, 186 billion Elon Musk. That's a little bit off. That's, that's, that's off by a day. Go to the top guys. When is this one?

Is this from it? It'll usually save us. The first trillion air will be baesos. As a 5 p.m. Eastern of yesterday's trading day. So it is real time. Yeah, it is real time. All right. So he's close. He's not funny. It's as a 5 p.m. Eastern of yesterday's trading day. So it is real time. Yeah, it is real time. All right.

So he's close. Isn't that funny? It's like a scoreboard. It's like, it's like, it's a little bit. It's a little bit of a bad thing. I think they log on to see this. You think they're like, let me check this.

You want rank in today or they probably laugh at it. It's just like bamboo. Just like bamboo. What do I do? I go down to this. We got Jeff Bezos. We got Elon Musk number two. We got Bernard Arno. We got Elon Musk number two.

We got Bernard Arno from France number three. That's LVMH Bill Gates number four. Zuck number five. Zhong Shan Shan. This is new on the list. Poor guy. Last one or 76. You know, you know, you know, there is a number seven.

It's Buffett number eight. Bezos. He's got the next big thing. Maybe he's going to do an electric car. That's the top 10. Where is he? He's got the next big thing. Google boys at number nine and ten. Maybe it's going to do an electric car.

That's the top 10. Where is our friend, Jack Maugh on this list? Go to the 50s. He's 51. Do you think number 20, Pat? Oh, 57. Okay. Is there money in space exploration?

Is that a big deal for what Bezos is doing? They have, there has to be. I would imagine. To be the first one out there. You know what's crazy? It's all in mining asteroids. That's where they're saying, like the minerals and the metals that are on those floating asteroids in space,

they're so rich. That's where they say, if you get to that point, it's game over. Like, what's in those asteroids, Kai? Minerals, you have minerals, you have metals, things that we know and obviously don't know. And all of that gets used to technology, I mean, values. Leave it to our 22 year old brainiac.

As soon as soon as someone gets up to the next day, they're must be. I mean, it's the only thing I'm supposed to be. I'm supposed to be. Because he had a good teacher. Yeah. Well, he has a library. Shout out to my senior year high school teacher, Mr. Mulligan, you know what I find fascinating about Kai?

What? He doesn't have any sort of European accent. You speak like you've lived in America your whole life. Did you learn English at a very young age as a newbie? As mom's from Newport. Mom's from Newport. Oh, secrets out now. Yeah, that's right.

Kai, give us a little Norwegian before we go into the next story about all the, yeah, if you're still going to give others a, what was that? Is that considered a sexy? What did you say? That is word a lady's that is what you said. No, that is not where the nurse is at, y'all. You know, there's some languages that are sexy and some that aren't, you know, like, are you trying to say that Norwegian is in sex? Well, that's borderline.

All right, John. Let's have a sexy conversation. Yeah. The community in the space and right live. I saw him. We saw him perform one time and he did Bill Clinton. Me and John to laugh about this joke 15 years later. So he's up there, yeah, he's just kind of like chill. He's like, yeah, I'm German, my wife's German.

Oh, she, you know, it's not the sexiest language in the world. You know, my wife, when she's feeling a little frisky, you know, she'll come up behind me and go, don't get speaking hoggots, not sexy at all not exactly getting in the mood not real sexy. Oh my gosh Germans So I know that we know I don't I don't you guys notice Adam was down a little bit yesterday afternoon I don't know if you guys caught that or not. It was a little bit down a little bit yesterday afternoon when the news came out about The you know Kanye Weston Kim Kardashian. I saw my I It was a little bit down a little bit yesterday afternoon when the news came out about Kanye West

and Kim Kardashian. I saw him a little bit. Yeah, broke my heart. But you seemed not opportunistic. You seem like there was, in a prior podcast, you have given Kim some love. So what do you think about Kim and Kanye getting the divorce?

Or is that official? Well, I mean, that's public info. Looks like it's happening. Do you know how many kids they have together, by the way? Is it four? Four kids together. Yeah, four kids. Together.

Wow. Yeah. You know what, I found interesting yesterday, I saw Adams changing the way he spells his name. It's K, A, D, A, M, soft K. Cat him. Cat him. Getting ready.

Keeping that K crew together. Cat him, Sosney. Shout out to the co-boy mafia. KMK. Yeah. No, but honestly, what do you think about it? You, you, you, you, you, I told you the conversation I had the last conversation. They crew together. The car on Sasna shout out to the co-boy mafia, co-boy mafia. Yeah. No, but honestly, what do you think about it? You, you, you were, I told you the conversation I had the last conversation I

would say. Well, you, you surprised when he got the word or did you have some, Kai told me he broke the news to me. He said, guess who's getting a divorce? He goes, I'll give you three guesses. I was like, he's a big news. I go on in your Trump number one. Who else did I guess, Kai?

I guess someone else. I don. And who else did I guess, Kai? I guess someone else. I don't know who it was, but, um, and he goes, I'll give you one more guess. And this is like this hit, it hits close to home to you. I said, Oh, damn, Kim and Kanye. But I told you this, what are the last conversation? We all know that one of my best friends, Chris Humphrey's married. You're with the last week. Yeah.

I was with Chris last week with his new girlfriend. We heard Miami. I was in the wedding, the whole thing. And the last conversation I had with Kim, she says, I envisioned myself as an Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor was married how many times? Eight or nine times. So basically I was like, oh,

this is the last conversation I had with her, however long ago. And she said, like, I'll be married a bunch of times. So this is now number three, and she'll be going on number four. The question is who's next? Yeah, right. Yeah. She seems like the type of person that likes to be married. You wouldn't think you'd get into a relationship, have four kids and not think it would last for a while. So, but, you know, he's kind of gone off for a crash. I mean, she's been with him

for, yeah, almost nine years. Yeah, for sure. That's, that's, that's long for her. By the way, you know, Elizabeth Taylor married Richard Burton twice. Yeah, exactly married divorce, married divorce. So you're saying there's hope for my buddy Chris. Well, no, what I'm not. So it's 50 days. So here's a here's a great. Here's a here's a crazy, crazy, crazy question. And see what you say to this.

Who do you think she will get remarried? Who? Who do you think she will get remarried? Who do you think she'll get married? I know who it won't be. Who? A white guy. Okay. So who do you think she'll get married?

I mean, I went there. Who do you think she'll get married? Read a name. Okay, so question to the audience out there. Would you be interested in marrying Kim? Here's the catch. You gotta pay for for her kids. You got to raise her kids You got to do with Kanye's the stepdad. Well, I do have to pay from she's got nothing to say and that's the catch because who's gonna be like I'll take down Kim I don't think she needs your money though. I don't think she I don't think Kim is marrying to because she needs your money

The kind of girl that it doesn't want a man who's like I Profile yeah, yeah, like bring it bring in want a man who's like, high profile. Yeah, strong, bringing, bringing the heat. She's going to want somebody that's got strong personality. Okay. Yeah. So it'll be an athlete or performer. Maybe someone that's definitely in the public eye in a big way. Um, Ronnie James. 10 years. I'm not sure. Maybe. See, I think she's gone past the athlete. She did the athlete thing, the Reggie Bush, Chris, she's gone to the rapper thing. I think she's going to go more the political right prestigious. She wants to be a lawyer. She's like a little bit more clout, you know,

like not the rapper kind of clout, the politician, the investor, the billionaire kind of clout. I think she's thinking next level. Just don't think you're on musk top. I'm not on musk type. There you go. There you go. Obama divorces Michelle. He marries Kim Kay. Now, that's a power couple right there. That kind of meant to, I don't think Obama's going anywhere. By the way, I think Michelle runs the pants in that family. However, I do think that's the type that's that's that's that's that again. You're just a family. I went there. I went there. I went there. You know, they, they just think that's the time. Don't say that again. You're just a friend of a few people. I went there. I went there.

I went there. I just think that that's the route that she would go. A black, high up politician who, like a Michael Steele, was the former R&C chair, a van Jones. Who else we got on? Yeah. The people are saying that on social media, they're throwing her with Van Jones. Really?

Yeah, they're like, the hope and it happens. That'd be a good reality. She's gonna capitalize on it somehow. She's so smart. But I think she has made a little transition where she really does want to make a difference in the world. She sprung a few people for you. Are you a fan?

I am. I am. Anybody picking? I'm not like, there's a difference. I'm like, I like him. I've hung out with him. I know certain hours not to call you because you're watching, keeping up with Cardenas.

That's why you can't call him when he's watching. I don't watch that stuff. I don't like, I never, I mean, if I'm with a girl and they're watching it, yeah, I'll watch it. But I don't want, I'm not a fan like that, but I'm, I actually am a fan, I got, like, she was a friend at one point. So like, I like her.

I'm nothing bad to say. Are you rooting for her? Yeah. Are you rooting for her? She's not rooting against her. The whole family, I'm rooting for her. I mean, if you don't like him, don I like her. I'm not saying for her. Yeah. Are you rooting? She's out rooting against the whole family. I'm rooting for them. I mean, if you don't like them, don't watch them. I know I love I've never watched keeping up with Kardashians once. I don't even know what the show's like. Dude, you're Armenian. What are you doing? I've never seen it. I know one time. I was a restaurant called Kate Mantellini in Woodland Hills. And I'm sitting there and it was a Chloe and Lamar that said, what are these guys doing? We're

shooting keeping up with Cardi. Oh, that said, what are these guys doing? We're shooting, keeping up a card. Oh, that's cool. I used to eat there like five times a week because it's right next to the office I had. But I am a very big fan of seeing her kick some major ass. I just, I'm a fan. I'd love to see Kim make a major come up constantly. There's something very attractive,

not even looks white. There's something very attractive about her personality, very, the way she carries herself, the way she does the interviews, the way she conducts herself. I don't think that family's going away and I'd be so curious to know what their next move is.

Did you, this is actually a perfect combination of politics, pop culture, rap, business. Did you hear what Kanye called Chris Jenner? Yeah, Chris John Oon. Chris John Oon. Yeah. She's the type ship. Yeah. That's pretty clever.

Chris John Oon. He said that on Twitter, he said that publicly, you know, what was that? She's the type ship. Yeah, that's pretty clever. Yeah, Chris John. He said that on Twitter. He said that public. Publicly publicly. I think it was on Twitter. Yeah. Well, he blasted pretty, uh, pretty ballsies. So what happens to Kanye? So you're saying his days are no. So, so I mean, he called out his mother-in-law. It was the L. Hefe. All right. So we talked about Kim. What happens with Kanye now? Because I don't know if you know this.

He didn't win president. Sorry. You know, I broke it. He's a genius creator. I think he gets, you know this. He didn't win. President. Sorry, you know, I broke. I think he's a genius creator. I think he gets, you know, he's got that place in Montana, just creating songs, albums, go back to that. I mean, he's not probably looking for a big high profile relationship. And I would doubt that he has any struggles in flying women when needed. So, but he did say one good girl is worth a thousand bitches. So I think a guy like I think a guy like, I think a guy like Kanye, it maybe feels like he got overshadowed and he's going, man,

I've done some things in my life and it's all forgotten because I'm with this crazy family. I got a prediction. I just thought of it. I think this Trump Kanye 2024 thing is happening. It's happening. They're both gonna be single. They're both gonna be divorced and they're going to end up together. Maybe that last part was

a little for a fetch. However, the other part, I think, is I think they're going to be Trump and Kanye get a nice little bright future for it. It's kind of like the Ebony and Ivory version of Frank Sinatra. Who's got a bigger upset? Who's got a bigger upset? Kim or Kanye? Kim. I'm close. Not even close. I haven't really. Yeah. Really. I agree. Do you guys agree or no? I think she's got more mass appeal than Kanye. I don't get some more ass appeal. That you know, I don't believe you've never watched one episode. I've never watched that. You can never put it on the TV. I never watch is it. Mara watches it. Maral watches it. But I'm a huge fan. Teakron. I couldn't tell you, but I know Moral's always talking about,

you know, she, she, she's Armenian. She's Armenian. She's a fan of them. Yeah. She can use as her model, JLo and A. Rod. Who would have ever thought they would be together? And that seems to kind of work. You mesh these two superstar brands and, but somebody, somebody, somebody, we think she'll be with? Somebody commented to rock. Another person said, Mike Tyson. Somebody said, Lin Wood. Lin Wood.

Who he wouldn't, she wouldn't end up with Mik Mill. Interesting. She said someone said, but she was about to do it. Someone Mik Mill. Someone said Jack Ma, Jeff Bezos. P. Diddy.

Jeff Bezos type. Who else we got here? Hillary, Diddy. Jeff Bezos type. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, who else we got here? Hillary, Vaughn Miller. Vaughn Miller is available. Yeah, Vaughn Miller. Yeah, I know. He just had a bad breakup.

I think she's done the athlete thing. She's get it. These guys times of numbered. I think at this point in her life, by the way, she just turned 40. Uh, if the rock hadn't just got married, I could actually see that. Combining those two brands brands changing the world. I think that's the level that she's on. That's the level she's on.

If her and rock were together, you know the rock married on Armenian. He's got an Armenian wife now. Really? Yeah. So you like our meeting. So getting ready for Kim. Yeah, I think I don't, I mean, look Kanye's upside. What's his upside? Another album, right?

Like Ain't Nobody, he has no, nobody's voting for that guy. I think Kim can attach herself to a high profile person, whether it's a must type, a rock type. And I would not be far from that. You send her a text. I can't remember how to say it. You know, you should tend her to say, sorry about the news. I think it's me again, it's been like a decade. Sorry about the news. You need anything. I don't know how to say it. You know, you should tend to take the ice. Sorry, but I'm like, I've been like a decade. Sorry about the news. You need anything. Have you

thought about Bitcoin? Crazy. No, no, I think we'll go. Okay, what's the last story here before we wrap up? So the last story, how about your boy Tim Cook, his salary? Yeah, Tim Cook. Okay, so we got Tim Cook here. Tim Cook is salary surprisingly low. He in 14.8 million dollars in 2020, not counting stock awards. Okay. $40 million salary 2020 according to 2020 proxy statement that Apple filed with the SEC Cook earned a base salary of $3 million in addition to $10,731,000 in incentives, awarded for its performance, apples performance exceeded the target performance goals for net sales and operating income leading to a total payout of 179% total payout, opportunity

for Cook and other Apple executives, Cook also received $1 million in other compensation for $12,14.7 million. That included $17,000 in four one-k-k contributions, term insurance life payment and $115,000 vacation payout, security expenses and the amount of $470,000, $432,000 in personal air travel expenses. Apple requires Cook to use a private airplane for security reasons.

In 2019, he took home 11.5 million dollars. So that means it's a raise. However, we looked at it yesterday over the course of 2020 Cook's net would climb to over one billion dollars overpaid or underpaid. He's probably either perfectly paid or underpaid. He one thing the board turned him down on. He was negotiating. He wanted to get a new iPhone 12 and those fancy pods. They couldn't afford it. They're just too expensive. They would not throw that into that incentive package. You know, he should create a CEO school. He should do one of those masterclasses. He is really a great CEO of you ask me. He stays under the radar screen, doesn't get too political. You know, you don't look at him.

And you think he's radical one way or another like some of these other CEOs. His parents live in the same house that he grew up in in Alabama. You know, he's on the board of directors of Nike. There's just a lot about, a lot about this guy that I don't like or that I like about him. Here's a funny story about Tim Cook. Apple was trying to recruit him. These headhunters were reaching out to him in the late 90s. He hung up on him. He said he had one five minute conversation with Steve Jobs, came over there, came running and never left. So it's interesting because he was kind of, you know, pretty successful in the tech industry and they were trying to get him.

He had no interest in it until he had a conversation with Jobs, but this was, this was also when Apple was struggling because he came in and helped with the manufacturing and logistics arm, but they were struggling. So what he came in and then obviously Steve Jobs did his thing and he convinced him that this would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. No, that's cool. That's a good story.

You just, you look at Tip Cook, you don't think baller, you don't think self-serving, you just think a really solid, smart, cheap, I'm a big fan of him. Adam. I mean, is the CEO of the biggest company in the world? I mean, what's bigger than Apple? Amazon, Walmart, what's bigger than those guys? Mark and Cher. It's competing, it's almost not in the number, share it's competing a Walmart's not in the number

But it's it's Apple and it's Amazon. Okay Gay like like awesome. You're the number one CEO. That's like I mean, no one ever talks about that But like that's for the gay community. They should be like open, you know, a gay CEO fortune 100 gangster Yeah, you know, he's a billionaire. It's like the salary, whether he makes $10 million a year, $20 million of 14 or 17, it's like irrelevant. But the most important thing that he is getting is his $17,000 401k match. That's great for him. Congratulations.

I know that's a big thing. What kind of life insurance coverage you think he's got? They said term life insurance. What do you think amount of coverage the guy like that should have? 100 million? Should have. You're only doing it for taxes by the way, you know.

Yeah, yeah, stay. We just talked about that. Stay planning taxes. 100 million, yeah. 100 million. 50 to 100 million bucks. Minimum. If I was him I'd have more,

but you know, you need to get it underwritten, but say, how much 100 million? Listen, to me, you know, there's not enough life insurance to get for a rich person. Get as much as you can get if you can get it. Get it. I probably get a quarter of a billion dollars of life insurance. But why term? Why he asked? Yeah, why would he ask term?

Should have an IUL of some sort. Should have a permanent type of insurance problem. Tim, listen, if you're listening, we've got a couple life agents out there. Oh, that's where you're going with this. Okay, I got it. I see where you're going. You know, the greatest words in business required to fly on a private jet.

If you could get that into your contract if you're anybody, I don't think it gets any better than that. By the way, I support it. I think he needs to be. You saw yesterday, Romney was flying over to DC and he got heckled on the flight. Ridiculous people video recording him. What did you think about that?

I mean, number one, why are you flying in a commercial flight on the way to DC on January 6th? Like, if there's any day that you bust out your credit card and you spend some money on a private flight, it's January 6th on the way to DC during the stop to steal march. But I know we can show basically he got heckled, ran up on in the airport. And then when he on the flight, people were shouting like crazy traitor, this, that, the other, you know, you got to hand it to Romney. He's a man of conviction. You know, whether you like him or not, he is doing what he believes. There's a picture of him

just sitting there. You don't think he's a man of conviction? Like, would you expect to see a US Senator doing that? That is kind of funny. Good job, Tom. Don't tell me what to do. Please, such a mascot, it gets required by law in the circle. I'm standing six feet away. I'm sorry.

It's a pride of the circle. Okay, I'll tell you what, because you know what? I'm gonna go ahead and do it, because I want to have a chat with you. Why aren't you supporting President Trump? I do support President Trump. That's what I forget. I agree with. You're not supporting him. I'm sorry, I do agree with. Many of the things he's has for and I support this thing. Are you going to support him in the fraudulent votes?

For the election? No, I'm not. Why not? It's going to be a real long time. I'm sorry. Can you say that again? It's so long. You heard the guy said it's going to be a real long flight. The Constitution. Kai, do you have the flight footage? I'll follow the Constitution. And I'll follow the Constitution.

I'll follow the Constitution. Well, you haven't supported him, and you didn't even support him in the election. No, I did not. Why? For reasons like 20th time. You were voted in as a conservative to represent the conservative constituents. Period. It is. You're voted in to represent us. You work for us.

Am I wrong? Exactly. And I am from Utah. I voted. I know. There's a lot of people that didn't vote for you Just sitting at the freaking gate, bro. This guy Mitt Romney just sitting at the gate They didn't watch you in there anyway, so to be honest with you I wouldn't be surprised if if you weren't even What do you think about the fact that he's even entertaining the conversation? It's amazing. I'm impressed. I'm impressed for him. Yeah.

Go to the point of hand on the plan. He could not have handled that. Is there a video on the plan? And you know what, people are too empowered. Have a little respect for people that are in public office. Are you a fan of a man? Well, now I am. I was impressed by that.

I am. You like that. You know what? I thought there was nobody out of central casting that could have been a better president than him. When he was running, he looked like a president, he acted like one. I don't know what happened how he didn't win

well he ran into uh... no no no no there's a story behind why he didn't win on the third debate he could have brought up in benghazi but his advisors told him that you're not getting good support from single women so do not push in benghazi too much and he didn't he back down and uh... he lost the debate he lost the election that He lost the election. That was impressive.

Do you have the one with the planes? If you go on, just go on YouTube buddy, just don't, you're stressing yourself out. Go on YouTube, type in Romney, Romney Plane. Plane, there you go. Right there, second one, second or third one. Who's she? A nurse. She's a nurse. State farm. Here's Romney on the flight. Is he at least not flying in first class? He's in a middle,

he's in a middle row. What's he doing? Doesn't even have first class on that? It looks like at the back of the plane. There's no way, way, way, which one is he? You don't see him. That's a Delta flight. It's a small plane. No, it's okay. All right. Wow. Anyway, they're on the plane. They're just talking trash in the whole time.

Buddy, get a first class seat sitting the front at least. I mean, fly the plane or something, sit in a middle row and Middle seat row 26. I mean, he's been responsible with taxpayers money. So guys 2024. 2024. Who's the leading candidate for the Republicans? Ted Cruz Sharkyastik or serious. I mean based on everything he's doing right. Well Trump is number one clearly. You're saying Trump is number one. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Trump Donald Trump Jr. or Mike Pence. Oh my gosh, imagine Trump Jr. and Pence debating. I don't, guys, I mean, I still think it's Trump.

I think Ted Cruz does have a chance. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think that Donald Jr. has anywhere near the swag, the credibility or anything that his dad has. Just because his name is Don Trump Jr., I don't think he's got it like that. He's got a built in base number one. And I think his dad is done. I think there's no more politics after yesterday.

You think he's done. Done his politics for sure. I think this wasn't good. I think he's coming back, bro. That guy, that guy is. Oh, I think he's done, done his politics for sure. I think this wasn't good. I think he's coming back, bro. That guy is, that guy is, oh, I think he's looking at old ash sleepy Joe by a new 78 years old. Trump says, I got more vigor than that guy. I'll be back in four years. Let me tell you the left is going to have three years to come out with new laws and regulations to prevent Trump from doing what he did last time. They're going to have three years to have private conversations with Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, everybody.

You say, if this happens, you have to shut them down early. So it doesn't create momentum. So the left will prevent momentum from happening by striking up deals with Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. That's my prediction. I think they have three years to protect him to me because right now what the left has to do in the next three years is to eliminate potential candidates.

Whoever that is, you have to start early, not late. And whatever you need to do, you need to do next three years is to eliminate potential candidates. Whoever that is, you have to start early, not late. And whatever you need to do, you need to do next two years because you can control all sides. But doesn't the right need to do that also? No, they're right, you're going against Biden. You don't have any. If I didn't run again in four years, dude. If I was gonna be 82 years old.

So what do you think? Limpin' along. First of all. You're acting like he ran this time. What do you mean? Wait, what what is running mean he's sat home? There is no running he did ever come on pat. He did every day not get off. There was no campaigning every debate There's two debates. Oh my gosh. You did everything. How many of them? What do you mean there was like? 17 the primary it's like five flights

Oh my thing for you. You might be saying yell that on the flights. That's a lot of stuff. Stop it. So you're under seven days. Listen, you're under seven days. He works seven days. It was a hard seven days. He kicked us.

Meaning he didn't run. So he's not going to have to be running. Like there's no running going out with the new strategy. Again, you don't have to, if you're running against Don Trump, you don't have to run that hard. Like a ham sandwich could have beat it. Donald Trump. Trump.

If there's no COVID, he would have won slam down. So naive. If there's no COVID, it would not even been close. COVID and the shutdown and the restaurant and the economy, all of that is what hurt with you on the okay, that's not in his control. It's not in his control. Okay. So he would have been a two-termer. He would have been a two-termer president without COVID, but I'm saying to like a thousand bucks says right here that he ain't a two-termer. He would have been a two-termer president without COVID, but I'm saying to like that. And I got a thousand bucks says right here that he ain't a two-termer right here. Based on COVID I said. I agree with you.

I agree with you. And I bet that thousand dollars would COVID. So I knew even with that, I'd be fine. All right, before we wrap up, Tom, you were at 30% 48 hours ago. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Where are you now, Tom? Ha, ha, ha.

Just give it to me straight. I'm at 30. It's not January 20th. I need evidence of buying it in the White House. I'm out of control. 30% I'm standing with it. Okay, Pat, you were at 5% are you at least at 4% now? Are you still at 5?

You paid the towel? Where were you at? If I paid a thousand, it's over. I should tell you where I'm at. Tom, Tom's at 30%. So all my friends out there who still think that Trump 100% is going to win 100% bro. Trump 2021.

No, victory. Still at 100%. Let it go. I'm not even taking a victory. I'm asking my friends out there. Do they still think Trump is 100% going to win to the to the mega folks out there.
