We were out of town, crazy stuff happened where we were at, when we were at Aspen, we went to a movie theater, literally the movie theater is called ISIS, movie theater. No joke, we'll tell you about it. We'll show you the picture of it.

Starting point is 00:01:02 And then all of a sudden, we're out on the mountain, skiing, snowboarding, let me rephrase the statement, attempting to snowboard, because it sounds a little too natural. And I get a text on a video from Mario thinking, this is a joke, like they hired somebody from the city to come and save this deer's life. And the next thing you know, no, Mario literally saves the deer to the point, but by the way, I'm not, I'm actually not kidding with you.

Starting point is 00:01:29 The entire city knew about it. No, no, hear me out. The owner of the house shows up, says we just want to thank on behalf of the city for you guys saving the deer's life. The next day 200 elks have an emergency meeting. They still have a video. I have the video, I'll show you all this.

Starting point is 00:01:46 Mario got the key. I've heard of the elks. You'll see, but maybe it was a clip from the movie. I don't believe, like, I don't believe the world. I don't believe Mario's getting all of that stuff that's going on, all that stuff that's going on. Yesterday I posted a tweet, middle of the night, everybody's six, I'm like, what happened,

So, having said that, let's get into one of our stories.

Starting point is 00:09:28 What story do we want to get into? I think Robbie were talking about the audience wants to do Epstein. Let's go into that one. Bill Clinton to be unmasked, as Doe 36 and identified more than 50 times in Epstein's doc dump. This is a New York post story. Robbie, if you can find that clip as well, that'd be great, if not, I'll text it to you

Starting point is 00:09:46 when I pass it over to somebody. So Bill Clinton, be identified as John Doe 36 in court documents, linked to Jeffrey Epstein's case, appearing more than 50 times in the records related to Virginia's. 2015 lawsuit, the reference largely concerns efforts to compel Clinton to testify against Epstein and Jelaine Maxwell. No illegal activity by Clinton is expected to be indicated in the documents.

Starting point is 00:10:12 The unsealed documents are expected to reveal over 170 individuals with ties to Epstein, including accusers, alleged victims and those associated with his inner circle, Prince Andrew, accused by Virginia as well of sexual involvement, is one of the notable names of documents. May also include testimony from Jane Doe 162, about a 2001 party at Epstein's Townhouse, where Virginia alleged she was introduced, she was instructed to have sex with Prince Andrew.

Starting point is 00:10:42 So Vinnie, what new story do we have on this? And what should people be expecting coming up this week? Well, I tweeted this last night, Pat, this is what is the scariest thing about this whole situation. If today they release something with proof that Bill Clinton had sex with the underage girl, guess what would happen to him, Pat?

Starting point is 00:11:02 Absolutely nothing. And that's a sad fact. He's untouchable, his wife is untouchable, Bill Gates is untouchable. Nobody can mess with these people, Pat. And I want you guys to know this. These are in older emails, a high ranking JP Morgan executive,

Starting point is 00:11:18 sent an email cracking a joke about Epstein showing up to a concert with Miley Cyrus when she was 15 years old. These are the top brass at Chase. They were saying they allegedly opened private banking accounts and credit card accounts for 18-year-olds said to be Epstein's inner entourage joking he was their sugar daddy. And JP Morgan knew he was a pedophile. All these people know that they work with them. And that's why they just had to pay recently this in 2023,

Starting point is 00:11:42 $290 million, like hush money to all these victims. them, and that's why they just, they had to pay recently in 2023, $290 million, like hush money to all these victims, but I just think, even if it comes out, nothing's gonna happen to them. And that's the sad, scary thing is that he is untouchable. Nothing is gonna happen to him. Time, we have any thoughts on this.

Starting point is 00:12:01 Well, the list of names doesn't seem, like it's told the same thing new. We knew Randy Andy was there. Randy Andy. That's what they call it. No, no, that's what the tabloids call. Prince Andrew. Yeah, that's the headline over their daily mail, Randy Andy. And his mom was upset. God rest her soul before the queen passed away. So we've kind of seen all this come and go, and it doesn't see anything new, the number of trips, 50 times, maybe Clinton can say it's 25,

Starting point is 00:12:32 because that was round trips, or something, but I don't see anything new here. I don't see any like brand new names. But guys, you'll question the whole path. Why are they redacting the criminals in this? Like, okay, I hide the people. I don't want any of the women or underage boys. I don't know, all these names,

Starting point is 00:12:47 obviously keep those people. I don't want them public. Every male that went there, especially after he was convicted of pedophilia, I wanna see their names. Why are we protecting these people? I don't understand that. Well, they're gonna release it.

Starting point is 00:12:59 So if you go to the story, Rob, go to the story on Newsweek, which I think they're probably doing the best job on this, I'll send it to you. The title of it is Jeff if each type in I just send it to you Jeffrey Epstein's list of associates. Type in Jeffrey Epstein's list of right there number three number three. Uh, list of it there.

Starting point is 00:13:19 Okay. Go up. Keep going up. Obviously, I'm gonna put Trump on the front page. Keep going up. Yeah, of course. Of course, keep going up. Keep going up. Keep going up. keep going up. Obviously, we're gonna put Trump on the front page. Keep going up. Yeah, of course. Keep going up. Even though he didn't go to the island. Keep going up, keep going up, keep going up, keep going up.

Starting point is 00:13:28 So is this the one? Yeah, right there, right there. Look at that demon. He looks like a demon. So who is the sociologist? Okay, what's the date on this wrap? See if this is one one. December 20th.

Starting point is 00:13:38 No, no, I have a one, one, one. I just sent you. So if you go to this one. So it's interesting. By the way, go up on this story. Look what the title was on this one. Look what they put on you go to this one. So so it's interesting by the way varying go up on this story look what the title was on this one Look what they put on the title on this one look what we just accidentally found Jeffrey Epstein's list of associates sparks. Oh, no Conspiracy theory this is just 12 days ago, okay?

Starting point is 00:14:00 Now watch the one that just came out yesterday right put, put the one that I just sent you yesterday. What happened, Newsweek? Why are you changing the title? Now it's no longer a conspiracy. List of associates, what we know as names to be revealed. So again, they use the same exact picture. Go a little lower, what has happened? And so let's look at the questions, Rob.

Starting point is 00:14:21 Let's see what questions they got. So will there be any new allegations? Yes, okay, so that's the new thing until that time, there's nothing new. There will be new. This upcoming batch of court documents will include names of additional abstinence associate,

Starting point is 00:14:34 alleged perpetrators and co-conspiratory. Okay, that's good. Why are they being released now because a Loretta Prescott, the judge, held in December, there was no legal justification for continuing to keep anonymous to hundred fifty wow okay so she's like we got a release it fine go to the next question

Starting point is 00:14:52 next question is what where are the documents coming from their coming from a loss of file by virginia jr. free which we just talked about an alleged traffic in victim uh... against abstinence jailed former girlfriend, Jelaine Maxwell. She has alleged that Maxwell arranged for her to have sex with Epstein with other prominent men, including, okay, keep going lower. Are the names of Epstein's associates already known?

Starting point is 00:15:16 There has been extensive litigation in the Epstein case and many names have already been known. They include those accused of wrongdoing, but also people who work for Epstein flew on his plane or Visited his home somewhere mentioned, okay. Are there any names of particular interest? Yes, the court will court the court records will contain details of Jane though 162 Okay, so we know that we keep going a lower Is Bill Clinton likely to be complicated in the wrong doing? No.

Starting point is 00:15:45 She made no allegations of wrongdoing by Clinton, and there is no indication the seal records contain any wrongdoing on his part. Okay. Could this be embarrassing for Clinton? Yes. Because she met Clinton in Little St. James, Epstein's private island, Maxwell had claimed in court

Starting point is 00:16:02 that Clinton had never been there. Whoops. Okay, this is a mistake. Which version is correct? Flight locks you. So look, I mean, this is a real deal that's coming out. Okay, this is a real deal that's coming out for whatever reason, a bunch of different people were writing yesterday

Starting point is 00:16:15 that this person's, by the way, some of the names like Spielberg's on this list. There's some very interesting names. Oh yeah, I mean, Tom, everybody went there and the problem is it was post pedophilia prostitution conviction and Bill Gates, pal. I don't know if people people have to like really look at these old videos I sent Rob a video path when they interviewed I forgot the woman's name

Starting point is 00:16:37 She interviewed Melinda Gates and if you see towards the end of this one minute clip she goes I saw him I met him. I felt evil towards the end of this one minute clip. She goes, I saw him, I met him, I felt evil personified. Like, that's the reason she left them. Bill Gates, listen, don't be fooled by this whole, I talk like Kermit the Frog and here's vaccine, then he's a humanitarian. Can I show this? Listen to how this is going. She's looking, she had nightmares about meeting him. Go ahead. You know, it was also widely reported that Bill had a friendship or business or some kind of contact with Jeffrey Epstein

Starting point is 00:17:07 and that you were not, that that was very upsetting to you. Did that play a role in the divorce at all in this process? Yeah, as I said, it's not one thing. It was many things, but I did not like that he'd have meetings with Jeffrey Epstein. Wow. And you made that clear to him. I made that clear to him.

Starting point is 00:17:28 I also met Jeffrey Etch. One exactly one time. What did you? Yes, because I wanted to see who this man was. And I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door. He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. Even nightmares about it afterwards.

Starting point is 00:17:45 So, you know, my heart breaks for these young women because that's how I felt. And here I'm an older woman. My God, I feel terrible for those young women. It was awful. You felt that the moment you walked in, I didn't hear it was awful. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:58 And you shared that with Bill and he still continued to spend time with him. And you have the questions remaining about what Bill's relationship there was. Those are for Bill. That's for Bill. That's for Bill. That's for Bill.

Starting point is 00:18:10 That's for Bill. Think about this. She hasn't had on her shoulders. She met him one time, and she knew like, by the way, let me tell you what happened. Yesterday, the kids, we were watching a movie Tetris. Tom, have you seen this Tetris movie that just came out? Not yet.

Starting point is 00:18:22 OK, you have, I thought about you. You got to watch it. It's a Tetris movie that came out on Apple. And actually did a really good job about how the history of a Russia being involved, the mob being involved. And you know who was involved in the deal with Tetris? You know who?

Starting point is 00:18:34 Robert Maxwell. You know who Robert Maxwell was? Because he said just Robert Maxwell was Jolaine Maxwell's father. You know how the movie ends at the end with Robert Maxwell? Robert Maxwell didn't have a million dollars to pay Russia to win the rights to Tetris licensing because he was going bankrupt.

Starting point is 00:18:51 He ended up stealing 900 million dollars of pension funds from his people, from other people, ended up doing a five billion dollar whatever lawsuit. He dies, goes to jail, his son, who's in it as well, same thing he has issues, back in him up, and then his daughter. I mean, the genetics comes from a lineage of people that are doing some shady stuff here. So I don't know, I know a lot of people who are linked to this, I'm not, I don't know a lot of people that are linked to this, I know a lot of the people who are linked to this are probably sitting here this week talking to a bunch of lawyers because who else can you kill? But did you find that clip rob about the can you play that clip check this out?

Starting point is 00:19:31 Guy goes in asking for basic report on Epstein of the day check this out. Who is this man? This is his brother, right? This is his brother watch this. But you're in lower man lower man hat. Okay, but as it right now, you're telling me you can't find their PCR report. Not for the 10th of August 2019. Maxwell's not in it's not not Maxwell absolutely The problem is they're being run on why?

Starting point is 00:19:52 If it's supposed to be there, we'll find out the first you got to get the letters of an Administration before you can take them anywhere Yeah, because the date on here is the 10th of 19th today they found them they took them late in his day is because the date on here is the 10th of 19th. The day they found them, they took them these days. Well, then they might have taken them directly to the morgue. No, he was in the hospital. I have photobears with him in the hospital too.

Starting point is 00:20:12 Oh, well, you didn't tell me that. I'm just going by. You don't know, I understand. I'm just trying to explain, but I know. Yeah, well, I don't know what happened, but so far, he's not in the fine department database. Weird. I don't know what happened, but so far he's not in the fine department database weird. I don't know why Too many too many Listen man. The look is it so good?

Starting point is 00:20:35 Could they have taken him somewhere Well see he has a photograph of the fire department personnel He has a photograph of the Fire Department personnel. That doesn't, that doesn't. Judge, documentation. Yeah. What did he say I couldn't hear? He said that because you see the Fire Department, because you see the Fire Department personnel there,

Starting point is 00:20:54 that doesn't mean they provided documentation. They told me they did. I spoke to them. And they were the ones who suggested I get the PCR reports well Well, they're saying one thing but the computer is saying something. You get a puzzle right there. Go ahead Adam There is no telling how high up this goes and how deep this goes and what tentacles this will lead to There's no telling there's a lot of very rich

Starting point is 00:21:26 powerful what tentacles this will lead to. There's no telling. There's a lot of very rich, powerful, access-driven people who are basically behind closed doors doing everything they can to make sure the truth never comes out, okay? Did Epstein kill himself? We all want to know. Here's what we do know. This story is not going away. As much as the rich and the powerful

Starting point is 00:21:46 and the accessible want this gone. Okay, there's a yearning and a clamoring in American people and the people worldwide, they're like, not so fast, buddy. That ain't happening, am I watched? But always, always, I'm glad you brought up the Robert Maxwell Tetris thing. FTM, follow the money.

Starting point is 00:22:03 They always say access is power. Now, just because you went on Epstein's plane, doesn't make you guilty, because we all know that one of the major things he was peddling, not even money, not even access was blackmail, was extortion, was hush money, we know that. So RFK went on his plane, he admitted it twice with his kids, with his family.

Starting point is 00:22:21 Okay, cool. Nothing wrong with that. But we also know that last Wexler owner of Victoria Secrets who Whitney Webb has done an amazing job. She's been on the podcast with us a few times. I'm basically saying, what's going on here? Okay, Leon Black, owner of Apollo management, right? Multi, multi billion dollar asset manager paid him a half a billion out of the big. Consul, they don't know what that. So, we all know that access is power.

Starting point is 00:22:48 So, just if we understand the basic template is, hey listen, this guy's got money, follow the money, access is power, cool, we're gonna get on this plane, we're gonna do meetings, just because you're going to somebody's meeting, going on an island, doesn't make you guilty. Now, do I think Bill Clinton was on that island, probably banging some chicks instead of Hillary? Yes, does that mean that they were under 18?

Starting point is 00:23:11 We don't know. But the reality is this, and as the bottom line, the story's not going away, the people want answers. Okay, I agree that the story's not going away, but I'm telling you right now, when it's that high pattern, that's that powerful evil, because that's what it comes down to. You know, you know, Vinnie, people thought the mob was never going to come down. People in, you, you weren't new, your people thought the mob was never, ever.

Starting point is 00:23:33 They, what was the movie called? The Untouchables, right? Kevin, everything was the untouchables. You can never touch these guys. They have them in their pocket. They have the judge in their pocket. They have the cops in their pocket. they have the cops in their pocket, eventually someone's gonna say,

Starting point is 00:23:48 bro, I'm not doing it. You know what the story was about Tetris? One of the guys that worked for Gorbachev yesterday, and when I'm watching a movie, one of the guys in a movie that was working for Gorbachev was negotiating a side deal with Robert Maxwell to get a check from him, and he kept wanting to take the deal away

Starting point is 00:24:05 from the other honest guy. So eventually the girl that's chasing and saying, why do you want this deal to be with Maxwell? And he's like, what are you doing? Isn't it Russia first? Isn't homeland country first? And then eventually he publicly gets caught. The fact that he was getting money from Maxwell directly in a communist nation, she finds out she tells Gorbachev boom, he goes down.

Starting point is 00:24:26 Moral to stories. When you try to pay off so many people, eventually one person's gonna be like, I didn't get my money, what are you gonna do now? So, and when their kids involved, when there's kids involved, I don't know. You may be right, you may not be right, but the fact that judges,

Starting point is 00:24:43 would you have thought a year ago, that judges are gonna come and say, now I wanna know the list, would you have thought a year ago that judges are gonna come and say, now I wanna know the list, would you have thought that? I wouldn't have thought that, but I understand the mafia part, because you know, mafia, Pat, when it's presidential, when it's banks, when it's those guys protect,

Starting point is 00:24:58 like, do they want more powerful than the mafia? That's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying. But you know what, he's taking you guys on the same page. Oh yeah, 100% so all, and at the end, just to close it, Pat, the only thing that gives me happiness in here is that God, we might not hold them. Our courts might not hold them accountable.

Starting point is 00:25:14 God at the end of the day will hold their feet to the fire. Trust me, that's the only way it makes me feel good. I'm looking forward to the rest of the names and the dates so that people like our friend, redjournalist can now run down the trails, paint the picture, put it all together like a puzzle. But right now, it's like we're getting this big tease.

Starting point is 00:25:31 Hey, there's more names, there's more names. You're gonna unseal them and they're like, pretend you're, we know that name. And that's why I say there was, to me to my ears, there was nothing new yet. Bill Clinton, okay, now it's 50 times. Okay, well, we kinda knew he was there more than once. All of that is there.

Starting point is 00:25:44 I wanna see the rest of the names, And I want to see some journals paint the pictures and run down just like Whitney Webb has done because now you've got something to work with and to go chase. And I'm going to get Whitney Webb on standby, buddy. All right, let's go to the next story. So that one is the first story. Before we go into the next story, we got a bunch of them here. Let's go to our sponsors first American Hartford Gold. So look, I've been the financial industry since 9-11, the day before 9-11, and I've owned stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, crypto, gold. You name it, I've owned it.

LA office building sells for $153.5 million. $15 million less than its sale price a decade ago. This is a market watch story. Page nine. Page nine.

Starting point is 00:27:19 Here we go. LA Aon Center, a 62-story office building. Rob, can you pull up the picture to see what it looks like? Was sold for $153 million, marking the largest fourth quarter deal for office space in the Western United States as reported by New Mark, group Inc. DeBio, Carol Wood, LPA, LA-based private equity from acquired the building, located in downtown LA's

Starting point is 00:27:42 financial district, the property was 64% lease at the time of sale with diverse tenants, including Aeon and Morrison and Forrester. The sale price represents a significant drop from this 2014 purchase price of 268 million unfrikin' believe, Vinny from 268 million to $150 million. The pandemic induced challenges in the office occupancy The Vinny from 268 million to $150 million, the pandemic induced challenges in the office occupancy contributed to this decrease

Starting point is 00:28:10 with the US office occupancy rate ranging from 40% to 65% spring of 2023. Tom, you hear this story. How much of this is California? How much of this is real estate? How much of this is interest rates? How much of this is just working from home? This is California number one. It's a is interest rates, how much of this is just working from home? This is California number one.

Starting point is 00:28:27 It's a 70, so I'm gonna say this, this is 70% California. You wanna why? If that building was in the middle of Miami, Adam, downtown Miami, right now, it would be 80% least in 90 days because there's so many businesses have come to South Florida, there's plenty of demand. So why is it selling like this in California?

Starting point is 00:28:49 There's not demand. Why is there not demand? It's California policies, taxation, you know, downtown crime, homelessness, all around downtown, where do you go? If you're working at building, where do you go for lunch, you gotta see it down, town folks, it's really bad. So I say 70% California and probably 25% interest rates that's kind of driving it.

Starting point is 00:29:09 But look who's buying it. As we predicted, a private equity firm swooping in, buying undervalued assets, ladies and gentlemen, that's their business. And they're conducting their business very well right now, but that's my take. Yeah, Dana White said it best, Miami's the new LA. So you saw what he said when he was talking to the Nell boys or shout out to you, Dana White. By the way, Miami's pretty packed, guys, we're good. We don't need anyone else.

Starting point is 00:29:37 Sorry, sorry. But Miami's the new LA. Rob, should I say something? LA used to be where all the cool kids hung out. Now it's all Miami. LA used to be the scene. Now it's all Miami. LA used to be the scene. Now it's all Miami. Sorry, it is what it is.

Starting point is 00:29:48 But the reality is that what we've learned since COVID is that residential real estate has skyrocketed as far as supply and demand and commercial real estate is plummeted. And whether you call it WFA or WFH, work from home or work from anywhere, a lot of companies simply don't need all that space. And some deals, private equity firms,

Starting point is 00:30:07 whether it's even BlackRock, that's buying up a lot of residential stuff. And we talked about Blackstone, whatever's going on with that, the mortgage stuff with Brandon. They just don't need all that space. And people are just working from home. And whether it's California and all the ridiculous laws

Starting point is 00:30:20 and red tape that they put up there and people leaving and Gavin Newsom being the you all employee of the year multiple times over, it is what it is at this point in California. So if you bought something like that, it's like you have a now, you got it basically for half off, right?

Starting point is 00:30:34 It was half off. Give it a give it a take. How long do you think somebody could just buy that and sit on it? Will it go back up and price? Only if you're able to take that from 60% to 90%, 85%, the key to selling a property, like we're looking at properties right now.

Starting point is 00:30:50 The property, one property we're looking at is smaller, but it's least at 80%. It's 50% more than another property that's bigger, but it's 100% vacant. People are not buying the property for, just how big and massive and beautiful the property is. They want to know who's leasing it, who's already in there, and how many years.

Starting point is 00:31:10 So the way they'll look at it is they'll look at the lesson they'll say, we have 22 tenants. These guys got 19,000 square feet and they're at least expires 20, 29. These guys have such and such, they're at least expires 20, 32. Oh wow, it's a 10-year lease. And then you're like, ah, okay, average about seven and a half years, that are those who comes in.

Starting point is 00:31:28 Got it, okay, here's the offer, they do the math, here's the offer for the property. It's simple as what it is. So if a company like that is buying it, they know they're gonna fill this place up and they're gonna make their money. They're not worried about whether they're gonna lose money or not.

Starting point is 00:31:40 The average person that buys it, it's gonna be a different story. These guys are mathematicians. Everything they buy, it's purely logical, not emotional, very rarely emotional, and fits emotions because it's a very well-known building. This is not an emotional building. This is just a big ass building.

Starting point is 00:31:55 All right, let's go to the next story. What's the story with Tucker and Ben Shapiro fighting by the way? Tucker Carlson launches stunning attack on Ben Shapiro. He obviously doesn't care about America is what Tucker says. He accused Shapiro of not caring about the United States, particularly due to Shapiro's focus on the Israel Gaza conflict stating, I can't imagine how someone like that could get an audience of people who claim to care about America because he doesn't obviously. Carlson expressed frustration with the right wing's intense focus on foreign conflicts,

Starting point is 00:32:25 such as Ukraine and Israel, while neglecting, pressing domestic issues like the nation's financial stability and immigration concerns, he questioned why they weren't addressing these vital matters, saying. They've said nothing about that, and they're focused with laser intensity

Starting point is 00:32:42 on foreign conflicts. They don't care about this country at all. Would you have ever thought that a Tuck of Crossings gonna call Ben Shapiro out of the way? You don't care about the country at all at what you're talking about? Well, for me, I'm looking at this actually. I think they both have their right sides of the argument,

Starting point is 00:32:58 but this is beyond politics, this is beyond anything, this is personal. They've been feuding on this topic for months now. And we all know that Ben Shapiro, as smart as he is, obviously, is an American Jewish man. Tucker Carlson is an American Christian man. Ben has vested in Jesus what's going on in Israel. He's an Israel advocate.

Starting point is 00:33:21 So I totally understand both sides of the argument, like you're an Armenian American, right? If there was something going on in Armenia, you would have some things to say about it. If there was something going on in Assyria. There's no Assyria, but exactly. You'd have some people going on in. That's the language a little bit.

Starting point is 00:33:36 If there's something, and Modesto, if something was happening, Modesto, if something was going on in, you know, Scandinavia, so on. Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada. Tell me about it. So, you know, America is made up of a coalition

Starting point is 00:33:48 of people from other countries. That's what make America so great is that we've taken in immigrants a little too much these days from all over the world that have their backgrounds. I like what Dan and White also had to say, is like, you're not Italian American, you're just freaking American.

Starting point is 00:34:02 You're not African American, you're just freaking American. You're not African American, you're just freaking American. You're not Mexican American, you're just American. So we have to get back to the sense of roots and purpose in America, America. First, I do understand that, but at the same time, we have something called domestic policy and foreign policy. We have something called multilateralism and called unilateralism.

Starting point is 00:34:22 We need to stand by our allies, whether it's the EU, whether it's Australia, whether it's Canada, whether it's Israel, whether you can some kind of say Ukraine, I don't know about that. But we need to have our allies back in our allies into no way. What do you think about this? I understand, well, you just stated the facts.

Starting point is 00:34:40 I get the facts. So how do you process this thing? I think it's personal. You think this is personal. Yes. Okay, so what do you think this thing? I think it's personal. You think this is personal. Yes. Okay. So what do you think about it?

Starting point is 00:34:48 I think about it. To just say he doesn't care about America, I don't think that's the case. I think, and obviously Adam nailed it. He is Jewish and it's just for months. It was for the first month and a half. All it was was Israel, this, Bob, that wiped them out. Didn't care about the civilian. Didn't care about anything.

Starting point is 00:35:04 He just wiped them out. So I could see how Tucker. Didn't care about anything, just wiped them out. So I could see how Tucker would get upset. But I do see Tucker's point in the fact that Pat, it's like everybody's looking outward, outward, outward. And you said this, I think two months ago, when you're like, one year, shut everything down. I'm sorry, everybody, take a time out. We're gonna turn around and look at America

Starting point is 00:35:20 and not help everybody and give away. And I think that's the way to do it. High-ranked freeze, recruiting freeze. And when you were taking no immigrants, yeah. No immigrants, no nothing. Not even Ukraine, sorry guys. Deal with it. Deal with the war that you've been losing from the beginning.

Starting point is 00:35:35 Tom. Both of these guys are media experts and Tucker knows exactly what he's doing. Obviously you don't care about America. One millisecond later, a synapse and tucker kralson's head is telling him that that's gonna be the click had a headline that that's gonna get people in do you think you think that's what you think in his mind he's trying to get a short clip out

Starting point is 00:35:53 no no his mind he's trying to get his point out yeah and he understands how to get people doing that yeah because i have i have a lot of respect for tucker kralson both as a newsman and as an american as an entrepreneur and i think he knows exactly what he's doing. What he is pointing out is saying that domestic policy is so important right now. Look what's happening to our cities.

Starting point is 00:36:13 Look what's happening to our economy. Look what's the interest rates, affordable housing, education America, make a list. And Tucker is saying domestic policy is so important right now. And you guys are preoccupied with all these foreign conflicts. Shapiro on the other side is saying domestic policy is so important right now and you guys are preoccupied with all these foreign conflicts. Shapiro on the other side is saying, look, it's happening to Israel because he's got a very strong pro-zionist Israel flag that he waves. I think it's as simple as that. And Tucker knows how to get the dialogue spun up and saying, obviously, you don't care

Starting point is 00:36:41 about America. That gets people talking about it. And Tucker's point I think is stronger than Ben's point. It's not to say that there's no point in Israel, you know, Hamas and the Palestinian conflict that's going on. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that the domestic point that Tucker's making is pretty fricking powerful and he's asking people, look at all these issues we got to deal with in here and i bet he would agree with you a hundred percent you know let's have a moratorium on uh... immigration and then get it done right into the following things to deal with domestic

Starting point is 00:37:13 issues yeah i can imagine a fate president gets elected and says okay guys you elected me here's what we're doing one year we're not taking any immigrants period one year we're not given any money away to anybody else when it comes out to war one year the world's got to figure out their problems for one year. And let's see if everybody else can handle it or not. A year later we'll go and address other people's problems and here's how you do it. You make a list of problems you're having on America just so you know where you live, where your kids go to school, where your family lives, where you spend time working, where your job is, where your company is? Were you spend

Starting point is 00:37:45 most of your life is? Here, these are the problems we got. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Let's address these. I think we're going to need about a year to address this. Then we can look at other people's problems. I think that's a very logical approach of taking it to solving issues. Do I think it's like the two heavy weights of the conservative side going at it as well? And there's an element too that's entertaining and they both maybe even want it, maybe, I don't know. You know, obviously you saw what happened

Starting point is 00:38:14 with Pierce Morgan when the whole Israel and Gaza debates all the comedians, so he was putting him on 18 million, 20 million, 12 million, six million. But this is working. Keep doing it. Keep doing it. But there's also another part of it that's about guys. This has been a chaotic run we've had since 2016.

Starting point is 00:38:32 Let's see if we can lower the temperature by 2025. Mathematically impossible to lower the temperature in 2024. Impossible to lower the temperature in 2024, but in 2025, there's something we can do to lower order temperature in 2024, but in 2025 there's something we can do to all order temperature and 2020 2025 in 2024 the best part if we can pull the stuff is gonna be very hard to do unifying people in 2024 would be by far the most important thing to do if these guys can get around the same table them

Starting point is 00:39:03 Others from the conservative side, can you imagine a symposium? Think about the symposium, you ready? Tucker, Ben, Musk, Rogan, Put Trump, put a bunch of these guys, okay? At a RFK, at one event, what do you think would happen with that? You don't have an arena big enough

Starting point is 00:39:24 to want to fill how many people are going to want to be there. You know what they talk about? Let me tell you what we're talking about here. I'm a humanist. My name is Elon Musk. Yes, I'm trying to build civilization or what he call it. A colony in on Mars, whatever. But at the same time, I love America.

Starting point is 00:39:39 I love this country. Hey, I'm such and such, but I love America. Hey, I'm a Jew, but I love America. Hey, I'm a Diss, but I love America. Hey, I'm a Jew, but I love America. Hey, I'm a this, but I love America. Think about what kind of a message that would send to the world if some of the sharpest, brightest people unified around America as an idea what that would do to the world. We've had so, we've had such a run of dividers back to back to back to back to back. We need a new run of synergists and unifiers. Sit down, talk. You want to argue great. Just the other day, Rob, did you see the Seth McFarlane debate

Starting point is 00:40:19 with Bill Maher on the vaccine? Did you see that? Yeah. What did you think about it? I loved it because, well, two things. A, I got to see, like, I've been around something like my profile in at a nightclub, drinking jack Daniels, really, really cool guy, really, really generous. But to see that, you know, they're both obviously liberals for him to have that point of view. And for them to actually have the conversation and it not become, no, no, you're wrong, you're wrong. And then the conversation just stopped. At least I got to, how long, and it not become, no, no, you're wrong, you're wrong.

Starting point is 00:40:45 And then the conversation stopped. At least I got the how long how long is the longest one Rob? Can you see what what do you have right there? Six forty one. What's the one above it? They're all six forty one. Except for this 30 second clip. Play the 30 second one.

Starting point is 00:40:56 See what it is. Let's see what the 30 second one is. Go ahead. Play this clip here. And but it's what we disagree on when you do real time and we'll try to make that the topic because I'd love to as I think, I mean, look, I think we disagree on the fact that I think that the public health infrastructure, despite being absolutely inadequate prior to COVID, did as good a job as they could have done during COVID.

Starting point is 00:41:23 And it pisses me the fuck off when I see people shit on them. I see it must be because you're like like steered it all the way back to that again. Like in, but tell me what we got to worry on when it's pretty wild to say that. That's just that we did a good job during COVID, even though it was inadequate pre COVID. Do you think he's going to have to say that? You think or genuinely in his heart feels that? Cause this is Seth McFarlane. This guy is, he is a professional actor. He's in that community.

Starting point is 00:41:51 He is, he's in that space. What do you think, Tom? You look, you have to look like, I'm not, I'm not sick of you. I'm not sick of you. Why don't you do this, but Rob? Why don't you go play the six minute clip, but just don't play the whole six minutes

Starting point is 00:42:02 and just play the first like, go and play this clip and maybe fast fast forward a little bit. Go ahead. But then why are doctors wrong about so much? And very often people who aren't doctors have been right or about things. Like what would be an example of that? I would think this country did not allow for natural immunity to be considered. And I know this is a subject dear to your heart.

Starting point is 00:42:31 That's right. Even if you had the disease, you still had to get a vaccine. That's powerful stupid. They don't do that in Europe. I think they do that here. There's mandatory vaccination in grade and screening. If you already had the disease, you have natural immunity. We didn't see that.

Starting point is 00:42:46 We didn't see how to believe in that. That was deepunk to them. I mean, that's not the problem. Not you know, people have had COVID four or five times. I do. That's not natural immunity. There's no immunity there. You've had COVID five times.

Starting point is 00:42:56 Watch what he says. Probably because you had too many vaccines. You do. I didn't have COVID. Did you, the vaccine gave you COVID? Well, that's certainly the unscientific about Did you, the vaccine gave you COVID? Well, that's certainly not the unscientific about the fact that the vaccine, which does weaken you in order to strengthen you.

Starting point is 00:43:10 Says do all vaccines. Exactly. Yeah. But while you're in the weakened state, yes, that's why so many people like me got it, did not have it. I thought it was a great exchange, but the point is, here's a point.

Starting point is 00:43:23 Okay, Vinnie, two years ago, that conversation's not being had. Absolutely. I'm telling you right now, three years ago, that conversation, I mean, that would have been taken down on the internet. Oh, right. But the fact that this conversation is being had, gradually, we are being forced to go this way. You know why?

Starting point is 00:43:41 Here's how this works. Think about the longest time you held a grudge with somebody. How long was it? Okay, I don't mean it. We're not giving names. I'm just saying. I still be going. But think about the longest, I'm by the way,

Starting point is 00:43:51 let me kind of bring you close. I'm talking family. I'm talking blood. I'm not talking like a friend. A friend, okay. I'm talking, maybe even best friend. What is the longest grudge you ever had? Yeah, like year.

Starting point is 00:44:02 Give me a timeline. 10 years, honestly. God, I'm did. 10 years. Honestly, Rob. Two years. And it was my best friend from seventh grade up until three or four years ago, where we started arguing about the COVID vaccine. I didn't take it.

Starting point is 00:44:13 My employer mandated it. I said, no, I lost my job. Your employer value team and major taking vaccine. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Starting point is 00:44:22 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no My previous employer worked in radio. They mandated it. I said no. My best friend worked for live nation at the time He took it. We had several arguments. I tried to explain to him. I didn't think it was necessary for me to take it Yeah, we didn't talk for two and a half years until he finally came back and said hey, I'm sorry about that You were right and I was wrong. He said that he said that to you. Yes, and again best friend for 20 years Holy shit. You guys better now. Yeah, best friends Yeah, shout out to your best friend for acknowledging that you should have been best. What's the longest you've gone with a grudge family or a best friend? Couple of years, couple of years. Okay. What's yours,

Starting point is 00:44:53 Tom? It's probably family about five years. Vinnie. Vinnie. What the hell hold on that man? When it comes to friends and stuff and this past 2023, I called the two people that I was not even talking to and I initiated the hey, whatever it was, friends and stuff, and this past 2023, I called the two people that I was not even talking to, and I initiated the hey, whatever it was, I'm sorry, I forgot about it. One never got back to me, the other one just two days ago hit me. Okay, now let's categorize grudges.

Starting point is 00:45:14 Okay, let's categorize grudges. One grudge is what? Hard core betrayal, that's permanent. For a set that aside, right? Let's set that aside. We're not gonna talk about, well why don't you go and apologize to them now, bro? That's set that aside. We're not gonna talk about, well why don't you go and apologize to them now, bro? That's betrayal, okay?

Starting point is 00:45:28 That has gone. All right, let's put the other grudge as what? You're offended. Cool, all right, let's put that over here. Let's put the one in middle, this respected, and did something that was a real stupid thing that one of the other person didn't apologize, right? How long can we go with a grudge?

Starting point is 00:45:47 Two years, two and a half years? Three, I don't know. It ain't 50 years, okay? So what's the point here? Dude, America's so sick and tired of holding grudges against the other side. They wanna sit down and say, dude, I don't hate you as much as you think I do.

Starting point is 00:46:02 Yeah, you and I had different things with Vax, and why do we let the mainstream media make me think you're a horrible person? Why do we think the mainstream media make me think that you're an idiot for not taking a vaccine? You know what, I f'd up. Yeah, I f'd up too. All right, cool.

Starting point is 00:46:16 You wanna have a drink here? Let's smoke a joint, and that's what Bill Maher is doing here, right? I don't know if America can go for too long holding a grudge. I don't think it's a natural thing that we have in our bodies. Some of us, again, what's betrayal?

Starting point is 00:46:32 You can't, like, you know, snake, I saw something the other day, a snake betrays you and then they shed and then they may look a little bit better, but they're still a snake. They're still gonna betray you. If you keep, you know, forgiving a snake in your life, you're the moron, okay? That guy's DNA is to betray you consistently

Starting point is 00:46:53 over and over and over again. But for everybody else, in this community, that guy's a Democrat, so guess where Seth lives in? He lives in Hollywood. What does Hollywood look like? A Hollywood is him. They're invited to the same parties, they're on the tabloids. They're on all the magazines. They're being talked about. You're in that space. The managers, the CAA, the WME,

Starting point is 00:47:12 all that stuff. He is in that community. What do you expect them? What do you think the people around him believe? The same exact thing he believes in. What is Bill Marron? He's sitting there debating conversations, challenging all this other stuff. The fact that we're having these conversations as crazy as this sounds, we are getting closer to each other. This doesn't mean we're gonna be a hundred percent over it. It just means we're making progress. This is a very good sign when you see these two guys talking to one another.

Starting point is 00:47:40 We're gonna say something. I know, I agree. But when it comes to the powers that be though, the one that he's talking about, the science, the Fauci's, the president saying it's a winter of death, it's a war and I'm not saying that. That's a grudge about, I don't give up on it. But that's not your friend though. Remember I said family or friend.

Starting point is 00:47:58 That's not a friend. That is a divider. I have a list of people who might watch how well they divide. Oh my God. I got a list of, I can, how well they divide. Oh my God. I got a list of, I can, you know, in my... Who's one of the top ones I'm talking in my personal life business, there's a few guys that I studied their playbook. I'm like, wow, you are so good.

Starting point is 00:48:14 And I call them I one time and I said to his face, I said, hey, you know this is what you do. You know that, right? You do. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- I'm watching you. To invite people. I'll say and say you do, and he's like, you don't know, no, you think so. No, man, I've seen you do to this guy, to that guy, to this guy, to that guy, to the, you're so proud, what you do, you're so good at what you do.

Starting point is 00:48:33 So with that guy, that's not a friend. That's not a grudge. That's a dark human being that I'm not trying to be friend. I'm talking about somebody you love. Care about. Friend, family, care about. They now you're saying, I hate you.

Starting point is 00:48:48 How the hell do we get here? What happened? Did you truly betray me? Maybe you did. Okay, then you're in this category. Don't worry about it. We don't need a friendship ever again. In America, yesterday the T.C.

Starting point is 00:48:58 on Dylan Arsene. So dad, what do you think about our country being called essay? I said, what? He said, yeah, America's essay. What the hell is that? I say, I'm like, okay, here we go. Another finaft book you read, five nights at Freddy's, that I have to sit here and learn about another character.

Starting point is 00:49:14 He says, no, we're essay. I'm like, what the, guys, please, it was awful. She's no, we're the states of America. We're no longer United. Oh, wow. That might have been me pass he condilers. Yeah, he condilin the like we're no longer USA We're the essay where the states of America wherever they picked it. I may be better than me bad influence I mean, but it's not bad influence. It was it was true. It's true. He's already dividing my voice

Starting point is 00:49:41 I'm holding a grudge right now. I'm telling you, the public to be in. They have a grudge officially today. Oh, no. All right, let's go to the next one. Large number of Americans want a strong, rough, anti-democratic leader. What are they talking about? So this is a story from the conversation research by Alihane, college center for political participation,

Starting point is 00:50:02 revealed that approximately one third of 1500 correspondents expressed a willingness to support leaders who would take uncompromising, decisive action, even if it meant violating democratic norms. For example, respondents were asked if they believed that the only way our country can solve its current problems is by supporting tough leaders who will crack down on these who undermine American values about a third of the response and respondents agreed or strongly agreed with such ideas. Approximately 90% of Republicans would support tough leaders who crack down on groups perceived as undermining American values.

Starting point is 00:50:41 While over half of Democrats held similar views, almost half of strong Republican Party supporters, and over a third of strong Democratic Party supporters endorsed the idea that it is acceptable to bend the rules for political goals. Interesting. To bend the rules for political, and this is the chart, by the way, if you're looking at it. So, if you look at the strongly agree, strongly disagree, statement. The only way our country can solve the current problems is by supporting tough leaders who

Starting point is 00:51:09 will crack down on those who undermine the American values. Strong Democrats, you see what they're saying, green, strongly agree. Okay, interesting. Not strong Democrats, a little bit. Lean Democrats, okay, not that much. Independence 19%. Lean Republican 27, not strong Republicans 26. Strong Republicans are like no, bro.

Starting point is 00:51:33 Hold these mofos accountable. I want them going to jail is what I want them to be, right? So what do you think about this, Tom? When you're hearing a story about the fact that American people maybe is this caused by a Joe Biden presidency of two years where they like to do it? Have some kind of a backbone, the freaking middle least attacked us 78 times in a few weeks in a month of December.

Starting point is 00:51:53 You don't do shit. And now we have to sit here and bend our back and apologize. Maybe we should do something about it, Tom, your thoughts. Yeah, this has been below the surface for a while and now it's showing up. What it says is that people all around the world, especially Americans right now, crave a strong leader

Starting point is 00:52:11 speaking with clarity who will do something. Strong leader speaking with clarity will do something. You can look back in history and see how did, let's forget about Mao and let's forget about Stalin, forget about Hitler. Let's look at Mussolini as a case study pat musselini told people he would make the train run on time and he would help rectify what was going on the Italian economy and he got

Starting point is 00:52:34 democratically elected now he turned out to be a bad guy but the point is when you see elections like that when people have had enough they are craving that strong leader speaking with clarity and authority who's going to get something done. And it's done surprise. And right now, damn straight, the Joe Biden presidency has been sort of a last straw of Wishi-Washie, Washington. Now Americans are starting to speak like this. You went over the strongly agree.

Starting point is 00:53:07 like this, you went over the strongly agree. Look at the agree. If you add the 22 strong agree and 37 agree, that's 59% of Democrats said, you know what, I'm in. That's the line that I look at. That's 59% who said strongly agree and agree. You know what? I'm in. Exactly. And I was just going to say that's that's the where I'm going with this. We all know that especially if you're on the republicans side of the aisle you look at strong as an authoritative type of leader you know some say somebody will say authoritarians some people will say strong but he's definitely authoritative meaning like he ain't messing around so we are we already understand that what is it almost 90% of

Starting point is 00:53:43 republicans want a strong leader. We get that. But the Democrats, the Democrats, when you look at someone like an Obama, nobody called him strong. You might have said that he was charming or well spoken or empathetic, but he wasn't a strong leader. And then Democrats are even looking at Joe Biden frail, old senile, some may say. Vinnie's already diagnosed him with dementia,

Starting point is 00:54:07 based on his medical 100th reputation. But what we can all agree upon is that he's sort of feckless and ineffective and definitely not strong. So when you see Democrats out there being like, give me a bad asthma foe out there. That is the telltale sign that America's yearning something a little more. You mean like what we had with Trump when shaking everybody's hand and ripping their arms off, slapping, pulling, hitting Kim Jong-un on the shoulder. You mean that strong?

Starting point is 00:54:34 The guy that didn't care, the guy that was just talking shit, that was actually an alpha. So how about it? Didn't we have that? Now you guys want it back. Exactly. Obama. What was this one word? Change. Hope.

Starting point is 00:54:46 Yes, we can. No, no, no, no, the first, no, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. We can't. No, we can't. No, we can't.

Starting point is 00:54:54 No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't.

Starting point is 00:55:02 No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can't. No, we can again? No, I'm serious. Hope versus make America great yet. Hope, make. But we had, listen, and Adam, just throw it back to the end of the world. We had strong and listened.

Starting point is 00:55:14 Besides the feelings, everything was kind of good until COVID, and now look. Now look, would you guys say, I wanna know from all three of you, is Joe Biden gonna go down as one of the worst presidents that we've had in this past four years? Be honest with yourself. What do you, say? I wanna know from all three of you, is Joe Biden gonna go down as one of the worst presidents that we've had in this past four years?

Starting point is 00:55:27 Be honest with yourself. What do you, is that like a good question? No, no, no, no, I'm being genuine. From everything that's happened from the day he got in to right now, we're... Are you choking in your series? I'm dead serious. Of course he's gonna go down as one of the worst presidents.

Starting point is 00:55:38 Thank you. Who would you put a question? You don't need to ask me though. You need to ask Democrats. Yeah. They need to do that poll because he's approval rating right now is 39%. Do you know there's never been a president

Starting point is 00:55:49 that's one at 30% in the 30% town? Nobody. Ever. They're all one timers, okay? They're all one timers. And by the way, Trump is in that group as well, okay? But there's never been a person that's one at 30%, he's at 39.3% right now.

Starting point is 00:56:02 55.4 is this approval rating. I'll just add one more thing. We always go back to that Wall Street Journal article where they said there's a client in American values, right? Family values, community service, religion, everything that's sort of been declining in America. There's definitely something permeating in America under the service that's been basically been exposed

Starting point is 00:56:22 where every just sort of normal semblance of any human being in America, proud Americans are looking around, they're like, what's going on around here these days? We're so focused on identity politics and gender and chicks that have dicks that we forgot about exactly what's the major issues in this America, not culture wars

Starting point is 00:56:42 that affect America, actual wars. What's going on in Ukraine? What's going on in Israel? What's going on around the world? North Korea over there. Taiwan potentially happening. What's going on with the debt? What's going on?

Starting point is 00:56:53 Americans, the fastest going religion in America is no religion whatsoever. Less people are having kids. There's so much going on in America. We always, that cycle of weak man creates strong times, strong times. We all know this thing. But there's something happening in America, you know, we always, that cycle of weak man and creates strong times, strong times, we all know this thing. But there's something happening in America where even Democrats, you know, the loving empathetic, they're like, yeah, now we're not

Starting point is 00:57:13 playing that game. The Bill Mars of the world are arguing with the South Macporelands of the world. And they're basically drawing in line with the same, we're like, yeah, they're saying exactly classic liberalism. This is a democratic party. I'm not used to. So there's something happening right here. We just need to be careful that there's not actually an authoritarian in office,

Starting point is 00:57:32 but the media will do a good job which is why perpetuating that. The handful of Mussolini. Yeah. And by the way, check this out. So a lot of talk right now is being brought up about Nikki Haley as the VP. Okay.

Starting point is 00:57:44 So Nikki Haley as Trump's VP, she doesn't reject the ideas, says they work well together. Nikki Haley, when asked about the possibility of becoming Trump's running mate in 2024 election responded, President Trump and I worked very well together. Why? Because I told him the truth. While she didn't categorically reject the ideas, she emphasized her intention to win the Republican nomination

Starting point is 00:58:03 for president, stating, I've never played for second. I'm going to, I'm not going to start now despite the openness to the idea, but Trump, Haley, ticket, there's opposition within Trump's circle, his son Donald Trump, Jr. Express, reluctance, calling Haley a puppet of establishment in Washington, DC, and a favorite of the billionaire class, Trump himself previously referred to Haley as bird brain in a potent on truth social Tom thoughts on Nikki Haley as a VP. Do you think that's likely to happen? No, I don't think it's likely to happen. And here's the strategy.

Starting point is 00:58:34 I bet I went back, it's funny you say this. I went back and I was looking at Nikki Haley's quotes and I was looking at her, you kind of a campaign position statements and stuff. And at the beginning of her campaign, she was trying to legitimize her ability to stay on stage. She was really critical of Trump. I believe that her camp, if you look at what they were reading, they thought he was dead. They thought he's not going to be in a ballot, too many of these court cases.

Starting point is 00:59:01 And remember, we've crossed the lump. It's like, he's still here. Well, now, you you never never mind bragg in new york now we have Georgia he's still here uh... nothing's been convicted yet he's still here and now we've got state supreme courts and what's going on he's still here i think she thought he'd be gone she was negative on him and she now i believe is positioning for vp now that she's got enough leverage in terms of

Starting point is 00:59:25 where she is in the polls i think she's trying to position for a spot and i think the people in the money around her want her to be that vp and they want her to be the dick chanee and heels to do exactly what dick chanee did with bush you know she reminds me of i think thanks i think that's the positioning and i think that's a play and i think that's what's shown up right now you know who she reminds me of Tom. Let me do who she reminds me of. She reminds me of, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'll text you the name.

Starting point is 00:59:50 You know, she is. She reminds me of somebody in the insurance space. Snobby, know it all entitled degree been around the block. I haven't texted it to you yet. I will in a minute. Uh, snobby, entitled, do I have your attention time? Where are you? Yeah, I'm texting you.

Starting point is 01:00:07 He's not only fans. I'm telling you I'm texting you. Come on, Tom. Get up, only fans. So to me, she gives me that vibe. You know why she gives me that vibe? And I may be wrong. I'm so glad being wrong with this.

Starting point is 01:00:19 I'm totally okay with that. Because she has presence on stage. She's very confident. If nowadays you you as a presidential candidate, don't go on podcasts, I see you as snobby. If nowadays you as a presidential candidate, don't go sit down with other podcasts and talk and open up for an hour or two to long form, I see you as you're hiding something. Just what she hasn't done. Type into what Nikki Haley and podcasts.

Starting point is 01:00:48 Go on YouTube, let's just kind of check her out. Go type in their Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley and podcast, Nikki Haley and podcast. What podcast has she gone on? If you were to look her up, what podcast has she done? I don't see any podcasts.

Starting point is 01:01:06 So you know what that tells you? So the average person that's listening to this, you know what Nikki Haley's telling you, you're not good enough for her to come and talk to you, because if you're a podcast listener, if you're listening to this, if you're not a mainstream cable listener, she's trying to tell you you're not smart enough for her.

Starting point is 01:01:21 She's trying to tell you the only people she that have earned a right to listen to her speak are the people that are on mainstream media. That's trying to tell you the only people she that have earned a right to listen to her speak are the people that are on mainstream media. That's what she's telling you. Now, maybe wrong, maybe she's going to go on the podcast or no. Now, but she doesn't want to do it. Listen, do I think the Santas loves doing podcasts? I think he hates it. I think he can't stand doing podcasts. Personally, I think he doesn't stand, he can't stand doing podcasts. Has he done them? Yes. Do I plot them?

Starting point is 01:01:46 Yes. You know why? Because he's willing to go talk to you. Okay. Do I think RFK likes to do podcasts? I think he does, because I think RFK is that confident. I think RFK has put me down anywhere. I'll talk to anybody. Do I think Trump is willing to go and sit down

Starting point is 01:02:00 with anybody and talk to anyone? 100%. Any day the week. He's not afraid of sitting down with anybody. He'll go sit down with anyone. Nikki Haley, I wanna like you, I wanna trust you, but the vibes you give me is you look down at people who consume podcast shows.

Starting point is 01:02:21 And you think you're above it. Again, maybe I'm wrong. You just give me that vibe of an elitist entitled, has been controlled by the people of all education and decrees, and I've spoken to so many insurance executives like her the last 20 years, and they are some of the most annoying people to talk to. I'm maybe wrong. Again, I'm willing to be wrong.

Starting point is 01:02:42 I'm willing to sit down and say, I actually like the scrub, I actually like how she is, but she gives me the vibes that you guys down there, you know, like in these corporate executives, they're on the 40th or 4th, they never come down to shake hands because, oh, it's the peasants. It's the peasants. That's the vibe I get. It's not, it's not attractive to me. I'll add this. You're definitely not wrong because I would leave. I don't know. I may be wrong. I'm letting you know judge dirty don't know. I may be wrong. I'm letting you know judge dirty execution right here.

Starting point is 01:03:07 Here we go. Because what? Who is feuding with Nikki more than anybody? Vivek. Vivek. Because one is his talent. Another name I forgot even he'll go to any podcast. I mean, anybody. He's in restaurant. Exactly. Walking.

Starting point is 01:03:20 Any guy will go anywhere out. You can tell that guy loves America. By the way, he's richer, more successful, more educated, smarter. Correct. And he'll still talk to anybody because look at it this way. If you just want to juxtapose Nikki versus Vivek, Vivek will go anywhere. He'll go in any podcast and mainstream. He'll feud with anybody.

Starting point is 01:03:41 Nikki's establishment. She's going on the mainstream media. She's so much more establishment than Ron DeSantis is. Okay, she's going nowhere. She's the anti-Vivac. That's why those two are feuding so much. I know that Trump called her bird brain.

Starting point is 01:03:54 She's definitely not bird brain, but she's definitely a war hawk. Okay, Mara Biggest Concerned with Nikki is that she's willing to go attacking round, basically go to war with China with Taiwan, defend Israel, fund Ukraine, she's basically Halliburton times on steroids, okay? So do I think that Trump would pick her to be the VP?

Starting point is 01:04:16 I don't. Do I think that if he did call, she would pick that, she would pick up that phone call, 100%, I think she's an opportunist. I think that she's someone who's basically looking to social climb or politically climb. And I think she's also sort of the exact opposite of Pence. I don't see her being a bootlicker for Trump.

Starting point is 01:04:35 I don't, first of all, I don't think he would pick her. But if he did actually pick her, I would lose a lot of respect for him because he's claimed from the beginning to drain the swamp. She is the swamp. Okay, and by the way, if he does, if that does happen and he goes through, I would have a food tester on all the,

Starting point is 01:04:53 I wouldn't trust that girl at all. Because guess what? God forbid, if they go after him and for some reason they am peach, because you know that's what's gonna happen right when he gets in, if he gets in. You think she's gonna pull him in? She's gonna pull him in?

Starting point is 01:05:04 She's gonna pull him LBJ? She'll pull her L, dude. Why'll pull it out dude. Why wouldn't she because I don't know about that all I'm saying is but she becomes a president Yeah, I'm just saying I don't trust her I get that I just to me. She just gives me like I you know you go to to these Parties networking parties and you're talking to people and Like so so when I say yeah, oh, so yeah, okay, and they give you that look you know the look So they Nigel okay, yeah, okay, so you want to worry? Oh god, oh To me, you know, that's I fired up a visa. No, listen, I can't stand Alitists mean I'm with you. I cannot stand elitists. I can't stand people that they think

Starting point is 01:05:46 they're above other human beings. She gives the vibe of thinking she's better than other people. And it's not attractive. I'm telling you right now, it's not attractive. When you're able to do something like that, you're not willing to go talk to people because you think you're who? And what?

Starting point is 01:06:04 Who convinced you of that? We choose. You don't choose. But somebody has convinced her to believe that's what it is. So that could be, it could be the people behind where it's the co-consultant. It could be the money people go ahead. Right, money.

Starting point is 01:06:17 Yeah, I think you hit it, but you were about to say a pat. You're exactly right. I'll give you four words. Consultants control establishment arrogance. Follow the line. So unattractive. All the consultants are out there that make millions of dollars

Starting point is 01:06:28 and they make a percentage of the ad spend, what do they do? They want to control the candidate and they want to control what they're doing. And they are going to traditional media making bid ad buys, going on TV. Vivek over the weekend says, I'm not getting return on TV,

Starting point is 01:06:44 so I'm putting my money into the marketing efforts and things that give me a return. So I can see that I'm moving votes to me. So consultants, they want to control the candidate and the advertising establishment. They want to go to established meeting, media. There's no value for them to come here, the consultant value, the candidates, if they understood the depth and passion

Starting point is 01:07:08 and emotion and our ability to move votes and what's happening with podcasts, they would be, they would be, there'd be a line at the door every morning. But instead, that's not it. And guess what? When you put those three together, it's the arrogance of yesterday. You can't negotiate with them. It's right, you can't negotiate with them. And it's the arrogance of yesterday. Trust me, consultants, control It's right, you can't negotiate with them. It's the arrogance of yesterday. Trust me, consultants control, establish an arrogance.

Starting point is 01:07:28 What a great way of putting it. It's old. You've set an armzone when a ghost and a people like this time. How are they to negotiate with? It's impossible. It was terrible. You know, the first, I remember meeting some and there's a couple that. Don't give names.

Starting point is 01:07:42 I'm not going to do. There's a couple where I can't feel there was a racial element because there was some racial equality at the table. Other times I thought, is this just, is this maybe racial? Other times it was just, man, this is just arrogance. And then I would get to things where you and I would talk in the elevator afterwards.

Starting point is 01:08:01 And I'd be like, good Lord, these people need to get out more. The new America that we were bringing to them for was a diverse consumer. It's unattractive. And then by the time we get to lobby, I said, okay, it's not racial. It's not, you know, the difference between...

Starting point is 01:08:19 It's not ignorance, it's just arrogance. You know, it's a difference between him and the sand her and the Santas What's the difference between her and the Santas? He actually is I mean they both wear high heels It's not even baseball season like that one's one of the Fats what's the biggest difference? What's the biggest difference between the Sanctus and Haley? The Sanctus was at least willing once or twice to dip his toe in the water with some of the podcasts

Starting point is 01:08:53 this one and others we know. And you know when I saw that, and she won't even touch it. And you know when I saw it, but you know when I saw that arrogance that elitists that you're talking about, when Vivek was holding her foot to the fire and checking her, the camera was just on her,

Starting point is 01:09:06 she was only going there and she was like, like, I felt that vibe of, I'm better than this. I might be in a response. What's the biggest difference? You are a scum. Yeah, exactly. I trust the Santas. I trust the Santas.

Starting point is 01:09:17 I just think the Santas is not good on camera, but I trust them. I think he's a good guy. I don't relate to el leadist, snobby, bullshit. I'm better than you to come and talk to the average person type of people. And that's her. I mean, my brand, when I look at her in my eyes, when I look at her brand, that's her brand. Her brand is I'm better than you. I'm smarter than you.

Starting point is 01:09:42 I'm the leadist. I make the decisions, you follow my lead, I know what's good for you. I don't let me ask you this. Yeah. Okay. So let's put Trump aside for a second. We see that you've interviewed the Santas, we've had a bit back here, we've had our okay, here you've experienced with these people.

Starting point is 01:09:58 Clearly you're not a fan of Nikki or at least the elitist mentality. The approach. Okay. And I don't think that's the way to win. Okay. So you see in the polls, she's plus five on Biden, right? So Trump is a little closer. If in a million years, somehow, and I don't see this necessarily happening, it could happen.

Starting point is 01:10:16 Nickyvers Biden. Would you even consider Biden kind of a question? Is that kind of a question? No, kind of a question. You just laid into Nicky. I'm not laying into a Nikki that I shoot with her against Biden. What are we talking about there? No, all I'm saying to her is your brand, Nikki, your camp,

Starting point is 01:10:35 whoever that's watching this, you guys come across as arrogant, conceited, elitist, and it's unattractive to a guy who loves America, who worked his ass off in America. You come across as a leadist, arrogant, you're better than me, and I don't like it. Period. If that's you and it's always been like you,

Starting point is 01:10:55 it's unattractive. And I don't think I'm alone. I don't think I'm alone. I think there's other people that feel the same way as I do on the way you guys are. That's what I say. If it's Hurricanes Biden, it's not even a question, because what Biden's done to America

Starting point is 01:11:10 last three years is a shit show. So that's not even a conversation I would be having. I just don't like, like, listen, with my kids. If my kids give a sign, a single, we went out to dinner the other day. A relative that doesn't live with us. Okay, this was two months ago. General, remember this. And a single, we went out to dinner the other day, a relative that doesn't live with us. This was two months ago.

Starting point is 01:11:26 General, remember this. This relative that we see once every other year, or something like that. And we take him out to a nice dinner. This relative goes like this, excuse me. Oh my God. Oh no, to the sir. Adam. The waiter looks at me and is so polite and gentle and kind to the person because

Starting point is 01:11:50 that's with me. And the waiter leaves, my kids are sitting at the table. If you already know how I feel right now, you have no idea how I feel. Just telling you the story right now, my body's in pain. I can tell. So the waiter leaves, I look at the person and I look at my kids and I say, listen, never for the rest of our lives,

Starting point is 01:12:16 do we go like this to a person that's working to make the food better for us. We don't ever talk like that again. And I looked at the person and I said, we don't do that. I don't know if you do that, we don't do that kind of stuff. You told them out right then.

Starting point is 01:12:29 In front of my dad, in front of Jen, in front of everybody. And this is a person we love and it's a relative. I said, we don't do stuff like this. And I said, Tiko Dylan, I swear to God, if you ever behave like that in front of me, you don't even know what would happen if you behave like that in front of me. We don't even know what would happen if you behave like that in front of me.

Starting point is 01:12:46 We don't do stuff like this. Then I got up and I walk past it, and I say, hey, it's my lunch, you know, this is my table, it represents me, we don't talk like that to people. Makes sense. I give him a 50% tip, so he understands that. The respect that we got for them.

Starting point is 01:13:00 She gives me the vibes of this. I don't like that. I don't like that vibe. Now, man. And to me,. I don't like that. I don't like that vibe. And to me, I don't roll like that. You gotta give people respect. I'm a voter. Everybody else is a voter. When a person, so why do people love Joe?

Starting point is 01:13:17 Why do people love Dana? Think about the people that we, why do people love Elon? Because they're authentic. They're real. But they have the ability to be an asshole to you. Yes. They have the ability to be like this

Starting point is 01:13:29 and they're like, hey, how you doing? Well, wait a minute, who are you? You're just because you're on a debate stage and you went and sat on the board and you got a few million dollars from Boeing. This is what you want to do? No, man, that's not what the last thing we need on Maricopa right now is that this kind of a mindset. We need to mindset how you doing. No, man, that's not what the last thing we need

Starting point is 01:13:45 on Maricopa right now is that this kind of a mindset. We need to mindset, how you doing? So what's on your mind? What do you think? What's going on? That's what we need on Maricopa today. We don't need, we don't need any of this stuff. Unless if you're dancing, if you're dancing, go like this all day. I don't care if you want to do it at a person wedding, all day long do it. And I know I had to that and amplify it with personal experience. If she's doing this, Nikki, if you're doing this, because you're being led by the consultant, so you're being coached in this,

Starting point is 01:14:09 this is not the path to the heart of the average American and the people that need leadership in this country. I met you with Beth Bendine at the event in Dallas, Texas. We talked for about 15 minutes with an associate of mine that we were there and I didn't get this vibe from you at all. And that what I see and what I see in the candidate, I'm with Pat. It's like, oh, oh, is this the way it's going to be? And if you're listening to these consultants, because there's a lot of dogs out there,

Starting point is 01:14:36 these consultants that are charging millions of dollars, taking a skim off the ad by, you know, this is not what American needs. And if this isn't who you are and and you really wanna connect with the people, it needs to start now. Unattractive. Anyways, okay. Let's go to the next story. Let's see which one, let's do this one here.

Starting point is 01:14:54 This one's a very interesting, and it's gonna cause many of you guys to wanna move to California. And by the way, I just looked at the order. God knows how many of you ordered it. It's about to, we would still ship it out to you, but it's about to sell out gang. Those of you guys, here's what I said to you.

Starting point is 01:15:09 This is what we're doing for today's podcast. We called it the year of chaos, 2020, it's already chaotic year. Anybody who orders, just to date, this is not gonna be the rest, it's just because it's the first podcast of the year. I want everybody to support the future looks bright. I don't wanna give the people that are the fear porn people,

Starting point is 01:15:27 the benefit of that. I want leaders to stand up and give confidence to everybody. The statement of the year this year is future looks bright all day long. If you order one of these future looks bright hats, Rob, you got the whole thing, the discount code PBD Podcast 2024, all lowercase together.

Starting point is 01:15:44 I'm gonna drop in another hat like this and a future looks bright hat for us to sport. I want you to go to work, I want you to go to the gym, I want you to go outside, for people to say, you really think the future looks bright? Absolutely, why? Cause we're leaders, cause we're leaders. So go place the order,

Starting point is 01:16:00 we still got a few of these left, specifically, these, the camels, the one that I like to wear, future looks bright. I'll put the link below, the one that I like to wear, future looks fried. I'll put the link below for people to have as well. Okay, California becomes the first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented immigrants. Starting from January 1st, California will offer health insurance through Medi-Cal to all undocumented

Starting point is 01:16:22 immigrants, regardless of age, their expression will make, expansion will make approximately 700,000 undocumented residents between ages 26 to 49 eligible for full coverage. California has gradually expanded health coverage for undocumented immigrants. Over the years, starting with children in 2015 and expanding access to young adults, 19 to 25 and 2019,

Starting point is 01:16:44 the state views this expansion as commitment to healthcare as human rights, while there have been concerns about the strain on the medical system and provider access issues, studies have shown that undocumented immigrants use fewer healthcare resources than non-immigrants. Tom, thoughts on this with California? There's a couple things going on here and people need to hear the truth. This is a campaign slogan coming out of the mouth of Gavin Newsom.

Starting point is 01:17:12 They have been providing healthcare coverage to undocumented immigrants for years. There have been major hospitals and Pat and I come from LA, so we know a little bit about LA, you know, well covered in the LA Times, well known down there, King Drew Medical Center, which is now closed, as member, placed by MLK, downtown hospital providing critical care to people that come

Starting point is 01:17:36 in from everything from an overdose to an undocumented immigrant who's trying to get some care and coverage for a child with pneumonia and they're not turned away. And instead, what happens is that was provided under MediCal, which is basically Medicaid in California is called MediCal. It's Medicaid. We all know what that is. That's basically healthcare provided to people who are in poverty or to poor to afford it.

Starting point is 01:18:06 And so what's happening now, oh, we're just going to give you health insurance officially through MediCal, but it was already being covered by the state because the hospitals didn't turn them away. But what the state is done to the hospitals is turned down what they're willing to pay for the service. Oh, and X-ray, we're only going to give you $11 for that. And what happens is when the state says, okay, you're all getting healthcare coverage. Yay, if I'm an undocumented person,

Starting point is 01:18:32 my kid breaks his ankle, plans soccer, he can go to a hospital and get coverage. That on a human side is good, right? Now it's not good that they're undocumented and here are other stories there. But now the hospital's sold, yeah, you get $11 for the X-ray and $54 to put the bone back and then give you a $75 for the cast.

Starting point is 01:18:51 The hospital looks at it. It cost me $305 just to have them walk in this place. And I'm gonna get 175 back. And if you scan down here is an article from the LA Times about Himalayan Hospital says, it could soon be unable to pay its bills Why go to paragraph number four here we go one two three one of the biggest challenges is the fact that emergency department has been Day-looged day-loog means flood overwhelmed. Thank you with four times as many patients as initially expected That's a problem because, wait, wait, wait, here it comes.

Starting point is 01:19:26 How are we giving the undocumented health insurance through medical? Here comes medical because medical, the California Medicaid program does not fully cover the cost for providing emergency services. So Gavin Newsom is bankrupting his own hospitals for the sake of a headline to look good to the voting blog. You kidding me Tom. I'm out. So how do you do this? And so so I'm a hospital owner. I own a hospital. Okay. I come back and say, dude, what are you doing?

Starting point is 01:19:58 You're in a hospital with a permit in California, and I will not sign your permit unless you take Medi-Cal and you take this thing. How do you expect me to stay profitable? I don't care. If you're at your permit, Pat, Mr. Bet David, sign here. But how do I stay in business? That's not my problem, Mr. Bet David. I will pay you this much for the services. Yeah, I don't think so.

Starting point is 01:20:17 Then if that's the case, I think the hospitals are going to come together and they're going to say, you're out of your mind. They're going to have a conversation with them to say, oh, you want us to shut down hospitals? King Drew went out of business and was replaced by MLK Hospital. I've made your hospital in the shadow of USC, in the shadow of UCLA, big medical schools, went out of freaking business and was replaced by MLK Hospital. You know, I used to think that so cow, it stood for Southern California, but

Starting point is 01:20:46 it's become clear and clear that it stands for socialist California. You know, I used to get so-o-calif-o-yeah, exactly. I used to get an arguments with our friend Ricky and he'll be like, all the Democrats, bro. And I was like, yeah, I don't see that in Florida at all. You know how it is here? Like most people are pretty moderate here in Florida. And I didn't really understand the deep divergence of how left and right people in California, there's a deep, deep divide there because the socialist programs that are basically coming

Starting point is 01:21:17 in, Kami forna, as Ricky calls it, is so palpable that just doesn't exist here in Florida. That way, Ricky and I would always argue, I'll be like, why do you hate the Democrats so much? Because I see what's going on in California with the trans stuff, the socialist stuff, and now the medical stuff that's going on here, Warren Florida that doesn't exist,

Starting point is 01:21:37 as Rhonda Santa says, Florida is where woke goes to die. California is where woke goes to live. Yeah is woke, was where woke goes to live. Okay, yeah, right. Survive was going on there. Everything that the Santas did with basically the trans stuff and basically the commercials, we all know what happened right there. But when it comes to healthcare,

Starting point is 01:21:56 obviously one of the biggest issues, bomb a care, Trump, John McCain, the thumbs down, we all know what happened there. But, you know, the question of whether healthcare is a right or a privilege, John McCain, the thumbs down. We all know what happened there. But the question of whether healthcare is a right or a privilege, still unanswered. But what we do know on that is this, that government run healthcare is a recipe for disaster. Talk to anybody in Canada that wants a good treatment. It's a disaster out there. Talk to anybody that runs, get the government out of my bedroom, get the government out of my hospital room, anything

Starting point is 01:22:31 that goes on with that. Universal healthcare would be a disaster. I didn't fully understand that situation from a national perspective. But let's look at California as a case example to see what happens. You got to keep your vote. That's healthy though. That's why it's private to a company's compete. You gotta keep your voters healthy. I know, but listen, I said this jokingly earlier, but it's exactly what it is. So imagine if all of a sudden Apple started giving non-employees ID cards to enter the building.

Starting point is 01:22:58 They're gonna eat everything for sure. So think about what I just said. Hey, moving forward, Apple, a privately, a publicly held company, a $3 trillion company, give or take, we're gonna offer everybody in Cupertino, an ID to come into our cafeteria, whether you're an employee or not.

Starting point is 01:23:14 Tell me logically how that makes any sense. Purely logically. It doesn't. It doesn't make any sense. A perfect example. What do you mean you're gonna offer immigrants who are not here legally the same benefits of the people that work to come here legally? Tell me how that ID card makes any sense. What

Starting point is 01:23:33 is the big deal of me being a California resident? So if that doesn't work for a company, how does that work for a state? Well, those are two different things. How are they two different things? Who's still paying for it? Somebody has to pay for it. They're not coming here spending the money. Who's paying for it? That's not you. I'm paying for it.

Starting point is 01:23:50 You're not paying for it. Yeah. So where's your empathy? Where's your heart? Where's your heart? Where's your heart? But that's what I'm saying. That's the argument.

Starting point is 01:23:57 But here's my thing though. And you just made a great point. The people of California are gonna do nothing about it. What you're just gonna sit on your hands and not do shit, that's the people's responsibility to say, hell no, yeah, he's the governor, he makes the final decision, where are the people at? You should be, California should be lining up,

Starting point is 01:24:15 not for a climate protest, and we're gonna stay in the road because the whales are dying. No, getting the goddamn streets, sorry, that's just the Lord's name in vain. And fight for the, are you crazy? I'm paying for somebody that doesn't belong to the country.

Starting point is 01:24:29 But look at that. Let me give you the good news at the very least. The good news is this, if you look at what's going on on our border, no one's coming across. There's no care of bands of people basically and vading running. That doesn't exist. It's not a problem. It's not a problem.

Starting point is 01:24:45 The moment that that story actually is. So, why are you even worried about talking about that, guys? So, let's put this right at the end. And ladies and gentlemen, if you're not voting, you're an idiot. Because when that hospital closes, that emergency room is not available for you with full health insurance and a credit card to pay the deductible, either. Either. All right, here we go.

Starting point is 01:25:03 Here's on the border semi-Sarcastic common atom was making. Here we go. Democrat mayors of Chicago, New York, and then we reach breaking points from migrant surge. New York City, Eric Adams emphasized the strain on the city's resources stating just last week, we had 39 other people who arrived here. If you do the math, that's potentially 16,000 a week. We had 39, uh, 39 other people who arrived here. If you do the math, that's potentially

Starting point is 01:25:27 16,000 a week, uh, uh, uh, 16,000 a week, um, a month that we must feed, clothes, house, and educate. That is what the breaking point looks like. Chicago, Brandon Johnson, Highlight State Economic, Burton, on the city,, we have reached a critical point in that mission that absent real significant intervention immediately or local economy economies are not designed and built to respond to this kind of crisis. Oh, really? Oh, really? Denver's mayor, Johnson, then reveals a backlog of court dates for asylum seekers until 20 ready, 27 resulting a potential cost

Starting point is 01:26:10 of $160 million, nearly 10% of the city's budget. What percent? 10% of the city's budget. Holy crap. Exactly. So then White House, of course, because this is not really that big of a deal. White House says border surge is not unusual. You know, the White House downplays the current play,

Starting point is 01:26:31 a surge of migrants at the border. Describing it as a seasonal phenomenon, press secretary, Catherine, Karin, Jean Pierre, stated, and we're at a time of the year, well, you know, where we're seeing more at the border. I mean, come on, folks, and it's not unusual. This is a migration system that has been broken for decades. Despite record breaking numbers of border encounters in recent months, would daily arrests, ready? 10,000, not crossing daily arrests, 10,000.

Starting point is 01:27:02 The White House maintains that there's nothing unusual about the situation. The 8000 to 10,000 migrants caravan heading to the border is the window link in numbers, but many migrants are finding alternative transportation methods to reach the border. Nothing to see here. Let me just say something. There's two lines in here I want to see. Two lines. Chicago's Brandon Johnson.

Starting point is 01:27:20 Absent rules, quote, quote quote absent real significant intervention immediately Translation make this immigration stop. That's what he's saying absent real significant and okay White House Systems have been broken for decades. Oh, it's not our fault. It's been broken for decades Yeah, Rob, but I'm gonna have you pull this up. Don't pull it up yet. So we all know that far right wing Mainstream media company. You already know it in your head. They commented, it was their main story over the weekend, okay? Rogue, these are the headlines that they did.

Starting point is 01:27:55 Rob, don't pull it up until I tell you. Rogue buses drop off migrants by the thousands and major cities with little notice, okay? Rogue buses, December migrants surge at the southern border the largest in more than two notice, okay? Rogue buses, December migrant surge at the southern border, the largest in more than two decades, okay? Migrant crossings are spiking. See what it looks like on the southern border? Wow, they live in San Diego, migrants pass through their backyards, almost daily. Obviously, this right-wing media, okay, is just trying to enhance their message here. And who is that? At the box, always says this. to enhance their message here. And who is that?

Starting point is 01:28:25 At box always says this. No, okay. Okay, bro, please pull up the mainstream media outlet that basically was pulling this up. This was on the cover of CNN, guys. Rogue buses. Okay, this isn't your Fox News bright bar, drug report reporting, okay?

Starting point is 01:28:42 I assume this is freaking CNN over the weekend, basically saying, yeah, nothing to see here, guys. No, there's something to see here. What it turns out to be is these sanctuary cities are basically hemorrhaging. They cannot take all these migrants. So when you see the White House and your good friend, your dear friend,

Starting point is 01:29:04 Korean Jompierre, basically saying nothing to see here. Numbers are not spiking. I'm sorry, left wing outlets as including CNN are reporting this. Okay. James O'Keeve actually saying clear, friends of ours, they're going down to the border. They're seeing what's going on at the airports. They see what's happening. So the veil has been lifted, my friends. Oh, I was just gonna say, too. I've been seeing videos. They did one report on it on Fox that people that are living in New York, tax paying, you know, good Americans, having apartments,

Starting point is 01:29:37 migrants are showing up to their doors, knocking on the door, begging and asking for food. I just sent Rob another video of downtown Manhattan, Venezuela and illegals that are in the country in New York. They don't want to stay in the hotel because they're buying five to like six hot plates, like those heating things for food time, and then they're selling them to construction workers.

Starting point is 01:29:57 It's shorting the hotels of all electricity. Look at this dude, this dude's recording in New York. They took over his uncle 16 wheeler and they're living in the 16 wheeler, just played so you can show the kid. Rob, look Patrick, that's where. That's in New York. These migrants, look at that little kid. They're living inside of the back of 16 wheelers

Starting point is 01:30:17 and he's like they're using the money for a scratch off lottery tickets underneath. They can go into that trailer with children. They can't go in there. Hello. We cannot physically lock the trailer cuz children are in and we definitely can't drive away with the Children's that's the whole family Children are in the ship. There's the baby of Jason the back of baby Challenge to figure out what's going on

Starting point is 01:30:36 No family chose up to make these guys want to live in the Should look like someone suggested I have a Those are Jordan. Okay. We went there. Now you can pause it for one second. So Adam, basically they're illegals. They're in the hotel that they're letting them stay in, but they're hooking up all these hot plates to sell because I get the hustles is there.

Starting point is 01:30:57 It's shorting all the electricity, so they'd rather leave and not be by the rules and live in some, that's some guy's property. And then once the video keeps going, you don't have to play it up. There's 30 to 40 scratch off tickets. They got money, they have cell phones, and they're chilling. It's like, when are we gonna admit enough is enough. Myoracus and all these rats, they don't care. And now, what's the point of no return?

Starting point is 01:31:18 How many have come in so far? Eight million? And these past three, the problem is we don't know the numbers. We know that it's more than ever. And it's insane that people aren't getting mad about something like this people get more mad about trans rights than that like this thank you the white in the ass is a way bigger issue than than Dylan Mulvaney 100% if I could add one more thing good there's a couple different things going on here number one the vast majority of these people are basically fleeing their

Starting point is 01:31:42 countries because there's there just economic woes and no ability to make money there. If you want further proof that capitalism is better than communism, look no further than why of who's coming to this country. So the number one country and it's not even close is Venezuela. Venezuelans, hardworking Hispanics are friends that I know I have a ton of Venezuelans friends. Amazing. They are fleeing communist, socialist, Maduro, Chavras regime to get the hell out of there.

Starting point is 01:32:13 Yes, they're coming from Cuba, yes, they're coming from Haiti, yes, they're coming from Guatemala, shout out to Mario, yes, they're coming from Hard Doors, yes, they're coming from Nicaragua, but the vast majority of these people are coming from Venezuela, because they have no economic ability to basically move up to Totempool, but then here's the caveat. And electricity and water,

Starting point is 01:32:34 all that. All that. All that. Exactly, it's like, here's the caveat here. We just named all those countries and they're fleeing them because of poverty. Why are people from Russia coming in? Why are people from China coming in? Why are people from China coming in? Why are people from Iran coming in? China everywhere.

Starting point is 01:32:48 What's going on here? Well, in this situation, because they've caught people from other countries, other than the Central American and South American countries. Well, you nailed that Adam, they're coming because they know, I guess what's another incentive? Nobody's gonna stop you. You're gonna come in and, oh, by the way,

Starting point is 01:33:04 if you go to California, that guy with the slick back hair, he's giving you free insurance. Why wouldn't you wanna come? How many more incentives and oh, and by the way, it's all a plan because now, once the election starts coming out, they wanna do something that kinda disrupt everything. All those people that you're talking about from all these different countries,

Starting point is 01:33:23 there's terrorists that 160 that we've caught that are already here waiting. Just waiting for the go. And that's the year, talk about the year of chaos, just wait and see. Just wait and see what's gonna happen. And meanwhile, the White House says that border surges not unusual.

Starting point is 01:33:42 And nobody checks her when she's out of it. Nobody has the balls. Nobody has the balls during that press briefing to raise her hand and go, hey, Karine, well, one of your lazy eyes, you're full of shit. You're lying.

Starting point is 01:33:53 If it was during, you went after a rise. I hate the shit. Everything you could do, you went after the, she bothers me so much because you know what a strategy is when you're playing poker. What? What?

Starting point is 01:34:03 You know? Wow. You can't. You can't this is when you're playing poker. What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What?

Starting point is 01:34:11 You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What?

Starting point is 01:34:19 What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? You're not proud of you, this is when you're playing poker. What? What? You're not proud of you. This is what this writer from Wall Street Journal is telling us. Let's see what this feedback and this counsel is. Maybe we ought to just take the day off. I'm putting yourself through so much stress. Here we go. Each new year people tend to

Starting point is 01:34:36 overcome it to self-improvement goals and engage in self-defeating behaviors referred to as the overs, such as overworking, overreaching, you know, overthinking driven by need for psychological safety. Research indicates that over-achieving and over-thinking do not necessarily lead to better performance instead they are associated with mental and physical health issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction. Overfunctioning can become a harmful cycle where the brain craves more overdoing, to break free, by the way, I don't know how your body is feeling so far, but I want to meet this

Starting point is 01:35:15 person to break free from the grip of overs. Individuals can set new boundaries, tolerate temporary discomfort, differentiate between danger and dislike and recognize that they are ultimately responsible for their own sense of safety and well-being, leading to a healthier and more balanced life. Adam, why did you want a story? Look, there's a lot going on here. So everyone makes New Year's resolutions. Okay, we all know that everyone's gonna work out, everyone's gonna do their best, they're gonna eat healthier, and we're gonna save more money.

Starting point is 01:35:48 Did you know that actually the second Tuesday of the month, second Friday of the month, is a national holiday called Quitter's Day. Quitter's Day is a day, look it up Rob. We're basically people basically said, I've already quit all my New Year's resolutions and it's time to get back on the ball over here. Oh, God.

Starting point is 01:36:05 Okay. So, Quitter's Day, there it is, right? There are Quitter's Day. It's a second Friday and January, Paul's in January, a 12th year, basically, basically when all your resolutions go out the window. But here's what I would argue for happiness. Happiness to me is having meaning and purpose of your life.

Starting point is 01:36:22 A lot of people basically think that happiness is just sort of just this thing where they just, I'm just gonna, oh shit. Oh, someone's gonna give it to Konga. I was just having a dance, right? Come on, baby, baby, do that Konga. I'm gonna send it to me. I don't wanna disrupt.

Starting point is 01:36:37 Happiness is doing the Konga. It is. I will give you that. But everyone's so obsessed with work, life, balance, but I would argue that work gives you purpose, work, gives you meaning, work, basically working with the team accomplishes something. So I might get on a little rant here right now.

Starting point is 01:36:56 The biggest part, we talked about the COVID issue of being the sort of the generational health crisis of our time. There's a bigger health crisis that nobody's talking about. At least we're not paying the most attention to it as we should. And that is a mental health crisis among the youth. Meet the press, Kristen Walker, good friend of yours,

Starting point is 01:37:18 I love her. She actually did a great expose of what's going on in this country, especially among the youth. The Surgeon General America called it the youth mental health crisis, the defining public health issue of our time. Here's some numbers for you, when you talk about happiness, work life balance.

Starting point is 01:37:39 This is why you need meaning and purpose in your life. The lifetime depression rates in 2015 were 19%, 2023, 29%. Whoa. Okay. Adults who say a family member has experienced severe mental health crisis, 51% of adults here in America today, US suicides, all time high in 2023. 12 million adults have thought about suicide

Starting point is 01:38:01 and 1.7 of attempted suicide. But okay, veterans, you guys have two veterans right here. The veterans crisis line as a record number of calls this year. When you talk about depression, anxiety, whether it's made up, whether it's real, it's pervasive in this country at this point. But the reason to that, the reason that's our youth mental health crisis, it all comes down to social media, is this is what they've been attributed to. Persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness

Starting point is 01:38:28 among teenagers in high school, 57% of young women, 57% 29% of men. So double women, okay? 42 states here in America, there are attorney generals, 42 out of 50 states in America have sued meta, because they're the owner of Facebook, they're the owner of Instagram.

Starting point is 01:38:48 We know this. They have sued meta for basically what they've done with Instagram and Facebook. 95% of kids under 17, teenagers use social media, 35% use it constantly. So when we talk about these crises, these health crises, the whatever happened with COVID, the biggest problem what's happening with America's youth. So I know this is a conversation about happiness, but happiness comes around having meaning and purpose in your life. And a lot of young people don't have jobs. They don't have careers. They're still in high school and they're on social media every single day and they're just not happy.

Starting point is 01:39:27 Absolutely. For happiness in a new year, stop over doing things. America, start with your kids and put them on time budgets on social media and online. Living online and staring into the digital box for their ratifications and for their affirmation, which is what likes, followership, and everything else about social media is about, is why those 42 AGs went after meta for good reason. It's time to build the thing called,

Starting point is 01:39:55 what's it called? What's it called? A relationship. A relationship with your kids. See that your kids have relationships with other good kids. Because overdoing everything, yeah, let's stop with the overdoing online and overdoing social media. And then focus. They pick a sport they like. They pick an after school activity they like. And they focus on that.

Starting point is 01:40:16 Focus is a, when they say overdoing everything, I disagree with part of that. Because when your kid focuses on something, I've had kids that focus on things. Not the same things I focused on, I disagree with part of that. Because when your kid focuses on something, I've had kids that focus on things, not the same things I focused on, I didn't guide it. I let God show me what were the perclivities of my girls, and they were very different from one another. And I get them to focus on that, and I give them support,

Starting point is 01:40:38 and I keep them off of the digital cesspool. I'm by the way, you know it's crazy. Two days, if you remember, Vinny. I don't know if it was Aspen or if it was when we came back. Tico watched Social Delima. And I said, so what'd you think about it? I thought it was very interesting. I said, what'd you think was very interesting?

Starting point is 01:40:56 Well, I see how people are spending way too much time on social media and tada tada tada. And you know, he's just kind of like processing it himself. I think a part about, first of all, this message here with this Wall Street Journal story about over this, over that, over this, knock it off. Anything big you ever do, you're overdoing. When you're having kids, you're pregnant,

Starting point is 01:41:17 don't over-pregnant yourself because under-pregnant yourself, what do you want me to do? I'm pregnant, like all I'm thinking about is being pregnant. When you're doing a startup, don't over start up yourself, under start up yourself.

Starting point is 01:41:30 No, you're supposed to over prepare, you're supposed to over achieve over any of that stuff versus just trying to be one of these, you know, no one, and by the way, the person that wrote the Sardakon Wall Street Journal, you would not have a job with Wall Street Journal. If the person that started Wall Street Journal wasn't overdoing it, just so you know that, okay?

Starting point is 01:41:50 And you wouldn't have a platform to have this be shared out on Google, YouTube, on this podcast, if somebody wasn't overdoing it, Julia, just so you know that. So yes, I totally get it. And I hope it's working for you with your family and everything else that you're doing But that doesn't apply to almost anything big that happens in life somebody went above and beyond To overdo it, you know, we finished a took Tiko yesterday To the movies and we watched this new Roman movie. I don't know if you've seen this new Roman movie Yeah, the wrong movie that comes out about 1930s and great depression They're broke and these kids come out of nowhere and they're the junior team

Starting point is 01:42:26 and they end up winning state and then they end them winning the nationals and then they go to the Olympics and they be Germany. And it's the most incredibly underdog. This guy's sitting next to me crying, I'm like, dude, what are you crying for? He's like, I just joined a rowing group at 56 years old.

Starting point is 01:42:40 I relate to this because he's shown me the app, 1.5 million rows I've done and look at what these kids did These guys had to overdo it because they didn't have a choice Julia Some of us didn't go to a good school because our parents couldn't afford to send us to good school We don't have the choice of under or stagnant. We have to do over and by the way when you live in a life That your your you have this feeling of things can be taken away from you, you're always staying in that little bit

Starting point is 01:43:09 of the paranoid mindset, right? You're always staying in the little bit of the, all of the stuff could be taken away from you. What if I don't have this anymore? It almost causes you a little bit to be what? To have perspective, to have gratitude, and to realize, man, I'm so lucky to have what I have right now. You stop being arrogant and cocky about losing certain friends.

Starting point is 01:43:27 You stop being arrogant and cocky about losing certain relatives. You stop being arrogant and cocky about losing certain opportunities. I wanted to say it's actually a very good place to be at, by the way. Rob, can you pull up that meneck thing that Kelly sent you with the different pictures? In the last week, okay, if I tell you during Christmas, within a week, I did over a hundred menecks with different people, okay? The stories, the most incredible stories. This guy just sent me a meneck today.

Starting point is 01:43:53 I do two menecks on meneck. You get to ask me any questions myself, Tom, Vinnie Adam. Any questions you may have, you can send it in a text, or an audio, or a FaceTime, and have a conversation with. One guy wanted to ask about, hey, you know, I'm a 500 million auto company I've built. What do I do right now with the next face that I want to go through exit? This other guy sends me a message today. I'm going through challenging times. My father died at his funeral, 3,000 people showed up within 24 hours to his funeral. Can you imagine 3,000 people show? You're in conversations about parenting money finance.

Starting point is 01:44:25 Menect is officially the app built by influencers for influencers where you get to DM somebody and you get a respond back. My last 150 messages I respond back on Menect, they're all audio, which means I respond back to you in audio. I think so do you, so do you, so do Tom. Any questions you want to ask, we just cross a hundred thousand downloads on Menec. This is officially becoming a networking app because you can DM people on Instagram.

Starting point is 01:44:51 They don't have to get back to you and they don't ever get back to. 95% of the time people don't get back to you on LinkedIn and Instagram. You know why? What's in it for them? On Menec, they'll get back to you because you're paying for a response

Starting point is 01:45:02 and if they're responding back to you, isn't valuable enough. You get to put a one star, or a two star, or a three star, or if they give you a valuable response, you're like, my gosh, that was a great feedback. Here's a five star review you get to see on Menec. So I'm officially addicted to this app Menec. It's the first app I check every morning when I wake up.

Starting point is 01:45:22 Yeah. And I said, but before we go, I'm au, I'm a comedian, I'm an actor, I'm a writer, okay, whatever, whatever. I've gotten video calls from people that didn't have nothing to do with comedy and it was just life, like I'm talking about life or death type stuff where I gave them advice. I'm not a professional in that field, but just a conversation and what happened with this person and where they are right now. But I don't want to say names or what the circumstance was. But I was in, I was like, why me of all people? He was just

Starting point is 01:45:52 like, I, because I know that he needed somebody to tough to bother. He's got all the money in the world. He's like, I just need to somebody to basically punch me in the face. And I knew it was going to be you. And the guy is doing way better than he is. Like, I don't want to say anything to get it's ridiculous. It's, it's, it's ridiculous better than he is. Like, I don't wanna say anything to get, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. That's awesome. Look, Menech has been incredible. For the people that ask questions

Starting point is 01:46:14 that need answers, the people we do phone calls with, but it's been even more incredible for us. Because we wanna hear from you. We help you with your problems. We see the best conversations. Some of the best conversations. There's people that I've, when I first met them, they were struggling and now they're thriving and it's amazing and they've enhanced their careers, their pants, their life. It's so rewarding for both sides of the equation and these are things that no DM is ever going to do. Amazing. And and I wanna give one major shout out.

Starting point is 01:46:45 Shout out to the attorney that upcharged you for the half hour. Oh yeah, whatever that's said in the eight minutes, okay? But, because that guy basically created a biohemoth, a monster called Monect. No, that's how this open guy started. I had a seven minute call with a lawyer, and he charged me for 30 minutes.

Starting point is 01:47:01 I said, why do you charge me 30 minutes? He says, minutes roll up. I said, I wanna pay you by the minute. He says, minutes roll up. I said, I want to pay you by the minute. He says, that thing doesn't exist. Eventually, we launch an app call. Minect, do you have a minute to connect? Let's menect. And now menect's all over the place.

Starting point is 01:47:13 So use the QR code, whoever you want to talk to. Hit me up, test it out. Send a message to Vinny, Tom, myself, or others. There's a bunch of other people on there as well. I'm in too bad, thanks. Yes, and Adam. Next story. All right, let's go bunch of other people on there as well. Okay, too bad, thanks. Yes, and Adam. Next story, all right, let's go to the next story here,

Starting point is 01:47:28 and we can go to, let's go to the boxing one, USA boxing, to allow trans women to compete against female boxers. What? US boxing has introduced a transgender policy allowing male boxers who transitioned to compete in the female category starting in 2024 athletes must meet specific criteria including declaring their new gender identity undergo and gender reassignment surgery and providing regular hormone testing for minimum of four years following surgery the policy comes after the International Olympic Committee, IOC, ruled in 2021 that each

Starting point is 01:48:08 sport and its governing body should decide how to address transgender athlete participation. The move has generated mixed reactions as female athletes have raised concerns about competing against transgender woman, citing feeling of being scared and unsafe, finning. I genuinely thought last year, towards the end of 2023, the whole trans, especially with the trans sports thing, was kind of dying, they're doubling down. And like, and I want to ask one thing.

Starting point is 01:48:37 So, let me, let me tell you the actual policy. So minors, under the age of 18, must compete as their birth gender. All right, thank God they're at least doing that and way classes outlined in the boxing rule book USC boxing will only communicate with minors with the parent or legal guardian present but for boxers over the age of 18 That's 18 years on your birthday a boxer who transitions from male to female is eligible to compete and the female Category under these following conditions, right? The athlete has declared that her gender identity is female

Starting point is 01:49:07 and has completed gender reassignment surgery. The athlete, for a minimum of four years after the surgery has had quarterly hormone testing and presents USA boxing documentation of hormone levels. They must demonstrate that her, because he's transitioned, total testosterone level in serum has been below five NMOL slash L for the past 48 months. And then the athletes total testosterone level in serum must remain.

Starting point is 01:49:33 It has to stay low, but here's my question to you guys. The bone structure and the mass and the, and the he's still going to beat the hell out of this female. Like, can we all agree to that? I can't wait to see. Oh my God. I actually, this is ridiculous ridiculous because now Adam cuz me and you are betting guys Can you bet on this can you and I want to who are you gonna bet on on that fight? Who are you gonna actually bet on I'm gonna take the dude that used to be a dude that's playing to dude

Starting point is 01:49:58 That's that's why because don't think about it cuz yo your strength your bones your mass It is unbelievable that we're having, imagine this isn't some rinky dick Lee. This is USA. Bob, if there's one thing is happening here is good. USA boxing is saying, okay, enough with the declare on Monday win on Tuesday crap that Lee Atomas did with the Ivy League championships for swimming.

Starting point is 01:50:23 Declarum Monday win on Tuesday. They're saying four years, and you have to have gone through everything you just examined. From the surgery to long term hormone. So what they're saying, if you are totally serious, and you go through everything, and it's been four years, okay, fight as a woman. But to your point, you know, height and reach are skeletal and are still there,

Starting point is 01:50:48 even if you've had the surgery to correct length. Even if you've used the Dixas, Tom likes this. That's the surgery. I'm ready for this hot. What are you telling the youth that want to compete and stuff like, hey, listen, you can still do it, just chop off your crotch and wait for years and you'll fight.

Starting point is 01:51:06 That's not a good role model. Like, you know what I mean? Like, what would you be? You know who's laughing at this? They know why it is laughin' at this. They know why it is saying they're saying, no wonder you are not what you once were boxing. Like, can you imagine Dana White now announcing,

Starting point is 01:51:22 okay, moving forward with NUFC, we're gonna allow transgender to compete in the womb. What do you think is a likelihood of Dana doing something like that? No, zero. Not happening. Absolutely zero. Speaking of laughing.

Starting point is 01:51:35 Did you hear about Dave Chappelle's new standup bit? Of course, I saw it. Did you see it? I saw the whole thing. Okay, so allow me to kind of encapsulate the story here. We all know that Dave Chappelle was I saw the whole thing. So allow me to kind of encapsulate the story here. We all know that Dave Chippell was calling out the trans community who got attacked on and just wanted to walk the off stage

Starting point is 01:51:51 or something like that. No, this was part of that bit. But so we see what's going on with Dylan Mulvaney, you brought up Leah Thomas in Canada, by the way, now. They are now officially putting tampons in the men's boys, boys, elementary school. Great, okay? Cause we all know that us boys,

Starting point is 01:52:09 we get our period every month. I mean, that's just obvious, right? All our kids, we get it. So, but Dave Chappelle, as he does, he tells a story that you don't see it coming. Comedy's all about misdirection. So he tells a story, I'll try to tell it in a minute or less. He goes, huge Jim Carrey fan.

Starting point is 01:52:31 Huge fan. I never met Jim Carrey, but my buddy, the late great Norm McDonald, was doing a movie with Jim Carrey. And he goes, hey man, you wanna meet Jim Carrey? Yeah, I would love to. But they didn't tell me that he was filming a movie at the time.

Starting point is 01:52:49 Man of the movie. What was the movie? It was a man on the moon. Now, I know you're a method actor. Jim Carrey got so into this role that he, even when they said cut, he was still him. He still was Andy Kaufman. Yup.

Starting point is 01:53:06 Amazing comedian. Jim Carrey's hero. So he played him in a movie. So nobody told Dave Chappelle that Jim Carrey was not breaking, okay, the Andy Kaufman thing. So he shows up and Dave Kaufman's, Dave Chappelle's like, Jim Carrey, how you doing? Like huge fan. This is Dave Chappelle,appelle's like, Jim Carrey, how you doing? Like huge fan. This is Dave Chappelle fanboying over Jim Carrey.

Starting point is 01:53:29 And Jim Carrey's like, hello, nice to meet you. Thank you very much. Jim Carrey, Dave Chappelle's like, the part. Like, I can't say this ain't who I thought it was. Like, and he says as much as this guy tried to pretend that he was actually Andy Kaufman, I knew that he was Jim Carrey. And he goes, that my friends is exactly

Starting point is 01:53:57 how I feel about the transgenitor. Oh, he killed him. He murdered him. As much as you're trying to be Andy Kaufman, gentlemen, you're really just Jim Carrey. Okay, as much as you're trying to pretend that you're a woman, Dylan Mulvaney, we know you got a dick on that dress.

Starting point is 01:54:15 Nobody's buying it, especially Dave Chippell. So only as Dave Chippell can do these types of stuff. And by the way, I can sell beer already, camp box. And by the way, that leads to, you know, you're hearing a, when you told a tampon story, you're not kidding about that story, right? Canada passes laws requiring tampons in male bathrooms.

Starting point is 01:54:35 They pass laws to allow tampons in male bathrooms. It's about time. I mean, I was gonna start saying something. I know Canadians. I know Canadians. I know Canadians. So let me read this to the government Canada under the tutelage of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has passed a law requiring all employees

Starting point is 01:54:52 to provide a menstrual products or tampons in all federally regulated workplaces. The regulation specified that menstrual products must be in all toilet rooms, regardless of their mark to genders. This means that every female identified, male identified and all gender toilet rooms will need to have menstrual products. The Canadian government's website, Rita, explains that unrestricted access to menstrual products provides greater protection for menstruating employees and makes sure that they feel

Starting point is 01:55:19 safe to use a toilet room. The best reflects their gender. It further mandates that the oil employees must ensure the presence of a disposal container of tampons in all restaurants. Tom, when you hear the story as a Canadian yourself, how much do you support just and through those decisions?

Starting point is 01:55:36 You like it, eh? Justin Trudeau is bonkers. And the provinces I line up with going to Alberta, where there's a lot of oil and beef, hello, Albertans, hello, Calgary. There are people in Canada that find this bonkers just the way that we find at bonkers in our political realm. And this guy comes from basically the bonker family because you look back to Pierre Trudeau

Starting point is 01:56:00 his dad and Margaret Trudeau his mom. I mean, Castro, so real nice, good looking family. Exactly. Remember Margaret Trudeau took off for a summer with the Rolling Stones, you know that? She took off and that was our joke. Hey, did you hear pure Trudeau built a patio this summer, really? Yeah, he paid for the concrete, Margaret laid the stones. So that's a Canadian joke going back to the 80s, by the way.

Starting point is 01:56:21 But I think it's nuts. I think it's nuts. And it's literally nuts. Yeah, or not less or something. It's just Trudeau pandering to the woke to say, here, I did something. It's that for consumption. And now it's a cost and an inconvenience and a lunacy to all of the various building owners everywhere.

Starting point is 01:56:43 They're going to have to do this under law. Guys, I don't have kids yet, okay? You know, I don't necessarily know how the math works, okay? Tom, you've got two girls, Pat, you've got two boys, you've got two girls. I was under the impression that all young boys get their periods. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:57:03 I just, that's what I thought. No, but you know, when we were in high school, we all got, I remember when we all got our period to get really the worst in gym class. We all had ramps. It was so bad. You know, I don't know. But you know, that's going on in here. You know what this is saying though?

Starting point is 01:57:17 This is saying that girls that are like, I'm a boy now are going to be in the boys room with dealing with their period. That's what that is. You know that, right? It's women that are going into the men's bathroom. That need, it's just unbearable. It's unbelievable. It's just unbearable.

Starting point is 01:57:33 It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. That the 99% needs to basically pander to the 1%. And when I say 1%, it's like 0.001%. When are we going to start living in reality? We're not. When young boys have tampons and menstrual utensils to basically, when they walk into a room,

Starting point is 01:57:50 when a 10 year old boy, a 12 year old boy who literally has no clue what the hell that is. They're just gonna be throwing them at each other, spitting them at each other. Like, it's gonna be satire of the highest level. This is the movie, we are living in the movie idiotocracy. If you haven't seen that movie, it's a sim, it's a sim.

Starting point is 01:58:10 Go watch that movie and it's literally what is going to happen. Like we're almost there, but it's unbelievable that that, but with all the problems that that idiot did, with all the truckers and everything that Canada's dealing with, that's on your priority list, that's what you wanna do. Shame on that. That's amazing. That's what you want to do. Shame on that. That's amazing. That's what you want to do. That's amazing. That's what you want to do. Shame on that. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing.

That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. Yeah, yeah. So, all right. So for the longest time, when you think about Thanksgiving games, when you have Thanksgiving, what sport plays on TV? What's ball?

Starting point is 01:58:50 Okay. When you think about Christmas Day, what do you think about for the longest time? You know, it's always been basketball. Always, yeah. Tantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantantant Christmas Day was always basketball and they would have a bunch of different things that would happen This year it was a different story so I post a tweet this year I want to talk about some of the numbers on NFL against the NBA how the NBA is getting destroyed So I posted this I'm glad you have it raw perfect So I get this from this one website

Starting point is 01:59:20 I want to give these guys proper love because they're actually classy guys and they reached out to me and And I simply reshared whatever was in the score. I'll give it to him here in a minute. They're somewhere there. Numbers don't lie. The current MBA regular season product absolutely sucks. And if I get some more viewers in one game, then MBA gets in five games combined. Vinny ready? Times two. Watch this number. Go ahead. So can you pull it up a little so we can see the numbers Rob? NFL's average viewership over three, 2022 Christmas Day games was 21.9 million. That's the average Vinny. The average of NBA game on Christmas Day was 4.3 million. By the way, during Michael, there used to be 8.8 million, okay? Double. But it is what it is. So let's go past this. Rob, then go to the story. Check this out with numbers. George Carl decides to respond back to me, okay? And he retweets, and if you don't know who George Carl is, he's got a thousand and eleven seventy five minutes in the NBA.

Starting point is 02:00:19 Seattle Supersonic. One that's also Denver. This guy's been around the block. No question about it. Rob, just go back to the story. He reted and not there you were at the right place yet so so right there so here's a couple other stats from George crawl to coach by the way as an m.o.b. owner your product sucks worse than any major sports 400 million 450 million basketball play basketball around the world and a number skyrocketing while five million people around the world play football, and that number's plummeting, numbers don't lie. It's a numbers don't lie, the current, okay.

Starting point is 02:00:49 So then I respond to back to them as well, they can go a little lower. Here's more exchange. But let me show the numbers, go up, go up, rock, rock Seagulls, 29.02. I thought Ravens 49ers would have been the most. 27.23 million. Look at the NBA games on Christmas Day. Bucks Knicks, 20.5 million. Warriors Nuggets, 4.1 million. Celtics Lakers, Vinnie. Christmas Day. 5 million, that's it. 76ers,ers heat only 1.3 million and Mav's son, you're talking about Luca against Booker, against Durant,

Starting point is 02:01:31 one and a half million people. You combine all the NBA games together, times two, it still doesn't beat an NFL game. One game, one game. Now, the heater, the defending conference champion, Jimmy Buckert, right? Nobody cared, now keep going lower, keep going lower keep going lower now watch this jimmy didn't even play so so gets worse if it gets worse when I'm comparing

Starting point is 02:01:50 to so so another guy responds back and he says that's not fair because the NBA plays 82 regular game seasons and the NFL only plays 17 I said no problem let's do that if the NBA averages 4.3 million views per game in the regular season. The NFL average is 21.9, 82 times 4.3 equals 352 million views. The NFL only plays 17, 17 times 21.9 equals what? 372 million people. George Carle being the fact that he's a basketball guy, I told coach Carle, that's like a basketball player taking only 17 shots, scoring more points than the other guy that took 82 shots. Pretty embarrassing.

Starting point is 02:02:30 Go a little lower, okay, when it comes down to the dollars, keep going. When it comes down to dollars, I think it's a little bit above that with the dollars, okay. Here's a revenue, 2022. NFL took in 17 billion dollars revenue MLB the boring sports that he's talking about 10 and a half billion dollars NBA took 9.6 billion and MLS that's a small little product that's coming up. It's have one and a half billion NHLs that 4.9 billion he asks I explain why I think this has happened and number one every leak has to decide who it's number one customers

Starting point is 02:03:04 I think in the NBA the number number one customers, the player. They've shit on the customers. They've shit on fans. They've shit on clients that wanted that father that can only spend $600 a year to go to a game to watch LaBron play. He's probably taking a day off that day. That father that wants to take his kid

Starting point is 02:03:18 that he can only afford to go watch one game, that guy's not gonna play 82 games a season. Are you out of your mind? Zion takes every other game off and is getting paid account amount of debt, is getting paid number two. The NBA contracts protect players more than owners and a last but not least, point number three, rather if you wanna go to number three,

Starting point is 02:03:34 if it's there or not. The NBA went walk during COVID and became a hundred percent political organization. Once it happened, you know what happened to their viewership last 10 years, they lost 50% of their viewership the last 10 years. Do you know what is the most viewed finals game of all time? Michael Jordan 1998 against the Utah Jazz. 36, 38 million people watched.

Starting point is 02:03:55 36 when he had the flu. Yeah, when he touched off, it wasn't even sad. Yeah, Russell, 36, 37, 38 million people. You know how many people watched the last finals game? Game five or game six? 12 million people, 13 million people. You know how many people watched the last finals game? Game five or game six? 12 million people, 13 million people. The NBA product is dead as of today. So now, sports, business, all that stuff. Time I'm gonna go to you first,

Starting point is 02:04:14 then I'm gonna go to your thoughts on what's causing NBA to do this. Is it dead? Is it NFL? That much of a better product. What's going on with the NBA today? The NBA, it is true that all around the world, you need five pairs of sneakers and a ball

Starting point is 02:04:31 and you can play basketball. And so there's a lot of things happening globally. But here in the US market, and let's just talk about the US market, it's everything you just said. It doesn't represent, it's not aspirational for the fan I can't remember the last time I paid for tickets and I used to pay for tickets all the time to go see the Lakers play Hey

Starting point is 02:04:53 Dallas isn't out. This is oh my god. Let's go see Dirk, you know, and I loved it I am by the way I haven't taken my kids to NBA games and and I think they've lost the heart of the American consumer and they're running around the world to find new markets to make up for it. Because I think they know the issue they got. Adam Silver knows what's going on. That's why they're trying to open up China so much. That's why they focus on all this international open up.

Starting point is 02:05:22 Because they see what's happening. And they could say, oh, well, you know, the shift to streaming cable and all the cable companies going out and then Hulu and YouTube TV, really. NFL hasn't had any problems with viewership. It's back. MLB has had a couple strikes that have really that missed one world series back in history and baseball has always come back eventually because they know the customer and they're coming to the customer to put a great package out there.

Starting point is 02:05:49 But for all the reasons you've talked about, the NBA doesn't care. They're just going for rights markets. The NBA is running around trying to earn rights money on global television and the global appeal to the sport and And to the youth. I have an idea of when it's gonna change. I have an idea when it's gonna change. But go ahead. Well, there's a lot going on here.

Starting point is 02:06:10 And I mean, there's in the most respectful of ways. I think you stated the obvious. I think we know that the NFL is the bohemith that is now officially America's sport is no longer baseball. But what I applaud is you put the numbers behind it, you put in the work. It's like we had Usman here the other day.

Starting point is 02:06:30 Amazing fighter, right? Awesome, ridiculous. I was like, what would happen if you fought Nagano? He's like, nah, bro. And I'm not, like a heavyweight versus a middleweight or a lightweight, it's not a fair fight. Yeah. The NFL, especially on Christmas, during the NBA on Christmas, it's not a fair fight. The NFL, especially on Christmas during the NBA on Christmas, it's not a fair fight. Nobody gives a shit about the NBA right now. Nobody gives a shit about the NBA, basically until basically April, when the playoffs basically

Starting point is 02:06:56 start May, and then it starts happening, and then the finals is typically in June. Right now we're in the end of the NFL season. Basically people are jockeying for positions over the next few weeks. Next week is week 18. It used to be 16 weeks, 17 weeks now it's 18. So there's so much stuff going on here. If you look at the world's most expensive sports franchises,

Starting point is 02:07:17 seven out of the top 10 are NFL teams. There's only three non-NFO-related teams in the top 10. One, we know a guy that's a part owner of one of them who called the Yankees. Then you got more expensive sports. Number one is Dallas. That's having far. You got Yankees.

Starting point is 02:07:34 This is baseball. Gold state, which they basically have skyrocketed over the last decade, thanks to Steph Curry. And then it's all NFL teams, Patriots, Rams, Giants, Bears, Raiders, and then it ended all NFL teams, Patriots, Rams, Giants, Pairs, Raiders, and then it ended in Lices. Who's next right? Oh my gosh.

Starting point is 02:07:50 Yeah, Loss Vegas Raiders. So, but NFL is, there's only one sport that has a day, the holiest day of the week, some may say, that is dedicated now to the NFL. Okay. There's no day dedicated to the NBA. There's no day dedicated to baseball. Sunday is dedicated to one sport. And by the way, Saturday is dedicated to college football as well. By the way, shout out to the Michigan Wolverines, go to the National Championship versus

Starting point is 02:08:21 versus Washington right there. But football is America's sport. Days are dedicated for it. And you put the numbers behind it. And of course someone like George Carl, I'm still waiting. I'm going to push back, bro. For five minutes, I'm waiting for a push. But there's no push.

Starting point is 02:08:36 Oh, there's no push back. I'm just saying you stated the obvious. Everyone knew this. Can I put them behind it? But by the way, let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. What is a more, Rob, can you put this as a poll? What's a more exciting product that you like to play?

Starting point is 02:08:51 Okay, watch this. Just a viewer, what product do you like to play more? Put soccer, put baseball, put basketball, put football. Not MLB and F all, just what game do you like to play? Okay, I'm actually, I don't want us to answer because we'll influence it. I just want to know what's going to happen within the first few minutes, because I'm willing to tell you if you have any opinions on this, do you have anything about this one situation?

Starting point is 02:09:16 Yeah. I could you, you touched on it for one point, but I think we kind of just mold over it. How much do you think the way that the NBA handled, you know, with COVID and then you mentioned this in the tweet, LeBron James being the way that the NBA handled, you know, with COVID and then you mentioned this in the tweet LeBron James being the face of the NBA the King James during all of Trump's things his attitude towards Trump when that girl was shot and killed I forgot I forgot her last name which by the way the cop was exonerated

Starting point is 02:09:40 The LeBron James tweeted and called for violence he goes was exonerated, LeBron Drain tweeted and called for violence. He goes, you're a pretty, how much of that woke kneeling for the national anthem. Hold on, that anti-American sentiment. Just recently he walked into a game, sat on his ass and didn't do anything, a lesson learned from the Dillemolvani. Americans, America, we don't like that crap. We don't like that anti-American. So we don't want you pushing your gender crap

Starting point is 02:10:06 on beer. How many billions of dollars did Bud Light you lose on that? And I'm telling you, LeBron James had a big impact on people going, because dude, I used to watch the NBA. Then all that kneeling and all that, oh, everybody's racist, America sucks. We're all, nobody like that shit.

Starting point is 02:10:22 He took this sweet, right? That he took this sweet. Yeah, and he took this down. Your next, and by the way, this cop was acquitted because of the situation where he was legally, like, he got, what happened on LeBron for tweeting this? Your next accountability. Absolutely nothing.

Starting point is 02:10:36 And you know what that is? That's a felony. If you're calling for a, dude, if you, if you did that, you're going to jail. You know that, right? If you pointed a picture of a cop who's under investigation for a homicide and you say you're calling for violence for that cop, Patrick,

Starting point is 02:10:51 that's a felony. Are you crazy? So did you guys think that's a... He's gonna retire some point and I can't wait. No, but I think that's gonna... I have two things here. I have two things here. Two things is gonna change a game of NBA.

Starting point is 02:11:03 By the way, what's the voting, Rob? I'm just curious to know what people are saying. What's the... If the answer's soccer, I'm gonna be so disappointed. Then get ready to be disappointed. 35% for soccer, 26% for basketball, 25% for football,

Starting point is 02:11:18 and 14% for baseball. Okay, so baseball is last. Okay, fine, watch this. Here's what I will tell you. I think two things are holding the MBA back. LeBron James and Adam Silver, period. Because David Stern was a boss, you feared him. He was a liberal, he went to Columbia,

Starting point is 02:11:34 I believe he went to one of those liberal schools. Can you check to see what schools David Stern went to? Type in David Stern because almost every one of these guys, they're pretty much liberal guys. I want to zoom in, what law school, Rutgers and columbia there you go yeah and it would add them silver to see where adam silver went to school i'm curious because however adam silver went to uh... i think also the same zoom in he went to shakago and

Starting point is 02:11:58 do it okay he went to do good for him so for me these two guys are part of the problem because uh... adam Silver fell for a con organization called BLM and they wrapped BLM all over the place and we found that afterwards that was a con job. Okay, those guys fooled you Adam Silver. And you were naive and you fell forward. And number two is LeBron James is a divisive face of the NBA. You know, when you think about a face of the NBA, you know who you want, you want somebody like a, I don't know, like a, um, I don't have a, who's that?

Starting point is 02:12:34 Yannis. Yannis says you, you want to Yannis, you want a Brady, you want a Michael, you want a Kobe, you know, what, you know, what Jordan did when he came down to an event that happened with cops shooting and back and forth. He gave both, I think it was a Chicago PD and a non-profit organization. He gave each of them five million bucks. You know what he's trying to say? Hey, here's where I am. I support both.

Starting point is 02:12:57 Is that right there? Can you Google that? Michael Jordan pledges to give five billion dollars to African American Museum and he gave five billion dollars to I believe to a police Uh, uh, you know, no to a police some kind of charity that he gave it to organization to LeBron is divisive He makes the game unattractive. He makes it unattractive to watch unattractive to follow I haven't followed the Lakers ever since this guy joined the Lakers. I'm just now right there. Is this the one? Yeah, Michael Jordan donated a million dollars each to

Starting point is 02:13:28 Institute of Community Police Relations and NAACP. You know what he's saying to you? Hey, guys, both of you are important. Go to your think. Here's a million bucks. NAACP and Community Police Relations. I respect the cops. I respect. That's the premier example. He's not telling he's a Republican. He's not telling he's premier example. He's not telling you he's a Republican. He's not telling you he's an independent. He's not telling you he's a Democrat. All he's saying is, look, both of you guys, here's some money, go do something about it.

Starting point is 02:13:53 Lebron could never, ever. All you have to do is come out and give salute to our military. All you have to do is come out and give a salute to police officers. All you have to come out and give a salute to what these guys make you feel safe to play basketball. He's not capable of doing that. And Adam Silver unfortunately, Roger Godel, we went hard on Roger Godel during Colin Kaepernick. But you know what Roger did?

Starting point is 02:14:16 He slowly realized, okay, that was a mistake. Let's kind of work our ways back to here. What happened to the NFL? Boom. Back at it again, right? Adam Silver has proven he's not capable of doing that. Okay. I would be, you know what I'd be curious about. You know how we were at the RNC the other day in whatever the debate was in Simi Valley. Okay. Yeah. You were there, right? And we saw a professional NBA player. You don't need to say the name, but you saw the 6-11 guy, you're like, oh shit. And you want to talk to him for like 20, 30 minutes.

Starting point is 02:14:47 What are you doing here? Yeah, I'm just trying to learn, right? I'm just trying to learn. Really? Yeah, I'm just trying to learn. That's why I'm over here. Huh, interesting. I wonder if they did this poll.

Starting point is 02:14:59 If there's a poll I'd be interested in is the following. What percentage of MLB players give to the left and the right, what percentage of NHL players give to the left and the right, NBA and NFL, which one do you think's gonna be majority of the money being given to the left? NBA. 100% and it won't even be close. Out of all those sports, it won't even be close.

Starting point is 02:15:23 It'll be NBA all the way at the top. Majority money being given to Democrats. And it makes sense. It's a turn off of a product. And LeBron has that rich and that victim, when you talked about this, with Tico and Dylan, that victimhood mentality, oh, it's like bro, relax, because you're not a victim,

Starting point is 02:15:42 and you're making everybody feel like they're a victim. Americans are talking about a real victim to finish this podcast stuff so we can go. Yeah, let's talk about a real victim. Rob, can you pull up this victim deer in Aspen video that I said this up. Yeah, go ahead and set it up. It's very important. You take it. So we're in Aspen the house that this guy and I Dude, one of the best Christmases I've had, and I love you for inviting me. This house is like the dumb and dumb or, it's like the sickest house,

Starting point is 02:16:13 go, it's snowing, it's skiing, it's everything. We're already going to go ski, all right? We're in Rau. Mario is going with Ethan, and they're leaving Ethan. His son looks back and goes, hey dad, I think because there's two, there's a pole, there's everything, there's a lake.

Starting point is 02:16:30 It's kind of iced over and he goes, I think a deer just fell in the lake. And Mars are we leaving? He's like, what? He's like, are you kidding? He goes, no, I'm telling you a deer. Mario turns around, gets out, the chef, Albert, he comes out and he's recording this. And just

Starting point is 02:16:48 to throw this out there, Mario is an Aspen. He's a Guatemalan dude, okay? And out of nowhere he yells at Ethan. He's like, but go, go get a rope. And then Pat let you, I'll let you take this story. He gets the rope and then play from here. Go ahead, Rob. Just play from right here. There's a deer. A deer fell in the... This is an aspin. Go ahead. Watch this.

Starting point is 02:17:08 That's Mario walking. By the way, that leg steps on that. He's going down. That's the deer. Listen. One last throw. One last throw. That's Mario screaming.

Starting point is 02:17:19 No, no, that's the deer screaming. Watch this. He got it with one throw at him. Last throw. It is up? That's out. How the hell in Mario is? He got it with one throw at him. Last one. Did it help? That's Albert. How the hell did Mario do? He's on the ledge.

Starting point is 02:17:29 He's on the edge of the ice. That's the most dangerous part. Good job. Dude. I win a hot beer sound. Look at this dude. It's amazing Mario bro. Oh, that was sick.

Starting point is 02:17:44 Dude. The city of Aspen needs to send the letter to Mario Aguilar watch it The deer's breed the deer is about to die can't get up. We're trying to stand up on the ice and and his hooves I'm the one who Mario does as if he's done this 50 times I'm watching this video. I'm thinking of local support. You know guys coming from the city And then I look at the camera like that's Mario Dude look at this a guadam You get up with your truss them at this point. Yeah, I'll have a relationship To watch this watch this slow down you good. Let me guess

Starting point is 02:18:23 Yeah, I deer shoot some three minutes after that. By the way, so that's the day of the hero. I know this sound. Wow, Mario. I know this sounds like a, what I'm telling you right now, like it's straight out of a movie. So that's Mario. The next morning, I get up, no joke,

Starting point is 02:18:40 to walk outside and my dad's like, go see what's outside. Rob, I just sent you to tweet. Pull up the tweet I just sent. That's the one, watch that one. Turn the audio on. Look at this. Look at this.

Starting point is 02:18:52 Look at this. This is the next date. Oh, I saw this video, yeah, they're all here. Look at these guys. Surrounded by Elks. Almost looks like a... They came to pay respect to their godfather Mario. The movie.

Starting point is 02:19:09 The world behind. It also looks like every hunter's dream. Oh, look at all that knees. Is that James Earl Jones voice? That's a couple of hundred. By the way, there's 200 of them outside. Easily. They gave a prayer if they stood in that Mario.

Starting point is 02:19:25 They made a certain unique chance. And they're just saying, we just want to think on behalf of the Elk and the Deer community, thank you, Mario. I don't think people will stop it. I don't think people realize Mario has never taken a rope and last so in his life, he threw it in one shot. If he doesn't get it in that one shot, that deer is dead. I don't even know if Mario's ever even been around a deer. No, dude, and the mind you, he's on the edge of the water, which is the most dangerous.

Starting point is 02:19:50 And then he's like, eat that! Come over here! Come add to this danger. But if they go in, it's a wrap. They don't know how to get out of that. Let me tell you something. Right, I'm not gonna say any, you know, Mario just became a father.

Starting point is 02:20:01 Yes. Okay. Young Gabriel's how old is Gabriel now? Maybe like six months? Less than the six months. I don't know when a man and woman after giving a child, when you go again, when Mario's wife, Barbie, sees that video.

Starting point is 02:20:16 I'm just saying, I'm like, you know, I'm just saying, I'm like, you know what, you know what lines you can officially use on your girl. I love it when you saved, dear, I say, Bambi, baby. What do you mean? What do you mean?

Starting point is 02:20:29 It's a Bambi and Barbie. What do you mean when she sees the video? She's pregnant. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Aspen, if you're listening, send this man a letter thanking him for what he did to the deer in Aspen.
