Starting point is 00:00:58 But when a friend like this man shows up And he and I go back I don't know 13, 13, 14, 2009. I mean, we'll maybe tell you the story a little bit here, the history of how this whole thing got started. But glam back, a big name in media. I said this two weeks ago, three, I'll say it again, maybe the best teacher. In my opinion, number one, best teacher when it comes on to teaching history and politics on TV the last 20 years. I don't know if I put anybody ahead in the teaching area. There's a lot of guys that are great entertainers, which you absolutely are entertaining. There's

Starting point is 00:01:36 a lot of guys that are very smart, many of them, but they don't know how to communicate. And sometimes you can go get a message from somebody that's doing a story and then you're like, oh, what did he say versus with you was like one, two, three, four, I can recite it and explain it to somebody else. That's not easy to do. You did that. And I watched you doing that, which was fantastic. But rumor has it, you know, he started off DJing at the age of 13. So now we don't know if originally maybe he was trying to go up against Tiesto and some of those. We don't know what he was DJing down in my am. And then from there obviously,

Starting point is 00:02:06 he's been with CNN, Success at CNN, Success at Fox. I mean, he's been at both of them, right? CNN on Fox and in obviously, on media network, the blaze, if you go to their headquarters in Dallas, it is a Bahemoth headquarters, the former paramount, right? Yeah, it's a paramount lot. Beautiful lot that you got there, fantastic.

Starting point is 00:02:25 And then from there, you've written so many books, we were talking about a couple of the books that you and I, when I was there at your museum looking at the special items that you have. At the same time, there's a documentary now available at the blaze.com, which we'll talk about today. We'll even show the intro, the commercial of the trailer of it at the end.

Starting point is 00:02:43 It's called The Real story of colony rich. We'll also talk about it. This is a blaze original production. The link will be below both in the chat, as well as the description for you to find and in the comments section. And in his latest book, dark future uncovering the great resets,

Starting point is 00:02:58 terrifying next phase, which is available on Amazon. And it's kind of perfect timing, because, you know, I'm sure you had a great time dinner with Klaus Schwab this week. I'm sure that was fantastic. I love him. He's like one kitty cat on his lap away from being a Bond villain.

Starting point is 00:03:13 And with that accent, like imagine him telling like a good night, a nighttime story to his kid. Yeah. Never mind the accent. How about the Star Wars suit that he wears? I mean, the guy really, I mean, it's central casting. It's almost like, who could we get that would be so villainous that no one would believe when you said, no, the guys of villain, they'd be like, please, would he come like that

Starting point is 00:03:39 if he was a villain? You would all not be. I'm not saying I'd be happy. I'd like the with the is it COVID? No, next. You know what the best part to which we'll talk about today. Is that a real outfit? Look at that.

Starting point is 00:03:56 You know what reminds me of it reminds me of like pajamas. That's the pajamas you would work with. That is eyes wide show. He's the guy from Dune, the new movie that comes out of the liquid. That's him. I think Glenn's right. He's the guy from Dune, you're the guy in Dune, the new movie that just comes out of the liquid, that's him. I think Glenn's right. It's like a Bond villain.

Starting point is 00:04:08 Do you remember, do you expect me to talk gold finger? No, I expect you to die. That's him. That's close. That's him. That is true. So we got a lot of stories to go through. Let me first set up the stories.

Starting point is 00:04:20 And then we'll give it a campaign update, the most important campaign update going on with Mon connect between Adam and Vinnie and Tom. It's getting very competitive craziness. Vinnie broke my record yesterday. But I can't, I ask. Sure. I mean, I have built several very large Wall Street traded companies just by doing advertising.

Starting point is 00:04:43 How much is it worth for me to endorse one of you? I'm just saying. I mean, I'm going to say in a 25 bucks, you know, telling what Vinnie would do. I'm going to get you to endorse me. But wait, that is funny. I mean, this is a blue card. It's not even a black card or it's a blue card. Because he votes blue. And it's still smoking.

Starting point is 00:05:05 Yeah. Well, when you're at Vinnie's level. I'm trying to get into somewhere at lunch. So here's some stories. Let me go through stories first. We're going to talk about the truth about what happened with Colin, Colin E. Rich, Texas. We'll talk about that.

Starting point is 00:05:18 There's this conversation going on about, you know, what are the red marks on Trump's hands? The goal is to get to the bottom of this. There's different. Even who said he thinks it's syphilis? Who's the guy that said that? What's his name? James Carville? I think it's syphilis.

Starting point is 00:05:31 They're really just looking for anything to put out there for him not to be able to shake hands with voters, but we'll talk about that. Trump demands total presidential immunity, even for acts that crossed the line. I want to get your thoughts on this, that's Rolling Stone. Mickey Haley has a South Carolina problem. Her own home state is Trump County. So should she drop out before New Hampshire, because if she loses to Trump and South Carolina, it is going to be absolutely embarrassing. We'll get your thoughts on that. The Santis said something, which was kind of interesting. He said he regrets early strategy of avoiding the media. I think somebody kept saying that for two or three months.

Starting point is 00:06:09 I remember they got the guy. I remember that. I met a handsome guy. I was a little bit too. That's my favorite story today, but I can't with some reaction. I want next NATO warrants of all out war would Russia. The next 20 years again, nice, gentle message.

Starting point is 00:06:25 RFK junior season opening as more black voters, Sauer, on Biden, tyranny, Trump vows to block any fed effort to launch digital currency. CBDC is something a lot of people are concerned about. Rand Paul consequences for Fauci should be jail. Good. That your thoughts on it. Laffable Heritage Foundation leader,

Starting point is 00:06:48 bashes world economic form during Davos event. By the way, how do you know that? I love that. When he gave the speech, it was in his own language. So you have to listen to the AI version translator. He's gonna give the speech in English, and you're gonna love what he says. To their faces on why world economic

Starting point is 00:07:05 forms are problem. We'll talk about that. Klaus Schwab. I'm going to ask you questions. Ready folks? Listen to this prediction here. That's right. The elections will soon be a quaint relic of the past.

Starting point is 00:07:18 We can make that happen right away. We don't need more. And you will have no question. Yeah. Make that happen right away. We don't need more. And you will have no question. Yeah. I would just push this button. Biden's DOJ finally admits 100-Bitans laptop is real. What?

Starting point is 00:07:35 Chinese media says Taiwan independence means war. Okay, now what does that mean? We'll talk about that. Representative Elise Stefaniano, James Ground in Trump running mate, race, she's a killer. I love her. I love her. She's a beast when she was talking

Starting point is 00:07:51 about Claudine Gay and all those, you know, so wonderful folks at Wharton and what's the other school? I'm not. There was a man and there was a farmer. Yeah. Bob Eiger's paid double. Yeah, one good thing about capitalism is, when you're running a business, if you do a shitty job,

Starting point is 00:08:04 you go out of business or you don't make money, but if you run Disney Hmm, and you Fire 7,000 employees you lay them off and you you produce bombs after bombs after bombs You get a salary raise and this race is not a small. It's a big one capitalism's changed a little bit guys I mean this is good news for those that don't want to perform at the highest level JP Morgan Jamie diamond also gets a raise. His salary is now roughly $36 million. We may have to put him on the neck to make some money, but we'll figure that part out. We need you. Why India isn't the new China? This is a WSJ story. And Mark Cuban,

Starting point is 00:08:36 who has become such a wonderful devout loyal face of DEI. He's your neighbor. Marks. But he's a libertarian. He's a libertarian. He's a big, high-ranking guy. I haven't found any libertarian in him. Yeah, he's a libertarian. But he is somewhere in there he is. He boxed Twitter ex under Elon Musk as his little echo chamber while defending D.E.I.

Starting point is 00:09:00 and then spurs coach Greg Popovich, woke, ain't that bad. Now, before we get into these stories, the race for Menec real quick, here's where it stands, guys, it's coming down to the wire. Adam 216, this race is really between Tom and Vinny right now. Tom's at 377. Vinny is at 422.

Starting point is 00:09:19 It is a close race. First to 500 wins the suit. Okay, $2,000 suit. This is an internal competition we're having with in here. By the way, again, Menect had another record break and we guys are asking questions and going out there asking questions from 510, 15 different people.

Starting point is 00:09:35 But last message here, Vinnie, do you have a message to your voters before we wrap up? Adam, less than 30 seconds. Adam go. Who's on? I wrote the, well, Glenn, Glenn is endorsing me, so I just want to buy you

I, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,'s kind of, you know, he's a shark, but he's dead in the water. And Tom, I love the guy, but as we're walking and he looked at me and he goes, all puppies are stupid. And he's still to care about dogs. I think he kicked me. And he said, he kicked me. And he was like, he kicked Kareena's dog.

Starting point is 00:10:15 He kicked your dog. You know what he said, guys, if you love dogs, I love the guy, but you can't vote for him. He said, all dogs don't go to heaven. So if you love dogs, you can't vote for him. Guys, get on my neck. Any questions? All I need is 180.

Starting point is 00:10:25 You need 78 to win. I need 78 today, guys. This can happen by the end of the podcast. And did a shot of Mr. Glenn Brown. Rob, can you get more? That's the original shot. The QR code so they can do that. Tom, do you have any thoughts?

Starting point is 00:10:36 Any thoughts? Well, it's really tough to follow. Um, especially, um, Tom, there's a dog here crying. No, no, it's tough to follow because, you know, I haven't really been really interested in this since committing to give everything that I win to charity because I'm so diagnosed.

Starting point is 00:10:55 And I've just, I've been preoccupied. No, in all seriousness, thank you for everybody that's been in on this. Menecht is all about getting answers to you. You're looking for answers about business, about startups, about financing and thing. I love the answers that are coming, the questions that are coming in because it says that there's so many people in America that are trying to do what is uniquely American. Use capitalism, liberty, and freedom to be your own boss and open something or do something.

Starting point is 00:11:22 And it's not people that are out there trying to spend their kids college fun on doing something people are like, hey, I've got a side hustle going here and here I just want to optimize it a little bit and I am glad to help and so all joking and everything aside I love the fact. I love what you've done because you've raised awareness for a great app Then there's Tom's QR code. So go ahead and do that, but the truth is, Tom, do you do, you will kill the dog anyway? You can't get the dog. That's all done. The Korean was furious.

Starting point is 00:11:52 Go ahead and have a good time. I want to say I'm really proud of what Vinnie's doing these days. He's stepping into the business world. There's been a comedian his whole life. He's a changed man. I'm very proud of this guy. I connect with him there.

Starting point is 00:12:02 Tom is the man. If you need, like, we're getting great value by connecting with Tom on connect, you know, I joke that I think he's sort of played with his currency like China out there and basically deviled his currency. You're getting a great deal with him. But for me, I think we all know. Glenn, you'll appreciate this. It's a rigged system. They don't want me to win. We all know it. I'm the number one on the app the whole time. But the media, the fake news media, PPD is implanting people. Anyway, I'm rooting for my guys. It's really bizarre because I didn't necessarily win this one, but I'm going to be the first to a thousand. It's not even. You think you'll be a

Starting point is 00:12:37 first to thousand. I'm up seven eighty nine total to Tom six sixty eight. He's okay. Are you willing to bet on this and then five twenty five? You will know bet on this one. I am, sir. Okay, are you willing to bet on this one? And then 525. You willing to bet on this one? You willing to bet, sir. Who you willing to bet? You willing to bet on that. You're going to get 2,000 people at a time.

Starting point is 00:12:51 Every time we have a situation, what's the first thing to say? What do you want to say? What do you want to say? What do you want to do? Listen, I'm here for the long term vision. Well, I'm saying he's saying you want to bet 10,000. I'm going to be the first of 1000.

Starting point is 00:13:01 How about we do this? For once, we go to dinner. You pay for dinner for once. You have you ever been in a dinner? Shake you paid for dinner. Shake on it. And we gonna do this right now. Bitty, did we not just have lunch that I paid for the other day for you? I'm saying for him. For once we go out, I pay valid.

Starting point is 00:13:19 I want to get into that. Yeah, get in there. But if Lynn got on right now, he even a thousand in two seconds. I mean, first of all, first of all, I mean, that was really nice what you said about the boys, but that's exact opposite of what you said before we went on the. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. Are you trying to tell me that media only says that? Oh, come on, go ahead. Let's get into the story. Let's get into the stories.

Starting point is 00:13:46 Let's get into the stories. Adam has perfected it at dessert at every time. Let's get into the story. Let's run for parking lots. Let's get into the stories. Those are the, okay, so let's go through some of these stories that we got. Let's start off with a subtle story and then we'll go to the big ones. The Sanctus regrets early strategy of avoiding media. Rob, if you have this clip, if you can play it, he's being asked, I believe it's Hugh Hewitt, which Glenn, you work with Hugh Hewitt for many years.

Starting point is 00:14:10 He's asking, you know, what could you have done differently? And I respect the fact that he was being honest, go ahead and play this clip on with the centissette about his campaign. You deployed in Iraq with the seals, as there are legal advisor, you know they do a hot wash after every mission. you've been at this for a year and a half now what errors did you make that you're willing to say i shouldn't have done this

Starting point is 00:14:31 but i'm going to correct it going for it i'm going to do well in march well look i mean i i think that uh... you know presidential campaigns are a lot about about media like you i spent a lot of time on the ground in iowa and it's good when you meet people you convert them but there's just so many voters out there that you got to do it i came in uh... not really doing as much media uh... i should have just been blanketing i should have gone on all the corporate issues i should have gone on everything i started doing that as we got into the end of the summer

Starting point is 00:15:01 uh... and we did it but we had an opportunity i think that come out of the gate and do that and, but we had an opportunity, I think, to come out of the gate and do that and reach a much broader folks. Now I'm everywhere. I mean, I'll show up wherever I am. Now I committed to doing this debate tonight on WMUR and ABC and New Hampshire. I'm the only one that's willing to debate. So, Glenn, you've been around for a while.

Starting point is 00:15:21 What do you think? I mean, first of all, I like DeSantis. I like him. I like him a while. What do you think? I mean, first of all, I like DeSantis. I like him. Yeah. I like him a lot. But he didn't have a chance from the get go. As soon as they indicted Trump, it was over. There is a feeling in the country that guy is getting screwed. And if you like Trump, you also like DeSantis. I hated the fact that they were blasting each other back and forth. But if you're gonna vote for Trump,

Starting point is 00:15:51 you know, your second guy is probably DeSantis. So with everybody running to Trump, he could have been, you know, doing naked interviews with everybody on the planet, and it wouldn't have changed anything. So even a naked interview wouldn't have helped. I've seen it. That would have been a lot of it must be. So okay.

Starting point is 00:16:12 So let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. So to me, I'm only looking at it from a strategy standpoint, right? Strategy standpoint, you know, whenever you lose, we've all lost one of the things you do when you lose your debrief, okay? And when you debrief, you're hoping the people that are willing to be honest with each other in a room, this doesn't need to be publicly, but when you sit down and honestly have the conversation and you say, okay, guys, number one, we spend way too much money on money. We spend way too much money here. We spend

Starting point is 00:16:42 too little money here. We hired a wrong consultant for different times. We chased it in a complete different way. You know, like building an insurance business, you can be a great salesperson, but maybe you're a terrible sales leader. So what helped you become a great salesperson doesn't help you become a great sales leader. You can be great and well-known in a city

Starting point is 00:17:02 because you're connected to the big church and you're connected to the, you know, whatever games that's going on or country club, but you're not gonna be good in a county. You may be good in a county, but not in a state. You may be good in a state, but not in a region. You may be good in a region, but not nationally. Running for president is a very different strategy

Starting point is 00:17:19 than running for governor. This is the Coke Pepsi Challenge. If you blindfold people, most people say Pepsi is better than Coke. But everybody knows Coke, okay? He's, he might be Pepsi to Trump's Coke. People are, once they indicted Donald Trump, it was seal. You think this over?

Starting point is 00:17:40 Yes, the Democrats by persecuting that guy. Here's the thing that people I don't think really understand. Except they do internally for them, but when you're looking at the race, they don't really understand the more rocks you throw at Donald Trump, the more rocks I feel, this is what the average person feels, I feel hitting me in the head.

Starting point is 00:18:03 If they're willing to do this to a guy who is the first guy that actually will stand up for the common man, he doesn't give a flying crap about the press. He doesn't have the political consultants that are going to bend him anyway. He's just not going to do it. And he, I believe, he actually likes the people in the center of the country. Okay? He's the only guy who has been speaking relatively honest to them. I mean, you know, you have to, there is no honesty with Donald Trump in some ways.

Starting point is 00:18:37 You know, you just take it for what it is. But he has tried to do his best in this is the, I think, what people feel. He's tried to do his best. He has made more changes in significant ways than probably the last four presidents combined. He's done what he said for the most part, and he gets kicked in the head. And the more they kick him in the head, they put him into jail. You're going to see his numbers go through the roof. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪

Starting point is 00:19:59 Must be nice and old or Ontario on this is very responsibility. If you are someone you know has concerns about gambling, visit connectsontaria.ca. Where are you at on Trump these days, by the way? Meaning, I think in 26, I don't want to put words in. I don't want to do it. I don't want to say that. That means we're moving from the story. Let's stay on the center. No, we're staying on the center.

Starting point is 00:20:16 So I want to wrap this up with the census and I want to come back to the Get Your Thoughts on the Sanctus. So do you, Tom, do you see something with the Sanctus when you're hearing a story like this about him saying, we could have started earlier, we could have done this earlier, we could have done this. Regardless of whether it would have helped him or not, what do you think could have been different

Starting point is 00:20:35 in the way he would have campaigned? Is it messaging? Is it listening to consultants? Is it, you know, who do I take counsel from? Who do I take advice from? Because am I running for 2024? Am I running for 2028? Where would you have said,

Starting point is 00:20:49 because on day one time when we started, you were team the Santas. When we sat in, when we had to call, let's face it. And by the way, not just you were team the Santas, a lot of people were team the Santas, right? With, this is gonna be the guy we can get behind because the drama doesn't come with it. That's what the Santas party would typically say, community would say. What do you see as somebody

Starting point is 00:21:08 that you supported that the momentum didn't end up happening? What do you think could have done differently? So first of all, I look at, and I listen to him what he just said there in that interview, he, he, and I see a head coach at the microphone in a losing locker room. That's what it sounds like. Well, we could have done this, could have done that, and he's trying to keep a bright face. at the microphone and losing locker room. That's what it sounds like. Well, we could have done this, could have done that, and he's trying to keep a brave face.

Starting point is 00:21:25 At the very beginning, before Trump was indicted, I believe that if he emerged and ran on his record of all the things he had done in Florida that he stood up to COVID, he kept things open, he stood up to Disney, and corporate special interest in the taxing, you have to remember what all those chapters look like.

Starting point is 00:21:42 And I thought, wow, if he takes that to a national stage, that is a very strong, soluble. I'm here to fix things for you and to make a better place for you very believably. And we had just seen the sweep election where he actually, with the help of Maris Juarez, had flipped Dade County. And so I said, I felt like that's very soluble. Point two, you asked me. I think this was a poorly run campaign I think it was an establishment campaign with

Starting point is 00:22:10 establishment consultants and establishment techniques and he never got eye to eye with the common guy he never went on me look at why was why was Obama on Facebook because it reached voters and it was a new medium and I'm going to do anything I can to reach everyone I can because I'm running against Hillary who's this massive, you know, political incumbent force. She's not the incumbent president. I'm just saying this is stabbing.

Starting point is 00:22:33 Totally. Of course. And DeSantis just ran an establishment campaign and didn't take advantage of podcasts or all the other things. It disappointed me the way the campaign was running from the beginning. And I agree with you. The minute they indicted Donald Trump, even people that liked DeSantis are going to come back and go, I can't believe they're doing this. And then all the oxygen comes out of the room.

Starting point is 00:22:56 It also becomes inevitable. Because the temperature is different in the room than it was at the beginning of the campaign. I knew a lot of people that were like, I'm just so done with Donald Trump. I love Trump. I love what he did, but can we move on, please? It's all this back and forth circus. A lot of people I knew felt that way. They wanted to Santas, but as soon as it became inevitable, as soon as it starts to catch

Starting point is 00:23:24 up and everybody starts jumping on and going, you know, they're screwing him. You kind of feel that way. Yeah, they are screwing him. And it begins to look inevitable. You're on the board, you're on board because you want to win. Yeah. So for, for, uh, you want to say one thing about the synthesis, the more and more I look

Starting point is 00:23:43 at it, it's actually become completely obvious because the republican party has changed tremendously since twenty fifteen when trump under the race to where it is now it is no longer the republican party of old you know about this probably more than anyone going back it is now the magaparty what do i mean we predicted that ronda santa's was going to do well in preseason this is my second that's why they play the game reference we are all preseason in preseason. This is my second. That's why they played the game, reference. We all preseason this preseason that we all know what happens in preseason. It's all speculation,

Starting point is 00:24:11 it's all hypothetical, then they play the game, then they actually have to get up on stage and give speeches and draw crowds. But he didn't. And this ain't that dude. And it's the smartest thing Donald Trump has. Trump didn't have to because he's already. I've seen out of the reruns. I've seen all the stuff, he still does stuff. Here's what I do know from 2015, 2016 to now. The Republican party at this current moment is not voting for anybody that doesn't have the it factor.

Starting point is 00:24:38 The people that will go up there and be like, fuck all of you, here's the deal. Why do you think the Republicans co-lest around the veck? Nobody heard of a veck nine months ago. He's got the it factor. Carrie Lake has it as well. Nobody has it more than Donald Trump. Look at all the losers who are supposed to be the next people up.

Starting point is 00:24:56 The jet bushes of the world, the Marco Rubio's of the world, the Scott Walker's of the world, the Huckebe's of the world. None of them have the good factor. Ron DeSantis is Jeb Bush, literally the governor of Florida, 2.0 with zero itch. You agree with that? It kind of.

Starting point is 00:25:13 I mean, his record is so good. He's, you know, he's a boring guy, but I don't mind boring. I'm not, I'm not, but the Republican Party does. Yes. The, the, the guy who I thought would do better. I didn't think he would be the nominee, but I thought I would do at least twice as well as he did is Vivek. Vivek Ramaswami is, I think he has a very bright future. I mean, he is spot on. He's never confused. He's such clear thinker, so rapid, doesn't take any crap. He is Donald Trump

Starting point is 00:25:48 except he's with a photographic memory. That's what he literally would have photographic memory. I'll give my thoughts on the Sanctus here. And by the way, it's so funny. Rob, can you go to Twitter? So the other day I'm at Mar- Mar- Mar-Lago, we're shooting a video for an event that's coming up. And in afterwards on the way back, I feel like getting a hot dog. So I get the hot dog. We post this video yesterday and we showed it to him. We posted this video.

Starting point is 00:26:08 I don't want to show you. You can play the video again. Let's just me getting a hot dog at 7-Eleven. See, this is a dream. When you make money, you get to afford to buy some. So high-end type of food. And I want one. And I want one.

Starting point is 00:26:20 High-end and hot dogs at 7-Eleven. I, folks, as you've had, you'd have a house. 7-Eleven. And if you you've had, you've had a 7-11. And if you're scary. So guess what he does. Vivek retweets it. You can pause that Rob. Vivek retweets it and look what he posts.

Starting point is 00:26:34 What is it? He retweets it zoom in a little bit Rob. He retweets on says, thank you for coming and don't forget to grab a slurpee. Sensing humor. And by the way, look how many views it gets. Go down and see how many, how many, how many, eight point nine views. But Vivek, tell him why he said that. But because of the Babylon, the way, look how many views it gets. Go down and see how many, how many, eight point nine views.

Starting point is 00:26:45 But people, they tell them why he said that. But because of the Babylon, the Babylon B story about making fun of the fact that the president Trump's gonna hire him to run the 7 or 11 at the White House. And then someone at the bottom says, it took a Indian and an Iranian to get people to realize we can laugh at ourselves, get over it, right, and move on. But just the point I want to give about the Santas, okay?

Starting point is 00:27:05 Totally agree with Vivax, super talented. The Santas, this, this, this the part, two things. Started too late at the beginning. He already thought it was gonna be handed to him. They walked in like, they're gonna be presidents. His camp talked to you as if you're already talking to the presidential campaign. Like, I would talk to them, like, did I'm disgusted with the way I talked to the team?

Starting point is 00:27:27 They all spoke to you like they're like this, right? And the guy wrote a paper the other day with what paper was it that he said, I was in a room with 26 other people. I don't want to say the name and all this other stuff. Spectator explained the fact of what it was like in the room that he disagreed. That's not the right approach to take. That's one thing. They felt from day one he's going to be president. Number two, started too late. Number three,

Starting point is 00:27:49 he didn't promote his book at all. Number four, which is the one thing that I think is a big mistake. In his book, he gives credit to Trump. I'm convinced he didn't want to promote the book because in the book, he gives too much credit to Trump and maybe that change with the campaign after they hired a consultant. They said, don't worry about it. Let's not promote the book anymore. So you know what happened? Here's the last one. Here's a guy that tweets for you a couple times endorses you and helps you become a governor.

Starting point is 00:28:15 You went by 34,000 votes. Second time you went by one and a half million votes. Everybody in your circles says, you don't need Trump anymore. I asked him, did you call Trump? Why would I call Trump? I don't need to call Trump. Did you call him and have a visit with him? Why would I call him? Why wouldn did you call Trump? Why would I call Trump? I don't need to call Trump. Did you call him and have a visit with him? Why would I call him?

Starting point is 00:28:28 Why wouldn't you call him? What do you mean, why would I call him? What is it? It's basic decency to just go to Marla, go and say, hey, President, I appreciate the tweets. I'm thinking about running. Great words, thinking. I would like to get your blessing and your thoughts.

Starting point is 00:28:44 What do you think? Then he is going to be saying, what? Wow. The fact that you came and asked me, that means you're coming from what kind of an approach, a respectful approach. I believe Vivek did that. No, but we're talking the same thing. Oh, no, I know that. And by the way, notice the difference. But here's the thing though, guess who didn't need to do that? Vivek didn't need to do that. Right. The Santhas is dead. Trump's not done anything for Vivek directly.

Starting point is 00:29:10 Vivek has not needed anything for the Santhas called for help. If he would have gone and had that small little meeting with Trump and he would have had that, could have been a little bit different. So Steven A. Smith, when I'm interviewing him, this is six years ago, I'm with him in Connecticut. I said, Stephen A, sometimes I wonder when you guys are trashing people

Starting point is 00:29:28 or you're calling players out, some of these guys are your friends, and maybe you don't go too hard on them. Magic Johnson, all these other guys. He says, I understand what you're saying. He says, it's fair, I'm good friends with Magic, and I'm good friends with some of these players. He says, but sometimes if I'm going to go on a player,

Starting point is 00:29:41 guess what I tell him, don't watch Tomorrow's Show. I'll call him, and I'll tell him, tomorrow I'm doing to go on a player. Guess what I tell him. Don't watch tomorrow's show. I'll call him and I'll tell him tomorrow, I'm doing my job, which is calling out players that didn't perform. Skip tomorrow's shows, because I'm going to call you out. Donald Trump plays hardball no matter what you say. I fully agree. If he's there to win, and he will,

Starting point is 00:30:04 I mean, he'll hug you after he's, you know, destroyed or, orchestrated a car wreck where you and your family are on fire. He'll put a blanket around you and go, Hey, no hard feelings. Right away. If you do it, for his killer, he'll just be sure you're dead. Yeah. If you know that, if you know that, then the advisors to DeSantis and himself

Starting point is 00:30:26 made the wrong move at the beginning stages. You didn't go on podcast. You were two above everybody. And this is just me, I just feel in my heart, because I'm watching this from all different angles. I still genuinely know, I think his wife, I think Casey was,

Starting point is 00:30:39 I don't think he 100% wanted to run. I think somebody was in his ear, his wife was like, you can do it. You could run, you could go for it. And then he did, because if you think about it, Glenn, if he just waited, if he just waited, and all this is happening with Trump and just kind of waited, you know, supported him and and and chilled out, maybe he could have even been a vice president selection. If you don't know, yeah. And I will tell you this, let's watch what happens in 2028, because I think if he runs again in 2028, and Trump

Starting point is 00:31:09 is not in the lineup, I think his whole trajectory is different. You think so? Yeah, I do. More than Vivek. That depends on what Vivek does. And this next couple of years. I, by the way, I am so in line with you and on that because truly so much can change so quickly that no, and especially with a Trump

Starting point is 00:31:31 because all you know, it's Trump could all of a sudden within three weeks fires Vivek. Vivek could get a job and then Vivek, all of a sudden, you know, it's like, you know, it's scary, it's like, well, the president is this, the president of that. And then all of a sudden, he flips on him and it's like, I can't believe you fired me

Starting point is 00:31:45 within 7-Eleven, whatever the day was. I want to agree with Vinny just for one second. You talked about the wife. I don't even think it's necessarily the wife. I'm sure there was a part of that. But it's the handlers, it's the team. You know, they famously say that culture beats strategy for breakfast.

Starting point is 00:31:59 He had all the strategy. We saw speaking of great teaching, Glenn Beck. We saw the whiteboard approach at the governor's mansion in Tallahassee. It was nice enough to invite us there. We sat there. It was a small room. And the strategy just came out and pat, did he not just lay out exactly how they're going to win? We're not going to run from the left because you can't beat from the left. Got to beat from the right. We're going to do this by this. There's going to be 30 percent of the voters here. We know that Trump's got 33 percent. We can get the 52 percent,

Starting point is 00:32:23 like we're like, oh, go, let's see what happens here. And then they started the race. And he tripped, he fumbled literal, like failure to launch on Twitter. And it's just the ratings have been down and down and down and down and down. Culture, which part, whether you like Trump or not, he's part of the culture and the fabric of America.

Starting point is 00:32:40 Where the San Dysous strategy, but you nailed it too. Because in all retrospect, if he just waited and supported Trump, imagine that like and learn for this next four years of God willing, they let him come in Glenn and learn how to do that. I mean, I tell you, last week Donald Trump called me and he said, uh, any advice on who I should pick for vice president? Oh, really?

Starting point is 00:33:03 Who do you think? Not that he, I mean, he's probably calling everyone. Well, that's great that you're on that list. Yeah. And so he said, who do you think? And I said, I don't know how you're going to feel about it, but this is the day. I think it was the day he trashed Vivek. And I said, Vivek.

Starting point is 00:33:20 And he said, why do you say that? He said, that's the number one response from everybody I've asked that question. And he said, why do you say that? He said, that's the number one response from everybody I've asked that question. And he said, what do you say that? And I said, A, he can defend you. He's right in your pocket. And while you're defending this, he's watching your back defending this. I said also, I think he's,

Starting point is 00:33:42 some of his ideas are really, really good. He connects with the youth, which now the latest of 18 to 24 year olds that voted for Biden, they're not voting for Biden, but they won't vote for Donald Trump yet. So you get that lower vote, the people that are excited about, hey, something fresh and different. And then in 2028, when you can no longer run, you continue for another eight years,

Starting point is 00:34:14 and you get the credit for bringing this new fresh face in. I said, I just think you become legendary. And what did he say to that? Well, we'll see. Yeah. I actually, the more and more and more, I think about it, having spent countless amount of time of the vex, absolute stud. I could see it, man. I could see it. Are you guys think?

Starting point is 00:34:34 Can you see that? I think both self-identify as women for the inauguration of the first woman. I mean, that would be the funniest thing ever. But what do you think about Tulsi? I like Tulsi. I like her a lot. I don't think she helps Donald Trump. Maybe she helps with the left, but, you know, or with the Democrats, not the left, but

Starting point is 00:34:53 maybe she helps. I think knowing Donald Trump, especially the Donald Trump of 2016, I think that's the move he'd like to make. I think he, well, a Democrat, somebody that is not normal. I think he really has a true desire to come together. And I think he believes we can come together just like after he wrecks somebody and then he destroys them. He's like, Hey, buddy, how are you?

Starting point is 00:35:25 You know, you're like, I'm a wreck right now. I'm on fire. Thanks. If 12% of America run elections, right? And I know people say it's not really 12% more like 40,000 or 70,000 different counties and all this. Well, let's just say the 10 to 12% libertarian independence that are like, dude,

Starting point is 00:35:43 I can't do Trump. Yes. But you know what, Tulsi, really? Okay, so you know how Trump strategically picked pens. And pens brought the Christian, yeah, it's okay. That guy's an easygoing guy, Christian man, boys, Indiana, you know, all this, okay,

Starting point is 00:36:03 we're not worried about him, but at least he's gonna be in his ear to make sure God, you know, all this, okay, we're not worried about him, but at least he's gonna be in his ear to make sure God, you know, all this stuff is gonna, so the independence are gonna be like, look man, I'm telling you, I'm sitting this one out, I'm not voting for, I'm not voting for, you know, the left, and I'm not voting for Trump, I wanna sit this one out. Now they're gonna be like, whoa, toasty, interesting.

Starting point is 00:36:21 So she can bring some of those ideas, maybe Trump's gonna be open to some of the Libertarian and independent ideas strategically speaking if your Strategies do you think it's more important to hire someone as a VP? That's gonna replace you the next eight years or do you think it's better to hire someone as a VP? That's gonna help you win today and the people you need to win today Is the independent voters and the libertarian voters like a Joe Rogan or an Elon Musk that would be willing to have her to do a live Elon Musk does a live with her or spaces with her.

Starting point is 00:36:55 It's like, hey, the vice president, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that , that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, as, look, I also was like, yeah, one point. But here's where I'm about, let me explain to you what,

Starting point is 00:37:05 it took me four years to learn what Biden, et cetera, et cetera. So you see that. I do see that. And that's why I would pick the vague because the vague could get on Joe Rogan and just hammer it, hammer it through. But it is the vice president. Anything could happen. I do, if I were president, I would never pick somebody like Kennedy picked Johnson. Johnson, you know, Johnson's the guy that I know he had to. I know. But he's the guy who stopped the Civil Rights Act in 1959. Okay. He was a racist till the day he died. But some say Kennedy wouldn't know one without Johnson. Yeah, I know, I know.

Starting point is 00:37:46 So, but can you find something closer to you? Now, maybe Tulsi is close, but I think there's enough conservatives as well that when you hear Trump say things like, we're not gonna cut any of the entitlements. Have you seen the debt? Okay, we're not an expanding country. You can take on debt as long as you're expanding

Starting point is 00:38:16 and growing and getting bigger. We're getting smaller. And you can't continue to take on this debt. And so when you hear things like that, I, as a conservative, I'm afraid he'll spend just as much as Joe Biden will. And the Republicans will go right along with him. And if you put somebody in that I don't know is rock solid on basic principles of our constitution.

Starting point is 00:38:43 And I think, I think I'm comfortable enough with Tulsi to be able to say, I think she's pretty solid on the billet rights and the constitution. You don't want, you don't want somebody who differs with you on that. Let me ask the question, then let me ask the question,

Starting point is 00:38:59 and maybe in a different way here. So, which sport do you like the most? What's your sport? Like what do you watch? You're not a sports guy. Football, which sport do you like the most? What's your sport? Like, what do you watch? You're not a sports guy. Football, I'm not really a sports guy. Okay, let's just say it's football, right? Okay, so, say you got somebody that runs a 424,

Starting point is 00:39:16 let's just say 434, Adam, you can participate in this one here. Say, personal runs are 434, there's 6195 pounds, and they bench 225 at the combine 22 times, stud, fast, can jump by 38 inch vertical leap, and coach comes in and like, look, this guy's a decent wide receiver. He's a 7 1 1 2 1 half, but he's not an 8.

Starting point is 00:39:40 Well, he just ran a 4 to 8 in a 40, okay? He can jump 38 inches. Okay. He can bench 22 times two plates. The guy's got an incredible personality, great attitude, smartest, a hell, great locker room guy, but he's not a full on wide receiver and his entire career is played wide receiver, but he can outrun everybody. What do we do with them? As a team GM, you know, coach, you could say, well, let's test them out to see if we can train them to be a cornerback. Let's see if we can put them over here. Can we put them at this? Can we put them at slot? Can we put them at this?

Starting point is 00:40:13 Maybe we put them on return and you work on them for two years and that's maybe put them kickoff return because he saw versatile, right? Do you think Vivek is versatile enough for him to be able to position him in a different place to still enforce and do his part yet. Oh, and I think Fulsie in a VP position, I just, I, you don't see it. I don't see it. I think it's a move that Donald Trump would like to do because it's way out of the box. I think people would respond to it.

Starting point is 00:40:41 I'm just, I'm just concerned about, you know, Trump is not Mr. Constitution. And so I would like Mr. or Mrs. Constitution on board with Donald Trump. You would like. I would like. But that's not that question though. There's a difference between what you and I would like versus what's going to win, right? So the question is, winning, putting talks, yeah, it's a valid, valid, valid your principles though. I know, but and that's what you get to choose to vote whatever where you want to vote. Right.

Starting point is 00:41:11 So you and I vote the way we want to vote. And vote could be amount. I'm in, I'll endorse, I'm gonna be quiet, but I'll vote, right? Yeah. What I'm asking here is more, the LBJ, John, I'm so glad you brought that up because that's the perfect example, right? And you just want to make sure this person's not going to end up killing. Yeah. Because that's neither one of those people are those types of ambitious, crazy wild,

Starting point is 00:41:30 Lyndon Johnson type of people. And again, I'm purely speculating. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we've already booked. We know what the mistress said on the site. So go on back to it. Percentage odds. Rob, can you run, matter of fact, I'm going to run a poll and I'm going to run who would help president Trump? I'm going run it on Twitter as well right now. Run a poll to see who would be more helpful for Trump winning as a VP, Tulsi and Vivek and I would be so curious in what the audience is gonna say, especially now because they've heard both sides of the argument.

Starting point is 00:42:02 Because I think both of them are rock stars. Oh, I do too. If I were Donald Trump, I don't necessarily know, I would name my VP right now, but I would look to Tulsi and I would look to Vivek. And I would say Tulsi, you wanna be the Secretary of Defense. Vivek, you wanna be Treasury Secretary. And I'd put him out on the road and I'd find these really unique people.

Starting point is 00:42:27 Remember George Bush, he had, um, people freaking out that he was, you know, just a playboy and, and didn't know what he was doing. And so that's when he got Colin Powell and Dick Cheney and they went out. He put the team in front of him. I think, yeah, I think if Donald Trump would assemble a young, vigorous, next generation team that could go out and campaign for him and say, we're the team, we're the team. I think you'd change everything. So, okay.

Starting point is 00:43:01 So then I would say this last thing and then I want to go to our sponsor real quick. So, here's what I would say. I think what's important is, you know, the way we built the insurance company, I'll never forget. One day, Marall and I, she I hired a 14 years go 13, she used to be my banker at Wamu, back in the days remember before she was Wamu and Wamu had all these different regional places. Wow. And I brought a ran UCLA grad MBA, smartest hell. And one day I say, look, she says, Pat, I want to be a C suite. So totally get it. I said, but first you need to report to a C suite before you can be a C suite.

Starting point is 00:43:34 And she says, I would like to report to you for as long as I can. I don't want to report to anybody else. I said, listen, are you willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill the vision? Is it vision or is it career? Which one's more important? She's, I believe in a vision. If you believe in the vision, you got to trust me. If you trust me, you report to a C-suite executive that's going to help you become a better executive, then eventually you'll be an executive. She goes under a CFO and he teaches her a lot. He was a phenomenal, very good for. Then she goes and takes a different position

Starting point is 00:44:09 and she learns under a different executive while she's working with me. And eventually she becomes a president insurance company, youngest, female president of an insurance company or size that we're doing, crushing it, right? And she's done a great job. I think it's very important for Tossian Vivek to hear this. Both of them are very ambitious, both of them to hear this. Both of them are very ambitious.

Starting point is 00:44:26 Both of them are very smart. Both of them are very creative. Both of them are very... They're calling. Sorry, that's... No, it's your phone at somewhere. Here's a Taco Bell. Do I have it behind?

Starting point is 00:44:36 We just learn Granz a ringtone, by the way. No, do I have debris? It has to be on. It's on you. No, I don't have a phone. Oh, is it that? Oh, it's the iPad. It's right there. I'm sorry, I forgot. It's all you. I don't have a phone. Oh, is it that? Oh, it's the iPad. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:44:46 I'm sorry. It's all good. Go ahead, don't worry. You're going back. You're going back. Yeah. You've been going back, makes mistakes sometimes. So here's what I was saying.

Starting point is 00:44:54 Probably China. If, by any chance, Vivek and Tulsi are listening, I think it's important for both of them who are very competitive, very ambitious, very driven to put America before whatever job they're going to get. Both of them would want very competitive, very ambitious, very driven to put America before whatever job they're gonna get. Both of them would wanna be the VP. If they're about America, let the administration decide

Starting point is 00:45:13 what job you would have. And do you see that in the empath? Do you see that in both of them? I do see it in both of them. I do see it in both of them. I think both of them are gangsters. Yup. In my definition of a gangster,

Starting point is 00:45:22 I mean a political gangster, which is what you need today to go against the enemy. If you don't have a political gangster, which is what you need today to go against the enemy. If you don't have a political gangster, this is not the job for you. I agree. So this is not gonna be four years of everybody writing nice things about you, the fact that you're, the greatest VP of all time,

Starting point is 00:45:34 they're gonna be trashing you for four straight years in front of your family. Time. I think this election, something very interesting has happened because we were all talking about this. The VP used to be what state do I need to carry? And I do a deal making to see if I can add to my probability of winning. Then you went to an era where the VP was sort of meaningless, but then we get picked on.

Starting point is 00:45:57 Remember how they tried to undermine Bush senior Reddank Whale? He's a heartbeat from the presidency. And they used to play that card, but people didn't see particular succession risk with George W. Bush senior Herbert Walker-Brush. And so they didn't worry about it. Today, there is more discussion because you have, and what's it going to be, an 82 year old and a 78 year old running, there's more discussion about succession saying, wow, the VP really freaking matters. And what they stand for matters because it's a platform for the future. I think we're finally at a point after probably 40 years here that there's some real honest discussion going on. I think

Starting point is 00:46:38 it's healthy for America about what that VP means and what do you, where do you think they would go next to your point? I think you're exactly right. And I think that's the VP that people should be talking about. There's no way that Joe Biden makes it another four years with his faculties. He'll be slurping soup out of, you know, a, a sippy cup, probably the first year in. So you see there doesn't happen now. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:11 I know. And Kamala Harris would be a nightmare. I mean, all of our enemies would go, are you kidding me? So how are you going to elect Joe Biden when you know it's going to be Kamala and he can't replace Kamala. Yeah. Yeah. He can't.

Starting point is 00:47:31 Yeah. Can you imagine Vivek on stage debating the whole of this game? He would destroy 3544 votes for far 69% Vivek, 31% Tulsi. But with that being said, let's go to our sponsor, Rob. Let's go to the sponsor. We'll come back for the next stories. 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.

Starting point is 00:47:53 But the one thing that's very important part of my portfolio, all these years is gold. I love having a percentage of my network in gold that I have access to in case of many different things. That's what we chose to work with our new sponsor, American Hartford Gold. If you have retirement funds that you cannot afford to lose, American Hartford Gold will ship physical gold or silver directly to your door.

So, okay, next story, Nikki Haley, okay, has a South Carolina problem. Her home state is Trump County. This is a Wall Street Journal country story. Country, I'm sorry, a Wall Street Trump country.

Starting point is 00:49:13 Yes, so here we go. Nikki Haley faced a significant challenge in her home state of South Carolina where Donald Trump is the front run of Paul Schoen, pleading by 30%, 30 points in South Carolina with Haley garnering around 20% support. South Carolina represent Nancy Mase, explain South Carolina likes Nikki Haley, but South Carolina would hailing garnering around 20% support. South Carolina represent Nancy Mase explains South Carolina likes Nicky Haley but South Carolina loves Donald.

Starting point is 00:49:29 What a bad line for Nicky. South Carolina likes Nicky Haley but South Carolina loves Donald Trump. Despite Haley's deep ties to South Carolina, Trump has garnered more endorsements in the state including Governor, Henry McMaster, support. Trump previously won South Carolina in 2016 primary and continues to lead in local polls. Some allies have urged Florida governor, Ronda Santas, another candidate to drop out of the race, but he remains determined and his campaign argues that Haley will exit the race after failing to win her home state.

Starting point is 00:49:57 Beck, Glenn, what do you think about the story? I think the people voting for Nikki Haley are not ones that are going to vote for Ronda Santas or Donald Trump. So I think those are, I mean, she's, look, I like Nikki. She was a tea party person. You know, I was there at the beginning with her, but I think either her strategy or her values are a rye right now. The thing she's saying about war, I mean, I used to be a guy who used to believe, you know, we go in there, we kick some ass,

Starting point is 00:50:32 blah, blah, blah. I don't believe that anymore. I think we are involved in everybody's business. I think the America that I thought we were overseas, I'm not sure that, I mean, you can't torture people, say, we're not going to torture. I'll ghost plane you to Egypt and expect the Egyptians to think we're the beacon of liberty. So we've destroyed all of that. This Ukraine thing is an absolute nightmare. I mean, you could be looking at end of days kind of stuff with Iran and Israel. I don't want to be involved in any of these things. And Nikki is saying, we've got to go in there and we've got to take out, you know, Vladimir Putin.

Starting point is 00:51:18 And then what? Then who replaces him? You know, that's not our business. And I don't think. I'm all for when a little guy is being beaten up, you know, stop bullies. And Putin is a very bad guy. He is a stone-cold killer.

Starting point is 00:51:37 However, I'm not so sure Ukraine is a really good friend. I mean, that's like, I can't be a part of your mafia club. I'm gonna be a part of this mafia club. No, thank you. Not Joe! Hey, L.T.X. Um, and some Frank's Red Hot. Yeah. You're just gonna eat these boring not-jows with no flavor.

Starting point is 00:51:59 Uh. Frank it up! Frank it up! This guy finally gets it! It's the perfect blend of flavor and heat. Frank's Red Hot, I put that sh** on everything. Metrolinx and cross links are reminding everyone to be careful as Eglinton Cross-Town LRT train testing is in progress.

Starting point is 00:52:17 Please be alert, this trains can pass at any time on the tracks. Remember to follow all traffic signals. Be careful along our tracks and only make left turns where it's safe to do so. Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. Tom. Yeah. Do you think she's done? Do you think like if you know and you're an advisor inside, and you're saying, Nicky, if you lose South Carolina, it's over. Do you advisor to leave before New Hampshire or do New Hampshire get second place and then step out?

Starting point is 00:52:53 Because by the way, if you do New Hampshire second place, you're kind of saying we have a chance, but if you go to South Carolina, get destroyed, you may permanently be done for a few years. And not just this election. Well, I think that's what's about to happen. We've been following these polls for a while. And first of all, you just got to look at the wrong numbers.

Starting point is 00:53:08 The best polling I've seen from anywhere in South Carolina has the census at six points. So if the Santa's leaves and they all mysteriously go to Haley, she's still five runs behind in the bottom of the ninth to Donald Trump in South Carolina. And in terms of dog years, New Hampshire is in like 10 minutes, right? New Hampshire literally is like in 10 minutes. And so it's hard to pull everything of the machinery out. I think they play it out, but she's gonna go down to South Carolina and get destroyed, where she doesn't even have the support of the successor governor from her own party.

Starting point is 00:53:44 So it's like, go figure this out. Adam, what do you think here? So look, here's my predictions right now. Here's what's that happen as of Tuesday. So today's Friday, so enjoy the weekend, everybody. As of Tuesday, Ron DeSantis is going to finish in a very distant third. He's pulling not even close in New Hampshire. He's going to drop out within one week.

Starting point is 00:54:04 DeSantis. He's going to drop out within one week. The Santhus. About now, right? And he's going to, he's going to enjoy the weekend. His last weekend, running for the president, Ron DeSantis, you heard it here, and he's going to drop out as of Tuesday. He's got no path to the presidency whatsoever. If you can continue to somehow raise money and people just want to still fund a non-existent campaign, he'll take the money. You think he's that's in flip-flops? Or he stays here?

Starting point is 00:54:26 He'll be flip-floppin, all right? Okay. Sure. Hayley's got a chance here. It's 49 Trump, 34 essentially Hayley. She's gonna give a blitzkrieg in New Hampshire. She's still gonna finish second, and then she's gonna have some decisions to make.

Starting point is 00:54:39 Now, the South Carolina primary is not till February 24th. She has one month to see how this, how the chips fall. If DeSantis drops out and somehow she takes his 10, 20% whatever he's at these days, and she can kind of put six. No, I'm just saying nationally. Yeah, it won't happen. I'm just, I'm just, guys, I'm giving you a path here to Nick. I'm just speculating.

Starting point is 00:55:02 I don't think that she's going gonna drop out until the South Carolina race. And I think she's gonna see it through. Yeah. She's raised how many, how many millions, $100 million plus, whatever the number is, she's got the money to last another month, and then clarity is gonna set in for everybody. And it's gonna become abundantly obvious

Starting point is 00:55:20 that this is the Trump party, no matter what type of side deal that the Bebek presented or gave his opinion on that Ron Ron was going to be Nikki's VP. I don't know that. None of that is the Trump party guys like it or not. And everyone else is dropping out within the next three days or 30 days. There's no way. I mean, if you want to be a VP and you're on to Santos, it isn't Nikki.

Starting point is 00:55:45 It's Trump that you should be the VP, but he's not a VP guy. He wants to be the leader. The best thing he can do is, and I'm split on this, but if you look at his, if you look at careers, Nikki Haley, if she is destroyed by Donald Trump in her home state. She becomes as effective as Walter Mondale. You want to run again? No, thank you. We've seen that show. She can't win her own state.

Starting point is 00:56:12 That's bad. But you're acting as if she drops out before she actually plays in the game that that helps her at all. Anyway, meaning like whether she drops out or whether she loses, we get it. Trump's the guy. It's not you, Nikki. Oh, there's a difference between your own state. I graciously drop out sorry for wasting $100 million. And I'm not even going to participate

Starting point is 00:56:32 in the race in my home state. Why does that make any sense? Well, what makes you look worse? What makes you look worse? They listen, I get it. Why delay the inevitable? Let me just gracefully bow out instead of the stop spending your money. Stop spending your donors money and then then go to a race that you already lost. See how she finishes the new hands. She's on agreement. Yeah, I didn't think it's right guys. What is the lifeblood of elections? Money. Of course, that's the first. That's the lifeblood of elections. So if you're Nikki Haley, there is one path from here.

Starting point is 00:57:03 And it's Senator. It's Senator and you need to take that donor money and make a war chest and run for Senate if you wanna continue your political career. You've been governor, you didn't run and you didn't make it. So you have to I think make nice with people and I think it is in her political career would be expedient at this hour to say, I'm not going to spend

Starting point is 00:57:25 any more money. Can we watch us this? Let me run for Senate on the week seat. I would. That would be great. And the people who, I mean, it is Trump country. The, the people that voted for Donald Trump would vote for Nikki Haley in a heartbeat as a as a senator and she'd make a great senator and it would be good see here's the problem ronda santa's in and niki hailey you don't want to be that guy who is just pummeled time and time again however there is a chance that donald trump doesn't make it to november and in not and I'm not talking about health. I'm talking about these people are serious.

Starting point is 00:58:08 And I would never say this, and I have never said this before, until this week. I started seeing what's coming out of the W E F, and the things that are coming out of the mouths now of the die hard leftists that Donald Trump is the most dangerous man to the entire world now, world freedom. I heard a guy from the intelligence, he was head of intelligence in England and he gave an interview this week and he said Donald Trump being president is an existential threat to the United Kingdom. They set that in 2016.

Starting point is 00:58:55 I'm one of the people glad that fell for it. And I was that dude that was like, this guy's going to be the guy. I was too. Okay. What can you at least admit that you were wrong because I admit that. Oh, I admitted that. Okay. Years ago. So there we go. You hear that world economic forum?

Starting point is 00:59:12 Yeah, Trump's not the biggest threat to democracy. There's a big difference between you and the WF people. So if you're able to reason, you will come to a good conclusion. This is in life, in many times, we will be wrong for a season but if we are willing, if we have the ability to reason, we will eventually come to conclusion and say, and we were wrong, okay.

Starting point is 00:59:40 These are not reasonable people you're talking about at WDF. You're learning how to reason. Glenn reasons and says, yeah, I was wrong. I don't think it was going to be the guy. Whatever you said, spend years. I think there's a lot of people in America today that have kind of fallen in your camp, this ain't WF. I'll tell you a story right now for WF.

Starting point is 00:59:58 If you guys want to go into WF. Can I just say something? On that, the difference here with the WF and reasoning between you and me, I could admit it. I said on the air, You have to say something on that. The difference here with the W E F in reasoning between you and me, okay, I could admit it. I said on the air, I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. And I was the W E F, anybody who will not talk

Starting point is 01:00:18 to the other side is saying to you, I have nothing to learn from you. And when you have that attitude, everything falls apart and you become a very dangerous individual. The people who are gonna save this country are the ones who will say, look, I disagree with you, but how did you get there? How did you arrive at that?

Starting point is 01:00:42 Because then we can find a path towards each other. Totally. You might teach me something. Oh crap. I didn't even know that. Exactly. With Jamie Diamond was saying yesterday, the clip that he said, all right, you don't have to go. What? Double exactly. Yeah. Proof is opening. When he says to that, to the CNBC folks, okay, you believe that. Why? Tell me why? Ask him them follow up question It's because it's your your willingness to learn and reason and say maybe I don't have all the answers Yeah, willing to learn yeah, we've all had to do this in our day and and it's it's like a catch 22 because it's scary in the sense that Well, you're talking about Glenworth through where some of them are to this day saying this could be the end of the world Still if Trump comes in but then it's amazing

Starting point is 01:01:24 I think Pat's gonna go into this story that there's other people speaking at the WF and front of all these maniacs saying, Hey, guys, you guys are f'ing up because this guy killed it. You guys are the problem. Pat, that's the one that you're going to let. Yeah, let's go to that stand. Let's go. 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 01:01:40 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,ich Foundation leader, Bash's world economic forum, during Davos, even Rob, if you got this video of AIS, to play IU's, fantastic. If you have the clip, just play it.

Starting point is 01:01:52 Oh, fantastic. Just go ahead and play the clip. It's laughable that you would, or anyone would describe Davos as protecting liberal democracy. It's standing up for it. It's equally laughable to use the word dictatorship at Davos

Starting point is 01:02:05 and aim that at President Trump. In fact, I think that's absurd. But I'm a step aside from that constructive criticism and instead answer your question. And I'm gonna be substantive here. President Trump, if he's the next president, for that matter, I think whoever the next conservative president is going to take on the power of the elites,

Starting point is 01:02:23 which I've mentioned earlier. But the thing that I want to drive home here, the very reason that I'm here at Davos, is to explain to many people in this room and who are watching. With all due respect, nothing personal, but that you're part of the problem. Political elites tell the average people on three or four or five issues that their reality is X when in fact reality is Y. Take immigration. elites tell us that open borders and even illegal immigration are okay. The average person tells us in the United States that both rob them of the American way of life.

Starting point is 01:02:58 They're right. President Trump will take that on on behalf of the average American hub. elites also tell us that public safety isn't a problem in average American hog. Elite's also tell us that public safety isn't a problem in big American cities. Just traveled to New York or Washington or Dallas, Texas. The average person will tell you that the lack of public safety damages not just the American way of life,

Starting point is 01:03:16 but their life. President Trump will take that on. Thirdly, I guess the favorite at the world economic forum is climate change. Elite's tell us that we have this existential crisis with so-called climate change. So much so that climate alarmism is probably the greatest cause for mental health crisis in the world. The solutions, the average person, know, based on climate change are far worse and were harmful and cost more human lives, especially in Europe during

Starting point is 01:03:47 the time that you need heating than do the problems in the problems themselves. Fourth, two more here, Robin. The fourth, China. The number one adversary, not just to the United States, but to free people on planet Earth. Not only do we at Adavas not say that, we give the Chinese Communist Party a platform count on President Trump ending that nonsense. And fifth, as we sit here, another super national organization, the World Health Organization,

Starting point is 01:04:20 is discussing, foisting gender ideology upon the global self. These are practices that are under review, if not being rejected, by countries in northern Europe. The new president, the special of its president, Trump, will, as you like to say, trust the science. He will understand the basic biological reality of manhood and womanhood. And do you know why? He, not because of retribution. You know it. Not because of dictator.

Starting point is 01:04:47 No, because he has the power of the American people behind him. And it's connected to Senator Portman's excellent point. That in addition to needing a vigorous executive, we look forward to having the popular will inform both the House and Senate in 2025 to pass laws on all of those issues. And you can pause there. So Glenn, I got a question for you. So question for you is, why would world both the House and Senate in 2025 to pass laws on all of those issues and you can pause there. So Glenn, I got a question for you. So question for you is why would world economic forum have him? They're the platform and melee to say what

Starting point is 01:05:14 they said. So there are more elections this year than any other time in world history. Okay, it's happening all over the world. Is it like 60? No, it's 42% of people will be voting. Voting, yes. Oh, God. This year, largest Christian country, largest Muslim countries this year.

Starting point is 01:05:33 Wow. So it is, it's happening unlike ever before. It's falling apart on them. Okay? People are starting to wake up all over the world and it's falling apart. They need to take some of that stink off of them.

Starting point is 01:05:51 And I think by having them and being invited to go speak, you look like, well, no, wait a minute, you're kind of reasonable, okay? There were maybe six people that, because he gave a speech, there were maybe six people that clapped he gave a speech. There may be six people that clapped occasionally. Same thing with Javier. Just nobody, nobody is supporting in that room.

Starting point is 01:06:11 Nobody is supporting that. But they look open to at least listening to common sense. And they're doing it at the same time, they've taken global warming off number one, war, not number one threat, economics, not number one. Their number one is mis and disinformation. Yeah. Okay. And they're saying, I mean, one of them said it, I think yesterday, that we control the science.

Starting point is 01:06:42 We control the facts. We control the facts. That's ours. Wow how arrogant is that, okay? They haven't changed at all, but they're changing faces. Just like, and I'd love to get your opinion on this, I don't, yeah, I saw a story. Yes, G is over. Bull crap. It will just be called something else.

Starting point is 01:07:04 That's it. Can I ask you one question about the world economic forum? What was the gentleman to give that speech? Heritage. He's the president. It starts with a K-Roy. His name is Greg. He's got a shout out. Kevin Roberts, he killed it. He's basically saying, you know, the old don't believe your lie and I is nothing to see here approach that been he I was talking about. It's essentially the conversation that we have in this country with its Wall Street versus Main Street. We all know who's in Davos, that's Wall Street. That's the big money.

Starting point is 01:07:28 But when we get to Malay and this is kind of goes, I know that you can weigh in on this. You know, there's an article out there on the Wall Street Journal, we can pull that up. It says Argentina's Millele gives Davos crowd a spine transplant. Think about those words. He's basically saying find your spined Davos and he says this in so many words.

Starting point is 01:07:46 Talks about the the threat of collectivism and I'm gonna throw some terms away. So the Western world is in danger of being co-opted by a vision of the world that leads to poverty. Now however you call these collectivist variants, right? And he starts with the globalists, right? The global elite openly communist fascists, right? The global elite, openly communist fascists, Nazi socialist, social democrats, democratic Christians, neo-Kaneseans, progressive populist, nationalist, globalist, the global elites, whatever you wanna call them, that is a pathway to poverty.

Starting point is 01:08:16 So you know about what goes on in Europe, because Davos is in Europe, America, Western liberalism, totalitarian, socialism, Marxism. This is your wheelhouse. What do you think about what Millay said and what are the... I think it's absolutely right. This is, you know, in America, they've been very, very good.

Starting point is 01:08:35 And they're doing this to every country. The farmers, they're extremists. Yeah. Really, if you hung around the farmers, they're not extremists. In every country, they are painting people that disagree with the World Economic Forum as radicals, like the truck drivers in Canada, truck drivers in their crazy radicals.

Starting point is 01:08:55 No, they're not. They're driving trucks. So what people are missing is, this isn't about Biden and Trump. That's why they like Trump so much because they can make him the boogie man and make us hate Democrats and they hate the Republicans. This is the elites versus the people all over the world. People, this Brexit was the first real punch in the face for the elites.

Starting point is 01:09:24 I don't, I want to fly my flag. That doesn't mean I hate other countries, but I want to fly my flag. I don't want to be told I have to fly a rainbow flag. I don't hate anybody, but don't tell me what I have to believe. Don't tell me that there are 98 different genders. That's not scientific, And don't say the science is settled because it's never settled. Science is never settled. What are you talking about?

Starting point is 01:09:53 And so people have been pushed and pushed and pushed and called so many names. They're starting to stand up. And what I think the biggest surprise is gonna come to the socialist and the communists that are all on the streets, they think that's what was gonna happen. They'll be the first to be off, okay? My who? By whoever gets the power, okay? Because the people that are Democrats

Starting point is 01:10:22 that are in on this WE E F thing, they're all in it for money and power. They're not in it for anything else. They don't believe, I don't think they believe in anything except their own superiority that other people just don't get it. And I want money and power because I can, I all tell the world how to do it. They're the ranchers, we're the sheep or the cows that are kept in a pen and then slaughtered.

Starting point is 01:10:49 This is all about collectivism, like he said, and you said. But people think it's about democracy. They think it's about the Republicans versus them. No, it is about all of us, the majority of the world, saying, can you guys stop? I just wanna live my life. I just wanna live my life. And them saying these people are too stupid.

Starting point is 01:11:16 They'll never see it coming. It's almost like it's professors versus truckers and the professors say, I know what's better for you. They're like, listen, I know to drive a truck. But when it comes to Trump, they've kind of almost run out of all their bullets. They've done the racist thing and the showvinist thing and every other racial epithet that they could use for him.

Starting point is 01:11:32 Now it's the threat to democracy. That's why I said earlier, or started to say, I worry about the true believers of this craziness that will try to kill him because no other bullets work against him. You're out. They've done the legal stuff. Right. They've done the raids, the FBI.

Starting point is 01:11:52 All of it. Yeah. And it doesn't work. It doesn't work. So, Glenn, are you, because we've talked about this multiple times with all this predictive programming that they keep shoving in our faces. It's almost as if they're warning us

Starting point is 01:12:03 that something to come. If they can't, because I mean, and I genuinely feel It's almost as if they're warning us that's something to come. If they can't, I mean, and I genuinely feel it in my heart, their number one thing, if they could, they could take them out. If this was this, like, if this was JFK time,

Starting point is 01:12:13 and there wasn't more than one's a pruder, 1000% they would have tried to take this guy out. So since that can't be accomplished, I'm saying they're probably still is a window, because, you know, if there's a, a world there's a way, what else do you think that they, we've been talking about it, what they would have up their sleeve can't be accomplished. I'm saying they're probably still is a window, because there's a world there's a way. What else do you think that we've been talking about it?

Starting point is 01:12:27 What they would have up their sleeve to keep people from going to vote? Would there be an event? Would there be something to just not let this thing happen? I think that we are looking, we're living at a time where we're on borrowed time. Yep. We have had so many black swans happen to us.

Starting point is 01:12:44 And this, it amazes me because when I was in 2006, I was saying storm is coming, this financial thing, it doesn't work. And they were all like, where did you get your degree? And I'm like, I can see it because I haven't studied what you've studied. You believe in the system. I can look at and go, these loans make no sense, okay?

Starting point is 01:13:06 And we were hit in 2008, and I thought, well, that will really knock us down. Should have, but then they changed the rules of the game, but look at what this system has withstood. For almost 20 years since 9-11, we have just been pounded over and over and over again. At some point, that thing is so rickety and has so many holes in it that a black swan event will collapse it. You have control now by the radicals of the top

Starting point is 01:13:39 and the streets. They don't have the middle, but they have the top and the streets. And this is the way communists usually take over countries. There's an event, everybody looks at that event, or it causes so much chaos that the bottom rises up in the streets, causes more chaos, the people in the middle go, somebody's got to make this stop. And the top comes down.

Starting point is 01:14:05 That's what they have planned. And I think we are a war, a serious economic shock, a mass killing a terrorist attack. That's when things will change. And I think there is the possibility, if it would be bad enough, there's a possibility that we're just told like we were with COVID, stay at home. You're not going anywhere. Stay at home. I think we're on the edge of, we could have a dictatorship from either direction if we're not careful. We have to know the Constitution, know our rights, be God loving, God fearing humble people that when something goes wrong,

Starting point is 01:14:54 we do what we used to do. Join hands with one another and say, brother, I'm here for you, we can get through this. But we're in a place to where I think really bad people in other countries know it, and that's why they'll attack, and when one of them attacks, they'll all attack, because we're so weak, we have to be together as people to be able to survive. But I think we could be seeing a completely different country by January 1st.

Starting point is 01:15:27 Yeah, I don't know if I disagree, but for me, earlier today I was having a conversation with a few guys that were upstairs, that were visiting town, and they said, what are you things gonna happen this year? I said, it's gonna be chaotic here. I've been saying, 2024 is gonna be the year of chaos, but also at the same time,

Starting point is 01:15:41 here's what I told them, I said, every once in a while, if you believe in God or if you believe in Scripture, hey, it's free will, why did that? But it's free will. The choice is on you to choose what kind of a life. Why does God allow this to happen? It's free will.

Starting point is 01:15:55 You get to do whatever you want to do with your life, right? Free will, no problem. But I think every once in a while, God sits there and says, okay, you guys forgot I'm around. Like, did you really think I wasn't around? Yeah. Okay.

Starting point is 01:16:08 All right, no problem. You know, I'm going to show you the power that I have and what I'll do every once in a while I will flex and show my power. I don't know why sometimes we are teams win championships. I don't know why. I don't know why, you know, Brett Far and Adrian Peterson wanted the top five greatest running backs of all time had three fumbles that day. I don't know how many fumbles it was.

Starting point is 01:16:28 Minnesota Vikings against the Northern Saints. And Brett Far, they should have won that game. They lost in the last position or two minutes, whatever it was. And I'm watching a game. I remember exactly about my sister, says, I'm watching, I'm like, what the hell just happened?

Starting point is 01:16:41 They should have won the championship. But why did Northern's win that year? It was the year of the hurricane. And the Saints won. Why would Saints? Katrina. Katrina. Katrina, you're gonna make them win?

Starting point is 01:16:51 Yeah. Huh. Interesting. This year. All the teams, LGBTQ, MLB, LGBTQ, LGBTQ, LGBTQ. The only team that didn't cave to LGBTQ won the World Series. Seriously? The Texas Rangers here?

Starting point is 01:17:06 You're joking, right? No. Maybe there is certain clues in life that we have to pay attention to. Maybe he's saying something to say, listen, if you truly claim you have faith, have faith and lead. If you truly are concerned about this, do your part. You know, pray like it's up to God, but work like it's up to you, drive like it's up to you,

Starting point is 01:17:28 defend like it's up to you, fight like it's up to you, but then pray like it's up to me. Okay, that's the part about faith, right? I don't know why. I think the level of people that would have never united with each other who are from different, Sean Strickland, I watch this guy, okay? This guy's asking him a question about LGBTQ and he says,

Starting point is 01:17:50 you would want your son to be this. He's like, I don't care if I don't have a grandson, he's like, you're the FM problem. Wait, a UFC fighter that grew up with a tough upbringing that, you know, the story's about him and his father, he's making more sense than an educated guy from Canada that's probably one to the right university. And this guy's getting more eyeballs and logic for people.

Starting point is 01:18:10 He's like, no, I agree with this guy. There's something going on. We are finding each other. And when these guys find each other, the enemy fears what is possible. And they don't like people like us waking up. That's where my faith and confidence comes from, because we all have a line that if you cross,

Starting point is 01:18:30 we go from being regular people to like Jordan Peterson says, monsters and certain rage and certain person comes out. I think that's the level we are right now. So if they do decide to repeat themselves and play that game, I don't think this time around, everyone's going to be able to tolerate it. I think the secret here is to be people that understand good versus evil, understand, you know, live your faith and and be humble. I mean, I think we're just running out of opportunities to be humble. We keep, I think we're just running out of opportunities

Starting point is 01:19:05 to be humble. We keep, I mean, look at all the time we spent today talking just about the election. The president's not gonna solve this problem. He can help, but we have to solve this problem. We have given common sense and 5,000 years of solid planning We've given common sense and 5,000 years of solid, you know, planning and lessons to learn on how societies work. And we've just allowed elitist intellectuals to tell us what the truth is when we all know that's not right. And we continue just to take it.

Starting point is 01:19:46 And we continue to then go, oh, the Fed was wrong. Oh, but wait, they're gonna fix it because they have this idea now. Okay, whoo, I was afraid. They can't fix it, yeah. This episode is brought to you by Britta. Start your year off right with Britta on a resolution you can actually commit to.

Starting point is 01:21:04 sort of the spirit of the word of God. And the last one was get into the fight. We have to fight because they're, they're fighting. And we have to get involved because what we're doing is in the spectators, but I have to tell you that I am firmly convinced. I mean, I am currently working on things that I can do to keep my voice

Starting point is 01:21:27 at least out of the digital ghetto in the next year because I am convinced these people, I mean, we're playing big, big ball here. You know, this is, people die in movies with this kind of stuff, they kill them. If you have an event, people can disappear, they can easily shut you down. We are looking at the loss, it has to happen.

Starting point is 01:21:55 They're serious about this. It has to happen for them to win. They have to silence powerful voices that disagree with the W. E. F. and the state. And there's several articles. Look at the one. There were two articles from NBC this week that were terrifying. They were talking about how the elites know, science knows, the government knows. And there are many people. I mean, one of the articles, I think it was NBC's article talks about how the mega people are just so vulnerable to mis and disinformation.

Starting point is 01:22:36 And so we have to be the arbiters of truth to hell you are. Okay. Vulnerable. I know what you guys are doing. There was a story also came out today about the University of Rhode Island. They got into bed with the, with DHS. DHS under Barack Obama came up with an anti-terror fund. And, you know, if you can help us find terrorists,

Starting point is 01:23:04 so the University of Rhode Island, terror fund and you know if you can help us find terrorists so that the university of uh... road island they wrote a uh... paper for grant and got into bed with dhs in the paper work asking for the grant and the partnership they say look propaganda isn't bad propaganda happen in world war one in World War I and World War II, and we're in another kind of war

Starting point is 01:23:27 with extremists that believe Donald Trump is right. They were the ones that were responsible, mainly for these are extremists, these are radicals. They were pushing that propaganda out from the university. They're not screwing around. They're playing a win, so we have to do. We have to do. So to the next story here, so Mark Cuban mocks X under Elon Musk as his little echo chamber,

Starting point is 01:23:54 defense DEI stands again, Mark Cuban criticized Elon Musk comments on diversity, equity, and inclusion. By saying there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, et cetera, that are regularly excluded from hiring considerations. Cuban-Engagement debate on the social media platform, X about DEI, noting that it was important to challenge different viewpoints and promote diverse perspectives and discussions.

Starting point is 01:24:15 He referred to X as Elon's little echo chamber. Cuban-defendant is the decision to engage in the debate DEI, explaining that he knew he would face criticism, but believe there was essential to reach the audience on next that needed to hear alternative perspectives if there was one light bulb that came on that's a win back glenn he is i mean if you don't believe that these people will come after you

Starting point is 01:24:39 they're coming after donald trump for what he says and believes they're coming after all of his supporters they are coming after the guy who has made a bigger difference on global warming. They're, they're claimed number one thing. The guy who has made more difference in that, they're coming after him. Why? Because he thinks that you should be able to speak your mind and they immediately try to shut him down They will do everything everything to shut him down. He was a smeber. They tried the anti-Semitic thing

Starting point is 01:25:12 They tried the girl thing. They're trying to drug thing and I've said this. I can't they know how many times I said this We owe that guy he bought it and lost money just for me and you to be able to see and hear everything and make our own decision. Did you read his book? Did you read his book about him? I did. There is no way that guy is going to give up. Never he will die before he hears the question. They picked the wrong guy. Let me ask the question in a different way.

Starting point is 01:25:35 Let me ask the question in a different way. So Mark Cuban says, with that in mind, 94% new jobs in SMB5 are going to the color sounds about what we ought to expect. It's not evidence of employees getting to especially great links to higher minorities or discriminating against white workers or doing anything other than fishing where the fish are. If the percentage were much lower than 90% that we would cause for concern. The question I have for you is the following.

Starting point is 01:25:59 He says he believes it's concerning if more than 10% of new jobs in the US go to white people. 60% of the US is white. That's what his concern is. Here's my question for you. Do you think, do you think, like, do you think Mark is doing this because he fears something and he's defending him. Do you think he's doing this because he fully believes us?

Starting point is 01:26:22 Do you think he's doing this because he lacks common sense? I don't believe he lacks common sense. Do you think he's doing this because he fully believes us? Do you think he's doing this because he lacks common sense? I don't believe he lacks common sense. Do you think he's doing this because he wants to make certain people happy? Why do you think he's doing this? It's not like he needs money. He's worth five, six billion dollars. What's he doing this for? I don't know him well enough.

Starting point is 01:26:37 I've done a couple of interviews with him and I've been around him a couple of times. So, I have very little to go on. But honestly, he might be very smart and a couple of times. So a very little to go on. But honestly, he might be very smart and couple of things. But when it comes to politics and everything else, the guys are moron. He really is. He just, he has no idea what he is talking about. He calls himself a libertarian. I'll give you a libertarian metal detector. There's nothing in his body that would make that thing beep. There is nothing. He's, I don't know where he thinks he's libertarian because he's not. And I don't think that he's saying it for any other reason than, you know, it's

Starting point is 01:27:16 cool. And yeah, I mean, I think everybody should, you know, be around with free speech. Yeah. Well, so do the people on the left who are currently now saying, shut half the country up. They claim to love it too. But when push comes to shove, I mean, I stand for people who say the worst things, the things that I find absolutely despicable. I believe they should be able to say that. Mark and his ilk feel the exact opposite. I'm for you as long as you're, you know, reasonable and with me. No, that's not the way it works. I think he's very bright in business.

Starting point is 01:27:59 I think he's a genius in what he's done recently, I think, with the Mavericks. But I think he's a moron politically. The thing with Mark Cuban just to understand is, it's a very interesting guy because he is where the intersection of corporate legacy media, establishment, ideology, NBA, social justice movement, everything that kind of that coincides right there, the most interesting to me about Mark Cuban is how he's gone from disruptor, the most fine NBA owner, tech guy,

Starting point is 01:28:36 like while and around, getting fined every game 20 years later, show me more an establishment figure in pop culture when it comes to shark tank CNBC NBA, but what's the motive though? That's what I'm like, you know, right? He said in a in a text exchange him and I had for a couple hours last week. He said Twitter is an echo chamber and you know, you know, I talked about hey, why don't we do a podcast together?

Starting point is 01:29:02 If you really want to talk about the stuff. Hey, this sounds like a good audience would win. I would never come because you know, it would be an echo chamber. And if you come over there, you're panoring to your audience. I said, you picked a podcast. Pick the most liberal podcast you feel safe. Let me come. You're richer than me.

Starting point is 01:29:18 You're more successful than me. You're wiser than me. You're older than me. What else? I'm like a underdog. I'll come to any turf you wanna have the conversation in, doesn't wanna have the conversation, has a respondent. By the way, again, in every education in the

Starting point is 01:29:33 Anna University exit multiple times, net worth, multi-multibillionaire, number of employees, every way you look at it, great. But when it comes down to here, Tom, how do you miss the mark on something like this? Because even on Twitter when he says, Twitter's an echo chamber. What percentage of America is vaccinated?

Starting point is 01:29:53 70%. That means what percentage of Twitter is vaccinated? Let's say at least 50%. What echo chamber? You're talking to people that are probably vaccinated and have taken a booster. So it's just some of these guys are sitting there saying maybe we were wrong when we took this year. Why do you think he's defending this DI concept, Tom? Logically, nothing makes sense with this DI concept. Yeah, I think what is, honestly, I think what's happened to Mark Cuban is if you

Starting point is 01:30:20 just look at the evolution and the longer your kids around the wrong people, the more they behave like those people. And I think what has happened over time, he has been co-opted into their side, on China and sneakers and the NBA, look at all the controversies that have come and gone, and what does he do? He toes the line.

Starting point is 01:30:41 He's been on Shark Tank owned by a major network for how many seasons? And so how many opportunities do you think there are for things to be said there, but instead, he's co-opted into that. I just think he is slowly like a frog boiled in the pot and has been co-opted into it. We don't appreciate how hard it, well, maybe you do,

Starting point is 01:31:02 to work for a major national network, and you've worked for a few ownerships of radio. I was fired from ABC network. I was fired from ABC on day number one, my first day. What happened? I hope you're in the radio hall of fame for that. I was hired Diane Sawyer at the time. She came over to my office and she's like,

Starting point is 01:31:29 you know, you are a game changer, I was on CNN. You are a game changer. And I think you can help. I'm gonna start doing nighttime. She was during the day. She said, I'm really very influential. I'm gonna start doing the nighttime news, which she eventually did. And you should take over nightline.

Starting point is 01:31:50 Together we could change news. I said, okay, I'm in. And so she had this whole plan and she got me in and day number one, care went to the mouse house and said, if you allow this big it, we will protest and we will shut down Disney and your part of it, mouse and nobody hurts the mouse. Nobody hurts the mouse. Day number one, I'm out. Wow.

Starting point is 01:32:20 Day number one. This is what you're, this is 2000, maybe nine or 10. So, wow. 2009 or 10, when this happened. Actually, it might have been earlier than that because I was at CNN. And I'll just, I'll never forget it. I'll never forget it.

Starting point is 01:32:36 She was on the air with me. On the day they announced, she's on the air and she's like, this is the most brilliant guy. He is just so great and he's just got so many creative ideas. We're just going to change television. She couldn't say enough. My wife was like, can you tell Diane so you're to stop calling you?

Starting point is 01:32:54 Okay. And the very next day, nothing. Can't get her on the phone. Can't don't hear from her. It takes about six months. And I'm starting to kick up some storm because I don't really care. I'm getting paid from ABC, but you know, I think people should know what happened. And so I started talking about it on the air. And she calls

Starting point is 01:33:17 me and she says, I think we need to have lunch. It was, it was the weirdest lunch ever. We sat there and she brought up my religion. And that means that you must take women and all of these. And I'm like, what the hell? You are a coward. You are a coward. Yeah. And she's a big name in news.

Starting point is 01:33:38 I mean, pull her up. I mean, she's, she was. Other than Barbara Walters, there are, I think you look at that. What are the other, Barbara Walters? Is there a bigger name in news than Diane Soyer back in the day? No, massive. No, she was the name.

Starting point is 01:33:49 It wasn't like just some obscure local journalist. No, this was the lady. Yep. Yeah, look, if we hop in the delorean and go back to the future, today's a r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r right. And you can see what happened there and that there was a neutrality in news. There was a genuine desire to keep the news at some level of umbias. And it just kind of, slowly election by election, it just kind of rolled out the window. And now you're somebody like, you know, Mark Cuban, I just think he's been boiled like a frog in the pot. And that's

Starting point is 01:34:21 where he comes. And he goes, you have a great example. And, you know, it's like I say, if he hop into the luring, you drive real fast, although you know that could be a problem too. And that's what's happened to him. And it doesn't make rational sense. And there's, but he's so inculcated in all of the media thing that he doesn't look like it makes rational sense. But he's been just boiled, and that's who he is. And have you ever known anybody who should know better? I mean, the Diane Sawyer story. Come on, you're smarter than this. You know what's going on.

Starting point is 01:34:55 However, I'm happy, I'm fine. I don't want any trouble in my life. I'm not questioning. And I think that's where Mark Cuban is. He's nobody, you know, I have had my name called, I mean, I've just, they've tried to destroy me for years. And that just pisses me off and makes me fight harder. But I don't want that.

Starting point is 01:35:23 I'd much rather be with the cool kids. I've never been with cool kids, but I find myself here, and if I wasn't driven by true belief in God and that we all are born for a reason and a time, I would have given up a long time ago. If not given up, if I just would have played, when Roger Ailes talked to me towards the end of my time at Fox, he said to me, you know what your problem is? And I said, well, what? And he said, you won't play the game. And I said, because some of us don't believe it is a game. We actually believe what we say.

Starting point is 01:36:08 Wow. That's powerful respect. And Rodgers had a lot of good, I hear a lot of Rodgers stories from people that he helped develop and talent and all this stuff and everybody has a different story they tell. It's amazing. Yeah, that's what everybody says.

Starting point is 01:36:21 Let's go to Bob Iger since you brought up Disney. Bob Iger's paid doubled in 2023 as Disney laid off 7,000 employees, released box office bombs back to back to back. Bob Iger saw his compensation more than double last year as the one great studio continues to struggle financially and creatively. Bob Iger earned $31.6 million in total comp for the fiscal year that ended in September

Starting point is 01:36:47 up from $15 million in 2022. His 2023 pay included a salary of $865,000 stock awards of $16.1 million and $10 million in stock options awards, $2.1 million in performance basedbased compensation, 2.48 million dollars in other pay, IGRs Peking Crees came as Disney experience another bad year, company laid off 7,000 employees worldwide and is planning an additional 2 billion dollars in cuts. Disney streaming services have lost billions of dollars as the company splurges on content that is having a difficult time connecting with the audience top. You hear a story like this. How do you process this time?

Starting point is 01:37:26 I process it this way. First of all, this is a inflammatory headline story. Oh, you can't believe it. You can't believe it. The only thing that we have to remember on this is Bob Eiger was desperately sought to come back. And this is an employment contract that has these things in it on how they're going to pay him.

Starting point is 01:37:50 What part of it was performance based of the 31.6, 2.1 million? That's a lot of money, but 2.1 million is performance based. I'd be willing to bet that everything that we've seen here, we know the base salary is in there and we know where the stock wards are. So basically, this was, I think, in the contract that he signed when they said, Bob, please come back. We need you for 36 months. Yeah. So it's not based on what he did this year. So just a comp said, your second, you're going to make XYZ amount

Starting point is 01:38:19 of money. That's exactly right. 2.1 and performance based compensation. How do we know that wasn't supposed to be 20.1? And that the reason it's only 2.1 is performance-based compensation. How do we know that wasn't supposed to be 20.1? And that the reason it's only 2.1 is because there was the bombs in the problems. See that rat that's dead, that's Disney right there. That's a analogy of Disney is where the mouse is dead. But isn't it, if the mouse is dead, what a crazy, that's that there, but you know what,

Starting point is 01:38:39 I love about that entire story. How much money did Disney lose? Then last, what did say 200 and how much? Because what, they're having a problem with their content because the people that you're talking about us against them, we're not buying that crap. So yeah, I have to tell you,

Starting point is 01:38:55 I don't know anything really about the law, but if I were a shareholder, I would want a class action suit against Bob Eiger because Bob is the reason it started. You hire, when I was, again, when I was at ABC, your name tags, this is again, but 2008, your name tag had the rainbow on it. Everybody's. Everybody's, okay, had a rainbow on it.

Starting point is 01:39:21 And that was just a support LGBTQ. Okay, fine, fine. But to me, that said, the company is ideological, and it is, it will protect its own ideology. A news company should not have ideology other than the pursuit of truth. Let the chips fall where they may. Disney, you know, it's very hard to, you know, run a creative company and not have people that live different lifestyles. That's fine. But you cannot build your company and have the people that have a different lifestyle, then your audience, telling, we're gonna tell our story. No, you are here to tell the story that our audiences want to hear.

Starting point is 01:40:13 The number one, that was the number one brand, maybe of all time, and their brand was, will your children are safe with us? Yes. And they flushed that down the toilet without any regard for the fact that it took almost a hundred years to build that brand. How is that not something actionable

Starting point is 01:40:39 for people who had shares in the country? They just took it and turned it off. And quite honestly, I think the only thing you can do to fix it, I think it's so beyond fixing is you have to fire, you have to shut the whole thing down and turn it back on with new ownership that actually understands. Because I don't know how you saved that now. I want to show you something.

Starting point is 01:41:04 I'm going to show you some numbers here Tom. Check this out Rob. Can you pull up what I just sent you real quick? So this is Disney's valuation in the last whatever 20 years, right? And so when you look at the Disney stock, it's important to know this and it's important to know timeline on whatever job responsibility when he retired, when he returned. So check this out. This is Disney's valuation, go up to the bottom where it shows year by year by year,

Starting point is 01:41:29 go a little low, rob, go a little lower. Yeah, right there, okay, zoom in a little bit if you can. Okay, so 2024 valuation is what? 170 billion, 2023, 165 billion, 2022, 158 billion. It's dropped 43%, 44% from 2021 at 281 down to 158 billion. It's it dropped 43% 44% from 2021 at 281 down to 158 billion and 2020 it's 328 billion. 2019 257 billion 2018 164 and then you have 162. So from 2015 to today, 10 years, the stock is flat. 2015 to today, the stock is flat.

Starting point is 01:42:07 Now, these are important events to know. Do you know what day Disney Plus came out? When it blew up, it was Disney Plus came out in November 12, 2019. Look what happens to the stock. 60% is up. Look at 2020, what happens in 2020? COVID, every streaming company blows up.

Starting point is 01:42:25 Zoom, valuation goes skyrocketing. Net everybody is blown up with streaming in 2020 because everybody was locked in. They're watching homes. Now watch this. Bob Eiger, when does he retire? The first time around, when does he retire? He retires December 2021, okay? Which is a phenomenal time to retire. You've done a great job. He retires. Bob Shea, which is a phenomenal time to retire. You've done a great job. He retires. Bob Sheapeck is doing what he's doing. When does he return? December of 2020, he returns November 20th of 2020. So look at from November 20th, 2020. It's what? $158 billion. The company has not changed anything, but what has he done? He's fired 7,000 people, which means OPEX has gone lower.

Starting point is 01:43:07 Now, when did he become the CEO and the chairman of the company? October of 2005, can you go down to October in 2005? So when he came in, $47 billion, as the CEO, he took it from $47 billion in 2005, 20 years later, it's worth what? $170 billion. He's probably the biggest deal maker in the business we've seen. He has a lot of victories,

Starting point is 01:43:31 but one, him coming back is the same thing when a guy that's got a great career comes back and ruins his numbers, and it looks pretty bad and the averages drop and all this other stuff, but also at the same time, with Disney, the problem is the following, Glenn. When they make a movie or a catalog of movies, did they produce, I think, three years ago, four years ago?

Starting point is 01:43:54 Which means you have to sit there and know if today we have a great idea for a movie that would change in our philosophy, the market is not going to know about it for three to five years. So turning around those types of things takes a long time. But they're not taking it on. They can't. Their entire employee roster now is full of radicals. You can't just say, oh, I know you said,

Starting point is 01:44:23 we're gonna change your kids, but we don't want you to do that. You're still staying in your office and you can keep your team. How many of the 7,000 people getting fired? You think we're on the left? Well, I think almost everybody at Disney is like 98% they give money to the Democrat. 97, 90% I'm maybe I'm off by a couple percent. But okay, so most of them, how much of that firing, you think Tom is just decreasing our backs, versus how much of that firing is like, look guys, we gotta go back to who loves Disney, who knows who the customer is.

Starting point is 01:44:54 No, you don't think that's the focus. No, you think it's just decreasing our backs. Our eye girl is the problem. He is the problem. Period. I mean, a lot of people around Hollywood agree with that. So to answer your question, Pat, I think this is a, this was a CFO firing, you know, this is basically

Starting point is 01:45:12 not firing the CFO. This is like, they are looking to take cost out of the business. Now, I think it was a legitimate thing. They're, they're the cost here, cost here, cost there. But it's, I don't think it's, it's a cleansing. I think it's just where can we squeeze and remove costs from the business. It's not where can we correct ideology?

Starting point is 01:45:30 Where's this an opportunity to shift the ideology or shift the business? It's just how do we squeeze costs out of the business? The rest of Hollywood has been mocking Disney for the last two years if you look carefully. You look at what people say. Now there's Bob and his circle and everything, but the Hollywood Reporter has been questioning the results at Disney the Hollywood

Starting point is 01:45:48 there's a lot of people that are rational about the business that have been questioning this shoot south park did an incredible oh incredible un Kathleen Kennedy yeah and she spent the next four weeks trying to get that pulled with every muscle in her in her I haven't seen it. What's it about? Oh, the South Park destroyed. They make it look like that Kathleen Kennedy is in the process of owning Bob Eiger and she's taking and remaking every Disney film to remove any of the original tenants and do insert all of the, so all the one we show it or everyone, everyone, but everyone in South Park has become a lesbian, you know, gay, black, whoa, and, you know,

Starting point is 01:46:39 Hartman, because a black woman, yeah, I mean, it's really, really pointed in. And when did this come out? This, this is year. Yeah, three months ago. Yeah. That's the South Park kids that have now been replaced by them. And anyway, and the, the episode culminates in Bob Eiger's office where a cowering Bob Eiger is listening to Kathleen Kennedy lecture him about what they're going to doing. Don't you think the shareholders and what we used to do there? No, Bob, we're doing this. Okay, Kent, you're company.

Starting point is 01:47:11 And so it's, it's heavy. But point is this is just one part. Hollywood is pointing at Disney and saying, this thing's out of control. When you even have, well, Hollywood's not going conservative and they're not getting it, not getting their act to you know but what you do see is islands in the stream are saying they're nuts. Well look at look at all of the money. They own the greatest stories that have been told in I mean America and now Disney is the source of the Star Wars franchise, the superheroes,

Starting point is 01:47:52 the greatest family cartoons, and they have destroyed each of them one by one. They keep buying them. They bought the entire Fox library, which is with a mountain of debt, Bob Iger signed the check. No, make sure you sign the papers for the mountain of debt, which is part of the problem. They assimilated all of Hulu. They owe Comcast and a godly summer cheer for Hulu that they're not gonna be able to write that check.

Starting point is 01:48:14 So they're teetering on this mountain of debt and obligations assembling, as you correctly point out, the greatest catalog in history. And what was the biggest movie money maker last year? By far, of last year. Sound of freedom. Sound of freedom. You know who owned it?

Starting point is 01:48:29 Disney. And they refused to release it. They bought it in the catalog. It was sitting there. They wouldn't do it. They finally made a deal with Angel Studios and Angel Studios released it. What would be the, what would I asked this before, what would be a reason

Starting point is 01:48:46 for you not to show a movie that is pointing out that children are getting sex traffic, like nothing, where's the motive of buying it and not showing it to everybody? Why would you do that? Well, they bought it in a catalog, so it's not like they went out and bought that one. But they, I think you could say one of two things.

Starting point is 01:49:05 You know, there's a lot of people that don't think that that's so bad anymore that you can have children and use them for sex. The other is they just, they don't think, they think everybody thinks like them and they don't think this is a problem. And so it's not going to do well. Yeah. At the same time, they're making the same kind of decision saying, no, this is what people want.

Starting point is 01:49:33 And they're bombing because it's not what people want. Yeah, like Cinderella, was it Cinderella with that act? No, it's like Snow White. Well, she's like, that guy's a stalker. We're changing the story to make it. Why are you changing the story? What are you talking about? You were asleep and poisoned, young man.

Starting point is 01:49:48 You came and kissed you and now you're alive, but he's a graper. He's like, you'd be dead. Yeah, she thanked you. So I'll just say one thing about what we see on the backend or the external part of it, but then there's also the internal part of it, the employees and the culture.

Starting point is 01:50:04 So we're seeing the backend of it when the movie comes out, we're like, yeah, this is kind of weird. And the patriarchy stuff with Barbie or whatever the Hollywood movies comes out. And you know, the D E I and the ESC, but what it's interesting because I have conversations with certain people who are on the internal on these types of organizations. That necessarily doesn't, but these types of companies, and a lot of them work remote, right? We know the work remote. And I'll say, well, what's it like?

Starting point is 01:50:30 What's the conversations like? And they say a lot of times when they get on the Zoom, it's mandatory or obligatory to put your pronouns in your bio or how you identify. I'm like, what do you mean? They're like, well, you've never had to do that. I'm like, no, I'm not a thing. Nobody here.

Starting point is 01:50:48 Nobody here. But they literally have to say like, she, her, he, hey, the, whatever the hell it is, right? Insert your hair. He, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, but it's like, but that's how you change the situation. We only see it on the back end over here. But internally, can you imagine if any of us were on these

Starting point is 01:51:10 zooms or were like, oh, de-identify, I was like, I don't know, dude, like what's happening right now? But a lot of the people will go along because if they're not in that world, they're an ally. And you know, hold a whole ally, so yeah. Exactly. Let's go to the next story here, and then we'll wrap up with

Starting point is 01:51:26 a colony rich last story here. Chinese media, Taiwan independence means war. Okay. So, I mean, obviously you don't want to hear that, but let's see what they have to say here. Who, Zhijin, former editor of Chinese state-run Global Times, has raised concerns about the potential for war if Taiwan seeks independence under President William Lai Chiang Te. Who asserted

Starting point is 01:51:51 Taiwan independence means war and the red line drawn by the Chinese mainland is clear. He also questioned Lai's leadership stating that Lai might not be more radical than his predecessor. might not be more radical than his predecessor. He pointed out the significance of the United States in Taiwan issue, noting that President Joe Biden publicly stated the US does not support Taiwan independence. But aims to contain China's through this matter, he speculated that if former President Donald Trump were to be reelected, it could introduce new uncertainties

Starting point is 01:52:24 in the Taiwan straits due to his presumed stronger stance against China. Glenn, thoughts? A couple of things. First of all, China will take Taiwan and they'll take it when the United States is too busy concentrating on something else. We don't have the ability, luckily, they don't have the ships to land the forces right yet.

Starting point is 01:52:50 They will in a couple of years, but they could just, I mean, they could take it if we're not paying attention. We don't have the ability to fight in China, in China at this point. We just don't have the assets, we don't have the supply chain stretched that far. The one thing that you have to pay attention to on Taiwan is the chips that they make. These are the highest end chips. These are the ones for the supercomputers.

Starting point is 01:53:20 They have the ability in Taiwan to make chips that nobody else makes. If China gets those chip factories, we lose. The whole world loses to China. And everybody knows that, especially China. I've talked to people who, you know, have experience at the NSA and Department of Defense who have been in conversations about China. And blew my mind when they said this, their best hope is that if China starts to invade or take Taiwan, that we will blow up all of the chip plants. Oh, wow. Okay. That's like seriously

Starting point is 01:54:10 discussed. Maybe we should just blow all the chip plants up so they can't have it either. How much is that as a threat? I'm just kind of like talking shit, just saying, let me, I'm gonna kick your ass. You think it's like kind of like that because have you, but have you read that? Have you heard that? I mean I mean I read that I remember when that story came out but you know what would happen if they did that the supply of the semi-conductor chips that we need that the world relies on with you know Taiwan price of use cars would go to the roof price of no cars with everything would go to the roof because everything God knows each card that you buy has inward between 1500 to 3000 ships. A lot of those ships, depending on the quality.

Starting point is 01:54:48 So I don't know if they're talking smack or if they're being real about you. Do you not think that they are, I mean, I think these are, these are early 20th century progressives, many of them. They are anti-human. Yeah. They are anti-modernity. I don't think that there is a problem with some, there's some really scary people that would really mean, okay, so yeah, all right, so millions would die, but

Starting point is 01:55:14 this goal would be accomplished. But yes, we'll starve people on this, but we won't be eating meat and it'll be good for the planet. I think these people are so anti-human that those kinds of things, you know, the reason why we lasted the Cold War is because of the movie the day after. Ronald Reagan watched it. ABC gave him a videotape of it. He watched it in the Oval Office. Gorbachev watched it, and they both changed. In Reagan's diary, he said, dear Lord, we cannot let this happen.

Starting point is 01:55:50 So you had two reasonable people who said, no matter what, too many people will die. We cannot do that. We're coming to a place to where some of the people who have power, they don't think that way. What we think is unthinkable, they do because it would be good for the planet. It would be good. We are expendable. We're sheep.

Starting point is 01:56:14 Do you think China is China first? How do you think Xi looks at world economic form as a useful idiot? Oh, yeah. OK. So China looks at world economic. We're going to use these guys. We're gonna buy them out and give them some favors and they're gonna do whatever we want them to do.

Starting point is 01:56:29 That's how they view them. Okay. Do you think China, G, is excited about a Trump candidacy or he would much rather prefer that be a new sum or a Michelle or somebody on the left or a Biden. Well, definitely a Biden because he's bought and paid for. So yeah, Biden would be his choice. Why do you think China, if a Biden under Biden,

Starting point is 01:56:55 let's just say Putin took advantage of it went after Ukraine and NATO is saying we may have a war for 20 years or whatever they're talking about here. Or hey, Hamas attacks Israel. All right, so that took place and then there's that war going on which has been so divisive worldwide.

Starting point is 01:57:12 Afghanistan we leave, God knows how much weapons we left behind. And the air force base that China now has. Yes, and Agra, why do you think if China is so bad and evil which I believe they are? Yeah, why do you think they haven't yet They're packed and done anything to Taiwan. What are they waiting for? They're playing the long game They they can they don't have the ships to do it. I don't think I

Starting point is 01:57:40 Don't think that China wants to have a war China would rather just take it. And there are such long-term thinkers that, okay, wait five years. The United States is falling apart. They're not gonna be able to do it. We'll have everything we need to be able to do it. Maybe in five years, I mean, look at Hong Kong.

Starting point is 01:58:00 Look at Hong Kong. They didn't do anything until we were distracted and then all those people went away. What's up, Canada? After five long years, the UFC is heading back up north for UFC 297 in Toronto. This is the first event back with Bud Light as the official beer sponsor of the UFC.

Starting point is 01:58:18 We put together a bad, it's card and it is gonna be an electric night. Talk. And nobody even talks about Hong Kong at this point. Right. And if you would have, if they would have acted when everybody were like, well, they're not, they're back and down, they would have had

Starting point is 01:58:33 the whole world in their face. They win. Different thoughts. Do you have a different view than what Glenn said? Not really, except one thing that I'll add to it and he didn't bring up the word, but I think he's probably going to perk up when I say it, is sometimes they look really, really crazy, and then they understand some of these outcomes, but you have to remember

Starting point is 01:58:55 there is a huge plank in their platform, this is a WF and the global thinkers, about the population being good. So, right? So if there is calamity in everything that takes out two billion people over a span of six years, that's okay because it's actually healing to the Earth because we're stressing the Earth. We don't need this many people and all like that.

Starting point is 01:59:20 Now, military strategy would say that the best day to go after Taiwan is August 21st of this year. If that's the last day of the Democratic Convention in Chicago, if Biden is the candidate, because they're like, okay, it's still Biden. We got to do it now because if Trump wins, we can't do it. Because Trump's going to expand the base there and say, I dare you. It's very simple.

Starting point is 01:59:42 All we have to do is expand the military presence in Taiwan where I already have and say, I freaking dare you. Right? They won't make that look which right? But to go to Glenn's point, Rob the chart. This is exactly what you were referencing. The blue is Taiwan's market share of the world high end chips. She's look at that. It would be a terrible disaster. No, that's why. By the way, this is from CNBC. This isn't from some four years ago. Right. And you, and you want to, you, you want to understand, uh, national interests, is it in our national interest? That's pretty clear. Oh, it's, it's a hundred percent national interest and international interest and China's interest and a lot of people's interest. Yep.

Starting point is 02:00:26 This, this, this, this a, you know, I remember when during COVID use cars were selling for more than new cars. They're like, wait a minute, what's going on? Remember, you can't find a watch, you can't find anything. A Ford couldn't ship F-150. Not gonna.

Starting point is 02:00:40 Stay had a, my car was worth $20,000. The Ford F-150, $20,000 more, a year and a half, a year after I bought it. Like what are you buy this? This is like, we'll pay you 20 more people are buying a premium for them. You're kidding me, no. So it was a very weird time at that time,

Starting point is 02:00:53 but I wanna go to the last store here before wrap up, is the truth about colony rich Texas. Now Glenn, before we get into it, do you wanna set it up before we play the trailer here for this documentary so there was there two stories that came out one was from the daily wire and one was from the new york post and they say that this was run by the drug cartels um that it's going to be the biggest population in one place of illegal immigrants. They don't speak English, that it's a horror show.

Starting point is 02:01:30 So when we went down, that's what I was expecting. What I found was not that, but I think just as bad. And this is this gigantic this gigantic goes on for miles, this gigantic plot of land where developers are selling it legally to illegals. For I think it's $100 down, you can buy a house. What? Okay. $100 down. 15, not a house land. And it's's, I think 15% or 14% interest, okay? And people are buying it. 30% default rate, 30%. So they default because they're carrying the note, you're in default.

Starting point is 02:02:20 I take your land back. I resell it. This is a money maker like you can't believe. You cannot import 10 million people into a country and not have communities like this. This is the future of America if we don't wake up. Have you ever been to Brazil? You go to Rio, nice houses, right out of the gate,

Starting point is 02:02:44 poverty like you've never seen, right? That's what's coming to America. We are becoming a third world nation and this is the canary in the coal mine. Rob, if you got the clip to play it, Diego, if you want to make it bigger and let, I think that's a commercial. No, that guy, he's going to talk to you about your poop. Yeah, I thought you pooped. Let's go ahead. Go ahead, Rob. Really? Okay.

Starting point is 02:03:07 Go for it. I'm Joe Biden's out of office. There are about 10 million new people in here. If you have 10 million people coming in, where are they living? Look at the size of this. The fastest growing development in Texas. It a 30-minute drive from Houston. Any idea of how many are illegal to majority?

Starting point is 02:03:33 The majority, the majority. Like Sir's and Robo, I have a product, I create it, I sell it. Does it bother you at all just culturally in America to have 150,000 people that are speaking another language? Own something of your own, own your own home. That's what we're trying to create for people here. If it's the American dream, why don't you advertise English? They are going against humanity.

Starting point is 02:04:05 Against Americans, non-Americans. A lot of race, a lot of people. Like, we were done for even following into this. We let up and what do we do? What do we do? If you import the third world, you end up becoming more third world. I've started Afghanistan every war torn or third world

Starting point is 02:04:26 country always has that same distinct smell. And it's the smell of burning trash. You can see all the undeveloped lots. This can be quite massive. Gun fire shooting up here. Just pal, pal, pal, pal. Come in from my house. My wife's advice is don't piss off any cartels.

Starting point is 02:04:43 I said I'll try. Is this the future for America? Because this is the path we're on as an entire country. This is a completely new population. I talked to the developer, and I mean, it was honestly, I thought I was being punked. It was like, do you remember when what's his name? You used to play this on set. I was like, I'm it was honestly I thought I was being punked. It was like, you remember when what's his name? You used to play this on Saturday Night Live, the 60-Minute Guy and you'd be sweaty and

Starting point is 02:05:12 you remember? It was like that sitting with this guy and I said to him as we went for a tour I said, have you ever seen it's a wonderful life? And he immediately said, I'm not Mr. Potter. Oh, wow, he knows who he is. Yep. Wow. And it is Potterville.

Starting point is 02:05:34 But you are looking at a place that the school, brand new, giant schools are already putting trailers out. And there's no tax base, okay? These are poor people. And we're just importing the crime is off the charts, and the developer was like, well, that's because the county, the county hasn't changed except for this. And the most disturbing thing is our Republican governor

Starting point is 02:06:07 took $1.5 million from the developer's brother in campaign contributions. We called him, we wrote to him, snail mail even just in case they... Governor Abbott? Governor Abbott, no response. I can usually get a call back from somebody no response and we tried for probably five weeks to get I'll fly to you. I'll do it at

Starting point is 02:06:36 any hour, any time, any place. I just have a few questions when I asked the developer. I said questions when I asked the developer, I said, I said, what are the, what are people? You know, why would you, why would you spend $1.4 million to the governor? He's like, well, you know, we really think he's great. And I said, so do I, but I haven't given him 1.4. What are you getting for that 1.4? And he said, you don't get things from politicians like that. And I just looked at him and he went, okay, all right. Okay.

Starting point is 02:07:06 Yeah. I mean, but he didn't tell you. No, he didn't tell me. But what do you think he's getting? If he were to get anything, what would he get from a governor, Abbott? He's getting, I think, call off the dogs. I don't think he's doing anything illegal, okay? But he's doing a lot of immoral stuff, really bad.

Starting point is 02:07:27 He's really, I think, a really bad kind of businessman. But I don't think he's doing anything illegal. But how can the governor who has such a problem, now this is a red, deeply red county. It won't be for long. It, the migrant, if you wanna call it that, the migrant population already dwarfs the people that used to live there, okay? This is about flipping Texas once these,

Starting point is 02:08:01 and once people understand what he's doing There are all kinds of shady businessmen all over the country. I mean, we've we have grown our population the size of one arkansas in four years Well, that's not not not arkansas alabama one alabama You can't keep this up without completely changing the financial alone, the financial situation of the country. And Texas would be the first round draft pick for the Democrats to flip. Oh, they would love Texas before Florida, by the way.

Starting point is 02:08:40 Oh, you flip Texas in your Denver. You'll never see a Republican again. Well, that's the entire point of a completely open border, but no answers, no accountability for my orcas. Nobody, everybody's using the whole humanitarian thing. That is so, because that's exactly what the point is, and now you're seeing it because they're building cities. And like you said, that's going to flip. Why else would they have the border completely open? Why? That's it right there. You know, there's a couple of things that have been in play for a very long time

Starting point is 02:09:09 that people don't understand. One is the cloud and pivine collapse theory. You overwhelm the system. You use the system and pit it against itself. You overwhelm it and you collapse the economy. You collapse the government because of debt. That's in play. The other thing is, again, all of it is about chaos and collapse.

Starting point is 02:09:34 You know, the Red Cross, doctors without borders, they are handing out maps. We have them handing out maps to people in middle America and South America. They're handing them out with the train schedules, the stops where you'll be welcome, the maps how to go, where to go to cross into the United States, the Red Cross, the United Nations and doctors without borders. Those are three that we can verify, because we have the document, we have what they're handing out. This is an organized plot to collapse the United States.

Starting point is 02:10:17 When we go into real trouble, I mean, look at what came out today with Denver, they can't afford the hospitals. When we go into real trouble and we hit real economic hard times and you've got rationing and everything else and you have 10 million people that are already disaster. Do you think things are going to get better or worse and how long does it take before people say, you know what? This was my land in the first place. And I don't mean Americans.

Starting point is 02:10:51 I mean, everybody's been groomed to say, America stole this land. How long before Californians start to hear, you know what? This is Mexican land. This is foreign land. You stole it from us. You introduce real poverty and despair.

Starting point is 02:11:11 We're sitting on a powder keg. A powder keg. We got to humble ourselves and return to solid principles. That's powerful. Right now, you saw last week that this debate come back and forth online how You know we have more potential migrants in illegal immigrants coming here in one term than the previous three terms combined They're projecting 12.99 Million illegal immigrants coming through here. Did you did you see what the world economic forum said?

Starting point is 02:11:44 Canada now imagine being a Canadian. Canada has the most open space, the most resources for farming and to take people and water, and they're suggesting that in the next few years, the next decade, that they should take on 35 million immigrants to cross-servoir. By the way, the population of Canada on 35 million immigrants to cross report. By the way, the population of Canada is 35 million. Yeah. And you know what? By the way, you know what?

Starting point is 02:12:12 Let's send a bunch of buses over to Canada. We should. I mean, hey, help us out. Yeah, we'll send. We'll contribute to Justin. Anyway, today we're going to put the link below Rob for the documentary, if you can, as well as the link to Glenn's book to be able to order as well, Rob, if you can, as well as the link to Glenn's book to be able to order as well, Rob, if you can put that dark future on covering the great

Starting point is 02:12:29 resets, terrifying next face available on Amazon just came out a few months ago. Both will be there. Glenn, it's been a blast. Happy new year. Oh, great. This was phenomenal. Looking forward to it. And Glenn, Glenn touched my arm. Yeah. That's a visual of endorsement for the Menec app. You guys thought that's absolutely true in a world that tells us. 59 Menec to wait for Vini. Vini is. I have to see.

Starting point is 02:12:56 You are. There's a good you up and by midnight. I have to dress my constituents. Guys, please get on the neck. We're doing this tonight. I'm staying up all night. I respond to everybody. Vini doesn't hang out me on the weekends anyway. So I believe you. Thank everybody. Have a great weekend. Bye bye.
