I Did you ever think you would make it I feel I'm so I could take sweet the story I know this life meant for me Yeah, why would you bet on theoliath when we got bet David? Value payment, giving values, contagious disorder, entrepreneur's, we can't no value that haters.

I'd be running home, you look what I become. I'm the one. All right, so we've missed this thing called PVD podcast. And we haven't done it for a minute. We had a crazy event this last week. I think it's fair to say was the sickest vault conference ever, Tom Brady, Mike Tyson, and a middle of the interview saying,

hey, do we have some time? I said, yeah, why? I got to use the risk of the first time ever. He walks out. The after party made no sense. It was craziness. We have to shut down the interco stole, making sure cops didn't show up,

leaving at three o'clock in the morning with plans of what we're going to be doing next year. Tom Brady's interview. Some of the questions that were asked was very interesting. Bella check was the seventh ring more to win, have one more than Bella check or to have one more than Michael. Your thoughts are what? You're thinking what?

I'm thinking he's going after Bella check. His former coach, I don't think it's MJ. I think he respects me a lot of MJ. You think he wants to be the greatest of all the time? Greatest of the greatest, as he wants to. Well, here we go. Listen, here he is. He's careful to because Bill Russell had 10 championships. So if that's really what his aspirations are, he needs to play four more years in the NFL. Listen, Tom, there's one more above that too. You know, he tried very hard to be Switzerland and his answer. And he was really selling it, saying, I cared about the current one.

I cared about what I was doing right then. I cared about the game I was playing right now. Really tried to be something. But I think eventually, Rob, if you can go to Twitter to show the painting that we gave him at the end as a gift, then. That was sick. You saw the Daily Mail picked a story. Yeah, Daily Mail picked a story. I just go to Daily Mail. Go to the Daily Mail, and he won.

I love it. Well, I picked course. Just go to Daily Mail. Go to the Daily Mail, and then on top of it. I love it. I love it. It's an optical. But he wasn't that happy when he found out I was a giant. Oh, I didn't just like, you guys. Watch this. You didn't post that, bud.

So we got him. It's a Tom Brady's left stun by massive painting of his career highlights as a future all of them replaced our Mount Rushmore by Lionel Messi. Michael Jordan Tiger Woods checked us out. Goal Lord, that was intentional, by the way. We wanted four names on Mount Rushmore. And there's BVD. And I'm like, make a guy. Go a Lord. That was intentional by the way. We wanted four names on the amount rush more. Click on the DVD. And I'm like, go, go, go, go a little bit, just press play on that. I don't have to have

the painting in there as a picture. If they don't, that's a couple. There's a couple wide shots. That's the Mount Rushmore right there. It's him. That's so bad. Tiger, messy, and Jordan, okay, on the Mount Rushmore. We had him as a kid. We're in Joe Montana's Jersey, throwing the ball. We had him at the draft, it was awesome, giving him the gift because, you know, this is a guy like we grow, you're saying this is your guy. This is my guy.

Kobe's my guy, we grew up when you're a fan and you watch a guy's career, you're going through it. Anyways, I'm so glad he liked it, we had a great event. And for those that were there, you know what I'm talking about, Ken, I'm telling you, wait till you hear what we're doing for next year. We're going to announce Vault 2024 soon, rather than later. We had senators at the place. We had the weirdest people at the place, ranging from regular businesses to doing a half a billionaire.

It was a great event. Can we to do it again? The audience, like the actual caliber of people that were there. You heard from everybody. They were like, wow, like the actual caliber of people that were there, you heard from everybody, they were like, wow, like even the people that bind like the cheap seats kind of thing, which aren't that cheap. They're like, wow, the caliber of people were here. And then everyone, the CEOs, to the executive, to the, you know, what is it, the general, they were like,

the shout out to the sales team up there. They're like, what do these guys? The whole staff. The whole staff. completely on the ball. But Adam, it didn't matter who was, if they're dealing with you, if they're dealing with Vinny, if they're dealing with anybody, and by the way, let's not forget,

we'll get there. We'll get there a person out. He cursed me a will. Yeah. You use some bad words against me, man. I don't appreciate it. And I'm just joking. He said, you know, he was,

a lot of people were like, I was shocked by the fact. I don't appreciate it. I'm just joking. He was great. You know, he was. A lot of people were like, I was shocked by the fact. I told everybody, wait till it ends. Will could end up being your favorite speaker. Will crushed it. He was. I love him, Madison.

Shout out to him, making a comeback. He's an operator that's been there. He's been to the mountain. He set his goal. He got to the top of the mountain. Yeah. And just, uh, Raining number on restaurant.

Three missionless. And put his flag on the top of the mountain. Did a great job. Back to Brady for a second. What did you learn about Brady that you just had no idea before? Like for instance, when we were back, he's tossing the football to Dylan, Diko Pat, they ran a post across the middle. I bought it. All of you guys got it. The Assyrian Randy Moss over here.

Here's what I'll tell people. He's actually taller. Holy shit. God. The guy is tall. Yes. I have your legit six four. He's at least two inches tall. No, he was. He's actually taller. Holy shit. That's God. The guy is tallest. I have to get legit six four. He's at least two inches tall. No, he was.

He's tall. I'm obviously with the shoes, with shoes. And slimmer. Remember, cleats are an inch and a half. Sure. Rob, can you pull up the video? And not to be controversial, better looking that I thought. That's like a statue.

I shook his hand. Yo, I shook his hand. My eyes were where his zipper was. And what would you do about it? Would you do about it? I was just like, this is how many? I was like, I was like, the goal. He's the guy out from.

He's the goal. I don't think that guy needs any help with that. Say go help. And he's all that help he can get. By the way, he saved that for God's sake. It was actually, it was actually, you know, there was a part of it that was emotional. There was a part of watching him, you know, talking about what he was talking about. He went on fire, talking about Drew Hansen.

I mean, that whole story, he had to tell the details of it. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, this is it. By the way, NFL Combine, if you guys are watching, I run a 554. Yeah, I don't know. Gordon plus press the drop. I'll take a one day contract for Take Grant watch this I even switch I had the quarterback good watch this You did it your

Look at it with red bottom shoes by the With red bottoms with red bottoms Almost ran into the wall Did you almost like and you're on a carpet, dude? That's how Joe. A cross the middle like you had to. Wow. So good catch though. Can't drop that guy. The guy was very good.

He just comes and he goes like this. He says, hey, so P.B.D. is daddy going to run around? I'm like, yeah, run a run. Dylan runs. Go ahead, press that right there. Dylan goes. And he says, hot. Why do you look?

He says, we gotta go back five yards. Missed that iPad, Kelly, thank you. Thanks, y'all. And then he does it again. That's how technical this guy was. Yeah, he doesn't play. He's messing with an eight-year-old guy. I like that.

Oh, sorry, dumb. Look at, look at Dilly. And he did that. Oh, really boy. But Senna didn't want to run around. She wants to be a princess. She wants to be a baby. She wants to be a baby.

Senna's a girly girl. He's a baby girl. Anyways, we had a great time. Wish you were there even Tico caught it. And this is the vault drink. Everybody in their mother was drinking. This is like launch, protectingly. Like everybody there was drinking it.

Wow, we'll do full blown lawn. Full blown lawn. But the vault drink we've been drinking for a few months, just too., everybody there was drinking it. Wow, we'll do full blown lawn. Full blown lawn. But the bulk drink we've been drinking for a few months, just to fully before we do that. So anyway, it's every podcast you're gonna see is gonna be sponsored by the vault drinks. So when you see the same word. I mean, they had eight a day, this is gonna learn more.

Why are the buyers? All right, let's go into a lot of stories. Number one, three people, three different people. Others claimed that they could be assassinated. One, Tucker claimed, Trump's about could be assassinated. One, Tucker claimed Trump's about to be assassinated. Russian propagandaist said Tucker's about to be assassinated and Elon Musk's father set the way Elon is going. He's worried about Elon being assassinated,

all in the same news cycle. Tucker made a few crazy claims about Barack Obama and what he did with you know, Gasex and crack and he said some other things about what's going on. They will cover that one maybe in a minute. Trump waves a rain mint. Pleads not guilty into Georgia case. The Santas team denies Trump rumor that he'll drop out of the race. The Santa's super super pack., urgent plea to donors. We need 50 million bucks. Then he got Trump or old sees Haley surging towards the Santa's. Biographer says it wouldn't be a

total shock if Biden drops out. Gavin Newsom making some big moves. We'll talk about that here in a minute. Fauci, Vinnie's got an update for us with Fauci, roasted as fraught and liar after being confronted and damning study on masks. What else we got here? Resilient U.S. economy defies expectation. Kevin Oliyri warns chaos is about to begin for U.S. economy, wake up and smell the roses. Why youth unemployment and surging in Russia?

I'm sorry, in China, BMW Mercedes launch in biggest EV push yet to catch Tesla. All in come brackets now living paycheck to paycheck. And we talked about Musk, Musk said some things about his daughter, you know, blames elite LA school for brainwashing communist trans daughter into hating him for being rich. By the way, this school is $50,000 a year per kid. And then Wall Street Journal story, which is kind of emotional and sentimental. They've been friends for 60 years. Lu and Bobby have figured out what most men don't.

Four out of 10 men today don't have a best friend. If you don't have a best friend, we will be your best friend. European podcasts. We're also looking for best friends. Harvard, Harvard happiness experts says there are three types of friendship. Here's why you need them all. We'll cover all of that. Anyway, let's go into some economy here, Tom.

Kevin Oliore warns chaos. It's about to begin for U.S. economy. Wake up and smell the roses. This is a fox business story. Kevin Oliore chairman of Oliore Enchers and Shark Tank Star caution that the U.S. economy is on the brink of chaos due to Biden administration policy. St. a month of September is going to be chaotic for the economy.

He highlights the disparity in government aid, stating we've given nothing to small businesses, oligiri warns of the impact of small business, from rising interest rates, noting Fed is raising rates up to 5.5% in a matter of months, oligiri expresses concerns for small businesses, access to financing stating, if you're in the S&P 500,

you have no trouble financing your business. You can't say that about small businesses anymore. The cost of capital has gone through the roof. He predicts a reduction in regional banks from 4,100 to 2,000. That's 50% leading to a public worry about deposits and staining. Your only guarantee $250,000, That's 50%. Leading to a public worry about deposits and staining,

you're only guaranteed $250,000, or a leverage of support for small businesses, recommending an extension of the employee retention credit, saying, wake up to the importance of small businesses, providing 60% of jobs in America, Tom, what are your thoughts on this? Well, there's a couple of things with Kevin O'Leary. So, and I'm gonna take three of them.

Self-interest, chicken little, and the truth. So I feel like Karnak. Remember Johnny Carson, Karnak, the magnificent, we say three things in the answer. So let's start with chicken little. The sky is falling. There's things about that happening in the economy and that's very, very true. Very true what's going on. But the second party talks about is the employee retention credit, he's been involved and he's been pimping for it. There's all these commercials for that. So he wants extension of the employee retention credit

and he's running a service bureau, PBD, that makes him money as the spokesman. So this is not the first time like a FTX where Kevin O'Leary's been a spokesman. That seems to have colored his public comments. But the one thing he's talking about, he's right on the truth part on the economy. So setting aside from chicken little grabbing headlines, setting aside from he's actually as a service bureau and getting paid on the employee retention credit, a little conflict

of interest there, he's right about the economy and small business. Credit cards are at one trillion dollars. Job growth is actually slowing. Interest rates are for houses, even for good credit, around 8% now for a 30-year fixed. And the housing sales slow not coming back. And he's right. When those interest rates are up there, can you imagine what it's like for a small business person if it's an 8% mortgage? And a mortgage member is backed up with a collateral called the House. Well, small business people walking in and they're looking at 10, 11 and 12% loans right now

from banks. So he's right about that. And we already know about the commercial real estate that's gonna be pinching the regional banks and the big banks are just gonna buy them up for discounted big stacks of commercial real estate. So he's right about that. And I think that what we're seeing here is inflation still being stubborn at about 3.5%.

We're going to get another quarter point in one of the two upcoming meetings of the Fed, which means that the interest rates aren't gonna go down anytime soon. So there's a lot of truth in what he's saying is that the end of Q3 and going into holiday season, I'd like to know, and I'm waiting with Bated Breath to see what Black Friday is gonna look like with credit cards already at a trillion dollars.

It feel like the consumer is running out of gas, and he's right, those consumers who are running small businesses got to fund their own stuff too. I like you gave sort of a spectrum of where he is. You called it the chicken little, then you called it the what? Self-interest. Self-interest, bingo.

And what's the third one? And third one is the truth, because there's truth in these sets. I went right to number two, because the self-interest side of things, there's a business model for this. I would call these, these are like the financial shock jocks, the Doomsday Preppers of Finance,

is that they are motivated not to be prognosticators or what you call Johnny Carson's back in the day, would he call them? Well, I was saying, when I said three things, it's like Karnak. Karnak, Karnak, Karnak, because you say, you know, three things and then give you three answers. Got it.

I just needed the Karnak. Thanks, but basically, you know, he's predicting the downfall of the economy. So if that is the case, Kevin O'Leary, put your money where your mouth is, sir, do the Michael Burry thing. Go ahead and short the market. Do the big short because anyone can just go out there and be like, get the sky is falling. Love that.

The sky is falling. And basically, pray on people to buy your products. What's the product you said he's selling? Employee retention credits. He's a spokesperson for. There you go. Have you got your own flow over there? No, I have a retention credit.

The reason I respect someone like Michael Burry on this podcast is because he called it in 08. Put his money where his mouth is. Did the big short, did a movie and did it now again? Hundreds of million dollars for it. Exactly. So unless you're that dude that is actually going to be like the economy is going down where

the economy, there's going to be in a recession and you put your money and you short the market, shut your freaking mouth. And I respect Kevin O'Leary, but anyone could just, the economy's this, the recession's this, it's like the reality is nobody actually knows. Nobody actually knows. Unless you put your money where your mouth is,

it's all just hot air. And that's what I'm saying. I wish, there's my last point. I wish there was some accountability for people who are these financial shock jocks, doomsday preppers of finance, that we circle back and be like, hey, Kevin, you said the economy was going to tank. It's actually up 20% this year.

What do you say about that? Like, where's that? We would all be part of that camp, by the way, just so you know, we would be part of that camp, who we've talked about what could happen to the market to the economy. But you know what it is? A part of it for what you're saying with Michael Burry, there's a reason why Michael has that kind of respect to short the market.

You have a very good point there. Tom, when it comes on to next story here, all in Combrackets, now living paycheck to paycheck, a study shows, we're not talking like just minimal wage. This article's talking about all in Combrackets, now living paycheck to paycheck. Study done by lending club bank finds that inflation mortgage rates over 7% credit card APR, about 20% have let all income brackets to the paycheck to paycheck in July 2023,

61% of US consumers lay paycheck to paycheck, up 2% points from July 2022. The shares of low income consumers living this way rose from seventy four percent in july twenty twenty two to seventy eight percent among those earning fifty two hundred thousand dollars annually sixty five percent of the paycheck to paycheck in july up from sixty three percent high-income consumers earning more than a hundred thousand dollars a hundred thousand dollars annually

saw a small increase rising from 43% to 44. Study reveals that regardless of income, Americans need their next paycheck to cover monthly expenses due to rising consumer goods, good costs, and living expenses. Higher interest rates have increased credit debt to break the cycle down, sizing housing, negotiating bills, automating savings, and using high yield savings accounts are recommended. Let me read that last part again. To break this cycle, downsizing housing, negotiating bills, automating savings,

and using high yield savings accounts are recommended. If this is reading correctly, Tom, this would validate that eventually if people run out of a savings and they're tapping into their credit cards, we're about to see this. Now, obviously, the average person looks at the market and says, what, what are you guys talking about? There's nothing going on. Mark is doing good, Mark is doing great, bi-dynamics is crushing it, you know, maybe better than

Reaganomics, any of that stuff. What would you say to those people? I would say the S&P 500 and the stock market index has got nothing to do with helping middle-class America pay their bills. And what you're seeing here, we've been talking about it. The middle class is getting crushed. And you look at the lower part of the middle class there. Now 78%, almost 80% of that lower band is living paycheck to paycheck.

And almost two thirds of the next band are living paycheck to paycheck and almost two thirds of the next band are living paycheck to paycheck. We've been talking about the middle class is getting crushed. Commodities like eggs and gasoline have come down. Everything else has stayed up. These people are using credit cards to do it. And suddenly we've got like the statement you just read, hey, if you need to break the cycle, downsize housing. sell your current house to who,

no one's buying, the interest rates are too high for the next person. That's the point. Negotiate your bills, negotiate with who, the credit cards are getting maxed out, automate your savings. How can you save when you're using the credit card to make up for the inflation pinch on your common expenses

and use high yield savings account? Well, that's nice, you've got nothing to save, how do you put it in there? The middle class is getting crushed and the inflation effect on those two bands has been cataclysmic. And we'll mind you guys, Pat, you guys, you know, done pretty well for yourselves.

I'm in that between 50 to 100,000 and I'm feeling it and seeing it from every single thing, Pat, just going to the public, just going to the local supermarket now. I've never in my life looked at price this time on the shelf and out loud been like, are you serious? And other people in the aisles are like teaming up going, I never, I'm starting random

conversations with people. And they're not coming down. And they're not. Eggs did, but everything else time is not. And it's like, you guys, because I think it was live on this podcast out of where the White House remember the recession, the two quarters of negative growth Well, they live change the the definition. It's like at what point do we admit? It's messed up and just come on and say like Tom

We're living in it right now and how much is it gonna affect? The election because I mean that's to me that's that's the average American and that's me and I'm feeling it I'll give you this you you know how Tom gave, you know, three different things, I'm gonna give you two different things, because you know, you always highlight that the PBD podcast is different from the Saw's cast audience,

so I'll give two different messages over here. So some to the younger single dudes out there, and then those to the family is out there, because those are different categories, because I don't wanna get ripped a new one. From PVD when I tell people you can just Uber rather than having a car payment for a thousand folks. Folks, braced for impact. Here we come. So let them eat cakes. If you're young and you don't have a family and you're just a young hustler guy or girl out there, the key to life in America these days is having low overhead and high flexibility.

Keep your costs low and your flexibility high. You don't know what the hell's around the corner. Andy Grove once said, only the paranoid survive whether Kevin O'Leary is right or wrong, a Michael Burry or Warren Buffett, it thinks the economy is strong. No one knows what you can do to control your own pocketbook and your own financial security is keep your head on a swivel, see what's going on, and that also just stay the course as far as your financial situation. What I would also say is those that have families, those that can't necessarily have that high level of flexibility

and the low overhead because you are maybe fixed in on a house, you can't sell it, You can downsize on cars. That's not what I'm recommending, specifically. But there is something going on in America today. And it's very interesting, because Andrew Tate highlighted when we spoke with him, it's the sense of rugged individualism that America has founded on, being an individual, but also juxtaposed with a sense of family.

If you remember, Tate told that story about the seven Muslim brothers that all lived in the same house, and they pulled their resources, and they all lived together, and they worked together, and they were all driving fancy cars, and doing fancy things, because they didn't have seven different rents to pay. So for those people out there, I do understand why you wanna be an individual.

So you're saying take three families and live together and have them? I'm just saying, I'm moving on. There is a lack of the, whether you call it the nuclear family or the familial unit. Like I know that you wanna buy it three different lots of your properties right next to you and have your dad there, your sister there,

your family there and all that. You also very highlight the Asian family in your community. I am saying that if you do have kids and you do have family, they don't necessarily rush to get their own apartment and move out to college and pay rent over here and a car over here. Oh, so don't kick your kids out, doesn't it say?

I'm just saying that the family unit is the strongest thing we have in America. And it's very interesting. But we have this sense of like, your 18 get the hell out of the house. I would recommend that young people are 18, stay in the house, save rent, lower bills, keep the family unit. Did you talk to Tiko and Dylan? Is this what's part of them? Yeah, they're going to be there till they're 30.

There it is. Yeah, but they can have girls over, but the doors must marry main open. I'm sorry. Yeah. So it works. Especially Santa homey. Yeah. It's not happening.

No one goes on the second floor. Go ahead. But Pat, like, think about it, Adam, in my 40s, single, but whatever, like when I'm telling you, it's feeling it right and mad you. I don't spend money on crazy stuff. I have a freaking Toyota Corolla Pat. But the gas, the rent, it's getting insane. Like I've been looking at the numbers, it's getting a lot more.

Really bad. I'll add one more thing. Everyone's like, oh my God, what, 63% paycheck to paycheck, what's the exact number? 65%. By the way, it was the same thing 10 years ago. When I started doing financial content, two out of three people are living paycheck to paycheck.

That was under Obama, that was under Trump, welcome to America. This is nothing new. Yes, inflation's higher, wages have gone up a little bit. This is America. People are overspending, they're not saving for the last 10 years since I've been doing financial content. 50% of Americans own investments, own stocks,

it has not changed. So your habits need to change, because America's not changed. It's an evergreen message that is continuous to be given and it's very necessary to be given. I'm glad you're making that adjustment. So I think the way, if I want to unpack what I took away from what you said.

Parents, three families, combine and live together, consider the religion of Muslim, is kind of like where you were going with that. It's breaking news. I'm converting to Islam. Jew is converting to Islam. That's the feeling. Just to save that money.

That's it. That's what I'm willing to do, guys. Can I take the last word real quick? Go for it. Go to the next one. 10 years ago, what was the population of America? What's the population of America now? When the government steps in to bridge this

and give people relief checks, it's a bigger check for our grandchildren, and I'm just gonna leave it right there. Because the population and the number of people that are in these things is tens of millions greater, so it is a bigger problem when you get a socialist president that says we're gonna print money, bail you out, and pass it down to the grandchildren.

Okay, let's go to the next story. Next story, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, should we down to the grandchildren. Okay, let's go to the next story. Next story, pa pa pa pa, should we go to the unemployed and it's trying, I think we talked about that, right? Yeah, we do. Okay, let's go to Elon Musk Blames Elite Schools for brainwashing, communist trans daughter into hating Kim for being rich, by the way, these types of stories. You have no idea what this is. I know, I read these types of stories.

Oh, okay, just go to page 17. Here we go. Ah, pa pa pa pa. Here we go. Ilan Masha attributes his daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson's distancing from him to her schools and flown stating she went beyond socialism to be in a full-on communist and thinking that anyone rich is evilly discloseless.

The rift is deeply painful comparing it to the loss of his first child. And Lamont's have made many overtures, but she doesn't want to spend time with me. Musk reveals that in April 2022, Wilson's transformation into fervent Marxists led to breakdown in their relationship. He emphasizes her desire to disassociate from him by changing her name and gender. And as she doesn't want to have anything to do with me

Musk singles out crossroad school for arts and science. Can you pull up the school real quick? Crossroads school and arts and sciences as a contributing factor indicating I partly blame the school for her ideological shift He draws a parallel between the school's influence and his perception of Twitter, which he purchased later to defend free speech and counter suppression. Tom, you're a father of two daughters. What do you think about the story? She will be back on the long walk to the middle. Trust me.

She will be back. This reminds me of the young girl who ended up in a viral Twitter pick. She's sitting in an airport with a MacBook Air, expensive sneakers, holding a $7 Starbucks with a big sticker on her MacBook, capitalism sucks, yet capitalism built everything that was in the picture with her. You remember that?

And I feel this is the same thing. The whatever was in that girl's head is what's in Elon Musk's daughter's head. You've got these you know sixty thousand dollar a year liberal teachers that think all rich people are bad and so they're out there telling these stories about it because i don't know they think there's a money tree in the government's just going to give you universal

basic income and all the things you want including a macbook air nice sneakers and a starbucks uh... as a father you have to be active in your kids and you have to tell them two things. Why and when? And I work a lot with my daughters on this, is the why and the when.

Why are things like this and when did it start? And let them go see the facts. I've always said that I want my daughters to have two abilities. One is to reason and the other is to resist. And if I tell them why and when, I present them facts, and I'm big on processing, Pat was an influence on me on processing. I was even more focused on processing the last five years as things have sped up Pat. But I want my kids to be able to reason and resist because I tell them why things started when they started so they can go look it up in history for themselves.

Otherwise they're going to be sitting in a classroom like this and getting bombarded. My kids are going to sit back and go, no, no, wait a minute, wait a minute. What are you saying there? When did that start? Why did that start? What are you talking about? And they're going to be asking that. They're not going to be saying, oh, you're messed up.

I love my dad and you're full of crap. No, they're going to reason right back at it. Why do you think you said that don't worry, she'll be back like in the moderate lane, why do you go back in the middle? On the long walk to the middle. She's gonna come back. Why do you say that?

She's gonna discover a desolate life and minimum wage existence unless she stumbles into some wealthy artist, I almost went into Hunter Biden land there, and can go live her life. She's gonna come back to dad and realize when she's 30 years old, just she's gonna come back and she's saying,

I'm sorry, and she may still have her liberal viewpoints, but there's gonna be a reconciliation. And I call that the long walk to the middle. You go way to the left, and you slowly slide back to the middle and suddenly you find your father's not so crazy. And I call that that long walk back to the middle from her point of extremism now, which has no consequence because she's a student, she's being supported.

There's all these things she doesn't have to worry about. You know what I mean, Adam? You probably see these people in a city like Miami a few of the fringe. By the way, check this out. You know, we're gonna make a point. Yeah, there she is. I don't know if that's actually her though,

but no, that's the girl. That's the viral picture I was talking about. So I don't know if I agree with you, Tom. And here's why. Pat always says, who's in your ear? Who's in your ear? Who's in your ear? Clearly, she has the wrong people in her ear.

And then you said, all right, maybe she walks it back by age 30. That's 20 years from now. It's 15 years from now. She would be so far gone down that rabbit hole of the LGBT wokeness. Plus, cute.

Yeah, she'll throw that pew, the cue, and the pie sign, and I'll print the season and abstract in there. Yeah. She'll throw it all in there. And it might take a decade or two for her to come back. One of the things I love about Pat says is, when you're young, what, you idolize your parents, then you grow to villainize your parents.

She's clearly in the villainization phase. And at some point, maybe age 30 should begin to humanize them. But by age 30, she might have gone through a transgender reassignment surgery, whatever, I don't know what she, what they are. But I think she may be too far gone. And this goes back to the private school thing. It's so ironic that you're paying 50 grand a year for these private schools,

for your kid to end up like this. And the most ironic part of that is any family that can afford 50 grand a year for these private schools, for your kid to end up like this. And the most ironic part of that is any family that can afford 50 grand a year for their family, they are capitalists. They, in order to afford a school like that, you have to be making money, you have to believe in free markets, you have to believe in capitalism, free market capitalism.

So the ironic part is that the kid will then get indoctrinated to market. Why put your kids in a school like that But you know what I would I do like what are you gonna say? I was gonna say pat like this Well people don't realize is this is a regional thing where you know where crossroads is right Pat This is Santa Monica. This is California. Yeah, just like all the all the right barbed-rode a book on this school 18 years ago. I know people that I know people that have you know this is a school that had

18 years ago. I know people that I know people that have you know this is a school that had a monagia prom like you go to school with three the threes and is this what you're gonna say exactly what exactly what you're saying it's regional it's it's Bill Mar was on Joe Rogan a couple a couple days ago Pat and that's one thing he said he's like it's regional in the sense that you go to a dinner in California Pat if there If there's 10 people to dinner, 75% of those kids are trans. It's all where they're at, Pat. And if you have a cross dressing day, Bill, Bill, Marment has a cross dressing day, apparently, like according to the book written 18 years ago, I mean, I'll teed up for you. You've highlighted the increase in the identifying as the LGBT community. I think 20% of Gen Zenzia identifies as this.

It's doubled in the last decade. Are you about to say something? No, no, what I was gonna say is, I love that you're saying she's gonna come back to the middle, but I also love the fact that you're saying, she may never come back to the middle, you may lose it for decades. The reason why both ideas need to be entertained

as a parent is for the parent to know. So think about it this way. Think about it this way. What's the longest you and I went? Think about your best friend, okay? Or one of your best friends, okay? Or a sibling, okay. What's the longest you went?

You, your father, your mother, your best friend, your sibling? What's the longest you went without talking to that person? Well, you guys had a fallen out. What was the timeline? Just pick, I don't give a name who it is. What's the longest you went without talking to that person. Well, you guys had a fallen out. What was the timeline? Just pick, I don't, don't give a name who it is. Yeah. But what's the longest you went without talking to the two person? Five months. I didn't talk to my dad for a few years. We had a very contentious

relationship years. What's yours? Three years. Okay. What's yours? Well, my brother, like maybe two months, three months, things. Okay. Okay. So, so sometimes it happens with friends and you have a friend and you have a fallen, I do don't talk for a month, sometimes six months, sometimes it's just like, look man, we grew apart. Just we don't have the same thing but a fallen out is different than grown apart, right? Imagine the next time you have a 15 year old daughter,

the next time you're able to have a friendly dinner with her is when she's 35. Well, crazy. It's a five-ton. You are 45 years old. You are not going to have another dinner with your daughter till you're 65 years old. Let me, let's do basic math. One day, my dad is at the house and I'm spending the Sunday with him.

And LA used to just, on Texas, he used to only come once a month, and sometimes once every other month. So once a month, he would come in, he would say, three days. And I had a Sunday with him. I'm looking at my dad sitting right there by the couch, and one day I just take a paper and pen, and I calculate how many days I have left with him.

Okay, not days he's gonna live. Days I'm gonna be around him. Okay, then I did that with my kids, and I said, how many Christmases are we gonna have together? How many more days are these guys gonna be my house together? Watching these guys running, running, and all this stuff, right? And after 18, it's gone, right?

It's just period gone. You spend 18 years with them, and then when they leave, you're gonna spend God knows how many times. So maybe two years in the rest of your life. I cannot even imagine going 20 years would not have in a good relation with my daughter. By the way, it's happened into a lot of people

because a few different reasons. One, parents don't have the ability to put them in a Christian private school. Do you know right now every Christian private school here? So when we first moved to Florida, it was open. Like there was not a waiting list. Today, you can't get in. Why?

Because the demand. Oh, by and demand. Oh, wow. Let me put it, let me put it to this way. Christian private schools have so many applications right now. They can take more people. Wow. They don't have a problem with inventory right now.

That their problem is we don't have room, we don't have teachers, we don't have space. So even some parents that want to put their kids in probably like, I'm a millionaire, we understand. So is everybody else that's trying to put their kids in the school. We don't have any room right now, okay? That always tells you how much parents are worried

about putting their kids in public schools today, how concerning it is. But this whole dialogue exchange between Tom and Adam, I believe both ideas need to be entertained by every parent and not just assume they're going to come back, assume they are going to come back. But if you're 45 years old, you got 40 more years to live. You lose 20 of the years of spending time with your kids. That's a quarter of your lifetime. And that's 50% of whatever you have left. You best be entertaining and monitoring who your kids are talking to, who's in their ears

by communicating with them regularly. If you're not involved in their day-to-day lives, this is how they get lost. The more you talk to them and you say, hey, how what did you learn today? Who were you talking to? Who's your best friend? What teacher? What did the teachers say? Parents teach your conference? Actually,

go like the other day. I went to the parent teacher conference. And guess what I'm looking for when I watch these teachers. Let me just watch and see how weird they are. So, you know, it's all I'm looking for. Yeah, I feel you. Not okay. Yeah, she's fine. Okay. Yeah, these are music. Yeah, he's a little but it's cool. He's fine. Okay. This one. Okay. And then I walk out with the music teacher. So tell me about your family. I got married to kids 30 years. Oh great. That's great. How about you? You have to take inventory to ask the questions to learn. So you know, it's not like a risky situation. No matter how much you do, there's still risks because somebody wants to do something. They can still do it. Yeah. But you got to do your part. Anyway, it's good commentary with both. Yeah. One more thing. Yeah. the difference between basically when we were growing up in the 80s, 90s, what have you

versus today is that if you had to fall out with a friend or your dad or your mom or whatever, you come back, you know, two, three, five, 10 years later, you're grown up, you're the same person you've matured. Now when you come back, you might literally be a different sex. You leave as a daughter and you're, hey, say, my son's here. You leave as a son, my daughter's here.

That is the biggest concern today. It's not even just ideological family fighting. It is now full on gender reassignment. You're a completely different human, not just a grown-up version of yourself. And a go-up hat. Yeah, just want to go ahead. And besides the family sense of it with, you know,

father, son, and son and she's transformation She's a fervent Marxist which I've been hearing that that they're teaching that hardcore All these liberal schools path. Well, we failed to understand those kids grow up. These are privileged kids They're the ones are gonna be going into Congress and Senate and that's why all the problems that we're seeing is as these people's attitudes Are turning the country into they want to be communist, you know what I mean? No, I was nodding in agreement with Pat and just, I've got nothing for the bad. By the way, where are we going here? Just so the fact that you're hearing this story any minute down the next 30 minutes, we

can have Billy Bush who is the family brewed distilling company and had an heir to the Anheuser Bush multi-billion out of fortune. He'll be joining us in a few minutes here to discuss what happened with Dylan Mulvaney. I just got a couple questions for him. We'll spend 15 minutes with him. We'll get back to the very ironic story. So yeah, that's exactly why I brought it back.

So Fauci, let's talk about Fauci. Fauci rose to that fraud and liar after being confronted by damning study on masks. So, let's take a look at this. Let's take a look at this on Fauci take a look at this unfouchy, you know, what he's doing this time. Flip his flouchy. Okay. So, Dr. Anton Fauci, face backlash on social media after admitting on CNN that a study showed masks had limited impact on the overall course of the COVID-19 pandemic while acknowledging weaker data for pandemic

wide-effect, Fauci maintained that individual level studies indicated masks could offer some protection. Critics including Senator Rand Paul and commentators seized, Fauci maintained that individual level studies indicated masks could offer some protection, critics including Senator Rand Paul and commentators seized on Fauci's statement, labeling him a fraud and a liar they highlighted the apparent inconsistency of his stance, masks working individually but not on a larger scale leading to accusations of deception and mistrust, Fauci's shifting mask guidance during the pandemic also fueled controversy initially downplayed mask effectiveness due to shortages later endorsing them as supplies increased Vinnie. Well, first I've been calling him flip-flop Fauci for for the longest time. It's like okay, he's retired. Am I am I right Rob? He's finished. He's not even supposed to be. It's just weird that

now that all the stuff that we're hearing about is this a clip, by the way? This is the clip that path. Do me a favor while while he places. Look at how creepy this guy's eyes are on the left. But look at look at how she over tired guy, but they keep bullying him out whenever it's something about. Let's see what he comes out. Brett Stevens in the Times talked about Cochran. Put that on the screen. The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illness, including COVID-19, was published last month. Its conclusions said Tom Jefferson, the Oxford epidemiologist who is the lead author were unambiguous. There is just no evidence that they, masks, make

any difference. He told the journalist, Mayan Dem, D'Amassi, full stop. But wait, hold on, what about the N95 masks as opposed to the lower quality? Surgical or cloth masks makes no difference. None of it, he said, well, what about the studies that initially persuaded policymakers to impose mask mandates? They were convinced by non-randomized studies, flawed observational studies. How do we get beyond that finding of that particular review? Yeah, but there are other studies Michael that show at an individual level for individual. When you're talking about the effect

on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole. If you know Fintech, you know the category is moving fast.

It's a nothing salad. Wait a minute, individual level. Individuals. And by the way, this just came out. I don't know if you saw this. This thing just came out, Vinny, if you saw this, let's hear. From CDC apparently, breaking CDC has stated that Americans who have had received the mRNA COVID vaccines are now at a high risk of infection from new

variants of the virus and those who aren't vaccinated. So you talk about Jill Biden, Pahu yesterday tested positive. Can you verify this? Go forward. Jill Biden, dope. I'm pretty sure vaccinated vaccinated every single booster shot. She's probably in line for another booster. But this goes to my question is Americans, are we going to, are you going to comply when they try to bring this back? Because you know what's coming back. These are the signs.

The first lady, COVID, you wheel out Fauci. He's trying to be like, well, I said it, but I didn't, but I didn it. I, this is going to be a beautiful test to see if Americans are going to bow down and do exactly as they're told again, because it's starting to come back. Phil Adolfi is doing it. I'm seeing my mom flew recently. She said people, the airport are already starting to wear the mask. It doesn't work. And I sent Rob a video pat of Fauci. This is mid pandemic during the pandemic,

saying on 60 minutes mask, nobody during a pandemic should be wearing a mask because they don't wear it. Rob, do you have that? That little clip I sent at you. It's like, how many times are we going to let these people flip-flop a time? And then zero accountability. And why do we keep willing them out?

He's retired. We don't want to see you anymore. Can you show it really fast? Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks. You're sure of it, because people are listening really. No, closely to this. Right now, people should not be walking.

There's no reason to be walking down with a mask. When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. So what was the day? That was March of 2020. Mid pandemic. No, not mid, like very early, right? March of 20.

Very early, but even it doesn't matter if the head, hey, that's Mr. Science says, you don't, it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, then what's the point? And then my real question, I'm being genuine, then what is it, is it a show of their power of like they could mess with us whenever they want? Because if it doesn't work, what's the point? Why?

Yeah, good question. I think, look, as the president, George W. Bush once said, you know, fool me once. You can't, you can't get fooled again. Tourist. You know, fool me once. Yeah. Shame on you, fool me. Twice, shame on me.

So, look, I think what happened to COVID, just taking like kind of a step back, it was so new, it was so weird. We've never seen anything like this. First time in a hundred years of pandemic, people are told to trust the science, you know, Operation War, Speed Trump, you got Fauci out there doing this thing.

It's just like, you have Dr. Burke's other, people didn't have no clue. No clue, they're telling, how would you get a shot? Don't get a shot, I don't know, you get a travel if you. No clue. They're telling you, oh, get a shot. Don't get a shot. I don't know. You get a travel.

If you want to leave the country, you got to try, like, but I feel to use the George W. Bush and can't get food again. Yeah. I feel like if this happens again, people are like, nah, bro. You really have that much faith in the average American? I do. I do.

I don't. They're going to, they're going to ball it on. And this comes down to what I was going to say. There's a difference between choice and mandates I think we can all agree this is not a country where mandates play well If you want to get Vax if you want to wear a Max if you want to put a face type on your face as they say More power to you do your thing if you're like not dude. That's not for me. I don't want to get Vax I don't play that game.

Then that's on you. Like look, Jill Biden has COVID now. My mom just got over COVID. Certain people close to us in the vicinity of valedictament have had COVID. It's a real thing. And whether you get vaccinated, whether you don't get vaccinated, that's your choice.

But I do not believe in mandate. And I understand the book. you're saying that now Adam, what I'm saying is, like you said, that chaos said madness, and then I mean, they knew what the hell was going on. They know what the deal is, they were mandating it. You couldn't fly, Adam, you remember? If you're on an airplane, and you even tried to lure your mask,

they were on top of you, right? And some people, I saw, I was on a flight coming here at them, they kicked the dude off. He's like, I'm not gonna, I'm not wearing a mask. They kicked them off. So, I mean, we've changed my curiosity is when it hits the fan again and it's coming because the new BA, whatever, the app for the sheep,

it's the new one, let's see how America is doing. Can you go back to what you just pulled out when I said, can you verify this, that one article? Let me read this here, based on what, can you please read that? Sure, this is from CDC.gov. Based on what CDC knows now, existing tests used to detect and detect and medication used to treat COVID-19 appear to be effective with this variant.

BA286 may be more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines. And again, that's from CDC.gov. That's from CDC. That's a CDC. So go out and get unvaccinated so you'll be safer. Yeah. How do you do that? But can't get pulled again. And here's my thing. Here's the here's what the average American is thinking, not a conspiracy theorist. Co a conspiracy theorist, coincidence theorist.

Isn't it, it's a weird coincidence that now we're getting close to election year. This is the test. This is the test. This is the, oh, there's another variant put on the mask. The first lady has it at what point is going to get that we're like, oh God, pandemic number two is here. You got to stay home. Nobody leave your house.

Vote from your house. And mail in ballots. Pat, I'm telling you guys right now, that's where they're leading up to. Let's wrap this up with one thing. You know, the weatherman can say, you can pop that Malik pop that one back up. I'm in CDC. We're going to go to the next last statement real fast. You know, it can rain or it can be a hurricane. Right. And right now it says here, at this point, there's no evidence that this variant is causing more serious, more severe illness.

There you have it. So guess what? There is a direct link in all this to herd immunity and that the variants out there are not making people as sick as they used to. So when you see the word COVID, it's not like saying rain versus hurricane. The hurricane's over. They may rain in the rain for a couple of days and you get sick. And by the way, P.S. China still has not been held accountable.

I'd like to just point that out what the hell is going on in China. Is that weird? It's going to point that out right there. Weird. We still pat to this day. Wait, you still can't even save that type of stuff for being racist. Where is the accountability for work? You know what was the most funniest thing is when that one time when Trump says,

it's called China virus. Yeah. And then it says, sir, you can't call a China. That's discriminated against the whole population. We have an America. And then the reporter. Journalist reporter who's Chinese, Asian lady says, it's called China. Why would you say that to me?

Would you say that to me because I'm Chinese? No, it's because it's from China. And then the story comes out, it's from China. So we're going to go for that. Is that one, is that one, that's one, that can you just play that? That's not the Asian, no that's not the Asian. No, I know it starts with that and she's the last one. Oh, that's good.

Go play it from the beginning. It's not the right, she's cute. Watch this. Keep calling's the last one. Go ahead and play it from the beginning. Right? She's cute. Watch this. Keep calling this the Chinese virus. There are reports of dozens of incidents of bias against Chinese Americans in this country. Your own age, Secretary Charles has made it. He does not miss this term.

He's a person who does not cause the virus. Why do you think that? Because he comes from China. It's not racist at all. No, not at all. It comes from China. It's not racist at all, no, not at all. He comes from China. That's good. That's why.

What if he don't have the angel in here? Yeah, because China's like, why are you looking at me when you're saying China? China. Yeah. It's like in a 40-year-old version. It's like, what's your bond? And then next story, be China.

We're not going to go back to the history books. He was the race, the Spanish flu, or race the Hong Kong. The old weird. Or the great insult to pigs around the world, the swine flu. Exactly. Shout out to monkey parks though. Vinny got that one down. Let's talk about, let's talk about, do we want to talk about the friends?

Let's talk about the friends right now. They've been friends for 60 years. Lew and Bobby have figured out what most men don't when he comes. Do it again that voice. I love that. I love it. But let's get it on. Listen, Lew and Bobby, what a name? Lew, lifelong friends, Lew Wilcox and Bobby Robach, Jr. who met in 1962 continue their strong bond by spending Saturdays together.

Their routine involves breakfast, errands, and heartful conversations that reflect their shared stories and understanding that declining close friendships, especially among men, is evident with 15% lacking close friends as of 2021, per the American perspective survey, societal norms, emphasizing work and family over emotional sharing contribute to this transcending psychology professor Michael Addis. The chemistry of friendships thrives on shared experiences. Lewin Bobby's journey includes growing up in similar household facing illness, facing, so in other words,

have COVID with friends and careers in law enforcement. They navigated differences openly and support each other through lifelong challenges. They're enduring companionships, serves as a model for mental health and well-being as they navigate together. And by the way, go ahead. I was gonna say the article that follows this. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.

Yeah, so Harvard happiness expert, Harvard happiness expert. There are three types of friendships. Here's why you need all of them. The utility friendship. Those that can pay your bills. No, I'm just joking. Think about the relationship you have with people,

with whom you work with, or with whom you do business with. These relationships tend to be transactional in nature. Friendships based on pleasure. I mean, there's some words for this as well, right? So this one comes with benefit. This type of relationship is based on mutual admiration because each person draws pleasure from each other.

If a person finds their friend funny, interesting and a source of enjoyment, it is likely a friendship of pleasure. And last but not least, perfect friendship by Aristotle's standards. Perfect friendships are those between people who have a mutual love or something that not only brings them together,

but elevates their behavior to virtue. A relationship is perfect, not when it is based on utility or pleasure, but when it is focused on improving the circumstance of the other person. Are we perfect friends? So what's going on over here? I think we're all perfect friends. Yeah, what do you think?

Well, why is this a headline? I mean, Philadelphia. Wall Street Journal. No, no, no, no, no, no. But think about it. Philadelphia was known as the city of brother they love for people in a tough environment would back each other up, help each other out, help each other with kids

and family and stuff. And that's what you do. It used to be called neighbors. It used to be called community. And when you go to the Bible, the Bible talks about three types of love, agape, filet, and aero. Aero says erotic love between, you know, spouses.

Agape is like God's unlimited love for us. So much of us want to die for us. And then filet is exactly what he's talking about. That's where we get fill it off. Yeah. I don't understand why it is such a news flash that when people come together in community to really support each other,

whether you both love the Philadelphia Eagles and you go to ball games together, or you both have teenage kids and you're getting through that together, or you're supporting each other, one person gets laid off, you're helping them out, fine jobs. I don't understand why it's such a news flash

that what was once a core of America, knowing all your neighbor's names and being connected to them and supporting them is a headline now. And I think it's great that they're highlighting the long-term benefits that these two guys have had because if America will come back to this spirit of community, I think there'd be a lot of benefits to the psyche of people getting through recessions, COVID, and all these things, because you'd have more friends and more support. Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, I don't know what's going on with these two gay guys, Lou and Bobby, but these guys have been living together on six of you. Let's do that. I don't know. Lou Wilcox and Bobby. Look, back in the army, my friend,

Lieutenant Colonel, he got some of the guys. That was my guy. That was my friend, Lieutenant Colonel, he got some cars, my guy. That was my, I don't know what this will cox guy. But look, here's what I will say. Speaking of the three friends, I know that you got all biblical on friendships, Tom, I'm gonna, you know, bring it back to the real world and talk to you. That was only one of my points.

If you were in the snow, I'm not arguing with you. I'm not arguing with you, Athos, pathos, and... Follatio. Follatio. So look, there's three types of friends. I like how they pointed this out. You have your work friends? Yeah.

You know, these are transactions. Hey, buddy, what's up? What's pandering to them? Then I would say that you have like your party friends. He's, hey, what's up? Well, how you doing? Let's go party, but these aren't like your best friends. And then you have the guys you can just sit on the couch

with and chill. Those are your buddies. I love what pit bull had to say. Is it because especially during COVID we all isolated. You weren't around your friends. You weren't around your people. And just because you have social media doesn't mean you're socializing. Yeah. Right?

You need to get out there and have friends. And there has been a massive decline in friendships. So I think in the 80s, people had five or six close friends. Today it's one or two at the most. Like there's a limited amount of friendships. People just are not socializing outside. And then everyone's so obsessed with having followers, but the opposite of followers is being a leader.

So get out there, make some friends, even if it's like these two 60-year-old men over here. I thought you were gonna say you have friends you smoke. Weedwood, Somi-Doo, Coke with Somi-Doo, drink alcohol with that. That's the direction you're going. For being from Miami, like there's... That's all the same crew.

That's the same... I got you. So there's loyal to between those. I got you. Okay. Now, I mean, listen, as crazy as it sounds, there was an article rob a couple of weeks ago. We never got to it. The whole lonely epidemic, if you remember that article, I think we were trying to comment on it

for a couple of weeks, we forgot about it. I obviously forgot about it, but it was a story about the fact that a lot of people are lonely nowadays, right? America has a lonely problem. Whatever the article was. Was it the article from Scott Galloway where it's like the most dangerous people were born? No, that wasn't the one.

There was another one. Lonely isolated. But by the way, it is true though, there are a lot of people that don't have friends. There is an element. Look, I remember I'm telling you, from even from the business standpoint, when I started PHP,

the beginning stages, oh my gosh, being introduced to a Vistage or a group of people would sit there and talk about problems of running a company, having kids, family, and then you're all of a sudden saying to yourself, man, I'm not the only person going through this. I thought I'm the only person because I have to battle with being alone. You think you're the only person that's going through this problem.

You think you're the only person that's facing the embarrassing, humiliating, break up, challenge, issues, struggle. And then eventually you're like, no, man, there's a lot of other people out there. You know, this whole concept of AA when it got started is other people have a similar issue like you as well, but collectively together, we can get through this and that system AA, a big part of it is faith base. Matter of fact, it is faith base,

has saved so many people's lives, right? Because you go on there and say, oh, you got a prompt, you got a prompt, that guy's a normal guy. That guy's an executive, that guy's a, wait, she's going through this. Are you kidding me? Wow, I am not alone.

So it's great to have these types of conversations, but I will say to you, go find a community. Everybody needs to be part of a community. God knows we need it. You can say something. And Adam, you killed it too with a social media because Pat, think about it. You, if you're home and you're one of these guys,

your phone, you can do, you can see everything, you could, you could have virtual this video game at your house. You literally have to make a conscience effort to go get the hell up and get the hell out. Just, just yesterday, bro, I don't mind woke up, I heard a band and people playing, I live by myself. I went to the, there's like a local farmer's market with a band and I met people and then I had people over for dinners that you have to get out. And I just want to say that I'm happy that I think you guys are my perfect friends. Thank you Appreciate that I'll add one last thing because I know we gotta go see Billy Boat. I love you Tom

It's so easy to just not leave your house these days. It is so easy There's never in the history of the humanity have you never had to leave your house You don't need to go get a girlfriend, just watch porn online. You don't need to have friends, just to just communicate with your friends on TikTok and on Instagram. You don't need to go shopping, just do an Instagram, go to Amazon.

You don't have no reason to leave your house, unless you actually wanna be a real human being. Like one of the things I love about Pat is you had your boy, Manny, there at the vault, 21 years. You've had Felix in the office, whether it's Alpho or Steve or Armand, these guys even know for 20 years. This Sunday, I went to go see my buddies

that were having a fantasy football draft. I do not participate because it's a waste of time. I just hung out with these guys and ate chicken wings while they called me a Trump fan for two hours. I was like, yeah, I'm the Trump guy. Like, but the part of having friends is being able to bust balls, be a dude and like shoot the shit with your homies

Yep, and you can't do that online. No at all and it's horrible And I think about those those are the friends that you're supposed to sit and talk with and have go through your problem here People that don't have that they go to psychiatry they sit there and they talk to somebody. That's what your friends are for Do you want us to turn off the podcast and just please back the moment together? I don't know what's called friends and how many people have that? Do you actually remember the words of that song? Friends, how many of us have that? There you go, good. Okay, so let's go through a story of a company called Navidia.

Tom, I'm gonna come to you with this one here because I know you got a lot of thoughts on this and Vinnie, if you can get your reports ready, I'm waiting for you. I have charts. Vinnie, you got a TPS report, or another one. By the way, I think this is an excellent story

to get into, to transition into our next story. NVIDIA Crush's analyst expectation in second quarter, earning report. Their Q-turning report released on August 23rd reveals a remarkable, ready, 88% surge in revenue to $13.5 billion. Accompanied by an impressive 203% increase in net income, to $6.1 billion, their margins are 50%. Notably, data center revenue also sees substantial growth,

soaring to $141% compared to previous quarter, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, both, soaring to 140 by 141% compared to previous quarter, Jens Saint-Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, emphasizes the advent of a new computing era driven by accelerated computing and generative AI. He states the race is on to adopt. Generative AI, analysts from wet bush securities describe the results as pivotal moment for the tech sector

with ripple effects expected to impact the industry throughout the year Despite the outstanding performance in the video Nvidia Nvidia acknowledges supplying demand challenges for its AI chips demands suppress suppresses supply by 50% in concerns arise over possible Export restrictions to China Tom. What can you tell us about what these guys are doing? So here's what's going on. AI needs a power source. That power source is chips and the video makes more

and better chips for AI to anybody else. It's that simple. This is like Intel. Do you remember all the ads used to see grown up pad? Intel inside, and you know, little robots dancing around, and the next generation, the 286, 386, the Pentium chip. That was the heyday for Intel,

because Intel had the technology powering this thing called the personal computer. Ninvidia is powering this thing called AI, and they're a leader like Intel was. Remember when Microsoft was on a roll and every time they had an earnings report, they would crush it again, including a time when a reporter saw a bomber and gates

walking to the elevator on the backside of a conference area. Just like the elevators you use for security, Pat. And they were high-fiving each other because they had just convinced the analysts that their quarter wasn't gonna be as good as it was gonna be. And the analysts had kept raising the estimates, and their job was to keep the estimates lower. Oh, you're going to grow 50%.

I don't really think it's like 30%, 35%. I don't know. It could be cloudy tomorrow. And they were doing everything they could. So Microsoft had a Tade. Intel had a Tade. Now we've moved from the WinTel standard for laptops. We've moved into cloud computing and AI chips.

And NVIDIA is the intel of the future for AI. And that's for people listening. That's the way you look at it. And so they are crushing it. And this is their runs at the top. So if you look at the stock, if you look at this closely, which is obviously very impressive, these guys went from, zoom in a little bit by the way, check this out, from 2019, they're at, you know, whatever, $20, $30, whatever the number is, and then they go up to 141, then

they go up and then they have a drop off after COVID, you know, big hit, and a boom, not the rack up to $494, right? These guys went from, you know, I think it was a gaming company at one point to semi-conductors to now pay eye. So the whole idea about business is only the paranoid survive, but also the ones that are able to make the right pivots in business are also able to survive. They made the right pivots, many companies didn't make the right pivots. By the way, this doesn't just apply for some of you guys that are watching the same. Well, I'm not running a billion dollar company. I'm doing this. Look, when it comes on to content,

you have to make the right pivot. Some don't. They're done. There used to be a lot of people you've watched content. If you could go look at your history, I don't know if you can. From the content you consumed four years ago, to three years ago, to five years ago, to 10 years ago,

a lot of those guys are gone. A lot of those guys you're not following anymore. Some people in content didn't make the right pivot. The same happens with business, the same happens with marriage, the same happens with parenting, the same happens with your health. And these guys get credit for making the right pivots. And now the 6.1 billion Tom on 50% margins, they're pretty much cash in like they're they're a bank right now printing money the way they're growing. Oh, absolutely. And it's again, we've seen this before, but what they did was for people because they're pretty much cash in, like they're a bank right now printing money the way they're growing. Absolutely. And again, we've seen this before, but what they did was for people that were paying attention,

what was going on in video game? So everyone that saw Madden football getting more realistic and more realistic and more realistic. Can you remember this? Who's a gamer in here? It's my me. I'm a quality duty and I play it. Okay. Well, to have Madden football. The players got more

lifelike, more lifelike and then the rain and then the textures and then everything about the game. That's why they call it e-sports. It's in the game. If it's in the game on the field, we want to bring it into the PlayStation and the Game Boy and the Xbox 360. So NymVIDia chips in there have been applying. These were called physics engines and all the dynamic engines that were inside video games to project the bounce of the ball according to how you're playing it. Not a movie, but according to what's happening. And NymVIDia's chips have been on this march

toward what they have today. So what started in video games with AI and everything else, they didn't just come out of the garage and say, oh, look what I just invented. This is a company that is an overnight sensation 12 years into making. I'll add one thing and this is basically shout out to the Vault event and PPD, but one of my favorite parts of the of the entire vault is when you do the case studies. And there was an entire what like half hour long case study debate argument, state your case, what're gonna do and everyone in the audience had the opportunity to say what they would do to Implement AI in the company and man he had an answer and yeah

Other guy an answer and a shot had an answer and it was going back and forth But that my friends kind of the reason we do this podcast is that's's where you find common ground, that's where you find the answer. So I don't know if you saw that Eric Schmidt, who was the former CEO of Google, obviously, they're involved in the AI game, was just on my boys show for Reed Zakaria, and he was pointing out basically all the pros, the cons of essentially AI. I think that's what we're in need of right now. Is there so many questions around AI? Nobody knows, is it good? Is it bad?

Is it gonna change the world? Are robots gonna take over? I think we need more conversations and more specifically debates around AI. Rob, how are we looking, Rob? Good, we're just sound checking and video checking. Okay, sounds good. Why don't we just get AI on the kitchen?

So let's do one story and then we'll go to that. So jute Google AI chief warns genetic engineering could bring deadliest pandemics ever. Interesting story. Mustafa Soleiman, Google's AI chief sounds the alarm about a major global threat, a super pandemic resulting from genetic engineering. He warns that within the next decade, it could become commonplace for individuals to create more lethal pandemics from home, stating a kid in Russia could download the instruction set

for pandemic. So, Leimon underscores the urgency of containment and access control saying, we have to limit access to the tools and a know-how. So, Leimon stresses the ability, the accessibility of advanced AI technology, noting its increasing affordability and availability. He highlights the potential risks including cheating on exams, crafting viruses with worldwide impact, driven by the open nature of the technology to address these concerns, the advocates for an international,

treaty involving not just allies, but also perceived adversaries like China and Russia stating We all have a shared interest in advancing the collective health and well-being Tom So I got two sides to this the first side of this is maybe the guys right the second side to this is maybe Google wants to be the biggest defense contractor in the AI world and they're like we need a shared Interest and a global treaty and limit access to everybody else except us so that we can dominate the space. So I think I read this story and my skepticism goes right down the middle.

Maybe he's right, but on the other side, you know what, maybe he's just trying to carve out a place for Google and he's using scare tactics to do it because limit the access, he's not talking about himself and international treaty, he's not talking about being left out. It's kind of like saying, so listen guys, you can trust us because we're responsible, we're not gonna do anything,

we have to be careful with the other people because at Google we have your best interest in mind. Even though we control Google, YouTube a lot of different companies, we know what's right for you. Is that kind of what you're into interpretation? Exactly right. From the company who originals charter on the wall

when there is only six employees that got out of that garage in Silicon Valley, don't be evil. It was one of their tenants. Remember that? Yes, I do. And they've been embarrassed by that being waived in their face how many million times, literally millions of times by pundits and observers who think that they have done

evil in so many ways. You think that's Larry and Sergei? They've been accused of evil, is that what you're saying? Go read the articles, the buck stop somewhere. Why read the articles? I got the biz doc right here, the dance box. I mean, the point is, look what they've done, the manipulation of YouTube. Look what they've done, a manipulation of ad sense.

Somewhere, some place in there, they've said, okay, for the profit mode of, we're going to do this, this we're going to do, this we're going to do there. Government called, governments on the phone, they're a big contractor of the Google data center. They'd like these four people to be taken off of YouTube and because they're talking about vaccines. Okay, I'll bear it back. Let's see what happens there. But I know that's the whole evil line.

We have Billy Bush here with us. His newest book, Family Reigns, the Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American dynasty available on Amazon Roblets. Make sure we put the link in chat as well as the description. He's the founder, the Bush family brewing and distilling company and heir to Anheuser Bush's multi-billion dollar fortune

He's a proud father of seven children and stars with his wife in the MTV reality series the Bush family brewed a graduate of St. Louis University He played professional polo winning the US open polo tournament. He and his wife Christie a film producer and head of Bush productions Live on their 700 acre state in St. Louis, Missouri. Billy, thank you for taking the time for being on the podcast. That's a pleasure, Patrick. Thank you for having me on. Yes, so Billy, you know what's interesting? Just a couple of weeks ago, Tom and I were at the UFC event with Dana White and Dana

introduces us to the CEO of Anheuser Bush,ush, Brandon Wittworth, which by the way, he seemed like a friendly guy. We had a good conversation together with him. And I asked them the question that I want to ask you to see what perspective you have. As an operator myself running a company, you know, you got a lot of direct reports. You'll have the CMO reports to you. You'll have the CFO reports to you. You'll have your chief compliance officer, different businesses have different chiefs, but you'll have the CFO reports to you, you'll have your chief compliance officer, different businesses have different chiefs, but you'll have all these chiefs that will report to you.

Sometimes you'll have chiefs reporting to other chiefs, but how does the, when a decision is made by this Alissa, a high, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a last name, when she decides the VP of marketing to send these beers to Dillem Mourveni, and Dillem Mourveni takes it, and all of a sudden, it's cost at this point, I don't know the exact number, I'm not saying. No, no, it's a lot of money that they've lost every week and number changes because they haven't fully recovered yet. Billy, for you, obviously your background will go into the company, but a decision like that

being made, who has to give the approval for that to go? So meaning is it more of a CEO responsibility, the CMO, or is the CMO empowering the VP of marketing to say, look, let's get the product out that markets were not in. How does that work out? Well, I remember back in the old days that nothing went out until the CEO approved of it. And, you know, I am after writing the book Family Reigns Extraordinary Rising Epic Fall

of an American Dynasty, I am more close to my ancestors and the people that ran out, and Highsr Bush, than I've've ever been and I understand it much better these days. And I just see that, you know, that kind of marketing, nothing would go by the CEO without their approval. And I even remember going to my father, Gussie Bush, August Bush, Jr., he was the fourth leader of an hyzer bush and going to conventions and wholesaler meetings, things like that. And seeing the hymns show the wholesalers and the people at the conventions, what

the upcoming ads we're going to look like before they ever aired them. And so they had the ability to weigh in on the ads. So, you know, I just don't know how something like that would have slipped through the cracks with Brandon at Aniser Bush in bed today. But, of course, it did and look what happened. Do you think he knew about it and he approved it or do you think it happened without him knowing about it? I think he had to have known about a Patrick. I don't think anything happens to that magnitude without the CEO knowing about it. Okay, so let's say he did know about it. This is a guy that's a former CIA guy. He's a sharp guy.

He's not like a lightweight. He went to Harvard, I believe. I think he's military background. He's a decorated guy. So he's got the military side. He's got the paranoid side of being in a military and CIA where you always skeptical and wonder on people's motives are.

You've gone to Harvard, so you've got a little bit of the business background. You've done a ton of case studies. What would make him with the background that he has say, I think it's a good idea to send Dylan Mulvaney, you know, some Bud lights, and let's put Dylan's logo on it and he's going to probably end up

liking it and it's going to get us into a market. We're not knowing who his audience is is not that. Well, I got to tell you, he's a CIA guy and has been working in that branch and doing things like that. Maybe he doesn't

understand the beer business that well. Maybe he doesn't really understand who his audience is. But you know, as we've heard today, you know, the CIA are very left. They're doing everything to help this administration succeed right now in the Biden administration. They're working against conservatives. And we, as we know, this is a very woke agenda that we're seeing with the CIA. So if he is part of that agenda, then it's obvious why he went with an ad like that. I'd follow up with this and in time, I'm going to turn it over to you. I know you got a couple of questions for him as well. So, so for me, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt because when I spoke to him,

Dana spoke very highly of him. And when I'm talking to this guy, he seems like a reasonable guy. He doesn't seem like somebody that doesn't know what they're doing. We had a good 10, 15 minute conversation together. So, how much of it Billy could be the fact that nowadays, with ESG people are concerned about their scores

and you're looking at these three companies that are pretty much controlling the marketplace through institutional investing. I'm talking the Vanguard State Street, Black Rock, the Larry Finks of the World. So they're going out there and investing into these companies and you have to create a certain guideline and you got to have this DEI score and this CEI score. So there's so much pressure to have that to get on the right scoring. So S&P doesn't downgrade your ESG score.

Of course, nowadays S&P saying, we're no longer looking at the ESG. How much you think was that versus how much you think he said, I think this is a brilliant idea. Let's do it. Well, I think I think that absolutely weighs into a blackstone and vanguard and the other company are part of and how much control they have over these companies today and what

and their their agendas that they're pushing. And it's really sad to see because if you listen to them, obviously they don't know the beer business. They don't know even like Disney Disney. They don't know the theme park business. And I do believe that they have something to do with pushing these kind of woke agendas on these companies. And, you know, does it take a really strong CEO to say no, we're not going to do that. That's not what our audience is all about. Our blood-like drinker does not want a transgender on their beer can. It's too political. It's been politicized over and over again with men competing in women's force and all these things going on today. So, when my family ran the company and it's in the book, they would never get political in that way because they didn't want to alienate 50% of the population in America.

And that's what these guys did. And you know, my family was very much like Brandon. I don't know the CEO of Anisor Bush now, but they were all, you know, my dad was a colonel in the army during World War II. My great grandfather even was a corporal during the Civil War for the Union Army. And so they all know about the military. They were all very much American, but, you know, they would never politicize their ads. They love this country for what it stood for. They believed in freedom. They believed in, of course, the rights to big transgenders and gays and who, and everyone out there, as long as you weren't hurting anybody, that's what this country's built on. But to get into these kinds of advertising just doesn't make

sense. And honestly, Patrick, I don't know how they're going to come out of it. I really don't. I think their sales, or I know their sales are still way down. I don't think how they're going to come out of it. I really don't. I think their sales, or I know their sales are still way down. I don't think they're making much of a comeback at all. And whether they drink her back and make that America's beer again, which my family works so incredibly hard to build is yet to be seen. It's interesting. When I was in the Army, Hunter for Airborne,

all we drank was Bud Light. And I will tell you, some nights we drank 23, the record is 27, but let's keep that between us. Tom, you had some thoughts on this, go forward. You had some questions. Well, first of all, I'd like to say, as a young man, I lived a couple years in Creevecore, when my dad's job had us there,

and he and my mom took us to Grants Farm. And I remember going there, it was a wonderful experience. You felt tradition, you felt us there. And he and my mom took us to Grants Farm. And I remember going there was a wonderful experience, you know, you felt tradition, you felt family there. So thank you very much for your family having that wonderful essentially making it like a national park. But I see the tradition in that. And I'll see you're welcome. And I'll see the tradition in your heart. You're a brewer at heart and what you've just done with your own brewery and an entrepreneur at heart. You built one attempt, it didn't work out so well. And now you have another one where you've got two

of these Pills and Rebears out there, Gus A. and Adolphus, Intribute to your family members. And I look at that and I see the heart of an entrepreneur, I see a heart of the family. And I want to ask you a question. You know, C.Gate Technologies was taken private. They went back and took it private.

If you know about that company out in Silicon Valley storage. Michael Dell took Dell back private, took back control of it. You've made comments about Bud Light. Is there an opportunity here for maybe the family to take back? Because it was not an intentional thing. The family had sold its holdings and you were in a position that many companies are in where you could have these hostile takeovers. And ultimately, I guess they got the bid up to 71 and it was to a point where the shareholder

vote, nobody was going to vote against that because it was such a premium to purchase and as try as, you know, August the 4 tried, well, I think it was your nephew. You became an uncle when you were five years old, I think, as the story goes. Do you think about the opportunity here, like Seagate, like Dell, to take a run back and bring this back into the fold and show the American fan and customer,

multi-generation customer, that you're gonna take this back and you're gonna do something with it. Well, thank you for all your nice comments there. And you must have read the book, because everything you were saying, is in the book, I grew up on Grand's Farm and I'm glad you enjoyed it there.

And it was a wonderful place to grow up and had a great time. And I talk all about my experiences in the book, Family Reigns, so check it out. You guys are gonna love it. But yes, I will say that I do think it's gonna be a very difficult quest for Inbev now to get a Bud Light rolling again.

I just go back to history and I see the accomplishments at my grandfather, grandfather, father and his brother, how hard they worked, how much they loved the company, how much they loved their employees, how they understood America and their audience, how much they loved this country, and you could live the American dream here. And I think that's one of the reasons

I wrote the book today is because, you know, people forget how great this country is. And I wanted people to understand that where I came from and that is you can make it. If you work hard and you have a dream and you have the faith and you have the determination, you can make it in this country. You can do things you've got a really really good chance to do it anyway. And so I never worked directly at anizer bush I didn't have that opportunity and if you go back in the book again you can see why I wouldn't have had that opportunity. But I did work at two distributors ships and you know delivering beer to the customers, to the bars, and the restaurants, and the grocery stores, and liquor stores and what have you,

all the different convenience stores, of course. And I got to know the people, I got to understand the industry and that. I was also, also grew up on the entertainment side of the business, a grants farm, keeping the place beautiful and maintained for guests. It would have come the seven months of the year, a grants farm, keeping the place beautiful and maintained for guests. It would come the seven months of the year we were open. And then like he said, I had my own company, the William K. Bush Brewing Company with my family. And you know, we made a heck of a college

try and making a goal with that company. It didn't work out. So we've trying to change the model now with the Bush family brewing into stilling company, inviting people out to our farm to enjoy the history and the beer and the beautiful farm atmosphere and great food. And I think in order for to get to your question, I think in order for Inbev to turn things around, they're going to have to do something drastic with the Bud Light brand. And to make it the iconic brand that my family built is going to be very difficult for them to do it in the situation that they're in. And I am serious as can be if they were ever willing to spin off the Bud Light brand or the Bud Weiser family brands, I would be more than happy to buy

them. I would be the first in line. I think bringing them back in the Bush family would not only be a win for the Bush family, but it would also be a win for America. It would be a win for in-beth. That would be very interesting, Adam. Billy, question for you. I want to hear how you would make Bud Light great again. So, you know, growing up in the 90s, we all remember the commercials. They were iconic. Was he gone? Okay, there he is. You know, what's up? Or, you know, until the real American heroes, we salute you and all this and then used to have the Bud versus Bud Light super bowl things like the frogs. Everything. It was awesome. The commercials were amazing,

right? Fast forward sign of the times today. You got Dylan Dylan fricking Mulvaney as your spokesperson and Vinnie He's like, oh, they I think they lost a billion dollars tried 27 billion dollars, sir. Not your fault. I get it But you know, I saw you on Tommy Lauren her podcast and You were like look, I just think they're out of touch. They're based in Brazil in Bev You told this awesome story, but I think it was your grandfather, even 90 years old, getting in a truck, meeting the guys, or running bars. Just like, you know, like a politician would get out there shaking hands, kissing babies,

like selling your beer, selling your brand. And I just think there's a lot of things that are out of touch, you know, shout out to Holland Oats right there. You know, fast forward to today, there's a video of our friend Tom, which is asked your question. Pat offered him a beer, he's like, I won't even touch it.

Like, won't even touch it. Then you got Kid Rock literally assassinating Bud Lights. It's like, it's gone so extreme. So if you were to buy it back, you know, right now, Modello is the number one beer in America, freakin' Mexican beer, I think, in Bev Owensen as well. So how would you actually make Bud Light great again? You know, I would get out there on the street.

I would meet with the bar owners and the managers of the different accounts that we sell the beer into, like I have been for the last several years, 10 years, with the former company. And when I did it with the Budweiser distributorships, get out there, meet people I would have. Everybody that worked for me, including the marketing company, get on a truck, deliver beer, understand who their customer is. Get out there, get involved so that they know who they're marketing to. I don't think in Beb, I think, you know,

unfortunately for them, they're not an American company, like you said Patrick, and they don't understand the American customer, the audience, the drinks, but like they haven't been out there selling the beer, like I was telling Tommy, you know, how my father's still at 90 years old would go into a bar, buy people beers and let them shake hands and that's the way to do it. And it comes down to the old-fashioned way of marketing the product. You know, there's all kinds of ways to market today.

There's so many different channels, but basically my family always lived by the statement making friends as our business. You got to get out there, you got to get it, it mucks the people because that's what beer drinking is all about, right? It's all about bringing people together, being social, inclusive, and having a great time. And that's what the campaigns and history have been about. Also, the quality of the beer, the strength of the beer with the eight horse hits, the Clydesdale's, was something that was huge for Anna Heiserbush.

And you know, that's the kind of way I would go about it again to really get to make Bud Light and the Budweiser brands America's beer once again. What would you say to Dylan Mulvaney if he was at the bar just sitting there drinking a Bud Light? Would you have anything to say to Dylan Mulvaney? I would say, let me buy you one Dylan Bud Listen. I'm not going to use you as an influencer on our marketing ads, you know, more power to you. Please, I'm glad you love Bud Light. You know, please enjoy it with your friends and your family. And I don't think he actually loves Bud Light.

I think he's sipping on Rose or some sort of Zinfandel. All right. Let's let's talk. If you have final thoughts, we have one last question. I would, you know, I, you know, I want you to read that there were 10 iconic brands in America and I'm not going to remember all of them, but it was co- Carly Davidson, Ford Budweiser and Chevrolet, I think, was on the list. And I think in many ways that the family brought it back

at a time where I think American need unity and maybe a return to some of the great iconic brands of it. I'd love to see this come back to the family and so you do something strong with it. Awesome. Awesome, thank you, Tom. I want to finish with a legendary quote by Dolphus Bush. I think we have to finish it the right way.

He once said, you can only drink 30 or 40 glasses of beer a day no matter how rich you are. So we never got there. It was the goal. 23s are number billy again. Thank you for coming out folks watching this. Rob, let's make sure we put the link below to his book that just came out.

Family reigns the extraordinary rise and the epic fall of an American dynasty. folks watching this, Rob, let's make sure we put the link below to his book that just came out. Family reigns the extraordinary rise and the epic fall of an American dynasty. Thank you, Billy. That was fantastic. Great to have him on. I think we lost him, but Billy, if you're listening, thank you for coming on. Really enjoyed it. Interesting to see what's going on.

My whole thing is, if you're running a company that's always known for having the best commercials you do, I mean, when you're going back company that's always known for having the best commercials you do I mean when you're going back and telling those stories, but why is Er, you know, it was I was I you know when you think about that To go to this there has to be a set of non-negotiables as the CEO to say Anything we're going to do that's against this our core brand you need approval And for it to happen without that is kind of weird. And if you did approve it and you did send it out and you're paying the price for it,

you cost a company a lot of money, not a little bit of money. I wonder what the girls working right now, the one that, what do you think about it? The one that is apparently didn't get fired and you can't say, shouldn't fired, shouldn't fired, 27 billion dollars. Let's talk about Oprah and Rock.

So Oprah and Rock decided to come out with a message to say they have the right way, the way to be trusted to give money to, and if you give money through them, it will definitely be a good decision to help out to people in Maui. Vinny, you have some thoughts to say with this video. It's all over the place. A lot of people are happy that they did this call on them.

No, but a lot of people are not happy about it. What are your thoughts? Okay, so, oh yeah, first, they made a video asking the average Joe from money. And I get Pat, I give, I know, you know, we go to the same church. I donate, I give, I give the family, I give the friends, but it's pretty crazy. One of the facts that we saw, that was a great sound, by the way. Yeah, that was a bug light right there. It's a watermelon.

You had too many of them. Yeah, these people, oh, it feels great. These people, the mother, between her and the rock, Pat, guess how rich they are. Just if you have to guess on the book three and a half billion. Exactly. You nailed it.

And from the stats that we showed on one of the first stories, the average American, especially like low income Pat, it's up what paycheck to paycheck, 78% from 76%. We're struggling, but she's so concerned. If she's so concerned, Pat, about these fires and these people, why did she hire a private firefighting team to protect her land before this all went down, right? And instead, Oprah just got what, 2000 acres of land? Oprah, if you're so concerned, why don't you give up some of that land for some of these displaced people so they can stay because these people have nothing, they're struggling right now. So why don't you put your money where your mouth is.

She hasn't mentioned, Pat, that she bought all this land for pennies on the dollar. And I think it's just how out of touch I don't think this is genuine Genuine and I want to give some facts just about mommy really Maui the government leaders They did want to make it people were saying it's a conspiracy. They wanted to make this a smart city But the locals didn't want to sell they're like no this is our land This is we don't want to sell it all of a sudden this fire They're like, no, this is our land. We don't want to sell it.

All of a sudden this fire comes out, right? And all these stories from the ground from actual residents, police blockaded people with 18 wheelers and patrol cars passed so they couldn't get to the land. The government shut off the water. They canceled school and out of 3000 missing pass, 1000 children have been accounted for.

There are still 2000 children. and this is a fact. I'm not making this as an conspiracy theorist that they're missing nobody's talking about it. The police chief, and I know we talked about it, is the same police chief that was in Vegas during the Vegas massacre. He appointed himself the corner. So you mean to tell me that guy is the only person

that could see the bodies and make a determination of the cause of death It's like this keeps piling up, right? And all of a sudden, yeah, Zuckerberg, Oprah, all these people buying all this land and then as a military veteran pat There's a military base 15 minutes away. They weren't there until a week a week and a half It's just none of it is adding up. And the FEMA holding back water and everything like that. And I cannot tell you how many videos I'm seeing that you're not gonna see on social media. You're not, I mean, you're not gonna see on Facebook,

on CNN and all this stuff. Only on X, only on Twitter. The people are flipping, losing their minds. They all are, they're like, something is up. We can't get to our land. Everything is fenced off. We're getting phone calls from people saying, well, we'll buy your land.

They basically, that's why I'm saying, the Oprah and the Rock rope, if you watch this, it doesn't feel genuine. I don't feel it. Something is going, something is up. And I played the first 30 seconds. Let's just see what. Maui, that we were texting back and forth. And so we have created the people's fund of Maui that will put money directly in the hands

of the people who need it right now. So if you send a donation, just click where you see below and send a donation, that money is going to go to one of many residents who have been displaced in Maui. We guarantee. That's right. I know a lot of people out there as Oprah and I have been finding are just having a hard time trusting where the money goes.

What organization said I sent money to? How can I help? I'm not paying this case. Can I say something to that? Yeah. They're asking the average American that can't pay rent, living paycheck to paycheck. How about this, Oprah?

Why don't you ask Biden or the government? Hey, could we have one billion of the 200 million we sent to Ukraine and just give it to them? How about right now, I want one billion, I want one billion dollars back and give it back to them. Packers, apparently I heard something tour, there's money that they, she put in money and he put in money, it's going to be their own.

They both put in money. They both put in money, but there's a loophole or something where that money's going to their, like the organization, it's not even coming out of their pocket. It's like, if you want, can you verify that because to me that money's going to their, like, the organization. It's not even coming out of their pocket. It's like, if you want. Can you verify that because to me, if they're putting their own money, and then they're also racing money, I think it's, you know, you're at least doing something with it, right?

Now, I mean, you know, is it enough money to do anything more here? Let's just see what it's saying. Oprah and Rock angered some fans by asking them to give Maui their own donations was less than half a percent their total wealth. Can you go a little lower, half a percent their total wealth? So half a percent is what, three and a half billion.

One percent would be 35 million. So half would be 17 and a half million. So I see what you're saying. So that's kind of how they're calc, so the fans are going to donate more than $10 million. But do you feel me pat? This message is for the average American. Why don't you go after the people that have all the money?

I mean, here's the thing about giving money, man. You can never give enough money. Never. When you do give any kind of money, it's never enough. If you give a million, they say, why don't you give two million? If you give two million, they'll say, why don't you give five million? So to that part, I totally

understand where they're coming from. I didn't know they're not, they're giving money. I thought they're not giving money. If they're giving ten million dollars as well from their own money to Maui, you know, respected them. To the other stuff, the fact that that one girl that went viral with the video, tell us why you hired a firefighters before the fire even took place. How did you know to do that? That's the stuff that we don't know that needs to be investigated. All the other stuff, you know,

they wanna bring your awareness. No, listen, eventually what happens to a lot of people they give money, they wanna give anonymously and they don't even wanna be involved. They're like, dude, I don't wanna give it. I'll give something, but just please don't tell anybody because I know no matter what I give,

we'll never be enough. No matter what I give, we'll never be enough. So go for it. And at what point does coincidence and conspiracy, like where are we at? Because if I, I, I, the, Google the definition coincidence is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without

apparent casual happenings. But conspiracy is a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful. We get looked upon as these crazy conspiracy theorists, is it so crazy to see that these people are making or they're doing something on purpose? How many mistakes had to happen? Is it gross negligence, Pat? Or was it set up for them to lose all those land? These are two different issues.

I'm very skeptical what happened on Maui. I'm very skeptical what the politicians did locally. I'm very skeptical why they didn't give the water. I'm very skeptical why it looks like it doesn't look like fire. It looks like it's completely something else with the dogs like looking the way they did. I'm very skeptical why certain houses didn't catch on fire within the community of Maine. I'm very skeptical of that. Yes.

There could be two different issues within the same event. I'm super skeptical about why the guy from Vegas shooting Mandalay Bay is the guy that's working on and now's the core. Assigns himself. That kind of stuff, super skeptical. This kind of stuff, you're giving money, it's not enough, you know, get in line. Everybody, no matter how much you ever give, to anyone, they're always gonna say, that's not enough, that's not enough, that's not enough.

So until we find out more, if they're given 10 million bucks more power to them, can they give more, I'm sure they can. They don't have to steer money, they work hard for it. They're giving a lot more than the government is right now. Way more than the government is right now. Way more than the government is right now. Government is giving $700 for the family. So good for those guys. Okay.

All right. So let's go on to a couple other stories here. So, which one do we want to go to? Do we want to do Trump? We haven't had any politics. Which one do you want to go to? Tom's got some thoughts on this with Super PAC. Okay.

So two things. So the same test team denies Trump's rumor that he'll drop out of the presidential race to run for Senate. This was a week ago on August 28, it's on page seven. I'll read two stories simultaneously. Then time I'm going to give it to you. So the Santas spokesperson Brian Griffin strongly refuted Trump's claim on truth social that the Santas could abandon

the presidential race for Senate run. St. on Twitter that it's fake news and suggesting Trump's army of consultants was anxious about the Santas' debate success. Trump, using the moniker, run the sanctimonious for the Santas propaganda, propagated the notion that rumors are strong on political circles about the Santas' potential dropping out of the race. To V for Senate Rick Scott, Senate seat, despite the centrist's recent polling setbacks,

and Emerson Poll post-debate unveiled a 50% support rate for Trump among GOP voters, a 6% dip from previous poll, whereas the centrist gained two points, railing Trump at 50% to 12, and then the centrist super PACS urgent plea to donors we need 50 million dollars as a new your time story randas and to super pack never back down led by strategist jeff roe urgently six fifty million dollars from donors ahead

of the second gop debate on september twenty seven we need to do this now we're making a move now the day after labor day we're launching and we need your help to stay up and go hard uh... the rest of the way we need fifty million bucks, row emphasizes the need for 5 million monthly to sustain IO operations, separating separate from rivals and B Donald J Trump in the next 60 days. We need to be Trump in the next 60 days and separate from all his other rivals.

We need 5 million, okay, same thing said twice, okay, go ahead Tom, thoughts on this. So let me split this for you. When you hear that the super PAC packs are behind in their support, that means you're losing your big donors. Because the way the game is played, you go out and trade these super packs. Because super packs are unlimited. If you wanted to give anything now as a citizen, you can only give $3,300 as an individual.

Your wife could also give $3,300. Your children. Your wife could also give $3,300. Your children could even on their own, give $3,300. But that's it. Beyond that, you have to give money into the Super PACs. And the Super Max go to the billionaires, and we've heard the stories about this billionaires who trumped these two billionaires are with DeSantis. And for them to be going out and saying,

we need 5 million a month to sustain Iowa, and we need 50 million right now, is a incredibly bad sign because the super pack money is usually locked in early. You have who your supporters going to be. We've heard Larry Ellison looking to get behind one of them. You've heard the list. This is not good. With this leak, the camp does not want this leak to come out. Citizens are giving up to $3,300, usually $25, $50, something like that. This is a really bad sign for the campaign, which means that they super PACs are losing the support of the big donors. And the big donors after the debate and

looking at the polls are saying, maybe I'm going to hold the big money back because maybe this isn't the guy that's going to challenge. Wow. Wow. Interesting. That's my conclusion here. By the way, it's a lot of people's conclusions. It's like, if you were behind them and just put money in the super pack, let me ask you

Pat, if you were in super pack and we won't say to Santa's, we'll just say it was a candidate and you're looking at this kind of, hey, the debate did not give him a 10 point pop and he's suffering an erosion in certain groups. What does that make you think? You know, hey, I've been to the party, I've given some, but I'm not gonna chase it. I'm gonna wait for you to see if you can really go get Iowa.

And he's saying, I need five million a month between now and February to get Iowa. If you follow the trends and the stats and the polls, I mean, what, earlier this year, they were neck and neck and constantly say this. It's like they were neck and neck and due to failed marketing. And a rest and a rest and indictment. It's turned into a blowout. So, you know, it's typical Trump fashion.

Hey, Harry's dropping out of the race. Hey, Harry's going to be a center. There may or may not be any truth to that whatsoever. But believe me, Trump will pounce on the opportunity to market that story. But what do you expect the Santas' people to do? We've met his spokesperson, Brian Griffin, not the dog from Family Guy, his spokesperson.

He's going to hold the fort and say, no, we're not dropping out of the race. But look, at some point, the writing's gonna be on the wall. You were neck and neck. And now our guy, Vivek, is passing you up. You were neck and neck. And now it's all about Vivek. There you go.

A neck and neck, now, little bit. And I think as to kind of give a bigger picture to this, as more of these, the stats show and the poll show, as more and more indictments come down the pike. It's just codifying his firm grip on the Republican party. The biggest challenge Trump's going to have is pivoting in the general election. We get it. He's got the Republican nomination on lock his closest opponents, DeSantis and Ramaswami are nowhere to be found, especially in the polls. So you're saying that little, what was the path?

We talked about yesterday, the independent time, that vote in the middle that you were talking about, and like the African American support is shifting towards Trump. I forgot that, that went down from, yeah, it's not just, yeah, all I'm seeing is people like, you know what, we're tired of, you know, the government it ain't, it's not just, yeah. All I'm seeing is people like, you know what, we're tired of, you know, the government, you know, doing this and doing that and the support is shifting. Well, watch this here from Axios.

Okay, Trump world sees Haley surging towards DeSantis. And according to this poll in Iowa, Fabrizio Pol depicted Trump leading with 44% DeSantis at 18, Haley at 10. And then as a Rumbuswani and Tim Scott tied at seven in New Hampshire, Trump led with 48% the Santas 11%, Haley and Rambuswani at nine. Again, that's 2% and Scott tied with former New Jersey

governor Christie at 5%. So they keep talking about this, whether he's getting closer or not. And this is leading to the biggest question, Trump supporters pressure him to debate the Santas. This is a newsweek article, a survey conducted between August 26th and 29th showed that while 61% of all GOP voters and 83% of Trump supporters

approved of his decision to skip the first debate, 57 of them now overall believe Trump should take part in the second debates to get scheduled on September 27th. I believe at the Ronald Reagan Library in Seamy Valley. Do you think Trump should show to the second debate time? How no? Still saying no. How no? Let these two JV guys battle it out. There's no like and what's the big no reason and what's this?

Yeah, let's hope that this debate is how many people on stage Whoever's still in the race Drop down by no, no, no, I think eight people. I think the rules are gonna drop the two governors. Yeah for sure No way, I'm surprised So Hudson and my guy and Doug Burgham. That was my guy Burgham about the guy that's brain is I thought I'd never put the guy in that. The guy that's playing the second plane basketball with his A. I actually like this idea. They're gonna drop. And then also it looks like Tim Scott may be on the edge of qualifying. And he and loser.

Well, he may not decide to drop, but he may not be able to be on his pitch. And so that's I just want to see Trump, Pence, Christie, DeSantis, Vivek, Nikki Haley. Everyone else get out of that. I think Trump, because Pat, when we were there, we're like in that big, you know, it's like in a rean-atom. I just saw this big GOP thing in the middle. I just wish Trump would have just descended like

ad here and just fireworks and then not debate. Just leave like making entrance and then leaving up that. Here's my question though. Does the Democratic Party not debate at all? Are they not? They have no other. No, no, no. They have no other.

No, no, no. They have no other debate. Why is that? Because it's called the Northampton test for week in a burning. Correct. It's called non-contested primary. Oh, so nobody gets to even hear the threats. But here's the thing.

It like right now, if you look at the store, so Tom, you think Trump should show up second one or no? No, I don't think he should show up. Don't because only thing that happens if he shows up is he gets picked on. I think he should let the crowd continually to hit themselves because it is a fact. Everybody was screaming, well, Trump lost six points

in Iowa, true, but Haley took apparently four of her points, demonstrably, were taken from DeSantis supporters that moved over because they saw she made a strong case. I think he lets that continue to shake out. And I think in the Sanis campaign, I think the writing is on the wall, but with your backup against the wall, you can't see the writing. And I think that's around DeSantis. By the way, just refresh remember in 2020, did Trump do any debates against any Republican

contenders? I don't think so. I don't think Obama did it. I don't think it's very common. You're right. It's not the only thing that's different is the following. And I'll tell you what it is. There's this guy named Gavin Newsom. I don't know if you know him or not. Oh, Gavin Newsom. I shot a movie. He started on energy. On energy is a sign he's running for something Washington times is a September 3rd story. So governor Newsom is strongly signaling a presidential run likely in 2024 by 2020 a position himself as a more capable alternative to the current democratic ticket. Newsom shift away from the traditional environmental status as evident as he prioritizes ensuring

consistent electricity supply and avoiding surging energy caused, notably, he is advocating for increased natural gas storage at the Aliso Canyon facility, despite the history. It's history of a major methane leak in 2015. This move aligns with his focus on practical energy solutions over rigid ideological purity, new some strategic decisions, including expanding natural gas storage, and keeping the Diablo Canyon

nuclear plant operational underscore his commitment to maintaining energy to reliability and affordability for citizens' time. So what he's doing here is Gavin Newsom is still all about green energy, but right now the green energy is dollars and making it cost less for Californians. That's his green energy is dollars and making it cost less for Californians. That's his green energy program. So, Aliso Canyon has needed to be retrofit for a while and he wants to store gas there so if there's a shortage over the winter, then California doesn't have winners but they do have shortage points. And so, he also doesn't want Diablo Canyon to turn down

its megawatt output. And so, what he's saying is, yeah, look, I can't have the people in California have their price for energy go up because we have a shortage of energy. We're not going to have cold winters, we don't have heating oil, but you know what? I'm going to back off this whole green thing and I'm going to quietly do things so that we have energy storage in California for the benefit of the people and it's also anti-inflationary. Now, I happen to think that as a governor, he's putting the needs of the people first and trying to get them less expensive energy.

But it sort of flies in the face of going arm and arm with the green energy mob in Washington. So it's a bit too faced, but it's actually gonna be good for Californians so when I have little less inflation on their energy over the next nine months, but his motive is different. I think, look, you knock the energy part out of the park. I think he's just sort of waiting in the wings as an insurance plan.

God forbid Biden is not able to make it. And that's a, you know, very substantive possibility. Make it, make it in what sense though. You mean like just many heels over or falls on another flight of stairs? Correct. You really think you really believe that? Like he might not make it until next year. You want to bet that Joe Biden finishes his term?

Finit like finishes his term? Finit? Like, finishes his term. I think he's the president right now. How much do you want to bet he finishes his term? Fun. Another 500 bucks. You have a deal. You think he's going to die or something?

So let me flip it over. Do you understand what it means to finish your term? He's going to finish his term as president. He's not going to die. Oh, you mean, you mean go another four? No, no, no. Do you understand what he's the president now, Kenny? Yeah. You're saying four? Yeah. He has one more year left you understand what he's the president? Yeah, you're saying four.

Yeah, he has one more year left. Yeah, he's gonna finish it. Yeah, I know. Okay, why I'm better. You guys are saying the same thing. He has a stupid ad on what do you mean? So you're not I'm saying he will. He's like, okay, so this biographer says it's involved.

This biographer says brain function. It wouldn't be total shock if Biden drops out of the 2024 race. My concern is not Biden finishes this term. I have a bet by Renew Dell, Jake, you're Dell's dad, if you're listening, wait a bet in 2020, one of the first PBD podcasts, whether Biden would finish his term,

and it's not, I'm like, yeah, he's gonna finish his term. Of course. He might be old and sick and we can at Bernie's vibes, but they'll prop his ass up and he'll finish his term. So I have a thousand dollar bet with him. I think he'll finish. Aaron, can we get the Joe Biden's address

and send him a case of all the drinks please? Yeah, it goes. Now, the biggest concern should in fact be the second term. For all of those people out there saying that he has the mention, he's sick and he's falling downstairs. I hear you loud and clear. He's going to finish his term. The biggest concern. be true. All of them should be the second term because the last thing we need is Kamala Harris becoming president of the United States. Hillary Clinton

would flip the flip heart lid. If Kamala Harris or as Judge Joe Brown calls her, Kamala Harris became the first female president. I'm going to listen. Even when space, even, yeah, even when so big, even when Trump was in, like, I mean, you saw it. You saw pansy spoke a lot. Not too crazy, but like Kamala Harris, besides laughing, like, where's she? I haven't even seen her in like a month. Where is she, Tom? What are you doing? She's been busy delivering funeral wreaths around the world, which is where they send most vice presidents when they don't want them to be. Let me ask you guys back to the.

Good will tour to. To. Booker club, Yugoslavia. Yeah. Um, what's the word on their debate? Because I think news and was just doing this to make himself relevant. Stay in the fold. Keep his name out there. God forbid Biden can't run. on their debate, because I think Nusin was just doing this to make himself relevant, stay in the fold,

keep his name out there, God forbid Biden can't run 2024. You know, it's a bad look for DeSantis to debate Nusin. Tell me why. He elevates Nusin. What are you doing? Like what are you doing? What are you doing? You're running for president, he's not.

Why are you debating a person that's not running for president? What are you doing? Like what's your outcome? What are you doing? Like, what's your outcome? What are you doing? It's embarrassing. You shouldn't even do it. You shouldn't even agree to it.

It's actually a pompous and arrogant to say, yeah, we're gonna run because we feel we're the future anyways and you guys are old. It's a little bit disrespectful on the way, anyways. I don't want to get into that part. I did not like that positioning. While you're running for president, you do it now. If you do it, while nobody's running for president,

let's just say they did it in 2022, peak of COVID, 21. Right, I totally agree, do it. Yeah, yeah. Not right now, you're two years too late. Two years ago would have been a fantastic debate. The world would have watched, it would have been massive and would have helped the sentus out, by the way. If they would have done it two years ago. but right now there's no reason for them to.

No, by the way, can we just give a quick shout out to our good old friend Mitch McConnell, good to see that he's back functioning and not a, I don't know what is going on. Frozen, like what is going on with that guy? I don't know. I don't, because this is the second time, Pat, it's like the handlers that are around him. It's like, what, what, why, you just can't, you can't give up that power, right? Pat, guys, who's, who's, who's, how do you not know he's not meditating? Why, why, why do you not know he's not praying? Why do you, why do you undermine such a experience,

wise man? Maybe the entire time he's praying for every person that's representing their new station there. I think he's a living example person that's representing their new station there. I think he's a living example of a Zoom call with bad bandit. I think today I'm going to post a sketch on value-taming comedy of, well, look, it's positive right there of what he's looking at. It will be a little surprise to you, but he's, that look, he, looking, that he's looking up to like up here like, you're heavily fired like you pray for president Biden. This God is like your
