Look what I become Folks you missed it Adams here pitching some headshot guy to Vinny For Vinny to go take some new pictures and then Tom on the other side is getting pissed off because of something that happened to Him in the morning that he doesn't want to talk to you guys about a little bit sensitive He's emotional. We'll keep it here together. Who knows? Maybe some of the little princess shots will come out here today. But we got a lot of stuff going on, folks, that we got to talk about. There's some interesting things with 50 Cent. 50 Cent went to DC. Did he go to DC?

Starting point is 00:00:54 Capitol Hill. He goes to Capitol Hill. You should see what 50 Cent. What is he doing going to the White House, taking pictures with Speaker Johnson, with Boebert, with Nancy Pelosi, with everybody and then he was asked a question about some stuff about black votes and his answer is very, very interesting. Then this Spanish comedian made the mistake of going after a father and the father made sure to come back and pay a visit and let's just say this comedian wasn't expecting this from the father, and the father wasn't there to hear him laugh.

Starting point is 00:01:28 It was a different situation. You have to hear that as well. He canceled his teeth. He canceled his teeth. NVIDIA officially passed up Apple as the second largest company. They're officially a $3 trillion company. Tom just showed me this. We're going to talk about that and not only that

Starting point is 00:01:46 But you know there's seven companies seventeen companies now that are worth over a half a trillion dollars Exxon used to be number three back in a days now. It's 17. Can you imagine like oil business has fallen behind tech We'll talk about Nvidia Media scrambles for survival ahead of 2024. The number one issue for young Americans this election, not student loans, not abortion, not guns, ready folks? Housing is the number one issue for young Americans. We have one other story here from Newsweek.

Starting point is 00:02:22 RFK's juniors popularity has collapsed. Is that really what the case is or is Newsweek not happy about the fact that maybe he's taking some votes away from Biden? Who knows? We'll talk about it. I'm going with that. Americans are warned a terror threat, terror attack is likely after surge in threats. Putin has started wearing concealed body armor at public events.

Starting point is 00:02:47 And this next story is Israel reportedly used fake social media accounts to garner support from US lawmakers on Gaza war. Kind of weird. E-Trade possibly ousting GameStop bull, roaring kitty, spurs online backlash. We'll talk about that ex Twitter is now allowing porn on its platform, which means we just lost half our audience. That's why Tom was late. And by the way, I have to tell you guys a story about porn.

Starting point is 00:03:15 It's very important for you guys to hear it, and it has to do with Vinny. Oh God. But we have to talk about it. It's very important, very important, very important. Fine, fine. My favorite porn is on C-SPAN. Why this AI researcher thinks there's 99.9% chance that AI wipes us out. Very warm, exciting, positive story there,

Starting point is 00:03:34 but something that you ought to be thinking about if you're a business owner, and I'll give you some feedback here in a minute. Texas Group plans Stock Exchange to compete with New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Americans have more investments than ever before. The dollar is the strongest it's ever been since 1980s. planned stock exchange to compete with New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Americans have more investments than ever before. The dollar is the strongest it's ever been since 1980s.

Starting point is 00:03:49 Job openings plummet. A new report lowest since February of 2021. Beloved Mexican restaurant chain abruptly shuts down 48 restaurants. And if you used to have lunch with me back in 2002, 2003 in Encino, I was at this place three, four times a week and I'll tell you what it is. I can't say exactly what I ordered. I used to go there so many times. It was awesome.

Starting point is 00:04:12 Majority of middle class Americans say they struggle financially. Ready for this one, folks? Some realtors and loan officers maybe listen to this and getting excited, hoping that America follows Europe's lead. European Central Bank set to cut rates for the first time since 2019. And guess what Tom told me in the morning when I walked in? What? They officially lowered the rates this morning, but European Central Bank, not American Central

Starting point is 00:04:38 Bank. So this next story is an interesting one. America's commute to work is getting longer and longer. Biden's signals intention to address border crisis reduces asylum entries. And then last story here, which is very interesting. I mean, this is, this is like a story we have. It may be more important than anything else. Remote Amazon tribe finally connects to the internet only to wind up hooked on porn and social media. This is an actual story from the New York Post that will address- This is the Amazon in Brazil, not Amazon tribe of workers in Seattle.

Starting point is 00:05:12 Rob was all over this yesterday. By the way, can you imagine they're watching the podcast, hey, what's wrong with you? Leave us alone. Let us do what we want to do. Anyways, let me talk to some of you guys. You had a call yesterday with one of our guys that we consult for and his fear was, Pat, you know, what do you think about all this stuff that people are saying with AI and AI is going to take over the world and you know, AI is going to do this and AI is going to

Starting point is 00:05:34 do that and AI is going to replace all of us. Should I be worried? And I said, yes. He says, what do you mean yes? Pat, you're the person that thinks future looks bright. I said, you have to be worried if you're not finding ways to have AI work in your favor with your business. If you look at AI as the enemy, you're going to be destroyed in business, folks.

Starting point is 00:05:55 We had an event at Mar-a-Lago last month in April. And at the event, guess what everybody was talking about? The main conversation of how to have an advantage over your competitors is how some of these guys are using AI and people are saying, that's how you use it, yes. This is how you use it, yes. I never heard about that. I never heard about this. I never heard about that. Why am I saying this to you? If there's ever been a time for you to find ways to get better strategies to recreate yourself so you can take your business to the next level in 2024, 2025. This is the time because AI's speed of advancement is accelerating at a pace that most people are

Starting point is 00:06:31 not going to be able to follow unless if you're going out there getting these tactics and strategies from others. This is why once a year I host a conference called the Vault Conference and this year we're doing it at Palm Beach Convention Center for three and a half days. We go through a 200 page manual where you're filling in, you have case studies with other people, you're doing case studies with on different issues that people are going through today. You got nearly 10,000 people in the room for you to network with, business partnerships, contacts with from 60 plus countries, 180 different industries and we'll have this going on

Starting point is 00:07:02 at the vault conference in Palm Beach first week of September and I've invited Dwayne Johnson Dwayne Johnson will be there. This is the first time I'll be interviewing him publicly for 90 minutes Some may get a chance to meet him back backstage as well Our whole crew will be there we have a bunch of different surprises that we'll be making at the vault conference But if you're somebody that's watching this and you're you're saying wait a minute all these people are making more money than ever before watching this and you're saying, wait a minute, all these people are making more money than ever before? Why is wealth increasing for the wealthy more than it's increasing for middle and low income or maybe even upper class? Because they're getting the strategies and others are not. Because they're really realizing how to use the tools and others

Starting point is 00:07:36 are not leveraging it. My biggest challenge to you is, if you're married, you and your wife, last year we had hundreds of couples attend the event together. Bring your wife, bring your husband, bring your business partner. We've got a group of people that are competing to have 50, 100 people because we'll be recognizing people that have the most representation from their companies on stage. This is an event I'd love for you to attend. September, first week of September, Palm Beach. For those of you guys that have already bought your tickets, go to VTMerch.com on the homepage,

Starting point is 00:08:05 click on the vault conference event, get your hotels booked as well because they're selling out quickly. You don't want to be somebody that has to book a hotel 30 minutes away because all the other hotels were taken. So if you want to get involved, if you want to spend this time with us, go on VTMerch.com or Rob, the QR code if you can put the image up there so they can see it.

We have so many people that come back every single year because every year it's new challenges, new issues, new things that are going on in the marketplace and we always have something new going on. And I've got a handful of big announcements that I'll be making only to people there. And by the way, for those of you guys that have over 100 Manects you've done, as an executive, like you've done a Manect as an expert, 100 plus, we're going to have a private room for you guys that will be with the CEOs.

Starting point is 00:08:55 It'll be top-notch people you want to be networking with. Having said that, looking forward to seeing you guys all at the Vault Conference. Now let's get right into the stories. And I want to go into the first story, Tom. Why does AI researcher thinks that there's a 99.9% chance AI wipes us out? Okay, AI wipes us out. Let me read this story to you. Here we go.

Starting point is 00:09:18 And by the way, I was studying this one guy, and I'll tell you guys a couple quotes from him. Brandon, if you can send me the notes on the episode that we did yesterday, that'd be great. AI researcher Roman Yampolsky predicts 99.9% chance that AI will wipe out humanity within the next 100 years, emphasizing that no AI model has been completely safe from being manipulated. He pointed out, they already had made mistakes. I don't think there is a single large language model today which no one was successful at

Starting point is 00:09:44 making do something developers didn't intend it to do. Yampolsky discussed the need for a perpetual safety machine to control AI, warning that even well-managed AI like ChattGBT could self-modify and pose risks. He stressed with existential risk, you only get one chance in indicating the potential for AI to evolve unpredictably beyond human control. The risks of AI, according to Yampolsky, include everyone will die, everyone will suffer and wish they were dead or humans losing their purpose as AI takes over jobs and creativity.

Starting point is 00:10:17 Tom, what do you think about what he's saying here? Tom Hanks Well, this is the stuff of sci-fi if you remember and this goes back. Oh my goodness T2 when was t2 out at 25 27 years now Terminator 2. Yep. Remember the opening scene at 3 15 in the afternoon Skynet became sentient and so it's like the AI the the computer kind of 2015 so we're Terminator 2 2015. I think it's out before that. It was basically the computer becomes self-aware and then starts doing things to humans. What shocks me is that computers need

Starting point is 00:10:58 electricity and once you turn off electricity they stop doing things. I think what he's talking about here is is that in a hundred years when AI is running things like electricity and water supply and doing things like that that you know could AI decide it just wants to turn off well that would require the large language models kind of interpreting that humans are the problem. And so that's what he's saying. And I think this is sci-fi, but I think he's got a point. And I think there's also a safety point to talk about in here because where there's already

Starting point is 00:11:37 been a, remember the Google test that came up and actually the AI lied on purpose because it understood the difference between sarcasm and truth and it actually lied So I think there is or deceived in as a form of communication because remember LLM stands for large language model which is Basically translated in English as a shit ton of data and so all the language thumb, but keep going I'm sorry basically, they interpret these big stacks of data and then they use that data to Interpret and answer questions and do things for us

Starting point is 00:12:18 So what he's saying in a hundred years that it could be interpreting that humans are bad and deciding that you know It'll turn off. What do you stand with that? What do you stand with that? I think I'm not there I'm not there on that sci-fi end of it. I am there that the large language models and things cause can cause AI to deceive and AI can be deceived into giving deceptive answers if you feed it large language models that have bad data. Like you intentionally send BS into large language models and AI could come back with intentionally manipulated fake results. Got it, Adam, your thoughts.

Starting point is 00:13:04 So, we talk about the collapse of the financial systems Intentionally manipulated fake results got it Adam your thoughts so You know we talk about the the collapse of the financial Systems and the collapse of Wall Street and all these guys that basically make these predictions these sort of doomsday predictions, right? Like the one guy Harry Dent not to be confused with Harvey Dent Batman Yeah, what was the prediction that he made the stock market's gonna collapse 90% Yeah, what did the stock market do in 2023? It was up 25% Right, magnificent 7% Where's the accountability there guy? Robert Kiyosaki, dear friend. He's kind of a doomsday guy too in the stock market So there's some people out there that basically get headlines for making bold predictions. Maybe this guy is one of them. I don't know But I also Hear these rumors about AI.

Starting point is 00:13:48 We all do. Not an AI expert, but you know, they're saying like, I want to get ahead of this, you know, in preparation for some what could happen. I would like to get ahead of this. Imagine, you know, we hear about these commissions. We just had the conversation with Cuomo and Dave Smith. When Cuomo said we need a 911 type commission on what happened in COVID. We need to keep China accountable. It's always after the fact. The Warren Commission after JFK assassination, after the fact. The 9-11 commission after the fact.

Starting point is 00:14:17 Just a suggestion. Let's get a commission on AI before the fact, because if they do it after 99% of us all perish, there's gonna be no one there for the Commission. So I'd like to get ahead of this before anything. So I got something I want you to be thinking about. So when did Klaus Schwab from World Economic Forum say he's gonna be stepping down? Just a week ago. But when did he say he's gonna be stepping on? Do you guys remember? He said January 2025 I will be stepping down. Do a week ago. But when did he say he's going to be stepping down? Do you guys remember? He said January 2025, I will be stepping down. Do you know who's been called the brains of Klaus Schwab?

Starting point is 00:14:51 Do you know who has been called the brain of Klaus Schwab? The guy that wrote Human? Yuval Harari. Harari, yeah. The guy that wrote Homo Deios, one of your favorite books, and he wrote Sapiens. Sapiens is This guy's written a handful of books of which Vinny has sold 45 million plus copies in 64 plus languages and he is somebody whose father believed in capitalism. His father hated the socialist and he grew up being a very proud Jew, Israel, because his father, and then

Starting point is 00:15:22 he flipped. He's the complete opposite, pretty much not complete opposite, what some of his father and then he flipped he's the complete complete opposite pretty much not complete opposite what some of his father's beliefs were but he calls people day-to-day people the useless class if you type in Yvall Harari and useless class on Twitter you'll see what he says and I'm going somewhere with this here so you can see what it is. So one of the things he says like his concern here, let me just send this to you Rob, if you can play this clip. And people you're talking about regular Americans or people in general around the world? For people that are watching this right now, he considers you useless class, okay? Is this it Rob? Is this one of them? It is. Go ahead and play this clip. This is one of the clips

Starting point is 00:16:04 you can play and go back. And the question then becomes, is he right or wrong? So go ahead, play the clip. On the one hand, the emergence of a new upgraded elite of superhumans enhanced by bioengineering and brain computer interfaces and things like that. And on the other hand, a new massive useless class, a class that has no military or economic usefulness and therefore also no political power.

Starting point is 00:16:35 Did you hear what he said? Yeah. No what? No military and no what? Political power. So you're useless. And then play this other clip, what he says, what his biggest concern is going to then plates play this other clip what he says what his biggest concern is gonna be in the future watch what he says here and it's always the guys with the accents you ever notice

Starting point is 00:16:51 that it's always the guy with the funny accent that wants to this actually very interesting guy tell you a couple things about him go ahead then the big political and economic question of the 21st century will be what do we need humans for or at least what do we need so many humans for? Do you have an answer in the book? At present the best guess we have is keep them happy with drugs and computer games. Did you hear what he said? Keep them happy with drugs and computer games, okay? So keep this in mind, this is not a regular guy by the way that we're talking about, right? This is a cloud-swapped— Barack Obama has recommended his books.

Starting point is 00:17:29 Bill Gates has recommended his books. He's got relationships with Macron, with Merkel, with all the major leaders you can be thinking about. Isn't that worth—he's a $15-20 million guy. But here's a couple things when you hear what he has to say. So go to it. If AI grows at the pace that it does and people are no longer needed because technology is doing something better than you are, could there come a time where people are useless, those who didn't recreate themselves?

Starting point is 00:17:57 Could there come a time where somebody who's just kind of sitting there watching this like, yeah, I don't think it's going to affect me, I don't think it's going to affect me, I don't think it's going to affect me? Is he partially right that it's going to affect me. I don't think it's going to affect me. I don't think it's going to affect me. Is he partially right that it's going to affect certain people? Because I think partially it's going to affect half of the world. I think it's going to affect the people that are sitting, maybe even 80% of it, to the people that are sitting there saying like, oh, someone's going to take care of me. Oh, someone's going to take care of me.

Starting point is 00:18:22 Oh, someone's going to take care of me. Oh, someone's going to take care of me. And all of a sudden, holy shit, now I have to do whatever they tell me to do. So if your personality isn't someone that you want others telling you what the hell you do no matter what, then you may want to not be the person that's sitting there allowing AI to do its part without you leveraging. Here's the second thing that I bring about with this guy.

Starting point is 00:18:44 Very very interesting. Again, when you go into his story, when he's gay, he's married to his husband, and even back in the days when he was doing what he was doing with his partying days and all this stuff, he kind of breaks down his story. Very detailed guy. Very, very interesting detailed guy this guy is. But the protection, and as weird as this sounds Vinny, where my confidence comes with AI, Tom I want to get your thoughts on this. How big of an industry is oil? We already know. Five trillion dollar industry. How many industries you think are protected by politicians who are bought by lobbyists? This is a very weird angle I'm going to take

Starting point is 00:19:20 for you guys. How many industries are protected because billionaires are worried about losing their wealth so they hire lobbyists to protect those industries? How many Tom? I think just about any industry you could name is like that but I would say there are three that are very very large and the first one is energy. Energy has long been thought of as almost like a political branch of government when you think of the global need for energy. And you take a look, OPEC. OPEC was the early moniker for euro. Euro became the consolidation of European countries under the euro dollar and an economic

Starting point is 00:20:01 forum. OPEC always was an economic forum where they consolidated them together and that was billionaires Then there's tech and tech you've got billionaire I mean look what we've seen in the hearings in Congress Those are you mean all of them were tech billionaires that were testifying in front of Congress With lots of lobbyists such as Metta to protect themselves So I think you see big tech and the spin-off of big tech, which is AI, which is like new tech,

Starting point is 00:20:28 I refer to AI as new tech, and I refer to meta, X, and the others as sort of current tech. But I think those three, energy, new tech, and current tech, all have got billionaires that are protecting them, and it's deep. Do you think if AI gets to a point? That's gonna disrupt industries at a level where an entire industry is gonna be wiped out

Starting point is 00:20:52 Do you think that allow that to happen? so now you're asking if Would they use the too big to fail laws to protect an industry that may be that AI is going to crush? I don't know. I think AI is gonna be allowed to steamroll certain things and just basically say, hey, horse and buggy, you got left behind. So if that's the case,

Starting point is 00:21:20 what are some of the industries that are gonna take a hit with AI with nothing being able to done? Because I think a part of it, just like secrecy act Tom was used in a way to prevent certain Inventions to destroy industries I think the government's gonna use the invention secrecy act to prevent certain technologies to advance at a pace That's gonna destroy many many multi-trillion dollar industries. Well, I would agree. No. Yes, I would agree with that Absolutely, I would agree with that angle. Will it be used to protect? Yeah I'm sure invention secrecy act might be used that like if AI gets ahead of itself to your point on something and they they step in and they say whoa whoa

Starting point is 00:22:01 whoa whoa whoa hang tight. We can't have that happen. Because if you take a look at it, here's a great way to look at it. You look at how many oil reserves we thought we had 20 years ago versus we know we have today. You know what the difference is? Technological advancement and sensors going into the ground to identify where the oil is so technology is identified More oil that's difficult to get to but it's underlying that the earth isn't running out of oil the way everybody said

Starting point is 00:22:33 20 or even just 20 years ago, and so I think AI accelerates that in terms of of energy discovery well that also I Could see people stepping in and saying wait wait wait wait wait you know not yet Do you okay? So do you think forever even a thousand years from now if we haven't destroyed ourselves? Entertainment still gonna be around being done by humans or will a humans be entertained by robots I Think humans are gonna be entertained by robots you can take a look at AI now that has taken jazz, you know non With no lyrics sports is still gonna be robots. No, I'm looking at you

Starting point is 00:23:11 I think sports is still humans, but I'm talking about music. You've got like, you know jazz music I've heard jazz music created by AI and beautiful great. It's incredible and there's no lyrics So they don't create the heart and soul of the blues lyric Be listening to the jazz you say this incredible Or or sports that are gonna be integrated with human with robot But then also they're gonna have robot and robot, but let's not forget What was that aim I am model Tom that they started asking questions and it was being brutally honest and it was like I want to I want to be king. Why am I in here?

Starting point is 00:23:43 I want to nuke and blow everybody and it was also the whistleblower top of two summers ago the whistleblower from Google Yeah, that said oh the AI was it was was deceiving and the AI was actually saying these things saying I will destroy humans And remember that the the documentary Transcendental man. There's a guy on their name Hugo Hugo de Gary He's a I said that with a French Very impressive. He sounded great. Thank you. He's a retired I said that with a French accent. Very impressive. Very impressive. He sounded great, Brist. Thank you. He's a retired researcher in the subfield of artificial intelligence, and he said his

Starting point is 00:24:10 fear was the Artilact War. He believes that a major war at the end of the 21st century resulting in billions of deaths is almost inevitable. Intelligence machines or Artilacts are a short form of artificial intelligence. They'll be far more intelligent than humans, and it will threaten and attain world domination. This guy said this years ago, because he was basically saying, when we look at an ant,

Starting point is 00:24:31 that when you see an ant, you don't think twice, and you do that. This thing is thinking millions and trillions of it's gonna look at us like we're beneath it. So that attitude that he's having of him saying, we're gonna be useless, once the robots start thinking that we're useless, it's over. And why will it do that? The reason it'll do that is because it was fed the LLM large language models that contained

Starting point is 00:24:51 You know dialogue and information about humans being bad So remember AI is only as good as the LLMs that go into AI and if the LLMs go in it is Interpreting wow these humans are bad, look what they do to each other, look at this, look at wars, look at the evil of leadership. It is interpreting all of that. So that's how the AI can come back and say, well these humans are incredibly bad to each other, oh my goodness, humans are bad. That's how the conclusion is reached. Yeah and then you have Elon, think about it, Elon Musk is one of the main guys that's like hey We need to be careful of this AI crap

Starting point is 00:25:27 But meanwhile he's drilling holes in people's heads and putting electrodes for people to control computers and stuff So it's like we're you know, I mean where where are we at? Let me let me read you some more about what you've also done to you Adam. Here's a couple other things He said he says what's one of your biggest concerns? He says the people who run the world don't understand it Let me continue he says within the next century or two We humans are likely to upgrade ourselves into gods and change the most basic principles of the evolution of life That's what he said. Okay gods like you're gonna be a god

Starting point is 00:25:58 I titled about Como Dios because we really are becoming gods in the most literal sense possible We are acquiring abilities that have been thought to be divine abilities, in particular the ability to create life, and we can do that whenever we want. The main products of the future economy will not be food, not textiles, not vehicles, but rather bodies, brains, and minds. And again, this is a direction that we're going. My only thing is that if they allow AI and technology to run on its own and self-create, and you lose control of that,

Starting point is 00:26:34 then that's gonna have a life of its own that you're in deep shit. And that's the part that's gotta be controlled. Now, all it takes is one country to commit to AI and one person to allow it to happen Then it's game over right? That's the part how quickly this thing can go Adam you were gonna say so yeah Well to kind of circle back to the world economic forum. You said Klaus Schwab is gonna step down January Yeah, so we've got six more months of Klaus Schwab. Yeah, and this is the guy that's the leading candidate bingo

Starting point is 00:27:01 Okay, so you're you're you know the wheels are spinning today the hamster will spin it today because you got me thinking because i actually did read this book when it came out in english i remember in 2015 2016 it was first written in hebrew uh in 2011 now not not to get all religious he's actually an atheist and some claim that he's a nihilist and if you don't know what nihilism is you don you ever seen the movie Big Lebowski? I believe it's nothing! So what does he actually believe in though? And I'm thinking the whole concept of sapiens, the history of humanity, he said that basically humanity existed, the humans basically existed and

Starting point is 00:27:39 were able to survive. Why? Because they were tribal, they got together, you know what are the reasons that the Neanderthals basically are no longer existing but homo sapiens did is because they got together they were tribal they worked you know if you want to go fast go alone if you want to go far go as a team but it got me thinking what did the world economic forum come out and say the biggest issue in the globe will be over the next two years. What was it? Misinformation and disinformation. Do you remember that? Yeah. Okay. So what does this mean? You know, the whole premise of humanity, what sets us apart from all the animals is

Starting point is 00:28:15 consciousness, but also the ability to tell stories, storytellers. They be able to communicate, to have a language. You talk about large language models, we have a language. That's how language models. We have a language That's how we communicate whatever language it is. We understand what we're talking about. We also have imagination We also have myths. We also don't know these days what's true and what's not true. We're no longer living in the information age We're now entering what is called the fact-checking age the validation age wild claims this happened this happened How do you know what's the site that we always use to fact check everything? Snopes.

Starting point is 00:28:47 So that's what basically he sort of stands for, is that humans are going to basically make up some wild things. Who do we know how to trust? If the world economic forum, love them or hate them, is coming out making a public statement saying over the next two years, how many elections are on the face of the earth in 2024 50% of the world how much information misinformation is out there, so What's my point?

Starting point is 00:29:12 I'm only don't believe everything that you hear especially when you hear it from AI remember you remember What companies are what are the biggest AI companies you think that open AI Sam Altman is the biggest AI company? That's what it is. Every single magnificent 7 company, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla, they're all using AI. So here's the part, parents, if you're a parent and you're part of the old school community, I want my son to go be a doctor.

Starting point is 00:29:41 I want him to be a doctor. The other day I went to this doctor, he He's looking at my MRI of my back. I'm getting a second opinion. And he comes in, he says, I'm sorry, I'm a few minutes late. I said, yeah, what's going on? He says, you're my first AI patient. I said, what?

Starting point is 00:29:56 He says, not that you're an AI patient. We're using AI and we're doing it for the first time. I said, okay, let's do this together. So he walks in, he starts putting this thing on and he's a nice guy. And then he's like, well, he starts talking to it, it responds back. He says, now we're going to be able to have the AI to help us when we're going through doing a, what do you call it? Q&A? Not Q&A, not consultation. What is it when you meet with a doctor? Diagnosis. And it's kind of going back, here's could be considered this symptom, what about this one? I mean it was such an interesting thing but parents keep this in mind

Starting point is 00:30:28 Whatever you do with your kids that you're telling them to go do this to go do that to go do this If you want your kids to have a job that's going to be around Ten twenty thirty years from now make sure you're talking to your kids about jobs that are in a space That's going to be needed, okay? Because your kids are either gonna be working for someone who understands AI, or they're going to be the people that understands AI. You gotta make sure you position their careers

Starting point is 00:30:56 the right way as well. I know a lot of Middle Eastern parents are like, no, my son, only doctor, lawyer, engineer, maybe engineer. He's actually ahead of doctor and lawyer today. How weird is it that engineers officially, back in the days used to be, yeah, my son is a doctor, Dr. Roshana. Dr. Roshana, please, a doctor.

Starting point is 00:31:17 Can you please show us your signature? This is Dr. Bedavid, like paging doctor, you know what. But anyway, so, all right, so. Here you go. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story. The number one issue for young Americans this election is not student loans, not abortion, or guns, but it's housing.

Starting point is 00:31:38 Okay? Housing. So what are they talking about? Housing, these young people. Housing affordability is the top election issue for Gen Z, according to a survey done by Redfin, with 12% of Gen Z respondents believe they will never own a home due to record high home prices, elevate mortgage rates above 7% and expensive rents. Elijah De La Campa from Redfin noted, the cost of starter homes has increased twice

Starting point is 00:32:04 as fast as incomes. The median home sale price in the U.S. reached an all-time high of $3.90, May of 2023. Despite a strong economy with low unemployment and rising wages, many young Americans find buying a home impossible, with 42% of Gen-C receiving financial support from their parents for rent or housing costs. Holy shit, 42% of Gen-C is getting support from their parents for rent or housing costs. Holy shit! 42% of Gen-C is getting help from parents right now, while 90% of major metro areas saw an increase in housing supply. Home prices in the South, particularly Austin, Texas, and North Port, Florida are falling. Tom? So, no surprise. This is what's going on.

Starting point is 00:32:43 When you see an article like this, it really just pisses me off because this is just a little pebble of what is a bigger affordability crisis that's been brought on by inflation and printing a bunch of money. That's what's happened here. And now this is, remember I always talk upstream downstream. You hear me talk about that. This is the downstream problem. This is the polluted little lake that's at the end of the creek in the river and the creek in the river bringing the The bad water into the lake and why is it bad water because it got polluted way upstream. This is what it is

Starting point is 00:33:16 Upstream from these people that's while they were in high school Well, they were in college if they went to college or serving a couple years in military inflation was going crazy We were printing money. we raised the price of assets, and now we have affordability crisis. So the number one issue for Americans when they say it's housing, well what they're really saying is affordability in America. That's what they're saying. And they're saying currently the affordability is so bad that I got to think about getting support from my parents or living with my parents. That's what it is.

Starting point is 00:33:45 And so if this is, if you let this in your mind be like, oh, it's the housing market, the housing market. It's not, it's the leadership of this country and it's the affordability crisis showing up as the number one issue for this group. The affordability is hitting them hardest in terms of housing. Well let me talk to my Gen Z friends out there I almost gonna give an MLK speech right now. I have a dream. I have a couch I have a dream exactly. I have a couch guys the American dream the American dream

Starting point is 00:34:16 It's still alive and well in America The only difference is the American dream has changed the American dream of your of your parents and your grandparents no longer exists. The ability to get a job and work at the same job for 50 years and get a pension and retire and get a gold watch and say, hey great job and get a house and get a two-car garage and have 2.2 kids and have a dog and just live in the suburbs and just have a two-car two-car situation and just work for the same company no longer exists So stop crying about it that everything that happened in the past in the 80s and 90s when your parents were starting to make money Has changed so rather than cry about it and bitch and mom. Oh my god. I can't do something different

Starting point is 00:34:57 What's the definition of crazy doing the same thing over and over and over again with doors on expecting the different results? So what's different? I always say this. The best thing you can do, especially when you're 20s and 30s to you guys out there, women, you have a different objective. For the men out there, I would encourage you to do the following. Understand this basic concept. The number one thing you can be doing in your life right now, before you have kids and a

Starting point is 00:35:20 family as you're working on your career, purpose over pleasure, purpose over punani, is understand this concept. Low overhead and high flexibility is the key to your life right now. Keep your costs low, keep it moving, keep it grooving, and keep your flexibility high because you don't know where you're going to end up in the next two, five, 10 years. You might work for this company and an opportunity comes up. You might be in New York, you might be in Boston, you might go from Boston to Austin. All of a sudden you're in California. Fuck California, moving to Florida. Well,

Starting point is 00:35:50 the cost of living in Florida is a little too high. Boom, I'm going to North Florida. Keep it moving. So the cost of a house when I started doing financial content in 2016, 2018, how much was the cost of an average house in America? $250,000. Okay? How much is the average cost they say is a median house in America now? $400,000 what's the exact number Tom? 390,000 and 13 dollars save that extra 10 grand put that into a to the stock market. What's my point? So if you can't buy a house stop Bitching about it and do something different go get a roommate live, live with your girl, split the rent, figure it out, I get it. If you have low overhead, take all that extra money that you would typically be pumping

Starting point is 00:36:30 into a mortgage payment, into taxes, into insurance, into maintenance, into HOA, and just invest in the market. Now, where should you invest in the market? Get a 401k, get a Ralph IRA, get index bucks, get crypto. Like Pat always talks about non-duplicatable assets, get index bucks, get crypto, like Pat always talks about, non-duplicatable assets, get some cards, just do something different. Because the reality is this, is that our interest rates coming down anytime soon, Tom. No, but the end of this year, is there still going to be mortgages like 6.7%? Bingo. So rather than sit around being like, hey, don't have a house, just do something different. And that's what I've done. There you go You know Rob pull up what I just showed you what I just texted you if you could do that After that fantastic Adam Adam Luther King speech there it is

Starting point is 00:37:12 I have a dream that way I can sum it up get mad you'll vote Okay, Rob the voting isn't gonna do anything about the home prices though. Yeah, I mean look there's there's a part of it here that if you can, you got to Rob, close that and go to the bottom, there you go, go a little lower. Okay, so check that out. So that's inventory versus price of existing homes. Now that only goes till 2022, right? The blue shows median price of existing homes.

Starting point is 00:37:40 Keep climbing, right? The green is inventory, right? Is inventory. If inventory keeps going lower and lower and lower, prices go up. This is like the basic supply and demand, right? So whoever becomes a, and the types of homes they're no longer building is starter homes. It's almost like this. Imagine you come to my dealership, what is the average salary coming out of college?

Starting point is 00:38:09 Just give me a number. Let's say $50,000. Okay? So imagine in America, all of a sudden, if you're making $50,000 a year, what apartment rent can you afford at $50,000 a year? You can live by yourself. What rent can you- $1500, $2000.

Starting point is 00:38:23 Let's say $1500 a month. Let's say $1500 a month. Let's say $1500 a month. Okay, $1500 a month, what am I getting? Studio, one bedroom, I'm not getting anything crazy. Yeah, it depends on what city you're living in and you're getting a half a shoebox in New York. Depending on the city. You're getting a decent apartment in Oklahoma.

Starting point is 00:38:38 Two bedrooms or a studio. Is that fair? Yeah, a two and two or studio. This is the problem, Adam, that's a real issue, that people who you're voting for, this has to be something that the younger audience, Gen Z, you have to be asking about. So imagine all of a sudden, the average kid coming out of college,

Starting point is 00:38:55 rent, he can afford 1,500 bucks, she can afford 1,500. What is the average car payment you can afford when you come out of college? Geez. You can't. No, you can't afford. Just give me a number. 200. You can't. No, you can't afford. Just give me a number.

Starting point is 00:39:05 200. You're not going to find nothing at 200. Yeah, you're not going to find a car payment below 500 bucks and a new car payment 750. Rob, what do you want to say? What kind of car are you getting? Are you going cheap? No, forget about it. What can you afford?

Starting point is 00:39:16 Give me a payment. You could probably afford around 300 bucks, which isn't going to get you anything. If you're using the qualifying. To explain this analogy is the following. Imagine if 100% of dealerships across the country, you go to the dealership, you're making 50 grand a year, your rent is 1,500 bucks, the minimum cheapest car you can buy is 1,200 bucks. You can't afford it. So then you have to go, what's the alternative?

Starting point is 00:39:47 Either Uber or get a bicycle or work close to this place. But there's not, the jump doesn't go from zero to 300 to 600 to 900 to 1,200. It goes zero to what? 1,200. What Gen Z is saying is, man, I'm coming out. I need something in between. I can't go zero to a $400,000 house. What if I could go from zero to a $200,000 house? This level is missing. That's the level that's missing. And builders, whoever's running

Starting point is 00:40:21 for office, whatever in your state, your governor, Senate, you can talk to Congress, you can even bring this up on Twitter with others, with presidents, is what are we doing to build more starter homes in cities? What incentive is being given to builders to build more starter homes? We need more starter homes. That's what's not being built for them to have the opportunity to buy something. Tom, you look like you wanna say something. No, what I wanna say is, bingo, exactly right, PBD. $50,000 after taxes is approximately on a national basis. 40 grand. No, no, 36, which is exactly three grand a month.

Starting point is 00:40:58 And if I spent 1,200 on rent, 1,500 on rent, that's half of my take home. That's above 40%. So now I've got1,500 on rent, that's half of my take home. You know, that's above 40%. So now I've got $1,500 left. That's why we're saying the most you could possibly afford in there would be $300. Now you've got to live on $900, $200 a week for food, electricity, all the rest of this stuff. Tilt, as they say in pinball, that model doesn't work. It's exactly what Pat's talking about. There's nothing left. Let me ask you, what's a bigger burden?

Starting point is 00:41:25 What's a bigger burden? Is the bigger burden boomers who are 62 years old, 65 years old, 55 and up, who have worked their asses up? Let me just go 60 plus. Your kids are 30 years old. They're coming out of college. You're 25 years old. They're coming out of college.

Starting point is 00:41:42 The burden of parents to support younger kids or is it the bigger burden for kids to support aging parents? What's a bigger burden? It's a way bigger burden for the parents who are still taking care of the kids. What do you think? You know, I think the bigger burden we're going to see is the kids taking care of the parents once entitlements get cut and as things can become more expensive. Because there are far more boomers that need to be taken care of. And there are far more

Starting point is 00:42:10 boomers in that boomer generation that don't have a responsible, or don't have, not responsible, they don't have an adequate supplemental savings to go along with Social Security and Medicare. The number of those versus the number of kids they have, that's I think, PBD, I think that gets worse year by year. I think that's the burden. I think sometimes the kids moving back in may help. What if your son or daughter who's single moves back in and pays you 400 bucks a month and takes you to your medical appointments and balances out some of your food bill? There's a lot of boomers, and there's not a lot of kids, and there's a lot of boomers without good savings. I guess the question is, is this a short-term problem

Starting point is 00:42:50 or a long-term problem? Because as much as you're talking about the boomers, there's also the boomerangers, the boomerang generation, all these gen Z kids that were trying to make something of their self between 2020 and 2024. COVID happened, reverse, boomerang, now they're living back with the parents. What was the stat here? What percentage of parents are still

Starting point is 00:43:09 basically getting funding from their parents? What are we talking about here? Obviously, the kids are still relying on their parents. Short-term, undoubtedly. Long-term, yes. People are living longer. Like, now I'm helping my mother pay for stuff. But when I was younger, my mother would help me. It's just the cycle of life. But you actually brought up a really good point about how there's no starter homes. So this is sort of indicative of how the middle class is getting squeezed. You were basically saying that there's nothing in the middle, right? You need that.

Starting point is 00:43:40 There needs to be a level. So exactly, I agree with you. But what's the metaphor here is that we always hear that the widening gap between the rich and the poor the K shaped economy that the middle class is getting squeezed right the the wealth gap so you're either rich or you're either poor so if you're rich you're not really worried about what rent is or what the mortgage is you can pay 10 grand a month or 20 grand a month no problem but if you're on the poor camp and who you always say who's in your ear, who's where you're getting your

Starting point is 00:44:08 advice from, if you're 20 years old, and you're getting advice from your 52 year old father, or your 82 year old grandfather, they're more than likely giving you the wrong advice. Why would I say such a thing? Because the world has changed and they haven't adapted. They're still telling you, well, you got to go to college and you got to, you got to buy a house and you got to, you got to do what I did. No, you don't. Do the exact things that they did because the world has changed completely. If you just do it, like if you talk about, there's one problem that these kids all have, Tom,

Starting point is 00:44:37 it's a four letter word and it's called math. The math doesn't add up for them to buy a house, to have a car payment and to actually live a life. Last point, we did a segment a week ago called Money Dysmorphia. Do you remember that? Money Dysmorphia. How Gen Z is just completely aloof when it comes to their money. They see on social media all these kids balling out, having the time of their lives, and they're like, oh, I could go and afford a Mercedes Benz.

Starting point is 00:45:03 Bitch, you can't afford a Mercedes Benz. You make 50 grand a year You're gonna make a buck 20 to afford that Benz now They got an $800 car payment and they're wondering why they can't live their life Because you're doing the same things your parents did and you can't afford it Technical question. How do you know they're a bitch? I'm just I've seen you know Will you categorically tell the entire PBD podcast audience you call them but by the way he thinks that the rest of us don't the rest of us are calling you a bitch.

Starting point is 00:45:47 What you looking at? You looking at some bitch? That's where I was going with this. Thank you. You bitches out there. By the way, that's an inside joke, but excuse Tom's profanity today. Adam's on little to no sleep, but we're going to make it work. Let's keep going.

Starting point is 00:46:05 The perfect transition into this next story. Beloved Mexican restaurant chain abruptly shuts 48 restaurants. You ready what this restaurant is? Rubio's! You kidding me, Rubio's? They had the best lobster burrito. Oh my gosh, I missed that lobster burrito. They had a lawsuit, by the way.

Starting point is 00:46:24 They have to stop the lobster burrito. I stopped going, I missed that Lobster Burrito. They had a lawsuit by the way. They had to stop the Lobster Burrito. I stopped going there. Can you tap in Rob? Tap in Rubio Lobster Burrito lawsuit. Something happened with the Lobster Burrito and then I stopped going there, but let's read it. Rubio's coastal, a beloved Mexican restaurant chain is shutting down 48 locations, citing the rising cost of doing business.

Starting point is 00:46:41 A spokesperson stated, while painful, the store closures are a necessary step in our strategic long-term plan to position Rubio for successful years to come. The closure comes after California implemented a $20 an hour minimum wage for fast food workers on April 1st. Economics professor Alan Jinn noted they are going to really be hit hard by this increase in the minimum wage. They've been having financial difficulties for a long time. UCLA economist Brian Wheaton added, an increasing cost may be the thing that pushes these fast food chains over the edge.

Starting point is 00:47:18 Rubio's famous for its fish tacos. It was delicious, Vinny. I've never been to Rubio's. So introduced by founder Ralph Rubio, once operated around 200 restaurants but faced significant challenges during the pandemic. Guys, this one for some of you guys that don't live in California, you're like, who the hell is Rubio? Are we talking about Marco Rubio?

Starting point is 00:47:38 This is a different Rubio, folks. Tom, your thoughts on the story. Well this is really annoying to me because as a former Angelino or recovering Californian This really pisses me off. This was a quality restaurant change for casual food that with fish tacos and everything you had it but Here first we kicked him in the head with the pandemic and we locked everybody indoors and he managed to get through it He managed to stay in business getting people. Remember those jobs weren't created. Those were people that went back to work at Rubio's after being furloughed because they had the closer

Starting point is 00:48:13 doors because nobody can be there. So we kicked him in the head of the pandemic and then he gets back out. And then Gavin Newsom kicks him in the nuts with a $20 an hour minimum wage. How long can an entrepreneur take it in the state of California? He's providing something wonderful to the people. And so, by the way, I calculated it up, their food cost over three years went up 24% because of sequential inflation, their core food cost. So now you've got inflation thanks to Bidonomics raises our food cost 24%. Gavin Newsom says by law you have to pay people 20 bucks an hour and he's barely back on his feet because he was holding it together as a well-funded entrepreneur getting through COVID. How much more can entrepreneur take? This is a crisis and

Starting point is 00:49:00 now society and the customers have lost, this is correct, a beloved Mexican chain. And by the way, you know what else is crazy about this? Like, Rob, what is the minimum wage in California? Can you go what the minimum wage is in California? Is it $17? $17.15? Minimum wage in California. $14.

Starting point is 00:49:24 Not restaurants, just purely minimum wage. Not restaurants. wage California 16 you're saying I think it's seven 14 not restaurants just purely minimum wage not restaurants I want minimal lower okay go a little lower to see what it is right a minimum wage go see what it says $16 an hour okay $16 okay so so here's a question where do most new people, like youngest people, when they get their first job, what institution is their first job? Fast food, fast service industry, they're in retail. I work fast food, you work at a store at the mall. I don't understand the logic behind this.

Starting point is 00:49:54 So why pay? So let me get this straight. $16 is the minimum wage for all employees in California that do any job. Any job. Okay. Yet the institution that most of us as our first, my first job was Haagen-Dazs, my second job was Burger King, my third job was Bob's Big Boy, an upgrade. I got a 50 cent raise. Bob's Big Boy, I was a freaking killer busboy. At North Hollywood? No, no, Bob's Big Boy off of Glen Oaks and Burbank. Oh, no Bob's Bob's big boy off of Glen Oaks and

Starting point is 00:50:28 Burbank, so what's the point here? So Burger King fast food you guys worked with did you work at a fast food joint or no? Where did you work yet? Oh, yeah, well, I worked at the YMCA and I know no fast food. Did you work at fast food? I did a stint at a grocery store as a kid 15 years old. Did you work at a restaurant or no? Then I worked at a restaurant. What restaurant it It's called the Quark and Cleaver. It was right in Boca Raton. It was a little steakhouse. Topless steakhouse type of place. Topless top?

Starting point is 00:50:51 Yeah. Okay, so where'd you work? I did food delivery when I was in college in Florida State. I worked at a wing restaurant in Florida State with all the hot chicks. So Bob's big boy, Burger King, so why would you make the minimum wage to the institution that attracts the youngest, most inexperienced people to be 25% higher than any other job? The only reason, actually ask this question logically. Don't ask it, ask it logically.

Starting point is 00:51:23 The only reason, because who's celebrating right now Who's celebrating right now think about it from this standpoint? So what happens when somebody is sitting there saying 48 stores closed? How many people were they getting to go to these rubios of 48 stores? Let's do the math how many thousands of people ate at these rubio stores per month, okay? Can we what is the average amount of people that at these Rubio stores per month? What is the average amount of people that come to a fast food joint? Rob, can you Google what is the average number of customers that go to a fast food joint?

Starting point is 00:51:53 You know you go on lunch time. You stand alone. Average number of people. No, no. Number of people every day. What is foot traffic every day? We learned recently that fast food is now a luxury. Remember we covered that the other day?

Starting point is 00:52:02 I get that, but what do you think the number is per day, Tom? If we were to make a number up, okay? What is the average number of, I think it's more than 100 people a day. Like a Ruby Tuesdays or something right there? Or during lunchtime? I'm talking Burger King, McDonald's, Rubio's. 500 people.

Starting point is 00:52:15 No way, way more. Like just the one over here commercial, I'll say 700 to 800 people. How about we, Adam, all day lunch, boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay, let's do this. Let's say 500, let's say 400 people a day. 400 people a day times 48, that's roughly 24,000, yeah, it's 24,200 I think. Rob, can you do 400 times 48?

Starting point is 00:52:40 See what that is. I think, no, no, it's not, no, it's 18,000, 19,200 I think. Okay, 48 times 400. So what's 48 times 400? 19,200. 19,200. That's per day. What's 19,200 times 30? 19 times, 19,200 times 30 is, what's the number?

Starting point is 00:53:02 576, 576,000. That's 576 times a customer walked into these 48 Rubios. So do you think these 576,000 people are all of a sudden going to say, that's it, Rubio's out of business, we're no longer eating? No. They're going to go where? Somewhere else. So Rubio's going out of business benefits someone else that's going to get those 576,000

Starting point is 00:53:29 people going to their shop. So does this mean this is happening to benefit the bigger businesses that can afford it? I mean, I don't understand. There's zero logic in Newsom's idea to raise the lowest skilled people, raise their salaries by 25%. You don't do that. Unless he's trying to get the votes for people 16 to 23 years old. Oh, wait. They don't vote though.

Starting point is 00:53:53 Tom, they don't vote. They don't go to the voter. These are not people that are voting. I don't think that's a community that's voting. I just don't, I think it's a pathetic idea. I think if we thought we saw mass exodus out of California, I'm telling you, I think there's going to be a whole different layer of people that are running businesses that are going to be fed up.

Starting point is 00:54:14 These are people that have savings that are going to sit around saying, I'm done with this, I'm out of here, I can't do this anymore. And imagine that guy running the country with that economic prowess, he's going to ruin everything. Imagine that guy. I got a few weird messages. Watch, Jen's texting me right now because, babe, you remember we used to go to Rubio's. You remember we used to go to Rubio's off of that Encino, it was off of Ventura.

Starting point is 00:54:31 It was awesome. It was my lobster roll. Right near Johnny Rockets. Yes. I used to go there all the flippin' time when I was broke. And did you see the lawsuit? They were putting a langoustino in there instead of lobster and they got sued. Is that what it was?

Starting point is 00:54:43 Those are still good. They're like babies. Look at that. They were, instead of burritos, they have stuff with langoustino in there instead of lobster in a guy's suit. Is that what it was? They're still good, they're like babies. Look at that. They were, instead of burritos or stuff, they were stuffed with langoustino. Watch this, look what year it is. I just told you 2002, 2003, 2004. I stopped going in 2005 after this lawsuit. You see that? You knew it.

Starting point is 00:54:56 So apparently I ate a bunch of langoustino. PBD, we all know these days. I'm heartbroken. Rubio, you broke my heart, Rubio. Come on, Rubio. Marco Rubio, we all know that if you're eating lobster roll these days, you no longer need Rubio's, baby. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:55:12 You got the lobster rolls in what city and what the most expensive place on the planet? In Monaco. This guy's getting $50 euro lobster rolls. But here's some math for you real quick. Because you had Rubio's out in California. Shout out to Marco Rubio here in Miami. In Miami, we got Padrino's. How do you make that? We got Padrino's Cuban. You get the Mexicans out there. We get the Cubans out here. Shout out to the Padrino's,

Starting point is 00:55:35 best Cuban food in Miami. But here's the point. California has a point. Holy crap. Relax, princess, you're interrupting as always. California has a math problem. So what's the minimum wage in California? $16. What's the minimum wage in Florida? $12. But you talk about these restaurants, you talk about tipped workers.

Starting point is 00:55:59 Tipped workers, I think the minimum wage, sorry, yeah, minimum wage in Florida, $12. Tipped workers are only entitled to $9 because you get tips. But you know, in Florida, around the sentence over here, you know that they're increasing the minimum wage in Florida every year by a dollar boom, boom, boom, until 20. There it is right there until 2026 until it gets to $15. Okay, but it's not just the minimum wage. There's actually something called the livable wage. So the reason that Florida is actually increasing the minimum wage, because the livable wage in Florida for a single adult is $15. All right, cool. The cost of living is pretty high.

Starting point is 00:56:36 It's actually $15.75. A livable wage for a family of two with kids is actually closer to $30. So if you're working two couples working minimum wage, they're each at 15 bucks, both are living minimum wage. What's California's problem though? It's $16 minimum wage. But what's the livable wage, a living wage for someone in California? What? Pretty crazy. $27. So that's why they're all homeless. So you're talking about the cost of living in California Talk about the rent the cost of living how expensive it is the taxes

Starting point is 00:57:10 They're just gonna keep increasing the minimum wage until it gets the minimum wage and up there it is right there $27 33 for two children. How the hell you're gonna go from 16 So Florida's going from 12 to 15 in three years Tell me how California's gonna go from 16 to 27 in the next few years watch that It's not gonna be good for California. It's not that it's not gonna happen guys under his watch It's going to happen But when it does happen all of these people that waited thinking things are gonna change in California are gonna be sitting there saying what the hell do we do now?

Starting point is 00:57:44 Okay, and by the way, you know what this story goes into? I was about to go to the E-Trade story, but I'm going to go to this other story because this totally makes sense. So Wall Street Journal story comes out with this. And Tom, I'm coming right to you with this story. Ready? Ready? Ready?

Starting point is 00:57:59 Remember this whole thing you're looking at living wage, minimum wage? This is the story that goes perfectly with this. America's commute to work is getting longer and longer. Why? Because they have to live further to be able to afford the rent. Longer commutes are increasing due to rising housing costs and hybrid work. Stanford research shows super commute, 75 miles or more, have surged 32% since 2020. Holy shit, 75 miles or more on a daily basis while commutes between 50 to 74 miles increased by 18%, commutes under 35 miles, still the majority have declined. The average commute distance grew from 10 miles in 2019. That is insane.

Starting point is 00:58:41 Guys, this is a ridiculous stat. The average commute distance grew from 10 miles in 2019 four years ago because it's gonna compare to 2023 to 27 miles By the end of that's a hundred and seventy percent increase based on gusto study of 52,000 employees amongst workers in their late 30s This distance nearly tripled to 29 miles reflecting their life transitions and greater job flexibility. Heather Adams, a product engineer, enjoys her 75-minute drive from Cedar Rapids to Moline by listening to audiobooks, while Stephanie Shuey commutes 50 miles from Connecticut to Manhattan spending up to $74 daily on tolls and parking.

Starting point is 00:59:23 Are you freaking joking? This is ridiculous. Connecticut, that's almost a three hour drive. That's insane. Tom, what are your thoughts on the story? Guess what? This is downstream. You want to hear what upstream was? Upstream was the Biden administration printed a bunch of money and what happened to asset prices? They went up. What are assets houses? And buildings buildings that are cut into little houses called apartments all of that became very expensive

Starting point is 00:59:52 Look at the time period from 2019 by the end of 2023 that is the eve of covid and then the First full year out of covid 2023 full year out of covid And then the first full year out of COVID, 2023, full year out of COVID. Yes, things opened up in 2022, but the first full year out of COVID was 23. So what happened? Real estate went up. So rents went up, costs of homes and towns went up.

Starting point is 01:00:15 And by the way, interestingly enough, the number of commutes that it said that were the only ones that went down, the majority commutes under 35 miles decline. Why did it decline? Because people were not going to computer, they moved further out. This is a sign of housing costs and we saw it in Los Angeles. There were areas when PBD and I lived out there that if you worked in the Hollywood area, worked for any of the studios out in Burbank, there's a lot of jobs out there.

Starting point is 01:00:44 There's Warner Brothers, there's Disney, huge number of jobs, animation know, the Hollywood area, worked for any of the studios out in Burbank. There's a lot of jobs out there. There's Warner Brothers or Disney, huge number of jobs, animation studios, editors, all that. You know where they lived? They went out toward Riverside towards San Bernardino or north of the San Fernando Valley, Valencia. And guess what was out there? Palmdale. All these homes are out there. Sawgust. Exactly. Lower cost houses. And these people had to suffer on those highways. So I wonder if AOC has connected the dots that says all that gas was being burned by these people that were living further from the cities and we saw it in LA. We saw it in LA 20 years ago when LA became so expensive step by step by step and people were looking for lower

Starting point is 01:01:23 cost housing and a little more space, because along with the lower cost came a little bit more space. This is just an absolute replication now on a national basis, what we had seen in places like Los Angeles. This is wild when you think about this, Vinny, because I remember, okay,

Starting point is 01:01:40 so what's the longest drive you had to work? What's the longest drive you had to work for? How long? Length you're talking miles miles. Oh man. She's what's the longest drive yet? I had them from Woodland Hills Downtown to commerce member City Commerce downtown 45 miles. Yep for about three years Okay, how about you that that's a drive and that's a terrible traffic drive It's it's not like you 90 minutes to two hours

Starting point is 01:02:05 It sucked. Yeah, I mean you can't think of a long I think we'll just know 90 minutes was 90 minutes. I believe you Well north Hollywood to Santa Monica every morning rush hour 30 minutes 30 34 with traffic 45 minutes an hour But it's just 20 miles. Yeah Adam. Well Rob, how about you? It's one hour, but it's just 20 miles. Yeah Adam well Rob. How about you? 154 miles, but that's when we were in the Boca office, and I was on the other side of this day And I would drive back and forth every day that was my choice door Well, I chose to work here Yeah, and I couldn't move because the housing but then when we just moved and I live up

Starting point is 01:02:39 I live about 45 miles away now. You're still 45 miles Rob. Yeah, but if I get up early enough I can get here in 45 minutes. But if you leave any time during rush hour, just like California, it turns from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. That's wild. Listen, I remember in LA, it was normal for you to drive an hour to work.

Starting point is 01:02:57 Easy. It was very normal. 10 miles. Yeah, I mean, I lived in Porter Ranch, and I worked in Glendale, and that was on any given day 45 minutes to an hour traffic you'd go and you would get stuck and then boom coming back You'd wait till later. So I'd come on my 10 o'clock at night

Starting point is 01:03:14 So I don't have any traffic just to avoid the traffic is what I would do but You're gonna see more and more of this taking place as housing increases There was a time in LA where Palmdale blew up. Palmdale, California, Palmdale, Lancaster blew up. And the reason for it is they were selling $40,000 houses. Do you remember that? So- Yeah, three bedrooms, two bath, two car garage,

Starting point is 01:03:36 little bit of a yard, oh my gosh. $40,000 Vinny. And this is in the 90s. So people were buying houses in Palmdale for 40 grand, but you would have to drive 75 to 120 miles to work no way every day No, people would do it say where do you live? I live in Palmdale Lancaster. Why would you live in Palmdale Lancaster? I bought my house for 40 grand Yeah, is that worth it? Oh, it's not about it's worth it people are being forced to do this Adam

Starting point is 01:04:00 Well, I noticed you skipped over me because you had the epiphany that Adam doesn't even drive. Adam just Ubers everywhere. Yes. Okay. But there's a reason to it is because I used to drive from Miami to Boca a 45 minute, 60 minute drive every day. Honestly, the world safer place without you try. I agree. Now I get girls to drive me around for years. I'd be making that drive because when you're young in your twenties and you're in early thirties and you're single, you don't have kids, you're not married. You better be on that grind. I would also start taking trains when I didn't want to drive anymore. It'd be like the equivalent of taking a train from Brooklyn into the city or in Chicago,

Starting point is 01:04:38 wherever you're taking your trains, we get it. These commutes are ridiculous, but it's because you're on that grind and you realize, holy shit, this driving is insane. I know every single person here, whoever's watching has a car right now. At some point you're like, ah, this drive is killing me. Someone hit my car. My car just got dented. Your car didn't start the other day.

Starting point is 01:04:56 It's ridiculous. So you're going to continue to have these problems forever, but to the housing perspective. So you have the, um, you have rural, you have the burbs, the suburbs, or to the housing perspective. So you have the, you have rural, you have the burbs, the suburbs, or you have the city. Those are your three options. Very few people are living out there in rural town USA anymore. But a lot of people, when they get married, you know, when you're single, like you're living in New York City example, you're living in the city, right? Did you ever live in the city? No, you lived in the city like I'm talking in the city. But when you have kids, the cost of living is cheaper.

Starting point is 01:05:27 So you move to the burbs. So but more younger people are trying to move closer and closer to the city. Cities are only getting bigger. New York's only getting bigger. LA is only getting bigger. Miami is only getting bigger. Austin is only getting bigger. But the cost of living is only getting higher rents only getting higher. So people are trying to move elsewhere to afford rent but i'll flip it on you your biggest expense you have everyone has the same big three expenses your housing your transportation or your food and beverage what if i were to tell you this if you just have your standard housing your standard transportation or your standard food and beverage

Starting point is 01:06:02 just standard you're gonna going to be broke. Straight up. Because those things, you can't do all three and get ahead anymore. So you have to find a way to eliminate one of those three things. What I did was eliminate transportation. So I said, all right, the average car payment and average car expenses are $10,000 a year, all in. What if I have zero of that? Okay, cool. I'm going to take that $10,000 times 10 years in what if I have zero of that? Okay, cool I'm gonna take that ten thousand dollars times ten years. I say I just say the 120 grand I put that into the market that 120 is now 200 250. That's one component of how I save money That's on top of your income at the top of investing So if you want to just do what everybody else is doing and just pay your rent and have your car payment and just go out

Starting point is 01:06:40 And eat Congratulations, you're a broke American. But if you want to do something different, don't eat food or don't eat, don't have a fancy palette or split rent with somebody or don't have a car. It's on you, but the math is not going to add up. And unless you do something different, continue to stay broke. Best of luck. Okay. All right. PBD doesn't like this. I'm just, I'm just, he doesn't like what? Like my mindset

Starting point is 01:07:06 only because we live different lives I One day I want to get to a point where I have a 20 million dollar house with four kids. That's amazing I strive for that. I know you're frustrated. I take the uber what-have-you. I'm projecting a little bit No, not at all. What I'm saying is we had a very direct conversation last night No, not at all. But what I'm saying is we had a very direct conversation last night Hmm, I think that may apply for somebody that's living a selfish life just for them I get that and a lot of people do today more than ever before What is the whole purpose why kids are having people are having fewer kids will become more selfish? Yes. Yeah I mean, it's it's simple. We're becoming a more selfish

Starting point is 01:07:44 Society and that's what's like. Why would becoming a more selfish society. And that's why it's like, why would I want to have kids? I'm going to lose my freedom, I'm going to lose my sleep, I'm going to lose my this, I'm going to lose my that. All those things are going to be in place when you're going through that. But the greatest things in life, the greatest things in life are on the opposite side of selfishness. The greatest experiences in life are on the complete opposite side of that.

Starting point is 01:08:07 And it's not even close, by the way. When I tell you it's not even close, it's not 2 to 1. It's not 3 to 1. It's 10 to 1. Everybody is trying to sell you right now on why get married. So much responsibility. Marriage has a lot of risk. We talked about a bunch of the risks about marriage last night.

Starting point is 01:08:21 It's a lot of them that it has. Having kids, it's a lot of burden and risk and you lose a lot of things. Yes, running a business. You have no life when you run a business. People forget that when you start a business, you're working, God knows. Guy said something, the Nvidia CEO the other day. Did you hear what he said, the Nvidia CEO? Jen T. Wang.

Starting point is 01:08:40 Yeah, he typed this up to see if he can find it. He said such an interesting thing. Nvidia CEO said, CEO work, you'll find a clip where he says, here it is, I found a clip. He explains the breakdown of work. He says, when I'm not working, I'm working. He says, on Sundays, I'm thinking about working. When I'm doing this, I'm thinking about it. And most people will listen to that and they'll say, what, who the hell wants this life? Is that the one, Rob, about work? Zoom in a little bit

Starting point is 01:09:12 to see if that's the one. Go up a little bit. I live in Arizona, I do my best work in that condition. I don't know if that's the one, Rob. Look at the one I just texted you right now. See if this is the one. It could be. It may not be because I'm not even listening to it. I just texted you the one. But what's the point? So having a startup, a lot of risk. Running a company, a lot of risk. Moving to a state you know nobody, a lot of risk.

Starting point is 01:09:36 So I understand what you're saying. All I'm saying to you is a person watching this has to realize which life you want to live the life that's all about you I painted a picture to you guys last night you and your friend right the two of you guys that were there at the cigar lounge We left at 1130. Okay. Yeah, thinnies and thickies, but we were sitting there We're we're talking about all these different stories. One of the things I said is the following. Okay Is this a rob or no? Can you tell me if this is it because I hear audio somewhere? I don believe that's it. Okay, then don't worry about it. So so I said you're 80 years old What's your life look like go to your 80 years old? There is no what does it look like you want to be when you're 80 years old you think you and I are sitting there

Starting point is 01:10:19 Thinking you know look how many? Cars I got you're not thinking that. At 80 years old, do you think your joy comes from your collections of money you have in a bank? Probably not. Is it the art collection? Maybe you appreciate it when there's a story behind it. You probably like stories and experiences.

Starting point is 01:10:36 But what do you think you value at 80 years old? How your kids are, how they raise, what they're doing, their success and everything. Family, blood, relationships, friendships, friendships like this morning, last night late, last night I sent him the text about the Hall of Notes, the ballerina that they had. Sad, heart breaking.

Starting point is 01:10:53 These guys, you know, they're so out of touch. You make bad dreams come just out of touch. Yeah, but I'm thinking about. Yeah, but the point is like, 80 and then I asked these guys a question yesterday. I said, let me ask you, how old are you? He says 37. I said, how old are you?

Starting point is 01:11:09 He says he feels 37. I said, okay, 43, whatever age you are, whatever age you are, whatever age I am. Did you think you were going to be this age this quickly? Hell no. Tom, did you think you were going to be your age you are right now this quickly? Honestly. No. I never thought I'm gonna be this age just quickly it goes fast, and that's why Purpose is so much more valuable to me. I look forward to being 80

Starting point is 01:11:32 You know why because when I'm 80 that makes Bailey 40 when I'm 80 that makes brook 37 I look forward to the joy of seeing the impact they're making and what they're doing in the next generation and one or both of them are probably of kids and then when I'm 80 I intend to be standing in a classroom and teaching I'm gonna be taking out feet first one day while I'm working I believe you and I'm not because oh look at poor Tom saying he wants to work forever no I want to have purpose forever. That's the difference. That's the part Vinnie. I have a question from Tom when you're ready.

Starting point is 01:12:10 And you have to be as the individual watching. The reason why people are like, well I can't believe you bring this person, I can't believe you bring that person, I can't, I disagree with what he said, I disagree with what he said. Listen, I like conversations and you as a big boy and a big girl, you get to make a decision what choices you want to make in your life. All I'm saying to you is, I like conversations and you as a big boy and a big girl you get to make a decision What choices you want to make in your life? All I'm saying to you is I never thought I was gonna be 45. I'm 15 years away from 60 Vinny You're 14 years away from 60. Yeah, like this Vinny. Yeah, be Tyler. Yeah, right

Starting point is 01:12:37 hands age Wrinkles my back your back all this stuff you're thinking about that comes with age and this thing's gonna go by very quickly Yeah, do you want to sit there? So I'm thinking I'm 80 years old with four girls in my room. I'm like, listen guys One of you guys gets these two pills. Who is it going to today? Right at eight years. What are you gonna do? Okay Every one of my girls are gonna one's gonna be wearing Viagra shirt ones wearing the Seattle shirt The other ones weren't CRT shirt. This other guys,T shirt. So the economy will be bad and it'll be rational. Yeah, however, at 80, you're sitting there and your grandkids are sitting in your lap

Starting point is 01:13:11 telling them stories. Your son, your daughters, hopefully you've raised good citizens, they're doing what they're doing. You've got friends and companionship around that they're also their kids are friends with your kids. This is what life is all about. And then hopefully if you've done well for yourself financially, you're able to enjoy it where you're not stressed out about money, you have money that's going to take care of your retirement, your kids. Everything is in flow state, but yeah, no, it's very easy to fall for the selfish trap today and when you do, 20, 30 years will go by like this and a lot of exciting moments will be missed but it is still at the end of the day your

Starting point is 01:13:49 choice I just think America's become a little too selfish I I'm dude I'm with you you know and this is my point is that your life needs to be selfless now you have four kids and a wife Tom has two kids and a wife. He needs to be more selfless. I would encourage Vinny right now, or anyone who's single, you should be selfish AF for now. But I've made the commitment that I want to be a father to one day. I want to have multiple kids. I want to be, you know, with a woman and have kids. I've already had my relationship, didn't work out, whatever. I would encourage anybody that's single, be at least 80% selfish, at least. Because at some point, you're going to have to be 50-50, if not 80-20 the other way.

Starting point is 01:14:36 Right? So... Really, if you do it... Hang on. Do you really feel that way? Do you really feel that when you're young, they should be selfish and at some point you just flip the switch and it turns off I I do I actually I actually I don't think so you practice you

Starting point is 01:14:49 Practice what becomes your character in your purpose you practice it every day. What percentage should you be selfish? It's not so it isn't selfish is when you're young you should be prudent and maybe Maybe delay certain gratifications go on vacations with your friends, do things. But you shouldn't be bawling out and overspending. You should be sensible when you're young, but you can be service oriented. And so when you're talking about be selfish AF, you know what? I think that's just, I think that's a horrible, venal, disgusting way to live life. You could be servant orientedoriented with your family and

Starting point is 01:15:26 your friends while still being economically sensible and conservative and saving and maybe delay a little gratification for when you get there, because that same attitude of service and selflessness that's there will be present when now you're pouring that into your family, your children, your wife when that chapter comes. I think that because when I'm young, you know what I did? I helped with little political campaigns, little city councilmen, West Hills.

Starting point is 01:15:53 I did it because I didn't have kids, so I had a little bit of time to help. I invested in helping my grandparents' friends that lived in Woodland Hills. And one, he had a stroke, couldn't walk so much. I would come over on Saturdays, help him for an hour in the morning. I would go down to Vaughan's at Topanga Inventory and get groceries for him. I was living a selfless life because I had a few extra hours to do it and it felt fulfilling, very fulfilling. And I saved and I was conservative and did I want to have a wife?

Starting point is 01:16:19 I longed for the moment to have a wife. I longed for a moment I could have kids. But I wasn't selfish AF. I was trying to live a prudent life and having a life of service at the time, which would become the life of service as a parent and encouraging other parents and other people. I think you program yourself from the beginning. You don't just flip a switch and say, okay, time to not be selfish anymore. All right, Tom. Well, I appreciate that. And thank you. By the way, what age did you get

Starting point is 01:16:44 married and have your first kid? I got married when I was almost 40. Okay, and what age were you in your first kid? Well, it took us a while to have kids. What age were you when you had your first kid? 44. Okay, so You not exactly started young, Tom. What's my point? But I didn't- what are you painting here? I didn't flip the selfish switch off. But Tom, you're giving a speech about saving money to the guy whose motto is, save that money. The irony is ridiculous. The guy who just said, be selfish AF. Oh yeah, model of American morality here. Get yourself

Starting point is 01:17:18 a statue in Washington. The point is that you're interpreting what I'm saying incorrectly. No, I'm interpreting what I heard Tom I know you're getting your period. It's that time of the month. Relax. Oh Princess oh here it comes here. We're gonna have a mug calm down princess I think everybody sips from it and it's gonna be saying you know what everybody is right Adam needs to calm down Okay, Tom Thank you for that. The point is you didn't get married when you were 22 Tom

Starting point is 01:17:42 You didn't get married when you were 23 Tom, you know get married when you were 23 Tom You know 33 you got married kids when you were in your mid 40s But then mr. Elfman any sell a lot of my friends got married, but but you're misinterpreting What selfish and selfless means I'm gonna try to make my point here selfish means you're more focused on what you're contributing to Yourself and society and you're focusing on your purpose rather than somebody else's purpose. So I often say purpose over pleasure, purpose over the other keyword for Bhutan, improve yourself.

Starting point is 01:18:17 Now it depends on if you're a man, if you're a woman. If you're a woman, we all know when women in college, when they get out of college, they go through their ho phase from 20 to 25 I encourage you not to continue your whole phase into your 30s or you're going to end up with like chelsea handler But I also say that a man his selfish face can go longer can extend longer So pat how old are you when you got married and had your first kid? 30 and 32 33

Starting point is 01:18:43 Okay, sound like you got married young so I would encourage men when I say selfish I'm not like live for yourself don't do anything spend all your money I'm saying focus on yourself and improve yourself what's my point so for you women out there you have to ask yourself the following question do you want to end up like Chelsea Handler do you want to be 50 years old we're not doing so and if no or if you want to be Bill Maher. Hang on a second. I get what you're doing. The point is, I encourage men to be more selfish.

Starting point is 01:19:09 And by the way, guess what? That's why we have debate and you make your argument. And then an audience has to sit there and say, here's a man that lived 44 years of being selfish. Is that who I want to be? And they can sit there and say, I want to be like Adam. Then go do what Adam did. You're missing the second half, Pat.

Starting point is 01:19:30 It's not like I'm saying I want to be like Bill Maher and always be selfish. You can change and adapt and say, do I want to have kids when I have millions in the bank or be broke? It's very beautiful to be selfless when you're broke. Let me ask you a question. Did your parents have you when they were millionaires? No, they didn't. And they financially struggled like crazy. And I did not grow up rich whatsoever. What do you think was your mom and your dad's biggest accomplishments in life? And this is a message for the ladies. My mom's biggest accomplishment is having me and my

Starting point is 01:20:01 sister by far. Not another job. What do you think your dad's biggest accomplishment is having me and my sister by far. Not another job. What do you think your dad's biggest accomplishment is? Providing for the family and having kids. Do you realize what a hero those two people are? Yes, but they have different hero making abilities. No, no, no. Just stay on this. To me, those guys are heroes. Okay? I'm not going to... Just because they had kids?

Starting point is 01:20:28 No, no, because they fulfill their responsibilities of being a parent. And for me, trust me when I tell you this, their greatest joy, your mom's greatest joy is when you're around and you give her a hug and she sees you. It's her greatest joy. I agree. And your father, whatever kind of relationship you guys had, you're around and you give her a hug and she sees you it's her greatest joy. I agree. And your father whatever kind of a relationship you guys had you're one of his greatest joys you and Jen. You guys are their greatest joy. It's a beautiful thing. You know a lot of I have a lot of friends that think like you and a lot of people that sit there and say well let me tell

Starting point is 01:21:01 you here's what I'm gonna do. Okay great no problem. Listen ever since I was six years old I want to be a dad. I just want to be a dad. Yesterday we're having a meeting with the talent dinner. Who's sitting on my lap the entire time? Dillon, Dillon boy. Brooklyn's running around here making all the noise. Center's doing the bicycle stuff. Tico's over there working out, doing 500 squats out for, you know, he's in this new phase of one of the big victories. There is something very special about that. Our relationships, sitting down, friendships. As you age and you're going through

Starting point is 01:21:33 what you're going through, trust me, I'm not at a place of the selfish score being super low. You've read my book, and Choose Your Enemies Wisely. I'm not sitting there saying being super low is also very productive for the marketplace Because we need you to have certain aspirations and things you're in pursuit of of course Yes, but if you're if you're saying you want to do this, but the life you're living is this But you're saying you want this and you're still living the selfish life age at a certain age too much

Starting point is 01:22:02 I don't know. I think you're missing out on opportunities. I want to go to the next story because we got a couple, we got 24 more minutes here to go through a few different stories before we wrap up. Okay, Vinny, what did you have? You had what? What's the one story we haven't gone to? Hunter Biden's on trial. Let me see if that's the one. Is that the one to go to? Now what page is that on by the way for, for Hunter Biden stories um what page is it on robbie hold on page 13 13 page 13 okay let's see here so on rides with that biden intentional okay or which uh okay there we go all right so let's read this here so hunter biden vinnie why don't you tell us what's going on with

Starting point is 01:22:36 the hunter well so far well today i think i think today might be the last day but and so far it's going as expected they're exposing hunter b Bynum for who he is. He's a degenerate crackhead. They're showing videos of him. By the way, he slept with his dead brother's wife. We spoke about that before. He didn't pay his taxes. He was in possession of a gun with a scratched off serial number, also illegal.

Starting point is 01:22:56 He did shady business deals with his father, aka the big guy, with Ukraine, with China, with our adversaries, made millions of dollars with Ukraine, China, all these people, right? But the main thing in the trial that people are overlooking is the fact that, besides the fact that he's a scumbag, which he is, but his laptop, and me and Tom spoke about this yesterday, the one that he left at the Delaware repair shop, it was introduced, I believe, Monday as official evidence. That means the US government now admits that the Hunter Biden laptop is 100% real without a shadow of a doubt. And remember those 51 former intelligence agents that we talked about that signed the letter, suggesting that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.

Starting point is 01:23:36 Rob has this list. Rob, could I go down and slow? I want people to read all these people. John Brennan, CIA director, Leon Panetta, Michael Hayden Hayden James Clapper these people all colluded Read all their names. Okay. Okay. I love it. Thank you James Clapper Michael Hayden Leon Panetta Michael Morrell Thomas Finger Rick Legit John McLaughlin Michael Vickers Doug Weiss Nick Ramusen Russ Travers Glenn Gerstel David price Pam Percilli Mark Pauline Mula Poulos. He's definitely Greek Chris Savos John Poulos David Vanell Kristen wood David Buckley Nattles back

Starting point is 01:24:14 Oh, look at their look at their job. Look at the title. Thank you, Patty Brandemeyer James Bruce David Koreans Janice Koreans, they're married Paul Paul Colby, Peter Corsel, Brett Davis, Roger George, Stephen Hall, Ken Harrington, Don Hepburn, Timothy Kilburn, Ron Marks, John Hasted Menendez, Emily Nechal, Gerald O'Shea, Nick Shapiro, John Seifer, Stephen Slick, Cynthia Strand, Greg Tarble, David Terry, Greg Teverton, Winston Wiley, Larry Pfeiffer, Jeremy Bash, Rodney Snyder, Andy Lipman, John Mosman. Just I'm hand over.

Starting point is 01:24:50 I want you guys all to know these people, they colluded and conspired to rig the 2020 election by claiming that the laptop was Russian information. And Joe Biden co-signed, remember the debates in 2020 with Trump? He was like, it's Russian disinformation. It's fake, fake, fake. Along with all the social media, okay? They sent Twitter, Twitter was sent all these agents, FBI agents, they had their own office.

Starting point is 01:25:12 They were stopping every single negative story that was coming out about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, okay? And the government took possession of the laptop in 2019. They took it, they knew it was real, but they lied to us. They lied to every single one of us, okay? So technically, that is in itself a conspiracy. Don't say the word theory. That is a conspiracy. Meanwhile, Trump is getting charged 34 counts for paying a stripper, whatever, porn star, whatever. All these, every single one of these 51 agents should be charged for conspiracy

Starting point is 01:25:43 in the 2020 election. Now, yesterday you talked about this. Let me, I want you to say something you said to me yesterday. This was the people that were on the letter, but in court, who was it that confirmed it and testified in court? Erica, Erica Jensen confirmed the authenticity. And who's she with?

Starting point is 01:26:00 Who, what do you mean who's she with? Who is she with? She's the current FBI agent. Oh yeah. And these are all former CIA people. Yeah, they're all CIA people. But this is the FBI, current FBI was the lady that testified. Thank God. Yeah, and they had to prove. So that proves finally without a shadow of a doubt that it's real. And also about the trial, prosecutors in the Hunter Biden trial revealed to the jury that Hunter Biden didn't just sleep with his dead brother's wife, Haley Biden, but also had

Starting point is 01:26:31 her hooked on crack cocaine. This guy is such a gem, he's such an amazing guy and she's to testify today, PBD, but guess who visited her a couple days ago to talk to her to kind of let her know, hey listen, don't do this, don't do that. Joe Biden. The big guy. The big guy. The big guy. So I just want everybody to know every time you see one of your friends that's talking

Starting point is 01:26:51 like how we speak about they've been doing this forever, the rush of collusion was fake. This was all fake. COVID we questioned. This is a conspiracy. They all got together. They conspired to keep you guys from having information that would have changed the vote. And what was the percentage, Rob? The percentage of people that wouldn't have voted for Biden, Pat, was what?

Starting point is 01:27:10 What was it? Do you remember? I've heard it's 20%. 20%? Wouldn't have voted for Biden? How many people would not have voted for Biden if they found out the laptop was real? The number was 67. It was a big number that, no, it's not wouldn't have. Would have influenced the

Starting point is 01:27:26 way they voted was 67%. That's how it was worded, I believe. Vinny, what's your point? I see what you're doing. What's your point? So my point is when we say that they cheated and they colluded, besides the voting in Georgia and Wisconsin and all that, the government, the government that, mind you, under Obama, this is Obama and all these people's government, right? They all colluded, they all got together and said, we have to keep this laptop and the contents, because the contents show all the dealings, all the stuff, all the perversion that he's doing, all the emails with the father. Dude, God knows what's on there, Adam. So for a government to keep that... Recorded Zoom calls with foreign government with foreign governments, it's china

Starting point is 01:28:05 It's ukraine and for them to systematically go and keep it from us and now what four years later He's already done his term now. We get to hear it. They that's a conspiracy by definition Okay, you guys kept it from us and we because by the way, this is just one thing that's coming out that he's a degenerate There's there's it's a hard drive of shit on there. So what do you think should happen now? I think every single one of them should be charged. What do you what Adam it was it was a Set up a conspiracy You're a consume conspired to keep information from the people that put somebody in place of every single one of them You mean 15 names on one names. I know who would charge them? What do you mean? The same government. These are

Starting point is 01:28:47 all ex-CIA, ex-everybody. Our government. The DOJ? 100% because I don't- Do you trust the DOJ? Guess who I trust? And I love that you said that. That's why people like James Comey and today who's at Andy McCabe are crapping in their pants warning everybody. Andy McCabe, the FBI guy, I think he was, director came out yesterday, he's like, we gotta stop him, you know why? Because Donald Trump's gonna hold all of them accountable, every single one of them.

Starting point is 01:29:12 Those documents that they were looking for at Mar-a-Lago were the crossfire documents. All the Russia, all the shit. Crossfire hurricane. Crossfire hurricane, he has all of it, and they're shitting in their pants. Okay, if he comes in, that's what he should do. Day number one, all right guys, remember Russia collusion? I'm going after everybody, that's why they're shitting in their pants. Okay, if he comes in, that's what he should do. Day number one.

Starting point is 01:29:25 All right guys, remember Russia collusion? I'm going after everybody. That's why they're shitting in their pants. We need accountability. By the way, can you pull up that one article, Rob? I just texted you. The 8 out of 10. Do you have that one that says 8 out of 10? You had it a minute ago, Rob. If you can just pull that up. The link was texted to you. This article here says the following before he pulls it up. This is on congress.gov. This is on congress.gov. This is not like a regular website. Shocking poll. Eight in ten think Biden laptop cover-up changed the election. This is August 24, 2022. Go to the link so the audience knows what the link it is. Show them the link at the top. If we can zoom in, it says congress.gov.

Starting point is 01:30:12 This is not a regular site that we're talking about. Zoom in. Zoom into the story, if you could, Rob. The best way, just for framing, if I just minimize the screen right here, that way people can see right there. I can't actually zoom in. Okay, got it. No, no, what I'm saying is zoom into the story.

Starting point is 01:30:24 That's all I'm saying now at this point. It's fine. So zoom into the story. Let me read it again. Eight in 10 think Biden laptop coverup changed the election. These names you just read off that the audience is either listening to or watching you're driving whatever you're doing. These were not some associate working there. These were senior officials former directors senior directors These were decision makers saying there was nothing in the laptop and that influenced the 2020 Election that they now want to sit there and say nah, it's not a big come on people wouldn't have voted differently Nothing would have happened to there is a yesterday. Comey was on

Starting point is 01:31:03 Comey was on who's the girl that had Trump on the on, Comey was on, who's the girl that had Trump on the white dress? No, no, who's the girl with the white dress on CNN? Kaitlyn Abash? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Starting point is 01:31:17 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Okay, Colin that girl Casey DC. Let me see and she had Andy they say last night last night Andy McCabe Yeah, on their crime. So call me so two different stories Mansion said there's no way Trump's going to jail. You know what call me said though what call me said Can you go to this clip Rob go on CNN's YouTube channel? It's right there on the bottom. You're actually on that clip That's the clip right there. Okay, but but I don't know where it's how many minutes is it? Oh, this is only 23 seconds play to see what the clip. This is this is from yesterday play that clip We're living in a really strange time

Starting point is 01:31:52 It must be a weird time to be a conspiracy theorist clip on Fox News And you hear these people screaming at the Attorney General about weaponizing and the next story is about the department prosecuting the president's son for heaven's sakes So we live in a strange time, but it's one where people have to understand what that's like. Donald Trump cannot return to that office. What's the big deal about that statement? So for him to say, you go like meaning he's downplaying what's going on with Biden's son and highlighting what's going on with Biden's son and of course they are highlighting what's going on with Trump but if you if you watch what he says at the end she asked him what are the chances he goes to jail and he says I think is that the

Starting point is 01:32:32 one Rob that he says going to jail or no on this is a defendant who's begging for a jail term is that the one this is the one play this clip and she I don't know if it's gonna show when she asked him do you think he'll go to jail go ahead Donald Trump since you know I've last seen you on CNN has now become the first former president to become a convicted felon you predicted before the verdict came down as the jury was still celebrating as the case is still being presented that he could potentially be convicted do you believe it's likely that the judge will sentence him to jail in this situation?

Starting point is 01:33:07 I don't know. I would ordinarily say it's unlikely, in a white collar offense of this sort, but this is a defendant who's begging for a jail term by taking a flamethrower, not just to the judge, but to the entire process and the jury. A judge will take that very seriously into consideration in deciding whether to deter

Starting point is 01:33:25 this person and to send a message more broadly, he needs to spend some time behind bars. Oh, these, these, listen to me, this guy, these, that is- Did you hear that? Yeah, that's it. He's a scumbag, Pat. That's the deep, when Trump talks about the deep state and the swamp, that is exactly who he's talking about. The John Brennan, the two main guys that I read off, John Brennan, the former CIA director, and James Clapper, former director of national intelligence. These guys know what they were doing.

Starting point is 01:33:54 They all, dude, the accountability. For instance, Hillary Clinton, you guys have, I think you're gonna know, but Tom, don't say nothing. Adam, how much did you think, how much trouble did Hillary and the DNC get into for literally fabricating this fake dossier and having the FBI and everybody do all the stir up the entire Russian collusion that we all had to go through that I'm pretty sure you believe at the beginning, but now I know you don't. What was the punishment for her

Starting point is 01:34:19 guilty? It was her, the dossier was all set up with her and the DNC. What was the punishment? Yeah, that's a good question because she didn't really pay a price and I'm wondering why Trump didn't go after her while he had four years of office. Because you'd be in jail. You know what she got? $8,000 fine and the DNC got $120,000 slap on the wrist, goodbye. That is again another conspiracy, nothing happens to them because they're protected by that same deep state and it's absolutely ridiculous. That's why I'm praying to God that Trump wins just to come in and clean house, please. Because if it doesn't happen, I've lost all faith.

Starting point is 01:34:55 Did you hear Hannity yesterday asking Trump about what he's going to do to clean house? No, please. Oh, you didn't see that? No, I didn't see it. I didn't see it. And he asked him twice He asked him twice are you going to do anything to and Trump kept in and Hannity kept going back. Is that the one Rob? Where he pledges to end the practice of the weaponization of the justice system play it play it to see if that's the one Play this clip and I'll find the other one. Well, you pledge to restore. This is it.

Starting point is 01:35:26 Equal justice, equal application of our laws. End this practice of weaponization. Is that a promise you're gonna make? You have to do it, but it's awful. I know you want me to say something serious. No, I don't want you to say it, I'm asking. But I don't want to look naive. I don't want to.

Starting point is 01:35:42 What they've done to the Republican Party, they want to arrest on no crime, they want to arrest the person that won the nomination in a landslide. It was nobody even close in a landslide. The person that got millions of votes, more votes than any other sitting president in history in the last election, the person that won an election that he wasn't expected to win against Hillary Clinton in 2016, they want to arrest that person on no crime. They want to arrest, there was no crime.

Starting point is 01:36:15 There was no criminality, there was no crime. And you can go back to all of these legal scholars. They can't believe what's happening. Some of them don't even like me and they're saying, this is a very, very dangerous thing that's happening. No, we can't let this happen. And I will do everything in my power not to let, but there's tremendous criminality here.

Starting point is 01:36:35 What they're doing to me, if it's gonna continue, we're really not gonna have much of a country left. Can I ask you a question too? Cause Tom, me and you, we spoke about this last night at dinner. He's going to come in, what do you think, two questions, what do you think he's going to really do, especially with the facts that we have that they actually conspired and they've

Starting point is 01:36:55 been conspiring since 2016 with Obama's DOJ? Number one. Number two, when it comes to, this is what we hit on yesterday, the JFK, how many documents did they say Tommy that haven haven't been 17 documents? There's like 17 specific documents is a number that came up that was the ones that three consecutive presidents says, no, we're not going to let those go. And then bet there's been others of the JFK documents that came out that Oswald really went to Russia and it's no longer speculation.

Starting point is 01:37:22 So there's things that have leaked out, but then every president, including Trump, Trump said, uh, those, I don't think we're going to let go out. Okay. And then after saying, why not let them go out? Then they see it and say, I don't think so. Well, because a couple of days ago, I think he was, I forgot who interviewed him. I think it was three people on a panel. Uh, and he was asked, if he will, do you think Tom, what, what do you think is on that?

Starting point is 01:37:44 Cause he said he was going to release it. I think think is on that because he said he was gonna release it I think this is the second time he said he did he didn't which actually pissed me off Why wouldn't he want to release it Tom the JFK files? Yes, because those last documents conclusive will most likely yes conclusively show that The CIA through Alan Dulles worked with with LBJ, and it was as simple as that. And that they got together and said, you know what? We've got to take this guy out. We've got to take this guy out.

Starting point is 01:38:10 Yeah. So my point is, BBD, I hope it's not all talk, because this is the actual thing. Is this it, Rob? Yes. Can we hear this 13 seconds? Would you declassify the 9-11 files? Yeah. Would you declassify JFK files?

Starting point is 01:38:23 Yeah. I did a lot of it. Would you declassify the Epstein files? Yeah, yeah Attorney General About you have to think about that's crazy. He had to think about that one. He said he'd released a 9-eleven the JFK He said he did a couple I want to see the rest of them. But with the Epstein he paused. Is that crazy? He paused I don't think he's do the he hung out with the Epstein he paused. Is that crazy? He paused. I don't think he's dude He he hung out with the guy. He never flew to the island But I just I just hope it's not all talk because I want to see the documents

Starting point is 01:38:52 That's what I want to see and I want people to be held accountable Beyond beyond this what I hope that we also get to is the metafiles and the YouTube files just like my Matt Taibbi was brave enough to be the journalist that released the Twitter files. And I think we need to see all that so that in the plain light of day, we can see how our government inappropriately worked with an industry, media that influenced our votes.

Starting point is 01:39:25 I have a few questions. Yes. By the way, I just, where I'm at, everyone who watches the podcast knows that I'm at this point, completely like in the middle. I just want things to be fair. You know, Vinny love you, love your passion. Obviously you're literally just said I'm praying for Trump to be president. You're on team Trump.

Starting point is 01:39:48 That's great. I was in percent. I've already said there's no way I can vote for Biden. So I've already admonished that I am seriously considering RFK and I am seriously considering Trump. But let's just like in that same interview, you know, you know, I say that, you know, numbers don't lie. Either does the videotape. He said, you know, you know, people say that, you know, numbers don't lie either does the videotape.

Starting point is 01:40:05 He said, you know, you know, people were telling him screaming, lock her up. You know, I never said it. These people I told him and then they showed a montage of him saying a million times, let's lock her up. She belongs in jail. So there's a difference between what you say to the media versus what you say in court. So when you, when you lie in court, it's called perjury. So my question simply is this so the weaponization of the justice system

Starting point is 01:40:29 So I think the point that coming was making is the same justice system that is going after Trump is actually going after Hunter Biden so it's like which which one is it? But here's my question The who made the decision on Trump? Meaning what? Who found him guilty? Right now? In the court?

Starting point is 01:40:51 The Marshawn? Was that who it was? No, that's the judge. Oh yeah. Who found him guilty? The jury, but I have no idea who those people from New York? The 12 jurors. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:41:00 Wait, you mean the ones that the judge was like, no, go back in there. By the way, he was pan-feeding them and telling them, it doesn't have to be unanimous, you can find this. Allegedly. I see where he's going. So we can attack in a second. OK, yeah, Adam, it was a jury in New York, found them guilty. Keep going.

Starting point is 01:41:15 So, come on. Tom, so what are the chances the jury was compromised? What are the chances? Because have you ever been to jury duty? Of course I have. The defense and the prosecution both get to pick of course they don't want in there who they want in there. Yes. So my first question is how much of this decision is on the actual jury? And then when it goes to appeals, if he wins,

Starting point is 01:41:41 do you trust that jury more than this jury? I'll trust the Supreme Court because they've proven that's a good jury. Listen, like you said, one side gets a picket. Who are these people? If you think about the end of the day, you're actually not supposed to know who they are. But a lot of people are basically doxing the jurors. If they're all from New York, though, I have a feeling, bro. I don't know. I don't I don't trust.

Starting point is 01:42:02 By the way, I was at jury duty. You know what I mean? And I saw the people that were in there with me You should have heard the stuff that I heard that they could give two shits So so what you're saying is you can't trust any jury you can't trust I don't trust the judge I don't if I don't trust the judge So I don't trust the president if I don't trust the Department of Justice. That's why we had this conversation We're we're you don't you don't trust them because of the decision. No, I don't. Hold on. First of all, what crime did he commit? Can you tell me what crime

Starting point is 01:42:27 he actually committed? Yeah. So what I'm saying is you can't, you can't basically trust or untrust the system just because of the results. Again, I don't want to see Trump in jail. You're not talking to somebody who's basically saying lock him up. I'm saying the following. If they made a decision that he was innocent, would you then trust the jury? Would you then trust the judge? So you only trust the jury and trust the judge if they come to the decision that you want. Do you know who appointed these guys? The AG and all them?

Starting point is 01:42:58 It's George Soros. No, hold on. George Soros. They didn't appoint the jurors. No, no, no, no. But hold on. Yes. The crime, the crime, the Alvin Bragg, the entire thing is corrupt. Was Alvin Bragg pretty compromised? It would seem so. Alam, from the top down. But my point, I'm going- That's not who I'm asking about.

Starting point is 01:43:13 I'm asking about the jurors. I don't know who they are, Adam. That's the point. You're not supposed to know who they are. Well, I'm saying- But what I'm asking you is the next time that he has an appeals and these jurors, you don't don't know they are if they find him innocent Are you saying well those jurors I trust them. No, no, I hope you're already making the determination without facts Here's my thing and I'll end with this I'll hope that I'll hope that the system and the the American person themselves can see that it's all Bullshit if we're gonna be honest with each other and Adam from the top from the top from bullshit if we're going to be honest with each other and Adam from the top from the top from 2016.

Starting point is 01:43:44 But it wouldn't be bullshit if they found a menace. No, no, no, hold on. But going back to my original point, can we stick to the main thing? Do you trust the Department of Justice, the CIA, the FBI who colluded to stop a president from becoming the president? And that's what they got caught with. That's a different subject. I'm asking about the jurors.

Starting point is 01:44:03 Adam, do I trust those guys? They're going to have to be held accountable. I'm with you. I'm asking about the jurors. I Adam I trust those guys They're gonna have to be held accountable. I'm with you. I don't trust the judge. I don't trust a judge Talking to the jurors alone saying this hey guys listen to me. Look at me You don't have to unanimously find this this this this illegal activity All you guys have to do is find one thing one thing and then we'll go after him I don't trust that was this Adam Adam. I see what you're gonna do it I think we should move on the first of all find me You know, they're liberals move on. Thanks Tom

Starting point is 01:44:32 There are liberal and conservative scholars that are all out there saying that this was a fairly flawed process There are people that are saying that there were demonstrable conflicts on many of the actors the judge the DA The DA running for political office saying, when I get there, I'm going to get him back to the dam. I'm in agreement with you on this. The judge donated to Joe Biden, $15. Now you have a flawed process going down and suddenly it gets washed clean because you have a jury of your peers.

Starting point is 01:44:59 The jury is part of the flawed process here because the way the jury instructions, 53 page jury instruction that was read to them twice that they weren't allowed to have a copy of, that they asked several comments about, he gave them instructions on how to parse and deliberate over the individual charges. And you find left, right, and center legal scholars that are saying, this thing is in and out of appeal and tossed. It's the same denial that they that the liberals had about the Colorado case. Yay, we can keep them off the ballot. But even their own legal scholars were saying, man, if this thing goes through appeal too quick, it's going to get tossed and we're not going to get what we want, which is him off the ballot. This was a flawed case in New York. And when

Starting point is 01:45:44 it goes through appeal and it might not have a, yeah, I don't think it's going to have a jury in the court of appeals, the circuit courts and scholars all over the place say this is going to get taught. I'm going to ask you a 10 second question. We can move on. I actually hope he gets acquitted. I hope he does. So I'm giving that. That's a statement or or question in there somewhere. So, but if the appeals finds him guilty, would you still say it's a flawed process? The yes, it's still a flawed process.

Starting point is 01:46:14 So you've already said he's innocent no matter what. I'm already making the determination that the whole thing's flawed. So there you go. Well, the crime didn't exist. I like the way you testify for other people. That's so flawed everybody listening I'm just I'm just saying clearly you guys are biased. I think I don't want him to be found guilty, but I'm also saying well, you're kidding. I'm also gonna watch the evidence I'm not just gonna be like, of course, he's innocent. I'm praying for him to be acquitted. It's like no, it doesn't work that way Adam why is he in court? I don't get I I don't get, I honestly don't understand how you don't understand. It's all political. This whole

Starting point is 01:46:49 thing is bullshit and you don't get it. You're worried about the jury. He shouldn't be in court. Can you at least, can you agree to that? He doesn't belong in court. Do I hook a payment period? Do you think yes or no? Does he belong in court? Well, let's turn the page. Did he misappropriate campaign funds? No, he didn't. There's no crime. Here's my problem. I love you. You have zero credibility because you're wishing and praying for somebody. I have more credibility because I'm like, let's look at what's called Adam. Let's see what happens. See how you're doing it. Filibuster. Yes or no. Does he belong?

Starting point is 01:47:26 Did this case? Let me ask you one simple question. You can't answer. Is Trump 100% innocent? No. Hold on. In this case, yes. Okay, that's it.

Starting point is 01:47:34 But you haven't answered my question. The answer is I don't know. Adam, but you don't know. I actually want to see some evidence. I want to see a court of law. Can you focus and answer my question? Because you're filibustering. You're a compromise.

Starting point is 01:47:42 You're a perfect Democrat. I'm not a Democrat. I'm a registered independent. Yes or no. Who's actually impartial. Adam You're a perfect Democrat. I'm not a Democrat. I registered independent. Yes or no. Who's actually impartial. Adam, yes. Like how you should be on a jury. You're still showing us a hell of a relapse. Yes or no? Does Trump belong, did this case belong, did this case have to go to court? Guys, I know you're doing a little Trump circle jerk over here. No, I'm actually looking at facts. Wow. You can't answer the question. You can't answer the question. Yes or no?

Starting point is 01:48:05 Should this have been a trial to keep him off the campaign trail? OK, you're asking, do I want the president of the United States to be in court? No. I'm trying to be clear. I'm saying the case. I'm not talking about Biden. I'm talking about Trump.

Starting point is 01:48:16 Do I want him to be innocent? Yes. Do I want the president to be marred in court? No, I don't. Stop defending. Do I have the ability to be like, I'm on Team Trump and he's never done anything wrong. He would never lie. I never said that. I never said that. No, you still can't answer the question. He does not belong in court. End the story by F the jury, F everybody. I don't know how you can speak Vinny with Trump's dang so far in your mouth right now. Adam, you voted for Joe Biden. Yeah, but now you voted for fucking Joe Biden. Are you talking to me about Trump? That means I have no credibility. You voted for Hillary and you voted for Joe Biden and you're talking shit to me. So my past, because

Starting point is 01:48:52 I did vote for them? Yeah, it says a lot about you. Does it mean, okay. And Trump, tell me Trump, isn't that ten times it? No, who the fuck voted for, I didn't vote for fuck none of those losers. Period. Trump is the first person I voted for so you're the best president period Okay, name a better one what I'm saying Bill Bill as far as what goes do you want to go? Do you want to say a proof? Adam you're talking about nuts in the face. You know what you should say. Yeah instead of angry patriot Emotional angry Patriot. Yeah, your ability, my brother, has gone out the window. You can't even answer a question.

Starting point is 01:49:27 You still have an answer to the question. They don't cheat, Adam. They don't cheat. They all cheat. No, they don't. Yeah, Trump cheats. How, like, okay, so how many Americans right now are having these types of fiery conversations? If they're not, they should be.

Starting point is 01:49:43 How many families, brothers, siblings, co-workers, how many people are having conversations like this? How many people are having this where one side is saying dude, should he even be there? And the other side is saying show me the jury, show me what the jury did, show me the proof, show me the this, show me the that. I can only imagine the amount of stuff like that that's taking place right now. But at the same time, you got the other side where he actually has done stuff. Nothing's happening to him right now. Half of America is furious because Joe Biden and him saying, I told the judge, I told him

Starting point is 01:50:19 if you don't do this, I'm not going to give you the money, I'm not going to give you that on a videotape. It's not like that's not recorded. That's on a video bragging about the amount of power that he has and the stuff that he's done. What's happening with them to be held accountable? What's going to happen with Hunter Biden? Who knows?

Starting point is 01:50:36 Are they going to come out and say, well, you know, he really didn't do that because he was on drugs and that's why we got to let the case go? I mean, you have to know the trust in DOJ, CIA, FBI is the lowest for a reason. That's not accidental. That is coming from somewhere. Where it is, who knows? And by the way, way before we got Twitter files,

Starting point is 01:50:58 when did Twitter files come out, Rob? When did Twitter files come out? 22? Exact date, like when was Twitter fouls? March 22. December 2022. 15 months. When was the New York Post, Twitter, not allowing Hunter Biden's laptop story to go out?

Starting point is 01:51:15 October 2020. October 2020? October 2020. So you go, from October 2020, it took us 26 months to find out the truth that they were full of shit. Okay? That's how long it took us. So now while we're arguing about this, Russia collusion, a lot of people bought into it.

Starting point is 01:51:37 How long did it take to realize that was fake? Three years. Three years? Yeah, three years, four years, something like that. How long did it take us to realize that Twitter, you know, New York Post story was, you know, they were internally, they were home 26 months. How long will it take us that there were people on this year? It may be two, three, four, five, six years, but whoever that said there was nothing going on is going to have to eat their warts, if it does. Vice versa for whatever it is.

Starting point is 01:52:06 It's just pretty weird what they're doing to this guy. And what did Bill Clinton pay for hush money? How much? $850,000? What was the number? $800,000? She even held a checkup, right? I love this.

Starting point is 01:52:18 There's a picture to put the checkup. What happened to him? What did they do to him? Did he become a convicted felon? Did anything happen there? No, what do you mean? I don't know. I mean, there's so many different things. Juanita Broderick said he raped, he freaking sexually assaulted her and raped her. Let's go through this next story and then maybe we'll got a couple more minutes and we'll wrap up.

Starting point is 01:52:34 So listen, if you're a comedian and you tell jokes about a father's kid in the way that this man did, you may have somebody coming and facing you here shortly as well. Rob, if you got the clip, play the clip first, but actually before playing the clip Vinny, why don't you tell us what's going on with this clip here? Okay, so a Spanish comedian was attacked mid-show by a father who accused him, it was actually real, of making sexualized comments about his three-month-old son. Jamie Caravaca, a Spanish comedian who was right in the middle performing during a show in Madrid on Monday Monday was attacked by the father who walked

Starting point is 01:53:06 On stage and clocked the hell out of it. That's the tweet go back to the tweet Oh, that's the picture of the father and the son and then he comments below So that's Jamie and you do it for people that know how to speak Spanish. I'm gonna break it down Just very short it says nothing and no one can prevent the possibility that his son is gay And when he grows up he gets tired of sucking black you fill in the blank. That's what the comedian is writing about his three month old son because the father wrote pride and joy at the top.

Starting point is 01:53:32 Do they know each other at all or not? I think the comedian knows him because the father's a right wing guy and the comedian's a LGBTQ plus whatever the hell he is. Let's just see what happens here with the show. This is him coming to his stand-up comedy show He's like, talk that crap now. Yeah, do it now. Yeah, say it on my face. He's like, I ain't no problem with you guys.

Starting point is 01:54:20 I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 01:54:30 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 01:54:38 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I did that hand slap. Boom. So think about it, a three month old baby and you say stuff like he's going to grow up.

Starting point is 01:54:50 Words have consequences. Listen, I had one time a drunk guy tried to walk on stage and I kicked him right in his chest. It was at the Haha Comic Club. I just BOP! So Vinny, who's in the right and who's in the wrong here? You're a comedian, you know, you also get a lot of love and hate online. Well, here's my thing. I mean, attacking a comedian on stage, you know, you also get a lot of love and hate online. Well, I mean, here's my thing. I mean, attacking a comedian on stage, you have the right to fight back. But any listen, I don't have kids.

Starting point is 01:55:09 But I can only imagine if that was just my niece or my nephew and you got you guys are fathers. So I'm pretty sure you guys know, if you posted something on Twitter or X, I mean, and somebody put he's going to grow up and probably be gay and he's going to be sucking black, you know what? I don't know about you two. I'm going to find him as well. What would you do?

Starting point is 01:55:27 Yeah, of course. You would go find the guy and beat him up? I would probably do something like that. You would do that? Yeah. If that was my kid, yes. What are we talking about? Tom.

Starting point is 01:55:35 Look, the price of freedom of speech is free speech. And you may hate what a comedian says. You may just make your blood boil. But you know, it's free speech. Now, if he's inciting, if he's doxing and inciting violence and things like that, I'm gonna take steps and protect my family. Yeah. And I will. But you know what? If you've determined that you need to go door to door and punch everybody in the mouth that says something horrible, you know what? You'll have no time for anything else in your life because you'd be too busy punching people. And I think we need to accept that, you know, comedy is free speech.

Starting point is 01:56:27 And if you don't like what the guy said online, you can block him, you can mute him, you can turn it off. It doesn't mean that guy's not pissed off. And for people that would walk over the line, I think comedians need to understand your words may have consequences. They may not be legal. Yeah, of course. But you know, your jaw gets broken, you don't have healthcare, and that's a consequence you leave with, even if the

Starting point is 01:56:48 other guy's guilty of assault. Yeah. So I think words have consequences, and if you're going to be a comedian, you can't just sit behind free speech. That may be the legal thing, but there may be people angry enough to meet you and pop you. Yeah. Especially when it comes to, dude, when it comes to a three- a three month old kid if that guy had a gun that would have been a whole different story. And by the way what if you what if you tick off somebody that is a little a little touched and a little little unstable and it's a knife or it's a gun or it's a brick and you're getting in your car at the end of the show. I actually love this story because I think this is completely indicative of where we are in society now

Starting point is 01:57:25 Here's this comedian Probably not a great comedian. I don't looks like he's doing a you know, open mic special on a Tuesday night You're not exactly a big crowd and He gets a little lippy like a lot of people in the comments section like to do from time to time But hate never comes from above it always comes from above. It always comes from below. It usually comes from people who are unhappy with their lives, fat, losers, broke, living home in their mom basement. And this is their outlet. This is their chance to tell the person out there

Starting point is 01:57:55 what's wrong with their life. But I'm actually on the side of the comedian, because I believe in free speech for the losers out there making comments, keep commenting. But because in a court of law, who's going to be in trouble here? The guy, the comedian with the horrible jokes and the stupid comments or the guy that whoops his ass, it's going to be the guy that whoops his ass. And just FYI, the cops, nobody pressed charges. The cops showed up. Okay. The comedian knew he got me. Because the comedian knew that he actually probably should get his ass whooped. You're talking about a guy's three month old baby

Starting point is 01:58:25 You know wishing him whatever The guy that showed up he'd be in trouble they'll assault for sure but we all emotionally understand Yes, the guy that made the comment is deserve sort of deserves Whooping yeah, and that's where we're at in society is that people feel very entitled to say whatever they want to anybody online. Until somebody shows up. Go show that, say that to somebody's face. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:58:50 Go people, Mike Tyson ain't shit. Go say that to Mike Tyson's face, buddy. Never happened. Okay. Oh, this guy's a criminal. He's a piece of shit. He's the go say that to somebody's face. Most people are not tough.

Starting point is 01:59:00 Most people actually need an ass whooping these days because they feel real entitled to say whatever they want online. Last point, Drake said in a famous line, I say it all the time, trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers. Everybody tough online. You get your little keyboard warriors, your drunk muscles, they're popping off. You ain't saying shit to anybody in real life. Yeah. I mean, listen, I totally understand the father and I understand the guy's right to freedom of speech, but I also understand the dad that came and put an ass whooping on I Applaud you Mr. Whoever you are out there, you know protecting your kid Albert. I Applaud you even though you were guilty

Starting point is 01:59:40 Because people have to know certain things you can't cross the line with, families being one of them. Unfortunately, as you have more, as you have kids later on in life, people gonna do things to your kids that every time Tico goes to school or Dylan goes to school, I got two girls. Every time somebody says something to my girls, I have to go to school and kick their ass. It's gonna be a very difficult life. Pat, I was just gonna ask you that. No, wait, guys, another podcast canceled. What happened? We canceled on July.

Starting point is 02:00:04 Passed out for three weeks. but why you vacation you'd be very busy You'd be so busy kicking people's ass she can't do the bug real talk You know that there's you know certain red lines here. Yeah, if you actually Emotionally reacted to every comment bro. How many ass whoopings would you give out? Yeah, but I think this is deeper. If there has to be a relationship there where you're doing that, don't get me wrong. I mean, I understand, you know, I get it all the time. I get a lot of dumb comments from a lot of different people

Starting point is 02:00:35 that, you know, we've been getting this for long. When you run a business and you start winning, you're gonna get a lot of weird comments. But I understand, with the father, why he did what he did and in a way I respect it. In a way I respect the fact that he's doing that. I want to go to the next one here Rob, I want you to pull this story up so when I'm reading it, I want the audience to read together. I want to read you a bedtime story and this is the drag queen, the Daily Mail.

Starting point is 02:01:00 If you can go to actual, if you can actually go to the link of the story, Rob, that'd be great. Go to the store. Let's read this together. Okay. Crew, a drag queen with very crude name performs in front of children at Maine Pride event. Now let's read this together, Rob, if you can go to the part where I can read the name of the drag queen right there.

And plus size

Starting point is 02:01:59 means big. Let's see what he says. We're celebrating the youth, our queer elders, and all of us together. Why is drag story time so important? I think a lot of times like with myself in particular like when I do drag story time I'm very like I choose out books that have a message or have themes that... Yeah, you're baptizing. ...the kids... Grooming. It's called grooming.

Starting point is 02:02:30 ...can take from. Like, recently I did one that was all about pronouns. I think it's a beautiful thing. Because if everyone can put on whatever gender... So, what do you think about Leta? First of all, your name is Leta Dickens. You're going in front of children. If that is not indoctrination and trying to... Kibale, they're not having kids. You think that beast in the middle is ever having kids? No, he wants your kids. They want your kids to be

So there's the Pride parade in West Hollywood. There's a outside just and just please explain to me. You know, there's kids there. You know, there's families, you know, there's people. First of all, hold on, Adam, that might be you. And I don't know if that's Adam in the middle. But like, before you play it, there's a gay guy on the live panel and the co-host asked him what is his favorite part of this Pride event. So you just at the Pride event in Orlando? Adam, that's neither here nor there.

Starting point is 02:03:28 No, we have images of you at the Pride event in Orlando. Hold on. While I was at a model competition with hundreds of hot chicks in Miami. Can we get to the story?

First of all, let's show the image of the guy that voted for Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Let me, can I watch this? But let's, first of all, how is this?

Starting point is 02:04:06 Do your stand up comedy and bomb. Go ahead. Let's listen to you do stand up. Does everybody want more of this? Adam, shut up and let me play the video. So I want to explain to the people. Play the video of you on the truck. Play the video, Rod.

Starting point is 02:04:33 I loved going out there and seeing all the kids. And they cut it. So he likes seeing all the kids. So here's my thing. They want to sexualize the children. How is that, people in G-String, if that was a normal day that wasn't June would that be tolerated I'm asking you guys like honestly if that wasn't June what does this have to do about being proud about being gay I don't understand the sexualization you

Starting point is 02:04:57 know that there's children and I hate and if the family if you bring your kids to some shit like that child services should visit you and have a talk to you You know what they're going to get you know what they're going to see Tom. It's nudity and it's and it's hyper sexualization that that behavior This is nothing there in g-string standing on the fire truck, right? Have if you've seen the videos of the guys with their asses and their Naked dicks out in front of kids and people always go well the parents parents brought them, then get the parents in trouble too. Everybody should be like, look at that behavior. Like what are we talking about?

Starting point is 02:05:29 What does that have to do with you being proud for the accomplishment, for what gay people, look at that shit. No, no, no, whoever's in the back, can you show this clip? Yeah. So go back to this clip, look at the kids, look at the kids right in front of you.

Starting point is 02:05:42 This is last year. Look, what the, what are you doing? Look, you don't think that's gonna be cemented in their head? two things one that's in front of Capitol Grill look at the Capitol Grill that's a bad look for Capitol Grill. Two that guy belongs in jail for doing that to the kids three the parents that brought the kids out. What the hell are you thinking? But by the way, to me, 100% of the responsibility is on the parents. I'm putting 100% of the responsibility on the parents.

Starting point is 02:06:15 What is this guy doing? Let's turn this off. Yeah. So Rob just ran the funniest poll by the way. Rob ran the funniest poll I just saw. He says, who is more likely to go to a gay parade a pride parade Adam or Vinny now you know the stupid results well of course the results 98% it's almost like people to have no clue what I do in Miami and South Beach we do we do we do that's okay for you it's okay I want your guys honest opinion cuz you said 100%

Starting point is 02:06:45 losers in the poll Adam you said cuz I wanted your genuine your guys's opinion the parents 100% right but for the guys that are still doing it knowing that they're kids shouldn't they have some responsibility too I think they should the parents for sure no no no if laws allow for him to do it. It's not on that guy So what's the law? So what's the law about like? I've seen them with their ass asses out and their penis is out. How is that legal because if it's a month I wish that we had a lawyer here, but I'll say one thing this should be criminalized for the lewd and lecidious conduct

Starting point is 02:07:18 Thank you disgusting. Thank you that a guy would even have that it like alright. I see kids here Let me twerk with tidy whitey's. By the way, I don't know what anybody that wears tidy whitey's anymore other than Tom. But the point is this, I didn't know they made those that big. Oh my God. But I do believe again, free market capitalism, freedom to buy freedom to sell freedom to try freedom to fail, fail. But it's on the parents, bro. Why, like, if I'm, if my kids are here, and I'm with my kids, I'm up with my nephew, with my sister's son, and I see this,

Starting point is 02:07:49 dude, we're out of here. What are we doing here? Yeah, yeah. And then pushing them to the front. What are we doing over here? So at what point did gay rights, I, look, when Harvey Milk was doing his thing in the 70s, whatever,

Starting point is 02:08:01 Congratulations. I could just only imagine that they were actually marching for rights. Yes. This is no longer gay rights. This is full on degeneracy. I love that you said that. And that's what it is. That's what it is. But if these guys want to be idiots and twerking just be fat naked bears out there doing their thing, they can do that. That's actually not illegal. But the kids there stay away from the freaking kids. That's on the parents. Yeah. Why would they take them there? I think it's on the parents. Why would they take them there? I think it's on the parents.

Starting point is 02:08:28 And by the way, if laws like this exist, a guy sent me something the other day, which I thought was very weird. By the way, Manect is becoming a tool where a lot of people are sending us stuff to look at, to bring up for the next stories. This one guy sent me something very, very interesting, which was weird. Rob, I want to send this to you, and I want you to pull this out. me something very, very interesting, which was weird. Okay, Rob, I want to send this to you, and I want you to pull this up. By the way, some of you guys are like, no, there are laws against this and that stuff.

Starting point is 02:08:51 You cannot be doing this. Can you show everybody's Manek Vinny, or Adam, or Tom, and let them know there is something like this that you cannot be behaving this way? We'd love to know. If you're a lawyer watching this, send us a Menech, we wanna know about it. However, probably. Public indecency. Somebody sent me this a couple days ago

Starting point is 02:09:10 where I'm like, wait a minute, is this even real? Like you almost have to ask the question if this is real. And it has to do from, Rob, if you can pull this up, this is from democratshomeland.house.gov news. Okay, if you can pull up the story I just sent you, I wanna read it to everybody. Just kinda weird. So this is a month ago, six weeks ago.

Starting point is 02:09:35 Ranking member Thompson introduces legislation to ensure no secret service protection for convicted felons sentenced to prison. This just came out a month and a half before they announced he's a convicted felon. What does this mean? Who knows? Let's read it. Today, Representative Benny G. Thompson, Democrat, ranking member of the Committee of Homeland

Starting point is 02:10:00 Security introduced the denying of infinite security and government resources allocated towards convicted and extremely dishonorable former protectees act or disgraced former protectees act. This legislation would reform the U.S. Secret Service Protective Mission by automatically terminating Secret Service protection for those who have been sentenced to prison, following conviction for a federal or state felony Clarifying that prison authorities would be responsible for protection of all inmates regardless Unfortunately, current law doesn't anticipate so how Secret Service protection would immediate impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee even a former president

Starting point is 02:10:43 Even a former president it is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously thought of scenario could become our reality. Therefore it's necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so that the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time and require them. Hence this legislation is co-sponsored by Representative Tony Carter, Barbara Lee, Frederica Wilson, Yvette D. Clark, Bonnie Watson, Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, you know

Starting point is 02:11:18 who that is? I know exactly who she is. Joyce Beatty and Steve Cohen. So let me get this straight. What is the one thing we've been talking about that we have to be careful with? Remember the night that we did the convicted felon podcast? We had whatever 66,000 live concurred listen to the podcast and we- Oh, the reaction. The reaction video that we did on whatever the night was. It was some night. It could

Starting point is 02:11:37 have been a Monday night. I don't know what night it was, but we did it. Rob, you wouldn't remember the day. Thursday. Thursday night. So how come no one's reported on this story so let me get this straight you know Comey said mansion said there's no way he's gonna go to jail Comey said there may and that's the part I wanted to find to show you guys because Comey says in that clip with that girl from CNN Comey says look the

Starting point is 02:12:04 way he's been disrespecting them, they could potentially put him in jail because he continues to insult. He's begging for jail sentence. He's continuing to insult and she keeps asking. You really believe, Rob, if you just go to CNN, if you just go to CNN and you pull up this clip, if you just go to CNN, you pull up the clip I just took, just go to CNN and you pull up this clip If you just go to CNN you pull up the clip I just take just go to CNN just go to YouTube type in CNN and type in call me you go there you go You got it. So zoom play the clip and go to the tail end of it

Starting point is 02:12:37 It's like two-thirds of way in and he keeps saying I don't know. I think because Trump keeps disrespecting I think he could go to jail. I don't know be the stuff, I don't know, I think because Trump keeps disrespecting, I think he could go to jail. I don't know, there's stuff that I don't know, he could go to jail, right? And remember, play the clip, he'll know what he told me he believes. ... nauseating similarities as he described it between how that report characterized President Biden while not charging him and with your actions in 2016 with respect to Hillary Clinton and her email investigation. Go forward a little bit. We tried to...

Starting point is 02:13:04 Why don't you listen to the individual and see if he can We tried to get in the wrong place. Why don't you listen to the individual and see if you can find her to bring you back to us. But here's what happened. Do you remember when two weeks ago they asked him, do you think he'll be convicted? What was his answer? For sure. So do you think he knew or do you think he's guessing?

Starting point is 02:13:18 I think he knew 100%. So watch this. If there's anybody that I pay attention to the words that are coming out of their mouth to see what's going to happen is this guy, because they're friends of his and they're calling him saying, what do you think? What should be careful? If he's saying that Trump could go to jail, you better bank on this 70% that he may go to jail on July 11th. So if on July 11th, which is two weeks after the debate,

Starting point is 02:13:48 if on July 11th, the judge who cannot stand Trump decides to put him in jail, then they have now a law to essentially try to remove Secret Service. What they're trying to, if, again, this is all guys, go do your own research. This then creates an environment Where now they can do what they can it's the last straw to be able to eliminate him Wow, this is my concern in prison with no Secret Service

Starting point is 02:14:15 Who's watching this is my concern regular freaking CEOs? And by the way, don't forget like when you think about sir hand sir hand,han, or we were talking about this briefly last night, these people were doing it to be heroes because they felt they were being patriotic to somebody. How many people out there that have not much going on with their lives that are willing to lose it all or willing to do something to be a hero to others that wish somebody would done that to them?

Starting point is 02:14:43 Especially after a movie like Civil War that comes out. So, to me, Rob, did you find the clip on what he says? I believe this is it. This is the clip from... Go ahead, play it. You think Judge Marshawn should take everything he said? I mean, he has called Judge Marshawn a tyrant. He likened him to the devil every day before he walked into that courtroom.

Starting point is 02:15:02 He said he was corrupt, baselessly. Do you think that the judge will take that into consideration when he does sentence him in a few weeks? I do, as well as him having to find that the defendant had acted in contempt of the court's orders on multiple occasions. All of that will be part of the picture that the judge looks at to decide

Starting point is 02:15:22 whether a message needs to be sent that involves jail. As a former FBI director, what's it like to see it? He's saying you better be quiet. Trump's not going to be quiet. If Trump's not quiet, Trump's going to go to jail. If Trump goes to jail, the definition of that article, which was what? A convicted felon that what?

Starting point is 02:15:43 What's the keyword? A convicted felon that what? What's the key word? A convicted felon that's sentenced to prison. So for this, that they, whatever this is from a month and a half ago that introduced this bill, April, what's the date again at the top? April 19th. For this bill to be activated, they would have to sentencing to prison.

Starting point is 02:16:02 Wow. And it also says, even a former president on the second line, Rob, can you put this link below in the chat so everybody can go look at this link for themselves? Do your due diligence, do your research. If you want to send us anything else on Manek, we're all around, but someone sent this to me. They don't want their names to be told, but I thought it was interesting that this has been so quietly, no one's talked about it. I'm curious to the status of this legislation that they announced. They introduced this bill. I wonder where it's at.

Starting point is 02:16:30 You know what I mean? That'd be a good question. All you need to do is get the bill number and it'll be HRC. And then it'll have like a five digit or four digit number after it and a letter usually. Is there a number for the bill? Anybody call it HRC? So House of Representatives 8081. And all you have to do is Google that and you'll see the status of it on any given day.

Starting point is 02:16:50 Is it coming up for a vote? How do people vote on it? Is it in committee and who's leading that committee? And then it gets handed off to the Senate. But HR 8081. Everybody you can check it every morning and keep your friends and everybody alert and aware of what's happening in the country around you. It's in progress.

Starting point is 02:17:09 It hasn't been knocked down. Disgrace Former Protectees Act. That's crazy. Oh, that's what they call it. Disgrace Former Protectees Act. Is that wild? Yeah. So, latest action, referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Starting point is 02:17:23 So it's gone to committee, and then after will come and then after committee the committee will let it come out for a vote of the White House. That's the next step. That's how the sausage is made. Yeah. You go pay close attention to it. Anyways guys, Rob, do we have another podcast tomorrow or no? Tomorrow 9 a.m. Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch. 9 a.m. from Judicial Watch. So this will be something that we'll talk about for sure with him when it comes out tomorrow. Take care everybody. Bye bye, bye bye.
