Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweet bit of dirty. I know this life man for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever signs. Right here. You are a 101?

My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before. Okay, we are officially live, folks. The reason why we're at this set, not our usual set, is because the last episode was a final episode we did in the old set. A new set is being built. When we're ready to reveal it, we'll let you know what the date's going to be. We're excited about it.

Our guest today, like, why do I get the old set? Our guest today, we made it screwed on this. Intentionally because it's retro. Our guest today fully believes you can do it. You can't. You can't. You can do it on the old set, not the new set. No, not for Rob.

The new one built. You have to do it on the old one. The temporary one. Look what we did here, Rob. We gave you a nice little place that can fit a couple hundred people. They're not here right now, but we get nobody. We got an audience. You got an audience of seven people that are watching this.

They're protesting Minnesota. They'll be here soon. So I was telling, I told Tico, I said, Tico, Rob Schneider's going to be on the podcast. And he says, Dad, I don't want to go to school. I want to come see him. I said, no, you're going to school, buddy. We'll go on and do the podcast. That sounds like a half good story.

Yeah. I thought he was going to say, and here he is. No, he's at school. He's at school. But anyways. Okay, so we got a lot of stories to cover, Rob, of course, some of the stuff that we'll cover with things that you got going on. It's not going to get serious, I guess.

We got the late night hosts Jimmy Camel, Colbert Fallon, all pushed conspiracy theories that Trump captured Maduro to distract from the Epstein files. I'm going to get your thoughts on that here in a minute. Conan O'Brien says the F. Trump comics have been co-opted by anger, just screaming. This is Conan O'Brien. By the way, credit to him for saying something like that. Yeah, no, I appreciate Conan. always appreciated Conan. My first job was with Conan O'Brien.

With Conan? Well, my first job, well, it's my first real job at Saturday Night Live, yeah. Was there a live audience? Or was it like it was an audience with not like this stuff that we do for you. No, I mean, they had a real set. They didn't give me like the secondary. They didn't go, we're going to, let's bring Rob, let's bring him until, not after we finish the new beautiful set. Let's bring him in the old place. Stick him in there. I really appreciate Conan O'Brien saying that because it's true. Yeah, I'm going to get into it. I'm going to get into the end of the minimum when we get into the story. I want to read all of them.

I'm going to tee it up and I'll see you up. Trust me. We'll get into. So let me just read all the stories. We got a lot of stuff going on with Iran. There was some stuff that happened yesterday. I think they're saying some reports public are 50 plus that have died. But people I'm hearing from Iran on the streets, it's hundreds of people have died.

In and it was cut off yesterday. Reza Pallavi allegedly was supposed to. There was tweets about he's going to meet with Trump. And then there wasn't. And then now he is complimentary of Trump. I got very direct feedback on that community. We'll respond to the Iranian thing. Venezuela with what's going on there.

A bunch of different new things that are formulating. And then Trump says he's banning institutional investors from scooping up single family homes. Big deal. Very big deal. Thank you. Marco Rubio making moves on Greenland as Trump extremely serious about buying Island valued at $3.3 billion.

Let me make an offer first. Yeah. You can't just take the first $3 billion offer. You got to ask you around. You got to take another one. Well, maybe you can make a public offer today. Trump and Colombian president speak by phone for the first time amid escalating tensions, which is good that they talked.

Denmark will shoot first and ask questions later if the U.S. invades Greenland. Think about the way you're talking. From their dog sled. Yeah, they'll shoot first. Shoot what? Exactly. Rand Paul, I will do everything to stop any kind of military take. over of Greenland. So that's Rand Paul.

Yeah. And then L.A. Mayor Bass brushes off Palisades, fire protests, claims the locals are profiting. Gavin Newsom confronts 18 billion out of budget disaster. He helped create. What more can these L.A. people want? I mean, yes,

17,000 homes gone, but, or 1,700 homes, but they've built back four. And you have to look at the positives. And we're able to cut through the red tape and in one year, two of the homes are back. Yeah, exciting news. We'll definitely get into that because I don't even think that's his biggest problem. There's allegedly a $250 billion fraud that they're looking into.

The billionaire more strategic move out, make strategic moves out of California ahead of the proposed well-taxed. Larry Page, just about $173 million, two Miami homes right next to each other. They moved to Miami. They left California. Two-bedroom. Yeah, so two-bedroom, one bath. They moved out here with protests held in Minneapolis. No garage.

Yeah, no garage. You got a half, you have to share the garage. Yeah, after shot, a woman shot, we'll talk about the shooting with ICE video. There's a lot of commentary there. Even the mayor Jacob Fry tells ICE to get the F out of Minneapolis. You got to see this video. Another article came out saying, is this the end of American capitalism? Warner Brothers, something funny is going on with Warner Brothers?

I'm curious to know what you're going to say about this later on. Warner Brothers tells shareholders that Larry Ellison, who's worth roughly $300 billion, give or take, his wealth isn't enough to beat out Netflix's bid. Tom thinks something's going on behind closed doors that they want Netflix as the buyer, but not Larry Ellison. Nobody knows why we'll talk about it. Of course, Iran will talk about Maduro is gone, but repression in Venezuela intensifies. China expected to replace Venezuelan oil with Iranian crude. And then we've got a couple other updates here with stories to cover as well. That's like eight minutes right there.

Yeah, that is eight minutes. But we're going to go two hours. I hope you're ready on your bladder can handle next two and a half hours. Oh, man. Vinny, tell us what's happening with the stuff you've been doing. By the way, Rob, just so you know, Vinny, his gear, Faith Over Fear, tens of thousands of pieces sold out in a couple weeks. Tell us about Faith Over Fear, Rini.

Well, just letting everybody know, I appreciate everybody that's getting on board. I saw a guy at the airport that was wearing the faith over fear. I was at a diner and some guy pat me on the back and was like, hey, what is that all about? And you don't want to know what Hebrews 11 chapter 1 was and we got into a really good conversation. And I know I always talk about faith over fear being like in the Bible with a centurion soldier whose kid was healed where Jesus just said, go because of your faith, it's going to be healed. And the woman that had a bleeding issue that pushed through the crowd that just touched Jesus' edge of hem of his clothing and he was healed.

So I want people to know that that's back in the biblical days, faith over fear still applies today. It's what's starting a business when the numbers scare you. Speaking the truth when silence feels safer. Fear waits for comfort and faith moves with conviction. You guys can go on there right now. I have another.

We have a hat that's coming soon. I don't want to give it away. But you guys can go to, is it, Pat, is it, FLB? VTmerch.com. VTmerch.com. Go to vTmerch.murch.com. Guys, we have hoodies. We have hats, rocket, and let people know where you stand.

I love it. Go to VTmerch.com. place your order by it for yourself, your friends, your peers. Having said that, let's get right into it. I'm going to start off with you, Rob. Okay, so late night host, Jimmy Kimmel-Fallin, all-push conspiracy theory that Trump captured Maduro to distract from Epstein files.

Rob, if you got the clips, play it, we'll react to it. Go for it. How bad these Epstein files are for Trump, turns out they're invade Venezuela bad. This is literally the plot of the movie Wag the Dog. The president gets caught a sex scandal. So he attacks a smaller country to distract us. And here we are.

Distracted. On Saturday, Venezuelan president, Nicholas Maduro, and his wife were captured by Delta Force at their home in Caracas and brought to New York. Trump watched the operation unfold in real time from the bunker in his basement at Moralago. You can see, there he is with Hegset and Marco Rubio. This mission was called Operation Absolute Resolve, which is a title that was definitely generated by ChatGBT. I'll tell you my response to that is it's a really good warning to comedians and other hosts and other people do shows that if you go too far down the, you know, conspiracy rabbit hole, or if you just get too politicized, and then all of a sudden you're not, you know, you're not in the funny business anymore. You're just in the, it's, it's politics and it's, you know, it's really a propaganda through comedic imposition. They're imposing their views.

And it's just, it wasn't funny and it wasn't particularly interesting. And it's also, it's just factually incoherent. Because believe me, if there was anything in those files about Trump, the Democrats had it for years. They would have released it. You think they would have, they would have hid that stuff to protect Trump? No, it would have been out. Billboard's. So, I mean, look, obviously, all that stuff should come out.

But the presumption that there's stuff there, it's just, how much more of this is like, it's like, it's, people see that Russia was all, the only two people not involved in the Russia, Trump collusion was Russia and Trump. Everybody else seemed to be colluding. So I think the American people see through that. just like when you watch the news, depending if you're watching CNN, you know, you have to go, okay, what are, okay, if politics is war by other means, this is war. So it's just a political warfare. So what are they not telling you? And so in this thing is just, you know, it's treating your audience like they're stupid or like they're just in your own political echo chamber. And it's like he listens, I mean, I think he's affected by the head writer who's his wife, who's a, who's a liberal that's.

The head writer is his wife? Yeah, that's way out there. Jimmy Kimmel's what? Jimmy Kimmel's one? For the show? For the show? For the show? Is it white?

Do you see the podcast where he looked like he was a hostage by her over liberal white anger and bitterness? Oh, of course. I think it's obviously, look, Jimmy Kimmel's certainly capable of being funny. I mean, I remember doing. Really? Yes, no, I remember doing the show. He was the emcee. Well, we did the Hugh Hefner roast eight days.

after 9-11. And he was funny. He can be funny. I just, I think when you get so emotionally vested in something, and I just think it's, I will tell you this right now, there's no way Disney's

picking him up after his contract expires in April. They will let it expire, and that's it. Disney doesn't want this. Disney shareholders don't want politics. They just want, they want entertainment. And why would you want to allow 50, automatically, you know, take, okay, there's 80 million voters that we don't want to watching our show.

It's crazy. Let me ask you a direct question. He was funny after 9-11, so 24 years ago. When's the last time Jimmy Kimmel was actually funny? Well, I will tell you, you can't really come up with like, well, that was a really good zinger. I mean, like, you know, Jay Leno, you can remember. I mean, I remember his jokes, you know, when he was on his show's, hey, you know, remember when Starbucks is opening up another 600 Starbucks?

And where can they open it up? The only place I can think of is inside of the Starbucks. he would have Leno was the best. I mean, he was really the best comedian of his era and, you know, and he was But he was fair, though. That's the thing about Leno. He'd call out all sides.

All those guys. I mean, Carson, and Letterman, they, they, let me finish. They, they, um... He will do that often and you, you're fine, constantly doing that. Keep going on. No, but they, they obviously, whoever's in power should, they should go after. But with jokes.

and I think yeah I mean traditionally Trump has been thin-skinned about any jokes but I also think those weren't jokes

I just think Adam Krola was here he was very complimentary of Kimmel like he wouldn't say anything bad about Kimmel because he said Campbell's the reason

why he came up and all this other stuff so he's got but I know that him and they did they diverge but we have to move we all have to

we can have divergent views without demonizing each other and the problem with what Jimmy Kimmel does and what I just saw

This is just a continuation of the demonization of half of America. And well, who's that getting? Why was that getting us anywhere? Right. I just think it's, again, it's just politics for political gain. It's some sort of, you know, propaganda with comedic imposition. This is, and the idea that the audience is going to laugh, they're not laughing. They're applauding, you know, in the little political echo chamber.

I'm telling you, he won't be there after April. Well, let me read this. Let me read this. Rob. Is this Colbert? Let's see you, Colbert, but I want to go to Conan right afterwards, and I want to get his thoughts on Conan. So go ahead and play this one here.

What this means? Those Epstein files must be crazy. Bomb something! Bomb anything! To me, he's not funny. At all. I don't think I've ever laughed. At anything he said, and this is true.

Trump's New Year's resolution was... Let me read Conan's, and I'm going to come to you. So Conan O'Brien... says F-Trump comics have been co-opted by anger, just screaming. Comedian late-night show, Conan O'Brien, criticizes comics who are more focused on screaming about Trump. Rob, was there a clip on this,

or was this? Okay, go for it. Play this. Some comics go the route of... Can we raise the audio a little bit, guys? I'm going to just say F-Trump every, all the time, or that's their comedy. And I think, well, now a little bit, you're being co-opted because you're so angry, you've been lulled, it's like a siren leading you into the rocks, you've been lulled into just saying F Trump, F Trump, F Trump,

screw this guy, you know, and I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger, and that person or any person like that would say, well, things are too serious now. I don't need to be funny, and I think, well, if you're a comedian, you always need to be funny. You just have to find a way. Bingo. And you just have to find a way to channel that anger into a way that is, because good art will always be a great weapon. Will always be a perfect weapon against power. But if you're just screaming and you're just angry,

you've lost your best tool in the toolbox. Rob, what do you say to that? Well, I think that's wonderful. And, you know, Conan's very logical. rational and a good guy. And also, when he was, did his show, his monologues were about getting laughs. It wasn't about some political indoctrination through comedic imposition. I keep coming back to that. So it, he's 100% right. We have to be there to entertain. I mean, when I go and, you know, tonight, I got two shows, I'm there to entertain them. And if I don't make them laugh, I mean, yeah, oops, I got to call my kid. She's on her way to school. The, we're there to entertain. And so, yes, I think you can have a political opinion.

But it's just like, you know, Jerry Seinfeld was saying the other day. And we had a, I mean, I talked to him about that at the Saturday Night Live anniversary, 50th anniversary. Because he said, I don't believe that there's a woke thing and blah, blah, blah. And I said, there is woke. And absolutely. And he said something like, there's no woke canceling stuff. And he corrected himself, I think. And he said to me, no, I'm saying that there is, but you can just use, you can find a way.

around it and still find a way to be funny, which is absolutely true. And he's one of the masters of all time. I mean, for, for, you know, his, his skill and acumen is, you know, he's absolutely brilliant. I mean, he literally is a genius of comedy. And, but he's right. You have to find a way to get to it. And so you have, it seems like, you know, Jimmy Kimmel's just in a war. And before, you know, his contract expires, he's just going to continue to try to burn down as much and just, and have a fire going and I just said like you know Conan's right your biggest weapon is come up with something funny and I think there's absolutely you have to go after the people in power and Trump's in power and the Republicans are in power but find a way to do it I find a way to do it that's um that has a surprise

to it and certainly you know it's just illogical just to to think that you know somehow the democrats would withhold um you know really uh evidence that was, you know, showing Trump in a bad light. If they had it, believe me, it would be everywhere. Rob, here's my thing as a fellow comedian. That's just hack. That's just the joke that everybody, and by the way, it's been going on for almost 10 years.

It's a hack. He's a hack. The other guy's a hack. My question to you is, oh, Rob, this is a studio decision. I know his wife is doing the writing, and he's in there, and they're patting each other on the back, and they're loving each other. But from a business standpoint, we saw the numbers a couple of weeks ago.

They've been hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars. Nobody's watching. They haven't changed any course. He keeps spitting the same rhetoric. So my question is, is it the donors that are behind the Democratic Party that just want to just, it's just anti-trump? Disney, as of this point, does not want the political backlash and will continue the bleeding until the contract's up in April. And then there is no reason financially or a business decision will be to not bring him back. And that's just, I mean, I'm not saying personally, it doesn't have anything to do with me.

I'm just saying if they make a decision to keep him and to make redo his contract or give him to contact, contract extension to Jimmy Kimmel, that's going to be a purely political decision based on not wanting any crap from, you know, the violent or should say the virulent and loud liberal intelligentsia. But that same liberal intelligentsia isn't watching the show anymore. Because even they go like, it's not funny. What am I getting out of it? They watched for like the first week or the first couple, the first show when he came back. But if they do make that decision, it's not a business decision.

They'll be telling their stockholders, we're not making business decisions. And I just think, you know, it's a business. you have to make a decision and you have to make a decision based on what is going to benefit your stockholders if you're in a money a business to make money it's just like if they had a boat if Disney Disney has seven cruise lines they got the seventh one that they were that they released last year if that wasn't making money then you take the boat off and you don't do that anymore so this boat the jimmy camel late night show is not making money and they got to bring it back to doc and figure out how to make money in that spot that's it's a business decision

It's nothing personal. I mean, I think it's just those shows are going to go away anyway. I just think that that's a form that people, I mean, most people. You're saying it's going to go away. Like the late night shows are going to all be gone. They're not going to have them. What's going to replace it? Anything?

It's going to be like podcasters and YouTubers like Kill Tony? Yes. You're going to have people that are watching specific shows for them. I mean, Kill Tony is way bigger than all those shows. That's right. To, you know, exponentially to the 10th power bigger than them. They have 10, A million people will watch each episode.

And, but Tony's there to get laughs. And he's also, I mean, I would say he's more Johnny Carson than any of these late-night hosts. And he's a great man. I got to tell you, I've never had anybody in this business kinder to me than Tony Hinchcliffe. Out of the blue. Didn't know me. Never really met me. He invited me on his show.

And thank you, Tony, for having, you know, the balls to have me. Because I don't get invited to the late-night shows. but it's like I'm a comedian. I'm there to get laughs, but I'm not going to give into the, you know, I want to go the other way, and I have gone the other way, because it's more interesting. You want to be, you want to go against the tide. But then I had against the tide, you know, being a conservative, you know, in 2020 was not easy. I had as much as 30 people would get up and walk out for a joke about COVID at that time or about Biden or something. People would just, and so I had to literally, I talked to John Cleese, who's extremely alleged, but also crazy, over-the-top, anti-Trump liberal.

But he's a great man. I don't give a crap of what his politics are. But he said, Rob, I think we should give a warning before your shows. No, just say, for those of you who are feeling extremely, you know, exceptionally sensitive, those who are trapped in their own political echo chamber, those who, when they hear ideas separate than their own may cause their emotional collapse, this may not be the show for you. And so I did a version of that. And I did it for like two years just before.

It was just a warning, you know, before. Because it's like, hey, this is a comedy show. You're going to hear jokes. And they're not going to be what you need to challenge your audience. Otherwise, you're a bore. So you've got to challenge both sides. So I think that's what's going to make it interesting. And Rob, how's your relationship with Adam Sandler right now?

I think there was something I read that he was, you know, he goes out of his way to always include you. That was an AI thing. So that's not a real thing? It's all AI. It's so funny because even people like yourself were pretty savvy, really savvy, it's still like you believe it because, you know, there's just these bot farms. That's why it's very important that Elon Musk and Zuckerberg, hopefully, will put,

this is made in India by AI, you know, on the thing. Well, then not just community notes, but it should say we're the country of origin. Because, you know, India has like literally like an AI machine to just throw stuff out there. if they get enough YouTube views to get money on that. So it's like whether it's China or whether it's Pakistan or whether it's India, it's all fake shit. But now, Adam supports me. He's my buddy. He's my friend, you know.

But at the same time, I think it's a good business decision to stay out of it. Why would you want to? It's like, you know, Michael Jordan. So Adam is good to you. So you and Adam are good. Oh, yeah. Well, Michael Jordan is like. So that AI was right that you guys.

are good. Oh, no, yeah, we are. But like Michael Jordan is like, right, you know, Republicans buy shoes too. And it's true. It's like, I think, why would you want to limit your audience? However, I think it's, for me, it was important during the last few years to, there's something more important than your comedy career or you're, you know, getting movies, was that this culture was under attack. And I believe, you know, being friends with Charlie Kirk was quite an education. And just, you know, it was indisputable that our culture and Western civilization is under attack. And I would just ask your viewers and listeners to get the book, Douglas Murray's book, War on the West.

There's a real attack on Western civilization. And the idea that the United States is just going to continue without our assistance, this incredible experiment in freedom, is an illusion. We need to step up. And it may cost you some money. But when I think about like, well, I'm not going to probably, you know, studios don't want to hire. me now because I've been so conservative.

I would say like the Bill Maherp thing, I would say, hey, I've been a liberal. They moved. I didn't move. And then you realize there's an attack on the culture. It's time to step up and protected. And I really feel like it really was. I mean, when the Biden administration, day one, day one, first thing they did was to contact the White House to contact the social media outlets, Zuckerberg and Facebook and Twitter

and demand that Robert Kennedy be censored. I mean, that's a fact. And that just goes to show the politicization of our, you know, body politic now was not one Democrat stood up and said, hey, that's wrong. But the only guy kind of that would step up and go against his party is Federman. And he has a brain injury. So God bless him. That part of his brain that died was a very, should happen to the rest of the Democratic Party.

True. But I know, but I mean that. I think you have to step up. And our culture was under attack, for sure. And I feel like, you know, the idea that they're saving democracy, Democrats weren't saving democracy. They just got rid of Biden because his brain didn't work. And everybody knew, and everybody in the media knew that his brain,

he was basically, you know, a corpse attached to a car battery for four years. And to just get rid of him and just without the vote, just put Kamala in. And as I said, you know, replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris is like, changing your shirt because you shit your pants. So it's pretty obvious. I'll just say this. Adam Sandler's a living legend. Respect to him. Number two, the War in the West. Douglas Murray is one of the best books I've ever read.

Because it's so true. But to this point about what late-night comics are doing with this F. Trump whole phenomenon, what I would say is it goes deeper than that because it's pretty much what's going on with half this country. It's not just left to comics. The problem that we have right now is that everyone's so firmly entrenched in their sides, and they feel like they need to defend their team. I got this great question on Meneck by this kid Dylan. He's a young Republican in Iowa.

He goes, Adam, I've seen your evolution because I used to not be a fan of Trump whatsoever. I was, had whatever Trump syndrome, Trump DDS, I had that four years ago, five years ago. Trump told me to my face that he hated me. To my face. I just laughed, you know. But I love the guy. But he, and I have an amazing appreciation. But he asked me this question of a minute.

He goes, I've seen your revolution. Why don't you just come out and say that you're a full-on Republican now and register as a Republican in Florida? I go, I've always been an independent. And I just thought like a Democrat. Now I think like a Republican. And the reason that I want to stay an independent is because I want to be able to be fair and balanced. Yeah, but Adam, don't you know.

Everyone these days is so in their echo chamber. Let me interrupt you like you interrupted me. Adam, let me tell you. Well, let me interrupt. You know, Adam. Here's the problem with that. That is a, what Adam just said is rational and completely a pro-American approach. I'm going to be an independent and vote for what makes sense.

But don't you understand? Just saying you're an independent, the Democrats are going to throw you under the right-wing bus and run over you, you know? Oh, I've zero fear of that because. No, no, no, but I'm telling you that, so they're not playing fair. So just because you're saying you're an independent, if you're not 100% behind all their radical crazy, shit, then you're going to be thrown

into that, oh, he's a right-winger. Just like they say that. They're the fashion. Yes. That's the thing. So, but I'm saying, so you have to, that's the area that we're in. So, you know, whether you consider yourself a conservative or not, they're going to call you a right winger. Who cares? Yeah, exactly, but who cares? But I'm saying that that's, that's what we're dealing with. That's how the, that's the

interpretation. So, you know, the interpretation is, is the reality that people carry with them. And, um, is, um, is, They make their own reality, unfortunately. It's not accurate. So we have to, you know, that that's something that needs to be tackled and gone back to, you know, to calming down. You know, where was the sympathy when Charlie Kirk got murdered, when you had people celebrating? They were dancing on his grave.

You know, so you have anybody outside your tribe doesn't get any sympathy or empathy. But people in your tribe get an overarching, ridiculous amount of empathy. And it was a terrible tragedy that, that I wish that ICE officer would not have shot. I really do. Let's get into that story. Let's get into that story. Rob, if you want to pull it up. So a story comes out, protests held in Minneapolis after women shot dead by U.S. immigration agent.

Rob, I think you probably have a few different clips. Is that the protesting going on right now in Minneapolis yesterday or two days ago? So this story, when it first came out, you know, J.D. Vance said it best. I think there's a clip on it because is there any clips that we have of the cars? Well, of course, we're not going to maybe show the main clips. But do you have any clips, Rob, to show what happened? Is this the one? Okay.

So this is the clip that we all saw. Actually, no, this isn't the clip that we saw. The clip we saw was the other one showing the fact that the ICE agent was, you know, defending himself and shooting. And then this clip gets shown. Go ahead, Rob, from a different angle. Yeah, that's real time. Boom? What are you doing?

Whoa. So she drives over the ice agent. She's trying to. Okay. She drives over the- I'm going to say she was in a crazed, she was not in the right frame of mind, number one. I would say anybody who-

Rob, let me go to Vinny Force. I'll come to you. Go ahead, Vinnie. Well, Rob, and I get what you're coming from. I want everybody to know first and foremost, okay? if she hadn't been committing a crime, she would still be alive. Interfering with federal law enforcement and obstructing a federal officer is a crime under law. And let me tell you where it is.

Under 18 U.S.C. 111 to federal crime to forcefully assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with any federal officer while they're performing official duties. Absolutely. Number one. It doesn't take away from the tragedy. What I want to dig into, you're 100% right, 100%. But however, you got to know that in any tragedy, there's a confluence of things that are combined to set the stage for this tragedy. I mean, the fact that there's been this overwhelming rhetoric against, you know, federal officers in this nation, this hateful rhetoric, the demonizing, the calling them Nazis and fascists.

And it creates this situation where people who are vulnerable, will put themselves in harm's way, which is what happened. And it's very similar to like the social contagion, which is thankfully shrinking now of transgenderism, where these kids who are vulnerable and the high percentage of them upwards of 80% of these kids who identify as trans are vulnerable kids who are on the spectrum of autism.

So you have a social contagion there. You had the social contagion of fear during COVID. So you just have these people that are being manipulative, through emotion to not make decisions that are in the best interest of themselves and put themselves in harm's way. So while I say, I agree with you 100%, it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a tragedy and doesn't take away from the fact that that was a preventable tragedy. And I mean that. I mean, yes, he was hit and yes, he's not going to be convicted, obviously. But this is an officer that already got into a situation where he got injured by a car and had stitches in his legs and stuff

from what I, from what I. Like 300 feet by an illegal that they were trying to arrest for, guess what? Assaulting a nine-year-old minor, like sexually assaulting. So that's why this guy has, is, by the way, I'm not saying it's going to make him a little on edge, but first, like, if you think about it, Rob. I think about it, he should not be in the field after that. I just do. But, I mean, think about it, he loves his job so much that even after that. I know he loves his job so much, but I think at a certain point you have to make decisions that are, that the individual officers don't get to make.

Let me ask you a question. Where's the accountability? I'm going to pick one guy. Tim Walz calling them ICE, Gestapo. I'm saying that that's insane. Yeah, no, what I'm saying is, but this girl. That is a body, that is a political warfare. No, no, but there's no accountability for him.

How many times have they been calling these people? Do you have the JD Vance clip? Well, absolutely. I mean, I'm not saying that's not wrong. And then Rob, respond to this. Go ahead, go ahead, Rob. No, no, the other, Rob, Rob. Go ahead, Rob, you.

I'm saying you have to acknowledge a tragedy. We also, we have to be when there are citizens that are not in a right frame of mind. We have to, just like in Los Angeles, I mean, this is crazy. But like literally, they let people at Home Depot, they're just people who are stealing stuff. They let them go, why? Because they don't want to deal with the insurance hassle if the person pretends to fall down and hurt themselves. They just don't want to do it. That's how screwed up our legal system is.

and the scummy attorneys that would represent them. So I think when you know that there's something like this, they have to calm her heads after prevail. And I just, it just, it is. So you're saying he shouldn't have shot? I'm saying he obviously defended himself. I'm saying he should not have, in my opinion, I'm not a police officer.

I've never been in the armed services. I'm saying that it was a preventable, that I wish that in situations like this, just like in Los Angeles or just like when there's car speed, chases, you got to let them go. Don't get in front of the car. And I think that's dangerous for everybody involved.

Yes. If there's somebody speeding, you don't, you could, it's more dangerous in a speed chase to interfere and then just let them go. That was a parked car. She did on, which she came and set up with her wife. Her wife, her wife or whatever got out of the car and she said,

Rob, because I was, hold on, I was a security forces member in the United States Air Force when it comes to that type of thing and you're doing a convoy and somebody's blocking you off the fear of an ambush meaning people coming from the side and you can't be a stationary

target so what she's doing and mind you I want to say one thing this girl Renee Good she was an ice watch warrior she was trained to do exactly what she was doing to resist to get in their way to blow whistles and do all that stupid stuff that she's doing I understand 100%

it's avoidable but can I show Can I show one thing really quick, Pat? Rob, show the video of this police officer. By the way, this is a military veteran from Baltimore. This is an older video of Amy Caprio, who was run over. And by the way, this is on the news, Pat, so they're going to show it. Look at how fast this situation. She's to the side goes from, hey, get out of the car to she is dead.

And her audio was live of her dying on this call. So look how fast this happens. Go ahead, Rob. This person in the car, they get in the car. Check this out. Well, boom, done. She's dead. She's dead.

So in this situation, again, the blame goes to the Democratic Party who has been pushing this rhetoric for years. Nazi, Gestapo and everything. I agree. And Rob, to be honest to you, this is what they wanted. This is what Tim Walts. This is what Elon, this is what Gavin Newsom, when they say get in the street, get in their face, resist, take off your mask.

What do you have to hide for? 100%. This is a direct result. I'm agreeing with you. However, I'm agreeing with you. However, I'm agreeing with him. all that. They want their name. I agree.

Yeah. They wanted somebody to, to, they wanted a martyr that they could use it for, because they don't care about people. None of those, none of those politicians. The cops should have let her go because, by the way, what I'm saying, no, no, no, no, no. I'm saying, look, I'm saying in what they did by that officer firing and getting in front of the car

gave them what they wanted. They gave them, they gave them the shift of the narrative to the unbelievable graft and corruption and fraud by the Democratic Party to the tune of $900 billion, potentially, as Elon Musk said. It could be anywhere from $300 to $900 billion. Literally, if you take away the corruption and the fraud from the Democratic Party, it could lower our taxes. Literally, anyone under $500,000 making that, anyone $500,000 or less would pay zero taxes. That's the kind of corruption that Elon Musk thinks, we have those numbers.

All I'm saying is simply this. I agree with you 100%. And the fact that there is nobody, that the same people have a certain zero empathy for an officer who was killed in the line of duty, exposes them for their hypocrisy, and that this is just all politics. Let's do this.

Let's listen to what JD has to say. Let's see, because I've been trying to play this JD clip, G. Go ahead and play the clip. And I agree with JD. I was actually walking out here. somebody sent me a photo of a CNN headline about what happened in Minneapolis. And this is the headline. I'm just going to read it. Outrage after ICE officer kills U.S. citizen in Minneapolis.

Well, that's one way to put it, and that is the way that many people in the corporate media have put this attack over the last 24 hours. And I say attack very, very intentionally because this was an attack on federal law enforcement, this was an attack on law and order, this was an attack on the American. American people. The way that the media by and large has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day. What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ice officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg. So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about

somebody ramming him with an automobile? What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America. What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to docks, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job. If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws. The president stands with ICE.

Imposs the right. They're right. A thousand percent agreed with everything he had to say. It doesn't take away from the fact that it's a tragedy. And he also said it. I think he also said it's a tragedy. We have to know that a human life here was manipulated and is lost. And all what I'm saying is absolutely the officer was defending himself, but I wish he didn't fire. And I also think that we have to, and we have to do everything we can in a situation to not put yourself in harm's way. What she did was putting herself in harm's way. And I'm not an officer. This is just my opinion, is that we, you cannot give fuel to, Tom, what are you thinking with this? You're a reasonable guy? What I think is,

Rob, maybe that's, that's true, but let's back up a second. Who was in harm's way? The officer first was in harm's way, and then she didn't put herself in harm's way. She suffered the consequence of interfering with a live law enforcement engagement. That's what happened. And J.D. Vance is right. They want the mainstream media is still run by liberals that hate Trump. And as Conan O'Brien said, it's F Trump, F Trump. So guess what? Now they have their body. Now they have their George Floyd T-shirt.

And now they have their George Floyd mural. No matter what. They've got their George Floyd mural now. And now it's a and now it's a woman. Fantastic. Now they got a little equal opportunity in their martyr cast. I'm saying that you deal with people that are manipulated. And I think we need to support it. Yeah. I mean, Sheriff in Florida came out yesterday, Pat, in the afternoon and said, let me just say something, folks. If you're going to interfere with law enforcement and Florida, this is exactly what you're going to have here because we are going to ensure that our law enforcement feel safe on the job and supported. There he is, so that they stay on the job and they don't quit or retire early because we need law enforcement to protect you the public.

We need it. And the degradation and the demonization from the left attacking ICE officers verbally and physically is beyond disgraceful. and it's created this dangerous situation. But I'm saying since we know that it's a dangerous situation, I guarantee that the ICE officers have to adjust accordingly because you're not, and I agree with you. I'm not disagreeing. I'm saying that you have people here like this woman who's clearly not in a frame of mind.

You've got to know that they are, the officer didn't know that. He doesn't know who this person, he doesn't know if there's a person armed, he doesn't know if there's other people that could be in the vehicle that are armed. he does not have that information. All he knows is there's somebody now impeding his job.

However, all that in mind, I guarantee you the ICE officers, they have to, you know, they also, part of that training has to be, they're not dealing with rational, normal people, which has to, at the same time, heighten their awareness and are already extremely difficult job where you have... I really don't know what you're saying, Rob, respectfully. The demonization. I have no clue what you're saying.

I'm saying to you right now, trying to see you. officers, they have to be like, they're crazy people. So get out the way and let the guy go and have to stop the person again at another place and then let him go again and then stop him at another place. Let's play that logically. This makes zero sense to me. So feel free to push back because you're a reasonable guy, I can't comprehend your reasoning. Don't be in front of the car because they can go forward.

Don't be in back of the car because it's back up. Don't drive over a cop. Absolutely. So that's breaking the law. It's like saying, hey, you know, when these guys, guys are coming around coming a crossing a border illegally guys let's not hurt them let's not like no that just tell them please go back and do that I mean but if it's a truck that's coming over the border get out of the way if it's a truck coming over the border get out of the way and then wait and

then I'm blowing up the truck yeah I'm being serious with you if a truck is coming if I'm a job of being a cop of stand in front of it yeah blow it up and stand and that's exactly I agree with you I agree with you I agree it's a truck coming across the border yeah absolutely you got a fire You gotta protect your country. I'm trying to read it. So Adam, where are you? Let me just give a different perspective. And look, I'm not disagreeing with anything you guys are saying, but J.D. Vance.

I'm saying now you have to know you're dealing with mental people. You have to know you're dealing with people that are not in right frame of mind. You have to know that going in. And you have to, yes, officers have to protect themselves. That comes first. But at the same time, I just think, I guarantee you the ICE officers. Well, let me do this. Let me go to Jacob Fryen and I'm going to come to you guys, Rob.

Play a clip from Jacob, Here's what he had to say, the mayor of Minneapolis. This guy's a piece of shit. Oh, freaking Nobel Prize. There's little, I can say, again, that'll make this situation better. But I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE. To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here.

your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety and you are doing exactly the opposite. Well, that guy is a lunatic and we have lunatics who are running our cities. That exposes so many things. They would rather have their city fall apart. They'd rather have it overrun by people who are not citizens. They don't care about the safety of their particular citizens. It's all a political show. And that guy is a disgrace.

And I think you see that. I mean, you... Adam, your thoughts. Sure. So, I'll give you a different perspective. Is anybody surprised that this is occurring in Minneapolis, Minnesota at this point? Yeah. To me, this is just an ultimate failure of leadership,

whether it's this mayor, Jacob Frey or Tim Walls. Every major incident that we've seen in this country, for the most part, in the last five years, has occurred in one city. Minneapolis, Minnesota. This ice thing is just the latest thing. Whether it's George Floyd, whether it's the Somalian fraud case, whether it's the BLM protest,

whether it's the Catholic school shooting just a few months ago, how much fraud needs to take place in the sanctuary city for this gentleman to take a look in the mirror and say, maybe it's my weird, woke, weak policies that have caused this. And then ultimately, what's the reward for all this chaos in Minnesota? let's take tampon, Tim Walls, and make him almost the second most powerful person in this country. To me, Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota is the tipping point for chaos in this country.

Let me say, Minnesota, I remember when I was a kid in Minneapolis, when I was a young comedian, and I remember going to, I remember to get, it was another comedian, we're driving to a gig, and we stopped at a gas station, and they took a check from the other committee. They take a check, how gullible are these people? Yeah.

You have the nicest. people I just ran into a bunch of them from Minnesota nice really really good people I ran them to the airport and believe me they don't want this they don't want to be run over by people coming in from other countries they don't want them to to be the ones choosing their elected leaders they don't want crime in there and they they prefer ICE to come in and take out illegals and that's that's ICE's job but you you're dealing with a group of people and they're being manipulated by by people who are not good faith actors.

These are not people, this guy, this mayor, Fry, he is a bad faith actor. He doesn't have what's best in mind. He's not trying to calm down the situation. He's using political, he's using this as a time to drum things up to make things more difficult. Because it's just a political warfare. That's what we're doing. But here's my thing, Rob, where is the accountability going to go to? Because if you as a leader, if I tell you guys right now, hey, Rob, go to that house and break into it right now, break the law.

You know who's going to get in trouble? Me. I sent you. My favorite shows of first 48. If people tell you to go somewhere like Charles Manson, he got in trouble. He didn't kill anybody. He told people to go kill. So when's the accountability going to come to these morons?

Because at the end of the day, let's go to the beginning. Number one, you broke the law. Ready for this? George Floyd, who was a scumbag, drug addict, who held a gun to a pregnant girl's stomach while his friends were out of the house. If he wasn't a dirtbag, law-breaking drug addict who was trying to. to pass a $20 bill at a at a gas station. He never meets Derek Chauvin, period. Their paths never cross. And the mental state that you're talking about about this girl, she wasn't out of her mind. This is the communist directive from 1943, Rob, can you play it? They've brainwashed

these people. They're not out of their mind. It's purposefully, Rob. It's purposeful. So my point is, I'm saying the same thing that brainwashed is out of your mind. Where's the accountability for the person telling you to go and break the law? If he's, Tim Walz is saying, go and do this, get in front of their faces. They're the Gestapo. It has to fall on you. And isn't it? Adam made a great point.

It's ironic. The biggest fraud in the history of the country is happening there. Any distraction these people want, not for you to look. But this is my point. This is from what? How old, Rob, this 1943 communist directive, listen to how the Democratic Party, because at the end of the day, Rob, this all, I used to call the whole party.

It's not the whole party. Please let me finish my point. These people have. lost the plot. They have, they have no God. Name me one Democrat. And I'm not saying be as proud as I am or as Pat or as, as Tom with our faith. Where are the people that believe in God? We're the God-fearing Christian people that have any backbone, anything. They lost it, Rob. It's all LGBTQ, open the border, fraud. Name me one thing that this party stands for. It's enough playing, pussyfooting around and going, no, there, there's some good ones. There aren't. Please play this,

Rob Blowell. This is the mentality of what they do to your brains if you're watching this and you're a Democrat. Go ahead. 1943, 82 years ago. Where it started. In 1943, the following directive was issued from party headquarters to all communists

in the United States. It read When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable buildups as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic and Use the prestige of anti-fascist and tolerance organizations to discredit them.

In the public mind, constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell. The association will, after enough repetition, become fact in the public mind. Boom. So, does Tim Walls get held accountable for her life? The blood is on his hands. You can't tell people, go fight, go be illegal, go break the law, and then she dies, and nobody says anything to him. Well, you have, that's an incitement. Any incitement to violence is prosecutable. I mean, it's, uh, he could be prosecuted for an incitement for violence. But you have, it's just become normalized in the Democratic Party. You can just, you can just go like Democrats being violent and look it up on YouTube. And it's just all of them, just saying, get in the streets, get in their face. Don't let them eat at a restaurant. Don't give them no peace. So you have it. It's just, you know, it is, it's evil and it's awful. And it's, it's something. But how do you? fight it back. I mean, you have to, first of all, we're in such a bad, we're such, I mean,

as far as the prosecutions are, we're in bad shape when I go to my local Walmart in Arizona, and there's a lot of things that are behind glass, and they told me they had one point two, this one particular store in Scottsdale, Arizona, $1.2 million of theft in 2024. And that's And I said, that's ridiculous. And said, what's down from 3. No, from 2.5 million in 2023. So eventually they said, we're going to put everything behind glass. So at what point do you, when you do not have the police arrest and have prosecutors,

and this is Arizona, a pretty purple state, conservative legislator, not governor or senators, unfortunately. But you have, so we have to make a shift. We, we, this cannot continue. This is not the, you know, the good times of the 70s, 80s and 90s. I didn't realize that like the whole culture would be under attack like this. Yes, if you were an incitement to violence, you need to be prosecuted. But you have an entire Democratic party that is feeding off of that and they're raising money off it.

And what it's doing is it's creating brainwash. And I know what you, you have a problem with me saying, mental problems. This brainwashed a mental problem is they get wet they get whipped up into this let's just go to another term they're being emotionally driven to do things that are dangerous and that's exactly what's happening so but at the end of the day like the police officers and the ice officers specifically they got to look out for their own safety absolutely and all I said and all I mean was like there there there has to be a protocol and there was protocol and there was protocol You got to protect yourself, but also just, you know, it's a damaged person, and I just wish it wouldn't have happened.

Okay. I don't know all the facts on the ground. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story. Next story, Marco Rubio making moves on Greenland as Trump extremely serious about buying island valued at $3.3.000 sources say, Rob, I think you got a clip on this as well. $3.3 billion? That's a lot of money for ice. That's actually not a lot of money if you think about it, right?

So not for the resources that they have. Remember, we bought Alaska for $7.2 million, and they called it the dumbest deal of all time until later on America found golden oil. And then they said, oh, my God, what a great deal. So, Rob, if you got this, go ahead and play it. Go for it. Mr. Secretary, on Denmark, why is the administration not taking Denmark's offer to discuss the situation in Greenland? Oh, I'll be meeting with them next week. Will you take military intervention off the table?

I'm not here to talk about Denmark or military intervention. I'll be meeting with them next week. We'll have those conversations with them then. But I'm not having anything further to add to that today. Well, I think it's a simple, I think it's a treaty that we can have. Let me go to Tom. First, then I'll come to you. Go ahead, Tom. I think what people are missing here is we have an aggressive Russia that's in the middle of a war. And this is the part, this isn't too far below the surface, no pun intended.

But their major submarine base and their naval is on the north side. Greenland becomes a strategic listening post. and NATO has been quietly talking about Greenland as a strategic place to, you know, observe Russia and to have military installation there as part of Northern Atlantic. Remember NATO, North Atlantic, this is the area. And so Greenland has been a topic for a while. The Brits and the Germans have been all talking about who's going to foot the bill. When Greenland comes up, there's big bills in NATO, and guess what Trump has been doing? He's been forcing Europe, you know, Pat, he forced Europe to pay their fair share of those NATO bills.

Everybody increase slowly, yes. That's exactly. And so what's going on in Greenland, the U.S. strategically, below the surface, wants to turn Greenland into Puerto Rico. It'll have its own independence in this, but it's going to be like Guam, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico. That's what's going to be there. and then it's going to get military installations there. And then second, China is already there cutting contracts to dig up half of Greenland

to get to rare earth minerals, which belong to, in the eyes of Washington, to a security narrative on a global security basis. You don't want China there doing that. So it solves China and the rare earth minerals. It provides protection. If you figure out who's going to pay for Greenland and the NATO protection, which is going to be us.

And the news media wants to call it an invasion. Like we're going to take it over like China's about to take over Taiwan. No, that's not what's going on here. It starts with security and keeping China out of our backyard. That's where it starts. Adam, what are you at with this? To me, this is such a Trump move. I can just see Trump sitting in a meeting one day.

And they're being like, Trump, what are your thoughts on green? It's like, it's green. I love green. It's money. land. I love real estate. It's the world's largest island. I don't know if you know that. It's the world's we're going to make Greenland

great again. I just see Trump being obsessed with Greenland. Yes, there's geopolitical notions with this. Yes, there's assets there. Yes, there's minerals there. Whatever it may be strategically, I think just knowing Trump at the lowest common denominator, he's like,

let me some Greenland, and he's now obsessed with Greenland. That's my assumption. Rob, your thoughts. All right. I got a couple things to say. I think that Denmark has to negotiate something that benefits the people of Greenland. And I think they could absolutely. I just think in the same way, I think Canada could have a good negotiation. But specifically with Greenland, it is a, I was way, way more doveish than any of this stuff. But I think when you think geopolitically, and you have to work out some sort of situation. You cannot have China taking over Venezuela in that oil.

You just can't do it and expect to still have your dominance in this region. And we need to do that. I would never have thought I would have gotten there. And the same thing with Greenland. They have to work out some accommodation. But they will. And it's a treaty. At the end of the day, they'll come up to Denmark and they'll have some kind of treaty.

It's just that Trump comes off to these people as uncouth and bombastic in the way he talks. And I think if it was like Clinton, they would have figured out a deal already. You know, seriously, because, you know, the Democrats, and it's all the media that just, you know, just like how the headline that J.D. Vance read. They manipulate. They just manipulate. It's just political warfare to undermine this conservative, this anti-establish. establishment president. So I do think that we're not going to have it. We'll say as far as Greenland's concerned, they have to have a treaty. And if they won't do the treaty, I think that there's another way

to make that work. I do think, though, if you look at our constitution, it has to be Congress, has to approve any military action, no matter what. They still has to be through Congress. Unfortunately, after 9-11, the Congress has just given all the powers. And we no longer have a legislature. We just have an emperor that we elected. Peabody, can I get your opinion on this? Because, you know, we saw what the late-night comics did. They said that just a diversion, him going after Maduro is just a deflection after the Epstein files.

If you're putting yourself in Trump's shoes, you have so much going on in the world, you just did the mid-east deal, Maduro, where is Greenland legitimately on his list of priorities, in your opinion? Yeah, I don't know where it's on his list. Here's what I will tell you, if you study history, America, for the longest time, we were all about expansionism. So we had the 13 colonies originally, and then we buy Louisiana for $7.2 million from Napoleon because he was fighting everybody in Europe. So then America doubles in size, Rob, if you want to pull up the map, when we bought Louisiana for $7.2 million.

And then from there, we buy Florida for $5 million for nothing. Literally, we bought Florida for $5 million. And then we go to the only one that we had to go to war for land was against Mexico, which we got California, Arizona, New Mexico, all of that. Texas actually wasn't war. Texas became its own country from 1836 to 1845, and they even had their own embassy. If you pull up, Rob, embassy of Texas in London and France, type in Texas Embassy, London, France.

Go to images. If you go to images, if you go to images, take a look at this. This is Texas's embassy, right there, Rob. Click on the one you had right there, on the first one you had. No, no, on the first one you had, Rob. On the first one you had, Rob. Rob, you just had, yeah, zoom in on that one if you can. Yeah, Texas, that is their embassy in London.

And we had it also in France. So Texas chooses to come in and be part of the union, but we have to pay Mexico $3.4 million. We collected. We rolled the debt, and we paid Mexico $15 million. And then Hawaii was known as their own kingdom across a lot of different countries. Hawaii comes in and we're expanding.

And then the last biggest expansion, a president that we had was a guy named James Polk, James Polk draws a line, which he was brilliant, by the way. If you see James Polk's line, Rob, can you type in James Polk, borderline, Cuba, Mexico? If you just type in James Polk border line, Cuba, Mexico, go to images, you'll see it. Here's what he said should be the line. Go a little bit lower.

Yeah, you can just use that. that one, Rob, the one you have up. Make it bigger. His line was Mexico needed to be a part of America. Cuba needed to be a part of America. And he was expanding. And then Congress is like, no, no, no. If we bring Mexico to be a part of it, we're going to get too many Catholics and we're going to have to give them. It's going to confuse the nationalist that we have in America. So then afterwards, World War I happens. And after World War I, when that takes place, you know, everybody was like, this is going to be the last war. We're not going to have another war after this one, and then we're going to be fine. And I'm like, wait a minute, we became isolationist.

We kind of are like, look, don't mind anybody's, but we became a little bit scared. God forbid next war happens because some of these things that we had, we didn't have a lot of weapons. We were not a strong military yet. Then comes the next phase, which is by far the phase that is not the good phase. Post-1950 World War II, when that comes, we decide to intervene in different ways. So we go do coups or sanctions or proxy wars and that's what we start. We start poking and getting involved in 20 elections.

Well, that was a stop communism. Yeah. That's because of the whole common. Let me finish, Rob. So this is the whole thing because of communism. But then guess when that happens after 1950, guess what started in 1947? The CIA started in 1947.

So now since Polk, the first time ever we're getting a president that's thinking about expansionism, without killing anybody. It's like, he just, hey, we're going to go in. Maduro's that. Here's what we're doing 30 to 50 million mares. Quite frankly, if you're American,

how do you think America became America? You think all these lands were just handed to us? You know, let me have this land. Take it. No, you go in and say, if Trump can go and say, Panama Canal, we're doing the steel china, you're not getting involved, period.

I'm putting this year, it's going to come through. And if you don't, I'm going to come out here and take all the oil from you from Venezuela. If you want to come to the Western Hemisphere, This old Monroe Doctrine, we're going to turn into a Donoro Doctrine. The Western Hemisphere's priority is ours. You guys go deal with everything else. So I like that he's expanding and thinking long term because forget this term.

Go next president. And think if China decides to do the next COVID. What is the next COVID thing that China could do? So imagine if, one, they shut down the Panama Canal and food and supplies not coming here. Two, China has all these minerals that you need. If they have control of that and we don't have to... So now he goes and says, no, no, we need Greenland because I can't... The way he's sequencing this out, if people are not following this, so I support this.

I know a lot of people are saying, this is not what I voted for, this is not what I did this. I voted for this. I like the fact that he's playing offense and thinking 40 years, and the more we study history, you'll realize long term this is going to protect Americans. Is this going to be beneficial for everybody around the world? Maybe, but I know it's going to be beneficial for America, so I support it. Well, if you take a look at Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, those places are not better off with American intervention. I will say that, and that was mentioned by Congressman Thomas Massey, who I like a lot.

and I know Trump doesn't like him now, but he's wrong about Venezuela, and I'll tell you simply this. All those countries had one thing in common. They had tribes who hated each other, and when the dominating force, whether Saddam Hussein, whatever, was taken out of power, then it became this killing field. And that's what happens when America interferes in that region. I will say it's not going to happen in Venezuela because you have Catholics there. Here's what you never hear. Hey, a group of Christians went on a train the other day and stabbed a bunch of people. You don't hear that.

So I think it's, you know, we have to be wary of just going in and replacing other leaders around the world. If this guy's a drug pen, it'll be brought out in court. I mean, I think the people who are protesting against this, are these white liberals, but anybody who has any Venezuelan experience in any Venezuelan, they're all celebrating for a reason. And I have to listen to that because I don't know as much as them. Well, I know a lot of Venezuelans in Miami, and not one is upset about Maduro. And by the way, that goes for anyone that has any affiliation with Latin America.

My Colombian friends are happy about this. My Mexican friends about this. anyone who hates communism and fascism and socialism advocates for this. I'll say one thing that I agree with you on. We don't understand that side of the world as well as they thought they did. Something that I always think about is that every country wants the same two things. Peace and prosperity. So in Venezuela, they want that.

In Greenland, they want that. Mexico, they want that on that side of the world. They don't want that. They don't want peace and prosperity. A lot of what they want is jihad. So we went in there trying to give them peace and prosperity and democracy. see, they're like, not so fast. We're jihadists.

We're trying to take over the world in our frame of worldview. So to me, it's completely different what we tried to do toppling these regimes decades ago versus what's happening now. I can tell you about Thomas Massey and some of these guys on not wanting to be involved. And I get that. I get the whole conversations of not wanting to do that. But I don't mind expanding. I don't mind thinking long term.

I don't mind strategizing our next moves. I totally get that part of, I will not want military to go into Greenland like Rand Paul's. Is this the clip with Rand Paul Sand? Go ahead and play this clip where, and Tom, I'm going to come to you next on this one. Go ahead, Paul. Go ahead, G.

It won't happen under my wife. Rob, today your name is G, just so you know that. You know that. A kind of military takeover of Greenland. What I can tell you, though, is if you want to purchase Greenland, the best way would be to try to have goodwill with the people. So first, it would probably require a vote of the people to be independent of Denmark, which I think the people of Greenland are inclined to do.

And then it would have to be some sort of offer of something that makes it better to be part of the United States. We have acquired territory. I mean, half of the United States came to us through the Louisiana purchase. Alaska came to us through a purchase. But you didn't get to those purchases like any deal or diplomacy by insulting your opponent. You get there by actually trying to please. You can posit. So, Tom, your thoughts on this.

So getting back to what you were talking about about American expansion, yeah, that's not. about military intervention and blood on the floor, not at all. Most Americans don't know about a couple of things because our news media refuses to talk about it. But the GIUK gap, some people call it the Juke GIP, which stands for Greenland, Iceland, UK, is a gap in the North Atlantic that is strategically important and over the last five years has had tremendous increase in Russian subactivity. And so in September of last year, what was Operation Arctic Light? That wasn't in the headlines.

It was a major naval exercise by NATO that was on the coast of Iceland, the west coast of Iceland and the east coast. There it is. Arctic Light, major military exercise. Because NATO came to Denmark and said, man, we got to do this exercise here. We're going to do some testing. We want to be below the ice in the North Sea. And we want to have submarine listening installations.

There's things we want to do. And Denmark said, well, I'm a little light on cash this week. I assume you guys are going to pay for it. And there it is. The United States, France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden were part of the bank rule for this. Then let's go back to May. You know what Operation Dynamic Mungoose was? It was another North Atlantic activity because of increased Russian naval activity.

NATO has been up there looking over this for a while, and then the Chinese are pulling in to get minerals. I support this expansion because there's a security element and an expansion element. And let me quote Marco Rubio, the one quote he gave that wasn't on television apparently. He said, look, we're eager to build lasting commercial relationships that benefit Americans and the people of Greenland and Denmark. Our common adversaries are increasingly active in the Arctic. it's a huge concern that the United States and Denmark and the NATO allies share. So if the America expands it, I support what Trump is doing. Look how many parts of this get solved by Trump showing leadership on a world stage and doing this.

I want to give Trump a little credit for one thing. I was very frustrated with Trump, and especially in his first term, when the rhetoric and the bombasticness of his words where we're going to win so big, you're going to get sick of winning and then we weren't winning. And it was so easy to be like, what now? At this point, we are winning and his actions are speaking louder than his words. I also say another thing. The challenge that he had in his first administration in 2016,

he had all these bootlickers around him that wouldn't say, talk back to him. Look what Mike Pence does. Mike Pence was probably the worst VP for not even counteracting, maybe anything that Trump did. Look at the two people closest to Trump now. You have Marco Rubio, who was a foe and was deemed Little Marco that is now maybe the greatest Secretary of State we've seen in our lifetime. And number two, a Trump-hating VP named J.D. Vance, who is a fighter and advocate for him. So in my opinion, Trump is working with people that may or may not he would have aligned within his first time in office.

And they're basically helping him win so big that we're not going to. tired of winning well look at it lon musk as well i mean that they were they had their uh little fight and uh they're back and had dinner this week look he's not afraid to to meet with people and work with people and the president trump has uh has done an exceptional job i believe and i'm i'm shocked how how uh i just can't believe that uh that iranian bombing uh success i mean i i'm against bombing anybody in the Middle East. And I think I just, he knows more than I do. Why don't you know more than I do? Well, I'm against just, you know, unilaterally just going without Congress's approval and bombing. I think that's,

but as far as it seemed to be effective to take out, you know, the nuclear ambition. Everyone says that, Rob, and I want to get your opinion. Every time that we need to do something, we need to have people that can't agree on anything, agree on something about massive magnitude. That to me is counterproductive for our country. Well, in our Constitution, you have to have the Congress decides going to war. If we're going to war, is a single bombing a war? What constitutes a war? I think a bombing constitutes, if you're going to kill people, that constitutes a war. If it's not...

People are, then we have a war on our street every single day. We do. Okay, let me just say this thing. As far as this is really interesting, and I think PBD, you're going to like this. And I think this is, as far as the rare earth minerals, China cutting us off, potentially cutting us off, is a national defense issue. However, there is an answer to this. And this is like, to me, absolutely incredible. There's a chemist, James Tour, T-O-U-R. We know James Tor.

The nanotechnologist using flash jewel technology can make, and you guys know him? This guy is the potential answer for making, you know, getting these rare earth minerals out of recycling old electronics and and taking ash from coal burning plants and then, you know, basically putting between these two hot coils like a toaster and then that turns it. And then when you put, is it chloride on it? It's chlorophyll. Then you have, then you're able to make these things at a lower temperature to get more of these rare earth minerals. And this is the answer.

We don't need China. And truthfully, we don't even need the rare earth minerals in Greenland. You can make it right here. And I think I'm going to go out to that plant in March and check it out. And I think that's the answer. And that's what I... Well, until that day, when they figured that out, I'm glad we're expanding and protecting it to make sure long-term we're good.

But I love that there's ideas like this, and I think that's going to be happening. but somebody online proposed a great idea about how to get Greenland and it's straight up out of Game of Thrones type of stuff and they said why don't we just have Baron Trump marry Princess Isabella of Denmark and Greenland is given to America as dowry payment so not a bad idea I just don't know if that's his type or not she's not bad looking but we'll see I mean that's not what your country can do for you what can you do for your country Aaron Trump we need you buddy step up it's a sacrifice that I think

think he should make. It's a sacrifice that you should make. And by the way, just now, if we want to go into Iran, just now if we want to go into Iran, story just came in a tweet from Chameh, 40 minutes ago, our enemies don't know Iran. In the past, the U.S. failed due to their flawed planning. Day two, today, too, their flawed scheming will cause them to fail again. Okay, so that's Chameh, now keep in mind. I don't know if he's in the country still. No, we don't know that.

And he says, God will and God will bring the feeling of victory to the streets of the hearts of all the Iranian people very soon. So he's been tweeting left and right. Today, like the past, the U.S. is wrong in its calculation about Iran. Today, the Iranian nation is even more equipped and armed than that day before the revolution. Both our spiritual strength and hard conventional weapons can't be compared to what we had before. By the way, he's tweeted like 7, 8, 8, 10 times this morning. The Iranian people will not tolerate the herrings of foreign powers. Okay, so why don't we do this?

Chaminet, a question for you and Pazitschkian. Why did you turn off the internet yesterday? Rob, if you want to go to the tweet of just go to my Twitter account, Rob, you don't even need to go to a different place. Yeah, right there. So zoom in a little bit on the bottom, the chart to show to him. This is the Internet in Iran. Completely shut down as of yesterday.

So Chamehenei and Pazashkian, why did you talk? turn it off. Why is that turned off? Number came in right now. 50 plus people have been killed, died in Iran. Now, some are saying it's in the hundreds when you talk to people who are Iranian. Nobody knows. But there's a lot of different things that are being talked about. And on top of that,

yesterday, I believe, Reza Pahlavi, Rob, if you want to pull up his Twitter account, there was a story by a guy named Eli who tweets out, I send it to you, Rob, in your text. There is a tweet by Eli, Rabbi, I send it in your text. There's a tweet by a guy named Eli that said yesterday, Reza Palavi was going to meet with

Donald Trump. So that was a meeting that came out. I say, they're going to have a meeting. At the beginning, the bottom tweet, Rob, if he can just click on the bottom tweet, this was going viral, breaking Iran's crown prince is going to Marlago to meet with the president. Two hours later, after this goes viral, the same guy retweets and says, correction, good for him. Crown Prince, Reza Palavi will hold a meeting at Marlago, but he is not scheduled to meet with Trump. And then yesterday, Hugh Hewitt asks the president a question of whether he'd be willing to meet with Reza Palavi, and here's what the president had to say. Go ahead, Rob. Would you meet with Crown Prince Pavlai, who is the heir to the constitutional monarchy?

He doesn't want to rule. He would be a symbolic ruler like King Charles. Well, I've watched him, and he seems like a nice person, but I'm not sure that it would be appropriate at this point to do that as president. I think that we should let everybody go out there and we see who emerges. I'm not sure necessarily that it would be an appropriate thing to do. Okay, so he doesn't want to meet with him. Last week, in a Wall Street Journal interview, Reza Pallavi said that we need no help from U.S.

The Iranians are going to be able to pull this up. by themselves. And I said, if that's the case, your father didn't go and become a king without any intervention. He needed help. You know that. The world knows that, that people got involved to get him in there because they wanted Mossadegh out. So that's a famous line at the Wall Street, on which a lot of Iranians were furious with. We don't need a single boot of your military on the ground in Iran. God criticized hardcore by his own people. He flips. Now in every tweet he post, Trump is in the tweet. Rob, if you can go to one of Resop Halibati's tweets where he says, I am grateful that the president, I send you that tweet as well, Rob. But if you just want to go

to his account, you'll see it. Yeah, if you just go to his account, go a little bit lower, not this one. It is, no, not that one. This is, okay, go to, that's the reason, which we'll get to you in a minute, go a little bit lower. Right there, Rob. If you can click on that one, show more, the one above it. Okay. You can use that one as well. It says, I want to thank the leader of the free world President Trump for reiterating to his promise to hold the regime to account. So, Reza, what does that mean?

Do you want intervention or you do not want intervention? So now you're flip-flopping. And by the way, I want you know, if you're going to pull it off, pull it off. It is time for others, including European leaders, to follow his lead and break their silence and act more decisively in support of the people. Now, the one thing that we do know is Netanyahu's met with RP many times. They had a picture, so Israel definitely is supportive of Reza Pallavi. But if you go in a previous tweet, Rob, he says another thing about Trump.

Go above it. Go above it right there. Click on that one, show more. I appreciate President Trump as a leader for once again for emphasizing the necessity of an analysis of time for others. Go back up to the recent tweet that he just had up. He just had a recent tweet that came up like 23 minutes ago. keep that's the one right there. Mr. President, this is an urgent

and immediate call for your attention, support, and action. Last night you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets facing down live bullets. Today, they are, Rob, can you please zoom in a little bit? My eyes are like 47 years old. Today they are facing, not just bullets, but the total communication blackout. No internet, no landlines.

Khomeini fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and will help of your powerful promise to support protesters has threatened the people of the streets with a brutal crackdown and he wants to use his blackout to murder these young heroes. I've called the people to the streets to fight for their freedom

and to overwhelm the security forces with sheer numbers last night. They did that. Your threat to this criminal regime also kept the regime thugs at bay by time is of, but time is of the essence. The people will be on the streets again

in an hour. I'm asking you to help. You have proven, and I know you are a man of peace and a man of ward. Please be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran. Make up your mind. I know that's very clear. Let me just finish this up. Make up your mind.

So do you want intervention or not? Let me give you the other problem you're facing. And by the way, some of the people online that are like, well, Pat supports MEK. Let me just say this flat out. I had a call yesterday with a hire-ups about MEK. This is what I learned about MEK, to all the people that are talking about MEK, MEK, MEK, MEK. So, MECA is somebody that was previously pro-K-K-K-K-K-K-K, and then they went and helped Saddam Hussein is like Marxism meets, you know, jihadist, combined together.

They're like, I don't even know if I would say AOC meets Mamdani of what they're doing. I don't even think she's good for Iran. at all. But that's a name that's somebody that's out there. Let me take what I'm looking for, for some of the people that are wondering if I'm paid by MEK, one minute, so funny, I saw two tweets. One tweet said I'm paid by Qatar, the other tweets said I'm paid by MECA. And six months ago, they said, I got paid by Israel. So who the hell am I getting paid by? Right? I'm not, we're not taking money from anybody. But this is the reality to the Iranian people, and specifically to Reza Palabi. Very important for you. Very, very important to pay attention to this. I contacted

Cali this morning. Rob, can you pull up the Cali numbers on who Cali sees as the next leader for Iran? Okay? So can you zoom in, please? Next leaders for Iran, if you go a little bit lower with the list of names and click more,

they have Mojitaba Khomeini at 25%, which means it's going to be another Khomeini. Then they have Golson Hussein Moseni, 23%. Then have Hassan Khomeini, 19%. Who do you not see on there. You do not see Reza Palavi on there. So I contacted Kalshi and I said, we need to

add Reza Palavi to this list. And Iranians, for those of you guys that are in America, this is what the world is looking at. Nowadays, decisions are being made by Kalshi. Okay, for you guys to go out there and sit there and say, wait a minute, how come he's not on there? By the way, Nargis is not even on this list, but Rezapalvi is not on this list. So the people that are betting are saying we don't believe it's going to be him. But I do believe he has a shot. Here's the screw up. I would have gladly have said this privately, but he's forced me to say all this stuff publicly to him. And all the Iranians, I cannot believe, you know, Shaman, Medved and and she half me, Zadhi, and all this other stuff. Listen, we want to see this happen, okay?

We would like to see this happen. I wish he had competition. There literally is no competition in Iran that's going up against RP. I wish there was. This is why he's so soft. He needs competition. He needs somebody to poke him. He needs somebody to disrupt him. He needs somebody to wake his ass up. And I'm willing to play that card because there's no other candidate. Not Nargis, not any of these other guys. That would be good for the Iranian people. But Reza Palavi, pay very close attention and I'm going to give you a case study of somebody to watch. Venezuela, Maduro was taken. When he was taken, everybody thought it was going to be Maria Corrina Machado. What did he do? He says, no.

He put Maduro's VP in there reporting to Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio is more about intervening. J.D. Vance is not. Watch what Maria Corina Machado did. Pay very close attention because you suck at diplomacy. Reza Pallavi. You absolutely suck at diplomacy. So I'm going to give you this message,

and I'll be the guy that's pushing you around a little bit. And I can be the enemy. Gladly I'm comfortable with it. It doesn't bother me. All these messages and videos you guys make. you're comical to me because you're so worried about, God forbid, somebody says something to this man that is going to be a little bit too sensitive. If you don't talk to him this way, I will gladly talk this way. And you can say whatever you want to say, nothing is going to happen here. I'm going to

be comfortable giving this message. Maria Carina Machado, the worst thing that happened to her to be the leader of Venezuela was when she won the Nobel Peace Prize. The day she wanted, she knew, look how wise she is, she knew if I have to exchange this, this, Nobel Peace Prize to help Venezuela be free, screw this Nobel Peace Prize. I want Venezuela to be free. And you know what she just said? She says, I want to fly out to go meet with the president to hand him over the Nobel Peace Prize. And then the president has asked this question, is this the one, Rob? Is this the short segment? Because I don't want to go through the whole seven-minute one. Sean Haddon, he asked the question and says,

She offered to give you the Nobel Peace Prize. What would you do about it if you can play this coat, please. Go forward. Let me ask you about Maria Carino Machado. I've had her on TV this week. Yeah, she's a very nice person. Okay. She won the Nobel Peace Prize.

When she accepted that Peace Prize, she dedicated it to you. She said to me this week, both on TV and radio. Brilliant. That she wants to give the Nobel Prize, her Nobel Peace Prize, to me, for liberating her than her ego. In 2023, she won over 92% of the vote to be the leader of the opposition. Maduro kept her off the ballot. Do you have any plans to meet with her?

And would you accept the Nobel Prize she wants to hand to you? Well, I understand she's coming in next week sometime. And I look forward to saying hello to her, and I've heard that she wants to do that. That would be a great honor. I did put out eight wars, eight in a quarter, because you know, Thailand and Cambodia started going at it against. I'll put the list up if you want. You can pause it right there. You can pause it right there.

So remember, look at the diplomacy and the wisdom of Maria Carina Machado, who is like, why the hell would you give me the Nobel Peace Prize? This man prevented eight wars. You're giving it to me? She's wise. She says, I would much rather give it to you because she knows she's going to need. his help. I want to applaud you, Reza Palabi. You've been more diplomatic the last four or five days since I called you out on reaching out to the Trump's camp, and apparently you've been trying to get a hold of their camp. You're taking the right approach. But just keep a mind how she played.

That is the best. You are the luckiest man alive to have a case study right now, Venezuela, taking place. That is a very similar story to Iran. Make sure whoever's in your ear, you're making the right next few moves. You're going to need his help. This, nonsense article you did with Wall Street Journal. I hope nobody ever reads it again of, we don't need anybody's help. You've shifted because you're paying close attention. But if you take this next move properly and you go to the man who you're respectful with him, he comes and help you out. You have a standing chance. I don't know what that role is going to be. I'd like to see you be on Cali so other people can vote for it. But according to the people that bet in Las

Vegas, they don't believe you're winning. Iranians, go on Cali on that. Rob. Can we put that link below for Kalshi because the world is seeing this kind of stuff to see who they're going to be rooting for. And FYI, go to another report on Kalshi, Rob, the one that says which leaders are about to fall. Watch this, folks. This is to the Iranians. This is very good for you to see. Watch this one.

Zoom in a little bit, Rob, if you can. Who dare he say is going to go leaders that are going to be out in 2027? Can you put more, Rob on the bottom so the names go lower? Click more. Rob, I also send you an image if you want that. Watch this. Look who's all the way at the top. Wow.

Chamin is number one at 60%. Above everybody, Kier Starrmer, Miguel Dias-Canel, Netanyahu, Zelensky, Orban. He's above it all. So Iranians around the world, if you're watching this, my priority is for you to be free. I'd like to come back and visit first. To the people that are in our piece ear, encourage him to pay very close attention

to how wise of a decision Maria Corrina Machado made, she didn't play this ego thing. We don't need Trump's help. and he's making the moves. If you don't, you're hurting your own people. The Iranians need Trump. You don't have a military to protect them. Yes, they came out.

That's great. But you're going to need Trump's help to be able to help you out with this next move that's taking place. What would that? What kind of help are you talking about? Listen, what kind of help is the following? You threaten somebody right now, I say, I swear to God, if you say anything, I'm going to hit you. You're Rob Schneider. I wouldn't say that.

I wouldn't say it. me out, I say there's two threats. Whose threat do you think carries more weight? Yours or John Jones? I don't threaten people. That's not the question, though. The question is, whose threat carries more weight? Yours or John Jones?

No shit, right? So John Jones has got more threat. So in here... I don't think that that's a proper analogy. But I think it's a proper analogy for the following reason. What would be the... And I'm telling you, I'm answering you a question with a question. To me, what I'm saying is with Iran is

Reza-Palavis' threat mean nothing to come. That's true that. Nothing. Chaminet looks at Resa Palavi and laughs at him. Chaminet looks at Resa Pallavi, you're a little boy, you've never had a job in your life. But Chameh looks at Trump and says, that's not a guy I want to mess with. Chameh fears Trump. He does not fear Reza Pallavi. Anytime you're in this kind of a position, just like Maria Karina Machado, just like a Reza Pallavi, just like these guys, you have to sit there and say, I'm going to need some kind of

leverage from somewhere, not even if it's somebody that fears us, I can get things done for my people. So you're talking to leverage. You're not talking about, I'm talking about specific military action. I'm not talking about go attack and send troops over there. No, not at all. But just the thought of the person knowing, because when Trump threatens and he did what he did to Ghazam Soleimani, Trump's threats are not lightweight threats. He has a reputation. Sometimes when you build that reputation up as a person that when you say you're going to do something, you do it, that's all you need. Okay. All right. I'm just asking. I will say that we have to be, you know, we. I just think if you go back to the show of Iran and how he was pushed out because Iran was getting at that time 16% of the oil profits in 1952 from the predecessor to British Petroleum. And then when they said, well, we want to, we want more. And then the Brits said no. And they said, well, can we at least look at the book? to see if we're getting 16%?

Then they said no. And then they asked for a million dollars from Truman to the Brits to overthrow Mossadegh, because Mossadegh at that point, nationalized the oil. Then he went to Eisenhower and said, can we get? And then Eisenhower said, yes. And then they sent a paid mob in front of the presidential palace. And then they, uh, and then they, that didn't really work. And then they sent two.

And then, you know, Mossadegh had to jump over the, they burned it down. Mosaddeg had to jump over the fence. And then you had 26 years of the show of Iran. And during that time, the secret police, you know, we can't, I mean, I would, I would suggest that they not have that repeat of that. Because what it did was it set up, you know, a similar thing to happen where people were, if you could, uh, were anybody who was the opposition. you follow the podcast to you. You probably don't follow the Iranian story here with us. That's the history that I know about it.

What you just said right there is that you don't want a constitutional monarchy to return to Iran. No, I'm saying that I don't want a secret police underneath the monarchy to return to life. You're talking about. Okay, so then that's under, but here's what you have to realize. I'm saying, look, I don't mind a, you know, a monetary, you know, sorry, a monarchy that would support a constitutional republic of some sort. Absolutely. don't want a return of Savak.

You're absolutely right. Yeah. And by the way, just so you know that, we here are not about going, returning to constitutional monarchy. I'd like to see a republic. I'd like to see a democracy. I'd like to see some like that. But by the way, in regard, the Iranian people decide that. For sure. But also when you talk about Savak, yeah. You know what Savak is? It's a secret police. So Savak is MI6. Savak is CIA. Sevaq is Mossad.

So, but, but the part about Savak that you have to think about is, the way you look at Savag is what Iranians in the Middle East and the world thinks about CIA. Sure. No, they're not wrong. Yeah. So to us, like, you know, we have in our CIA, when we go look at the history of ours with economic hitman, we would go to other countries who had resources and say,

hey, you're going to take this debt from us, you're going to do business with us, or else we're going to kill you. These are documented meetings that we had with world leaders. in the past. Yeah. And so that's Savak. I know it's always very comfortable to. It radicalized people and it set up the situation for the Khomeini.

So I'm saying let's not do a repeat of that. Well, let's the Iranian people. Let them decide. What happened with Reza Palavi at the end is he got soft at the end because he allowed the 3,000 political prisoners when Jimmy Carter's like, release them all. That ended up being Hezbo laws, that ended up being the ISIS, that ended up being all those guys. I'm talking about the 20, respectfully, PBD, if I can call you that. No, respectfully, I think the 26 years of really not allowing any political opposition to his reign

created that kind of tension and that kind of fear. That's a fair argument for that. And I think at the end of the day, I mean, you're a rational person who wants what's best for the Iranian people. And that is, to your credit, and I think we all do. But I think it's important to recognize in the past. For sure. Just like what's happening now. I think you're having not a revolution in this country.

You're having a counter-revolution to some of the lunacy policies that we've had, like opening up 10, you know, the border to millions of people just to simply. But if I have to say this respectfully, if I have to choose Mohamed Rezaa Shah-Palavi, that was still there. And let's just say he never fell in 79 and Savak was still Savag. Let's say Savak is still around until today. If I have to choose what Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi did with Savak, and then later on say his son right now would be the king of Iran,

Reza Pahlavi, who he's not. Versus what Khomeini-K-R-G-C did to the world in the Middle East, 100 out of 100 times, I choose Mohamed Raza-Shah-Palavi and following his son, Reza Pahlavi. Not 80 out of 100 times. 100 out of 100 times. That's your point. And by the way, just so you know,

if Mohamed Rezaa Shah-Palavi was still, he's obviously, he died, he had health issues, but say his son follows his leader and is close to his dad, 9-11 never happens. So 9-11 doesn't happen. Those 3,600 people that were working in the World Trade Center, they're still around. They're still going to their families.

They're still going and spending time with their kids. They're still seeing their parents. They're still able to enjoy the American dream. They're still able to do that. That was due to the fall of the Iranian Revolution. Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, as much shit as everybody from the left, right, and center gives him, he kept the Middle East safe. There was no to little wars in the Middle East when he was the king of Iran.

Now, you can call it Savak, you can call it this, you can call it that. And by the way, even him in interviews said that Savak used to do certain things. Even him with Mike Wallace said, we used to torture, but not anymore. He said that in interview. So you're right, they did some of those things. Well, I mean, if we just look at the interventionist policies of the United States, one of the consistent things that happens, PBD, is that we seem to replace secular leaders

and they get replaced with this Muslim extremists. Well, extremists, I'm just saying Islamists who actually follow what the Quran says. I mean, there's no such thing as moderate Islam that doesn't exist. But I'm saying so, but there's, But this, that's why I don't think, I know Venezuela will not be the same. Because if you take a look at the other presidents, you know, of intervention, Panama and Grenada.

Grenada every year has like a holiday for, you know, commemorating the invasion of Granada and Panama. So I think that you're going to have a very similar situation. And I think we have to be careful, you know, that for Mexico, that's leaning socialistic. And I think what has made Mexico, which is such an incredible country, which is such amazing people, lovely people, is that they've been imprisoned and tortured by, you know, for, I mean, they'll lose 50,000 in less than a decade in Mexico. The cartels, you know, they have to eventually go.

And I don't know how that is done, but it certainly would make Mexico, you know, for the people that would be, it would get them out of the prison that is made from those cartels. Adam. Well, let me stay on Iran for a second. So this is what happens when you go full Islamic. You know, the famous line from the movie Tropic Thunder like, never go full retard. Iran went full Islamic. And we're seeing other case examples of when you go full Islamic, whether it's ISIS, whether it's al-Qaeda, whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's Hamas, whether it's Boko Haram.

You go full Islamic. This is what happens to your society. Speaking of going full Islamic and going full retard, do you see what's going on with your friend Tucker Carlson these days? Who is the Islamic regime Ayatollah playing to use as propaganda in Iran? None other than Tucker Katarsen. Do you have this clip, Rob? This is what the Shah, this is what Ayatollah of Iran is playing

to indoctrinate his own people to galvanize them, to not overthrow his regime. Go ahead. So the Islamic regime right now is literally broadcasting Tucker Carlson interviews in Persian on their 24-hour news channel. The country is in a state of chaos, and yet for some reason, the Islamic regime is choosing to play Tucker Carlson interviews because this is like, you know, it's Islamist propaganda.

I'm just filming this. right now because if I didn't do this, no one would believe this is literally what's going on in occupied Iran right now. I listened to that conversation that he had. Did you listen to what she just said? I did. I did. So why is the

Ayatollah of Iran playing because it's pro-Iranian, obviously. It's pro their regime. Well, do you guys know why would Tucker Carlson defend the Ayatollah regime? I'm not saying, I don't, well, first of all, and I'm not coming at you. Adam, Adam, no, no, no, that you're his friend.

Adam, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's unfair straw man question. Why is he? He's not. He's not defending the Iranian regime. Why are they playing him? Of all the things that they could play, but what you're just done, you're making the argument and you're answering it with your pejorative, perjurative line of questioning. First of all, he is allowed Tucker Carlson. We have to have people interview other people now and and he's interviewing of this you know um the president of but that wasn't the president of iran who he was entering who was interviewing Larry sanger he was interviewing some random guy but but my point is just so you know we need to hear we need to hear some yeah he did not ask

in his questions when he did that interview which i listened to there was questions i wish he would have asked and he didn't i wasn't there i don't know i know that we need to have well we have to have why is the ayatola even thinking about considering playing Tucker Carlson propaganda. To me, these are the questions that need to be out. Well, these are obviously how desperate the situation is in Iran right now that they got. What do we got? We got Tucker.

He's saying he's not attacking. So who's the useful idiot we could use, Tucker Carlson? Well, I would say in that situation, yeah, they feel like that conversation, buttresses their support for the regime. It's not going to make a difference. I was just thinking, you guys know who Amid Malik is. he's the Iranian, Iranian mother, Pakistani father, who invested the $15 million for Tucker to start TCN.

That's number one. Just giving a little bit backstory, history. But then, Rob, I'm just curious, did you hear when Tucker was like, they asked him, so you're buying property in Qatar? And he goes, yeah, because I'm an American. I'm an American citizens do. It's like, what we do is American. It has nothing to do with it.

And it just feels, by it because he was, if I'm not mistaken, he was interviewing the founder of Wikipedia, because they were talking about, you know, the West and how the West talks about this and that, which, I mean, there's, there is a reason that they're playing him. But Tucker and friends and all that aside, the shift of Tucker Carlson from going, like, get it, criticize America. Fine, I criticize America, especially during 9-11 and George Bush. I've revisited that 20 times, but you cannot deny the shift in, you know,

buying land in Qatar, them playing you, which, I mean, of anything, by the way, Internet's down, complete blackout. Why are they playing you, Rob, why aren't they playing Deuce Bigelow? They're not saying Deux Bigelow. It's not. They're playing Tucker Carlson talking crap about the United States. It certainly doesn't look good. Because he went full retard.

No, it certainly doesn't look good. Why do you feel the need to defend Tucker? Because he's not here. He's not here. And also, I think that one of the great strengths that we have and what you guys have and what you have here is whether you like it or not is to hear opposing views. And it may be views of you. don't like. I'm going to give something that's going to be very weird. And that is, and I got to tell you, like, I don't agree with it. But at the same time, to just attack somebody, you can't

take a look at the totality. And yeah, I think it's, I think that there is some potential, you know, corruption in the fact that there's not questions asked that I would have asked, but I'm not that guy. Corruption and who? Well, I'm saying that the interview seemed to have, had a corrupt, I mean, there was some corruption as far as, I just think. I just think. think, you know, journalistically, but that's my opinion. So we're on the same page

that Tucker Kurt Tolson has been corrupted. No, I'm saying that interview, I think, could have been, you know, but I'm not an interviewer. I don't do that. So I would say, like,

you know, what you do is you can put information out there and let people look at it. Why is this a big deal, Adam? Why is this a big deal? That they're playing Tucker. So because originally,

what would have made it a big deal? If he was into, if they're shown what clip? If they're showing what clip of Tucker? What would have made it? What clip would I have said, why are they showing this clip? An interview with who?

With the president of Iran. It was an interview with Wikipedia guy. Yeah. So what was they're trying to rewrite history? I don't know, but all I'm saying is like, who cares if they're showing the clip? Like, you think they're using it to show what? Hey, Tucker's on our side? I'm asking Adam.

What do you think is a... I'm saying... So the fact that they're saying, hey, guys, so let's back up a second, if you may. This regime is about to collapse, in my opinion. Okay, sure. the on Kalshi, who's the number one person on the list that's most likely to be toppled?

Come in a one of the sun. So he's clinging for life. Yes. So what does a desperate animal do when he's clinging to life? He's going to fight back. So he's going to use whatever weapons at his disposal to fight. He's killing his own people. More people have been killed by the Iranian regime. I get that. That's not what I'm asking. This year.

So when you're desperate, you do stupid things. So he brings out this useful idiot, Tucker to say, hey guys, we're actually good people. listen to what this American journalist has to say. But what I'm trying to say is what did he say? They showed a Larry Sanger clip. First of all, they're in free fall.

He's defending the regime. But it's not coming. That's the thing. He's defending the regime. Do you think that they would play a clip of him dismantling the regime? Adam, can I ask you question. Do you think Camany knows that? So they're using a clip of him defending the regime saying, listen, guys, we're not that bad.

You're not making sense. You're not making sense. You're not making sense. respectfully, I think I'm making complete sense. No, you're not because you haven't made one valid point. Comeney has no, it doesn't know how to use the internet. He's not doing it. His people, obviously, somebody is doing that.

But let me, I just want to correct something. I said, I didn't say that, I don't mean to say that I think that Tucker is corrupt. I'm saying that there's something wrong in that conversation that he had because I think that that is, he's missed out an opportunity. It's a question. When you miss out on opportunity and opportunity, opportunity, at some point you say, Maybe you're compromised. Adam.

Here's what I would say. Do I think his positions changed a little bit while he's saying, I've never met anybody about that's from Pakistan? They've been very good. I've never met anybody. I've never read it. It's a little weird on his positioning with the video and the messaging from, you know, five years ago, 10 years ago to where he's at today. Okay, I'll give you that. A little weird on what's going on.

There's other examples. There's many examples to go through. Plyther of examples to go through. He forgot the Internet exists and the Internet is forever. I'm not even talking to Israel. I haven't brought up Israel once. The argument against Israel, call it out, control, all of that stuff. I'm comfortable with that, have that debate.

I'm talking about Iran and the Middle East. Yeah. I look at this clip. I do think he made the president of Iran seem like a nice guy. Sweetheart. I do think he made it. I would have interviewed in a very different way. What I'm specifically isolating is this singular video that people are reacting to say what happened.

Do you know yesterday? Who was the Anna Paulina Luna we had on the podcast? Do you know what clip was going viral yesterday? What was that? Let me show you what clip was going viral yesterday. Anna Paulina Luna, my phone is blowing up. Did you hear? Is this true that Anna Paulina Luna said on your podcast

that Erica Kirk lost her kids? You got to see this clip? By the way, tens of millions of views. So watch this clip. Go ahead, Rob. I don't think that she at all had any connection to that. when I see that, it's like you're already, you're victimizing the victim, if that makes sense.

Because at the end of the day, she did lose her husband. She lost her kids. Like, I was just with her at the White House, and she's... She lost her kids, right? She missed her. She missed her. She meant she lost her kids' husband. Of course, I know she misspoke. What I'm trying to tell you is, the Internet goes and takes this and says,

Erica Kirk lost her kids. I know. That's what happened. So the point I'm going to use, I'm isolating this clip. If Iran was going to use, I'm isolating this clip. If Iran was going to use the TV that they control to show a clip, they should have shown Pezchkian's clip. Not Larry Sank.

Well, how do we know that they haven't shown that as well? That girl who showed it would have also shown that other clip. If they did show, like, for instance, if today somebody shows a clip and says, here's Iran showing a clip of Tucker with the president of Iran. Now I will say Tucker is helping out Iran. But this clip, I don't see a point of it. Let me ask you a question.

Can I just jump in? Can I just jump in? Let me ask Pat. Why would they show anything of Tucker? So let me ask you a question. If all of a sudden they show a clip of PBD podcast in Russia, what does that mean? Exactly. If all of a sudden, they show a clip of us in Israel, what does that mean?

So imagine somebody comes up. You know, the Israeli TV is shown PBD Pied Pied Pock. We always knew they were about pumped a break sky. So we have to give you one counter argument and then you can go. No, no, no. Can I give one, Rob Schneider? No, Adam, you can I give one? I'm going to jump in.

I'm a guess. So let me speak. You are the guest. So let me speak. Go ahead. I know because what you have is you've already made your conclusions and you're not listening to any evidence. And that's ignorant.

You haven't given one shred of evidence. Other than your friends with Tucker. I am friends with Tucker. But I'm also, that has nothing to do with it. I'm also a logical, rational person. And you are not being logical rational. Rob, I want to hear your thoughts. You wouldn't make a straw man argument, what you have.

The thought is simply this, Adam. You have to look at the totality of what somebody's contribution as a journalist. And yes, I, I would have asked different questions. And PBD, you absolutely would have been able to ask more pertinent questions that I think would have been helpful in that conversation. And I was disappointed. But you have to look at the totality.

The totality of Tucker Carlson that he has made, I would say, the United States and the world a freer place because of his journalism. Is it perfect? Is anybody's perfect? And I think like in that particular situation, it wasn't. And I would say corrupt in the sense of, as something was underneath of it that, wasn't as good as it could be, just like a corrupt, you know, if you're making a building and then the beams aren't right. There's something wrong in that conversation. Well, whatever.

The totality of Tucker Carlson is undeniably that he's made journalism a better place. Is it perfect? No. But is it proof that he's being used by somebody on the team of the, of the ignorant team of Comini's internet group? Is that proof of anything? Absolutely not. Adam. You give you a rebuttal with Adam? I will say that. Absolutely not. The problem is you just walked into my trap. Oh, here it comes.

Because here it is. Who did you just call out in an amazing, incredible way at Turning Point USA? What was her name? Candice Owens. Now, the totality of her contribution to society has been incredible. I don't think so. However, the last year or two, she's been a destructive force. And that's exactly what Tucker Carlson has done.

I'm not talking about what he said during 9-11. I'm not saying what he said during COVID. I'm saying on the last year, Tucker Carlson, much like Candice, has taking a weird turn where you become anti-American, anti-truth, and anti-normal American thoughts. All right. So if you're going to call out Candace, how do you not feel like calling out Tucker? Because they're doing the exact same thing. Show me the difference between Tucker and Candace.

The last four accusations, the last four accusations that you made in a row after making a decent argument about saying that it's shifted. Yes, there are shifts. It's happening. But you can't jump to a conclusion that he's anti-American. I think what you have. I didn't say that he's anti-American. You did. You just said, let's go back and listen to it.

I'm saying, you said he was anti-American. You just said it. You just said anti-Matic. Now you're denying it. I bought a house in Qatar because I'm American. If you want to be pro-American, go buy a house in Detroit. But by a house, that's a silly argument. Are we saying that Tucker Carlson hasn't making a drastic turn over the last 12 months where average people are like, what's up with him?

Wait a minute. I say he has. Okay, that's my point. No, but that's not. But these are, okay, we can say, yes, he has, there are concerns. Why is he defending Islam, Muslims, and the Middle East as hardcore as he is? Valid point. That's a valid question.

But the other part here, we have to be very careful. If all of a sudden somebody plays a clip in Russia, in Israel, in Iran, in any of the countries that are enemies and they show a clip of us, what are they going to say? Are they going to say, wait a minute, we always knew. No, no, no, pump the brakes. I would say it if they show it of you, Adam, I'm going to go, yes. Just like Annapolina, we all said, guys, I was taken out of context. We all defended her without even knowing. normal people are that. We're normal people.

You're assuming to defend Tucker because he's done a hundred of those clips. All right. Let's go to next story. Let's go to next story. Don't agree. Let's go to the next story. Tom, what story do you want me to go to that you have a lot of stuff on? Do you want me to go to California to fire? Is that what you want to do? Let's go to that. Let's go to L.A. Mayor Bass, brushes off Palisades fire protest, claims locals are profiting. And Rob, I think you got a clip on this one as well. So if we go to this, page nine. How does she not get recalled by now? I mean, how does that not happen?

Let me have her explain it to you. Go ahead, Rob. One year after the fires, are you surprised that so much of that anger is directed at you? A little, but again, I do understand the anger. If they need to focus them on me, you know, whatever, whatever takes them to heal and get through this. I don't take it personally. Do you think a reason for that anger is misinformation and people are looking for someone to blame? Well, I do have to tell you that there's a reason.

part of it, and this is the part that troubles me the most, is that there are people who have preyed upon people's grief, who are financially benefiting from people's grief, and to deliberately put out misinformation like nobody's rebuilding, permits aren't being given, there are challenges, absolutely, but there is progress being made. There's a rally being held tomorrow called They Let Us Burn. Is that how people should be commemorating this one-year anniversary? Well, I don't think so. Again, I think that there are people that are profiting off of this. And that is what I find very despicable, intentionally putting out misinformation, intentionally profiting from social media, book deals, et cetera. And I think that that's unfortunate. To me, I hope that it's about healing and moving forward and getting this community back. Every single Palisadian that wants to come back, that should be the focus. You have people who continue to tell me every single time I'm here.

This should have never happened. Should this have ever happened? Of course it should have never happened, but I do think that's something that we're all coming to grips with in our world, but certainly within our city, weather events that we would have never thought would have taken place. It's the weather's fault. Yeah, okay.

Hurricane. You can pause right there. Tom thoughts, go for it. I'll go to Tom first and Rob I'll come to you. So this is the what's despicable is that Karen Bass is trying to politically profit from spin. She's turning it into we need to heal and move forward. That means your point doesn't matter. We need to heal and move forward.

Don't look over here. Well, I'll tell you what not to look at. The fire chief and the mayor. She laid off the fire chief. She censored the fire chief. Then the fire chief left. Now they're in court. And that fire chief is probably going to win.

The last two articles I saw Pat is the fire chief, the legal analysts that were out there in the liberal media, we're saying, if this goes to court, Karen Bass and people are going to have to turn over all kinds of text records, everything that was going on on this, including the report that Kristen Cowley said that she had published about readiness. So I think it's despicable that Karen Bass stands there and talks about healing. and moving forward. How about accelerated permitting? How about intervening with some of the insurance claims? How about supporting what's going on there to help people who had homes and were paying taxes, property tax, that part of L.A., get their house back without being interfered? How about pushing back on the Coastal Commission in Malibu that is not allowing people to build certain things because the Greens don't want the houses to be back there at all? And so are using the Coastal Commission to say, oh, we're just going to have the beautiful ocean.

All these rich celebrities and other people, they don't get their homes back, but we get our coastline back. Karen Bass is trying to profit politically by spinning this into being everything that it's not. And meanwhile, the taxpayers of the city of L.A. are going to write a check to Christine Crowley because Karen Bass does not want that court case to go. That's my opinion. That's what legal analysts are saying, is that they're going to write that X, fire chief a check because it was mishandled and they besmirched her her reputation.

And for her to stand there like that, when I saw that, the first thing I thought it was like a staged interview. Oh, here we go. She's going to stand there and get softballs from the reporter. But the reporter, you know, God bless him, tried to push it. And she just, look at the direction. She spun it. There was no accountability, no leadership.

As an ex-resident of L.A., this disgust me because there's people. I know we know a guy named John that we were friendly that had a place in Palisades that is up there. A great guy, part of a large business mentor organization. He's not, everybody has talked about these things. These were good citizens that are being screwed and she's not taking leadership to stand up and say. John lived in Palisades? Hmm? John M.

Yes, sir. Wow, I didn't know that. They're down. Wow. They're down North San Diego. You got to be killed. Oh, wow. Okay.

Rob, what do you think about this? Well, one of my friends who still writes for the Simpsons, he lost his house, and it's devastating. And you have, when you see Karen Bass and you hear her talk, it almost reminds me of something like that Iraqi spokesman during the, during Saddam Hussein. Remember him? What was his name? Iraqi Pete or something, Iraqi. What was his name? Good name.

Iraqi Bob. So, and it just, you don't believe the thing that they said, no, we will. will be the biggest. We will conquer the Americans any day. It's just nothing but lies. We will burn the great Satan to the ground. What is it about the Democrats in Los Angeles and California in general that have this Hitler in the bunker mentality where they'll go down with the ship? You know, they just, how does this person, I remember the city council kicking out somebody in the town that I grew up in for trying to raise taxes for $10. This is somebody that had all their houses burned down

in this city of palisades. And how do you not get rid of the mayor? At what point? You know, I remember I said years ago, it was a Jamie Lissau joke, which is like the, you know, Californians would vote for a bowl of shit if it had a D next to it.

Yep. It's like there's just, it's a group mentality. It's a, that is, you know, they just paint the other side is so evil that they'll stick with somebody who destroyed their community. And don't,

And don't step out a line. Otherwise, they'll come after you. Yeah. It's something out of the Khmer Rouge. I mean, it really is. To hear her, you really hear a communist. And she is. You really hear this communist group think that they never take any personal responsibility for anything.

The fact that she was not there, that she was in Africa at a wedding to be cool, knowing that the winds were coming. And I just don't see California climbing out. of this because I think they have that bunker mentality. And if you give enough stuff away to people and you give them enough free stuff, they'll keep voting for the Democrats. And that's the plan the whole time. And it's not going to change. I don't think in our lifetime.

I don't see a change. And I want it to. Let me go to the next story. Gavin Newsom confronts $18 billion budget disaster. He helped create. This is a New York Post story. After years of surplus, the Golden State is facing staggering deficits that could be ballooned up to $35 billion in coming years, according to the state's legislative.

after years long spending spree. Newsom was expected to launch the 20-20-A presidential but unveils his plan to stanch the bleeding in a major speech Thursday. In it, he'll posture as presidential while aiming to reassure cash-strapped Californians that he's leaving the state in tip-top shape in his final year in office. Critics doubt it will be enough. Governor Newsom's speech will highlight a lot of claimed wins, but Californians see the lack of results every day,

said Senator Republican Leader Brian Jones of San Diego on a statement year after year he is. Policies have pushed opportunity out of the state while driving the cost of living to ever new heights for working families. Only about four years ago, California had flush with cash, was flush with cash with a jaw-dropping surplus of $100 billion, thanks to a rock-wrack-link stock market and COVID-era cash infusions from the federal government. Since then, revenues driven by capital gains taxes on rich,

shrunk as the economy took a nosedive. Tom, your thoughts? I'll tell you, so you're destined to take these last two stories and just get my blood pressure up to the temperature in Death Valley. But I'll tell you what's going on with Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom wants to stay relevant, wants to stay in the headlines, and wants to keep acting presidential and appearing presidential. But you know what? You need, you need a platform and a record. And the record here is pretty gruesome. The number. Numbers are coming out and people are starting to wake up and you're seeing folks start to pre-cover stories. This story could have been re-headlined, can you believe what this guy is going to say tomorrow?

And this is not coming from hard conservative sources. His speech is going to highlight claimed wins. We did this. We did this. We did this. So he's going to put the spin on the winds. And I hope people look underneath and see what's really going on there. And he is, along with Ro Khanna, saying, oh, no, no, no, it's the service union that is bringing the ballot initiative for the billionaire tax.

Bologna, they're doing it, but you get your fingerprints on it. And this is Gavin Newsom. He's going to come out, try to look presidential, take credit for things. But I hope the people of California look to the numbers, and you don't have to look deeply and ask yourself a question, is this what you want? Because you have an opportunity to elect a new governor, but the rest of America needs to wake up. and understand that if this guy can't run the six largest country in the world, then how the hell is he going to run the first, the largest country in the world? Apparently it's the fifth now, Adam.

Yeah, well, I don't care about California at all. I've made that very clear. But I do love the United States of America and I care about the United States of America. In my opinion, and I don't mean this literally, burn it down and start over in California. Because there's nothing good coming out of California. You lived in California 20 years. You were there for a decade. You were there for over a decade.

You spent a lot of time. Most of my life. I don't care about California. I literally like don't think that any California Democrat should ever see the White House. That could be judgment day for America, much like Karen Bass was judgment day for the Pacific Palisades in California.

To me, elections have consequences. I don't care what happens in California. Burn it down and start over, not literally, but I'll be damned if I ever see someone like Gavin Newsom in the White House. Hell. But the scariest part about Adam, what you're saying is on Cal Shee, who's number one, Robert? Who's number one?

I'm sorry, I mean, G. By a mile. And this is where, bro, I'm talking about, this is three years from an election. Just like Scott Walker was number one. But hold on one second. Or Jeff Bush was number one. Hold on one second. Literally, whoever's number one never finishes number one.

Okay, but let me ask you a question. But I hear you think. Real quick, because I want to get to where you were talking about, because you're talking about Adam Evil and biblical, which I love that you went there because it could be the end. Gavin Newsom's at 35%. Who else? Who else? Even like a late-blooming, who's going to challenge him?

We'll see. He's the guy with the hair. He's the guy with the suit. That's what primaries are for. The fat guy from Illinois. Oh, yeah, J.B. You never know. God help us.

And, Rob, and guys, Trump was at 1% by the time there were primaries. And then he took down everybody one by one by one. I think America is smarter than falling for Gavin Newsom's. But, Adam, really? They fell for Russia collusion. They fell for Biden. Biden was in charge. But you're here. They fell for a common.

Give me, like, I'm telling you right now, but this is what when I talk about, bro, the opposite of what we are. There is light and then there is dark. This party has been captured by darkness. And if you can't see, I'm not saying you, I'm saying the people in general, I have family members. I have people that are, they're just so far gone. And Rob made a great point. They can't, it's going down with the sicking ship because you know what they don't want to say? You guys were right.

We're wrong. They have lost the plot. It's complete evil. Let's, can I just jump in for one second? If you take a look at historically, the last time there were three non-consecutive administrations. Are you going to go Nixon, Ford, Carter? And then you had two Regans and one Bush. I think what you have now, since we have a Trump, Biden, Trump,

if you look at historically odds seem to be patterns that happen and I think you're going to have that one Trump and then two Vance's or whoever wins that. Or Ruby I mean they'll be great and I think that whoever runs is going to be a sacrificial land

of the Democratic Party. I'm hopeful because I just don't see it happening in any way, shape or form I think but you have to care about California for no other reason than this the electoral college votes I mean, it is a, it is unbelievable. What do you mean?

Do you think that's ever going to go red? No, but that's why I think at a certain, no, I think that's why you need to be concerned about it because you know how tough it is? You guys know how tough it is for a Republican to win? He's got to like, it was a minor miracle. I think it was the hand of God that helped, you know, every swing state and everything. We just happened to have. We had Charlie Kirk helping with kids, God rest of his soul, 22.5% jump with young voters.

That's amazing. We got Hispanics, we got Hispanic men, black men, you know, we're never going to, white women, we're never going to get. But we did get, you know, a resounding victory, which is great. And we have to continue this because I do think it is a threat against Western civilization. And I think whether the Democrats realize it or not, I think that they are unfortunately playing into the hands of socialism. And they make the mistake of thinking that they want a one-world government, and they make the mistake of thinking they're going to be in charge of it. It's not. It's going to be China.

and we're going to be some weird, small, slightly freer social credit system, in my opinion. Well, I don't not care about the people of California. I love the people of California. I have friends in California. I'm saying the state legislator and whatever's happening there, I have no love for. You know, they say if like there's going to be a plane crash, put your mask on first, then the person next to you, that to me, California is so far gone that the last thing I'm interested is putting a face mask on the people in California. Good luck. You guys figure it out.

You vote for this. Keep doubling down on nonsense. Everybody always says the mask thing. Best of look. Can I ask about the mask? Everybody says, put your mask on first. Oxygen mask. How often does the auction mask come down in a plane?

Have you ever been on a plane? Have you ever been on an oxygen mask? I'm not seriously. No, thank God. Okay, but let me tell you that. Yeah, but they should use that in California. What happens more often than the oxygen mask have? There's turbulence, right?

You've been on a plane of turbulence. And if you have a baby, don't you tighten the baby's belt before your own? So I always find that. Why is there a baby in a seatbelt? No, I'm saying. Because the, because the, idea is before you help your child help put your mask on first. I would say that that's not a very valid thing, and everybody keeps using that.

And I would just say the real thing is that there's turbulence. And if there's turbulence, you help your kid first, unless you're a heathen. So I would just say that's such a false statement. Of all the things Rob gets pissed off, like, you know what? I'm sick in time. First put your seatbelt on before you can't, you know. No, I'm just saying, because I hear that so many times that I just thought, can somebody poke a hole in it for once? I just want to let you know if I was sitting on a plane, I put my mouth on first.

That was a brilliant argument. Oh, my God. That was a great argument. Life changing all this time. Okay, so let's talk about some of these billionaires that are leaving. Who's leaving? I'm going to tell you, Larry Page, Google, they're leaving. Is he leaving for sure?

They just bought two houses next to each other, Miami, Miami home, 173.4 billion million dollars. Two bedrooms. Garage. Let me read both of these, and I'm coming to you, Tom. So, by the way, that's the place that they picked up. These guys, it's a nice little two-bedroom condo, 4173 million. It's a joke, by the way. It's a joke, but they are leaving.

So billionaire makes strategic moves out of California ahead of proposed wealth taxes. Now, this is something we talked to last week with Chammat and some of the other guys. But as a clock tick on California's billionaire facing a proposed wealth tax, some of America's top business leaders are making strategic moves to leave the Golden State.

Larry Page appears to be distancing himself from California as a public filing reviewed by Fox News Digital from the California Secretary of State Office show several business entities linked to Page were moved out of the state in December ahead of Jan 1st, 2026. Residency, they tied to the proposed tax.

I'm sure you're going to get into that time. Oracle founder Larry Ellison has taken some steps that, signal a potential pullback from California through details, though details of a reported $45 million off-market sale of a San Francisco home have not been independently confirmed by major outlets. Tom, this 5% tax bill to billionaire starting January 1st, 2026. How much can you tell about it? What's the latest on this? So, well, let's first recap. If you haven't been paying, if you haven't heard the podcast recently,

the origin of it is SEIU, which is one of the first. of the largest bluest service employee unions in the world. Very big in California, very, very big in Nevada, where everybody that works for hotels is part of it. This is the group that is putting the billionaire tax on as a ballot initiative. Now, the politicians are supporting this because that way it's not on them. Oh, it's a ballot initiative being brought by voters. Voters just like you, workers. So point one, it's a ballot initiative being brought this way. Point two, that ballot initiative isn't going to be voted until later this year, but everybody is trying to get out now. Now, why are they getting out?

Because they believe it's going to pass. Because, like, if no one knows anything about Proposition 13, which was a property tax initiative that goes back to the 70s. 78. Thank you. That has regulated property tax for the older people that never sold their home so that their property taxes don't go up. So ballot initiatives in California have teeth. Larry Page and people are handicapping, Pat, the odds of this going down, and everybody believes that the ballot initiative is going to pass and pass big

because California is so blue. They've got the union behind it. They need several hundred thousand votes to get it finished on the ballot. And SEIU is going to help it done. And guess what Larry Page is doing? These people say, oh, they're not really moving. They're just buying homes in Florida and they're going to live 189 days in Florida. Well, wait a minute.

Larry Page, I don't care about his $173 million property purchase in Miami. A lot of people can do that and they have second and third homes in Aspen and, you know, in the Montana and places. But he also moved Coop. Coop is his family office, billions and billions of dollars. he has moved the registration for COOP, K-O-O-P, to Florida, along with his flying car initiative, and he has an influenza research company that he's moved. So this doesn't look like a guy just buying a house of Miami-Path. This is a guy who believes this ballot initiative is going to pass,

and he has pulled up stakes, and he is moved. Well, it's not legal. It's not constitutional. You can't tax... I just don't think that'll hold up. They tried to do that a separate tax for people in Arizona making over $250,000 a year. And it did pass because, you know, who wouldn't vote for that if you're making under that? So the Democrats, of course, will push that through. And that was also funded $25 million by the teachers union.

And it did pass, but it got kicked out at the Supreme Court level. So I just don't know, you know, somebody has to look up the state constitution and see if you could tax people separately or unevenly. So I just don't think that that's, but I wouldn't put it past that it'll pass. But I just don't know if it would hold muster. But who would want to take the chance? Well, thank you for bringing that up.

The legal procedure would be that you could contest it, but it's called concurrence. In California, if it's a ballot initiative that is deemed to be constitutional by at least one judge, and this would be the Ninth Circus, and you know what that means, the Ninth Circuit, also known as a Ninth Circus,

and they say, it appears to be constitutional to us. It would get implemented, and they could start collecting the tax, and then everyone has to fight it, and if they win it and overthrow it, then the state can appeal it, then you get to wait for the Supreme Court,

and then you got to ask yourself a question. If it all comes down, what are the odds of California that gives you your money back? So the billioners are handicapping that and saying, my lawyer may tell me, well, you know, this doesn't have to happen. But Pat, if your lawyer said, you know, option one, Pat, you can move to Florida or option two,

you're probably going to win, but it could take eight years. It'll be really bloody and you're going to have to pay the tax on day one. You would look at it and go, wait a minute. Maybe I just move and then let this thing play out. That makes sense. Who the hell is going to risk that? Yeah. Okay, look at this.

Will California billionaire tax initiative pass? 49% is saying yes on calci 49% That's just today, wait till the summer When the political ads rub up Go to January 1st It was at like 10% And then all of a sudden

Boom It got up to 49% So Adam you were going to say something Yeah If California doesn't want your billionaires We'll take them here in Florida Come on down to Miami You know Mayor Francis Suarez

Put his name on the map Shout out to him when Silicon Valley was asking what they could do. He says, how can I help? And now Miami is now the capital of capital. It's no secret if you just trust, what's this word? Data. Societies that attract and keep billionaires grow. And societies that demonize billionaires will decline.

What do billionaires bring to your society? Well, jobs, money, taxes, innovation, opportunity, long-term thinking. California, if you don't want your billionaires, we'll gladly take them here. And the 305, by the way, shout out to the Miami Hurricanes. You're going to be the national champions this year. Respect. It's going to be good if it's going to be Miami Hurricanes, Indiana. Let's do one last one and wrap up.

So Trump says he's banning institutional. Rob, do you have that one? He's banning institutional. Let me go to this one. Institutional investment from scooping up single family homes. We've been talking about that for a while. This is big. If they pull the shop, this is very good for.

America. For very long time, Biden and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American dream. It was a reward for hard working, working hard and doing the right things. But now, because the record high inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, the American dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans, Trump wrote on truth social. Tom, thoughts on this. Well, he's calling on Congress to codify it. I mean, let's make a law. Let's do this. I think this is. this is smart. A lot of people say, well, wait a minute, wait a minute, now he's interfering with this. Real estate's just an asset class. Banks want to buy asset classes. Well, hang on. When you're

talking about the power of America, which is its citizens, and you're talking about that we've had a situation where, you know, building has been kind of flatlined. I don't think we're going to have more than four million transactions for 2006 after four million last year. and the housing starts are low. I think this is smart saying, wait a minute. You know, I don't think it's a good idea that large banking or private equity simply buy up an asset class like this and rent it back to the American worker when there's a bigger thing here.

And the bigger thing is that home equity had been a key part of people's savings, which impacts their retirement. So this is also the federal government stepping in who needs to be paying for Social Security, which is probably going to get cut, ladies and gentlemen, and stopping this will stop the shortage, part of the shortage. Pat will stop because when these houses get bought up, there's fewer houses for people to buy. And so the price of those houses that are available to general public is pushed up additionally by all that printing of money. Rob. But I think this is a good thing. You have Black Rock.

You're talking $5 trillion. You're talking Black Rock owns most of the pharmaceutical industry, if not most of the Dow Jones. If you're thinking about tech stocks and you're thinking about this Black Rock State Street and Vanguard, that is more powerful. That is a real unelected group that can force policy. It can affect the economy and is. I mean, if you take that $5 trillion,

the buying potential of that, and what they've done to single-family homes. I would just say to you this. When was the last time you washed your rental car? You don't do it, you don't own it, you don't give a shit about it. But kids, how do we expect these young Americans to care about the American dream if they're not given a piece of it? If they don't have the opportunity to get it, earn a piece of it. So we have to do that.

When you have BlackRock that will buy a home in a neighborhood for $300,000 and sell it to themselves for $700,000, they're artificially causing inflation. and making the house purchases unbuyable for the average young person. I'm talking 30 and under. And in their 30s for crying out loud, we're still living with their parents. They also are getting tax credits for buying for this purchase, and they're getting loans for exceedingly a better deal than the young people can't. So we need to have some regulation.

And that's why the president does not traditionally like to get involved with regulations. But in this situation, it has to happen because I believe there's a monopoly going in place. And if you think, you know, if the government thought that, you know, Ma Bell back of the time and long-distance phone companies were becoming a monopoly, certainly, and that was worthy of being broken up, certainly the idea of one big company like BlackRock buying up single-family homes in the hundreds of thousands is a monopoly. And that needs to be taken care of. And Robert Kennedy and I talked about that, you know, a year ago. And thankfully, President Trump is doing another something great to help the American people. I agree. I would tell you, this means they are paying attention to the affordability crisis that's taking place.

And that's great. So to people that are 18 to 29 years old, 18 to 30 years old, this is directed to you. And this is very good news for you. Because we want the youngans to get married, to have kids. to buy a house, to have their dreams become a reality. The more, anytime you build a company, when we build the insurance company at the beginning, I told my guys, I said, listen,

the previous company lost a lot of people. Why? Because the comp benefited the guys at the top. Once the comp benefited everybody, and the newest guy can win, you'll continue winning. We have to make sure the comp benefits right now, the newer people that are coming up as well, 18 to 29,

And if we can do that, affordability can be fixed. I think midterms will be scored away. But if they don't figure this out by around July, August, it's going to be a very, very deadly midterms that they'll have. Adam. I don't forget. Yeah, well, this comes down to affordability. You know, I applaud President Trump for making housing affordable.

You know how I feel about buying a house and renting. Part of the reason that I've been such an advocate for not buying a house is because it's been completely unaffordable. How could the average 25%? year old, 30 year old, 40 year old, buy a house when you're competing with Black Rock for that specific house. So I'm all for people getting married. I'm all for people getting a house, but not if it's going to drive you into debt. So to me, if you can't afford a house, stop complaining about it, rent, save that money, invest in other appreciating assets.

Right. Until then, stop complaining. And what's the definition of crazy doing the same thing over and over again? Until housing is affordable. It's almost irrelevant if you want to buy a house. You can't afford it. You can't afford it, but it's not because of it's market forces. It's falsely inflated market forces that are preventing it. Whatever the reason is you can't afford it. No, no, no, but I'm saying is that there is.

That's like saying, hey, I want to be on SNL. It's like, well, you're not funny. Well, okay, you are funny, but you're not living in New York. Let me hear. You're living in a wrong. There's an artificial, but there's an artificially saying that like the people auditioning for Saturday Night Live, we're not going to pick any of those people. already pre-picked. That's the same thing Black Rock's doing now is that they're artificially

raising the prices of homes and making it unaffordable. And they're buying too many and forcing people to become renters so they can't even rent because they literally, they'll buy 30,000 homes. So what the president is doing is, and it has to be done through, you know, codified through Congress. But he is going to limit, it has to be done in two ways, the ability to buy a massive amount, and they shouldn't be able to speculate on that. And so you just, you have to, but the legislation is going to be critical. Tom, you'll know that. The legislation has to be critical so that it isn't have loopholes in it that they continue.

So this isn't just something. It has to be able to help. And what's going to help right away is to take away any tax credits that BlackRock currently receives for buying homes. Very good point. So that has to be done. So let me ask you one question because I agree with you. We got to wrap up. If you want to buy a house, should you buy it before or after regulation sets place?

you have to buy it when you can afford it in any particular place. And this regulation, though, should be able to stabilize the house prices, if not lower them. And we'll see. I mean, I'm hopeful. It's not going to happen overnight, though. It's not going to happen overnight. Well, folks, we'll see what's going to happen here. Rob, appreciate you for coming on.

Thank you for having me. I hope I... We have watched you a hundred times more than you watched us over the years. Literally, you are unbelievable entertainer. and what you've done in movies, some of the, I could say five of the top 20 movie clips that you watch on rerun, like we love 51states. Thank you. And you're funny as hell on 51st states, but we can keep going with that. You've done great work, but we appreciate you for coming on.

Thanks for having me. For those that are watching, have an incredible weekend. God bless, we will do this again next week. Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye. Take care, everybody. Thank you.
