Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to taste sweetly good. I know this life meant 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 one of one?

My son's right. I think I've ever said this before. You know things are bad when you don't put your hand in Scott Jennings' fate. I don't know if you guys saw this. Like, what are you doing? The guy's putting his hands in his face. Scott Jennings flips out. Then we hear all these stories, this executive and Chase, you know,

apparently, allegedly, tells this other Indian guy that's got a very interesting looking face that apparently he told, she told him, I bet your little Asian fishhead wife doesn't have these cannons. I can't believe. Who talks like that? I hope it's not true. I know. It's not. In an even, like you put, you threaten your employees like that.

And by the way, we, so that story got like 40, 40, 50 million views on Xeus today. you know, that's inappropriate to talk like that, Tom. I don't know, like maybe to you, it's like normal talking like that. It's just not, and then by the way, a few things that top stories that we have to go through, the War Powers Act, we have to address that what Pete Hex said yesterday in May 1st deadline. Today is May 1st. It's a special day because Ayrton Senna with Jake coming in here telling the story. Nice.

But, May 1st is a special day, 1994. Jake reminded us. But anyways, also with that, you know, May 1st deadline, can he continue war on Iran after that U.S. Israel War on Iran news? That's an Al Jazeer story. We'll hit that. Aside from that, Comey, when I saw this, I'm like, there's no way this guy's getting arrested. And he showed up himself, right? Vinny, he pulls up himself in.

It's not like Todd Blanche did it. It's not like the DOJ did it. No. This is a jury. This is a grand jury that came up. So it's a legit thing that's going on. They hear evidence. Yeah.

This isn't out of the blue. You know, some of them could even be on his side saying, hey, you can't talk like that. The former director of FBI, you say 8647. Come on. And then Clip comes out with the Liering Center, crushed it. They're out of business. Apparently the FBI saying nobody's working at it there. And some people say Nick Shirley should get credit for that.

They shouldn't get credit for that. I think he definitely should get credit for that. And then Fauci, one of Fauci's partners came up and apparently he got in trouble. We'll talk about that. Redistricting, massive story. The moment that story was dropped, I had. Governor Westmore here, we were talking about it. And it's definitely 12 additional seats Republicans pick up like this.

Four in Florida. This is massive, just so you know that for this to go through. Spencer Pratt pulls up the best campaign video ad we've seen in a long time. And it had a direct impact on Calci. On Calci immediately. Erica Kirk came up and she shot a video. Some say she was dressed like M&M, but she shot a video talking about, you know, people that are criticizing, you know, there was so much reaction to it, you know, that we have to talk about it. Everybody's like, how come you're not talking about?

I'm like, I don't want to talk about my friend's wife. But, you know, we will talk about it and I give some thoughts here. The guys want to talk about it. They got some, you know, things they want to share about that. And then aside from that, you know, you ever hear the saying, you know, this person's the cure for insomnia? You ever hear that saying? Like, if you have a sleeping problem, this is like scientific right now. It's no longer like being disputed.

Scientists are agreeing with this. Kamala Harris is the cure for insomnia. This man who's a saxophone guy, poor guy sitting there trying to do his job. Kamala Harris has given a speech. He's knocked out on the other side. He's putting Big Pharma out of business. This guy's putting Big Pharma out of business. Big Pharma is selling medicine to put people to sleep.

They're like, no, just put Kamala Harris for speech. You'll follow sleep. And by the, what's crazy is Vinny, that she just went up on calcium. And then, you know, the fact that she could be the nominee. You know, they're like, she could be the nominee as a leading candidate. And who knows? It'll be great because she'll. Small numbers, but 4x over 4 days.

It is what it is. Forex over 4 days. You've got to respect it. Trump compliments this NASA scientist's ears in a very Trump way that you have to see. He says, look at his ears. You know, what did he say? He can hear anything? He's like, this guy.

You just have to see this. I don't even want it. That's like your buddy on the NFL Nest. He looked at him and said, no, no, no, that guy's the go. Nobody, listen, nobody, nobody puts him in the corner. That guy's got the ears, one of a kind. He knows who he is. He's listening.

He listens to every conversation in the world. And then aside from that, we have a couple other things. Video comes out, doing MRI on study on kids on the power of watching videos, what it does to you on, what do you call it, doom scrolling or dead scrolling? What is the phrase? Doom scrolling. How it is for you, how bad it is for you. A couple of the videos that.

came up about zombie-like state San Francisco, drug addicts. You got Tesla hits a milestone with semi-truck production. The stock is up. What else can I talk about? Freaking Anapolina Luna, rock star. Rockstar. They're trying to do whatever they can because she is exposing a lot of stuff. She's such a rock star.

Great job for what she's doing. Gas prices, wherever you are, it's probably not at a discount right now. It apparently hit. Touch $126. Okay, which is the highest in four years. Hit 126. Some are now saying it could go to $200. Some are concerned about it.

And then we got Elon and Open AI Sam Altman's lawyer getting into a fight. And one story that I don't appreciate really pisses me off, honestly, this is the kind of stories that you're reading. You're like, you guys got to get your act together. Why 47 is the age, you hit peak happiness according to science. I'm done. After 47, you're screwed. Okay, but 47 is that.

the age. We're going to try to prove that wrong to see if they know what they're talking about. That's a big number. That's a big number 47. So having said that, before we get started, I don't like that Joe kick is out to the Nuggets. That's the team I was rooting for. I don't like that. I don't like that Anthony Edwards is injured. Makes the NBA boring. A bunch of people are getting injured. You know, similar moves. He was trying to make a couple guys under ACL that, you know, I relate to as a professional athlete here on our campus. But we're rooting for Wemby. I want to Wemby, I'm very proud of the New York Mets for having a worst record in Major League baseball. Nice.

Congratulations to the Mets. You guys are crushing it with the biggest payroll and you can't even buy wins anymore. It's terrible. I feel bad for them because at least the Dodgers can buy wins. You know, when they go pay $7 billion or however much money, they're paying to players, they're winning. But this is going to be an interesting season for baseball. 7.2. 7.2 billion.

Having said that, okay, couple things. I want to share with you. One, one. The FLB shoes. People were messaging me, size 14. It's coming soon. They were messaging us about a couple different things that's coming up as opal. What's the surprise with the big shoe?

We have a lot of stuff that's going on. But right now when you look at this, a couple of these sizes at 10, 10 and a half, 11, we have less than 40 pairs of those sizes. So if you're somebody that wants to get your future looks bright shoes and you haven't yet for yourself or your spouse, go get them. Especially if you're walking a lot. Yesterday we're sitting in a meeting, literally Tom and I, in Palm Beach with two billionaires, of which one of them gave $50 million to, you know,

he gave a lot of money to the previous campaign. And we're talking business. We're talking about all this other stuff. And I say, hey, one of our products is this shoe. I take the shoe out. The guy literally grabs the shoe out of my hand. He says, you got to be kidding me. These are $600.

Yeah. Show me that. These are 600. I say, yeah, they're $1,200. And they have the super foam and they're light and they're comfortable. And they're made in the same exact factories as, you know, Hermes and Louis Vuitton and all this other stuff. So if you haven't yet picked that up, Rob, go play the clip about FLB shoes

and then we'll get right into the podcast. When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast. We had the choice to make it cheap. We chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscanyero. We chose true Italian craftsmanship. Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.

We chose patience, spending two years perfected, every detail and we chose the finest quality at every step introducing the future looks bright collection not rushed not disposable not ordinary rather intentional luxurious timeless go to vutemurch.com place your order get yourself your spouse your husband your son client of yours nflb future looks bright shoe design in florida 100% made in italy With that being said, let's get right into it. The story I want to get into is May 1st is the deadline. Can he continue war on Iran after that?

Story pops out, Rob, I think you got a video on this. There's two. Then one of them is the Pete Hecks at one. The other one is the fact that May 1st is the deadline. Let's start off with the Pete Hex said one. Go for it. Ultimately, I would defer to the White House and White House counsel on that. However, we are in a ceasefire right now,

which our understanding means the 60-day clock. pauses or stops in a ceasefire. So you're not in. It's our understanding, just so you know. Okay, well, I do not believe the statute would support that. I think the 60 days runs maybe tomorrow, and it's going to pose a really important legal question for the administration. We have serious constitutional concerns,

and we don't want to layer those with additional statutory concerns. I yield back, Mr. All right, Rob, is that the clip on the war powers? Yes, sir. Okay, so this was a conversation that also came up, in the meeting that we had yesterday. Senator Republicans are calling on Trump administration to clarify how it is interpreting the 60-day clock

under the War Powers Act, its military campaign against Iran. The 60-day deadline, depending on who's counting, is arriving on requiring the president to seek authorization or wind-up operation, wind-down operation. The first strike against Iran was February 28, but Defense Secretary Pete Seck that offered a different view during the testimony before the Senate Armed Service, committee suggesting the clock can pause or stop during the ceasefire Republicans include

some of who have floated with supporting a war powers resolution appeared open to exit's interpretation. It sounds like there's some wiggle room he provided there for himself, said Senator Todd Young from Indiana. We'll take a look whatever they send over. Presumably they'll communicate that in a formal way. They have in a very careful way follow up the War Powers Act so far. Tom, I believe the War Powers Act is the one from Nixon in 73 that he was not supportive of that you have to go get approval for everything with Congress. So tell us why this is so important. So the War Powers Act happened in 1973.

And 1973 was significant because for four years, the United States had been secretly bombing the living squat out of Cambodia. From 1969 to 1973, it was called the secret bombing of Cambodia because they thought that there were communist insurgents that were over there operating camps, supply lines and a lot of havoc that they were flowing into Vietnam. And everybody wanted the Lyndon Johnson's war, because remember, the Vietnam War hit full speed within a year of Johnson being president. And actually, practically before all of the national mourning over Kennedy was over, Johnson had already met with military leaders and strategists and elected to escalate what was going on in Vietnam. So this had been going on for like years and years and years.

And finally, Pat, the U.S. Congress is like, look, if we can't get a ceasefire, we can't get out of Vietnam and all these people are being drafted. And, you know, I had an uncle that went and didn't come back, unfortunately, and his name's on the Vietnam War wall there in Washington. And so Congress came up, Pat, and said, okay, stop. Unless you have specific instructions and support and a vote. that says, yes, we're declaring war. Just like when the president went before Congress and said, I want you to declare war on Japan after Pearl Harbor, it was a very formal vote. And the Congress said, yes, we're declaring war. So it was all aligned. And, you know, Vietnam was not aligned. So all of this madness came together, Pat, in 1973. And they said, that's it. A president can go

60 days if they have to do some sort of emergency act, some bad thing happened. You know, this is what goes on Vinnie, you know what I mean? The military has to respond and do something about something and you can't wait for Congress and enable gazing and you can't put your plans in public. So Congress said, okay, it is true that the president needs the pen, Pat, to act as a leader and to take steps. But after 60 days, if it's going further, you've got to get our permission. And that's the War Powers Act. And that's why they put it in place. Vinny. And thank you, Pat. My question to you is, Tom, does Does Pete Hexeth and the Department of War have to prove with intel behind closed doors,

not in front of the public, that these threats, the nuclear plans and all that stuff, is actually valid to continue it? Because I think 60 days, it's still a lot to just go, okay, we're going to go to war because we said this, and then we're going to go after 60 days, do they have to prove that this is correct? Is that what you're saying? The test is called the unavoidable military necessity. And there are subcommittees that are secret subcommittees. There are, I believe there's 11 congressmen right now that will get secret briefings from the Department of Defense.

It's like the Defense Select Subcommittee or something like that, Rob, if you look it up, I think that's what it's called. I think it is called that, the Defense Select Subcommittee. And so the president, joint chiefs, and only those people know to create these committees for the purpose of discussing it. but it's unavoidable military necessity that they have to be convinced. And so they said, okay, then the subcommittee whispers to everybody else, we need to vote yes on this. We've seen it. We've seen this.

We've talked to them. Yep, there it is. There it is. Unavoidable military necessity. Right there. So, Tom, that's a checks imbalance. Even though, I mean, it is, you know, if a president says, hey, we're going to go to war, we're going to go to war.

But at least this, after 60 days, is a checks and balance. It's a good, okay, enough is enough. You guys don't have any proof or whatever, whichever way that they go. Right, but we live in a world where, aha, chewing gum in class, impeach the bastard. Yeah. It's terrible. And it's stupid. And it's split.

No, no, I'm being ridiculous for a reason. I think you understand, Adam. It's like, it's ridiculous. We want to go after our president rather than trying to get ourselves toward, you know, a more unified, you know, world. And yes, war is a serious thing. But that's what's going on. They're like, ha, ha, it's May 1st. If you keep doing this, now we're going to come after you.

I feel like now, you know, Iran could practically, you know, nuke Pakistan and the U.S. Congress wouldn't vote, you know, to give him war powers simply because they want to catch him and they want to do these things. Because I honestly think that the Dem side of this doesn't care. Although I with the same voice, I'll say, you know what? You know what? I want this thing over. Yeah, you and me both. Yeah, but let me tell you, there's some people that are the extremists

that are going to use this to say, this gives Congress the power to want to impeach and hold them accountable because they're going to do. So the games are about to start. It's a big game. And you know who knows about this leverage as well? Iran knows about this leverage on how they don't roll with this. I want to show a couple clips on Adam.

I'm going to come to you. First clip I want to show you, Rob, if you want to go to HECSED, is what he does, these three clips. I want to show all three of them. Very important. Here's HECD going back and forward with Elizabeth Warren. Go ahead, Rob. What I give, what you give, what other.

give, I'm not looking for money. I don't do it for money. I don't do it for profit. I don't do it for stocks. And that's part of the reason why I'm able to be effective in this job. Because no one owns me. No one owns this department. No one owns this president. And we can execute for the American people and we do. So that's Hexon. This one viral. Another clip is him going back and forth on a complete different point of the mantra being, you know, diversity and look what he had to say here. Go for it. Hexon was on fire yesterday. I haven't talked about it as much in these hearings because this is a budget hearing about $1.5 trillion that's historic and significant. But underwriting the change that we've seen at our department was a laser focus on getting back to basics. And the key word to that is merit.

We had a department that was obsessed with gender, ideology, and race, diversity, equity, and inclusion. In fact, the mantra you would hear dripping from the lips of generals with a serious. serious look on their face was our diversity is our strength. It's the dumbest thing together. Which is the single dumbest phrase in military history. Of course, our diversity is not our strength. Our unity is our strength. Our shared purpose.

The flag we wear and the constitution we serve to defend. And when you clear that debris away, whether it's Marxist ideologies or social engineering or political correctness or quotas based on gender and diversity, you get the best of the best rising up. regardless of gender, regardless of race, motivated by that environment where merit reigns, its accountability standards. And by the way, Rochanna called them out and said, hey, this has cost American people, X, Y, Z amount of money because of gas prices. But this is another one here, Rob,

if you want to play. Always had a merit-based system. That's not the argument. No, we have not. Not under the Biden administration. We did not. It became social engineering, not merit, and we're fixing it. Quick. No, it did not. Yeah. So you say, no, it's not. Go on the bottom of the tweet. If you can see the picture, click on that. That's real, by the way. That's what we were dealing with. That's absolutely real. That's what we were dealing with. So don't tell me all this BS on what happened. The pictures and the documentation is there. Adam, where are you at with the story? Look, here's what I think is going on. So the way that the World Powers Act worked is this. So the president can start a fight and he could, in the case of Iran, whoops some freaking A-Double S. But after 60 days, the Congress gets to go, no, no, no, time out, time out, time out. You can't keep fighting without permission. Yeah. So what Pete Hegset did was like, no, no, no, there's a loophole here. We're in a ceasefire right now. We're technically not even fighting for the last couple weeks. So the 60 days doesn't even count. So there's sort of like a loophole timeout situation.

It's like this is a random reference. You'll get this. Remember in Wayne's World, the great movie, a classic movie, when they were playing hockey in the street. And he's like, game on. And then a car would come, game off. That's what's going on here right now. like, no, you can't do this because by the way, speaking of the worst powers act, Libya, what Obama did that, he did it without the congressional approval. Afghanistan, we've been doing this war in Iran for how many weeks now, about eight weeks? How long were we in Afghanistan?

That wasn't a war. That was a mission trip. So the hypocrisy is kind of out there, but the last point is this. It's amazing to me how the Democrats hate what's going on in Iran for the last eight weeks, but love the last four years of the war in Ukraine.

Which one is it? They love Biden's war, but they hate Trump's war. I'm smelling a little hypocrisy there. And just FYI, if in regard to P. Hexeth, you want that guy in charge of the Department of War. Because at the end of the day,

our military, we need, bro, you have to have trained killers. Sorry, it's, as brutally honest, the mission is to protect the country from evil. Foreign and the, they have to protect us and that's the guy that you want. He's not worried about masks.

He's not worried about LGBT. But I'm telling you, you're going to expect a lot of games. It is officially opened up for a lot of games. And FYI, if Congress, they lose the house, which the redistricting thing that happened is massive. But let's just say they control the house. Immediately, 27, all you get, 2027 could be the year of gridlock.

It's going to be the year of gridlock. Everything is locked up in politics. nothing's going to get done. It's going to be fight, fight, fight, back to impeach, impeach, impeach, and it's going to go into 2028 presidential election, and then that's going to come next. So to me, this could lead to a lot of nasty stuff. So one of the things that happened that's massive, you see the tweet from President Obama. I brought this up to Governor Westmore. We were talking about it. And all of a sudden, you know, phone starts blowing up that Obama just tweeted this. What did he tweet? He tweeted about, you know, how massive this is, how horrible this.

is for America. And when Obama says something like that, obviously the people that are, you know, on the complete opposite side, they're like, if Obama's pissed off, that means something good is going on. Rob, just go to his account. Just go to people. All you have to do is go to people. Yeah. So you see, I don't know if it's this one or not, Rob. We had it a couple days ago. Just, yeah. So right there. Okay. So this is the tweet that he puts up there. It says, to the Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, free and state legislator to gerrymandar legislative district to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities so long as they do it under the guise of partisanship

rather than explicit racial bias. And it serves as just one more example of how the majority of the Supreme Court seems intent on abandoning its role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy. Anyways, the good news is that we can come back and pop, by winning elections, by winning midterm, so he's kind of using this as that. Why is this such a big deal? If you go to the actual article, Rob, and show what it did

on the redistricting side, which is absolutely massive. Absolutely massive. Supreme Court ruled for it. So what do you mean Supreme Court ruled for it? Supreme Court ruled for it. Six to three. And this Supreme Court that ruled forward allows, if this goes through, okay, 6-3, Louisiana's 20-24 mid-decade redistricting that produce a serpentine district represented by this calling it an illegal racial gerrymandering, while Obama argued the decision weakened a voting rights act.

Do you have that image, Rob, of shows all the states of what the plus minus is? You know the one that we showed a couple days ago? The Northeast. Oh, my God. No, not the Northeast. The Southeast, I think, is the one. Yeah, we just showed it a couple days ago. When you see, Vinnie, have you seen this?

I have. It is unbelievable. We just showed the two days ago. The one that I saw the middle, it was like all the way in the middle. It was cut out. I think it's a first row. Yeah, if you zoom into this one. Okay, is it an image or is it a video?

See if you can zoom in. There's one of them. We showed it a couple days ago. Anyways, let me just read this and then a rabble find it on why this. Well, Tom, I'll come to you here. Why is this such a big deal? Rob, I'll find it and send it to you. Right.

It's such a big deal because something that was good becomes bad in the hands of government. Like once upon time your money was good. As soon as they get it, they spend it twice and put you in debt. So what happened was once upon a time they had the Voting Rights Act because they wanted to make sure that all people everywhere had the right to vote. Citizens had the right to vote. This is a good thing. But then what they did, and by the way, this has got fingerprints all the way of the Southern Poverty Law Center, ladies and gentlemen.

They all said, well, we need a district here that's more like this. We need a district here that's more like that. So they started drawing lines, Pat, to create, well, we think it would be more fair. Well, wait, who's making the decision? We. We who? We are. And Democrats started drawing.

district rather than territorial districts. Now, each district needs to have a certain number of citizens in it. So most people said, well, why don't we draw these districts so that they have the number of citizens and make them reasonably sized? Why reasonably sized? Well, so that Vinny, as Congressman, could serve all the people in a given area and that it rains on them the same way, the economy is the same way, and Vinny can serve them. Instead, they made these bizarre districts, and I'll let you get to this. This one, quick-back.

This right here. So if you look at this, Vinnie, this is current, and that's what's going to happen on the right after the Supreme Court ruling. So you see the blue, they call the bottom left, the one on Louisiana all the way to the left. You see that how it looks like a snake? Yeah, that's one that's the snake. Yes. So this was racial gerrymandering, is what they call it.

There's partisan, there's bipartisan, there's racial. They're calling this, the Supreme Court ruled that this is racial gerrymandering. Democrats held 24 seats in these states. Now, after what just passed, Vinnie, Republicans gained 12 more seats, including nine without Section 2 of the VRA. Florida alone picked up four new seats with this new ruling. So the reason why this is very important, even if they win the midterms, it may not matter because you're going to have to beat out more than these seats. That's what a lot of people, that's what caused Barack Obama to get out of bed to tweet. He doesn't tweet like Trump tweet.

No. His tweets are once a week. He's a scheduled guy. He's got stuff to do. He's very busy. So, you know, the Republicans here are celebrating saying this could be a massive thing. So now the Democrats are sitting around saying, what are we going to do next? What can we do ourselves?

This is the challenge. Tom, go ahead. Continue. Now, Kathy Hockel speaks up. Oh, my gosh, my gosh, my gosh. But then she gets busted. Rob, show the map. Kathy Hokel helped draw this one in New York.

Yeah, that really makes it easy for a House of Representatives to serve the people. You go all the way down Manhattan, cross the bridge, go on the backside of here, go around here, make a left, and then go down to another group of people. This is gerrymandering where they're trying to determine the outcome. Right? Because when just natural boundaries of cities, areas, states were not to their preferences, then what do they want to put? They want to put DEI. What do they want to put? They want to put the gerrymandering.

And then remember, rule one, accuse the other guy of what you're doing. of what you're guilty of. Correct. To cover up the fact that you're doing it anyway. And that's what happened here. And so now the gerrymandering, you know, of these bizarre district goes back. Now, Pat, there's still going to be arguments of, wait, should that square district be two miles to the west of town or two miles to the east? So there's still going to be arguments on this.

But when you get more natural-looking districts, look at what happens. The South is inherently conservative. the Northeast will still be liberal, but you won't have this bizarre here because ask yourself a question. Take a look at that, Adam. Do you think that, if you were the congressman in New York, Adam, do you think that map there

that he just showed, does that make it easy for you to serve the people? How do you serve the people? It's a long walk, and you've got to make a right left and it's very complicated. And all this, all this, because this party has zero leaders, Pat, with any policy.

So these are the little games that they have to play. And notice how now the Republicans have to play the game back at them. But why don't you have a good freaking leader? Have somebody to step up with policies. This doesn't even have to worry about this, Tom. Does that make sense? Adam, your thoughts. Look, at the end of the day, the Supreme Court basically said,

yeah, enough with the racism. You're drawing districts and gerrymandering and redistricting and everything you're doing based on race. I think specifically black people. That's what they're doing. Now, it'd be a very weird situation if everybody, in the country had to robotically vote based on their race. The whites vote for this.

The blacks vote for this. Latinos vote for this. The Jews, they're confused. They don't know where to go these days. But you know who's loving this right now? One group, the NFL. Why? Because the NFL has been telling us for years that we need to end racism.

It's in all the end zones. The NBA also, they're doing the bubble, the social justice warriors. Guys, we're ending racism methodically. So now the whole conversation is going to be about midterms. You remember four years ago they were talking about the big red wave that was supposedly coming and was like a red tear drop because it didn't happen. Now, maybe, just maybe, PBD, is this alleged blue wave that's coming, might not come at all.

So we'll see what here. At the end of day, it comes down to he who controls the map, controls the power. And I think Republicans just said, uh, uh, uh, checkmate. Here's what we got from the Supreme Court. You know what I would say, he who controls the Supreme Court. controls a lot of things. Yeah. 6 to 3.

Are you flipping kidding me? You said that in 2020? I said the most important thing that has happened is these guys. Is the fact that it's 6 to 3 and one of them is not well right now and it's on the left. So he may even be replaced that it could end up being a 7-2 before he's done with. I'd say very important. Who's on the left? Who was the one that was not doing well?

It's the gentleman that's 73, 74 years old. He had a hospital scare recently. Who, Alito? Alito? No, but he's, no, he's full-on. conservative. Not Alito. Not Alito. It was another one that wasn't doing well. Clarence Thomas? He's the most conservative.

No, no, not conservative. It was somebody on the RBG? I don't know who it is. RBG. No, I'm just saying it. RBG is the rest of soul. I don't recall that. I think the three on the left are the Supreme Court Justice with the three record deal. This is a, this is a

very, very, very big situation here. Very, very big situation. Oh, he was a conservative. Alito was on the conservative side. I thought it was somebody on the Sometimes they vote with the dissenting party. Even if that goes, they're still going to maintain a 6-3. This is probably more than being a president, this control here with Supreme Court is massive. Because if this was the other way around 6-3-3, what do you think happens right now?

This racial gerrymandering continues. And it's the whole DEI conversations, fairness, all this stuff. So anyways, this is a good thing. This is a good thing. Not for everybody, but this is a good thing for a lot of people. The next one I want to get into is Comey. So while all this stuff is going on, next thing you know, story comes out, even Vinny was like hopeful. It's like, wait a minute.

Is there actually going to be accountability? So you mean to tell me, Comey went and, you know, took him, surrenders himself to the police? Yes, that did not happen. Yes. Which clip do you have, Rob? Would James Comey going out there and surrendering to the police? I have CNN reporting that he turned himself into police. Okay, go for it.

Play that one first. Major breaking news on the new indictment against former FBI director James Comey, we've learned that Comey has just surrendered himself at a federal courthouse in Virginia. This is massive. Facing a new set of charges all because of a social media post. All because of it. That's not. Oh, yeah, that's in a nothing. Yeah.

Comey posted this photo to Instagram last year showing shells on a beach spelling out 86.47. That's right. 86 is slang for getting rid of or cutting someone off at a bar. Trump, of course, is the 47th president. Prosecutors say that is a clear threat. Comey, though, says he is innocent. Okay. Well, they're back.

This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.

Oh. Pause the right then. And then Trump had a couple thoughts to say about it, Rob, if I'm not mistaken. You have that one as well. Do you really think your life was in danger? Probably, I don't know. Based on what I'm seeing at the, yeah, the people like Comey have created tremendous danger, I think, for politicians and others. He, you know, Comey is a dirty cop. He's a very dirty cop. He cheated on the elections. He tried to help Hillary Clinton, as you know. He dismissed a lot of things

that he should have proceeded with. I wasn't involved, but he should have proceeded with. No, he's a dirty cop. He's a crooked man. Yeah. So just, I want to let everybody know. And Rob, I sent you some stuff on Slack. And also, I'm going to show you something. I got into another argument that's still happening right now

with Chad GBT. It's in complete denial that Comey was indicted. And I'll do an exercise with Rob here in a second. Guys, for everybody that's saying, oh, they're going after. Comey, his political. Do me a favor. Shut up, okay?

A grand jury indicted Comey, okay? Not the Department of Justice. The grand jury sits in a courtroom and they hear evidence and came back with a two-count indictment. And his indictments are number one, knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life and to inflict bodily harm on the president. And second, knowingly and willfully transmitting an interstate commerce a threat to kill the president. That means you're on social media, you're out there and you're putting it out in the world. Now, and Rob, these are the links that I send you.

The DOJ is now pushing to seize Comey's profits from his crime book as prosecutors believe part of the reason he posted a threat on Trump's life was to drum up book sales. The forfeit action includes, and Comey's indictment points out that Comey posted the threat five days before the book release, which was May 2nd, 2025. His IG shows 8647 was surrounded by the book promo post and the indictment demands. Comy forfeits to the United States any property real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to set offense. And Pat, this is his book. This is his, Comey, he's bragging about the book. And look at what's in the book.

It says, former director Comey reunites with propagandists of his first legal thrillers for the strongest outlying yet. The U.S. attorney Carmen Garcia is trying to take down Samuel Buchanan, this is in the book, A far-right media personality with a popular podcast, vilifying those he thinks are destroying America. Ready for this? This is the part. Intellectuals, immigrants, and people of color. Here we go. Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the First Amendment when he signed,

signaled out his enemies by name and suggested something should be done about them. His fans have obliged killing or grievously injuring some of his foes. Tell me that's not a freaking dog whistle about his stupid book and him trying to call it out. And let's all, let's just all take a moment. Stop playing this game, Pat, because I keep hearing it from the left. No, he just stumbled. You believe he stumbled upon shells that said 86-47, you're lying to yourself. And do me a favor, Rob. Go to Chad GBT. I hope yours is different than mine, because mine won't do it. Go to chat GBT. I put, was James Comey indicted on two counts? Let's see if it does it, because it's not doing it for me. Watch this, Pat.

Let's see. I think it might do it. It's doing it for you. It's not doing it for me. Let's see. Oh, yes. Okay. Mine, and I'll show you right now, Pat,

just so I want to prove to everybody out here, mine says what? My chat, GBT is saying what? No, James Comey has not been indicted. There's no confirmed charge from the U.S. Department of Justice, no court ruling. And I've been going back with this thing for hours. Did you see the argument?

But I want, and I'll admit it. I didn't have that much hope, but I didn't give it up. This is what I'm. I'm talking about. You do the crime, you're going to pay the price. And let's see. Let's see if it sticks. Because again, he's indicted. It's going to go in front of the grand jury. The case is going to be heard. But I'm happy, Pat, something is happening. Was he, was he on the auto pen? Was he pardoned? James Comey? Was he? Checked to see if Comey was part. Was he pardoned,

Rob? That's a, that's something I want to, I don't think he was. I know Fouchi wasn't. We'll get into that story. No, he wasn't. Okay. So this is a good sign, and this proves what Todd Blanche is doing, Pat. Todd Blanche, you have to give this guy credit. In less than a month, this is happening. SPLC is happening for the funding of the KKK. Fauci's advisor, we're going to get to the COVID Somalia daycare. He is not, Brennan's under investigation.

The January 6th liar, Cassidy Hutchinson is getting investigated. He's not playing games, and I absolutely love it. And this proves that. I think the Brennan investigation, they dropped. They did? Yeah, they dropped immediately. But in less than a month. Oh, but he's doing it.

Look what he's doing. Yeah. Is this Todd Blanche speaking? Go for it. The Justice Department in this filing today also issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Comey. Is it your belief that he is a continued public threat? And is there a request also for detention that you anticipate will be made in this case? So the Department of Justice does not issue arrest warrants, grand juries do.

And so the grand jury returned and I've been an arrest warrant. I expect that there will be communication with Mr. Comey's counsel and we'll go from there. This case will proceed like hundreds of others do every year. There will be some sort of arraignment set by the judge or assigned to the magistrate judge. And when that happens, you'll know about it. This is big, by the way. This could be very, very real, Tom. So first of all, I think it's still shocking that reporters that could do basic research about process,

just like we do, don't do that, and they attempt to ask these gotcha questions. Or they do the research and they still ask a gotcha questions. So the reporting just disappoints me yet again. It doesn't surprise me. But the other side of it here is there's two things that just happened in the past week that I connected the dots on, and it really bothers me. And I was talking to one of my daughters about it last night. The first is Cole Thomas Allen puts a manifesto out.

And then everybody puts on Twitter, I mean everybody, many significant people, including Obama himself, put out on Twitter, gosh, we don't understand what the motive is. We don't understand what's going on. Although. Although, we don't know. Although. Right?

We don't have that. And, you know, we turn down the rhetoric. And finally, a few people like, you know, Van Jones, I appreciated what Van Jones said on CNN. He was measured. Did you see this, Pat? He kind of slowed down a bit. And he said, I'm a little worried about what's happening here.

We played it. And some people are there thinking about it. But you've got, oh, we don't know what this is. When the top law enforcement officer in the United States at the time, you know, now goes walking a beach in 8647, that's a call. That's an encouragement. That's an angry statement that he's putting out there. And we wonder how Cole Thomas Allen and others feel enabled or feel that they're validated or they, and he writes in there about. how he's doing, who he's apologizing for and who he's doing it for. And to me, you can't have it both

ways. You can't say I got no idea how a guy like Tol Thomas Allen gets radicalized. Well, he wasn't radicalized by a particular, you know, group of people that he was hanging out with. It was just, he reached his breaking point. But what's he reading every day? What's he looking at? Maybe a leader doing things like this? I mean, it just, it disgusts me, Pat, because I look at it that way. Now, the one thing I will say about Comey, I think this was strategic by Comey. If you go in and surrender, I don't think you get the perp walk. And what he didn't want was somebody to come to his door and knock on the door pat and say, hey, James, you got to come with us.

You know, we got to go do the, we got to process you. Yep, okay. And get in the back of a car. I think he was being strategic about it. Didn't want that, didn't want to have all those pictures on social media and everything. So he goes in and says, hey, guys, I'm surrendering here. Let's do the processing so it's done more quietly. I think it was strategic because he's trying to keep it out of the public eye.

And then he goes home and makes his little cute little video that he puts out. And he's been by the – let's not forget who James called me is, Pat. He's been around since the Hillary and then changing the charging dock, all the stuff that they did, Russia collusion, everything. He's not – Trump fired this guy. Adam. Well, Adam. Guys, I got to be honest with you.

I think you're overblowing this big time. Really? I think you're making much ado about nothing. You know who's loving this more than anybody right now? James Comey. Because here's a guy who nobody's thought of in years, and all of a sudden he's the most relevant guy in politics, James Comey. So Trump doesn't like him now,

but I remember one thing in about 2016, a couple weeks before the election. You know who hated him more than anybody? Hillary Clinton, because a lot of people blame Trump winning and Hillary losing on one person, James Comey. he came out there, I want to say 10 days before the election, talking about Hillary's emails, Hillary's emails, Hillary's emails, Hillary's emails came out there, needlessly did a press conference. He's like, all right, guys, we're not charging Hillary, but damn,

she's sloppy, 11 days before the presidential election. You could honestly, honestly say that James Comey helped Trump get elected, much like the Hunter Biden laptop, New York Postole, bearing the story, helped Biden get elected. So be careful what you wish for. I don't think anything's going to happen. I don't think, listen, two things can be true at once. I think James Comey's playing stupid.

I don't know what 86-47 means. I just saw it on the seat shells. I have no clue. Although I'm the greatest sleuth in the world, FBI director, I don't know what that means. Yeah. Okay. But at the same time, I think he's playing dumb on all this.

I think all of that stuff, all of that stuff that they talk about. When they act, I saw Lena Habo rock star on The View, and they were talking, they were going back and forth and saying, 86 doesn't mean that. Have you looked at the dictionary, Sunday Holston? It's just like, you know exactly what 86-47 means. Like, don't act like you don't know. Well, what's the proof of it?

Three assassination attempts. Yep. What else you want to say? By the clip came up about this Cole Thomas Allen. I want to say the H isn't there. Cole Thomas Allen. Vinny just showed me, Rob, do you want to show this clip? A couple of things like, when do you think about security,

is this the one or Zoom Zounds in? How the hell? Does this guy go in And Vinny says it I'm gonna give credit to Vinny Dog is following him Vinny Yep And you told me

And this is a real clip The dog follows him in The guys with a shotgun Then watch what happened Seconds later That's a canine Top left corner Pat so the canines in there

Something's obviously hitting Brother my brother does this for a living My brother trains for a canine dogs The dog is marked Like something's happening And then he's talking to the shooter And then he walks away And then he runs out

With a shotgun Shooter comes up with a shotgun Oh my brother Oh, wow. Is that crazy? And by the way, go back 10 seconds. Go back 10 seconds. Just watch this.

Go ahead. Keep playing it. So the dog's in there. Obviously something's up. The dog's on him. Right there. Pause it right there and pause and see what everybody is looking at. So the two on the wall, they're looking to the left.

The guy on the right, he's scoping around. The two cops are taking down the- Metal detector. The one in the top left with the blue, he's watching Instagram reels. the one on the bottom left the one on the bottom left could be watching the Peabody podcast and so keep it going

they're doing their jobs but then watch what happens suddenly they're all looking to the left this is like just bad timing you'll see because that guy to the right starts looking to his left and then he sees that person moving and the timing boom

and then the guy did he shoot him he shot and then they come out of the door look at the top right door opens up with two people coming and ready she looks ready she's ready to go okay but

It's like this. Wow, he's fast. But you want to see something else here that was very interesting I was watching last night? Back this up. Back this up. People are saying that law enforcement were covering something up, that the cop in the lower left actually shot and hit the cop above the metal detector in the chest on the bulletproof vest. He didn't hit the suspect if you look down low because watch what happens to the cop on the upper wall.

Fast forward 10 seconds. Slow, slow, slow, slow. Yeah, go, Robbie. Watch the cop on the upper wall. The lower cop fires, and the middle cop on the wall there drops like a sack of potatoes. Oh, yeah, in the middle, the top, behind the wall. And this guy comes back. Are you okay?

You okay? See? He's Dan. He's Dan. He's down. He hit him in the vest. He's trying to breathe. She, I think it's a she.

You don't have to say sack of potatoes. He fell. She fell. I think he was a she fat. She fell because she got shot. Yeah. So, playback speed here decreased. But when you think about it, this is where people start questioning.

The failure of security. rolling. Yeah, but I don't, listen, I'm just going to push back on this little bit, because I've been in this building. Do you know how close he was to the president here when he ran here? He was on a different floor. No, you could hear the shooting. You could hear it, of course, just like we heard a shooting half a block away. He was on a different floor. So this guy's plan was to run past screening, clearance, all these guns go down the stairs. That's where allegedly Wolf Blitzer saw him and he had no shoe on or something like that. So as much as this guy had a plan, which was ridiculous.

The fact that he walked in the hallways, the hotel. Yeah. He wasn't even close to the president. But Adam, not even close to the president, but if you think about it, look how many people are around, a guy that's wearing all black, is carrying something, goes in a room. The dog is triggering on him. Look at this guy. That's him in his room, bro. He has guns and stuff. That's a high IQ walk right there. Look at that. Yeah, very, I think he's a very high IQ. He took a selfie before that?

Oh, yeah. Oh, my, my way, this was all the set up, all the, all the, all the theorists out that. This is all fake. This isn't real, by the, oh, yeah. Coming in the gym, what do you mean? It's not real. People were saying that this was staged. This is staged. What was? This whole thing was staged, Adam.

I don't know. I'm not following what you're saying. Adam, there are people on social. You already lost me. You already lost me. This was a setup. This is not real. Left and right.

This was a staged event. Because he wants to build the ballroom. This guy, this California's got, yeah. You know, you know why. So to me, a part of it is, a part of it is, a part of this when you look at this, is, you know, even when we have security, and we have security with us all the time,

and I'll watch them, my guys, I'll watch them, and I'll say, like, if we go to a place, and when they're alert, they're alert. But when they're not, I'm like, what would I do? What would a bad guy do right now when they're not alert? You have plenty of time, if you think about it. You have plenty of time. the amount of alertness you need today,

it's like immediate alertness. And the biggest distraction cops and secret service have today that they didn't have 20 years ago is what? Their phone. I go to church. Honestly, I go to every Sunday when we go to this church, won't say which one it is, when we go to this church.

The same female cop is standing to the right, Vinnie, the entire time she just looks at her phone. And I say to myself, What purpose are you serving here? None. Nothing. No.

Go home. I wanted to go to the pastor and say, fire this person, bring somebody else in, ask them to take their freaking phones away while they're working in your pain down. Yeah. Because they literally stand there and they're just like this. While there's security on Sunday services coming in and out. And then what are you going to happen? And you see the cameras.

Yep. And I walk with Tico and Dylan, look at this. Why are you even here? I want to go tell her and say, can I ask you a question? like, what are you doing here? Yeah. What are you doing here? But I'm not the person that's paying them.

So sometimes, you know, with the distractions that we have, one funny moment with this whole thing is, this lady here asks him, will you be wearing a bulletproof vest? This is brilliant. Okay? And Trump, of course. Comedian. His answer, he was ready.

Go ahead, Tom. Is there talks about you potentially wearing a bulletproof vest moving forward, given you have now been shot at? I don't know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier. that's good man that's self-deprecation you gotta be honest so many he's kind of cute he's kind of cute

by the way I have to I have to agree with you what you're saying on the cell phone thing I mean how many rules are we seeing established in schools kids got to be off the cell phone right dinners we do dinner cell phones off you know when Shabbat dinner if you ever do that no cell phones just being together

One thing that I agree with you is if you're working and you're protecting the president, get off Instagram, dude, get off TikTok, especially, be in the moment. I think that's what you're saying. Oh, that's exactly what I'm saying. Like, for instance, when we're at the office and I'm doing meetings and they're sitting on the other side and doing their thing, I don't have a problem with that. But when we're out in premises, I want you alert, 24-7 alert, no phones, nothing. And so, I mean, it's not like they were looking at it.

their phone's there anyway. I'm not making any point with that. All I'm saying is there's a lot of distractions today and you have to be alert on everything that you're doing. You're in a hotel where the public's walking around at any point, anybody can do something. The dog walks in and the guy's pulling back. He's like, the dog is knowing something. And then, you haven't even seen the video before. He goes in with a bag. Yes. Like to hide that, you have to be in a bag. So he's in there split second turns around and then comes out. Boom. He walked in with a bag. What the hell you think is in a bag this big? Golf clubs? Yeah. You know, it's a president plays golf.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Not this one. Maybe it's a gift. Yeah, go up to the top clip rob. The bottom one, go one down right there. See if it shows that he walks in first. Boy, he's carrying a bag. He's carrying a gun.

A shotgun. Yeah. A shot gun. And you don't think what's in there, like you don't think that sounds a little bit, looks a little bit. So I don't know. Man. I think, you know, the president is a class act when he says they're doing their best.

They're doing this. they're doing that. He needs to say that. The rest of the world needs to say, what the hell are you guys doing when it comes down to having a guy like that coming through and he's able to do what he's doing? So I don't know. I think security measures need to always be ready. So this goes back to Comey. Hey, Comey, you don't think that Seashell 86-47 is a big deal? You lose credibility when it happens at a moment like this. So by the way, the grand jury, the timing of it was perfect. The perfect timing grand jury. When do they do it after the third attempt? make the argument. Make the argument. Perfect timing on that. Let me get to the next story. What do you think is going to happen with Comey, though?

I don't think. Yeah, I don't think anything is going to happen. You know that book you talked about? He said they're going to have to pay the money back for the book. How many copies he think that book sold? $86.47.000. 20,000 copies. That's it. His memoir sold 600,000 copies. That's a horrible book. That book only sold 20,000 copies. Good for him. Even with 8647, nobody cared to read this book. Wow. Okay, nobody cared to read this book. You would think the director of FBI, who is that famous after 8647, the book would have done more than 20,000 copies.

Go pull it up, 20,000 to 60,000 copies. It was this least performing books. It's not like they're going to collect that much money back. Go ahead and pull up the sales. It's a couple hundred thousand dollars. It didn't change his life. But those types of behaviorate impacts. What do I think is going to happen to them?

Probably not much. Not much is going to happen to them. But I do think even this, as they go through, through, do I think there's a 20% chance of having something that he has to do? I think there is. And I like that. I like the 20. Community service. Have him to go pick up trash on the beach. Collect all the seashells on the beach. Exactly. I like that. Let's get to the next story. Next story here is, again, accountability since we're on the topic of accountability. Fauci's business partner, Rob. What pages that story with Fauci's business partner? I don't believe

it's in the prep. I'll grab you this. Do you want to pull that out? Because we just talked about it a couple days ago. David Moran's, Pat. He's a former senior advisor to Mr. Fauci. Yeah, so this comes out pressure under DOJ to prosecute Anthony Fauci, grown after advisor indicted with days left to charge. COVID lies. If you go a little bit low and read this. The indictment of Dr. Anthony Fauci's former advisor, David Morris Tuesday revived calls for the Justice Department to prosecute Fauci himself for allegedly lying to Congress about funding risky research in China

before COVID-19, just two weeks remain before the five-year deal legal deadline on May 11 to indict Fauci for denying under oath that he funded gain of function, experiments that modified bad coronavirus and the same city where the pandemic started, more than 78 years old, was charged with one count of conspiracy,

two counts of destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigation, and two counts of concealment, removal or mutilation of records relating to the origins of COVID-19. He faces up to 501. years in prison. 51 years in prison, Vinnie.

And again, giving credit when you said, don't give up hope, Todd Blanche is in there and all these things are happening, Pat. By the way, so he served from 2006 to 2022. That's pretty freaking long. So what he's accused of, hiding and altering records during federal investigations at the COVID-19. And there's a bunch of emails, Rob. There's some screenshots of what they're actually doing. Suppressed alternative theories about how the pandemic started. When you hear that, when you hear these people, these are the senior advisors to everything COVID. Tom, if you're suppressing the alternate theories, you know what you're trying to do? You're trying to cover up that this thing came out of a lab that we own that they're

running in freaking Wuhan China. Okay, so then when people like me say, you know what, I think this thing might have been planned. I think this thing might have been a leak for them to destroy the presidency, because I don't care who's in charge, Tom. If a pandemic hits during your presidency, you're not going win the re-election. Period. End of story. Okay. And I love that. You said that, Pat. His charges are conspiracy against the United States. Full stop. They conspired. Destruction, alteration, and falsification of records, concealment or removal of records, and aiding and abetting. Okay? And then this is, Bob, the alleged indictment, his co-conspirators, the liberty concealed all the information, Pat. And what's beautiful about this, what's beautiful, Rand Paul laid it out perfectly. He said,

Fauci lied to Congress felony destroyed federal records felony advising others to destroy federal records as a felony Fauci did all three okay and if his advisor is indicted that means he should be going down because May 11th Pat is a five-year statute of limitation deadline for Fauci even though Fauci and this is how Trump is playing it beautifully with the timing and nobody's been talking about the auto pen that he reversed his May 11th is the deadline but Fauci is um part of it's um part of the time and he's um part hardened, he might, this is where Trump is going to go, by the way, they're all null and void. Get him. And that's after May 11th.

After May 11th. It has to happen before May 11th. Happened before May 11th. It has happened. Or else it's gone. Or else it's gone. But I'm telling you right now, I don't want anything for my birthday. I don't want anything for Christmas.

I don't want any gifts ever. I want this guy because I think Dr. Fauci, Tony Fauci is in charge, is responsible, Pat. for the millions of people that are gone, that have died, that lost their grandparents, that couldn't go to funerals, that couldn't see their loved ones dying in front of them, all the stuff that they put us through, the turbo cancer that's happening right now that's exploding. The young children in this freaking country that have myocarditis because of the decisions on purpose, because of him, there has to be accountability. And he's the one.

He's the head of the snake, and it has to be him, Pat. And I pray that it happens. Rob, what was that email you just pulled up a minute ago? from 2021. This is from David Morenz, where he wrote, and I'll read it this way. Go ahead, Tom. You are right.

I need to be more careful. So he wrote this to someone. However, if I mentioned before, I learned from our Freedom of Information Act lady here. So someone that was in their office that counseled them on that. How to make emails disappear after I am foyer. Now, thanks you for being a moron.

After I am foyad. What foyerd mean is after I am serve with the Freedom of Information Act disclosure, but before the search stock, so I think starts, so I think we're safe. Wow. Plus, I deleted most of those emails after sending them to Gmail. Oh, my goodness. So the FBI could say, get his Gmail account, call Google, subpoena the whole thing,

which has them to send the whole cloud index over here. This clearly shows the conspiracy and the destruction of records and the rerouting. Now, to suppress alternative, you know, theories, Vinnie, that's not the crime. And I really don't care about that because there could be 20 theories about how a medication works or doesn't work. And the theories are in research. What I love is the conspiracy to, and I was waiting for them to use the obstruction of justice.

Where's the obstruction of justice clause? But destroying records, rerouting, and then this smoking gun here, this is, I'm just glad this guy, if he's convicted, is going to be in prison until his 129th birthday, because That's 51 years from today. But Tommy, do you feel where I'm coming from? If you are actively, if you're in charge of this whole thing, you're the head of NIH and all these people. No, I'm with you 1,000%.

I just don't care about all of the headlines who are trying to say suppressing theories. I love the fact that destruction, rerouting, all of these things, they're catching all of the felony things of the actual acts. Yeah, but Tommy, when they're altering and he's lying about the origins, you know what that's making people do?

Oh, it came from a bat. That makes everybody look over here, Tommy. when we were saying, wait a minute, this came out of a lab that we paid that we started under Obama. So the fact that they were doing that, Tom, makes me think, oh, then you guys might be in on it. Tom, think about it. This virus leaked in a country that we were basically at war with. Trump was holding China accountable for trade. And when they couldn't fight us on the battlefield, you know what they do, Tom? Oh, this leaked. This came out of a lab and it destroyed the world. And when people go, you think China, you think, oh, Xi Jinping, yes, I do.

because I'm a Christian and I believe that evil. Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12. It's not flesh and blood. It's evil. And these are what these people do, Tommy. I'm as revved up as you are, but I can't prove what he knew or didn't know. But I love the fact that there's several counts here talking about what he destroyed and didn't destroy. And that email there.

So you look at what he was doing and I can't prove that he was dirty on that. I suspect it. I think it. There's allegations up the wazoo all the way to Wuhan. But guess what? That's the hard path to prove. But why are you destroying all this? Yes.

So you find him guilty of the destruction. Find him guilty of the obstruction. Find him guilty of redirecting. And then find him guilty of his own freaking smoking gun with his own thing. Then guess what? All of that? Why was he doing it? Well, the answer was he was covering up all this.

He was covering up all that. But guess what? This proves that. But this hopefully incarcerates this guy for a long time. Fauci to follow. And then you don't have to go through the longer path of what did he know and when did he know it, which is a really difficult legal test. Adam.

I believe that we need accountability for sure. And the number one entity or person or thing that needs accountability, it ain't Fauci, it's China. How quickly did we forget about that this started with the Wuhan lab, the Wuhan flu? Like, I get that we're dealing with tariffs. I get we're getting with asymmetrical warfare. We got a cold war going on with China. we have debates, tariffs, what's going on. Listen, I get that why people are mad with Fauci.

I get it. But I don't wake up every day thinking about Fauci. I do wake up every day thinking about America's well-being in the world and our global hegemony and who's coming after us China. And what has China done to be found accountable? You know, remember that whole situation when John Stewart went on Colbert and he's like, you mean to tell me that it was a penguin mixed with a penguin that? He's like, or it could have been the Wuhan lab.

caused the Wuhan flu. So the biggest thing that I think that happened with Fauci and everything with the vaccine is it made vaccines and science and health political. It shouldn't be that political. Like, I'll come out and say this. I think vaccines are good. Smallpox, polio, measles, mumps, rebella, whatever it is. It's the rush of the vaccine, Trump. It's the forced mandates of vaccine that people have a problem with. And what you have a problem with is the last. And it's the 100% effective, 92% effective, 90% effective. We don't even know. We'll go get a booster.

By the way, did anybody get their 78th booster this month? So it's convenient that we don't even talk about that anymore. I agree with you, but don't you think the criminal part there is huge. I don't know. I don't have a vendetta against Fauci. No fan of Fauci. But I think the emphasis needs to be on China. How much you want to bet this 85?

year old guy won't spend one day in jail. I don't think Tom is going to jail. I can't put China in jail. No, but you're talking about Fauci. You want to see accountability. I don't think he's going to go to jail. He's 85 years old. By the time they go to trial, he's 87, he's 90. He's going to die

by the time he has even sentenced to anything. But think about this guy. When you talk about the deep state, he's been around for how many presidents here? He started with HIV in like the 80s. And guess what? Have you read the real Dr. Fauci, the book? Adam, this guy is, to my opinion, to my opinion is actually evil. Then why did every administration, Republican and a Democrat, keep him around?

Adam, because they're all, what do you mean? He's, he's Dr. Fauci. He's the trustworthy guy. You don't know what he's doing behind closed doors. And by the day, this is a leaked audio pat talking about requiring every company to mandate vaccine. By the way, Adam, this is all business. I'm no fan of mandate.

Follow the money at all. Because you said vaccines are good. Adam, if I got it, I swear to you, I didn't. I didn't say the COVID vaccine. I'd be dead because of my heart. vaccines in general. Can you play this, Rob. This is Fauci and getting caught.

Listen to a good thing. Listen to what Fauci says here. In an interview that you gave as part of an audio book written by Michael Specter, that you believed an institutional should make it hard for people to live their lives so they'd feel pressured to get vaccinated. Can we read, run the audio clip on that, please? You think mandatory of vaccination. Here it comes. Look.

Look at that. Look at that. Okay. And, by the way, and Adam, you want to talk about rushed when you're the president? and a pandemic hits coming from China with that guy behind the helm and they're in your ear going, Mr. President, we got to rush it, rush it, because they're all in bed

with all these vaccine companies with Pfizer and everybody. Then it gets rushed out at them and everybody's dying. Everybody has cancer. Everybody has cancer. You got to pump the brakes on everybody's dying. You know what I mean? Adam, Adam, let's get real. Adam, Adam, hold on.

I'm being suspicious. I'm being literal. Hold on, ready for this? Okay, let me rephrase it. Millions of people, millions of kids that, Guess what? Parents, brainwashed parents? I would tell you, I would tell you, I'll tell you this from my standpoint. One of the things for me that was in my top 10 list is Foucher being held accountable.

It was in my top 10 list. Because that, Adam, when you have kids, you'll know what happens to them when I clearly remember. You know this picture here? You know this picture here? Of course. You're in Digo. It's our favorite picture ever. Jennifer took this picture.

We were not even looking at him, looking at her. This picture is a COVID picture. This is when they did what they did with schools, with kids, not having a place to go, came to the office, ended up being the best thing because he was with me at the office every single day for 90 days. I became their teacher on a daily basis. He had to make his 52 shots a day. They had to swim 25 laps a day. They had to read a book.

They had to watch a documentary every day for an hour and they had to write a paper on it. It was every day. I was their teacher for 90 days. It was an incredible experience. But we have the luxury to be able to do that. A lot of people didn't. This guy did that. Fauci did that.

And if they're writing emails like that, and I read the Anthony Fauci's book by Bobby Kennedy. The Real Dr. Fauci. Which, by the way, unlike James Comey's book, if you go to that one, which was published by, I want to say the Sky Horse Publishing. Sky Horse Publishing. If you go to it, look at the number of reviews.

Go to it. Look at the number of reviews. 27. Till today, it's still a number one bestseller in virology, and we're talking about how many years ago when he wrote this book, till today. And by the way, the cliff notes at the end, I don't know how many pages on what this guy did with the drug, I think it's called AZT that was tied to AIDS on how they abused it.

They kept it at a cost of $5,000 or $10,000 when they didn't need to. Yeah, that's like, this guy's been a part of so much shit the last 40 years. That's unbelievable. So guess what? If I'm telling you right now, if they do something by May 11th to Fauci, there is a massive community of libertarians. Forget Republicans. Massive community of libertarians and those who were impacted by the vaccine

that have been begging for this. They've literally been begging for this. There are millions of Americans that voted for Trump with the hopes of him getting to the bottom of this. So God willing, by 11th, if they do it, if they do it by May 11th, my ideal situation is by June 14th, a lot of things are scored away. Iran has scored away, you know, a couple of these announcements are being made, then they go into the World Cup. Then after the World Cup, everybody moves on, things get better. Then a new guy comes in. Powell, although he doesn't want to get out, they're going to find a way to lower rates.

Gas prices go a little bit lower, going into the midterms. They already picked up to 12 seats that they're doing a plus minus, which we're talking about the redistricting thing that came out. But Fauci is at the top of the list for a lot of people in America. I hope they pursue this. And I can't wait to see a – you know what I want to see, Vinny? Yes. And I wonder what kind of the jurisdiction they have, even with the pardoned. Because I think Fauci was pardoned.

He was pardoned. So that means I want to know how he's protected. What time – what level of protection does a pardon have for them going after this for Fauci? For Fauci, I believe. I'll tell you, all of us hate the answer, and the answer is complete. Unless, that's why the autopen headlines were out there so strongly, that if someone that was not the president went in and manipulated the pardon list and used the auto pen, Pat, so all you have to do is prove, did that come through the auto pen?

Yes, who did it? Well, this guy, Anthony Blinken did. I'm not saying he did. They're saying, allegedly, Anthony Blinken did. And if we prove that Blinken had no authority and that Biden had no intention or direction, intention or direction to pardon Fauci, then you can pull the pardon back. But you hear the steps in there? It's a long way, Pat.

It's a lot of steps. Right now, Anthony Fauci carries a pardon. But federal pardons, Tom, protects him from federal charges. States can still prosecute if there's a valid state-level case to bring. So there's still hope. And that's why when he reversed the auto-pen, Tom, Donald Trump came out and the administrative said they're all null and void. Remember that? And it kind of just went under the radar and we all moved on. This would be so amazing, Pat, because of the, because of all the lying, the six feet

social distancing, they lied about everything. The effectiveness of the vaccine to where it came for everything. No, Adam, and I know what you were saying is, oh, I said everybody, millions and millions of people are affected, were affected, are still going to be affected. Children, by the way, Pat, I was going to tell people this too. You go, God forbid, something happens to you have to get a blood transfusion. you think they're going to stop and give you the non-vaccinated blood. They're giving you whatever that. You understand the level of that? And I'm telling you right now, that's affecting people with myocard.

Oh, I'm not a legal expert, but I read an article once, and it really pissed me off, really pissed me off. Because it said, pick a state like Nebraska, goes all the way to the mat and they prosecute Fauci. Then they appeal it, appeal it, appeal it, where do you end up? You end up at the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court has asked a question, was this man already pardoned for this? and therefore does the state charge carry weight. And it's like, now you put it in the hands of the Supreme Court to say, did he or didn't he? And it's just a mess.

And meanwhile, he's not in jail. He's walking around. Remember, he had secret service protection for a while. You can't hit his reputation any harder than Bobby Kennedy. If what he's saying is accurate and then nobody can go after Fauci and he's basically been parted into who's next on that list. Because as much as we think Fauci had the power, there's other people that are making rules, regulations, mandates, and all that the vaccines. So I'm wondering what's downstream from here? Who would it be?

If he's pardoned, what do we talking about? David Marens, this is a senior advisor. He's just been indicted with 50 years. And Adam, they're going to keep going. They're going to keep searching. Was Marens on the pardon list? No, no, he was not on the pardon list. But Adam, yeah, this guy, he has to be held accountable, bro.

He has to be. Well, it sounds like they're trying to. I hope to God it happens. We'll see what it happened. Let me get to this next story. So Spencer, Pratt, who's running for mayor of L.A., dude, this guy just dropped a bomb of an ad. And then wait until you see this clip of Karen Bass, how she's being treated by people in L.A.

while she's in a car trying to talk. That clip excites me more than this one. But here's Spencer Pratt, dropping one of the greatest campaign ads of all time. Go ahead, Rob. This is where Mayor Bass lives. You notice something? Or here, where Nithia Rahman's $3 million mansion sits. They don't have to live in the mess they've created where you live.

This is where I live. They let my home burn down. I know what the consequences of failed leadership are. That's why I'm running for mayor. For my sons and the rest of us, Angelinos, that would have stopped these corrupt politicians from destroying our city. Go get them, buddy. We are going to get the golden age of Los Angeles back.

By the way, Jeannie Bus, Los Angeles Lakers, allegedly, if you want to pull this up, just gave him $10 million for his campaign. Wow. $10 million. Okay, if you go look up. That's going to fund that campaign, man. Are you kidding me?

$10 million. Do you have that story, Rob? Can you just verify what I'm saying? I thought I was a go a little bit lower to see if there's a $10 million story. I think you're right. Story was going viral about her giving $10 million. And then another thing with Spencer Pratt, Rob, if you can go back to where you were at, is if you can go back to where you were at on top of that on Cal She.

You just had a Calci thing with him for mayor, right? There is a calci on that. Yeah, if you look at the Sakhali for mayor of L.A. And watch what happened to him after he dropped this clip. Look what happens to him. Go to one week. Just go to one week. Is he blue rob?

Can he go to one week? He's blue. He's blue. Go instead of 30 days, go to one week. Is that it? Yep. He's blue. Boom.

He bumped up from April 24th. He was April 20. Go to April 24th. Where was he at April 24th? 15. And now he's at what? Go to today. Boom, 25%.

So Nithia Rahman is a, 52.6. Karen Bass drops from being at 30 to being below 15 now. She's dead. Even the Democrat. Physically, she's alive. She's alive. I know a lot of people are worried about her age.

Her chances are on life support is what I'm sorry. Her campaign is, as they say, her campaign is in deep trouble. Yeah. Even the Democrats aren't supporting her because she's so, she is so. Too much potatoes. But here's Karen Bass. Here's Karen Bass out there asking for support. in this beautiful car and look how folks from LA are talking to Kiramass.

Go ahead, Rob. Express our support for Chinatown. Yes, we support China. We don't support Karen Bass. Thank you. She's cut services. Good. Oh, my God.

Oh, that one guy there, I think he was saying she's number one. Spencer running as a Democrat. I don't think Spencer's running. And when it comes on to mayoral races, I don't know if they do Republican or Democrat. They may, if you want to pull it up, if he's running out a Democrat as a Republican. I'm speculating. He's probably going to be a conservative himself. Pull it up.

Big cities do. I was actually just talking to. Good. Yeah, Republican. Yeah. Big cities do obviously. And let me do this. And I'll come to you, Rob.

There's another clip where she was caught in shocking recording just days before the Palisades fight. fire. If you want to play this clip, watch this clip here. Go ahead, Rob. The situation is very dangerous, and I would never do. I will take the criticism before I do a publicity stunt. And frankly, a press conference at this point in time, which is the publicity. I think, I don't, I don't, the neighbors, the property owners, yeah, and the residents. I mean, 41,000 people live within a square mile here. Yeah. Two families share one bedroom apartment. But they want to hear that something is going to be done.

They want to know it's recognized. But they want to know it's recognized. Exactly. But if I have a choice between that and compromising something, I just have to go along with it. It's not my area of expertise. I want to make sure that you are safe. It's coming past.

And hopefully you can read in between the lines. But I will just appreciate. just and it's hard for me to tell you this it's hard but um hold tight you know you will understand soon joe that that's that you know what that is that's somebody saying that they know something but they don't want to say it out loud you know by way what was it Vinnie you lived in l.A what was it what are the hot winds called i don't know i don't know the name of us the Santa Ana's yes the weather report will say here come the Santa Ana buddy like and those i did you even live in L.A Santa Ana's not they're called They're going to manufacture the frown at this point.

Anybody can Google it. It's called the Santa Ana's. She had received a briefing that said the Santa Ana winds are going to kick up and they could be as high as a hundred miles an hour at the bottom of canyons where all the winds come together. They warned her and she got on a plane and went to

wherever Ghana. And you can hear that. She's saying, read between the lines, be safe. It's because the fires hadn't started, but people told her, hey man, we have fire season here and this is really kind of crazy. There it is. The Santa Ana wins. Referred to as the devil wins.

They come in with a high-pressed out there. They come in with a high-pressure mass, and guess what? All you need is a little spark. I get so nervous with Tom's trivia. Tom would be like, and George Washington went to this place and he was wearing what-size-shoe Vinny? And I'm like, I don't know. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on. Now, here's a math question for you.

But the sake of clarity, I did not see George Washington when he did that. I was in the restroom. Okay, got to. But by the way, she's talking on the phone with John Al. A-L-E. He's a property manager who works for Palisade, Pacific Palisades Westlake Pat and MacArthur Park and obviously he recorded it

on purpose but while this is all building, she's not even, she left the country and then remember at the airport, Pat, she's at the gate and somebody's like, people said that you knew beforehand and you were just, you still went and she's just looking at the ground for five minutes because she can't talk. It's ridiculous. And then you have Gavin Newsom coming out

standing in the middle of burning rub where people, houses are destroyed, people are dead and he's like, talking to a lady, I got I got a call, lady. I got a call. I got a call. But the other one was like, yeah, I've been talking to Josh Green and talking about some land grabbing. And he's excited about people coming to grab land from all these people. Spencer Pratt is creating momentum.

He's making noise. A lot of folks in L.A. are paying attention to him. And God willing, he gets more and more momentum as he's going in this race. Adam, your thoughts on the story. Yeah. What I got to give credit to Spencer Pratt for reinventing himself. We talk about reinventing yourself all the time. I remember when someone I think pitched like,

hey, do you want to have Spencer Pratt on the podcast? I was like, the reality guy from the 2000s? They're like, oh, you haven't seen what he's up to these days? Dude, he's running for mayor. I'm like, as a joke, they're like, no, he's for real. And we've been looking into it, and he is for real. You know who the joke is, is Karen Bass Lady. So kudos to you.

I'm not sure, you know, I don't, you know, my whole thoughts on California, Los Angeles. I think that's a fallen city just like New York. Miami's the future. Texas is the future. L.A. looks cooked. Literally half the city burnt down, allegedly. But I got to give him major credit for reinventing himself. And I got to tell you, kind of rooting for the guy.

That ad was badass. Good for him. And he has three things going for him. He has the personality. He knows what he is. He knows how to work a camera, right? He has policies, it seems, because all you have to do is just be anti-Marxist,

anti-Woke, anti-LGBQ, ABDBC, and just be normal. And he has the biggest decider. You know what he has? Purpose. His house burnt down, and he's living in a van down by the river. Down by the Palisade.

There it is. And we all know those San Ana Winsbyn. You know about that. I can't help but rooting for the guy. So good luck to him. But I hope people, like, I hope Californians are starting to see, like, Angelinos.

Angelinos, don't keep falling for the Democrat, whatever. This guy actually was affected. When's the last time you think there was a Republican mayor in L.A.? What year? I don't remember. Richard Rodden? 1849, the 49 or gold.

No, I'm just kidding. 2000. It's been 26 years. But here's my, here's my thing, though. Republican mayor in L.A. Adam, here's your chance.

Here's your chance. And I know with governor, it's probably not going to happen, but like you keep voting for trash. You're going to get trash. Time to recycle that. Yeah. What are they, like,

this is your opportunity to freaking, like, Start bucking the system a little bit. Get somebody in there that actually gives a damn. Like, they actually give a damn about what the hell is going on. Is he still married to the Heidi girl? By the way, there was a story going viral that Jeannie Bus gave $10 million. I'm trying to find this $10 million. I saw it.

It wasn't our text community as well. I don't think it's $10 million. I think she gave max the max you can. She donated $1,800. $1,800, which is a max. $1,100, $10 million. But where did that $10 million thing come from? It's probably because she sold the business for $10,000.

because the Lakers sold for $10 billion. So I don't know how. So she did not give him that money. No, it was on a community tax. So to correct it, it's $1,800, $100,000, $1,000. Thank you for correcting. Gave to it. Let's continue.

But watch this with L.A. This leads two stories I want to do with California, L.A. Because we love that place so much. Here's one of them. Leaving California makes homeownership 48% more likely. What? So you live in California. You don't own a home.

If you leave California, you increase the likelihood of you being a homeowner by 48%? Yes. Rob, go ahead. Morning a new study finds that Californians who leave the state are 48% more likely to own a home within seven years compared to those who stay. This is according to research from the UC Policy Lab. You know what the UC Policy Lab is? UC Berkeley. Very liberal. Yeah. They want to be able to buy a home. They want to be able to raise their kids in something more than an apartment. The study says lawmakers should focus on affordability and restoring California's appeal to current residents and potential newcomers.

Yeah, renters relocating out of California saw rent lower by 30%, which is $631 a month in their new neighborhood. How homeowners also find more affordable pricing for the median home, which costs $396,000 or 48% less than median where they lived in L.A. the dynamic helps homeownership more common in their new neighborhood with 60% owning their homes versus 53 in the California neighborhoods they departed. So Tom, how do you react to this story? Why is this such a big deal? I think it's a big deal because, you know, Adam's been out to California. He's got friends in California, so he's got some visibility there, but we've all lived there. All the rest of us have lived there. And what is going on here is it's insane. Even UC Berkeley runs a study. And what was funny about the study, there was a comment that was in the study.

There was a comment that was in the study is making California more appealing to current residents, I think was the statement that was there. So wait a minute. Those of you think about leaving, please don't leave. Let's make it more appealing for you to stay. Don't bail. Don't bail. And what we're seeing here is the truth of bad policy. Bad policy that's destroyed the economy.

Bad policy that's led to ridiculous homeowners insurance costs. Bad policies that have left to shortages of insurance carriers so that you can't even get insurance coverage. You have to get like this crippled coverage, you know, called the fair plan. And the bad policies that have led to, you know, companies leaving. Then voters running amok being driven by unions and Gavin Newsom, who's now running from responsibility because he allegedly was right there with SEIU unions on this, the billionaire tax, even though now he's trying to move back on it because it looks bad, muddy, and there's going to get muddy on his white shirt.

while he's on camera trying to run for president. That's not going to work. And so what I see, Pat, this is just the outcome. You put all of the bad decisions and the lack of leadership into a bowl. You mix it. You put it in the oven. And this is the cake it bakes. People that are leaving and how bad is it?

You're actually more likely to be able to get a home for your family, a permanent residence, 48% more likely after you leave. That's how bad it is. Yeah, well, one thing we know about real estate, location, location, location, and everybody wants to live in the greatest cities in the world, New York, L.A., except those are no longer the greatest cities anymore. That's why people are coming to Miami.

I think when it comes to housing, you're supposed to spend up to 30% of your gross income on housing, on rent, on your mortgage. I want to say Angelinos, California, specifically are spending upwards of 100% of their total take-home pay on rent, meaning like they're working just to pay rent. How they're eating. That's why the homeless problem is so pervasive in L.A.

So location, location, location, a lot of people are looking at how much it costs to pay rent in L.A. and they're going, yeah, instead of living in L.A., I'm going to go to a different loss and I'm going to go to Las Vegas. And that's why so many people are moving to Nevada. Pat, there was a second story you want to talk about with Nevada, I believe, right? Which one is that? This was the Californians are fleeing to Nevada for affordability. There's that word again.

Yeah. Forget Texas, forget Florida. The real winner of California's greatest exodus is the state right next door. California are quietly moving to Nevada, the top destination, fed up with sky high costs, pulling in more former residents per capita than any other state over the past decade. Okay. For every 10,000 Nevada residents, roughly 81 more Californians are. arrived and departed each year from 2016 to 2025.

The math is especially brutal for Sacramento and clarifying for everyone else. Yeah, I mean, look, look, a lot of friends that I have are moving from California to Nevada. It's right there down the street, three and a half hour drive. You don't have to, like, you can still come and visit your family. Some who make the full move, they'll go to Texas, and then a few who make the full move, they'll move to, what do you call it, Florida. But the folks who are living in San Francisco, is this? San Francisco, Rob? Yes, sir. By the way, before you watch it, I just want to give you a warning.

It's uncomfortable watching this. But we have this in many cities in America. I'm not just highlighting this, but this is what San Francisco looks like right now. Go ahead, Rob. And by the way, they're not playing a game like stop. No. Is it free? Trenk. Are they on that trank? They're on drugs. Yeah, of course. So imagine your kids are walking down and you're just kind of going through and this is what you're seeing. Yeah, it's horrible. Like, what kind of drug makes you like, like his pants? That guy's pants are off. It's more than just... You're zombies.

You're a zombie. Yeah, you can pause it right now. It's disturbing to watch. California. And FYI, while this is going on, you know what the LAPD chief just said? The LAPD, what's about to come up, the World Cup? The LAPD chief just dropped this following message.

You think people want to hear this? Terrifying truth bomb about L.A. Olympic security. Let's hear you. Oh, man. Now, OLA Olympic security or World Cup. I mean, if people... Is there going to be a game in L.A.? By the way, I'm curious if there's going to be any World Cup games.

Go ahead and play. the video, Rob, go for it. Requested funding to purchase vehicles, technology, and specialized equipment to be able to do the Olympics. In addition, the $1 billion budget is for all agencies involved in the Olympics, not just the LAPD and will be restricted primarily to police officer overtime. LA28 confirmed that they have zero police or public safety budget, and while they do have a security budget, it doesn't cover law enforcement.

Okay. So the chief is getting up there before the World Cup, which, by the way, eight matches of the 2026 World Cup in the next few weeks. We're only a few weeks away. We'll be held at SoFi Stadium. Okay. So imagine if you're like going through it out of 104 total matches that are going to be happening in North America, of the 104, 8% are in L.A., in L.A. only.

and you're telling me this before World Cup, you don't think you're ready? Are you ready for World Cup? What's a bigger event? World Cup or Olympic? World Cup. I would say World Cup. I would say World Cup.

But the Olympics is harder to patrol. Because it's a lot of different events instead of just one game that's coming in it. That makes sense to me. It's one stadium and then certain hotels is World Cup. But Tom, if you think about the World Cup, if people are going to games and you want to take your wife and kids and you go to L.A., what things are you thinking of?

Oh, my God. Are we safe? or we not? The LA chief is telling you we're not ready for Olympics. You think they're ready for the World Cup? If this guy is saying we're not ready for the Olympics and that's in two years, you think they're ready for the World Cup? That's in six weeks. That's right. And Ahmed al-Kabomom who's sitting there living in Santa Monica

because he snuck across the border two years ago in Mexico. That's the problem. It sounds like a Christian guy. Can't wait to walk into a group of people going into a stadium wearing a special vest. Yeah. Well, California's going to have a chance to show what it's got. And it's either going to go great or it's going to be al-Ahmed Kabam. I'm hoping everything's okay.

I mean, I know he was joking. But the seriousness of how many people are here that they've said that, bro, there's active sleeper cell, al-Qaeda. That's my point. They're old. I was being incredibly sarcastic and off the cup. But it is. Could there be one or two sleeper-cell people that have walked in right across the border? Sure, they could.

And could they be just, they can't wait for crowds of people approaching the stadium beyond the security. perimeter to go in and wreak havoc. That's what they do. Look around the world. That's what they do. Tom, we just saw a video from the White House correspondence of a guy run in and run past. If he had a bomb on his body, that whole group is dead. And think about the magnitude of the World Cup. I don't think like the fact that he's saying that Pat, that's a, that's freaking scary

that he's like, we can't, we can't. Like that's, you don't want to hear a security guy. You say that before the World Cup. I don't want to. In two years. We're not ready for an event that's happening two years from now. But we're ready for an event that's happened six weeks from now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

We're going to be ready for that. Yeah, I believe it. We'll see. I mean, we're planning on going to a couple of games, but we'll see which ones we're going to be going to. Let's go to the next story. Next story I want to get to is I got a couple stories I want to get into. I don't know which one's more important.

Let's go into this one and then we'll wrap up with the other couple of stories. Erica Kirk will go into that story as well before we wrap up. But I want to get into this one because this, well, listen, everybody's focused on war. everybody's focused on oil prices, everybody's focused on economy security, and no one's paying attention to maybe one of the biggest stories in the last 24 hours is a bombshell sexual harassment suit against Lorna Hajdini, J.P. Morgan branded complete fabrication as J.P. Morgan en masse. So this story yesterday goes viral, okay?

And Rob, I want to read the tweets that this fellow claimed that she sent them or the messages that she sent him. You know, she, he claims he was a sexual slave. Did you guys see that story where he bombshell sexual harassment suit against? Okay, do you have the words of what he says? Because there's three different things that he claims she would tell him. This is the one. Glamorous J.P. Morgan Chase executive accused of turning married,

male broker into her sex slave, claims of Viagra spiking and litany of obscene force acts that made him cry. This is like Jennifer Anderson from horrible boss. Except in real life, right? So go a little bit lower. Go a little bit lower. Go a little bit. Oh, Rob, come on.

You don't subscribe to the day of the hell. That's the one to read. The one to read is that one because the other one is a, I actually want to prefer. I want to read that one first, Rob. I know you have it. Okay. So she says her claims are,

oh, you did play basketball in college. I love basketball player. They get me so wet. He says that she said that, right? These are his claim, Rob? Is this serious? Is this a joke? You're not, you're not like pulling a prank on me because it's May 1st.

It's like maybe a Mexican holiday. We have a picture of this, Lorna? So let me go through this. Let me read some of this stuff. He's on page 27. I'm with you there, right? This never happens to me. Give me another one.

If you don't, F me soon, I'm going to ruin you. Never forget. I'm effing owning you. By the way, I'm telling you, this is from horrible bosses. This is horrible bosses. One million percent. Okay. Twice, Doe claims that Hijani

propositioned him for oral sex in the office on one occasion asking for birthday BJA on for the brown boy, my little brown boy. What? My little brown boy. You're going to need to earn it. Is he brown?

Look at this one here. Go where is it? You're going to need to earn it, you my little Arab boy toy. Who says stuff like this? I mean, at this point I agree with Tom. I thought there was an Asian situation. Well, there's an Asian one as well.

There's so many things here. I bet you're... Do you want a future at J.P. Morgan? It's that simple. I don't know why you're fighting this. He says she said this to him. Do you want to get promoted at the end of the year or not? Herjani warned him, according to the lawsuit.

Her Johnny then allegedly removed her shirt began following her breasts with racially insults. Doe's wife remarking, I bet your little Asian fish head wife doesn't have these pants. At this point, Rob, am I reading that? I've never heard anybody called a fish head before. And then he continues. Like that. Johnny allegedly admonished him for crying and scolded and for failing to achieve an erection. Stop effing crime.

You think anyone would ever believe you. You're an effing douchebag. By the way, that's a need's improvement. So here's the thing. This is terrible calibration when you're going through stuff like this. You know what I would tell you is, you know what I would tell you is, does not meet expectations, Rob. That's it. This is her?

So this is her. She became the most famous person on, and that's him. Poor guy. Oh, yeah. He's married to something like that? This is all alleged. This is all stuff in the lawsuit that he put. By the way, you can read this further for yourself if you want to entertain yourself.

On June 9, 2025, Doe says he received a voicemail from someone claiming to be a manager at JPMC, telling him he wasn't welcome because of his skin color, adding that people don't want your kind here. I mean, this is just a bunch of gibberish, right? Then New York Post drops a story saying this whole story was fake. He faked the whole story. Rob, if you want to go to it. Is this the one? You go a little bit lower, Rob, with this story.

You know, J.P. Morgan Staffer, whom sources identified as Shiraeurana, has been accused of making fabricated sexual harassment claims against a high-ranking executive at the bank. After an internal investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing, multiple sources told, the post-35-year-old Rana, now a principal and investment firm, Briegel Sagamount, is the man who brought the bombshell lawsuit against Lorna Hageini earlier this week. Rana's suit filed on Monday under the pseudo-name John Doe, accused a 37-year-old executive director of turning him into a sex slave by drugging him with... What is that? Roy Pimol and Viagra.

Oh, Rufi, that's the proper... That's the medical... I don't know why they call it Rufis. They should call it Flores. His bonus, if he does not come... Okay, Tom, what do you think about the story here? I know you're following closely. What do you think about the story?

Come here, my little white Arab boy toy. What do you got? This is horrible. And now it looks like now that this has now been all discredited, that the guy actually, you know, you know what this is about? So I looked under AI for something. I'll share something in a minute. But first of all, this is a disgruntled, apparently disgruntled worker that's trying to get money

out of a corporation. I think it looks to me like that's what's happened here. And so he's filed this lawsuit with these outrageous claims and the whole thing backfires because it goes public. People came out and say, that woman is not like that. Her co-workers, J.P. Morgan says, we conducted an investigation and we couldn't get this guy. I think that's what it said, Pat, that he refused to cooperate with the investigation by legal inside J.P. Morgan. And so, So he puts us out here. And so this morning, it looks like that all of the data in the court case was made public because it ended up being a public filing and the media was free to report on it.

And so now this guy looks terrible. And if he does, as the articles are alleging, this is disgusting. Tried to destroy this woman's career and just try to get money out of it or make a lawsuit and get through it. Oh, you're defending him? No, I'm not defending him. I'm saying it's disgusting what he did. If the reports this morning, Adam, are that. Oh, you're defending her?

Yeah. Well, if he's lying. I'm not defending anybody right now. I'm looking at it and saying it's disgusting if what he did, the allegations. Take a position. Take a position, Tom. Which one?

Backwards. Well, I'll tell you this. And I also looked on. A little wine boy, Tom. What did she call her? What did she call him? Canons. I looked up on AI.

What is that? And I said, do women usually refer to them as canons? They said, no. It's, you will hear words like airbags, twin peaks, hooters, jugs, rack, melons, knockers, and tautas. But you don't hear cannons. Yes. Well, we're at war with Iran, Tom.

Thank God we have AI, right? But I think it's disgusting. If he, look at what he's done to her, if it turns out that she had nothing to do with this. She's going to sue the hell out of him. Oh, my gosh. Can you imagine what her DMs look like right now? Are you hiring? He's DM there.

By the way, did you see X yesterday? There wasn't even comments about her. On X yesterday, you saw like 20 guys in suits running across the street, New York, and it says J.P. Morgan's hiring. It was like, oh, brother. How was Jamie Diamond using this? There was a meme with Jamie Diamond. Somebody's, he's making this horrible face, and there's a guy in his ear,

said, sir, this is what just happened. There's a picture of Jamie Diamond. There he is. Like completely pissed. Sir, job applications at JPMorgan. J.P. Morgan changed her on 686,000%. And he's like, wow. So this woman is sexually harassing her underling, her colleague.

Allegedly. She allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Okay. So she's allegedly sexually harassing. She's allegedly racist, allegedly abusive, sexual advances.

It's disgusting. But do we have her phone number by any chance? I want to do a little follow up here. The case is in flux. Filing was pulled, but Rana's lawyer has said they plan to refile properly and stand by the claims, looking forward to discovery. And that's what the latest is. By the way, that's all he can say. That's all his lawyer can say.

He's got to say face, even if he's not going to do it. And by the way, look at this on Twitter and say, you know what Disney character he looks like? Say it, Tom. There's one of them. I know. Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to say it. It's a guy from Toy Story.

Oh, Woody? Woody. Woody? he's like a Woody and Aladdin have a baby And what a good play on words Ladies and gentlemen Pat, what do you think is going on here? It's Woody!

You can't make this up! I mean, listen, there is There's a lot of people The part that's confusing about this is you know if you do something like that what happens for the rest of your career? She's not. No, no, forget her.

Her image. She is like, to me, honestly, if I'm her, I'm like, dude, it sucks, but guess what? There's nothing that happened that made her look bad. Nothing. No, no, no, no. I understand that. She just got, look, it helps. It helps that she's attractive.

Oh, 100% percent percent. It helps that she's attractive. It helps that she's a, you know, people know she's a winner. In New York, she's winning. She's doing her stuff. But that guy, if you did something like that and it was all fake, go ahead and apply. for another company to get a job. Go ahead.

It's over. Apply for another company to get a job. Who's going to trust you? You want people to give you money? You want people to trust you behind closed doors? You're done when you make claims like this. You won't get clients like us that are going to do business with you. And now, if it is, again, we don't know the whole story. Maybe he was drunk and he was watching horrible bosses.

And this was a fantasy. He wanted her to talk to him like that. I don't know. It's a crazy story. It's a very good story for media, though. Oh, for sure. So we have to cover it. You should never drunk die.

And especially never drunk soup. Are you saying that there's a chance that he's just making this all up in order to do what? I'm 80%. To get a lawsuit? Oh, really? He wants to get back at the... Are you kidding me? Like, there's so many companies that are walking on eggshells frightened.

They'll just cut a check to make a story go away. Ooh. They'll cut a story, they'll cut a check to make a story go away all the time. And that may have been what he would have the text message. And by way, you know, it's interesting, right? I saw a news report this morning, reputable source, that went through the bio, allegedly, they're saying that this is, the properly researched bio of his background.

Pat, he's had like eight jobs in 12 years. So he's a guy that stays someplace apparently one or two. And we go through interviewing like this. We have software we built to help companies go through and filter. So apparently, if that story is correct, Pat, he's like this serial job hopper. He's a journeyman. He's a journeyman. The NBA journeyman.

I feel horrible for his Asian fish headwife. I'll take a two-year deal on the league's mid-cap exemption. By the way, if this becomes a lie, imagine what his wife feels like. Why would you say that? Why would you put that fake line in there about me? Can you know? Like, he's like, you could have said anything goes, why are you taking shots to me? You put fish face in your loss.

You really think that about me, babe. That's our private sweetie word. By the way, Dom, that is the worst, honey. She really did this. Show me the text. She said that, and I was so upset because I don't love her, you know. it's a very it's just a very i don't know look it is what it is i think the best part of the story is the fact that you know you're talking about toy story you know the relevance there and

horrible bosses we'll see what it happened let me get careful out there at work ladies and let me get to next story let me get to next story let me get to next story next story i want to get into is um uh so we have that one with plano let me see what i haven't covered rob what story have i not gone into before we wrap up boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom Oh, let's do this one, Tom. Oil prices, okay? AAA national average of gas prices soars as Iran's war remains unsettled. Oil briefly hit $126.

And that number haven't had – we haven't hit a number like that in four years. When you hit a 126, you're going to be around $5 a gallon if it stays like that for too long. Slightly higher than that, you need to get to $5. But go ahead, Rob. Play this clip. The pain at the pump hitting harder. Americans now paying the highest price for gas in four years. having to choose between gas and food and that's a very hard decision.

The national average is now $4.35 a gallon for regular of 31 cents from last week and up $1.18 from a year ago, according to Gas Buddy. Having to like just go around and see what's the best and what's cheapest is just another thing that we have to deal with. Price is jumping the last few days as oil prices surged. The Strait of Hormuz closed and the White House in active conversations with lawmakers about congressional authorization. for the war. We'll continue to see oil go up and up and up until somebody blinks, whether it's the U.S. or Iran. I mean, the straight of Hormuz continues.

You can pause right there. You know, an expert comes out and talks about how $200 oil and two other scenarios could tip the world into recession, says this global bank, $200 recession, according to the latest quarterly outlook from banking giant BMP Paribas. The broader view expressed by the bank on Wednesday is that the world economy has been dented, but not derailed by the war in Iran, though it does see lower GDP growth rates, higher inflation, more hawkish central banks

than it did the beginning of the year. The prospect of oil reaching $200 doesn't seem far-fetched, given the front month Brent Oil contract was trading at around $114 a barrel on Wednesday, up 88% this year. But even in this case, where oil prices doesn't reach that high, the French bank expects a first half average of $100. The global economy is dangerously close

to how BMP defines a reset. BMP is forecasting 3% GDP growth defines a recession at anything that's less than 2.5% worldwide. The decade average is 3.5% time. How likely is it that oil goes to $200? I don't think that's likely, and that's a headline they like to use. But what is not good is oil is still way too high. Like right now, WTI, which stands for West Texas Intermediate, if you look for oil quotes on American exchanges, that's what you'll find. It's down almost $4 today to 101.

So it's almost $4 down. It's still $101.50, I think it is right now. And Brent, that's the other side of the world in Europe. Brent Crude, that is 114, 116 right now. So this is still way too high. And people hear, oh, my gosh, you know, look at the stock market doing well. You've got to ignore the stock market. We're in earning seasons.

AI is doing well. A lot of things are happening. So the Dow's at 7250, excuse me, Dow's at 49, 700, S&P 500 at 7250, very, very, very high. Brent's at 109 right now, by the way. This is just, this is bad. It's not whether oil gets to 120, Pat. We need oil to get down to 67 bucks, which was the 62 to 70 range it was in before the war started. We needed to get back down and get supplies in.

and then, you know, now we have a chance to get gasoline down, and it's got to happen quick. I don't see it going to 120. I see that as a headline people are banging around. But right now, we need 30 bucks to come off of it in the U.S. to take WTI just back down to 71. Adam. Listen, I understand why people are a little upset that they're paying a little bit more at the pump. But I would guarantee you this. people would be a lot more upset

if a nuclear weapon went off in America because what Trump is doing is saying the whole short-term pain for the long-term gain. I get it. You're paying a dollar extra at the pump. I get it.

But where was this outrage, this selective outrage, when in 2022 you were paying $5 at the pump because Biden basically shut down the Keystone pipeline and wasn't drill baby drill. Where was the outrage? rage there, everybody. So yes, I want people to save that money and not to have to pay more

at the pump. But if your life is to the point where you literally can't eat because you're paying a couple extra bucks a week, you got bigger issues that you got to solve in your financial life and your overall life. And I'm not dismissing that and downpling that I feel for people that are living paycheck to paycheck. But, you know, what goes up, Musk comes down and what goes down, Musk is going to go up. The prices are going to go down. It's going to take some time. You know, Pat, you've quoted potentially by June, potentially, when the World Cup and everything comes here. At the end of day, this. Trump is doing what nobody else had the balls or the courage to do. Nine U.S. presidents have all criticized and condemned Iran. Trump was the first one

who said, you know what? Make my day, homie, Harry, dirty Harry. So I predicted this thing's going to go down by summer. We understand that summer people are driving. The economy is. moving. I'll ask you one question. I'll leave it like this. Who's in a worse position now? United States, that some people are paying a dollar more at the pump, or Iran where their entire economy is crumbling, people are fighting for survival, their Ayatollah is dead, their leadership is dead, their economy, their unemployment, their misery index, their inflation, all plummeting, and yet there's a large faction on the far left and the far right who claim that America's losing because they're paying a dollar at the pump, I'm not buying it. That's a macro analysis.

But you have to remember, gasoline's up $2, Adam. And I appreciate the macro analysis. But in the pocketbook of the average American worker is gas, it's $2 more. Heating oil was up in... Why do you say $2 more? It was $3 a couple months ago. No, no, no. It's $4. It's $4.00. It's $2 above the national average before the war started, right? It's $2 up on that. But where was it before the war started? Three bucks, right? No, no, no, no. The national average was down like $2.89 because you have to remember the taxes in various states. Yeah. And so that and then electricity costs us up.

So let me ask you this. Are you saying that you don't agree with Trump doing this? No, no, hang on. I'm just saying we can't lose in the macro analysis is to have a heart for the citizens are out there, that we want to see this stuff cleaned up by the mid-June. So they have a chance to get electricity. You really have a way of winning people over. It's like such a thing that you do that's, you know.

Maybe it's pretty black and white. No, it's not. But so are you saying that you don't control what Trump did here? Both things are happening. Okay. One, families who had dollaring gas prices increasing impacts their discretionary income are going through a painful time right now. They're feeling it.

Sure. Two, I also understand why this has taken place, and I'm hoping it ends quickly. Okay. I'm hoping it ends quickly. I would support it if it's a quick thing to happen and not something that takes a long time and I'm optimistic that everything. Trust me yesterday, if you were in the room,

I wish that conversation would have been recorded. What I'm more interested in is, Vinny, yesterday you were on a major Zoom with a bunch of global oil strategists and energy economists and petroleum market analysts with the leaders of OPEC that you were talking to, I don't want to disclose their names. What is your analysis? What do you think it's going to happen?

I think that the injection of, you know, Injection fracture. Are we back to J.P. Morgan? Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Like with the, you know, the end of the yang. I totally got it. Like with all the, you know, infrastructure and all the constituents that are going to be affected by this global, you know, influx of crude and natural gas.

I think heating oil and gold, I'm just reading whatever. I haven't heard anybody give a better analysis than any. Maybe the greatest analysis. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye. So we all know what happened at the White House Correspondence dinner.

There was a clip of Erica Kirk running out saying, I just want to go home. And that created a lot of people talking about it. And then Erica Kirk in the last few weeks, Drewski did that one thing with her. You got a lot of comments that are being made about her. And then she reacted to it. Rob, I can't do four minutes and 12 seconds.

It's right off the beginning. Oh, okay. So, and she came up, and she said a few words of why she went to the White House correspondence dinner, and the market reacted. So go ahead, Rob, played a clip. We may have big problems with illegal immigration in this country. I have to tell you we have an even bigger problem when it comes to the systemic indoctrination and radicalization of our own citizens.

This is what got my husband killed. This is what has led to three legitimate attempts on President Trump's life. And I can speak firsthand to that unbearable toll that this must take on our first lady. There has never been a president who has faced this many assassination attempts in Americans' entire history. And after each one, the reaction from the far left has been, at best, a shrug, and in some cases, a sick disappointment that the shooter was unsuccessful. We are all human beings. And if you can just, if you can just pause.

I don't think, Rob, this is the one that went viral. It was a short 20-second clip of what she said. This one right here. Go ahead. Play this clip. Go ahead, Rob. Every morning I wake up to a new headline lying about me. I have comedians dressing up in white face.

I have people saying I'm not fit to be CEO. And I have Candice Owens claiming I murdered my husband. And the list goes on and on and on. Okay, Vinny, your thoughts? Before I even say anything, because I know where people are going to go, I have, by the way, I prayed for this woman. I actually want her to succeed. I want nothing but the best for her and Charlie's children, number one, but she needs to step away as soon as possible. Okay, it's gone on step away as in like away from a CEO, Pat, get out of there.

You said this a while ago, but be the chair, be there. But this is, like, if you're trying to replace Charlie Kirk, God rest his soul, it's impossible. You cannot do it, all right? This is, he's, he was the CEO of a huge, huge international organization of political organization, Pat. He's irreplace, you're not going to do it. And I'm sorry. And I, and people are going to be butt hurt. how dare you grieving widow enough with that nonsense i'm not talking about none of that i feel for her okay

because she thought that she could replace charlie kirk you can't angel kovin whoever that guy is they're sitting there doing the charlie kirk podcast without charlie kirk nonsense rob go to their channel go to the views of that podcast don't even go back and show charlie's because it's in the millions nobody's watching it nobody's watching it so the the assa whoever was behind it and all the people that were behind Charlie Kirk, it's working because TPSAPAT, they're feeling it, okay? And I'm sorry, you show up to the White House Correspondents Dinner, okay? You're taking photos with people. People are going to talk about you.

You're taking a, you went to the VIP thing with whatever his name is. You're taking photos. And then there's a shooting in a place where you know, you know that the biggest targets are there. The president has already been, the assassination attempt has already been happened twice. All the major players are there. You're there. There's a shooting and you're crying saying, I want to go home. You should be home. You haven't been home. You have two children at home. You're about to go on a tour and everything.

I'm sorry, Pat. That's a man's job to be the CEO of Turning Point USA, Adam. I don't care what anybody says. That's a man's job. I'm not bashing anything about women. But this is a political, huge organization, all right, with the biggest movement for Republicans. and he helped the president become the president. And I'm sorry, if you can't take the heat, that's what CEOs do. I'm sorry. You went there to confront your critics. Your critics aren't there, Erica.

They're not there. Fox is there. CNN is there. Those are cool people there. They're not bashing you. You think Candace and all these people are going to show up there? And I'm sorry. And again, I pray for her.

You know I do. I genuinely loved Charlie. And I pray for her family. You don't have it. This isn't it. This isn't your bag. Step back. Let somebody else take it.

Let somebody else take it. And I say this with pain in my heart. The people behind assassinating Charlie, this is what they wanted, Pat. The movement's weakened. Nobody's watching. You know what I mean? You're replacing it because you want to be in front of the camera. You want to take it and then complain about it.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is what comes when you want to be the CEO of Turning Point USA. Because everybody's coming after you. And when you're in front of the camera, they're all. going to talk. We all know that. I guarantee the comments are half of them are talking crap and half of them are saying Vinnie is right. And that's what comes with the territory because I'm sitting in front of a camera in front of a mic pat. She needs to just be the chair.

Sit back. When you go on stage pat, fireworks. Erica Kurt, CEO, chair. This isn't, this isn't the WWE. This is, you have children. Go take care of them. Go be with them. Let somebody take the, take the rain. That's how I feel. I'll just read the Bible quote. You shall not afflict any widow or orphan child. If you afflict them in any way, and they cry to me, I will surely hear their cry. And my anger shall burn hot. And I will kill you with the sword.

And your wives shall be widows and your children orphans. That's from Exodus in the Bible. Whether you believe in God or not, the Bible is very explicit on how to treat a widow. I'm talking about a widow right now. I'll talk about the CEO in a second. I think what people have done to Erica Kirk is just shameful and disgusting how they're treating this person as a widow. I'll get to the CEO portion in a second. People have to take a long look in the mirror.

I'm talking to the people that were dancing on Charlie's grave. I'm talking about the people that are accusing Erica Kirk of killing her husband, as if this benefits her at all, as if she wants to be a widow. I don't want to go too far down that path. To me, it's just disgusting. Conversely, if she's in the limelight and she's in the CEO and you're claiming that a woman can't be a CEO or whatever. I didn't say that. A lot of people are.

Not for turning point USA. Okay. Well, then you are. Sorry. Then you are. I'm not, you just blanketed me saying women can't be CEO. When that I said she can't be the CEO of a political organization. Why not?

The CEO was murder. Because that's what comes with it. Okay. This is the territory that you're in. You might get shot. Okay. You think she can handle that with her two kids? Are you delusional?

she can't handle it. I'm the one defending the widow right now and you're criticizing her and you're asking you, I'm delusioned. You took a biblical thing and tried to put it in a place. You read the Bible every day should read that quote again. You're taking that Bible. You will read the Bible every day should read that quote. I want to hear your final thought.

Keep going. My point is this. If you're criticizing a widow, look in the mirror. I'm not saying to you, Vinnie. I'm saying to the rest of the world. If you want to criticize her as a CEO and saying that this isn't her rightful job, cool, that's cool. But isolate the two.

Now for the third point. The whole point that she's crocodile tears, performative, she doesn't really care that her husband was murdered in cold blood. Where are we as a society that we feel like we can just jump down people's throat and criticize every word? And I get it. I got into a, I don't want to say a debate, a full-fledged conversation with my girlfriend. She goes, something's not right about her.

I don't know. The crying, the rings, the outfits. I go, so what are you saying? she's like well i don't know i just i get a weird feeling about her i go well do you think she killed her husband she goes no that's insane i go thank you because people are conflating her crying and fireworks and her being sealed with killing charlie i asked one question what would charlie think right now that's the that's my guiding light what would charlie think he would say oh my god i'm hopefully in heaven while my wife is there suffering and being criticized left and right

while her husband has been shot and assassinated, my two kids are orphans, and people want to criticize her constantly? I think that Charlie had a plan in place. I think that Turning Point USA had a plan in place. I think that they put her in CEO as a reason. Do I think she's the best possible CEO? I don't.

But for now, she's the CEO, and she, in my opinion, is waking up every day, as tough as it is, saying, how can I fulfill what Charlie's legacy is and what he was trying to do? And it's not easy. I'm going to come back to Vinny. Tom, go ahead. So a couple things.

This is a woman who had no time to mourn in the middle of not just the loss of her husband, but a national tragedy with all the weight and all the heaviness and all the media coverage and everything that went with that. And we weren't in the boardroom when the board, this is a nonprofit that has a board. You can go look it up. And there's like four highly experienced men that are on the board of this. The board made the decision. Charities have boards.

And whatever was in Charlie's wishes or a transition plan, here they are. There it is. David Englehart, Doug de Groot. By the way, Pat, you and I were in a Vistage Group with Doug de Groot. Mike Miller and Tom Sodeica. I said, that's the board. And the board has a fiduciary responsibility to, to the charity license to make the choice.

And they made the choice. And we weren't in there for that choice. But what I've seen unfold is the result on Erica of all the stress and everything that goes with it. How can this be easy? This can't be easy. And it concerns me seeing the outcome of Turning Point USA seemingly lose momentum.

And I think that is really sad. Is what Charlie did and how he helped with elections and was moving the hearts of kids on Christian foundation to good conservative thinking, and to see turning point losing that, that bothers me. And lastly, to the verse, I'm going to moderate here real quick on the verse. You quoted the verse in Exodus. That is under the mosaic law, and they were talking about the community's duty to take care

of widows. Why? Women didn't work, and then didn't have economic capability to feed their children. And so they encourage the community, take care of the widow and the fatherless in your community, so we don't come into disrepute of saying that we don't care for God's kids. Under Mosaic law, take care. That's what that was all about. And I don't, I see where you were going, but I don't see the application here.

Yeah, okay. Because she works. What do you mean? Because she works. He's saying that that law was, or that Bible verse was. They didn't work. And women didn't work. So the difference is because she has.

a job now. You said you will not. We can dismiss how widows feel. No, I don't, don't, don't, don't. I look at a very, don't do that. Don't do that. I look at this in a very different way. Is there anything you want to tell Adam Frygo? What I want to say? Because Adam, you're talking about the CEO situation. You realize her husband, Charlie, when he was around and when he was assassinated, security, security detail, ex-military, that job that he has, because she's trying to fill that role is one of the most dangerous jobs, and that proved it. Right then and there. So you want to, I'm not, buddy, has nothing to do. with a widow or not?

Adam, you're taking over a political, like, you understand what TPSA was? Let me just go a different direction then, because you guys got your thoughts, I'll give my thoughts, and my position doesn't change, but there's another element to it that I've never shared before. So who do you think made the decision after Charlie was killed for her to become the CEO?

The board or her? The board? I think her. I think it was the board. Okay. Most organizations have a succession plan. It's part of the chart. So, Tom, I'm part of the board.

What advice you think I give? What advice you think I give if I'm part of the board? You've been in plenty of board meetings with me. You know what I would say? So let's do two things. Vinny says, Erica chose to be the CEO. Okay? You're saying as to board.

You're saying as to board. Okay. Can you run a poll? I'm curious what the audience think. Because this is where I go with this. If it's the board, the board messed up. Why did the board mess up? If you ask me a question like that, do you know what I'm going to say? I'm going to say, first of all, you know, the conversation of you being CEO today is off the table if you ask me. Because you're going to get nonstop criticism. It needs to go to somebody else. let's put somebody else that can take all the arrows that is coming in. Pick someone else, who? I don't know. It can't be you. And I'm going to ask Erica, I'm going to say,

what's the most important thing to you right now? To be a widow wife who lost one of the most important people in the political history ever, maybe the most important voice that we have today. Do you want to go mourn and have the time to yourself? Two, do you want to be a mother or do you want to be a CEO? Which of those three is the most important? to you. That question, if she said mother or mourn, it's, guess what? I'm telling you step away for six

months and just do your thing to get those two things right. We got it. We'll nominate somebody to be the CEO to take all the arrows. And it's your job. Guess what? All the heat, you're getting paid to take all the arrows because that's what comes with the property of being a CEO. Now, If she says, no, I want to be CEO, then you know what I say? Why? Why do you want to be CEO? What's the benefit of being CEO? Why would you want to be CEO today? Because here's what happens. Like, the part that makes it like that scripture you read from Exodus, old school, Moses, is fair, but generally widows step away to more. Of course. Okay. So you have two kids.

They step away to more. They step away to more to go do their own thing. Okay. And it's not like TPSA. She was a face of it. She was not. He was the face of it. That was his job.

Okay. So you want to automatically take this position? No. So I think that applies to what the context was back in the days. There's a lot, guys, there's a lot of weird conspiracy stuff about Erica that comes 24-7. It's nonstop. It's out of control. I've never been fan of the jewelry. I've told you guys

when I was there myself. I've never been fan of the blink blink. I've never been fan of this. I've said that very clearly. I'm not. It's overdoing it. I never saw a lot of makeup. Then I saw a lot of makeup. I never saw a lot of jewelry. Now I see it with a lot of jewelry. That criticism happens when you're on the, what do you call it, on the big stage with the camera. But to me, all of this starts off with when an event like that happens, the board has an immediate meeting, you've got to ask the question, what's more important to you? Being a mom, mourning as a widow, or being a CEO? And then imagine you're in the boardroom, and the answer is, I want to be CEO. Tom, I would kind of be like, are you sure? Yeah. Exactly. Are you sure you

you want to be CEO? Yes. Fast decision. Yeah. And so I would have said, guys, I don't, I don't know if I can contribute, you know, here because I don't think this is the right move. I think the right move is take a break, let the dust settle, get everything squared away, then go. Then go. Because as much as people sympathize, we were at Casa DiAngeloids yesterday, you notice I was 10 minutes, you're standing right next to me, this couple there were talking. What do you think they're talking about? You saw what they're talking about Charlie Kirk? Oh, really?

Yeah. She was talking about Charlie Kirk. The entire conversation was about Charlie Kirk. And she said, my oldest son, who's a grown man. was crying the day Charlie Kirk got killed. And I was telling the story about where we were at. And, you know, yeah. So I don't know.

I think it goes all the way there. So you know what it is? If the story comes out, it never will. But if the story comes up from the board that the board nominated her to be the CEO, I disagree with that decision. I think that's a bad decision. But if their story comes out that she chose to be the CEO, then guess what? You can't be upset with the criticism.

Because what you're telling the world is, You can handle all the heat in the world and you're willing to take it. Then this is a very, very nasty world we're living in. I got a call the other day from a guy. He asked me the weirdest question. This is a very well-known guy. I won't mention his name because it was a private conversation. He is the best at what he's done the last 30 years.

You know who his name is. Everyone knows who this guy's. We're going through the back and forth and he's asking me about some of the stuff that people are calling out and this and that's and he said, does it bother you? I said, no, it doesn't bother me. He says, how do you handle it? I said, the only thing that bothers me is, like, one of my friends came and he says, you know how much stuff to previous company people are saying about you?

I said, you don't need to tell me. Because the five people that I care about their opinions, I already know what they think, and I'm good. So don't worry about sharing it with me. I don't need to know. I'm at a different phase of my life. So you know they're going to come after you. You know they're going to come and target you.

You know they're going to do it. This is not a, not everybody's a Christian. Not everybody lives by, you know, the same rules. Social media is nasty. Just go look at the stuff that they comment. It's very, very ugly. Comedians are going to come after you. The approach is to laugh at it.

The approach is to say, hey, you know what? I guess, you know, you've made it. If Drusky is doing something about you, so people move away. You know, I guess, you know, who had the worst situation in the last few years that changed his reputation? What did they say? What did they make fun of them of? They did a road. The trainer.

It was the worst, like the stuff that happened. So you were for, you know, a week, two weeks, a month, you were probably one of the most searched names in the world because everybody wanted to know where you were and you gave your message, the world stopped, the world watched. So I don't know, for me, as much as I see all of this stuff and let me tell you, it's not fair this, it's not fair to that, I shouldn't be the CEO. I want to know what the board did. I want to go back to that board meeting.

to that board meeting. Because if all those people are board members, did you guys really recommend her to be the CEO? Did you? Why? Why put that board and burden on somebody like that? Why? I don't know.

When Tom was in a bad situation, and by the way, I'm sure they're good people. If we were part of the same vestige, I'm trying to remember him. I don't remember it. This was probably in Northridge, California, when we were a part of that. A long time ago.

Yeah, it was a long time ago, 20 years ago, 15 years ago. But to me, the board has to make the decisions that are not about pleasing somebody. It's what's best for the organization at that time. And by the way, I'm just given my thoughts. I'm not given like, you know, you said something that's very similar to what Whitlock said.

A lot of the points you hit are the points that Whitlock hit. And I saw that, and I thought he was being fair on what he said. And I watch a lot of this stuff the last 24 hours because I'm trying to see what people are saying. Did he say that she shouldn't be? Yeah, he said you should step down. He said, yeah, that part you didn't agree with the woman part. No, but that's what he said.

All right. But to me, Vinnie, to me where I'm at, so to me where I'm at is that board meeting. If there's anything I want to know, I don't want to see text exchanges, email exchanges. I don't want to know anything. I want to know what happened in that board meeting and what was advised? What? And then everything goes from there. If she wanted this job, you got to take all the criticism that's coming.

If they told you to do it, why would you recommend a widow to be a CEO right after her husband got killed? Why? So that's my criticism. All the other stuff, the jewelry stuff, yeah, it's not my stuff, but everybody's different. Vinny likes these, what do you call type of watches? What he called that? A transformer? Transformer.

Adam doesn't drive cars. It's better for society. But he takes super. He likes to be a Uber driver. Right? Hard bad. Tom has his own things that he does. Everybody is different.

Four women. But you cannot expect to be the position that you're in without getting unfair level of scrutiny. And you have to ask yourself, when you're privately by yourself, how much of it did I attract? How much of it could have been avoided? And that's a tough conversation to have. But long term, by the way, if all of a sudden, because it's this event, the tour is then canceled, what does it say? Who do you think chose to become the CEO?

53% are saying Erica Kirk. Well, how does that work? if they all have a say, they're board members. If she's like, I'm not saying that she did this. If she's like, I want to be the CEO. Okay, let me ask you. Say she said she wants to be the CEO. You're a board member.

What do you say? You can actually give good advice and not being afraid of giving the, you know, what do you call it, the controversial advice. What would you really say if she said she wants to be? Give her advice as a sister. Well, number one, how quickly did they make this? Quickly, very quickly. I asked.

Seven days. Okay. Obviously, everyone was still in shock. It's a week later. I think the number one question they would ask is, are you really ready for this? Are you really ready? No, forget about what they said.

What would you say? If I was a board member? She says, I want to be the CEO. If she came and said that, I would gently grill her. Well, why do you want to be the CEO? Do you think you're... Is that not a natural state to question that?

Of course, you have to. So to me, a part of this, Adam, is on two people, her or the board. Nobody else. Well, nobody else. So it doesn't go anywhere. And I don't want to go deeper into this because I know people are going to call me and say, I can't believe you're doing this.

You're doing that. Well, we're already in it. Yeah. And you've said to your position, nothing that you said today was different. But we're kind of Monday morning quarter of, where do you think it goes from here? Because she is the CEO, whether they, whether the board or her. Oh, no. Where it goes from here?

Where do you think it goes from here? It's not about where you go from here. You put yourself in this situation, man up. Nobody told you to be the CEO. A woman up. You know, you got to do it. Well, guess what? That's the criticism.

Well, don't you think whoever was the CEO, if not for her, whoever would have been, knowing today's society and climate and commentators, if they were to pick Bill McGee or whatever. They'd be like, he killed Charlie. I disagree. He killed Charlie. Why? I disagree.

They would have done that to anybody, my opinion. And by the way, at a what scale? Same scale or less? If someone came out of the blue or even one of the board members, you know who you choose as a CEO at this position? Do you know what type of a CEO you choose when something like this happens? Old and stable. You choose the most boring person that's trusted

and that person does it because it's an interim CEO. Then you come back six, 12 months later, after everything is con, and running a poll, getting the audience involved and let the audience say, we want Erica to be the CEO. Then she says, I'm willing to take the job. The sequencing was out of whack. So again, I'm not, I've always, you know, Charlie always had an offer where you could always call me and he would call him and we would have, you know, many different types of conversations and I enjoyed every one of them. So to me, it's actually binary.

You chose to be the CEO? Lots of pressure comes with that. The board said you better be the CEO than the board screwed up. It's that simple. When you say binary, meaning if you're going to take the job, be ready for the criticism. You don't have a choice. By the way, you know why I would say don't take the job as a CEO? Do you know why I would say don't take the job as a CEO?

Because the widow component? No, not at all, not at all. Never, ever, ever follow, to put the pressure of being the shadow of a person that is a one-of-one. You never put the pressure of replacing the shadow is so massive that's your husband. that is not a fair competition. You're not going to replace him. You're not going to be able to do what he does. There is no winning for you.

I don't think she's trying to replace him. I think she's trying to fulfill his buddies. No, but they have to think that way. They have to think that way. And to say that the shadow is there and then the board made the decision, okay, well, I don't know. To me, to me it's problematic and it starts from there.

So either the onus goes on the board, or the onus goes on her. And that part of the criticism, dude, if something happened to, and I don't want to compare it, but if something happens and you raise your hand for the job, you know what this means?

What do you think this means? I'm ready. Let's go. No, what else does this mean? What else does it? You're losing the right to what? Complaint. Complaint.

About what? Anything. Criticism? Anything. The road ahead. But I think this is me. From a business perspective, I'm with you. From a moral perspective, the lies out there, the accusations, that's not, does it come with the territory?

There's no other CEO in America who's accused of killing the former CEO. He's going to come with the territory. Well, that's a sad state of affairs in society. Adam gets evil. Just because you get the CEO, be ready to be accused of murder. The guy at the top had three assassination attempts on him, accused of being a, pedophile, you know, they were accusing him of having sex with his daughter? Yep, you remember that?

What's bigger than that? I mean, do you realize, like, it's absurd. But that's what, but that's part of the pressure. You chose to be the president. Yep. Don't, don't feel, you know, I'm not going to sympathize for you. I hear you. And he chose this job.

And he asked one question, and I want, I want you to answer it. You said, because you were like, oh, everybody's going after. If Charlie right now would look down at him and say something to her, what do you think Charlie would say? You think Charlie Kirk would say, keep take my what do you think he would say what would have his wife's back hold on hold on understand the challenges so what would he say to her in regard to this situation before she's CEO

what does he say tells me that she and him she's praying to him nonstop and something I think we forget one thing this woman did just just come out of the blue forget about the CEO for a second this was this man's wife I understand that they had kids together you know you was talking about the last person you're here do you know the conversations they had as he was building this company? I don't, look, I get it. What do you think Charlie would say, God rest his soul, he's gone?

And he has a moment. You think, I'm curious, what does he tell her in that moment to be the CEO and take over everything? Do you think he's basically would be saying, you're doing a horrible job, do better? I didn't say afterwards. I'm saying, in that moment. Encouraging her and understanding. I think he would say, babe, go take care and raise our children. You got, you're financially set for life.

And why didn't she pick that at the beginning then? Adam. And by the way, that's where the criticism. That's the criticism. And guess what? You know, this is not about, there's a reason why I don't touch this topic. Yeah. There's one reason why I don't like to touch this topic because of one guy.

Charlie. That's it. I don't like to touch this stuff. It's a weird thing to have this conversation. You feel it in the room right now. I speak, I speak here, assuming, Andrew, one of the guys is going to watch it and say, now we know where they're at and there's, I'm very comfortable with my, positions. I won't go to sleep, losing sleep over the fact that I'm being unfair. I don't worry about

that. What I'm saying to you is, if this is my daughter, if this is my sister, my advice would be not right now. That would be my advice. Not right now. Okay. And, and, you know, all the other stuff when, you know, when people say stuff from both sides, well, let me tell you, I think Charlie this, I think Charlie Dad, those conversations are different conversations, but this is a very delicate situation. So I want to wrap up with this last story and then we finish up. It is a Friday. So let's go with this story. Let's have some good news before we.

I want to do this story here and we'll wrap up. And we'll go and finish it up here. So there is a story that I sent you? No, this is it. This is Y-47, Vinnie. Wow. This is hilarious. You hit peak happiness according to science.
