Starting point is 00:05:59 He's watching this right now. He is not feeling well at all. This is not a guy that calls in sick or anything like that. Talk to his wife Kim yesterday. So for those of you who absolutely love Tom, you know what I want you to do? I want you to force him to talk by Manecting Kim and giving him the best, wishing him the best. You know he checks all the Manects out there as well. Rob, if you can put up Tom's Manect QR code, go to Tom's Manect right there. I want to say, where is he ranked right now for the month?

Starting point is 00:06:28 Is he fifth place or sixth place? I don't know where he's at. He is fourth place right behind Adam. He's at 513, Vinny's at 481, Adam's at 535, and he's 619. Why don't you bump Tom up above Adam by wishing him, give him some love, and maybe send a couple of Mannequins giving some hey to Adam. He'll take you, trust me. He doesn't mind at all.

Starting point is 00:06:49 I'm actually going to Mannequin Tom because I don't have his number. There you go. You should. All right. Having said that, I do want to share something with you guys as an opening monologue before we get into the podcast here today. This morning I'm reading an article from 2017 Kellogg School. Kellogg is known as one of the best marketing schools out there Rob if you can go to the story here if you can just

Starting point is 00:07:09 Go to the story click on the link below Is it not it's a very very very respectful school sitting near a high performer Can make you better at your job. It's called a spillover from certain coworkers can boost our productivity or jeopardize our employment. What are they saying? Go a little bit lower to read this a little closer. The people we sit near at work inevitably impact our day. They may brighten our mood or drive us crazy. So for me, like I have a problem here, right, 25-foot?

Starting point is 00:07:42 What's more, our neighbors can actually change how we do at our jobs. Researchers looked at the 25 foot radius around high performers at a large technology firm and found that these workers boosted performers in coworkers by 15%. That spillover, positive spillover translated into an estimated $1 million in additional annual profits according to new research from Dylan Miner and assistant professor at managerial economics and decision sciences at Kellogg. Now watch this here, how this continues. So 25 feet radius, 15% positive, okay?

Starting point is 00:08:18 Watch the opposite. The flip side is that bad eggs impact their neighbors too. Negative spillovers from so-called toxic coworkers is even more pronounced, sometimes having twice the magnitude of impact on profits as positive spillovers. Yet while this toxic spillover happens very quickly, it also dissipates almost immediately once that worker is either fired or relegated to the far physical reaches of the company. You can stop with the story here.

Starting point is 00:08:49 What is this story about? If you think about a lady this morning, Crystal, who her and I manect a lot, she manected me today to speak to her son, 13-year-old son. I've met him before. So I sent him a message this morning on the drive here talking to him about what it is to be 13 years old son, I've met him before. So I sent him a message this morning on the drive here talking to him about what it is to be 13 years old. I've been talking to my boys right now about a book I'm reading called Aggressive Girls and Clueless Boys.

Starting point is 00:09:12 Every father with boys has to read this book because nowadays girls are approaching guys about sex and flirting versus it used to be the other way around. We have to. Today girls are the ones that are more aggressive. If you have a son, do whatever you can. Don't look at the ratings, just go read this book. It's 80 pages, you must read this book. Every parent, it's very necessary for you to read this book.

Starting point is 00:09:30 It's 136 pages. So I'm talking to this kid about one of the most basic things you can do in life at early ages to win is choose your friends wisely. Later on in your career, one of the best things you can do in your life is choose your bosses, the company you work with, and your coworkers wisely. Later on in your career, one of the best things you can do in your life is choose your bosses, the company you work with, and your coworkers wisely. You do, you'll grow.

Starting point is 00:09:51 You'll do better. You don't, you'll hate the company. You'll hate your boss. You'll be angry at everybody. You'll be walking on eggshells like, oh my God, I can't believe this, and you're thinking it's you, it's somebody else. Now don't get me wrong, some people in life are crap magnus. There are people that purely are crap magnates.

Starting point is 00:10:06 They cannot help themselves but constantly attract negativity and problems in your life. You've got to do whatever you can to avoid those folks. But if you can simply decide to attract better people in your life, your life can improve in every possible way. Many years ago, I wanted to learn how to be a better networker. There was a guy I would work a room with and I would watch this guy. I'm like, oh my God, this guy's a great networker.

Starting point is 00:10:30 I'd never seen a networker like this before. This guy was a former hairstylist for Diana Ross and Michael Jackson and he would go into a room and it was like, boom, he went from this guy to that guy to this guy to this guy to that guy. And then all of a sudden we're in the office of the CEO's and I'm like, how the hell did this guy do it?

Starting point is 00:10:45 Couldn't believe how the guy would network. What's the moral of the story? Networking has changed. There's been an evolution to networking. But for us, I took many of those things I learned many years ago and I applied it in business and raising money and getting in rooms and getting guests on the podcast and recruiting folks who became presidents of the company, CTOs, technology investors, raising money. But the ability to network is so critical today because there's an element of networking

Starting point is 00:11:14 that's also networking and finding your peer group, your friends. There's eight mistakes people make when it comes down to networking, next Tuesday at 3pm, Tuesday March 4th, at 3pm, I'm going to give you a PDF of the eight mistakes people make on networking. On this webinar that I'm hosting, you can go to VTWebinar.com to register. Again, VTWebinar.com to register. You're going to get those eight mistakes. Trust me, you want to know what these eight mistakes are because it's do's and don'ts that we'll cover on that podcast and on that Zoom.

Starting point is 00:11:48 It's a one-hour Zoom, free for everybody. And I'll share the evolution of networking tools. And also on that webinar, I'm going to give you three updates. Massive, massive new features on Manek that I'm so excited about and an opportunity for some of you guys to come and join us at Kentucky Derby. So go to VT Webinar, register for it and I look forward to seeing you there next Tuesday, the 4th at 3pm Eastern Standard Time.

Starting point is 00:12:14 Registered. We'll see you there. Alright, having said that, let's get right into it. Stories with what's going on. So California, Newsom sends Congress $40 billion request for LA fire aid. So hey Congress, we need $40 billion. Congress then comes and gets the money from taxpayers. So that means you're really fixing the problem of his lack of leadership. They're coming to collect money.

Starting point is 00:12:41 So Newsom requests $40 billion in federal aid, described as the most expensive disaster in U.S. history after Hurricane Force winds destroyed over 16,000 structures in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, addressing congressional leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson, Democratic leader Kim Jeffries. Make no mistakes, L.A. will use this money wisely. Do you believe that? Who believes that? Let me read that one more time How do you opens it up? Make no mistake?

Starting point is 00:13:08 Los Angeles will use this money wisely. Who is the head of Los Angeles? Who is the head of the state? We have to trust that he's gonna use the money wisely Of course, he used the 24 billion dollars to fix homelessness in California very wisely. We know where that went They saw and eliminated all of it, right? it. I mean homelessness didn't just double or triple. So to assist individuals, businesses and property owners, he stressed California's economic importance, calling it the tent pole of the American economy and stating California's success is America's success. The request faces Republican opposition with Donald Trump and allies pushing for conditions

Starting point is 00:13:39 on the aid as part of a broader Washington debate. Newsom, who previously traveled to Washington to appeal directly to Trump acknowledged the administration's past support writing Trump and his administration have demonstrated a strong commitment to LA's recovery etc etc. And meanwhile, two other stories allowed to this. I'm not going to read it. LA Chief Fire Department fired and on top of that more than a quarter of LA Palisades borrowers are at risk of delinquency. Brandon, what are your thoughts on this story? Yeah, so I do not think for one second that we should give them any money, especially

Starting point is 00:14:11 not giving it to them to handle themselves. Like between the homelessness and then the high-speed railway was supposed to cost $33 billion at the beginning. It's like in phase one still and it's already up to $120-something billion and they barely even clear it. You're saying don't even give any money even if there's somebody that they're if they're handling it don't give it to them like I Think the federal government should be managing the way that they spend it and not like have maybe a project manager That's working for the federal government Who would you trust on Trump's team to manage it beginning to end that?

Starting point is 00:14:40 Newsome has to report to Anybody that did any of his projects, because he's a professional at that, at making sure things get done on time in a cheap way. But California is like the equivalent of Ukraine. It's like a black hole for money. Any money that we've ever sent to California just disappeared.

Starting point is 00:14:56 The thing that was supposed to fix has gotten worse after we gave them the money. And in addition to that, it's a place that's being held captive right now by a super majority. So Trump originally said that he was going to give it to them if they did some simple things like requiring voting ID. So I would like him to see him do that too, because he has some leverage here. So this is a good chance for Trump to use that to get things changed in the state of California. Yeah, absolutely.

Starting point is 00:15:17 How far you think he can go? You think he can go as far as trying to get the state to flip? And if yes, how would he cause the state to flip? What could Trump do to cause the state to flip and if yes, how would he cause the state to flip? What could Trump do to cause the state to flip? I think if you just required voting ID, something simple like that, the state might be a red state. We have no idea what the actual voting demographics of California are because of the way they do things like that.

Starting point is 00:15:34 That is such a good point. It's the most chaotic voting place I've ever seen, plus the super majority. So let's negotiate that. So you're Trump, I'm Newsom. I come to you, hey, we need 40 billion dollars. What do you tell me? Okay, you need voting ID requirements. I'm not going to do it. You can't make me do that. These people need help.

Starting point is 00:15:49 We can't do anything then. So you're going to let these people go without getting any help? These people are suffering. No, you're letting them do it. I'm just asking you to do a simple thing. But I don't have $40 billion. I need your $40 billion. You have the ability to require voting IDs. These are two different issues. We can talk about that on a different setting, but these people need the help right now. The position of the federal government is that if you do not require voting IDs, we will not give you $40 billion.

Starting point is 00:16:09 What do you think is the likelihood that that happens? What do you think is the likelihood that happens, Amy? I don't think it's very likely that that would occur. I think it should. I think that this is an incredible opportunity to create incentive for California to really right a lot of the wrongs that they've had if Trump can leverage it to that end that would be amazing however I think the Democrats are going to hold on to anything they can to be able to maintain the advantage that has probably won them

Starting point is 00:16:37 the previous election and is the only reason in any sense of the world it was remotely close or at least portrayed close in media is because of the mass over-representation of illegals that they were probably bringing in to keep Democrats in power. Yeah Vinny. I don't give a... listen it's at the point where we have to just... and I'm with Brandon we have to say absolutely not and he could cry and he could do whatever he wants because this is exactly... him doing the no voter ID is basically saying we don't give a damn who's Here we just want to keep our power and you know who's now making her rounds I showed up yesterday in Palisades, and she's doing her word salad speech Kamala Harris guys because if he's gonna leave Tony Robbins if you got

Starting point is 00:17:18 Because if you think about it guys He's he's probably gonna be out really really soon because people are fed up with him and guess who's gonna come in Kamala Harris So that's gonna land on the voters the people of California It's up to them because if they don't do it I told Brandon yesterday. I'm done with you Pat I'm done with you guys if you keep voting for this and then afterwards disaster strikes and you guys keep crying You guys are zero money until there's accountability. Yeah, because by you saying this, Governor Newsome, Newscom, I'm sorry. I'll role play. Okay, we've got role play. You on your own, you're saying no voter ID, meaning two people that went to go vote that I know. Mr. President, you're combining two separate issues. No, but what

Starting point is 00:17:58 I'm saying is the bigger problem what you're doing is literally telling people illegals to come, which in turn makes people hold on drugs. These people are suffering. These people don't have a place. These people need help. These people need money to fix these things. What about the people that are suffering with Fentanyl, 250,000 people dead a year?

Starting point is 00:18:15 Those are two separate issues. We're trying to address this issue now. You are taking your time. They're suffering. The people of California need your help, Mr. President. Guess what? The people of California will be on my side knowing that you need voter ID. You think so?

Starting point is 00:18:27 1000%. Okay, so let me tell you. This is a very important point you're making, the backbone of California voters, because folks, just so you know, the moves they're making is for him to get out and for her to get in. Rob, play the clip here. Watch this clip here. Tell me if you want this person as your governor. Go back and see if this is a person. This is Fires. She's over there.

Starting point is 00:18:49 Now see if you want this person as your governor. Go ahead, Rob. It goes through your mind when you see this. You're here. You're now seeing it up close. It's not only seeing it, Alex. You can smell it. You can feel it, right? So it's seeing it with our eyes and many people have feel it right so it's seeing it with our eyes and many people have seen it you all are covering it literally be on the ground here you can smell the smoke that was here you can feel the frankly of the environment you can feel the energy of all of the folks who are still here on the ground. It goes through your mind. She's been on vacation, probably drinking, and they're like, hey, Kamala,

Starting point is 00:19:35 it's time. And she's like, I'm just going to do this. And that's the future. And if you guys vote for her, that's where it comes back. I have zero remorse. You were in California yesterday I was in California. You should see I was yes. I was in California With a bunch of Assyrians. Any beautiful girls future wives possibly? Hold on two things I have to say. Tell me the quality of the girls the ladies Assyrians. Guys I'm looking for somebody for Vinny Hold on. The show amazing The eights and nines. Oh, but you know I'm laughing at? My mom is literally a pimp. The receptionist is a Syrian. She's like, I'm a kid before I die.

Starting point is 00:20:11 So I'm like, mom, this is like you're being a pimp live. The show was amazing. Shout out to everybody for Sweeney and Shereel. But the quality of California, the homeless. I got- What were they saying politically about California? Where are they at? Like some of the guys that maybe support a new system.

Starting point is 00:20:25 Great point. I'm in the lobby and I'm with my whole family. There's like ten of us. And all of a sudden a whole table is like, oh, PBD, a Latino group with kids. They were there for their kids baseball tournament. And he goes, man, what you guys are saying about this effing Newsome, he's like, we live by that railway, that 17-built Hispanic family shitting on and saying, they don't give us any other options to vote. And that's why I respect them.

Starting point is 00:20:50 But for anybody else that keeps voting for them because you have to be true to your party, I have zero remorse because you're voting for it. You want it, that's what you get. Adam. She's coming. So California is going to get whatever they deserve. In essence, what you have to do is ask if you're gonna ask if you're gonna send them this money What percentage was it a natural disaster?

Starting point is 00:21:10 Versus what percentage was it just complete government incompetence? I'm never gonna be the zero or 100 guys zero money ever again 100% or yes, just keep throwing money at Ukraine keep throwing money at, California I'm never gonna be in that camp isolationist extremist It doesn't work for me, but there doesn't need to be accountability and we get to figure out what percentage was just complete Government incompetence. I don't know how you can figure out that number I'm sure you can get Doge on the scene. What I do know is this you're talking about people in California Whether they're gonna vote Republican or not. We remember what happened in the recall with Gavin Newsom would have been in 2021-2022 whatever year that was. They thought Larry Elder was gonna beat him blowout

Starting point is 00:21:51 Okay, this is gonna shock you a little bit but I actually have a couple liberal friends in California and I'm on a group text message with all these guys and One of them is he's a he's a he's a known guy. He's in the Hollywood world. Yeah And I'm like listen guys, what the hell's what? And one of them is he's a known guy. He's in the Hollywood world. Yeah. And I'm like, listen guys, what the hell's... Keep going. Pat, you're gonna interrupt me? No, I'm just saying where your friends are from. Pat, what's your point?

Starting point is 00:22:17 The point is I'm basically saying, dude, what's going on there? What percentages was just incompetence, DEI, just completely unqualified for your job He's like how dare you even ask that right now. How dare you even assume that I go I mean, it's your city's on fire. You lost you literally lost your home. You don't have any additional questions Just want to ride with the government. Yeah, I said we're going back and forth. They're going back and forth I go let me answer just one question

Starting point is 00:22:43 When's the last time that you voted for any? Non-democrat Republican independent. He's like why would what why do you want to know that? Well, I just simple question. It's like why what does it matter? I just answer the question and then ready I would never vote for a Republican in my life I swear to God they're the worst can't believe I go exactly so whatever you got I would never vote for a Republican in my life. I swear to God, they're the worst. Can't believe, I go, exactly. Don't feel bad for you then. So whatever you got, you got. Rob, who is this?

Starting point is 00:23:09 Is it the chief getting fired? This is Karen Bass. Yes, the governor, I'm sorry, the mayor of Los Angeles talking about how the buck stops with her at the firing of Kristen Crowley, the LA Fire Chief, but just a week earlier, she then also blames Kristen Crowley. It's a good.

Starting point is 00:23:30 Yes, as the mayor of the city, the buck stops with me. I am in charge. However, the person in charge of the fire department, as I mentioned before, whenever there was a fire emergency, a weather emergency or a hint of a problem. I am contacted directly, and not just by Chief Crowley, but by any of the heads of the departments. As you know, we have over 40 departments. When I talked about it with the Fire Chief, what she said is that we have warnings of Santa Ana winds a lot.

Starting point is 00:24:03 But predicting this, and you saw, from the city, from the county, that level of preparation really didn't happen. So it didn't reach that level to me to say something terrible could happen and maybe you shouldn't have gone on the trip. What does this mean, Rob? So one minute the buck stops with me, second minute she's blaming Kurt? Yeah, and you can't accept responsibility. And then as you're accepting responsibility, say the buck stops with me.

Starting point is 00:24:30 However, you're immediately directing blame back to the other person. Right. And she fired her. She did. Well, remember, though, this happened like weeks ago. Remember, it was a couple of days after the fire happened. And the chief spoke out against the mayor saying, like, hey, what are we supposed to do if the water's not in the hydrants then like minutes after that article articles came out that she got fired and then they kind of pulled back on a little bit so this decision seems like it was made weeks ago well I

Starting point is 00:24:53 want to show you this here Rob if you don't mind if you can do me a favor so and these two kind of go hand in hand you'll see why so we're at an event in DC we're at CPAC afterwards we go to a doge party at this beautiful penthouse. What was it, five story penthouse of Dwight Howard that the new guy, a Bitcoin guy, I don't wanna say his name, he bought. So beautiful property, you're going there. We're at the top, and by the way,

Starting point is 00:25:15 Tico got in at 13 years old. He got in, so he's kinda like hanging out. He goes in, mustache let him in. He's tall and he's got big hands, big feet, so they're kinda like, this guy must be at least 18 years old, so they let him in. We go into this place, we're walking up, him and Tom are at the top on a rooftop. Shout out to Tom.

Starting point is 00:25:33 Tom, they're chanting, keep fascists out of D.C. Fascists out of D.C. And then you got Tom and Tico from the top, they're chanting. What are they chanting? Give fascism a chance! Give fascism a chance! Give fascism a chance! So anyways, I'm coming up, I'm like, Tom's either being a bad influence on Tico,

Starting point is 00:25:53 or something's going on. So we're like, okay guys, we gotta go get the plane, because we got back at 1.30 in the morning, so we get down. While we walk down, I wanna walk up to these guys, to see what they're all about. Rob, is this the tweet tweet or is this my video? Which one is this?

Starting point is 00:26:07 This is your video? Yes, my video. The other video, Rob, okay, so play this and then go to the other one. I see what you're doing. Go for it. So this is, I just walk up to this guy to say, what are you upset about? That's me, that's Brandon. There's our service agent.

Starting point is 00:26:22 So cops come in, and he can't answer me anything while I'm asking him questions. And then boom, he spits on the federal agent's back. Boom. See right there on the back? Okay. Go to the other clip. Obviously he gets arrested. If you go to the Twitter one, there's a different clip.

Starting point is 00:26:38 He gets arrested. And he gets arrested afterwards. Guys are maniacing me and texting me and saying, hey, Pat, you should file this. You should go sue this guy. You should do that. You should do this. And by the way, this is a different angle.

Starting point is 00:26:50 Go a little bit lower. Mario Nafal put the clip. Go a little bit lower, a little bit lower, a little bit lower, a little bit lower. Right there, okay. So- Well, that's freedom, whatever. Oh, just the tweet.

Starting point is 00:27:00 Zoom in on Mario's clip, Rob, if you could. Yeah, go. So zoom out a little. What'd you say? I have freedom news. We gotta care for it. Oh, okay, got it if you could. Zoom out a little. What did you say? Freedom news. Got it. Got it. Okay, sounds good.

Starting point is 00:27:10 So anyways, so the question becomes, what are they complaining about? Are they complaining about Doge doing what? Firing people that are government employees who are maybe not working? One guy came up to me with a mask screaming, angry, just ahhh, going like this. And then you realize these are paid agitators. These are not people that are protesting. By the way, Rob, do me a favor. Play the clip that's in the notes section that I have of Bill Clinton.

Starting point is 00:27:37 You tell me who this person sounds like. This is Bill Clinton, okay? I want to say this is 93, okay? Look what he's talking about. This is maybe the OG Doge, and the Democrats applauded him for doing this. Go ahead, Rob, play this clip. We cut the federal government by more than 100,000 positions in the last two years. Oh, really? What? Okay. We're on the way to reducing it with laws already passed by 272,000 positions.

Starting point is 00:28:03 Oh, really? Making it the smallest it's been in2,000 positions. Oh really? Making it the smallest it's been in more than 30 years. Oh wow, so you're firing people. We cut taxes for 15 million working families with 40 million Americans in it. About an average of $1,000 apiece for families of four with incomes under $26,000 this year. We made nine of ten of our small businesses eligible for tax reductions respect We invested in the tools our people need in education and training and technology. Yep We did more to open markets in the last two years than in any previous period in a generation. Okay

Starting point is 00:28:38 The results are clear those those those the deficit that two years ago was projected to be over $400 billion a year by the end of the decade is now under $200 billion. It's going down for three years in a row, for the first time since Truman was president. The economic plan we have already passed will cut the deficit in half as a percentage of our economy. We have almost 6 million new jobs. The biggest year in economic growth in 1994 in a decade with 93% of those jobs in the private sector

Starting point is 00:29:09 That's the largest percentage of private-sector. Who's he sound like you going? Who's he sound like to you when you're listening? Like Trump Someone who has common suit sue them for like copyright like he's stealing they stole His this whole... But by the way, they loved him then, right? And his speaker of the house was who? Newt Gingrich, who was a man of the year on the cover of Time magazine. But I want you to watch this other clip.

Starting point is 00:29:34 I want to play this to see where the controversy is. Here's Barack Obama in 2008. Play this clip. Tell me who this sounds like. Go ahead. The Bush administration has done nothing to control the problem that we have. We've had five million undocumented workers come over the border since George Bush took office. It has become an extraordinary problem.

Starting point is 00:29:55 And the reason the American people are concerned is because they are seeing their own economic positions slip away. And oftentimes employers are exploiting these undocumented workers. They're not paying the minimum wage. They're not observing worker safety laws. And so what we have to do is create a comprehensive solution to the problem. Now, I have already stated that as president,

Starting point is 00:30:20 I will hear. It's interesting. You hear him, you hear Clinton Clinton you hear them saying that and that's what what doge Trump Musk Homan are doing. What are you upset about Brandon? Yeah. No, it's interesting, too I mean you see clips of Hillary She literally sounds more conservative than Trump like God and someone she's debating Obama with us and all that So this is an example of how far left the left has moved for people who say they used to be in the middle They ended up on the right now because you know things shifted to that degree and

Starting point is 00:30:47 I I think they're importing these people like this because they see that playing out and you know interesting thing about Clinton during his presidency was the only year in the last 70 years we had a surplus I sent Rob a chart where there's this little blip on every single year we're in a deficit that one time when Clinton was president it's the only time we had a surplus ever since I think like 1960 1950 So I mean I don't see a single positive thing or a single negative thing you criticize about Doge. That's that's the chart Brandon Yeah, yeah, so look at that. That's what Clint was talking about. Look at that chart. Look at that By the way Rob, can you can you circle around what era he's talking about? Yeah

Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah, only time Bill Clinton was the only president to balance the budget. We had no deficit under Clinton. Yeah because he was hooking up with somebody other than Hillary in the White House. If you want to save trillions of dollars I don't care who he hooks up with. So it's an easy joke. That's the whole thing with Clinton. Everyone thinks of Clinton as he's sort of like a laugh line. Oh Clinton he likes all you know things under the desk in the Oval Office. Listen buddy, James Carpenter who we'll talk about one time, he, you know, things under the desk in, in, um, the oval office. Listen, buddy, the James Carpenter who we'll talk about one time, he says, you know, what didn't you like

Starting point is 00:31:49 about the nineties under Clinton? Did you not like the peace or the prosperity? Which one? Every country wants the same thing. Peace and prosperity. We were doing great under Clinton. We've come a long way since Clinton. Now, as far as this whole situation with the, with CPAC and doge them like that, it was actually an awesome time. Thank you for the opportunity. Pat was sick. I'm here. I'm holding the schedule of events. So Javier Malay speaks. Um, some guy named Patrick bed, David gets up and speaks, you know, crushes it. Secretary Doug, Doug, Doug. Want to give him a best friend hug, Doug Burgum. Then, um, Tom Homan comes out there, fricking rock star. Could

Starting point is 00:32:27 have been drunk. Don't care. Let's get stuff done. Georgia Maloney. She comes in from Italy. She's all seeing at least the phonic gets out there. She's crushing it. She's kind of, kind of good looking by the way. Anyway, then Donald Trump came out there and did a 90 minute, I don't know, standup comedy act. You're stupid. You're gay. You're great. Everyone's awesome. Boom. We had an awesome time. And then we ended up going to this Doge party and it's so funny. Like, you know, I'm all about juxtaposition. Like one thing's one thing. Once we walk in and young Tico, God bless Tico. He's turned into such a stud. I didn't know about him when he was younger. He's getting, he's getting there. We walk in and he goes, he goes, I just want to go

Starting point is 00:33:04 to someplace quiet. I don't want to be in for the party. You know, if Dylan was there, he's like, where were the party at? You know that. So Tika walks in, I just want to go someplace quiet and we're looking for a little place to go. I'm like, I take him to like a little room. He's by himself. I'm like, he's like, I don't want to hear by myself. I'm like, you're at a party dude. So we get in there five minutes later, there's protesters, he's up there. He's doing the Trump dance, but these guys, they don't have anything going like they have no semblance. So it's like the guy who got arrested is like, what are

Starting point is 00:33:38 you in for buddy? Spitting. Yeah. I spit a little bit on this podcast guy. They don't know what they're yelling about. They have no clue what they're talking about and it's just they're they're just raw emotion piss and vinegar. They have zero facts Everyone should want to save money. Everyone would try to limit its liabilities Everyone should want to limit our expenditures, but they just hate Elon and they hate Trump Do they so whatever he does Trump derangement syndrome? well did you see what Elon said about when he's sitting at a dinner party and Trump comes up? Because people just, it's almost

Starting point is 00:34:10 like they get tranquilizer dart in your neck, bro, and they start convulsing and get rabies. These people hate Trump so much, they'd rather the government suffer rather than have him succeed. But here's the thing too, guys. I tried to put myself in their shoes, meaning the federal employees and then the leadership, okay? The employees, can you imagine, you're getting paid $100,000 a year and you don't do shit. You don't do nothing. Then all of a sudden, a real boss comes in, he appoints Elon Musk who is numbers guy,

Starting point is 00:34:41 hires guys named Big Balls that are just in there looking for that shit, and you're about to lose your job, of course you're gonna get furious, of course you're gonna get mad. And then the leadership, the Bernie Sanders, upper lip doesn't move, and all those guys, bro, they get all the kickbacks, all the money, so when you start taking the money, it's like in the movie Casino,

Starting point is 00:35:00 when you start messing with the mafia's money and their take, what? He goes, you mean they're skimming off the top What do you mean go there and they kill everybody they're furious that the money's losing Joe Pesci Yeah, exactly But we're winning and guys and I said this before it's gonna hurt this winning is going to freaking hurt But who gives a shit we have to have it The paid agitators take is really interesting and you know

Starting point is 00:35:24 I wouldn't have considered it, but it actually does make a lot of sense because we've come so far since the work mine virus was cranked up to the most absurd extent possible. We're course correcting on a lot of things. The fact that people are still upset about some things that should be just be so blatantly obvious. It could only make sense if there were funding behind the scenes or paid agitators to keep everybody inflamed because at this point it just doesn't make sense

Starting point is 00:35:52 why people would be so pissed off about this stuff. Especially the thing about report on what you're doing for your job, that's something that every single industry should incorporate into their business structure to some extent. I know that's something that I need to do every single week. I need to report on what I do. If government workers who are making, as Vinny said, potentially six-figure incomes or have other interests that are paying them, can't even outline like five things that they could do. Yeah, no, kick them out. Well, watch this here. So while we're going through this, these guys are saying send us an email of what you did

Starting point is 00:36:26 last week. We want to know, right? Send us an email. So Elon Musk says, bar is very low after ordering federal employees to fill out productivity reports or resign. Basic question he's asking, right? Musk says federal workers must detail what they've done or risk losing their jobs, as a Wall Street Journal story.

Starting point is 00:36:45 Overseeing the Department of DOJ under Trump announced that all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week and warned that failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. The Office of Personal Management, OPM, confirmed employees must submit five bullets of what you accomplished last week by Monday night, though some agencies, including the FBI under Director Cash Patel, have instructed employees to pause any responses while reviewing the directive. The order has triggered confusion and legal scrutiny across federal agencies, with officials at the Department of Justice and Health and Human Services employees not to respond.

Starting point is 00:37:19 Sean Kevney, acting General House at HHS, called the demand personally insulting after working over 70 hours advancing administration priorities. Everett Kelly, President of the American Federal Government, and employees warned that the union will challenge any lawful terminations of our members and federal employees across the country. Rob, do you have a clip on this? Because it shows yellow as if there's a clip on this. I do.

Starting point is 00:37:41 I have a clip from Elon Musk. This is back in January where he talks about the actual shrinking, the size of the government, and how that's going to benefit the economy. So then what I'm going to go to is I'm going to go to the other story and then I want you to play the clip. The new Small Business Administration goes viral after she tours empty cubes. If you have this, so this is the SBA Chief Kelly Loeffler posted a video from her second day on the job touring empty offices and stating about 90% of our employees are working from home.

Starting point is 00:38:10 Well, that ends Monday with President Trump's order to return to work. Watch this clip here. Go for it. Kelly Loeffler, SBA Chief, Kelly Loeffler Hi everyone. Kelly Loeffler. It's my second day here at the SBA. I could not be more excited to be here. So I thought I'd take a walk.

Starting point is 00:38:23 And what I found is that exactly what's been said is true. About 90% of our employees are working from home. Well, that ends Monday with president Trump's order to return to work. It's a tremendous waste of taxpayer dollars to be paying for people and offices that are not showing up for work. So what we're going to do Monday morning, be back in the office, just like our small businesses that we serve every single day that work for us seven days a week. We're going to be here working for them. So, and question, why are they not working from the office?

Starting point is 00:38:56 Because we're still from Craven time. There's another coronavirus coming. We're still on lock, literally still from Craven. Monkeypox, what's going on here? Yeah. This is absurd. It's absolutely absurd. So. Taking advantage of the system. That're literally still from COVID. Monkeypox? What's going on here? This is absurd. This is absolutely absurd. So.

Starting point is 00:39:07 Taking advantage of the system. That's exactly what the hell they're doing. And that time is over, bro. By the way, Sheena made a great point. The building, the lease, the rent, the air conditioning, the light. Come to work, you lazies. Those people that are mad. Wait, I gotta make a list of what I do a week?

Starting point is 00:39:24 Yeah, that was a test. Now we know exactly it's you. You're the ones that aren't doing shit. The ones that are doing their job, quick. If you, Pat, right now, you said, Vinny, give me a list of what you do in a day. Okay, short, writing, sketch, podcast. If I went like this, Pat, what do you mean?

Starting point is 00:39:39 You don't trust me? That's the guy that you have to worry about because you know he ain't doing shit. That's the guy. That's what he's doing. So, one of the guys ran up to me. Remember the guy that you have to worry about because you know he ain't doing shit. That's the guy. That's what he's doing. Good script. One of the guys ran up to me.

Starting point is 00:39:48 Remember the guy with the mask on and the glasses? You guys recorded him. I don't know who recorded him. Somebody got his clip. He says, you know I just lost my government job? I'm trying to talk to these guys. You cannot talk to these guys. But the reality of it is, you got two million employees of which only 6% work at the office.

Starting point is 00:40:05 What company is going to be okay with that? By the way, there's another report that came in that they're going to Pentagon. I saw a number here, Rob. I don't know what page it's on. It's one of the stories here. It's right below that. The Pentagon expects to fire up to 8% of its civilian workforce. 8%.

Starting point is 00:40:18 By the way, of course, what are you going to do? So go back to that story, Rob, that you had. So Pentagon expects to fire up to 8% of its civilian workforce, 5,400 probation employees face dismissal starting next week, Hexed champions Trump's campaign to slash federal workers ranks. Of course, what do you mean you're not coming to work? Since when has this been okay? And now you expect for people to sit around and say this is fine?

Starting point is 00:40:39 Go ahead, Brandon. Well yeah, so there's two, the two laziest workers in the in the country I think our union workers and government workers and then now you have union workers and government workers combined like so the Of all the states in the country the two biggest on populations of federal workers per capita, Maryland, Virginia Where they have in common like the biggest wealth gap in the entire country is in Washington DC So, you know, you have like the most crime the highest poverty rate but also the highest income per capita amongst like the top people. So when this is an example of the market not deciding like the value of people, this is the federal government deciding the value of people. So there's pouring money into like these jobs that it's not the market choosing these things, it's the government choosing them. So that's a byproduct of that.

Starting point is 00:41:22 It's like a totally unnatural thing. DC is run like differently than any other place in the country. It's a disaster. Amy. Yeah, I think it's absolutely insane for any industry to practice this as a normalized standard. I mean, don't get me wrong. There are other there are online opportunities out there where you can make money without a salary without somebody paying you week by week and you can make money based off your own efforts. If people wanna complain about having to show up to do work in their workspace,

Starting point is 00:41:49 then maybe find one of those online opportunities where you can get paid based on the value that you're bringing to the marketplace. Then maybe you'll have a flyer lit under your ass to actually go to work. But being someone who, this is actually, you may not know this, Pat, this is my first job that I've ever had

Starting point is 00:42:04 where I actually need to show up and be somewhere. I've been involved in various different sales opportunities, various different investing things. And one thing that I can say is, I've always been a high achiever, but when I looked at my peers, it was insane. The amount of burnout rate and turnover rate, people just wouldn't make it

Starting point is 00:42:23 because they couldn't show up and put in the work. The fact of the matter is, for most people, they need somebody, they need some accountability in order to show up and in order to get their job done. And especially when it comes to one of the biggest, the biggest industries, agencies, and the entire company, the federal government, like, yes, we want some oversight. We wanna know that these people are showing up,

Starting point is 00:42:47 serving the people, and getting their job done. By the way, good for you, and by the way, watch this here folks. This credit to this chart goes by Tom, okay, if he's watching this, which I'm sure he's watching this. What's up Tom? Hi Tommy. So this is a search in DC on what terms, just in DC,

Starting point is 00:43:04 that have increased since January 29th. Look at that. Defense lawyer skyrocketed. Why? Why? So, watch some of the data that Tom's shown. This is one. The other one is the number of homes that are for sale in DC.

Starting point is 00:43:19 That's a complete different chart. Ever since they realized these guys are coming and people are getting fired, the number of homes for sale in DC has skyrocketed. The decision makers are here, folks in DC are making decisions, realizing they may be losing their jobs, they may have to go to a different place, and the numbers are reflecting that. Adam? Yeah, we're acting like this is some sort of monumental, colossal request to report what you've done. You know who does this? I do this every single week with my assistant. So you know, the company that I run welcome funds Alex every week, Mondays and Fridays, I say, what are you doing this week? She knows

Starting point is 00:43:56 every Monday have report what's on your agenda this week. And then on Friday we go over the list and see what got done. And she does it every week because she's that's part of her job Imagine if she's like, well, why do you want to know what I'm doing? Because I'm paying you. Well, what does that matter? Because that's your job never once would she request like this So anyone who pushes back and it's like what why would you want to even know what I'm doing? It's common sense They're guilty of something. I send them the we have to show it by Senator Rob They're guilty of something. I send them the, we don't have to show it, but I send it to Rob. 2,446 homes went for sale in Washington DC on Zillow, on Just When Trump and Doge K.

Starting point is 00:44:31 That's the charge. Everybody, and they're like 800,000, 400,000, million dollar houses. Everybody's like, bye bye. Now we gotta go. This might be a good opportunity for you to buy a house. Finally. It's going to crash their economy by the way. It's going to crash Virginia's economy by the way. It's gonna crash Virginia's economy, by the way,

Starting point is 00:44:45 because those are the Beltway Bandits. Like, all that NGO, DC money that gets pumped into that. Let's see if they can make it a free enterprise. Let's see if they can make it a free market. Go see if you can make it a free market. You know, it's not an easy thing to do. If you could pull it off, respect to you. If you don't, we found out maybe you're not really

Starting point is 00:44:59 a net positive to society. That's right. The market will pay you whatever value you bring. If you don't have it, it is so brutally honest. It sucks. That's how bad the market is. It has no sympathy for you. Let's find out who you guys are. Maybe you're better than what DC was paying you. And we'll filter those guys out. By the way, while this is taking place, the old Dems are afraid of some of the new faces of Dems. Here's Stephen A. Smith and James Carville. James Carville is tired

Starting point is 00:45:26 of what Stephen A Smith has been saying. And he flat out calls him out. Play that clip Rob if you kid with James Carville and then watch this one here. So Stephen A's been very vocal, calling out Kamala, calling out everybody, calling out everyone on the left and James here he's having a sip of milk or some called beer. And go ahead Rob, play the clip. Get you a warm glass, shut the hell up. He don't know his ass from a hole in the ground. No, go back a little bit. That was Adam, not James.

Starting point is 00:45:51 Go ahead. Toilet paper. Tell the difference. Go ahead. When it comes to politics, he don't know his ass from a hole in the ground. He's running his goddamn mouth about how he may have to run as a Democrat because there's nothing left of the Democratic Party has no talent. Stephen Are you shitting me?

Starting point is 00:46:11 I mean, you say you're friends with Westmore and you say you're friends with Josh Shapiro. I'm friends with both of them. I think they're really extraordinary talented people. I got news for you, dude. That's six or seven other people in the Democratic Party that are just that talented. So before you start running your fucking mouth off about politics, a topic of which you really don't know anything about, you ought to sit back and think about it and call some people and run it by it. But don't let your political stupidity stand in the way of your outspoken and I think

Starting point is 00:46:47 often insightful views when it comes to American sports, of which I think you are an expert at. Okay, now go to Stephen A and his response. Yeah, let Stephen A play. Go for it. Rob, how long is it? I cut out all the fat. This gets right to the portion. OK, go for it. Be so rude. You know, dropping F bombs and going off like that. I mean, I know that's your nature.

Starting point is 00:47:15 I understand that. But let's just say two can do that, you know. I mean, if you really wanted to get raw, ain't nobody hiding from that. I could be that way. It's just that my mama taught me to respect my elders. And you are 80 years of age, if I remember correctly. And I'm trying to be respectful,

Starting point is 00:47:39 so I'm not gonna come at you the way that you came at me. I thought that was completely unnecessary. That's number one. Number two, I religiously say I'm no political aficionado. I religiously say I don't know politics like that. I read, I watch the news, I'm a conscientious observer. But I do have to ask you a question, Mr. James Carville, albeit rhetorically.

Starting point is 00:48:08 You do know that you're talking to a voter, right? Could that be one of the reasons why y'all lost? Just a thought. Because you sound like one of those old curmudgeonents That want things to stay the or be the way that they used to be and you're resentful harboring an abundance of animosity Because You're not being heard That's not Stephen a Smith's fault, sir

Starting point is 00:48:41 That's that damn Democratic Party that I was talking about So now Stephen a were you how far are you gonna go with you see they shouldn't listen to me It's fault, sir. That's that damn Democratic Party that I was talking about. So now Stephen A, how far are you gonna go with this? You see, they shouldn't listen to me. Do you realize, James Carville, that that means they shouldn't have listened to you either? Which makes no sense, because we were both right. Because guess what?

Starting point is 00:48:56 What I was saying is what you were saying. I saw you on Fox News. I saw you on CNN. I saw you on your podcast before the election where the hell you think I got some of the stuff from when you were talking about the Democratic Party I'm making that up you can pause it right I'm making all right so Stephen egg they don't like you it's that simple bro they don't like you the same way they don't like RFK who's down on Trump's administration. The same way they didn't like Tulsi.

Starting point is 00:49:35 The same way they don't like Rogan. The same way they don't like Musk. The same way they don't like any of us. Because either you get in line or shut the hell up is what he's saying. I wouldn't say that to you. That's what he's saying. And that's not in your nature.

Starting point is 00:49:56 But if you're going to shine in that party, you have to lock it up and listen to what they got to tell you. And it's not in your DNA. It's just not. That's not in your DNA. It's just not. That's not in your DNA. So what are you going to do? Create a new community that's been tried. They don't like your type.

Starting point is 00:50:14 So you have a couple choices. One, try to fight it and see what they do. You're not going to get their money. You're not. You need the money. You're not going to get their money. You're not. You need the money. You're not going to get their money. You don't have that kind of money. You need billions.

Starting point is 00:50:29 You need a billion and a half. They're not going to give you the money. None of those guys are going to support you financially. They're not. Because the candidates on the left are usually bought by someone with favors. Yesterday I had Nicolas Ferreira here from Brazil. And he's talking about how this guy named Cassap, Gilberto Cassap, who is the leader of the worker party in Brazil who used to be the mayor of São Paulo,

Starting point is 00:50:52 who is the most powerful man in Brazil right now because he is the leader of the political party that's on the center. And the center means that you give them money and favors, they'll do anything you want them to do, but they have a lot of control. Right now they have a lot of control. He says, my worry is the closer he gets to Bolsonaro. He's gonna ask for a favor

Starting point is 00:51:06 I wonder how big that favor is and how dirty that favor is that it, you know contradicts our values and principles Are you gonna do that? I don't know if you will So, you know what's gonna happen to you. You're eventually when you're in your room in your house by yourself. Nobody else around you You're eventually gonna be talking to your mom because I know how much she means to you and having a conversation saying, what do I do mom? Do I sit this one out? Do I trust my gut and go? What do I do?

Starting point is 00:51:33 If you came as a center-right candidate, which I think where you are, you know you are, you're not going to say publicly, but you know what I'm saying? You're like a center-right guy, dude. You know what I'm saying? If you came out as a center-right guy, I think it'd be interesting to see you run in 2028 and see what happens So I think if you run on the left, they will Destroy you because they do not like your type They like Biden type

Starting point is 00:51:59 They like the yes, man, you ain't that guy. So what are you gonna do? You're gonna keep playing this? You're working your way into being a conservative here very soon, because you're showing a lot of conservative tendencies, you are. But I know the fear of what could happen if you do something like that. Anyways, that's my thoughts on this. James Carville going after,

Starting point is 00:52:18 this is kind of like when a young guy, because Stephen Hayes is young in politics, and James is 80 years old. It's when a young guy comes up in business and I was coming up and I would start getting vocal and all this stuff and I never forget when I wrote a, you ever hear me talk about when I wrote my Jerry Maguire 16 page, 16 points whatever, one of my old friends, I've been trying to look for this proposal that I wrote for 15 years. Remember me and you were walking and I think you found it.

Starting point is 00:52:43 I told you the story. It was amazing. That's right. walking and I think you found it. I told you the story. It was amazing. That's right. You found it. Dude, last week an old friend, whose name I will keep to myself, but you all know who he is, sent me this letter that I wrote to him. That's it? Look, this is the letter I sent him March 15th, right?

Starting point is 00:52:59 But he added the proposal, the entire proposal I wrote, as a young buck coming up. Do you know what happened when I wrote this? And all the points and ideas? Everybody, who do you think you are? And da-da-da-da-da, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, some lady named Susan, all these people losing their minds. I said, okay, this is what you want to, I never, I never wanted to leave. I never wanted to leave.

Starting point is 00:53:20 Never. I love the company, I love the people. That's the same exact thing Steven A is going. He eventually is going to be forced to leave that party. They don't know how to control him. They can't stand him. They can't stand people like him. Cannot stand people like Stephen A. People like Stephen A in the Democratic Party are hated. They're not welcome. Period. Full stop. What are you going to do? And here's my question. Why would he, for instance, let's say down the road, Stephen

Starting point is 00:53:44 A, who I admire the guy, I think he's one of the most important and dopest sports analysts and now that he's shifting politics, it's fantastic. But like what would make you even at this point, like go to the Democratic Party to save it for what? Meaning Adam, their core, their base is what? What do you as a Democratic party, what are you offering? Race baiting, divisive, open border, giving money to everybody.

Starting point is 00:54:09 There was no way that he would. If he would, and to try to come in and change the party, you nailed it. There's no way that they would do it. And Carville, can you imagine, this is the beauty about being Democrat on Democrat hate. A white guy sitting there with a beer drunk shit stupid cuss and all that And nobody called him a racist if that was a Republican sitting there talking to a black man like that

Starting point is 00:54:33 It would have been headlines over here It's cool cuz it's James Carvin he votes Democrat But I think Stephen a there's no if he ran a pop of this He would be a breath of fresh air in any political eye. Would people, that's the guy that you would want because you know his heart isn't a good place. You know his mother raised him right, who said that she would actually vote for Trump if she was here.

Starting point is 00:54:53 But that party, bro, that party, I believe, my opinion is done for a very long time, especially with what's happening right now. They're cooked. Yeah. I think he could really re-energize the base. That could be incredible. But to Vinny's point, I definitely don't think that's gonna happen It's reminiscent of like when they're saying oh, we need a Joe Rogan of the left

Starting point is 00:55:10 It's like you had a Joe Rogan of the left His name was Joe Rogan and you ruined that you alienated him just like they're doing to all of these other people Like the saying the left eats themselves is so, so apparent right now. It's bizarre that you hear constant reports of them saying like internally, like we're in full bloom panic mode, the democratic party is a disaster right now. We don't know what to do. We don't know what the next move is. And then they're spitting in the face of somebody who's super charismatic, one of the best spoken

Starting point is 00:55:37 people in the world that wants to be on their side. It's trying to do everything possible to be on their side. But then they go out and criticize them like this. Like you said, like I think that looked racist too too But they don't they never mentioned that and of course But um yeah So like what extent are they willing to go to like they're like how do they expect to fix that if they only are willing to Tolerate people who will just do whatever they say like they they ruin Bernie Sanders He's going against Hillary Clinton

Starting point is 00:55:56 They um like and I always say if Tulsi or RFK ran against Trump they definitely would have won like you guys disagree with that You think if Tulsi ran as a Democrat or if RFK ran as a Democrat on the ticket against Trump, they definitely would have won. Like, do you guys disagree with that? You think if- If Tulsi ran as a Democrat or if RFK ran as a Democrat on the ticket against Trump, I think they, either of them would have beat Trump. I don't know, if anybody would have won in the party at this point. Well, hold up, but I think if it started earlier, before the Biden and all that nonsense,

Starting point is 00:56:16 if she ran, if Tulsi ran, she would give him a run for the money because Trump wouldn't have been able to talk all the crap that he talked about all of them to her. Look at what Kamala is. And she's like, she almost won. Yeah, I mean, she had, yeah, she, well, they put enough money behind her that she could have won.

Starting point is 00:56:32 But if they put that money, a billion dollars, behind Tulsi, Soldier, American, Patriots. Let me ask you this. So who's more loyal to their party values? Are Democrats more loyal to Democrats or Republican more loyal to Democrats? Democrats to Democrats. Okay, so why do you say that? Because no matter what, they are going down with the ship because their ideology and-

Starting point is 00:56:51 It's called vote blue no matter who. No matter who, it's a great one. I mean, when we take a look at what Obama was saying, it seems like the messaging has changed very much. So do you mean like historically or do you mean like right now? No, I'm saying today. Okay, today.

Starting point is 00:57:04 Yeah, Democrats for sure. Because watch this. Okay, today. Oh, Democrat for sure. Because watch this. Okay, so Republicans were known as the party of the war. Right? It was generally was a party. Guess what Trump's like? Nah, we're not doing that. So who do you think you are?

Starting point is 00:57:16 Rinos and McCain's and everybody in the bushes and the Romney's and they hate this guy, right? Nah, I think we can be Republican and not be a party of war. Yeah. Okay, so you know, we and not be a party of war. No, I think this is how it's going to be. Listen, if we are going to get some money out, I think we need to give a refund back to people because we effed up spending their money. So what has happened is Republicans are like, it's actually a better idea.

Starting point is 00:57:46 Can you prove it? I'm open to it. Democrats are like, no, Stephen A, that may be a better idea, but you have to listen to us because we know. And you can't break through in that party. You cannot break through in that party. They're not letting that happen.

Starting point is 00:58:03 The Republicans had a massive breakthrough because they had a guy with a big backbone that stood up against them. And what he had, he had money. He had fame, he had money, he had street smart, he came up in a city filled with gangsters, tough guys, some criminals, guys in real estate that you have to do business with,

Starting point is 00:58:23 that they're gonna try to bully you, put you in your place, and he made it. That develops thick skin. So he has additional resources that, Stephen A has the platform, he's got it, he talks, people talk about it. He doesn't have the resources, the levels that you need to tell the other side, F off, I can do it on my own. He doesn't have that kind of money.

Starting point is 00:58:43 Someone has to back him up. Who? Who knows? But I think the other side will F off, I can do it on my own. He doesn't have that kind of money. Someone has to back him up. Who, who knows? But I think the other side will gladly welcome him and if he came in, you know what would happen? He would still be able to disagree. Meaning he would still say, I don't know if I agree with the president on this, I don't know if I, fool, no problem.

Starting point is 00:58:56 But he would still be welcomed. Rogan doesn't agree with everything. Musk doesn't agree, these guys don't, Bobby Kennedy definitely doesn't agree with everything with Trump. Tulsi doesn't agree with everything with Trump. But guess what? Come on down as long as we're here together We can make this work. We don't have to agree on a hundred percent The left is you have to agree with us on a hundred percent. You can't have people like that

Starting point is 00:59:15 No, you cannot have people like Stephen a shine on that side Adam and I will go to next story I don't see Stephen a becoming a Republican. I do see him being an independent I do think he's shared with us. His mother was more conservative. I know you're saying you can see him Being center, right? I see him being center and I think the Democrats Need more people like Stephen a to bring them back to the center. Like if you're a Democrat, you're the Democratic Party right now You guys need to take a long look in the mirror and be like, who in the hell are we? We are the party of birthing people, not mothers anymore. What the hell? So you talked about it's so hard to break through. It's so hard to break through. Well, Bernie almost did it. And then like,

Starting point is 01:00:01 nah, Bernie, get in line, get in line get in line buddy Trump almost didn't do it but he broke through now I remember in 2016 I remember what the whole conversation of the establishment was the anti establishment and MAGA versus the rhinos they were basically saying if you recall this is the end of the Republican Party this they're done if elect Trump, even if he wins or doesn't win, they are finished. It's so funny. 10 years later, Republican Party, as strong as they've ever been. And the democratic party is in shambles.

Starting point is 01:00:35 So I hope Stephen A Smith gets a seat at the table. I hope he has a such a powerful voice, but you want to lose someone like that? You want to lose a Rogan? You want to lose an Adam Sotnik want to lose a Rogan? You want to lose an Adam Sothek? That's crazy. Sorry guys. Just saying. All right, buddy. Relax. All right. So let me go through a couple of these stories here. Check this one out. Representative Ilhan Omar, the dumbing of the American people has arrived.

Starting point is 01:01:01 How else do you get Trump again? Watch this clip and tell me how you feel. Meaning literally, how do you feel listening to her? Go ahead Rob. These people are just idiots. I really, you know, I'm at the point where it's become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity they are displaying every single day it's frankly embarrassing not just in Congress but as as Americans and the fact that these people are allowed to see just the most ridiculous things

Starting point is 01:01:39 tells you that the the dumbing of the United States has arrived because how else do we get a Trump presidency again? Okay. This is failure to launch failure to connect. This is her basket of deplorables moment. What she doesn't get what she thinks that she's representative of what the Americans

Starting point is 01:01:59 should be. She's representative of progressive values. She's representative of how we should all be inclusive and DEI and Somalian pirates should be running around everywhere in America. No. The American people give a mandate to Trump. How many, how many swing States did Trump lose? Zero. And Trump, did he win or lose the popular vote? One. He won the popular vote. That never happens. So what, again, they need to take a long look in the mirror and be like this is the lady we want representing us First of all, she she literally and it takes a lot. She gets me sick to my stomach. Okay, she hates America She's called she has done this for the complete and total dismantling of police force of the United States. She's ungrateful

Starting point is 01:02:41 She's an entitled Marxist. Okay, and she sympathized with the 9-11 hijackers. Do you guys remember when 9-11 happened? She said the quote, some people did something. She didn't call them extremists, she didn't call them terrorists, 3,000 Americans were murdered, and that's how she chose to describe it, okay. Just some people chose to do something, and she was kind of bragging that in college she took a terrorism, a terrorist class, and she goes, and the professor, when he'd say al-Qaeda and a Hamas, she was proud about it, okay? And she's sitting in Congress

Starting point is 01:03:12 because the system she constantly trashes, okay? She came here as a refugee, she was given the opportunities that most people on Earth could only dream of, and instead of gratitude, she spits on Americans every single chance she gets, okay? She called us idiots and all that crap, which drives me crazy. She's ungrateful, un-American. And lastly, let's not forget, she allegedly, and Tucker, everybody's reported on it, she married Ahmed Nursayed Elmi, her full brother. Married him in 2009.

Starting point is 01:03:40 What do you mean brother? Wait, what? Listen guys, look it up. Snope this Rob real quick. Snope it, she married him and I said allegedly, but everybody's reported on it, married him in 2009. Like a step brother? No, no. Like a brother? No, no.

Starting point is 01:03:58 Let's see this one here. Unfounded, yeah, unfounded. Meaning they don't want you to find it. Go a little lower. 2016 when it looked like the long horse was the chance of becoming the first Somalian Minnesota state represented rumors swirled that she had married her brother in an illegal effort to Facilitate his obtaining US citizenship Omar did win a seat and after two years later was elected Okay, so but so this again allegedly this is but who did she marry? I mean, this is not his name is Ahmed Northside Elmi So ready for this?

Starting point is 01:04:26 Married him in 2009, divorced him in 2017. She married him to break US immigration law and defraud the US. Okay, if this is true, Tom Homan, if you're listening to this podcast, investigate and I hope they both lose their citizenship and you deport both of them, because if that's the fact.

Starting point is 01:04:42 And then look who she's sitting with, Mehdi Ahsan, another anti-American loser who tweeted you, but you showed it last time. Make American planes crash again. Okay. He said that. Did he really show the tweet? If you can't Rob, that's it. And then you know what he said? That's what this guy says. That's what he said. That's a week ago, by the way. This is a week ago. And you know what he says? You know what he tries to do Adam? He's like, you guys- Rooting for America's planes to crash.

Starting point is 01:05:07 And you know what he says? And who employs this guy at this point? What do you mean? Because he was on MSNBC. He got fired. But who is he on now? I think it's independent. It's independent.

Starting point is 01:05:15 And you know what that means? Two people that hate America that are sitting in there, by the way, and then he tried to blame guess what? You guys are racist and you're Islamophobic because of that shit that they're saying these are the people This is the problem with the Democratic Party. These are who you guys have a natural voice representative of Democrats No, these are Democrats and these are the people that but this guy is a lady is now with the guardian since last 12 months Well, Brandon any thoughts on this? Yeah. No, it's just I have no patience for people who clearly hate America I mean if you there's two types of immigrants who come here.

Starting point is 01:05:45 The ones that are deeply thankful for it and love it here, and the ones that have some weird resentment for it and want to see it burned and destroyed. What percentage of Americans listen to what she says and say, I agree with her? Rob, can you go to the clip? Is there a clip of her tweeting it? Because I would like to see if she retweeted that

Starting point is 01:06:01 to see what her audience that agrees with her says. Just go to her Twitter account. Not to the lips of a TikTok, because they're going to agree with the lips of TikTok. Go to her Twitter account and go a little lower. See if she retweeted that. Go lower. No, majority Americans are smart hearted. Now you're changing your script.

Starting point is 01:06:19 Go a little lower. Did she retweet her clip? I don't think she would ever retweet something like that. Go to Mehdi Hassan. See if Mehdi Hassan retweeted that clip. I just want to know what argument people make who agree with the sentiment that both he and her have. Go to Lour, he didn't retweet that video. I don't know why he wouldn't retweet it.

Starting point is 01:06:39 Absolutely not. Oh, there's no way. No, he didn't retweet it. Okay, so then maybe go under the clip of anybody that posted that clip and let's see what the audience is saying. I actually want to know anybody that agrees. Okay, go under, go to that one. There's a few hundred comments.

Starting point is 01:06:57 Go lower, zoom in a little bit so we can see the comments. Okay, Alon wants you to remember as she thinks all Americans are idiots. Okay, whatever, go next. This ungr thinks all Americans are idiots. Okay, whatever go next This ungrateful go next did she forget go next a sitting member of Congress unfortunate that go next she banks a broth, okay Since eradicating Islamophobia is criticism like Islam has never experienced in its okay She's worried about don't let me let me go. She's worried about common sense eradicating Islamophobia. And yes, criticism like Islam has never experienced. Okay, so that's not positive. Go lower.

Starting point is 01:07:30 Trying to see who would agree with what she's saying. Deport this. Deport this. Deport this. So two terrorist sympathizers, this criminally incestuous, obnoxious dimwit. Okay, these two would not have fared well on the Oregon Trail. Deport. Go lower, rob, the beepers go. So I mean, the point here is I'm trying to see who agrees with what she has to say.

Starting point is 01:07:55 Well, this is where the irony comes in, right? Because she's saying that everyone on the right is essentially dumb, but the only people who agree with her argument are people who aren't based in logic at all. They're only people who they've been able to inflame emotionally. Like it's insane that they're calling our side dumb when that's the side that literally told you to not even believe your eyes for like the last four years. You know, that men, it's fair for men to compete in women's sports, that immigrants aren't causing any harm. Meanwhile, all these stories are continuously popping up about women who are having their lives taken in these situations. You know, that we can actually refer to people as Zim, Zur and have it be totally normal that they can have a mandate on language. Like, how are we the side that is dumbed down? It's the iron law of work projection. Anything that

Starting point is 01:08:42 they accuse you of is actually a confession. That's what we're seeing. Well, they're trying to demoralize society. I just sent Rob a chart that shows pride in America by generation. And it's, I think we could turn this around, but it's unfortunate to see that like by generation, there's less and less people that are proud to be American, which I mean, I think that's a lot of that comes from entertainment and education, which I mean, a lot of this money that we're seeing being uncovered now gets pumped into that stuff. So there is this active agenda to try to make people ashamed to be American or make people think that we did something wrong here. So this is what 18 to 34 is blue, 35 to 54 is black, 55 older is gray, extremely proud to be American are the 55 and older, lowest is the generation, very proud, goes to 35, 54, moderately, boom,

Starting point is 01:09:27 not proud at all is all the youngins, 18 to 35, only a little bit proud of the youngins, moderately proud of the youngins. I mean, the pride of not being proud of your country and seeing how it reflects with the youth, this is all you get to blame. You get to blame academia. I wanna go to you get to blame. You get to blame academia. I want to go to the next story here.

Starting point is 01:09:47 You get to blame academia. By the way, next story here. Joy Reid gets fired, okay? And she has a very emotional story about her getting fired. And this one is an interesting one, Rob, but let me just first read this story here. MSNBC cancelled Joy Reid, left the show as Network makes major shakeup. This is a New York Post story. Reid out as part of a major shakeup by New Network president Rebecca Cutler.

Starting point is 01:10:13 According to New York Times, by the way, can you pull up who Rebecca Cutler is? I'm curious to know what her background is. Reid a longtime Trump critic has hosted the slot since 2020 after previously anchoring AM Joy on weekends. MSNBC declined to comment on the cancellation, but a source confirmed the final episode will air this week. the slot since 2020 after previously anchoring AMJoy on weekends. MSMC declined to comment on the cancellation, but a source confirmed the final episode will air this week. The time slot will be taken over by a new panel show featuring Alicia Menendez, Michael

Starting point is 01:10:34 Steele and Simone Sanders Townsend, a former spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris. Reads ratings have plummeted by nearly 50% since former President Donald Trump's election. Victoria Nielsen's media research reporting that MSNBC's primetime audience dropped 53% since November 5th. Reid had recently gone viral for controversial remarks, including telling Trump voters to make your own dinner at Thanksgiving and that should suffer the consequences of your votes. Can you play the clip of her reacting and we'll come back and see who she is? No fair! My body, my choice. Well, here's an alternative thought. Make your own dinner, Maga. Make your own sandwiches. Wipe your own tears. Troll amongst yourselves with Elon and leave us

Starting point is 01:11:18 alone. You got your heart's desire, the president you dreamed of, and worship instead of Jesus. And this time time you didn't even have to storm the Capitol, smash the windows or try to kill police officers or issue death threats to poor workers. See what's his name by voting this time. Congrats. You got your way. And he even got away with breaking the law. Yay. My show had value and that what I was doing had value. And in the end, I'm sorry, I try not to cry on TV. And I take this kind of like me on TV, so I apologize. And then it mattered.

Starting point is 01:12:00 I see Karen is there and she's been texting me as well. And so what I will just say is that in the end, thank you. Rob, can you go back? Uh, cause Rachel Matt, I responded and saying MSMC made a massive mistake, et cetera. Go, go to the new president. I want to know who that is. Go to the new president. There's an article. I just saw something, right? The ruthless something. What's that daily mail article? Yeah. Click on that. The ruthless new MSMC boss who got a joy read just 10 days after taking the job. Okay,

Starting point is 01:12:29 so she called the shot. Rebecca Cutler has officially named Rob Cole. Little Laura can't read it. So Amazon announced Cutler, 45 years old, was officially promoted on Wednesday, February 20. Mark Lazarus, who's the head of Comcast spin-off company, told staff in a memo earlier, go lower. In a short time, Rebecca was the interim president. It would be clear to me that she has big picture strategic view and the right leadership skills to ensure MSNBC, Brandeis, and Lanser. Since taking charge, Cutler has successfully stabilized the network's ratings following

Starting point is 01:12:56 a major post-election decline. The recovery has been largely attributed to the network star anchor, Rachel Maddow, making regular primetime appearances during Trump's first 100 days. Most recently as President Cutler canceled Joey Reid. Also this week network axed another three of its stars showing after Nixon Reid's program who are the other three stars. Go a little lower to see who they have. Katie Fang, Jonathan Caphart and Iman Mohleddin.

Starting point is 01:13:19 I don't know these guys have also been boot. Can you see who that is? So we know who Jonathan Capehart is because apparently he knows. He's a nice young black man. He was the one that cries all the time. Okay, got it. Go back to the story.

Starting point is 01:13:33 Let me see the story. So over the last two years I've had the privilege of go a little lower, go a little lower, go a little lower. Okay, so go to our LinkedIn if you could. Let's go to our LinkedIn to see what our past is, to see if there's actual changes taking place in right there LinkedIn. So let's see what her past is with MSNBC, CNN, oh there you go. It's the same shit.

Starting point is 01:13:51 Okay, go little lore, executive producer, CNN, CNN, what school is it? Columbia. Don't forget about it. It's the same thing. There's nothing that's changing here. And apparently Rachel Maddow was responding, Rob, if you got the Rachel Maddow clip, trying to defend because she is not happy about what they did and she called out MSNBC.

Starting point is 01:14:09 Go ahead. PM hour all the other nights except for Mondays. So that's a big change. And even bigger programming change is at 7pm Eastern where Joy Reid's show, The Reid Out ended tonight. And Joy is not taking a different job in the network. She is leaving the network altogether. And that is very, very, very hard to take.

Starting point is 01:14:33 What's this guy's name? I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. And I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection

Starting point is 01:14:52 and more respect than Joy Reid. I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her, I have so much more to learn from her, I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC. And personally, I think it's aNBC. And it's coming because after this panel, I'll just tell you, she says it was a bad mistake. Mind you, you got a new boss that's making these decisions. You just got a $5 million pay cut this year. And then

Starting point is 01:15:17 she goes on, she says that, you know, and she did the race card. She goes that two non-white hosts are losing their jobs and is making a scene like she basically saying that NBC is freaking racist is what she's insinuating. And then she craps on the network. And I wouldn't be surprised mark my words. She's next. She's going to be next on the chopping block. Because and you would think, you know, I think I tweeted this path a couple days ago when

Starting point is 01:15:41 I was like, and they want to make this change, this shakeup. They wanna do something new, something bold. Guess who they were replacing her with? Simone Sanders Townsend, another race-baiting, anti-American, you wanna make a change, and you go from Joy Reid to her. And I'm not making fun of her appearance, but she's exactly Joy Reid.

Starting point is 01:16:06 And this is again, when it comes to the left and the Democrats, they can't change the tune. They won't do it. No matter what you say, I'm so happy you dissected where she's from. You think that girl's gonna go all bold and bring somebody that actually has another opinion on the other side? No, bro. This is the ship. The ship is sinking and these people have no idea what the hell they're doing and it's going down and they're not gonna change. Period. Well, it's nice to see that. So in contrast to the last election, I remember that like the CNN and MSNBC, their views skyrocketed after Trump won last time because people were watching them doing all the hate and the race baiting and all that.

Starting point is 01:16:43 But seems like a stark contrast this time like it I mean they lost a lot of legitimacy then there's alternative media outlets So I'm glad to see that for one thing that it's not a positive boost for the liberal side of the mainstream media And then to I'm surprised this happened to jury read before Maddox is mad Oh makes like 25 million year for one show jury was only making three million years So if this is about money, I don't know why they don't know about money. That's hot Tom by the way. I love Tom. You know, he's sick. He's sending freaking charge and stats Tom I love you. Look at this the readout television program on MSNBC since Monday, July 20 2020 it's currently the seventh most popular show on MSNBC and

Starting point is 01:17:18 126 overall TV watched by a total number of 778 thousand people point to five percent twenty five percent ratings down minus 16 from yesterday as a daily audience measure meant from February 22 25 look at that look at that number seventh most popular on on MSNBC which means she's the 98th most popular person on TV those spikes look at where those spikes come the assassination attempt and then November. So the only time people are watching are when things dramatically happen. And that's why they then, and you know what? That's why they're pushing this fricking rhetoric all the time. Cause they're hoping they're banking for people

Starting point is 01:17:57 to try to kill the president. They're hoping for collapse. They both, they want the country to fail because it's freaking numbers for them shame on them. Well, I mean, there's a reason they didn't fire Rachel Maddow because she's actually the number one show on their channel. I mean, number one, she's probably be number 50 compared to the shows that are going on with Fox even some of the stuff. Maybe I'm seeing that I don't know.

Starting point is 01:18:19 But the point is, you know, Pat does his big event he does in Vegas every year for his other company, PHP. And there's a phrase that they do. It's called butts in seats. And then you have a whole competition. How many people you're bringing? How many butts in seats? How many bringing?

Starting point is 01:18:33 Who's bringing? I'm going to bring a hundred. I'm going to bring up 200. All right. I'm going to bring 300, bro. You brought four. You said you were going to bring 300. You brought four.

Starting point is 01:18:42 Meanwhile, you got Matt Sipal over here bringing 500,000 people. You brought four buddy. You fired. So here's this lady. She's ranting. She's raving. She's doing this. She's doing that. Nobody's watching you lady. Sorry. That's why she's gone. This guy right here, Rick Maddow, what's his name? Rachel Maddow. She has at least a little bit of pull. She has at least a little bit of leverage because she actually puts butts in seats. And that's how that works. So I can't think of anyone, you help me out here, I can't think of anybody that got fired that didn't draw an audience other than maybe Tucker Carlson. Let me ask you a question.

Starting point is 01:19:18 How much dirt do you think Rachel Maddow has on MSNBC? I think a lot because she wouldn't say that. She wouldn't ever talk like that. The reason why you can talk like that is because she probably holds them hostage. So maybe she's got something that they fear that if they fire her and maybe to give her one day a week for how much money?

Starting point is 01:19:38 25 mil. Can you pull this up to just verify how much Rachel Maddow makes per year? I think it's down to 15. No, I thought it started at 30 and went to 25. I think it's 25. 15. No, I thought started already went to 25 I think it's 25 of what she gets paid there. It is 30 million a year Rachel Maddow is MSNBC's host 30 million a year and she got a five million dollar reduction to 25 million a year just once a week There is no way anybody deserves that kind of pay on MSNBC Without something behind closed doors that we don't know about

Starting point is 01:20:05 MSNBC without something behind closed doors that we don't know about. For the new president to get promoted 12 days ago and they make a big call out firing Joy Reid and you don't defend the new president and you defend the talent, which means you're not defending a company that's paying your payday, that means you're holding them hostage on something that you know. Maybe she knows where the bodies are buried and she pretty much got everything she wanted. And in that contract, in return for 25 a year for once a week, she wrote a probably an agreement to say I will never disclose anything, whatever, whatever, whatever. This is the vibe it gives me because capitalism doesn't work if a person's not, you're paying

Starting point is 01:20:43 this person 25 million a year, okay? Rob, can you pull up and see the biggest sponsors on Rachel Maddow's shows? Who are the top five biggest sponsors on Rachel Maddow's? I'm actually curious to do business research now. Can we just see top sponsors on Rachel Maddow's show? So if she's doing, folks, it's not hard to think about how business works.

Starting point is 01:21:05 If you paid me 25 million a year, but in sponsorship, the show only gets 20 million a year. Would you pay me 25 million a year? Why would you do that? And not only that, for once a week. So imagine how much are, okay Rob, do me a favor. Go type in rate card for Rachel Maddow's sheets to do commercials on. Rate card for Rachel Maddow's, to do commercials on. Rate card for Rachel Maddow's, you know, rate card for doing ads.

Starting point is 01:21:29 Or CPM. She gets two million views per show, by the way. It's okay, totally fine, but it's once a week. So let's go to what the advertising rate card is. Can you pull up how much it is for me to do, go specifically to Rachel Maddow, go lower. Okay, now I gotta find out here. What is it cost?

Starting point is 01:21:44 Can you guys, each of you guys, see if you can find something? Everybody do their own kind of research, see what you can find. You're going to chat, GBT? I wanna know, what is it cost to do a 30-second commercial on Rachel Maddow's show? How much does that spot cost? Is it 10 grand? Is it 50 grand? Is it 100 grand?

Starting point is 01:22:01 Let's do the math backwards. How much does it cost? According to, okay, 30 seconds, approximately $4,500. Okay, so in 2017, it was $4,500. And how many viewers was she getting back then? What was her viewership back then? Okay, let's say it's 10 grand today for 30 seconds. Let's just do that.

Starting point is 01:22:22 How long is Rachel Maddow's show once a week? How long is the show once a week? One hour. One hour, okay. So in a one hour show, it's normally how many minutes of ad in a one hour show? Is this chick really getting paid 25 minutes for one week? How many minutes is ads

Starting point is 01:22:41 in a one hour show? Is it 24 minutes? 14 to 18 minutes. Let's go to 18 minutes is ads, okay? hour show. Is it 24 minutes? 14 to 18 minutes. Let's go to 18 minutes is ads, okay? Let's do the math. So let's say 15 minutes. 15 minutes times 20, which is because it's 10,000 per 30 second commercial,

Starting point is 01:23:00 so it's 20,000 for a minute. That's 300,000. 300,000 per show. She,000 for a minute. That's $300,000. $300,000 per show. She does four shows a month. That's $1.2 million. $1.2 million times 12 months in a year. That's $14.5 million. Say it's $15 million.

Starting point is 01:23:19 You mean to tell me I'm collecting $15 million in sponsorship and then paying you $25 million, and that doesn't include the producer, the executive producer, the cameras, the network, the ads, all the networking stuff. You really think that's going on? I think some is going on in there. The math doesn't make any sense. What are we talking about here? Tank ran a commercial for 30 seconds slot times 15 minutes times 52 episodes per year. That doesn't make any sense. MSNBC, in my

Starting point is 01:23:49 opinion, is held hostage by Rachel Maddow because they feel she has something on them and they gave a Godfather contract for somebody that needs to be replaced and MSNBC is about to be dying. By the way, I'm giving you this based on on my opinion I don't have any insider information purely, but it sounds like because can you check if she genuinely just does a show once a week? It's once a week and yeah, it says it right here Here's the math 60 minutes. Yeah once a week And this is the math if she gets 25 million a year for one hour a week that means she makes four hundred and eighty thousand dollars per every hour for one hour. 2008 Rob.

Starting point is 01:24:27 Down here it says the episode dates, but it's looking like she's doing every night. So maybe it's a one hour show. Go back to see if it's once a week or every night. She was doing a one hour show every night for many, many years and then she took a hiatus I think. So I don't know this whole one week. Go to the contract.

Starting point is 01:24:44 I think Jon Stewart's on the John Stewart's go to the contract Is it once a week does? Rachel Maddow only Only well regardless it's five hours a week once a week we establish that they want to listen to her. Oh my god No, Richard matter shows are because it comes in Her oh my god No rich matter shows up to come sir

Starting point is 01:25:04 It was once a week now. It's for no longer stretches It's typically not once a week, but rather for longer stretches like a few days. Okay a week So she's coming in when she does take a break Okay, because if it's five days a week, and it's two million views per then economically it makes sense If it's not five days a week, it's once a week, the math doesn't make any sense. The sponsorship money doesn't add up. She does it every day, two million, you're saying Rob, that's how many eyeballs she gets? Yes. Well, I could say it makes sense. How old is she by the way?

Starting point is 01:25:39 Can you type up how old Rachel Maddow is? Probably in 51 who's the highest paid person on TV who's the highest paid person on TV anchor on TV type an anchor on TV who's a high Sean Hannity at 40 million a year he made Sean Hannity and do they have the top five to see where everybody is so Rachel Rachel second, 30. And who's next after Rachel? Cooper, 20 to 25. Stepanavolis, 10 to 18. Robin, 10 to 18. Gale King, 10 to 18.

Starting point is 01:26:13 Savannah Guthrie, 10 to 18. Interesting. It's a pretty wide range right here. It's all based on the amount of money they can make running Gats. If it makes sense, you do it. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Obviously with Joy Reid, the money wasn't making sense.

Starting point is 01:26:27 They had to replace her. She's their number one person, and it's not even close. Beyond that, I think Lawrence O'Donnell, they got Chris Hayes, the beta guy, they got Ari Melber, the rapping lawyer, but she's the face of MSNBC. What else are they gonna do? The next person below her is half her views,hip Lawrence or don't let me go to next story

Starting point is 01:26:48 He was 80 years old. Let me go to the next story here next story here Something's going on between Tucker and Dan Crenshaw Rob played a clip with Dan Crenshaw a little bit awkward He's doing an interview with a guy and then all of a sudden, you know Would GBN they're talking and he whispers something about Tucker if he was to run into him. Go ahead Rob. Have you ever met Tucker? What did he say? If I ever meet him, I think I'll kill him. No joke. So let me ask you who leaked this clip?

Starting point is 01:27:24 This looks like a direct angle of the camera. I think kill him, no joke. So let me ask you, who leaked this clip? This looks like a direct angle of the camera. So then this is GBN leaked this clip. Or someone at GBN. Or at GBN. By the way, the whoever that's at GBN that was behind it, if the guy didn't get fired, then it's GBN. Because if somebody leaked the clip here

Starting point is 01:27:43 without my permission, and if they have a job and you leak this, you don't have a job. So that means GBN approved a clip like this being leaked or was okay with it being leaked because it was publicity getting it out there. So if you ever do an interview with GBN, make sure you don't talk while the camera isn't on nothing just say all the best whatever because now Tucker responds back to this Rob if you can pull up what is that right there you got is this is this is possibly why Dan Crenshaw said that he wanted to kill Tucker Carlson so I mean Dan Crenshaw

Starting point is 01:28:19 obviously is not emotionally prepared to lead anything and You know, he's out of control. He's out of control and I think that he's a really volatile person. I I hope he gets help I mean that and But you know, he's also a pretty sinister person I would say whose priorities are not aligned with the party's voters, but also a pretty nothing to do with the United States, right I You know, I object I feel I'm being want to be honest I feel sorry for Dan Crenshaw if I conflict with Dan Crenshaw, I felt like he was emotionally out of control and So I feel sorry for him, but I also think it's not just him It's a lot of leadership of that party

Starting point is 01:28:58 Just doesn't put the United States first at all and you know, they all want to suck up to Trump and America first really where's the money going it's not going here it's going to the country so this is what he's reacting to and Tucker responds on a tweet right Rob if you can go to that are calling out Trump right here no no no no no no no that aren't part of Maga. Tucker's calling out people from the rhino side and the establishment Republicans that are trying to kiss up to Trump and saying but where does the money go to? That's what he's saying. Go little lorks.

Starting point is 01:29:28 I thought there was a tweet by him saying, go little lork, go little lork, go little lork. Apparently it's not up there. Okay. So if you find it, there was something where he said, I would love to have you on, I would love to have you on, I thought I saw a response. I thought I saw a response by Tucker. Tucker said, if you want to debate,

Starting point is 01:29:50 right, if you want to talk about it. Yeah, if you want to do it right here, I'll send you my address. Something like that is what he said. So, Vinny, what are your thoughts on this? Well, first of all, and me and Brandon were talking about this before the show started, like Dan Crenshaw.

Starting point is 01:30:02 Is that the one, let me see it? Yep. Why don't you come and sit for an interview and we'll see how you do. I'll send you my address, okay? This is a response. And then, Elon said, why is Crenshaw homicidal regarding Tucker?

Starting point is 01:30:16 Okay, go ahead, Vinny. Yeah, so, okay, and I know some people are gonna get pissed off, and as a veteran, as a veteran, this has nothing to do with his service. He served as, I think SEAL Team 3, an IED blew up, to get pissed off and as a veteran, as a veteran, this has nothing to do with his service. He served as, I think SEAL Team 3, an IED blew up. I want to say Bahrain, don't quote me on it, but his eye, you know, he's blinded, he has to wear a patch.

Starting point is 01:30:35 The other one was in bad shape, but they fixed it and you can see. All that aside, you have to understand, like there's a difference between Republicans from Dan and Tucker. Tucker is America first. You guys know that guy? He loves his country, his backbone is in this country. People like Dan Crenshaw, they support, they're the guys that will wear the Ukraine patch. They're about sending the money.

Starting point is 01:30:57 What did he call him? He called him I-Patch McCain. He called him I-Patch McCain. Tucker called Dan Crenshaw eye patch McCain. Tucker called him eye patch McCain and he questioned his credibility while Tucker, well he called Tucker a click chaser and a cowardly know nothing elitist. But I think this is the Republican party

Starting point is 01:31:15 that's fighting each other because one is a populist, media driven America first, and the other one is the establishment that we always talk about. And it's like that's the changing of the guard. The people want more of Tucker. And this is where that beef comes from. And there's been a lot, I mean,

Starting point is 01:31:30 he was going through it for a while. And I forgot who reported on the unusuals, where there's a lot of questions about the investing and insider trading and all that type of stuff because the investments that he said that he was making, I think, I wanna say he's worth $4.4 million now and he was getting furious online because people were apparently calling him up for his stuff. But I think if they sit down with Tucker, Tucker will eat him alive.

Starting point is 01:31:55 Brandon. Yeah. So yeah, just when you listen to somebody speak, I look at their energy and their vibe a lot and just really the way he speaks, the smugness the the condescending way that he says things Just that alone. I don't like from the beginning that was already a red flag But then like the things that he supports like leaving he said like he's the first one to come out and support funding the military first one to come out and Like an endorse Ukraine, so I don't I don't think that he says what he actually thinks

Starting point is 01:32:21 I think that he's one of those guys that's being told what said I think he's bitter about things I think he's trying to chase money because of things and yeah I don't think he actually says what he thinks so I can't respect somebody like that Yeah, I don't know too much about this guy But to say that Tucker Carlson is the worst person ever I mean that just blatantly proves that he doesn't know what he's doing I mean, it's really difficult to hate Tucker Carlson even from the other side. He's just like a very cheerful Happy girl lucky person right worst person ever I mean hate Tucker Carlson even from the other side who's just like a very cheerful, happy, girl-lucky person, right?

Starting point is 01:32:46 Worst person ever. I mean, no. I don't know. I think there's a lot of people out there that would like to punch Tucker Carlson in the face. Not me. I'm just saying a lot of people would. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:32:56 Well, listen, we'll see what happened here. What I like is the fact that the debates taking place now it's on Dan Crenshaw to go out there and sit down with Tucker. There's also things going on between Tucker and Ben, where there is the Ben camp, there is the Tucker camp, there is the establishment camp, there is the DeSantis camp that's still not happy about what happened with Trump, there is the MAGA camp, then there is the fractions of the MAGA camp that are all fighting each other. But guess what?

Starting point is 01:33:23 They're all still on the same side. That's the part, okay, that they're trying to fight and argue, and the policies at the top that are winning are the policies that Trump has. The Republicans are saying, look man, you guys are great and whatever you're doing and whoever you're speaking on behalf of, the ideas we support are the ideas that Trump's put up there for us. We're supporting what he has to say. And so that's what I noticed going on within here.

Starting point is 01:33:47 Next, JFK assassination task force to reveal finding on UFOs Area 51 and pledges Americans will get the truth. Rob, if you got this clip to play, go for it right here. Go ahead. Well, we're trying to do what I think just about every American wants, and that's to force the government to be more transparent with the American people. There are lots of questions we have about, you know, everything ranging from the JFK assassination to whether or not the government has any knowledge of UFOs that has been concealed. And one of the things that Tucker Carlson said that I don't know that I agree with, he may be

Starting point is 01:34:35 right, but I don't know when he says the CIA directors knew. I don't know. I don't know if these deep state bureaucrats even tell their superiors because they have the attitude that superiors come and go. There'll be a Republican administration, there'll be a Democrat administration. And they may know, but I believe that in these deep state agencies. The question becomes, what was supposed to be released

Starting point is 01:34:58 just this Saturday that wasn't? We were, I mean, we've been promised since Trump's first This is James Colmer by the way this is James Colmer and and this is what we've been promised Pat JFK because who was who was the Luna the the really attractive? said I've seen them and I She thinks that there's two shooters Pan Bondi's like the stuff is sitting on my desk She thinks that there's two shooters. Pan Bondi's like, the stuff is sitting on my desk. Kasperzell said on day one, I'm going to X, Y, and Z.

Starting point is 01:35:28 Okay, then you have him standing here, and he's saying, we're gonna have to force the government. You are the government, okay? You guys have the House, you have the Senate. We are promised all these things. We've been on you guys for this entire time. We've been supporting you the entire time. Enough of this waiting bullshit. And to be honest with with you it's not as if we don't know

Starting point is 01:35:48 that JFK at this point there was multiple shooters at this point it's not even a secret anymore that multiple people were involved grassy know that what's his name was working with Russia all the stuff is adding up everybody's dead what are we waiting for just tell tell us what? The CIA was involved. So what's gonna happen? We're gonna debauch the CIA? Nobody's gonna be held accountable, okay? And the Epstein List, it is kinda weird though

Starting point is 01:36:12 that we're promised it and now that everybody's in, now we just have to sit and wait. Because, and when Pam Bondi said, it's sitting on my desk, you have to do it for review. Hold on a second. Unless it's people that you're cool with, that you don't wanna get in trouble, we deserve to see it

Starting point is 01:36:25 Sorry, I'm just knocking over yourself Vinny. I'm so sorry Okay, bro. No, I'm okay. You're fired up. You know you see She finished it sound like an angry page Almost as if I was drinking You're right, it feels like we're slow walking this thing like I mean like how what does it do? I don't know I maybe like Elon said the other day when they were interviewing him and Trump, he said that a lot of the time Trump will do an executive order and then it won't actually happen because

Starting point is 01:36:51 the people who are responsible for executing it slow walk it or there's people that are behind the scenes or lower down the totem pole that end up not doing extreme the things for whatever reason. So I don't know, like what's so difficult about just make it posting the files of the JFK thing making it public But like posting the PDF like that. This was a little three weeks 70 years Was a eight pages or something that the 9-eleven that would blow like enough of this waiting BS. We are in charge now Okay, let me see it that would blow, like enough of this waiting BS. We are in charge now, okay?

Starting point is 01:37:25 Let me see it. Hold on, let me, let me. You've been ranting about this. This is like seven times. You've been ranting about it. Let him go. And I'm just calmly waiting for me to talk. Let's see the next time someone interrupts me.

Starting point is 01:37:35 Go ahead Vinny, keep ranting, go. No, you just did it seven times, go ahead. Literally, and I just kept my mouth shut. It's like the 9-11. I need to fight afterwards, by the way. Let's go. We got it, we're doing the middle. There's three of the main things that all these people that they call us kooks want to finally know

Starting point is 01:37:49 JFK which is one of the worst Moments in the history of this country that they killed they assassinated and they the biggest form of treason They murdered a sitting president because he didn't want to go to war. Okay. He wanted withdrawing wanted to Splinter the CIA into a what a million pieces or whatever the hell he said. Then the second one, 9-11, there's nine documents that you guys are holding that we can't see. What are you hiding it for? Is it Saudis involvement?

Starting point is 01:38:13 Is it our involvement? Did Bush and all them know? And then the third one is 9-11 JFK and then the Epstein. Are you kidding me? Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's brother claims that he's not dead, whatever, but Galeen Maxwell is right now sitting, rotting in a prison, doing 25 years for selling human beings, for little girls. Where are her customers at?

Starting point is 01:38:35 Where are all the people that abused, potentially raped, and maybe even killed because nobody knew what the hell was going on on this island and nobody wants to know and we have the list, release everything. And if Trump was on it, I get messages people are like, well maybe it's because Trump is on it. I go, if Trump was on that list and he was at that island, you would have heard about this shit before Russia collusion. Way before Russia collusion. Why is this not being released?

Starting point is 01:38:57 I think they keep saying, why is it not being released? I think some of their friends are on that list and some of their friends behind closed doors are like, hey, listen, just please, just as long as you can, just say that it's, I think some of their friends are on that list and some of their friends behind closed doors like hey listen Just please just as long as you just say that it's there's no give me another explanation I get that with Epstein. Yeah, I don't get that with Kennedy. I don't get that with the other ones I think it's a matter of like there's this saying that time either promotes you or exposes you and Throughout the period of the last couple of years, so many conspiracy theorists have been vindicated.

Starting point is 01:39:29 The conspiracy theorists have been right all along about so many things. So I think when it comes down to these very, very important classified documents, like this is the last kind of grips on the narrative that they have. They're fearful that once that paradigm is broken for people and they realize that maybe the CIA was involved or the narrative was not what they were told What's gonna happen? Will it be the collapse of society or at least the collapse of their grips on society? Because they're gonna realize once again the conspiracy theorists are vindicated

Starting point is 01:39:59 Look, I think it was Glenn back I think it was Glenn Beck. I just want to say that aliens. So that means I'll just start ranting and raving and turning red. I'm making a fucking guy. Go ahead. Here's the deal. I think it was Glenn Beck that said two weeks ago, I guarantee you within the next 10 days, they're going to release the Epstein files. I think he said a guarantee. He said 10 days. I want to say guarantee. It's been how many days Glenn Beck, our friend. It's been 14, 14. Okay. But since he said, no, it says cash gets in when cash gets in, which was last Friday, last Friday, no, last Thursday he was confirmed. So how many days is it?

Starting point is 01:40:51 Business days to tick talk guys. Yeah clocks ticking. Yeah, so we're gonna see what happens there You guys sound like stubborn children. It's been 62 years. I need it right now. Relax guy No, I don't know just got in. I would you how many Celsius is be drawn? I haven't had any but when somebody's all over this somebody says on day one He said on day one Adam I am about promises being kept and accountability also said that he'd end the Ukraine-Russia war on day one But he hasn't even gotten his office yet. I don't give a shit. You're gonna do it. I want Pam Bondi's desk Okay, she has it. All right What are we waiting for? Keep that same energy when you meet Pam Bondi and you meet Cash Patel

Starting point is 01:41:23 I mean all of them. Right to their face. If I meet them and they haven't released it, trust me they're going to hear it because the real supporters that have been with that whole group for nine years, we want what we were promised, plain and simple. It's important to keep the pressure on too because how fast the news cycle is moving, if we don't keep the pressure on every day then people forget about it and the pressure gets later and later so we can't let up on it.

Starting point is 01:41:45 All right, let's go to this next one here, Rob. So listen, so while in New York, something very interesting happens. This guy who is funny as hell walks up on Alec Baldwin. I don't know if you've seen this or not. This guy is just so talented. And I'm sure if you're Alec Baldwin, obnoxious, would qualify him.

Starting point is 01:42:08 But Jason Scoob stands up to Alec Baldwin and is calling him out and is getting on his last nerve. But he gives him a compliment at the end, comparing him to Bobby Robert De Niro. You have to see this. Go ahead and play this clip. So at least he gave him a compliment. You gotta respect that.

Starting point is 01:42:23 Go ahead. Alec, it's your favorite round. Alec I will offer you a total pardon because I want to be friends. I will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman. If you kiss the ring kiss the ring Alec kiss the big beautiful ring come on Alec come on look at Ale right? He did that impersonation of me, it was not too hot. Not too good. But look, we're back in office, you lost, Kamala lost, she's somewhere getting intoxicated. Look at that suitcase, unbelievable. Well Alec, if you don't want that pardon

Starting point is 01:42:59 for murdering that woman in cold blood, you can call it first degree, you can call it whatever you want, but it was not good. You're looking down on me right now, smiling, happy. Thank you for confronting the man who took me out, who killed me. Look at the Uber driver. He's like, just get away.

Starting point is 01:43:16 Listen to what he says, though. You realize, but by the way. No, look at me. I want you to look at me. Sure. You got a camera on me? The ring? No, it's the ring.

Starting point is 01:43:23 But you realize, my kids live in this building, right? But I want you to know something. We love the children. We're doing great deals for the children. You should look after this camera. Okay. I'd snap your fucking neck and have him break your fucking neck right as you go there, don't you?

Starting point is 01:43:34 Okay, all right, Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin, ladies and gentlemen, class act. Believe me, believe me. I want you to get out of here. Okay. No, no, I want you to get out of here. Oh, he's yelling at me. I'm a citizen of this, I was born and raised in New York

Starting point is 01:43:47 City. I love you, Alec. Alec, look, Alec, you don't want to attack your favorite president, Alec. Look, I love you. I love you, Alec. He's got more balls than De Niro. That I can tell you. De Niro ran away. Alec confronted. That's good. He's strong, but also weak because he murdered a woman. So that's good. He's strong, but also weak, because he murdered a woman. So that's okay, right? Oh my God. Yo, Jason, let me explain something to you. Is he the guy who came to...

Starting point is 01:44:14 He was here, he debated me. I remember he said, Patrick Met David, what a guy. No, my favorite is when he says African Americans, he pushes toward, he goes, and I love the African Americans, and he squeezes him. He's really talented. He is so so boy. He doesn't do the old stuff doesn't do the spray He just puts on that his man. He's the he is the best

Starting point is 01:44:32 Donald Trump supporter him or Shane Gillis Shane Gilleson. Yeah, Shane does the whole thing, but he's been doing it So what are your thoughts on this? Oh my god, Jason. No good. I want to know your thoughts I think there's two things that are going on here. Anyway, so listen, but I really You check out Vinny at the comedy club in Turlock, California. Yes 700 cedars sold out. Yeah anyway With your mom your parents are a Syrian family. Yeah, Vinny. I swear to God Vinny you come near me The guy's clearly talented is clearly funny. You gotta go brass balls to show up at a Alec Baldwin's house like that. But at the same time, if this dude showed up in front of my house, if he showed up in

Starting point is 01:45:10 front of Bate Collin, I'd break this guy's neck in two sec. If he was around my family doing stuff like this, I'm actually shocked that Alec Baldwin didn't murder you because there's a big difference between being funny on the street in front of a red carpet appearance. I get it. You're going to show up in front of my house where my kids are and be a tough guy. I actually give Alec Baldwin literal credit for not snapping this guy's neck. He's funny. He's talented. You show up in front of someone's house. You're going to have a problem. Brandon. He was mocking him on TV every day during his presidency. So he brought that upon himself and you know, that's not in front of his house That's on TV. It's even worse. It's in front of the entire world and he was mocking him during sensitive times, too

Starting point is 01:45:55 And it wasn't even a funny mocking. It was like a hateful. I don't know if you understand this that wasn't actually Donald Trump Yeah, there was a camera. Come on make the argument if you just really making fun of Donald Trump. Yeah. There was a car. Come on, make the argument. If you discreetly making fun of Donald Trump, not that guy. So what does that have to guy would do with this? What that he was in front of his house? Yeah. Yeah. So what? He's in the middle of the street. Yeah. If someone showed up at your parents house, your parents through that nice 30th birthday and they start condemning and going in on your parents, I would laugh. Would you dare if they were doing a perfect imitation of really Trump in front of your parents? You're going to chuckle chuckle you're gonna be on his team yeah then you're a pussy or I'm not sensitive no maybe you're over in front of your house

Starting point is 01:46:31 well when you say this is the Manhattan high-rise in the street ball I'm sorry New York is touchable in New York family like he went to his Montana house out on a ranch he's in the show up in front of his house. He's standing in the street. If you saw him at Robert De Niro and a red carpet, that's one thing. Adam, there's an illegal sleeping outside in hotels. Vinny lives at 127. Come to my apartment.

Starting point is 01:46:56 Don't make me dox you. Hey, come to my apartment, but you better be armed and ready to get your ass shot. Because I'm fucking armed to the teeth. Come to my house. Bingo. Bingo. So Alec Baldwin armed to the teeth. Exactly. You house. Bingo. Bingo. So Alec Baldwin armed to the teeth. Oh no, you think a Democrat liberal...

Starting point is 01:47:08 Have you seen the movie Russ? Well yeah, he might... Forget what I said. By the way, what do you think PBD? Someone shows up in front of your house? You guys know, the part is saying you murdered that woman, I'll pardon you, whatever. He did not. Like meaning the story of the setup when you go through it, even guys who can't stand him said this wasn't on him. This was the job of the other

Starting point is 01:47:31 person to kind of check it. Now don't get me wrong, guys like me and Vinny, military background, we naturally know what you have to do and go through it. But the lawyers, when they fought the case and they went through it, this wasn't something that Alec, we had lunch with his lawyer just a couple months ago, not a couple months ago, five weeks ago we had lunch with him, right? That we sat down and we went through it. And this is a lawyer that's also a lawyer of Musk and is a lawyer of a lot of different people. So it's not like he's just a liberal lawyer.

Starting point is 01:47:58 No, having said that, that's one. The other part is, you know, when you, the way this works is in life, is if your business model is mocking others publicly and humiliating them, you can't get upset when they do it to you. You just can't. You're in the ring. That's how it works. When you're in it, you're in it. So you did it, and it's going to come back.

Starting point is 01:48:23 That's kind of how this thing works. You can't expect that. You know how some people are very good at talking shit, but they can't receive it and take it Yeah, listen, man. You've been talking a lot of shit Mm-hmm, and he's giving it to you and for Jason to go there and do it great the other part on the family side I side with Adam on this but it is New York and New York is not Florida New York is concrete very different Model and animal you either choose to live there or you choose not to live there It is disturbing it is uncomfortable

Starting point is 01:48:55 And I'm actually very surprised that he didn't do anything literally if that was done to Vinny you I don't know what you would have done to the guy if he came up to you, if it was done to you. I think you would have also gone upset at the guy because it was, but guess what? Jason won. Meaning that's exactly what this is. Jason won. So he got exactly what he wanted to get that he didn't get from De Niro.

Starting point is 01:49:24 And contrast that with if he didn't react like that then he wouldn't have won. It wouldn't have been as big of a deal. No, no, that's right. And so Jason wanted this and Jason's funny as hell and he keeps doing this and you know but one day the wrong person could do something. You say that to the wrong person, some guy's gonna literally snap your neck. Let me go to the next story here. So guys, I mean if I have to hear one more story about these two dank stories

Starting point is 01:49:45 Well, we can go through because there's a couple stories. I want to go through to give some thoughts on this but insulted Blake Lively blast sexist the Hollywood reporter cover lampooning her Justin Baldoni lawsuit should be ashamed of yourself, right now You know Blake Lively played in a movie that I've watched from the 42nd minute on 50 times. And it's called, what is the name of that movie? What is the name of that movie? Now I've watched this thing so many times.

Starting point is 01:50:17 What is the name of that movie? It's Age of Adeline. I've watched that thing so many times. Thank you, Kelly. Age of Adeline, right? It's such a great movie with Huron, Harrison Ford? It's a phenomenal movie right it about however Let me just read this to you and then Amy I'm coming to you here Blake Lively blasted the Hollywood Reporter for its February 21st cover Rob

Starting point is 01:50:35 Can you pull up whatever the cover is which featured a cartoon mocking her lawsuit against it ends with? Is this it yes ends with? It ends with, is this it? It ends with co-star Justin Baldoni calling it, outrageously insulting and playing into every sexist trope. The illustration depicts Lively using a slingshot to fire a cellphone at Baldoni, referencing her legal team's attempt to subpoena his text messages.

Starting point is 01:50:58 A spokesperson for Lively condemned the magazine, saying the Hollywood Reporter should be ashamed of itself, and criticizing its article for down-plaguing documented examples of sexual harassment and retaliation as cultural misunderstanding. Lively sued Baldoni in December of 2020 for accusing him of sexual harassment on a set and launching a smear campaign against her, while Baldoni counter-sued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation and extortion. On Wednesday, Lively filed an amend law complaint stating she was not alone in raising allegation of

Starting point is 01:51:30 onset misconduct. Amy, what's really going on with this story? Amy- I think why people are so interested in this is because it speaks to a much larger cultural issue. We are seeing the MeToo movement literally die. It's taking its last gasping breaths, but it is about to be dead. So essentially what happened is Justin Baldoni

Starting point is 01:51:48 purchased the rights to the book, it ends with us. He is the producer, director, and one of the lead actors in it. And when he brought on Blake Lively to play his partner, the co-lead, in a movie that is a very heavy topic about domestic violence, she took over every single aspect of the movie.

Starting point is 01:52:07 The movie was really aimed at providing education and insight and relating to the stories of what women go through when they experience DV. She made it a lighthearted thing. She wanted to talk about, oh, wear your florals. And she used it as an opportunity to promote her alcohol brand, which is insane because many people know that alcoholism

Starting point is 01:52:29 really fuels DV as well. So it was completely tone deaf. And as a response to this, she was getting a lot of hate. In fact, people were posting old interviews of her that weren't even really relevant at all to the movie, but they're just highlighting, this is a mean girl. This isn't a good person. And in response to this, what she did was she created a smear campaign against

Starting point is 01:52:51 Boudini stating that actually he was making a smear campaign against her. And that's the reason why she had all of this negative backlash. What have you seen from the text messages? Like what has been revealed? So essentially in her complaint she said things like he walked in on her breastfeeding. She said things like he chastised her for her weight. All of this has been debunked by the text messages provided by Boudoni. She in fact messaged him saying hey I'm breastfeeding right now but come into my trailer let's go ahead and run some lines. One of the other conditions she said, we need to have an intimacy coordinator on set because I'm not comfortable with being close with you

Starting point is 01:53:30 because you're doing all these inappropriate things. He provided a text message showing, hey, I have an intimacy coordinator. I'll get you on a call with her. No, I'm fine, thank you. I don't need to meet with the intimacy coordinator. So essentially every single thing that she's claimed against him has been

Starting point is 01:53:45 disproved. So he was a class act throughout the entire process. That's what it seemed. And he put her on as an executive producer, which I'm not going to buy this guy's like a fem he's a male feminist, which is probably one of his biggest problems. He loves women. He's a male feminist. He loves women. He cares. He's doing all this. And so I mean, real quick, because I'm pretty sure we're kind of all in the same boat. What was that moment, what was her deciding thing to say the hell with you? Because I know that it was the, was it, she kept, for the screening,

Starting point is 01:54:14 she made him and his whole family go down to the basement. Go down to the basement during the premiere of his movie. He literally was not even allowed to be at the premiere of his own movie. Why is that? Because Blake Lively had alienated the entire cast against him. She had convinced everyone that he was this monster, this terrible person, so she could wield

Starting point is 01:54:33 all creative control of the movie and end up getting her final cut of the movie, not Justin Baldoni's. And in the end, that's exactly what happened. He didn't even get to see the final cut of the movie. Get out of here. Because Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds came in with their own team, their own editors. They completely hijacked this thing. And then when there was negative backlash as a result,

Starting point is 01:54:53 they painted all these false allegations against Justin in order to try to get back the power in the narrative. But everyone's seeing through it. They're seeing through the BS. And you know, at the end of the day, they're the ones who are seeking gag orders against Boudini from releasing information Whereas his team is saying nope, let's put out everything every single text message They're showing they have nothing to hide and I just I really love this story because again It speaks to this larger cultural thing of the me to movement is over I don't believe don't believe all women automatically. If there's a larger context to this, I get it.

Starting point is 01:55:27 But this, I literally could care less about this movie, about these people, about anything that we're in America today, inflation, cost of living, people trying to pay rent. There's so many things going on here. Then sit this one out. Hang tight. Hang on a second. There's a lot of people that don't care about this.

Starting point is 01:55:40 Yeah, but sit this one out and just sit on the sidelines and hang tight until the next story comes up and tell us how much you care about it. But with this one here, to me, when I think about what happened with Amber Heard and what was the other guy? Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp. This is such an important story.

Starting point is 01:55:55 I know you don't give a shit about it, but this is such an important story. Because if they would have won against him, a guy whose dream was to be a Hollywood actor, producer, director, they could have crushed his career if they would have won against him a guy whose dream was to be a Hollywood actor, producer, director. They could have crushed his career if they would have won. And they tried to do that. There was actually text messages where they showed that Blake is saying things. I haven't seen Game of Thrones, but she compares herself to Khaleesi. I believe she has dragons.

Starting point is 01:56:19 She's like, I have dragons just like Khaleesi. I have Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift. They were doing everything they could to intimidate this guy who is a much smaller actor than Blake Lively. And you know, not Justin Bodoni, Ryan Reynolds is like the A plus of all Hollywood actors. So yeah, they tried to completely intimidate him. And it's amazing to see that it hasn't worked.

Starting point is 01:56:40 America almost hated Johnny Depp. Yeah. Of course. And by the way, you know what we haven't seen? When's the last time we saw a movie? What was the movie that he was doing? Pirates of the Caribbean. When's the last Pirates of the Caribbean? When's the last Pirates of the Caribbean?

Starting point is 01:56:53 Ten years. Can you tell me when is the last Pirates of the Caribbean? 2017. Eight years ago, right? They'll probably remake it with a black lesbian. Yeah, but we haven't seen it since 2017. Why? And if you look at it closely,

Starting point is 01:57:05 look at the closely how many years it is apart, Rob go back, zoom in a little bit, so three years, one year, then you got four years, six years. Yeah, so this, I don't know what movie Johnny's done the last five, six years. What is the last movie Johnny Depp did? What is the last movie Johnny Depp did?

Starting point is 01:57:23 I don't think he's done anything since. No, he's been playing the guitar and like touring and he hasn't done a movie and God knows how long Right. So he did a bunch of voice work and then he did Louie the 15th anything else with this It's gonna end in court. I'm very excited to see this potentially be live streamed and broadcasted the same way the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial was. So I just really can't wait to see this entire thing play out. You made a good point because he's by the way, he's finished. He's done like in Hollywood, nobody's gonna touch him. So that

Starting point is 01:58:02 person that you're talking about, it's him. His dreams, everything that he's done. And then Amy, can you go back to the editing process? There was text messages where the editor was like, to him. Yeah, they're trying to console him. They're like, I'm so sorry. Like I know this is your project. I'm sorry we can't show you anything. I mean, for him as well, he instantly had his, he had an award for advocating for women,

Starting point is 01:58:24 something in the realm of feminism They rescinded that award his podcoast hurts quit immediately. That was immediate repercussions Before today now it is look at him now and Blake Probably it'll be very difficult for anyone to ever work with Blake lively I think I did they get like not not how big of a black guy did they get? Let me tell you about that story, Pat. What do you mean by that? Like meaning how bad is this on their reputation?

Starting point is 01:58:53 Oh, on their reputation? Oh, terrible, terrible. I mean now other footage is coming out of Blake Lively admitting, hey when I get involved with projects they hire me as the actress and sometimes I don't really tell them but I actually want to come in and I want to rewrite it and I want to be a producer and I want to do all Of these things she's literally admitted all of this blatantly. This is just the first time that it's and how does Blake lively by the way? 30s I believe for how much longer do you think Ryan Reynolds takes a lot of her? I mean another did you guys see what? 37 she's done at 40 did any of you guys see Deadpool Wolverine? Yeah. Yeah So do you remember the scene where he's nice pool and he's saying like, oh she bounced back right after her pregnancy

Starting point is 01:59:35 It's okay. I can say that I'm a feminist. They're literally making fucking Justin Boudini in that scene Yeah, because because she he she made a comment that B Baldoni said she was too heavy for him to lift. That's not true. He simply said, I have a back injury. How much should I train to be able to lift you? Something along those lines. And she made it a complaint about weight and then they actually put it in the Deadpool movies.

Starting point is 02:00:00 I have a back injury. How much do I need to train to lift? Weird comment. Can I just give a quick shout out? back injury how much do I need to drink? I'm a weird man. I butchered that point. Can I just give a quick shout out? Speaking of feminists, it's someone's birthday today. It's Chelsea Handler's 50th birthday today.

Starting point is 02:00:14 Adam's girlfriend! Adam! Did you message her? She's drunk, she's already up. Well let's go to the next story, which is kind of appropriate. So Ashley St. Clair hits Elon Musk with paternity suit, seeks sole custody of five-month-old son, court docs here. Let me see what we got with this one here. So Consul General Ashley St. Clair finds a paternity suit in Manhattan Supreme Court

Starting point is 02:00:36 seeking to legally declare Elon Musk 53 as a father of five-month-old son, requesting sole custody. St. Clair Krim, she and Musk received the child during the January 2024 term at St. Bart's and asked the court to order Musk to take a DNA test. Musk, who has not publicly acknowledged the child, allegedly met him only three times, twice in New York and once in Texas, and has never asked to see the baby nor asked for the photos, including the legal files or text messages and photos of Musk holding the infant with messages that appear to reference the child. So Amy, what do you know about this story? Yeah, so I love that I'm getting all the girly stories.

Starting point is 02:01:11 That's what we want! CMZ! Let's go! I got you with all the goss. So this one, it gets particularly interesting where we see some screenshots released by a woman called Isabel Moody. I'm not sure if you can track those down, Rob. But this is a woman who's actually friends with Ashley St. Clair, and she released text messages going back to 2023, where she actually reached out to Isabel and said, oh my God, Elon just followed me.

Starting point is 02:01:37 Is this post funny? I need to be funny for Elon. I wanna get attention from him because I wanna have his rocket babies, something to that effect. Elon followed me, I need his rocket babies. Something to that effect. Elon followed me. I need his rocket babies. No way. That's awesome.

Starting point is 02:01:48 Looks like I'll take one for the team. So juice Elon, get in a rocket and see what's up. Oh, you must for the good of society. So, I mean, this is a billionaire baby trap. This entire thing was premeditated. And what makes it really bad and just I mean, it's bad in general, it's already really bad, but what makes it so much worse, and really just makes her a hypocrite,

Starting point is 02:02:09 is that she is this, quote unquote, conservative influencer. So she's apparently being this big proponent of, you know, non-degeneracy and monogamous relationships, and not having children out of wedlock. And now this isn't just the first, but now the second child that she's had out of wedlock. So she this isn't just the first, but now the second child that she's had out of wedlock. So she's not consistent with any of her values, number one. And number

Starting point is 02:02:30 two, it seems like this was a baby trap. This was all planned from the very beginning. She made her bed and now she has to lay in it. I have absolutely no empathy or sympathy for her. Elon Musk has made it very clear that he wants to have as many children as possible. He wants to repopulate the earth. So she should not be acting in any way, shape or form as if she is surprised by his response. How much would child support be? How does child support work? I know I have I have friends that have money that pay a ridiculous amount of money. They're not married to child support. If you are with a guy that's worth $500 billion, does it go off of what you make to give the kid? How does that work? That's a good question. He's in the state of...

Starting point is 02:03:13 Think about like how much... It does. It goes by the state. So she's in New York. He's actually based out of Texas, I believe. Okay. Well, what's funny as well is... It'd be go by New York law. So she also stated she made a tweet a couple years ago saying it's so wrong that women alienate

Starting point is 02:03:29 children from their fathers and Elon replied and he said yeah and she replied and said it must stop whoa now she's literally doing that right now what's that that's 2700 per month for for Grimes from Elon that's it I don't know about that well so based on what you're saying, he is the father. That would be crazy. Is that what you're saying? Of Ashley St. Clair's baby. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:03:50 Yeah. It does appear to be. She also leaked signal. That's not a DNA test. This is just he visited and he's there. So based on your opinion, he's the father. Based on my opinion and what I've seen of the screenshots, they could have been doctored screenshots, but they also posted signal messages. You know, those signal messages that delete within

Starting point is 02:04:07 24 hours, what she did was she actually took a picture of the phone of the messages themselves. And you can see them interacting and talking about the the pregnancy and talking about the baby. So unless those were doctored screenshots, what's this, Amy, What's this tweet? If women get the right to abortion, men should have the option to not pay child support. Is this an actual tweet from her? And again, she also tweeted saying it's so wrong to alienate a child from its father, and yet that's exactly what she's doing right now. You're wrong. You're wrong only because he has not admitted he's the father. She's stating that. In order for him to pay child support in order for him to be able to see the child

Starting point is 02:04:52 in order for him to have a be in the child's life, there needs to be one thing. He needs to be the father. If not, he's just a random creepy dude showing up. So they need to establish whether he's the father or not. Period. Secondly, this is on one person and one person only the richest man in the world. So he, she entrapped him. Yeah. There's a get in line for how many other women would like to have a baby with Elon Musk. And by the way, for someone who admittedly would like to have a hundred children, he might show up at 10 women's house tonight. So to act like this is on her, oh my God, her little cute text message got him into bed. Elon Musk, this is on you. I

Starting point is 02:05:31 said this last time. This is on the person with the power, the person with the status, the person with the money, he who pays says, so whether it's Drake and the girl, remember the whole hot sauce condom thing that's on him putting hot sauce in the condom so a woman wouldn't do this. Whether you're an NBA player and you're in your the cleat chasers or Jersey jumpers what they call them the NBA that's on NBA guys not to impregnate Jersey jumpers that's on the richest men in the world. If he doesn't want to have a kid wrap it up.

Starting point is 02:06:01 Now Vinny a condom is something that you use if you don't want to call him. Yeah, a column. So I know that you've never heard of these things, but if you wanted to not impregnate somebody who would use condoms, clearly Elon Musk, using condoms, of course. So when you show up at someone's house and they entrap you, whatever you want to call it, he knows exactly what he's doing. So now he has his legal team dealing with whatever legal ramifications it is. But first and foremost, they need to establish whether he's the father or not. She says that he is the father. What's interesting about-

Starting point is 02:06:32 Because I know someone else that is definitely not the father. What's interesting about these messages, so they order delete after 24 hours and we can see here a conversation that they're having where she's trying to reach out, trying to get him in the kid's life and he's saying, hey, I'm like the number two off to Trump for assassinations. Like I need to keep a low profile right now She's saying I know that's why the father spot on the birth certificate is blank right now e so she's posting all of these But what's interesting is again? She had to take a picture of the screen because when you screenshot you get notified to the other person

Starting point is 02:07:01 So did she have something planned all along? Like why is she taking a picture of text messages that he long clearly girl has something planned all along when they're with the richest man in the world? Why are you acting like that? Oh my God, should I try to have his kid? Yes. If you find if you found yourself in a room with Elon, don't just stand there and have a conversation. Go have a kid with a guy. I don't think Amy like I know her and I'm being dead serious, I don't think Amy's the type of girl that'd be like, Elon Musk, yeah. Thank you, Vinny.

Starting point is 02:07:29 Just have a, go raw dog inside me. I'm not a fan of these more up-and-down relationships. No, no, no, she's not an idiot. Hold on, hold on. Let me tell you something, Vinny. I would have a kid with Elon Musk, if he paid me $50,000. I know it'd be funny, but no, she's not an idiot.

Starting point is 02:07:40 She's not a whore. I don't think money. She has values, and she's not, Adam, and I'm sorry to, I know this is gonna rock your world, not every girl out there is just like, rich guy, no condom, have sex and come inside. No, that's not. Money can buy just about everything except dignity.

Starting point is 02:07:54 Those are girls in that circle that are just looking for, and I'm not hating on her. Listen, I hope that she, I wish she didn't have to be in this situation, but as to say like. But you're acting like it was a one and done thing. They apparently dated for a year. No, that's fine.

Starting point is 02:08:07 What I'm saying is I'm just like, it wasn't like a horror. Yeah, it was they dated. But what do you think they're going to get? Does she think that there's a future? I don't freaking know. The fact that it wasn't just a one and done thing. They dated. I know somebody else.

Starting point is 02:08:21 You know what dating means, right? Yeah. Hold hands. Okay, Pat. It's been a while since Yeah Oh man, all right last story before You just spilt all over me, but this is the last story i've lost my voice I'm trying to recover from where I'm.

Starting point is 02:08:52 Aaron Judge, Yankees, we have to talk about this. Explains why he stained Mr. Clean even after Yankees stunning facial hair reversal. So the Yankees historically have been known as an organization that you have to stay clean cut. By the way, if you can get Hal Steinbrenner's tweet breaking it down saying after 29 years, if you got it there, we'll go through it as well. So Aaron Judge, captain of the New York Yankees, will remain clean shaven despite Hal Steinbrenner

Starting point is 02:09:18 lifting the team's 48 year old, I said 29, 48 year old facial hair band saying this is what I know, this is what I'm used to. Judge who has been shaved since being drafted in 2013 added, I look around the building, look at the old photos, past legends, they all follow that rule so I just try to follow on their path. While he acknowledged being definitely shocked by the policy change, he supported it if it gets us a couple more players that will help

Starting point is 02:09:46 us win games. Judge dismissed the idea that the bandit turf reagents stating, if that little rule is going to stop you from coming here, then you probably shouldn't be here. Good for you. Though Steinbrenner is suggesting some players have been hesitant to join the Yankees because of the policy, Judge said he had not heard too much about guys refusing to sign over. Devin Williams and Carlos Rodin have already announced plans to grow beards, while Judge

Starting point is 02:10:10 Anthony Volpe and Marcus Strowman are sticking with their clean-cut look. So Rob, if you can pull up the Hal Steinbrenner tweet, he puts it out there, go a little bit lower, you'll see maybe it's not that one. Benny, what do you think about this? You're a Yankee, you're a New York guy, what are your thoughts on this story here? You already know, huge Yankee fan. I think Aaron Judge is the epitome of a Yankee, okay? He respects the tradition, that's why they picked him, that's why he's there.

Starting point is 02:10:39 For the pinstripes, for the history of the game, like you said, Steinbrenner's had the rule around, that's what sets us apart from everybody else. We look clean. We don't look like we just came out of a freaking mountain cave. I've seen some beers that are just, it's just the hair. It's just everything is crazy. Judge gets it. He's the face of the franchise. He's the captain of the team. He's supposed to lead by example. And I think that's a positive attitude to have. And I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm pro Aaron. You know how I feel. You know, the best example of this was, remember Johnny Damon before and after

Starting point is 02:11:06 when we went to Red Sox to Yankees? That's the best contrast of what it's like with and without this. He had the long hair, the crazy beard, and it's night and day. I'm a Yankees fan too, and it's like there's always been a cut above in terms of respectability, in terms of the uniforms and everything.

Starting point is 02:11:20 That's it, that's what you're talking about. Yeah, exactly, exactly. What would you rather have? What's more respectable? I want the clean cut guy on the right. If the guy on the left wins. Yeah, that's what you're talking about. Yeah, exactly. What would you rather have? What's more respectable? I want the clean cut guy on the right. Yeah. If the guy on the left wins. Yeah, that's what you want.

Starting point is 02:11:29 Adam. I think it's BS. I'll tell you why. You're thinking this is what the Yankees stand for. No, what the Yankees stand for is the highest payroll in baseball every single year. I think Don Mattingly, who was literally Mr. Baseball, had a mustache. Can I see that mustache, Rod? Yeah, that's the rule, though. It can't go past your... Oh, so the, so the rule is you can grow an Adolf Hitler

Starting point is 02:11:50 mustache. That's it. Don't have a mustache. You can have a mustache as a Yankee. You just sure Reggie Jackson had a mustache. So you can have a mustache. That looks like a pretty handlebar. Yeah, but he shaved. So let me have a Hitler. So, so let me, how far can you go down? What's the rule? Since this is military and fire department. So where can you go? Right about here. Side mouth, a barber Reno side of your mouth. So no go team, no go team, but you can have a little dirty Sanchez. Yeah. Anyway, I think it's ridiculous. I think why is it ridiculous? The owner of the team. That's, that's his culture. That's the team. That's the, that's great great That's fine. So why do they have to change? Why is it ridiculous?

Starting point is 02:12:27 Keep it the way that by the way the most winning is 26 championships. I think it I think it worked at him I don't know. I might be crazy a lot of that when there was a Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig and also that other little thing no black people in the league. No, what do you mean? I don't think I experienced four of them. I experienced four World Series. I lived through four World Series. Everybody was clean. Derrick Jeter was clean. Yeah, Dom Manley had the handlebar. Let me ask you a question. What's on your face right now? What? You're stupid looking face. What's on your face? I'm not playing baseball. Exactly. I'm on the PB podcast and I'm in Syria and I'm Middle East and I got a rock. But can you do your job? Yeah, you can do okay. That's not the point. The point is no, it doesn't make a difference.

Starting point is 02:13:03 I want to hear Pat's. Yeah. So only in is no, it doesn't make a difference. That's not how this works. I wanna hear Pat's. Yeah, to me. So only in baseball is where you can't have a beard? Yeah, let's do this and let's wrap it up because Adam needs a break today. He needs a break. Relax. I got my garchook coming my way. You gotta have garchokes.

Starting point is 02:13:16 By the way, I don't know how many garchokes you got, but you need a lot of them. So the Yankees, Steinbrenner, he buys the Yankees in 73. So the Yankees, Steinbrenner, he buys the Yankees in 73. The new appearance rules for the Yankees takes place in 76. And it's there almost 50 years, and then Hal changes it. Now, to be fair to Hal versus George, Hal is not George. That policy only works based on the man who's setting that standard and expectation and doesn't compromise. Which is who? George. George put that standard. How many World Series

Starting point is 02:13:52 that the Yankees win since 1976? That's what I want to know. How many World Series have the Yankees won? How many World Series have the Yankees won since 1970? Put 73 because they won it in 73. So they've won five. Okay, one two three four five. Yeah, I thought it would have been more as well but they've won five. Okay, total they won 27. Okay, but since the 1973 they've won five the last time they won We Yankees 27 titles well, let's see that one two three four five six seven is it seven so why is the same? Nineteen so you know we won the World Series five times here in a few years they won so I'm looking at 77 I'm saying 73 Chad GBT just told me 77 78 96 98 Chad GBT just told me 77, 78, 96, 98, it's missing 99 here and it's missing 2000.

Starting point is 02:14:50 So Chad GBT's actually off. They won four or five? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So they've won seven. But they haven't won in 15 years. Since 77. So that's 47 years, 48 years they've won seven. All right, but they haven't won one in 16 years

Starting point is 02:15:05 I don't know I think those types of standards works if The guy who has a strong personality with those standards is still around that's what I think it works and George was one of a kind and Guess what he passed the business over to his son Hal has been running it how gets to call call the shots right the way he wants. And sometimes when somebody's son comes in or daughter comes in and they're leading, they get to make certain adjustments. That's just kind of how it works.

Starting point is 02:15:34 Jerry Buss wouldn't have given Kobe the two-year $48 million contract that he got when it was averaging 35% fuel goal percentage. Jerry would have never given that contract. Jerry would have said to walk. But guess what? Genie gave the two-year, $48 million contract to Kobe Bryant. And Genie is in Jerry. And Jerry won how many championships while he was running it during the 33 years?

Starting point is 02:15:55 Ten? Guys, Jerry Buss was possibly the greatest owner of all time in sports. Won ten championships in 33 years of owning a team. Think about it. When Shaq came up to him one time and Shaq's like, hey, Miami Heat wants to pay me this. He says, really? Yeah, he says, go get it.

Starting point is 02:16:11 Go get it, buddy. He's like, I'm gonna go with Kobe. Kobe's the future, you're not. And Shaq's like, really? Yeah, this is my team. No, you won the three championships, but go get your money. I don't think this is your season.

Starting point is 02:16:22 I think it's Kobe's season. The Jer's and the Georges that have to deal with a lot of criticism and a lot of hate. It's not everybody's job It's not and it's a very tough job, and I'm I love the organization. I love the history I'm all about history traditions rituals all of that stuff that stuff is very attractive to a guy like me But it may not be attractive to everybody. It is to me though. Quite frankly, you know, I got in trouble for saying this while it was going on, and

Starting point is 02:16:50 what I said about Juan Soto, and I got a weird phone call, which I'll keep that private, but to me, the moment the Yankees lost after the way Juan played defense, and then afterwards when they're asking, and where do you want to go I'll take offers from anybody showed zero respect to the Yankees organization I'm not interested very simple you have to be proud to go to the Yankees you have to have a sense of a historic you have a sense of an understanding of who played for the Yankees what they did to the game. When you watch Maris Mantle, when you see stories of Ruth, when you hear stories of what Jeter, all these other guys that came,

Starting point is 02:17:33 and I'm getting the chills all over my body, when you see the stories of Yogi, when you hear those stories, these guys built that organization where people are now proud to wear the jersey, okay? Where people scream and say this, this, this, may, may, may, be, be, be, the greatest day of my, my, my, my life, life, life, life, life, life. When you put that Yankees jersey on, there's something about it.

Starting point is 02:17:58 And that's got to continue. That pride's got to continue. People want to belong to an organization that's a little bit tough to be a part of. It's not for everybody. You want to belong to an organization. That's a little bit tough to be a part of It's not for everybody you want to go play anywhere go play anywhere some places That's a little bit tougher to be a part of it's a little bit more challenging. It's a little bit more annoying It's a little bit more edgy. It's a little bit more of that. Yes, that's the Yankees and I respect it I like it doesn't mean How gets to make whatever decision he makes he's the majority owner. he's the boss. He calls the shots, you gotta follow,

Starting point is 02:18:25 that's what the shots is being called. And he has more insight to information that's being made and his team supported it and it is what it is. But I also applaud Aaron Judge. This guy is a, you know he was adopted. The way he was, you ever hear him talk about him being adopted and what his family did to him and how he looks and gives the credit?

Starting point is 02:18:47 I don't know man, I think Aaron is like freaking, I just want to see this guy win a championship. I want to see him win one. He's the kind of guy that you want him to see win one. I like him as a face of a league. He's a great number one for an organization, great flag carrier in an era where it's very hard to find a great number one that's willing to defend the values and principles and the cultures and the rituals. Good luck finding a guy like Aaron Judge today. Anyways, alright, so we are done with today's podcast. Rob, what is today? Today is Tuesday.

Starting point is 02:19:23 Tomorrow we're getting the podcast with Bolsonaro that's going live. If you have the intro for the people that are still here with us, you get a chance to see it at the end, but it's going to go live tomorrow. And this will be translated both in Portuguese and in English. I believe the English one will go on this channel, PBD Podcast, Rob. The Portuguese one will go on Valuetainment Brazil. We have a new channel that's created called Valuetainment Brazil. Rob, if you can put the channel below for people that want to go subscribe to the Portuguese

Starting point is 02:19:53 version of it, we've already put up two clips on there and I speak hell of a Portuguese, man. What do you want to hear? How are you? It's so good. Four days. It's like Mormons. I went to Brazil for four days, I learned how to four days. It's like Mormons. I want to report, you know, Brazil for four days

Starting point is 02:20:05 I learned how to speak Portuguese the technology to have is a very advanced. Yes but if you want to play this clip Rob for people to see it, this is the Intro to the president's jair Bolsonaro interview that goes out tomorrow night name go for it Rob To most Americans, when they think about you, they compare you to President Trump. Both of you are very loud, both of you are very strong. We have one more thing in common. I was stabbed and he was shot. The deep state works to remove opponents from the left. And I am here in Brazil, at the moment, the only right-wing leader,

Starting point is 02:20:48 just as Trump is in the United States. If in the US, the establishment, the left, could silence Trump to not be able to run in 2024, they would have done exactly the same thing they did to you. Our Supreme Court here is completely politicized. If Mother Teresa of Calcutta were to take an interest in most of them, she would be convicted by our Supreme Court. Do you believe President Biden and maybe even the CIA,

Starting point is 02:21:22 he was involved in making sure you lost and Lula got back in. I was trying everything. They couldn't convict me for anything. So now they've made up a story about a coup in Brazil. We condemned the destruction, the invasion. We never did that, but it was something planned and designed by the left. My non-candidacy is a denial of our democracy.

Starting point is 02:21:45 We have a video of him saying that and it couldn't be shown. In other words, we couldn't show anything from the other side. On this side, they accuse me of everything. Xenophobic, homicidal, pedophilic, everything. If I say what I know, hours after you put this on air, I will be arrested. Is it fair to say that China would rather have Lula as president than you? Not arrested in charge. Yes, yes, completely submissive.

Starting point is 02:22:11 The corruption in Brazil. He said, if Jesus came to Brazil, even he would need to make an alliance with Judas. Yeah, that's normal in Brazil. We've always done that. The reason why whistleblowers are afraid of come out, because they're worried what Demoraz will do to them. So get the hacker, look at me. What happened to me? The truth will come at the right time.

Starting point is 02:22:40 You're certain of that? Absolutely. I'm the one who made the people Start believing in their country again Jared and everybody in the back The part when he was crying what was that regarding I can't tell you watch it watch it Ask and he went on a rant Rob's in tears as resources in the background in tears translating to me in tears. It was an incredible moment Anyways gang tomorrow night am this is a coming out and then Thursday Rob. We got home team

Starting point is 02:23:24 Yes, sir, and then we Thursday, Rob we got home team. And then we got a few other surprises that are coming and just stay tuned. Take care everybody. God bless. Love you Tom. Bye Tom. Words talk, numbers scream.
