You know who you are, Chad, Kelly, Jake.
I don't wanna misname Rob's.
We gotta help me out.
Rob, who else was there?
Humberto, Reggie, everybody.
Andres, Barney, man.
Tom, Julius.
Everybody.
Barney, the facilities guy, man.
You guys are amazing.
Adam wasn't here for a second,
but you guys were amazing.
Phenomenal job, thank you. They worked all weekend long to get this done and a
special surprise. Yesterday while we're doing all of this to get it ready for
today, I had a podcast to do with somebody that we've been trying to do
for a long time. This isn't somebody that you know for some of you guys that love
the mob interviews I've done in the past. Michael Franci, Sammy, Frank Collada, Oscar Goodman, Phil Leonetti, Ralph
Natale, all these guys, we finally sat down with John Gotti Jr. yesterday and it was almost
a four hour podcast.
Lot was covered, lot of shots fired, it's gonna be intense, it was very emotional.
I think got emotional twice, Rob, if I'm'm not mistaken when you open up and shared a couple stories
But that's gonna be going out here soon
So the crew came with at the podcast at the other building then they came back here worked all night
To get this ready shout out to them anyway stories to go through a lot of stories. We got to go through here today
One with what happened with Syrian rebels toppling Assad, transforming Middle East.
We got a lot of things to talk about there. Netanyahu hails historic fall of
Bashar Assad in Syria credits Israel's attacks on Hezbollah and Iran.
Stories with Trump. Trump will part in January 6th rioters on day one. By the
way, Trump did an interview with, what is her name?
Kristen Welker? He did the interview with, what is her name? Kristen Welker?
He did the interview with her.
And I have to tell you, I think it's one of the best interviews I've seen.
It was phenomenal on the interview, back and forth questions, we'll play a couple clips.
It was phenomenal one part when she says, so now that you are going through this, what
are you going to do?
America's divided.
And while America's divided, what
is he says? Wait a minute, I'm not even the president yet. What do you mean? Why can't
Biden's not bringing us together? There was so many phenomenal moments between the two
of them. We'll show you some of the reactions to it. So hang tight for that. Black Lives
Matter leader sparks outrage as he claims KKK got another victory and rant outside
Daniel Penny's trial because of Daniel Penny being acquitted. There's a lot of
interesting things going on there in New York. Some happy, some not. We'll address
both. Then the United Health Care CEO assassination, Brian Thompson, they
finally identified the shooter Luigi Mangione. And by the way, he's not what you would expect
him to be. He's got a very interesting background, but we'll cover that as well on what happened
with him and some reactions from some people defending him, which is very, very radical.
But again, that's the part of discussion and here on both sides, we'll cover that. Donald
Trump and Joe Biden had a very, very unique, I wanna say intimate moment.
Intimate, intimate story.
That prompted one of the greatest commercials
of our time for Cologne called Fight, Fight, Fight.
Even your enemies cannot resist you.
I'm wearing it right now.
Are you really?
Yeah, there you go.
All right, next.
More drone sightings reported in Jersey.
Some drone sizes of cars, by the way, apparently,
the size of drones.
There's a clip between Pierce Morgan and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
We have to cover this because at this point of the game, I don't know where he's going
next, Neil deGrasse, but it sounds like he's kind of trying to defend his argument and
it's working against him.
I want to get your thoughts and I will show it to you.
Jay-Z denies allegations, he sexually assaulted a 13 year old in 2000. What did
he come? This is a CNN story. We'll address that as well. California sheds more than 6,000
jobs due to fast food wage laws. Couple stories there with California and then Anna Navarro
and Whoopi Goldberg got into a heated exchange on The View. Yeah, pretty bad. I love it. Vox Media split with ex-Wapo
reporter Taylor Lorenz after explosive comments about UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
It was so bad that even Piers Morgan had to say, what's the story with the joy? Why are you so
happy? Why are you reacting this way? You'll watch this clip as well. And then we got a couple other
things we'll show you in regards to Syria. But it's great to be on here with you guys before I get right into it. Gang, we are in that season.
Month of November was incredible for us with the amount of people that wanted to support the future looks bright gear. I want to give a shout out to all of you guys. We had more purchases made in the month of November for future looks bright gear than the last two years combined. I want you to say that again. Let me say that one more time. More, this brand is getting out there
and people want to represent it.
When you go out there, I went to a tournament this weekend.
You go places, people pulling up, future looks bright.
So, weather's a little bit cold, here's what we got.
By the way, the material of these sweaters,
I dare you to order one and return it.
I dare you.
Order it, put it on, see what it feels like. The
gold value taming where you walk around the mall or school, any gym, people look at you
and say, hey, me too, man, I'm a value tainer as well. And on the back, it's got a Future
Looks Bright gold written. It's incredible, the material with it. Then we have for those
of you guys that are going out there to the gym working out you want to represent USA You're proud American. We got this workout gear USA with the back future looks bright with the American flag
Look how sick that is by the way, right? That's out there as well. Rob if you can pull that up
Embroidered man. Yes, it is
And these sweaters again these sweaters that just came in that just dropped
these logos at the back and the future looks bright and more stuff with the pants that go with it or the
What do you call it the polos that we have go to vt merch calm place your order first
100 again get the future looks bright
Mugs that we have as well, but these sweaters are
Incredible quality material priced very well get yourself one of these there's many different options to choose from
And every one of them on the back of it says future looks bright. We're very optimistic
I saw again Elon Musk tweeted saying future looks bright
Everybody now is going out there saying future looks bright these next four years are gonna be special next four years
I hope you got a specific plan for what you're gonna be doing the next four years. Having said that, let's get right into it. Rob, if you
don't mind pulling up the clip of Trump sitting down with, did you say Kristen?
Kristen Welker. What's the other girl's name from CNN?
Kristen something? Chana Bash? No, no the other one that, okay so anyway.
Kaitlyn Collins. She has no upper lip. Kristen Welker's the one that Vivek faced off on
at the debate.
So they're sitting here,
there's so many different clips and topics,
but I thought it was a phenomenal one hour
and 15 minute interview to watch.
Rob, which clip is this one that you have?
There's a couple of them I wanna react to.
Talking about Joe Biden being the divider.
Right, go for it, go ahead and play this clip.
I don't have to tell you this,
because you've talked about it.
It comes at a time when the country
is deeply divided. And now you're gonna be leading this country for the next four years.
For the sake of unifying this country, will you concede the 2020 election and turn the
page on that chapter? No. No, why would I do that? But let me just tell you, when you say
the country is deeply divided,
I'm not the president. Joe Biden is the president.
But you're gonna be the president.
No, no, I'm not the president. So when you say it's deeply divided, I agree.
But Biden is the president, I'm not. And he has been a divider. And you know where he divided
it more than anything else and it probably backfired on him. I think definitely is
weaponization
when he weaponized the Justice Department and he went after his political opponent,
me.
He went after his political opponent violently because he knew he couldn't beat him. And
I think it really was a bad thing and it really divided our country.
Sir, Democrats have control of the White House now they didn't in 2020. If they're going
around stealing elections, why would they do it now? When you say Democrats have control now of the White House now they didn't in 2020. If they're going around stealing elections,
why don't they do it now?
When you say Democrats have control now-
Watch his answer.
Of the White House.
Yeah.
So why didn't they steal this election?
Perfect answer.
Since they have more power now.
Watch this.
Because I think it was too big to rig.
Yes. Gangster. Yeah, silent.
So you won't-
She doesn't have anything to say.
Ooh.
By the way, that was fantastic, right?
Love it.
Now, while you're reacting to it, Vinny, I'll come to you. Rob, can, that was fantastic, right? While you're reacting to it Vinny, I'll come
to you. Rob, can you find a clip of him talking to her about immigration and border and Obama?
If you don't have it, I'll send you the clip as well. But your thoughts on what he just
said to her.
It's facts and it's the proof is in the pudding. Okay, these people and these, I was on Piers
yesterday and I told these left this MSNBC,
CNN, if they don't start changing their tunes right now and they can't help themselves,
they are going to be out of work. Okay, they're already getting pay cuts. It's like, and he
shouldn't. Why should he concede? Why would you concede the 2020 election? It's been proven
that they cheated the FBI at Twitter and what all those mail-in ballots overnight,
I think it's, I'm so happy and it's so refreshing Tom,
that he is back and he has that same attitude, he hasn't missed a step.
I agree, I don't think these are clips, I think these are rounds and that round one
there, she took a knockdown.
The media is in coping mode, they are coping.
So what are they doing? They are blaming the people that were inside Kamala's campaign.
But they are explaining away what happened with the voters, and they are full of excuses.
And what they are attempting to do is spin into a reality that fits with the coping mechanisms
in their head.
They're in denial.
So the country is so, oh my gosh, what are you going to do?
What are you going to do about it?
You say, wait a minute.
I'm not the president.
He's the president.
He divided it.
So don't try to spin this on me.
And so that's what I think.
You're seeing them in coping mode.
They don't know where to start and they go off on these angles and they stick their chin
out and they get hit.
Tom, and we're talking about, what is this?
Meet the press, okay?
Well you want to talk about dividing the country?
It's the mainstream media.
That's why nobody trusts them.
Do we not forget?
They went for a whole week saying Trump was Hitler.
And then you want to talk about dividing the country?
If you make one guy out to be literally Hitler, this is all BS.
They just can't help them
So they're getting a paycheck. I don't even think she believes what the hell she's saying Walker keeps getting hit
I mean the deck knocked her down in the first round at the at the you know
The RNC in Miami and now Trump has knocked her down this poor Christian Walker spending more time on her back than Kamala Harris
So in the middle of coping season.
Well, I would tell you, I don't know how much time
she's spinning on her back, but what I would tell you is
I actually like this interview.
Like I wanted to watch this interview
and I think she was the right person to do it.
I was actually very impressed with the way
this interview turned out.
What I was interested to watch,
I watched the whole interview whole interview right can you play
the clip in and out I want to come to you play this that is
this the one about what you're going to do when you send them
home, you know 0 separation policy that exchanges this the
one perfect this is the one folks you have to watch because
the way he turned it on her.
She had to pause for 2 seconds because she had nothing to
say. Watch this. Let me ask you about some of your other promises on this topic.
You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one. Is that still
your plan? Yeah, absolutely. The 14th Amendment though says that quote all
persons born in the United States are citizens. Can you get around the 14th
Amendment with an executive action? We're going to have to get a change. We'll maybe have to go back to the people, but we have to end it.
We're the only country that has it.
Through an executive action?
You know, we're the only country that has it.
Do you know, if somebody sets a foot, just a foot, one foot, you don't need to, on our land,
congratulations, you are now a citizen of the United States of America.
Yes, we're going to end that because it's ridiculous.
Through executive action?
Well, if we can, through executive action.
I was going to do it through executive action,
but then we had to fix COVID first, to be honest with you.
This is not the clip, Rob.
Thanks for watching.
It's the other clip that just played a clip I sent you,
if you have it.
It's a TikTok clip.
And it's phenomenal.
Watch this. Rewind a little bit,
Rob. There you go. Watch this, folks. I just love the way he answers this. Go ahead.
You also had it with Obama. You didn't know that.
He didn't have a zero tolerance policy.
And you also know he built the jails for children.
He didn't have a zero tolerance policy.
But in 2014, he built the jails. You know that.
I want to ask you about the zero tolerance policy. He didn't have a systemic, we're going to...
We don't have to separate a family.
Excuse me, Christy.
This is it.
We don't have to separate families.
Listen.
We'll send a whole family very united.
They're united.
That way the family's not separated.
Look at his face.
So no more family separations.
You're not reviving the zero tolerance policy.
Well, it depends on the family.
The family may decide to say, I'd rather have dad go, but then we'll see.
Did you get it? Yeah, dad, we don't want dad here. The family may decide to say I'd rather have dad go but
We don't want that here did you that's the brilliance of Adam thoughts
So a couple things we discussed birthright citizenship country being divided and the 2020 election. So let me just start with the basic one
Listen guys Trump lost the 2020 election period full stop. No, you didn't where they're okay. Well, Joe Biden's the president
So it's doesn't mean I don't know what fantasy land you're living in. However, there were some irregularities
We all know what happened with the Twitter files. We all know what happened with the New York Post
we all know what happened with hunter by the laptop, but don't get it twisted they they
Presented 60 court cases. They were the majority of them were dismissed
I know you're gonna cite the one thing that maybe Joe Biden's the president, but
we're looking forward, not backward.
If you want to just try to revisit and re-engage in the 2020 election, have at it all.
But here's the deal.
The country has been divided.
It started, I would say, early 2000s with Clinton, Newt Gingrich, everything happened
with there.
And it's been descending since George W. Bush. Obama was definitely divider
when Trump showed up in 2015-2016, not exactly a synergist
but I think he has a very unique opportunity to actually bring the country together right now. As far as birthright citizenship, he is right.
I think we're the only country in the world where as long as you're, you don't even have to be a citizen.
You could cross the border, drop an anchor baby, boom. The baby's now a citizen. There's a viral clip
He talked about you know, you have to have at least one parent who's a citizen
You can't just show up and have a baby and then boom the whole family's there
So there's a lot of valid points here
And I think bottom line he does have a unique opportunity to reinvent his legacy. Play the clip because he said
Trump did lose the 2020 election.
When she brought this up to him to say,
will you concede the 2020 election,
this was his answer that he gave to her.
She specifically wanted him to say,
now that you won, can you please come out
and say you concede?
That's what he said.
This is your first interview since you won the election.
Congratulations.
Yes.
Congratulations to you.
I hope you do well with it.
Yes.
And sir, I don't have to tell you this because you've talked about it.
It comes at a time when the country is deeply divided.
And now you're going to be leading this country for the next four years.
For the sake of unifying this country, will you concede the 2020 election
and turn the page on that chapter?
No.
No, why would I do that?
But let me just tell you,
when you say the country is deeply divided,
I'm not the president.
Concede.
Yeah, concede.
He won't.
He won't, but here's the thing, Adam.
No, no, no, hold on, hold on.
Going to your point, she's bringing it up.
He's passed it, but he's not talking about it.
But Adam, if we don't admit and come to terms of what they did, like we all know, you know
this yourself, they, you want to call it election interference, it's cheating.
They cheated, their guy won, the mail-in-ballot situation with the harvesting, it worked.
Hey, hats off to them.
I don't, he'll never do it.
And we, as his supporters, I'm
not going to sit there and go, yeah, let bygones be bygones. Because what if next time, Adam,
it's not too big to rig? And they do the same shit again. And then another virus, which
Peter Hotez is saying, he's predicting viruses out of his ass. Oh, January 21st, the day
after Trump is coming in, there's going to be another one. So no, we have to figure out
what happened.
The magic flip the switch virus
Yes, which yeah, but then and then right don't we have to keep them be honest Adam
We have to hold them accountable if they did what they did
Okay, like all the people all the FBI whoever told them to go to Twitter and stop all the stories all those guys all those 51
Secret what were those agents Rob this not?
Yeah, I want all of them to be held accountable because if we don't have everybody accountable now, they're going to do it again
They're Democrats, you know left way to an election. The 2020 election has got this
I'm being true. I don't think you're being dramatic
Is dramatic so every Democrat cheats is what you're saying. They've been proving that they did cheat
I want the ones that cheated to all the car. When you're saying that we can vote it for Trump excited for love it
Want to see Trump 2025? I'm excited. Yeah, but this whole nonsense of it's proven. It's proven. Yeah, you're oh for 60, buddy
60 lawsuits they presented in court. So the same law the same
I think revisiting 2020 and Kristen Welker brought it up.
She did.
Revisiting this nonsense that he won is not helping unify the country at all.
I'm excited for 2025 and the future of America.
Not going back to the 2020 election.
What does that do for anybody?
Adam, the accountability we need to...
I actually disagree with one part of your argument.
Go ahead.
The part of argument I disagree with, it sounds a little COVID-like.
Where suddenly, well, let's turn the page.
Turn the page.
Really?
We're not going to turn the page and forget what Fauci did.
We're not going to turn the page in these things.
We go back and look at it and learn from the past and prosecute where we should to make
a safer, more fair-
Bullshit.
Bullshit.
It's not what Fauci did.
It's what China did.
Now Fauci should be held accountable
What is that technique for let me finish so
Criticizing you I'm criticizing the fact that it was China and if we're gonna hold somebody accountable not 85
You're all sexiest man in the world Tony. Thank you for the sake of time. I'm she and Fauci for the sake of time
I'm gonna compress my preambles unlike you and I'm gonna get to the point
So what I was talking about is there's a kovat like feeling about the 2020 election where now we're willing to talk about
Certain irregularities and we're willing to talk about voting machines and we're willing to talk about mail-in ballots
And we're willing to talk about voting machines, and we're willing to talk about mail-in ballots, and we're willing to talk about things, and we've gone through investigation and said,
you know what?
There are some of things here.
And if we want safe, secure elections, then let's learn from 2020.
The suits are the suits, but let's learn how we can keep a tight election going forward
to bring the faith of the American people and trust in the electoral process.
And there's a certain thing that's happening now that everybody wants to forget every single solitary thing about 2020 when
there's things that we can learn going forward. Just as things we can learn going forward
about COVID. That's my point. I'll leave you guys to discuss the totality of it and go
back to your argument. But that's my point.
One simple question for you. I agree with you on accountability COVID fully agree when you sort of just
Interweaved the suits are the suits 60 lawsuits. They're oh for 60 at what point are we gonna say?
All right, they tried to appeal the 2020 election and they lost so why are we defending the fact that he lost?
I'm not how's that helping animal you're talking about the same same- No, no, no. I'm talking about- When you said the suits are the suits, what do you mean?
When did the suits stop and what have we learned since about insecure machines?
Dominion machines, some of them are insecure. We did have a secretary of state that broadcasts
passwords that are the admin codes to get into them. That's a fact. All of those things happen
close in and Laura Trump did a spectacular job deploying attorneys and people ready to be there standing in the gap
for freedom.
In 2024.
In 2024.
Because she knew what they did.
Because of 2020. So you can say the suits are suits. But that's like going back in to
say, hey, I'm sorry all of you guys under Jim Crow laws, you're 0 for 500 on suits.
It's a new day.
Come on.
We'll check this out.
We'll check this out.
Both can be very true.
FYI, here's the thing.
The great thing about this is the following.
Here's what I want, okay?
I want to find a way where I can trust elections 100%.
I don't know if Americans trust elections 100% right now.
I don't know if they do, okay?
And for you to have to double down
on amount of lawyers that you need, shout out
to Laura and their organization for being proactive about it.
By the way, you make a good point.
Zero to 60, there's a part of what Adam is saying which is kind of like, you won, let's
move on.
I love the fact that he said, no, I'm not going to concede.
Why would he concede?
He made his position.
He's telling his position. FYI, we're going to see who's going to show up to his inauguration. You
know, is Obama going to show up to the inauguration? Probably. Will, you know, Biden show up? Will
Kamala show up? Will Clinton show up? Will all those guys? I'm sure Bill is going to
show up because Ivanka is going to be there. He wants to show up. We're going to see who's
going to show up to this thing when that takes place.
I think it part of it a part of it to say there was none of it in 2020 for me
There's two words that we have to qualify
Now they especially when we're talking on the podcast the podcast people are millions of people are following it
We can't you can't wing it and just say stuff. There is
interference there is
Fraud those are two different things
There is interference, there is fraud. Those are two different things.
Election interference is what?
What Twitter did back before it was X.
That was interference.
What Zuckerberg did, that's interference.
What YouTube did, that's interference.
What those organizations did, 100%, that's interference.
Election fraud is you know
Ballot dumping all that stuff that you're doing. Those are two different things that you have to do. There is zero
Argument that election interference didn't happen zero Zuckerberg who gave four hundred million himself wrote a letter
Knowing the risk he had calling out the Biden Harris
Administration that he gave four hundred million dollars to and said at the end of the day,
the buck stops would be, I made a mistake.
So 100% there was election interference.
Even when Ilan bought it,
we learned about it with Barry Weiss and,
what do you call it?
Michael Schlemel, Matt Tybee, all these guys.
So interference, yes, but qualify and isolate the two.
This one still has to be fully investigated.
And I trust Cash Patel, some of these guys
that are gonna be in there, they have plenty of time
to go and find out what's gonna be taking place.
And guess who wants to know?
A guy like me wants to know.
That's it.
I just want us to trust that who I vote for
is gonna be scored away.
We have plenty of technology to do it the right way.
Let's go ahead and make that progress.
So, okay, so saying interference, okay, and I get the difference.
Interference, to me, I don't know about you, is still cheating. Meaning, you weren't letting the person that needed to hear the information hear it.
That's like you, Adam. We're playing football. It's you against us, and you've tapped into my headset
to where I can't communicate with my quarterback.
You're interfering, you're cheating in the game.
So call it whatever they want,
you still cheated and their guy won.
Cheating is cheating.
They like that, I think the word interference
is a cool word that they figured out
to get us away from the fact that you helped
the other guy win by silencing us,
by silencing the truth.
Yeah, but those are two different things, Vinny.
But it's cheating.
Let me know.
Okay, okay.
No, no, a hundred percent it is.
I'm not saying that's not.
All I'm saying is I want to trust that if I drop this vote, you can't flip.
You can't.
So to me, it's technology, ballots, IDs, how many states they don't want IDs.
That is true fraud.
We gotta address those things.
Why don't we have 50 states asking for IDs?
That's ridiculous to me that this is taking place.
But on this side, yeah, there's no question about it
that that took place.
Let's go to the next story here.
Daniel Penny, okay, results come out when,
yesterday I believe, right?
Results come out, Daniel Penny acquitted
of criminally negligent homicide after more serious manslaughter charge, was dismissed with, and this is by
the way, I'm reading this story written by CNN. That was CNN's title. Daniel Penny, 26
year old Marine, was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide and death of Jordan Neely,
a 30 year old man with a history of homelessness and mental illness. After Judge Maxwell widely dismissed a more serious manslaughter charge following jury
deadlocks, Penny restrained Neely in a chokehold on a subway car for several minutes.
After Neely acted erratically and yelled at passengers, Neely was later declared dead.
Penny stated, I wasn't trying to injure him, I'm just trying to keep him away from hurting
anybody else.
The trial included over 30 witnesses
bystander video and expert testimony the city medical examiner ruled nearly cause of death as
compression of neck chokehold
But the defense argued other factors including a sickling crisis
Schizophrenia contributed to his death Rob the reaction to this from some of the folks if you don't mind
One of the one was black lives matter Rob if you can play that there was a lady and a man if you have that Clip, please go ahead and play the clip. This is just the man first. Okay, go for it
There's no other way to view this
Everyone has looked at the case and those among you who say that
Daniel Penny is innocent have racism and bias in your heart. If you look at the facts of
this case, then you understand that Daniel Penny is guilty. But today today white supremacy got another victory today the KKK the
Klansmen the evil in America got another victory that is keep playing because he
got that very large dismissed a murderous state shall continue to America
and shall continue to pace second class status on black people.
Okay.
There's another clip.
Yeah, there's another clip.
I have another one.
This is where he calls for protesting.
Yeah, that's the one.
This is the one.
Just like everybody else has vigilantes, we need some black vigilantes.
And that's not a crime to say that.
That's encouraging violence.
That's not a crime to say that encouraging violence. That's not a crime to say that and kill us
for being loud
How about we do the same
When they attempt to oppress us as he's running across on his chest. He's a Christian
I know you're looking for us to be like, oh go and march go and march. No
This weekend. I want you to hold a community event
everywhere from the Bronx to Houston to Seattle to Florida.
Black people, hold community events
and talk about what you need.
Okay, all right, pause it Rob.
Play the other clip of the lady,
if you have the lady clip.
I'm still looking for the lady. I'll find the phrase.
I do have Daniel Penny if you'd like to see him.
This is him after the victory at the bar with his lawyer.
It's like Troy.
Okay, go ahead and play this clip.
Yeah, he's feeling good.
He's feeling good.
He's feeling good.
What's up?
Come together.
How's it going?
How's it feel?
It feels great.
He's finally got the justice he's deserved.
Did you think it was going to happen? Sorry? How does it feel? Feels great. He's finally got the justice he's deserved.
Did you think it was going to happen?
Sorry?
Uh, no, we think that this is, uh, should have happened probably on day one.
But the point thing is it happened.
So we can't control the timing of it, but we can certainly savor the outcome.
And why do you think it was not guilty?
That's good. That's that guy. We can certainly savor the outcome and why do you think it was not guilty?
Well, he's not guilty on a few different reasons because his actions were justified He was trying to help people on that train and okay, Vinnie. Okay, so
I've been following this. Sorry. Can we see the actual video of what he did? Is that possible?
I mean, it's it's out there Rob Rob could I don't think it's smart for us to show. Yeah, but um,
so I've been following this because so I'm understanding what's the context. This is the
thing on the subway on May 1st. I don't know the story right now. Okay. On May 1st, because it was
my birthday, 2023. This guy, United States Marine veteran is taking the subway to go to school to take a class.
The penny guy.
The penny guy.
So the, who was the individual's name that he...
Naly, Jordan Nealy.
Jordan Nealy.
He's on the train, Adam, flipping out saying this, I'm going to kill you.
I'm prepared to go to jail for life.
So everybody, there's kids, women, all races.
This is freaking New York.
And he's a black guy.
He's a black guy. I'm willing to die.
He's schizophrenic and he's on drugs.
They found drugs.
Schizophrenic and on drugs.
Okay, he's going crazy.
He starts tripping out.
And now notice how there's no footage at him.
The headlock is on camera.
There's no footage of the pre anything.
You know why?
People were feared for their lives
and trying to run away and get away from this guy.
They only started recording once he was subdued. you know what the real problem is. I think guys
It's not about race besides BLM that that rhetoric isn't working
They're already rioting and people are getting punched and stuff in the streets of New York. It's not about that
Can we talk about where this happened Tom? Where did this happen?
On the subway in New York, New York City. Okay, that's the this, okay? It's New York's crime, it's the justice system failing.
This dude was, Jordan Neely was arrested, are you ready for this?
44 times.
Does that even make sense to you?
44 times for crimes including kidnapping of a seven-year-old in 2015.
This is the video?
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
Gotcha.
Punching a 64-year-old man in-
Wait a minute, you guys just missed that. Sorry. Kidnapping of a seven year old. In 2015. Keep going. Punching a
64 year old man in 2019. Breaking a 67 year old woman's nose in 2021 when he punched her
and she fell on the subway. Okay. So he's an absolute sweetheart. He's a sweetheart.
And this is it. He was Jordan Jordan Neely he's a released and
re-released sweetheart yeah 44 times and do we what uh again Pam Sosa or
Dana Pennell said because they kept talking about race he goes I didn't see
a black man threatening passengers I saw a man threatening passengers and you
know he was threatening women of color men of color and nobody wants to, do you see that photo? You see that guy with the hat?
He was grabbing this. He wouldn't stop fighting. This guy was a man of color as they want to
keep saying it. Wasn't arrested. Nothing happened to him.
And you see him with the guy with the black hat is helping Penny restrain the guy and
hold the guy. He's not like, Hey, let go of that black guy. That's not what's going on.
It is a out of control man threatening the safety and welfare of the people in there,
ends up in a scuffle, ends up on the floor, ends up in a choke hold.
Yeah. And mind you, didn't want to do it. He's restraining him. Tragic loss. The guy
is dead, but this goes back to the same thing with George Floyd. All right? George Floyd,
high on drugs, lethal amounts of fentanyl, trying to pass a $20
counterfeit bill, the cop showed up and then, you know, a little bit excessive, whatever
you want to call it.
But if you're not a scumbag, if you're not a degenerate, if you're not a criminal and
the system keeps, you keep falling through the cracks, he, George Floyd would have never
met Derek Chauvin if he wasn't a degenerate scumbag criminal.
And George Floyd also had a lot of appointments with law enforcement.
Oh yeah, nine times.
And he had been released, released, released.
Nine times arrested.
And let's not forget what George Floyd did.
One of his crimes was home invasion where he took a gun and held it to a pregnant woman's
stomach while his friends robbed the house.
And everybody thinks these people are freaking saints.
It's the system, it's criminals, and for BLM to come up there and incite, he's asking for violence and I agree
with you that he should be investigated because that guy's been arrested for talking crap
to a cop and assaulting a cop. That guy Hawk, what's his name Rob? The BLM guy?
Oh, I am not sure. I forgot but ready for this. I think his name is Hawk. Hawk Newsome. And
you know what people don't wanna talk about?
On June 13th, 2023, Jordan Williams,
a 20 year old from Queens,
fatally stabbed the 36 year old DeVictor O'drago
on Brooklyn train.
Witnesses reported that the O'drago was homeless,
had been harassing passengers,
and assaulted Williams' girlfriend.
In response, Williams stabbed him and he killed him,
and guess what happened all charges dismissed
Everything was self-defense nothing in the paper because he's a black man all of a sudden
So white guy that's protecting black people and it's racism and BLM is doing their bullshit again
I think he I think he's a freaking hero and he should be commended for what the hell he did for saving people's lives
on the train that here any Daniel Penny, yeah, so did he
did for saving people's lives on the train. Daniel Penny.
Daniel Penny.
So did he fully agree with the majority of what you said?
So he sort of was a hero.
Yes.
Held down this guy.
How long was he choking him for?
A minute or two minutes where another guy was trying to subdue him.
He wouldn't stop fighting.
And once he let go of him, his heart was still beating.
Until the subway cops arrived.
But then when you have drugs in your, I don't know how his heart reacts to drugs and stuff like that.
These citizens didn't have handcuffs or restraints.
Yeah, of course.
Right?
They're waiting for the subway to stop and they're waiting for...
And for all the people out there that are talking shit, if we were on a train and your
kids and your family's there and somebody's going, I'm going to kill you, I'm ready to
die and I'm willing to...
Guess what?
You're a threat and we have to stop you.
Period.
Then shut up. Six minutes. Penny placed Mr. to stop you period then shut up six minutes penny place
Mr.. Neely in a chokehold for six minutes up, and he said he was fighting all of us fixation. Yeah, I mean back to direct
Well, here's the question though. Here's a question. So how many people Rob use the New York subway every day? What's the number?
Can you type in how many people use New York subway every day?
Hundreds of thousands.
I wanna know the number every day.
What is the number?
3.6 million people each day.
So here's a question.
In 2019, it was five and a half million.
That's what it was.
Went to 3.2 million to 3.6 million today, okay?
And so we're still not pre-pandemic levels.
Don't you think a percentage of people
that don't use the subway anymore is because of what happened in crime during COVID? They're like,
dude, like imagine what a father or mother tells their kid, hey, Adam, don't use the subway.
Imagine what a husband tells his girl, his wife or their kids, hey, babe, don't use the subway.
Honey, don't use the subway. Honey, take a cab. Don't use the subway. Honey, don't use the subway.
Now, what if you can't afford not to use a subway? You have to use a subway honey. Take a cab. Don't use the subway. Honey. Don't use the subway now
What if you can't afford not to use a subway you have to use a subway what happens when he go into so like imagine right now
today
Using the subway today
After what he said that guy a hawk eye
Imagine using the subway today the tensions you're sitting there. You're with a kid
You're sitting with your nine month old baby. How are you feeling sitting there, you're with a kid, you're sitting with your
nine month old baby. How are you feeling? What are you looking for? What makes you feel
safe? Who makes you feel safe? Does a guy like Daniel Penny make you feel safer when
you're in a place like that? Yes, because he's going to do what others maybe don't
want to do. How many other men were there that they could have done something to prevent
this guy from going around saying I'm gonna kill
somebody? How many of them reacted? Not many. Why? What does it take? It takes
courage and there's risk. So is that guy a hero or a villain? I mean look there's
there's a there's a part of part of things that's going on with me that that
I'm not comfortable about. We can go into this next story Tom unless if you got
any thoughts on this
No, you just said that's why Daniel Penny was on the subway
He is a Marine Corps veteran using the VA bill to go to school
He did not have the amount of money you need to take ubers or have a driver every day
So he is using the public subway to go back and forth to school and then last point you remember in March
2024
Cathy Hoche hochell H, whatever the hell her name is,
the governor, she deployed 1,000 troops
to the subway system, National Guard,
700 National Guard and 250 police officers.
We're not, is it Iraq?
That's how bad the subway is.
It's a joke in New York when people are like,
oh shit, you're gonna go on the subway?
It's a joke, and this all goes to New York, bro.
The mayor under investigation, illegals in the city, you're gonna go on the subway? It's a joke. And this all goes to New York, bro.
The mayor under investigation, illegals in the city, you can't ride the subway.
It's like, when are we gonna stop playing this game?
It's Gotham City.
It's disgusting.
And we gotta move on, because Eric Adam also talked about revenue shortfall from the transit.
I was about to go there, but I was about to go there in a completely different way.
What did Adam say the other day?
I love what he said.
He said something like, I don't care what you're gonna do if you know
Cancel me. I don't care if you're gonna, is that what he said?
I don't care if you're gonna cancel me, you know, because of what his relationship with Trump or something
I'm gonna do whatever I can to clean the streets of New York, but he made a comment about I don't care if you cancel me
It's getting to a point that even an Eric Adams is sitting there saying guys
We guys we got to find a way to clean up the streets
Even a guy like that is getting sick of it
But I want to get to next door here that also has to do with New York. So
CEO of United Health Care, okay Brian Thompson gets shot down a few days ago six shots
Everyone's trying to find out who this guy is. Okay
few days ago six shots everyone's trying to find out who this guy is okay finally they find a guy in the profile of this person they found is very
interesting it's not what you would have thought this isn't a guy that you know
has issues of kidnapping a seven-year-old and all this other stuff. The profile is very, very different. Luigi Mangione, named a suspect in Brian Thompson
shooting. Okay, so now who is he? Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania
on firearm charges and is primarily suspect in the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian
Thompson on December 4thth Found out of McDonald's
Manjoon was carrying a ghost gun that may have been 3d printed a
Silencer and a fake New Jersey ID matching one used by the shooter police also discovered
Clothing matching the gunman's attire and a manifesto
expressing anger at, ready?
The healthcare industry and corporate profits.
Brian Thompson 50 was shot at close range
outside the Midtown Manhattan Hilton Hotel
while attending United Health Care's investor meeting
to discuss record profits, the shell casings at the scene,
said the phrase, deny, defend, dispose.
Rob, do you have a clip to share on this one?
If you want to play this clip, go for it.
With Uber Reserve, good things come

See Uber app for details.
Aaron, one of the most interesting parts
of that particular hearing was actually his statements
after the conversation about bail.
The prosecutors basically stepped up there
and made the case why they believe
that this man should be held without bail.
They mentioned that he is awaiting potentially
an arrest warrant coming from New York City
as one of the major reasons.
But they also said that prosecutors noted
that they found him with $8,000 in U.S. cash,
$2,000 in foreign currency, his passport, and also a Faraday bag, which is basically
a bag designed to stop transmission of cell service or other sort of things like that.
At the end of his speech, the prosecutor's speech, Luigi Mangione said, I actually want
to address two of the things
that you said.
He said, I don't know where that money came from.
I'm not sure if it was planted.
And then he also said that that bag was waterproof.
And the term that the prosecutors used when discussing the Faraday bag, the ghost guns,
the 3D printed silencer was the prosecutors used a phrase saying this is criminal sophistication. Luigi Mangione said,
I don't know about any of this criminal sophistication when addressing that,
but it's just interesting, Erin, that of all of the things that were mentioned in that court
appearance, the two that he noted or took issue with was the currency and then that bag. Erin?
Tom, so there's a couple of things here on this kid. I shouldn't say kid, he's 26 years old.
Wall Street Journal had a story that really caught my eye so I dove into it.
I've been reading like everybody else has.
I'm looking for facts, I'm not looking for wild conclusions.
And said he was a Ivy Leaguer with anti-capitalist leanings.
And in the article and in other places there's consensus that he valedictorian of his high school and did a very touching
Address in which he thanked his parents. He thanked other people showed a very balanced guy at that time graduating high school who also
Called out and credited a kid that was at the high school that had not spoken Spanish when he got to the high school and heard he was graduating this private high school in
Baltimore had done very well.
And so he goes on to Penn, the Ivy League school.
And somehow he comes out of that and then goes to Hawaii and San Francisco, two liberal
hotbeds, hangs out in these areas, a co-living facility that you can look at up in San Francisco,
incredibly liberal, and goes there.
So what happened to this kid?
This kid comes from an Italian-American, accomplished family.
His grandparents have made money and been very successful, and he appears to be this
balanced kid giving a valedictorian speech, and all of a sudden, he comes out a pen.
And I'm not ready to blame the whole thing on Penn, but I will say this.
When you charge $80,000 a year for tuition to influence kids and educate them, you can't
stand on the other side of the line and say, oh well, we didn't influence them.
What's going on at Penn and things, they said he came out with these anti-capitalist leanings
and he's starting to read other things. And so I look at it and I think this is a horrible, horrible tragedy. Who knows
what flipped his switch to be able as a balanced kid to walk the street that
day, lie and wait for Thompson and pump several shots into him. Not one, not
impulsive, but to stand over him and keep firing who knows what flipped that switch
But I am deeply concerned because I see a before and after and I don't think you can run from the influence
That college had on him and where he chose to go after college to hang out in San Francisco
And then in Hawaii Hawaii
Maybe it's maybe he's out there for the Sun and all that but he went to San Francisco in this area
It just bothers me
But if you don't think your kids can be influenced you're not paying a very good point by the way
This is the speech you were talking about Rob if you want to play a clip of it high school
Yeah, about this winter when Kevin Wayne delivered a senior speech
As Kevin moved to America and joined our class in ninth grade English isn't his first language
This is him by the way.
But that didn't stop him from delivering a both hilarious and thought-provoking speech
about his transition to the United States.
How about Ray Saunders meeting Gilman's first year cybersecurity team?
Even competing against hundreds of veteran teams, the Gilman squad managed to advance
to the state and then regional championships.
All these endeavors took a huge amount of courage.
They demonstrate that the class of 2016
truly has the fearlessness to explore new things
and the obvious ability to excel.
But as inventive as the class of 2016 is,
our class was able to explore the new
while also preserving the old.
You can pause it right there.
I mean, obviously, it seems...
Rob, can you pull up who his parents are you pull up whose parents are who are his parents who are his parents
because if you type in his parents I'm curious enough we have anything about
his mom and dad what they do and what they did at 26 years old I mean at this
point of the game the people that are investigating this you should learn all
this stuff as well as when sprawling family found success after patriarch rise go a little lower
His grandparents were very successful apparently can we see the Nick Manjoni was?
Reported one question he had purchased a high-profile local country club in 1970s. That's the grandparents
They asked me what family I belong to I told them I belong to the manjoni family the joanie family of Baltimore County
The big patriarch of a
sprawling Italian-American family who died in 2008, was a self-made multimillionaire, real estate
developer who owned country clubs, nursing homes, and radio stations while supporting
an array of civics causes. His descendant, his wife, Mary, had 10 children, went out to be
successful in their own right, including excelling in athletics at Loyola University and taking over
the family businesses while grandchild is a state delegate.
One of his 37 grandchildren is now a person of interest, one of the 37.
So good family, they've done right, they've raised them well.
26 years father, lead man, Jonah Family Enterprise was himself off to a prominent start, valedictorian,
2016 Gilman School, graduate of University of Pennsylvania Penn like P Penn Penn Penn Penn okay so number
two Ivy League rank right now and early and by the way I wouldn't really put Penn
as the furthest left Ivy League school so Brown is the furthest right small
Rhode Island sure for sure so now Louie Mangione was taken into custody so I
don't know if I can put this all on pen here Tom for questioning Monday morning after recognized Atlanta Prince
Late Monday Manhattan prosecutors filed us with in a statement post late Monday on social media
The family said it cost could not comment on the report. We we only know
What we have read in them even the family is saying this we only know what we read in the media
What we have read in the media, even the family is saying this. We only know what we read in the media.
Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi's arrest.
We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray all involved,
the family wrote.
We're all devastated by the news.
Thompson's killer allegedly wrote those words.
And by the way, when they asked kids who knew him from school, they said, this was the boy
I set him up with a bunch of my girlfriends
because he was the guy you wanted to date your friends
because he was such a good guy that he was that guy.
So what flipped, by the way, I'm telling you,
a movie I went in and I walked out and I told Maris,
we went with 25 of us, and at 41, 42 minute mark,
I'm like, I'm outta here.
The movie Joker with Joaquin Phoenix.
The first one.
Well, you know, not the bullshit one they did with whatever.
The musical.
Musical with what's her name?
Not this one, Rob, the first one.
The first one.
Yeah.
Heath Ledger?
No, no, no, this is Joaquin Phoenix.
You're thinking Batman.
This is just Joker.
Yeah, this is Joker.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joaquin Phoenix, which to me is just one of the most
underrated, he could be on one of the most underrated.
He could be on one of the top 10 lists.
He's that good of an actor.
And you know what the story is about?
I mean, what is the story?
Chaos, anarchy.
Who does he kill in the movie?
Who gets killed?
The capitalists.
The capitalists.
Why?
I mean, they painted the father and the family and everything in such a way
These things matter
These things matter you're pinning people and you're inspiring people now
I think once they get to the bottom of it if the family responded that way guess what we know
It's definitely not that one of their family members didn't get the proper care
They need it from health insurance or hospital fair
Because if the family says that we're so disappointed and shocked so then could it be a girlfriend?
Could it be a friend could it be somebody that's a co-worker could it be an influence could it be somebody?
It's very interesting and by the way who knows what some of these things could be with this guy
But if I could find so Pat said something important I want to make
sure I clarify it he said you can't put this whole thing on pen I'm not here's
how I am saying in four years from that speech to when he graduated he changed
slightly and then three years later he's capable of an amazing premeditated
capital murder there's
something going on did he graduate from Penn when he was 18 and a half years old
Cornelius birthday so he graduated from excuse me see way oh not high school 22
and a half going on 23 okay so that was 20 years ago it is what I want to know
is what happened the last 90 days and that was my point about what flipped
what switch flipped but the anti-capitalist leanings
that were in some of the things he wrote
in comments and in book reviews
that the Wall Street Journal was talking about,
you know, where does that come from?
That's not coming from his grandparents
who are real estate capitalists or his parents
who are running the enterprise of the company, certainly.
Something is happening, PBD.
I'm not blaming Penn alone.
I'm saying, are there fingerprints of Penn
in the change of his heart?
I think yes, there are.
I have sort of a slightly different angle here
because I think it highlights the inefficiencies
and how messed up our healthcare system is
and what they describe as sick care. So, you
know, they say that life imitates art or art imitates life. You brought up the
Joker. I'll bring up another movie that you've referenced multiple times and
that's the movie John Q. Remember that story, PBD? So the story was Denzel
Washington, his son playing baseball in a baseball game drops basically debt and
Collapses due in a baseball game due to an enlarged heart
So when he goes to basically see if the insurance company and the coverage will cover the heart transplant
They do not and he doesn't have the money and he's denied and he basically it sort of highlights
And this is sort of the point here with this guy, the drastic measures that family
members, parents in particular will take to care for their kids or their loved ones. So what Denzel
Washington does is, if you recall, holds the emergency room hostage and says, I need to get
my kid a heart transplant. I mean, think about what you have to be going through. Your kid is almost dead and you hold the hospital hostage
in order to save your son's life.
It was such an emotional situation.
He was willing to kill himself and sacrifice himself
to give his son the heart.
But in the end, what happened was the judge,
after he was caught, everything had leniency on him.
He didn't charge him for attempted murder. What's the point with this? So the point is this the
healthcare system is the reason that this is happening. The healthcare system
is the reason that you can't put you can't put that like that. You can't say
something like that. I can. For your statement to say the healthcare system is the
reason why this is happening. I'm not saying, I'm not saying.
It could be one of the reasons, you can't say the reason.
I'm sure it's multiple reasons, but you don't write on the bullet or the gun, deny, defend,
oppose.
Last week we talked about how United Healthcare had the highest amount of declinations of
37% coverage and it wasn't even close. So why did he target this specific individual?
I'm not saying that this was the only reason let me let me tell you but there there's definitely some yeah room for conversation here
But what's going on in our system? I'm not one remember. He's allegedly
Tom I'm speaking if we you're in we're interrupting a lot today
Like let's just let us you did it to Vinnie you did you did it to Adam, now you're doing it to me.
Let us make the point.
We'll come to you, there's plenty of time.
So the part I wanna say to you with this one, here's this,
is when you think about issues like this with healthcare,
one of the hardest things for us to do
is the fact that one cop kills somebody, every cop's a bad cop.
And all we want to talk about is only the bad cop stories.
How many good cop stories does the news share?
Nobody.
I had an old friend of mine, his name is Jeff, we used to be very close back in the days.
He wanted to start a news network called GNN.
You know what his idea was?
Good news network.
Okay. But you know what it idea was? Good news network. Okay? But you know
what it was? Nobody would watch it. Because we're only obsessed with what? Bad news. Bad
news. If it bleeds, it leads. Now here's the problem. There's plenty of, my dad's 82 years
old. Who gets credit for that? The alcohol he drank? The packs of cigarettes he smoked?
Who gets credit for that? All the wonderful doctors that made this man live to 82 years old at my three-year-old
Brooklyn meets my dad.
So we have to be very careful when we make blanket statements.
There's a part of it that you're right.
32% denial rates, okay.
Yes, the market will react and say, yes, you're going to celebrating profits.
What the hell is wrong with you guys denying 32% while the industry averages 16%?
What is the matter with you to do 32% denial?
That has to be investigated.
Trump is sitting down with the same lady, I keep forgetting her name.
Kristen Welker.
It's not out of respect.
I think she did a good job.
You said Crystal or Kristen?
Kristen Welker.
Kristen Welker does the interview.
And you know what he says?
Here's what he says.
She asks him a question and says,
hey, out of curiosity,
what's gonna happen with healthcare?
Are you gonna, autism and all this stuff?
And Trump says, we have to look at it.
He says you know what I did the other day? He says the other day at Mar-a-Lago, matter of
fact, I called everybody. I called Bobby Kennedy and I called all the CEOs of the big
pharmaceutical companies. I said we got to figure this thing out. He says you know what I
learned? He says it's not even the pharmaceutical companies that are making all this money.
There's a lot of middlemen that are also making a lot of money.
Whatever it is, first of all,
the pharmaceutical companies make a lot of money.
I think that part has to be set aside.
So what happened with Pfizer?
Yeah, we have to figure this thing out.
COVID vaccines made Pfizer a lot of money.
No shareholder of Pfizer is sitting there saying
their wealth, especially to people that own a lot of money,
their wealth wasn't positively impacted by COVID that we're forcing. What percentage of Americans
took the vaccine? 67%. Can you pull up what percentage of Americans took the vaccine, Rob?
What percentage of Americans took the vaccine? Was it cheap? Was it free? Was it for nothing?
Was it cheap? Was it free?
Was it for nothing?
70% okay, now it's 81% of the population took at least one dose overall.
230% was fully vaccinated.
It was 67%.
Now it's 70%.
You know what that is?
That's 230 million customers.
You tell me what business isn't going to do good with 230 million customers. That part of it business isn't gonna do good with 230 million customers.
That part of it, for sure we have to investigate.
Coming back to this kid, Tom, if it's not family,
if it's not like I watch,
I would have looked at who he followed,
because you guys told me before,
Pat, I think he followed you on Twitter.
He did follow me on Twitter.
If you wanna pull up who this guy followed on Twitter, Rob,
very interesting, okay? I think his account you said was pep man. Gion. So it's not it's not that one. Is it that one?
Yeah, okay
Go to followers and zoom in so we can see who he follows from the top Rob from the top so Ezra Klein
Colonists from New York. Okay got it. Leopold don't know
Arrow with Center Zuby keep going Beth
Naval okay, Naval, very interesting guy.
Nassim Taleb, which is the book he wrote,
which Skin in a Game.
So why would he follow Nassim Taleb?
Somebody who follows Nassim Taleb
wouldn't do something like this.
Because Nassim Taleb said everyone's got Skin in a Game.
Right, then you go Sam Altman parody.
Then he follows the real Sam Altman.
Then Leviliso, Edward Snowden, he follows. Okay, A, then he follows a real Sam Alpen then the level level. So Edward Snowden
He follows okay AOC he follows keep going. So who else we got Jonathan?
Hi, we wrote the book he wrote the book anxious generation time, which we highly recommend everybody read
Maybe he was going through something with anxiety that we don't know about why is he following that guy? He's following me
He's following Bobby Kennedy Bobby Kennedy
Vaccine and he only followed 70 something people Brett Weinstein Brett Weinstein is a good voice for society right keep going
So you're Jonathan keep going John McAfee now interesting that one right there, right?
John McAfee keep going lower keep going lower keep going lower-O, Joe Rogan, okay, Dragon Believer, Alexander,
William Costello, you got Ali Abdal, Matthew Johnson, Psychedelic Scientist, keep going.
James Clear, one of the best books of all time, guys who have millions of copies called the Atomic,
things called Atomic Habits, Chris Williamson, Net Positive to Society, Andrew Huberman net positive society coach Phil Jackson the coach Trevor Noah the comedian keep going
Some Matt Walker Michael Poland. I'm sorry. Is that the comedian or no? No, I'll keep going. Is that it?
That's it
So I mean Tom who could influence him from 23 to 26 to make something like this happen. That's not related to family
23 to 26 your influences you know are
going to be beyond family and FBI profilers and people can talk about
the cases that were in the UK the radicalization of young men in their early 20s by the clerics
that were in London. You have an external mentor, so you as an adult are like,
okay, I'm spreading my wings a little bit.
You have family as foundation,
but now family is not influencing you as much anymore,
unless you're working in your dad's business,
you remain super close.
Now you're out there in society,
and who are your associations?
We tell people all the time, watch your associations.
You know, the five people that are closest to you
have the greatest, in terms of parallels in life,
or there's gonna be five, four or five they say,
that have great influence on you.
So between 23 and 26, you're gonna have a guy
who has external influences,
now we're gonna be influencing you more than family,
along with the maturation of the mind through college
into that adult state.
So I don't know that that list there tells us a lot
because I don't see radicals on that list.
I don't see, I see a couple,
I saw Richard Dawkins on that list.
I don't see like hard radicals on that list.
So the question is, beyond who he's following on social,
and by the way, how intense was he on social media?
You got to understand people's intensity was he there four hours a day 40 minutes a day
Rod did he tweet anything Rob or no, you know, there's a difference there
So I want to know who were the core influences taking up the majority of idle hours
That were on his mind and in his ear.
That's what I wanna know.
And that's what FBI profilers will tell you they wanna know.
And he didn't say, by the way,
he didn't say one word to anybody,
but you know, the only thing that strikes me odd
is that after three hours,
Twitter discovered who this guy was.
We knew his entire life.
Backstory, family ties, education, everything.
Donald Trump's assassin, whatever, Thomas Crooks, had, family ties, education, everything. Donald Trump's assassin,
whatever, Thomas Crooks, had six cell phones and we still don't know anything
about that guy five months later. So it's just kind of weird, Tom, who did influence
this guy? Who talked in this guy's ear that made him go and shoot?
Because it doesn't make any sense to me. This guy looks like a good kid, good
family, and then all of a sudden this lone guy goes out there and starts shooting. It's kind of sus. May I give a little bit of an explanation
or maybe even push back to what you said? PBD, I do agree blanket statements don't help anything.
So I'm not here to figure out what this guy did. Of course, he wrote the key word to any
shooter, a manifesto. We understand that thing. But here's what I will
say about the healthcare system and why I'm doubling down on it. So the whole deny, defend
the post thing, there's a reason that he picked the United Healthcare CEO, who has double
the industry average of decline rates by insurance companies. So do you know what the number
one reason for bankruptcy is in America? Health, it's not it's not job loss, it's not divorce, it's not the economy, it's
not credit card debt, it is medical expenses. So if you get sick and you
don't have coverage and you get this massive bill, what do you say 64%?
64% of bankruptcies are due to medical bills. So there's something there. So I don't know what happened with this guy
But something tells me I had to do
Me I think school for sure
Influence, right? I think this for sure influence
I think all of that is influence, but I don't know if any of that is one. I
want to know what happened the last 90 days to this guy. I'm going through all his tweets.
His tweets would be somebody who's a libertarian. That's what he sounds like. This guy sounds
like a libertarian, you know, that's tweeting stuff out that he is, you know, interested
in health and different types of things, but nothing do I see a pattern of this guy's
about to go do something.
Well, you've said something very important.
I think you should explain.
Your history loads the gun.
What's that whole story?
Yeah.
Explain that, please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I interviewed this guy who was, is historically,
that he was the first person that, and Jim Clement, he was the first person that in Jim Clement
He was the first person that would interview someone that killed their spouse or somebody like that
And he said yeah this guy right here very interesting story now. He was a New York State prosecutor former FBI profiler
He said there were three parts. He says genetics loads the gun
personality and psychology aims the gun but experiences pulls the trigger
I want to know what happened last 90 days. Yeah, something happened last 90 days
There's no way in the war anybody who's normal can have some thoughts in their minds
Okay, you know how you ever seen that movie?
Horrible bosses, you know horrible bosses where there's a moment where what's that
actor who is working for Kevin Spacey and in his mind he says yeah I've
decided who I'm giving a promotion to yeah I'm giving a promotion to myself
and I'm breaking this wall right and there's a scene where what is that guy's
name the guy it's Rob go up a little bit Jason Bateman Jason Bateman Jason
Bateman take us grabs Kevin Spacey and throws him out the window and you're thinking that's the move. That's what happened
No, it's it's in his mind. We all have those types of thoughts on our minds sometimes I want to assure you
I never have those thoughts are funny
But the poor but the point is while this is happening look at the complete opposite side of reaction of some people go ahead Rob
I
Do believe in the sanctity of life.
And I think that's why I felt along with so many other Americans, joy,
unfortunately, you know, because it feels like, I mean, joy,
maybe not joy, but certainly not, no, certainly not empathy.
Because again, we're watching the footage.
How come this make you joyful?
This guy's a husband is a father and he's being gunned down in the middle of Manhattan why is that making joyful Americans that being murdered so are
tens so are the tens of thousands of Americans innocent Americans who died
because greedy health insurance executives like this one push a policies
of denying care
to the most vulnerable people and up the many millions of Americans that have
watched people that I care about suffer and in some cases die because of lack of
health. So should they all be killed then? Should they all be killed these health care executives?
Would that make you even more joyful? No that would not. Why not? Why are you laughing?
Because it wouldn't fix the system.
You seem to find the whole thing hilarious.
I find your question funny.
A bloke's been murdered in the street.
I don't find it funny at all.
I don't find it funny that tens of thousands of Americans die every year and because they
are denied life-saving health care from people like this CEO.
She looks crazy.
Now I want to fix this system.
You're right, we shouldn't be going around
shooting each other with vigilante justice.
No, I think that it is a good thing
that this murder has led to America
or really immediate elites and politicians
in this country paying attention to this issue
for the first time.
You mentioned you couldn't understand
why somebody would feel this reaction when they
watched a CEO die.
It's because you have not dealt, it sounds like, with the American healthcare system
in the way that millions of other Americans have.
I've dealt with the healthcare system in various ways in America.
I don't think it's perfect by any means, but the idea that I would view it as something
joy—
Have you been denied life-saving treatment?
No, the idea that I would view it as something joyful that The idea that I would view it as something joyful
that a man who's just a healthcare executive has been executed in the street,
I find completely bizarre.
Who is that person?
Taylor Lorenz.
And do you know what happened on John Stewart's show?
Rob, you might be able to find this.
John Stewart mentions this guy, the killer getting arrested,
and the audience started booing.
Like, his entire audience was pissed off that this guy's caught and he's arrested.
That's the left.
That is this ideology.
She has joy for a guy getting murdered in the streets of New York.
Like these people, they can help themselves.
You know what?
When they...
Are you joking?
They're celebrating that...
Listen, listen to the audience. Listen to the audience.
I was like, couldn't have been that guy. Uh, today they did appear to catch that
guy today at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
What are you booing? No, no, there's some claps. Yeah.
Three people clapped and a lot of people booed.
He apologized. John Stewart apologized to his audience
once they started booing after he says
Luigi Magino was captured.
It's a murder.
Do not apologize.
What's going on?
You know what my thing is about?
When people reveal who they are, believe them.
That's the type of hate that's disgusting.
I can't believe, I still can't believe she kept talking.
Like stop, jump ship.
Have you done something with her or no? I've never done, I've never done I've never done. I might I was I think I was supposed to be on that
But I wasn't on the I wasn't in town. She meant what she said the first time. Yes
She did she meant she said she backpedaled of it. She meant what she said the joy. Yeah joy
she felt she felt joy that a
capitalist over an industry that she has
strong negative feelings about
Died she feels good about it. She felt joy. She meant what she said
She backpedaled exactly the eyes don't lie. Look at her eyes. Yeah crazy. Look at her
No, no, no, not that but look at during that interview. The eyes don't lie Rob go back to that person
Wikipedia you had just get off her picture. Yes, because trying to read they go so she's a podcaster for Vox. She got fired this morning. You're joking? No Vox parted
ways with her it was announced overnight. Are you joking? Nope. Okay good for Vox.
Hosting a show so she got fired because of what she said on peers. Correct.
Wow good power user and found a sub stack publication user max she was So she got fired because of what she said on peers. Correct. Wow. Good.
Power user and founder of Substack publication, User Max.
She was previously columnist at WAPO, a technology report at New York Times, Daily Beast, Business
Insider, social media editor for Daily Mail.
She is particularly known for internet culture.
Well, that was nothing about internet culture.
Good for you, buddy.
Where's her family from?
What school she go to?
Colorado, Boulder, where, everyone's over there.
If I may go all the way back, go all the way back for her education.
Old Greenwich, Connecticut, very, very liberal.
Greenwich High School, liberal.
University of Colorado at Boulder.
My God.
That is incredible.
It's a very liberal school up there.
Transferred to Hobart and William Smith colleges, graduated degree degree in political silence, science, also known as silencing conservatives.
She stated that the social media site Tumblr
caused her to become internet culture.
This is a born and bred hard liberal
who is an anti-capitalist, and now she may have
good points on a debate level about the state
of healthcare in America.
Even Paris Morgan
was saying, hey, I've got experience with it. It's not perfect by any means, but vigilante
gunning people down in the street and being happy about it. She has a very dark heart
and she meant what she said.
I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a job to at CNN or MSN. She's probably on the panel
right now.
She'll get a job right now. Oh my God. Look around.
We love her. She's a future star.
You have hate in your heart.
By the way.
Welcome to CNN.
So you know all of this, what it takes me to,
before we go into the Assad story,
is Neil deGrasse Tyson is on Piers Morgan.
And having this conversation together, right?
And then he's trying to explain himself
with the transgender, where he's trying to say what if we have competition
that is based on levels of testosterone level.
Folks whether you're a doctor or not watching this, whether you're a scientist or not watching
this, whether you went to Ivy League school, maybe you went to, you know, a regular university, college, a poison ivy school, whatever thing
that you went to school, right?
I want you to watch this and tell me if you have common sense, if anything this man who
is celebrated as being an incredible scientist makes any sense.
Go ahead, Rob. What I see is sports is on the frontier of how to
handle this frontier of people who are trans. It's on the frontier of how to
resolve that. And I'm making this up now. Imagine the future of sports does not
distinguish sex. It distinguishes and sorts people by hormone ratios
I'm making this up, but imagine that you are if that were the case that would be interesting
You get a hormone test you're in this range
And then you compete against other people with the same range ridiculous that that's no that is ridiculous. No, it's not
I'll tell you why you're gonna get every single person in your face. You can even believe it
Hold on. I used to wrestle and
Wrestling there are people who weigh sorry Mike using pounds here 125 pounds right on up to 240 pounds
They don't wrestle each other the entire sport separates people
So that the contest is interesting
Yeah, and so the people of the same weight wrestle each other,
and that is the contest.
But if Floyd Mayweather,
I don't know if that's how it will land.
Hang on, Neil, if Floyd Mayweather fought a woman boxer,
a female woman boxer, who was the same weight division,
he would annihilate her.
That's why we don't let it happen.
And in fact, in the Paris Olympics,
the winner of one of the women's boxing competitions,
one of the females who took her on.
Well my point is that I just think that, you don't mind me saying this respectfully because
I love you, but it just seems to me like you've dug yourself into a slight hole on this issue
and you're trying to get out of it and now you're suggesting slightly mad theories.
Whereas the science to me is obvious.
You've already given the best argument I've heard for why we separate the sexes.
That's not the point.
Hold on.
You misquoted me in this very interview.
What I said was the idea of creating categories within a sport, splitting them in the example I gave, which I've just made it up, like
hormone ratios, is not fundamentally weird compared to dividing wrestlers by weight.
No, it is. It is. I'm going to respond.
Because the only reason why you do this is to make an interesting contest.
No, Neil, you're wrong.
And so you said Floyd Mabryweather fight, hold on, no, no, hold on.
You're wrong.
You said Floyd Mabryweather fighting a woman.
You're not allowing for the superior male biology when it comes to lung capacity, stamina,
to body mass, to muscle mass, all those things.
If you just take one criteria of hormones, you're not allowing all that.
I'll give an example.
We can pause it right here.
I mean, at this point of the game, it's getting crazier and crazier the more you watch it.
Tom, thoughts on what Neil's saying here? Neil is Neil is in Pierce captured at best Neil's in a hole
He dug himself into a hole and now he's trying to intellectualize and draw himself out of it by
Presenting these you know well, maybe one solution is we do it by hormones Neil. We do it by hormones today
It's called male female and by the way, that's how we catch
males that are using, you know, steroids, the hormone ratios rep. It's like many, when
Manny Ramirez spring training, they played 14 games and he was caught. I think it was
nine. I think it was Oh nine where all of a sudden he lights up and he lights up because
there is a female hormone in there, which is a pregnancy recovery hormone that he took and it was estrogen and it was to bring
down the excess testosterone except he didn't get the 17 days that were
necessary because at the end of the 17 days he would have what they said pissed
clear get it yeah of course and so that moment, Manny Ramirez could have played in
women's professional baseball or bra if he wanted. And if you wanted to wear a bra, well,
that's cross-dressing. But my point is, my point is the hormone argument that Neil Grass
Tyson is making, he's trying to get himself out of a hole. And basically the hole is this.
And Pierce pointed out very good. Look, you You know in the Olympics. He didn't let Pierce finish it
I think he knew where Pierce was going you had a male boxer in the Olympics
It was identifying female that they let go in there and he almost killed somebody right same way
You know hormones showed up the same because he was taking the hormones
But it didn't change the fact that for 21 years he had grown into
Lung capacity muscle mass and everything else
Male and at 128 pounds whatever his weight class was he was a beast and then oh nope
I'll take these drugs. I'll get this hormone stuff, but he's still what was that skeletal?
Muscle mass that she was facing? A guy.
And Neil deGrasse Tyson's trying to dig himself out
of a hole, god bless him.
And I agree with you 100%, it's like you're the dumbest
smart person I've ever met in my life, but my question
to you is, what would make someone that smart,
that educated, say something like this.
When we talk about this conversation in the past
about the hill that you wanna to die on, your conviction.
Is it just for like to be relevant? Because he's going at, he will not stop talking about this, he just did Bill Maher, he talked about it again.
And then he's talking crap about Elon Musk and Mars and how he's, is it just to stay relevant because nobody's talking about him and his ties?
Pride and ego?
That's what I was just going to say that, what do you think? I don't know, I think the one thing
you have to be very careful with is
when you're going through a position,
like for example, one of the things why this show does well
is we comfortably debate.
And we walk away and we're good.
And we're like, yeah, you know what?
Let's see what happens.
Nothing leaves this room.
And it's like, you know what?
That was a wrong argument, guys. Yeah, we were right on this one, we's see what happens. Nothing leaves his room. And it's like, you know what? That was a wrong argument, guys.
Yeah, we were right on this one.
We got that one wrong.
Well, that's interesting.
I didn't know that.
Huh, okay, boom.
You're kind of going back and forth with it, right?
This guy cannot stand the idea of being wrong.
He cannot stand the idea of being wrong.
And he was wrong period. So you know the walking
on eggshell community? You ever had a parent or a coach or somebody that everything was
walking on eggshells had to be perfect. It's very uncomfortable to be running. Some fathers
are like that, don't do that, don't, don't, don fathers are like that, you know, don't do that.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's everything, right?
There's standards, there's expectation, but then there's walking on eggshells perfection,
solving for perfection.
And when you try to solve for perfection, it's a miserable place to be because everybody
fails.
Nobody reaches that.
You're going to be wrong at times and you're going to lose at times.
Anytime I get into a conversation with somebody, you're going to, I at times, and you're going to lose at times. Anytime I get into a conversation with somebody,
I'll never forget what Trump said.
He said, why would I debate again?
Why would I do that again?
So let's just say it doesn't work out in my favor.
He says, oh, no, remember that one thing he did
right before he came to us,
which was the Bloomberg thing with that guy,
they talked about tariffs? I don't know if you remember that. And he says, yeah, you know what Bloomberg thing with that guy, they talked about tariffs.
I don't know if you remember that.
And he says, yeah, you know what?
Before I went, they told me not to do it.
He said, because sometimes you lose these debates.
And you go and you're like, I'm either gonna lose
or I'm gonna do this or I'm gonna do that.
He's just kind of openly talking about it, right?
Everybody is wrong at times, everybody.
Neil's having a hard time
because he thinks he's better than that.
And in this position, the more he goes here,
the further he's gonna lose credibility
and the more unattractive it's gonna be.
People are gonna move on.
There's plenty of people in the marketplace to follow
than Neil deGrasse Tyson.
The world doesn't need Neil.
Neil needs the world.
Like for example, the world needs Trump, okay?
It's not like Trump also needs the voters,
but the world needs somebody like that to go do something.
The world needs an Elon Musk that's willing
to put money on the table to buy X.
There is nothing the world needs Neil deGrasse Tyson for.
Think about what I just said right there to you.
Nothing.
What do you need him for?
Zero.
No, it's like boom, great. What kind of the level of contribution that Trump and other guys relax,
you're not that important. It's going back to that, you know, Marcus Aurelius with a
slave in his ear saying you're just a man, you're just a man, you're just a man. Neil,
you're smart, but you're just a man. It's okay. Let's rebrand and move forward so you can find a following like Bill Maher had to recreate himself
I think he needs to go through that. I'll just be real quick
You know in finance they say the worst thing you can do is throw good money after bad
You made a bad investment cut your losses move on but when you lose and you're losing money, I know
I'm gonna try again. Like have you ever been to Vegas before and I lost 10 grand, oh man, I'm going to try
to win it back.
Boom, now you're down 20 grand.
Holy crap.
And you keep doubling down and you basically keep losing more money.
That's exactly what Neil deGrasse Tyson is doing.
He's doubling down on this woman is a man, man is a woman, XY chromosome thing, and nobody's
buying it.
And Vinny said, is this the hill you really
want to be on? Yeah, this is it. Yeah, you're an astrophysicist. You're smart. You're funny.
You're humorous. You make space and space exploration relatable. Yeah. And you're
diluting and ruining your brand over wanting women to compete with men in sports, makes no sense to me.
Do better, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
You're better than this.
The word ass is an astrophysicist.
I don't know where he's going.
So let's go to this next story.
We got a bunch of stories to go through.
So let's go to this next story.
Jay-Z denies allegations he sexually assaulted
a 13-year-old, I was about to say boy, but it's not a boy.
It's a 13-year-old in 2000 with Sean Diddy Combs.
So the story says that.
Rob, if you can pull up the story with this.
Okay, so a lawsuit filed against Sean Diddy Combs
now alleges if he can find their response,
because Jay-Z actually responded.
There's actually a response,
and I wanna read that to the audience.
It was Rock Nation, right?
And I think they might have taken it down after.
Just give, I have it.
I have it anyway. So if you don't down after just I have it I have it anyway
Oh, yeah, okay, don't have it. I have it, okay, but it should be someone to respond so okay
General's on the agenda to comes now includes allegations that Jay-z
Sean Carter sexually assaulted Jane Doe who was 13 at the time at an after party 2000 Video Music Awards
Dole I just she felt woozy after consuming a drink then wandered into a bedroom where Carter raped her first
After consuming a drink then wandered into a bedroom where Carter raped her first
Followed by combs Carter called the allegations so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint
Not a civil one and said whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away
the lawsuit claims Carter responded to mediation requests with a
frivolous lawsuit and accusations of harassment against those
legal team. It states Jay-Z responded to said letter by orchestrating a
conspiracy of harassment, bullying, and intimidation against plaintiff's lawyers,
their families, employees, and former associates in an attempt to silence plaintiff.
In his statement to CNN, Carter labeled the mediation effort a blackmail effort and remarked that those lawyers seem to have a pattern of these types of
theatrics is this their response Rob yes and is this from him because he actually
responded I think because it says my lawyer received a blackmail attempt so
this is what it's saying Jay's the internet is saying that this is Jay Z's
response can you zoom in a little bit, Rob?
My lawyer received a blackmail attempt called a demand letter from a lawyer named Tony
Busby.
What he had been calculated as the nature of these allegations and public scrutiny would
make me want to settle.
No sir, it had the opposite effect.
It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in very public fashion.
So no, I will not give you one red penny.
These allegations are so heinous in nature that I've read that already.
These alleged victims would deserve real justice if it were the case.
This lawyer who I have done a bit of research on seems to have a pattern.
I have no idea how you come to such a deplorable human Mr. Busby.
I promise you I have seen your kind many times over.
I'm more than prepared to deal with your type.
You claim to be a Marine. Marines are known for their valor. You have neither honor nor
dignity. My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will sit our children down,
one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions
about the nature of these claims. By the way, very well written. You think he wrote this
year?
Yeah.
And explain the cruelty and greed of people.
I mourn yet another loss of innocence.
Children should not have to endure such at a young age.
It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy
families and human spirit.
My heart and support goes to true victims who have to watch how their life story is
depressed, dressed in custom for profitability
by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.
You have made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all celebrities are the same.
I'm not from your world.
I'm a young man who made it out of the projects of Brooklyn.
We don't play these types of games.
We have very strict codes and honors.
We protect children.
You seem to exploit people for personal gain.
Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fakes, physics, will believe this idiotic
claim you have leveled, levied against me that if not for the serious surrounding harm
to kids would be laughable. Tom.
So I break this down and first, it's very subtle. It's very subtle Vinny, but you can detect Jay-Z indicating, again,
you really gotta read between lines,
that he's not gonna negotiate, right?
It's hard to see, but it looks like
he's not gonna negotiate.
But there's a line in here, I love to dissect these things.
And first of all, I think this was written by a spokesperson
taking nothing against Jay-. and his capabilities,
but this really appears to be written by a legal publicist.
This is the way they write.
This is their style.
So one of the things he says is,
I employ you to file criminal, not civil.
And when I saw that this morning,
I didn't have time before the show,
but I wanted to look up the statute of limitations, Pat,
and to see whether this is chargeable.
I don't know, I actually do not know at this hour.
But when I see something like that,
I go, oh, is this potentially outside the chargeable window?
The statute of limitations applies.
Because remember what happened two summers ago
when they moved the date in New York State, New York City,
all those women came out with those Me Too suits
because they had a deadline date, remember?
Otherwise the statute of limitations was gonna come.
That's what I see this.
So this is a standard response from a legal publicist.
You know, and that can be the words and tone So this is a standard response from a legal publicist.
And that can be the words and tone and opinion of JZ, but I think it was written by a legal publicist
into the form that they use.
Ambulance chaser, cheap suit, all of those are
kind of stock words they use.
My question is, has a statute of limitations
moved on this? Question one.
And question two, with all due respect to Jay Z, there's an awful lot of pictures of you running around in your undies at parties with Diddy.
And so you were at some of these parties. Parties it's not like there's no Photographs that America's going in. Hey, is that a young jay-z running around in his underwear with with
Did he had a party? Huh? You know when you see that it's hard to walk away from that visual
And so by the way, I don't know if you guys know there's no Tony Busby isn't an ambulance chasing
He is probably one of the most successful lawyers in the
United States. So I don't believe none of that BS. So some of the
I did some digging. So apparently he got sued by an unnamed person. He won't name
the person. And this person hired private investigators to go through
Busby's life, talks to ex-employees, ex- clients because they wanted to get as
much dirt on him as possible. And they basically approached him and said, hey, if you don't back down with suing this
random person, I mean, I think we all know who it is, we're going to expose everything.
So you know what he does?
He comes out with the Jay-Z alleging, raping a 13-year-old girl.
And now, again, all allegations, but from what the questioning is with this girl, this 13-year-old
girl knows everything about this house from the driveway
To the paint inside the building she knows everything and it's like she did she did she's saying this in the lawsuit
That's what they're saying allegedly
But at what point guys and I get it all we always hear is rumors
We never have proof every time it comes to these children who are the most neglected
People in this
freaking country.
We know it because of the border and the sex trafficking and all that.
When are we going to start listening to some of these people that the media and the left
consider crazy?
Kanye West tried to warn us about Jay-Z.
Cat Williams warned us about Jay-Z and Beyonce.
MIA told us about satanic rituals and I'm telling you from from experience and Adam knows this guy too
They do that type of stuff in Hollywood. I know people that have said firsthand Vinny. It's disgusting
I left I turned to Christianity and these people are not they were never Christians
Okay, they turned to it and like MIA all these people Jaguar right are any of these people are we ever gonna go?
Okay. Yeah, they're not crazy. Maybe they're right
Maybe they're right and did he at least he got arrested but all these people
Depending on the lawyer that you have and the money that you have the wealth that you have
It depends if you're gonna get in trouble and not and then what if this girl they're probably gonna settle out of court
Anyway, she'll probably get ten million dollars and they'll never see he'll never see jail ever and that's the saddest part. So
As the story goes it's the year 2000 and it's the video music
awards. And at an after party, Jay Z allegedly does this to a 13 year old girl. Okay. So I went
to year 2000. I saw what were the best songs back then. We're talking outcast, Miss
Jackson, Eminem, the real slim shady Jay Z big pimping. So you're telling me that after
a video music awards that ends at probably midnight, they get to an after party one,
two in the morning. Why is a 13 year old girl even there? Why is she even there?
Is nobody asking questions when she's in the room?
Who's bringing this person?
And then this lawsuit is brought up 24 years later out of nowhere with this Diddy allegations.
It smells like a shakedown.
It smells like terrorists are trying to get money from Jay Z.
The letter that he wrote was like, hell no, I'm denying this.
This ain't legit.
I'm not negotiating with terrorists.
Something tells me this is a complete shakedown.
We'll see how the facts shake out.
We'll see what happens.
But this doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
24 years later out of nowhere during the Diddy allegations.
Oh, by the way, JZ2
smells pretty shady.
Let me come to the argument, Adam. I've never been sexually assaulted or raped when I was
13. I have no idea what's happening, how fearful you are of these people, the fear, the shock
of going through this thing, probably not telling anybody. And then maybe when you see
people starting to come out, yeah, besides the money thing, I get parents and whatever,
and shame on them for even exposing them to that.
And I sent Rob a clip of Diddy flirting with a freaking 13-year-old actress,
DeVay Chase, going, hey, you going to the after party?
I don't know what goes on in these trauma lives,
like these lives of these people that have gone through the trauma, who knows?
But if it is true, the sad thing
is it might not ever be held accountable.
This is him inviting a 13-year-old girl to the after party.
I sent you a longer clip of Robbie at the beginning, but it was at some award show,
but play that one Robbie just so they can hear.
Come to the after party, you know.
13 years old.
Well that's different.
Yeah, no, I do it so good.
I just want so good.
I just want to say, uh...
Why would you want to invite a 13-year-old to that?
Well, because he's a dirtbag.
That has nothing to do with Jay-Z.
Hold on.
So why are we looping in Jay-Z?
They all hang out together.
Hold on.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
They hang out together.
Hold on.
Nice try.
Have you ever heard...
And Adam, do you know about the hip-hop world?
Have you ever heard the rumors about how young... do you know when Jay-Z met Beyonce?
18 years old?
I'm not saying anything, but these people,
that's the advantage.
He married her.
Yeah, she was 37 years old.
She was 28 when he married her.
So you don't think he thought she was hot
when she was 18 or 16?
I don't know what Jay-Z was thinking.
Adam, birds of a feather flock together, bro.
You're acting like these people don't all do the same shit.
You're doing something very dangerous here.
No I'm not.
Let me ask you a question. You're looping No I'm not. Let me ask you a question.
You're looping in Jay-Z.
Let me ask you a question.
I don't trust any of them.
Diddy.
That's my opinion Adam.
Let me ask you a question.
Were Jay-Z and Diddy ever best friends?
I wouldn't say best friends,
but they were close in New York for sure.
They hung out a lot.
It was Bad Boy and it was, yes, they were cool.
Did you ever watch?
They were never set of the same record label.
There were. There was a picture of them in Jay-Z, the kids long friendship The Kids Long Friendship in the Spotlight. Is this CNN or who is this Rob? This is CNN.
Go La Lure. So the chorus for John Deacon's Do You Like It Do You Want It which also features
Jay Z asking a prophetic question. Want to know what it's like to be me at the time zone
when it comes to wizard Sean Carter. our Purdue Businessmen top charts command, but there seems to be seemingly no rivalry back in 2009
Combs was asked by report if he remembered a photo showing him in a conversation with Carter
Combs explained the moment that he had been captured at his birthday party jay-z had flown in specifically to attend even though he had limited time
Combs record people see us as competitors and different icons in a hip-hop game
But that was just a moment of two black brothers telling each other how much they appreciate each other yours later as combs
Yeah, I mean look
if if you have guys
Who have reputations like this and you stay close to them?
I don't know if you had a reputation back then if you're in it people know
You know when someone's doing what they're doing like it's not like you don't know when someone's got a reputation back then. If you're in it, people know, you know, when someone's doing
what they're doing. Like, it's not like you don't know when someone's got a reputation
and what they're up to. It's very simple. The more you hang out with it, it's going to hurt you. Now,
if you think about it, when was the time Jay-Z met with Buffett? Can you type in the time Jay-Z
met with Warren Buffett? Mates with Warren Buffett. what year was that? What year was it when
they met? Was it 12 years ago, 10 years ago? What's the year when they met? First
time when he spoke to him.
2010, it looks like.
Okay, so that's 14 years ago when they met. And when did he distance himself from Diddy?
Like if you were to say when he distanced himself, when would you say they distanced themselves? Is it a 2010 thing? Because sometimes, here's how life
also works. He used to sell, didn't he sell wheat in the streets of New York?
Jay-Z's was a drug dealer. Jay-Z sold crack. Okay, so you go from that to then you make millions,
to then you make tens of millions,
to then you're now being approached by some smart people
that see that you're gonna be a billionaire
and wanna make money with you.
Then you're like, dude, I gotta recreate my brand
because my brand is this.
So then a publicist comes in and rebrands you.
Then you distance yourself from certain people
and get closer to certain people,
and then you're like, hey, you can't hang out
with this guy, with that guy, with this guy.
But unfortunately, if you did something with this guy
and it's following you, this many years later,
look, the way I read the letter,
here's what the letter read like.
Do you remember Alan Dorshowitz
when he was asked about Epstein?
He says, I actually want you to investigate it.
Have you ever seen this exchange when they're like, you remember this or no?
When he did it with the guy, Mohammed?
Yeah, and then he goes like this, he puts his arms up.
So he says, I want you to investigate.
I actually want you to go out there and investigate him.
What happened with Epstein?
I want you to do that.
Yeah, I want you to go through it. I want you to do your research and investigate him. And what happened with Epstein? I want you to do that. Yeah, I want you to go through it.
I want you to do your research.
Is that a power play?
Is that a position you take to kind of show strength?
Is that who maybe somebody's giving feedback
or is that really who Jay-Z is to say,
hey man, don't get me involved with names like this?
Who knows?
I don't know if I even see Jay-, myself, Diddy? I think I've
never, I've never been a fan of Diddy, never. He just never give me good vibes
with his biggie, whether it's Tupac any of that. I've never gotten that vibe from
Jay-Z, ever, that Jay was that kind of a guy. By the way, again, never hung out with
him, I've never met him, I've never met him. The only person I've been at a game with was Diddy not the other one
we're gonna see what's gonna happen but if this goes through the way does he
could could a part of this also be the fact that Diddy is going down the crab
theory you ever heard a crap theory when one tries to get out of a the the what
he called everybody else pulling back down it's just kind of like Diddy saying, hey man, yo, don't forget that night.
You and I know, you know what I know.
Don't do this, dog.
If you don't back me up and do this, I'm telling everybody, could this be Diddy's work behind
closed doors?
I don't know.
I just want to add one thing and this is, we got to be cautious.
You know, the whole guilty by association thing. Okay. So just because you're a rapper
and you're friends with another rapper doesn't mean that you did what the other rapper did.
So let's use a sports analogy. Tom Brady, greatest quarterback of all time. His tight
end was Rob Gronkowski. Grock, hold on.
There was actually two tight ends on that team
that won the Super Bowl.
One guy was named Aaron Hernandez.
Absolute scumbag who went to jail for murder
and I think he ended up killing himself,
I want to say, double murder.
That doesn't mean Tom Brady's guilty of anything.
That doesn't mean Rob Gronkowski.
What I'm saying is just because Jay-Z is a rapper
no no no friends with Tady doesn't mean that he did any of this. Humberto just send this go ahead and
play this is 20 24 years ago go ahead that ain't 20 years ago that's 2020 oh gotcha
2016 you know the game has been elevated you can pause it because they're
billionaire it's music but right next to each friends, and this is a billionaire brunch or something
But here's my question to Adam here class you one question. Let's just say it's true
Okay, this 13 year old girl is actually telling the truth. Okay doubles advocate
What's gonna happen to Jay-z because hold on before you answer? Yeah, Jeffrey Epstein
Hanged himself delay Maxwell is in jail for 25 years
for selling human beings, not one person.
We haven't seen one person go down,
so that means we all know that everybody's involved.
Cut to Diddy, Diddy's the hip hop Epstein.
Who's gonna go down?
Do you think any, no names,
I don't think anything's gonna happen.
If it is true, and this poor girl was raped
by these people at this party, what's gonna happen to it is true and this poor girl was raped by these people at this party
What's gonna happen to the people involved be honest?
But let me put it to you this way nothing
Anything actually did happen. It's disgusting. It's violent everyone should be in jail for life
But if they didn't do it, okay, what then happen? They should be there you can apologize
So it's so easy we live in in a day, we live in a
times when anything can anybody and then we get on the airwaves and we're like, he's a scumbag.
You have no fucking you're putting words in my, I never accuse him of anything. Anyone that just
based saying, did he? We've seen tons of proof. But what if Jay-Z is better at covering his tracks,
Adam? Some people are better. He's out there. I'm just saying.
I didn't accuse anybody of anything.
But if it is true, if it is true, they should burn.
I agree.
If it is true, but if it's not, you should retract your statement.
By the way, yesterday, yesterday, I'm talking to John Gatto Jr.
He's on the podcast.
We're doing a long interview together.
And he's telling me the times that he fought Rico
and then his father, the Teflon Don, he'd walk out.
First man ever to beat Rico was John Gotti.
Yep.
His father.
Yeah, I remember.
Right?
And it comes out, it's like, hey, look at this,
you know, and all this other stuff.
But, and then the last hour and a half, it's his defense.
Rob, would you say about an hour and a half?
That's a good amount, yeah.
He makes a case on why his meeting with the FBI,
the Feds, the 40 minute meeting he had with the Feds,
was not being a rat.
That's the case he made.
Because he was going after Sammy,
and then he says, but my meeting with Feds,
so it's kind of like going back and forth.
And by the way, this is the case with everybody in that world, the level of pride for Omerta.
You let your, my interpretation, you let the Gambino family, the Bonanno family, the Colombo
family, you let them down, right?
You let them down, okay.
But the one story was when this lawyer figured out a way
to use Rico to go after all the guys and how many got arrested on the same day.
Let me tell you though, if Diddy goes down, I'll give you guarantee Vinny,
if Diddy goes down and he's alive, you're going gonna see a picture of 50, 100 people going down.
Hope so.
I genuinely hope so. If Diddy goes down,
100 people are going down.
So you know what the only solution is?
They have to Epstein Diddy before any of this stuff leaks.
Or Maxwell Diddy, that for whatever reason,
she's in jail and she's checkmailed.
No way because
there because because Maxwell doesn't have the kind of power Diddy had okay
Maxwell doesn't have the kind no you're right but Maxwell doesn't have the kind
of money that Diddy has. Maxwell's a woman that wants protection. Diddy's a
man that has dirt on everybody. They can't let him live.
I'm telling you, if let's just say all these stories
are right, if let's just say NBA players,
political folks, everybody, and then Cash Patel
and Trump and those guys just won, let me tell you,
the whole hip hop game may be going through
a entire set of crisis
that you've never seen before, if he's right.
And this is also us seeing life play out fully documented.
In the old days, the Rat Pack got together
and there were rumors that the Rat Pack
and the Rat Pack were Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra,
Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Laufford,
and I think there was one more.
Anyway, that was the-
Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra.
Right, and they were alleged, they had alleged,
gone to party-
Joey Bishop.
Joey Bishop.
Went to parties and pulled people in there,
including Hollywood starlets, and bad things happened.
It was not a documented era
of camera phones. It wasn't where every time you run around a corner, there is documentation.
And I appreciate you are innocent until proven guilty. And these are merely allegations that
are being made by a third party against Jay Z. What What does not help Jay-Z, and he knows it,
is not one picture, but multiple pictures showing you,
and other witnesses who have said,
yeah, Jay-Z was at the party.
They didn't say, I saw him in a room do this.
But they're saying, Jay-Z was at the party.
I remember this party and this party.
This was the AMA awards.
This party was NBA All-Star game.
And you're seeing pictures. That doesn't help Jay-Z, and it's a warning to people today
who you hang with and the parties you go to
and the infinite life of any documentation at party
is a warning to everybody today.
Well, we'll see.
All I know is if one goes down, everybody's going down.
He ain't gonna sit there and not pull everybody else down with him.
There's no question that.
That I agree with.
Yeah.
Okay.
Next story here.
Syrian rebels topple Assad.
Transforming the Middle East.
This is a Reuters story and we've been hearing about this all over the place.
You know Netanyahu wails, historic fall of Bashar Assad in Syria, credits Israeli attack
on Hezbollah,
Iran, Raab, whichever one of these clips you want to fire off, you know, stories on Elon
Musk's or tax dollars are somehow funding both sides.
I mean these are back to back to back stories.
If you want to play, let me just read this one here and then we'll go to Netanyahu's
clip. Syrian rebels led by Abu Mohammed al-Gholani
captured Damascus unopposed ending more than five decades of Assad family rule. Gholani
addressed a crown of Omayyad, mosque, Kremlin, new history, my brothers being written in
this entire region after this great victory and pledged to build a beacon for the Islamic
nation thousands celebrated in Damascus chanting freedom and reclaiming public spaces while
freed prisoners ran through the streets declaring we topple the regime.
The overthrow of Bashar al-Sadda disrupted Russian and Iranian influence in the Middle
East with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling it a direct result of blow.
Israel dealt to Iran and Hezbollah.
Rob, if you have that clip, you can play it.
Assad location remains unknown, with Russian officials confirming he fled Syria.
Hezbollah, a key ally, withdrew all remaining forces from Syria and Iranian-backed sites,
including in Damascus, were reportedly targeted by Israeli strikes even after Assad's capture.
Here's Netanyahu. Assad's main supporters. It set off a chain reaction of all those who want to free themselves from this tyranny and its suppression. But it also means we
have to take action against possible threats. One of them is the collapse of
the Separation of Forces Agreement from 1974 between Israel and Syria. This
agreement held for 50 years. Last night it collapsed. The Syrian army abandoned
its positions. We gave the Israeli army the order to take over these positions
to ensure that no hostile force embeds itself right next to the border of Israel.
This is a temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is found.
Equally, we send a hand of peace to all those beyond our border in Syria, to the Jews, to the Kurds, to the
Christians, and to the Muslims who want to live in peace with Israel. We're going to follow events
very carefully. If we can establish neighborly relations and a peaceful relations with the new
forces emerging in Syria, that's our desire. But if we do not, we'll do whatever it takes to defend
the state of Israel and the border of Israel.
Tom?
I think that's pretty clear.
I think what he's talking about, and Adam helped me out here on history, he's talking
about the Golan Heights area.
The Golan Heights area was effectively a DMZ because Syria attacked Israel from that position and
was pushed back and so Israel when they pushed people back they established that
land as a military patrol zone so that was Israel permanently sitting on what
used to be part of Syria in the Golan Heights to set that up and so they're
they're basically saying,
hey, we're gonna be, if you believe Netanyahu,
it says, there's a lot of different,
and he's pointing out the complexity.
What did he say?
There's Druze, there's Christians,
Kurds, and by the way, Muslims that are,
mostly the agrarian Muslims who are out there, farms and things like that,
that really don't want anything to do with the conflict.
They just wanna live like everybody else
is living out there.
And I see positive signs in this, but make no mistake,
what he's talking about is we are stepping over
into Golan Heights, into what used to be sort of a DMZ,
and we're gonna maintain a buffer there.
That is going to make a lot of people cringe because now that's they're going to see that
as almost like the permanent Jewish settlements.
And I think Netanyahu knows that.
But nonetheless, that's what's going on there.
So there's so much to unpack here.
I'll unpack it.
We try to go very quickly. So Syria is the new powder keg that caused World War I.
And it has the potential to be an absolute free for all.
So Bibi Netanyahu, let's start with that.
He talked about neighborly relations.
Look at Israel's neighbor and the issues that are surrounding Israel. I've said this multiple times, Israel is the nicest
house in the worst neighborhood. In their neighborhood you have Hamas, you have
Hezbollah, you have the Syrian terrorists, you got Al-Qaeda, you got ISIS, and these
are their neighbors. Imagine those are your neighbors, how you would act as the
only democracy in the Middle East. So he says he wants to establish neighborly
relations. This is what's going on all around him. So you know they say that How you would act as the only democracy in the Middle East? So he says he wants to establish neighborly relations
This is what's going on all around him. So, you know, they say that truth passes through three phases
First you're ridiculed then you're violently opposed then is except
Accepted as self-evident Israel is the only stable
Government in that entire region over there
I'm not talking about the Gulf with Kuwait and UAE and Saudi and Qatar over there. I'm not talking about the Gulf
with Kuwait and UAE and Saudi and Qatar over there. Hello, PBD. So in 10 days, 10
days, the 50-year rule of the Assad's toppled. Now where's Assad now? Political
asylum in where? Moscow, Russia. Oh, thanks, Putin. How do you get so aligned with Putin? Well, do you know the story of the Al-Assad regime, PBD? Yeah. What do
you know? Tell us. Okay. So his father, who was the Syrian president, I believe in
1971, I'm gonna give you his name, Hafiz Al-Assad, his soon power, you know,
no problem. He is Alawite. Do you know no problem he is al-await
do you know what al-await is so there's the Sunnis and the Shiites and the
al-awaits I guess are an offshoot of the Shia Muslim I think they're only 10% of
Syria so the ruling class the elite class in Syria that is predominantly
Sunni even Shiite as well so they're sort of like the rich kids who took
al-await you said it was?
Alawite, exactly.
I thought that was a brand of socks.
All right.
Thank you, Tom.
Alawite is kind of like Baha'i.
Baha'i, exactly.
Yes, go for it.
So, and they-
It's like Mormonism for Christians.
Okay.
And so they, he came to power with the Ba'ath party in 1971, centralized power, aligned himself
with USSR during the Cold War. So we'll go back to Russia
He was in power from I believe 1971 to 2000 in the mid 90s
Bashar al-assad's brother was supposed to take over the eldest son Basel al-assad
But he unfortunately died in a car accident. So here's this guy Bashar al-assad the number two son
You know the number one son usually assumes power. Do you know what his role was before he became this dictator in Syria?
Do you know what he was? He was an eye doctor. He had no political aspirations. He was studying to
become an eye doctor. His brother was supposed to be the king and the ruler. Boom, his brother dies,
car accident. He assumes power. So he's the he's the president dictator 10 years in 10 years 2011. Do you remember what happened in the Middle East in 2011? The
Arab Spring. All these countries starting with I believe Tunisia were crying for
democracy. So in Egypt Hosni Bararak was the president, 30 year run came to an end.
Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, boom, he's out. So Yemen, Syria,
all of these civil wars take place in the Middle East. Hundreds of thousands of people have been
dead in Syria alone. Do you know how many people died in the civil war? Half a million. Did you see
all the college protests about Syria and Lebanon and Yemen? zero college protests nothing going on. No Jews. No news anyway
So half a million people dead in Syria
Zero word whatsoever half a people have a million people done in Yemen zero word whatsoever
The double standard is palpable. We all know that so boom as everything that's taking place over the last year and a half takes place
Russia's fighting Ukraine, they're preoccupied. Israel is fighting Iran, the Houthis, Hezbollah,
Hamas, they're all preoccupied. The Iranian axis of resistance has basically met their foe in the
form of the IDF. And all of a sudden, when these Sunni rebels say, listen, guys, here's our chance.
Let's do it.
Let's go.
They take Aleppo, boom, two days done.
They take homes, boom, done.
They come for Damascus in 10 days.
The entire Syrian government dissolved.
Bashar al-Assad runs out to Russia.
He asked them for help.
He asked Iran for help.
They said, sorry, we have no money.
We have no troops.
We've basically been disabled by the IDF.
He asked Russia for help.
They said, sorry, we're fighting Ukraine.
So low and hold, all the money that we've been spending helping our allies actually
helped sort of topple this ridiculous regime.
Have you ever seen the video? Have you ever seen any of the videos of what Bashar al-Assad did to his own people, gassing them, murdering
them, lining them up? Syrian Nazis is who Bashar al-Assad is. So do I have any sympathy
for Bashar al-Assad? Zero. Here's the question. Who are the biggest winners and losers of
all this? The biggest loser by far, loservilleerville Iran the Islamic Republic of Iran. They've been funding
Billions of dollars to these Islamic terrorists all over the Middle East Hamas Houthis
Hezbollah, they're all finished. They're done. The Syrian regime Bashar al-Assad was their number one benefactor. They're done
So number two loser here, Russia,
they've been weakened completely. Who are the winners here? Well, the Syrian people.
They have a chance to carve their own path here. If they want democracy, if they want to have a
path for an amazing life, here's their chance to take it. Now, will there be Islamists? Will
there be jihadists? Will there be extremists, basically, that try to take over the country?
Of course, but the USA.
Do you know USA has bombed, I think,
70 different ISIS locations in the last few days?
Israel has come in, they already own the Golan Heights,
they came into the highest mountain in the region,
I think it's called Mount Haramon in Syria,
looking straight down at Damascus.
They're basically saying, okay ISIS, okay extremists, you want to go or rain fire down on you. So this is going to reshape
the Middle East. This is what's going to happen. So here's the challenge because Elon Musk said the
following. He said, our tax dollars are somehow funding both sides. Yes. Have you ever seen that
Spider-Man meme when they're all just pointing at each other?
Good luck. Do you want the devil that you know or the devil that you don't know? Do you want authoritarians?
Do you want dictators running a country or do you want Islamists and you want jihadists? I don't know. I don't know
I don't trust any of them
But what I do know is I hope the Syrian people take this opportunity to carve a life that they want and not dictated
by authoritarians.
Thank you for unpacking that.
You're a student of this.
Can I ask you a question?
So if the US election went the other way, what happens to Bashar?
Does he get help or not get help?
Because right now with Trump, I could see how the Russians are like yeah you can you want to get an apartment here
Maybe you can get an apartment here, but we're not going to jump in and help you militarily
I don't know. I don't know what what happened, but what I do know is this the the the man who is the head of the
HTS is what they're called
Abu Mohammed al-jewani
He was a former ISIS al-Qaeda member, and he has
basically come out and America said he's saying all the right things. He did an interview, I think,
with CNN. He said the following, we do not seek to be America's enemy. We do not have extremist
ideology. Minorities are welcome. If you're Christian or if you're Alawite, you can celebrate Christmas.
We'll see if that happens. I just saw them executing Christians on video.
Exactly. So we'll see if that happens. What is encouraging, I would hope, is he's more of an
advocate of Syrian nationalism than pan-national jihadism. So in other words, he's trying to make Syria Syria great
again. We'll see what they well first of all, CNN interviewed that guy Julani. He's fighting the
Assad regime. They make him look like he's a cool guy. Just like with Soleimani. They said he's a
freedom fighter. He's a moderate. He has a $10 million bounty on his head by us. And now all of
a sudden, we're praising his ass.
He's wanted for a bunch of massacres, but we'll talk about that later. My problem is,
in the past seven days, Biden has pledged to give another billion dollars to rebuild
Africa, another billion dollars, another billion while Ukraine, while everything is happening.
And now he wants to help rebuild Syria, Tom, with God knows how much money. Meanwhile,
you guys remember that little hurricane that hit North Carolina?
I'm seeing videos every day.
They're homeless, they're suffering, and they're freaking dying in the streets.
But let's not forget how this whole Syria situation happened.
Do you guys remember that little CIA covert operation called Timber Sycamore where Obama
and Brennan sent the freaking CIA in there to overtake Assad?
And guess what? They failed. And they left all the weapons there and what happened Tom?
ISIS is formed and all these people are formed and some people would say arming
the enemy is treason. I mean if you want to just say that but I just think when
it comes to that and we have experience because we're Middle Eastern like
Saddam Hussein as much as he was an evil murdering piece of scum
and so were his kids, they needed him. Like it's weird to say, I know my cousin's married to an
Iraqi woman. She was crying. She's like, Vinny, everything was okay. He knew how to keep everybody
at bay. Saddam Hussein, they took him out and look what the hell happened. Look what happened when
you took that guy out. And this is a direct result of it. Now they took out Assad, I don't know man, and look you're already seeing Christians
getting freaking crucified. We're going to be screwed. The Christians there are going
to get effed over.
These are Christians by the way over there Rob if you want to play this clip.
There you go, that's what you get for loving Jesus Christ. And they love this regime, right? United States is like, yeah, he's better than Assad.
I guess it's gonna happen to these guys after that video. So I don't know.
You know what I want to say? I don't want to hear shit about bashing Israel anymore.
Who's America's ally in the region? For sure Israel. Who else? You trust Syria? You trust Lebanon?
Jordan. You trust the Palestinians? You trust Jordan? You trust Lebanon? Jordan? You trust the Palestinians?
You trust Jordan? I don't know. We have a base there. You trust Afghanistan? You trust
Saudi? Maybe? I don't know. They probably, so we're a part of 9-11. I'm not saying Israel
is some innocent bystander that has never done anything wrong, but enough's enough here.
Israel is the only country in the Middle East that is stable, that can basically help US, our vested interests, our best interests aligned, and we trust Israel.
But you know, the Netanyahu today, their leader isn't, he's going on trial today for the fraud,
breach and trust for accepting bribes and stuff. He's actually, he's testifying today.
So is Trump, buddy. Enough's enough.
I don't know why you're getting mad. I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
Jeez, relax. I'm just saying all this is happening, buddy. Enough's enough. I don't know why you're getting mad. I'm just saying.
I'm just saying all this is happening.
The guy's actually going on trial because he was supposed to go on trial October 7th.
He's finally going on trial today.
Why are you getting mad at me?
I'm just saying he is the Trump of Israel.
So if you want to criticize, then Yahoo!
Criticize Trump.
Okay.
I wouldn't put him in the same category.
All right.
So meanwhile, Assad, Snowden, and a song are all looking for a fourth
So they can play bridge. That's basically that
Exactly. All right. Let's do the last story before we wrap up Rob if you want to go because my voice is getting
Usopp kill as you that's very sh gangster, but then bedroom
Rob play the clip with Anna Navarro whooping Goldberg having a friendly exchange
over
Whether it's time to panic about Trump.
I love this. Go ahead, Rob. He does this to keep you all in a panic. He does it to make you all do
this and talk about him. It is so terrible. But all we have to do from now until January 21st
is be with our families, be with our kids,
do our jobs, make sure our checks don't bounce,
make sure that we are taking care of ourselves
and our families.
Whatever he's going to do, he's going to do,
but do take our word for it.
Things seem to move slowly because yeah,
they didn't come get Hillary.
But he has other people who are ready to go.
But I don't think that they can just go out
and do what they want.
I told you last week I disagree with you when you say that.
No because we have a lot of people same that because we're legal we are successful
We are any legal immigrant in this country you get the hell out be not in a panic
I'm you are a woman working for the Department of Defense
You have a right to be in a panic you tell people to stay fraught and like this
That is not telling people to prepare will be they to prepare. Do you think they're not prepared?
They are prepared.
So that means.
And I'm saying to people.
That means that they can't be relaxing
and enjoying Christmas.
No, it doesn't mean that.
When winter is coming.
No, it doesn't.
You know what?
Winter's here.
I'm sorry.
Winter is here.
Winter's been with us.
And my point is, we can lay down
and do nothing for the next 15 days
and then be freaking out for the next four or two years.
But my point is, listen.
We are in a privileged position
that a lot of people who are going to be under attack.
I have a family who is going through the same thing.
I want him to let me listen.
I'm not panicking.
Like we just have to live.
We have to live.
Oh, I hate them all.
We don't know what we're panicking for.
I love this, Rob.
They're throwing 50,000 things at you to make you do this.
I'm saying don't buy into that.
Which one is quiet?
Do what you have to do.
You know why?
Eating their own.
Eating their own.
I love it.
And when we know what it is.
Why is that one girl quiet?
Because she doesn't want to read a legal statement tomorrow.
Yeah, exactly.
Because she's the one they make look in the camera and read the legal
state. You're actually right. Sonny Houston was pretty quiet. Why? Not entirely. These
lawyers come and tell me what to say. I'm done with it. You see the mentality whoopies
like guys, it's going to, whatever's going to happen was going to happen. And then the
viral is like, yeah, but what about people that are illegally in this country? They're
going to panic as they should. You broke the law by coming into our
freaking country and she goes, especially if they're in the DOJ, what? Illegals are
working in the DOJ? This, I watched this tent. This is what I, you know, people have those
sleep machines where they hear like white noise and they, I was watching that this was
making me happy and I fell asleep to these idiots eating their own. I love this.
Oh, we're successful. How dare you call yourself successful. You
haven't built a business. You haven't built jobs. You haven't sweating, putting people,
you know, and getting paychecks for people. You're not successful. You're well paid celebrity.
There's a difference, Chick. Yeah. And the division division. These are the ones that
cause the division that we were talking about to begin the show. It's that it shows like
this. This is one.
And I wish one day the camera would flip.
I'm going to tell you, after Tom's comment, I feel like I'm in some Chick-fil-A.
Really?
Go ahead.
Go ahead, Adam.
No, I'll just say one thing.
I've never watched one episode of The View.
Nobody has.
Stop it.
Never once.
Adam.
Adam.
I'm a lifetime subscriber.
At your desk.
I just learned that Vinny falls asleep watching The View.
I love it.
