We got some dark money being sent to Democratic influencers, which is very interesting, paying them $8,000 a month. This is a New York Post story.

And apparently they came up with a list of some of the names that they're speculating. Correct or not, we don't know. Obviously, we have to discuss the tragic event that took place with the transgender Minneapolis shooter exposes the spiritual world, Fair in America, we got many, many stories with that one, many videos and things to react to with that one. Gavin Newsom on another interview, I think every time he goes and does these interviews, it's almost like he's pleading for people to feel sorry for him. I can't tell you how

many times people send me Trump 2028 hats. They send me two more the other day. Do you realize like a troll when they see that? That's like an opening. It's like, thank you. I know how to upset this guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a thousand of them sent to him the next couple weeks. Not something to do. Let's send him a future like bright hat. You know what he did the other day? He said, you know how tough it is when somebody calls you New Scum?

The next day that new scum was trending on X. Stop talking about it. You'll bring any attention to it. But he's definitely out there campaigning to be the president. Beverly Hills Unified school district board members vote to fly Israel flags inside their schools. Federal Reserve Governor

Lisa Cook sues Trump. Tom's got a lot of things to say about that. Trump looks terrible. Why won't the press ask him what's wrong? A lot of people are talking about his hand, health, videos going around saying he's not doing well. Trump's approval rating up five points. Vanity Fair. Staff. Ready for this, folks? Threatens to walk out the mother effing door if Melania Trump is on the cover. Can you imagine that? You're working there. They're thinking about putting Melania Trump, the first lady on the cover. I'm going to Walk out if you put her on that magazine. In a heartbeat, I'm not only going to put her on the cover.

I'm going to put it on the back in the middle, posters in the office. Make sure that girls' desk to say, you don't make the decisions here, buddy. We're going to make that on the cover of it. And it would improve the quality of the magazine if all those people left. Yeah. Trump's D.C. takeover caused violence, ready for this, to plummet 45%. Dem Mayor admits, as residents, biz owners say, we feel much more safe. shocking poll shows how many Americans

really back Trump's military takeover of top crime-written cities. I got a poll. I got a stat I want to share with you guys that I shared, I think yesterday, I don't know when it was. A couple days ago when I shared it about, Rob, if you have that one, mass shooting rates, by demo from 2015 to 2025,

and it breaks down Native Americans, Hispanics, whites, we'll get to this, black, Asian, trans, non-binary. Wait to see some of these stats here. Again, I said we got some things or Newsom, we got a lot of stuff there. U.S. tariffs on India hit 50% as Donald Trump and Modi

ties sour. Modi ignoring Trump's call after tariff crisis. That's interesting. Annunciation, Catholic, School, Schultzheny, Minneapolis, what we know about the suspect. Of course, we got a lot of things to talk there. Iran, after the shock of war, Iranians yearning for change.

They want a revolution, something to change with a new person taken over. I wonder who that's going to that's going to go out there and do the work for that to become a reality. Maybe someone's going to be able to go out there and make some noise, but we'll see. Russia warning, as Vladimir Putin close to first nuclear bomb test in 35 years, you think maybe he's sending a message to a guy right next to him, that's a good dancer? Maybe, who knows?

And by the way, Russia's at a point right now where this story is a very interesting story. New York Post, they're at a point right now in Russia that they're recruiting the last chance for soldiers with HIV and STDs, with promises of free health care if they fight against Ukraine. I mean, some of these things, it's just, you're not going to be able to fix some of the things that these guys are dealing with,

but it is what it is. Maybe the way they're going to scare them, they're going to be like, I'm going to spread this on you, I'm going to do something. I don't know. I don't know the strategy behind it, but I'm sure they're thinking about some strategies.

U.S. economy surges past expectations as spending investment soar. The economy expanded 3.3% in Q2, with growth even stronger than initially thought and jobless claims edged down to 229. And last Wednesday, we didn't cover the Little Nas X stories. So we definitely have to go to that for Vinny to share what happened there. And we're excited about that story.

I know it's a lot of exciting clips, you know, when he's walking around in his white thong or whatever you want to call it. With his boots, white boots. And then, you know, something happened, which I appreciate. I think we need more of this that I don't think we do enough. I think this is what's missing in American politics that we just need to get down to business. Mexico senators fight during session

over speaking rights. It's awesome. When you see it, please share this with a local senator of yours and get a little bit tougher, you know, we need some more eyeballs when senators get together. And these guys actually kept going,

fighting, guys shooting, you know, pushing the camera guy down, the sound guy like Kevin James from that he's holding. It was like, dude, I'm not even doing anything. That guy gets pushed to the ground and he's standing over him. You got us. It's great highlights. And you know how four weeks ago we went to L.A. for the Jubilee thing, the Jubilee Rob.

I don't know if you have that clip from Jubilee. I want to show you because they just told us. We didn't even know when it was going to come out. But it's coming out this Sunday. I hung out with 20 of my best friends in the world. And I actually, I have to tell you, I enjoyed it. And the first one, she just went after me hard. Listen to this one.

Go ahead. The United States of Patrick Bud David. This is the United States of America. Would you take money from a capitalist to help you go see special? I mean, yeah, sure, why not? But would you also be open to seeing somebody else I choose as a psychologist that may... No. You're not.

No. When you're offering people here jobs, right? You're saying that. They would have to pay you money to get that. So in reality, you're trying to convince them to pay you money to be part of your company. Be very careful defamement. We know you don't know the fact. My first claim is incentive is the engine of capitalism.

Remove it and the system fails. My next claim is capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system. My next claim is if all the money in the world were divided equally, it would return to the same pockets within five years. My final claim is the U.S. is more socialist and capitalist today. If you hate the system, you're anti-socialist. I'm Patrick Bid David. I'm an entrepreneur and founder of PPD podcast.

Today I'm surrounded by 20 anti-capitalists. There you go. I was there. Sunday. Sunday, it comes out. I don't know what time, but apparently Sunday is going to come out. I'm so disconnected from it that I myself want to see it to see what happened because some of these guys were screaming, upset, you know, one guy was there, he was Adam's favorite, you know, she was very, you know, she was there and we said, we spoke, but, but the reality of it was it was awesome. Okay, it was awesome. Handful of them were educated, you know, telling history and it was actually very, very good exercise. I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to doing many of these. So, some, Sunday, sometimes this will come out.

more access videos, all that other stuff. And especially last week when we posted a video with Tom doing the push, what do you call it, benching 135 pounds, absolutely crushed it. Killed it, Tom. You're the new mayor now. And I got so much hate telling me I was doing half bench presses. So I have to go and do it again. And I'm going to pause and I'm going to do this and I'm going to pause.

And what I'm probably going to do after today is I'm going to do that with a pause to see how many I'll do. but it'll be only on a circle. I'm going to do a pause. We're like, how are you doing? And then boom. But also you do the whole leg up, like this whole deal. This is a different thing. They're saying, I'm not going straight enough.

And I like being challenged. So maybe if I do straight arms, I can only do three of them, four of them. But we'll test it up. We'll test it up. I think you can still be your thing. Okay. All right. So let's get into the story.

Let's get into the story. Let's get into the story. First story I want to get into is the tragic event that took place in Minneapolis. Okay. Annunciation Catholic. school shooting in Minneapolis, what we know about the suspect. Rob, is this a video you got on it, or is this something I'm reading? I do.

I have some video. Let me just read this to you in, and I'll come to you, Rob. So the suspected shooter of Annunciation Catholic School, Minneapolis, identified by law enforcement sources as Robert or Robin Westman. Jake Tapper likes to call him Robin. Open fire during a morning mass in Wednesday, killing two children and during 17 others, including 14 children with two in critical condition, according to police reports. Court record records indicate that in 2019, a juvenile named Robert Westman, whose mother, Mary Grace Westman, was the parish secretary annunciation until her 2021 retirement legally changed their name to Robin with the mother stating minor child identifies as female and wants her name to reflect that identification.

Police described the attacker as a male dressed in black carrying a black rifle who committed suicide after the shooting with Minneapolis police department stating there's no active threat. to the community at this time and shooter is contained the suspect's relationship to the school remains unknown and is unconfirmed whether Westman had any connection to school students or staff, though disturbing YouTube videos, since deleted and unverified by authorities, posted under the name Robin Westman showed handwritten notebook, pages and weapon with messages painted on them. Go ahead, Rob. The Minneapolis Star Tribune just as another piece of the puzzle as to who the shooter was. The Minneapolis Star Tribune says, according to court records, because there's been some confusion about what the shooter's name was. Yes. Robin Westman's mother applied to change her child's name in 2019. It was at one point Robert Paul Westman.

Correct. But since she identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification was underage, it's now Robin Westman. You're still doing that. And you're wondering why, Rob, can you pull up that data? and then I'm going to go to a couple of you guys. Tom, I'm going to come to you first. Can you pull up that stat?

Check this out, folks. So this is data showing mass shooting rates by demo from 2015 to 2025. Look at the one to the left. Trans non-binary is the highest. Then it's Asians. Then it's blacks. Then it's whites. Then it's Hispanics.

Like Hispanics, this is not anything they do. Then it's Native Americans. Not at all. But why is that? Why are we not paying attention more to, data to see what's going on here. You think we could prevent maybe some of these things have happened in the future? You know how many parents are concerned nowadays? I'm at a game the other day with another parent. And this parent who's got his daughter there, 13-year-old

daughter, tall, she's come and talking to us. There's a couple thousand people there. The entire time he's looking on, hey, look at that guy. Who is that guy? Do you know that guy? Why is that guy walking around? Why is this guy doing this? He was so paranoid the entire time. I said, what's your concern? And he says, what do you mean? What's my concern? Are you not worried about all the school shootings that's happening? This was a week ago.

Now this happens. Parents are truly worried about what's going on because they don't want to see something like this happen at their school. Tom, your thoughts on this story here. So I have a couple different thoughts. My wife is a teacher. And she's at a school here in Fort Lauderdale. She does training every year, lockdown training, God bless the entrepreneurs that are inventing new devices that are helping,

that are quick locks and things to help contain schools and things. But we talk about this every year. And there's two elements here that really that anger her and anger me. And the first element is the way the Democrats handle this. And I'm not making it political. I'm just describing. The playbook, find a victim, politicize it, push that victim against conservatives as being absolutely, you know, repressed.

And trans is the new victim. Protect trans, politicize trans, push them against conservatives. Conservatives are trying to repress the trans. Well, look, that may be a tremendous effort of change that happened in 1968 with civil rights legislation when it was needed. Now you're finding made-up victims, and we're not getting to the root cause. There are some people who are trans that really are sexually confused and are peaceful people

and they don't know what's up and they feel this way and so they want to be this. There's other people. The data is in. The data is here. That there is a number of people and it is a significant percent of people in the trans community who are trans

and talk about it. Friends of trans talk about it that say there's something going on, that there's something deeper and emotional and troubling. The data is in now. In Tennessee it was a trans shooter. Now in Minneapolis, it was a trans shooter. This is bothersome because you see it in the people.

They need help. They need assistance and need people to come alongside. They don't need the mom right now refusing to cooperate with authorities on interviews. Right now, the mother of the shooter, this morning, two different articles I read, is allegedly refusing to cooperate with authorities and ask questions as they are trying. The shooter's gone. The shooter took his reference. heard to as her by identification. He said, I'm identifying a woman. So Robert, identifying as Robin,

took his own life. He's gone. But they're trying to get to the mother. They want to talk to her, not in her moment of grief. They want to understand this. The police, this is like FBI profilers. They want to understand what's going on here. And we as a nation, the media is flying, absolutely staying in lockstep with the liberal Democrats, find a victim, politicize it, push it against conservatives, they are the ones repressing it. No, in this case, that's what's going on. We have data, and in the trans community, we need to come together as a nation and say, wherever you are, if you're troubled, you've got things going on.

You need help. And then parents, as the ones that were prosecuted in Michigan, have to lock up their weapons. There's a responsibility there. But gun control is not the full answer here. You've got people that need help. Yeah, when you're seeing stories like this, that's what? That's a magazine called Eugene Weekly, Pat. And look at the subliminal message.

Are you triggered? And they put, as the Trump administration attacks trans people, some queer folks are armed and ready to push back. That's the playbook. What the hell are you talking about? Conservatives are repressing you. You need to fight back. And look at that symbol.

What are you trying to say, bro? Bro, because that's a bro. Mumat. Like, what are you talking about? Or do they know what's going on in their minds? By the way, can you get to that one video I sent you, Rob? This is a video of, say, you know, the trans guy, you know, the famous trans guy in TikTok, get angry. Oh, yeah.

Have you seen this guy? Oh, that guy scares the hell on them. Get angry. That guy's scared. Yeah, can you play, uh, uh, uh, I think that you had this to one. Oh, my God, this is so scary. Look at this. Angry.

Oh, God. Go out by a gun. Jeez. It's okay to be angry. Oh, my God. Got my face now. Oh. Oh.

Oh. If you try to stop me from going into a woman's bathroom... Excuse me, it's ma'am! Be the last mistake you ever make. It is ma'am! Find that anger. Yes, but those people. Hey!

Harness it to do good in the world. These are the things that guy drew up, killed those kids. Yep. This is what the female guy. This anger. We can just make a fucking done, man. This is not comedy. These are troubled people.

No question about it. Probably. My primary source of motivation. You want to call me, sir again? The thing is, you don't have to leave. You all know. Lose everything that I do. Cut that out now, or you'll go home.

That's when it first started. It was a call to action or call to arms. It's a star! Sorry. You want to fucking call me! Don't be afraid to show your anger. Oh my God. What is that?

Let me tell you, it's deeper and it's also spiritual thought. It's also spiritual, folks. No one wants to talk about it. There is a spiritual side to this, that these people in their confusion, in their gendered dysphoria are also, you don't tell me that that is normal, rational people. There is a spiritual side to this, and people who understand it know I'm speaking the truth. And I'm going to ask, Bob, Pat, remember you? And I've told Pat and the crew three times during his 11-minute video, and I had to watch it for context. Before I get into this, Pat, if you don't mind, this is just the beginning of the video.

So, guys, tell me... That's him. This is his voice at the beginning. He has a Walter White photo from Breaking Bad. He, by the way, his normal voice is like this, and I've got goosebumps right now, Pat. Tell me how demonic and possessed this voice is. This is the video he did before he went on to shoot.

Listen to this voice. At Grey Goose, we believe that pleasure is a necessity. That's why we craft the world's number one premium vodka in France, using only three of the finest natural ingredients. French winter wheat, water from Jean-Sachau. and yeast. With gray goose, we invite you to live in the moment and make time wait.

Sip responsibly. Oh, hi, buddy. Who's the best? You are. I wish I could spend all day with you instead. Uh, Dave, you're off mute. Hey, happens to the best of us. Enjoy some goldfish cheddar crackers.

Goldfish have short memories Be like goldfish That's him And then the video starts in his house Okay And there's three different instances, Rob, that we don't have to show right now But I want to say this right now

This is what makes people transphobic Okay, not your identity But the fact that you clearly have a mental issue And then it manifests into killing innocent people, innocent children praying in church that's what makes me transphobic not because you want to call yourself

Sarah and you were born John all right? And this guy, by the way, the mom co-signing and look about his, this wasn't random and listen to the mentality guys of how lost and confused this kid is. These are quotes from his manifesto I only keep the long hair

because it's pretty much my last shred of being trans I am tired of being trans I wish I never brainwashed myself I regret being trans. I wish I was a girl and I just know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we have today and I can't afford it.

Okay, this wasn't some happy or fulfilled person. All right, it was eating him alive by confusion, illness, and despair. And when you have a system, Pat, when the world is telling him, hey, it's okay, it's okay. Live your truth. You want to chop off your genitalia?

Go and do it. Hey, kids, is this what you want? Do it. And this is a pattern. All right? Minnesota, this guy, trans. Republican Party fire. gender fluid, national shooter, trans, Colorado Tesla arsonist, trans, Colorado shooter,

nine binary, Aberdeen shooter, trans, Denver shooter, trans, Iowa shooter, gender, trans, AMC, the guy that was stabbing, trans, okay? And we know, and this is the one thing that got me, me and Rob, we're talking about this, is it weird to anybody else? The moment this happens within one hour, we know who he is, his history, his family, his school, the videos, but when a guy, Thomas Crooks, who's kind of in the same, Hey here. No, I am. He shoots the president, Tom. We don't know nothing about the guy, and we still don't. I'm definitely staying here. And then you hear the guy's voice. And you know what? I thought about this. It's not their fault, okay? It's trans-confused mentally ill person's fault. It's the media. Okay? It's academia. And it's politicians who don't say, hey, you should stop. They promoted Tom. Like Tim Walz, the Minnesota's governor has turned his state. He turned it into a sanctuary. a place for kids to receive trans medical services.

And he bragged that making Minnesota a safe haven for trans people. And Pat showed the chart. I'm just, I'm just done. Guys, I am done enabling. I'm done pretending that this is just another lifestyle. It's not. They're mentally unstable. They need help.

They don't need us co-signing. They need actual psychiatrists. They need people to help them, not co-sign their freaking delusion. And the LGBT community, this is the T. The T's have single, handedly dismantled the progress that gay people have made to gain the public's trust. Shame on them. And all these guys that are, all these fake politicians saying, Pat, save your thoughts and

we don't need thoughts and prayers. Shame on you. Yes, the hell they do. Adam. No, you're absolutely right, Vinnie. Vinnie's absolutely right. So is Tom about the lack of God in society. So there's three types of genders.

And I think it's fair to say this. There's men, there's female, and then there's the mentally ill. And I think if we can't identify the fact that a lot of these shooters are trans and I'm dealing with massive, massive mental problems, what are we talking about here? You know, step number one is admit you have a problem. Here's something that we've talked about. I think Bill Maher made this famous about how every generation is becoming more and more LGBT friendly or identifying as that. And I got to be honest with you, we talk about every single topic here. nobody's scared of the ls the gs the bs we're focused squarely on the t's what is going on here

so all these shooters happened to be t we saw that previous stat i don't know if you could show that again rob just for the audience something's going on here with the t's how can we not address this so i broke it down to three there it is right there i broke it down to three major reasons why these school shooters happen and i would love to get your guys input number one there's just massive, massive hate and grievance and resentment and revenge and V for vendetta. I think we can all agree upon that. Number two is social isolation. They're isolated. A lot of it is sexual frustration. They don't know what's going on. They're young. They're 18. They don't know how to this outlet. And I'm assuming a lot of them haven't had sexual outlets to deal with any of this.

The last one is the biggest problem I think going on with all young people. It's a lack of meaning and purpose in your life. We covered this the other day about people don't have meaning anymore. They're looking for meaning. A lot of times you find meaning in community or in religion or in God or in family. COVID basically exacerbated this problem. But what happens is a lot of these kids, the average age of a school shooter is guess what age? 18. So they're high school seniors on average and they're filled with rage and resentment. And they lack meeting and purpose. And they write a manifesto, right? We talked about this.

And what I've uncovered is this following thing. They'd rather be dead and infamous rather than alive and irrelevant. And that's a shocking statement because all of them basically trace their inspiration to Columbine. Remember when that happened? I believe in 1999. So a lot of these people copycat Columbine and this is the only way that they're going to find infamy and fame. And I actually don't think we should talk about their names ever because you're giving them their shine when they deserve known of it.

But it doesn't help when the mother, you're 17, Pat, and the mother's like, you know what? Change your name. Do this. Your governor and all these people are making it. You got, it's your fault. Vinny, great point. They made this person.

I've talked about parents being held accountable. They should go to jail for a mass shooting. And people thought it was crazy a few years ago. Remember this? That's ridiculous. And then in Michigan, they actually threw parents, I think, jail for a shooting. Transparents, their weapons, that's exactly right. Transparence,

when they commit something like this, there's evidence. All right, so hold on what? You're on these medicine. What did RFK say? This is RFK. I believe yesterday where he talks about the amount of SSRIs connected to school shootings. Go forward. I certainly consider

mass shootings a health crisis, and we are doing for the first time real studies to find out what the ideology of that is. And we're looking for the first time at psychiatric drugs. You know, he's kind of mad. People have had guns in this country forever.

When I was a kid, we had shooting clubs at our school. People, kids, my classmates, other people, would bring a 22 rifle with their guns at school and park it in the parking lot. Nobody was shooting said there's never been a time in America, in the history of humanity. And people walked into a crowd, into a church, or a movie theater, or a school or a crowd of standards that just started randomly shooting. It's happening in our country. It's not happening around the world.

And there are many other countries that have comparable levels of guns that we have in this country. We had comparable levels in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and people weren't doing that. Something changed, and it dramatically changed human behavior. And one of the culprits we need to examine is whether the fact, that we are the most over-medicated nation in the world. And a lot of those are psychiatric drugs that have black box warnings on them that warn of suicidal and homicidal ideation. So we are doing those studies right now for the first time,

and we will have an answer. And by the way, you know what else he said he is, they're about to release as well, the link to autism. Did you see that? What they're about to release? They're about to release the report. But if you go on X and just type an RFK, autism, they're about to release what they figured out is the link to, is that, yeah, that's the one right there. Go ahead, Rob, from the beginning, if you could.

Probably, autism, if I could, just, I don't want to go too long because we have a lot of people, but the autism is such a tremendous horror show what's happening in our country and some other countries, but mostly our country. How are you doing on that? We are doing very well. We will have announcements as promised in. September. We're finding interventions, certain interventions now that are clearly, almost certainly causing autism. And we're going to be able to address those in September. It's such a big day. I'm looking forward to that day because there's something wrong when you see the kind of numbers that you have today versus 20 years ago. That's right. And those numbers,

what are those numbers about? In 1970, the biggest epidemiological study in history was done in Wisconsin, they looked at 900,000 children, and they were looking for autism. They knew what it looked like, and they were very, very precise about it, and they found an incident rate of 0.7, in other words, less than one per every 10,000 children. Today, our most recent numbers are one every 31 kids. It's probably actually much worse than that, Because California, which has the best collection system, is reporting one out of every 19 children, American children, as odds as one in every 12.5 boys.

It's gone from less than 1 in 10,000 in 1970, 1 in 12.5 boys. I think of those numbers. So there has to be something artificially causing this, meaning a drug or something. And I know you're looking very strongly at different things, and I hope you can come out with Edison as well. So one in 10,000... It's great that a guy like that is in there investigating this.

I just hope there's no games, no cover-up, no nothing. Just tell us what happened. Because, you know, one of the biggest things that we learned from the last time, the transgender typically linked to medication, what they're taking, what they're on. You have to find that if there's a pattern there. the entire time while I'm sitting here, all I'm typing is, what's the pattern amongst all the transgender shooters? What do we know about the pattern? Family and upbringing patterns.

Trouble childhoods are common. Many shooters come from broken families, divorce, or unstable home environments, exposure to domestic violence, or absent fathers. It's disproportionately reported. There is a pattern that is taking place. if you keep pitching women power and all this other stuff, you know, we are equals and we're this and we're that and we're this, guess what you're going to do? You're going to continue to have them broken families.

Women are going to be like, I don't need a man. There was a video the other day. They went to, it was Russia, I think it was. And they're walking around asking women, hey, do you see yourself equal as man? Would you want to? No, I don't want to do his job. I just want to be his wife.

Do you see yourself as equal? No, no. I don't want to be a man. I want him to do it. I just want to be. I can't do what he does. And it was such a constant. And you've seen these clips from back in the days where they're interviewing people.

Is the man the leader of the household? Yes, he is the leader of the household, not me. So if we continue going to this direction, these patterns are going to show up. I'm glad there is logic in the White House that's going to get to the bottom of this to see exactly what is taking place with these different issues. Let me get to the next story here that I got. Rob, can you pull up a couple of the clips? with Gavin Newsom.

So you know how a lot of people are wondering, they're asking the question, they're saying, is this guy posting the tweets or is somebody else doing it? Who is posting it? Who's sharing these things? I'm trying to find out. Is it really him? And people are like, no, it's probably him.

Democrats are like, no, it's probably all him. He's doing such a great job. Well, he finally was asked about it. And look what he said. I don't know if you guys have seen this or not. Rob, go on play this clip. Go for it. Personally approve the press office tweets that go out from your,

There is a little We have a kill switch Yeah So to the extent that I don't kill it Then I guess How many do you kill? Less every day Oh God

So now we know I'm not doing it Those are not him Of course not Somebody else is doing it for him It's not him doing it Other guys are sending it to him By the way while he's there

There's a few things that he said Everybody knows right now Guys just get ready You're going to see this face 24-7 and 2027. I just want you to get ready. 27-28 is going to be nonstop. This is going to be the Democratic candidate. Prisker is constantly trying to get in there. Prisker, in my opinion, is going to be the Jeb Bush that he's going to get all the money, like the $140 million, and then this guy's

going to come up and be the candidate that's going to fight. Now, it may be different. Prisker may have the momentum. Something may come out with this guy and embarrassing stories, but how many more embarrassing stories are going to come out than you're hooking up with your campaign manager your best friend's wife this guy, the amount of stories that's going to come up with this guy's endless. But this is him complaining about, Rob, is this the hat situation? Yes. Watch this one here.

You're not saying you think they're going to Republicans are going to stop. I don't think Donald Trump wants another election. Oh, God. Nobody clap. You think for a second you want, I have two dozen Trump 2028 hats. He's about to get a thousand. His folks keep sending me.

And you think he's going to run Who spends $200 million on a ballroom at their home and then leaves the house? What? What? He's trying to say the ballroom he's building. By the way, go to the ballroom at the White House, Rob, if you can show the clip. They're building a ballroom at the White House. And he's saying he's building a ballroom to not leave the White House because he doesn't want another election in 2025.

Oh, God. In 2020, whatever, 2028. That's the ballroom they're talking about at the White House. Nice ballroom. Beautiful. That many other presidents will be able to use. and Dana just confirmed that the UFC is going to be there. He flew back from the event.

So Trump's trying to bring something else to the White House that maybe we've not seen before. You know, he's bringing a complete different level. Is this the one about the... This is Caroline Levitt talking about who's funding the ballroom because it's coming from Trump and donors. Let me see it. Yeah.

Before we get to questions, I do have one other announcements from the White House and from the president. We are proud to announce that the construction of the new White House ballroom will begin. For 150 years, presidents, administrations, and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. President Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future

administrations and the American people. The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world. Yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world. leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building's entrance. The White House State Ballroom will be a much-needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of innately designed and carefully crafted space with a seated capacity of 650 people, which is a significant

increase from the 200-person seated capacity in the east room of the White House. In recent weeks, President Trump has held several meetings with members of the White House staff, the National Park Service, the White House military office, is there anything else that's a three-minute clip? No, that's it. That's it. Okay, sounds good.

Yeah, so you got a lot of other things that's coming up. You know, Trump doesn't want another election. You know, Newsom talking about it sickens me to the core. Back to back to back. Is this another one, Rob, or? I know I can get that sickens me to the core. Yeah, it sickens me to the core. Just nonstop.

So we know the guy's campaigning. Tom, when you're seeing. these types of exchanges, you know, two dozens Trump 2028 hats, you know, somebody else tweeted for him. Are you still in the same mindset, Tom, that Pritzker is going to be the leading guy for the Democrats in 2028? What I've said is the DNC wants Pritzker, and Pritzker is the guy in the Midwest. And I believe that's what the DNC card they want to play. I think they're worried about Gavin Newsom in Texas. I think they're worried about Gavin Newsom in Florida. and I think Gavin Newsom is going to discover

that there is life on the other side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and as much as he's getting momentum through rage and anti-Trump and rage and he's getting a lot of followerships, he's getting a lot of attention. I still think that the DNC want to put their number on it, but I think he's not, he's campaigning, and we're going to deal with three years of this.

Yeah, he's not going away. Oh, no, he's not going away. He's going to be in all those primaries. but I wonder is the DNC going to South Carolina him? We'll see. Well, you know, we just talked about the shooting in Minnesota and I'm going to tie it to basically what California has done to America. You know, Minnesota is the California of the Midwest.

And what California has done is they've exported all their weirdness and their dysfunction and their failed policies and their high taxes and their holly weirdness and trans is the new trend. and it's seeped its way to the rest of America. You know, America, you know, as proud capitalists here, we've gotten a lot richer. GDP is up massive. Everyone's, if you own any assets,

richer and richer, richer, at the same time, there's a weird thing going on in America where we're all fatter, sicker, dumber, woker, lonelier, and depressed than ever. Speak for yourself. So I'm doing better than ever. I don't know, you lonelier than ever? Not me.

but the reality is whatever you know they say that politics is downstream from culture now culture kind of comes from Hollywood and movies and social media and look no further than California of where it kind of happens and make no mistake look at what's happened in Minnesota in the last five years this is where don't forget COVID's George Floyd happened all the all the riots that were going on there tampon Tim we know that he couldn't identify what a woman was. This is where Ilhan Omar and the progressive Islamist extremism of the Somali community that is basically taken over you of a weak ineffective governor like Jacob Frey,

who probably praise to a guy named Gavin Newsom. It's a disgusting thing to see a great American city like Minneapolis, and they're taking their lead from the disgustingness that comes from California. What an amazing state that has basically been wrecked. Well, I did it because Rob did it for all odds. I did it for just the Democrats. Gavin Newsom is number one right now, Polymark and election betting odds at 31%.

AOC is number two. Pete Buttigieg, Westmore, Shapiro, and Kamala, and Pritzker's not even in the top. Go back up, Rob. Go back up what you had there. Twain the Rock Jocs. No, no, the one above it. Assuming in a little bit.

Josh Shapiro, Donald Trump Jr., Whitmer, Obama, Rhonda, Santos, Hayley. Nicki Haley They got AOC as a number two For the Democrat frontrunner That's crazy She's formidable Yeah

She's formidable But she's gonna have a hard time With some of the states And Tom's right She's See Newsom was on track When he was going a little bit more To the center

To have a shot But he missed out You know He went So aggressive You can Look Kamala was the leading candidate For Democrats

She lost seven states Yep Okay So the same strategy Yeah, swing states. The seven states that, you know, Pennsylvania, what was it, Arizona, and name them. Yeah, Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan. Yeah, so the point when you're going through something like this, and so Democrats are trying to find ways to find a rogue and all that other stuff.

Story comes out from Taylor Lorenz, Dark Money Group, Payne, pro Democrats, influencers, up to $8,000 a month, New York Post. What's the story, Rob? This is, do you have a video on it or no, it's just a story? Just a story. Okay, let me read it. A secret of dark money group tied to Democratic Party, the 1630 Fund is paying online influencers up to $8,000 a month through their course creator incubator program

to disseminate left-leaning talking points with participants including Olivia Giuliana, the Gen Z activist, who spoke at the 2024 DNC convention. Lauren Pierta, a former Playboy executive, turned to Occupy Democrat's YouTuber, Barrett Adair who runs a viral American, do you know these people or no, right? I don't know. I know. Viral

American Girl dot-themed meme account. Susan Lambert, who style herself as a Regina Georgia liberal. That is a mean girl's reference. There's our girl. Fadour. There she is. Arielle Fadour,

who is a teacher with 1.4 million TikTok followers, Sandra Jennings, TLC reality star, an older brother of trans-influenced. or Jazz Jennings. Weird. David Pacman, host of YouTube show.

Oh, boy. Pacman's on this list. Oh, weird. But Pacman's got a couple of minutes. Why does he need $8,000 a month? Pacman, okay, so along with Lay McGowan, better known as Politics Scroll,

so Assistant 341 told the Post that it is a fiscal sponsor, of course, receiving donations on course. We have providing operational administrative support, but it is not the original source of financing. And the fiscal sponsorship model

is common across philanthropy and in compliance with all laws. Is that what this is, Rob, do we know anything else about the story? That's all that I know right now. It said how many people were involved, 90 of them? 90 influence were expected to join. Go a little bit lower, according to wire. Go a little bit lower. So that's Pacman right there.

Lower, lower, lower. Is there, let me see what's a sum walk at the group of Channing Influencer, debating the terms. One pro-bortion creator Perry would have quip. I believe we are in stage five acceptance. Aaron Pernas Gen Z Influencer once held The Gen Z Walter Cronkite is reported to have told the colleagues it was take it or leave it

The program secrecy clause was deliberate It avoids a lot of public disclosure that you see On political ads A lawyer of chorus, four chorus Set in a Zoom call with creators according to Wired Your names aren't shown up on reports filed with the FVC While he was wrong Go a little low Rob

So they were thinking their name wasn't going to be on the list Now it is That's not good Okay, so why is this not good? Tell me why this isn't good. I mean, they're paying them, like when it's dark secret money, who's paying it? Is it a specific candidate? Is it a campaign?

When they say Democratic Party, Pat, it's, who is it? I'm just curious to who, and who's leaking the story. So what's the difference between this and the Russia thing that they were paying people $100,000, you know, Dave Rubin's name was on there and a couple of other people's name was on there? You remember that list when it came out? I think it's kind of the same because when they say dark money, Pat, where is it coming from?

Who's paying to influence these people to use their influence to... Because if I'm a Democrat, you know how I'm arguing this? How cheap are you guys? You guys are so Republicans cost money, apparently. If you want Rubin, you need $100,000 or 10 on these guys. These guys are like, for $250, they're interested in. So these are the names from Coors. Cors is a creator at a nonprofit organization dedicated to...

There is Expand to Reach on the other course as recruiting training and supporting independent online voices and building the next era training. See, that's the part I have a problem with. Go a little bit lower. What does training mean? Go lower, Rob. Go lower. Okay, can you go to the top that says get in touch?

What does get in touch mean? But still stays there? Nothing newer. Okay, then go to the other one. That says join course. Apply now. Go a little bit lower, see if there's anything else. Okay, let's see the FAQs.

What are the benefits of joining cores, please? Let's do an ad for it. Guys, if you want to join us, just going to happen. chorus incubator program is vibrant pro-democracy learning community for participants receive a monthly stipend so they're open about it so you'll give support okay go to the next one I'm going to sign up will I be paid to create content

nope nope nope oh they've noped yeah I don't like that chorus is a creator-led nonpartisan nonprofit for a really different model careers but we don't pay creators to produce content keep reading we just give you space to learn more about how to communicate Okay, please note that we do ask incubators to submit one piece of content for growth analysis. Keep going. What is applicant to be part of the members? Okay, online applications information.

Your applications reviewed five-member panel. The top scores for, okay, go a little bit lower. Who funds us? There's a 501C3 panel with grassroots support from hundreds of individuals. Okay. All right. Can we find out who funds course? Go the last one.

Will I be publicly listed? Your privacy and safety is top security? Well, you guys screwed up. whoopsie. If you do apply, they're going to know. And doesn't this show you how the Democratic Party is in shambles? They're going behind closed doors, dark secret money. Notice how the Republicans have, you know, it's just organic.

The influencers are out there. They're out in the open. They're kicking ass because the Republican Party is. This just shows you that they have to literally pay people like, hey, please talk positive about us. Make us look good because the policies and everything is right in front of their face. We need you to kind of slowly build it. And it's, that's where they're at, Tom. They're on bad james. It's very, very simple. Chorus coordinates consistent messages among these influencers.

Anti-conservative, whatever you want to call it, they coordinate those messages. The chorus sings together. The chorus stays in tune. Their branding has got a reason behind it. The 1630 fund is sending money to chorus. We like what you're doing. Here's some bucks. And then they get a monthly stipend to do what? What is the monthly stipend? to do what? Oh, no, no, we don't pay you to make content. Nope, we give you up in. And then 1630 says, we invest in organizations that provide operational support to other groups. So chorus. So 1630 says, Vinny, I'm going to give you money for operational support. Yeah, what does that intend? What operate? Keep those liberal voices operating and keep them

singing the same tune. That's it. There it is. I have nothing more to say. That's what's going on here. So they are, and by the way, it's the same thing that we were concerned about when we would show all the news media. Do they all get a notice in the morning from somewhere? Remember those, all those clip generators, those clip assimilators that would put together and you find out the news media was saying the same thing in the same way on the evening news all across USA. Gosh, where did they all get the playbook? This is just a playbook for influencers. Rob, can you go back and ask a Chad GBT to follow the question? Ask the question of who funds chorus dark money.

Okay, there you go. So let's see this. Primary fund are 1630 fund. Okay, so the 1630 fund, a prominent liberal dark money, nonprofit that operates fiscal core is collecting and minister of donations. 1630 fund has dispersed up to $8,000 a month to about 90. Okay, we read that.

Larger network and known backers, larger networks and known backers are Aubella advisors, Washington, C-based philanthropic consulting, administer 1630 fund, Arbella. manages a network of politically oriented nonprofits, including New Venture Fund, Hopal Fund, Windward Fund, North Fund, and others.

Okay, known financial contributors are Hansorg Wiss as Swiss billionaire who has donated $245 million. Interesting. Okay, so we've got to come back and see who he is. Rob, can we actually go to see who that guys, Hansberg Wiss? Pierre Oudmiddars or his co-founder of eBay. Who is Hansberg Wiss? So Swiss billionaire.

He's a Swiss billionaire. entrepreneur. Why does he have interest in politics? That's what I'm trying to find out. He launched a pledging of billion dollars towards 30% of Earth's land and water. Okay, so he's a climate change guy. Go a little bit lower. A major contributor, Democratic and Progressive Caucus. Okay, got caucuses, got it. Wisn's going to go online Chelsea. Okay. The Horizon, burn. Okay. So go back. Can you ask the question, what's his relationship with George Soros? What's his relationship with George Soros? Let's see what it says.

Zoom in a little bit. There is no personal relationship. However, they do operate in overlapping spheres. Both have major philanthropy donors. U.S. West Foundation. Okay, 1635. All right.

Go back. George, Earth, through Open Society, similar funds. Okay. Go back to the chat, GBT, to continue reading it. Other disclos, Nick Connor,

American Federation and General and Mike Coombrung, okay, 45 million. Major of its funding, and a half million dollars. These are the anonymous ones. When was it funded? the 2009.

By the way, Pierre Omidyre, yes. He's the founder of eBay and the grandson of a general in the Imperial Iranian Army. Really? He served under... Oh, weird. Palavik. Wow. Okay, keep going a little bit more on.

Now he's liberal, grandson, liberal. So, yeah, I mean, so what they're trying to do is what? Just to give you talking points to say, can you talk about these points and be favorite, you know, favoring what we're talking about? Is that kind of what they're doing? It's all about, right. Social media is about... trend trend is momentum momentum is reach yeah all they're trying to do is put together I

shouldn't say all they're trying to do is they're given a bunch of money dark money the dark money comes to all these people that don't want to be listed whoops there's a list and then 1630 gives that money over to chorus course make sure everybody is singing the same tune and today the word of the day today is authoritarian trump gun control go Adam well this is why people want to get big money out of politics. I mean, this all traces back to the big decision in 2010, I believe it was, which was Citizens United,

and it happened under, I don't know if it was under George Bush or it was under Obama, right around that time frame. There was a John Roberts decision that opened up on the limited corporate giving. Exactly. And we all remember when Chris Cuomo, shout out to you, buddy, basically called out the big money,

dark money donors, whatever you want to call it, at the DNC. And this was following Bernie on stage we got to get the billionaires out of elections. We've got to get the money out of this. The billionaires, the billionaires. Please welcome to the stage. Your next speaker, billionaire governor, J.B. Pritzker. Hey, how are you guys doing? So if you want to see cognitive dissonance, look no further

than the Democratic Party. But here's Chris Cuomo basically calling out essentially what we're talking about. How long is this cliprop? One minute, 58 seconds. Greg, look at the ring of sweets. This is not unique to Democrats. There is a game of money. When people talk about Uniparty, we are strangled by the money reality in our politics. Those suites start at 500 grand. You think there's like a teacher group up in there?

You think it's like the Cub Scouts up in Columbia County, South Carolina that's up in those boxes? Some of them are lobbies and good things. The media boxes, you think they're free? Why do you think I'm on the floor? News Nation is not a broke company. Next door is a massive organization. We are, corporate media. We don't have one of those boxes because that's the game. You pay to play. Those boxes are filled with the same

people that they say they're going to regulate. They are literally looking down on the faithful and being told... This is a clip that's going to be around forever. We're going to make them pay their share. Rob, you can pause it right there. We play this clip multiple times. Great messaging. It'd be great to get rid of lobbying, but in able to do that, it's going to

be a lot of fighting going on. Tom, what would happen? Actually visualize 100% of lobbying is gone. The biggest one being Big Pharma, I think it's $350 million, whatever the number is. Take all the lobbying out. Pharma, real estate, insurance, A-PAC, take every one of these guys out. What happens? Well, if you take the lobbying out of it, there's going to be a lot more variability in our elections.

Because someone who's in the seat, who now has some. the people in their pocket, that's very hard to overthrow. It is very, very, very, very, very hard to defeat a U.S. Senator. Go look at the number of incumbent senators, absent some terrible scandal that get overthrown, that sounds revolutionary, that are defeated. The most powerful word in American election lexicon is incumbent, because incumbent means there are people that you are serving that want you to stay there. And the industries have the lobbying behind it. Pat, if that wasn't there and those lobbies were there, then it would be much easier for people with new ideas and new focuses to run against, especially in the perpetual two-year race,

because it's every two years for a congressman, every two years. Without that incumbent label, without all the lobbying money that they get, they would now be raising money from grassroots, people like you and me, or unions could give directly, but you wouldn't have the active lobbying groups. Remember, there was one of the biggest white-collar crimes in Washington was, what was his name, Jack? He always wore the little black Buller hat, and he was a paid lobbyist.

Help me out, Rob me, what I'm talking about. And he ultimately, no, we'll find him. He used to wear that dark black jacket all the way down and the hat. But anyway, there is an example. Sounds pretty shady is what you're saying. It was criminal lobbying that was going on, where the lobbying was going beyond. And so without the lobbying, Pat, elections would normalize quite a bit. And you would also have the following happen.

Laws that get passed would have more scrutiny. Because the lobbyists, if you go look at it, What percent of laws that are sponsored by a congressman are actually written by lobbyist? That's him right there. That's a jacket right there. That's him. Yeah, it was him. He was the OG badass of lobbying until he got busted.

Pat, it reminds me of a picture that you showed about some scary guy in a movie. Elections would be easier for new people with ideas and laws would no longer be written by lobbyists and then just say, okay, Patrick, we got you elected. Here's the thing. put the bill through. And the lobbyists are writing the bills. Dirty secret. Who could get rid of them and who doesn't want to get rid of them?

We need a Buford Pusser-type character. Would Trump get rid of him? I would hope. He's never talked about it, though. He could be a Buford Pusser. Because let me tell you, all of corporate America wants the lobbyists because it makes their lives more stable because you don't have regulation coming and going.

Corporate America wants it, especially energy and pharmaceutical. they want it who else wants it the unions want it it makes their lives more stable in what in what way do they play a positive role is there anything positive that they play well when you see when you see parent groups joining when you have okay give a great example there is uh oh i just blanked on her name she's in tex she's a doctor that was anti-vax she works at houston hospital she has a very vibrant uh twitter account but she's been out there where grassroots people talking about... Mary Bowden?

Yes, Mary Talibadden. And she's been out there with Citizens Group. There's an example of good. They have been trying to lobby and get their voice heard about, you're wrong about the vaccine. We have other data, but they get drowned out by the big money.

And so small lobbying efforts, you know, that have a cause. Sometimes they get vindicated like she. They tried to cancel her how many times? And now she's been vindicated that her and all the parents and the citizens that were saying there's other data, please listen, please. They're pleading like little tiny voices in the night. This is an example.

And now she's vindicated. They were like, we're going to, you're going to lose your medical license. You won't be practicing. And as soon as you learn your license, we're going to go after you for disseminating fraudulent information. Well, guess what? Guess what? She did? She's vindicated.

And now she's out there on podcast. and on TV saying, and you'll see things, Mary, how did you, Dr. Bown, how did you bear up under it? We knew we were right. We knew we had the data. How did you get through that, that fog? How did you move it? I had the support of all these people that agreed with us. We were doing it.

And that's an example, Pat, of a good lobby. And now we find out that she was absolutely correct. I don't think lobbying is all bad. There's certainly pros and cons in it. Like, for instance, you know, when I go to these Fonseca insurance type conferences, we go to the hill and try to educate our congressmen on the benefits of financial services and, you know, using our expertise that helps the general public and representing interest and all these groups are special interests. I don't have a problem with that. The problem when

when you can just, you know, you're here, they're bought and paid for, bought and paid for, when you have so much money, whether it's the farmer groups or whether it's big oil or whether it's a big war, you could buy these politicians to put them in your pocket. And then that's how you get crony capitalism. That's how you get corruption. So I don't know the happy medium of it, but it's certainly getting out of hand. Rob, I think maybe the solution is the following. And Mexicans have figured it on because I think for us, like, we got to graduate this way we're going.

December of 2024. I think some guy had nunchucks in this one. Look at this. They're stacking the furniture. That's a girl. He's making a tackle. That's a chick. That's not real.

No, no. And look at the chairs website down. There is no way that's real. No, no. Are there videos or no? Yes, there are. Go to media. That's it.

That's it. Look, oh, he took the notes. He's got the legislation. He's headed to the goal line. He could go all the way. This is in Taiwan? Yeah, this is Taiwan. This is Taiwan Parliament in December 2024.

They ended up stacking the furniture. They stacked the furniture up to keep others from getting in here. Here she goes. What are they fighting about? Probably not wanting to be taken over by China. They're doing water. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh. Hey. Oh! Here comes the chairs. Get them. That's great. Well, now I'm hungry. You can pause it, Rob.

So I think we can say that our congressmen... Have it under control. And congressmen are wimps. It's hilarious. Well, so maybe that's also... Lobbying makes you weak. Can you imagine Chuck Schumer? Like, not even talking to like Jerry Nadler fighting like...

What's that old guy? Who's the old reporter? Chuck Grassley. But you thought he capped in his pants once. What would happen here? Yeah, oh, my God. I actually, I totally approve of what they're doing over there and what is this Mexican Congress right now.

I pay for it. Because the old vigilante justice that you see what's going on the cartels, we talked about like the most dangerous cities in the Western Hemisphere, I think seven out of the top 10. We're in Mexico, you know, my buddy, Adrian, just got back from Dorango, Mexico. And I was like, how was it? He said, oh, it was amazing. I go, what's the corruption like?

You fear for your life? No, it's safe. It's safe. I go, you sure? Because all I hear is, you know, politicians. end up dead and all the craziness going on there. He goes, no, no, no, no. They worked it out like a couple of months ago.

No more kidnapping of innocent people. I think they're working on it. I was like, oh, that's like a new thing. No more kidnapping innocent people. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was pretty safe. I was waiting for President Trump. I'm Donald Trump and I approve of this fight.

Killed it, Tom. All right. Okay, so let's go to the next story here. Next story is Donald Trump looks terrible. Why won't the press ask him what's wrong? And Adam wants to talk about this story, so Adam will come to you first. Donald Trump looks lousy. He is unexplained bruises on his hands.

His ankles are swollen. He's walking oddly. He keeps mixing up names or using the wrong word during press availability. The question about what's legitimate legitimate in diagnosing presidents and afar has become more than just an academic exercise. and given the indoor world's most demanding job, the debate has also been fueled about age. Social media has no such complications about speculation. The last few weeks have been considerable focus on Trump's ill health with his hands. Rob, is this what?

She's been asked the question about his health. So this is last month because President Trump's hand was seen bruised last month, and Caroline Levitt was asked about that, and here's what she said about his health. Recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand. This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy. And the president remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here.

So the president wanted me to share that note with all of you. I'm happy to take further questions on it. Gotta love it. You know, where Bologna says, I hate my press. And the president is like, no, I do this every day. And by the way, do you remember how many times Biden took questions during the four years he was in? Do we actually know the stats? How many times did President Biden allow press to ask him questions, okay, live during his term?

Do we know that? It has to be a handful. It's not a big number. By the way, who knows who's going to be coming out with these numbers? They're probably going to get bigger numbers than whatever. really is. Approximately 36 times amongst seven most recent presidential president's and round again. What's the number? Thirty-six, but look at how many Trump had Obama and Reagan had. Trump had four hundred and sixty-eight. Obama did five-70 in its eight years.

Reagan did 262. Biden did 33. Just so you know that. 33 is what Biden did. Okay. What's the bottom one saying the 58 only 500 given extra second to only 664 Trump okay so yeah this guy's not out there and what Trump is doing is he's completely out there talking everybody but adam what are your thoughts about this whole health scared that people are talking about yeah well Donald Trump is probably going to die the good news and bad news depending on what you feel about Trump is it's not going to happen anytime soon uh he's going to live at least to age 90 now where am I coming up with this two different reasons my expertise is literally in longevity and longevity markets and life expectancy.

That's my industry. And the number two, precedent. So with the exception, since 1980, you talk about president deaths. With the exception of Richard Nixon, who died at 81, every single U.S. president made it to at least 90. Reagan was 93.

Ford was 93 as well. Bush, senior, 94. Jimmy Carter, your favorite president, Pat, made it to 100. I believe he died last year, although Vinny preemptively thought he died much earlier. Biden is, what, 82 going on, 102. We'll see how long he lasts.

He's still there. Trump is 79. He's lean, mean, and orange. He's doing his thing. He's high energy. He's active. He's a fighter. He's a survivor. Based on my indications, based on whatever health issues we know, get used to seeing Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Whether he runs in 2028, I think, is a farce.

But Donald Trump, for all the betting people out there, will make it through his final term in office. And then he'll have a sunset. I mean, but in regard to this, Tom, Sorry, not to cut you off, Tom. I mean, I aspirin, what she's talking about is, you know, baby aspirin for your, for your blood. Like a lot of people, even my doctor's like, take a baby aspirin chewable at night before you go to sleep. It helps with your circulation.

But it's, I mean, let's, let's be honest. He does shake hands and he's aggressive when he shakes hands. That might be, yeah, Tom, trust me, he's shaking my hand twice. Shake Tom's how it does it. Rip his shoulder out. Rip that shoulder out. President, but you know, it makes me. Tom, after those weightlifting, you're stronger now.

And I think you mentioned this yesterday, too. It's not like, guys, he doesn't hide. He eats Big Macs. When you go on Air Force One, there's nine Big Macs, and you have to eat it because that's all they have is Big Macs and McDonald's fries and he drinks Diet Coke. An R.K. sitting there going, I wish I wasn't in this phone. Yeah, exactly. But the only thing that makes me laugh that the media is worried about him when for four years, Biden was falling upstairs, forgetting everything, shaking hands with ghost, lost his mind. They didn't say he was literally shaking hands with nobody. and they said nothing.

And now they're like, oh, Trump is in bad shape. I'm going to be honest, though. He doesn't look that great. He's in his 80s, like you said. He's eating unhealthy. 79, Vinny. Have a little respect. He's 2026 is going to be the greatest year of our lives right now.

He's going to be 80. A country's going to turn 250. I wish you could be helping McDonald's. I want to live as long as he can. You're not going to change somebody at that age, and you're going to be like this. Put the big Macdon. It's not going to happen.

Hey, I think we've got a lot of octogenarians in Congress. Congress and the Senate. And I think what we just went through with Biden, where now we find out he was really, honestly, incapacitated in some way. That's that task. That's terrible. And since he was incapacitated and went through all this, I think it's a fair question by the media. The media sits there and looks, hey, the prior president, now we know some of us covered it up. Okay, maybe shouldn't have done that. Not going to admit it. But it's a fair question we need to ask, how is the health of our leader with so much to do on a world stage? Just fine.

I don't want to hear it. And it would appear that there may be some stuff going on with a 70-something-year-old president. But other than that, he's in good health. Patrick, and moving forward, and it's not the visible things that we saw previously. And it's not Mitch McConnell basically having, you know, like Mike, I don't know what you call it, but he would freeze up. If someone, I mean, Adam and I have been around a lot of older relatives and stuff, if we had an older relative freeze up at a dinner the way McConnell did, Wouldn't we start going through our... No, I'd reelect him.

No, no, no. You and I would go through the stroke checklist. Try to get them to say something. Try to do these things. Remember McConnell freezes up? And so you would get concerned for a family member and say, hang on, let's go through the stroke checklist. Let's call 911.

And so it's a fair question by the media, but it looks like Trump's and good health and all things considered. I want to get Patrick's perspective on this because you said something the other day. It's not about lifespan. It's about health span. Unpacked that a little bit. Yeah, I mean, we just met with a guy. who is one of our neighbors,

brilliant guy, Dr. Cardiologist. He says life is about health span, not lifespan. How long of a healthy life you live. It's not about, you could live up to 90, but the last 20 you were miserable, you know, versus you live 85, but you live a healthy old 85? He's golfing out there. You know, he came back from Alaska,

gets a couple hours of sleep, gets back on a golf course, noon he's golfing. So, you know, yes, that hand stuff, you got to look at it, make sure everything is good. What I do know is, You know, with the help of Tom's, you know, a lot of the content he talks about, we have a massive surge in our octogenarian audience that watches the podcast.

And we welcome all of you. And it's just an awesome audience. And, you know, they buy, they still buy Future Looks Bright. They don't, they still are like, no, I'm still excited about the future. They don't buy green bananas, but they'll buy some future look bright gear. They believe the future looks bright, definitely. All right, let's go to another story of this guy that, the side of the run of the middle of the street

gets arrested. This guy's name is Little Nas X. Rob, if you want to pull up this clip, I don't even know. I guess we have to show the clifford to make sense. So this guy is I mean, look, before you watch it, he's in his white. I don't even know what that is. So let me just kind of read it to you. Vinny

was like sent emails. Can we please cover this twice we did not? So I'm only doing this because Vinny really wants to cover this story because it has a lot to do with the economy and politics. But let me just set it up and then I'll give it to you. Little Nazex whose real name is

Montero Lamar Hill was released from jail Monday after posting $75,000 auto bill following his arrest on Thursday in Studio City, California, where he was seen walking naked down Ventura Avenue apparently at 4 o'clock in the morning leading to confrontation with police user at taser to subdue him as reported by TMZ. He was charged with

four felony counts, including three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer with a criminal complaint stating he did unlawfully use force and violence and inflict an injury on three officers. He reasonably should have known were peace officers performing their duties. L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hockman, no relation to Octo Girl, stated attacking police officers is more than just a crime against

those individuals, but a direct threat to public safety, emphasizing that anyone who assaults law enforcement will face serious consequences. The 26-year rapper known for his 2018 Old Town Road pleaded not guilty during his Raymond Monday. Vinnie, tell us.

You want to first show this clip? This is it. You know where this is. This is Venturable LeVar. You know exactly where this is. And they claimed that he was he OD'd on drugs. Show this. Hey, don't be late to the party tonight. We're at. You know where it's at.

In my pants. No, no, no, no, no. This is what I do. No, no, no, no. Go ahead, babe. Nah, nah, nah. Didn't I tell you to put the phone down? Like, oh my goodness.

Uh-oh, somebody's going to have to pay for that. You know exactly where this is. This is Ventura. This is Ventura. This is Ventura. Four o'clock in the morning. And that, hey, oh. Fast forward.

Okay, fast-road, fast-over, fast-word. You know, that's California Pizza Kids and shit, it's right there. That's a man right there. But a fast-forward, Rob, is there any... Boom. Everything looks normal to me, except he's not in a crosswalk. Nothing crazy, Pat. He's actually having...

Do we see cops actually get in a police officer? No, no fighting, none of that, but there is a video, Rob, if you could find the aftermath. Why was he arrested? Just, first of all, well, they said he was O-Ding, but guess what? Is this Sam? Yeah, this is... And, like, Pat, just look at the spiritual, like, look where he's at. Could show this after jail.

Your girl is going to be okay. Your girl, okay? Oh, Jesus. Watch. Look, look where he's at. Okay. She's going to be all right. She's going to be all right.

Yeah, okay. Yeah. Shit. Look at him. Tommy's lost. That was fucking terrifying. Look, look, Tom. That was terrified.

Yeah, look at his eyes, bro. It was a terrifying last four days. But your girl is going to be all right. Something tells me that when he went to jail, he dropped the soap on. purpose. Well, here's my thing. Multiple times. And listen, I don't judge. I'm just, I'm just my opinion, Tom. I know we were talking about the spirituality thing, which I want you to

piggyback on, but that's not drugs. Tom, Adam, could I please finish the damn story? I'm sorry, I'm just really excited about this girl. This isn't drugs. This is, by the way, I've been on drugs before. Nothing made me want to get in my underwear and white boots and gone to be true. You're not flaming homosexual.

But, Pat, that's not. You're under the cover. That's not drugs. That's something deeper. And a lot of people say when you get to the industry, you sell your soul. Adam, I don't want to say the name. We talked to a guy that said to us, Pat, by way, this guy wasn't a Christian. He was at a house party, very talented guy, and he saw things, and he admitted to me, he looked like he saw a ghost, and he goes, this made me become a Christian. And remember, guys, let's do a little backstory. This is the same guy that teamed up with MS, S-G-C-H-F. Remember they made the Satan shoes? They were

altered Nike Air Max 97s. They had a bronze pedigram, inverted cross. Do you remember these? red accents and guess what they only made 6666 pairs 6006 pairs but remember this was a fact check this they got sued they got sued Nike had nothing to do with this Nike had nothing to do with this

they sued they took it down and they forced and by the they had a drop of human blood in it okay and at the same time he released that music video Montero which he pulled dance from hell gave the devil a lap dance snapped his neck and then took a storm and I know I mentioned this early in the week when we're talking about the fight the battle. It's about, it's not flesh and blood. This is Ephesians, Pat. But Galatians

6-7 says, do not be deceived. God is not to be mocked for whatever one souls, one will reap. Okay. And this is what the industry does. They sold us on this. And Luke, what's that? Luke 1018. Tom, could you read it? What does it say? Look 1018. I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven as he was banished. And guys, a lot of people go, oh, you're just, you're just connecting Dodson. No, no. All these guys. All these industry people, they do this stuff. Remember Ice Spice? That's not a Bible verse.

That's a proof of existence. Yes, of Satan. That's what they're doing. And then remember Ice Spice? She's in the booth with Taylor Swift. When the camera hits her and she knows, she does the devil horns and she picks up an upside-down cross. And everybody's like, yo, you're crazy. That's just, they're just messing with you. And no.

And this is them giving, like, credence and like respect to their God. And Rob, Bob Dylan. I know, I know we showed this once. if you don't mind, Pat. Bob Dylan was asked by who, Ed Bradley? Ed Bradley, it's 60 minutes, way back when, 60 minutes. Yeah, he's asking him, like, how do you keep, how do you keep going, you give credit to your industry, and look who he says he made a deal with.

Go ahead. Why do you still do it? Why are you still out here? Well, it goes back to the destiny thing. You can get protein at home or a protein latte at Tim's. No powders, no blenders, no shakers. Starting at 17 grams per medium latte, Tim's new protein lattes,

Protein without all the work at participating restaurants in Canada. Bank more on-cours when you switch to a Scotia Bank banking package. Learn more at scotia-bank.com slash banking packages. Conditions apply. Scotia Bank, you're richer than you think. I made it to bargain with it.

You know, a long time ago, and I'm holding up my hand. what was your bargain to get where I am now should I ask who you made the bargain with with you know with the chief

commander on this earth and this earth and then in the world we can't see yeah okay so guys it's not like they're hiding it it's in your face I may I don't I don't want to interrupt

but I assume that's the devil but it could be God I don't know about that talking like that I don't know I don't know. My thing is this, Adam, I think these people, like Little Nazex, go out of the story, there's something off. When you go into this industry, you're lost, your spiritual. And Tom, I know you want to say something about how people are turning in England from 18 to 24 to God, which I love. But there's still a freaking battle here. We're winning, but it's still ugly. Yeah, you know, I don't normally mention specific books, but I'm going to mention one here. And it's spiritual warfare by Dr. Carl Payne. It's a very, very balanced book. Read chapter two with an open mind and just ten. tell me what you think is happening here, and it is happening with people.

This is not, you know, I think that pastors that are out there that are doing, you know, these fake exorcisms and these stage shows, I think that's a sham. But I think that people that fail to understand that our prayer life needs to include protection from the dark forces, that's a shame. If you don't see that and you look at the amount, people say, you know, look how much Jesus talked about money. Well, you need to also look at how much he talked about spirit forces and saying, these only go through prayer and fasting.

You know, there is the, in Acts, talks about the seven sons of Sceiva. And they would, and this priest, self-appointed priest named Skeva, will go around collecting money from people to say, I'll make the demons go away, I'll make the demons go away, I'll do all this. And they say this man that was overwrought, you know, turned to him and looked at him and he said in the name of Jesus that Paul preaches get out of him and so in other words he didn't have the belief he's referencing apostle Paul and says the man looked at him and it says Paul I have heard of in Jesus I know who are you oh wow and basically he was saying

you're unarmed yes you are not covered by the Holy Spirit you're unarmed and it says he gave he gave him is seven sons, a massive beating, and they fled the house naked and bleeding. And so, you know, you see all that. And so spiritual warfare by Dr. Carl Payne, you know, take a look at that. It's not about sensationalizing the devil. It's understanding that there are dark forces on this, which is why we need Christ. Well, there's, I mean, this is a chat CBD thing, but here's allegedly a list of famous musicians and actors who have, quote, unquote, made a deal with the devil. This is Chat, GPT, check it out. Number one on the list is Kanye.

Number two, Jay-Z, Beyonce, obviously Jay-Z had a relationship with Kanye. Rihanna, Katie Perry, who jokingly said, I want to be the Amy Grin of Music, and I sold my soul to the devil. Those are her words. Lady Gaga, Eminem, Little Naz-X, on this list right there. In the acting world, we saw what happened with Heath Ledger when he played the Joker, and he literally got possessed by the devil. Apparently, Keanu Reeves on this list.

Madonna, Doja Cat, we've seen what she's done in her music, and she's a song about the devil. But, you know, when they said there's smoke, there's fire, we've seen multiple, multiple stories of people who have had fame and have kind of gone out of and said, you don't want to see what's going on in this occult house back here, and they get out of it. But some people, fame over being a decent person

is a higher priority. Well, there you go. That's little Nazex for you with what he's got going out. Folks, I mean, the basic premise of this message is don't run around in your underwear. at 4 o'clock in the morning. It's just not a good idea. I don't care what street it is. Ventura, Preston Hollow,

you know, Broadway, Federal, Dixie, Dixie. Don't do it. It's not a good idea. If you're going to run around your house, fine, don't do it in the street. That was a main purpose there. Don't tell us we didn't give you a good tip today

of watching the show. Life changing. All right. Next story. Russia warning as Vladimir Putin close to first nuclear bomb test and 35 years. Nuclear bomb test. Why is he testing a nuclear bomb? Who wants to see that he's testing a nuclear bomb?

Is this message to his neighbor leader that's a great dancer, great shaker? Who is he trying to show this too that they're doing this with? So let me read it to you. Russia's getting closer to renew a nuclear bomb test for the first time since 1990 and a former Soviet Arctic test site

in Zavoya, Zemlya, archipeligo, and with military specialist, Demetri, Stefanovi. if the Russian Center for International Security and member of the Russian Academy of Sciences warning, we are closer to the situation that at any point in North Korea

since last nuclear tests referring to North Korea's tests in September 2017. The director of the facility confirmed readiness stating the test site is ready to resume full-scale testing activities. It is fully ready. The laboratory and testing facilities are ready. The personnel are ready.

If the order is given, we will begin testing. at the moment. Russian politician, including Lieutenant General André Grolov, who posted from the side, you know there's a lot of fascinating stuff I could say about the test site, but sadly I cannot. The only thing I can say is we're fully combat ready.

So what are they saying? While that story's breaking and they're sharing that, another story comes out that Russia is trying to recruit soldiers with HIV and STDs, with the promise of free health care, if they fight against Ukraine. So he's actively recruiting people, civilians with HIV, hepatitis, syphilis,

and other diseases in occupied regions of Donsac with health care access to is restricted to Russian passport holders, but using signs at recruitment centers stating this is your last chance to pressure them into enlisting with the promise of life's changing health care. So Tom, when you see something like this

with what they're doing, first testing nuclear site, two stories about them recruiting, anybody and everybody with STDs and HIV. What do you think? You think this is all smoke signal? You think they're all sending messages or you think there's any credibility here? No, I've been reading behind

the headlines on a lot of stuff in the Ukraine war and it is a fact that as of about a hundred days ago this became more of a manpower war than a technology war and that the drones that we're seeing flying around is not

simply because of drone technology. It is in part. But the other problem is they are out of manpower. And we've seen the kidnappings and conscription that have been going on in Ukraine. And we were also seeing, we also saw some very disturbing behavior of men that were in a gay club

that were being pulled out of the gay club in St. Petersburg. I think it was. I think the audience can help me here, but it was a gay club that was in Russia. And these guys were getting pulled out and forced into draft. And so it is a manpowering.

power problem that both sides are facing right now of military age, typical soldier age people. And now we're seeing the next list of this because it's been going on so long. They don't have infinite populations of young people that are joining the armed forces out of pride. They are having to basically enforce a draft. And when that's not working, they're having to kidnap on the streets, what Ukraine has been doing. We've seen the videos, how much don't have exact numbers, but they've done it. And now you've got Russia, you know, raiding a gay club and now saying, look, if you're sick, you've got controllable, communicable diseases, HIV-positive.

No problem. I'll give you free health care for life if you still have a life when you're done in the military. Yeah, by the way, while you're saying that, at the same time, Putin, Kim Jong-un are to attend. the Chinese parade in a show of defiance against the West. So look at that team right there, folks. Kim Jong-un, Xi, and Putin are going to be together. Why? Maybe they're sending a message.

So they will attend a military parade in Beijing, September 3rd, a week from now, marking their first public opinions alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping with Chinese system foreign minister announcing at a news conference that 26 foreign heads of state and government, including Belarus president, Iranian president, Indonesian president, South Korea National Assembly Speaker will join with no major Western leaders except for Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fiku will be president of the parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of Japan surrender in World War II will feature Xi Jinping surveying tens of thousands of troops

at the Tenement Square showcasing China's advancement military equipment like fighter jets, missile defense system and hypersonic weapons. The event projects a major show of solidarity among China, Russia, and North Korea against Western pressure with Russia facing multiple rounds of sanctions since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine described of Beijing as a strategic partner, a North Korea former treaty ally of China under UN Security Council sanctions since 2006 were its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program. Adam, what do you think with these three stories? Yeah, well, show me your friends. I'll show you your future. This is the gang. Gang gang right here. You got China, you got Russia, you got North Korea. You got Iran. You got Venezuela. And then just throw in whatever autocratic regimes aligned with these guys. On the flip side, you got our gang, which is the United States and all the Five Eyes, which is Canada, UK, New Zealand. You know, you throw Israel in there. You throw these democracies where people actually get elected and they're held accountable by the people, not just.

autocratic leaders, thug-like leaders who just do what they want. That's the way of the world. So you know how they say that you are the sum of the five people you hang out with the most? This is their crew. This is the access of evil. This is the accesses of resistance. The people of

these countries aren't necessarily evil, but the regimes typically are. How do you think Trump used this? That's what I was thinking. You just sat down with him. You had a good talk. You know, we're doing peace talks, but hopefully to end this thing with Ukraine. and then you go and you're going to go hang out with the Iran's president

just right this right there I mean that you know he has a relationship with South Korea with Kim Jong-un but North Korea North Korea my bad I think that's a spit in the face like what you're showing your defiance to the West we just sat down with each other yeah but why would you think that there are friends there's no indication that there are boys no no I necessarily say friends as much as as much as we're not fans of what Zelensky's doing we're on team Zelenskyy We're on team Ukraine. I know you don't want to admit it.

I'm not on team. I'm not on team. That guy? No, no. I'm on team Ukraine. Our country is. Yeah, the country is. I mean, but you're my thing.

But Russia, like Russia, but we were told to hate Russia, hate Russia. I don't necessarily think he's a friend. But you just came here and we're talking peace. Now you're going to do a parade going, hey, we don't like y'all. It's counterproductive. What the hell are we talking about? Putin is former, one of those three letters that he's former what? KGB.

KGB? You trust KGB, KGB, not me. You're done with KGB, my whole family. Is there anything here? Or this is just a ceremony that they're paying support to? Yeah, I think it's a ceremony you're paying support too. I mean, we met Robert Fico at a turning point event. He was a guy that was shot five times, I believe, and survived.

That was 50 cents. Slovak? No, I think Robert Fico was shot several times in attempted assassination during election season. and we have South Korea's National Assembly Speaker Wu Wancheek. So, you know, it seems like that there's some people from the, yeah, that's him. Look, that guy was shot several times during an election, attempted assassination, and he made it, you know, and survived it. And so I think what, and by the way, he's a friend of the U.S., and he's sitting here at Turning Point USA. We met him.

We met him. Yeah. And so I think there are some people that are there, okay, I'm being invited. to this, I'll go. Because they're having a gathering. It would be different if it was just the three China, Russia, and North Korea, you know, standing

doing a missile test, sending a missile over the... That's next. Over the end of North Carolina, North Korea toward Japan, that would be annoying. But right now I think they're getting together for this parade. The people that like each other

are there, and there's a couple people from the rest of world that are coming there basically pay their respects that's what you think pat what do you think's going on with all this i think you're you're the same way like he's talking cards they're trying to say hey we're unified and we're also pretty strong unified group for you to be paying attention to china and russia being unified and iran those three countries are in our top five enemies list if you think about china being number one iran being probably number two russia being probably, I don't know. They're in the top five. So I think if you were them, you'd probably do it as well. If you were them and you are representing them, you'd probably

hold this meeting to use as a leverage point that we're unified. Yeah, but I don't know, I don't know if it's going to make the relationship better or not. And a part of it maybe even in the meeting with Trump, he may have said, hey, I just want you know, I'm going to be at that September 3rd meeting with China. So, you know, these are things like, don't read into it. I've been committed to that for two years. I've been committed to that for six months. Who knows? I'm just saying. Yeah, I couldn't be. But some of these things, you've made commitments that's not, like, when you're at this level, they didn't just add this to the calendar last week. Yeah. This is like, you know how you calendar things out a year in advance? Yeah. These guy calendar things out three, four,

five years in advance. They're world leaders. The average person doesn't understand the calendar of a world leader. So I'm not expecting everybody to understand it. Okay, so let's go to the next story. I want to talk about the economy. Tom, so U.S. economy searches past expectations as spending investment role, or U.S. 3.3% in Q2, with growth even stronger than initially thought. And this is a story by CNBC. Rob. I think you have a video on this, if I'm not mistaken.

But I'll read this time, and I'll come to you. The U.S. economy grew up 3.3% in the second quarter, surpassing the Commerce Department's initial 3% estimate, And 3.1% Jones consensus forecast, driven by consumer spending, rising 1.6% from 1.4 on health care, pharmaceuticals and dining gap with final sales to private domestic purchases, a key federal reserve metric, increasing 1.9% compared to the 1.2 estimate. Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union stated the good news is consumption came in higher than previously thought. Americans are continuing to spend despite the tariffs and uncertainty, albeit a lower, slower pace than past years, projecting future growth at around 1.5%, Tom.

Thoughts on this? This is good news. Things are working. Is everything perfect? Is everything perfect in every state? Is energy perfect in California where they've kind of screwed up their green tariffs and the taxes they have on it? Sure. And guess what?

Stand by for, you know, a tall presidential candidate hopeful to be saying things about that. but just remember how bad it is from the taxes in that state. But the overall U.S. economy is growing, but not too fast. If it grows too fast, that can be inflationary. And jobless claims were also down. So the number of people that turned in claims for, you know, relief, you know, that was down. So that was good. There's still a lot of things that need to happen.

We need the manufacturing that's coming back onshore. We need those facilities to get built so we can get the jobs going there. But overall, this is good. And I'll show you a chart. This will be interesting to you. It involves numbers, but it's okay. Okay. Thank you, Tom.

Don't get a rash. Thank you. Too late. Give me the Fed, St. Louis, the 30-year mortgage rate, and go ahead and make that the beginning of this year. Right over there, that little box. Just make it 2024. That's fine. All right.

Which little box? Yeah, right there. Right there. Make it 2024. Yeah. Nice. So, and. Yep. So now we see that, guess what? We have just dipped under 6.5% for national mortgage rates for the first time since the blip we had for the election. The election. I love a lotion. I love a lotion. Put the economy in the basket with the lotion. In the basket, Tom.

Have another sip of that funny juice dropping all these words. No, it's my bailies and coffee. Dr. January and a lotion. That's right. So anyway, there is a motion in the ocean. Whoa, Tommy. That's what's called dynamic growth of the economy. Right around the election you saw when the interest rates went down because of manipulation and pressure that was put on by the Biden administration. However, we have not been to 6.5% for two years.

And we have just touched under 6.5%. So in addition to everything we're seeing here in the economy, with the Fed coming out and saying, oh, scred, all right, I'm going to lower rates on the 17th to 19th to September. I'm going to do it. And he gave that speech. And he says, you know, I've been waiting for inflation from tariffs. And this is what he said, which doesn't appear that's going to happen. So in other words, that was the Fed saying, I think there's going to be inflation from tariffs.

Well, you know what? I've been waiting long enough. It doesn't look like it's going to happen. So rather than just saying I was wrong and that there's a lot of good I like about Powell. There's a lot of good. He's had a steady hand. But on this, he'd think he waited. But right now, we've got interest rates coming down a bit.

And there's going to be in another quarter point that comes. comes out of the Fed funds rate that will influence the 10-year treasuries, which influences our mortgages. So in addition to what we're seeing here, we may get in the fall, Pat, mortgages at, could it get to 5.99 for the best qualified people? Maybe we will see. But right now, the numbers for the economy look good, but we still need factories brought back and jobs come in here.

And we need the interest rates to go down for real because that also helps the interest we're paying on the U.S. debt. It's 599 and moving out of that trailer park right quick, baby. Well, the American economy right now, it's almost like the old book, Tale of Two Cities. It was the best of the times, the worst of times. And during COVID, we learned something about the K-shaped economy, about the richer getting richer and the poor getting poor and basically the wage gap that's going on right there. There is a big difference in this country between Main Street and Wall Street. Now, if you own assets, you're probably doing pretty good right now. Assets are inflated, whether it's crypto, what's the stock market, whether these are housing prices.

But if you're not invested and you don't own appreciating assets and you're just the average guy out there, I understand why it's very frustrating. The Main Street guys out there, you know, wages are not up big time and you're not really participating in what makes America incredible, which is the stock market. So save that money and start investing, is what I'm saying. There you go. Okay, gang, well, it is Friday, weekends around the corner, and we are officially, to be exact, how many days away from the vault, Rob? We are officially 10 days away from the vault.
