Did you ever think you would make it? I said I'm so excited. I could taste sweet. I know this life's meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. The handshake is better than anything I ever size. Right here.

You are a one of one? My son's right. I don't think I've ever said this before. What do you get it from? Where do you get it? 40 million? Yeah. You tell me.

I mean, 40 million hitting in your... Of gold. Gold bars. $3.30. of those bars, plus 35 Rolexes, plus $2 million in cash, plus allegedly he said he went to Clemson University, and he went to a polytech school, all lies, every one of them lies, and he's a senior CIA officer, just so you know that. Anyways, we're talking here while Tom had to run to the restroom two or three times, and Adam's doing his bubbles. It's great to be with you guys on

Friday. He's filling up his gas tank with his coffee. We got a lot of weird stories today to go through with you. Number one, Michael Jackson Biopic. It's a story I want to cover because I'm going to share with you a part of Michael Jackson's story, I guarantee you don't know about, which is great. Maybe one of the craziest stories I read about yesterday, but the biopic

officially hit $700 million, the second most successful one of all time. You know what number one is? Bohemian Rhapsody. There's some very interesting, inspiring stories and a couple crazy stories where there's the division. We'll talk about that.

There's this U.S.-Iran deal allegedly getting done, but it's not going to be done until the president signs it. But we're kind of like waiting and saying, show me the baby. What are we doing? And then if we sign it without getting the uranium in Richmond, what are we doing signing it? What's the purpose of sign? It'll be a horrible thing if they do sign it without getting the uranium. And if we don't get that, I think it's going to be a loss of a situation of negotiation. I know if any wants to talk about it for about an hour today, I said, no, we're not going to do it.

By the way, Connor had a great line this morning. For those of you that like travel to space yesterday was a horrible day. But for those of you that like explosions, what a great day yesterday was for explosions. Maybe one of the greatest explosions of all time. The good news is nobody was heard. Thank God. That's the good news. Bezos tweeted it, and what I liked about it is Elon commented on it in a very positive way.

He could have taken a shot at him. But I thought it was a beautiful moment of trillionaires kind of talking to each other, flirting with each other. It was a good thing. This girl named Eugen Carroll. I love her. Who has a memory. He has this memory, lady, grandmother, whatever you want to say. This Eugen Carroll came out and she said she forgot who funded it.

Oh, really? And you have the document to show it, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, a guy gave it to rock. I don't know how you guys have that relationship, but it's a unique relationship. You and Gene Carroll? Got it like that. Gavin Newsom. Yesterday I'm in Dallas at an event.

We're having a good time hanging out doing our thing. And then all of a sudden, I see in Newsom. saying that they're going to tax 100% of the J6 money that they may be getting, the people that may be getting. So we're going to, if you're in California, we're going to tax it 100%.

And then Tom and I are in the car together, and we look up supremacy clause, Tom. You brought up supremacy clause. So I sent a tweet at him, and then they responded back, and it was not a good situation. We just went back and forth a couple times. Maybe we'll share that because he wants to tax

all the J-Sixers. And he did a podcast with Professor Galloway. yesterday. He wants to take the wealth tax national baby. You know what that means? It's his way of saying if you vote for me I'm going to tax all the billionaires nationwide. What a weird campaign,

but that is what he is saying. And I will talk about the $40 million in gold. Wes Moore. Come on, Wes. I'm trying to get you to see if you can get some of these independents. Wes yesterday or two days ago. Story comes out. He wants to bang clocks.

And you think that's going to work with getting independence? I mean, seriously? Do you really think that's a strategy where independents are going to be like, oh, wow, great idea. Let me go and get my Glock banned in Maryland while it has a negative net migration. You have a negative net migration. Back to back to back. Why ban Glockes? Why do this before election time? I don't know what it is. We'll talk about it. Iran, allegedly, the internet blackout is done. Rob, I think it's 88 days. What was the number, something like that? Not 88 days.

It's 85% back to normal for everybody that had Internet and Iran. And the Blackout was for quite some time. 58, it's something 8. I don't know how long the Blackout was, but 85% of the country, I think the Internet is back up now. And so we have some thoughts on that. Spencer Pratt against Karen Bass. You should see who's raised more money.

And you'll be surprised. But the polls are showing that it looks like L.A. is going to get what they want and not what they need today to kind of change it up, and that's going to be Karen Bass. But we'll see. One thing you know about this guy, Spencer Pratt, he ain't going away, okay? He's campaigning to the very last minute,

and we wish him nothing but the best. And then we have Biden. Joe Biden comes out, and she says, she thought Joe was on drugs that day, that he was drugged up. Now, maybe sometimes she drugs him, but it's a different kind of drug, like at 7 o'clock at 9.

Yes, yes. And it's like it's a gravity type of a drug. You don't tell him, though. Yeah, or the honey. You don't tell him, right? She also thought he was having a stroke. She thought all she was having a stroke. But then do you remember what she said to him afterwards?

Honey, you did great. You answered all the questions. And what did Trump do? Lie. I don't think it's coincidental that she and Hunter are both out on apology tours. It may be coincidental. You don't think so? Well, Hunter wanted to make sure you knew the cocaine wasn't his.

That's what he wanted to make sure because he does crack. He does it in the cocaine. We'll talk about Frank James. Peter Thiel. You guys know Peter Thiel, like the guy with the Roth IRA guy, the billionaire, the brilliant guy. He is so brilliant. It's not even fun. He's amazing. On a serious note, the guy is so brilliant that he scares the crap out of some people. And he all of a sudden announces he's moving to Argentina. Why would you move to Argentina? Do you like their steak? Do you think they're going to win the World Cup? Is it because you want to go hang out with Millet? Do they party better? Who knows? Nobody knows.

They do party pretty well. I've been over there. So he goes and buys the biggest possible house you can in Argentina, wait to you see the price point. It's not one of these billion-dollar homes that Ken Griffin is building or the Larry Ellison House or these Sergey Brin, 174 million-dollar house. Wait to you see how much the most biggest house in Argentina is valued at. He's escaping here, and he claims why he's got certain concerns. And then we got Vance is reconsidering running for office presidency in 2028 that's coming up. Maybe, maybe not.

And those two stories kind of go together. And then we'll have a couple of the stories. Hopefully we'll get into it as well. With that being said, Rob, do you have the video ready? Let me tell you why this is a special video. Folks, there's a big game coming up around the corner. I think nine of them are going to be in Dallas. We were at a hotel yesterday.

Everything was about the world soccer tournament that's coming out there. Everybody's going to be watching, you know, Namar, Messi. Yesterday they announced Messi's going into a Sixth World Cup. I don't know if you saw that. It's going to be crazy. It's going to be a big tournament that they're having. And so while you're going to go.

through that. Depending on the countries you're from, we have some special gear that is limited. There's not a big supply of them. And we chose the countries based on who watches the content the most. And it has the future looks bright with the country's flag. So having said that watch this video and I'll tell you what future looks bright gear we have here for you. Go ahead, Rob. Portugal, Mexico. By the way, that's Iran with the old flag. Nice. The Shahi flag of Mohammed Rizal Shah Tallah. Who is this? This is Colombia.

Colombia. Brazil. And Argentina. You know people are dancing at home right now. In the car. So remember, it's not a big supply. If you're watching this, you want to get the shirt combination. This is the U.S. hat that we have with the U.S. flag on the lid, with the soccer ball,

inside of it. These things look absolutely insane. And by the way, we didn't get a big supply of them. Some of them are, it's only 50. Like the Iran one that we have with the Shah-Han. shall I flag on the bottom of it, it's only 50. So if some of you guys are going to the game and you kind of want to wear the hat,

because they're saying you cannot wear the hat, Vinny, I don't know if I gave it to you or not. No, I don't have the Iran hat. I think it's the one more green. Is it this one here? I don't know which one it is. One of these guys that we have here. It looks ridiculous.

There you go. Look at this. On the bottom of the lid right there. I love the fact that you have. Good. Iran's, it's only 50 of them. So first come first, sir. If somebody buys 50, it's literally going to say sold out.

and then you have all the other countries and U.S. and then if you want to combine it with the shirts, Rob, if you want to go a little bit lower with the shirts, if you click on any one of those, it'll go to click on the Argentina one. View all. Actually, no, click on the Argentina one if you can, Rob. Argentina to the right.

Yeah, if you click on that, it's very obvious. Rob follows sports very closely. Go a little bit lower. There's shirts that come with it as well. Okay, we didn't make it easy for you to find the shirts. Go all the way to the top, Rob. value taming. No, go on the value taintment logo if you could. And then click on it right there. Right there, you have all of them together. Shirts, hats go a little bit lower. So buy the hats with the shirts

combined. Future looks bright. This is not going to last a long time. Represent your country while you're representing the future looks bright. With that being said, let's get right into it. First story I want to get into, we have a lot of them to get into. But the first story to get into, I know it's going to sound weird that we're getting into this. I just want to get into this one. It's the gold that was fined by an ex-senior CIA officer. Now, keep in mind, how do you find $40 million of gold, 303 bars of gold? I believe they're 2.2 pounds. 35 Rolexes, okay, $2 million of cash. And this is not a regular CIA officer.

This is a senior CIA officer that has to go through background check claimed he went to Clemson University, Clemson's like we don't have this guy's name. Claimed he went to a Polytech University, they don't have his name. Claimed he was a Navy pilot. He was a Navy reservist, but he was never a pilot. All these claims, claim, claim. How does the CIA able to check, there was a girl in the story that says, I was taking $75 from my dad and my mom that were helping me out.

The CIA comes and tells me where it's the $75 coming from. It says eventually I have to report the fact that it's coming from my mommy and my dad's bank account. They said, prove it. The girl had to show. So how is it that for $75 she got away, but the other guy, $40 million sitting in? And he says, I did it because I needed it for negotiation. And some things that I'm going with, right? And what's his name, Rod?

David Roth. David Rush, which is a, at least a good name. You've got to get a good name, strong name. So Vinny, what do you, does this story inspire you to want to be a CIA officer? Let me explain this. For a second, I was like, wait a minute, this guy has to be a cartel boss. This is Netflix. This is a documentary.

and I was like, yeah, that makes sense. But no, this is somebody tied to the intelligence community. 300, what did you say? 303 gold bars, that's not normal corruption. That's James Bond villain corruption. And then you turn on CNN, and now former intel people are basically admitting that the system can fail, polygraphs can fail, liars can beat the system, background checks fail, oversight collapses. So what are Americans supposed to trust at this point?

Pat, is it just me, guys? or is it every single day? Another story with fraud, Minnesota, government, all these people getting arrested, insider influence, peddling, missing money. And it's like, what the hell is actually going on? And the worst part is regular people like us that pay our taxes that follows the rules. You said the girl had a $75 thing. Do you remember, was it two years ago, Tommy?

They were trying to do any Venmo payment over $600, you were going to get audited by the IRS. Yeah, the banks already get a notice if you do like more than $10,000. Did you sell a car? Did you sell artwork? Got to pick out a form. And they wanted to go down to 600 for Venmo. They want to track everything being spent.

Yeah. And then, Papua, I know Doge had its moment for a little bit, but something has to be done. We're in debt and the debt clock keeps going. We have to stop. When was this guy hired? He was hired in 0809, Rob, right? I think so. Who was the director of CIA in 0809?

Who was the director of CIA 0809? 2008 is what? It was before Pompeo. Let's see who it is. Director of CIA. Oh, Hayden. Hayden and Leon Panetta. So can you type in who hired him?

Who hired this guy? I think Hayden was W. Let's look it up. And I think Panetta became... No, not who hired George Bush, Rob. Who hired... You put who hired George Bush, but we hired George Bush. Who hired the CIA guys? The people hired George Bush.

The terrorists. So Seattle's not confirmed over the 2000s. Imagine like story comes at us like a girl he was having a relationship. Okay, 09. If it's after February of 2009, that's Obama's administration. after applying three separate times. He successfully passed the agency's hiring your background check process. Tom, how do you process this?

It's not a big story. It is something that the audience needs to. You know what it gets me to go think about? Is the gold really at Fort Knox? That's a great question. Do we really have the gold in Fort Knox? I know Elon said let's get in there like a year ago or something like that. I know the president said he wants to get in there.

I know he talked about it, I think, three or four weeks ago. But why don't you get in there with the camera? And then have people pick up the gold. Let's see what's going on. where do you get this $40 million worth of gold? Tom, your thoughts on this story? Well, first of all, I agree with the point on Fort Knox, and I'll underline it this way. This is not the Kennedy assassination in a secret file that we don't want everybody to see.

This is not Martin Luther King. Did James Earl Ray really leave the gun there? This is not any of those conspiracy things. Area 51 and the alleged, you know, unbelievable, you know, quasi-aluminum metal that we found out there in the middle of the desert. Isn't any of that? walk into what is supposed to be the repository of the nation's gold, open the central vaults, and count it. Yeah.

And lift it up and put it on a scale. Is this that, I mean, what is this? To me, Pat, that's point two. Point one is, you know how many of these CIA guys are out there going rogue? I mean, you know, Hollywood picks up on it and does things. But I remember back when I had a publisher, I talked to two researchers that research on the CIA, which also was called Company Men. And they were looking back at, like, Michner.

There was a great author named Mitchner who wrote these spy novels. And they said there was an unbelievable amount of correct framework that were in these novels of that's the way it works. And the stories of what's called Company Men, oh, who do you work for? I work for the company.

And internationally, that's slang for, oh, I'm a spook. Right. And in the clear and present danger, you know, Harrison Ford takes out a business card and says, do you take a company check? And it said CIA. So that's Hollywood sensationalizing it. But the truth was there has been money and gold that's been given by the CIA to foreign informants to people all the time. Remember, you know what gold was, Vinny? The original Bitcoin.

Yeah. Untraceable currency. Melt it. Make it into other. That's right. Melt it. Make it into something else. No, now these are South America.

It's hard to travel with. It's hard to travel with. What if I'm a rapper, though? But, Pat, once you melt it and then turn it into, make it look like Coogarans from South Africa, you could do anything with the gold as long as you get it. I want to know if a gold is for it knocks. And it does not surprise me that a guy like this coming from the land of spooks that we're doing this sort of thing over and over again, money going back and forth, arms going back and forth.

What do we think the Iran-Contra arms scandal was about? You get the Coke. They get the guns. We get the money. These people get everybody's happy. Now, this guy shows up. He's been in the middle of this. I believe that he was in the middle of this.

But what now, right? Adam. I love this story, man. I got to tell you. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of the movie. Catch me if you can. Frank.

Abingale. Frank Abignale. Yep. Abignale. I said it correctly. I love that movie. It's one of my favorite movies. You know, I don't watch movies.

But Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom, By the way, he was like a high school kid. That's why they couldn't track him. He was using names that he learned in a comic book. But every story here, this guy, how he acquired all this money and all these gold bars and these luxury watches, he faked his credentials, just like Catch Me If You Can. He lied about his military record. He has said that he attended elite pilot training programs.

If you remember, the movie Catch If You Can. He was basically a fake pilot. So what's my point with all this? Because I know everybody wants to know what's my point. Let's use everything he learned on defrauding everything as a source for good to catch more criminals. Because if you remember what Frank Abignali ended up doing. Working for the- He ended up working for, I believe, the FBI. So let's take this guy and give him a shout out.

Rush. What's his name? David. David Rush. Let's make him the new Frank Abignali clearly is good at his job in defrauding people. He's looking to the side. He's looking at his gold. The last thing I'll tell you about this guy is, I received.

I respect the fact that he saved that money. He didn't blow it on all sorts of crazy. But Adam, think about it. This is one instance. Imagine all the other guys that are CIA that have all this money and they're using it for negotiation. That piss me off. By the way, the money, do you know how much we have at Fort Knox? Can you pull up how much do we have at Fort Knox?

Gold or cash? No, no. The actual gold that we have at Fort Knox, $692 billion of gold, if priced at $4,700. Okay. what is it say for you? No, no, no, you don't have the right number. Book value is not $6.22 billion, Rob. It's way more than $6.22 billion.

No, that's cash. How much is the gold in Fort Knox? There you go, $700 billion. Yeah. $700 billion is what they have. They booked it at that number in 73. So it's gone from $6.22 to $700 billion, but people just want to see it.

Let's just open it up and see it. That's the point. Just open it up to see it. What is the drama with Fort Knox? Why can't they open it? Because there is a lot. By the way, do you know how many people in the history of it have actually visited? No, I don't know.

I won't understand that. You really don't know this? Yeah, please. Rob, pull up how many presidents have actually visited Fort Knox. One of them didn't even get to see it. They just visited the building. I think historically, I don't know if any president has been inside of Fort Knox. Okay, so the controversy is why hasn't any president visited the Fort Knox visited Fort Knox?

And that's where a lot of people are wondering. Yeah, FDR, what is it say? that's not visited and inspected the gold depository in 1943, and he visited a one and only time the gold vault. Truman visited it, but watch this. Official records are inclusive, inconclusive. Some historians' local accounts mention a possible visit while the U.S. Mint had stated Roosevelt

as the only president to have known that signed a depository visitor lock. So presidents have never visited. Why not? People want to know. Why not? Why are you not going there? What's the big deal?

And here's the president when he was asked about it three weeks. ago. Go ahead, Rob. What happened to the audit of Fort Knox? Which one are you talking about? I think when you first got into office, you and Elon Musk talked about auditing the gold and make sure it's there. We wanted to go knock on the door, Fort Knox, a very thick door, and to see whether or not we have any gold in there, you know, because we take a look at it's a very interesting

question, yeah? We played with that. I wonder if they left the gold in Fort Knox because they steal a lot. You kidding me? You don't need to really do that, though? What is Truman known for? Dropping what? What?

Trump? Truman is known for the nuclear bomb, right? Okay, what is FDR known for? You know, depression, you know, all the social security programs, all the entitlement program. Yeah, the New Deal. And you mean to tell me since then nobody has visited? Little weird. Let's go to the next story.

He goes, let's see if any gold is even in there. What does that even mean? That's the conversation. That's why people are saying what they're saying about this. Now, let's go to the next story. Yesterday, guys, I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. I'm just going to go through it. So Iran-US deal.

Allegedly, they're waiting on Trump's signature, and here's what's been agreed upon so far. 60-day ceasefire. Hormuz reopening. It's in-draft, unrestricted vessel movement, must reopen fully, free transit, not the $2 million. U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports to be lifted, and a nuclear talk start.

This is the draft to start. What has not been negotiated if they pursue with the 60-day is the sanctioned relief, money, the $24 billion or so, the Iran missile drone program, Lebanon-Hasbola linkage, and Abraham Accord linkage. So the enriched uranium is not part of this first 60-day ceasefire. I don't like this idea of doing this and signing this, and they're waiting on the president to sign it while you don't have it. And the president said something very important yesterday when he was asked about he says, who should get that enriched uranium? Are you okay if China or Russia get it? Rob, do you have

that clip? Yep. Go for it. Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice. I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community. Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime. I wonder if my head of office has a forever setting.

Or China taking their stockpile of highly and the end of uranium and have they offered to do it? No, I wouldn't be comfortable. That would not make me comfortable. Okay, so he said that. And then there's a bunch of other things that's going on with this year. Iraq, which one is this? This is where the president talks about reopening the straight of Hormuz and who would control it. Go for it.

Iran wants control of the straight of Hormuz. Would you accept a short-term deal that allows Iran and Oman to control the straight? And would they have to open it immediately? Or would you be open to that happen? over a period of time. No, the straight's going to be open to everybody. And who would control it? It's international waters.

Nobody's going to control it. We're going to watch over it. We'll watch over it. But nobody's going to control it. That's part of the negotiation that we have. They would like to control it. Nobody's going to control it. It's international waters.

And Oman will behave just like everybody else who will have to blow them up. They understand that. By the way, that's the part where a lot of people are saying, bombing U.S. allies. sparks confusion in the wild cabinet meeting. Tom, your thoughts on the story? I don't know what to say. Only two ships made it in the last 24 hours.

About 12 ships made it two days ago. It's still meager. People have got oil supplies and dwindling everywhere. Reserves are down, even for the U.S. And so this needs to get done. But it just seems like we're almost there yet again. We're almost there yet again. That's what it feels like, Pat.

And I want to give negotiators from negotiate and go get it done. Oil's down $1.50 this morning, 87. So clearly the markets feel we're close to something. Stock market is up another half a percent across the indexes today, Dow, S&P, NASDAQ, all about a half a percent up, Pat. So the markets clearly believe in perception that we're getting there. They were getting close to... By the way, news just broke right now, that U.S. Iran peace still were

reportedly includes a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran per New York Times. Cali she just tweeted this. Who's going to pay for that? Exactly. The question. So $300 billion right there, Rob. Do you have it? $300 billion.

Go to news. See if news pops up. Go to the news side. Hang on. Let's do a seance for the ghost of you know who and see if Halliburton get the deal. Yeah, there is the story of New York Times. So $300 billion. So Vinny, where are you at with this?

I'm just, oh, Pat. I'm so over it. I don't want to waste that much time. I'm just done. I'm done. You're over it? Yeah, I'm just every day. It's like, it's like a parent coming home pack going,

guys, we're going to go to Disneyland. And they go, okay, not today. We're going to go next to me. If you clean your room. Up, not clean enough. And I'm like, bro, I don't, I don't even want to go at this point. I don't want to go to Disneyland. I don't think you're alone, I think a lot of people are where you are right now.

But the reason you feel that way, because it's not affecting your life at all other than a couple bucks in gas, which I appreciate. No, what do you mean? It's not affecting me. I'm saying every day it's like, we're going to do this. Adam, I'm not, I'm not, it's not, it's not, obviously it's affecting everybody, but it's like friends and family everywhere reaching out to me about the economy.

You're negotiating with, you're negotiating. I want to help. You're negotiating with people. Let's have to see what Adam wants. Adam, but you know, go ahead. Make my point. I know, I'm making a point because you were wrong where you said. We're negotiating with a regime, Adam, that kills its own people that says they want to kill us,

and we're going back and forth. You think it's ever going to be, like, you know, he made a. great point on Monday. They're celebrating. You know what Iran is doing right now? Weren't you the guy that said you don't want to talk about this 10 seconds? No, but you, but I'm responding to your comment. I'm responding to your comment because you said, oh, I know it doesn't affect your life. What do you mean it doesn't affect my life? I'm just tired of hearing this. Yes or no, just come to us with the news. Come with us when it's done. Because this whole, everybody's tired of it. Everybody's tired of it. It's not just me. Trust me. There's a lot of

people. Well, you made your point. I'm proud of your brother. Thank you. What I meant by it's not affecting your life is if you don't turn on the news, this doesn't affect your life. I was Memorial Day last week, the city of Miami Beach put together. There's an amazing event, which I think Valutamed should consider doing a part of it. It was so incredible. They had the blue angels and the pilots and everything. And these planes, let me tell you something, are the loudest things you've ever seen in your life. I mean, we're right here.

And I said to the guy, I go, thank God we're watching this with so much joy and patriotism and love for the country. because these planes, you know, these things are flying over our head, they're actually used in other countries to drop bombs and scare the hell out of people. So when I said it's not affecting your life, I mean, thank God we have the luxury of living in America. And the worst that we're dealing with right now are some extra couple bucks in gas prices, which I get it. But the fact that these planes are being used to basically don't make us go back to Epic Fury. Right now we're in Economic Fury. And ultimately this comes down to three major points.

and I think Newt Greenridge actually put together a little plan that Trump should. He said, number one, number one, number one is no nuclear. Stop it. It's not happening. If that's not included in the deal, we're done here. I'm with that. Because if even the 60 days you sign without that, there's no deal without the nuclear component. No, by the way, even forget about all the argument

where you're doing it for this, you're doing it for the Iranian people, you're the puppet, you're the this. If you do it in the original deal without the enriched uranium, you mean to tell me you trust that Iran in the next 60 days? You're giving them more time to do whatever they were. No, no, no. Nothing happens without that being number one period. I hope the president doesn't sign it without the enriched uranium being lifted out of there by U.S., by U.S. And that would be a celebration. Then you can go and talk about all the other stuff. Yeah, it's a non-starter without. But the reason why that is happening, Adam,

is because the world is putting a lot of pressure on the state of Hormuz being. open. So the Strait of Hormuz impact economy, the world economy, the global economy. But the enriched uranium impact his reputation of who negotiate the terms better. So to me, those are two different audiences to please. I fully agree with you. And ultimately what I was saying, there was three major components here. Number one was no nuclear, which were on the same page, I believe. Number two is stop funding terrorism with money and missiles. Stop. Like, we're not doing this. And we'll talk about economy in a second. And the number three, like you said, said is the Hormuz issue, and he said it's international waters.

No one's going to control it. But I'll ask you this, Pat. If they end up Iran doing the deal, you're a great negotiator businessman. They do the deal. What Iran is going to get is one thing. Money or sanctions relief. We ask where all the billions are coming from. It's going to come from all the sanctions and economic ties to basically putting Iran as a,

as a, the smelly kid in the playground, what I call him. But I'll ask you this. Ready? when they do this deal, do you trust that they're actually going to follow through with the deal, Iran? I don't. But the bigger question is this. When they get this, whatever, however many, $100 billion.

$300 billion. What are the chances that they're going to use it to improve the lives of everyday Iranians? I think zero. Why? Because there's one piece of evidence that pointing that they'll never do this. Because they'll kill you if you speak out. So you're asking a regime

to basically intake all this money. There was no question there. So what's your point? point is this, do you trust the Iranian regime to actually use this money to help the people of Iran? Yeah. Of course the answer is no. Okay. You don't trust it. Of course you know. But guys, let's let's not get a twisted. As a leader, who got elected to be the president? Donald J. Trump. And who gets to make the final decision? Donald J. Trump. He does. And who has more information than anybody else in the way? And with that, he has decided that regime collapse and regime change is not on the table and it's not important to him.

He has decided that. Others who came and encouraged people to go out there and protest and be in the streets who were slaughtered, who said they had access to military leaders that are flipping, they ought to be held accountable for it. Because you claim military leaders were flipping, and you had nobody. And I'm talking about Reza Palavi.

Yeah, I noticed that. That right there is something that will be held accountable. To me, he has sat there and said, this is not a top issue for me. I didn't campaign on this. I will get rid of the enriched uranium, and I will open up the Strait of Hormuz, and we will take it from there. And by the way, he forced the position where the Internet blockout in Iran, which Iran's president ends the Internet blackout orders, access to be restored. And so imagine for how long Iranians have been wanting to show their country what's going on.

It's been officially lifted. Pazirchian came out on Monday, restored the international internet access after 90-day block. blackout, the decree aimed at restoring internet access to the pre-January state was communicated to the Minister of Communication by the President, Iran's news agency says. And so for the past five months, officials in Iran have carried out executions of individuals allegedly involved in planning, facilitating, and supporting demonstrations. It's now 87 consecutive days, that's the day I was saying, of Iran's Internet blackout, which has been in place for over 2064 hours, net blocks, a London-based Internet watchdog organization says,

measure has eliminated any transparency. So you know why this is important to me? Tell me. Because now is the Iranian people, I hope they're sharing what's going on in there, and that's going to get the negotiation to be a little bit choppy. Because if Iranians all of a sudden coming out and saying, hey, what are we doing with this negotiation? We don't trust these guys. Why are we doing this? Or if they don't, that's going to be a little bit of inventory of knowledge that we need to see what they're independently going through. But, For me, I think if the president at all is going to be thinking about, you know, how to go about this, I wouldn't do without the enrichment. I'm sure it's not as easy as, well, it's easy for you to say, we got to go find a way to get it out.

We need to get these people out that. We need to do this. I totally get that. The logistics are the logistics. But if a deal comes out going into the World Cup, hey, we did the deal, but we left the enriched uranium, I don't think it's a good way. No, no, I don't think you do. I don't think you do one follow up. Yeah.

I want to move on. And what you basically said. the Crown Prince Reza Palavi is a lot of the people that went out and protested and gave their life for this cause, some of that is on his dime, his watch. That's kind of how I interpreted that. Of course, it was very thorough. I was very clear about it. Of course it is. Because if I tell you, Adam, right now, trust me, I need you to go protest because I got the governor showing up and I got the military leaders shown up and I got these people showing up. You say, okay, Pat, I trust you. I Go out there. One week, two weeks. Three of your guys get killed. Pat, six weeks, seven weeks,

40 of your guys get killed. And you're like, where's the military leader? Where's the governor? You know, I changed my mind. My cousin's coming. No, no. You can't do that. Last question. Yeah. What are the chances that Shah Rezapal and Trump are even communicating at this point? No, it's not. If he did, look, he's not a Shah, by the way. He's just a regular guy. He's not even a crown prince because he is the son of the Shah. Got it. So if he wants to be a monarchist, then he can claim he's a crown prince, but he claims he's not a monarchist. So make a decision who you are and what you want to do.

If he was, how many times, like what have you heard the president say about Netanyahu? What words does he use? He said he'll do whatever he wants me to do. Is he complimentary of him? Pretty much. Yeah. Is he complimentary of Xi? He does.

He does. He's a friend. Is he complimentary of Putin? He says he's disappointed. Tell me who else he's complimentary of, world leaders. Well, I got to be honest with you, Trump is way more diplomatic this time around. So even if it's like an enemy like she, he's a great guy. He does that.

By the way, how many endorsements out of endorsements did he get $119 out of $119 or $118 out of $1.18? He went on defeated. Why hasn't he come out and said something hardcore supportive? That's what I'm wondering. But that's the point. If a person doesn't, don't wonder. It's an answer. Wow.

A non-endorsement is a endorsement. Correct. It's a form of a statement that a person's making. So why? It is. And so the market can get upset. By the way, I'm telling you right now, watch what's going to happen with the level of hate

the monarchists are going to have towards Trump and they're going to put the entire thing on him, not on anybody else. Just wait. Wait, we're going to walk the streets when we go to certain places. Okay. And monarchists are going to pull. up. It's 50-50. They'll come up and say, by the way, privately, I agree with you. Of course. I wish you

would have a little bit more of a backbone, okay? I'll share a message a few of them I just got today this morning. But you know some of them? Why are you, it's unfair? Why are you doing this? No, no. It's not unfair. I sat this one out for him to get the job done. And what happened? That's on your guy, not anybody else's guy. So either you're going to do it or you're not going to do it. You mean to tell you couldn't get in front of the president to get endorsement? They're pretty accessible. This is the more successful administration you've ever had. The most. Not like you don't have an accessible administration.

And it has a house. But I'm making a prediction. Just watch. They're going to blame the president on this. They're going to blame the president on this. You're saying American Persians? American pro-Rezza monarchists who want to fantasize with it going back to where it was, which I don't blame them.

Because I fantasize with Mohamed Reza Shah Palavi. I have a flipping painting in my house of him. I have all this, any magazine he was ever on the cover of, I have it in my house. I have coins that was given by him to people in my safe. I have gold stuff that it was from. I had this paper, the letter cutter that he had, a gift was given to me.

That's the painting I get criticized for. And look who's sitting right in the middle of this painting. It's not like I put anybody else in the middle of the painting. He's in the middle of it. Why do you think he's sitting at the middle of it? There's a reason for it. When I was born, he was the king of Iran for three months. And then he was an exile.

And then Khomeini came. So the last time Iran was great and the Middle East was safe was him. Was him. But to assume automatically that the son is him and he's been living in America for 47 years, they have to re-stratage and move on. It sounds like you're a monarchist just not for the sun. I am. Let me state of what I am.

I'm not a monarchist. I'm a capitalist. I'm a republic. how America was built. I'm for America, 100%, right? But if I look back and say, when was the last time Iran was at peace? And the Middle East was at peace, was when Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi was the leader of Iran. Okay, you can go up and say, well, Savak this, Savok that, no problem. Everybody has a Savak. Our Savak is CIA. UK Savak is MI6. And trust me, MISIC has a nasty history because they trained everywhere.

The OG Savak is MI6. The Mossad, all these other guys you want to talk about, they have their own thing. The KG, you can go and talk about a lot of these different systems on how it is. But I want to get to the next story that we have here. So that's that my, truly my prayers are for Iranian people because I would love to be able to go back and visit Iran. And I don't think the odds went up. I don't think the odds went up. But my prayers with the Iranian people behind closed doors. They have to find a way to rally behind somebody that they can make some movements happen. This lowered the odds for them. This is the closest they have come for 47 years. And so we'll see. Now, meanwhile, while we're talking about all this stuff with the most accessible president in the history of America, no president's been more accessible, let me give you the antonym of what accessible is. Great word, Pat.

There's a guy named Joe Biden. So Joe Biden's wife, Jill, comes out and says she was worried. when he did the debate with the president, and she said she thought he was drugged. And she said this in an interview. Rob, which clip do you have, by the way? Both of them? This is the clip where she says that she was concerned during the debate, and then I have one about him and his cognitive decline. Go for it. Go for it.

Horrified as you saw it unfold? I wasn't horrified. I was frightened because I had never, ever seen Joe like that. What's the difference between the horrified and fright? Horrified is you saw a car accident. Frighton is a pit bulls in front of you. What is the difference? They're both scary. Yeah.

Go ahead. We finally beat Medicare. Thank you, President Biden. Before or since? Never. Or since? Yes. Or since.

You've never seen them like that. Never. No. What happened? I don't know what happened. I mean, as I watched it, I thought, oh my God, he's having a stroke. And it scared me to death. Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question.

You knew all the questions. Oh, my God. You answered every question. That's me so funny. And let me ask the crowd. What did Trump do? Live! Yeah.

So, I mean, listen, that's politics. That's optics. Yeah. And which is, and which ones this one, Ron? This is the cognitive decline question. Go for it. Did you ever see signs that he was falling into cognitive decline. No.

No. Come on, man. Truly. No. I mean, people were saying he wasn't the same Joe Biden. Well, I don't think that's true. He was the essence of the same Joe Biden.

But, yeah, he was slowing down. He was getting older. I mean, we all observed that. You know, it's a very intense job. I think it ages you. I'm going to come to you first. Go ahead. Shame. on her. Like she, and check the tapes. I've never used the, the phrase gaslighting. That's what it is.

No, Adam, I swear to you guys, I agree, 48 years old. This is the first time I'm actually saying it. Now I get, that's what gas lighting is. Are you freaking kidding me? By the way, anytime anybody in this administration, the past administration or the Jake Tappers, anytime, always pay attention, there has to be a book coming out. What's the name of her memoir? That's the only reason she's in front of a That's the only reason she's at CBS. It's called A View from the East Wing. And it's her just looking at Hunter probably dropping the cocaine in every freaking room. Okay, it's unbelievable.

The cognitive decline. Everybody saw it in real time, but everybody knew exactly what was going on, Pat. The Karin Jean-Pierrez, the J-Eye, everybody that sat there was like, no, he's the sharpest I've ever seen. He's sharpest. Give me a break. We all saw it. And that's the scariest part is, we were screaming. from the rooftop, but there was nothing that we could do.

When he was being just coddled and, you know, every time that there was questions, they would rush him off and they'd be like, you guys aren't crazy, you're being stupid. He's the greatest president and given the stats. Gavin Newsom was one of those people. And I just think it's sad and it's disgusting. And at the same time, Joe Biden right now is suing the DOJ to stop the release of audio recordings from his interview with the special counsel Robert Herpat because they're arguing that those tapes are going to reveal how gone.

he was. But it's just, it's crazy to me that we're going to pretend still to this day. It's been two years that he was okay. And he was making the decisions. Remember, they interviewed all his doctors and everybody. They all pled the fifth. Was he all there? We plead the fifth. And a lot of people were saying that there was two people running the show. One was that guy, who was it? Tommy the guy with the glasses? A no-name guy. A no-name guy. No-name guy. But he's a heavyweight. And Jill Biden, they were saying a lot of people were saying, like, I think you had her, um, Lindy Lee was one of the people that was like, Jill Biden was pretty much one of the people that was calling the job.

She was the president of the United States. I just think, Pat, again, we have to fix. What's the solution? Going forward every single year, the president of the United States has to sit live and do a nonpartisan cognitive test so we could see. I don't care if it's take the square, put it in the box. We have to do that because that's unbelievable that they let it happen for that long. Rob, what clip is this?

This is the president. He was asked during the cabinet meeting earlier. this week regarding the lawsuit. What are your thoughts? Why do you think that Joe Biden is trying to sue the Department of Justice, former President Joe Biden, to have his tapes that he did interviews on, blocked from the American people hearing them? Do you think that he's trying to hide something?

And maybe an acting attorney general Todd Blanche could comment on if they will counter sue and release those tapes to the American public. Are you doing about it with respect to his book? Respect to his mouth. Well, I'd like to see it. I don't know. Maybe there's some constitutional reason. I don't know.

I would like to see what he has to say because we could never allow what happened to this country the man was grossly incompetent and the Democrats I call them the Democrats because the policy is so bad but they came very close to destroying our country we can never let it happen again

and I hope that you're able to produce that I think it would be very interesting reading for people This episode is brought to you by FedEx these days the public the power move isn't having a big metallic credit card to drop on the check at a corporate launch. The real power move is leveling up your business with FedEx intelligence and accessing one of the biggest data networks powered by one of the biggest delivery networks. Level up your business with FedEx, the new power move.

Well, Biden was the last moderate that we've seen running for president or any part of the Democratic Party. go down a whole rabbit hole of how they've become complete socialist. And it was this bag of bones that was basically keeping this thing together. But you know what reminds me of? It's like one of those things where it's like, nobody just gives up power. You have to take it. And nobody's just going to say, yeah, you know, my husband's the president or I'm the president. Here you go, guys, I'm done.

You know, like, remember when Michael Frenzis was here the other day? And they go, you know, what do you think about a Meyer Landske? Great guy. What a guy. Yeah. Lucky Luciano. Hey, listen. Wonderful guy.

There's this famous clip that you see about these guys when, like, I think John Gotti got arrested and they asked him about him in New York. He's like, what about all the murders? He's like, what murder? What about all the crime? No, he's a great guy. Politics is just like the mafia.

You have, by the way, even more power and more control. So don't forget, Jill Biden is a gangster. Jill Biden is a gangster. She was basically saying, know my husband is basically weekend at Bernie's, weekend at Biden's, I'm going to get up there and do a whole spiel to keep power.

Of course. Think about what kind of gangster that is this woman is? All of them. So don't be fooled that she's an elementary school teacher and you answered all the questions. She's like, I'm living in the White House right now and you think I'm going to give this up to this orange clown? I'm going to lie about everything.

So I respect her hustle. Thank God he'd win, though. How about some receipts? Want some receipts? I love Let's play fun with receipts. Yes. The Biden administration presented the National Archives with a plan and a price tag for the Biden presidential library. It was $200 million. As of last January 1st, January 1st at the time Trump was inaugurated, how much had been raised from donors?

Remember, it's four months after the election. That is embarrassing, Tom. What is it? Four million dollars. Oh, my. Wow. Hang on. They've still been trying to get things raised, and how much have they raised?

As of right now, barely 10, they think they'll have 11.3 by the end of this year in seven months. For a library. For the library. And by the way, by the way, our good and great friend John Morgan, who's a very funny guy, but also personal injury attorney, who favors the policies of the Democrats that protect personal injury attorneys. Well, hang on. Last fall around Halloween, he asked for a refund of his $800,000. and he said, I don't think the library is ever going to get built unless it's an old school bookmobile.

Because, you know, John is very sarcastic. And John, if you're listening, I'm trying to get your quote right, but that's what you said. And so this is where it is. So why is Hunter going out? Why is this book going out? They apparently have been using Hunter in the book on the psychology tour and they've been reaching out to donors. So there's some of the receipts. They're also worried about, Pat, you always talk about it, legacy.

and what is more legacy than a presidential library? And this is the first of the last 15 presidents that doesn't look like he's going to have a library. Not even close. By the way, to say, great job. And if they do, like, what are you going to do going to the library? What's in the library? Sponsored by some of them.

Like, what will be in the library? I mean, look, if Hunter Biden's cocaine is there, I think that'll bring people. All you have to do is take a little bit of flour, put it on a Ziploc, put it there and say, this is allegedly Hunter Biden's cocaine. I would fly to wherever that is. Maybe a sponsorship, like no dose?

I would go to see that. Zigzag or? Isn't that kind of like, well, I mean, technically they were saying too that Obama. Yeah, you guys remember when Obama did that interviewer is like, yeah, I wish I, I would like to do a third term. Like maybe have the president up there and I would just be in his ear. It's pretty clearly obvious that Biden wasn't in charge. Who was calling the shots for the country? Vinnie, Vinnie, the most embarrassed.

By the way, Vinny, the most embarrassing thing to me is that every time. somebody ends up becoming a president. Guys go out, Rob, can you pull up how much money was raised for the last six presidents for their library? How much money was raised for the last six presidents for their library?

Obama went back for a 33% overrun, and he got it. Massive, if you think about how much Obama got. But I just want to know the last few presidents, okay, look at Obama. One and a half billion dollars to build his library. And if you look at Trump,

up, it went into overrun. $9.50 to a billion to put a place here. George Bush, by the way, it's a beautiful library for George Bush. Clinton, 20 years ago, 165, George H.W. Bush, 83 million.

Reagan, 30 years ago, 100 million. Today, Biden, 4 million? What? But it tells you that 2020 election maybe was fake. wasn't a real president.

Weird. When it's this kind of support that comes up, this questions a lot of other things. Can I agree in Baltimore? Go for it. I think to put a ribbon on this thing, June 27, 2024 was the date

of this disaster debate, the date of the debate. His fate was sealed on that stage. If Biden would have done the thing that nobody does is give up power and say, guys, what I was supposed to do,

It was you elected me to take over the driver's seat from Trump. I did my job. Thank you for allowing me and giving me the confidence to serve this country for four years. Due to my health issues, I'm stepping down to spend more time with my family, et adity. But I have trained Kamala Harris or whoever it may be a primary. People would have said, wow, you know what, respect to you, Joe. And his legacy would have lived on forever. But because this guy had so much pride,

ego, people in his ear, Jill Biden saying, you got this Joe run. His fate was sealed and his library was not built because of that debate performance, in my opinion. Adam, is it possible he was so far gone that he couldn't make that determination and people just carried him along? I'm not that far. I'd like to move on. This is not that important. It's just something that happened. I mean, it's worth.

Just like his library. Yeah, exactly. Let's go to the next one. The next one I'm going to get to is a story about Peter Thiel. okay Theo, Teal, you know,

Peter Thiel, billionaire who a lot of people say, you know, back in the days they used to say the Koch brothers,

hey, brother, what can I get you for your birthday? Which president would you like? Right? That was a joke,

that they would pick presidents. That's our powerful people. The Koch brothers. The Koch brothers. Yeah. The Coke brothers. Not C-O-K-E.

No, that's the Biden brothers. Yeah. Now the Coke brother. So today, a lot of people say he is one of those guys. He chooses presidents.

And a lot of people said, he's the one that chose, what do you call it, J.D. Vance. He's one of the big reasons why J.D. became a VP. And his goal is that maybe by 2028, J.D. becomes a president. Everything I just said is allegedly, okay? Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, and this is why you always wear the allegedly hat or the shirt to protect yourself. But everything here is allegedly that we're talking about. So here's Peter Thiel.

Peter Thiel is decamping to the end of the world. The billionaire's new roots is now in Argentina said to be partly motivated. by concerns about the future of the U.S. and shared belief with Argentinians' right-wing leader, which happens to be Miele. And by the way, respectfully, Melae's still in the partying phase. Trump's not. Melae's single.

He can still part. He's probably more fun to be around than Trump today. Trump's all business today, right? So let me read this to you. Saturday tournament at Bonas Iris Chess Club hosted. It's a usual lineup of players, including an accountant, college student school, but at this time the luncheon,

hunched over the club's tiny wooden table with them was a new entrant, which is who? Peter Thiel, the right wing tech billionaire and Trump owner. So they go into the whole thing. And then Rob, if you want to pull up the story with the house that he bought, the $12 million house he bought apparently the biggest house in Argentina was only $12 million. And if you go look at this, and maybe this will inspire some people to go, can we see the house or we can't get any of the details of the house?

Does it show us any pictures of the house or no? Can we find out how big it is? Is that the one? There it is. That's the one right there. Will we get any pictures? Okay, that's the house that he bought. $12 million.

Go back to see what style. The property spans about 1,600 square meters, roughly 17,000 square feet. It sits in Barrio Park, one of the city's most elite embassy line neighborhoods where trophy homes rarely come to market. Go next, Rob, to see what else we have there. Okay.

All right, pretty nice house. 17,000 square foot house, big house, 12 million bucks. Tom, what do you think, Peter Thiel moved to Argentina. Do you agree that that's the reason? Because Humberto earlier told me the two countries that are robbed, do you have that line with a missile where the missile can reach? I don't know if you have that or not.

There's a picture that Humberto shared with us. Red one? Yes. If you look at the picture of Humberto, if you want to send it to him, you'll see there's a line where certain places in the world you can live in that that country is safe. They're not going to be hit by it. And this happens to be one of the places, if you zoom in.

Look at this. And what do they call this, Rob? The line, there's a word for this line. Fun fact, there are more billionaires' doomsday bunkers in New Zealand than the rest of the world combined. One of the main reasons for this, no idea. Anyway, here is the alleged range of Israel's Jericho three nuclear missiles. Zoom in? Go back to the picture.

So look at Australia on the right, New Zealand, on the left, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico. Okay, places to be. Tom, why do you think Peter Thiel power player moved to Argentina? Well, first of all, you got to look at it, the face value of what he said. I'm concerned about the United States. I'm concerned about the direction. You know, I think a lot of people can say that right now. You know, I'm concerned.

I have faith in the leadership, but I'm concerned. I'm concerned about what the next chapter could be. I look at the next chapter at AOC and Newsom. I can hardly say his name. And I see issues that concern me, deeply concern me. And if I had enough wealth, would I make a bet? Look, he's so wealthy. He's not moving his entire wealth and moving everything down to be taxed in Argentina.

They've moved down there. He's got a residency, and he says he's moving the kids down there, you know, for school. Now, if he's on, remember, we know a little bit about this, Pat. Where is he? He's down Embassy Park, right? I mean, Barrio Park, which is where all the embassies are. So guess what it, guess what's down there? Really good schools.

You look at any of the major countries in a world and down by the embassies where ambassadors and people live, there's usually a great school called the international school. And you can put your kids there. So I think he's, you know what? I think he's putting a chip on red and just saying, you know what, I'll get a house down here. I'll do this down here. And then think of it as a bunker in plain sight, Pat. You know, billionaires are supposedly building bunkers, supposedly, you know, Zuckerberg built one over in Hawaii.

And so billionaires are always looking at plan B. I think this is Peter Thiel, Plan B in plain sight. I think that's what's going on. And it concerns me because I wish he wasn't thinking you needed a plan B. That's what disappoints me. Adam. I think it's a non-story. Listen, $12 million for a house in Buenos Aires, South.

Washington is nothing. He's worth how many billion? I'm going 20 plus billion. You know, if you know anything about Peter Thiel, I like what Tim Dillon had to say about him. He goes, you know, Silicon Valley, PayPal Mafia, tech founder, you know, likes tennis, but also in his spare time, concerned about the Antichrist, kind of his thing.

Kind of scary. It's kind of like how Tucker's like, what was another joke about it. He's like, he likes hunting, fishing, chew and dip, but also Sharia law and Qatar. It's kind of his thing. So this whole situation where Peter Thiel, by the way, where's Peter Thiel from? Germany. This isn't the first time of German, you know, conveniently move down to Argentina.

We won't go there today, Ombardo. But the reality is, I don't think this is a big deal. I think he's just buying a property where he wants to be and good for him. Well, that's another way to look at it. But Adam, when somebody to me is talking, giving speeches of the. Antichrist and he's also talked about the apocalypse and he's also talked about Armageddon in past speeches. It should be a little bit wary that the guy's leaving after he invested how many millions of dollars did he put into J.D. Vance and then we hear a story that J.D. Vance might not run.

And if you think about it, that's J.D. Vance and it's all starting to make sense. J.D. Vance is in these rooms saying, you know, remember the president said he's less enthusiastic about this war. I think he's distanced himself to her. Guess what? if this war keeps happening like we keep hearing every week it says it's it going to stop why not distance yourself get out of the freaking way because you know whoever's going to be attached to it either it be mark or rubio or whoever they're going to pin this whole thing and say where you were the one that wanted it and you wanted to do it

where were you yeah where were you so if you think about it i mean if we have that you do the nancy pelosi tracker we should have a billionaire tracker find out where these people are going mark zuckerberg bought bunkers and second homes abroad yeah exactly Mark Zuckerberg bought a freaking $200 million bunker in Hawaii. Why? What are the... Adam, these people are very, very smart.

They know all the algorithms. What do you talk about? He's moving his kids there. By the way, I'm pretty sure he's, is he gay? Peter Thiel? Yeah. Oh, so he bought, so the kids that he's not gay, but his husband is. His boy, his husband is.

So they've, when people say him and his kids, they're not his kids. He paid for these kids. I hear you. Yeah. And I'll just wrap this up real quick. I hear you. I understand. There's a lot of doomsday preppers.

I'll just say this. this was that I'm doing. I'm not betting against America. I'm not moving anywhere. You hear these stories of all time that people are moving. We had a guy, EMPs, remember he came on twice, Pat? He was sort of a doomsday prepper. What was his name?

Forgive me? I don't know, but I do know he died. Oh, Peter Pry. Peter Pry. Respect, you know, rest and peace. I'm not betting against America. I don't think you should bet against America. I'm never betting against America.

I doubt anyone is moving anywhere. By the way, if you move to Argentina, you know what's so amazing about, Don't cry from your Argentina. That's the mistake is. The Misery Index in Argentina is ridiculous. Misery? Misery index in Argentina, which is basically inflation and unemployment.

It's some of the worst in the world. Almost as bad as Iran. Almost as as as bad as Zimbabwe. That's how bad it is in Argentina. That's why Millet got elected, by the way, with this chainsaw. When you're worth a couple of dollars. When you're worth $20 billion,

this is a drop in the bucket this house. All right. So this isn't, you missed the whole story. This isn't about a house, buddy. You think we're talking about a house? You're talking about the prep? No, this is like, you completely missed a mark about this. This is not about a house.

You're talking about J.D. fans? Why is he moving there and he's saying he's worried about the future of America? Yeah, what does he know? And he's going to a place like that. You don't think there's some weird conversations being had behind closed doors? I don't know. I don't think it's just a house story. Well, clearly it's not a house story. That's my whole point was that it's the house is meaningless. It's 10 cents to him.

Let's get the next door. So here, yesterday, you know, you heard a story about the J6, Rob. I don't know what page that's on. It's like, look, these guys that were falsely arrested and they did time and they're going through the nasty last few years that they had, you know, the president comes out and says, do you have that story, Rob, about the amount of money they're trying to help them out? And, you know, Newsom got upset about it.

And he came out and he said he vows to tax 100 percent. of tax on DOJ's anti-weaponization fund payout. And it created a ton of conversations. It was one of the main stories on X. Gavin Husson vowed Wednesday to tax any payouts that California residents received from the $1.776 billion-dollar anti-weaponization fund that Trump secured in a settlement with his own Justice Department as Democratic lawmakers and states across the country ramp up efforts to counter

the president on the measure, is this the one about anyone from California that received any of those funds, we want to tax 100% those proceeds. Is that the clip here, Rob? Is this the one about the slush fund? I believe so. I actually, hold on one time. Because there's a clip that he's talking about, and Newsom's Pledge mirrors legislation unveiled earlier this week in New York by Democrat, Alex Boers, a state assembly member and House candidate that would assess 100% tax against payout from the fund. Trump and

announced that the fund last week as part of a $10 billion settlement with the DOJ in his lawsuit against the IRS Democratic efforts to undercut any payouts are picking up across the country. Democratic state lawmaker in New York are pushing for a vote by next week to fully tax payouts from the fund. Go forward, Rob. This is the clip. Are you looking to take any action on? Is there anything you can do about that? Well, I've been thinking a lot. I'm not in Congress. I was out there in Washington, D.C., trying to make a case anew. And some good meetings with these. Lee Zeldon's a I want to get him fired look at this he talked with Lee Zeldon

but you know there is teams working hard to see what we can do to help the victims of last year's fires in Los Angeles you know so I was up there around the time when legislative leaders were all you know discussing what the options were and so I've been thinking a lot about it and my flight back and one thing that I think we're going to try to do with your support is tax 100% Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100% of those proceeds. And that's an action the state of California can take. It's an action we look forward to taking.

Tom, thoughts on that. Okay, so did some research here, and Pat made a comment on X. I think it was absolutely correct. And let me go to a quick legal analysis. So 100% tax that singles out recipients of one specific federal fund looks less like a tack and more like a confiscation or a penalty. Under the Supremacy Clause, here we go, if a federal court concludes that a tax at the state level exists or was implemented to obstruct, nullify, or frustrate a federal settlement program or other federal program, It will likely be struck down in the appellate courts as interfering with the federal function. That's a supremacy clause.

And everybody can argue about it and get on a soapbox, and I just made my argument from my side. But you know what? Listen to what Gavin Newsom said. He's a very clever guy. The first thing he said, I don't want to get Lee Zeldon fired. So he's intimating that maybe Lee Zeldon was cooperating with him or doing something. I don't want to get Lee Zeldon fired as if being nice or working with Newsom, something would get leave fired. That's just kind of what he was floating out there, which I think

it's just very clever. But the other part, Pat, is it a true statement that this is an action that California can take? Yes, it is. Is it an equally true statement that that action can get shut down, shot down, and reversed by the appellate court very quickly? That's also a true statement. So I'm listening very carefully to how he uses his words. So California can try, but many legal scholars, a legal analysis I found, would say, listen, you're pointing your tax at the recipients of the federal on a one-to-one basis. You're retaliating. You're trying to cancel federal program.

Supremacy clause, federal over state. Sorry, dude. Rob, pull up supremacy clause. Pull up. What is the supremacy clause? What is the supremacy clause? Okay. So supremacy clause is a foundation, U.S. Constitution, principle of that.

The federal constitution, the federal laws are the supreme law of the land. located in an article, I want to say that six, clause two of the Constitution, the mandates that federal law takes precedence over any conflicting state or local laws, the hierarchy U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, and the international treaty sit at the top of the legal pyramid. State constitution, state laws, and the local ordinance must yield to the federal authority. So when he's coming out and saying this, and by the way, my tweet, if you want to go up to the tweet, Rob, on what I said to Newsom's camp right there.

I said, you ever heard of supremacy clause? Gavin Newsom, it's as if you wish you were a king. These guys really want to be a king where they can do things that democracies can. If you want to go back to their response, and then they responded back and said, California will tax J6 cop beaters, cry harder Patrick. That's Gavin Newsom's official office.

Then if you want to go back to my next tweet, Rob, and then I responded back and I said, says the biggest crybaby in politics, you go down as the worst governor in the state of California ever had. ever had. You can't hide from your failed resumes. If you want to go to the comment section there, they responded. You know what they said? Click on that. They responded with okay. And I said, I'm glad you validated it. Right. So, you know, I'm glad they validated it.

That's all they came back with Newsom's office. Go back. That's all they came back with okay. Now, if you want to go back, Rob, to one more tweet, go back one more if you can to the top. Keep going. This is the one. Because the guys kept responding. One guy in the bottom said, doesn't California beat Republican elite states in vast majority of major metrics? I said, yes, it does. It beats them in homelessness, fraud, wasting $100 billion surplus. I think the number was $95 billion to be exact. Correct.

Losing a trillion dollars of wealth twice in five years, negative net migration, illegal immigration, high gas prices, highest taxes, wildfires. And I said, listen, I gave a shot out. Gavin Hussam is crushing it. So people need to realize, this guy's fighting to be your president. And by the way, you know what else he said? Rob, if you want to play the clip about wealth taxes,

this is the one that nobody said was with professors. Galloway, where he's sitting down with him and he says, hey, this wealth tax idea may be so good, I may want to take it national. Go ahead, Rob. I absolutely believe nationally, we need to tax billionaires more. We need to change the stepped-up basis. We need to address the issue of capital gains. We need to address the issue of corporate taxes. We need to address when you've talked a lot about this, the 84.4 trillion to seeing some estimates over $124 trillion of generational. wealth over the next decade and a half, two decades, that will pass and address the issue of inheritance dynasty trusts. And going back to some tax brackets that are more, you know,

analogous to the guy who used to reside here at the governor's mansion back in the 80s, or at least in the 60s, as governor and president in the 80s. And so we need to do all of those things. At the same time, at the state level, I'm proud of this. I don't defend it. I don't defend from a defensive posture. I spent a good 15 minutes at my state of the state earlier this year, making the case for California's progressive tax structure. We,

yes, have the highest tax rate for the 1%. But by definition, 99% people don't pay that rate. So people lazily refer to California as a high tax state when in fact states like Texas and Florida taxed their low

wage earners more than we tax our high wage earners. Yet they're considered low-tax states, which is rather perverse. Slimy comparison. Alert, alert, alert. Go ahead, Tom. So he's trying to say, by way, there is no income tax in Texas. So he's saying they tax their low-wage earners more than we taxed our high-wage earner.

He is making a discontinuous comparison. This is what he's doing, Vinny. He's looking at sales tax. He's looking at tax on license plates. He's looking at property taxes. And he's trying to say that in Texas, That will be more than 13% because you do pay taxes on things when you buy them. But he's saying they tax their low wage earners more than we tax the 13% or high wage earners.

That is an absolute salacious comparison. It's absolutely fake and false. Word talk number scream and those words talk, but those numbers scream false. That is absolutely wrong. Capital gains he's talking about. Vinnie, you have $175,000 because you did well. You pay 40% tax. on that. Now you have a hundred thousand net. Has that hundred thousand been taxed? Yes, it has.

Yes. And you worked hard for it and it was 175. Now it's 100. You take the 100,000, you put it into a company. You build it up and four years later, you sell that little company, two dry cleaners that you had for $1 million. So you turned the $100,000 into a million. But the $100,000, you had already worked hard for that and been taxed. And that was in your hand. That should not be touched. So guess what? The Republicans pushed up. That's Cal You gained on that capital by investing it in something good. Yes. So you should pay capital gains, which was only 20% until Obama got involved, put another 3% on top of it.

Good job. So that's less than the 40%. So when he talks about capital gains, he's talked about higher taxes on money that's already been taxed, that was put to work building a company, establishing jobs. And the Republicans said, time out. There has been a growth in that, so the tax, but the capital gain tax should be. be less than the regular income tax of 40%. Come on, guys. Let's help the entrepreneurs do things. Let's help people. And by the way, the same thing applies to your house. You're going your house over time in its capital gains. You see that? And so this last little bit with Galloway, man,

why isn't there a real-time truth detector on a call-out on this? Yeah, I don't watch the whole thing, so I don't want to hold Galloway accountable because he may have asked the question. I'm not talking about Scott. Yeah, he knows what things to ask him. But here's when probably the best analysis done on Newsom's ideas is by Scott Besson. It's very technical, and he does it in two seconds. So go ahead. Anti-weaponization fund? Your response to the governor's call from him.

There's no cure for stupid. You just got to love him. So, Adam, your thoughts on this. I've got to take classes from Scott. Your thoughts on this. I agree with Tom and I agree with Scott Bessent. What I've realized, and I had to learn this myself, and this is the state of Florida, is Democrats love taxes. They love taxing people.

Tom said that you have income tax, you have employment tax, you have property tax, you have gas tax, you have a state tax. We're already getting taxed so much. And now they want to tax you more and tax you up the wazoo. what's the famous shirt that AOC wore to the Metball? Tax the rich. This is their game plan. Their entire game plan. It was a white dress, I think.

Yeah, exactly. This is their entire game plan. They're not even hiding it, guys. By the way, and I don't want to say this too much, the 1% of the 0.01% already pay 50% of the taxes for the whole country. They want more, Adam. What I want to do, and I'm going to continue to do this, I just want to thank you, Gavin Newsom. I want to thank you, Zoran, Mom Donnie. for bringing everybody to Florida.

Oh, God, here we go. Everybody's coming here. No, I don't want that. Well, Vinny, you moved here, guy. You don't really have to say. I know you want to keep, let's bring more. I'm born and raised in Miami. I can tell you to get out of here.

More. Well, you don't drive in, you don't have a car. So you don't think of people. Even better. Stop inviting. My point is, I appreciate all their policies. Everyone thinks it as a negative. I don't want.

Zoran Mondani is the best poster child for moving to Miami. And then just flip it, because who's the governor that would be the antithesis or the antonym as Pat said to Gavin Newsom is our amazing governor in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis, who's now saying we have such a budget surplus in the state that they're talking about eliminating the property tax in Florida because it goes to local. For long-term residents, which would include the elderly. Bingo. So at the end of the day, they just want to tax you and tax you and tax you and tax you. And one thing we know, you can't tax your way to prosperity. Well, after hearing Gavin Newsom, Pat, that right there is why somebody like

Peter Thiel gets on a plane and flies there and moves his entire family. And the whole, what do you mean? This is the attitude of where the country is going. Don't, by the way, Adam, he's talking and he made a great point. He's talking as he's going to be the president. This is a national thing. And the email has gone out to the Democratic Party. It's this whole communist open border, illegals, taxing and all this.

And Pat, mind you, this $1.776 billion fund is the anti-weaponsization fund. It's a settlement that Trump is basically saying, hey, we were suing the IRS and the Department of Justice for 10. He goes, I'm going to drop it. I don't want anything for myself. This is going to go towards people that are getting wrongfully accused and targeted by the freaking government and the IRS. And I absolutely love it.

It's not just January 6th, Pat. It's anybody. Mind you, if you're in the Capitol beating up cops, go to jail. This doesn't apply to you. They even said it in this article that I read. It's for people that are getting targeted the victims of politicization and weaponization from the government, okay? If any other place, Pat, people go after you the way that the government.

government does, you get to sue them, defamation, all that type of stuff. Why, why should it be different for the government? I absolutely love that he's doing it. And Gavin Newsom is the epitome of what's wrong with this freaking country. I got to pay for all the fraud in California is. Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever covered how much the gas tax is in California versus 71 cents? Seventy one. You know about this, right? Of course. I did some research on this. There's a federal, you know, because Pat. Adam, I'd like to go to. Sure, go ahead. I just want to go to next. The gas are 71 cents. There you go. There you go. California is the highest night and gas. It's crazy. You're right. So let me,

Let me get to this next one. This next story is an interesting one. Okay. Michael's biopic came out. Michael Jackson, and it just crossed $700 million. I think opening weekend at $217 million. They're thinking it's going to cross a billion. The same guy that produced Michael produced Bohemian Rhapsody,

which Bohemian Rhapsody is number one, all-time biopic. If I'm not mistaken, that one did $900 million as the biopic. And by the way, do you know how much interest? facts are in this movie. You know who stars Michael? Who? Jafar Jackson. You know who Jafar Jackson is? He's the son of Jermaine Jackson. Do you know who Jermaine Jackson? His brother.

Jermaine Jackson had that one song, do what you do when you did what you did to me anymore. Like that whole song. You're way better than him. So but here's here's the interesting part. One day, Graham Kink, who produced both Bohemian Rhapsody and Michael, comes up to Jafar and says, hey, you look like Michael, you're his nephew, I want you to play Michael. Jafar says, I'm not an actor. He says, what do you mean? You've never acted? He says, no, I golf. He's like, what are you talking? He says, no, no, I'm not an actor. I'm a golfer. I have his moves because it's my uncle, so I learned the moves, but I'm not an actor. He says, well, are you open to it? He says, not really. I'm not in acting. I've never taken any acting class. So Graham King says,

would you be okay if I hire somebody that teaches you acting for the next two years and you learn how to act? He says, I'm open to look how long-term thinking Graham King gives. For two years they spend time with them. He eventually starts getting it down and he stars in the movie.

And by the way, I watched the movie, he crushed it. Same as Bohemian Rhapsody. Some of the people are like, well, the whole nasty part of, you know, Frederick Mercury wasn't in it as much as it should have been. There was stuff in there. Yeah. And, you know,

all the nasty side of Michael wasn't in there. But here's where it gets interesting. Do you know who wasn't, like which character of the family wasn't in the movie, Michael? The father. Janet Jackson. The father's like the main villain. Oh, really? He's phenomenal.

The villain is phenomenal. Without the father, this movie doesn't make any sense. Joe Jackson. So who's the youngest child, the Jackson said? It was Janet. Janet's the youngest. You know who's the second youngest? It's a guy named Randy Jackson.

Tom was on a flight with Randy Jackson. But not watch this. American. No, no, no, different Randy. So Randy Jackson marries a girl, does a marry a girl. Ends up with this one girl. Rob, can you pull up who Randy Jackson has two kids with her? She's got a Hispanic name, beautiful girl. Him and this girl are together. They have two kids together, okay? But they never got married. They were together for eight years. Her name is Alejandra, this girl right here. Alejandra, Genevieve, Oziazza, okay? So they're together for two years,

and then guess what ends up happening? They have a breakup. guess who she goes and marries and is with him for eight years. Jermaine Jackson. No way. They went to the brother? The same girl had two kids with two Jackson. No way. You guys didn't know the store.

That's a hundred-covered brother. Two kids with two Jackson's. So now with Germain, she has a kid called Jafar Jackson. Jafar plays the role of Michael Jackson. And guess who's close with who? Janet Jackson and Randy are close. and Janet said, I don't want to have anything to do with this movie. You guys do everything you want to do, but we don't want to be in it.

So you will never see Janet Jackson in the movie at all. You will only see some of the brothers that took place. And there was a couple clips that when this interview was taking place, that it's such an interesting thing. The father is the main character in the movie. As good of a job, Jafar does. The father in the movie is the one that makes it very interesting, taken out the belt, beating them up.

Michael was interviewed many times says, what do you remember about your dad since I was five years old? You know, he would take out the belt and all this other steps. There's a lot of clips about it. But one of the clips is when they asked Joe, the father, hey, if you were a lot, if you and Michael were closer together, if you were still in Michael's life, would Michael still have been around? Rob, I don't know if you can find that clip or not.

He says, if I was in Michael's life, he would still be around. He would still be alive because I would. I wouldn't have let those guys do what they did. This is Joe. This is Joe. Yeah, this is Joe. He says, I love my father, but I, yeah, this is, this is the, this is the interesting part about what this guy did to drive the hell out of his kids.

Maybe Rob played this clip first. This clip is when, when Michael says, I didn't know my father. I just send it to you if you want to play this clip. And remember, by the way, when it comes down to Michael, Michael was a phenomenal, like, you know, people say Drake has more number one records now. he broke the record of Michael. There's a very different thing with the influence Michael had over Drake.

Michael was like, you know, the impact all over the world. Rob, if you pull this clip, watch his Michael talking about his dad and then play the Michael's father clip. Go for it. He also said, I love my father,

but I don't know him. I love my father, but I don't know him. I don't know him the way I'd like to know him. My mother's wonderful. I mean, she's perfection. I just wish I could understand my father. What do you have to say about that?

Well, I can't happen because he don't know me. One of the things that he should know is that I was there from the beginning. I raised him. I went to two jobs to keep food on the table. It wasn't easy to support nine kids. And I did all these things. And kept him with instruments and rehearsed him too, to be entertainers. And he did.

He should know me, but I don't know why he don't. Kind of interesting right now. Play the other clip Rob on when he's asked about if Michael would have been around. Watch what he says here. Let me ask you a question. If you were in Michael's life, would he still be alive today? Of course. Of course, I had told some people,

I'm friends, that if I don't get to Michael, he ain't gonna be here long. I said that. He won't be with us long. And I called a shot to the tea. That's exactly what had happened. I just didn't like to see him. Matter of fact, I wouldn't go.

To see him land up in the casket because I just didn't like to see him. casket of us. I did not, I didn't want to remember me. How can working at your local Tim's take you

He was your boy. Is my son. By the way, one of the things Michael said, one of the things Michael said is I fear for my life.

They are trying to eliminate me because I've said too much. He also said, the government altered the frequency of music to control and influence your minds. He said, it's not the government. It's the elite. This guy got started talking about some heavy, heavy stuff, yeah. History books

are false. The history they teach you in school is nothing but lies. I mean, he, I have to escape the system that controls the world. They want to kill me for my catalog. One day the truth will come out. I reported them so they falsely accuse me.

They want to kill me and they will say I died because of an overdose. He said that. He said that. I remember. He said that. And then what ends up happening. So this is why, look, if you're a Michael fan or if you like musical biopics, this is actually very, very good movie. We want to watch it.

Tico gave it a nine and a half. He's like, this is a very, very good movie. It's tragic what happens when you make it at that. level and there's typically a guy like him. Remember the story of Serena and Venus Williams? They called the movie, what they call me Richard. I don't know what it was called. King Richard is what it was called.

Yeah. Bill Smith played him and then he smacked Chris Rock. How do you process it when you see what the father had to say about Michael? It's such a, man, it's such a slippery slow pat because think about it, if Joe Jackson didn't do what he did. And I know people are going to be like, what do you, listen, you don't get, and I, Michael Jackson is my number one of all. time forever. He was just

fantastic, amazing, amazing, the most talented person. They said that if you could, Pat, he was so famous, you could take the glove, the Michael Jackson glove, and go to parts of Africa, no TV, no nothing, and just put it on, and they would know that it was Michael Jackson. Like, they know that. But if you don't

get that discipline and that push, you don't have the Michael Jackson. On the flip side, he was such in pain and wanted love from his father. And then when people were like, oh, he was hanging out with little kids. Yeah, he missed that entire child. While you were outside and playing with little Johnny and Timmy and Sarah, Michael Jackson was in a freaking house, practicing and getting his butt whooped when he wasn't doing it right when he was failing at it. And then you got the greatest artist.

Did you see the movie? I didn't see it. You would love the movie. I'm gonna have to watch it again with you. You would love the movie. It's a very, very good movie. And it's such a like, and that's the question. Do you give Michael Jackson and the question is God rest of the soul, would you ask Michael, hey Michael, if we went back in time, would you want you

your dad to have just left you alone and you would have just done whatever you want and you to pick your own thing because it seems like, you know, Joe was very, very hard on him and said, this is what you're going to do, these are the hours you're going to put in and you're going to perfect it. So it's just that... Do you think he died or they killed him?

I don't want. I mean, Conrad Murray is the one that gave him that last whatever medication or anything like that, Pat. But I was following, by the way, I was performing with Damon Wayne Sr., I believe in Cleveland. We were doing the show and Damon Wayne's new Michael personally, There was a part of his house where he has like an glass case with the glove and a jacket and everything.

I saw Damon's face and I was like, oh my, like, what's going on? And Michael Jackson had passed and we had to go and do the show. It was one of the worst shows because everybody was in such shock. What was the question, Pat, that you asked? Whether you think he died or they killed him. I don't know. I think that under a circumstance where you're talking about, and if you what was a concert called, Rob, the last tour? Victory.

No, no, no, no. Victory is not the last one. Victory is the one that he was doing where he was even saying, if we don't get this right and I'm going to expose stuff, this is it. This is it.

He was saying it. Pat, he almost knew that they were going to do it. So I would say with the evil powers that run this world, Pat, especially with buying Sony and he was saying Tommy Motola was the devil and all that stuff,

it wouldn't put it past me that they did something to kill him, to shut him up. He said something. He says at five years old, a hundred million people were watching me. Wow.

At five years old, I had the process. I don't know what it is to be a kid. I never had the opportunity to become a kid. Never. So this is the clip, Rob, if you want to play this. And then Tom, I'm going to come to you because Tom was at the big, the entire thing ends at the victory tour. And Tom worked the victory tour, just so you know.

You mean this is it? This is the tour. Tom watched Michael Jackson perform. Did you say six days? Seven. It was seven days at Dodgers Stadium. What do you mean you worked the victory tour? He worked at the Dodger Stadium, watch Michael Jackson live seven days.

What do you mean? You were working. You're doing biz-doc stuff at the stadium? No, no, no. I got through one of the ways I got through college is I was an usher at Dodger Stadium. And when the victory tour came through, Dodger Stadium was responsible for ticketing, security, ushers, and everything like that. And so there was a tremendous floor seating that was there. And it had to be handled differently because it wasn't like numbered the way it was in the stadium. There was a lot of things that had to happen. And so we knew the stadium. And so we went through this whole thing.

This is what we're going to do. He wants to, you know, let the people stand up and sing downstairs. Don't make them sit down, blah, blah, blah, blah. All these things we did. But we saw all seven concerts. It was amazing. Yeah. Do you have that clip?

This is a watch this. Go ahead. I don't read all the things written about me. I wasn't aware that the world thought I was so weird and bizarre. But when you grow up as I did in front of 100. million people since the age of five, you're automatically different. My childhood was completely taken away from me. There was no Christmas, there was no birthdays, those were exchanged for hard work, struggle and pain, and eventual

material and professional success. But as an awful price, I cannot recreate that part of my life. And that's why I love children and learned so much from being around them. I realized that many of our world's problems today, from the inner city crime to large-scale wars and terrorism in our overcrowded prisons. There's something very special about him. You know, you hear this,

and it kind of goes to Justin Bieber when he played that one song. You know, he wrote that one song, Lonely, and you see him in the mirror where it's him and the kid. You know, we can't play it, obviously. But, Adam, your thoughts on this? I got a lot of thoughts on this.

I'll tell you this. I think Michael Jackson was the last I'm talking world-class phenomenon musician that we'll ever see ever. I agree. I mean, the last of a kind. I mean, because before him it was the Beatles,

then it was Elvis. You could argue that Madonna was kind of in that, but there was only one Michael. I'll give you a quick story. I got a haircut. I don't be noticed. And I'm at the barbershop, and, you know, my assistant producer,

Jaden, he's there with me. And me and Brandon, he's giving me a fade, this guy, Brandon. And he's like, how old are you? You know, he's like, I just graduated UM. I'm 22. Man, you're just a little jitterbug, is what he called him.

And Michael Jackson comes on, and I'm getting my haircut, and I go, I'm talking to the man in that song right there. I love that song. And then he says, yeah, well, I think Prince was better. And me and Brandon, who's like my age, go, what did you say? You think Prince is better than Michael Jackson? Yeah, you know, party like it's 1999. Little Grod Corvette, I said, listen, do me a favor.

I need you to understand something. You're a little young jet a book. There's a difference between an icon. There's a difference between a prince or some may say a Madonna, somebody say a Beyonce. You could even say a Justin Bieber. When you're talking about a phenomenon that the world has never seen, that's Michael Jackson.

That's who he is. He had a lot of extracurricular weird stuff, but they separate the art from the artist, the last of his kind that will take over the world. My dad hit me with a belt and I joined the Air Force. Joel hit him with a belt and he was Michael Jackson. But whatever belt that was. I wish I could play a song from Instagram.

You remember living in color when he got hit on the head? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, how about this? Other things can happen. Favorite Michael Jackson song. If you can only listen to one MJ. Andy, are you okay, dirty Diana? Andy, you're okay.

Those two. That's smooth criminal. Billy Jean. So you like smooth criminal? Billy Jean. Oh, man. Thriller? Thriller?

Thriller? just the video and the, you know what I would do, Pat? Because I was such, I was so in awe of Michael Jackson and anybody at home can do this. Go to fans reacting to Michael. There's people like girls

out in public, Pat, crying and fainting. And at the best ever, and Pam, I have the DVD at my house because I saved it. It's Michael Jackson, live at Bucharest Dangerous Tour.

It's he, you hear the lion, I got goosebumps. The lion, look at my goosebumps. The lion roar. He shoots through the stage, stands there,

glasses, This is gold G string outside of his pants. And for two and a half minutes, he's standing like that. Ten people, look at this. Pass out. And look, this is it. Guys, he doesn't talk. Yeah.

They don't do the music. They'll never be anything like this again. 10 people, men, women faint. Watch, does he move his head? Watch, when he moves. By, he's wearing a gold G string outside of his pants. Don't worry about that. People were literally, guys, imagine paying for the concert.

It hasn't started. You've already fainted. He fainted. Yeah. Look at this. Nobody. Oh! Look at her!

Tom is there being the usher. Collecting tickets right now. Oh, man. Dude, goose bomb. I mean, one of one right there. Stop why cry. When we came from Iran, I had one Michael Jackson shirt. Let me tell you, that Michael Jackson shirt to wear, you thought you were cool.

But for whatever reason, in America, if you wore it at that time, it wasn't cool. I don't know why it was it? Really? No, no. I wore the Michael Jackson shirt. Tell me you've never tried to do the moonwalk. I'm getting on Michael Jackson's. You've all tried.

Listen, today with my torn AC. There's not a lot of things. If I do to Milwaukee and I may turn my meniscus, so I got to protect the mannequist. Highest grossing movie of all biopic, musical biobie. It's worth watching. And number one was what again? Bohemian Raptor, which is also good.

For now. He didn't beat it. No, he didn't beat it. So, all right, let's go to the next story. I got a couple more stories to go through. So, like I said earlier, Connor said that, you know, yesterday was a bad day for going to space, but it was a good day for explosions.

Bezos. is doing this thing with Blue Origin. And so everybody's watching this clip. And what I thought it's, you know, after the time nowadays, when you see stuff when you're scrolling, like, why is this clip showing up everywhere? It's just AI.

But no, this is what happened yesterday. This is the Blue Origin. Look at this explosion. Oh, my God. It is good to look. It's so awesome to look at, though, Pat. Come on. Wow, that's so messes up his carbon footprint.

Well, we're breathing all that. No matter how far you are. Like, if you're looking, you felt that. Oh, yeah. You felt that. Okay, so go to this with Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos tweeted about it if you want to go to it. Jeff Bezos, he's been on trending stories the last week quite a lot,

but he tweeted about it to give an update. This is go a little bit lower. All personnel are accounted for and safe. I love the first thing. It's too early to know the root cause, but we're already working to find it. Very rough day. But we'll rebuild whatever needs to rebuilding and get,

back to flank. It's worth it. Do me a favor. Open it up with, there you go. And look who comments at the top. Okay. Look who comments at the top. Al-Astra per Aspera. What does that mean? Well, Rob's Twitter's Latin is because Rob likes it Latin. So through hardships to the stars, that's amazing. I love that instead of taking that opportunity to, you know, call him out or do any of that stuff, he gives them a compliment. And, you know, I said to him, you guys, well, figured out all the best. And it was interesting scenes. It's a very different, difficult business to get into top. When you see the explosion and what happened, what stories do you know about it? What facts do you have about what happened there? Well, you know what? It's a test firing.

And if you go back in time and you'll find the Apollo mission, there were test firings on the launch pad. Not Apollo, but the early space program. We had missiles and then we put chimpanzee into space. then we had Mercury, Gemini, Apollo. We went in order. That's exactly what Elon Musk went through. And Elon Musk has had test firings. He's had a rocket that launched a short distance, and it goes, guess what? One of the perfect things he said was one of his first.

Elon has tweeted a couple things on this. All of them are understanding and compassionate about the entrepreneur. It was a test firing that went badly. And you know what? I love Bezos' first comment. All people are accounted for and safe. In other words, all the scientists, everybody. We're way over here.

Kaboom. Whoops, all right. Well, let's go back and let's, once the fire goes out, let's see if we can figure out in the wreckage of, you know, what went wrong and get it. But every space program has this. Every has it. This is trial and error. You think AB testing on social media ads.

That's how big it is in a plane. Matt, that's 50 miles away. Stop it, Rob. 50. 5.0 miles. Imagine you're on a plane and you're like, oh, my God, it's the end of the world. and you don't know what the hell's going on. It's a nuke. No. Pat, think about it.

Do it again, Rob? Yeah. Go back again from the top. Could you imagine you're coming in for landing. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the left. Look to the left and, oh my God, that's a nuclear weapon. Go back to the other one.

Rob, show the one that I sent you, Pat. Could you imagine guys, before you play it? You're at a bar. You're drinking. You have no idea that there's even a rocket launch test, whatever. And look at this, Pat. Could you imagine that? It looks like a nuke.

By the way, you know how much total damage was done in dollars? How much? A taxpayer NASA. Aerospace analysts are saying the alleged cost damage. Nuclear and rocket destroyed, $150 to $300 million. Launch pad repairs, the LC-36, $50 to $200 million. Testing equipment ground systems, $10,200 million. Launch delays, investigation, lost revenue, tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.

So maybe industry absorb. are saying at the low end minimum, it's a quarter of a billion dollars, upwards of a billion dollars of loss to what happened yesterday. Stick to Amazon. And let Elon do it. Just let Elon do it. We're good. Pat, there's another part to it.

But what was learned? There's going to be a bunch that was learned. This is the entrepreneurial process. Oh, for sure. Listen, for sure. Look, you know, for us yesterday, you know, we have things that you're going to make mistakes with as an operator, no matter what company and things that you do. but you have to learn from it.

You have to move on from it. You have to kind of see what adjustments you have to make. Man up, take the responsibility and move on, make it better. And for me, there's no way you're worth a few hundred billion dollars because you got everything right. You're worth a few hundred billion dollars because you did a lot of things that went wrong and you learned from it and you adjust it.

While you're in the spotlight, everybody bashing you, calling you this and this and that, and he has gotten to this point. So I'm looking forward to the recovery from this to see what they do next. And no in Bezos, you know, you're going to see the next story. And I think the day it happens

where they have a successful launch, you know who I think's going to retweet the successful launch? I think Yelan Musk will retweet the successful launch and give a shout out. Adam. I fully agree with you. I'll just give it a little spice to it.

I think they're actually becoming more aligned than ever. Because I said on the LAD podcast, I think that, you know, the enemy of my friend, I think they're realizing what this socialist, Marxist, communist, woke agenda is taking over. they see what's going on in New York, they see what's going on in California, and they're realizing we're in this thing together, guys. And so Blue Origin Rocket blows up horribly, and let me get this straight.

Elon Musk, competitor to Jeff Bezos, tweets, didn't he say something about rockets are tough? And then the future is into the moon. Basically, here's where I'm going with this. You've talked about this before. A public loss like this, Pat, I don't think we understand this. Like for someone like Jeff Bezos, think about the most public loss you've ever had, whoever you are watching this right now.

You lost the Super Bowl. You lost the big game. This guy's rocket blew up and lost how many $100 million? $252 billion. And everyone's talking about it. And your chief competitor is like, hey, man, sorry about that. You know, dust it off. Get back out there.

Go invest the money that they want you to, that they want a tax. And go build another racket. Go a racket, rocket. So like Tom said, you don't win or lose, you win or learn. And I think he'll learn from this and get better. And shout out to the entrepreneurs who are doing stuff like this. And I just, I'll end with this. The money that you're not taxing, Mamdani or Bezos or whoever,

he can go forward to buy a new rocket because it costs $100 million. Are you going to pay for that? Because he will. Yeah, yeah. That's a good point. So let me get to the next one here. Westmore, Maryland. decides to come out two days ago, thinking this is a good idea.

Maybe he's just testing it out, but we saw it all over the place that he wants to bang Glock's. Rob, do you have that story? Story comes out that, you know, we had Westmore on, and one of the things that I spoke to him about, you know, I think this is an NRA, page 13, if I'm not mistaken, Rob. You know, NRA sues Maryland officials over Glock pistol ban. Glock pistol ban. Is this it, Ron? Yes, sir. Go forward. Oh, there's no way. I can't hear anything she's saying.

So National Rifle Association and two other gun rights groups, Sue Maryland officials Tuesday over freshly signed legislation that effectively bans the sales of Glock Pistols and the state. The advocacy group filed their lawsuit in federal court challenging the law on the Second Amendment grounds hours after Maryland Governor Westmore signed the legislation which bans to manufacture, sell and purchase and receipts of transfer machine guns convertible to pistols. The law defines such pistols as semi-automatic firearms with cruciform triggers bars that can easily be turned into machine guns by installing or attaching a pistol converter, sometimes called a Glock switch, as a replacement for the slides back play. Tom. So what he's trying to do, this is a test. Westmore is not a dumb guy. I disagree with his policies, things like that, but he's not stupid. What he's testing here is are they going to be able to get certain guns that say, well, wait, this one can be easily converted to automatic.

And let me draw a line for people. You know the insurance industry that actually reached out and sued? What was it, Kia? Because they said two of their cars were very easy to be stolen. It was very easy to break in and very easy to flip ignition on. I think it was Kia. and the Insurance Institute of America was like, hey, on behalf of all car insurance companies, Kia and Hyundai settled 145 million class action super vehicles because they were lacking engine immobilizers.

And guess what? U.S. Circuit Court for the Ninth Circuit upheld the settlement. So guess what? That was victims and insurance companies. So he's trying to test that if there's a flaw in a product, can I get it blocked? But what's also going on here is there the dream. of Democrats on gun control has always been to get a definition bill passed. You know the definition bill, Vinny, where the addendum lists all the guns that follow the

definition. So let's get AR-style guns banned. And then all they do is keep getting another model and another model and another model until every gun imaginable is listed on the addendum. So effectively, the bill is what? A gun ban. So it starts out, sound the- like sneaky. And this is what the NRA, I mean, people may not like the NRA and they're lobbying. Well, other people don't like other lobbies. And so what Wes is trying to do right here, Pat, is test whether he can get on the grounds that there's a product flaw that leads to an issue, just like the class action suit on cars. He's trying to see if he can get it through, despite the NRA and others suit against it. And then he wants to move from there.

That's what's going on here. I don't have enough. I don't even want to add it. I don't think it gets guns, I'm not happy about it. Well, I think if this is just Maryland following suit, if you look at the highest tax states, they're also the strictest gun law states. There's a correlation there,

the big blue states and the big blue cities. The states with the highest strictest gun laws are all the states you would suspect, California number one, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, and then Maryland. Maryland is, I think of Maryland, I don't know, because it's next to Virginia, D.C. is more of a purple state,

but I've realized that it's just officially blue. That's just all I want to say. So he's just doing what all his constituents want, which is higher taxes, more liberalism, stricter gun laws, and that's just falling in suit. If you're testing to see how this is going to land with people, this is the part that, you know, the Democrats keep giving more confidence to Republicans,

why Republicans will continue winning is because they don't know how to connect with independence. They keep thinking that you're in a room, everyone's like, oh my God, you're so great Adam. Oh my God, you're so great, Vinny.

You're so this. You're so, oh, my God, I'm killing it. And then you run a poll, and you're like, oh, shit, I'm not killing it. I thought everybody loved me. No, they don't. No, no, they're not happy with this. Media loves you.

Okay, all right, so now you got some, oh, maybe in some rooms they all, like you, but which rooms do it does everybody like you? Not in every room. Now, there's certain people you're not going to win over no matter what. There's people that wake up in a morning. Anything good you do, you do 99 things right. They could give a shit about the 99 things you do right. They just want to care about the one thing you do wrong. Set that community aside. Believe it or not, it's not that big of a community. Because those guys that are like that, guess what are the way they are with their personal life? Same exact way. They look at the world and the only thing

they see is the bad. They don't see the good. They're typically only wired that way. But you have to listen to the reasonable voices. And the reasonable voices are typically independents. The independents are the reasonable ones. They're the ones that they're like, huh, he's kind of right. Why are we paying more into NATO than others? Why are other countries now? That's a very good question, Trump, right?

And this is an independent who would have never voted for Trump. Why are we letting in so many millions of people into the country? You know, James Tilarico was asked a question by Pete Heck said when he used to work at Fox, if you can find this, why are you not for voter ID? And he's like, well, there's just hundreds of thousands of people in Texas that have a hard time getting an ID. It's like, what problem do you have with not needing an ID to vote? You know, 15 to 16 states in America, you don't even need an ID to vote. So the independence says what, Vinnie? You know what the independence says?

why do I need an ID to go through TSA pre, but I don't need an ID to vote? What's a bigger decision? Yeah. Yeah, what's a bigger decision? You know, so I need an ID to go into a nightclub, but I don't need an ID to vote. The independent, believe it or not, is that keeps America like this. Is this it, Rob? Yeah, it's a short clip.

Go forward, Rob. Watch this with his beautiful haircut. Are you okay with voter ID? So voter ID is currently required in the state of Texas. I opposed having to have a driver's license to vote. How about having to send your ballot in? Should you have to prove who you are? Because that's what Democrats are opposing.

Pete, I just said I oppose voter ID. It's a law in Texas, but I oppose that law because I think you don't need it. You oppose voter ID. So guess what? What do you mean you oppose voter IDs? What do you mean you want to take glocks away from people? Independence are like, no, second amendment. And crimes are going up.

You're seeing what's happening. You want me to not want to have a protection for my wife or myself? No, no, I'm not with that. And then you do it in a state like a, like a Maryland. So this is the part where guys play politics. He has so many things going for himself as a Democratic candidate. Any day of the week, I would pick him as a Democratic candidate to take the primary over Newsom. If I have a guy to win the primary on the left over Newsom, it's Westmore, right?

If there's somebody on that side, you would take him more than you would take AOC. It's a very different country. Very different country. But when you start playing politics, independents are like, yeah, I'm. I don't know about that. Now, if he's testing and doing what Trump typically does, well, you got a very quick response from people on what's going on. Let me get to last story before we wrap up.

You guys remember E. Jean Carroll, okay, $83 million, who said, you know, when Anderson Cooper famously asks, so what do you think rape is? Do you think it's physical? No, it's a fantasy. Sexy. Most people think it's sexy. Sexy. Anderson Cooper's like, what the hell is this lady?

Isn't that when he jumped the commercial? Couldn't get on that. He was shell-shocked. This person, yeah, go to the last 15 seconds. Go to the middle right there. Go ahead. I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Let's take a short break.

Think of the fantasies. Watch, watch, watch. We've got to take a quick break. If you can stick around, we'll talk more. You're fascinating to talk to. She's. Yeah. She reminds me.

Okay. Who's the lady the actor she reminds you of? 101 Dalmatian. No, no. From a villain and 101 Dalmatian. 40-year-old virgin. Pull up the lady from the 40-year-old version. She said, it looks exactly like her.

Yeah. So, yeah, yeah, I know who you're talking about. The one that works at the Best Buy or whatever. The best. Yeah. She's incredible. So that's a different one. That's a wedding crasher's time.

But so going back to this, she comes out and she says, she comes out and she says, she forgot that somebody paid her money for the lawsuit, the legal fees. Huh. And so, Vinnie, can you tell us who financed her law? Yeah, so there's a guy. I don't know if you guys have ever heard of this guy. His name is Reed Hoffman. I don't know if you guys, and by the allegedly, Pat, allegedly, there's another person that, again, I'm going to say the word allegedly, because that's what we use here. Blasey Ford. Remember the girl that went up against, uh, uh, Kavanaugh, Brett Kavanaugh for

the Supreme court? This is, so play this clip really fast, Rob. Play this clip of her lying. spoken about is the lack of disclosure about a big Democratic donor funding part of this case. Was there a reason it wasn't disclosed? And did you view this as political in any way? No. I just completely forgot. I just completely forgot that he even existed. In your deposition?

Yes, in my deposition. Oh, and then Rob, can you show the deposition? Guys, this is the text. And again, Trump is going after it. And I saw all the pundits yesterday like, How dare he's using the Department of... No, no, no, no. She lied.

He had to spend millions and millions of dollars. And again, going to the anti-weaponization thing, he wants this not to be able to happen. Check this out. So they ask her, are you presently paying your counsel's fees? This is a contingency case, so you're not paying expenses or anything out of pocket to date. Is that correct?

I'm not sure about expensive. I have to look it up. And then they ask again, the lawyer, Is anyone else paying your legal fees, Ms. Carroll? No. Bingo, that is exactly what the president is going after her for. And by the way, guys, if she can't remember who paid her legal fees, how could she remember that Donald Trump? Maybe she forgot that that wasn't Donald Trump that was in doing what she said,

that was sexually assaulting or in a dressing room. So what are you talking about? And again, this is just going to show you what the system does when people like Reid Hoffman, who Elon Musk, been said, Tom. What do he say about him and the Epstein files and everything about how much he was it? They once upon a time were PayPal bros, but

they collide now. Oh, it's horrible. He said a lot of stuff about him. Big beef. Allegedly visited the island, so I don't know. And I love this, Pat, because the proof is in the pudding, and I'm happy that he's going after her. Good. Liar. Period.

You know, I really don't have anything to add other than what is just so blatantly obvious here. What is the timing of it? What is the timing of it? Do you think she woke up one day and said, I think I'm going to go back out, and I think I'm going to say a few things, I think I'm going to do this. What is it?

No, this is the back plane of the establishment that's back there that is flipping switches and saying, we need this, we need this, we need this. And I think these things don't pop up like popcorn. I think these are manipulated moments. That's what I think. Adam. I just think this is another one of the things that they use to try. to take Trump down.

I mean, for 10 years, they've been trying to take him down, whether it's Russia, whether it's impeachment, whether it's these lawsuits, whether it's the mugshot, whether it's this fake, rape, fantasy grape, and it's being funded by all the billionaires who hate Trump or hate America.

Because indictments are sexy. Exactly. So, Reid Hoffman, allegedly, to me, my opinion, is like the Neville Roy Singham of domestic politics. If you don't know who Neville Roy Singaman. He's the former born in America, went to

the CCP, funding all the Code Pink, BLM, Gaze for Gaza rally, all this stuff. The ball guy running in a back. Exactly. There he is. He's, I think, allegedly the guy that allegedly funded, who's your boy that went to Cuba, and he's dealing a hot water? My boy, Hassan.

Hassan Pike, whatever is going on with that guy. I love you, Hassan. That guy, you know, the Marxist's communist guy, all these stuff, in my opinion, that's all getting exposed. And that's a great thing for America. Yeah, there you go. It's great when BS gets exposed, especially when you try to do everything in your power to destroy man's life. And I can only imagine every time she wakes up and she watches anything on TV, she has to see them there. Anytime, any of these

guys from CNN or from ABC, 60 minutes, any of these guys who would do anything to destroy this man's life, every time they wake up, if they go on social media. if they go read any paper, if they read any magazine, if they watch any news, they have to see that guy's face there. And hear his voice. You know what it does to them? Can you imagine what it does to them? Oh, they all have TV.

Can you imagine what it does to them that they're going through that? Oh, Rosie O'Donnell. I know if you saw Rosie O'Donlellan at a facelift. She looks even more depressed. It doesn't work. More depressed. Even the surgery can't make her be top right. Yeah, your TDS.

It just made her. You just had it. Page Six article, Rob. Right there. Up, up, up, up, up, up right there. Oh, right there. Yeah. Look at like, it won't make a difference.

Look at that. It's just once you have the TDS, it's over. I mean, she's done with it anyway. No, it's over. Once you have TDS, it's over. Pat, I'll just say one thing today. You were fascinating to talk to. Yeah, absolutely.

So anyways, there you have it with the stories for today. Today's, it doesn't feel like a Friday, by the way. But it's the, and with the hats, Rob, if you want to go back to VT merch with the hats that we have folks, we had a couple guys about 25 hats. And it just, I can't tell you what countries it was. couple guys bought 25 hats. If you haven't gone and got one for yourself or people who support their country

and they're proud to wear their country, go support it for yourself and share it with others as well. With that being said, have a great weekend, Rob. Anything coming up, it's just a Monday morning podcast that we got and a couple surprises next week. God bless everybody. Have a great weekend. Take care.

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
