Starting point is 00:00:00 Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweet. I know this life 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?
Starting point is 00:00:19 My son's right. I think I've ever said this before. All right, gang, I hope you had a good weekend. Lots going on. There's a guy that wants to be the president, who is the governor of California, who apparently came up at first was against the wealth tax in the state of California. Now he says he wants to make the wealth tax a national topic. And on top of that, he starts talking about how the top 10% makes too much money.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Yeah, I don't know if you know how much the top 10% makes, Vinnie. If you're in the top 10% individual income, you make $1.55 a year. If you're in a top 10% husband and wife, you make $255 a year. He says you're too rich. But Newsom is saying he's saying it's too rich and we got to do something about this. And now he wants to come. And Elon responded and, you know, he responded. and, you know, he responded to Elon.
Starting point is 00:01:03 There's a bunch of things going on there. We'll talk about that. Iran's goal, apparently, allegedly, you know, FIFA's coming out and saying we made a mistake. Because, you know, they were celebrating. It was a big thing that they were almost about to win in advance. And I think goal was scored last minute and they got kicked out. It's a whole different story. We'll address.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Israel officially is recognizing the Armenian genocide. It's a big story that was all over the place. The Armenian, Assyrian, Greek genocide. of what Turkey did, and I'll share that story. We'll get into that. Then aside from that, Iran strikes a couple boats and Trump's not happy. Right after business hours, I think on Friday they made sure the market was closed before they retaliated, and they said this was intentional that they waited for the market to close before, but whether they did that or not, I would say strategically good for them if they didn't want that happen. A guy named Chris Murphy wants minimum
Starting point is 00:01:55 wage to be raised to $25 an hour across the country from $7.25 to $25,000. bucks an hour and a lot of people are talking about this. They don't understand how damaging this is going to be to certain people, but we'll address it. Momdani says a DSA candidate can win anywhere. Literally, he says anybody can win as a DSA, Democratic Socialists can win everywhere. And Trump came out and said he would be the best communist in the world. He says, I would be the best communist in the world. And he had a bunch of other things to say about that. We'll talk about that. Texas makes, wants to make Bible passages part of the curriculum. in school and you know not a lot of people are happy about it, but Texans are.
Starting point is 00:02:36 They're like, now we kind of like that. Let's do that. Let's go back to what it was like back in the days. And then there's this commercial that Vinny just watches on repeat. But they haven't convinced him yet. But it's just a commercial he watches on repeat. The Hello Fresh commercial. It was a post for Pride Month that if they don't know,
Starting point is 00:02:53 they're going to be shocked that they actually did it and they double down on it. When he told me what it is, I said, that's not even possible because that's a dumb idea to do that. Unless if you're a niche product and you only sell to people that, you know, he'll address it. It's a very weird story. But again, people are, you know, some marketing companies, they don't, they're quick to forget what Dillumolveni did to a couple of their ideas. Movie came out.
Starting point is 00:03:19 I have to talk to you guys about this movie. Last time I mean, Tico watch this movie. We had conversations until 1215 at night in a morning today. This new movie with Army Hammer, but the citizen vigilante. Vinnie, if you haven't seen it, everybody has to watch it. By the way, it is such a controversial movie, Vinny. I think the budget was $750,000, if I'm not mistaken. It's nothing.
Starting point is 00:03:44 It's like the other movie, Obsession was $7.50. Can you show how much the budget was? It could have been $7.5 million, but I just saw $750. Go a little bit low right there to see what the budget was. Can you ask what the budget for it was? I thought it was $750,000. Anyways. So $750,000 budget makes the movie.
Starting point is 00:04:04 The movie is banned in Germany. You can't even watch the movie in Germany right now. Oh, budget was $80 million? There's no way the budget was $80 million. There's no way the budget was $80,000. No, no, that's not true. Time for some duck. So verified at a different place than this place.
Starting point is 00:04:19 That's the main Wikipedia. But the movie is Vinny. You watch it. You're like, this is not even a good idea. Can you just ask Chad GBT guys instead of Google? Yeah, just ask, just get in the habit of just ask chat GBT with these questions instead of going to Google in other places. It's faster.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So you're saying it's not a good... Vinny, it's one of the most controversial movies I've seen that I think it's going to create a revolution and chaos in Europe. There's a reason why Germany banned this movie. Okay. And it's the number one movie on Apple. When you watch this movie, you're going to be like, the wrong people see this movie.
Starting point is 00:04:57 they're going to do what's in this movie. Like, if Brits watch it, Vinnie, you have to watch this movie to see what the, it's shot in Croatia. I'll give you my thoughts on the movie here in a minute. He said three to five million. Okay, that makes sense to me. Three to five million dollars, it's not an 80 million dollars. It's a very, it's not, aside from Army Hammer, the acting isn't the best,
Starting point is 00:05:16 but the movie is ridiculous. Okay, right. Uruguay soccer team, the nation, you know what they said? Hey, since you guys lost and got kicked out, we're not paying you for your private jet. Find a way to come back on your own money. Do you hear about this? Wait, Uruguay's not a country of Uruguay. Jennifer's telling me this.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And I said, babe, that's AI. That's not a real story. I said, go. She says, no, babe, it's on Yahoo. I said, babe, go verify it. She verifies it. The country Uruguay said, instead of flying you back first class on a private jet, we're not paying for it.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Go get your own ticket to come back. That's about disappointing of a loss it was. That's kind of messed up. I mean, dude. It's a lot better than what Colombia did. Colombia, they killed the guy. Of course, I remember that in 1992. It wasn't really Colombia.
Starting point is 00:05:57 it was Pablo. Well, Iraq, Uday Saddam's son, would have a dungeon in the basement of the stadium and beat their feet. So I dare you, America to lose to Bosnia. See what happens. SOROS, story comes out, given $100 million to a bunch of guys on...
Starting point is 00:06:11 110 million to all the left. People that hate America. Yeah, apparently it's going to be the biggest money that's ever been given to what he call it, to people in midterm. So Soros will address that. Went to Rai Rowe. Yeah, and a bunch of guys came back and said,
Starting point is 00:06:25 What about the $250 million that Elon gave to Trump? Valid argument. So we'll talk about that on what happened there. And then there was Tucker brought one of Trump's former aides, Alex, and they had a back and forth about Israel, which was an interesting back and forth. And then Volkswagen folks announced they're firing 100,000 people. Not 100, not 1,000, not 10,000. I mean, we're not talking about practice.
Starting point is 00:06:54 We're not about 100,000. employees, they're laying off. And then maybe I got a couple of the clips to show to you guys. With that being said, guys, last chance, July 1st 6 p.m. Fatherhood, a webinar, free webinar. If you haven't yet registered, go to, it's just the last chance for you. Once we do it, it's out.

Twice a year, we do something where you get a chance to compete to be on a podcast. Last time we did this, we had a friend that got on, who was with Tesla for eight years, and we had an incredible, and I mean an incredible time with him here. So let me tell you what we're doing for 4th of July. First of all, if you can go to the website to show what we're doing special for 4th of July on the main one that says 4th of July, if we have that on the website,

I cannot wait to see you or have a face time with you or see you guys represent the Future Looks Bright brand or Faith Over Fear all over the world. With that being said, let's get right into it. Gavin Newsom comes out,
Starting point is 00:10:43 makes a video, talks about the fact that the wealth tax, because he was pushing back on the wealth tax. I don't know if you guys are watching this or not. He was saying, no, it's not a good idea. Rokana and him were going back and forth and Rokana's like, what's wrong with you? Why don't you do it? We should do this. And then finally the main caves and doesn't just say agrees with the well tax, but he goes even beyond where socialist wants, pay very close attention if you make over 155 a year or if you make as a household over 255 year. Watch this clip here. It's dedicated to you. and a new social contract. Can you go back a little bit?
Starting point is 00:11:21 Can you go back a little bit? Think about this. Just 10% of it's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract. Think about this, just 10% of people, 10% of people in this country own two thirds of the wealth. A 30-year-old, for the first time in American history is not doing better than his or her parents. That's a five-alarm fire. American wages have stood still in the cost across the spectrum, cost of living. have skyrocketed. The system is fundamentally broken. The federal tax code, the corporate tax code,
Starting point is 00:11:55 and the inheritance tax code seem to be written for a different set of Americans. It's time for an economic reset, a true minimum tax. So you can pause right there. Folks, here's what he's saying to you. He's saying vote for me to be the president so I can go tax everybody in the top 10% of the category. And a top 10% is enriched, by the way. Top 10% makes 155, individually, household 255. If you make 155 a year and you live in LA, you're broke. If you make 155 year and you live in Manhattan, you are super broke. If you make 255 a year and you live in Manhattan trying to have a decent life, you're broke. If you're making 255 a year, that's 10% of households.
Starting point is 00:12:39 After taxes in the state of California, maybe you're keeping 150, give or take. So what's 150, 12K a month? Go ahead and pay for all this stuff that you have to pay in California. you're broke. So now does he not just, he doesn't just want to take this well tax to a, you know, the state, he said no to. Now he says, let's skip the state, let's go to the national.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Hey, DSA, I'm here, socialist, vote for me. I can be a socialist candidate. Hey, Mom, Donnie, give me some attention. I'm going to be a socialist. I'll be a good socialist, please. Come on, let me, let me cave. Let me cave to these other Democrats and to these ideas. And if you can go to my tweet, by the way,
Starting point is 00:13:15 on what I said to him on this, Yeah, right here, Gavin Newsom says, don't worry, we'll be taxing trillionaires even more. Time to cough up after all that California corporate welfare. He's talking about Ilamasa. If he can go to the tweet on what I said towards him as well on this, is he caved. He caved. That's what he did. Socialists got him.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Newsom is officially a socialist. Just go on X and go a little bit lower, go a little bit lower, lower, lower, lower. It's coming up right there. Go above that. One minute you're a Democrat. Next minute you're a socialist. that the DSA break you, you know the billionaire tax is a bad idea. Why not stand your ground as a Democrat instead of joining the socialist camp?
Starting point is 00:13:54 Tom, I'm going to come to you in a second. Terrible strategy. Here's what's going on. They gave him $24 billion for homelessness. He wasted it. Homelessness doubled. He had $100 billion surplus in 2022. You know what it was at the end of the year last year?
Starting point is 00:14:09 Minus 10 million. You go from $100 billion dollars in surplus to minus $10 billion. He's got $216 to $216 to $2,000. 46 billionaires in the state of California. They don't think they're going to leave. They think they're going to stick around and be over there. They're not like, yeah, people are not going to be leaving, going to any other place. And they don't realize the math behind this.
Starting point is 00:14:26 This isn't a 5% tax. This is about an 8 to 10% tax. Here's him and Elon Musk having a conversation to get it back. 14 years ago. Elon Musk was a liberal. I don't know if you've ever seen this or not. I found this clip, send it to the guys. Watch this clip between him and Elon Musk. Go for it. Look how friendly they look.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Hey, y'all. It's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder what if, like, What if it doesn't hold up? That sofa was four days old. You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if. Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit Wayfair.com.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Wayfair, every style, every home. I have to go up to orbit and actually make its way down here in the Pacific Ocean. What's your sense of where you are and what's your concern as you grow this company? Spacex is doing really well. We had a successful mission at the Space Station. We're able to go back their end back gain. It really exceeded our... Great best expectations.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And now we're going to go do a whole bunch more missions like that. We'll also be launching satellites, broadcasts and communication satellites. But you didn't come out of a background. And, you know, you didn't come out of NASA. You didn't come out of background in space. It's an improbable outcome. Yeah. Well, how did I mean, I mean, and the reason I frame, I mean, from PayPal on the internet to changing the way.
Starting point is 00:15:40 We look at the show. From Friendly, you had him, that SpaceX was tiny at the time. compared to some of these other things. Now it's a $1.8, $2 trillion auto company, what they've got going on there. And now he wants to tax billionaires. Tom, your thoughts on this with him wanting to tax billionaires nationally, well-tax, as well as targeting the top 10%.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Well, first of all, it's completely wrongheaded. But what you have to do is Gavin Newsom's policies are a polluted lake, and you have to go upstream from the polluted lake. You know, I'm a big fan of upstream, you know, analysis. January, Gavin Newsom was worried about the backlash that was coming from the billionaire. our tax. Some very big guys were leaving the state. Some people were getting in Gavin's here saying, I don't know if this is good. This is going to hurt. This is going to hurt revenue the state of
Starting point is 00:16:27 California. Gavin gets quiet. Remember that? He was talking about it, but not like this. And then he actually was quoted in two articles staying, I hope it doesn't pass. I'm not sure if it's the, I'm not sure if it's the way to go. All of a sudden we had that Gavin Newsom. Then you remember that? like April time frame, I believe. Then what happens? I will tell you when he flipped and I'll tell you what make him cave. Cave is the right word, PBD. He caved. You know why he caved? The New York primaries. Three people sweep in from DSA right next to Mandami. And then Soros and the money is out there. You need two things. You need support and you need money from within the party. And right now, the arm of the party, like the Tea Party was the arm of the Republican,
Starting point is 00:17:14 some years ago, like MAGA was the arm of the Republicans in 16. Now you're seeing DSA and Soros as the arm of strength and the arm of momentum. And Gavin Newsom caved. Gavin Newsom moved right after those New York primaries, Pat. That's the way I see it. Now, that's what happened. What's the outcome? He doesn't understand, or maybe he does understand, but I hope the voters understand.
Starting point is 00:17:41 When you give the Democrats a knob like this on the data. of taxation, they turn it. Good news. We're taxing the rich tomorrow morning. Bad news. We also think you're rich. Yep. Adam. I don't know if Gavin Newsom even understands what he stands for at this point. I think he just looks at what's going on in the world and goes,
Starting point is 00:18:00 yep, that's what I am now. There's three people that I just do not believe anything they say. Number one is Gavin Newsom. Number two is the IRGC. And number three is my ex-girlfriend. We won't talk about her. Let's stay on Gavin Newsom. By the way, taxes.
Starting point is 00:18:16 So what percentage of taxes does the 1% pay in America? Based on the estimations, it's up to 40% of the overall federal taxes the 1% already pays. The top 10% is 70% the top 50% pay 97% of taxes. We're already getting taxed up to wazoo, gas tax, billionaire tax, wealth tax, income tax, state tax, tax, tax, tax. And his answer is, we got to tax more. By the way, this is not an income tax, it's a wealth tax. So they're just going to tax your assets, right? Seizure.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah, I mean, look, we've learned this before. What did Ronald Reagan say? The nine scariest words are, I'm from the government. I'm here to help. They're not here to help. They're here to seize your assets, seize the means of production. And this is Gavin Newsom. And by the way, it works for him somehow.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah. Somehow he's still in power. Yeah. And by the way, this leads to two other stories. And we'll get into the next stories. The next story is the fact that Soros comes out, announcing that he's given $100 million dollars, into the midterms. You guys want to pull that story up. I don't know if we have a video on that or now. New York Post posted this. George Soros and Alex have funneled, $103 million into midterms so far, on track to shatter spending record. Can you go a little bit lower on that story? And who are the candidates that they're supporting? So George Soros have spent $102.something million. Money talks and Soros could shatter his own record of $128 million. Last midterms four years ago when he was the biggest single donor. Money talks and Soros money.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Says the most insiduous, unconstitutional, costly tax hikes in American history are on the table, says Douglas Kellogg's state project director for American tax reform go a little bit lower. Sources want to be bond villain. Can you pull up the picture of who they're giving the money to? Of that, $52 million came from George Soros through the private corporation, Joe Sor, Sore, under his name, and the other half-50 million dollars from Fund for Policy Reform, a nonprofit which lasts Alex Alex Sors as a director.
Starting point is 00:20:13 In previous election cycle, open society action funds cash flow to groups backing lefty stars like squad, AOC, and Representative Ilhan Omar, but in its tax filings aren't yet available. Go a little bit lower to see what else we got here.
Starting point is 00:20:29 So he is seeing this as an opportunity. Tom, by the way, he was even, if I'm not mistaken, also supporting Graham. Yeah, of course. Go a little bit lower. Yeah, Graham Platner also got money from him. Go a little bit lower. proud of that tattoo. Alex Orr's 40 and his father both spent a maximum $7,000, $14,000 to Maine
Starting point is 00:20:45 senatorial candidate, Grand Platner. So they're very open about it on what they're doing. Tom, how do you process this going into the midterms? We have to look at who they're going into the midterms. They're going to look for the populist candidate that can get them in position because it becomes their Manchurian candidate. John Ossoff is in there. Absolutely. And you can see, Ro Khanna. Roqana has been populist in California, has managed to keep a, you know, a fairly happy Silicon Valley around him. But I don't recognize the Ro Khanna we saw on this podcast and some of the positions he's saying today. And yet that's where this money is pumping. He's pumping him into the candidates that are not, he's pumping into the wild cards or the wildcats, Pat,
Starting point is 00:21:34 you know what I mean? The ones that you and I look at and go, my goodness. But he's also pumping them into others that are less like wildcats and more look like, you know, electable core. And when you've got affordability and, you know, I saw surveys over the weekend. I'm going to say it out loud. Affordability and also an increasing distrust of the Israel relationship. I saw an under 25 poll that had both of those things up there. And that's what he stands for and that's what he pushes. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:22:06 The people are moving. Adam. Soros? Soros. I mean, look, some people are going to say, well, Elon Musk donated this money. Look, I don't see anything wrong necessarily with billionaires putting their money with their mouth is. I actually respect it. What I don't respect is basically what they actually stand for.
Starting point is 00:22:27 So basically, here's George Soros is a radical, radical leftist. Is that fair to say? Hardcore. Okay. I don't think that Elon Musk is a radical anything. Of course. At the end of the day, MAGA, you know what they say if you stand in the middle, middle of the road, you're going to get run over. So you have to pick a side. And that's on most issues. And I understand that most histories are not black and white. There's a gray area.
Starting point is 00:22:50 At the end of the day, here's what's happening. Maga has basically taken over the GOP. It's Trump's party now. And the DSA has taken over the Democratic Establishment Party. The George Soros is of the world, the mom donis of the world. They're the captain now. So one says, make America great again, and one literally advocates death for America. One will use the flag as a napkin, the Chevalier, whatever name is that Mamdani endorsed. One flies the American flag high and proud. At the end of the day, they're two completely diametrically opposite perspectives on the vision of America. And by the way, you have a choice.
Starting point is 00:23:27 You have to say, do you look at what MAG is doing? Or do you like what the DSA is doing? Here's the catch. you're not going to agree with 100% of either thing. But which one do you actually identify with? For a long time, me personally, I was more of a moderate. Okay, I could see this. I could see that.
Starting point is 00:23:44 At this point, when I look on the left and I see what's going on the DSA, just sign me up for full MAGA. I think right now, and I have never said this before, with everything that's happening, with Mamdani and Gavin Newsombs and the Governor Warnock, by the way, Pat, Senator Raphael Warnock, the guy, the bald black guy with the glasses, who's getting paid by him. He was inside of a synagogue, I believe, and he was saying,
Starting point is 00:24:09 denying the trans agenda is an offense to the glory of God. He's standing on a pulpit. There's a clip of him saying that you have to understand we are in a fight for the soul of this nation. And I've never said that before because I'm just, I'm taking a look back, Pat, and I'm looking at it. How do we get here? How do we get that the face right now of the Democratic Party is Mamdani, AOC and all these people are bending the knee.
Starting point is 00:24:34 And I'm telling you right now, the more I think about it, Pat, Donald Trump destroyed this forever. Because since 2016, they tried to stop him. Russia collusion, fake impeachment, Fauci, COVID-19, name it, Pat. The tech companies stopping stories, blocking him, open border, fake, all that stuff, that. Everything was focused on Trump. And now, guess what? The dust settles. And what are we left with?
Starting point is 00:24:56 We are left with this party. Again, no vision, no policies, no leaders. And because of that, you have people like Adam just mentioned. They're hijacking America hating Marxist, communist pro 9-11 promoting people that are trying to drag us down. And you have George Soros, who absolutely him and his evil mini-me freaking son, Pat, they hate this country. They love this globalist progressive nonsense system. And they just want to destroy America from within. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:28 And it's our job, guys. I don't care about how much you hate, Trump or Republicans or whatever. This is a fight for the soul because it's a cancer. It started in New York and it's starting to spread. And I'll show a video later of Dearborn, Michigan. You won't recognize Dearborn Michigan. You think it's the Middle East. And I'm sorry, this is a, I'm going to keep saying it.
Starting point is 00:25:46 This is a Christian nation. And the way that these people are acting and thinking, it's anti that. This is, Pat, just FYI, where do you think that is? Play this video? Pat, where do you think that is? If you had to guess. I mean, I'm going to say Dear Boy. That's Dearborn Michigan, guys.
Starting point is 00:26:02 You think it's a joke? You think this Mamdani smiling with that dumb look on his face? This is what you're up against. And they're all bending the knee. Gavin Newsom, Cory Booker, they're all bending to knee. This is not America, bro. Yeah. Can I just add one thing to what Vinnie said?
Starting point is 00:26:20 I agree with Vinny. You know, you said something that actually caught me off guard when you said Raphael Warnock said he wants to restore the soul of our nation. I'm like, where have I heard that before? That was Joe Biden's campaign. If you remember that in 2020, he kept talking about, we have to restore the soul of our nation. But look what happened after he, quote, unquote, restored the soul of our nation. We had to use pronouns and we had the transgender day of visibility instead of Easter.
Starting point is 00:26:45 This is what's going on in America today when we're restoring the soul of our nation. Yeah, let's go to the next story. Next story is, and it kind of goes with all this stuff. If he can go to the CalShit to show what are the chances of the billionaire tax passing, look at this. What? It dropped. It came back up. passing. 40%. It's close to 40% now in Cali. How much money's been put on it?
Starting point is 00:27:04 524,784 is the volume. And it just came back up. So California, I was talking to a couple, a friend mine was over here yesterday. They went to the Portugal game, Columbia, than when we were at and we were having a conversation about what's going on over there with taxes. He's like, man, I don't know what's going to be happening to us long term. But the billionaire well taxed, Tom, if you were a betting man, would you bet on bet on it passing or not passing? I believe it's going to pass on a populist wave as the summer of affordability continues to bake California. I don't see a reason why it doesn't pass because it only hurts 216 to 246 people. Exactly. And what are those people going to do, Pat? Do they leave?
Starting point is 00:27:44 They have a choice to leave or stay. And it's going to be a very nasty situation. And if the affordability is so tough, how does the regular person say what's right for the state when they're sitting there asking themselves what's right for me? Yeah. So, by the way, this goes with a story that came out with Democrat Chris Murphy saying $25 minimum wage could win back Trump voters. Is this it? Go for it. We are here to introduce a simple piece of legislation that stands for a simple premise. A minimum wage in the United States of America should be a living wage in the United States of America. This is the most powerful, the most powerful. affluent, the wealthiest country
Starting point is 00:28:28 in the world. There is no reason that somebody should go to work full time in this country and not be able to pay their bills. They didn't pay attention to now. Is he going to get to the number guys or no? In a world where we just created the first trillionaire in a world where the top
Starting point is 00:28:48 1% of Americans, I'll just tell you what he's going to say. He's going to say $25 minimum wage. He wants to go to $25 minimum wage from $7.25 and he thinks we need to go there, which $25 minimum wage is $50,000 of your salary to just kind of look at the math how it works. And here's the problem that they don't think about with a $25 minimum wage.
Starting point is 00:29:09 You know who can afford $25 minimum wage? Businesses in L.A., businesses in New York City, maybe in Chicago, any of the top 20 metropolitan cities, they'll take a hit, but it's not going to be that big of a hit. You know who's going to take a big hit? the small business owner in Hope,
Starting point is 00:29:27 the small business owner in Toledo, the small business owner in these small cities that they're trying to barely make any money and they're paying $12 bucks an hour, $15 an hour because it's a different cost of living. Can you pull up a number to say, you know, what is the median income by state? Pull up median income, median income by state.
Starting point is 00:29:52 You got it. So let's look at the median income by state. If we look at by state, look at this. Okay, what is at the top, the $104,000? It doesn't put a state next to it. Does it put a state next to? I don't see a state next to that. I believe it's New York.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Let's just say New York 104, 828. What's two? Jersey 104. 104. Maryland 102, Hawaii 100, California 99, Hampshire 99, Washington 98, Connecticut. Now go to the bottom. So New Mexico, 65.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Okay, Louisiana, 63. Arkansas, 62. West Virginia, 61. And the lowest, it doesn't say the state there for whatever reason, $59,000. Okay? You want to apply this. Do you realize like it's 2x in New York versus, I think that could be Mississippi? I don't know what that state is.
Starting point is 00:30:37 It's 2x, the number. And you just want to say, yeah, let's raise it from $7.25 to $25 an hour. You're going to break the backs of these small business owners. And you know who wins, by the way? They don't understand how the math works. Guess who can afford to pay $25 an hour, the big companies? You know who can't? Small companies.
Starting point is 00:30:55 You know who should be for small business owners? The Democrats that they say for the helping the working class people. Every time you raise the minimum wage, big businesses are like, man, I love me some Democrats. Please raise the minimum wage because I can afford it. And I pass it along because the product, let's just say they buy this. Let's say we buy, say we buy 500 of these. And so if I buy 500 of these, the guy that sells it, he'll say, I'll sell you 500 of these. Let's make up a number for 10 bucks a pop.
Starting point is 00:31:27 But what if I buy 1,000 of these? Oh, 5 bucks a pop. What if I buy 10,000 of these? Oh, 350 a pop. What if I buy 100,000 of these? Buck 80 a pop. So who can afford 100,000 of these? Walmart. The guy that's running a small little shop says, I can only buy 88 of them. Well, that's $12 a pop. And you want to raise the minimum wage on that guy? You hate small businesses.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Democrats hate small businesses. They literally do. You hate small business owners. You love big business. Democrats indirectly love big businesses. They just love protecting these big businesses. Don't you just love protecting the big businesses? That's who can afford it.
Starting point is 00:32:13 It's basic economics. It's not complicated stuff here that we're talking about. Go try to order 10 of these and see how much a custom one of these costs for 10. then go order $100,000. Test it for yourself. See how much the difference the price is. It's amazing how much they save. So I think, Tom, this is a terrible idea
Starting point is 00:32:30 for small business owners. But the question then becomes, should the minimum wage stay at $7.25, or should they raise the national minimum wage? Should it just be left alone and let the market decide? What's your position with this, Tom? I've always felt that the market should decide.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Because if no one is willing to work for a certain wage, no one will take that job. and that's the market forces. Should there be some sort of a floor? I don't know. As soon as you put a floor in, now you give the government a knob and they're going to turn it. I think the unintended consequence here, they don't really realize what's going on.
Starting point is 00:33:05 On day one, right, today, right now, Vinnie, you know what a Big Mac average in America is? $6.12 cents. Just the Big Mac, not the meal. Just a Big Mac. And the average wage at McDonald's, in small markets, it's $10 to $12 an hour, from the guy's first starting and somebody's been there a little while.
Starting point is 00:33:23 And in larger market, it's 13 to 14. So it's 1220. The average wage at McDonald's Pat is 1220. And the Big Mac is 612. If I raise the minimum wage to 25 bucks, I go from 1220 to 25. That's exactly doubling. The Big Mac now will cost $12.42 by my math.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And that's just on labor costs. That's just on labor costs. And so I don't think they understand. And when they tried to, you know what they did? When they tried to move the minimum wage in New York, I've talked about this before. And I think it was Bloomberg that did it. It accelerated the big business McDonald's investing in kiosk so you could go in an order and eliminated jobs that some high school kids could have had. So it's exactly what Pat's talking about.
Starting point is 00:34:09 You love the big businesses. They'll find a way out. They'll do it. The small businesses and the small workers and the teenagers and people that are actually trying to do things, you think you're helping them, but you're not. Are you one of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets? Yes? Good. This is for you. Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different. Locked in. Loyal, invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music. They feel seen by it, like it belongs to them.
Starting point is 00:34:38 So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo. So, are you ready to talk to fans? Spotify advertising. You're among fans. Adam. This guy, Chris Murphy, and I'm sure he's a nice guy, is absolutely weak on everything. I don't know if you saw this.
Starting point is 00:34:58 He was actually on Meet the Press this weekend. When you said you brought his name up, I actually didn't hear about this $25 minimum wage thing. I went and saw him on MSNBC. By the way, this guy, Ryan Noble, whoever filled in for Kristen Walker, did a great job. And he kept asking him,
Starting point is 00:35:16 should Americans have an ID in order to vote. And the way that he just spinelessly wiggled his way around the answer and the shout out to the host pressing him. So are you saying that we don't need IDs? You just saw him like it was like Gavin Newsom like weak minded just no backbone. What's my point with this? He's using this $25 thing as a complete distraction. By the way, what's the highest minimum wage in the country? I think it's $17 in California and Washington. So there's no state that even has a $25 minimum wage. In his state of Connecticut, I think it's $16.
Starting point is 00:35:52 So he's using this as a distraction. All they have is look at Trump, look at Trump, look at Trump. And then when they try to reverse it and say, well, now it's on you, buddy, what do you want to do with the Save Act? Nope, $25 minimum wage. It's a complete distraction. And at the end of the day, this weak, feckless democratic establishment is getting cannibalized by the DSA,
Starting point is 00:36:12 and you're going to lose your job to an even lefter person than you, buddy. Good luck out there. That's the big point. They're going to lose their job. jobs to the harder left. The core Democrats, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry to interrupt you. It's all good. The core Democrats are useful idiots as the even more lefties show up and are going to run the party. Exactly. Tom, I'm sitting here and I'm hearing the story. After story, after story, him commenting and then you commenting. Name me something that the Democratic Party is doing positive. Give me a, give me something that would make me change my mind, like how
Starting point is 00:36:48 Elon Musk changed his mind and became more conservative. Can you give me one thing? No, and I'm being, I'm being dead serious. Give me something. Sell me, sell me, try to make me become a Democrat. Seriously, sell me this pen. No, I'm dead serious. Being a, being a conservative, how would you, they're gone. They're done, Adam. Because you used to be a Democrat, like the Bill Clinton Democrats and all that. That's gone. What the heck happened? Do you want me to attempt to answer that? my answer is, you know, they famously said that the MAGA sort of lost its way from the old establishment. And then the counter argument is what the Democrat abate has lost their mind.
Starting point is 00:37:24 And in my opinion, it's this. Their entire identity was framed that anti-Trump, anti-Trump. They had no unifying message. And you can see it in the approval ratings. Nobody likes Democrat. Democrats are not cool. How they winning this? So here's my point.
Starting point is 00:37:37 The Democratic Socialists had said, you know what? We need to actually run on something. We're going to run on open borders. We're going to run on transing your kids. We're going to run on wealth taxes. At least we stand for something. Now, what they stand for is certifically insane and completely anti-American, and they're actually proudly anti-American.
Starting point is 00:37:55 But at least they stand for something. They say if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. The Democratic establishment stands for nothing. And that's why they're getting overtaken, as Tom just said, by the DSA, because at least the DSA stands for something. Yeah, and by the way, this is leading me to, want to talk about the story of this movie next. I don't know why, but I'm going into this movie. Folks, if you haven't seen this, there's a movie that came out called Citizen Vigilante.
Starting point is 00:38:24 By the way, it is at any given time on Apple. If you go on Apple right now, it's probably the number two or number three movie on Apple. I cannot even believe it. It's a $2.3 million out of budget movie. And it's with this guy named Army Hammer. Army tells a story about the fact that when the guy called them, the movie is done by, produced by Uebo, he said, when he called them and he said, hey, we're going to be doing this movie, are you in? The lawyer says, he wants you in the movie. What do you want to do? He says, tell him yes. He says, do you want to hear the number? He says, no, I don't care. Just tell him yes. He says, okay, I said yes. He says, what's the movie about? They go in and they start doing the movie. They're in Croatia shooting
Starting point is 00:39:03 the movie. He's like, okay, let's go. Me on a camera guy. Let's go. Let's shoot this. Let's shoot that, let's shoot this. Do you know what the story is about? Absolutely not. It's a story about a guy who one day he goes into the market with his mother when he's a little boy, when he leaves, a man is walking. The city, they don't explain where it is, but it's probably depicting Europe and UK London. A man shows up with a knife, stabs his mom in front of him in the neck. It's very gory. She bleeds to death in front of him. And this guy, becomes a citizen vigilante. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:39 And he makes a video, he says, I'm doing this for you until you can learn to do it yourself. Vinny, there is a scene, and you can go to it, you just had it a minute ago. There is a scene that I can't show you. Okay. But it's this scene, this right here. This scene he comes up, okay? And if you just see that boy, when, pause it right there, that boy, the actor in the movie, was one of the of the boys that raped a 15-year-old girl, him and his seven, eight friends, over and over,
Starting point is 00:40:14 and over, Muslim boy, okay? The mother posts something on social media saying she deserved it because of what she was wearing. She deserved what she got. The mother in this scene says that. Okay. He goes meets the girl, this citizen vigilante, Army Hammer. He goes meets the girl, you can pause it right there. He goes meets the girl and says, hey, that's the girl, the actress.
Starting point is 00:40:35 He goes, meets the girl, father opens the door, he says, hey, I just want to ask you, do you want justice? He says, the father's like, just leave us alone. You're probably with BBC. He says, I just want to ask you, do you want justice? The daughter shows up, she says, I want justice, I want justice. He says, that's all you have to sit. You will get justice. He goes to the house, opens the door, goes to them, asks the boy to call the other seven boys that raped a little girl, the 15-year-old girl.
Starting point is 00:41:05 one by one by one kills everybody in the family. Wow. Everybody in the family. The mom, the daughter, the dad, the son, and the seven boys that show up one by one by one. There is a scene of the judge. The judge in the movie goes and says, there are two victims here. One is the girl that was raped by seven, eight boys, but the other boys are also victims. Did you understand what happened?
Starting point is 00:41:32 The other boys are the victims. He walks up to the judge. play any of these clips because I don't, YouTube's probably not going to want this, so don't show any of this stuff. He walks up to the judge and says, hey, judge, did you by the way do this? Boom. puts a needle in his neck and it's heroin. Walks away, puts him in a car, drives him up. He says, by the way, you know what you did? You know you said this? Can you pull up the clip? I think you can actually pull up the clip of the judge in citizen vigilante. I'm watching this. You know what he does to the judge? He takes him out in
Starting point is 00:42:02 another car, of course, kills the judge right there because the judge said they were victims just as much as the girl was the victim. There's a scene, Vinnie, in this movie, this is the part, and I'm going to read it to you. Okay. Where the mother said she deserved to be raped. The mother said, her son raped a girl, and he said, she, the mother said, she deserved to be raped, then she takes the social media post off. Mom posted on social. She deserved to. She deserved to to be raped and says, if you believe they deserve to be raped, why did you come here to this country? Why did you leave your country? I don't think it was good ones that got out of your country. I think it was bad ones. So he's talking about the bad Muslims got out of the country,
Starting point is 00:42:45 not the good ones to Europe. This is an unfair takeover by Islamic extremists and the woke left. That's a line in the movie from him. Army Hammer. You end this, or we, the people, end it ourselves. He's telling you to the judge. I do this on the, until you learn to do it for yourself. By the way, I am telling you, the reason why this movie is getting so much traction is because that's exactly a lot of people feel right now in Europe. And my worry is, this is my worry.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I'm telling you this right now. My worry is, the average person is going to watch this movie, and guess what they're going to do? They're going to be angry. They're going to be rage. Can you pull up that it's banned? What countries is it banned in? Just ask Chad GPT, what countries,
Starting point is 00:43:31 which countries is citizens? and Vigilante movie banned in. I think Germany's one of them for sure. And weird. So you know what Ilan did? Elon posted the entire movie for free on X for people to watch. Wow. It's for him.
Starting point is 00:43:42 It is everywhere for you to watch this. Yeah, right there. It's banned and where? UK is not currently available. Not current. I'm not surprised why it's not available. Australia. Germany effectively banned.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Not effective, not available in Australia. And then you got a bunch of other countries. Vinnie, remember when I walked out of the movie Joker at 43rd minute? I said, this is about like the Luigi Manjian. only stories get inspired by movies like the Joker where you go kill the capitalist. I think this is the complete opposite and I think it's going to succeed. Really? Like it's going to, the movie's going to blow up?
Starting point is 00:44:18 Because I mean, it's number one. No, no, no. The movie's going to inspire a lot of people to do this. I'm telling you right now this is one of the, this is one of the darkest movies I've seen that's going to inspire actual vigilantes who are sick of it in Europe. Like here's Tommy Robinson. I think this level of guys is going to show up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Not Tommy. Because the next level guys are going to be like, okay, you want to do this? We'll take it ourselves. Don't worry about it. We got it. You want to, like, you know, back in the days in New York City when the mob would say, what did you do to one of our girls?
Starting point is 00:44:53 Yeah. You did that? Don't worry about the cops. Yeah. Don't worry about the state. Don't worry about the federal. worry about the Gambino family. Worry about, I think, that level of chaos has shown up to Europe.
Starting point is 00:45:06 When you see this movie, you're going to, matter of fact, I want to watch it with you. Let's do it. Because I want to see your reaction. When you watch it, you're going to see what it does to you. You're going to see what it does to you. It's a very, and the reason why this has happened, because millions of people are absolutely sick of these guys being protected of raping innocent girls, and they have to sit there and say, well, it's your fault.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Go figure it out for yourself with that Rupert gang rape report that came up with, you know, the girl Sammy that was talking about it. So anyways, I recommend you to watch it. I don't recommend you watch it with your kids. I recommend you watch it by yourself because you're going to be enraged and you're going to say, if only 50 people watch this that have nothing to lose, they're going to do some shit. Well, Pat, if you think about it, it makes a kind of a reference of the time that the mother called the police. and the police go, oh, your daughter was raped, you should just be happy that they're sharing their culture with you. That's in the report.
Starting point is 00:46:03 And then my question is, at what point, and I mentioned it on last week's podcast, at what point, 250,000 girls raped, tortured, tongues nailed to a wall, some killed. If your government is ignoring it all the way to the top to the cure stormers because they don't want to be held racist, at what point do the citizens have to say enough is enough? And I'm not saying go do the Army Hammer version in the movie, but it has to be the people.
Starting point is 00:46:32 It has to be the people. By the way, who was the guy that made the movie? Can you go back to the guy? Who's the guy? Who's Uwe? Have you guys heard about this guy or no? No. So this guy is who, Germany filmmaker.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Oh, he's a German filmmaker. Oh, so meaning he's a true believer of this movie. Oh, yeah. He came to prominence during 2000s for adaptations on video game franchises films. He alone, Dark Adaptations. It's considered one of the worst films ever made. So he bowls subsequent projects, 2010, released video, Rampage, and then therefore citizen vigilante gained attention and controversy
Starting point is 00:47:05 after it was refused certification in Germany. Go a little bit lower on this guy's story? This guy's story, Bowles, first two major hits. Yeah, let me tell you, it is a, this movie was made by somebody that truly believes in the movie that he made, because it's that risky of a movie to make. This guy knew he made this movie, how risky was when he made this movie. When did he write it, Pat?
Starting point is 00:47:27 Do you know, like when it was done? I have no idea when he wrote it. This is the type of movie that... You remember American History X? Of course. Okay. Remember that one scene? I mean, some of these movies will inspire young scene
Starting point is 00:47:45 with the picture John the corner of the street. Some of these movies are going to inspire the wrong people to do something with it. This is not a regular movie. And you know why I was asking, Pat? because it hit me, because obviously it's going to be banned in Germany. He's actually one of these people that cares. Because remember in 2020 time the Park gang rape where nine men were convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl? They kept calling people in coming.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Central Park? Yeah, and Pat, all of them basically got away with it. And guess who got arrested? The lady that went on WhatsApp and found one of the rapists and was like, shame on you and blah, blah, blah. They went after her. They went after her. Do you remember that? Of course.
Starting point is 00:48:18 So you remember that? So I'm good for him. Maybe that story inspired him to write something like this. Good for him. I am, by the way, Dominic Targinski posted it on his Instagram. If you go to Dominic Targinski's Instagram, you'll see what he posted on his own Instagram. And you know, he is from Poland. And, you know, Poland has the lowest rape percentage in all of Europe, lowest unemployment, lowest all of that.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Yeah, he posted on his Instagram, this picture, Citizen Vigilante, and he put his own face in it. Instagram, guys, you keep going to X. I keep saying Instagram, Instagram, not X, Instagram. Yeah, citizen vigilante put his picture on it. PPD. Yeah. What happened? No, I just want to ask you a question.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Go forward. Yeah. So this concept of vigilante justice, you know, we've seen it in the movies. We've seen, you know, I think taken. Boondock Saints. Boondock Saints. I think John Wick. I think it has some positive attributes, but also some negatives.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Like you mentioned Luigi Mangione. Like he did what was perceived as vigilante justice. The Guardian Angels, the guy that ran in New York to basically cost New York their, their, the mayoral seat, but thoughts on vigilante justice, good, bad, ugly, is, at the end of the day, when institutions fail and they don't basically implement what people want, this is what happens, but there is a slippery slope to it. It is, and let me tell you, because, no, for sure, like, I asked a very specific question, like, I asked my, I don't even want to say what I asked my son, I said, if somebody did something to me, how would you do it? What would you do?
Starting point is 00:49:51 Yeah. And it's like to say, and I wanted to see what he was going to say. I said, you can't go full because everyone's going to be hurt from it. Never go full. No, no. What I mean by full, like to go and want to retaliate at what level? Because people are negatively impacted by you doing something like that. But I'm telling you, the reason why this guy could do that, he had no relationship with his father.
Starting point is 00:50:16 He never even had any relationship with his father. his father sent him to boarding school and never even followed up with him, ends up becoming a billionaire. He's very wealthy in the, what do you call it, in the movie. There's a scene in the movie where he's like, yes, sir, so 10% of our people that pay rent or apartments, they don't pay the rent. And he says, okay, get rid of them.
Starting point is 00:50:37 He says, no, we can't get rid of them because the law says, so how long does it take to get rid of him? What's about seven months? He says, so let me get the straight for seven months. They're not going to pay the rent? He says, yeah, seven months they don't pay the rent. What do you mean they don't pay them? the rent. He says because the law states that they don't pay the rent for seven months. He says,
Starting point is 00:50:53 give me the list of all the names of people that don't pay the rent. Trust me, I'm going to go kick him out of our apartment. I don't care what the law says. He says, you're going to be facing a lawsuit with that. He says, that's okay. That's my problem. The guy literally has nothing to look forward to. No kids, no wife, nothing. There's a very nasty scene. That's why I said, don't watch it with your kids where he goes and gets a prostitute. And it's like pretty much soft porn is what happens. And it's nasty. and it's a long time. And you're going to be like, what is wrong with this guy? Guys like this exist.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Of course they do. They exist. And they're going to be like, you want to do this to my country? Watch what I'm going to do to you. I'm going to take it. And so they bring a guy that works for the state that's trying to stop him from doing what he's doing. And he becomes the villain in the movie, but he's representing the government. This guy goes into the hospital to meet a girl and asks you, you want justice?
Starting point is 00:51:45 And she eventually says, I do. says, don't worry about it. I'll take care of justice. And he goes. Then the other guy, that's what the state shows up, to seek justice. And she thinks it's the same guy. And the moment she realized it's the state that came to want to arrest the other guy, she said, oh, you were just here a couple days ago. I told you, I want to seek justice. He says, no, I was. And he says, no, it was probably one of your colleagues. And he says, who will tell me about him? And he starts saying, oh, he was short. He was Middle Eastern. He makes, he makes up a character because she knows What's happening?
Starting point is 00:52:16 The state is trying to stop the citizen vigilante. So is Army Hammer the good guy or the bad guy in the movie? He's a vigilante. That's my point. No, no. But he is a bad guy that you support because he's willing to do what the government isn't doing. So he's a good guy who has to do bad thing. Yeah, by the way.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Can I say that? It is a very complicated movie. And ultimately my point is. And sometimes you talk about movies because they're discomplicated, super complicated. Yes. And you know how they say that sometimes art. imitates life and life imitates art. I think this is going to happen.
Starting point is 00:52:49 This might be based on a real story. I think this is about to happen. That's my point. And then here's my final point. How many years do you think Europe is ahead of the United States in terms of this? Well, let me tell you what people are saying about this. They're saying this is an Islamophobic movie. You're going to, by the way, mark my word, someone like this is going to wake up and go around doing this, killing the rapist, and you're going to see people on the left, the
Starting point is 00:53:13 woke left Islamists, all those guys that say Islamophobic, they're going to be. gonna say this movie is the reason why that happened. It's gonna happen in the next three to six months. Just remember when I said this. I don't disagree. By the way, there was a show called Dexter, if you remember that, vigilante justice. He would go after criminals. Take them down, bring them into
Starting point is 00:53:29 like basically a room and do what he had to do. This is a very complicated character. But Dexter was a good guy who had to do bad things. You asked, like, what do the people think of the movie? It split right down the middle. Think about this. If you are a parent of a girl that was raped, tortured, or potentially killed. And from all the way to the top, from the Kirstriamers, covered it up and
Starting point is 00:53:50 said, if you say anything, we're going to say that you're racist and ban you, they're going to love this movie. But if you're the Muslim side and you're like, you know, maybe a family member that was involved in the Pakistani rape gang, guess what? It's Islamophobic, period. You know, this, we've seen this before. In 1974, there was a movie I loved. And I'll say this. I loved that. As a young man, I loved it. It was Death Twist with Charles Bronson. And it was a story of an architect minding his own business, a home invasion. They kill his wife. They raped his daughter. She ends up. traumatized, the daughter survives, and in an institution. He suddenly has no life and nothing
Starting point is 00:54:21 around him. At the funeral for the wife, leaving it in the evening, muggers attack him. He was able to fight them off. But then he becomes the vigilante just like this. Toward the end of the movie, the police are figuring out who it was, because they did process of elimination, was there who's been a victim of violent crime, and they zone in on him. And the police chief at the end, Pat, at the end of Death Wish, goes to see him and he says, I know it's you, but we're not going to arrest you. Why? Because crime is down all over the city. And I don't want them to know it's you. I just want you to leave New York. Yeah. And he goes to shoot. Batman. And then he goes, so he moves the end of the movie. He moves to Chicago. But the whole point was, the whole point. And by the way,
Starting point is 00:55:09 Pat, do you know who did this movie? Not some boutique. guy. This was done in the 70s when all the crime was in New York and 42nd Street, was just peep shows and all the stuff in the smut that we heard about. It was Dino DeLerentis. Dino Delerentis. He's a very director who was very left, but he did this movie, and people were concerned back then. But the whole point of it was if the city, the state, the authorities don't do what's right, and people take it into their own hands, does a very very, Eventually evil get concerned and pull back. Because the police chief says, yeah, we don't want this to get out.
Starting point is 00:55:48 We just want you to leave New York. And they didn't arrest him. Yeah, by the way, he was asked. He was asked about the movie. And he said, German refused to give it a rating. Citizen-Vigilante action thriller described as a modern-day riff on death wish. Director Uwe-Bowell said it was a deliberate censorship decision. I hired a lawyer to complain about it, but we love.
Starting point is 00:56:12 lost in a six to vote as I was told that the film was inciting violence against migrants. And before any of you bedwetting, loony lefty turns to me and says, I'm inciting hatred. No, it's a film. A film inspired by huge political failures that have absolutely nothing to do with me that I take absolute no responsibility for. I do not condone violence against any innocent people ever. Good. This is what he said.
Starting point is 00:56:37 So, folks, again, watch the movie, not with your kids. just go watch it by yourself and then you'll see why and tell me once you finish why. Send me in my neck when you watch a movie I want to hear your thoughts
Starting point is 00:56:47 about this movie. Very, very interesting. Very rarely do you see me watch a movie that gets me thinking this way. This was one of those movies that we're going to continue to talk about. The moment you watch it, Vinnie,
Starting point is 00:56:56 our conversations are going to start. You'll see why. Citizen Vigilante. Citizen Vigilante Army Hammer. Citizen Vigilante Army Hammer. It's a must-watch movie. Must-watch movie. Okay, let me get to the next story here.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Next story here, very different. Uruguay loses. This is a country that's historically been very good in the World Cup. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this story. I'm just going to go to time on this one, and if there's short thoughts, we'll get into it. Uruguay Federation reportedly
Starting point is 00:57:24 Cancer's charter flyed home has players fly commercial after elimination. Can you imagine the country's like, hey, you guys were embarrassing. Go get a freaking coach seat for yourself. The ugliness of Uruguay's 2026 World Cup elimination apparently goes beyond the field. The AUF Uruguay Soccer Federation has canceled the charter flight, take players from their base camp in Mexico, back to their capital city, Montevideo,
Starting point is 00:57:49 according to Uruguayan broadcaster 10th field. Players have instead be left to take commercial flights either home or to vacations with their families. Uruguay's World Cup campaign officially ended on Friday with a 1-0 loss to Spain, which allowed Kappa Verde to advance to the knockout runs and one of the most shocking group results in the history of the tournament. it is a mortifying result for a squad overwhelmingly favored to advance over Kappa Verdi and Saudi Arabia.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Embarrassing is what a lot of people would say. Embarrassing. Tom, how extreme you think this is? Does it make sense? Do Americans watch this and say that's not fair? And they don't understand that soccer's a religion in some other countries. That's exactly right. Some people look at this and say, it's just a soccer game. Other people look at it and go, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Why penalize all the players? isn't there a coach that's supposed to be motivating, setting strategy and doing all this? What's up with that? Well, I think people need to look at is to look at, you know, CV, Cape Verde. And look at that. There are 30,000 more people in Miami than are in Cape Verde. And the GDP is $3.1 billion. And you have Uruguay, a small nation, this is their moment.
Starting point is 00:59:05 this is where they can shine this is where it could happen and the national pride is so great to see them not make it to the elimination round as they say we're going to make it out a group and then let's see who we line up against and let's see if we get a good draw and I understand the feeling
Starting point is 00:59:25 that the people have there but these players they're players you know that they're players they had a bad match do you lose sight that this is a game, even though you've got the backdrop of what it means so much to Uruguay, a small country, and that this is your time to shine?
Starting point is 00:59:46 You know, I can understand it, but I mean, come on. I mean, if anything, Pat, I would have had the coaches fly coach. The team can come home, but the coaches, you're flying on a different plane. But I think it's kind of sad. I think it's very sad. And did every player on that team have a bad game? By the way, this is the coach. Did everyone?

Starting point is 01:01:09 that's What I'm What I'm going to With the When I'm You can pause right there I mean this is emotional stuff Would World Cup
Starting point is 01:01:20 You're representing your country So I, you know what? Good. You don't get rewarded for failure The freaking For four years
Starting point is 01:01:28 They're waiting They're waiting for you Like, Bari, you think I'm gonna feel bad These guys are Deca millionaires We went to go watch Ronaldo A play against
Starting point is 01:01:35 Columbia. I was looking at the field. I go, bro, we're sitting here watching, oh, he's a billionaire, isn't he? He is. We're watching billionaires. And I'm like, oh, no, don't feel bad for them. They're going to be fine, flying commercial with everybody else. Hopefully one of them, two of them have a baby next to them. But the fans, think about the fans. You flew, Pat, you flew from Uruguay.
Starting point is 01:01:53 You've saved all your money. You've come here. Hard arm. You spent merch and everything. And you show up and they get bounced. Oh, you're going to be, at least, listen, they're not playing for Saddam Hussein's son. And I mentioned this. Guys, Uday Hussein was in charge of the national soccer team. If they played bad, there was a special room in the basement of the freaking stadium. He'd hang your feet.
Starting point is 01:02:15 You'd be hanging upside down. And he would have your feet beaten underneath your feet, okay, and tortured for bad performances. Flying commercial isn't a human rights violation. You want a private jet. You earn it. Okay. Period. I'm not mad at it.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Oh, they have to sit on a commercial. I mean, you know, you're a millionaire. World Cup, Columbia, the guy that scored the goal on his own country. You know what happened to when it got, but Pablo Oskobar took his life. Oh, yeah. Right when he got up the plane at home. Oh, yeah, yeah. He was like done.
Starting point is 01:02:42 So at least Uruguay is more friendly. Yeah, sit next to a baby. More friendly. And, you know, again, remember, this is a country that has always been fairly competitive at what they've done. So we'll see what it happened here. I'll just give it real quick. By the way, there's a bigger story here.
Starting point is 01:02:58 And it's basically overpromising and under delivering. They were supposed to be good. We have a thing here about. where it's like, do you meet expectations, do you exceed expectations, or you lower than expectations? At the end of the day, they did not meet expectations. And if you do not meet expectations and you're over promising that you're going to win the World Cup and you get bounced in the first round, you might be having to walk home to Paraguay at this point. Swim. Swim. Swim. Swing. Swing. Walk and swim. The anything. The last point is, you know, from the Bronx sale, they said this short.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Okay. That's it. That's it. I'll leave it there. I'll leave it there. So I say, I don't want to spend a lot of time on that. Now you just can't leave. All right. So, do better. Iran strikes, Iran strikes, U.S. strikes Iran in response to attack on ships. The U.S. struck Iran on Friday in response to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. It's the most significant test yet to an interim understanding reached a week ago by the two countries to begin working to end their months-long war. So, Tom, what happened here with Iran?
Starting point is 01:03:57 The moment you think they have a deal, there's a back and for. What happened here, Tom? Apparently, so there are two sides of the Strait of Hormuz. We've seen the maps, right? You have the traditional lanes that go very close to, you know, right there, straight to her new. You have the northern lanes that go close to an island. There's an island that looks like a little shark. You know, if you see it there up at the tip.
Starting point is 01:04:19 And that's where they're supposed to be going. That's what's the name of that island, Lars or something like that? Anyway, if we had a map that I could actually see. And then they don't, where they don't want them, see the next one down guys, see the map there, X. They don't want the shipping lanes to go close to Oman. They do not want them to go there. They want them to take the northern routes because what they want to do is they want to charge them tolls and things. Well, Iran got upset, and so they sent this drone off and hit the ship.
Starting point is 01:04:53 and then Trump flips out and for the 18th time says you're going to bed without ice cream and says, you know, what are you doing? You're crazy. I'm going to take actions against you. And so he did. He went after apparently they tracked one of the drone launching locations, Pat. And that was a very specific location that the U.S. went and bombed. Oh, you appear to have launched drones from here.
Starting point is 01:05:21 Bab boom. So they hit that and some other military targets. targets, and then everybody says, okay, we're not talking. And now, supposedly, they're going to get together in Doha tomorrow the next day, and we're going to talk. But what happened was Iran really wants everybody to take the shipping lanes closest to them because they want to do the toll and they want to charge them. But the secondary route has been made possible because for the past month and a half, the U.S. and
Starting point is 01:05:47 the Brits cleared the mines on the route that's on the southern lanes closer to Oman. But Iran doesn't want him to go down there. They want them to go up here so they can charge them. And so, Bing, and then Trump said, bam. Yeah, and it was after 4 o'clock they did that when the market was closed. So they wanted to, and people are like, I can't believe they're doing it after the market closed. Listen, he's intentionally, he's strategic. What they always do.
Starting point is 01:06:10 The market to be affected by, Adam, your thoughts on this. Oil's only 70s, so the market's not really reacting this morning. Well, I'm just going to put myself in each of these people's shoes. So if I'm Iran, I have what's called pump-fake. diplomacy like you're talking about the NBA all they're doing is faking they're delaying delaying delaying and they're just basically trying to wait out Trump and they're going to try to basically see what happens in 2028 Trump wanted a nice marketing ploy this memorandum of understanding he did it I said this on the on the when we landed in D.C. When we're going to UFC I go I really
Starting point is 01:06:42 hope that Trump doesn't try to do this deal in honor of the the UFC the 250 I know you said June 14th his birthday it's because he tried to put lipstick on a pig at the end of the day they were never going to honor this. So, you know, Douglas Murray said something great. He said, you know, the IRGC is worried about the end of times. Trump is worried about midterms. So there's complete, totally different ideology here. Trump's basically trying to ease economic situation,
Starting point is 01:07:09 get the oil price lower, oil, shipping, energy markets and all that, basically deal with that. Iran is like, yeah, we're ready for the 12th Imam and ready for the 72 virgins for the end of times. How do you beat somebody who's willing to keep? kill their own people. That's the ROGC, and I wish them best of luck. Benny. Patrick, I have nothing to add at the juncture of this conversation. We can just keep going. See how that worked? Yeah, it's great. It's great. It's very easy.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Yeah. So, I mean, look, the reality of it is, the more that happens, the more it validates, that they really don't want a deal. They don't. They want to drag this thing out, and they want to continue doing that. And I don't know. I think if this continues, they may corner Trump, you think it's going to get to a point that Trump's going to actually have a heavy attack on Iran? like a heavy, heavy attack on the road? I think after the midterms, yes, I think so. By the way, I watched your conversation. You sent to me as a 45-minute conversation with Mario Nafal.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Yeah. I love the way that you basically broke that down. And yeah, at the end of the day, I think you have people who are rooting for the IRGC to win that want America to lose, that want to see America and Trump end up with egg on their face. And at the end of the day, Trump's not going to let that happen. Yeah. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:08:18 We'll see what happens there. We'll see what happens there with that story. Let me get to the next one here. Israel has decided to recognize the Armenian genocide. I don't know if you guys saw the story or not. That just came out yesterday. If you have that article to just go to on this story, there was a story that was sent to me here.
Starting point is 01:08:34 I'll just get it on my phone. There was a story that was sent to me yesterday about, is that the one, the Israel government votes to recognize Armenian genocide? If you can go a little bit lower, Turkey is guilty of genocide. The government of Israel unanimously approved foreign ministers, Gideon's Sars proposal to recognize the Armenian genocide. It's never too late to do the right thing.
Starting point is 01:08:57 He said in his statement, he announced on Thursday that he would submit the resolution on the cabinet tweeting recognizing the genocide perpetrated against the Armenian people. It was also Syrians and the Greeks. The final years of the Ottoman Empire is both a moral and historical duty. We must also firmly condemn any denial, minimization or distortion of the historical truth. the resolution will subsequently be brought before the Knesset.
Starting point is 01:09:23 And if you go a little bit lower, it says in August of 2025, B.B. For the first time publicly recognized the Armenian Genocide, asked by American podcaster Patrick by David Wai Jerusalem, has yet recognized the genocide. Netia who said, in fact, I think we have. I think the Knesset passed a resolution to the effect on August 1st, 2016, lawmakers, Knesset, education, culture, sports committee resolution that recognized the genocide, urging the government to acknowledge it as such.
Starting point is 01:09:48 If you can go a little bit lower, he says, pressed on why no prime minister has publicly characterized the World War I era events as genocide. Netanyahu said, I just did. Here you go. And happen right here by the one on the podcast. So, yeah, I know that guy. Good for them for doing this. So, Adam, your thoughts on the story.
Starting point is 01:10:03 Well, it's about time. I think... Is that it? Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. The challenge I personally have. My audience is not going to be that interested in this story except for people from my community.
Starting point is 01:10:14 You know, the Holocaust has been recognized by 193 different countries. See how long that is? Everybody around the world. And in some countries, if you deny, you can do jail time, many countries. You couldn't do jail time a year or five years. But for anybody that doesn't recognize Armenian-Assyrian genocide, if there's any country that I would have expected to be on the list that recognized the Armenian
Starting point is 01:10:37 and the Syrian and the Greek genocide, it would be Israel. Why haven't you yet recognized the Armenian-Assyrian and the Greek genocide that the Turkish did to that community? In fact, I think we have, because I think the Knesset passed a resolution to that effect. I don't know if it's come from you, though. I don't know if it's come from the Prime Minister of Israel. Yeah, I just did.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Okay. There you go. All right. Well, thank you for doing that. Okay. You can pause. So that happened, and, you know, now they're making it official. It's going to be a big deal because, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:09 what happened to them and they're now acknowledging it, which is a big deal. But go ahead, Adam. You're going to say something. Well, if I can just be as real as possible, I remember when he said that, We were sitting here in the studio. And once he said that, we went ballistic.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Like we were so happy that he acknowledged that because, look, we all have our biases and our interests. You know, it's not a secret that you're a very proud, a Syrian, Armenian, born in Iran, made in America. And when you were interviewing Beebe, you actually said, listen, I have one major interest. It actually is not Gaza. It's not America. I want to ask him that question. And you did. And he answered it.
Starting point is 01:11:44 one of the worst things that's ever happened is basically whitewashing what happened in World War I. We all are so focused on World War II. And as a Jew, as someone whose family basically had to flee the programs in Russia and ended up in Europe and then I had family die in the Holocaust, that means a lot to me. But I understand what it means to you. I remember seeing, I think you might even sent me this. The Ottoman Empire was responsible for millions and millions and millions of deaths. And nobody ever talks about it. And if that's something that happened to my people, damn right, I'd be screaming from the mountain,
Starting point is 01:12:14 saying what's going on here. Yes. Is it is it too little too late? Maybe, but it's better late than never. If you look at this, look at the Syrian flag, Benny, 10,000, 1850, 3,500, 1892, 750,000, Mesopotamia, 1915 to 1920. If you go to Armenia, Bayezat, 1870, so 1400, then 1250. Then you got Vann, 8,000, 12,000, 5640, Sassoon again, 30,000, Western Armenia, 1.5 million. Cars, 100,000, 50,000. Then you have the Greeks. Look at what you see with Greeks. 50,000, 87. There's others as well, by the way, there. So it's not like forgetting Bulgaria or any other guys.
Starting point is 01:12:55 You typically hear about Greece and Armenians and Assyrians on what happened there. So nasty set of events. You know how they say when you point, you usually have three fingers pointing back at you. Whatever the Ottoman and umpire stood for and what Erdogan stands for now, accusing Israel of genocide is like your country has taken out millions and millions of people and you don't want to acknowledge it. By the way, do you know the first U.S. president to acknowledge it? this was Joe Biden. One of the few things
Starting point is 01:13:16 he actually did that I give him credit for. But it's a tricky, tricky thing. And we have a very complicated relationship with Turkey, the former Ottoman Empire. So does Israel. But at this point, Erdogan has gone full jihadist and good for Israel for standing up for what's actually right. Yeah, good for them for doing this. Okay,
Starting point is 01:13:32 let's go to next story. Next story I want to get to is Mamdani says a socialist can win anywhere. I don't know if you guys have seen this clip or not, but this is very important because 20-28 is around the corner, midterms are around the corner, and this guy's voice is getting bigger and bigger, and he showed this weekend that he also knows how to swim in a suit, which is impressive because clothes gets wet. But here's him saying a socialist can win anywhere. Go forward. Democratic Socialists get elected president?
Starting point is 01:13:57 I think a Democratic Socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position. What I think we need to bring is a focus on working people. And that's the direction that the party should go in in in terms of selecting a candidate for 2028. I think the direction that the party should go in is how best to fight for working for working. people. I think we need to have a platform and a vision that doesn't sound as if it was cooked up by consultants, but instead one that you would say in response to someone who's asking, why can't I afford my rent, why can I afford my groceries, why can I afford my child care? We need to make clear who we stand for, how we're going to stand for them, and that we're actually willing to fight for them when the going gets tough. He's so good. You got to give him credit how good he is.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Oh, him, Gavin, Obama. It's all very. He's better than Gavin. Oh, 100%. But this is like the Manchurian candidate. And every time I hear him speak, I'm like, are people, are you guys really getting sold on this guy? I mean, it's obviously working in New York, promising all the free stuff, Pat, but is it insane? Is it insane? And it's got, Pat, it's working, Tom.
Starting point is 01:14:57 They've hijacked the party. The party has literally bent the knee. And then he's doing the rent freeze. He approved one million rent stabilized in New York as well. Yes, but I don't think that, if I can correct you on one thing, you said the party has bent the knee. I don't think so. I think what's happening in the Democrat Party is they mistook what they thought was his ability to bring a voting block.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Because remember, everything in the Democrat, if you take a look at the Democrat platform and help me, Adam, you see victims, list the victim, to find the victim and then manipulate the voting block based on the perpetuation of that victimhood. Right? And so, oh, trans. Oh, add another letter, LGBT, I, A, A, plus. Plus, right, what that is nothing more is identifying other victims. And using those to create an establishment of voting blocks that you get under what you call a big tent. What he says about consultants, he's right. The consultants are the ones that have talked about for 40 years exactly what I just said. Find the victim, find the voting block, make it a bigger tent, and go get you. And then this is why Schumer and them, they thought they were bringing over his,
Starting point is 01:16:12 voters that was going to be mostly Hispanic. Schumer's words, Schumer's words, we're bringing over mostly Hispanics that are going to be laborers. We're going to give them access to things, and it's going to perpetuate our voting block. That's what they were out to do. Well, so that they didn't bend the knee. They thought things like they honestly bid, the core DNC did not believe that Minneapolis was going to get out of hand like this. They did not believe that. Now they're looking at it too saying they don't have control. The DNC does not have control right now of Mandami and everything that goes there. That's it, man. They are the useful idiots. I said it before. I won't go in repeating, but that's what's happening. And you know what they just did? They just moved Gavin Newsom.
Starting point is 01:16:58 Yeah. I mean, the key to just smile. Just smile. Be smar me and just smile and you never know what's going to happen. The question was, can the Democratic Socialist win in America? Can you go to Can you go to what Trump said about this? Can you go to what Trump said about communism and how it's advancing and what it's doing? This guy's a brilliant marketer. You got to give it to him. But here's the president about the same issue.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Go for it. We have a country that's just the hottest. It just is so hot. We're so hot right now, Zoolander. We're going to make it even better. We're going to get rid of some of the flaws. We're going to make it even better. But the biggest thing we have to do is we have to stop
Starting point is 01:17:35 this horrible thread of cancer that's permeating our country. country called communism. We have to stop it because that's what it's about. That's what they want to do quietly. And we ask that God will continue to bless the United States of America and God will bless the United States of America because of people like you. Tom. He's right. And I am on this and I have said and I will keep saying it's not, I mentioned the Democratic Socialists. I'm describing what they do. But the underlying. effort is the eradication of the middle class to create the workers and the few elite.
Starting point is 01:18:16 That is how communism works. Socialism, communism walks in the front door. Actually, communism walks in the front door wearing a, wearing a disguise as socialism. Oh, we're here to help you. We're here to help the workers. Thank you. You've been so disenfranchile. There shouldn't be trillionaires. Can you please draw me a map of how elimination of a trillionaire gets me a better job? and a middle class life and a better wage? Can you tell me how that happens? If the voters ask that, they're going to realize they're being sold a bill of goods. He's right.
Starting point is 01:18:50 He is absolutely right. And anything but Trump that's out there is just missing the point about how right he is. They want no middle class workers right here, fully controlled by a small oligarch. Ladies and gentlemen, and there's Ali. By the way, this guy, you can say whatever you want about this guy. This guy's not going away. Yeah, I agree. He's not going away, and he's going to be a big part of the midterms and 2028.
Starting point is 01:19:15 Candidates are going to be begging him to come campaign for him. And FYI, right now, if you had to choose between having Obama show up or Mobnani show up with the momentum, I would say Mamdani's ahead right now. Oh, Mondani's ahead than Obama for endorsement from a socialist. Socialist, this to me goes more back to that movie Citizen Vigilante. I have I'm not an investor in the movie I have nothing going on but you're going to get people to a point of being so sick of it that something's going to happen
Starting point is 01:19:47 and my concern is you know every decade we have a big crisis that happens and you never know what it is like you didn't know COVID was going to happen you didn't know 9-11 was going to happen you didn't know Trump assassination attempt was going to happen you didn't know 2008 market crash
Starting point is 01:20:03 except if your name is Michael Murray you didn't know that was going to happen you didn't know a lot of this stuff that was going to happen And then all of a sudden it happens. I think as this thing goes more and more and more like this, as it goes more like this and socialism and communism starts becoming interesting topics that they want to bring up, you're going to have some people that are going to break.
Starting point is 01:20:23 You're going to have some people that are going to break in America. I think it's going to get nasty. I hope we don't get to that point. I really hope I don't. But this messaging is going to keep expanding, and they have to figure out one answer. You know what the answer to that one question is? affordability. You have to find a way to address affordability. You have to find a way to say, I don't know, no federal income tax to anybody making less than $100,000. How are we going to do that?
Starting point is 01:20:52 I don't know. But you have to figure out a way to say no federal income tax until 35 years old. Why? Get your life going. Save the money. After 35 years old, you pay federal income tax. You have to propose some ideas that the youth says, okay, I'm going to get some kind of money to do additional things. How much taxes do we collect from under 35-year-olds? I'm curious. If he asked Chad GBT right now and said, how much total tax do we collect from people under the age of 35 in America in 2025? What do you think the number is? What percentage of the tax income we get is from people under the age of 35?
Starting point is 01:21:30 I would say, I'm going to go 15%. Because I know it's low. I would say 15%. So a recent analysis from Tax Foundation estimates that taxpayers under the age of 35 amount for 11% of federal income taxes. We were right there, Tom. That's 10, 11%. So $2.1 trillion equals to about $235 billion. Dude, if you announce something to say no one under the age of 35 pays federal income tax till your 35,
Starting point is 01:21:56 like it's like a, it's like somebody that gives you a head start. You have to get these people to buy houses and have kids and that 1.58 needs to increase. and these decisions happen before 35. So if they come up with the idea before you do, they're going to get it. If they get the ideas before you do, they're going to get it. We have to figure out some kind of crazy. We've got to get some of the best economists in the house, the laughers, the old school people, people that came from the Friedman camp, the Sowell camp,
Starting point is 01:22:23 and then sit down and say, can we afford to do no federal income tax for people on the age of 35? If you're under 30, you buy a house for the first time, you don't pay taxes on the first half a million dollars, okay? and whatever, certain federal. There's got to be some creative ways to win the affordability argument. I hope they're sitting behind closed doors at the White House thinking about
Starting point is 01:22:44 what ideas to give the youth. You win the youth over now. You have their vote for 20 years. They've got to find a way to do it. So to me, the only way socialism and communism is it makes a comeback is when you don't go out there and take care of the kids. And those guys got nothing to lose.
Starting point is 01:22:58 The 50-year-olds have a lot to lose. The 60-year-olds have a lot to lose. The 40-year-olds have a lot to lose. 22-year-olds don't have a lot to lose. And what you just said, that would be they're paying $235 billion in taxes. You know where that would be? That would be in their pockets being spent in the economy. Go for it.
Starting point is 01:23:11 The money is going to come back into the economy anyways. And I would much rather the money going to the free market than these entitlement programs. Let them keep it. Under the age of 35, no taxes, keep your money, set yourself up, go buy a house, create some incentives for them. But Republicans have to pay attention to affordability. And this is going to lead to me making a big announcement here in a second about something that has to do with the state of Florida, but hang tight with that.
Starting point is 01:23:37 Those struck a nerve. And now we know through all what we found in California with a hospices and the daycare centers in Minneapolis, guess what? Doge was on track. If we could get rid of all of that and all of that graft and then turn this back over to the citizens to pay, I think we have the money, Pat. Why did it stop? Why did all the Doge, all of a sudden we just stopped doing it? It was working. We were getting back billions of dollars and then it just stop. What happened? What happened to the doge? It was doing fantastic. We know what happened. There was a relational breakdown
Starting point is 01:24:08 and then the department got canned. Washington, D.C. rejected, forget whether there was any sort of rift personality. Washington, D.C. rejected the notion of an audit over broadways and abuse. Yeah, weird. I fully agree with you
Starting point is 01:24:24 that we have to get creative on affordability and the cost of living and inflation and we have to basically galvanize the youth. to understand the importance of basically getting involved in politics. You know, they famously say you might not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. But the question, what that was,
Starting point is 01:24:41 can Democratic Socialists win at the ballot box in 2028? And I have a hard time believing that. I'll tell you why. Yes, they can win in deep blue pockets in Brooklyn and in Dumbo and in Williamsburg or in L.A. But to win a national election, you know what the one thing you have to have, you have to have American pride,
Starting point is 01:24:58 and you have to have patriotism. And the Democratic Party, the DNC, the DSA, does not love the flag. The lady that was just elected in Brooklyn just said that she wiped her dirty hands on the flag because she didn't have a napkin. At the end of the day,
Starting point is 01:25:13 we're talking about a national electorate. Two people are going to stand up on stage and say, I love America, I want to make America greater. And a deep, a deep percentage of the DSA hates America. They will do it. They will do it. Did you see what the guy yesterday said from Texas
Starting point is 01:25:30 supporting James Tolariko? I don't know if you guys saw this clip or not with the cowboy hat on, Hispanic-looking guy. Did you guys see this? So he gets up and he says, if they say that James Telerico is a trans-hating this, you know, is a trans-loving this, guess what you say? So am I. If they say James Tala-Riko is going to hell, what do you say, so am I? You guys didn't see the speech?
Starting point is 01:25:56 Oh, you have to see this speech. You have to see the speech of this clip. It is a, they're gonna say anything and everything to get them elected. This guy right here, watch us. Good find, guys. That was quick. Great work.
Starting point is 01:26:10 So can you play this clip and go for it? They say that James is trans. We're all trans. Watch. What does that even mean? When they say James is a gay tofu eating vegan, we're all gay tofu eating vegans. Wait for.
Starting point is 01:26:29 And when they say James is going, going to hell? Watch. We'll say we're all going to hell. Oh, my God. I mean, this is the Democratic Party at this point. Just play that ad. They'll say everything.
Starting point is 01:26:43 Adam, this is the one part you have to think about. Let me tell you, okay, when a mother has three kids and you're married to her, at the end of the day, even though you're the husband, guess what the mother thinks about 24-7? Her kids. Her kids. Hama bear.
Starting point is 01:26:58 So if financially you're not supporting the kids, guess what she's going to do? She's going to do something. you have to know, because her number one job is what, is to be a mom. And I understand it's like, no, you have to submit to the husband. I totally get it. Most of the time, the first thing that comes is what?
Starting point is 01:27:16 Finances. We got to get our finances in order. Do you know what happens if majority of America affordability gets worse the next 12, 24 months, and you don't have a solution? Forget about it. And you have to show the solution now. The Republican Party has to show that they're for the youth,
Starting point is 01:27:34 and they don't have an answer for them. There's a lot of people right now in the Republican Party that are causing a divide within. There's some of that. I don't know if you guys saw the clip with Alex, what's his name? That was on Tucker.
Starting point is 01:27:43 Alex Roussewitz. What's his name? Alex Brucewitt. We met him before. We met him in the UFC. He's a great guy. So if you want to play this clip, Alex was on Tucker.
Starting point is 01:27:52 And I think he was one of the guests that pushed a little bit back on the Israel topic. If you have that clip, I don't see anything on the screen here, guys, I see Black. But this isn't the one. It's the other one that shows both.
Starting point is 01:28:03 You know which one I'm talking? talking about. It's the one that shows both. Is this the one that shows both clips? This is the one. Play this clip. Go forward. Watch this. You were on a podcast yesterday. He said you think Israel killed Charlie Kirk. I did not say that. What was it not say that? What was the clip that? I said, I've never said that. Charlie Kirk was murdered. Yeah. And he was not murdered for his opinions on transgenderism, obviously. He was, I believe, and most people who knew him well as I did and was friends of them as I was believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel. I've never said that. Okay. I know a lot of people, including in the Trump administration,
Starting point is 01:28:43 who think that, however, there's no proof of that. He was, I believe, and most people who knew him well as I did. So some of this, you know what this is doing? Like, I think this is noise. I think Tucker's playing with people. And I think Tucker wants to run or get behind somebody in 2020. That's okay. That's his motive. We're going to find, it takes a lot of it. It takes a a minute to learn people's motives. By the way, you know what's a great thing about life? You know, let's just say you don't like me. Let's just say some of you guys, like 10% the audience that watches his podcast, say you hate us. Like screw Pat. Let me tell you, you know, he got destroyed. He got this. I hate him. He's this. He's Islam. Say you're part of that camp.
Starting point is 01:29:23 Okay, great. And you have that opinion. You have the right to that opinion. You know when you're really going to realize who I am, you're going to learn next 10, 20 years. It takes a minute to learn motives. Because in your mind, you're going to create something. Oh, they're trying to do this. You'll find that in 10 to 20 years. It's going to take a minute. And some of us get fooled for a year or two or three years. And I'm like, oh, got it. We don't know what the guy's motive is. Okay, what he's doing. The Republican Party is a little bit confused right now, the youth that's watching all these different voices. You know what the youth need? They need a stable voice of who to listen to. They're the easiest to gaslight. They're the easiest to rage bait. They're the easiest
Starting point is 01:30:01 to confuse. They're the easiest to pin against each other. They're the easiest to, you know, go out there. But the reality of it is, if you're my kid, if I'm watching somebody right now, somebody's 18 years old, 19 years old, and their mindset is consumed too much of a politics, one of my favorite podcasts I did this year was with this Australian economist called Steve Keen. And let me tell you why. The first 30 minutes, at any point we were going to cancel the podcast, he or me, it was so heated. It was so heated. He was so heated. He was so. He was so. upset that I said anything bad about car marks and communism. You should have seen how we debated it.
Starting point is 01:30:37 Really? But let me tell you what happened. Eventually we came around and we had some fun and ended good, right? And what was interesting thing about this, Vinny, was the following. I said, would you consider yourself a pessimist or an optimist? He says, I'm a pessimist. You know why? I said, why?
Starting point is 01:30:53 He says, because I know the fact. I said, really? You know the fact? I said, could there be a possibility that you're wrong? He says, no, I have fact. I know what's going to happen with climate change. I said, man, what is it with you? Like, did a American girl break your heart?
Starting point is 01:31:06 He says, it's funny you say that my second wife was an American singer. I said, how long were you guys to get? He says, that's two years. Been married three times. So do you have any kids? No. If you were 25 years old right now, would you have a kid? Absolutely not, because I know what's going to happen with climate change.
Starting point is 01:31:18 So he goes into the climate change argument. I said, when were you an optimist? Vinny, watch this, Vinny. Parents pay attention to the story. I said, when were you an optimist? He says, I'll tell you, I used to be an optimist. I said, what changed? He says, I wanted to be a professional tennis player.
Starting point is 01:31:33 He said, I used to train 20 hours a week playing tennis. I said, what happened? He said, then at 20 years old at college, I was invited to a leftist event. And I was introduced to the book Das Capital by Karl Marx. And he said, I didn't just read one book. I studied everything Karl Marx ever wrote. And he's the most brilliant economist of our lifetime.
Starting point is 01:31:51 He says this. Carl Marx. I said, so what happened when you went to that leftist group? He says, well, the only regret I have is I stopped watching, I stopped watching and practice in tennis 20 hours a week. I stopped doing any of that stuff. And for me, it led to not playing tennis and I was involved in politics.
Starting point is 01:32:08 I said, from there you became a pessimist? He says, right after me going to that meeting, I became a pessimist. One meeting. One meeting. He says, because I got the facts. What he's telling you, he thinks he's right. I said, man, do you regret that you lost decades of your life
Starting point is 01:32:22 being a pessimist? He says, no, not at all. Not at all. I'm glad I went to that meeting. It changed my life because I got the fact. he's 73, 74 years old, Vinny, at this point. When you looked into his eyes, there's an incredible judging character, Pat,
Starting point is 01:32:34 when he said he had no regrets, did you believe him? No, I didn't believe him. No, actually deep down the seven, I looked at him. You know what I saw? I saw a fun guy, inside, cool guy that was an athlete, but then the leftist ideas got a hold of him. Vinny, that virus is worse than AIDS.
Starting point is 01:32:53 That virus is worse than a lot of these viruses. It's worse than COVID. when these ideas get into your soul, what's my thoughts? If you're under 25 years old, you know how much of your time you should consume watching political videos? Less than 5%. You should watch Dan Martel.
Starting point is 01:33:09 You should watch Alex Hermose. You should watch Cody Sanchez. You should watch Valuetainment business content. You should watch Mr. Beast's interviews, not his clips, his interviews. Brilliant. You should watch these guys that are advancing in business.
Starting point is 01:33:29 You should watch Billy Graham nonstop on repeat. Your heart should have a tender heart. Some grace. Toughness, but some grace. You should watch these business strategies to get your economy straight. That's what you should watch.
Starting point is 01:33:43 Then when you're above 35, above 30 years old, start paying attention to politics a little bit more. It's become a little too cool for young kids to pay too much attention to politics and their finances sucks. Get your finances straight first. Learn how to get your financial situation in the right place.
Starting point is 01:33:59 Like a portfolio of what things you should consume. Some people are consuming 40, 50% of politics right now. Get it down to less than 5%. I'm even okay if you get it down to 1%. And you replace it with business content, with health help content. You're going to be better off with your mindset being consumed there. So to me, as I'm seeing this going on, Adam,
Starting point is 01:34:19 and we're bringing up you're not thinking socialism's going to happen. Mamdani's too attractive. AOC is attractive. she's young, she's attractive, and her ideas are very attractive to the youth. If you don't, as the Republican Party, fix, and it's not hard to fix, I can, by the way, if I have an hour with the administration and we get some of the things in the room together, we'll come up with 12 ideas, you pick and choose which ones you want to run with, which ones you don't. But it's not a hard problem to fix. We can fix it, and you'll get them for 20 years.
Starting point is 01:34:50 You will get them for 20 years. And the economy may even be better for everybody. We need people having kids and being more focused on their careers. We don't have that today. That's going to be an issue for the Republican Party, I think, the next 24 months. I don't think it's something that you can take lighty and just be like, I don't think so. I don't think socialism's going to be impactful. The guy's charming. The guy's charismatic.
Starting point is 01:35:09 The guy's a great communicator. You've got to give him credit. He's super formidable. Super formidable. Super formidable. This is not a once in a decade type of a talent. This is a once in a lifetime type of talent, just like Trump was, just like Obama was, just like Clinton ones. They don't come around that often. When they come around, you have to know changes coming
Starting point is 01:35:27 around the corner. The only difference is he's never done anything in his life. Trump has built businesses and buildings. People will fall for it. If that kid, if that Steve Keen, when he was 20 years old, gave up his dream of being a professional tennis player, just because of some leftist ideologies took his life for 53 years. That can happen with anybody. That risk is worth realizing that we have to move a little bit more urgently. What I think the challenge is, by the way, I fully agree with you. I understand that it's an attractive thing. I think men are going to realize that the Democratic Party is doing nothing for them.
Starting point is 01:35:59 I think that the challenge is convincing women to stop just basically voting abortion first and actually want to have some kids. That's the biggest problem, is that the Democratic messaging, most straight men do not fall for this. We see that black men are like, dude, I'm on Trump team now. It's women who are falling for this because they don't want to build businesses. They don't want to basically live the American dream. They want to basically live off the government. Adam, I am less concerned about the women, what they're going to do,
Starting point is 01:36:27 because I know where they're going to be, where they're going to be. Women need men to lead them. I fully agree. And if men are not making money, if they're not having jobs, if they don't feel good about themselves, they're not confident, they're not men, they're boys. We got to get boys to become men. We got to listen a little bit more to a river, water runs dry.
Starting point is 01:36:46 We got to listen to, we don't even talk anymore. We got to, we got to go turn these boys to men. What we got to do. That's got to make a comeback. Anyways, let me get to the next word. Down on Bended Knee, Pat. Yeah, we're talking about down on bended knees. There's a commercial came out called HelloFresh.
Starting point is 01:36:59 Here we go. You want to talk about down on Bended Knees? So tell us about this Hello Fresh commercial and what this company thought was a good idea to do. They posted something on their Instagram. Guys, by the way, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. But Vinny, kids, Earmuffs, parents, kids can't watch the next five minutes. And I want people to pay attention for you guys to know Hello Fresh.
Starting point is 01:37:16 It's a food delivery service, meals and all that type of stuff. They put out a statement, basically tell. telling gay men how to prepare an earmuffs for the kids for anal sex. They wrote, uh, we know eating isn't always top priority this month. Do you know what that means? We know that you're not,
Starting point is 01:37:32 if you're in that community, you don't want to eat that much, Pat, because you don't want that much food in your stomach because you know what's going to happen. They say, we respect that. But for those of you who are dot, dot, dot, dot, uh,
Starting point is 01:37:44 I'd have to look this up, Pat. Uh, do you guys know what priority, uh, prepping is? No. In context, prepping means cleaning out your body. before guys do their business with guys. Stop it. And that's why they're promoting.
Starting point is 01:37:57 Ready for the next line? We have an extensive lineup. Viti stop. Pat, you, I'm gonna show you something different. Recipes available, happy pride, okay? Let's just, I'm not being, you should see, hear the comments and then go back to that. So Pat, ready for this? Somebody put bottoms up as the Pride discount code.
Starting point is 01:38:15 Hello Fresh's official account responded saying that, use Bottoms Up for a Pride month this. Okay, so now it's... So, okay, by the way, this is the same company, just FY, if you guys don't remember, 2004, the Department of Labor investigated them for migrant children working at one of their package facilities. Put that aside. But this is, this is Hello Fresh,
Starting point is 01:38:35 a food delivery company saying, hey, we know you guys aren't eating that much gay men this month because you got, we know that you're having sex, okay? So we respect you for that. So before... Let me ask this. That is disgusting. But here's a part that I may not have a...
Starting point is 01:38:49 And I don't, I've never heard of Hello Fresh. it may be a big company. Is Hello Fresh only a gay delivery company? No, no, not at all. You know that? I know that for a fact, Pat. The owner is a German guy, and there's two other people, CEO. It's a public company now, but look up CEO of HelloFresh.
Starting point is 01:39:07 Maybe HelloFresh is only delivers to gay people. No, not at all. German multinational. Based on this, you better start boyconing them and they're only going to have a gay client. 7.1 million active customers worldwide as of 2022. And so areas served of. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States, Western? No, no, no. This is not a gay...
Starting point is 01:39:25 Okay. So, to go back to this campaign, was this a 19-year-old girl that's in college or fresh out of college, a 22-year-old girl that came up with this campaign that Hello Fresh didn't support? Or is this coming from the top? Like, have they made an apology statement? No, go to their Instagram. If you can, Conner, go to their actual Instagram page and go to this post.
Starting point is 01:39:42 No, no, no, no, Pat. They're not... They were in the comments saying, we love it. Like, cook. Cook in the comments, okay? And here's my thing while he's looking it up. I don't care what they do in their personal life It's that 13 year old or whatever
Starting point is 01:39:54 Go to their keep going look at this No, they're doubling down Go up up up up I'm sorry go down to Connor Keep going keep going down Hello fresh boom that's their Eating is not a priority blah blah blah And go into their comments
Starting point is 01:40:06 Go to go to the actual post left No no right there right there right there right there Yeah and then in the no their promo bombs up No no they're not anti any of this pat And then go to the other one that had the comments on it Connor it's the next one they actually posted the photos on it the one that I sent
Starting point is 01:40:24 but here's the thing I don't care who owns Hello Fresh or whatever in their personal life pat this is a meal kit company and you're turning marketing into a message about again anal sex okay you're supposed to be selling chicken parmesan
Starting point is 01:40:38 not promoting this type of sexual act okay families buy your product kids see your social media kids are on social media pat this isn't edgy it's disgusting okay sell food and stop shoving sexualized marketing. I wonder how the market reacts to this. If they care or if they don't care.
Starting point is 01:40:56 That's what I see. Well, that's disgusting. I mean, it's still disgusting. The company has the right to do this. This is a weird campaign, and it's a reach to go there. It's what Budweiser did with the whole Dillam Mulvaney and all this stuff. And they took how big of a hit that they take from that? Or Jaguar.
Starting point is 01:41:12 That they didn't sell any of their cars. The best commercial of Jaguar I saw is you. It wasn't even what they did. So bad things can happen to people when they come up with terrible ideas. You know, Budweiser and Heiser-Busch lost billions because of Dillam-Malvaney. So they can fool around with this. I guess Hello Fresh still hasn't gone there, you know, the message that this doesn't work. It's a big turnoff.
Starting point is 01:41:35 And honestly, I don't want to give the story too much time. I don't want to go to the next story. Okay. Next one I want to get to is what I'd actually like to talk about. Texas wants to make Bible passages cool again. Okay. This is page 12. Good for Texas.
Starting point is 01:41:48 on what they want to do. So here we go. Texas Education Board votes to make Bible passages require reading. Is this the clip that you have there if you want to play it? Go for it. Go ahead. Millions of public school students in Texas will soon be required to read Bible passages along with classic works of literature and historic documents like the Declaration of Independence.
Starting point is 01:42:11 The new reading list approved by the Texas State Board of Education is set to begin in 2030 and also includes Bible stories and picture books like Noah's Ark and the stories of Exodus and Adam and Eve for older students. It follows last year's required posting of the Ten Commandments, a move recently upheld in federal court. The Education Board, which is controlled by Republicans, voted to pass a new required reading list on Friday. Vote 9 to 5 to 1. The list for required literature includes sections of the book Exodus, 5th graders, 4 fifth graders, Shepard Palm, Psalm for 7th graders and more. board education board discussions about the required reading list took place on
Starting point is 01:42:48 Friday morning and touched on issues related to the implementation timeline and question of teachers autonomy and deciding which works should be required reading and they added a couple other things to it approved required reading list including E.B. White, Shell Silverstein, Aesop, Kurt Wanagot, and a few other names. So Tom, why is this a big deal? Why is the big story? Well, this is a big deal because something you just read in there is what was hiding. So teachers most of the time in public schools, I don't know the percent nationwide, are in unions.
Starting point is 01:43:20 And the unions are there because, hey, we're going to get you a better wage. We're going to get you benefits. We're going to get you, you know, better pension and all that. And so what you just read hiding in their path, teachers' autonomy. The unions want teachers to have autonomy so they could rebel and they can inject things they want to. The school board is saying, no, we will set the curriculum.
Starting point is 01:43:44 curriculum, you as an employee, unionized or not, your job is to teach what we select. You work for us. You're not a political activist in the classroom. That is the stance of Texas. And Texas, last year, pushed it all the way to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Ten Commandments. As of September of last year, to start the school year, last year 2025, so we're getting close to it. that report correctly pointed out that the Ten Commandments are there. Because guess what? Teachers' unions and teachers looked at the Ten Commandments, and they say, no, wait a minute, wait a minute. There's really two parts of Ten Commandments.
Starting point is 01:44:27 One part says you won't commit adultery, steal, covet, lie, or kill. Hmm, there's a bunch of things in there that are probably pretty good for citizens not to do. And then, wait, the one in the middle is honor your mother and father. wait a minute, what's so religious or upsetting about honor your mom and dad, don't kill, don't skill, don't lie, and then, of course, there's no other God before me, don't make any idols, don't use my name in vain, and keep the Sabbath, which is they reviewed that as basically Jewish history, because it was a book of Exodus when Moses came up Mount Sinai. And remember when Moses came off Mount Sinai, remember what he said. I got the guy down to 10, but adultery is still in there.
Starting point is 01:45:05 So it's like, that was. So in Texas, they got that on the wall because they recognize half of the Ten Commandments really was about good citizenry. Now they're coming out and saying there are some stories and there are some other things which we think are also historically relevant and culturally appropriate to build a strong, god-faring populace. And I want to read this because it's important two different sides on what they say. Julie Pickren, a Republican member of the Texas Education Board, set the following to the Tribune, said when, students engage directly with original writing, speech, sermons, and foundational texts, they can evaluate ideas and develop a deeper understanding of the principles that have shaped the USA and the taxes.
Starting point is 01:45:47 Okay, great. Now, the complete opposite board member, Evelyn Brooks, was outspoken about this during the hearing, and she said, this is unconstitutional. She said, teachers need to have their autonomy, the word you just used, Tom. They've been selecting books for decades for years. This is nothing new. This is not a new concept to teachers. We are simply giving them a mandated list.
Starting point is 01:46:07 which I believe is unconstitutional, but regardless of what I believe in, let's not take their autonomy away. That is the union word autonomy, because if you give one teacher autonomy, Pat, then what does it matter if you are the chairman of the school board for public schools, the state of Texas? One teacher could decide, hey, you know what, screw all this stuff. We're going to have this book on this, this book on that, and disrupt it. The liberals want the ability for one teacher to have the ability. not. Absolutely not. No, who's paying you? Who's paying you? So who are you? Go start your own school and teach whatever you want and make your own money till that day. Whoever pays you dictates the terms. Tom, Adam, thoughts. Look, I firmly believe that having more God in your life is a good thing.
Starting point is 01:46:53 I think having the Bible, the basic of the moral foundation, the cultural foundation of our country should not be shunned. It should be embraced. I think our schools have to get back to doing education, not indoctrination. How many gay books have we seen? come across our desk here. Gender queer. This book is gay, a little on the nose right there. All boys aren't blue. All these books out there that are read in school.
Starting point is 01:47:15 Yet the Ten Commandments in the Bible is a problem? Not on my watch. At the end of the day, I think we need a return to God. I think Judeo-Christian values. And the end of the day, pledge of allegiance. I was shocked to hear that the Pledge of Allegiance is not said in all schools these days. I thought it was completely mandatory.
Starting point is 01:47:30 It's discretionary. The Pledge of Allegiance, one nation under God, let's return back to that. Let's return to normalcy. Let's get God back in our lives and this wokeness out of our lives. Benny. I think it's a great move. How many decades we took God?
Starting point is 01:47:44 If you think about the pattern, Tom, when they took God and the Ten Commandments and just knowing about the Bible in schools, what happened? The decline. Have you seen what's happening in these schools? Like honestly, the insanity, the people just, it's lawlessness. The amount of videos that I see about people that are just insane in school. and then we wonder why kids grow up with no moral foundation. 72 genders, Adam, you ask that that's what you're,
Starting point is 01:48:10 that's what you're teaching the children in school. It should be that. Look, we believe that the children is the future. We know that. Well, maybe teaching them about honesty and forgiveness and personal responsibility and love. We were found, like you said, bro, Christian. This is a Christian nation. Our founding fathers were Christians.
Starting point is 01:48:27 And I, Pat, I'm a huge fan of it. I don't think forcing anybody, but you could let them know about the greatest book in the history of books. There's no, when people say this book, this book is my favorite self-help book. The Bible is the best self-help book, period, end of story. Yeah, you know, I like any time, you know, you're introduced to the principles that are taught from the Bible. Those values make the area a better place. They help the kids out.
Starting point is 01:48:54 They teach the right values and principles. And I'm all forward. And by the way, it was one of the reasons why it was hard for us to leave Texas. Because the Texas Southern hospitality is something else. else. When you live in Texas, you know. Now, don't get me wrong, Florida has that as well. We live in a place where I can sell Florida all day long. When we came here, one of the things that was different in Florida than it was in Texas, you know the vaccine mandates? I thought in Texas you didn't have to get the vaccines. But our kids were going to private school and one day the
Starting point is 01:49:23 school asked for a vaccine card. I said, what do you mean a vaccine card? Jennifer's like, yeah, vaccine card. That's the day when middle of the night, I call RFK, he gets on a call, calls the board. He says, yep, that's kind of how it is in Texas. You know what Florida was? What? You choose. What do you want to do? No problem. No questions asked.
Starting point is 01:49:38 Great. Great. And one of the doctors is like, oh, if you don't, we don't see clients that don't want to take the vaccine. Jennifer's like, no problem. We went to the next doctor. The doctor's like, you just tell me what you want to do. You're the mom. Yeah, we don't want to take this, this, this.
Starting point is 01:49:50 Okay, no problem. And what is the name they call it, Tom, that you waive it as a parent, religious exemption. I think it's a religious exemption. And boom, no problem. So that's the part about Florida. But Texas Southern hospitality, faith and values, being. where it's at. I love that they got this going on.
Starting point is 01:50:08 Let me get into the next story. Do you guys know what happens to Idaho officially July 1st? No. In one day? Have you guys heard about what Idaho is going to be doing effective July 1st? Let's hear it.
Starting point is 01:50:17 Idaho. As of July 1st. Which is tomorrow, yeah? Which is two days. Oh, sorry. Day is 29. Effective July 1st. And Idaho law allows prosecutors
Starting point is 01:50:28 to seek the death penalty for certain convictions involving sexual abuse of children 12 years or younger, it's not an automatic death sentence for every child rep conviction. However, Idaho passed a law making the firing squad the state's primary method of execution beginning July 1st of 2026. Wow. Making it the first state to designate the firing squad as the default execution method.
Starting point is 01:51:00 Wow. This is Idaho. Wow. Okay. Idaho. The firing squad. People convicted of certain extreme offenses can face the state's harshest penalty
Starting point is 01:51:08 using a method that does not depend on medical drugs or supplies. The legislation passed Idaho's House Bill 37 and 380 authorizes the use of the firing squad as a method of execution in cases where other means are unavailable or legally challenged. It represents a shift in how the state approaches capital punishment driven in part by ongoing difficulties that many states have faced
Starting point is 01:51:28 in obtaining the drugs required for lethal injection protocols. joins a small number of states that have turned to the firing squad as an alternative of method. Proponents described as more reliable and less dependent on pharmaceutical supply chains and which critics argue raise its own serious legal and ethical questions. The law takes into effect July 1st of 2026. How do you feel about it, Tom? I love this, you know, because deterrent is where it starts. Do I want to see a bunch of public executions like this?
Starting point is 01:51:57 No, I don't. But do I want to see a deterrent? Do I want to see sensibleness? You know, Vinnie, you're going to love this. This is some funny math. Only 8% of the adult population has a concealed carry permit in Idaho. What's the percentage? 8%.
Starting point is 01:52:13 But 60% of households have guns. You want to why? Because it's a constitutional concealed carry state, which means if you're in good standing and you're not a felon in anything, then you can carry. Which is why Idaho has the lowest ATM muggings in the state. the nation. Oh, weird.
Starting point is 01:52:31 Because there's a 60% chance that someone's going to turn around and say, that's my wallet, asshole. Bang. Hey. And going to air your ass out. So that's it. And so now what you're getting, and by the way, Idaho also, Pat has reciprocity. If you have a concealed carry permit issued in another state, you can come to Idaho and they
Starting point is 01:52:53 will recognize it if you're vacationing or something, or people with RVs often have weapons to protect themselves in evenings. And I think Idaho is showing the nation how they feel about the strenuousness of the law that should be up on this particular crime. And the backdrop I'm giving you, if they have been a very, by way, you don't read about Idaho leading the league in murders. You don't read about Idaho leading the league in riots because you've got an armed populace. and it keeps itself in check with the Second Amendment,
Starting point is 01:53:31 and now they're coming up and saying this, this is how valuable. I don't say how terrible is the firing squad. Idaho is saying this is how viable we feel our precious children. By the way, you know what question I just asked? I ask this question, because what I want to know is, is it going to be public? Because they say public execution.
Starting point is 01:53:50 They say no public or televised executions. Idaho's firing squad procedures limit viewing to a small group of official witnesses is victims family, condemned family, and up to four selected media representative, the event that's not open to the general public or broadcast on TV, and recording on social media is prohibited. Rules explicitly ban filming, taping, recording, broadcasting, or using camera, phones, electronic devices inside the execution area, violators face removal and potential legal consequences. Media access is restricted, approved journalists can observe and report details, but must follow strict protocols with no personnel recording allowed post-execution briefings provide official information
Starting point is 01:54:31 instead of live clips. What is a post-execution briefing? So the gentleman was standing there the shot where his left leg gave up first and what are going to do? I think what the broadcasting of the right over saying? And it goes for the birdie. Dear Canadian exporters, our ambitions, our ideas and our potential were never meant to be boxed in.

They're saying is, you always say that your favorite... It's kind of weird how you do it. You always said that your favorite part of the game is not the game itself. It's the post-game interviews.
Starting point is 01:55:23 This is what's going on with this. What I think, like, I think we need to take it to a whole different level. Yeah. I think you need to show it is what I think you need to do. You know why? Because in my opinion, I think you need to show it to scare the crap out of the other guy to say, oh my God, there's no way I'm going to do that. Because more is caught than taught. More is caught than taught in public execution.
Starting point is 01:55:44 There you can talk about it all you want. There's a theme for today's show. This is all Army Hammer and Ubi Bowles' fault. Well, this is what I was going with. We talked about the vigilante justice and the movie that you want everybody to watch Citizen Vigilante. This is what's called institutional justice,
Starting point is 01:56:01 vigilante justice meets in Idaho. Idaho is basically saying, we're done playing these games. If you're going to break the law and you're going to be a habitual lawbreaker and do the things that basically constitute capital punishment, we're going to basically show the world
Starting point is 01:56:16 what you've done wrong. So this is the opposite of taking justice in your own hands. This is basically trusting in the government to do what's right. and instilling justice. And by the way, I'd like to nominate some people from the firing squad. Maybe some members of the squad want to volunteer to show up and basically put in the first rounds of work, if you know what I mean.
Starting point is 01:56:36 That's a joke. The word that Tom used is deterrent. When you go to the target over here in Fort Lauderdale, they have a cop car with the lights on there. No cop is there at him, but the car is there and the lights are on. And it, like, by that, because I want to steal every day. I drive by and I'm like, bro. I'm joking.
Starting point is 01:56:53 But it makes people... It makes people go, you know what? I'm not even going to think about going there because a person that's driving by or walk at him goes, there's a cop there. I'm not going to do it. I love the word deterrent, Tom, because it's making people think twice. Okay, we're like this. We're serious about our children.
Starting point is 01:57:09 You already know what the Bible says about harming them and what God says that should happen to you if you harm any of these little ones or cause any of them to stumble. So I think putting it out there and showing people like, listen, you do... This is what you have in store. And in regard to the firing squads, Tom, correct me if I'm wrong. You know what I think it is, Pat, everyone. And by the police are going to be the ones doing it. Cops on the force are going to do it.
Starting point is 01:57:31 And I think that they put, let's say there's six shooters at them, all of them get a bullet. Only one of them has an actual bullet in it. One has a bullet, maybe two. The rest are blanks because so it doesn't have the person that goes, okay, I'm the one that shot and killed someone. Just so, like, doesn't make somebody lose their mind and have a clear conscience. But again, put it out there. Don't mess with children or else they're coming for you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:56 By the way, David Harris just posted something right now if you go on his Instagram account about what just happened in Ireland. And I'm telling you guys, you're going to see this everywhere. In Ireland, a group of people took it upon themselves. Armed citizens groups are forming to target those seen as enablers of the so-called Islamic invasion. Uh-oh. Go a little bit... No, go back to his account.
Starting point is 01:58:21 We don't need to see these girls. Go back to his account. I'm Connor. David Harris. Go back to his account. And right there. Second one, go a little bit lower, lower, lower. I'll let you know.
Starting point is 01:58:31 Keep going. You've got to keep going. You've got to keep going. Keep going. It'll be on the left. Keep going. Right there, top right. Top right.
Starting point is 01:58:37 That picture right there. Click on that. You're going to see this everywhere. This happened in Italy. One Muslim man was out playing with him. I don't know if you saw that one. he was showed his dangle ink
Starting point is 01:58:52 and he was playing with at the beach Oh they beat the hell out of them They beat the hell out of them Everybody got involved I think people are going to take it upon themselves If the If the government doesn't do anything
Starting point is 01:59:03 You're going to see this happening Everywhere And do you see this picture here? Look what they're not shown They're not showing their faces Of course You're going to see this happening Around Europe everywhere
Starting point is 01:59:13 And if they try to bring you to America To do it We have something called a Second Amendment Yeah, good luck. You know what will happen here? Oh, forget it. And in most of these countries, they don't even have a Second Amendment. Let alone think about it in America if you try to do it.
Starting point is 01:59:26 Let alone think about if they do it in America, you know, what will happen. So anyways, we'll see. We'll see what it happened. Gang, again, reminder to everybody on July 1st. This is the last chance fathers. Let's do this together. I have a lot of stuff I want to share with you guys. A bunch of different items that we'll be talking about July 1st, 6 p.m.

Starting point is 02:00:16 We live in the state of Florida. And everybody's been wanting to have a debate take place. I've spoken all the top four candidates in the state of Florida, including Byron Donald's. We've had multiple calls together. Byron Donald's at 55%. However, all the other candidates, I spoke to James Fishback, spoke to Jay Collins this morning, spoke to Fishback this morning,
Starting point is 02:00:36 spoke to Paul Renner, the Speaker of the House for the state of Florida. This Thursday, we are hosting the first Florida gubernatorial debate at 6 p.m. live where Floridians, you'll be able to see it on PPD podcast. So if you want to play this clip, go forward. Florida, 6 p.m. on Thursday night, the debate. Go ahead.
Starting point is 02:01:01 The way we get closer to the truth is when ideas clash. I want to be very clear. We are going to institute a 50% only fans syntax here in Florida. Let's have a real debate by Redonalds. You're a coward. You're a DEI
Starting point is 02:01:16 hire. You didn't earn crap. Competition drives excellence, right? And I have a real competition problem. I want Florida to lead. Why in God's green earth? Are you afraid to debate? There's my participation trophy. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 02:01:33 This. Yeah, there should be a debate. They have no authority to control debates. I'm not afraid to go talk in front of anybody and draw contracts where necessary. The voters want a debate. They deserve a debate. And it's disrespectful to them not to have. I think in this world of communication, there's a different way to fight and deliver your message,
Starting point is 02:01:56 yet stand your ground, but at the same time, maintain a relationship with the other individual. It's going to be spicy. Look at that. It's going to be spicy. July 2nd, Thursday, debate 6 p.m. with James Fishback, Jay Collins, and Paul Renner. And one of these guys got to get to double digits before Byron Donald's show.

Starting point is 02:02:19 He's got to get to double digits. Someone's got to get to double digits. Oh, so what did Byron say exactly? Byron said if one person gets to double digits, 11% I'll debate him. So they got some work that I think, what's the current data? I think fishbacks at 8% Collins is at 5 and 6
Starting point is 02:02:30 and renters right behind them as well. So doors open. It's members only. If you're not a member, go to boardroom cigar lounge to be a member yourself and everybody goes through background checks. There's going to be security cops, sheriffs.
