Starting point is 00:00:00 There's a reason why Joe Rogan is the goat of podcasting. So, hear me out. Number one, he's super likable, super likable. Like, it's unbelievable how likable he is. He's sincere, he's authentic, he's straight up, but here's also the other part, okay. He draws in the audience of UFC. How many guys love it when Joe Rogan reacts
Starting point is 00:00:21 when a guy gets knocked out? Oh my God, you know, it's like, we can't wait to see that. And then the meme, he's interviewing everybody with the mic in the face after whatever happens. He's right. It's awesome, right? These Joe Rogan memes. Yeah, that picture right there. It's sick.
Starting point is 00:00:35 It's awesome. So Joe can talk on the topics of UFC. Now watch this. Can Joe talk on the topics of weed? Today, it's not a big deal. 10 years ago, a big deal. Can Joe speak on the topics of weed today? It's not a big deal 10 years ago a big deal Can Joe speak on basketball? No, can Joe speak on football? It's not as special Can he speak on guns? Can he speak on hunting? Can he speak on space? Can he speak on Iowasca?
Starting point is 00:00:55 Can he speak on was that can he can speak on comedy? He can speak on acting He was in Hollywood. He was an actor. He was a working actor There's so many different to John Russ that he can have the conversation with, so he's multi-dimensional. He's got range. He's got a lot of range on where he can go to, and he knows where he can. So if he can't, he brings a guy, and he's one of the best interviews in the world. So guess what? He knows how to get intel out of somebody. That's not his space. That's a strength. Watch this. 2016 2016 when Trump won, what did he have? He had Twitter, he had Facebook, he had YouTube, he had Fox, he had CNN,
Starting point is 00:01:34 he had mainstream, he had everybody. Everybody wanted to give him the platform because they knew if he was there, they're going to get what? Millions of eyeballs. Okay, he hasn't tweeted yet. His first tweet will be the most like tweet ever, but he hasn't tweeted yet. He's still doing truth social because he's driving the value of that company. He can't do that strategy long. Facebook is back, Instagram is back.
Starting point is 00:01:56 He's gonna have to use those things. If Fox is not platforming him regularly, if he's not going after them and Fox, quite frankly, doesn't care. Doesn't act like they care right now. Who else does he have? Because you need someone from mainstream, you need someone from social media, you need someone from business, Schwartzman is now saying they're going to
Starting point is 00:02:14 support the Santis and Schwartzman was maybe that's the part that he can't, yeah, he can't, you can't lose those things. So by the way, I'll give you guys another crazy number here. Do you know how much since Trump announced his candidacy? He announced it in November. Right? When did he announce that he announced the late October that he's running for office? What was it when he announced when he's running that time? Was it late October? In 2022, from the moment he announced that he's running for office, he raised $9.6 million in 2022 alone. Now to
Starting point is 00:02:44 be fair, he didn't campaign at all. So it's not like he was campaigning. He just raised $9.6 million. Do you know how much Ron raised just running for governor in 2022? Do you guys know the number? $211 million. One state governor.
Starting point is 00:03:01 That's real money. Say whatever you want to say. This guy's getting $2.5 Say whatever you want to say. This guy is getting $2.5 million checks right now to support him. So why do you think that is though? But the point, all I'm saying to you is, you know, the art of raising money is something not a lot of people can do. If you raise a million, raise mayor is what?
Starting point is 00:03:23 Mayor, you need like a, you you know depending on the city you are Congress you know some of the cities in Atlanta Georgia that were fighting the budgets were like hundred million fifty million Remember that how big it got for some of these cities But if you're raising 210 Jeb Bush had the last name of Bush. He was a two-term governor when he ran for president He raised only 140 for president. And his father's a president. His grandfather's, I mean, his brother's a president.
Starting point is 00:03:52 His grandfather was Senator Prescott. You started with 140. Bro, the santa's raised 210. 0.9. You have to pay attention to this part and people vote with their money. Every time you want to know how we vote, the way people go vote at Starbucks versus what he call it, coffee bean, you're voting with your money.
Starting point is 00:04:12 If you go by Ford over Chrysler, that's a form of a vote that we're putting in place. So now, this doesn't mean anything if Trump starts doing his rallies and he starts creating momentum and he goes on Twitter and he starts being active on Facebook and Instagram He's capable of raising the money now some will say what the difference is what who needs the money who doesn't need the money Who doesn't need the money? Trump doesn't need the money the Santa's needs to raise the money So that's the part where he's like well, unlike him. I don't need people's money He's bought.
Starting point is 00:04:45 That's what Trump's going to say. Trump's going to come and say, because that's his position. He's going to say, well, yeah, of course, he's raised that kind of money. You know who's given them the money? This person, that person, this person, that person, this person, he's the institution. He's the establishment. He has to do all these favors for them. So you just have to know this is what we're going to be hearing the next 12, 18 months
Starting point is 00:05:02 then going back and forth. And the votes, the American people are going to make a decision and they're going to say, I'm going to go this way or that way. But I think if you think it's ugly right now, by the way, I'm telling you this is less than 1% of ugly. We're not even at 10% of ugly. It's going to get ugly. The moment the census announces he's running, Trump's going to take out his torpedo, he's going to get ugly. The moment the Santos announces he's running,
Starting point is 00:05:25 Trump's going to take out his torpedo, he's going to take out his ship. Let's go guns blazing. Go ahead. I think something to consider is, you talked about establishment, is that... So we all remember when Bernie and Hillary in 2016... Was it 2016?
Starting point is 00:05:43 And, yeah, it was 2016. And then Bernie was in in 2016, was it 2016? Yeah, it was 2016. And then Bernie was in the lead and then all of a sudden, the Democratic establishment, DNC. Basically, the DNC was like Bernie, thanks for everything, but we're gonna give it to Hillary. I don't think that we're giving a lot of thought
Starting point is 00:06:04 to what's happening behind the closed doors with the Republican establishment. Whether it's Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy or all the big wigs kind of behind the scenes, they are all on team DeSantis. No question. So when you talk about establishment politics, you know, Trump's fire brand, much credit to him, was anti-establishment, drained the swamp. And that was a great, great marketing tool for him in 2016. But I think the overall temperature of the country is just like Trump. Thanks, bro. But keep it moving.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And everybody in the establishment is going to do everything they can from McConnell to McCarthy to Romney all the way down to ensure that even if it's close Meatball rounds gonna be the the the nominee and the DNC panicked. They didn't think that the Bernie Elizabeth Warren message was central enough and they really wanted to come back to central and they had Bill Clinton in their ear yes you know pimping for Hillary if you can use pimping and Bill Clinton in the same sentence and that's where he wanted it, right? So they said, hey, you get to be back on the center and Bernie and Elizabeth are too far out there
Starting point is 00:07:30 and they changed the rules for some of the debate. Oh, you don't qualify for this debate, Bernie. What are you talking about? And so there's that. That was rules. But you just kind of proved my point, though, is that- A point about rules, but I don't think you need any rules.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Adam, one thing, okay. One thing here, I don't think the RNC needs to bend any rules to put the census at the center of the stage. It's happening because he's getting there under his own power and he's just there. Bernie was the outlier candidate and was getting, there was too much over there and they wanted the votes to come back to the center and to galvanize their support because they were really worried about the election. And so they changed the rules. I don't think the RNC is changing. Any rules in dishanis favor, I think they're letting out rules.
Starting point is 00:08:13 And people are supporting them and he's raising the money. So from an optics standpoint, one could argue that Trump is more like the Bernie back then and DeSantis is more like the Hillary Clinton. Today, you can correct. Today, there's a lot of establishment like Fox choosing to ignore him. But I'm with Pat, we haven't even seen this war start to start yet. We have not seen it yet and it's coming. Anyway, just really fat that then this is this is the Republican fight.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I read an article on the New York Times I to Rob that Biden, for his run, his 2024 playbook is going to be the 2020 playbook, just kind of hide, let these guys go nuts. And this was a statement on it, Pat, that said, whether ultimately he faces Donald Trump, this is Biden, or another Republican trying to be like Mr. Trump, Biden plans a campaign message that still boils down to three words. Component beats crazy. That's going to be his side. No matter who goes, because if the Sanctus plays that Trump card, which he kind of is,
Starting point is 00:09:12 you know, saying he blew up with that Trump attitude, that's how the... That slogan won't work against the Sanctus, because he's not crazy. He's competent. And that's the ironic part, is that at my last point I think Biden as inefficient and as weak as he's proven to be would still beat Trump in 2024. You really think that? Well he already did it. He already did it and there's a chance he could do it. Well that's how Tarnish Trump's plan is. Look at the polls guys. I feel like the point. Look at the polls. The Sanctus last the point the Santhus would wipe out
Starting point is 00:09:47 Vitamin. I love how everybody's laughing. I love how everybody's laughing I said this exact same thing about 2020. You're crazy. You're crazy. It's like there's a different I'm gonna say there's there's here's what's different. Okay, so you know the whole Fraud election whatever whatever, whatever they talk, I'm not even talking about ballots, I'm not talking about the 2000 mules, I'm not talking any of that stuff. Set that stuff aside, you believe it happened, you didn't believe it happened, it is what it is. That's been happening for a long time. You guys got to get better at catching these things
Starting point is 00:10:20 happening. I'm not even going there. Hunter Biden's story. If that story stayed, he ain't getting reelected. When James Comey came out with a story about Hillary Clinton a week before election, Hillary lost. Believe it or not, as much as James Comey as Hillary Clinton's best friend, he caused her to lose. He could have waited a one and a half week more, Trump ain't winning. Tom and I are on the phone at 3.30 in the morning
Starting point is 00:10:45 where Shell Shock, when they announced Trump won and Hillary Clinton had to call and concede, we're like, are you awake? Is this a, like, what the hell is going on? That was James Comey, okay? Because it was a week out. That New York Post story was a week out, fast forward to today. The amount of content,
Starting point is 00:11:04 this is the part about being the president, you give your enemies a lot of content, okay? Your enemies, you don't have any content on your enemies because he's been on the bench. Trump's not been active, he's been on the bench for the last four years, right? Biden's been on the bench. Trump has 15 different things
Starting point is 00:11:19 he can bring up about Biden. My concern, he goes against Biden, he beats Biden. I don't think, I think the dissentist part is a concern. If the left picks somebody else, if it's a Michelle, if it's someone else, it's a different story. But I think Biden's resume is not sitting pretty. He's going to, okay, you ready? All right, 83 billion dollars Afghanistan, okay? What do you call it? Hunter Biden laptop. You got Ukraine, World War 3. First time since 1970 that Russia has put nuclear weapons on their ships. Do you
Starting point is 00:11:54 ever keep going? What happens with China and Iran and Russia unifying, becoming a new world order in the other side that the new world order, you made the three enemies of America become united. What the hell are you doing? What kind of diplomacy is that? He is destroyed in that area. So Trump's going to play to that card, no problem. I think Democrats truly have to figure out a way to get Biden to step aside and bring some
Starting point is 00:12:20 adios in. They need some adios. I don't think Biden's going to win against him. Anyways, okay. Did you guys see the very pleasant looking friendly girl going around yesterday on the Georgia election probe? Did you guys see our friend? Go to the MSNB, is this the one? No, I sent you the last one that I just,
Starting point is 00:12:38 no, not that one. Did you guys see this or no? Do the one I'm about to send you here. I don't think as a 44 year old man, I mean, I've watched Exorcist, it freaked me out. I've watched Stigmata, the very respectable scary movie. I've watched, what else you wanna put out there?
Starting point is 00:12:54 Nightmare on Elm Street when I was eight years old in Iran, but I tell you, the last time I was this scared was when I watched the Exorcist until I watched this crime interview. You know she reminded me of positive recovery? She reminded how many guys have seen a movie fallen? You see the movie falling with Denzel Washington? Of course.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Is on. Yes, it is. Do you remember when the guy's making these faces? You know what I'm talking about? Of course. I'm freaking creepy guy behind the glass. Who knows what I'm talking about? He touches on boom. Spirit goes, watch this girl. She's not acting. This is the real life falling You creepy guy behind the glass who knows what I'm talking I need touches on boom spirit goes watch this girl She's not acting. This is the real life fallen character. Okay play this clip You just watched this I mean you're not after you watch is you're gonna be into men just watch
Starting point is 00:13:41 There you watch it watch it. You're in room with you. It's how you're facing a reaction here What can you tell us about how many people you recommend as a group to face indictments? Look at that. Well, thank you for having me, first of all. And I'm hesitant to speak to something that the judge made a decision not to share. He, I don't know if everyone's aware of this, but there was a hearing about what parts of the report should and should not be published.
Starting point is 00:14:08 In its various forms and the list, well, the sections that were removed were consciously chosen to be removed. And I don't want to say I have better judgment than the judge. That's totally understandable. Is it, would you say, when it comes to, there are indictments recommended? Look at that!
Starting point is 00:14:27 Is it more than 12 people? Is it more than 20 people? I think if you look at the page numbers of the report, there's about six pages in the middle that got cut out. A laugh or spacing. It's not a short list. Not a furliss of me. You're wearing it home, man. When it comes to 75 witnesses,
Starting point is 00:14:50 I assume, of course, it's not 75 people. You know who she reminds me of? How many of you guys have seen the movie Wedding Crashers? Anyone seen Wedding Crashers? I remember that one girl. I'll find you! Anyways, I'm into it. Vinny, I'll introduce it. I know behind you. He's like only you. Anyways, Vinnie, I'll make to it.
Starting point is 00:15:06 I know you are. Vinnie, you see this with the story on what's going on. And Tom, I know you watched the news how they were reacting to it and what they said about this. What do you reaction when you see this? Well, and, and, and Tom, we talked about this in the back. She's the four, so this is for the grand jury for, for Trump. So just let them know who she is.
Starting point is 00:15:22 So they ain't got to have an eye. She's basically in charge. She's a four person, four woman, for picking all the jurors and keeping everything in line. She's the most biased. There was another interview before this one, where she's rubbing her hands and she goes, if Trump is going to come in there,
Starting point is 00:15:38 she's like, I want to be the one to be like, you know, to give that brief that they do. This is another prime example of the bias that they're using on the left which is going to hurt them because what they say time what the what the uh... i think it was cnn or some of the she's ruined she's ruined the whole this at all hold joe the court room thing is all finished you have fair-minded legal
Starting point is 00:15:56 analyst that are on the left that are just they understand how it works when you go into a courtroom and they're looking at this and they were saying, she is the defense attorney's dream. Because they're gonna walk in here and say, my client has been indicted on a grand jury that had so much bias and a violation
Starting point is 00:16:18 of the confidential requirement on the jurists, which one of these interview tour and you saw democrats that were saying she's on this interview tour what the hell what the hell she doesn't have a publicist she doesn't have this they're calling her up and they're giving you she's paid to be on these programs they pay you to be on these things whether it's five grand or ten grand
Starting point is 00:16:41 you're normally paid and you've got these democrats are out there going she's on a freaking media tour. You can't do that as a four person. We work so hard to get this guy on the mat and to pin him down and get this grand jury to indict him. And she just blew the whole thing up, right? There it is.
Starting point is 00:16:57 That's it, but that's the way it is. They're worried about it. So you actually, the funny part of it, the same facial expressions are being made by Democrats yesterday going, I can't believe this. You know, they were just shocked. You know what I think about? Like, you know how sometimes we have somebody that, like,
Starting point is 00:17:11 tomorrow I'm interviewing, we're trying to get the sound of the calendar to interview a Tate's attorney, right? They reached out and so I'll be interviewing Tate's attorney and we'll put that out live. And you'll see, it's gonna be all over the place when they talk about that. So we have conversations before that interview takes place. So imagine you're the producer working on that show, and you're checking her audio.
Starting point is 00:17:31 So, Mary, Emily, is everything good? You're like, hey, bro, can you come and see this girl to the beach? How's the weather where you're at? She's making these faces, you're like, dude, I think this is like, you know what? Can't hear you, click. You can't have this person. We got to change, bring somebody else into replaces. Why would you even put this on air?
Starting point is 00:17:54 This is not helping you out. These are just like, these are turnovers and interception that you just gave to this other guy named Donald Trump. And he's gonna run with this when he sees something like this. So look at Emily K Kors, the reporter. Does that look like a woman that's reacting? Yeah. It looks like she had bad sushi at lunch.
Starting point is 00:18:12 She's about to just open her mouth and hear it comes. She is in pain. You see her sitting there asking questions as this was unfolding. She's not, Emily Kors is not a dumb person. She's an intelligent, good interviewer. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not a mind reader, but I'll tell you she's looking at this going. Oh my gosh Right Is Kate Baldwin Kate Baldwin look to a lot. Yeah, well
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah, well you're saying it's Kate Baldwin look say she's up. She's she's getting sick So so so okay, so we just kind of wanted to show you guys this to inspire you Shout out to Emily give me call if you're in my Emily time anytime soon. Oh my. Can somebody get ahold of rent and introduce Emily to Adam? There's a reason why he's 39 and single, because he chases Emily's. That's the problem. So, anyways, not so much thinking.
Starting point is 00:18:59 All right, so here's the next thing I want to talk about. Parents, you already, we talk about you. Don't show up the stuff on the thing I just want to first Ask the question you can put it there so I can see it but not for them to see it so right now following leading cause of death for
Starting point is 00:19:17 People ages 1 to 44 Okay, they call this the youth younger ages 1 to 44 Cancer heart disease, homicide, motor vehicles, suicide, and drug overdose. Historically, in 1980, up until 2000, drug overdose was last by mile. This data just came out by the CDC. I want you to take a look at this.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Can you put this up? Take a look at this, you guys, on what's happened. Okay. Look at HIV and 86. It goes up. Bone flatline. It's pretty much gone. They're not even tracking the stats anymore like they did before. Heart disease going slightly lower. You got cancer is around homicide is there. Accidents is gone lower, look at these poisoning drug over doses and a number. 50,000 and climbing. 50,000 and climbing, okay. So when you see this, what do you think about Tom?
Starting point is 00:20:20 My mind goes through a couple different places. What do you go when you see a stat like this as a parent? This here is a hell out of me. And there is a story behind the story here that fentanyl is being intentionally shipped to this country in illegal drugs, and the nation's children are getting ahold of it, and they're just, they're, you know, they're dropping a tab,
Starting point is 00:20:41 partying, and it turns out that it's laced. And that's what's going on here, and it's horrifying. And I don't think anybody wants to talk about it. When I see like this, it just underlines just why I have been so proactive, so really with my kids, because of the internet and everything that's happened, so much earlier in life, getting ahold of my girls, before my parents got ahold of me, because what's out there and realizing it only takes one. We used to talk in the late 80s, you look at HIV there and so I graduated high
Starting point is 00:21:14 school early 80s and so back then take a look at the HIV line. My parents used to say you got to be careful it only takes one time and you can get HIV. It only takes one time HIV and it was considered the death sentence back then before AZT, protease and inhibitors and all the things that build the cocktails so that people can live like magic Johnson many many many decades this it only takes one and you're out and it just scares the hell out of me. And Pat I actually lost my mom knows is I lost two friends mom about a year ago my friend Fouquan and my boy Rico they were just hanging out they trusted this And Pat, I actually lost, my mom knows is I lost two friends, mom bought a year ago.
Starting point is 00:21:45 My friend Fuquan and my boy Rico, they were just hanging out, they trusted this girl, they were just at a house, I lay, they're chilling. One of them had his girlfriend with them. Apparently they all did just one little, little bit of cocaine, all three dead, the other girl, oh, oh, oh, dude, but she survived. And this is, I think we talked about last podcast, Pat.
Starting point is 00:22:04 This is, and you said because I'm yeah It's some of it's coming over the border But one of the main ones that flatnell is coming in here is from China. Okay, so China's winning bro I mean we all them all this money. They're making not the money that they always but We all then they're making money on the fentanyl and they're killing Americans so that it's a win-win for them and know But that's that's not a big deal to people You're great uncle meaning he's got you know Great on very good. Yeah, not an old uncle great uncle and you have an nephew What do you think about the story? I think there's I
Starting point is 00:22:38 To have lost some friends in Miami that have Overdost Rob can you pull up that graph? I think there's a few things going on right here. You could see that really boom takes off around 2010, right? Which is right around the time when social media started blowing up. So, you know, what's the term when you... Did you put up the chart for the audience,
Starting point is 00:23:00 for the Aireko Head? What's the term when you, the fear of missing out FOMO? I think social media has been a major factor of this. If you can just, you know, what do they say, like the most dangerous people in the world right now are lonely, sexless men sitting in their basement, so to speak. And if you are just home on your phone,
Starting point is 00:23:21 and everyone out there is living their best life, and you just buy yourself, and you're a 16 year old kid, 22 year old kid, 24 year old guy, whatever it is, and everyone's having a great time in your home alone and you're doing some sort of drug by yourself, I think social media has led to that. And then I think what is even worse, as you can see, it was trending upward,
Starting point is 00:23:38 and then since COVID, it is just skyrocketed. And that's sad because what you don't hear people saying is, get the hell out of your house, exercise, going out with friends, be a human, get out there, like, thank you. And you don't hear people talking about that. You hear people saying, you know, take the pill, take the jab, get, you know, get surgery, quick fixes. No, like, you you know one of the things that I give you major credit for Lincoln on leadership is no We're not all fucking working remote. We're gonna be around each other and we're gonna be amongst each other We're gonna create a culture. We're gonna have teamwork
Starting point is 00:24:16 We're gonna hold each other accountable and I think from for young people out there. There's just this you know lack of friendship and a lack of togetherness. And even if it's in school, that's fine. But then you go home, you go on your iPad and you're alone. And you don't know what kind of thoughts are going through people's heads when they're home alone in front of a screen. And I think it's incumbent on parents. I think it's incumbent on teachers. I think it's a comment on friends. I think it's a comment on family. To just check in on people that you think may have a comment on friends. I think it's a comment on family. To just check in on people that you think
Starting point is 00:24:47 may have a problem and even kids that you don't have a problem. And I think this is an American issue that we need to tackle. It's such a great problem. I think that's a great point. I'm wondering what one quick point I have to cut you off. I like that they're using poison because I don't think your friends, Adam, like mine, they didn't OD.
Starting point is 00:25:03 They didn't sit there and shoot up. My friends were poison because this girl got whatever, they got the drugs from whoever, that shit was poison, because they weren't sitting there, they did one bump of cocaine, and they were all dead, because fentanyl, the amount that fits on the top of this, can kill your ass. So I don't think it's old.
Starting point is 00:25:18 You bring up a really good friend, I would like to know, because I've lost friends from overdoses, right? We know that they had problems. They were partying. And we all, I mean, show of hands, if you know somebody that has passed away from some sort of overdose. This is an American problem that we're all dealing with. So the poisoning, I think, is one small percentage of it.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I'd like to know the stats on that. I don't know too many people. They're like, I don't do any drugs. Boom, I die. I think a lot of it is this collective drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, boom. Now you've just overdosed. So it's a sad situation that we need to talk about. What you bring up about social media, I think, is really important. The irony of the election of Donald Trump happened at a time. Remember when we were talking about Facebook, we were
Starting point is 00:26:02 worried about the addiction of kids. And then as soon as the election happened, we were worried about Facebook, about Russian interference and everything like that. There was a dialogue that was going on in the United States about how kids were being hyper addicted to social media and how there were whistleblowers inside Facebook that said, you know, we've kind of programmed it this way to keep you in, to keep you chasing likes. that your self-worth was connected to your social measurement measured by how many people like you. You had to be crazier, more outrageous, the makeup, whatever you were doing had to be more and more to get
Starting point is 00:26:35 the likes. And that kind of stopped and went to the side. And then we had hearings on, okay, you social media guys, how do we get the Orange Man elected? What happened here? And it moved to that? And I went to a movie recently and both my wife and I, anybody see the Dovesop commercial in the movie where the ladies talking to her daughter and are talking about the risk of social media and everything like that? I think this dialogue has to be considered because I could call that the Zuckerberg line. Why are you taking the drugs?
Starting point is 00:27:08 Why are you dropping these tabs? What is so necessary about partying and doing it? You're getting poisoned by the drug you're taking, but why is it that you're turning to do that? I happen to think social media is a big part of it. Social dilemma is a documentary that I mean, you guys watch the documentary or social dilemma? A lot of people think and talk and all this stuff. But you know, I will tell you this. Yesterday, we're doing a elite mastermind. One of my favorite guys, you guys know who he is. He's asking questions saying, you know, I'm afraid this happened
Starting point is 00:27:38 into me. I'm afraid of making this decision. What if this goes wrong? What if at 70, I work hard, I build my company, but nothing happens in this, this, this, this, that. I said, what if this goes wrong? What if at 70, I work hard, I build my company, but nothing happens, and this, this, this, this, that. I said, why is it for the last three years? Every time I talk to you, you always come from a place of fear. And he says, I don't know. I said, do you believe in God? He says, eh, as he says, I mean, you know, I mean, this country, it's the number one country
Starting point is 00:28:02 in the world for atheists. I said, okay. I said, do you go to church? He says, I don world for atheists. I said, okay. So, do you go to church? He says, I don't go to church. I said, what do you think about faith? He says, no, not really. I'm not big on it. So, I said, I'm going to recommend a book to you.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I don't know if you're going to read it or not, but I highly recommend you read it. I said, let me tell you what I noticed that I want you to be thinking about. He says, because when I watch you, I watch how hard you work and how many things you're doing, but how come you don't seem stressed out and you're just kind of enjoying the process, you've got to wife, you've got four kids, you're running these businesses, all this other stuff, how come you don't seem like you're overwhelmed,
Starting point is 00:28:34 like you're just kind of going with the flow? I said, dude, it's only because I truly believe someone's got my back. And by the way, I'm not here, You will rarely ever hear me talk about my faith. But I think there's a few different things. Pure pressure is a good thing if it's the right peers. Pure pressure is a bad thing if it's the wrong peers. We need better peer pressure.
Starting point is 00:28:58 The right peer pressure forces you to make better decisions because you don't want to let down to people in your community. There was a form of a pure pressure this morning when we were having a meeting back there. It's between us, but you know exactly what I'm talking about. Pure pressure is a good thing. I think people need to start spending more time in churches. I think whatever you practice, go do it. This goes back to the clip we talked about with Robert Downey Jr. Mel Gibson the other day about the fact that, having guys, I've seen the whole Robert Downey Jr. Mel Gibson where he says, Mel Gibson the other day about the fact that I mean guys I've seen the whole Robert Downey Jr. Mel Gibson where he says the reason why I brought Mel Gibson
Starting point is 00:29:27 here is because years ago when I had nothing going on and I was an alcoholic Mel came up to me and well I couldn't pay the bills I couldn't pay rent I couldn't we can't play this because the music I couldn't do this I couldn't do that he gave me a job and that job put a roof over my head and I asked him I said how can I ever pay you back? Because you know, Robert Downey Jr.'s not blowing up. He says, he told me, go find your faith. He says, Mel never told me which faith.
Starting point is 00:29:51 He just said, go find your faith. Whatever that faith may be, and it starts with responsibility. Robert Downey Jr.'s happily married, quiet, low key. You don't seem at the clubs any of that stuff. And to me, one of my favorite, I don't know if you guys like the sky, I love Robert Downey Jr.'s acting, how he is a story, underdog redemption, any of that stuff. And he says later on when you go through this, pass this down to somebody else. So a lot of
Starting point is 00:30:15 these drugs that you're seeing, we can blame social media, we can blame all of that stuff. People are uncomfortable talking about taking people to go to church, going to a faith-based environment and having the right people around you. The better the peers you have around you, the better community you're a part of, you're going to perform better. When I was around other guys, and at one point I was a bodyguard. Most people don't know this story. If you really know this story, you really follow our contents.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I've only told the story one other time. As a bodyguard for a Colombian guy and he didn't sell baseball cards when you're from you know what I'm saying. So so one day we go out and I'm hanging out with these guys. First of all we're having the time of our lives just soon because Colombia is the know how to party. But this Colombian guy was a very well-known Colombian guy in LA. You don't need to know who he is but he was a very well-known Colombian guy and I was a very well-known you you know, tough guy. Tough guy.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Not a tough guy but I would say I was a very well-known guy that I could handle myself in pressure type situations. However, where you want to define that, right? So we meet, we go out, all of a sudden I'm on a yacht in Marina del Rey and there's a mountain of this white mountain, you know, if you want to call whatever you want to call this white mountain. And he says, we have to, this guy owes us $100,000. I'm like, so that's why I'm here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Great. OK, fantastic. So obviously, we collect $100,000. But here's a point. While this whole thing is over with, I go back in the car and I know what I did that night like with the people We're hanging out with them like dude. This is the wrong crowd to be around Do you know if I stay in that community for two more weeks three more weeks?
Starting point is 00:31:52 The guy goes to jail by the way I found there for three more months. No value payment I don't have my four kids. I will never meet Patrick. I will never meet Dylan. I will never meet Senna I will never meet Brooklyn. I will never meet this wonderful people on my life. I will never meet Dylan, I will never meet Senna, I will never meet Brooklyn, I will never meet this wonderful people in my life, I will never meet Mario, I will never meet Tom, I will never, I will never, you're one stupid better father, pressure, you to be a better friend, pressure, you to be a better person financially. Then one day you wake up and you're like, okay, great, this is fantastic. We've done okay. We're gonna make mistakes, you're gonna screw up. This doesn't mean just because you have faith,
Starting point is 00:32:32 you're gonna walk on water, but I think we need more of that today. That's all I'm talking about. I just wanna say something. I just wanna add one thing to what Pat says. You know, you talked about this concept of peer pressure and whether you have good peers in your life or bad peer pressure. Peer pressure can be a good thing if it leads you the right thing.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I think, you know, you said the other day, you know, this whole concept, like your network is your network and you know, if you add up the five people that are closest around you, you're the sum of those five people and And then Paco's, yeah, yeah. But is it really five, or is it really one person that is sort of the biggest influence over you? And I think we all know that it's not just five people. It's one person in your ear who's counsel, you listen to the most, whether it's a business partner,
Starting point is 00:33:19 whether it's a wife, whether it's a parent, or it's a friend, whatever it may be. And I think, you know, you're absolutely right with that. And last point, I think we are so hungry in this country for leadership. And I think that's kind of what you're talking about, is that whether it's a voice in your ear, or whether it's the President of the United States, or whether it's a friend, we all want some leaders to step up and put us in the right direction. And this is what I think is so amazing about you.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And I know you're not big on like, you know, grandstanding, but we wouldn't be where we are without your leadership. So it's not so much the five people that we're close to. Like, we all look at you as the leader. And to have someone, the captain of the ship, so to speak, is so big to have in your life. And if it's you, that it's the person that people look at in your life,
Starting point is 00:34:07 just understand people are looking at you as the leader. But if it's somebody that is the leader in your life, just keep them close, even if you screw up from time to time. Right. One great thing about Adam is never screws up. That's one thing that Adam never screws up. Let's go to this next story, because we're on this year.
Starting point is 00:34:26 By the way, this next story to me also has to do with the drug stuff, because I think working from home is not a good business model, because you're asking people to be alone by themselves. We need to be around people. Here's a story. I know some of you guys don't agree with that.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I'm just telling you how I feel about it. Amazon employees express this may anger about sudden return to office policy. And Tom's got some stuff on this, especially what Bernie Sanders said recently, but let me read this article in an time of coming straight to you. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy will replace Jeff Bezos, announcements of a mandatory return to office policy for at least three days a week. Beginning May 1st has sparked opposition amongst Amazon employees. God forbid you come to the office three days a week. Group of tech workers have created a Slack channel and a petition against a mandate, and
Starting point is 00:35:14 about 5,000 employees have signed the petition so far. A group of employees also spammed an internal website with messages conveying their opposition to the new policy. Many expressed frustration that did have to find arrangements for childcare caregivers for aging parents or potentially move to be within commuting distance to the office. Additionally, the petition presents a number of data points and studies highlighting the benefits of remote work such as improved productivity and the ability to attract and retain top talent. Tom, what are your thoughts on this wonderful article?
Starting point is 00:35:48 Well, this article comes on the heels of Disney. Everybody see Disney also got a petition about four days ago, 2300 people, a couple of people nodding here. So 2300 people, this is in Disney because Robert Eiger said, two things, hey, we're a creative organization, it's good when creative people are together.
Starting point is 00:36:04 And number one, and number two, the rest of you that are not in creative jobs here at Disney, it's good to be collaborating with each other. That's where we get mentorship. That's how you get notice to be promoted. And so I'd like you to be in the office four days a week, four days a week. That's all that Robert Eiger asked at Disney. 2300 people flipped out the same thing. Oh, it's gonna create hardships, hardships, hardships. Then Disney comes out, 72 hours later, doing earnings report and says, yeah, and we gotta let you know we the expenses are still a little high
Starting point is 00:36:33 so we probably have to lay off about 5,000 people. If I was one of the 2300 people that just signed a petition and then you hear him go, oh crap, I'm in. You know what, the same thing is happening here. And I think the employees aren't understanding. They're being given opportunities to be recognized, get a raise, who doesn't want a raise, unless you think you're entitled to it.
Starting point is 00:36:55 And by showing up, you get it. How many business owners or business managers are here? Look at this, look at this. How do you recognize people? How do you help people lift up? How do you notice those little things, those little intangibles, somebody who's in a curaging force in the office?
Starting point is 00:37:13 And so now you have 5,000 people who are signing this petition and Amazon, oh wait, they did a big layoff too. In the middle of Amazon, trying to find some costs and efficiencies, it's just amazing. And also, I like the note here, move within commuting distance of the office. Something funny, go look it up, it happened with Yelp today. Yelp discovered that people that were working from home actually had moved like to Texas
Starting point is 00:37:43 or Florida or some way, and were no longer near the office and hadn't told yelp so when they say okay have to be in the office for three days are like crap so this thing about moved within commuting distance to the office yet a lot of people thinking hey guess what i can go ski and i can live in man with california and all no one to come to the office so when this comes back
Starting point is 00:38:04 there's a flip side to this employee flip out where some of them, and maybe it's for good reasons, have moved out of areas. There it is. Yelp's remote work reveals how a pandemic reshaped local economies in a way we work. Yeah, local economies that no longer had certain Yelp workers, but they had a Yelp office.
Starting point is 00:38:20 And now you have to go back to the office and they're like, whoops, I don't live here anymore. And it's like, what are you talking about? What do you think about this? So, I think this is part of a larger conversation of this concept of a work-life balance. So, there's no secret that Gen Z and even millennials are advocating wholeheartedly like, dude, let me just live my best life a little bit more, right? And I think there is some justification to some of these four-day work weeks.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Some countries have implemented that. They've started to see some productivity go up during four days. I mean, how much time is spent in the office just be asking, you know, networking, talking? I mean, that's part of office culture, I get it. But what I thought as ironic here, he's requesting employees come back three days a week. As the CEO, it's like you're an outmandatory, you need to be in the office four days a week or five days a week, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:39:17 But I think as a raise your hand again if you're a business owner, so and raise your hand if you're just... By the way, if the audience can see it, can you get the turn to camera on the folks, look what percentage are business owner. So and raise your hand if you're just- By the way if the audience can see it can you can you get the turn to camera on the folks who look what percentage are business owners raise your hands again if you're a business owner look at this wow wow you say that's 90% 80% yeah so I think God bless the job creators baby yeah respect I think you know at the end of the day if I don't know who these people are at Amazon but let's just say that they're forty fifty thousand dollar your employees you know they don't know who these people are at Amazon, but let's just say that they're $40,000, $50,000
Starting point is 00:39:45 of your employees. They don't own the company. They don't have them taking the risk as an entrepreneur granted. We can go down that path. But that regular employee, they also want to have a life. They want to have some vested interests in their life. They don't want to just work to live, right?
Starting point is 00:40:01 They don't want to live to work. And a lot of people say well a job J. O B stands for just over broke So if you are not incentivizing your employees to say no this is part of An overall life plan that we can help you with so you can save money and and and really live What do you think about what Adam is saying? What do you think about what Adam is saying? I'm asking you. What do you think? Tell me tell me with what are your thoughts with what Adam said? No, I just, I actually want to,
Starting point is 00:40:28 and by the way, what do you do real quick? What business are you in? So a general contract. Okay. As well as, I own and operate properties. Okay. So what do you think? So general contractor, own and operate properties, right?
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yeah. Okay, so what do you think about what Adam said about the fact that, you know, they need to have some work life balance. what do you think about what Adam said about the fact that, you know, they need to have some work-life balance. What do you think about that? Businesses don't run that way, and the thing is that, you know, you have to calculate, like if you are looking at an overall key and a both on your debt, on your staffing payroll costs, your utilities and overall expenses. If you were to break it down, you would go broke instantaneously to try to help create in that perspective.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Now, there is incentive to help grow. And the thing is that is my job to see whether all you do is housekeeping or you do just lobby. But the thing is that when you see potential, you help that growth move forward. Because I've created, with me and my family, we've created about five to seven people, one worked for corporate choice hotels.
Starting point is 00:41:39 One became a house builder, a premium house builder. Another one joined a major company and she's doing fantastic with their life But it requires time from the ownership at the same time You can't you can't put everybody in the same box And so if you were to put everybody into the same box you would never get this thing moving forward and That's where like your costs won't back. It won't, it won't pencil out. You will go under if you're trying to make a specific move just to help everybody because it doesn't work that way because my family didn't have anything either when they first began.
Starting point is 00:42:15 By the way, it sounds like a very recent make some noise for a great response here. What's your name? What's your name? Say it again Cush Nathan Cush Cush, my name Nathan, you know what I think about you know what I think about Jerry McGuire I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. I'm a need a work life balance all this other stuff. Fine, no problem. I totally understand it. You know, when it comes down to running a business, to go list to stay in business, you just talked about that. A lot of times people are making the decision the way you're thinking, where let's try to please everybody, but then if the company goes out of business, you just
Starting point is 00:43:02 cost a few hundred thousand people jobs or thousands of people a job Bed bath and beyond going out of business to please a few employees. They just shut down 436 something stores who did that hurt? So let's sit there and try to please everybody that you know want a little bit of work-life balance Guess what you want work-life balance go be a laptop entrepreneur figure out a way to make $50,000 in living Thailand if that's what you want to do But if you want to run a company, shout out, goes to the people that are creating jobs.
Starting point is 00:43:29 The job creators in America lower taxes. Let me explain to you this. There is nobody that lowers taxes in America more than job creators. If a person is employed, that company is minimizing your taxes because you don't have to pay unemployment taxes, you don't have to pay entitlement programs, that company is taking the responsibility of doing that.
Starting point is 00:43:52 The more of these companies that are doing that, you want to be able to pay lower and lower taxes. Shout out to them. Now let me give you the other part as well. Fifty cent, we talked about this on Tuesday where he said, too many people, the concept to be being depressed, it's a luxury to be depressed, okay? It's a luxury to be depressed.
Starting point is 00:44:10 For me, some of the most miserable, better people have made my life have way too much time on their hands. Some of the most miserable, better people who do stupid shit have way too much time on their hands. You know what I did when I had a lot of time on my hands? My hair was orange. Yeah. Because I was bored.
Starting point is 00:44:31 So I'm kinda like, you know what? I'm gonna try this peroxide shit. And you know, who's done the peroxide thing before? Who knows what I'm looking at you guys? I'm not alone. Yeah. I'm like, let me see, let's go to the beach. Hey, my hair is orange.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Oh damn, that's pretty sick. I don't have a job. Okay, so, no, we have a little too much time on our hands where people need to kind of get back to work and have a bigger purpose. Life without a purpose is when you start doing stupid things, drugs, alcohol, dumb stuff, coloring your hair, all these other crazy activities that comes in, the more active you are, the more you're in the hunt for something big for you, for your family, for your kids, whatever may be, you're gonna be a better productive citizen
Starting point is 00:45:08 for all of us and the community's become safer if we do that. I don't wanna, I, I, I, I, I, I, give him around, give him around, come on guys, that's, I mean field reporting Ohio. He's dead and it just blew my river. So he's dead now, so the water in Ohio. Let me just give a quick, by the way, shout out to you, great dresser. Push.
Starting point is 00:45:32 I mean, respect to you. But you hit the nail on the head, is that how many more entrepreneurs, business owners are there versus actual employees, 90-10, let's say. So I think what's important for you to do is those people with jobs, they need to understand that they are a part of a company that is doing something and is incumbent on you. That part I agree with. Yeah, it isn't incumbent on you to validate their purpose. Yes. Because you're not talking to somebody that's some $50,000 employee.
Starting point is 00:46:05 I have a company like that. It is so true. Like, I'm not that dude that you think I am, like I'm just a employee. Yeah. So what I do is I talk to a lot of employees. And what I've noticed is there's like, yeah, it's just a job. And I'm like, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:46:22 We're building something here, bro. Like, this is what we're doing. And they're like, no, just a job for me. And there's a disconnect between the entrepreneur who's building something and has a vision and wants to do something and is putting in sleep in four hours a night and is doing something. Versus the guy that's just, hey, this is just a job.
Starting point is 00:46:38 And if you can make that person feel important and make that person feel like he has a purpose, and he's part of something that's actually building something, that's where you get someone to buy in. And whether it's three days a week or five days a week, he's part of the vision. You make a very good point, very, very important point. Let me tell you what happened. Remember how the whole thing, where it's, some people shouldn't become fathers because you're not like, you need to just take your time before you become a father because you're
Starting point is 00:47:04 not willing to do the job. It takes two minutes to become a dad. It takes before you become a father because you're not willing to do the job It takes two minutes to become a dad it takes years to become a father that whole saint and then certain people are Not to meant to become employers So where's Leo at if Leo's in here or not Leo do you remember when we were in that one house in Bay colony and one of the guy was talking about well two years ago I made ten million dollars in profit life was good, I'm doing this, I'm doing that, but I'm having a hard time keeping employees. You know, why do you think I'm having a hard time
Starting point is 00:47:29 keeping employees? I said, interesting, I said, tell me your schedule, how often are you at the office? Are you working 60? I said, when you made $10 million, how much were you working, 60 hours a week? I said, how did you work last year? Now last year, I'm more like 10 to 20 hours a week.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I said, so the employee's sitting there, asking themselves, why the hell am I working for you? If the leader at the top is not driving the company, what the hell am I doing? Because if you're growing, hey, I'll ride that train, but if you're not, what am I doing with you? I'm gonna go and work for somebody else. So I fully agree with the point you're making as well. Some employers need to go become more in a supporting role and be an employee if you don't want that kind of pressure. If you're the employer, if you're the CEO founder,
Starting point is 00:48:15 you got to work, drive the company and sell the vision of where they're going so other people are willing to go out there and join you. If not, go join somebody else's team. Very good point you made there as well. So we got a couple of things here before we wrap up. I got one last story we can do. Okay. We can do one of the five and you pick and choose which one based on the noise you milk will pick one of them. One of them is a mask story by New York Times. Let me give you the list and you pick and choose. The other one is Putin speech about the family nucleus anybody's up
Starting point is 00:48:46 Putin speech about family nucleus if you haven't seen it I retweeted it yesterday and you should go read the commentary. It's awesome. They were all very friendly towards me It was incredibly you shouldn't read what people had to say everybody else you can go enjoy we can talk world war three or we can talk Office landlord defaults are escalating as lenders brace more for distress, pick one of those four stories, or chat GBT that asks the question which one of these people's social score is the highest in America into the world. Which of those five you want to talk about? You pick and choose the audience.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Really? Okay, let's get the Putin speech. We are a bunch of Russians in the house. Hello. Here we go. Okay, so Putin gives a speech and You know he's talking to The I mean you'll see when he's going through it But he gives a speech about the family nucleus и how America is making a big mistake right now на what's causing a fall. And then we'll get some reaction here from everybody.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Go ahead and play the clip if you can. Okay. И здесь опять. Лугук постоянно. Он же очень редко. Истарический фан. Ты guys can't read it. Я've got to almost put it on our suit.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Okay, go back. Turn off the audio. I'll read it. I got almost no no. No, no, no. Okay, go back. Go back turn off the audio. I'll read it on what he's saying. So go back and turn off the audio and put it on 1.5 speed. I'll read it out of fast paced. If you want to press play, one request. What's that?
Starting point is 00:50:17 Please read it in a Russian accent. Hello. Yeah. We're not we're not doing that. I already have an accent. Let her on the Russian accent. I mean, I can do it. Press play.
Starting point is 00:50:25 And here they lie constantly, perverts historical facts to not stop attacks on our culture. The Russian Orthodox Church and other traditional religious organizations of our country, see what they do with their own peoples, the destruction of the family, culture, and national identity. Super slow talk. Perversion, mockery of children and pedophilia
Starting point is 00:50:50 are declared the norm. He's talking about America, pedophilia is the norm, the norm of their life. And priests are forced to bless same-sex marriages. Interesting. God with them, let them do what they want to do. What do I want to say here? Adults have the right to live as they want. We have always thought like this in Russian, we always will. No one will invade private life. We are not going to
Starting point is 00:51:16 do this. So far, sounds reasonable. But I want to tell them, look at the Holy Scriptures, the main books of all other religions, world religions, everything is said there. Including that the family is the union of a man and a woman. So they're clapping right now. I love that. Great hat. Great hat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:44 But these sacred texts are now endowed as it became known the Anglican Church for example plans to consider the idea of gender neutral God. Oh my God. What can we say? Forgive us Lord. They do not know what they do. Wow. Everybody clap, clap. Millions of people in the West understand that they are leading to a real spiritual disaster. The elites directly, I must say, go crazy and it seems that they can no longer be treated. But these are their problems, as I said, and we must protect our children. And we will do this, protect our children from degradation and degeneration, and the
Starting point is 00:52:33 speech is over with. So, what do you think about that speech that he gives? Okay? What do you think about it? Okay. So now, Tom, Adam, I'll go to you first. You hear a speech like that he's given, Putin. The commentary is 50-50.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I just want to prepare you. The commentary is 50-50. What do you think when you hear him give a speech like that about America? I think if any leader made a speech like that, we would all kind of be like, yeah, like, let's return to normal. And let's just respect religion. And probably we're not gonna invade your private lives I think when a thug like Putin gives that speech you automatically are like, okay, if you disagree you'll die so
Starting point is 00:53:20 Again a lot of what he said makes sense and by the way show of hands if you're like a fan of Putin in this room. Okay, so it's not like we have a, okay, we have a couple. And just why are you a fan of Putin? A fan. You like Putin. I get what a fan is, but why are you a fan? You like Russian history, okay. You like the Russian history? And are you a capitalist yourself?
Starting point is 00:53:46 Are you pro-America or no? You name your boy after Stalin, your son. Okay. Can we take the KGB and here to take this guy out of here? Where's the key? By the way, mono, you're being serious, you're trolling right now. Straight up. You know what I love about this?
Starting point is 00:54:03 Here's what I love. How long have you been following our content? 2015, 2016, you've been following the content. Okay, so why do you like Putin? Just what I read about history. Like Russia? Yeah, so I read about all of his, like Russia, like Lenin, Stalin.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Very interesting. What are your thoughts on Lenin and Stalin, fan? Well, I read their books, I read all of them. So you're a fan? I'm a fan. I read all history I like history. I like America. I history. I like I've read mine conf. I'd hate off Hitler, but I'm a fan Yeah, I read mine come to nice. Are you a fan? No, I'm not a fan. I read Okay, all right, but you're a fan of Putin. I like Russian German history every history really History history. OK, how do you view Putin as an individual? Like how he's doing as a leader of his country?
Starting point is 00:54:52 And then who he is to us America? Is he a pro-West? Is he a fan of what we're doing? Or is he a enemy, the state number one? Well, if we had to go to war with them, I would. Like if it was between us and them. I'll put it that way. Meaning what? You would now, yeah, I'll say I have to fight them. Okay, interesting. Yeah, what would you go with that? What was your point? Well, I just wanted to get to read the room
Starting point is 00:55:15 because there seems to be this like fascination with Putin and you can have respect for somebody and even what they stand for, but at the same time understand that he's a bad dude. He wants to bring down America. He wants to bring down the West. He's not on team America whatsoever. And I think part of our country right now is that whether you're on team red or team blue, just remember, you should be on team red, white and blue.
Starting point is 00:55:42 And I think that's just something that, you know, who'd we have on the other day? Was it Jimmy Doer that was talking about what Tucker Carlson is saying about Putin? I don't remember if it was him or not, but... Tom, what do you think about this? So I believe that that is a political speech and he was preaching to the choir that was there.
Starting point is 00:56:04 That was his military industrial front line there in the first two rows, Medvedev, you to the choir that was there. That was his military industrial front line there in the first two rows, Medvedev, you can see him sent right there. And so, number one, I think he's trolling us a little bit, but number one, I think he's trolling us with the reflective truth of one side because I think he's trying to divide. But I'll have to tell you, if I close my eyes and I didn't know who was speaking and I heard that, there's a lot of truth in it and there's a lot of stuff in that that I'm like, yeah, that's correct, yeah, that's true. This is what we are doing to a generation of children. So I see that part of it, but then I say, okay, why is this guy saying it and saying it now and saying it this way? I
Starting point is 00:56:40 think he's trolling and trying to create political division among us. I agree and it's like, right, like you said, he's rallylling and trying to create political division among us. I agree, and it's like, right? Like you said, he's rallying the troops back. Because with everything that's happening right now, he's just reaffirming to all of them where he stands and where they are as a nation. That's it. That's it. OK. And I think he believes...
Starting point is 00:56:57 Yeah, and I think there's parts of it that he absolutely believes, but I think he's trolling. So let me ask you, what is the likelihood in the next 20 years that a president from the right or the left or the middle tells that speech in his own or her own way? Would it be more from the left or the right or the middle? Oh, it's coming from the right. Oh, yeah. A speech like that will come from the right. What do you earn in the U.S.?
Starting point is 00:57:18 Here in the U.S. U.S. So what is the right turned on by that speech? Like what did he say, that he say low taxes? So maybe, so what is the right turn on by that speech? Like what did he say, did he say low taxes? Did he say pro-military? What did he talk about? He talked pro-marriage. He talked family values.
Starting point is 00:57:34 He talked, God, he talked leave our kids alone and parents resonate with that story. It would be great if an American president gave a message like that to protect parents to say, leave our kids the hell alone. That's it. And by the way, I'm willing to tell you, I'm willing to tell you if that presidential candidate
Starting point is 00:57:57 is left, right, or center, we would all applaud for that person. It doesn't matter, but somehow some way a basic message like that doesn't come from the left. Period. Now what's going to happen is you're going to piss off moms who are sitting there saying, do listen, man, you can do whatever you want to me. Go for it. You crossed the line when you mess with my baby, you're going to see a different side of me. You ever seen like my wife, if you ever talked to her, I didn't think she was naturally like this nice all the time. She's like this all the time, by the way. I thought it was like an act.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Like I'm like, you can't be like this all the time. There's got to be an act. So, you know, when you date, you get into some fights and you're like, you see different sides. Now, I see some sides. I'm like, okay, cool. There you go. So, you know, the breaking point,
Starting point is 00:58:37 you do something to any of her kids. Jen goes from straight up playing with her hair like this. Of course, she's doing right now playing with her hair. She goes from that to straight up. Marasava Trucho, like gangster coming out, you know, a whole different person shows up. She's ready to, you know, throw down. But that's what's happening to moms. Moms are resonating with a message like this.
Starting point is 00:59:00 If a strategist is there, see a video like this I tweeted. I don't know how many millions of views I've used, a God just list, I got like 30,000, like 7,000 retweets. Hey candidates, this is an important message for American people. You may want to consider realizing how important this is to people.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Go. The message will not, will fall upon deaf ears because it is Putin giving this speech and everyone's like, okay buddy, keep it moving. But let's just go back three to six months. There was the newly elected Italian prime minister. What's your name again?
Starting point is 00:59:30 Georgia Maloney? Maloney. She gave a very similar speech and it went worldwide. And I think that's what I think you're, I mean, that's kind of where it jen is going. Parents are just saying, do, leave us alone.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Let us raise our kids. And there's nothing wrong with that. When it comes from Putin, I don't know about all that though. Okay, over under, Adam has a kid within two years. Yes or no? How many guys say he's gonna have a kid within two years?
Starting point is 00:59:52 Raise your hand. How many guys say there's no way in the world he's having a kid within two years? Okay, you see. All right, we're gonna see what's, it's about a- There's a certain girl that would probably have a say in this. That girl Emily is your girl from Seattle.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Emily from Seattle. Emily from Seattle. Emily from Seattle. Emily from Seattle. Oh, no. Call Stop! Emily, we're waiting for you. We're waiting for you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Anyways, hey, appreciate you guys for coming out. Live audience, if you're watching this, we got, I'm going to do podcasts tomorrow, hang tight with the interview in case it does take place. You'll let you know if we're going to live with it. Eric, do we have that clip to show them what are the next live ones going to be here? Do we have that thumbnail to show? I think it's an April.

We can't wait for you guys to come in. The problem was, the moment we announced, within a couple hours it sold out. So we got a lot of complaints. Well, how about this? How about that? If you want to be on the list next time, we're no longer announcing it publicly.
Starting point is 01:00:48 We just put it in a text and it sells out text award podcast. Two three one zero three four zero one one three two. Once again, text award podcast three one zero three four zero one one three two to find out the next time we do a live like this. With that being said, we will dismiss the audience out there, but we're going to spend a little bit more time with the folks here. Take care everybody. Bye bye. Bye.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Bye. Bye.
