Starting point is 00:00:00 30 seconds Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweet victory. I know this life man for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. The handshake is better than anything I ever signs. Right here.
Starting point is 00:00:18 You are a 101? My son drive. I don't think I've ever said this before. Monday we did. So this is our second one being back, gang. if you're watching this from Ciuta, Brace for Impact, because the clips we saw yesterday in Spain
Starting point is 00:00:37 was, you felt like you were watching a movie. And you see the first one, you're like, what is this? And then you see the second one. And then the third one, you're like, is this really happening to Spain? It was absolutely bonkers. And then to see Trump responded to it, Maloney from Italy responded to it,
Starting point is 00:00:56 their own prime minister responded to it. There's so many clips of what this guy said that what has happened right now over there is a reality of what he was asking for, saying the West needs people, the West needs migrants, and who are we to not allow them to come here? And by the way, this is not even part of a half a million people that he's wanting to let in. Totally different. This is completely different. I saw numbers, low numbers of 39 to 49,000, and another report of 80,000, 39 people died from trying to come over. And this is a small little place in northern Morocco, if I'm not mistaken, where it's at. So we'll get into that. And then at the
Starting point is 00:01:32 same time, we haven't reacted to this most sexiest man in the world who is extremely famous and he got all his assistants working on him to get different awards and money to get paid, who decided to plead the fifth. The guy that said a few years ago, I'll answer any question. Any question you want me to answer. He pleaded the fifth. We're talking about Fauci. We'll get into that last night Hamas agrees to compete disarmament under historic Gaza agreement. So this is a pretty big deal for that to happen. Both Hamas and Israel agreeing to do a few things.
Starting point is 00:02:09 And then aside from that, we have a story that came about with Florida insurance, which I think is very important for everybody to listen to. Iran's escalation. CNN came up with another poll talking about the fact that a third of Democrats actually accept socialism. That's the word right. They identify as socialists, even worse. A third, identify. And there's a clip, two clips of Nick Shirley with two different girls. One of them is like, yeah, you know, if somebody decided to, you know, rape me, you know, it's okay if we let him go. You just have to
Starting point is 00:02:44 watch this video to say, is this girl really saying this? Like, there's no way in the world she was really saying it. And then another girl comes back and explains socialism pretty wild. Then a Aside from that, we've got a couple other stories. One of the stories is parents in Florida are not being given choice to opt their kids out of AI. It's the choice. Do you like it? I kind of love it because the whole thing is what?
Starting point is 00:03:07 Hey, these are your kids, Jeff, not my kids. How would you like us to teach your kids? I want to opt out. You're okay to opt in. Okay, great. Thank you, parents, because it's your kids. It's not the state's kids. It's your kids.
Starting point is 00:03:19 And then a college professor busted 32 out of 35 students using AI on a final, after they all made the same lazy mistake, which you got to love. SpaceX gets $1.6 billion. U.S. Space Force order for 18 Falcon 9 launches. Again, respect to them. And then we got a couple other stories. LeBron James, there was a rumor circulating that he wants to, you know, shoot the last dance. Okay, something like the last dance documentary to come out.
Starting point is 00:03:49 USA Today talked about it. Then his manager came out and says, that's not true. he shoots it down. I mean, who knows? USA Today reporting on it. Now you want to say it's not. Maybe because the amount of a pushback he got at the same time fanatics is saying that LeBron's jersey, number 23 with Philadelphia selling a ton of stuff. And the last but not least Tom's favorite story, I really didn't want to go through this, but Tom said, Pat, we have to cover it. It's important for people to know about this. I said, okay, let's do it. And that is, let me see if I've marked it off. I marked it off here for you, Tom. I don't you get upset. More people now smoke
Starting point is 00:04:23 then drink alcohol and cigarettes. I think it's important for us to address that. Tom's doing all three. The American people need to know what's going on there. My weed Somalié business is going to make a comeback. I mean, Tom, we raised a bunch of money for Tom's business. John Cleese, you know John Cleese, the actor? Yes, you know, Mighty Python.
Starting point is 00:04:43 This guy's a fairly liberal guy. He's not a conservative guy. He comes out and says some cultures are better than others, and he got destroyed for it, destroyed for it. Anyways, we'll talk about all that stuff here today. With that being said, gang, we had an incredible, the biggest networking event we had here on the property at the office. We'll have the highlights for you next week to show was incredible.
Starting point is 00:05:03 People coming from all over the world. Networking, doing deals together. We had exotic cars all over the place, jets all over the place. You know, it was exciting. But we're officially 30 days away from the vault. And if you're watching this, you haven't yet gotten your ticket. The manuals are here, 296-page. go through over three and a half days. I want you to watch this video. Maybe for some of
Starting point is 00:05:26 you that say, man, I just don't have a lot of time to get away. I want to tell you about a guy 11 years ago that also didn't have any time and this guy said you got to get away. Watch this clip. Your business owner, you will relate to the stories. 2015, my business is growing. We're doing okay. We're on 10 to 15 million a year, but I'm afraid of getting away for a single day. So I decided to go to a conference at Harvard. It was three weeks long. I talked to Tom, my president. Tom's like, Pat, you got to get away. I said, I can't get away. The The business needs me, I have to be here. And he says, if you can take a few days to get away from your business,
Starting point is 00:05:57 you're not a business owner. The business owns you, not the other way around. I said, you know what? I got to step away from the business. And I did. Went, came back, made so many positive changes to the company. And then we blew up. So if you're watching this as a business owner, saying, Pat,
Starting point is 00:06:10 I can't take four days off to go to the VAL Conference. The business owns you. If you want to shift, click on a link below or above, get registered for the VAL Conference. I'll spend four days together from August 31st to September. 3 at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Can I wait to see you there? By the way, day one on August 31st, if you attended, those of you that attended, this would be the best networking experience you'll ever have in your life.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I'm telling you right now, if you go, just to go to meet and network and get out of the business cards, it'll be the best networking experience you'll have in your life, and you'll see why, but the only way to find that is you've got to go there. Go to Vault 2026, get your tickets again, Vault 2026, Logan Ball, Stephen Bartlett, Dan Martel, Montana, Rice, and others, and a surprise in the same. CEO session, which I can disclose you. It's only for the people that will be there. Go to all 2026, get registered. We'll see you there. With that being said, let's get right into it. Yesterday, we're all mining our own business. We're doing our own thing. We don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Then all of a sudden, a video goes viral in Spain. And no matter how much you're scrolling through X or Instagram, you keep seeing it. One clip, after another clip, after another clip. Can you go to the first one of them coming through the water, the ocean? So, So, Siota, which is a Spain city, I want to say, in the northern part of Morocco, and the separation between Spain and this city, Siuta on northern part of Morocco is Gibraltar, which is a very important place. And all of a sudden, you see this clip right here. Yeah, play this clip.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Go back a little bit to see this clip. This is all Spain. Okay. This has all happened within 24 hours of people coming across. And by the way, when you look at this, you don't see families, you don't see a husband and wife and kids, a lot of young men. So some are saying these were criminals that they let out and a lot of these guys were coming through. And all of a sudden, you know, one guy's being interviewed saying, what are you doing here? I don't know if you have this clip.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Here's one guy that's being interviewed saying, why did you come out here? Look of his breakdown of why he left Morocco to go to Siuta and Spain. Watch what he had to say. Go ahead. We can't hear it, by the way, just so you guys know. Guys, we can't hear any of it. The whole audio, everything, we can't hear any of it. Can't hear the clip.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Connor, Jake, can you guys hear us on the back? Oh, there's no audio? No, there is audio. These videos have audio. They're all over the place with audio. Okay, we'll give it to you guys for you guys. You know what this guy is saying, Pat? Yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:08:41 He's like, why did you come here? Why are you coming here? He's like, yeah, you know what? You know, there was a murder that I was, you know, implicated in, and I just had to get away because, you know, I'm just trying to get out of there and try a new beginning. So you're wanted for murder
Starting point is 00:08:55 and you left the freaking country that you're from. And that's what the hell that did. And this video right here, Pat, they're breaking into people's homes. They're literally breaking into people's homes. And there's one video of a lady.
Starting point is 00:09:08 We want to talk about suicidal empathy? Jeff, she's standing there on this bridge. Tommy, 10,000 people are running by. She's recording and going, come on, come on, come on. And it's absolutely insane. And it drives me crazy, Pat. And Tom made a great point, if you mind me talking about. We do a lot of events.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You just talked about the event that we had here yesterday, networking. We do the Yankees one. We do the vote. We do all this. And I realize, I see behind the scenes, Tom, what it takes, the planning, the logistics. So my question is, and you brought it up today, who planned all this? This doesn't just randomly happen where 50,000 military age man, Tommy, wake up and they go, you know what? Let's go to CUT.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Let's just go on your mark. Get set, go. Who called the play? So that's what I want to ask. It wasn't just a random flash mob? No, yeah, yeah. So Tom, my question to you is, when you see something like this, Tom, and I know we always talk about, you know, the powers that be in the globalist, what makes this happen and who makes the call? Who does this? Well, I have an opinion. I think, Jeff, you always have an opinion, too. But when you see something like this, and you just, you have to look past the horror of it.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Now, I'm horrified to see what's happening to the poor citizens that are there that had, remember, this is part of Spain. that is across the Strait of Gibraltar. You think the streets of Hormuz are skinny. You should go see films of the streets of Gibraltar. It's across from the south peaks of Gibraltar in Africa. It's a small little part of Spain, C Utah, which is there. But when I see everybody organized, and I look at the horror and I say, my gosh,
Starting point is 00:10:41 the second thought I say, okay, what triggered this? What's going on? Why did everybody show up with the black hoodies and the band, and everything in Minneapolis. It was George Floyd. Yeah, but they didn't just come down to City Hall, self-gathering, and then get out of control because a speaker revved them up. We've seen that in America.
Starting point is 00:11:01 We've seen people come together on college campuses. They're gathering. You see the students are gathering, not randomly, but they weren't set up in a mob over there to come across. And then a speaker revs them up, and then all hell breaks loose. Yeah. Well, so what that's called is dynamic rioting. This was not dynamic rioting.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Somebody called the play and said, all right, blue 32, razor six, flash on five, which meant hide behind here, gather here, go here, and then these people were on trucks. A truck was opening, a dump truck was opening there, the back open. It looked like a military truck with a military official kind of directing people off the truck. I mean, this is absolutely planned. So I want to know who called this play. You think this was planned. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Absolutely. Because the point where we're making, Pat, is like, you guys have events. When we have events, it takes a lot. I see what Blake and Kelly and all these people are doing behind the scenes. There's no way. And again, it goes. How do you get thousands of people to gather? Right.
Starting point is 00:12:01 At once. At one time. And Pat, I want to make a quick point to, Tom, all this stuff that I'm here. I know I'm not pivoting, but all these people like Alex Jones and everybody, impeach Trump, take them up. Do you understand that our border right now is the most secure? Because this reminded me of Biden's. border during the Biden administration wide open suing Texas for for putting barbed wire and all that
Starting point is 00:12:22 stuff and I just want to I want to remind everybody this if you got and I'm telling I know I know the power shifts Tom in the pendulum if you elect the next Democrat to come into power this will not maybe not if Tom 100% they're going to do the same thing and they're going to say oh it's because you know this is American we have to invite everybody in here I have I sent Connor a clip of Joe Biden in 2015 saying that this this exact thing. He's like, I wanted to be a relentless flow of people. And he goes, well, I want white people. Can you play this clip?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Do we have audio? This is Joe Biden. Muslim communities, but African communities, Asian communities, Hispanic communities. And the wave still continues. Look, look who's next to have. It's not going to stop. Nor should we want it to stop. As a matter of fact,
Starting point is 00:13:09 as a matter of fact, it's one of the things I think we can be most proud of. So there's a second thing in that black box. An unrelenting stream of immigration. They've called for it. Non-stop. Non-stop. Folks like me who were Caucasian of European descent for the first time in 2017
Starting point is 00:13:32 will be in an absolute minority. And they're proud about it. In the United States of America. Proud. You can stop it. Look at my orcas. Take the racial part out of it. The Dems wanted immigration as a path
Starting point is 00:13:43 to perpetual majority at the ballot box. They are getting more than they bargained for. And when you say the Democrats, we need to split it in half. There are independent Democrats that are shocked that what has happened. There are independent Democrats. Listen to what Bill Morris said. Listen to what people that we've debated on this stage here have said, that they look at it and say, wait a minute, this is communist, this DSA.
Starting point is 00:14:07 And then look at the DSA infiltration. So when you say that, Vinny, I love your passion. I agree with you. but remember to split that there is a cancer forming inside the Democrat part of the DSA. And his comments here look like they're linked to it, but all he was looking for was ballot box majority. 100%. And he buffooned his way into this disaster we had at the southern border. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Sorry, I'm just saying this isn't just Democrat. Again, we're watching Spain. We're watching it happen in Europe. We're watching it happen all over the place. This is a leftist movement. It's a global leftist movement. That's why when people use the term globalist, we have to identify exactly what we're talking about here. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:14:45 And it's exactly what you said. The idea here is conservative and conservative and center-leaning voters have been an impediment toward socialist takeover or socialist ideals. And so the idea was we need to import voters who will vote with us. Therefore, we can implement our ideas. So let's go through a couple things here. So let's show the clip of the guy. I think the audio is now working of the man that was saying he left more.
Starting point is 00:15:10 because he was charged. Watch this clip here, folks. Ali, why don't you stay in Morocco? Why don't you decide come to Spain? I want to change my life. I have problems in New York. What problems? What problems?
Starting point is 00:15:28 What problems? The people with a colleague who died. Because I'm going to say things not good for me, you know? and I put you to die a person and I'm the other person, you know, for that I came. You had a job.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Yeah, I have a job. So basically, my colleague was dead. They implicated me, so I got to get the hell out of there. And I had a job at the beach teaching people to swim, which I assume means lifeguard or attendant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:58 So the quality of people that are going there is insane. You know, we don't know what it is. There was a guy, I think it was 39 people that died. on their way there, the number. And when you hear, the biggest problem here is with Pedro Sanchez. If you can pull up any clips that I've sent you of Pedro Sanchez,
Starting point is 00:16:17 the one where he says, he disagrees with Elon Musk, and he says, yeah, this is the one right here. I want you to watch this. He made this reaction to Elon Musk, I believe, and watch what he had to say. And then I want to give you some stats and concerns that he brought up. What's a date here, Pat? This is recently.
Starting point is 00:16:33 This is in June. This is about a month and a half ago. Month. Go for it. Say we've gone too far. This is Elon. That we're going against the current. But I would like to ask you, when did recognizing rights become something radical?
Starting point is 00:16:46 When did empathy become something exceptional? Spain is above all a welcoming country. And this is the path we choose. Dignity, community, and justice. This is dignity? Okay, so no problem. So now, when you're looking at this, these are the things he said. Spain needs to choose between being an open and prosperous country or a closed,
Starting point is 00:17:08 off poor country. It's simple as that. He said that in October of 2024. Number two, he said in June 30th of 2026, without immigration, Spain would lose 19% of their GDP by 2050. How does he come up with that? Nobody knows. Here's also what argument he made. He says it'll be down GDP 22% by 2075, 90,000 bars closing, again, fear porn, 50,000 school classrooms disappearing, 220,000 farms about one third disappearing, he's making these claims. And FYI, do you know of the 80,000 people that they say invaded C Utah, and let's you say the number is 49 to 60,000 migrants in a span of 24 hours? Do you know what percentage of the population that is? It's 60 to 70% of that places population.
Starting point is 00:18:03 So let me explain to you. Overnight, this population, majority Spaniards, overnight is majority. Now Muslims coming for Morocco, not legal immigration, pure invasion. You see the videos. This is not like it's a regular thing. At least 34 people reportedly died during the crossing, according to the latest official estimates. And here's what the president had to say about it. Go forward.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Did you discuss it with him? I did briefly. He's going to have to mention it because it's killing your country. Mr. President, he's killing you. He's killing your country. And not him. I mean, we'll have to see. I know Sarman did very little about it.
Starting point is 00:18:48 And they're coming from all over the world. They're coming from Africa. They're coming from South America. They're coming from different parts of Asia. And they're invading Europe. I mean, they're invading Europe. It's an invasion. And the U.K. is a prime cessation.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Thank you. Mr. President, on top latch, Senator John Corrid of Texas. By the way, while you're watching this, it's important while you're watching this and seeing what's going on, Italy's Maloney sends a tweet out, okay? Massive. I mean, it went viral all over the place. If you just want to go to my handle, just go to my ex-account and you'll be able to see it. She sends a tweet out explaining her concerns of what's going on here.
Starting point is 00:19:30 A lot of people are saying they don't know if she's going to going to do anything or not. If you can just go to hers first, please. Thank you. The images coming from Ciuta are striking and demonstrate once again that uncontrolled illegal immigration poses a concrete threat to the security of European borders. I have spoken with Interior Minister Matteo. Italy will not stand by and watch. We are convening the relevant bodies and following these meetings. We are prepared to intervene with extraordinary measures to defend the borders and the safety of citizens, including the suspension of Schengen area with Spain on illegal we will not yield an inch defending the border, stopping human traffickers,
Starting point is 00:20:06 and ensuring effective reparations will continue to be the line of this government. Go a little bit lower. I posted a comment below, and I said, it'll exit is your best long-term solution, period. A lot of people said, well, how did it work out? Brexit didn't work out because their last seven prime ministers are, you know, globalists, and they're not coming from a place. But if Maloney can stand guard and stay strong and defend their great country, with rich history, they can, you know, do something about it.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I want to send this clip to you. I talked to Dominic Targinski from Poland yesterday because this was my concern. My concern, Vinny, was the following. And Tom, Jeff, I'm curious to know what you guys think about this. My concern was, okay, in Europe, if you have a passport, you can automatically use that passport to go where? EU passport. EU passport.
Starting point is 00:20:57 The blue passport. Of course, you can use that passport to go where. Anywhere. Anywhere. So now watch this. So if this is phase one is invasion. Yes. Phase two, what do you think is a likely to Pedro Sanchez finding a way to make these guys legal residents in the next few years if he's able to? He can't get rid of them.
Starting point is 00:21:14 If he does, then what happens next? So then they have passports. Then what happens to EU? Then it's not an invasion of Ciuta or Spain. This is an invasion of EU. This is an infiltration. So I asked Dominic Targinski and I said, hey, Poland, you'd be. keep telling me you guys have the lowest unemployment, lowest rape,
Starting point is 00:21:32 lowest, this, lowest that. What is Poland doing about it? He says, I'll send you a clip. Watch this. This is what he said. Support illegal immigrants. Spain? Poland.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Bottom. Deport illegal immigrants. Lowest unemployment rate. Lowest rape. I mean, look at that for themselves on what they have going on. They deport illegal immigrants. How the hell are you going to get rid of 60 to 80,000 people that just got to the island? Go ahead and show me how.
Starting point is 00:22:00 you're going to do it. You know, America tried to do when Biden led in, what, 10 to 20 million people? And the moment Trump tried to do it, what happened? I called this. I said, it is going to be such easy content for the left to use and say, look how ice cold. You know, ICE is and Trump is
Starting point is 00:22:16 cold-hearted people and someone's going to get killed and ICE is going to stop. It's going to be impossible to get rid of 10, 15, 20 million people. And that's, by the 10, 15, 20 million people coming through is what? 3% of our population? 3% of population. Now imagine if it's 60 to 70% of your population
Starting point is 00:22:34 within 24 hours. Yeah, we're going to be able to do anything about it. Adam, your thoughts on this.

The Shards follows a group of beautiful, privileged prep school students who are preyed on by The Trawler, a serial killer targeting teenagers across the city. This fever dream of youth, beauty, sex, and mystery is a must see.
Starting point is 00:23:46 FX's The Shards, streaming August 5th on Hulu on Disney Plus. Sign up now at Disneyplus.com. Hey, y'all'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. Wayfair, there's no what if.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit wayfair.ca. Wayfair, every style, every home. Well, in America, we have every right to be concerned because this is Spain's Biden moment. I don't know if you saw what the Babylon B said. They said Spain turns to experienced border czar Kamala Harris for help with the migraine crisis.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Because here's the reality, because essentially we're not really worried about Spain. We are worried about America. When we see tens of thousands of people pour through the border, we're shocked. We can't believe what's going on. How many people came through the border during Kamala's reign as the borders are? Over 10 million people? So imagine this on replay in America over and over and over again.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And then he touched on it with the suicidal empathy. When Trump came down that escalator 10 years ago, and he said, you know, Mexico, when they come from Mexico, they're not sending their best. This is what he's talking about. This is what he's talking about killing your country. And if we don't learn from this in America, we would end up like Europe. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:25:10 We have someone like Trump that shut down the border on day one when he came into office in 2024, or else we would be potentially this leftist open border ideology here in America. So Vinnie's absolutely right. You may disagree with Trump on a few different things, but thank goodness that he shut down the border and America is way better for it. Because, and Adam, great point.
Starting point is 00:25:31 If they won, if Kamala won and whatever cheating that they tried to do, whatever, what number would we be at today? Where would we be at? 25 million? And this is the thing that bothers me. Like, what are we going to do as Americans, as patriots, Tom, to stop it if it happens again? And I swear, and I've said this once before, I'm saying it again, we would have to, as Americans, Pat, go there and stop them.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Because Spain doesn't have weapons. They don't have guns. This is an invasion by your leadership, and I'm sorry, this is the Republic. If we want to save the republic, when these people come in and they come to power, which they're going to, it's inevitable. What are we going to do as Americans? And I promise on this podcast, I'm going to go to the way. We have to go there and fight. We have to.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Or else, what are we doing? And then what do we do? We let it happen. And then a year down the road, two years down the road, when our women are getting murdered and rape, what do we say? Oh, the Democrats, it can't be like that. Because these people are helpless time. In Spain, what are they doing? They drink wine.
Starting point is 00:26:28 eat bread and dance in the streets. And then watch the bulls run in the streets. They should let the bulls like loose in the streets to go after these people because it's purposeful invasion by your leadership. And if your leadership is behind it, Pat, what do you do? Yeah, and by the way, this picture right here, I don't know if you've seen this Pedro Sanchez picture with Alex Soros. I don't know if the audience is able to see it or not.
Starting point is 00:26:51 I'm only seeing Adam's face if you guys are showing it. You know, the question then becomes, who's behind it? Who's winning? Who's celebrating? Who's not? What could it turn into? For me, you know, can you pull up a poll? And by the way, the history of, if you go a little bit deeper into history, there's a massive, massive history of, you know, Morocco Muslims taking over Spain, you know, six, 700 years when they invaded. And then Spain took it back over with the Catholics that came in and there was a crusade like a type of a thing. Tom, correct me on this, that took place. and then Portugal got involved, and Portugal used to have Ciuta, it used to be Portugal's city, if I'm not mistaken.
Starting point is 00:27:32 And then there were some treaties that happened that Portugal needed Spain, and then they gave it to Spain, and then Spain came in. And if you look at the city, it looks like you're in Spain. And it's down the street from Morocco. And so the argument a lot of people make is,
Starting point is 00:27:44 well, you know, this is really Morocco and Muslims, and they did this to us, and they're like, no, this is how it works. This is Spain. So there is a rich history. Do you remember in Argentina where there is these allegations they made that after they held the flag when they beat England,
Starting point is 00:28:00 Falkind Island, you know, the whole thing that they did. Oh, yeah. They said that's the reason the FIFA pulled up to Argentina, and they said you're either going to get a 10-year suspension from competing in the World Cup or you guys can't play the best. And that's why the clips showed that Messia was emotional. Some of the players were crying,
Starting point is 00:28:16 let's just go do our best. Then the greatest player of all time gets zero shots. The entire team gets zero shots in the World Cup finals against Spain. And one of the most accurate. players of all time is missing all the shots on everything kind of weird these are very sensitive topics this to morocco in spain is very sensitive which means what i said this yesterday if you want to go to twitter i said this yesterday it's events like this that could lead to an all-out civil war
Starting point is 00:28:47 and all-out civil war spain could be headed into a civil war this isn't just a border dispute Spain spent centuries under Muslim rule before Christian kingdoms fought for generations to recomb the peninsula. Morocco will dispute Spain's control of Ceuta and Melilia today. The past has a way of resurfacing itself. So this could get very nasty very soon. And if it doesn't, let me say this if it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:29:11 If it doesn't, it's going to sound weird the way I say it. It means the conservatives who know this is horrible for their country and their nationalist, Spaniard nationalist. They're either afraid. They're worried what's going to happen with the backlash. They're already planning on leaving. Some may even use the word their cowards
Starting point is 00:29:38 to defend with values and principles that they know is right. They don't have the means to do so. And simply unfair. Unfair. one bad leader in philosophy can destroy a once great nation. The people that know the Spaniards, they're tough, they're strong, they love their country, they're proud, they just had the biggest moment in the last 50 years winning the flipping World Cup. This should be a celebration, not an invasion.
Starting point is 00:30:06 This is the gift of prime minister gives to their country. I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen, but there's a lot of emotions behind some like this. Tom, Jeff, I'll come to you guys and I'll get to the next story. Go ahead, Tom. So I have four fast points. Number one, if they end up with an EU passport, they can come to the United States without a visa, and then they just throw the passport over their shoulder and then hide like the rest of the illegals in America. So there is a path for some of the worst and the most organized of these to get that passport and go wherever they want, basically. First. Second, looking at Poland, I'll tell you a couple things about Poland people don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:42 there was issues with the old version of Russian passports. Old versions of Russian passports did not have biometrics, in the higher levels of confirmation of who received the passport and who didn't. And Poland said, we are no longer accepting at the border the old Russian passports. You have to have the biometric passport because they were fearful that within the people with the old passports that was easy to counterfeit, that there could be people that they don't want in Poland. Next, Belarus got a little too hot for them. And so they absolutely locked down the border at Belarus. And the article I read said that they only took the most desperate refugees, but they had basically put it on lockdown because what was going on in Belarus was too intense. That is a well-run
Starting point is 00:31:30 country, Poland, with sensible things, still able to give an authentic refugee shelter and doing the right thing. Now, I'll take you to my last point. the weakest border in the EU destroys the whole thing. Destroyes the whole thing. And what Germany did and then regretted with all the boat people that made it to Germany. And now what Spain has done, your weakest border is everything. What was Texas doing was screaming and trying to put its own people down on the border until the Biden administration say, take your Texas marshals and your Texas Rangers off that border.
Starting point is 00:32:07 And they took the bulldozer and took down the barbed wire. because it, by the way, because it wasn't enough that things were flooding into California. It wasn't enough that things were flooding right into the highway that runs right up to Tucson, Arizona. It wasn't enough. They wanted it. So the weakest border in the EU was Germany, but look what happened to Germany years later. Conservative victories, they're still not out of the woods, but Germany is waking up. And now Spain opens a border.
Starting point is 00:32:35 And the last point I'll make path is an economic one. If you listen to what the prime minister was saying, here's what I heard. We are going to lose this. We are going to lose this many people. We are going to lose this. It almost sounds like he wants the low-cost workers to come in so he can compete with the Vietnam's and the Philippines for manufacturing and build tax and revenue off that. If you listen close, it's almost like he doesn't just want.
Starting point is 00:33:07 globalism, he wants Spain to be able to compete. It used to be the Eastern European countries, Pat, had lots and lots of people willing to work in semi-safe factories and build things for the rest of Europe. Terrible strategy. It's a terrible economic strategy, but I see that in his words. So you're actually giving them credit by saying that. I'm not giving you credit. I'm saying it's an evil plot. But hear me out. But no, no, it's not an evil plot. The way you just put the last part is your way of saying And that's his economic philosophy of this is the way of working labor and being able to compete with others. But I don't even think logic exists with guys like this. I don't think it exists.
Starting point is 00:33:47 I don't think this guy is thinking about it from that lens. I think he looks at the world in a very different way that you and I do. We're giving him credit to think he's thinking like an economist. But he loses Spain and he creates Vietnam. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with you. I think that's just the economic justification they're going to throw out there.
Starting point is 00:34:05 They don't believe that for a second. I think what's disheartening about this is that this is a democratically elected government that is choosing to do this, which means there is significant support for this kind of thing. And that's the thing I think we need to focus on, is why do so many people support this? I don't, nobody's falling for the argument that Spain is going to, Spain's GDP is going to be cut in half by 2100 if this doesn't. Nobody falls for that. What really happens is, as we'll talk about here, I think, the toxic empathy. We watched that clip of the one guy who maybe was implicated in a murder.
Starting point is 00:34:35 people on the left will hear that guy's story and say, oh my God, that poor guy, he was coming here for a better life. It's really that sort of perspective that drives all this. Their perspective is the global South, for lack of a better term, is, you know, to use President Trump's word, a hellhole, a shithole, right? So it's understandable why those people would want to come to the North. And so the problem that we have is convincing people to overcome their toxic empathy when they have. have no experience of the downside of their toxic empathy. For them, it's all just distant images on social media. They don't have to live with the consequences of their,
Starting point is 00:35:15 the consequences of their actions and their support. So the problem here is we have democratically elective governments, and I don't mean Democratic Party necessarily, but democratically elective governments that are absolutely choosing to do this, and they're disingenuous and their reasoning for it, but they know very well the type of people who will support these programs, and they are doing everything they possibly can to pump up. Like you said, ICE enforcement should have been a no-brainer,
Starting point is 00:35:38 but the Democrats took that and said, we've got tons of social media content. It was a layup for them. Easy. And we also fumbled the execution. I'll say this because a lot of people criticize me, and I get their criticism, and they'll say something like this. Go back to Iran.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Look at you. You came here because of immigration. What if there was no immigration for you? Fair. Let's go through it. We applied to get green card in the early 80s. We stayed in Iran till 89, six weeks after Khomeini died. We were able to go to Germany.
Starting point is 00:36:14 From Germany, we came down here. By the way, do you know the level of gratitude I have for Germany and America? I am grateful. America didn't need to do anything for me. America owes me nothing. Nothing. I came here as a gift. when they gave it to me was what can I do for America,
Starting point is 00:36:37 not what I can take from America. How can I contribute? So I did my best, went to the military, got out, and built businesses, created jobs just to say thank you because I couldn't have done this in Iran. But don't get it twisted. America didn't have to do this. If America said, Pat, we don't want you from Iran.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I actually understand it. Why? If somebody's coming from Iran and you've seen all the chaos that's happening after Shah and Khomeini and all these guys are killing a bunch of people, I don't blame you to not want people to come from different places to protect your country. I don't blame you. And if you got it, I got lucky. This is why 10 years ago, eight years ago, one of the funniest things happened with my kids is this is, it was here. So five and a half years ago, one night my son tells me, Dylan says, Daddy, why don't you have a middle name? I says, Daddy, I just don't have a middle name. He says, but everybody in this house, including your dad, has a middle name, Derek. I have a middle name, James. Patrick has a middle name, Gabriel. Why don't you have a middle name? I said, I don't have a middle name.
Starting point is 00:37:45 He says, if you did have a middle name, what would it be? I said, lucky. He says, why lucky? I said, because I'm the luckiest man in the world. You know, this is your six, seven years old. You're naive? He's like, Daddy, you're the luckiest man in the world? I said, I'm the luckiest man in the world.
Starting point is 00:37:58 You didn't know that? He says, come on that. The next day, he goes to school. The teacher reaches out to us saying, your son is going around telling everybody, do you know my dad's the luckiest man in the world? He believed it. Guess what? I believe it.
Starting point is 00:38:13 We didn't come like this. We didn't come invading like this. We waited patiently and did it by the books. And if they didn't allow me, they have the right to not allow me. That's why I'm lucky. So this messaging that people jump in and all, and by the way, culturally, I stand for everything, the American, you know, freedom of speech, constitution, all of that. Culturally, we love what America stands for, and the culture fits.
Starting point is 00:38:40 By the way, John Cleese, the actor from, what's the... Monty Plata. He said something recently that got him in trouble. Here's what he said. He said, I see I am being ritually insulted for my support of this man. He's talking about Rupert Lowe of what's going on with Britain. The uneducated call me racist. I'm not a racist.
Starting point is 00:39:03 culturalist. I believe that some cultures are better than others. I prefer cultures that do not advocate stoning, pederasty, wife beating, female genital mutilation, and beheading opponents. Call me old fashion. And can you do me a favor, go a little bit lower to just read, are there a couple tweets or is it to say, okay, I'm not a racist, I'm a cultural, so I believe some cultures are superior to others. I prefer cultures that do not encourage wife beating pedophilia, clitor of stony. Email general mutilation. Yeah, constant inflation of the male ego.
Starting point is 00:39:39 I'm also aware of the difference between Islamos skepticism and Islamophobia. Notice that hate does not come into this. Only moral preferences. Can you choose the first one? And let's go lower. I just want to read the tweets from people. I want to know what kind of tweet response he got below.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. Okay, so that's one of the tweets. What bad has mass migration done to you? to immigration to Europe ever done to us. The raping, what? Oh, yeah, go a little bit lower, concur old-fashioned common sense. Go a little bit lower.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Which of these following is morally wrong? Hitting your wife, slavery, marrying a child, eating bacon. So obviously they're mocking and this is funny and all this stuff and we'll have fun with this. People will have fun with this. People will have fun with this. People mock us as well on some things that you go through. But it's very simple.
Starting point is 00:40:27 What cultures clash? Who comes in that makes the place better? If it does, great. If a culture enters a community, Vinnie, say I don't tell you what the religion of this community is, okay? Every time 100 people, every time 1,000 people from this culture, move into your city, rape goes down, unemployment goes down, job creation goes up from this specific community.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Do you want more people from that community? Absolutely. You would entertain it, right, and say, yes, it's okay when they come from there. Do you care what religion they are? No. Do you care what color they are? No. Do you care what?
Starting point is 00:41:04 No, all you care about is statistically. Now, let's take any other religion. Every time a thousand people from that community come, rape goes up, crime goes up, theft goes up, fear goes up, job creation goes down, entitlement programs goes up. Do you want more people from that community? No. What if that community is Christians? I still don't want. That's the point.
Starting point is 00:41:27 What if that community is Assyrians? I don't want. What if that community is why? What if that community is black? What if that community is Asian? You don't care about where the community comes from. All you care about is you came, that the stats go up or down? Down.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Is it bad or good? Horrible. We don't want any more people from this community. That shouldn't be irrational or un-piled. That should be very common sense for people to say, yeah, that makes sense to me. So, Tom, for you, when you see John Cleese say something like this, how do you process that? Well, I process it that he is bravely coming out to, display common sense. And when it takes bravery to put common sense in a post on X, you know something's
Starting point is 00:42:10 wrong. Because there's going to be people with those blue and yellow vests from the thought police that knock on people's doors in Britain and say, excuse me, did you say this on social media? Now, I don't think they're going to come after him for this, but he doesn't have to go more than about an inch more, and the thought police are going to come. But what? when I see John Cleese and he says, restore Britain, what he's really saying is restore peace, restore what we were, restore what was there. I can remember going to London in the 90s, in the 80s, and there was plenty of Indian people around. There was plenty of Pakistani people around. And it would be funny, you would look at them waiting for a certain accent, and they
Starting point is 00:42:52 had British accents because they had effectively grown up there. And so there was a time when the dilution wasn't bad, where it was, hey, people would legally immigrate. And the one part you left out of your story, Pat, is the Germany chapter was at a U.S. Air Force base going through a step-by-step background check process before they let you come to the United States. So it was the law. You followed the law. And here, people just coming in, leading to a guy like John Cleese saying, call me old-fashioned, but I don't want any of these bad statistics.
Starting point is 00:43:27 I want to restore Britain and I'm supporting this guy and you all are coming after me for it. I think that's horrible. But that's the other half of this, right? The first half of it is the empathy. The other half of it is they've demonized British culture or white culture or American culture. So the people who support this invasion. To justify influx. Both sides of it.
Starting point is 00:43:45 You're the bad guy. Who cares if your community gets worse? I don't care about you. You're an evil, racist bigot. The guy from South America, I love that guy. He just wants a better life. That's the argument they're making. And a lot of people are falling for it.
Starting point is 00:43:59 So John Cleese comes out and tells the truth. People don't listen to John Cleese because he's an evil white guy, right? That's the game here. They have demonized the old way of doing things, the old world. They've said it's irredeemably racist. And because it's irredeemably racist, you deserve everything you get, including being replaced as a voter, as a part of the economy. That's the game here.
Starting point is 00:44:20 You know, the president does speeches in the State of the Union, and then he'll bring people in Pat, and they sit up there, they give medals to people. A young man that was suffering from terrible disease was given a honorary badge to be a secret service or a law enforcement. Remember all this? Do that. I think it's time for our president to bring three regular people from Poland, three regular people from Germany and say, I'd like you to say a few words to American people. Germany.
Starting point is 00:44:48 How has it worked out? Oh, my gosh. Ten years ago, these people started coming in. Here's what happened. It was bad. Now we're voting the other way. because somebody has to show America, and it's not going to be the news media, someone has to show us the perspectives so that we have it.
Starting point is 00:45:04 And then have the three people from Poland talk about, hey, you know, it's safe here, and people can legally immigrate here, but we keep a tight lid on it. Americans have no perspective, Pat, and the perspective comes too late as the German conservatives are finding out. You know what else I would add to that outside of perspective? Gratitude, gratitude, short-term memory. people forget on at any point anything can go. At any point anything can go
Starting point is 00:45:29 and you can't be entitled and lack gratitude. Those are the two things. Adam, I'll come to you and I'm going to get to the next story. Well, this is why so many people say the following, which is all I want to do is preserve Western values. We get criticized so much for the West colonizing the East or colonizing Africa. And there's so many whites with white guilt
Starting point is 00:45:53 in white shame, they've been indoctrinated in schools, white, white, white, bad, bad, bad. But when you flip it, the challenge that I have is it's a two-way street. These days, you go to China, you go to Japan, you go to Saudi, you go to Iran, you go to Venezuela, you go to Colombia,
Starting point is 00:46:07 they have their culture there. And they say, this is our culture. Like, can you just go to Saudi and set up churches? But no, you could go to London and set up as many mosques as you want. How many Muslims have basically taken over London?
Starting point is 00:46:23 And I know my friend Pierce Morgan disagrees with this kind of stuff. The challenge that I have is the two-way street. If you can do this to me, but I can't do this to you, that's the problem that I have. And white people with their white shame and their white guilt, unfortunately, feel so bad of what was done in history that they neglect all the good that was done from Western civilization, and all they do is focus on the bat. So I encourage them to figure out the good that we've done in society, not just the bad. There's a time, Adam, that so you sit there with your kids and you argue points with them because you want to teach them logic. Like, you know, I said this two weeks ago when we were in New York and one of the operators, we were in Vegas two days ago with one of our clients.
Starting point is 00:47:07 But I said this in New York. I said, as a leader, this is how I work with my wife, my kids, and my executive team. This is how I work. I'll come to you and I'll say, guys, what do we do with this? you know, I'm 80-20, I can go any direction. You know, what do we do with this? Jeff, what do you think? I think, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:47:26 Do you agree with what Jeff just said? I don't. Jeff, do you agree with what's your rebuttal to, to, okay, Tom, what would you? And I'm like, all right, so what do we want to do? And then we make a decision, right? Then I'll come in and I'll say, this is a 50-50 issue for me. Let's debate it out. Then I'll come in and say, I'm in 80-20.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I'm 80-20 there, but I need the last 20% to get there. Help me get to 100%. about 90% of the decisions we make is that way. But let's say the 5 to 10% you know what I'll come and say, I don't want your input. This is what we're doing. So it's not like, but that, no, no, I didn't ask you for your input.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Babe, I didn't ask you for your input. I'm telling you this is what we're doing as a leader of the household. Hey, executive team, I don't need your feedback. Here's what we need to be doing next. Tom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, right? I think this is one of those 100% type of decisions. That it needs to be, no, we've already won.
Starting point is 00:48:23 We made the argument. And it took us 250 years to make the argument the case that America is the greatest country in the world. You guys have thousands of years of chaos. And a 56 group of people that got together and they went up against the biggest bully took over and now we are massive. Those guys are struggling.
Starting point is 00:48:43 They forgot what they were all about. They used to be the face of the entire world. running the financial capital world. You want me to apologize that our way of living and thinking and developing is not the right way of doing it? Why are we apologizing? No, no. It's a 100% issue.
Starting point is 00:48:55 There needs to be more conviction on the way we're presenting that. By the way, story came out. I don't even want to get into this. I just want to say what America did. More than 200,000 migrants have taken Trump's offer to pay them for self-deporting. If you remember last year, DHS, raised the cash incentive from $1,000 to $2,600 in late January. And you could get the app even on burner phones.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Yeah, after temporarily raising it. to 3,000 during a 10-day period in December, migrants who sign up receive free airplane flights, in addition to their exit bonus, a total of 132,000 people have left through U.S. programs and another 70,000 waiting to leave. Sure. Okay, waiting to leave according to Axios.
Starting point is 00:49:32 These numbers reflect a 180% increase over 72,000 self-deportations reported in March of by CNN. So this is one of the ways of doing it, but imagine you have to pay people to leave. Hey, get out of here. We don't want you. Here's $30,000 with a flight, go to different countries. So this is one of the methods that America's doing.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Let me get to the next story. Fauci, okay? How many days ago was Fauci, by the way? Was it Wednesday? Was it Tuesday? I don't know what day it was, but we didn't do a podcast. Was it Tuesday or Monday? It was one of the days.
Starting point is 00:50:03 And all of a sudden, Tom and I are on a flight back. Wherever we were, we were on a flight. I don't know where we were. We could have been, oh, we were coming back from Tamptons. I don't know what we're coming back from. Tom says, Pat, I'm telling you, this guy's going to plead the fifth tomorrow. He says, I'm telling he's going to plead the fifth for everything tomorrow. I said,
Starting point is 00:50:20 you think he's going to plead the fifth? He doesn't have to do anything. He's got the preemptive what he call it, pardon. He's got immunity. He's going to have protection from the people previous to him. He knew he was guilty and he knew this day was coming and he's going to plead the 50 entire time. And then all of
Starting point is 00:50:36 a sudden, we wake up and the highlight reel of Josh Hawley showing the fact that any question he asked, this is how Foucho was going to answer. We got a handful of clips to show you and we'll get into it go for it we need audio guys can you go back please thank you mr chairman well nothing says honesty like taking the fifth huh doc let's try something what day the week is it today on the divisive counsel i respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth
Starting point is 00:51:15 amendment to the constitution what color tie you're wearing on the advice of council i respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. What colors the carpet in front of you? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Let's just get one to me. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So this is one clip.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Now, one of the guys went scorched earth on Fauci. And when I tell you this, dropped an F-bomb to his face. He says, I was a business guy. I was running my business. And then when I saw what you guys did, I'll let him tell this story. He does a better job at explaining his position. Go for it. It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses,
Starting point is 00:52:05 sell them all, run for office, run through the United States Senate. Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, who the fuck do you think you were for doing that? Look at Fauci's face, though. It is a total disgrace what you did to this country. And my Democrat colleagues are standing there defending you, I hope the voters, the United States of America, watch the clips of every one of you, doting on a guy who was more interested in being a celebrity than saving American people.
Starting point is 00:52:37 I will make it my mission to make certain that every single one of those Republicans who did that, will see that clip over and over and over again. Because defending, there is no defense. defense of what you did. You may have had a 50 plus year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace. And by the way, I think there was a moment later on when he's walking out. He goes into the elevator. He says, Pauci is a full on POS. I think he said that. The clip is out there. You may be able to find it. But there was a moment where Fauci and others, probably some of the Biden administration instructed him to have your lawyer speak on your behalf.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Until Rand Paul's like, no, no, no, no, no. This ain't. going to fly. I'm here to talk to you and I'm your lawyer. I don't know if you have that clip ready or not. This is one of the best clips of Rand Paul asking, this is not it. There's a clip of his lawyer in there, Fauci's lawyer sitting next to him. And Rand Paul says, I need you to get up and please escort this man out of here. Is this the one? Go for it. You're not recognized. You're not recognized. If you are unruly, you will be removed from the proceeding. You are not, you are not recognized and you you are not recognized sir sir you are not recognized you are not recognized security the audacity we'll we'll hold off but you will respect these proceedings you were told not to sit
Starting point is 00:54:13 at the table you insist on sitting at the table and we told you you would not be recognized you are not invited here for testimony sir you are being disruptive would you behave this way a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail. I can't do that today, but I can have you escorted from the premises. So I would say, sir, sit quietly and don't say another word. I said, sit quietly. You are not recognized. Another word and you're gone. So, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to hear what the attorney has to say. Can you please show the clip that I texted you this morning that shows him being escorted out instead of showing the 17-minute clip? Thank you. Is this the one? His attorney has been gagged.
Starting point is 00:55:02 They already kicked them out. Yeah, right. Thrown out of this hearing room. Yeah, okay, so this is after him being escorted out. But not in a showtime. So he eventually says get out. And by the way, you know what people start doing? Everybody starts clipping, clapping for the guy to get out.
Starting point is 00:55:17 So, again, we can show so many of these clips. The one thing that I saw, which was kind of weird, was the following. I don't know if you have that one about, did you guys see the clip that was posted by lives of TikTok? of the pardon that was given to him, how it was dated. Have you guys seen this one? Did you see this one, Vinnie? Watch this. Tom, I don't know if you saw this one or not. Fauci's pardon is dated back from 2014. Do you know what else happened in 2014?
Starting point is 00:55:47 The NIH awarded a grant to study, but bat coronavirus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology really makes you wonder. Please click on the executive grant of clemency. Zoom in a little bit if you could. Zoom in a little bit if you could. Are you able to or it doesn't allow you? Okay, if you zoom in, it tells you right there that for any offenses against the United States, which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from when January 1st, 2014,
Starting point is 00:56:16 through the date of this part arising for or any manner related to a service as director of N.I. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Why did they take you back to 2014? Biden wasn't president in 2014. Weird. Why would they take it back there? Did you see this one time or no? Yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:56:36 It's very clear why they went back there because the date was being put on this thing by the people that are supporting Fauci, which is people that were in the pharmaceutical industry and the people, the people, the people that authorize the appropriation to fund NIH, which money then went to the Wuhan lab, which was being done for research on gain of function. So it's clear. They're like, you know, somebody said to the president, yeah, you know the date on this? We need to go back to 2014. Why? No reason. Pat, that's exactly why. What he said, the 2014 is an admission by the people that were around Fauci and that were lobbying for and that were helping put this clemency and this pardon in place that they knew back in 2014 what they were doing.
Starting point is 00:57:23 That's what it means. But Fauci asked for it, though. Think about it, Tom. Fauci was the one. trying to go for clemency. He was begging. This is this is Fauci going, hey, you're going to give me a pardon because we were all in on this together. I needed to go back to 2014 because you know, I know that they're going to come after me. Not because of lawfare like they did with Trump. This is actual, Pat, he's a monster. And I'm using that word, like, I have so much
Starting point is 00:57:49 to say about it. Monster's appropriate. Go, take the lead. Go for it. Because I'm going to, but, Connor, I'm going to go to one thing. Just to show you who Fauci is a human being, because I'm going to go in. In 2020, can you find the rat thing? Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh published a study where they grafted scalp tissue from aborted babies onto mice and rats causing the human skin to remain alive,
Starting point is 00:58:12 even to grow fine human hair on babies. This was funded by part of the NIA infectious diseases while Fauci was its director. This is who Fauci is, Pat. Just to give everybody a little glimpse on who this guy is when I say that he's a monster. Okay? I want everybody to understand that.
Starting point is 00:58:28 So the point I want to make, too, is, Pat, one thing, the auto pen that we just saw on that document, what happened? President Trump even has it as Biden's photo. Where's the investigation? Where's the, prove that it's wrong. That's the only way to go on. What are Trump said?
Starting point is 00:58:41 Trump said they can't do anything about this, or they're not going to do anything about it? I said he respected the auto department, so. Yeah. Why do you think he's saying that? Because it probably is no real legal route. Or it's two things, though. Can you play the clip?
Starting point is 00:58:53 Can you play the clip, please? Do you think that the DOJ? should reopen the investigation to the autopen, specifically pertaining to Fauci? Well, the only thing you can really think about is the auto pen, because the most powerful thing the president has, they say, is the power of pardon. So he was pardoned by Biden, and I respect that. I know how powerful it is. It's very powerful.
Starting point is 00:59:17 They say it's literally the most powerful thing the president has. Now, whether or not... So here's to all the Democrats. who are defending Fauci. You have one of two choices. And Vianna come back to because I want you to finish your thoughts. One choice you have, call out all the BS with Fauci
Starting point is 00:59:37 and how he was protected. If you don't, when the president self-pardoned himself and all his family members, this is how much moral authority you have to say anything. Nothing. Period. And you better believe it's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Because as much as everybody is like, well, you know, they were going after 100, Biden and all this other stuff. These guys took money from Baris. There's so many different documented things that was being said about the actual things that you can see.
Starting point is 01:00:06 What is the likelihood of the next president, say AOC wins. What's the likelihood of them going after Trump and his family and his kids and his grandkids? 101%. 1001%. So don't lose your shit when the day comes, when he pardons
Starting point is 01:00:20 everybody and his family, and you can't say nothing about it. So either mock and hold Fauci's feet to the fire and have your argument for pardons not being good or number two, you don't have anything to say in two and a half years. And shame on every single one of those Democrats. Like this is an old wound that they, beyond the wound, beyond the gas, this is a gaping freaking cannonball wound to your stomach.
Starting point is 01:00:46 They expect this just to roll over and forget about it. Think about this. If you're listening to this, your business was ruined, okay? And I know this package. There's somebody in our room over here in production who couldn't see their grandfather who was dying that was calling, crying to his family members that they couldn't. Come see me. Come see me. They wouldn't because of this guy.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Because of Fauci and he was in charge of all of it. All the churches closed down. The liquor stores were open. And all you guys are sitting around not doing anything. And what boggles my mind, okay, is people that are still sticking up for this freaking monster today. Like Chris Cuomo, who I know that they're best friends and he grew up with him, knowing him. You, your boy knowingly knew, okay, about everything about COVID, the origins, lied about the mask, lied about the social distancing, lied about the vaccine efficiency, lied about transmission, natural immunity, lied about Ivermectin, hydrocholoquine. And even when they knew this was helpful, knew it was helpful, they lied about it.
Starting point is 01:01:43 And Chris Cuomo, you got long COVID, whatever that means. Your boy Fauci knew that Ivermectin and all that stuff could have helped you, okay? But in that, nope, but you guys went on CNN. and embarrassed everybody. You called everybody and made fun of them. And they even made CNN, made Joe Rogan look green, okay? And the one clip that pisses me off,
Starting point is 01:02:02 it's not this one, Connor. Go to the one, everybody has clips going around. And Chris Cuomo's is going around, especially with the Dave Smith debate. What pisses me off, Connor, could you go to the one that the other one of, that I sent, of Chris Cuomo basically calling the pure bloods,
Starting point is 01:02:17 the people that didn't get vaccinated, terrorist. I want, do you play that beginning clip, Connor? Oh, okay. Well, while he looks at that, while he goes and finds that, I want to make a point. I wonder how many children, how many kids, Pat, four years old, five years old, six-year-old are suffering right now from myocarditis because they heard the clip that he's looking for where a father probably was like, well, I don't want to be a terrorist. Let me jab my kid with this experimental drug. This is, this is the number one clip that infuriates me. This one? Yeah. Go for it.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Think about this. In a world. of threats and tyrants, terror. You know what our biggest enemy is in America? Our fellow Americans. The pandemic is dispositive proof of that. The number of new COVID cases going down. Debtes. You can pause it.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Goes into it and basically tries to make fun of everybody, not make fun, but bash. Anybody that's getting vaccinated, vaccinated, okay? And no apology. Okay, unlike Stephen A. Smith, Pat, I keep getting more respect every single day for Stephen A. Smith. He apologized for calling Kyrie Irving selfish for not taking the vaccine. That's a man.
Starting point is 01:03:32 That's a real man saying that I messed up. Like, I messed up and I'm sorry. So it just drives me crazy. This cannot be something that we just look over like James Comey's 8647 shells that nobody's even talking about anymore. That's nonsense. People died. Americans died. Americans are going to suffer forever, Pat, because of this people.
Starting point is 01:03:53 and they pushed it. And there's no apology. And Fauci sits there, Pat, untouchable, untouchable knowing that nothing's ever going to happen to him. You know what, though, I think there's a couple of things here. I mean, number one, this isn't, this is an open wound that needs to be dealt with in a lot of different ways. Emotionally, but also politically, legally, a whole bunch of people.
Starting point is 01:04:14 People are fucking tired of no accountability. No accountability. So that's number one thing. But what struck me about the testimony with Fauci, especially the fact that he kept invoking the Fifth Amendment. Did you look at his face? It looked like the guy was going to cry. The reason the guy was going to cry is, I mean, just the diary stuff alone.
Starting point is 01:04:31 This is a megalomaniac who did not want to sit there and be berated by a bunch of people he thinks are beneath them. The fact that he did sit there and take it to the point was almost like torture watching the guy because he knows. If he opens his mouth, he's in trouble. What we're saying here is there is something here and Fauci knows it. The question is how do we get it? That's the question. So the part to do it, and FY, Jeff, Vinny, incredible breakdown. And shout out to Stephen A. Smith and Cuomo eventually, all he has to do is just come out and, you know, say, I don't think it's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:05:05 Americans are forgiven. People would say, you know, we screwed this up. A lot of more people would be okay. Your key word, the most important word you use is the open wound. That's exactly what it is. It's an open wound with the American people. So what can you do about it? What they're realizing is, federally, you can't do nothing about it.
Starting point is 01:05:26 But statewide, you can't. So I don't know if you guys saw what Florida's planning on doing. Did we have that story in here or not? Maybe I just missed the page of it. They're looking at... Addendum 3. Addendum 3. Okay, so this is the one.
Starting point is 01:05:39 Addendum 3 is... Is I messed this one up again? Or... Okay, Addendum 3. Addendum 3, Florida investigating Fauci for potential physical and monetary harms to residents during COVID-following Senate hearing. So Florida realized maybe the federal government can't do anything about it, but we can.
Starting point is 01:05:59 We can do something about it. So the Attorney General, James Uthmire, which is a heavyweight, this guy's going to get used to this guy's name. He's going to do some stuff. Announce he is opening an investigation to Dr. Anthony Fauci's following Fauci's decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment,
Starting point is 01:06:13 right and not answer any questions during Wednesday's congressional hearing. Fauci's lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable. My office was launching an investigation. an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci. It's past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID. Uthmaire wrote our next inquiry.
Starting point is 01:06:26 We'll focus on what Fauci knew when he knew it and how he misled the American people and will examine the physical and monetary harms to Floridians that may have resulted from his deceptions. Uthmire cited revelations published by Rand Paul's Fauci's internal notes written on the government computers during his time in NIAD. One February 2020 entry shows Fauci privately discussed
Starting point is 01:06:48 in the case for 10, rate, 0.2 to 0.3 with other CDC director, Tom Frieden, yet a month later in congressional testimony, Fauci pegged mortality rate at 1% calling it 10 times more lethal than the flu. Ted Cruz said Fauci deliberately lied to the American people over and over again and should go to jail. So this is the part where if someone wants to go after, by the way, hours afterwards, him and his wife were caught walking outside and people were saying things to them. And he was telling them to F off, I think. He said F off to someone that was talking to him.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Yeah, he was on the phone with somebody and telling him to F off. So, Tom, what is the likelihood that if Florida goes after him, a state goes after, more states go after him, that eventually comes down to something, like closing that open wound? I now think that we are crossing 90% chance that he will be convicted of something somewhere. You're at 90%. Now, let me tell you, convicted of something somewhere. And I'll tell you why I think that. And by the way, I think it would be a plea.
Starting point is 01:07:47 Up the calcium numbers as well. He's 85 years old, or 82 years old, one or the other. I think he's 85. He's old. He's a healthy 85-year-old, though, too, respectfully. Correct. We've been vaccinated multiple times. I'm surprised he's still with us.
Starting point is 01:08:02 The whole, the reason I say that, I think he will be convicted under a plea deal by someone somewhere, and I believe it'll be one of the states that gets angry enough about the open wound they still have, number one, And number two, Pat, this hearing did, look at that, up to 32%, 32%. Can we pull up the latest report that's active? Can we pull up the latest report of being active? Because, and that thing was at zero, then went to 10 when you showed me, Tom, then 20, now 32%. So I think there will be a procedural success by Rand Paul in that. that he will be found guilty in committee of contempt of Congress, number one.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Number two, I believe one of the states, and Florida is laying the groundwork, and by the way, Florida has not been idle on this. Ron DeSantis, God bless him, he has been behind the scenes with the state attorney general preparing the case on behalf of the people of the great state of Florida, and he's been on that. So this is that Florida didn't just wake up with this hearing. They've been on it, you know, because Ron DeSantis has been taking shots, you know, since he was the bold governor that stepped out and said, UV beaches, I'm not closing them. I'm not doing it, you know?
Starting point is 01:09:24 If there was a moment, Florida, but then he stepped back from it. And so I believe a state like Florida is going to get something, and they're going to get it to the end, and he's going to have to plea. The minute he pleads, I think other red states will follow. But I'm at 90% that at those hearings and the contempt and everything we see, they're somewhere it's going to happen. Now, do I, it is a long shot to get what Josh Hawley and Rand Paul are after, which is the pardon was overbroad and nonspecific,
Starting point is 01:09:59 not auto pen, Vinny, but I would love to get that because that nullifies it. Can we look at this real quick? Can you go a little bit higher? So check this out. So who will be charged with a federal crime, charged, not convicted, charge, which is obviously go, go, exactly. go a little bit. Is that the top list? Kathy's at the top? Who do they have?
Starting point is 01:10:17 John Brennan, 46%. Letitia James 31, Jack Smith, 29, Cassidy Hutchinson 25, Ilhan Omar 25, Peter Strach, 22, Fauci, 17%. But up nine. And Newsom is only at 16% right behind Fauci.
Starting point is 01:10:33 That is unbelievable. Yeah, he's up nine. Moving up. And how much money has been put up on this one here, on Calci? Go a little bit lower to see if it's real or not? No, just go to the bottom left. it'll show you. Close up, close up Fauci. Go all the way to the bottom left. Close up Fauci. You go a little bit higher. I think it's like 2.2 million. Okay. So, so, yeah, maybe we'll refresh the page, refresh the page. It'll typically, if you go a little bit lower,
Starting point is 01:11:01 right, 1.2 million bucks. Okay. All right, Vinnie. But, real money. And here's my question. Well, I have two things to say. What's to stop the next Dr. Fauci from happening? Because it just seems like, You could come in, lie and deceive everybody. A million people could die. You could sicken all these freaking people have. By the way, tell me what you mean by that.
Starting point is 01:11:21 Like, here's my thing. If another president comes in, that's a Democrat, and a virus comes out, and it leaks and does whatever, and they have connections to it. All the president has to do is preemptive part of him, and he'll walk free. Oh, but here's a difference. So to me, you know, to say the next guy,
Starting point is 01:11:39 you're going three steps ahead. Step number one is accountability. now, which what happened Tuesday or Monday, whatever the day was, is a phenomenal good start. This is good. Let's be optimistic, Vinny. Let's not be pessimistic. The good news is what?
Starting point is 01:11:55 This is increasing. More people feel the way you do. There's accountability. States are taking action. This is positive. Future looks bright. This is good. When we get smarter now, because remember,
Starting point is 01:12:08 previous to this pandemic that happened, what was the previous one? How many years prior to that one? How many years prior to that one? Like the SARS. Yeah. Meaning we're not trained on this. This isn't something that, you know, you're going to become a president overnight.
Starting point is 01:12:20 President Trump had no clue what was going on with COVID vaccine. If you remember that. Yeah, who was the old pandemic. It's like, uh, everybody was kind of going through it. So I think this is a good sign that they're going through this. Of course, these guys are going to have that kind of power to do a lot of different things. But now the American people know to trust the next person less and hold them accountable in a different way. I think this is a good direction.
Starting point is 01:12:42 This is progress. Let's give credit to progress. Can I make one of a fun fact. Fauci quietly joined the Scientific Advisory Board of an MRNA startup called Vaccine Company. You could look this up in 2003 shortly after leaving government. So in September 2024, Biden administration awarded the company a reported $28 million government contract. Then two months ago in May, Eli Lilly acquired the company in a deal worth up to
Starting point is 01:13:11 $1.55 billion. So the company has kept a low profile, but its CEO, Susan Silberman, previously served as Pfizer's global president of vaccine, which is kind of weird. So my question is this, how much did Fauci make from serving on that scientific advisory board and did he receive any financial benefit
Starting point is 01:13:30 from the Eli Lilly acquisition? Those are, those are, there's so much, Pat, connected with money and favors and crazy. Vinnie, the more they talk about this, the worse it is for him. And the less Fauci, again, that's my point. The fact that Fauci did not put up an argument. It helps the, it helps exactly what Pat's saying is that, you know, people need to hear the truth.
Starting point is 01:13:51 And part of the problem with the truth is that you always had Fauci who was out there with his scientific speak, scientism speak. And so it was very difficult for people to get the truth. The fact that he could not say a word, he wanted to, he was in tears. They were tearing the fact that he realized if I say anything, I'm putting myself in jeopardy. I'm not putting up a defense for everything that I did, even though it's all out there now. That is a huge positive because it helps turn the tie. People who were counting on Fauci to come and say some kind of defense for everything.
Starting point is 01:14:20 And he didn't. He didn't. In one of the most pressure-filled situations, most important moments in this entire post-COVID, post-COid, whatever you want to call it, fiasco, he said nothing. And there's clips of him saying that asked me any question. I'll set the record straight.
Starting point is 01:14:37 That's right. He said nothing. Adam, thoughts. Well, I've got a lot of thoughts on this. The number one thing is Fauci failed America. There's a lot of common sense of Americans who maybe were on the fence with Fauci. And after that debacle sitting in front of the hearing, when he pleaded the fifth over a hundred times, one, two, three, four, five, fifth reminiscent of the Chappelle show, the average American goes,
Starting point is 01:15:00 unbelievable. This is insane to me. So I have a couple F words for Fauci. Because if this was a report card, Fauci would get an F. And there's a lot of people that want to say F Fauci, but here are my F.Words for Fauci failing America, which has the highest mortality rate during COVID of any country in the world.
Starting point is 01:15:18 So another F word is fake news. It was trust the science, trust the experts. He was self-dealing the entire time. How much faith and trust did the American public lose in the institutions, completely eroded? Fauci's finances, you just touched on this. How many millions of dollars did Fauci enrich himself during this all because he wanted fame he became the most famous
Starting point is 01:15:41 person in the world in his little diary he's getting interviewed by Julia Roberts the pretty woman and he's the sexiest man in the world all about fame another Fettermuda it seems to be one of the only sane Democrat at this point basically saying you fooled me Fauci you got me I actually believed in you I trusted you and you fooled me and the last thing is this is the future you know we say the future looks bright Bernie Moreno the Congressman out of Ohio said this, 50 years, you've been here, and it all ends in disgrace, which reminds me of one of my favorites quotes of all time, which was Jack Bulgall from Vanguard,
Starting point is 01:16:17 when he says, when I die, I hope my name and my legacy stays intact. At the end of the day, Fauci, his name is going to be shamed, just like the Hitler's of the world, the Madoffs of the world, the Stalin's of the world. How many of those do you see? And you know, that's such a point. Fouchy, who is known as a fraud. Such a good point, because it's not like your life. last name is Jones or Jackson or Johnson. Yep. It's just like no one's, for the rest of your life, anybody's last name that's Fauci,
Starting point is 01:16:45 you're going to bring you back to this season. Great point. Yep. For the rest, what a great point. For the rest of your life, we're going to remember Fauci and we're going to have, that's going to be negative link to you, negative link to you. And that's his legacy of what he did. Well deserved of what he did to all the people.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Can I ask you one quick question? I know you want to move on. if the Democrats, like if Fauci was a, I'm sorry, if Fauci was a Republican and a Republican president gave him a preemptive pardon for crimes against humanity, what would have happened? What would have happened to the country? It's not about what would have happened to the country.
Starting point is 01:17:23 What happened to him? You know, I went back and looked at who has gotten preemptive pardons. You know who the list is? Who? I think Ford gave it to Nixon, if I'm not mistaken. Tom, is that correct? Can you fact check me real quick? who are the highest ranking officials that ever got a preemptive pardon like Fauci got?
Starting point is 01:17:40 I think Ford gave it to Nixon. There was the Secretary of State for President Bush after no Oliver North Iran contract. I think senior he gave it to somebody. I may be wrong, but just check it. Richard Nixon, yeah, he got it from Ford. Okay, so that's because of all the Watergate scandals. Mark Millie got it from Biden. Fauci is the third highest ranking one.
Starting point is 01:18:05 There you go. 1992 Secretary of Defense, Casper Weinberger, and then you had Bush, gave it to also Robert McFarland, National Security Advisor, and then Biden also gave it to Liz Cheney. Fauci is the first person in his position
Starting point is 01:18:21 to get the preemptive pardon like the one that he got because they knew this guy was guilty. And by the way, compare COVID to the Iran contra because Kaep Weinberger and Robert McBerlin were both pardoned. It's part of Iran contract. Nothing. And by the way, as crazy as it sounds, fun fact, weird fun fact, four and a half years ago when I was looking at buying this property, the 11 acres,
Starting point is 01:18:44 the guy that was a realtor took me and I met with the guys that knew about the property. This was a CID DOD property where Oliver Nort did his Iran contra on this exact 11 acres that we have. And the director of the airport had to come and tell me this was a CIDD property. It's funny. When I brought Bustamente and a couple of other CIA guys, are always telling me, this looks like a perfect airport for CIA. I kind of was many, many years ago. Yeah, our gardener said he dug up 4 AK-47s and a skull of a contract.
Starting point is 01:19:11 Yeah, I mean, what do you think? Maybe it really happened. Any burn bags or anything else? Yeah, that's funny. Okay, let's go to the next story. It's a CIA starter set. Next door I want to get into is Iran escalation, tying with what Hamas just did. Iran launched renewed missile attacks as U.S. and Saudi strike Tehran backed militia in Iraq.
Starting point is 01:19:30 And just the moment you think this is Sloan. down. It just gets nastier and nastier. And so Iran launched a barrage of missiles at American forces in the Middle East. This is July 29th. On Wednesday, as a U.S. partnered with Saudi to strike Tehran-backed militias and neighbor in Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisors, the flare up on multiple fronts after several days of a relative come raised the risk of a return to an all-out war and underscored the difficulty of winding down a five-month conflict that has jolted the world economy. Iran's revolutionary government. Guard said it fired ballistic missiles at Jordan's Muwafok, salty Air Force base, a key U.S.
Starting point is 01:20:10 military hub. Jordan's military said five missiles were intercepted with no casualties. Foxwood's reporter said Trump told him use vulgarities that the U.S. will hit hard. And then at the same time, Trump launches U.S. airstrikes. We saw that. So, Tom, seeing this, Snyder, both of you guys, seeing this, any progress being made, or is it just getting nastier. No, it's, it, I don't see progress now, and I don't see statements of progress coming from the president. The president is very exasperated by the negotiations. He's had great people negotiating. He's exasperated. And now we've got this military, and by way, it was
Starting point is 01:20:51 Adam that said, I don't trust the ceasefire because I don't trust any paper that's signed by Iran's side. And Adam was right. And here's what happened. they start doing the, and I'm concerned about the escalation because now, and I'm going to flip this to Jeff, who's got something on this and he found that I hadn't seen yesterday. And that is, you know, you've got these missiles now. It's like, how is Iran getting itself back together? It's aiming for Jordan. It's aiming for Saudi. And you've got the rest of the Middle East going, holy crap, this is getting worse.
Starting point is 01:21:23 And Pat, that's the thing that I see. I see that other people are getting drawn into it. and it's not just big brother the United States going after Iran. At some point in time, the other people that knew Iran was the bad guy on the block, but just kind of tolerated it and kind of held it and checked. It's like, how are they getting after it? How are they firing these missiles? Where are they getting the navigation and the targeting intelligence?
Starting point is 01:21:50 We know the Russians are whispering to them and giving them targeting intelligence because the Russians are still pissed off that we were whispering to Ukraine and giving Ukraine targeting intelligence to launch rockets the other way into Russia with that war. And so now the Russians are back on the other side. Turn about this fair play, comrade, because I will tell the Iranians
Starting point is 01:22:10 where all of your shit is in Jordan. I think, you know, I'm going to disagree a little bit, Tom. I think there is progress. I think it's difficult to see. First of all, that Saudi Arabia joined the U.S. again. The more pressure that's applied, the more you see these Gulf states instead of trying to bend Trump's,
Starting point is 01:22:28 ear to end this thing. We've got to get this thing or we've got to get oil flowing. Instead, they're saying, you know what, we're actually going to join you because I think they see incremental progress that maybe we don't necessarily see. I think the strategy here, again, they have not been clear about the strategy or what this is really about. I still think it's about China the Cold War. I think the ultimate red line here is not the nuclear program. It's the control of the Strait of Hormuz for the long run. And hopefully the fall of the Iranian regime, which I still think is possibility. I think that's why the Saudis and the UAE The UAE too, the UAE is heavily involved in this on the U.S. side too.
Starting point is 01:23:01 I think what the idea here is, instead of an all-out conflict, instead of just invading Karg Island and going from there, bombing the crap out of everything, this is a pressure campaign. And the pressure campaign whose goal is to separate the IRGC from the civilian leadership. Because like you said, the civilian leadership will say one thing that looks like they're trying to find an off-ramp to the war, and then the IRGC will start fighting back. I think there is a pressure campaign to drive a wedge between at least those two factions if they're not other factions. And it's working.
Starting point is 01:23:33 It's working to the point where the Saudis say, you know what, maybe we're going to join the site who wins here. And I'm not saying this is going to be done with imminently. I'm saying that it does appear to be fractioning the Iranian leadership, as much as they can possibly have an Iranian leadership. And that the ultimate goal here is to separate those two completely so that the IRGC loses all of its ability to affect the, the outcome of the war, the outcome of Iran. And eventually what emerges, at least what we hope emerges, is a more moderate faction of Iranian government that is actually trustworthy enough to make a peace deal.
Starting point is 01:24:06 I think that's what they're working toward. And I think they are making progress to it. It's just painfully slow and incremental. Where are those missiles coming from, do you think? That's China. I mean, we all know it. Let's just say it. I mean, there was reports all over the media yesterday,
Starting point is 01:24:19 day before, I forget what it was. This week, this week, that the Chinese are supporting shoulder launch, or they're likely to be supplying shoulder launch missile. And three weeks ago, we found that they were sending the raw material, and we named the chemical on this podcast, and we had evidence and receipts of brought forward, remember this, Pat, that China was sending the dry chemical
Starting point is 01:24:40 that's necessary to build, oh, rocket propellant. It literally has no other real commercial use other than to make rocket propellant, and there's big and cargo ships full of it we're heading to around. So what's going on? Well, Trump made that maybe a couple of, months ago. He said that, you know, when there was a ship full of military goods or hardware or, you know, precursor military goods, right?
Starting point is 01:24:59 Precursimates. Are you guys talking about the same China that's because they're sending missiles there? Is this the same China that sent COVID here in 2020? No, I'm being that same country. That's a different kind of a missile. But it's the same idea. It's the same idea. It's the same idea. It's not like they hate America or they want to be bigger than America. Not at all. No, not at all.
Starting point is 01:25:16 It's a cold war. In a cold war, you expect your adversary to do everything they possibly can to a... Shouldn't be surprised. A closing point on this. Our arms were being tested in Ukraine when we sent some of our newer stuff, ground stuff, over there in Ukraine was testing against Russian soldiers. Now China is testing some of their stuff against us through Iran. Yeah, let me get to the next story.
Starting point is 01:25:37 And Adam, I'm going to come to you with this one here. Hamas agrees to complete disarmament under historic Gaza agreement. This is Fox News. Trump announced a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas. Again, progress, right? Yeah, I agree. All other armed groups in Gaza, a broker by his Board of Peace alongside
Starting point is 01:25:53 mediators, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. Today, the Board of Peace reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Amos and other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step towards lasting peace and security. Trump said on truth, social. Multi-phased agreement represents a major milestone in implementing Trump's 20-point plan
Starting point is 01:26:12 and will pave the way for a new Palestinian government in Gaza with a new police force established with support from international stabilization force. Israel forces will withdraw from the region as the disarmament process moves towards structured phases under the agreement. Gaza will finally be able to hand hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its people. Trump said the threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will not be allowed to rebuild the Board of Peace said the next phase will focus on implementation. With Gaza beginning a phase transition towards full authority while accelerating efforts to establish the rule of law, improve security and advanced humanitarian conditions.
Starting point is 01:26:48 I have a lot to say on this. Adam, your thoughts on this story. I know you're in Israel right now. So maybe a part of it I want to get is while you're out there and this announcement's breaking, how are people also reacting to this story there? Are they optimistic, pessimistic, or on standby? Well, I'm in Tel Aviv right now. I think the feeling on the ground here is cautiously optimistic.
Starting point is 01:27:08 They've been living under missiles and rockets for years now, so they don't exactly trust Amaz. But here's the good news. Here's what I've seen firsthand. Going to Jerusalem. Yesterday I was on the border of Syria. I was on the border of Lebanon. I was the border of Jordan. I walked by the sea of Galilee.
Starting point is 01:27:26 I've seen the following here in Israel. Here's a good example. I've seen Jews, Muslims, and Christians living in peace and harmony within Israel. And I think there's a relative crossing of the fingers and hoping that something can happen in Gaza and potentially in the West Bank. The coexistence here is actually magical. People think there's some sort of apartheid here. I had a Muslim taxi driver. I had a Christian tour guide.
Starting point is 01:27:54 I have a Jewish person checking in the hotel. You can coexist. And if you want another example, look at what's going on in the UAE. But there's three things that I've realized Bibi and the government want to do with Gaza. And it's three things. It's number one, disarm. And that's basically what the Board of Peace is talking about. Number two, it's demilitarized.
Starting point is 01:28:12 They say there will be peace when Hamas puts down their guns. And until then, there's no peace. And the last thing is de-radicalize. I've talked to many soldiers that have been to Gaza, that have been to certain places all around the world, and they go into the bedrooms of kids' bedrooms. And in the bedrooms, there's rocket launchers, missiles, and they open the books.
Starting point is 01:28:34 And of course, there's the Quran, their respect. And they open the books and the math books, and I swear, hand on the Bible, hand to God, they say, here's how they do math. If you have three Jews and you kill one Jew, How many Jews do you have left? Well, you have two Jews left. Great, that's their math here.
Starting point is 01:28:52 So there's a hope here that they come around. There's Palestinians living in Israel who say, I would never go back to living in the West Bank. I would never go back to living under Hamas control because life is pretty damn good here in Israel. So here's my hope and prayer, and I'll tell you this. Look at what's going on in the UAE. Gaza could be Singapore right now.
Starting point is 01:29:13 Could be a rich country. I wish you could see what I'm looking at. Gaza is 20 minutes away, 20 minutes away from where I'm out right now. The beaches are beautiful. You're on the most incredible border of the sea. I hope and pray that they realize that you can focus on GDP, gross domestic product, and not GDP, gross domestic terrorism, and have peace and prosperity for your people.
Starting point is 01:29:34 And that will happen when the Palestinian people in Hamas want to live with a beautiful opportunity rather than destroy the state of Israel, because here's the news. Israel isn't going anywhere. Israel is the bad man on the block at this point and they want nothing but peace and I hope and pray that that's what happens with Trump's Board of Peace here in Israel And by the way, the question I got
Starting point is 01:29:56 And Jeff, I'm going to come to you with this one I'm curious, if you read this thing here Hamas agrees to completely disarmament under historic God's agreement And bring in a real democracy type of thing that they want to do They're not an easy thing to do It's going to be very complicated. If we use this as an example case study for Iran,
Starting point is 01:30:20 do you think Trump is now at a point where the only thing he sees going with Iran is the elimination of IRGC and also replacing with a normal democracy where the Iranian people can be free? Do you think in his mind that's also success and that's also what they want to do here? Or no, that's a much bigger animal you're going with that's going to be more complicated than Hamas. No, that's what they're going for. I guarantee you. Why do you believe that?
Starting point is 01:30:46 Because what would, it would have to be worth it, right? Why launch something like this that has the potential to wreck the entire global economy? The memorandum of understanding some people would say, well, he got to a point that he was, if they were willing to keep that, maybe that wasn't a vision of the regime change. You're saying deep down inside he still wants that. Yeah, I don't think that memorandum of understanding was ever going to be. I think that was a ploy to get oil prices to go back down, get the economy flowing again.
Starting point is 01:31:11 I think their goal from the beginning, and I've said this from the beginning, was regime collapse. And I think they think it's attainable. And the roadmap is, if this Gaza agreement plans out, that's the roadmap. Because what Trump has been basically doing here is good cop, bad cop. The bad cop is you want to continue to do what you're doing, I'm going to kill you. And you can't stop me. He has shown time and time again, he has the resolve to keep it up and keep it up and keep it up.
Starting point is 01:31:36 Everyone says he tacos. Where do you see that? Do you actually see that anywhere in Iran? He keeps doing it. So the bad cop routine is, you keep it. Opposing us, you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to be dead. The good cop is if you join us, if you join the Western community, you will be a prosperous society using all the Trumpian language. You can't believe how great it's going to be. It's going to be beautiful. It's going to be huge. And he's not wrong. So the idea here is the carrot is join us. Put down your arms, become a peaceful, loving society, will embrace you. You'll live in prosperity in peace and safety. You'll be able to raise your families and go to school, everything that we take for granted in the West. That doesn't just apply to Gaza. It applies.
Starting point is 01:32:16 I think that is their roadmap to Iran. And I think the reason why this conflict is still going and still escalating is because they believe it's still a deal. Do you agree with them? Here's the one thing that I'm questioning at him, because you're there. From what I've seen, Gaza was completely destroyed. Where is Hamas? I'm curious to, I thought the goal was to destroy Hamas. They should be all gone.
Starting point is 01:32:39 Where is Hamas? What leadership? I thought mission accomplished, killed all the freaking totality. and everything. I've seen videos where it's just completely leveled at them. Who are they negotiating with? Probably in Spain. I'm very curious. Well, that's what I'm, and I'm, and I'm, I'm being genuinely inquisitive. I don't know, because what I thought it's a victory, meaning you killed, yeah, a lot of innocent lives were gone, but I thought Hamas was gone. Well, can I answer that? Yeah, of course. I'm asking you. Sure. Well, how do you kill an ideology? You know, the, the, the reality is they decimated Gaza. They took out all their leadership. they took out a lot of their military capabilities, but these are people who've been indoctrinated for decades
Starting point is 01:33:20 to not have a peaceful, prosperous society to destroy Israel. So how do you change that? I can tell you this, Israel is a lot more concerned about Hezbollah to the north or the IRGC out and Iran than they are in Gaza. The running joke here is that it's suicide bombers and terrorists in sandals. But I had lunch today.
Starting point is 01:33:40 It's almost eight o'clock, sorry, six o'clock at night. here in Israel. And I had lunch today with Trey Yankst, who you might recognize him from Fox News. He's their chief correspondent. He said, listen, I said, what's going on here, man? And he said, look, here's my take. And he speaks to Trump all the time. Like literally, has Trump's number, calls him. And he says, people respect my honesty. He said, here's what's going on in Iran, specifically. And I'll shift over to Hamas and Gaza. He says, you have the IRGC and you have the moderates. And in Iran, they're jockeying for position. And the reality is, you don't know who's going to win this escapade here. IRGC is fanatical. They do not want to lose control,
Starting point is 01:34:19 whereas the moderates are basically saying, can we just figure this thing out? That's essentially what's going on in Gaza. You have the average Palestinian who just wants a normal life. They look at the rest of the world and say, please, can we join the rest of the world where Hamas has this deep-sown ideology that they won't break? So how do you negotiate with that? Here's my opinion with Trump. I could be wrong. This is why I think Trump, wants total victory. Who did Trump kill from Iran that has the most importance in Iranian IRGC society? Two people. He killed the Ayatollah and he killed Soleimani. That's basically their pope and their national treasure, right? BVD, is that right? Yes. So I think the way that
Starting point is 01:35:03 Trump is looking at this, you know, that he thinks that unless he actually decimates the IRGC, they're going to try to kill him or try to kill his family. Why do I feel that? Why am I so convinced of that? It's because they actually attempted to do that. Do you know there's two people sitting in American jails right now? One guy's name is Asif Merchant, who is a Pakistani national. The other guy's name is Farhad Shakin as an Afghani national living in Iran who are in jail right now because they tried to kill Trump.
Starting point is 01:35:31 So you talk about geopolitics. For me, there might be a portion of this that's deeply personal where Trump says, if I don't eliminate this regime, this IRGC, and this horrible ideology, they might not only kill me, they might come after my family. So it's personal, but it's also geopolitical, and unless the moderates win in Iran and in Gaza and in Lebanon and all around the world, the fanaticals could basically come back again. And that's the hope, is that the moderates beat the fanaticals within those countries that have those countries hostage. Well, how do the moderates win? question. The moderates win when Trump gives them a realistic option on both sides.
Starting point is 01:36:12 Realistic option is number one, you'll keep opposing us. We're going to blow you out. We're going to blow you up. You're going to be gone. We're going to eliminate you if you keep opposing us. You make that realistic, which I think Trump has already made his mind clear. And the other part of it is where this Gaza deal, if it goes through, you're right, Vinny, who the hell are they negotiating with? Who knows? But the other part of it is you make that for the moderates, you give them a realistic pathway to prosperity because you're right. And what you just said, most people in Gaza just want to live their lives like the rest of us do. And so if you give them a realistic pathway, you oppose us, you die, you join us, you have a safe, prosperous society.
Starting point is 01:36:45 If he can make that case realistic to the people in Gaza, to the people in Israel, to the people in Iran, there is a path forward. But, you know, if only it was that easy. How familiar are you guys in Shia Islam with this whole 12th imam? Are you familiar with this concept? I'm learning this while I'm in Israel. We want peace and prosperity. We want to have a long, beautiful life. There's a faction of the IRGC that has the Shia ideology
Starting point is 01:37:12 that they want to die. They want to blow up the world. So how do you negotiate with somebody that says, oh yeah, I'll kill you? I'll kill myself and I'll take everyone out with it. That's the challenge right now. How do you negotiate with people that are willing to die and kill their own people?
Starting point is 01:37:27 You don't negotiate with those people. You just eliminate them until the vast majority of the population sees that it's a dead end. But unfortunately, Like a whack-em-old, we'll go forever. Yeah, I mean, that's the downside. This is for me why Hamas is different than Iran, because Iran's got actual power. Yes.
Starting point is 01:37:42 Hamas doesn't have the kind of power Iran has. And if you guys remember, I don't know when this was, a few months ago when I became critical, no, this was a year ago when I became critical of Rasa Palabi. Yes. And I said a few words, and a couple guys came up, just shut the fuck, we got this. You don't need to fuck the fuck.
Starting point is 01:37:59 Remember all those messages are coming. I got them for you. I got it. I sat down. and believe it or not, what ended up happened with me is, I sat down and one day I come home, my dad is sitting there, he's like, tell me
Starting point is 01:38:11 what you're doing. I said, Dad, I don't think this is the right guy that's going to get the job done, right? This is my dad. And he says, you may be right, but what if he does? What if he does? And I got some calls from friends and relatives
Starting point is 01:38:27 from a man that I respect a lot. His son gave me a message and my hope is that you guys can unify and find a way to do things. and I reached out to try to say something and I was on the show, one Iranian TV show that I was on, and I told the guys that I reached out, I haven't heard back, who do you think you are from to reach out? I said, oh, this is where you guys are right?
Starting point is 01:38:44 No problem. We got it. Leave us alone. Really? Okay, no problem. I could have played a role for you, but no problem. I left it alone. Do you know how my phone is blown up right now
Starting point is 01:38:54 with what types of messages? These are the messages my phone is blown up with. Pat, this is one of the biggest supporters of Rezaa Pallaby who criticized me in a very. video that went viral all over the place. Pat, I want to reach out to you and tell you that I come to realize that you are right about RP. Weird.
Starting point is 01:39:12 And he goes into breaking it down and where he's at now, what he wants to do that. I got one of the biggest media guys, contact me. Hey, Patrick, let's put a big event together in New York. Please consider putting this together. Bring in power players. We may do so. We may do so. But where it is today for me, this is an event that was taking place, Lindsay Graham's
Starting point is 01:39:30 funeral. You can see Reza Palavi to the left is trying to get. close to Trump. And this was one of the clips that was going viral. There's a resapalavi to the left. You will see in a minute right there. You see him right there and he's seen Trump walking. He can pause right there. I think he had a meeting with Netanyahu. Look, he's doing his part behind closed doors. He's doing his part. He is trying to do his part. But something's not landing with Trump. Something is simply not landing with Trump. And to not be able to get Trump to be there,
Starting point is 01:40:06 you're going to have a hard time. You're going to need his support to go out there and do something with us. So I don't know. Sometimes you hope diplomacy takes place and it takes place more than your ego, your pride, and I hope that happens, but I've never, the team that he has around him, I don't know what they feed this man
Starting point is 01:40:23 to make him believe that he is, walks on water, to not be able to do certain things. I think he can't play a very important role, but with this Iran's situation where they're going right now, Now, you need a figurehead. Not the guy to me, it's like, well, why don't we do it without a figure, or let's just do it like, you know, movement. I'm like, no, you need a face, you need a voice,
Starting point is 01:40:42 you need somebody ahead of it. I stepped away to say, go. I won't criticize, but we'll see. We'll see what's going to be happening. This is it. This article, Reuters says, regime change in San Reza Palabi's faltering bid to elite Iran. The son of Iran's last shot says, Islamic Republic is on the brink of collapse,
Starting point is 01:40:58 and he is the bridge to the democratic future, but he's contending with violence by some supporters. discontent among donors and rejecting by the Trump administration. If you can't win Trump over, the next administration is not going to be on your side. Let me say this one more time. If you cannot win the president over, you have never had a leader during your 47, 48 years of trying to do this, that is more capable of you being able to bring freedom back to Iran than this guy. You have to figure out a way to get in front of them, not the other way around.
Starting point is 01:41:29 You, you're not a prince. You're a man today. because Iran's not a monarchy. You were a prince in 1978, maybe the first two weeks of January of 79. Since then, you've not been a prince. You're just Reza Pahlavi. To everybody else you are,
Starting point is 01:41:46 but to the loyalist monarchists, which you have a lot of respect for, let me tell you, the loyalist monarchists also have some of the nastiest people out there. Some of the nastiest people, not all of them, but they have their own 10 to 20% that are just as bad as the IRGC fanatical type of people.
Starting point is 01:42:01 They're very, very similar. You know, like the woke left and the woke right? It's the fanatical I or you see and the fanatical monarchy. They got a lot in common. God forbid you question anything. They can't do it. But more of them are coming to their senses.
Starting point is 01:42:15 And more of them are sitting there saying, maybe we need a different route. Anyways, Adam, I think you wanted to say something, but I want to get to the next story. So 30 seconds. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you, this is a little anecdotal, but everything you just said,
Starting point is 01:42:28 I've experienced here in Israel. I can't tell you how many people have come out to me. Like, hey, what's up? Big fan of the show. This one lady came up to me. I swear. She goes, how do I know you? I go, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:42:38 She goes, you're a podcast or something? Oh, yeah. She goes, what podcast? I go, Peabody podcast. She goes, with Patrick Bed David? I go, yeah, she goes, that guy. You know, she goes, I was a big fan of Reza Palo V. I didn't like what he was saying about RP.
Starting point is 01:42:51 I didn't like that. I said, well, what do you think now? She goes, I have to be honest. He's a nice guy, but he's not the leader. He's not strong enough. He's not strong enough. So I go, are you saying that PBD was right? She goes, PBD was right.
Starting point is 01:43:07 And I go, okay, thank you. I'll let Pat know. But I'm experiencing that myself here in the Middle East. You have to be a badass gangster in order to win here in the Middle East. That's the reality. He seems like a nice guy. But he ain't that dude. You called him Jeb Bush.
Starting point is 01:43:21 I remember that. You called him Jeb Bush. And I think that's probably the utmost. And Jeb Bush is a nice guy. He's a very nice guy. He's also accomplished and successful, but he's not the guy. guy to do this. Yeah, you called it from the beginning.
Starting point is 01:43:32 Please clap. Please clap for Jeb Bush. Yeah, please. He's got better hair than Jeff. You're so funny. All right, let's go to the next story. I'm going to get to the next story. So look, there's a reason why Florida is Florida.
Starting point is 01:43:44 Because these guys, they're good at what they do. The Santis is like nonstop, common sense, working out a bunch of different things. Let me give you one of them here. That is interesting. Parents in Florida are being given the choice to opt out their kids in or out of AI tools in the class. By the way, this is a sick, six, six story, which is great for the future to be bright.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Before I get into it, for some of the guys that don't yet have your future looks by the last couple of weeks, we've been putting the future looks bright shoes. It's been selling a, I love how it's around the world now, like 50 plus countries of people that are picking up these shoes. I'm wearing it today. I was at the doctor's office yesterday.
Starting point is 01:44:24 One guy shows up to me, he says, hey, let me see the shoes. Where the future? And he says, look what I got. I got my future looking at. bright Yetty and he says, hey Pat, can you and Tom sign it? It was hilarious. Good looking guy. Phenomenal guy. Shout out,
Starting point is 01:44:36 you know who you are. So, by the way, before we do that, I want you to watch this video. Go for it. Connor, if you got to play plus the ball. When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast. We had the choice to make it cheap. We chose neither.
Starting point is 01:44:53 Instead, we chose Tuscanyero. We chose true Italian craftsmanship. Each pair touched by 50. skill pants. We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step, introducing the Future Looks Bright collection. Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary, rather intentional, luxurious, timeless. There you go. Go to vtemerge.com to place an order and make sure your sizes are there. Okay, that's the biggest thing because everybody says, We got a whole new shipment, so a lot of new sizes are to go to VTemerge.com, place to order for
Starting point is 01:45:36 yourself, your son, your husband, or one of your coworkers. Let's get into the story. Parents on Florida being given choice to opt their kids in or out of AI tools in classes. Parents will not have the choice to opt at their kids out of using artificial and educational, instructional tools and classrooms, setting under a new rule being considered by the Florida Department of Education, the proposed changes to this Internet safety policy would set minimum requirements for schools districts to adopt regarding the use of AI for educational purposes. Tom, why is this such a big deal and do you support it? I support it and below the surface, there's a bunch of things. Look at what their...
Starting point is 01:46:11 Can we run a poll about how many parents would like to see this happen in their states? Do you support of the state allowing you to opt in or opt out or do you not care? Let's just run a poll. Go ahead, Tom. Fantastic. Well, for everybody here at the table that's got kids or like Vinny, you may have nieces or nephews or your friends have kids, here's what parents may get. Dear parent, we're going to be using an AI tool. This is the AI tool that will be used. This is how much time that will be spent in class with it.
Starting point is 01:46:38 This is the instructional use and topics for it. And we'd also like to know, do you approve of that? And would you like to limit the amount of time your child uses for any of these tools? If you opt in, you can limit the time that we use. And we're also saying that the tools will not replace, quote, the professional judgment of teachers, or, quote, the primary right of parents to direct the upbringing education of their children, and the rules forbid tools that are subject students, undisclosed behavior monitored, social scoring, or psychological profiling. So this is fantastic. So if you got that as a parent, Pat, hey, here's the tool.
Starting point is 01:47:22 Do you want to opt in? Here's the list. Opt in, opt out. And then also, here's the amount of time. and you may say, look, they can use it to do the research on the science project, but I don't want them using it all day. Only what's necessary for the lesson. I think it's great, and it puts the power. And more importantly, it demands answers from the parents.
Starting point is 01:47:43 Now the question is, will they be able to get these yapping hyenas called the teachers union to actually cause the teachers to follow it in the classroom? That's going to be the question is can the state of Florida work successfully with teachers union? You remember how much fun teachers unions are, Pat. You've dealt with a couple. So they have to enforce it. But the parents are going to be able to put it all out there and get a very formalized form that they respond to. What do you have to? I agree.
Starting point is 01:48:14 No, this is the way education should work. Again, the proper process and proper procedure is parents first, school second. So if they would do more of this instead of trying to hide curriculum and hide methodology, and you're right, Tom, teachers' unions are going to be a difficult one. There was that story in the notes here about that upstate New York-Salamanca school that was going to pilot program an AI sort of robot teacher, and of course that caused a big thing. This is the wave of the future. This is going to happen.
Starting point is 01:48:44 So the way to lead into the future is exactly this way. To give parents information ahead of time, I mean, not every parent's going to make an informed decision. they're going to be emotional, whatever. But if you give them more information about what you intend to do, what problem you're intending to solve with this technology and how you intend to use it, it is far superior than just, you know, bearing it down deep into the curriculum,
Starting point is 01:49:07 bearing it down deep into teachers' days, how they actually operate a classroom, and nobody knows until it's actually ensconce and everything in there. Because this is such a transformational technology, we need to be upfront and transparent from the very beginning. I will tell you this time. You know where I'm at with this. So let me ask you, if they reach out to you to opt in or opt out, what are you going to say?
Starting point is 01:49:27 I'm going to go down the list of what they're using, and I'm going to make my decisions. If it's for research purposes and pulling together the thing that saves time, I'm probably in. If it's actually running a model, like you give stuff and it runs the model faster, like making compounds or chemistry formulas, that I'm probably in. If it's commentary, like on reading and books, I'm probably out. I want my kid to read the book, and I want them to develop the commentary in their own words. Are you pretty aligned with them on that? Yeah, if it's used for as an evaluation tool, then it's certainly, I think that's where it should be.
Starting point is 01:50:00 As far as instruction, are you right, anything about the commentary, that's, no, we're not anywhere close to that. But as far as helping teachers or helping school districts, evaluate the effectiveness of classrooms, teachers, processes, everything that goes into education. If it's a tool to help evaluate that, that's certainly a problem. Do you think it's more annoying to be a teacher today or 20 years ago? It's a harder today or 20 years ago? years ago. Today. I can speak from, you know, absolute and informed position because my wife's been a teacher for 30 years, and it is more difficult today, partly because of what parents expect the schools to do for discipline and other kids and really poor parenting, number one, and number
Starting point is 01:50:38 two, you get a lot of interference from the government about what you can and can't teach, and Kim's going back to school next week, and one of the things they will be doing, Pat, is they will be doing shooter response training. And so you're living in a world where actually part of going back to school is the teachers, here's the tools, here's the lockdown, here's the things you have to work with for a live shooter. And it just, all of that comes together to say it's very hard to be a teacher. And that's why New York wants to put robots in. Yeah, I want to read this to you.
Starting point is 01:51:10 I want to read this to you. College professor busted 32 out of 35 students use an AI on a final after they all made the same lazy mistake. New York Post story. A professor snuck an extra test into a student's final exam prompt and revealed that 32 out of 35 failed using AI to complete their assignment. Jason Gibson, who teaches history at Alcorn State University, Mississippi, inserted instruction to place the word Madagascar somewhere in the response in a way that makes no sense in white ink. So any student copying the text into an AI bot would cause it to follow the invisible instruction.
Starting point is 01:51:40 The result, 32 out of 35 students managed to shoehorn a mention of the African Island nation into their essays about the Industrial Revolution. I explain to my students all the time that it's like compound interest in banking. Gibson, 34 years old, told the Post, when you're reading something, you're engaging with material, you're compounding knowledge,
Starting point is 01:51:58 and you are robbing yourself on a daily basis by just putting a prompt into AI. The results were absurd and instantly exposed. Those who had cut and pasted the AI unprecedented global connectivity without reading the results. Back to one student wrote, the digital age has created unprecedented global connectivity,
Starting point is 01:52:14 much like a journey to Madagascar might have been once influenced by family visit another reed. Madagascar floats sideways through the afternoon. Other mentions including Madagascar's purple bicycle whispers to the ceiling and Madagascar wore a toaster to a basketball game. Gibson was shocked to find the word
Starting point is 01:52:31 in more than 90% of response. I had no clue that it would be 30 out of two, 32 out of 35. He said, I was expecting maybe 10 or less. He got the idea from TikTok where students have posted videos discovering white text in their own assignments. Kudos to this guy.
Starting point is 01:52:45 How do you feel about what he did? What do you think about this teacher Gibson? Snyder. Oh, I think it's brilliant. I think we're going to see a lot more of this. I love this. It's essentially asking people to self-identify and self-select. If you're a lazy student, what better way to reveal your laziness than just to copy and paste and do AIBot?
Starting point is 01:53:01 And you're going to see this not just in the classroom. You're going to see corporations and HR departments use this as a screening process. You know, you don't want an employee who just does the absolute minimum in copying, pasting. So using these kinds of things to help identify what people are like. I can tell you a true story about one of my teachers. We were in a class, and I was in high school, and there was like 25 kids in the class, and it wasn't a very big classroom, so we're pretty close together. Why is that important?
Starting point is 01:53:29 Because when it came time to take a test, people would do this, Pat. You know, you act like you're taking a test, and you have your hand on your forehead like this, if you see what I'm doing. I'm really looking right over there. So here's what the teacher did. He did odds and evens. He switched the odd and even questions on every other row of the class. So everybody in this row, all the people in front of me and behind me, we had the odd test.
Starting point is 01:53:53 The people on our right and left had the even test. So if we're copying the ABCD, we're copying wrong because their questions were adjusted. So you had people that suddenly got every answer in a row wrong. And so teachers have been trying for years to do things to ensure integrity in the classroom. And God bless him. And I love this guy at Alcorn State. Did you see what Elon said about school and AI? He was on this podcast and he says, don't go to medical school.
Starting point is 01:54:24 It's pointless. Let's see it. Yeah, go ahead. Optimist will be a better surgeon than the best surgeons. How long for that? Three years. Three years. Any surgeon.
Starting point is 01:54:37 And by the way, that's it. three years at scale. Yes. All of a sudden. There will probably be more optimist robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth. All surgeons. But that's an important statement in three years' time.
Starting point is 01:54:51 Yeah. Because that is, I mean, sir. I'm not like absolutely certain, but I'd say, if it's four or five, I'd be absolutely certain. If it's four or five years, who cares? Look, look, you're going to say it. He's like three years. Yes.
Starting point is 01:55:04 Better than any. He said four years definitely. I'd say, if you're like, Put a little margin on it better than any human in four years. Any human... By five years, it's not even close. I think your point was medicine is going to be effectively free.
Starting point is 01:55:19 The best medicine in the world is effectively to everybody. Everyone will have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now. So don't go into medical school. Yes. You're pointless. Unless you... But I would say that applies to any form of education.
Starting point is 01:55:36 There's not like some... I do it for social reasons. I do it for... Hey, I went to college. So what do you do for a living? I'm a social worker. Really? No, I'm a cardiologist, but I'm doing it for social reasons.
Starting point is 01:55:51 So it's going to be who, like, it's not going to be like, hey, what college you go to? It's like, what robot do you have and what program is it running on? So that's coming from Elon. Yeah. Five years. All right. Well, we'll see.
Starting point is 01:56:00 I got something for you. Adam, go ahead. Well, speaking from experience, You definitely don't want to cheat while you're in school. Not that I would ever do anything like that. Not that I would ever sneak notes into class or use cliff notes or maybe even write notes on my hands. But here's what I've learned, that if it was easy, everyone would do it. Right now, everyone would put Madagascar on their test and they failed because we're living no longer in the information age.
Starting point is 01:56:28 It's the validation age. And I tell my nephew this all the time. I said, dude, you don't need social media yet. You're 13 years old. You don't need a phone yet, and you don't need to be using AI to get the answers. Find the answer yourself. Because at the end of the day, you're only cheating yourself if you actually don't know the information. My fear is this.
Starting point is 01:56:49 We're going to have a generation of young kids looking down nonstop, have zero ability to basically figure things out themselves, the answers at the tip of their fingertips, and we're going to have, what's that movie that we always talk about? Hold on, let me AI. Idiocracy. Yeah. Just idiots. walking around that can't figure out things of themselves. So I hope that kids actually put in the work, get smarter, and not just rely on AI or social media or anything like that to get the answers.
Starting point is 01:57:17 Life changing advice. Thank you, Adam. Just like life changing, man. I mean, it's just, I don't know what to tell you. People's lives was just changed. By the way, Pat, I actually read that entire segment from the notes that I wrote in my hand. I believe you. I believe you. Okay, let's go to the next story. Next row I want to get to is I got a few of them I want to get to, but I'm going to go to this one here. The Santa signing bill requiring schools to teach accurate history of communism. So what does this mean? Accurate history of communism. The Santa signed legislation on ones that require an age and developmentally appropriate instruction.
Starting point is 01:57:56 The history of communism, Florida school, beginning 2026, 2027 school year. The curriculum will cover atrocities committed under communist regimes abroad. the increasing threat of communism in the United States and the communist policies and practices of Cuba and Latin America, DeSantis said many universities across the country tried to rehabilitate communism, and Florida will instead tell the truth and the evils of communism and unprecedented death toll in 20th century.
Starting point is 01:58:18 Florida Education Commissioner Mani Diaz Jr. said the bill ensures students learn history so that our students in Florida are not apt to repeat the history. Senator Jay Collins, who sponsored the bill, warned that we fought in the 80s, that communism and socialism was dead, and that we took our foot off the gas pedal, but they never went away. So, you know, before I come to you guys, when we first came here, we went and interviewed at a lot of different schools. We went to St. Andrews.
Starting point is 01:58:45 We went to American Heritage in Boka, had a horrible experience with a lady name Cobos. I think her name was Patricia Cobos, something Cobos. Am I saying the name correctly, Tom? I think that's right, Patty. Patty Cobos, yes. and had multiple meetings. I said, okay, we'll never going to do anything with American Heritage.
Starting point is 01:59:05 We took all our kids out. And then we looked at St. Andrews, had a very good experience with St. Andrews, but it was too this too far from us. And then eventually we went to, what's the local school, the big one? Prestonwood? Preston, what's the local?
Starting point is 01:59:21 Pinecrest. Pinecrest. And while we went to Pinecrest, I went for the interviews, and a lady sits in front of me, and I asked basic question, ma'am, what does this, What's this school's position on capitalism, socialism, and communism?
Starting point is 01:59:34 I ask everybody the same question. The only one that gave me this answer was her. And she said to me, she said, well, we teach our kids the pros and cons of each economical system. I said, what's the pro-communism? And so she's like, well, there's some benefits to each of these economical systems. I said, I understand that, but where do you guys lie? He says, well, no, our students need to know the pros and cons of communism, socialism, socialism, we want the kids to have a balanced understanding of all three.
Starting point is 02:00:10 Let me tell you what month this is. Tom, what month would this have been? December of 2020-ish, you know, November of 2020-ish, because it's right before we're moving. He has something like that. It's late 20, early 21. Yes, right. Okay. Yep, pip.
Starting point is 02:00:24 So we're doing these interviews. In a moment the lady answered the question, and Pynchrist is the place everybody wants to put their kids there. Yeah. Oh, my God, Pinechrist, this, Pinecrest. I walked out, I said, Jen, there's no way in the world. I want to put my kids in a place that are teaching pros. Proes of communism. And cons of communism.
Starting point is 02:00:43 And you think there are pros. I said, I'm out. That's all she had to say. I got in the car, I said, if the person that's recruiting kids and parents, and when you go to Pinecrest, you know how all of them are? Like, you are so lucky to do this and all this. I said, this is an unattractive thing. We were trying to get a couple of our kids into that place. I said, we're out.
Starting point is 02:01:03 I would rather teach values and principles than even give a glimpse of pros of communism after how many tens of millions of people died because of communism. So how do you feel about the story? Because some people would sit there and say, well, don't you want to give freedom of speech? But this is not really a freedom of speech. It is forcing teachers who we know 98% of English teachers are Democrats. They put their money on the left. We know what campaigns they support.
Starting point is 02:01:26 A lot of these are Bernie people. Now they have to actually be forced to see. bad things about communism and socialism. How do you force these socialist teachers to do that? You can't force them to do that. They're still going to put their own spin in it, no, Tom? I think we're back to the comment about the Teachers Union and how do you control the yapping hyenas that pledge allegiance to the teachers' union
Starting point is 02:01:49 and the liberalism that goes with it and the 95% donation rate to Democrat and liberal candidates. You know, Florida suddenly reminds me in a good way of the old Phil Hartman. Remember Phil Hartman on Saturday Night Live? One of my favorite. Remember when he was Frankenstein and they were having the debate about things that you? And he's Frankenstein. He goes, fire. Bad!
Starting point is 02:02:14 Well, finally, Florida is taking a page out of that thing. This is communism, bad. And showing it. And I think what's interesting. But that's not the question, though. I want you to focus on the question I'm asking. how do you force a group of deep-rooted socialist? Can you pull up that CNN poll that just came out yesterday
Starting point is 02:02:36 that Snyder showed us that a third of Democrats now, what was the word not accept? They identify as democratic socialist. They identify as democratic socialist. They identify as democratic socialist. Was that a video or was it a article? It was an article. Is this one?
Starting point is 02:02:54 Okay. A third of Democrats now identify as Democratic. Democratic Socialists. Go a little bit lower. About a third of Democrats, zoom in a little bit if you could, identifies Democratic Socialists. There are some of the parties,
Starting point is 02:03:06 staunches supporters, but many are also rearing for party overhaul at a time when the Democratic Socialists are seeing new momentum at polls. Tom, many school teachers are Democratic Socialists. They're the driving force. That's right.
Starting point is 02:03:20 If a third of these guys identifies Democratic Socialists, I'm willing to bet a half of school teachers in public schools Democratic Socialists. How do you get them to say bad things about socialism and communism? It is incredibly difficult, and the state of Florida is about to have a head-on collision with the Teachers Union in Florida. I agree. They're going to have a head-on collision. And what they're going to have to do, the state needs a strong leader at the education level and at the governor level. We can't step back. DeSantis is taking the first steps, and we need fair debates and
Starting point is 02:03:53 fair review of all of our candidates for governors so that the people can make a decision. Because one of the things we want the governor to say is, I will support this, and I will go head to head with the teachers union, and teachers that don't want to comply with this, are not following the policies of the state of Florida and have forfeiture opportunity to, hang on, Pat, hold a teaching credential issued by the state in the state of Florida. And you're going to have a head-on collision between that. It's a collision. I welcome. It's going to create up a lot of dust, but you're going to have parents that I think are reacting to this in the right way.
Starting point is 02:04:30 Because what you're going to see is kids come home and say, well, they said this, this, this and this. And conservative parents are going to, that don't have the resources to send their kids to private school or a parochial school or a conservative school are going to say, WTF, Governor DeSantis said that this isn't happening. Well, mom, the teacher just said this, this, and this about socialism. And it was Purple Hair Day. It's going to be nasty. It's going to be nasty. And so how do you do it? The state has to terminate or censure teachers that don't follow the law.
Starting point is 02:05:00 But the teacher union is going to jump in front of it so we have a war coming. Yeah, I think it's going to be nasty because you can't get socialist and communists to not talk about socialism and communism. They can't help themselves. They love it. You know, Pat, I got to get in here because this is one of the things I talk about a lot. Why do we have this problem to begin? And I think that's what everybody is struggling in. Where is this popularity of socialism coming from?
Starting point is 02:05:25 And so part of the explanation that's been put forward is we don't teach socialism in school. So if we teach socialism in school, the young people won't fall for it. And therefore we can, no, I think, again, it's misidentifying the problem here. The reason why socialism is rising in popularity is because what the Marxists are saying about the economic situation in this country and around the world resonates with most people. A lot of people, especially young people. The economy sucks and nobody will say so. We talk about the affordability crisis. What? It falls right into the Marxist rhetoric. If you know anything about what Marx is and what Marx actually said, what he said about capitalism was that capitalism always needs new markets to expand toward, because there's always this idea you need more and more profits. They call it infinite growth. Well, Marx said eventually you run out of markets, you run out of land to conquer. You don't have any more markets. So what is a what is a capitalist going to do at that point? What they call it end stage capitalism? You go online. You see end stage capitalism or late stage capitalism everywhere. What marks end stage capital?
Starting point is 02:06:21 capitalism, when the capitalists have no more markets to exploit, because they call it exploitation, they start turning their exploitation inward. And when they turn their exploitation inward, that means that they cut the salaries and wages of all their employees. They exploit their employees now because they have no more markets to exploit. So the average young person on the street who has massive amounts of student loans, they're working at Starbucks, they can't get a job, they can't get even somebody to call them back. We talked about this before. The medium age of a first-time home buyer is fucking 40. So the average person on the street is saying, you know what, that freaking Marx guy, it matches the reality that I'm seeing rather than what I hear from the mainstream,
Starting point is 02:06:58 which is, look at the stock market. Stock market's booming. The economy's terrific. That's why we have a socialism problem because what these people are being taught fits closer to their experience than what they hear from everybody else. I admonish people on the right to get this correct. Admit the economy sucks, and that's the reason why we have a socialism. They have a hard time doing that, and they don't think it's a real thing.
Starting point is 02:07:18 I know. I know it is. That's what needs to be. That's when he's... Yeah, affordability is a myth. Affordability is just something the left is used. The Democrats. Be very, very...
Starting point is 02:07:26 I said this the last two months, and I said, if Rubio or Vance, if one of them comes out and says the following one and says, anybody under the age of 30, you're not paying any federal income taxes until you turn 30 years old. Now, that's going to be a cost, but that's going to get the youth to say, wait, that's a concern. You got saw the other day that Hockel said, no tax on tips, and they asked, is this a Trump thing? She said, I'm not giving it.
Starting point is 02:07:50 this is my idea. And they're like, wait a minute, you didn't come up with this idea. Somebody on the right needs to give the message on affordability. Because watch what's being said in college campuses right now by young girls. I'm going to play you two clips. Again, Nick Shirley out there doing great working for some of you guys that love Nick Shirley. Go Manette him. He's on Manette. Type his name Nick Shirley.
Starting point is 02:08:09 He responds back to pretty much 100% messages on Manick. And that's your way of supporting him. People think Nick Shrew is a deck a million. He's able to do this. He needs support as much as possible. But watch this interview he does with this girl here. Tell me how you feel about this young girl. Is on the rise and what do you think about communism?
Starting point is 02:08:25 I think communism sells. It's such a simple idea and message. It obviously doesn't work at all, but it's something that you could so easily say to a young, naive college person or young person in general. You can say everything should be free and health care should be free and universal and education should be free. But people don't really understand the ramifications behind that statement. So, I mean, this is nothing new.
Starting point is 02:08:48 People have been trying to sell the idea of socialism and communism. for years and years and years. I mean, obviously in pre-Soviet Russia, you had communism. That's where a lot of it started. You had the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks. And the Mensheviks were kind of like your mainstream run-of-the-mill Democrat,
Starting point is 02:09:04 and then you had the Bolsheviks. This was way back in like the 1800s, 1900s. And the Bolsheviks came in. They were kind of like the DSA activists of today. And they said, well, the Mensheviks and the Democrats aren't being radical enough and they aren't promising you all the things that we're promising you.
Starting point is 02:09:19 We can give you fridge. education and universal health care and all these great things, and then they never deliver. So that happened back in the day. It's just like a recurring ideology. History is a big fat circle. And it's happening again because it's such an easy thing. You can pause right there. Because this can go for two minutes.
Starting point is 02:09:35 I want to give you the complete counter of this with another girl that he asked a question. I just want you to see this is a student at NYU. Well-known school. Complete 180 of a response. Go forward. Let's just say somebody who has raped a woman. Would you like them to be out in the street? I think my answer is yes, even though that's a challenging answer to say.
Starting point is 02:10:01 So if you got wrong, would you like you're a rapist to be out in the street? Well, like, let me finish. Because I have been raped. And they are out in the street. And I'm not sure, like, them going to jail is a solution to, like, whatever's going on inside their heart. Or even my own heart that, like, contributed to that experience that I'm having. And I don't want more people to get raped, but I don't know for certain that going into a jail in the United States is going to shift anything inside of their like operating system so that they'll make a different choice again. Wow, thank you guys so much for your time.
Starting point is 02:10:39 Is there one last message you'd like to give the people about potential the rise of communism or freeing the people inside the prisons? Just like free yourself from the own prison in your heart. And then maybe we can. I was raped and I'm totally cool with letting the rapists out in the streets because, hey. But this goes back to Snyder and what he's talking about is, are people born with these ideas? No. Or does somebody sell you on these ideas?
Starting point is 02:11:07 And if there was somebody sold you on these ideas, what percentage of that influences parents? What percentage of that influences teachers? That's the real question. And what percentage is experience? Again, she's exactly right. we've been hearing the communist message over and over again. Communism got very popular when?
Starting point is 02:11:23 In the 1930s. Why was communism popular? In the United States. You're right. In the United States. A couple of times a membership spike. Can you pull up communism membership spikes in the U.S.? Please continue.
Starting point is 02:11:34 My point is that communism spikes in popularity when it matches people's living in effect. What you say is, hell, the situation sucks. Let's try something radical. Put yourself in the shoes of a young person today. Wouldn't you say, yeah, hell, I'd like some free health care or some free this or free that because I can't get that on myself. I can't get to myself. A house, a car, the experience that my parents had is completely out of reach. I have no hope. That message, so what she was saying is that what has changed here is that communism, they've been selling, I remember when I was in
Starting point is 02:12:05 school in the 1980s, they sold us these ideas too. Nobody fell for it because in the 1980s, the economy didn't suck. Everybody could see that, you know, we had the Soviet Union over here that has breadlines. You've got the United States is legitimately booming, prosperity spreading through the world, communism is going to sell in that type of environment. What has changed is the message now sells because it matches too many people's experience. That's the reason. And by the way, if you look at the number right there, it shows 1919, 1921, the Russian Revolution inspired 20 to 30,000 memberships in America, went up to 40,000 plus 33 to 37, and then it went to 85,000 and 42, 75,000 and 47. This is during the Soviet alliance during World War II. And then it dropped in
Starting point is 02:12:48 2016, 17, when Trump got elected to 2 to 5,000, COVID went up to 5 to 15,000. I'm willing to bet today it is resurged. And people are entertaining this idea. Part of it is brainwashing. Part of it is actual challenges in the economy and they're offering a solution. And no matter how much people say about what's his name, Mom Dani. What did a Mom Dani say the other day about grocery stores that we didn't talk about? What did he suggest?
Starting point is 02:13:13 30%. They're released a searchable online. Oh, to make 30% owned, immigrant-owned, 30% less grocery stores. And then the other immigrants in the neighborhood that have all these shops, the bodegas are like, wait a minute, you're going to undercut us. And now they're talking crap by him. So it's immigrant versus immigrant. And they're talking class action suits saying you are intentionally, you know,
Starting point is 02:13:38 dropping your prices in an effort to throw me out of business. And now the city's going to have to prove, oh, no, that's not what we're doing. That's not what's going on. but that's a net effect of it. So this is heading to the courts, and there are independent grocers. Let's find it. So if you think socialism is great,
Starting point is 02:13:54 just look downstream. Look at the outcome. Look at what's going on. Look at the growth of conservatism, but not nearly fast enough, Pat, in Europe in the elections. But it's an uphill battle. You have to get in front of it now.
Starting point is 02:14:06 Batter. Yeah, Adam, thoughts. Well, that beautiful girl that spoke initially, she's absolutely right. And then you have that just, whatever she was, is sad but true. But the reality is capitalism and free markets is beautiful
Starting point is 02:14:22 and communism is ugly. There's another picture I'd like to show. I don't know if we have that. When the Fox News interview was interviewing the head of the DSA or one of the people there, we could show that in a second. But communism sounds good. There you go, right there. Capitalism is the beautiful girl in the yellow
Starting point is 02:14:39 where communism, the head of the DSA co-chair, is whatever that is in the red glasses right there. is basically you're taking a girl home and you wake up and it's a dude because it sounds great on the surface and you wake up and next thing you know you got some sore body parts but Adam whatever personal experiences this is not the place for so you're saying the crying the crying game was a movie about communism why do you think I'm with that's subversive communism that's killed at least 100 million people and they show up in your house unannounced, not a good look. But you said 62% of people under 30 view and the Democratic Party view socialism favorably,
Starting point is 02:15:23 identify as socialist. Is that what it was? This whole identifying as, identifying as a man, there's a problem here. Look, I live in Miami. I went to school in Florida. I wish that I learned about the horrors of communism and the 100 million people that have been killed because of communism. But I had to learn on the streets, the School of Hard Knocks. Do you know how many Soviets basically fled Russia? Move to Miami. Cubans, Venezuelans. There's a lot of red pill communities here to kind of like circle back. Communism is, capitalism is basically teaching somebody how to go up and talk to a girl. Hey man, this is what girls like. Here's what you got to do. be respectful, be firm, whereas communism is basically saying, yeah, just go sexually assault women.
Starting point is 02:16:08 That's what they like. You give some weird analogies at times that you lose me like I'm about to be a communist. What are you talking about? Sign me up. You should like pretty women, not chicks with sticks. And also, it'll make sense in a minute. Can I piggyback on top? Let me just tell this funny story.
Starting point is 02:16:28 Don't piggyback on a communist, buddy. You might end up hurt. 30 seconds. I'll give it to you to wrap up. got to finish up. Had a friend of mine when I was in the army. This guy, poor guy, saved two years of money because his dream was to go to Brazil, to go to that annual, whatever that thing is that happens in Brazil.
Starting point is 02:16:42 What did it call? Carnival in Rio. So he's like, dude, I got to go to Carnival. So I spent my money. He didn't. He saved this money. He goes to Carnival. Goes it for three weeks.
Starting point is 02:16:51 He uses military vacation time. It's a long time to go to Carnival. Vinny, this guy comes back. Oh, no. And I'm like, so, man, tell me, I'm just waiting to hear all the awesome stories. and he's a little bit shaken by it. Oh, no. I said, B, what happened?
Starting point is 02:17:06 He says, well, listen, I met this beautiful girl. I said, really? And then he says, well, then, you know, we went back. And then I had no idea that this beautiful girl had a dangling. No. I said, you're kidding me. He said, no. I said, so is it a dream? Are you ever going to go back to the carnival again?
Starting point is 02:17:22 Or he says, I will never go back to that place ever again. So to some of the people that are watching, just brace for impact. You know, if you choose to go to Carnival, there's like, what did it call it? The cup check? The cup check? Like, do a cup check. Hey, PBD, I told you that story in confidence and I was supposed to be our little super sir.
Starting point is 02:17:42 Listen, it's a perfect timing. Can you imagine that you have to, in some places you have to, anyways, I don't know how to hell we got there, but Adam's weird analogy of capitalism. There's a great song by the kinks called Lola. Go listen to it. This is, this problem has been going. on for decades. All right. So Lola made a comment.
Starting point is 02:18:01 It was a quick thing about Domani. You guys, and Connor, can you look this up? He released a searchable online database to make it easy for everybody to look up. You know the New York property owners
Starting point is 02:18:13 that have second homes that are going to go for that tax? He released it. Basically, it made it easier for people to find them all in one place. This comes after he published the 100 worst New York City landlords. He publicly calling out landlords.
Starting point is 02:18:25 So this is, by the way, and it's piggyback enough of what you said, Jeff, it's not about transparency. He's creating villains. You keep telling people that landlords and wealthy property owners are the reason that they're struggling. Then you hand them a public mat showing them where these people live. Like you don't, what, like he's purposely saying, hey listen, there's the rich people, hear the enemy, go and find them. It's the same communist playbook back. You pick a group, blame them for society's problems, publicly identify them,
Starting point is 02:18:49 and then turn them into the enemy and say to the people, hey, go find these people. Yeah. He knows what he's doing. He knows what he's doing. Okay. All right, guys, good time with you. I thought today's Thursday. It's Friday. I don't even know what's going to stay.
