30 seconds. Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweet that's done me. I know this life man for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. The handshake is better than anything I ever sized. Right here.

You are a 101? My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before. Okay, I think we're officially live. We have one of our guys, Adam, who happens to be out of Jerusalem. Hopefully these guys can figure out the audio in Jerusalem. With all the high IQ money, all the stuff they got going on for themselves, they can't figure out the audio.

It is what it is. We'll figure it out. Nobody's going to be more anti-Semitic than me if my tech guys don't figure it out. Figure it out, fellas. Telling you right now, ladies and gentlemen. We'll see. I mean, we're not New York. Rhode Island has got great service here.

I don't understand. We got a lot of great stories to go through. Tom had to plug in the Rhode Island thing real quick. But we got a lot of stories to go through for all of you, die-hard Rinaldo fans who are celebrating. this weekend to have watched Messi lose. I think Ronaldo fans were the biggest Spain fans yesterday. Die hard.

They were like, yes! You know how I know that? Guess who I took to the game with me yesterday? My son, guess what jersey the guy decided to wear? Ronaldo's jersey. Can you imagine we're in a place? Where the guys that are with us in the suites on front of ours, Will Ferrell's on this side,

Tom Cruise is out there taking pictures talking to you and what do you call it, to Dylan. and somehow Tom Cruise comes and gives a speech to open up the World Cup, which was kind of interesting. But guys, before we get started, Humberto, run a poll real quick. Folks, which one do you prefer? These black glasses?

Okay, until I get my eyes done, these? Or do you prefer the clear? I don't know if we should say white or black because that could be a racist to run. Get canceled on your own podcast, that. So why don't you do black and clear? And Adam, on today's podcast, I'm requesting you not to do a lot of jump-ins

because your audio is, that well. Only when I come to you jump in because the audio needs a little bit of work. This will be a good poll. And if you're with Warby, Parker, DM, Tom with any recommendations. Let me go through, let me go through the stories on what we got. A few things. Trump gave a speech last week

that we haven't gotten into yet, but Trump gave a speech last week that CNN refused to play. And they said, well, you know, because he's made a lot of claims and they refused to play. And the Trump made some claims about China being involved in elections and different things that we're going to get into.

and but the part I want you to think about that no one's thinking about. Remember when they said, oh, you can get your Facebook account back, your Instagram back, your YouTube account back, everything you can get back. And you know, now they're no longer going to be doing any censorship. No, no, no. They just revealed that card's going to be used. And they can't say equal time because they don't give equal time. And they can't say it was close to midterms and we did the same things with Biden.

No, because CNN played Biden's entire speech. So we're going to get into some of that stuff to talk about. Bill Maher said he's done with Democrats. He says there's no way I can support something like this. Bill Maher's actually saying he's open to the idea of potentially voting for Jay D. Vans. A Bill Maher voting for J.D. Vans. Olive Garden. I don't know if you guys have been to Olive Garden lately or not.

Olive Garden is officially for voter ID. Olive Garden came out and say they believe in voter ID in the craziest way possible. 30 years ago when I was 17 years old, we'd go to Olive Garden. I would tell my friends, we went to a rich man's restaurant. You know, we would order those, you know, those breadsticks. that it's unlimited breadsticks. I don't know if you know which one I'm talking about. It was great.

And salad. Yeah, and salad. It was phenomenal. But Olive Garden got it right. We'll talk about what we're talking about. Of course, we got to address World Cup. Spain got paid $50 million for winning the whole thing, but they got to pay, they got to pay my opinion that score.

I'm going to give you the craziest stat on the World Cup that no one's talking about, that this man here introduced me to the stat. And then we went a little bit deeper this morning to find out the numbers. It's crazy. When we share this number with you on the World Cup, it's a topic that literally no one is talking about. We'll cover it here with you in a minute. We had a chance to watch Odyssey this weekend.

Tom took a nap, but it was a good movie when we watched the Odyssey. Totally good. Tom caught up on some of his. He's like, listen, I've read the book 50 times. I can teach the class on The Odyssey. I don't need to watch a movie to know what The Odyssey was about. $375 million budget, which includes marketing. Opening weekend, $264 million,

breaking Christopher Nolan's previous record of $2,000. 49 for Dark Night Rises. Exactly. So I don't know if you've seen it or not. We did. I'm going to give you my thoughts. Vinny's going to give us thoughts.

Tate's, they're having a fight they're promoting, I think, two days ago. While they're going out there to promote the fight, which, by the way, you know, Tate's clothes choice that day, Andrew, I would tell you, could choose a little bit different color, but he's got a very good taste on clothes. But obviously they're going through it. UK comes from out there.

Florida, we know the Santis are not. supportive of Tate's. Huth Meyer was involved in this. It's very interesting to see what's going to happen. They're probably going to be in for about two weeks to 60 days. It could turn into a six-month situation. Anyways, we'll get into that story. It has nothing to do with U.S.

No, it has nothing to do with U.S. But, Tom, partly it does. Partly it does because it's with the help of U.S. that they've been able to do what they're trying to do. So we'll get into that. Right, but this particular arrest was coming from somebody else. You're right. It's coming from U.K.

transgender main Senate candidate. Folks, new rock star. Katie Porter, step out of the way. A new rock star is here stealing the flipping show. Yeah. Talking some common sense. Yes. I write my own books.

He said. Look at this guy. He says, I write songs. And all I'm trying to do as a transgender is use the restroom and not be bothered. I'm not going to hurt anybody. That's this guy's campaign speech. And some people are saying this guy is apparently, what do you call? Grand Platner's replacement.

Shout out Democratic Party. You see that video that Platner evolves into Ashley Webb, look into it and send it to him. And then we got Japan enact law to punish national flag vandals. Opponents say it's a threat to freedom of speech. I actually love that thing. John Federman comes out warning Democrat Party, stay loyal to Israel or he'll leave. And there was one story I liked, which is MLS's newest. billionaire owner thinks investors can do better than buying a sports team.

When he breaks down the numbers, it's actually shocking that you may do better in the SMP 500 than owning a sports team. And that's me. I read the story. I said, I think that's a pretty good story for us to get into it. So with that being said, Yang, while you're watching this, a couple things I want you to be thinking about is for some of you guys that realize success in life, you're one contact away from changing your life.

We do this intentionally every year. People ask us and say, hey, we'd love to come to the campus. get a tour an entire new headquarters, 11 acres on the airport. Allegedly this was a former CIA DoD property that Oliver North of the Iran contract this airport that you guys now own? Yes. Wait a minute. Is that real?

Yes. We're doing the annual networking event at our office, June 29, 6 to 8 p.m. Those who have CO tickets, I'm going to give you a tour the entire place. Founder tickets. Tom, I'll give you a tour the entire place. A lot of new upgrades have happened since the last time you guys were here. executives will get a tour from our staff and then platems and generals you'll get a chance to do networking and then i think a few people who buy the ceos and founders will go to the cigar lounge afterwards for

networking he went at our lounge whether you're a member or not it's going to be a great experience and some of you guys can choose to become members afterwards but you got to go buy your tickets this is what it looked like last year there's going to be a lot of surprises this year go to play the clip there you have it vault 2026 if you haven't you bought your tickets go to vault 2026 get your tickets and those you guys that have, you can register with the link that we have out there. I don't know if we have the link there or not. If we're not showing it,

Logan Paul will be there, Stephen Bartlett from Diary of CEO, Dan Martel, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, and we're going to have a good time together at the Vault Conference this year.

With that being said, let's get right into it. First story. First story. Do we want to just get into the World Cup and get that knocked out of the way. Let's get into the World Cup and get that knocked out of the way. Spain won 1-0.

Honestly, they should have won 5-0. 15 shots to 0. Spain's going to get paid $50 million. Lemuel Lamal, I think. Emil de Mal shook hands with Trump at the end when they won. There was a moment where they're like, oh, he's blowing him off. No, they shook hands.

It was just couldn't see it. Trump put a medal over Messi's head when they lost. Messi was in tears. The head coach was in tears. Couldn't believe that this took place. The greatest red card in this entire World Cup goes to Enzo. We're up there watching the match, and we're seeing this guy going after the player.

And all you see is Enzo doing the flip. You know what it reminded me of any? It reminded me of that 80-year-old man that flipped over the bison, because I know that picture was going viral. I'm like, this is horrible. I think he beat the 80-year-old with the flip that he got. And he gave a yellow card, and he already had a yellow car, so it ended up being a red car.

The bison was a yellow stone card. That's right. That's a different card. You're talking about a good one for that. But as you're going through this, one number that came about, which was crazy. By the way, Spain is a true champion. And let me tell you why they're the most boring team you can watch in the entire World Cup. I keep saying they're the cabs, they're the San Antonio Spurs.

They win. But they're boring. Boring to watch them play. France plays exciting. Argentina plays exciting. England played exciting. By the way, the England France game was sick.

Like that's the game you want to go to, see six, four goals. Mbapé scores the two goals. He becomes an all-time score in the history of World Cup. I think he's got two goals or one goal more than if you want to pull up the leaders bulletin, all-time World Cup scores. So Mbapé is now first place ahead of Messey. And, you know, Rinaldo fans celebrating because Messi didn't end up winning the second World Cup.

There's Mbapapé, even though Messi did. and really needed. Everybody at this point knows Messi's the goat. So Mbapé has 22 goals. Messies 21. And if you go lower, Rinaldo, Brazil, Portugal, 15. You know what's one of the stats that was going viral, which was kind of interesting to me? One of the stats that was going viral was the following.

You know, Mbapapé scored 10 goals in one World Cup. Messi scored eight goals in one World Cup. Holland, Bellingham, Dembele, how do you sell the other guy's day? Dembele, seven goals in one World Cup. Hurricane six goals in one World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo, 11 goals in six World Cups.

Wow. 11 and 6. And by the way, do you know how bad I wanted him to go to the championship? I know. Because I wanted to see him against Messi and let the debates begin. Yep. That's what I wanted. I wanted to see that.

We went to the game specifically for that reason. Well, you know what's the most important stat? And then I'll open it up for you guys to go through and give credit to Tom. Here's the most important stat. out of all the things that we talked about. There's not a stat more important than this. So they did a number to show which are the two teams

had more six touch passes. I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. Like, you know, where I pass it to Tom, Tom passes it to Vinny, and there's those are five other teammates that we touch pass. Six. Sequence of six passes or more. Do you know how many Argentina had in the entire game against Spain, one. Do you know how many times Spain did that against Argentina in the game?

32. Adam, we can hear you. 32. 32 times Spain did this. Let me say it again. Argentina passed to each other six times without losing a ball. Spain did it 32 times. It just wasn't fair. We went to the bathroom after the first half and I'm in the bathroom with Will Ferrell. All of a sudden, kids start screaming outside. I'm like, what's going on outside? What's going to? You and the UN didn't come inside? Spain just scored. I said, what? Spain just scored? It's not going to penalties? No.

We run outside. Will Ferrell's like, what are you talking about? Anyways, it was an intense game and credit goes to, you know, in all the people that made predictions, Tom wins the prediction markets. Messi didn't make the comeback. Spain was the most dominant team. They beat Mbapes' France. They beat Argentina's, uh, Messi's Argentina and they deserve to be champions and credit goes to them. I applaud them for going through it

and look whether you like it or not, 90% of the audience was Argentina, 10% was Spain, but the 10% of Spaniards that went there. Yeah, that's the picture right there. Look at that. Tom Cruise, Dylan, and Vinny. He was so freaking awesome too. He was so, by the way, he's not taller than me. I was lean, I was forward in the photo and he was wearing boots. Are you taller than him? I'm taller than Tom. Yeah, I hugged him and I like. But he was just a chill guy talking to you. Oh, he was,

Beau, the way that I approached him and the way that I spoke to him, he went from smiling to listening because I told him, I go, listen, I go, I know people want autographs. I go, I'm not going to want that. We're going to take a photo, but I go, thank you for all the entertainment. Like me and my family, my dad was wild.

We got to sit there as a family and watch him. And he was like, oh my God, thank you so much. He was sitting there talking. He didn't deny one photo with anybody. Yeah. Everybody got a photo. I love it. I love hearing story.

I mean, we just watch cocktails and we just watch a few good men within a week apart, right? And he's in both of them. But top, your assessment, your thoughts on watching the game. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the World Cup stuff. I want to move on, but your assessment on it. When I watched Spain, remember, Spain was the pre-tournament number one. I watched the first knockout round every minute. I said, well, I wonder who's really going to be up.

And it was on July 2nd. And Austria, I remember, it was two days, 4th of July. We're getting ready to travel to, you know, Rhode Island. And here we are, Austria, three to nine. nothing. And that game could have been 13 to nothing. Yeah. Against Austria. And I remember I came to Pat and I said, Pat, Spain is a machine because I was just so shocked and I was seeing the passing and everything. And at that point, Unais Simone, they had the draw against Capa Verde, but he didn't allow any goals yet. And I said, no one has scored on Spain either. And this goale, Unai Simone,

was amazing. And Unai Simone would finish with seven. We call it shutout in America. American speak. It's called a clean sheet in soccer speak. And so he finished with seven clean sheets. The goalie that beats Unai Simone's record for this year's World Cup has to go the entire World Cup and never give up a goal. He gave up one to Belgium. Yeah. And that to me was just so insane. And you talked about the passes. I got nothing more to say about it. To be fair, Emmy Martinez was a great goal. He was the MVP to World Cup for Argentina. Gosh. Because they could have scored five, six goals. Absolutely. But go ahead, Tom.

Finish your time. It's like, it was just to me, yeah, credit to the Argentina goalie for hanging in and it wasn't four to nothing. It was only one to nothing. And I think we've seen something, and I'll let you comment on it. I think we've seen with Spain or the combination of the academy, the national

support. I think we're seeing the West Coast offense getting born under Bill Walsh or Tex Winter and Phil Jackson building the triangle. I think we're seeing that. The students beat the teacher. These are guys that admire and they love Messi. They were protective. The way they played against Messi was very respectful. But they beat the teacher and the teacher's 39 years old.

I hope he doesn't make a comeback. I hope he doesn't come back to 2030. A lot of people are saying he should come back. Rinaldo should come back. I think they should go. Thank you, Renalgo. Thank you, Messi. I'll never forget. I went to the El Classico in Madrid and I watched them play. I think Messi had a hat trick at that game. I never forget. I went to a game Espano against Mess against Argentina. in 2008, full-on fight broke out on the way out. People who were with me, you'll know what happened.

There was fist fight, and I was involved. And it took us three hours to get back to the hotel. It was all over ESPN. It was the craziest thing ever that we had. These guys entertained the world, and we want to thank you. It was phenomenal. It was great, but I hope neither one of them comes back to the 2030 World Cup. Well, Pat, first of all, thank you for bringing me there.

The experience was just, like, it was unbelievable. The fans, the cheering, the game. was, you know, we had hopes. I wanted for, you know, destiny, you know, messy winning, but, you know, being the technical team that Spain was. You used the best word when it came to their defense. Smothering. Guys, every time the ball, it's, I didn't see one player tired, hands on their hips. They were sprinting on the ball every time. But Pat, my favorite part, I'm being dead serious about the whole World Cup, the whole, the MVP for me was Justin Bieber. Well, every, it was, it was such a moment to be there to watch it, because every artist, Madonna,

Shakira, they had, you know, dancers, explosions, graphics, fire, production, lip-sinking. He walked out by himself with a guitar, his earpiece and a mic, and sang a cappella while walking, playing the guitar. Pat, this is the biggest stage and the song that he chose to pick, to sing was everything, Hallelujah. It's about God. It's about gratitude and recognizing God's God's blessings and being thankful for every day. It was so intentional, Pat, in a world where everybody's about me and me, look at me. He chose that. moment and when he was done pat you remember he walked by himself from that one entrance all the way to the other by himself and i absolutely love the message and taking that stage to do that song so he

was my MVP i agree and by the we just saw him we just saw him four days ago five days ago security yeah shout out to a security great guy yeah adam your thoughts i know uh Israel is devastated that argentino loss what what are your thoughts on this oh we can't hear him now we can't hear anything you're saying You can't hear anything. So there's zero audio this time around. Okay, we'll come back to you. Jake, you guys, check Adam. We'll come back to you.

We can't hear anything you're saying. All that IQ guys, all that IQ, all that genetics you guys got. Come on. All those resources, all those pagers, all of that stuff. And you can't get something to work over there. All right. No, no, do not give Adam the page. By the way, so J.D. Vans wasn't able to show up to the game because they just had a son.

And congratulations to J.D. Anush. I think they just had a son. Alec Neil Vance. If you guys can mute Adam, please. On the other side, Jake, thank you. And Marco Rubio was at the match. So was the president right.

We are excited to announce our baby O'Ey, Alex Neal Vance, was born in the morning. Usha and the baby are happy, healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother. The incredible military doctors and staff members of Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing. We are deeply thankful for all they have done for our family. and that stat with them. So congratulations to the Vance family as they welcome a new boy.

But there you have it. By the way, when the game starts, they show stats and they said, here are the leaders of the World Cup. The top three defenders of the World Cup, the top three defenders of the World Cup, 343 was all from Spain. And I said, it's over.

They couldn't even get it on the other side. I didn't score one goal. Again, respect to them. And Messi, We have the privilege of saying we had, we witnessed the greatest soccer player of all time played during Gar-era. If you had a chance to watch him, you know, you're part of the lucky few. We'll brag about him for many, many decades to come.

All right, let me get to the next story. Next story I want to get into has to do with the Trump speech. Trump gives a speech on Thursday night. We didn't get a chance to talk about it. But he was given a speech and a few takeaways from the speech on what was discussed. Number one, U.S. elections. Trump said that the documents expose election systems to hacking, exploitation, and foreign interference

and accused officials of concealing these vulnerabilities from the public. Number two, Chinese exploitation of voter data claims. Trump alleged China acquired $220 million voter files and that intelligence officers suppressed evidence Beijing wanted to undermine his election, re-election. However, 2020 intelligence assessment, so China said we had nothing to do with it. That's what they came up and said, just so you know that.

China called Trump's allegations completely fabricated out of thin air and urged Washington to stop its groundless smearing. Number three, voting machine and vote counting machines. Trump warned of a cyber threat aimed at the very heart of our democracy, citing intelligence about Venezuela allegedly attempting to manipulate its own elections. He suggested methods could threaten the U.S. when it comes on to elections. then this Michigan 2020 voter registration investigation. Trump accused former Justice Department officials

of suppressing a Michigan investigation involving fraudulent voter registration applications and instructed FBI director Cash Patel to pursue possible prosecutions. And last but not least, non-citizens on voter rolls. Trump's side of the Department of Homeland Security report allegedly identified approximately 278,000 registered non-citizens but not claimed they voted.

A preliminary review indicated the figure may have included the deceased voters. So they're looking into that. Now, when that took place, CNN's Gary King, King, what's his name? John King, who is their Brett Bear, okay? Allegedly. Obviously, Brett Bear's in the league of his own,

but he comes out and explains why they did not want to play the president's speech. Look at this. Watch this from the beginning, folks, and tell me what this reminds you of. Go ahead. This episode is brought to you by FIFA World. World Cup, launch edition on Netflix.

Go to the Games tab and play FIFA World Cup launch edition now, only on Netflix. A quick reminder to our viewers, we'll be watching tonight's presidential address and listening to what the president says tonight. But we're not going to take it live, as we've been discussing.

That's because this president, sadly, has a history of misleading. And in some cases simply false nations on what we've been talking about. Election security and integrity. Also, the White House earlier today said he would be showing newly classified documents. So we want to make sure that we have time to review those documents. Talk to experts about them, to textualize whatever he says. Can you imagine how embarrassing this is? Can you pause it right there?

In other words, CNN wants to say they know what's best for you. Who the hell are you? Who the hell are you? Remember in 2022, right before midterm elections and Biden was given a speech on September 1st? And what was that speech that was given? The Independent Hall speech, if you guys remember that, NBC, ABC and CBS said they're not going to play it because they said it's what? It's promoting and it's a midterm speech that he's given. You know what CNN did?

They played it. Why did you play at CNN? Why did you play that speech? he was trying to win the midterms. So you don't remember what he did with the red background and how scary of a speech it was. So you didn't think that was okay for him to use. You trust him, but you know,

so this all tells you what's coming to 2028. It's coming back. Don't think for a moment the censorship stuff is gone. Don't think for a moment them calling YouTube or Facebook or all these guys and threatening them to say, hey, you better block Trump. You better block that. Don't think that's going away anytime soon.

Don't think that for a second. They showed their hands again. Tom, I'll come to you. Actually, Vinny, I'll come to you here with the Trump speech Thursday night. Your thoughts on what he talked about. That's all I've been thinking about, Pat. Even at the freaking game, I was thinking about this.

And forget, just for one second, anything that he said about the speech, the fact that the biggest scandal is what you just said, that they're acting as gatekeepers of truth. They're deciding what we can hear and what we can hear. And to me, that's revealing their hands. So if you watch the speech, if you actually listen to what the president said, Pat, China used CCP assets in the U.S. media and social media to incite.

This is just one of the examples. The 2020 BLM riots, okay? Number one, they also paid U.S. journalists to write negative stories about the Trump administration. They collected millions of U.S. citizens' private data from TikTok. and I know Tom's going to have a take on that to create fake IDs and driver's licenses for tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

An investigative journalist, Catherine Harwich, Patting, she was on News Nation. She reviews the documents released by the Trump administration, and she said also the CIA email showed that they were working against Donald Trump to help China and the Democrats in the 2020 election. Take one second, let that sink in. I know we're supposed to have trust in all of our institutions,

the FBI and the CIA actively working. I know everybody says, well, you can't get rid of these institutions, Pat, but there's so many people inside. Like you have a company, Pat. You have value tamedment. You don't know how certain people are inside the company that think a certain way and that would act in some way to sabotage. And that's what happens.

And then think about this, guys. They worked and busted their butts for years with China. They colluded. Then they released a freaking COVID-19 came from their freaking country. And remember, anybody that tried to say Trump, China, they're like, what are you doing? That's racist. Nancy Pelosi was in freaking Chinatown going, no, come here, come here. And now Pat, I tried, then I'm trying to connect all the dots.

Then for four years, Trump's out. Biden's in, all right? They flew spy balloons. Biden administration, by the way, do you know, Hunter Biden's relationship with China, Pat? He helped create BHR partners. It's a private equity firm backed by Chinese state-owned entities after he traveled to China with his father, 2013, while he was vice president. And remember in the emails, guys, he was referred to as the big guy. I need to cut for the big guy.

And then Hunter Biden pursued business deals with the exec tie to CEFC, the Chinese energy. All of Hunter's emails, Pat, lap ties discussed the dealings with China. And then we try to, like, who was calling the shots? Remember what you said last week with all the pardons? Who was basically, what article did you read or what book have you read that you read to a chapter that said Hunter Biden was in charge of basically the pardons? I didn't hear Pat. Gene changed by the two New York Times authors that just wrote the book, regime change. So think about the guy.

This isn't like seven degrees of Kevin Bacon. He's a freaking China Hawk Biden working with his son, Pat. And then you have losers. Like this Chinese takeover, Pat. You're seeing it. They're communists. The Democratic Party is not the Democratic Party anymore. You have losers like Hassan Piker dress up like Mao Zedong giving speeches in front of colleges.

And that's the new Democratic. He dressed as what? He was dressed as. Pat. You have that? When I say, and I don't like calling me. Hassan Piper dressed as Mao. Go to X.

He went in front of the, uh, he's wearing the Niroo jacket. Yeah, college Democrats of America convention. Like what a freaking loser. Like he's dressed up like he's at a communist expo. like dressing up like look at like that. There he is at the podium and everything. And I hope he hears this. What a complete loser you are dressing up like another man like it's a

cosplay to talk about communism in this country bro. Get the hell out of my face. So Pat, and I think it was Adam who mentioned this a long time ago. China is the enemy. Out of everybody that we're fighting, it's them and they're not using guns. Pat, they use TikToks. They use these influencers. They use these freaking politicians.

And what type of leader do you know comes to San Francisco and they kicked the homeless out to make it look good for that guy. They're all in cahoots with that guy, Pat, and I think they're the number one enemy. Adam, let's see how you sound. Go for it. If you have any thoughts on this. How are we doing out there? Much better.

Go forward. Much better. There you go. Okay, great. Well, unfortunately, I didn't get to see the speech because I was too busy flying to Jerusalem. It's okay here right now. But get ready for more of these fun and games. We saw this in 2020.

We saw it in 2024. We know that there's some nefarious actors out there that want to poison the wells. so to speak of American democracy and they can do it China being at the top of the list Russia playing games North Korea, Iran they all want to basically

take town Trump. It's the left and the autocratic right that are teaming together Adam, we're losing you, Tom, go for it. So Vinny, boy, I hope we clip what you just said because you are right from A to Z but I want to look at two things. First let's go to CNN

and how dare you. How dare you speak for the amount of people out there. But thank God nobody's watching CNN. 600,000, maybe 700,000 in viewers. Fox gets 5x, 3.4 million. Little old news max is almost at 300,000. So thank goodness nobody's watching CNN not cover it. What was the number for CNN?

CNN was between 680 and 700,000. That's how low they are today. Yeah, that's right. I just looked it up. That is in B. CNN. Fox is 5x, 3.4 million when you get the total viewership. And little newsmax is, you know, a smaller channel with the smaller budget, closing it on half of CNN. Unbelievable.

So, but the point is, how dare you do that? But I'll tell you, in 2022, when he did the, where was it in Philadelphia, wherever it was, he did in the backdrop. The black and red. Yeah, exactly. This was Biden in 22. The networks knew Biden was a little off rails, and they knew it was going to be bad. The reason they didn't cover it is they didn't want equal time. They would have had to give equal time.

They had a premonition of the debate in the summer of 24 and how did that go between Biden and Trump. It didn't. It was terrible. They knew that was going to happen. So that's why they weren't airing it. They're scared to death of having to error the other side and have it sound sensible and be something that the American people might be thinking about by processing, even though

they're upset about affordability and about the war, is all they have the American people go, wow, that sounds more reasonable over here. Now, TikTok, interesting. Remember, we were ruling to cut off our left arm to keep TikTok from getting our kids data. And if your kids were tied to a parent account on the phone, oh, TikTok could be invading the phone and pulling your data over there and taking your data to China. Well, guess what? This is, and now we're protesting the data centers. And if we don't build them here, the data will be in China.

People say, that's always your thing. You're always saying that. You're just biz doc. I get these things on X all the time, Pat. Oh, BizDock, you're just saying that because you're in favor of the technology. No, I'm saying is we have to figure out how to make data centers not cost people money, have alternative methods of cooling, and not be noisy. We have to put pressure on the people building data centers to do that.

But if we don't put the data over here, it goes to China. And what Vinny just outlined, China is waiting. China is not a friend. This is what's going on here. That's what I feel about that part of the speech. I think it was a wake-up call that people needed to hear. Yeah, I mean, to me, it's all just showing you what's about to happen in 2028. The gamesmanship is back.

They're going to use the same exact cards that you thought they weren't going to use. They're using it. They're going back to the same exact play out of their playbook, page out of the playbook. I agree 100%. If you think about it, everything that he said about China, if it's true, you're seeing it play out. who's leading the Democratic Party? I got goosebumps. It's the freaking communist.

So it worked. And then, Pat, I was always questioning, what president would let China buy land next to our military bases? How many spies, Pat, the Fang Fang, the Eric Swabwe, but I want to ask you a question. Or the farms? Or the farms or the agriculture terrorist

that we keep catching from China. So, Pat, here's my question. Who snuck into Minnesota? Exactly that. Open door. How do we deal, Pat, because we always want to talk about solutions. How do you deal with the efforts

FBI and the CIA and people in Congress, we have rogue actors that are working. This is the deep state. Everybody tries to act like we're all delusional or all conspiracy theorists. The deep state, Pat, how do you deal with a company like the CIA, these organizations, that have people inside because one of them that Catherine mentioned that, she said in an FBI quote, she goes, can you pull up one of the tweets? Yeah, one of the documents. Yeah, one of the documents from birth.

I sent you a couple in one of them. And Pat, I'll find it as well after I say this because I want to ask you, I want to see if you can answer this question. She said something like she feels like this FBI agent is running a rogue. She said something like she was running a rogue government against our government. That's what she felt like. I'm going to find it for sure. But this is this right here is them collecting for herself. Speaking for herself. She goes, I feel like I'm running like a shadow government for for for you for you know against the president. God bless you. It's not like it's a joke. It's not like it's hiding. So I'll find it. I'll send it to him. How do we stop those? What what

parameters, what guardrails do you have to put in to let people like, you know, the James Comey or the Christopher Ray's or the General Millie, you guys remember what General Millie said about China, how much in this pocket of China he was? He said,

if Donald Trump gave us an order to nuke or bomb China, I would call China and give them a heads up. If that's not treasonous talk, then what is? Tom. You're right, and I just went 12 seconds. Can you go back to that, but you just had that long one that you had on Twitter that talked about what that they took the, where did they get the data for the driver's licenses?

Right there. CCP, collected millions of U.S. citizen private data from TikTok accounts to create fake IDs for tens of thousands of fraudulent mail and votes. Thank you. Yeah. And by the way, if you go to the group text, I'll put a thumbs up if you want to go to it. In regard to BLM, if you go to the tweet, you just saw me thumbs up. You see it or no? I just literally thumbs up. I'll do a love on it to make it easier for you. Love it. Do you see it? Okay, then if that's not working, I'm just going to text it to you separately.

This has to do about Chinese involvement with BLM. If you go to your text, you'll see it right there. Unbelievable. Okay. At the top, there you go. Watch, make this bigger. Vinnie, if you want to read this to them. Okay.

So China plan to incite racial unrest and blame white people hating black people to sabotage Trump. They had extensive plans, China, to influence and cyber operations to turn public opinion against the Trump administration. They specifically targeted racial tensions planning to allege that white people hate black people, incite demonstrations and marches to highlight racial divides, increased conflict between police and anti-racism, activists, and create an impression

that the US law enforcement resents the government and people of color. Other themes included political party fights, Congress versus Trump conflicts, women's rights, and alleged US war plans. China had the ability to spread these messages across social media, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and mainstream media.

using influencers. One option included gathering dirt on senior U.S. officials. This document shows that China was actively planning to weaponize racial division to damage Donald Trump ahead the 2020 election, another act of war. And Pat, it's, think about all the stuff that now that we're finding out besides COVID, China, racial divide in the United States, China, all these freaking people type of course. Of course it worked. NBA, the year that LeBron won the Mickey Mouse championship. Yeah. What did it say?

BLM was everywhere. Black Lives Matter. Everywhere. They use this to divide America and win elections. And let me ask you a question. Tom, be honest. Can a president ever survive racial riots, billions of dollars of damage in the United States, number one, and number two, a pandemic?

Can anybody survive? If Jesus Christ was the president, would Americans vote for him if he lived through that? And we can talk about the 2020 election. Look how many votes it took to beat him. Is that Millie? Yeah. This is Millie. This is Millie.

Watch this. Chinese thought wrongly that the United States is going to attack them. I am certain, guaranteed certain, that President Trump had no intent to attack. And it was my task to make sure I communicated that. And the purpose was to de-escalate common things out. You shared all that earlier. I understand. And as part of that?

Just say, did you or did you not ask? Tell him that if we were going to attack, you would let him know. As part of that conversation, I said, General Lee, there's not going to be a war, there's not going to be attacked between great powers. And if there was, the tensions would build up. There'd be calls going back and forth from all kinds of senior officials. I said, hell, generally, I'll probably give you a call,

but we're not going to attack you. You're going to call a foreign nation that were at war with the powers. What a, good for him, good riddance to this guy. That's the problem, the enemy from within, path, foreign and domestic. We have, I'm more concerned about the domestic. because they're willing to sell their souls for money, Pat, on top of these influencers, and sell our nation. Okay? That's the problem that I have.

It's these guys. When I see people like Hassan Piker who dressed up like a freaking moron, communist Mao that killed millions and millions of his own people, like you're an idiot, and you're in our country doing it, and it pisses me off. China from one side, Soros and the globalist, liberalist from the other side, and the shining city on the hill is under siege. people need to understand that. You have your freedoms, you have the liberties and the things we have here, but we are under siege for both sides. This is coming. Brace for impact. Everybody's been

confusing saying, no, that's the enemy, no this is the enemy, no this the enemy. Yeah, and closed doors. China's over here controlling it all. It's like, what a great... By the way, kudos to them learning the propaganda game better than anybody else. A story came out here saying how Israel's trying to use $90 million propaganda,

whether it's working or not or it's failing. Guess what? Israel miserably failed the propaganda game. China. Winners. Respect to their propaganda game on what they did. Yeah, Israel's $50 million experiment to change U.S. public opinion. Let me get to the next story here. Check this up. Iran.

This is getting serious. And just now, the numbers this morning for crude oil was at what, 88, 89. I'm sorry, no, Brent crude was at 87. 88. That's correct. 8889 was British Brent. Yes. US was 82 and a half. 82 and a half.

But here's what's going on with Iran. US cumulative death toll officially hit 17. 17. A U.S. service member was killed on Saturday, on Saturday, July 18th and northern Iraq, during a controlled detonation operation targeting unexpected ordinance from a downed Iranian drone officially announced by SENTCOM on Sunday, Jordan's base attack fatalities, two U.S. service personnel,

who were confirmed killed on Friday, July 17, just three days ago, during a massive Iranian ballistic missile and drone strike targeting a U.S. hosted base in Jordan, remains recovered from Jordan side, a third U.S. service member originally listed at missing in action from Jordan attack as presumed dead.

Sentcom confirmed Sunday that unidentified remains, disturbing to even read that, were recovered at the impact site and undergoing formal DNA verification and mainland Iranian casualties. U.S. precision strike overnight into northwestern Iran killed at least one individual and left multiple wounded. Civilian left without water while casualty figures remain heavily censored inside Iran. U.S. strikes on utility targets have completely cut off drinking water of 10,000 civilians across 20 villages in Hormuzgan, province, following the destruction of the Bungi desalination pump. And you're seeing them attacking desalination locations.

Nine consecutive nights of the U.S. bomb and Scentcom included. It's ninth consecutive night of heavy air and sea operations against mainland Iran on July 19, deploying fighter jets and meantime Tomahawk cruise missiles. I mean, this has not slowed down. We asked this question this morning. What do you do now, right? What do you do now with all the stuff that's happening? Well, look, here's a reality of it.

My opinion and time, Vinny, I'll come to you guys. A day before, it could have been a week before the war started. I was on Mario in the fall. And he asked me a question about whether I would, if I was the leader, whether we would kill Common A. And I said, I wouldn't do it. He's 86 years old. If you do, you better be ready for a war that's going to be decades

because you're killing their supreme leader. What we did. And another 49 on top of that. that. So you got 50 total leaders that you kill. Then you want to come and negotiate with the surviving guy that's left, Mosh Tabah Khamenei, whose father, mom and wife, I believe you have killed. And you think these guys are going to be negotiating reasonably? They're not. So what do you do now in a situation like this? You either have to put that entire regime to be eliminated or you have to know for decades these guys going to be seeking vengeance when you're no longer president. And this is Trump,

when you are no longer president. So maybe they're, won't do anything under your watch, but they will on another president's watch. And then what happens? So the dominoes, the first dominoes of this goes back to what happened when we killed their 50 leaders. But we are now in a position where, you know, this morning, I think just 45 minutes ago, Iran is proposing a new ceasefire, whatever their deal is, right? That they're proposing this morning. Markets went into the Greens immediately when that was announced. But it's a bad situation right now with what's going on with Iran. A lot of it happens after you kill the 50 leaders. So Tom, what are your thoughts about what we're hearing right now with Iran? Well, what I want to

know is there are little reports that are out there from some second tier news agencies and independent reporters. None of this has been, but what I'm about to say has not been validated by sentcom, but send comm should be speaking to it. They are alleging that there is limited response from the Patriot battery that was at that Jordan base. And that that people have been saying, you know, you've been hearing that Vinny is a guy in the military, what is your number one thing? Your ammunition supply line is literally number one. And then your food and water supply line is literally number two.

You have to defend yourself and feed the freaking soldiers that are manning the weapons. That's exactly. First you've got to protect yourself, so there's somebody to feed. So there's these things out there that right now there are unconfirmed reports or rumors that potentially the Patriot battery may have been out of ammunition. and the Patriot missiles are the ones that intercept. So that's why these things landed. If that's true, then it kind of connects the dots, Pat,

and what people have been saying, that Hegss has been denying that, you know, there's supply lines and some limited, that the longer this goes on, the more that we get strained on the ammunition to respond, number one. But number two, what's even more bothersome to me is seeing all the markets reacting now. We went almost three weeks.

Remember the markets were hardly moving, Vinny, they're like a little bit. Hey, you know, oil is 67, 68. And even though, even as some maybe some tense words were going back and forth with U.S. and Iranian negotiators, we never said that. We said this, but the markets were calm. The markets have stopped being calm. The markets are now upset and oil is back up into the 80s, not 80.1, back up into the high 80s that Pat quoted him. And that makes me worried because now the markets are getting worried. So I agree with Pat that this thing has been protracted. It's exactly what he said on Mario in the fall.

We're now living it out. But now the markets are getting nervous. And look at it. A rumor of a ceasefire and then the markets reverse a little bit this morning. It's very tense. We've gone in now to a very, very, you know, mushy, volatile situation. Yeah, listen, we're in too deep. You know, we're in too deep.

Anyways, let me kind of share with you what some of the world leaders said. Donald Trump said, we hit him hard. again tonight and we did it in the honor of the American service members killed in Jordan. Here's what Supreme Leader Mosh Tabah Khamenei had to say in a fiercely defined written statement broadcast across Iranian state TV. He stated

U.S. actions proved President Trump's signatures utterly worthless and devoid of credibility pledging that the U.S. will face even heavier cost and further humiliation. Rubio came out and said the following on Sunday. It's clear that Iran, at least

some people in Iran, want to control the straight and hold that as a leverage against the world. This is what he said. And then Iran's foreign minister, Ismail Bahra'i, said, condemned the U.S. targeting of the Darjovin facility as a terrorist and aggressive American attack in the U.S. crime, demanding that the IAEA Board of Governors and Director General abandoned political bias and issue a formal condemnation of Washington. So it's not getting any prettier. It's not getting any prettier. Vinny, thoughts. And before I even say this, this isn't what I want to happen. Okay.

I don't, I am anti, I don't want any wars happening unless we're giving the facts in the beginning and it's actually save people that are under duress, okay? The only way to win this war, Pat, the only way to win objective to get rid of this freaking IRGC is a freaking full ground invasion and you have to bomb the hell out of them. Plain and simple, full stop. That's the only way, okay? Because if not, this is going to be a forever war. One week it's going to be, hey, they said they're going to be cool.

Trump said they're cool. Then we bombed the hell out of them. Trump says he's going to bomb everybody and kill everybody. And billions of dollars are going to be spent. Tom made a great point about our weapons are freaking depleted. And the main part about this entire situation. By the way, my heart goes out to the Iranian people, which I thought the majority of this war was going to be for them. You know, we got rid of their enriched uranium, which I thought we bombed the hell out of them the first time.

It's the now 17 United States military service personnel who have all perished for a war that a lot of people are saying that we shouldn't have even started in the first place, Pat. And it's not going to stop because guess what Iran's not doing. They're not bombing us here. No, they're going to our freaking assets that we have in the Middle East and they're showing us, hey, we can't come to you with our missiles or whatever the hell we have, but we can kill Americans in different nations with Tom, which as a veteran, that drives me crazy because that's 17 families that lives are ruined, ruined because of something that we shouldn't even have done. And now that just the calculus in the street itself is now changed.

You have Luraka Island, which is on the north side, which is where Iran puts the toll booth, right? Iraq Island, which is the long island up on the north side of it. Then you've got the south passage. It goes right by Oman on the map. And that's where the ships have been, that's where the British and American ships supposedly got rid of the mines. And Iran says, no, we don't want you to go there. And every now and then they're hitting these little surface missiles onto the ships that are there.

And then we said, hey, we'll just take Carg Island and we'll step on the air. hose and suffocate them. And that didn't happen. And now we find out that one of our key amphibious landing ships is now out of commission, and they've been working on it for almost a month and didn't announce it. One of our key amphibious landing ships that we tracked coming all the way from San Diego. So the whole calculus of the military involvement, hey, we will protect it. We will open the straight. All of this has changed. And the negotiators have gone haywire. So this, Pat, I feel like we're back on May 15th, and it's completely mushy. Yeah, I think it's a massive missed opportunity, and I'll tell you where.

It's a massive missed opportunity because the World Cup was the biggest positive distraction you had, and you missed out on that opportunity. Now, here's the thing. A part of it to me is not surprised why you killed 50 of their top leaders. Whether you want to blame that on Israel, you want to put it on U.S. where they killed too many people that they were negotiating with. Is this it? Can you play this clip? This is a week before the war began.

Go forward. And better for the country. Hopefully we'll see that. I'm going to give you a weird answer. He's 86 years old. He's about to die anyways. Leave it alone. You don't need to kill an 80.

If you're going to kill somebody, kill a 45-year-old. I'm just being honest. If you're going to go out there and take out a leader, go after the leader that's got a 40-year run rate. Who cares about a three-year run rate? This time has come. If you're going to do it, I'm not imposing anything for people to be done. But all I'm saying is take out a young leader.

Okay, when you hear stories about USSR, the Soviet Union, was following Ronald Reagan 17 years before he ran because the way he would communicate would get people to get behind them. That's the guy that was their enemy. Guess who they took out? How old was Charlie Kirk when they took him out, 31? Why did they take him out? He's got 60 more years.

60 more years they got. I mean, that's, that's, you take out an 86-year-old? Can you imagine like you know, you're playing, you know, basketball against a team and all you're double teaming a 43-year-old center? What are you doing? Double-teaming a 43-year-old center? The guy can't even run. His knees are buckling. You know, he's having it all.

He's got like 17 knee braces on. No, you got to go after the youth. Anyways, it's already in too deep. My concern right now is if you look at the Trump's victories, the things that were very important to me as he was going. Tariffs was one of them. Supreme Court ruled against it. They're now sending back $71 billion of terror-free funds, okay? And a lot of these companies are using it to offset inflation caused by the Iran war.

Number two was a voter ID. We saw what happened with that with Supreme Court ruling Amy Coney-Barrant all of a sudden is worried for her life. So she goes from voting 81% of the time with conservatives to into 50% because she's worried. I suggest she resigns and step away. But the likelihood of that happened is less than 5% of her stepping and sign. But who knows? Maybe there could be a surprise. And then while you're going through this, you had a couple other things that you're going through

that you're trying to put together. But, you know, the reality of it is, you know, tariffs was big, voter ID was big, Iran was big, and let's see what they do here with Iran. I'm always optimistic. I'm always from the mindset of it's all going to end up working itself out, always. And there's a percentage that you've got to stay worried, but we'll see what to take place next. While all this stuff is going on, Tate brothers are back at. it again, they're in Miami promoting a fight. And suddenly, while they're in Miami promoting

a fight, what pages is this on, by the way? While they're in Miami promoting a fight, you get the story. Social media influencers, Andrew and Tristan Tate are arrested in Miami. And you see the video. I don't know if you have the video when they're going out there and arresting them. If you want to pull up the video of Tate, if you just type in on X, go on X type in Tate, arrest, you'll see the video while they pull up to him. And so Andrew and Trist Tate were arrested Saturday in Miami after the UK sought their extradition on dozens of charges including rape and sex traffic and the Tate's who are brothers, millions of followers, you know, they're kind of promoting them on who they are and what they were, the U.S. Marshal Service.

This is it. Play the clip. Now playing on Netflix, The Hawk. From the mind of Will Ferrell. Oh, Mama, I'm back. Comes a new original series. Get ready. Get ready. That's it. Did I stutter? When an iconic pro golfer.

Lonnie? Honey? Huck! Takes one last swing at greatness. You were a big shot golfer. I still am a big shot golfer. No one. Dad, I'm the Hawk now.

We'll stand in his way. That's how it's done. The Hawk, now playing. Only on Netflix. To the U.S. Marshal, by the way, they said the arrests were made in accordance with the treaties and law enforcement agreement. Government Justice Department of Extraditions. The brothers are expected to make an appearance at a federal court early next week.

I think the court today, 9 o'clock, you were at court. their lawyer, Joe McBride for the brothers, said they are innocent. Andrew and Tristan Tate will walk free. America does not do Britain's political dirty work. Not here or never. The UK's Crown Prosecution Service said it authorized 42 charges against Andrew Tate, who is 39 years old. Tristan Tate 38 faced 17 charges.

The service said there's a total of seven alleged victims that goes into all these other stories. But the judge that they're facing, the judge that they're facing, I believe today. I want to say the judge's name is Judge Lewis, I think, hardcore, hardcore level 10 type of a liberal judge that we're talking about. So who knows what's going to happen here? We know DeSantis' camp have never been fans of Tate's.

They've even called them out. Last time Tate was on a podcast, he called out DeSantis. And James Huthmeyer, who's a star in Florida. This guy's going to end up doing something long-term politically. Very talented, very capable. He even said a few things on X about him. So some of this stuff has to do with child pornography is what they're talking about, which, you know, to put that on them, can you imagine UK,

you have a Rupert Lowe who comes out with a report with 250,000 Pakistanis, you know, 87% of them being Pakistanis, this rape gang, and you hear nothing. But the first Muslim, they go after Zandra Tate? That's what it's come down to. Not all the other rape cases you have in your state that you release people. Not all the other stuff that goes on where judges comes on and says, no, no, no. This is their way of living. Leave them.

Not that. Don't look at that. No, not at all. UK is a safe place. This rape stuff is not happening. It's just a propaganda. But let's go get this guy, Andrew and Tristan Tate. It becomes a little bit weird.

Yeah, right there, Houtmar, can you go to that tweet? how the turn how the turntables breaking Andrew and Tristan Tain have been arrested in Miami obviously they can't stand those guys on what they're doing so you know you have you have a thing going there I'll pause right here Vinny your thoughts on this case here

well first bat and again people out there oh they're these guys with the women listen put all that aside if you can't tell that this is all politically driven and motivated like you're being delusional okay I know these I know Andrew

I know his brother I can't speak for every single thing, every little ministerial thing, but you know what, when you talk, and I'm not blaming them, Pat, but when you talk about the system, when you constantly are talking about the powers that be in the matrix, it's not surprising that they're always going to come after you and they're never going to stop. I remember when Andrew, he was speaking to somebody and he said, the way that they work is first they take your money, then they try to destroy your reputation through the media, and then they try to kill you, okay? And as it seems,

they're still working on the second one because this is going to be nonstop. This will never, ever, ever stop at. And when it comes to this world of women and whatever, as we've learned through all the stuff that America's gone through, with all these false allegations with people just coming forward, all you need is an allegation. That is it. And if there's somebody in the system that hates you,

they even look for these type of females. They look for these type of girls that say, oh, were you with him during this time and this time? Okay, just say this. We'll give you some money. That's how it's working. That's how it is. And you know what?

I'm sorry, Pat, if you're living a life. And we had this conversation with who in the car the other life? Kids. With the kids. And I was telling them, guys, they're like, well, what happened? Uncle Vinny? Did he do? I go, listen, just know this.

This will never happen to you. If you treat women with respect and dignity, you find the girl that you love, you get married, blah, blah, blah. When you have a pool of a thousand women, guys, the odds of some of them coming forward, even if it's a lie are very, very high, especially when there's money involved, and especially when there's people of high power that want to destroy you and you're seeing it in real time.

Yeah. Adam, let's try you one more time. PBD, you got me now, sir? Go for it. Let's test it out. Great. Well, listen, I'll tell you, much like the 50 Cent album,

Iran didn't want this podcast to come out. They must have done some internet blackout, but I'm here in a bunker ready to give you some answers. So we're talking about Andrew Tate, is that right? Yes. So let me just lay it on you with the Tates. I like the Tates. I'm rooting for the Tate's.

I think the tates are the definition of poking the bear too hard, and now they're getting done dirty. And people don't want to hear what they have to say. Question for you guys, what were they charged with and convicted of of all the things in Romania? I'll give you the quick answer. It was nothing. Zero. They were convicted of nothing. So now the UK is going back in time, like they're Michael J. Fox to try to find something and

pin it on Tates. They continue to win. You might not like them. And it's totally okay to disagree with them. What you should be appalled by is the justice system in the UK. At this point, their credibility is at an all-time low. So I'm rooting for the Tate's. I don't know what the latest iteration of their situation is. But you know how they say some people are built for this? Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate are built for this. And I hope they get out. I'd add a much better audio. Tom, go forward. So obviously, this is Crown Prosecution Service, CPS,

which is sort of FBI of the UK. And you saw the U.S. Marshals. Did the U.S. marshals come in there with dogs and 10 guys? No. They walked up to him and they said, hey, we have a warrant here. You've got to come with us. It was calm. There was no drama. There was security guy,

a guy with the beard, which is kind of standing there. It was orderly. His associate was allowed to come up and talk to him. So the U.S. is just sitting there. saying, well, we have a treaty with the UK, and this is an extradition request, guys. So you got to come with us. You may not like it. I don't know what it's about. But we, you know, what I'm glad is we didn't throw them on the ground and do all the things you could do, but we simply kind of executed on it. However, that's the part that people need to understand.

This was us obeying a treaty with the UK. And it's the UK diving into this. And it just goes to show you, if the FBI or the CPS or MISX, if somebody wants your hide, they are going to move heaven and earth to get it. Yeah, they will. And by the way, but if you're part of a rape gang in UK, you're good.

$250,000 and 87% be in Pakistanis. And they don't want your hide. But you, no, no, no, don't touch those guys. No, no, not them. Not them. Let's go to a different place. So here's kind of where I'm at with this. Look, I always set the following.

If they find something, and you did it, it is what it is. I mean, you know, you know, it's, it's, it's, that's the court's job. Go find it. The lawyer's got to do their part, prosecutors, everybody's got to do their fight.

And then we find that in the world says, okay, they did or they didn't. But that's on you to pull off. Nothing so far you've been able to pull off. Everything is allegation, allegation, allegation, another four girls came, another three girls game, another two girls came. And is that a byproduct of the life they lived?

Yes, is that a byproduct of how crazy stuff they said? Yes. Does that piss off a place like, Like UK, sure. But UK loses credibility in this place where they don't do their part to protect the British people, the nationalist, the people that actually love their own country. Britain's losing credibility for having seven prime ministers in 10 years. And I think they just announced a recent one.

If they haven't, they're about to. I think the guy's name is Andy Dunham. He's another leftist. No, he's in just now. Oh, he's in. He's in. He's in. You're right.

Just now. Seven prime ministers in 10 years. You think you have any credibility? You? UK? I don't think so. Seven prime ministers in 10 years, they have lost so much credibility for them to come out and then you want to do something like this. But my speculation is that Florida was involved in this. My speculation is that Florida decided to participate and work with them, and maybe even the DOJ indirectly because it's coming from the top. So we'll see as this gets closer

where they're at. I don't know. We'll learn more as they're going through. I think today's the first They're having a couple of the things that's going to happen this week. We may even have his lawyer on the podcast on Thursday to give us some thoughts on what's going on. Vinnie, I just really fast, because I know a lot of people were pissed off because they're American citizens and like who the hell is the UK, but they have dual citizenship. They have dual citizenship. So that's the problem, guys.

Now, I don't know if they're going to give it up or not. I mean, their father, their family, their life. A lot of it is also part there. But let me get to the next story. Next story is Odyssey. Odyssey comes out, movie Christopher Nolan, 3707, $75 million budget total. That includes $125 million marketing.

So $250 plus $125, $3.75, opening weekend, $264 million, breaking Christopher Nolan's previous record of Batman. Which Batman was the time that did $249? Dark Night rises. The $249 million. I even think, if I'm not mistaken, it beat Oppenheimer. Some people are predicting this thing's going to do around $750 million. Let me kind of give you, at first when we were watching this,

everybody was talking about this whole Elliot Page guy, transgendered, that they put the part in there, and he's doing that because without having a character like that, you cannot win what do you call it, an Oscar, and you can't participate in it. And I looked at the numbers on how much they paid actors. Do you know the exact amount how much they paid everybody? Okay, let me kind of go through. What do you think Elliot Page made? Just guess.

$3 million. $1.5 million. Then if you go to some of the big names, John Leguizamo, what do you think he got paid? $2.5 million. John Bernthal, he got paid $3 million. Lupita Njong, you know which one that is, Helen O'Royneux, Helen O'Brien, $4 million.

Charlize Theron, $5 million. Robert Pattinson, who played Atonis, he got paid $6 million. Anne Hathaway, only $7 million. I thought it would be a little bit higher. Zendaya, Athena, who was not a bigger character than Ann Hathaway, $8 million. Holy moly.

And then you have Tom Holland, $10 million, Matt Damon, $15 million is what he got paid for the movie. That's not a lot for Matt Damon. I thought Matt was going to be in the 25 to 30s, but he got paid 15 million. I thought he did very good. Now, you know, for me, when you look at the story, when you look at the story, the acting, everything that was going on, we came home and we had a lot of discussions with it. I had a very good conversation with Tom's daughter, Brooke, who knew everything about the story of Homer.

And, you know, by the way, do you know when this was written? Do you know the exact time of when this was read? We talked about it. 800 BC. This book was written 800 BC by Homer, which some say Homer is not even a real character, but they said he was blind. Homer was blind.

He wrote this and he wrote the Eliad. And it turns into this movie and a couple of the parts, you know, when you go into the characters where you question it, the one girl who was the witch where Matt Damon shows up and they turn his soldiers into pigs while they're eating the food. What's her name?

And that's also the name in the other show, right? Game of Thrones. She's not bad. She's the queen. So this witch was supposed to be very attractive witch, but she wasn't in the movie. And one of the characters with the crow, that's not really in the book,

the crow is supposed to be her sister that she has animosity on. And Matt Damon, who kind of figures out as he's going to Dysseus, when he shoots the deer, it ends up becoming a human being. He knows something's going on there. That was an interesting, you know,

scene that they went through. Poseidon's son, the guy with the one-eyed, you know who I'm talking about? Cyclops. Cyclops, that he was eating. some of the soldiers and how they got away from it with all these. He says, follow the sheep. No sheep are by themselves.

They're always with it. And so you kind of climb up and then he sees Poseidon's son and they have to escape him and they get on the ship. Eventually they make it out of there. The ending of the story, one of the scenes that was left out, which I love that, Brooke shared this with me. There's a scene about when he comes back and Anne Hathaway, who was playing Penelope, doesn't know whether this is, Odysseus or not, because he's been gone for about a decade.

and he hung out with Charlize Theron who Charlize Theron is playing Calypso who's a person who always falls in love with people that come there but they never love her back and she keeps feeding them this what he called this flower. Oh, what was it called? What was that flower called?

The orchid? That you forget. You forget about your past and this is her way of getting people to love her but it never happened. Anyways, he comes back and one scene that she said should have been in the book that wasn't is the scene where Penelope is trying to find out if Odysseus is really Odysseus, she goes and tells the workers loud enough,

so Odysseus is listening and says, hey, I need you to remove this bed from my bedroom. I want this thing to be out of here. And he responds back and says, you can't. That bed is specially made because it's got the roots to an olive tree. And then she says, there's only two people that know this. Me and Odysseus. Wow.

Because that was the first time it was under a tree that they, and so he took the tree and turned that tree into her bed. The marriage bed, yeah. Marriage bed tied to an olive, all of a tree. Look, I enjoyed it. I don't want to tell you. I enjoy watching. I give it a seven and a half.

I didn't give it like a nine and a half gladiator, you know, but it's definitely better than gladiator too. And I think you should go watch it. There's a lot of people that say you shouldn't waste your time. And that whole Elliott Page thing, you know, it wasn't that much of a deal for me to be like, what is this person doing here? I get what he's doing. But I actually like watching a movie.

Vinny, your thoughts. It was good. And I'm telling everybody, I recommend everybody. Do not watch it unless you're watching it in an IMAX theater. The movie was shot and in all IMAX cameras. He even, I guess he invented Christopher Nolan Tommy something to cover the actual cameras because they make a lot of noise during the shooting. So he created that.

I think it was good, Pat. It was a little long. All the reviews, Ron Tomatoes has 95 and 97. It was visually good. I mean, how long, Tom? How long is The Odyssey, the book? How many pages, Pat? Oh, it's like, depending on what language you're reading it in,

but it's like 500 pages. The Iliad is 500 pages. You know, Brooke went through a full semester, and they didn't get through the book. They went through these key passages, and then they read a narrative summary of everything, and then went deep into these passages, and the characters and everything.

It's 500 freaking pages. Yeah, so if you're, guys, if you're that well-versed and, like, Tom's daughter, Brooke, She's, she, we had a 20 minute briefing before that we even watched the movie. And she said, Vinny, if you've read, if you read the book and you understand it, there are so many missing pieces. And I get it. It's freaking 500 pages you can't.

It should have been, she said something really good, Pat. She said it should have been a series. It should have been two or three movies like, like in Dune. But, you know, with the casting, I understand, like you said, what he's doing. Nolan's playing the game. He wants to win an Oscar and win the Oscar. The Academy's representation and inclusion standards. You have to have a midget.

You have to have, you know what I mean? They have to have all this crazy stuff. The one thing, Pat, I'm going to say it fast. That pissed me off. John Lugazamo and Omberto's going to play this clip. This is one of the biggest, besides the Trump Arrangement Syndrome and America sucks and all this stuff, the biggest complaining, whinem victimhood mentality I've ever seen. He says here, Pat, Hollywood's not the most accepting place when it comes to Latinos and the most aggressively

unrepresented group in America. Can you please play this clip? What's been your odyssey in terms of fighting for your identity or your Hollywood career? Well, you know, it's always been a battle. I mean, you know, Hollywood is not the most accepting place. Even though we Latin people are 30 to 40% of the box office and a third of streamers, we're still not represented, we're the most underrepresented, aggressively underrepresented group in America.

So that's been my odyssey to try to bring some parody. And this is what bothers me. This is coming from a guy that I've known, Pat, has been acting since the 80s. over 100 movies, TV projects, made millions. How much did you say he made, Pat? Two and a half million dollars. It's not that he wants more opportunities for Latinos. He's constantly selling other Latinos on the idea

that the system stacked against them, even though his life proves the opposite. Okay, he reminds me of the Obama's. Everything's racist, everything is this. You're the president. Hey, Michelle, your husband was president twice, okay? And then look around. Marcelo Hernandez, Selena Gomez, Danny Trejo,

Sophia Vergaro, Samoa, Ponellope Cruz, Rose and Sanchez, Jennifer Lopez, Benicio del Toro, I could keep going. Andy Garcia, Ava Longoria, how underrepresented, I don't get it, Pat. It's, America is full of successful Latinos, comedians, musicians, everything. Stop teaching this victimhood mentality, John, okay? You're doing it. Everybody else can do it. I just think it's ridiculous, Tom. It pisses me off. And if you're going to be a victim and you're going to start quoting history, for the love of God, get it right. He goes off and says, I believe the quote was, oh, they took 500 tons of gold that funded the Renaissance.

Hey, Words Talk Number Scream. Here's the number for you. 1410. That was the start of the Renaissance. 100 tons of gold. 100 million tons of gold. That was the estimate,

the 100,000 tons of gold, is the estimate that was taken from the Incas and the Mayans in 1697. So it's just like 300 years later. So it's like, oh, they took this and they funded it. Queen Isabella didn't send them in their time. until 1600s. Like 1550, 1530, I think it was 1532.

Yeah. The Queen's Proclamation, Pat, here's your ships. Here's your guys. We think there's some gold. There's some stuff out there. Go get it. And then you come back in 15, 1697. So it's like if you're going to tell the story and related to history, get your facts

straight, dude, before you go into this victim stuff. He's all victim. But you know what stands out even more than something like not that many people were talking about? We talked about it. this is one of the most famous Greek stories ever told and there's not one major Greek actor in any major role in the entire, like,

if you guys think about Pat, that's the most bizarre. If you're going to talk about a Greek epic, how do you not include at least one prominent Greek anybody, Pat? Anything. Put one Greek person in there. You had every other race in there. I take two fast sides of it. Side number one. It was an amazing movie, amazing effects and everything it goes with it.

And that's the same way that, guess what? Dark Night when we saw Christopher Nolan in the first Batman movie he did. We said, wait, this is dark. He's got character things on Batman. Batman is very dark, holding the villain over, remember? Yeah, of course.

He had a, what he had a heat ledger. This moral, this moral decision, does he drop the guy or not? That's not Batman. Batman's good. Well, that was Christopher Nolan making an outstanding film of Batman based on Batman. If you wanted a biopic of,

of the of basically exactly what homer was talking about wait for hbo to do like 20 episodes and do a historical biopic what score you give the movie i give it an eight you give it an eight remember when we walked out i'm going 7.75 all right i said 7 7 and a half is but i gave it so only one greek actor appears to be in christ phoenix oasis yonis kokiah messos he has a brief role as the prophetic villager who warns odyssees about the disaster Masters ahead, and he's reportedly the film's only actor speaks Greek. I stand corrected. One guy that doesn't even have a...

Can you pull up his picture so at least we can give credit to this Janus guy? Oh, man. Please go to, let's find out who he is. Janus, shout out to you. Great job for representing Greeks in a movie. Is that him? Oh, Janus! Was he the guy with one eye that had the one eye that looked blind, his character

and movie? You know the guy I'm talking about? It might have, but yeah, yeah. I think that's it's the top left guy. I don't know. I think it's the top left guy. We don't even remember. All right, let's get to the next one.

Next story, I want to get to the next one. something for you, PPD. If you haven't seen it, I'm not coming to you. I actually have seen it. Okay, go ahead. Okay. I actually love the fact that The Odyssey is the number one movie in the world right now. By the way, we have another Greek in Miami, Janice, Udentacumpo, and I agree with you, Vinnie, on Marcelo, a host in the Espies, crushed it. But the reason I like The Odyssey, the number one movie in the world is because it's teaching people history. Our favorite movies that we always talk about, Gladiator, Ancient Rome, Braveheart, The Patriots, Saving Private Ryan, all historical movies. You know, a lot of young people think that Homer is Homer Simpson. Learn from history, you're destined to repeat it.

Number two, biggest takeaway. The number one move in the movie was the Trojan Horse. I think Europe should watch the movie at this point, understanding the third world. And then, PPD, the last point, what I loved, this guy goes on this 20-year advancement. venture to do what, return home, to get his queen and get his girl back. So you go through the struggle. The struggle's real, but I thought it was great in a historical epic movie. Yeah, fantastic.

So what did you give it, zero to ten? I give it a 9.0. Okay, good. Good. Okay, all right, so let's go to the next story. Next story I want to get to is I kind of like the story. A lot of times people think, you know, if I buy a sports team, a lot of money to be made in it and all this stuff, is there, is there not?

Well, this MLS's newest billionaire owner thinks investors can do better than buying a sports team. Really? Yeah, I mean, and by the way, he does math to give you actual rate of return on what it looks like depending on how you make your investment. So Peter Malick recently acquired control majority, control of major leagues soccer sport in Kansas City at a valuation of approximately $700 million, but says investors can't often earned better returns with far less trouble elsewhere. The L.A. Lakers rose from $675 million purchased in 1979 is what Jerry Buss bought it for.

$67.5 million he bought the Lakers. And they just sold it for $10 billion in 2025. An annual rate of return. You ready? Of 11.5%. The SMP 500 in the same exact period has done 12.4.4.4.5%. has done 12.4% with dividends over the same period, which would have turned the $67.5 million into $16 billion.

So it's interesting. Put the money into Lakers, you get to $10 billion. Put the money into SMP 500. You get $16 billion, $6 billion more if you would have put it in SMP instead of a sports. You could have outperformed better with a lot more anonymity, a lot less hassle, a lot less drama, just placing the trade, he said. He views sporting KC as a passion project

rather than a strictly economic investment. He built creative planning from approximately $30 million in assets in 2004, a financial planning firm overseas or advising on $700 billion. He remains the majority owner and has an estimated $16.1 billion net worth. The sports franchises can still diversify portfolio is because their values are less sensitive to recession since 2000. The average NFL and NBA valuations have much. multiplied roughly 17 and 26 times respectively,

outperforming the SMP 500 during that period. However, team owners do not always prioritize profit and sports funds commonly charge substantial management and performance fees. Malik recommends conventional private equity first, followed by sports only for wealth investors seeking an asset less correlated with public markets. Media rights, growth, and billionaire demand

have pushed major North America teams to an average valuation of 10. one-time revenue up to 2.9 times in 2000. Tom, do you agree with them? Yeah, I do agree with him. And by the 60s... Thanks, Tom. No, no, I...

I'm just saying... No, I'm teasing you. Go ahead. Okay. Actually, I disagree with this asshole. Tom, that damn joke, Chris, man. Just give me a nudge, I'll go.

So, for the Lakers, by the way, way, if you convert that to today's dollars, Vinnie, the 67 million, it's equal to 311 million today. Damn. So that's still, for 10 billion, what is that, Pat, 33X or something like that. So that's still powerful. But here's what happened. Over that amount of time, let's just look at the Lakers. What you had is television happened, then cable television happened, then local broadcast home games

happened. When Pat and I, you were in L.A., and we were growing up, and you, when you were back to earlier in your comedy career, Do you know that sometimes you can only have Laker games on radio? And then other games would actually be on TV. Every single game wasn't on every time they played. And then you had local TV. All of that created these bidding wars.

And then the growth of cable and the growth of big advertising dollars, led by pharmaceuticals, which is another story. We'll cover later. And all of the money that got in there to drive that. And so now, if you look at it, where do you think streaming is going to maybe go up 30% of the, latest TV contract, Pat? Do you expect that in five years? No. 30%? 30%? 50%? I don't know. But it takes that kind of jumps to make the franchise worth something because they live on it. So I think he's making a point that's like saying, hey, today you have a different purpose for buying a

sports team and it's not the appreciation that Jerry Buss got over the last 30 years. Yeah. And by the way, it's funny while we're talking about this. To me, if you look at basic numbers, the way he broke it down, one would have to run that in different runs, in different 20-year runs, 30-year runs, because you never know. You know, what is that famous line? Past performance is not indicative of future results, right? Future performance.

A lot of husbands use that line as well. Hey, oh. Speaking of hermospitals. Tom's on fire. Tom's on fire. You're two and five minutes, I'm impressed. What's in this? So, Adam, what do you think?

What do you think when you hear something like this? Because it's an interesting story. I like what the guy is saying. What do you think about this story? Well, you know, people, I got to tell you, Vinnie and I, we're actually trying to pool our money together. We see all the success about the Savannah bananas who we're trying to buy the Miami Platanos and bring a team to Miami.

But the number one thing that teams have in common that have the highest return on their investment is they do one thing, and that's win. The biggest best teams that have the highest value. you, they win, whether it's the Yankees, the Lakers, the Dodgers, I don't know what happened to the Cowboys. Shout out to Stephen A. Smith, but they win, much like in Gladiator, you got to win the crowd. But for the average investor out there, you're not going to buy a sports team, put your money in the S&P 500, roll the dice, see who wins. But for those that are looking to buy a sports team, this is some math for you right there.

What is this show? So there's a new show in town. The Savannah bananas are on their way to being as worth month as much as a team. $500 million. Yankees 8.2 billion. Dodgers, 6.8 billion. Boston Red Sucks 4.8. Good for them for going to a number one. It's a phenomenal story with the founder.

It's the greatest show on the field. And that's what it comes down to. You got to win the crowd. He has put on a show and they're doing a great job with, you know, what they're doing. By the way, let me get to the next story. Tell me what you think about this. So White House, you know, Trump is selling millisecond access to his truth social blast. And traders are already lining up.

And this story alone is creating a lot of controversy. Some people are saying, what are you doing? What is this all about? So let me read it to you, and Tom, I'll come to you. This is a fortune story. Trump media plans to sell financial institutions, millisecond access to posts from prominent truth social accounts, potentially including President Trump's market-moving announcement,

the service truth PSI would give trading firms an advantage before post about traffic, wars, or other policies, move stocks, bonds, oil prices, and interest rates. Trump has the platform's largest audience with 12.9 million followers and remains Trump's media's biggest shareholder. He's selling expedited, privileged access to information about what he is doing as a president. Government ethics expert Kathleen Clark said, calling the arrangement an improper exploitation of government power of enriching himself. Trump media did not say whether presidential posts would be included or what customers would pay.

The company said that service would cover the highest ranking truth social accounts and launched next month with customers already committed. Federal conflict of interest laws generally restrict officials from profiting through their public duties. But presidents and vice presidents are exempt. Previous presidents nevertheless divested individual holdings and used blind trust. Trump has retained his business interest. Tom thoughts. So first of all, I think Fortune is playing games at the headline here because they can.

What you just read there is the truth. the president can't sell access to his proclamations only to a certain group of traders who are then going to go trade on the open market. That's usually been done in the past, and it's called Nancy Pelosi. And we all looked at what happened there. And by the way, I'm just speaking of the objective look at her increase in wealth and what she controlled and what others in government, like Ro Khanna, what their wealth increased. And so we all know, Pat, that that is something. That's a sore point. you mean, Americans are upset that there's two levels that they think there's two systems of justice,

and they also think there's two systems of economic access. And there's laws here that prevent this. So the president can't do it to his. But what they're saying, Trump media, and the Trump media CEO, which is McGern, Kevin McGern, didn't say where the president of Post would be incredible. They're not. They're going to be the high-ranking accounts. But they're going to give traders millisecond asset.

And if you don't think traders already have millisecond asset, access. They do. They have millisecond access to PR. You know, you'll have, um, uh, you're good. You're good. Yeah, have access to like, uh, PR, like a press release comes out. Something comes out on a, I'll give you an example. If you've ever seen a press release of an earnings report, Vinnie, you have text and then at the bottom you have the charts. They'll drop that and then like right when the market closes or after the market closes. And these guys get millisecond asset access and we're making off hours trades or pre-market trades for tomorrow, but they're already in. They already have that because the AI grabs that and grabs that chart immediately and jumps on it. So this is

what they're saying, hey, Pat, would you like a subscription to the data feed and you will have millisecond access? Are you okay with it? I am not okay if this is any of the Trump stuff because I think that on the federal guidelines that will come out and be not legal. I don't think you can do that with his post. But when you're doing this for everybody else, man, I understand. I understand. understand they're going to make money for true social. I understand that it's legal, but if it's Trump's company, it's kind of a bad luck in a world where we have been calling Nancy Pelosi crooked. And yet here's another way that like the rich will get richer with proprietary access to data and nobody else has. Many thoughts. Well, the attitude is going to be time. Like you said,

if they keep doing it and their side keeps doing it, why can't the other side do it? And if it's legal, Pat, so be it. You know what I mean? It's the same as when Trump was talking with Hillary Clayton, which is like him and his taxes and blah. He's like, I'm taking advantage of the tax. You guys make the laws. You guys make the rules. If you guys want to change it, you don't want me to do it, then change it. And again, Tom, with me, we obviously know, you know.

It can be legal, but not a good look. Exactly. But at this point, he has two years left. He's on his way out. I think Trump is a whole different attitude and whole mindset. Now, he doesn't care anymore. And he's trying to make his look. He's going to pardon himself, his family.

He thinks he's going to do self-partening and pardoning all his family. Can he do it? Can he pardon himself? Biden just set the tone. Oh. Pat, how about this? 1,000% I want him to pardon everybody.

I don't care. Gardner, his chef, pardon every single, every babysitters, pardon everybody. Because if they're doing it, why not? Okay, because it's not going to stop. Once the Democrats come in power, they're going to do it again. So yeah, pardon everybody.

Who knows? I may need that one point. Shout out to Vinnie Oprah Winfrey, just you get a pardon, you get a pardon. So I'm with you on that. But I agree with Tom, man. I'm going to be a little bit critical of Trump right now. This is not a good look for the administration.

At the same time, you don't really know what the truth is. Whoever wrote this article, unfortunately is probably not, can't handle the truth. Bingo. But as much as I don't think it's a good look, here's something that maybe some people can learn. You can disagree with some policies of Trump, but not take your ball and go home and be a baby and not try to quit the team. I'm still on Team America. I'm still on Team Trump.

And I can criticize maybe this move isn't ideal. I don't know. Tom said it's not a good look. I agree. But one thing you got to give Trump credit for, the shady Democrats, people and even Republicans, they're doing stuff behind closed doors, back room deals. Trump's putting it out in the open. All right, cool. Pay. Pay for play. You know, quit pro quo. And essentially what Trump is honestly enabling people to do at the end of day, says, look, if Wall Street could get rich on this, you can too. Ideally, Main Street getting rich, of Wall Street should be the goal for everyday people growing their wealth. But Wall Street's going to do what Wall Street's going to do to make that money, essentially. So not the best look, but I get it. I don't know, man. I don't know. I think to me, to me, if you do a lot of this stuff, you're just going to allow the next guy to do.

Well, they did it. Well, he does it. It's kind of like when the kids say, well, he did this and he had candy. And he doesn't. Well, then I'm going to do this. No, that doesn't make it right if we're just going to use that script of them doing it. So if there's nothing illegal about it and the lawyers can argue that there's nothing illegal about it, okay, you want to do it? Fine. If there is, I'm not comfortable with it. I don't think it should be something.

You know, Stephen A. Smith did a video about a couple weeks ago saying, how did Clintons and Obama's all of a sudden become worth $100 million? How did it become so wealthy so quickly? How did you make your money? And it was calling them out. And it was kudos to him. And by the way, transitioning to Stephen A, Stephen A's daughter was on his podcast. Stephen A was just with us two days ago. I don't know what it was. Three days ago we're together.

He came, he was at the Yankees game with us. But him and his daughter are on the podcast. I think his daughter is going to be a superstar. I think she's going to be a superstar, talented. But what they're there, they ask a question of what his daughter would do. If Stephen A got older, would he have, would she have him living with her? and hiring a nurse or putting him in an old folks home. Listen to this answer, and I'm curious, Tom, what you think about this.

Go for it. You need to find me my own house. You really are on drugs. You need to find me an Amex card. You need to find me more clothes. You know what I mean? There's so much to build, like how you said you're still going up. We can go up together.

This doesn't have to be a you thing. It can be a we thing. And then when I'm older and I have nothing. Nursing home. And I need you to take care of me. Nursing home. You can't do that. Nursing home. You're not going to do that.

Two words, dad. Nursing home. So you'd put your dad in a nursing home. Nursing home. Well, what else would I do? To care of you myself? How about that? Or put me in your home and have 24-hour nursing assistant.

In my house? You know. With my kids? And my car? And my husband, in my pool, in my guest room? I'm just your dad. Exactly. The one that made it all possible.

I would love you from a distance, Dad. You know I love you from a distance. We better that way. You're my heart, though. Can we leave now? Do you just say goodbye to the audience? Because I'm done with this. I had a great time here with you guys.

You pause it right there. I would watch this reality show all day. So what do you think? Tom, what do you think about what she said, nursing home? He's making the money. This is the highest paid guy in the marketplace. He's the golden space. He's made a lot of money. That money's probably going to go to her. What do you think about the answer she gave? Stephen A, if you're listening, and I know you are. I have two lovely daughters that have a slightly different perspective. And I think they need to get together because I think it's just perspective of kids sometimes

and that they need to see it. My mom lived with. us and grandma was playing cards grandma was playing uno and they loved it absolutely loved it my sister's up in bointin beach we'd come to visit we would go each other dinner and it was a really precious time and i think as your daughter gets older and closer to that and she can see the joy of her kids with grandpa you know doing things playing uno going out in the pool doing all that clearly stephen a you're going to have your own house. It'd be more like she and her husband, her kids, maybe they get the privilege

to move into your house this side of inheritance, and then you all live together as a family. But if you ever want to get together, one of my daughters in town, you and Samantha, let's get together. It won't be a fight. It's going to be perspectives on the table. Stephen, if I was you, I would right

now, you know, when you're doing the trust and everything, put it in there, sign it to where nobody gets anything unless you get to live in a with them. They have to take care of you. You do that? Nobody gets one dollar. You don't get a dollar genius. I'm in my underwear walking around your house with a coffee doing whatever I want to do. He's down the street from some of the best estate planners. Oh, he's Gucci. He can get it done. Adam, how do you process it? You have a different angle than what Adam and then what Tom and Vinny just said. Yeah, I do, man. Look, I love Stephen A, but when I watch that little thing, you know,

that emoji with the face that goes like this? That was me for Stephen A. But at the, at the the very least we know you know they say you get it from your mama she gets her talent her personality from her dad she is captivating I'll give her that but she failed the test you think Stephen A is not thinking in 3D he says let me put my beautiful talented daughter on camera and I'm a tester let me see if she's gonna take care of dad when he gets old sweetheart unless you make a hundred million dollars you're not gonna have what that has he's gonna what's called an estate plan and term care and he's going to have it all set up he was seen if his daughter loved him enough

to not throw him under the bus on tv and she did with grace i may add but not the best look but stephen a ain't stupid he knows what he's doing i agree with vny on the will but i see what pvd does with his dad moved him across the country part of the life it's it's incredible i see the relationship that tom has with babes i see the relationship that viny has with His mom, it makes me want to get closer with my mom. We all know that my dad isn't here, but at the end of the day, I hope that Stephen and his daughter worked this out. It wasn't the best look for her.

Yeah, so, Liz, look, listen, I mean, a part of this, I'm sure they're having fun, and they're trolling the audience. Of course. And they're rage-baiting the audience. But let me tell you, I saw something just yesterday, maybe even early this morning by Dr. Oz. Kay, I don't know if you have that clip I just sent you. I just texted it to you.

There's a clip I just saw from Dr. Oz, the benefits of having your kids around your parents, meaning grandparents. Watch this. Go ahead and break it down. If you can refresh it, watch us, folks. A secret weapon for success may not be a tutor or a coach or an expensive app. It might be a grandparent.

And as one, I love this research. See what I'm talking about? First off, grandparents are anxiety busters. Kids with involved grandparents tend to have better emotional well-being. Why is that? Because grandparents provide unconditional love with a lot fewer rules. We can hand out cookies and life advice in the same afternoon. Second, we're brainbuilders.

Studies show grandparents can have a huge impact on a child's vocabulary and their language development. It turns out to hearing the same story for the 50th time is actually educational. Who knew? And third, this is a big one. A strong bond with a grandparent can help protect kids from risky behaviors. like jumping into the bull, right? They can help them feel connected to someone who loves them, believes in them,

and occasionally sneak some extra dessert. They tend to make better choices that way. So the next time you're deciding whether they call grandma or granddad, remind everybody that it's not just family time. It's emotional support, it's brain training. A little extra protection for the road. You can pause right.

I don't know. Does Gabriel ever sneak an extra dessert? Are you kidding me? Like, if you look at Brooklyn, what... Contraband candy. Yesterday we come home, and she goes to Vinny. Uncle Vinny, they hit all the cookies. And I'm like, Uncle, and Vinny goes like this. Oh, they can't do that.

You deserve everything. I'm like, Vinny, no. Let me tell you guys what happened. I'm going to give you the funniest scene. I wish I were recording this. We're at the Yankee Stadium. We're giving a tour to all our clients at Bedivit Consulting. If you're one of our clients that, you know, we had an event at the house here, which

anyways. So we go to the Yankee Stadium. we're done with the tour I come out Jen brought the kids okay try to visualize I come out

Brooklyn is 20 yards away from me I'm walking up to her Vinnie's over here Brooklyn goes like this oh my God she's running like this and I put my hands out and she runs right past me to Vinny

and she goes to Vinny you know why cookies she brought a ring what do you call it ring pops you ask me don't get me wrong she loves Vinny not just the candidate.

We have a very good relationship together. I love her. But she runs up and then she gets the ring pop. Everybody wants to do everything for Brooklyn. The part I want to go back to with Stephen A and his daughter is there's a massive benefit to being around grandparents who are positive and who give good advice and counsel to the kids. By the way, when my kids are around Tom, you're getting smarter. Forget about kids.

I'm getting smart. Every time I'm around Tom, they're telling stories. when I came back yesterday we're talking about Homer it was a competition of who can give more stories about Homer and it's him or Brooke. It's like, well, here's what happened. Here's what happened. Brooke one.

But the idea is you're always learning. So, you know, I think it's a special gift when you have your grandparents, your parents around your kids. It's an added layer of reassurance, knowledge, wisdom, a bunch of benefits and probably a little bit more cookie and candy because Papa knows. Papa has a section. And he tells me, but I only give sugar-free candy to Brooklyn.

It's only sugar-free candy. I said that it's still red. You know, these are not good things. No, no, it's okay. It's okay. Anyways, you know, I got to change some of the guidelines we have when it comes out to candy, but we're figuring out part out. Let me go into a couple other stories here before we wrap up.

One of the stories I'm going to get into is Bill Maher. Here's Bill Maher. Bill Maher is being interviewed about who he's going to be voting for. And you don't hear him say stuff like this, ever. But here's what Bill Maher recently said. He says, yes, my vote is in play. What does that mean? Here's Bill.

You told J.D. Vance, you're open. Your vote is up for grabs. Yes, my vote is in play. Because it can't be Trump running. So I'm not living in communist America. I mean, I know the talking point is that it's not communism and socialism. Okay, I've read the quotes from the DSA platform from their own. own mouths. Don't tell me I'm not seeing what I am seeing. And DSA, again, they say things like,

you know, take over of key industries, government. That's communism, you know, there is a definition. By the way, Trump's doing that too. Of course. Yes. And to a degree that we haven't seen any other president of a Republican deal. That's crazy too. It's got a piece of Intel. Right. A piece of the AI company. He treats everything like it's a real estate deal. You told J.D. Vance here. So, What's happening here? What's happening here with Bill? You think anything's happening with Bill? And how many other bills you think are out there?

There's, Pat, there's multiple. Like, I mean, Stephen A and I love him in the death, but like the Bill Mars and a lot of these people that have woken up, Chamoth and all them, Pat, they're in a different category. But they're finally realizing what you created, okay? But it's too late. For 10 years, the Bill Mars and all these people cheered as all these radical voices, Pat,

took over their armed party and while they didn't give a damn their only message was orange man trump bad he's bad hitler they obsessed over him they mocked anybody like us that sounded the alarm okay they labeled anybody that was talking crap pat as hate and they applauded while these extremists hijacked the agenda now some of them like him are waking up but guess what this horror the Frankenstein monster that you help create they're here and they're not going anywhere pat it's too late, okay? The fight for the identity of the party, it's not it's coming, it's around the corner, it's here, Pat. It is here, okay? They didn't lose their identity. They surrounded it. They wanted it. And while they were looking this way, Pat, this kept growing and growing and growing. And now Trump is

on his way out, two years left, and they're turning back and they're like, oh my God. And for Bill Mar, for Bill Mar, one of the biggest left this out there. Now he's finally saying, oh, wait a minute. this socialism, communism, guess what? You guys spent freaking 10 years talking crap about one man and now your party is finished. So now deal with it and that's it.

The first thing that Bill Maher said is well, Trump's not running. So that shows you that the first thing on their mind is no Trump, not Trump, never Trump, all Trump bad. And not everything is in that category. You could take a look at what's happening in a lot of sectors and a lot of things in the economy.

We got to get the war done. We got to deal with data. centers. There's a lot of things that can and will and should be addressed. So, but it's all about not Trump. A lot of things that can and will and should be addressed. So, but it's all about not Trump. Not Trump, not Trump, not Trump. Yep. So now that there's an open decision, he backs up and what does he say, I'm not sure I like what I see next to the D. Yeah. I'm not sure. And here's him, by the way, here's him saying that to J.D. Venson. And by the way, the D. is guys, please, like, yeah, Tom is on a roll today. I don't know Tom is like Democrats. Let's go ahead.

Yeah, Democrats. If this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this Democratic Socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, with they don't believe in capitalism, no prisons. If this is where they're going, my vote is in play. Okay. I like to hear that. It actually always has been. I just, every year, I don't make my decision by who was an R or D. I actually always came to the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better.

Sure. And voted for them. Okay. And Trump can't run again, and he'd be a little too exciting for me anyway. So it's either going to be you or Rubio. Like, if this is where the Democrat... If you would have said 10 years ago, there's going to come a time that Bill Maher is going to say Marco Rubio or J.D. Vance, maybe even five years ago.

That bill is there. Imagine how much... And by the way, do you know the more and more you watch what... You know how I keep saying the Democratic candidate could be AOC, could be AOC, could be AOC Absolutely. I am hoping it is. I am hoping it is.

Why? You know why? Because if she's the Democratic candidate, there is a lot. We think, we think, right, if you look at this right, and Gavin Hussam is one, who's two, AOSF, who's three? AOC, but by how much?

By 1%. AOSF just came up because he's been calling out Trump lately. And the full nation is. has not seen him yet. I hope it's AOC. I hope it's AOC. Because if it's AOC, you know, we keep thinking like,

all Democrats are bad people, all Republicans are bad people, all Muslims are bad people, all nationals are bad people, all Jews are bad people. That's simply not true. And we have to just understand that part. Okay.

Are there some Jews that want control and they want to do this and do, yes. Are there some Muslims that want to see Sharia law coming to America? Yes. You know, are there some Democrats that want socialism and communism? Yes. Are there some, you know, Republicans that want all-colored people gone and just a white

nationalist? And yes. Are there, yes, we can't say no. But there's millions of sensible Democrats. That they're Democrats because of pro-choice. That they're Democrats because of what happened with Martin Luther King or some of the events back in the days. That they're Democrats because of.

other issues that took place. And they became Democrats. Those Democrats are on the trading block right now, open to the idea of going conservative. So I hope socialism makes a massive move. But if there's one thing Republicans have to get a right, we get the masses, if the Republicans don't understand the solution,

and it's not a hard fix, by the way. It's actually a very easy fix. If a Republican, if JD or Marco Rubio, one of these two guys comes out and talks about no taxes, no federal income tax paid. If you vote me, no federal income tax paid for anybody under the age of 30. What does that mean? We want to give you a head start.

That would be the hottest thing you'll announce. It's about $250 billion. I don't know the exact amount. I think it's a $250 billion of how much revenue comes in. Can you pull up how much taxes is collected of people under the age of 30? they have to figure out a way to come out and do something that folks under the age of 30 don't pay any federal income taxes. You know what to happen if they do that?

Why are we doing this? This is your head start. Hurry up and make money to get the down payment for your house. Hurry up and make money to get money to have kids. Hurry up and make money in your 20s and don't lala gag because this is your only chance you have that you will not be paying federal income tax. Go make that money.

Republicans have to figure out a way to make life better for the youth because they are really going through it. They are. So to me, I hope it's an AOC. I hope it's a socialist. I hope it's that person. And I think Democrats are going to be like, look, I'm a Democrat, but I'm not a socialist. Those are two different things.

And I hope that changes right there. So total federal income, I said $250 billion. It's around $275 billion. If you just do federal income taxes. Okay. Let's invest that into the kids. That money's going to go into the economy anyways. All that $275 to $350 billion is saying what

Cut some shit that you do at the government Give that money to them That money goes into the economy They're going to spend it They're going to buy a house They're going to buy a car They're going to have kids They're going to invest into education

Some of them they're going to invest into some dumb things But that's the risk you got to take But if somebody can get behind that message That message I think that'll be attractive And I'd like to see one of those two guys Saying it early Don't wait till election time

somebody needs to on a podcast, drop it, to be the first to say it. Rubio or JD. One, they have to believe in that idea. Of course. And two is, let's find a way to make life better for our youth. Pat, amazing point. That should be the campaign freaking slogan. Like, no federal tax under 30.

That would be on a T-shirt and sell. But guys, let's not, like Bill Maher is acting like he's so surprised. And who did he endorse in 2016? It wasn't Hillary Clinton. Who did he back? Bernie Sanders. the freaking guy that goes to Russia. Who is this, Bill Maher?

Bill Maher supported him. He said, FBA, he goes, I want to help your campaign. I want to see you get the nomination. So it's not as if you were willing to vote for a guy that's a socialist slash communist that wants to go to freaking Russia and be the all the taxing all of your freaking people, all the millionaires, the millionaires. It's like, give me a freaking break. It's too late.

It's too late. So now you guys have to deal with what you guys created. He's turning and there's people that are noticing it. I remember I was pretty shocked. I just went back and looked it up. On May 15th, Bill Maher did an amazing post on X, I thought, was well written. I hope he wrote it and it wasn't one of his writers. I hope it came from his heart because it certainly sounded like it did.

And he sends it up there. And Sarah Eisen, who's very conservative and she's on CNBC, she retweets it with simply this, Pat, every word, period, because she agreed with where he was going. And so I believe that there is a change going with him. you know, you can't judge, you get to be careful about who do you support back then, Vinnie, because that's very true and he said a lot of things that hurt and sting conservatives like us. But you're also allowed to morph and change.

I agree. You're allowed to evolve forward. I agree. That's fine. You know, when I hear the things that my mom said when she first got married to my dad, that was the influence of her Democrat parents who were FDR Democrats. But you look at my mom now, forget about it. She's evolved and she's older and concerned about security and things like that. I think you're seeing that there's a lot more to your question that you asked, Pat,

I think, yes, there are a lot more Bill Mares that are finding it safe to come out in public because when Bill Maher does that, he's allowing other people that have different platforms to say it's safe to come out and say that. I'm coming to you, Adam. Thoughts. Yes, sir. Well, I agree with what PPD said about individual groups and their own self-interest. Every group should be looking out for their own self-interest, for your family, for the people around you, the catch is, does that come with, do you want not only what's best for you, but what's best for America?

The problem that Bill Maher is realizing that a lot of us have realized for a few years now, that a lot of us have realized for decades, is the Democratic Party is not the Democratic Party that we're used to. They don't love America, full stop. This new DSA, they don't want to save America. They don't want to pass the Save America Act. They want to change or tear down America. So thank God, Bill Maher, 70 years old, voting Democrats for 50 years almost,

is gonna potentially change his vote. I'm not so much worried about that. I'm worried about what that represents. I think 2028, more people that have voted Democrat their entire life are gonna for a second say, you know what? Is this really me? And my advice to them is make them earn your vote.

Don't just give it to them because you're black or you're Jewish or you're a woman. Make each party earn your vote. And Tom, I think at the end of the day, it will be Rubio, but we'll see what happens with that. And Tom, I could forgive him. And guess what? If he wants to come and vote Republican and help us in 2020, so we could keep the future looking bright, I'm all for it. But the damage has been done for the 10 years that it was Tom.

Think about everything that happened for those 10 years from the border to everything. Crickets. It was just Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. and now we're left with this I thousand percent agree and now they let the enemy come in Tom and now we have to deal with it and I'll forgive him

that's fine I'm a Christian good I'll forgive you and I'll do this I have another candidate for you and I think you would be into this candidate so I think you would be into this candidate so the state of Maine produces incredible candidates I didn't know where you were going

and this candidate is so talented can you type in Maine Senator Ashley Ashley? Webb? I want you to watch her break down her policies on why he is. I keep saying she and he, why he is so qualified to become the senator. If you have the clip, is that it?

Social media sensation. Is this a candidate? That's him. There he is. Okay, yeah, that's the one right there. Can you play that clip? Folks, the only thing I tell you is my only suggestion as you're watching is you're going to be inspired to want to vote and support him financially. But I'm telling you, take a couple days to assess your vote and your support.

Play this clip. This is Ashley Webb. What's his real name? Do we know his real name? I don't know what his real name is, but this is Ashley Webb. Go for it. What qualifications do you have to serve in the U.S. Center? Oh, I ran for office several times.

Didn't win, but he didn't run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then I write my own books. And then expose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to the people and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. Like you're we get lied. Your whole life is a lie, dude. It's like what's going on with ice. Pretend like pretending like these victims did something wrong.

Like that's unacceptable. And I suppose the biggest thing is like I'm just an angry citizen now. And if I got elected, I'd be an angry senator. And I think that would probably be their worst nightmare. The Democratic Party in a nutshell is right there. The same thing that we were just talking about, about the Bill Maher. That's what you guys created. A man pretending to be a freaking woman talking about people lying and deceived.

But I think Bill Maher is against that. And by the way, I think most, but honestly, I think, Vinny, this is the part that we have to understand. I think truly most sensible Democrats are against that. I think the average Democrat, if you're, we have 10% of a 10 or 15% of our audience is Democrat that watch us. podcast, right? If you're a sensible Democrat and you watch it, you're going to be like, what the hell are you guys doing? And by the way, how to hell did he make it on the stage in the first place? Oh my God. How did that happen? You know what he said? I don't even want to say,

do you want to read this? I don't even want to read this. By the way, show it. I'll let the audience read this. Oh, my, I can't even say it out loud. Oh. Like, I mean, this is a question being asked and the guy says he gets his monthly period but through his you know what behind you think the average you but by the way honestly i'm going to ask you i'm curious on what you'll say what percentage of democrats hear this and they say i'll support this honestly honestly i want to know what you think no i disagree i think it's 50 no no no i don't think i don't get that what can i say one thing no let me stick up for myself bill mar didn't start talking negatively about the trans move until when till when?

Recently. So where was he for all those years when we were saying it? But to be fair with him, one of the greatest monologues he did breaking down saying at this pace, we're all going to be gay. Remember that one thing that he did? And that was like two and a half years ago. So I don't know. I think Bill deep down inside is so furious with his Democratic Party that he's been so publicly

supported for decades. And he is sitting there saying what the hell is going on? But the only reason I don't even want to get into this. I don't want to ask you guys, what do you guys think about the story? I'm moving on. I only show this to give you another option for somebody they can be excited about for the future. Okay, but did you see the conspiracy? Can you show it, Humberto?

That Ashley Webb is actually Grand Platner because he's, she's running to take his spot. No, Roberto, I slacked it to you. This, guys, I'm telling you right now, look at the eyes, look at the facial structure, and you guys tell me that this isn't the same person. Adam, could you see this? Watch this. Look at this. Guys, wait for it. Wait for it.

Oh my God. Einhorn is Finkel and Finkel is Einhorn. That is... I don't know. At least thank you. I appreciate that. You know what? Pat wants to move on. I'll say this. Vermont Democrats and Maine Democrats are not normal Democrats.

If you listen to them up there, they're not. No, they're not. I'm not picking on them. I'm being descriptive. Because this guy is like a meatloaf song. They want this candidate. And I will do anything. No, no, no.

It's the other song. It's, it, this is Maine Democrats. I want you. I need you. But there ain't no way I'm ever. I won't do that, Tom. No, no, no. It's I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way ever going to love you.

But don't feel sad because two out of three ain't bad. That's the main Democrats with this guy, baby. All right. I kind of think that Vinny's right. I don't know if that was Graham Platner or Mamfatner. Or. Ma'am Fattner, I don't know who that was, but... Patry, core Democrats are cringing.

Just when I thought Maine Democrats couldn't get any more absurd, they rolled out this dude. And I feel like it's like the Austin Power scene when it's like, that's not your mother, that's a man, baby. And it's like, no, it was actually your mom. Let me read this story. What a ridiculous candidate. Let me read this story.

Let me read the story. Olive Garden, folks, becomes unlikely face of voter ID after restaurant policy goes viral. I don't know if you guys saw this tweet or not. So I retweeted it. If you want to go to Twitter and just go to my Twitter account, you should find it easily. Just go to it.

So Olive Garden. You guys know, this is one of those restaurants that is on their last lifeline. Like they're barely, honesty. Yeah. They're barely trying to make it. Yeah. But after this, I may have to take my family

to just go to Olive Garden once just to support them. Can you go on their tweet first, please? Can you go on there? Because they're responding to somebody. Go up? Yeah, so there you go. So zoom in a little bit, what you need to know about the pasta pass sale starts tomorrow. So then Super WoMario asks a question, are you able to order pasta for our family using this pasta pass

or that exclusively for the person with the card at the table? I don't know about you, but it'd be really weird with just one person having unlimited pasta while everyone awkwardly waits. And this is what Olive Garden said. No, the never-ending pasta passes only for use of the passholder whose name is printed on the pass. Passes are personalized and non-transferable pass-orders must present a what? A valid photo ID, along with the pass at the time of ordering. You know, that's from Olive Garden. And we had to translate that from German.

Nine! See, never-ending pasta is only for the passholder. Now, keep a mind. Okay, I don't know what that meant, but, you know, I keep this. You were doing so good today on the jokes, Tom. So when you read this, you're kind of sitting there saying, wait a minute, I need an ID to get this unlimited pasta because it's so important, but I don't need an ID to be able to vote for president. No. You imagine what's more important, Vinny, pasta or president?

Pat, have you ever tried the money? It's really pasta, right? I mean, by the way, now here's the other thing. what percentage of Democrats you think support voter ID for Americans? What percentage of Democrats? According to a CNN poll, what percentage of Democrats? Can you pull it up? Pull up that video.

You know which one I'm talking about? Can I guess that? No, no, I want you both of you guys, I want you to get. 72% go ahead. Or 60. Yeah. I think 70% of Democrats think that ID should be needed to vote. I will show.

I will. Okay. So check this out. Right there, right there. Play that clip, please. Just play that clip. Okay? 85% of white people favorite.

82% of Latino. 76% of black Americans favorite. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country. Thank you. A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party

and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nikki Menon. Respectfully. In fact, you should have a photo. You can pause it right there. Respectfully, Harry, which party is

trying to make it controversial. Because that's the other poll, not the Republican Party. The Democratic Party, like Newsom and others, are trying to make that controversial that even blacks are saying, why shouldn't I be able to get an ID? I can get an ID. Hispanics, I can get an ID. But the Democratic Party says, no, no, you can't. Don't say that.

It's very hard for you. So kudos to Olive Garden. they accidentally if you were to bet and see Olive Garden politically the person who tweeted it which way you think they lean politically Oh Republican No the person that tweeted on Olive Garden

That's a 19 year old social media coordinator that's probably tweeting that back And giving a detail It's like a 22 year old something like that Could be 85% Oh gosh Well Pat maybe Olive Garden should run the voting system In the country

Well that you vote and they give you like a handful of pasta Or like a meatball like in a national day off to vote Yes And free lunch Free lunch. Dude. Olive Garden, you should definitely... With an ID.

Olive Garden should take over and run the voting. It would happen on one day, too, and everybody would get fat. So, Adam, what are you at this? By the way, when's the last time all of you guys had Olive Garden? Honestly, when's the last time you ate at Olive Garden? I ate there one time, and it was so... It was ridiculous. When was it?

How long ago? 20 some years ago. Oh, you haven't been there 20 years ago. I haven't. When's the last time you had out Olive Garden? I don't think I've been to Olive Garden in the last three years. Three? Three years.

You were three years ago. I haven't been to all of garden like a little last three weeks, man. Adam, when's the last time you brought olive garden? At least three weeks since I went to Olive Garden. Man, I'll tell you what. I haven't ate a carb in 22 years, Pat. I'm trying to stay lean and mean. What?

Guys, it's a basic question, Adam. When is the last time you went to Olive Garden? 20-something years ago. Okay, that's all you got to say. So, okay, now give me your thoughts on this Olive Garden story. Go ahead. Tell us your Olive Garden store. What are your thoughts about this Olive Garden story?

with IDs. Well, this is the rules for the, but not for we. Everybody knows that ID makes sense, guys. Can we get past the fact that you need an ID for everything, to rent a car, to buy cigarettes, to buy alcohol? I'm traveling across the world right now. What do you think I just show up with an Olive Garden pass to get through customs?

You have to show your ID. You have to show your passport. It's nonsensical. 75, 80% of Americans are like, yeah, yeah, you need an ID because they have a brain. So if Olive Garden can do it, it we should probably take a note from prima posto bill and implement in our voting systems but some of our government officials and politicians are too weak and feckless to actually bring this up let me tell you we won't forget we're going to ask for your idea that's Amy coney barrett that's why

she should resign Amy coney barrett should resign she could have done something about it the supreme court should have done something about it this was a top three issue for me and she voted against it Okay, she voted against it. Can you pull up? Did Amy Coney Barrett vote to support voter ID? On Chad GBT. Did Amy Coney Barrett support voter ID at the Supreme Court? Okay.

So the point is this was, this was... How many people... Question for you in PVD? How many people, what? How many justices voted for and against? I think it was a five, four against, and what's his name? Kavanaugh had a explanation on his if I'm not mistaken. Who are the justices that voted against the same?

We talked about this just last week. The three amigas plus Roberts plus Tony Barron. So. So. One some five more decisions. Two conservatives. Three liberals. Can you go a little bit lower?

Go a little bit lower. A little bit lower. Wasn't that the chart that we had that we went through this? Hey, wasn't at the chart that we had. We had a chart about this last week. So to me, a bigger part about this is that this was a common sense thing that Supreme Court voted against it, that the president came back and said, I'm not doing the housing bill with the Congress unless if you add voter ID to it. And then eventually he came back and said, let's go and do it because it's the right thing to do.

And they did. This was the chart. Yeah, this was a chart if you want to make it bigger. This is Amy Coney-Barrid. Pre-2020, she voted 81% of the time with the conservatives. And then afterwards, 59, 57, 50%. and she just became the person that's not helping pass a lot of the things that the American people voted for. And so you need Supreme Court to have a lot of these things happen.

Let me get to the last story before we wrap up. Last story I want to get to is this is a weird story. Weird story. Pastors are using AI to help write sermons. Grapple with where to draw the line. And you know who wrote this story? Wall Street Journal. I would have never guessed Wall Street Journal

would write the story, but let me read it to you. Half of all pastors say they use AI for brainstorming or idea generation and roughly according to court to write sermons up from 12% in 2024, according to a Borna Barna group. The trend has drawn theological pushback to the Vatican earlier this year. Pope Leo warned clergy that artificial intelligence can't give a true amelie.

Darrell Stelter Stettler, lead pastor of Bible Methodist Church in Oklahoma City is among Chad GPT's top 1% users and runs a Facebook group of 500 pastors experimenting with technology. He makes $600 a week plus a housing stipend

and takes construction jobs on the side. A sermon used to take him 10 to 15 hours to prepare a chat bot does it now. First batch research shaves off several hours. This AI does not enjoy what it finds. He said it cannot love it. he saves goes towards people the hospital visits. Tom, what do you think about pastors using Chad GPT for their sermons? Does it bother you? It doesn't bother me if they're using

it just to pull research together. But you know what's the interesting thing about the pastor is is being able to bring it to the lives of people where they're living today. In other words, scripture doesn't change. Price teaching doesn't change. How we get saved doesn't change. But the things that we're fighting as parents, like our kids, you know, making decisions and feeling insecure because social media, that's a new thing. And bringing messages to people where they live today in the new context of life as we see it, as it gets complicated, it doesn't bother me if they're using chatGBT to assemble it together. It's not like he's going to say, hey, I'd like to mix it up a little bit on the story of the exodus from Egypt.

Should the Jews make it or not? That's like, no. No, no. We made it, Tom. Yeah, exactly. We made it. Exactly. You see what I mean, Adam.

It's not like you're going to take AI. say, nope, the waters of the Red Sea close in and all those poor Jewish people die. No, they cross on dry land. So it's not going to change the teachings, but I hope, and what the Pope said, it's not a true homily, meaning you're not bringing it together into the life of people. Because part of being a pastor in preaching and teaching is you preach warnings and you teach love, and then you preach applications. So what goes through here, it doesn't really bother me, but I hope it's not a shortcut to people maybe being an uninformed deliverer. If someone did a chatGBT on your sales system that you built, Pat, and then they had no experience

in sale and they're trying to make videos about it, it's going to look clumsy because they're not authentic. They have nothing to draw on. Am I right? Okay, it's the same thing for a pastor. If that's happening, then that would really bother me. But if it's somebody like Dudley saying, hey, I'm going to organize, bring me all the verses together on love from Corinthians through. Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I'd like to talk about but Paul preaching on love

from a New Testament perspective. And he can pull that together in 10 minutes and put his sermon together, then I think that's a really wonderful thing. Yeah. Vinnie, where are you at with this? Well, I love, I'm going to go with Tom, what he said. AI should be used as a tool.

Like if he uses a pastor to like organize notes or, you know, where is it say this? And it brings that up. It's like using it as like Google or like a Bible app. But the second it starts writing the sermon, Pat, and they're just memorizing it. I'm not a fan of it. Like, it should come from the sermon from like prayer and, you know, you're studying the word and the Holy Spirit. What are you going to say, Tom?

The Holy Spirit and Spirit inspiring you? Yeah, not the way it says in the New Testament. Yeah, not in algorithms. And that, who knows, whoever's in charge of it starts twisting this or watering down the scripture and making it not go the way that it's really supposed to go. So, you know, people go to church not to hear AI. I want to hear the pastor. I want to hear his experience, his story, and what God has placed in his heart. That's what I want to hear.

Quick shout out to Dudley. Dudley one day shows me every, what do you call it? Sermon? Sermon he's ever given. All the notes? And all the notes. And Vinny, every word of every sermon he's ever given is written on a yellow pad boxes and boxes of the last 40 years.

And it's insane. It's like the Library of Congress. Everything he reads from stage. the pulpit, he hand-wrote it. I love that. Everything. He's handwritten it. So, no wonder he's one the greatest pastors we have in America when you would look forward to going to hearing him speak on Sunday. If you've never checked them out, go check him out some of the sermons. Dudley Rutherford. He's phenomenal. Adam, I'll give you the final words on this because I know you're heavily involved. You spent a lot of time with pastors and let's see what the crazy thing that you're going to

say right now to us. Go ahead. I also speak sarcasm, so I understand exactly what you're saying, pvd but what I what I think about chat GPT and AI is use it but just don't become it so the one thing that chat GPT cannot replace whether you're a podcaster or a pastor is the ability to tell a story and connect with people on a human level we're getting so robotic so technical so much AI out there that we don't know what's real what I'm so happy about and encouraging about and thank you PBD for kind of helping me is more people going to church, more people going to synagogue, more people getting God in their life. I'm in Israel right now. I didn't think I'd be doing a podcast from Israel, minus the audio issues. And here's a funny story for you, PBD. I'm going to tie this

whole thing together. You know, I land in Israel, and I go to this little bookstore. And you know what book I see right there? Dudley Rutherford's book about his trips to Israel and what he learned walking in the footsteps of Christ. I love that. So I bought the book. So I'll be reading that book from Pastor Dudley Rutherford. How great of a story is not. So it's full circle coming together. Come home to Jesus, BVD, because he loves you.

And I know we're done, Pat. I want to give Adam a shout out, which I freaking love you for it. Adam, where are you? I'm in Jerusalem right now. And you're still wearing the American flag, the pen. That's what I'm talking about. I interviewed. You'll see, I interviewed the former Israeli

ambassador to the U.S., Michael Orrin, he had an Israeli and American flag pin on. I said, sir, yeah, I have to be America. Yeah, that's it. Thank you very much. Hey, while you're there, go visit Ahavat, Yeshua. And it's right in the middle of Jerusalem. Write it down. Go see Ahavat, Yeshua. Go visit that group. Tom, you must have read my mind because I'm going to be there tomorrow, baby. Are you serious? That exact place? I'm not joking. That's fantastic. I'm going to the church. of the holy sepulchre tomorrow.
