Did you ever think you would make it? I said I'm so much like it takes sweet with a story. I know this life's meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever signs. Right here. You are a one of one?

My son's right there. I think I've ever said this before. Folks, hope you had a great weekend. I know we went yesterday. This was the horror weekend for us. We watched Obsession last night, a scary movie. I don't think I've laughed this hard. What do you mean?

You were sitting next to me. Vinny will tell you, I was laughing so hard. At a horror movie? It was so funny for me. And then we watched backrooms on Saturday. We'll talk about that. There's a story talking about how YouTubers are taking over the world and they're taking over media.

We'll talk about tonight, this guy who happens to be the 45th and the 47 president is going to a Knicks game. And the Knicks are up to O. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Too low. By the way, so imagine he goes

and the Spurs win and they come back and win, do you know what happens to him in New York? They're going to blame it on him. Yeah, if he goes and he wins, he may pick up 20,000 voters from New York. Blame it on the rain, you know what? Potentially. He may have some, but if the Knicks go and sweep the spurs,

that is a very interesting thing. On top of that, Spencer Pratt yesterday. By the way, Rabbi, I sent you a video I want to show later on when we go through it. Remember the mayoral race when the night, which was June 2nd, Karen Bass came first place and Spencer Pratt was number two. We had almost like an eight-point lead on Nithia Raman. And Raman cried as if she lost.

Concession speech. Yeah, I mean, not even the concession speed, but there's one now them celebrating that she is now advancing and she is going to be ahead of Spencer Pratt. And it's just a mess. Guys, did you know like this the shocking part? If you remember last week on the podcast, I joked about being able to vote with your badly total fitness membership. It was a joke.

Yeah. It was literally a joke. Well, guess what? We're going to show you on a California.gov website that you can actually go and vote with your gym membership. Tell me that the, I mean, you have to realize how ridiculous this is. And then this race car driver who is dating Kim Kardashian, who has won 105 Formula One races. who has won seven championships. He's sitting down with Jay Shetty,

and he tells Jay Shetty, I have a problem with people being billionaires. It's too much money. This is the same guy that moved to Monaco to not pay taxes. Yeah. This is the same guy that moved to Monaco. This is the same guy that drives around

$4 million cars and wearing these purple outfits, which nobody cares. Nobody cares that you're doing any of this stuff. Isn't he worth hundreds of millions of dollars? Half a billion dollars? He's worth a half a billion? He's worth a half a billion? He is worth a half a million?

He is worth a half a million? He's worth a half a million? because he's very good at what he does. And there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, that's great. If he was worth $10 billion, if the market thinks that's what you're worth, go for it.

But he's going out there saying, I don't think there should be billionaires. Half a billion, yes, but not billionaires because there's a big difference between a half a billion out of a week. I'm noble, but, you know, these billionaires, it's just too much. Cry me a flipping river and go win some races.

You know, instead of talking about all this stuff. Anyways, a couple other stories. Iran strikes Israel, okay? Then Israel strikes Iran. and I think Iran, I don't know who attacked who first. I think Israel probably attacked Iran first, if I'm not mistaken. Rob, can you correct me? Who attacked who first?

Israel attacked Lebanon. Israel attacked Lebanon. Then Iran attacked Israel. Then Israel attacked Tehran. Am I saying that part correctly? Correct. Okay. So, and then Trump comes out and says, what are you doing again? Can you imagine this is like that kid, the mischievous kid that like every single time you have to say, sit down?

Sit down. Sit down. And they still don't sit down. B.B. is that guy. He doesn't want to sit down. And Trump is telling him, get out the way. Let me do the deal. And then there was this interview yesterday with Meet the Press.

I watched the whole thing. Did you get a chance to watch the whole thing? I didn't watch the whole thing. I watched the whole thing. It was ruined by the rain. It took forever. Well, I mean, you can blame it on the rain all you. Millie, shout out.

The challenge is that it ended within walking out. And by the way, if you're in the AV industry, okay, you're an AV guy, you're an audiovisual guy, and you've done events before, you know what people got upset over in that entire interview. You know what the president did at the end? Jake just whispered to me, right? He's been furious. He's been asking for PTO all day today. Oh, yeah. He's pissed. He stepped on the mic. On the audio. On the audio mic. How dare you do that? But if you watch this interview when he walks out, Kristen Welker's like, I came all the way from Wisconsin. And the president said, it's flipping raining. And I'm walking out because you're talking some gibberish. And then they left. But I think

they're going to do another one. Did you watch the whole thing? I watched the whole thing. Yeah. It was beginning. It was beginning. It was beginning. 47 minutes or something. And Bent, Pentagon comes out and makes claims that the race threat of Israel spying on U.S. to the highest level. Can you imagine? Like, they would never do such a thing, right? Mossad would never spy on other people, neither would CIA. And so the people that are surprised with that, we'll talk about that as well. And then we've got a couple of other stories.

Hopefully we'll get into that I really want to get into. Iran told to leave the U.S. within 24 hours. So imagine you're done with the game, World Cup. Game is over with. All right, hey, what are you guys doing? No, you can't have dinner. Get out of here. Go to a different place.

That's literally what's happening with Iran. Isn't that a shame that's taking place? I mean, look, the president can do that. That's one of the ways to force the negotiation to be done. I have a feeling he's pushing that agenda so then Iran can come in and do it even faster. He's trying to use every card that he has. I don't know how much power this card has, but they are definitely using this card. They have at least one player defected every one of these international things going back 10 years?

One player? No, I mean like each two-year cycle, there's been at least one player tried to defect. Yeah, but I mean, look, you know, I don't think that's why he's doing it. You know, whether it goes into that or not, who knows. But it is something that they are talking about. Now, having said that, guys, let me kind of give you guys what's going on. This is probably going to be one of the greatest campaigns we've ever done. And I'll tell you why.

It's because if you love your father or if you love your grandfather, Father's Days around the corner, and there's one statistic, guys, you know this, fathers. Ladies, if you're watching this, we spend a lot more money on mothers than that we do on fathers that we would like to contribute and get our great fathers out there to feel special. And to do so, we did something very special for fathers. Today's the day to do it. And this item you're about to see is going to be limited to only 500, the first 500 that placed the order. You'll be able to make other fathers days.

So having said that, watch this video dedicated to Father's Day. Go ahead, Rob. Folks, I don't know if you know or not, but every year we spend $10 billion more on Mother's Day than Father's Day. We don't get things for Father. We forget about it. It's just the Father. This year we're doing something special. We got a box for all great fathers in the world that says the future looks bright.

And here it says Father, Protector, Provider in the Box when that Father, that special father opens it up, he will get a mug that says Future Looks Bright. with Father Protective Provider. He'll get a Future Lookspride hat. They will also get a Future Lookspride RFID wallet. On top of that, a pen that says, Father Protective Provider. And you get the picture for that incredible father. One of them is the best hat ever with Future Looks Pride on the back.

The other one will say Father Protective Provider. The third one is raising leaders, building legacy. I love every single one of them. But the last one's going to be so special. Ready for this? It says Grandpa knows everything. So if you get that for Papa G. Send the tomb let them open.

He's going to be excited. We only have 500 of these boxes. If you want to get one of these for a special father, go to vTmerch.com, place the order before it sells out. Having said that happy fathers, everybody. Okay, so check this out, folks. Rob, let's walk through it so people know how to do it. You got to go to vtemerch.com. This is how it looks.

And on the bottom, it says the best investment a father makes is in his family. So let's

invest into our families. Having said that, let's get right into it. First story I want to get into Rob, I think it's fair to start off with the Kristen Welker interview. So the president decides to do an interview with meet the press, Kristen Welker. She flies out to Wisconsin. Conditions are horrible. It is raining. It is pouring. If you listen to the entire interview, it's tough to listen to at times, multiple times they have to stop for five to ten minutes. And the president is still sitting there. this was one of the most viral clips on X yesterday because at the end abruptly, the president gets up and walks out,

and I want you to watch this and say, was this the right one? Was it not the right room? The president called Kristen Walker a couple words. So, Rob, go on and play this clip. Let's react to it. Go forward. It was a dirty election.

Mr. President. And it's happening again right now in California. It's happening right now in California. Right now it's looking, look at what's happening in California. It's four days. The Republicans are doing well in California. California, it's, no, they're not, they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up with them.

You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election. There's, what, do you have evidence to support that? All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look. But that's not evidence. And I listen to people, and let's see what happens. But, sir, that's not evidence.

Do you think it's appropriate that they count the votes in California? Watch this. That they have an election. And five days later, they're nowhere close. State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging. No, they're crooked. They're urging the votes to be counted quickly.

That's how they vote in California. They're crooked, just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked. And meet the press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked. But let's- Really? Well, you play right into their hands in.

Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's continue. You play right into their hands with a strap. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide, And I got 94% bad press.

But Mr. President, you know why I got that? Because you have no credibility. But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about. I want to talk about Todd Lynch. You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Let's talk about.

Your elections in this country, we're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked and you're crooked and meet the press is crooked. And so is ABC and CBS and CNN. You're one-sided crooked networks. So let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time. Mr. President, let's please.

Watch the mic. Step on the mic. I've traveled all the way to Wisconsin. On and off in the rain, and I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest. Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the interview. There you go.

And the interview's over. Okay. So now, when he's doing this, Tom, First of all, your reaction to this. Because she says they're going to do another interview again. It was a long interview. It's not like they only did a five-minute interview. It was a good 40 minutes that they did an interview together,

35 minutes that they did the interview together. Tom, appropriate, inappropriate. Was she not being honest? How do you process it? Well, you know, she's, you know, words talk number scream. She was made moderator. That's exactly a question I was asking myself this weekend, Pat. I went and I looked.

She was named moderator of Meet the Press in 2003. And in the middle demographic, everybody wants 25 to 40, I mean 25 and 40 or whatever it is, to 54, I think it's 25 to 54. She's taking that show, as moderator, it's now number one. You know, it's ahead of ABC. It's ahead of CBS. And so because she's number, that Meet the Press is now number one on the Sunday news show. So you're giving a credit. She's done well.

Yeah, the show is done well, and she's part of the show. I'll say that. It's Meet the Press. But the show is done well. and she's the lead moderator. So she's going to get the opportunity because they got the ratings. And whether you want to believe it or not, the people that are on the president's press team

are going to say, hey, you know, they're number one in the ratings, so they gave it to her. But the conditions were terrible. That must have been hell for the sound man that is working there because you saw they were in a heavily, they were in a barn or something that had been decorated. It wasn't for the sound that he walked out.

No, no, no, but I'm saying that's a tough situation. to put together a professional piece. But she took this angle that the media takes that I have issue with. You are not congressional, you know, you're not there for a congressional hearing. You're not there to make accusations go straight down. You're not there to do that. You're there to have an interview with the President of the United States and maybe ask some tough questions. But I think when you cross the line there and you triggered him and you triggered him and he went off.

and the backstory is we're seeing stuff happen in L.A. I'm sure we'll get to that in a minute. But my take on it was, you know what? I don't agree with the way she... Tom, she knows exactly what she's doing, and that's her job. She works for a freaking network that absolutely despises Trump. Do you think she likes Trump? Tom, do you think she likes Trump?

She hates him. By the way, he called her a Democrat in the interview. She says, I'm not a Democrat. I'm a journalist. Did you catch that part? Yeah. Give me a break in pet. the fact that the he's even giving you the time, I would be done. He doesn't need to even talk to these people. Okay, and then she knows what she's doing.

And then at the end, she's like, but we came to Wisconsin. Then why the hell you do it? Like, be fair, okay? And it's not like he's lying. If you believe, if you believe that Joe Biden got 81 million votes, then there's something wrong with you. He's the most popular president in the history, more than Barack Obama and more than Donald Trump.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous. And it's as if you're checking. challenging him for evidence as he's going to have his lawyer there to bring up all the stuff in Georgia, all the stuff, all the things that are in the courts, Pat, that a lot of these judges are Biden-appointed judges and their Democrat judges. And then January 6th, you mean to tell me on January 6th, that wasn't a setup with all the FBI, all the confidential human sources with Ray Epps and all the stuff that was going on to make him look so bad, Pat, that he's the one that provoked January 6th. When he said, be peaceful, go down there and you can protest. It's blatantly obvious.

what they did, and I love that you said that, Tom. They're doing it, Pat, in plain sight, and we're going to get to California in front of our faces, and we can't do nothing about it. Nothing. California can't do nothing, and we're so lucky, because, Pat, Gavin Newsom is, but notice how he's quiet. He's the frontrunner. If they get in power, what do you think they're going to make it

on a national scale, this mail-in ballots? Do you remember in Georgia, Pat, they had these, all the drop-offs, Tom, the Sharpie ballots in Arizona, everything. They cheated, but it's not illegal because, you know what she said? that's how California voting is. And do you think it's right? That's correct. And she doesn't even want to ask a tough question on it.

And this is a president that gets over 90% negative coverage from them. And my point was she's acting like she's at a congressional hearing and he owes an answer for her out of a briefing book. It's a game of gotcha. And she, despite the ratings and everything, so the people that are watching have seen the ratings move. But she is part of the media. She is, Tom. Adam. Well, I watched the entire interview.

And at first, I think we sent a clip on our group chat. My first reaction was, wow, Trump really looks like a jerk here. And I said, let me actually do my due diligence here. And then I realized this was the last two minutes of almost like a 90-minute rain marathon in what looked like a barn in Wisconsin. And the conversation turned, at least initially, for the first hour, was very cordial. I mean, he was being fine. And then it kept stopping and starting because of the rain.

So what we're seeing is the tail end of him being frustrated, annoyed, and just done with the situation. And that's with getting the headlines. But what I was focused on was sort of the substantive arguments that he was making. And I'll go real quick. I have three little things here. So number one, he said, listen, we're close to a deal. And let me tell you something. Part of if this deal doesn't come through, you know what I might do?

She goes, what's that? He goes, I might blow the hell out of him. He goes, that's much easier to do. but I don't want to do that. But he goes, and then he kept saying, listen, this is 100 days. And he kept giving examples. He goes, Vietnam, we were in 19 years. And then she kept trying to correct him.

Then, you know, he goes, excuse me, 19 years. Like, what don't you understand? We're talking about three months versus 19 years in Vietnam. And he talked about Korea and he talked about Iraq, talked about Afghanistan. He goes, guys, it's been 100 days. Are you really playing this game that we don't have enough time? and that's why I think maybe he's not that concerned with the midterms as much as maybe we would suspect. Number two, it was so funny.

It's almost like you would say this in the playground. He goes, you know, they did their blockade and then we blockaded their blockade. And he goes, it's costing them how much? Almost a half a billion dollars a day. So I think he's just basically saying, we're going to squeeze them dry. He talked about him and BB's being on the same page. They do have some differences in how surgical. He says we have two differences.

Yeah, we have a couple of things. be in Lebanon, but we're very much on the same page. We get along very well. And then she kept pressing him on you said no new wars, you said no new wars. He goes, excuse me, I never said that. He goes, and in fact, why the hell would I put

so much money into the military and try to build up our military so much if you thought I was never going to use them? Then he kept busy saying... Let's play this clip. Play the clip of no wars, Rob. What changed? Because you insisted no new wars. I didn't guarantee no war.

Why would I have built the strongest military in the world? I built our military. I inherited a terrible military. We had no equipment. We had nothing. I built a tremendous military. Biden gave a lot of it away, but it's still a relatively small portion compared to what I built. But you said it over and over again, Mr. President.

Why would I build the military? Now, I didn't want to use this, but I'm doing you and everybody else a big favor. In the midst of the greatest stock market in history, in the midst of the most successful country, because, as you know, in the last, Last time, we were dead country, Kristen. I know you're a big liberal. In Toronto, every arrival is a statement, and nothing says it better than this.

Wayfair, every style, every home. I'm just a journal. Just a journal. By the way, they cut it off right there. Here's what I think Trump believes more than anything.

And he said this a few times. He goes, I'm doing the world a favor. Whether you like it or not. And then he said something very specific. He goes, I won the election. Why? Because the American people trusted my judgment more than anyone else. He goes, if they have a nuclear weapon, and then he made it personal, he goes, they'll

blow you up. Kristen Welker, they'll blow you up. They'll blow up, meet the press. They'll blow up everything. These are crazy people, but I like them. I get along with them well, but they're crazy. and he said, I'm the first president in 47 years who had the guts to do this.

And that's kind of thing where he is. Yeah, and by the way, in the middle of the interview, they talk about jobs report. Yeah. And, you know, she says, did you see the jobs report? Why don't you say the numbers? Go ahead and say the numbers. 172,000.

What was it expectation? It was three times what you guys thought. So if it's so bad, why are we creating so many jobs? This is it, Rob, if you want to play this. Go forward. Not that's strong. You got a strong jobs report today that beat expectations. Not strong.

Really strong. Beat expectations. By how much? Triple. 170,000 jobs created. You got a strong job. But by the way, what's unfortunate is, and by the way, the media knows what they're doing. They put the worst clip.

It's actually a good conversation, and it's worth watching. Seriously, it's actually a good conversation. It's worth watching. But when Trump walked out, this kind of leads me into the next story with Spencer Pratt. So you guys know we talked about it, like a week ago. go and everybody was expecting him to advance with Karen Bass and he was going out there celebrating the picture with him and his wife. He had an eight point lead and everyone's looking at this chart. If you look at this, Rob, if you want to zoom in a little bit, so the blue is Karen Bass.

The orange is Spencer Pratt and the green is ramen. Now watch what's going on here. June 2nd is election. Look at the difference in lead on where Spencer Pratt is. Look at the third and fourth. Look at the spike. Look at the spike. So you mean to tell me out of all those thousands of votes, now all of a sudden they only want to do ramen? That's insane. That's what they want to do?

That's what you mean to you want me to believe that. And it goes from 71,000 to 153,000. Look how Bass only goes up 30,000. But she goes up 83,000 votes, 82.5,000 votes. And during that time, only Pratt goes up 44,000 votes. And then they're catching up. And Rob, if you go to the new chart that shows, Raman ahead, you will see this.

So this is what it's looking like now. Malins arriving before election. Bass 38, Pratt 28, Pratt's got a 28 point lead. Maylans arriving after election. Ramen 37% plus 17. Bass goes down 3. Pratt goes down 9. You want people to believe this.

Then there's another one, the... The... The only number... 8%%% counter translates. Not this one, Rob. The other one where the judge is talking about how they allow people to vote in L.A. And I even send it to you guys.

I think you have it, Rob. If you go through the notes, you definitely have. This is the one. Watch this. So first go to the bottom for him to show the picture, because I think this is reacting to a picture. If you want to make this a little bit bigger. So he sends this in,

talking about what's really going on, sends it to Honorable Shirley and Weber, legal office of Secretary of State, State of California. And he goes back and go to the tweet, Rob. Let's go back to the tweet if you can, please. Okay, go all the way to the top. California is blocking. I spoke to Spencer Pratt last night.

I said, why are they not investigating this? Well, California is blocking a federal audit of its voter polls. California allows first-time voters. Folks, you're ready for this? This is not a joke. To register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including gym membership card. I joked about this on Friday.

And I said, I'm just joking. Well, guess what? I was fact-checked, and I wasn't joking. And apparently that was true. In California, you can actually vote with your BALA. Fitness Card. Can you imagine you can go with your L.A. Fitness Card and vote. Employer ID, credit card or debit card, prescription drug label, insurance card.

And if you think this is BS, Rob, go on the link, because I thought he's just BS in. Go on the link. So this is what website, Rob. Can we verify what website this is? SOS. dot California.gov. Okay? So go on that first point that says current and valid photo ID toward the party.

Look at right. They go a little bit low, Rob. Look at a driver's license, B, passport, identification card, credit card, military identification card, health club identification card, H. This is on their website, by the way. And I'm sitting there yesterday. I'm like, there's no way this has to be real. So if you go, if you go Rob right now and ask chat or ask Chat, ask Chat,

what are the top five slowest states when it comes on to elections and go to the top five fastest states when it comes on to counting ballots? Basic question, okay? And I'm asked this question on Grock, on chat, on pretty much everything I can because I want to know, you know, chat can lean a little bit on the other side. Of course. So watch this, okay, fastest states, Florida, how to hell does Florida do it fast? The gold standard, okay, Texas. By the way, watch this. This is the other question I ask. Florida, Red State, Texas, Red, Georgia, Red, Virginia, consistently reports a large percentage of votes on Election Day. Carolina, Red. Now, go to the slowest states. Look at the slowest. Why do you think it's slow? California, known as the

slowest, frequently the slowest major state accepts ballots arriving after election date if postmark on time, extensive signature verification and provisional ballot review. Arizona, Nevada, Alaska, Pennsylvania. I think four out of five of these states are all left, on the left. Why do you want it to be slower? So when you see the president getting upset Wood Walker, you're sitting there saying maybe the guy's got an argument. Matter of fact, let me ask you guys a question.

If let's just say, Vinny, Tom Adam, if let's just say a party, forget whatever party it is, Tom, take the Libertarian Party, take the Green Party, Vinny, take the Democratic Party, take the Republican Party at them. You go hire the mob, the Italian mafia, and I'm talking old school, you hired them as consultants, and you tell them, hey, what can we do to increase the chances of winning every election we want and not allowed the other side to win? What would you advise us to do?

What do you think they would say? Imagine, you went to the mob, the mafia. Okay, you're asking criminals. who do this for a living, what can we do to never lose elections again in our state? What do you think advice that would give you? The mob? What would they say is the first thing you've got to change? You know what's the first thing I would say?

Do whatever you can to not require photo IDs. Check, we did it in California. Number two, make it as slow as possible so we can count ballots afterwards. Check, allow mail-in ballots and as long as possible. Check, as long as you do this, don't worry about it. You'll have it under control. You're serious? Oh, yeah.

You're going to have it under control. And convince Americans that getting photo IDs is racist. It's brilliant. That's the most. Convince them it's racist. Got it. Yeah. And convincing them it takes very slow.

It's just hard. Yeah. You're racist against blacks. You're racist against. And blacks are like, what are you talking about? I can get an ID. No, no, but it's racist because these people don't like you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm telling you they don't like you. Yeah. That's why they're trying to do this. So then you look at charts, 69% of Democrats, you know what they want? 69% of Democrats. Want photo IDs for election. You know what the numbers for Republicans?

95, 96%. 83% of Americans want a flipping ID to vote. And then you want the American people to sit there and believe that if you accept a gym membership, no, no one's cheating. No wonder the president got upset at Welker.

Now, should he have called her stupid or whatever? That's Trump style. He's always been like that. That's a conversation that you can have. But no wonder he can sit there and watch in a state. By the way, as much as I take shots at people in California, you know I do, my Armenian and Syrian and Persian friends, they message me, hey, you're not being fair, you're not doing this. You know what I, if you haven't worked with me long term face-to-face, like in a company, you don't know my style. You only know me from the podcast and the relationships that we have. You don't know how I challenge. You don't

know how I drive. You haven't been with me behind closed doors. Some people have witnessed how I doing what I do there. You don't think I want to see California flip. You don't think I want to see a mayor flip. You know how bad I feel for my friends in L.A. right now? You know how bad I feel for my friends in California right now? You know how annoyed these people? These are good people that I've said, I'm not leaving. And then you do something like this. And you want something to change with us? By the way, do you remember that one interview where Newsom's like, we're not, we're not worried about the elections? And he had that smile. This was like three weeks ago. I had, I've sent out the clip. You want to see how, and by that's why he's so quiet.

Breaking the glass. This is the attitude of net. Go ahead. We all have agencies. We can shape the future. There's still a lot. Look, I've said this before, so I'll repeat it. I don't anticipate this need to be the case, but there is a break the glass scenario.

And there's many people that have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out. And we're going to do everything to make sure that doesn't happen. They're just saying the quiet part out loud. And Adam, we're going to do everything possible. And nobody could do anything. Agencies can shape. Do something about it. Agencies could shape the future.

And I'm tired of hearing, Pat, democracy. We're not a democracy, but we have lost the republic. If this is how it happens in front of our face, we can't do nothing about it. The government can't do nothing about it. And that's the frontrunner. That's the front run of the Democratic Party. And if they win, Pat, and they come back in part, I'm not stupid. I know the pendulum swings.

You let them empower. The SAVAC didn't go through because they have four rhino, I'm not going to say the word, Republicans that don't, they want to have power. And if I keep hearing this word, democracy, it's our republic. And at what point are Americans, the citizens, the 99.99% are going to finally say, enough is enough. And I'm not saying we're complaining. No, we're trying to point out the obvious.

They're cheating. You are cheating. In India, they have how many, one point some billion people? they know in one day. What the hell? We're America. And it takes weeks and we're just, we're cool with it.

And nobody on the other side is saying that because their side's going to win. They're quiet. They're quiet. That's why Gavin Newsom's quiet because they know that they're freaking cheaters. Tom. All you have to do is go, absolutely. And you know, there's two lines of thinking that are being driven on here. Voter eligibility and voter confirmation, racism, right?

Yeah, you're racist. And then what you have is controls. to have adequate controls over the election and investigations and just confirmations. That's federal interference. You see, racism and federal interference are destroying democracy. Maxine Waters said it, just like that. So guess what? This is what it is.

You have to remember something here, guys. It's low tech. When you increase technology, you increase the confirmations, and you can increase the confirmation. confident. Now, technology isn't a voter tabulation machine that can be hacked and flip votes. We've seen examples of the voting machines you've seen as many over the years where they've said, this is an example how this particular machine was flipped. No, the deeper you go in technology. Congress heard a presentation. This is a select committee heard a presentation on the blockchain, Pat. Hey, did you know you could just take every person who's a valid citizen, put them on the blockchain? You'll know instantly did they vote or not. Not who they voted for, but did they vote or not? Everybody flipped out at that. Why? Because that's high technology, high confidence, high control. That's not what they want. You look at these blue states, just keep counting until you get the

answer you want. And it's destroying public confidence. And you're going to see, I think you're going to accelerate the people that are leaving. I talked to people last night in L.A. too. I said, what are you thinking about this? And they said, I'm shocked. Everybody has said the same thing. They said, you know, I'm really shocked. In plain sight. Doing what you just said. Doing the quiet part out loud. It was terrible, Pat.

Terrible. But remember, low tech enables it. When you go to ultimate high tech in blockchain, you control it. Nobody wants control. Everybody wants buckets of ballots that came here coming into what appears to be, orderly rooms to be counted that we are ensuring democracy. No, they're not. they are controlling the outcome of what they called democracy.

And, Pat, now that we know what we're waiting for, Tom, the Supreme Court's ruling in Watson versus the Republican National Committee, it's a major case that could determine whether the states can continue counting mail and ballots that arrive after election day if they were postmarked on time. And the ruling is expected at the end of this month, Pat. What's going to have major... Vinnie, that will only control the date and time that they bring in the white buckets. So the Supreme Court will help.

We need control, and it starts with voter validation and then technology that validates that those voters that were validated actually voted once. Well, look, I don't know if you just saw this article what Gavin Newsom has done in response to the allegations. Basically, Gavin Newsom has basically signed a law that, quote-unquote, here we go. Here we go. Newsom signs law to shield California elections from federal interference. Oh, there's a phrase again. Basically saying, we prohibit any person, including federal agents, from accessing voter rolls or election technology without a court order.

But then in response, here's this article. This is from the Hill. Federal prosecutors open fraud probes into California voting. So alleged voter fraud, multiple election fraud investigations underway. Essentially what you said, there's serious structural vulnerabilities, specifically coming from two major complaints. opponents mail in voting and not requiring voter ID at the polls. And by the way, verify that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered.

On the Newsom thing, he signed that on May 29th, four days before the election. Before the election. Four days before. Here's a video where he explains why he wants to go ahead and pass it so that the federal government cannot interfere is what he calls in California's a lot. Go ahead, go ahead.

Watch the play by Trump all the time. He's an invasive species. We've never been up against something like this. And he's just not, he's just winding up. I mean, he doesn't believe in fair and free elections. He believes in competitive authoritarianism. He wants an outcome along the lines of Putin, you know, 87.3% to 4.3%. That's a fair and free election from Trump's perspective.

And he's become so delusional that he, I think he's almost starting to believe in his own BS. Well, I think the people of California, have somehow believed his BS for the last decade. And he used, like, let's just be clear here, he used a very specific number. He said 87% Trump wants that. 4.3. Listen, Trump's best day is in the high 40s, best day from a national electorate. And worst day is somewhere in the mid-30s.

Gavin Newsom, who basically somehow passed a recall, I think four or five years ago, this is all. Larry Elder. Exactly. Larry Ler. You know who I feel bad for? Can I be honest? with you?

Because I'm very much pro-Florida, pro-Miamy. I genuinely feel bad for the average Californian, and I'll tell you why. Because the top of the food chain, they can move someplace. If they're evading the wealth tax, they'll go find another place to live. But the bottom of the food chain, the 50% of Californians are basically who are living on the social welfare state, don't have a choice here, are going to vote for the socialist, communist, they're going to be fine because they're basically living high off the hog. It's the average Californian who's looked like, I can't move, because I'm damned if I do, if I damn it if I don't.

And they basically are, at some point, they're going to have to say, all right, we've hit rock bottom. We're going to have to pivot. Until then, get used to democratic monopolies. But, Adam, I know you want to move on. They almost had a candidate to be on the ballot. And the candidate, I believe, my opinion, we are watching it get taken away from them. They, there was, don't you see, I think there's a lot of Angelinos. that were out there that got behind this campaign, that got behind these things.

And by the way, for Rahman, Pat, I got a question for you. What did Rahman do in the last week of the election? She backed off. She did a concession speech. She was crying on stage. But she backed off. But she backed off. How does she surge when she's backing off?

This is like, you know she lost. Okay. Los Angeles is the most magical. city in the entire world. This is like a concession? Yes, this is the night she lost. Rob, can you verify if this is the night she lost? And I'm so grateful to call this extraordinary city my home.

Yeah. Okay, so she allegedly, let me just verify. I don't think that's an act. I think she really believed that. And I think the machine wants Bass back and used her to get rid of Pratt. That's election night. What are the odds actually saying about Pratt's? Well, we'll go to Cal.

No. Pratt's chances on Calciets. Have they plummeted? Oh, you'll see right now. 1.2% of the advancing. Look at that. I thought it was still a three-and-a. No, no, no, no.

Rob, do me in favor. Go back. How far back can you go on this? Dates-wise. Can you go back to one month? 78 million. Go to one month. Just watch this.

Look at Pratt advancing. Okay? Look at Pratt advancing. And then look. And then right after June 2nd, which was the date to vote, he's still ahead. And then he drops all the way down and ramen comes up. And well, even Bass went a little bit lower. So you're saying that everyone who voted in that last 48-hour window, everyone voted for the Congress.

Are you ready for this guy? So not the beat post is unbelievable. One of the best statements I said. $78 million was placed. Only Romans. That's mail and ballots relate at him. Only Romans mail in ballots. When statistically impossible things happen, we should not be expected as a society to accept that.

evidence of fraud isn't limited to video surveillance. Statistical impossibilities are hard evidence of fraud. That was not to be posted it, and Elon posted it, Pat. And this is, when we talk about the left right or whatever, they're willing to lie and cheat, to come into power. That's why I'm saying, Pat, this is a spiritual thing. We're at spiritual warfare. Because once they come in, Pat, what do they do?

They open the border. They bring in the illegals. Our women and children get freaking take advantage, murdered or rape, and then they make policies for trans this and that. It's freaking evil. And what's a fine time? You're talking about these Angelinos. What can they do? What can you do? What? Go on the streets? So we believe this is an election. They believe this is a revolution. And during a revolution,

anything is permissible. And that's what you're seeing it here. You know, we believe that they're wrong and that we need to sit down and find a way to reason with the ones that are close to the middle and to bring them over. That's the spirit of this podcast. That's why you saw Pat on Jubilee. That's why all this stuff. They believe we're evil and any tactic is permissible to stop. PPD, you're a California guy. What are you hearing from your people? Because at the end of the day, there's going to be a socialist versus a communist, it seems, in this runoff. What are people in California saying? So there are guys that are planning on moving to Florida and they've been waiting and waiting and waiting. Like, for instance,

I'll give you an idea, my own family. A lot of Iranians, Armenians, Assyrians left Iran a long time ago. When did your parents leave Iran? Oh, my God. What year? Because you were born in New York. I was born in New York. So how much previous to that? When did your parents leave?

In the 70s. Can you text? Well, it's too early. No, she'll be up. What year do you think? I think your parents left probably in a 70s. Three revolution. Early 70s.

Okay. So you have to realize there's different tiers of people that left Iran. Yeah. Okay. There are those like his parents who left early. Okay. Then there are those that left in 70s. 77, 78, the moment revolution started happening,

they're like, we're out of here, okay? There was your dad. That's no, no, not at all. No, they didn't. My mom was like, it's going to get better. So my mom encouraged them to stay. My dad is saying, let's get the hell out of here. My mom said, no, let's stay.

It's going to get better. Anyways, they stay. And then by 89, when Khomeini died and things got chaotic, we left. By the way, we are known as leaving the latest. We left late. Because they thought something good was going to happen, right? And then we left.

And we went to Germany and then we ended up coming here. Okay, you've heard a story a million times, so I'm not repeating that story. What does that have to do with California? There are people in California that don't want to leave. I had a call the other day, one of our clients. He sold one of his companies a few years ago for $300 million, and he's about to sell a second company in Australia for $250 to $500 million. He's about to go public, money guy, good guy, sharp guy, family guy.

and Australia just announced the capital gains tax, which I don't know if you're familiar with it. Our capital gains here is what, 239, something like that? But it's including the Obama care, I think it's like 239 is what you're looking at. That's correct. And in Canada, they announced something that your capital gains could go all the way up to 47%. Rob, can you type in 47% higher than ordinary income?

Oh, 47%. I want to say, there was something that came out that. was 40, Australia, does it. If you look up what their capital gain, because of potential rate of 47%. Okay. So anyways, he's bringing it up to me

that this is taking place. I said, what do you want to do? Do you want to fix it? Or do you want to go to, you know, Singapore? Do you want to go to Dubai? We don't have to pay taxes. He says, no, I want to fix it.

I said, so you don't want to live Australia? No. So you want to contribute? Yes. So what's the plan? And says, so how famous are you? Not that famous. I'm famous amongst business people

because I've made money, but I'm not that famous. I said, well, number one, without the fame, you ain't, you know, it's not something you're going to be able to do. We got to work on the fame. It ain't the same. He says, well, what about if I first start off with Victoria, the state, which Victoria is kind of like California, and then from there go for national level, which is prime minister. I put him in contact with the previous deputy prime minister for them to have a conversation together. But what's the point?

There are a lot of people in California and Angelinos that have been waiting and waiting and waiting. You know what tiers that's going to be? those who move to a Republican county. So I don't know, pick a republic. They're going to go hide in Manhattan Beach. They're going to go hiding Newport Beach. They're going to go hiding, you know, Kern County, like Bakersfield.

They're going to go to weird places like this, right? You know, shout out to... Move out of L.A. Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. Then there are those that are going to do the easy thing, second easy thing, which is what? Go to Nevada. And they're going to do the 185, 175, which is live 185 days in Nevada

to avoid having to pay the tax of counties. The wealthy people can do that, right? The wealthy people can do that. The average person cannot do that. Then it's the people that are just going to be like, I'm moving out. And I'm going to go to Texas or I'm going to Florida. Or I'm going to Tennessee. Or I'm going to go stay in Henderson, Nevada.

Those are the three tiers. So if this could, by the way, where's Hilton at right now, Rob? Can you look up Hilton's? Go to Hilton's Calci. I think he just got passed by Xavier Bacera. Steyer? Passed them up? No, no.

I don't know. Baceres got confirmed. He's in, like he for sure is first place. But Hilton is still 9.6%, which is fine. Because as long as he's second place, that's all you care about. And we should have a moment of silence with this guy, Tom Steyer. It just keeps pumping hundreds of millions of dollars to get elected. And the world is in the Bloomberg camp.

You know who else did that? And Meg Whitman also did that many years ago. She ran as a Republican, I think former CEO of eBay. And she went through a different thing. So we'll see. We'll see what's going to happen here at the same time. in the inner room, while everything is going on. LA's got a massive strike.

LA Stadium workers vote to strike days before World Cup. This is a Wall Street Journal story. 2000 hospitality workers at SoFi Stadium overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike. Their union said Friday, the stoppage authorized by 96% of voting members occur at any time, though union officials made it clear that U.S. national teams opening World Cup match against Paraguam, June 12, would be an opportune moment. if workers walk off the job, soccer fans who pay thousands of dollars to attend the match might have a hard time getting refreshments.

Can you imagine you go into the game and you may not get drinks, Vinnie? FIFA Soccer's governing body has recommended fans arrived three hours early for matches at stadium located just outside of L.A., which suffers from difficult parking and chaotic road access. There's a story here about, I guess, soccer can be played if workers go on strikes at Kurt Peterson, co-president of the local union in an interview, but someone paying $100,000 for a suite and they're ending up getting bottled water and Doritos,

I'm not sure that's what they're expecting. Local global company operated concessions at the stadium said it has presented, progressive wage proposal. So by the way, while this is happening, what was the story about Penn Station that five individuals got stamped? Five people were stab, like right outside

where the World Cup is going to be played. Right on that. Actually, it just jumped up to six people. Six people stamp at Penn Station. Six people stabbed that attack at Penn Station in New York suspect in custody as bus, busy rail hub adjacent to Madison Square Garden one day before the game three of NBA finals.

Obviously, these are two different things. We'll go into the NBA finals. California's got figure it out with this whole thing that's going on here. Tom, how ugly could this thing be if the strike goes through and it impacts some of the games? This is horribly ugly, but this is exactly what, and by the way, do you think Karen Boss cares about the World Cup? No, she cares about Karen Bass.

And she cares about winning the election. And she's going to come out there and say, President Trump and the World Cup, you're going to mark my words, you're going to see her associating it with that way. And she's going to say, these workers got what they had long deserved. You know, you're going to hear that.

That's her Marxist side of it. I think, Pat, the World Cup organizers have done a horrible job. You need to go to city by city by city and clear all the things that need to be cleared. Otherwise, you just run into it like this. Did you know in Mexico what happened? Yesterday what happened? They are so worried about fighting at the World Cup. They said it's possible that they will not allow beer to be served, you know, at the World Cup Stadium that's in Mexico. Did you see

that? And then A.B. Inbev and Modelo, they're like, wait, what? I thought we paid for some advertising here. You're telling me we can't do it. And I think what this is showing is going to be ugly in LA, but the World Cup organizers have done a halaciously bad job of putting it together. Look at the PR they've gotten hit with. They allowed tickets on a lottery system to actually go out in bundles of 10. Immediately they went to the stalker markets at tens and thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Number one. Number two, they point out that the security protocols are even worse the American Super Bowl.

Wait a minute. How is that possible? The American Super Bowl is a huge target. And they manage to get people in and out. Why wouldn't they say, hey, Roger Goodell, NFL, who are your security people? You hold the Super Bowl in a different city every year, and you manage to get people in and out safe, and you avoid problems, and you haven't had a terrorist attack. That hasn't happened.

And then now they go to L.A. that, you know, hey, you've cleared your union, right? Your union's good to go here. You talk to the union leaders? We don't need any trouble. Nope. They come out in the union leaders strike. The people aren't striking. They're green-lit by the union leaders.

leaders. And then Mexico loses control of the populace, which isn't surprising. And suddenly now they're like, well, you can't serve beer, can't do anything. And you have major sponsors and patrons saying, wait, I can't go get a beer and go a World Cup game. It's just, they've lost control the whole

thing. This is so far, Pat, tragically, unfortunately, this is like a D minus for the organizers. Yeah, I agree. I blame PBD. I'll tell you why. Because wherever PBD leaves, the state gets better. Have you notice that? The state gets better? You leave and the state that you go to gets better and the state

that you left. Oh. Oh. I was about that. I was about that. I was about, I was about, I was about, I'm like, go to my pal. I don't even wearing those shoes. Adam. It's too early for one of your backwards arguments. What I'm saying is, I remember when you did a, this would have been in 2020. There's my teato. You did a, um, a board episode about, I think it was Disney. Yeah. California versus Florida. Yep. And the way that the governors of California and the governors. of Florida basically managed it. Ultimately what I think is this. We're seeing the rise of the Sun Belt great states of Florida and Texas,

and we're seeing the demise of California and New York. These amazing states and these amazing cities, New York City, California, L.A., San Francisco, even, the greatest cities that the world has ever known. And sadly, there are no longer being that case. So we're going to see this. You can revisit this in a few years. Between New York and L.A., when you have the Mamdani's, the Hokos, the Basses, the Newsoms, and then in Florida and Texas, you have the Abbots, the cruises, the Santis,

and we're going to see what happens with Byron Donald's and Jay Collins here in Florida. Florida is the future. Texas is the future. Unfortunately, L.A. and New York are the past and relics of what was once great in here. Let me ask you a question. The future of L.A. and New York is social Marxism, and I think that's terrible. Well, let me just say one thing, just where we finish off. You remember the story?

I don't know if we covered it last week. California loses its Fortune 500 crown to Texas. Samsung left, I think, New Jersey for Texas. In a symbolic blow to the Golden State's longstanding economic dominance, Texas has officially dethroned California as the state with the most Fortune 500 companies. So it's already happening. California's beauty is no longer the reason to stay in California. But at one point, okay, ready for this?

California failed. New York, failing, failed. Okay, people are going to keep moving to Florida or Texas. But at what point are the people going to go, you know what? No. Why the hell should we leave? We like it here. We live here.

We grew up here. My family's from here. Whatever happened to weed the people to hell with them. Like what? People are just going to keep giving up. Everybody's going to leave California. Who's going to be stuck there? Just rich people that don't want to leave because they have the money to

freaking deal with the nonsense, but they love the weather. You got to fight for. for it, or this is America, to hell with them. I appreciate everything you're saying. Yeah. And there's just one word that encompasses everything. Choice. You have a choice to stay, you have a choice to leave. But apparently they don't add a... Hear me out.

With the voting, my friend. They don't have... Hear me out. Yes, I understand there's a lot of frustration. You have a choice to stay and fight it. Like, the guy in Australia. Or you have a choice to say, you know what? I'm done with this thing. And that's the beauty of the federalism system in America. Is that if you don't like it, leave.

Or if you don't like it, you can stay. What do they say fight, fight, flight or freeze? What are you always talking about with that, Pat? Yeah, fight, flight, freeze. But we, look, numbers never lie, man. California is losing Fortune 500 companies. We're going to see what's going to happen. By the way, staying on the World Cup story, Iran demands,

just so you know the story comes out, Iran told to leave the U.S. within 24 hours of World Cup matches as coaching staff visas are denied. It's kind of a weird story there, but I understand why this is happening. So let me read this to you. Rob, I think you've got a clip on this one here. Iran has been told they must enter and leave

U.S. soil on the same day of matches while integral members of their coaching staff have been denied visas. The countries is this it, Rob? Yes, sir. Go for it. Opening game of this World Cup is here in Los Angeles against New Zealand in just nine days' time. But it says key members

of its managerial, executive, and technical staff have been denied visas. The U.S. State Department says all of Iran's players and necessary members of its support squad will be allowed entry, but it also says it is not going to allow Iran to, quote, abuse this system to sneak terrorists into the United States under false pretenses. Now, Iran is... Okay, so when you're seeing that, by the way, their matches are L.A., Seattle.

They were due to stay in Tucson, Arizona, but now we'll fly in. They can either enter the morning, but they must leave the same day. He said their Iran envoy, Abolfoazi, Pass on Dedehi. They added that Iran would not be allowed to abuse the system. However, Iran's embassy and Turkey said visas have been denied to a large portion of the managerial and executive staff and accused the Americans of politically biased interference in sport. They claim visas have been denied to a large portion of the managerial. An executive staff, Iranian state media claimed that the head of football federation and his deputy were among those denied entry.

Iran's opened their World Cup, like he said in there with New Zealand and California on June 16, before facing Belgium and Egypt in California and in Seattle. So this is kind of a publicity stunt, or it could be a part that, you know, the U.S. is just trying to protect of anybody coming in time. How do you process the story? Well, a couple sides to it. First of all, the U.S. State Department is trying to prevent them from sneaking people in here.

Oh, technical assistant and everything. It's pretty clear that's what they're saying they're trying to do. Yep. That they're calling it that. Oh, I'm not going to give you a visa because we're calling it that. The other side of it is I think they don't want the players to have a amount of free time to maybe to connect with other players from other teams, other countries, or, you know, decide that maybe they want to defect.

Because defections have happened from the Iranian team. You go back years and everything. There's always one person or somebody wants to get out. We had the women's team. They were worried that they were, remember, they were worried about that, hey, the women's soccer team. Some of them stayed here. Yeah, they're like, yeah, if I miss a penalty shout on the feet, later I get a penalty shot from an AK-47.

So it's not what I want. And so you've got guys like Medi-Torremi, who, by the way, could play on any team anywhere in the world if they had him on rental, you know what I mean, just like they do, UEFA and Champions League. And nobody wants them to it. So that's what I think, Pat. I think there's two things going on here.

Good from the State Department. But I think the other side is it's obvious. And given the chance, some of those players would want freedom. Yeah, makes sense. I'm going to get to the next story. Next story I want to get to Lewis Hamilton. And then we'll get to the Iran story as well here in a minute because we've got a bunch of different things to go through.

Lewis Hamilton is sitting there doing a podcast with Jay Shetty. And he makes comments about billionaires. Now, keep in mind before you watch this, this is a guy worth a half a billion dollars dating Kim Kardashian, who drives fancy cars who allegedly moved to Monaco to save taxes, to save on taxes. He moves to Monaco. Here's what he had to say to Jay Shetty about billionaires.

Go ahead, Rob. One of the things that I'm like I struggle with every day is and it's just how life is and it's been the way for thousands of years that there is such a disparity between wealthy and the poor and you know you still when you drive around LA there's still so many people living on the streets. There should you shouldn't be able to have billions, right? I think there should there should be a limit to how much you can have because there's enough to go around to everyone. So somehow creating a law that creates more equality. and equal access for everyone, you know. I don't know how that you would implement that law. That's all good.

Which, by the way, Jay Shetty just got a $100 million podcast deal from Netflix. And by the way, well deserved. Good for you. Every penny. I hope he gets a billion dollar deal. I agree. Hamilton dates a girl who's worth a couple billion dollars. 1.9.

Here's the other part to be thinking about, Rob, if you want to go to my tweet at Hamilton, I was hoping to get a, you know, get him to think about this a little bit, go a little bit lower. right there, I said, hey, aren't you worth a half a billion dollars? Who's stopping you from giving away your wealth? And on top of that, here's a guy that's won 105 Formula One races. You know who's won more races than him? Rob, can you pull up who has won more Formula One races than Lewis Hamilton? Can you just pull up most Formula One races ever won?

Tom is just like salivating to answer because he's just going a goose egg. Because you know what the answer is? Nobody has one more Formula One races than him. No one. Not Schumacher, not Verstrapin. Wrestrapping eventually May, not Vetto, not Prost, not Sena, not Alonzo, not Manzo, not Manzo, not Jackie Stewart, not Jim Clark. Nobody.

Why are you so greedy? Why don't you let the other guy go ahead of you? Like at the end, you're such a greedy racer. Like, I mean, the guy's like, let me, this guy's never want a race. Let him go win one for his family. Haven't you won seven championships? Isn't that too much? Just win one.

Why win another one? After one, you should just relax and enjoy yourself. You know, why are you so competitive? Why are you so greedy, Lewis Hamilton? Why? Why did you move to Monaco to avoid taxes if you're so noble? Why, why you do this? Now, here's the thing.

I don't know this guy. I'm sure he's a nice guy. I'm sure he's a good guy. I'm sure he's somebody that probably takes care of his family. I'm sure he gives away money to charity. I'm sure he started a charity and gave $22 million of his own money to it. It was a right-off as well, but I'm sure he's doing charitable work. I'm sure he does a lot of stuff like that.

But the part of it that makes it annoying is here's a guy getting off his $10 million yacht. Look at this, Rob, if you want to zoom in a little bit if you can. What a... With his purple outfit, which I love. He's a fashion, you know, he's like Gandalfa. That's his yacht. He gets off, which, by the way, I love it. That's his car.

That's a $4 million car, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe even a little bit more than that. Okay, FYI, he has deserved all of this. Do you know how hard it is to be a great race car driver? I agree. Do you know how hard it is, even though this new guy just won four? five consecutive races at 19 years old. Tom, if you want to tell us who just won five races in a row, what's his name?

Kimmy Antonelli, who Toto Wolf, the lead at Mercedes, hired Kimi to take over for Lewis because the last race, Lewis won was in July of 2024 in the middle of the season, and he really, as he was getting older, he was losing his skills. It happens. It happens. He's still Lewis Hamilton. Kimmy was put in his seat.

In a row at 19 years old. By the way, the record for the month. most is 10 in a row. Max for Strapping did it at 25 years old. Let's see if this kid's going to do it or not. But there is nothing wrong with all this messaging. Vinnie, when you hear a Lewis Hamilton type of guy, say what he says. How do you process it? Well, Pat, these people always want to save the world with everybody else's money and not theirs. And on top of all that stuff, Pat, he has a one point, stop buying the watches. He has a $1.5 million watch. You just saw him get off this boat. That's his. He's from, he lives in the UK, but he's going there to save freaking money. And I think, Pat,

And I wanted to pitch you this idea afterwards. I think we should start a program for these champagne socialists. And Tom, you'll help you help us. Because, you know, BDC consulting, you guys might help me put it together, Pat. We'll call it wealth relocation services. You call us. Well, you know, we help rich liberals finally live the lifestyle that they preach online. We'll take all the yachts, all your money, all the bank accounts.

We'll give you $80,000 a year, you know, put you in a one-bedroom apartment with roommates, a 2008-preas. And then we'll relocate all your wealth. We'll come to us at VATM at VDC Consulting. No assistance. Don't worry about it. You don't have to tip the movers. We'll take care of it. We'll do everything for you.

Give us your money. Take off your Gandalf, you know, your robe. No private security. No private jets, which he owns. Just equality. But you know the funniest part is none of them would do us. He's sitting there, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap. You're a hypocrite.

Just say, you know what? I feel bad, but you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take $100 million of my money and I'm going to give it to them to organizations. It's the same as As Sam Piker. and all these guys. Socialism, communism, you're rich. Start with you. You start it. Start the cause. Lead the charge. Tom. Yeah, I agree with that. Here is a guy that Kim and I traveled because we thought he was going to win his first race 2007 at Indianapolis.

And I almost said, I said, you know what? Canada's a fast track. And this guy is really developing. So maybe we should go up to Montreal and then go a week before and then go here. He wins his first race of all time in Montreal, and he wins his second race of all time. So of all those races, we saw number two. And he was a different guy. His brother has disabilities. But as he's become more wealthy, guess what the circle? You can always find out, what do they say?

Show me your five friends, and I'll show you your future. It's something you say a lot, Adam. Well, guess what? He got around fashion. He got around music. The tat. He started getting more tats. And you just saw the change in him.

And even some of his fellow drivers made the comment that as he went up the arc and he was lowest freaking Hamilton, one of the greatest of all times, if not the greatest in the mind of some, statistically. Yeah. Statistically, he is statistically, you know, by raw capabilities. A lot of other people would like to see Senna and him gone head to head. But, and gone head to head with Schumacher. Put all three of them identical cars and just see how that shakes out. And it's just, it's disappointing.

It's disappointing. And then to be so much in that. bubble of your friends around you and gets, as you like to say, Pat, who's in your ear? Who's in your ear? All those people in the bubble are in his ear. So it doesn't surprise me. It comes out on Jay Shetty and then he says something like that. It's like, wait a minute, dude, you talk to a PR person.

That reflection is not going to be good. Yeah. Especially wearing a $9,000, you know, faux fur hat and things that you're, no, you're. Again, to me, I don't care. Honestly, I don't care what you do with your own money. You earned it. I don't care what you do with it. I don't care if you buy a house.

I don't care if you buy $50 million watch. I don't care if you buy $10 million Pokemon card. I don't care what you do with it. But just don't go around bashing people that got a little bit more money than you do and say, I have a problem with, you know, billionaire. Stop it. Stop it. It is very hard to become a billionaire.

It is very hard to become rich. It is very hard. Nobody just all of a sudden, wakes up one morning, gets lucky and this happens. It's a lot of, you know, late nights training by yourself, nobody's seeing you. That's the most unattractive thing about this. Be the guy that other young men can look up and say, man, I want to be like him when I grow up. That's what I get.

I get to, you know, have the cars, travel, the accolades, the victories. Go. Let the young man and women fantasize about what it could be if I paid a price for something. Yeah, and his girlfriend, bro, your girlfriend's worth $1.9 billion. How do you think she feels about that? Yes, her claim for frame was, you know, sleeping with a guy on camera and the mother allegedly brokering the deal, and you became famous and she worked hard

and now she has a clothing line and skims and all that stuff. She worked. I'm very curious what Kim Kardashian is sitting there thinking about her boyfriend sitting there complaining about her. He's complaining about her, okay? Go tell your girlfriend to give up half of her money. Ridiculous. I think the thing with Lewis

Hamilton, it's just a symptom of a bigger problem. This is something maybe the value team and Bed David Consulting can help with is that all these rich people feel bad and apologize for being rich. Guys, You earned it. You earned what you received.

Like until the day, come a day that they give compensation, not in money, then what else do they want to compensate you? Remember the movie, the wedding singer, when he's taking classes? She's like,

I don't have any money, so I'm paying you with meatballs. He's like, thanks. You go meatball. Yeah, unless meatballs has become a way of a currency, you're going to have to take money. And what happens is when you're really good at something, you're going to win,

and they're going to give you money. Like the Olympics, World Cup, they give you medals. You can't pay your rent in medals, unfortunately. You can't pay your bills with rings. You're going to need money. And the richest athletes, the MJs of the world, the Tigers of the world, the Messies of the world, the Rinaldos of the world, the Federals. These guys are all multi, multi, multi, hundreds of millions, billionaires even, because they're the best at what they do in the world. So stop apologizing for having success. Stop apologizing for excellence and having victory. Own it. You don't need to be a, I mean, dare I say, like a

douchebag. You don't need to be like a merriweather and like walk around with money everywhere, but be humble, but be confident, but appreciate. I'm great at what I do and you can do. They have a messaging problem. They need to get better at that. All right. Let's go to the next story. Next door I want to cover is Iran. So Rob, walk me through the sequence. Okay. So the first step is Israel attacks Hezbollah in Lebanon. then Iran attacks Israel, then Israel attacks Tehran, then Trump calls BB and says, knock it off. Is that the right sequencing on what I just said? Correct.

Okay. So that even takes place over the weekend. Trump suggests meeting with the Supreme Leader appending expectations and diplomacy. I think even in the Kristen Walker interview, he said to her that, you know, I wouldn't mind speaking with him. He said he is a young man. He is younger than his father, probably a little bit more different. diplomatic. Is this it, Rob, about the exchange? Yeah, go forward. Are you talking about the son of the Supreme Leader? He has not been seen in public.

What is his status? Have you talked to him directly? I do believe they have great respect for him. I see it. I mean, they want to get his concurrence. They've said to me, they've said to others that they're looking for approval, and he is part of the approval process, absolutely. Have you spoken to him directly? You said, want to meet with him? No, I have not. I would if he'd like to, but I have not spoken to him directly. Do you know where he is? I will tell you, how he is?

They do pay homage to him. I would tell you if they didn't. They seem to, based on what I see, they seem to respect him a great deal. Okay, so he's saying he's open to the idea. Tom, as you're seeing this back and forth with negotiations

trying to take place. But is this it, Rob, with Israel and Tehran? This is Iran. Iran, striking an Israeli military base. And this is the first time since April, if I'm not mistaken, right? Go ahead, Rob. And did it get through? Yeah, why?

The timing of this on the plane right here is kind of a... Whoa. Staples Preferred Business Membership, built for busy business owners, because you've got bigger things to think about.

Actually, a lot less. Visit staples.ca slash preferred.

That was easy. That's Israel. And then do you have the one Israel to Tehran? And then the one with Israel and Lebanon? Because it's like three attacks that happened. So I have Israel striking Iran, but I don't have the actual impact, just the aftermath. Okay, go for it. Oh, they recorded it after here. And that's in Tehran. Yes, sir. Do you recognize that street ramp, that road? I'm definitely driven past it. You've definitely been there. I honestly, we're curious to know what part of...

So this is still going on back and forth. Adam, your thoughts on this back and forth with Lebanon, Israel, and Iran, and the president? Yeah, well, look, Israel has... Everyone has different interests in what they're doing in the region. At the end of the day, this comes down to United States and Trump and the Ayatollah. But there's a different situation going on with Hezbo. I'm no longer going to call Lebanon, Lebanon.

I'm going to call them literally Iran. Because anything they do, their government has zero sway. Sway is what it seems. And everything has to go through Hezbollah. If Hezbollah doesn't want something to occur, they'll just object. Israel and Hezbollah are fighting a war right now. They don't want to call it a war. They want to say it's a ceasefire, but it's a ceasefire that stops and starts.

But there's something deeper going on here. What is the religion of Iran and Hezbollah? They're not just Muslim. They're Shia Muslim. Now, if you look at what's going on here, I'd be very upset if I was a Shia Muslim because Israel and the United States have taken out your top two leaders of all time. The Ayatollah and Nasrallah in Lebanon. These aren't just leaders.

They are the supreme leaders of all time. Imagine that your enemy eliminated both your top two guys. And now you want to have peace with these guys? one of two things is going to happen. Either a deal is going to happen or there's going to be war. There's no in between. Trump wants to get in and out of this thing. Israel's basically saying, hey, look, I hear you.

But can you please tell these terrorists, these Shia militants, these Iranian proxy, to stop shooting missiles? Yeah, let me see what I could do. Turns out they're not going to listen. Turns out that they actually swore an oath to Allah to eliminate Israel. Do you think that any negotiation is going to stop Hezbollah from starting war in Israel? What I know about Bibi is he wants peace, but until there's peace that's done, he's going to blow your stuff up. So we're going to remains that we see what happens in here. But Iran does not necessarily want peace.

They want to cut a deal. Who knows what's going on here? At the end of the day... Iran doesn't necessarily want peace. No, because... Iran... wants to cut a deal with U.S. You think Israel wants a deal?

Israel does not want a deal unless... Nuclear is done. And then they stop funding terrorism. I think it's even more than that. I don't think it's just nuclear. I think it's more than that. They want them to stop funding terrorism. Yeah.

But they want the IRGC gone. Of course. Is what Israel wants. But by the way, so do the people of Iran. Israel and the people of Iran have the exact same interest. They want the IRGC out of here. Why do you think the people of Iran are shouting, BB June, BB June? At the end of the day, Hezbollah is an Iranian military wing that is basically taken over and terrorized Lebanon.

Play this clips. Lebanon's held hostage. Here's what the president had to say about, Hezbollah and BB. Go for it, Rob. You have openly said you've been frustrated by Israel's continued bombing

of Lebanon. Are you and Prime Minister Netanyahu on the same page? Yeah, we are. We get along very well. We've been great comrades. We've did a very, very big number on a certain country

that was nothing but trouble for 47 years. I disagree with him on a couple of things. I'd like to see Lebanon have a better life. I'd like to see a more surgical attack on Hezbollah. I think it should be more surgical. And we can help them with that or we can recommend Syria. Syria is doing a very good job of cleaning up their rack.

They have a very good leader. They have a leader that's really done a good job in a short period of time. And he would love to help. Yeah, so that's his position. What do you stand with this? Well, I like the comment about Syria about trying to get other people that are interested in the outcome. Interested parties, yeah. Interested parties to participate.

But I think there's two things that are really clear. Adam said both of them with regard to IRGC. Israel wants IRGC gone, and they are going to continue to frustrate our attempts to get a ceasefire and a deal that doesn't include the just absolute crippling. of IRGC in some way. That's Israel's objective. So Israel's got two objectives. Get rid of IRGC and don't let the U.S. stop things too quickly or negotiate for a deal that you don't necessarily want.

That's it. And then try to get Syria to come in and help. And then Trump is trying to talk nice to BB to kind of smooth things over from last week, which I think we all believe happened. You know, you're effing nuts. You can't be doing it this way. You got to stay with us.

You know, you're crazy. And he's not crazy. He's just frustrating you. He's frustrating Trump. But Trump is still the dealmaker, and he is still the alpha dog here, and he's trying to not navigate a way through it. That's what I'm doing. Is this one recognizing the crazy call, Rob? Yeah.

Go forward. Now, Axios reported that you had a phone call with B.B. Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, in which you were angry with him. You said, are you effing crazy? What are you effing doing? I helped you stay out of jail. Is that true? Did you speak to him in those terms?

I did. I always say angry. I was a little bit perturbed at his... Constantly fighting with Lebanon. You know, at some point I said, we'll get to stop this. You got to stop it. But I have a very good relationship.

We've done well together. He always is. You can pause it right now. Vinny. Thoughts. His relationship that he's talking about with BB is like watching a rich, powerful father deal with the spoiled son. Like the father gets mad, yells publicly, tells him to stop doing certain things, but the son knows deep down, he's never actually getting any real trouble, Pat, and he's never going to get cut off.

So he keeps testing the boundaries, keeps going, because he knows the father at the end of the day isn't going to do anything. I think that's what frustrates a lot of freaking Americans. And I love when people are like, you guys all keep talking about Israel. No, it's because every time we turn, Israel's in the freaking news. fighting, Trump, no, don't do this, do this, we're going to bomb, we're going to do it. It's this constant back and forth where the warnings don't seem like they have any real consequences, Pat. And one thing that bothers people, a lot of people are worried, Israel has nuclear weapons, okay? As much as everybody tries to tip-be-tow. It's funny how every other country who has nukes,

Pat, has to be the non-proliferation treaty. You have to admit it because we have to have sanctions. It has to be inspections. Why does Israel get a pass? Does that bother anybody? What's their red line? If God forbid they use one in this war because Iran does something crazy, then what? Then what happens? Oh my God, a nuke went off in Israel. I'm sorry, a nuke went off in Iran. Who did it? Israel doesn't have nukes.

They're not, then what game are we playing? And Adam, for you to say Lebanon is little Iran, 40% of Lebanon are Christians that have nothing to do with. No, no, no, no, yeah, why? Because they're all dead because they're getting bombed? No, it's, there's a lot of, what do you mean by that? You're saying there used to be what? No, right now Lebanon, it's 30 to 40% Christian. There's a lot of Christians.

What did they used to be? Adam, I'm saying right now you said it's Little Iran. There's a lot of Christians there that aren't Muslim, that aren't even involved with any of this Shia or whatever that are affected. And again, it's always going to be the people. And Tom, you talked about the IRGC. I don't understand what you're trying to say. There's a lot of Christians.

You called it Little Iran. There's a lot of Christians there. And then where are all the Christians gone? What do you mean? They're still there. They live there. But it used to be 70% Christian. Why is it down to 30%?

You tell me. No, you're the one that made the claim. I'm asking you. I know the answer. So tell me. Tell me why. Before I give you the answer, I'd like to hear your opinion. Are they moving, Adam?

Why would they want to move? My question is to you, though. Yeah, because maybe there's bombs coming in, Adam. From who? Maybe there's bombs coming in. What do you mean? Israel's on a freaking campaign bombing Lebanon. They're seizing land.

It's not like, Adam. They're not strategically. You think the Christians are leaving Lebanon because Israel's bombing that? I would. I would. Who's bombing? Adam? How familiar are you with them?

history of Lebanon. And it's okay to say not much. I don't know that much. I'm just seeing what's happening in the news right now. Okay. Well, it's not the Jews are not the reason or Israel's not the reason that Christians are being persecuted in Lebanon. I'll give you one guess of who it is. Go ahead. Who do you think it is? It's the same reason that Egypt used to be Christian, that Syria used to be Christian, that Iraq used to be Christian. Your family is Christian, a Syrian. Who's running the country that you grew up in? Your family grew up in. It's always been Muslim. Well, Iran? Not always.

What do you mean? Iran. You're not realizing one simple thing. The Christians are being persecuted by the Muslims. The, the Coptic Christians were basically taken over by the Muslims. Iraq, your people, Assyrians, I'm shocked you don't know this, were taken over by the Muslims. It's the same thing that happened in Lebanon. Lebanon is the one country in the Middle East where they actually were like, look, guys,

let's try to do this experiment. Let's have Christians and Sunnis and Shias. all get together. And then the Shia was like, nah, nah, we're going to have a Hasbola come in here, and we're going to ruin everybody's life, including the Christians, including the Sunnis, and these people in Israel, them too. So my correction for you is learn your history and realize that the problem going on in Lebanon is not Israel. There's problems there. Don't get me wrong. But the reason the Christians are being persecuted is because of the intolerant, basically radical clerics and the Shiite terrorists that,

that have taken over and hijacked their country, just like they've done in Iran. That's what's going on. Well, my question is, so the Christians that are there right now. You understand what I just said? Yes. So my question to you is, you still go to my point, the 30 to 40%, let's say almost 38%,

that are Christian there right now, that the lives were just okay. They were just chilling. They're not getting murdered in Lebanon. I know people, by the way, the show that I'm doing today is with Jet, my friend Jack Jr. is dad. They're all from Lebanon.

They're not under attack and everything. Right now is families worried because there's bombings coming from Israel, and they're taking over. Then I love you. I'm just going to say this. Well, could I finish me? What I want you to do? Take a second. Don't be emotional. Do your research on what actually happened in Lebanon? Do you remember one in the podcasts we had Bridget Gabriel on? Who is she? She's the Middle Eastern. Middle Eastern, but what's her story? Adam, I don't know her whole story. Oh, come on then. Don't comment on this if you don't know.

Adam, I'm talking about what's happening right now. Right now. Because you said little Iran. You think Christians that are sitting in Lebanon right now consider themselves little Iran? Like why would you call them little Iran? Because Hezbollah has taken over their country. I encourage you to watch what Bridget Gabriel always says. She's a Christian, one of your people. Shout out to the Christians that was basically born in Lebanon and had to flee. And where did she flee too?

She fled to Israel because basically she was being persecuted for being Christian in her own country. So I encourage you, do some research, find out really the history. Find out really the history of Lebanon of why they basically were the Paris of the Middle East and now they're in this situation here with a Hezbollah takeover. I encourage you to do your research before you start just blaming it on the Jews.

So who said, see, and that's how the argument turns. That's literally what you said. That's literally what you said. I blamed it. See what? Watch this clip again. Do you see that argument that you just did? You see what you just did?

Blaming it on the Jews. That's where you take the... Where did I see Jews? or anything. No, no, I'm saying... What did I blame on Israel? Israel. Vinnie, I love you. I literally don't think you know what you're talking about here. Can I finish? I think you're very clueless on this.

Are you out with this, Tom? Do you have anything to add here? No, let's just... For people listening, and they're listening to the debate. No, forget about the people listening. I actually want you to think about what was said here. How do you provide? Do you have any feedback to give them? Yeah, yeah, I do. I don't think there's... There's been a sweeping change of influence in Lebanon, but Lebanon, we've been looking into this. Lebanon was 6040 Muslim Christian in the year 2000 with about four million people. It's now 7030 with about 6. Where was it before 2000? I don't know. But in very Christian country.

But in 25 years since, they are now 70 30 Muslim with the 70 percent evenly split Shiae-I-Suni. I looked this up over a week ago and looking at it and saying, what's at play here? What's happening? but to your point there is overwhelming influence over what's going there and dramatically increased persecution of the Christians are there because Hezbollah

By who? I give you that Who are they getting armed and influenced by? Iran. Yes, by Iran But I don't think it's fair to call them little Iran I think it's Lebanon being influenced by Hezbollah and I think that's what And Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran

And Isbolo is a proxy of Iran, but the influence is there, but there's a bunch of, it hasn't become like, you know, Minneapolis that became Little Mogadishu. I would argue it's actually worse than Minneapolis because they're not using bullets in Somalia yet. Do you think Minneapolis is worse than Lebanon with Hezbollah? No, I'm saying what people call Minneapolis little Mogadishu, they're making the same kind of... Yeah, well, it's a play on words here. Who funds Hezbollah? Iran. Who funds Houthis?

Iran. Who funds Hamas. Iran. Who funds ISIS? I'm then beginning with H, but I'm still going to go with Iran. Okay. So what chaos have those organizations created in the Middle East? It's dramatic.

In the Middle East and beyond. Yeah, the Middle East. And beyond. Specific to Middle East. It's been, Iran has been the bank and the instigator of the chaos pushing the Shia side of all of the rebels to kind of to get together under the HHHHI. You know what conclusion I've come up with with this or Israel and, you know, all the arguments.

This is what the argument, the conclusion I've come up with. Those who can't stand Israel, you can't change their minds. Those who think everything is Israel's fault. Like, you know, Vinny said earlier, you know, why is it decreasing? Who's doing the bombing? And he said, Israel. Vinnie said that about 10 minutes ago, right? So if you think everything's Israel's fault, that's probably not going to change, okay?

If you think everything is Iran's fault, IRGC's fault, the extremist fault, that's not going to change. My main concern is the people in the middle who are watching this, thinking to themselves, what the hell is going on? The reality of it is, you know, and I'm going to take a complete different angle of those who are watching, don't trust Israel and Mossad and what they're doing. They also have a valid argument. Okay. To me, here's a story. Pentagon raised threat of Israel spying on U.S. to the highest level sources say. Okay. What do you mean they're raising, you know, Pentagon is raising threat of Israel spying at the highest level? And who is running Pentagon today, by the way? Is it Democrats? Is it Republicans? Who's running a Pentagon today? Okay. Pentagon is increasingly concerned about

Israel rampant up spying U.S. recently raising the counterintelligence threat level from America's top ally in the Middle East to the highest level of the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials say they said the DIA posted an internal message viewed by one of the current officials that raised the level of Israel to critical the designation stems from concerns that within the Pentagon that Israel is making particular effort to surveil top U.S. officials to get information on the Trump administration's internal deliberations and decision making on the conflicts in the Middle East. The DIA assessment includes,

by the way, this is an NBC news story, a seven-page document and features a chart according to one, the current U.S. officials, the documents as assessment of Israel is that the ability to conduct human espionage and technical collection is at critical level, including the official. It also identifies a series of specific incidents that heightened U.S. concerns, a spokesperson for the Israeli embassy in D.C. said in the statement that it is completely false that Israel spies on U.S. Israel does not gather intelligence on American entities,

letter on U.S. government officials. The spokesperson said Israel intelligence collection efforts are aimed at enemies, not its allies. Any claims to the contrary are either misinformed or politically motivated. Adam, do you think any of this is happening with Mossad spying on U.S. officials?

Well, if it is, they should be held accountable and you should go to jail because it is fully illegal for any... Do you think it's happening? I have no clue. I assume that there's Chinese people here. I assume that there's Russian people here. I assume that there's Israeli people here. I would assume that there's MI6 here. What spies do with spy? Do you think there's any spying going on from Assad

to take Intel back so they know what's happening in the situation or negotiation? You're asking me, do I think that spy agencies are spying? Yeah. Your ally is spying is what he's saying. Do you think the ally Israel is spying on the United States of America? Are you trying to get me here? No, no. What are you trying to do you guys? Do you guys I'm saying that I think spy agency spy I'll just say this it is quote unquote

ally this is chat chbt if you want to trust them under US law without US authorization it is illegal under US law and can lead to arrest expulsions of diplomats sanctions of criminal prosecutions so if you're doing something illegal in the United States spying whatever country you are you should be held account and do you think Israel will be held Then, Vinnie, so both of you guys have a blind spot. We all have blind spots. Tell me what my blind spot. Vinny was completely wrong.

And I just read, and I just read the law. I'm with you on that. Vinny was not right at all. Vinny's not wrong. Vinny has an opinion that nobody can change his mind. Vinny has been convinced. Vinny's part of the community that believes everything's beyond Israel. I didn't say.

But, but I don't agree. At all. Vinny, you just said a few minutes ago. And by the way, it's okay. But I don't think everything is. But Vinny, maybe not everything, but if you have to say who's a bigger thread, you would say IRGC or Israel, IRGC. Then why did you say people Christians are leaving Israel, people Christians are leaving Lebanon because of Israel?

Well, because I know people that live in Lebanon that. No, but do you realize that statement like Christians are leaving Lebanon because of Israel? I mean, even the most organized Muslims who study the history who are reasonable would say that's not true. But the president of Lebanon is a Christian. So is Hezbollah murdering Christians every day in Lebanon? I'm curious because they're bombing Beirut. Do you know why it's Christian? What do you think Hezbollah does for a living?

No, what I'm saying is actively right now, are they murdering Christians? I'm asking. What do you think Hezbollah Hamas, Houthis, and ISIS does? What do you think their vision? They're terrorists. Have you read their mission statement? No. Do you know their mission statement of what they stand for?

No. Okay. So if you go look up, Rob, pull up the original mission statement of Hezbollah, Houthis, ISIS, and what was the last one? What was the last one we said? Hamas. What is their mission statement? What is their mission statement? Where they're at, okay?

1985, open letter manifest, so the group's fundamental goal was the expulsion of American and Israeli forces from Lebanon. This is Hezbollah. Expulsion of American Israel forces from Lebanon, the complete destruction of the state of Israel and the establishment of Islamic State in Lebanon operating on the strict law. That's the manifesto of Hezbollah. I know you.

You don't support that. At all. Okay, let me go to the next one. Houthis. Originating in the 90s as a revivalist movement of Yemen, Zaidis, Shia minority, their stated goals on opposing U.S. and Israeli hegemony, fighting perceived political marginalization in Yemen and establishing a government aligned with their interception of Islamic principles.

Okay. ISIS. Growing out of al-Qaeda. and Iraq, ISIS's primary transition was the violent overthrow of existing Middle Eastern governments to establish a borderless global Islamic calified governed by fundamentalist interpretation of Sharia law. This is their original mission statement, okay? Not whatever anybody says today on YouTube.

Hamas outlined in 1988 foundational charter Hamas, an offshoot of the past Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood, stated that all historic Palestine is an Islamic endowment and called the destruction of the state of Israel through jihad to establish the Islamic State. While a 2017 revised document softened it, but that's the original. So if that's your vision and mission statement, I know you.

You're not for that. This is not something that you're for. But in your, in the Malak, I read this story about Pentagon with Israel spying. What do you think my position is with Israel's spine? What do you think I'm at with it? You're not a fan of it at all?

Do you think I think they're spying? 100%? I 100% believe they're spying. Yes. Do you think I think Bibi wants the deal to get done with Iran? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. He doesn't want. Do you think I think that BB is a guy that will listen to anything, anybody else says, or do you think he's going to be Israel first and doing what he thinks is right for his state? Israel first and what is going to be,

okay, but do you think I think that Trump is controlled by Israel? No. That's the part where I differ with others. Okay. And I don't know where you are with that. I don't, okay, ready for this? Number one, for anybody that knows me, I don't, I'm not one of these losers, streamers, from all of them that everything is Israel. Absolutely not. I just want accountability when it comes to stuff like the spying. And Adam, you want to talk about history? Know your history. John Kariako was here talking about it live, talking about everything that Israel does and bugs everybody. Because John Kariaku has the most credibility out there. Adam, you're still in denial, which is fine because I just want to... What am I in doubt? When they're spying on us, hold on,

here's my thing. When they're spying, Pat, when their Pentagon is admitting it, when they have nukes, but nobody could say it. When they're doing all this stuff, can we just be, Hold them accountable, like you said, Adam, put people in jail. It's not about blaming them, but it's, for instance, we just, the first story, this story started that the president keeps arguing back and forth the beauty. I'm tired of it because we have to pretend like, oh, here we go. No, don't bomb this, don't all this. Because at the end of the day, Pat, what, what's the goal?

This whole thing started with Iran to save the people. But all the New York Times reported that in the situation room, Israel kept pushing for this thing and said, oh, regime changed, here's my question. because we're all about solutions. How do you get rid of the IRGC? That's the goal. How do you do it? Give me that goal.

Give me that prescription. I'm very curious because they're evil. They suck and I hope that they're all wiped out. How do we do it? Because the people are the ones that I care about. I can give a damn. You're not going to like the answer on how you do it. That's bad.

But let me ask you, how do you do it? That's why I'm asking the question. How do you do it? The real deal? How do you get road to IRC? You have to bomb pat and go in there, ground truth and invade. Can you do it alone without Israel's help? I mean, us? America? Of course we could.

You think you can do without Israel's intel that you need from them? America? Yeah. I mean, we probably use them. Don't be naive here. I'm not. We need their intel, of course. So then give me what other allies you have in them. If you're saying we got to get, I'm not telling you, that's what it is. Your position is we have to get rid of our G. What allies do you need in the Middle East for us to be able to do that?

It would probably be some of the Gulf states and Israel, obviously. Okay, so you need their help. Of course. So in this situation. you're going to want to team up with them knowing you need an alliance with them. Yes, even though they're the ones that came into the situation, and say, hey, all these objectives, we're going to do it. Yeah, come on, it's misleading.

To me, Vin, the biggest thing is to follow them. Like, when I go to insurance conferences, and I would see guys who are my enemies, who I know they're stealing agents from me. Yeah. I know they are, okay? And I know what they're saying behind my back. I know it.

but these are people that if I'm trying to take out a bigger enemy that I have to have an ally with them to do business you have to either be so black and white or understand that to get to the highest level of business there's some gray area you have to deal with. Not illegal, but there's a gray area where you may need to negotiate with your peers

and team up with them. In a situation like this, I mean, if you want to go after IRGC, Vinny, even if you were the world leader, you would need to talk to BB. You would need to be friendly. You would need to be a friend. You would need to be able to deal with that.

That's what this guy's doing. So to me, I think there is spying going on. And it's not because of what John Kiriaku said, but I'll speak to five different CIA officers. And they'll tell me the same thing and say, they spy, we spy, we all are spying on each other. Literally it's like one of those things where you sit in a room. You ever seen Mr. and Mrs. Smith?

Yes. Remember with Angelina Jolie? And they both kind of know, hey, she's trying to kill me. I'm trying to kill you. But I love you. Yeah. You know what I'm since? One of those weird situations.

I think this is a very weird place where at my only hopes is, still, my only hopes is that this thing gets done by June 14th. And that cutoff day is coming what? Where are we at six more days? I would love to see one day we wake up and it says the deal has been done. Now, will that happen or not? I don't know. I don't know if deal is going to get done by then or not. I'm still optimistic that that day takes place.

And, you know, we move on from it. Adam, I'll give you last thoughts on this. Look, I totally appreciate that there's a lot of people in America that are not fans of BB. By the way, there's a lot of people in America that are not fans of Trump. But we live in a society that has what is called elections. When's the last time they had an election, a real election in Iran? When's the last time they had a real election in Russia or China or North Korea? We have elections.

And the reality is Trump got elected. And what's his approval ratings at this point? 40-something? By the way, do you know also hates BB? Half of Israel. So understand that it's a democracy. So there's a lot of people, unfortunately, that have TDS in America and then have IDS, Israel derangement syndrome all over the world

and they can't just basically think clearly. Here's what I believe. I think Trump, in conjunction with Bibi and a few other people, are literally saving the Western world from Islamists, Marxists, the woke agenda. Do you believe that? What was it? No, no, do you believe that Trump and Bibi are saving the Western world? Trump and be, and by defining it, by saving.

By fighting to either eliminate IRGC or get them to not have the powers that they have. 100% if the mission was clear, meaning it was an achievable goal, Pat, because I agree with, we're going to go there and we're going to liberate the people. What happened? What happened to the people? Because I haven't heard one peep from anybody about the people. Because everything turned into Carg Island and oil and, okay, what happened? to the objective was what?

Save these freaking 40,000 people who died. Did they die in vain? Have you heard one protest? It was just, I haven't heard one thing. We're the only ones talking about these people and God rest all their souls. And now what? Now the IRC is still in charge.

Imagine what their lives are right now. Oh, the RJC right now is going, okay, we're still fighting. And now they're turning around at them and going, oh, you guys were fighting against us, were you? And I appreciate what you're saying, who killed those people? The IRGC.

And then who's fighting against the IRGC? We are, but we told them to step up, America. And who else? Israel. Okay. Okay. So in de facto, who's defending the fallen dead people that you're complaining about? Who told them to go in the streets and fight?

We told them, hey, guys, we got your back. And then you don't got their back? It's not, no, Adam, you can't say all right. And who are you calling out? I don't know who you're calling out. No, what I'm, okay, guys. I don't know what you're doing. I wish I could find this one.

And I've heard you saying that many, many times, but let me go to it. But is it a fact? What I'm saying? It's not about whether it's a fact or not. Let me tell you where this goes. I wish I could find a chapter to read this to you. So I'm reading a book right now, which it's a decent book. I don't know if I recommend it to everybody, but it's a decent book.

The book is called CO Excellence by two senior partners written by McKinsey. A little bit too much DEI stuff and climate change stuff for my cup of tea, but it's a decent book. One of the things that talks about is the relationship with boards. And there's about three or four chapters in these books. boards that the CEO has access to every information that even as executives don't have access to all the information that he has. And he has to go to the board and make a decision, right? There's going to be many times CEO is going to make a decision, a company that nobody needs to

know everything that's going on. You're not at that pay grade level to know about it. So we don't know why Trump made the adjustment. We don't know why he went through where he went through. You don't know what he knows that you and I don't know. Nobody knows this. He, got elected and he made the pivot of where he went to. It could have been because he didn't feel there was a replacement in Iran that was strong enough. He thought somebody else was going to come out of it. The reality of it is, imagine you go out there and you say, here's what we're going to be doing. There's one guy that says, I got military that's going to defect and it's going to come. Another guy that says this, and then nothing happens. So now you have to take

responsibility for doing all of that work yourself. Now it's on him? You think that's on Trump's job? Well, I'm sorry? That him, him getting all the information? He goes there and says, I'm going to save, we're going to do this. In the situation room. Yeah. But he says that. Yeah. And then things change on the back in with information that you were hoping that's out of your control.

What would you do? If I was in the, if I as the President of the United States, I was sitting in a room. You say that and you're going to do that. We're coming. We're going to come save you. And then events that you have information on, things change. Would you pivot or would you still go on and do what you said you were going to do? You have to stay the course because that's what America does.

But let me ask you a question. If you're the president and you're in a situation room and all your trusted advisors are going, hey, don't listen to this people. You can't go to that position. What do you mean? No, no, you can't because, Benny, isolate. We can go there if you want to, isolate.

You're the president. Yes. You say Iranian people were coming. If he says that in his mind, what do you think he knows or he's thinking? There's an achievable goal to help them. Do you think he thinks he thinks he can do that by himself? No. Because he thinks there's other people involved that are going to help that become a reality, right?

Okay, great. So now you realize those other people that you initially assumed are strong. Maybe your people said they're strong. Maybe half of them said they're not. You took the risk I'm going with it. All of a sudden, situation changes. You realize no military is defecting. Nothing's flipping on Iran.

Then do you adjust as a leader? You have to. So then what do you do? Do you go out there and tell the world exactly why you're adjusting? Do you do that? No. You can't show your hand. Because then the other guys that are talking to you are no longer going to talk to you and tell you everything.

I agree. We oversimplified this whole thing in so many ways. Here's what do we know? What do we know? What cards do we know that's out there? Is IRGC a net positive to the world? No. Is Houthi's a net positive to the world?

Is Hamas a net positive to the world? Is Hezbollah net positive to the world? Is Israel a net positive to the world? Yes. What do you think? Is it a net positive to the world? I don't even know how to answer that. You just answer the other ones easily.

And what's very easy is it, say Israel doesn't exist. Say we actually, like, would you like Israel to be gone? I would never say that. So then you would have them exist and not exist. Of course. So when they got their state, you think that was a bad idea that they got their state? I don't think it was a bad idea. I think they fought for it.

In England, the Rothschilds and everybody gave them the land in Palestine. Okay. So what I'm saying to you is today, today is the way. Is the Middle East a better place of Israel didn't exist? Is the Middle East a better place of Israel? I don't think so because it would be all ran by the same. So why don't you take that position? So the position is what?

Your position is what? It's a better place. It's a better place with Israel there, obviously, because if not, we'd have everybody would hate us. So that's a position now. Yeah. So let me recap. What do you mean?

Hate us? Hate America. If everybody was Hezbollah, Houthi, Iran, and everybody would hate them? You think the world today hates Israel more or America more? Israel. Who do you think? The world?

Yeah. So if I go on poll, if I go and poll people in the world and they said, who do they hate more? Israel or U.S.? What do you think they would say? In the world? Honestly, Tom. I'm not talking Americans outside. But America, Pat, or Israel as a nation?

Israel as a nation led by Bibi or U.S. Who do you think they hate more? Wow. Remember the world population of religions, just go basic math. almost 2 billion people that are Muslims in the world do you think they hate Israel more or America more? I mean we've done a lot of damage to Muslims This is actually a very simple thing Vinny

Who do you think they hate more? Tom what do you think? They hate us because to them So we say oh look at Iran with Hootis Hezbollah Hamas They look at the U.S and they make their own less Oh the great Satan and all of its daughters Yeah we started the wars They hate us because we represent the good

I think there's actually a chart on it. Who is the most hated man in the world? Donald Trump. No, he's not. No, it's BB's number one. Really? Oh, yeah, this report came out six months ago. It was a report.

I even think we talked about it, Vinnie. I even think we talked about it. So we were right, though, America, because of all the wars and everything that we saw, people hate America. But I think, but I think U.S. is, there was a thing that came out where he was number one. I think Musk was two.

Or Musk was one. We talked about this. Rob, you're going to find this. I guarantee Rob's going to find this. On who are the most hated. It was a major Gallupol tracking public favorability as the most disliked public figures. Israel prime ministers widely viewed as the most unpopular world leaders globally.

Okay, number one. And then Musk was number one. By the way, BB is more hated than Trump. think about that yeah okay BB is more hated than Trump and then which one was the country

that had the most negative Rob this is it good work Rob zoom in a little bit who was it very unfavorable go a little bit lower a little bit lower Pakistan 95

where's Israel that's all I'm looking for this is actually majority of countries have negative views of Israel oh of Israel okay so but where's the one that hate which country is the most hated

Yeah, but there is, Vinnie. There is, and it was... It was America. Bibi was number one, and Musk was number one on the business side. If you're looking at ranking, what I'm going to this? Yeah, but do you know where I'm going with this? This is kind of where I'm going with this.

What's the hate towards us? What's the hate towards Israel? Right there. What does it say at the top? Netanyahu ranked as what? Bronsman. Likely. And that's two months ago, three months ago.

Four months ago. Three and a half months ago. Okay. So there is a reason for this on why this is happening. And a lot of this falls on him. A lot of it falls on what they've done. But a part of, maybe this is going to sound very weird for me to say this. Part of this is like the hate is going towards them, not as much to America.

And Trump is trying to find a way, hey man, are you going to come? I love. I love that every time he makes a good. call and he still attacks, that the world sees it, that he's still choosing to do it himself. So when you do something like that, what are you showing to the world? You're showing you're not as good of an ally as you claim you are. If we're coming out of our way to help and you're doing this, you're not listening, hey, that's not ally business. Allied businesses listen. But to me, when you go through, look at this, the basic questions, is Hezbollah net positive to the

world? No. Is IRGC net positive to the world? Is Hamas. Is Houthis a net positive? Is Israel a net positive? You said what? Yes. You said finally yes. So, and by the way, if somebody says no, then great, that's your position. But if somebody says those four are net positives to the world, who funds those four? One country, Vinny.

Iran. One country funds them. So I want to get to the next story. I want to get to next story. We've been going back and forth on this. I want to get to next story. Next one I want to get to is YouTube. YouTubers taken over Hollywood.

Rob, what a weird transition. We went from that to this, but we're going to do that. That's the people to find. We'll have the conversations. You're damn right. And the audience can debate, argue, say whatever you want, but it is what it is. Let me go to the story. Rob, what page is this with the YouTuber?

So this weekend, I decided to go watch two movies. Page 30. YouTube's takeover. I found it. This weekend, I decided to go watch two movies. My son and Vinny last weekend went and watched backrooms, okay? And they're like, you have to watch it,

you have to do this, you have to do it. So I go watch it. I watch it on Saturdays. Saturday. And then on Sunday last night, we went and watched obsession, okay? Which, by the way, both YouTubers for backrooms, the guy's name is Kane Parsons, who is 20 years old when the movie was done, the director of the movie,

he posted a video, we talked about this last week, got 79 million views. If you go on YouTube, Rob, type in backrooms and search for filter popularity. You will see this video alone as 79 million views. When he first came up with it, it was at 7.9 million views. Now it's at, I'm sorry, 83 million views today. That clip that he made, Kane Pixels, okay? So this leads to a movie that he does, $10 million they raise.

I believe that $10 million made $150 million. Then you have Curry Barker, 26 years old Vinayat, anytime correct me, 26 years old who decides to do this movie obsession. How can working at your local Tims take you further? Sure, you can level up your teamwork skills. You also get a chance to receive a Tim Horan scholarship award. Ready for what's next? Apply today at careers.timhorins.ca.

Yep. which is a girl that gets obsessed because this one thing that you crack and make a wish, and he says, I wish she loved me. More than anything in the world. And by the way, when it happens within a second, it's the scene, he's in the car, he breaks it. What's the girl's name in the movie? Anna, I don't know what the girl's name was in the movie. Her real name is Indy Navarette.

Indie Navarette, which, by the way, she made the flipping movie. You ready for this? $750,000 is how much it cost to do? the movie. The movie's made $150 million. $200x rate of return. By the way, if anybody knows Indy Navarette, Vinny kind of likes her. Okay. Oh, yeah, man. She was ridiculous. And by the way, she is about to become a superstar. Superstar. If you haven't seen, she crushed it, right? $750,000 makes $150 million. And by the way, Mandalorian came out a couple weeks ago. Yeah.

Mandalorian, the budget, everything, marketing was $300 million. It's made $240 million, which means it's lost already, $60 million under $300 million investment. So what's the story here? YouTubers, independent creators are making movies after making a name for themselves on YouTube, and it's translating. Vinnie, a couple of things on the movies that we can get through. Okay, a couple things to say about the movie. And spoiler alert, we're not going to give away the movie, but you guys obviously know the makeup. So here's what happens at the end, both of them.

Let me break it for you. Everybody's dead. No, I'm joking. So, by I, just FYI, Indy Navarretti, she used to be a call of duty streamer. I know Alberto would love that first movie in 40 years to make more money in its third weekend than its first two weekends. It's amazing, Pat. It's just, I love the fact that Hollywood, like, I don't want to call it Hollywood, but like the independent, the horror movies are back. You don't need to spend, like you said, $300 million with advertising and

CGI and this and that. If the writing is good and there's a following and you're actually getting scared, it's so freaking worth it. And it's like actual, like, look at how great the movie is. You have a beautiful girl, beautiful girl that keeps that audience like, oh my God, look how gorgeous she is. They don't show anything crazy, but they're revealing that. I mean, they showed a few crazy things.

They did show a couple. Can I see a pick already? This beautiful girl that's the beautiful girl that keep talking about? That's all right. No, that's not like, that's not, yeah, Rob, go to Google. There's a couple scenes that she acts. Oh, it's ridiculous. And let me tell you, she will, there's a couple scenes right there.

She looks like a very nice person. No, she, by the way, the way she played, I think she's got a dark side. I'm convinced. Even better. She definitely does. So bad thing about it. Writing, good writing, good ending, the acting. Obviously, they put beautiful people in there.

And then he was, bro, he's dying laughing to where the art section was laughing. So it's like, you got everything. What happened about in a horror movie? Trust me, don't give it away. But Pat, didn't it feel good because when we were in the theater, how pack was the theater? The jam packed. Jam packed. Movies 20 minutes and people are still walking in.

Still walking in. And didn't it feel good? I looked around a couple times. I know if you noticed. And I'm like, wow, going out and going to the movies are back. For how many years have- Who called these guys out? Who said bad things about them?

The guy that only made nine movies doesn't want to make his tent? The big director was his name. Quintan-Trentino. Quentin Tarantino's like, yeah, whatever, all this stuff. By the way. These movie theaters, this is the first time. What was the number that came about the movie theaters, Rob? That this is the first time they're making money like the way.

Yeah, Rob, if you Google like May, May box office for movie theaters, AMC theater. AMC theaters. AMC theaters, yes. So these record highs pack. What do you see it? Yeah, there you go. AMC Entertainment record high, domestic and global may attendance since 2019. Wow.

So YouTubers C start. So AMC Entertainment, Larker, AMC Entertainment, largest. Welcome more than 4.2 million moviegoers to its U.S. AMC. theater in a month of May, Thursday, Sunday night, and yet another strong weekend at the box office in May, both domestically and globally MC entertainment, received 225 million guests at our theaters, recording the highest attendance month of May since 2019. Backroom's opening $81 million, and then it talks about the following, $75 million. So these guys making these movies are directly and indirectly, and indirectly, impacting other businesses that have been dying for a few years. And you know, it's a beautiful thing about it, Pat, with everything with AI coming out,

and this is such a good brand for human, because they're all human. What AI, what, there was no crazy special graphics. There was no fake people in it. Everything was real. Every actor was real. And it's, I think it's a great sign for the future of cinema, Pat. And it's all because of YouTubers.

$750,000 that's going to turn. He's saying that they're on track for $200 million. And Backrooms was $10 million. obsession. And backrooms is going to it's going to hit $300 million. It's insane. Obsession was a better movie than backrooms for me. How much? I give obsessions

a, and by the way, these are horror movies. And you don't really, you don't watch horror movies like me and Tico. My son loves horror movies. He's just obsessed with horror. He'll sit in the room by himself and watch Exorcist. He'll sit and watch with the lights off and he'll watch it by himself and finish it off. I give, I give obsession

a good eight and a half and I give backrooms a seven and a quarter. Okay, so I still up there, though. But I give the, I give the directors that are doing this a high praise of what they're doing because it only benefits creators. Creators are winning, which is a good thing for everybody.

And the business model is changing, Vinnie. And by the way, scary movie even came out. How did they do this weekend? Scary movie had over a hundred and, I think, 15 million. I think it was number one that globally everywhere. So the $55 million opening weekend with additional $15.5 million from an

international market. Let's go. 105.5 million dollars, scary movie. By the way, pushing an entire scary movie franchise price a billion dollars. Wow. The production budget was 30 million. 30 million.

So 30 million made 105 million opening weekend. Yes. Horror movies are back. They're back. And even spoofing them. That's Marlon and all my friends are back. Can I give you one wild theory that I... Tell me.

I don't want to... Spoiler, it's not going to give... I don't think it'll give it away, but you tell me to stop if I have to stop. Are you ready for this? Nikki, the girl, isn't just obsessed with Bear. she is Bear's dead cat. You want me to tell you why? You want me to tell you why?

Think about it. She hides in corners and watches him sleep. The way she moves almost feels cat-like. She waits by the door for him all day. Her glowing eyes, remember in that silhouette and that one shot in the mirror where eyes looked like a cat? You remember that? She literally brings dead things to him, just like cats bring gifts to her dead

owners. The theory is that Bear made a wish at the one-wish willow. I wish, you love me more than anyone in the world. his dead cat spirit was nearby and entered Nikki. I don't want to go on to the road. Oh, by the way. Oh, my God. There is five scenes in this movie.

Yeah. There's five scenes in this movie. By the way, there's one scene in backrooms where he brings the rope with his two employees. Oh, one guy goes downstairs. He comes back up. He sees something and then they go all the way down. Scary as hell. That's one in back rooms.

Oh. And then in this one where, you know, I mean, there's a handful of scenes. Her standing in the corner. Oh, my God. When he goes to eat the sandwich, takes a bite out of the, the sandwich and it finds out what's in the sandwich, what it's made with. I mean, it's... It was nasty.

I just have a suggestion. Yeah. You know, I'm not the movie guy. But you guys, your face lights up when you talk about movies. I'm clueless. Tom hasn't said anything. I'm just bewildered right now. I think there's a room in the marketplace for a new updated version of Siskel and Ebert.

I think PBD and Vinny a movie review once a week. But that's a lot of... You guys watch the movies every weekend. I'm proposing this idea. I think you had like a $10 million. 10 million-dollar view clip when you're talking about movies that you recommend for people, whatever those movies are. Look.

I want you guys to do something about this. Here's a reality. Make it half the meeting. We're going to make a movie in the next couple of years. You'll hear about it. We're excited about it. I love the fact that the creatives are doing what they're doing. But I want to do one last story before we wrap up.

Before I go to this story. Yes. I want to do one last story. And before I do this story, can I read a story to you guys? Let me read a story to you. Yes, please. Here's a story. Father's Days around the corner.

By the way, hundreds of. you have already placed your orders, which I freaking love. It tells me where you are with fathers and grandfathers, and a bunch of you guys are just ordering the grandpa shirt. Grandpa knows everything, Rob, if you can go to it on the side. But I want to read this story to you, which I kind of, I think about this a lot. A father spends years teaching his son how to ride a bike. At first, he runs beside him.

Then he lets go for a second. Then a little longer. Then, one day, the son rides away on his own. The son thinks, my dad finally stopped helping me. What he doesn't realize is that his father stood there watching until he disappeared around the corner, praying he'd be okay. That's fatherhood. A father spends his life preparing his children for the day they no longer need him.

Isn't that wild? This morning I woke up. Brooklyn came to our bed last night, And the kids slept in our room, two of them slept in our room. And I wake up and I'm about to leave and she's still laying there. And I said, you know what? Let me just record this for myself for footage because I may never see this again. You know, as the age, you're all.

The sun doesn't come in anymore. I take the video and I just record Brooklyn in our bed. Literally, I record Brooklyn in our bed. And I'm, look at this. Oh, that face, Benny. I record this in our bed. What is she dreaming about? You know, and she's just laying there.

But the way she put in it. She got all these tattoos. Fake tattoos yesterday on her. But to those of you that want to give that experience to your fathers or grandfathers, go to VTemerge.com, place the order before these things sell out and put a smile on their face. These guys are behind closures, doing everything they can to make your future a better life. But again, go to VTemerge.com, whether it's the box that goes to them or it's the shirt individually that goes to them, get something.

And some of you guys, if you got a bunch of dads you're working with, get 20 of them, give it away to the people I work. Sales guys use it as a recognition thing to give it to everybody. Rob, can you go to the best dad ever shirt as well? There's one that says best that ever. If you don't do the bundle, just order 20, 30 of these and go give it away to people. On the back of these shirts, if you go to the back, it says future looks bright on the back. So VTL will go on it.

All right. So with that being said, let's go to the last story. Last story, Knicks are playing tonight against the spurs. President Trump is planning on attending the game. Is it guaranteed? Not guaranteed, but he's planning on attending the game. Now, at first some people said, BB may go with him. That's not going to be happening.

That would be freaking. Mamdani, BB and Trump from growing up. He asked Momdani, where will you be sitting? I will not be sitting with the president if the president come. Momdani commented on that. But they were asking about, you know, Knicks and all this stuff. And I found a clip. Is this the one him saying that he?

By the way, this is, yeah, because a lot of people are saying, where the prices are high, it's not fair, it's not this, it's not that. And the president says something very simple about prices being high, but go ahead, Rob. It's not, by the way, 11,000. It's not worth it. Well, I know, but they can watch it on television. It's sort of semi-free to watch it on television, but that's the way life goes.

You have some, and now if the game wasn't a big, if the team wasn't a big success, you could go very easily. So, you know, you can do that too. That's the way life is. They've had great success. And don't forget, they've suffered also losses, and they've suffered during the bad time. Now they have a good time.

They have a team that's amazing. I don't think they've lost a playoff game, right? And by the way, so a lot of people are like, well, why would he go? Why would he do this? Why would he do that? There's a clip that was circulating. Rob, I think I sent it to you of him.

This is Ewing after his interview. Watch what he does right after. And by the way, a lot of people say Ewing is possible. the greatest think, if not at top to the greatest think of all time, because you got Frayor, you got a few different names. Willis? Watch this one here. Go ahead. You're glad your teammates didn't come off the bench.

I'm glad we got the wings. Yeah. Watch this. All right, Craig, and a lot of defense, too, because the pace is where a hell of scorlands in the last. You haven't seen this? No. Look it is.

Trump's been around for 50 years. He's been around for a long time. He's a racist and he hates black people. Why would he do that? So what do you think? By the way, one, do you think he's going to show up? Two, do you think he's going to show up? Two, do you think they're going to boo?

They're going to, because, you know, Stephen A. had some things to say about it. You think they're going to boo? You think they're going to react negatively, positively. What do you think is going to happen? I think New York, Pat, they're obviously going to boo. It'll be a mixed-mixed emotion, more booze. But guess what? He's going to sit there and he's going to smile and he's like, guess what?

I didn't pay for this ticket. I'm here. Tom. I think the whole premise of the question from the reporter, as if it's Trump's fault that the ticket prices are high. We're asking him a got-you question. And he gives a very, very, very bad. balanced dancer. So that's once again, the media at work. And then Mandami and all the circus

that are going to be there on his side, as if the Knicks haven't suffered enough over the years. You know, they don't, they certainly don't need that. But I think if he wants to be there, be there. And then if fans are going to boo, fans are going to boo. I think he'll get more cheers than he thinks, but it's not going to be like UFC. It's not going to be UFC a year ago. Adam. Can you run a poll, Rob? I want to know what people would say. Run a poll to see. Is he going to get more booze or more cheers? Go ahead, Adam.

I'm a little torn right now. I hate the Knicks. I've never liked the Knicks. I'm a heat fan. One of the greatest joys in my life is watching the Heat win their multiple championships, whether it was Shaq and Wade, whether it was LeBron and Wade and Bosch. And, you know, with Jimmy Butler going to the finals twice with the Heat, I hate the Knicks. But at the same time, I like a good story.

I think Jalen Brunson is the most underrated player in the NBA. and people realize that this guy is an absolute stud at this point. But at the end of the day, I don't want Mom Dani having any victories at all. Zero. By the way, this will be a big. I think that guy is just a. I know. You're always going to say.

Smiling, lion. Yeah, of course. This communist shows up and all of a sudden the Knicks are good. I think Wembe is going to show up tonight. This alien freak of nature is going to actually win a game. Do you think the Knicks are going to sweep the spurs if they do? They got more than Trump, more than. Phoebe, they got Hashem looking down on them.

I don't know what to tell you, but Jalen Brunson's awesome, but I am not rooting for the next. Could you at all? Do you imagine though they do sweep and they're all in the court, like, yay! And Monday's with them, and they're all saying, he's like, I'm going to tax your guys his second home, 55%. And by the way, Stephen A. Smith, I love you, bro. You're the man.

I want you weeping and crying tonight, bro. What does Stephen A say about him? He says, he says, I don't want Trump showing up. I don't want Trump showing up. I don't want nobody showing up. Let me see it. He's coming to game three of the final. And I don't want him there. Of course he doesn't.

He's coming to game four of the NBA finals. And I don't want him there. Doesn't matter what you want, Stephen N. It has nothing to do with politics, policy, or anything like this. It has everything to do with him disrupting and confirming to the chaos that's going to be existing in Madison Square Garden. If there was ever a time, if it were Barack Obama coming to the chaos. to the garden, I would say stay home. He's being real.

He's being real. If it was George W. Clinton or somebody, stared at the white house. Don't come. You don't understand. I'm going to come. What Monday is going to be like

in New York City? I agree with them there. Chaos. The subways will never be more packed. God forbid. Don't drive your cars in Midtown. I'm trying to tell you, it'll be a.

parking lot. There is nothing short of madness that is coming the way. Great take. So do you think, okay, do you, because if it's a sweep, I mean, when's the last time? But let me tell you why. I think there's no winning here for the president. And I'll explain to why. Okay. I'll give you my position. I think there's winning if the Knicks were down 2-0. And he goes and they win. Yeah. Okay. But because the are up to O if he goes and they get their first lost, the loss, everything on every cover of New York Times post, every sports, everything's going to say the bad luck charm.

By the way, if he goes and they win, it's going to be like, okay, they've been on a 12, 13 game win streak, so it's not like you're the reason. They haven't won for a month and a half. They haven't lost for a month and a half. It's not like you did it. But if he goes and they end up sweeping, okay, cool, maybe it's fine. but if he goes, and I'm telling you right now, Vinny.

No, no, no, let me tell you, if he go, I'm telling you right, if he goes, and the spurs come back and went four to two or four to three. This may be, but Nixon, they will forgive the Iranian deal. They will not forgive this deal. That's fine. They're going to be like, you know what? Oh my God. Forget about all the Israel, BB, Iran, everything, economy, gas prices.

You ruined it. You're the reason for it. I don't know. If I'm an advisor, I'm like, look, you can, you're going to know. whatever you're going to do. Has anybody ever been swept in the championship? Yes, of course. Sweeps?

Like Shaq, first time he went to the finals, Mattie. Oh, yeah. Wow. Shaq lost 4-0. First time he went to the finals. The heat got swept by the Nuggets. Like how many times, Robbie? Is it a lot?

Oh, it's happened. It's happened. Nine. Nine. Maybe the heat won one. It's happened quite a few times. Warriors' Cavs. Yeah, by the way, there was a good,

back and forth with Shaq and Charles Barkley. I don't know if you guys saw this one. It was actually very, very good. TNT. Did you see it? Did you guys, you don't do basketball? I watch all the time. What was this one?

So Shaq and Barkley were going back and forth. Was that a little jab at me? It was. Jack and Barkley were going back and forth. And you know what the discussion was about? Winning championship? The cat is better than Wembeah. Yeah, so the argument was, no, this is not it.

No, they literally are screaming at each other. I think this is, yeah, Rob, you have to find it. Just put Shaq and Barkley argue over Wemby. Just argue. Yeah. So when you see this and then Barkley finally says, Shaq, stop acting like everybody has to show up. You got swept.

Okay, just type and swept. Okay, type and swept right after that. Sweeped. Sweeped. Yeah, anyways, there was a big back and forth between two. You're not going to find it. I'll find it. I want to see it.

So anyways, it was such a great clip between the two of them where he's like, hey, what are he talking about? He got swept by a team. Wembe's not playing the way he should. And Barclay's like, dude, you got swept four zero. against the freaking rocket. Oh, he does that? And then it was like, it was, it got very, but it was good for TV.

It was good for TV between two and it. Barkley is made for TV. Shaq is not a good. And then Shaq says, dude, he says, Shaq says, you played 16 seasons. You never won a championship. Yeah. Unfortunately, Barclay's never going to live that down. Huh?

Barclay's never going to live that down. He accepts it, though. He accepts it. So anyways. Anyway, what's your prediction tonight? Tonight? Yeah, what's your prediction? What's your prediction for the series?

Well, listen. I, I'm, I'm leaning toward, I want Wemby to win the whole thing because I always look at things as who's a better number one. I don't think, I think you have city, then you have face of the NBA. Jalen's not the face of the NBA. No. He's just not. He's not even top three face of the NBA.

He's great for little guys that make it into the NBA. Like Steph Cree was very good for everybody feeling like they can get into the NBA. So Jalen is good for the little guy to feel that they can get in the NBA and fight. Some of the old clips you see with Jalen and his dad, they're the best. You ever seen these old clips. You know who his dad is, right? His dad played 10 seconds in the finals. No.

His dad played 10 seconds in the NBA finals. I had no idea. You didn't know that? Yeah, his dad played 10 seconds in the NBA finals, his dad did. So it's actually a very good story of what's going on here. Yeah, his dad played. Rob, can you, can you fact check me if his dad played 10 seconds in the finals? Rick Brunson?

Yeah. He was a player. I mean, but this is an instance where the son is infinitely better than the father. What is the Brunson got nine seconds. Look at this video. Nine seconds. In the Knicks' last NBA finals, Jalen finally gets a chance to finish the story. So I don't know.

Two years old. I think if I'm a betting man, Knicks are winning it all. If I'm talking about voting, like if I want who to win, I want Wembe to make a comeback. And we'll see. I guarantee you this. The Knicks are not sweeping the spurs. They may win tonight. We'll see.

But there's no chance. There's no chance. Are sweeping? The spurs are a better team. They're just being out class. Nicks are playing. Look at Kelsey. I feel like there's going to be a lot of New Yorkers who spend.

$10,000, not more at this game tonight. They're going to go home very upset. On the suite. What's a sweet money, Tom? I want to know how much money is right now on the NBA finals. What is this, Rob? 200. Are you kidding me?

That's my point. Holy. How much money? Just on Kalshi, 280 million. Yauza. 280 million. So if you put, Rob, go a little bit more. If you put a buck on Spurs, what do you win?

78 cents. But, no, no, no, no. You win a, no, you put a buck on Spurs. You win more than 78 cents, Tom. That's saying, go on Spurs, Rob, click on it. And then just maybe go there and put a dollar, put dollar amount one. How much you win? Five.

Yeah, you win five. That's to win the series, though. So if you're advising, if you're advising Trump, your inner circle. Yeah. He says, Patrick, I'm going to go to the game tonight. Do you want to go? What do you tell him? He's going to go.

But what would you tell him? Would you say, don't go, sir? It's not worth it. I would wait to go game four after the Knicks lose tonight. Good point. If the Knicks lose tonight, go to the next game. Okay. Don't go on a 12 game win.

There is nothing. You know what it is. Never ever follow a king who's been winning nonstop. There is no winning to it. Never follow it because they're on a how many game win streak? 13. Show up after they lose a game. Show up after they lose a game or show up to the game one.

There's no upside to it. They're not going to be like, you're the reason we won. Yeah. Anyway, go Spurs tonight, guys. With that being said, hot cakes, hot takes. You ready? Vinny, who's your guess on hot cakes, hot take? Byron Donald's, we're premiering it at 1130.

So all you guys, Rob was going to put the link in it. Can I also, Pat, tomorrow night at 7.30. Me and the great Rob Gargulow and my boy, Jack Asadurian, are performing at the improv, Fort Lauderdale Improv at 730. Oh, that's Jack. That's funny. Oh, he's Armenian, Lebanese, Armenian. That's him. Yeah.

He is so funny. So tomorrow night? Tomorrow night, 7.30. All right. All right, sounds good. Okay, guys. Take care. We'll do it again.

Rob. Anything tomorrow? Is it just Wednesday? Wednesday. Okay, we'll see you guys. God bless. Take care. Bye-bye.
