We're live, Tom. Podcasts, episode 408, and we're sitting here talking about who's the greatest third baseman of all time.

Anyways, okay, so let's go through some of the stories that we got here to cover. Kind of a few weird things going on. President Biden says during 2020 when Trump was president he says inflation was what? 9% is what he claims, right? 9% and he's been able to lower it and he blasts Americans claiming Americans have the money to spend but they're not and some people are pissed off about that. Barron Trump apparently wants to step into political arena as Florida delegate at Republican Convention again. That's NBC News Green moves to oust speaker Johnson, but the audience starts booing Newsweek interesting title is the economy as bad as Americans think what do you think?

Do you think the economy as bad as you know? as Americans think. What do you think? Do you think the economy is bad as it is today that some people talk about? Red state is crowned best in US for education. Wait till you see which state is crowned the best state for education. We'll share that with you here in a minute. Next, Stormy Daniels tells jury about the sexual truce with Trump at hush money trial and the you know Adam and Vinny are excited to talk about this one. I mean this is a very very interesting stuff that was shared.

Adams, this is not our Adams, Eric Adams says New York City is ready if Trump is jailed is what he says. By the way, the Hill five twist that could shake up the election before November. XCNN reporter mocked over comments about MAGA, closet MAGA fans, wait to see what video resurfaced from years ago of hers canoeing through hardcore weather conditions. She'll show, Rob will show it to you. TikToks, who's the US government, argues banned violates free speech. Can you imagine a company that owns TikTok in the US that's founded in a country that

doesn't have freedom of speech, but telling them to sue the country that they're in for freedom of speech? How weird of a situation is that? These guys got some brass. You got to give them credit for it. Christine Ong calls off the Disaster's Book Tour canceling hits on Fox News, CNN, Last Minute. We'll talk about that because she keeps getting asked the same exact question that she doesn't

want to answer. Joe Biden calls illegal aliens model citizens while promoting amnesty and meanwhile newly arrived illegal immigrant kidnaps 11-year-old girl and rapes her. We'll talk about that. Joe Reed suggests Putin purposely target a Brittany Griner because she's a black queer celebrity. Can you imagine like to go that far with that? Federal Reserve Chairman says migration boosts mortgage rates but at the same time the president says, federal reserve president says, rate cuts may not come in 2024.

Tom, that's pretty heavy right there for some people. Renters fear they'll never own a home and Americans are raking up phantom debt in ways they never have before. I want to start off with this federal reserve story here. So federal reserve president says rate cuts may not come in 2024, page 9. Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari, Persian guy apparently, suggests interest rates may remain steady throughout 2024, stating, I would need to see multiple positive inflation readings suggesting that this disinflation process is on track.

Kashkadi, anticipating a potential shift in labor market dynamics, indicates that a marked decrease in job creation could warrant an interest rate cut. He previously anticipated two rate cuts in 2024, but may revise this depending on upcoming data despite recent inflation reduction slowing and signs of a possible re-acceleration, Kashkari aligns with Fed Chair Jerome Powell in signaling reluctance towards further rate hikes. He emphasizes the need for evidence of declining inflation before considering rate cuts, asserting there is a limit when we say, okay, we need to do more.

Tom, thoughts on the story? Well, Neel Kashkari, who is saying cash expensive with rates gonna stay up, he's normally, you like the way I did that? Yeah. He's normally been a moderate, level-headed voice. And so to hear him coming out saying, I'm not sure, what he's really saying here in the spin room, is I'm not sure we were gonna go with one rate cut because, here's what happened yesterday,

and here's why he said it, CPI leaked yesterday. CPI is not supposed to be out to the 15th consumer price index, and it looks like it's gonna come out at 3.8, 3.9, which means inflation's edging, edging, edging, closer to 4% and away from the 2%. So they saw that, and I feel like this is him floating to the markets to let them know, hey, pay attention to your mirrors, statistics that are out there in CPI are not looking like they're getting better, and we need to see the labor market move,

so don't automatically think there's going to be cuts. Now, why is he saying this? Because if you absolutely say there's no cuts the stock market is going to move 2% that day. That what will happen right now because they're counting... 2% if somebody says that. If they came out today and said okay forget about September because remember everybody's angling saying hey one rate cut this year probably at the September mid-September meeting of the Fed and they're pricing that in. In other words, the markets are looking for that.

Because even a small cut in rates on billions and billions and billions of dollars of corporate debt is a lot of EBITDA and a lot of stock value that you get back. And so I think they're trying to soften the blow with consumer price data having leaked yesterday that we're going to see next week. It's probably 3.7, 3.8.

So we're closer to 4 than we are to two, which really you know you know says that the economy is leveling and and struggling to get to the better they want and it's staying leveled that just okay. So okay so let's let's go a little further with this. So if there's if this guy's saying that and Jerome is saying that and then you have a story coming out with President Biden that, again, this goes with rate cuts. He says, claims that 9%, Biden claims inflation was 9% when he came into office, when it was actually 1.4%.

This is a New York Post Rob, I don't know if you have the video or not. Is there a video of him saying that? If you can play this video, watch this clip here folks. Okay, go ahead and play this. No president has had the run we've had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9 percent when I came to office. 9 percent. He says that without even flinching.

Now here's, so 9 percent when he came into office. Let me read the full story. President, in a rare interview, dismissed concerns over inflation potentially affecting his reelection, claiming Americans have multiple, have ample funds to spend despite rising prices, stating they have the money to spend, right? That's the same story with New York Post. Despite acknowledging of, acknowledgement of inflation reality and impact on consumers' confidence, Biden attributed to the issue to greedy corporations.

So he's blaming the corporations, defending his administration's handling of the economy amidst growing criticism and negative poll ratings. Biden's defiance against inflation worries contrast with public sentiment and polling data with concerns bounding over economic management. So here's where I'm going with this, Tom. When did they change the way they measure inflation? In what respect what do you think you remember when they used to do it? They used to do it every the way they measured inflation was every two years and then they change it to Measuring inflation every 12 months. I don't know if you remember that. Do you remember that?

It was like, yep, maybe two years ago. Let me let me let me pull this up. So just a very Changing way you measure inflation from 24 months to 12 months. Remember we covered it here on the podcast, a year ago. So here's what I want to ask. Rob, can you show if we have that or not? Brandon, if you have that, if you can text that over about, what do you call it? The fact that they change it from 24 months to 12 months.

So here's the thing. Here's the thing with that. When they change it from 24 months to 12 months, what was the reasoning for it? What was the reasoning for it? The reasoning for it is some claim that going from 24 to 12 months actually showed the rates were lower. And people would say if we were shown the 24-month rate, inflation is actually such and such.

It was always higher than what they reported, right? And the U.S. government had a number that were reporting for inflation versus what it actually was. So what is the likelihood, and I know this is a crazy question I'm asking about him, what is the likelihood that Biden is saying 9% because maybe it was 9% on the way they measure that works against Trump, but saying it's lower now on the measurement that works in favor of Biden? I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. So it's kind of like saying, well, in this category,

the way these guys calculate on the golf score of these three categories, that is the old way of doing it. Yes, it was 9.1%, but for us, I'm gonna measure it on this one that's a little bit more friendly to me. We're only at 3.9%. Do you think that's what Biden did, or do you think he was just delusional lying? First of all, if I think about the man, I think he was probably mistaken.

However, you bring up a great point. It has been the great game of politics to find the number you like the way you like to measure it and find somebody, some think tank, some department of the government, oh, the Treasury Department says this, but the Department of Agriculture said this. How can you be talking about crops? If the agriculture number I like, and then, oh, the agriculture's gonna favor themselves, I'm going with the treasury department.

There's always been this game on find the number you like, and then use that and beat up the other guy. But in this case, I think Biden is just plain mistaken. I think he's absolutely mistaken. Like maybe he looked at his own reports that showed that when we had peak inflation in 2022, it was nine, ladies and gentlemen. When you put the entire basket of goods in the total impact on the American consumer, it was nine. And matter of fact, some say that was even worse. But they say, well, we're

not including energy or we're not including energy. we're including energy again the parlor game here uh... in this case biden was just mistaken because i mean this is a guy that's reading teleprompters and getting mistaken last two weeks and he doesn't do well just to be objective not picking on him and not being bombastic he hasn't done well in sort of analytical type interviews going back and forth and i think in this case, he's just mistaken. Yeah, I mean, he was very analytical in this interview,

Rob, if you want to play it. My theology professor at the Catholic school I went to was a guy named Riley, last name. And he had been drafted by the Green Bay Packers. That's pretty analytical. I don't know what you're saying, Tom. When you disrespect the president, you better watch yourself.

I'll take it one step further. I watched that and it reminds me that we're only one set of stairs from an even worse president. Yeah, what do you mean by that? We're only one set of stairs from an even worse president. No question about it. But no, Adam, what do you think about it? When you think about these, the inflation,

9% what he said, this was that today? Exactly. Let me just give you some numbers. Yeah, you bring a great point about going back two years versus one year. So inflation peaked at 9% in June of 2022. Here's the chart right here. So we go to June of 22. At that point, Biden had been president since what? January 20th, 2021. That's when he took office. So that is a year and five months, six months after he took office had peaked. It hit 5% June of 2021. So six months into him taking office, boom, it went up. So the question is, how much lag time from all the money printing that was done under Trump and Biden? So here's what Biden could have done and should have done better.

And actually what worked. So we all remember in March of 2020, Trump passed the cares act. How much money was it? $2.2 trillion of printing money. So whether that was necessary, whether that was a good decision, whether that was a bad decision, go ahead and argue it. Boom, cares act. So obviously Biden wins the election, he comes in, but he decides to do what?

Print more money. So where does the inflation culprit lie on? Is it Trump printing the 2.2? And how much money, how much trillions of dollars did Biden print after he got elected? I would argue that he shouldn't have done anything. He printed way too much money. What was the stat? 40% of all the money supply in the history of America was printed since 2020. Inflation, but I will give him credit 30 month period. Yep. I will give got buying credit because it peaked inflation peaked in June of 22. A month after that two months of that August of 2022. What was that? What did Biden pass?

The inflation reduction act. So it actually worked. So go back to that to that chart. So since he passed it right then inflation has come down. So is he guilty of doing the money printing in 2021? Yes. But is he also I guess deserve some accolades for the inflation reduction act? The reality is this both sides printed a hell of money and took on more debt for the economy. But we'll see what happens with the economy. If I may, the cares act was passed

and what to me went into effect on March 27 2020. Biden had been elected and it was nearly 60 days later that they were debating whether to change it. And he could as president. He had executive order power. He had the ability to go back with Congress. It was favorable to him. And he could have, there were things that could have, could have happened later. And they talked about the extension and they talked about where it went. The election wouldn't happen until November.

You know, you have March to November. But one of the first things that he got up and did was extended it and actually printed more So you can talk about that but you can talk about the Inflation Reduction Act the Inflation Reduction Act. That's a misnomer That's not what it did Powell raised rates radically. Yeah, that's what got after inflation So it wasn't like two presidents that had the two knobs that perfectly controlled everything, Adam. Yes, March 27th cares started, but it was barely one year old when Biden and them were debating it and they extended it. So they didn't go back and say, bad Trump, bad Trump, we have to do this. They actually extended it and then Powell raised rates radically.

Powell deserves the credit, no doubt when it comes to inflation and interest rates. I'm not saying Trump was innocent on this, I'm just saying let's make sure we look at all the knobs that would be in turn. Just to be clear, the Inflation Reduction Act actually didn't have much to do with inflation at all. For what I recall, it had to do with energy and chip production and the CHIPS Act. There was a lot of sort of stuff that was stuffed it like you're contradicting yourself though No, no. Yeah, if you're saying it's Because of the inflation reduction area act is the reason why it was inflation Let me say this I heard you say the inflation reduction act is the reason why he could take some credit because of that

It's how inflation came down and then I you're saying the inflation reduction act actually had nothing to do with inflation. It had to do with chips So which one is it? Is it is it Powell? Is it the inflation reduction act? Which one is it that caused inflation to to lower and tamper? It's both is what I'm saying Oh, so you're saying this no one gets all or none of the blame. So what part of inflation reduction area Lord inflation? What part of the inflation act lowered the inflation yes go to the act what was in there But I'm asking you you're saying that Lord you're asking me to find out what exactly happened in 2022 I'm showing you the numbers if you look at the data. This is look at this is not bro. I'm saying to you You just said the inflation reductionary act caused inflation

to tamper and go lower. Then you're saying the inflation reductionary act actually had nothing to do with inflation, it had to do with chips. So if it didn't have to do anything with inflation reduction, it had to do with right there, look at this here. According to nine partisan congressman, the law that will raise seven hundred thirty eight billion dollars tax reform prescription drug reform to lower prices and authorize eight hundred and ninety one total billion dollars in spending including seven hundred and eighty three on energy and climate change and three years of affordable care subsidies these are all taxes the

law represents the largest investment into climate change in US history yet it's called inflationary reductionary act this thing had nothing to do with reducing inflation so I know we want you know you your angle you're taking is this is what reduced it I think the part where you're always consistent, what do you always say? You always say the most powerful man, what do you call it about the? America's Jerome Powell.

Jerome Powell, right? And he's got one of the toughest jobs. Correct. Why? Because both sides hate him, right? What are the chances if Trump gets elected that Powell gets fired? 100%, he already said that he named three candidates. You're joining Vinny, I like you Vinny. You're kind of converting this guy to start saying

100% so he said 100%. Because I'm not going on just sheer piss and vinegar in the motion, Trump has literally said here are the three candidates. I don't recall Fed chairman who are elected office. And by the way we can roll the tape. I didn't say the inflation reduction act was the region inflation come down. I said in June of 2022 Yeah inflation peaked after inflation reduction act. It looked it went down show the chart Rob do your job, buddy But what I'll tell you is this Oh Rob, get your ass together Rob! Rob, 9.1, the ghost of Herman Cain, 9.9. Wait this, if you don't like what Adam just said to Rob, Rob just got 30 Mannequist the other day.

Mannequist with Rob and give him some love because Rob does a great job here and we love him. That's Mannequist QR code. Rob Gargou, yo, on the podcast. But go ahead, you were saying. That's not Vivek, he's not on the left. Exactly. Rob's on the right. Rob is the white guy with the beard. Wow. But go ahead, you were saying. That's not Vivek, he's not on the left. Rob's on the right.

Rob is the white guy with the beard. Rob is the white guy with the long front-line. I really liked the share. I'm simply making one point, which I know you will agree with PBD, just because it was called the Inflation Reduction Act doesn't mean that was the only thing that was in the act. We saw the $95 billion border bill that had nothing to do with the border. We're saying the same thing.

I'm trying to save your voice, bro. All I'm saying to you is... This is me now, Pat. Are you sure it's 100%? Yes. So what I'm saying to you is, you gave credit to Inflation Reductionary Act and what I'm saying to you is it had nothing to do with inflation'm saying is it had nothing to do with inflation because you said it had nothing to do with inflation and we looked it up.

I don't want to fight with my boss but just as much as. I didn't think we were fighting. We know your boss is your wife she allows you to leave the house for the podcast and then you have to go back to the nursing home. We know. She swings golf clubs, insults her you have to go back to the nursing home We know she swings clubs and salt water again, but just like you're grilling me for or Vinny for using a hundred I'm also gonna say you're saying the word nothing the inflation induction did have something to do You know what that a hundred or not asking you what I'm saying a good percentage say that that call it 20%

Whatever person is a thing you was how? How let's read the okay run? on the We just looked at it. It just said 783 billion dollars went to energy and climate change Hang on that there's something in there that actually did reduce... Inflation is increase of prices, right? And we know, historically, that the Affordable Care Act, 30 months after it was in place,

resulted in a 20% year one increase in people's health insurance coverage. Remember that? Yeah. It did. And by the end of the second year, people's health insurance coverage, you ran a company, you saw it, increased 30% in price, right? So Obama's Affordable Care Act actually increased the cost of health insurance coverage for American workers getting it from their

employers. But watch, guess what it also did? The Inflation Reduction Act had three years of Affordable Care Act subsidies which were meant to reduce the cost of health insurance that your previous boss Obama had increased with the Affordable Care Act. So I guess part of the Inflation Reduction Act did try to correct some inflation that was caused by the boss. By the way, I'm not making this up. Just read it.

I totally get it. All I want to do is I want to make sure we look at this thing here to see how fantastic this inflationary reductionary act was according to Adam. But go back to that website. Okay, so go to the link that Brandon sent us. If you can go to the actual website, which is the BLS. Okay, so check this out, folks. Remember how I told you they changed the way they measured inflation? So here's an article from what website?

Can you see the website? Okay, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Okay, Commissioner's Corner, look at the date, January 10th, 2023. This is roughly, put it 16 months ago, 17 months ago, okay? Read the first words. Rob, go ahead. Every year on February 14th, there's a celebration of love. This February, BLS will celebrate an improvement on consumer price index, which we hope you will love. Now watch this. Look at the way they're explaining it. Beginning January 2023 index scheduled for publication on February 14th, Valentine's Day, BLS, having nothing to do with BLM. BLM is something else. This is BLS. This is the Bureau of Labor Statistics plans to update the spending weight in the calculation of the CPI every year instead of every two years spending of every year instead of every two years. They changed the

calculation of inflation to favor them at this time because it would have been worse being reported on what it really was than what they were selling. So it made the American people calmer, but the real inflation was like 30, 40, 50 percent higher, give or take. Okay? And a part of this was because China's economy slowed down and Biden drained the strategic petroleum reserve. that's all kind of hand in hand together. But anyways, going back to asking the question about him, and he turns around and he says, Americans have the money to spend, they're not spending. This leads to the next story, and this is a question for you guys, if you're listening

to this. Is the economy as bad as Americans think? Is the economy as bad as Americans think? Despite experts asserting the U.S. economy's relative strength with Colorado State University Stephen Weiler highlighting its complexity, stating, the combination of economic indicators is confusing even for economists. A Redfield and Wilton strategist poll reveals strategies, a poll reveals 50% of Americans believing the economy is headed in the wrong direction with 42% reporting a worsen financial situation in the past year.

Folks, 50% are saying we're going the wrong direction, 42% are saying it's worse this year than it was last year. That's pretty scary right there, okay? And this is Newsweek. This ain't Fox News. This is not Breitbart. This is Newsweek talking. John Van Renen from the London School of Economics links the pessimism to lingering inflation effects post-pandemic, emphasizing prices are coming down but the increase is still fresh in people's memories. Notably, 59% of respondents in the same poll deemed the economy the most critical issue,

signaling the significance in the upcoming election. Economically, while inflation persists, March saw a stronger than expected 3.5% rise, contributing to public unease. However, the labor market remains resilient, with March witnessing 303,000 job increase and unemployment dripping to 3.8%. So the question becomes, Tom, when you hear something like this, is the economy as bad as Americans think? What matters more, showing data to make an argument and spin to say the economy is better than you guys think or what the consumer actually feels? Here come the carrots making their way upfield,

followed by the whole wheat bread, over to the two dozen eggs. Sir, do you do this every time? Sorry, I've been a little excited ever since I got this BMO Toronto FC Cashback Mastercard. Oh, and the broccoli boots it over the line. What a goal! How would you like to pay, sir? Credit, please.

Well this is interesting. Harris Poll ran a Harris Poll, they ran a poll around something we'll talk about later,

by now pay later, but there were some things that came out as a result of that polling. When the Americans are saying, there was a follow-up question, Vinny, what's the number one thing to you in the economy? Well, in the election, well, I got immigration and the economy. Why do you say economy? Because the economy is bad. Well, why do you say it's bad? Because I can't afford things and I'm pinched.

That is what the consumer means. When the consumer says the economy, Pat, what they're saying, the polling data show, they're saying my economy, my wallet, my household. That's what they're saying my economy my wallet my household That's what they're saying and the three things that they point to is that there's been a cumulative effect of inflation But they don't say it that way they say I go to the grocery store and I look back three years Yeah, it's 20% more that hasn't gone down. Maybe eggs milk oil gas energy some commodities have come down Thank goodness, they get some relief, but the overall basket of goods is 20% up since March of 2020 to January 2024 if you ran the common inflation calculators 20% number one number two

Wage growth is behind inflation Number three The labor stats that are touted in the headlines aren't matching what people are feeling because full-time jobs are going away and more people than ever have second jobs including cash-only side hustles or 1099 side hustles that are not showing up in job reports. So Americans are saying the economy is bad. They're saying my economy is bad, my wallet.

Yep. Whereas... That's what matters, by the way. That's right. Whereas the mainstream media gets its talking points from the White House. Tell them inflation is coming down. Tell them we blew out the jobs report. Tell them those stock market's up. And by the way, when asked, they all do say, thank goodness my IRA 401K, Pat, the average

American gives you credit. The last time I checked my IRA 401k were okay so if they have a 401k with work or an IRA with the common indexes and stuff they've given credit for that saying well thank God the market didn't crash I saw my retirement balance but my economy in my household is worse that's what they mean Adam well look you kind of did what I typically do which is more personal finance perspective I'm gonna do what you typically do and give a more of a macro perspective. I'll say this. Bidenomics has not helped the American people.

Bidenomics was supposed to be a bottom-up, from the middle out, economic stimulus package to help the economy. It hasn't really done much. Trump was more of a top-down, down economics, Reagan as type of tax cut, which you've talked about, which you parlayed into raises to people in your company, which has worked well. But what's my point? Actually just check the numbers.

We talked about 40% of all money printing was done since 2020. But I actually need to update my stats because it's actually closer to 80% I think it's close to like almost 19 trillion dollars is circulating in the economy. What's my point? Biden hasn't done shit to help the American people watch your land. Whoa, okay guys. Whoa, I live too much. Sorry guys I'm gonna cut that make it my favorite ringtone. There it is But let's be like, you know know we're so quick to be binary here and one side good one side bad yeah if he did this then he's the good he's he's good he's evil but the reality is if you look for the gray the truth is

typically somewhere in the middle of sometimes funny and serious if you're gonna put a plug in for truth social just say it there get to the point like we're well I know that you guys don't like talking bad about Trump, but here's the deal. Watch it. Here's the deal. There's a lot of good things you could say about Trump. Immigration, the border, anti wokeness.

What I'll tell you straight up is Trump is no fiscal conservative. He printed as much money as any president ever until Biden showed up. He's like, hold my beer, my print more. So everything that we're feeling now is not just a Bidenomics thing. Some of the blame must go to Trump. How comfortable are you the fact that Trump printed $2.2 trillion in 2020?

See the difference here is when you say stuff like that and in the middle of the podcast, friends text and say, hey, say this and say that and say this and say that and it's like the cruise What do you call it? Like if you work for Fox or CNN someone's telling in your ear produce this The produce tell him that and we don't have that because we don't have that here, but we have friends that text, right? So you should tell him this you should tell him this Difference is I don't want to print any money whether your name is Trump or Biden until we start

paying off some of our money. I'm about firing people that don't need a government job that should go make it in the free market which is super hard. The free market is challenging. We have probably 50% of government employees right now that are working for different agencies that we can fire and tell them, go work for a regular job. Not talking military, I'm not talking certain cops that we need more security for, and the last thing we need to do is firing cops. We need to actually ask cops to please keep your job and recruit more cops to keep their

jobs. Every time I see a cop that's out there, I used to only do with military servicemen. Now if I see a cop, I stop and I say, do you realize how important your job is? I want to say thank you to you because your job matters. Thank you for putting your life on the line. I'm grateful for you. They need to hear it as well, not just them. But we can fire 50% of them.

We figure out a way to make it work. Sometimes, Adam, when you run in a company and we've had to make some tough decisions as you know as the CEO multiple companies that I've run sometimes I need to make a tough decision and the tough decision sucks It's never fun when you're making a tough decision It's just not and you got to fire somebody and when you have to fire somebody That feeling when you fire somebody in the back of your mind you as a CEO process it from a few different places You probably like this person because you spend some time with them to your probably

You know care about their career and you want to make sure they have something to do and then three you also know there's gonna be Back firing because people gonna talk and defamation and behind closed doors and spinning up the stories And you know really as a CEO you can't tell the whole story you especially can't because everyone's watching to see what you do after the way you fire somebody because they're worried about how you're gonna fire them one day and they need to be able to feel protected there right? Am I being fired? No not at all. If we would have fired you would have been four years ago three years ago when everybody started saying what you said. Sorry guys. The point is this the point is the government agencies don't believe they can run without the

50% of the people that they have I'm convinced they can fire half of the people that are working for these government agencies and within three six twelve months everybody would move on they'd have to give jobs they'd be forced to realize the way your attitude is matters because government employees sometimes don't have the best attitude. The way you treat people matters. The way you service people matters. All that stuff matters.

So yeah, I am fully with you on spending money left, right, center, no matter what you are. I want to stop spending money. Let's get our finances in order, okay? When you're running a company and your marketing department or somebody else comes in and says, hey, let's put $3 million into this. Hey, let's put $2 million into this. I said, until you can tell me how we can sell those items, like even a basic thing that we have upstairs, we need $55,000 worth of new computers and we can sell the other computers for $27,000.

Really? Yeah. Place the order the day you get $27,000 of selling those computers. Oh, but that could take six weeks. I don't give a shit. You sell the computers, you can buy the computers. But you know how the government rolls? Forget about selling it, buy it anyways. And who's paying for that? We're paying for that. That way of spending money, there is no accountability in there, and you're right. And I don't think it's a left thing. I think it's a left-right-center thing.

I fully agree. And it's because when you're not the one that's actually paying for it when Congress is like pain sure yeah trillion dollars That's right trillion dollars here. Yeah raise the taxes raise There's no accountability. That's right both sides. This is why they called the Unaparte. No, I agree. Okay. Let's go to the next So I mean I've been I know you're dying to say something here, but I just run out of time I ran out of time Yeah, Vincent. Yup. 100%, 100%. Let me go to this next one.

This next one you may actually have an opinion on. You ready? Thank you. Okay. Federal Reserve Chairman. No, no, no. I'm sick and tired of him. Wait for it.

I'm just tired of him. Wait for it. Listen to what he says. Here it is, Vincent. You ready for this? Seriously. Says migration boosts mortgage rates yeah let me read this to you yeah let me read this to you this is this is an actual so so let's go

through this Rob while the long-run effect of increased immigration on inflation is unclear immigrants nonetheless need a place to live and their arrival in the US has likely also increased demand for housing. What percentage of illegal immigrants coming here, you think are coming here with $300,000 to put a down payment on a house? I want you to think about this, okay? What percentage of illegal immigrants are coming here with a hundred thousand plus cash? Less than one percent.

Cash? Cash. Well, I mean, unless they're working with the cartels and the cartels are doing it. What do you think? One percent. What do you think? Can you even Google this? I'm actually curious.

What is the average net worth of an illegal immigrant that comes across the border? I'm going to say basically a hundred bucks in their pocket and they had to give the rest to a coyote. That's what I relate to. We came here with nothing. And the people that do have the money will go find a way to actually pay for their citizenship. They'll come here legally, that's right. I've got 500 grand, invest in a business. You know I was in Panama and I'm in Panama we're playing poker at, I don't know, we're at Hard Rock in Panama. And I'm playing, there's all these guys, I'm like, so what do you do? I'm from Dallas.

No shit, yeah, what do you do? I'm from Chicago. What do you do? I'm a senator. You're a senator. Yeah. And where? In Panama.

Get out of here, yes. So I'm like, teach me why Panama's unemployment is 2%. At the time it was 2%. Why are so many people coming to Panama? He says, you know you can buy your citizenship here with $300,000. I said, what do you mean? He says, if you put $300,000 in Panama, in a business or a property, you automatically get your citizenship.

No way. Yeah. What does that mean? People who go to Panama go with money. People who go to Dubai go to Dubai with money. People who go to Singapore go to Dubai with money. People who go to Singapore, go to Singapore with money. Illegal immigrants that come to America don't come to America with money, or else they have better choices, better options in their lives.

And this guy's saying that they're going to fix and help with the increased demand for housing. It says, Neil Kashkari, same guy by the way, he's not Persian, he's Indian, he's from Ohio I believe. President of Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis said on May 7, in turn, he said mortgage rates are nudged upwards with higher interest rates, saying perhaps a neutral interest rate for the housing market is higher than before the pandemic. Kashgari is a member of the Federal Reserve, which is now raising interest rates to reduce

unpopular inflation caused by the federal government's deficit spending. Tom? So this is Neil, who's normally pretty balanced, as I said, cash car or cash expensive, as I like to say, because he's usually a rate-increased guy. I think what he's talking about here, if I had to read between the lines here a little bit, I'm not an apologist for him, I don't know this guy, but I think what he's talking about here if I had to read between the lines here a little bit I'm not an apologist for him. I don't know this guy, but I think what he's saying is These people are gonna need apartments and so developers are gonna need loans to go

Get the apartments and right now we've got the limited Limited demand and she you would imagine that banks would be Decreasing the rate a little bit because there's fewer people looking for a construction loan You know what I mean Pat? Yeah, and if you're people are looking for a loan and me if you're looking for a loan say hey, I'm gonna build You know 50 apartments in this one building in Minneapolis And you go to Vinnie Bank and Tom Bank if we don't have a lot of applications on our desk I'm more likely to give you maybe a quarter point better so I could win the business from Vinny.

And if there's 10 of you in here, then I'm not going to lower the rate at all because there's plenty of demand for the money I'm trying to loan. So I would think it would be a little upside down. So I actually disagreed with Kashkari on this, that if you've got limited number of homes being built or limited number of homes being built or limited number of apartments being built, and that's what I'm gonna assume here, this is multifamily housing that's being built,

then I don't think that's gonna keep the rates up. I think that would, if anything, cause a developer to be able to get a little tiny bit better deal. Now, it can't be a screaming good deal because the Fed rate is in there and the spread right now is 1.7. So it's going to be hard for him to get a deal better than about 7%, 7.25 right now. So I think he was trying to say something there and it came out like completely wrong and it sounds the logic was a little upside down.

But when you talk about bringing something in, because this is really quick, anybody coming over the border bringing money, why would you need to? If you just go to New York, you get a prepaid credit card that gets refilled every month, and you get a free cell phone, they're kicking out veterans out of their dwellings to make room for illegals, they're taking over schools, and now, because there's that new trend, you can just squat in a house and it's your house. Why would you want to come with one dollar I'd come in here You know that story when parents are always like, you know, we came to this country with two dollars in my pocket Everybody always has that story. My family came here. They had no pocket. They were just naked

But yeah, what we're gonna say well shout out to your family. I'd love to see you. They love it They came here naked and that's how they who does this affect the most? Socio-economically poor people are getting screwed by the immigrants. Weird. Like the rich people aren't like, oh my god, they're taking my jobs. No, I'm good. We're good. Pat's good.

Pat's not losing his job to Hector. They just showed up. Or they're coming from China, or they're coming from Syria, or they're coming from El Salvador, or they're coming from every country around the world because it's not just South America we've highlighted that but what happens is this is simply supply and demand how many illegals or migrants or as the Biden administration calls them newcomers hey y'all come on in have come in since the Biden administration 5 million 10 million what's the number oh The number that's being reported is roughly 8.5,

8.8 million. Some are saying it's 15 million, but let's just say 8 to 15 million. Let's just do basic economics here. What are the two principles of economics? Supply and demand. Is there more supply in America now? Meaning humans? There's apparently 8 to 10 million more. Now these people we just established don't have money. If you could, sure. Keep going on me. Even if it's 5 million, whatever it is, there's more people in America since this open border ridiculous Biden policy. Cool. Follow me now. Those people we've just established that maybe

1% of them if that are showing up with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those people, we've just established that maybe 1% of them, if that, are showing up with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those people are buying businesses. There's a protocol for that. We don't know that. But 99% of them are basically have no money, have no wages, and they need a work, and they're getting STEMI checks or handouts or debit cards. They need places to live, free apartments, free hotels. They're knocking on people's doors.

Yo, I'm taking over now. How many times have we highlighted the squatting situation in New York? So it's affecting the poor people. Socio-economically, they're losing jobs to these people. They're losing money to these people. They're losing opportunities to these people. That's why they're pissed. Did you see what just happened in Chicago?

You see Biden was just in Chicago and they had two black women, one with a MAGA hat on, who basically was like, yo, Chicago's going red now. We can't take this anymore. They're prioritizing immigrants over citizens. And it's not even a black thing or a Latin thing or a white thing. It's a socioeconomic thing. They're taking jobs and opportunities and housing in this specific case from the disadvantaged, the disenfranchised, and the poor people. Was this also they lost their school auditorium and their gymnasium so their kids lost school programs? That's part of the story.

They put a bunch of cots in there and these women were upset because their own kids were getting less services at their school because they turned the gym into an apartment. Correct. At the end of the day you're like what the hell are we doing here? They're prioritizing Immigrants or migrants or illegal aliens which apparently is illegal to say Over actual citizens of America. Yeah, that's why people are so let me let me ask you Rob If you can go to what I just sent you if you can go to what I just sent you Washington Examiner says the number is 10 million. Okay illegal border crossing total over 10 million since Biden inauguration. If you can just pull that up and show this before Adam gets upset at you. So illegal border crosses totals over 10 million

since Biden inauguration. Go a little lower Rob if you could. Zoom in a little bit. On one of the slides it shows actually the numbers. Go lower, go a little lower where it says no not too much, you went went too much you just all of a sudden went all the way down yeah it's like I said 2.7 million 3.2 million by each year go a little higher I think that's the one right there right there official US Customs and Border Protection data includes 3.2 million apprehensions in 2023 2.766 in 2022, 1.956 in 2021, and 471 in 2020. This guy went from 471 to 1.95 to 2.766 to 3.2 million. Record breaking numbers, right? And they can sit there and try to do the spin job

as much as they want. This is catastrophic, absolutely catastrophic. The challenge that it's gonna be on how are you gonna deport all these guys. Guy sends me a question on my neck saying here's what I think the way to do it and all these different trucks and da da da da da and here's how many things, here's how much the cost gonna be, here's how much. This going to be a very, very complicated project to get these guys. So you're not going to just go to them and say, okay, you got to leave. Okay, I will leave. You have to arrest, find the, it's going to be the hardest thing to do for the next president

to deport these guys. And guess what? If it's Trump, it can't happen because the first person that they grab PBD, especially if it's a young kid, they're gonna take a photo of it and they're gonna just blast Trump just like they did with that fake video with that guy and the horse and they're like, they're whipping them. I'm sorry, this is what you guys wanted. You wanted this open border.

Now it's, by the way, no turning back. Speaking of Manek, the guy Manek told me, he goes, Vinny, they can't do that. I forgot his name and I apologize. He said, now what you have to do, the mission of the Republicans is, how do you make those people that are going to be stuck here, 18 million, 8 million, whatever, how are you going to make them vote Republican? What's going to be your pitch to change them? Like, hey listen, we know that this guy let you come in, but we're going to do X, Y, and

Z that's going to make your life better. That's what you're gonna have to do. So, you know, obviously this is gonna be, and by the way, you know what the difference is? What's the great thing when you're, the next thing's gonna be a one-term president, you're on your second term. What's the great thing? How do you treat criticism on your second term?

You don't give a shit. You don't worry about it. You're in, you're leaving. There's no reelection. There's no, you've got a midterm election for Congress, but you don't have to worry about the rest You can do what you think is right. Yeah on your second term. You don't really care What's gonna happen? So even if he has to do that, he's not gonna be coming from a place of

You know what's gonna happen to me? Anyways, okay. Let's go to the next story here. All right So next story we have let me see which one I want to go to do we want to go to Stormy Daniels? Let's go to Stormy Daniels. So Stormy Daniels tells jury about sexual tricks with Trump at hush money trial. Let's kind of go through this here. Stormy Daniels provided explicit testimony about her alleged sexual encounter with Donald Trump during a celebrity golf tournament, vividly describing finding him in silk pajamas and feeling disoriented upon seeing him Mr. Trump had come into the bedroom and was on the bed basically between myself and the exit Daniels recounted his discomfort and concerns

About the protection during the encounter stating I was trying to think about Anything other than what was happening there? Despite feeling blackout stop it's Do you she emphasized that Trump did not threaten to force her Throughout her testimony Daniels detailed her motivation for coming forward and subsequent hush money payment She received to remain silent maintaining that her primary concern was fear and not financial gain My motivation wasn't money. It was to get the story out. Okay, so here's the question When when there are stories of men that take advantage of girls, okay?

But here's the thing, were you forced into the hotel room? No. Did you choose to go into the hotel room? Yes. Let me ask you a question. If you're a woman going into a hotel room with a married man or a man period and the door closes what do you think you're going into the hotel room for to do play soduco what do you want hey I just want to play backgammon with you can we do that no no let's play chess you be the queen I be the king go your first move traditional right what do you what do you think you're doing yeah if you're going in there you're not gonna say I went in

there and when you took out the Sudoku box I passed that I blacked out come on bro I mean this is just some of the stuff so what's your thoughts with the story here really I just listen I could I read Tom's making me laugh just about looking at his face I read I read into this whole story yeah and apparently what at one point she said my clothes and and shoes are off, I think I still had my bra on and we were in the missionary position. The lady asked or the lawyer asked, was he wearing a condom? No. Was it brief? Yes. And guess what? Good for you Donald Trump. Time is money. You don't become a billionaire by laying in bed with a porn star. You gotta

get in, you gotta get out, you gotta close the deal and go make that money. You think he's gonna sit there and lay around in a hotel room? No, he has a building to build. He has a business to freaking an empire. Get out of there. And to all the people that do are, that are brief, I salute you. I'm the same boat. According to your argument, the best people in bed are those who get paid minimum wage Who's about who is it was the best guy you ever with this frickin McDonald's drive-through was so, your thoughts on the story. What do you think about the story?

You know, I just didn't... It's just salacious testimony that's going back and forth, and I didn't care to read it. I mean, this whole, you know, prosecution and judicial activism, you know, and I feel like MAGA should stand for, you know, make attorney generals adm for, you know, make attorney generals admirable.

You know, maybe we need legal reform in that Rob. Yeah. Adam, what are your thoughts on this? You seem like you want to go here. Well, the big question is whatever happened here, is it a jailable offense? Nope. So let's go down the rabbit hole. But you guys seem to totally be cool with him banging a porn star. Let's don't worry about that

Don't worry about that Vinny. What um, what's this was ten years before his presidency? I don't give a shit who he bangs who cares I don't care what he does now. Yeah, good for him. I'm talking about where were you when I was president Bill Wait a minute. I actually I mean I could see real weird shit right now Yeah, I actually think that the Oval Office let anybody in there under the desk do what they got to do Let's keep the president happy and on the track. Yeah, okay. All good. But let's let's or if it lets Let's let's get some facts here. Yeah, is she a porn star slash? Prostitute sex worker? Yes or no? Yes. Okay. By her own admission. She's a porn actress. I wouldn't say star. It's not like, you know, she's an

all full of fame. And I think she even used the word career. Like Vinnie follows all the hall of famers. She's not Jenna Jameson. She was a career sex worker. A defensive player of the year. A picture of Stormian that did they actually meet well yeah of course they go happy okay did she go back to their his hotel room yeah exactly not the place to do cool like he said yeah you know he knew he knew what he was doing when she walked in the room okay did they actually have sex I don't know according to testimony, according to her, yes. Okay. Did he say yes or no? Because guess what? This is just all his word.

I would never. I don't know. Go ahead. So it's all right there. According to testimony, she described it as brief. Yes. And Trump told her quote unquote, it was great. Let's get together again, honey bunch. That's the quote. Yeah. The meeting. I don't care. No, I love it. Get out. Yeah, go while you're paying for the porn. So yeah, get out. I get it. Of all the things I'm mad about with Donald Trump, you actually like this one. I don't go for it, buddy. Don't care. Zero. That is not the reason I'm voting or not voting for Donald Trump. He said, she said he didn't use a condom and expressed no concern about Melania finding out. Should we talk about Melania finding out in a second?

Yes, we will. So did she actually have sex with Donald Trump? Likely yes. Like because if they didn't, this would be the biggest sham of all time. Okay. Then the question is, did he actually pay the $130, thousand dollars of money via Michael Cohen? That's a whole falsifying record. He's a liar.

That remains to be seen. Yeah. Now, what I will stand fast by is, is all this nonsense a jailable offense? Hell no. And we can talk about what Eric and Adam said about New York being ready. But here's my question for you. Because obviously, like I'm directing this towards Vinny You're voting for Trump. I'm more than likely voting for Trump to if I could do it

Maybe because of this situation. I would do it. I would go vote become trans and go vote as a woman Well, there are people that vote twice. They're called Democrats. Exactly. My dad But here's my question. He'd been dead for 10 years. This is also from 2006 Does anybody even give a shit about this? No, this is why it's so petty and so ridiculous, but What year did he marry Melania? I don't know. You're gonna tell us now 2005 Okay, what year was baron born? 2006 so he married Melania

2006 so he married Melania Baron was born she was pregnant had Baron two months later he's in a hotel room with Stormy allegedly do I care is that the reason I'm not voting for him not at all but I'm letting you know there's women out there namely Melania probably unhappy about this that are going to hear this and they're emotional. How could you cheat? Oh my God, women's rights, abortion. Oh my God. And that's the reason they can't vote for Trump amongst other things.

So does a dude like me care about this? Not in the least. But it's not about us. There's a lot of women out there, emotional women, Democrats, independents even, or conservative Republicans that can't see past things like this. And that's the problem. Well, I just, well, because you did the, you just said the math. What was it?

130? I'm trying to do the math. Like you guys are 130, 130 thousand dollars. It was brief. So what do you want to say? Minute? She made a hundred minutes. Could you imagine?

A hundred thousand. I mean, if it's brief, that's a hundred and thirty thousand dollars in You got to give her credit for that. Like how much is that an hour? If it's by the minute she's doing well, it's slightly above market for the horizontal Bob And Rob didn't she didn't she get in trouble by the way? This is hush money the hush money obviously didn't hush shit. This is this is supposed to be hushed Rob Can you find out what happened yet? She had to pay him this always these are always feel-good stories She had to pay him a hundred and twenty thousand dollars in legal fees so that one minute of Let's get down only cost some ten grand. I will say, you did bring up a good point. Thank you. The two words associated with this

case are hush and gag order. Hush and gag. By the way, if she had the opportunity to do this again, do you think she would do it again? A million times over. It's only reason mentioning her name. Donald Trump obviously probably feels bad about this. That something salacious like this, all rich ridiculous businessmen Traveling like this might have opportunities to do but under the circumstances I just don't know what she did shut her mouth and Republicans really want to win I think every single Republican other that's gonna vote for Trump God will vote for Trump and then literally we just all

Self-identify as somebody else and we vote again. That cannot work, Tom. I'm being dead serious. I'm somebody different. Princess? You know, here's what I think. Go. I'm sorry, I stole your word. Easy does it.

I'm an angry patriot. Go. Come out of my cave here and get upset. I think that the whole hypocrisy around this is that people don't understand that if you take a look at everybody in that courtroom, the lawyers, the judge, everybody in there, I'd like to know how many people in that courtroom have ever had an employee sign an NDA and leave because of a harassment or implied harassment or even an affair. It happens every day in corporate America. VPA marketing messes around somebody over here,

they sign an NDA, they get some money and they leave. And this happens all the time. Is it right? No. Are marriages impacted? Yes. Is it embarrassing to companies? Sure.

But this happens a lot. And the hypocrisy of Washington and New York and the Attorney General's office and the mayor's office is that we're ready for you at Rikers Island. Really? Really? You want to go to the mayor's office and all the people that have been in there and the NDAs? You know, I'm sorry to say it, but there was a few NDAs and some payments that came out of Andrew Cuomo's office. I'm sorry.'s public record this happens and to make one guy an example and you're trying to do this is an election year stunt So this is what Rob? This is Eric Adams talking about the jail in New York. Is that what this is going on? Right? Watch this

She is prepared for whatever comes on Rikers Island. I'm pretty sure she would be prepared to manage and deal with the situation. As you see what's happening with Harvey Weinstein. We have to adjust. You know, in this business, particularly around law enforcement, we have to adjust whatever comes our way. But, you know, we don't want to deal with a hypothetical, but they're professionals. They'll be ready. They'll be ready for what? What's he saying? They'll be ready for Trump. Way, but you know we don't want to deal with a hypothetical, but their professionals everybody

Okay ready for what what's he saying? They'll be ready for trot Trump if he ends up being convicted to go to Rikers I think about what we're saying here I think about what he just said I mean yeah finish your point and then I want to make a point on top of that with The tone of no time you were so polite to interject so just make your point. I'll make mine I'll just thank you for interjecting to tell me to finish my point. I'm just I'm just I'm just I'm just I'm killing it. Go ahead. Okay. I'm just exercising boss's privilege. So the um Basically, Eric Adams had a very balanced answer there and I'm not so here's what I'm not a fanboy

But he was giving a balanced answer saying we're ready for whatever whatever what may and if the judge wants to you know Say contempt and send him to Rikers We'll be ready at Rikers Island for a high-profile Person walking in there. That's what he was saying. He wasn't saying bad Trump. I hope he gets in here He said they're professionals in the organization. We'll be ready. I think that's all Eric Adams said okay. I can't believe that you're not Dismantling Eric Adams for this. I'll dismantle the two women on either side of him that are smirking. Exactly. Look at the women, and I'm just going to say it, two black women who are smiling, talking

about Donald Trump going to jail. Look, I get a lot of heat for not being a Trump sycophant, but I will defend the law. And here's a guy who's on trial for I think a sham ridiculous Stormy Daniels situation these women whether they're smiling about this have joy They're talking about taking Donald Trump the former president of the United States the leading candidate for president 2024 to Rikers Island Where the criminals what Alcatraz in San Francisco has Alcatraz New York has Rikers. This is so absurd to me, by the way He's getting fined a thousand dollars a day for violating a gag order This is where it becomes a ship Eric Adam should have the balls to say I'm making no comment about the president's trial

And I'm certainly not gonna make Metaphors or accusations or illusions of Rikers Island. It's ridiculous to me. So Here's the biggest question here. How the hell is Donald Trump gonna get a fair trial? By his peers in New York City number one Tell me one person who doesn't have a little bit of emotion towards Donald Trump Hey, can you be completely fair and unbiased about Donald Trump? No. Yes. Never heard of him get the fuck out of gonna get sorry That's a future statement. It's in so it's in process and he's not getting correct. Let's talk and then what's gonna happen Let's go down the rabbit hole cuz they're talking about Trump going to Rikers Island go to jail

What's actually gonna happen if Trump goes to jail? What are the Trump loyalists gonna do or even like-minded people gonna do January 6 will look like a like a walk in the park on that day. Well forget about that national polls have shown whenever they've taken these strong things that it moves about 0.5 to 0.6 of 1% every time they take these big steps and make big actions national polls move toward Trump Yeah, guaranteed him winning is if he goes to jail He was and goes to jail. It's done that that picture right there the mugshot. It's done and on top of that

The amount of stories books movies the way it's gonna be told 20 years from now 10 years from now 30 years when he's no longer here it's gonna be we'll be 70 years old saying there goes another Trump movie coming out. I would but if I was him I would market if he gets actually goes to jail have a reality show in there and call it orange is the new orange just have him in there being a boss yelling at people I don't bring it in gangs you guys gotta piece it up we got it I don't bring it in gangs. You guys got to piece it up. We got it I don't have a border. I don't have much Trump merch. Yeah, but I do have this one. Let me see it president Trump Matt Yes, okay. What a shirt when I was my Halloween costume, but this only helps Trump. That's ridiculous

You know the 80% of Trump supporters said they would support him Regardless of a conviction only 4% said they wouldn't support him and 16% said they would reconsider their vote meaning they're riding with Trump. Well I mean, anybody riding with him. And think about it, it's not a conviction of murder, they think it's a bogus case. So they're saying is if he's convicted of this bogus case, does that change you? And they're saying, of course not. Yeah, Adam, think about this.

And you for somebody that used to hate him. So now you never said, Hey, what'd you say? I said didn't like you didn't like Allegedly doing this podcast You never said you hate you never said hey, okay, and I take your word every time someone says that I correct them Okay, I love okay. So you just you didn't you didn't like him that much. It wasn't my it wasn't your guy Okay, but you you you it's clear right now Biden is not. Obviously, but that's, that's why I hate when people say unless you're two people's, but you, you, I'm being genuine. You can see though, obviously with your Adam, what you're like, what they've done to this

guy from 2016 to right now, if that's not the biggest election interference threat to democracy that you've ever seen like have you ever like You have to admit this what they've done to this freaking guy since before he even got in till right now. It's absolutely ridiculous That's not America. That's and no wonder why people are getting more behind them because they see it. Everybody's waking up everybody Adam Tomas I Agree Vinny. I think that's bingo I mean people are waking up Vinny's absolutely right and people are people are sick of the political system And now they're watching corruption as a miniseries and they're fed up

Vinny's right. Yeah, you're right. All right. Let's go to the next story here Cristina which what a week She's having a great week.

Watch how eloquently the guy gets to it. And then not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. The problem with politics today is that politicians aren't honest with the American people So if governor if you asked me a month ago, who's at the top of the list to run with Donald Trump? I would have said your name if you asked me that same question this morning I don't even think you're on the list really so my question for you Yes, really and it's because of things that this is no specks I claims that you met Kim Jong-un and then over the last week Z. I've been to the DMZ of entire What I said is that Kim Jong-un here's let me go over, I've been to the DMZ, I've been to the area. What I've said is that- Did you stare down Kim Jong-un?

Here's, let me, Governor, one second. I will give you an opportunity to respond. I just want to get this out there. So here's the quote from the book. You say that, I remember when I met North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, I'm sure he underestimated me having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants. Governor, that never happened, did it? What I've said in the book is that when i became aware of the content that we

had changed and that's the way that it is so i'd should i put that in a good in the book uh... and i'm not going to talk about my own you said it happened i'm not going to uh... talk about my conversations with world leaders i've been involved in policy for thirty years the most powerful thirty years i've been traveling the world talking to world leaders, and that

is a conversation that I'm not going to have in this book. Okay, great. Wait for it. I've answered that in interviews already. I've been very forthright, and I think that a typical politician wouldn't be that honest. As soon as it became to my attention, I asked for the content to be changed and it has been. Governor, I'm not asking you about the details of this alleged meeting unmasking if the meeting actually happened i don't think it did and i think if it did you'd be able to confirm for me that

yes it did and here's when it happened it happens a at such and such as a day i'm not going to be a lot of things that i'm not going to talk about your conversation you're gonna consider have to answer this question that's it and i don't think so because the average american citizen is more worried about the border They're more worried about what we see in a White House and a president so that since January has gone out there

He says you're gonna have to continue to answer this question, right? Okay, keep played rock you and then he says pushes him on what he says that he was in prison He's about to say this is this is a safe interview We're being good to you, you're on news back, you're on safe ground, you can't play this position, others are going to be tougher on you than me. I'm a supporter, and she still goes back to this part here. Go forward and give them a way that they can elect people who want to represent them.

Governor, that's a very good point, and I'm not deliberately trying to be adversarial. I just, Donald Trump winning in November is very important. I think that whoever he chooses to be his running mate, and again, I think at one point you were at the top of that list, but you're going to get questions a lot more difficult than that. Bingo. I agree. He's right.

This is Newsmax. You're in a safe county for her to go on, right? Rob, can you put the other one with, what's his name, Varney, that one of our guys said she lost it to the point where I had to comment and say there's nothing about her losing it, she's just being pushed, and she doesn't want to answer. Is this the one? How long is that, Rob? 53 seconds.

Okay, play, go for it. Still think that you are in line to be Trump's vice president. No, it's up to Donald Trump He's the only person who will decide this. Yes, he's the only person who will decide and I spoke Yes, I do speak to him. May I ask what he said to you about? Never tell I never tell anybody my personal conversations with the dog story come up conversation I talked to President Trump all the time about the dog about a lot of things and right now I tell you what he is being Persecuted she's good in a political hunt

which i didn't this court is still she knows how to know about how to have to use and how well he is doing to bring up a half and not from the word which prompted the interview is ridiculous which you were doing right now thing i don't think you need to stop it okay it is so talk about some real topics that americans care about for around time all well of course we are We do. Thank you for being with us That's what we're talking about to this day. Yeah, gotta know. Thanks for joining us We appreciate but you know, I wish I wish we could have had the camera on just for after this because you know

She was like, what are you doing? No, what are you doing? This is not about what are you doing? Stuart is not a jerk No, Stuart is a balanced guy. Neither was the other guy treated a friendly guy but it's gonna be awkward when the cameras got off you know it's gonna be awkward well I mean they're in there now there's no camera surprised I mean I'll stand up just you know make your make your give your position and state where you're at you know listen can you go to Dana White being asked about what happened New Year's Eve? Anyways, you don't need to find it because it will take you a minute.

You know what Dana said? He said, do you feel what do you have to say about what happened? He said, look, you guys can keep asking these questions. No one here is more embarrassed than me, and not because of you. He says, I have to answer this to my wife and kids. How hard do you think that is? You think I like that? You think they're going to get over it in the next week?

How long do you think that's going to take? I'm going to have to deal with this with them. You guys are easy. That's where I lose. And I want to win there. And then you know what happened to media? They went away. She just making it. So can I ask you a question? Put yourself in her shoes. The moment this broke, the moment it broke, you shot dogs, you said they were biting right you lied about the Kim Jong-un. What do you like? What's the first thing and like on the day of a white approach? What do you say as her Christie to shut them all up right then and there?

Well, this is this is this is different. The reason why this is different is because she did the audio Recording. Yeah, so if you said it was a mistake, you're not gonna do the audio recording for the audible of the book. It's your voice. So you say, listen guys, I messed up, I lied, I'm done, let's get over it. Well, you have two choices here. You have two choices here. One, you avoid it at all cost and your career as a VP is done, okay? Then the other part is you man up and you say, yeah, you know what? I didn't have face-to-face, but I did go over there and you know, that never happened and I want to move on and you know, it was a fudge,

a mistake that I made. Guess what? Then in that position, you're not going to be VP now, but you still have a political career later on. But the way she's taking it, she's hurting her long-term career. This is the reason why Rogan is loved. Okay? So you saw, Como was on a podcast, right, on Tuesday. And Como was training again yesterday. And you know what the clip

a lot of people showed yesterday? They showed the clip of Como and can you pull up that clip Rob if you got it? And mind you, Chris says, never apologize. Remember that? I know. Chris says, never apologize. I get that. But also, but you know, okay, but do you have the one that says

That has that and then what he says on the podcast because there's two of them. There's one that's match match There's one that he's at the top and another one's at the bottom or whatever it is Okay, play this one first play what he says with the Don Lemon on the other side. Okay, jack thing drugs or animals and horse and people telling them to Okay. Objecting drugs for animals and horse... And people telling them to. Oh my God. What person? You know, you talk about like, you know, cancel culture and who to shame.

Ivermectin? A dewormer? Really? They are shaming themselves. No one has to shame them. They're shaming themselves by doing that. No, they need to be shamed. They need to be called out and shamed, brother. Okay, so now watch the other one over here. I'll tell you something else that's gonna get you a lot of hits. I am taking a, what do they call it? Like a regular dose, you know, whatever.

They're trying to build up of ivermectin. Ivermectin was a boogeyman early on in COVID. You couldn't talk about it. That was wrong. We were given bad information about ivermectin was a boogeyman early on in COVID. You couldn't talk about it. That was wrong. We were given bad information about Ivermectin. The real question is why? Everyone's gonna say Joe Rogan was right. No, Joe Rogan was saying, yeah, he was right,

but that's not what matters. What matters is the entire clinical community knew that Ivermectin couldn't hurt you. They knew it, Patrick. Can you pause this knew it Patrick. Can you pause this? So okay, so you have a delicate situation like this, right? He's in a very delicate place. What kind of a place is he? How many years has he been on left-leaning media? How long? 20 years. 20 years. How long has he been part of the liberal left democratic community?

His whole life. His father is a three term governor that almost ran for president and some say he would have won. His brother is a two term democratic governor in the state of New York. Who married into the Kennedys. Who married into the Kennedys. And this is like a, this is one of the most powerful Democratic last names in yeah okay so what is he what is he in his mind because when you're when you're somebody that's been around this much everybody's giving you advice of course and you're getting advice from 50 different places when you're only on one side you're typically only getting

advice from who people that are on one side which is actually easier to process advice for sure did you understand what I said I don't know if this makes sense You're typically only getting advice from who? People that are on one side, which is actually easier to process advice. For sure. Did you understand what I just said? I don't know if this makes sense or not, because if I get nine calls, all the nine calls are saying what? The same thing. Of course.

But now if you're flirting with being in the middle, the people that you defended that message for, Ivermectin, you know, warmer this and now you're taking it. Your previous side is furious at you. Of course. How could you say this? How could you say that? I'm sure there's a lot of people that are not happy with some of the positions he's taking, right? But then if you're staying there and being like, well I'm not gonna give the other side what they want but I'm not also gonna kiss their ass, I'm my going to give the other side what they want, but I'm not also going to kiss their ass. I'm my own man.

You lose sometimes in this situation because you're kind of going through like, the problem with social media today is the good and the bad. What's the good and the bad? Bro, there's stuff I said 10 years ago on video that's there. There's stuff that right now, whatever you're saying, guess what? It's permanent. Yeah, check the camera. You gotta look good because this is gonna stay, right? Make sure you're looking good.

There's stuff that they're gonna look that's gonna be around forever, okay? My hair used to be bald, meaning not I used to be bald. And I prefer that cut. Until today, I want to go back to it. I know nobody wants me to do it, but trust me, I prefer that. Yeah, that's what I prefer that cut until today. I want to go back to it. I know nobody wants to trust me I prefer that yeah, that's my that's what I prefer. I prefer that yeah, then I prefer having there cuz it's easier boom boom I'm out right there was a picture posted I looked at look at the picture on the bottom right Rob click that one. Yeah that one right there's a funny

People were joking about Saying that I look like Obama that was Stop laughing. It's not funny I look like Obama. Stop laughing, it's not funny. But by the way, this is what people don't know. Go to the picture above with me and Tico. This is the story most people don't know about. I come home one day, Tico decides to grab the clipper and he cuts his hair accidentally

with a scissor. And then mom's like, babe, what do we do? I'm like, dude, are you freaking kidding me, Tico? So guess what I said? I said, don't worry about it. Let's together go get a cut. So I wouldn't got a haircut with him like this. We wouldn't got the haircut together so he didn't feel bad. Now look at this. He is furious that I took that picture with him. He can't be that upset because his daddy looks the same, right? There's going to be stuff that we've said the way we look, the way we

do, and that's not going to go away. That's permanent. It's the challenge with social media. There is no hiding. If you said it, you said it. That's why when you look at, you know, Joe's position. Remember when Joe apologized and everybody said you should have never apologized? Should have never apologized. Should have never apologized. You know the whole thing when the Planet of the Apes or whatever, some of the stuff that came back from 15 years ago? When Once the last time that's been brought up. No, I haven't hurt. I almost forgot why though Because he apologized and you move on depends on what you're apologizing about but but like yet you sure No, no, no, I'll never apologize no my bad, no, no, but but but it's it's it's

It's the internal battle that we all go through, guys. Like you went through it one time, right? I'm going to specify what it is, but you went through it one time. And you're like, you know what? You're right, I effed up. And then we talked about it and we moved on. There was a couple times you don't need to apologize.

It's just you and I talked about it and we had a conversation privately. No one publicly needs to hear because that was not something that we need to come out and make that statement. But I think sometimes when you're going through it, dude, this is so freakin heavy for the individual. Yeah, cuz you're going through it, right? You know, hey, you know you got this on something. Ah shit, you know say hey, you know

Valuetainment is turning into a clickbait. I'm so cute. You guys said she lost it You pull up that post from that somebody said you guys, and I start getting- About Kristi Noem. Kristi Noem. Go to Instagram, and it's like, you guys, Valuetainment lost it. She never lost it, and da da da da da. So go to the post, keep going down, keep going down. I hope it's here, you can make- okay, right there to the right. Okay, so watch this here.

Kristi Noem loses it on Fox's Over Dog question. You need to stop, right? Okay, so then I commented after looking at it, and looking at her, I'm not even sure she lost it. I think she handled herself well, but she was pushed, and she didn't want to answer the question, we'll get some of these wrong, but we'll work on improving, thanks for the feedback. That's great, that's awesome.

Yeah, but guess what? Yeah, you're right, we did, and I'm not gonna point out who it was, I'm the CEO, I take full responsibility, it's me, they're guys that work with me, I need to have a conversation with them to go and have the talk with them. But this situation, when you're going through this with Christy, I mean she has to decide. Listen, reality check.

You're out. And by the way, Trump supporters, MAGA, those of you who love her, okay, those of you who thought she did a great job during COVID, you ain't alone. It's millions of people that thought she crushed it. Millions. She did a phenomenal job in South Dakota. She was a leader. She was tough. But this situation here is marketing, optics. This is, if Trump chooses her as a VP, this will not go away. Okay? And for her to have chances of having this level of limelight of presidential VP level, she's going to have to go in and go in her backyard and work with the angered dogs and work on and all this

that you kind of read. The Michael Vick approach. But all I'm saying is, you know, there are certain things that you come out and you do that's marketing disastrous. This is one of them. I think I think it's done for her. I'll just give a quick feedback because we're talking about Christie especially the way she's handling it yeah but they got she's beautiful actually think she's

handling it pretty well well let's let's state the facts number one she's having the worst week ever yeah for potential VP yeah she went on to the safe media outlets what was it Fox Fox business was Stuart Pawnee and then she went on to was it Newsmax these are safe spaces Respect to the journalists for actually doing their job left or right? Hey, you said this we're gonna hold you accountable. Yeah, why'd you do this? What he should have said or we kind of did say he she said quote unquote, I'm not gonna have conversations I'm not gonna reveal what I what I said with conversations with world leaders. You didn't have the conversation with world leaders. You actually never met him. So you have to figure out how to own it, but also spin it and move on because she is right. Nobody cares about the Kim Jong-un thing.

The important thing is you don't get stuck in the mud and get mud trapped here. But you know, in sports, they say you want to hit your stride at the right place. Want to be ascending versus descending like the wild card team that basically was out of the playoffs and all of a sudden they win 10 in a row and make the playoffs are hitting their stride. She's the exact opposite of that. She was doing well all season. She's just lost seven out of her last eight and she's declining.

Now she's neck and neck with Mike Pence for the likelihood of being VP fly What's the likelihood that Trump is gonna have Mike Pence run it back one more time never zero? Sure, she's had a horrible week and she got literally caught. No, not literally. Sorry She got caught in a lie and with her pants down. So This is not something to go Google Christinaiano on pants down. He's just saying like, I know I'm not English. You got to be careful with people that English, their fifth language, you know, fifth language. He's just saying figurative speech for the Middle Eastern community watching this. Go ahead, Tom. You know, I think you look back. America is typically

is a forgiving country if they think that there's sentiment and authenticity. You know, Bill Clinton had been triumphantly re-elected and then looked into the camera, left a press conference with his finger in the air like that and said, I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky. And then he stormed out and then he had his press secretary and all of his proxies denying it and guess what? You know, Ken Starr said, okay, well, we'll just get a subpoena and we'll take a little blood here and we'll do the DNA on the dress. We'll take a look at the dress.

And guess what happened? He then goes before the American people and says this, indeed, I did have a relationship with Miss Zelensky that was not appropriate, period. In fact, it was wrong, period. I misled people period including comma even my wife I deeply regret that I am having to become quite an expert in the business of asking for forgiveness period he said it just like

that you break it all down you say guess what you went from denying it to admitting it he said it was wrong even my wife And I'm having to become an expert here And you know what part of America didn't forget it but by the end of his term the economy and everything else was Moving in the right direction and America, you know part of America kind of forgave that and moved on but Kristi Noem is yet to walk to the microphone and But Kristi Noem is yet to walk to the microphone and

Explain or apologize and every time she does one of these interviews Including going after the normally sedate Aging business reporter who's usually a very gentle straightforward guy Stuart Varney you go after him I mean she's gotta press the pause button and say That wrote that thumbnail was it you Tom? I'm really sorry. Please don't fire me But by the way, I think I think Tom the whole thing that you read from Bill Clinton He didn't have to read any of that He should have just looked into the camera to the other if you guys were at the Derby the way we handled this betting

We probably would have been betting on Kristi no matter Derby Oh there's 40 to 1 odds a hundred bucks gets you but you know nice $4,000 we certainly left behind some assistance for the people of Kentucky look at 25 to 1 I think I think Tom Scott is still holding Bill Merton read that in front of the American people right like he looked at the camera and apologized yeah all he didn't have to read any of that he should have just looked right in the camera and said have you guys seen my wife I had to do it I had to hook up with her Monica I needed her Hillary Hillary save me

you got me Buford in Alabama with a Budweiser, puts the can down and says, honey, get in here, look at this. For the first time in my life, I think Buzz and Clinton has a point. By the way, have you seen Hillary Clinton when she was younger? She was actually attractive when she was younger. Have you seen it? I know this is kind of... No.

Wait, wait. What kind of left-wing public outlet is this? Ridiculous. No, no, I'm telling you, she's actually... Listen, look at that. Good for you. She's actually listen. Look at that good for her She's actually not bad. You know, she looks good when she was young guys. Here's our new Here's our next campaign looks I don't pick on looks Hillary Clinton after position not that bad What did you say? I said looks or looks it's hard to pick on, you know. You say go after positions. Go after the kids watch this show time.

What do you mean position? Oh, Roman. That was political position. Okay, got it. That's what your mouth's guys. All right. So let's let's, uh, Tom, he had to do it. I don't know why you do this sometime when we're having a nice healthy conversation and

you too early for that. Yeah, seriously it is. Okay. All right. So let's go to the next story. Next story is T sues US government, argues banned violence for his speech. This is such a funny story.

This is such a funny story. I almost think they're trolling the US government, right? For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single name speech platform to a permanent nationwide ban. Representatives of TikTok wrote in the lawsuit and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than one billion people worldwide.

They also wrote the ban in an unprecedented violation of the First Amendment. By the way, this is a Valiantimian story written by the boys. So the suit further argues that speech should not be restricted on the grounds of national security and that the federal government must prove such a restriction is legitimated and warranted, but so far has not. It also called on Congress to provide proof that TikTok is a data security risk or that it possesses a threat to spread foreign propaganda. Finally, it argues that the ban violates the constitutional right to due process as provided

by the Fifth Amendment, characterizing the ban as the declaration of a crime without a judicial proceeding. Tom, thoughts on this? Well, you could take TikTok's name off the front of this and you could put Meta there if they had used this law to go after Instagram during the election. Right. Word for word, this would be right there. The only thing I disagree with here is there was due process.

Our government made a law, Congress voted yes, Senate voted yes, The president cited it. This is the only thing is throwing in there. Oh, yeah. Yeah also violates due process. If anything, this was elongated process. It took months of debate. This wasn't like, you know, we wasn't like we made something up. So I think what we have to look at here is it on one hand So I think what we have to look at here is it on one hand Incredibly ballsy a basically a foreign government to be suing our government because by proxy that's what's going on Number one, but number two this bill and we've talked about it on the podcast and I've been very clear

This bill is an anti free speech bill and there are congressmen that have said that and that part of what's in here is correct I Don't know I don't disagree but go ahead. Yeah. Well, it's quite simple. They're using our values against us and You know democracy is ugly and it's slow-moving, but there's nothing uglier than autocrats and communists so what they're doing is it's the V. What's your point? There's the V not me approach. You guys stand for free speech. So you guys are limiting free speech. Meanwhile, there's no free speech in China. Name me one American app that is allowed in China. the CCP via bite dance So the hypocrisy is palpable and it's ridiculous and what's the latest with the divesting?

I'm googling hypocrisy is palpable. You can feel it. You can taste Buddy thank you taste the rainbow and Take a sip buddy. Thank you. Taste the rainbow. Um, and meanwhile, who's using TikTok? It's the young people. We've seen Gen Z what's happening with this woke indoctrinated generation. We see them on college campuses. We see him turning gay. We understand that the trans is the new trend.

We understand that they're anti-American now. How much of that is TikTok to blame? How much of that is universities to blame? How much of that is universities to blame? How much of that is George Schor's and left-wing dark money to blame? I would say the number one thing by far is TikTok because what percentage of Gen Z is that universities, especially liberal universities, I don't know, 25%. Maybe that 90 plus percent are on TikTok and they're being indoctrinated to a different way of life This explains why Osama bin Laden is now a hero and Abraham Lincoln is a villain. Yeah, boom. There it is

Yeah, that's that's basically trying that bill is China going. How dare you stop us from spying brainwashing and corrupting and dividing your country How dare you we're China we could fly balloons. We could walk over the border with all these people How dare you not let us do all these things to destroy your country. How dare you exactly makes me think about like so many different things One it makes me think about let us prove to you why freedom of speech doesn't work. Okay. Here's one. We'll sue you Okay, what are you gonna do about it? Seriously, I mean actually go from the trolling side of we're gonna prove to you why this thing doesn't work number two We're gonna prove to you why this thing doesn't work number two We're gonna prove to you why you know we can you know divide your own country against you, okay? We're gonna get all the other social media companies on our side three. We're gonna. I mean the way they're doing this is

Brilliant you got to give them credit Balzy audacity brilliant, you know trying trying to expose leaks in their own argument in us great I love what's and the fact that that they're saying listen if you guys force us to sell we'll leave America. Don't worry about it We'll even leave America. They're trying to tell you we don't give a shit. You know why Tom? Here's the thing though if they're suing the US government for what they're suing right now, okay, no problem. What can the US government now ask for in discovery? What can the US government now ask for in discovery? Is there risk for ByteDance suing US government knowing that now the US government can come

back and ask for a bunch of different things in discovery and now you're going to be like, oh shit, we don't want to show that? Yeah, this is grandstanding. The US government in getting discovery is gonna ask for the kitchen sink so meaning I didn't even mean to say that cuz a month walked in with the kitchen sink but yeah they're gonna ask for the kitchen sink that's when you know you're such a good comedian that sometimes you can't fall back by and so good I don't even know it I'm that good but no no

let that sink in you kill me but but where I'm going with this is the following okay do you think the US government is sitting there saying, we are so glad you're suing us? We are so glad you're suing us. Awesome. Sue us. That's what we want because now we get to ask discovery. Do you think that's what they're thinking about?

On our side? Yeah. Oh, absolutely, because there have been not Not leaks but statements made by people who used to work for tik-tok that said hey, we knew we were sending Use user, you know logs logs is the activity by user We knew we were sending user logs in mass to to China We knew it and people have already made those statements all those people you think January 6 and the photo Identity of everybody was bad It's so easy to round up all these people that work for tick-tock United States and have them being called by their

Government to testify on what happened there. There's only one thing to do there. Yeah, that's what we were doing I'll tell you the date it happened to I The US government US Attorney's Office and this would be Southern District of New York, I imagine, is sitting there smirking saying, oh, you want to play this game? There's a part of me that thinks they're glad they got sued. At least if I'm them, I'm sitting there saying, awesome, you want to sue us? Perfect. Let's show the fact that you're linked to China. This is going to make our job even easier, especially to people that want this thing to be done. Now, the people that I think would be concerned that they're suing is the guys that don't want to talk to be banned

I don't know if this lawsuits help tick-tock. I Don't know if this lawsuit helps tick-tock this could end up backfiring on tick-tock Maybe this is their Hail Mary effort to basically keep it in the country. So, you know what they're doing You know what word this makes me think of what was the word of the year? Webster's word of the year 2022 Investigation gas lighting. Oh, they're gas lighting us. Come on guys thought you believe in free speech Don't worry about the spying and the malware and the national security thing. Come on guys because there's a difference between Aggressive and passive aggressive. So during the Cold War in the 60s

Russia was aggressive Straight up. Yo, we will nuclear bomb you straight up ready to go to war America like our parents Tom You probably remember a little of this Cold War. Okay. Thank you. They were literally gonna know they had missiles in Cuba There was an actual threat from all China Our passive aggressive they're not threatening us. They're like, what do you mean? Spyware, balloons, don't worry about it.

You know, sending fentanyl. But no, we're not doing anything. Buying land by military bases. Computers institutes. Yeah, buying. They're not aggressive like Russia was in the Cold War. They're passive aggressive. But China. They're passive aggressive, but China

They're dangerous. We know what you're doing, buddy. No, okay. So next Vinny you got a story by Milwaukee. What happened there? Yes, sir. So Rob has this Milwaukee Election Commission Commission executive director Claire Woodall was fired on Monday an unexpected shakeup in the most populous County in the battleground Wisconsin six months before an election day, which is really, really weird. Claire Woodall is leaving just two months after a grand jury found her former deputy, Kimberly Zapata, guilty of official misconduct and election fraud charges. Let that sink in, everybody. They're doing fraud in Wisconsin and having her obtain fake absentee ballots. Zapata had claimed she was trying to expose the vulnerabilities in Wisconsin's elections. She was saying, Tom, that she was

a whistleblower. She was sentenced last week to probation and a $3,000 fine. So this goes to Peter Berneger. He's like one of the biggest voices right now that's involved with this whole case. He's an independent investigative journalist and president of Election Watch, Inc. He has brought 18 lawsuits against election clerks and offices in the state court. He tweeted this yesterday, Rob, can you go to the tweet? He tweeted, Claire Woodall Vogue fired. She is, parentheses, was the most corrupt election clerk in Wisconsin. I took her sworn deposition in a lawsuit.

I filed against her as Milwaukee city election clerk. She printed, and listen to what he's saying, she printed 64,000 ballots in the back conference room of City Hall, room 501, for the November 3rd, 2020 election. She had city employees and other CTCL fill out some of those on the 4th, 6th, and other floors of City Hall. Then kicked out observers around 10 to 10 30 p.m. On November 3rd Then brought a large amount of ballots at 1 15 a.m. On November 4th. Okay now Tom If you go back to the letter that the email this is an email that he posted Can you zoom in Rob with yes, this is November 4th, 2020

Yes, and this is an email of Claire on election night, joking about delivering the margin needed to flip the state of Trump. 4am? Yes, well Tommy, Tommy, check this out. So this is an exchange, her coworker Ryan Chu from Election Group said to Claire, damn Claire, you have a flair for drama, delivering just the margin needed at 3am. I bet those votes counted at midnight and just wanted to keep the world waiting now if you go now Robbie go to that chart if

you guys compare this timestamp to the email exchange and take a look at the graph timeline Milwaukee had a 140,000 ballot dump around the same time which statistically favored Joe Biden and push him ahead that's right around that time if you see at the bottom that's six and and that's going back to four o'clock. So just so you guys know, the vote totals Biden was one million six hundred thirty thousand eight hundred sixty six. Also, it's important for you to hang on one second. Yeah. So if you're looking at Rob, stay on that. So what you're saying is the blue that's climbing with the red, the red

is Trump. Trump is ahead. Yeah. Blue is behind behind and boom at 4 a.m. That's hot. I think up is what caused him to win. It's spikes Yeah, it's spikes and now Was that my second part and this chart is from Edison research. So this is wow. Yeah, well everybody Everybody does remember that night. You don't remember that night. wants to sleep everybody's like yo Trump is gonna win and then boom That jumped up. So now the same guy The Berneger guy he and I have the drive you have the letters that I sent you this is Burning a little bit Rob if this is the one Vinnie. Yes, sir. This is a so this is Pete Berneger

This is him claiming this that this is a letter from Sheriff Darleaf, the honorable, he's sending this to Scott Perry, the dear congressman, he says, please be advised, Barry Sherry's office has an open investigation for several years related to the election law violations. My office recently reviewed the evidence related to this investigation that requires immediate review from congress, and this is what he says, I'm attaching documents directly from Dominion voting system that demonstrate lack of truthfulness and transparency when testifying before Congress in January 2020, following the January 20 hearings.

Congress specifically requested information from Dominion regarding the percentage of Chinese parts that are used in the Dominion brand election equipment. Dominion failed to enclose to Congress, to the motherboard in the election equipment is not only sourced from China, but it is tested in China. And you can go on to read that. Now the next one, Rob, is the Georgia one. Wait, can you zoom in there?

What else is in the letter? Zoom in a little bit more. I can read the Georgia one. Wait, can you zoom in there? What else is in the letter? Zoom in a little bit more. I can read the whole thing. The desire to zoom in on disinformation. Assistant Director of FBI, counter-revolutionary state of China's matter of fact, can be perfected. Additionally, testing and modifications are taking place in China. Dominion brand firmware from HP printer provided by Dominion to local clerks.

Dominion further failed to disclose to Congress that Dominion employee Andy Huang, formerly from the Chinese telecom, which is owned by the Chinese Communist Party, was given authority and access to reset the service on US election equipment remotely from Canada? As you know, the FCC issues orders to show cause on April 24, 2020, against China's telecom stating there is a deep concern as to the vulnerability to the exploitation, influence and control of the Chinese Communist Party given they are subsidiaries of Chinese state-owned entities. And the last page says, unfortunately, the national security concern continues.

Dominion failed to disclose the use of HUA phones utilized in the Serbian employees, the same Serbian employees remoting into the US election system during the US elections. Now, the second one, Robby, is that video from Georgia. Georgia State Elections Board held an important hearing two days ago. Fulton County double scanned ballots and they didn't keep the required ballot images as required by Georgia law. 380,000, 380,000, yeah, 80,000 ballot images are missing in Fulton County and this is this is them at the board. Go ahead Rob, play that. Does the investigation confirm that there are missing ballot images? Yes, missing. Weird. Do you know why 380,761 valid images from Election Day machine count are not available?

What? We subpoenaed Fulton County for all of their valid images. We received approximately 518,000 ballot images. From Election Day? Those are for the recount. Those are from the recount. We have no ballot images for 380,761 ballots from Election Day. Correct?

Rob, go to the audience and lower a little bit on that. What was subpoenaed was the ballot images for the recount because that's what this case was about, not the Election Day. This is... Does Fulton County know why there are not 380,761 ballot images from Election Day? She's asking the same question. Same again to somebody else. To somebody else, PBD.

As with the investigators, we have not been apprised of this allegation. This is the first I'm hearing about it. I have no idea what the basis of that allegation is. And so we would have to, we would have to, we can't answer that. We can't answer that. So no accountability. Would Fulton County agree that every vote should have a valid image? So MPP- Are you kidding?

This is when? This is two days ago. And mind you guys, and I'm going to say, again, this guy, Peter Barnegat, he has 18 lawsuits against them. They're literally claiming that the proof is in the paper ballots, but this is a way longer video and they're refusing to let anyone see. So the fact that that girl from, this is Wisconsin,

this is Georgia, these are all those key places and now it's 2024, all this stuff is coming to light. Is it too late? Is anything gonna happen, Tom? So let me ask, I'm gonna summarize and I wanna make sure that I understand what you just said. Georgia state law and the Georgia election board was there testing because they're supposed to have all the ballots that come through digital. They're supposed to be an

image of all those ballots. Sort of as a rather than having all the paper ballots sitting around they have digital emits of all votes count correct when they did the recount They suddenly can't find images for over three hundred thousand votes Yeah, votes. Yeah, so they can't validate the recount by going one-to-one image vote Biden image vote Trump back and forth They can't do that and the board is asking multiple questions and people are actually giving bad answers No, we don't have it with no explanation. Is that what I just saw? That's exactly what you just saw. So Georgia cannot validate with its own law requirement to have images of all those ballots.

They cannot validate the recount. You saw it right in front of you. They can only use the digital numbers. That's what he just said. Yeah, so that guy, no he's very funny. And it's unbelievable. I get it. But what I'm, this is, so what are your thoughts on this, Adam?

You're hearing this. I trust whatever Vinny found out. I don't need a fact check yet. Well, I don't need a counter argument. If you saw it, I believe it. Can I ask you a question? I'm actually not even being sarcastic. Like, I'm, I believe you did your research and I don't know this story.

I'm not going to comment on it. It's not something I followed. And I'm not going with my gut. If you've done your research, I trust and just there is one other point. But I think is in that Fulton County like Milwaukee was a late hour. That's Donald Trump said, I'm worried about this late night. By the way, guys, if every dollar bill has a serial number, every vote can have a freaking serial number on it. We need to know why does it take so many days? All these other countries, Pat, I forgot which one that you said,

there's like a 20 million something votes, they did it in one day. This whole late night, we go to sleep, we don't know what's happening. If we let this continue, guys, you're gonna keep waking up in the morning, and they're gonna say, whoops, Joe Biden, the most popular popular president in the world there's no there it always felt wrong to me and I felt wrong to a lot of people that I know that this guy got 81 million votes he's more popular than Barack Obama are you freaking kidding me and that's why I think it's frustrating and I mean this is my question to you Tom this is 2024 they're talking about this election is it what's gonna's gonna happen? Is anything gonna happen to this?

Election's right around the corner. Is this ongoing? Are they, because if this is the Georgia election board, they're gonna issue a decree and a finding. This is public. That's 100% public. That's reporters and citizens sitting in there. And did you see the girls, paper ballot please, Trump supporters.

Yeah, I saw the t-shirts of a bunch of people. There's Trump supporters in there fighting, and by the way, the director Claire Woodall, who was fired, her replacement is Paulina Gutierrez, this is her first time ever running an election. In Milwaukee. In Milwaukee! It's like, really? She's never run one? And you're just going, hey, good for her. This is a key state for the election, and you're just letting somebody that's never done it? Like would you have, God forbid you were sick, would you let somebody that's never done a podcast come in here and lead your podcast? No! This is the

election! What are we talking about? Can I respond to one thing? Yeah. I'm gonna make a prediction. You ready? Yeah. The whole most popular president of all time, I can't believe it, 81 million votes, okay. Trump got 76 million votes. Yeah. Also a massive number. Yeah. Why was the vote count so high? Why was it? It's crazy. Maybe it had something to do with the level of interest of voters. So this election cycle, my prediction, neither of them are going to even get 70 million. What? Well, if there's a third party. They went from 80 to 70. How could you say that? Because what they do since 2000, they track voter enthusiasm and level of interest. Do you know, prior to 2020, what election had the most level of interest by Do you know prior to 2020 what election had the most level of interest

by the American public? The most? 2008 Barack Obama. People were like, oh my god, first black president. So I mean, I can show you the stats. I believe it. And they were duped. 2024, 2020, I think it was 77% level of it here it is right here Meaning there's a 13 percent predicted drop-off of interest meaning people Don't even want to go to the polls So that's a problem 2000 exactly. I think I think Americans 100 percent should vote But in 2008 the American public was so interested in Obama. What does this have to do with what he's saying?

Specifically he said he didn't believe that Biden got 80 million votes. How is he more popular than Barack Obama? These are two different, these are two different talks. I'm specifically talking about that. I'm not talking about the Georgia thing. I got you but these are two different topics. But voter interest has a lot to do with voter turnout. And that's why midterm elections, people don't vote.

Because they're like, dude, I don't give a shit about midterm. What does that have to do with what he's talking about? It has zero to do with his Georgia predictions. But it has everything to do with his comment about 80 million votes for the Biden president. It's not a prediction. What he's saying is that this lady's asking the question, where is the 380,000 images? And that lady is probably, can you pull up who that lady was? Her name?

Janice, I think Janice something, Robbie? Go Google her name. I actually want to know who appointed that judge. Go back at the beginning. Janice, Johnston? Janice, Johnston, board member, state election board. This is Georgia, full in common, Robbie. Janice Johnston. Janice Johnston, board member, state election board. This is Georgia, Fulton County, Robbie. Janice Johnston, okay, Janice Johnston.

And what county is it? What county is it? Fulton County. Okay, that's good. Go to it. Georgia State Election Board. Okay, let's see who this lady is. Georgia, I want to know her.

I'm interested in knowing who she is. What happens if you just type in Janice Johnston? What comes up? Don't even type anything else. So IMDB, she's not an actress, that's for sure. Type in judge, maybe type in judge. I saw the bio on the prior page. Did you?

Yeah. Judge. I don't think that's still, is she a judge of PBD? From left, election judge Janice checks in the first time now voter. This is Missouri though That's no no no so I want to know where she's from so This is this is this is what this means to me at least this is how I process it The same people That you couldn't talk about Ivermectin or you couldn't talk about you know anything else. Okay, so who appointed her?

March 2nd 2022 appointed by who but who gave the job? Can you see who appointed her? Publican boom that's in the county. She was appointed in 22. I know but who that's 22 is under Biden who yeah So it's under Biden that she's getting the job So, you know when you see when you see stuff like this that they're like you just have to say Do you believe the election was stolen? No, no, no, no you do you believe the election? He believes the election stole his own conversation over right like you couldn't even say it right I get in trouble say that you believe that okay

You get banned just so you know no one's saying this Vinny is not saying this that that's what happened With this case he's speculating. He's asking questions based on what the market is sharing with us in different counties, right? Yeah, okay fine But here's the question if now we know that this is what happened and they try to repeat this again Do not be surprised why a movie called Civil War just came out a month ago. I'm just telling you, because the level of rage and anger for certain people, you know how, you know, I'm talking to a guy and he says, what's the big deal, man? We're just moving on with COVID. I mean, what's the big deal?

It's just we got to move on. I mean, it's just it's not a story anymore. I said, no, no, no, no, no. I said, that's not how life works. I said, do you know the vaccine, how many marriages it divided? How many families it divided between siblings? Do you know how many jobs at a company people were divided, employer against employee? I said, do you know churches were divided?

They couldn't go to church. Do you realize a church couldn't have their congregation go to pray to God in certain places in California? Do you realize how many people this thing destroyed? Do you realize how many people will love their country were serving in the military? They're five years away from retirement decided to get out because they did not want to take the vaccine Do you realize how emotional this is to so many different people? This isn't just let's move on I'm not part of that camp

Accountability, you're the guy. I'm not part of that, accountability. Same with the election. If this, they go deeper and they find more stuff like this, the emails, if there's more discovery and they find stuff. Two things for me, like, you know, with, with say Trump wins the election, okay? What are some things he's going to do? Okay, I'm going to fix the border. Fine. All right. So you fix the borders. What kind of a fix is it temporary or permanent?

If he's gonna be serious, no, it's gonna be a temporary fix till they get the words a permanent fix a permanent fixes They'll like okay You build the wall you build the wall can somebody else still come down and change it to make it a temporary fix. Yes Yes, okay. So okay. I'm gonna deport the people that we have here. Is that a permanent it a temporary fix? Yes. Okay, so okay I'm gonna deport the people that we have here. Is that a permanent fix or temporary fix? If you kick them all out? Kick all of them out. Permanent. That's a temporary fix because somebody in eight years can come back and open it up again and have 15 million people come back. Well the president changes. Yeah, the president changes. Okay, so fixing the economy, is that a permanent

thing or a temporary thing? Temporary. It's a temporary thing. Okay, putting sanctions on China and Mexico because China's selling cars. Temporary thing. What is permanent is a few different things. One, how are we going to handle COVID next time around? Pandemic and force and vaccine. How is that going to be done? Number two, what is going to happen with elections moving forward that we can trust that games like this can't happen? And it's permanent, not temporary. I am interested in some permanent positive changes that gamification cannot reappear. I think if they investigate this while he's in and they find out some stuff and he brings some new bosses in

and they go deep into it and they find some stuff. They got four years to do it. I'd like to see some permanent changes being made that we can finally sit there and say I don't need to worry about what's gonna happen with the election in 2028 or 32 or 36 or 40 or any of this stuff. That's what I'm interested in. So I'm glad they're doing this investigation. I hope they go a little bit deeper so we can learn more. And just because, Tom, we talked about this before, this about the frustration and the anger that I'm having. If you guys really break it down, it's election interfering,

aka cheating, from the beginning. And I get it, guys, with, you know, there's been, in the past, Tom, they, you know, Gore and Bush, there was always problems, right? People were questioning the election and all that stuff, correct? Yeah, it goes back to the dawn of time and the stories validated of how Mayor Daley manipulated Chicago. Election cheating has been as American as apple pie. Gotcha.

And suddenly we're supposed to believe nothing is going on and go away. And suddenly Georgia is having, remember, Pat was right. You couldn't say anything to the media You would be shouted down. How dare you say it? During covid right? Well, the same thing was happening when you're talking about certain states and asking To have in questions about election integrity. Can you prove it? Can you show me? And now georgia is having an ivermectin moment where they're coming back saying well, wait a minute here

If we're going to have a a recount why can't we count? Yeah, yeah, I want to know what I want to know what the vote count is without the 381 I want to know what the vote supposedly is with the 381 These numbers should be available for public inspection and I feel like we're having this Ivermectin and covid moment in Georgia Well, okay, you can ask questions now in public and not be shouted down Yeah in the middle of inquiry. You have every right to be upset, and I think the American people have every right to be upset and to say, wait a minute.

Yeah, and that's what I was going with. We're not just saying it was just this time, but if you think about it, from 2016, this is cheating. Hillary Clinton and the DNC got caught, slap on the wrist, they got fined what, $8,000 or $10,000 for starting the Russian fake collusion to try to get the president the sitting president out That's cheating number one. You'll docile the steel dossier number two the FBI Going to Twitter with God knows how many agents and trying to suppress stories for one side of the party That's cheating 51 intelligence agents signing off saying that a hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation

That's cheating from the FBI. And then now we keep hearing all this stuff with ballots this and ballots that. And I hate when people like Hillary Clinton, all these people right now, are like, how dare you talk about the election? How dare you talk about machines? There's a montage that I'll send to Rob later. The whole Democratic Party, including Hillary Clinton, was like, we can't trust any machine, any digital electronic machines. And I just saw a documentary called kill switch one of the first things that they say in the documentary is

Every single computer can be hacked period done deal. They put in back doors They put in stuff like that. So the the illusion of no where we can't it's only one side when it's up Is this it a pack? We just play the beginning of this play this listen Hillary back in the day stop using touchscreen computer voting because it's so vulnerable we need to look at all the voting machines every Secretary of State needs to be you know assisted in making sure that they are not being hacked and attacked I continue to think that our voting machines should be vulnerable for researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting systems are vulnerable. Researches have repeatedly demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting

systems are susceptible to tempering. Even hackers with limited prior knowledge, tools and resources are able to breach voting machines in a matter of minutes. In 2018, electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas deleted votes for certain candidates or switched votes from one candidate to another. The biggest seller of voting machines is doing something that violates Cybersecurity 101, directing that you install remote access software, which would make a machine like that, you know, a magnet for fraudsters and hackers.

Voting machines can be hacked quite easily. You could easily hack into them. It makes it seem like... Well, bother, bother. The list goes on and on, but's just it's so it's funny But it infuriates me that one day they were doing this and then when it came to 2020 they were like How dare you say it? So I'm just saying I hope the people are awake. I hope you guys are paying attention Let's see what happens gang

Rob we may have another podcast tomorrow Stay tuned and maybe a podcast. that's a niche podcast about a country right now that's going through some challenges but we'll let you know if it's gonna go live or not. And then everybody else if we don't have a great weekend we'll do this again next week. Take care everybody. Bye bye bye bye.
