Biden says he's regretting using the word illegal during the State of the Union, but not getting the name wrong using the word illegal during the state of the

Starting point is 00:02:05 Union but but not getting the name wrong but the illegal God forbid you know you say illegal instead of undocumented and as he I think it was written up it was an HR violation you had to go through which was very upsetting Bill Maher urges Biden to dump Kamala for Nikki Haley for unity which by the way kind of strategic but wait to see what he said about it the Pope says for Nikki Haley, for unity, which by the way, kind of strategic, but wait till you see what he said about it. The Pope says Ukraine should have courage of the white flag of negotiations.

Starting point is 00:02:33 The Pope is telling Ukraine to kick it and give up and give their land back to Russia. Is that really what the Pope is saying? And maybe the Pope is also saying to send some transgenders to war as well, who but anyway CNN panel pushes back against the guest who says rising crime is a rating thing And they lost their mind.

Do you remember that one company that made fun of that kid and they only showed picture from one angle because you had the black, they said he had black face, right? Black face. Well, those guys apparently went out of business and some companies start about a Europe or something bottom. That's a CNN story. And then we got, we got a couple of the stories we'll share with you. People who judge husband was out there doing some stuff with kids in doctrine and aiding

Starting point is 00:05:08 them that we'll get into that as well. But let's get right into the first one here with Trump and what happened this weekend at UFC, Donald Trump rocks UFC crowd goes wild. Foreign president Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for president, 2024 period at the UFC fight on Saturday night at cassay center Miami, Florida, where a sold out crowd went wild as he entered the stadium. As Trump walked in alongside Dana White, the event organizer gave him a walk in music and a crowd went insane. It says wild, but I want to say insane.

Starting point is 00:05:40 Trump reporters even noticed, noted that the crowd shouted USA and F. Joe Biden. Then when Trump appeared earlier in the day, Trump rallied with supporters in Georgia. So this guy, I'm with Dana on the back. We're in the back with Dana, with a bunch of different guys having great conversations. And Dana says, you won't believe who texted me last night at 2.30. I said, who? He says, Trump texts me at 2.30, saying, look, I'm in Georgia doing a rally. I'm going to try to make him. Okay. He says, Trump texts me at two 30 saying, look, I'm in Georgia doing a rally. I'm going to try to make it. Okay.

Starting point is 00:06:07 He says, then I get a text from him eight o'clock in the morning saying I'm still trying to make it because a rally is going to be in Atlanta. Then that day we're at the cigar lounge at the comedy club 5990 live guys in the bus are like, he's not going to be at the UFC tonight because he's still talking at six PM. He's still talking in Atlanta. So the team's like, you know, cause everybody's trying to see is this guy gonna come,

Starting point is 00:06:29 is that guy gonna come? Cause Joe Burrow and all these guys gonna be there. Anyways, you go to the fight, mixing, you know, 10 o'clock. All of a sudden the place goes wild, 1030, something like that. And you look up, yep, it's him. All the phones are on with the lights. He walks in, Rob, if you wanna just kinda show the entrance just for like 15 seconds. that and you look up yep it's him all the phones are on with the lights he walks and Rob if you want to just kind of show the entrance just for like 15 seconds well

Starting point is 00:06:51 it's well his tie was taller than me and just let me know his tie this is boss yeah his relationship with I love He's got happy Dana's. So he comes in. Look at this. Listen to this. Yeah, they're losing their minds. It's insane. And then Dana, this is how much of a class like Dana.

Starting point is 00:07:14 So we're at the event with 25 of us. Everybody's wearing, you know, VT this, VT that. Can you pause it real quick, Rob? Can you go to the video on Twitter without the music of what we did with the truck? If you can go to my Twitter account. And we got this flag guys. I had this idea.

Starting point is 00:07:32 I saw this guy with this truck, with a 30 foot flag on his car. I said, we have to get this flag. Anyways, our camp reaches out to him. This guy was nice enough to say, don't worry about getting a flag. How about take my flag? Wow.

Starting point is 00:07:44 Anyways, we work it out. This is Vinny, right? So we show up, look at it. How did you hire this male model? Dude, look at this hot male model. By the way, I almost fall right here. Your truck surfing, look at this. First of all, this isn't for a lot of though.

Starting point is 00:07:58 This is not a fight. Look at the size of the flag and the truck, right? And Vinny's on top on top of it. Anyways, we're at the UFC with Chris Cuomo and all these guys, Tika and we're in the back of a guy's. We've got to get this thing lined up. Sam's in the car. We pull over. I don't even know where we are to put the flag on. Sam just randomly pulled over goes right here guys by an apartment. We pull up in front of the UFC with the flag. The crew knew, the UFC knew, they had us a spot in the back. At the end when we're leaving, there's a thousand people

Starting point is 00:08:29 at Valley, they're seeing this flag screaming, USA, USA, USA. And then while we get into the arena, Rob, can you pull up that go lower on my profile if you can? So we go a little lower, right there, pull up the picture right there. This is us, we're sitting right in between Dana and Trump, literally the first seat in between and go lower on the video. And this is the handshake, the famous Trump handshake that he loves.

Starting point is 00:08:54 That's the back of my neck. That's Vinnie taking it. Go ahead. Well, wait. And I, how's your shoulder? Yo, by the way, I was pulled it out of the stock. Are you ready for this? And I told you yesterday, I figured out the Trump handshake method. What is it? Tell us. If you're my high, if you're like 5'8", or you're a female, he shakes and he gives

Starting point is 00:09:10 you a little nice, like you're cute. Like I'm cute. You're a female. I'm a female to him, right? Then if you get a little bit taller, like Pat, he'll, he'll bring you in and kind of let you know like, Hey, I'm tall too. But if you're bigger, like Nick Bosa, he does the arm shake and it slaps the shit out of you to let you know like Hey Nick Bosa. He is a Mammoth I've never Trump is there talking I was like this his neck muscle was bigger than my arm

Starting point is 00:09:38 He looks Joe Burrow. He looks like the Hulk coming back down. Yeah. Oh my god What's crazy that was the first time you've ever actually shook his hands. Yes like that. Yes, we've never had an interaction I've been to events, but I've never had an interaction with them. Well, it's crazy Yeah, I'll shut up the deal. He put us right behind literally right behind him and I must say Trump what when the fights are going He's watching every single moment focus and then how many times did he get up? He didn't say no to one person to shake his hand, and bro, just the energy of that place, he's the truth. Well, he looked at Cuomo and I were just a few feet over, he gave us one of these over here.

Starting point is 00:10:14 Oh, really? That's at least respect, at least, you know, he loves it. Shout out to him. It's on, baby, it's on, and the right people are finding each other, and this election's about to get real. It is important for America, it's important for capitalism, and it's about to get real it is important for America It's important for capitalism And it's about to get real and take a look at the energy at the UFC and look at the energy in those videos Pat from Georgia

Starting point is 00:10:32 And then take a look at the Biden pep rally in the small high school gymnasium in Georgia And tell me you don't have a flashback to 2016 when Hillary was doing picnic rallies in backyards. Let me say one thing about this and I want to go into the story that he has with TikTok and why he doesn't think we should ban TikTok. Do you know in the world of competition, there's a lot of different types of people you face that you're competing.

Starting point is 00:11:00 Interestingly so, if you're patient enough, it takes about 10 years to realize who real competition is. Because most people are going to come in, they'll fizzle out and they'll go. This guy competed for six months and he beat you. A year later, couldn't last, he quit, right? Two years, boom, they fizzle out. Three years, boom, they fizzle out. Five years, they fizzle out. There is nothing more intimidating, literally. There's nothing more intimidating. Four things I figured out, right? Outwork, out improve, out strategize, outlast.

Starting point is 00:11:29 Outwork, fine. Out improve, great. Out strategize comes with time. Outlast, nothing is more intimidating where you put the fear of death in your competition if you can outlast them. Nothing. Because your competition is sitting there saying,last them, nothing, because your competition is sitting there

Starting point is 00:11:46 saying, I mean, that guy's gonna slow down because there's no way he can go after this and this, and no one's, by the way, if anybody said, well, he's not gonna make it because he's given a talk in Atlanta. Nobody would have said anything. Nobody would have said anything. They're like, yeah, of course,

Starting point is 00:11:58 he's given a talk in Atlanta. I'm tired. But when you have someone that all of a sudden is able to be at five different places at the same time and show up, forget about guys, forget whether you like him or not. It's like McCain going up against Obama. You know, it could be anything. Obama was everywhere. Okay, campaigning.

Starting point is 00:12:17 Forget about whether you like the competitor or not, whether you agree with his policies or not. Try outlasting this man named Donald J. Trump. If you do, good for you. If you don't, he's going to beat you. And he's a very unique character because he was up there till two o'clock in the morning. You know when he left the arena? When the fight was done.

Starting point is 00:12:39 Yeah. Ivanka was sitting right there. Kushner. Kushner was right there. Their son was there for, Ivanka told me it was their sonner was right there. Their son was there for Ivanka. Told me it was his, their son's first fight ever. And it was, it was interesting. That whole dynamic Rogan, Sear, Cormier, John, but a very, very unique experience. It was great. But if you've never been to UFC, we're planning on taking next year. I wouldn't be surprised

Starting point is 00:13:00 if we took a hundred people. I told Dana, I said, then I may take a hundred next year. And yeah, but great. Got to give a shout out to our guy, Dustin Poirier. Oh my God. Amazing. Yeah. So Sugar Sean. Sean O'Malley was, it was title card.

Starting point is 00:13:13 One of the fight. That knee to the face, because we were there. I thought he broke like his skull. It was just, wow. And then, by the way, give it up to Vera. Vera's chin, he didn't. You know, it's a full on caveman. In the arena, it up to Vera Vera's chin he didn't you know long in the arena it sounded like something shatter no it sounded like

Starting point is 00:13:30 his face broke yeah you're like really no no just you hear the sound everybody thought his face yeah it was bad that uncomfortable sound that you heard but it was it was great and it was interesting in Miami. Do you hear the chance for the, I think he's from Ecuador? I want to say that they were going crazy. But most importantly, what did Dilly boy say about Joe Burrow? Oh my gosh. So let me tell you, man, Dilly doesn't even know because Joe Burrow comes up, he's standing right in front of me says, Oh shit, what's up? How you doing? I said, what's up, Joe? And we had a nice kind of, I said, Joe, not only are we the biggest

Starting point is 00:14:07 fans of yours, my son dresses like you. And by the way, for some people that, Rob, can you show this picture? Because we really, really like Joe. Joe is, because both of us talking to Trump and he's just standing there and looks at that pan goes, Hey, and they're having a comment. I go, photo, he goes,. Yeah. Put on his slick glasses. Rob. Let me send this to you. This is how much Dilly loves Joe That's his guy bro. Yeah, but listen, I mean the Dylan on Jersey day. This is what he works, Rob I just send it to you. So I messaged Joe. I said Joe was great seeing you and Brogan you mean no bro. I said it was great seeing you. I said, Joe was great seeing you. And, uh, no, bro, bro, I said, it was

Starting point is 00:14:46 great seeing you. I said, uh, this is how much, uh, people tell you they're fans, but this is a picture of Dylan dressed as you on Jersey day. And he says, I got to get him in the right Jersey. That's not the right Jersey for him to wear. Anyway, so Dylan has no clue what's going to happen. And Dylan doesn't listen to this podcast because he should be in school right now. Exactly. That's where he should be. Yeah, he's not driving. He's not driving. Look at this little stuff. Look at that little guy. Dude, this guy is just, yeah. He, and by the way, no one told him to get those glasses. Nothing. That's on him. By the way, he's been picking his clothes since he was a year and a half. Really?

Starting point is 00:15:18 Dylan's been picking his clothes since he was a year and a half. He gets it. Mr. Beast was there. Logan Paul, all these guys. It was a good event. Interesting dynamic. If you're listening, if you're like, Rob, can you do a quick poll? I actually really wonder how many people have not been to UFC Fight?

Starting point is 00:15:34 Just say, have you ever been to UFC Fight? Yes, no, that's it. I just want to know how many people have, how many people have not. If you've, Tom, it was your first ever fight. You've been to, when the Dodgers won when the home run the Steve I was at the Gibson home run. I have a ticket took my grandmother. I remember that stadium coming apart You've been to a lot of crazy events. Yep. How different was this as your first UFC fight? This is the loudest indoor

Starting point is 00:16:01 arena indoor arena event. Are you kidding me? Most people have probably not been to a UFC fight. Seriously, seriously, this was the loudest indoor arena event I have ever heard. But I haven't been... Tom, look at this. This is insane. 2,100 people just voted right now. 90% have never been to a fight.

Starting point is 00:16:18 I was gonna say 80, 20. Well, let me tell you. Let me tell you, here's what we're gonna do. Here's what we're gonna do. I don't even know what the next UFC fight is. Okay. I don't even know what the next UFC fight is. Okay? I don't even know what the next UFC fight is. I think it's UFC 300 and a half Vegas.

Starting point is 00:16:31 Can you tell Sam and Karina, whoever it is, to bring those three new hats. Sam knows what it is. The International Women's Day. Here's what we're gonna do, okay? Uh-oh. And I don't even know. I cannot, if you've never been, I wanna-

Anybody that places an order of, let's say, $50 or more, minimum one future looks bright hats, because I want a million people this year wearing this gear. There was so many people in the arena independently wearing the future looks bright gear, and it's so confusing for people who are pessimistic when they see somebody say the future looks bright

Starting point is 00:17:25 But this is what I'm gonna do anybody that places an order of You know $50 or more okay between now and Thursday, but specifically Anyone that places an order every for every $50 you place an order you get one ticket in the drawing and I'm gonna get I don't know.

Let's make sure and these aren't the site Rob. Can you show these things being on the site? You place the order of the hats

Starting point is 00:18:28 $50 or more for every $50 We're gonna do a drawing and on Thursday. I'm giving away four UFC tickets That's the one right the Navy blue and then some bill I don't know if I see the pink one on there So if you can make sure that gets on there as well, but that's what we're gonna do make sure you place your order Okay, it's a April 13th, Las Vegas. Perfect. There you go.

Starting point is 00:18:48 April 13th, Las Vegas. I'm gonna give away four tickets. If you've never been, what is the poll still, Rob? Can you go back to, I cannot believe 90- I am not shocked. 5,000 people voted, 91% have never been to a fight. I'd never been to a UFC fight until you took us last year. There's no way you can live life without going to a UFC fight. You have to go experience what Dana's put

Starting point is 00:19:08 together. It's absolutely insane. It's like a gladiator arena like a roam. I will say I will say this as loud as the entrance was for Trump this time around last year. I think was even crazier because it was completely unexpected remember that We had no idea that he was walking through the through the arena was Interrupted this year pretty similar, but last year when Mosfidal was fighting it was insane So okay, so let's go into the next so anyways that story is gonna be there You guys place your order 50 bucks or higher will do the raffle and we'll give away four tickets to UFC specifically for people haven't gone in. By the way, here's what I would say. The first hundred people that place an order, the first hundred people that place an order, I'll throw in a Future Looks Bright shirt in the package for the people that are placing

Starting point is 00:20:00 an order. The first hundred people that place an order, so it makes you go sport your gear, the Future Looks Bright. I just love when people look at us. Do you really think the future, the yesterday I put the comment, the future looks bright. Stephen A. Smith responds. Can you go and I texted him yesterday if you go to the post with me, Trump and Dana, go onto that Instagram. If you, if you ever go on the Instagram, Rob, if you go on Instagram, on Instagram, he responds, he says, not to me, meaning the future doesn't look bright to him. And I responded to him and I said something,

Starting point is 00:20:29 because I think a lot, right there, it says, not to me, I'll send a screenshot, if you go lower, you'll find him, right there. I said, the future looks bright, he says, not to me, we lose either way, no matter who wins. And I responded, I don't know if you're gonna be able to find it, but I responded and I said the following to him. I said,

Starting point is 00:20:49 I said, Stephen A, brother, that just means you need to spend more time around us. We'll get you believing in the future, being bright again. Much love. The future looks so bright in my opinion, but we gotta do our fight. So anyways, if you're somebody that's also optimistic, go support the gear, go to VTMerch.com,

Starting point is 00:21:07 buy some of the hats, the new gear, the pink, the navy blue one, let's show the world what we're all about. Let's confuse the audience to become positive again. Let's go on to the next story. All right, Trump says a TikTok band would empower Metta, slams Facebook as enemy of the state. Okay, he slams Facebook as being enemy of the state. Okay, he slams Facebook as being enemy

Starting point is 00:21:26 the state. Why is he saying this? This is a CNBC story. Without TikTok, you can make Facebook bigger and I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people. Trump said, acknowledging his concerns around national security and data privacy over TikTok, Trump said, there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad with the platform. There are a lot of people on TikTok that love it. There are a lot of young kids on TikTok who will go crazy without it. If China wants anything from TikTok, they will give it.

Starting point is 00:21:53 So that's a national security risk goes up, Trump acknowledged. But when I look at it, I'm not looking to make Facebook double the size. And if you ban TikTok, Facebook and others, mostly Facebook, will be a big beneficiary. And I think Facebook has been very busy. I think Facebook has been a very, very bad for our country, especially when it comes down to elections. Interesting Tom thoughts. Well, what's very interesting about this is in

Starting point is 00:22:19 the news. This all started. This all started last week when 50 members of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, remember they go into committees before they go on the, and all the congressmen vote, all 438 of them, all that number go and vote, 50 members U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce voted to bring to the floor ban TikTok in the following way. They must sell it to a U.S. company in 165 days or it must be removed from the app stores. So this is all 50 members. So this is not partisan.

Starting point is 00:22:57 There's Democrats and Republicans in these committees and they all came out and said, yeah, all 50 of us say 165 days days, sell the US company or ban it. And now it's going to come to the House floor vote, so watch that this week. So what that smells to me, not one person dissented, it feels like, you know, Metta is one of the biggest lobbyists in Washington, one of the biggest. And I feel like there is the Chinese ownership thing.

Starting point is 00:23:26 It's an election year and we got this anti-China sentiment, but it feels kind of political to me even though I agree that all the data that's going back to China and Tic Tac is really bad. Yeah, didn't Zuckerberg give to Biden 200 million? How much was it? Last the 2020 election. Stack of money. I think it was like 200 million. Rob, if you could check that, I'd appreciate it. But when it cut like this type of thing with Trump, I know everybody's like, oh, you're just a blind follower. No, I don't, I don't agree with the fact that, and I understand what Facebook is doing. And they're very, very biased and political, wanting to save TikTok for the benefit of being anything against Facebook. I don't agree with that.

Starting point is 00:24:07 Cause that's China owned, that's China, that's influencing the kids, that's brainwashing the children, that's doing all these TikTok challenges where they're what, drinking, Nikol and chicken and a kid just died recently. I don't agree with it at all. And I think it will empower them,

Starting point is 00:24:20 but everybody thought that Snapchat was gonna be empowered, but their stock didn't budge, went up like a point in the half and then Wow Yeah, the nonprofit that distributed most of the $350 million in donations from Facebook under from Founder Zuck elections for offices in 2020 said Monday that it won disperse similar donations similar What does that mean maybe 290 this year after a backlash from conservatives, suspicious that the contribute contributions tilted the outcome of the presidential

Starting point is 00:24:49 race towards Joe Biden. Instead, the center for technology, instead the center for technology, civic life is launching a different program dubbed the US Alliance for Election Excellence, the 80 million out of five year effort is intended to create. Okay, which means 80 millions going to Adam. What are your thoughts on this? Well, look, uh, this is concerning. And, uh, there's a lot of people saying that this is actually a selfish move by Trump. Steve Bannon actually being one of them. What do you mean you don't want to sell TikTok? He was the guy that brought this up. He was the guy that brought this up. Like to Trump's credit, he was the one in 2020 that made an executive order trying to get ByteDance

Starting point is 00:25:31 to sell TikTok out of the CCP control to possibly Oracle, possibly an American company. He was the guy. So now what has changed since then? Well, I mean, the obvious is he's calling Facebook the enemy of the state. Could it be that Metta banned him after January 6th? So it seems a little counterintuitive

Starting point is 00:25:55 why Donald Trump, who was the person that made this the focal point, made this the issue, has now reversed course. He did an executive order. It was blocked by the court. And I don't understand why he's doing this now. So there's people out there saying, well, he's only caring about himself. He's vindictivity selfish.

Starting point is 00:26:17 Steve Bannon being one of them. Steve Bannon suggested Donald Trump has been bought. What's going on with that? So Trump was absolutely right in 2020 to say that it's a national Steve Bannon suggested Donald Trump has been bought. What's going on with that? So Trump was absolutely right in 2020 to say that it's a national security concern. What did Bannon actually say? Rob, is there anything Bannon says? Like what are his words?

Starting point is 00:26:35 What is he saying when he's saying he's being bought? So now in Newsweek, while Bantam's, there's nothing about Steve Bannon here. So what is he saying? If we can get to his quote, if you get rid of the bottom, I think you got to look at this a little deeper and it doesn't, you don't have to go that deep. Trump is not saying I like Tik Tok. Trump is not saying I want to help Tik Tok. Trump said if China wants anything from Tik Tok, they Tik Tok are going to give it to them. So that's a national

Starting point is 00:27:05 security risk that goes up quote unquote Donald J. Trump. He acknowledged it. But if you ban TikTok, Facebook and others, mostly Facebook will be a beneficiary. And I think Facebook's been very busy trying to do this. And I think that's bad for our country. So what Trump is saying is TikTok is bad. They're giving stuff. If China wants anything from TikTok like data, that's bad. That's not security risk. But if you ban them, look what's going to happen to Metta and Facebook. So Trump is actually saying both, saying these guys are bad. We don't want data going to China. But remember, just like if you kill a dictator and you don't put a government in place, maybe we know something about that as the United States,

Starting point is 00:27:46 then something's gonna come in and fill the vacuum and that thing is gonna be Facebook and that's equally bad. I think Trump has a very measured statement here. I don't think he's supporting Tiktok. Everybody's spinning it like he's supporting Tiktok. He's not. I don't think he's supporting it, but this is a damn if you do, damn if you don't moment because if we're regardless of what happens, each one of them is going for against Trump. I mean, they're going against Trump. Tic-Tac is obviously anti-Trump because it's China and Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg and all of Silicon Valley, they hate him.

Starting point is 00:28:14 So what is he, there's nothing you could do. It's, to me, it's not about Trump. This is a national concern, national security security concern. I'm removing Trump from the equation. What's worse, China on the CCP or Facebook in America. Yes, we can go on to Facebook. You know, we saw that the, the Chinese CEO of Tik Tok, his name is, Oh yeah, I don't trust that guy. I don't trust that guy at all. He testified before Congress. He made up a very valid point. He said, well, look, you know, talking about

Starting point is 00:28:51 data and corrupted data, we remember what happened with Facebook and their Cambridge Analytica situation back in 2020, valid, but nothing is more of a national security concern than China, whether it's espionage, whether it's surveillance, whether it's political, espionage, whether it's surveillance, whether it's political meandering campaigns, you see on TikTok, what's going viral over the last year, Hamas videos, Osama bin Laden videos, PBD, you did a whole video about what TikTok suppresses. And in China, they suppress anything with Tiananmen Square, Hong Kong protesters, anything. So let me tell you, let me, because I'm trying to think from the strategic hat, right? I think, I think this is what he's thinking about. I think it's timing on when to ban TikTok. When would the left want TikTok to be banned?

Starting point is 00:29:36 Probably in 2024. No, no, in 2024, the left, because it's all going to go to Facebook and they know 100%, which way Facebook's gonna lean and Facebook will silence. Facebook will do anything and everything to Trump's camp. The Facebook side will do that. So Trump is probably sitting there not wanting to give up this chip as a negotiation tool in 2024.

Starting point is 00:29:59 He wants to have the leverage to use TikTok to negotiate in 25. He doesn't wanna negotiate this in 2024 because it's another one to do. Whenever you're negotiating, like, let's just say you're selling a company or buying a company, there's about 20 markers you're negotiating, right? So you may negotiate,

Starting point is 00:30:14 well, I want to make sure I get paid this much money. Okay, no problem. Then we want a 10 year non-compete. I don't want to have a 10 year non-compete. Well, then do it for this much money, but I don't want to do for that much money. Well, no shit Sherlock, you can do all of it right so yeah we want to make sure you do this and we want four board seats I only want to

Starting point is 00:30:29 give you two board seats so he's gonna lose a very very very big negotiating chip if Biden negotiates the tiktok thing today not him under his regime I think that's what it is and I don't think he trusts us I think Zuck doesn't want to back in the White House. You know what's going to happen if he's in back in the White House. So Twitter files, now you got Facebook files. And you know it's not been a good last, you know,

Starting point is 00:30:53 God knows how long for Zuck. Zuck is trying to stay out of this stuff. But yeah, I can strategically understand why he's doing this and it makes sense. And what a curveball to a lot of people who were expecting them to just say, we got a ban TikTok, but I get it. I get why he's doing it. Can I give you my opinion? Tear me apart. Tell me I'm an idiot. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go

Starting point is 00:31:13 ahead. Go ahead in the comments. I may do that anyway. Okay. Perfect. So this is the problem I have with Trump that a lot of people have with Trump. It's his policies are correct. I agree with you. Formerly, he said that we should shut down correct. I agree with you Formerly he said that we should shut down tiktok. I agree with him that we should shut down the border The challenge is he wants all the credit now He wants to be the one that's shut down tiktok. Yeah, he wants to be the one to shut down the border I agree with them on the policy right. 100%. I'll give you my POG on that. Okay. Do you know when we're negotiating a contract for software?

Starting point is 00:31:50 Do you know how at a meeting last year with three of our guys upstairs, they're not listening to this because, but anyways. And if they listen, they'll know which one I'm talking about. And they're in the negotiating room and one person wasn't in the room negotiating. And I'm like, can I ask you guys, why the hell are you guys negotiating this big of a deal

Starting point is 00:32:12 without that person being in the room? Oh, because we thought we could have it. No, you can't have it. You're not a negotiator. What do you mean we're not a negotiator? You're not a negotiator. On a good day, you're a five. You suck at negotiating.

Starting point is 00:32:27 That's not your strength. I don't want you in the negotiating room because you don't know how to negotiate. We have a, yesterday we were having a conversation, one of our guys said, yeah, you know we have to give these guys $250 million. He's gonna laugh when he listens to this. We talking about, you think they're worth that much money?

Starting point is 00:32:46 Who's negotiate, you don't negotiate on my behalf. No. So weak negotiators who get too excited cannot be in the negotiating room negotiating a big deal. All Trump is saying right now is the fact that I don't trust anybody in the room knowing how to leverage and negotiate the power of TikTok.

Starting point is 00:33:08 We can't give this up. That's what I believe is going on with him. Okay, and I don't, he's sitting there. Does he probably want to be able to do the deal? Because he confidently thinks he's going to get more out of it from China if he negotiates. That's what I think is going on. I think that's all it is. Trust me when I tell you this.

Starting point is 00:33:24 In a negotiation, Tom's been on these calls many,. I think that's all it is. Trust me when I tell you this. I know Negotiate in time has been on these calls many, many times over the last 10 years. And I'll say, if Morales negotiating, I lose no sleep over it, okay? Because Morales watch me 2,000 hours of negotiating. But if some others are, I worry if they're negotiating. So it's always about knowing who's in there negotiating on your behalf and see simply,

Starting point is 00:33:45 all he's saying is, I don't trust that you guys gonna negotiate a TikTok deal properly right now. I think that's what he's saying. Again, I may be wrong, but that's how I process it. I think you're exactly right. We can go on to the next one. I'll just remind people, if when Trump is elected, he will negotiate TikTok ban and he will also negotiate

Starting point is 00:34:03 the kryptonite for Facebook, which is FCC section 230. and he will also negotiate the kryptonite for Facebook which is FCC section 230 and he that is a big thing I'm gonna add one more and by the way do you think this Democrat Congress and do you think the people that were there Excuse me. Do you think the Democrats in Congress will negotiate against meta on section 230? No likely not way But when Trump gets there, he's gonna do both. And so Facebook becomes a publisher, TikTok is there, he neutralizes both, that is the boss move, and I think that's what's coming. Let me give one last little thing,

Starting point is 00:34:35 because at the end of the day, national security concerns, this is a TikTok official leaked recording, here it is, ready? Everything is seen in China, all the data flows to China. There is zero daylight between Xi the CCP and any private company They control everything that is the concern whether it's Trump whether it's Biden whoever it is I think they need to break up tiktok period. I don't disagree with you I fully agree that they have to And I think that there's an element some people agree that, you know,

Starting point is 00:35:06 Facebook needs to be, Meta needs to be broken apart, whether it's WhatsApp and Instagram and all this stuff. There can be that argument made for that. Great. There's a time and place for lawyers to go and make their arguments. But all I'm saying to you is I worry when somebody negotiates, like, you know when Chris Cuomo and Candice Owens were going and they talked about the Putin thing and that's, that thing's been going viral all over the place. What was the issue is the fact that I don't want Joe Biden negotiating with Putin. I don't want that.

Starting point is 00:35:33 When you, when you're sending somebody in the boardroom to negotiate, you send the wrong person, you're going to give up a lot of different things. You send the right person, you're going to give up exactly what was the right price and less and you're going to get more than you thought you were going to get because that person knows how to communicate. There's a big difference and you can't teach that to everybody. Some people have it, some people don't. You simply have to trust the right person. All right, let's go to the next story here. Next story here is Jimmy Kimmel. So first of all, Robert Downey Jr., congratulations. He wins his first Oscars. But while he's

Starting point is 00:36:04 winning his first Oscar, Robert, if you can go to Twitter that the videos on my tweet while he's winning his first Oscar Jimmy Kimmel starts to joke trying to be funny and he says to follow and just listen to this And I just want you to tell me if you maybe I'm wrong. Maybe my humor sucks I didn't find anything funny about what the man said on how he changed his life on the night he is about to win his first Oscar. And here's what Kimmel says. Go ahead. And congratulations to Cillianne's co-star Robert Downey Jr., who is...

Starting point is 00:36:33 This night is... This is the highest point of Robert Downey Jr.'s long and illustrious career. Well, one of the highest points. What a scumbag. Maybe it's funny. I don't find it funny at all. Nice. Plain it off. Yeah, he's being a professional. Was it two on the nose or is that a drug motion you made?

Starting point is 00:36:57 Just keep going. Just keep going. Yeah. Move on. But look at him. I mean, look at this guy. He's so handsome, so talented. He's won every award there is to win. Is that an acceptance speech in your pocket or do you just have a very rectangular penis? Look. He's acting. He's acting. Meaning, he can't stand any of the jokes that are being said. What are your thoughts when he sees something like that? First of all, I don't know who labeled Jimmy Kimmel a comedian. Wikipedia has him in there as a comedian.

Starting point is 00:37:32 He is not a comedian. He's a hack, leftist, propagandist that just, by the way, does anything about him say funny? Anything. On the man show, they were just disgusting him and Adam Corolla, disgusting against women. And remember, the left is a professional at this. They could be racist. They could, they could fat shame. Did you see the video Rob? I just sent you of, by the way, this is maybe the third or fourth time that from his, his past, Jimmy Kimmel has been done black face. He's been racist. He's fat shamed, he's disrespected women, nothing happens to him because he's a Democrat.

Starting point is 00:38:08 You get a golden ticket, I just sent it to you on Slack Rob, this is Jimmy Kimmel on Comedy Central. How is this not cancelable? That's blackface, Oprah. That's why I start every morning with a brisk, aerobic workout. Look, he's-shaming women. Workouts are easier when you have a partner. And he's stopping on a Mexican road.

Starting point is 00:38:27 Mark out, Mark is my maid, Marguerite. Yeah. Marguerite's soft brown stomach protects my knees and ankles for my necessary wear and tear. Not too much longer, me so pro-gay. Yeah. Guys, I'm like, it's not gonna shut up in Spanish. 15 minutes a day is all you need.

Starting point is 00:38:44 So here's the thing, tasteless, you know. I've never seen that. He did calm alone, he did blackface. If any other person did some shit like that, Pat, they're canceled. All he is is a mouthpiece for the less, just like Stephen Colbert and all these pushers. So let's play, let's be him.

Starting point is 00:39:00 Let's be him. He's gonna say, well, that's comedy though. I got you guys talking about it. That's comedy, right? I won. You guys are talking about it. I won. So the part where this is, if you're going to tell that joke, you can't get upset at

Starting point is 00:39:15 anybody calling your ass out. You just have to accept it. Why? Because when people bring up Carmelone and Oprah Winfrey, I'm sure he's like, well, that was 20 years ago. That was 30 years ago. Why are you bringing something up like that? Well, RDJ changes life, man, and people love him.

Starting point is 00:39:31 There's some actors and some people in life you root for. Literally, there's certain people you just naturally root for. It's in sports, it's in politics, it's in Hollywood, it's in comedy. It's in every space. You just root for that guy. Robert Downey Jr. was a a guy put a list of my top five movies of his with number one being judge I think number two was the end game number three I put us I think only you and an iron man and I added one other movie too I forget which one the fives are for me

Starting point is 00:39:57 I just love this guy right and maybe Jimmy Kimmel hates the fact that he doesn't have that kind of love that You know Robert Downey Jr. Yes, maybe his enemies is like I'm more famous and I'm doing this and I'm doing that But how come people don't love me like the way they love Robert Downey, Jr. I don't know what it is This is why he's a hypocrite because he can bring up Robert Downey's Drug past 20 years ago. Yeah, but you can't talk about what he did 20 years ago That's exactly the most ironic part. Great point. And here's the thing though.

Starting point is 00:40:27 You nailed like the odds of what Robert, if you guys don't know Robert Downey Jr's story of the drugs and everything, the guy shouldn't even be alive, shouldn't have a career and look at he can do, you want to talk about a Phoenix? This guy came out of the ashes. He's up there. This is his night.

Starting point is 00:40:41 He's the favorite to win. And you're going to say some stupid, ignorant shit like that in front of his wife, in front of the world. He played it off cool, but it's like, dude, like enough is enough with these hack embarrassing freaking moments. By the way, he opened when he was on stage, he read Trump's tweet about him being the worst host and what, by the way, you know, it's crazy. That was the funniest moment of the night. And it wasn't that he said it. It was what Trump said about his hack, unfunny ass standing on the show. Well, I'll tell you one thing. Obviously Cuomo is like best friends with Robert Downey Jr. Yeah. Right. I mean, he's FaceTimed into the podcast before

Starting point is 00:41:19 during the UFC fight. I'm sitting with Cuomo who tell me who were there. Robert Downey, Jr. Face times us during the fight. We're like, people behind us are literally like, is that Robert Downey? Everyone's going crazy. Like in our little section of it, I wasn't crazy. I haven't watched the Oscars in not even decades, but because of Robert Downey, Jr. Because of Cuomo, I wanted to see if he was going to win or not. By the way, Oppenheimer cleaned up. He won best supporting way, Oppenheimer cleaned up. He won best supporting actor for Oppenheimer. They won best actor, best picture, best supporting actor. The list goes on.

Starting point is 00:41:52 I think they won, I don't know, almost 10 awards, I want to say, but he got up on stage. This is what, you know, you got to appreciate somebody that can poke fun at themselves, right? So he said, I would like to thank my terrible childhood and the academy in that order and shout out to the insurance guys out there because he goes, then I would also like to thank my talent agent for actually getting me insured. And he goes, thanks bro. So, you know, he's just a very likeable guy.

Starting point is 00:42:22 I guarantee you, he goes home that night, his phone blows up and they say WTF. What was that all about? I guarantee you, that's what people texted him to say that about him. But he's left. And God bless you. You know what people say? That was written. God bless your PPD.

Starting point is 00:42:37 He goes, that was written. Do you guys know that he read that Trump tweet? He told them, I'm going to go up there and read it. And they said, no. And he said, yes, I am. So he chose to say this stupid ass Joe. Oh, they told him not to read it. They told him not to read the Trump thing. And he did it. So that's what people say. This is written. No, no, he can say what you have the Trump tweet that he read. Can you, can you pull that up a few days?

Starting point is 00:42:58 The Oscars. Yeah. Is this the one wrap? Flip of him reading it. If you want to play that, how long is it two minutes? Oh, no, no, 30 seconds. Do you have the, have the I fast forwarded it to right here? Okay? Go ahead play the clip go ahead wondering if I could share it with you. I just got a review and As there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscar fact His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not and never can be. In fact, get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him

Starting point is 00:43:29 with another washed up but cheap ABC talent, George Slopinopolis. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous, blah, blah, blah, make America great again. Wow, by the way, how funny. Stoppin'opelopolis. Sloppin'opolis. Stoppin'opolis.

Starting point is 00:43:48 And Rob, if you wanna pull up what I said, you know, on Slack, look at the, people are aware of how bipartisan, not that one, the first one, right above that, yeah. Jimmy Kimmel, number one, or does it say here, Rob Punchin, who, like, yeah, can you zoom in? Percent of Americans is the late night host leans politically. Look, Jimmy Kimmel is number one. Steve McColl bear right next to Jimmy Fallon.

Starting point is 00:44:12 But I'm highly medicated. The only one that I could even tolerate. But look at the unfunny hacks on this list. Keep going. Keep going. It's interesting. He's only one of them is actually a political show, Bill Maher, and he's not even in the top three. He's not, what does that save you? Look at, I mean, Conan I could deal with. Samantha Bee, John Oliver's another hack. And then if you go to the next thing that I sent you, it's very interesting.

Starting point is 00:44:35 John Oliver does some real good things. What he did about Boeing, if we cover that, we could talk about that. He does not hold back. I mean, obviously he's not a trunk. I can't stand him, but he's got some good stuff. And this is the reason that Greg Gutfeld, who's not a a comedian I don't know if you can see it great graphic Adam yeah so am I bad was it Nintendo 1982 there it is with the street fighter it's block up

Starting point is 00:44:54 about the fight Ryu what the hell is that it looks like that oh my this is why Gutfeld is number one a lot of people think that it's politically liberal Adam at 2 a.m. Last night the this looking focused to you almost like it must be my eyes are calling But I just I think it was I blame it on the technology But I think I think Kimmel is classless tasteless. He you know if he was a Republican he would have been canceled ten years ago You know the circle thing about Hollywood is for all of their Liberal unity that they claim to have there is not a more backbiting, cynical, insecure world than that of Hollywood talent. They are jealous of each other,

Starting point is 00:45:32 they are cynical about each other, and you get a talent agent alone and get a couple glasses of wine in them, and they'll give you war stories about how actresses get so snippy with each other. You get a talent agent alone, but that's not wine. He's gonna ask them to take your hands off. No no no wine he's gonna you get people talking let me put it this way you go to a you go to a cocktail party in Hollywood and you know what I mean you get a cocktail party in Hollywood and at about 11 o'clock you get an agent with a buzz

Starting point is 00:45:57 starts talking and those are telling you things since we're speaking the I'm not having a couple of glasses of wine. I'm not drinking. I think everybody knows what I mean. But Kimmel is a cynical, jealous man. Speaking of the Oscars, can we talk about what John Cena did? John Cena. So let's go. John Cena. I'm sure everybody's seen it. It's, it's, it's all over the place. John Cena's goes new on the oscar stage in the not to infamous infamous academy works three quips the male body is not a joke johnson appeared naked on oscar stage while presenting the war

Starting point is 00:46:33 of best costume design to poor things was all part of a bit that paid homage to one of the craziest moments in history of academy works when a naked man ran on stage at the forty six Oscars in 1974 while David Neven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor. It was at the height of the 70s, a streaking fan when new people frequently interrupt the public events. I changed my mind. I don't want to do the streaker bit. He told Kimmel, I just don't feel right about it. It's an elegant event. You know, you should feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless joke. Kimmel said the bit was supposed to be funny to which Sena Hilaris responded

Starting point is 00:47:08 the male body is not a joke. I mean, I need you guys to see this actual clip. Did you see it live? Yeah, I saw the clip. No, I thought as soon as it happened it was all over X but I just wonder is he gonna apologize to the parents of all the kids because mind you a lot of his fans wrestling they're watching this Adam this isn't that late on the on the West Coast is he gonna apologize to the parents of all the kids because mind you a lot of his fans wrestling they're watching this Adam This isn't that late on the on the West Coast It's he gonna apologize to the parents for showing his naked ass like he apologized to China in Chinese when he said Taiwan Was a country this is a humiliation ritual. All right, that's they started like in 2020 started wearing dresses He's on only fans doing rich weird crap Hollywood does this when you want fame and fortune

Starting point is 00:47:48 They make you either you sell your soul you make a crazy sacrifice Well, they have to shame your ass like this and do that. This is not him This is not what he wants to do. Do you think he wants to do that Adam? His wife's ex his ex-wife is there Nikki Bella was there and then his fan base is our brother's kids watching you. Mind you, I've had my clothes off naked G-String. I was on Showtime. I was on a late night. Kids are asleep. I'm not doing that shit on the Oscars. Hold on. You were naked in a G-String?

Starting point is 00:48:16 Yeah, I've done a lot of crazy stuff. Do you think we're just going to gloss over that real quick? No, no, no, no. Moving right along. Hold on. Can we get some images of this? I was on Showtime. I did a protest. I didn't write the sketch. It was old and it was on show time. Like I said, late night. Why do you keep saying it's on show time? It's on show because the kids, well, you think of eight year old kid is watching show time

Starting point is 00:48:37 that late at night? Well, it was late at night. So whatever I actually, look, I, number one, I got to see that image. Get out of there, Rob. Get out of there.. I gotta find that. I think, I think everyone in the audience wants to see more respect for your eyes. I will say that it was actually hilarious, well written. Is it inappropriate for children? You know, he basically was behind sort of a wall and the way that Kimmel sort of set it up. He was like a naked man streaking. Yeah. Uh, can we get cute to that? You know, and he's like, I don't, I don't want to do this, bro. I don't want to, it was a bit and you got to give a shout out to the comedy writers. Again, not necessarily condoning this, but it was funny. He's like best costumes. So I caused it. But the most

Starting point is 00:49:22 you said, what was the most degrading you show the image that I sent you You know his feud with the rock go back one No, the other way As he's leaving naked He has to shake the rocks hand backstage backstage What you don't have that image Rob? I sent it to you in slack and it was a John Cena naked and with the rock and bad bunny There oh, wow should have it Rob there it is right there. Yeah, it's like a monk

Starting point is 00:49:56 Yeah, so we all know that the rock and John Cena two of the biggest WWE stars. They had bad blood back in the day both massive stars rivalry WWE stars, they had bad blood back in the day, both massive stars, rivalry. Cena actually admitted that he messed up. There was a lot of bad vibes that he was short-sighted and selfish. I don't know what their relationship is now, but is there anything more emasculating to John Cena being naked and walking past the rock,

Starting point is 00:50:21 having to shake his hand at the hospital? Let me ask you a question, Pat. Does he, when they tell him like, hey, listen, this is what we want you to do. Does he have to do it? No. Or could he say no? Oh, no, he doesn't have to do it. Really?

Starting point is 00:50:31 No, I think, listen, here's what I think. I think there's a couple of things in Hollywood. Hollywood has a reputation of having you do things you don't want to do or else, right? So that reputation exists. Now, you know, the rock did a movie back in the days, Get Shorty with John Travolta and, and Vince Vaughn. Do you remember that where he was a gay security guard, a body guard? Do you remember that? Yeah, I remember the movie. Twinkle, twinkle. Yeah. Do you remember that

Starting point is 00:51:00 whole, I don't know if you remember or not. And they're out of the car and they're running around and, you know, rock's done some weird movies. That's the one, I think that's the one. Yeah, Get Shorty was in it. And he was actually really funny in the movie. Be cool, be cool. That's what, I'm sorry, I said Get Shorty, but it's be cool, yeah.

Starting point is 00:51:17 So, you know, so why are you doing that? Well, because at that time, you don't, who was the rock? He didn't have leverage. When you don't have leverage, if anybody wants to go into the Hollywood business right now, you're gonna be like, I only wanna play the hero. Get the hell out of here.

Starting point is 00:51:32 There's like 50 million people that wanna play the hero. No, we're only gonna use your face for villain, okay? Remember, you know what Vince Vaughn played one of his first movies? I think he played Psycho. Go to, what movie did it play? Now maybe it's not Psycho, but play Vince Vaughn. He might have been in the movie.

Starting point is 00:51:48 Type in Vince Vaughn's Psycho. I think you're right, Pat. Yeah, bro, the guy played Psycho. Yeah. Can you imagine? This guy's like, you know, I don't want to be Psycho. I want to be somebody else. So when you get in, you don't have leverage,

Starting point is 00:52:01 you got to pick whatever scripts that they're willing to give you for you to play that part. But then when you're John Cena or Derac, you're like, look guys, I'm only gonna be the hero and I'm only gonna do it. And by the way, Derac played a villain in Fast and the Furious. It was form of a villain, right?

Starting point is 00:52:14 Eventually it's like they become friends. But you don't have to do it, you choose to do it, except if your career is in shambles and they got so many things that they own on you, then guess what? You better do it. It's not even have to. You better do it or else. And it's not a good position to be in. Anyways, let's go to the next story here. At the Oscars, do we want to stay on that with the refuting their Jewishness? Let's go. There's Oscar winners refute their Jewishness, okay, which whatever that means. But let's read this here. Oscar winners refute their Jewishness, okay, which, which whatever that means, but let's read this

Starting point is 00:52:46 year. Oscar winners refute their Jewishness over Israel's war of self-defense against Hamas. The experimental Holocaust drama, the zone of interest, took home the Oscar for best international feature in his director, Jonathan Glazer, used the moment to decry Israel's attack in Gaza. All our choices, Rob, if you have that clip, all our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say, look what they did then, but rather look what we do now. He said, our film shows the where dehumanization leads at its worst. It shaped all of our past and present. Glaser then said, he and his fellow filmmakers stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict

Starting point is 00:53:30 for so many innocent people. Glazer did however take the moment to honor the Israeli victim of October 7 massacre at the hands of Hamas. Go ahead Rob. As a long as we're made to reflect and confront us in the present. How long is it Rob? Not to say look what they. About a minute.

Starting point is 00:53:44 Okay, go ahead. It's pretty much what I? Not to say, look what they. About a minute. Okay, go ahead. It's pretty much what I read, right? Rather look what we do now. How film shows we're dehumanizing. It's okay, I just read it. So Vinny, thought. Well, first of all, and a lot of people, dude, they went crazy after this guy.

Starting point is 00:53:57 I mean, he's Jewish, the guys behind them are Jewish, and he used the word occupation, which people started protesting, they were outside. They had to fence this place in, like the White House when Biden was doing his speech. But his main message was simple, but I think it was crucial that empathy and compassion is not a zero sum game. I mean, dude, like, I don't know if you guys have been paying attention with what's happening. The numbers of, of, uh, Gazans killed were how many, as at this point in time, you know, over 30,000, they're saying the numbers kind of out there.

Starting point is 00:54:28 BB Netanyahu just did an interview with Fox and he's like, we're not getting off the gas. Okay. And I'm just curious how many, how much more blood has to be spilled there to quench this guy's thirst? Because by the way, I don't know if you guys saw this or not. Remember, there's always, there's both sides of every story. Obviously, let's not get into how bad the October attack was. It was disgusting.

Starting point is 00:54:49 It was horrible. There were murderers. But there's a clip of reporters I sent to Rob. Did you see how some of these reporters from Israel are talking about the Israel situation, the Gaza situation? Rob, do you have that clip? This is, brother, this is Israeli news. Look at how they're talking about what's happening in Gaza.

Starting point is 00:55:07 I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes.

Starting point is 00:55:20 I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. I'm for war crimes. ‫הם קורסים בעזר. ‫מה אני אעשה? ‫עוד, עוד, עוד בתים, עוד מגדלים, ‫שלא יהיה להם להלך זור. ‫לדעתי, צהל היה יכול לתת ‫מקט פתיחה כואבת יותר ‫עם 100 אלף ארוגים בהתחלה, כן? ‫-כן. ‫יש עוד 20 אלף... ‫-יש עוד 20 אלף ארוגים...

Starting point is 00:55:37 ‫הוא יודע שעמי אלף אליף ‫זה לא יהיו מאילף אליף ארוגים. ‫היא יודע מה זה מהאורבים ‫ולא מהאורבים, ‫והפי מפלש המחפול בבקשה. ‫-אתה באמת רוצה לרוג 100 אלף ארוגים. ‫אני לא חייבה על גזע. ‫אני לא חייבה על גזע. I don't care about Gaza. I literally don't care. For all I care, they can go out and swim in the sea. I want to see dead bodies of terrorists around Gaza. That's what I want to stop. I know Adam you have some thoughts about Ramadan and all the stuff coming up. And when here, and again, I've said this multiple times on the show, when are we going to find out what happened on October 7th? When, remember John Kirby said, now is not the time. Is now the time? How many months has it been? Seven months, okay, we're at over 30,000 people and the majority, I don't care what BB Netanyahu says is the number the majority are Innocent women children and men. So when is it what I'm just curious

Starting point is 00:56:34 That's a really horrible look for anybody on the news talking like that about the war That doesn't that's not a good sign that people are watching that. I'm just curious to win. I think Jonathan Glazer I'm brave to have that moment to say like listen listen, it has to stop. It's getting ridiculous. I think that's a great moment that he took it. He's gonna catch flak. I don't know what his future in Hollywood is gonna be like, but it's like, enough is enough. You know what I mean? And Adam, you have a thought on the ceasefire.

Starting point is 00:56:57 Happy Ramadan to all our Muslim friends out there. Vinny, you have to understand something about Israel. And you'll understand this as an American. They are a democracy. Okay? You're going to have people on the left. You're going to have people on the right. You're going to have people on the center.

Starting point is 00:57:16 There's a wide range of opinions. You understand that. Of course I do. If you go and you cut up every clip of every lefty in America, you're gonna hear some wild ass shit. Yeah. If you go and you cut up every clip of any right winger in America, you're gonna hear some wild ass shit. That is the beauty of a democracy is you can say what you want to say. Now policy is different than verbal personality, conjecture, anything like that. So being that as a democracy,

Starting point is 00:57:50 BB Netanyahu is the prime minister. There is a lot of, let's just say, momentum for him to be removed. We'll see if that happens. His candidate is biggest combatant as they say would be Benny Gantz, who is aligned with Netanyahu on what they're doing. Now, Benny Gantz has come to visit Kamala Harris because their biggest fear is they do not want to have a daylight between the American policy and the Israeli policy. Here's what I could tell you. Uh, whether

Starting point is 00:58:25 it's right, whether it's wrong, they are going to eliminate Hamas. This is not my opinion. You think that's an attainable goal when you don't even know? So how many? Let me, let me read this to you guys. Netanyahu says at least 13,000 terrorists amongst Palestinians killed. Reuters story nearly 31,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza during the five month long war that began after Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7, killing 1200 people in season 253 hostages. According to Israel allies, Netanyahu said that extending Israel's offensive into Rafah in southern Gaza was key to defending Hamas. We are very close to victory. Once we begin military action against the remaining terror battalions in Rafa, it is only a question of weeks until the intensive phase of fighting is concluded.

Starting point is 00:59:10 Biden and his aides have urgent at the Ahoon strong terms not to launch more major offensive in Rafa until Israel craft a plan for mass evacuation of civilians more than half of Gaza's 2.3 million people are sheltering in Rafa. This is concerning. This is Rafa. If anything, if you know anything about Israel, the Rafa border crossing is the right where the border was. Exactly. With Egypt. If you've seen that Egypt now, why can't they go into Egypt? Cause Egypt doesn't want them. BB Netanyahu has acknowledged that he does not want to go into Rafa and kill more innocent civilians. By the way, and this is Alan Dershowitz who said this. So come after him. He said of the 30,000, and this is all Hamas's numbers. Okay. And then if

Starting point is 00:59:57 you want to say, all right, the UN, if you want to believe the UN is embedded with them. So that is not that it is two to one. So meaning for every Terrorist killed that one to two civilians has been killed. Now you might say that sounds horrible That's actually some of the lowest numbers you've ever seen in war in World War two or in Tokyo in Japan When the United States attacked them it was way higher than that now I'll give the disclaimer Nobody wants to see dead civilians. It's horrible. It's tragic There's two million people in Gaza right now that are could potentially be under famine. Nobody wants this, but I will remind you You think Israel wanted this war, you know, they say that there's a ceasefire

Starting point is 01:00:40 There was a ceasefire on October 6th Well, you just asked you do I think Israel wanted this war from what BB Nanyahu has said on camera yes Adam they did they were waiting for and he said the US is basically our bitch and we could do whatever we want and they're not going to say anything. You think that they actually wanted to have 1200 people slaughtered. Hold on hold on hold on. They wanted actual civilians dead. Adam you're saying like they didn't want that. You don't think beating that young wants to wipe out Gaza and take over that territory?

Starting point is 01:01:08 So that's, that's, that's where you're going with this? No, no, you said, you said, there's, there's no, I'm not even being a dick. I'm asking you. You think that he wanted 1200 innocent civilians to die as an excuse to go into Gaza? Adam, he didn't pick up. I'm asking you that very exact question. I'm asking, I'm telling you, very exact question. I'm telling you, yeah He said he could do whatever the hell he wants and nobody will check him because we're his bitch number one number two That that happened that we still don't know what happened Well, how did how that security fail so horribly where these terrorists ran rampant for six hours and did all that they did and nothing

Starting point is 01:01:42 Happened here's my question. said, those reporters left or right, you show me at what point an American news, Fox or CNN, when there's a war going on, said some shit like, I want 100,000, who gives a shit, I want to see dead bodies in the water. That's a whole different sentiment. And the majority of Israelis said that the response isn't strong enough.

Starting point is 01:02:03 That's a fact. The average Israeli is like, we should do more. We should have gone in harder and wiped people out. That's a fact. Let's do this for a second. Let's do this. Let's go to see what they're saying in Hamas land. What do you think they're saying?

Starting point is 01:02:17 Forget about Israel. You just identified that. What do you think everyone in Gaza is saying about Israel? Because I can already tell you what it is. You ready? From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. What do you mean everybody in Gaza is saying about Israel? Because I can already tell you what it is. You ready? From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. What do you mean everybody in Gaza? There's barely nobody's in Gaza right now. They're all gone. Where is everybody in Gaza?

Starting point is 01:02:32 They're still in Gaza. They're in Ra'fah right now. Well, they're barely in Gaza. But you have to understand something. Do you know that the 1200 people that were killed, you know, in October 7th, do you know what those people were? Do you know actually what their makeup was, their demographic was, do you know who they were? They were the people calling for a two state solution. Those were the, they live on a kibbutz. This is hippied out.

Starting point is 01:02:56 I know. Yeah, they're at a freaking concert. I get it. So hear me out here. The people on the far left that were basically saying, we need to live with the people, bring them in. We want them to live with those are the people advocating for Palestinian state. Those are the ones that were slaughtered.

Starting point is 01:03:13 So people of Israel are now looking at it and saying, wow, they even slaughtered the people on the left. So it'd be this, it'd be the equivalent of the gaze for Gaza. Hey, we know from the river to the sea, please, you know, gaze for Gaza. And then Hamas murdering them. It's literally the equivalent. So the question is, you can't negotiate with these people. I understand that, but I don't hear a question to you.

Starting point is 01:03:38 They want the whole land. How much of the land do they want? All of it. Okay. Here's my question note to you. Since this, by the way, I don't agree with this of it. How many okay? Here's my question to you since this by the way I don't agree with this number two to one. I think that's completely false. I don't care Who's reporting it? How many more people I'm asking you genuinely how many more people are going to die till you go? Okay, guys, here's the Hamas death total. They're all gone. That's an un how much how much has well many more

Starting point is 01:04:03 I'll give you an exact answer. I would like to see zero They're all gone. That's an un... How much? How much has... How many more people have to die? I would like to see zero. I know but... But I don't know if you know how this works. You can't write a nice email to Hamas and say, Hey, please stop. Did you know? You think?

Starting point is 01:04:14 No. This is why you're naive. How do you get the number? No, I'm not naive. Just listen for a second. I'll shut up. What do you think? Hamas is just sitting there in their tunnels,

Starting point is 01:04:22 shaking their boots. They're still Firing rockets into Israeli cities. I guarantee you Vinnie as an air force veteran if rockets were flying from Mexico Into Texas, what would you say then you'd say well, you know, I definitely don't want to kill all the innocent Mexicans But as an air force combatant as a veteran, we got to take care of these people. We got to protect our people. It's not like Hamas is just sitting there doing nothing. And by the way, in the north of Israel, you have Hezbollah.

Starting point is 01:04:55 By the way, these are all U.S. deemed terrorists. Yeah, Hamas. How many Israeli soldiers have been dying lately? You know the number of Israeli soldiers dying? Hopefully zero. Barely any. Thank God. They might be, might maybe by an accident, but my question is now that the war is kind

Starting point is 01:05:11 of chilled, right? Why can't they do a tactic change? Like a different approach to get these guys in the tunnel? That is literally what they're doing. But there are 30,000, some thousand that the numbers keep going up. Let's move on. Let's move on to the next story. They have not invaded Rafa.

Starting point is 01:05:23 They could. I hope not. Sanders, while we're talking about about this Bernie Sanders has also come out and said let's not send any more money To Netanyahu's war machine. It's not just that 30,000 people two-thirds of them are women and children Have already been killed. We're looking at the possibility of hundreds of thousands of children starving to death Sanders said according to Gaza's health ministry Israel's bombardments and ground assaults have killed more than 30,000 people in besieged strip and others are dying of starvation. The United States and America cannot be complicit in this mass slaughter of children. Sanders told CBS, oh, this is it. Go ahead, Rob. You can play that. You said Israel's in violation of the Foreign Assistance Act as have a handful of other

Starting point is 01:06:05 Democratic senators. They may also be in violation of the Leahy Act. The President himself has the national security powers to suspend. Do you really think though in a presidential election year that the President of the United States would halt or pause or condition aid to one of the closest allies in the Middle East? Well, I think it is the right thing to do. You can't beg Netanyahu.

Starting point is 01:06:32 You got to tell him if you want any money, you got to change your policy. Allow the trucks to come in to feed the children. And by the way, in terms of politics, which is secondary to my mind in this issue, the truth is whether you're a conservative Republican or a progressive, you do not want to see children in Palestine starve to death. So I think it's good politics and it's the moral and right thing to do. I don't see anything wrong with what he said. And Bernie Sanders says a lot of stupid shit. Nobody wants to see innocent kids dying. Nobody. I can promise you that.

Starting point is 01:07:06 So this whole war could be over right now. If they return the hostages, Vinny, if someone had your kids, you, okay? Someone had Brooklyn, who's basically your goddaughter at this point. I know your relationship with her. What would you do? You would go after to all hell on earth to get your kids back. That's what Israel does. Whether it's right or whether it's wrong. Okay? They've traded one Israeli

Starting point is 01:07:37 soldier for a thousand criminals in prisons. They want their people back. This war would be over if Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas, who was in an Israeli prison for 20 years for murder of innocent civilians, told Hamas to put down their weapons and return the hostage. This whole thing would be over, but they're not doing that. And what they hope to do is during Ramadan right now, basically get galvanized the Arab world behind them to say, look what they're doing. But you know, who's not doing anything at this point, the Arab world, they don't care about the Palestinians. If they did, they take them into Egypt, they would take them into Jordan.

Starting point is 01:08:18 Unfortunately, by the way, as a proud American, I'm not an Israeli, I'm an American. Okay. As a proud American, I'm not an Israeli. I'm an American. Okay? You have to understand what countries love America and what countries hate America as an American You know the three countries at the top of the list that love America number one Poland Number two Vietnam number three Israel pure research. Look it up. You know what countries hate America Jordan Israel. Pure research. Look it up. You know what countries hate America, Jordan, Russia and Palestine. Look it up. Pure research. Hamas is not our friend, bro. Hezbollah in Lebanon is not our friend. I never said that who these in Yemen are not our friend. Yes, we don't want innocent civilians, but don't forget these people hate America Well, Adam, but you would hate America too if you were getting bombed by America and its proxies all the time

Starting point is 01:09:12 Russia Russia's getting by you know why Iraqis hate America You know why Iraqis hate America because Bush lied and said hey guys weapons mass destruction. And we killed a million of them. Guess what? I would hate us too, Adam. I would despise America. And this is coming from a military veteran. If you did that shit to me, Adam, shoes on the other foot, you're in Iraq. And all of a sudden bombs, American soldiers, occupation.

Starting point is 01:09:38 And then the president goes, yeah, no weapons of mass destruction here. And he jokes about it and goes, we're going to change the name of the war to enduring freedom You'd have a shitty taste in your mouth, too Let's transition to the next one gang Just so you guys know after the last part for some of you guys that have direct questions for Vinny or Adam and you disagree with both of them or agree with them you can manek with them right here

Starting point is 01:09:58 Send him a direct question. I'm seeing a lot of commentary people saying things I want to see Vinny and Adam seeing this on the comments, but post the question to them, have the dialogue, have the exchange. And by the way, Chris Cuomo is now on Manectin. You can even Manect with Chris Cuomo now and he's getting back to people within hours. And a lot of people messaged me saying, I can't believe he said this. I can't believe he said that. We'll go ask him a question on Manectin and see what it tells you about it.

Starting point is 01:10:21 But go ahead. I just want to say one thing. You actually make up a very good point I'm never gonna defend what they did the weapons of mass destruction with George Bush. Yeah debacle I would say that he's probably the single-handed person that has ruined America's reputation around the world But I'll give you a little food for thought I gave you the three countries that have the highest viewer highest net favorability of America You know who's number one on that list Vietnam That don't think we bomb the shit out of Vietnam obviously so sometimes you have to take action to basically

Starting point is 01:10:50 Influence your power over the world point me. Let's move on point me point me. Let's transition into something very similar to this strong conversation that we had Robert the mirror the nearest fall because Right now. Yeah, he's he's very worried and we don't want that to happen to him because we've enjoyed his movies over the years. Robert De Niro panics. If Trump wins, he'll come looking for me. Do you have the video, Rob? Because it's like, if you can just play the video,

Starting point is 01:11:18 play the video of De Niro. I mean, you know, go ahead, Rob. Just watch this, folks. Enjoy it. The guy is a total monster and Anybody I don't understand it. I guess they get behind that kind of logic They want to fuck with people screw them because they're unhappy about something. He's such a mean Nasty hateful person. I I'd never pay it play him as an actor Because actor because I can't see any good in him. Nothing.

Starting point is 01:11:50 Nothing at all. Nothing redeemable in him. And we have to, and whoever the people are who want to vote for him, and they look like intelligent people around there, for some reason it can't be. It cannot be. If he wins the election, you won't be on this show anymore. He'll come looking for me. There'll be things that happen that none of us can imagine. He's being serious, the audience is laughing. He's being that serious, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 01:12:22 By the way, this is full Trump derangement syndrome and attack. And he claims Donald Trump becomes president. All this is going to happen, right? He's clearly having an episode. So Trump is the threat to America. Meanwhile, in New York City right now, where he is from, the narrows from Brooklyn, the governor last week deployed 750 National Guard soldiers with long rifles, M16s in the subways due to skyrocketing crime and violence, which is caused a lot by the illegal set in, who let

Starting point is 01:12:53 these illegals in Tom? Is it Trump? Oh, in the last couple of years, Joe Biden has been working hard to set new records. Thank you. And yet Trump is the threat and give me a break. Okay. And you said this, Pat, is that an, I yet Trump is the threat, and give me a break, okay? And you said this, Pat, is that it? I thought this was an act, like he's an actor, but what all this does, this negative rhetoric, it's further dividing an already divided country. And the most egregious thing I think,

Starting point is 01:13:17 the most unbelievable to me, is somebody, Robert De Niro, who I was a huge, huge fan of his work. I've seen good fellows with my family, my brother, my cousins, I'll say 150 times. I'm not even joking, but I'm, I was a huge, huge fan of his work. I've seen good fellows with my family, my brother, my cousins. I'll say 150 times. I'm not even joking, but I just plays in the background. For someone, and God rest his soul, his grandson just died this year due to fentanyl overdose, okay?

Starting point is 01:13:37 Why aren't you furious at this current administration? You should be ashamed of yourself because that fentanyl that came in and killed your grandson either came from China or it came from Mexico. Okay. And guess what? Because of the wide open border and whose fault is that again? Our Mexico is the distributor for just Biden, not Trump and Bill Maher. I don't know if you saw Bill Maher just sitting there and it drives me crazy with Bill Maher.

Starting point is 01:14:00 A lot of us, we've been set out and you said this. We all are like, yo, he's starting to wake up. He's trying to, he's, he's turning, he's a fraud. He has TDS as well. And when it looks like Trump was not gonna be the nominee, you saw Bill Maher, like happy, he's always, he's saying right, right, policy and stuff. Now that Trump is a favorite, he's back into TDS

Starting point is 01:14:20 and it's just, it's boring. Now Trump's the enemy again. I completely appreciate your passion and I ask you to think about one thing. What? Why are they coming out saying irrational things? The beginning of that, by De Niro, he sounded like making a rational argument,

Starting point is 01:14:38 listen to his tone, this is how he was delivering it. He sounded almost rational, almost. And then he gets to the end and they drop in the fear They drop in the fear because they know their guy is losing exactly so point one They're going full TDS because their guy is losing and they're trying to use fear because from the liberal Democratic side you can't put together a policy or position argument that makes sense the American voter point to Robert DeNiro You and everybody you're such liars. There's an easy solution

Starting point is 01:15:13 Go to Canada like you said you were gonna go with December of 2016. I'm so scared. I'm moving to Canada Look if you like you look many of you like Montana and you have ranches in Montana, it's just another hundred miles over the border. Go to Canada. If that's what you want, you're so afraid of things here, there are solutions to it. But they are terrified right now because their guy is so behind and they know it and this is just coming out. But everything you said is correct, especially the point, look in the mirror, Robert De Niro, your own family member tragically was an avoidable death that this president, that you claim to love so much, could have stopped.

Starting point is 01:15:54 Rob, I just saw you this clip on Slack. Patrick, he was asked about the crime in New York. Bill Maher asked him straight up, the National Guard, look at this nothing burger answer. He doesn't, he can't have an answer because he knows that it's an F-thup policy from the sanctuary city. Rob, you play this? The governor of New York now is putting the National Guard in the subway. What in New York, what do you think of that?

Starting point is 01:16:18 What do you think they'd say if he did it? Well if he did it it's for another reason. Heard doing it, I haven't heard about it. They just told me. He hasn't heard shit about it. Yeah. Before, but I don't know. I don't have an answer for that.

Starting point is 01:16:31 I'm not happy about it, but I... But crime in New York, I mean, you know something about that. Look, doesn't bother him. Well, I don't... You've played it. It's happened to you. Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look,

Starting point is 01:16:42 look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look 10 minutes. Look, it's a joke. I'm not a organized crime. We got 20 guys. I don't, I'm sorry to hear that and I hope, I don't know. You can't give the poll. Look, look, by the way, because you know why guys, he doesn't ride the subway.

Starting point is 01:16:59 He's an elitist. He's protected by guys with guns. This is all bullshit fear mongering and it just drives me nuts. Like Bill Maher should be more aggressive. Like, you don't know that the National Guard, meaning we're deploying soldiers, our soldiers on our land in the subway.

Starting point is 01:17:16 What do you talk about? When the local state fails, who bails them out? Men in uniform with Uncle Sam. He's out of touch. He's just like Bill Marr who says California. I love California. I love Newsome. Yeah, because you're in the hills protected you idiot. Come down to the ground where we're at and see how life really is for the average American. They're out of touch. To me, this is actually pretty simple.

Starting point is 01:17:41 He's Hollywood. What do we expect? Meaning we think of Robert De Niro, good fellas, casino, Bronx Tale, even Cape Fear, Raging Bull, deer. Are we thinking of all of us as badass, wild, mafia, boss type dude? He's Hollywood. Big time. He's Hollywood. We saw what happened with Jimmy Kimmel, read the mean tweet from Trump. Yeah. The crowd went wild. Once he said, make America great again, I'll give you a guess who tweeted this. I mean, applause, applause, applause.

Starting point is 01:18:13 We're expecting something different from De Niro because of the characters that he play. But at the end of the day, he's a Hollywood icon. He's never in a million years going against the message of Hollywood. But if you can admit... You know what is great? Chaz Paulementary the other day, who is friends with Bobby, with Robert De Niro, and they did Bronx Tale together, and they have a relationship together.

Starting point is 01:18:41 And Chaz always speaks very highly about Robert De Niro and the stories. Chaz eventually just couldn't hold it. He just called that New York City says, what the hell is going on to New York City? What is going on with the security? So to people like this, what eventually happens is that anybody you're close to, others can say whatever they want.

Starting point is 01:19:05 I guarantee you, Chas saying something like that has more influence on Dany Road than anything anybody else is gonna say. He's not gonna give a shit what anybody else is gonna say. But if a Chas who is in the business, who made it to the top, I think he got nominated for an Oscar. I don't know if... I believe he got nominated. Yeah, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on, uh, uh, for Bullets Over Broadway. I mean, this, this guy is a legit, legit, legit actor. And when we did Mafia States of America, the guy was a professional,

Starting point is 01:19:36 and he says, this has happened in New York. I guarantee you that goes to Bob. I guarantee you then he will seize that. And he says, then says, what do you think about this? Maybe to have a conversation offside. Maybe there is that happening internally, but Adam makes a point whether he's gonna change or not. The chances of that are gonna be slim at an age like this. Anyways, let's go to the next story here.

Starting point is 01:19:55 Let's go to the next story here. Meanwhile, Bill Maher, okay, sits there and urges Democrats to replace Kamala with somebody else. And who is that? He says Nikki Haley should be the VP. Bill Maher suggested Joe Biden consider replacing his VP, Rob, if you have this video, replacing his VP Kamala Harris with Nikki Haley or Republican Senator Mitt Romney in a bit to bit bridge the divide between the political parties gonna play this Rob. I know it's crazy to think that she could run with

Starting point is 01:20:31 Biden but that's my dream a unity ticket and then he would I think definitely win because nobody's going to and of course she said some crazy things most politicians have not as crazy as we've never been a racist country. I mean, that's pretty crazy. Wow. But you would literally destroy the Democratic base. I mean, take off the first African American female vice president. But she's a woman of color.

Starting point is 01:20:56 Yeah, but it's just like black women are like the core of the Democratic Party. Correct. Like what a douchebag, like what a douche, because Bill Maher apparently, you know, to him the first woman of color, Kamala Harris, is just a placeholder. Like this is what I'm talking about about Bill Maher, bro. Just when you think he's starting to turn,

Starting point is 01:21:17 and he's like, then he goes right back into being a vampire. I was just saying, their guy is losing, and so the lunacy that comes to the end of DeNiro's statement is not surprising to me, nor is it the spot. And listen to the last thing he said, Bill Margo's, and then he would win. Their guy is losing.

Starting point is 01:21:40 And so he is solving for Biden winning. You know, if Nikki Haley was on here and Biden wouldn't win. That's what he's solving for. These are desperate people groping and looking for desperate, literally groping in the dark, desperately trying to find a solution. Are they getting away with groping? I mean this is the kind of stuff that... This is Hollywood. Tom, he's a literal man. There's no way in the world bill mar and these guys can get away with groping into the Me Too movement would get him is that

Starting point is 01:22:11 They are metaphorically groping in the dark metaphor For a way at the rock never gave me a story about bill mark groping, but go ahead But does that surprise you it's everything grow? Of course. I'm gonna buy and win. can Biden win? We'll arrest Trump. We'll get all these things. How can Biden win? You know, we, you know, we, oh, I got an idea. Nikki Haley replaces Kamala Harris because she's so unpopular. We'll put a more popular person and then Biden would win. But does this all surprise you? But no, but they're solving for their guy to win. That's not surprising. This is the one thing that's bothered me. And they're crazy, which is equally unsurprising the one thing that bothers me about the Democrats is the proof is in the pudding this past three years and

Starting point is 01:22:51 however many months name me one thing that's going right and please please don't don't tell me infrastructure because the majority of people have no idea what the hell they're talking about nothing has gone right from Afghanistan to the border to the list goes on and on and on and on But you know what they would rather have the country go to shit than have Donald Trump That's think about the mentality. We'd rather have a burning house I wanted to fall down just as long as this person is not in charge It's lunacy like I can give a shit if I if I was on the left, but what's this?

Starting point is 01:23:24 Oh, this is Tom, don't look Tom. Don't look Tom. Oh, forget it. Do you speak English? He looked too fast. He was looking. Don't look. He's like, go ahead.

Starting point is 01:23:32 Go ahead, Adam. Do you can't smell a man. I don't know what Canadian thing you're doing over there. That by the way, that was German. We have our $1,000 bet. I said that Biden is going to be the nominee. Clearly since the state of the union address where they set the bar so low that as long as Joe Biden survived speech that, you know, they think he's going to do okay. When we last looked at this, Michelle Obama

Starting point is 01:23:56 was nine to one. It is now double. She's 18 to one. Gavin Newsom was, I think 12 to one. That's gone up a little bit. Would you at least acknowledge that at least since the state of the union that it is now more likely than ever that Biden will in fact be the nominee or are you still clinging to your August surprise prediction? I'm not clinging to my August surprise. I'm not clinging to anything. I'm objectively looking at everything. And when you and I made a bet, that's how I feel. I still think it's possible. I'm going to honor my bet. I'm going to hand you a check made out to wounded warriors for a thousand bucks. No, you're giving me the money and what I choose to do with it, whether I choose to why do you hate wounded warriors? I love it. I might take your money and double it. That's

Starting point is 01:24:35 not what I'm saying. You're not going to take a check for thousand bucks. You don't make a bet. You're not going to take a check for thousand bucks made out to wounded warriors. I think that's horrifying. That's not what I'm saying. No, it's a I don't know. I don't know that was the initial. I'm gonna have you had a bad experience with wounded warriors in the past. No, I don't, I don't trust a lot of 501 C threes. I like to see where the money goes. I'd rather give it to him myself, but I'll tell you this, the chances of him replacing Kamala Harris, who is astronomically horrible is zero.

Starting point is 01:25:05 The base of the Democratic Party are black women. They're not gonna replace at this juncture, the first African American woman, whatever, Indo-Pacific woman ever to become vice president. It's not happening. The most interesting thing about this is the fact that Gavin officially pulled above. Yeah, that's weird.

Starting point is 01:25:23 That's the most interesting thing that that flip. That's very weird. But listen, if, and you nailed it, Adam, you nailed it for a stroke, whatever drug adrenaline they injected into Biden at the state of the union. If they do that every debate, he does have a, I mean, he has a chance to survive. I don't think he'll be Trump, but he'll make it through the day. He looked good at that. He looked good. Like he, it's like, if he had a doctor or maybe a family member that knew a lot about medications to get away. Oh yeah. Weird. All right. Let's go to the next one. Influencer Andrew Tate detained in Romania, handed UK arrest warrant. Spokesperson says online influence. Andrew Tate was detained in Romania and handed arrest warrant issued by British authorities. The

Starting point is 01:26:00 spokesperson said Tuesday, Tate 37 and his brother Tristan were detained Monday evening for 24 hours on allegations of sexual aggression in UK, K stating back to 2012 and 2015 spokesperson. Matia Petrusco said four women had reported Tate to UK authorities for alleged sexual violence and physical abuse, but the crown prosecution service decided not to prosecute them. The alleged victims then turned to crowdfunding to cover the legal cause as they pursue a civil case against them. They discharging a separate case in Romania with rape, human traffic and informing a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. Adam. I mean, it's so obvious what they're doing. It's insane. Before you've been read that,

Starting point is 01:26:46 I'm like, let me guess the sex crimes. And Adam, read, read that. Let me guess. What's sexual aggression? Hey girl, give me your number. Like what is that? They've revealed their hand. It's clear. How many times have I asked you what's going on with tape? Like we haven't like, it's almost like the column before the storm. We haven't heard anything about what's going on in their case in months. They were released from house arrest. They're doing podcasts more than ever on rumble. Now they just did an Oscars podcast on Sunday night. I gave, I sent Rob a clip of the moment where they're there by the way, he, they were going after John Cena, they're going after the gay agenda. They said some crazy stuff that I mean,

Starting point is 01:27:28 but bro, at that point though, like you know that they're looking for you, I would tone it down. You know everybody tells Trump to tone it down? Like keep going, right there, that's from Rumble. Nice. You and I are at the height of our fame. We were offered $50 million, and when we escaped this matrix attack, when we're no longer

Starting point is 01:27:47 tied up inside of the legal system, I'm going to tell you which company offered it to us. So you may as well kill me now, because I'm going to say it. And we were offered $50 million and we basically had to have certain opinions on LGBT and certain opinions on Israel-Palestine and we had to wear certain clothes and dress in a certain way and do certain things and we would be protected by the media establishment. They have said, we spend a lot of money on advertising mainstream media, so the mainstream media will never attack you

Starting point is 01:28:09 because they cannot go against the post to child of the people who financed them. Basically, we hit the gay wall and we declined and after declining, we ended up in a jail cell. And it's very interesting. Cosmic. Cosmic, yeah. Wow, how'd that happen? And it's very interesting when you sit and talk about how they're out to humiliate men because they want

Starting point is 01:28:29 anyone who's seen as masculine and seen as a hero and seen as a role model to face humiliation so that the people who look up to this person are no longer inspired and then he gets arrested right after this well you know I thought about this because he's and to to say Andrew Tate, can he transition and become like a female like Andrea Tittinsky or something? He did that on the second podcast we did in Bucharest. He said, I'm, I'm now the most famous woman in the world right now. Why can't he transition and be like, I'm not Andrew anymore. He tweeted right after the arrest. I'm not sure how he tweeted, it was his people. He said, the matrix is afraid, but I only fear God. This, there was some writing on the wall here.

Starting point is 01:29:09 I don't know if you saw this. This was maybe a week or two ago. He was pulled over in Romania. Yeah. Given a drug test, he passed given a breathalyzer. He passed. Here's the tweet right here. The matrix is afraid, but I only fear God. You know, we like these guys. We're rooting for those guys. Do we agree with everything they say? No, but do I agree with everything anyone says? No. No, but this is the times we're living in is that if you don't like somebody, and to this extent, you don't like what they're saying,

Starting point is 01:29:37 or if they're going counterintuitive to the message, you character assassinate them, you try to jail them, and as he famously said, the third bullet ends up in the back of your head. So we're rooting for these guys. I have no clue what the hell they're going for, but they're trying to extradite them to the UK now, which is not good. Cause it's, it's, again, this is my opinion. It's pretty clear to me.

Starting point is 01:29:57 Romania has found nothing. Of course. Well, he's still there. He's going out. He's driving his Bugatti. He's going around. He's having fun. Like he's, there's probably a sense of comfort where he's like, I know this is all bullshit But he also there was a there was a the fear they had was that these guys were about to escape Romania

Starting point is 01:30:15 Oh, somewhere else. So that's apparently one of the things that hey They may be running away. So let's get them before they do and all this stuff that they're spinning And doing what they're doing. Now here's the thing, what percentage of this is just literal, like hey, the girls raised the money and they're not going after them civil and you came, that's what the case is. Okay, that's one. Second option is their comments they made Sunday night that hey, here's what we're going to do, whether you do this or not, we're're gonna come out and talk about who gave the $50 million offer to them.

Starting point is 01:30:47 Who could that 50 million be? Is it BBC that offered them the money? I don't think so. Who is it? Who would it be? Who knows? Maybe there's gonna be somebody that they're gonna out the house that's gonna explain who it is.

Starting point is 01:30:59 Reveal who it is. Three, is this what's happening because it's getting closer to election year and they are very loud spokes person on what he said the other day. The only person left that's going to be saving America is going to be Trump. I think he said that on something last couple of weeks. Four, is it really the fact that they're worried, you know, of what they're going to be doing with girls?

Starting point is 01:31:21 Who knows? You pick and choose whichever you think it is. They may be just delaying them for their popularity to decline and for their relevance to kind of disappear and then for them to be like, okay, now we'll let you come back in. Okay, now we'll let you get back into doing what you're doing. The thing with the establishment is you could kill off someone's momentum, but if someone really has a message, you're only killing them temporarily. You're not gonna kill them permanently.

Starting point is 01:31:48 You can slow down momentum. You can slow down from them saying a few words right now, but the world is naturally curious, and they're going to curiously want to find out what these people have to say no matter how much you try to hide them from watching it. Someone's gonna have to hear what they have to say. Their message is gonna get out there. Tom, did you have any thoughts

Starting point is 01:32:07 on this or you're sitting there pretty quiet? No, this is unsurprising but this is horrifying. You know, you've got now UK courts on these these these guys didn't kill Kennedy and they're being extradited at great cost, great publicly from Romania to here. So somebody doesn't like what they're being extradited at great cost, great publicly from Romania to here. So somebody doesn't like what they're saying and somebody doesn't want them to say more. And now you've got a, what's this, 2012, a 10-year-old case. This is 2012, this is the first case. So this is unsurprising to me.

Starting point is 01:32:40 They have pissed somebody off. They continue to piss somebody off. And Romania found nothing. they have pissed somebody off, they continue to piss somebody off and Romania found nothing. They remember they had him in jail for a while, then they put him in house arrest for a while, and then they finally had to set him and say, now you can go to your own home for house arrest, and then there was nothing. And now all of a sudden, well, there's nothing, and now the four girls are in the UK, they do a crowdfunding thing. What the hell does the Crown Court care about two guys who had a dispute with some women

Starting point is 01:33:09 compared to all the things that you could be worried about? Something is up below the surface. And these guys have pissed somebody off and they're not gonna let it go. And you know what's interesting? Whoever it is, they can't say what it really is. This is going to backfire dramatically. When's the last time we talked about Tate publicly

Starting point is 01:33:30 on the podcast? It's been months. It's been months. Look, they're doing their thing on rumble. They're not even on YouTube. They're not even on TikTok. They're on rumble. You know, the thing with rumbles,

Starting point is 01:33:39 you're kind of speaking to an audience that already agrees with you, right? You're not speaking to the general public. It hasn't looked as Tate massive still say respect to Tristan. Yes, but it's not like they're worldwide news. Now, if you go Google Andrew Tate, look at all this Yahoo news. What else is there? CNN, Reuters, Rob, help me out here. I don't have the I said like this point. BBC, WAPO, Daily Mail, Guardian. Yeah, it's headline news on all these different Yeah, good point. So it's gonna backfire dramatically. Their whole intention is to diminish his star

Starting point is 01:34:13 power. It's only gonna make it greater. His his star is shining brighter today and it's going to backfire dramatically for these idiots. All right. So we'll see what happened here. We'll, we'll follow the story closely. And everybody says more, more, except the updates come through. So here we go. CNN panel pushes back against guest who says rising crime is a rating thing. Rob, if you got the video there, if you can find it, I'll read the story.

Starting point is 01:34:40 So Washington DC city council unanimously passed the secured DC omnibus amendment act of 2024 following a surgeon homicides prompted by reversal of liberal reforms CNN's Kara Swisher's dismissed Rising crime as a rating thing spark an immediate pushback on who's talking with Chris Wallace Panelists emphasize the severity of the situation with Sarah Longwell attributing the perception of cities as third world countries. Rob, if you got the clip, go ahead and play it. That there are still a lot of low level crimes like carjacking, people, you know,

Starting point is 01:35:17 getting their stuff stolen. Particularly here in DC. DC, it's really bad. It's really bad. And I think coming out of the pandemic, people just felt like something was off. You know, homelessness was a big problem here in DC and in other cities and other types of, I will say, listening to voters, they think the cities are third world countries. Like some of this also comes from the political culture right now

Starting point is 01:35:36 where crime is a big issue, Republicans have been talking about it and it's been, I think, talked about in such a hyperbolic way. By whom? By whom? Yeah, no, but no, talked about in such a hyperbolic way by whom? By whom? Yeah, no, by one station. By Fox News.

Starting point is 01:35:47 They just went on it. If you went to San Francisco, you're like, what are you talking about? Really? We have problems, but it's not this. Really? They just made it into a ratings thing. They just kept saying this. I think that's not true.

Starting point is 01:35:59 But I also think there was a carjacking on my street. Yes. You know, yesterday, DC is. Yes, yeah, carjacking. There are cities where there are problems. And also, by the way, we talk about carjackings as if, like, oh, well, it's not murder. Nobody likes to have a gun put in their face.

Starting point is 01:36:16 That's very nice. DC did. And DC in particular did have its highest homicide rate in 26 years in 2023. There's been, I think, a slight improvement. This is CNN, by the way. Yeah, what are you talking about? She's in denial. The DC Attorney General say you can't prosecute or arrest your way out of this carjacking problem. Well, I think you can, actually. So, what? Tom, go ahead, Tom.

Starting point is 01:36:36 Call this out. Oh, God. Kara Swisher just wrote a book. She's on a bit of a book tour and she's dropping in on things like this. She's been a journalist for a long time, but she just tried to spin it the way a lot of liberals do into, oh, it's not really a thing. It's really overspun by the media for a rating saying, no, it's not. The map that DeSantis held up at the debate with Gavin Newsom that showed all the places where there are human feces where you have to call the city to clean it up. That's not a rating thing. That's actual crap on your doorstep. The Proposition E and F that they want to talk about ratings?

Starting point is 01:37:17 Ratings. How about voter results? There's numbers. Those are ratings too. Voters, Proposition E, just passing San Francisco. Not def defund the police let's fund the police more proposition f let's make you pee in a cup before you get your welfare that's in San Francisco the voters there's a rating the voting the results of those both of those things came through and so she's saying this and then her own co-host are saying hey on a second, there's carjacking here, there's this here. No, it is bad. And that is, car swisher, San Francisco, protecting the home team, trying to spin it. And it's just, it's not viable. And I'm glad that her co-hosts called her out on it because the voters are speaking and it's not a ratings thing. Yeah, they've got a ratings, they have low ratings for their own city. Why because the problems the crime the things under

Starting point is 01:38:06 Liberal policies is real and the voters are striking back. It's not ratings. Come on. Tom. You were going to page 20 You said you were gonna tell this story with page 20. Let me read page 20 you University student parents hire private campus security guard Amid crime concerns concerned parents of, UC Berkeley have hired private security guards to patrol the campus area prompted by Surgeon Criminal Incidents, Safe Bears, a parent group initiated the program, raising $40,000 for nearly three week pilot,

Starting point is 01:38:37 aiming to enhance safety for students, Safe Bears president, Cigar Jattani, highlighted the urgent need for improved campus safety, emphasizing the group's formation after violent attacks at UC Berkeley, President, Cigar Gittani highlighted the urgent need for improved campus safety, emphasizing the group's formation after violent attacks at UC Berkeley. Gittani underscored the ongoing risks for students until border safety measures are implemented. Border safety measures on a broader broader safety measures are implemented.

Starting point is 01:38:59 The security initiative man by six safety ambassadors from Street Plus includes patrols from 6.30 p.m. to 3.00 a.m. daily Tom. So let's see Berkeley is in California right it's San Francisco. Oh weird. Oh my gosh it's just a there's a little bridge between the two of them. Weird. Berkeley and San Francisco. So apparently these parents have been watching CNN.

Starting point is 01:39:24 Yeah. And they were concerned about CNN, you know, just for ratings saying there was crime and they were so worried about the story which was just ratings that they went and they raised $40,000. This is another example. Not only are people voting on measures but now you got parents saying the college that I'm sending my kids to, first of all, why are you sending them to Berkeley in first place? That's the first problem. But the second problem, once they get there, they're worried about their kids not being safe, and they raise this.

Starting point is 01:39:49 So once again, this is point number 22, why Kara Swisher was so wrong on this and trying to spin it. But here's an example. Now parents, parents sending their kids to Cal Berkeley are so worried that they're hiring security guards. That's freaking, isn't that like, can you imagine that? It's not, it's not bad, but you have to pay people to protect

Starting point is 01:40:11 your, like, like, like they're the president of the United States. That's unbelievable. Did they say who was the criminals on campus? Any. I'm saying, is it, is it the general criminal public? Are they, are they fellow students? I'm wondering. No, no, no, no, no.

Starting point is 01:40:26 Berkeley is an open, if you've been to Berkeley or been around it, I have. I've seen it. It's a very open campus. Sure, there's security doors and there's gates you have to get through to certain areas with dorms and stuff, but you have homeless people that are there and you have people that are there.

Starting point is 01:40:41 By the way, over in California, because of of the I think it's the thousand dollar rule They just come up and they break the window of the car to take a backpack They think there's a laptop in there that I just found right they can pawn for 200 bucks Oh, yeah, so hold this up. Can you pull this up Rob? If you pull this up so what this is is oh, that's the camp well that you just walk up on the campus Yeah, there's a website on UC Berkeley this is their website this is not anybody else's website okay and this website is crime mapping can you imagine how bad the school is that you have to

Starting point is 01:41:17 crime map oh my god website shown public area mapped areas crime mapping also offers some useful graphs of the data. The University of Berkeley Police Department is pleased to make this resource available to the members of UC Berkeley community while we're working hard to provide accurate and up-to-date information. The data are preliminary and may change upon investigation. All crime locations are as they appear on the map, should be considered approximations and may appear according to

Starting point is 01:41:45 the nearest. So the call types available for display are homicide, manslaughter, robbery, aggravated assault, sex offenses, Rob Gopal, non forcible, forcible and non forcible. Just go for it. Vinny, were you raped? Well, at first. Well, yeah. But then I'll lie.

Starting point is 01:42:07 That's the e-gene territory. Motor vehicle theft, arson, hate crimes do not have a distinct offense code and therefore cannot be specifically displayed. So add hate crime as well. If I can just sum up what San Francisco or Silicon Valley has turned into this point, Berkeley, it's just crime maps, poop maps, and social media overlords.

Starting point is 01:42:26 Yeah, and that's nine separate. Right, you forgot. And reporters who are deniers. Yeah, like, and again, these are un, Big tech overlords. These are out of touch human beings that don't, they're not there, she's not living there, bro. She has no idea what the hell she's talking about.

Starting point is 01:42:42 And in the public. She covers Silicon Valley, she's there a lot, she knows exactly what she's talking about. But what I'm saying is, I'm saying she's talking about and a lot she covers Silicon Valley. She's there a lot She knows exactly what I'm saying is I'm saying she's probably secured She's having security on her ass as well Tom. So she's not really affected because the majority students She probably lives in a protected Of course, so that this is it's just out of touch people that until Tom I'm telling you guys it's and I don't wish it on people But I'd rather have somebody that pushes for like an open border

Starting point is 01:43:07 Lakin Riley's poor family has to deal with that shit It shouldn't be somebody like like an innocent family It should be the people that are promoting this open border that that shit should happen to them So if anything happens to these people should be happen to the ones that are pushing for this stupid ass narrative nothing's wrong Meanwhile Bitcoin hits $71,000 as UK opens the door to crypto exchange of traded products. This is CNBC story. And while that happens, micro strategy, Michael Saylor, as if he didn't already have enough Bitcoin, I think he had 205,000, he has 205,000 Bitcoins. You talk to most people, they'll say, I have one Bitcoin, I have a half a Bitcoin, I have a third of a Bitcoin. This guy's got a hundred, 205,000 bitcoins

Starting point is 01:43:50 or two, more than $14 billion. So what does this guy do? Just yesterday, he buys 12 more thousand bitcoins for 822 million dollars. At what price point? 70,000? He bought it at, normally they'll put the price, but I mean, you just got to divide it point 70,000 he bought it at normally they'll put the price money just got it divided but yeah, he bought 12 more thousand bitcoins. You know what he's saying? He's saying this thing's going to a quarter of a million and he's not. He's definitely putting his money where's Tom, what do you think is going on with Bitcoin? You think that a part of this is that the halving coming up in April or June? What do you think is causing the spike? So I think there's two things causing the spike.

Starting point is 01:44:28 And the first thing is we're in election year and we have a lot of uncertainty around economic leadership. You bought it at $68,500. Okay, wow. So I think the first is not I think, I know the first one is you look at all the crypto people, whenever there's uncertainty, they run to crypto and then crypto runs up on demand.

Starting point is 01:44:45 So people are demanding goes up. What's bringing uncertainty? Right now, there's a lot of discussion about, well, interest rates are going to stay up for a while. We don't know who the economic leadership is going to be. There's an election. You know, who's it going to be? Adam and Tom are making a bet on Biden or not. There's all these things that you can check the boxes of, there's a lot of uncertainty. And additionally, it doesn't look like interest rates are coming down. I mean, U.S. consumer price index didn't look too bad. Now you've got next week on the 19th, 20th, J Powell and the Fed, don't look like they're going to lower rates. And so it's creating a run to what they, the old, old world was you would run to the dollar because it was

Starting point is 01:45:26 the world reserve currency and it was stable. It was the more stable. Now you have a group of people that are running toward crypto because they think it's, you can't print more, right? You can't just decide you're going to print a trillion crypto to fictitious example, fund a war, you know, pay a bunch of people when you lock them down, you can't do that. So they feel that the limited supply secures the value, just like the dollar on the gold standard had in theory a limited supply way, way, way back when. And so between limited supply and people demanding it and the face of economic uncertainty. And remember, it's the Bitcoin guys that are saying, you know what, you know, 5,000, 5,000 S&P,

Starting point is 01:46:10 that's making me kind of nervous. I think it's a bubble. You see those headlines, Pat, right? They're all worried. All of that causes everyone to run to crypto because they think it's a storehouse of safety. And when there's more demand, the price goes up. Look, Bitcoin's back, baby. If you're an investor, if you figured out a way to get out of debt

Starting point is 01:46:32 and to stack some cash and save that money, and you've been what I talk about going from red to yellow to green, like a traffic light, and you come an investor, it's been a very good year for you. We saw the S and P 500 go up 25% this past year. Um, when they were expecting a recession, Bitcoin, uh, when did they hit their all time high? Or when, when did they hit last couple of days ago? No, no, meaning like prior to that, it was probably 2021. So 62, 64th the time. Yeah. Bitcoin is, is, um, all time high right now. I think they basically said that Bitcoin's rally is creating 1500 millionaire wallets daily. So if you hotel,

Starting point is 01:47:14 you know, a hold or hotel hang on for dear life and you basically didn't sell, you should be sitting pretty right now with Bitcoin. I love, I gotta give a shout out to Michael sailor. He's been on the podcast. How times three times two three times every time he's come here I bought a Bitcoin luckily I got in at 15 20 and then oh, I'm gonna kick my friend's ass He's like wait till the Bitcoin having it's gonna go down more. Yeah, you were wrong buddy It's 70,000 right now pissed should have bought more, but thankful I got in when I did. And for all the Bitcoin enthusiasts, congratulations. Sailor took a lot of heat. Was it like a 10 months ago?

Starting point is 01:47:51 I gotta give him the conviction. He did. Big heat, but he's got conviction and I respect the fact that he's got that kind of conviction. By the way, right now there's 1500 Bitcoin wallet millionaires right now. 1500. That's what's happening daily. Okay. Bitcoin rally is creating around 1500 million our wallets daily. Correct. What is doing right now? Okay. Next. So fireworks, George Stepanopoulos, very weird, by the way, I don't know what happened here. Rob, if you can pull this clip up. So Stepanopoulos battles Nancy Maze and explosive showdown about her backing up Trump, and despite the jury finding he's liable for rape, this is obviously a media item, so the story that's

Starting point is 01:48:31 being written, but watch this exchange, and a lot of people are asking for George to have to apologize after this, but go ahead and play this, Rob. Yes, this morning. You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape. How do you score your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw? Well, I will tell you, I was raped at the age of 16.

Starting point is 01:48:58 And any rape victim will tell you, I've lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame over being raped. I didn't come forward because of that judgment and shame that I felt. And it's a shame that you will never feel, George, and I'm not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim. I'm not going to do that. It's actually not about shaming you. It's a question about Donald Trump. No, you are shaming me. You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Donald Trump has been found liable for rape by a jury.

Starting point is 01:49:29 Donald Trump has been found liable for defaming the victim of that rape by a jury. It's been affirmed by a judge. It was not a criminal court case, number one, number two. I live with shame. And you're asking me a question about my political choices trying to shame me as a rape victim And I find it disgusting and quite frankly E Jean Carols comments when she did get the judgment joking about what she was gonna buy

Starting point is 01:49:54 It doesn't it makes it harder for women to come forward when they make a mockery out of rape when they joke about it It's not okay to come forward when they make it harder when other women joke about it. It's not okay. It's not okay. It makes it harder when other women joke about it. And she's joked about it. I find it offensive. And I also find it offensive that you're trying to shame me with this question. I'm not trying to shame you. You are.

Starting point is 01:50:13 Well, in fact, I've held you candid. I have dealt with this for 30 years. You know how hard it was to tell my story five years ago when they were doing a fetal heartbeat bill and there were no exceptions for rape, incest, or rape or incest in there? I had to tell my story because no other woman

Starting point is 01:50:25 was coming forward. No rape victims were represented. And you're trying to shame me this morning. And I find it offensive and this is why women won't come forward. Women won't come forward because they're defamed by those who perpetrate rape. They are judged and they're shamed

Starting point is 01:50:39 and you're trying to shame me this morning. I think it's disgusting. I'm not shaming you at all. I told you the rapes. It took me 25 years to tell my story. I was judged for it. I still get judged for it today. I'm asking youaming you at all. I told you the rage. I told my story. It took me 25 years to tell my story. I was judged for it. I still get judged for it today. I'm asking you a very simple question.

Starting point is 01:50:49 Vinnie. Well, I just, by the way, I just love, by the way, Stephanopoulos, he's the Clinton family hack left this. And again, no apology. If that was anybody else, he'd be cancer because he's actually is shaming her. But the fact that he's bringing about an EG Carol, I don't believe a single word that comes out of that psychotic woman's mouth.

Starting point is 01:51:09 He's going, you know, he's stating that the legal system sometimes found him liable. If anything that we've learned over this past two years, especially with Trump, I have zero trust in our legal systems because they're all bought and paid for by the political left, and they could do whatever the hell they want with it. I've never had respect for this guy, and I lost, even if I had an ounce of it, I lost

Starting point is 01:51:28 a bit more, he should 100% apologize to her. He's trying to make it political. Tom. She was actually raped. Yeah. Look, he had one objective for this interview, corner her. That was the objective for the interview. And the producer in his ear was coaching him, saying, look,

Starting point is 01:51:46 corner her on supporting Trump, who has had these things in court, corner her. And so he does that. And then he pursues it. And he ends up looking like a complete prick, because she had a very strong retort based on personal feelings that no one can counter because that's her Experience that's what happened to her crime was committed against her and this guy kept pressing the point and I think that would just shows

Starting point is 01:52:15 How desperate he was to just make the point and corner Trump and he didn't care what he did to her He didn't care what happened and now it looks pretty bad on the reflection of public opinion and objective analysis after it's over I'm trying to think of where I've heard this name Peggy mace was it it's a Nancy mace. She's in Congress. She's exactly well when you first heard her name she was one of the few members that aligned with Matt Gaetz to get Kevin McCarthy ousted as the Speaker of the House. And she, I believe, was one of the... Her district is Charleston, South Carolina, which is a charming place that typically goes blue. But she's a Republican. She was elected there. And I remember going down the path of like,

Starting point is 01:53:05 who is this woman? Why did she align herself with Matt Gaetz? She's pretty moderate in the Republican side of things. She was actually the first woman to graduate from the Citadel Corps of Cadets program. She served in the military. She's a beast. She's a-

Starting point is 01:53:18 Elite leadership. Yeah, elite leadership right there. Horrible to see her story, horrible to see what Stephanopoulos tried to do to her, and we'll see what happens to him, likely nothing. But you know what it is? It's just a turnoff. That's all it is. You know, you're bringing somebody in, you brought them in because they were going to talk about what their current agenda is, and you flipped it and you put this about her against Trump. And it's something you can choose to do and when you choose to

Starting point is 01:53:46 do that you can also have the heat that you get from the marketplace saying that was a classless act and you know what good for you for Nancy, for standing up for yourself, respect to you and George you get to choose how you want to handle this moving forward because your organization claims they're big on theI, and they claim they're big on women power, and Me Too and all this stuff. This woman actually went through it. The only problem is, does DEI apply to Republican women, white women, or is it just like Democratic?

Starting point is 01:54:16 I wonder what those, I haven't read fully all the criterias of what George and his camp follow when it comes onto DEI. I'd be curious enough to white Republican women that vote for Trump also fall in that category. Maybe I'm wrong, but he will have to decide how he's going to respond to that. So let's go to the next story. Next story is fire department looking into Stanford booed New York Attorney General Latisha

Starting point is 01:54:39 James cheered for Trump at ceremony. Rob, if you can pull this up. Weird, weird story here. So can you imagine you're working for the fire department and somebody's rooting for Trump and booing Letitia James, and this happens. Go ahead, Rob. They're booing her, as they should. Oh, come on, we're in a house of God.

Starting point is 01:55:06 First, simmer down. I want to thank Commissioner Kavanaugh and Chief Hodgins for their recognition. They're chanting Trump? Good. Can you imagine? So let me continue reading what happens here. So the fire department is investigating staffers who booed Leticia James and cheered for Trump during a promotion ceremony with spokesperson Jim

Starting point is 01:55:32 Long clarifying. Nobody can you do you have the clip that says haunting them down or no? Nobody is hunting anyone down. It's about professionalism at an official event, helping the House of Worship. Fire Department, New York Chief of Department department John Hodgins emphasized the need for individuals involved to come forward Voluntarily stating I recommend they come forward. It will be better for them if they come forward and we don't have to hunt them down That's what he said. We don't have to hunt them down the incident occurred during a ceremony honoring the swearing in of the first African American woman obtained of the

Starting point is 01:56:05 fire department, New York, a Reverend Pamela Holmes, uh, prompting James to dress the crowd. Oh, come on. We're in a house of God. Simmer down. Thank you for getting it out of your system. That's what she said. Vinnie. By the way, notice this, Patrick, there's an investigation for people that were booing her and guess what's going to happen to them're gonna investigate they probably get fired and if she could if it's up to this this I Hate her so much They'll go to jail right meanwhile those illegal Venezuelans that beat to share the New York City cops They were arrested released and they're not filing anything not going after them at all

Starting point is 01:56:41 They're in a they're in a migrant camp back in New York got God doing God knows what it's like. What, what are we even talking about? You, we all know what she's doing. We all know who she's working for. We all know her agenda is to get rid of Trump. And just because a couple of cops that are pro Trump, because guess what? The working man is for Trump. She's going to go after them, like hunt them down. She's, she's a disgusting human being. Adam, well, it's not a couple of people. It sounded like they're going to have to go hunt down hundreds of fired fighters. Okay. Not cops, firefighters. So it wasn't a couple different dispersing voices, combo couple of claps. It sounded like a resounding boo

Starting point is 01:57:18 for her and a loud vocal Trump, Trump, Trump from the audience. So I don't see how you go after dozens, if not hundreds of firefighters. Cause at the end of the day, a firefighter's job is to make sure the city don't burn down. So I don't think anything is going to happen from this. I think it's all rhetoric. But what happens after anybody, but if she finds out, let's say she gets 20 names, what is she doing? Nothing. No, but she, she's looking for them to investigate. What are you going to say? Fire them. She's like, this is in subordination.

Starting point is 01:57:49 That would be ridiculous and absurd. And unfortunately, you may be par for the course for this woman. What about New York in itself? It wouldn't surprise me. First of all, this is Leticia James on message doing what she does. There is nothing to be surprised about here There is everything to be outraged about the way she does it point one point two is Right now the New York Police Department and the New York Fire Department are having trouble recruiting people

Starting point is 01:58:19 So I don't see how you take people exercising freedom of choice who boo and make a point known when they're having trouble recruiting people. And I think what happened is she got pissed off, walked off stage and goes to the head of the fire department, says, I don't like this crap. I don't like that they booed me here. Why didn't you prepare this? This is wrong We're just trying to put the first African-American a female chaplain You know there and since it's a chaplain they held it in a house of worship because she's gonna be ordained

Starting point is 01:58:54 What the hell man? Why didn't you prep these people up go find out who booed knock some heads? I think it's that simple. Yeah, because that's her playbook That doesn't surprise me it outrages me, but it doesn't surprise me. And remember one thing about firefighters? Everybody loves firefighters. They're not polarizing like the police. Now we saw the debacle that was defund the police and the anti police movement. It was, which was ridiculous. And we've seen how police departments have had to lower their standards to just recruit people. And you like guns? Here's a uniform. You're fat, sloppy, out of shape. You know, the typical Dunkin Donut eating, you know, Simpson's character of cops. That is now unfortunately some of the standard that they have to basically

Starting point is 01:59:38 apply because a lot of people aren't trying to be cops. And basically they can't recruit anymore. The last thing you need to do is lower your standards for firefighters Everybody loves. Yeah, I'm speaking of UFC. I remember a year ago. We were at the UFC. There was a New York NYPD guy that came up to us. Oh big fan, whatever. Yeah, and he basically told us a quick story sort of anecdotally He's like, dude, it's horrible. It's horrible. What's happening here. I'm trying to get the hell out of this thing. And recruitment is an all time low. They can't sustain people. The last thing we need to do is start dwindling the numbers of the people that protect our communities, the police and the firefighters. So thank you guys for your service. Yep. And

Starting point is 02:00:20 by the way, she is aligned, but she ain't best buddies with Eric Adams. And Eric Adams is gonna have to deal with reelection. And Eric Adams is already in trouble. We all know he is in trouble. When that election comes up, everything in New York, that guy's in deep trouble. And now you wanna parade a bunch of firefighters being fired and have a rally in the steps of City Hall

Starting point is 02:00:46 That is the last thing Eric Adams wants or needs So this is also indicative of the incredible dysfunction That is in front of the New York voters as they look at these the people we voted for and this is what we got Well, guess what you guys have a choice next time at the ballot box voted for and this is what we got. Well, guess what? You guys have a choice. Next time at the ballot box, you guys have a choice. And remember, Eric Adams was a former NYPD police officer. Yeah. And the fire department union and the police department union are joined at the hip when they negotiate with the city. By the way, this is this is why Trump is saying that he made campaign in New York. He's convinced he could win New York.

Starting point is 02:01:26 Because what happened is if you think about Lee Zeldin, right, it was a close call, guys. It wasn't like- It was Kathy Hockel for the gubernatorial race. No, don't be wrong. Kathy won, but it was still a close. Can you pull up the Zeldin, Kathy Hockel race? I think she won by 8%, or I don't know what the exact number,

Starting point is 02:01:43 but it was a win. You're not wrong, Pat. You're not wrong. Okay, 8%, there you go. I think she won by 8% or so. I don't know what the exact number but it was it was a win, huh? You're not wrong. Okay. Eight percent there you go. So wow 8% but that's not wrong. That's not that's New York We're talking about exactly least so Trump thinks he's going to win New York by It's New York. Oh my talk Schumer. Oh, yeah, he wins New York. They're gonna lose their shit if he wins New York, oh my. Chuck Schumer, oh god. If he wins New York, they're gonna lose their shit if he wins New York. So, go to what the numbers were. Biden versus Trump in 2020.

Starting point is 02:02:12 They don't like the L word if Trump wins. Lesbian? Landslide. Oh. No, they like that one. They like Lesbians. Sorry, talk about my brain. What does it mean?

Starting point is 02:02:21 61 to 38. That's New York, 2020. Okay, but a lot has changed obviously in, that's New York, 2020. Okay, but a lot has changed obviously in four years. New York is... Look at that state. Yeah, and by the way, look at 2016 was by 27. Look at Long Island.

Starting point is 02:02:34 So he won by how many? Can we say 32? So he won by 22. In 2016, they won by 27. Where do you see it? In 2012, they won by 22. Yeah. In 2016, they won by 27. What do you see in 2012? They won by 32. And in 2000, so it went from 32 to 32 to 27 to 22. Wow. Okay. So now by eight, Lee Zeldin governor loses by eight. So Trump and his camp, if they win New York, let me tell you,

Starting point is 02:03:02 that's gonna be game changer? It's gonna be wild. So I think when the fire department is calling out Letitia James and they're fearless about it, the element of fearlessness going on in New York, when it comes up to things like this, settle down, settle down, get it out of your system, settle down. She sounds like an actress from a movie representing the establishment,

Starting point is 02:03:23 coming in to give a speech and it's not happy that the people don't like her. Yeah. And that, you mind you guys, Adam, you mentioned the fire department and the police. I don't care what anybody says. And NYPD is the most revered, just think 9-11 and what those guys are sacrificing. They all hate this attitude, bro. They are all pro-Trump.

Starting point is 02:03:44 They can't out loud come and say it because that's their leadership, but they're, trust me, they got Trump's back, bro. They are all pro-Trump. They can't out loud come and say it because that's their leadership, but they're, trust me, they got Trump's back, bro. All right, let's go to the... By the way, last word on Lee Zeldin. Remember, Lee Zeldin is not a Republican on the sideline waiting to jump on the Trump bad wagon. He's on it. He is on it, and he's campaigned for Trump recently, and he was even rumored to be part of the cabinet or more.

Starting point is 02:04:01 Yeah. So let's go to the next door here. So, Boyn whistleblower, John Barnett, found dead days after testifying against company. 62 years old died from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot. I'm not laughing at that. No, it's not funny, but if you say Hello, Clint's name in the story, a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Saturday Barnett was cross examined by

Starting point is 02:04:27 Boeing's lawyer and his attorney days before he died, the court planned for Barnett to answer more questions on Saturday, but he did not appear as planned. The BBC reported that he was later found dead in his truck, which was parked in a hotel parking garage. Barnett was employed by Boeing for over three decades before retiring in 2017. He worked as a quality control engineer at the company in 2019. Barnett told BBC that Boeing would rush to get a 787 Dreamliner jets off the production line, compromising safety, alleged emergency oxygen systems that were made for 787 Dreamliners had a failure rate of

Starting point is 02:05:07 25%. 25%. This means that a quarter to 787 Dreamliners had the potential to rapidly lose oxygen if the cabins were suddenly decompressed, suffocating passengers. What? Vinny, did you have a video you send you want the audience to see? Yeah, I sent sent so there's two of them past so first of all there's an Al Jazeera sent an undercover reporter into a plant in South Carolina mind you guys these are the people making the airplane and he's asking them would you fly on this airplane I'm not trying to laugh at the situation is actually scary Rob can you please play what these people were saying once they're inside? So hang on, this is Al Jazeera asking, how do you make the plane crash? I'm asking for

Starting point is 02:05:50 a friend? Yeah, no, what this is, they're basically just asked, they're just, would you fly this plane? Yeah, would you, would you be in that? Would you be a passenger in this plane that you are building as we speak in this plan? Go ahead, Rob. Rob No Okay, so okay, so by the way 15 workers none of them would fly on it But going back to John Barnett guys so as we all know Boeing planes have been falling apart the doors have been flying off Tyres are falling off by the mid-flight just yesterday Airlines flight 830 from Sydney to SFO started leaking fuel and somebody recorded it

Starting point is 02:06:33 They had to turn back around and land the mind you Boeing and United both employed DEI practices So I wouldn't I wouldn't wonder why but going back to John Barnett guys He worked for 30 years on the 787 dreamliner, the one that's having all these problems. All right. So in 2017 he started taking legal action and he was alleging that the plane isn't being built when the plane isn't being built fast enough. The employees started getting scrap metal from broken parts, like a bin to use that, that the plane gets done in time. Okay, and Pat, you mentioned

Starting point is 02:07:06 the oxygen tanks, one quarter of them would fail. So it's been going on for, since 2007, he did a deposition with Boeing's lawyers on Friday, Saturday, under oath. And then Saturday, he's found dead in his car, self-inflicted gun. Like Like dude, what did he tell them is what I'm curious. The thing that bothers me, I let Rob play what he said on TMZ here in a second. It's so obvious guys. Let's be real. This isn't a conspiracy. This is beyond coincidence.

Starting point is 02:07:35 We all know what happened. Somebody somehow allegedly with Boeing said, guys, go and that guy's life. You think so? Adam always always says don't say 100% Explain to me how he's in the middle of this He just got deposed by their lawyers and then he what because he can't handle the truth He shoots himself in his car. That's bullshit This is exactly like the movie if you guys haven't seen it go watch Michael Clayton with George Clooney, one of my favorite movies ever of all time. Phenomenal acting from everybody. A guy, a lawyer finds out that a big pharmaceutical company killed thousands of people knowingly.

Starting point is 02:08:14 They hid the, they hid the research and he wants to go public. The pharmaceutical company hires two hit men to kill him and make it look like a, like a suicide. It's blatantly obvious and the only thing's lonely sad thing in three days, nobody's going to talk about this. And this is, this is what he told TMZ Pat about, about, uh, Boeing. How long ago is this? Uh, this is recently. Okay. Go ahead, Rob. This is not a seven three seven problem. It's a Boeing problem. Um, and I know the FAs going in and they've done due diligence and inspections to assure that the door plugs of the 737 are

Starting point is 02:08:49 installed properly and the fasteners are stored properly. But my concern is what's the rest of the airplane? What's the rest of the condition of the airplane? And the reason my concern for that is back in 2012 Boeing started removing inspection operations off their jobs. So it left the mechanics to buy off their own work. So what we're seeing with the door plug blowout is what I've seen with the rest of airplane, as far as jobs not being completed properly,

Starting point is 02:09:22 inspection of steps, being removed, issues being ignored. My concerns are with the 737 and the 787 because those programs have really embraced the theory that quality is overhead and non-value added. So those two programs have really put a strong effort into removing quality from the process. So, so here's my, Rob, I mentioned this when we first started talking about it. It's only a matter of time. Cause what, what, what's Boeing going to do? Stop all these flights?

Starting point is 02:09:55 They're, no, they're not. They, I don't know what's going to happen. It doesn't look good because every week something else is happening. It's a matter of time to one of these things crashes, bro. I'm shocked. What's Boeing, Boeing stock has to be going down, right? Let's take a look. Oh my god I like Adam. Are you flying anything Boeing 787? That's the majority of their and you go five days Let's see what five days looks like I'd like to go dude. Look at that. Are you crazy? Yeah, yeah, go go to a year

Starting point is 02:10:24 Okay, that's what it should are. You guys trying to go on bowling right now or any Boeing flight? I'm not. It peaked in what January 24. So the biggest thing to me is that Boeing has been more concerned about their share price going up than their plane staying up. So it's, you know, John Oliver did an amazing expose on Boeing during his show. And, you know, he highlighted some of the Al Jazeera things. They left off some of the stuff in the clip. They interviewed that guy, the best part they left out and whatever clip you found, they interviewed all those guys. One guy was like, hell, no, I'm flying those planes. One guy said the quality is going down to shit. Another guy

Starting point is 02:11:03 called it sketchy. One guy goes, yeah, I'd fly, but I kind of have a death wish. That's what one guy said. Crazy. Literally. So what happened with Boeing has been a slow drip, but they've been concerned. You know, their theme in 2021 was called more for less. And all, all a move to have all Boeing employees basically be part of the stock price. It was quote unquote, all Boeing employees play an important role in improving shareholder value. What happened after the Trump tax cuts cuts as they called it in 2018, I think was $2 trillion tax cut, Boeing like many other companies, what do you think they did? They basically did a stock buyback.

Starting point is 02:11:59 So there was a $20 billion stock buyback program CEO Dave Calhoun, Callahan sorry, 92% of operating cash flow went to stock buybacks. They didn't go to checking more part. Yeah, Dave Calhoun, there he is right there. They didn't go to checking more parts. They didn't go to more security. They didn't go to better quality control. They went to shareholders security. They didn't go to a better quality control. They went to shareholders pockets. Okay. So where does that lead? Now, if you want to talk about the plane crashes that have existed since Boeing specifically the 737 Indonesian flight 189 crashes to the sea, never found weird, never found Ethiopian Airlines flight 737 was a Boeing 737. No survivors. What happened there? Since then the FAA grounded all Boeing 737s. There's clearly a concern

Starting point is 02:12:56 of what's going on here. You talk about this whistleblower, this guy, John Barnett. Yeah. There's another whistleblower, Ed Pearson, whistleblower who has urged managers to shut down the factory. Here's my last point. A lot of people are saying, well, what the hell do you want me to do at this point? I gotta fly. You know, there's two main airline,

Starting point is 02:13:15 airplane manufacturers in America here around the world. There's Boeing and then there's Airbus. So you have sites like Kayak that you can literally do a dropdown box and finally choose which type of Airplane manufacturer to choose from so And then let's not forget the reason we're even talking about this What was it Alaska flight where the door just fell off that was this Boeing? It was exactly 787 so something's going on here with Boeing they're cutting corners and they're more concerned with their shares than actual flight safety.

Starting point is 02:13:50 But going back to the main story, if we can, and I want to ask all three, but actually I Rob, I want to know you too. So John Barnett, what percentage he was abstained. Yeah. Well, think about, and I'm being, I'm being genuine right now. God rest his soul like he's coming forward Putting on blast a hundred and twenty billion dollar company. That's declining in price. He does a deposition What is the percentage that Boeing? Boeing paid people to somehow have him killed in a vehicle and make it look like suicide Yeah, I'll give you guys mine after you guys. Tom. I can't put a percentage on it, but I'm...

Starting point is 02:14:26 Yeah, you can. What do you think? Highly unlikely? Likely? Where you at? The timing makes me highly suspicious, right? How can you not be suspicious when a guy is whistle-blowing and you see the interviews with him, he doesn't seem like a hippie from Marin County saying nonsensical

Starting point is 02:14:45 things. He sounded like a pretty cogent guy. If you had to pick a number, Tom, if you had to pick a percentage. Here's what bothers me about it when I look at it objectively. He's already been filmed and all this deposition stuff is out. So this is in court. They don't care. He only had one more day of deposition. Yeah. To get the job done, he's already got the job done for this court case.

Starting point is 02:15:10 If you're gonna investigate Boeing and you're gonna take FAs, gonna take action against them. And so he only had a half a day of testimony left. If you're gonna take care of a whistleblower, you take care of a whistleblower long before they ever get to court and put things in writing evil doesn't care time. That's where I was going with this is if they were going to do this

Starting point is 02:15:30 They would have done it before he testified but they just testified to them. Hold on. I just wanted a percentage I didn't need I didn't need speeches guys. I just want to know the percentage that you think I don't need a diatribe Welcome to the Vincent O'Shaughness show guys I just asked you, I just asked the number. Tom said he doesn't even want to give me the number. I'm saying 95%. They just, you just went from a hundred to 95 in two minutes. Did I say a hundred percent? You did.

Starting point is 02:15:55 Did I add Tom? No, he said, thank you. Adam says, don't go 100%. Yeah. I said, Adam says, we'll get, that's fake news, which I, you said Adam says, don't go 100%. Where do you, where do you, where do you put it? What do you say that that's a likely scenario? Pat, if you give me, you're saying it's a likely, likely that going did it.

Starting point is 02:16:16 Thank you, Adam. I'm not saying that it's a hundred percent like I'm being a Oshana. My name is not being saying that there, there seems to be a weird coincidence here How high was this guy's ranking like he was a he was in charge of the safety and everything for the quality He won quality manager at the north charleson plant making the 787 dreamliner stated the art so quality manager. What is a quality manager's quality manager a high ranking per quality manager so he's managing the things is he in the room of decisions being made as he's sitting with C-suite is he sitting with board is he talking to influencers how deep into it is he

Starting point is 02:17:00 I don't know but to me listen you have to give credence to the timing of this thing taking place, right? It's just a very strange timing and anytime you hear stories of saying he was found Dead from a self-inflicted wound on March 9th and police is still investigating it I don't know man. This is this is just a little bit weird and creepy on what's going on here And by the way, Boeing has not been, grab, run a report, run a report, poll if you can. And the poll is,

Starting point is 02:17:34 not the poll of, ask the question, does this concern you on your next flight, booking your next flight? 100% a little bit, not at all, okay? Because I just wanna know what people are gonna be at with this, because you know there's already people that are afraid of flying, right?

Starting point is 02:17:56 And the last thing you need for the people that are afraid of flying, to now add this on top of it, and what percentage of planes by airlines flown, what percentage of airlines fly Boeing planes, okay? All of them buy from Airbus and Boeing on an alternative basis, the exception being the the unicarriers. Adam, terrorists. Southwest only buys Boeing 737s so that all their maintenance parts and all of their mechanics

Starting point is 02:18:29 can be trained the same to save money. So Southwest only uses, if you've ever flown Southwest, you know that. It's only. You know, American, American flies the most of the jets as portions fleet nearly one-third of its planes, American Airlines are 737 800 jets. So I mean, okay, did you run the Polarop? Did you run the Polarop? Yes.

Starting point is 02:18:55 And what is it at right now? I'm curious, because I actually wanna know what the markets, out of markets, does Boeing safety issues concern you while booking you? 70. A little bit, not at all 10%. I mean, it should concern you, right? And you can't have people being worried.

Starting point is 02:19:10 So imagine now a person saying, hey, your executive says, I need you to fly to, you know, Chicago to go something done. You know, I gotta tell you, I don't wanna go. Why don't you wanna take the flight? I'm worried about what's going on with the Boeing planes. How does HR handle that?

Starting point is 02:19:22 What kind of an employee, you know what I'm saying? It's a little weird thing that's going on right now that they need to get their act together. What the hell is this? Were people dying of your managers? 32 years that were with you, quality manager working on these planes? It's a little bit, and by the way, I hope they investigate this. I hope they get a little bit deeper to see what's going on here. This is this is a little bit concerning. Anyways, okay, we're at the end of the podcast. We covered a lot of stories today.
