Did you ever think you would make it? I said I'm supposed to take sweet victory. I know this life meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever size. Right here. You are a one of one?

My son's right there. I think I've ever said this before. All right. All right, folks, 9 a.m. sharp. Look at that. We got to cover this redistricting, this gerrymandering, this California, Chicago, Illinois. You got to see the history of gerrymandering. What the hell is gerrymandering about?

How do they come up with the name? How often can they redistrict? There's all these details about these things, and some states do it better than others. Newsom's now threatening Trump twice going after him, telling him what Abbott has done is absolutely uncalled for. And then last night, we get the Senate hearing for Texas approving the new congressional map orders. by Trump after everybody left and could potentially replace five new seats with one of them being representative

Jasmine Crockett which is something you ought to know about that's why this redistricting thing right now is something that everybody is talking about and Newsom is using this as usual politically to make it seem like if they do redistricting California it's because of Trump not because he ever wanted to do it of course he would never want to do such a thing

it's all because of Trump's fault so we'll cover that Never let a good crisis go to waste, I believe. There's a few other things that we have to discuss as well. He was already doing it. Outside of that, D.C. sending national security. Some people are saying, wait a minute, why are we sending national security? And in morning, Joe, Joe Scarborough, is caught trying to read this text from a liberal in D.C. That is an extremely liberal guy that's in D.C.

Talking about how unhappy he is with safety in D.C. You can tell he's uncomfortable wanting to read it. either Joe was uncomfortable wanting to read it or his producers or don't read it and he read it anyways. Either way, good on him for reading it. I'll show it to you here in a minute. I don't know what's going on with Candice, Nick Fuentes, Tucker, Elon got involved.

There's a bunch of things going on there. Who do you believe? I believe him. I believe her. I believe I'm with him. Either way, there's a lot of it going on and people get involved. Elon jumped into it as well, so we're going to have to respond to that and give some thoughts. Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling in a state.

Could this become a federal thing? Because that is a state, who knows? Wall Street stunned as inflation defies odds on tariffs. And everybody said, oh, my God, you know, it's going to tell you. The inflation is going to go out because of tariffs. It's not happening. Then next one is Elon Musk and Sam Altman engaged in a fierce war of words on X.

All you need to know is you see Sam Altman retweets at Elon because Elon's threatening to sue Apple because X is not showing up or Grock has not shown up on the app downloads. I think it's X that's not showing up and they're not happy about it. But then Sam had some stuff to say. Trump defense taking 15% cut of Nvidia,

AMD chip sales to China. Tom's got a lot of thoughts on that. Harry Enten from CNN admits Trump has the best political instinct he's ever seen. The good news is Harry's very young, but it's been a long time that he's been seeing this. So great. We'll see what he has.

say about it. Trump, Russia. Trump criticizes Zelensky over Ukraine land swap objections amid Putin talks and European leaders planned to meet with Trump before Putin talks. That's a Wall Street Journal's story. They're worried that you know, look, we just want you to know

please when you meet with Putin, don't invite him to be part of NATO and what are your motives, what are your intentions? They're worried about it. Trump takes extraordinary actions to push bloodshed and Bidium in D.C. By seizing control of local police on Leachian National Guard. Pete Hexit said he's ready for it. Middle class residents of

Demran City say they're trapped in unsellable homes surrounded by drug markets. Tom's got some thoughts on that. Well, of course, going to talk about the redistricting. California City approves $100,000 dollar fund to help migrants pay rent. Oh my goodness. Just brilliant when you think about that. Ready for this next one? Folks in real estate or those I want to buy, you may want to listen to this. Fed governor maintains outlook for three interest cuts in 2025. What? Not just one? Not two. Three? Is this like the LeBron James of interest rate cuts? Not one. Yeah. Who knows? Who knows? That's right. Six, I believe. Yeah, he said you kept going, but obviously he's been wrong for a long time. I'm taking my talents to the Fed.

Comer. Bill Clinton prime suspect in Epstein investigation. And then we got a few other story. Bill Maher had Drew Barry Moran from 50 first dates or Poulterguise, whatever movie you remember her from. Or E.T. Or Fierstarter. Okay, let's stop. Fire starter. Five years old.

Let's stop. Her and Adam Sandler were good friends. Maybe they're still good friends. Yeah, they probably are. Bill Maher says the Vue co-hosts are not the best advertisement for women in blunt criticism. And last but not least, this is the story I want to talk about. My brain was breaking. Former right-wing, tradwife.

A blast, abusive, male. power. All right. So that's Adam's story, which makes sense. And then we got a few other stories here that we'll get into if we have the time. We have a shot clock up here, folks. You don't see it. But that is specifically for Adam. And it's angled in a way for Adam to see to what's your point. We should call it the, what's your point shot clock. Now, all right, let me get to you guys and tell you what we're doing on August 27. Get your calendars out and put this in your calendar. on August 27. This is kind of like August 27.

Dad, 9-Temmen headquarters. Yeah. And D. La-la-la-la-la-la. Okay, that's, guys, that's just, when you were young and you heard these commercials. Persians will get it. You can't get it out of you.

August 27th. At our property here, okay, in a hangar, at our, you know, property that we have in Fort Lauderdale, our headquarters, we're holding a special networking opportunity. A lot of you guys keep saying, Pat, I'm going to. I want to come see the property. I want to come see the property. Most people don't know this. We're building the biggest footsall field right now. That is 3,000 square feet bigger than the biggest footsall field. The traditional ones that you see, we're building one right now. Scott's about to be done. Footsall field. Anyways, the people that know, they know. It's a soccer field. I don't

understand. Yeah, no, no, listen. So we're building it here. We're doing a bunch of different things on our property. We want to give some of the people an opportunity to come and see the property. And some of you guys, I want to give you a tour when you come down here. So here's what we're doing. August 27, anybody that's bought a vault ticket that's going to the vault conference, that's out of South Florida, you can be from anywhere if you want to come participate, but specifically for the people that are in Florida, if you bought a ticket, general, you're invited, our team will give you a, you'll be able to network with others. Platinum and executive ticket holders, you're going to get a tour of the entire property. Founder and CO ticket holders, I'm going to

give you a tour to property. Myself. I'm going to show you exactly everything that we're doing here, but you have to be a ticket holder. And if you haven't bought the tickets yet, you have to see what we're going to have our center car outside the Formula One that we bought the 1989 one. We have a lot of things you'll see what we're doing behind closed doors. This year's Vol Conference is going to be absolutely epic. If you're somebody that's got big plans, second half of you, I keep telling this to people, do not go through this year by yourself. This is the worst year to go into 2026 without getting the strategy. that others are having. By far, the worst. Whether it's AI, human nature, real estate, insurance,

finance, raising capital, networking with others, myself, Tony Robbins, Martha Stewart, David Falk at the number one business conference of the year that teaches you what to do when you leave. It's not like RRA motivation. Here's how we do this. 300-page manual that will be given to everybody. If you haven't yet bought your ticket, go to the vaultconference.com, buy your ticket. Then, Rob, if you can put the link below for the people that have already bought a ticket, because you got a register because it's only for the first 200. We're not doing it with 2,000 people showing up here. First 200 register, locked in.

That's it. Each person that bought a ticket, you'll get to bring one person with you to see the tour, whether they have a ticket or not, it's not a problem. But the first 200 register, you'll be able to come join us. You just have to prove to us that you bought a ticket, and our team will verify that, Rob. What is the link for them to go to register for this? Is there a link that you have for it?

It's actually pinned inside of the chat on YouTube. Okay, but is there a link for it for people that are only listened to audio? Like if it's in different places. Not that I'm aware of. I can look and find it. Well, I would say maybe send an email to info at vt.com. Send an email to info at vt.com and they'll send back over to you. But if you don't, it's a link on Spotify and on YouTube.

You'll be able to get to it to learn what that is all about. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you here. All right. Let's get right into it. What is gerrymandering? What is redistricting? Why are people losing their minds in the state of Texas? You have the governor, state of Texas.

What's his name? Governor Abbott. Greg Abbott goes out there and they announced that they're going to be redistricting. And they're going to, a lot of people, they're gerrymandering, they're redistricting. And then it goes to vote on the Senate seat, which I believe it's 31 state senators in Texas that have to vote for it. They vote 19 to 2. Nine Democrats are not even there. They left.

Many of them went to Illinois. some of them went to Massachusetts, some of them went to New York. They're complaining about what's going on in the state of Texas. By the way, it was their duty to appear and vote? It was their duty to appear and vote, and they didn't. So is that, like, meaning is it an arrest? Oh, let me tell you what happened. So first of all, Governor Abbott.

What would happen if the cops go on strike? Cops can't go on strike. These are your elected officials went on strike. They went on strike. They left. Okay. One of the ladies even said this is, you know, Hokel called this. I mean, she went off saying things about one of the representatives.

even call this, you know, the Holocaust is what she called it. I'm not even, Jolanda Jones. Can you type in Jolanda, Jolanda Jones, Rob? Jolanda Jones called it a Holocaust. Is that Jolanda Jones? Yes. Okay, watch this one here. This is what she called it.

Go ahead. And then integration happened and everybody thought they accept us. They don't accept us. They are showing us who they are. We should believe them. And we better have the courage to stand up. Otherwise, we will fall for anything. And in this country, we will be defeated, deported,

I mean, we will lose all of our rights. And if you think it can't happen, you can't. And I would like a fake joy. To the Holocaust. She's criticizing citizens of Texas. That elected her. Okay. You got elected.

They don't hate you. There's some number of them elected you, woman. Tom, we got it. So she says Holocaust. Jasmine Crockett is worried because one of the seeds could potentially get her to lose her seat. So then last night they vote. And when they vote, it comes out that Texas Senate. approves the new congressional map ordered, they say, by Trump.

This is obviously not coming by Trump, but they're calling it order by Trump. Because a lot of people are saying they're doing this right before the midterms because they're worried Texas could go blue and may as well do it now before it's too late. So Texas Senate approved the new congressional boundaries on Tuesday with a vote of 19 to 2, aiming to secure five additional Republican seats in the House for the 2026 elections, as pushed for Donald by Donald Trump. That's what they're saying. But House Democrats' absence from Austin

has stalled the Texas House from approving the map for over a week. Nine Senate Democrats walked out, the caucus, and then Senate Democrats labeled the map unconstitutional, but Senate Phil King argued no one has presented data or, frankly, any compelling case that this map violates any applicable laws as the Senate votes proceed.

Now, this is the part to keep in mind. So let's talk about what's gerrymandering and redistricting. The way to look at it is, if you go to, Rob, go to Illinois districts in 1950. Okay, if you go to Illinois districts in 1950, okay? And if you just type in images and you go to it, yeah, go to the one on the top left, the first one that you have. That's what it looked like. And if you zoom in, this is the part that people are kind of a zoom, if you can, okay, do you see how it makes sense because they're all within the same community? you see how all the purple is together

the light blue is all together the brown is pretty much it's the same community this is what it used to be back in a day and what does this mean pat not to cut you off so each of these districts have a representative okay one of the it could be a Democrat or a Republican got you but this is

1950 what Illinois look like can you rock pull it up today has roughly the same number of people that's why you have small ones in cities big ones rule it's about the same number of citizens okay this is the district's today if you come to it and if you can do me a favor for illinois go to district three i think it's district three illinois district three it could be district three or seven they call it and district

nine yeah they call it the earmuffs type in uh type in um earmuffs illinois district earmuffs yeah earmuffs watch this go to images so you notice what you just saw okay click on that vini that's now a district what Yeah. So that's called gerrymandering. So what they do is they split it up to take things like, let's just say if that place is too much Republican in one district. And the representative in that area could end up being a Republican. They'll split it into different districts to have the Republicans be the minority of another district so intentionally lose. So is that cheap?

They call this gerrymandering. The same thing happened in Maryland. Rob, if you go to Maryland District 3. Can you look at Chicago 9 real quick? Yeah, we'll go to that as well. Go to Maryland District 3. Democrats are smart, huh? So go to 7.

Go to Maryland District 7. I just want to see. It's one of the two. There's another one that is extremely weird. We'll show some of these to you guys. Okay, look at that one right there. Do you see how it's cut? Yeah.

It's cut intentionally that way to hurt some of the folks that, like, imagine you cut a Republican county, a community in a certain way to hurt them. You do it this way. Then you win. So now, While we're going through the history of gerrymandering and how this whole thing came about, this goes all the way back to 1800s. There was a governor, I think the governor of Massachusetts.

His name was Elbridge Jerry. Rob, can you type in Elbridge Jerry, G-E-R-R-R-Y? There you go. So this guy is the first guy that understood what redistricting was, and he built a district that looks like a salamander. So type in Elbridge Jerry Salamander. He's the first guy that did it. And he was part of the Democratic Republican Party. Back in the days it was a Democratic Republican Party,

going to the top left, that's the district. He drew that district. Oh, scary. Do you see how he drew that district? He drew a dragon? That's a salamander. The name came from Jerry. And salamander, they called it Jerry Mandering.

This is how the name came about from the 1800s. So it became a brilliant strategy. for a lot of people to use to hurt the opposing party to eliminate competition to be able to push whatever policies you want and in a lot of cases

they say there's three reasons for it. Some of them they do it because it's bipartisan. Both sides are like, I think this is fair. It's okay. It's fair for everybody. Some are partisan

and some of them are like, look, whether you care for it or not, we're doing this anyway. So this is called chaos. Newsome responds at Trump yesterday, multiple times. I think is this the clip about him talking about, but this is different, Rob. This is, oh, is this it? Yeah, this is where he says

fighting fire. Okay, go for it, Rob. Go ahead. Hey, President Trump, it's time to stand down. It's time to make another phone call to Greg Abbott. This time, instead of calling them and telling you're, quote, unquote, entitled to five congressional seats. It's time to tell him to stand down. It's time to recognize that democracy is at risk. It's time to, dare I say, do the right thing. Do the right thing. See how that feels for you doing the right? right thing if you don't california will neutralize anything you do in the state of texas california will continue to punch above its weight we believe in democracy we believe in the enduring values of our founding fathers 249 years we're not going to sit back passively you can pause right there

so that was yesterday then there's another one he puts the second threat which rob if he can go to california will fight fire of fire is probably not the metaphor that gavin news that's true that's true that's a good idea so rob go to go to x real quick So if you go to X right there, that's his last one. TikTok Donald, Texas Governor Demands, California Governor Demands, Texas redistributing push-threatens, ballot measure. So that's the second one. Now, before I go into anything else, I'm going to pause here. Tom, I'm going to come to you here.

What are your thoughts with everything that's going on with redistrict and gerrymandering? I have a bunch of other thoughts on this, why this is so important. But what are your thoughts on this, Tom? Well, welcome to the sausage making that is American politics. have right now, Gavin Newsom, using it to step up and do a peer leadership, a peer presidential, and to do this to put himself in the spotlight. California was already doing it. California Democrats were already moving and Schiff was worried about it because of what was happening in San Diego and Orange County. And if we were to look at how San Diego and Orange County

voted in the presidential election, you can see, and the central states, just get all of them, California district map blue red for the 2024 election. You'll see California was already on red alert because they're entitled Yeah, see, take a look at what was happening here. The entitlement

that the Democrats felt in California was already in the threat. No, right on that one right there, right there. Watch this. Look at the last 20, look at the last four years Finney. So red is Republican, blue is Democrat. Look what's happened in the last four years. Go ahead, Tom. Perfect. And so the Dems were already in red

alert saying, what are we going to do about this? Because their concern was Orange County and San Diego going red. Their concern was like, wow, no, wait, wait, we got real areas here. We need to redistrict these because we can neutralize the 54% red by just moving it around, gerrymandering. They were already going to do it. Then Texas, you know, had its moment and everything. And that became very public as they ran off so that they didn't have to vote and everything abdicating their responsibility and now Gavin Newsom says we will fight fire with fire and I've

already said that's the wrong thing he should be saying but he's already getting ready to do because of that what he's already accusing the other side of doing but they're both doing it and in my view this gets a little crazy because both sides

can be accused of putting their thumb on the scale both sides can be accused of doing this and this This isn't where the fight should be. I think the fight should be over issues. I think Newsom... There's a problem there, Tom.

You know what the problem is? There is no federal jurisdiction on gerrymandering. That's exactly right, which means... It's state by state. Did you understand this? Like, Vinny, they can... Both states can do this forever, and the government has no say in it.

Nothing. That's not right, though. It's not about that. It's not right. They build it this way, and this Elbridge... Jerry figured it out, and others said, well, listen, if he can do it, I'm going to do it. Yeah, of course. So you essentially prevent the other side of winning your state in a long time.

Like it becomes mathematically impossible for you to win. And by the way, the Dems like to talk about threat to democracy. What about those areas and around the airmuffs that now feel underrepresented? They can't win. They can't get the guy elected. So you have a community that 60% wants to elect somebody, but they are manipulated with other voters. So now they're 60% becomes 42%. Do you see what happens?

They keep diluting it. It's like water. Here's hot water, and they just keep diluting it with ice from other areas. So the bad part of gerrymandering is Texas has to do it to block what California is doing, and that is the order that it's happening. It's not Texas instigating right now. This was California was already starting it because the California Dems, led by Schiff and Newsom, were like, hey, man, we got to do something.

The Red's coming. So redlining. gerrymandering, redistricting, this whole conversation is coming up. I think I remember learning about this like an eighth grade. But so what happens is this. Every 10 years they do a census. So Vinny, you've been sort of on the move on what's going on? Illegal immigrants coming through because the census is more people, more districts.

What's going on here? So every 10 years they do a census and where they end up are in certain districts. So every congressman or congresswoman has their district. their quote-unquote neighborhood that they're representing. So gerrymandering, imagine we have a pizza party. We order a pizza. You're with me? And typically, all right, I get a slice, PPD gets a slice, you get as a slice.

Rob, obviously, he's going to get two slices. Tom gets a half a slice. He's low carb. But now it's redistricting and gerrymandering is like, I'll take my slice. I'll take some of your pepperoni. I'm going to take the mushrooms off Tom's pizza. I'm going to throw in some crust. You're like, what happened to my slice, buddy?

that's exactly what's going on here rather than everybody getting a slice redlining is like certain people can't even get a slice F you, F you're cool, you can eat and then redistricting and everything that's going on here is basically throwing pepperoni

throwing mushrooms around. The point is this it's ugly, it's messy, it's musical chairs with your votes and everybody gets a seat in this world. Are they ever going to change? Like is there any way to changes legally? So here's the problem with this. So I looked up to see how often you can gerrymander.

How often you can read this. That's what my next question was going to be. So when you get the census every 10 years, 2020, they give the new census. Some states, you can only gerrymander or redistrict once a decade. And it's like six states. North Carolina is one of them. And it's a few states that you can do it only once every 10 years. Once you do it, stays like that for 10 years.

Okay. And of course, there has to be a vote. and bipartisan, both sides have to agree to it. Some states, yeah, right there. You see, North Carolina can only do it once. Some states, you can do it as many times as you want, Vinny. There's no jurisdiction on how many can do it. You can gerrymandered two times, three times.

Again, there is no federal jurisdiction on this of what can happen with it. Now, the problem with this is the following. Here's California. California's got 52 representatives. Okay. Out of the 52 representatives, you know how many. them are Democrats? 40?

43 are Democrats. Nine are Republicans. 83.7% of California is Democrats. And then you got the 17%. He's threatening Newsom to take it from 17 to 8 is what he's threatening to do.

He being Newsome with Republicans. Because if imagine you got a Jasmine Crockett that may lose her job, which is what just happened right now. She literally may lose her job. There may be a Republican representative that's got a lot of voice in California. that's annoying to people like Newsom, who may also lose his or her job

because of what Newsom could do. Then Pritzker goes on Kristen, what's her name? Kristen Walker from MSNBC. And Kristen Welker, as well as Stephen Colbert. Both call him out. Both of them call him out. Oh, really? Oh, of course. By the way, he looks a little skinny.

Yeah, a little bit. Watch this year. Go ahead. Go ahead. Look, sticking on your state's map, every major group that grades the fairness of congressional map, gives your state an F, common cause and nonpartisan government watchdog, even says your map, and I'm going to quote, represents a nearly perfect model for everything that can go wrong with redistricting. And I guess the question is, you talk about preserving democracy.

How do you preserve democracy if you're using the same tactics that you've criticized Texas Republicans for? But as I say, what they're talking about is a distraction. The reality is that the violation of people's voting. voting rights is what Texas is attempting to do. That's what's wrong with their efforts right now. And the fact that the president of the United States knows it. And nevertheless, is asking them to do it. That is what's wrong with what we're seeing right now. Democracy is at stake. And these Texas Democrats are standing up to what the GOP is at saying. This is a G.B. Pritzker doing his

Kamala Harris impersonation. Do you know what his number is? Do you know what his number is? Do you know what his numbers? For Illinois? Illinois is 84% Democrats. Yeah. 16, 15% Republicans. They have a monopoly on this conversation here. California's got a monopoly. Illinois's got a monopoly. But some people on the Republican side also have monopoly. It's not like this is just a thing that's going on on the left. There's something that goes on on both sides. But this conversation's leading to Florida jumping in and Florida says, look, if you guys are doing it, we may jump in as Now, Florida's saying, you know, his story comes out with Axios. Florida looks to join Trump's redistricting push.

Rob, I don't know if you have this video or not. Florida jumps in. Florida House Speaker, Daniel Perez, announced last week. He will create a select committee to consider drafting a new congressional map aligning with President Trump call for decade redistricting with Governor Ron DeSantis, supporting the effort. Is this it, Rob, go for it. Yes, this is DeSantis talking about.

voter flop here in Florida since 2020. Go ahead. If you had to put a number on, and how many seats do you think Republicans might pick up if, in fact, there was fair redistricting? I don't know, because I think Florida, our Constitution limits, you know, you can't draw snake districts in Florida. They've got to be normal, shape, compact districts. I think it's great.

But I will tell you this. When I got elected governor in 2018, there were 300,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans. Today, there are 1.3 million more registered Republicans than Democrats. The state has grown by many millions of people. Got to give him credit on what he's done with that. So, Tom, I'll give you the final thoughts on this year before we move on to the next door. I think Florida's got a sensible constitution that says, let's not be ridiculous. I think that's what governor just said.

And so I think either we need a federal control or we need the states to voluntarily do this, But guess what? The home of political corruption, the OG of political corruption, has been Chicago and Illinois. If you just go look up the history of America in elections, Mayor Daley and the machine that was there and corruption, and it would represent upsetting the apple cart and just redrawing everything. But I think what people fail to see, the screaming blue states that are talking about this, Pat, are losing citizens. And they're going to lose representatives and they're going to lose electoral votes anyway. And so the people that are crying are the people that are losing citizens by their own policies.

And I think America needs to look at that. Let's take a look at where people are moving to. Got it. Okay. Sounds good. There you have it. So we'll see what I happen there. Next time I want to go to is Elon Musk and Sam Altman.

They engage in a fierce war of words on X. All you need to know. So Elon threatens to sue Apple. Rob, if you have this one here, Elon threatens to sue Apple. Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach number one in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. XAI will take immediate legal action. Now here's a reader's added content.

Rob, what's the reader saying just one month ago on July 18th perplexly reached number one overall in India's App Store? January 2025, Deep Seek reached number one overall on App Store. Both of these occurred over after the Open AI Apple Partnership announced on June 10th of 2024. So maybe there's a correlation between the two. So then Altman responds. And here's what Altman has to say about what's going on because this is a real war going on right now. It's the AI war. And they know who the most powerful person apparently is, whoever they're suing, which is who, Apple.

Apple controls who's getting the love, who's getting the traffic, who's getting all of it going to them. And Sam Alpin comes out and says, wait a minute, you keep coming after us. But how about the fact that, do you see this one here? Sam Althman. This is a remarkable claim given that what I heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like. So Sam is coming back and saying, wait a minute, you bought X and everything favors you, Musk. You got three million views on your bullshit post, you liar, far more than I received on many of mine. despite me having 50 times your follower count.

Will you sign an affidavit that you have never directed changes to the X algorithm in a way that has hurt your competitors or help your own companies? I will apologize if so. Did Elon respond back to that? I did not see your response. Okay. So obviously there's a back and forth going between these two guys. And it's a true war.

It's a true fight that's taking place. People are watching it firsthand on what's going on here. Adam, what are your thoughts on the story? So, brace for impact. This is going to be the tech over. We're going to be running our lives for the next, not four, not 10, not 20, 40 years. Remember the tweet that Elon Musk said about Donald Trump? He goes, listen, you got him for another three and a half years.

You're going to have me for another 40 years. By the way, Sam Altman and ChatGBT and Gronk and Elon are going, this might be the tech overlords for the next 400 years. It's pretty scary. As far as their personal relationships, forget about the companies, forget about what they're doing with AI. This is personal. This is competitive.

And this is going to get ugly and nasty. Sam Altman is number one in terms of AI. Why? Chat GPT. ChatGPT. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is running some sort of Nazi propaganda machine over there on Grok. Not my opinion. I pronounce it

GROC, not Gronk. Good. All right, there we go right there. But the thing is this, Elon is not used to being number five. He's suing him because GROC is number five on the App Store. ChatGPT is number one. There's a couple other companies that I guess are above GROC in there.

but Elon is obviously competitive, and he's not used to not being number one, not number two, not number three, number five in this regard. They've had a few mistakes with Grok that's been public. Yeah. And it's a few royally big mistakes. Big time. And that's going on. They've been glitching like crazy.

And listen, we all saw the story about the Nazism. Listen, I use Chap GPT for this reason. I get enough hate comments on YouTube. I don't need to go to Groch to be reminded about how hateful people are. But the reality is this, Sam Altman is number one in the AI world and Elon is fighting for his place at the table. We're going to see how nasty this thing's going to get. Last point, this whole Apple being sort of the guard of what's able to go on. Do you remember in 2020 who sued Apple for what they were doing with the app store?

Remember it was a company called Epic? They're the owners or company that does. Fortnite. Remember, they were suing Apple over the 30 percent. There it is, right? There's that what you can charge on the app store. Apple is the tech overlord, and everyone's trying to get, become number one on Apple on the app store. And right now it's Sam Altman and Elon is just sort of crying like Justin Timberley, cry me your thoughts. I agree with what Adam said about the tech bros. And right now the tech bros are probably happy to see Sam Altman and Elon fighting. You want to know why? Because

Meta and Google, you know, what have they been doing? No, they've been completely innocent. They don't do shadow bans of content they don't like. They don't do things and push people back on Vax and then completely suppress your video. They didn't suppress the laptop story on Hunter Biden. They didn't move political things and weight them differently. They didn't manipulate the teenage girls on meta and causing them to see more stuff that was actually harmful to them. They knew what it was doing.

No, no, they'd never done that. Google has never modified ad weights on AdSense or let things show up differently. Never, never. The tech bros haven't done this. So what Elon Musk is doing, did he gerrymanders some outcomes for his own? Maybe he did. Nice callback right there. Maybe he did and maybe Altman is saying sign an affidavit.

But everybody else has gerrymandered results in tech. That is the danger of tech. And that's why tech needs competition to keep it honest. Because you look at this. This happens all across the board, even to the point of people getting really harmed as we look back when the tech bros were taking their cues from the federal government. And you know what's interesting while we're talking about this. You know who just bought a company from Google for $34, $35 billion?

Do you have that story? I don't know if you guys heard this or not. Oh, is this a story where they're attempting to buy it? Or did they actually buy it for $30 billion? They're attempting to buy AI startup perplexity. offers to buy Google's Chrome browser for $34.5 billion. You know Chrome? They use Chrome. Yeah, I'm on it right now.

Proplexity is wanting to buy Google's Chrome for $34.5 billion. Here's the issue I got with this is, why is Google selling? Why do you need to sell? Why would you sell? Pending antitrust decision where they're going to be forced to give up AdSense or Chrome. So it's one of the two. So if I have to give up one of the two, I'm going to sell the... Chrome browser to perplexity?

So you can't come from you on monopoly and antitrust and all the other items? Or maybe it's not being offered. Perplexity is just saying, hey, the federal government are going to cause you to sell something, Pat. I'll tell you what, offer you'll offer you're telling you, how much you think this is an offer that was made without Google being aware of this offer? Was it a knock at the, I think it could be a knock-at-the-door offer? It's like, hey. You think? Yeah, I don't think Google went out and got a banker on this. A $34 billion knock on the door.

Complexity and AI startup made an unsolicited offer to buy Google's Chrome for 34.5 with his chief executive, Orvandis, stating in a letter to Pichai, Chief Executive of Google Parent Company Alphabet, that the offer was designed to satisfy an antitrust remedy in highest public interest by placing Chrome with a capable independent operator. The bid comes as Judge Amit's Mata, U.S. District ruling, expected as early as this week could face Google to sell Chrome to reduce its dominance. Internet search perplexity valued at $18 billion has backing from outside investors for the potential deal, according to Jesse Dyer, a spokesperson. The Justice Department has pushed for Google to divest Chrome, arguing that Google's monopoly controlling about 90% the search market requires forceful antitrust changes to foster competition with David Dahlquist, the government's lead litigator stating this court's remedy should be forward-looking and not ignore what's on the horizon.

using the same strategy that they did for search and now applying it to Gemini. Wow. Unbelievable. So what a, what a brilliant move, Tom, right? If you think about it. It's like, hey, we know you're getting pressure on antitrust. Let us just make an offer without anybody know. And now it's public.

So the government said, well, wait a minute. We have an offer on the table from perplexity and they're qualified. So you have something they're dealing with. That's right. And the government can say, well, maybe you should take that because I'm breaking you up. Who do you think could be potential other buys outside of them? Well, it's very, very interesting because everybody's looking for a dance partner. And the odd man out is Apple.

What is Meta doing? They're grabbing everybody's people for the superintelligence lab. That's their play. They've been stealing guys from Apple. Well, we're not really going to do things at Apple. So tell you what, I'll take $10 million with the stock that could be worth $100 million. That's how those big offers have been calculated. So you have meta trying to get a place.

Google is betting on Gemini and is sitting there with its ass in court waiting to be broke up like this. Autopilot is already over there at Microsoft, and by the way, if you're scoring at home, Microsoft, and Nvidia are now 15% of the S&P 500, Pat. Oof, that's a little overweight there, directing to it. And then you get Nvidia making the chips for AI. Remember, this is an AI war going on. And so there, and then you got Open AI with ChatGBT by themselves.

So you see how these armies are being formed? And so perplexity needs a broadcast mechanism, and so it's going to go get Chrome. Google has to get broken by the government. They don't want to do it, but they've got to sell something to somebody they're going to be forced to. And Google's got Gemini and Mehta is stealing every engineer that's not nailed down to go for superintelligence lab. I just type the list right now. It says OpenAI, potentially Apollo, Global Management, Yahoo, and maybe Duck.com. Duck. Gohs express long-term interest in acquiring Chrome.

but duck, dot, go, you're going to be able to raise that kind of money? I don't know about that. If they are, good for them, but. Which, uh, maybe just conversation. Which one do you use? You got Gemini, chat GPT, perplexity, you got deep see. You got some dude named Claude out there that's giving you information in French. I honestly, I do chat GBT first and then I do Grogt to see what, like, how different it is.

I don't know if I use Google at all. I, once in a blue moon? I don't know if I use Google at all. Once in a blue moon. I think Google for me is less than 5%. But I'm still. using Yahoo. I use crazy out here.

Well, actually, interesting here, I use perplexity first to get the deep search, and then I compare with ChatGBT, GBT, and Gemini. Got it. Okay, sounds good. All right, let's get to the next story here. Give me one second. Rob, what was it that we had by moment? Okay, let's talk about D.C. takeover, what's going on with our capital.

Trump takes extraordinary action to crush bloodshed and bidium in D.C. by seizing control of local police and unleash a national guard. By the way, I want to show you guys a clip by morning, Joe, after this one here. So here's President Trump talking about what's going on in D.C. Go ahead, Rob.

I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor and worse. This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back. We're taking it back under the authorities vested in me as the President of the United States. I'm officially invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

You know what that is? No. And placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that. Very good people, but they're tough, and they know what's happening. And they've done it before. In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order of public safety in Washington, D.C. And they're going to be allowed to do their job.

Okay, so watch this. Judge Piro, who is now on there, Rob, I don't know if you have that clear. A young kid tries to call her out saying, hey, the numbers have been better. Is this that one, Rob? Oh, I'm sorry. This is her warning young punks. Give me one second. Yeah, there's another one where a young person jumps in and says something.

Have you seen this one? She grabs a mic and comes on the side and says, explain that to the kid that just got broke his nose and his teeth were smashed in. And I explained this to that person. Explain that this person. She goes after it and says a lot of things. Now, by the way, HECSET comes in and supports the decision,

of course, what the president's doing. We've mobilized the National Guard and have others specialized units ready to address the D.C. crime. Here he is. Go ahead, Rob. At your direction this morning, we've mobilized the D.C. National Guard. It'll be operationalized by the Secretary of the Army, Dan Driscoll, through the D.C. Guard. You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week. At your direction as well, sir, there are other units we are prepared to bring in. Other National Guard units, other specialized units, they will be strong, they will be tough, and they will stand with their law enforcement partners. This is nothing new for DOD. As the President noted, at the border, we've got 10,000. troops down there who've been operating in defense cooperation areas, defense zones, where there's

zero, zero illegal crossings because of troops on strikers scanning the border. We've been protecting other people's borders for 20 years. It's about time we protect our own. And we're working with ICE and CBP. In Los Angeles, we did the same thing. Working with the California National Guard. So when you're seeing what's happening here, a lot of the people on the left are calling this authoritarian and what they're doing. However, morning, had to read a text from one of his friends that lives in D.C. And not only does he read the text, but at the same time, while he's going through it, he himself tells him what it was like when he was working in D.C. Watch this year. Go ahead.

I want to read you a text from a someone who, I won't say their name, but we'll just say they're very liberal. And he says this may sound controversial, but I'm not totally opposed to Trump's National Guard move in D.C. I know he's doing it for politics, but crime remains rampant. I've had too many friends carjacked, shot at. None of us will walk more than three blocks after 8 p.m. 13-year-olds are committing many of these crimes, quite a change from a decade ago when things were much calmer. Well, that actually sounds like the D.C. that I lived in when I lived a block behind the Supreme Court. and, you know, every three days, one of my neighbors was getting held up at gunpoint.

I mean, there has been a crime problem in D.C. And I want to read you. So it's pretty bad when you got the other side supporting what's going on there. Vinny, what are your thoughts on this story? Well, first of all, if the mayor of D.C. and the chief of police did their jobs, this wouldn't be happening. Okay? And I love the argument of, like, by the way, 2024 was one of the highest.

murder rates was in Washington, D.C. Yes, the numbers are finally coming down as if that's an excuse. This year there's been at least 100 murders and you're seeing this tree, both. And they're attacking people that are working in Washington. And there was a clip yesterday where they're talking to the mayor and the chief of police who is, I think her name is

Pamela Smith, I believe. And they ask her, they're like, so now what's the change of command? Pam Bondi, who? And she goes, what does that? What does that mean? The chief of police in Washington, Rob, if you can find it, Look, she doesn't know what the chain of command is. Look at this, just real quick.

And then the mayor has to jump in. What the chain of command is now? What does that mean? Look, she has to leave. So, the executive order is clear. The president has requested MPD services in our home rule charter outlines the process. The president designated attorney general Bondi. Bondi is number one.

his proxy to request services for me. The chief of police doesn't know what the word chain of command is, which is not a good thing. But then yesterday, Rob, I don't think you're going to be able to find it because I have to watch the whole CNN episode. Yes, guys, I watched the whole CNN thing. They did a poll in Abby Phillips show that the people who live in D.C., Pat, they asked them if they thought crime was low, moderate or extreme.

91% of the poll said it was moderate to extreme, okay? And I can care less, like I said about the, numbers of 2024 and good good that they're coming down it doesn't mean that they're gone and then rob i send you this clip on um on slack simone sanders the girl that took over um our friend uh joy reed spot she was asked on joe scarborough and she thinks more police are safer on the streets you're not going to believe she said as a black woman she doesn't think so can you play this clip rob you you don't think more police make streets safer uh no joe i'm a black woman in america i do not always think that more police make streets safer.

She could just end the conversation there. You don't see a police officer on every corner, but you don't feel unsafe. So what is it about talking about places like Southeast D.C., right? Ward 8, if you will, that people say, well, we need more officers to make us safe. I think we have to rethink what safety

means in America. This is the defund. I'd love to know how many times she's going 911 in her life. Rethink what safety means in America. Not getting shot at. Let's start there. I love that you said that. So wait, what she's saying, As a black woman in America, more cops, it doesn't make any sense. And by the way, just FY for everybody out there that's just, you know, they're just reading headlines and stuff, this is a 30-day plan.

This is a 30-day see what's going on. And just yesterday, they arrested almost 25 people. They took a bunch of guns off the street, okay? And remember when we talked about the tariffs? Everybody was tripping out, Tom, and what do we say? Let him cook. Let it happen. Okay, we need drastic times to meet drastic measures, okay?

And then on top of that, Pat, the. The White House unveiled a sweeping plan to address the homelessness in D.C. Okay? They're going to be physically going up to people that are encampments, okay? And they're going to tell them, listen, they're going to offer them shelter and services. And if not, they're going to enforce the law. Brock, can you play this clip? The new BMO, V.I. Porter MasterCard, is your ticket to more, more perks, more points, more flights.

more of all the things you want in a travel rewards card and then some get your ticket to more with the new bemo V-I-Porter Mastercard and get up to $2,400 in value in your first 13 months terms and conditions apply visit BMO.com slash V-I-Porter to learn more with the support of the new federal agencies who have been surging on the streets of the District of Columbia

are going to enforce the laws that are on the books here in Washington, D.C. For far too long, these laws have been completely ignored, and the homelessness problem has ravaged the city. So D.C. Code 22.307, and D.C. Municipal Regulation 24100 give the Metropolitan Police Department the authority to take action when it comes to homeless encampments. So homeless individuals will be given the option to leave their encampment,

to be taken to a homeless shelter, to be offered addiction or mental health services, and if they refuse, they will be susceptible to fines or to jail time. Okay, right, you can stop it. You know, I love, Pat, enough, like, people just talk. This is not a dictator, this is not authoritarianism. It's in the law.

They are stating the law. And talk, the left just has to go opposite. Enough is enough. We just got back from L.A. It looked like a third world country, and my heart goes out. Guys, I get emotional sometimes when I talk to them and I give them money and stuff.

And I hate when people are like, well, you're giving them money. What are they going to buy? They're going to just buy drugs. I'm like, they're not going to invest in the SMP 500. All right. I'm not stupid.

I'm not stupid. You are correct, sir. But Tommy, here's my thing. Help them. They're offering. I'm like, hey, listen, you can't be here. We're going to put you in a shelter.

We're going to try to get you off drugs. And if you say no, that's it. We're going to freaking lock your ass up. Enough is enough. I love it. He's not going after crime, Tom, and he's going to clean up the streets. By the way,

And I have some receipts to go with your passion. Give it. Do you know when the Act, the District of Columbia Home Rule Act started when? December 24th, 1973, it was put in place after unrest and the federal government had small militias. Not that, well, no, militia just means a small group of soldiers that were providing security around the district. Why? Because the president of France may show up into a speech, so they made sure they were a security. in the district. Well, things were starting to get out of control, so they said, stop.

We want to, and there's also residents here. So on December 24th, 1973, they passed the District Columbia Home Rule Act to give them the ability to, quote, limited self-autonomy. And they inserted Section 740 that said, but if you get out of hand, we the government, who have been governing this since way back when, when they burned down the White House, when it was attacked, it was the military protecting the city. And in 1973, December 24th, this part I'm not sure about, but I think Santa Claus got slayjacked. And so

they said, we got to do this. But December 24th, 73 is when it happened. They put this, and they put Section 740 in there. So for everybody that's saying President Trump is authoritarian, no, he's not. They're opening this up and saying, crime is out of control. We have a provision here that

if you couldn't get your squat together and take care of the city with your own police force and governance, we were going to step back in because we ran the place for 154 years before we put this act in place and gave you the ability to govern the citizens that lived in the little suburbs that were close in. So I think everybody that's trying to make this political about authoritarianism, why you go back and read the act and look at why it was created, where it was created, and then look at Joe Scarborough, no friend of Trump saying, yeah, it was pretty bad where I lived

and I was only a block behind the Supreme Court. Adam. well defend the police don't defund the police i know we had a little play on words last episode but trump came out and when he first came out he said we're going to be the party of law and order and guess what i alone can fix it do you remember that and i remember 10 years ago i'm being like what a narcissist you alone can fix it trump don't trump 2025 you alone please fix it please because the last thing we need is our capital of the United States

Washington, D.C., turning into a ghost zombie land full of homeless drug addicts, and I'm just talking about the Congress people. So let's clean this act up. Do you remember what happened in New York City in the 90s? We had a guy named Rudy Giuliani, and he cleaned up the streets. He cleaned up the mafia.

He basically, what was it the... What do you use to stop the mob? Was it the Rico Act? RICO Suave. Hey, Rico. And that's what needs to be. Started with the longshoremen, went inland. There you go. And, well, that needs to be done in D.C.

If there's one city we need in America that doesn't look like an absolute hellhole, it might as well be the capital of the United States. I said this last episode, because we've spent a lot of time in D.C., it suits by day, sirens by night. Anyone you talk to goes, oh, no, no, no, no. When the sun sets, get the hell out of here. Don't walk around D.C. Did you see what Dana Bash said, Pat, by complaining about Trump, cleaning up D. D.C., Dana Bash, that the most violent day was January 6th.

That was her. That was her... It's really, very, very short. Look at, she's reading. The most violent moment in recent history in D.C. was January 6th. And it was an attack on the United States Capitol

by a lot of people who were doing it in the name of Donald Trump. And it included the people who were hurt, included members of London. Well, the reality of it is, she can say that all she wants. A report just came from Western Journal. Ma'am's long past time. Ex-capital chief police hits Pelosi with three damning memories

after she criticized Trump on D.C. National Guard use, okay? Nancy Pelosi. Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack, and lives were at stake. Now he's activating D.C. Guard to distract his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care education, immigration, just to name a few blunders. And Chief Stephen Sund responds. Watch this, Vinnie.

Ma'am, it's long past time, to be honest with American people, on January 3rd, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant Out Arms denied it. Under federal law, I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. The same day, Carol Corbyn, at the Pentagon, offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority. On January 6th, while the Capitol was under attack, and despite my repeated calls, your sergeant arms again denied my urgent request for over 70 agonizing minutes running it up the chain for your approval.

When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing top with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops. I mean, this is the part about how be patient, time is going to reveal truth. A lot of people are getting exposed with things that are going on right now. And I love the fact that they're doing this right now in D.C. There's no way in the world, the capital, the capital that we live in of the greatest country in the world should be unsafe. It should be the safest place in the world.

For sure. And I'm glad they're working on making that happen. All right, let's get to the next door here. Next door I want to get to is Candice Owens Nick Fuentes for claiming she, She is coordinating with Elon Musk to attack him, call streamer a sheltered theater kid. Rob, do you have a clip on this or is it a tweet? So I have a tweet and then a few clips as well. This is the original tweet from Candace.

All right. So Nick says what, full-blown coordinator attack on my credibility for the past week. And then she says what? Laugh my eyes off. Here we go again, guys. Nick talks trashed about literally everyone claiming they are frauds. But when the very people he speaks about reply to him, he says, It's some high-level coordinated attack.

Me coordinating with Elon Musk, El-O. Have you watched even a minute of my content? Didn't you say that I was working with Russia? Tonight he'll say, defend me. They are trying to kill me. Meanwhile, I'm being sued by President of France. The Tate brothers are actually facing a coordinator multistate-level attack from various countries,

and none of us are cry victimhood. I maintain Nick Fuentes as a sheltered theater kid who cries and lies pathologically. All right. So this story, Adam, go for it. Well, welcome to Mean Girls, a Nazi edition with Nick Fuentes and Candice Owens. These two were never going to get along. If you know anything about Nick Fuentes and how he feels about women and the blacks and loud-mouthy black women, they were never going to get along.

And Candice, who was a very logical actor until she got deathly stricken by the anti-Semitic bug, Used to make a lot of sense. And now, one thing I can say about Candace, other than the anti-Semitism and the demonic stuff that she's doing, actually a nice person. But one thing I will say is, follow the patterns, follow the receipts with Candace.

She goes to a place, leaves after a few years. Goes to a place, leaves after a few years. Fights with somebody, leaves after a few years. These people don't play well with others. They're talented. They're smart. They have opinions. They know how to galvanize their audience.

They know how to entertain. But they're not going to be part of a team. There's no way that Candace and Nick Fuentes we're going to have a happy ending overall. It's almost like entertainers and rat beef. They're going to shoot their shots. They're going to do their thing. This will end very ugly.

That's what I want to know. What happened here? The vibes are off. Vinnie, what do you know about what happened here? Okay, so I mean, in July, when Candace was on the Tucker Carlson show, she said the conversation was great. However, when it aired... This is after the Nick Fuentes' conversation.

Yeah, yeah. And then Fuentes said he called Owens in anger cursing at her because she did a 180 in tone. This is what he's saying. And Candace later question would have provoked the reaction. But then Nick, on July 15th, he did a Rumble video and he said it was a failed hit job. And what it's coming down to, Pat, is he's saying,

what Nick is saying is he's been OG from day one. He's saying that Tucker, Candice, Milo, Charlie Coo. A lot of this is stemming from their support of not only, not all of them, but Israel, that he's saying, because Candace obviously is not, you know, pro-Israel. What? Candace? But he's saying that they're all, his, his back, their backing or their, their positive speaking power of J.D. Vance. Because he has a, and oh, and this is another thing. Them claiming that he might be a Fed, not Candace, but the other ones are saying that he might be a Fed.

He, he had receipts. He's like, if I'm a Fed, how am I on the no-fly list? How am I not being able to fly? And then he does a thing where he shows, he Googled Peter Thiel, because this is all going back to Peter Thiel, propping up J.D. Vance, the upcoming of J.D. Vance, how they're kind of going against Trump.

But then he showed, Rob, I sent you the clip. Look at this. And allegedly Peter Thiel was some sort of informant. This is right here. This is on Business Insider. Tech billionaire Peter Thiel was an FBI informant. Like, these are just facts on who? I don't know.

I think he was on foreign. I think it was on something about foreign. This was during the 2020 election. I want to read that story rapper. Peter Thiel wore many hats over the year. So come all the founder, Trump, like the donor, cryptocurrency of runs on Democrat. But there is yet another face to Thiel,

one that has remained secret until now if I'm from. In the summer of 2020, an insider has learned that Thiel began providing information on the confidential human resource CHS. Jonathan MoMA-L-A-based FBI, and was specialized in investigating political corruption and foreign influence campaign. Charleson, a longtime associate Thiel

and a notorious figure in a far-right movement that Thiel was subsidizing for a decade, told Insider in a statement that he helped recruit the billionaire as an informant by introducing him to Buma, a source with knowledge to the relationship to the FBI whose identity is known to the insider, but who insisted on anonymity,

corroborated Johnson's account, telling you incited that Johnson brokered a relationship between Thiel and Burma. Boma insider was able to confirm through an additional source that FPI had added Theo to its former roster of registered informants. Interesting. So very interesting. So he's pissed, Pat, he was furious because, mind you guys,

I've watched the whole last two episodes, even a little bit last night, which was weird at the end of it because, Rob, it's kind of a longer clip. He says, like, I'll sit down with Candace. We should hash it out. So it's like, kind of flip-flopping. But I think the good clip to play, Pat, would be the one where he's talking about Jady Vance and where he came from and how this is all. That's one of the most angriest that he is about.

You want to know why they're so mad about my show, not even from last Friday, but from the week before that. I'll give you a little spoiler alert. it has everything to do with the vice president. We are living in House of Cards right now. J.D. Vance went from being an unelected civilian in 2022, to a senator, to the vice president in 24, to within four years, potentially the president of the United States. That is some serious House of Cards shit. This is a guy that in six years has gone from never-trial.

Trump author to potentially president of the United States. And he was empowered to get there by Peter Thiel, who designed the surveillance state itself by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world who owns the platform X and Tucker Carlson, who is maybe the most influential voice in Republican politics, courtesy of Rupert Murdoch, his former boss and Rebecca Mercer. And I'll show you how it all comes together at the end. I'm Zoe Barnes. What if there was a coup against the American government?

What if there was a coup against the America First MAGA movement by the deep state to usurp and subvert Donald Trump and install a deep state puppet? a never-trumper Silicon Valley artifice who was nobody and in six years he'll be the heir apparent president from MAGA president of the United States and what if one guy stood against him what if one guy who didn't take money from Peter Thiel what if one guy who wasn't taking support from Silicon Valley one guy who's paying attention and is skeptical What if one guy was calling that out? Well, you get hit with the Death Star Laser.

Who's the one guy? That's what's happening to me. I'm going to give credit where credits do, which I always do. He was the, Pat was the first one. And I know we've changed because the debate and all that's not that we change. But Pat from the beginning was kind of like, I don't know about JD. And now when somebody actually breaks it down from Pat, being a nobody to the vice president. And guys, I don't know, man.

That's what he's saying This is what Nick is saying About where the beef And why everybody's upset with him Because he's calling this out Do you believe him? I don't know I don't know

Like my opinion is like bro When people piece things together Like connecting the dots And you start to go Okay came from nowhere Peter Thiel funded him He is where he is now By the rise to fame

It's like Obama Like Obama came out of nowhere And it was just like Yes we can And the change And this and that And what happened? He became the president

Like that Yeah because people voted for him. Yeah, of course, but where did he come from? In Nigeria, obviously. No, no, no, no. No, you know what I mean? No, the difference is, respectfully,

Obama didn't come out of nowhere. He crushed his DNC speech in 2004. Correct. And it was known as the greatest speech, whether you're black or white or brown or gay or straight or Republican or this. I don't believe in red states or blue states. I believe in the United States. That was the day where you're like the greatest speech given.

in the last 40 years of Democrats was Obama and they're like, this guy's going to be the president. Easy, they take him in and it becomes a president of state. But to me, with this case going back and forth, Elon jumps in and supports that he might be a Fed, okay? Yeah. He calls Fuentes as a Fed. And then Fuentes responds and says,

oh, you're now in this as well? And to give credit to Candace, Candice has been critical of Elon. So to me, it's kind of like a, so maybe he doesn't know that part of it, but then saying, well, maybe you are a Fed, but him and Milo had an exchange together where he's like, are you going on January 6th? Well, you may want to show, you have to show up.

So why is, are the feds going to be, feds are going to be there? So he's shown receipts. And remember, guys, 12 years ago, Milo was the guy that not 12 years ago. Yeah, probably 12 years ago. Milo was a superstar. My Milo would go on Bill. Mottel was everywhere until some of the events that happened. And I don't know.

I don't know when I'm going back and. There's a couple of things that's just very weird on some of the interviews that are happening. I said a few years ago when the alliance was being built and Elon, when Tucker went to X, and I said he made a great decision because Elon was retweeting, if you remember, his first 50 interviews or so Elon retweeted. And if a 200 million account person retweets you and you have one million followers, it really means that you have 201 million followers. I don't know if you understand what I just said right there.

So what's more important? And if you remember Tucker, in the last two and a half years, he went from having a couple million followers. Do you know how many followers Tucker has on X? Go look up Tucker's followers on X. I thought it was a brilliant move by Tucker to go there. We made an offer to him. But he went there.

If you look up Tucker Carlson, I think he's at 12 million followers, 10 million followers. He's in the 16 and a half million followers, all because Elon Kibb retwintered this stuff. And because he did the leg. work of going to Russia, going to everywhere to do the interviews. He wasn't waiting for people to come to him. So you got to give him credit on that as well. But right now, it's very interesting what's going on here. It's very interesting how some of this is being handled. Some of them are taking it in a way where there's Israel involved, there's MAGA involved, it's Trump's fault,

it's this, it's JD Vance, it's Peter Thiel, it's Elon, establishment, anti-establishment. But a lot of our young guys. And I always look at our young guys when we're doing podcast prep just to kind of hear what they're saying because I know they follow the stuff more. I run nine companies guys. I'm in meetings all day. So I can't be glued to the screen seeing everything that's going on. But we have researchers who are

and the guys that were pro Candace and pro Tucker die hard, die hard for the last two and a half years in the last two weeks are becoming more nicknamed. You know who I'm talking. I don't want to give names. 100%. But I'm kind of like

they were complete they're like yeah i don't know he brought the receipts and he did this and he did that and you know the way he's doing it why they targeted him now is it because he's not part of anybody because he's not getting money from anybody well you know he went and got money from p you he went asked thiel for money but he'll didn't give him money and he's bought her and all the all these conversations of what's going on um but if it's the younger people that are paying attention to who's doing what everybody is playing the avengers are in many different ways and there's like a massive war going on right now. It's a civil war going out

right now with, not necessarily a Republican Party, to be honest with you. The way I'll put it is there's a civil war going on right now with conservative influencers on X. I wouldn't even say it's the Republican Party. No.

I would say it's conservative influencers on X because the search for Epstein has dropped 89% in the last three weeks. There is no interest in Epstein anymore. The interest is dropped dramatically. And this is CNN telling you this. Go ahead, Rob.

At least, a political point of view, quickly turning into a dud of a story. What am I talking about here? Which is wild. Which is wild. This has been for three weeks now. Exactly. Take a look here.

Google searches for Epstein. Down 89% versus just three weeks ago, falling through the floor. It is no longer the top term searched alongside. You can pause it right there, Rob. So what's the point? This is an X interest that led to Google and the power to X. It was at one point it was the most trending.

2.3 million people had used the word Epstein on X and obviously made it very trending. So I think there's something going on on the Republican conservative MAGA America First debate on X that a lot of younger people are following. And there was a little bit of a, and also for the people that was extremely cool to be anti-Israel in the weirdest way they are right now more luck if I have to choose between Israel and Islam and Muslim

and what they're doing to all these other places I hate to say this if it's between the two I'm going Israel over that and I listen all these guys I've had them on I'm in communication with many of these guys I talk to most of them here not all of them most of them here and I'll host

Dave Smith we've hosted Candace many times on election night We've host, you know, you name them, many of these. And who knows? Maybe in the future we'll have Nick on as well to have a conversation with them. But it's been a very interesting, specifically Vinny. I would say it's been a very interesting last three weeks. And Nick said it himself from his mouth.

He's on a generational run. And right now, I don't care what anybody says. He is freaking on fire. You believe Nick, though. I get a feeling that you believe Nick. You know what it is, Matt? Because, okay, name the person that can't even be on YouTube. He can't be on YouTube because of the stuff that he says

They froze his bank account I guess he had like $500,000 in the account They froze him He's at the cap by he was He wasn't they made it seem like he was running into the capital He was on the grounds where you can do it And I'm just saying like And regardless of what that stat says

89% down If it's so not it's a nothing burger They keep pushing because they want us Completely to forget about it Pat Why is Comer saying that Bill Clinton's a prime suspect And they're investigating They're still digging deep and looking for people to get there. We'll get there in a minute.

But, Rob, somebody told me that Nick did open up his potty mouth. Yeah, do you want to see? Yes, he did. What do you do? Nick? Well, you have to see. Rob, did they edit this? Is this what you guys? This is the edited version. But what part is it? We can't play the whole four minutes. Can you go to the part where it's like, you know, PBD tells me whatever,

because I think Humberth or one of the guys show me that 10 seconds. While he's looking for it, can I, with all due respect, and you've got to give credit where credits do, he goes crazy he cusses at candace he goes after charlie he's no whole but mylo tucker he craps on all of them and in that rage whenever your name comes up he goes and pbd patrick mid david pbcats it's like the fire calms and then he goes back this is look at this look at this look at this screen played rob played i am america first you are not you're not even american Who is it?

And to the extent that you are, Candace, trader. Oh. And Elon. That's the last word on that. No, it's not. Ask the show. Who is the Fed?

Will the real federal agent please stand up? Who is it? Who's the real federal agent? Elon Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance Tucker and George Farmer, the son of the head of the Alliance of Christians and Jews in the UK? or the realest you know. Patrick Bed-David said, why do you say the N-word?

It's to show people I'm real. Why do you roll out of bed as real as a game and do a show? Why do you say you're going to have hate sex with Kenna Soans? Why do you say, you know, it's crazy? You can pause that here. Here's the thing that that I, you know, of course he's passionate. He's 26. He's doing his thing.

I, you know, if he would not, you, five words, they would play his clips on mainstream and would introduce them to a new audience. Nope. Yes, they would. Yes, they would. Let me tell you, you're saying nope. You're saying nope. There's a lot of nopes you have to bite your, you know, tongue right now.

When you said, nope, Trump won't win in 2016. Nope, Trump won't win in 2024. Nope, a lot of nopes have become yups. Okay. A lot of nopes. How much you want to bet, Nick Fuentes, is not. never going to be played on mainstream media. He didn't say that. He didn't say that. He didn't say that.

By the way, don't do that to yourself. Okay. Listen, I had a $1 million PPD bet. Let me put it. Listen, it is more likely it is more likely that mainstream is going to play his clips

if they haven't already than Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize. It is more likely that they're going to play his clips. But the only thing If they're going to do a hit job on him, yes, they'll play But that's part of playing his clips. By the way, guess what? Well, okay.

No, no, it's not, okay. What I mean? Oh, okay. A part of it is he has to realize that he has play offense, give your arguments, have the receipts, go do your thing, all of that stuff. But, I mean, he has to have a quote like right underneath his iPad. I have met the enemy at his eye, Alexander the Great. He's his own enemy in certain areas. Because, you know, as you're going up.

and you make enemies with everybody, you have to, you have to find ways to build some alliances. Yep. You know, there is a, there is a, huh? What do you mean not possible? He has alliances. No, no, hang on, hang on.

Let me just make my point out. You can say whatever you want to say. But as you're going up and you're moving up, this is sincere feedback to all of them. It's not even just any one of them. Dana just closed a $7.7 billion dollar deal with Paramount. Dana 20 years ago went to Spike and gave them $10 million to show UFC.

Did you understand what I just said right there? You go to Spike. I don't even know what Spike is. UFC goes to Spike or was. Can you tap in Spike UFC 10 million on Google? Spike UFC 10 million. If you go Spike UFC 10 million, I want to say he offered them 10 million bucks 20 years ago.

Right there. Is that it? Yeah. Yeah, there goes UFC pitch Ultimate Fighter to several networks but none of them were interested until Spike TV came along. However, Spike wouldn't air it until UFC paid the production cost to the Fertito Brothers and Dana White invested $10 million to get the show on Spike. And now he just got $7.7 billion.

Over a five-year deal, I think it's five or ten years. I don't know what the number is. I think seven years or five is one of the two. How? You got to like, if your plan is long-term, you need to have a little bit of a better approach towards building, not alliances, but, you know, yeah, 7.7 years, 1.1 per year. Yeah, you have to do a little bit of a better job, building alliances. Dana built it with Trump. Imagine Dana

without Trump. What if Trump doesn't support Dana? What if Dana didn't build that relationship? He loses that opportunity. I just think a little bit of it. It's just a little bit of business sense. Like go read, out of all the political books you read, read five business books. It's the only thing. He reads five business books. I would give those five business book recommendations for him just to look at it from the perspective of what the upside could look like. That's the only feedback I would give because all the other stuff. And he's going to do, he's a kind of guy, like for me, you couldn't tell me what to do. I'm working at Bally's. A guy named Fernando Lossuenzu ends up becoming one of my groomsmen at my wedding. The singer? Yeah. The singer. Yeah. The

singer. I come in at Ballies. I just got out of the army. You know how I talk? Hey, what's up, motherfuck? Oh, yeah. Me too. And I'm like, finally one day for now and say, can I talk to you? He says, yes. We don't know each other. You've just been working here for a week. I'm willing to bet you would sell two times the amount of

memberships if you stop saying the F word. I said, there's no in the world you're right. And he says, try it. I went 30 days. I'm like, that's fucking right. Because the clients that were maybe a little bit more, you know, a certain level of people. They're like, yeah, I'm willing to entertain this guy. Language matters, especially when you're that good of a communicator. A great communicator doesn't need to add those words.

But to each his own, it's freedom of speech. You do whatever you do, and we're not someone that has to sit down. You better do this or else now. I just think he's his own enemy sometimes. And he can get out of his own way. Go ahead, Adam. Well, word to the wise, stop saying the N-word. I mean, that's pretty basic.

You're saying that Nick Fuentes is going to be some sort of mainstream darling, allegedly. No, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no. So he's going to be played on mainstream. Don't say darling. Okay. No, I inserted darling. Because the mainstream media needs enemies to play.

Perfect. He is the perfect enemy. If he changes a bit of his language. Well, not a fan of the N-word. I'm going to go, I'm going to take a leap of faith here and say that most people are not. Now, just because. because I'm criticizing of that does not mean I don't think he's smart and capable

and well read and a good communicator that's all great but he's also incredibly toxic so you know risk versus reward does not play well with others does not have friends I know he has his crew the Groypers I'm sure they'll see

this clip and come at me it's all good I'm not disparaging the man's character how smart he is how wise he is I'm just saying a guy like this will never go mainstream in that capacity. Last thing, he talked about, I am America first. No, you're not, bro. Donald Trump is. Have a little respect. If there's anything that I could say about Donald Trump, he started this, he's MAGA, he's the movement. Nick Fuentes has been excommunicated from this movement since the day that Kanye brought him to Marilago, and Trump said, no, no, no, you're fired, you're gone.

Since then, he brought up JD Vance. Stop with this whole charade that it's this smoky room thing. He wrote a book about his real life story about his grandma and everything that raised him. This was not fabricated. He wasn't this wasn't Manchurian candidate. He was elected in 2022. He beat a congressman named Tim Ryan, who was going to basically take Nancy Pelosi's place. J.D. stepped up. Donald Trump Jr.

Hand selected him after vetting the entire field. And he won the election. And now we're about to say it's some big conspiracy. Sometimes if you want to play the conspiracy, the game, you can. Sometimes it's just he won elections and these are the consequences. Don't we say elections have consequences? J.D. Vance

won. Nick Fuentes, smart guy completely BS on his J.D. Vance narrative. Tom. Let's tell you. Final words before we move off. Final words. I'll give you some receipts on this to back up what's been talked about here in terms of mainstream media would love to have this guy. Absolutely

love. I'll give you a super, super, super, super, super, fast case study. 1994, Howard Stern goes on e-network. network even said, we're taking a deep breath. We hope this will work. He goes on E. It's very successful. He starts calling himself the king of all media. I spoke to producers and showrunners in L.A. This is 94 to 96. I was getting my media at Pepperdine. And they told me, does Howard Stern realize that he would get paid four or five times what he's, E is paying him? If he would just turn it down a little bit, just here and there, kind of like the five

works comment. Then, Clear Channel, he stilled the radio show, kept having to suspend him. for decency things. And that kept it. And finally, this one guy that gets Sirius and XM to merge together then gives him on Serious XM. If you look at what Howard Stern made, Howard Stern would have made so much more

been over on mainstream if he had just moved a little bit. There's the receipts in a case study. Nick Fuentes has got the same thing from a political angle. If he would just move a little bit, they would pick him up and fly that fly. What's the one thing they said

about Howard Stern and his audience? if you remember that movie, private parts, they said, fun fact, the people that love you listen to for an hour, what's the most common reason? They want to hear what you're going to say next. The people that hate you listen for an hour and a half to two hours. Why? The most common reason, they want to hear what you're going to say next.

Shock jocks are a thing, but shock jocks are not the real world. Yeah. Okay. All right. So let's go to the next story here. Next story I want to go to is Fed Governor remains, maintains outlook for things. three interest cuts in 2025, okay? So three cuts now, 2025, that's what they're saying?

Yep. They're saying three cuts in 2025. Let's read this here. So Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Baumann, Vice Chair of Supervision reiterated her projection of three 25 basis point interest rate cuts in 2025, despite the Federal Open Market Committee decision to maintain the benchmark federal funds rate at 4.25 to 4.5. She spoke at Kansas Bankers Association 2025 CEO manager senior management summit in Colorado Springs, Colorado, emphasizing her dissent from July decision alongside

Fed Governor Christopher Waller marking the first dual dissent favoring cut since 1993. Bowman Baster stands on the signs of fragility in labor market conditions stating economic conditions appear to be shifting. And as a result, we should reflect this shift. in our policy decision, Tom. Yep. This is the individual that I gave credit to, and I said, you know what? This is the first time in 32 years that we had dissenters, and she was right. And I commented at the time that I thought that Weller, Waller, excuse me, was saying it because he actually wanted to be...

Johnson Waller? Yeah. Well, he actually, no, no, Christopher Waller. He actually wanted to be the next Powell. And so I said, well, him dissenting, you know, okay, but he's kind of campaigning. But Michelle Bowman was absolutely, I think, well within her rights and was correct about the dissent. And now she's saying we're going to get three cuts, which will be September 16th, October 29th, and December 10th, 25, 25, 25, 25. That's what she's looking at.

And by the way, if you go look at CME, CME, which is the federal tracker of the federal board of governors and what they say at their, speeches and stuff. Here we go. CME Fed Tracker. Just say Fed Tracker. Let's go take a look at where it is. Okay, 35 days, three hours and 36 minutes. They even have a countdown clock here, Pat. It's amazing. Now go down, just go down. And oh, my goodness, what does that say at the top of that blue bar? Oh, my gosh, 97.9%? Is that what that says? Yeah. 97.9% chance that we're going to get a cut coming up here on the 16th, 17th of September of a quarter point. I think she's absolutely right and she's out there pushing it because we are seeing a little bit of unemployment. We're seeing things that make sense for the cut. And so I happen to be right there with Michelle Bowman

and I think she's had the guts to stand up first time in 32 years. We had two governors actually stand up in dissent, although you get a discount Waller a little bit because he's kind of lobbying to be the next pal. Interesting. All right. Did you hear who, Scott Besson said that he's considering. Yeah, Janet Yelling. Yeah, that's kind of interesting. That's kind of interesting, isn't it? Very much so. It's called a team of rivals. Rob, can you play that clip? By the way, good hair. Look at that hair. Why?

There's a lot of us talk about it. Chris Waller, Kevin Warsh, Kevin Hassett, and so forth, and other names. You're casting a wide net. Very, very wide net. And as you know, more than, more than anyone, And President has a very open mind. He even considered re-appointing Jenny Yellen. So we want to see what everyone's thinking. It's not ideological.

It's about economics. What's best for the American people? What's best for the economy? And as I talk to the candidates, I'm looking at three things. Monetary policy, regulatory policy, and the ability to run and revamp the organization. Because it's really gotten bloated. and I think that this bloat puts its monetary independence of risk. Well, you've said.

All right, there you go. The fact that he is entertaining Janet Yellen. Now, that could also be a misdirection. That also could be something that they're trying to throw you off. But I think Trump is a guy that would actually entertain a Janet Yellen. I actually think he would entertain it. I think Trump's the guy that would be open to it, Tom. Sure, and I think in team of rivals, you have to think about things.

A friend of mine from inside the administration said that Besson's hat wasn't thrown into the ring by Besson. Besson's hat was thrown into the ring by Lutnik, who felt that he'd be a strong candidate. And then Lutnik's kind of self-nominated and said, and if you need somebody over a treasury, I'd be glad to do it. So I think we've got a lot of really good people and a team of rivals. And that answer from Bessent we just heard there, I thought was balance. And he's talking about the exact things. The economy needs. This place is being run like a business now.

Yeah. And guess what? It's showing up in the results. I got to be honest with you. I'll go real quick. I think I'm very impressed with Scott Bessent. He seems very capable. I mean, he's the one who allegedly got Elon Musk out of Doge.

But let me take one quick angle right now. Don't look now, but this is the richest I've ever been. I'm assuming this is the richest you've ever been. I'm assuming this is the richest you've ever been. I know this is the richest you've ever been. I lost a lot of money. the S&P 500 is at all time high NASDAQ is at all time high

Dow is reaching all time records Bitcoin at all time high things are looking pretty darn nice and you know you have zero control of what the Fed does with rate cuts zero goes up Trump fires pal hires yelling whatever

happens happens but you do control your bank account you do control how hard you work work earn save invest work earn save invest do it on rinse and repeat keep your call low, stay the course. And here's the biggest thing. Tune out the noise.

Three, four months ago, they thought the world was falling apart. Tariffs. Oh, my God. Now we're at all-time highs. Donald Trump is sitting there laughing at everybody that thought the economy was going to tumble. And now take your money to the piggy bank, Vinnie. Yeah. I mean, look, it's, again, three times I don't know. Janet Yellen possibility, a lot of moving parts, but we'll see what's going to happen here with the store. Next door I want to go to is Trump. defense taking 15% cut of

Nvidia, AMD chip sales to China. This is kind of weird, but he didn't ask for it. They offered it. So if they offer you 15%, what do you do? And that's going to come back into paying off the debt that you have the national debt that shop. It's an interesting thing, but he's being asked about it. President Trump defends a deal requiring Nvidia

on advanced microchip devices, AMD to pay U.S. government 15% of their China sales revenue for export licensing And here's what he ought to say. Go ahead, Rob. But the H20 is obsolete. You know, it's one of those things, but it still has a market. So I said, listen, I want 20% if I'm going to prove this for you, for our country, for the U.S. I don't want it myself. You know, every time I say, like, I don't want it.

Like 747, I want, yeah, for the Air Force. So I just want it. So when I say, I want 20, I want for the country, I only care about the country, I don't care about myself. And he said, would you make it 15? So we negotiated a little deal. So he's selling a essentially old chip that Huawei has a similar chip, a chip that a chip that does the same thing. And I said, good, if I'm going to give it to you because they have a, you know, they have

a stopper, what we call a stopper, not allowed to do it. It's really known as a restrictive covenant. And I said, if I'm going to do that, I want to do that. want you to pay us as a country something, because I'm giving you a release. I release them only from the H20. Now, on the Blackwell, I think he's coming to see me again about that, but that will be an unenhanced version of the big one. Like, I don't know if you know, we will sometimes sell fighter jets to a country. Tom, can pause right there. Tom, thoughts. You love this. So, Envidio goes to the federal government and says, hey, look, we saw

a lot of different chips. And when he's talking about the H20, the H20 was a chip that was made for the Chinese market. And there's a whole lot of companies over there that use it for a lot of things. This isn't going to be something where the Chinese government is buying a thousand of them, 10,000 of them, 100,000 of them, and running AI Sims to spy on us. That's not what these are going to be used. This is a bunch of Chinese companies doing it. And Jensen Wang goes to the government and says, hey, you know what, in the midst of this stuff, I can keep making these, and I'm a U.S. company, says, is it okay if I sell these here? And, you know, I've got this tariff on top of it.

So I got this tariff thing. And so what Trump is basically saying, we'll tell you what, I'll give you liberation to actually sell it on the embargo, but instead of the tariff dollars, pay the federal government, pay us. And so guess what? It's left hand, right hand. And so he said, Jensen says, great. Yeah, I guess we'll do that. And he said, now those Blackwell chips, the enhanced blackwell chips, that's the super AI chip. That's the Shelby Mustang of AI chips, or you want to call it the, yeah.

What was that? Tom? I was going to go there, but he's going to back. I held up from making a really bad, bad decision of something. No, Tom. No, no, no. The Blackwell chip, the Enhanced Blackwell chip, the enhanced Blackwell chip is the super horsepower, big, beautiful chip that you don't want them to have. And so this is basically, once again, I'll say it again. I said it a minute ago, but I'm going to say it again.

It says, you know what? This place needs to be run like a business, and it is being run like a business. There's one part of it that's uncomfortable with me. So here's what I'm going to ask you, Tom. But you get it. Do you know where I'm going with this? Yes. Where am I going with this?

You're going with this is that you open the floodgates. Yes. For the next guy. For the next guy. For the next guy, which is. Who maybe doesn't like you and just wants to take your company. From you know what this, yeah. Yeah, 50% I'll do it.

Listen. That's like the Putin deal on gas. I would, do you think I would negotiate the same way Trump is negotiating with MVIDIA? Yes. Yes, I would. Okay, skip the tariff, pay the country. That's right. But maybe tie it to a project.

So meaning, this is the way I would do it. I would say the first, let's just say how much revenue you think you're going to get from this chip? AMD and NVIDia. How much you think they're going to get from the chip? Give the number. That's going to be billions of dollars. Give me a number. Let's just say it's $300 billion in revenue. I'm just making up a number. 15% is what, $45 billion. You know what I would say? Here's what I would say. As a form of project that we're working on right now, you guys are going to pay for the wall? Or are you guys going to pay for this? Or are you guys going to pay for the drone? Or are you guys going to pay for that?

it becomes a where the audience says okay so that 15% for the government you're going to pay half of the dome or you're going to pay for half of the this or you're going to have for that tie it to a project for it to be like okay they're going to pay for this instead of the government's going to be a business partner

with you on some of this stuff because this is where you open up the argument of nationalize and all this other stuff you're just doing you're giving the opposition an argument for it And I'm telling you, I love the way it's being negotiated. I love the way it's done. I love what they're doing with it and the revenue that's going to be coming in for taxpayers.

And there's so many guys, oh, inflation, something, something, nothing happened. Tariffs, nothing happened up until now. And by the way, the China deal's not done. The India deal's not done. A lot of deals are still not done. And still, inflation didn't skyrocketing when everybody said. And yesterday was a record-breaking day for the stock market. Just two days ago, we read an article.

Well, you know, the market was. affected. Sad Monday. Yesterday, up 500. What happened? What happened with it? Adam, thoughts on this? Well, Trump made the whole phrase

quid pro crow famous, which is basically like, scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. You know, funny thing about my back is that whole thing. But the media will spin this story about NVIDIA cutting a deal

of 15% of their revenue for their exporting chips to China. And they're going to say, Trump's enriching himself and Trump's just making money on this. And I'm so glad that Trump was like, I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing this for the country.

This is the art of the micro-trip deal. Now, speaking of NVIDIA, I think just two weeks ago, a week ago, they became the first company that reached $4 trillion market cap. I'm not going to slow down. And now, look at this little earnings report here. 4.47 yesterday. Now they're about to hit $5 trillion. Don't bet against NVIDIA.

So I'm totally in favor of what Trump is doing. You're basically saying you're making a ton of money. You're making a ton of money selling to China. Pay me. show me the money is what Trump's saying to NVIDIA. By the way, Jensen Huang, if you put him on a lineup, I guarantee you 99% of Americans could not pick this guy up. This guy is running

the most profitable, biggest market cap company in the world, and nobody even knew his name or NVIDIA's name five years ago. By the way, he's worth $1508 billion today. He's doing okay. But you know what they say, Pat? We're thinking about starting to go fund. 158 billion. It's not. It's not. Save that money. All right. Let's go to the next door here. Let's go to next door here.

It's going to be a Stefano-Ritchie crocodile with their jacket. They should go get this guy. By the way, you can afford it. Did you hear what he said the other day? What was in our panel? He goes, what is it that makes America the greatest country in the world for when it comes to technology and everything? He goes, yeah, one thing.

Donald Trump. Do you remember when he said that? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, we're back to people not being afraid of talking. We're back. And telling the truth, which is great. This is the clip right here, I believe.

Yeah, go ahead. The all in guys. You see our. America's unique advantages that other countries don't have. America's unique advantage that no country possibly have is President Trump. There it is. And let me explain why. One, on the first day of his administration, he realized the importance of AI and he realized the importance of energy.

For the last, I don't know how many years, energy production was vilified, if you guys remember. We can't create new industries without energy. You can't re-shore manufacturing without energy. You can't sustain a brand-new industry like artificial intelligence without energy. If we decide as a country, the only thing we want is IP to be an IP-only, a services-only country, then we don't need much energy. but if we want to produce things something as vital as

artificial intelligence and we need energy and so I'm just delighted to see pro to accelerate AI innovation this is where they jump cut to the picture of trumping like yeah that's great to see that all right let's get to the next door here

let's get to the next door here let's get to next door here so Vinny you almost went into the story but I'm going to get into one before we get into that one which is real estate California FEMA remember a few months ago right after the fire that happened the Palisades and Adam Carolla went up there and said, here's what's going to happen. They're probably going to take all these properties, and they're going to do

this and they're going to do that. Well, let me tell you, before we watch the video by Adam Carolla, I'm going to read you what phone call, Grand Cardone just got, okay? Grand Carton was contacted by FEMA and can confirm the Pacific Palisades as a land grab. Democrats are burying the homeowners in structural upgrade costs. The crazy part is three months ago, Adam Carolla predicted the same exact thing that was going to happen to L.A.

would steal the land. He was right. California is a land grab. By the way, before I get into this next thing, I just want you to see what Corolla said a few months ago and what's allegedly starting to happen in California. Go ahead, Rob. And the other thing that people need to understand is everything here is on septic. Nothing is on a city sewer system. Every dwelling in Malibu has a separate septic system. And these houses in front, many of them were built in the 40s, in the 50s and the 60s, and the codes were almost non-existent. So they have septic systems that are in place now that are completely unacceptable in 2025 when they rebuild, not that they'll rebuild in 2025, 2050, when they rebuild,

and they're going to have to update the septic system, which means coastal commission, ocean, Sierra Club, dig it all out, and because of the proximity of the ocean, they're going to have to build sea walls so that erosion won't take their septic system. So they're going to be several million dollars into stuff that's buried in the ground. A seawall, not above the ground, but a seawall that's in the ground so that the storm and the erosion can't get to it. New septic system. I mean, they may be three, four, five million dollars into it before one piece of two by four is even put up in terms of framing the new house. Do you know how much bureaucracy, red tape, and permits worth of nightmare this is going to be?

Because regardless of whatever the mayor says, whatever the governor says, about expediting this stuff. A septic system is a septic system. The code is the code. The seawall is the seawall. And they're all going to have to happen. Okay, Tom, thoughts on this. I think he's right. I went through this. Earthquake in 1994, I went up and I bought a house in Northridge. And before, I go get a permit to extend the kitchen. And I wanted to move one wall. And they said, we're not going to prove this unless you put a sheer wall on your back of your house. I said, what are you talking about? This house is, was built, like in 1965, the foundation is still here. It went through the earthquake in

1971, in 1973, in 1994. And I'm sitting here in 2004, and they said, sorry, Pat, they were waiting for the first person to do the upgrade, and they did it. So they've been doing this all over the place on saying, oh, you need to do the upgrades. Adam Krola is right about this, and the septic system is a system that you need, and so there will be reasonable things here. but he's pointing out that all the stuff's going to be upgraded. Meanwhile, there's other ways that Grant Cardone's about to point out where they insist on upgrades that are designed to create expense so you'll abandon the land.

Two different things. Adam Carolla talking about old septic systems to be upgraded with new ones. You want them to be safe. They're going to need a seawall. They can't have the house erode and fall down and have all that septic stuff going in the ocean. But if they then say up on Palisades, well, you people need to re-level this and bring it up,

and it's going to add a couple million bucks. People with more limited insurance who already got screwed because they were under fair plan and only gave them a maximum amount. Those people, guess what? Now they got abandoned land, and California's going to take it. Do you remember when the fires were still burning and the Palisades literally smoke and Ash

and Gavin Newsom was standing in the middle, of all those people, and he was talking about talking about the governor and he started doing that weird body snake movement, about land surveyors. Remember, like, he said it. He said it right here. I was just talking to Josh Green, the governor of down in Hawaii. You had some ideas around some land use concerns he has, around speculators coming in, buying up property and the like.

Or the state to the state. To move those things forward. And we'll be presenting those in a matter of days, not just weeks. Yeah, talking about because Hawaii had the fires and everybody there was complaining about, you're coming in and buying the land. He's saying it. Rob, can you do me, Feverand? Go to chat, GBT, and type in, what is Senate Bill 549?

What is Senate Bill 549? What is Senate Bill 549? California? Yeah, watch this. Senate Bill 549, or specific to California, there it is, yeah, Senate Bill 549, they just announced this, and it's been now put on pause. This bill will remove certain powers from enhanced infrastructure financing district under second neighborhood infill finance and transit improvements, notably the ability to use sales and use tax revenue and the requirements for districts to be coterminous

with the creating city or country. By the way, with the county, if you go a little bit lower, the idea of this when they announced it was for them to use a portion of the area, establish a government, resilient rebuilding authority that could purchase fire-damaged parcels in Pacific Palisades,

then develop a portion into low-income or supporting housing. objective address to housing affordability and post-fired rebuilding efforts in L.A. County. Let me explain this to you. The properties that were the waterfront properties, they proposed, why don't we take this and turn some of it into low-income, the pushback Bill met with strong local opposition from residents who felt it constituted a land grab,

citing the loss of property rights and demographic change in the community. Over 23,000 local signed objections and leaders like Pacific Palisites residents associations voiced deep concerns as a result, it was put on a pause in mid-2020-5 to allow for more community input and consultation. By the way, so when you hear these things being said, it wasn't just a theory. It was actually what they were trying to do in California. And a lot of people are like, what the hell are you talking about? What the hell are you talking about?

And, you know, obviously, you know, as they're going back and forward, I pull up the numbers on permits because that's the one I always look at, how fast permits are being given. As of July of 2025, which is last month, the city of L.A. has received 389 rebuild permit application tied to Palisades. About 8% of the estimated 4,700 properties affected. 145 permits were approved, allowing homes to begin major repairs and reconstruction. And in the Altadena area, only 15% of applications were approved. And this is an ongoing thing that's going on right now. So again, to a lot of people, they moved on.

Life goes on. To the people that were affected by the Palisades, their life is still impacted about what happened there. States Altonina. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go back to the top and look at what they call it. Sometimes your government hides its corruption in plain sight. It's called right there, the second neighborhood infill, finance and transit improvement. What is the second neighborhood low-income housing that they're going to force on you after they steal your neighbor's land? Let's see what's going to happen there, Adam. By the way, Adam Carolla, just stay on him for one second. What complete divergent career paths Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla have taken. Can we just highlight that for a second? Do you remember 25

years ago, these guys were the host and co-host of The Man Show, a show that lived on Comedy Central that was famous for beer chugging and juggie dancing. And now Jimmy Kimmel has gone completely left, shill of the left, Adam Carolla has gone right and just keeping it real. And everything he said here, just sort of capturing the essence of what's going into California, very important. The reason I bring that up is this. I would love to see those two have a conversation. What do you think? What do you think? Apparently they're still friends, but apparently

they don't talk politics at all. Who do you think doesn't want to talk politics? Let me tell you what happened. Here's the question I want to ask you. Just last week, we did a clip on Kimmel. And I dared Kemmel to have a Republican up. And I said he wouldn't

do it, right? Apparently, the Fallon producer, some young person did that follows PBD podcast. heard it and took an idea to him, right? And said, hey, Fallon, let's shock the world and let's have Gutfield on. Are you kidding me? So the number one late night show, Greg Gutfeld, that beats these other guys, and he's on Fox News,

he goes on Jimmy Campbell, and guess what happened to the results? Tonight show rating soar to multi-year high on Gutfeld visit. So, by the way, kudos to Fallon's group for listening. And obviously Camel's going to do whatever Camel is doing because his show is going to be canceled here soon because he's not a late-night show host comedian. He is a pundit from CNN MSNBC that's placed into the late-night show

and Kemmel should simply resign and go to MSNBC. He should go to CNN instead of doing what he's doing. These are the numbers that came up. Gutfeld drew approximately 1.7 million viewers, a peak audience for the show since late 2023. This represented a season high regular non-sports sled in sports. In the key 25 to 54 demo, the episode attracted to 294,000 viewers marking a 13% increase over the average of 2024. According to Nielsen Live Plus same data, the viewership

increased during Gutfeld segment compared to the half hour before, unusual as late night show typically lose viewers over the hour. Maybe you ought to go to bed david.com, bed david consulting, and hire somebody from here to help you double your viewership because before you also have to shut down both of your shows because how embarrassing it is. Kimmel goes out there and has a 170-something guests who are all on the left. And the only conservative he ever brings is who? Liz Cheney. Guess what, Kimmel?

You got a shot at doing something as well yourself if you bring a conservative on. The fact that Fallon brought him on, I'm happy for them. And good for Gutfield to be in front of an audience that probably never watches them because they never watch Fox News. By the way, a lot of the Fallon audience was actually not happy. Oh, my God. His true fans. Yes.

We're not happy about Gutfield. Phil. But good for Fallon. I respect the fact that Fallon had him on, and I hope they continue doing this. And if they do, their producers listen, they're going to start getting a little bit more balanced than all of a sudden, oh shit, this model works. Of course it worked.

Because bring America on, not just Democrats on, or else you're just CNN. I fully agree with you, and I'm fully happy that you point that out. Here's the catch. Will Jimmy Fallon and his team have the balls to deal with the backlash? they will receive.

This one guy was outraged on Reddit and wrote a whole thing, basically saying there's no defense of this. Jimmy Fallon has always been soulless and weird. Do you have the wherewithal... Was that just a soapboxer or is that a real pundit? And do you have the chutzpah to basically say, I'm going to do this.

And here's the whole thing. They said, I can't believe he normalized the right. Normalized the right. Do you remember Jimmy Fallon was the guy that took Trump's hair, messed it all off, disheveled? it. The problem is this, and here's the essence of the problem of the left. Not only do they not think it's normal to have these guys, they don't think that these people are human. Why are you humanizing these people? Why are you humanizing Trump? Why are you normalizing these people on

Fox News? They are soulless, mag-extremists. Let's see if Jimmy Fallon, or Jimmy Kimball, for that matter, have anybody from the right on, because the backlash is going to be real. Here's another challenge for you. Let's see which one of you guys will pull it off first, because I guarantee to you, it'll be the most viewed show you've had, non-celebrities the next, the last whatever, 10 years. You ready? If Camel or Fallon, either one of them have Trump on, it'd be the most viewed

show you've had on, and your rating is going to go to the roof. If you can get Trump, but if you can get Trump, and he have the audacity to sit in front of them, and maybe even say a few words, and maybe Camel apologize for a couple things in a humorous way, not in a serious way, in a humorous way,

I think it'll be record-breaking. So guess what? If I'm producer for Fallon or Kemmel and I'm a competitive guy and I'm somewhat center. Let's say I'm a conservative gay man working for or libertarian producer who is a capitalist financially but socially you're liberal. Let's just say and you're working for Kemmel or Fallon but you're still competitive and you want to compete. You don't want to be the next Colbert where under your watch your show got canceled because that's on your resume. I'd be the one calling the White House and saying, Hey, man, what can we do to get the president?

Jimmy Fallon would like to extend an invite to the president, and we'd like to host them, and he can talk about whatever he wants to talk about. Whichever show gets them first. It shows you're open-minded, and the audience will show up. You'll see the audience will show up, and your viewers will go up. That's a crazy idea. I don't think they're going to do it.

To have people on you disagree with, that's crazy. Oh, my gosh. That's crazy. And by the way, over under. We've got to live in an echo chamber. Who do you think is more likely to have it? Camel or Fallon? Fallon. And who do you think Trump will most likely like to go back to?

Fallon. Fallon. Or Camel. Who do you think? Fallon. Oh, he would dishe... No, go back to Farrell. This time, don't touch the hair. It's my hair. A little fun fact.

Okay, I'm talking about... Well, who's you... By the way, what was the... Because we're... Hutzbo? You almost spit on the microphone. Jake said be careful because you're going to short the mic. That's true.

But, um... It means having some balls. The late-night Fallon show? Who's... You know who the executive producer of the Tonight show for Thallon is? Tell us. Lorne Michaels. SNL.

So that attitude, you guys are just anti-Republican, Trump hating what I, just look at SNL. Trump was on SNL. No, when? What year? When he did the hotline bling? Yeah, but what I'm saying is like you have to adjust. Just like with who's going by-bye, Stephen Colbert, you're losing 40 million, but the, the propaganda hate machine is so strong, Tommy. Are you, Vinnie, Vinny, are you saying that these people should not live in echo chambers?

What are you doing right now? I know this is weird, but if- Stop it. But what is that bubble? I got you. Guys, we're about to finish the podcast. Hey, this is the first week of us doing Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And it looks like you guys are loving it. The fact that we're going Monday, Wednesday, Friday,

because the numbers are skyrocketing on viewership, which is great. And we'll test this out for a few weeks. And if it works, we'll continue. Hopefully it'll work, guys.
