Starting point is 00:00:00 Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm so good, so you take sweet victory. Know this life meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever saw. It's right here. You are a 101.
Starting point is 00:00:20 I think I've already said this before. I'm the one. The best. Okay, episode 582. This is a big weekend. You got Formula One, you got Kentucky Derby. Either one you're going to, you're going to be in a good place. However, the Lakers lost last night.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Oh no. Minnesota, 4-1 for the people that don't watch sports. Did you hear what LeBron said? LeBron said, they asked him a question about center. He says, well, the last guy that said something about the center position got traded. Oh my God, you know, it's like, give me, you said it best.
Starting point is 00:00:53 LeBron to you is who? LeBron James is the Rachel Zegler of the NBA. LeBron James is the Rachel Zegler of the NBA. Just a better performer. Because I don't know if Rachel's a great actor or not. Enjoy your summer vacation, King. Yeah, so anyways, Tom, that sounded angry. We're not angry.
Starting point is 00:01:09 We're just talking sports. I'm disappointed. I was a Laker fan since I was a kid. I feel like I can't be a Laker fan now. And if he wants to be like that, and he wants to be here again. But Luca, they traded for Luca. I thought that would work out.
Starting point is 00:01:18 We got a big announcement to make. We got a big announcement we'll be making here today. And on top of that, we got a lot of stories. This is the final story onto the weekend. Everybody's leaving town. We're gonna jump on a plane and get out of here and for some of you that are going to the Derby, we will see you at the Derby. We were there last year, we're going back again this year. We're taking the whole fam. We're excited about it. We love the tradition of what happens at the Derby. Now, yesterday I was on a
Starting point is 00:01:42 panel with NewsNation with Bill O'Reilly, with Stephen A. Smith, President Trump called in, Chris Cuomo put it together, James Carville was there, a bunch of people were there. Yeah, he was. And President Trump called in and they asked, what do you think about Stephen A. Smith? I like him, he's good on TV, I think he should run in 2028, so he kind of gave him that endorsement, it was great. And Stephen A. Smith looked like embarrassed and like dismayed. Yeah, no, but he liked it. Of course, he's like, no, yes. And by the way, he should run. The only thing is the guy sitting to his left, James Carville, is the same person that said,
Starting point is 00:02:12 you know how to talk about sports, but shut your mouth when it comes down to politics. Shut up and dribble. Yeah, so I don't know if that party is going to allow him to run, but it's a different story. Guys, few things. Michelle Obama, I mean, she said something really confused the hell out of a lot of people and I, you know, maybe we'll play it and you know, maybe we will, maybe we won't, who knows.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Seven numbers to define Trump's first hundred days. Trump wants free passage through Suez Canal in exchange for Houthi's bombing campaign. Trump predicts China would eat tariffs, lessening US impact. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced trade deal with unidentified country Done done done done by the way did you know Paul Williams work with Howard Lutnick for five years directly our Paul Williams Paul Williams worked for Howard Lutnick for 15 years stop it directly 15. What do you say anything great experience? So anyways So we got that one.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Trump, I think we have a deal with India on tariffs and trade. Yes we do. 60 million iPhones, guys. UPS cutting 20,000 jobs due to fewer Amazon shipments. New York City lost $9 billion of income to Miami and Palm Beach in five years. Elon Musk no longer working from the White House. He's talking to him on the phone. Leading national Democrats are now calling for outright violence.
Starting point is 00:03:32 I think this is about Pritzker who said a few words. Canada's conservative Paul Yev also lost his parliament in Stunning Falls. Do we need to keep beating this guy? Do people get the point that this guy was lazy, didn't want to work hard and was afraid of the liberal media? Do we need to keep talking about how embarrassing of a loss Pierre had? Can we just leave this guy alone who lost in the worst possible way in the history of politics that I've paid him? We gotta leave this guy alone. We should leave him alone, but I'd like to add he lost his own seat, which is really
Starting point is 00:04:01 embarrassing. That's embarrassing. But guys, enough with these- I'll leave him alone. I won't mention that. You keep adding these stories, Rob, of Canada. I think deep down inside Rob's got a little bit of. He doesn't like Pierre Pauli-Vellier. Where's your family from Rob? What is the family lineage when you do ancestry? Italy and Ireland. That makes sense. And the capital on January 6th. I get it. A bunch of drugs. Alright so Ukraine ready to sign the US resource deal as early as Wednesday I thought it was done but as early as Wednesday Wednesday is yesterday So ten wars paying college majors five years after graduation folks You have to see this and see if there's any politics involved with any of these jobs before you get your kids To ask you for a $200,000 School loan or whatever you're gonna be spending out of pocket, make sure you pay attention to these 10 jobs.
Starting point is 00:04:46 That crisis deepens as one in four Americans forced to choose between bills and basics. TSMC starts building third Arizona FAB to ramp up US expansion. That's big. Tom's got some thoughts on that. Internal Harvard report criticized the school's response to anti-Semitism. This is actually very, very funny and revealing. We'll talk about that. California Democrats, you ready for this?
Starting point is 00:05:13 This is why I can't wait for Kamala Harris to be the governor of California. Pay attention to this folks. California Democrats want to decriminalize welfare fraud under $25,000. You do welfare fraud under $25,000? What do welfare fraud under 25, what's the big deal? I mean, come on guys, these poor, do you know what they're going through? Do you know what they're going through and you wanna add additional pressure to them
Starting point is 00:05:35 just because they did something that's criminal under $25,000? Leave these people alone. Let's go after some real US citizens, you know what I'm saying? Let's target some real Californians and hurt those people that are creating jobs not these poor people California Democrats block ready Bill to make sex trafficking on minors a felony again
Starting point is 00:05:59 Again, they blocked it Scott Jennings tell CNN that host Trump cleared up Scott Jennings, the CNN host, Trump cleared up, cleaned up the biggest mess on border. Van Jones, Dems haven't figured out a position beyond outrage at Trump. And Musk's exclusive 71% believe media rigs polls to fit political agenda. No, no way. Nobody would ever believe such a thing. And we got a couple other tariff stories here. JD Vancey raps over press focus on fake BS doing spectacular. Whitmer. Trump allowed Whitmer to come
Starting point is 00:06:31 up and speak at a military event. It's like wait, she was, you have to see the face on her face. This is Michigan governor who hates Trump. President Trump gives her the stage. She doesn't even know how to handle it. She didn't even know how to thank Trump. She didn't thank him. You have to hear how she talks. Trump, a guy that's trying to unify, maybe allow him to say, look, I don't mind, you say a couple words, beautiful move on him,
Starting point is 00:06:53 gotta love it, scary move on her. And then President Trump did an interview with ABC that if you haven't watched, it was heated from the beginning to the end. I got a handful of clips I want you to see. I think it's worth watching on what happened there So having said that we got some big news We'll make the announcement here in a minute about a new show cannot wait to tell you about it has to do something to do
Starting point is 00:07:11 With a direct competitor to the view so hang tight But I want to tell you what happened so this lemon campaign that we launched on Thursday with the box Okay, that was launched that all of you guys You know many of you saw those of you that did in this box That's being shipped to people who are going through a lot of different things today, to make their day. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade with a lemon hat in it and a presentation with a video of me speaking to them, giving them a message here, I'm going to press pause here.
Starting point is 00:07:39 There was so many accountants, one accountant sent it to 11 clients, lawyers, realtors, insurance folks using it, but then we had a chance to read the note of what some people were writing to their clients. I'm not going to give the names, I just want to read the notes to you. Our staff, when I'm reading this, our marketing team, they're in tears, literally when I'm reading this to them. I'm not going to say the name, okay, They put the name there, then says, sending you some love to help lift your heart up today and wanted to say again how sorry I am with Susan's passing.

Starting point is 00:08:51 I'm telling you, the more I was reading these notes, the more emotional we were getting ourselves. I love the fact that the Valuetainment audience is taking time to order something, to ship to somebody else, to make their day. How awesome is this that we're doing this? So for all of you guys that placed your order, I love that the fact that you're doing this. We're wired the same exact way.

And then also for the mothers out there, you asked for it, we wanted to do it. We know this audience is 80% men, but 20% women. It used to be 90%. The female audience has grown in a major way.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Rob, if you want to play the clip, Mother's Day is around the corner next week and we got a bunch of VT mom gear, stuff that's out there.

Moms love you, place an order for the mothers out there that watch PBD Podcast and Valuetainment. Having said that, let's get right into it.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Here's an interview President Trump does yesterday with ABC. Rob, pull up a few of the clips if you can and we'll go one by one by one. This fellow, I've not seen him, maybe he's somebody that's done this before, I'm sure he is because he is representing ABC. The President agreed to do the interview with them, ABC. This is the only interview that was done on the 100 days, so President Trump has a lot of options, trust me, a lot of people are asking him to do it. He agreed to do it with ABC, and here's what ended up happening. I want to show you a couple of options, trust me, a lot of people are asking him to do it. He agreed to do it with ABC, and here's what ended up happening. I want to show you a couple of the clips. Here's the first clip.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Rob, is this the clip about the fact that the referrals, you know, did you know that there's any referrals? How do you know? Is this that one? Yep. Let's start off with that one here. Watch this here, folks. Go ahead, Rob.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Fraud is a crime. There have been no referrals to the Justice Department on any of these. Well, you don't know that, do you? How do you know that? Have there been referrals to the, are there do you? How do you know that? Have there been referrals to the head? Why would you know that? Watch what happens.
Starting point is 00:11:29 There were no referrals. I think there were referrals. They generally are. There's been no investigation from the justice department. How do you know that? I'm asking you, sir. No, you're not asking me. You made a statement.
Starting point is 00:11:39 That's right. Now I'm asking you. That was a statement that you made. There had been. I'm asking you. Have there been? Yes, there have been. So there have been referrals for fraud from the work I have been take a look at some of these things that took place millions of dollars
Starting point is 00:11:51 We give it to people for no reason whatsoever of course Wasp in the light I'm okay. I'm all good with it So when you see something like that Tom when you see something like that, do you react to when you see there's no referrals there was referrals? Do you read into to the fact that you know? You know when there's sometimes a communication that they're working with the intelligence agency some of these big companies like ABC Would you just kind of look at it as no he's just spitballing and trying to corner the president Well, first of all ABC got caught because ABC didn't think there was any referrals
Starting point is 00:12:23 And so they were going with the statement to start the assertive part of The interview with not looking like you're attacking the president make a statement that attacks the president Do you see what I mean? Let this let the fact attacked him. There have been no referrals to the Justice Department He's like you don't know that and see what they don't know and don't understand is there are closed hearings That's not what a grand jury is about You'll hear a grand jury has been convened in Miami to look into this and those are closed. We don't know who's in there as witnesses. We don't know what the DA is looking at. Sometimes you hear what the topics are. And so they come out and make that statement and he slapped
Starting point is 00:12:57 them. He absolutely bitch slapped them. You don't know that. What are you talking about? You don't know that. It says there have been referrals. And now the guy's like, I'm asking you, sir. That's the recovery. Oh, I'm asking you, sir. That wasn't his angle. Now here's another one. Here's the other one about the MS-13 tattoos
Starting point is 00:13:15 where look what happens with this one. Go ahead, Rob. Murderers, criminals in this country, we have to get them out and we're doing it. And you'll pick out one man, but even the man that you picked out, he said he wasn't a member of a gang. And then they looked and on his knuckles, he had MS-13.
Starting point is 00:13:33 There's a dispute over that. Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. He had MS-13 on his knuckles tattoo. He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way. But let's move on. Wait a minute. Terry, Terry, Terry.
Starting point is 00:13:44 He did not have the letter MS-13. It says MS-13. That was Photoshopped. So let me just. That was Photoshopped, Terry, you can't do that. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you,
Starting point is 00:13:58 but that's okay. I picked you, Terry. But you're not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed. We'll agree to disagree. I wanna move on to something else. Terry, do you're not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... We'll agree to disagree. I want to move on to something else. Terry, do you want me to show you the picture? I saw the picture. We'll agree to disagree. Oh, and you think it was Photoshopped?
Starting point is 00:14:12 Here we go. Here we go. Well, don't Photoshop it. Go look at his hand. He had MS-13. He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert on them. I want to turn to Ukraine. No, no. Terry, Terry. No, no. He had MS as clear as you can be, not interpreted. This is why people no longer believe... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no your picture. Terry, he's got MS-13 on his knuckles. All right. Okay. Can you go, I wanna see what Blaze put on there.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Can you zoom in on what Blaze put on there? So he had MS-13 tattoo on his knuckle. He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way. It says MS-13, it was Photoshopped. Do you want me to show you the photo? I'm not an expert, unreal. So Vinny, what do you know about this one here? Technically, because me and Jake were talking about it,
Starting point is 00:15:02 the guy didn't have actually MS-13. he had four symbols that translate in the gang world like the marijuana is the M there's three other things that on that that all it is Rob I just sent you some it stands for MS-13 but the one that he's talking about was actually somebody put MS-13 no no no there's four there's two pictures there's one picture that shows marijuana, which is the M. The S is Rob, if you have the picture, Rob. There's like a smile, I want to say, like a smiley face. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:15:32 And there's a cross. Zoom in, Rob. And then there's a skeleton. The cross is the one. And this three I's is the three. Yeah, exactly. But he's saying it said MS-13, it didn't say it. You have to basically spell it out because they're not gonna put it.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I know it doesn't say MS-13, but I mean, look, when I was in the Army and my drill sergeant had three dots tattooed in his eyes and they kept asking him, hey, drill sergeant, what's up with the three dots? He says, these are moles. And I pulled him aside, when they no once, I said, I know, I'm not gonna say something
Starting point is 00:16:02 because we follow each other. I said, you realize what those three things mean? He starts smiling. I said, I know I'm not gonna say them because we've followed I said I said you realize what those three things mean Yeah, he starts smiling. I said look I got respect. I'm just saying yeah, I know what that means Teardrop means something the three dots means my crazy life, but there is meanings to it like Like is that technically when you're in the people you when you take off your shirt And you're running and your stomach says 13th Street Oh and and the drill sergeant asks you Why do you have a tattoo of 13th Street you can you don't just say I still live on the streets I never wanted to get lost everybody knows like if I ever you ever kill me, please take me to my family on 13th Street That's right. All sorts of things. There's symbols everywhere that mean sentences, right? You you know there's one my favorite t-shirts I love country music but we
Starting point is 00:16:48 probably shouldn't show the symbols but people can Google it exactly what I'm talking about these are country but people see it all the time symbols make sentences so funny that is so freaking. That is so freaking funny. Get the, Hillary? Oh, okay. Country music. All right, I see this one. Well, Tom, you are so dirty. I love it.
Starting point is 00:17:09 No, no, no, no, no, but the symbols, there are symbols and tattoos all the way. And so if ABC, there it is. He really is. If ABC wants to say, oh, it's not this or that, it didn't say MS-13 in Spanish. Come on, ABC. And that guy, you said you were given the opportunity
Starting point is 00:17:23 of a lifetime. This is where reporters get into trouble. Rob, can you put up the one that he says about Pete Hexett, 100%, do you have the 100% one? Here's one that's so interesting where he says, this is the dumbest, stupidest question I've heard. Go ahead, Rob. Signal chat with his wife on it where he's discussing that attack in Yemen. There's another signal chat discussing the attack on Yemen.
Starting point is 00:17:41 There's a reporter accidentally involved. You said the other day that you There's a reporter accidentally involved. You said the other day that you had a talk with the secretary. Did you take him to the woodshed? I had a talk with him and whatever I said, I probably wouldn't be inclined to tell you, but we had a good talk. He's a talented guy. He's young, smart, highly educated. And I think he's going to be a very good defense, hopefully a great defense secretary, but he'll be a very good defense secretary. You have 100% confidence in-
Starting point is 00:18:12 I don't have 100% confidence in anything, okay? Anything, do I have 100%? It's a stupid question. Look- It's pretty important- I have, no, no, no. You don't have 100%. Only a liar would say I have 100% confidence.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I don't have 100% confidence that we're going to finish this interview. Let's go. Oh, he's such a... This is why people vote for this guy. He just doesn't give like... he doesn't let you walk over. This interview is probably worth two percentage points on approval rating because this is people you know they keep saying on Twitter did you vote for this is this who you vote for like certain to certain brothers who are complete tools keep sending these out then yeah well guess what if you put this out there you're gonna get you're
Starting point is 00:18:59 gonna get half a million people say yes that guy is what I voted and you know because I want to ask you guys a question though, so ABC gets this interview, do they coach this guy? Do they tell, I don't even know his name, do they say, hey listen, when you go in there, push and punch and it doesn't help them? For sure they coach the guy to know what to say, what not to say.
Starting point is 00:19:18 There's a part in the interview that I love when he says, the people didn't vote for this, for tariffs, do you know what his answer is? Do you know, Rob, can you find that one? But Mr. President, the people didn't vote for this. He says, sure they did. This is what they voted for. Sure they did.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yesterday when I was on the panel and Chris asked me a question about, hey, what do you think about all this stuff that's going on and da-da-da-da-da. I said, what do you mean? How many times did the president need to tell you his favorite word in the dictionary is tariffs? Tariffs. It's a beautiful word. What part of tariffs was a surprise to anybody?
Starting point is 00:19:49 Exactly. The number one enemy that we have is China, who didn't do any of the agreements on the terms that we had, and now you want him to sit there and just allow them to do whatever they want to do? He says, no, we're not doing that. He says, first of all, people voted for this. There's a part of it. I don't know if you can find that, Rob, or not.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Is that the one, Rob? I'm looking forward to it. Okay, keep looking forward. But Adam, when you see this interview here with the two exchanges, with ABC, what do you think this does to, do you think the president needs to do more of these things? Well, there's a common theme here, and I think these reporters are actually taking the complete opposite approach that you should be taken with Trump rather than getting on there and disguise an interview with some sort of moral grandstanding and try to have gotcha questions and basically
Starting point is 00:20:34 try to grill Trump and make a name for yourself. I would actually take the opposite approach, try to actually extract information out of the president United States and Win him over and say you know what that was a tough interview, but I respect it You didn't try to get me because Trump is so used to this How many times has Trump sat down with a person just like this? Oh and just For years here whip him up. So, you know, whether it's their bosses whether it's the executive producers whether it's the owners of whoever Saying you got to get him. You got to hold them accountable That doesn't work
Starting point is 00:21:10 Well in the long run in the short run you might get a quick little clip that you might get you and gotcha But in the end he's never gonna come back to you again How many did he then he end up suing CBS for something of some capacity? 60 minutes I want to say for a fake Kamala. Yes. And it's a key part of their merger going on right now that they have to reconcile the suit exactly before federal sex will let it close. If I was a reporter, I would I'd be firm but fair.
Starting point is 00:21:39 This is a serious interview with the president United States on day 100. Correct. And I think it's just a horrible look to try to get you and with gotcha questions. Here's a clip. Here's a clip that I was talking about, about tariffs. Rob, go ahead. People are worried, even some people who voted for you, saying, I didn't sign up for this. So how do you answer those concerns? Well, they did sign up for it actually. And this is what I campaigned on. I said that we've been abused by other countries at levels that nobody's ever seen before.
Starting point is 00:22:11 We were losing $3 to $5 billion a day on trade. Concern out there. People are. I love that. You know why that's important is, you know when we're given the score, and I gave whatever, I gave C minus on results, you have a big pipeline in sales, everyone's like, how could you give something like that? I said, dude, I've been in sales for my entire life,
Starting point is 00:22:31 okay, pretty much. When you have a pipeline of 100 clients that you're trying to close, say this one's gonna be a $16,000 commission, this one's gonna be 38,000, 2200, 4200, but if you haven't closed the 100 clients you have in the pipeline, you don't get a grade on the leader in the pipeline, you don't get a
Starting point is 00:22:45 grade on the leaders bulletin. You get a low grade. You get a grade on a massive pipeline, but guess what? Once they start closing, then all of a sudden, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, you move up on the leaders bulletin. But this was one of the promises that he made. And I knew it was going to get scary for some. We do engagements for our consulting firm.
Starting point is 00:23:05 You can go to betdavid.com and see it for about 10,000 business owners, give or take from 60 plus countries. And we talk to them. What's the challenge you're going through? What are you feeling? We talked about this in Mar-a-Lago last week. If you remember in the room, well, I'm like, tell me the pain you're feeling. What are you going through?
Starting point is 00:23:22 Here's how we're negotiating this. Here's how we're dealing with this. We're not using somebody else. We were using China. Now we're negotiating this, here's how we're dealing with this, we're not using somebody else. We were using China, now we're going to Vietnam, now we're going to Singapore, now we're going with this. You're seeing what they're going through, but the reality of it is, this is what you voted for.
Starting point is 00:23:34 If you knew the guy said here's what he's going to be doing, he has to go and finish the job with tariffs. And the last clip I want to play off this, Rob, if you have it, there's one last one I think that you have. Do you know which one I'm talking about where at the end he says ABC is the worst? Is this the one? Let's wrap up with this one here. Watch this, folks.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Do you think the reputation of the United States has gone down under your presidency? No, I think it's gone way up and I think we're a respected country again. We were left at all over the world. We had a president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs, couldn't walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't walk across the stage without falling. We had a president that was grossly incompetent. You knew it, I knew it, and everybody knew it, but you guys didn't want to write it because you're fake news. Oh! All right. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:24:17 By the way, ABC is one of the worst. I have to be honest with you. Thank you. Do you think the… By the way, ABC is one of the worst. I have to be very honest with you. Do you know, like when I sit there and I think about why would he do this, he did this just to say that to their face. Just to say that to their face. On how dishonest of a media empire you've built and what you've done.
Starting point is 00:24:38 And it was so bad that Whoopi Goldberg apparently was being asked on the show to promote the interview that's coming up and I don't even think she wanted to promote the interview. It felt like, remember when Sonny Huston had to do the retract, oh Tom she had to give a legal statement for multiple times for all the dumb crap that comes out of her mouth. Whoopi, the show's rapping and you could tell that a producer's saying, hey don't forget to mention the episode and look at this, I love this. It's stuff they do all the time. Hey coming up later, ABC World News Tonight and an interview with Trump and she's like, I can't do this She couldn't it hurt her to say it but it gives me so much satisfaction because of this
Starting point is 00:25:13 This show being one of the worst shows and I know you haven't you find it. This is actually I have it I'm it's gonna take a second. I'm in that so and I and that's wipe and I'm so happy with your announcement Pat that's gonna be coming up. This is the worst show out and I'm shocked that people watch it. Is this it, Rob? This is it. Go for it. Watch this, folks. You have every right to say, I don't like what's going on.
Starting point is 00:25:34 You have every right to say, why am I paying for this when this is not, I didn't have a fight with anybody. We're just trying to get through. Yes, I see you. And I know you want me to say this. So let me say it. You see that? You can hear his view of the first 100 days
Starting point is 00:25:50 on an exclusive interview tonight on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern and streaming afterwards on Hulu Disney Plus and ABC News Live. That might be another reason he did it, just to have them have to promote him. You're promoting the president that your existence of the show is just hate and I love it. She's getting too much air time on the fact that this happened. I do not concern myself with her relevance. Yeah and you know what I'm glad you tell us your thoughts about that but when it comes on to with The View, right?
Starting point is 00:26:25 Where they're at. There's a lot of ladies that want to have another show that they can listen to. So for months we've been talking about it. We've been talking to hundreds of women and we have right now a deep roster of ladies and we are launching a new show that we've already shot this week. We had, you're going to see who it is, we had Jillian Michaels, Lindy Lee, Anna Kasparian, Amy Danger, and we had Elizabeth Pipko here, and wait till you hear who else is gonna be on the show
Starting point is 00:26:52 here soon, the show is called Her Take, and I want you to get a glimpse of what this is gonna look like, go ahead Rob. Welcome to Her Take, where real conversation happens. We just take a step back and ask a broader question? I'm actually with Trump on this. It's one of the reasons why I left the Democratic Party. Let's talk about the mistake though, Lindy.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Let's talk about the mistake for a second, okay? He had a legitimate asylum claim. Intersex, pansexual, true spirit. What the heck is a true spirit? Give it to me in English and then dumb it down to sixth grade level. I wake up in the morning and I have no spirit. So I'm kind of like, are they really marginalized?
Starting point is 00:27:27 Can I borrow one? Like, geez. I will be the first one to say that birth control destroyed my life. The goal is to create lifelong medical patients because that is passive residual income. Full them every week, every month, till the end of that person's life.
Starting point is 00:27:42 You've got real conversations that happen here. Different voices collide, clash, and sometimes even connect. There are no scripts, no echo chambers, and just smart and spirited debates. Ladies, are you ready to jump in? Let's do this. Let's do this. There you go.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Finally. Finally. Finally. Let's go, baby. Cannot wait. It was great. It's funny because they came through, they saw the campus. We have it set up where soon there'll be a live event with live attendance in place.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And then the distribution, the talent, 150 full-time employees that we have in-house right now that are helping support everything that we're doing. Cannot wait. By the way, we're talking to so many different ladies that want to be part of the first show, scheduling all this other stuff. Stay tuned. You're going to see what's going to be coming of the first show, scheduling all this other stuff. Stay tuned. You're going to see what's going to be coming up. But tomorrow, this will be launched on Hurtake.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Rob, can we put the channel below, folks? Can you go support it? If you love these ladies, if you love this idea, go support it. If you need, if you want an opposition, a different angle of a show to what's going on there, go to Hurtake. Put it in the chat. Please support it. It will be launched tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:28:44 You'll see the trailer all over the place here today. Okay, so Rob, do you have the minerals deal that we're talking about? We saw President Trump and Zelensky sit down together and have a conversation together, right? It's the legendary picture that we all saw, love which he pushes macrona side is like listen You know not right now for you, buddy. You're not no security guard take a hike you yeah, and then they sat there and You know Zelinsky keeps the lane the lane the lane the lane the lane Eventually us and Ukraine signed a mineral deal given the u.s
Starting point is 00:29:27 deal, given the U.S. preferential access to Ukrainian mineral resources and establishing a joint investment fund for reconstruction with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. Good for you, Scott Besant and Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Siverdenko signing the accord with the Treasury stated clearly signals the Trump administration's commitment to a free and sovereign prosperous Ukraine. Rob, if you want to play this clip, here's Scott Besant. Thanks to President Trump's tireless efforts to secure a lasting peace, I am glad to announce the signing of today's historic economic partnership agreement between the United States
Starting point is 00:30:01 and Ukraine, establishing the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine's growth assets, mobilize American talent, capital, and governance standards that will improve Ukraine's investment climate and accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery. The Development Finance Corporation will participate and help to establish this
Starting point is 00:30:30 fund in collaboration with the government of Ukraine. Today's agreement signals clearly to Russian leadership that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term. It's time for this cruel and senseless war to end. The killing must stop and both the United States and the government of Ukraine look forward to quickly operationalizing this historic economic partnership. Great stuff. Tom, your thoughts?
Starting point is 00:31:05 Well, I love this because the markets are gonna love this. The markets are gonna see this as a sign. Also, China is gonna see this as a sign. This is very, very big. And if Greenland was posturing, remember, Greenland has an opportunity to get US dollars too with their agreements. And what we wanna do in Greenland is prevent China
Starting point is 00:31:27 from having a similar deal there. But now Greenland, you know what? You better play ball here because if you want big dollars for your rare earth minerals, you gotta take a look at this and see that you gotta sign up. But what this does, this takes it one step closer to peace, and it now allows us to get the rare earth minerals that we want.
Starting point is 00:31:51 And by the way, you'll notice this is a joint investment fund. So there's opportunities, apparently, for US large investors, like the banking community, or corporate investors. No one will like this word, but people like Halliburton, who build large projects. They build power. They build dams. They build all kinds one will like this word, but people like Halliburton who build large projects. They build power, they build dams, they build all kinds of things like this. And so this is going to allow the rebuild of Ukraine, which means Ukraine can return
Starting point is 00:32:14 to full economic status at some point in the future. It's going to take a lot of rebuilding, but it's going to get there. This is a good thing. This is a win. This is a win on the 100 days, and this should calm the markets who have been concerned about this and most of all It should settle the nerves of people that were worried about China flanking on rare earth minerals How much much time like how much money potentially does this like deal? Bring to the United States. What are we talking about ball?
Starting point is 00:32:43 I don't know if the dollar figure to the United States, but the rare earth minerals, there's hundreds of billions of dollars of rare earth minerals there. And so that lithium, cobalt, and things like this that need, that are necessary for modern technology. It's not the way to look at it. The way to look at it is not dollar.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Sometimes you do a deal that we get a certain technology and the benefit is speed, the benefit is a relationship, the benefit is a new market, the benefit is a new territory. This minerals deal is so important because it shows China is not happy about this because China also has the minerals. China is worried the fact that this just happened because America now just got a lifeline. It's like you know that video game you play, racer, and you press the checkpoint, you got 45 more seconds. This just gave us five more years of being able to take our time with minerals when it
Starting point is 00:33:37 comes down to China. China wanted Ukraine to take their time with us for as long as possible. This is not good. Russia on the other end right now, sitting down and saying, well, because Russia's also got the minerals that's in Donbass, that's the whole thing that they're right now. They have control of Donbass right now,
Starting point is 00:33:54 if I'm not mistaken. So for them, yeah, and so for them, it's kind of like, well, we have some good minerals as well. We do, but guess what, Zelensky came to the table and Trump getting this deal done is actually a very good thing. Adam, your thoughts on this. Yeah, I think this is, I agree with you, this isky came to the table and Trump getting this deal done is actually very good thing. Adam, your thoughts on this?
Starting point is 00:34:06 Yeah, I think this is, I agree with you. This is not just about the minerals. This is not just about the economics of it. This is a geopolitical statement. The United States is basically saying, despite all the chaos out there about people that don't like Zelensky and they're more, you know, unified with Putin, United States came out and made a statement and said, we are partnering up with Ukraine for the long term, but we're also going to get something out of it. And our partners are going to get something out
Starting point is 00:34:33 of this. And you know who the big loser is here? Putin. Because Putin is basically trying to strong arm everybody. The last tweet that Trump had was about Putin. Putin, stop! Vladimir, stop! I would love to see Putin's response here because everyone's been trying to pull out of Ukraine. Everyone has not, you know, I think public sentiment has been declining month over month over month, but the United States basically just showed up like a big badass big brother and said, nope, we got your back, but you're going to pay us back. Yeah, I like this deal.
Starting point is 00:35:05 I like that this is taking place and you know, as this goes, what is this Rob, you just got here. Just landed in Rome, a good day in talks with meetings with Russia and Ukraine. They are very close to a deal and two sides should now meet at very high levels to finish it off. Most of the major points are agreed upon, stop the bloodshed now. We will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate the end to this cruel and senseless war. That's leadership. We will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate, help facilitate, help facilitate the end to this
Starting point is 00:35:40 cruel and senseless war. And by the way, you know what's the one of the things he kept saying in the ABC interview? He says, you know, this isn't my war, that's Biden's war. And by the way, you know what's the one of the things he kept saying in the ABC interview? He says, you know, this isn't my war, that's Biden's war. This isn't my war, this is Biden's war. This isn't my war, this is Biden's war. He kept saying it. I'm trying to stop Biden's war that he started. It's such a great point.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Rob, did he literally just put that up? No, that was Friday of last week when he landed in Rome, but it was in reference to what Adam had said, the stop Putin tweet. I love love that bold prediction real quick. If he stops this war, I mean sooner rather than later, despite what the left leaning media and infrastructure of the world would want to see, I think Trump will win a Nobel peace prize. I mean, nobody on that side wants to see it. You've said this, you stopped this war. He, he should be definitely qualified. I think Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize for nothing. When is when his first year for what? Nothing. Zero. We all understand
Starting point is 00:36:35 the Berlin wall. So it's all playing politics. Trump is actually in the game, hopefully change in some stuff. I have a question. Trump grabs Zelensky and McCrone is trying to leech on and he tells him to back up and he wants to talk to him. What would you think that he's telling him to make this happen? What type of dialogue do you think happened in that moment? I think it's every emotion you need. Let me tell you what that emotion is.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Rob, is this it? Play the clip. Play the clip. I'll tell you. Every emotion you need is used let me tell you what that emotion is. Rob, is this it, Rob? Play the clip. Play the clip. I'll tell you, every emotion you need is used in here. This is a pro here. You're not talking to Reggie. Look at Matt Cron. Okay, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:37:12 We don't need you. We'll... Listen, I'm gonna just sit with this guy. Get out of here. We'll be with you. I don't even know if he was trying to go. Now that I see the body language, he was just saying hello. We'll just step aside.
Starting point is 00:37:21 We'll have the conversation. Boom. Bingo. So, but this is what I'm saying. You know what is there? Here's what you need. So, what are the qualities? Four qualities.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Loved, feared, respected, liked. At different phases of your life, you use those four in different ways. As a father, when you're two years old, you don't need to use fear. It's your kid. Fear doesn't work at two years old. There is a wasp in your orb.
Starting point is 00:37:52 And Vinny's losing his shit with this guy. Can somebody come kill this guy so I can get Vinny's full attention please? He's right here. We need to kill this guy. Rob, can you get somebody to come in? That guy's fine. No, get somebody to come in here before we get this guy.
Starting point is 00:38:04 So I'm allergic. That guy's fine. I'm gonna fucking badass guys, come on. Adam, get somebody to come in here before we get this guy. So I'm allergic. I'm gonna fucking bad ass. Adam, Adam, you're gonna do it. Adam, he's no, no, too much. It's all right. Adam, sit down. Let's sit down. Adam, sit down. Adam. Okay. Fear, loved, respected, liked. Can you hang in there? Yeah, I know you know you can. I'm on my way. I'm about to finish. Okay, in this case, in this instance, I guarantee there's fear being used. I guarantee there's fear being used. Like how, what do you think he's saying? Let me tell you, here's what I'm gonna say to you.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Listen man, let me tell you. I don't know how you negotiated with Biden, I'm not Biden. You play this game with me again, I will do everything in my power to make your life a living hell. And you know you don't want to go there. I want to make this deal happen.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Too many innocent people are dying. You know you can stop that. Somewhere deep down inside you love your country. And I'm going to do it in a way for you to save face. I'm not going to embarrass you. But you've been embarrassing me for the last two months and haven't said anything about it. Now you want to do this?
Starting point is 00:39:01 I'm going to play hardball. Don't do that. Let's get a deal in place. Let's make this a big spectacle, something part of your legacy that you were the one. You didn't start the war. Putin started the war. Why don't we collectively work together where your legacy is. You stopped the war to save so many people's lives.
Starting point is 00:39:17 You did that. You want to be that hero? I'm going to help you happen. And I'll tell the world about what a great job you did. But you better sign the deal. I think that's the kind of communication. I think that's how it happened. And I fully see that happening and I think you'll receive it.
Starting point is 00:39:29 And obviously they signed a deal now, moving forward. But let me read this next thing here. Trump eases auto tariffs burden as Lutnik touts first foreign trade deal. This is a Reuter story. President Trump signs orders to ease auto tariffs, ordering carmakers two years ago, Rob, I think I got a video on this, to increase domestic components with credits offsetting tariffs on imported parts at 3.75% of the manufacturer's suggested retail price through April 2026 and 2.5% through April 2027, stating we just wanted to help them.
Starting point is 00:40:03 If they can't get parts, we didn't want to penalize them Rob if this is the clip going to play the clip Done done done done, but I need to wait for their prime minister and their Parliament to give its approval Which I expect shortly I'm not gonna tell you what country Just you and me here and a couple million people Hopefully let the president decide so and then there are country after country where we're just working through the details we have to remember they have prime ministers they have Parliament they have to work through their process but all of these are going to be coming and what they're going to
Starting point is 00:40:36 be is they're going to be incredibly smart time thoughts well I'll tell you um there's got a fact check there, that was CNBC guy saying, and a couple million people watching, so in the morning they don't get that kind of rating. So the second part is that this is good, this is another win, and I'll reflect it in this way. You know where the S&P is right now, Pat, at the second? I was just checking right now where's it at 5630 okay so guess what what we've now we're now I believe at six point nine percent where we were so in other words the markets are continuing to recover and why are they
Starting point is 00:41:13 recovered they were covering with W's this is a W because what he's allowing to happen so Trump squeezed hard and then what did the American automakers say you know what we'll try to get more domestic parts. We'll try to source from other things. We'll try to do less China That's exactly what the art of the deal wanted and guess what? That's good for America That's good for American workers in certain sectors. And so this doesn't do everything But they're also talking about this is a first foreign trade deal and now a deal they're doing. So this is, you know, we also saw this is the emergence of India and this is US companies diversifying their supply chain, all of which is calming things down. And by the way, watch what the Ford CEO said on this. Ford CEO on Trump's tariffs.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Watch this, folks. This is very interesting. Go ahead. Well, first of all, Ford is really different. We make 80% in the US, more than any other manufacturer. Great name. In fact, we made 400,000 more vehicles than our next competitor, and that would fill up the entire island of Manhattan. That's how big of a gap we've made. So look, we think this is really great for the country.
Starting point is 00:42:22 We really support the President's initiative. We never left the America on car production. That's how you do it for. This moderation is reasonable. I think for mostly our competitors, they need more time, but at Ford we're in good shape. And this is the right thing to do. You know what this makes me want to do this week in Kentucky? Watch Ford versus Ferrari again. Good for you, Ford. By the way, can I add something? Please.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Alan Mullally, does anybody remember who Alan Mullally was? When it was time for TARP, the CEO of Ford was Alan Mullally. And by the way, I spoke to him for about five minutes at the famous Jobs and Gates event. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he was there talking to Microsoft about putting Microsoft sync in Ford cars. Remember when the dashboard was Microsoft sync? Yeah. And here's what he said there, I didn't take
Starting point is 00:43:16 a private jet to the hearings. Remember when the automakers were summoned to the hearings on Capitol Hill at the time of TARP, I didn't take a private jet, number one. Number two, Ford paid it back, the part that they took, but they didn't take the big part. So if you look back at times of economic crisis like 2008, 2009 with Ford, and now you look now, there's been something with Ford as a company that has not taken from America and has tried to, and I think this is legacy of vision and leadership because it goes all the way back then.
Starting point is 00:43:51 And I give credit to them and I give credit to CEO Farley, well done, and I also go back to Alan Mulally and what they did back at that time. Good for them. Good for them. Yeah, by the way, General Motors took money. I don't know if they ever paid it back when the great the late Bob Ben Moshe from AIG took 181 billion dollars. They paid it back plus 21 billion dollars of interest. That's what the right CEOs do That's why his legacy is always gonna be respected. I don't have the receipts on it, but my memory is exactly with yours
Starting point is 00:44:19 We're watching. GM took it as a permanent government grant. That's right. That type of like that's what we're gonna watch the movie I guarantee it this weekend, but you know what the next car I'm getting is going to be a Ford and we're gonna No joke, and you guys are all gonna see what this Ferrari is what made me want to buy a the Shelby truck and Made me want to buy that for GT the supercar whatever. I think now is a very interesting time for American CEOs I think this is you know we get so caught CEOs. I think this is, you know, we get so caught up with the Elans and the Jeff Bezos. We forget there's so many other CEOs out there running companies and with so much turmoil with it, with the markets, with tariffs, you're going to have so much drama and the LBC. It's kind of hard being
Starting point is 00:45:00 a CEO like PD. I get it. But CEOs CEOs are gonna be able to make a name for themselves. Like this guy, Jim Farley, respect to you. CEOs are gonna step up and say, no, no, no, no, we're bringing jobs back, we're coming to America. Let's talk China. Adam, Trump predicts China would eat tariffs lessening US impact, okay? This is a Bloomberg story.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Rob, I think you got a clip on this one as well. President Trump predicted that China would mitigate US impact, okay? This is a Bloomberg story. Rob, I think you got a clip on this one as well. President Trump predicted that China would mitigate the impact of his 145% tariffs on their exports, stating, you don't know whether or not China is going to eat it. China probably will eat those tariffs. Is this the one? Go ahead and play this clip. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:45:40 145% tariffs on China, and that is basically an embargo. They deserve it. It'll raise prices on everything from electronics To clothing to building houses. You don't know that you don't know whether or not China's mathematics China probably will eat those tariffs but at a hundred and forty five they basically can't do much business with the United States and They were making from us a trillion dollars a year They were ripping us off like nobody's ever ripped us off And by the way, we have other countries that were just as bad
Starting point is 00:46:09 If you look at the European Union, it was terrible what they've done to us every country almost every country in the world was ripping us off They're not doing that anymore. I love it. I love it. Yeah, absolutely Tom thoughts. Well, first of all Absolutely, right and it's having an effect because guess what China also did China has caved on the hundred and twenty five percent tariff for Ethene now you don't think about it. What's a theme sounds like a makeup doesn't it? ethylene is a gas that when you process it it makes ethylene and Polyethylene also known as PE is pronounced plastic we send bazillion tons of a theme to China and China blinked on a tariff on
Starting point is 00:46:54 exports so they could get the a theme and guess what They did that yesterday, so they're starting to blink and they're starting to have issues the president is right They can't survive at certain things But they don't care about their people and they will go long on pain They will go long on pain on certain things China absolutely will but the president's absolutely right and he's also right to The reporter once again is trying to put a statement out and let the statement indict the president He's like you don't know that you don don't know what the tariffs are going to work on or what they're going to do.
Starting point is 00:47:28 But he says, I think they're going to eat the tariffs. In other words, eating the tariff means, crap, we're going to wait this thing out. That's what we're going to do. And we're going to win this thing on time. We're going to take the long game. We're going to eat it. In other ways, like on Athene, they need the Athene
Starting point is 00:47:41 because they can't make plastic without it. And so they caved on the 125 on that. the word nothing the worst thing about the whole thing is with this war With China is the the Chinese people we are never gonna see that pain that pain that we're talking about Tom They're gonna be suffering, but you know Xi Jinping with that face that he makes you'll never gonna see it. There's no social media There's no outcry There's no nothing and those are the people like the the slave labor camps and all that stuff that they have going on. I feel bad for their people and their society. I've heard horrible things that's happening there.
Starting point is 00:48:13 They're manufacturing places. Many of them are complete empty. They have no work right now. They have no work right now. All of it is empty right now. Many of them. Because people are not doing business with them right now. They're going elsewhere. Adam. Look, there's a bigger storyline here. And I think this is something that is worth saying. One of my favorite movies of all time. You guys know this. Rocky IV. Ivan Drago versus Rocky Balboa. If he dies. If he dies, he dies. If he dies, he dies. China, China is the new cold war. But instead of punches like Rocky versus Drago, these tariffs are now punches. So instead of, you know, Yvonne Drago, it's Yvonne Dragon. And the dragon is a very, very tough competitor. United States unfortunately got rich. We're a little, a little out of shape. We were a little sloppy. Meanwhile, you got Yvonne Dragan made in a
Starting point is 00:49:13 high tech Chinese lab, possibly a lab leak. We'll see what happens there. And they're quote unquote eating the blows when on Rockies throwing punches. Trump's saying, no, you're going to eat the punches. They're going to fight back. You know, she's basically out there on his charm offensive. There's a story here. Whereas the Chinese for Mr. Saying, we're never going to back down, never going to back down. This is the new cold war. Yeah. Keep saying, yeah, you're finito. No, I'm not saying to you. I'm saying to the guy. No, no, we're never going to back down. Okay. Keep saying that. Okay. You want me to do saying that? No, no. We're never going to back down, BVD. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Keep saying that. Okay, you want me to do it? Watch this, though. Watch this. And by the way. But they're going to say, we will break you. Do it. And we're going to see what happens.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Listen, I have so much confidence in President, you know what I like about how President Trump is? That when he says, yeah, no, they voted for this. The people were not expecting this. No, no, they voted for this, the people were not expecting this, no, no, they voted for this. Why do you think we won on a landslide? I didn't surprise you with tariffs. This is gonna hurt, and it's gonna suck
Starting point is 00:50:14 because we're going against China, and China doesn't care about their people as much as we care about our people. They don't look at their people the way we care about them. They look at their people as people they can use. We look at our people in a complete different way. We're there to serve them. We're supposed to be statesmen for the people that came before us, that built this incredible
Starting point is 00:50:30 country, the founding fathers. There's a reason why this is the greatest country in the world. And if you're a leader that's coming and trying to use, it ain't going to work in America. You can do it for a term or two, but Trump's fighting these guys. This is not an easy job. While it's happening, Adidas warns tariffs will mean higher trainer prices. That's what the CEO of Adidas is saying. He's warning saying, look, you guys can increase this.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Shoe prices are going to go up. Since we currently cannot produce almost any of our products in the U.S., these higher tariffs will eventually cause higher costs for our products for the U.S. markets. Okay, that's what the CEO says. Do you have that clip, Rob? Yeah, this is CNBC reporting on the increase. Play it, I don't mind it, play it. Go on and play this clip and I don't want to go to the-
Starting point is 00:51:10 The sportswear giant Adidas now saying the tariffs would result in price hikes for all of its US products. The company said it did not yet know by how much those prices would get boosted, also noting that the global trade dispute was preventing it from raising its full year outlook despite a first quarter profit increase. Now the company pointing out that it's somewhat exposed noting that the global trade dispute was preventing it from raising its full year outlook despite
Starting point is 00:51:25 a first quarter profit increase. The company pointing out that it's somewhat exposed to tariffs on China, currently a rate of 145%. However, the biggest impact was coming from the general market. Can I ask you a question, Adidas? Why would you say that? Why would you say that? Why would you not, behind closed doors, already have a plan 2, 3, 4, 5? Why are you
Starting point is 00:51:47 not be� why not release a message, Adidas CEO, and say something like this? Look, business is business. If we're producing many of our shoes from there, it's costing us this. But we are right now being proactive about it and looking at a couple different places, such as boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. That's what we're looking at. And our finance team and our marketing team, we're looking at these places. We're optimistic about long-terms. Why can't you give a message like that?
Starting point is 00:52:13 You know when you give a message like that to the CEO, you know what you're saying? You're afraid of China more than you're afraid of the U.S. That's what that message means to a guy like me. That's what that message means to me. That you're afraid. That you need China. That you're afraid. That you need China. That you're putting China over America. Listen, we, a lot of stuff that we do, we also get from China.
Starting point is 00:52:31 We get from El Salvador, we get from the U.S. Just like anybody else that's competing. We do as well. But for us, if something happens, we're automatically looking at other places. Can you imagine if a business owner straight up is saying, well the reason why this is happening, like LeBron's interview yesterday when they lost, hey, you guys are struggling with the center while the last guy, Anthony Davis, when he said this, he got traded. I don't want to say anything.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Stop it. Put some confidence on the team. They just brought Luca over, one of the greatest trades of all time. Yeah, you've got to put defense around him. You don't talk like that. For Adidas CEO to talk like that as a weak link to say, well, this is going to affect this. Do something about it.
Starting point is 00:53:08 You're the damn CEO. Go find a second and a third option. Who the hell talks like that to say we don't have another option? So prices are going to go up. Of course it's an evident thing. Everyone already knows this. Tell me you're being proactive about it. Tell me you're looking at other options.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Tell me you're talking to other people. Tell me you're looking at other options. Tell me you're talking to other people. Inject some hope in your brand. Do you forget in the movie air what happened when Converse was massive and they had Magic Bird and Julius Irving, like this they disappeared? Do you forget that Adidas? Do you forget your history?
Starting point is 00:53:39 Do you forget what happened when Nike came and took everybody's lunch? Do you forget? Be proactive. Stop saying the prices are going to go up. We know they're going to go up. Tell us a positive news on what's happening. Here's another one for you, by the way.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Check this one out. This one is also another one of those stories. UPS cutting 20,000 jobs due to fewer Amazon shipments. Okay, here's another story. By the way, these stories are real. I'm not telling you they're not real. But the CEO's job is to tell the story in a completely different way. UPS announced it will cut another 20,000 jobs, roughly 4% of its workforce, and close 73
Starting point is 00:54:17 facilities to reduce costs. This decision stems from a significant reduction in shipment volumes from its largest customer Amazon which accounted for 11.8% of UPS overall revenue in 2024 and broader economic uncertainty due to Trump's administration tariffs. CEO Carol Tome stated, �The actions we are taking to reconfigure our network and reduce costs across the business could not be timelier. The job cuts follow UPS's January statement with Amazon to reduce Amazon's shipping volume by 50% by the second half of 2026, alongside a slowdown in global trade impacting parcel
Starting point is 00:54:51 delivery firms. Additionally, UPS faces reduced volume from China-linked e-commerce platforms. Temu, Shane, after US tariffs were imposed on previously duty-free goods under an $800 threshold. Tom, thoughts on this? Both sorts. Yeah, go for it. So first of all, UPS made a bad deal with Amazon.
Starting point is 00:55:11 They wanted all that Amazon volume and they made a bad deal. It's an unprofitable deal. Wall Street Journal, UPS will fire 20,000 workers and the Wall Street Journal tells the truth. It isn't why you think, right there in the headline. See that, Vinnie? It isn't why you think, right there in the headlines. It isn't why you think. And they go on to say it's not the tariffs, it was the fact they made a crappy deal with Amazon, and guess what?
Starting point is 00:55:34 Now they have to back off of it. And then they made a crappier deal with the Teamsters for $100,000 truck drivers. Now I'm not saying the UPS drivers are out there taking risks, wind, sleet, snow, all that and delivering that don't deserve a livelihood. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying they don't deserve a living wage. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that UPS got backed into it where the Teamsters determine who keeps the job and who doesn't. And Sean O'Brien, Teamsters president, came to the microphone and said, may I remind everyone that UPS is obligated to create 30,000 jobs under the current contract. I do not object if you want to downsize management, but you're in for a hell of a fight if you move on any Teamsters jobs. So now you're handcuffed. You can't run your company the way you should.
Starting point is 00:56:22 So UPS made a bad deal with Amazon. they made a bad deal with the Teamsters, and now they've got these issues, and now they've got to cut these things. So the non-union people working in a warehouse or non-union warehouse worker, the warehouse is getting closed. Guess what? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:56:39 I'm so glad, Tom. Do you see that point? That poor person in a warehouse. No, but I love the fact that you go deeper in the content to find out exactly what's going on and good for Wall Street Journal to reveal that even though the story says UPS is cutting 20,000 jobs,
Starting point is 00:56:53 oh, it's automatically because of Trump's tariffs, it's not what you think. Good for you. Tom, I only have one question for you. What can Brown do for you, Tom? Well, Big Brown won the Kentucky Derby many, many years ago. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:57:04 With that horse. You know how much the stud fee was after he won? 250. Per stud fee. Every time he hooks up, it's 250. That's what Brown can do for you. Brown can do a lot for you. All right, let's talk about the next story here. New York City lost $9 billion of income to Miami Palm Beach in five years.
Starting point is 00:57:14 This is a Bloomberg story, so let's go through it. The first time he hooked up, he was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby.
Starting point is 00:57:22 He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. He was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. New York City lost $9 billion of income to Miami-Pom Beach in five years. This is a Bloomberg story, so let's go through it. A net 30,000 New Yorkers moved to Florida's Palm Beach and Miami-Dade County from 2018 to 2022, taking $9.2 billion in income, nearly 20,000 people with a per capita income of $190,000 relocating to Palm Beach and over $26,000 per capita income of about $266,000 moved to Miami-Dade County according to Citizens' Budget Commission's
Starting point is 00:57:50 report. Within New York State nearly 138,000 city residents relocated to Long Island reducing New York City's adjusted gross income by $11.1 billion while Westchester County gained almost 60,000 new net residents, cutting the city's income by $5 billion. Driven by factors like coronavirus pandemic, cost of living and quality of life concerns, New York shares of U.S. millionaires dropped from 12.7 in 2010 to 8.7. That's a 33% drop off. Despite the numbers of millionaires in state nearly doubling to $70,000 as hirings include
Starting point is 00:58:24 millennials left for the state Florida California Texas with the top 1% of cities tax filers paying 40% of the income again I thought rich people don't pay taxes with the top 1% of city tax filers paying 40% of income taxes Adam thoughts well this was something that I've been calling for years and it's just further proof that Miami slash South Florida is the best place in the world. So when I was in the nightlife world, back in the day, I would always see these New Yorkers come every single new years and they would spend a ton of money. And then they would be like, man, I love it down here. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:59:00 well, why don't you end up moving here? I got to work. I got jobs. I got family. I don't listen. I was like, all right, very interesting. So I would see like, what's a game you would play back in the day. We would almost like jump in like double double Dutch. You would like, all right, I would see this do that. These New Yorkers do this game of double Dutch for years. And then I'd be like, well, I didn't fully understand like why they just wouldn't move down here. And then it took a worldwide pandemic for people to be like, what the hell am I doing in New York? And I've seen what's happened over the last five years, not even just from New York, from all over the country, people, people basically
Starting point is 00:59:34 saying I'm coming down. Now you can give a shout out to mayor Francis Suarez down in Miami. You can give a shout out to governor Ron DeSantis. You know, you, you give DeSantis shout outs all the time. Always love Love it. Try to get him boots. If you can work from anywhere, why wouldn't you want to be in Miami, South Florida, Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago, everything? Tom, your thoughts on this. Your thoughts on this. Guess what? Bad policies have consequences. And New York's bad policies, even people that
Starting point is 01:00:02 do not want to move from the New York area, they move to Westchester. They move to Long Island. So they're outside of New York City. The issue here is New York City. It's not New Yorkers, it's not people in the Northeast, it's not businesses in the Northeast, it's NYC, New York City's management, and this is what they get. All of these folks have left, whether they left left locally 138,000 going to Long Island we know a few people out there
Starting point is 01:00:28 and then 60,000 going to Westchester County which is up Pound Ridge area Armok bordering Connecticut and or you had the 50,000 people with 190 and 266 average salaries it's bad policies in New York move them all down here and you know what? Whoever is the next mayor is going to be looking for EBT cards to give city employees because this is deadly on the city budget. New York City is about to become a welfare recipient of New York State and the federal government worse than it has been.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Mark my words, and I don't mean that to sound harsh, Pat, but New York City's about to turn itself into a welfare queen looking for money from other people because bad policies have consequences and whether it's local or Florida, its own residents are leaving. Who are they talking about running for governor, Rob in New York, was it Stefanik or was it Zeldin?
Starting point is 01:01:23 Elise Stefanik. Stefanik, and she was kind of like, I don't wanna talk about a type of situation. Pupidi, I wanna get your perspective. This is her tweet in response to Mike Johnson. Got it, Speaker Mike Johnson saying he's having conversations with Stefanik and Lawyer, interesting.
Starting point is 01:01:38 About running for governor, if either Lawler or Stefanik run, they will have to give, I don't know what the rest is, this is not true, I have had no conversation with the Speaker regarding the Governor race. Looking forward to the conversation about SALT with New York members tomorrow. Stay tuned. What do you think about that? What do you think about correcting Speaker Johnson?
Starting point is 01:01:56 Well, did Speaker Johnson say that or did that guy post that? Speaker Johnson said it? Well, let me tell you, I don't know. Can you go back to the post-ramp? That's Jane Sherman saying it. Listen, I would, no, no, the proper protocol is not that step. Here's what I'm doing if I'm her. My opinion.
Starting point is 01:02:15 First you call Speaker Johnson and you say, hey, is this true that you said this? I never said that. Would you mind tweeting that and I'm gonna retweet that. So if you work, your phone call away from anybody, Stefano, you can call Speaker Johnson. So if that didn't happen then there's either a riff, I don't know, did Speaker Johnson respond to this or say anything about this Rob or not? If not, she is calling out Speaker Johnson. That's a call out to Speaker Johnson because the proper protocol would be for Speaker Johnson to tweet about the fact that I never said this.
Starting point is 01:02:48 If you never said it, you're the one that's supposed to say I never said something like this. Yeah. And Pat, just out of curiosity, for the New Yorkers, Tom, and the Californians, and all these people in these states, that it's the leadership, it's the policies and everything, at what point, because you guys, you can't feel sorry for them anymore, because you keep voting in these same leaders. And you keep staying there and then what? You're like, oh I can't take anymore. And then you leave, it shouldn't be like that. You should be voting in the
Starting point is 01:03:14 people that you want to run the state the way it's supposed to be. Why the hell are you leaving? Why are you, you know what I mean? Like keep voting for these freaking people and then you leave and it's like, oh well We have to leave then you abandon your freaking state Well, it's also victimhood victimhood can go from billionaires all the way down to people on welfare Victimhood can go all the way all the way around the world. And what you have is these people that are you know victim? Oh, it's because of Trump. It's because of this Well, you may have the money to write it out and maybe you stay there because you just don't want to leave you got family Friends, you got everything there you got your life there, and you just don't want to leave
Starting point is 01:03:48 But what what they're not is honest you're not honest about it You're not saying look I voted for this and this is not what I wanted and this is not the New York that I grew Up in this is not the New York that I want to live in I said that about Los Angeles I said, but you know what I'm gonna stick it out and I'm gonna stay here And I've got the resources to do it that would be honest but then criticize oh it's Trump it's Trump it's Trump and blaming other people and blaming everything else and and then staying there in the middle of it with non-answer or just howling at the moon you know what let me tell you a friend
Starting point is 01:04:18 of ours came and we had dinner with him you met him Bobby love them right love him phenomenal guy so he came and we had dinner with him and I told him I said Every week I meet an Armenian family that says Pat I watched the podcast the video that you did ten reasons why you left California you came to Florida and we're coming here I see Armenians every you know what kind of Armenians business owner Armenians hard-working Armenians conservative Armenians, every, you know what kind of Armenians? Business owner Armenians, hardworking Armenians, conservative Armenians, independent Armenians. I'm not talking about the woke, left, crazy Armenians in Glendale that should stay in Glendale.
Starting point is 01:04:52 I'm talking about those types of Armenians. And you know what city is gonna become the Glendale of East Coast? Boca Raton. You're going to see Armenians are going to love Boca Raton. Safe, they got million dollar homes, underwater property, 50 million dollar homes million-dollar homes on the water property, 50 million-dollar homes. They've got $300,000 homes, $500,000 homes. LARGE FULLY ESTABLISHED ORTHODOCST CHURCH?
Starting point is 01:05:11 Large, fully established Armenian orthodo—I think it's a Catholic church, if I'm not mistaken. It could be an Orthodox church, but there's an Armenian church there. Big community, safe. You're going to see this. Watch in the next five to ten years. They're going to end up here. They're coming. The performers, they're coming. A lot of them are coming now. Boca Raton will be the Glendale of 20 years ago. Not today's crazy Glendale. Glendale of 20 years ago,
Starting point is 01:05:35 it'll happen because Boca's got the mixture of Beverly Hills and a mixture of Glendale together. You got all the shops, the malls, the water, the country club, the freaking Michael Dell that turned the Waldorf Astoria into an incredible property, the Boca Rotom Resort that's un-freaking-believable that Tony Robinson does his events there. It's a beautiful property. It's an absolute beautiful property. But watch Armenians move to Boca. Armenians, very simple yet. Duke news I mean it connects you to the moon
Starting point is 01:06:05 Gorts Atari by the way Kamala Harris is next you're welcome She's gonna be your governor soon the way this is happening She said a couple words, but I'm telling you for Armenians for those of you who say well I would never do that at a come for four days bring your family Stay at the Boko Resort. Go to all the restaurants. Go to all the places. Golf. Go to Palm Beach.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Go take your family to Miami. See what happens. I'm telling you, you will fall in love with Boca Raton. It's a phenomenal city, and a lot of Armenians that are business owners, they're going to love that area, raising their kids, safety values, principles, all of that stuff. Adam, you wanna say something? Well, I think there's a great template for what you're saying right now because you know who is the number one culture in Boca right now?
Starting point is 01:06:52 It's the Jews. They love Boca. So it's a good template right here with the Armenians and the Jews getting along. Baruch HaTadonai Eloheinom. Of course. You know, you got Beverly Hills, you got Santa Monica, that's also a lot of Armenians. Shema Yisraeli Adonai Eloheinom. I'll tell you this. You know you got you got the Beverly Hills you got Santa Monica. That's also a lot of California let me sell you guys the dream on your next governor. Let me just sell them to you I want to excite all the California people
Starting point is 01:07:14 I've got a candidate for you gonna be so excited about and and this is somebody that is Most likely gonna be replacing Newsome you ready for this Rob, please play this clip The audience is gonna be so fired up. I want to put the biggest smile on your face. Go ahead Rob. Play the clip. Instead of an administration working to advance America's highest ideals, we are witnessing the wholesale abandonment of those ideals. Oh man. What did she just say?
Starting point is 01:07:49 Nothing. Zero. She thinks she has an idea. And what we are also seeing in these last 14 weeks is Americans using their voice and showing their courage. Americans were speaking out to say… You can pause it. Causing a candidate to lose seven battleground states. And you, Kamala, thankfully turned every state in America more Republican. God knows how you did that.
Starting point is 01:08:21 You broke records. And by the way, if you go in the comment section, look what I said. Look what I said in the comment section. I don't know if you see me in the comment section. I commented somewhere in there. It should be somewhere in there. You know what I said in the comment section? I said, I hope you run in 2028.
Starting point is 01:08:36 And you know what everybody is saying? Patrick, thank you for supporting Kamala. Guys are like, that's not what he means. That's not what he means. That's not what he means. But California, this could be your governor. This could be your governor. And let me just kind of tell you a little bit more as you're getting excited about this, because I know the folks in California are getting very enthusiastic.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Here's another one for you. You ready? Incredible California policies. California Democrats want to decriminalize welfare fraud under $25,000. Rob, is this it? They want to decriminalize welfare fraud under $25,000. Please play this beautiful clip. California Senate Bill 560 would decriminalize, you're right, welfare fraud below an amount
Starting point is 01:09:17 of $25,000. It would also delete a provision for criminal penalties for any attempt at welfare fraud below $50 bucks. The legislation not only prevents prosecutions for attempted welfare fraud, it also stops someone from being charged with perjury if they are subject to prosecution for welfare fraud. The bill also, by the way, stops counties from pursuing criminal action for overpayment if they did not provide timely notice to the
Starting point is 01:09:46 recipient. California. Critics of the bill say people who cheat the system should be held accountable, not protected. Now there's a concept. The next hearing on this bill is not going to go anywhere. Listen, you know how I interpreted that message? If I'm a criminal, dude, I'm moving to California. That's the message. So let me take us how this works, folks.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Policies attract different types of people. If you're watching this and you're kind of like, dude, I want to work hard. I want to be able to build a business. I want my kids to have the right values. I don't want my kids to be confused. I don't want to have to pay state taxes. Just put the pressure on me to take care of my family, put the pressure on me to make money if that's you, Florida's a great climate for you.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Texas could even be a great climate for you. Maybe Tennessee. I've got a few suggestions. But if you're watching this, you're like, I freaking hate rich people. I hate business owners. I hate people that take care of their stuff. I don't think that's fair. I want to go to a place that crime, they're fair with crime.
Starting point is 01:10:46 I want to go to a place that criminals matter more than citizens do. If that's what you're watching, what California is saying is come heda. Come to California. Come to us because we welcome you. Come to Illinois. Come to places like New York is what they're saying. But specifically is the state of California. Tom, I'm going to read that and I'm going to go to the next one and I'm going to hand
Starting point is 01:11:12 it over to you. Matter of fact, why don't you just respond to the $25,000 one before I go to the next one? Well, if you take a look at grand theft, you've heard of this. Grand theft is you stole more than $5,000 and it depending on the state some states have minor grand theft at 750 Florida's got a third degree grand theft that you enter the super bonus round at a hundred thousand Which is big penalties and big prison time But grand theft is a limit that is set by law so that you're no longer misdemeanor
Starting point is 01:11:42 You've entered you've gone to the collegiate level of penalties, grand theft. So what they're saying, I think car thefts are gonna go down in California because it's still 5,000 for Grand Theft Auto. That's not a video game, that's actually a crime, Grand Theft Auto. Instead, hey man, why go to prison for Grand Theft Auto because you stole a car more than five grand in California when we can just make a fake social security number get $2,000
Starting point is 01:12:10 a month. 2000 times 12 is? Tom, don't do this to me. 24,000. I'll tell you a joke. This guy sounds like square root of pi times nine. No, no, no, no. 2000 a month times 12 months one year be 24,000. So if I made a fake ID to get that fake ID Welfare every month for a year 24,000. No problem, Tom. Keep the money. We won't charge you get it
Starting point is 01:12:39 That's what they're doing so instead of Steve I think this is gonna cause car thefts to go down because you can go to jail for a long time for car thefts to go down, because you can go to jail for a long time for car theft, but 25,000 grand theft on this is free. Because you know, before that, I mean that was hilarious, but you just gave me, the next sketch I'm gonna do is gonna be a commercial for California Pitch, because it's, and you just made me think. You just say don't steal cars, you can go to prison.
Starting point is 01:13:04 And come to California, you can go to prison and come to California You could you can shop and then steal you can steal $900 or less if it's a walk right out That's right. That's only in the great state of California. Come do we protect criminals more than citizens? Exactly. That's the line only in the great state of California. Do we protect criminals more than us? What we're like convenience? Don't shoot. Don't get into purse snatching. It's welfare fraud. What we're convenience stores doing in California, they were basically putting a price tag on everything.
Starting point is 01:13:32 951, they changed it. Everything, they were chaining up. Because San Francisco made under 900 a non-punishable offense, so people would shoplift. So they made the shampoo $901. I got to tell you, remember when our friend Ricky used to be on the podcast, Ricky, and we would get in like these arguments. And the reality is as someone that's lived in Florida, which has been a purple state my whole life, I'm not used to the nonsense that happens in California.
Starting point is 01:14:04 So for someone like Ricky's like, you don't understand, bro. They're fucking insane out there. I'm like, what are you talking about? They're just because Democrats in Florida are not this insane here. They're absolutely insane out in California. And the wokeness has been exposed. Just like this criminal fraud situation. Let me read the next one. Oh no, no, no. But wait, wait, yeah, that's a great idea. It gets worse. Let me read the next idea to. Oh, no. No, but wait. Yeah, that's a great idea. It's worse Let me read the next idea to you. This is Florida Democrats block bill to make sex trafficking of minors a felony again. They block California Democrats on assembly rob is this the clip? Yes, go for it Rob
Starting point is 01:14:40 Governor Gavin Newsom is getting involved in the latest fight over child sex trafficking Thanks for joining us at four I'm Lisa Gonzales and I'm Curtis Mayer the governor's office is speaking up after lawmakers today blocked an effort to crack down on the buyers of the child sex trafficking industry specifically those who buy 16 and 17 year olds for sex let's get to KCRA 3 Capitol correspondent Ashleigh Zavala who was first to report the governor's office has gotten involved in this kind of fight between Democrats over this issue. The governor signaling his support for that proposal to make it an automatic felony to purchase a 16 year old or 17 year old for sex in a statement exclusively to us this afternoon. Really just
Starting point is 01:15:16 within the last hour, the governor's office said quote, the law should treat all sex predators who solicit minors the same as a felony, regardless of whether they're a minor or a hour, the governor's office said, quote, the law should treat all sex predators who solicit minors the same as a felony, regardless of the intended victim's age. Full stop. This comes after the Assembly Public Safety Committee this morning blocked this proposal from moving forward that targets the buyers of the child sex trafficking industry.
Starting point is 01:15:42 It's written by Assemblymember Maggie Krell, a Democrat who has spent the last two decades working on this issue. Now before getting elected to the assembly, she was a prosecutor for the California Department of Justice, but Democratic leaders say they have concerns about possible unintended consequences with this,
Starting point is 01:15:58 how the automatic felony for the purchase of the teens could impact the LGBTQ community, people of color, and older teens. Here's what the chairman of the teens could impact the LGBTQ community, people of color, and older teens. Here's what the chairman of the committee, Nick Schultz, and Krell had to say right after the hearing. People are forced to stand there. People keep asking that, like, why can't Democrats immediately get on board with something like
Starting point is 01:16:17 this? Yeah, so I would emphasize two things. First of all, the exploitation of any children, as we heard in there in the comments I made in the dais, it's already unlawful to do anything like that in the state of California. What we're talking about is a very specific narrow issue of whether or not the stiff penalties that apply in say human trafficking context should apply in a non-human trafficking context involving a 16 or 17 year old. As you know, under Senate bill 1414, which passed last year, that's
Starting point is 01:16:45 a mandatory sex offender registration. And that doesn't mean that we shouldn't at least entertain that conversation. But how that might apply to an 18 and 17 year old in a relationship might be different from what we might see, from what we think about people that are out here trying to get somebody off the blade and exploit them. So I think that these are important conversations we have to have. I don't think we're doing enough to protect children from sex trafficking. I think that's pretty clear. It's clear from the survivors.
Starting point is 01:17:11 It's clear from driving down to the blade right now. If you needed more reason, like keep piling up. Just what is California? Like, brother, this is not funny. Tell me, I thought- The jokes are stopped. I have no jokes here. No, exactly. No're not I know you're not don't do it I'm just saying I don't guys it's unbelievable to me I'm sitting here because I could I want to talk about the RFK situation the fact that they're
Starting point is 01:17:37 saying no 16 and 17 years it's not gonna be a felony then what is it gonna be a misdemeanor and by the way did you see the quote there it came from governor Newsom's office It didn't come from actual. You didn't say said the governor It came from his office because his office has two part is he has the office of public policy and office of legislative affairs So in it came from governor Newsom's office so Gavin Newsom can say well came from my office There's people looking I didn. I didn't. I personally didn't. That's exactly.
Starting point is 01:18:06 You have to catch these nuances that are coming out. But the strategy in California is decriminalize everything. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. The only thing that I can take from California is that the only felony that the government of California has committed is the crime of not having common sense. And that just seems to be a reoccurring theme of whatever's going on in California, which takes me back to
Starting point is 01:18:29 my original point. If there's one thing you could say about Florida is at the very least, we have common sense here and leadership on down. It's just like, Nope, this is the where woke goes to die. This is how we're doing. This is how we're taking care of our police. Is that we're taking care of children. This is what's going on here. We're not going to have kids, you know, doing social media at young ages, whereas you have California with just like wokeness gone wrong, and here's just another example of just the mind-bending exercises you have to go through to understand what California's like. What is that Rob?
Starting point is 01:18:57 This is the, one of the members of the LGBTQ community who is an assemblyman who voted against the bill explaining why this bill would target members of the gay Can you zoom in on his fingernails real quick? Are you able to do that? Yeah, can you go a little bit more? Zoom in a little bit very policy fingernails very By the way those those eyebrows were done by I want to say No, those are those are done by, I wanna say, no, those are, zoom out a little bit, those are legit.
Starting point is 01:19:25 No, no, I mean, he's straight up, that might be a good looking guy, but go out. So what's it say, so Assemblyman Gonzalez is concerned that anti-trafficking Bill overlooks the LGBTQ community. Again, I mean, when you say stuff like this, you know what you tell me? If you want us to baptize your kids in the eyes of the LGBTQ community, bring them to California.
Starting point is 01:19:50 It's very simple. That's all I see it as. If you want your kids to be overly exposed to certain things prior to them being at the proper age, bring them to California. And by the way, for some of you guys that are watching this, if you're all for it, move to California. It's a beautiful state if you want your kids to not be protected from dumb policies like this.
Starting point is 01:20:10 Let me read you what RFK is saying here. RFK Jr. accuses Biden-era HHS of role in child trafficking, says Trump's team now locating 300,000 missing minors. What? Rob, if you can play this clip, this is a major accusation being made, but here's Bobby Kennedy, go for it. We have ended HHS as the role, as the vector,
Starting point is 01:20:37 the principal vector in this country for child trafficking. And during the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking and for sex and for slavery. And we have ended that and we're very aggressively going out and trying to find these children, 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration. Vinny, go for it. And I'm so happy because I don't I don't think we think we planned that that you showed that
Starting point is 01:21:07 California lawmakers are out there trying to make it less of a crime a lesser crime for trafficking 16 year old children, and I hope everybody understands what happened This was at the cabinet meeting and this is the new head of HHS Robert Kennedy jr. That's saying oh, this is the new head of HHS, Robert Kennedy Jr. That's saying, whoa, this is blaming. This is putting blame on them saying that they were collaborators on children that were for sex slaves and for work, okay?
Starting point is 01:21:36 And by the way, do you guys know who the old HHS secretary was? Xavier Becerro. And guess, random. Guess who his assistant secretary was. Rob, could you show this? This is the face of Rachel Levine, a dude that was dressing as a woman. That's a dude behind the dude.
Starting point is 01:21:56 And you would think these people, and isn't it weird that this group is all about young children and brainwashing these young children and pushing this ideology on them and think about it, the sponsorship, when you set unvetted people to come pick up, it was a turnstile for children and they're gone. There's no dead bodies, there's no bones, we don't know where the hell they are, I mean we can have an understanding, there's no Ep Epstein Island like we talked about last time there's they're going somewhere to these disgusting pedophiles okay and Alejandro Mayorkas and I love keep bringing his name up he's one of the main ones too it was all dude it was all a plan they told
Starting point is 01:22:36 you open up the border leave it completely open these people are getting all the 300,000 missing children that they want and they're arguing that it wasn't a failure what they did okay it was intentional Trump has shut it down 100% and it was big business and then as if we didn't know look at all the stuff with Epstein, Virginia Goofrey committing suicide and all that stuff they're blocking bills for felony for these children it's dude it's big business for taking advantage of these children and for him to say that that means it was all a plan He called them collaborators. So that means that last administration and that's for all the people out there
Starting point is 01:23:12 They're like you don't care about Mexicans and immigrants and no no, it was a big business for freaking sex trafficking and I listen I have to pray for them But I want to have to prove it. They have to prove it I have to but he's saying but I know but they have to prove it Vinny Yeah, they have to prove it that there's got to be some people being held accountable while they're going after you think anybody's gonna That's my question to you Do you think anybody's gonna be held accountable because there's no excuse for leaving the border wide open There's absolute zero you did it on purpose and from what he is saying is that they were known, they
Starting point is 01:23:45 were collaborators in bringing these people in. Like where are the kids? So what you're saying is sex trafficking is a big business. I heard you say it's a big business. Sex trafficking is a big business. Sex trafficking minors is a big business. And if this is true and this comes down, we'd like to see indictments if in fact, you know I did that Department of Government was acting as a criminal enterprise hundred heads have got a role Yes, and for the new head saying that the last administration was collaborators
Starting point is 01:24:15 That's a bold bold statement from him, right? Just what these California stories just kind of putting them together I know we talked about the the welfare fraud and the child trafficking. It would seem that like, ah, welfare fraud ads, no big deal. It's like practically encouraged if it's under $25,000, uh, sex trafficking, a teenager lesson, let's not rush to judgment. We don't want to throw the book at this person right now. It's almost like it's safer to commit crime and welfare in California than actually be held accountable for sex trafficking kids. Yeah. No, it's horrible. That's a factual statement based on the way the laws work. Yeah. Well, think about it. Look, I'm just a common sense dude playing a dude who lives in Miami, but it makes no
Starting point is 01:24:58 sense. Add one thing about this. If you bring, if you're letting knowingly, you're letting people bring children to the border and you're having somebody come pick up those kids That's not related to them and they did they didn't do a background check You're you're responsible for that child's life Tom you let some random you want to reflect it bring around full circle God who is the state of California going after who are they suing as of two two weeks ago? Who would Gavin Newsom say suing? Who are they suing as of two two weeks ago? Who would Gavin Newsom say suing? The Trump administration exactly so they're suing the Trump administration by the way What was the S&P on April 1st where we were all worried about Liberation Day? Did it go up?
Starting point is 01:25:35 It was 56 33. You know what the S&P is as of this moment what? 5639 oh weird So the entire loss from Liberation Day has been eliminated a little at a time as These little wins and big wins are piling up But state of California lets all this stuff go on yet They're suing the president under the things for the tariffs and guess what the markets are saying, California. You're wrong Yeah, and that's great. Let the market decide but they can do all they want On on a brighter side for California look as much as I give you a hard time, I would love
Starting point is 01:26:08 to see somebody have the brass to go out there and fight and save California. I'd love that. Even though I know a lot of people are going to leave no matter what and that's a state that's in a problematic place, I'd love to see everybody rally behind somebody that has the brass and go and do the fight. Pat, what do you mean? They have Kamala. She's fighting. And she's legendary. I mean, she's a legend in the industry.
Starting point is 01:26:30 But look, can I tell you guys, why don't we talk about somebody who knows how to campaign on how to lose? So, Canadian conservative Poliev to lose seat in parliament in stunning fall. This is a, Rob, is this a video, Rob? or is this, what do we have here with this one? Because this guy not only lost to Carney, but he also lost a seat that he's had since 2004. Superstar who doesn't like to talk to, only to organize people he likes to talk to. So Pierre Paulier was projected to lose his Carrolton seat since, he's held since 2004 to liberal Bruce Fanjoy with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, reporting Fanjoy's
Starting point is 01:27:12 win by about 3,800 votes. So this guy was supposed to be a prime minister, not only does he lose, he's ahead 94 to whatever, and he loses PM and he loses the parliament seat, okay? Fanjoy wrote on X, we have to look out for ourselves and we have to take care of each other. Let's get to work. The race delayed by 91 candidates, so Fanjoy gained over 50% support. Prime Minister Mark Carney's liberal likely secured a minor government, though uncounted
Starting point is 01:27:39 special ballots leave the mandate unclear. Carney criticized US tariffs, saying we are over the shock of American betrayal and President Trump is trying to break us to America, can own us, that will never ever happen. His campaign emphasized economic stability, unlike Poliev's Trump-aligned policies, not necessarily Poliev's, once leading by 25 points in 2024, per Politico, lost ground after Trump's tariffs and 51st state remarksarks shifted the election focus Tom thoughts. I said it on a previous podcast. I will say it again This guy is not a loser. He's their king It was amazing what he did all he had to do when Trump said, you know
Starting point is 01:28:21 Governor Trudeau came down to visit me. He said governor Trudeau. He didn't say Governor Paul LeVitt. He said Governor Trudeau. And then he said 51st state. To me, I would have walked through that open door and saying, Canada, do you want Trudeau's Canada? Because Trudeau's Canada is a wimpy little Canada that should be the 51st state. But I'm here to tell you that I am with sovereign Canada, and I am with the Canada of tomorrow. And the Canada of tomorrow is the United States best partner,
Starting point is 01:28:51 and the United States is our best partner. That's the Canada of tomorrow. Do we want to go there? Is this where we want to go? Do we want to affect the taxation that's here? Do we want to embrace the spirit of the truckers that Trudeau froze their bank accounts and stopped them on the road do we want to that that spirit I am with Trump because we will be his best partner he will be our best partner and
Starting point is 01:29:13 he's talking about Trudeau and he's talking about failed policies that's who he's talking about when he calls him Governor Trudeau but we are sovereign Canada and I want to take Canada to tomorrow that is a leader in a vision statement that's all he had to do check this out Tom you know how I talked openly about the fact that their team when they talked to Tony Tony came and told us how disrespectful they were and that they hung up on him to us Tony here by the way it's Tony here Rob he's at the other building I can have him come here though I mean it's one way by the time you get I mean if you want to
Starting point is 01:29:42 tell him by the time he gets you so our our booker Tony, sweet, he deals with a lot of different, he loves the camera, okay? He definitely does. He deals with a lot of people that are coming. How nice is Tony? Tony's one of the best people I know. Pierre Poliev's camp hung up on him twice. Like literally just like no click. Hung up on him twice, twice.
Starting point is 01:30:02 And that's never ever happened. So then I'm sitting there thinking my guy's the one who screwed up. Then John Shahidi, he tried to book Theo Vaughn and Nelk, they said no. Then Kyle, Kyle from Nelk Boys, can you go to Kyle's Instagram, X account? Kyle Forgard. Kyle Forgard on X, watch this. He shows the DM. This is how embarrassing it is. Go a little bit lower, go up there and see if they show
Starting point is 01:30:33 the DM, what is this, actually then go to, then go to 4CENSA X account. But just go down, Rob, it's right there, you just had it. Right, then click on that and go to their account, Nelk Boys, go to their account, and go down and see what they show. Right there. Check this out.
Starting point is 01:30:48 Kyle, Kyle, can I just go back out, Rob? If you could, right there, yes please. So watch what it says. Kyle Forgott from Nelk Boys shared DMs attempting to collaborate with Pierre Poliev in 2022. Click on it, Rob. Watch this. Okay, Canadians, this is your candidate. Pierre, we have the most popular podcast on YouTube. We've had Donald Trump and Elon Musk on. We should have you on. I am from Miss Asgwa, and our presence
Starting point is 01:31:19 amongst 18-30 year old Canadians massive never responds back. Think about this. Kyle is loved. Kyle is liked. Kyle is a likable guy, right? Then Chris Pavloski here says, I try to arrange, this is a founder of Rumble, I try to arrange Pierre Paulier to meet with Donald Trump Jr. at a Rumble event in Toronto last year. While the liberals attacked and illegally attempted to shut down our event, Pierre Poglia refused to even engage to meet Don Junior.
Starting point is 01:31:49 This is not what winners are made of. What does Don Junior do? Retweets it and says, true story. This is your candidate. And you guys were afraid to hold him accountable. It's what you call a coward. You're afraid to meet? What do you mean you're afraid to meet? This is what
Starting point is 01:32:06 happens. When you get a candidate like this that's not a change agent, your state suffers the consequences to a guy like Mark Carney and another guy that took his parliament seat. Rob, do me a favor. This is enough you posting these stories of Canada. People are starting to get upset. And you know I don't like to talk about this stuff. I hate it. It's like pulling teeth. Frustrates the hell out of me. Why do you think he wouldn't be willing to meet with people?
Starting point is 01:32:30 If you're in the political game, your goal should be to meet with constituents, get a platform. Give me reasons why you think. Go ahead, speculate. If I can only speculate. You can only speculate. Okay, so number one, he thought he had it in the bag. Great. Why do I need this? I agree. What's the second one? You're sort of maybe like an old-school mentality. What do you mean? Why
Starting point is 01:32:52 would I go on podcasts? Great. So that's okay. What else? You're sort of an elitist. You're better than those. You look down. I mean I think those are pretty good three damn reasons right there. I don't know. There you go. Pick your shoes. Guess what? None of them will help you win. None of them will help you win. Meanwhile, you have Trump.
Starting point is 01:33:13 Yeah. Who's richer, wealthier, smarter, already more famous, already a former president that goes on every single one of these podcasts and says, give me what you got. It doesn't make sense to me. Double dump, Tom, three in on presidential elections. That's funny. Double dump is what you call this double dump, but it is what it is. So check this out. Let's go to the next story. This is big for business folks. TSMC starts building third Arizona fab to ramp up us, us expansion. This is big because it's about chips, right?
Starting point is 01:33:46 And we need that. So Rob, is this the clip about the chips? It is. Howard Lutnick at the cabinet meeting yesterday. Okay, so TSMC has started construction on our third chip plan in Arizona. Part of the US expansion described as a single largest foreign investment in US history, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stating it's tariffs that brought that in. Key word, guys, it's tariffs that brought that in, securing an additional $100 billion
Starting point is 01:34:10 investment without subsidies, creating 40,000 construction jobs and 20,000 full-time jobs. Go ahead, Rob. So they're investing $165 billion in 1,100 acres in Arizona Arizona and they're building the highest tech chip manufacturing semiconductors and 4,000 employees you know American tradecraft right technicians doing every kind of work that classic foundation of America is building it they had 14,000 people they're expecting 40,000 people to build the rest of their plants and to employ 20,000 Howard for the rest of time This is all driven. You never saw a site down and this is all driven by your tariff policies
Starting point is 01:34:52 No chance this be happening with that bingo bingo Tom thoughts Well, I'll tell you what's going on here Rob if you could pull this up so people could see a chart search for CNBC two charts TMSC right and you'll find it it goes back there it is you see that that blue part Taiwan that's what China wants that is the world market share of critical chips Pat and that's what the risk of China is and guess what part of that's gonna be red white and blue because part of that is now going to go to the USA Because one third of TSMC supposedly is going to be built in the USA But that's the risk of China taking that market share on chips and holding the world there
Starting point is 01:35:38 And what we've done here is they already had a grant and they already had a here is they already had a grant and they already had a Economic incentive, but now they're talking about a third chip plant in Arizona So not only we got a couple of just in the last two days Look at the win on India. Look at the one that's happening here and this announcement here. This is long-term US jobs and This is de risking China. And so you said it on the last podcast, hey folks, it would only take 30 days and a set of announcements to suddenly win, win, win, win, win,
Starting point is 01:36:11 and the whole grade is an A, A plus. And you know what, I feel it coming. I feel it coming. Yeah, for sure. This is so critical. This is a three-sided win here. It's a win for workers in Arizona. It's a win to help get ahead of China and market share and move a bunch of chips over to the US. We will have more chip
Starting point is 01:36:32 manufacturing Five years from now here than South Korea does so that protects our destiny Because technology is a destiny and the destiny of technology is chips And so this is great on that second line. And then the third line is it takes away some of the threat of the sudden disruption if China makes a move on Taiwan. Pat, can we think as the enemy? You're China.
Starting point is 01:36:56 What are you, like we're starting to punch them multiple times. We're getting them up against the ropes. How would you, if you were China, Pat, how are you respond? Like what is going to be your move? Thank you. What a great opening. Okay, and here's what that is. At what point, you brought this up yesterday, so I want to give you credit, at what point
Starting point is 01:37:17 does one not sit there and speculate the fact that these guys are going gonna be working and dealing with you in a straight-up way in an honest way okay so if you think that is not on the table what do you have to be ready for anything and everything yeah how dirty can China go I think this is my opinion I think dirty as in a virus coming out of a lab that nobody still But they can't do that again. They won't do that. They can't but no they won't you do I don't think I don't think they will but but they have snuck in how many I want to say 30,000 Chinese but actually think about it You have to find a way to hit us where it hurts
Starting point is 01:38:03 So if you want to go through all the dirty ways that China can do something, let's go through it power grid 100% one, okay cyber attack cyber attack is to they lock up the bank accounts to disrupt the entire System in the US and the world if you wanted to you could do that Panama Canal I'm a canal is number three. I was about to say Panama Canal. They could do something there and say, hey, you know, the ports, they can really cause some damage to the ports and stop the entire world flow of business and commerce and food and supply.
Starting point is 01:38:36 And that, you're going to feel it immediately. What else? Espionage, internally having people who are working internally to manipulate and deceive and do all the stuff that they're doing within the White House. What else can they do? Or Eric Sallowell, people like that. Eric Sallowell had a Christine Fang aka Fang Fang. She was helping him and once they found out the FBI got involved and got kicked out of the House Intel committee, she left. Give me more.
Starting point is 01:38:59 They won't try it but you have to put on the table something else, a sickness or something, a virus. Yeah, a virus, they've done it. But if they do virus again, if China does virus again, and I swear to God the world doesn't learn from it, you deserve everything you get from China. China rules the world if you don't do anything to them afterwards. What else are they capable of doing?
Starting point is 01:39:20 You have to realize they will do anything and everything. They'll find ways to pin your allies against you. They'll find ways to use proxy to get others to text. So they're proxy stuff that they got. They got Iran as proxy. They got a lot of people that they own in proxy methods. But you have to know, if we keep pushing them the way that we're pushing them,
Starting point is 01:39:43 and their backs against the wall, to think they're gonna negotiate You know a hundred percent straight up. I think the chances of them doing that is 50% I still put it high that is 50% But the other 50% of them doing anything and everything to disrupt the entire world the way they did with kovat very very Possible. I said that yesterday when I was on News Nation I said that yesterday to to everybody was that let. I said that yesterday to everybody where I was at. Let's not forget the enemy of the state, number one.
Starting point is 01:40:09 This whole tariff deal, we're not doing it for Russia. We're not doing it for Canada. We're not doing it because we want to straight out deal with Mexico, not because of Japan, not because of Vietnam. Everything we're doing with the tariff deal is for one country and one country only and it's China Yeah, and Trump doesn't trust them and I'm with it good. I'm fully with it Adam thoughts
Starting point is 01:40:30 Well, I mean this is gonna be pretty dark right now You're talking about all the things that China's willing to do capable not willing capable capable willing and has done before You know, we talked about this trade war Cold War. What's going on? You know, you talk about this trade war, cold war, what's going on. You know, you talk about the most brutal, deadliest dictator of all time, of all time. People think Hitler. It was it wasn't Hitler. Hitler's probably in third place to be honest with you. 15 to 20 million, six million Jews specifically world war two. Number two on that list, probably Stalin 20, 25 million dead Russians, the Gulag archipelago, everything. Winter center about that. But number one, all time and even close Mao Zedong in China, 50 to 75 million of his
Starting point is 01:41:20 own people dead during the, what was it called? The cultural revolution. So isn't he the, is he the founder of the CCP? I think so. I mean, fact check that there we go. Chinese cultural revolution estimated in, I can't even tell you how many fricking deaths that's not accurate right there. 50 to 75 minutes. So you want to ask what China is willing to do? You know, they talk about their own people might have to like bite the bullet and suffer a little while. They could get very, very ugly. America has no idea what goes on on the eastern side of the world. We don't want that in our life. Well, Adam, you nailed it. He was during the Cultural Revolution of 1966, just to give you a heads up of who Mao is.
Starting point is 01:42:08 Eight-year-old kid was caught stealing a potato or something. So they killed him and then make the father bury the kid, right? That's the type of enemy that we're talking about. Is there a story of that? There's a story in here. An eight-year-old stole a potato he made the father bury his son. There was a kid stole I want to positively say that it was. Check that Rob. Yeah he stole something and then father forced to bury his son alive. Oh I'm sorry his own child alive. He didn't kill him. This is one of the most disturbing stories shared by survivors and historians was a father forced to bury his own child alive not as punishment but as an act of political loyalty. To who?
Starting point is 01:42:49 To Mao. To Mao. Ah, I mean, see. That's what I'm saying, that's what the history that it comes from. That's literally 50 million of these stories. But that's ridiculous, like, but wait, this is the enemy. Rob, can you just say most brutal dictators, most deaths?
Starting point is 01:43:00 It's him, it's Mao. Can you, you made the point, I mean, we know where that's at. I think we know that. Rob, can you do me a favor? Can you go to the clip that Humberto just sent? Watch this one here, folks. Rob, where is this? First, let's read the details first and then go to it.
Starting point is 01:43:14 Zoom in a little bit. A US Navy recruiting office in California is fully Chinese, they openly speak Chinese, not one word of English. In this video, they are enlisting Chinese recruits. A major war with China is very possible, a larger. larger okay I don't know who this person is at the top but let's watch the video right play the clip please Are they recruiting officers? There's no... Is it? Is that real?
Starting point is 01:43:57 What is this like? I'm not sure. I mean the Navy hat... They're wearing US Navy hats. That's a US Navy t-shirt Your favor can you go to the comment section of this video look at the first one that's from justice.gov To US Navy service members arrested for transmitting military information to the People Republic of China Justice so so you can go a little bit. That's justice.gov. That's a government website. So I am extremely careful when it comes down to China. We are a little bit too reliant on it, the world is.
Starting point is 01:44:34 And I'm sorry, man, I'm wanting to go through the pain for a couple years. I don't think it's gonna take that long. But I'm wanting to go through the pain as long as we can because the bigger pain can be massive the more power they have. If they become the world leader and the world has to do what China tells them to do, there's certain people in societies and religions you don't want running the world.
Starting point is 01:44:59 That's one of them. Adam, were you going to say something? Yeah, I do. I'll be very quick. I have massive issues with this. And the biggest thing is, people don't want to be called that R word, racist. Oh, how dare you?
Starting point is 01:45:12 I can't believe it. In Miami, I can't tell you how many people I speak with, meet with Uber drivers who don't speak one word of English. I mean, you know I take my Ubers. Uber drivers, literally, zero English. And I speak Spanish pretty well. Hola, ¿Cuántos años vivan en Miami?
Starting point is 01:45:36 Cinco años. You lived there five years. ¿Hablas inglés? No, no. I said, ¿Tú quieres aprender inglés? No, no, no es to get him but I'll print their English. No, this was not possible You speak zero English. You've lived in Miami five years ten years twenty years in some capacity Zero English zero. Okay, and not assembly and they're often Cuban sometimes Venezuelan sometimes Colombian mostly Cuban Okay, we all know that we have the Cold War with Cuba and everything happened with that the Cuban Missile Crisis China in California, you're trying to tell me that there's people in the Navy that potentially you're speaking zero English. No, we got no rule. This is very
Starting point is 01:46:17 concerning. Now somebody, how could you sound racist? I don't know. Maybe I just want to protect America and make sure that the Chinese citizens aren't infiltrating. Do you think China would ever do some sort of espionage and spy in America? Maybe send over spy balloons? I have zero trust in these guys. I have very concerned about this as an American citizen. This is why for me this was a top five issue and I'm loving what the president is doing and go.
Starting point is 01:46:43 President Trump, go. I do not trust China. Guys, don't be quick to forget what happened March 12th of 2020. Thank you. When so many hundreds of thousands of restaurants of small business owners shut down, kids confused, staying home, grandparents dying, grandkids couldn't say
Starting point is 01:47:00 goodbye to a dying grandmother. That's what the government did and it was all started because of a leak in China. And by the way, story just dropped four minutes ago. Tulsi Gabbard, watch what she just announced right now with Anthony Fauci. Watch this one here on Megyn Kelly Show. Go for it. But the thing that we are working with Jay Bhattacharya, the new NIH director on with, as well as Secretary Kennedy,
Starting point is 01:47:28 is looking at the gain of function research that in the case of the Wuhan lab, as well as many of these other bio labs around the world, was actually US funded, and leads to this dangerous kind of research that in many examples has resulted in either a pandemic or some other
Starting point is 01:47:52 major health problem. Let me ask you specifically because we already know that EcoHealth Alliance was partnering with this Wuhan lab to create, to do gain-of-function research. We just have never been able to have somebody say it and it was that exact experiment that led to this COVID bug. But it have have we gotten there? What's the new thing that you're digging in on? We are we are working on that with Jay Bhattacharya and look forward to being able to share that very soon. Okay, that that specific link. Correct. Between the gain of function research and what we saw with COVID-19. I mean, that would be extraordinary because just so the audience knows, if that's true, if it was Peter Dazic's research with the Wuhan so-called Bat Lady that caused this pandemic, then we did fund it. Then Anthony Fauci helped fund the pandemic. The thing that he denied over and over and over to Senator Rand Paul's questioning. That's right. Under oath. It under oath.
Starting point is 01:48:46 Exactly. So it is. Is it any wonder that he sought a preemptive pardon for anything during a certain period of time by President Biden before he left office and then strong armed and smeared people like Dr. J Bhattacharya, anybody who came out and said, I don't know if that's natural. This actually smacks of lab. And the reason why this is so important is not just what happened in the past. It's because this gain of function research is happening in bio labs around the world. I got attacked
Starting point is 01:49:19 and I think you saw this. We've probably talked about in your show before when I warned against us funded bio labs in Ukraine when the Russian Ukraine war kicked off for this very reason who knows what kinds of pathogens are in these labs that's scary release could create another hit the lab and you open it up and all the stuff for that I was called a Russian asset you're you know, trumpeting Putin's talking points all of this nonsense, simply for speaking the truth and stating facts that by the way, are still on US Embassy Ukraine's website today about how the US has funded these bio labs in Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:49:56 But in order to my point is in order to prevent another COVID like pandemic or another major health incident that could affect us in the world, we have to end this gain-of-function research and provide the evidence that shows exactly why and how it's in our best interests, the American people's best interest, to bring about an end to it. I love it. You can pause it right there. So here's my question though. So Fauci, Tom, he was pre-partan, but she's basically saying
Starting point is 01:50:24 there's perjury going to be involved and this gain of function research. Does this still have to go back to the auto pen and they have to just verify that that happened? I can't speculate on that, but what the American people are about to find out is Secretary is About is on the cusp of a Of an announcement that she says and we're gonna I think see truth and we're gonna see truth connected things That I think a lot of people have already been talking about already speculating. She was very well spoken very carefully spoken That is what you want to hear in American leaders. We've done the research. We've done the investigation
Starting point is 01:51:02 is what you want to hear in American leaders. We've done the research, we've done the investigation, we're right here, and she's gonna announce it. Now, auto pen, pardon, all this stuff. However, I think knowing the truth is actually more important than the Fauci auto pen. Tom, some people can't handle the truth. No, no, no, I'll tell you why. No, they can't.
Starting point is 01:51:21 Because the Fauci in the auto pen is that that knowing what happened and cutting it off for next time and not having these things happen and not Having our government operate like this is what's important. That's right. And by the way for me, you know what it's all about I don't care if Fauci goes to jail Believe it or not to me. I want the example and I want China to be held accountable China disrupted the example and I want China to be held accountable. China disrupted the world. I have zero desire for us to play soft with China. Push them to the fricking corner as much as you can. What they're doing right now I fricking love.
Starting point is 01:51:59 This validates what we were just talking about a few minutes ago about China and Fauci's tied to China because you know what's the additional thing that we didn't even talk about? You know what else China is willing to do at all costs? Buy up American politicians and lawmakers. For sure. Buy up universities. Give $70 million to Harvard.
Starting point is 01:52:18 Hey, talk good things about China. Buy up news stations. Buy up real estate next to our military. Buy up all this. They are willing to do all of that. We need to go back to being paranoid again. America needs to go back to being paranoid again with certain people that just don't love what we love, our values and principles.
Starting point is 01:52:37 And by the way, I was about to go to a completely different tangent, we've got to wrap up because of what's going on. I'm going to do one more story here before we wrap up. I think we have to talk about this. We haven't talked about this for a while. It's just a story that I think we need to comment on. Sean Derrycombs' lawyer claims he might not have been mentally capable of crimes due to drug use.
Starting point is 01:52:56 Folks, can I please, please do me a favor, read this with me. Can you do me a favor, Rob, put this up there, because again, sometimes, forgive me because English is my fifth language, Armenia is my mother language, Assyrian is my father's language, Farsi because I lived in Iran for almost 11 years, German because I lived in Germany for a year and a half, then it's English fifth language. I took EFL, not ESL. Let me read this to you one more time, okay?
Starting point is 01:53:20 Ready? Please, hang tight. Some more chemical. Sean Diddy Combs' lawyers claim he might not have been mentally capable of crimes due to drug use. What an angel. You know what this tells me? You know what movie the lawyer's been watching the last week? A movie called Primal Fear with Richard Gere
Starting point is 01:53:42 and the great Edward Norton. I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just. Hey, sit down, stop crying, whoa. Yeah, I just. And then at the end. Yeah, okay, keep watching Primal Fear. It's a great movie. That was just a work of art, man. Good for you.
Starting point is 01:53:58 This lawyer for watching Primal Fear, one of the greatest movies, in my opinion, of all time, of one of these spin job movies that confuses the shit out of you. But let's read this guy here on what he's saying. Shandity Combs' legal team argued he may not have been mentally capable of committing crimes due to substantive abuse, prompting prosecutors to file a motion to exclude testimony from psychiatrist Dr. Ellie Owens, stating, "...the noticed testimony relates to the
Starting point is 01:54:21 defendant's diminished capacity to form the men's REA required to commit the charge offenses, in other words, a mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt. Combs faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and fraud with a minimum of 15-year sentence and trial set for May 5th. Prosecutors emphasize that proving men's REA or guilty mind is essential writing to secure a conviction. Prosecutors must prove not only that the defendants committed the crime, but that they did so with a guilty or blameworthy mindset.
Starting point is 01:54:53 What? And objected if a defendant intends to introduce expert evidence related to a mental disease or defect or any other mental condition of a defendant's bearing on the issue of guilt, he must provide notice to the U.S. government." Tom, when you read this, how do you process this? Well, mens rea is how it goes, is the, you had the cognizant awareness and ability to reason when you committed the crime. Yeah, so This is where they use the insanity of
Starting point is 01:55:30 defense or where you have Certain killings and they say moment of insanity moment of blackout, you know you horrible thing like That horrible thing we talked about in China This man is forced to bury his son alive and they said he gets up incredibly angry completely freaks out and Leaps on a guard with a piece of rope and just chokes him there and you're unable to get him off and do it like that At that moment he does not have mens rea because he is operating
Starting point is 01:55:59 completely outside of himself because of his sheer grief and the horror that he was just subjected to, that his mind has snapped and he's not responsible at that moment for having the kind of logic you would have. Make sense? And they're saying basically because of drugs, Diddy was so out of his mind, apparently for a number of years, over 64,000 victims by some counts, right? Allegedly, right? That he wasn't able to do it. This, Pat's right. You know what this is?
Starting point is 01:56:31 This is a Hollywood script they're trying to write. This is, you know what this is, Pat? This is a Hail Mary against the wind in a snowstorm in Buffalo. That's what this is. And it's being called out by newspapers that are like, and really the headline should be this, Pat, is that the best you got?
Starting point is 01:56:53 That's your alibi? That for a period of years apparently he had no marbles. You want us to believe that. Well he had some marbles but they weren't his. Even the best, look, even the best lawyers, best defense lawyers in the world have a hard time putting a defense up when the evidence becomes so compelling and the stack gets higher. And I think that's what, I suspect that's what's happening here. When they have to go to the point that say, oh, he was completely out of his mind doing
Starting point is 01:57:22 drugs. Really? Which ones? the ones he supposedly committed in New York Those ones he supposedly committed the VMA Awards of ones. He supposedly committed in LA which ones are we talking about? Yeah, so you're telling me he was on drugs for a matter of years and was just so yeah, completely blotto Wow, this is the to me this feels like and I'd love to hear from like, like a lawyer, like a Megan Keller, people who are lawyers, because I think this is just a Hail Mary, and it is like the last item in the box. He's finished, but at the end of the day, and I just, he is, he's never gonna see the light of day.
Starting point is 01:57:57 He is, everything that we've seen, all the people coming forward and everything, this like you said Tom, Hail Mary grasping for straws or now he's mentally So that means you know it is he did all that stuff. He did it every day You did he's what the lawyers saying that's the lawyers basically lawyers indirectly saying that he did all the crime. Thank you The crime. Thank you. That's what that says. Yeah, I don't know what the hell's going on with Diddy What what either grasping at straws to do this? I've never heard of mens rea There's more probably more of likelihood that he was hanging out in the restroom at this point But the and then the whole you're doing drugs
Starting point is 01:58:32 So you don't know what you're doing, buddy. I grew up born and raised in the nightlife scene in Miami I've seen people on cocaine ecstasy MDMA GHB What's the new stuff they're doing these days? To see the whole deal. Never once were they like, yeah, I had no idea that I was doing organized crime for years. Stop it. Did he stop it? You know, you know what he's going to be doing very soon. If he goes away, he's gone. He's going to be sharing a cell and the guy is going be singing him, my mind's telling me no, but my body,
Starting point is 01:59:07 my body's telling me yes. Maybe he don't wanna hurt nobody, I don't see nothing wrong with a little bumpy ride. Kelly. Tom Goff. With R. Kelly, yeah. Bubba the Soulmate, hold still. No, no, it's called R. Kelly is what it is.
Starting point is 01:59:26 But you can't screw around with stuff like this, man. It's just some stuff you gotta just do your best to avoid and not fool around with. Can we do one last story before we wrap up? We gonna do one. What's the last one you wanna do? Is there one you have very strong opinions on? Van Jones.
Starting point is 01:59:40 I mean, do you wanna do a serious one or? Van Jones. Give me a serious one, give me Van Jones. Let's go to Van Jones. All right, Van or? Van Jones. Give me a serious one. Van Jones. Let's go to Van Jones. Alright, Van Jones. Van Jones.
Starting point is 01:59:48 Van Jones. Van Jones. Having figured out position beyond outrage at Trump. Good for him for saying something like this. Rob, is this a clip or a story? So on Monday, CNN's Laura Coates, live, CNN Public Commentator and former Obama advisor Van Jones said that Democrats have yet to figure out what the proposition What are the Democrats offering besides outrage at Trump and Musk Jones said I applaud governor. Is this it Rob?
Starting point is 02:00:11 Yep, go for it Commentator van Jones is back with us now along with former Minnesota congressman and 2024 presidential candidate Dean Phillips Welcome back to both of you Dean. Let me begin with you. Is this Strategy from government, okay, so it's gonna be long and Philips, welcome back to both of you. Dean, let me begin with you. Is this in your opinion a realistic strategy from Governor Pritzker? Oh shit, okay, so this is gonna be long. All right, let me just wrap up this. If you, Rob, you find it, I'm gonna try to wrap up the rest of the stuff I'm reading here.
Starting point is 02:00:35 He says, I applaud Governor Pritzker. We do not, Rob, I can hear you. Can you hear him? Yeah, I applaud Governor Pritzker. We do not need to stand up and we do not need people to try to raise the stakes. Most people are sheeple. They're gonna to look around and try to raise the stakes to figure out what they're supposed to do.
Starting point is 02:00:51 And if everybody is kind of calm, wringing their hands, then most people won't move. But you need two things. You need a fire alarm and you need a fire station. A fire alarm is somebody that can raise the concern level in an appropriate way, he added. But we also need a fire station. Who's going to put out the fire? The opposition is important, but what's the opposition? What are Democrats offering besides outrage at Donald Trump and Elon Musk that has to
Starting point is 02:01:16 be worked out? Adam, thoughts? Well, listen, sometimes I'm critical of Trump, sometimes I'm complimentary of Trump. But the one thing you can't say about Trump is he is playing the game. It's almost like team Trump versus the team Democrats. And one team is playing the game and the other team is just on the sidelines booing. You're not going to win the game by booing at the other team. And that's what the Democratic party is at this point. The boo Trump F Elon F Trump you suck. What's going on? Yeah, but you guys aren't running any plays whatsoever on the field. So you
Starting point is 02:01:53 got to give Trump credit. He's out there. He's going long. He's taking chances. He's moving the ball upfield. Yes. Sometimes he'll have some interceptions, some turnovers, but you're just sitting there booing from the sidelines. Like voters, aka the fans in this case, you got to give them a reason to cheer for your team, not just boo at the other team. And I feel like that's exactly what the Democratic Party is at this point, just booing at Trump, booing at Elon, but not actually in the game themselves, running any plays. That's what I gotta say.
Starting point is 02:02:26 Okay, and no matter what, there's some Pritzker saying, calling out like fire, hey we need to do this. Is this the one, Rob? Yep. So here's a billionaire from Chicago that wants to become a president, and he's probably a capable guy. I think he's a top five guy
Starting point is 02:02:38 that's gonna be formidable, and I think he'll be running in 2020. Maybe not, he'll be walking. But he will be, he, he, I don't know why you guys are, he will be, I'm not trying to be funny, I'm just being very, Rob, can you play the clip? I didn't mean to do that to you guys,
Starting point is 02:02:53 I would never do that. Play the clip, Rob, go for it. Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now Okay The Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box. Punish them, soapbox and punish them at ballot box. Do you hear what he said though?
Starting point is 02:03:44 Mobilize protesters, strip Republicans, they cannot know a moment of peace. You know what that, that's a dog whistle, just like when, what's her name, Maxine Waters, was like when you see these people get in their face and get in their face, don't let them rest, that is the Democratic Party. They're the party that wants to cause violence and they want to push you to the limit so you can fight back, okay? Push it to the limit. Well isn't that isn't that ridiculous? Something that's like lighting a match and then blaming the fire on the wind. Like, yeah, look,
Starting point is 02:04:12 does the inflammatory statement surprise me with JB Pritzker? It's not a dog whistle. When you hear him speak, the position is so easy to see. Like on Google satellite maps of Chicago, Governor Pritzker is easy to see. So I think you've got opportunities here to either be upset at this or to respect your opponent and how they might be drafting. I never, never, never pick on a last place team. And I'll tell you why.
Starting point is 02:04:43 Because they're about to get draft picks that can change the game And I think that Van Jones is not just screaming at microphones He's being very methodical and hit people on his side are gonna start listening to him Yeah, he's saying we need to find a measure. We have not found the angle. We have not found so, you know what he's doing He's not screaming like what be Goldberg He's not just repeating, you know pablum to the masses on their side the way, you know, he's doing? He's not screaming like what be Goldberg. He's not just repeating, you know, pablum to the masses on their side, the way, you know, Rachel Maddow as he is trying to find a strategy. And I respect van Jones for doing that. Even as I disagree with
Starting point is 02:05:14 van Jones on his principles and foundations. And now you got JB Pritzker is up there. Where was he? Where was he speaking in New Hampshire, New Hampshire. Why is he speaking in New Hampshire? First place. Exactly. He's up there starting. And so I respect the fact that they're out there trying to put it together and the slogans aren't going to do it. We're going to stand on the soap box. We're going to punish them at the ballot box. Oh, that's very nice. That's a political. So that's a red meat line and everybody cheers. And I said, but wait, what do we, what do we say when we're on the soap box? What do we do? He left that out. There's two pieces of bread and no meat. That's when you talk to political strategists, they say that's what it is. And it gets everybody to cheer and clap. So you don't have to go police crap like Jeb Bush. It just goes. And so that's
Starting point is 02:05:56 what I think. I respect what they're trying to do. I think Pritzker is a more formal candidate that people think on the, on the core. His battle test is wealthy. He's tough. He's strong. He on the core. He's battle tested, he's wealthy, he's tough, he's strong, he knows the game. Like I always say, always say, listen, you campaign in poetry, but you govern. You're pros. You didn't say that, Mario Cuomo said that,
Starting point is 02:06:17 Bill Maher quoted on me yesterday, a couple days ago with Terrence Howard, and don't try to own this quote that you're Mario Cuomo all of a sudden. I'm just saying, I'm giving a shout out. Giving a shout out, PBD. Oh my goodness. What I will say, I want to ask your opinion on JB Pritzker because on one hand, by the
Starting point is 02:06:32 way, I think he's losing weight. I have a big opinion on him, but go ahead. I think he's losing weight. I think he looked at Chris Christie and said, I can't go out like that. I got to literally lose a hundred pounds because I got to get to 2028 without eight aiding somebody. So this guy, he's a billionaire. You know, he's got name recognition. He's not some schmuck congressperson like AOC or the girl down in... Neither is AOC by the way. Let me tell you.
Starting point is 02:06:58 She's a congressperson. She's not a schmuck. No, no. AOC, you're going to think AOC is not going to carry weight on 2028? I'm not saying that she doesn't carry weight I'm saying this guy's a freaking governor. So you know, she's a ten-time better marketer than him. Okay, she's Congresswoman from woke Bronx She doesn't run a state. She has zero pull whatsoever that party just cuz she gets media views does not mean she knows how to govern Yeah, clearly. Let me tell however, I have however, but what I want one angle yes, I happen to think she's smarter than people think I don't think some of the
Starting point is 02:07:29 Don't think she says I agree with and I think sometimes she's missed the mark and what she wants to do But she went she went to Boston University And she graduated with art with honors and was a double major and people try to portray her as this this this silly bartender That's not who she is is I don't agree with her positions but I respect what she's doing and I respect which one of us is the Democrat here Tom what's going on here but I'm saying let's not be cocky before Super Bowl I'm simply saying that a governor yeah carries more weight than a senator a senator carries more weight than a representative I'm saying I'm simply saying that a governor carries more weight than a senator. A senator carries more weight than a representative.
Starting point is 02:08:07 I'm giving him praise, but what I'm saying is this. Do you think he's a viable candidate in 2028? I need that button, Rob. I need that button to save my voice. Cause you know Pritzker's anti-cho. Do you think he's a viable candidate in 2028 is what I'm asking. What's viable?
Starting point is 02:08:23 Top five? Do you think he's a top three guy? I think he's a top five guy. Top five. Okay. By the way, you gotta let the market decide on how they're gonna fight. I don't know how they're gonna fight. I'm just saying he's a top five guy.
Starting point is 02:08:32 At the end of the day, end of the day, do you put him above or below AOC as a viable candidate? Oof, 28? Yeah. It's a very good question you're asking. I mean, if you hit the button, I couldn't have asked the question. Yeah, you know that No, you still haven't made a point but it's
Starting point is 02:08:50 Do you know because Pritzker and let him answer the question Vincent I Don't know I mean if you if you go to like when I think about somebody who's ran a business and ran a state to like when I think about somebody who's ran a business and ran a state, governor is above Congress. So I agree. When I think about a marketer, somebody who has marketing down, I mean, who was Bobby Kennedy? But he was a better marketer.
Starting point is 02:09:17 Big time. Than a lot of the other guys. Who was he big? What was his experience? True. So to me, I give a lot of credit to AOC knowing how to make noise. Matter of fact, let's go to this next story and wrap up. Rob, can you go to the Instagram post and watch who commented on this Instagram post, which was kind of
Starting point is 02:09:30 interesting. So I posted this. This happened at SLS. We're having dinner. Tom, you weren't with us. We're at Flagler's. Paula's sitting next to me. Jen's sitting to my left. And I spoke to this very successful man who has three daughters who all told him they have no plans of having kids. Good man, makes a lot of money, very successful. Their careers combined with today's societal pressures has caused them to second-guess starting families. This mindset is becoming increasingly common.
Starting point is 02:09:58 There's nothing in life that compares to having children. All the money in the world, all the accolades, all the items checked off the checklist, none of it comes close to the experience, Rob, if you can go a little bit lower so I can read that on that side, to having and raising kids, okay? So I say that. And then look, our friend here goes on the comment section, Rob, if you can go there on Instagram, I don't know if you see it or not. I screen grabbed it. Oh, you okay, right there. AOC comments and she says the United States is one of the only developed countries in the world that doesn't support new mothers and parents
Starting point is 02:10:29 with federally paternal, federal paternal leave. If we want to talk the pro-family talk, we need to walk the walk by supporting paid paternal leave and guaranteed healthcare like the rest of the developed world, invest in affordable childcare and public education. Her and I went back and forth in our DMs. We've been communicating for quite some time here But we had an interesting exchange together Tom when you hear this
Starting point is 02:10:52 Three daughters you got two daughters Imagine if Bailey and Brooks is that we don't have kids right what that feels like and number two why we got here and What reasoning she's making what do you say to that so? point point one My daughters are not allowed to buy into this. And I shouldn't say not allowed. My daughters don't buy into this because I give them the facts and the rationale for why we have families and what we do going forward. And so, and I point out the pitfalls and all the headwinds and everything you're gonna face.
Starting point is 02:11:26 Point one. Point two, for people to say, you know, my daughters aren't gonna have kids, I understand the logic. They look at this world, they look at everything that's going on, they look at themselves as having to go raise a family and the complexities and what that's gonna cost, and they see that.
Starting point is 02:11:42 And they don't have someone like me sitting next to them with an alternative point of view because they have a the guy you're talking about as a smart guy Yeah with smart daughters, but I'm telling my daughters listen you can have your career and you can grow this Let me tell you about Jennifer. I sat side by side with Jennifer She had kids and we worked together with a very fast-moving and very complicated company and it's still there and I'll tell you you know know I see how it worked and That's how I feel now the other side here I don't think the ultimate solution is oh the governor's the government swoops in and says we have to have forced parental leave Companies have to have this expense and then well we have to in the rest of the developer world. That's a whole different.
Starting point is 02:12:27 She's inserting a sentence there, and that's a program I'd like to debate her on, because guaranteed health care like the rest of the world, let's pull that out. She's talking about affordable child care and paid parental leave. So she's saying that the government is the solution, and I just don't disagree with that. I just don't disagree that just keep dipping into the ladle and handing it out from what taxing everybody else you create the circle Where people conclude man, this is so complex. I'm not gonna have kids that's Hmm just so I think I think she's being she's rational from her own point of view, but I disagree with it
Starting point is 02:13:01 I think it's an unintended consequences the other way Well, I don't want to cause World War three over this topic again No, you're not going to go for it But I do want to say that there's part of what AOC saying is right and then she lumps in a whole other stuff of You know single-pair healthcare and all this. I think we do need what did you say? I'm so freaking on edge on this topic. I'm like women can choose to do whatever they want. They can do no wrong. Adam, you should be saying it this way. You got 200 monex because of this exchange.
Starting point is 02:13:35 That's true. Go. Yeah, but I will say something about this. Listen, I love you ladies out there. I applaud you for whatever decisions you make. I will say this. There is an overall movement with the modern feminist movement to prioritize your career over having a family. And that might work in your 20s and maybe in your early 30s. But talk to me when you're 40 and you got a great job and no man and no husband and no kids and no family.
Starting point is 02:14:06 That could get very sad. And I'm not even saying that you need to do this. I'm saying the mentality, the Chelsea Handler mentality is what I think people need to overcome. There's no secret men can start later, but I don't see many men saying, I never want to have kids. That's not what I want to do. I see them saying, you just said you would let me speak. No, no, I'm just saying, okay, breathing. But I will say that the choosing the career over the family, I think will come to bite you in the end. One last thing, as you start to make more money, you almost shrink the dating
Starting point is 02:14:40 pool because of something called hypergamy. And women want to date up. Pat gave me a whole book on this. It basically changed my mindset about this. But as women focus on their career, they make more money, their dating pool shrinks, and basically who they think qualify for them will shrink as well. I just think women need to be very, very cautious about dedicating your entire life to your career and not end up having a family. My last piece of advice, go talk to women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who have done that and ask them if they would do anything different. That's my advice. All right, fair. I think that's good. You did that without disrespecting any woman. Yeah. And I was awesome. I'm actually very impressed by
Starting point is 02:15:22 the way you handled that. Good for you. And there was a point right up front. Faze Lotex? The National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and his Chinese Deputy NCS Advisor Alex Wong have resigned from the Trump administration. Oh, shit. That's not good.
Starting point is 02:15:38 Are we gonna get to that last piece of news? Mike Waltz resigned? Mike, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Well, let me tell you what I just see here. This is what they just send me right now from. Yeah, there's a bigger piece of news out there. Yeah. What? Okay. So the guys from guys from Glendale are sending me this.
