Starting point is 00:00:20 I think I've ever said this before Okay gang, it feels like we haven't done a podcast for a while but it was Saturday when we did an emergency podcast and a lot has already happened since then. A lot has happened since then. There is feud going on between Tucker Carlson, President Trump and a Republican faction, you know, the different factions that they're debating each other and arguing on what's about to happen with Iran and Israel. The tension of that is not decreasing at all whatsoever. The current count when you look at war,

Starting point is 00:00:51 what's going on with Israel and Iran, numbers-wise, you have 224 reported dead, including military personnel and civilians in Iran, from the Israeli attacks. Independent sources say it's as high as 406 killed, 654 wounded, and in Israel you got 24 fatalities confirmed and 592 wounded and a lot of thoughts and a lot of opinions, whether we're going to go into war, whether some are saying it's about to be World War III, some are saying there's a deal being done last night at 1.13 a.m.

Starting point is 00:01:23 President Trump tweeted Something after a macron said it looks like President Trump is leaving g7 because there's gonna be a peace deal getting done and President Trump's like no not at all So there's just a lot of commentary. We'll talk about all that stuff as well. Let me kind of go through some of the stories We have a friend here with us Ricardo Aguilar he's here with us legally He's here with us legally. He's very legal. So you guys know he's one of the favorites. He's been here many, many times and he's back.

Starting point is 00:02:06 Let's go back to Mexico. Hey, I'm on my way. One million according to, I don't know if they talk like that, but I'm just saying one million left according to New York Post. Didn't they all get a little money on the app? I don't know what happens, but they're back. Netanyahu speaks to the Iranian people saying, stand up for your vision, for your freedom. And then Iran, civil war as Ayatollah Khamenei faces backlash from his own inner circle,

Starting point is 00:02:31 cracks at the top, is Iran's inner circle trying to flee? There's videos of Iranians inner circle leaving Iran. Where they're going, who knows, and the credibility of the story, who knows, but we'll definitely talk about it. Israel asked US to join military campaign against Israel, but US rejects the request. Trump defender Scott Jennings argues US should bomb key Iranian nuclear sites. And Scott Jennings is a player saying something like that, so we'll talk about that. Israel planned to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, but Trump said no report.

Starting point is 00:03:05 Okay, that such thing happened. Then he got Trump's vote with the media, House votes to cut $1.1 billion in corporation for public broadcasting funding. That is a scary thing there. Bill Maher sits down, Sean Pence sits down with Bill Maher and he says, even if I got an invite to go to the White House, I wouldn't do it. And then immediately that triggers Bill Maher because Bill Maher, when I met with Trump, he says, oh yeah, yeah, so you're not going to go meet with President Trump, but you're

Starting point is 00:03:35 going to go meet with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez? Well, I feel like I got more done there. You just have to see that reaction. Good for Bill Maher for standing up there. And then a couple other stories here when it comes on to ICE and LA, it's still going on. Newsome, a couple commentary what he's saying with no King's Kings protests. Republicans' interest for Musk cools after his feud with Trump. New polls, poll finds, and I think even Elon Musk did

Starting point is 00:03:58 a physical yesterday showing the fact that he's negative. He did a test at Austin, it showed that he wasn't on any drugs any of that stuff He publicly put it out there and said lol We may even address that Nancy Mase blast Tim waltz after he fails to answer one simple question And you know what it was what is a woman? They still don't know how to answer a basic question like that market fear gauge simmer down Why the 15 looks calm why the VIX looks calm. Entry level workers are losing confidence in the job markets.

Starting point is 00:04:32 As Glassdoor, I applied to over 200 to 300 jobs. Even a guy maniced me this morning saying, �I'm having a hard time getting a job.� I'm going to show you guys a stat on what came out yesterday that I think is important for us to know on the job anxiety levels in America today being at an all-time high. Entry level workers are losing confidence in the job markets as Glassdoor. The fear factor is real. Workers won't leave their jobs even if they hate them because they're so anxious about the economy.

And so now she's denying that she said that. Look I'm not trying to upset some of the people, whether it's he or she. I'm just saying this person denied some of those claims. Matt Crohn will cover what happened there. Trump swipes at Tucker Carlson will cover Netanyahu tells ABC he's not ruling out,

Starting point is 00:05:52 taking out Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. And then there's a couple things going on right now saying let's make Iran great again. Netanyahu urges dissidents to topple regime. And then a few other things here on the bottom. Apparently on TikTok video came out showing the fact that they're paying guys $200 per day in LA to go protest again this no king protest, the anti-ice, Jimmy Kimmel came out, was even out there. And I think even Logan Paul was out there.

Starting point is 00:06:19 It's funny, I saw Logan Paul. Logan Paul was out there. Logan Paul was in LA protesting. Very interesting. Newsome tells Trump's mental fitness that he's lost it. That's what Newsome said and we got a couple of the stories we'll definitely get into.

Anyways, having said that, let's get into the main story. Trump, Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson comes out and says a few words on I think it was the Steve Bannon. And he had a couple different tweets, Rob. I don't know if you have the tweets, I don't know if you have the videos, whichever ones you want to prepare. I'm just going to go right into the story here of what happened with Trump and Tucker.

Starting point is 00:08:52 Is this the clip of him and Steve Bannon? So here's the issue with Israel, Iran. There's a camp that says, attack, let's take out Iran. You know, Scott Jennings from CNN comes out and argues that the U.S. should bomb key Iranian nuclear sites, and a lot of people are on the same page with him, but there's a complete different side. Jennings, one of the most effective defenders of President Trump on cable news, wrote from Jerusalem, Israel on Sunday that the U.S. should bomb Iran nuclear facilities at Fordow.

Starting point is 00:09:24 My thoughts from Jerusalem. Israel is on the brink of remaking the Middle East and ending the biggest sponsor of radical Islam terrorism in the world. Trump's strategic part in this move was brilliant. Trump has stated correctly that there can be no peace if Iran obtains a nuclear weapon. This is a tenet of America's first foreign policy. The Iranian terror regime has never been weaker. Thank you Israel.

Starting point is 00:09:45 This is what he says. The chance to end them as a destabilizing force cannot be dismissed. In my opinion, Trump would be justified in taking out Fordo Nuclear Enrichment Facility. It would be a righteous decision and if he does it, no question in my mind that he would deserve the Nobel Prize. This is a once in a generation chance to make the world safer and defend Western civilization, bomb Fordo, destroy the Iranian octopus, restore deterrence, win the Nobel, America first hashtag. That's Scott Jennings.

Starting point is 00:10:14 And then here is Tucker Carlson on Steve Bannon talking about the same issue, very different opinion. Go for it, Rob. I actually really love Trump. I think he's a deeply humane, kind person. And I am saying this because I'm really afraid that my country's gonna be further weakened by this. I think we're gonna see the end of the American Empire, obviously. Other nations would like to see that, and this is a perfect way to scuttle the USS America on the shoulders of Iran. But it's also going to end, I believe, Trump's presidency and effectively end it. And so that's why I'm saying this.

Starting point is 00:10:48 What do you mean by that? That's coming from you. You get, look, I knew Bush. I knew George W. Bush. We had family connections to Bush. I knew Bush. Personally, I still see Bush sometimes. And, you know, of course, he hates me and he does because I criticized him on Iraq, and that war is the sum total, from historical perspective, of his administration. But I knew him, and he had all kinds of plans for the things that he wanted to do. But once... Domestically.

Starting point is 00:11:18 Domestically, to improve the country. Right. And you may agree or disagree, but like, in his mind, he wasn't just about the invasion of Iraq in March of 2000. Oh no no he was gonna redo Social Security, he had all his AUG types, he was gonna take care of the entitlements issue. And he really thought it was gonna work. Yep. And you could laugh at that or whatever but the point is the second you get enmeshed in a real war, not a fake let's go bomb the villagers and declare success, we

Starting point is 00:11:42 don't even have a good track record like why, why are the Houthis still there? I mean, there's a whole other question, which is how prepared is the U.S. military for a real conflict? And the answer is totally unprepared. Scary unprepared. I don't think people understand that. Do you have the tweet, Rob, of what Tucker said? Do you have the tweet on Mark Levin, all these other guys? I can find it. So anyway, so while that's happening, somebody asked President Trump about Tucker Carlson. I don't know if you saw this one.

Starting point is 00:12:08 Did you see what he said? Live? Live. Somebody asked President Trump, Rob, I sent you the clip if you have that. Here's when he's asked out of nowhere, hey, about Tucker Carlson, watch what he says. Go for it. How does he respond to Tucker Carlson criticizing you, saying that you're complicit in the war?

Starting point is 00:12:24 I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen. Damn. Vinny, thoughts on this entire exchange? On this exchange? Not just this exchange. You know, you have Scott Jennings, one camp that's saying attack, take him out. You got one camp saying no, don't do it.

Starting point is 00:12:43 Who are you at with this? Just in a nutshell, I mean, listen, you got to tip your hat to BB-9 Yahoo Just from the from the jump every single time this guy has asked for war and wanted us to get involved It has worked Libya Afghanistan Iraq every time from if Trump is warning and we're sending Airplanes and we're sending all this stuff, that guy wants it, that guy gets it, okay? And this whole situation, Pat, let's just be honest, Tucker has not shifted. Besides being America first, we don't want any new wars.

Starting point is 00:13:16 This is what we were talking about, this is what we were promised. I don't want another war, period. And I don't know how you, how does it flip? And that's my question back to you guys. How do you go from no to peace treaty to this to absolutely no war and then all of a sudden it flips? It's just a complete 180. And it's like, I don't understand it.

Starting point is 00:13:36 He was pro-peace and then Mike Walz got caught in those rooms with the Israeli signal chat. Trump got pissed off at Bibi. He's like, what the hell are you doing? He goes overseas for those meetings. He doesn't even meet with Bibi. So there was beef there. And then all of a sudden, now they have nuclear weapons.

Starting point is 00:13:55 And if you saw Tulsi Gabbard in March, in March, she said, the United States intelligence community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khomeini has not authorized a nuclear weapon program that he suspended in 2003. And then Trump says she has no idea what she's talking about. So you mean to tell me the director of national intelligence isn't intelligent on this topic? And it's like here's my thing, I've been getting a lot of messages from people from Iran and everything like that I just hate the games are being played okay especially with BB Net Yahoo

Starting point is 00:14:31 if you want regime change which I know he does just say it stop with the nonsense about Iran trying to assassinate Donald Trump and trying to drag us into it okay you don't need to do all that shit just say you want it there's 90 million people there I got a message on my neck this morning, but I gotta show you this Just really fast. There's a guy on my neck. That's Iranian and you know his attitude is he's like listen you guys are on We're getting put you guys are getting pulled into another war He was the Iranian people need change but not through war through their own will through protests

Starting point is 00:15:03 That's how real lasting change happens and not other countries going in and saying this is what you need Okay, and in regard to the nuclear stuff Pat. This is my my assessment is That every country has no everybody's attitude is why they have nuclear facilities and all that stuff every country has nuclear energy That's not the issue. It's transparency. That's why we have the IAEA It's the International Atomic Energy Agency their job is to verify that nobody's building bombs Okay, Iran signed it they go there. They check on their shit Israel doesn't sign it Israel's not involved in it and as everybody always says and Adam you've said it before Israel doesn't have Nuclear weapons yes, they do and you know why nobody before, is there something happening with nuclear weapons? Yes, they do. And you know why?

Starting point is 00:15:45 Nobody can go in there and see what they're doing. I don't like the attitude. I don't like the flip-flop. I don't want, because everybody's going to say, well, we need to take them out. They're building a bomb. He's been saying it since 2012. I don't believe it.

Starting point is 00:15:58 That's my point of view. Tom, thoughts. So there's a lot new to unpack. I mean, we're seeing Netanyahu. We're seeing Scott Jennings. We're seeing things things so let me start with Scott Jennings really really quick Scott Jennings is not out there like a Nikki Haley warhawk. Let's go fight. Let's just go dive in what Jennings said He used the word Trump can't miss let's not miss the opportunity to conclusively end the nuclear threat from Iran and let's not miss the

Starting point is 00:16:26 opportunity to remake the Middle East. If Trump did something supportive he would be justified is what Jennings said and I think you should get the Peace Prize. That is a hell of a lot different from the Warhawks that are out there saying you know there's just sheer bloodlust let's go go go go go. So I think the media is trying to make Jennings sound a little bit more war hawkish than he was there, especially because he talks about a quick action and then ending with the Peace Prize.

Starting point is 00:16:54 Now, Netanyahu, yeah, I mean, there haven't been, we can talk about inspectors throughout the Middle East, but you know, there have not been inspectors that have successfully gone through Israel, and and by the way Arab countries who have their Motives and they're trying to start trouble of their own you know have said you know hey if you're gonna inspect us you get Expent inspect everybody and so that's how I feel about that, but right now I also think Netanyahu is being pretty shrewd because they say there's 60% of the people in Iran who's being pretty shrewd because they say there's 60% of the people in Iran want regime change.

Starting point is 00:17:27 We've seen the videos of people cheering. And so when Netanyahu goes out and says, let's make Iran great again, I don't have a problem with you. I have a problem with your government. He's really trying to stoke the protests and stoke the opposition party to go to go do its thing. But you know, he's no saint, but that's what's going on in my view Adam BB Nanny who will probably go down as the Winston Churchill of

Starting point is 00:17:51 Israel so you can tell a lot about regime not how they deal with External forces on how they treat their own people. I would argue that the Ayatollah and the regime in Iran Treat their people worse than any regime in the Middle East, possibly the world. You know, we've seen all this free Palestine, free Palestine, free Palestine movement. Cool. I get it. You know what movement I'm all about? All about free Iran. I'm all about free Iran. Iran has been hijacked by this theocratic thug-like Islamic regime since 1979. I also believe in symbolism. They've been in power 46 years to be exact.

Starting point is 00:18:37 Trump is president number 45 and 47. Is he not? Smack dab in the middle of that is 46. I believe that Trump when he says Iran cannot and will not obtain a nuclear weapon. I believe he knows what he's talking about. I believe that Trump Believes in what he's saying I believe he believes his intelligence for all the people out there that don't think Iran is working on a nuclear weapon What the hell do you think they a nuclear weapon, what the hell do

Starting point is 00:19:05 you think they've been doing? What the hell do you think they've been negotiating? What the hell do you think they've been working on for a decade? That you think they're just having fun, peaceful conversations over nothing? They're developing a nuclear weapon and Nyan Yahu is looking at them and he's saying, this is the line in the sand and we're not going to deal with it. But Adam, we said the same thing in Afghanistan and Iraq and they didn't have anything. We went to war for 20 years. Yeah, were we doing nuclear negotiations with Afghanistan? Of course, we sent inspectors all the time. We sent inspectors.

Starting point is 00:19:36 I want to understand one basic thing. Do you think Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon? Is that what you're saying? Adam, here's the thing. Do you think they're not developing a nuclear weapon? It's what you're saying? Adam, here's the thing. Do you think they're not developing a nuclear weapon? It's not about what we think. We can't start a war over a hunch. There's already a war going on. But we can't get involved in a war. America's not involved. I totally understand that. I understand, but when we're moving our fleet

Starting point is 00:19:57 down there and trying to, we're getting our army ready for it, our military ready for it, we're showing signs of aggression. That's the way I'm looking at it. On top of that when we voted Trump in, he said as of day one we were gonna start to stop the war with Russia and Ukraine. That didn't happen. And then as of day one that we were gonna have that the Palestine Israel things solved. That didn't happen. On the complete opposite now here we are a hundred something days in. Now we're getting ready to fund another war, help them with another war. That's not what we signed up for. I totally understand and I totally appreciate why the American people are completely over

Starting point is 00:20:31 funding foreign wars. I totally understand that. I'm with you. I don't want any American troops on the ground, but people have to understand there's nuance in this conversation. We don't have to have any American troops on the ground. If we want to live in reality, let's live in reality. Have American troops been in Gaza? Zero. Have American troops taken out Hezbollah? Zero. Have American troops been in Syria? Why is that any different in Iran?

Starting point is 00:20:54 I hear you loud and clear, no American troops on the ground, no American lives lost. I'm with you. Israel has the ability to fight their own battles. Let's give a little credit to where to credit do. They've taken out every single terrorist regime around them and now they're about to knock out blow Iran and America hasn't to do anything So meanwhile, we've given me while we've given Ukraine. We don't have to we've given Ukraine more money in the last two years We don't have to we've given Israel in the entire life We don't have to physically be to support that matter of fact the people in France That we've given Israel in the entire life that we don't have to physically be to their support that matter of fact the people In France just all of them in the at the Bay just said hey We're not gonna be loading these weapons for them in France are doing that right now. Well French is a bunch of gay frogs But but Adam but here's the thing you're saying the intellectual if the director of national intelligence

Starting point is 00:21:38 Because you're saying if Trump says it's there now just in March They said he's not doing anything that you guys are claiming that he's doing. Zero. He's not going to try, he's not trying to make a bomb. Why the flip? What? So from March, April, May, June, now all of a sudden in three months, what they've been

Starting point is 00:21:55 saying, this is the clip right here, Pat, they play and then, and then this is what he says about, is this the both videos, Rob? Yes. Okay. The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003. The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.

Starting point is 00:22:18 Okay, this is March, guys, mind you. In March, Adam, they're not making a bomb. I trust the intelligence coming from the director of national intelligence. I'm just, and Adam. Maybe we're living in two completely different realities because every piece of information I see out there. Where are you getting it from?

Starting point is 00:22:33 Is that Iran is building a nuclear weapon. Adam, I, Adam. What are we even doing then? What are we even talking about? Hold on, Adam, Adam. Everything that you're getting is from Israeli intelligence and Bibi Netanyahu, hold on, that's been wanting this war forever.

Starting point is 00:22:47 He wants this war. And when people like you, hold on, I'm just telling you the fact. No, because you say stuff like free Iran, what's the plan, Adam? What's the plan? What's the plan? Look at the, it's not bomb the shit out of pretty damn good right now. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question.

Starting point is 00:23:01 Let me ask you a question. I'm listening to this and I'm trying to hear everybody out. I'm really trying to hear Scott Jennings saying, you know, bomb Fordo. And I'm really trying to hear Tucker saying, hey, don't go. And do you have the Tucker tweet when he says about Mark Levin and he's got all the names? Not this one. There's another one. Just go to his handle and you'll see it if you go a little bit lower, go a little bit lower, go a little bit lower, go a little bit lower, go a little bit lower.

Starting point is 00:23:26 Let me see what that one is above it. Click, show more please. Yeah, this is the one. The real divide isn't between the people who support Iran or Palestinians. The real divide is between people who casually encourage the violence and those who seek to prevent it, between warmongers and peacemakers. Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who's calling Donald Trump today to demand airstrikes and other

Starting point is 00:23:49 direct US military involvement in a war with Iran. On that list, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Rupert Murdoch, Ike Perlmutter, and Miriam Adelson. At some point they will have to answer to this, but you should know their names. Okay, so I think we talked about this on the podcast last week. I'm trying to understand what he's saying. Got it. So I'm trying to understand what President Trump is saying. Why is he attacking? Who has the most intel between you, between Tucker, between Jennings, between Trump, between all these guys? Who has the more intel on what's going on? Okay so then

Starting point is 00:24:24 the question for me goes to the following. Remember when he killed Ghassam Soleimani? You remember when he did that? Okay, were you supportive of it? When he killed... Ghassam Soleimani. Yeah. Why?

Starting point is 00:24:35 Because he was trying to do damage here in the United States. So Iran's no longer trying to do damage to the United States? I didn't say that, but the conversation is nuclear... No, no, stay on this. This is my question. It's what I'm asking. You'll see where I'm going with this. Because I'm trying to watch, truly I'm sincerely trying to watch everyone's patterns.

Starting point is 00:24:53 My position has been the same for 46 years, okay, when it comes to this topic. Because I lived there, I saw what they're all about. All I'm trying to ask is the following. When Trump came to Assam Soleimani, how many Republicans who voted for Trump celebrated that day? Every single one of them. Why did they? Because they recognize a threat when a threat is seen.

Starting point is 00:25:16 But isn't that an act of war? When we killed their number two guy that was supposed to be the president and be the leader of Iran? Yes. So why did we celebrate? Why were we not upset? Actually answer that question, Vinny. Think about it. All of us.

Starting point is 00:25:32 I'm asking that. I'm asking why did that not upset and why were so many people, go back time to tweet of what people said at that time. Show strength. Took them out. When you try America, check yourself. See what happens. Why were you not upset? And why are we upset now? What is the only difference between why were we upset, why were we not upset then versus now?

Starting point is 00:25:56 I think with Soleimani, it was a strategic thing that took him out because he was trying to do stuff on our soil. This situation. No, but what hasn't changed though? Because, meaning, it has to be at that time if they did because they were trying to do something on our soil and after we kill them they no longer want to? You don't think they no longer want to do anything to US? You don't believe them when they say death upon America? You don't believe it. You think it's just an act? No, I 100% believe them. There's only one thing that's changed. What's

Starting point is 00:26:31 the only thing that's changed? The way that the, what they call, woke right views Israel. That's it. The only thing that's changed is there is a community of people in the last, since October 7th, that absolutely cannot stand, trust anything with Israel and that triggers them. You know, when I watch everyone, I listen to everybody. And I'm not listening to people that disrespect. Anybody that disrespects, boom, muted, block, go away. If you say something to me respectfully, I want to hear it. Think about people, rank things that trigger people the most.

Starting point is 00:27:17 Can we agree that number one is Trump derangement syndrome? Do you see what happens when you see someone that hates Trump? How they react? They're like, hey, I want to read you some of these tweets of what Barack Obama said. And they'll read it. Oh wow, that's powerful. That's amazing. That's this.

Starting point is 00:27:35 Oh, that was actually Trump. Oh really? Yeah. I want to read you what Trump said. Oh, that's why he's a white nationalist racist. Oh, these were actually said by Obama. Obama never said that. Let me play the clip.

Starting point is 00:27:45 You ever see that? What does that tell you? TDS, okay? Rank me the top five deranged syndromes. If number one is TDS, what's two? Number two is Israel deranged. I guarantee you number two is Israel. 100%.

Starting point is 00:27:56 And by the way, most of you are in one of the two camps. If not both. Yeah, some are in both. But most of you are in both of the camps. If not both. Some are in both. But most of you are in both of the camps. So then what happens? Which one are we falling for? I'm trying to be as reasonable as possible. I'm trying to see like when Netanyahu says, oh they try to kill the president.

Starting point is 00:28:20 Stop it. Stop it. It's like dude, don't talk like that. I don't even like you talking like that. That doesn't, like as a president, you know when they're seeing this, is this the one, Rob? Yes. How long, does he get into it right off the bat?

Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah, pretty quick. Go for it. Watch this. Do you have the one of Trump reacting to it? I can find it. Okay, play this clip here. I want to talk about the nuclear threat and I want to talk about President Trump. You just said Iran tried to talk about President Trump. Watch this.

Starting point is 00:28:45 You just said Iran tried to assassinate President Trump twice. Do you have intel that the assassination attempts on President Trump were directly from Iran? Through proxies, yes. Through their intel, yes. They want to kill him. Look, he's an enemy number one. Okay, pause it right there. What was the answer?

Starting point is 00:29:02 What was the answer? Through proxies. Through proxies, yes. Through their intel, yes. You didn't say yes, we have it. Because if you got the intel, give it to me if I'm US. Okay. So one, why are you saying that? Are you saying that because you want the people to be even more like, okay, so that's one

Starting point is 00:29:17 part. The other part, when people say, you know, Trump is owned by Israel, you know, US is ran by Israel. You know, US is ran by Israel. Come on guys. I mean both sides are playing the game to get eyeballs and if the success is based off of how well your tweet did, and then that's like, oh okay, no, that could also be the mob being on your side. But if we were happy when Ghassam Soleimani was killed and we thought that's showing strength,

Starting point is 00:29:47 what changed? My concern right now with this is, I do think the US is going to be pulled into war. I do think that. I do think it's going to be nasty. I do think the Iranian people want this. And I know this is gonna sound weird guys. When it was 1977, 78, 79, when eventually the revolution happened, the Iranian people,

Starting point is 00:30:13 nine million revolted in the streets, they wanted the shot to fall. They wanted it, and it fell. I think the Iranian people right now, if you go look at some of the protesting videos that are being sent, they're celebrating saying we're going to be free again. Do you realize, like, think about the most basic stuff that Iran, if you think about the most basic stuff, I'll come to you, Ricky.

Starting point is 00:30:34 If you think about the most basic stuff, do you think if you're living in Iran, you don't think you want tourists to come in? Think about if you live in Iran, Vinny. Say you love your country. Do you want tourism? Vinny Gosses Of course. Dr. to be a Christian walking the streets without having to worry about what's going on? Would you like that? You would like that. I would like that.

Starting point is 00:31:06 What if you're like Ricky? Ricky is not wanting to leave California. You don't think Ricky wants California to change? You don't think Ricky wants to see a red person come in there? Of course they do. The Iranian people who are living there, the Iranian, Iranian people want this to be done with Khomeini and their people They want to be good with everybody around the world and they're not today. They're not today. And so there is that camp

Starting point is 00:31:32 So to me, I'm simply watching everybody's position to see what argument they're making To see where they're coming from and I'm in my eyes Whatever way this can get done with the least amount of friction is the best way But at this point it looks like we're headed in the direction of going to war. That's what it looks like as of right now Yeah, I think my question would be to you Pat was obviously as many other viewers may or may not know you're in a lot Of communication with with people that are involved directly with this even people with you Iran living in Iran, same thing with you, Vinny. But my question would be, they want that liberation, they want a regime change, but at the cost of a war?

Starting point is 00:32:16 Or is it a revolution they want to start and they want help with it? That would be my question. There's many angles of being able to achieve any goal. But what do they want that war? Because that's gonna come at the cost of their lives as well. It's gonna come at the cost of their destruction as well. So I have no doubt that they wanna change,

Starting point is 00:32:35 but what avenue would they rather take? What are their options? Well, they're- For 46 years, they've tried every peaceful avenue. Well, they revolted. I remember you told me when you were living in Iran There was a revolt because of what happened with the theater. They killed people and made a scene of X-fire Yeah, but at that point that's because the US CIA got involved

Starting point is 00:32:55 MI6 got involved a lot of them got involved because they were fearing the show was getting too powerful Iran was getting too powerful and a Middle East was at peace even though Guys go up there and you know say oh my god you keep talking about the Shah you ought to be done with talking about the Shah and you know all the it's the truth. When it doesn't mean Israel didn't start wars. It doesn't mean Israel didn't go out there and look at their threats and have their motives. My basis was when Iran was ran by the Shah, there was good relations with Iran and there was no war there. They weren't causing wars. Iran was peaceful. It's back to the point where MBS, you think about what MBS is trying to do, right? Saudi Arabia. They're getting tourism, they're getting guys like Ronaldo,

Starting point is 00:33:44 they're getting fights over there, they're getting the live golf. Did you hear what he had to say on 60 Minutes? Did you see what he said on 60 Minutes? Vinny, have you seen this? I saw a section of it. Watch this here. Go ahead, last. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Iran is not a rival to Saudi Arabia. Its army is not among the top five armies in the Muslim world. The Saudi economy is larger than the Iranian economy, Iran is far from being equal

Starting point is 00:34:05 to Saudi Arabia. But I've seen that you called the Ayatollah, Khamenei, the new Hitler of the Middle East. Absolutely. Why? Because he wants to expand. He wants to create his own project in the Middle East, very much like Hitler, who wanted to expand at the time. Many countries around the world and in Europe did not realize how dangerous Hitler was until

Starting point is 00:34:28 what happened happened. I don't want to see the same events happening in the Middle East. Does Saudi Arabia need nuclear weapons to counter Iran? Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb. But without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible. Okay, so here's a question. That is MBS from Saudi. Here's a question. Sounds pretty reasonable. Here's a question I want you to think about, okay? What do you think his motive is? What do you think MBS's vision is? To make Saudi Arabia one of the like biggest, most powerful tourism. Is that the impression you're getting?

Starting point is 00:35:06 Yeah, he's okay. He loves his country and he wants you been to Saudi Arabia. I have have you been yes Did you feel safe? Um Kind of sort of where was when was it? I was I was in a couple of places. I was in what year what's the last? Um there I came here Seven years ago six years ago, so seven six years ago you were in Saudi Arabia. Have you been to Iran? No. Why not?

Starting point is 00:35:29 Never crossed my mind. If you got a comedy skit right now to go to Iran to do a show, would you go? Right now? Two years ago. Probably not. Probably not. Why not?

Starting point is 00:35:39 Just say I'm an American, I'm a veteran. But do you feel safer going to Saudi versus going to Iran? Oh, for sure. Okay, so when you think about Iran, what do you think Khomeini's vision is for Iran? What do you think their number one is? So MBS is what? To be like, you know, nice place to go, you know, events, sports, all this kind of stuff. What do you think Iran's vision is?

Starting point is 00:36:02 What do you think Khomeini's vision is? I honestly don't know. Have a great country, economy. You think it's economy? Well, I mean, what else would I believe? Do you really believe that? Well, what do you want? Because let me ask you this question. Say, for instance, if somebody wants a good economy, say, you're saying you want them to have a good economy. Yeah. All right. If that's your number one, what would you do for your

Starting point is 00:36:27 country to have a great economy? What would you need to do to have a great economy? Tom, if let's just say Khomeini or the leaders of Iran want to have a great economy for their country, what are some five things I can do to make my country better for my people? Oh my gosh. You would open up trade discussions. You try to get some trade treaties put on you would try to get invited as a guest to things like G7 and get diplomats together You would try to play nice with the world stage to get people to recognize you and to step it back Look what Saudi's doing with sports with f1 with soccer with live golf. They're trying to bring people in there

Starting point is 00:37:04 They're trying to engage the rest of the West and be an active, good participant in all that and get trade with, you know, they've got a lot of Petro, of course, and get trade and things set up with the rest. Iran doesn't look like it's doing any of that. So Tom, your impression of Iran is that's not what they're trying to do.

Starting point is 00:37:22 That's not what they're trying to do. What do you think Iran's number one is? The current leaders of Iran, what do you think their number one is? I believe they're on a Islam-driven mission to destroy what they feel is their enemies. Do you believe that, Vinny, or no? Yeah. You do believe that? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:37:42 What do you think their, and when it comes down to having relations with other countries to open up the economy and allow other companies to go there, what do you think their, when it comes down to having relations with other countries to open up the economy and allow other companies to go there, what do you think that ranks for Iran? Right now? Period. Ever. Like in the last 46 years. How important do you think that is to them?

Starting point is 00:37:57 I mean, I don't know. I don't follow their... Like number 68. But you don't have to follow it to see motives, right? You don't have to follow it to see motives, right? You don't have to follow it to see motives, you know, because when we're commenting on things like this, if last night I had a meeting with all my insurance executives, top players, meeting started at noon and it finished at midnight. Midnight, 12, 30?

Starting point is 00:38:23 Yeah, we finished at midnight, yeah. Okay? We're at the lounge until 12 o'clock last night. It was a room of a bunch of people that some get along, some don't get along. Some wanted to be there, some really didn't want to be there. It was a tough meeting that we had. But you know what brings everybody together? It's one question. What is it? What's in it for me? What's going to happen for me? Pride?

Starting point is 00:38:47 Some of the people are like, Pride, hey, I built this company, I want to take it to the next level. For some people it's what's in it for me. And what does what's in it for me do? It gets everybody, okay, you're going to make money, you're going to make money, you're going to make money, okay, cool. All right, sounds good. Let's roll.

Starting point is 00:38:59 I trust. Right? With MBS, if you know his main motive is what? I want to open up the economy, I want tourists to come here, I want people to feel safe, I want all that stuff to be taking place. Rob, can you pull up the map of the Middle East? I want people to feel safe. He has to be thinking about what do I need to do to make this entire region safer so

Starting point is 00:39:18 a guy like you that's coming in is not even worried about it, right? Look at that. Saudi, Qatar, and who's right next to them? Iran. You see where Iran is right across from the water? Boom. So, they don't want that. Iran doesn't want an open economy.

Starting point is 00:39:39 Saudi doesn't get up and MBS doesn't get up and say, death upon America. Screw the infidels. They should die, we should kill them. That's not how they negotiate. So again, I'm not sitting here saying let's go to war. What I'm saying to you is, the Middle East would probably be a better place if a different regime was running Iran.

Starting point is 00:40:02 And if that was the case, we would be more at peace. It doesn't mean Israel's not going to change being, what's the word, ambitious. It doesn't mean Israel's going to change being less ambitious and wanting to get their massage to lower all this, and AIPAC's going to slow down. No, they're going to keep doing their agenda. None of that's going to slow down. But the common denominator here is everybody on the right was happy when Hassan Soleimani said, oh my God, that's my leader.

Starting point is 00:40:29 That's my president. He's shown strength. But now, no, no, no. Why? Because there's Israel Derangement Syndrome. And guess what? You either have TDS or you have ideas. We have one of the two.

Starting point is 00:40:43 So here's my question. So how does this play out to help Iranian people? So they're gonna go in there, they're gonna bomb, they're telling everybody to get out of Tehran, where my mom and dad are from, where your whole family is from, where you're from. I wanna know what is the, so kill, they're already taking out the leadership,

Starting point is 00:41:01 which is a great thing. Then you're gonna take out, I'm just curious, what is the plan? You take out, let's- What the plan you take out your question is what's the end goal what's not yeah I love plans about and I'm not sitting here advocating for Iran or their leadership at all I'm just curious okay Israel is doing it we're gonna get we're gonna get put into it what is the end game now you take out Khomeini you take out all the nuclear stuff okay then what Israel's? Israel's going to put somebody in or are they going to have elections? I don't know what that looks like. That's what I'm curious for. And again, not pro Iran or what's

Starting point is 00:41:36 happening over there. I am just anti United States as a veteran going to war. That's it. I'm simple. Let me respond to Vinny. I totally understand where you're coming from. More than you actually think, because I think as an American we look at what we've done we've done over the last couple decades getting involved in foreign wars and there's a lot of Americans who are just like I'm so over this. Afghanistan, Iraq, what we're going on out there. But just because you're over that, it's almost like we're playing scared now. Now we have a trillion dollar military budget. Why are we spending so much money to let our machinery and defense capabilities rust like

Starting point is 00:42:19 we're the old Soviet Russian military? In my opinion, a lot of you guys are playing scared and don't recognize what's actually happening in front of your eyes. Not hypothetical, not playing scared. The Iranian regime is teetering and at any point might be eliminated. By the way, the Ayatollah Khomeini is 86 years old going on to meet his martyr pretty soon. And Israel, this little country that could, has eliminated every terror threat around them. And they're probably looking at Iran and being like, we've taken out their air missile defense capabilities. We've just taken down their nuclear facilities, despite people thinking they don't have nuclear capabilities. And in Israel,

Starting point is 00:43:02 to the point where Iran is now calling Qatar, Saudi, countries around the Middle East basically saying, please help me, we need your help against Israel. This is the same regime that's talking tough, chanting, kill, death to Israel, death to America, death to England, death to the infidels. So in my opinion, I totally understand why you're frustrated. But if I could go and recreate everything we've done over the last 20 years, I wouldn't be in Afghanistan I wouldn't be in Iraq. I wouldn't be in Libya. I wouldn't be in Syria. I wouldn't do any of this I would stay laser focused on the massive problem in the Middle East and that is the Islamic Republic of Iran period if

Starting point is 00:43:40 if if then Yahoo had an a Blank check to do whatever he wanted to do in the Middle East with nobody stopping him If, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, I know I understand but I believe that I'll answer your question. I believe that he's not that my question is is Not just his people first if he had the opportunity to do anything unstopped and unchecked with no balances What do you think you want to believe that really border? What do you think? He would want to dominate other countries

Starting point is 00:44:18 What do you think if we just let him do whatever the hell he wanted to do? What do you think he would do? Okay, and I'll put this back to you because I want to know what you think he would do. I believe that Bibi is Israel first. I believe that she is China first. I believe that Putin is Russia first. I believe in a weird way that the Ayatollah is kind of Iran first, but more Islamic revolution first. So the argument that Israel wants to expand its borders and what govern a billion Muslim Arabs as if that's what they want to do is to me so far fetched and nonsensical that it actually doesn't make any sense whatsoever. So let's go there for a second. I'm not sure what you're speculating.

Starting point is 00:44:54 I'll let you answer this. I always say your question. Okay. Are we saying because I've heard this argument that the Israeli aggression and the Israeli expansionism is trying to take over the Middle East to me. That's so stupid Are you trying to tell me that Israel the size of New Jersey is trying to can we pull that map up one more time? Please well, I'm trying to say that Israel which is trying to defend itself is trying to govern All of that really to me they can we really govern the people of Gaza and Palestine

Starting point is 00:45:25 much less Turkey Iraq Syria Iran Saudi Qatar basic question yeah but do you remember I think they I think they just want to have their own borders and stay in peace and just bit but to assume that a small country can make do damage that we forget what Japan Japan did to China and went in there and take over China well brother were throwing up babies and landing them on the baton a's of their rifles. I mean to tell me your country Tell me your point. I just don't I Every time and again, I am NOT just so you know, I am NOT an anti anti Israel person I am NOT any of that

Starting point is 00:46:00 Because I have a lot of you know friends and you and I see both sides, I listen to Vinny, Vinny has his side, you have your side. But when I listen to Netanyahu, it just seems like he's always wanting to instigate some shit. It just seems that way to me. I could be wrong, but it seems that way to me. It's always like, for example,

Starting point is 00:46:17 when they ask them, oh, you have a credible threats that Trump, they wanted to kill Trump. Well, yeah, we have this proxy, like, bro, you're making a big, that wanted to kill Trump. Well yeah, we have this proxy, like bro, you're making a big, that's not something small. That's not- Well Trump reacted to that. Rob played a clip of Trump reacting to that.

Starting point is 00:46:31 Yeah, that wasn't something small. That was a big statement to make. No, I couldn't find it. I thought you had one of them up there that you were showing. No, but you know what, here's a question for you. Question for everybody here at the panel. Okay, do you think there is propaganda going of people being anti-Israel?

Starting point is 00:46:49 Do you think propaganda is taking place right now to be pro-war? Do you think there's actual money being spent right now on propaganda, whether it's APEC, Qatar, you know, different people that are putting up there. Do you think people are being paid to spew propaganda today? Yes. A thousand percent. Do you think they are?

Starting point is 00:47:14 A hundred percent. Everybody on every side. Okay, so then let me ask you this question. Do you think any of it has worked on you? Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, I would be, yeah, anybody says no is a liar. Everybody's swayed a certain way by stuff that they see and they read and they so then what do you Do so doesn't get a hold of you Facts facts don't care about if you are going for facts

Starting point is 00:47:37 Actual facts then you're gonna get swayed either way if you watch Fox You're gonna have this point of view if you watch CNN You're gonna have this point of view if you're just out there trying to get the truth I think the truth stands on its own merit. You don't have to go. Well, I'm kind of swayed Show me the facts and then I'll make a decision Does that make sense? I don't think that's it I don't think you don't think facts now because even facts can be consumed, you know But a fact is the truth is the truth it is but it's not like, if I give you data right now

Starting point is 00:48:08 and I tell you, you know, from 19, even the other day, Guy responds, from 1941 to 79, 77, how many people died in the Middle East because of wars? Since, so what year? So it's very simple, go to ChadGBTRob, ask this question. From 41 when DeShaw was president to 77, okay, till 77. This video I posted, retweeted because of Bill Ackman. Bill Ackman retweeted this video, something we talked about on the podcast a couple days

Starting point is 00:48:40 ago. It was posted on this other parody account and it got 10 million views but also got a lot of hate and commentary on it. I can't believe you said this, I can't believe you said that. It's one of the videos. Rob, is that the one? I believe so. 9.1 million views. Yeah, so this one right here, right? Which is the not-PVD account, but it's from our podcast. So the video is actually not an AI video, but it's a video from us. So go back to ChadGBTROB and ask the question from 41 to 77, how many wars were started

Starting point is 00:49:15 by Iran, Israel? And then ask the question, how many people died in the Middle East during that time? And what is 41 to 1977? How long is that, Vinny? Thirty- what? Thirty to be exact. Thirty-six? So what we're going to do is we're going to measure 36 to 36.

Starting point is 00:49:33 Pre-Shah, post-Shah. So Israel wars and conflict wars Israel was involved in. Arab-Israel war, war of independence. Death toll 15 to 20,000. Six thousand Israelis, nine to 15, war of independence. Death toll, 15 to 20,000. Six thousand Israelis, nine to 15,000 as Arabs. Suez crisis, Israel-UK-France, three thousand total. Egyptians, Israelis, British, French. The Six Day War, 1967, 20,000 Arabs, 800 Israelis.

Starting point is 00:50:00 The Yom Kippur War, eight to 19,000 combined, 2,600-2,200 Israelis. Iran did not start any major wars. None under Pahlavi. Iran was involved in some border skirmishes, but no declared wars. That's my point. I don't care what Israel does. Iran is my main point of common denominator here. Vinny, this is how many people they started wars with.

Starting point is 00:50:34 Iran. Okay? 36 years. And by the way, all of these wars that Israel started, yes, they get credit for starting wars. Hang on a second. Attacks. But what I'm trying to say to you is, yes, some of them were instigated by Israel.

Starting point is 00:50:48 Say. Okay? But what do you see with Iran during that time? What does it unequivocally say? Iran did not start any major wars during this period. The only thing they did is what? Protect their border. That's how many years?

Starting point is 00:51:01 That's when the Shah was under leadership. Now do me a favor, what's 36 plus 77? What's 36 plus 77? So you got 23, 2013 I think. So if you go to, now do the same thing and type in the same exact thing except change it 78 to 2013. This is data. You said you like facts, right?

Starting point is 00:51:26 That's how to not fall for propaganda? Let's do it. I don't know what it's going to say, by the way. Wars and campaigns. Watch this. 82, Lebanon war, first Lebanon war, Israel invaded Lebanon, blah, blah, blah, PLO, 15 to 20,000. Gaza wars, 1,400 Palestinians, 160,000.

Starting point is 00:51:44 So you got two of them right there that Israel started. The DLO, 15-20,000. Gaza wars, 1,400 Palestinians, 160,000. So you got two of them right there. That Israel started. Iran. Ready? Iran was a major city in proxy wars. Iran-Iraq, 1980-88. 500,000 to a million.

Starting point is 00:51:58 Support the Hezbollah. Then you got post 2003 Iran conflict. Death toll. What's the total count there? Go a little bit lower. What are you looking at there? Estimated death toll, 825 to 1.6 million. Who's the common denominator? Is it still, you're still going to, what is it?

Starting point is 00:52:19 I thought like Iran is a peaceful regime. Vinny, but what I'm trying to say is if peaceful regime. I never said that. But what I'm trying to say is if we know that the common denominator that gets people to shake and shiver is one country, it's only Israel. And I don't blame you. I get it. Even when people have TDS, you know what I say? I get it.

Starting point is 00:52:43 Because Trump is a little bit what? What's Trump? Is Trump cocky? Is he super confident? Is he a guy that will call your ass out nonstop? Does he give a shit whether your name is, you're an ally, you're this, you're that? He does that nonstop, right? Okay.

Starting point is 00:52:58 Guess what? Does Israelis think a little bit highly of themselves? Do they think they're better than you? Do they sometimes give you the vibe that their shit don't stink? Yes or no? Yeah. Yes And how do we feel about people like that? We don't like them. I never liked them when I was in high school people like that I didn't get along with people like that. I'm a one-pointed GPA guy in school. I'm a regular guy that came up in school So I understand both deranged syndromes

Starting point is 00:53:21 But you said facts are facts. Those are facts for you pre 78 Deranged syndromes, but you said facts are facts. Those are facts for you pre 78 The Middle East was at peace for the most part post chaos What is a common denominator the Hezbollah's the Mullahs Khomeini? Rafsanjani all of those guys Cause chaos and they don't want to do business with you.

Starting point is 00:53:46 They don't want to do business with capitalism and all these other guys. They don't. So this is the part when I say, has propaganda ever gotten a hold of you? Like hey, I know for a fact these guys are Zionists funded by XYZ. You guys know. By the way, to all the people that say we're funded by Zionists, how many sponsorships do you see we do? Tell me.

Starting point is 00:54:08 Go ahead, I'll wait. How many NFT sponsorships do we do? You don't think we were offered millions of dollars? The other day my sponsorship guy back in the days who we moved on with, texted me. He said, Pat, I still tell people how much you ate sponsorship money. How much sponsorship money have we taken, Vinny? Vinny O'Brien Zero. Dr.

Starting point is 00:54:30 Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr.

Starting point is 00:54:38 Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. None of it. You heard none of it. By the way, I can't believe you're selling merch.

Starting point is 00:54:48 I can't believe you're doing this. That's our way of saying, if you support what we do, it's our way of saying we don't want sponsorship money because we want to be able to talk openly. Does this mean eventually we'll do some sponsorship with some companies? Yes. But it's going to be stuff that we want. It's going to be stuff that we like. Stefano Ricci, we believe in the brand.

Starting point is 00:55:04 I've been buying it for many years. I'm at their house having dinner with their family. I spend the night. We have a relationship. We're there in Italy. There's something going on. There is a relationship. Because to me it has to be a relationship that you're talking on something that you're

Starting point is 00:55:16 using. But we're living in a time that propaganda is just... I'm getting the messages that I get. You know, if I say something about Israeli people, you know what they'll say? They'll send me a message, watch this, do this, watch that, watch this, you know you're this and they'll say stuff like, oh this is MLM, insurance MLM, that's what they'll say. But do you know if I say anything about Iran and Islam and Muslim, what do I get?

Starting point is 00:55:42 Death threats. Do you know how many death threats I got about my family and my kids in the last week? That's the difference in the character. That's the difference in their character on how it is. By the way, you ain't never going to win me over there because I watch behavior. Your behavior is death threats, it tells you what you're all about. The other behavior is you want to hurt my business, both of them are hurting, but wants to kill you, the other wants to kill your business.

Starting point is 00:56:12 I have a problem with both, but guess what? There's a very obvious window and a line there. And by the way, again, I understand a lot of people, oh God, He's such a this, He's such a that, He's such a this. No, I don't fear any man. I don't care if you're Scientology, Christian, Muslim, Islam, seven day, I'll talk to anybody and I'll break bread with you and I'll enjoy it. No matter what time of the day it is.

Starting point is 00:56:38 We have God on our side. Every day when we're walking, I don't let fear get a hold of me. The man upstairs made such major miracles happen in the world since day one, I rely on that. That's where my confidence comes from. So all those messages doesn't do anything to me. But we're at a point right now that we have to, all of us ask ourselves, what propaganda has got a hold of you?

Starting point is 00:57:01 Which one? Which one got a hold of you? And none of us want to tell the truth. But it's getting ahold of all of us. And we have to kind of step back and say, whoa, mom and dad get a divorce. Each family side is selling me propaganda. You know your dad is really this, right?

Starting point is 00:57:15 You know your mom is this, right? I'm like, look, we're gonna find out in 20 years who's right. 20 years later we found out who was right. My dad's family did a lot when my parents got divorced when I was six. So Patrick, just really, really facts, I know you wanna move on to another story. So what would be the best case scenario,

Starting point is 00:57:29 meaning we go in with Israel, we attack, we kill the leadership. How would we, I'm genuinely curious, how would it look? Because if you take them all out, then what happens? Does somebody else take Khomeini's? Now you're talking, Vinny. Yeah, there we go.

Starting point is 00:57:44 And that's my concern. That's the problem. He gets replaced with the other one. No, we don't have somebody right now. Yeah. Reza Palaevi, nice man. The prince. Now we've had him on two times. He told me straight up he doesn't want to go back and now you want to go back? What do you want to do? Yeah. So I don't think he's gonna go back. Do I think he can play a role like a, what do you call it, a advisor, something like that? Yes. But somebody needs to be vocal. I got the weirdest call Saturday morning. Weirdest call Saturday morning. It's so funny, like all this stuff is going on. On Father's Day, my dad gives me the weirdest gift. One of my dad's biggest fear was when

Starting point is 00:58:18 we came here, what was going to happen to my mother? My mother was going to take me back to Iran. Do you know on Father's fathers and my dad gives me my Iranian passport? What? He had that? He gives me my Iranian passport. Wow. Yeah, from 1986. This is me.

Starting point is 00:58:34 Wow. Crazy, right? That's crazy. Did you know he had it? Yeah. No, I had no. He's never told me this. Wow.

Starting point is 00:58:43 And he somehow got a hold of his passport just so I could never go back to Iran. Because I needed this to go back to Iran. He got this just so I couldn't go to Iran and I joined the army, he wanted me to get the hell out of LA. Crazy, right? When you hear these stories. But to me, my concern there is Vinny,

Starting point is 00:58:59 there isn't anybody we can get behind. Like at least in America when shit hit the fan Trump, okay great, there's somebody. Okay, great, you know, there's Millay. Okay, great, there's Buckeye. Okay, great. Who is it? This is a sweet man right here.

Starting point is 00:59:14 Is he a strong enough man to go up against them? I don't know. I don't know, because the job of the person to be able to do that is gonna take brass. You have to understand games, deception, brass, you have to understand games, deception, wars, you have to understand all of that, and you still gotta wanna do it. It's a big job, it's not a small job.

Starting point is 00:59:33 So I wanna give you the last word and then we'll go to the next story. Yeah, I don't understand, and you would know better than me, I don't understand why people are saying, well, who's gonna, if we do regime change, who's gonna be next? If we do regime change, who's gonna be next? Why don't we worry about that when we change the regime because I'm very convinced of one thing. That's not how work You're not hold on hold on. Let me tell you how it does work

Starting point is 00:59:54 Because you saw what happened in Syria. They took down Assad now you have an ex-ISIS leader running the country He's dressed up in a suit. They put lipstick on a pig put him with Trump, meeting with MBS, he's doing a pretty good job, apparently. Now when you do regime change, I'm pretty sure we changed Hitler to a Democratic leader. That worked out okay. I'm pretty sure that we changed Imperial Japan into a Democratic leader. That worked out okay. So I know we don't know who the next leader of Iran will be, but here's what I can freaking guarantee you. Can't be worse than what MBS called the Ayatollah Hitler. I hear you.

Starting point is 01:00:30 I got you. I know what you're saying. Do you think there's anybody worse than the Ayatollah? You're talking to the wrong guy here, bro. So which one is it? No, but you need somebody to rally behind. You need somebody to give the freaking rally cry. You would know better than me.

Starting point is 01:00:43 The rally cry is freedom. No, it better than me, the rally card is freedom. No, it is. No, no, you're right, it is. But someone needs to sell that. Okay, well you're telling me there's not one Iranian person that they respect and they can lead them? Is that what we're saying here? Let me ask you a question.

Starting point is 01:00:56 When Argentina was going through the mess of being a fricking socialistic country, and at one point being known as what, the Paris of whatever, Buenos Aires was known as a, Paris of what did it call to South America right what happened what caused us to be interested in in Argentina what Eva Perrone singing crime no it's called afuera afuera afuera oh that was me late 75 years later bukele but the point is you need a vocal leader you need somebody that's selling

Starting point is 01:01:22 it that's going out there campaigning sitting in front of media telling what's going on. Who is that person? How do we not know that person in Iran right now? Well because they can't speak up in Iran because they'd be probably hung from the news. Musk just gave them Starlink. Okay. But that's not even a point. It's not even a point. Even with that, somebody… You tell me. Who's the leader? That's the… if I don't know, that's the problem.

Starting point is 01:01:42 But they don't know. That's a you problem, not a me problem. But Adam, you just kill up, okay? No, no, I get what you're saying. Are you trying to tell me that… No, that's the problem. But they don't know. That's a you problem, not a me problem. But Adam, you just kill him. No, no, I get what you're saying. Are you trying to tell me that? No, that's not what I'm saying to you. I've met so many Persian leaders, entrepreneurs, smart people. This has nothing to do with…

Starting point is 01:01:50 Oh yeah, they're going to take over Iran, Adam? They're not going to take over the outside countries. Excuse me for a second. You would know better than me. Where did the Ayatollah, where was he living when he was implanted in 1979? Thank you. Was he not in Paris? I thank you for saying that.

Starting point is 01:01:58 Did they not bring him in? I appreciate you for saying that. I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said not in Paris? Thank you for saying that. Did they not bring him in? I appreciate you for saying that. I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said that.

Starting point is 01:02:10 You know what happened in the streets of Iran? Do you know in the streets of Iran, he would send cassette tapes in and the guy that I had on the podcast that was the founder of IRGC with Khomeini, he was the one that would record the tape. He's the first voice in the cassette tapes. The guy that was sitting here. He's introducing Khomeini, edifying Khomeini. The tapes would come to Iran, and you know what people were doing all day, every day for months at a time? Because back in the days it would take a while to do.

Starting point is 01:02:37 They're recording tapes and say, pass it out. They're recording tapes, pass it out. Recording tapes, pass it out. Millions, you know how long it takes to dub tapes back in the days? Because it was only two. Boom, 45 minutes, go. Boom, so you have hundreds of those machines in a place

Starting point is 01:02:51 and they're just going like this, go, going like this, go. How long does that take? How long does that take? And every time he would give the speech, boom, propaganda. But there was a vocal leader who was in France that was screaming and saying, Dasha is taking all your money, if I come back to Iran, I'll give you free rice, I'll give you free electricity, I'll

Starting point is 01:03:09 give you free home. He was full of shit. But he said all that stuff because he was a vocal leader. The Iranian people are sitting there watching all these people become rich in Iran. They're like, yeah, maybe that's going to happen. That guy right there, Mohsen Sazeh, he was the voice of that tape. So yes, you're right, there needs to be a voice. By the way, you know how quick that person can rise?

Starting point is 01:03:32 Like this. That person can rise very quickly. But the way that person needs to do it, guess where that person needs to go? He needs to go and sit in front of 200 meetings like this. In front of camera. You just heard MBS, he said what? He gave his position, here's how he feels about Iran. Oh shit, I didn't know he was gonna be that strong about it.

Starting point is 01:03:49 He called, I told Hitler. But at least. That's MBS saying this. And guess what, who's doing that? Do you believe him or not? Someone from Iran needs to be doing that. They don't have that leader. Can I make a friendly suggestion?

Starting point is 01:03:58 Sure, of course. And come at me, either Reza Pali V is the guy or move the flip on and nominate someone else. Because if you're trying to rally around a leader, either you're the guy or you're not the guy. You're the guy or you're not the guy. Because Ayatollah, when he came in in 1979,

Starting point is 01:04:17 he said, I'm the guy. And everyone said, okay, let's rally around this guy. Either the Shah's son needs to step the flip up and be the guy or go nominate someone else and rally around him. Well guess what? Enough's enough. Because you don't want to have Israel be the person that puts your next leader in charge. Pick your leader and Israel do your dirty work. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story because guess what? We tried for an hour

Starting point is 01:04:41 folks. I know we disappointed you. We were not able to solve the world. I think we were. I think we were. I thought we almost had it, but we failed again. I think we're a little bit closer. We failed again. Maybe one of these days we'll figure this stuff out, but who knows? Till then, we're gonna keep talking freely and seeing what direction we can go with this. All right, so next thing.

Starting point is 01:04:56 Can't talk freely in Iran, I know that. Can you run a poll, Rob? Run a poll, say how many of you guys would like to see us do a case study of sending Adam to Iran for a week Just a poll I mean if Adam goes to Iran, and I don't know if you ran the poll yet or not. It's running right now.

Starting point is 01:05:25 Let's see how many people vote. With the Supreme Leader aka Adolf Hitler is running Iran. Let's send Ricky back to Mexico. Newsome, with all the riots in LA, all the riots going on in LA, we got Ricky here. The reason why I got Ricky is because Ricky is as qualified to speak on this as possible, and I'll tell you why in a minute. I actually want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's perspective.

Starting point is 01:05:39 I want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's perspective. I want to hear Ricky's Ricky is as qualified to speak on this as possible and I'll tell you why in a minute. I actually want to hear Ricky's perspective.

Starting point is 01:05:50 The riots in LA have been a mess. No kings, you know, whatever riots across the country that they did, which will probably go down as the dumbest campaign ever in a history of trying to do community organizers to go across the country to disrupt. It's the dumbest campaign ever, the most embarrassing campaign ever ran by the left or the right. Hundreds of millions of dollars of somebody's money was wasted. But here's Gavin Newsom, okay, talking about the president and how he feels the president is doing. Go for it, Rob. Because the other night, he came out and said that when you guys spoke, he warned you that if you

Starting point is 01:06:32 didn't get things under control, he was going to bring in... Stone cold liar. Look at this guy. Stone cold liar. He made that up. Like he makes up so many other things. He never... Oh my God. And he also seemed to make up this idea that the National Guard did a great job last night when they weren't here.

Starting point is 01:06:54 They weren't even deployed and he claimed victory. He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. I mean, he, this is serious. This is a serious, he is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable. Now I've even a train of thought.

Starting point is 01:07:18 He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk. And he's got a band of people that are complicit in this and that's what's so damn alarming. So Vinny, Ricky, your thoughts on the LA riots, on Newsome, the comments, stuff that he's saying and we'll come back to this here but I want to first hear Ricky's thoughts. Go ahead Ricky. First of all, let me make two full disclosures. Number one, I don't speak on behalf of all the Hispanic community because I always those comments,

Starting point is 01:07:49 oh you don't speak on my behalf. I'm not speaking on your behalf. I'm not speaking on your behalf. That's number one. Number two, there is a portion of this that is emotional for me, portion of this that is emotional for me and I'll explain why. I mean I'm not gonna, I can't sit here and not tell you that I don't have an emotional factor to this. Let me explain why. My parents, my parents came here, my mom was six years old when she came to this country. My grandmother had already had five kids. My grandmother came over here. She was six months pregnant with my Tia Teresa. My Tia Teresa was born in San Francisco.

Starting point is 01:08:31 She jumped aboard her pregnant and they lived in San Francisco. My mom was here, beautiful little redhead girl when she was six years old. My dad came here when he was 18 years old. My mom's side of the family, they worked in the fields, picked grapes, you name it, all of it. My uncles were mayordomos, my mom picked grapes, she did the field work, all of that because we live in Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley. And my dad and his family and his brothers ended up in the restaurant business. So my dad was a dishwasher, my dad was a waiter,

Starting point is 01:09:05 my dad never did the fields, but he did do that part. And all his brothers did the exact same thing. They ended up moving on to become entrepreneurs, owned restaurants that came out on Time Magazine. My dad and my uncle's side of the family became very successful entrepreneurs. So there is an emotional side to this. And I would be lying if I didn't say that.

Starting point is 01:09:23 However, one thing that is that that we also have to understand is that no matter what way you look at it the law is the law and you could say all sellout, coconut, I've already heard all this other bullshit, I've already heard all of it and I've been called all of it but I will tell you that a lot of people also agree with that. For example, I know that a lot of the protests are being funded and they're out there burning cars, waving the Mexican flag. It's wild to me that you come to a country that we broke into, let's call it for what it is, even though it's emotional to me, I come from illegal immigrant parents.

Starting point is 01:10:01 I have illegal immigrant family members to this day. And that you're demanding something as if you're entitled to it. And you're waving the Mexican flag in America and saying, oh, F-I's. I was telling this, I was having a conversation with somebody on Instagram the other day. We were going back and forth. I said, if it, let's say right now with all your stupid ass little signs, if we sent you to Congress and you represented all the Hispanic community, how would we end up if everything was on your shoulders with your FIs, stolen land, this used to be Mexico, is that what you're going to go tell these congressmen?

Starting point is 01:10:41 If amnesty was on your shoulders, is that the route that you're gonna take? And that's the irritating part, I think for a lot of us. I understand, for example, 1996, 1986, which that's how my grandfather became legal here, and my uncles and my mom did, was because Ronald Reagan gave amnesty. And here's my emotional part, here's my emotional part, that a lot of people won't agree with on the right, okay?

Starting point is 01:11:06 But I'm gonna speak from, I'm just gonna be very honest. When we vote, for example, when Trump, and by the way, just to make one thing clear, I do not regret it, I do not regret it. I don't like everything that Trump does, but I don't regret it. I'd much rather have a Trump than a Kamala. When Trump said, hey, this is the people we're going after, we were being told

Starting point is 01:11:30 that there was people eating cats and dogs in apartments in Denver, Colorado and the Tren de Agua and this and that's what we were being told. So therefore when we're saying hey they're gonna you know they're gonna go after all these guys that are that came that that Biden let in when we're saying, hey, they're gonna go after all these guys that Biden let in, they're saying anywhere between 15 and 11 and 15 million people, that's who we assumed they were gonna come after. Your first raids are in freaking LA, like you're like, what the hell is going on here? That's the emotional part. Logically, it's the law. That's the logical side.

Starting point is 01:12:03 And any Hispanic that comes from immigrant parents, whether your parents are immigrant or not, or Hispanic here, or any minority, you have to see things for what they are. It's the law. Like, no matter what, it's the law. Matter of fact, Rob, can you play this? Let me give context before, Rob. This video is in Tijuana. The Central Americans showed up in Tijuana. Nobody likes illegal immigration. Let's see what the Mexicans in Mexico

Starting point is 01:12:31 did to the Central Americans, please. Shoot it, Rob. What's this, Ricky? This is in Tijuana with a Central American caravan kicking in from the south. This is a caravan. This is a caravan. This is a caravan. This is a caravan. This is a caravan. This is a caravan. What's this Ricky? This is in Tijuana with a Central American caravan came to Tijuana.

Starting point is 01:12:51 And look at the signs. Well you'll see them right now Pat. It's only a minute long video. No a la invasion. No to the invasion. No a la invasion. This is in Mexico. This is not LA.

Starting point is 01:13:01 Those are the Mexicans on the other side. Mexicans. Look. Look how they're treating the Central Americans. Puro Tijuana cabrones. Look, primero nuestros pobres no invasión Tijuana, primero México. First America. Give us a little subtitle.

Starting point is 01:13:16 Si, ilegales no, no la invasion. Mexico does this, you hypocrites. That's what pisses me off. Mexico does this. You want to make all racist, fascist. If you don't support the cause, then you're just you're implicit. Silence is implicit. What about this shit? What about this? No country likes illegal immigration. There's no racism involved. There's no fascism involved, whether we like it or not. And if Trump and if ICE were to pick up, I would be

Starting point is 01:13:51 personally affected in a very, very, very, very, very close manner to me. But the law or the law, this president and by the way, nobody said anything when Barack Obama deported 3 million people. And I love this. Oh, he did due process. No, he didn't. In 1996, Bill Clinton signed a bill that allowed expedited exportations. He used it, Bush used it, Obama used it, Biden used it, and so did Trump. There's no due process. 75% of the people that Barack Obama deported were deported immediately using the expedited

Starting point is 01:14:26 deportation. But it's so crazy that you say these facts to Mexicans, to Hispanics, oh no, because now no Mexican used to know what the word due process was, Pat. Not all the Mexicans know due process. They're all lawyers now. They're all lawyers now. They're all lawyers. All of them are lawyers.

Starting point is 01:14:43 Due process, Barack Obama did it. You know what Mexicans remind me of? It's like when you're with that boyfriend that beats you up but at the end he tells you he loves you he'll never do it again. That's how they are with the Democrats. By the way, what happened last year when they were questioning the lady that was responsible for the kids, the immigrant kids, they couldn't track 300,000 immigrant kids in one year. Where was the protest for that shit?

Starting point is 01:15:13 Zero. They're our kids. 30% of women coming up to the border from Central America, our women are getting raped on the way up because what happens in Mexico, and it's colorful it is and you have to you can get all emotional stupid about it here's the reality behind things that's Mexico is corrupt so when you go and do some shit like that and you say okay well there's two choices you're either gonna go to jail or and I'm gonna deport your ass back to El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Colombia, Peru, Chile or this is what option is. 30% of the women coming up to the

Starting point is 01:15:46 southern border are being raped. Our people are dying in those deserts. And then there's the argument of, oh I love this one, oh then who's going to mow your lawns? Who's going to do the construction? Who's going to pick the grapes? So you're okay with our people being exploited then. They're getting paid minimum wage. My grandmother worked in the fields, my mom worked in the fields, my grandpa, my uncles. They will tell them either you work longer and you don't get paid overtime or we're going to call immigration. Our people have been threatened by this for years.

Starting point is 01:16:19 For years. I grew up in the heart of it. Cesar Chavez, my grandma and my grandpa, my mom worked in the fields when Cesar Chavez was there. Like you don't tell me. I'm sitting there, I went to go have lunch. My grandma made a sopitos for me the other day. I was there in Lamont, California,

Starting point is 01:16:35 Woods edition off of DeGiorgio. And I'm talking to my grandma, I went because I wanted to go learn. I'm like, what am I missing here? I said, grandma, tell me. My grandma's been here since 19, my mom was born in 1969. She got here in 1975.

Starting point is 01:16:48 She remembers all of it. And I said, grandma, how do you feel about these posters? I get pendejos? Why would you do that? You're making us look bad. She says, you gotta love this country. Oh my God. But it's all the new woke pendejos.

Starting point is 01:17:03 It's not, you know what I feel bad because I know because people are my grandparents and my uncles, they're sitting there like, bro, you're making this worse for us. Why are you doing that? But I understand to a certain point, there's organized, it's organized chaos. They're paying people to do this, right?

Starting point is 01:17:17 But I think that that's the annoying part of Hispanic. You're burning down the city. But like, for example, I'll tell you, and it's so funny to hear people like in other states that were not raised in California or not living in California don't understand how this works because in California, this is the state that everybody came to first. Now you have Mexicans in Utah, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, shout out to Sal Rodriguez, one of my guys in Pennsylvania who owns a bunch of business over there, comes

Starting point is 01:17:44 from immigrant parents. We were not in those states originally. In the 60s and 70s, we landed in California. It's insane to me. And they really think they're making a difference. But again, emotionally, emotionally, Pat, I want amnesty, emotionally. But I also understand how the American people can say no and I can't get mad at that.

Starting point is 01:18:07 There's got to be a part of you as a minority that's here illegally say hey look listen I was watching this video of the Venezuelan lady she made such a great point. She says why do you blame Trump for everything? How come you don't blame the presidents of the countries we're fleeing? How come you don't blame Maduro? Chavez? How come you don't blame the presidents of the countries? We're fleeing. How come you don't blame Maduro, Chavez? How come you don't blame the president of El Salvador before Bukele? How come it's all Trump's fault? You do realize we didn't want to come here. The only reason we left is because we're fleeing tyranny. We're fleeing communism. We're fleeing corruption. We didn't want to come here. Why do you come and protest a president that's taking,

Starting point is 01:18:47 and then the lady says, is Venezuela, oh my God, I'm getting the chills. She says, I wish that our president in Venezuela, Maduro and Chavez, would take care of us the way American president takes care of his people. I wish I wouldn't have to be here. I don't wanna be away from my land. It's just, it's the hypocrisy.

Starting point is 01:19:05 But again, it's the leftist hypocrisy. But again, but I will tell you again, emotionally, if, hey, and we talked about this last night, Pat, when we were having dinner. Hey, you've been here for 10 years or more, you gotta pay a hefty fine, you gotta do this, this, and this. I would ask for IRCA, of 2025, the way it happened in 1986,

Starting point is 01:19:28 is to give amnesty to the people that have been here for 10, 15, 20 years, that have paid their taxes, that have not committed a crime, let them stay. I know that's emotional. You heard what he said, you said what Trump said about farmers, right? Yes, farmers. Can you pull that up Rob?

Starting point is 01:19:43 It was farmers, hotel workers, and construction workers to let them stay. Yeah, I wanna say it was those three neighbors. So okay, our great farmers, people in the hotel leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy and immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them

Starting point is 01:19:57 with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases, the criminals allowed into our country by the very stupid Biden open board and policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our farmers, but get the criminals out of the U.S. Changes are coming. So it's interesting what this means is he's paying attention, and you know who else is

Starting point is 01:20:15 paying attention? Rob, go to the New York Post story, the fact that one million illegal immigrants self-deported themselves. Vinny just showed it to me right before the podcast. Watch this, guys. Okay, one million. By themselves. By themselves, nearly one million illegal immigrants

Starting point is 01:20:33 have self-deported. Can you get rid of that Victoria's Secret? Yeah, I don't know why that's there. You can keep that. It's what sites you go to. Right. Enough shopping for stuff like that, buddy. Seriously, it's a little embarrassing,

Starting point is 01:20:47 but go back up to the top. It's back up again. Is that your car? Nearly one million illegal immigrants have self-deported under Trump, which has led to higher wages. Go a little bit lower. Now we know it's freaking like, fetish stuff.

Starting point is 01:21:00 While ICE arrested deportations for residents of separate compliment mass deportation, and reports are correct that the plan is more successful than anyone would have managed based on government data my organization, the Center for Immigration Studies has conservatively estimated that about 15.4 million illegal immigrants in the US, 50% over the four tumultuous years of Biden administration, go a little bit lower, Ricky, I'm going to come to you. That's no surprise given about a little bit lower, I'm going come to you. That's no surprise given about, I'm gonna go a little bit lower. I'm gonna go to the data side.

Starting point is 01:21:27 Trump wrote a wave of concerns about high cost hospitals, housing, essential government, cities, towns, across US second term. Now that he's back in the Oval Office, it's up to border czar Tom Homan to drive unauthorized population down and restore credibility to our immigration system. Is there anything else written on the bottom?

Starting point is 01:21:40 I'm gonna go to the numbers. Boom, boom, boom, to go to the numbers. Is there any numbers that is where the rebranding coincides with an offer of financial incentives for aliens who leave voluntarily a stipend of $1,000 that's in lieu of costly physical deportation can be about $17,000. I think that's a brilliant way to do it. Here's a thousand bucks to go, but they paid many cases to those coyotes

Starting point is 01:22:09 five, $10,000 to come here. So $1,000 to leave. Ricky. Yeah, but you know what? I'm gonna, by the way, I know people who have self-deported, but let me tell you, those people that are leaving, Pat, is because they came here, they were here 15, 20 years, and they built their house back in Mexico.

Starting point is 01:22:27 And they saved up money. And they didn't have a lot of debt. I have family members, my brother just left to Mexico to live in Mexico. My dad lives in Mexico. My dad says, I don't have any debt here. I have my house in Mexico, I'm gone. My uncle Rafa left to Mexico.

Starting point is 01:22:43 My uncle Luis is getting ready to live. Like a lot of my uncles are getting ready to go back to Mexico because I'm gone. My uncle Rafa left to Mexico. My uncle Luis is getting ready. A lot of my uncles are getting ready to go back to Mexico because they built houses. They built something there. They have no debt. They did things the right way as far as saving and building a house and they went back. So self-deportation is not, to them, some of them are like, hey, look, we've already been here some amount of time, we made our money, we saved up, we built our house in Mexico, let's go home. Let's go home. And that's the part that I think a lot of times

Starting point is 01:23:12 we don't see that, is that, for example, my dad's goal was never to be in this country forever. My dad left when I was 15 years old. I'm 37 years old. My dad left many, many years ago. His goal was never to be here forever. And there's that element of a two of when you come into a country illegally,

Starting point is 01:23:31 you kind of have to have a sort of plan that know that at some point that might backfire on you. The time is coming, yeah. You gotta know that the time is coming where somebody's gonna say, hey, by the way, it's time for you to go home. And again, I think that just kind of last point on this, Pat, it's again, it's a very, very, very split emotionally, because I do come from a legal immigrant parents and I'm

Starting point is 01:23:54 spilt legally, I look at things logically working alongside you almost now 10 years since 2016. You've learned you've taught me how to process things that way where it's not all emotional and this country has laws and Mexico has laws. By the way, just so you know, I landed in a, I forgot where I landed. It's been a while. I was in Mexico. This is a couple of years ago. I saw a plane come in from Colombia. They turned 20 Colombians back. That plane landed at the same time as I landed they sent him back Mexico has extremely strict immigration laws and they do not like foreigners that don't come in the country No, it's good. Then nobody tells you this because this is why I said

Starting point is 01:24:35 This is why I said you have a very unique perspective on this topic. By the way one financial with cited by the Wall Street Journal calculated the client and immigrant immigration immigrant population by One financial with cited by the Wall Street Journal calculated a decline in the immigrant population by 773,000 in the first four months. WAPO claims a million foreign-born workers have exited the workforce since March. The Post framed this as a sign of weakening labor supply. Yet the paper also notes average hourly wages accelerated, rising 0.4% over the last month to $36.24 in May as earning continued to beat inflation and a boost To worker spending power very interesting number right there Tom your thoughts on this because you see what WAP was trying to spin it

Starting point is 01:25:13 That's right. Hey low-wage workers are leaving. What are we gonna do with time your thoughts? Yeah, so there there's a dark side of a couple business segments in the United States and one is agriculture and one is a cousin of agriculture, which is livestock agriculture and the slaughterhouses. And you have people that are working without proper protections. I grew up in California. I know the split opinion on Cesar Chavez, but also know that he was out there getting a lot of awareness on these people that were working unprotected in the fields around pesticides

Starting point is 01:25:51 and with the things that were happening out there to them. And so what do I see here? I see the math that they're saying, okay, there's a lower supply of workers, so now people have to raise the wage a little bit to attract the workers they need. Okay, that's just that's just basic economics. I see it. And I think that's so that math problem is correct. That is what happening. And there are people that are saying, hey, it's getting a little

Starting point is 01:26:17 too hot. It's getting a little too difficult here. I'm going to take the app. I can get my $1,000 on the app. Remember, they rebuilt the Biden app. They've kind of flipped it over correct and you can get you can get the opposite Yeah, the opposite so you say I'm I'm I have the app. I'm self identifying and Take me thousand bucks, and I'm going home. Okay, so I you know I But they're not even doing it for the money just just knowing my people, Pat. We don't do... Yeah, no, it's not for a thousand bucks. You can't get home for a thousand bucks. Are you saying you can buy a Mexican for money?

Starting point is 01:26:50 Like what kind of a... Is that what you're insinuating? No, no, no, no, no, no. I know it. No, not at all. I know it. But I think you gotta look back to Reagan and the proper amnesty programs. And when I say a proper amnesty program, a law-abiding citizen that has been here forever, I believe there should be

Starting point is 01:27:07 a path and a path to cure the status. It said, so what have you done? Well, I've been working here, I've been working there, I've been doing this. Because you also have to remember something, you know, a lot of these people are working on fake social security numbers with the complicit participation of the companies who know those people are probably not going

Starting point is 01:27:32 to see Social Security. Because at some point in time, they audit and flip it. And so I believe in long-term amnesty, but I also believe that we had a near-term invasion that was ridiculous. So now they don't deserve social securities now? Is that what he's saying? No, no, what I'm saying is if you use

Starting point is 01:27:52 a fake social security number and they audit and sweep the system later and says, so your name is what? My name is Jorge Ramos. Jorge Ramos, really? So you're not Irving Salzberg, 104 years old, from Newark, New Jersey. Okay, well, because that's who the Social Security number is

Starting point is 01:28:12 and they flip and they turn it off. No, the audit turns it off. So guess what, that person was staying quasi in the system and the money was going in until they audited and they shut it down. Where did that person's F fight go out of their paycheck? I don't know. You know what I like about the president?

Starting point is 01:28:27 Let me tell you what I like about the president. You have to freaking love the way this guy does what he does. Do you realize this is like a 180 that quickly because he listens to the people and says, okay, great, all right. Our great farmers and people at Hotel Leisure Business have been stating that our very aggressive policy, he's not saying our perfect policy, our very aggressive policy

Starting point is 01:28:50 on immigration is taking very good long-time workers away from them. Like he took a shot at himself. You know what I'm saying? But he's like, hey, people are saying, all right, cool, here's what we got to be doing, change. Hey, go, bub-ub. How quick. So I think the part if you're able to deliver a message in a very reasonable way, I would

Starting point is 01:29:08 add, if I was to do amnesty, I would say, okay, you're legal, but you have a 10% tax on top of everything else until you pay off $100,000 to the US government, $200,000, $300,000, and $500 hours of community, of community, or join the military depending on your age and where you're at. But there's got to be something that you give to, you have to speak English, you have to go through certain criteria and timelines. Some people don't agree with that because- Can I say something about that, Pat?

Starting point is 01:29:38 Let me tell you. As a dual citizen Mexican that also lived in Mexico that was raised by immigrant and legal parents, you give that, my dad's an American citizen now and so is my mother, okay? But have these been the times where they weren't? I promise you, I promise you, my dad would say, no problem. You want me to pay back $100? I promise you. I believe you.

Starting point is 01:30:01 My uncles would do it. You know why? Grandparents would do it. You know why? It's so funny you're saying this. So when I was interviewing Tommy Robinson, He says you know what said he says I wish our invasion was by Mexicans in UK He says because what do Mexicans do work they work we work he says the difference between the invasion that we have in UK is Those who come there 41% of them don't contribute to the economy right comparable to the average of 24.7 percent But when Mexicans come here, what did they do the next week? They're working. We work, you know, they're working

Starting point is 01:30:31 My grandmother gave birth. Yeah, so my dad Teresa. She was sewing the next day at the sewing factory I believe you I believe you well That reminds me of Jennifer Jennifer gave birth the next day. She was working. So that is a Jennifer You're part of that community. Well guys, breaking news. The poll numbers are out for Adam. Can we guess? Shoot it. Yeah, yeah, before you pull it up, let's guess. What do you think it is? What percentage want to see Adam go to Iran?

Starting point is 01:30:57 I'm going to stick with my original. I'm going to say 95%. What do you think it is? Tom, what do you think it is? 75. Ricky? I'm gonna say 90 percent. Okay, let's see it. Guys if it's over 95 percent, I'm going to it wrong. Let's see what we got. Oh 78 percent! They want me to stay. They love me. By the way, to the 22 percent.

Starting point is 01:31:16 Guys, can you do me a favor? To the 22 percent. Do you have 18 dollars to send a message to Adam and tell him you love him? Can you pull up the Manectaire? Manect Adam and tell him you love him? Can you pull up to him and act there? Manect Adam and tell him you love him for all the comments section. Like I swear to God, if I got $10 for each email I got about firing Adam or DM on Instagram or X, I would be financially well off right now.

Starting point is 01:31:40 Okay. Send him an act to Adam, give him some love. And if you're an angry Patriot, love him what Vinny's been saying today. Send him a message too. Oh, this is like a bad charity. Vinny as well. For $15 a day, you can keep Adam in Iran. You know who else is on Manect?

Starting point is 01:31:52 A guy named Ricky Aguilar. Yes sir. But I think on Manect, his name is Ricardo Aguilar. Yeah, Ricardo Aguilar. Ricardo, R-I-C-A-R-A-D-O, Aguilar. And if you Manect Vinny or Adam, ask him, can you give me Ricky's Manect? Rob, if you can put Ricky's Manect below.

Starting point is 01:32:07 For anybody that. Hey, your manager, she got me in trouble. She's like, hey, you need to reply faster to people. I'm like, oops, I didn't even know you guys had a mic. Ricky, anybody that knows you in real life knows that you're a living gangster in real life. Why you look so soft in your picture? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:32:21 Put your glasses. Hey guys, this is my Grindr profile. Ricardo. Ricardo. Hi, you guys. this is my grinder profile Ricardo This is on the weekends. He's a model for Warby Parker. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story I'm going economy Tom Tom. We want to know what's going on with the economy. I'm coming straight up to you right now So do I? All right entry level workers are losing confidence in the job market says glass door I applied to over

Starting point is 01:32:46 200 to 300 jobs CNBC. 200 to 300 jobs. They're having a hard time getting a job. So let me read this story and then Tom it's on you. Okay so here we go. Which one is it right there? Employee confidence dropped to 44.1% in May. The lowest since 2016 with entry-level workers particularly pessimistic at 44.1% in May, the lowest since 2016, with entry-level workers particularly pessimistic at 43.4% driven by economic uncertainty from potential tariffs and a 9% surge in layoffs missions on Glassdoor alongside a 47% increase in U.S. job cuts to 93,816 from 63,816 in prior mayor per challenger, Gray and Christmas. Catherine Deop, a 21-year-old University of California Irvine graduate, said, I applied

Starting point is 01:33:23 to over 200-300 jobs in event marketing without success, reflecting a tough job market for young graduates. Entry-level workers face limited opportunities due to low hiring environment with lead economists at Glassdoor. Daniel Zhao, stating it's hard for younger grads to get onto the career ladder in the first place as employers hesitate to open new roles. Zhao added that employees have less leverage to climb the ladder internally

Starting point is 01:33:53 and face increased competition from laid off, experienced workers, reduced promotion, and raised prospects for young workers starting their career. Tom. Well, I got two things to say about this. First of all, let's dive in to the source. This is Glassdoor and CNBC, right?

Starting point is 01:34:10 Neither of whom are capitalist lobbyists here. So they're not talking about the unemployment rate. They're talking about the feelings, feeling pessimistic. Okay, so unemployment's sitting right now at like 4.1 to 4.4, depending on the sector you look at. I think nationally we're 4.2. And people are saying entry-level workers are having a tough time finding their first job.

Starting point is 01:34:39 Okay, both of those things can be true. You're having a tough time finding your first job, and you're also, it's a 4.1, 4.2% unemployment rate, so it's not like everybody's out of work and there are no jobs. It's just no jobs, and what's very interesting, what I've been looking at, and I looked at this over the last month, I've been off and on diving into this,

Starting point is 01:35:03 and guess what? People that get degrees that point to nothing are having a tough time finding a job. I have a degree in art history and I'm having a tough time finding a job. Wow, what a surprise, right? I got a job in software engineering and I had my pick of two positions, entry level pay,

Starting point is 01:35:21 but two positions. Wow, what a surprise, you get a software job and you can find two jobs. And neither one of them are gonna pay you a million bucks a year, but it gets you off and running and gets you a career started. So that's what's going on here. And what you've got is CNBC is grabbing,

Starting point is 01:35:36 this is a click bait from CNBC, grabbing a couple stats, throwing it up there to say that everything's bad. But unemployment is 4.1 to 4.4% and people that have degrees in majors where jobs are are finding jobs. People that have liberal studies or studied English or whatever, not that those are bad majors, they're having a tough time finding jobs. By the way, what do they want? Let's also talk about this generation of people that feels increasingly entitled about the job that they expect to be given. So are there some things going on here? Yes. Is it dark and gloomy? No. Is it really hard to find

Starting point is 01:36:16 a job? Yes. Do you think maybe having internships and doing other things would help you out? Yes. And by the way here's what I got to say about this. Go on Chad GBT and type in a following word. Is job anxiety at an all-time high? Just type in is job anxiety at an all-time high? So you're telling me that you can't have a major in North African lesbian poetry and get a job? Well, if there's some lesbians in North Africa, they want to have you read to them and you can get over there. Maybe you could be their buddy. Consumer expectation of jobless is at a 10-year high. March 20, 25, 66% of US consumers expected unemployment to rise in the year ahead, high

Starting point is 01:36:54 since 2015. But look at the second one. Layoff anxiety in the great state. A January 20, 25 survey found that 81% of workers fear losing their jobs while 76% expect more layoffs. This has sparked a great state trend. Workers claim to current jobs despite poor satisfaction because they fear instability, burnout and stress surge.

Starting point is 01:37:14 Job burnout hit 66% in 2025. Around 75% of employees report low mood and there's a strong desire for mental health support. Anxiety is now the top mental health issue. Digital overload and extended work hours. Evening work emails and late night meetings, 16%, 63% of workers asked to shoulder more responsibilities, 2023. Sunday scaries and pre-work jitters. Wow, this is like scared. I'm reading this. I'm like, I'm having feelings. Pat, these are real things, but these are also feelings to be fair. But let's go look at two things in there. You and me. Let's look at that.

Starting point is 01:37:47 You're being asked to shoulder more responsibility and people are doing emails in the evening. Well, which is it? You think they're about to lay you off or they're giving you more responsibility and you've got an opportunity to show yourself. But hey, with the tariffs, with the market went up and down, you know, it is perfectly reasonable that people have these feelings, but the reality in the numbers The feelings don't match the numbers are Layoffs gone up in certain sectors yes, but the unemployment rates only four point one four point two No, it's crazy Tom. You know it's crazy all can be true one of the things that I look at so close

Starting point is 01:38:24 And by the way every time I say this people get oh my god. It's crazy, Tom, you know it's crazy. All can be true. One of the things that I look at so close, and by the way, every time I say this, people will get, oh my God, it's not true. When I look at resumes and I see one year at the last job, 16 months at the previous job, 18 months at the previous job, eight months at the previous job, 12 months at the previous job, 14 months at the previous job,

Starting point is 01:38:41 22 months at the previous job, two years at the previous job, one year at the previous job, six months at the previous job. two years at the previous job, one year at the previous job, six months at the previous job. I mean, I'm not hiring you for a six month job, okay? And if you remember during COVID, there was a podcast, I'd love for us to find it, where the podcast was about, you know, if you can leave your job right now and get a different job, I don't care what it is, leave and get another raise and get another raise and get another raise and get another raise and get another raise. That may have been the worst career advice given to people period.

Starting point is 01:39:09 Because you know when relationships get deeper? During good times or bad times? Bad times. Period. Marriage. When you go through some things you stick it out. That's right. Our relationship.

Starting point is 01:39:21 You know? Marriage. Business partnership. Yesterday's meeting Ricky. Yes Ricky, how would you rate that meeting? Zero to ten in intensity? It was intensity 15. It was a straight up meeting but how great of a meeting was it?

Starting point is 01:39:34 It was phenomenal. It was the best meeting. We needed it so bad. We needed it so bad. It was necessary pressure. How intense but quality and truth. How crazy is the announcement going to be on July 1st? It's going to be sick.

Starting point is 01:39:43 I'm excited for it. It's going to be wild. Me and Eric are talking about it on the way It's gonna be sick. I'm excited for it. Yeah, it's gonna be wild. We're fired up. Me and Eric are talking about it on the way to the hotel yesterday. We're super excited for it. It was a great meeting, but you know what it was? You're looking at everybody in the room

Starting point is 01:39:53 and I haven't called an emergency meeting for how long? The last time we did, I think we were, there was an SVP one, three years ago, maybe? Three years ago, yeah. 34 years ago was in Dallas, that we had a replacement. In Dallas, it was in Dallas. You remember that. But you know what it was when we were in the room

Starting point is 01:40:05 where you're looking at around everybody, there's a bunch of scars, wounds, shots, some made it past bombs and all this stuff in the industry as we're going through it. But relationships are building those times. If you're with a company long-term, you have the biggest leverage to be able to ask because you have social capital, you have relationship,

Starting point is 01:40:23 you know how the company works. This is a very, very good time for you to watch who in your company is putting their head down and improving. Those guys may be deserving your promotion or raise. And this is also a very good time for you to show the company that you are different than all your peers. Let everybody else panic. Let everybody else worry.

Starting point is 01:40:43 Let everybody else trash the company. Let everybody else go on TikTok and talk about how much you hate their job. And you stay solid. The future looks bright for people like you. Adam, you look like you wanna say something. Yeah, well, this article is very interesting to actually diagnose because the title of the article,

Starting point is 01:41:01 entry-level workers are losing confidence in the job market, says Glassdoor., quote unquote. This one particular applicant I applied to over 200 to 300 jobs to no avail. Well, maybe you're a loser, bro. You applied to 200 to 300 jobs and you can't get one. You're a loser. So do you know anybody that's applied to that many jobs and can't get a job? So maybe, so nobody's going to feel bad for these college graduates. Cause I remember when I graduated college was right after nine 11, pretty tough job market at that point. I remember people that graduated during the great recession in 2007, 2008, pretty tough job market at that time. People that graduated 2020, a pretty tough job market. So nobody

Starting point is 01:41:46 feels bad for you. College graduates graduating in 2025. Why? Because there's a little Trump trade war going on. Nobody feels bad for you. Ricky and Tom both basically, basically summed up what's going on. We're no longer living in the days. It's just because you graduate college you're automatically eligible for a job skills pay the bills degrees pay fees the cost of college has gone up rapper gang gang gang gang the cost of college God has gone up a thousand percent has your all way gone up at all I would I would I would estimate it's gone down but there's plenty of job openings in certain fields by the way can you give it to bright now on getting a job? Can we just give a basic tip

Starting point is 01:42:27 on getting a job right now? You're going out to market. Tom, you wrote a book, believe it or not, Tom wrote a book that was called The Rat Race, if I'm not mistaken. The Rat, the Race and the Cage. The Rat, the Race and the Cage, which is about getting a job and getting your career going, folks. Tom, watch us sell a thousand copies of the book right now. Go, Tom. Amazon calls you saying, hey. Tom, watch us sell a thousand copies of the book right now and Amazon calls you saying, hey. This is Tom's book, The Rat, The Race, and the Cage, a simple way to guarantee job satisfaction

Starting point is 01:42:51 and success, secular edition. This is almost 20 years ago. This man, Tom, was a professor at Biola and Pepperdine Adjunct Professor. Tom, if you're gonna give somebody a tip right now on getting a job, give three good tips. What would those three things be? Tip number one, three words, I'll do it.

Starting point is 01:43:09 Yeah, right? You know, tip number two is to walk in expecting to adapt to them, not them adapt to you. I want one really good one, Tom. Come on, Tom. Give me a life changing one. A life changing one? I wanna say hallelujah

Starting point is 01:43:25 Go ahead. No the third tip. I would say that somebody going in to find a job right now is to basically Go look at where the jobs really are and go look at what's out there and try to go solve a problem for somebody Solve a problem for somebody say I I'll do it, and adapt to the job, don't ask the job to adapt to you and your dog coming to work and Friday's off and all this other stuff that the generation seems to be entitled to have. Dude, whatever the job is, if it's a company

Starting point is 01:43:57 that's a, they're pollsters, they want somebody to go to Fordo, Iran to do a poll on how the people feel over there or going to God, go do it. Say yes to the job. I'll do it, I'm going there right now. I'll give you three words. Oh shoot, from the guy that. Give us the three words.

Starting point is 01:44:11 So for anybody that's out there for the job, I'll give you three words. Just get started. It doesn't matter where you start, it really matters where you end up in five, 10 years from now. I would argue that a job is meaningless. A career is what you wanna solve for.

Starting point is 01:44:24 Oh wow, that was good. Bing, bing, bing, bing. A career is what you want to solve for. Oh, wow. That was good. Bing, bing, bing, bing. A job is just a starting point. Okay. Nobody here is still working at the same job they started at when they graduated college, when they had that amazing 1.8 GPA, or when you were telling jokes, or when you were doing a vatos locos in Mexico, or when you were living in Canada, Tom. We all have different career paths. So just where you start does not mean where you'll end up. Get started, get experience, work in the office,

Starting point is 01:44:52 and have a mentor. I'm gonna ask Rob. And there you go. Rob, for you. Yes. Job market, okay? How much is your job anxiety right now? It's still pretty high, Pat.

Starting point is 01:45:04 He doesn't want to say it. I'm not being serious. It's difficult because job confidence, 100%. Job stability in this industry, it's tough. 50%. For your job right now? Yes. Okay. So tell me what tip would you give to somebody who is looking at succeeding in their jobs?

Starting point is 01:45:25 Because you've now been with us how many years? Four years. Four years. What tips would you give to people? Outwork, outlast, outstrategize. I mean that was simple. We're very aligned on those three things. I've learned from a good leader.

Starting point is 01:45:37 Yeah, we are on the same page. Notice how Rob left out, out, improve. No, I mean I understand what he's saying. We just made a big investment last week and we had Dale Carnegie come and talk to us about how to win friends and influence people all day. The real Dale Carnegie, he came in? Listen, the type of context that we have, bro,

Starting point is 01:45:54 we're not gonna open up a roller-coaster. We have access to dead people. The technology, we have something else. All right, let's talk about somebody that Adam's a big fan of. I'm gonna go to this next story here. Brittany Griner breaks silence on footage of angry moment versus fever.

Starting point is 01:46:08 And so for some of you guys, I wish you know the level of passion Adam has for this player like if you get Jersey, all of it. So she doesn't want you in some station. You want her to have WNBA. A 34 year old Atlanta Dream Center denied using racial slur in a viral clip from last month. Rob, maybe show the clip first and then let's go because I thought Outkick did a great job.

Starting point is 01:46:31 Whoever that guy from Outkick that did the interview, phenomenal. The way he was questioning it. Yeah, you have to hear how he does it. He did it the best. Denied using racial slur in a viral clip from last month's game against Indiana Fever where she asked, she was fouled out and caught ranting on the sideline, telling Outkik, reported down to her, no, I would never say that,

Starting point is 01:46:50 there's no place, you gotta watch that. But here's what she said, so watch this, watch it again. Effin' Wiker, first white trash and then effin'. Okay, so now Out out kick goes in interviews, Brittany, Rob, go ahead. I wish she had just left us in Russia, at least. We traded her for the merchant of death. Rob, I can't hear you.

Starting point is 01:47:16 I can't hear you, Rob. Something on the bench, it's hard to tell what you said. Can you tell us what you said? I remember falling out being mad. I remember falling out on,. I remember falling out on the leaves of a tower, driving to the basket, they set up with my hand in. But hey, you never really have to look in the shade and stuff. But what did you say?

Starting point is 01:47:35 I really can't remember what I said honestly. If I showed you the video, would that help? No, it wouldn't help. It wouldn't help? Then that's when you know. That's when you know. That's when you know he said what he said, if I showed you the video of exactly what you said, would that help? By the way, pause on this year, Adam, your

Starting point is 01:47:51 favorite player in the WNBA. What do you think about her saying what she said here? Well, she said it. I mean, you don't need to take a lip reader to say, to understand what she said. She basically was called an effing white girl. Now I'll tell you this. Do you think she said that? Yes. Do you think she meant it? Yes. So you might know this. I used to play a little ball. Okay. I have a little skills. Now if I forgot, you're in the WNBA. I can't tell Tom, let's let athletes talk. You just sit in your little mini race car out there and we'll circle back to you when you're ready if I could you know how you had a $10 for any time anyone said hey fire Adam if I had $10 for anybody time they said yo this puss ass white boy this crack ass white boy on the basketball court I'd be a gazillionaire right now but when

Starting point is 01:48:39 you play basketball which is he actually knows how to play no he's a baller no thank you truly he knows how to play actually you guys know what Adam I try to keep my compliments to one a year sometimes I make a mistake and I go two times but he's actually actually knows how to play well in the contract it's once every five years so thank you for that so yeah but oh we read it down that's it for 2025 that's part of what you do with. If you ask Caitlin Clark or Luca Donchich or your kids anyway, but you're going to know that they're going to say how many times has somebody called you a trash ass plus has white boy. The numbers are infinite. Now that's fair. That kind of goes with the territory, but you know, reverse racism is still racism. So Brittany Greiner, this apparently a woman,

Starting point is 01:49:27 is now out loud on camera, not owning up to the fact that she said what everybody says a million times and we all know it. So by the way, you know what's crazy? So check this out, Caitlin Clark. She's injured for two weeks. She leaves. Viewership drops 55%.

Starting point is 01:49:43 55%, yes, I saw that. From 1.81 million to 0.85 million. The moment she came back, viewership went back to the same. Immediate viewership went back to the same. By the way, Caitlin Clark effect, back in full fever, Liberty draws 2.2 million viewers. Do you know how crazy that is? By the way, just so you know, 2.2 million viewers. Do you know how crazy that is? By the way, just so you know, 2.2 million viewers in the NBA championship, it's six to eight million views a game. She's getting a third of it in the first half. Regular season. In the first half, she got 25 points in the

Starting point is 01:50:18 first half. She played lights out. Okay. She played like she ended up with 32 points, 25 points first half. And, and on the other side you watch these videos With Angel Reese she's literally throwing the ball off the backboard like honestly she must There's a part of me that wants to compliment her you know I take a lot of shots at Angel Reese I don't I don't want you to think the only thing I do is take shots at her I Don't think I don't think anyone in the NBA has the level of faith that Angel Reese has Because she goes in and she just throws the ball up She doesn't even care where she doesn't know where it's going

Starting point is 01:50:53 But the level of faith to have to believe that the ball is gonna go in I don't think anybody I mean she goes in and it's like And I just watch it's a moment of faith I have an emotional connection with God when I watch her play because you know you tell me you believe in God like Angel Reese does yeah, I don't know a lot of people that have her level of faith. You mean the Michael Jordan of WNBA Rob, can you just show highlights of her, you know? Yeah, you know at this point So, yeah. You know, at this point in the game.

Starting point is 01:51:24 There's a highlight of Angel Reese laying it up. It's like 50 times. No, you have to realize there is. Three points missing the three points. No, no, it's a layup, layup, lay. Is this it? Is this it? No, that's tempers flare.

Starting point is 01:51:35 No, not tempers fly. It's tempers flare. It's seriously you watching her. Angel Reese layup. Huh? It's Angel Reese misses so many shots. Just type in misses. Angel Reese misses. That's her twerking.

Starting point is 01:51:49 Yeah, it's her twerking. She's very good at that. She's very good at that. So if you see it, video, see if we got one. I mean, it's true. I think that might be it, Rob. Watch this. Go ahead.

Starting point is 01:52:00 Look at this. Not a care in the world. Look, look at this. Michael Jordan. Jordan! Jordan. No, no. Tell me Michael, that kind of faith. I don't have that kind of faith. One more. What is this kind of faith? Hold on. So much. I don't have trans trotters. Look, I am at a point right now where I'm wondering, okay, Adam's birthday is not coming up for another eight months, but I'm thinking about for Adam buying a wondering, Adam's birthday's not coming up for another eight months,

Starting point is 01:52:25 but I'm thinking about for Adam buying a courtside ticket to Caitlin Clark's game. You know what game I wouldn't mind going to? You know what game I wouldn't mind going to? When they face each other. Do you know why? Because there's one thing I love about sports. That's reason.

Starting point is 01:52:39 Animosity. Animosity. We had Ron Artes on a podcast, at Winamoral Peace last week. It was the funniest part. Can you pull up the funniest part? Ron artist on a podcast that went of a world peace last week. Yeah, it was the funniest part, right? Can you pull up the funniest part? We're doing a podcast Vinny. This is so funny It's me Adam and meta and we're sitting there and there's a moment where We're watching the malice at the palace Okay, and he's saying I it's like it wasn't even that tough of a foul him foul

Starting point is 01:53:02 Yeah, he says dude that wasn't that and I don't know why he got upset because a foul was a regular foul, okay? And we're going through it, and while I'm showing him this, Rob, do you remember this? Did you have the transcript to find it? You find it. Yeah, I'm finding it right now. Show it to him from a different angle

Starting point is 01:53:15 from the first time we ever saw. And I said, I show, Rob finds a clip. So we show it, and he goes like this. Oh shit, that's a flagrant. Right here. Watch this. Oh, is it? His reaction. It's not a flagrant or flagrant one foul.

Starting point is 01:53:28 Let me be. It's not, but it's not a flagrant two or flagrant one foul. Did they call a flagrant one on that or no? That was a, that was, you know, it could have been a flagrant, but, or could, that's a flagrant. Okay, that's a flagrant. Now I can see why I've been. He said, I never saw it from that angle. I didn't.

Starting point is 01:53:48 I never saw it from that angle. He's like, leave it, leave it out. Bam! Ben is like, what are you doing? Well, I'm calling out, that's a, that's a, that's a flagrant. Cause you didn't make a play for the ball. Well, I wanted to make a play just to grab them, but it was a weird angle. I don't know. Look at my eyes. Is that left hand? That's a flagrant. That's actually

Starting point is 01:54:09 20 years later. Oh, by the way, funny. It didn't do that. The podcast didn't get that much viewership. I had the time of my life talking to him. It was such a great conversation. As if he wasn't there, like he didn't do it. It was so cool. It was so cool having a conversation with him. But when I asked about Kaitlyn, he says, no, Kaitlyn Clark's a dog. She's from Indiana, she's a dog. She's built different, she's from Indiana.

Starting point is 01:54:36 He kept going like that. And I was showing the comparison about how, LeBron always flops and Kaitlyn gets back up and his relationship with LeBron, so he defended LeBron. But you and Kaitlin gets back up and his relationship with LeBron, so he defended LeBron, but you know. Anyways, if Angel Reese and Kaitlin Clark play, would you wanna go to the game? Court side.

Starting point is 01:54:51 100%, 100%. Would you actually wanna go to the game? Why don't you invite them to the podcast, both of them? Nuts, for both of them? Yes, at the same time. It would be Angel Reese. Add, add, add. No, do the podcast from court side.

Starting point is 01:55:04 So you put Angel Reese over here, you, add, Steve Smith. No, we'll do the podcast from courtside. So you put Angel Reese over here, you put Kaitlyn over here, and then you put Steve A. Smith right here. Ooh, that would be a good time. Why not? Can you show the other video of Brittany Greiner? The one, so two things, Pat. Here's my question.

Starting point is 01:55:16 Her injury, how much of Kaitlyn Clark's injury do you believe, I'm not saying that she wasn't injured, how much of it do you think that two weeks she was like, you know what, I'm not saying that she wasn't injured. How much of it do you think that two weeks, she was like, you know what? I'm gonna take an actual break. I'm gonna, that to me could have been a way for her to say, I'm gonna prove to all of you all this. She's not that dark.

Starting point is 01:55:34 She's not that dark. To like Adam, to like stretch it out to two weeks and just, and that's one question I wanna ask. And number two, and hey, I'm not taking personal shots. I'm just asking Adam a real genuine question Have you ever in your 40 some years of life on this planet have ever heard a woman a woman a female talk like this Listen to the do you remember what you said?

Starting point is 01:55:58 During that viral moment after you filed out against the Indiana fever a lot of people believe what you said was effing white girl or effing white girls Is it possible? That's what you said no would never say that like there's no place for that in our league So even though you can't remember you know that that was not what you know Okay, thank you very much It's insane I've never heard a female talk like that yeah, all right Her voice wasn't like that until her voice changed. Yeah, let's go to the next story. Let's go to next story So next story is about Dodger star Kershaw Clayton Kershaw

Starting point is 01:56:36 controversial message on pride theme hat divides fans divides fans, okay, not separate, but separate like divides fans. And here's what happened. Okay, L.A. Dodger Kershaw, a devout Christian, wrote Genesis 9-12-16 on his Pride theme hat during Saturday's game, referencing a Bible passage stating, this is a sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you for all future generations. I have set my bow in the cloud, claiming the rainbow symbolizes God's covenant, not an LGBTQ symbol. Sparking debate amongst fans, social media reactions were mixed with some praise in Kershaw's

Starting point is 01:57:20 stance and one other user writing, classy move by Kershaw, the rainbow he supports has nothing to do with Pride Month and another saying, courage to stand up for the truth. While critics argued the rainbow can have multiple meanings, why can't the rainbow mean both? And one stated, what a disappointment, urging him to stick to sports. Tom, should he shut up and dribble?

Starting point is 01:57:41 to stick to sports. Tom, should he shut up and dribble? Well, he plays baseball, so. It's a reference, Tom, I was just trying to. Okay. I didn't mean to disrespect my English. The rainbow has been appropriated by LGBTQ, and he's pointing out, rainbow means something different to me.

Starting point is 01:58:04 Rainbow means this in my faith. And this is a verse. And by the way, there's nothing anti about anybody on that. He's saying this is what the rainbow means to me. And that's all he's saying. And and I think he's pointing out is like the underlying message here is, hey, if you're going to appropriate it, it doesn't appropriate and then belong only to you.

Starting point is 01:58:26 It means different things to other people and this is what it means to me. And so he took a stand for his faith, but without coming out with statements of hate. So people got to make it into something, don't they? I like that. But Rob, can you do me a favor on the pole? Folks, be as honest as possible as if you would actually make the investment. Be straight up and just say, no, not interested, or yes. If we were to do a Future Looks Bright hat, okay?

Starting point is 01:59:00 If we were to do a Future Looks Bright hat with value taming and it's the rainbow color here and on the side of it we put Genesis 9, 12-16 and we actually wrote the scripture inside the hat, okay? And on the bottom here it says future looks bright. So again, you got the rainbow flag, Genesis 9, 12-16 on the side, and the scripture's in the middle. Would you actually wear it to create conversation with people to say, what does that really mean?

Starting point is 01:59:30 Wait, what's the symbol? Is it just our lion? So you got the Valuetainment Lion logo. Lion, I got you, I got you. Just like that. That's going to be something like this. The Valuetainment Lion logo. A rainbow.

Starting point is 01:59:39 Except it's a rainbow. Got you. Okay, just to be clear. On the side it says Genesis 9, 12 through 16. The entire Scripture is inside the hat. Would you wear it? Me? I mean, I'm just wondering what the audience is going to say.

Starting point is 01:59:49 Yeah, okay, that's the question. Okay. I would definitely rock it. So Vinnie, your thoughts. What do you think about what Clayton Kershaw did here? I absolutely love it. It's about time somebody in sports actually put God first instead of walking around scared of offending anybody, especially

Starting point is 02:00:06 this small little minority group that it's still, listen, say what you want, that whole LGBTQ, not the gays, just that whole thing, they're still hanging on to that little bit of power that they have, okay? We live in a country where, you know, guys can put all kind of nonsense on their jerseys, on their hats, and nobody says one thing. All the BLM, all that crap. But the second somebody brings up the Bible, everybody gets nervous. And that's the problem. This country was built on that book.

Starting point is 02:00:33 We are a Christian country. And these athletes make millions and millions playing a kids' game. Let's not forget, this is a kids' game on the greatest country on the earth. And Kershaw is showing where his blessings came from, and and I respect that I think we need more of that and not less of it. Just to give credit where credit's due the first athlete superstar that I saw do that was Tim Tebow. Oh 100%! By the way he left the league because of it if I'm mistaken or something like that but Tim Tebow. Adam your thoughts on this. He was the way he left the league because of it if I'm mistaken or something like that, but Tim Tebow Adam your thoughts on it was a main guy. Oh my god. So to me this just comes down to choice

Starting point is 02:01:12 You know if the teams are Basically celebrating a pride month. That's fine. The team made that decision But each player should be able to decide whether they want to stand for that or not The fact that you're forcing players to celebrate pride month when they're clearly straight doesn't mean that they're anti-gay. That just means that's something that they want to stand up for. That's fine. Just like how some people like Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the American flag. That was his choice. Don't agree with it, but that was his choice. It was also everybody else's choice to not kneel. Just like during the bubble in the NBA, if you wanted to wear a social justice slogan, go for it. If you wanted to not wear it, go for it. The one guy who basically became famous

Starting point is 02:01:57 in the NBA for not kneeling and doing the whole bowing the knee for the BLM was a black guy named Jonathan Isaac for the Orlando Magic. The guy made headlines for just saying, no, I love America. I don't think America's racist. I love being here. And that's my choice. But when you're, when you're giving mandates, almost like a COVID Vax, that's where people have an option. So everybody's kneeling. Black lives matter. Here's a black live. Jonathan Isaac who said, no, I love America. I'm not going to nail. So when you're getting into force, when you're getting into mandates, when you get into basic saying, you have to do this is where you have a problem. If Clayton

Starting point is 02:02:32 Kershaw or whoever it is wants to rock the LGBTQ, I'll go for it. If you don't go for it, but that doesn't mean that you're racist. It doesn't mean that you're anti-gay. It just means you stand for what you stand for. And that's how I feel. Yeah, so in other words, you know, by the way, and I think in the side it could say, take back the rainbow. Or, taste the rainbow.

Starting point is 02:02:56 We got here, you got the value tainment, you got take back the rainbow, you got Genesis 9, 12 through 16. That would be interesting. PBD, just imagine. You know what would happen? That's a conversation star. I love it.

Starting point is 02:03:06 Hey, hey, oh my God. Wait, what the hell is that? Let me talk to you about Jesus Christ. No, no, you tricky son of a bitch. At what point will people actually get a little frustrated? Because June is Pride Month, yes? You've covered this a million times. But imagine if every sports team said, you know, it's not just pride month that we're going to celebrate all of Jude the entire month, you know, mother's

Starting point is 02:03:28 day gets one day father's day gets one day. We're going to celebrate in October national coming out day in March is transgender day of visibility that might replace Easter international day against homophobia transgender day of remembrance. How many different holidays are there that they're going to implement? They're saying they don't have to celebrate them to have enough days. You want them to have more days. I want gay uncle day every day. So let me go to the next story here.

Starting point is 02:03:49 Keep, clip that, folk. You can clip that and put it up there because it's official. We know the truth about this guy. All right, Bill Maher. Roast Sean Penn for meeting with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, but not with Trump. Now Sean Penn, my opinion, one of the greatest actors of all time, I watch him in Mystic River.

Starting point is 02:04:09 It was insane how incredible he was in that movie. But watch him here with Bill Maher talking about even if he got an invitation from Trump, whether he would take it or not. Go for it. I would not accept an invitation, is because I see no, so it's a long flight I see no really you mean I don't throw into gosh I bet but not the president had state

Starting point is 02:04:35 yeah I saw good results come out of some of those things in terms of that I had I don't think that there's anything that I would, I just personally wouldn't trust anything that was said in the room, including the personality. It's not a matter of trusting it. It's a matter of seeing it. A matter of experiencing it, a matter of knowing it. Yeah, it's an interesting.

Starting point is 02:05:00 More than all, it's like saying, I don't want this medical test, because I don't wanna know. I because I don't want to know. I want to know. Yeah, fair enough. OK. Fair enough. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:05:09 I mean, I have some good friends that are on the team. I said this many times within the piece when I did it, that it's up to you. I'm just giving you the report. It's up to you to make the decision. Who do you think is the real guy? I'm telling you, there's a very different guy behind closed doors in a different setting Any thoughts no, I just I mean and and that's the remember we were talking about the propaganda

Starting point is 02:05:34 This is this is it full set like you can't even sit in a room and talk with somebody for a bill Maher Pat Bill of all People for Bill Maher to be schooling him I think that just shows like what that side's mentality is. And I think that's, go ahead, Rick. Well, let's not forget that he also met with El Chapo. Yes, he did. That's true.

Starting point is 02:05:53 That's right. That's right. Yeah, you're right. So you're willing to meet with the guy that poisons millions of people, but you're not willing to meet with the sitting president? That's wild. Yeah. But when he met with El Chapo, they also claimed that that was the way that he got caught.

Starting point is 02:06:07 So he almost helped them catch El Chapo. I don't know if you remember that. Yeah, but the reality is that there's a lot of things, they wanted to blame her, but the reality is, Pat, that he met El Chapo. But the reality is that Chapo's family comes up to see him all the time. They could attract his family at any time. It's not just Sean Penn. They could attract the family coming up from Culiacan to where he was at in the mounds. I mean, at any point in time they were going to, it was not there. But the point is, look, there he is meeting with the Chappell,

Starting point is 02:06:35 but he won't meet with the president. Just the hypocrisy of the left is wild. Now he's freaking libtards. Tom, your thoughts? You know, I'll give you my thoughts and I'll go back to Bill Maher when you're willing to go sit in a room with someone you don't think you're going to agree with or someone who has a well-known opinion and engage in debate. We are taking America back to where my grandfather and my father went when they would go to the barbershop and have a civil conversation with their neighbors about people and about politics and things maybe they didn't agree with and Bill Maher is saying he went to the White House he sat down and

Starting point is 02:07:13 talked with him and came away with a different perception and he's not pro Trump but he does sit there and say objectively I'm telling you there's a different guy behind closed doors, and I went there Why don't you go there for the experience of it? We need more Bill Maher willing to come across and have the dialogue and I give I Tipped my hat to Bill Maher for that and what he's done. You know go sit down and talk to the other side You know something may be learned something may exposed, some perspective may be gained. Go get it.

Starting point is 02:07:47 So Tom, and Vinny, question for you guys. Would you meet with... Gavin Newsom? I'd go meet with Gavin Newsom. Would you meet with Bernie Sanders? Would I meet with Bernie Sanders? Yes, I would. I would love this.

Starting point is 02:08:01 Would you meet with Putin? 100%. Would you meet with Xi? Yes. Would you meet with Netanyahu%. Would you meet with Xi? Yes. Would you meet with Netanyahu? Yeah. Security, I mean obviously security. Everything is secure safe.

Starting point is 02:08:09 100%. Is there anybody you wouldn't meet with? Would you meet with the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un? All of them. I would love to meet with. To have a conversation. I don't think there's anybody out there that I wouldn't meet with. Vinny, you're on record saying you would not meet with Gavin Newsom

Starting point is 02:08:25 Don't make me roll the tape. I said pot Oh podcasting and stupid stuff like that to give him a platform to make him look good I would so it's just it's just in front of a camera just sitting on have a conversation Either way just sit down with them is it was a safe environment anybody you wouldn't meet with Kamala I want to meet with Kamala you wouldn't know what if it's dinner no What if it's good Mexican food? No, what if it meet with Kamala. What if it's dinner? No. What if it's good Mexican food? No. What if it's doing shots of like some-

Starting point is 02:08:47 What if it's dinner and drinks? I mean with Biden because I really think that he wasn't running shit. I think he realizes they were using his auto pin for everything. So you wouldn't meet with Kamala? No. Do you have anybody you wouldn't meet with?

Starting point is 02:08:58 Actually think about it. Tom, was there anybody you wouldn't meet with? You may not want to meet with Aaron Judge. As a Dodgers fan, I know how much you don't like, you hate the Yankees. Is there anybody you wouldn't meet with? Like, you may not want to meet with Aaron Judge. As a Dodgers fan, I know how much you don't like, you hate the Yankees. Is there anybody you wouldn't meet with? No, as long as it was a safe location. I mean, I'm not gonna go into...

Starting point is 02:09:14 I said the criteria is they're very safe. I'm gonna personally make sure the security is good. Yeah, there's nobody I wouldn't meet with. Now, would I... The order of which and who I would go meet with in my priorities be very, very different. I don't understand like why would you say you wouldn't meet with frickin the president who was no no I said I would I meet with anybody. Yeah, but the list of people

Starting point is 02:09:36 that I have, you know, I wouldn't have Kamala at the top. I'll tell you that. Well, I think I think Trump deserves a little bit of credit because if there's anybody that Trump's not willing to sit down with, I can't find them on the list. Trump will go to North Korea. Nobody does that. Trump will go to talk to North Korea. He did.

Starting point is 02:09:53 He was the only American president to ever sit down with a North Korean president. So you don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies. The Hollywood hypocrisy coming out of the left is just so absurd. You'll sit down with Hugo Chavez, who basically is the dictator, former dictator of Venezuela. You'll sit down with this drug dealer. You'll sit down with Castro, you'll sit down with Marxists, you'll sit down with communists,

Starting point is 02:10:15 you'll sit down with socialists, but you won't sit down with the president of the United States? Makes no sense, it makes no sense. But that's why you understand that the Hollywood hypocrisy is as real as it gets. But TDS is even more real than that. Let's go to this other one to see if there's such thing as an EDS, okay?

Starting point is 02:10:32 Because maybe there was, but it doesn't seem like there is today. Republican interest for Musk calls after his feud with Trump new poll finds New York Post. Tech billionaire Elon Musk's favorability among Republicans has declined since his feud with Trump with an APNORC Center for Public Affairs research poll showing that the share of Republicans viewed Musk very favorably dropping from 38% in April to 26% after Musk criticized Trump's tax and spending legislation, calling it a disgusting abomination.

Starting point is 02:11:02 Katia Long, a 34-year-old automotive component factory employee from Woodstock, Alabama said, some things have happened lately that have changed how I feel about him a little. I liked what he was doing when he was helping, but now I feel like he's kind of hurting, is what she said. Somewhat favorable. Musk clashed with Trump, which included claiming X without me. Trump would have lost the election. Dems would have controlled the House, and Republicans would be 51-49, and alleging without

Starting point is 02:11:30 evidence, Trump ties to all this other stuff. So what do you think happened there? Do you think that is a factual, like do you believe this dropping from 38% favorability to 26% in June? I know it differs for me, Pat, as a Trump supporter. For you? Tell me why. Not so much them having a falling out because that happens but then you go in

Starting point is 02:11:52 talking about Epstein List and basically saying he's a pedophile you went too far like one thing is us having a disagreement a whole other thing is you trying to demolish my my character, you can't be trusted. I grew up in the streets, I grew up in the hood. You know what I mean? And I have enemies that I, I don't have enemies anymore, but when I was younger, I had enemies that I respected because they wouldn't cross the line.

Starting point is 02:12:14 And there's a line that you just don't cross, even with enemies. Like I'll tell you, let me give you a hood rule. You don't call even an enemy, you don't call him a rat or a snitch, unless you got paperwork on him. But you don't, you don't, you don't call even an enemy. You don't call them a rat or a snitch unless you got paperwork on them, but you don't, you don't even there's just boundaries. You just don't cross. And I think that he crossed that boundary when, when he was saying, Hey, the Epstein list, like you went really far. And at that point, like at that point I lost my interest in, and you know, I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, how

Starting point is 02:12:42 much I, I'm team Trump. Like it is what it is, you know, not what everything that he does, but for the majority of the part, 90% of the time. And, uh, and with me, I'm like, and by the way, my wife's on the next room, she straight up said, fuck Ilan, like straight up, you know, and us, we're both very, you don't want to piss Eric off, bro. I know that she's a Mexican for me. You know, she's a, she's a Mexican. I piss Ricky off all day, every day. Not Eric. She's a Mexican for me to a con, you know, she's a she's a Mexican. I piss Ricky off all day every day. Not Eric. She's a silent killer.

Starting point is 02:13:07 Leave the shank. Don't bring it. Yeah, but no, but that's that's that's our so we talked about this and our sentiment is that so I could I can believe that people have that. How about you, Adam? Are you I agree with Ricky and I'll tell you the exact point where I think Elon lost credibility. It was the second that he deleted the tweet. Because if you're going to say some foul ass stuff, you leave that thing up there. Again, as if we're just going

Starting point is 02:13:31 to forget that he tweeted that Trump was hanging out on Epstein Island and he was on the list. Oh, did anyone not forget that? Everyone remembers that. So the, so he appears to delete the ex. Exactly. The tweet didn't do it for you, Adam? No. It was that he brought it down like he didn't stick to his gun? So two things.

Starting point is 02:13:47 When he tweeted that, I was like, oh, that is some foul, nasty stuff. We did an emergency podcast and I called him out. I said, that's weak. But then if you're going to make that claim, yo, stay with your chest. Double down on it. When you delete it, you automatically look weak. You automatically look. But all the way, hold on Tom, the way

Starting point is 02:14:06 that Trump handled it, the way that Trump handled it, you come back, was completely measured and probably the most respectful way I've ever seen Trump ever deal with any sort of backlash. She's like, well, look, you know, Elon is a nice guy. I think he's wrong and, uh, you know, I feel bad for Elon. He for Elon, he's maybe eyes on drugs, I don't know. But he just kinda backed out of that, and we haven't heard anything about the Trump-Elon situation. In a minute I'm gonna show you Elon's most recent physical.

Starting point is 02:14:34 I want you to see what he was on, what he wasn't on. Go ahead, Tom. So I kinda look at it this way. Ricky, let's say we go back 20 years, okay, and I Post something an early Facebook and we both went out when I Got a little tipsy and I sent kind of a nasty post on you and the next day you call up you go dude At 2 a.m. You posted something on Facebook. What the hell and I'm like, oh Wow, Ricky, man. I was a little drunk at time. You know what? No, no, no, I'm not taking it down

Starting point is 02:15:12 I'm sticking to my god Like that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's,. He shouldn't have done that. So he tried him. Of course he shouldn't have done that. Okay. But the, but the, but you don't take it down. You go, dude, man, I'm sorry. I just called you a pedophile. Nobody. Yes. It's so stupid to begin with, but by the way that shows his character. But here's the question, Tom. The question is, are you assuming he was drunk or on drugs? Cause that analogy, you have to qualify that he was on drugs. So yeah, I'm not accusing him. No one knows what he was or wasn't. But it was late at night and it was rapid fire. So we can say that he was emotional and upset. I think we can say that pretty objectively. If you were to say, you know, plus minus on, you know, him being drunk or being on drugs,

Starting point is 02:16:24 what would you put him when that tweet came out? I'll put zero on zero on drunk and maybe 30% chance ketamine or something. Well, here's a very emotional- Maybe it's a good time to use your bong noise now, Tom. Don't do it. You know, it's really, really late when he did it and it was rapid fire, two or three of them.

Starting point is 02:16:40 So here's his physical. So he got so pissed. We've had friends that did this. We see the behaviors. Go back to the tweet on what he said. Tom, make the noise. here's his physical so so he got so we've had friends that did this we see the go back Rob to the tweet on what he said noise. Here's his physical. Okay, Elon Musk fires, but please don't do it I'm not on drugs later light their ass off Elon dropped his own drug test on X negative for ketamine coke ecstasy amphetamines the works This afternoon New York Times wrote a whopper of a lie article that he was pill popping through White House meetings

Starting point is 02:17:05 While advising Trump. Okay, go a little bit lower. Let's take a look at this Physical can you put up the physical run zoom in a little bit? No drugs found so you got what? amphetamines ecstasy negative negative negative cocaine ketamine methadone Opiates, PCP, nothing. Validity normal, valerian creatine, sugar normal. Not even creatine. Wow. Can you make one of these charts on Chagy BT?

Starting point is 02:17:34 Yeah. We know that this is for sure. Well, yep. I guess case solved. Elon Musk that owns Gronk and AI companies can't put together a fake drug test. All right. Buddy, if you want a fake drug test, I'll if you want a fake drug test, I'll send you down to 20 people I know in Miami. You don't think that Elon Musk can figure this out in two seconds? Stop it. Do you believe this?

Starting point is 02:17:52 I don't know. Do you believe this? I don't know. Shakespeare said, I think you protest too much. My thing is this, that whole situation, because you asked, I didn't get to get to it. You want a fake drug test, I'll get you a fake trust test in 20 minutes.

Starting point is 02:18:03 In three minutes. You want to pass that test, if you really definitely doesn't do you're saying you don't believe this I'm just saying if Elon Musk wanted to get a fake drug test. He's the richest man in the world I mean was the doctor that he just basically puts on blast Jennifer Taylor. What's her name? I think just roll in a little bit And then I'm gonna could see your name if I allegedly got punched in the face by a gay guy that wears glasses I'm gonna be smoking cannabinoids. What is it cannabinoids? I began I'd be getting high just to being able to deal with it But I was a doctor's name. I've been a lot of rumors, but I don't know you just you you you saying something like that, bro

Starting point is 02:18:39 There's no coming back Jennifer Taylor. There she is Let's have a conversation right like you something like that happens It's listen even if you apologize and I you, and I can still hang out with you You're never going to get that level ever again. This happened to me yesterday Oh seriously a situation like this happened yesterday. We're stuck. Okay. I got it. I'm out. Oh really I get it I get what happens where for you there's certain things you don't do where you lose a Trump You have a Trump type of guy in your life and

Starting point is 02:19:12 Then all of a sudden you do this you see the part that you can never forget. Do you remember when? Trump is running the RNC. He begs he asks Not begs asks Dana why to come to his event Yes, okay, Dana. to come to his event. Okay? Dana White comes to the event and speaks. And you know what most people didn't know about? He was on a trip, on a yacht, a couple million dollars in Italy with his family, had to get a jet, had to get away for two or three days just to come.

Starting point is 02:19:41 You know why? Because he never forgot what Trump did for him 20-something years ago when nobody would allow him to fight anyplace. He allowed him to have his fights at his place in Jersey. Who's the character there? Dana or Trump? Who gets the credit for the character that 20-something years later? Dana. 20-something years later he's still grateful for what happened. He's like, my loyalty is this guy changed my life, right? There are certain things you don't do, but in this case with Trump and Musk, by the way, there are some people that side with Musk. If you've seen that poll, that poll shows 3826. There's some people that still say, I'm with Musk, not with Trump. You know, it's a back and forth.

Starting point is 02:20:17 Look, what I did get from this last exchange is, allegedly, Adam claims he knows people in Miami that can give you, you know, a drug test. So I don't know if that's worthy of a Manecte or not, but here's what I can tell you. If you can pull up the Manecte questions, there is Ricky's QR code, okay? If you like what Ricky had to say, you don't like what Ricky had to say. Ask him questions, okay? Let's see how quickly Ricky's gonna get back. And there's a good looking guy in the top right as well, Tom Ellsworth.

Starting point is 02:20:46 Pretty smart guy. Married but pretty smart guy, but you can ask him any questions you want. Let's give a shout out to the guy in the top left. I heard he's hurting for cash. You know, 200 million, ain't what it used to be, guys. We gotta get that guy a couple bucks. It's only 100 bucks for him next.
