for someone who's a big fan of the PBD podcast, Vali Tainment, who's also optimistic that believes the future looks bright. Having said that, let's get right into it. Okay. Rob, which story? is the story that the audience wants us to go to first. The Supreme Court $3 trillion unwind for the tariff. And what pages that one on?

Supreme Court Unwined, Tom. What pages the tariff on there is? This is the tariff story? Yeah, this is the tariff story that we're talking. Okay, there it is. Trump warned Supreme Court tariff ruling could trigger $3 trillion unwind. By the way, this would be the dumbest thing they ever do, okay? ever do. If they pulled this off, it'll be the dumbest thing that they could ever do if they

pass this thing. President issues a warning on Monday on truth, social claimant that the U.S. Supreme Court received the wrong numbers in pending case that challenges authority to impose tariffs under emergency powers. Trump said an adverse decision could lead to an economic unwind exceeding $3 trillion, calling it an insurmountable national security event that would be devastating to the future of our country, possibly non-sustainable. The high court is set to review whether Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to levy tariffs on imported goods without the additional congressional approval was lawful of ruling against Trump could require the government to refund billions of dollars in duties collected since 2024,

potentially reshaping, can you turn off your phone, guys, U.S. trade policy and testing the limits of the presidential economic authority, according to Treasury data reviewed by Fox business, the U.S. collected more than $213 billion in tariffs revenue through late September 2025. including record monthly totals of more than $31 billion in August and more than $31 billion in September. Earlier in the year, revenues range from $17.4 billion to $29 billion in July. Is this the president talking about, Rob? Yes, this is actually USA Today covering the story.

Go for it. U.S. President Donald Trump is warning of an economic and national security disaster if the Supreme Court overturns his use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on nearly every country. Speaking Monday, Trump claimed the tariffs have generated trillions in tariff and investment income. The numbers were reported so incorrectly. The real numbers are trillions of dollars have been taken in or gotten in terms of investment from the tariffs. Trump had previously floated the idea of using tariff revenues to pay for what he calls a dividend to lower earning Americans and repeated his plans on Monday.

We're going to issue a dividend. Let him finish this part. to our middle income people and lower income people about $2,000 and we're going to use the remaining tariffs to lower our debt. During last week's world.

So Tom, talking about this tariffs, one, we talked about this last week. Can they do it? Obviously, they have Supreme Court control right now, which is what, 6.3, even if he loses, what's her name, Barrett, Coney Barrett,

even if she goes against him, that's still 5'4, so he has the control still. But the reality of it is the fact that this is a topic of discussion they're discussing. I have a few ideas here, but I'm going to go to you first. Tom, go for it. So here's what I see. Can you guys hear me? Yes.

Because I can't hear me. Here's what I see. The Supreme Court could come back and say, hey, you don't have the authority under AIPA, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. However, a good Congress would say, but are the tariffs working? Did we get some negotiation? do we get some results here? Hang on a second. Let's keep this. That's how a functioning non-militant government would work, but that's not what we have right now. We have a very militant Congress that has

a huge block of Democrats that are like, no matter what, get Trump out, hurt Trump, and they really don't care about the economy. So there is a group in there that unwinding it to create such economic calamity just to grab more seats and power at the midterms coming up in, you know, 11 months in two weeks, they would do it. But unwindingness would be horrible. And Trump's comment about unwinding it is true. Companies have come back and said, hey, you know what? Thanks to the tariffs. Things have changed. Economics have changed. We're going to event, just this year it was $1.5 billion. We're going to invest in the U.S. to bring jobs and stuff back. Well, that's because of the tariffs and the other countries playing nice. And if you unwinded,

it, the other countries can go back and say, well, that was easy. His own Congress just screwed him over, and they're using the Supreme Court decision. So guess what? We can go back to playing like we used to under Biden. That would be bad. That would be really bad. Not only would it be bad, you know, the amount of success we've had with this, to take it back to we get only $80 billion of revenue every year from tariffs. It's the income we got. We didn't get a lot of revenue from tariffs. Now we are $300 billion in tariffs, potentially $400 billion trajectory, the way it's going, and then it could lead into a half a trillion dollars per year. Over 10 years could be $5 trillion of revenue coming in, not including all the other people

that are being forced to invest in. That's the chart, which we've looked at many times. But I will tell you what I think the president was doing. The president was playing chess with these guys when he said, I'm going to give $2,000 income to the people that are low-income earners on the tariff side. And you know what that does? So imagine he knows. if it even gets close to them pushing for this not to happen

he's going to go to the low income and middle income and say they just took a couple thousand dollars away from you that's yours they took that away from you all the taxes they did they took that away from you and how do you feel about it so he's cornering them I'm 80% if I were to go to Calci and do a what do you call it whether this is open a market if we were to go open up a market open a market on what we think this is going to do with tariffs

passing or not, I would be very optimistic about going through. Like I said, it's the dumbest thing if they don't do this, Brandon. Yeah, this is the hill to die on. And the law is a funny thing, the way that you interpret the law. I don't even think that they have the grounds to do this because everybody's looking at tariffs as an economic issue, but no, it's a national security issue. And that's what the Constitution says that from an economic standpoint, it's in the power of Congress to decide what happens with tariffs. But if it's a matter of national security, then it's the president. And every single thing he's doing

with tariffs is a matter of national security. It's not just the $300 billion that he's taken in. It's the trillions that he's been able to negotiate and get people to invest. And that's the main lever he's using for any... I'll back the national security part. So if we can't threaten countries with tariffs, we have to use another method.

And it might be a weaker method. It might be a riskier, more dangerous method. So you could really make anything about national security. Like think about all the things the CIA classifies under a matter of national security. You know, a lot of things like probably aren't even a matter of national security, but they could say it because it's like very vague and broad. So I think that even if they did try to do this, you know, there was a president

one time that said when the Supreme Court ruled against him. He's like, all right, let them enforce it. Go ahead. You know, and it's not like the Roe v. Wade type of issue when the Democrats were mad about that. That's like a social issue. But this one, it's like let the court enforce it if they try to do this. I don't think they will. But if they do, I don't think he's going to listen to them. And things like chips, rare earth, and magnets are national security. I agree. But this to me, if it doesn't pass, it's number one catastrophic thing if it doesn't pass.

If they stop him. I don't think you listen. I don't think he can. No, how do they enforce it, though? It's a court. What do you mean how to do? Supreme Court? Do they have an army?

No, no, no. You can't go. It's not how this works. He won't do that. He needs them. He needs them because the amount of credibility if he didn't listen to them, 2028 is a lock.

Newsom's your president. A matter of national security, though. If I'm running against him, I'm going to tell him, the guy is completely against the Constitution, has no respect for George Washington, no respect for Thomas Jefferson, no respect for Benjamin Rush.

I would go straight there and they would play that all day long. And it would say, if he's going to break the Constitution, what else is he capable of doing? Now it validates their no king's kings to say that that's where it goes to. It's the slippery slope.

I just think the way he's doing it is the right way. And like I said, I'm less than 10% that they don't do it, that they get in the way of this. Yeah. Less than 10. 90% is that's a done deal. And I'm hoping he keeps, oh, they have this already. Will the Supreme Court rule favor in the Trump's saying? What are they saying 25% chance?

It will, is what they're saying? That's correct. Will they read? Only 25%. So 75% they won't? Yes. They won't reverse Trump's decision, you're saying. No, no, no.

Explain to me, because I'm about to put some money on. Rob, did you just post this right now yourself? No, no. I just Googled and found this through Kalshi. So 25% of people believe the Supreme Court will rule in favor of Trump. So the other 75% against Trump. Like it's not going to go. But there's not a lot of crowd on that.

Zero activity. It's zero volume. So it's not like there's anyone involved in it for this to have any credibility right now. Here's what the Speaker of the House could do. In one sentence. Ladies and gentlemen, if the Supreme Court says that certain tariffs here are not national security protected by IEPA, then we'll take a resolution up here in Congress to maintain the tariffs as issued. Bang, goes the gavel.

That's all the speaker has to do. Now, he's got to get 60 percent, but now he would be putting the vote on the back of Congress. Do you see that, Pat? You know what? Let's just take a vote and keep it. And now, okay, Chuck Schumer, gather up all the – gather up all your buddies. in the house over there across the hallway

and say no. Say no the American people. Do it. Do it. Right. Yeah. Where is Mike Johnson? He was best friends of Trump at first when he first got in, but I've heard a lot from him. Isn't that? That's the only thing that Johnson would have to do. Yeah. Okay, if the Supreme Court says some of this is not national security, the ones are national security,

we leave them alone. The other ones, we vote. No problem. I'm just confused. There's nine Supreme Court justices, six of them are conservative, right? so what do you think that they're trying to talk to the conservative ones of the democrats and saying hey just trust us let's screw him over he's like what i don't understand the logic in trying to destroy what this guy is building and i get it they hate trump everything's anti-trump like that's the logic that's unbelievable but people mainstream media is not telling these people nothing it's just it's just all feelings well it all comes down ever yeah exactly it all comes down to what the law quote unquote allows right so i was watching this debate on uh for Zakaria, there was a Harvard law professor who specializes in tariffs at which he called, quote, unquote, regulating imports, which are just tariffs. And then there was a Justice Department advocate over there, basically debating. And it's all legalese. It's all law. You know, you said how lawyers are rooting America. They're hanging out and play in a playgrounds just looking for kids that slip and fall and hurt themselves and then sue people. It's all legal stuff, which is beyond what basically are understanding. But PPD made a good point. Trump's either a fascist. And he doesn't listen to anybody and he just kind of does what he wants or he actually has to abide by the rulings of the law.

And the Supreme Court ruling, whether they like it or not, is going to get in their way. This is the whole premise of America of checks and balances and the executive and the judicial and the legislative. And the whole part with the legislative when Trump announced Liberation Day, which was what in April, I believe. This has all sort of been culminating since then. So if he is a fascist, then he has to go through. through this. The big issue that I have a problem with, the big, big issue is enough with the printing money and just giving people money. This $2,000, quote-unquote, dividend. So how many, how many people are going to qualify this? A hundred million people, at least? I would like

him to keep it as low as possible as 10 million people. I don't even want anybody get this freaking money. Because if 100 million people get $200,000, that's $200 billion just giving to people. Let me tell you how this works. Of course, I don't want anybody to get any kind of entitlement money. but if it came out of his mouth and he doesn't keep it, then you're playing games. It came out of his mouth. He already said it.

He has to do something. Now, if you do it only for 5 million people, 10 million people, 20 million people, there's got to be something that goes to a certain percentage of people to say we came through. But who are those people? I don't know.

All I'm saying is, if it came out of his mouth, he has to keep it. Let's give it to the families with kids, take care of them, the working families. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story. Rob, can you go to the, interview with Laura Ingram

and President Trump is this the one about the H-1B visa about the schools, students going to China 600,000, 300,000, is that the one, rocks? Okay, so watch, because this has created a lot of conversation about the H-1B visa. It's every other channel they're talking about this. Go ahead and play

this little prop. There's never going to be a country like what we have right now. The Republicans have to talk about it. And does that mean the H-1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration? Because if you want to raise wages, for American workers, you can't flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers. But you also do have to bring in talent.

Well, we have plenty of talented people here. No, you don't. No, you don't. We don't have talented people here. No, you don't have certain talents and you have to, people have to learn. You can't take people off an unemployment, like an unemployment line and say, I'm going to put you into a factory who are going to make missiles, or I'm going to put people. How did we ever do it before? Well, let me just, I'll give you an example in Georgia. they raided because they wanted illegal immigrants out. They had people from South Korea that made batteries all their lives. You know, making batteries are very complicated. It's not an easy thing. It's very dangerous, a lot of explosions, a lot of problems.

They had like five or six hundred people early stages to make batteries and to teach people how to do it. Well, they wanted them to get out of the country. You're going to need that, Laura. I mean, I know you and I disagree on this. you can't just say a country's coming in, going to invest $10 billion to build a plant and going to take people off an unemployment line who haven't worked in five years and they're going to start making missiles. It doesn't work that way.

Adam. Adam, thoughts. So, number one, I haven't thought of Laura Ingramon. When's the last time we said her name on the show? With somebody we don't talk about. We haven't. But by the way, I thought she did a great job with the interview. NFI, a very weird thing I'm about to say.

This is the best I've seen her in yours. So I don't know what she's doing. She looked great in this interview. That's literally what I was about to say. Really? I love her. Yeah. I'm being serious.

Collectively. I'm not even a fan. I'm not even a fan. I'm just telling you. Once is the last one we've mentioned her name on the podcast. I don't think. We've talked Jesse. We've talked.

We've talked Hannity. We've talked Brett Baer, the whole deal. Laura Ingram, respect to you. I haven't watched your show that's not, it's not like an Ingram person. But this is her first time that I've seen her on the national scene. And she held her own. Do you think she's an advocate for Trump? Yes.

Do you think she's mostly aligned with Trump? Yes. But this was her opportunity to say, listen, I also have a voice. I also have a spine. I have also backbone. Let me push back against the president in a respectful manner, not to be contentious like other interviews do. So I give her credit for standing up for Trump.

I think they're mostly aligned. But she did have this conversation on H1B. She defended Americans. She said, you don't have the talent here. Trump said straight up, we don't. You know how long it's going to retrain people? I do believe that we should have other people in other countries with high-skilled workers that should have.

be allowed to have H-1B visas, H-1B visas, but respect to Laura Ingram for basically saying, no, I want to push back on you on Fox News. So to push back against Trump, and you're a Fox News main anchor, main host to do that, respect to you. Good job. Yeah, and this continues, by the way, while she's going through it, Rob, and as they're going back and forth, she talks to him about the $600,000. I don't know if you have that one or not. Do you have, okay, fantastic. I was looking for it. So here's then, hey, you know, this is why we need to give $600,000. Why not $300,000? Well, the colleges wouldn't get money. It's a great exchange. Go forward, Rob. You've said as many as 600,000 Chinese students could come to the United States. Why, sir, is that a pro-Maga position?

When so many American kids want to go to school and there are places not for them and these universities are getting rich off Chinese money. Sure. Never said about China, but we do have a lot of people coming in from China. We always have China and other countries. We also have a massive system of colleges and universities. And if we were to cut that in half, which perhaps makes some people happy, you would have half the colleges in the United States go out of business. So what? Well, I think that's a big deal. Are they fans of the United States? Yeah, but you would have, as you know, historically black colleges and universities would all be out of business that you would have a system of colleges and universities.

So we're dependent on China to keep our university system going? I think it's good to have, I actually think it's good to have outside countries. Look, I want to be able to get along with the world. They're not the French. They're the Chinese. They spy on us. They steal our intellectual property. Do you think the French are better?

Yeah. I'll tell you, I'm not so sure. We've had a lot of problems with the French where we get taxed very unfairly on our technology where, you know, they put 25% taxes on American products. Look, assuming everyone treats us badly, because that's the way I am, but we take in trillions of dollars from students. You know, the students pay more than double

when they come in from most foreign countries. I want to see our school system thrive, but at the same time, I want to be... I know you and I disagree. We're never going to agree on it, but that's okay. And it's not that I want them, but I view it as a business. We have millions and millions of people.

He said the main word right there, Pat. When it comes to Trump, it's business, period. Well, I'll turn it over to you guys. Let me just say one thing. She seems more maggot the Trump in this interview. Does she not? I don't think he has any idea what's going on here. Like the vast majority of college income doesn't come from students paying to go there.

It comes from the endowments. But I had the perfect idea to fix this. So 93% of student loans come from the government. Why do we give kids loans to just go and take any major? Why aren't those loans contingent upon the majors and jobs that the country needs? Like if we have a shortage in, say, AI skills, why not just make student loans applicable only to people who are going to major in AI and not give somebody a loan to major and, you know, like gender studies, gender studies, art graphic design or like interior design, whatever stuff that is oversaturated? Why not just make it depend on if you're going to do something that's useful and that's needed in the country? If the government's the main provider's doing it.

What a logical point. Like, it makes sense. Here's what we need. This is what we're giving scholarships for. This is what we're funding. We're not funding fine arts. We're not funding all this other stuff. This is what American needs.

Tom, your thoughts on this. Well, during the interview, he talked about HBCUs. That stands for historically black colleges and universities, Howard and others. I was unaware that the Chinese were, you know, swamping the HBCUs. and I was unaware that they go out of business if we stop the Chinese education visa. So on that point, I was a little confused. I think maybe it got stirred up in their talk there. That's a misspeak.

That's not going to happen. The other side of it is, wait a minute, you know, to the point that Brandon just made is, you know, if some of them go out of business because they can't make ends meet, and yet they're all living on government grants. Guess what? I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. And by the way, most of the colleges in the United States, if you look at them, there's private colleges,

and then there's the public colleges, University of Florida, Florida State, FIU, U.S.F. There's like five of them in Florida that all are supported by Tallahassee and regular tuition. They're supported by states. And then what do we have? What's the private schools that we have here? Barry University of Miami. That's about it. So it's like to say...

Rob, can you pull that up? So that's the breakdown of Harvard's funding. Tom, finish your thoughts on this? Yeah. That's my thoughts. It's like state schools are supported by states. Yeah, here you go. This is Harvard's operating revenue 2024.

45% philanthropy. You got 21% education. Then you got federal-sponsored research. Then you got non-federal-sponsored research. Then you got other. Operating, expensive. It's $6.4 billion. That's Harvard University.

Interesting when you're looking at this. So, Brandon, it's right, 20 cents on the dollar comes from tuition. Here's what I want you to think about. Here's what I want you to think about. So maybe, just maybe, because here's how Trump is. Like, for example, there are certain men in your life that are purely driven based on respect. You don't respect them? They can be very nasty.

Okay, very. I relate to that. Last night I'm at this event, and I get invited to this event. they email us two months ago we'd like to honor you and recognize you for something no problem I asked Mateo this is at Marlago it's called the big blue bash

law enforcement today so I said okay I'm going to go to this event you know RFK is going to be there Tulsi Gabbard's going to be there Cash Patel is going to be there let me see who else they said is going to be there all these names that they're saying is going to be there and uh you said Tom Homan was there

Kristi Nome crushed it She did a phenomenal, I was so impressed by Christy, a gnome last night. But they had a lineup of all these speakers, about 80% of them, none of them showed up. No problem, okay? Because, you know, sometimes they'll put this stuff to bring people in, and I were sorry they couldn't show up. So I go to the event last night. And I'm walking up. Honestly, I totally forgot what the event's reasoning for me going.

I'm thinking I'm just going to go support and leave. Charity, something support and leave. Military cops. I love cops. I love military. I love any of these guys. Holman and I had an incredible conversation. The guy was sitting next to me, federal prosecutor, incredible conversation,

talk to the Epoch Times guys, a bunch of our clients that are there as well. Military, Nick Fredis just crushed it on stage. Whether I met Zoom in a little bit, Rob, I talked to a bunch of the guys on the bottom that they're honoring these veterans, right? All these veterans that they're honored. Michael Flynn doing what he does as usual. Absolutely amazing. Anyways, so then it's about 8 o'clock.

I'm taking some time. I got to go, because my kids. they're saying, where are you that? I've been there because it started they said, be there at like 5 o'clock, something like that. So, like, I got to go see the kids. Yeah, but they're running, I got to go see the. When are going to, they're saying they're doing it right after dinner.

Well, they haven't done anything yet. Anyways, it's 9.45. Then they finally are doing a recognition. At this point, kids are asleep. Did you say 9.45? 945. You wanted to leave at 8? So you're running two hours behind at this point.

And by the way, it's the only day for me to be with my kids because this weekend I'm a PhD. I'm going to someone like, respect my time. So I'm watching this lady, Judy, who's running the organization, one of the ladies that's running, it comes talks to me, very classy talks to my wife, nice person, Kyle, the guys who on stage is doing his thing. And then they're playing the videos for the people that recognize them, okay? They're playing these videos, videos, videos, videos, videos. And then all the videos are done.

And the guy on stage, who have had on this funny guy, phenomenal. It's Sheriff Mark, Sheriff Mark, you know what I'm talking about, Rob Mark from Arizona, phenomenal. that we've had him on. And then he's like, and Patrick by David. Mark Lamb. Yeah, he's creaked crushed it last night. And Patrick, but David.

No video, no picture, nothing. So everybody's kind of looking around. There's like 40 people like, hey, Pat, I'm here because you're getting a recognition, all this stuff. So I walk on stage, I'm like, okay, it's probably a screw up. Maybe it's on our end. Maybe we missed the mark on something.

No problem. They give it respectful. I took like 150 selfies last. I took so many pictures, but people was awesome talking all these guys. I said, babe, we got to go. I grabbed Jim, we get in the car. I call Mateo. I say, Mateo, what happened over here?

What was this all about? He says, what do you mean? I said, you know, they recognized, but they just kind of said the name. There was no video. There was nothing, but they played video for everybody else. I don't know. I said, call the guy. So, Nafal, who is the guy that made the recommendation with Judy for this to happen,

this recognition, this award to happen last night. No problem. I call him and say, hey, what happened here? He's like, I have no idea. I said, who's in charge of this? I have no idea. I'm not like, the fall. I would have much rather you don't even recognize me.

I just wanted to come show my face and leave at 8 o'clock so I can see my kids. You guys know how important it is for me to see my kids? I want to come see the kids. Oh, man, I'm so sorry. Let me get this other guy on. So he gets this guy on Matthew Silverman with one T. Okay. He gets on the call.

And I said, he gets on this guy right here. Zoom in his picture so we can show who he is. Just zoom it on his face, please. Zoom in right there. So this guy right here. So he gets on the call. It's me and Matteo. He says,

didn't you get free dinner anyways? Didn't you get a free table? Didn't you get a free seat? You got me to get off the stage right now? What? He's talking to me like this. This is the president of the organization. Nafal is on the call.

So is Matteo listening to this call. I said, excuse me? Did you send your videos in? Did you send your pictures in? I said, Mateo, so at this point, I'm thinking maybe Matteo missed an email. Mateo's like, you guys never requested anything. You don't let send anything. You don't know someone, I'm like, listen, buddy.

And he keeps speaking over me and Matteo. And then I'm like, guys, I'm good. You will never see my face at this organization. Ever again, I'm out. This guy, arrogant pompous, probably a 5-1 type of a guy, one of those Napoleon syndrome type of guys. And then you know what he says at the end of the call? He says, how many followers do you guys have anyways?

Are you serious? Dude, Mateo's like, wait, what did the guy just say? The amount of words I can use for this guy, I'll keep it diplomatic, okay? I can't say that one, but he is. I can't say that one, but he is. I think I can say weasel, snobby, arrogant, pompous, entitled, and horrible customer service for a person to be the president of a company

that you invited. I didn't want to go. I have things to do. You invited me and I said yes, because military and cops are going to be there. Of how much respect I got for those guys. And you're a veteran and his veterans. And it's veterans day week. And then he says,

you should have sent your video on the picture in. Guess what happens this morning? Well, Nafal calls Mathieu this morning because he feels like shit. Nafal was awesome. He handled it like a pro. Exactly how you're supposed to handle it when somebody's asking you tough questions. And they send the video that they were going to play.

They had edited the video. They already had it. This is the video that they had played, that they were going to play. And he didn't do it. And they didn't play the video. Wow. So the point is he's a liar. He's a liar.

So where am I going with this? This right here. This video that they had, you know, the intro, you know, all this stuff that they were. And the video is a very nice video that they were going to play. And then they say, Christy Nome went 45 minutes over. No, she didn't. Christy Nome spoke 10 or 15 minutes, and she crushed it. She was awesome, Christina.

As if you weren't there and you didn't win this? She was awesome. Tom Oman, awesome. Weatherford Prane, awesome. Nick crushed. Who's the guy that we wanted to have on the podcast from the group Stained? Oh, Aaron Lewis, the lead singer. It's been a while since he sang the song last night.

Wow. He was awesome. But you know what? Great song. You see organizations in the front, and then there's a guy behind closed doors, guy, and I'm Matthew, trash. So I am so, so let me go where I'm going with this point here. President Trump, what story are we in right now?

We're talking about tariffs. All president wants is an apology. The only thing I want is an apology from this guy, this little guy, Matthew, whatever his name is. Yeah. So why is he now? working to defend these universities because he sued him, he got money, they apologize,

now he's going and fighting for them. I don't know if you're on somebody I just said right there. I believe the president privately talked to these universities and he said, you're going to apologize and you're going to be pro-American, you're not going to play these games? How can I help you? He's business.

I believe. Now, by the way, Brandon. you may or may not agree with that but he's a deal maker to me i agree with that but i would i would ask like so what would the ask be and how would he ensure that they actually do it because you know it's like it's difficult enough ready to make sure that businesses do what he wants them to do but like universities the amount of like bureaucracy and layers of deception within them like how would even enforce that or like what like what would the ask be i guess that's in he got what he wanted short term though he he publicly humiliated these schools that humiliated him and a lot of other

people he publicly embarrassed them do you think that's all he wanted though because i would think that like he's they're still brainwashing the youth to be these crazy people i think i think the damage has been done to the universities i'm going to explain what i mean by the damage has been done on to the to the universities how many how many guys you think who went to harvard are going to want their kids to go to harvard like think about people go to harvard people go to these schools legacy yeah so it's like i want my kids to like you know i see i meet people that are you know University of Florida, I want my kids to go to University of Florida, right? There's a part of it that's what, thank you.

There's a part of it that's a, what's the word? Tradition. Legacy, legacy, right? Fantastic. No problem. But how many people that saw what happened who are Jewish or who are whatever are going to sit there and say, we're not sending our kids there? The damage has been done.

Trust me, you don't think Ackman pulling out, you don't think these guys pulling out, the damage has been done. So I think they already have so much pain that you, brought to them and they've seen it, nothing is permanent. It's not like you're going to be able to permanently hold these organizations accountable. But look how CBS is acting. Look how all these companies are acting. Look how, like BBC. Rob, can you do me favor? Can we pull up the BBC story here? Watch what happened here with BBC. Oh, yeah. Donald Trump threatens to sue BBC over a billion dollars for the January 6th speech edit, right? You know which one I'm talking about?

We showed on Monday. That's right. So it's like, hey, you know, he said this, but he never said that. We're going to go fight. That was not what he said next. But that's how they put it, Rob. Just show the first few seconds, Rob. If you can, press play. Watch this. Sometimes the best gifts aren't gifts at all. Their experiences, journeys,

We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell. He did not. He did not. And this was the original clip. Fast forward to the original clip to see what he says afterwards. Okay. So that's that. Now watch this one. Go ahead, Rob. to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to cheer on

our brave okay BBC so this happens with BBC then what does BBC do holy shit we have to make sure we show what happened here who quits

you know who quits not just a VP of marketing not just regular people who quits BBC boss team Tim Davy resigns over Trump documentary edit, and you know who else resigns? The girl. The girl.

The girl does the girl do? She's the head of the news. She's the head of the news. Rob, do you have the interview of her stepping down? I have. She's walking outside. You can play. Is this her?

This is Reuters covering. I think we played that one yesterday, but there is one with the CEO, Rob, where the CEO, the lady is quitting and she's being interviewed afterwards, okay? She's being interviewed afterwards This is the one she's very pompous We are a professional journalist We would never We have never do such a thing

You know And she's walking Okay buddy Yeah So woman quits Resigns And does this interview That's her

But I want to see There's a video that she's walking It's a phenomenal video I don't know why I can't find it on X Rob You're having a hard time as well I think we have it in our chat Do we not? It isn't the chat

We send it but I'm trying to find it here So she's being interviewed and she comes up and saying, I'm stepping down. Here, Rob, I just found it. I'm going to send it to you. Bingo. You should have it, Rob.

See if you got it. Okay. So she's walking up to, she's kind of give the news. BBC would never do such a thing. You know, we're not that. Rob, I just thumbs it up in the chat. If you go to it, Rob, you have to see this, folks.

It is so uncomfortable. She's a blonde lady, British. They roll up around the street. Rob, if you go to the chat, I thumbed up. Pompis. Pompis. This lady right here.

Watch this, folks. I would like to say it has been the privilege of my career to serve as the CEO of BBC News and to work with our brilliant team of journalists I step down over the weekend because the buck stops with me but I'd like to make one thing very clear

BBC News is not institutionally biased that's why is the world's most trusted pause were quick By the way, by the way she's not just ahead of anything she is the CEO of BBC Did you understand what just happened? She's the CEO of BBC that resigns because they know a billion-dollar lawsuit is coming for manipulation.

Please continue, Rob. Provider. Why did you fail to deal with the mistakes that were made? And see my teams. Thank you so much. Do you think that the journalists are a corrupt, like President Trump test? Of course our journalists aren't corrupt. Our journalists are hardworking people who strive for impartiality.

and I will stand by their journalism. Is there institutional bias that the BBC say? There is no institutional bias. Mistakes are made, but there's no institutional bias. But why are you resigning? Yeah, why are you? Yeah, why are you? I'm sure that story will emerge.

For now, I'm going to go in the CRT. Do you think the board acted against you? Thank you. This way, Deborah. And Pat, you proved that they even talked about it. They even said like, hey, listen, this is, you guys realize that we're putting something out that, and they still did it.

No, they knew it. They knew they were doing it. They knew they were manipulating. Tom. They didn't care. Yeah, you have to edit that. I can't hear. I know, we get it.

But we already feel. We'll do that afterward. Just stay with us here until they fix it. So they knew they're doing it. It's intentional. It's happening. They're trying to meddle with somebody else's politics in America that's taking place. She's not biased, Pat.

He steps down. Now she steps down. God knows how many other people are going to be stepping down. You know all Trump wants? An apology. That's it. And guess what he's going to do until he gets that? Soon the living crap at him.

Tom, go ahead. What are your thoughts? No, he's going to do what he's good at. And he is seen bias before. You see her walking. What you see is an executive walking who has signed an exit agreement that has got non-disperagement. So she's saying the only thing she can say and what she agreed to say. It's just party line is what you're hearing from her.

But the reason she resigned is because there was bias. The reason that Tim was his name resigned because there was bias. And by the way, if it's an isolated incident, they can go to the mat in a lawsuit on an isolated incident, Pat. And they can say, hey, we terminated an editor. We changed our procedures. It was a one-off. And we issued an apology and a retraction. You do that.

You don't lose the CEO. You do that. You don't lose your head of news. You're right. But guess what? They know what's coming. And what he's bringing, he's bringing the hammer. Yep.

Can I just simplify this? Yeah. They said it's literally the exact opposite. Instead of saying we're going to walk down to the Capitol and root on our amazing congressmen and women and hopefully they do a good job. No, we're going to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to go kick everybody's ass. And we're going to fight. It's literally the definition of line. Here's bias.

It's just lying. It's completely a lie. It's not even close to reality. And mind you by this is a documentary. So they wanted history to say that Donald Trump told people the government. Goal there and fight, and that's why January 6th happened. By the way, what is the lawsuit here that they're talking about? A billion dollars. Is it a billion dollars?

One billion dollars. Donald Trump threatens to sue BBC for one billion dollars over January 6th speech. One billion dollars. Rob, is there a video on this and talking about it? I just have news coverage. No, he did not speak about it. A legal representative for the president said that they were considering a billion dollar. So you know what that, thank you for that.

So what you're seeing here a pattern, a pattern, getting back to respect and not manipulating. Talk to us. Okay, don't do this. A guy asked a question they come to us. We had a call with you take the AI companies out. The fastest growing company in America. You all know who

the company. It's multi, multi-billionado company. And we're having a conversation and says, you know what makes what we like about PPD podcast? What? Because you guys are processing stuff while you're in the middle of it. It's like, what do you think about this. Can you pull this up? Can you pull that up? Can you pull? Search this. Search that.

It's not like it's like today and I'm reading a telepractor, right? Like people are going back to talk to me. Be real. What do you think? Here's what we think. Let me tell you this. Let me tell you that. No, all these games today, this, this can be used in a positive way. This can be used in a negative way. With all of this right now out there, it's very, very hard to try to manipulate because everybody is well. It's easy to manipulate short term, but long term you're getting caught. The question becomes that video

that they cut the way that they did was effective at the time. Now what? These videos that they cut this way, what Nancy Pelosi did, was effective on January 6th. All the video, we're sitting here talking about insurrection. I remember one time Adam,

I don't know if you remember this or not. We're having a conversation. I'm like, do you even know what insurrection is? Pull up what insurrection is. What insurrection? The only person that you guys killed was one of the people on Trump side. Who is this guy that's walking?

If they're telling people to run up, run up, run up, run up. The FBI guy. Ray Epps. Ray Epps. Yeah, run. Run. Go into the capital. Go into the capital.

Oof. All of these things are gradually being exposed. And it's exciting that this has taken place. I hope he goes after them. I hope he does. I hope he exposes what they're doing. This is a level above a lawsuit, I think, though, too. I mean, like, think of the danger that could have come from putting the idea in people's heads,

thinking that Trump was asking them to go there and fight and do what they're spending as an interactionary rebel against the government. So, like, I think it could be, like, you know, legal consequences of, like, potentially jail time. If you look at it a certain way, like, it's crazier than the CBS thing with Kamala, where they're just trying to make it look like she didn't say something stupid. Like, they made it look like he said something dangerous. Yes, I think it's a good point by Brennan. It's a big difference between the Kamala thing, CBS, what they doctored her thing. the George Stephanopoulos thing.

There's been other things. This is a foreign media company, which is the equivalent I would say of like PBS or NPR, interfering with American politics at the height of discord. We're all saying the same thing. Of course. Here's my question to you, though, why, where's the leverage and not just going and suing them now?

I'm curious to what would be a reason where he's just like, he wants the apology, he wants to say, so you think if he gets the apology, he's not going to ask for the money, the lawyers to go sue them? No, no, no. What's his angle? I know.

There are certain things. What happened last night? It says, it's a, all I want is an apology for last night. I'm not into suing business for something like that. Just I'll never associate with them. Okay. Because it's a great cause, good people that are being recognized. The stories couple of them was very emotional.

But guess what? It's just the executive team. The guy that's the president is horrible at what he does. Lacks respect and is entitled and it's arrogant, right? And you learn about. organizations on private calls, not on stage, on private calls. I don't know whether BBC has privately called Trump yet. I don't know. I don't know if there's been a private phone call. I don't know if anybody's reached up privately. I don't know if anyone's called and said anything.

If they did, do you think Trump would leak that to the world? I don't know. Do you think Trump would say, I just had a good call with BBC? They apologize. You think President Trump? Oh, he would definitely do that. He would do. So I don't think the call's been made. I don't think that call's been made. So guess what? You're going to get it. But there's levels to insult. This is not an insult.

This could have been a very catastrophic. If he doesn't get reelected, history books would have written it as if he said that. You are writing history and faking it. BBC, Tom, I know you want to say something. Her background here, according to the bio that's publicly available, she was president of NBC News from 2013 to 2017 before she went back across to.

the BBC. What happened in 2016 and how did NBC News cover that? What a freaking angle, Tom. Wow. You understand? Pardon me? Yeah, of course. Trump gets elected. Boom. Let me go over there. Wow. Okay. So, Tom, I love that you caught that.

And you don't think her deposition would have included, well, let's look at your previous bias and when you were president of NBC News, man. I do give her credit though, Tom. She went educated at St. Francis College age 12, expelled because she was kissing a boy in a bush. gangster, though. Wow. Good for her.

She's a wild one. You saw that? I love Tom. Tom finds that, and I find the kissing. She keeps getting expelled. So she's got a long history of getting fired. That's great. That's crazy.

Okay. Kissing a boy in a bush. Listen, she messed up, but I kind of like that's our sluth viny out there finding the real juicy. Exactly. The juicy news. All right. Let's go to the next story.

Next story. Next story, next story. All right. Next story we want to get into. I got so many of these. guys. I don't know which one to go to next. Let me see this one here. Yeah, let's go to this. So CBS News, new editor, Barry Weiss, looks to poach, ready? Scott Jennings for swanky new role. So first, he goes after Brett, she goes after Brett Bear. Now going after

Scott Jennings. Let me read this to Rob. Can you go exactly to the point where I say, if I would negotiate on your behalf. Go exactly to that point. Now when he's asking me the question. All right. So CBS, I'm going to page 21. So these guys are playing off.

And so Barry's like, let me go pick up Brett Bear and let me go pick up Scott Jennings. She's got a plan. Okay. All right. So Scott Jennings maybe have a new role at CBS ahead of him.

Thanks to the network's news, new editor-in-chief, who was hired less than a month ago to will rebrand. The outlet Barry Wise invited Scott Jennings to the company's headquarters to New York City. this week for a meeting, according to

Sam Affords. Jennings 48 has made a name for himself among right-wing media and consumers for his cut-throat debating on CNN as a part-time contributor. The 41-year-old chief also met with Fox News anchor Brett Pair to discuss the potential of hosting the channel's flagship show.

Weiss, who was aired on October 6th, met would bear a week before a discussion with Jennings. However, it appears that unlikely a deal could be made with Bear, given that he is under contract with Fox News evening broadcast until 2028, the possible moves come amid uncertainty as paramount. The parent company of CBS is expected to make cuts in the next couple of days. Before any layoffs, co-anchored John Dickerson announced on Monday that he is leaving CBS. Dickerson, who has not explained the abrupt exit announced on Instagram,

local news at the end of this year, I will leave CBS 16 years after I sat in the face of nation anchor for the first time. I'm extremely grateful for all the CBS gave me the work, the audience, attention, and the honor of being a part of the network's history, and I'm grateful for my dear colleagues who made a better journalist and a better human being of me. I miss you. Tom, thoughts. Well, first of all, what Dickerson is really saying,

let me translate for him, is this, guys, I don't want to be in the layoff press release. Can I be in my own press release, like a week sooner? Yeah, John, you've been here a while. We'll do that. That's what's going on here. There are people that know that the change is coming, people that they've already spoken to them,

They talk to their agents. They talk about how the severance is going to work. Or they just go to page 26 of the contract, Pat, you know, and say, well, clause six, we can give you notice and then pay you this much. We're exercising clause six. Your agent received an email today. And then they go, can I look good some way getting out of this? That's what's going on, point one. Point two, you know what Barry Weiss reminds me of, Pat?

Tell me. When Jimmy Johnson went to the Dallas Cowboys. And he just said, look, this has been a losing team for a while. we can't do things one at a time or two at a time. We got to go and just change it up. And the first year he had there was terrible. He won like two games. Remember that?

Like two and 12. Bill Parcells crossed the, was walking to the tunnel. Went like this. Like, dude, keep her chin up. Keep her chin up. You're building that. And I feel like she's coming in there like that and saying, I'm going to do this, this, and this.

And there is nobody offered. The interesting thing is news media organizations are highly political. You always have your buddy at the top. I says, oh, I'm really close with this guy. I'm close with this guy. You know, I'm not going to be here. There was all the words that, who was there, that Tom Brocaw was really tight with Warren Littlefield.

So you could never move Brocah, unless you wanted to go to Warren Littlefield way, way up at the top, who reported to at the time, I think, to Bob Wright, like GE. So it was tough. It appears that nobody is offering these protections. And she's able to come in and say, we're going to do this, we're going to do this, we're going here. Does this sound like she has a plan? I think it does sound like she has a plan.

She's looking for everyone she's talking to is not like far, far, far, far, far right. They have a degree of moderate middle moderation. That's how I read. So I'm at the America Business Forum. Brett Baer is interviewing me. We're having a great conversation. And then he asked me a question about capitalism. And then this is what I shared with them.

And we negotiated his contract publicly. which was great. Go ahead, Rob. On the spot, he had no clue. You actually make an offer to Brett Bear. You work at Fox News. You make millions of dollars. You're a very wealthy band. The market right now is in a very bad place.

Disney needs talent, desperately. Disney's begging YouTube to allow ESPN to be back on there because the games they're playing. Disney created a website for people to go to lobby to allow YouTube to put their app back on. And they're saying, we don't want to do this. To the point where Pat McAfee is saying, don't get me involved. I know you're paying me. I don't want to do this. CBS right now brings Barry Weiss, right?

And Barry wants to go get somebody like you. I don't blame them. Guess what's going to happen? Fox is sitting there if I'm your agent. Say I'm your agent. This is a great opportunity for me if I'm your agent. Guess what I'm doing? I'm going to say, Brett.

This is fantastic. Let me make a phone call to Lachlan. I'm going to call Lachlan. I'm going to say, hey, Lachlan, Brett Bear is about to go to CBS. He's going to get a three-year, four-year, five-year, $75 million. contract, what do we want to do to lock

into greatest moderator of our era? Do we want to lose him? No, lock him in right now. He's not going to CBS. That's capitalism. What are you going to do? Are you available? What a moment?

What was even better? It's backstage when we came up to him. He's like, so seriously, like, can we do? I respect you. You have to? Like, listen, say what you want about agendas and propaganda, whatever. That you have to respect the game and respect the hustle. When it comes to Scott Jennings, the only, I can't watch the app, Abby Phillips, dear Abby. I can't watch that.

The only moment you watch Anna Navarro on there, she's just completely out of her mind. They have no idea. There's such an in a bubble. The only reason we're watching it is because Scott Jennings calls all of them out on their BS, okay? And I have to show this clip back. Pat, Abby Phillips is with Joy Reed. and she's sitting there describing what she does and how conservatives on a completely different world,

she's sitting with Joy Reid about conspiracies. And guess what? Joy Reid is the one that was floating the idea that Trump wasn't really shot. It was a stage photo hop. Play this clip from Dear Abby. Conservatives are living in a completely different information world than liberals.

And breaking that down needs to be done. Oh, yeah. Because when you don't ever even hear the facts, it's hard to even know that you're wrong. And that happens a lot. I mean, half my job sometimes is knowing what the latest conspiracy is so that if it comes up, I'm ready to address it. Because your party's doing it. It happens a lot where people don't even know what they're saying or what they've seen and believe is not true. And so that happens a lot. And I don't come away from that saying, what's the point of this, people are just saying false things.

I think that one time that that person brings up something that is debunked and false and I debunk it at the table might be the very first time that someone out there has heard an alternative point of view. By the way, like Scott Jennings, I have a feeling he's going to leave and then who are they going to bring in to even make the Abby Phillips show even mildly watchable? It's a horrible show. It's all of them just patting each other on the back,

and she wants to talk about all this nonsense about conspiracy. That's what your party does all the time. They constantly conspire. Thank you. Which is a collusion and this. And I can't even go into all this stuff. It's just, it's so rich that sit here and listen to her talk about, she has to explain that she doesn't understand.

It's absolutely ridiculous. Half my job is this. Half my job is that. Abby, with all due respect, you're only doing half a job. And Scott Jennings is doing the other half on your show. Because you take him out and what do you have? You know what I'd love a case study? That's it.

what what hurts more if you take abby out does the cnn show change with scott jennings on if you take scott jennings out and abby stays does the show better do better without scott jennings do you understand what question i just asked it doesn't matter who the host is scott would because it's obviously going to be a leftist he's going to go in there and just dunk on every single one of them with facts and by the way you know who else barry weiss is going after matt gutman oh my boy yeah Matt, you know who Matt Gutman is? If you remember Matt Gutman two months ago, we talked about him when he said something. You guys yelled at me.

You guys yelled at me because I said he's an actual journalist. I said he's an actual journalist. But do you remember what happened with him? He said that he was sort of, and I do not condone this, but he was kind of like telling the love story of who's the guy that killed Charlie Kirk allegedly? The trans, the shooter. The trans lover story. I have the love story.

I have the clip if you want to. Oh, yeah. Can we please? I have to. So she's like creating the W. She is Yeah An alleged murder

With such Specific text messages About the alleged murder Where it was hidden How it was placed What was on it But also It was very touching

Oh What was his name? Robinson? What's the kid's name? Yeah Yeah listen Tyler Robinson This guy was

He almost shot the guy's head off Shot him in the neck Blood out But listen There's love No Like he loved His furry

His furry boyfriend who's been missing, just FYI, for six weeks, but we'll get into that. You can't condone that weird love story. However, the guy is a real journalist. I got... Adam, he's a little journalist. I got lambasted.

Adam, he's a real... I do have a question. Maybe Tom could help. Barry Weiss, I don't know much about her. Everything I hear about her is that she's very credible. She's a former liberal New York Times and maybe even Washington. I think she still is. I don't know

what she is, but she's been very against woke culture. So what? She's started this substack, she started the free press. The free press got picked up by the Ellison, the Paramount, and everything, and now she's running, just give me the context of Barry Weiss. I hear great things about her. You summarize it. There it is.

She left the enterprise of the New York Times, you know, eventually starts and builds free press, and is not like on a one to ten liberals, instead of sitting at a nine, she's like at a six and a half seven, and the Ellisons are looking for somebody more moderated

in the middle, and they were also looking for you know, podcast content. Just the same way that Fox, through the Red Investment Group, has been looking for podcast content. So you're, finish what you were going to say, Adam. And they paid her $150 million, I believe, for the free press? We say allegedly, I don't want to make it sound like a crime, but the rumors and the things that are in the media was that, yeah,

that the price for her group was around that. And then they also brought over her staff and then made her head of the news. and now she's, you know, removing people, changing people and having a lot of meetings with the right people. Remember, they're in third place. They're in third place. Of the big three, you're saying. Yeah.

ABC, NBC, CBS. Yeah. And at certain times when Rachel Maddo was on a role, they were in fourth place. So CBS has been like in the dark basement, you know, this is like, you know, once upon a time they were really good. This is like the Yankees in 74 before Steinbrenner, bottom. And then Steinbrenner said, this is a proud organization. You know what the nickname for CBS

used to be? The Tiffany Network, because they were supposedly the classiest, the one at the top with Walter Cronkite. And I feel like have the Ellison's kind of made the Steinbrenner move here, and they're going to put in. And remember what Steinbrenner putting a dugout? He made some errors of Gene Mock and stuff, but he put Billy Martin in the dugout. Why? Because Martin was a guy that wasn't going to take any ego from players. And it went back and forth. Martin was a gangster like him, though. I feel like he fired him and rehired him like three or four times.

That's exactly right. But who didn't like Martin, Reggie Jackson? Because Reggie's ego was taking over and Reggie was a performer. Reggie was Mr. October. It was all good. But Martin was like, this is the way we're going to do it. So I see similarities for the Tiffany, the once proud Tiffany Network, 60 minutes, Walter Croncright through the 60s,

70s, my goodness, now sitting there in this lowly position, Ellison's by it and say, we can do something different with this, and now Barry Weiss has been put in place. Tom, I got to give you credit. You're giving sports references today. Jimmy Johnson, how about them Cowboys, Yankees?

I know you're a huge Yankees fan. I'm talking about turnaround stories. I'm just saying that. Good metaphors. So how unique do you think Scott Jennings is? Because I actually think that they discovered a model accidentally by throwing this guy in that I don't think he's Like he's extremely talented and love what he does there,

but I don't think it's that hard to find somebody who's like that that could do the exact same thing. Oh, bro. On CBS. I know you always have this take. You couldn't be more wrong. Scott Jennings is a talented person. Are you kidding me?

I literally led that sentence by saying he's very talented. So you can't say he's very, very talented. And they know you could just replace him with anybody. No, I said you could duplicate that model very easily by just putting a concern. Hey, CNN, CBS. Call Brandon, the guy. Put him on the show. Because if they did have other people like that, anybody could replace them.

I said you could find somebody like that that's well-spoken. You're well-known. How many other liberal media? How many other liberal media networks have put a conservative in a group of liberals? By the way, just so you know, Brandon is not wrong. Hear me out for a second. Think about how many conservative talented Scott Jennings are out there at conservative networks, that liberal networks can go recruit.

If you think about the view, the view has one conservative. Who hates Trump? Who is not a conservative? The girl, she's a, you know, I don't know what you want to call. She's like a Mike Pence type conservative. Yeah, she's like a, yeah, she's like a Pence. The rhino. Conservative, yeah, she is.

She's not maga. So, but a Scott Jennings type, there are quite a few of them. I wouldn't say a lot of them. I would say there's 50 of them out there to get. So it's not hard to go find. I have a list of guys I would go pick up. And what you're looking for is there's different kind of conservatives. Yesterday when I had Sam Shimon on, a Syrian guy, we had a conversation with him here yesterday.

Very, very good conversation. He said something. He says, I'm good if you put me to debate Muslims. Because he's read the Quran and the Bible. And he was quoting scripture and the Quran for two and a half hours yesterday. Oh, joke. Blown away by this guy. Is he skinny?

Do you look good? He said he was fine. But he says, he said when, if you put me against an atheist to debate, I don't know how to debate an atheist because I'm not studied atheism. My specialty to debate is what? Muslims. So now, Sunni especially. Go into some other guys that you want to bring them, that are multi-fiel. Some guys, they're, you know, trick pony is what?

Israel. I can debate Israel. Some it's J-6. some it's you know what do you call it federal reserve federal reserve you know like and the fed some is there's a lot of one trick pony guys and then you have great processors then he have great entertainers and he even talked about a guy whose name was what was the guy's name rob yesterday

William something that Sam talked about his books are amazing his this he says but William is a great writer but a horrible debater he said his books are amazing but the moment he did a debate with this other man named William Is that him, Rob? William Lane Craig? I believe so. Yeah, William Lane Craig.

He says the moment he did a debate, I don't know if it's him. No, I don't think that's him. The moment he did a debate with another person, he failed. Older gentlemen. Yeah, because he was not a debater. So I think there is about 50 Scott Jennings out there, and I would put Scott at the top right now. He's fantastic. He's fantastic.

But I understand the argument you're making. They're out there, but these organizations simply don't know where to look, where to find them, but they're definitely out there to go fine. It's a good model. It's a good model. Fantastic. Put a common sense in the middle of a bunch of crazy people. When's the last time CNN actually had real substantive debate. Crossfire back in the day with Tucker Carlson. I'm going to the next story, Adam.

I'm going to the next story. Government shut down. Senate passes bill to end the government shutdown, sending it to the house. So, Rob, I think you got to clip on this one here, page nine. So, uh, uh, Senate passes bill. Okay. The Senate on Monday passed. the bill. Federal government throughout January. The bill, which passed 60-40 with support of a

handful Democratic senators, nearly all Republicans will be sent to the House representatives. If it passes the House, the bill will head to President Trump to sign. Trump earlier Monday said that he supports a funding deal, which was negotiated between Republicans and gang of moderate Senate Democrats. Nearly six weeks after the shutdown, House Speaker, Mike Johnson, told his Republican conference earlier Monday that he wanted GOP House members to begin traveling to D.C. House members were told that votes on deal could begin 4 p.m. on Wednesday before the Senate vote, Johnson refused to commit to the deal's key guarantee to Democrats that Congress will hold a separate vote in December on potentially extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies that vote would be on a bill

of the Democrats choosing according to the Senate agreement. I'm not committing to it or not committing to it. Speaker Johnson said, Rob, is this an update on the video? Yeah, this is a Reuters clip. I also have the president and then I have Fox News. Which one do you want to go with, Rob? Let's go with the president. Go for it. Do you personally approve of the deal that's happening right now, capital little to end the opportunity?

Well, it depends what deal we're talking about. But if it's a deal I heard about, that's certainly, you know, they want to change the deal a little bit. But I would say so. I think based on everything I'm hearing, they haven't changed anything. And we have support from enough Democrats. And we're going to be opening up our country. It's too bad it was closed, but we'll be opening up our country very quickly.

Okay. Now, what's the other one you got, Rob? I have Fox News reporting on the Senate vote as well as Reuters. Let's look at the Fox News one. Go forward. We thought that this is pretty much how this was going to go. There's a reason they call those test votes and the test vote results. Sometimes the final vote is a little bit different, but that was not the case tonight. It was the same vote breakdown as what we had last night.

Let me just go through the list. As you say, it was 60, 40. They did not need 60 votes, however. They just needed a simple majority. They needed 60 votes to break that filibuster last night. Here are the Democratic Yeas, the same coalition that voted with most of the Republicans last night. Catherine Cortez Mastow, Democrat of Nevada, Dick Durbin, the Democratic Whip, John Fetterman, who you just had on. Maggie Hassan, Democrat of New Hampshire, Angus King, the independent senator from Maine, who was also voting with Fetterman and Cortez Mastow on the previous votes throughout the month of...

Okay, Tom thoughts. So this is a show of strength by John. John Thune, because this needed a simple majority, and all those Democrats could have a step back. We went over the list. He was going. I'll make it even simple for her. Both in Nevada, both in New Hampshire, Dick Durbin in Illinois, one in Virginia, Angus

King and Meng, and then John Fetterman. No surprise about Fetterman. Those are the eight that went with it. And so right now, two things happened this morning. The Republicans are all happy because they've won the battle, but five times out of five, you'll lose the war for the midterm elections. and they've got to get on the stick. There's no time for a victory lap right now.

They've got to address affordability issues and get that in front of the American people what they're going to do. But what's also interesting this morning is Chuck Schumer. I saw in the Wall Street Journal, I saw in the Washington Post. Chuck Schumer was taking unbelievable heat

that people said that they personally called him. Remember, these are representatives calling Senator. They're calling him and just jumping down his throat. And he was saying, I've been getting calls all evening. I was getting calls all morning, and, you know, I don't know what all the anger is about. They knew this was coming. Listen to that carefully. Chuck Schumer saying to the media this morning that the other Democrats that are so upset in the House that these six senators came across, he says, we told them.

They knew this was coming. You know what that means? Chuck Schumer knew before the weekend that the Dems were about to blink and that the Republicans weren't going to put in the concessions, especially the Obamacare subsidies. And so he's out there today, very interesting, talking to big media, trying to cover his butt, saying, I don't know why they're so upset. We told them this was coming.

We gave them notice. We understood. So Chuck was telling people. Now, what was he telling people? Let's dive down. I'm losing eight votes, man. I got Nevada. I got New Hampshire gone.

Durbin went. And Virginia, Maine. And, of course, damn Federman. They all went on me. That means Schumer couldn't pull those eight in. line. The president won Schumer blinked and I take you back to when Schumer sat in the Oval

Office. This is a W for Trump over Schumer politically but there's a lot of work to do and they got to go win these midterm elections and they got to turn the dialogue. And by the way, literally everybody has turned against Schumer. I don't know if you've noticed that. Everybody is going for Schumers

was that headline this morning right there? What's that? Yes. The view is destroying Schumer. Is that it? This is the headline from the Wall Street Journal, Tom, mentioned. Got it. Plugged over to Schumer shut down. What's the view, Rob? What do you have on the view?

This is the view from yesterday where they here. Because he couldn't get him in line. Wow, that's a six-minute clip. Do they get right into it or? I'm not sure. I just found it. Oh, I haven't had a chance of screen. Yeah, but it looks like everybody is going after Schumer.

and he's having a hard time. This is not a good season for him. So Pelosi is stepping down, end of the year. It looks like Schumer probably is going to be gone as well here very soon. The old guard needs to go. They need to go. I mean, if the Democrats want anything, Pat, and you see where the party's going with the Mamdani's and the AOCs

and the Bernie Sanders, that's where their party, because they still have no message. They have no real leaders. That's what they're going to be their default. The Hakeem Jeffries, who doesn't do anything about everything. Somebody asked them a question the other day, The first thing he says is, well, Trump, it's like they're still caught in the Trump world. And unless they start shifting, they're going to be stuck.

And I think he is next. AOC is a decision to make in February. If she announces she's running for Chuck Schumer's seat, how does she also not run for president, but like position herself for the VP slot? She's got to make a choice. You see what I'm saying? Is she going to position herself for VP? Is she going to make a short run for president to elevate her national exposure? or is she going to run for Schumer's seat in the Senate?

I think the right move, Tom, is Schumer's position. Yeah. I actually agree with that. Senate? Yep. I think so. Well, I think so. I think that's the right move. I want you to watch this clip and I don't come into you.

Go for it, Rob. Or quick at work right now talking to the Democrat leadership that gets their campaigns funded by these insurance companies. And I sure hope it works. I think that meteorite that hit the Gulf of America, millennia. go that wiped out the dinosaurs is Trump care, and it's going to wipe out the dinosaur that's Chuck Schumer. I think Schumer's days are remembered as everyone else does. I think AOC will take him on in the primary and beat him like a drum.

I agree. And I think it's a right career move for her. Go ahead, Adam. Yeah, well, he said the word that I was going to say, Chuck Schumer is a dinosaur who's politically homeless in the current Democratic Party, and he's a dead man walking. The Democratic Party is no longer the Democratic Party. it is now the DSA, the Democratic Socialist Party of America. Unfortunately, I would love to see a strong Democratic Party

with substantive issues that could combat maybe some of the issues. The Republicans are bringing up to the table, but the Democratic Socialist of America highlighted by our good friend, what a guy, Mamdani, and AOC, and Bernie Sanders. It's a shell of what the Democratic Party, Bill Clinton, and even Obama used to be. So they're going in the wrong direction. They're doubling down on the three.

20% on the 80% issues Pardon me And I think Chuck Schumer's days are numbered And I think AOC is a better representative Of what the current Democratic Socialist Party is in America And we're not going to be better served for it You know when Chuck Schumer's really bad downfall was When on 4th of July he was in front of the grill

With a piece of cheese that was just frozen on there And that was it. America was like, I don't know if you could find this clip But to me Chuck Schumer's downfall was When Trump incredibly Just won the election and maybe it was even before the election he goes, Chuck, your party's become

so woke, you know, maybe you can come back as a woman and running, whatever he said, and he's like, you're looking real, smug, looking glum, real glum, real glum. Chuck, he's just like, glum, very glum. And he just ridiculed him in a nice way. I'm like, this guy's finished.

Do you have that? Here we go. He had a coming in very, very strong. I won't tell you what way that is, but Chuck Schumer is here looking very glum. very glum. He's like, look at him, look at him, look at him. But look on the bright side, Chuck,

considering how woke your party has become, if Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president. And it's so true. Because that's basically what the Democratic Party was at that point. He is one of a guy. So awesome. The stuff that he does is.

Look at him. That's the photo. Look at that. Look at that cheese. All right. Let me get to the next one here. So this African-American... He's never seen a barbecue. So this African-American lesbian lady who went to the gym to work out and seized this guy with a big dangle ink hanging out just doing a stink, trans guy.

She confronts... I love that. He just have to see this. She confronts the lawmaker in California saying... And then somebody comments and then watch what happens next. Go ahead, Rob. Great clip. Senator Wayne, as the only black lesbian here, can I please ask you a question.

because I flew here to do that. Yeah. Okay. As a lesbian woman who was attacked in the woman's locker room at Gold's Gym this week by a self-identifying trans woman with a documented history of domestic violence, I'm deeply concerned about women's safety in a female-only spaces. What would you say to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California law, can self-ide as women in women-only-only-shaired?

basis, sir. Please tell me. Yeah. So we want, I mean, everyone to be safe. And we also know that, you know, we have trans people, both men and women. There comes. Who are men and women. No, and so, you know, we, so if you're trans women are women. Senator, you've done great things with the bills you've passed with the housing. I've read a lot of your bills. But, and like you said, there are bills that need to be opened up. And I'm telling you now, millions of women across America are being harassed and sexually assaulted in locker rooms. I'm a lesbian, black woman, I'm not transphobic, I'm not homophobic, and I do respect a lot of the things you've done. But I do see a lot of these bills that you've passed that are dangerous for women and young

children. And I understand that you're trying to be on a level playing field, and I'm here represent my community because I hear a lot of things about my community in these bills. And I'm telling you as a woman, first and foremost, that this is dangerous. And we need your help because you're in the office. You're going to go into Pelosi spot. I want to support you. I have millions of people behind me watching this right now. And we want to know, are you going to protect women, not trans women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women, women.

Listen, we need to protect women's safety. I was assaulted. I was assaulted. No, they are not. They are men. I was assaulted by men. He broke his wife's jaw so brash. You need a reconstructed surgery.

I'm a lesbian. I'm not transphobic. And I'm black. So if there's another black woman in here who wants to tell me how they feel, please join in. But all of you are not. And I don't know who you are, what you are, but I'm a lesbian. And I'm telling you right now, men are harassing women in the locker room. Let's let him answer the question.

I'm just telling you, sis, I want to woo, woo, woo. No, just let's. Now I'm done. And right. Law, I respect it. I just want to let you know that. I'm done. I appreciate your point of view.

I'm so sorry that you were. Multiple times. And I appreciate you talking about it. Um, I, I think we need to protect the safety of all women. He's still hanging on. And that obviously that's incredibly important. Uh, and I also know that trans women are also, oh my God.

Oh my God. And sisters are brutalized. You can pause right there. Somebody give this guy a shovel. I just want you, oh, so for people that don't know who this guy is, that is California State Senator Scott Weiner. And like I said the beginning, it's just weird that all these weaners. are just from Anthony

to him. There's no relation. Yeah, that's it. That's him. Go to the next photo, Rob. That's him. He's potentially going to be taking Nancy Pelosi's not him. That's him on the left. That guy in the back with the blue shirt on is him? No, no, no. No, it's the guy. It's him on the left.

So he's gay? Yeah, how about this? He's in the community. I'm not going to say, allegedly, but here's some of the... I'm just going to make an assumption. Adam, here's some of the bills that he's been behind. He's been behind a lot of bills. You're right. Chasing behind a lot of them.

Are you saying that a gay army doesn't come out? And a lot of George's and a lot of Fries and a lot of Leroy's. I'll just name a couple of things. Oh, God, it's so freaking funny. SB 357 legalizing prostitution, creating more trafficking for opportunities. SB 86. Minors can consent to medical experiments without their parents' knowledge. removing penalty for knowingly giving a partner HIV, that's SB 238.

So when you guys want to know why a man is sitting there, mind you, I don't care if she's a lesbian, whatever. A woman is telling you she's sexually assaulted because the dude who beat the hell out of his wife and broke her freaking jaw is in there with his dangleing hanging out. And the guy that's basically in charge is saying, hey, that guy, if he says he's a woman, he's a woman. They don't give a day, hey, ladies, all you feminists out there, the LGBT. you loving and you're parading, they don't give a damn about you. Okay, they don't give two shits, and this is happening in California and where's Gavin Newsom? He's

on the world tour of Trump as Hitler, but in his freaking state, you could still go in there, take your assault a woman, and guess what they're going to do? They're going to stick up for the guy. Congratulations, California. You guys keep getting W. You stopped reading. Read SB 239, read SB 139, read SB 139,

removes penalty for knowingly giving a partner HIV. I said that one. Oh, that's wonderful. And then SB 132. Wait, he removed it? Yeah. That's right. So if you knowingly give your partner AIDS, HIV, it's not a crime. SB 2.39 was created.

Look up to be. Look at a budget. SB 239 was created. So if two gentlemen meet each other, one has to say, I need to advise you that I am positive. Like, what's the argument for removing that? Hey, guess what? Because, hey, Brandon, guys just want to have fun, bro. It's discriminating.

That would be the argument, right? And, oh, then they also, SB1, I guess what they're saying, the positive people would never get laid, so they have to... SB 200, California law and that 2004 under Jerry Brown that performed, reform prior HIV exposure criminal statute. Prior to this law, California had HIV-specific criminal statutes, making it a felony, for example, for someone who knows their HIV-positive, does not disclose it, and has unprotected, said, if no transmission occurs, HIV-specific felony provisions, and aligns law for HIV with laws. So key changes under the new law, the person knows that they are afflicted with a communicable disease. The person acts with a specific intent and transmitting.

The person engaged in conduct, proposed substantial risk of transmission. Actual transmission of the disease occurs. The penalties were reduced. What had been previously been as a felony is now a misdemeanor. It's a misdemeanor. Oh, and then also he required biological males.

By the way, and he's backed the law of biological males to be housed with females, if they identify, guys, these are those people. Those are the deviants. Those are the freaking, the LGBT community that we've been warning you guys about. That's the person that's going to be taken. By the way, there were documented cases of men who conspired with their attorney to self-identify as women. So that they would get moved to the women's prison because, you know, Bubba and the running start in the men's prison wasn't going well.

And so they literally went to their attorney and said, I'm identity, Pat, check this out. I'm identifying as a woman as of today. My attorney is putting all these things up. I feel abused here at the men's prison. And so they say, okay, we'll move you to the women's prison. No change, no hormone, no surgery. Nothing. Just verbal.

Yeah. Murder Tom. I heard there was a rapist that said in California, I remember this during COVID. He's like, I'm a woman. You have any idea how one of them got somebody pregnant? He got a female pregnant. You know, it's the biggest thing that could stop this, though, is like a coalition of people like that,

because I think that gays and lesbians are, and trannies are as different as Republicans and Democrats, like, in terms of traditional gay people and lesbian people versus, like, this new, whatever you want to call it, like, weird thing of the trans people and the mentally ill people, like, those are two different categories. And I think the traditional ones should, you know, have a, she's a traditional, like, yeah, exactly. Like, a thousand people like that should be, like, rallying against this. I think that's the big, the strongest thing. By the way, I like her. I like her a lot.

I need more people like that. Let me tell you. Need more people like that. We're like actually gay. I like her. And against that. She walked into a meeting with her statement. I love her.

Delivered it eloquently with respect. I love her. And indicated, I hope she was telling the truth. She said, I've read your bills. So I've read your bills. And I'm here. I just want to talk about it. Brandon's absolutely right on this thing right now.

There's a big difference between the L, the G, the B, the Q, the E, and the T. It's completely ridiculous. this black lesbian is giving you a layup. Hey, I'm a black lesbian. Woman. Hello. I'm on your side. Like, give you a layup to defend women.

And he's like, trans women or women, tell. You idiot. But this is the party at this point. This is this guy. And FYI, just to all my friends in California. Mita, listen. Mita, mea, always tell me. For favor, listen.

Me, Rope Leszac, please. Shmi, Chadega. Yeah. Shmee. Yeah, I'm going to give it to you in these different languages. Your state ain't changing anytime soon. Prop 50 made your representatives become 48 to 4. And that's them.

That's one of them. That's what they stand for. So good luck, California. All you have to do is realize you either, accept it, you either change, or you're either just put your kids in private school and not have to be around any of this stuff because it's not going away. It's not going away. I will tell you, Texas, beautiful state. Nevada, good state. Tennessee, incredible. Okay. Florida, Boca Raton. The best. The next 10 years, Vinnie, watch how many Assyrians and Armenians of our kind.

Yes. Our kind. Yesterday we had almost 15 Assyrians here. 15 Assyrians, all speaking Aramaic. There was hair in the sink when they left. I'm that serious. Hair everywhere. Fifteen Assyrians here, right?

Just wait. All shedding, apparently. Ten years, I say in the next 10 years, we're going to get Chicago, Syrians that are going to come here. We're going to get Armenians and some irony. La, la, la, la, la. They're going to move here, Ryan. Pvdi, they're going to start coming here.

And then all of a sudden. you're going to go to the store and half of them we're going to be middle leasing. I'm like, Aramonzes, that's going to open up here. But I think it's going to take 10 years.

And the church. We need an Assyrian church. Mahleta. By the way, Bidi, can I give a shout-out? Where's, where's the book?

We don't have it here? Right behind them on the shelf. By the way, you see this year, we got an Armenian. Assyrians there. We got an Assyrian flag, but no Armenian flag

ever. They never gave it to us. If they sent it, we'll put it back here. They're choosing. Everybody knows this. I want to make this clear, so they know what happened. We've had at least 600 Israeli flags sent to him.

We've informed them. Yeah. Okay, we have a small little side business on eBay, okay, that it's not going to go here. No, we're just joking about these people. They're going to believe it. They're wearing this lady their enemy. This is the last enemy you want. She's not.

A black lesbian making her your enemy, you idiots. They are. All right. Shut up, actual. a woman who's female and lesbian? We're defending the trans. You're an absolute morose. So let me ask you a question.

How many of you here play Roblox? Who's played Roblox? Vinny, have you ever played Roblox? I honestly don't even know what it really is. Tom, have you played Robbock's? No. Rob. But I know I know it.

My children do, but supervised, but I have not. You have not. Obviously, you don't. I've never even heard of it. Okay. So I'm not going to come to you. The only Roblox I deal with is when I'm running late on 95, and you're like, why are you running late?

Like, it's a roadblocks. Not that rolled block, Adam. It's a roll blocks. I don't know what it is. Let me read this and Brandon, I'm coming to you. Or the Pimp can't break a 50. So let me take, even though, even though if you don't know what's going on, Roe blocks user accused of soliciting Florida child after parent reports explicit chats.

So here's the one thing that's going on in video games that parents are not paying attention to. Sometimes, some parents are on top of it. Some are having a hard time with this because it's like, what else you want me to monitor? So let me read this to you. Florida authorities recently arrested a man accused of soliciting a child through the popular gaming platform Robx.

The rest was announced, Rob, is there a way we can turn on the AC a little bit like this place? I feel like I'm in a freezer right now. I see Vinny's shivering. Can you tell them to this? I'm going to tell a story like this. So Roblox, they are like parents

and there's pedophiles on there. I'm freaking freezing. I hear Maracas, but I know there's no Maracca's in here. No, it's me, Tom. Guys, I haven't even read the story yet. We can eventually get to the story here. So let me start all over. Roblox user.

Florida authorities recently arrested a man soliciting a child through the popular gaming platform Roblox. The rest was announced by the Flagler County Sheriff's Office FCSO on November 7. The suspect Brandon Rodriguez-Silva-20 of San Jose, California, has been charged with transmitting material harmful to minors by electronic device and soliciting a child for unlawful sexual conduct using a computer. service device, according to authorities, Rodriguez-Civil allegedly engaged a Florida child on Roblox

and encouraged them to move to the messaging app Discord before eventually swapping cell phone numbers. The suspect told the victim that he was 18 years old and lived in California, began requesting nude photographs. The press release read, the messages between the suspect and the child contained numerous sexually explicit text and photographs, but no nudity.

The victim's parents ultimately caught wind of the conversations and reported them to authorities. Fortunately, this parent acted as the sheriff in their home by reviewing their children's message and contacting law enforcement immediately after discovering a stranger's was attempting to take advantage of your child. The sheriff said,

FCSO said that the arrest was more than two years in the making. It took two years to get to this point. Okay. So when you look at statistics with Roba Bryant, and I'll come to and I've got a bunch of different things I want to talk about this. But your thoughts on this? The first, so I've never played the game either.

But I wonder why they can't just simply, like, automate it so that stuff like that can't be spoken about on there. Or, like, it gets flagged if they're requesting pictures, especially those type of pictures or saying those type of things on there. Because, I mean, it seems like a pretty simple thing to do. And it seems like a pretty big liability for the company if that's happening. So I would, that's like my first common sense thought is why don't they add things in place that could catch that or keep that off of there. and yeah i mean i think it's played too many video games i hear like a lot of people talking about this game so yeah both those things too much video games and why can't you do the common sense thing of just filtering that stuff out and not allowing it on there yeah tom what do you think

about this what i think you don't need kipersky you don't need norton you don't need mackafee you need parents and i'm going to take you down through this i was ready for this question roblocks is catching all the publicity right now because it's open and the practice private chat features. Now we know they've been exploited by predators. But let's go through the list. Minecraft has extensive multiplayer and live chat. In other words, while you're playing the game in an online cloud-based world, it's been a target for predatory attempts. Fortnite voice and text check systems have been exploited by adults to get inappropriate contact. And there's multiple cases by the FBI, busting predators on Fortnite. Discord. It's not a game, but it's widely used

for game chat and game-related chat. And it's been the center of a big grooming case. Twitch live streaming platform. Kids can stream and interact by live chat, showing their, you know, your kills or your gaming escapades. And they have found that they've actually been able to exploit children through video and chat features inside Twitch. And then the risk mechanisms are simple.

If you don't supervise your kid and there's lots, intercontact available through that gaming platform, then there will be predators and they're attempting to initiate inappropriate contact. That's the way it is. Parents need to be stepping up here. And yes, all of the technologists behind Twitch, Discord, Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, there, everybody's upset with me. They all need to be putting in filters and controls and do a better job because law enforcement has found cases on all of them. By the way, so let me read you a couple of them. So here's a few stories. At Saturday one, we just reported on some data for you guys to know.

85 million daily active users as of early 2025. That's how many people play Robblogs. 85 million. 40% of the players are under the age of 13, okay? And when you look at this, Fairfield man September of 2024 last year pleaded guilty to molesting a 10-year-old girl whom he met on Roblox.

New York security guards September of 2024 last year arrested for coercing an 11-year-old girl into explicit content. California boy suicide, April of 2025, 15-year-old Ethan Dallas allegedly groomed on Roblox discord, leading to his death, mother sued for wrongful death. Kidnapping cases, a 27-year-old California man charged with kidnapping a 10-year-old girl May of 2025, a 37-year-old, Illinois man, Iowa man, accused of abducting and abusing a 13-year-old girl ongoing lawsuit, a Delaware man kidnapping an 11-year-old. girl, New Jersey, October of 2023, state lawsuits, Louisiana, August 24, suit for enabling predators and experiences like escape to Epstein Island, Texas, 2025 for ignoring safety laws. Kentucky, other similar to that, over 35 parent lawsuits alleged exploitation with one

firm investigating thousands of claims, Vinny, thousands of claims. Bloomberg reported 24 roblox related arrest by 2024 plus six. in 2025. Roblox has introduced over 145 safety measures in 2025, including age estimation for chat access, banning under 13 from direct messaging outside games, prohibiting image video sharing, and using filters to block personal info, it employs AI moderation 24-7 human teams. They're doing this, right? Because of some of the cases in November of 2024, it added content categories and barred adults from chatting with under 13-year-olds and experiences Roblox denies claim, calling them misleading and appeals ruling.

California judge denied arbitration in a father's case. They kept it public. There are so many stories I can tell you with what's going on here with Roblox. 29% of Roblox players are 9 to 12 years old. 22% are 13 to 16 years old. 17% 17 to 24. 15 of users are actually under 9 years old. 15% of Roblox users are under 9 years old

and only 17% of Roblox players are over the age of 25. So this is the part when you're looking at all the exchange and the conversations that kids are having and parents are sitting there kind of trying to monitor and see what is the real risk that's out there. This is a very different... That's a danger. Pat, that's a pedophile.

Well, they're number one and they're taking a key. But Minecraft, Fortnite, Discord, Twitter. which all of them have had the same problems. And the Roblox has taken the heat with the big headlines right now because they're number one and so popular. I cannot recommend anxious generations to parents enough. Parents, please, I didn't write this book. I've been saying this since when, Tom, this summer I would say.

Oh, I would say almost two years since I was it last summer. Last year, last summer. Oh, my God, it's last summer. I thought it was awesome. I've been saying it for a year and a half. Go buy the book. I had Jen read it. husbands and wives go there's a reason why it's number nine in the charts this week and a book came

out a year and a half ago it's got 10,500 reviews go do yourself a favor and buy this book immediately read it especially if you have a young daughter teenage daughter read this talk to your kids about it there's a lot of this that's happening right now that uh that we need to be having conversations with our kids it is such a multi-fast we're having a conversation with so many people around us right now are like all into the homeschooling part and you know more and more and more parents are bringing up why they're homeschooling why they're considering homeschooling instead of putting the kids in school Adam I think you wanted to say something. It's reminiscent of what we were discussing I believe on Monday when we did the poll of at what age would you allow your kids

to use social media and it was like I think three percent were like any age doesn't matter and then the vast majority were like 15 or 18 plus but I don't know anything about Roblox, but this is what? Where social media meets gaming in a virtual world? You could also interact with people online. It just seems very, very dangerous. By the way, within the confines of these numbers, does it say what percentage of players or users are boys versus girls? I would assume it's mostly young boys, right? I would assume. What percentage of, what percentage of users on Roblox are boys versus girls? It's a good question. I know you're going down the age but I'm assuming it's mostly young boys.

60. 40? I would assume it's like 90, 10. I could be dead wrong. I don't know. Wow. Oh, really? It's 50, 50 almost. Look at that. Wow. So young girls play this game too? This is dangerous as hell, man. Anyways, keep your eyes out there, folks. Keep your eyes on your kids. Well, it's tough because of all the two-parent households that have to work.

You know, that's a weird thing, too, is that you can't have just one parent working and one parent constantly watching. So I think that's a little bit easier said than done, unfortunately. Good point, Brennan. Also, how about single-parent households? This is why I believe 20-28 election will be about affordability, a lot of it, and will be about, can I buy a house, can we have one, you know, one earner in the house and live off of that? Can we go back to somebody staying home to raise the kids? I think whoever is campaigning for 2028, they have to pay very close attention to being able to get that message tight. Truly. Yeah. Parties. One of the sides, we know how they're going to be doing it. give away stuff for free.

Right. Okay? But I think there needs to be a real intentional plan behind this. I know you have some thoughts and I have some thoughts, but we can move on

to the next door here. Next door we want to get into is turning point USA bloody brawl breaks out as agitators, protest, turning point USA event at UC Berkeley in California. Absolutely nasty

what happened over there. It's craziness. Rob, if you just want to play some of these clips while I'm reading this, go ahead and play. Go for it, Rob. Look at this. Break it off.

They want. Oh, so the guy right there, his name is Jihad. On the right? Which guy? You can't make this up. The guy at the gray jacket that they're pulling off. So the guy with the red had his chain snatched and robbed, and he's bleeding. And see them.

Who's Jihad? Listen. You're bleeding, white boy. Listen, racism. Relax. What happened, white boy? What happened? I'm assuming a Latino, Mexican guy talking crap about the white guy.

The white guy is the very. victim. He got his chain snatch back. He's wearing the freedom. Rob has a video of like a... What just happened did. Let me read it. Violent Antifa thugs stormed a soldout event for Charlie Crook's Turning Point USA at the University of California. You see Berkeley organizer said with Kifier clad

protesters clashing with cops and attendees leaving some covered in blood. Turning point USA leaders quickly blamed the bloody violence. This is a New York Post. Violence on the anti-fascist agitators as footage has showed a demonstrators trying to break through police barricades after the campus event for the group was kicking off late Monday right now at Turning Point USA campus tour stop at UC Berkeley Antifa's breaking through police barricades

and threatening our attendees TPSA chief of staff Mikey McCoy said on ex protesters scuffle with police prior to a Tony Point USA event at UC Berkeley as the violence erupted one disturbing clip shot by Fox News showed a man in red this is the one that we're talking about Vinny, what happened here? So, Pat, it's a, if they're having like a rally, and obviously Antifa, which I thought the president of the United States defined them as a terror organization. But for some reason, in freaking California, all over the country, mainly California, these guys get to wear their masks. They're openly on TV.

Well, guess what? Mainstream media and Gavin Newsom say it doesn't exist. Antifa's fake. Okay. And the video, Pat, just so you see that video. Right, because they don't have a website. Yeah, they don't have a website. Yeah, exactly.

Allegedly, this guy, the guy that grabbed the, so that's the guy right there, Pat, he's wearing, the guy that was wearing red, he's wearing a necklace, and allegedly this guy named Jihad, and his name is spelled D, P-H-R-E-DeFerles. I don't know, he was charged with assault and robbery after the confrontation. He grabs the guy's chain, runs.

The cops arrest the white guy, they arrest the J-Hod guy, but then later on they released them. But I'm just, the DOJ is saying they're launching an investigation, Pat, but I thought, And they confirmed. Antifa made a plot to ambush the TPSA event. And also Andrew Claven, is that his name? Andrew Claven.

Andrew Claven was on, I believe, J.C. Waters last night. And he said that now these leftists are fraudulently grabbing up tickets to the event on mass just to make sure that the conservatives don't intend. Like, is it just me? Or was Charlie Kirk not just assassinated a couple of months ago? and they're still letting this type of crap happen at TPSA events. And again, what do we just show, Adam, what's happening with California with the men in the women's restroom? This is another example of California because your governor says that Antifa doesn't exist.

This is what they get to do. They get to go nuts. And Rob just showed one video. It's insane, Pat. They were throwing gas. They were throwing projectiles. This is California. This isn't Beirut.

Press play. Look what they're doing, bro. Any dark Any class Yeah fascists Blah blah blah Look at these losers Losers

Losers The event still went on though Look Like where are we Where the hell are we Like where are we Where are we You want to talk about national guard

Trump's doing the national guard And all these places This is where you need the national guard Okay if Antifa Can I ask you a question I'm like What happened to the gang in L.A. Exactly.

But hang on a second. Like, no, no, what happened to the tough guys of the 80s and 90s? They would never let this happen. Yep, what happened? I don't know if you know what I'm saying. Like, this is such a weird analogy I'm going to give, like,

do you actually think 18th Street would be with these guys? Do you, I'm trying to sing like Tunaville, TVR, or, you know, or black diamonds or Bloods and Crip? Bloods and Crip. Armenian power, I don't know if they would, I don't, I don't know if they, I don't know, man. If I'm not mistaken, I think the cartels wiped them out.

Who wiped them out? I think the cartels wiped out the gangs because they wanted to deal drugs there, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know if you're going to be able to wipe out all of them, but I think, if they wanted to. I think they could, but not all of them, because you would have to have everybody there to get rid of all of them. All I'm trying to ask is like, I went back, I saw that BMW that raced off, right? Do you know where I went to? I went to Glen Oaks in 1992 when my friends and I, we would race BMWs like that and RX2s back in the days with the 13J engines.

I don't know if you guys are familiar with the 13J engine. What I just said is probably only, I guarantee you, less than 0.1% knows what I'm talking about. If you know what I'm talking about, comment in the chat. If you know what I'm talking about with the racing of the old 13J engines on the RX2s, it was phenomenal. They were loud. I mean, we know all about this.

Yeah. So, but you know where I went? And then I remember as a kid, who was in the streets? Who was wearing the Antifa? Who was wearing stuff like that? That was, that was not us. That was not us. Like the troublemakers were not, I don't know.

Like, I don't think that those gangs actually would allow this madness to happen. Yeah, I agree. I agree because it's their city. It's their city that you're burning down the city. You're breaking stuff. You're starting. Guys, for absolutely no reason. Why?

Because TPSA is going to go there and talk, but it doesn't surprise me. Do you know the chief of police at UC Berkeley is? Take a wild guess. Yogananda Pittman. She was in charge of the intelligence of the U.S. Capitol Police before and during January 6th. Wow.

And she became acting chief. She's the one that failed to warn Chief's son of the planned January 6 violence. That's her. That's her. Weird. It's weird how these, oh, okay. They want it to burn down, guys.

They want it. Where's the pretend? protection for, what was TPSA doing? They were having, they're going in there and they're speaking at an event. What, what is Antifa? And by the way, at Berkeley. At Berkeley, I'm sorry. But you know what drives me crazy?

And I'm going to go on. Same thing that drives me crazy, but preach it. I know where you're going. Where's the security? Where's all this? Exactly. Where's Trump? Like, we're all about law and order.

Where's Trump protecting all these people? Like, what are we talking about here? Where is it, Adam? Did they get kicked out of the California at the National Guard because of the court? I don't know, but bro, it just drive me crazy. if we're going to go after these people, if they're a terrorist organization, treat them accordingly.

And again, every single time this always, always goes back to George Soros, Pat, and this guy gets to go around and do whatever the hell he wants and nobody goes after him or his son who's taking the reins. Why? Why? If we're going to go after them,

go after them. I'm confused. The whole thing with me, this whole Antifa thing, if they were actually anti-fascist, I mean, a good point there. They're actually anti-American. There's only one group of people

that are fighting police burning down cities and burning the American flag and it just so happens that they're all wearing this CAFEA thing which was not even a thing before October 7th when Hamas terrorists went into Israel

and just slaughtered people. So it's no different, this CAFIA thing as they put it over their head, is no different than the KKK in the right with their hoods. Explain the difference to me. There is no difference. Anything when the far, far, far right was doing the KKK thing and they're burning the crossing,

the neo-Nazi thing. We all understood this is not America. But why is this tolerable on the left? Why is it acceptable on the left? They're letting them do it. It's California. They're terrorists. They're domestic terrorists wearing their version of a hood, this Kaffia thing.

And we're supposed to accept them as being, yeah, yeah, their right to protest. They're domestic terrorists. They should be dealt with like domestic terrorists. That's how it works for me. I agree. I agree. I agree. He already labeled them. So treat them accordingly.

I don't know, man. I, I, uh, Tom, that's you. I was like, I was like, what the heck of him? What? Yeah. So I thought for a second it was your stomach. It's the wire hitting the side. Breakfast time.

You know, you know what it was? You know what it was? It's like, unplug and leave. Tom, Tom, Tom, no, we need you. Stay. Brandon, get out of it. No, but let me tell you, no, because last minute this morning, we chose to do five instead of four,

you chose to come back from Nalba last night and I didn't know if you're going to come back or not so when we changed the five mics it makes it tougher for these guys last minute to do enough QC so I don't want to call out our audio guys because only I can call them out hardcore and they get it right now this is last minute stuff

we love our audio but but going back to it going back to some like this I don't know you know like in families in every family there's that one uncle where you know, say my sister, let's just say, okay, if my nephew is acting stupid. Yes. And he won't.

He's a very good job. No, no, no, no, no. But let's just say, we've all at some point when we were kids, well, not some of us, a lot of stupid, right? Oh, Vinny, yeah. Yeah. Shot a gun at one of my cousins. So, but let's just say somebody's getting out of control.

It's typically the guy in the family that also is sometimes strong personality, but in moments like this, you're like, thank God I got that guy in the family. You know what? Can you go talk to him? And that guy just knows how to handle it, right? Okay. I don't know, man. I think there's a little bit of the crazy guy.

living in a community that knows how to check kids in the right way, it was good for us when I was a kid. Was that that best friend's brother that was a few years older, who could beat the living got everybody? Like that guy, we had one of those guys. Of course. And if God forbid he came around, you're 13, 14 years of like, gosh, hey, hey, hey, you know, I was like, well, hey, right?

I think watching these guys going up. they're doing this to the kids. You're freaking kidding me. Are you, like, there's levels to trying to be a tough guy and being a criminal. There actually is tough guys and criminals that are, oh, geez, like, they'll come out of nowhere and say, what are you doing? Where are you? Yeah.

Where are you? You know, there was a bunch of guys on the leadership of Lexit. I don't know if you know Lexit. Lexit is a Latino exit, yes. I know Jesus. These are Lexit. there's some legit people in the Lexid community who have changed their lives,

they're accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. So they're, but a lot of them are former, you know, gangsters. Gangsters. So I don't know. Like,

I almost feel like, I'm not trying to rally or do anything. I'm just saying. People to go there. People to go there. I'm not. I'm just trying to say, if it's in your community,

it's your city. Like when Armenians. It's your city, bro. Like if you do this to Armenians, Armenians will come out. What happened with the Armenian? They will, bro. Armenians are not regular people. Like, you can't do this to Armenians.

You do that in their communities with their kids. They're like, what are you talking about, right? But anyways, let me just... I'm just going to keep going, guys. This is like a very weird podcast today. Adam... Everything's going to be okay. It's not your fault.

You say one more thing. We're going to have a Jexit in here like that. There we go. Let's talk a little bit of finances, folks. Because the only reason we're doing a podcast today is because... Because Friday, we won't be doing a podcast this week. That's why we're all together here. So Friday, we're out of town.

But let me get to the store here with car payments. Check this out. So more car buyers are stretching out their auto loans, but longer terms comes with tradeoffs. And the reason why we're reading the story is because a story on the same exact day, car repossessions trend shows chilling echoes of 2008 crisis as economists warn of more dominoes to fall. So folks, if you're watching this,

you have a car payment, you're going through it. Rob, if you can put that poll, for those of you that buy cars, just out of curiosity, when it comes on to financing, how many guys are doing 60-month financing, 72-month financing, 84-month financing, or 96-month financing? Rob, just put the 60-72-84-96. I know some people are going to be like, I pay cash, I do 48, I do 36. I'm specifically interested on this here. Just curious to know how. many of people are going to vote. So it's like, I want to finance my car for five years, for six years, for seven years, for eight years, right?

Okay. So let me read this to you. Car reposition trends. Jake is getting upset in her back. Jake is on 108 months. He's like, shit. I got a hundred and twenty-month car finance. I'm paying a payment for another same year.

So car repositions are surging across U.S. at an increasing number of Americans fall behind on their loans, according to data from recovery database, network analyzed by CU reposition repo session. It's projected that over 3 million cars will be repoed in 2025. This would be the highest number since financial crisis. In the final three months of this year alone, the analysis predicts that 820,236 vehicles will be,

repossessed across the country and millions more are at risk of losing their cars as they struggle to keep up with payments. The percentage of subprime borrowers, those would pour no credit or no credit, who are at least 60 days late on their auto loans, was at 6.43% in August. According to Fitch, is where the number was at. Tom, what can you say about this here? So basically what's happening is thanks to inflation, use cars shot up. Remember how expensive they

were? Yeah. And then specific vehicles that were, say, coming off leases, you know, leases, two to three years, those, there was a shortage of those of the ones that were related to higher-end chips that were in the dashboard for all the advanced services in your car. Remember that? Yep. Yep.

So all of that went up. And what happened is a lot of people bought those when those, used cars were very expensive and now it's all coming home to roost as the loans are going bad and also there's a company called tricolor it was a tricolor holdings and it was an empire of um basically auto loans and used cars and what happened do you remember the big short this is not math Benny. Remember in the big short where they all, they talked about, wait a

minute, how can the bonds be trading at par when the assets in the bonds are losing value? All of the home repossessions. They went down to Florida. That's right. They went down to Florida and the scene in the movie where they found the alligator in the swimming

pool and all the deserted neighborhood. And they're like, oh my gosh, the bonds have to be worthless. Guess what? Tricolor gets a phone call from J.P. Morgan and says, we need to talk. And go down to J.P. Morgan, Pat, and they had a discussion. The underlying collateral, the cars, were worth less than the outstanding loans, and the loans were showing up as defaulting. And so we're seeing the same things here. So what we are seeing right now is that the subprime section

of America is having trouble with their car loans, which says that not all Americans are doing as well as the stock market is, and we've got clear signs of affordability issues for the middle class, particularly in subprime and core middle America car loans, as we're seeing here. Default rates, and then a major company goes down. It's a real thing.

Jamie Diamond saying, I'm not going to help you. Yeah, so let me kind of give you guys an example of how this works. So let's just say you get a $50,000 car you want to finance. Okay. You buy a $50,000 car. you know, you put 10% down, which is $5,000, and you finance it at 7%. Okay? So the whole thing we're talking about 60 months, 72 months, 84 months, 96 months, right?

If you go 48 months and you finance this $50,000 car, if you put 10% down, which means you're financing $45,000 at 7%, you're making a car payment of $1,078. If it's a 60-month lease on the same car, you're paying $8.91. Now, keep in mind, Rob, if you go to the story, the CNBC story, and actually visually show this to them, it'd be very good for them to visually see this. So, at 48 months, it's $1,078 with $6,724 total interest. At 60 months, $891, $8,400 interest.

At 84 months, it's $6.79, and you're paying, what, $12,000 in interest? So an 84-month loan ends up costing you $5,000. $40,000 more in interest than a 48-month loan, okay? So if you look at this, what is the first thing you think about when you see this? Bad. I could drive a cool car for $6.79 and look chill. You want to know something about what? That's the payment-based mentality of some consumers.

I tell you, I tell you, I tell you, you could really dance, Vinnie. I love that. Okay, remember. But yel did I'm a hyal of yala, before you're going to do you. Okay. Okay. All right. Sounds good.

So, but I, by my, I zoom in, yala. Help me. Let me tell you. Oh, Yad. Oh, Yalu. Bruno, Bruno. No, not Yalu. So, no.

It stocks. Stay with me. Henry's going to walk in the room. We get upset right now. That's so funny. So, so to me, which one did you do, Tom? I always did the shortest carloans I could because my dad always told me, made very simple thing.

We were a middle-class family. 1300 square foot houses, what I kind of grew up. until we were older and my dad's job. He was telling us. He said, don't pay for it twice. He showed us this. He said, don't pay for it twice. Great counsel. He says, he says, keep your car loans short. Rob, where are you at with this? Keep your car affordable.

Rob. I purchased straight in cash. Have you always been like that? No, that's change. Randy Morris. 2528. Yeah, I had a 2007 Ford Mustang that I bought in 2007. I ended up having I think it was a 60 month loan. You had a 60 month loan, Vinny. You seem like, by the way, Vinny's such a conservative guy the way he lives.

Do you guys want to know the most interesting fun fact about Vinny? We do. I'm being dead serious. You ready for this? He's never had a speeding ticket. No. Really? Never.

Have you never had a speeding ticket? I've never dealt with law enforcement pulling over, no ticket. Would you have ever guessed Vinny's personality? He's never had a speeding ticket. I would have thought he can love it Never got Check the record No he drives so

Really solid But go ahead You know on base You can't mess around on base You can't mess around on base Honestly Pat This is going to bug you out

When I was in the military I bought a car off of a fellow soldier Cash Paid cash It was like a Toyota something You know smaller car Then I bought my motorcycle

I just paid for it You know cash I totaled it But oh shit My mom hears Oh no She didn't I actually can't watch this.

I just have stuff. But no, I never, everything I just paid. By the way, I'm going to make sure my sister does not let her watch this episode. No, and then everything was just always cash. I never wanted to have big payments. I always just paid for it. What about your last couple cars? You had the Toyota cashback thing?

I don't know. Brent, how about yourself? Yeah, cash because my dad knows a lot about cars and fixes cars and stuff. So he would get cars that were messed up that had a problem with it and then do a part swap and, you know, get like a pretty. solid car for a low amount of money. So that's typically the way. Maybe I'm just wired in a different way. I was just like, dude, I'll pay the, I'll go 84 months and I'll pay the 7%

because I think I can make 20% of my money. That was me. That's a dangerous, that's a dangerous game, sir. It's not for everybody. No, no, you're better off going with the 60-monther or the 48-monther, but to me it was kind of like, listen. I know it's, It's not, you know, it's not, but to me, I'm like, okay, can I beat 7%? I can beat 7%.

Oh, wow. Yeah, that was, that was, that was me. I thought I could beat 7%. But again, that is not for everybody, folks. Don't let me be a bad interest. Go 36 months, go 48 months, or go full-on Adam style. Uber lifestyle. Anyway, it's right the end of the podcast. Can you say one thing? No, you cannot say nothing. I'm going to say nothing with cars. I'm going to say it right now. This guy is here forever. Here it is. You know, try to you kids out there.

The most dangerous question that a car salesman can tell you or even someone trying to tell you is how much do you want to pay a month. That's how they get you. Oh, yeah, yeah. You want to pay less a month. Dude, you just paid $100,000 for that $50,000 car over 90 months. Can I make a quick point? Just real quick, I think that there's two different economies going on.

No, no, Brandon, we're done. We're done with the pause. I actually have something interesting to say. Oh, you tell that to him. No, Brandon, I guarantee you don't. More than you. But so, yeah, there's two different economies going on. Like the stock market looks all good.

I know Alam loves it. At all. Sorry. I fell asleep. Yeah, once would have been funny. Go ahead. So, yeah, the stock market looks good, but regular people, I think, have way less disposable income. I think this is a sign of that.

So I think that the whole great economy thing is not so much the case. You're saying the difference between Wall Street and Main Street. Yeah, and Main Street struggling. Yeah, that's how they do. Okay, so let's wrap up the podcast. I do want to do one thing before we wrap up. I want to give a shout out to one of the best-looking 12-year-old studs I've seen in my lifetime. And that is Mateo's son, Giovanni.

Happy birthday champ. Happy birthday. Yesterday sitting with his pops with his dad. And I'm like, what a freaking stud this guy is. Great dad. Great role model. No question about it. Let me tell you.

It's the mom, bro. Relax, dude. It's the mom. God bless her, but if you ever met the mom, she is. She is, though. No, no. She's awesome. She is.

And that's coming from a real mother. She is. Giovanni, your stud, your future looks bright. I can't wait to see what you're going to do with your life, man. Excited about your future. Anyways, having said that, today's what? Wednesday, we will not be doing this again until Monday. We'll miss you.
