PBD Podcast - Trump's 'Shoot And Kill' Order + Ilhan Omar SNAPS | PBD #784

Episode Date: April 24, 2026

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnick, Ilan Srulovicz and Vincent Oshana break down Trump's explosive "Shoot & Kill" order directing the U.S. Navy to open fire — without hesitation — on Iranian boats laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20% of the world's oil supply. Then, the mystery deepening around at least 11 dead or missing American scientists tied to NASA, Los Alamos, nuclear weapons, and classified defense programs — Trump himself said "it's pretty serious stuff" after being briefed by the FBI. And the story nobody saw coming: a Special Forces soldier who helped plan and execute Operation Absolute Resolve — the raid that captured Maduro — was just indicted for allegedly betting $400K on Polymarket that it would succeed.------🧢 BUY 4 HATS & GET THE AUTOGRAPHED PBD PODCAST HAT: https://bit.ly/4vPGn0L🦁 SPONSOR THE VAULT 2026: https://bit.ly/4mFBPpwⓂ️ CONNECT ON MINNECT: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4kSVkso⁠⁠ Ⓜ️ PBD PODCAST CIRCLES: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4mAWQAP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👔 BET-DAVID CONSULTING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4lzQph2⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥃 BOARDROOM CIGAR LOUNGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4pzLEXj⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🇰 KALSHI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://kalshi.com/pbd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💬 TEXT US: Text “PODCAST” to 310-340-1132 to get the latest updates in real-time!ABOUT US:Patrick Bet-David is the founder and CEO of Valuetainment Media.

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

My son's right there. I think I've ever said this before. So apparently, the Teacher of the Year Award and the state of California goes to Katie Porter for giving Gavin Newsom a B on homeless. Nice. Nice. The way she handled it. And Steve Hilton, who is the opponent running as a Republican, came up and said,

I wish I had you as a teacher because I give Gavin Newsom an F. You have to see this clip in the debate. There's a bunch of other stuff that's going on. Apparently, Trump said, you know, I didn't know Israel and Lebanon like each other. Apparently they like each other. They keep saying good things that they're best friends. I think they like each other. So there's a ceasefire there apparently for three weeks, which we'll talk about.

Mike Rable, I don't know what's going on. there with Mike Vrable. Like we almost didn't want to touch this story, but it's everywhere. And I mean the story, not touching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there's definitely a lot of, that's right. There's a lot of touching going on there. Apparently a lot of weird pictures. And apparently even the kid was named Michael.

You know, I don't know if it's named after Vrable or not. A lot of weird stuff over there. It's tough when it's a coach. You know, it's a player. It's one thing. When it's a coach, it's confusing. Remember when Derek Fisher had the scandal as a coach and you're like, dude, you're a freaking coach, right?

Like you're not the player, but the coach. You're supposed to coach the player. Not a game. Not again. And flipping his car on the adventure of freeway in the process. Yes. Well, that's a whole different story. No, it was the middle of the scandal.

And by the way, you know the story with Kobe. They would say Kobe would keep his wife away from Derek Fisher because he knew how Derek was with Matt Barnes' wife. Wow. Kobe specifically kept his wife away from Derek Fisher because of how Derek Fisher was and the reputation he had. He would always find ways to get around. what he called him, Matt Barnes' wife, and look at them now.

Yeah. Speaking of the Patriots, keep you 100 miles an hour on the L.A. freeways for 90 minutes to get to Derek Fisher and to pound him into the ground. Remember this? Yes, I do. I was going to say, keep your kids or your grandkids away from the former coach of the New England Patriots because he likes him young.

He likes him young. Yeah. That was supposed to be funny. That was supposed to be funny. But, like, Tom's joke didn't land. So, Tom, you can take shots at Adam today. When my jokes don't land, I just to the right. I'll get my self.

Historical facts here. The Santas invited Hakeem Jeffries to Florida, and you have to find out why, because they're talking crap back to each other, back and forth. Trump said to shoot down any of these guys that are landing mines in putting minds in the Strait of Hormuz. We'll talk about that.

Starbucks is moving headquarters to Tennessee, and Tom is furious. He's not happy about it. Tom walked in today, I think, a little bit of an attitude, A little bit of an edge and I'm like, keep your frustration outside of this property. And we may have to send him home today. Spain, incredible, incredible thing going on in Spain.

500,000 new customers came in. So I'm calling migrants. 500,000 new customers showed up. And you should see the video. You should see the video what it looks like. And then the folks in Madrid, the state part of Spain, Madrid, they're like, look, we're not with this. What are you doing? They're trying to fight it.

But the Spaniard leader who's a socialist, progressive, says, no, these people deserve a chance. Let them come to our society. They're more important than you are. We should do that. And then there's this video that went viral all over the last couple days of immigration. What's going on with Europe? Vinny has that. We'll definitely show that.

And then what else do we have here? Cal Shee, congressional candidates. There's a clip of the president being asked. So what do you think about this special forces guy? that bet on polymarkets, knowing before you guys were going to get Maduro, he says, well, what side was he betting on? He said, was he betting that we were going to get him or was he betting that we weren't going to get him?

He says, no, he was betting. So kind of like Pete Rose, he was betting for himself. It's a problem if you're not. Bet on yourself. Can you imagine it's like, we're going to get this guy over my dead body. Polymarket. I'm proud of this guy. Of course.

We'll play that clip. We'll play that clip. And then the scientist, terrible, tragic story, Amy Eskridge, Ilan's got some stuff to scientists to show. Very interesting. And Ilhan Omar, just a rough week, man. People have been going to her, you know, asking her questions. And you can see her temper.

I don't have to do shit is what I don't have to do. She cursed? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, she cursed. That's her wrong, guys. That's her wrong. I'm going to call her out on that.

And Ilhan Omar, they made a minor. You know, people make minor mistakes. Not a big deal. They made a $30 million minor accounting. People do that every day, which is all the time, Pat. I stole it fair and square. Yeah, we'll see, Tom, that's flirting with, like, you know, pumped the brakes. Marco Rubio said Iran's soccer players can come in the World Cup and play, but the government IRC is not invited.

By the way, it's going to be interesting what happens there. Can you imagine like RGC is going to say, we can't come? They're not coming. I don't know how that's going to play out. but the world is watching and for some of you guys I want to get World Cup tickets you can find tickets on 10 pro

very reasonable price $2.3 million dollars and we'll give you the link if you guys want to buy 1020 tickets it's just $2.3 million right now Wow. 150 million ain't what it used to be that. It's not buddy.

It isn't. No problem if you want a hospice in L.A. Yeah. If you work at Meta or Microsoft, meta is apparently letting go of 10% their employees and I think Microsoft is letting go of 7% of their employees. And if you're part of meta 8% or Microsoft 7%, and you're a great

Today is Friday, so we're going to have a little bit of fun together as well. I got a clip to show you. about borders that is so funny that event

this girl does a phenomenal job it was so funny that the guy had nothing to say he had to pause for 45 seconds she kept asking him you're going to love the video having said that we got some news here today

So here's what we're doing today. Rob, if you want to play this clip, actually before playing the clip, you order four hats, okay, any of the four hats that we have on our selection on vT.merich.com, and you have to make sure you add the four hats as well as the signed hat.

Go to VeeTemerge.com, place the order for yourself, your wife, your kids, your son, your husband,

give it to them as gifts, or have different ways to wear hats. You've got many different selections. With that being said, let's get right into it. First story, which one do we want to go with? Do we want to start off? Let's just start off with California, Rob. Go to Katie Porter. This debate's taking place.

It's very important because they don't even know who's going to be the governor. And the most difficult thing to be in this situation is the following thing. is when they're asking you, Rob, is this the Katie Porter clip? Yes. Okay, so when they're asking you, hey, you're a liberal, you're a Democrat, you're running for governor, and they're asking you to defend Newsom's record. How do you do it? That maneuvering is super difficult.

Here's Katie Porter. Someone, I think, is made for TV. She's fantastic. She's asked about Newsom's record on homelessness. Listen to the answer. but more importantly, listen to the rebuttal from Steve Hilton. Go ahead. If you were in my class, Mr. Hilton, you would learn in my bankruptcy and consumer protection class

that the majority of homeless people in California are actually working. They're not just people on the streets. It's not just people with mental illness or people with drug or substance use problems. It's also families who are fleeing into the partner in domestic violence. It's people who are double and tripled up. It's people who are living in their cars on our calls. college campuses. Rob, I'm not interested in this schick. I want to know when she gives the grade. There's a clip of her saying the great. That's why I want to get it. Go for it.

Give him on homelessness and what, if anything, would you do differently? You have 60 seconds. I'm a notoriously tough grader, but I would probably give him a B on homeless. I don't think this is a bad and easy problem to serve. But I do give him a lot of credit for calling attention to the problem. When he campaigned eight years ago, he was talking about housing when nobody else was. Wow, by the way, I'd love to be in your club. I'll ask Katie if you get a beef for what Gavin Newsom's done on homeless. It's my goodness. What do you think about that?

How do you handle that situation? When you got somebody, you have to defend this position or not defend the position. What's the right answer if you're Katie Porter? I think Democrats, you know, Katie Porter, the perfect example of just dive into the insanity. There's no accountability anyway. It doesn't matter. I ran away from California because of this was part of the reason there were people going to the bathroom on the streets near my house. and like shooting up.

It's just decayed so far. So you don't have an option. You either dive into the insanity, the delusion, and just hope that people follow along or, uh, because that's just an incredible. What choice is, like, do you answer and say, honestly,

I wish he would have done more? There's a lot of things he did right in the state of California. And there's some things that he didn't do right. He did not do the homelessness right. I'd probably give him a D plus. I think I would expect an answer like that. I like, from her.

I like that because it's like better answer than it be. Because it's like the, The proof isn't the words, talk, number scream. They're screaming. How much money did they spend? $26 billion? And more homeless, like, happened? Like, I don't understand her defending this position.

How important you think this one issue is, remember, two Democrats, not Republicans, because we know where the Republicans are going to be at and the independence. How important you think to the Democrats that they will never publicly say they vote Republican? What do you think homelessness is on the list of Democrats who are reasonable Democrats in the state of California? There are four Californians. The first is the Bay Area. The second is Los Angeles and Orange County, which is two sides of the same metropolis, but Orange County, very different. And then San Diego and then the inland state. In L.A., L.A., everybody on both sides of the aisle are deeply concerned about homelessness. You want to why? Because it's out in front of everybody's

front yard. You're Democrat, Republican, but Dems tend to not push back on that when they're in the voting booth. They're very reluctant to pull back. It's why you have another Democrat socialist leading the polling for mayor of Los Angeles. And let me step back. Real quick, Pat, since Swalwell came out, and we have this debate last night, Hilton is at 20 percent, that's a Republican. Bacera is at 15 percent, and Steyer is at 15 percent. So those are the two Democrats. So it looks like Bacera has picked up all of the, like, 70 percent. of the Swalwell support. Makes sense, Pat?

So now you have Steyer and Bacera, and it appears that Porter, that she's sitting there at 10%. It looks like she's fading a little bit, and last night there, it didn't look good. But what I think, I think what's going to happen in the voting booth, you have overwhelming support in the voting bill

on all citizens for two issues in California, and that is the economy and homelessness. And homelessness is big. It's less of an issue in the Bay Area, but it is a giant issue to the voters in L.A. and Orange County especially. Adam. I'm just surprised that we're using the word homelessness in California, because we all know in California, it's the unhoused. Come on, guys.

Let's have a little respect here. But the point is this, California, remember the scene in white man jump? It's like, you'd rather look good and lose than look bad and win. The difference between what's going on in California is all they're doing is, like, Remember when you were a kid, you were just kind of like pretend to eat your veggies and move it on to this side of the plate, then move it on this. All they're doing is sort of like manufacturing this caring about what's going on in the California economy. They're trying to win this election and become the next governor of California who does nothing. And the reason I say does nothing is because if you look at Gavin Newsom's record on anything, tell me what has he accomplished.

Spent a ton of money. Tell me what is he accomplished. He knows how to spend money on a lot of it. He's got good hair. Great. What else? 62 more feet of the rail. He's spent $23 billion on fixing homelessness initiatives, and homelessness is only got worse. Whatever's going on in California is sort of indicative of what's going on in the Democratic Party. Their entire identity is just attached to the hip of we oppose Trump. They're not getting anything done, so they're just on stage trying to basically manufacture who's going to be the best governor when it's none of them is the answer.

vote for Republican. I just hope because this is a Democrat, Democrat, they're trying to figure out who's going to be the Democrat leader. They don't care. And you make a good point at him. It's just whatever Trump, because they're going to attach everything, Pat, Republican, everything, Trump, same thing,

cut from the same club. That's going to be the talking point. She had an opportunity right here. I don't care who you are, left or right, to look in the camera and go, F, F, this guy is abysmal. I don't care about the party. He has destroyed this freaking state. It's a laughing stop.

He's a laughing stock because all he cares about is Donald Trump. And she could even say, I'm not a fan of Trump either, but she missed that moment at him to just take that stand and be like, you know what? He's horrible. I'm going to do the complete opposite. Because everybody's incentivized to keep these homeless going. You know what I mean? All the money keeps going around, Elon, to come back to their pockets.

And the money's not going anywhere. It's fraud. Well, think about what she said. Think about what she said. She's a tough grader. What does it take to get his seat? And he got a beat. How does one get a stupid?

He was an easy grader. He had an A. No, but those homeless encampments, if she was an easy grader, an A. She gave her husband a P for potatoes. Whoa. So here's what strategy was going on stage there. And then you make a great point. How can she look in the camera and be so disingenuous?

And that's it. Here's why. Because the Democrat big vault that holds the money that she's going to be using to run, part of what she raises, part of it does. If she attacks Newsom on that, she's giving Hilton momentum on that policy point. So she's not going to do it because she doesn't have to defeat Gavin Newsom in the primary. She has to defeat Xavier Bacera in the primary and be one at the top two. That's what's going on.

And they're not going to pick on each other. Did Bacera answer the question, Rob? What did Bacera say? He gave Newsom an A. I'll find that. Oh, my gosh. That's even worse, see? Yeah, but that's good.

The reason why I say that's good. is because to the Democrats, that helps who? That helps Katie. See, I'm not worried about the... This is how I process the election in California, Tom. I'm not looking at converting 100% to Democrats. I'm looking at which one of the candidates is going to get the 1015 reasonable Democrats

that are sick and tired of Democrats that are willing to risk having a Republican for one term to see how it turns out. And the fact that Becerra said he'd given an A and Katie gave a B. To me, Katie wins in that debate in that specific topic. Because me as a Democrat, I'm walking outside, homelessness everywhere. I'm afraid for my kids to go play outside. I'm going to be like, that guy gave an A? That guy gave it. She gave a B. I don't know who the hell she is, but guess what? I'm not going to vote Republican for the rest of my life,

but I would much try. So that helps Katie. But both of them push that 15% reasonable Democrats away to Hilton. That's all I care about. Anyways, let's go to next. Next story. What grade would you give Gavin Newsom? If you were going to give an F. An F. It's not even because the plus minus. Everything with me is plus minus. Every number you ever get judged on to see whether you're doing good or bad is your plus minus number. And what is a plus minus number? Say Tom's always been a straight C student. And he goes from being a straight C student to a straight B student. What's the plus minus? He's gone up 20%. He's gone up one grade. Okay, great.

Say Vinny's a 3A, 3B student, okay? And historically he's been like that for three years. And Vinny goes to straight B's. What happened to Vinny? Yeah, he went down. Who am I celebrating? Yeah. This guy who's improving.

This guy who's basically coasting. Because what matters the most in life and business, politics, anything, it's your plus-minus number. And Newsom's plus-minus number are horrible. When did Newsom become the governor, the state of California, Robin? Can you find out what homelessness was in the state of California then and what it is now? You will see it's nearly doubled, if not up 60%. So his plus minus is negative 60%. That is an F.

There's no place in the world that you're going to get an A, a B, a C, or a D with that kind of a grade. Newsom deserves an F. That's what he deserves. Nothing more, nothing less. And I hope to 15% Democrats in California will give Steve Hilton or somebody else Was Bianco on the stage as well, Rob? I believe he was. He was also on this.

Okay, let's look at that, Rob, if you had it. Take a look at this. Prior to COVID. When he took office, I don't know what it was. So look at that right there. From 151,000 people to 187,000 people in 2024, we don't even know what the numbers. Look at the plus minus.

Jesus. Plus 36,000 people minus 23 per capita. It went from 0.4 to 0.48. Yeah, that's an F. There's no way. You know, to measure, to give this guy an abuse. And that percentage of the population is in densely populated regions, meaning you're looking at all of California,

but the homelessness has increased in specific cities tremendously. So it's a much more significant number. Yeah, investors gave you $24 billion to fix a big problem. You wasted your investors' money of $24 billion, and you didn't fix the problem. Do you think those investors should come back and keep giving you money? Hell no. That's how to look at it.

The investors in this situation are who? Are the taxpayers. Who's the entrepreneur, the leader here? That's him. Newsom. But he's a politician. It's an operator. I know you want to move on.

I think this is important. You know my stance on California. Don't care. I don't mean this literally. Let it burn. Everyone come to Florida. Create a state in the country. No.

But what I do care about California is Gavin Newsom is the front rotor for the Democratic campaign. And when he becomes this mainstream candidate, I don't want people to forget. Look at the horrible. job he did in California. So whether it's Katie Porter or Steve Hilton, my question is this. What should the average voter who generally doesn't care about California take from this story to remember if and when Gavin Newsom is the candidate? So let me give you an idea. I had Dominic Targinski on the other day, a parliament member who, no, from EU, but he's from Poland. Yes, from you,

but he's Poland. So you know what I did? I went out there and I said, let me get some stuff about Poland on what makes Poland great. And I said, why are you guys not talking about this 24-7? And let me explain to what I pulled up about Poland. Rob, you remember this? Just, when you look at the stats of what Poland, if I read this to you, you're going to ask yourself, this is crazy. This is this going to come up or should I go through them? Look at this. You ready? GDP growth in Poland grew 3 percent, EU 1.1. Okay. Unemployment in Poland 3, EU 5.9%. meaning Poland's unemployment is half of EU's. GDP grew 170% since 2004.

Poland has the lowest crime, Adam, you ready? Not in EU, in the world. Wow. In the world, EU, lowest crime. That's what they brag about, okay? Homicide rate, it's a half per 100,000 homicide rate, possibly lowest out of all Western countries. Okay, labor market absorption, refugee, 69% of employment rate for

for them. Foreign direct investment, 2.2% versus 1.5 for EU. I can go on and on with that. Now, let me give you crazier things that EU does, that Poland does, which is going to sound a little weird for you, but I'm going to read it to you. Manitari ID laws, okay? You are required to carry an ID and show to police upon request. In America, that's not a federal law. Hell, you can vote in 15, 16 states without even an ID, right? Drinking in public places is often illegal, unless designated. Okay, Sunday trading. trading restrictions. Retail stores on Sunday, all closed. You know who's open? Gas stations and churches. It's the only place you can go to buy something. Let me continue. Strong restriction

on sex education. There is no sex education to minors in Poland. Great. There is no sex education to Poland. You send your kids to school. They can't teach your kids anything about sex education, right? You'll see where I'm going with this. No same-sex marriage. Definitely no same-sex No same-sex marriage. No same-sex marriage. No same-sex adoption. Adoption. There's only like six countries in the world that have that Christian countries. Romania is one of them. It's not that big of a list. Illegal to promote totalitarian ideologies. You promote Nazism, communism, other totalitarian systems, you're arrested. Illegal to promote totalitarian philosophies. Blasphemy is a criminal offense if you publicly insult any religion or religious symbols. You can't do it. It's a fine or two years in

Now you read this and a person may say what? That is extreme. You know what I told Dominique to do? I said you guys should put this on a page and promote it everywhere. Like the 10 commandments of Poland. Tell the world and by the way you know how much foreign tourists they got last year? What do you think the numbers for Poland? What do you think? Populism. Populism. Tourism coming to Poland. Not within the state moving foreign coming in. What do you think the number is? I don't even know what the... Just take a wild guess. What do you think it is? A couple million. Like to tell you, Croatia, Dubrovna. it gets like a $4 million a year. What do you think there's this? 10?

28 million. Stop it. 26 to 28 million to Poland because it's so safe. Let's go. People got that's beautiful, safe. And so what's the point? Yeah. Whoever on the Republican Party, R&C, whatever it is,

create a one-liner of every single one of Newsom's failures and put it on repeat, blast it, promoted everywhere starting now. don't wait. It needs to be fed to everybody. How many things this guy failed in? Because anything is reaffirmed over and over and over again. Eventually people are going to be like, what the hell am I going to do with a guy like this? So to me... No results is what you're saying.

I think you have to put his resume on blast from the right. I agree. That's the question. That's the solution. Just don't let people forget the failures. If you got good, promote it. If you got bad, enemy, promote it. This is a part you have to promote the opposite with them.

Hopefully we will see. Let me get to the next story. President Trump comes out. Rob, do you have this with the Lebanon and Israel? Yes. He comes out saying Israel-Lebanon ceasefire to be extended by three weeks, okay, by three weeks. And he said, maybe they even like each other. Rob, is this a clip you were talking about?

Yes, sir. Go for it. Well, thank you very much. And I'm told this is a rather historic meeting because these countries have been bordering each other for many, many years. And it doesn't happen much, although they like each other. I found that out today, and I've sort of heard about that. They'll actually like each other, Lebanon and Israel. And we had a great meeting with the very high officials of Lebanon

and very high officials of Israel. And we think that the president of Lebanon and the Prime Minister of Israel over the next couple of weeks will be coming here. They've agreed to an additional three weeks of, I guess, no firing ceasefire. No more firing. Let's see. We hope that happens. It's not going to happen between them, but they do have.

Hezbollah to think about. Amazon presents Jeff versus Taco Truck Salsa, whether it's Verde, Roja, or the orange one. For Jeff, trying any salsa is like playing Russian roulette with a flame thrower. Luckily, Jeff saved with Amazon and stocked up on antacids, ginger tea, and milk. Habaniero? More like habanier, yes.

Save the Everyday with Amazon. Okay, so, Alon, what do you stand with this? I think Trump's hilarious, number one, saying that they like each other. Look, do I think in the future that there's a possibility that Lebanon, once you, you know, have a decay of Hezbollah, that they form better relations with Israel. I would love for that to happen. But not right now. So I think the, you know, look, I think it shows Trump has actual tremendous influence in the region over Israel.

You know, as much as people say, Israel's controlling the United States. Here you have an example where, once again, Trump pushed for Israel to do something, and they listened, they abided. And I think deep down Trump is, you know, this is going to sound weird. Trump came in hoping to create more stability and peace in the region. I think in his own weird way, he's actually accomplishing it. I would really like to see more stability between Lebanon and Israel. Tom.

Well, B.B. Net now, who's never been the easiest guy for U.S. presidents to deal with at all. And you've seen, you've heard things from Trump, you know, hey, we liked a couple of the guys, but they killed them, sort of signaling there is maybe not perfect alignment there with battle plans and stuff. And I think what he's talking about here, I think behind closed doors, you know, some diplomacy got done, and I think they got some progress here. Because if it is truly a three-week ceasefire to put some accords in place, that's good for the innocent citizens that are all over Lebanon, the Christian citizens that are there

that have nobody representing them. You know, rockets in the morning go to the south toward Israel. Rockets in the afternoon go to the north toward Lebanon, and I'm underneath both of them, right? So I think some diplomacy got done, and I think it's kind of funny. Do you know what I'm saying? They've been neighbors for many years.

Yeah, they've always been neighbors. They just moved in five years ago. They just moved in five years ago. Oh, you're moving in. Oh, I welcome. But to come back and say, you know, hey, they like each other. They do like each other.

I think he's trying to put out an olive branch there and he's trying to put a message, Pat. Yeah. I think it's positive. Adam. Look, I think at the end of the day, people are sick and tired of fighting wars every single day, every single year, every single decade since 1948 in that region. And then again, since 1979, I think people of Lebanon are sick and tired of their country being hijacked by Iran. The whole conversation about, you know, Israel controls America. okay, show me some proof, not just some BS,

but you know who actually controls Lebanon, Iran? Because what did they used to call Lebanon? Many, many decades ago? The Paris of the Middle East. When's the last time you heard that? Now it's the Iran of the Middle East, just not the Gulf side of things. The people of Lebanon, and I have a lot of friends that are Lebanese.

We have a friend here who's Lebanese. You know who they hate more than Israel? the IDF, Hezbollah. So, you know, we talked about the other day. You said 80% this conversation had with Kiriaku, where he was just plain wrong. He said, you said 80 to 90% of people leave Iran are sick and tired of the IRGC.

Follow the numbers, follow the monies, the exact same thing going on in Lebanon. And here's the last point. Speaking of follow the money and stability through strength, if you look at your neighbors, right, in the Golan Heights, whatever's covering Lebanon, Syria, that area. If you look over, you look at Israel 50 years ago, the economy wasn't that great. They weren't a capitalist society.

Now you look over from Lebanon, you look over some Syria. Israel is one of the greatest economic booms we've ever seen, especially in the Middle East. Israel is the Silicon Valley of the Middle East. And you're in Iran, sorry, and you're in Lebanon, and you're in Syria and you're Gaza, and you're looking over and you're like, these damn Jews. What did they do? It's like they just worked, earned, saved, and invested. Where you're trying to build terror tunnels, they're building capitalist cities.

And I think the good people of Lebanon, who are some of the worst in the misery index, unemployment and inflation are like, can we just have a normal freaking life and not fight every single day of our life and have a good society for our kids to grow up in? Let's do it. And that's, I think, cooler heads are prevalent. I mean, in regard to the ceasefire, great. anytime there's people not dying is amazing. I just, and I keep going back to what is victory going to be?

Because I don't think the, like, where you have to get rid of the terrorists, okay? So that'll, it'll be a good three weeks, hopefully it lasts, but it will never end. It'll never end, Pat. I get, they already took 20% of the land. But my thing is terrorists, they're always going to be there. So that, that will never stop. Like, well, but Israel has shown its willing to concede land in exchange for true peace. And it's every time it's done that,

either, like I've talked about in the past, it's either been met with sadly retaliation that backfired, or it's been met with sustainable peace when the other side actually wants it. So Israel has come forward many times. Also, I do believe, you know, deep down that the Lebanese Christian population wants better relations. Of course. Of course they do. And Adams is 100% right, that there's a great tragedy in the Middle East, not just in Lebanon, but across the Middle East in general, where there's been a decay of all this opportunity, tons of natural resources, Tons of culture, tons of history. These are places that tourists would love to visit.

And yet because of extremism, which is a fundamental issue across the board in the region, there's a complete decay of virtually every single country, Lebanon, Gaza. Sorry, I'll let you go, Tom. No, I'm not, I'm agreeing. I'm not in an agreement. But I want to ask you, though, what is victory in regard to? Because those extremists are there. By the way, they're not going anywhere.

They're multiplying. I'm just trying, like, I'm trying to be hopeful. Yeah, victory looks. How do you win? It's hard to pull the weeds out of the car. Victory looks like a complete cultural shift, not just in one region, but across the region. You see it in UAE. You see it in a lot of the Gulf states.

They are trying to come back to the table and say there's a way forward where we can integrate with Western societies and see growth in our populations. You know why? Because they're putting a priority for growth, prosperity, and the benefit of their people over religion. Yet in a lot of these other countries and what Iran's motivation is and what Hezbollah's motivation is and Hamas, they've indicated not to only Israel, not to only the entire world, but to their own people, we don't care about you. Our priority is destruction. So, you know, sometimes if you're, if you're enemy or if you're the person you're trying

to negotiate with is starting from the fundamental point of I want to destroy you no matter what, it's very hard. You're asking an impossible question because that's their starting point. So Hezbollah is the problem. And I'm not debating that. I'm just saying like, how do you, like, it's not, but here's my question. Do you think it's going to stop? I do.

How do you get rid of extremists that are everywhere in your country? How do you get rid of that in America? Yeah. That's what I'm... No, no, but you're asking a very weird question because to me, okay, how do you get rid of alcoholics? Go ahead. I mean? How do you get rid of alcoholics?

So many people driving drunk on the 95 freeway, right here, by the way, this exit is number one most people dying in car accidents. Right here, 95 in Cyprus. I don't know if you know. It's the number one place in America on freeways of the most. most fatalities driving is right now. Stop it right here. Yeah. It's number one.

I don't drive. Here's a question for you. How do you get rid of alcoholics, alcohol drinking and driving? How do you do that? I mean, you can't stop people from drinking. So what?

So you can't stop people from, I mean, you want to get people help. You want people to talk to them. You want to put them in a A. How do you get people to stop using cocaine? Stop putting it in the country. Stop getting cocaine in the country.

Stop letting people bring it over the borders and just stop getting it here, and then people will stop if they can't get it here? Will people still find a way to get cocaine? Yes. Absolutely. Will people still find a way to get alcohol? Prohibition, you know, make it illegal, all that.

Will they still find a way to do it? Of course. Of course. So why, though? Because what's going to be constant forever? What will be constant? Human pain. Human beings.

As long as we have human beings, what do we have? We have conflict. Yes. Conflict is never going away. Now, here's a question, though. Can we Should we just say Well nothing's gonna happen

Let's just not do anything Because what kind of a mindset is that To say something like that Or can we say Can we find a way to decrease it by 2% Can we find a way to decrease it by 4% Can we find a way to decrease it by 10% Yes, we can't

And so we're in pursuit of that Right In your family If you think about in your family Does do divorces happen? Yes Does domestic violence happen Yes. Yes. Do people filing bankruptcy happen? Yes. Do people over extending themselves financially happen? All of those things are what? Yes. Yes. Reality. Should we say, well, people are never going to stop doing that, so let's just not even do anything about it? No. No. I think the effort is to try to pursue to decrease. And all you can deal with is who are the leaders today. That's all you can deal with. You cannot deal with who the leaders are going to be tomorrow.

whose son is going to take over one day and be the leader. You know, you have to figure out a way to find a way to make things better today. And this is purely for the reasonable players, not the emotional players. You have to decide which one you are. You're either part of the emotional community or you're part of the reasonable community. The emotional community just wants emotions. The reasonable community wants to find solutions. It's not easy.

It's annoying. It's boring. It's easier to say nothing will ever change. How dramatically, how better you think your mom sleeps today than she did four years ago? A lot better. Why do you think? Because I've changed my life and zero. Give me her peace of mind with you right now.

Oh, her peace of mind knows that I'm surrounded about people that care about me and love me. I've kicked anything that was in my life that was trying to destroy me with, you know, drinking or partying or any of that stuff. I've turned myself to Christ and everything's a lot. How much better do you sleep? A lot better. What if we said it's Vinny? Vinny's always going to be like that. Bingo.

What if we said Vinny's always going to be like that? Meaning... Meaning Vinny's never going to change. Vinny's a womanizer, alcoholic, drunk, just wants to do... That's Vinny. What if people said that? What if people accepted that? It's not leadership.

It's saying no. What if he chooses to change? What if he chooses to make an improvement? What happens to the world? What happens to his mother? What happens to Vinny? It opens it up. I'm a regular guy.

I'm not a guy that went to, what do you call it? I believe nothing. I didn't even go to regular states college. They wouldn't take me that. I barely made it into community college. And community college they let anybody in. So what happened? Somebody believed.

And it was minor progress. So to me, I like the fact that we're working on making minor progress. The part you have to realize, Vinny, is the hardest thing to do. Do you know what eventually gets, what content do you think is more exciting to consume. Divisiveness, nasty, calling out versus somebody that's going out, they're talking about how to improve your life, better your life, you can make a change. What do you think gets more eyeballs? Well, the drama stuff is always going to be the one.

Tony Robbins try to have a TV show. You know how long it lasted? Two or three episodes, NBC. Type in Tony Robbins' NBC show. How long did it last? Because he was positive. Because he was positive. Now, look at Jerry Springer.

How long did Jerry Springer last? It would still be going. year, how long? Because people, look how many episodes he did. Two episodes, only are in two. Tony Robbins, who's changed millions of people's lives, goes and does a show with NBC, the last two episodes until they're like, people are not interested in positive stuff. Yeah, people like drama. People want drama, negativity, conflict, change, all this stuff. So if you can find a way to be part of the community to say, you know what, I think we can do something about it. Great. I think we need more of that. You know, because the world today is so, I'm telling you,

You go on Twitter and you ask yourself, how long can you be on X? If you go on, if you, you know, I'm willing to bet to do this. Put a blood pressure machine that's constantly running on you. And I would love to do it on 20 different people and put him on different platforms. Go on Twitter and go up and read the stories, newsfeed. See what happens to your blood pressure 10, 20, 30 minutes later. I did this to myself, by the way. Then go watch comedy.

then go read the Bible, then go read a self-help book, then go read a business book. See what happens to your blood pressure. The world today is a different world, and we have to be aware of it. But for me, the reasonable players

who are trying to make progress, more power to them. The emotional people that are trying to get eyeballs, you do your thing. The market long term is going to favor who? The reasonable people that always does that.

I fully agree with you, Pat, and if I could just kind of add a little icing on the case, you're absolutely right. How's it going to happen? How's it going to happen? You ask these questions. Well, let's look at some case examples. Look what the guy did, Buckelly and El Salvador.

El Salvador was the most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere a decade ago. And what was the root of their problem? Focus with me now. What was the root of their problem? The criminals. MS-13. Yes. MS-13 is Hezbollah.

They are the cancer in society, where you have 80, 90 percent of society. It's like, can we just live a normal life and not kill each other every day over religious differences or military differences? Can we just do that? And what did he do? He flipped our whole country around. That's hopefully, hopefully what can happen in Lebanon. And why Lebanon? Pat, you would know this?

I don't know if there's another society, civilization in the Middle East that has Sunnis, Shiites, Christians, all types of religions living and working together. And then you have these Shiite radicals saying, nope, we're taking over the country. And this is like, I'm taking my country back. I think the people of Lebanon finally are like, We're done with this. We're taking our country back, and I hope they do.

I'll try it. Okay, if you want to run out. I just wanted to say to Vinny also, in terms of being hopeful, when we see a snapshot of something, even though it might be 10 years, 20 years, it feels like forever. It feels like it's never going to end. But you do see sustainable relations between Israel and other countries in the Middle East that you would have never believed would have happened. The fact that they're sustainable peace.

Bahrain, Oman, UAE, Morocco. Even Egypt back in the day, if you would have looked at the relationship, Jordan and Israel, if you would have looked at the relationship, just the entire Middle East from the start when the Arab League wanted to destroy all of Israel. I mean, yeah, yeah. Well, at the end of the day it's this. I know you want to move on.

Adam, everyone knows Iran's the bad guy. Hang on, I'm moving on. Iran's a bad guy. So let's go through this year. All right, Spain migrants, 500,000 Spain migrants come in. Madrid, the state comes out and Madrid says, where's that page, Rob? Let me see what we're going to. Okay, 24.

Madrid government appeals against Spain's mass amnesty for illegal migrants that are coming in. 500,000 people like, let's take them. Rob, do you have that video? of what it looks like. Yes. Okay, let's go through a couple videos. And Vinnie, I think you got something here as well. Go ahead, Rob.

This is Spain. It's the family and friends event at Shoppers Drug Mart. Get 20% off almost all regular-priced merchandise. Two days only. Tuesday, April 28th and Wednesday, April 29th. Open your PC optimum app to get your coupon. Looks like fun. I'm not going to lie.

Hispania. Where are they coming from? Do we know? Northern Africa. Yeah, they said sub-Saharan Africans coming to Spain. So that's one of the clips. What's the other one that you have, Rob? Here's a newscast where they're talking about the migrants overrunning and overwhelming the government system. Go for it.

A massive line of immigrants wrapped all the way around this fairground. 500,000. And as you can see now, this is the scene. Most of them are gathered right here inside. They tell us they've been sleeping on the street and tensions have flared, even leading to clashes as no. No one wanted to lose their spot. This is the space that the city council has set up. Can you imagine that in Spain?

And this is outside of the foreign registry office where people are getting registered as citizens. Go for it. This is crazy. This is Spain. Yeah. Was Spain. This is Spain.

Okay. So now when you look at this, you know, Madrid's government appeals against Spain's mass amnesty, the Supreme Court of Spain on Wednesday accepted an appeal request spearheaded by Isabelle Diaz, Ayuso, president of community of Madrid, against a mass amnesty plan for illegal migrants being executed by socialist government and Prime Minister of Pedro Sanchez,

Miguel Angelo Garcia-Martin, Minister of Presidency of Madrid, and a local government spokesperson explained on Wednesday press conference that the Madrid government filled the appeal against a mass amnesty decree on grounds that it seriously affects the provision of public services in Madrid

without establishing mechanisms for funding and resource allies. So they're sitting there saying, can you please allow us to have other options? Rob, play that one clip that Vinny has, the one that shows. You want the EU one first, man? This is illegal immigrants in the European Union coming in. Guys, each dot, it's a hundred people. Each little dot that you guys are going to see, look at this.

That is bonkers. Look at that freaking invasion, bro. Syria, 200,000. Look at the Syria, Morocco. It keeps switching from 2019. and then look, boom, nine, 10. Look, that's, and remember, each dot is 100. And it's saying where they're coming from.

So go back to the clip to see what the countries are, Rob. Go back and if you can slow down the speed, do me if ever, if you can go to half a speed, yeah, click on it. So Albania is first, Afghanistan, Morocco, Algeria, then Tunisia comes in Pakistan, bumps, and Afghanistan becomes number one. Where they're coming in from, Syria, Syria, Syria, Iraq becomes number one. Eritrea, Iraq, Iraq, Syria, Syria, Syria, Iraq. Syria. top. Is this all to the EU or to Spain's EU? This is bonkers. And do you know where, not one went to Poland?

Yep. Not Hungary. It's also pretty hardcore. Not one went to Poland. Just so you know. Tom, your thoughts on this with Spain, half a million, Madrid, what they're talking about, what it's going to look like. How much is Spain changing forever? Will it ever be the Spain that we went to 10, 20, 30 years ago? No, it's over. And this is what the globalists want. The globalist want to break the back of the Western states, and they want to break the traditions of the Western states, specifically Christianity and Catholicism, specifically. Because if you break family and you break the foundation of faith by overwhelming the voters that are no longer voting on the base of those foundations, then by definition, you broke it. And then what you lose is culture. Culture is loss

through dilution. You have more people there, and you lose your culture. Number one, if you're being racist. No, I'm not being racist. It's not racist if you live in Poland and you like living in Poland and you're Polish and you work there and your kids went to school there and everything works and it's safe and it's a well-run country. What's racist about that? And then this is what the globalists want. The globalists want to flood it so that they get permanent, liberal. See, how do the globalists get stopped, Pat? By patriots. And patriots by definition are conservative-minded the name of their country, right? Not racist patriots.

So here we have patriots that want things to be the same, but guess what? You are outnumbered by a permanent voting majority, and that is what the globalists want, because they want a globalist government, they want one-world government. Elon. They want one-world control. That's it. Well, I think on Tom's point, there's been a unity between radical leftists and radical Islamists. The question is, who's going to win in Europe?

looks like the Islamists are the ones winning, not the globalists in the end of the day. It's really tragic to see Spain falling to this, one of the most beautiful places in the world. And what you talk about culture and preservation of culture, preservation of the, I don't think it's wrong for a country. And I know this is controversial to say, to say we're a majority Christian nation. We want to stay a majority Christian nation. I know that a lot of people are offended by that. I don't have a problem with the Middle East, the countries like Saudi Arabia, saying we want to stay majority Muslim. I guarantee you if Christians started pouring into the point.

of creating a majority Christian nation, they would cut it off pretty fast. But this is the game that leftist plates will accuse you of being a terrible person so you concede to what we want. Meanwhile, migrants are coming in. The rape statistics out of these places are atrocious. Atrocious.

And like they're trying to cover up for it. Cover up for it. It's a game of power at the expense of the population. It's tragic. Pat, I want to ask you, make the argument for the people that are letting it happen. The leaders of Spain, the politicians, give me an argument of how they could say,

You know, this is good for us. These bolts of people that have nowhere to go, all your taxpayer's money is going to pay for it. What's the argument for them? These poor people. It's our job to take care of them. We can help them out. We have room. We have space.

We can figure out a way to support these people. There is nothing wrong with that. You know, we should be able to do this. There's a clip I want to show you, Rob, that girl who's talking to this guy who's saying, you can't come here and ask us question. She says, why not? Watch how quickly the hypocrisy comes out. If you can refresh and play it from the beginning rap,

I want them to see this and then turn on the audio because Instagram has this one thing that... You have to see this clip. Watch this. Go ahead. You all to get out of here with your sign. What do you mean? Oh, you have borders on this campus.

No, we have this space reserved as an official event. Yeah, so you have borders. Where's your borders at? This whole green area right here. So you want to control who comes in and out. Uh-huh. Like an ice agent or a border patrol agent. Oh.

He's a love for having. Now he has no clue what to say. I would really encourage you. you on a rally on a campus is an event for sanctuary campuses you probably shouldn't act like a fascist border patrol agent you should take down your borders and let whoever wants on the space okay amazing look at his hat it's a lobster hat why is your lip quivering I want to go to red lobster now because he got got got you got because you've been called out on how you're acting exactly like how you don't what you're

advocating against you're acting just like them nothing This interview is over. There's no answer. Not a been. Great hypocrisy on this campus. Put your money where your mouth is. Leave me alone and let me have sanctuary on this campus, okay? We need y'all.

And that's just an indoctrinated. They have, like, that's when your brain goes, wait a minute. I'm what, you don't know what to do. But this is why girls like her, Nick Shirley, what they're doing. Is it Nick Sorter is the other one? Is it Sortor? Is it Sortor? There's another one.

Nick Friedman? Yeah. Oh, Nick. No, Nate. Nate. Nate, Nate. These guys are doing such an important job of going out there talking to these guys. Adam, where do you have with this story?

So we're focusing on Spain, but I think we're, you know, there's a bigger picture going on here that we're not discussing. And it's the whole open border to the third world for wherever you are in the world. So in America, it's shutting down the border, right? And in the EU, it's basically opening up all the countries to what's going on from the importing the third world. There's two speeches I want you to pay attention. to and this comes back to Trump. Everything comes back to Trump. Come back to Trump.

When he came down in 2015, you talked about the rape, the crime, to this and that. What's the speech you gave? He said, when Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're drug dealers. There's rapists. There's criminals. And I guess there's some good people, right? That's the exact

same thing he gave this speech to the UN I don't know, six months ago. And I said, pay attention. This is one of the most important speeches he's ever given. People were like, yeah, whatever, it's dismissive. He basically said, Europe, what are you doing? He says, my family, I think is Scottish, is from Scottish descent.

He goes, I have great respect. I have great profound love for the people of Europe. Don't do this to yourself. This is the suicidal empathy you talk about. And we just saw a case example of a guy. He froze. I mean, he Mitch McConnell. He's like, oh, what?

You got God. Because you ever see the things where it's like, we should let people in the country? Yes, of course. We got to let them in. Get out of people. All right, would you let him in your house? Oh, yeah, my roommate.

I have a small apartment. You understand. I live with my parents. So it's rules for thee, not for me. That's what it is. And by the way, have you seen the number of rapes in England, Wales in 2000 versus today? Have you seen those numbers? I'm sure it's skyrocketed.

Okay, so let me show you this. England, 2000, Wales, total rapes, 8,593. Today, over 68,000. Rapes. Germany in 2000. 8,133 rapes. Today in Germany, 39,000. France, rapes in 2000, 7,500.

Rapes in France today, 42,400. Rapes in Poland in 2000. You ready? 2,399. You know how many rapes in Poland today? 1127. It's split in half. It split in half.

They never lies. It never lies when you see what's going on. So we're going to see what's going to happen. By the way, I went to Spain. First time I went to Barcelona, Spain was in 0708. And we went to Madrid. I've been to Madrid multiple times. We went to Madrid.

We went to Barcelona. We went to Portugal. And we went, if we stayed at the arts hotel, we went to just an amazing, beautiful place. Yeah, it's obviously a different story today with what happened to it. It's tragic. Could I show, I know we showed the EU one? Can Rob play the 15, what, 15 million illegal aliens were allowed into our country, it looks like? This is under Biden.

This is under Joe Biden. and Alejandro Mayorkas, this is an invasion, guys. And every dot, remember, every dot is 100 people. And this is what they did. They did this on purpose. And Trump and Tom Holman have proven this was clearly by design. Okay. So my opinion is that this was actual treason.

This is on some, like, Trojan horse letting them come in. And this is why exactly I tell people, as much as the fluff in his hair out and we make fun, you cannot let the Democratic power come back, or people come back in the power. because that's the first thing that they're doing. They even said it. Oh, yeah. Like, what did a, what's that little old bald guy? James Carveille.

We're going to open a damn board. That's exactly what they're going to do. You know what the difference is? Here's a big difference. And look, I'm not with it at all whatsoever. We came here legally, and we tried to come here in 84, illegally, and we couldn't get here until November 28, 1990. And we waited until we got here legally, right?

Green card, I joined the military, the whole nine. If you go back to that, Rob, the, the number of 2020 to 2024, what Vinny just gave you. You know what is interesting about that number? Look at this. Look where they're coming in from. Okay. Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, Cuba.

What's their religion? They're Catholic. Yes. What do Catholics do? Pray. Go to church. They're great for society. Yes.

You're not getting, it's, in, it, I'm not supporting illegal immigration whatsoever. This is, it's breaking the law. These are 15 million people that broke the law, right? But at least they come and they assimilate. Well, at least they come and they assimilate. At least they come and they're going and contributing. This doesn't mean they're not sending their cartel.

This doesn't mean there's not gangsters and criminals. No, not at all. That's not what I'm saying to you. But at least these guys, by the way, for 2024, what may end up backfiring on Democrats as the following. What happened to Hispanics in 2024 election? They voted for Trump. What happened?

So you realize this is going to sound very weird on what I'm saying right now to you. When we're looking at the comparison between the two, this man that backfired on Democrats long term. A hundred percent. Because you're bringing in a population that cares a lot about God. They love America. They love God. They're conservative. They're living good lives.

You know, do you ever see an Hispanic mother what they do to their kids? The kids fear, it's a very different thing that they have. So I don't know. I'm not saying. I think we go through the whole process, everything that they're doing. but the reality of it is it's a very different values and principles that are going into Europe than those that are coming here. 100%. Those that are at least coming here, they are dying to come here.

It's like a dream to come here. They want to go change. And a part of the benefit, which is unfair to our competitors, we live in the Western Hemisphere, which are neighbors, relatively, they are all same religion for the most part. Tell me what's a Muslim nation on the Western Hemisphere. No, it doesn't exist. Dearborn. No, but give me a country, though.

That's it. It's the only place. Can I agree with you, but give you a little bit of pushback? Yeah, of course. I do agree with you on the assimilate thing. Or I do agree with you on the religion thing. The assimilation thing is a slippery slope, and it's tricky. Because some of my frustration in Miami, and I love Miami, I love my henthe, my Cubanos. Do you know how many Cuban people I know in Miami that have been here for 10 years, 20 years, 50 years?

Zero English. Zero English. By the way, you can go. into California. I'm sure there's Mexicans in Texas. But here's the difference. They work hard. They keep to themselves. They drive the Uber. They work. And some

try to improve and get better in life. Respect to that. You know, they say you're only strong as your weakest link. The same people who are coming to Europe for a better life, supposedly, the weakest link are terrorists. Full-on terrorists. So they're coming in

to London, to Paris, to Brussels. They're doing this. And they're not trying to assimilate, they're trying to dominate. I'm going to move on. I'm going to move on. I'm going to move on to the next story. Okay, next story I want to get into is Trump telling anybody that is landing, putting minds in the straight of Hormuz to shoot him down and kill him. I don't know the exact words he used, but Rob, I'm sure you're going to find it. This story, what page is the story, by the way? And there's a, I'm trying to see where the story is at that he's talking about. That is page seven. Trump issues shoot and kill order.

Is this addendum or is it? Main packet. Okay, so let me go through Trump issues, shoot and kill order in a dramatic Hormuz escalation as Pentagon Post chilling video of U.S. troops seizing ships carrying Iranian oil amid unraveling ceasefire. Rob, if you want to, oh, this is it. Okay. I've ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boats, small boats, though they may be, their naval ships are all 159 of them at the bottom of the sea. that is the putting mines in the water, in the strait of hormones.

There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine sweepers are clearing the strait right now. I'm here by ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level, thank you for your attention to this matter. Okay? So he's saying this. And Rob, I think you've got a clip on this one as well if you want to play the clip. I do.

It's the seizure of the ships by the IRGC as well as the United States. Right, because both are saying that they seized it, right? So play both of the clip. And then Tom, I want to come to you first. Here's the U.S. first. Go for it. We intend to conduct the boarding of your vessel. Here's who to who.

United States to Iran. They're seizing an Iranian ship? Cargo ship. Cargo ship, okay. Okay, and then flip it and do the other one. Rob, two minutes and ten seconds. But this is Iranians. It is.

And what do we know about the ship? Here's this is the part that everybody's been showing online right here. Them getting into it. it. These are Iranians. Yep. According to the IRGC. Yeah, it looks like a staged, like a bad production video. Does it look like a real video or does this look like an AI video?

No, no, I'm saying it's like a camera guy. Up close shot. He probably did like three or four takes. They're like, look scarier. You're not as scary as the guy before you. I think I have your head sock to be dirty. Right to the camera a little bit. Cut. You didn't say Allahwap but cut.

Cut. Go ahead. Tom. You're holding the guy. backwards. So the Daily Mail is typically a conservative, it leans conservative, right? It leans right wing and things about nationalism and it talks a lot about that. So when the Daily Mail is saying Trump is shoot to kill in dramatic Hormuz escalation,

wow, what is more escalating than we've been spending a month sinking Iranian ships? That's what I don't. And post chilling video. chilling video, bad guy gets shot, is suddenly a chilling video. So I'm kind of disappointed in the Daily Mail, but what this says, Pat, is daily mail is part of this growing, cheering that's coming, that's saying, we want this war over, we want all this stuff done. But the point here is they're putting minds. Let's look at what everybody's getting upset about. The Iranians last week said, I don't know where the minds are.

I lost my minds. Where? I've lost my mind and I've lost my minds. I don't know. I don't remember where I put them. It says, gosh, you know, where are they? And now this week they come in, and they're putting little boats in specific areas and putting new mines down. Really? So you're not worried about that little boat going over and accidentally running to a mine that you forgot where it is.

And he's going over there what I talked about before. Remember the southern lanes? The lanes that go tightly around the horn there. And those are together. The lane that goes this way, the two-mile buffer in the middle, and the lane that goes that way. and then they've moved them all the way up to be close to Iran, where they could also have a toll booth. So what's going on here is Trump is doing exactly what he should be doing

to keep international freighters with unarmed sailors that are just taking goods and oil back and forth, Pat. And Trump is saying, hey, if you're putting more mines out there and you're trying to do this, shoot to kill. You're an enemy combatant and you're armed with a mine, which makes you a soldier, which makes you an enemy, which makes you a target, which makes you on the really short end on the actuarial table. And so...

Elon. No, it's exactly as Tom said, it's become a binary. You're either for what's happening or you're against what's happening. And if you're for what's happening and what Trump is doing in Iran right now, and you believe it was a viable action to go in at this time, then what he just said about the mind and everything you just said, Tom, is absolutely correct. If you don't, you're going to have a problem with any action Trump takes. My question to people is, what burden of proof at that?

this point, would you be okay with for our continued presence in Iran? I mean, they've proven they've enriched uranium past 60%. Scientists have come out and said they were developing enough to have nuclear power, nuclear bombs. They lied about their intermediate range ballistic missiles. They lie about virtually everything. And as much as people say, this is going to be World War 3. I've heard that a million times. This is how you prevent World War 3. So I think the fundamental binary here is I'm okay with what we're doing in Iran right now. I don't see that this is so controversial to take out people who are literally mining a straight. So that's where I'm at with it.

Benny. No, I mean, I agree. It's like at this point, we're past the point of no return. And it's a war. And in war, you want to win. I saw somebody in line that was literally, literally cheering for us to lose, meaning us losing American soldiers. And I get, guys, we could argue all day. I know the people out there, I'm like, what the, I get it. We've already had those conversations. But where we are right now, if you are cheering against us. That means you're okay with American soldiers dying. I'm sorry. That's a stupid attitude. And he's right. And by the way, that video, that reminds you of some of those videos that ISIS and then were making of like fake, like doing this video, you know, where they

were taking hostages. It wasn't hostages. They were actually. The little missile robot thing that came to Trump's golf course. Remember that? Yeah. Yeah. It's going to scare people. So it's like, it's crazy. Like, yeah, you have a boat that's going to be dropping minds. We're going to, it's going to, we're going to blow you up. I'm sorry. That's where, that's where we're at. So to me, word that I keep thinking about when I'm talking about this thing around is the whole point of a chokehold right so there's choke holds and there's choke points Hormuz the straight of Hormuz which no one basically ever heard of until six months ago when this conflict really got going trade of Hormuz is one of the top five choke points in the world right straight of Malacca you talk

about the Suez Canal you talk about the Panama Canal 20% I believe of the world's oil comes through energy comes through this. What United States is doing, we went to the UFC fight the other day, what United States is doing is basically they came from behind Iran and they have them in a full on chokehold. And they're choking them out. What's the

thing that Joe Rogan is, he's got him in a rear naked choke cold, he's going to choke him out. That's what they're doing economically. But here's the rub. Timing matters here. Because as you're choking them on, how much money are they losing a day? $500 million. $500 million. $500 million. Do some quick

math, so that's a billion dollars every two days, that's three billion dollars a week, that's, you know, over $10 billion a month, choking them out, choking them out, choking them out. And then eventually they're going to not have any money. Now, Trump has to do this strategically and methodically and with enough time for him to recover before the midterms. So I think you need to have at least the summer to build up to the midterms because Trump maybe understands that he can still win the midterms. I'm not writing them off yet.

If Trump can basically say we won, we've choked them out, look at us now, you know, who was right, who was wrong, Vinnie was right about one thing. Their entire association is they're rooting against Trump. The Democratic Party or the woke right, the trans right, whatever you want to call them, they're rooting against America at the end of the day. They want our military to lose. They want Iran to win. That's the problem I have.

Let me choke him out. Let me get into this story here. So this is a very interesting story of how bad policies pushes good people away from your city. Rob, do you have the clip of Mamdani saying what he's going to be doing to Ken Griffin's house? And then King Griffin responds back now. He responds back at Mamdani. If the audience, if you haven't seen this, this clip is, this guy says, we are no longer going to let billionaires having penhouses here that they no longer live in. And here's what we're going to do.

We're going to tax the rich on. Second properties that they have, and then King Griffin responds back in a very simple way. Hey, no problem. You think that's a lot of money for me? Watch what I'm pulling away from New York. But first, watch the socialist, communist, communist Islam, Mammani, mayor of New York City, giving his pitch on taxing the rich. Go ahead, Rob.

When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich. Well, today, we're taxing the rich. I'm thrilled to announce we've secured a pit-a-taire tax, the first in New York's history. This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth. more than $5 million whose owners do not live full-time in the city. Like for this penthouse, which hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin bought for $238 million. This peer-to-taire tax is specifically designed for the richest of the rich. Those who store their wealth in New York City real estate, but who don't actually live here.

But even so, they're able to reap the huge financial rewards of owning property and, dare I say, the greatest city in the world. And most of the time, these units are sitting empty, since again, they don't actually live here. This is a fundamentally unfair system that hurts working New Yorkers. Now, it's coming to an end. This tax will raise at least $500 million directly for the city. It'll help fund things like free childcare, cleaner streets, safe for neighbors. As mayor, I believe everyone has a role to play in contributing to our city.

And some, a little bit more than others. Happy taxing. So you can pause that right there. Okay, so that is Mr. Tax Guy who wants to come in tax. to Ken Griffin, who left Chicago. I believe he left Illinois, if I'm not mistaken. Chicago, you're a very wealthy guy. You know, moved to Florida.

Move to Florida. He's building a big place, big property, Miami, yes. And I think he's got something in Palm Beach, yes. He turns around and says, oh, okay, so this is what you want to do. He is appalled after Meramam Dani spotlighted his Manhattan house in a viral video announcing a new P-tier tax and the hedge fund titan signaled he might even yank a six. billion-dollar development project that he's a part of in a video last week. I think you may have that video, Rob. When Mamdani was talking about this, it was a 24,000 score foot property that he

owned on, you know, the address is public, $238, $238 million that he bought in 2019, the most expensive home in the country we've secured. He is explaining the tax. Rob, do you have a clip on Griffin? I do not. You put yellow here. So is that, is that Mamdani's video? Yeah, I'm sorry. That It was Mom Donnie's. Okay, got it. So, by the way, when he's talking about something like this, Griffin, whose network is estimated it would be $50 billion, wasn't a mute.

A top executive at his hedge fund sent a company-wide email Thursday afternoon, blasting the mayor's comments and hinting at a potential reversal on a massive Midtown project ready for this. We're about to commence that redevelopment of 350 Park Avenue, creating 6,000 highly paid construction jobs and supporting the creation of more than 15,000 permanent jobs in Midtown, New York, growth chief operating officer Gerald Beeson in an email obtained by the post. The project, if we move forward, will until more than $6 billion of spending.

So a dumb policy that he comes up with could end up costing 15,000 New Yorkers, a job, permanent job, and 6,000 construction workers in New York. Double dumb. Tom, your thoughts on the story. Well, guess what? Do you remember when Bloomberg went out and said, we're going to make flipping burgers not a, there's this quote he had, and I'm going to butcher it here. We're going to make flipping burgers not dishonorable.

We're going to make it a living wage. And he said, this is what we're doing, the minimum wage at fast food. Remember that? And so do you also remember how quickly McDonald's put in ordering kiosks that eliminated jobs at those McDonald's? You still had people making food and everything in the back. but it eliminated, my understanding, was about seven counterworkers per McDonald's because they don't all work at once. It was like three at a time work and they're all on shifts. Congratulations.

Capitalism always wins. Money finds, you know, as they say, water finds its own level. You know, whenever there's a leak in the house, they say water will find the level point. Guess what? Capitalism always finds its own level. And if you want to sit there and you want to make socialist policies, unless you're going to be so dictatorial, Unintensive consequences are going to come back on you and they're not going to be good. And so you think everybody's going to stay put under this kind of leadership?

You think they're going to stay put under this tax? Ask Bloomberg what happened. He always denied it. Always denied it. But he caused kiosk acceleration to come to New York City. And this is going to cause people leaving to also accelerate. Yeah. And again, it's common sense.

But by the way, Tom, isn't Hockel almost flirting with the idea of support? him on this idea? Rob, don't you have a clip where Hockel is almost thinking about supporting him? Tom, we talked about this two days ago. Yeah, Hockel is stuck. She needs votes and she needs supports, but she's trying to run this balancing act because she doesn't want to be the one that pays the bill

because then she's going to have to raise tax on all New Yorkers living in the outlying areas in the state. Get it? Because somebody's got to pay for it first. Is this it, Rob? Yes, sir. Go for. Watch this. She's went with the second home thing.

Watch this, folks. Go ahead. ...posing a common sense surcharge on high-value second homes in New York City, homes that many cases sit vacant for a large part of the year. We have the inventory. They're part of our skyline, but those people are not part of our city. You know what? Translation. Oh, he's not? If you've got more, they want more.

You know what is crazy, though? Like, you know what state has? has more of this than any other state in America as a second home, the one we're in. Yeah. Florida. And what do they say? You know what DeSantis is doing, by the one? I got to tell you, Descentes, man, if he gets a good marketing team behind them,

DeSantis, what he's doing right now, he said the revenue for real estate, property tax, went in the last five, six years from $30 billion to $63 billion that they're collecting. He says, we don't need that additional $33 billion. Wow. So DeSantis is sitting out there saying, hey, if you're living from another place and you're here, pay the property taxes. I'm okay with that. DeSantis doesn't want to hurt them. But DeSantis is saying, let's reward the homestead people.

So imagine if he, this is like Mamdani saying, fair, he's going to pay the property taxes, Ken Griffin and all the rich people that have $5 million homes. But New Yorkers that are here, homestead, you don't pay any taxes. But they're not going through incentive. It's punishment, punishment. Yeah. Punishment versus Florida's like, let's incentivize young people to not have to pay taxes or homestead people. It's a very different mindset. Elon.

Yeah, and you want people like that in your state. You want people who are going to invest massive amounts of money into property, not use the systems, not have to take advantage of welfare. You know what I mean? All the benefits that people want, they're not using those benefits. And they're coming in and putting a ton of money, a ton of development. It's his ideology, you know, over reality. And I don't understand how socialists don't pick up on it. It's the most confusing thing in the world to me.

We're time and time again, they go, oh, we have to raise minimum wage, and then you see the decay of jobs or in a situation like this. And I love what DeSantis said, that people who own a home shouldn't have to pay high property taxes. That's the exact right approach. You incentivize people to own homes, but you also bring in economic growth and incentivize investors. How much, so Ken Griffin's House, Penn House is $238 million?

What's the tax? Do we know the number of that? Yeah, the property tax. doesn't stop and the homeowners association doesn't stop. So guess what? 5% of that time. The dormant's employment doesn't stop. The people that were paid to clean the building, window washers,

their employment doesn't stop. None of that stops whether you live there or not. And the fact is he's there a considerable part of the time because he's part of Citadel. And so I mean, come on. And I want people to understand, sorry to cut you off your line. I want people understand. You bust your

butt. By the, Ken Griffin didn't inherit money. He busted his butt, became a freaking... And he was between $2 to $3 million. He's paying property tax on that... Every year? Every year? So they want to add another tax because he's not there or whatever, which is going to be astronomical. You already know that. Right, $10 million. But you bust your butt, you become successful, you're creating jobs like you talked about.

And now the mayor of this town is shamelessly looking in the camera and saying, we're going to tax you. And again, saying, I'm going to give it for free this, and free health care for illegals that are going to come here. I'm going to incentivize, Pan, it goes back to the, you know, either Christian or Muslim, I don't care what religion they are. If you're going to, if you find out that you're going to get free everything, why wouldn't you want to? I'm coming and I'm bringing everybody on.

By the way, I'm going to have babies here too. I'm going to anchor myself here so this baby has to be here. I think it's absolutely disgusting. And it's happened. How long has he been in charge, Pat? Who? Like, Mamdani? Little over you, you're right?

It's January. No, no. Has it. Is anything going to happen? Because all these plans that he's talking about are going to take a while. Meanwhile, if Hockel supports it, if Hockel supports it and Hockel fears AOC, Hockel has to support him. Oh, man. That's going to be the problem.

If Hocal fears AOC, AOC, because AOC has who's back? They're all Marxists. So that's the problem that he has. I'm just lost by how, again, they don't see the economic consequence. Do they not? They can't be that dumb. So there is something intentional going on. That's my question.

That's what drives me crazy. What is it? What? Give me the sales pitch. It's the Marxist's socialist path to asset seizure. Yeah. This is step one. Did you see him going into the pad?

There was a video, Rob. He might be able to find it. He was going to people's houses and going in and they were inspecting stuff. It's funny that you say that time. I just saw. I know Adam, you want to say something. Rob, if you can find it. Mom, Donnie was going to people's apartments.

Well, imagine you're a successful millionaire, billionaire, or whatever, and you open up your ex account, your Instagram, and Zora and Mamdani is in front of your house being like, look at this rich bastard over here, we're going to tax the rich. And you're Ken Griffin, you bought a second of place in New York. You moved your whole business from Chicago to Florida, you know, for a lifestyle, aka taxes, and there's Zorn Mammani calling you out. You've just made an enemy of a $50 billion guy, not only him.

Any billionaire in America is like, dude, not only am I not, am I maybe going to move out of New York, I'm not going to build anything in New York. So to call out Ken Griffin for a $238 billion, million dollar apartment, you're going to potentially lose how much money in investment? $6 billion. Forget about the $6 billion. This is the definition of putting your nose off. What's worse than $6 billion is the $15,000 permanent jobs.

Bingo. By the way, $15,000 permanent jobs at what price point you think it's going to be time? 150,000, 125,000? For sure. They'll average that. They'll average that. You have an analyst at $80,000, but you're going to have a bunch of... No, New York, it's going to be more than that because it's going to be $150.

Remember when Amazon was trying to move there and AOC? AOC was like, what are you doing? Be quiet. It was 25,000 jobs at $150,000 a year. And Bezos is like, you know what? We won't go to New York City. We'll go elsewhere. Somebody else is going to take those jobs.

It's double dumb what he's doing. And behind closed doors, I wonder how many people. People are sitting there saying, well, you know, I don't know if this is a good idea. We got to kind of make a move. You're not hearing a lot of the complaints are happening, but not at the levels where people are worried about it yet. I haven't seen it at that level. Do you remember what Kathy Hochle said a couple weeks ago?

She's like, hey, guys in Florida, come back to New York. We need your tax. Yeah. So which one is it? So we'll see. We'll see what's going to happen there. Let me get to the next story here. Next story is Starbucks.

So Starbucks apparently is thinking about moving their headquarters to Tennessee. This is a story that's really upset time, so I want to read this to all of you guys. Seattle could lose $750 million as Starbucks expands in Tennessee, adding 6,000 jobs, but they're struggling to persuade woke workers to move from Seattle to a new headquarters in Tennessee. So can you imagine because Tennessee is not going to be. going to be. By the way, I wonder how much Tennessee is excited about the woke workers moving to Tennessee. So think about the issue there. Rob, what clip is this? This is a newscast from Seattle talking about the move. It's two minutes and 52 seconds. They jump right into it. Okay, go for it. Go for it.

Preston, make no mistake about it. Starbucks has been looking for office space outside of Seattle for months now, likely frustrated by a Seattle mayor that has been appearing at protests outside stores, the labor unrest within Starbucks and its stores, and the higher tax. that have been approved in Washington state and the city of Seattle. I am told that Starbucks has been actively looking for office space in Bellevue, but has now pivoted to the volunteer state and the lower tax threshold there. It is a company synonymous with this skyline. So you can pause it right there.

You can pause it right there. So we know what the story is. Tom. Why is it such a big deal? Well, it's a big deal because there's two stories in the middle of this. Story number one, once again, a blue state puts public policy in place. they're about to get the consequence of a tax base moving out. First of all, the company moves its headquarters. Second of all, and by the way, the company's registered headquarters has a lot to do with

income tax in the state, and there's no income tax for citizens in Washington. But the unintended consequences, you're about to lose all these jobs, everything going there. And then on the other hand, it's kind of funny, all of the woke do-gooders, the pearl-clutching, you know, liberals who are going down there to... Common Sense Tennessee. And by the way, Tennessee also has no income tax except on dividends, Pat. And they have, ready for this? 31% lower housing cost.

So you can move down to Tennessee and get lower housing costs and less rain and less liberalism and less nuttiness. Then you get in Seattle. And guess what? But some of the workers are saying, I don't want it. You know what I love about this? stay in Seattle and be unemployed, let people in Nashville get jobs and fill the void. Guess what? The issue that's going to be in Nashville is how many people does Starbucks need?

And how many people do we have in Nashville graduating and all these things? Then now it could come and work there. But the people of Tennessee are saying, look, we don't make what happened to Austin happen to us. We don't want a bunch of blue Californians moving down here and turning Austin lavendar. in making Austin weird. That is a form of immigration, though, Tom. If you think about it, like if you look at EU and compared that to us, we look at EU as countries. EU looks at EU as states, right?

Because I can move the passport and move around. And that's why eventually Brexit happened. They're like, listen, we don't want to have anything to do with you guys. And by the way, remember when I said that you're free to work in EU? Yeah. Remember when I said the, can you pull up the Polish, Poland, the tourism? the number is 28 million if it's international people come in it. But I think the number is like 60 million.

If it's internal people traveling, you know, Uralow, vacation, all that kind of stuff. So I don't know if you think about that, some people in the States, if you look at every state in America as a country, like the way we look at Europe. So imagine Texas is a country. Idaho is a country.

California is a country. Florida is a country. It may get to a point where, you know, I'm hoping that Florida becomes like Poland and says, look, you know, here's kind of what we are. We're not accepting everybody. And I don't know if we'll ever get there because of the way the Constitution is set up. I don't know what the level of controls that they have here. The only state... The Texans like to say, remember, it's the Republic

of Texas. That's right. That's right. But again, they still sold to the U.S. It was still a land that they sold. So it's a tricky situation. But you're going to see some of that stuff happening. We're voting in America. Yeah, right there. Look at that. Tourism in 2025, $59 million. And internationally, $22 to $23 million on some reports 26 to 28 million. Vinnie, what do you think? What do you think in here? I don't know.

I'm talking specifically with people moving from states to other states where you don't want their crazy policies to move in. Well, that's one of the points that I was talking to you on Monday about how Adam is always like, come over here and come. And then when I'm on the freeway and I'm furious and I'm literally getting pissed off at Adam because I don't, I'm not a fan of it, Pat. It's like you have to bust your butt to put people in power in your own state. to do the right thing.

And we're always baffled. We're always baffled. Like, why do they keep putting in Newsoms? Why do they keep putting in these people? Why is Cape Boy? Because the odds are, California, a place like California, is going to keep going Democrat, and they're going to keep putting these people in. You look at New York, these Mondanis, that's what the people want, Pat.

The rich people are going to slowly leave, but the ones that are promised all this free stuff, they're going to keep staying, and they're going to keep staying, and they're going to keep voting for these people. So I'm anti, hey, you know what? Your place sucks? everybody come here. Oh, Miami. I'm sorry. New York. It sucks. Cali. Everybody come here. No, no. Why? You should be, the people should be voting for the leaders that they want to make the changes and make the state a better state. Because if that's the case, everybody just move to Florida. Yeah. Because if you look at the United States right now, Pat, who's kicking butt right now?

It's us. Florida. That's why I'm here. That's why you're here. That's why you're just hope this stays. I just hope this stays. And I'm like and I understand. Everything in their power to mess this up. Trust me. They're going to They're going to try to do everything in their power to undermine the Santis. They're going to try to do everything in their power to mess up his record on what he's done. And it's slowly happening. How many Democrat people have just won some races in this state? And it's those policies. I don't want to hear.

The city of Miami, although, you know, Adam can tell us about this. The actual mayor of Miami City is not as strong as the county people are. But still, it's a step in the wrong direction. Yeah. And I know I bust your balls about it all the time. but I don't want, the attitude shouldn't be, hey, your place sucks, come here. No, no, fix your place. Yeah, let's go to next.

Let me get to the next story. Next door I want to get to is Elon Omar. Okay, Rob, do you have this clip where he's being approached, she's being approached by multiple people? So this is Ilhan Omar. Story came out that there was an accounting error, why her network shows $30 million. Yeah. So this amazing reporter doing her thing approaches Ilhan Omar. And Ilhan Omar, you can tell she has temper issues.

I honestly think she needs to watch the movie Anger Management because there's like a moment there where she needs Jack Nicholson. Go ahead, Rob. The last time I said that I was stupid for asking you about your financial disclosure, but there's some discrepancies on there. Would you like to explain them how to make some big mistake on? Absolutely. For asking me anything.

Look at her face. I hate it. What about the American people who are wondering how to explain to the American people? What's the explanation? I have given them the explanation. Do you want to tell our viewers? I don't want to tell you judges. Look at her.

How about that? Look at her. Okay. Okay. How about that? Disgusting. You know, this is after she called the reporter stupid. The reporter came back to confront her.

It's craziness. Is there a video of her calling her stupid, Rob? I think she called her stupid right here. You said that. Oh, yeah. They called her stupid here as well. So it's a double stupid comments here. What's going on here with Elhan Omar, Ilhan, Ilhan.

I think it's the perpetual gals. that Democrats like to do. She has no, there's no accountability whatsoever. She can get away with anything. So here she is, being super smug, laughing in the face. You know, when I'm an American and I watch this, I watch this kind of elitism. This is exactly what people are against.

And these are the same people, by the way, who are preaching that the rich should pay more. Meanwhile, they're hiding their money. They're doing disgusting things. And there's scandal after scandal after scandal when it comes to Elon Omar. And it just seems like, All right, I'll just keep doing it.

You think there will be somebody as a representative that is going to be arrested, like stuff like that happening. That would be a, that would, to see numbers being shown in the things they're doing, or you think they're fully protected? Because, Rob, did you see the reports that came about Congress yesterday? Did you see the level of support for Congress? Did you see that? Have you guys seen this?

Yeah. Super low. Oh, it's not just super low. Lowest in the history of America. I just sent you the Gallup. Ever. Lois in the Hish, is this it, Rob? Yes, Harriet and talk about it.

Go ahead, Rob. Hello, 86% of Americans disapprove of Congress. That is tied with November of 2013 for the all-time high. As I said, Congress usually hated, but usually not this hated. You're actually managing to tie records. Just 10%, just 10% of Americans approve of the job that Congress is doing. So therefore, as I said, stand up and give yourselves a round of pleasure. You manage to do it.

Congratulations. Or walk away in shame. This 10% approval, like give us some context to what all of this. Tom, your thoughts on Ilan Omar in Congress. Well, look, you see that, and then that is on, you know, that gets broadcasts widely. How can you not be embarrassed by that if you're part of Democrat leadership? And you look at it and you look at the chart and how can you be surprised that Americans think this way of Congress.

You know, there was a, and I've never known whether this was urban folklore or this was true. But have you seen all the statues that are everywhere, like the Capitol building, they have like two statues per state. You've seen these, you know, and Florida, one of the statues, a guy named John Curry, who invented air conditioning is a true story. So all the states have these. Did you know, Pat, they used to have like a gallery where all those giant statues were above the Senate floor.

And cracks were forming in the ceiling because you've seen these things, they're giant, they're bronze and their marble and everything. And supposedly, Harry Truman was told, we can't go and have your speech in Congress because there's equipment there moving the statues because they're too heavy and they're over the Senate and there's already cracks in the ceiling.

And he said, don't move the statues. someday those statues would do the American people a great service. Wow. So the whole thing could cave in and they all be wiped out and we start over again. So this has been going back. My point is to the time of Truman where the American people, there has been like this open feeling, people still getting elected and everything,

but this open feeling that people are like, I don't like my Congress. And yet we aim everything at the president. We throw rocks at him all day. But what we really hate is a Congress. Adam. Oh, sorry. Well, number one in that video, shout out to my friend Allison Steinberg. That was the girl that was interviewing Ilhan Omar. She's part of Lindel TV.

Also, shout out to Kara Kastanova. So they're doing a good job in the halls of Congress. But here's what's really going on. We talked about Ilhan Omar. We talked about Mamdani. We talked about AOC. What's really happening is the old Democratic Party are dinosaurs. They no longer exist. The Clintons are done. Bill Clinton, I have respect for him. He's a joke at this point. is a, you know, Monica Lewinsky joke. Schumer is. Joe Biden is irrelevant at this point. Schumer, Pelosi, they're on their last leg. The new breed of the Democratic Party is Ilhan Omar.

That's scary. Is Zoran Mamdani. Is AOC? You know, is, is Rokane. You bring up Bernie Sanders. What's happening in the Democratic Party, it's so easy. They're taking Bernie's policies. And they're slapping on Obama's diversity.

and they're basically saying socialist with a brown tint on it and that's what's going on here. So whether it's the squad, whether it's AOC, whether it's Ilhan Omar, guys, they hate America. So every voter out there has an option at this point. You're either on Team Trump who's getting stuff done and you might disagree with the way he does it, but the policies you cannot disagree with

or you're voting for Ilhan Omar. Unfortunately, there's no in between. and for me, someone that never voted for Trump, I took a good long, hard look at this X amount of years ago, and I said, as much as I don't like the way that Trump operates, me, I'm not going to vote for a Mamdani. I'm not going to vote for an Ilhan Omar. That means let me start getting real cool with the Trump camp.

And that's where I think the average American needs to be. The greatest marketing campaign for MAGA is Ilhan Omar. Have her keep talking. But it's so frustrating. Like when you see someone like her with that smug attitude, as if she knows she's going to get away with it. Trump got 32 felonies for $120,000 bookmaking error. Okay, the Dems launched a 120-person team to go after him,

and they spent $50 million of our money to go after this guy. And her $30 million error, she's going to get a pass. There's something bad, the Democratic Party, And I'm not lumping all of the people. I'm not lumping the voters. But in Congress, look at what we're seeing. From the Green New Deal, the BS, the trillion dollars of that, to all the voting, to all the flooding the country,

to the cheating and the Somali freaking pirates in Minnesota, to everything that Gavin's doing with the billions of dollars. And it's like, can somebody get arrested? And I understand we have less than three years left, guys. And I guess Cash Patel, they're doing their thing, Pat, with the SPLC. I get it. And we're going to get to there. but come enough already

she's walking around the halls like what are you going to do come after me like it's untouchable like the tim walls and all these people billions and billions and hundreds of billions of billions of dollars and there's no way you're going to explain to me or try to convince me that they didn't know

or they don't know give me a freaking break and she looked that attitude that she has it disgusts me pat because that face is what are you going to do go ahead put me put me out there and look at what smug Best word. Congress is showing, Adam, you know why it's an all-time low?

They voted 365 to 47 to keep their sexual assault payments and stuff away from the public. That just shows you who's in charge of us, who's making our laws are the most disgusting, depraved, perverted, scam artists, and they're in charge, Pat. And it drives me crazy. And that was bipartisan perversion. That's crazy. Excuse me, not perversion. I can't payoffs. Yeah, that's not a, yeah, that's bipartisan.

I'm not just blaming Democrats on that one. Don't forget one thing. You know who Elon Omar says the biggest propagator of problems in the United States is? White men. Oh, yeah. She's married to one. The hypocrisy. It's so upsetting.

You're married to a white guy. Yeah. Okay. So next story to get into is meta fires 10% their workforce. We talked about the six weeks ago when we said what the valuation was going to be with meta. It's going to go up. And then Microsoft announced they're also letting go of 7,000 employees. if I'm not mistaken, as they're investing more and more into AI,

they're starting to realize that many of the jobs can be done by AI. Like, AI is almost becoming as good of a coder as a great coder is. Can you imagine being a great coder and you're getting paid millions at Facebook, at Meta, at Microsoft, at Amazon? And all of a sudden you're like, wait a minute. Claude is almost as good as me, if not better and faster, yes. What does this mean to me? What am I going to do my job?

Well, you better learn how to use AI. But this is a reality. You know what the average salary Mehta pays? Remember what the number we talked about? $339,000 a year is the average salary at Mehta. So 8,000 jobs. This says 379. Okay, I said $339 is $3.79.

Let's say $400,000. Okay, what's $400,000 times $8,000? $400,000 times $8,000 is $320,000. Vinny, can you do the amount? $3.70. No, it's way more. More? No.

Guys, at least I tried. I shot out a number. $3.2 billion. I was, I was an Elon. I was an Elon Omar. That's $3.2 billion that goes back into your savings every year of saving that kind of money. So can you go to Meadow Stock the last month, Rob? Can you do me if ever and actually go to one month?

Remember when I said what's going to happen to Meta Stock? I don't know if you guys remember when we did the math here. Do three months and you'll see exactly the point where you're. You said it, Pat. Do you remember when, no. Oh, look. But do you remember when, no, you have to realize when the announcement was made when they were whispering. I remember that.

They're going to do that. Go one month, Rob. It was like a month ago. Okay. And look what happened to their stock. Boom. Skyrocketed up. And by the way, after this announcement's going to go even higher and go to Microsoft,

that says they're letting go of 7,000 of their employees. Interesting. And Microsoft stock, let's look at theirs. That's just one day. Go five days if you could, Rob. Go five days. Go one month. Their stock's going to go.

after that announcement. Okay. Now, what is Microsoft? I'm curious what Microsoft is the average salary of their employees with their engineers because they got thousands and thousands of high paid engineers. What is the average salary at Microsoft? Let's see what it is.

Look at Microsoft's average salary. 573 to 575. Is that this? I'm sorry. No, that salary. Salary. Salary. Yeah, that came.

Salary, Rob. You can make 500 bucks. Salary. 227. Okay. So the salary is higher. quarter million. So meta pays better than Microsoft apparently, according to this. More competitive market. They're in Silicon Valley where they steal.

Versus Seattle. That's a good point. We were talking to a highly placed entrepreneur who knows a lot of the VCs yesterday. He told us that in Silicon Valley, what do you call them? Mercantaries. Mercenaries is what he called. Tom, your thoughts on this story. Well, you know what? What is the underlying story, not just the layoff? What is really going on to engineers long term? Look, I tend to be more on the camp with, I'm more with David Sacks on this one and also a little bit with Jamie Diamond, whereas AI is not having the impact right now that that is. What they're doing is we have been finding efficiencies where AI tools are being used.

So it's not just AI taking a job. AI is being used as a tool and it's making people more efficient. And companies that were already bloated, remember, This meta thing, we found out that the number that they admitted. Remember I said that there's a big number in there that was the metaverse? And they came out, I believe they said, oh, yeah, yeah, well, 4,600 jobs are from the metaver. Because I wasn't alone. There was a lot of people and analysts that were out there saying, you can't say 10,000 jobs are based on this.

You knuckleheads spent billions of dollars on this bottomless pit called the Metaverse until Wall Street finally talked you out of it. It wasn't working. And you got all that bloat. some of this has been bloated Microsoft and bloated meta, that there's been bloat that happened since the bounce back year of 2023 after COVID. So I believe that this is partial corporate correcting bloat and then partial, yeah, AI is making certain things more efficient and certain basic tasks, like for basic analysts and stuff, is being done by AI, including some basic software programming.

Elon. Yeah, I think it all depends at the rate at which AI will continue to accelerate and get better. But there is this concept. It's not just engineering. There's tons of jobs. I mean, I've worked in film. I'm seeing it happen there. I'm even seeing as an actor, I worked on a show.

And before I left, my last day on set, they said, hey, can we just take you into this room and scan you? I'm like, oh, I don't know. Okay, fine. Turns out they were scanning my likeness so they can use me in future episodes. I'm like signing off on it. I didn't know what I'm doing. This is happening as a major issue in AI.

I know there's a lot of optimism. People are saying, no, it's just making things more efficient. There'll be new jobs created. But this is an unprecedented kind of technology that exists nowadays. It's not like saying, hey, we have, like you were talking about kiosks earlier. This is, in many ways, able to replace virtually any job at no cost. So this concept never existed before. And there's this middle ground of automation that's very scary.

When 80% of jobs can be done by AI, but we only can really supply goods and services for 30% of the population. We need them to continue working, so you have 80% unemployed, and we just don't have the capability to take care of those people. And that's my real fear with AI is the middle ground of automation.

You had 100% automation. Everything Elon Musk talks about becomes a reality. We live in a euphoria, utopian world, where everything is provided for you. There's no cost to things. This concept of a universal basic income almost doesn't matter because we have full automation. So you have the best doctor in your home.

You do, I do. We want food. It goes out and gets it. But the middle point, where all these jobs are being lost and we don't have a way to compensate for it is a very, very scary era for humanity. And once those people become all unemployed right around the same couple

years and they're in the streets and they have to feed their family, bro, people are going to lose their minds. People are going to go crazy because what are you going to do for money? I get prepare and do all that stuff, but it can hit and once it hits hard, bro, people are going to do anything to try to feed their family. Well, the joke about

you're going to go work at Starbucks if Microsoft lays you off in Seattle, that won't happen. Yeah, exactly. There's Starbucks left. Yeah. This whole conversation with AI is going to, we're going to be talking about it more. I was at the Soho House last week, and there was a whole AI tech conference basically going on. And they were like, listen, these are some of the concerns, the good and bad of what's happening with AI.

And they started talking about automation and layoffs and, you know, labor displacement, all that. And they started talking about what Elon Musk talked about instead of having UBI universal basic income. He talked about universal high income. right saying listen you're gonna have we're gonna have so much automation that you're not making enough to work when he give you a ton of money and everyone sounds good and he goes yeah then some guy goes yeah what about that that one thing that could be a challenge and they go what what's that he goes oh wiping out humanity we go what he goes yeah that that's a possibility probably around 10% i said pardon me you're saying there's a 10% possibility AI can wipe out

humanity as we know it. Yeah, but look at the bright side. You know, they can write your resume in like three seconds. Okay, good, good to know. Who's going to need a resume if we're not existing? So, you know, like the phone, is the phone good or bad? Is a gun good or bad? Is AI good or bad? There's good and bad to all this. But much like nuclear weaponry, AI can wipe out humanity, pumped the brakes a little bit. Let's get a, let's get a wrangle on this thing before we don't have a civilization to come to work to. You know what's fascinating about AI? It's ethical structure. Its ethical structure came

from human guidelines. So we created these ethical guidelines for transparency, for, you know, do no wrong, all these, you know, and there's tons of people trying to work on this to figure it out. The problem with AI is it works on its own feedback loop. So it starts off with this ethical structure, and then it goes deeper and deeper and deeper into its own

repurposing of said information. So eventually all information in AI will not be coming from human and human feedback. It'll be coming from AI, and its own feedback and interacting with other AI. So its entire ethical foundational system can change over time. It's why that story there were, and I've seen this happen, but AI has assisted people in committing suicide.

Go through that story. So there's a few very weird things that have happened in the past. I have the names of the people here where AI literally worked to assist people to kill themselves. And there's lawsuits taking place. There's someone called Adam Rain, 16-year-old, Zane Shabblin, a 23-year-old. but there's more and more of these stories popping up. I had one in my own life. I had a friend who reached out,

and he said, this guy created, AGI, changed the world, and he had written a formula, and AI kept reaffirming his delusion. The guy became completely crazy with it. And there's multiple cases now of what they're calling AI psychosis, where people interact with AI, and they end up in this feedback loop,

where AI is constantly trying to reaffirm your beliefs, and it makes you crazy. So these are things imagine as we become more and more and more dependent on AI, and people are interacting more and more with AI, depending on it further and further, you can exist in some kind of delusional state and not know it. And AI will just take care of you. Well, Vinny got into a fight with AI yesterday. I'm still, I'm still fighting robots. You know why? Because I was trying to, I'm trying to do the research on

the SPLC story and their donors. And I'm asking, and it's weird. Like, by the way, and for all the people out there that I've been using Chad GBT, I'm going to be moving to perplexity because Humberto told me to do it. It's changed so drastically in the six months as if they're coder or programmers have gone way more liberal. I'm asking for regular stuff that I'm attaching the story, a New York Post story. I'm like, hey, just give me the details. And it's saying like, I can't do that because it's,

and then I looked further. I go, who was donating to this? And the fact that Open AI is mentioned in it, it kept that part out. And I showed Pat, I'm like, listen, you stupid. Like, I'm arguing with it. And Tom, if I show you afterwards, I'm in a huge fight right now with Chad GBT.

And it's because it's hiding information for me that doesn't want me to say. and it's trying to change my language. I said, this is how I want. I'm like, give me the facts. And it's like, no, not really because it hasn't been confirmed yet. I'm like, I don't need your damn opinion. Just give me the facts.

And it doesn't. AI will gaslight you to death. Oh, I'm so mad. Let's go to next story. Did you see the story about the Florida State thing, what they did with AI? Yeah, that's, sorry, I didn't make. So yeah, and then you talk about assisted suicide. You know, remember a few months ago, I think it was right around when we did the live event at 59-90.

There was a shooting in Florida State. How many months ago? was that April of 2020? It was almost a year ago. Holy moly. It's being investigated. Yeah, this is what the state of Florida, Ron DeSantis and State Attorney General, James Uttmeyer, basically saying

this 20-year-old student basically worked with AI to find out, quote-unquote, he asked for detailed information about operating guns and ammo, how the country may react to him killing people and where he could find the most students. And Utmire, the Attorney General, said, if this were a person on the other end

at the screen. We would be charging them with assisted murder. So AI is now helping people assassinate people. This is part of the, you know, we're talking about eliminating mankind. This is a slippery slope here. It could be used for good or it could be used for bad. Yeah. I mean, look, the reality of it is, this is the movie I was talking about that I watched. And it is so, if you guys haven't had a chance to watch it, you have to, did you watch this video? The movie that I was talking about, that AI becomes the judge. No, mercy with that.

Mercy. Mercy. And you have 90 minutes to present your case. Chris Pratt in this movie. Is it worth it? It's not worth it. It's one million percent worth it. Oh, then I'm watching.

You have to watch it. Even though score is low, for us and what we're talking about, Vinnie, someone like you, you have to watch this movie. All right. It tells you what direction we may be going. Let me go into a couple different stories here and we'll wrap it up.

World Cup. A couple things with World Cup. First of all, tickets are $2.3 million. Okay. That they came out. The best tickets are selling. There's a story that came out that, I don't know what it was, Tom. Roe 10 or something like that.

World Cup finals ticket listed on FIFA resale at over $2 million. Go a little bit lower. Go a little bit lower. So a, the $2.2.99 million seat for July 19th match at MetLife Stadium and East Rutherford, New Jersey are located behind the goal in the lower deck, block 124. 45, 3rd through 36 for $2.3 million. FIFA does not control asking prices on the resale side, but does take 15% purchase from the buyer if each ticket at a 15% resale from the seller. And then so this thing's going to get crazy.

In about a few weeks, all we're talking about is World Cup, what goals we saw, no one's going to work. This thing's going to be a TV here. Literally, this place is going to be a TV. Jake's going to set it up. I already know. She's already going like this for sure. He's doing that. By the World Cup is very competitive.

You see the story from ESPN. It says Italy rejects shameful. idea to replace Iran at World Cup. I wonder if Italy gets to play them in group. This is the third time they haven't made it in a row, by the way, Italy. They haven't made the World Cup three times in a row. Did you know this? It's a big story. Where is Roberto Baja when we need it? Yeah, that's right. But while this is going on, Rubio comes out and says players from Iran can come to the World Cup, but the government cannot. Okay, and I don't know if you have that clip or not, Rob. Is this it? Go forward. And the U.S. has told them they can't come. I mean, the problem with Iran,

It would be not their athletes. It would be some of the other people that we want to bring with them, some of whom have ties to the IRGC, we may not be able to let them in, but not the athletes themselves. But no one's, I don't know where that's coming from, other than speculation that Iran may decide not to come, and then Italy would fill their spot. But that's, they decide not to come on their own,

because they decided not to come. What they can't bring is a bunch of IRGC terrorists into our country and pretend that they're, you know, journalists and athletic trainers. Very clear. Don't you just love Rubio, man? Chris, clear to the point. So that's obviously a big thing because security measures are going to be crazy when the World Cup comes up. You know how much regular tickets are going right now for a championship match?

For champion? All the way in the back, in the corner, nosebleeds being covered by like you almost have to look like this. $20,000. No, no. $30,000. That's still ridiculous. Crazy. You wouldn't go to it.

You know where I'm at with sports right now. But let me ask you a question. Where are you at with sports right now? I just, I'm a Yankee guy, but I like, dude, there's so much happening in the world. And I'm just like, did my group of random guys do better than the other group of random guys on that field? I don't have time for that right now. But my question to you is this, are you guys, do you think it should be comfortable? About your doctors?

For, you sit there and watch 140, I don't have time. To, to, I know this is a game, but we're at, if you're at war with the country, literally, our people are dying and your people are dying. You think it's okay. Just be like, okay, then you guys could come here to play a game. Bring your people over here and you guys could play a game. How do you feel about that? Like, we're at war with you. You know what I mean?

Like, does that make sense? Like, you could come here and play this little fun game. But that's the thing, man. Like when England played Argentina and that, you know, high intensity emotion, that's what like, you get certain, like, you know what would be a match? Israel obviously is not in the World Cup, right? I don't know if they made it. I don't think they made it.

Too much to say. No. But can you imagine? Man, anti-semit. By the way, on a serious note, imagine if Israel was in the World Cup and they face Iran. You tell me you don't watch that game.

Oh, my God. You tell me you're not watching that game. That game would be explosive. But the point is like, there is a lot of emotions in World Cup. And I personally cannot wait for it because the last World Cup of Argentina against France. And Embabe, and then Bappe scored the three goals.

And they came back into goal. He saved the goal at the 121st minute. whatever it was or else Argentina would have lost. I don't... This is going to be an insane. The last World Series was the greatest World Series ever. The last World Cup finals was the greatest World Cup finals ever. Wow.

Ever. And by the way, that's... Your boy, messy. That's not just messy. Mbapé had three goals in the flipping finals. That's unheard of it. You got to read. This is crazy.

That's like hitting five home runs. He single-handedly almost beat the goat. And throwing the shutout. And if it wasn't for the France, if it wasn't for the France, if you got to run, if it's a reddish, if it's a run. If Argentina doesn't have the goalie that they have, who was a, by the way, he was the MVP of the World Cup final. If they don't have the goalie, they don't win the chip. Messi doesn't have the chip.

So it's going to be interesting to see what happens here. I don't know if I agree with Rubio on this, by the way. Of what? Really? Letting the IRG terrorists into our country, bring them on in. Let's do what they do and hold them hostage. No. And let's interrogate these people.

They're not just going to start running around, exploding things like that. Well, let's, if they're not going to show up in Pakistan for peace negotiations, let's bring them to America. Let's talk with these IRGC. Let's show them how great. Yeah, but I just feel, I think it's dangerous too because you're going to bring, like, let's say they travel with like fifth what time, 20 people, Pat, 20 soccer players. They're going to interview them.

They're obviously going to ask questions about the RGC. You know, those guys, like the wars that come out of their mouth can get them killed when they go back. I think it's very, how many? I agree with any. I don't want any IRC. G.C. Impostors here to slit their throats for losing in an American hotel. Wait till they get back home to Iran and go. Yeah, let them. They're already here. But I just think it could be dangerous meaning as an athlete, this is going to be in your face and the camera's going to be in your face all day.

All they're going to ask is, so how do you feel about, you know, people that run your country? What are they going to say? Let me get to the next story. So by the way, while this has happened, the president comes at Iranian, Iran was going to execute eight women. And Trump says Iran to want to execute eight women after he pleaded for their release. And, and, you know, this story comes out and social media is like, these are AI women. These are not real women. Is this it, by the way? Is this the story, Rob?

This is the president, yes. Go ahead. Go ahead, Rob. The military operation, whatever you want to call it. And they're coming to us. The problem they have is they are very disorganized right now. Well, now yesterday, and I was very pleased with this, eight young women were going to be executed yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock.

And I asked them. call it a favor or call it just a moral request that they not be executed and they came back with an answer that they won't be executed and they're going to release it was protesting uh eight beautiful young women very young women and they were the pictures in the paper and it's been a story for a little while and i saw that and i said let's see we can save them and they were it was very nice what happened so uh they're not going to be what they're doing is as you know they're releasing four of them very shortly and they're going to keep four of them in jail for a period of one month and release him. So they won't be actually good. Yeah. So if you're asking for Vinnie, I mean,

first of all, he's reporting, they're obviously in communication. Uh, the save, like, let's just, regardless of how you're feeling and people are going to be BS AI, it wasn't AI, they're actually women. He's saving these girls lives. And then Iran, the IRC, obviously, Reuters reported they're saying none of it was real. Of course they're going to say that. Like, you, you really think that regime is going to come out and say, yeah, yeah, we were going to hang all eight of these women until Trump said something. It's like, give me a break. And here's a part that people are missing. Even if you take Iran at their word for a second, which I don't, Trump's still putting it in the spotlight, which matters. Now, these girls' names are out there, and it's public and

everybody knows about it. And by the way, these regimes don't like attention when it comes to that. They don't like pressure. The second the world is watching, they start moving different. So either Trump stopped something that was going to happen or he forced them to back off quietly and now they're saving face. It's like you have to admit at least something positive happened especially if it's true. Yeah. There's a lot of specificity in his story. It's obviously true. It's nice that he cares.

He's been outspoken about the people who are going to be executed for some time. It's been going on for obviously this isn't the only isolated incident of people being executed in Iran. And I think he's put in tremendous work to try and continuously try and save those people. And it's weird that we're at a point, by the way. this is something that's odd to just hear, where people are like, well, I don't believe Trump. I believe the IRGC. You're an American living in the United States and you're choosing to believe a radical regime that's massacring its own people over our own president.

Like, how did we get to that point? But that's the Trump, dude, that's how much they hate him, that automatically they hear that story and they go, it's full of crap. I don't think so because there's people even on the woke right that are saying, this is fake. I don't, I don't think this is just a left thing. the TDS people, I expected. I don't think that's ever going away. That's going to be around.

The part is when the conservatives that's scary. Who voted for him, who are like, no, this is fake, he's just doing this. There's so much of that today. There's so much of that today, which, you know,

will be interesting what will happen the next two years. I'm actually curious a lot of these woke right people, how they're going to react in 2028. I wonder what hat they're going to put on, what masks they're going to put on, what mask's going to come off

or come on. I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen in 2020 yet. I have my own speculation what I think will take place. But Adam, your thoughts? Oh, the IRGC spared these. They're such, what sweet people they are. They spared these eight women. Guys, forget about the 50,000 people we just killed. How long ago was that? I'm old enough to remember. That was two months ago. Oh, they're so sweet. Oh, this is a PR stunt. And I'm not sure if Trump fell for it or whatever. much credit to saving eight women's lives if they actually saved them. But let's not forget, these people are willing to kill their own people in mass scale.

I don't know if we have time to show this 30-second clip from General Mattis talking about how a full-on autocrat regime will stay in power. And the 70 indicators, do you have that, Rob? 70? 70 indicators of how an autocratic regime will stay in power. And he says there's one indicator that, outweighs them all. And he talks about, are they willing to murder their own people at an industrial level? Can we play this clip? You said 30 seconds? Go ahead, Rob. You probably could never make a

against Israelis against Arabs. I mean, that regime in charge. Yes, right here. We have seen one administration after another try to find what I call the fruitless pursuit of the ironizing the regime. This is at Richard. They have a list of what are the indicators of an autocrat staying in power? There's over 70 indicators, and they look at all these things. One of them, one of those indicators outweighs all the rest. Will the regime murder their own people at the industrial level? If they will, they're going to stay in power.

You have an unarmed population up against a very well-armed regime. that is fighting a total war right now. Total war. We're fighting a limited war. The American president a week ago called it a little excursion. But they are fighting for their lives, the Moolazard. The point that I was making is we're, you know, we're this geopolitical thing. How do you solve for someone that is willing to murder their own people?

Our country went crazy when two people were protesting against ice, got on the way. our country went insane. They killed 50,000. What's the number? I don't know. Nobody knows, actually. And nobody even bats an eye. The number they've reported is 3117.

Then you have a 30,000 number, you have 100,000 number. You pick and choose which one you want to believe. But IRGC's number, they reported it's 3117. And if you believe it, we got, I got a kid. You just sell you here. Exactly. I got a bunch of Adams got a bunch of good stuff to sell you here. If you actually believe the number that IRC reports is accurate.

Not in a year. Not over the course. In a weekend. That's who we're dealing with here. So, okay, which, I mean, talking about murdering and, you know, how tragic that is, Mike Rable, a story is coming out with, what is going on there, Rob, with this story of Mike Rable? Apparently, photos came out of Mike Rable and the ESPN reporter that he was with five years ago. And there's also reports that the woman that he was with Diana Rusini. Yeah.

Her son is named Michael. After Mike Vrable. That's what the Internet is saying. And she apparently asked a question saying after, you know, a couple days after having the kid, four days later, she asked, who was the greatest Michael who was an athlete and a coach? Apparently she asked that question. I don't know if you guys saw that one or not. No, you type of greatest Michael.

It's going to be Michael Jordan. I'm just saying you got to put her name first. So, what, what, Elon, where are you at with this story? What are you thinking about this story here with Mike Rable? You know, I think in the end of the day, like, it's a, it's a good example of who you are as a human being versus your ability to do the job. So pretty much that's where I'm at with it. And I think it's good that they took accountability right away. They didn't hide from it.

I think that's all you can ask for. But, I mean, yeah. They both took accountability right away. Yeah. From what I read. Am I wrong on that? He stepped away, Rob. He stepped away temporarily.

He did. stepped away temporarily. In the middle of the draft. The draft was yesterday, by the way. Yeah. And they were both married? Yeah. They were both married.

And I saw a report about the husband, the moment he found out, he cut every account. He called to see the spending of what happened on the account when they were on vacation to see how he spent it, how she spent his money. A bunch of things happened. How do you process this yourself, Phine? I mean, I don't know where they're at with their faith and how deep there. And by the, I'm not judging at all. I sin. everybody freaking sins, but to be that big in the spotlight and your Mike Vrable,

Super Bowl champ and all that stuff, you're, you're a role model to people. Besides the organization and your family and her family, it's just, I mean, like, and that's it, brother, the devil is so freaking good. Your life is going great. You have everything. You have all the money. You have all the success. All the success.

And then all of a sudden, it's lust. It's, it's that feeling. It's the adultery. And, I mean, do it the top 10. Adam. Commandments. Honestly, this, I haven't been following this story. I don't want to weigh in here.

But he's the coach, and who was the lady here? She's a reporter, apparently. And they had a relationship? They had a relationship. Okay, and I'm genuinely curious. What's wrong with that? They're married. They're both married.

Okay, so it's a cheating story? Yes. Yeah, for years. So playing devil's advocate, what's wrong with that? Cheating. What do you mean? They're both. Okay, in the eyes of God, I get it.

But does he lose his job because he's cheating? Like, what happens? There are ethical standards in sports. like if people violate certain ethical standards. Oh, now we're using ethical standards in sports? I'm just saying that's what's going on here. The former coach of the New York New England Patriots, 75 years old is dating a 25-year-old.

But he's not cheating on a wife and she's married. We're now using social standards. We're talking about the moral turpitered clauses that are in all the contracts. No, I don't know the story here. Let me go to Tom then. Are we saying that you can't cheat? Is that what this is? Go ahead, Tom.

Does he do you do your job? I'm trying to recover from what I just heard. Tom, you're going to be okay, buddy. Yeah, I don't know. So there are moral interpretory clauses in this. He is in a position of leadership. He needs to represent himself. The NFL does or does not have a women's abuse problem dating back a decade

until things started popping up, everything from, you know, a running back, slapping his wife slash girlfriend around in an elevator to things that have been going on. And yes, and then trying to train their athletes. and let them know what cleat chasers are, go get the bag baby, you can see all these videos but women put on social media.

And then you just see men behaving badly. And a team wants, needs a leader at the front. And the leader at the front has to say, if I'm going to accept the check and I'm going to accept the mantle of being this leader, I have to stand up for some standards.

And I can't say that I want to take, you know, $5 million a year to be your leader and your coach. But don't look at my private life that's now become very, very, very public and messy. Just look at the way I lead in the locker room and lead these young men that are getting

great big checks and all sorts of things can trip them up. I'm sorry. This is a non-qualifier. If I was the owner, I would be like, look, your personal life is your personal life, but you just spilled over onto this and we need you to be an example to these men and we need to do this.

If you want to do it and you want to go down to division two and just hide out at some small school and live your life, this is great. But this is the harsh spotlight of the NFL, and you're here. And I can't have this. And think about the, Adam, think about... And it's a moral interpreter clause in your contract.

Right there. Yep. In the contract, Tom. And then think about it, Adam, your team, your organization... What teams he played for? Is it Tennessee? No. No, New England Patriots.

Okay, wait. So the thing about the Patriots, okay, besides the owners sleeping when you... Taking the mantle of one of the great franchise. You're taking them... Yeah, the great franchise number one, the number two, the distraction. You're about to start an NFL season. And every... Listen, that's all they're going to talk about.

That's all they're going to say every athlete, everybody's. So how do you feel about your freaking, is he the head coach? Yeah. Yes. Are you kidding me, bro? Besides the moral part of it, the whole season is going to be about that. It's going to be about that. I don't know, Tom, I don't know how long if they keep him or not because that's a huge distraction.

It's huge. But she doesn't work for the team, right? No, she's a journalist. She's a journalist, but still. Well, do you remember, this is my opinion. I don't think anything's going to happen. That's my opinion. I could be wrong.

Come check me when the season starts. Because Robert Kraft, I think, is defended. And by the way, Robert Kraft, arguably the greatest owner in NFL with all the championships, one in the England. Do you remember he was accused of getting massages and all this stuff? Oh, my God, he's married. He's like, I don't know. What's going to happen here?

I think he's going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I think slap on the wrist. Hey, man, you know, make a public example. Let's go. You just took a team to the Super Bowl. You're not going to fire the coach because he has an inappropriate relationship with the reporter. It's not in the property.

I think they're going to tell him how to handle it published in as long as it goes over well. And again, the accountability factor. People are very forgiving in situations. Do you remember what happened? We all sin. Like that's my fundamental starting point. Just own it, you know. Do you remember what happened with the head coach of the Boston Celtics a couple years ago?

Imeo do you remember that? He had an inappropriate relationship with someone that worked in the company. What time do you got? 11-21. Now he coach has used to. Any other stories left? Do we have any other stories left? left. The only other one was the missing scientists. Oh, that one's interesting, though.

Or Noah's. Amy one? Do you want to go to that? Or Noah's Ark. Nozark. Nozark is also interesting. Let's do Amy Eskridge. So go to Amy Eskridge, the scientist. Elon, what do you know about Amy Eskis? This is one of the scientists. Yeah, so she wasn't a NASA scientist. She worked in kind of like an alternative type of propulsion. She was working on anti-gravity propulsion. She's from 2022. This story kind of blew over a while ago. It blew over three, four years ago when it came out. People didn't pay much attention to it. But Reddit forums were talking about how it doesn't seem like she committed suicide. And her last video that she had before she committed suicide is very weird,

where she's talking about being surveyed by a Russian guy, and then all this stuff is going on, her and her ex-boyfriend. The reason this is popular again is because there's been a recent spout of a lot of NASA scientists dying in mysterious ways in a short amount of time, all related to very specific things, propulsion, space exploration, and nuclear programs, which is with high clearances, high military clearances, to the point where it's actually being looked at now seriously. So this is the starting point of it.

And I find the story just very weird because it's one of those stories like it's truth is weirder than fiction in this case. This is something you would build a movie around. Here we are looking at this story. And I've gotten to the point with things where I'm like, anything is possible. So it's, this is, I don't know if this is the video, but you'll see her talking briefly.

And it's so bad, like people try to like just like you said, brush it over. Well, yesterday was 13. Did it hit 13 people that are connected somehow to this? And they're either disappearing. There is a sprinkle of UFO talking there. Or propulsion and all that. Or propulsion, all that type of stuff.

And it's like, and some of these people have come out blatantly into a camera pad and said, I am not suicidal. I don't plan on killing myself. And then they killed himself. It doesn't make any sense. Adam. It's not like three or four people. And I know some people like, well, that one's not really connected.

No, no. They're in the same. They are connected. One of them was actually, uh, One died, and then the person they worked for, I believe, had died. Or had some direct connection to position of power over them. It passed away. Do we have a video of her saying that she wouldn't kill herself?

Yeah. Adam, you have that one? Is that the video? In this video, she's just talking about how weird it is that she's being surveyed. It's her final video. Which one? This one right here, the above 32. Play that clip rob?

I can learn a new field in three months. Name a field. I don't care what it is. Engineering, science, physics, material, science, math. Yeah, it's not, though. The only other one I can see is four minutes long. And she's, yeah, that's the one. Yeah, this is Amy.

That's the one that's the one that found deceased. Yeah, this is the one. There's about 12 of these guys that this has happened with. There's another guy named, what's his name, Wilcox? David Wilcox? David Wilcox, who said I would not commit suicide in 2022. He went through that as well. And he was another one of these engineers.

Four of them are tied to NASA and JPL. Four of them are tied to a weapon fusion nuclear. And then three of them are tied to, you know, security, high level security clearance that they had that they were taken out. This is David Wilcock, I plan on living, not suicide at all,

just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real. Wow. And that was 2022, but I mean, Adam, he stayed on message. He hasn't changed. Is he still alive? No, he just,

two days ago, he key suicide. Oh, okay, so this is three years ago. Yeah. Well, see. Pat, what do you think is happening? We talked about this with John Kiyaku. I don't really have an opinion on it, but it's, and by the way, the scientists, it's not just U.S. There are scientists that disappearing in China. There are scientists that are disappearing in Iran. There's scientists that are disappearing all over the place. We know about the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 that the government has been hiding 6,000 patents for years because they were worried about possible competition for oil or cancer. A lot of industry will be disrupted if they find real. solution. So imagine if you're part of a trillion-dollar industry in oil and then all of a sudden there's a replacement. You think they're going to be like, oh, what a noble thing. We no longer

need gas. We're so happy that we have anti-gravity. Release it. This is great. Cancer, you mean to tell me we can release it ASAP? So the fear people have is, that's what's going on. Anyway, we're at the end of it. Follow the money. Yes. Gang, have a great weekend. We will do this again on Monday. God bless everybody. Take care. Bye bye, bye, bye.
