He likes to go home and talk to, he likes to go to Kim and talk dirty to her, but maybe not something we want to talk about publicly, but it is what it is. That's right. Anyways, a lot of crazy stories that we need to go through. We have, let me see which one I want to go through with this, but by the way, I got a couple clips. We got to play that clip of the twins in Australia that you were talking about, right? Probably one of the funniest things.

Identical twins that's gone viral. Gone viral. We'll play that and see if anybody, maybe you and Adam can recite it or Tom and Adam, I don't know. White House pushes lab leak theory on new COVID website. Congresswoman's profane supermarket argument with a constituent caught on camera. Is this with, what's her name? Rob, who's that with the clip?

Nancy Mace. That's right, she crushed it by the way. And something else happened to her yesterday at a town hall that I have and you're gonna die laughing. She needs full security. More comedy coming. Trump's study and if removal Powell is an option. As it said, Trump's administration demands Harvard disclosed foreign funding escalating few. This is not looking pretty right now. So they said they're going to defund them. Harvard came back suing them. Trump's coming back asking this.

It almost seems like Harvard's about to get in trouble if they keep going back and forth like this. And next thing you know, new intel comes out. The rest could be history for Harvard. Harvard could be in a troubling place if we find out what they're really doing behind closed doors. Three ex-presidents denounced the current one in a two-week stretch. So obviously they're on the same page with what they got going on.

Conor McGregor blasts mass migration as a genocide in Ireland. I got a couple clips I want to show you about that, which is kind of weird. Why U.S. men think college isn't worth it anymore. JP Morgan details exactly how it thinks Trump's trade war will play out and what investors should do. Ben Affleck came out and said some things about California. I'm not used to hearing Ben trash California, but when you get to a point that Ben is not happy with California, you are doing a lot of things wrong. And the next story goes to Gavin Newsom.

Catching heat again as LA's 2028 Olympics in peril and faces criticism after granting clemency to 25 criminals. And we'll get into that. Trump says mineral deal with Ukraine to be signed next Thursday. JD Vance this morning talked about how the trade deal with Modi in India is getting closer. I think you shared that with us this morning. Justin Bieber in bad shape.

Shannon Sharp has just got to make a decision to change the types of women he's, I mean, the kind of text messages he was getting was, I don't know if we'll even cover it or not. It's a crazy story.

GOP leader asks Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute Andrew Cuomo. Interesting. Dem judge in New Mexico steps down after man would allege a trend that agroatais found in his home. By the way, did you see Kilmar's wife being asked by Michael Strahan, hey, what happened in 2021? Is it true that in 2021 you called the cops, did you see this clip?

Tom's got some thoughts on that. I think Vinnie, you got some thoughts on that as well. Gen Z grad says their college degrees were a waste of time. That's one too many stories with college degrees being a waste of time.

And money as AI infiltrates the workplace. Okay, so we'll cover those stories. I got a few other things that I want to show you guys as well infiltrates the workplace. Okay, so we'll cover those stories. I got a few other things that I wanna show you guys as well that I brought in. There's one thing I wanna show that has to do with Gary Player talking about what Tiger Woods did that prevented him from being the greatest of all time,

that he could have 20 or 22 masters. I just really like what he had to say. And there's a stat talking about man needs two nights a week with his guy friends. Why it's necessary to be two nights a week with his guy friends. Men need that and we'll address that as well. Folks last time we did this, when the Yetis came out last time, I had no idea what was going to happen with the Yetis. I had no idea. When our team said, Pat, they're not going to last. Like this, all of it was gone.

Next thing you know, we were swamped by messages of, Pat, can we get additional Yetis to do collaboration with Value 10 Minute and Future Looks Bright? The next one is here. Now keep in mind, these will go very fast. Rob, if you want to play this clip, we got different ones. These are based on what many of you guys asked. This is the Future Looks Bright Yeti, whether it's a pink one, whether it's the red one, whether it's the Tiffany blue or the white, this one seems to be sick.

It's absolutely sick. Or even a smaller one that you got. And on top of this, Rob, if you can also go to the website, there are I think it's 10 coolers that we got. A couple people asked for coolers. I just got 10 of them. We're like let's just see if there's a market for it. I guarantee you that they'll be gone before we're up with the episode.

I said let's get 10 and let's see how it does. Look at that. Look how sick that is with Future Looks Bright right on top of it. So vtmerch.com, go place your order. Be the first to get it because these things will go very quickly. Again it is limited supply and they're absolutely sick. When you go to work and you have this Vitaiment logo and the future looks bright, it looks insane.

Okay, again go to VTMerch.com, place your order with the Yeti collaboration. Alright so let's get right into it. Tom, I'm going to go right into business economy because right now a lot of people are concerned with what's going on. Yesterday the market had another 2.5%-3% correction, give or take, whatever the number was. Here's JP Morgan Chase, details exactly how they think Trump's trade war will play out and what investors should do. So let's see what the story from Insider is saying in regards to Chase's predictions with Trump's tariffs.

So JPMorgan Chase predicts Trump's tariffs will lead to some deals with trade partners with the effective tax rate rising to 10 to20% compared to 2% earlier this year, the firm noted this represents a meaningful increase in imports duties but lands within Wall Street estimates pre-liberation day. Expect an economic growth to slow unemployment and inflation to rise but the U.S. to avoid a full recession. The bank recommends structured notes for investors stating they can simultaneously provide defensive exposure to stocks while delivering income

through options premiums, upside offering a strategy to navigate the tariff included market uncertainty. JP Morgan Chase advises incorporating hedge funds into diversified portfolios noting that volatility will allow hedge funds to exploit market mispricings and relative value play across asset classes Tom well Business Insider is covering JP Morgan and JP Morgan had a big letter that came out at Week and a half ago and one of the things that people noted in there is they seem to be having or trying to have like a calming effect on investors Like they're saying hey, we think the tax rate will be 10 to 20 percent of some of these Tariffs compared to 2% which is what we estimated pre-liberation day. So what they're trying to say

Vinny is hey what we said before liberation day when the markets are going crazy and that was was April 2nd, hey it's happening it's happening about that way so they're trying to have a calming effect and then what they're mentioning to people is you know structured notes and I won't go into deep detail, Adam could probably talk about it too, but a structured note is basically an investment vehicle that allows you a little bit of downside protection and a little bit of upside protection And you get a little coupon in there So what they're saying is there are other investment products that are designed for times when the markets and the financial instruments are volatile and

I felt like Pat that what Business Insider was covering but they missed the headline I think they blew the headline it would be JP Morgan recommends calm and consider alternative investments as the tariff Situation trade war plays out and we think it's going to land 10 to 20 percent tax on certain goods Which is what we said before liberation day And I think they missed the headlines

I think that's what JP Morgan is that's exactly what they're saying here And oh by the way called JP Morgan because we can help you buy some of these things operators are standing by Adam I guess you know for those of us that support Trump. You know many of us in this room including Myself who voted for Trump at what point are we going to sound the alarm and say, I don't know, is this actually working out? I think we all understand the need for tariffs. I think we all understand the need for taking on China. I think we all understand the need for not kicking the can down the road. But at the same time, when are we going to say, is this actually working?

I think it's totally fair to ask questions. You know, this is the Tom and I were talking about this earlier, the number one story in the Wall Street Journal was the following. The Dow is now headed for the worst April in a hundred years as investors send a no-confidence signal to the market. Now we all said brace for impact. We kind of have to have a short term, take a couple steps back in order to take 10 steps forward. But the market is getting a little fearful, you know, as Warren

Buffett always says, be fearful when people are greedy, be greedy when people are fearful, I'm still investing in the market, I'll always bet on America. But if you go to the fear greed index, which we tend to take a look at on this show, right now, people are in extreme fear. So, you know, I don't want to be This is not a joke but on liberation day April 2nd like the only thing that's been liberated so far is trillions of dollars of wealth from the US stock market and I don't want that nor does anybody want that but since then since is the potentially the worst April in almost a hundred years

But since then, since is the potentially the worst April in almost 100 years, the Dow is down, stocks are down, the S&P is down, the dollar is down, US Treasuries and bonds are down, consumer sentiment is down, gold is up because that's obviously a store of value, the VIX is up because that's volatility index, and the fear and greed index is very fearful. So at what point do we say, look, Trump, we're rooting for you, bro. But hopefully this thing turns around very quickly. It's three months to like, and I get Adam, trust me, I'm with you 100%. But isn't this something that we have to go through as a nation because of how horrible everything only 30 trillion, $37 trillion in debt. Yeah, nobody respects the trundle. Just I'm gonna answer this and then I'm gonna let you do your thing. The debt is obviously one thing, but the tariffs are a totally other thing. I understand, you know, what Doja's doing. But if Trump, who is very mindful of his legacy and how things are talked about in the news, even if he doesn't trust the mainstream media, this is the lowest S&P has ever been since inauguration for any president in a hundred years.

So this is not a good look for Trump. We're all rooting for this to turn around. But my simple question is at what point do we sound the alarm bells and say, I don't know? Let me tell you what I did yesterday. So for me, yesterday I looked into a couple things. I went and looked into, and it's so funny you were saying that. You were kind of headed in that direction. Rob, can you go pull up the following? What are the longest any trade deals took? Go on to adjbt and ask the question, what is the longest any trade deal took?

If you pull it up, here's what you'll notice. I wanted to find out what's the longest. The longest trade deals took. If you pull it up, here's what you'll notice. I wanted to find out what's the longest. The longest trade deals ever. Doha Development Round, WTO, 23 years. It's still going. EU-Mercosur Agreement, that's EU, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, 1999 to 2019. And it's still not ratified, okay?

Then you got TT, Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, 13 years, WTO General Agreement on Trade and Services, 10 years, Canada EU, eight years, and then I wanna say, put the fastest, and here's what I found with the fastest. US-Jordan FTA, four months, this is in 2000. US-Australia FTA, the fastest trade deals, one year. US-MCA, one and a half years, that's US-Mexico-Canada, 2017 to 2018.

US-Singapore, two years. So even the fourth fastest was two years. So even the fourth fastest was two years. Okay? By the way, people who are watching this, they're shaking right now. You know what I'm saying? They're kind of like, what are you talking about? It's gonna take this long to go through this?

That's what you think is gonna take place? Well, if this is truly something that's a dramatic, dramatic change that we're going to be making, this is something we have to go through. So now, I then looked up to see what companies were taking a hit. There's two different types of deals, bilateral trade deals, two countries, it takes one to five years. Multilateral trade deals, three countries, it takes one to five years, multilateral trade deals, three countries plus, takes five to 10 years, okay?

But in the China trade deal, there are a lot of companies right now in China that are taking a hit, because to them they're just shutting down. They're telling employees, go home, we have no work for you. And this is real, that's happening, okay? And some parts of America as well,

some places are shutting down saying, we don't have work for you We can't afford to have work for you So the pain is there as we're going through it right you're hearing some small business owners talk about you know I finance my you know my mortgage You know I've taken money out of my mortgage to be able to do this and that all the stuff that they're talking about So the pain is definitely there But the part that I like

on what happened, Rob, if you want to pull this up, JD Vance Modi clip with India. If you can pull that up, I think Vinny sent it this morning. In the chat, Rob. Yeah, in the chat. So if you pull that up, what the president and the administration is doing, which is the right thing to do, is they're saying, look, you can take your time all you want. We're going to the one country that you probably don't want to see be the next China, which is India. And here's what just happened.

This is how long ago, Rob, was it this morning? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, April 22nd, 8 or 3 a.m. it was posted. Go for it. Watch this, folks. As many of you are aware, both of our governments are hard at work on a trade agreement built on shared priorities, like creating new jobs, building durable supply chains, and achieving prosperity for our workers. In our meeting yesterday, Prime Minister Modi and I made very good progress on all of those points. And we are especially excited to formally announce that America and India have officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade negotiation.

I think this is a vital step. Thank you. Applause I believe this is a vital step toward realizing President Trump's and Prime Minister Modi's vision because it sets a roadmap toward a final deal between our nations. As many of you are aware... You can pause right there.

Tom, how important is this? Excuse me? How important is this? This is really important because I think what he's saying when he says the points of reference, I think what he's saying is basically LOI. Here's a letter of intent. It's another contract, but it's a letter of intent and inside the letter of intent says Okay, these are the five things

That we're gonna work through so basically that's a big deal to say that we've read that that time Because you know they get together they stand in front of the flags and they say boy What a productive day nice to see you nice to see you as well. They like the gift. I love the gift Thank you very much. Love that. Love the beef jerky. Don to see you. Nice to see you as well. Do you like the gift? I love the gift. Thank you very much. Love the beef jerky. Thank you so much. And thank you very much for the curry. And you know they do that. It's kind of a just a handshake and back and forth. This seemed and you heard the people applauding very specific. I talked to the prime minister. We've got points of reference. So it's to me it's like an LOI that says, Hey guys, we're around first base and we know exactly what

we're going to be talking about and we know exactly where we're going to go. And when trade deals in our negotiation phases, usually what they do is they mutually pull the heat off each other. Like when two countries are at war, they said, we're going to have a ceasefire and our guys and your guys are going to meet in Geneva, Switzerland, and we're gonna talk about it You know I'm talking about they have a little ceasefire. That's how usually your national deals happen So likewise they usually turn down the heat on it I think the market is probably gonna like this today because the poor stock stock market is bouncing like a yo-yo on sentiment

Yeah, so I asked the question, how many, how is this impacting, Rob, can you go to ChadGBT, type in how are the tariffs impacting Chinese manufacturing? Just type that in. It's funny you're saying that, but I saw a tweet by Mario Nafalma, I'm looking for it right now, on how, we're talking about us, right? China is not doing well right now.

Factories are closing, it's hitting the fan over there as well, people think it's all good, and that's a great point. So it says, Zhejiang province factory closure, over 50% of export oriented factories in Zhejiang, a major manufacturing hub, are expected to halt production temporarily following the imposition of 145% US tariffs. Many companies are extending their labor holidays indefinitely due to sharp decline in US orders. And this continues by the way.

It's not getting any prettier. Let me see what this other region is. Give me one second. Let me see this one here. Yeah, many companies, plastic manufacturing sector risks. Chinese plastic plants face potential shutdowns as tariffs have disrupted the imports. US ethane, a critical raw material for plastic production.

The increased costs and supply chain disruptions have made operations unsustainable. US companies shifting production. David's Bridal reduced China's based production from over 50% to 30% shifting operations to countries like Sri Lanka, Vietnam and India. So companies are moving away from China to places like Sri Lanka, Vietnam and India. And then Stanley's Black and Decker decreased reliance on China manufacturing from 40% to 15% over the past seven years planning future reductions and reallocating productions to other parts of Asia and possibly Mexico.

Keep in mind, we can talk like this and be like, oh my God, China's struggling, they're going through a hard time, they're going to have to do a deal, they're going to have to, nobody knows because in China, their media is saying US is getting destroyed. The the Chinese media saying US economy is in shambles They don't know how they're gonna handle it They need China the same thing Americans are saying is the same thing the Chinese are saying about how the US economies and shambles right now Tom thoughts yeah, well, and I'll tell you the the India thing we talk about sentiment the market opened one minute ago It's 931 right so S&p 500 up 55 Dow up 400 Nasdaq up

190 she made 182 just moving right here alive, so it's an early bounce the day is young There's a lot of things that happen in market But the market is jumping a bit on sentiment and you got to believe that hearing about India is part of this because it calms the market The market just wants to know everything's going to be okay And things are going to come down a little bit and I think that you know the the volatility that's out there right now We have the volatility of words What do you mean well the volatility of the sentence yeah the volatility of words that go back and forth that causes the market

In the sentence. Yeah the volatility of words that go back and forth that causes the market to get a little a little concerned And then you know people are doing making research and Wall Street Journal today is Adam pointed out saying hey This could be the worst April since the Great Depression. That's a fair headline based on historical facts But those words make the market nervous But trade deals you know are are things that now go the other way and will calm calm the market But we need we need more days like this morning Well, it's very hard to compete with China just because they cheat You know China is the world's Warehouse that makes everything and we've been shipping away manufacturing jobs for a few decades now

You know how many times you look at any good you buy and it says made in China, made in China, made in China, you even see videos of like people trying to call Trump out for things in Trump MAGA world that are made in China. I don't know what the validity of that, but they're like this factory of a billion plus people that just never sleeps. And it's very hard for smaller countries or even America to compete with these people when you have low costs, they're cutting out competitors, undercutting competition. The CCP is heavily subsidizing many of these industries just like

Trump did with some of the farmers in some industries here. They pay low wages, they have zero environmental regulation, they have low standards some industries here. They pay low wages. They have zero environmental Regulation they have low standards for the workplace They don't give a shit if kids are working and chopping off finger. They don't care They don't care about their people all they care about is keeping the CCP in power, which leads me to the final point We covered this on the town hall the live podcast We did the other day where you have she right now where China was alienated just a Short six twelve months ago now. She's going on. What do they call it? Like this charm offensive going around the world? Hello, good to see you Vinny said he wouldn't eat Chinese food for the next six to twelve and I'm not exactly

so the the guy on Whatever there was like one of their foreign ministers whatever was talking about the guy on whatever that was like one of their foreign ministers whatever was talking about calling us peasants so china was alienated now they're sort of back in the fold they're playing they're kind of playing with a little house money right now the the bottom line is it's going to be very hard to decouple from china it's not like we're just going to cut off all our manufacturing we have very cheap labor and cheap goods that came from china i don't think these jobs are necessarily coming back to America. So Trump needs to navigate this relationship with caution. But Americans, and this is the real

questions, are Americans willing to go through some pain to stop that shit? Because guess what, Adam, you nailed it. Kids labor, like slave labor camps for kids to have cheaper phones. If you're really about people, you're really about America, and you care about the children, then we need to break off and it's gonna hurt. And I'm just, I'm one of those Americans that's America first, and guess what? If I have to pay a little bit more not to deal with these you know what, then so be it. Listen, what I say all the time is I believe the children are the future. I know.

You teach them well and let them lead the way. By the way, when you're saying that, when you're saying that, okay, and we can say that, but there's a lot of people that can't, and we can say that. But there's a lot of people that can't, don't have that luxury. There's a lot of people that are four weeks away from shutting down their businesses. There's a lot of people that are two weeks away, six weeks away.

They're very scared. There's a lot of scared people in America today, okay? And you know who the scared people are? Here's a crazy stat for you to be thinking about. In 19, I want to say 40, 82% of all jobs in America were created by small business owners. Okay? And that's 1940s. About 20 years ago, it was 55%. Now it's 45%. So the number of jobs being created by small business owners is getting less and less, and the more the jobs are being created by who? The big companies.

But the government or the big companies? No, no, big companies. Okay, gotcha. So small business owners, companies with less than 100 employees. It used to be 82% that would employ the American people, right? But now we're relying on these behemoth companies. You need the small business owners to stick around. You need the small business owners to have a fighting chance.

You need the small business owners that risk their savings, their 401k, they take some crazy risk to get a business going just because they have a small dream or maybe some of them have a big dream. So we have to understand that it is very valid the pain that they're going through and if you're a business owner out there, I feel your pain that you're going through. And if you're a business owner out there, I feel your pain that you're going through. When you're in it, it absolutely sucks. There's nothing like it when you're going through it. It's so scary.

Anxiety at night, fighting with your wife and kids, fighting with your husband, trying to take your kids out of private school, can't pay $1,500, you're back three months because you're trying to put the money in the business. We're going through it. However, I'm still optimistic that they're going to accelerate this process and get the negotiation going. I'm still optimistic. And I think if we are able to get India to scare the crap out of China a little bit that

can go away from you, this is good. They need a little bit of good news. Now let's go to the next thing here, minerals. Tom, I'm going to come to you with this one here. Trump says minerals deal with Ukraine to be signed next Thursday. This is very, very important if they pull this off. Rob, is this it? Is this the clip?

Go for it, buddy. You said we could see a minerals deal signed this week. Well we have a minerals deal which I guess is going to be signed on Thursday, Scott, next Thursday. Soon? Yeah. And I assume they're going to live up to the deal, so we'll see. But we have a deal on that. No, I have no comment on that.

I have no idea. That's his statement, not mine. He doesn't seem too confident about it. No. Okay, let me read the rest in time. I want to give it to you. So President Trump announced in the Oval Office of Prime Minister, George Maloney, that an 80-page mineral deal with Ukraine will be signed next Thursday.

Though Secretary Scott Besson clarified it would likely occur on April 26th, with the U.S. reducing its repayment demands for Ukraine and its fight against Russia from $300 billion to $100 billion. Ukrainian President Zelensky, after meeting with Trump administration, said good progress has been made and a memorandum of understanding could be signed at any moment, but Besant revealed Zelensky was supposed to sign that during his February visit, instead bypassing it for the big deal which Zelinsky refused causing the televised oval office confrontation which we've all seen that time go ahead

so there's the what and there's the how here's the what rare earth minerals are important lithium cobalt things like that they're in your phone they're in the batteries for EVs or in batteries on your phone as a matter of fact and they are critically important and they're called rare earth minerals because they're very rare. They're only in certain areas around the world. Just like gold is only in certain areas around the world, oil is only in certain areas around the world, so are these.

That's the what. We need that to keep driving a technologically advanced economy, and we need lots of that. We need a supply of that. And when we were dependent on the Middle East for oil in the 70s and early 80s that was bad. That's why drill baby drill because we have oil. We have it. Well for rare earth minerals it's not dig baby dig because we don't have them everywhere and so we need partners and recently China has said that as part of this

trade war that they are Embargoing us and saying you don't get the rare earth minerals This is exactly what Trump feared and that's why before everyone understood the how Why Trump was there at the Oval Office back with Vance and Zelensky when that whole thing happened You know going at each other there and he then refused to sign the minerals deal because Trump said, I got a great idea. I'll give you a little discount on what you owe me back, but then you can pay me in rare earth minerals that I need for my economy. The art of the deal, that was good.

And that slipped. Well, now we need it even more. And it appears there's no word of whether this was in there previously but it appears at what's on the table now and they call this a memorandum of understanding MOU that we're going to reduce what you owe from 300 to 100 and you're going to pay with the rare earth minerals if we get it done this is a good thing for the US economy to get access to the rare earth minerals. How much do you think Zelinsky knows that the US desperately needs that minerals deal and he's intentionally delaying it?

I think he knows it a lot and I think he's a player and I don't think he really cares about his country. I think there's a lot of things going on. Why would he delay? Give me three reasons why he would delay it. One is giving a middle finger to Trump. I get that. What else?

I think he wants more. I get that what else what what are two other ones more? I think he I don't think he wants a discount I think he wants cash because that's always what he comes looking for and they take the cash They skim it then they send some of it to Ironically back to US companies and they buy arms and stuff and I think he wants cash I think that's what it is. That's why he's manipulating it I think he also looks over his shoulder and saying, yeah, and I notice you don't have a deal with Greenland yet.

You only have this negotiated detente with Greenland, where Greenland is slow rolling China. Because remember, China's trying to get a deal with Greenland to dig rare earth in Greenland. So in addition to their own rare earth and to have their rare earth, they're trying to, China's's trying to play the monopoly game and get all the yellows because a set of yellows is rare earth minerals Which means they control any? Technology economies because they control that supply

That's what's going on and Greenland You know would be a big help and haven't heard words about Greenland recently because we've been trying to get that deal done. So I think Zelensky knows, I think he wants cash, he always wants a little more, always wants a little more. Let me ask you, let me ask you, who can help in this situation because Putin's also not helping, right? Putin's also not helping the fact that he's not wanting to come to the table. You know, it's almost like he's trying to say, hey Trump, mind your own business, I'm

dealing with my kid here, Ukraine, this is none of your business, leave it alone, I'll let you know when we want to do something, you don't dictate the terms. Is that kind of the vibe you get from Putin? That's the vibe I get, and there are two words that would, that the rest of the world would probably flip out at, but there's two words that Trump could utter to Putin to help move that forward, Crimea and Dornbus, and say, tell you what, we draw the new line, Crimea, Dornbus, we call off the war, we do all this, do you see what I mean? And I think, remember, Russia feels that that is

historically theirs. They feel that the creation of Ukraine stepped on their historical territory And they've been upset about it for you know As long as Ukraine has been separate and so I think that's what Putin also has his desires and its territory and what he says is legitimate You know Russian historical soil does Ukraine have a deal with China at all? Rob, can you check that? Does Ukraine have a deal with China on minerals? Do they have a mineral deal?

I don't think they need them, but let's just see if there's anything there. I haven't heard of one. Yeah. There's an internment in China, said he's actively engaged in Western nations, okay. Yeah, this is a pretzel, and this is really important. This is an important deal to get.

I don't know, Tom. I, they got a, there's 20 different ways you can get good news for the economy, okay? So, new jobs report, all right, cool. There are many different ways you can get good news for the economy. New jobs report, low unemployment, inflation, the stock market is doing well, crypto is up. We lowered our national debt. So far none of those we have.

We brokered a new trade deal, okay? What else, what else can you say? Yeah, the trade deal's not like India. Like hey, we're progressing with India. I changed my mind we're gonna move interest rates down. Right, I changed my mind, Jerome Powell, okay? Taxes are going down. The new tax plan is ready, it's going down.

Middle, especially for the middle class. For the middle class, yeah. That already is maxed out on credit cards so they can actually spend a little bit. Right, sales spending, consumer confidence is up, right? What good news do they have right now? Right now? Right now.

What good news do they have right now? Literally, JD Vance at the podium has been the best news that I've seen in about a week since the jobs report came out that showed February was pretty strong that was like a hard remember that that was like a hard number victory. Hey people are hiring things But since that you know we're looking looking for not sentiment, but looking for signatures and numbers That's what I'm waiting for signatures and numbers Adam So what's the question or do you want me to comment on what I'm coming on coming on what we just talked about? What would be good news for the economy a war for the economy overall? I mean everything's being disrupted right now

I was just I sent this to Rob you know I'm a fan of this guy for reads a cararia and he coined something called the post-American world and how essentially whether it's Trump sort of being the disruptor or whether it's the world sort of reacting and basically no longer necessarily relying on America, I could argue this is a good thing. I could argue that this is a bad thing. But the basic premise is now that the Trump administration has basically had this revolution on foreign policy, you know, economic nationalism, basically freeing ourselves from all these trade agreements, World Health Organization tariffs, everything that he's doing,

how every country is now going to seek independence from their dependence that they've had on America for the last 70 years, whether that's through protectionism or economic advancements or whether that's through literally us protecting them with our troops in our bases all around the world. But there's a part of this, I don't know if you can show this clip Rob or actually show the part of it, but they singled out at the very beginning they talked about now there's the I think the Foreign Minister of Singapore and basically the pro-american but they're also on Chinese side of the world and they basically have to balance there it is right here he said basically how America has changed from great liberator to great disruptor to now a landlord seeking rent and you know that's sort of a jab at Trump basically

saying time to pay up it's payback time which I understand but now if you kind of go on this clip the EU is now basically saying all right what's gonna like what's gonna the world is not the US is no longer prepared to underwrite the global order this makes for international environment far less orderly and predictable and there's probably one more quote that you can find from the EU right here. If it's coming up right here, here it goes. This is from Germany's likely next chancellor. They say Friedrich Merckx. He says that's Tom's accent. If you want to do it, Tom, my absolute priority would be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible.

So that step by step, we can really achieve independence from the USA. I never thought I'd have to say something like this, but after Donald Trump's statements, it is clear that the Americans, at least this part of the Americans, this administration, are largely indifferent to the fate of Europe. So I'm actually okay with some of this, but I also understand why this is a great disruption because we can't be the world's policeman.

We can't just take care of everybody because if America in my opinion, if America at this point was, if I could find an avatar for who America is, it'd be a rich, fat, bloated person like someone like JB Pritzker. Handing out cash to spoiled children. Exactly. We're rich. We got everything going on, but we're also very fat and bloated.

So something's going to have to give. And indifferent to the fate of Europe. Let me translate that willing to pay 70% of the cost of NATO. So let's make sure we understand what some of these statements are I'm other way. This guy's a Democrat. It's not like he's gonna be a pro-trump guy. Yeah, Frederick Mertz is a guy That's a Biden guy. He's not a Trump guy. So he's gonna make the come however, however, however, you're You're right. The one thing to be thinking about is the following very simple. Okay You're you're in a room You're you're negotiating a contract with a carrier, okay, you got one guy here. You got one guy here One of them has been a partner for you

you got one guy here. One of them has been a partner for you. The other one you don't trust at all whatsoever. I remember one time I brought a guy who was doing annuity for me. I won't say the company's name but it had to do with annuity marketing. Are you saying annuity? Annuities, yeah. I thought you said something else. I was getting a little turned on. What did I say? They said nudie. They said you're a nudie. I was like, Pat. I'm like, hey-o. So check this out. So this guy comes in and I told him, I said, a nudie. They said nudie. Oh no no. They said you're a nudie. I was like, pal. I'm like, hey-o. So check this out.

So this guy comes in and I told him, I said, look, we have one basic rule. When you talk to my agents, you're a wholesaler. You don't get to talk contract and commission on all that stuff. They said, we would never do that. That's a code in insurance. We'd never do that.

At my event, he goes to one of my guys, gives a number, does a side deal with them. I went up to him. I told him, I said, you and I can never do business together for the rest of your life That was in 2010. You know who we were in 2010 nothing You know how much leverage I had in 2010 this much. You know what the guy said who the hell are you? Yeah, do you get what I'm saying? Like he called your bluff. He's like, don't tell me what yeah, who the hell are you bro? You're small at a company now five years later. It's a different story. Now it's not who the hell are you.

Now it's like, no man, whatever you guys need, we gotta make you happy. So today, America is not who are you. America is still America. And nobody trusts China. So to me, this is a messaging issue that I think everybody needs to be on the same messaging over and over and over and over and over and over to say, here's how China is as a partner. Hey, everybody in the EU, in the Middle East, this is how China negotiates. Just so you know, we saw them under COVID, we saw how they negotiate, they'll steal

everything from you, they will never keep their commitment on their contract, they're not going to do it. So do you want to partner with somebody like that. Do you want to partner with somebody like that? Or do you want to partner with somebody like us? Who do you want to partner up with? And that doesn't mean the US is a perfect like we don't have any stuff that we bully and we challenge and we expect on all that other stuff. But that kind of comes with the territory when you got a good business.

Can I tell you, I so much agree with you, because what I've said so many times here is that Donald Trump is one of the most brilliant marketers we've ever had. But for some reason, when he's rolling out policies, he doesn't use his marketing skills as much as he should. Like he should be basically explaining guys, here's the plan. Here's what we're doing. You know, I've said this a million times, drain the swamp, lock her up, build the wall.

All of these great three word terms got him elected. So if you want to get a rate cut with Jerome Powell, cut that rate. If you want to deal with China, make China pay. It's so easy, but there's so much uncertainty in the marketplace. My one request for Trump is just be very clear on your messaging and America will be with you There's so much uncertainty and you're adding to the chaos by not being clear. I think he could do better on the messaging Yeah We'll see we'll see what's gonna happen there the reality of it is that we're still in the thick of things and

It doesn't look like a deal is around the corner yet specifically with one country everybody's looking at which is China and and it doesn't look like a deal is around the corner yet, specifically with one country everybody's looking at, which is China. And all the markets love the Indian news today. That's right. Green, green, green. So let's go to the next one. Trump's studying if removing Powell is an option.

Tom, is there anything new with this year of him removing Powell? No, it's just statements, you know, I'll remove you and everybody goes, how? Trust me, I'll figure something out. But he can't do it. No, he can't do it and I think, I think that's a little bit bluster, you know,

I'm supporting the guy I voted for but you know what, Powell says I don't see the facts that would lead me to cut the rate and I know you don't like that but I don't see the facts. Inflation's out of control, people aren't being laid off, so I'm not to cut the rate. And I know you don't like that, but I don't see the facts. Inflation's out of control, people aren't being laid off. So I'm not gonna cut the rate. Great, okay, so that one, we'll see what happened there. Let me go to the next story here.

White House pushes lab leak theory on new COVID website. Rob, if you wanna get that clip ready, Vinny, I'm gonna come to you with this one here. The new COVID.gov website redirecting from COVIDtest.gov promotes the lab leak theory claiming COVID-19 claiming, this is Forbes Magazine, the way they wrote it, claiming COVID-19 emerged from an accidental leak at the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory.

It draws from the Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Report. After action review of the COVID-led House Select Committee on the Coronavirus pandemic report. After action review of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lesson learned and a path forward, this contracts with a March 2020 National Nature Medicine report which states, we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible, supporting the Wuhan market origin. And then there's a bunch of other guys, the updates that critiques of Biden's administration pandemic response stating vaccines undoubtedly

saved millions of people's lives by diminishing likelihood, severe disease and death, but were exaggerated in effectiveness. It also claims masks, mandates, social distancing and lockdowns cause more harm than good. Is this a clip-rop? This is Anthony Fauci, the first time that he publicly denied that the COVID virus originated from the Wuhan lab and says it could have only come from nature.

Go for it. Yeah, please. I wanted to ask, Dr. Fauci, can you address these suggestions or concerns that this virus was somehow man-made, possibly came out of a laboratory in China? Do you want to go? Study this virus, what are the prospects of that? There was a study recently that we can make available to you where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists look at the sequences there and the sequences

in bats as they evolve and the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human. That's just professional double talk. Oh my God. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. of a species from an animal to a human. So that's just professional double talk. Oh my God. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And now even an eighth grader now listens to that

and the BS alarm goes off. You have to get it. Isn't that crazy? So Vinny, what do you know about it? What's going on? And if you don't mind, Pat, because I'm gonna kind of combine. This is nice work by the White House, by the way.

Oh yeah, well basically, and again, who are we just talking about? Who's our biggest threat, Tom, adversary, whatever you want to call them, with trade and again, who are we just talking about? Who's our biggest threat, Tom, adversary, whatever we want to call them with trade? China, right? This is, again, China being able to do whatever the hell they want to do with zero accountability. So in my opinion, that when people say deep state and all these players inside to keep them shielded, that's what it is.

And we already know about Joe Biden and his relationship with China and Hunter and all that stuff. But basically, you know, they're basically, it came from a lab. All right. I'm sick. I'm tired of this whole still lab leak theory. Okay. At what point are we just going to say, we know that it came from there.

But the real question is going to be, did you guys do it on purpose were you guys pissed at Trump did you guys want to shut down the world against trade who did it because this freaking Fauci it drives me crazy because he's still has facts what do we know so here's what we go I'm gonna start with with Cuomo too is that okay Pat? So Andrew Cuomo by by the way the author. You mean Chris Cuomo or Andrew Cuomo? Andrew Cuomo, author of the book, American Crisis Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic. He's been referred to the DOJ for criminal charges.

He's being hit for obstructing a congressional investigation into COVID nursing home deaths in New York. And this all alleged, his office covered up of the true death toll, altered state reports and lied to the DOJ and the public All while pushing a policy that forced kovat positive patients into nursing homes leading to deaths of thousands of innocent seniors now The oversight committee chairman James Comer has been referred Referred this to Pam Bondi and he said and I quote Andrew Cuomo is a man of history of corruption and deceit, now caught red-handed lying to Congress during the select committee's

investigation into COVID-19 nursing home tragedy in New York. Let's be clear, guys, that's lying to Congress is what James Comer is saying that this is all happening, right? And then right in the middle of all this, these are facts, Anthony, Mr Mr. Anthony Fauci while America was shut down and locked in and scared to breathe his net worth doubled all right guys going from 7.6 million to over 15 million between 2019 and 2022 okay he made 4 million in salary and government perks raked in 2 million in royalties and speaking gigs and pulled in another 1.6 million in investment gains. Oh, and by the way, his wife, who was recently stepped down or let go, Robbie, I don't know if she was fired or not, she brought in 1.6 million from her own government job, all while

Americans lost their businesses, buried family members, and were silenced if they spoke up. He was the highest paid federal employee in the government. And then, think about it, Joe Biden, yes or no, with the pen, if it was auto pen or not, Pat, gave this guy the green light to walk and never be prosecuted or nothing to happen to him. I think that there needs to be a full investigation. Please find out if that auto pen was actual auto pen and go after them, because this is what pisses me off, Pat. And this is one for, I want everybody to know this. nation, please find out if that auto pen was actual auto pen and go after them. Because this is what pisses me off, Pat.

And this is one for, I want everybody to know this. Are we going to let them slide for what they did? Are we going to let Fauci, Biden, the White House, that, Cuomo, or even Chris, and I love Chris together. Do you remember the video that Chris put out, Pat? Chris Cuomo put out a video on CNN and he said, you know what the biggest threat to enemy to America is? It's the fellow Americans. How are we gonna let, like, you mind if I play this?

Play this clip. Think about this, in a world of threats and tyrants, terror, you know what our biggest enemy is in America? Our fellow Americans. The pandemic is dispositive proof of that. The number of new covid cases going down. Deaths. Did you know that deaths this year.

Already surpassed 2020's. 352,000 now we're higher than that. And we have vaccines. How can we be dying more after we have what keeps you from dying? Okay, Robert, you can stop it because it keeps going on. How are we gonna let everything that they did to us, they destroyed the country, they destroyed the economy, they locked us down, they were telling us, get the vaccine, like, put this freaking experimental drug in your body, Fauci was behind all of it, all of them and then not everybody's in a walk

Nobody's gonna be held accountable like and I don't want I want us to stop and say no no before we move on to the next thing I want accountability gain of function Fauci lied in front of Congress over and over and over and people are dead because of him. Okay? And we're just supposed to say, okay, because he got a preemptive pardon, he's going to walk. And even Andrew Cuomo, all these people, they all lied and people lost their lives. And like, it pisses me off that people are just on to the next thing.

Like something has to be done, Pat. And if that is AutoPen, if Pam Bondi and the referring and James Koma referring, find out if that thing was actually happening and undo the freaking Fauci pardon and go after him. I think, Tom, isn't that only fair? Yeah, and I think the original topic here, the White House pushing lab leak, the site, and putting facts and history and items and then criticizing the Biden administration, criticizing the response. And I think the lab leak the White House has put out,

the White House is not kicking the can down the road. Now they've published, this is our point of view. And now the question is, will there ever be, you know, investigations, hearings or prosecution? Well, the guy at the middle of it has got a pardon. So what do you do with that guy? Yeah, but let me ask you a question. This lab leak theory, when are we going to stop and say, okay, we know it came from Wuhan?

Well, we're making progress though. Yep, but is China going to get held accountable? Even if they say it came from this lab? Let me tell you. So let me tell you what, okay, so do you think China is going to be held accountable for it? Nope. Tell me why.

We owe them too much. They have all these people, all these deep state people are in their pockets. Why else? Why won't they be held accountable? Right now. I mean, to me those are the two things. They're protected. In our government, they're protected. They were promised they're never going to get in trouble

And uh, we owe them too much money. What else is it though? We're also in the middle of a what negotiation? Yeah, so to me the timing of it now one angle to think about it is If you get 10 whistleblowers from the wuhan lab You bring them out and you call China and you say, hey, someone let you know. The world is about to lose trust in you. I got 10 whistleblowers.

They're protected, they're here with me, I'm not gonna give you the names. They're all about to go live next week. Stuff like this happens with politics, by the way. I'm not telling you anything that's like out of the ordinary. So, I don't know, if there's a way to use, you can never let a crisis go to waste, right?

Rahm Emanuel. If they can use this crisis as a negotiating point to help the economy or help the next deal, but you really need some proof. You really need some guys on the inside. You really need some recon, sending some CIA folks to get in there and get some real intel. If you have that, that's big. Like you know when Trump, you know, tied with relationship Roy Kohn and some of these other

guys, that's what their specialty was. The specialty was what? Blackmail. Bribery. Blackmail. Some of these guys. So I don't know. I think you can use this crisis as a way to further advance the agenda of negotiating

with China. I just don't know if we have all the intel or not. I'm not on the inside. I'm just a business guy. Adam. I love what Vinny's saying because you talk about this all the time, how everyone has a hill they're willing to die on. I don't wake up every day thinking about what happened during COVID if anything I'm like oh we're moving past that but I

appreciate that people like Vinnie are like no no no what's going on here buddy mr. Fauci not dr. Fauci because I totally understand why people have such a lack of respect and appreciation for this guy. Now he's a darling of the left. You know, I still see it. Tell me if you see this. I still see people in masks, zombie walk in these streets. What is happening? As if that mask is doing anything for you, bill. So I totally appreciate that. I remember speaking of the lab leak. I remember when it was just a crazy kooky conspiracy theory and then this thing happened. Can we play this? John or no

We can we're commenting. All right, so John Stewart goes on I remember Stephen Colbert after Stephen Colbert Did a mariachi samba dance for vaccines all vaccines. And mind you, before you play it, remember guys- So what year is this when we play this? This is 2022, I'm assuming? What year is this? And remember, if you talk about- What year is this, Rob? 2021.

2021. And remember this, if you, like, what we're doing now, if we did this during COVID, they would shut down the channel. One- Think about that. They would shut down the channel- You're absolutely right. Which, it boggles

my mind that they were suppressing it and now they're getting away with murder. We still have conversations about, should we talk about this? Should we not talk about this? I was like, yeah, you can't say the channel. I mean, hopefully guys, everything okay. We're having a discussion. But I remember this dance from Steven Colbert. Look how uncomfortable he is right now. Go ahead Stephen Colbert with John Stewart We owe a great debt of gratitude to science science has in many ways helped ease uh the suffering of this pandemic, uh Which was more than likely caused by science Here we go. Look how uncomfortable he is.

Because he works for the machines. And that's kind of... Hold on a second. No, no, no, no, no. Listen, listen. He's getting very uncomfortable. It's coffee, I wouldn't do that to you. I'm off of spintakes.

What do you mean by that? There's a chance that this was created in a lab? There's an investigation. A chance? Well, I don't... Oh my God! There's evidence on the media rights to know. There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do?

Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab. That's just a little too weird, don't you think? And then they ask those scientists, they're like, how did this, so wait a minute, you work at the Wuhan respiratory coronavirus lab. How did this happen?

And they're like, a pangolin kissed a turtle. It was a bat that I was eating in a wet market. The name of your lab. If you look at the name, look at the name. Let me see your business card. Show me your business card. Oh, I work at the coronavirus lab in Wuhan. You can pause it right there.

Such a good take by Jon Stewart. And you nailed it for negotiation for the trade thing, but I feel, my opinion, that one of the reasons it was released was because Trump was being so hard on them on trade and putting their foot to the fire. I don't disagree. Yeah, and it just drives me crazy that we've gotten all these promises from Epstein's list. By the way, Trump was shot in the head. We know more about that FSU guy in two hours

than we know anything about Thomas Crooks, guy with six cell phones, communicating with Ukraine, same thing with Ryan Rolfe, Ukraine, all these connections. No COVID answers, no nothing answers. It's just, as the average American, it really, really disappoints me that these people are getting away with it. I just fully agree we need to hold China accountable. Like I said before in the previous segment, make China pay. The one thing I will say that that COVID did do for me, you know, everything like this is that it completely pierced the bubble that I was potentially living in where I was like, what do you mean the mainstream media would lie to you? Yeah, let's go to this next. What do you mean about that? All right, so is this Congresswoman is in a supermarket ride, if I'm not mistaken, right?

And she starts recording this guy who is, you know, being a little bit obnoxious to her, and she just records it. Watch this exchange here, go for it. You're talking about Nancy Mace. Nancy Mace, yes, watch this folks. Congressman South Carolina. Nancy?ace. Nancy Mace, yes. Watch this, folks. Congressman South Carolina. Nancy? Yes.

When are you going to host a real town hall for the people? Did you miss the 15 I had last year? That wasn't a town hall. When are you going to host one this year? I've already had one. We'll have a dozen more. The town hall you hosted this year was not a town hall. It was a town hall.

And I do them every year. Every year? You want to keep going? Are you going to do any more this year? You want to keep going? Are you going to keep harassing me? and I do them every year. Do you want to keep going? Do you want to keep going? Are you going to do it? I'm asking if you're going to have any more town halls this year. I asked if you're doing any more this year. It was one simple question.

Yeah. Are you doing a town hall this year? Are you doing any more this year? It was a simple question. You're always invited. Okay. Sweet. Well, look out for an actual invitation for the next one.

By the way, I voted for gay marriage twice. What does that have to do with me? So I'm just saying. It has to do with everything to do with you. you think everything about me has to do with gay marriage That's your first dance when you speak with me. There's no other There's no other humane thing you can talk about me just saying oh I support I know but the other video doesn't show the entire interaction.

It shows where Nancy Maze picks up and starts recording. So now you, yeah. Can you show the other video, because it'd be important to see what the other guy looks like. You also see her. Yeah, and while he's doing it, Rob. Rob wanted to get the low angle.

No, no, no, no. What he's trying to do is, because this is how it started, because the guy's recording her, because he knows he wants to get into a confrontation with her Because she's anti-trans That's for what a little bit Rob, 30 seconds I think Yeah, that's good, go for it

Do you think everything about me has to do with gay marriage? I do, absolutely Yep, absolutely If you want to get in my face about town halls you should have shown up to one last year There's no other thing you can talk about me just saying oh I support gay marriage Yeah, because you're getting in my face about a town hall and you could have gone last year. You can talk about me just saying oh I support gay marriage. Yeah because you're getting in my face about a town hall and you could have gone last year. Would you like me? I have town halls every year. I have over a dozen every year. Great that was my entire question. You didn't have to go to this. You could have

you could have come to any of them last year. I had over a dozen. Where were you the year before that or the year before that? Or the year before that? Oh, because you know what? Because you people on the left are crazy. You're absolutely fucking crazy. You are, and get out of my face. Goodbye. Fuck you.

Yep, bye. I'm not, I'm not. I won by so much. I'm not, I'm not, I won by so much. You're a disgrace to this state, that's what you are. You're a disgrace. I asked you a simple question and you just to go on this tirade and tell me fuck you. Yeah, fuck you.

Disgusting. Get out of my face. Fuck you. Get out of my face. Try it again. What's your name? You're a nasty bitch. What's your name? You're a nasty bitch.

What's your name? You say fuck me? Yep, I sure did. You're saying it's fuck me? Absolutely. I'm asking you a question. Get the fuck out of my face. Fuck you.

Now. Fuck you. You couldn't take me on, baby. Say the fuck out of my face now. Fuck you. You couldn't take me on baby. Say the fuck away from me. Guys, by the way, for the people that don't know, and I'll tell you right now, and Rob, can you play the one that, because I want Pat's reaction. It's one of the fun, it's the second funniest thing that we're going to show, the one where it's the transgender, she's doing this, I think it was later that day or yesterday. With Nancy Mase? uh... she's doing this i think it was later that day or yesterday with with nancy mace nancy mace is doing a speaking engagement and uh... a

transgender is saying something about her saying the word tranny now pack listen this i thought this was a female at the beginning it's a guy dressed as a girl and listen to the voice deepened it's not only scary it's hilarious and let's just really fast nancy maceace is the congresswoman who doesn't want men to go into women's bathrooms, especially in congress, and now that whole LGBTQ, LLP, whatever, LMNOP community is going after her. Pat, this is, I think, I believe

yesterday and listen to the voice change. Rob, if you could put it up so Pat could hear it. Does your husband boyfabe? I'm not married. Okay, so even better. And I don't, I don't hear. Okay, so I would like Rachel to tell you guys. That's a girl. No, it's not one. Apologize for saying Tranny. Tranny, the rockatory you.

Wow. Of course the rockatory you. Tranny. Go back, go back. Look at Pat's face. Look at Pat's face. What? Do it again Rob. Yeah

Face look at that. So that is a new to get rough Taking my bush and going home. Okay. Adam, thoughts on this exchange with Nancy Mase? Well, the second one or the first one? First one. The first one, I actually think Nancy's mostly in the wrong. You're at a public forum. You're at what looks like a CBS or Walgreens or whatever.

The guy was not as sassy as the article made it out to be. His shorts were a little bit lower than I thought they would be. No doubt. He's like, he basically said, Hey, when's your next town hall? He wasn't like, fuck you. He said, when's your next town hall? And she was quick on the trigger. I mean, she's, I think she went to the Citadel, right?

She was like one of the first women, if not the first person to graduate from the from the Citadel from the some certain segment of The core of cadets of the Citadel you can fact-check that so she's a badass I get it, but you know, sometimes when you have a trigger finger, you're a little quick on the trigger So all he said was hey, when's your next town hall? And it devolved into no, you, no, you. What? I think it's a little aggressive on her part. Not a good look for her. Yeah. Go ahead, Tom. I'll, I'll, I'll let you know what I'm going to say. So do you know how many times, you know, you can't go to the store as a house representative or a Senator, anybody, you can't go to dinner You can't go places we see it the people just get in your face. And so does she have a quick trigger?

Maybe you know this guy was playing this little game of kind of you didn't answer the question You didn't answer a question. She said I did 12 hot town halls last year. I'm doing town halls this year You want you go to last year this year? So I agree that she was a little maybe quick on the trigger but how many times do you think folks are getting in her face and so they end up with a Naturally quick trigger look at look at the way athletes evolve as they get fame There are those that know how to deal with it and they have a handler get you in and out of restaurants and they have those sometimes gets a little

Good, you know sometimes gets a little, they get a little chippy with people because you know, you drop the ball, you don't know this. And in this case, yeah, she a little quick. Yeah, maybe. A little quick, but you know what? I'm for her because you know what? She is a female, a rape victim female that is pro-woman, obviously.

She's been sticking up for women. She's sticking up for women not to have men be in the bathroom with women in Congress. And did you see the backlash? Or schools specifically. And schools, did you see the backlash of death threats and things from the LGBTQ trans whatever community threatening her life to kill her all over the internet?

And that's when you're just fed up with it, Adam. When that whole, and mind you, they're all lumped in. Since you guys all wanna be in this community under the same umbrella, the rainbow umbrella, I'm sorry, she's fed up with it. It's like, bro, this is one issue that she's stanging on, and guess what? She should.

No man should be in any bathroom with, if I walked into a bathroom and a guy dressed as a woman is in the bathroom and his daughters or my sister or my nieces in there, it's going to be a problem. Period. And the story. And this guy, this transgender who changed his voice into this picked up a plant. The second clip.

Hey, picked up a plant. He was ready to throw it at her. That's the, dude, they're the violent ones. It's them. There's no, there's no transfer. I totally agree with that. Nobody's scared of transgenders, bro Just do your thing our thing is stay out of the bathrooms and leave the kids alone

It's that simple if you're gonna step to her in public She can say whatever the hell she wants leave her alone leave her alone So do I agree do I agree with her her policies do I agree with her beliefs? So I understand that she had a sexual assault. I think at one time. I know that she's definitely against Men and women's I'm fully agree with her. But let me tell you how things work. Because how many times have you been approached in public PBD? How many times a lot so much you can't even count. If every single time you're ready to have a fight with somebody, you're going to have a very miserable life, you're going to have a very miserable existence. You know, I remember one time we were at the, your favorite Chinese restaurant, Japanese

restaurant in California, Yoshi, no, yeah. Okay. And some guy, some guy steps to PBD. I don't, I don't agree with you at 11 PM. Exactly. This is right after we were at the, um, the bait, the Republican debate in California at Semi Valley in Reagan. And some guy, he was, you know, you could tell he was a worker, you know, he had paint on his overalls kind of a guy. And he kind of like stepped to PBD, not disrespectfully, but he kind of came up almost like this guy challenging, uh, Nancy Macy goes, yeah, I don't like that. You talk trash about California. And then PBD is an interaction was, Oh really? Tell me why. So you don't like how you, you're calling out California. I love California. And PB reaction was, Oh really tell me why. So you don't like how you you're calling out California. I love California.

And people he said, well, let me ask you something. And what happened was a very contentious situation that could have been bad, actually being a very harmonious, great conversation. So that's the type of thing that these politicians were quick on the trigger should probably do because how many times how many people are gonna see this and be like oh If I run into this lady in public, I know it's on it's a very very unfun existence If she would have said well actually we do town halls Next month is coming up. Can I send you an invite nice shorts? Oh, yeah, like do you really want to go around life like that challenging every single person?

The guy wasn't that disrespectful for community? She's the person that said if you first the community the person community of a community is threatening my life Adam. Yes I'm fine. What do you mean? What is that? LGBTQ community is threatened to kill her online. They make videos of her saying we're gonna get you but like whatever I'm not yeah, but that's okay This is a video Nancy Mace released after the confrontation with the man in the daisy dukes at the wall greens where she talks about the confrontation Today her first day as comms director is daisy dukes day. Yeah that guy

It's not the first time i've ever had i've ever used Language with people before and it certainly won't be the last You don't have the right to harass me. It's not ever gonna be okay. If you want to get in my face, expect it right back and I will record you and I will make you famous. Bingo. I don't know. Alright. What do you think, PBD? I want to actually get your take on this because... Let me tell you what I learned a long time ago. If something traumatic happens to you that creates, causes you to have a certain set of beliefs

and value system based on trauma, never debate that person. There's no point to it. It's trauma. If it's not based on reason. For example, you hate guns because your family was all Second Amendment. You're in Oklahoma.

Your two-year-old daughter accidentally grabs the gun and boom, your oldest son may never forgive you and he may never be a fan of guns. Hypothetically, I'm just making this up. Good luck trying to argue with that guy to say you're wrong. He said, no, no, I will never see my sister ever again. The last time I saw my sister was two years old. So I mean, I get it.

I understand where she's at and it's stuff that's happened to her that's personal. When that happens, you're not gonna change her mind. This is what you get with her. Does she create unnecessary drama? The end of the day, we're talking about her on the podcast so who knows maybe It's it's helping her out But you're right it is gonna attract other people that if they want eyeballs just go up to her because you know how to get

Under her skin easily okay alright, so let's go to the next story here next I'm gonna go to Harvard Tom So now I'm gonna go to Harvard. I'm gonna go to the Harvard story. I just wanna make sure I clarify that, yeah. So here's, with Harvard folks, there's some interesting things going on over there. Where is that story? Is that story on the addendum, Rob, or is it on the... Rob, if you can do me a favor. Yes. Because it's the sequencing, right?

Because first the Trump administration says, we're not gonna be funding you. Then two, Harvard sues the Trump administration, right? Because first the Trump administration says we're not going to be funding you. Then two, Harvard sues the Trump administration, right? Then three, Trump's administration, irate at Harvard, plans to pull additional billion dollars in funding. This is the Page Three Wall Street Journal, Rob. It looks like you got a video here. I'll read this and then if you want to play the clip. The Trump administration, furious after Harvard publicly released a long list of demands sent on April 11, plans to pull an additional billion dollars in health research funding. The demands included federal government oversight of admissions, hiring, and the ideology of

students and staff. Harvard's President Alan Garber stated, �The intention is not to work with us to address anti-Semitism in a cooperative and constructive manner and confirmed we will not accept their proposed agreement. The administration initially planning leniency now seeks to pressure Harvard from more than Columbia University. Harvard's release of the demands letter from the task force to combat anti-semitism, which was not marked private

Positioned the university as a face of resistance the administration froze 2.26 billion dollars in funding and threatened Harvard's tax exempt status and International student role go ahead Rob They're obviously anti-semitic and all of a sudden they're starting to behave. But when you see where they, what they were saying, what they were doing, when you see the way they took care of events, when you watch that woman, that horrendous president that ruined the image of Harvard, maybe permanently, in Congress, in the halls of Congress, when you take a look at what happened there.

It was horrific. And you know, I've looked at a lot having to do with it. I'm not involved in it being handled by lawyers. I read about it just like you did. But tax-exempt status, I mean it's a privilege. It's really a privilege and it's been abused by a lot more than Harvard. By a lot more than Harvard. So we'll see how that all works out. I don't think they've made a final ruling. Tom. I don't believe they've made a

final ruling. Go for it, Tom. So starting starting we have to remember this started this didn't start with Trump this started with you know Jewish students on campus not being protected and then a president sitting in front of Congress admitting By saying oh, I'm not answering that question. That's not what we've done, but admitting it and then she you know suffers a consequence When she goes back because he's right. And now what they're saying is saying, look, you seem to say you're a private institution when that works for you. And now you're upset at me. This is public money. This money that they're getting from the US government for research or whatever they're doing at the university

started with the taxpayers. Started with you. You gave $4 to Harvard last year, Vinny. You just don't know it, right? I mean, you take a look at the hundreds of millions of dollars that went there. Vinny? You gave money to Harvard last year? No, I didn't.

Yes, you did. I did? In your taxes. Literally, that's what he's saying. That's not cool. Public money is out of your taxes that you they collected 2.26 billion dollars of it went to Harvard last year. So you're probably four dollars of it or I'm not Go ahead Tom. There you go. And so Harvard likes to say oh, we're private. Leave us alone

We're private and then the government and the government is saying okay. Well, then you go live your private life I'll just turn off this valve and I'm not gonna send send you this money." And they're like, wait a minute. It reminds me of a, you can't live in two worlds and Harvard's trying to live in two worlds right now and they are getting called out. But what they're getting called out is the onion's getting peeled back. You had the Yale case where Yale got sued by Asian students saying, we're being discriminated against, and when you line up the applications and our credentials and our test scores, numbers, why aren't we getting admitted?

Well, because we're doing some other things. Yeah, you were, and then Yale ended up in front of the Justice Department under Biden. Harvard's heading for the same place and Harvard is absolutely in the wrong here and Now you've got I love Linda McMahon. Okay. Well, then there's no problem telling us all about your sources of foreign funding and where you're getting it But you're but you're private not want that they don't want to talk about that and then he's saying, you know I have filed section 117 reports for decades, okay

We're not asking if you filed section 117 reports for decades. We're asking if you can identify all the sources on all Section 117 reports or maybe did you not file all of the reports you're supposed to? This is not good for Harvard because when discovery comes, by the way, this is Scott Jennings, the CEO of CNN. Have it a conversation with Jamil Hill. Is that Jamil Hill? I want to say it correctly. Watch this exchange about Harvard and look what her logic is.

Go ahead, Rob. You admit that you want universities to exclude everyone. No, because there's no proof that they're actually being excluded. No, there isn't. 96% of contributions from Harvard faculty went to Democrats. What else you got? OK, so you're talking about contribution.

I'm talking about who's actually on campus. Who is teaching people? How you contribute is what you teach. I teach there. Believe me. OK, so clearly you used to teach there, right? Yeah, I was treated like an exotic zoo animal. Trust me.

Oh, I'm sure. The faculty is not conservative. Believe me. Oh, OK. So at Harvard, I just imagine all of these conservative politicians that go there, they go there because they don't feel welcome. They just go there, go there?

If you're trying to come on here tonight and argue that Harvard is a hotbed of conservatism, I'm not. I'm just saying that they're not. So are we going to do the same thing at Baylor? Are we going to do the same thing at Liberty? Are we going to invite more liberal thoughts to those universities?

I think at public universities or any university taking public funds is violating the civil rights of Jewish students or actively screening out conservatives and conservative viewpoints we need to have a conversation. By the way so let me tell you what happened with me. I got accepted into this program with Harvard called OPM, owner president management program and I went in 2015 and I'm excited so we get an RV and we you know get the RV out there it's me Mario and Paul okay and while I'm there the experience was a great experience because the attendees that are there but guess what day it falls on it falls on the day because

you'd be in jail debate what 16 Trump vs. Hillary you're right're right. I am in the chow hall. Chow hall is what it's called because a man named chow gave a hundred dollars. Not military. Not chow hall like military demands them go to Harvard tap and Harvard chow hall. It's like Mr. H a yeah brother chow. But it's a ch a o chow hall chow. Oh, oh Rob chow. Chow hall. Chow, oh, oh Rob. Chow hall. Chow, hall. Oh, Rob is not gonna get it. Ruth was in the chow center? Okay.

Anyways, it's a place where we're eating food. So they say everyone's gonna watch the debate in the chow hall, by the stairs. What do I do? I go, okay? And keep in mind, this isn't at a time where we're doing PBD Podcasts. This is 2016.

We're not doing PBD Podcasts. We're not doing any of that stuff. And I'm there, and I sit and watch everybody. I don't make a single noise. Vinny, do you know how many people, out of the 300 people in the room, rooted for Trump once, do you know how many people? Zero!

Zero! You know what's the next thing I did? I went straight to the administrator. I said, can I ask you a question? Do you guys like debate here? Of course we do. How come all of you are for Hillary? No we're not. I said, tell me one person here is not for Hillary.

Go ahead. You know me when we go to Chaps, I'm gonna bring up the conversation. So tell me, how come none of you guys are rooting for Trump? You don't like, he's not a good guy? Is that what it is how come none of you guys are rooting for Trump? He's not a good guy? Is that what it is? So all of you guys know what's right for the rest of us. Is that what it is?

I said, I can't come back to Harvard again. Why? Because you guys don't believe in debate. This is not a place where you guys believe in debate. This is a place where you guys wanna brainwash everybody to think the way you think. This is not a place where you welcome debate. You all look down at people like me debate you all look down at people like me

You all look down at people like us who have a different opinion on what could happen right and Harvard's going through right now I'm telling you if discovery opens up it is gonna be horrible for Harvard Adam Well, this is a shock to nobody. I mean how many what percentage of university? Professors lean liberal versus conservative. I think was 13 to, what percentage of university professors lean liberal versus conservative? I think it was 13 to 1. It could be even higher at this point. 13 to 1. Yeah, every one conservative, 13 is liberal. Yeah, there's actually a new report out there that could be as high as 28 to 1. Harvard

studies indicate that over 80% of Harvard faculty identify as liberal, only 2% identify as conservative, which is 18%. Is that according to Chad GBT? This is according to Chad GBT. Can you tell Rob to ask this question? Because Chad GBT is owned by OpenAI. What question did you ask, by the way? I said, what percentage of university professors are liberal versus conservative, and then find out what Harvard was.

I'm sorry, Harvard was. Howard is a different university. But nobody's shocked to hear what's going on here. And you know you talked about the hotbed of this type of mentality. Harvard is the tip of the spear with this. Yeah. Go a little lower and then ask specifically about Harvard Yeah, it should maybe pop down over there asking about Harvard, but it's as high as possibly 28 to 1 33 to 1 ratio. Yeah, so oh my god I'm not in favor of government overreach or the federal government stepping in here But when you have a massive monopoly, what's the definition of monopoly over 50% over 75% of market share, whatever it is, this is 98, 99% of university

professors. By the way, what's very liberal? What's very liberal? Socialist. Woke Communist. Like you think Hamas should run the country somehow, something like that. So like the guy that's running against Cuomo in New York. 2.5. But I remember when we were researching Harvard, when Claudine Gay and the university professors are

getting grilled by Elise Stefanik. And I was like, what the hell is going on here? And Harvard, it's called FIRE, like Freedom Index of, find that, Freedom of Speech. Harvard was the least free university for free speech. Harvard. It's called fire free speech rankings. Here you go. Fire 2024 college free speech rankings. Harvard university received a score of zero placing it last among the 251 universities survey. The score is considered way to go there abysmal and significantly lower than

average Harvard's actual score was negative,ysmal and significantly lower than average. Harvard's actual score was negative, negative 10 which is rounded out. What does negative mean? Meaning like suppressive. That's a good word. So when Peabody tells a story about he went to Harvard and everyone was against Trump, everyone was rooting for Hillary, this is no longer- And by the way, Adam, keep this in mind. Everyone in the business

department... Do you understand? This is not poli-sci or law. This is in liberal arts. In business. Insane. Yeah. So when you talk about the East Coast liberal elites and their ivory towers, Harvard is center stage for that type of mentality. By the way, there's's a trickle down effect, whether it's starboard, Stanford, whether it's Cal Berkeley, whether it's GW, whether it's Columbia in New York, whether it's GW, this type of mentality is now pervasive. So now we have adults who are going to send their very smart children like Tom Ellsworth, who should I go to send to Harvard? Should I send them to Stanford? Or should I send them to Rice? It's like well, let me actually go to a university that they're not gonna come down come out indoctrinated with Basically Marxist ideology at Harvard. It's very concerning

If Tico was in Harvard I get in three days You'd get a phone call and be like I can't you can't maybe one day You wouldn't be able to I don't know how they do it. And then we wonder why all the youth, a lot of them have lost their freaking minds. They're getting brainwashed. There is a video that's gone viral on X. And it's these identical twins in Australia

who are literally speaking in sync at the same time. Rob, I don't know if you have this. You know what it is? So they're identical, Pat. They witnessed an armed carjacking in Queensland, Australia. And the twins. This is real, this isn't fake. Guys, this is not fake.

I looked it up, trust me. I not only looked it up, I Googled it and I chatted with you. Bridget Powers and Paula Powers explain how their mom came face to face with a carjacker. If this doesn make you laugh and make your day I don't know what can't see this Rob Witnesses are recounting some of the drama that unfolded on the Sunshine Coast this afternoon. Two sisters have told how their mother and man raced to help when the carjacked SUV rolled on Steve Irwin Way only to find the gun-wielding car thief emerging from the wreck. Here's some of what they had to say. And one guy, he was up there with our mum and he went up there and he was coming back down towards us and he goes, run, he's got a gun. And our hearts started to pound.

And I said, well, mom, where's mom? And poor mama was stuck up there by the pan for you, our brave mom. She goes, are you all right? Because he had all blood all over his face. And he goes, I'll shoot you. She goes, hey, I'm here to help. And mom distracted him to make him look the other way. I'll shoot you she goes hey, I'm here to help and I'm distracting

To make him look the other way and he looked the other way And I ran into the bush behind the fence and the guy goes to her I'll find you and I'll shoot you All I was thinking about when we were running I hope he doesn't fire Yeah, we were so close I hope he doesn't fire This reminds me of the clip of the play of the mainstream media they're all saying the same thing in unison Information you see on the internet is not exactly entitled to believe hey to bring them Well from a parenting perspective this is this is a miracle because I think as Pat, myself, anybody that has multiple children,

getting the same story from two children at the same time is rare. You know what, Tom? Maybe there's something there. Maybe there's something there. If that was me and my brother, I'd be like, yo, can you shut up for two seconds and let me finish? Maybe there's something there.

Maybe there's something there. Oh my God, that's so freaking funny, man. Maybe there's something there. All right, so I wanna show you guys this here, Rob. Okay, this here is a clip. Rob, if you can go to the stories that I have, it says man needs two guy nights a week to stay healthy. Study say, okay?

Go to it right there, zoom in a little bit if you could. An Oxford University study finds men require two guys nights a week to maintain mental and physical well-being, led by psychologist Robin Dunbar. Researchers say meeting up twice weekly with your closest friends whenever over a pint or football match strengthens bond and protects against depression and job-related stress. The team link regular male gatherings to lower anxiety levels, quicker recovery levels from

illness, and even increased generosity among participants, yet roughly 40% of men currently manage only one weekly meetup, failing, falling short of the twice weekly threshold for maximum benefits. Do you know why that's, I have, you know why I bought bunk beds for my house? What is that? So Tom comes over twice a week.

Is that what you guys are doing now? Tom stays over. He gets the top because I respect him. You know what I mean? Tom stays over and we, we don't, I don't drink, Tom doesn't drink like that. And then we just, we just put on a football game and we just get into it, and then that's it That's called sleep twice a week. You know I see this you know what I think that's not gay at all Vinnie

No, what do you mean? It's for his house I'd find out that look at that word Requires two guys nights. I'm helping what are you talking about? He needs it Yeah, oh, I bet you he needs it. Whenever you see a university does a study, somebody paid for the study. Yeah, for sure.

Right, like this public money. So who would pay for this, a bar? Yeah, it's the London Association of Pubs probably paid Oxford for this. They're going to bars not enough times. Wait a minute. The conclusion of our study is two nights a week you need to be at the pub.

And drink. Pub owners rejoice at results of new study. But I mean, can you see, Peli, let's just say somebody's, you know, I'm married and it's just, he's at the house with the family, with the kids, you know, and they're just all about that. A break to be, cause I don't know, cause I'm a single guy. Like, don't you think to be with your friends and get that vibe is good. Oh no, for sure.

Increase generosity too. Yeah. You want a beer? Yeah, exactly. For no, for sure. Increased generosity too. Yeah. Want a beer? Yeah, yeah, exactly. For sure it's necessary. There is no question about it. That camaraderie, the community be a part of for sure. Adam, your thoughts on this? I'm a man. I'm 40. You ever seen that clip? Yeah. So, uh, yeah, every guy needs to have buddies, but you know, you see these reports out there that compared to 1980 to basically 2025 men have way less friends that they used to have.

Have you ever seen these reports out there? Yes. You know, I say this all the time about social media is not socializing. So many people are like, I, you know, COVID killed everybody like literally like that, but they, they forced us all to stay as a recluse in our homes, stay on social media and keep our faces and screens rather than being interacting with others. You know, the most important thing that you can possibly have in your life is health. The next thing is relationships, whether that's friendships, whether there's partnerships,

whether that's actually hanging out with people, any sort of relationships. I fully advocate that guys get out there and God do, do guy things with other men. I don't think you need to go get bunk beds like Tom and Vinnie out here, but I think that, you know, behind the scenes, nobody understands that it's just guys just hanging out and having guy friends. That's just really what this comes down to. I also believe the same thing about girls. Show me a girl that does not have girlfriends and only has guy friends. I'll show you a girl that probably has a lot of guy friends. Show me a guy that only has girlfriends and no guy friends. I'll show you a very weak feckless man. Does he wear shorts?

Some people, very short shorts. So a lot of guys hit me up on my neck and say hey in Miami how do I go out there? How do I meet women? I said before you go out there and meet women make sure you have guy friends. Like go out there and hang out with guys. Like try guys first before you try. Definitely don't. I'm definitely not advocating that is that if you want to go out and have like people to hang out with don't be that dude who's just running solo status like a lone wolf have some buddies to hang out with. So whether it's going out trying to meet some people whether it's business whether it's networking a guy needs to have guys to hang out with. And if you have a friend that's married and you know what invite him over twice a week

right Tom? What is happening week, right? Tom? What is happening between Vinny and Tom? I love him. As much as we're joking, this is so important. As much as we're joking, this is so important. Men need this. As much as we're joking, this is so important for guys to have guys to just sit down and talk to to know you are going to similar issues that other men are as well. You're not alone. Marriage is tough. Being a man, you know, paying bills, taking care of yourself, health, finances, economy, kids, all that stuff. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of work and the pressure is on you to perform. So that's why you need the company to be around other men. Okay, all right, let's go to

the next story here. Rob, can you pull up Ben Affleck's clip? Folks, watch this here. So Ben has got a movie coming out with... Is it already out, bud? One of my favorite directors, I think it's coming out this weekend, Gavin O'Connor, start of a guy, Accountant Two, okay? And this is Ben Affleck being asked about California and the movie industry.

Watch what he said. He did not hold back. Go for it, Rob. Other places will have better exchange rates or tax rebate deals that are meant to lure this industry there because they understand how stimulative it is for their economies. I think part of the problem with California is that they came to take this industry for granted a little bit. Now, I will say the current governor I think doubled the tax rebate amount in bulk available, but the percentage

that you get back in terms of the actual budget doesn't compete with places like England, which is why you see a lot of these big huge movies shoot in the UK, or even, you know, I mean there have been New Mexico and Louisiana and Texas and Massachusetts and New Jersey, a lot Georgia. Yeah, people give these tax rebates and they've been sort of controversial but one of the things that happens is that it does because people who where this used to be the center of that

to to move to other states for work and it's really the technicians the crew make or break your movie and that you need the best people you need the people i as a director i know that to be true and so if people move away, you know, that really hurts the industry. Tom thoughts? Well, there you go. It's simple.

It's choice. It's a freedom of choice. And if it's a constrictive environment full of regulations and taxations, and Georgia or New Mexico or any of those other states or England says, hey, you know what, if you want to film movies here, we got a special tax rebate for you so because we know you provide a lot of temporary employment project-based employment it's kind of seasonal for your movie and we'd love to have you here you know have at it and we got a lot of wonderful scenery here in London to go film you know

wherever you want to be and then there you there you have it and so what is that clip you just pulled up? Vinny just sent me this. This is Rob Lowe and the actor from, you know him. Yeah, Parks and Rec. Yes, Parks and Rec. He goes in on Hollywood and how it's cheaper to bring 100 Americans to Ireland,

then go right across the Fox lot and go there. This is, I think, this is like a month ago. This is actually a really good clip. Go ahead, Rob. For there. It's cheaper to bring 100 American people to Ireland than to walk across the lot, Fox, right? Pass the sound stages and do it there.

Crazy. Do you think if we shot parks right now, we would be in Budapest? 100% we would be. We'd be in Budapest. We would be- It's so weird there's nothing shoots in Los Angeles. Nothing.

Nothing. We'd be in Budapest. We would be- It's so weird, there's nothing shoots in Los Angeles. Nothing, nothing. I had my next show already done, scripts, deals closed. And they said, we're shooting this in New York. And I said, I'm not moving to New York to do this. And then it went away, the show's done, I'm not doing it. Wow. Wow. Finished, not doing it, not shooting.

Just because he doesn't wanna go to New York. Yeah, he doesn't want to go to New York Well if Trump hears about this he's not gonna be a fan of this cuz he's trying to keep jobs in America Okay, he's gonna put tariffs on every other country out there. They're trying to export this is actors through other countries exactly This is an industry saying exactly what individuals have been saying? Like what I said and what Pat said when we left California and went to Texas and then we went from Texas to here We weren't upset with Texas. There's just tremendous opportunity down here and we have the some businesses that were getting built So that's it. Yeah. Yeah

I mean the the Hollywood monopoly on the acting and film industry has completely Bursted what did they say over here that 58% decline? Film LA reported an annual production from 21 2021 to 2024 so they no longer have a stranglehold on this. Oh, it's all you know when you add up Netflix Amazon Hulu Paramount this that the other social media Instagram Not to mention YouTube Spotify everything there that you have so many options how to make movies these days and how to put your get your distribution out there And then you add on a little bit of Hollywood

Literal fairy dust go woke go broke. You're gonna look into other options there's other competition you get tax rebates that Ben Affleck was talking about you have states like Georgia you have you have states like Louisiana New Mexico I believe they're gonna incentivize you to basically shoot elsewhere so you no longer need to be in Hollywood and either they're gonna adapt or they're gonna die and what are die. And you nailed that on everybody. Even Dennis Quaid said it. He's bragging about Texas becoming the new Hollywood. And it's like, bro, California, Texas, Texas, Texas, Georgia, Georgia, Spaghetti West taxes are lower. The regulations are looser and they're actually welcome. But bro, you know, I blame California, the governor, Tom, California used to be the beating heart of the end. It's Hollywood, California

Okay. Now it's just crime. No water. No leadership. No nothing. How do you weird Hollywood? He taxed the industry to death and then he let crime and homelessness run wild He pushed everybody out and even you you mean to tell me taking a hundred people and that's a big production And you guys can't shoot here You have to fly the whole crew to Ireland, bro, instead of going to Fox. That is, dude, that is not good, man. It's, it's, it's.

That's why Conor McGregor is very upset. He's calling it an invasion. Texas is the new Hollywood because California became Detroit with a coastline. That's what happened. Whoa. That's what happened, Tom. There's a t-shirt.

And by the way, did you guys see Jeremy Gray was at the White House? I saw Vince Vaughn. You see that? Jeremy Gray, Vince Vaughn from Whitting Crash you guys see Jeremy Gray was at the White House? I saw Vince Vaughn. You see that? Jeremy Gray, Vince Vaughn from Wooden Crashers. Oh, Jeremy Gray. He's a maple syrup conglomerate. I thought this was a joke.

White House crashers. That's hilarious. Yeah, he went to the White House. Look at him. We're all happy he is. One of the best, one of my favorite, favorite actors of all time is this guy. He's just so likable.

He is so likable. We watched Old School the other day with the boys. I told him, I said, listen guys, you can't go to school and tell him your dad let you watch Old School. But I'll announce it on the podcast. No one will know. Pat, I just got one thing to tell you, man.

You're my boy, Blue. I just want you to let you know. By the way, Vince Vaughn, you know how you're saying he's one of your favorite actors? You know where he is on my list? Numero uno. That's my guy. I love Vince Vaughn. I had the chance to interview him. I was like, Hey, I work with PBD. He's like, okay. Yeah. He knew exactly where the hell's Vince Vaughn these days.

He's chilling. He's chilling. He doesn't need to work anymore. He's good. What do you mean he doesn't need to work more? We need him working. No, I know. It's not about needing. What were your thoughts on that? But let me just say something about Vince Vaughn. He got shamed, I think, for shaking Trump's hand in 2020. That's what? And he was allegedly run out of Hollywood. I don't even think he's a hardcore conservative. I think he was just like a libertarian, right? Didn't you say that he's sort of a libertarian, PBD?

But newsflash, 50% of the country identifies with the Republican Party or the MAGA movement or as conservative. So to shame somebody for who they voted for is very un-American. This is that video right here of him simply talking to the President of the United States and that very attractive woman who may or may not be Melania right there. But the fact that he was shamed and allegedly run out of Hollywood for shaking Trump's hand is so un-American and it's despicable Well your thoughts on the undone then a flex saying it and the whole Look at the end of the day numbers makes you honest. Yeah numbers will make you honest

It will because now he's a director so a director you're no longer just an actor So director now has a different pain. You need to find talent. As an actor, they just pay you to go do the work. You're like, I don't give a shit, it's your problem. It's not my problem. Once you become a director, it's all your problem. So he has graduated from being a, you know,

just a salesperson to a sales leader to the CEO, the business, that's the director. Now you need to, you need help. And, you know, he's going through going through right now but let me read the story here in California Gavin Newsom catching heat again as LA's 2028 Olympics in peril Rob do you have this clip so I actually pulled the clip this is from January I don't remember I don't know if you guys remember this but this was Governor Newsom talking about why they needed to rebuild California during

the wildfires and how it ties back to the Olympics Is this Vinnie or is this Gavin? This one was Gavin. Okay, good Several years Los Angeles will be hosted to the World Cup and then the Super Bowl and then the Olympics with this rebuilding effort Needing to take place. Is LA gonna be ready for all of those global events? My humble position and it's it's and it's it's not just being naively optimistic, that only reinforces the imperative of moving quickly, doing in the spirit of collaboration and cooperation. President Trump, to his credit, was helpful in getting the Olympics to the United States of America to get it down here in LA.

We thank him for that. This is an opportunity for him to shine, for this country to shine, for California and this community to shine. The opportunity with all of that and all that opportunity and that pride and spirit that comes from not just hosting those three iconic games and venues, but also the opportunity I think to rebuild.

That's why we're already organizing a Marshall Plan. We already have someone looking at reimagining LA 2.0 and we're making sure everyone's included, not just the folks. He's saving money. He no longer needs the sign language. The Olympics 2028 financial meltdown could cost, with costs rising by $267 million and major sponsors like Salesforce, Toyota, Panasonic withdrawing, leaving only Delta Airlines and Comcast.

As Eric Sheehan of Olympics LA stated, it's an unacceptable gamble of public money and everything that we were told about these Olympics from the start has turned out not to be true. Gavin Newsom rebrand of the recovery games drew criticism with the People's City Council claiming it will be used as an excuse to funnel money to the Olympics, policing and surveillance while conservative Trish Reagan posted. Gavin Newsom claims the coming Olympics is why LA must be rebuilt. Is he high? Transportation delays threaten chaos with LA's metros. 28 plan projects reduced to 10 and complete by 20, 20 time your thoughts. Well, this goes back to 2017 Vinnie, the Olympics

is about competition. Yes. How many bitters was LA competing against in the final round to get the Olympics for 2028 summer Olympics to zero because the others had backed out. The others that render, I think it was Budapest, Hamburg and Rome. They backed out and Paris already had 24 locked up against the competition. One of which was LA and then nobody wanted it. You know why? Because if you go take a look at the, when the Olympics were in Greece, and you go back and take a look at what all those things look like, they spent billions of dollars, they built all these facilities, the facilities are now rotting. These little states, oh, we're going to bring

all this stuff here. London, London, before and after the Olympics, you ready for this? Tourism dropped the year and the hotels complained about it before and after. You know why? Because the hotels had all these refurbishments and upgrades getting ready for the Olympics and all the people that would be there for the Olympics and then they raised their room rates to help cover some of the improvements they made to their hotels and then people didn't come to London. So London tourism by the numbers, was down before and after the Olympics. Having the Olympics usually costs a ton of money,

and you don't get the benefit to the local businesses or local infrastructure. And the last point that Pat made in there, when LA won the bid in the Please Take It, we'll give you about a billion dollars, which is what the IOC said. Please take it. Just say yes. We'll give you about a billion dollars. And guess what? They committed to all these transportation projects and let that 28 10 out of 28 are probably going to be finished. The other transportation, wait, you have terrible

traffic. Don't worry. We have 28 projects that we're going to do here. Well, right now, the original budget was 5.3 billion. The loss of sponsorship and what they think that the media is going to be, they believe they're sitting right now at about $4 billion with tickets and everything. And ready for this? Here it comes. Here it comes. The current budget estimated for everything They need is six point nine billion. So they're estimating right now that it's probably

two and a half billion dollar gap they have right now and lastly the Dems Including Karen Bass who have now pulled their comments back To sit with Gavin Newsom. They were concerned about police militarization You know what that means? The homeless and everything else they have to clean up the city because the entire world will be there with their cell phones Taking pictures of LA and they want it to look good Do you remember what the mayor of San Francisco did when he had the International Council of Mayors?

Willie Brown shipped out all the homeless to Sacramento. And they were hitchhiking coming back in. But he cleaned up the city by artificially shipping people out, and they got a lot of heat for it. So there's people saying, we're worried about police militarization. Wait, why? Because they know it's a hellhole,

and they know the cops have to crack down on homelessness. They've to ship homeless and they got to crack down on things so it'll look good and be nice for the 14 days of the 38th Summer Olympiad or whatever it is. And you now have organizations in LA as reported by the Daily News that are saying, you're talking about tearing down homes for some of these facilities. It's called eminent domain. This is a, I'll say it, this is a shit show. And it was, now remember, Eric Garcetti led the charge and Trump supported and said, hey,

would be nice to have it in LA. Trump's just given support with his voice. He's not the guy, Eric Garcetti said, we have a plan, we're gonna do all this. And now the guy standing there now. Well, we're rebuilding LA anyway because of all these fires we'll just finish the rebuild and we'll call it the the the the Rebuilding year the summer of rebuild and so Newsome deserves all the heat he's getting because all their cities Refuse the Olympics because what you end up afterwards

is none of the benefits you thought you'd get. Is there any way to say, you know what, we're two years out, Tom? Two and a half years out? We're almost three, how much, three billion dollars short? How about, we're sorry. We don't have, California has no business having games right now. That's my attitude. Can they just say, listen, we're sorry we won the bid,

but we can't afford anything right now? I wanna know what's gonna happen. And I think, you know what? I think what's, by the way, there are Democrats upset at Newsom because they are going to Washington trying to get grants from our tax money for the Olympic shortfall the same week that Gavin Newsom says, I'm suing the president. It was the same week they were in Washington talking about getting money.

I'm actually excited for the Olympics. When was the last time the United States hosted the Olympics? I think it was in 1996, Atlanta, Georgia, I want to say. Was it Salt Lake City Winter Olympics? Yeah, who cares about the Winter Olympics, Tom? We're talking about men's sports here, bro, not fucking figure skating. Sorry about that.

But I'm excited for the Olympics. I mean, I'm sure that there's going to be perpetual mishaps and drama and screw ups in California. Are you going to get to something. That's what they do. So there's no story. Do you have an opinion? Yeah I'm excited for the Olympics to be in America because I'm a proud American and I like patriotism.

I'm waiting for a point. You didn't even let me get to anything. It took you 17 seconds to say you're excited four times. I'm going to call out anybody that doesn't make that point in three seconds moving forward. Yeah, okay, so let's go to the next one. What's your point Vinnie? Let's go. Sorry. Yeah, he'll make it. He'll make it. Hang tight.

20 minutes later. All right. Rob, can you do me a favor? And Nancy May's story is... Do you have the Conor McGregor clip? Yes. Do you have the Conor McGregor clip? You have the Conor McGregor clip. Conor McGregor blasts mass migration as a genocide in Ireland, okay?

So let's see what this is all about. Rob, this is the clip? Yes. Go ahead and play the clip. Off Ireland, never in a million years. But if they're paying foreigners to have kids, well you can't afford to have kids. If they're shaking you down with the armed police

but allowing foreigners a pass, if they're paying to fix foreigners' cars but not yours, they hate you and they're trying to kill you, right? It's an attempt at erasure of our people. That is it. I could have went all that way in the White House. I had to climb, you go incrementally up, right? You go in, hey, you talk about a genocide,

this is a genocide of our people. Obviously. Yeah, and then Rob, can you do me a favor? While he's talking about this, there is a clip that's in my notes, if you go to it. It's a clip about what's happened. Vinny, I'll come to you first. Who had opinions on this one?

Was it you? Let me see who it was. It was Conor McGregor. Adam, you had some thoughts on this. And I had a clip I wanna play for you guys that you gotta see. Go for it, Adam. Well, there's another clip that I would actually wanna show

where he talks about, I don't care about, he's like, I'm not center left. He's like, I'm not left wing, right wing. He's like, I don't even know what that means. He goes, I'm centered, I'm on the ground. I'm two toes down on the ground. I stand for what I believe It's such a great clip because it basically shows listen I don't give a shit what you call me left ring right wing whatever you want to call me I stand for what I believe and I stand two feet down and I'll double down on what I believe

He's like, I'm a family man. I'm family first, I'm Ireland first. Is this the clip? Yeah. Go ahead. Go for it, man. CNN has described you as the leader, and I'm quoting, of Ireland's far right. Who has? CNN, which is a news channel in the United States. Far left, far right. All of these terminologies mean nothing to me. I'm a family man. I'm an employer of the country You know, I'm a supporter of many people and I care about my land and the safety of its citizens and the prosperity of its citizens I want preference. I want peace preference and prosperity for the citizens of Ireland for my people And isn't that isn't that fair for our country men and women? It is our country. Ireland is for Ireland. That's right.

You know? And that is it. I'm not right left. I feel I'm centered, grounded. That is what I feel. In fact, I ground myself every day. I walk out and I ground myself every day, barefoot in the grass. Barefoot is king king I fought in the octagons in the cages all around the countries of Ireland and then into the United States of America barefoot so I am a grounded man either left right doubt Conor McGregor all you want but if Trump did anything he basically burst the bubble that you need to just be a perfectly polished and politician and say exactly what everyone always says. F that.

This guy's a fighter. He's a winner. He's a brilliant speaker. You know, Trump, after he got shot in the ear, came up and said, fight, fight, fight. This guy's a freaking fighter and he's fighting for his country of Ireland. Okay, watch this clip, guys. Watch this clip. This is what Ireland is worried about. Yeah. Okay, go ahead and play this clip, Rob Watch this clip. This is what Ireland is worried about. Go ahead and play

this clip Rob. The mayor of London is Muslim. The mayor of Birmingham is a Muslim. The mayor of Leeds is Muslim. The mayor of Blackburn is Muslim. The mayor of Sheffield is Muslim. The mayor of Oxford is a Muslim. The mayor of Luton is a Muslim. The mayor of Oldham is a Muslim. The mayor of Roshdell is a Muslim. All of this was achieved by only 4 million Muslims out of the 66 million people in England. Today in England there are over 3,000 mosques. There are over 130 Sharia courts in England, and there are more than 50 Sharia councils. 78% of Muslim women do not work and receive state support and free accommodation.

63% of Muslims do not work and receive state support and free housing. State-supported Muslim families have an average of six to eight children who all receive free accommodation. Every school in the UK is required to teach about Islam. The number one most common baby name in England is Muhammad. This is not immigration, this is invasion. The mayor of London is Muslim. I mean, I was just looking at the numbers. The island saw 149,200 migrants and 69,000 immigrants, resulting in a net migration of 79.3. The foreign-born population is 1.2 million by the end of the year. Crime is up almost 4%. Sexual offenses rose to 8% compared to the previous year.

And yeah, I mean they're getting flooded with these migrants under the lie of compassion. Sounds familiar. We have the same situation here. But it's not compassion, it's control. And they're stuffing the hotels with people. The crime crime is up Like I said, the numbers are up my thing and the women don't feel safe. What what is like? My question is the current sitting government. What is the purpose of letting happen? We know we know why it was happening happening here for the votes and all that stuff and they didn't give it They want to change the voting block and the dynamic. I'm just curious. So what's Ireland's excuse? What are they? What are they? What is the point? Who's the point? Who's in charge right now in Ireland? Who's the person that's leading it?

What are you saying? Like why are they, if they're seeing what's going on with UK, why are you doing the same thing? Exactly, why and who's behind it? Who's giving it the okay to just have all these people? Because it is, listen, it's not immigrant, it's an invasion. It's probably what Connor is talking about.

And by the way, it's purely matching values. Here's Rob, this is a, Islamic shoe defend, can you play this clip? What's this? Oh, okay, yeah. Go for it. Consent to your six-year-old daughter marrying a 54-year-old man.

My six-year-old daughter. Your six-year-old daughter. The fact that you have an incident that said those really concerned you. Would you consent? It is really concerning. The fact that you have to think this no is really concerning. Would you consense? It is really concerning. The fact that you have to think this over is terrifying. It is terrifying.

It is terrifying that you might even... You asked me that question. Okay, let him. Would you allow your six year old daughter to marry a 54 year old man? No. Would you? Hell no. I would slay any man who has tested that. Alright, thank you.

Now, would you allow your six year old daughter... See how quick that was? Would you allow your six year old daughter to marry a 54 year old man? If it was the Prophet Muhammad, do you advocate for a changing the law that would allow 6 year olds to consent to marriage? In this country? Yes. Do I advocate for it? Yes. Don't answer it, don't answer it. Don't answer it. Why is he embarrassed to answer that question?

21st century, everyone is mine. He says he's religion. Let me ask you this question. Do you think Saudi Arabia should allow 6 year olds to get married? Do you want to let us converse? No, no, no. Say no. Some point we'll come across. Guys, this is not a hard question. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, That should shock you. He has stood here and said that six year old children should be allowed to marry. That is a problem. And it is a problem that emerges out of the example of Mohammed.

And that is exactly why as a Christian I reject the example of Mohammed and am now a follower of Jesus Christ. And by the way, if 98% of your country has bought into that mindset, it works. Meaning if you're a Muslim country, Muslim nation, and that's what it is. But if you try to bring that mindset into another country and try to convert and change their culture and bring that to them, that's a problem. You know, there's a guy that's being interviewed and he says, so what about if we send a bunch of Christians to your Muslim country to start converting you guys

to Christianity? He says, you can't do that, that's not allowed. Says, our country would never allow that. We would never allow, you guys allowed that, we would never allow that. Burmese? Yeah, of course. This is the part where I think more and more people are starting to realize through common sense

Some of this stuff just doesn't make sense Some of this stuff is a little bit crazy Connor's getting a little bit dumb with it himself and he's trying to do it in his country Tom Do you have any thoughts on this? No, I think you echoed it, you know, it's a one-way street. You can't come here and offer to teach us we want to go there and Look at what they've organized they get elected into government and now they're favoring themselves of free accommodation and supporting this and Look and look at the generation. They're creating the average with six kids. There you go. You know what count count 18 years

Count 18 years from right now and it's it's over Dave there is a if you if you look at tourism books and things like that, they call it Londonistan Because there's so many you know The population of Muslims there is so great and that it. And it's a generation of children and generational change just natural. These people are gonna grow old and die and then these people have had one kid, these people have had six. So what does that population look like 18 years from now? It's over. Well it's the Islamization of Europe. And I'm not talking about secularist Islam.

I think there's awesome people out there. I have many friends that are Muslim. I'm talking about the Islamists and the jihadists. And what they want to do is they want to infiltrate and then they want to occupy countries. Why is it that only white Christian countries are the countries that get called out if you're not being more inclusive So if you go to China, it's all Chinese people It's all Chinese politicians same thing in Russia same thing in Japan same thing in Saudi same thing in Iran same thing in Brazil but except for

White Christian countries in Europe also including Canada and possibly the United States, whether it's Ireland, whether it's Scotland, whether it's Sweden, whether it's Denmark, whether it's the UK, I can't tell you how many times I hear people saying that UK is falling, London is falling. You're seeing that example right there about how many Islam Muslim politicians are in the UK. Go ahead and reverse it. and then how many Christian, there's zero Jewish politicians anywhere in the Middle East, but how many Christian politicians are in any of the Middle Eastern Muslim countries. I would argue that maybe, maybe Lebanon, which used to have a decent Christian population, and I want to say that like their president has to be Christian, but other than that,

you know, maybe Egypt a little bit, but if you go down the list, the Christian and Egypt, but if you go down the list between Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, the list goes on and on and on and on. You're not going to find anybody that a Muslim that is in charge of the government there. So even if you go to Israel, people don't know this about Israel, 20% of Israel, 20% of Israel are Palestinian citizens. They can be in the government, they can have jobs, they're in the army, they are full on citizens. I challenge you to find one Jew, not one percent, who's in Palestine, who's in Afghanistan, who's in Syria, not one. They've all been kicked out.

And you know what? They're coming for the Christians next. So the Middle East used to be an area where Jews, Christians, Muslims, everyone was there. Not anymore. All right. So next story I want to go to before we wrap up. Rob, can you pull up that Gary Player video? Tom, I don't know if you've seen this or not.

So to the people that don't know, Gary Player, how would you describe who Gary Player is, Tom? Is it fair to say he's one of the best golfers of all time? Absolutely. He's one of only four guys that's won the Grand Slam of the four majors. Okay. So here's Gary Player. This is specifically going to those of you guys

that you have a trade you wanna improve or you're a business owner, you're trying to find a way to get better in the marketplace. Look what Gary Player says here about Tiger Woods. Go for it, Rob. Look at Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods had his career ruined, completely ruined. Tiger Woods won 14 majors.

And then he wins the 14th major was the US Open at Piddle Beach. He won by 15 shots. You know what that's like? It's like running the 100 meters in seven seconds. The next week he's having a lesson from a man who I don't know if he played in the Masters could break 80. Couldn't. But he's having a lesson from this guy. And then he goes to another guy who couldn't break probably 85 in the

Masters with the pressure or the British Open or the PGA on the final day and he's having lessons from them. Why did Tiger do that? He was so good but I understand he wanted to get better. But if he just went along and never changed, he would have won minimum 22, maybe more. He would have gone down as the greatest athlete the world had ever seen, man or woman, in the planet. But he made the wrong decision, and it's very easy to do because we all will try to get better. Tom, how do you process this?

Well, I have a lot of respect for the Black Knight. That was Gary Player's nickname. And he's clearly white, Tom. No, no, no. But you see the logo on his shirt? No. That's his brand. Oh, my bad.

Black Knight. Black Knight. No, I don't see color. They call them the Black Knight. Got it. That was his. I thought I saw it. He wore black on the golf course.

That's what they called him. OK? And I think he's right, because if you look when tiger came up and He had a couple major injuries one he started training because he and trained with the Navy SEALs and he went to an intensive Navy SEAL training and unfortunately, he suffered a and unfortunately he suffered a big time knee injury and concealed it and so Tiger got distracted and wanted to go train with the Seals A and B he did move

from his coaches and there were chapters of his life where the coach he had, he was at kind of a plateau. And he had a falling out with the first coach. This coach had a big ego and was sort of trading on Tiger. And Tiger didn't like that. I don't blame him. You know, it's just like, you have a... People understand. I don't need to make metaphors, right? People know who the success is and then other people are like trading on that success kind of chasing you around like Bermorah's the way they chase sharks and I believe tiger would have had far more majors if he had stayed he had such insane talent and

If he had stuck with that thread and not been distracted and got hurt He got really hurt at a Navy SEAL training and if he had not done that I think things would have been fine because People have talked about the car accident. What I'm what I'm asking about is I'm not asking about the Navy SEAL stuff specific to what Gary is saying here taking advice from somebody that shot an 80 or an 85, okay, and having that person give you counsel on what to do, how do you process that?

He wants to know what your point is, Tom. I process it very simply. I think he should have stuck with the coaches that were proven, and sometimes it's like the latest coach and you think okay I'm gonna work with this I'm gonna work with that and I agree Gary Player I don't think some of those later coaches were I mean I look now you can look at some of those later coaches now and see who they're coaching and I think it speaks for itself now it's like oh okay I get it and

I I think moving to these other coaches, I don't think it helped him. I agree with Gary on that. I also agreed with Phil Mickelson because Nike was used, was the sponsor. Nike got into golf equipment and had Tiger using their equipment. Tiger was winning and using equipment that was inferior to what the other top five players in the world were using at the time. The Nike equipment was inferior and he was winning. Yeah, this guy was a special guy, but I, Adam, go ahead. You want to say something? Yeah, I don't listen. Are, are the best professional coaches, the best players? I would argue no.

You know, Phil Jackson, the greatest NBA coach ever wasn't one of the best players ever either was Pat Riley, Eric Spolstra, Greg Popovich. So if you want to use the NBA, none of those guys were the greatest coaches. If you want to go into the NFL, Bill Belichick, greatest coach of all time, not a great player. The list goes on and on and on. So in order to coach someone great, you don't need to be great at your sport. You need to be a great coach. You don't necessarily need to be a great player. So I get that Gary, Gary player is one of the greatest golfers alive, by the way, sick

name Gary player. Go ahead, play on player. But I don't necessarily know if I agree with what he's saying. What you need is someone that will tell you the truth, someone that will hold you accountable, someone that will make you do maybe not what you want to do. You need a leader. You don't necessarily need somebody who did what you did because nobody was able to do what Tiger Woods did. Nobody. Unless he's getting Arnold Palmer, the famous drink, or he's getting Jack Nicklaus to coach him, nobody's going to be on Tiger's

level. Nobody's on Michael Jordan's level. Nobody's on Tom Brady's level. So I understand where you're getting your counsel from is important. But when you're one of the goats, nobody's gonna be on your level. But that's my only difference I would say is the following. Yep. Coaches also have track records. Who have you built? So who have you built? If you've built somebody, great. For example, in tennis, who was that guy that ended up building IMG? What's his name? Nick Boletary. Nick Boletary built the Institute. What reputation does he have for building tennis players?

Oh, yeah. Top-notch. Right? You can go through a list of names to see what they've produced. Who was our buddy that was on the podcast? Who is that? Our buddy that coached the podcast? Who was that? Our buddy that coached the Williams sisters. Oh, Mark. Rick Macy.

Rick Macy. Right, he was in a movie. You may not see what I see, but Rick Macy. So the point becoming that you have credibility with the coach that's giving you feedback versus taking it from somebody else. That was a very interesting observation from Gary Player because whether you like golf or not,

there was a moment where Tiger, what he was doing made no sense. Whenever a player makes you watch a sport that you've never watched before, you're a transcendent player. You're a revolutionary player. And Tiger was exactly that. Tiger got Middle Easterners to watch golf.

We don't watch golf. We run away from bunkers. We have watch golf. We run away from bunkers. We have flashbacks. We get scared of bunkers. I mean, we don't do that kind of stuff. You guys end up in the sand trap, though, for some reason. You guys feel very comfortable.

Yeah, we're not gonna do it. It's just like, we're not gonna do something like that. But the point here is, you know, I like the way he put it down and what he said and where he's at now. The reality of it is, you're one good advice away from your life changing, dude, you're one bad advice from completely having a massive setback

and you have to always be aware of that. No matter what phase of your life you're in, you're a kid, you're an adult, you're a family man, you're married, you're single, you're a businessman, always make sure there's credibility of the person that you're taking counsel from.
