Starting point is 00:00:00 30 seconds. Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm so close, I can take sweetest theory. I know this life meant for me. Yeah, why would you plan on galiah when we got bett David? Value payment, giving values, contagious disorder, entrepreneur as we can no value the haters. Howdy run homie, look what I've become.
Starting point is 00:00:20 I'm the entrepreneur. So, you know, one of the things Androtate's been gone now for a few months for a couple months. And one of the things he would be very proud of, there's somebody else that's trying to replace them. Don Lemon. Don Lemon's been now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Working very hard to beat a new Androtate. Very interesting. And it's important to see this. You know, when you watch this clip, I'll what he said the other day. By the way, when he said this, I retweeted this yesterday and I said, it's obvious.
Starting point is 00:00:51 I'm telling you right now, I'm convinced Don Lemon is obsessed and in love with Andrew Tate and watches non-stop videos and clips of the only reason you would say some like this is because you watch certain clips of us go ahead and play this clip real quick see what he's any gone trouble for it. Well talk about it makes me uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I think that I think it's a wrong road to go down. What she says people you know politicians are something I'm not in their prime Nikki Haley is in a prime sorry when a woman is considered being a 20s and 30s and maybe 40s. What do you talk? Wait. That's not a quote. That's not according to me. Prime for what? It depends.
Starting point is 00:01:28 It's just like prime. If you look it up, it'll say, if you Google, it's a woman, it'll say 20s, 30s, and 40s. I don't necessarily. So I got it in that way. That's what I agree with that. So I think she has to be careful about saying that politicians aren't in their prime.
Starting point is 00:01:42 I think they need to qualify her. You take out prime for like child. And for in or talking help prime for like child and or talk about the best of the president what the facts are google it everybody Google it
Starting point is 00:01:51 prime here we go just saying Nikki hey we should be careful about saying that politicians are not in their prime and would they need to be in their prime by the surface is that by the way if that was whoopie goldberg on his left at this five seconds ago in this clip He would have been shot on camera
Starting point is 00:02:08 But hey, did you notice that for first two things first he goes I don't want to go down that road. You know, he did he went down that road You see like this is his sassiness. He's like he that was him. That's how he actually feels. As a same token, he's a hardcore leftist. That's the only job that left people know. But he shouldn't be running. Here's a question though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Is he truly a hardcore leftist or has he been spending too much time with hardcore leftists? Words have power in phones has power. Tom and I, Tom shared a clip the other day with me. I'm going to show you guys here in a second. What is your reaction, when you hear, he says what he says that Nikki Haley is past her prime while Hillary Clinton's and her 70s thinking about running while Kamala Harris is older than Nikki Haley. What do you think about when you hear that comment he makes? I think he he just that's for trying to make a point That why she's not
Starting point is 00:03:03 qualifying for the job, right? But I mean, it's interesting to see him getting pushback on CNN. I don't think they ever push back anybody, who's democry, right? So maybe CNN is trying new thing, I don't know. Well, apparently he suspended, he gave an apology to CNN and his colleagues from Miami
Starting point is 00:03:27 However, never apologize to Nikki Haley. He's in Miami right now if people with his husband. Yeah, and go ahead So yeah, well, I think he's gay 100% He's gay. Oh, yeah, not Adam That's not my boyfriend. Yeah, no, no, no anymore So here's what's happened. You ever see one of those scary movies and they're like, where's it coming from? And it's like the call's coming from inside the house.
Starting point is 00:03:55 That's exactly what's happening here. On their morning show, two women in their 40s, nonetheless. And he's like, oh, you old broads, and you're like, wow, which has happened here. The call just came from inside the studio.. And he's like, oh, you old broads, or anything like that. Yeah, like wow. Which has happened here. The call just came from inside the studio. So what he's conflating, and this is just, clearly he just Googled prime, he's conflating two things,
Starting point is 00:04:15 a woman's sexual market value with her actual market value. And there's two completely separate things. He is correct that a woman's sexual market value is let's just say 40 and below. What does that mean? Sexual market value is when most men are attracted to women. It's usually in their mid-20s, give or take. That's a sexual market value, okay?
Starting point is 00:04:40 Whereas a man reaches his sexual market value typically in his late 30s. Typically, so women, their beauty objects, where men are success objects, that's what it comes down to the sexual market value. What he's conflating again is sexual market value with a market value. You could be a hell of a governor or a business woman or an entrepreneur or anything well into your 40s, 50s, 60s. And when whether you like Hillary Clinton or not, she was a capable politician. Let's just put it at that. So Nikki Haley, who's in her 50s market value is arguably at its highest it's ever been.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Whereas her sexual market value might not be that high right now. So I think Don Lemon is just trying to make a point and his foot is so far in his freaking mouth Whereas her sexual market value might not be that high right now. So I think Don Lemon is just trying to make a point. And his foot is so far and is freaking mouth right now that is just like vacation Miami by a mouth. Here's one I want you to watch. I want you to watch this. This is the old Don Lemon when he first got into media and not first.
Starting point is 00:05:40 This is not that old just so you guys know this is like five, ten years ago. But listen to how Don Lemon spoke just ten years ago. You said, hey old just so you guys know this is like five ten years ago, but listen to how Don Lemon spoke just ten years ago. You said, you old, I think this is the real. Yeah. Okay. Just black people, if you really want to fix the problem, here's just five things that you should think about doing. Here's number five. And if this doesn't apply to you, if you're not doing this, then it doesn't apply to you. I'm not talking about you. Here's
Starting point is 00:06:02 number five, pull up your pants. Walking around with your ass and your underwear showing is not okay. In fact, it comes from prison when they take away belts from the prisoner so that they can't make a weapon. And then it evolved into which role a prisoner would have during mail-on-mail prison sex. The one with the really low pants is a submissive one. You get my point?
Starting point is 00:06:25 Number four now is the inward. By promoting the use of that word when it's not germane to the conversation, have you ever considered that you may just be perpetuating the stereotype the masser intended acting like a nigger? Now number three, respect where you live. Start small by not dropping trash,
Starting point is 00:06:46 littering in your own communities. I've lived in several predominantly white neighborhoods in my life. I rarely, if ever witnessed people littering. I live in Harlem now. It's an historically black neighborhood. Every single day I see adults and children dropping their trash on the ground when a garbage can is just feet away. Just being honest here. Number two, finish school.
Starting point is 00:07:08 You want to break the cycle of poverty? Stop telling kids are acting white because they go to school or they speak proper English. A high school dropout makes on average $19,000 a year. A high school graduate makes $28,000 a year. A college graduate makes $51,000 a year. A college graduate makes $51,000 a year. Over the course of a career, a college grad will make nearly a million dollars more than a high school graduate. That's a lot of money. And number one, and probably the most important, just because you can have a baby, it doesn't mean you should, especially without planning for one or getting married first.
Starting point is 00:07:44 More than 72% of children in the African American community are born. Imagine this is the limit. Yeah, I'm shocked. I mean, absent fathers. No, keep playing. And the study show that lack of a male role model is an express train right to prison. And the cycle continues. That's black.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Can I ask you a question, Pat? What changes? My question. I think this is not, I agree with that. What happened look at her face. Yeah, can you just show her face? Are you shocked or what? Who that actually does sound like is a very reminiscent of Thomas soul Like that's a type of message you would hear from a black conservative like a Thomas Soul type. And it just, you never hear him talk like that anymore. Patrick, David.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Yeah, but here's my question. You guys know, the other great black something what makes you change what makes someone like that without you good boy. Yes, I see the logo that it's CNN, which I don't even give a damn at that point. How does he change or what changes in the network that he has to turn into this person? You know what I, I don't know what your policy is with that.
Starting point is 00:08:55 The answer is what you own me said. Donald Trump. It was Trump. I always know, but here's the Obama Trump thing. Fuck people's heads. I agree. I agree. But you think, but I mean, dude, you still have a thing. Yeah, I got people's heads. I agree. I agree. But you think, but I mean, dude, you still have a producer.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Like think about that. CNN let him say something like this. There is no way in hell. CNN is letting Don Lamon say this type of shit. What year was that? I have no idea. Okay. Who was president in 2013?
Starting point is 00:09:20 Obama. Obama. Under the Obama administration, it was okay to be cool. No, it was just, it was, it was, it was okay to call out the nonsense. By the way, it was, and then with Obama's 2013 after he's reelected. Correct. So in the middle of Obama, you as a pendant, opinion, not a journalist, a, a, a, a a pendant, are giving your opinion on what black people should do to clean up their life. Much like we talked about how Asians and Jews and Indians what they do in the family culture. Okay, but once Trump hit the scene, it no longer became a,
Starting point is 00:09:52 hey, this is what you need to do to help your life. This is no way you do it for success. Pick up your pants, go to school. None of that. It was just fuck Trump. Yeah, yeah. And that's where this whole narrative basically veered off course. That was a great point. That was so fun. By the way, so you just you just have to think about this You become who you hang around with words have power If you're around people that are influencing you to think like a victim you will if you're around people that will tell you Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You're either eventually gonna hate them and go find people who feel sorry for themselves or You're going to be like you know, what's that feeling sorry for yourself? My life is a lot harder other places, right?
Starting point is 00:10:35 So this message here tells you the difference between thinking for yourself And then all of a sudden getting into the mainstream media and those guys trying to control you and tell you what you have to think and to call. So, hey, you guys better say this. Hey, you guys better say that. Hey, you guys better say this. And then boom, it turns into, down, lemon, having a pilot. What are the likely it is going to get fired? He's not suspension right now.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I don't think he's in the effort. There's no way. Just this week came on the air here this morning, it was announced that he will be reinstated later this week after he undergoes a special training. And they didn't say what that was. It's just special training. And so, yeah, it's called hustlers university. Yeah, there is the enrolls.
Starting point is 00:11:12 He is the first to be up sleep. Yes, he get in there and make sure that he has to understand sexual dynamics is going to get enrolled. I hear you. I hear you down the mountain. To undergo formal training. Yeah. But by the way, we talked to the initial conversation we had the, on the episode was, is
Starting point is 00:11:28 cancel culture over? Not for you. Is this a form of cancel culture? It is. He can't even stay, like should he have been suspended for this? I don't think so. Listen, I believe that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Yeah, but dude, just wrong. It's all right. I mean, if you, if this was Fox, he would have been fired. There's no take a time. No, one minute. He would have had a parade. No, no. If he offended women like that on a conservative, he's gone.
Starting point is 00:11:55 The left? 100% with a gonzo. I think that's the jacked opposite. But my point is, I think if they were to set this on Fox, the women would have been like, yeah, for show. They would have no. I don't think so. What I'm saying is the cancel culture said this on Fox the women would have been like yeah for show like they would have no I don't think what I'm saying is the can't you think you think Fox would have been more sympathetic to what he had to say they would have not like what he said you're hitting the reaction of what a lot of the women first of all you have what did Fox deal with just a few years ago would
Starting point is 00:12:20 make in Kelly yeah what right you're ill but Bill or Riley so no no what I'm saying I'm at my point my point being it's not to go you off that, is the left is way more, like, you could, they, they look out for each other, bro. The left takes care of their own. I'm not going to say that either, because CNN also fired the, Chris Cuomo, they fired, who's the other person they fired. They, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, Ryan Seltzer, what it was, uh, I don't know what you have, Jeffrey Tupin. Oh, Jeffrey Tupin.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yeah. All I'm saying is, all I'm saying is today, and it's a, it's a time where, you know, what they opened it up to though. Guess what they opened it up to. If you say something like that on a podcast, what happens to you? You keep continuing. If you say something like that, they're just opening it up for people.
Starting point is 00:13:01 By the way, if you made a full out of them, self, you can make a full out of yourself on a podcast. You can make a full out of your stuff a podcast. You can make a full out of yourself on a YouTube show that you're on. Many have, many will, many will continue. It's part of what happens. You're gonna get caught. Nobody's undefeated in the boxing ring, except for who?
Starting point is 00:13:19 Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather and Marciano, I think, was also undefeated. I don't know if he lost or not. Not that he was. so for the most part, he's going to get caught. I'll leave last six times. You're not going to get into a debate and be undefeated
Starting point is 00:13:30 in debate. Sometimes you're going to get caught. And this time, he got caught. But as crazy as it sounds, if CNN wants to kind of go in the direction of recreating themselves, they have to show how they handle situations like this to allow a person to screw up and then come back versus, hey, we're still walking on eggshells here. So I'm not telling you, they should fire more, not fire them.
Starting point is 00:13:56 CNN is right now dealing with identity crisis. People go through this. Men go through it when they say we're in mid-life crisis, you know, they go by motorcycle and get a tattoo on their neck. This typically happens at 45 years old, right? No, I'm telling you, you think I'm kidding with you? They get a tattoo, don't worry, girls go through mid-life crisis, they do stuff and then they get a tattoo under butt,
Starting point is 00:14:14 like under lower back. Cramps down. Which is different story, everybody goes through a different kind of mid-life crisis. Some people start doing steroids to be buffer, bigger, stronger, we all have in securities that we're trying to stay young forever. This is not an abnormal thing.
Starting point is 00:14:27 We're all normal going through these things. Here, these guys are in an organization right now that's trying to recreate themselves. And quite frankly, Don's in the middle right now saying, ah, shit, what do I do to make these guys happy? You know, he's probably there in Miami saying, listen babe, if they fire me, he's talking to his boyfriend, if they fire me, we gotta figure out what to do,
Starting point is 00:14:48 we got some money here, but maybe I'll go start a podcast. FYI, transitioning from TV to podcasts isn't as easy as they think it is. We learn that with Chris Guam. When you're on TV, they give you a script. When you got a podcast, man, you better try to keep attention for a couple hours. It ain't that easy to do so, right?
Starting point is 00:15:06 Ask me a different ball game. Well, he went off script here. And they should have read that script. Well, can I just say one thing? As someone who's never messed up on a podcast, I've never been called naive. I've never been called an idiot. I've never been called a soy boy.
Starting point is 00:15:17 It definitely never had any pushback whatsoever. There's zero negative comments out there about me. Zero amazing that I've never had an issue. But never happened once. Never happened. Thanks Tom. That's not about me, zero. Amazing. That I've never had an issue, but never happened once. Never happened. Thanks Tom. It's actually 100. I think it would be a very horrible disservice
Starting point is 00:15:30 to cancel down lemon for this situation. You screwed up, like by definition, you conflated what sexual market value is with market value. See, and has an opportunity here to basically say, hey, we are not the arbiters of cancel culture. You know, take a day off. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:15:49 We'll see you back. Give a me a call, but when you get back on TV and learn from it. And that's, I think, what the definition of cancel culture should not be is like everyone screws up. People are right. People are wrong. Ever. There's different opinions.
Starting point is 00:16:03 There's all that. That's the whole premise of America is they be able to have that debate. And when you screw up, like, oh my bad, I'll do better. And that's what I think he needs to do. Final thoughts on me on this before we move forward. Is there a message you have for our friend, Dan Lamon? Yeah, I think that's what I was writing in my book. It was like, we have right to be wrong.
Starting point is 00:16:21 In the way, we should have a culture of mercy. In North Korea, you make a one mistake, you get executed. In America, currently, you lose your job, livelihood, reputation and dignity. But eventually, if you're pushing this direction, you can't end up like North Korea. So now, we're in somewhere in the middle. We can push backwards where we have a culture of mercy and let people make a mistake and correct it. So, yeah, I don't think he should ever get fired for this. That's so stupid.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I mean, no matter what he has a talent, right, he's a good presenter, so he said sorry, so he should come back. He's very, yeah, man, like, I wonder when's the last time he watched himself from 10 years ago Which you know like I was watching a clip this morning. I send it to Mario I can't play because of music a place in there. It's an incredible speech That Robert Downey Jr. Gives he's up there accepting a award and he says I brought Mel Gibson here To with me while I'm accepting this award. He says, there's a reason I brought Mel Gibson here.
Starting point is 00:17:28 When I was going through my mess, Mel called me and we were speaking and he says, listen man, whatever you do, go find your faith. But it's gotta be your faith. I don't care what it is, but go find your faith. He says, I respected the fact that he told me to go find my faith and I did. And he says, so then there's a movie that while nobody's
Starting point is 00:17:43 accepting me, I don't have any money. I don't know how to pay rent. I have a hard time dropping Alka. I have a hard time dropping anything. Mel gives me a role that he was supposed to take, but he gave it to me. He called me, says, this is for you. He says, that itself helped me so much
Starting point is 00:17:58 because it allowed me to pay my bills during this time. And I did that. And then next thing you know, my takes off and I told Mel how can I pay it back to you and you know what Mel said when the next Robert Downey juniors going through this do it for them again okay because somebody did it for me you don't hear these types of stories about Mel Gibson right about about people the point I'm trying to make is even a Robert Downey junior had to go back and watch some of his old clips to say, dude, look how great you are and how great you can be. You know, sometimes athletes go through, you got to watch all tape of 10 years ago,
Starting point is 00:18:33 five years go highlights. I think Donald Lemons got to go watch that clip and say, dude, look at you. You're on fire. His most viral video this week outside of this clip is that clip. That clip got 3.3 million views on Twitter If you go to it look at that 3.3 million views This was just posted let's see when it was posted by the way It was posted a few days ago. It's got it's got. I'm sorry 8.6 million views. It's what it's got Why do you think done this as 8.6 million views? No one's taking shots at you No one's saying anything to you. No one's reacting to this video.
Starting point is 00:19:06 It's only content of you speaking and there's nine million people that are interested of what you have to say 10 years ago. You may want to play this and watch this while you're on vacation in Miami. Anyways, so great point. Sometimes you got to go back and get that source of inspiration. Where the fire came from instead of, hey, let me just kind of go out there and do what I'm doing here. Can we talk about what's going on with Russia and Ukraine and all the things that's going on? Obviously, President Biden pays a surprise visit to Ukraine just, I think it was two days
Starting point is 00:19:43 ago, or maybe even yesterday yesterday but i think it's yesterday he pays a visit uh... president by the other arrives in kieb ukraine and surprise visit to meet the president uh... zalinsky into announce additional half a billion dollars in u.s. assistance ahead of one of one of one year anniversary russia's a mission of the country the new aid package includes artillery ammunition anti armor systems and air surveillance radars, but no new advanced
Starting point is 00:20:05 weapons, Biden stated that this visit was to reaffirm our unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine's democracy sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to share that the U.S. will announce additional sanctions against elites and companies backing Russia's war machine Biden's visit to Ukraine. Comes at Russia, as Russia's expected to ramp up its offensive once again, and Ukraine officials warn of massive barrage of missiles that Russia may launch on February 24th. Here's an interesting thing to be thinking about. He did this on President's Day and never visited East Palestine. Pete Buttigieg took him 10 days to even recognize the events in East Palestine.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Kamala hasn't gone. They're not talking about the issues that's going on there. $100 billion given to them, all of this stuff going on. The other day, I did the math on how many total homeless people we have in America. Check this out. They say they want to end homelessness, okay? Do you know the $100 billion that we gave to Ukraine, okay? If homelessness in America is that big of an issue, you can clean it up. There's 524 total homeless people in America. Roughly a third of that is in California.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Okay, 524. If you took that hundred billion dollars, each homeless person could get 170,000 dollars if you divide it up. Now, you don't need to give it to them. If we took that money and we created a place for them to go to, live, work, shelter, different things and clean up those streets, what would happen to safety in those communities? What would happen to those things? Now, I'm not somebody that's endorsing us going
Starting point is 00:21:39 and spending the next hundred billion dollars for you because somebody's gonna come and say, well, well, now would you support this now? Would you support this now? No, what I'm saying to you is, the constant spending of the money that we have, what if we take that while we have the issues here we're going to Kiev, while people in East Palestine
Starting point is 00:21:57 are wondering what's going on with their water, you're going over there. So anyway, so while that's taking place, China and Russia's getting close at the same time. China's coming out and saying we're great allies and in simultaneously, why this is going on for the first time since the 70s, Russia started loading nuclear missiles on ships
Starting point is 00:22:15 for some since the 70s while this is going on, okay? And Zelensky comes out and says if China allies itself would Russia, there will be world war and I do think that China is aware of that. So having said that, you've been from that part of the world, what are your thoughts on what's going on and how risky it is what we're doing if we could potentially create a World War III.
Starting point is 00:22:35 What are your thoughts? Yeah, I think it's no brainer, like who suffers from the war, like the people, the women people and like elders they suffer the most. And the people, you know, the women, people, and like elders, they suffer the most. And I think not only that, actually, I live in New York City. I fled like Chicago because the day we had our first interview, I got robbed by black women.
Starting point is 00:22:57 And it's okay, anybody can be thief. They, she was punching me into my wallet or in for my son, who was in Chicago. Yes, that, exactly, that afternoon, after thing I went to law. Wow. But the thing is people on the streets circle around me, I'm racist. That was trying to call the cops on the stifts. Yeah. So people are crazy in Chicago. They just lost common sense. They're never going to defend anybody because of my skin color. I was not having a black skin color right. And then it was so, I mean, I charged her
Starting point is 00:23:26 to see what was present and then apparently there's a huge revenge crime. They come out, they bring a gun, just shoot you. And I'm a public person, they know where I am. So I had to flee the Chicago and come to New York. I go with my son, take a subway, and it is beyond dangerous. The first thing that is Korean women telling me don't
Starting point is 00:23:46 go near the tracks because this people especially black people just push Asian people. This is in New York. This is in New York. From Chicago, New York, did you think it was safer in New York? It's not. But what shocked me was on every corner in downtown New York, they said like drugs in the purple, like a, looking like candy. And my son thinks it's a lollipop. They are selling. So he just keep asking me to buy the lollipop for him.
Starting point is 00:24:14 So like the Southern border is open. I mean, I'm not safe living in America. It's so funny. Like I was looking for security and safety and freedom. Now I didn't get the security and safety in America. So our country is like this much a mess. And we are defending some other people's security. And what about American security?
Starting point is 00:24:35 I'm an American. My son is American. And I'm literally risking my life every day taking that subway. And we have to take the subway, and nobody can afford to have a bodyguard and take a drive or take your own. And that's why I'm so baffled.
Starting point is 00:24:53 What is this? So how much longer are you planning on staying in New York? I can because of the cost of my son. I got you. We have to be in the same city. Yeah, well, have you spoken to him about leaving New York? Well, he's saying, why is safer than Chicago at least?
Starting point is 00:25:11 It's like a little bit more safer than Chicago. So it's a relative thing. You don't get shot and bullets run through you as much as Chicago. So. You want to know something, you guys want to know why I think all this is happening? Why the border's open, why China's flying balloons, why everything's going to shit while Russia's threatening, getting out of the start treating, doing all that stuff is because we have right
Starting point is 00:25:34 now a week leader. And I'm going to make my point. You guys ever watched National Geographic Tom and you see a lion who's technically the king of the jungle. But he had the gun to a fight and he's limping and you see that he's weak. know what the jackals and the hyenas and all they all start to look and they're like oh shit They the king is hurt so they start to bite at his leg and they once they realize okay He doesn't have anymore everybody attacks right now America is that injured lion Russia's doing shit that they've never done since how long pat China's literally flying fucking balloons
Starting point is 00:26:09 Over over our nuclear missile bases that I was stationed in the borders wide open China sending fentanyl to kill our youth and get money back from us. We are such in a weird position right now. Shit that people haven't done since the 70s. It doesn't look good and I'm genuinely for the first time I'm like if something I'm not I wouldn't be surprised if something did pop off where somebody's like, oh shit, somebody launched something that they weren't supposed to launch and all health breaks loose. Cause no matter what you think, I know for a fact
Starting point is 00:26:32 working at a nuclear missile base, if one person launches one, it's over cause everybody's in a panic. Oh shit, can you imagine that? Somebody did somebody launch a nuke, it's over, it's over. And I feel like we're getting close to that point because those people with power, Putin feels like he's getting surrounded,
Starting point is 00:26:49 but that's not good. It's not a good thing. Tom. I think whenever there's a, Vinnie's right about the vacuum of leadership, and I think we have a week later in America right now. And I think that that we are still the greatest country in the world, and we can solve our problems. We can come together as a diverse people a week later in America right now. And I think that we are still the greatest country in the world, and we can solve our problems.
Starting point is 00:27:07 We can come together as a diverse people and get that done, but it needs strong leadership. And that leadership is not just at the top. The leadership is calls on all of us to step up starting with our schools. I feel incredibly strong about education and incredibly strong about providing safe, balanced education. And weak leadership at the top, weak leadership in the home, weak leadership at your school,
Starting point is 00:27:31 you make a great point. And there's a vacuum out here, there's just screaming. Tom, let me ask a question, though. Here's a question. The question we started off with is Russia, you know, Biden, being in Ukraine, not going to East Palestine, concerns of Russia, you know, Biden, being in Ukraine, not going to East Palestine, concerns of Russia, you know, putting their weapons on the ships, seeing the fact that China is uniting with Putin and saying, hey, we will sell you lethal weapons for the first time, not like regular weapons, lethal weapons. All of these things are, you know, going in the direction of, could this lead to an all-out war? Are we there? Or are we not there yet? Sorry about that. I was reacting. I thought you were asking me about my response to the
Starting point is 00:28:17 thing. No, no, no, no. This story. To the original question going back here, I think what is happening right now is the West, and let's call it the East, are fighting a proxy war or three in Ukraine. And you have to remember, let's take a look at the weapons that are being given. Have you noticed, but we will never give them those tanks. We'll give them some of those. We'll give money for MMS. We'll give money for small arms.
Starting point is 00:28:40 We'll give money for grenade launchers. We'll give money for, but we won't give them stingers. Okay, hell, get them stingers. If you notice that the level of weapons, and they keep making a point of it in each one of the articles, but they're giving them lethal now, but we're not going to give them these, but we're going to give them those. It's escalating, and I feel like it's a proxy world war that's being fought in the Ukraine as both sides are providing into a certain degree testing weapon systems
Starting point is 00:29:06 that they're giving to Ukraine and giving to Russia. China is giving stuff to Russia and the West is giving stuff to Ukraine. Remember, we're working to give them any planes at all and then they said, Polen, give us your NATO planes, please, please, give us the better planes that we can have. And Polen said, ah, maybe I won't. I think we're fighting a proxy war and it's going one step at a time, a drip at a time path on the advanced weapons.
Starting point is 00:29:31 And Pat, where's the outrage? The president of the United States, on president's day mind you, flew to fucking Ukraine, gave them another 500 million dollars. I don't think people, people just dole those numbers around. 500 million dollars, okay?
Starting point is 00:29:45 Frigate East Palestine there's a freaking dude pick fish or dying dogs are dying people can drink the the water We're you know what America is right now imagine having like you know, you're dead sick at the house And he's he's got for a bit dying of cancer You have the means to help him, but we're like you know what? I'm gonna donate to like a charity that's, where is that outrage? What the fuck is, I'm sorry for my language. What is going on? Like I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:30:11 I don't understand. How much money collectively have we given to Ukraine? How's it? 100 billion dollars. Billion. What? 100 billion. That doesn't make, never had that talk Adam.
Starting point is 00:30:22 When what's her name was here? It's gonna, it's gonna, it's not gonna be a trillion, I think what he was saying is a trillion. She said it was a hundred trillion. Yeah, well yo, think about this. A hundred billion dollars. And I don't give a damn, I feel bad for what's going on over there.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I don't care about Ukraine, I care about us. Why is putting America first such a bad thing? Why can't we come first? In Palestine, my thought about this is, I don't understand why it's being ignored. What is on those trains and who owns those trains that is able to drop the dime on the media and our political leaders so that everybody ignores it?
Starting point is 00:30:58 That I am actually confused, I'm not confused. I think somebody's dropped the dime and is suppressing the whole story. But how effectively did they do? If it wasn't for Twitter, America wouldn't know. And, Pat, we talked about this before I walked in here. All great, this is this, Jimmy. There's a documentary and last year,
Starting point is 00:31:18 December called White Noise, that the movie is set in 1984, the exact atrial derailment with toxic chemicals in East Palestine. If we're not living in the matrix, that's a fact that that happened in this movie last year in December. Wait, this is what you were talking about. This is what you were talking about.
Starting point is 00:31:35 This is my quote you wanted before we walked in a little bit so we can see the stories. So. This was a movie in 1984 set and in the movie, there's a train derailment in East Palestine and a dump chemical thing. If that is not insane, like I don't know what is, an airborne toxic event, I'm sorry. Is that what are the odds? Is that crazy?
Starting point is 00:31:58 So go back to this, go back to this. So are we at a point? So Putin doesn't want NATO to keep getting stronger NATO keeps acting act unlike uh... ukraine as part of NATO us and by the way this is not a democratic and Mitch McConnell said the most important than we can do right now is support ukraine so it's not like it's a democrat yeah McConnell is supporting this there's a few there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:32:22 people that are not supporting this jimmy door they had a uh... rally this Sunday in what he called a DC and there was a bunch of people there. Tulsi Gabbards there, you know, a bunch of, we know, you know, how DeSantis feels about this, how Trump feels about this. A lot of people are against constantly sending resources to these guys. But are we at the tipping point where all of a sudden bone? Because the way this is going to go is the moment the first person goes,
Starting point is 00:32:52 like you said earlier, it's go time. There is no more looking back and taking your time with it. Nope. What do you think? Yeah, I think that's why it's so scary. It's a, I think it's a word, so scary. You know, it's a, I think it's a world something some like a distant memory from Americans currently,
Starting point is 00:33:09 so they don't really understand how serious this thing is we are playing with right now. There's actual possibility of world war three with a nuclear power country. We are somehow think it's not possible. And so like let our guard down. And also it's like our country's a mess. It's not really a strong portion of everything is working. The country's a complete mess. China is, I mean, their ambition is destroying America. North Korea's only goal is destroying America.
Starting point is 00:33:38 I don't know what's even. Is it? So death upon America. Right. It's just about around the same. Literally, that's what they say. That's what they call death upon America. Right. It's just about around the same. Literally, that's what they say. Literally. That's what they say. That's what they call death upon America. It's pretty clear. Yeah. Their only purpose in their life is destroying America.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Yeah. And they are supporting Russia right now. So what are we doing? I think that's an amazing child. Like, so I don't know what kind of future that he's going to have. But I think this is where people in America's, because they never experience any difficulty in life, they cannot fathom that how easily this piece can go away. And it's not even democratically choose like who decides that we can give this much money
Starting point is 00:34:17 to Ukraine, who decides that? Isn't this like a democracy? I don't remember voting for that bill. I thought this was democracy. Who chose that it was okay to send them much money? Well, there's, if I may, by the way, we're about to reach the one-year anniversary of the Warren Ukraine. So that's, I think, part of the reason that he went over there on President's Day or President's Day weekend. The big guy went over there on president's day or president's day weekend there big guy the big guy went over that i think
Starting point is 00:34:46 uh... regarding the amount of money that's being spent that's it entirely okay conversation to have the congress has approved this budget uh... it's foreign affairs it's part of the entire budget you know as you know tom the majority of our gdp of our budget goes to social security medicare medicaid that's where the vast majority goes. And then beyond that, it goes to our defense. And then beyond that, what Pat touched on the other day was the freaking interest.
Starting point is 00:35:12 We have to pay on the amount of debt that we have. So I think it is incumbent on cities, first and foremost, Chicago, LA, New York, to clean up their own mess. Okay. It's not the federal government's job to clean up homelessness. I actually don't think that homelessness is something that we can fix I think there's always gonna be people who are fucked up and there's always gonna be homelessness in every country regardless But back to Ukraine. I think two things can be true at once. I think I and I stand steadfast with this Charlie Kirk set it the other day. It is just entirely immoral and Not the right thing to do for a country to invade a sovereign country and invade their sovereignty.
Starting point is 00:35:49 You just can't do that. That's just not anything that we stand for in America. We believe in democracy, believe in borders. We don't play that game. And that's part of the reason that we're backing Ukraine. At the same time, we can question, dude, how much freaking money are we spending over here? How much longer are we going to do this if we learned anything in Afghanistan it's like we don't want to be in fucking wars it just never end how long is this going to go and if it's the
Starting point is 00:36:14 quote unquote technical one year anniversary of the invasion but they've been doing this thing since 2014 in Crimea so this is an ongoing thing is this going to turn into another Afghanistan I hope not and then just breaking news right now is on Wall Street Journal. She, Chairman Xi of China, is planning to visit Moscow today or this week. And this is right after Putin, who has now officially suspended the nuclear arms treaty with the United States of America. So these are real life things. Tom touched on this proxy war. This is escalating to a point where we in America for the first few months, you crane, it's a part of Ukraine,
Starting point is 00:36:52 nobody gets a shirt about you, crane anymore, like just live your life. At this point, the war is escalating. People are dying, a couple hundred thousand people have died. There's something called diplomacy. We need to figure out who in America is gonna be the diplomat to basically provide diplomacy so we can end this freaking war.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Nobody wants it. It's not great points. I mean, I don't think it's gonna end anytime soon. She's gonna go visit Russia, which is probably gonna bring the spy balloon in phone, tell them all the shit that debt that I'm being serious show them everything and And then Adam Pat you know the start treaty that he's saying he's not gonna go in I think we have I think it's a
Starting point is 00:37:32 1500 and 50 Between us in Russia we can have or it might be individual ICBMs that have the reentry system, you know, I mean that can actually come in and land and hit where they want He's backing out of that so basically that's Russia saying we could put these systems on whatever the hell we want because bro Russia is The I think we're one in Russia's number two right path for for nuclear arsenal and threat for them to say listen We're backing out of this because we want to be able to put more not not just a warhead's a reentry system Which tells it where it could sit and where it could land and that's the other I'm trying right now That is not a good team to be teaming up
Starting point is 00:38:07 as those two, bro. That's, I'm telling you, it's not going to be good. Well, one, one, one final point. We have the luxury in America to sit here on the other side of the world and genuinely rest easy at night. If you're in Europe, because one thing I'll continue to remind you is the entire EU supports this war. I know. The entire EU. So if you're Germany, if you're Poland, if you're on that NATO border, you're the ones who literally would be facing nuclear 100 percent. Death, okay?
Starting point is 00:38:39 So if they're still behind this, as America, are we taking their cues from them, are they taking our cues from them, or are they taking our cues from us, or is it a symbiotic relationship? I don't know. But if they're resting easy at night, I think we can too. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:55 But what do we want out of this? Well, what do we want? Do we want to put it in the tie? Like, we want to destroy it. Very good question. You're like, what is our goal of keep going this path? I think you nailed it on the head, you know what I mean? What is the goal?
Starting point is 00:39:07 We've set the precedent. Hey, we don't stand for this. We've entered this war. I think you're absolutely... I made a statement. What's the point now? Yeah. And I think we need to read into basically what Biden is saying is that he's reaffirming
Starting point is 00:39:19 our relationship with Ukraine and we're not stopping. And I would like to know what the ideal outcome is for doing all this. What else would it be? Maybe Pat, they have a shitload of dirt on his ass because we already know, I'm just saying, hold on, I'm just wang, I'm giving you a bunch of options and you know what Zelensky's saying?
Starting point is 00:39:38 Hey bro, we got all, we got all that shit on the laptop and we got all of it. Just keep giving us, keep giving us, I don't know. I'm just saying could that be a little bit of a, just again, that's what Biden's worth? What Congress has approved that. Yeah, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but Come on in bro, Biden from the beginning was like come on in that's on record Biden came to Russia He said yeah, we won't get that mad at they do a minor minor Encouraging in Ukraine. He said that shit live. He basically gave them the green lights to comment my point is
Starting point is 00:40:15 Biden is compromised so for somebody to be giving a country that much freaking money Just open wallet all the time and going to visit and kiss this guy's ass There has to be other elements involved. I'm saying it's not just one thing, but she made a great point. Why? Could somebody answer me why? Yeah, I think what you're gonna see in Russia
Starting point is 00:40:32 will be held accountable if it invades, and it depends on what it does. If it's one thing like a minor incursion and then we end up having to fight about what to do and not do. Like, dude, that's giving somebody a green light. Go, go, you could drop a couple of times just don't really go to war
Starting point is 00:40:47 so i do say that point you're making their money thanks listen we're gonna uh... we're gonna learn what's gonna happen with this uh... with a hundred billion dollars the point was into fix homelessness that's a mindset issue that we're having there's a reason why keeps happening in a late to me it's that's policies is the real issue it's the example to say Democrats, if you claim you care about homeless people as much as you do, this is what you could
Starting point is 00:41:09 have done with the money given to Ukraine. Your cause, your need, your money could have helped America, but it went elsewhere. That was the point with the homeless stuff that we're talking about. Anyway, so let's talk about this other thing. So, capitalism, there's this guy out there, I don't know if he guys know or not. His name is Bernie thing. So capitalism. There's this guy out there. I don't know if he goes, no or not. His name is Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders. He was on this show called Face of Nation. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:32 And she, face the nation. And she asks a very simple question of him. He's having an event right now that's $95. That's being sold on ticket master, ticket master that just got a bunch of heat. So credit to her for asking the question of Bernie and look how uncomfortable it gets very quickly. I'm going to promote this book. It's okay to be angry about capitalism. And you're here talking about it.
Starting point is 00:41:59 I understand we're not the bad guys you're describing in the book when it comes to media. But tickets for your tour, apparently you're describing in the book when it comes to media but tickets for your tour apparently you're selling for ninety five dollars on ticket master which is can accused of anti-competitive behavior you know that some of your democrats are criticizing them aren't you benefiting i'm not i'm not trying to dismantle first of all those decisions are made
Starting point is 00:42:20 totally by the publisher in the bookseller i think right now i'm just a humble senator with no problems. Go back a little bit. Go back a little bit. Some tickets. Go back. I talk. Going on tour to promote this book, it's okay to be angry about capitalism. And you're here talking about it. I understand we're not the bad guys you're describing in the book when it comes to media. But tickets for your tour, apparently you're selling for $95 on ticket master, which is accused of anti-competitive behavior. You know that some of your Democrats are criticizing them.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Aren't you benefiting yourself from this? No, I'm not. I'm trying to dismantle. First of all, those decisions are made totally by the publisher and the bookseller. I think it is one case where in one place here in Washington politics and pros and independent books are charging some tickets Most of my thing is 50 and you get a book as well So if you want to come you can have to pay 40 bucks. I'll throw in the book for free You're doing a free
Starting point is 00:43:16 Events but I don't make a nickel out of these things Oh, of course No, particularly, but that's again, nothing to do with that. That is, if you wrote a book, it would probably be the same process. First of all, just so you know, I have been through this with Simon and Schuster and now we're going through with Penguin, you get to say what you want to participate in
Starting point is 00:43:38 and what you don't want to participate in. Do they force you to go places like your book that's coming out? Did they force you and tell you, you better go sell tickets at ticket master or else, you're fired. Did they tell you something like that? I mean. And your book is the best seller.
Starting point is 00:43:54 It's not like your book sold the thousand copies. Your book was a New York Times best seller. And the next one that's coming up, right? That's a new one. That's coming out. It just came out for me. All the time. They don't force you to do those things.
Starting point is 00:44:05 They don't have a grief that I want to do interviews. Like they don't have an authority. You have to do this. That's right. Right. Like he just really all up to me. So if he doesn't want to do it, he could always have done like Bernie secretly loves capitalism. Here's what's so crazy about it.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Watch this. He bashes capitalism, writes a book book on capitalism while a capitalistic company Prince it ships it Publishes it sells it on Amazon Promotes it on social media and goes talks about our major media companies Platform all started by capitalism by capitalism sucks. Yeah, it's like it's like it's like Greta Thumbberg the climate activist lover So she's there with her book. She's sold not many thousands of trees got killed and chopped down
Starting point is 00:44:52 I think it's because of her that talks about free education But if you want to get educated about what I think I'm gonna charge you Here's what I think's happening with Bernie. He's too far deep when he he had no money, when he started off as a Senator, congressman, or mayor of whatever Vermont, that story was fine. It's okay. Hey, socialism, democratic socialism, it's all good. Now that he's 80 something years old,
Starting point is 00:45:15 he's made his millions, by the way, which is fine by the time you're fucking 80s, you should have a million things. If you just contribute to your 401K and make a hundred fifty grand a year, that's normal. But now that he's reached this worldwide, international, certainly national fame and books are being sold of it and he's speaking and it's like this, his popularity is at a grand scale. I'm assuming he's grappling with the money and the fame and the success and the notoriety
Starting point is 00:45:40 versus no, capitalism is bad. I can't control it. It's like, well, where are you?'re already yeah, which one is it Bernie? He got to pick a path like he owns Bernie somebody Yeah, Bernie. Oh, as you a Bernie. What are you saying? No, I mean, I it's interesting because he owns a multiple property the idea of like not capters not owning anything So aoc and he should be the first one to announce all their properties not owning anything
Starting point is 00:46:05 Sell it all Tom. I'd be as a very intimate story with Bernie. I don't know if you want to tell the whole story. It's a myth. No, he really does. He upstairs. No, watch this. It's actually pretty funny. So a colleague and I are in Vermont visiting a company in our industry.
Starting point is 00:46:21 The industry that was working at the time. And we as I'm going through middle detector in the airport, there's this corn mire, there's kind of a silverhead gentleman, I look at the Bernays, right behind me. We walked the middle detector, yet it. And I kind of bumped shoulders with him over getting the bags off and I said, oh, hello, Senator. And he said, oh, how are you?
Starting point is 00:46:40 And we walk a few steps and my colleague says, hand me a step to the men's room real quick. And Bernie goes in there. So I'm just waiting for my friend to come out. And he comes out and he says, I just said hi to Bernie Sanders. Where? While we were both standing there in the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Oh, where you were both, yeah, relieving ourselves. Says, he said hello, and then he farted. Incredibly loud. And I said oh so you know sort of passing legislation and he walked out and so my colleagues goes wow that's a forever story I said yeah you forever can say at the Burlington, Vermont it. Did he say excuse me? He said, you know, I don't think he did Bernie that's disgusting But listen when you hear stories like this and and a guy is again, this is a great part about capitalism Sometimes you don't even have to debate the other person, you
Starting point is 00:47:45 just bring them, you let them talk and eventually like, oh, there's a leak. Oh, there's a leak. There's a leak. It's like, go ahead, tell us why you believe in socialism. Tell us why you believe in communism. Bingo, that doesn't work. You're using a capitalistic platform to do what you're doing here. Are you going to say something? In this case, in the middle of the leak, there is a fart. So it's a... There really was. I don't think you can beat Visdox stories. Ten beat that. So now, let's go to the next story, which is, should we go, let's do Disney time.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I think you got something to say about Disney. Disney time. And Disney layoffs, what page is that? Ten. Is it a page ten story, or is it eight? There's, okay. You know what me is not? I have.
Starting point is 00:48:24 You don't need those. bit you don't need those you need to be returned to office plan may cause a long term harm workers say thousands of disney employees have a sign petition that is pushing back on the company's return to office plan arguing that the four day work week requirement will unintended consequences will have unintended consequences for the company.
Starting point is 00:48:46 The petition has garnered over 2,300 signatures from employees across Mickey Mouse's businesses. The workers claim that the mandate has likely to have unintended consequences. I don't know how to replace it. Go ahead Tom. What are your thoughts on this deal with what Disney's doing? First of all, this is a group of employees that are coming out protesting the four-day work week, four days. And remember, Iger said two things.
Starting point is 00:49:09 We're a creative company, come together to discuss creative ideas, and come together from mentorship, and be identified as potential for management. This is not Iger telling everybody you will be in the office 60 hours five days. Remember, this goes back exactly a month ago. Everybody seems pretty reasonable. But now you've got 2,300 Disney people to say, no, no, that's even that's too much. We are hard to replace talent,
Starting point is 00:49:34 and here it comes, represent vulnerable communities. That was what they said. So this happens about two days ago to be exact. Yesterday, Wall Street Guidance is given, and Disney says, we need to brace yourself because I think there will be actually 5,000 additional workers laid off. Wow. That's what they said yesterday. So can I be Bob Eiger or you be head of HR?
Starting point is 00:49:58 Yeah. Okay. Hey Vinny. Yeah, Bob here. Listen, I may have to lay off 5,000 more people. We got to pick 5,000 more people to lay off. I got a question for you. Yeah, you have that petition handy.
Starting point is 00:50:12 I think I have it right here. You got it right here. Yeah, all right. Perfect. All right, put them on the list. Tell all those people they don't want to come to work, that they can work from home for somebody else. Got you.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Have a nice day. Thank you. I think this is so ironic that people are coming forward when i thought that i germinate a very measured good points about coming back to work on a four day plan some of you are in traffic and berbant california is just four days and then they go there and then disney behind the scenes is is looking other expenses. And so the unintended consequence, there's a bunch of people going, oh man, I signed that thing. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Vinnie. No, I just felt really cool. I had like an HR job. I felt like I was in charge of something. You look like an HR job. Oh yeah, like you could talk to your friends. I was shot at an HR job. Oh man.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Thank you, my office. Yeah. I actually think that these conversations are actually becoming more and more important. The overarching conversation is this concept of work-life balance. And I think that Disney is just sort of in the crosshairs of a greater conversation.
Starting point is 00:51:17 This isn't the first time we've discussed four-day work weeks. Certain countries, I think, I believe, have started to implement this, Portugal being one, versus what you see, for instance, like in countries like Japan, you see people that like are so burnt out because their entire life is just spent working, that it's acceptable to just sleep in the streets or they have like areas we can sleep. So I'm actually totally okay with whether it's countries, whether it's municipalities, whether it's corporations, completely having this dialogue. Do you live to work or do you work to live?
Starting point is 00:51:52 This is a conversation I think is okay. This isn't like nonsensical BS. These is people's lives and their livelihood. And I think these conversations are totally acceptable. Any thoughts? I mean, I come from communist North Korea. There's no weekends, right? We have revolutionaries, we have to work.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Wow. Every single hour from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wow. Even your chart, five years old, we all have to be in the forced labor. I just, I don't know, like you go you got to work there's AC there's indoor bathroom there's a clean water what's the complaint you get paid for it. So there's no work life balance in North Korea what's the way I mean we don't know the word but I think it's
Starting point is 00:52:36 just so weird like America is so soft. I'm so lazy. Can I ask you an actual question? I think what she's saying if Bob I grew wants people to work seven days a week, move your headquarters to North Korea. Exactly. Well, you're in. I think you know me, you might be the perfect person to ask this question because we covered this the other day on the podcast where By generation The the level of pride and patriotism in America has decreased. Yeah, so Baby boomers was in the 70 something percentile
Starting point is 00:53:04 Yeah, so baby boomers was in the 70 something percentile Jen Xers were in the 60s or 50s Millennials were in the 40s and Gen Z 16% Proud to be America You're from frickin North Korea. I mean the bottom of the barrel as far as human rights go How good do we have it here in America based on your experience all over the world? I mean, this is a pure miracle. I think, I went to school at Columbia with the Gen. Gen. Z. Their dream is destroying America, right? And bring the comments revolution into this country.
Starting point is 00:53:33 This is Columbia. This is Columbia, right? Not Columbia. Columbia, Pablo Escobar. This is Columbia, University in New York. Columbia. Let me pronounce it correctly. I mean, they say, well, they're not in Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:53:43 What our friend, Gad Sad, basically, was talking about the wokeism that's going. So go ahead. So I think this is what it shocks me. Capitalism is so ethical, so compassionate that they created the term human rights. I mean, common sense, we don't even know that that's a concept.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Like when I heard about animal rights in South Korea, I was like, what do we, my puppy rights? I did not know I had rights, I didn't mean that. We got so much human rights here, that we about animal rights in South Korea. I was like, what do you mean my puppy rights? I did not know I had rights, I didn't mean that. We got so much human rights here that we got animal rights. I thought it was pretty funny. I like you now. Yeah, so I don't know why would you want to tear down
Starting point is 00:54:14 this ethical, most amazing system? You use the word soft, that we are so soft. Explain that, go further on why you think we are so soft here. It's because we have it so good here. Yeah, I mean, they complain of having too much food. Like they complain about not having actual problem. They have to make a problem out of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Like out of just literally thin air, they create injustice. Like they're injustice, like there's a 10,000 pronouns and you cannot pronounce them. You can't remember now, you're a bigot. That's their injustice. What were the pronouns that you were using in North Korea? I we we just had we just we yeah
Starting point is 00:54:50 Not even an I you couldn't pick a he she him day why we what is just we you know me that's really the revolutionaries That's a really good bottom that I don't my brain what the what what is there? What is the policy on homosexuality? Like, there's obviously gay people there. How does the Supreme Leader and all of them, how do they do that? Are people, I have no idea what it's like all the time. So I think that's where North Korea is so different.
Starting point is 00:55:17 They denies love between people. They did not give us a vocabulary. So my mother never told me that she loved me. So we don't have the word for love. We don't have she loved me. So we don't have the word for love. We don't have word for human rights and we don't have the word for gay. So that means you cannot even know what that is. Oh my gosh, so if you guys see somebody dancing,
Starting point is 00:55:34 you're like, okay, that guy is not one of us. Like he's weird. Is that what their mindset is? Yeah, you're not allowed to dance. Why, you can't be dance. You're not allowed to sing other than the propaganda song. Oh my. You go to prison if you move your body freely.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Can you imagine being a jail peddler? What are you in here for? I moonwalked and now I'm doing 20. And it's also, you're not allowed to make love to your wife standing up because it could lead to dancing. That's what I'm saying. And the last question to say, when people talk about the labor camps,
Starting point is 00:56:04 what is like a day for someone that's in a labor camp? Like, is it just wake up, eat, and this all day until you're passing out? What is it? People say that it's like one of the worst experiences to be in. When you're sent to Concentration Camp, the first thing you cannot do is why am I here? Can't even question why. Yeah, if you do, you get executed. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:56:27 So they just exist as three generation punishment. So you don't even know who messed up in your three generation family that I ended up here. So you just shopped to the prison camp. First thing you learn is you never ask why you're there. And you learn you never look at the guard's eyes because you're not human being anymore. You are the sub-hymnotes. So you cannot look at their eyes and they rape women constantly. They don't last more than three months.
Starting point is 00:56:51 They let them clean those nuclear debris. Oh my, nuclear debris and they're getting raped and it's... And they do the biochemical testing on the image. Like the Nazis did, put in the gas chamber and testing on this, like, biochemical weapons on this. And you're saying so, you're saying so somebody in your three generational family could have done something way down. You don't even know what the hell. And just grab you and they put you in. Yeah, all I said, a few decades before and it came out now, the grandpa one day maybe drinking with friends like in the 40s before anything happened. And one
Starting point is 00:57:23 day, maybe I'm not sure social about communism. And that came out, somebody later reported, remember the conversation in this eighties goes to police and said, I remember he's setting the 40s. Now you end up in the prison camp. You'll imagine that. One more question regarding capitalism communism. If there's a greater case example of communism
Starting point is 00:57:44 versus capitalism It is exactly what happened in Korea versus North Korea and South Korea. Yeah, if you look at South Korea Who basically during the Korean War aligned themselves with the USA in the 50s and you know What is it the 38th parallel and then North Korea aligned themselves with the Soviet Union and China and China Yeah, and if you look at South Korea They are almost top 10 in GDP in the world I think their number of 10 or 11 right now. Yeah versus you have North Korea. They're not even on the spectrum So what have you experienced just you've been to South Korea? I assume yeah
Starting point is 00:58:15 I live just for five years. So the the the benefits of capitalism and democracy and everything that kind of companies that in South Korea Versus the hellhole that is North Korea. There's no greater case example if you would expound upon that. Yeah, I think that's it's nothing about your genetics or your culture and it's all like anything tradition. It's all about freedom or communism tyranny, right? When we let the individuals be free and they innovate, they create wealth. And we can achieve like miracles. And look at North Korea, the same exact potential we create like living hell.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah. So you know, can you go, there's no way, can you, when's the last time you visited South Korea and is there, and like, can you go there and if you do go there, what, what is that situation? The intelligence don't like me going back because I'm on the killing list of Kim Jong-un. It's embarrassing for them if I get Assassin's house Korea, so I'm pretty sure they have people oh, yeah They have just waiting for somebody like you. They do what's the population of just Korea as a whole
Starting point is 00:59:16 So North Korea they don't even know the population so many of them dying of starvation So they say 24 million by more realistic something 21 million the paparazzi hasn't grow But I'll career now is 50 million people almost okay, so you say so what what what what is it in North you said about 30? 21 21 and so you're the of the 290 here 9 or wrapping up at least here's what I want you to do I want you to go visit South Korea. I've enjoyed your time to spend one week Okay, and then I want you to sneak into North Korea I could do that and then I'm in a report from. Okay. And then I want you to sneak into North Korea.
Starting point is 00:59:45 I could do that. And then I'm going to report from there. Okay. And you want us to give us the differences. I get 100%. Yeah. Okay. Your ticket is booked.
Starting point is 00:59:53 I want you to let me know all the ins and outs. Yeah. She has to help me out a little bit. You can again. There's no airport. It's all finished. I can't even get it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Go ahead, Rob. Enjoy. This is a satellite map of Korea at night. Look at North Korea. Oh my God. It's just dark. Yeah. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:00:12 If that is in capitalism, innovation, free movement enterprise, I was watching. I'm speaking out of the event last week in Vegas. Palais event. And the one to speakers was a stress speaker. He's talking about there's good stress, there's bad stress, you know, all this depression, anxiety, all this stuff. And I showed him a video. I said, I saw a video from 50 Cent, and it was the most powerful point he made. 50 Cent said,
Starting point is 01:00:39 being depressed is a luxury. If you're depressed, it's because you can afford to be depressed. He says, go explain it to the husband that's got three kids working two jobs. He doesn't have any time to be depressed. He's working seven days a week. Any of these guys that say they're depressed, this is 50 cents, you can afford it. It's a luxury because if your back was against the wall, you would not have the luxury being depressed. It's a luxury because if your back was against the wall, you would not have the luxury being depressed. It's a completely different perspective. So sometimes depression is caused for people who have way, way too much time on their hands because they're not being productive. Here you are, somebody that just came to America who escaped God at an age
