Starting point is 00:00:34 I ain't running, homie, look what I become. I'm the one. Okay, Rob, which episode are we on? 467. By the way, best comment of the day before we get started. Somebody said, can you wait five minutes after you use the bathroom? That was me, Pat. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Did you put the comment? Anyways, gang, hope you guys had a great weekend. We've been looking forward to this. I feel like I haven't done a podcast for a couple of weeks. Last week was very busy for us. A lot's happened. We had a vault conference in Palm Beach Convention Center. We shut down the city literally. Streets were packed. People couldn't make it to their meetings, their business
Starting point is 00:01:13 meetings. There was a few thousand cars, nearly 6,000 people in the room if you haven't seen the clips yet. The Rock was there. Max Tegmark, Will Gidera crushed it. And we had such great people. We had people over 100 countries showing up to the event. And it was phenomenal. I was, my days go, you guys were there. My days are 14 hour days and it's every day like that. Back to back to back and the after party at the Flagler Park. How sick was that?
Starting point is 00:01:39 I had no idea it existed. There was a train behind the stage where the cabaret girls were singing and that train was well bed It was like a music Can I ask why every time you would go on to train one of the cabaret girls would follow? What was that all about? Listen, I'm trying to populate the planet, you know, our numbers are down I mean, I think she was pretty. She was beautiful.
Starting point is 00:01:59 It was it was a it was a great time, but can I just give a quick shout out? Yeah, go ahead. I, you were on stage. I I'm not going to edify Pat because I know he doesn't like that. But so you didn't really get the opportunity to get into the mix and the crowd would see the people we're man of the people Vinny and I, you know, Tom can be an elitist at times, you know, this, this whole thing. We know, we know, but Tom was doing his part. You're built that way.
Starting point is 00:02:25 But shout out to the Valiantainers, the fans of the PBD Podcast, our new friends, Monecters. Just shout out to the team that put it on, the events team, the Monect team. It was- Gotta give them some major credit. It was absolute. I walked into the back of the room. BDC, you know. Can't even see.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Can't even see. Pat's like that small, all the way in the front. It looked like an army of just like people listen. Because if you think about it, it is a freaking army of the like-minded people loving America, positivity, wanted to grow, loving children, loving God. It was one of the greatest experiences
Starting point is 00:02:56 I've had in a long time. I couldn't walk with Adam to the bathroom without being stopped and like 40 people circling around us and recording and talking about God and life and business and guys. I did a podcast at the urinal. The guy's like, I'm gonna catch you right now. I was in there for 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:03:10 It was awesome. Rob, I'm gonna send you this video. Go ahead, Tom. I'm gonna send you this video if you can play it. You know, the emotions and all that you're describing was tremendous, but also I was reminding myself that what was sitting there in that room is the engine of our economy.
Starting point is 00:03:23 You know, small and mid-sized businessmen and people that have put their ass on the line to build a business, making jobs and doing it, and to see them feeling so good about being around like-minded people. And that's what they were saying. He says, you know, I've gone to conferences and there's a little bit of DEI in it. You guys don't do that. You're the way I think. You're with my heart and I'm building the business and I'm making friends in states
Starting point is 00:03:44 far from me with people that now I'm gonna be Amazing and so it's the engine of our economy look at that engine. Oh By the way, those two flags were Greg's Jonathan Jen I have to tell you a story. By the way, those two flags were Greg's idea. Greg, Jonathan, Jen, Bree, Kelly, Mario, the team, they absolutely crushed it. But it's 8.15. Mario calls me. It's day one. Mario's like, oh my God, Pat, this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Only $1400 people here. I don't know what we're going to do. What's going on? I said, Mario, this is different than the insurance conference. Just be patient. And then all of a sudden, thousands of people showed up. The place was wall to wall, standing room in the, if you remember.
Starting point is 00:04:30 We're in the back, we're in the back. We had to bring chairs into place, it was pretty wild. Typically at conferences like this, they have to remove chairs, 500 chairs, thousands, oh, we'd certainly need to pack it up. They were like, we're gonna need 16 more chairs because we're over capacity. It was incredible.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Can I tell you one of my favorite stories real quick? Go ahead. And it made me realize as an American how lucky we are because there was people, you said a hundred countries, a hundred plus countries. That's insane. Yeah. So people came up to this one Scottish guy came up to me. He's like, you have no idea what you're doing.
Starting point is 00:04:58 You have no idea. We don't have something like this in Europe. In a, in that side of the world, they don't preach capitalism and entrepreneurship. You guys are changing the world. Irish or Scottish? I was like, listen William Wallace. Was the Irish or Scottish? I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:05:12 That was Irish. No, stop, stop, stop. Let him finish. But the point is he was like, whatever I can do to take capitalism to that side of the globe, I'll do. Let me tell you. And get my lucky charms. Like the whole vibe was great. That's Irish. He was like, all right, you bastard. Then, then, he's like, Patek's great, lad. He's great, then.
Starting point is 00:05:28 You know what? You one-upped me. I'm sorry, I'm just kidding. I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish. I don't know, you've already been Irish. You can't take our company. He's good.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Here's what I'm gonna tell you. Oh, God. For you, if you were in the room, I'm not gonna go more on this, we're gonna move on. if you were in the room, I'm not gonna go more on this, we're gonna move on. If you were in the room, you know what happened. It was absolutely crazy, it was insane, there was something very magical and unique going on. It's the biggest growth we've ever had year over year to the event ever and we've been doing this for five years. Not to cut you guys one question, win our tickets for next year because I already know people that
Starting point is 00:06:03 were like, I already got tickets for next year. I already know people that were like I already got tickets for I think CEO sold out already I think are you serious yeah they were the main see that they were at home my god but the but the point with this is next year by the way it's so that we don't have a location we don't have a date that's what I'm saying that's the craziest trust people and every year it's like that but they're fully ready for however this the part I want you to be thinking about People have no clue what's going on behind closed doors and what the budget for this event was you know much money we spent on this event Something with something that starts with a Ocho Ocho eight point four million dollars for this event
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yep, Ocho Cinco what you look at the sponsorships you look at all the stuff that we had it was Wild but wait till you see what happens next It's gonna take about people are really starting to kind of see what's going to most event businesses are getting smaller It's very hard business growing your events business at a hundred percent of your it's not easy But people were just getting warmed up be patient. You'll see what's coming next Anyways, let me get into some of the stories that we got to cover here today. For everybody that was there, we had a blast with you. Awesome. Looking forward to seeing you guys again in the future projects that we have coming up. All right. So while this is going on, this
Starting point is 00:07:15 guy named Tyreek Hill is running away from cops. Okay? And Miami police stops him. They take him out and Tyreek says, this is all because of my skin color and all this other stuff. Anyways, we got videos and everybody's wondering what's going on. Coaches, managers, agents responding to it, we'll talk about that. Haitian migrant eating pets. If you haven't seen this video, little weird folks. And when we get to it, this is in Ohio, we'll first warn you before you watch the video, but it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Steph Curry says, women's rights to choose is a top issue for supporting Harris. We'll talk about that. Elite University is ranking the lowest for free speech. We'll talk about that. Father of Georgia school shooting suspect charged in court alongside son. Candace Owens suspended from YouTube over Kanye West interview. We'll talk about that. Marlon Waynes opens up about the emotional breakdown of her late parents during standup
Starting point is 00:08:08 special. This clip that he has with Shea Shea, Club Shea Shea and Shannon Sharp, it's unbelievable. You have to watch how he gives credit to his parents. It's a phenomenal clip that will play. California Bill, folks, again, all you do is hate on California. Listen California, if only you kept coming with these dumb policies, we would stop talking about you. But who the hell comes out with a bill like this?
Starting point is 00:08:31 California bill requires all new cars to beep when you speed. What? All new cars to beep when you speed? Yes. Apparently they thought that's a good idea. Erdogan seeks Islamic alliance against Israel, says its expansionism won't stop in Gaza. Trump is giving a job to Musk. Check this out. He says he'll ask Elon Musk to lead government efficiency commission if he wins election. Can you imagine
Starting point is 00:08:58 the Elon's first meeting who he invites, who he doesn't invite? He's going to pull off a 1992 dream team. You notice Chevrolet is not invited for it. Nobody's invited. Yeah, let that sink in. Yeah, exactly. State Senator forced chief of staff to perform sex. Does it really say acrobatics? That left him with, no way.
Starting point is 00:09:20 This is him? So he, so she, wait a minute. She asked him to perform sexual acts and left him with back and hip injuries time. This is a lawsuit. I'm by the way, this kind of a story. Some guys may reach out to that Senator and say, listen, I'm pretty acrobatic. You can do it. Put your back into it. Are you ready for interns? I'll do it for free. Yeah. Nation's nation with lowest birth rate is rocked by soaring sales of, ready? Dog strollers.
Starting point is 00:09:48 All right, we have to talk about that because it's Wall Street Journal. Mark Cuban, Mark Cuban's just on fire lately with the amount of admiration he has for Trump, criticizes Harris's unrealized gains tax. Interesting. Trump criticizes debate conditions in Pennsylvania. Pfizer accused of testing drugs at Chinese army hospital by lawmakers. Conservative influencers linked to Russian—this happens when I was at the vault, by the way. I had no clue what was going on.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I was like, did you see this? Did you see this? Did you see this? Maybe we'll talk about that. Conservative influencers linked to Russian disinformation scheme, and Rob, I think you got a couple clips on that. And then scientists calls for Americans to cut off air conditioning in summer, claiming it causes global warming.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Folks, turn off the AC, it's science. We gotta trust the science. If he says it, we gotta trust him because it's calling global warming, the warming of the globe. We have to pay attention to it. And then Time Magazine decides to create an AI list of influencers
Starting point is 00:10:42 and they have Scarlett Johansson in there. But you know who they don't have in there? Who do you think is not in there? It's Sc they have Scarlett Johansson in there. But you know who they don't have in there? Who do you think is not in there? It's Kenny Milan, who is not in there, which is kind of weird to not put him in there. Anyways, all right, so here's what I wanna do. Yesterday, I'm sitting there with Tico, my oldest son.
Starting point is 00:10:57 We had one of our best conversations together. It was just phenomenal. And we're talking long-term planning. I won't bore you to death with the long-term planning part, but we sat down, we said, hey, what's your long-term planning. I want you, you know, bore you to death with the long-term planning part. But we sat down, we said, hey, what's your long-term plan? And then at the end, I had, I accidentally found my daily affirmation list from 2002. Okay. That I used to read every day, two, three times a day.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I don't want to show it yet, Rob. Put it down for showing it. But before I show it to you guys and I read it to you, I actually want to read it to you. I want to start off today's podcast with some motivation to show you 22 years ago when I had nothing, I did $49,000. How much words had a positive impact in this regular guy's life, I'll read it to you. But before I read it to you, a lot of you ask us this question and we finally have the announcement to make to you here today.
Starting point is 00:11:42 They ask the question and they'll say, Pat, how do you guys do your research for PBD Podcast? What do you guys get it? How do you guys put it together? After all the questions and the prep that we had, we eventually decided to hire 15 machine learning engineers to design a new site leveraging AI to give you intel. Nothing like this exists out there. Some of you guys are going to say, yeah, but did this other company ground this and that other company this?
Starting point is 00:12:06 Nothing like this exists because they're limited on the questions you can ask on AI. You can ask any questions of this on AI and the ability, this AI that we have on the engine for vtnews.ai. Nobody else has on the marketplace today. Let me kind of show you what this is going to be doing. So Rob, if you can do me a favor. So this is vt be doing. So Rob, if you can do me a favor. So this is VT News.ai. You log in, you can go to Rob, are you logged in already or not yet?
Starting point is 00:12:30 Not yet. Okay, then I can't show it to you now. All the stuff that I was going to show you has to be logged in. That's going to take us five, 10 minutes to do so. But we'll talk about this later on tonight. Rob, Tom, have you sent them? Can you go log in just to show it to them? Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:12:44 If, uh, uh. By the way, shout out to, by the way, you go to VT news.ai on the homepage. Uh, Tom, can you hide this story? So the website is not showing rap. Yeah. Because can you tell the people in the back to not do that? Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:01 So if you want to log in real quick, so I can show you what this does, it's pretty wild what it does with the AI component of it and the lopsides part of it. So Pat, when you say 50 AI learning engines, 15 machine learning engineers, help put this together. Okay. Like we hired these guys. Got you. The last seven, eight months to put this together and here's what it does.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Rob, are you in? Okay, fantastic. Go to homepage page please. And if we can show it from the back. So if you look at any story that's on there, for example, you can find out what source the news is coming from. If you click on that story right there,
Starting point is 00:13:37 go to any story that we have. Jalen Ramsey calls for police officers firing, right? Okay, on this story with Tyreek Hill, you can go to the right side of that story, right there where it says left sources. Click on left sources, Rob, where it's right there, on the bottom up, right there. Click on that. It tells you who from a left-leaning news source reported on that. If you click on right sources, you can find that who from the right-leaning source reported on that. If you want to go to center sources, it tells you exactly who to kind of see their angle
Starting point is 00:14:05 and then zoom out a little bit, Rob. Zoom out a little bit, Rob. So if you go right there, go down, go down right there. If you say, I just want to read the stories for center, click on the center. Just click on the center and just read those and then click on the link and you can go to that story and read exactly what folks from the center are doing. Again, this is, you're going to see us using this on a podcast all the time, but there's a couple things that's freeing you and a couple things you've got to pay for if you want to go back
Starting point is 00:14:27 to VTNews.ai and go all the way to the top, Rob. So now, go back to that story you were on, the Jalen Ramsey story, okay? The AI to the right will generate any questions you want to ask and you can ask any other questions. Just click on, can you zoom in on the top question it's got right there? How has this incident been received and what concerns has it raised? Click on that one. And then press the right button, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Let's see what it tells us, right there when we read it. So, iPods, I don't know if you have any information, the article I have access to is on my website to provide an answer about Chinese balloons. You can go back, Rob, on the policy. Okay, so go back to the top part and go to Lopsided, Rob, if you can go to Lopsided. And if you click on this story, this part here on the Lopsided side tells you what story is only being reported from one side, the left, the right, the center. Click on the EU Court Upholds Google. Click on that one right there. And you'll see this
Starting point is 00:15:21 here, 67% of the people reporting on this are from the left, only 33% are from the right. Go back on the lopsided, if you go back to the lopsided, and go to another one. See how many sources they have. Go a little lower. Okay, go to the middle one. Huawei launches world's first triple screen phone. 60% left, only 20% right, 20% center.
Starting point is 00:15:43 So not a lot of people on the right are reporting on the story. And then the other thing on the timeline, if you go all the way up to the timeline, go to the timeline, all the way at the top, you can follow any story and why one day there was an uptick. So for example, let's go to Israel-Palestine conflict, let's just say. Click on that. And go all the way to the top. You can see if you go on that timeline and move it, you can see Rob right there, what
Starting point is 00:16:09 day is the busiest day. So if you go to the busiest day where the uptick is the highest, right, go back a little bit more, right there. What happened on that day? It tells you everything with the timeline of the story all the way back. So real time, you don't need to be like, well, let me out. What was this one was that boom it'll give all that to you so VT news that AI it's officially out you guys can sign up for the freemium some of you guys can get the Higher version where allows you unlimited amount of questions to ask from the AI the AI
Starting point is 00:16:37 Part is a big cost that we have to make an investment into but we did but we're excited So as I'm going through the podcast you're gonna see we're gonna be using this website a lot because this will be the site we, moving forward, use as our aggregator to get the news when we do our PBD podcast. Okay, so let me read the affirmations to you, Rob, if you can go to it. A couple things I want to read to you here. If you grew up, I once read a story, a book that called The Genius and All of Us, and it gave the most interesting statistic. It said kids from low-income parents, from the day they're born till they're 18 years
Starting point is 00:17:15 old, they had heard negative comments about them, 600,000 more negative comments than positive comments. Oh, wow. Geez. You can't do it, stop, this isn't you, you're not that smart, why do you think it is? You can never do that. That was just five I just gave you. From zero to 18, 600,000 more negative than positive. Then working class was 100,000 more negative than positive,
Starting point is 00:17:41 and then the upper class parents was 100,000 more positive than negative Did that make sense? Yeah, of course. So it's a little bit more like so even working class was less, but it's still more 100,000 more right? Yeah, so eventually when you turn 18 years old, you don't hear a lot of I believe in you You can do it all this other stuff and most of us it takes years to reshape the mindset of daily affirmations At first I thought this was hokey, but at 23 years old I started doing my daily affirmations. If you can zoom in a little bit. This was one of my first ones that I ever put together.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I'm just going to read it to you. You can tell my English spelling is off as well so we can laugh at me a little bit. One of the parts I tell you is hilarious. I must do the most productive thing possible at every given moment. Can you work when no one's watching you? Be grateful and thankful for all the beautiful things that God's given you. Remember where you came from, therefore humble yourself. Greatest revenge of all time is massive success.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Trust God to do the best for you and trust yourself to do the best for Him and His children. Highest form of maturity is when you become independent of others' opinions. That one is probably one of the most important ones a kid, a young child, a son, a daughter, 12, teenager can tell themselves, highest form of maturity is becoming independent of others' opinions. Take responsibility for your actions and don't blame others. I will live this day as if it's my last. What sacrifices are you making right now in order to get closer to your dreams and goals?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Be careful about—this is one of my favorites—be careful what you joke about or be sarcastic about because your spirit will stop having faith in words that come out of your mouth. Rome was not built in one day. I'd rather fail at something I love doing than succeed at something I hate doing. Have you done anything today to grow personally? You have met the enemy at his eye, Alexander the Great. Pain is temporary, quitting is forever, never quit. Get off your ass and get after.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Look at the off. Get off your ass and get after. You better do something about you because no one else will. Is your life balanced? Career, family, spiritual, financial, emotional, physical? And by the way, some of these mindsets have changed over the years. How bad do you want to win in life? If that's how bad you want to win in life, then you have to quit worrying about what
Starting point is 00:19:33 others think of you and you have to get hungry, wanting to get after it. Don't you want to retire? I'm asking myself this question now. By yourself, I was becoming... By the way, this is when I'm $49,000 in debt. I don't have a penny to my name. My expedition just got report. Make the story builders, which is when I'm $49,000 in debt. I don't have a penny to my name. My expedition just got report. Make the story builders, which is the first company I started, the company that made the
Starting point is 00:19:50 biggest difference in the world, become a great example to others who want to model you. Build the best school in the country where the students learn from the best leaders at a young age. Drive your nice Ferrari. Watch this next one year. Go visit your horse stables. Have a bunch of pets at your house and have a beautiful white tiger.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Great family, great spiritual life, many kids and be able to love all your dreams and get up off your ass and get after it. I was 23 when I wrote this. That's amazing. Yeah, everything's on point. You just don't have the white tiger and you were eating Korma Sebzi because it's on the page. I wonder if you wanted to interview Mike Tyson.
Starting point is 00:20:23 He had that tiger for you. Yeah, sick. What was going through your mind when you were writing this down? By the way, I had no idea if this was gonna work or not. But I read so many things that everybody said, the power of positive thinking, Norman Vincent Peel. I read so many things, you know, laws of success, Napoleon Hill, thinking, eventually I said,
Starting point is 00:20:40 you know what's the hell with this? I'm gonna actually write it out. And I wrote it out. I wrote, read this three times a day. That's laminated by the if you look at it That's laminated and this was on my shower wall Every time I'm showering you would hear me talking. I'm not talking I'm reading this Wow and this one on the road with me everywhere I went for some of you watching this good They look like I really I'm intrigued by this because I'll tell you why my mom
Starting point is 00:21:06 Made me do an affirmation my sister and I every day on the way to elementary school Good, so you told a story about how the poor It's minus six hundred thousand negative words, right negative feelings the middle class minus 100,000 and then upper class, a positive amount of 100,000. My family grew up very middle class, lower, lower middle class. But my mom talked about like the power of positive thinking and parenting. And she ever sees this clip, she'd be like, okay, kids, you know, what time it is, is say your affirmation. And my
Starting point is 00:21:41 sister would always do it. And I would always be always be the guy like I don't want to do the affirmation It's so annoying mom and then I realized then my nephew started doing it when My sister eventually had a kid and then he started doing it and then you know what I started doing I started redoing the affirmation I did when I was like ten years old But words have power and it just goes to show the poor the middle the upper class a lot of what your success is started when you were doing this at 23 years old, 20 something years ago. Yeah, it just, it works. You believe it. You start believing in yourself. I think that's the part where, you know, reading works, but it's restating the same thing. They say writing is rewriting, right? Writing is rewriting. You're constantly rewriting what you're writing. I think the re-reminder, re-reminder, re-reminder, re-reminder until you eventually buy into it. God knows how many tens of thousands of times I read this until I believed it. Anyways,
Starting point is 00:22:37 that's just something for you guys to be thinking about who want to change the language of what you're telling yourself, but let's get right into it. Okay, so what story do we want to start off with first? Rob, do you have the Marlon Wayans video of what they said with the family? I think I texted it to you. I don't know if you have it or not. If you don't have it, I'm gonna send this to you, Rob. I just want you to play this.
Starting point is 00:22:59 And we're starting off right off the bat with family. Is this the one, Rob? See if it's the same one that I just texted you. I texted you as well. Okay. Play the one that I specifically sent you. You see this actor, you know these guys, you've done a lot of stuff. I know Marlon. I know the entire family from Damon Waynes to Damon Waynes Jr. is a really good friend and Marlon, I was gonna say, I was gonna wake up after but I've been on the road with the guy. He's brought me under his wing. He let me get stage time all over over He would want me to go up and like he like normally pat when people are like headlining
Starting point is 00:23:29 They don't want the guy before to go up and do anything. He would be like vinnie Go and make them go nuts because it elevates him. He's a great dude I've I've besides just talks and teaching me about life and comedy and the game just at his house and like Just all around amazing dude pat and i've seen his career. I'm sorry with comedy life and comedy and the game just at his house and like just all-around amazing dude Pat and I've seen his career I'm sorry with comedy he's a phenomenal dramatic like I think drama acting is his number one he's ridiculous he was in the movie with the Jordan that we saw he was at the bar he was an air he was an air at the bar he played the right he was the guy that ended up having the I
Starting point is 00:24:02 have a dream no no he's not the I have a dream is he the guy that ended up having the I have a dream. No, no, he's not the I have a dream It's either guy that I have a dream speech. No, no people. No, no. No. Oh, hey, it might have been Yeah, he was in the movie air He's a phenomenal dramatic actor, but his stand-up was it was okay Whatever is happening in his life family, you know the passing of his of his family members He's here now and it's amazing to see him. I saw him last time in Miami a couple months ago. So watch this, he's talking here about the importance of a father.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Go ahead and play the clip, Rob. Something that a lot of people on my block didn't have. I had a mother that cared for us and I had a father. The importance of a father, a man that is there. And when my father died, he said, if you ever want to know me, get to know my father. Whenever you miss me, I'm in that book right there. So sometimes at night when I can't sleep
Starting point is 00:24:53 because my daddy gone, I picked that book up and those words screamed to me as my father talking to me. My daddy, Howard Wayans was a man. So much so that my daddy raised kings. You know, we are successful because we was raised right. We had a mother that loved us and a father that protected us and respected. And we had something to answer to besides them.
Starting point is 00:25:11 God, my parents did a great job. How do you get all these successful children? Because my daddy taught me a scripture in the Bible. Honor thy mother and father for thy days on this earth will be long. The scripture is just about being grateful and honoring. I honor my parents now with my walk as a father I honor them. I I take care of my kids. I'm a man. I am a man
Starting point is 00:25:29 My brother's a man my father raised good men. I had something What a man man strong he is Marlon such a freaking great guy man That it's home because when he lost his mom and dad man, I was It hurt it hurt yeah the um that message right there about the father message and the responsibility you know you you sometimes you don't know right when you're in it i'm a byproduct of a father that, you know, challenged me, pushed me, encouraged me, was there, expected certain values and didn't have any money to offer. That nothing more than just loving, want to see the son do better than that. But when
Starting point is 00:26:14 you hear a message like that, you realize the power fathers have. Anybody watching this, if you're somebody that's a father, you got kids, you're like, I want to go out there and make money. I want to go out there and do this. I want to go out there. You ought to do that because that's the example you got to set to them, you got kids, you're like, I wanna go out there and make money, I wanna go out there and do this, I wanna go out there. You oughta do that, because that's the example you gotta set to them. They gotta see you being in the grind and getting after it. But at the same time, the amount of positive impact you can have on your kids,
Starting point is 00:26:34 you can raise future kings and leaders to make the world a better place, a safer place, and you see it right there. Tom, what's your reaction when you saw what you had to say there? It's powerful and it's truth. And you know, I wish more people kind of, you know, understood this, who are not supporting, you know, moms and dads. We've got this breakdown of the family going on, and then you see something like that,
Starting point is 00:26:57 and you say, wow, that is powerful, that is it. Why don't you go upstream and say, why in society aren't we doing more to help that? Yeah. Why are we doing more to support that? Why are, you know, what's going on? And he's so right. And we get all worked up about it. But then we walk away from it and say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you know, we got to be doing something about it right now, right today. Well, we've seen, we've done multiple episodes content on the breakdown of the nuclear family
Starting point is 00:27:23 and basically what's going on in America and how the single parent households has skyrocketed since the LBJ administration, since the Great Society, right? And I think what the average, uh, prior to 1950, I want to say that I think only 5% of kids were born out of wedlock. And it's at this point, I want to say 40% overall national average to 41%. Okay. There it is. And then I think 70% of black households, single mothers, I want to say 60% of Hispanic households, 40 something percent of white. It's a deterioration of the, of the nuclear family. Here are the numbers right here. Children born out of the wedlock,
Starting point is 00:28:03 United States has increased from 5% to 40% over the last 50 years. 5% in 1950s, 2020. Now 40% were born on my birth. So listen, it takes sometimes just a speech like this to resonate with men and women to understand the importance of family. By the way, you know, this family right here, I don't know the father that he was speaking about, but you say all the time, you know, you're not going to know how you did as a father or as a parent until you, the, the grandkids show up. You've, you've seen this. Look, I grew up watching the Wayne's brothers. And if you don't know, like, you've seen the white chicks, you've seen the movies in the 1990s in living color
Starting point is 00:28:43 was a breakthrough TV show sitcom. It was like SNL with no black bar. But the one famous white guy was Jim Carey Jim Carey was ridiculous launched his career. Keenan ivory Wayans Damon James, Shawn Marlin, they went on to Wayne's brothers, the whole family. I think there's Kim Wayne's and all the children, your friends with the junior. So this family is Hollywood royalty and you can tell that it start with great parenting at the top. So shout out to the Wayans. By the way, I'll say one thing and then we'll move on to the next story.
Starting point is 00:29:17 So at the vault, I told the Rock which video I've watched the most of, which was the video of him giving the eulogy to his father, right? And I said, you know, I'm watching you while you're giving it. Tell me what are you thinking? I don't know if you remember what he said. He said, he said, it's, it's interesting because three weeks prior to that, my dad and I had the worst fight, one of our worst fights ever.
Starting point is 00:29:40 And we did not speak. He said, when he died, he says, I just wish I was there to have that one additional conversation with my dad. I just wish I was there. How is it now for you? He says, listen, with God, with faith and everything, I'm good, a lot of times a lot of things
Starting point is 00:29:56 that happened in my life. I mean, this is like, his father told him, don't get into wrestling. He got into wrestling. He followed his father's footsteps to be a wrestler and takes it to what level? 600 million followers, whatever he does. But this is a two-part message, okay?
Starting point is 00:30:12 One part is from the son up and the other part is from the father down, right? From the son up, best advice Dudley gave me, he said every father and son go through three phases of relationships, right? You first idolize your father, then you demonize them, and eventually you hope to humanize them, right?
Starting point is 00:30:31 It's not an easy thing to do for a father and son. But the father down is, man, you dictate the future of the world based on how you raise these boys, the family, your girls, how you shape their mindset, what you feed into them, the confidence you give them. And when I saw this video of Marlon Waynes, I'm like, you know what? I just, I think the world has to see this. That's why I want to show that clip here today to you guys.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Can I say one thing about The Rock real quick? Yeah. And that was the interview you did with The Rock, in my opinion, and many people's opinion, the best part of the entire interview knows that he kept it super Real about his dad and it resonated with me because same thing happened with my dad when my dad passed away We were not speaking very contentious relationship, but what I liked about what the rock said was Despite all the challenges that they had the up-and-down relationship. Do you know what he said? His most important job is being a father because when you asked him
Starting point is 00:31:27 Hey, do you see yourself have plans for running? For the presidency he said, you know, I'm not there right now because my number one job is being a dad So it's important and he's a girl dad. I believe yeah, that's two or three. Was it three Pat three kids Yeah, he's got three girls. He's got three girls one older one and he's got two little ones But you can tell he loves being a dad Okay. All right. So next story here. We haven't reacted to this So, you know, this is a story that happened last we were in the middle of the event Conservative influencers linked to Russian disinformation scheme Rob. Do you have any video clips on this or no? I guess I have two clips
Starting point is 00:32:00 I have Sebastian Gorka talking about the woman that's accused in this propaganda scheme Lauren Chen is her name about Lauren Chen reaching out to Sebastian Gorka. And then what's the other one you got? And then the other is a warning from Dan Bongino. Okay, we'll play both. Let me just read this clip while you can find the clips. So federal officials have indicted two employees of the Kremlin backed Russia, it's RT, I think it's Russia TV or Russia News for allegedly orchestrating a $10 million covert project that misled conservative influencers into creating video aligned with Russian interests.
Starting point is 00:32:32 The indictment details how RT employs Konstantin Klyashnikov and Elena Afanasieva, real Russian last time, directed funds to a Tennessee-based media company believed to be Tenet Media, which employed high-profile figures like Tim Pull and Benny Johnson. Influencers were reportedly unaware of the Russian backing and were misinformed about the sources of funding, which was falsely attributed to a fictitious private investor. Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized that the company's ties to RT and Russian government were never disclosed to the influencers or their audiences. This case is seen as part of a broader Russian campaign to influence the upcoming US presidential
Starting point is 00:33:12 election. The media company has not publicly commented on their allegations. Go ahead, Rob, play this clip. But I'd be remiss as a former federal agent to not warn people that given these accusations Are other people I'm not accusing anyone specifically I want to be clear Are people working with the feds right now To try to ensnare other conservative influencers into this alleged, alleged operation. I'm just going to say this, be very careful who you're emailing and be very careful who
Starting point is 00:33:57 you're talking to and be very careful that you're not talking to someone working with the feds on the other end of the line. That's pretty scary. If you think about it, Pat, that's pretty wild that anything, the fact that it's going back to Russia, this whole thing from Trump started in 2016 with Russia collusion and now again towards the end we're starting the Russia talking again and who knows at that point like, here's my question though, what was she trying to help promote to what make Russia look positive in a positive light is that what they were trying to do yeah so I mean if you want
Starting point is 00:34:31 to play this clip here for Sebastian because he's taking a complete different position than the one Dan took I think okay go for it approached me about 18 months ago and said I've been asked to hire content providers Commentators with big platforms would you join us? I thought Well, maybe What's the deal you're offering and? Where's the money coming from? Kind of kind of standard question you should ask Jeff right if you're gonna work for somebody You should know who's running the company and where the money is coming from
Starting point is 00:35:06 Right typically you would do that. Especially if it's a startup Well, yeah, I mean cuz you don't be working for bad guys or people who are gonna run out of money, correct? Exactly. I mean you're a businessman you understand this stuff. Yes, and there's another part of it I really don't understand too. But go ahead. We'll get we'll get to that in a second And I kept asking her so so who's behind this? And she wouldn't tell me. And then she gave me three names. Two of them had zero, and I mean zero connection to media,
Starting point is 00:35:39 none at all. And I thought, well, that's weird. You want to create a new media company and you have no background in media? And then the name of the chief investor was Edward Grigorian, spelled with two Ns, which is kind of sloppy tradecraft, Mr. Putin, because with that spelling,
Starting point is 00:36:04 I Googled the name. No such person exists with that spelling. Huh. If you're creating a legend, it's better to create a legend with the name of, oh, I don't know, John Smith. Lots of John Smiths. You can engineer all kinds of fabrications, but with a very unusual name. Not a lot of Sebastian Gorkas out there. Don't use my name and try to pretend you're me, because people can call me up and verify, are you creating a media company? No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Oh, well that's a little- So is Lauren Chenz the girl that was here? She was here, yeah. She was here. It was the day we talked about Sound of Freedom and the clip got seven million views. Wow, that's the day when she was on Yes, she said she didn't want to watch it because she was a newborn Yeah, she had not watched it. She was approached Pat and then she was basically pitching for them to try to get Rob
Starting point is 00:36:55 This is what this is CNN. Yes. Okay. So let's see what CNN's positions on this the OJ ledges Let me read the top the OJ alleges Russia fund a US media company linked to right-wing social media stars So they have whose face they have Rubin they have Benny and they have Tim. Okay, keep going lower The unnamed tennis race coming to the edges of being funded was on the Kremlin. Okay. Got it. Ten million dollars. Got it Sienna's independently confirmed that company one ten and comes platform independent content creators of what's got their Jones company Got it the alleged Russia operation taped two people, is that tapped or taped? Tapped two people to set up the company, the names of, to add its legitimacy, and two founders
Starting point is 00:37:32 were aware Russia money backed operations. So the founders knew, okay, does that mean the talent knew? I don't think the talent knew. The goal of the operation, according to prosecutors, was to fuel pro-Russia narratives in part by pushing content and news articles to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and others who Kremlin deemed okay. Among the commentators, Tenet media personalities, Benidib Webre, and Dad, all have released statements saying that they were victims of the alleged Russian scheme and they maintained
Starting point is 00:37:57 editorial content over what they created. Each has a loyal fan base with combined roughly six million followers. Wednesday indictment, the indictment outlines how one of the social media stars was approached by Tenet Media Founder with an offer of $2 million a year to make videos for the company. One of the founders later wrote, it would need to be closer to $5 million yearly to be interested according to the indictment. The social media star expressed some skepticism about who was funding the idea. Eventually, the social media star agreed on a contract of $400,000 monthly fee.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Wow. Four weekly videos at $100,000, or $700,000 assignment. That's $100,000 a video. The only money you make from YouTube, if it gets a million views, it's six to $8,000. And that's if it gets a million views, right? And most of them don't.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Tenant Media, US founder, are not named in the indictment, but business records of Tennessee reveal two people connected to the company. One is generally in Donovan, a Twitter account for Donovan, that's why his identity is on Tenant Media. So those two are linked. The account describes Donovan as Chen's husband. Okay, I didn't know that. A private message between the two, May 2021, reads, so we're billing the Russian from the
Starting point is 00:39:02 corporation, right? Okay, so then they knew. Two weeks later, another message said, also the Russians paid, so we're billing the Russian from the corporation, right? Okay, so then they knew. Two weeks later another message said, also the Russians paid so we're good to bill them the next month I guess. Chen is a right-wing media influencer. She appeared on some Tenement Media videos and has more than 500,000 subscribers. The Russia Control, as of Thursday afternoon, Turning Point USA has deleted webpages featuring Chen.
Starting point is 00:39:22 I didn't know that. A YouTube video referenced the indictment further described it as a project that Lauren Chen and her husband, Blaise Mini on Thursday said it fired Chen. Blaise a subset of Glenn Beck, founder of Conservate Outlaws, taken out a page of previously promoted content Chen produced, including her show Pseudo-Intellectual. Lauren Chen was an independent contractor who's, ah, this is not good for them. YouTube has removed tenant channel. Oh wow, associated with channel YouTube spokesman.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Following indictment from US Department of Justice after careful review. I was reading this Lauren Chen pardon ongoing. The company's investigation into the matter is ongoing. Neither channel, okay. Tom, what do you know about the story? What else do you think or know about the story? So I've been diving into this.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Oh wait, Poole said something. Let me just read the last one. Poole, keep going down. Should these allegations prove true, I will as the other personalities and commentators But wait, Poole said something. Let me just read the last one of Poole. Keep going down. Should these allegations prove true, I well as the other personalities and commentators were deceived and are victims. The show is produced in its entirety by our local team with input da-da-da-da-da. Got it.
Starting point is 00:40:16 And then Ruben said those allegations clearly show that I and other commentators were the victims of the scheme. I know absolutely nothing about any of this fraudulent activity period. The DOJ has never contacted me regarding the matter and I have no intentions to comment further. Is there any other quotes at the bottom? Boom, boom, boom. No, go ahead, Tom.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Tom Hanks So there's a couple of things here, and I've been diving into this and I was looking at it and I was kind of stunned because we've just come from a decade in financial services, PBD, and we have to sit through compliance and we have to sit through a thing that's connected to the Patriot Act. And if you bought a house or got a mortgage, you have to fill out forms that are related to KYC. Know your customer.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Because there's a lot of laundering that happens. Like people will throw money into annuity, and then they withdraw the annuity, accept the 15% fee they have to pay, but now the 85% of the money has been laundered effectively. So when someone comes to you, so with that in the back of my head, I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:41:12 why weren't people asking two questions, simple two questions? Why are these guys knocking on our door, or this woman, willing to pay 18 times the CPM, you know, the normal ad rate. It's like somebody walks up to your gas station and says, Hey Vinny, gas across the street is $3 a gallon, right? 18 times. So 30, I'll pay you $54 a gallon sold.
Starting point is 00:41:39 You would say yes, but then you would say, why do you want to pay $54 a gallon for gas? Well, do you want to put an four dollars a gallon for gas well? Do you want to put an ad on my podcast? I could you what are you selling you selling camping gear? Do you want to put a you want me to do a read for your camping gear get Vinnie's camping gear? And you know is that what you want to do no we want you to make some videos for us That would be red flag number two wait a minute wait a minute You don't just want me to read or you don't have an ad you want to run, you actually want me to make content for you. Well, I'm not really a content studio, sir. I don't make custom programming for companies. I have my podcast. And they said, No, well, it's just a couple of videos. Go ahead and do it. And then people do it. Those two flags to me, I think are, it's tough to say, oh, I didn't know anything about this about this I think some people can say that they didn't know anything about it But wouldn't it be kind of odd that somebody is paying so much more For an ad and then asking you to make content rather than just running some
Starting point is 00:42:35 You know some pre rolls or do a read for their product. Those are the two flags I see I believe the influencers that say we didn't know it was connected to Russians I believe them, but you got to sit there and say, you know, somebody knocked on your door and doing that. Isn't that kind of crazy? And then my last point, Bongino is right. If something's too good to be true, you better ask questions about it because we have witnessed the weaponization of our Justice Department. We have witnessed a season of dirty tricks and we have witnessed what PBD correctly called last year, the year of investigations. So why would you expose yourself to be any of that if you know you're a right wing voice and you know that there's people
Starting point is 00:43:13 would love to see you stumble? Yeah. And especially, I mean, the majority of them are pro Trump supporters. You would think like you would really think about it because right now, Tom, how is this going to affect maybe an election? Cause that's technically that's like election interference. If you think about it, they're spreading misinformation for Russia. I'm actually curious, Rob, was there anything like what videos did Tim Poole put out? Is there anything that specifically connects him, PBT, where he's on his show? Like if you go to X and put Tim Poole, Russia, is there anything that he said that you would
Starting point is 00:43:42 say like, see, what is that? What's the first one that comes up? Ukraine is the enemy of this country. He didn't know he was working for a company that took 10. So he, so they're saying that videos that he's making in the past pretty much sound like Russia was behind like maybe influencing talk like that clip. Can you play around? But I don't know that it matters anymore. This is psychotic. Ukraine is the enemy of this country. Ukraine is our enemy. Being funded by the Democrats, I will stress again, one of the greatest enemies of our nation right now is Ukraine. They are expanding this war. Now don't get me wrong, I know. You've got criminal elements of the US government pushing them and guiding them and telling them what to do. Ukraine is now accused, a German warrant issued for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, triggering this conflict.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Ukraine is the greatest threat to this nation and to the world. We should rescind all funding and financing, pull out all military support, and we should apologize to Russia. Oh, wow. I mean, and I just randomly told him to do that. But now, you know what sucks about the situation? People like me, my opinion with the fund, like the amount of money that we sent to Ukraine is ridiculous. But when you hear something like that, now it's like, wait a minute, did he know? Like, was this money in the bank? Yeah, I don't want to, you know, I don't know where that comes from. That could have been Tim pool doing an honest news report, you know, take giving his take on it and being that's really the way he felt.
Starting point is 00:45:12 But when you put these two things together, it opens to unfortunately for a lot of people to say, Hey, what's going on here? And again, I'm not levering, you know, an indictment here. Adam, what's your thoughts? Well, you know, those sometimes you see in the newspapers or on TV and they say, you know, breaking news. And then at the end, we'll say, this is an ongoing story. Details still more to come.
Starting point is 00:45:33 I want to see what the details still more to come. What we know the facts are from what I can establish is that Lauren Chen, who we've known, she sat here, she's been on the show. We saw her last. Lauren Chen, who we've known, she sat here. She sat here. She's been on the show. We saw her last last time I saw her. She was at the Amfest that Charlie Kirk does out there in America Fest turning point event that he did in Arizona. She was there.
Starting point is 00:45:56 She just had another baby. Her husband, Liam Donovan, his name, I guess, was apparently the allegedly the president of this tenant media. So he was apparently the allegedly the president of this tenant media. So he was sort of the liaison with all this. What I found interesting was they said there was a message from May of 2021 in that article. So meaning this is this has been over three and a half years that they've been doing this investigation, I would assume, or at least going back that far.
Starting point is 00:46:23 So I don't know anything about what Benny did or what Rubin did or what Tim pool did. Let them speak for themselves. This is just, you know, 2016 all over again, Russia, Russia, Russia. What's going on here? So yeah, a lot of more questions. But from reading what Pat just read, she and her husband were messaging on X saying, hey, the Russians with the money. It's like, wait, what? Like people don't even cover the, like you gotta cover your tracks if you're gonna be that person. Yeah. So a couple things on some like this. Just a few months, this is for us and that not everybody can do this. And I'm not saying you should do this. I'm just telling you, this is what we chose to do. Just a few months ago, we cut out all our sponsorships except for a couple sponsorships
Starting point is 00:47:11 that we do and those are the ones we approached. We said we have a relationship, we feel we can promote this. I announced one of them at the vault, which is a big deal. I'll announce it here soon as well because we're going to be going to Italy to do certain things with them, etc. But I noticed when you take money from sponsorships, you have to be a little bit careful when you take your money from sponsorships. A few years ago, this happened twice, guys.
Starting point is 00:47:37 First time I get an email from this media company in New York, says there's a, the richest man in China wants to invite you for a fundraiser. You remember 2020, 2020, you were there when we had to get there and then you had to fly and then you had to make the donation. So he says the, the, the sky right here, that guy right there, John, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, song song, whatever that is, that person right there is doing an event in China and you're invited to it and they want to give you, I don't know what the number was at the time. It was like a quarter million dollars and then they're going to gift you another quarter million dollars that you're going to donate.
Starting point is 00:48:17 So they're going to give me a half a million dollars, okay, of which I keep a half a million, of which to 250 I donate to the charity. And they say they want to recognize you in front of everybody and they want you to be over here and da da da da da. Right? In China. So then we do Zoom. And we do Zoom to just kind of learn from what this and the representative, the publicist
Starting point is 00:48:39 of the company were both Asian girls. And two times this happened. One time it was about this person. This one was a million dollars. The other one was $600,000 two times this happened. One time it was about this person, this one was a million dollars, the other one was $600,000 give or take, and I'm like, yeah, no, okay? And you know, but here's the thing, what if the average person that's like $600,000,
Starting point is 00:48:58 you kidding me? You're gonna give me $300,000, pay for my flight, put me in a hotel, take me to the best restaurants, and all I have to do this The majority people I'm in you're tempted we have to be very careful with that second thing The market is it's so interesting today And you know everyone's gonna mess up at some point They have to be also very careful with who you align yourself up with you can have people that you're on your show You're having conversations all this other stuff, but
Starting point is 00:49:26 actual business partnership with certain people, you have to be very, very meticulous, careful, detailed, all of that. Now, Tim Pool is a talent. Dave Rubin is a talent. Lauren Schent, very attractive, well-spoken, seems sharp. Maybe they needed the money. I don't know. and then you're putting this an email exchange So you're you're you're incriminating yourself You are a part of it based on some of the stuff that you've done But it's a very slippery this game by the way this this will be a non story in about two weeks Everybody will move on okay
Starting point is 00:49:58 That's how the new cycle works there when you're in it and you're them you think this is the end of your career Whatever whatever in two and you're them, you think this is the end of your career, whatever, whatever. In two weeks, you move on. Now, Lauren, this will forever be tagged. For sure. This is staying with you, okay? You're going to have to answer and explain yourself and maybe even take on the position of, yeah, we made a mistake and da-da-da-da-da, and move on and Mark may forgive you eventually.
Starting point is 00:50:21 But the other big guys that are out there, the bigger you get, the more you're going to get targeted by interesting people. You have to be super, super careful who you take money from. They're right when they say, I don't know where the money came from, all this other stuff, but when someone's giving you 100K a week or an episode, you can't look the other way. You have to go a little bit deeper to say, hey, what's the reasoning behind this? That's the only thing I'm saying. You got to do a little
Starting point is 00:50:49 bit more research when you're going through that, but we'll see what happens. Dan had a very, very good point on what he was talking about. While we're on it, Candace Owen suspended from YouTube over Kanye West's interview. This is, which story are we reading from here Rob? That's the MediEyed story. She blames Zionists, says MediEyed. Let's see what they're saying here. All right. So, Candace Owens announced she was suspended from YouTube for a week after interview with Kanye West, which YouTube removed for violating hate speech policies by promoting anti-Semitic
Starting point is 00:51:18 claims specifically that Jewish people control the media. Owens blamed the suspension of Zionists, stating their tactics never changed. Owens revealed that YouTube also demonetized her account, which has 2.4 million followers and received three back-to-back-to-back content hits within minutes. She asserted, we all know who exactly is behind this and why again appear to blame the Zionists. Owens has a history of controversial statements, including those Nick Fuentes praising criticism Jews and Biden's administration claiming that allies cause more damage than the Nazis during World War Two. Tom thoughts on the story.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Well you know you got to be so careful these days and you know here she goes she's got an opinion she interviews Kanye West and she is claiming that almost immediately and we just look at what she said almost immediately there were hits and complaints that came I think she she called it a farm and whenever you say farm in the internet it means like you've got a large group of people that are coordinating at once to complain or to to ratio something you know, it's a big wave. And so she's saying that as soon as I did this, I got this huge wave and the wave picked
Starting point is 00:52:31 on three parts of it and it triggered YouTube review and I got back to back, one, two, three, and then they said you're demonetized. And so, you know, what's interesting is we have free speech, but there's corners of our free speech that are very, very delicate. And we have to be careful with it. And it doesn't mean we change our viewpoints. It doesn't mean that we go vanilla and just agree with everything.
Starting point is 00:52:58 But there's two things here. One is free speech, and the other is that she's stepping on something and there's a group of people out there. They're getting very upset and apparently wielded some influence and YouTube then decides, well, wait a minute, YouTube, are you a publisher or are you a platform? And this is the classic thing about the FCC guideline. And YouTube comes back and says, nope, you got
Starting point is 00:53:25 three strikes immediately and you're demonetized. And so many, what are your thoughts? Well, we, me and Rob today tried to even look at the interview for the Kanye one, couldn't find it. Rob, it's still, I mean, there's, it's nowhere to be found. By the way, that's a good question. Is it still on Spotify? That's a very good question.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Because I actually, cause I, listen, you know how I feel. I adore Candace, but I honestly didn't see one second of it. I don't know what's happening, but to rewind, I mean, Kanye isn't even allowed to like the last time Kanye was on YouTube, wasn't he take anything that was said. I did, I did a spoof on Kanye's interview and I got taken down. Is it on there? I don't, I don't think I can even find her channel. So it's like, like, and again, like Tom said, back to back to back to back. It's what's, by the way, even having Kanye on, like that's almost I'm shocked that it didn't happen that first time. But all it takes is for people to go on there and say, this bothers me.
Starting point is 00:54:16 This bothers me. This bothers me. And I mean, YouTube is pretty lenient towards the person complaining instead of the content creator. Rob, did you find the Kanye on Spotify? Because that's very important. I'm still looking. Spotify, podcast, Candace, what's the show called? What is it actually called? Her channel is called Candace. Okay, so if I go to Candace on Spotify. The Michael Jackson piece is still up. No, I'm trying to see. There's Kanye right there. Zoom in. Scroll up, scroll up, scroll up a little more. A little more, a little trying to see is it. There's Kanye right there. Zoom in. Scroll up, scroll up, scroll up. Lamar Lamar Lamar Lamar.
Starting point is 00:54:48 There you go. What was this? October 17th, 2022. Oh, put it out on August 7th of this year. So it was uploaded on August 7th, but it is still live. So on. So this is an older one that she would go back to it on what it says. Zoom in a little bit on October 17th. You sat down with me for an interview on my house now that I have my own platform oh so meaning a daily wire they didn't want to do it now they do
Starting point is 00:55:12 want to do it and then so Spotify keeps it on the YouTube takes it down and gives a strike that's what I'm saying so Spotify is cool with so my I'm just curious is are their terms and conditions the same as Spotify that's this is the part that I'm not a fan of this, man. Listen, have the conversation, let them have the conversation and let them see what it's about and other people will either agree, tear it apart, argument leads to more conversation and dialogue. As long as there is no inciting violence as somebody's doing, why is Spotify comfortable
Starting point is 00:55:45 keeping it on and YouTube is not comfortable keeping it on? That's what's weird to me. So this is why Spotify has won in the last four years and why they were able to get Joe Rogan to re-up. And look how confident Spotify is where Spotify is like, Joe, not only will we re-up, upload everything you want on YouTube as well. We don't have problem with that. And we'll pay you $50 million more than we gave you two and a half, three years ago.
Starting point is 00:56:10 And during the transition, they defended Joe Rogan and left some of his content up while other people were taking down certain episodes. Now the difference is, YouTube is based out of US headquarters, Google, right? You got Silicon Valley. And Spotify is headquartered out of what? Where is Spotify's headquarters? I think it's in Sweden. Thatvonne Perret That's right. Adam Ligato Oh really?
Starting point is 00:56:26 Yvonne Perret Daniel Ek has nothing to do with the states. Adam Ligato Oh, okay. Yvonne Perret So they're in a different place. Adam, what are your thoughts about this? Adam Ligato Well, I think first and foremost, the most important thing to say by far is that I believe in free speech. And I think that's something that should be established whether you agree with it or disagree with it, right?
Starting point is 00:56:43 The price you pay for free free speech is free speech. Now that doesn't mean that I appreciate or enjoy or agree or disagree with everything that Candace says or that anyone says for that matter. Uh, it would be very easy for me at this point as a Jewish content creator to try to dunk on Candace Owens. I told you this Candace truth be told actually like Candace. We've had good times together. We've done content together. She's actually an enjoyable person. So what I want to do is separate the person from the personality or the art from the artist
Starting point is 00:57:17 as they say, or from the person from the problem. In my humble opinion, since her very ugly breakup with Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire, her entire agenda has been basically going to battle with the quote unquote the Zionists. And I just think my question to her is, where do you want to go with all this? Because you know, the whole thing where, you know, the Zionists did it, the Jews control the media. Well, certain Jews control certain media companies. The way that I look at it is money and success is energy. Where do you put your energy?
Starting point is 00:57:57 And if you put your energy into something, you'll end up doing well in something. So the blacks control the NBA. No, they're just really good at playing basketball and they're doing really well at that. Awesome. You know, Indians control all the 7-11. It's like, no, they are entrepreneurs who end up finding a niche that they can excel in. Why aren't Jews dominating the NFL? That's just not kind of how they're built. They've developed skills, especially Ashkenazi Jews, that has translated well over time into media, banking, creativity, what have you. Go do your research as to why.
Starting point is 00:58:39 You can go back thousands of years to the beginning of banking and the Rothschild family and usury and all that. So I'm not a fan of these racist all, all or nothing tropes. Well, it's all this. So the biggest thing with Candace is that more than anyone, she should understand how the concept of groupthink. She was the poster child for being a black female to say, yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:06 I'm not just going to do lockstep with the Democratic Party. I'm an independent thinker. I'm going to do my own thing. That cuts across all races, ideology, what have you. Not all Jews do this. Not all blacks do this. Not all Indians do this. So she's falling into a very negative trap where she's just playing the blame game. And I want to see how ugly this can get for her. And I hope it doesn't get even uglier. By the way, here's how life works. In life, you know, you have to choose certain swords you're willing to die on. And great. If that's your sword, guess what? Respect, go for it. Go all the way to the end. If that's what you're willing to do and it's worth all of it for
Starting point is 00:59:48 you. That's one. Two, regardless of it all, if there's no inciting violence, if there's none of that stuff taking place, what's wrong with leaving it on? By the way, just yesterday, just so you guys know, just yesterday, Kanye posted something on his Instagram account. He hasn't for the longest time, but he did yesterday, okay? On his Instagram account.
Starting point is 01:00:06 You want to know how many likes it got? It got 1.7 million likes, okay? It got 19.3 million views. So guess what? Who the hell is listening to this 19.3 million views, 1.7 million likes? The guy is still loved as an artist. He's still liked as an artist. People still want to hear him out.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Artists have always had some creative stuff that they've said. Even back in the days when Michael Jackson had the one song, all I want to say is that they don't really care about us. All the stuff that he says and they told him to take those two lines out. You got to take that out. You can't put that in there artists all our artists have always Been been a little bit You know create them in their own ways But again, there is risk with that Adidas doesn't have to do business with you
Starting point is 01:00:54 They can choose not to do business with you So if the hill you want to die on is you're okay with losing a few billion dollars That was gonna go to your kids and that's go no problem If for you is these guys behind closed doors make your life a living kill that you was gonna go to your kids, and that's, no problem. If for you, is these guys behind closed doors, make your life a living hell, that you wanna go after them, no problem. Do your thing. If Candace is going, no problem, go do your thing.
Starting point is 01:01:12 However, there's also one other thing to be thinking about. This is it, this is all I'll say on this part, is we're at the vault conference. You remember, were you in the CO session, or were you talking to the girls? So we're at the CO session where you were talking to the girls so At the CEO session this one guy This one guy comes up. I don't know if you remember or not this guy comes up and he's got a big YouTube channel I won't say his name because he knows who he is and he says here's what I want to do and da da da da
Starting point is 01:01:39 And here's what I'm worried about. What are you worried about? Censorship being canceled. I said, okay, can you do me? So I said how many strikes do you have so I do what if this happens? I said, okay I mean, I think he said he just got a strike or something like that. I said how many strikes you think we've gotten With value timid and puberty podcasts. He says I don't know none. I think he said that again I don't remember that context. I said Mario Mario just had a wonderful session backstage it was very peaceful and meaningful so Mario comes up right and Mario comes up I said Mario how many strikes have we gotten in the last 10 years you know Mario says 15 what did his words you were in the room
Starting point is 01:02:19 I was there 15 to 20 by the way for those watching we've gotten 15 to 20 strikes by the way two times our YouTube've gotten 15 to 20 strikes by the way Two times our YouTube channel got to two strikes. You know what three strikes is you're out Many times PBD podcast we couldn't do podcast for a week or two weeks because we couldn't go live You know if you get two strikes you can't do a live podcast Hmm, okay, they don't trust you no no that's the YouTube guideline, okay? I think it's one strike or it used to be two strikes. If you have two strikes pending within 90 days, you can't do a live.
Starting point is 01:02:49 If you get three strikes within a 90 day period, they deplatform you. Two strikes, you're on probation and you lose your privilege to be alive. So for us, we probably have a lot more strikes than a lot of people think. We just went through it. We went through it so many times that Mario would dispute it and we'd go back and forth and all this other stuff. There is ways to deliver messages where you can express your conviction where you're at and still give the information of what you think is going on and let the audience decide
Starting point is 01:03:20 on what they're doing. If you want to have the pride of, I got the platform, I got this, I got that, I'm going to Rumble, I'm going to this place, that's also okay. That is a marketing method. You know, there's guys that have bragging, six times canceled on Twitter, five times, you know, the platform off YouTube. I got three strikes and out and I'm on Rumble now. This is why Rumble is the best platform. That's capitalism. If you don't want to get the strikes, go to Rumble now, this is why Rumble's the best platform. That's capitalism. If you don't want to get the strikes, go to Rumble. Go to these different platforms and let it rip. And then Rumble is eventually going to have to sit there and say, hey, you're publicly
Starting point is 01:03:54 traded, your stock's got to make some money, you've got to get some sponsorship. I'm not making any money on Rumble, I was making more money on YouTube. And then Chris has got to figure that part out. This is how capitalism works, because at the end of the day, nobody's doing all of this stuff for free. You're trying to feed who? Your family. So guess what?
Starting point is 01:04:11 Now it's kind of like, dude, now that you're not creating content, now what happens with the money part? So I don't know. I think it's hard to, again, if you say, I don't give a... Well, hell I'm willing to die on. There is no conversation and debate. No problem, bro. Go for it. Light it up. If you say, I don't give a... Da-da-da-da-da, it's my... Hell, I'm willing to die on... There is no conversation and debate. No problem, bro.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Go for it. Light it up. Do your thing if that's what you want to do. But at the same time, I think it's absolutely dumb that YouTube took that interview down. Let people watch it. Let people see it. Let people see what the conversation was about. What is wrong with art as long as it is not inciting violence. As long as it's not that I'm not from a place
Starting point is 01:04:52 of saying that community shouldn't exist, that people should be this. I am zero tolerance for that. I'm Armenian. I had a guy yesterday on the podcast, his name is Douglas Murray. We had a very good conversation together and it got awkward multiple times. I think the audience can enjoy it. You know, it's one of the questions I asked him. I asked him a question. I said, so, you know, about the Armenian genocide, you know, and 34 countries have recognized it as a genocide that happened. I said, the Holocaust, a hundred plus countries have recognized that it happened, including Germans, reparations, all this stuff. Why hasn't Israel
Starting point is 01:05:28 recognized the Armenian Genocide? There's nothing wrong with asking that question and then maybe Israel can answer that and say maybe it's this, maybe that, says maybe it's the partnership with Turkey. I said Turkey, here's what Turkey just said by the way, let's transition into that story. So Turkey comes out and says what? Turkey comes out and says, what page is that on by the way? Let me see, do we have the Turkey story? Yeah, what Erdogan, I think it's on page five. Erdogan seeks-
Starting point is 01:05:55 You sure you don't wanna go to the Senator part? No, let's go to the Erdogan story, there you go. Erdogan seeks Islamic alliance against Israel, says its expansionism won't stop in Gaza. Okay, so let's go through this here. Turkish President Erdogan urged for an alliance of Islamic countries to counter Israel's expansionism, claiming Israel will not stop in Gaza and could target other nations, saying the turn will come for Lebanon, Syria and a homeland between the Tikris and Euphrates.
Starting point is 01:06:29 He emphasized Hamas resists on behalf of Muslims and is defending Islamic lands. Turkey Erdogan made these comments following the reported killing of a Turkish-American woman by Israeli troops during a West Bank protest. Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded, calling Erdogan's claims a dangerous lie and indictment adding Erdogan continues to throw the Turkish people into the fire of hatred and violence for the sake of his Hamas friends. So this is Erdogan for you, right? They're not sitting there saying, hey, Israel, let's have an alliance.
Starting point is 01:07:01 They're not sitting there. You think Erdogan is waking up in the morning wanting to find ways to help support Israel more? I don't think so. Adam, what are your thoughts on Erdogan's story? Well, I did remember that part of the interview yesterday with Douglas Murray. It did get a little weird. It did get a little awkward. So I'll say a few things. Number one, let's address the whole Israel expansionism and the Islamic world uniting against Israel. Just, you know, and be completely unbiased if you possibly can. Rob, do me one favor. Just pull up map of the Middle East and maybe Google Muslim countries Middle East, Arab countries Middle East, just speaking of expansionism,
Starting point is 01:07:40 and just go to images. Images. So yeah, just any good old map of the Middle East anywhere. So that's one. And there's more. I'm sure you can find more because there's North Africa. You do better, Rob. Come on, give me something better to work with here. There we go. Now we're talking about that's the Muslim world. You want to talk expansionism. They're doing great. The Arab nations in the world, all the brown area, that's Mazekin expansionism. Now, if you go all the way in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in Look in the mirror, Mr. Erdogan. This revisionist, ridiculous interpretation of history is absolutely absurd from Erdogan, who is a full-on Islamist, hardliner, strong man who many say faked his own coup five or so years ago, pre-COVID, to basically double down on his grasp and stranglehold on the country of Turkey. So regarding what happened with the Armenian genocide, let's sort of go down
Starting point is 01:08:55 sequencing here. You know, United States, Joe Biden, I believe was the most latest, the first president in American history to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. Is that right, Pat? It is. Yeah. Okay. So at least we talked about that yesterday. You did do that. But you know who has not acknowledged the Armenian genocide? Well, the genociders themselves, the Ottoman Empire of Turkey. So that's where this thing should start. Now you bring up the fact, what do you mean by that? That's where, turkey has not acknowledged but i totally understand if turkey doesn't acknowledge it like if there's anybody that if they don't acknowledge it is turkey i get it because they would have to revise
Starting point is 01:09:34 all their history books of the way they taught their kids about armenians they can't do that you're talking about 110 years of history books that we need to change. Well, that the, I understand that, but that just because Turkey may have to rewrite their history books doesn't, doesn't eliminate the fact that it did happen and is for sure. No, no, for sure. So they can write whatever nonsense they want to write. Just like how in rush under Nicholas, talking about where his ideology lies and what his religion is for him to do that.
Starting point is 01:10:06 His people like, what are you doing? Yes. And a lot of his ideology is basically funded on sort of the Muslim Brotherhood ideology, which is Sharia law and taking over a large swaths of the Middle East and implementing that. Now, as far as Israel goes, I'm not Israeli, I'm American, Jewish. I would say that it would be amazingly appropriate for Israel to have the conversation of acknowledging the Armenian genocide. If anybody knows a thing or two about genocide, the Jews are kind of leading
Starting point is 01:10:38 the league in that six million Jews killed during the Holocaust. I actually looked into this, Pat, because this is something we came up. Apparently this has been an ongoing conversation in the Knesset in Israel where, you know, Republicans and Democrats, you know, they're not going to agree on everything. That's like saying, Hey, what do Americans think about abortion? Well, depends on what Americans, what Americans think about Medicare, Medicare for all private payer depends on which Americans this apparently there's an ongoing debate in Israeli parliament, the Knesset, where people do want to
Starting point is 01:11:07 acknowledge the Armenian genocide and they understand the need to do it. And then there's other people who are sort of practicing, uh, yeah, dealing with the, the necessary, uh, relationship, monetary, economic, military, uh, relationship with Turkey. And they're basically saying, what is the benefit of doing this? I agree. You want me to tell you why I have a hard time with that? Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Okay. But in my opinion, last point, Israel is probably seeing what Turkey is doing and Erdogan is doing. And in my humble opinion, they now have an ace up their sleeve. They're saying, hey, listen, all right, Turkey, you want to play that game? What about this? Armenian Genesis. I think they have to do that very soon. I agree because it's, it's, if there's any, and by the way, to me, the first country that needed to recognize it was them. I think if there's anybody that understands what they do, the community is,
Starting point is 01:12:02 is you understand the pain and the suffering Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks went through. What do you mean you don't want to recognize? And then it was done by who? Ottoman, Turks. So now the stories behind closed doors, I know the stories, I know how certain people were like, well, we'll help you out, we'll get out the way, whatever. All that stuff, you know, the way history has been written, but Christians do a lot for Jews. Christians do a lot for Israel. Armenians are like OG, OG Christians. Armenians, Assyrians, you tell them, go to the Bible and look, study about the Assyrians. It's not like it's a, so to me, that is a, again, I'm not trying to steer the pot here.
Starting point is 01:12:41 All I'm saying is, bro, 34 countries, you're not one of them, make the announcement. Make the announcement. I'd like to see them make that announcement by the end of the year and get that knocked out of the way because this is a, it's a bit of an insult when you don't do that to one community who's experienced this in 1915. It's time. Can I respond real quick?
Starting point is 01:13:02 Sure. I'm fully on board with you from a moral standpoint, from a conviction standpoint, again, the United States just recognized it like two years ago. What took the United States, the moral compass and the, uh, the number one country in the world that so goes the United States. Who did Douglas Murray says they both by far the most important country in the world is the United States. And then he said, so what took us so long? What took the United States so long to recognize us? Calling a genocide.
Starting point is 01:13:27 No, but by the way, that one I understand. Believe it or not, that one I understand. Do you know why that one I understand? Because we were not a part of it, maybe? No, that one I understand because Turkey is the largest military in the Middle East and you have to find a way to keep a decent relationship with them. And it's kind of like, look guys, hey, it's like picking, I'm doing business with both of you guys. Okay, that's what I'm doing. I'm not neighbors to Armenia, I'm not neighbors to Turkey. Hey, you're a customer, you're a customer, it's kind of pump the brakes like this, right?
Starting point is 01:13:57 And a part of it is Russia usually defends who? Who does Russia usually defend? Russia usually defends Armenia. Turkey usually defends who? Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan, yes. They support the military. So the reason why Armenia still exists, even though they lost Nagorno-Karabakh, I mean the whole feud that we had.
Starting point is 01:14:15 Everything that's going on now, yeah. Yeah. It's because Turkey doesn't want to fully do what they want to do, or Azerbaijan, because they know Putin's on the other side. If Russia and Putin's not on the other side, Armenia's gone, by the way, if that wasn't the case. But in this scenario, Israel is different than the US. Pat, I'm with you. And let me say one last thing. What I find a little ironic, this is sort of infusing a little bit thing. What's the number one show in the world, number one platform in the world with the word Turk in it? Young Turks. The Young Turks, that's
Starting point is 01:14:43 who founded that. Cenk. I find it very interesting. And we've had Cenk on the podcast. I actually like Cenk personally. You know, he's addressed that, that, that, that's sort of, but he's never changed the name. We've seen people changing names. I asked him about it. So he's been out there. It's a genocide. It's a genocide. Israel, Palestine. Uh, did you not see the 1.5 million Armenians that died, the Assyrians that died, the Greeks that died? So Cenk loses a little moral authority, just like Erdogan in this matter.
Starting point is 01:15:11 No disrespect to you, Cenk. And Pat, you mentioned that you're half Armenian, half Assyrian. So you've gone through both sides of double genocides from the Armenian side. And you mentioned the Assyrian, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kurdish militias. Pat, there's only, what, three million of us? They killed almost 300,000 Assyrians. 300,000. The Ottomans did.
Starting point is 01:15:30 Ottomans with the Kurdish militias. And it's like- The Kurds were a part of it? The Kurdish militia too, but between 1914 and 1920. So the Kurds were also doing that. And now Turkey has basically claimed that the Kurds are a terrorist organization. It's so weird what's going on in the Middle East. Everyone is the enemy and my enemy is my friend. There's all this going on. It's crazy out there.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Tom, I know you have a lot to say. Go ahead, Tom. I go back to the core story here is what Erdogan was saying about... Earlier, you said you had strong opinions on this. Tom's like, can you give me 20 minutes? Actually, I do. And I think this is, he's making a political statement here and he's stirring the part because he's like, Israel will not stop in Gaza. Wait a minute, who attacked who? The history is Israel starting in 1967, 1973, October of 2023. How many times have the, the
Starting point is 01:16:19 alliance of Islamic countries has been doing pretty good staying together with one unified thing, which is when the opportunity comes up, we attack Israel. And now him coming out, it's almost like that political thing they say in the United States, accuse your opponent of what you're doing and get out ahead of your own investigation. And that's what this feels like. And that's exactly what he's doing. By the way, if I'm him, straight up, if I'm Erdogan, I'm doing this exact same thing. It's the whole, don't look over here. Don't let that be your hero, by the way.
Starting point is 01:16:47 That's not, it won't be. Don't worry about what we're doing in Turkey. Don't worry about the half a million million dead people in Syria. Don't worry about that. Let's focus on Gaza for a second. It's such a weird place. I mean, if you drew all the lines and connected to everything, you have this weird thing. It's like you're talking about the Kurds. Saddam Hussein was very upset with the Kurds. He was trying to... Chemical weapons, I believe. Yeah, he was trying to write chemicals on them because they were going to help these guys.
Starting point is 01:17:11 And things go back and forth. And then you have a Turkish reporter who gets carved up by people from another Muslim country. And it's like it goes back and forth. So, Tom, I'm glad you had a lot to say and I'm glad you did that. By the way, one thing we want to take the podcast on the road to a lot of different cities. We're right now talking to a couple of different organizations that want to take us to the, uh, uh, battleground states to go do podcasts there in some crazy cities like Dearborn.
Starting point is 01:17:38 We're going to some weird places. Would you like us to come to a city near you to do a podcast? And if yes, uh, uh, maybe comment in the comment section. Let us know on Twitter what that city is and maybe if more and more people are asking us, we're making the list right now that in the month of October, we may be going on the road to come to a city near you. I don't know if we're going to go to the battleground of Istanbul, but we're definitely considering different locations in the state.
Starting point is 01:18:04 But we will visit the different locations in this state. Yes, yes. But we will visit the alliance of battleground states. Yes. Yeah. All right, so let's go through this. Mark Cuban criticizes Harris' unrealized gains. Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has publicly criticized Kamala Harris. Rob, do you have a video on this or no?
Starting point is 01:18:20 I have a separate video of Mark Cuban. Okay. But see if you have a video of him criticizing unrealized gains. Proposal to tax unrealized capital gains. Warning, it could be a kill the stock market and negatively impact private equity and startup companies. Mark Cuban, while Cuban supports Harris, he insists she will not implement this tax plan, describing it as a starting point for broader economic discussions.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Harris has proposed a 28% capital gains tax to address wealth inequality, but Cuban argues that such a move could lead to a long-term economic consequence. During a contention CNBC interview, Cuban shared his concerns, emphasized in his frequent consultations with Harris' campaign, despite his reservation. Cuban defends Harris' intent to tax the wealthy fairly, although skepticism remains about her campaign's messaging to donor and the public.
Starting point is 01:19:06 FYI, when do you think Cuban sold the Dallas Maverick shares to get some cash out? Just recently. Okay. Maybe he's worried that she's going to raise capital gains. So his timing for sale is actually not bad. So Rob, is this the clip with the two of them going back and forth? Yes, so he's on the phone, so you're not gonna see Mark Cuban,
Starting point is 01:19:27 but this is the phone interview with Sandy. Is this where it says no 50 times? Go ahead. Of course, but okay, so what I told him was if you tax unrealized gains, you're gonna kill the stock market, right? And it's gonna be the ultimate employment plan for private equity.
Starting point is 01:19:41 Because companies are not gonna go public because you can get whipsawed, right? I mean, they realize that's the issue. Let me, I can't repeat it enough. Even though she's not directly conflicting the Biden tax plan to her, her value proposition is we need to tax everybody fairly. But as you've said yourself, you can't speak for the vice president. These are things they're telling you who knows what they're telling other people My guess is they're telling anybody who's donating to them exactly what they want to hear at this point What matters is what they say publicly and what they will stick to.
Starting point is 01:20:13 15 no's. Absolutely, positively not. Right. Let me just be very clear. I don't know, like why do you think they're telling you the truth and not telling other people other things? Well, I don't... If they won't say it publicly, say it publicly. tell all of us so that we can hold you to it. I get it, but you've got to get the details right. You can't just, you know, just talk it. Yeah, but we have 60 days till an election.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Wow, good for her for pushing. Tom, what are your thoughts on this? Well, I want to know, Mark Cuban, are you an entrepreneur and businessman or are you a proxy at this point? And you know, that's a real question that I have. Ooh. You know, because-
Starting point is 01:20:44 Get him, Tom. Because how many times you see a senator or a real question that I have. Ooh. You know? Get him, Tom. Because how many times you see a senator or a congressman goes on a show, and they're speaking as a proxy for Harris about economic things, about taxation, about programs and stuff. And Cuban's on there making what sounds like a point by an entrepreneur.
Starting point is 01:20:59 And all of a sudden, he's speaking almost for the campaign and using things like, well, you know, I'm having drop in the second name drop on having conversations with them every, every day. And so I'm not trying to go, you know, pick on Mark Cuban here, but I'm just asking him a question. What position were you on on that call on that call? Because unrealized gains, first of all, I'd like the first question of the debate would be like, Kamala Harris, can you please define unrealized gains and then outline your tax program?
Starting point is 01:21:27 And when she's asked to have her brain form words at the same time it keeps her heart going, she's going to be in trouble. So you've got an issue there where I think that you look at this and you say, wait a minute, you know, unrealized gain taxation, that's certainly not a good thing. But why go on here and have Becky Quick, you know, sitting there saying, no, hang on a second, hang on a second. And you're like arguing on behalf of the president and you're trying to make a point. I just think Mark, you're trying to do both. And it's, and it kind of exposes you a little bit.
Starting point is 01:21:59 I think there's two, I guess, separate arguments going on here. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I think I crush it with my analogy with Vinny last week when I told him to take a shirt off and show the gains. But maybe the people didn't recognize that. But there's two conversations out guns out. There it is. There's two conversations. There's actual long-term capital gains and what that is being taxed at.
Starting point is 01:22:19 And then there's the whole conversation of the unrealized capital gains. So there's two different things going on. So the actual implementation of capital gains or long-term capital gains, which is basically what over a year, is that what it is, Tommy? Correct. One year is long because if it's less than a year, 364 days or less, it's taxed at ordinary income, whatever you want to put capital gains, which is 40%. They're depending. Well, if you're Tom Wells, we're tax bracket 39. There you go.
Starting point is 01:22:49 The reality is, I think it's a progressive tax, progressive taxation that anything under, I believe, 50,000, 90 to 50,000, depending on how you're filing single or married jointly, is actually 0% from long-term capital gains. And then below a half a million, it's 15%. And then I believe even right now, the highest long-term capital gains rate is 20%. So this whole conversation that she wants to raise it from 20 to 28. Okay.
Starting point is 01:23:17 That's a conversation. But the second conversation to my friends out there who are like, what the hell's going on here? The current rate for unrealized capital gains is zero. And that's the number that they want to keep it at. So you can have the conversation of what you want to tax long-term capital gain. Hey, it should be 20, it should be 15. All right.
Starting point is 01:23:36 What's the number? Let's move it. You know, the estate tax goes up and down depending on Republican presidents. That's a whole nother conversation, but the unrealized capital gains tax has always been zero. And we would hope that it stays zero because it's sort of ridiculous to tax something that you haven't even sold yet. Right?
Starting point is 01:23:52 Yeah. We'll use a simple example, you know, and I've done this before. You have a guy that has a plumbing business, Fred and Sons. He's got five trucks. He's got about $5 million a year at the plumbing business. And that business is worth maybe seven, eight, nine, ten million dollars and that has grown over the year and then somebody comes along and says, hey Fred, yeah your business is worth ten million dollars. Yeah, you know what, that's too much, you shouldn't
Starting point is 01:24:13 have that. Well, I'm just building a business. I make what I make, I pay my employees and that's not what I make every year, that's just the value of my business. But I have no intention of selling, I'm going to run this thing for another 10 years. That's okay, but since it's worth 10 million, we want to do a calculation and we want you send a check to the government. Well, I can't do that. I don't have that kind of money. I don't have the money. I haven't sold the business yet. The business has grown. I don't have 10 million dollars. My business is worth that. I've got five trucks, 20 employees, and I'm just running a business. Ladies and gentlemen, that's what they mean by unrealized gains. By the way, and if they say they do a 25% unrealized gains on a $10 million business. You live in the state of California.
Starting point is 01:24:48 That means you would have to sell 50% of your company to pay the 25%. Exactly. Ridiculous. And by the way, the funniest part about this entire exchange is the lady says, how do you know? No, no, no, no, no. What makes you think they're telling you the truth and not the rest of us? How do you know? How do you know? It's like, no, no, no. What makes you think they're telling you the truth and not the rest of us? How do you know?
Starting point is 01:25:06 How do you know? It's like, well, that's not how it works. He is so, by the way, go to what I just sent you, Rob, the Twitter. Go to my Twitter account. Just go to my Twitter account, Rob. And if you go to, go down, go down, right there, zoom in right there. So Mark Cuban tweets this, for all Trump supporters, a question, which startups has Donald Trump invested in that didn't involve the family member Okay, I love this mine envy has you held hostage either get in the ring and run for office or get to get the same level
Starting point is 01:25:35 Of more authority. Yes, or let it go. He is so ridiculously Furious and angry with the amount of attention Trump is getting that it's starting to become a little bit too, something deep down inside is bothering him. I love, but Pat, you had no idea I was even going to go here, right? But I was just wondering, what makes somebody like, because by the way, you guys are over here talking about unrealized gains and you know what I realized? I still have no idea what you guys are talking about.
Starting point is 01:26:01 So I'm pretty sure some of the people out there are going to be talking crap like Vinny's done, he's done Vinny's done, he's done, he's done, okay, say all that. But it just, Pat, you saying that, it makes me wonder what makes someone like Donald, Mark Cuban hate Donald Trump so much. Okay. And by the way, are you about to tell us about unrealized revenge? Unrealized, exactly.
Starting point is 01:26:17 I'm going to make you realize it. Pop your shirt off. If you think about it, guys, for Mark Cuban to stick up for someone's policies that has no track record, no history, she won't speak to the public. You want to ask yourself, like, and mind you, this is coming from a guy at PBD that used to speak highly of Donald Trump. He liked Donald Trump, but now this Trump Derangement Syndrome, and I hate to keep saying it, but it's real. Something infects the brain, and I hope that there's like a practice of like a psychiatrist, that they start a new practice to fix people's brains like Rosie O'Donnell and Mark Cuban. But you know, I
Starting point is 01:26:48 thought about it. Did he sleep with Mark? Like the Trump sleep with one of his girls? Did he outbid him for a private? No, no, or something. But then I realized, this is apparently Donald Trump was mean to him at a Marlago party once. Oh no. And maybe this and Pat, you're a good body language reader. Look at how angry he is of what Donald Trump did him to this party. And you tell me if this is an enemy that he chose, that's not wise.
Starting point is 01:27:13 Go ahead. You know Donald Trump, for example? He's sort of our billionaire. Yeah, well, you can have him. Um. Um. Um. This was years ago.
Starting point is 01:27:23 Yeah, 2006. 20 years ago. Yeah, yeah. But look, look, he looks good here. I'll tell you my quick Donald Trump story. You've met the man? I've met him. Yeah. The first time I met him, our company had just gone public, and biggest IPO in history,
Starting point is 01:27:36 the stock market. And I got invited to a Super Bowl party at his Mar-a-Lago estate, beautiful place. And so we're down by the pool hanging out out and there's this terrace wherever all these people are eating and here comes Donald and you know, that's back when I was single. I thought there'd be all these hot women and, but anyways, there was Donald. And, um.
Starting point is 01:27:53 He was married. So he comes around and he's introducing himself to people and walks up and says, hi, I'm Donald Trump, doesn't even listen for our names and anything. And he goes, you know what? Someday you'll be able to sit up there with the rich people on walks off. Oh my.
Starting point is 01:28:08 I'm like. And look, and that stuck with him and has been stinging and bothering him all this time, but look, Donald Trump kinda bullied you and look what's happened ever since. You became richer, you become more popular, but those are little moments. This is one of those little seeds
Starting point is 01:28:23 that just infected his brain and that I think personally This is stuck with him Pat forever that he was like I actually don't have any problem with this And hear me out. Here's what I mean by it. No, I don't have a problem with that. I'm saying he got him upset. By the way, I actually think it did but I have no problem with this. This is the part of Mark Cuban I like and let me explain if you've ever read his book on competition. It's Ridiculous if you want to find out what he's really all about read his ebook by the way He didn't even write a physical book. It's an ebook. It's 80 pages made me
Starting point is 01:28:55 Can you go to his book how to what does he say the title is? Reunion is a is this the one go go to his name to see if there's any other books I want to see if that's the one or another one. Yeah, it's just the one? Go to his name to see if there's any other books. I want to see if that's the one or another one. Is this the one by Diversion Publishing? Let me just... It could be that one, right? It's about... It's purely about him competing, dominating all this other stuff. I read the book. I'm like... I had everybody in my company read it. It says, How to Win, and Sports and Life and whatever, whatever. It's not a big book. It's a very small book, right? The audio, if you buy the audible, you know how long the audible of this book is? Two hours and eight minutes.
Starting point is 01:29:28 I can do that on my way home. You gotta read it because you'll learn about how much of a psycho competitor he is. Yeah. So I have zero problem with that. However, here's the thing. You ever met somebody who naturally is very good with women? Yes. No. No.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Like I'm talking about, but you know, since they were seven years old, eight years old, ten years old, like listen. Like Dylan. I'm telling you, some people are naturally, they just got it, right? You ever met people that naturally, they're freaking impose fear in others and they've been like that since day one. 100%. Have you ever met people that naturally are professional shit-talkers and they've been since they were kids? Yes. You ever met people that are natural comedians that they've been like that since kids? Me. Bingo. What's the point? Trump has something that he was born with. Mark, you don't have.
Starting point is 01:30:28 This is not a shot, it's not. You can't envy something you will never naturally have. There are things he has that he's not gonna have. This isn't the, you know, but unfortunately, Mark can't talk shit like Trump. Mark can't troll like Trump. Mark can't get on stage Trump. Mark can't troll like Trump. Mark can't get on stage and speak and rally to people like Trump. Mark doesn't know how to, Mark doesn't have that part.
Starting point is 01:30:52 He doesn't have it. He doesn't have that. In the NBA as an owner, he was it. He was the guy, but he's just not Donald Trump. And that is very, very frustrating to a guy like him. You know, as much as he annoys the hell out of me with the policies and defending DI and ESG and all this other stuff I would love to see him run. You know why I'd love to see him run because I'd love to see what happens He has the brass to be able to win. He is smart enough. He has the wealth. He has the following
Starting point is 01:31:21 He has the the left would freaking die for a guy like this to run. Some of the shit from his past is going to come up, but in a situation like this, he just comes across as envious of Trump. And it's the ugliest quality is when you're defending a hundred percent that Kamala and them are not going to come up with a policy just because you said so. You believe them. Do you know how, what's the word, how-
Starting point is 01:31:45 Naive? Naive and weak you look. You look weak that you're kissing someone's ass. All you had to say is, well, obviously I don't know that, but the feeling I'm getting is the fact. You just said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, they're not gonna do that. You sound bot.
Starting point is 01:32:03 You sound like they own you when you talk like that. Not attractive. It's just not attractive at all. They ask Elon Musk, hey will you do anything with the Trump's administration that says this? He says I am really busy I'm doing a lot of stuff but I'll think about it. What kind of an answer is that? Leaving it up for for for question. But you would think if it was a hundred percent ass-kissing of, he would have said, what? Hundred percent, whatever he needs. I think this man even must doesn't play that card.
Starting point is 01:32:28 So I don't know. I just don't like his, you know, some of the ways he's been positioning himself. I love that interview with him and David Letterman. Tell me the stuff he's been doing the last few years. Come on, man. Real quick. Do you know who other than Donald Trump, Mark Cuban is feuding with at this point? I sent it to Rob.
Starting point is 01:32:43 Take a guess out of all people that he's feuding with. I mean. I sent it to Rob. Take a guess. Out of all people that he's feuding with. I mean, I looked on the timeline just on that tweet. It was a lot of people. Co-host on Shark Tank, Kevin O'Leary, because Kevin O'Leary has come out and basically been like, I don't like this infringement on my taxes and on unrealized gains. He came out and defended Trump. Remember when they, when they went after him for being sued in New York everything that Kevin O'Leary has made Very explicit comments sort of defending Trump or at least Trump's positions
Starting point is 01:33:11 So now you have two of the biggest names the biggest names on Shark Tank Kind of jockeying for position and feuding so we'll see how that works out Cuban I think Kevin O'Leary is got something that Cuban doesn't have Kevin O'Leary has got something that Cuban doesn't have. Kevin O'Leary, Cuban cannot rap and no. Listen, Mark's a better businessman. Mark's a better salesperson. Mark's a better, a lot of things he's better. But Kevin's got a little bit of that Trump Jr. ask.
Starting point is 01:33:42 Kevin's got that. At one point I think he wanted on for Prime Minister of Canada, if I'm not mistaken. Mr. Wonderful. Yeah, let's go to the next one here. Are you guys, you want to eat some pets or you want to go to Miami? You know what, let's eat some pets. Alright, let's go to this one. So Haitian Miami migrants eating pets. Here's the even more serious story about migrants in Springfield, Ohio. By the way, this is not a fake story.
Starting point is 01:34:01 We're going to show you a clip. It's a little disgusting, so again, you're being warned. It's not that bad, but it is disgusting. Claims that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating pets were denied by the police, a spokesperson stating, there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, abused by individuals. However, there's some videos here you've got to watch. These rumors starting after a resident claimed at a city commission meeting that migrants were grabbing up ducks by the neck and cutting their heads off.
Starting point is 01:34:31 By the way, I don't know the story, but this is just funny that they're writing it. Senator JD Vance amplified these unverified claims on X. People have had their pets abandoned and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country and defended his stands by citing a high volume of calls and emails from Springfield residents concerned about the migrant influx, which he linked to Kamala Harris's policies. Which clip you want to show, Rob? Tell me. Because this is either going to be a spoof and we're going to laugh our asses off, or
Starting point is 01:34:59 this is a story. Do you have the one with the cops arresting the girl? I don't even know if that's the... This is it. And mind you, people... How recent is this, by the way? How recent is that, Rob? I mean, this has to be recent-ish.
Starting point is 01:35:12 Can you go to the comments section of this video? Typically people in the comments section and community notes will say, that's not recent. That's a video from a long time ago. And Pat, while he's doing it, let's just, like, just to give you guys some context that under the Biden administration, immigration parole program, go to that, go to that and just look at the chat, the comment section, zoom in on the comment section, right? And see, uh, so much, it's amazing that hasn't happened until 2020. Is this real gross mass deportation, disgusting WTF, OMG, keep going down and bite them as
Starting point is 01:35:43 a widen, while I a while I don't worry while I woman arrested for killing cats eating in front of their neighbors and go down a little bit August August 20th so why is New York posting this is not real so this what newspaper is this what article so I think the confusion is whether or not the woman that's charged with this is actually a migrant or not I think that's the main issue so they're trying to tie the two things together. So she just may be somebody that likes cats or hungry or hungry. She missed a lot like dude people play the clip.
Starting point is 01:36:13 Play the clip. Rob just patient hungry. It's easy to mix them up. The cup. What did you do? Why did you kill the cat? Smile for me. Go like this. Did you eat that cat? Did you eat it?
Starting point is 01:36:26 Now why'd you kill it? Did you guys see all this? No, we pulled it up and she was just laying there with it. Did you see her eating it? Eating it. She was eating it? Yeah. She was.
Starting point is 01:36:34 You call the Humane Society and see if they'll come pick those cat up. It's deceased. I know you're emotional here. Adam, I'm going to come to your last, but go ahead. Yes, well, Haitian, I mean, I don't know how somebody could see that, jump to the Haitian thing and it'd be fake. But under the Biden administration, the immigration parole program has a large number of Haitians that resettled in Springfield, Ohio since 2020. They're estimating 12,000 to 20,000 Haitian immigrants have arrived in the area, which has created a significant strain on the town's resources, particularly in terms of housing, public services, and infrastructure.
Starting point is 01:37:19 I know Rob has a couple of videos. Elon even did it. There's a guy and a girl there in front of the city council and they're just complaining of what this influx. And mind you, how are they getting from the board? They're flying them. Is that correct, Rob? They're flying them.
Starting point is 01:37:35 They're not, they're not trekking through the United States, correct? I'm not sure. I know. Here's the video that Vinny's referencing. This is the female resident of Springfield, Ohio, where she talks about her town being overrun by migrants. I've seen this one. Do you have another one aside from this or is that?
Starting point is 01:37:48 I do. This one, this gentleman right here. Let's hear that one first. I think it's kind of odd that a guy like me has to come out from doing what I do on a daily basis to have fun because I see what's going on in these streets. And I see you guys just sitting up there in comfy chairs and suits.
Starting point is 01:38:03 And I'm getting out here every day, and I'm broadcasting this. And you guys are just sitting up there in comfy chairs and suits like and I'm getting out here every day and I'm broadcasting this and you guys are just sitting up there and so something like I I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something these patients are running into trash cans they're running into buildings they're running into they flipping cars in the middle of the street and I don't know how like y'all can be comfortable with this like I don't know like who's getting paid from this. I feel like I honestly feel like someone's getting paid from it in the background. They drop in that you got a bunch of people on a bus getting dropped off at a gas station
Starting point is 01:38:37 to come down here. I know a single mom that FaceTime me tonight FaceTime me this morning at the welfare office that really need like that really need something and it's nothing but immigrants over there and I don't even want to like seem like I'm coming down on the immigrants because it's the people that's bringing them down here because wherever they're at that's what they're used to bro they're in the park grabbing up ducks by the neck and cutting their head off and walking off with them. Why? That's what he's being real.
Starting point is 01:39:04 Y'all get the highway state patrol down here every week and then y'all get like a task force for the highway state patrol and they look for guns and they look for dope and this and that and the fourth. That same people that y'all got riding up and down limestone doing U-turns pulling people over for blinkers and pulling people over for like going left to center in like a couple miles over. Like y'all can take them same people, the Highway State Patrol, and you can take them in every single one of they silver charges and Dodge Durangos and y'all can take them
Starting point is 01:39:30 to Sunset and y'all can park them right over there and y'all can teach people how to drive since the Highway State Patrol knows so much about it. You can pause it right there. So here's what I just did. I just went to Snopes to see what Snopes says. I typed in Ducks. I put Ducks. I'll tell you what words I put.
Starting point is 01:39:46 Ducks, Ohio, Haitian. If you can just do that. No, take Snopes out, Rob. Just type exactly what I typed. Ducks. I can't believe I'm typing this. Ohio, Haitian. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:57 So go to Snopes. And they don't say no. They say unfounded, which means they're not even saying no. They're just saying we don't know. Well, because, I mean, I've had duck liver before. 1000%. Faux gras and the duck. Maybe they're looking at Faux gras.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Maybe it's like a rich. But look at that. I don't know if that picture is true or not. That could be Photoshop. That could be, but at the same time. This guy ain't ducking around. But PBD, I've seen videos on eggs of actual residents from Springfield reporting that they're killing and eating ducks from the local parks and their other animals such as cats and geese.
Starting point is 01:40:34 But you know what the crazy thing is? You should see the internet blowing up. Yesterday I woke up, I'm like, what the hell are all these memes AI generated of cats and Trump and that Trump is gonna save these cats and what I learned you know I realized look at this one look look look is that real?
Starting point is 01:40:56 no it's not real I mean dude it's scary in 10 years what's gonna be like but look at it he's like I love you quack quack but um I realized something like look at he's like I love you quack quack, but um I realized something like But but here's the point Adam you need that in your head back. That's my favorite one. That's what he needs Trump saving two cats. Trump has my vote now. 100%. Oh, there we go. Saving kittens and ducks. But guys, but you guys realize something?
Starting point is 01:41:31 Tom, if this lady was eating a human being, nobody would have cared. It would have been like a shock. And then the fact that the internet, no, Adam, because a couple of years ago in LA, there was a guy eating a cadaver on the freeway. Didn't make headline news. No, it did. That's why we know about it No, you know about it
Starting point is 01:41:47 There was a guy there's a homeless guy on the LA freeway that was eating a piece of a somebody there was a car I want to go Beyond the levity beyond the levity here, and this is pretty ridiculous, and there's levity and there's just absurd I really don't know what levity means. it's it's the penny do you know what it means he's adding he's putting light to levity's act humor I believe you know what the first thing is you've got displaced immigrants who you can't call them illegal immigrants by the way. These Haitians, the Haitians were actually not only protected, but they were validated
Starting point is 01:42:36 at to be here legally by the Biden administration. So you can't call them illegal immigrants. You can call them the the undocumented immigrants that have been validated by the Biden administration, TPS dropped off in Springfield, Ohio, without housing jobs or a transition plan. So the consequence here is our government and they're bringing in votes or bringing in whatever you make the decision there are dropping them off. And then these consequences are happening where these people don't have a place to live they don't have work skills that are applicable to the businesses in the
Starting point is 01:43:10 area and worse there's no they're they're living it they said that by the way churches have been opening up like open spaces they have warehouses have been tapped on the shoulder and asked to set up cots you know so there's some things going on beyond the story here about the pets showing that these are displaced people. I'm not saying feel bad for them, but I'm saying this is our government with an immigration policy that's failed and they're dropping all these people off in a small town, Ohio. This is what happens. This is a consequence.
Starting point is 01:43:38 How is this assimilating anybody here to do some work? You know, if India took a bunch of American cowboys from Nebraska and dropped them off someplace in India, you'd have headlines over there. What are they doing? People have had their cows abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country. You see? So it's like, are you getting a cowboy hat? No, no, but seriously, if you're going to do it without a plan. So I think the bigger story here beyond the absurdity and the just horror that people are facing is this is a failed immigration policy perpetrated by our government complete with no, you're not going to deploy these ones because hand me that pen.
Starting point is 01:44:18 Okay. Okay. There it is done. Those hundred thousand that were sent in here, they're cool. We validated that. And Tom, you make a great point because it's not, they're not illegal. I mean, they were just dumped here. Okay. I understand. Hey, they were undocumented immigrants who are now validated by the Biden administration.
Starting point is 01:44:34 Okay. You hang out. Yeah. And they're granted a TPS, which is temporary protecting status because where they were, they're facing horrible things where they're caught from. And I get it. My heart goes out to them. But I let's take a step back and Tom go deeper. What is the, what is the outcome for an administration with Alejandro Mayorkas and the Biden administration to take 20,000 people that, that are
Starting point is 01:44:57 stuff for them, by the way, just dumping them in the city, no housing, no nothing. And just in a town that has 60,000, what are you trying to do? Like, gee, I wonder, ah, man, makes you, it makes you scratch your head and be like, wait a minute, what, why, why is this? Is it because Biden and my Alonzo, my organs care about people about actual people they don't. So I'm thinking I go a step back, but then I thought about this, this whole story is blowing up and you're seeing all this stuff about cats because I realized
Starting point is 01:45:21 something, this country adores cat. Adam sent me something the other day Adam a sanctuary it was Ohana Sanctuary pet by the convention center mean but this is it was a what's it called a sanctuary not a sanctuary It was a pet resort. It's a pet resort. Meanwhile, there's two homeless guys sleeping outside and I realized this country loves cats You guys mind if I transition? No, just give one give one quick feedback? Honestly, I'm done with cats at this point. I do want to defend the Haitians though for one second if I can. They're going after Mr. I'm going to give you 30 seconds. Here we go. He jumped to 30. I'm born and raised in Miami.
Starting point is 01:45:56 I have tons of friends who are Haitians. I never have to worry about whether they're coming over to eat my cats. I think this is a ridiculous story that this one ridiculous human did something to these cats. And as a defender of cats in democracy, I will defend this. This is a one-off situation. I bet you won't take them to Ohio. The biggest problem is not immigrants. It is illegal immigrants flooding the system. So, sapasé nabule to all my Haitian friends out there. Let's go through it. Guys, next story is what I'm going through. It's probably the most important So, sapas e nabule to all my Haitian friends out there. I doubt they're eating the cat. Let's go through it.
Starting point is 01:46:26 Guys, next story is what I'm going through. It's probably the most important story we got throughout the day. State Senator forced Chief of Staff to perform sex acrobatics that left him with back and hip injuries. Files a lawsuit. Very serious. Rob, is this it? This is a newscast covering the story, if you'd like to hear. It's a little awkward with this one.
Starting point is 01:46:47 Is it Chad Condit, former chief of staff to actually know what? If you want to kind of give visual a little bit more context, go ahead. We go and play the game. The summer's all good. And that breaking news focuses on a lawmaker at the state capitol. As we look live in downtown Sacramento, this person is the defendant in a sexual harassment lawsuit that Lawsuit was filed just yesterday and we learned about this lawsuit just about an hour ago. In fact, we just finished reading through it
Starting point is 01:47:14 Thanks for joining us at five. I'm a response cousin. Yeah, I'm Goldston dark Yeah, thanks for being with us the details in the lawsuit are simply too explicit to explain Really in any manner of detail on air. But here's what we can tell you. So she likes Jim. The suit was filed against this person, Marie Alvarado Gill. Now she's the lawmaker, you might remember, who last month changed her party affiliation
Starting point is 01:47:38 from Democrat to Republican. The lawsuit, by the way, was filed by Chad Condit. He had been Alvarado Gill's chief of staff. He is now claiming sexual harassment quid pro quo. Now specifically he claims that he was pressured by Alvarado Gill to perform sex acts on her while she was his boss. Other claims include sexual harassment for creating a hostile work environment, discrimination, retaliation, failure to prevent harassment and discrimination and or retaliation, and then just violation of state labor laws. So we need to be clear here. These are the claims.
Starting point is 01:48:15 Okay, by the way, I like the title here way more. Listen to this folks. State Senator Force Chief of Staff to perform sex acrobatics That left him with back and hip injuries. I That's hot like that's hot. There's a part of like the ticket go a little more Maybe they're gonna say like he did summer so go a little lower. I want to see if there's like what else are they gonna say? former gymnast No, he wasn't a former gymnast go lower go lower lower lower. She's not bad-looking by the way. She's not I don't okay So go locate so there it is. Torino de Lucana alleges he suffered a debilitating back injury.
Starting point is 01:48:49 Dude, what were you guys doing while having to twist and contort as he performed, oh, God, in a card, leaving him with three herniated discs and a collapsed hip. So, I'm sorry, I'm laughing. This is just, do you think once he was done, like when she was done with him and she was like, how did I do? And he was like this 9.5, but my spine is ruptured. Go lower.
Starting point is 01:49:19 You seem to be into this position. I've never had, I can see you applying for her next chief of staff. By the way, look at the Ukraine pen. Go a little lower. She portrayed the suit as erratic, controlling boss who allegedly dominates, abuse of authority, and power, a former congressman. By the way, what's crazy is we didn't know about the story when she was a Democrat, but as a Republican, the stories coming out, you cannot do acrobatic hip injury type of stuff as a Republican.
Starting point is 01:49:51 And apparently it was done in a Mazda Miata because he had to do some yoga contortion. Was it really a Miata? I don't know, but I'm assuming because he's describing you can do in a Miata. No, no, because wait a minute. If she's got a suburban or she's being driven around Sacramento you can figure that out and I'm good You know she's saying in a car. He had to contort himself So one is assuming that there was limited space. I mean, that's just it and you know the
Starting point is 01:50:18 Gymnast and apparently he pegged the landings I'm not being that guy, but you rarely hear the female sexually harassing the male. I would listen I wouldn't I'm not going to HR. I'm gonna go to hospital. Forcing him to perform oral sex. Adam did you have anything to say? I thought we were off. For the first time ever I'm gonna decline to go to the juvenile behavior segment of this. I do believe we have a clip of her uh given the moral authority of why she left the Democratic party. But did she really? This is August 3rd or I'm sorry, three weeks ago, August 6th, where she announces that she is leaving the Democratic party and becoming a Republican. And she appears August 6th. What year?
Starting point is 01:50:55 This year. Yeah. Okay. Play this clip Rob. This is a little bit from a Democrat in California to a Republican. I mean, what's the reasoning for the move from one side of the aisle to the other? Well, that's the big question of the day. And the answer is really simple. I've been a lifelong Democrat. And the Democratic Party of today in California, I do not recognize it. And so I can't in good conscience with the values that I have and
Starting point is 01:51:21 my commitment to represent the voters of California, continue to call myself a Democrat. Those are the values that we're bringing to the Republican Party. She just got hotter. Apparently, she was trying to find one straight male. By the way, is she married? That's the question I got. I'm emailing her after. The man, so the person involved, the guy that's claiming Gary Condit's son, the chief of staff,
Starting point is 01:51:42 is married. I don't know if you guys remember Gary Condit. What about his story. Oh, wait a minute. He was the California congressman who his aide disappeared, Chandra Levy. And it was the biggest story, August of 2001. Everybody thought that he had had something to do with her disappearance. 9-11 happens.
Starting point is 01:52:00 Nobody ever talks about Gary Condit again. It turns out he was the guy who was accusing this woman of forcing sex on him. This is weird. You just got it to get weird. Rob got it. I'm going to email you. Wow. But by the way, she is single.
Starting point is 01:52:17 She has six kids. And she's acrobatic. I mean, you got to give her a question. She wants you to be acrobatic. I mean, you got to give her a question. She wants you to be acrobatic. He is acrobatic. We have not verified. She watches the Olympics. And I'm done. You mentioned the fact that you're looking to fill this open position in your spare time. No, I'm just saying, like, you never see it happen the other way. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But by the way, here's the part. Look, she's a leader.
Starting point is 01:52:42 The part about like some stories are just funny. This is a funny, I mean, of course she's probably not finding this funny. It's very funny to have a story like this. But the main thing with this, here's the part that we have to think about. This is what sucks. If this story is 100% fabricated, every time you look at her, you're going to think gymnastics. 100, no matter what. Like the landing and then the stick. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:08 100%. No, no, I actually want you, say in 2028, go to Republican debate and you're standing there. What are you going to do? You see her. She's this. This is the moment because you're going to run into her. You're going to.
Starting point is 01:53:19 She's going to like, hi, who are you? Oh, I'm a Senator, Maria Alvarado Gill. Oh, got it. Be quiet. It's such an honor. Wait, wait, wait. Thanks, I'm a senator. Maria Alvarado Gill. Oh, got it. Be quiet. It's such an honor. Wait, wait, wait. I will say one major thing that we're glass.
Starting point is 01:53:34 Storytelling can destroy someone's career. Yes. If this were the other way around, it would not be a joke. No, no, no. If this were a male congressman harassing a female, this would be serious. They'd be me too.
Starting point is 01:53:48 They'd be never seen again, or they'd be dealing with the charges of her. Let me go to the next one. Only in America. Yep, damn right. You wanna work in politics? Double standards. Then you wanna work in politics?
Starting point is 01:53:56 She needs a chief of staff. Yep. I'm gonna go into this. Give her a call. Do you have any openings that might fit? I'm gonna go to this next story until Tom, this next story is very important, and I know the folks of California are gonna appreciate this This is why you got the people that I by the way, I just did a podcast with
Starting point is 01:54:13 three Unbelievably Armenian funny Armenian guys called wise nuts to the Armenian community. You gotta go watch this podcast I just watched the whole thing early this morning Funny as hell. I laughed my ass off. I called these guys out non-stop. Right there, Rob, you're on the right one. Go to videos, go to videos, and you should see right there. You have to go watch, especially if you're Armenian, go watch this. It's absolutely hilarious what I said to them about the Armenian community, the fact that
Starting point is 01:54:40 California Newsome owns Armenians. They will never leave Glendale. You don't need to show this Rob right now. I'm just showing the fact that that happened. They're with them. But here's why California owns so many people and they're afraid of leaving because of laws like this. If you're wondering why California lost a trillion dollars of money on their management, and they have a negative net migration, they've lost people since 1851, first time ever on their Newsom, it's because they come up with ideas like this. California bill requires all new cars to beep when you speed.
Starting point is 01:55:16 Okay? Actually pull this up Rob, what website are we on right here? Is this vtnews.ai? This is Reason.com, redirected from vtnews.ai. Perfect, so here we go. Senate Bill 961 passed by the California legislature requires new passenger vehicles from 2030 onwards to issue a brief one-time audio and visual alert when driving over 10 miles above the speed limit.
Starting point is 01:55:36 Everybody's going to be speeding. The bill awaits Governor Newsom's signature and would make violations a crime. Initially, the bill proposed automatically throttling vehicle speeds using GPS, but after public pushback, including from a close friend, Senator Scott Wiener, great name, the bill was amended to remove this provision. While Wiener argues the law addresses dangerous speeding, post-pandemic critics note that popular navigation apps already provide optional speed alerts and suggest that incentivizing safe driving via disconnected insurance programs could be a better alternative, but these programs
Starting point is 01:56:20 are currently unavailable in California due to Prop 103. Tom? Tom Hickman Look, people, this is a crock. You have brownouts going on in California. Pasadena, with all the EVs plugged in at night, was having serious brownouts during the heat wave that's there. And so you've got Sacramento not talking about, you know, what do we do about energy infrastructure? What do we do about the condition of the central California highways? What do we do about water agreements to get water to the farmers in central state? What do we do about the condition of the central California highways? What do we do about water agreements to get water to the farmers in Central State? What do we do about the condition of our schools in California? No! How do we make your car beep if you're going 10 miles over the speed limit? That's absurd. That's absurd. And
Starting point is 01:57:00 what it shows is that under failed leadership in Sacramento, this is what they're working on. They're actually finding things to do like this rather than working on the list of things that I just gave you. Yeah. And it's, you know, if you want to, this is just a, this is a poster for your tax dollars at work, badly at work. Let me, let me get this straight. Your own car will beep almost like when you don't have your seatbelt on correct It'll start be under this law So yeah
Starting point is 01:57:31 Let's raise the cost for every single auto maker has to put a little software in and add this feature You're gonna pay for it for it I wasn't exactly clear on like if you had to like honk at other people you thought were speeding No, you know almost like if you see something, say something thing. As a non-car owner, Adam, I understand the question. And Tom, you made it great. So your own car is going to start beeping because you're going over the speed limit. If you're 10 miles over the speed limit.
Starting point is 01:57:55 And they're actually, but the point is they're taking time to make this law rather than deal with all the other things here in California. Tom, you make such a great point with all the crap that's happening in California, all the problems that this governor has. And they're worrying about this. It's like being in a burning building and you're in the building and you're like, you know what, let me fix the corner of this table. You know, this cold water won't work. Yeah. Who gives a day like this guy. This building's on fire, dude. Yeah. The house is coming down. It's unbelievable. I'm going to ask Pat a question. Pat, someone that would, would never speed. I mean going to ask Pat a question. I'm going to ask Pat a question. Pat, as someone that would never speed.
Starting point is 01:58:25 I mean, I've driven with you on California highways, speed limit the entire time. We weren't trying to break records, nothing like that. He's an advocate for just don't make them go that fast. Tell us why this is such an important implementation, Pat, in your purview. I think as a responsible driver, first of all, it's inappropriate. If this became effective and I was driving, nobody would ever honk around me. Nobody, because you're responsible as a driver. It's your job to make sure you don't speed. Make sure you, my dad always taught me if the
Starting point is 01:58:55 speed limit's seven, you go 69. If it's 35, you go 34. If it's 25, you go 24. It's something you got to do and who likes fast cars I mean honestly, what is the point of fast cars, right? There's no point to it. This is why I Think a Ford Focus is a respond for contour the Corolla to it a Corolla You got to do the right thing any any car that zero to 60 is faster than 10 seconds is too fast You don't need that kind of you don't need to be in a hurry I remember driving with Pat on the what what's the 405 freeway. 64 miles an hour.
Starting point is 01:59:27 He was going 64. I'm like, Oh, this seems pretty, pretty fast. And then some would say add a hundred to it. Pat is going 164. Hang on guys, guys. I was with Pat when we got pulled over by the police and the cop there, we're going through Encino Sherman Oaks on the Ventura freeway there and we get pulled over and the cop says you're speeding and Pat said the sign said 101 and he says man I'm glad I stopped you before you got to the 405. I would have needed a better car, Doug.
Starting point is 01:59:59 There you go, Tommy. But we would have hit 170 would have been a better freeway, right? 134, 101, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one,
Starting point is 02:00:10 one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, It's on the Colt Gray, the school shooter. Steph Curry? Oh, Steph Curry too. Let's go to Steph Curry. Steph Curry says, woman right to choose is top issue for him supporting Kamala Harris. Rob, there's a video you want to go on and play this video. Go ahead. Endorse and comma is important for me, for my family.
Starting point is 02:00:36 Why? What are the issues you care about most? Say what? What are the issues you care about? I just know from, especially women's rights and thinking about what's at stake with this election and understanding we need to be in a position where women have the right to choose what's right for them. And that's at the top of the list for me.
Starting point is 02:00:56 I have amazing women in my life who have been an inspiration to me. It just goes to show you could be the best at one thing. You're the best shooter in the history of the world. But this is a horrible take by Steph Curry. And I love these. And listen, let's just put this. I really like Steph Curry. I think he's one of the best basketball players of all time.
Starting point is 02:01:16 I think like he's automatic that aside. A, I think if you saw his face, he was kind of caught off guard with the question on why he's voting with Kamala and as a self-proclaimed Christian, okay, to support Kamala, who doesn't have any children, mind you, and to be, who's pro-abortion is weird to me. And his mother, I found this video and I sent it to Rob and he could play this path. It's okay. His mother, Sonia Curry, in an interview, admitted she had an abortion before Steph Curry, brother, we don't know, right?
Starting point is 02:01:46 Before he was born, and then even contemplated aborting Steph when he was in her womb. Okay? In her memoir, Fierce Love, she shared this experience and the challenges she faced on and then how her faith, Christian, played a role in shaping her decisions moving forward so her faith basically saved Steph Curry's life. Can you play this Rob? The decision that I made to keep him at that point is also countered with the decision that I made to not carry through with a previous pregnancy.
Starting point is 02:02:19 And so God just bringing it all together and just showing me being able to just say, hey, here's this decision I made in this point and look at the blessing that he has become. And I just thank God. Well, think about it, because of her faith in God, Steph Curry is alive. And if she had that faith earlier, he would have a brother or a sister, you know, whatever would be. And I get it. This is such a touchy topic, especially when it comes to women's rights and all that stuff. And I love the argument of people going, well, what about, you know, when people, women are getting, you know, raped and they're getting pregnant or, you know,
Starting point is 02:03:00 it's, I'll get, listen, there's always exceptions to every single rule. Like thou shall not kill, like all the Christians out there, thou shall not kill. But if somebody comes in your house and tries to kill you, what are you going to do? You're going to kill them. You have to, to protect your family. Like, and if it's just a decision of like, because I think she kind of explained that it was just, you know, it wasn't the right time, hardships in life, and you just abort the thing. I just don't like, if you're, if you're a Christian, if you're a self-proclaimed Christian, and Tom, and you could please attest to this, is just having abortions just because,
Starting point is 02:03:30 ah, it's not the right time and you just can't handle it. If the child is healthy and you just decide to abort it, is that a Christian attitude? Yeah, the bigger thing for me here with Steph is, you know people, you get to watch their career, their unbelievable achievements and stuff, and then you see him politically and they tend to be kind of shifting with which way the wind's blowing. And I kind of feel like that was stuff.
Starting point is 02:03:57 This doesn't look like Steph from a couple of years ago, how he represent himself politically. And I hate to see that because that makes me me wonder is the NBA putting some pressure on his ownership of the Warriors putting some pressure on is there some pressure from sponsors at the NBA and then you don't know I really don't know where Steph really stands when you see over a very few very short time span this is two and a half years some different positions. And you wonder, is this really Steph,
Starting point is 02:04:27 or is he kinda having to kinda take this line, and this is why he's being careful with his words, and it's important. And does he say it's important to me and my family, because of his career? I don't know, but it just seems odd to me, and I hate to see people that shift, and they say, where's the real you?
Starting point is 02:04:42 I'll give you the quick answer. He's playing he's playing ball and I'm not talking about on the court. I'm literally off the court. I'm talking, he's playing ball. He's playing ball. Uh, as a terracly speaking, he lives in California, lives in San Francisco. What is potentially the woken city in the world in America, uh, Silicon Valley woke left San Francisco. He's playing ball.
Starting point is 02:05:04 He's doing what he has to do to play that card. By the way, where's Kamala Harris from? What state? California. They have a relationship. You know, you're talking about somebody, you know, Steve Kerr, his head coach just spoke where DNC at the DNC. He's a hard line.
Starting point is 02:05:17 It's not even they're not even playing games. I mean, like it, where do I just wrote down here? Here's what I wrote. Where's the NBA on all this? Obviously left. By the way, do you think Steph Curry is a good guy? Yes. I think he's a good guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:31 I think his loyalty is California. I think his loyalty is to his coach who is a hardcore, hardcore lineage of Popovich, which Popovich is a hardcore, hardcore, the hardest core liberal in the NBA. You got his parents. He's a mama's boy, okay? His wife, and then he's also thinking about post-NBA career. He wants to go into Hollywood,
Starting point is 02:05:50 maybe follow Dwayne Wade's career, and Hollywood, you know, I experienced this little bit weird stuff last couple months on how nervous and anyways, that world and that space is. But you know, if there's one time, the more and more I think about Politics here's what I think about. Okay?
Starting point is 02:06:11 Kids are they more loyal to their mothers or their fathers the last 60 years? mothers, okay, if you were to vote if you were to look at What percentage of women how they vote how, how women vote, how men vote, how men and women vote. Can you just pull up the data on that, Rob? For presidential elections or in general? For presidential elections. No, no, I just want to know exactly how they vote, left or right, women or men, okay?
Starting point is 02:06:39 Here we go. I got this here, how they vote, okay? Women or left? Yeah, exactly. Here we go. I got this here how they vote. Okay, women are left. Yeah exactly What I'm trying to find out is Rob what the percentage is of women left and men, right? That's the number I want so 55% of women. No, no, I want to know exactly Breakdown I got you how women vote versus how men vote. Okay, you know Because it depends Pat and, and I'll find you the data. What percentage of women vote Democrat, okay?
Starting point is 02:07:10 And that's all you have to look at, right? Well, it depends, Pat, if they're married, if they have kids, if they're single. I don't want any of that. I just want all in, everything combined. Here we go. So, men, general Democrat, 2022, so 44% of women vote Democrat, 51% of women vote Democrat. Okay, do you have that? Is that it, Rob?
Starting point is 02:07:37 Yes, from Pew Research. Right there, that's exactly what I'm looking at. So look at that right there. So men, 46% vote Democrat, 52% vote Republican, 6%. Okay? Women, 51% Democrat, 44% Republican. Then you can go to married men, 59% Republican. Married women, it's more Republican Democrat. Interesting, 45-50, right? Men who live with a partner, what does that mean? They're just living with somebody. Unmarried. Like they're not married. Yeah, but they vote Democrat. Women who live with a partner, 64. Divorce, separate a man, 53, Democrat, 44. Divorce, so more divorced men vote Democrat than women.
Starting point is 02:08:17 Interesting. There it is, Pat. So widows married women. Never married women. Never married men, 61%. Never married women, woman 72% straight men 55% Republican Straight woman. It's 49% Democrat 83 men 83 woman so here's a party. Here's a part. Here's a part. Here's a part Tom. I am convinced Lindon B Johnson's policy came up with Was the fastest way to flip 10% of the vote because men, young men, they're being raised by their mothers and they don't like their fathers and their fathers are typically going to have more
Starting point is 02:08:55 conservative fiscally, no excuses, go make your work, then mothers are going to obviously have pro-choice as maybe as more of a motivator for them. And guess who is Steph Curry's biggest reasoning for supporting this his mom and his wife that's it and so this is I'm not surprised he gives me a by the way I tell you right now if Steph Curry's parents were both conservative what do you think he'd be voting Republican of course he would know for sure of course he would be so Steph Curry is simply course he would. For sure. Of course he would be.
Starting point is 02:09:25 So Steph Curry is simply voting the way he is because of his parents. Simple. It doesn't make him a bad guy. It doesn't make him a good guy. It's not his loyalty to his party. Steph's been loyal to his mother and his wife. That's what he's been loyal to. And that's how politics half the time works.
Starting point is 02:09:43 It's very hard to go against your family and say no unless one of them lets you down. If one of them lets you down, you'll flip. That's what happens. Elizabeth Warren, even Hillary Clinton, if one of them, Ronald Reagan's only biological son, you know where he's at politically? He's an atheist. He can't stand any of his dad's politics.
Starting point is 02:10:02 But Ronald Reagan's son that they adopted, Michael Reagan, guess what he is, 100% loyalty to Ronald Reagan's family. So his biological son votes the opposite way. The son that he adopted, his full loyalty is to what right there, that's Ronald Reagan's son. He named his son after himself, Ronald Reagan, and he's fully politically on the opposite side. Wasn't there, Reagan was on the road, you weren't there for me when I needed
Starting point is 02:10:25 you, you were doing this, you were doing that, you were always in Hollywood, you were always in movies, I never saw you. Wish you were there. So that's the part where this thing is very tricky and some basic policies may not seem like a lot. Long term, they can have a lot of influence. Anyways, we're at the end of the podcast here. Do we want to do one more or no? Which one you got? You want to do the Tyree kill or no? Let's do the Tyree kill. So Miami police released Tyree kill's body cam footage. Here's what we know. Rob, I want to read this and then if you got a couple of clips to show, do that and then
Starting point is 02:10:53 we'll wrap it up. Okay. Miami police, Tyree kill was pulled over for speeding and reckless driving near Hard Rock Stadium according to ESPN and briefly handcuffed was after a verbal altercation with the cops. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, describes the situation as heartbreaking and mind boggling and Hill went on to play the game, scoring an ADR touchdown. Body camera footage shows Hill being removed from his car and taken to the ground after dispute about his window being pulled down.
Starting point is 02:11:19 According to Miami Herald, the Miami-Dade County Police Department launched an internal investigation and one officer was placed on administrative duties, leave apparently during the probe as confirmed by director Stephanie Daniels. The agent criticized the incident saying this shouldn't have happened to a player entering his own stadium. There's no reason Tyreek should have been treated this way today. Vinny, is this a clip? This is the body cam footage.
Starting point is 02:11:49 Is that a McLaren? No seatbelt and driving over 100. I'm late. Do what you gotta do. Andy's rolling up his window. Like see? Not complying with the cop. You see? Elevating the situation, which you're not supposed to do. Look, look. Hold on. I'm just letting you know. Hey.

Give me your ass or I'm going to break that freaking window. Get out of the car. I'm going to break the window. Get out of the car right now.

Starting point is 02:12:50 Hey, Drew. Hey, Drew. I'm getting arrested, Drew. I'm getting arrested. He's on the phone with Drew Rosenau's his agent. I'm getting arrested, Drew. I'm getting out, bro. I got that.
Starting point is 02:12:59 Look at his arm. OK, Adam. OK, we'll talk about it after. I'm getting out. I'm getting out. I'm getting out. You understand? Not what you want, but what we tell you. I'm getting out. You're a little fucking confused. I'm getting out, bro. Okay Stop crying. Bro. Y'all. Don't move. Good. Bro, you beating on my window like you crazy. You set him up?

Starting point is 02:13:44 Hey, don't park there. Don't park there. Hey. How long does this one? That's his teammate, by the way. Yeah, yeah. Hold on, bro. I just had surgery on my knee.

Starting point is 02:14:18 Hey, what? Hey, call Drew, bro. Just call Drew. Spits himself. And then, Rob, I sent him one button. So now I sent Rob another short one where he's saying Go to the one Rob that I sent you about he's like y'all just pull me over cuz I'm a black man in a nice car Just go to go and then I'll show you no no no Robert the other one It's a short clip of the police situation right there This is the short one, Rob? Yeah. I'm just being a black man, that's it. I'm just being black in America, bro. That's all in here.
Starting point is 02:14:45 We're dark too, brother. We're people of color too. Don't play like that. Don't play like that. I'm just being a black man in America, bro. In a nice car. That's it. Okay.
Starting point is 02:14:53 Here, Adam, because I know obviously that one cop was being a little bit aggressive, but what was the problem with this video and what people people need to understand this comply with the officer's instructions. Why do you have an attitude? Why do you have to roll up your window? None of that would have happened. None of this would escalated is you just listen to the cops, leave the window down, give them your ID. By the way, they're not pulling them over cause he's black. They're pulling them over cause he was going over a hundred miles an hour,
Starting point is 02:15:21 Adam, cause he was late. Okay. Was the car honking at least? Oh, no, no, no. It wasn't in California. Oh yeah. Wasn't in Cali. But Pat, and here's the problem. I want people to understand. Yes. That other cop, aggressive. I don't like that. That's the one that was put on leave. Totally uncalled for. He escalated even more than a situation shouldn't have been, but none of this happens. You don't see this video. you don't see any police cam,
Starting point is 02:15:46 anything like this, if he just obeyed the officer's instructions. If you never wanna deal with cops like that, just listen to what they say. Why do you roll up the window, Adam? They're trying to talk to you, you're rolling up the window, you're having an attitude, I'm late, you're this, and then at the end of it, to play the race card,
Starting point is 02:16:03 isn't helping the situation at all. And then he's interviewed, Rob, I sent you that one too where he's interviewed I think he went on what was it CNN? Oh of course he's going to go on CNN. Can we hear this one Pat? Yeah for sure. You just tweeted a moment ago you said let's make a change. What did you mean by that?
Starting point is 02:16:17 Right so I'm a good old country boy from South Georgia man like I'm not I'm not a big believer in dividing people you know I don't believe I'm not a big believer in dividing people. You know, I don't believe in all that, man. I believe in bringing people together because that's my purpose in life. I do football camps all across the world, man, trying to bring different people together, different kids, different parents, you know,
Starting point is 02:16:39 because we in this together, baby. Like we on this earth together, we got to live together. So when I say let's make a change, let's do it together. So Miami PD, really all officers across the world, man, because one officer doesn't, you know what I'm saying, like make the whole group look bad. Like everybody has bad apples, you know what I'm saying? Every team has bad apples. It's my job to use my platform and my resources
Starting point is 02:17:09 So that way I'm able to align you know with you know, I'll be just stop it You know, but but but none of the none of the way bringing people together having that attitude talking about all cuz I'm a black man In the car, that's not you're doing the complete opposite of what you're saying You're dividing people because now people like oh you're pulling me over because I'm black. man in the car. That's not you're doing the complete opposite of what you're saying. You're dividing people because now people like, oh, you're pulling me over because I'm black. There's three chapters here. So chapter one is what happened before the body cams turned on and the car is stopped at the curb.
Starting point is 02:17:35 You don't know what happened. I'll tell you, in 1996, I was driving like an idiot late for work. He was late for work in Los Angeles, California, driving a 1973 Chevy Impala, which was all I could afford. I committed five moving violations in one mile. I was pulled over for reckless driving. Once they pulled me over, I hear a helicopter because they said I was attempting to evade pursuit.
Starting point is 02:18:02 I was being an idiot. I actually had a white shirt and a tie on like the one of two ties I owned. I got out of the car I did everything they said because when they pulled me over they were upset and so I did everything they were to do. But even as I had my hands on the trunk of my car while they frisked me being pissed off they took the back of my head and they gave me a big push and my nose and my chin bounced on back of my car, but I stood there frozen because that's their world. Now that was a wrong thing for them to do. But why was I pulled over? I was pulled over because I was driving like an idiot. Now I step into their world.
Starting point is 02:18:38 So chapter two. I obeyed what the officer said. Tyreke Hill gets on the phone to his agent, help me, help me fix it, rolling up the window. You can't do that with the cops once you're pulled over. But chapter three, it was handled poorly by the police. Absolutely poorly. But let's just remember we don't even get to chapter three. If you arrive to work on time and you're not driving at a high rate of speed, you know, and I'm sorry, but we need to talk about that. You put yourself in a bad position.
Starting point is 02:19:10 You encountered a bad cop, but once you were pulled over, you didn't follow instructions. Yeah. Adam, do you have anything to say about that? Yeah, I do have a lot on this because I've been to the stadium a million times. I grew up going to Miami Dolphin Stadium. It used to be called Joe Robbie. Now it's called the Hard Rock Stadium. I've been on that exact same street.
Starting point is 02:19:25 I've there erode a million different times and I respect the cops. By the way at the, this was opening day NFL season. You know, many cops are out there. I've been to hundreds of tailgates here, thousands of cops and the vast majority of them are awesome. Okay. This is a case of in my opinion opinion a drunk on power authoritarian cop for whatever reason is just utilizing all his authority to look like the man in front of a guy who was clearly
Starting point is 02:19:54 an NFL player. He didn't know that it was Tyree Kill, arguably the best wide receiver in the league. The guy that just signed a four million, a four year, $120 million contract for the Miami Dolphins team that has worth $7 billion. By the way, I'm sure Mayor Francis Suarez may have a thing or two to say on this. So number one, I think the cops screwed up royally and he's been placed on administrative leave. Here's a guy. I mean, if this wasn't Tyree Kill, just imagine for a second if something worse happened and they shot Tyree Kill. By the way, it wasn't just Tyreek Hill,
Starting point is 02:20:25 two other players got arrested. Kaleus Campbell, who went to the U and there was a third player that got arrested. At what point do these moron cops say, hey, by the way, we're arresting the players. We're here to protect in the stadium at one point. That doesn't mean that doesn't matter. Adam, if you're breaking the law and you're being okay Yeah, there's okay breaking the law Okay, Adam if you're Vinny you're talking out of both sides of your mouth if you hit somebody with a car You just spoke for five minutes. Allow me buddy You just said how ridiculous it was. I can't go on going over 10 miles per hour
Starting point is 02:20:59 Yeah, he was not going 10 miles. I'm just saying that that's not going 100 at 55 Okay, here's a couple things. Here's a couple things There was a story back in the days of this happened into sly Sylvester Stallone and you know, it's like do you know who I am that hold? Do you know who I am? Do you realize who you're doing this to? Do you know who I am? Do you realize I'm okay? So famous people go through this. Do you know who you're doing this to? Do you know who you're doing this? So, do you know who you're doing this to? Okay you know who you're doing this to? Do you know who you're doing this to? Okay great, totally get it. That cop didn't know who he was apparently. I've read a couple stories that they didn't know who he was and it's kind of like, oh who's this guy doing this?
Starting point is 02:21:31 Automatically jump to conclusion. If a guy's telling you pull the window down, bro pull the window down, what are you doing pulling the window up? Pull the window down. 100 out of 55, I get that. That's pretty crazy for that to be taking place. Trust me, I have 20 plus speeding tickets in my career. My license has been suspended multiple times. I know what it is to be pulled over going places where you shouldn't be doing. And when they come up to you, you just got to follow you. If you want to take the risk of driving that fast because you're running late to practice or the game, that's you not being prepared. By the way, he ended up having 130 yards receiving it in the touchdown.
Starting point is 02:22:02 RICK VALLEE yards receiving in the touchdown. Ridiculous touchdown. He did. But moral of the story, yes that one cop pushed the envelope. If the cops tell you to pull the window down, what are you doing, bro? What are you doing to not pull it down? That's the most basic thing. Last week we were at, what do you call it, a vault conference. Now I can say, well, we stayed at four seasons. We're driving up from four seasons, right? We're now all of a sudden, Trump is at Mar-a-Lago. There is a hundred car in front of us.
Starting point is 02:22:36 I'm running late, I gotta hit the state at 8.30. And we're driving, I'm like, dude. So our driver goes around, gets out of the car, goes to the cop and says, hey, brother, Pat's speaking, gets out of the car, goes to the cop and says, hey, brother, Pat's speaking, you know, over there, can you please? So the one cop stops all the upcoming traffic, allows us to go through it to get through. One other cop doesn't communicate with the other guy, opens it up, says, have their asses wait.
Starting point is 02:23:01 We waited for 100 cars to get ahead of us before we could go in. And you're about to speak on stage in front of 6,000 people. And I'm about to speak on, but Tom, you remember this? But we had done the right thing. We had one of the guys got out of the car, approached the cop and says, hey, we got a situation here. We have an event. This is what we're doing. We did the right thing. But then the cop cop 50 yards in front of him is like, da da da. But I want you to know this. In that moment, you have no idea what I want to say and what
Starting point is 02:23:30 I want to do. You have no idea. But guess what? I got an event. So keep your mouth shut, go up there, whoever you think you are, go do your job. If I would have done anything, we would have acted stupid. If we're there for our hour and a half Vault is running an hour and a half late. It changes the entire dynamic. So that's the part where you know cops Have that power trip you already know some of them do Why are you making it worse if he doesn't play the game they lose? I hear end of the season you don't make the playoffs because of one loss You're not big of a deal one losses in the end of a job or a loss the first game to freaking New England Patriots, you don't think it's a big deal. End of the season that one loss could come and haunt you, you don't make the playoffs. That's
Starting point is 02:24:10 the only thing. You're a superstar. You want to add something to wrap it up? I'm just going to say one thing. If it was just Tyree Kill, I get it. Then you arrest two other clearly players. All right. Now you have a problem with the team and the community. Speaking of the team, here's the statement from the Dolphins. We are saddened by the overly aggressive and violent conduct directed towards Tyree Kill, Kaleus Campbell, and Jonu Smith by police officers before yesterday's games. This is the, this is the, you don't think the Dolphins want to have a good relationship with the police to protect them. It is both maddening and heartbreaking to watch the very people we trust to protect our community use such unnecessary
Starting point is 02:24:45 force and hostility towards players. This is their statement. I don't support that letter though. That's not the right letter, but I understand why they would defend their player. I understand you're supposed to defend your player, but you're also supposed to say what you said. What did you say earlier? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:25:00 Maybe even they said it. If they said it, forgive me. If you already said it later. The majority of the cops are good. They have to still edify cops. The reason why fans go to stadium is because they have to feel safe. If they said that- Here it is right here. We are proud to have a strong and positive relationship with the Miami-Dade Police Department, and we recognize that the vast majority of officers do serve their community with the
Starting point is 02:25:22 utmost character. All I'm saying is this one guy was a moron. I wonder if they also said in the future when asked to roll up the window, keep it down. I wonder if that's in the notes. Yeah. No, they said stand beside Tyreek and our players to work to use their platform to make a positive impact in the community. I have boys.
Starting point is 02:25:39 Boys are different than girls. Boys will do some reckless things at times and they'll take... I'll go to school and hey, your son did this. I'll ask the, what do you call it, the principal and I'll say, can I get a couple minutes with my son? Yes. We'll go to the side. Hey, Teeq, Tilly, did you do that?
Starting point is 02:25:55 I did. So you know you messed up. Yeah. Okay, cool. Let's go back in there. All right. Anything else? No.
Starting point is 02:26:03 Teeq, Dylan, I don't support what you did. We can't do X, Y, Z. You know that. We've already processed it. This part I get it, that part I get it, this part I get it. Now if I go in, I say, so what'd you do? Know that the other guy hit me first. And then I'll defend. And then I'll defend. Roll the tape. That's right. And then I'll defend. But in this situation, the right thing to do, but
Starting point is 02:26:19 they can't do it because NFL can ask for trade. They don't have my back. Manager calls, agent calls, you're trying to get another player. Rosen house doesn't bring the other guy to you because the way you treat her time, such a political thing. But I understand the politics side of this as a way to bridge the gap between police, players, black men, whatever. There can be a positive outcome from this. If it was a white guy in the car that had that attitude, they would have done the same shit. They're not playing games. Do you remember when Scotty Shuffler got arrested at the Masters? I don't like this whole black and white thing.
Starting point is 02:26:48 Well, he's playing that card. It ain't me. He's saying it. Do you remember when he got arrested at the Masters? Yes. All right, guys, let's wrap it up. Gang, listen, we get a lot of messages that, hey, how do you guys get your stories, everything you've been doing?
