Starting point is 00:06:38 you'll be networking with other people, CEOs. Here's what the categories look like right now with Lightweight, Bryce Mitchell's at the top, then Caleb, then Jose competing. Rob, can you just go to the site so we can see some of the other names? Just go to Manect and then go to the leadership, leaders board, and we can show that. Zoom in a little bit if you could. So the way it works is the scoring system. Per Manect you finish.

Starting point is 00:07:00 Go to the top Rob a little bit, not that high. Go a little lower Rob. Go a little lower right in the middle right there. For each completed Manect is one point. Each review is two points. Each unique review is three points that you get. So based on that scoring system, you can go a little lower. Here's what you'll notice. Bryce Mitchell at the top, then Caleb, Jose. These are people that have never been an expert on Manect, that never had done a Manect, that just started. Adam Hudson, Brianne Dressen, Stephen Hamal, all these guys. You're in the top 10. Go to the next one. Middleweight.

Ask us whatever questions you got today. All right, let's get right into it. Let's see what's the first story for us to get into.

Starting point is 00:08:56 I'd like to get into the first story. 86% of renters say they cannot afford to buy a home with majority saying they will never afford one. And this is a story from Fox Business. Let's go through this here. 86% of U.S. renters say they can't afford to buy a home. 50% doubt they will ever own a home. Brent Bjornsson, a 39-year-old father, explains home ownership seems impossible and that hurts for two kids of

Starting point is 00:09:25 baby boomers. Matt Agen, a CNN reporter notes, this is just widening the gap between the haves and have-nots, emphasizing that 83% of Americans consider homeownership as an essential milestone, yet many can't achieve it due to escalating costs. Jeremy Anderson, a 40 year old father of twins representing a growing sentiment says, we have given up on homeownership I'm not going to pay three hundred fifty thousand dollars shit 350 thousand dollars you wish that was the case in South Florida for a run-down house the rising prices of starter homes

Starting point is 00:09:56 now at least a million dollars in 237 cities Exasperate this frustration top thoughts on the story. Well, this is the affordability crisis, another story in living color about it. And what people are talking about is, hey, inflation is making it so expensive to live, how am I supposed to save a down payment? Now, veterans don't need a down payment, but the rest of us do, at least 10%. So inflation in PBD is making it hard for people just to save for that down payment and then Okay. Now you've got a down payment, but how big is that? Monthly payment going to be based on the price of the house and we had yesterday of the news

Starting point is 00:10:38 It's me day before yesterday in previous podcast the news that people were getting into contracts You know like an offer is a contract well But now can you get it done? And banks were causing those contracts to be canceled because they can't approve them for the loan with everything there So this is basically underlining the affordability crisis, but also it underlines you can't wait on the economy It may suck but you got to drive with side hustles and do a lot of things to get yourself up. You can't just wait for it to come back to you. You got to be inspired and you got to drive against it.

Starting point is 00:11:10 But this is what the average person is facing. This is the affordability crisis in living color. Adam, yeah, this is the conversation of our time. It's you know, we had a conversation a few days ago about has the American dream changed? And I said, or is the American dream dead and I said no the American dream is not dead it's just completely changed the American dream formerly known as buying a house having 2.2 kids having the picket fence everything to car garage well that's great for your parents for your

Starting point is 00:11:38 grandparents but if you're trying to do that now there's something that is working against you and it's a four four letter word and it's called math. So if you want to get the two cars, if you want to get the picket fence, if you want to get the house, you want to do that and you want, how much does it cost to raise a kid? A quarter million dollars from zero to 18. The average price of a house is now record high. What's the average price set up of a house about $450,000.

Starting point is 00:12:00 That's average. Good luck. If you're in LA, good luck. If you're in San Francisco, good luck. If you're in New York, good luck. If you're in Miami, any of these major cities. So the math doesn't add up. So my question to you guys is how much money do you want to put towards your house? So you could buy a house, go for it, but you might end up being broke because of it. You know, I say the number one thing that's going to cause you to drive to the poorhouse is your car.

Starting point is 00:12:24 But what will keep you in the poorhouse is buying a little too much house and you can afford now The last thing I'll say is it all depends on who you are So here's my recommendation take it leave it what have you if you're single and you don't have kids and this is not something You're doing the next two three years. What have you there's zero reason to buy a house unless you're some expert realtor, professional real estate guy. If you have a family and you have kids, this is a different, this is a difficult situation because you're probably going to need three bedrooms at least. Um, you're going to need space for the kids,

Starting point is 00:13:00 for the family. If your in-laws come in, what have you. So I totally understand that component. And the last thing I'll say about real estate, Rob, I think I sent you something, Pat brought this up the other day about the investment of it. The stock market doubles what you'll receive in terms of- Is that what you're saying? Yes, exactly. That's so funny.

Starting point is 00:13:22 I'm looking at the same thing. Okay, perfect. Because we talked about this. So the beauty of real estate is you can touch it, you can hold it, you can feel it. A lot of people don't understand the stock market. There's people listening out there, they're like, dude, I don't know, bulls, bears, red, green, up, down, I have no clue, but I understand what a house is, and I understand what touching it and feeling it a property is. So if you look at this report, Rob, so 9.8% is historical return, so basically 10%.

Starting point is 00:13:52 Where's real estate? 4.2%. So it's literally a double bet, more than double to put yourself in the stock market. Now again, it's lifestyle, it's emotional. I get it. Let me show this, Rob, on this same slide, that's the one you want to go to. That's the one you want to go to. So check this out. So if you go to 30s, go to real estate, 30s, the entire decade, you would have made minus 1.2% of real estate. Of course we know why. The big crash. 40s, you would have made 8.1% annual rate of return. 50s, three, 60s, two, 70s, eight, seven,

Starting point is 00:14:19 80s, 5.9, 90s, two, seven, 2000s, four, 2010, three, eight. Look at that for three decades, it was 4% or less. 2020 it's what? 10.2. What happened to the next decade after we had an eight plus? Go to the eight plus decade, what do you see? Three, two, go to the other eight plus decade,

Starting point is 00:14:42 what do you see? Five, nine, two, seven, 4, 3, 8. So we may have just had the greatest decade ever in real estate. It's not going to follow up by another 10.2, folks. If that's what people are looking for, that's not what the follow-up is going to be. There's going to be a bit of a fall. And if you can look at all the other stuff, by the way, you can look at cash, you can look at stocks. On the stock side, you'll see minus.985, 19.577, 17.3, 18, minus 1, 13.4, 11.9. Four out of the last five decades have been in double digits.

Starting point is 00:15:17 By the way, last night a guy sends me an act and he's asking me about financial advice. I said, first of all, let me start off by saying even though I was a financial advisor for 20 years, I'm no longer a financial advisor. He says, you know, you talked about, you know, stock market, all this stuff. You talked about crypto, bitcoin, gold. Where should I put my money if the cash is going to take a massive hit? I said here's what I would suggest to you. How do you feel about AI? How revolutionary do you think AI is going to be in business? And who do you think AI will impact the most? If you actually think about it, who's AI going to impact the most?

Starting point is 00:15:54 Positive or negative? Positively. Who's going to impact the most? Business owners and… Okay, so specifically who though? Fortune 500 companies? Big time. Right.

Starting point is 00:16:04 Business owners? Because they have the ability, those who adjust and put money into AI, they're gonna blow up. How much are they gonna blow up? What's happening to Nvidia? What's happening to these? Nvidia was a $10 billion company just a decade ago, 14 years ago. It's a $3.3 trillion company right now.

Starting point is 00:16:21 What does that look like? But this is the part. If somebody's watching right now and they believe AI is going to revolutionize the way we do business, you have one of three options. Either one, apply it in your day-to-day life, either two, work for a company that is leveraging AI and participate on the upside, or three, go out there and start a business that's AI. But for some of you guys that are watching and saying, what if I'm none of that stuff? Guess what?

Starting point is 00:16:51 Invest in equities. This is, I'm not giving you advice as a financial advisor. This varies to everybody else. Equities is gonna go for the next 10, 20 years if you believe in AI. Simply if you believe AI is going to revolutionize the game in a major way. A part of the PowerPoint that we were talking about on the AI webinar with the white paper we gave everybody that was on, we put 300 hours of research into

Starting point is 00:17:15 it. It talks about every single time manufacturing came out, who took a hit. It shows how many cars they were able to produce with the technology advancement, but AI is gonna take this thing to levels We've never seen before and what will AI affect basic question will AI affect gold No, will AI affect real estate? No, will AI affect cash? No, will AI affect Bitcoin crypto? Yes. Yes, maybe will AI affect equities all day long Of course, of course So I think I'm very Bullish on what AI is gonna do to the market. So for some that are saying real estate again

Starting point is 00:17:55 Five ten years family kids that's gonna happen and do your thing But if not, you know, don't don't count out equities because there's a lot of guys making money right now in equities If not, you know, don't count out equities, because there's a lot of guys making money right now on equities. Because you were talking about, Adam, somebody like, put yourself in my shoes. Veterans, so I got no down payment, that's what Tom was talking about. I'm planning on, you know, kids, marriage, all that stuff within these three years. You know, we saw that the prices are starting to drop in Florida, Tom. Like, I thought maybe now would be the time to start looking, Tom, and get that, especially

Starting point is 00:18:24 if that's where I'm looking to be why not pull The trigger a little bit earlier Maybe and what we're gonna do is we'll get together and we'll get smart We'll get smart about the neighborhood smart about the candidate properties smart about the HOA you can be smart You can have two you could have two townhouses on the same street one is an 800 HOA one is a 400 HOA Those kind of costs will chase you around. So get smart about it and you can find optimized opportunities. Let's go to the next one. Have babies for Russia. Putin presses women to embrace patriotism over feminism.

Starting point is 00:18:54 Russia's Vladimir Putin has urged women to prioritize childbirth over careers to grow Russia's population, stating many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had seven or eight children and maybe even more we should preserve and revive these wonderful traditions. Putin has linked this push to national security, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine, as he seeks to forge a militarized, nationalist society rooted in orthodox Christianity. By the way, this is a shot, this is not a positive article about him. WAPO is trying to go after him, right? Putin's policies are seen as rolling back women's rights with Russian feminists and human rights advocates criticizing the emphasis on traditional family values.

Starting point is 00:19:35 Let me just read that, Wapo. You wrote this. Let me read this sentence to you one more time, folks. Please, I just want you to hear how these guys spin this idea here. Listen, Putin's policies are seen as rolling back women's rights with Russian feminists and human rights advocates criticizing the emphasis on traditional values. What? Emphasis on traditional family values?

Starting point is 00:20:01 Health Minister Mikhail Murashko and Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana have promoted early childbirth with Golivka asserting, the earlier the first child is born, the earlier the second and third will be. Despite efforts to promote large families, Russia's birthrate continues to decline with 1.26 million children born in 2023, lowest since 1999. Tom, I got a lot of thoughts on this, but I want to go to you first. What's on your mind? So, you know, a cynical person could say, oh, well, you know, he sent all these young men to die in the war and it's been terrible.

Starting point is 00:20:35 And then, you know, depending on, you know, who you believe of how many hundreds of thousands of soldiers are permanently crippled or been killed, he's just trying to replace the soldier network. I don't think so. I think Putin is ahead of the rest of the West on pointing out if I don't get the right people having babies in my country, in my country, said Putin, then I'm gonna lose my country

Starting point is 00:21:00 and I don't wanna lose my country. So say what you will about Putin, say what you will about things. He certainly has things to be you know picked on and things that are a little bit crazy But you know what he is saying the same thing that we were saying There any given country if the leader is calling out the right people to have babies what he's trying to do is sustain his country He's not trying to roll women's back He's trying to get people have families and he's quoting facts our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had seven or eight children You know, that's truth. That's what it was and that what's what built up built up Russia, you know, I look at this That's that's what I think I got him. So the question is

Starting point is 00:21:44 Why do people on the right in America admire Vladimir Putin? Think about that for a second, because we're in a proxy war with Putin in Ukraine, and there's a whole conversation to be had about how people feel about Ukraine. But why do people on the right, especially in the MAGA camp, actually align with Putin? because he actually still stands for traditional family values. And there's an argument to be had why this brutal dictator KGB man who we should not be admiring in the West, who would love to see the decline of America, why there is such admiration for a guy like this is because he's standing for the things that people of tradition believe people of the Judeo-Christian faith, especially Christian

Starting point is 00:22:28 faith, people with family values actually stand for. And we're seeing this declination of traditional family values, which we've talked about so many times here, lack of community, lack of religion, lack of family, lack of kids, and this selfish search for money. But he actually saying what a lot of people's minds forget about the fact that if you dissent with him, he'll just kill you end up with a little out the window somehow or a little poison rail that but he does stand for what a lot of people actually want in their life. And the difference between what happens in America versus Russia is there's no identity politics there.

Starting point is 00:23:06 From what I understand, they're not playing the gender ideology game. You're not going to get canceled for saying this. He's come out pretty hardcore on the LGBTQ agenda. So the progressive feminist that's sort of taking over the West, America, Scandinavian countries, Canada, what have you, he's like, yeah, we're not playing this game. So I do understand why there's a lot of alignment with Putin, although he is a bad dude. I mean, everyone, how many leaders are every bleeder has to make bad decisions and do bad things and bomb people just like our leaders have done in the past. But the message of guys, let's

Starting point is 00:23:39 the numbers, Adam was always talking about the number screaming. The numbers are screaming, we need they just in general We need to start having more children Bob put them I all that negative stuff But the people of Russia love this guy and it's because of that type of attitude and he should be pushing back Rob, what is what is that? Can you zoom into that real quick? So ideal number of children for rush this is ideal or this is current situation because is ideal or this is current situation? This was in the WAPO article.

Starting point is 00:24:04 Can't hear you Rob. I don't know if your mic is working buddy. So who said ideal? Ideal number of children according to who? I believe WAPO, this is the chart that was in the WAPO article. But what does that mean though? Ideal. Like ideal, making sure so, Putin has restored

Starting point is 00:24:20 having 10 children or more, etc. Ideal number of children for Russia. Okay, so right now their birth rate, if you type in Russia's current birth rate is 1.49, give or take, that's two, three years ago, but that's what I see, 1.49. Can you type in, okay, oh, fantastic, go to that, look at that chart, that's exactly the chart I wanted you to go. Go all the way back.

Starting point is 00:24:44 Okay, no, stay where you're at. Fantastic. Go to that. Look at that chart. That's exactly the chart I wanted. Go all the way back. Okay, no, stay where you're at. U.S. right now is what? 1.66. Russia is 1.49. Ukraine is 1.16. Right? So meaning Russia and Ukraine in the last 60 years, go back 60 years, they were at 2.5

Starting point is 00:25:01 to Ukraine, 2.2. But look at U.S to Ukraine, 2.2. But look at the US, look at the 60s. We went from 3.65 in the 60s to go mid 70s, where we fell behind them. Where were we at? 1.74. Then we went up to 2 and then now we're at the lowest we've ever been in the history of America. Okay?

Starting point is 00:25:25 Ever been. Last night, I'm at the house, did a podcast with Russell Peters and he comes and we have a cigar and then ends up being two. And then we're thinking we're going to finish up by 10 o'clock, you know, after having dinner at Casa D'Angelo. We said let's go to 11 o'clock, 10 o'clock. Ends at 1, 1.15 is when we wrap up and then he gets and he heads out to Tampa because he's performing I think this weekend or something like that in Tampa.

Starting point is 00:25:52 You know what the entire conversation was about? Having kids, having families, you know how much work it is to have kids, do you want to have kids, is it good, is it bad? We talked about LGBTQ, we talked about who's a positive to society. Until a society doesn't change who they turn into heroes, people are not going to have kids. If you reckon whatever a country recognizes, that's what kids are going to do. In the podcast, Russell Peters, that's going to come out. Here's what he says to me. He says, my 11 year, that's going to come out, here's what he says to me.

Starting point is 00:26:25 He says, my 11-year-old daughter, he lives in LA, my 11-year-old daughter came up to me and she said, hey daddy, I said what? I think I'm a boy. He says, what do you mean? I think I'm a boy. I want to transition into a boy. You're not a boy. Trust me, you're not a boy.

Starting point is 00:26:43 No, I'm a boy. And then he's like, oh, here we go. So then next year, 12-year-old, she comes to him and she says, you know, I actually, I'm not, I don't want to be a boy. I'm a lesbian at 12 years old. And then 13 years old, which is the current now, he talks about this openly. She says, you know what? I'm actually bi, okay? He says the good news is at this point she's on track to being straight by the time she's 18,

Starting point is 00:27:09 right, so obviously it's a good bit, but at the same time he's telling the story. And I said, are you bullshitting or are you being serious? He says, no, I'm being dead serious. I said, when you and I were 12, 13 years old, did we know what it was to be bi or what it was when we went to school? He says, I don't know any of this kind of stuff.

Starting point is 00:27:26 I said, yeah, me neither. He went to school in Toronto. It's not like we went to school in the same place. At 11, 12 years old, I went to school in Germany and Glendale, California. We knew nothing about this kind of stuff, right? Now the recognition is of what it is to be part of the LGBTQ community, all this other stuff, right? And again, we've talked, I'm going to beat this like a freaking, I'm going to talk about it so many times until

Starting point is 00:27:49 everyone starts asking this question. Father's Day one day, Mother's Day one day, LGBTQ nearly 150 days per year dedicated. Does that make any sense to you? That's how America goes from how many kids, can you go back to it again, from 3.65 to now being at 1.66. So the fact that Russia is getting up there and talking about this and they're at 1.49, bringing back family values, and I'm asking last night the question, I'm like, wait a minute, how much more important are you to society than LGBTQ? You can't say that.

Starting point is 00:28:24 No, I can't say that. You have a harder job to be a father. It's a harder job to be a mother. This is not about the recognition. So the lesser country promotes that and they don't turn fathers and mothers into heroes. People are not going to want to have kids. Here's a question for you. Governors, I used to talk about, when's the last time you saw a governor recommend books for people to read? When's the last time you saw a president?

Starting point is 00:28:47 When's the last time a president got up? I'm actually asking a real question. I've asked this many times. Tell me when's the last time a president got up and says, I believe everybody in America needs to stop doing whatever they're doing right now and go read Rich That, Poor That, go read Cash Flow Quadrant, go read whatever book on money. When's the last time you saw a president say, go read Think and Grow Rich. Go read Laws of Success. Go read As a Man Think It. Go read The Millionaire Next Door.

Starting point is 00:29:10 When's the last time a president recommended a book? When's the last time? JFK maybe? And then what do presidents do behind closed doors? What do you think they're doing? They're reading. Now here's the other part. When's the last time you saw them recognizing fathers and mothers?

Starting point is 00:29:28 And how hard it is to be a father and a mother. Actually when's the last time you saw that recognition? When's the last time? When's the last time you saw somebody recognizing what it is to be a father and a mother? Now when's the last time you saw them recognizing and maybe even launching their presidential campaign on a RuPaul show. Did you see that? Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:47 On a RuPaul show. This guy named, this lady named, Indian lady named Kamala Harris who did that, right? On RuPaul's show. So what happened there? What's that all about? What are you advertising? What is this advertising? What is the Olympics advertising?

Starting point is 00:30:03 They're advertising this. Are they advertising, hey, to all the parents out there who have kids and to all the kids, I want to start off by telling you, all kids, we all start off with dreams. Every one of these kids had a parent that supported them in them becoming gymnasts, in them becoming runners, in them becoming this. When's the last time that message? Hey, every one of these, some of you kids that are watching this, that your parents take you to practices, that your parents drive you on the weekends, that your parents take

Starting point is 00:30:27 you on travel teams, make sure you tell your parents you love them. Make sure you tell your parents you're thankful for them. Make sure you tell your parents that they're amazing for doing what they're doing. They're taking time away from each other. They're putting time into you. That tells you how much they love you. Why aren't we getting a message like that to edify parents and the kids that are giving their best?

Starting point is 00:30:44 Why are we not doing that? That's the problem. So good for Putin for going back to family values, traditional family values. And by the way, to the folks at WAPO and all these other people that want feminist values, if America doesn't go back to family values, this will be a very different place very soon, especially with the rate we're going right now. And, P.B., a great point, and if you think about it, it's not as if they're hiding the agenda.

Starting point is 00:31:11 When you have people from the World Economic Forum, you have Klaus Schwab, you have Bill Gates saying that the number one problem in this, in our society is what? Overpopulation. It's not as if it's a secret thing that they're trying to push. That's why all these people are backing it. That's why the presidential nominee is sitting in front of a root drag race, RuPaul thing to kick off her campaign. You know what I mean? It's not even hiding. Look at the Olympics. Look at everything. Everything is this push and it's like you can be a strong independent woman. You don't need no man. You don't need no this.

Starting point is 00:31:42 No, no, we're going to be extinct at this rate we're gonna be extinct it's I'd like to not correct you but I want to amplify something yeah the WAF is not saying the population is a problem they're saying depopulation is necessary yeah and there is a there's a gap there it's it's like the Germans saying hey you know we believe that Jewish people in our society are causing problems, versus the Germans saying, hey, for a more perfect Aryan nation, we're going to round them up and exterminate them. That is completely different.

Starting point is 00:32:13 And that is what the WAF is talking about. They're talking about depopulation. And so, you know, you cannot applaud how Putin executes his leadership. It's pretty brutal and pretty horrifying. But what he is saying about what they hold dear, and if you read about it, the average Russian will tell you what they refer to as Mother Russia. They have a deep love for their country, but they have deep disdain for a lot of their leadership.

Starting point is 00:32:39 Gee, that kind of sounds familiar if you got together with a Russian person and say, do you love your country? I love my country and what it all represents. I remember this is where I grew up. I have disdain for my leadership Guess what we have something common dude. Yeah weird. Yeah, I just add one more thing So you remember a few months ago? There was the the speech that this guy Harrison Butcher made yeah where In the past if he said ladies, you know, enjoy being mothers have a family support your man Like live your life like that would not have been a controversial speech,

Starting point is 00:33:06 but in the day that we're living in today, oh my God, he's enemy, public enemy number one, he's racist, his massage is crazy. So just this, we're living in this time where if you believe in traditional values, you're the bad guy. And I fully agree with Pat on the hero making machine. You know, you see when you came and you dress up as a trans person and came on my show, you said something very fitting. You're like, trans is the new trend Adam. Yeah. And it is. And You know, you see when you came and you dress up as a trans person who came on my show, you said something very fitting. You're like trans is the new trend, Adam. Yeah. And it is. And you know, we had the conversation about Bill Maher and kind of where he's at. Remember the stat I sent

Starting point is 00:33:34 it to Rob about what percentage of generations of five generations of are basically now identify as LGBT. The numbers are looking in the wrong direction. So, you know, the baby boomers, 1%, Gen X, 2%, Millennials, 5%, 10%, Gen Z, now almost 20% identify with this LGBT movement. So we're trending in the wrong direction. Yes. And by the way, they almost depopulated one additional person who was a former president. They try to do that. But active acting Secret Service Director hurt by counter-sniper's email ripping leadership after Trump's shooting. By the way, the back and forth with Josh Hawley,

Starting point is 00:34:12 which we want to show this clip to you. We're gonna show you two clips. So let me just read this to you and I'll go to Rob here. During the Senate hearing, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn confronted acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe over an email from a counter-striker, criticizing the agency's leadership following the July 13th assassination attempt on former President Trump.

Starting point is 00:34:31 The email stated, this agency needs to change and if not now, when? The next assassination in 30 days and claim the U.S. secret service motto is CYA, cover your ass. Rowe responded, I'm hurt because my people are hurting right now. Rob, play this clip and then we'll go to the other one as well, go for it. Introducing TD Insurance for Business

Senator, so I am hurt by that email, but not in the way you think I'm saying it. I'm hurt because my people are hurting right now. We need them. Then why did somebody delete the email?

Starting point is 00:36:04 I'll get back to you on that. The agency deleted the email. But may I address your question? Yes, please. And I will get back to you as to whether the email was deleted or not. My agency is hurting. Emotions are raw.

Starting point is 00:36:20 I actually want to hear more from that duty officer, that technician. In his email, he referenced that he had spent time serving our nation as a United States Marine, that he is a 20-year professional of the Secret Service. I am committed to being a change agent, meaning I am committed to reviewing some of these things. I looked at the points in his email very quickly. I saw it as I was on my way over here this morning. I wanna have further conversations, not only with him, but also the counter-assignment.

Starting point is 00:36:59 Supervisors. If I may step back in. Literally, it's filibustering. Oh my God. It's filibustering. They deleted the email. Go ahead, Ron. Do you have the Josh Hawley one? Yes, this one's more explosive. Go ahead. Insurance. And as opposed to zeroing in on one or two individuals, we want to find out exactly what the decision making process was. What more

Starting point is 00:37:16 do you need to investigate to know that there were critical enough failures that some individuals ought to be held accountable? I mean, what more do you need to know? What I need to know is exactly what happened, and I need my investigators to do their job, and I cannot put my thumb on the scale. Otherwise, the objective... You're asking me, Senator, to completely make a rush to judgment about somebody failing. I acknowledge this was a failure of the secret service.

Starting point is 00:37:43 Is it not prima facie that somebody has failed? The former president was shot. Sir, this could have been our Texas school book depository. I have lost sleep over that for the last 17 days, just like you have. Then fire somebody. It's a whole bit accountable. I will tell you, Senator,

Starting point is 00:37:58 that I will not rush to judgment, that people will be held accountable, and I will do so with integrity and not rush to judgment and put people unfairly persecuted. Unfairly persecuted? Unfairly sir. We have to be able to have a proper investigation into this Senator. You said earlier that you've got to make sure that your protocols are followed and unless there's a protocol violation people wouldn't be disciplined. I would just say to you I don't really care that much about your protocols. I think if your protocols don't provide for the

Starting point is 00:38:29 fact that when a former president is shot, when an American is killed, when other rallygoers, innocent people who just showed up on the day when they are shot at and critically wounded, if that isn't a protocol violation prima facie you should revise your protocols. Senator I think this is where you and I agree. This was a failure and we will get to the bottom of it. Well, I hope you're going to do something about it. Let me ask you something else. The RealClearPolitics reports this morning that you were directly involved in denying

Starting point is 00:38:59 additional security resources and personnel, including counter snipers, not just to this event, but over the last two years that President Trump's team repeatedly asked for these additional resources and you personally were involved in denying them. Is that true? Senator, as I stated earlier, that is not true. So you never denied any resources to former President Trump's team? No, not me. And you weren't involved in any of that? You were never involved in the decision making? No sir, I was not. Let me ask you just one or two other things here quickly. Whistleblowers tell me that in fact law enforcement were stationed to be on that roof and that law enforcement abandoned their post because it was too hot. Is that accurate?

Starting point is 00:39:40 Senator, I have heard that as well. Again... You can pause this right now. I mean, you see Josh Hawley's pushing him. By the way, another story comes out right after this talking about the fact that Secret Service sniper warns another assassination attempt could be imminent as agencies failures are exposed. We all should expect another attempt to happen before November. We've exposed our inability to protect our leaders due to our leadership, Warren's Secret Service sniper and letter adding this agency

Starting point is 00:40:08 needs to change, if not now, when the next assassination attempt in 30 days. Veteran agent criticized supervisors. Sadly, we have fallen short for years. Is this it Rob?

We just got lucky and look good doing it. I have conveyed these thoughts to not only our supervisors, only to be brushed off as those with less experience somehow knew more than me. Describing the July 13 attack as a stain I will never be able to cleanse. Security failures exposed a full 30-second lapse between when local police officers confronted Gumbin Thomas Crooks and the first shot fired at Trump local cops encircling the building he shot from more than two minutes before the attack. Vinny, when you hear stuff like this, you're hearing Josh Hawley, you're hearing the director of Secret Service, what are you thinking? My opinion is that, listen, incompetence we talked about, gross negligence, whatever

Starting point is 00:41:02 you want to call it, if God forbid Trump was killed We'd be in the same exact place. He'd be in the same spot Kim. Cheetah would be She'd step down Pat. She wouldn't go to prison We'd be exactly where we are and we have a whistleblower coming out by the disguise on the inside He is a Secret Service member saying he will not stop until the five high-level Supervisors are all gone. You know what that means? He doesn't trust any of them because apparently to me, I take it as if they have some, maybe some bias against the president.

Starting point is 00:41:36 To have that type of failure is absolutely unbelievable. And for him to say that it might happen again before November, that should scare the hell out of everybody including Donald Trump like what do you and he's still doing these he just went to PA He was there yesterday and I get it you want to show the force But I mean come on when they're telling you listen you're not secure the head of the Secret Service I mean people in there are not securing you Like what do we talk about? people in there are not securing you. Like, what are we talking about?

Starting point is 00:42:04 They talk about denial. RFK just got it. They just gave a guy whose father and uncle was murdered, murdered, and now they're like, okay, since this guy was almost killed, we're gonna give it to you. It's unbelievable. And the Biden administration took credit

Starting point is 00:42:19 for the decision over Mayorkas to give protection to RFK Jr. So I look at it this way. You know, this is where whistleblowers need to be protected. And usually the authority over them, you know, has the power of their paycheck and their livelihood. And so I think this whistleblower should be, you know, pulled out of the secret service, you Service, given the opportunity to cooperate in exchange for their full pension, and then put in front of the investigative committee so they could testify and prove all the stuff. Because remember, sometimes whistleblowers just have a few words.

Starting point is 00:42:59 Other time whistleblowers have emails, dates, descriptions, conversations, text messages. So if this whistleblower is not just sending some crazy email, if they really have it, then say, guess what? Here's your subpoena. You're going to be before Congress. We are securing your pension and your whistleblower protection. Come on and testify. Now you can get a real investigation going. You see where I'm going here? And let me ask you a question, if you don't mind, Pat. And if there's five people in there, let's get them named. So, but Tom, and I can understand, because think about this, if whistleblowers felt safe

Starting point is 00:43:29 enough to come forward to not worry about, you know, prison or, you know, getting arrests, you know, losing their job. No, no, whistleblowers, it's not the mob. Whistleblowers worry about livelihood, most of all, in corporate America. Oh, yeah, 100%. And unless you're reporting Boeing defects and then you could you know accidentally shoot yourself in the car But for the most part whistleblowers are concerned about their livelihoods

Starting point is 00:43:51 So go into my point and abilities support their family shouldn't there be an organization like I'm talking about like a legitimate prominent organization That has something set up for whistleblowers that obviously people obviously you have to pay for do it's called FBI witness protection and it's also called congressional committees. Tom I wouldn't trust the FBI at all at this point at all. I'm saying I'm saying an independent place Pat think about this an independent organization that we know we fund and where if you come up Adam and you have you're a credible whistleblower we fact-check we do a background we know you know you could prevent an assassination attempt on the President United States United States, we'll take care of you. The fund will take care of you to get you back on your feet because we need to hear

Starting point is 00:44:29 this. Imagine the people, Tom, that knew, that knew the security failure and we're hearing it right now, if they had come out earlier and said, hey guys, at this event, do not let President Trump go up. They're failing to put snipers on this roof. They're going to do this, they're going to do that, we already have a Patsy, I'd want to know that beforehand as a whistleblower and to know that I'd be protected monetarily my future if I did it. Well that's the line of conspiracy that gets really, really sticky.

Starting point is 00:44:56 On one hand do you say did the Secret Service to incompetence and lack of good oversight just absolutely fumble on what's happened. Is that it? That's possible. That's very possible. That, guess what? There weren't 10 shooters, there weren't all this stuff. This is what happened. On the other hand, did they intentionally enable it?

Starting point is 00:45:15 That is the Rubicon. Yeah, let me show you. This is the first time Trump's done this, and Gateway Pundit showed this. Yesterday, Trump retweeted, or they call it re-truth, this picture right here. What did you know, and when did you know about it? If you want to know who ordered the assassination attempt,

Starting point is 00:45:36 he says if you want to know who ordered the assassination attempt, he's blaming Ray. Okay, did you hear this? So he's blaming Ray's, you can't see what it's saying below it because that picture's blaming Ray. Okay. Did you hear this? So he's blaming, you can't see what it's saying below it because that picture's covering it. There we go. The FBI director Christopher Ray, Trump appointed. That Trump appointed.

Starting point is 00:45:54 So if you wanna know who ordered the assassination of Donald J. Trump. So now, Trump goes here, yesterday? This is like, I mean, you know this claim. I mean, he stayed pretty not going to speculation neutral, neutral, neutral. But he just went there for the first time yesterday and they reported on it. Adam. No, literally, this is where I was going with this.

Starting point is 00:46:18 So the conversation I would want to have with you guys is, is this Josh Hawley and the acting, uh, secret service director, Ronald Rowe, is this a conversation that's a net positive or a net negative for society? The conversation that they're having, is it a net positive? I think I think it's positive for sure. Yeah, I fully agree with you because my opinion is that conversation right there is what makes America great. So you know, the famous quote, sunlight is the best disinfectant. This is actually what we need. And they said a few buzzwords that we actually need this discussion because we need accountability

Starting point is 00:46:58 and we need transparency. Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant. He said this was a colossal failure and we need to get to the bottom of it. And the act of secret service literally almost choked up. Did you notice that? Like you got very emotional. If you're testifying to Congress and you choke up, I don't think these guys are professional actor acts like, Oh my God, by the way, he's the acting director. Kimberly Cheeto was just what stepped down what three days ago, five days ago, whatever the number was

Starting point is 00:47:29 This is what makes America great. Why we just talked about Putin You think they're having this conversation in Russia when Navalny ends up dead No, it's just yesterday's news or the guy that gets shot down. What was his name? Whatever his name was the guy that ran the Wagner group. He's not even a discussion anymore gone dead You think they're having this conversation in Venezuela with Maduro? You think she's having this conversation? You think the Ayatollahs are having this conversation? This is what makes America great. Democracy is ugly, but at least we get to see it and there's transparency right there.

Starting point is 00:47:57 Last point to bring it back home to what Pat said, the Warren commission. You brought this up the other day, Tom. The Warren commission was basically to get to the bottom of who the hell killed JFK, right? This is the Warren Commission, but with JFK alive, being Donald Trump. You don't think he has some vested interest in finding out the truth? Who tried to shoot him in the face? Yeah. Exactly. But when you say we want to get to the bottom of that, and people have to realize though, we've been trying to get to the bottom of the JKF assassination since 1963 there's still documents that we can't see because it would ruin the CIA and ruin the FBI so this type of thing it just frustrates the average American like me because we know this

Starting point is 00:48:37 isn't going to lead to anything because how many hearings how many Fauci hearings how many do we have to hear as Americans where we are basically controlled opposition we go yeah yeah yell at Fauci hearings, how many do we have to hear as Americans where we are basically controlled opposition. We go, yeah, yeah, yell at Fauci. And then what Adam? The guy's walking around with secret service protection. So people like me, the angry patriot, I'm angry, I'm frustrated because this is happening and we love it.

Starting point is 00:48:57 Yeah, yeah, hold his foot to the fire. And then what? But here's my point. Yeah, I agree with you. But here's where you're actually wrong. Go ahead. Because if Trump actually gets elected, you don't think he's going to have some vested interest in the one word you're

Starting point is 00:49:08 talking about. Accountability. So if Trump gets elected and he's like, all right, let's figure out who tried to kill me. You don't think he's going to try to figure that out? Do you think the presidents know who killed JFK? Do you think they actually, I think Donald Trump knows, he saw all the documents. You think Obama knows? You think Biden knows? Biden doesn't know anything, but going back to my point is Trump, Adam, whoever these guys... The reason that they want Trump gone, period, killed, whatever the hell they want, because he's going to release what you said.

Starting point is 00:49:37 But be careful what you're saying, Vin. Because if you're saying that every president knows, that means you're saying that every single president, Republican, Democrat is lying to you. They all lie. That That were all these politicians. By the way, if they're part of the establishment, yes, of course. If they're part of the establishment, absolutely. They do. What about Trump though? He knows.

Starting point is 00:49:57 So, if they're part of the establishment, they're not going to give the answer. By the way, question for you. What's your percentage, Tom, of the fact that there's going to be another assassination attempt between now and November 5th? What's your percentage? Where are you at? I am nervously 50-50. I'm serious. I'm nervously 50-50. Because when you get everybody revved up and you say these kind of things in the media you enable Weak-minded lone wolves And and i'm really i'm really worried so i'm nervously 50 50 i'm at 70 30 and you know why?

Starting point is 00:50:35 Because the reason they have to stop him they have to stop him pat he has Adam you nailed it all the documents all the crossfire all the He's and you said it what the year of investigation, the moment he gets in, it's retribution time. And that's what they're petrified. Obama, all of them, they all spied, they all, he's going to go after everybody 70 30. Adam, well, the likelihood that somebody is going to try to do something very high in the eighties, nineties, whether it's going to happen, I would hope that it's very low you know Trump he was given the opportunity to basically say yet no more

Starting point is 00:51:09 outdoor rallies he's like now I'm going to do it so you're dealing with a guy who's basically saying yeah I don't care what you want me to do step your game up I literally believe those are his words like do better so outdoor rallies indoor rallies they better come full protection mode because there's no doubt some people don't want to see this guy to become the president. Where you at? What's your number? I'm at five to ten percent was where I'm at and by the way that that they'll actually pull it off and succeed at it. I do think there's gonna be some very weird things happening that

Starting point is 00:51:44 we never thought about that could be out of control of him for them to spin it and say, oh my God, that is so terrible and how this took place. This is so devastating, but because of this, we have to go to XYZ and this is what's going to be because they can't play this again the next four months. They cannot. If they do it, I mean that's audacity if they do it. If they do do it, that's a lot of audacity for them.

Starting point is 00:52:10 And in regards to Trump still going out, that's why he's got the loyal following that he has. Because he's got the brass to go out when you tell him and say, wait, you want me to play scared? You want me to play for what they want me to do? You want me to be like, yeah, I'm going to be in the basement like the previous guy that was so scared hiding? I'm not that guy. You voted for me because I'm getting out there talking to people and that's why he gets the followership that he does. I have to push back on that. You can't.

Starting point is 00:52:36 I agree with you. You can't. But we talked about this Tuesday. Trump doesn't need to go do those rallies because what percentage of people that show up to those rallies already voting for Trump? 99.999 they're voting for him. He's preaching to the choir and Listen, this is how he made his brand. He probably loves it, right? He doesn't do this because he loves it and I get that but you're not in the preaching to the choir business anymore Trump You are now in the conversion business So how are you going to convert people? Because right now Trump's ceiling and floors 42%, 44%, how are you

Starting point is 00:53:09 gonna get to 50%? How are you gonna get the independence? How are you gonna get the women? That's what he needs to do. So the rallies are great, I love it, I understand, but you're getting exposed, maybe getting shot, but you're not converting anybody at that rally. He's not going to stop doing that. A part of that strategy of converting is not to convert, it's for the American people to compare. That's why you do the rallies. This transitions perfectly into this next story that I'll read to you from Jamie Dimon.

Starting point is 00:53:39 Rob, if you want to pull this up, I'll just read the article. Literally, I'm going to read the article to you, And this tells you exactly why he's going to continue. Story comes out yesterday. JP Morgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon, says business travel is essential for leaders who don't want to fail. Okay? Who don't want to fail. Rob, if you want to go out, I just want to go through it.

Starting point is 00:54:00 Business travel, a long-term, vital part of a CEO's job. He is the CEO of America. Is rebounding for pre-pandemic norms, deciding to increase on the end for one good reason. JP Morgan admits he's constantly on the road because executives must prioritize face-to-face interactions with their employees, customers, and clients. You can replace those words if you go to the top again. Face-to-face interactions with their voters, with their base. Go to the top again. Face-to-face interactions with their voters, with their base. Go to the next one.

Starting point is 00:54:29 Leaders have to get out. They have to get out all the time. They have to be curious. Ask a million questions. He recently said on LinkedIn, this is a working series. Corporate travel, according to Diamond, also allows leaders to identify and learn from competitors about their company's market position as well as clients' need and criticism.

Starting point is 00:54:49 I always tell a client, when you complain to us, you're doing us a favor. If we're torturing you, we're probably torturing another 10,000 or 100,000 people. Right? Meaning if you're not happy with us, we're probably doing it to others as well. The banking chief swatted away the excuse from any leader who thinks they're too busy to leave their desks or maybe just work 10 to 4, if you know anybody that only works 10 to 4. Or maybe even somebody that has never visited the border but she's also never visited Europe.

Starting point is 00:55:16 I mean, what's the big deal, right? They're making a huge mistake. If you don't have an accurate assessment of the real world out there, what's changing, what they're doing, what the ideas are, you will eventually fail. Companies with such leaders become stagnant, bureaucratic, and complacent. The opposite of those attributes said the Wall Street Titan is curiosity, grit, and heart. Who do you think about when you think about those three?

Starting point is 00:55:40 Curiosity, grit, and heart. Reminds me of somebody that's running for office. He cited the bank's venture into AI around 2012. That year he sent his top consumer banking team to China and set up meetings with major companies including Ping An, WeChat, Tencent and Alibaba. You can imagine how it opens their eyes, said Diamond. They didn't realize what's going on over there in terms of super apps and so it changes your own ability of what you can do here.

Starting point is 00:56:10 The CEO said he's often amazed by how many leaders lack a realistic assessment of what's going on beyond their limited scope in both the public and the private sector. This leads to creation of poor policies. Again, that's politics to me. Complacency in politics is the petri dish of death. And the antidote to that is that you're always learning, always curious. I mean, I can continue reading this article. This is what he is doing, going out there. Imagine he's sitting there saying, oh my God, you know, by the way, during the

Starting point is 00:56:41 pandemic, go through the last four years, how many banks did Chase pick up? How many banks did Chase buy? What does Chase rank as the safest bank right now worldwide to have your money in? What did Chase do? How many deals did they do? How many companies did they buy? This is the part of Trump where he's out there shaking cans, talking to people, and you have to sit on the opposite side

Starting point is 00:57:05 and see if the other person's doing it or not. By the way, you know who Trump is thinking about for his, type in Donald Trump and then type in Jamie Dimon. Type in Donald Trump, Jamie Dimon, zoom in. Jamie Dimon is being considered for the Treasury Secretary, but now says he doesn't know who said that. Of course, he's supposed to say he doesn't know who said that. Of course, he's supposed to say he doesn't know who said that. But imagine this, they don't have to agree politically with each other, but there's

Starting point is 00:57:33 a lot in common there. Tom, what do you think about the story with Jamie Dimon and him talking about leaders working? Well, Jamie Dimon has always been the leader of leaders in the banking community. When you look at where JP Morgan chases and you drop down to B of A and Goldman and everybody else, there is a huge drop from first to second. And you're correct. Diamond has put chase in position, there was always being opportunistic so he can grow. Well, he's also picking up failed banks that are protecting the customers of those banks where you can say, but in being a capitalist, is he saving that bank and the

Starting point is 00:58:05 services that are going to the businesses and people there? Sure he is. But I think he's absolutely right. If I may, we were in, I won't say the name unless you want to say the name, Pat and I were in New York with one of the four senior leaders of the US banking industry. And he said they expect their people to show up, be with each other, be with the customers and have commitment and grit. It was the same list and people talking about coming together.

Starting point is 00:58:32 But I think this is Diamond showing leadership. I think he's showing his superior management and how he's grown it. And I think he's also showing why if he ends up being Treasury Secretary, you know, there's been a lot of people going to say, oh, he's going to favor chase and everything. But you go take a look. I think he would be one of the very strong candidates to do that and do it right for the benefit of the American economy. Adam, so do I agree with Jamie Dimon? Yeah, you bet. And there's a lot of lessons that I've learned from PBD and what you've done with special with the Lincoln on leadership, basically circulating the troops.

Starting point is 00:59:05 We learned this during COVID, you know, what companies boomed during COVID and what companies fell, um, where's zoom stock these days because I don't know if you could pull that up, right? I doubt it looks as good as it was in 2020. It's probably plummeted, but I think we've all understand the necessity of being around people and touching people. I mean, kudos to you. I mean, we're about to do the vault in a month.

Starting point is 00:59:26 That's because we want to be around thousands of thousands of our fans and friends and colleagues, everything like that. Everything you do with the SLS, everything you do with the business planning workshop, everything you do with the live events. We want to be in the same room. Totally understand that, you know, where it comes to Trump. And this is where we kind of were talking about in the last segment is there is a difference between home games and away

Starting point is 00:59:47 games. Home games are easy, man. You're playing in front of your crowd. That's what a Trump rally is. You got to give Trump credit. He'll go play away games and that's the toughest thing to do. How do you win on the road? You don't see Biden doing the away game thing. Kamala, she's going on RuPaul doing her thing. Good luck going on Fox News, Kamala. Trump will show up to CNN. He'll show up to MSNBC. He'll show up to the, what was the thing he just argued with the black journalists, whatever it was? That's exactly what we're going to do now.

Starting point is 01:00:15 You got to respect that. I don't know any Democrat out there other than Bernie Sanders that will show up anywhere. So let's see if Kamala has the chutzpah, as they say, to show up on, thank you, to show up on away games. And that's the difference. Rob, why don't you pull that up actually. National Association of Black Journalists, and he's there and the lady starts off with this question. And if you haven't already seen this,

Starting point is 01:00:36 I'll let you react to it. Go for it, Rob. Watch him reaction as he's listening. I wanna start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former president Barack Obama saying that they were not born in the United States which is not true. You have told four

Starting point is 01:00:58 congresswoman women of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from. You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that? Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question, so in such a horrible manner, a first question. You don't even say, hello, how are you? Are you with ABC?

Starting point is 01:01:35 Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network. Good, he's back. And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of this country. I've done so much for the black population of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina. Okay, he's back. That's where it ended.

Starting point is 01:02:04 Rob, is there another clip you got? Do you have the water bottle clip? Anyways, play a different clip if you got them. We'll get to the water bottle clip. This one is also one that has been all over Twitter. This is where Trump talks about Kamala Harris and her ethnicity. That's right. Go for it.

Starting point is 01:02:20 Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill, have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the first black and Asian American woman to serve as vice president beyond a major party ticket as a D. E. I. Higher. Is that acceptable language to you? And will you tell those Republicans and those supporters to stop it? How do you how do you define D. E. I. Go ahead. How do you diversity, equity, inclusion? Okay, yeah, go ahead. Is that what your definition? That is literally the words. Give me a definition then.

Starting point is 01:02:47 Would you give me a definition of that? GI. Give me a definition of that. Sir, I'm asking you a question. No, no, you have to define it. Very direct question. Define it for me if you would. I just defined it, sir.

Starting point is 01:02:56 Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman? Well, I can say no. I think it's maybe a little bit different. So I've known her a long time indirectly, not directly very much, and she was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know if she Indian or is she black.

Starting point is 01:03:24 She is always identified as a black person in historically black college. I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't. Because she was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went, she became a black person. Just to be clear, sir, do you believe in that? I think somebody should look into that too

Starting point is 01:03:40 when you ask a continuant of very hostile, nasty talent. It's a direct question sir. Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is a DEI hire as some of the public interests say? I really don't know. I mean I really don't know. Could be. Could be.

Starting point is 01:03:54 Oh. All right. I got so much to say on this man. But do you guys realize that he is back and you talked about it on Jesse Waters. This guy's been chill. He's been whatever. But they tried to kill him and he still stayed calm. Now this is the old Donald Trump, he was cool, collected,

Starting point is 01:04:10 and he, did you guys, did you see how bitter and angry, and like she was drooling for this moment to just try to get him, but you can't play with the ultimate, what are you gonna say Rob? Well and to the point, the journalist says that Kamala Harris has always identified herself as a black woman but here's a clip I'll just play it. This is the press. rewind please go back a little bit. Okay so what we're gonna cook today okay is

Starting point is 01:04:35 an Indian recipe yes because yes you are yes yes okay and I don't know that everybody knows that but I find that wherever I go and I see Indian people the supermarket on the street, everyone's like, you know Kamala Harris is Indian, right? It's like our thing we're so excited about to have you running for president. So we're both Indian, but actually we're both South Indian. Yes, you look like the entire one half of my family.

Starting point is 01:04:59 Okay, thank you. You do. I've been telling people you're related already, so this is perfect, It's basically true. And so were you raised eating South Indian food? South Indian food. Isn't that weird though? Isn't it weird that she's been Indian this whole time?

Starting point is 01:05:14 But now because she knows that the black vote's so important, they have to bring Megan Thee Stallion on a stage to twerk in Atlanta in front of thousands of people and the moment Kamala started talking, people started leaving. And this is, I'm sorry I interrupted the first two seconds of that clip. But the point simply is the media is testifying and gaslighting for Harris. Trump has to beat Harris and the entire media. It's the Hillary election all over again.

Starting point is 01:05:45 And this is what he's up against. The biggest difference is it's not just a white woman is now a woman of color. So you know, Pat, she said it right there. She's half Indian, half black, Jamaican. Yeah. Okay. Thank you for clarifying just like Pat is half asyrian half Armenian, but he's born in Iran It's a complicated mix. Yeah, you're a hundred percent Assyrian. Yeah, but your family's from where you're on. So you're Persian

Starting point is 01:06:14 Tom's white but his family's from Canada apparently but he's American. We're all a mix of something Okay, so nationalist, but so here's my to Trump. And it's basically the same conversation we have in that conversation right there. Respect to Trump straight up. He's going to play away games. He's on the road in a hostile environment. We just talked about this. Here's my question. Is that conversation right there?

Starting point is 01:06:39 Think about it. Who's that converting? Did he convert anybody? Did he bring more people to his side? If the answer is yes, then keep doing that, bro. If the answer is no, I would ask you to maybe rethink your approach. Because I'm such in a great place on Trump right now, where, me personally, where I wasn't in the Trump camp, obviously, but I've seen this slow progression of what's happened in the, in the, in the democratic party.

Starting point is 01:07:06 And it literally disgusts me, you know, because they're trying to paint Trump right now as the, the, you know, playing the identity politics, you're playing the color game. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen of the democratic party, you are the Kings and Queens, the ass queen of identity politics. So don't play that game. Like you know, you're Megan the stallion or the home girl, the Indian girl right there, the actress that was on the office. You're the kings and queens of identity politics. So he's playing your game. And by the way,

Starting point is 01:07:35 Trump did say all those things. That's fine. I did say those things. But you have to give them respect for going to play away games. Just like how you gave advice to Trump the other day. My only piece of advice is are you converting people or are you basically pushing people away? That's what he needs to think. And last point, Pat, just being Jamaican. Mike send this to me because Mike's Jamaican. Jamaican isn't African American. I hope people all understand that.

Starting point is 01:07:58 Everyone knows that because they're Jamaican. No, not everybody. They have two different histories. So her playing this whole black card, it, not that they're Jamaican. No, not everybody they have two different histories. So her playing this whole black card It's it's not she's yeah White Jewish guy and a Syrian guy having this conversation is a little ironic funny, but but the Jamaicans whether you want it They're black. Yeah, of course She's saying black. Yeah. Yes, so

Starting point is 01:08:21 Yeah, right there. It says someone who was born in Jamaica and lives in the US might identify as black but not African-American. Yes, because they're not from Africa. By the way, this whole thing, story comes out about Kamala Harris is having the best week of, where's that story at, where her popularity, Harris. Yeah, polling bounce. Big week. The polling bounce that she had, not bouncing on the public public just like polling bounce that she had where it's a

Starting point is 01:08:48 Increase my English is always off a little bit here and there so Kamala Harris is popular Record high Rob. Can you play the clip? I just sent to you Rob play the clip I just sent you because they're telling us she's the greatest of all time and how amazing of a VP was and this is mainstream media pre-Herbian the presidential candidate. Go ahead Rob. Reports to say that you have the lowest approval rating of any vice president. Well there are polls that also say I have great approval ratings. Twitter voters don't like Harris. I'll beg a drag is Kamala Harris on the ticket. She's a pretty big jag. I think she was arguably Biden's worst political decision.

Starting point is 01:09:25 They don't like her. There's lots of reasons they don't like her. Kamala Harris's approval rating is now at 28%, which is an historic low for any modern vice president. We're here to get from mainstream media, one outlet after another, one league after another. That Kamala Harris is the worst vice president ever, the worst politician ever.

Starting point is 01:09:45 We don't see the vice president. What people are saying to me, and I'm sure they're saying it to you, where is the vice president? Some White House officials are feeling that she came off looking unprepared for inevitable questions about when she might visit the southern border. We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border. And I haven't been to Europe. I don't understand the point that you're making. The point that Lester Holt was making was obvious to anyone else who was watching this interview, which is that the issues at the border are inextricably linked with the portfolio that she's been given. The border is secure. We have a secure border.

Starting point is 01:10:24 Biodynamics is working. Prices have gone up and families and individuals are dealing with the realities of... There are reports to say that you have the lowest... By the way, did you see the video of what she said, Rob? I don't know if you guys saw this or not, what she said yesterday. She said, Trump's the reason the border is problematic, but if you vote for me, I will fix the border. She didn't say that.

Starting point is 01:10:58 Are you guys joking? I swear to you. No, no, no, no, no, no. Tell me you're joking. Hang on, hang on, hang on. The media is carrying water. Rob, do me a favor and play this clip. Do me a favor and play this clip.

Starting point is 01:11:08 This is what she just said, and let me see exactly when it was, 730. 730 is what? Two days ago. She just said this. When you see this clip, your angry Patriot side is about to come out. I think you're trolling. I'm telling you, watch this. We're about to sell some shirts.

Starting point is 01:11:24 Watch this. Hang on, hang on, watch. Rewind, rewind, rewind. I want to do it. I'm telling you, watch this. We're about to sell some shirts. Watch this. Donald Trump does not care about border security. Hang on, hang on, watch. I know, rewind, rewind, rewind. I want to do it. Tom, say nothing, Tom. Just listen. Go ahead. Donald Trump does not care about border security.

Starting point is 01:11:34 He only cares about himself. This is an ad by BetterHelp. What are your self-care non-negotiables?

Starting point is 01:12:58 It's so absurd. It's so absurd. Hold on. She's the border czar. You're the emperor of the border. I know she was and she was not the border czar. She was never the border czar. You're the emperor of the border. I know she was and she was not the border czar. She was never the border czar. Yeah, yes, she has been doing that for a week.

Starting point is 01:13:09 I still think about it. It's sad that I have to look to make sure this is an AI generated. But I none of our people believe that there's no way you believe that the media is gaslighting and the media is carrying water for her as I keep saying it and over and over again And guess what? What did Hillary do over and over again? Pick an issue accuse the other person of what you're doing and take credit for the fix Yeah, you know who said that do you know who said that a long time ago? See Rob? I want you to pull this up. No, no, no

Starting point is 01:13:41 I'm gonna show you who said exactly what Tom just said, said that a long time ago. Rob, post that quote up there. Post that quote up there. This is, zoom in, accuse the other side of that which you are guilty, Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minister. Oh boy. Great playbook. They're saying that the other side, Trump is the reason for messing up the border. And by the way, this is all you have to ask yourself. How many people will that work on? Not the fact, no, hear me out, no, no, hear me out. It's actually very important to ask this question. The amount of people, like right there, the people that she's talking to, how many people,

Starting point is 01:14:25 no matter what she says, will sit there and say, she's right? How many people? In Atlanta? 42 to 44 percent. The core. No, no, the audience in Atlanta. 85, 91. I'm going to say even more than that, right?

Starting point is 01:14:38 That's going to believe her. Okay. But go to the people who are the audience that the vote matters to. How many of them of the independents who are educated people who have watched what she's done who are Democrats will sit there and say, listen honey, we're going to vote for her, but she's so full of shit. How many people say that? How many people actually sit in there saying, what's she talking about? Everybody knows you're the reason why the border sucks.

Starting point is 01:15:04 What do you think Tom? Well I tell you I have facts behind this not opinion. What's very interesting in the polling balance, I've been doing research on polling balance, and in Arizona, in Arizona when they started asking people what are your top three issues, all of them independent, Democrat, Republican, Arizona, have the same three issues in the same order. Immigration, economy, women's rights in the same order. Why? Immigration, number one, the intensity of the response from all voters in Arizona on

Starting point is 01:15:35 immigration was like at an eight out of 10 on the intensity scale. Why? It's live living and it's in their front yard. You don't have to be a Democrat or a Republican to see the homeless people and to see the immigrants walking around and making you not feel safe in Arizona. You see that? So it's number one for all voters in Arizona saying, hey, this is messed up.

Starting point is 01:15:54 We can't have this. Doesn't matter, political party. Now, you go to Missouri, guess what the intensity level was? The intensity level was like two, two and a half to three. Why? Because immigrants aren't going around Missouri, and it becomes a theoretical argument between me, a Democrat, let's say, and you Republican. We're just yelling and screaming at each other. So

Starting point is 01:16:11 what has happened? There are places, PBD, where it doesn't matter what she say, if she gave that speech in Arizona, everybody in the audience is say, dude, you know, come on, Gamala, you know, the immigration is a huge problem here. You're just, you're just talking. And they're they're not gonna believe that but that's just Arizona the rest of places You could have a 90% of the people in Georgia going. Yeah, go go I'll give you a little feedback here. So in storytelling and in comedy There is a universal theme that is that transcends and works and is called the art of the callback Vinnie you would know this.

Starting point is 01:16:45 When you start, you say something upfront and then you do your act and then you bring up that story back. Oh my God. It came out of nowhere. Now. Here's my thing. What's Trump's callback going to be? I'll tell you what it is.

Starting point is 01:17:00 And it's so obvious to me. What was the map or the graph that he was showing when he got shot? What was it? Immigration. Oh my God. We can show that rub. Random. He brought that map up graph up at his speech of the RNC. Do you remember that? And he gave like a look at this map. I love this graph. It's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. That is going to be a common theme is going to bring up. Now, he's on the debate stage with Kamala. You don't think that graph is coming back up? Here it is right here. Yeah. Hey, Kamala,

Starting point is 01:17:36 how many graphs are on there? Hey, Kamala, listen, baby. Um, D I M E I, whatever you are, you are this graph girl. Yeah, you're the reason I'm doing this graph. You're the borders are no matter how much the mainstream media trying to whitewash or blackwash what her job was as the borders are. We all know that it was her job to go visit the border, which she didn't do. So don't be surprised. When Trump busts out this graph, the billion, but no Adam, great point.

Starting point is 01:18:04 But what I think the point that he's trying to make is, is how many people that are still, that still kind of know this are going to go, I don't care as long as it's not Trump. Cause this, by the way, she's running on, I'm not Trump, anything but Trump. And Rob, speaking of that chart, can you show that video? Is that, is it all right, Pat? The video of the girl, Trump yesterday brought up the girl that put up the chart that made him look and he basically said that it saved his life And he's like I love that girl. She's a smart. He called it like a computer He goes she's like this is this it Rob it is let me fast forward to where you go on stage Look, he's like, where's that chart? I love that chart

Starting point is 01:18:42 Do look all the people back there. I love that chart! What did I tell you? I'm going to sleep with that chart for the rest of my life. That chart. That chart. You know, the amazing thing, you know, the people that operate the computers and all the brilliant equipment we have backstage. She said to me, she's great, she's great. The computers and all the brilliant equipment we have back stage She said to me she's great. She's great. She should come out Just tell her to come out here for a second quick quick quick quick. You gotta get her up

Starting point is 01:19:12 She's never done this before She saved my life in a sense. I said you saved my life. Here she is look at Wow One chart saved Donald Trump. Oh. He kisses her hair. This is her hair. Don't do a Biden.

Starting point is 01:19:35 Look, kisses her again. Hold on. We're bringing it for the real thing. OK, kiss her hair. And then look at her. Hi. And that's it. OK, this is my

Starting point is 01:19:46 Genius she puts up a charge This is Donald Trump. I love it. This is my point of the conversion thing when he's doing the angry Condescending you know the black thing whatever he's not winning people over the chart Donald Trump Donald a, use the chart, bring the girl out, give her a kiss, do that, do that, do that, you will win. If you're being angry and you're arguing with black journalists, it's not a good look to him.

Starting point is 01:20:14 But here's my question though, Adam, and I understand 100% what this was the chart, but when he's sitting there and they're going there with him, he has to punch back. You know that whole, when they go low, we go high. No, no, when they go low, you fight fire with fire. And that's why I get it. But he can't bow down to that type of stuff.

Starting point is 01:20:31 And be like, well, no, I'm sorry. Yeah, I'll tell my Republican base never to use DEI. We know she was hired exactly that because Biden has consistently said, I hired this person because I said I was going to hire a black woman. That's it. Period. We know that. Next story.

Starting point is 01:20:47 Hamas political leader Ismail Hanyeh killed in Tehran as Iran vows revenge against Israel. Here we go. As if we don't have enough issues, we have to have another vengeance taking place here with Iran and Israel. Will they do anything is the real question. Let me continue. So Hamas leader Ishmael assassinated in Tehran after attending the inauguration of Iran's new president.

Starting point is 01:21:11 Iran Hamas announced no one immediately claimed responsibility, but suspicion fell on Israel, which has vowed to kill Hani and other Hamas leaders over the October 7th attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and took 250 hostages. Hamas blamed Israel for the killing, with Iran vowing a harsh and payphone response. Israel carried out a rare strike on Beirut, killing Tabhezbollah commander Fahou Shukur, no relation to Tupac. Israel Defense Minister Yoav Galant warned that Israel could take Lebanon back to the Stone Age, but stated, we don't

Starting point is 01:21:45 want to do it. Cross-border attacks between Israel and Lebanon have intensified since the Hamas-led attack on Israel. The assassination on Hanyeh and Shakur could lead to significant regional escalation, with intentional leaders calling for de-escalation to prevent a broader conflict. Adam? Man, this week officially you have to ask yourself, are we now closer to a regional war or further away from a regional war?

Starting point is 01:22:15 I'll let you guys answer that. I would say that these killings of leaders, as appropriate as they may be, has brought the region, I use that word specifically, the region closer, the closest to a regional war that we've been since October 7th. So let me give you a little context here. Who are they killing? So after October 7th, Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli leadership vowed to do one thing. What was that one thing? They're going to eliminate every single person that helped plan and coordinate October 7th. The only thing that you need to think about is October 7th to Israel is our 9-11.

Starting point is 01:22:56 Just digest that for a second. So they went after this guy Ishmael Hannai. Now who is he? He is the political leader of Hamas. So they also killed, they killed three people this month, major, major people. By the way, they killed him. Do you know where they killed this guy? In Tehran. Not in Gaza, not in the West Bank. He was in Tehran. So there's a message there, what I'll tell you in a second. They also killed the Hezbollah military commander.

Starting point is 01:23:29 Your boy Tupac was a Shakur, Fawad Shakur. They killed him in Beirut. So the capital of Lebanon, Beirut, the capital of Iran, Tehran. And they also killed, this is another thing that just came out in the Wall Street Journal, the Hamas top military leader, which his name is Mohammed Daif. Now there's another guy called Yahya Sinwar that they still need to go after. By the way, all these guys, they're on the US terror watch list. Like these aren't good dudes. Say what you will. So there's builders and then there's destroyers. These guys don't build anything. Their goal is to destroy.

Starting point is 01:24:02 And who are they looking to destroy? They're looking to destroy Israel, they're looking to destroy America, they're looking to destroy American values. So, Ishmael Hanei, now this is something that you'll probably resonate with you. Where did this guy become famous? Have you ever heard his name before? Which guy? Ishmael Hanei. You can show his face. The Ishmael guy? I don't even remember. Just show face. So I want to get your opinion on this and then okay It's my honey. This guy right here. Why did he was he in Borat? He was not in Borat. Yeah Bombastic threatening saying wild things. He's been the face of Hamas for decades

Starting point is 01:24:41 Okay, the political face and this picture is the before the assassination, right? Thank you The comedy act coming soon So do you remember in 1983? You probably don't remember this there was a bombing of a US base in Beirut, Lebanon. I remember but I was young Yeah over 200 soldiers died. It was a it was a barracks and yeah, correct. Thank you, Tom So he planned that. That was him. So you know how they say forgive, don't forget, they didn't forgive or forget this guy. And you know who didn't forget? The US as well. He killed 200 American service people.

Starting point is 01:25:18 So this is who this guy is. So you ask the question, why is Israel so aligned with America? Because this is what, who they're going after right here. So this is the message that Israel and the Mossad and Netanyahu, by the way, did you see the video that Netanyahu did after this killing? I can send it to you in a second. Basically, he's like, James Bond is what he said. Here's the message that they're sending to the Hamas leadership and these Iranian proxies. You ready? Whether it's Hezbollah. Yeah, that's right here.

Starting point is 01:25:47 Whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's Hamas, whether the Houthis, we're going to find you and we're going to get you no matter where you are. You can be in the capital of Tehran, we're going to get you. You could be in the capital of Lebanon, we're going to get you. And that is their goal. They stated that goal. They're going to go after every single planner that planned October 7th, and they're doing that. But you know what sucks though? Every single one of those people that you named that died,

Starting point is 01:26:13 the very next hour, somebody else stepped up and took their spot. Like, it's not like that vacancy stays open. Every single, like that, and I get it, Adam, good for them, they deserve to die, and let God judge judge them and that's gonna be their calling But you know what the moment these guys went the number two guy just became the number one guy and that cycle Will never stop and it will keep going and I it's a sad thing But it's it's reality great point and this is the constant game of whack-a-mole that you're playing But the question is are you just gonna not like so that's like saying hey I use the 9-eleven analogy

Starting point is 01:26:46 We gotta go get bin laden So what are we gonna say? No, don't go get bin laden because once we kill him there's gonna be someone else that bumps I know i'm just being real what messages that send that you don't kill the attackers. No, i'm saying kill it No, i'm that you're mistaken. My point. My point is it just sucks. We killed congratulations We're happy for the moment that does not stop those. Those, that terrorist organization, those cells, they just, next guy up. But that's, look, you kill Trump, someone else is going to fill his, that's life. Someone's going to fill that vacuum. But they're not playing, is this the Netanyahu video?

Starting point is 01:27:18 Where he compares himself to James Bond? Go ahead. Go ahead. So what did he say? He said basically instead of saying Bond, James Bond, he's saying Netanyahu. Yeah. Be be Netanyahu. Look, that's marketing, whether you agree with it or not. That's kind of where he's going. By the way, his approval ratings in Israel, 32%.

Starting point is 01:27:41 But now they've gone up a little bit since they've gone after this. But it's not like he's beloved at this point. You know I made the analogy that he's the Trump of Israel. He has his base, his 30, 35 percent, 40 percent base. I don't know if he's gonna win the next election if there is one but this is the reality of what's going on in the Middle East right now. Vinny? No, I'm just like my point just being that I mean good. Who isn't happy when terrorists are murdered, especially I mean, especially innocent lives

Starting point is 01:28:11 that were called and fellow servicemen but I think like I mean, do that that idea that terrorism that war on terror, it'll never stop. There's no face course. It just keeps and it's like the war on drugs. Yeah, exactly. It's never gonna stop. Yeah, it's gonna keep going. It's no face. It just keeps and it's like the war on drugs. Yeah, exactly. It's never gonna stop Yeah, it's gonna keep going. It's just horrible. It's a well if you sit back and say You know, this reminds me I just I can't get around fatalistic and and Concessionary thinking it's like saying just let your kids have you know

Starting point is 01:28:41 Drink party have sex do it or they want to do in college because they're gonna do it anyway No You got to stand up and show some leadership at times and it's and it's painful and the sausage making of international leadership How people are bloodthirsty? well The correlation between the two with the sausage making No and The correlation between the two with the sausage making Unbelievable, Tom No, and international diplomacy, international foreign policy and responding to really bad people is an ugly, gruesome thing But if nobody stands up to show the leadership to do something about it, which includes brokering peach, protecting the innocent, and being really tough on those that are the bad actors.

Starting point is 01:29:30 It's not easy, it's not beautiful to look at, but it's got to be done. I think the real question here is, is Iran going to do anything to Israel? That's the real question that we're not talking about. What did they do last time they launched 50 rockets that landed out in the cornfields? So is Iran going to do anything to Israel? What did they do last time they launched 50 rockets that landed out in the cornfields? So is Iran going to do anything to Israel? Because if you really think about it, Iran's retaliation so far, when they give threats, their score on threats isn't that high.

Starting point is 01:30:01 When they say they're going to do something, it's not a very high threat of we're going to come after you and do X, Y, Z. Now, could this be a different one? Possibly. Are they going to come out and do anything major? Possibly. Will they be successful? Possibly. But based on the last eight years, they're going to send 50, 100, 200 rockets, they're going to try to blow something up, and then they're going to say, we seek our vengeance. And they're going to play that to blow something up and then they're gonna say we seek our vengeance and they're gonna play that clip for their people and move on and everybody moves on got some Soleimani this one and then it's gonna be similar thing that to rabbits in a cornfield die that's about well you know this guy was a former prime minister of Palestine this

Starting point is 01:30:38 guy wasn't a lightweight this yeah he was he was the face of Bombing was it a But can I respond to what you're sure you're absolutely right people because Whether it's has bola whether it's the Houthis whether it's Hamas. These are all just Iranian proxies So Iran is going to respond one way or another Is it gonna be exactly what you said this sort of foe missile attack that? They did the last time in earlier this summer or are they going to use one of their proxies to attack? But Vinny, let me give you a little perspective and this is something because you're a Christian and this is where my mind

Starting point is 01:31:14 went when when all this was happening because now you're bringing Lebanon in now Lebanon other than Egypt is the most percentage wise is the most the most Christian country in the Middle East. So I'm going to give you some quotes here from our friend Hanna-E, and then you can maybe respond to this because he said, we promise you that we will not cede any single part of Palestine. We will not cede Jerusalem. We will continue to fight and we will not lay down our arms. This is the hole from the river to the sea. Palestine will be free, which is aka we're going to kill all the Jews. But here's their methodology, and this is where I gonna kill all the Jews. So, but here's their methodology,

Starting point is 01:31:45 and this is where I want to bring the Christian. We come to say that the Quran is our constitution. We are committed to God and his holy book Allah. Allah willing, they should try to carry out their crime against the Quran. Allah will tear the state apart and it will become Allah's lesson to anyone who tries to desecrate the holy book. There's no man-made laws that they're abiding by. This is a mandate from Allah. So I believe them, you know, Pat wrote the book, Choose Your Enemies Wily. I respect the enemy because I absolutely believe that they actually want to become takeover Jerusalem, takeoverism for the Palestine, for the seeds to be free. So here's my question to Christians out there.

Starting point is 01:32:22 Do you know what percentage of the Middle East was Christian at the turn of the century in 1900? What percentage of the Middle East was Christian around 1900, turn of the century? Take a guess. Take a guess. 40. 40%. What do you got, Tom?

Starting point is 01:32:39 Don't show it, Rob. 30. Turn of the century. 1900. French foreign legion and everything that was over there it was French Lebanon I'm gonna go 70 okay 70% of the Middle East no no no are you talking I'm saying Middle East what are you talking about you talking about you know what the Middle East is and you know what Christianity is what percentage of Middle East I'll go I'll go really low if you're talking about the The land what that became the Israel state. No, just Middle East Middle East in general

Starting point is 01:33:18 Five percent. Okay PBD less than ten points. You're actually pretty accurate 13% in 1900 was Christian population in the Middle East. What is it here? Well way all point seven. way off. So then you got to ask yourself, where was it at the turn of the 21st century, around 2020? I won't have it with 5%. So every 100 years, you're losing half the population. There it is less than 5%. So by the way, by 2050, by the time that you have kids, they're grown up, Christians will be one to 2% of the Middle East. By the way, by 2050, by the time that you know, you have kids that are grown up, Christians will be one to 2% of the Middle East. By the way, where was Jesus from? Jerusalem. Nazareth, right? Middle East. Christianity started in the Middle East. So you're looking at countries like Egypt,

Starting point is 01:33:57 like Lebanon, like Syria, like Iraq, like Iran, that had vast Christian populations. So if you want to be a Christian in the Middle East, good luck going to visit any of your churches, of your holy areas under certain leadership. By the way, here's a fun fact for you. Egypt, 10 to 15 million current Christians, that's number one. Percentage-wise, Lebanon has the most Christians.

Starting point is 01:34:23 But then you go down the list, and you have countries like Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia. On this list right here, I can show you. Pat, how many Christians are in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Yemen, any of the bottom? That's not percentage, by the way. Less than 10 10 Basically saying most Arab countries do don't be Christian. Oh, here it is right here Iran Turkey like so as a Christian you have to look at what's going on in the Middle East and be like brah What's happening here? So it remember I bought you that a gift from the Armenian quarter in Jerusalem The beautiful thing about Jerusalem, which is male honeyel Hani Hamas basically says we want to take over, they want to take over all of it. The beautiful thing about Jerusalem, you know, it's cut into four quarters. Did you know this? The Kotel is what it's called. There's the Jewish quarter, there's the Christian quarter,

Starting point is 01:35:16 there's the Armenian quarter, and there's the Muslim quarter. Equal access to any single quarter you want. That's the beautiful thing of Jerusalem. Here it is right here, the four quarters. access to any single quarter you want. That's the beautiful thing of Jerusalem. Here it is right here, the four quarters. If someone like Hamas or someone like in that elk takes over Jerusalem, there's no quarters. There's one whole. And it's under Hamas rule. So for Christians out there, just understand that this is the whole conversation of why, oh my God, these Christians, evangelical Christians are so supportive of Israel, because I think they recognize if they ever want to go visit places in the Middle East or go see where

Starting point is 01:35:53 Jesus was born, they're going to have to go through Israel for that, not Hamas. That's my point. Well, we'll see. I mean, this is this conflict has been going for how long now? You got nine months? Is that what is that? It's gonna be Ten months it's gonna be October 7th is gonna be a year. No, it's been going. Let's go to the next story here. So

Starting point is 01:36:16 9-eleven the 9-eleven Rob if you can pull up the story from New York Post I'll read and I'll go to to to Vinny on this so Iman and I'll go to Vinny on this. So, U.S. reaches a plea deal with alleged 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Vinny. What do you have on this story? Okay, so, by the way, another failure, because this is happening under the Biden administration, the Department of Defense are giving him, he orchestrated the whole thing, and two other guys, are giving him, he orchestrated the whole thing, and two other guys, Walid Mohammed Salih Mubarak, Bin Attash, how many names does this guy need, Mustafa Ahmed Adam Halswali, so they pleaded, excuse me, guilty to all charges, which included murdering, murdering, almost 3,000 Americans, alright, it's 2,977, and they've been in prison since 2008, making

Starting point is 01:37:03 it 16 years behind bars under the Pleaguedale. This is what drove me nuts. They will not face any solitary confinement. They'll continue to have access to legal representation and will be allowed more contact with their families. Now, as an American, as a New Yorker, this is one of the biggest spit in the face moments. Think about, they planned it, they killed all the Americans. What they did and what we've gone through in all the lives that have been lost, they're going to get special treatment and not get the death

Starting point is 01:37:35 penalty. What about the families of all the people in New York that lost all their lives? How about this? How about the people that were above where the planes hit that had to decide I'm going to jump to my death or go back inside and burn to death. And guess what? These guys get to chill and hang out and hang out with their, you know, now they're among the other prison population. I get that it's in Guantanamo Bay, but unbelievable that our tax dollars have been paying for them and they're going to keep paying for them because they said, you know what, take

Starting point is 01:38:04 the death penalty off the table, just we want you guys to admit that you did it and we all know that they did it and it's just one of the most unbelievable stories that I couldn't believe it. And this didn't make top, yeah, did you even hear about this? Like, they tried to slip it in. So these guys are gonna continue living. Meanwhile, 3,000 families have to forever deal with this. And meanwhile, the families of the 9-11 victims have separately this is just ongoing filed a lawsuit against the

Starting point is 01:38:29 kingdom of Saudi Arabia Adam you brought up Saudi Arabia looking to get some semblance of justice while the military commission process enters guess what it's 23rd year so these families have no justice no nothing meanwhile guys that have killed other people have gotten the death penalty, Tom. There's 27 states in America that still have the death penalty, that have done lesser crimes yet, that kidnapping with a murder, whatever you get, the death penalty.

Starting point is 01:38:54 These guys, the biggest terrorist attack on our soil get to live out their lives comfortably. And I think it's absolutely ridiculous and shame on our Department of Defense and the Biden. What do you think should have happened to them? But death penalty, the moment, the moment we knew because we're not, we're not stupid. They were behind it. Okay, they get the death penalty period, period.

Starting point is 01:39:14 Tom. Done deal. So international criminals in the United States, first of all, I'd like to see them have the death penalty. There's a headline, but international criminals usually Don't get that when we took Manuel Noriega out of Panama an evil brutal killer Dictator we took him down to Miami and we put him in a federal courthouse and then we stuck him in prison and so Foreign actors like this usually get treated like this because behind the scenes So foreign actors like this usually get treated like this because behind the scenes foreign countries are, hey man, don't execute our guy.

Starting point is 01:39:49 You're going to keep him in prison, but don't execute him publicly. You're going to have such crazy reaction from my citizens, they will go bonkers. And I think you should get the death penalty. Murder, special circumstances gets capital punishment. And the death penalty is the formal, informal term for capital punishment. It's a capital case. They should have gotten the death penalty. Conspiracy to commit murder, committing murder, with special circumstances. But they're foreign nationals.

Starting point is 01:40:19 And because they're foreign nationals, this card gets played and everybody worries about inciting violence among others if you carried that out. Yeah, guess what? Because we got to watch- I don't agree with it, but that's the calculus. Because we got to see, we had to see their murder, their 3,000 murder live on television for years and years and years live.

Starting point is 01:40:40 They should have executed them and put it live for everybody in America to see them go. I'm sorry to be that guy. I'm trying to be a good person, but that's absolutely ridiculous Go tell that to the families go tell that to the families that people die Unbelievable, it drives me nuts. I'm conflicted here and I'll tell you why Because the emotional side of me fully agrees with you Vinny. Oh my god, this guy should kill him I've got put it on TV kill this guy killed of course The logical side of me is saying all right. Why aren't God, this guy, she should kill him. I've got to put it on TV. Kill this guy. He killed. Of course. The logical side of me is saying, all right, why aren't they killing this guy? Okay. You ever see the movie catch me if you can with Leonardo DiCaprio? We got to pick this guy's brain. We need to understand these people. We need to use this as an asset.

Starting point is 01:41:20 We need to, we need to allow this guy to make phone calls to family. We need to basically figure out every single way that these people think you're talking about whack a mole logically. I'm thinking let's use this guy. Killing him helps us emotionally. Okay. Kill them. Of course. Logically.

Starting point is 01:41:38 How can we use these people as an asset to find other people? So here's my question. We just had the conversation about how they killed the leader of Hamas in Tehran. How did they kill the leader of Hezbollah, the military commander in Beirut? Because they're using assets to get to the people. So I don't know about this guy, Sheikh Mohammed, but these guys have family. They have people because imagine saying to this guy, Oh, you know, how many kids did you have?

Starting point is 01:42:07 Oh, I have seven, seven kids. Well, now you only have three because we've killed four. Would you like to see your kids ever again? Yeah, I would. Well, let's get, let's, let's cut a deal here. That's the logical side of me thinking. But you just want to think about you just said about the three terrorists that were involved with Hamas, they didn't ask families, they just went after them and they killed

Starting point is 01:42:28 them. We've had this scumbag for 23 years. We've had him and those three guys, I'm sorry Adam, we've juiced them, we've milked them, we got all the information. Now we're giving him a special treatment because what? He signed a paper that said, you know what, I know you guys know I did it, now I'm actually admitting that I did it. He, no, no, no. Vinny. I don't want, what else are you going to that said, you know what? I know you guys know I did it. Now I'm actually admitting that I did it. He, no, no, no.

Starting point is 01:42:47 Vinny. What else are you gonna learn about him for 23 years? It's not him. It's who does he know on the ground? If you ever wanna see your family, if you ever wanna talk to your kids again, why, I didn't just make this up. They just gave him the access.

Starting point is 01:42:58 This is what the CEI, the FBI does. They use people as assets. Didn't we show video a few weeks ago of a mother celebrating her son's death who gave his life for the country and to them it's a martyr and she was celebrating. This is the lady that was like la la la la la. That's right. It was actually disgusting.

Starting point is 01:43:16 So do you really think like. This lady right here. Yeah that lady right there. Play it from the beginning. Do you really think where they're. Go ahead. This is the... She's celebrating the fact that her son is a martyr. This is the pay for slave mentality. So their families will now get paid,

Starting point is 01:43:37 literally pay for slave when their son becomes a martyr and he goes up to heaven and gets 72 virgins. So the point is, you think these guys are sitting there, you threaten them, we're going to take this person's, that person's life is going to be that much? I don't know. I don't know if it is, I don't know if it's not saying you're right or wrong. I just don't know in that environment that you're raised, that you're sitting there really falling for all of that.

Starting point is 01:43:59 Maybe, maybe not. Let's go to the next story. A couple stories here before we wrap up. California city rolls out all electric police fleets, first in the U.S. South Pass City into California has become the first U.S. city to deploy an electric fleet, replacing gas-empowered vehicles with 20 Teslas, 10 Model Ys and 10 Model 3s for detective and administrative work, aiming for significant energy and maintenance savings with annual energy savings of $4,000 a vehicle.

Starting point is 01:44:26 The city invested $1.85 million, meaning the city gave Elon Musk $1.85 million. That's what really it means in a project covering EV charges and lease payments with over 50% of costs met by project partners. Mayor Evelyn Zneimer stated the transition reflects the city's vision of a sustainable future based on both sound fiscal management and environmental stewardship. Sergeant Tony Abdallah highlighted the cost savings and safety benefits noted the cost savings are undeniable and being able to bring Tesla's entire suite of crash and safety systems to bear an officer safety in and added benefit

Starting point is 01:45:06 above and beyond the economics of operating and maintaining this modern EV fleet. Tom, thoughts on the story? Well, first of all, everything they, this is amazing, but these are politicians that actually managed to tell the truth for three minutes and 14 seconds during the press conference. They told the truth about what they were saving for vehicle. It's saving the taxpayers. They told the truth about officers being protected in the crash worthiness of these Teslas being better than the Dodge Chargers and things they were using. They told the

Starting point is 01:45:34 truth about the energy saving and they care about the environment. You just have to remember when you charge an electric car, you're just moving the exhaust pipe over to the power plant, right? Because the power plant's making electricity. So they all told the truth about it. They told the truth. The irony is, up in Sacramento, the avowed enemy of Elon Musk, Gavin Newsom, is probably just absolutely flipping out, because this was a rational, well thought

Starting point is 01:46:08 out plan to save the city money, protect the officers better and reduce emissions to the environment, if you believe that side of it. I think it's just hysterical, the irony. Gavin Newsom, wait, South Pacific, what? Are you kidding me? Yeah, and this comes a day after they just had that war Was that was there back and forth on on X? That's beautiful This is perfect timing literally the day after man by the way Elon had another war Rob

Starting point is 01:46:34 If you want to pull up Maduro's clip towards Elon that Elon retweeted which I thought was absolutely Fascinating can you imagine Maduro's out there talking to his military? Telling them did you see this or no? Rob, pull up the clip, keep going, keep going, keep going. It's a clip of Maduro screaming and hollering to his people of what to do to Elon Musk. Not that one. There's one where you see he's literally standing in front of his military. I think you might have passed it Rob, maybe

Starting point is 01:47:06 Maduro Musk if you type in Does this have to do with the starlink? Yeah play this clip go for it I If you want, I want Elon Musk. Where do I go? I want Taco Bell. This is exactly what I was referencing before. You have Elon Musk, who is a builder and a creator and changing the world. And you have Nicolas Maduro, who is a destroyer and has literally been responsible for destroying Venezuela We showed the stats of what Venezuela was 50 plus years ago the number one economy in Latin America number top 10 economy in the world Elon Musk is is worth how much? 250 billion dollars. What's the GDP of Venezuela? I don't know if you can find that real quick

Starting point is 01:48:23 It's probably not as much as what Elon Musk is worth. So $14 and $482 billion. Okay. So it's, so Elon Musk is worth, is that accurate right now? That's in 2014. What is it in 2024, 10 years later? Cause it's probably way less than that. My assumption, but a hundred current current a hundred and two Okay, so ten years ago. It was she This is my point oh my god, sometimes I'm right ten years ago to GDP was 400 something billion now it is a hundred billion. So they've lost 75% of their GDP under Nicolas Maduro. I rest my case

Starting point is 01:49:05 Tom 75% of their GDP under Nicolas Maduro. I rest my case Tom I think what you have here is the realization by even strong man of a struggling Dictatorial strong man of a struggling country knows where the real power is and he's reaching out and he's trying to he's trying to smack the head of Elon Musk and he's trying to look tough and look everything but really he is getting played and it's embarrassing it's a bad look and by the way you just stole an election and you're a dictator and so to divert attention you decide you're gonna say I'll fight Elon Musk yeah that yeah play play the this is're gonna be great. Play the, this is the clip I was talking about. I just found it.

Starting point is 01:49:48 Watch this clip here. This is Maduro speaking to his military. Well, let me read what Mario Nafal says first and then play the clip. So Maduro gives police instructions amid protests surrounded by strong security detail. Maduro went out to give instructions. His top priority, keep Elon went out to give instructions. His top priority, keep

Starting point is 01:50:05 Elon Musk out by any means. Can you imagine you're sitting there talking to your military about an entrepreneur billionaire in the US? Yeah. PBD, this is a case example of a capitalist versus a communist. And just look at the numbers, look at the math, look at the growth of Tesla, look at the growth of Neuralink, look at the growth of Starlink, look at the growth of the boring company, look at the growth of SpaceS, Look at the growth of Elon Musk and compare that to the last 10 years of Venezuela under Nicholas Maduro. One is trending in the right direction, like a rocket ship, and one is literally imploding

Starting point is 01:51:14 before our eyes. And the best he has is, Hey, you want to fight me, bro? It's not going to work. Let's save that voice. Bro.. Do your bubbles because we don't want this. Do these bubbles out of the screen. Gang, enjoyed it. Appreciate you guys for being with us. I think we have a podcast going out tomorrow, either Russell Peters or a possible, you know, sniper guy. Right?

Starting point is 01:51:43 That we're talking about. Sniper may be going out, so stay tuned for that. If not, have a great weekend everybody. Take care. Bye bye, bye bye.
