You lost 50 pounds, bro. You're doing better. We're certain. I'm in my life. I'm in my life. I'm in my life. There's no doubt about that. You know, I'm a bit of a Obama being smart. By the way, there's no doubt about that. So you know, Obama, that's why folks, come on, stop.
Starting point is 00:01:45 If you just got on the debate right now, it's our Ivy League people smarter than the average person. And does Obama think he's better than others? Simply because he went to an Ivy League school saying no, Gerard saying yes. I don't know, we can maybe talk about it. Most important thing about today's podcast, most important thing about today's podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Listen very closely because you may save some money on your taxes based on a special tip we're gonna give you with you already. Just a big tip. Big 10, I'm gonna spoil that, Adam. Massive tip will show you. Don't bury the lead, biz, doc. Momentarily, okay, so we got Adam, Tom, and Gerard here.
Starting point is 00:02:23 How was your morning, Pat? Tell us about your morning. How to soccer game. I don't know why they're putting soccer games discerning. What time was it at? On Thursday. On Thursday.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Practice started at 7-something. Game starts at almost 8 o'clock, and then boom. They're going out of 4-45 minutes, and I barely made it. So I'm 15 minutes away from here. How'd he do? How'd the kid do? He first half didn't play. Didn't have the shingards. Second half didn't play. They didn't have the shingards.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Second half didn't play. And he did good. They won the game five. They were winning five won when I left with two minutes left. That's a shellacking. That's a shellacking. His team is filled with Brazilians and he's the only Middle Eastern ones.
Starting point is 00:02:58 So, yeah, you ever seen the movie kicking and screaming with Will Ferrell? Yeah, if they were the, yeah. Hey, juice box, Mike Ditka. Yeah, yeah. And they recruited the two Italian box, Mike Ditka. Yeah, yeah. And they recruited the two Italian kids. That's what's going on over there.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Westminster. You know, kids, you know, people talk a lot about them. Kids being over scheduled. And then your local soccer club. I mean, Brooke, Brooke Crew, play's defender. She's right there in front of the goalie, usually
Starting point is 00:03:18 captain of the defense. Thank you, Carolina. When they miss, when they miss a game, they do the same thing, Pat. Brooke has had like 11 o'clock Sunday game 10 o'clock Sunday game and then and then like a two o'clock Sunday game and they run these double headers and these are the same parents who are complaining that the kids are over scheduled who are with their local soccer group But in double headers very seriously, but they do take a seriously.F, anybody knows a great, I'm not talking an average.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Anybody knows the best soccer coach to coach to my kids. I am looking for a killer one. I'm not looking for a regular one. I'm looking for a killer one. David Watt. Okay. Yeah, I'm looking for somebody here South Florida. If you know it, DM me send me a yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:00 That's exactly what I got you, Pat. With his, I got you. Here's guys been saying I got you every since we've been in South Florida All of Adam's friends are gonna be shown up. We haven't seen anybody the problem is we're not in South Florida We're like North Florida and both girls are gonna be shown up way too. We moved the four-larter first of all Yes, you're gonna be speaking highly of me. Yes, today. We had an ideation meeting folks. You got to hear this okay We've done a great meeting by the way. It was a great meeting. We've had four strategy sessions, okay, to come up with ideas.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Adam's been an every single one in the, Adam's PowerPoint is the same PowerPoint for two and a half years straight. He is convinced we need to change by attainment's name to girls' attainment. That's what he's convinced. His one slide says, girls, girls, girls, girls. Like the Beastie boys, or Van Halen.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Girls, girls. All right, so today's storyie boys or Van Halen. Girls, girls. All right, so today's stories. And by the way, I'm not wrong. Yeah, listen. Who do you think had the best presentation yesterday? I can go for some. Real talk. I think had the best presentation yesterday.
Starting point is 00:04:55 We have everyone presented. I just said checks and I stopped them. I think G and Zach crushed it. If you asked me, I think those two are good. I gotta say this guy. Yeah, I think G and Zach touched it. And believe me, I hate giving you compliments. No, it pains me, but you crushed it. I think those two are really good. I gotta say this guy. Yeah, I think he ends up in the middle of it. Real touch. I believe in me. I hate giving you compliments.
Starting point is 00:05:06 No way. It pains me, but you crushed it. I really appreciate your power. And I know you. And I know you. Power through. Appreciate your power through it. I'm telling you Patrick, I have a question.
Starting point is 00:05:15 But you're sorry, bizzahak, but your idea at the end, I think was the best implementable idea immediately. Yeah. By far. All right. If that's what he wasn't so much a fan of it, because he hates competition, he hates capitalism, we all know Gerard. But the capitalists who doesn't like companies,
Starting point is 00:05:32 that's what it is. Adam, Adam, Adam. We're only two minutes into this, and you're already all worn out. I'm fired up, bro. Pat, do we have a list, Pat? Yes, we do. So in October, home prices go up 18.4% in November, home prices fall. And yesterday on the call, people were asking the same,
Starting point is 00:05:47 how what are you things gonna happen with real estate in 2022? Should I expect to pass it the negative thing? Maybe we'll talk about that a little bit. Fauci says you should consider mandating vaccines for domestic air travel, but doesn't expect it for now. One third of programmers, folks, listen up, especially if you're a programmer.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Maybe if you are gonna listen if you're a programmer. Maybe if you're one of these third programmers, you're probably not listening, but one-third of programmers use marijuana while working. With many touting creative benefits, study finds. Okay, we'll talk about that for sure. Just Lane Maxwell, we got some things to talk about with her. NFL legend John Matten dies at 85. We'll talk about him. Every door dash employee from engineer to CEO will be making deliveries. And one of their employees who makes $400,000,
Starting point is 00:06:33 you're complaining about the fact that the company white and initiative requires them to deliver one thing per month, he's upset about it. Mama, the child allegedly abused by CNN producer, John Griffin, is outraged by the delay to rest. She's furious. And on top of that, another thing came out today by the way. I don't know if you guys saw that story. They just popped out Tyler. Did you see the story of the other producer of CNN go pull it up so we can talk about that as well?
Starting point is 00:06:54 It's about to come out producer. This is another one. Oh my god. Tesla owner blows up. Tesla owner blows up. Tesla owner blows up his car after $22,000 repair. Now, the reason why I believe this story is because the guy was from Norway. So it's a believable story.
Starting point is 00:07:09 We got some stuff going on with CDC from 10 to 5 days. North Korea has hacked $1.7 billion worth of cryptocurrency from exchanges and considers it a long-term investment. There you go. Facebook and Instagram, Ben, Thomas Payne, saying he's a revolutionary guy. Harry Reid also passed to a rest in peace. Huge surge in House Democrats, 2022, retirement announcements as 2021 comes around.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And CDC, this is the first time they've ever done this, they made a mistake over estimating Omicron spread by more than 200%. And Trump's got a few things to say about Mitch McConnell, which we'll get into. Anyways, let's get right into the tax tip. Folks, tax seasons around the corner, a very story came out yesterday about taxes.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Get your paper and pen ready. This may help somebody you know because IRS is actually serious about this. IRS says to report stolen property as income. Unless you can return it the same year. This is a Fox 4 news Kansas City story. It's also USA Today story. An image circulating on social media
Starting point is 00:08:14 perpets that to show an IRS guideline, asking taxpayers to report any value of any property, they've stolen each year as income. The guideline is real. The IRS publication 17 available available on agency's website, contains a section on stolen property that may leave readers scratching. If you can pull up the pictures so people can see it.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Here's what it looks like. Illegal activities, income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing drugs, illegal drugs, must be included in your income as schedule one. Stolen property, if you steal property, you must report it in your income in the near, in the year you stole it, unless it, unless in the same year you choose to return it to its rightful owner. So that's your tax tip of the day. Tom, what are your thoughts on
Starting point is 00:08:54 this? Well, what I think is going to happen is you're going to have some dumb criminals, and there are those. And they're going to turn in their taxes. And I'm going to say, thank you very much for paying your taxes. We forwarded this to the FBI. Have a nice day. I mean, these guys talk. I mean, it's either a joke or a hook, but I can't believe the literalness that it's in the code. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:18 So years ago, they said, Capone got caught like this. This is how they caught Capone. They came out with a law like this and then they fell forward and yes, a tax evasion is what it is. But this is slightly different than tax evasion. You steal a car, report it. I made $17,000 because I saw $17,000 car. What's the depreciation on? I got a vehicle. I got so this is not an onion headline. This is actual real stuff. Because it seems like an onion headline if there's ever been one Those of you that joined the Nariat and got yourself three or four of those
Starting point is 00:09:49 70 inch TVs took them home. Yeah, remember they'll seem like tax paying citizens Right, exactly remember that's three grand each. That's nine grand needs to be online 16 of your tax form Yeah, no, it's okay. I had I have a CCorp that I do all of my theft under. So we're just going to put it in a positive way. So it's a serious thing. Yeah, first time I saw this, I thought it was a joke. I'm not even kidding with you. By the way, I posted a guess hit on Instagram. Tulsi Gabbard responded.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah. And she said, I had to, did you see what she said? No. She said, I went online to verify this. It's unbelievable that it's real. That's what Tulsi said. And this is the national, the government. The Irish website. They go, that's the Irish website. They go, that's the whole it's real. That's what Tosy said. This is the national, the government's website.
Starting point is 00:10:26 They go that's the very best. They put the link in comment section. So people want to go to the King of the World. I'm honest to God though, I mean, all jokes aside, this tells you everything you need to know about progressive America right now. Because they don't care about you, me, or the fellow citizen.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Still from you. Just make sure you give us a little time. But you know what I love, Pat? It's all right, burn down a business. Just don't come anywhere near the Capitol. Ah, you know, like it's mostly peeps wool over there. Just don't do it here. That's what these people are.
Starting point is 00:10:52 It's a let them eat cake moment. I see the regulations are an exercise in comedy. Look at which right below the stolen property is transporting school children. Don't include in your income a school board mileage allowance for taking children to and from school. So in other words, you cannot mileage allowance for taking children to and from school. So in other words, you cannot deduct mileage for taking kids back and forth to school,
Starting point is 00:11:09 but you must declare a full property. Imagine. Imagine, like what? What world are we even living in anymore? I mean, even even the mayor of San Francisco far left progressive mayor. She's like, Oh, Lyndon. Yeah, London. London. So like, these policies, I don't even know. Like, we got $13 billion in order. We've got everybody on the same page. Everybody's in the same party. And we've got nothing but crime theft, human shit and people sleeping in the streets. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe we need to. And shoot and smack. Yeah. So by the way, you said, you know, there's going to be some drug dealers out there that have stolen stuff that they're going to put this on their taxes
Starting point is 00:11:45 Zero people are doing zero zero nobody's like smoking weed sitting there with their stolen goods The other drug money around the movie like sorry, baby. I'm doing my C Corp taxes right now like I'm not happening Who's taking inventory on what they stole in a riot? Who's taking inventory of what? That's right. You guys are under estimating the amount of dummies we have in America. You are really giving people way too much credit. There's a lot of people that will, you've ever seen the, what is the video that says the
Starting point is 00:12:20 dummy criminal or the weak or the dummy? Yeah. There is plenty of strange, stupid criminals that think they can get away. The biggest file voluntary, the way. These criminals are filing the taxes. They're just voluntarily admitting theft. I'm just telling you, don't underestimate. You guys have to be careful.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Only the paranoid survive, I think people have to be caught. I think they're getting away. So you think people are actually going to do this? I think it's comfortable. I want to interview the two people that do it. I got to tell you that I was just trying to be honest. If I were a criminal, which I'm not, or if I were a drug dealer, which I'm not,
Starting point is 00:12:52 and I wouldn't want to give this corrupt government any money, what I would do instead of, and again, this is just, I know right where you're going. I know what you're going, is I would take those assets, and I may or may not invest in some Ethereum and then use that Ethereum to create an NFT and take that NFT and sell it to myself and it'll loss. So then I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:11 We got them Pat, we got them. We got them. We got them. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go to the next store.
Starting point is 00:13:19 They're not going to be high while they're filling out their tax returns. What we've already determined is they're high coding for Microsoft. So that leads us to the next story, which is perfect right there, Tom. So one third of programmers using marijuana while working with many touting creative benefits
Starting point is 00:13:33 study finds this is a story from the marijuana moment. Okay. Research is at University of Michigan said that the anecdotal evidence suggested that those in programming were more likely to use cannabis on the job so they set out to conduct a first large-scale survey on the topic this provision of cannabis use in software engineering has contributed to a widely reported
Starting point is 00:13:55 hiring shortage for certain u.s. government program in jobs the study finds fifty three percent said they've consumed cannabis while working and program at least twelve times twenty seven percent said they use it at least twice a week and 4 percent said they use it while working on a daily basis. Okay. Good thing, bad thing, funny story, who cares, where you out with this? I'll tell you where I'm at with this.
Starting point is 00:14:19 And speaking from experience, from the creative benefits, when I was in my stand-up comedy days, I did three things all day every day. I would smoke weed and when I was living in Denver, I would write jokes. Half of them were absolutely ridiculous. Half of them I used on stage. I would then go play basketball in the afternoon in the mile high city, literally.
Starting point is 00:14:40 And then I would go stand up at night and it really does help your creative juices flow. The problem with that is though, you smoke your weed and then like three hours later you're like it's time for a nap. It's like dude, it's noon, what are you doing? So there are creative benefits for it. But the downside is you lose energy, you lose stamina,
Starting point is 00:15:01 you lose your ability to like keep going and keep pushing forward. Let's just say somebody that maybe has experienced David, what do you think about that? No joke, I have a friend his name is Schmebid. And he just wrote one bit of butter. Yeah, Schmebid is right. He wrote two butter. And I was doing sound design for this film. And I mean, he was doing sound design for this film. And I mean, he was doing sound design for this film.
Starting point is 00:15:26 And he got really high. And he thought it was dope. And then he sent it. And the guy was like, hey buddy, was this like a first draft or something? And this is a sound like dog shit. It was terrible. So it does make you creative.
Starting point is 00:15:38 You can set up every day. But programming, I don't think you would do that well. By the way, we'd love to meet Schmavit. Yeah, one of these days. Yeah, he's super busy though. He's a bottom-on-one game. It might only only one that thought one-third was like low. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I think it's like, wait, what percentage of Americans do you think have smoked weed? Oh, a lot. Dude, I'm actually probably one of the only one of my friends that doesn't like weed. Like, I've never heard my, I swear to God. But you do like the munchies. That's my, dude, that's the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:16:04 I've never needed any ambition to be lazy and hungry in my life. I've got lazy and hungry covered. Pat, have you ever smoked weed? I don't need to help. And what did it do for you? Because you're the type of person that does not need cocaine. Pat, I was sma- You're going reg-
Starting point is 00:16:17 I said we're going to have money. I can promise you, I have to, there's nothing about cocaine that does me good. Because if you cut my blood, there's nothing about cocaine that does me good. Because if you cut my blood, there's probably some cocaine there because natural Assyrian sugar that's going to be in there. No, you know, weed was never smoked in high school, never smoked in a military. I got out, I was dating this girl, she was my boss. And one night we smoked weed and I finished three bowls of berries.
Starting point is 00:16:45 It's like literally I finished three bowls of berries at night at one o'clock in the morning. That's a really story. I remember and it's probably very good for a guy like me. You guys would benefit from me smoking weed. I think at the end of the day, when you do smoke, I think it's a big deal. I think they came out, they said a large percentage, I don't want to say a large percentage, a lot of companies have done away with drug tests. They should.
Starting point is 00:17:12 They're just like, come to work, we need you, Bizdak, for someone that smokes weed every day. What do you think of this story? Excuse me. Well, first of all, David, thank you for not saying your friend's last name. No one will figure out who this guy is. Schmibid auto. Schmibid auto.
Starting point is 00:17:27 The guy himself Florida with the name. No, I think you look at it. You look at who's in the dispensaries. You look at the people that are going into and you're finding people. You have to remember, the people that were high at Woodstock, what are they now? That's 1969 and 20th. They're in charge of our government. They're the baby boys. They're 80 years's old they're 75 to 82 years old and so you've got people all
Starting point is 00:17:51 the way up to that age remembering this and I've always felt that if you're gonna legalize this we need to regulate it periquot hurt a lot of people it was a pesticide that was in it if you're gonna legalize it then let's make it like any food product or justing product let's put some standards on it. But it's also, figure out a way to make sure if you're driving completely stone and putting people at risk, we can test for that. And so, I have always felt that we're going to legalize it, let's legalize it the whole way, and let's also protect ourselves and people.
Starting point is 00:18:20 How do you test for driving stones? Well, there's already, I mean, driving in pairs already law, so mean it's that is a law but it's a law but reliable tests for sure But even right now where it's decriminalized in California There's still a black market because the taxes are so high They're asking for the taxes to come down in California because the drunk dealers are still selling dime back for you know for 10 bucks So I'll tell you a quick story about I'll tell you a quick start about driving stone And this is what I realized. Don't be smoking and driving over here.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I went first, I shouldn't be driving period. Yeah, great. I agree. I agree. I should not be driving. I don't drive ahead out of current 10 years. I was 22 years old. You should get in the carrier thing and let the cat drive.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Thank you. Yeah. I was 22 years old. And I remember, I did not smoke all throughout high school. And in college, and I was like, I'm a drug free. I'm athlete. And then I got, I did not smoke all throughout high school and in college and I was like, I'm a drug free, I'm athlete and then I got, I'm playing college football. And all my teammates were getting stoned and doing all sorts of nonsense.
Starting point is 00:19:12 But this one day I went to get my car, I had to go run some errands, and I get my car, and I go to put the keen ignition, and I'm sitting in shotgun. I'm sitting in the passenger seat. There it is, in my car. So you just brought up a grenade. Hi shit. So when I was dressing. In my car. So they, you know, you just brought up a
Starting point is 00:19:26 great. So when I was when I was in the driving, folks, he's just trying to make this up. This happens every week. This is not 20 years ago. This was last week. Well, it's crazy is like, I think we're all agree like as far as like drugs are
Starting point is 00:19:38 concerned. It's pretty obvious at this point that we it's pretty low on the list of of things that can like really call it. What is that? Great A, what are they call it? Sure, whatever, the DEA, whatever, whatever they can do to keep themselves in business. But the issue becomes, you talked about school.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Weed stayed in your system for testing for 30 plus days. There wasn't like a single athlete I knew that smoked weed. But instead, we would do all the harder shit and stuff that's way worse for you, because it's like, it's been 24 hours. So it was like, and dude, especially if you got injured, if you got injured, or you would deal with soreness or something like that,
Starting point is 00:20:11 instead of smoking weed, you would take oxies and you would take like pills that are hardcore that you talk about this before. I think we can all agree that on the level of things that people use, weed is way better for you than alcohol or pills. Is it not? But it comes out of the ground.
Starting point is 00:20:27 It doesn't come out of a lab. So I mean, there's profit incentive for them to get kids hooked on pills, the need prescription. There's still profit incentive in the greens though, isn't there? Well, tax that weed? Depends on who's in there.
Starting point is 00:20:39 But yeah, I mean, listen, what I think is interesting, man, is like, I told this to Pat, I'm not gonna say the guy's name, David, but I know a guy who's a Schmerard, incredibly good, like $1,600 a day editor for a major network, and he microdoses LSD the whole day. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Well, this is common. I don't think it is. Is it common? Microdosing? Let me ask you a different question. Let me ask you a different question. Let me ask you a different question a serious question Okay, I'm a 22-year-old kid listening to this I'm a driven guy want to do big things forget about the guy that's not ambitious that doesn't want to do anything with his life
Starting point is 00:21:13 And he just wants to kick back. You don't need to tell him You couldn't motivate the guy even if you brought all the best motivational speakers in the room I'm a 22-year-old kid. I really want to do something big with my life We're all in our 30s and 40s here, and some of us are maybe not in our 40s and 30s. But in the room here, you can give this advice to somebody at 22 years old. What would you tell this kid?
Starting point is 00:21:34 E.C.E.C.E. About drugs. What would you tell them about drugs? Sticking the natural stuff. What would you tell them about drugs? Look, I've done drugs. I've done... I I've done my girlfriend's health peach. I've done, I'm not, I always tell this story
Starting point is 00:21:49 that the only reason I'm alive right now is I don't like cocaine. I mean, everyone in Miami is cocaineed out and that's how they reasonably, they party. I would say this, get your shit done. Focus on what is actually important, like work, get your, you know, but if you're doing well and you wanna go out on the weekends,
Starting point is 00:22:09 again, I think smoking a joint is way better than getting swasted and just taking a fit to the head on alcohol. You're 18-year-old son, you gonna tell him that? I would say I'd rather him smoke a joint than showing you a leader of alcohol. You're okay with him smoking without 18 years. They're gonna do it anyway.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Real talk. I mean, how many? No, no, no, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Hang on a second. Ron, you're sunshine. You didn't do it till you were out of college, right? You said, okay, so you when you say they're going to do it anyways, we don't know that. I'm saying it college.
Starting point is 00:22:35 What would you say, George? What would you say? I think, dude, unfortunately, man, I think this is one of those things where people need to touch the stove to realize how hot it is. Like every time I did drugs, every time I got drunk, every time I got messed up, I didn't have a bad time. But every time I had the worst night in my life, I was high or I was drunk or I was messed up.
Starting point is 00:22:55 So it's not like every time you do something, you ruin your life, but every time you ruin your life, you're on some shit. You know what's the thing I would say is the following. Here's what I remember, I can tell you crystal clear every single time where I was at when I was a kid said, you're smoke a cigarette. I said, I don't want to smoke a cigarette.
Starting point is 00:23:11 My mom and dad smoked two packs a day. Every day from the day I was born in our house, in our car, everybody smoked two packs a day. Two packs a day, okay? Any around, okay. So we've been a car or a white Renault. Mom and dad are smoke and cigarettes. The whole car, you know what the hot box and stuff? I mean, we've been a car or a white Renault, mom and dad are small consigres. The whole car, you know what, the hot box and stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I mean, we've been around, I had second hand with the car. That's brutal. And ask my dad the story, look what he'll tell you. You're saying hot box and cigarettes? Sickness. I'm the window down. When those up, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands,
Starting point is 00:23:37 my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my hands, my Remember, in airplanes, they used to have a... Astros in your seat. Now, in a black man with vapes, you go and will bar in down in the sky. Bar in your seat. Here's what I'm going to tell you. So that was cigarettes. That was a, he liked his alcohol. Every day, he drank a glass like this of a ori. I don't know how you describe it, ori is 60%.
Starting point is 00:23:59 I mean, it was 60 proof. It's legit stuff that you're talking about, okay? So, and you guys are how much I love my dad, so this isn't something. He would tell you these stories himself, right? Okay, go to high school, I see guys smoking cigarettes. I'm like, I'm good guys, you guys smoke cigarettes. I've had the chance to smoke cigarettes
Starting point is 00:24:13 since I was six months old. You guys, I'm probably smoking more cigarettes than both of you guys combined. So, then the weed situation comes out. You wanna smoke weed? I'm good. Then the other couple of the situations comes up. One time I was a body, I was a, I don't know if I've told the story here.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I'm working at Bally's. This one guy that's working there. He's always got these S-500s parked outside. He's got a boat. He's got a yacht. But he never sells memberships and he's a salesperson. He's making 675 an hour. I'm like, how the hell are you?
Starting point is 00:24:43 So one day I'm like, I don't know what to the guy. Let's say he's the name is Michael. Very good friend. Till today. Or Shmaid. No. Let's say he's the name is Michael. One day I say Michael, can we go to Quiz Ones? We go, he would never let me pay. I'm like, dude, you're not making money.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I said, let me go. Dude, I got you. You're cool. I said, no, I said, don't bro. I love the pickle bar. Yeah, I'd go to Quiz Ones. So he says, I said, I got you, Pete. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:25:03 So he pays him. We're 10 years old to them. I said, dude Michael. How do you help you make all this money? It's a what are you doing this Saturday? I said I'm open. It's a let's go somewhere so we go Saturday Introduce me to the top We call it cocaine dealer in LA call me a guy so I meet him then he says let's go. We'll go to the back How much money you making I said dude? I, I'm the top sales guy in my office. I'm making $3,500 a month. I'm killing it.
Starting point is 00:25:29 He starts laughing. He says, you're making $3,500 a month. How'd you like to make $4 a week? Because you're a pretty big guy. I said, shit, fuck. I'm all in. $4,000 a week, he says, yeah. Says, here's all I need you to do.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I need you to be our muscle and help us get the money. Kay, from our guys that haven't paid. He said, matter of fact, what are you doing right now? I said, nothing. It's like one o'clock in the morning. Let's go to Marina Del Rey. We gotta collect some money. He says, but before we do, I want you to test the product.
Starting point is 00:25:56 So it takes me to the bathroom. He says, test the product. I do a line that night. I come out, I said, there is no freaking way I can get close to this thing. I thought I was King Kong on steroids. I said, get this thing away from this guy, right? So we went that night, we collected $100,000 at night with this one guy on the marina. Anyways, this is like 23, 20, I'm 19 years old, 20 years old.
Starting point is 00:26:22 You're putting the math on the side. 23 years old. No, no, no, no, I'm 23 years old 20 year but it's putting the math on the side of the nation. 23 years old. No, no, no, I'm 23 years old. Good. Yeah, that was coming out of me. So we got him guys. Get the big day going down.
Starting point is 00:26:31 We can go in. Anyways, we leave. We come out and he says, so now you know I don't sell any memberships. I think I kind of got it now. This is how I make antenna 20 a week selling this.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Next week I go to work. He says you want wanna make another foreground? I said, no, I don't even want the money. I stepped away. Here's a moral of the story when I'm telling you. I've been in it, I've seen it, I've been around it. Every single one of my friends that even got close to any kind of drugs, X, special K,
Starting point is 00:27:00 LSD, go through, do any one of them you wanna talk about. Every single one of my friends that even got close to drugs lost yours of their lives. They lost momentum, they got fired, they lost friendships, they lost girlfriends, they lost loved ones, they committed suicide, best friends died. Because the guy started off with weed, he went to alcohol. It went to cocaine. It went to heroin It went to 50 bike-giddance every day until he died on May of 2005 And when I got the phone call I was on a drive-to-diamond bar and I have to give a speech that afternoon It was the most emotional speech ever I was looking at me saying why are you so much? I'm like you guys I'm no clue
Starting point is 00:27:41 What just happened this guy just passed away. I didn't want to talk about it, but I was a keynote speaker. More of the story. If you have big plans and you want to do something big, don't even think about getting close to drugs. There was a guy in Canada that we were doing business with Insurance Guy. That's called making three millionaire married, killing it. So all of a sudden he gets invited
Starting point is 00:28:03 to all these celebrity parties in Canada. But he's a simple guy. He was married to his wife, high school, sweetheart, everything was good. So he gets invited to these parties. Cool parties. He starts getting invited to these cool poker games, like, oh my gosh, I'm not playing poker with these Hollywood stars, with these athletes. While one thing leads to another, starts picking up cocaine, everybody runs them doing drugs, he starts doing drugs.
Starting point is 00:28:24 He loses his business. He loses his wife. He loses his kid six months later, he's homeless and the streets. People are seeing this guy. He lost every single penny his family had, his wife had, all of it's wiped out. Rune the entire family just because he got caught up.
Starting point is 00:28:41 And this guy's not in his 20s. He wasn't in his 30s. He was in his early 40s. This shit can't get you no matter how old you are. They got to be very careful. They see guys like that. Like they see guys like that a mile away, man. Like he was a mark.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Like somebody who was setting up those poker games was like, well, I was just gonna get a couple of chicks around here. But they all had money, though. It wasn't like he was part of your money. He becomes my money. That's how I make my money. That's how that works.
Starting point is 00:29:04 But it wasn't even that. It wasn't a mile away, man. But it wasn't even that. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money.
Starting point is 00:29:12 You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money.
Starting point is 00:29:20 You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money.
Starting point is 00:29:28 You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, you're not money. You're not money, together. I promise you, they're looking for a safe room for the mark. Say a guy like that is out there. All I'm saying to you is this was not a playboy. You know how you talk to a guy and you know this guy's name. You interviewed her. Of course, yeah, absolutely. No, no, what I'm trying to tell you is, of course, what I'm trying to tell you is, this guy was not a player. You know how you talk to a guy around girls?
Starting point is 00:29:40 Like, I remember when Adam said this. Adam's like, oh, Gerard and I went out. Let me tell you, man, Gerard's pretty good with the ladies. He's pretty calm. Okay. I mean, yeah. How long did it take you to realize that guy's gonna be comfortable with her? Two days, you wanna have to be able to install the girl?
Starting point is 00:29:51 I was talking to her. So, I was like, this guy just undercut me. But you ever go hang out with a guy and all of a sudden, like, do this guy's awkward or wrong? You ever met a guy? This guy was the awkward one. I'm not sure. Yeah, so, you know anybody that's awkward or not?
Starting point is 00:30:03 So, here's the thing I'll say, all right, and this is the truth, and this has been my reality with this because I have so many friends that have experienced exactly what you just described, man. And it's an escape from reality. So when you talk to your kids and stuff like that, where you can tell them, don't do drugs, don't do this, don't do that.
Starting point is 00:30:22 If they're broken inside, if something's happened to them, where spiritually they're broken, depression's a real thing. I don't know what happened with this guy. Maybe he climbed the mountain. With this is something I'm seeing that I never would have expected at this stage of my life. My friends who have kind of like, quote unquote, made it,
Starting point is 00:30:38 they get depressed for having made it. They love the chase. They feel like they have no purpose anymore. That's when they start the party and then they do all this other shit. I swear to God, I have no way to quantify this. But I thought about this when I was in the minors. I would see guys start doing stupid things. And I'd be like, they're doing this on purpose because they're giving themselves an out.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Because it's an incredibly hard thing to be like, I didn't make it because I just wasn't good enough. That's a hard ass thing to come to terms with. I'm looking to mirror and say that's a hard thing. But now to be able to be like, oh man if I just stop drinking, oh man if I didn't get hooked on the candy. And then you give yourself that little bit of out that it wasn't me, right? And I swear, I see it now. You got guys 40 years old, they're married, they've got the mansion, they got,
Starting point is 00:31:25 but life is kind of, it's kind of flat lined for them. And they need to see it destroyed because they wanna see if they can build it back up again. There's something inside of them that has this self-destructive compulsion. And as far as the kids, you talk about that awkward being socially anxious, you talk about like a guy who goes to a bar. There's a kid who goes to a bar.
Starting point is 00:31:46 I can't talk to a girl. I don't have the confidence unless I'm drunk, unless I'm high. It's a pretty easy thing to go up to a liquid. They quit courage. More than that, you go up to a girl on Miami. This girl's a beautiful. It's hard to, you know, but it's like,
Starting point is 00:31:58 hey, I got a bump. You want to go to the bathroom? It's like, boom, break the ice. Or we're going to a party. And it's like a socially acceptable way to break that ice. And that gets the guys aren't hooked on Coke. They're not hooked on whiskey.
Starting point is 00:32:10 They're not hooked on weed. They're hooked on that culture because that's how they identify being able to get in. You know, so like when you talk to kids and when you have these conversations, it's not about like, don't do it or else. It's like, dude, you have to figure out a way to be confident in yourself
Starting point is 00:32:25 and take care of your spiritual and your mental well-being so you're not susceptible to these things. You hit the nail on the head with the cocaine thing because I've been there, I've seen it everywhere. It's a party drug. People, it's a social drug. Okay, you know, it's cool, it's sneaky, it's going to bath or more, whatever.
Starting point is 00:32:40 The one thing I will say, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said about the drugs, the pills, the popping, you know, the only thing that I will say, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said about the drugs, the pills, the poppin, the only thing that I'll say is with the marijuana, nobody's overdosed on smoking joints. Never in the history of the world. You know, so you have people that are like, Bill Marr is a huge weed advocate. He says, vocally, I smoke Joe Rogan. I mean Elon Musk on his podcast, there's people out there that definitely use the creative
Starting point is 00:33:04 benefit, medicinal benefit, but there's people out there that definitely used to create a better medicinal benefit. But there's two different conversations here. The one conversation is, should it be legalized? I'm a libertarian. You want to do whatever hell you want to do to your body? I'm just telling you, it's going to slow you down. I agree with that. If you got big ambitions, if you want to do something big with your life, stay the hell away from drugs and alcohol.
Starting point is 00:33:20 If you have big ambitions, you want to do something big with your life, stay the hell away from drugs and alcohol. That's my feet. Now the person can do whatever they want to do with their lives. That's up to them. As my grandmother would say, Pat, you can't fly with the Eagles in the morning if you're out with the owls at night. Oh, damn. That's my grandma. What a grave. I can't say it one more time. You cannot fly with the Eagles in the morning. Yeah, there was a smack in the out with the owls. You can't soar with the Eagles in the morning. If you're out with the owls at night, my family. Why does your grandma sell like that?
Starting point is 00:33:53 You can't. You need enough cocaine. I think I had a certain age. Everybody come to your house. Are you saying owls do cocaine? Is that what you're saying? I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I had home prices. Prices are up in a month of October, but it falls in a month of November. So I'm gonna read you both of these stories. First one about is by CNBC, the SMB CoreLogic case, Schiller, 20 city home and price index, out to ZECLIMED, 18.4% in October from a year earlier, the gain marked a slight declaration from 19.1%
Starting point is 00:34:19 year over year increase. In September, what was about in line with what economists have been expecting, all 20 cities post a double digit annual gains. The hottest market was Phoenix up 32.3% while Tampa 28.1 Miami 25.7 Minneapolis and Chicago smallest increases Chicago and Minneapolis smallest increases anybody surprised. 11.5% last week mortgage rates fell to 3.05% for the benchmark of 30 years and fixed rates are 2.66% for 15 year fixed rate home loans. Anyhow's story comes out about November. National home prices fell in November as sales
Starting point is 00:34:55 remain risk. Although home prices across the nation, remain risk. November brought some relief for buyers as median sale prices fell 2.9% to 3.30. The largest monthly decline since the beginning of pandemic, since the beginning of the pandemic had dropped 3%. Meanwhile, the number of available homes remains low. The number of homes for sale fell to new loan 14-year history of report declining 17.7%. One product that a smaller home inventory is at houses, aren't staying on the market for too long. The average home sold in November was on a market for 29 days. That was only the sixth time in history of the report that the average time on the market dipped below 30 days.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Tom, I'm gonna come to you with this year first. If I'm thinking about buying or selling, how should I think, if I'm a buyer, how should I think, if I'm a seller? What are your thoughts? Well, hear me now and hear clearly, you need to get into a house as soon as you can. How should I think if I'm a buyer? How should I think if I'm a seller? What are your thoughts? Well, hear me now and hear clearly, you need to get into a house as soon as you can
Starting point is 00:35:49 in sensible negotiation, of course, because we are heading to be renter nation. Translate these three facts. Number available homes remains low. Stuff that's on the market is on the market less than 30 days. What that means is anything that comes out there is selling getting bought up. Investors are buying this up corporate investors are buying it up. PE investors are buying it up because there is a ton of capital out there.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Pat you seem to have mentioned on a few podcasts that we've printed a lot of money in the last year. Yep. That capital is being lands upstream, not downstream with people. It lands upstream at the end of the day. And we're about to become renter nation because what you see here is big money is buying up these homes and you're going to be rentant. So if you can... I don't know what that means Tom. So I'm confused here. So you said go buy because big money's buying up properties and you're going to be a renter, unpack that for me. Yeah, so if you can't get into a house soon, within your means, within your means, you are probably going to be in a position where you're renting because these houses are being bought up,
Starting point is 00:36:59 there's a lot of corporate buyers out there. There's a lot of PE buyers. I got you. So corporate buyers are buying regular residential homes. Yeah. Not even condos, not even townhouses, just homes. Single fan, matter of fact, I read an article this past week where there is a PE investor said, I think we're in the early innings.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Actually, and it was, it was A. Rod's partner, A. Rod, who said, I think we're in the early innings of the single family home investment market where you buy large consolidations of homes, run them through property management, and America becomes renters of single family homes, not talking condos, not talking apartments. That's what this is going. You're saying this only applies to single family home. No, no, no. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I'm saying there has always been large investors that bought large numbers of M.D. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and this is the conversation that we've had. The rent is two damn high guy up in New York. This is what happened. Corporations came in. In New York, you're saying? Yeah, in the city. Yeah, Bizzuto, number one of them, all right? They come in and they buy entire blocks. And then what they do is they insulate themselves from any sort of market prices.
Starting point is 00:38:19 So a year ago, when everybody said New York's dead, it's leaving, everybody's leaving. Prices never went down on rent, because these guys can take as many losses as they can. They're selling off shares. They're getting it on both sides. They're selling off shares on what they own based on the price points on what's on rent.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Exactly. So they sell the shares off and they're making money. Then they take losses off of what they earn if the assets underperform. So they insulate themselves from any sort of market function. You look at yourself and you say, how in the how is this still $2,300 for a one bedroom up in Jersey City? Well, because everything's $2,300,
Starting point is 00:38:52 they set the market price. And now they're going even as far as Zillow, they have this, they got sued for a lot of money. I think it's still in court. They were artificially raising the prices based on the corporate entities that own the prices. So you own a house, right? You can't sit on the house for two years,
Starting point is 00:39:11 you're a normal human being. You're like, all right, I gotta get a good offer and I gotta go live somewhere. But if you're a corporation, you can sit on a house for 10 years. You hold the asset, you use it as leverage to get other assets. And you just artificially inflate the price in the market.
Starting point is 00:39:24 So what really happens here, man, we wanna talk about income inequality, leverage to get other assets. And you just artificially inflate the price in the market. So what really happens here, man, we wanna talk about like income inequality. This is, where's AOC when it comes to this shit? Where's the Democrats when it comes to this? Who has access to credit? Credit score is the number one income inequality in the world. It's not education, it's not money, it's not salary,
Starting point is 00:39:43 it's access to finance. Who has access to the money that you need to get this mortgage? Correct. And the leverage that you talked about, these investors, they're not paying 3.05%. They're paying less. So the interest cost that they have to recoup there when they're renting it to people is low. It's all time.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I tell them they're taking the money from themselves. Correct. They're loaning the money out to themselves. Yeah, here's a question for you. Next year's midterms. Okay, during midterms, do rates go up? The rates go down? Do you flatline the rates? Do you manage? Because the formula would inflation is what? If inflation is high, how do you control it? You raise interest rates? You've down okay right so inflation at 6.8 do you think we're gonna crack 7% percent when the next report comes up okay so let's just say we crack 7% a lot of us think we're already there all right some people are saying we're at 10 or 11% but let's just say the numbers come out
Starting point is 00:40:37 publicly we crack seven if we crack seven how quickly think the call is made to Powell to raise rates to control inflation well didn't Powell already announce that he is going to raise. I have seven times as what Golden and Sacks is saying it's going to be raised next year. I think the call was made 30 seconds before they make the announcement on the inflation. Okay, so fine, if that happens, all I want to know, I'm the buyer, I'm the seller. Rates going up, rates going down, 2022, am I a buyer? Am I a seller? What, what am I in 2022?
Starting point is 00:41:04 Knowing the fact that to control inflation, I get increased the rates. You gotta be a buyer right now. You gotta be a buyer if you can be. If you've got the savings and you can get in, you need to be a buyer. Because I don't think these asset, we may have a bubble where it pops down like,
Starting point is 00:41:22 oh, 809, but we're back above that, and then some and then some, right? So I think you gotta be a buyer within your ways and means. But you gotta be, otherwise, because there's an appreciable asset under that, that the government is gonna, I mean, look at Fannie Mae here, 3%, 2.66%. That's very low cost.
Starting point is 00:41:41 I agree that you need to be a buyer, but what I disagree is that you have to be within your means. I think that right now, if they're giving out free money like candy and everybody is using that free money, you get yours too. Right now, if they give you, if anybody, and this goes against everything that I was brought up believing this goes against everything that I was raised,
Starting point is 00:41:57 this goes against all the Austrian economics that I believe in. But if you have access to credit right now, take it. Take every single dollar somebody will give you the free money train The gravy chain has to come to an end at some point and even though More with you as long as you can service it you have to be even at a low interest rate You have to be able to serve every single dollar they want to give you you take because I guarantee you they are taking it I get out of that stimulus. We just did what three $3 trillion? $3 trillion. What did you get?
Starting point is 00:42:25 What did you get, America? $1200 bucks? You're gonna pay for every single diamond at 12. Of that $1200 bucks. You're gonna pay for every single diamond of that stimulus. What did you get? $1200.
Starting point is 00:42:37 You got to get yours at this point, man. Well, listen, there's one next. Or I think you guys are both missing the boat here. You guys are making blanket statements. I think it's where you're at in life. If you're gonna be in the same city for the next decade and you've got kids and you wanna lock down and you know you're gonna be in your best ability,
Starting point is 00:42:51 sure, buy. But if you're like most of America right now and you're working from anywhere and you're working remote, you're moving, you're grooving, you're next thing, you know, you're living New Jersey. Now you're in Dallas, now you're back in New York, now you're back in South Florida, and you don't know where you're gonna be.
Starting point is 00:43:04 The last thing you freaking need is to lock yourself one of the mortgage, because there're back in New York, now you're back in South Florida, and you don't know where you're gonna be. The last thing you freaking need is to lock yourself in the mortgage, because there's something called house rich cash poor, because it's actually, this is a fact out there that 100% of foreclosures happen when you have a mortgage. So there's a lot of people out there that buy a house, because they're fed by a house, American Dream, you got it by a house,
Starting point is 00:43:22 and they get in the house, they're like, holy shit! I didn't realize that I need furniture for this house, and I didn't realize that I got to pay maintenance, that I got to pay taxes, that I get insurance, and I can't afford this fucking house. Yeah, but Pat wrote an amazing article. What, what are you, D, D, right, that article? You never put it back in 2008.
Starting point is 00:43:35 No, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I'm making. I'm making, I'm making, I 2012 years ago it was a, I think ended up being a cover store. There you go, home buying, go, go, go the clear logic. And I was renting at the time. And I had a half a million dollars in a bank and I was still renting at the time. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let's go back up. We're not going to go right past those bell bottoms. Oh, that's a bell bottom guy.
Starting point is 00:44:00 What's going on here? The bell bottom guy. So full disclosure, I'm in a very similar situation. Were you married at that point yet or not? Oh, yes. Okay. We have T-Call ready. Okay. Got you. I'm in a similar situation. I've got a lot of cash in the bank and I'm renting and where have I lived in the last 24 months? But Adam, you're you're an anomaly. Okay. Because you choose to live this minimalist life at the age of 40. That's not a very, very common. So you're not everybody.
Starting point is 00:44:28 You're probably one in a thousand of a person at your age that's chosen to live like you. You're living below your means. You're a saver. You're not a Gucci guy. You're not a Farragamo guy. You're not any of those guys. You don't, I don't see what a Rolex.
Starting point is 00:44:41 You're very much of a, you're exactly that the rich man like what's the next door? The billionaire next door. That's who you are. I read that book and change my life. Exactly who you are. So your philosophy works for a hundred percent of people. If they apply, it's going to work for them. My question is more or less of somebody right now that's sitting there saying, who has the means, who has got money in the bank,
Starting point is 00:45:05 they got two, three hundred thousand dollars, but they got a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand to put on the down payment, and they can still afford to go out there and live in that place. Should they still wait a year or should they go pull, you know, make the decision to buy a house in 2022? That's what I'm asking. I think what he's saying, the way I see it from his perspective is the following. The people that bought all of these properties,
Starting point is 00:45:26 it's like a comp. Here's what I mean by comp. Say for example, hypothetically, I don't know, let's pick an example of an insurance company. Say AIG is about to buy 40% of his company for $200 million. Okay? And his company that is buying for $200 million,
Starting point is 00:45:50 AIG is putting their own money to buy that 20%, 40%, you get to go on at $2 million, okay? Out of the $200 million, which is what? 1% of $200 million, right? AIG is optimistic, they can turn this thing to $5 million company within the next three years. Do you think AIG is gonna let you lose your money? So you're banking on, there's no way they're gonna lose
Starting point is 00:46:09 their $198 million, my two million is gonna make money. So these private equity guys are not gonna let themselves lose money, so you have to bank on the fact that they're not doing this, assuming they're gonna lose money. They kinda know what they're doing long term. So you had, you can't, you're almost going with them. That's what he's trying to say. So, and I think the rent's going to flip, right? I think because remember rent
Starting point is 00:46:29 rent has to contain has to contain marginal value interest, maintenance, and the property taxes. It will. And so I think the rents are going to be above ownership costs. Are you familiar with something called the the price to rent ratio? Yeah, exactly right. But when you have the discount, when the money is so cheap, the offset there for the tax deduction on the interest flow. Totally, totally understand. So buying a house today is cheaper than renting the same exact house.
Starting point is 00:46:58 No, it depends on what city you're in. Well, I'll have to have something called price to rent ratio. But Adam, I think that this is the part that you're right, but I think is escaping you is. A landlord is shifting. Well, that's the thing. Once they own all the property, once you have no option of ownership, they can make the rent whatever they want.
Starting point is 00:47:17 What are you going to do? They can turn around tomorrow and they could be like, all right, rents four grand for this one bedroom. It's a four-legged monopoly. Yeah, what can you do? They own it. It's market control. So unless you have-
Starting point is 00:47:28 Scroll down Tyler. Which, by the way, if you own one of those properties, you can do as well. Keep going. You know, one of the best quotes in the sopranos, guys, the best quote in the sopranos was, you know, I don't want to name that California bullshit. And the second best quote is- Keep going, I'll tell you one. By land, AJ, because God ain't making any more of it.
Starting point is 00:47:46 All right, yeah. By the way, you don't need to even look at it. I'll just tell you with case studies with families that we're looking at, okay? I got a lot of guys right now that are looking to buying homes. And it ranges from half a million out of homes. It ranges out the way up to 10 million out of homes.
Starting point is 00:47:57 The guys are trying to buy, right around me. Every single one of them, they come back and they call me, rent is 50% higher than you buy in the place and they call me, rent is 50% higher than you buying the place. Rent of the same house is 50% higher than buying the place. It's moving. Guess what the biggest challenge is with most people, having a down payment. Right. So if you're buying a community, if you're buying a million out of home, do you have that
Starting point is 00:48:18 20% to put down $200,000? Daily Boy is going to be on the podcast for the very first time. Nice. Dylan, you're giving us a break from real estate. Come here, Dilly boy. Hey, boy. What's up, big boy? How you doing, baby?
Starting point is 00:48:30 Good. Did you guys win? Yes. You got, come around here. So people can see you, come around here. Come stand over here, Dillon. Dillon, uh, uh, I want to sing cards, ma'am. No, we got the shingards.
Starting point is 00:48:40 We finally got the shingards. Yeah, we got the shingards. Show how about it, though. Yeah, we finally got the shingards. Dilly, can you tell everybody coming here for me real quick? Come closer to me here, right? What are four things we do as a family? Leave effect, truth and love.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Do we bully people? No. Do we get bullied? No. What are four things we pray for? You know it. Lead? No.
Starting point is 00:49:07 You know it? Lead, no. You know it. No. Wisdom. Wisdom tolerance. Understanding. Curry. Curry. There you go.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Good stuff, Deli Boy. The bass. He had grab a seat with us. Grab a seat with us. You can eat your chips. And you can just simply sit there and scan. Is it chips? Well, awesome.
Starting point is 00:49:28 All right, so let's continue the next story that you can sit there and enjoy with us. But we're going to go to the next story. OK, so page number four, Tesla owner blows up car after $22,000 repair quote. Can you imagine blowing up a car after a $22,000 repair quote. This is a daily wire story. Tesla owner Finland chose to blow up the car after receiving a code of $22,600 to fix it. When I bought that Tesla, the first 923 miles, 32 miles were nice. Then error code hit, the owner said. The video claimed he was approximately 66 pounds of dynamite in the epic explosion of his 2013 Tesla.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Model S, the detonation was filmed in Corey reportedly Jala Finland, the owner was told, the only way to repair the vehicle was to replace the entire battery pack the car originally was sold for only $5,700, $400. This is the video, by the way, if you wanna make it bigger, make the video a little bit bigger,
Starting point is 00:50:21 so we can all see it. And let's see what it looks like when he blows this thing up. Oh, look at that, They're all strung. Tell you boy, watch this. Oh boy. This is serious. So the light show going on. Okay. Wait for it. Holy moly. Yeah. He was not kidding. Oh boy. Holy moly. There's parts heading of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:50:46 That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:50:54 That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:51:02 That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. to safely detonate the late Tesla. What do you think about that? The car is very bored. Yeah, this is in Finland, but the look, what's the most you've ever paid for repairs? Maintenance, a couple grand? Not not $22,000. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:51:15 What the 20, you get an invoice or a service invoice for $23,000? The battery, parents. Whatever the hell it is, that's a say. How much is an average battery when you buy a regular car? What's a battery? $100,000. The battery parents. Whatever the hell it is, the battery pack. How much is an average battery when you buy a regular car? What's a battery? 100 bucks, 200 bucks?
Starting point is 00:51:29 No, this is the battery pack. So this is the entire undercarriage of the car. Get that. That's like the engine, essentially. It is. It is. Exactly. How much is an engine for a regular car?
Starting point is 00:51:38 Like a couple grand, three grand. It's $4,000, max. Right? Is that fair to say $2,000 to $4,000? You know what I drive. I drive an AMG and 10 years old and I love it. But I look this up, you know, a full replacement, a full rebuild from people to do this properly.
Starting point is 00:51:54 12, 5. To fix the AMG engine. To give me the core of the engine 12, 5. That's an $80,000 car. That's when I'm pointing. And so that's only 12 and this is 22. So 40% of the price at a car. That's what I'm pointing. And so that's only 12, and this is $22. So 40% of the price at a car is the battery. So I want to know how common this is.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Yeah, meaning I would be blown. I don't know. What kind of psychopath is that? There's a part of this story for me. It's like, first of all, you're going to blow. If this guy blew up the car, I guarantee he's got money. Because even if it's $22,000 to repair, you pay $57,000, you can probably sell the car to somebody for $30,000
Starting point is 00:52:28 So there's more story to it. It's got to be a guy that's a business guy It's got to be a guy that's like can you just screw the market's gonna talk about it. Let me just blow this thing up Can you just buy dynamite and Finland like you just buy yeah, that's actually a very good question Pro shop and bought 30 pounds of All your xenomites me like he was wily coyote. I was like I'm going I need Exactly, I got a link here with his bio. He is a software programmer I'm going to blow up my car. How do you do today, sweetie? I got so baked and it did something really dumb.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Where's the car? Bill and he's talking about baking like a nice cupcake. Sorry, sorry. Yeah, Bill. Okay. Next, Door Dash story. Let's go to the Door Dash story here. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Page three, Uncle Thomas, very excited today, which is fantastic. Uncle Todd. All right. Every DoorDash employee from engineers to CEO will make deliveries. This is a CNN story. DoorDash is asking its employees,
Starting point is 00:53:36 all the way up to ranks to its CEO to make a delivery, at least once a month, some are not cheering the news. The on-demand food delivery company, New Year, will reinstate a program called We-Dash that it has paused during the pandemic. As a company grew, the founder wanted everyone to experience different parts of the product, so we could get closer to our audiences
Starting point is 00:53:54 and understand how the product works. A DoorDash employee comes back who's making $400,000 a complaint about a company while in initiative, requiring that he personally make one delivery a month. This is an insider story. Door-dash making engineers deliver a mandatory We-dash starts next year.
Starting point is 00:54:11 We need to dash once a month. We will be tracked and performance reviews. What the actual F had inside up for this. There's was nothing in the offer letter job description about this, I'm delivering. Well, I mean, obviously that guy right there is definitely a believer of door dash and what they do.
Starting point is 00:54:27 But what do you think about the story here? How much you want to bet that guy went to an Ivy school? Yeah. I'm going to bet that I actually agree with you. I actually absolutely love this idea. There's nothing worse than a higher up corporate bureaucrat or whatever you want to call it who's completely out of touch. You're out of touch.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Completely agree. Completely agree. All of us. You know, to be a man of the people to understand your product, they use the word specifically closer to our audience. This is exactly the purpose of why they're actually doing this, I assume, though, Tom, so you understand what it's like to deliver and be a driver and deal with the traffic and deal with an angry customer,
Starting point is 00:55:01 like to put yourself in the average worker shoes. And this one guy who's making 400 grand is too cool for school to do a delivery a month, bro. Get a life. I completely agree. You know, it was interesting. And the first company that got involved with Pat, he evangelized me into it. And I thought it was great.
Starting point is 00:55:20 And what I did, and he knows this, when I was in Uber's, in Uber, I would talk to the Uber driver. And I would find out people that were looking to do a little bit more, looking to do things. And I recruited not one, not two, but three that I passed off to agents or at the company. And I thought, Uber drivers.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Well, yeah, but the point is I ran into people and Uber had to be the situation. And I said, hey, check out PHP. Look at the opportunity you could have here. If you're looking for making a little extra money, this is a way to do it, also serving a market. So I came to appreciate at that moment exactly what every one of our agent does when they were working with it.
Starting point is 00:55:57 So I think this is good to be out on the front line. I'm a product that is, Jaime Godina, who worked at Yalpin Ford. It's 2002. He sold me a Ford Focus, stayed up to 1130 to sell me a Ford Focus. Payment was 228 a month. I was so broke, I lost my expedition, I couldn't pay the payments, and I'm at the lowest point in my life in 02. Years later, I said, when I was sitting with him, he told me, I said, what car should I buy?
Starting point is 00:56:23 He says, well, what do you want to get? I said, what do you have? It's a great question. Let me show you the cars that I have. I have this, I have this, I have this. It was all four products. I love the fact that a guy who owns the product is selling it to me.
Starting point is 00:56:39 I have a hard time if you're selling Mercedes, you're driving a BMW. Yeah, like what you're doing. Eli Manning was doing the commercials for Tollet of Corolla and I was like, get out of here. You're going to drive to driving a BMW. Yeah, like what E-line Manning was doing the commercials for Toyota Corolla. And I was like, get out of here. You're driving Toyota Corolla. Yeah, exactly like it. And he hops in the G-Wagon, goes home.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah. So the point is, there's a drive to Toyota to my G-Wagon. There's a part of this that I like, and guess what this does? The guy who's running DoorDash just realized who doesn't really believe in the concept of what they do as a company. And there's too much of a high corporate executive that's not going to get their hands to dirty to go out there and say, no, maybe this is what I got to do under some, what everybody else does. It helps you get closer to the folks that also work.
Starting point is 00:57:17 My question is, who would think this is a bad idea other than this engineer who's probably just wants to sit in front of a computer all day, maybe he's baked or not, cookies, of course. Why would... Why is this a bad idea? Play devil's advocate here. This is not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea. Exactly. I can't even think about it. That's a bad idea. That's a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:57:32 I can't even think about it. I can't even think about it. There are many chaps and issues you're already doing. But I tell you, I've been in many meetings where you launched an initiative and all of a sudden, you know who's in and who's not. Right. It's a filtering process. And I love the fact that DoorDash announced is, they'll push a little harder to open up.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Go a little lower and push it harder to open up. A little lower, there you go. Let me tell you, man, this actually annoys me so much. Like, I don't even want to use DoorDash. Like, this one guy being too good for it, but don't let that happen because the CEOs do the right thing. I look at it at the opposite way. I actually, this is on my radar.
Starting point is 00:58:05 So I like to care about the customer. I actually have more respect for the more-dash now. Totally agree. I like the fact that the CEO and the founder thought about this idea. Like think about it this way. We were talking about the NHL yesterday, right? NHL just announced that they will not be sending
Starting point is 00:58:20 their players to the Olympics. NHL, the players union agreed to it. They just said, we're not sending players to the Olympics This is an AP news right commissioner Gary Baton made made the announcement ones they making it official what seemed inevitable in recent days When a rash of positive COVID-19 test results caused several teams to shut down the list of Post-Pong games balloon 250 give the profound disruption to the NHL's regular season schedule Caused by recent COVID related events Olympic participation is no longer feasible. Bateman said, the league will use the previously scheduled February 6th through
Starting point is 00:58:49 20 seconds. Olympic break to make up those games and others that need to be rescheduled. Okay, great. Here's a guy that makes a decision. Say, Nick, we're not going there. So who's going to be playing? Just lower level people are going to be playing for. I like when sometimes decisions are made from the top.
Starting point is 00:59:04 You hear who complains. you hear who doesn't complain, and you move with the people that are supportive of the decision that's being made. I support Dorian. Is that just Americans or is that any NHL players? And that means Canadians, Scandinavians, Russia, everyone's affected. So you're telling me that Vladimir Putin
Starting point is 00:59:21 is just gonna go around if he's pissed. Exactly. So I don't know if this is gonna work. It's okay. You think so, if you play in the NHL, that's it. Is Vladimir Putin gonna pay players $7.8 million a year? Maybe if you disagree with Putin, maybe you don't have like, you don't live in Russia, though.
Starting point is 00:59:37 You live in Canada, you live in the US. You have a problem putting your skates on if you have no feet. I think they're gonna be okay. Fauci says you I should consider vaccine mandates for domestic air travel but doesn't expect it now. You know what? Go about him. Don't you feel a warm fuzzy feeling every time he gets on TV? He's always right. He's always right. Everything he says is powerful.
Starting point is 00:59:57 There's something about him that's just very warm and fuzzy. This is a CNBC story when you make vaccinations a requirement that's another incentive to get more people vaccinated. If you want to do that with domestic flights, I think that's something that we should seriously consider. There's no indication at this point that a vaccine mandate is on its way for U.S. flights when asked Fauci decline to say whatever he has made the recommendation to President Biden. Already U.S. passengers wear masks to board planes and keep them on the duration of the flight except when eating or drinking international travelers must also show proof of vaccination
Starting point is 01:00:26 and a negative covetous in order to board on a u.s. bound flight and also wear a mask so do you think i had i had the uh... allen dorshe with son and i had can't uh... heckin lively on both of them wrote a book that came out on october twenty six One of the books was titled, the Case Against Vaccine Mandate. The other one was titled, the Case Four.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Who is a vaccine? Who is against? Alan Dershowitz-A-Four, Kent is against. And I ask Alan the following question, which is a little bit disturbing. I said, Alan, all the stuff that's going on right now in Australia, he says, what's going on in Australia? I said, Alan, you mean to tell me you're not following?
Starting point is 01:01:04 He says, no, I'm following it, but I want to know which part of Australia you're talking about. I said, well, in Australia, if you don't take the vaccine, you can't work, you can make income, you have to stay home, you can't get out, you can't do nothing, right? That's what Australia is doing. I said, how different is US's constitution versus Australia's constitution? Meaning, can if Australia's constitution doesn't protect the minority from the majority, is the minority in America protected from the majority with the constitution the weights written. He said if America wanted to do the same thing that Australia is doing, they can do it as
Starting point is 01:01:36 well. The constitution permits us to do exactly what Australia did. And FYI, do you know what this guy taught at Harvard Law for 50 years? Constitutional law. Do you know who his student was? Soto, but bloody so a torre. Brack Barack Obama was one of his students. So if if Fauci is saying something like this They will rarely say something like this. They're preparing you to say brace for impact in the next two to four months This may be coming your way.
Starting point is 01:02:07 I wholeheartedly disagree with why, I don't think domestic, I don't think any of us are gonna agree with domestic mandates on. But do you think it's coming, though? I don't think it's coming. Okay. I mean, I think we've, in my opinion, we've dealt with the worst
Starting point is 01:02:22 of the pandemic already. I've had this all my wrong cases we've ever had. Yeah, but it's the weakest variant, they say. That it's going around like Texas just went to... Like all four. Code red. Texas just went to Code red. But here's my question.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Do you think international flights to come in the United States, which are, I assume happening right now, that you need to have vaccine mandates for international travel. If you go to Canada, you do. If you go, say it again. Canada requires proof of the vaccine. Okay. I'm saying no to fly into United States.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Don't you need to have proof of vaccination from any country all the world? Or a negative state? You're saying that they're too coming in. To come in, exactly. International travel. I don't know. I think it's negative. I don't think it's.
Starting point is 01:03:04 It's one of the other think it's one of the other Tyler look it up. You need to have vaccinated or negative test. When I came back from the vacation of Mexico, that you need either a negative COVID test PCR or your vaccination. So here's the PCR test. They just the CDC just basically came out and said yes, a third of PCR tests the way they can be they can be positive up to 12 to 16 weeks after you're no longer. Well, no, it says here in the article, international travelers must also show proof of vaccination
Starting point is 01:03:31 and a negative COVID test in order to board a US bound flight. And also, by the way, here you go. So David, this is, this is, this is coming from the embassy. Last updated December 17, 2021, all non-immigrant. You David, you're non-immigrant, right? Or you're, you're all non-immigrant. David, you're non-immigrant, right? Or you're all non-immigrant. That's a non-immigrant. You S, there you go.
Starting point is 01:03:50 So non-US citizen air travelers to the United States will be required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane to the United States. So if you come to America, then you're not a citizen. You have to be back. Do you agree with that?
Starting point is 01:04:07 Not at all. My aunt just came from Columbia. She didn't have to show any proof of vaccination. Or was it before December 17th? Yeah, she's come. That's one side before. Oh no, I mean, she came, she's been here. She's still here.
Starting point is 01:04:20 When did she come? When did she come? She came this year. No, no, no, no. This is December 17th. This is seven days ago. This is 10 days ago. They just changed it 10 days ago. Are we gonna this year. No, no, this is December 17. It's seven days ago. This is 10 days ago. They just changed it 10 days ago.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Are we going to talk about? That's what I'm saying. That's just 10 days ago. The two million people or two and a half million people that have crossed the southern border that don't have to be vaccinated. They don't have to have a mask that nobody actually gives a shit about. You can just walk across the border and be you could have Ebola. I was just saying that's a complete difference.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Are you asking dangerous questions? You're asking dangerous questions. You're asking dangerous questions. But go back to it. You guys still haven't answered my question here. Do you think in the next two to four weeks, eight weeks, we're gonna get to Pumber Fouch, he's gonna get up and say you have to have a vaccination proof vaccine to travel domestically?
Starting point is 01:04:59 I don't. What do you think, Gerard? No, I think this is, I think this is a dog whistle, letting you know that it's coming. That's what I think this is. I think this is, just letting you know it's coming. And it's weird, because it's coming on both sides of the mouth, right?
Starting point is 01:05:13 On this side, I think they're prepping us for it on the air travel side. And then yesterday, we said, we're gonna go from 10 days to five days because we're concerned about the economy, we're concerned about too many people being, you know, that we could actually bring the economy to a standstill. You saw that, that's what we said.
Starting point is 01:05:29 That's true. If we have all these people on a variant that's not so severe, but required on a 10-day quarantine. So, on one hand, he's worried about the economy. On the other hand, he's not worried about the economics of the airlines and he's saying we're going to do this. But I think it's coming and I think they're a little bit on both sides of their mouth and scientifically. Why is he still not fighting?
Starting point is 01:05:52 The scientific inconsistency in this is pretty shocking. But what I'm trying to say is why is he not fighting? They're into deep, somebody else's. Yeah, they're into deep and that's an admission that they lost control of it at this point if they fire him because they went so far about, they deified this guy. I don't know about that because let me tell you, the Democrats can spin it all they want and say we never brought him into first place anyway.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Somebody else did. It's just time to have him work out. You know how long he's been in that position as the head of the... 39 years. Do you see what's breaking? Do you see what's been in this dream? He's been in this dream. Did with Fauci?
Starting point is 01:06:23 Yeah. Jimmy Kimmel did everything with Kimmel and he's in gargle for this guy on TV. So we're talking about this story. He was so good. No, Jimmy Kimmel does it either way. I don't really care. Here's the thing. Oh my.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Yeah, listen, I would have agreed with you guys a week ago. I don't agree anymore because the last two days, they have dumped so much on CDC. They're read, you can dumped so much on CDC. They're, they're, you can see the spin machine coming and they're doing it right now during a dead news time. They're doing it when everybody's, we're in this weird kind of like,
Starting point is 01:06:55 the nation's on vacation right now. We got that weird time between Christmas and New Year's and they're loosening the restrictions, they're loosening the mandates. They're, it came out, I believe it was Pfizer and Moderna, now have myocarditis for kids, they have a, what's it called, a warning on them now? Well, this was completely safe for kids,
Starting point is 01:07:15 now it has a warning. So they're trying to come to reason, and then the spit is gonna be, oh, we were always the reasonable people, because right now, even with the entire CIA behind them, there's so many people are going to vote against them in the midterms that they can't, they can't cover. There's not enough dead people in Chicago to cover their losses right now, right? So I think what's happening right now is a massive pivot towards, and let's just be honest,
Starting point is 01:07:40 right? You can disagree with me, all you want, Adam, but Democrats love COVID. They love it. They'll never admit it, but they love it. COVID got rid of the orange man. COVID gave them complete and total control. COVID gave them the key to the castle. It gave them the opportunity to completely. Now when you say Democrats, you're talking politicians or people. It's hard for, degree because I don't know anybody. It's very anybody. Republican Democrat, moderate liberal that loves.
Starting point is 01:08:08 I think you were specifically talking about you. Nobody loves COVID. I disagree. And this is why if you're talking about politicians and deep state, okay, maybe we're going there. I don't know any Democrats that are like, bra, love that COVID dog. I love, I love getting sick. They love the power that it gave them.
Starting point is 01:08:26 What? By the way, by the way, but there's a part of him, I agree, but it's not everybody. So I don't put you in the democratic community that he's talking about, okay? The other day on the flight, you guys saw that video with the lady's punching a guy in the face and then the same for the playboy model,, a playboy model and she was in Baywatch, right? Excuse me, Raider Nation cheerleader. Let me just add that. Well, you shouldn't add that because that's an embarrassment to anybody that's a
Starting point is 01:08:53 raider. I'm sure you should have given that yourself covered in it. We were about to give some kind of real pride to Raider Nation in a minute here with John Madden, but it is what it is. The Raider Nation will forgive you. It's headlines. It's every. I'm giving you a hard you. I'm giving you a hard time. I'm giving you a hard time.
Starting point is 01:09:06 But check this out. Check this out. So this girl gets on the fly. Have you seen this video or no? I heard, I saw a headline. I didn't see the actual video. Can you pull up the video? The lady. So she gets on the fly. She keeps telling this guy,
Starting point is 01:09:15 put your mask on. Tell him to put his mask on. Put your mask on. Her mask is down. She's telling this other guy to put his mask on. What? And then she says, she says, take your hands off me and she calls them something and she says,
Starting point is 01:09:29 shut up, bitch. And then next thing, you know, just pull up the video on Twitter right there. Play the video. You can play it. She punches the guy in the face and spits in his face. Oh, and fuck. This is a former, if you go on Twitter,
Starting point is 01:09:40 you'll find a video a lot sooner than the way you're trying to look at now. And the guy was 80 years old. Just go on Twitter, yeah. The guy was like, I was like way you're trying to look at that. And the guy was 80 years old. Just go on Twitter. Yeah. That was a thing. 80 year old man. What?
Starting point is 01:09:50 Yeah, he was 80 years old. Okay. He was 80 years old. Click on that. I don't know why you're not click on it. Click on it. There you go. There should be.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Go to go back to Twitter. So I'm on. Okay. Don't you just have to get it done? I'm not defeated man. Yeah. So anyway, so she punches him in the face. You can't find it.
Starting point is 01:10:11 She has her mask down. No, no, she has her mask down. They love what you're doing mask on. They love it. I don't. Yeah, brother, but I don't like they love New York. I look like I hear okay, Francisco.
Starting point is 01:10:23 I don't know what's going on in New York, but I don't know anybody Republican or Democrat that quote unquote loves COVID. They love it. I don't know what that even means. They love it. They love their. They're in. Val Davis was still alive. He would have said wait a second. How fast is she? Can she play corner? That's the radar way right there. It's right. I like this. Just swing, baby. Yeah, Tyler can't get it. So anyway, she, she, I know it's all over the place.
Starting point is 01:10:49 I don't know how you can. They'll never admit it, Adam. They'll never admit it. But who's that deep, dark crevices of their cold progressive heart? They are people that do like, I do see Democrats progressive, Rashida Taleeb. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:04 I actually, who are you talking about? I hate small businesses. They hate small businesses. Here it is right here, by the way. OK, make it bigger. You put a volume on. Make it bigger. Chainment Tyler.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Make it bigger. And then go fast for to like 30 seconds because you're going to have to wait a long time. We need John Madden. So here she is. Boom. Look, she says put your mask on. Punch him in a face
Starting point is 01:11:41 Good I hope she does go to jail a little scratch there you see the closet But there are people who like the fact that they can use this as a way to tell you what to do But she doesn't even have a mask on But that's like I've seen hypocrisy before but this is just insane level of She's not alone. Be honest with her. She's quiet There's quite a few people like that out there. Again, I'm talking about the Democrats, but it's because it's them, bro. Like, and you don't have to answer.
Starting point is 01:12:09 How do you know she's a Democrat, though? But I'm saying, how do you know? I'm willing to make a significant difference. I've never seen a Republican that passionate about someone putting on their match. That's coming from a Democratic. They call their COVID care. All right.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Anyway, so go back to it. Did you go to jail though? When they will land their out. If you continue with the video, the lady keeps recording. Cops came in, took her out on a horse, she went out to work. Just to go forward. David, real quick. Dude, the French laundry.
Starting point is 01:12:40 These guys put all of California on lockdown and then they're out eating with each other's shoulder to shoulder at $1,000. Do as I say, don't do as I do. It's nonstop. This Maria Antoinette shit is nonstop. Yeah, when you're right here. Right, that's right. That's right.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Psychopath shit, poppins, yeah. And that's fine, that's fine. It's, look, this leads to, so again, now you have to realize to me, if you make any more bad decisions between now and midterms, everybody knows it's not gonna be pretty. But Tom, if let's just say they flip 70 seats, 80 seats,
Starting point is 01:13:11 if it's a blood bath of all time, you gotta figure out a way to not make it the blood bath of all time, that's embarrassing. It's so bad that the story comes out folks, just yesterday, on what's taking place, where's that story at, in regards to people retiring, where's that story at and regards to people retiring where's that story at a da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da as 2021 comes to a close. A trio of Democrats in a House representative, Representative Stephanie Murphy of Florida, Lucille Roy, Roy Ballard of California,
Starting point is 01:13:52 Albeo, Cedas of Jersey. Last week said that they'll retire at the end of the year rather than run again in 2022. Midterms for another term in Congress. The latest news brought 23 to the number of House Democrats who are retiring or bidding for another office rather than run for re-election in 2022 with when their party tries to defend its razor-thin majority in the House. The GOP needs to net gain of just five seats in the 435
Starting point is 01:14:17 member chamber next to Regan House majority. It lost two Democrats in 2018 midterms. Republicans have history on the side on the average party that wins the White House and a presidential election loses more than 25 seats in the ensuing midterm election. How ugly you think it's going to get to the point where guys are retiring. Well, I think there's three things going on here. Thing number one is they know what you're about to say, Pader, what I think you're about to say is correct. Right now, look, history's not on your side. Midterm is usually tough for the party in the White House. Okay, we have to contain our losses. Point number one.
Starting point is 01:14:51 But point number two is we have so much going on social. There's not, this isn't just a controversy, you know, like with Monaco Lansky or something. This is a nationwide multi-year pandemic that's hitting the economy. And now the wave is pushing back against the administration. So the administration has got that going on. And then the third thing that's going on is this is also historical. Right now you've got a lot more Republican governors. And what is happening in the States is all the redistricting, which is why we've got these districts that look so frickin' weird the way they're set.
Starting point is 01:15:25 And so you have redistricting. Somebody called it. Jerry Mandering. Yeah, it is for Republicans or Democrats. It's Jerry Mandering. And so right now you've got a lot of folks that are feeling like their alternate party governor is Jerry Mandering them out of the seat that even if we didn't have all the COVID and all the national pandemic and everything that goes with it.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Right now, there's a whole bunch of people that are being jerrymandered right out of the seat. So, and this is a trick that both sides use, but there happens to be more Republican governors right now. And so I think they got a contain, they have to contain, contain. And when these folks can announce retirement early, they can at least get maybe something of a candidate up. That's what I think is going on here. Yeah, well, they're also, you know, when red landing happens, man, the far left and the party is where all the money is.
Starting point is 01:16:14 That's where everything's coming from. And they're primary and their own people. So there's a people don't realize there's a civil war within the Democratic party right now. Oh, absolutely. And the progressives have won. The progressives have hijacked Nancy Pelosi, they Pelosi, because that's where the money is. And people like AOC, we talk about a lot because she's a firebrand and all that.
Starting point is 01:16:31 She's not a very powerful person in terms of what she can actually accomplish as a legislator. As a legislator. But she's an incredibly powerful person with her voice, her ability to raise funds, her job. Yeah. Are you talking about AOC? Yeah. So what they do, what the, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her,
Starting point is 01:16:47 her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her,, Kathy Dolly, full of string on. Very, very, very, very, very, very dangerous human being. So what happens is that they don't run in purple districts. They don't put progressives up in purple districts. They don't go after Republicans. They go after Democrats. They hollow out their own base.
Starting point is 01:17:20 They go after heavy blue areas and then they run to the left of that. And that's what you're seeing, you know, the new New York governor, probably why Cuomo was ousted was because he was for all intents and purposes of moderate in today's world. And they wanted far left push, hard left push, wanted to get on board. Got rid of them. So when you're looking at what's happening right now, you're going to see the left double down and triple down because they're going to lose in the midterms.
Starting point is 01:17:44 And you're going to have, I guarantee you, mark this right now, an hour and a half into this podcast. AOC is gonna grandstand and say, they didn't ask us to help, they didn't ask us to fundraise, they didn't ask us to come in, and she's going to blame the bloodbath on the fact that they tried to appeal
Starting point is 01:18:02 to the moderate voter instead of rally a left base. She wants to win on the fact that they tried to appeal to the moderate voter instead of a rally of left base. She wants to win on the fringe. She's not here for America. She's here for the revolution. And that's what's happening right now within that side. That's where the money's going. Yeah, but okay, so let's just say that's the case. Fine, you won a different angle.
Starting point is 01:18:19 The angle I'm going right now is, are they going to be even more extreme between now and midterm? So you said, I don't think they're going to make a what do you call it, domestic travel mandatory to be showing your vaccination card. Here's what I will tell you. I think it's a bad move if they do. I think it's going to hurt them even more at midterms if they do. I agree. I agree.
Starting point is 01:18:37 I agree. I agree with that. But by the way, here's the part, if they're strategic, don't do it. If they do it, they're going to piss off a lot of regular people that their job relies on me off. Like I'm not even double vaccinated, you know, I'd be like, do what you do. Yeah, exactly. Let me ask you this. Yeah. Can the Republicans keep Donald Trump shut up long enough to win the midterms like they need to win? Yes. Can they keep him not hold up? No, no, no. Are you saying to win the midterms? They're going to win
Starting point is 01:19:04 the midterms. Yeah, I agree. The only thing that's going to rally the left to come back No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Let me read that since you're saying that because this takes it to a story that came out with Trump a McConnell, right? Let's go into that story because it's appropriate with what you just said 52% of Republicans disapprove of Mitch McConnell as Trump ramps up his pressure campaign to topple people. This is an insider story a New Gallup poll found that 52% of Republicans disapprove the job of Mitch McConnell was doing as Senate Majority Leader as former President Donald Trump continued to call for the Kentucky Republican ouster, meanwhile 46% of Republicans said they approved a McConnell, a small approval rating in comparison to 71% of approval rating by the same group. For his counterpart, in the other chamber, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy frequently refer McConnell as the old crow.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Trump has criticized the Kentucky Republican for not sufficiently indulging his claim of a stolen 2020 election for help and to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill and for cutting deals with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling. He continues to say you're asking questions is going to stay out of it or not. Trump's as he lenders alasking governor Mike Dunlavy for reelection as long as Dunlavy does on back GOP Senator Lisa Mur Morkowski's reelection campaign, former president Trump's praised the president, the governor Don Liby that's running, complete and total endorsement. This endorsement is subject to his non-endorsement of Senator Lisa Morkowski who has been very bad for Alaska, including losing, and war, perhaps the most
Starting point is 01:20:41 important drilling site in the world and much else. Morkowski was one of the seven GOP senators who voted to convict Trump in his February impeachment trial. Should Don Lovie fail to meet the conditions Trump endorsement would be null and void and of no further force or effect the former president said. So what does this mean? Story came out yesterday saying if Trump, Lindsey Graham said if Trump wants to be a nominee, he can just say today, and he's a nominee.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Lindsey Graham quoted yesterday saying, if Trump wants to just come out and say, he's gonna be a nominee, he's already probably. Well, nobody shocked that to use Gerard's term, Lindsey Graham is gargling on Trump's. Yeah, but orange man. I don't think that was gargling. That's what he's making a clear point.
Starting point is 01:21:22 But the point is, listen, you guys are infatuated with this gargling stuff. I don't know what's going on with you guys. We just want a clear point. But the point is, listen, you guys are infatuated with this car going stuff. I don't know what's going on with you guys. We just want to our breath to smell. Guys, what are you doing for New Year's Eve? Go have some fun for New Year's Eve. Oh, it's so hot. Breaking, moldy.
Starting point is 01:21:34 So, the whole house is a membership and it's expensive. I know, if you know that or not, I wanted to kind of bring that up. But here's a point. He has so much influence today that he's poking everywhere. He's a kingmaker. He is a kingmaker, but at the same time, he's not sitting on the sidelines. So here's a question.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Here's a question. Say Republicans. Say they want to replace McConnell. Who's another person that could be someone that could give a fight for his money to be that? Because this is about to flip here in a minute. Rand Paul, I would say Rand Paul or Ted Cruz. Rand Paul or Cruz, they're two of the most hated guys. No, do not put Rand Paul on Ted Cruz hateability scale.
Starting point is 01:22:20 Well, no, wait a minute. There's my cuddle and Ted Cruz on like the least like people in the world. I put Rand Paul. And then Rand Paul is what I mean. I said from the by the left. Rand Paul, are you kidding me? Have you seen what he's done to Fauci? He literally tried to kill him twice. I don't think people hate Rand Paul as much as Ted Cruz.
Starting point is 01:22:34 I'm saying the left. I'm not agree. I'm saying they still don't hate Rand Paul as much as Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is one of the least like, listen to any of the hearings. Yes, I have. And with that, nobody likes Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz parents don't like Ted Cruz. But this is exactly.
Starting point is 01:22:48 This is exactly, you know, hates Ted Cruz. It's made all of our rorkes. Yeah. The Trump called his wife ugly and disgusting. And he's like, you got my vote. Trump, I mean, nobody likes Ted Cruz. Yeah, that was before he had the beard. Now he's tough Ted.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Yeah. In Cancun. The look, this is exactly what I just said, AOC is doing. This is bad for American politics. The polarization working towards the fringes, it used to be you had to win the center to win. Yeah. Now it's working towards the fringes is where the money and the volunteers are. And it's again, we're just in this constant cycle of this pendulum, this, this a galean dialectic of getting further and further and further away to the edge. Somebody said Jim Jordan, by the way.
Starting point is 01:23:28 What do you think about Jim Jordan? Tray Gowdy. By the way, Mitch McConnell's. Tray Gowdy, bring him back. Tray. Mitch McConnell's horrible. McConnell, Mitch McConnell is awful. Mitch McConnell is in the Dick Cheney, George Bush.
Starting point is 01:23:38 He's a globalist. He is part of this. Again, my issue with the Democratic Party, this modern incarnation of the Democratic Party, this modern incarnation of the Democratic Party. We talked about this when Matt Zeller is they don't give a shit about the American citizen. They are all about their international buddies. They are representing the international community.
Starting point is 01:23:59 They are representing global interests, not us. That's my issue with them. And that's my issue with Mitch McConnell as well. Mitch McConnell is a give a shit about Kentucky. Mitch McConnell cares about his standing on the worldwide stage. And the more politicians that we have, that we elect, that represent global interests
Starting point is 01:24:20 instead of their constituency, the worst this is gonna get. So, I mean, that's, that for all of his, all of his evils, for all of the things that you don't like, Donald Trump, he never once appeared to care about global interests over the American citizen. That I have to get. I have to get. I mean, he tried to break, break up global alliances.
Starting point is 01:24:41 Something to be said about. NATO is pretty important though, don't you try to. He's trying to disband NATO. We try to get France to pay their freaking bills. Exactly. He picked fight with our allies. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing we can debate. No, nobody did that.
Starting point is 01:24:53 But again, we have, but I can't let you frame it in that way. We can't allow it to be framed that way. Having somebody pay what they're contracted to pay is not the same as picking a fight. If I owe you $10,000 and you come to me and you're like, gee, where's my money? And I'll be like, whoa Adam, let's not pick a fight. That's not picking a fight. That's a, pay up.
Starting point is 01:25:14 Fuck you, pay me. Pay me. Again, whether that was right or wrong, he still did pick a fight with, I mean, he cozy to dictators. Excuse me, excuse me. Excuse me. Right. Cozy to dictators excuse me excuse me cozy to dictators co-stay rather
Starting point is 01:25:27 a little Putin and excuse me this is more cool this is more cool rather than get along with you're going to what's wrong and what mom was it that's what what was the mob movie where the guy comes out I think it was Joe
Starting point is 01:25:38 Pesci guy comes up to him was like I you know I got a I got a thousand dollar bill whoa you want me to pay this bill? You're embarrassing me in front of all my friends. How dare you embarrass me like this? That's what you're talking about. That's how, how Democrats act like how dare you embarrassed
Starting point is 01:25:53 friends make them pay their bill. Oh God, we're wealthy. We'll pay it. Screw you, Macron. Pay up. Pay up. How should he have handled it? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:26:02 How should he have handled it? I liked that about Trump. I liked that he didn't, you know, cow-tow to the global interests. I liked that about him. What I didn't like about him is that he picked fights with people he didn't need to pick fights with and he pissed off people he didn't need to piss off.
Starting point is 01:26:17 The guy wanted all the smoke all the time. Yeah. Didn't need that. But having somebody that actually for the first time in years seemed like they cared about the American citizen and not the global interest was very appealing. Well, in my opinion, I think he would have had
Starting point is 01:26:32 a lot more people on his side if he would have explained how you would explain it. Hey, listen guys, I'm here for America. And what's happening is these guys have a contract to pay 2% of their GDP, but he did. Not well, Pat. But, no, but he did X-Roy. He had a giant half percent of their work.
Starting point is 01:26:49 They were, they were, we even talked. They were articles showing exactly what they were not paying and how much, how much of it America was paying. Exactly. They were showing it. I remember that. So, listen, if somebody said he should have sold that better. Well, let me, let me tell you rather than, let me tell you why he couldn't, okay?
Starting point is 01:27:07 And I agree with you, but this is also what needs to be understood about the moment. Who owns the New York Times? Who owns the New York Times? You're saying the media wouldn't cover? The media covered him a little. That's what I'm saying, but who? Who? But who?
Starting point is 01:27:20 Who? Who? That's what I'm saying. But who? Who? Who? God. You're so close at him. You're so close. Just one more step. Who owns the media? Well, obviously the Libs. But they are gonna go China with this.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Where you go with this? To Big Taco. Global community. Okay. So if the global community owns the tech giants and owns the media giants, and Trump is going after the money of the global community, how the money of the global community.
Starting point is 01:27:45 How do you think the global community who owns those, those information disseminators are going to present that information? He's going after our peeps. You need to write something, baby. That's it. Yeah, people, I'm talking about TV. TV. I'm not talking about articles.
Starting point is 01:27:58 Most people aren't reading the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post or any of these outlets. They're just watching TV when they're seeing or Fox. MSNBC. If they just Trump goes live. Sure. On, if you Trump went live, they'd cover on every network. It's not biased. He's going live. But with ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox News, and you can still say those words. People could see it. And if you would explain themself rationally, he would have had a bet. He would have had more people in his corner. Okay, but I don't fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair fair of freaking perching missiles that we put in their backyard to protect their ass from Russia back in the day,
Starting point is 01:28:46 and now. So, he's saying, I need you to pick up the tab for this, and you are a Western nation with a thriving economy and the means to pay, and our taxpayers, even though there's a benefit to keeping Russia on the defensive, shouldn't be paying it for you. If we elect, you know, aid missions and go around the world for other things,
Starting point is 01:29:05 then we're going to do that. But I want you to pay your bill. And Adam, on this specifically, it was explained. It's just there is a lot of people out there specifically in the global media that didn't want to hear this. Here's how you got to look at it. Adam, the average person goes like this. Average person goes like this. Average person looks at Trump and they're like, oh, what do you say this makes sense? Hey, mom, CNN, MSNBC, is he right? Is he right? No, he's not right.
Starting point is 01:29:32 It's not fair to give one of our allies like friends such pressures to have to pay their debt. They're going such troubles right now. What about the families? And they're like, what a greedy bastard you want to make? That's how this thing works. I don't know of those kind of kind of kind of like. Okay, maybe but I think some people can
Starting point is 01:29:48 not everybody's watching the TV with their mom. No, no, no, no, no. 30-year-old man is watching the TV. Mom can I say in day? People can say in day. They are mom. They are mom. Mom is CNN and MSNBC.
Starting point is 01:30:00 That's what I'm saying. I'm going to do Pat. Mom is there CNN and MSNBC. They're looking at that saying, what a day, how? You're gonna try, you're making a challenge there. I thought they were looking at how I tried to do it. Dude, I agree with that so much because I've actually tried to rationalize what happened in my mind and the closest analogy that I can come up with is Hillary Clinton and every
Starting point is 01:30:17 Karen in the world, they divorced America. They were like, I'm done with this shit. There's nothing, you ever met a woman going through a divorce? There is nothing that ex-husband can do. He ain't shit. There's nothing you ever met a woman going through a divorce. There is nothing that ex-husband can do. He ain't shit. There's nothing that dude can do. He's a deadbeat. He's this.
Starting point is 01:30:30 He's that. There's nothing he can say. There's no jokes that are funny. There's no food that tastes good. When they are done with you, they are done with you. And listen, liberal white women call it what it is. Liberal white women divorced America. Divorced it. Divorced Donald Trump. Liberal white women divorced America, divorced it.
Starting point is 01:30:45 Divorced Donald Trump. They divorced America when America chose Donald Trump. They said, I'm done burning this place to the ground. Give me my pink hat, I'm a going marching. And that's it. They were done with it. There was nothing that man could have done where they would have given him any sort of credit whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:31:02 We reached the he ain't shit moment of the divorce. We're talking about NATO right now, and allies, right? Is that what, no, I know, I know you, but this general discussion, yeah? No, no, that's what we're talking about. It ain't your fair share. It led to you claiming that he was divisive with allies. And then he brought up saying the fact that it was towards France because France wasn't willing to pay their fair share.
Starting point is 01:31:24 France and other countries. They expected America. France and other countries. They expected America to pay for it. Do I agree with what you're saying? Yes, let me just throw something back at you. Just for food for thought, is Donald Trump a brilliant marketer? Yes, I agree. Yes.
Starting point is 01:31:38 Did he not come up with simple catch phrases to prove his point? Like hope and change? Not about that, but... that, build the wall. Build the wall. Build the wall. I didn't actually find out that funny. That was good. I build the wall.
Starting point is 01:31:54 I believe you. Lock her up. What else? Drain the swamp. Three words. You're telling me he couldn't have come up with make NATO pay? People would be like, oh, I can't. I can't tell you.
Starting point is 01:32:05 That wouldn't have been a bad fucking idea. Donald Trump Jr., we know you're listening right now. Adam Soss is available. Adam Soss is your next campaign. Make NATO pay. People would have done it. I don't know. It's not a bad idea.
Starting point is 01:32:19 People would have got it. If you're listening, I get a triple ex make NATO pay t-shirt ready. Yeah, we'll wear that on the next It's simple. It's effective people will get it rather than picking up with allies He's a good marketer come up with something like that. Hey up friendship rather than going on and on I love you gonna down there. We go. That's all I'm saying. I love it. Oh my gosh there we go. That's all I'm saying. I love it. Oh my gosh. We've all got to compliment the compliment. By the way, Tyler, can you put that up please? Can you put that up
Starting point is 01:32:48 real quickly? This is why this is why currently the most trending the most and I'm talking about the highest of the most trending merge we're selling today for all of our attainment is this right here. Jason Gibson tweeted our Christmas is here. Thank you, I think he didn't just order one color. He got the white, the black, the hats, the vitamin. Let's go Adam. Yeah. If you don't, by the way, even Adam wears a shirt.
Starting point is 01:33:13 Let's go. I was rock. I was rock. I was rock. Can you, can you, hey, if you're on, put the link below to go in and order in the shirt. Let's go, Adam. If you're pay up, French, he's next.
Starting point is 01:33:24 I know. You know, we need, he's a brilliant marketer. Guys, whether you like him or not, he's gonna want to get two more stories. Time's up. Time up, David. Okay, okay. Let me go to the next or,
Starting point is 01:33:33 CDC shortens COVID-19 isolation recommendation to five days for asymptomatic people after some disease. Experts said 10 days was way too long. Go to page five. Tom, I think you got something to say about this. I'd like to go through two other stories after this. It was a steadfast rule for most of the pandemic. People with COVID-19 were isolating for 10 days or they were asymptomatic for 10 days for the first positive COVID-19 test.
Starting point is 01:33:54 But the CDC altered the recommendation on Monday. I met a steep rise in Omicron cases across U.S. people with COVID-19 who don't have symptoms should isolate for just five days, then wear a mask around others for another five days. The CDC said his decision was motivated by the understanding that most coronavirus transmission, of course, early in the course of illness, generally between one and two days before symptoms arrive and two to three days after a person becomes symptomatic, Tom. This is just, they're just moving the,
Starting point is 01:34:23 they're moving the goal line here to benefit themselves because you should just translate what everything that Fauci said to, we are very worried about the economy. Oh, okay, I meant the midterms and it goes back to what we were talking about before. This is, they're just manipulating this for the benefit of the economy because they do see that if a bunch of people with moderate symptoms on a strain that doesn't appear to be as intense and I would know something about this is now we can move it down to five days because we don't want to bring
Starting point is 01:34:53 the economy to a halt because now they need to care about the economy. Yeah, this is garbage trash politics 101. If they keep going the way that they're going everybody who gets like Pat said earlier, if you get infring the way that they're going, everybody who gets, like Pat said earlier, if you get infringed upon, that's a vote, I'm done, I'm done, one more thing, I'm just done with these people. So what do they do instead? They can't admit that they've lost the war on COVID. They can't admit that this thing,
Starting point is 01:35:17 they've lost all credibility. So what they're gonna do now is the same thing, what a new administration does when they come into a city and they quote unquote unquote clean up crime. How many COVID cases we got about can you go up to COVID cases. What's the thing? Well, there's a thing you call the cases. You clean up crime by saying, oh, instead of petty theft being if you steal up to a thousand,
Starting point is 01:35:35 it's if you steal up to 10,000. So petty theft is down 100%. Yeah, it's not. People are still stealing a thousand dollars worth of stuff. You move the goal line to 10,000. Now they want to take a victory lap. Watch in a. They'll be taking a victory lap that there's no Compa cases, but all they did is just change the guy By the way, if the other party is in charge go to go to from three months to
Starting point is 01:35:55 18 months up a thousand percent go three months to all time. Yeah, watch this year. This is cases all time Trump Goes till whatever the date is. January 6th. I go to January 6th, and then it drops and then spike. Not just any kind of a spike, a massive spike. Now go to death, go to instead of top left, instead of clicking new cases,
Starting point is 01:36:20 this looks like a crypto chart. Watch this, watch this, what this looks like. Okay. Up, up, down, cases are high. That's having caught up, which means the percentage is lower than what it was with a year ago. But it's still a spike on where they're out right now. So, okay, all good.
Starting point is 01:36:42 Let's go. So you think Tom, this is a gimmick. You've got to comment on this. I just have a question. I'll go for it. I. Let's go. So you think Tom, this is a gimmick. You've got to comment on this. I just have a question. I'll go for it. What I want right now is manipulation. What I want to know are solutions. Meaning, none of us have medical degrees.
Starting point is 01:36:55 We can complain. I'm how much we hate Fauci in cases. And I think we all have strong opinions. What's your solution to what's happening right now? When solution oriented. When the Democrats lost LeBron, that's when everything changed. I really believe that. When LeBron sent out that tweet of Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man,
Starting point is 01:37:14 where it was COVID, cold, flu, that sent shock waves through everybody. Again, it was a solution. We lost our profit. If we lost our profit, then we've lost everybody. And they pivoted immediately. I really believe that was the impetus for the pivot. It's not. So what's your solution to call that two months ago?
Starting point is 01:37:28 It's not that LeBron's gonna change the game on COVID in China. Watch in the next six to 12 months. LeBron also tweets something about China. That's against China. Six to 12 months. Watch. Why?
Starting point is 01:37:39 Watch. Just watch. You call that, you call that last five dollars? Bet you a dollar? Bet you a dollar. 2020, it happens. 2020, 2020, 2022. At $1,'s your dollar, bet you dollar. Bet you, bet you, bet you, uh, 2020. It happens. 2020, 2022. But can we, can you give us some, can you give me some solutions here? Can we get a solution? So what is it? It goes away. It goes away. We live our lives. What goes away?
Starting point is 01:37:57 Well, it goes, we live our lives. You're talking about, you're talking about the solution for this. Just in general, we take it. It's real people are yet again. You made a comment. You made a sarcastic comment. And you said, none of us here are doctors. Okay. I didn't say, I didn't mean it like sarcastic. I meant like what's our solution? Just wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:38:15 Wait, so all we're gonna do is complain. None of us have a solution. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop complaining. If you wanna wear a mask, no, I'm sorry. I'm gonna let you live. So let me live my life. Let me ask you guys a question.
Starting point is 01:38:27 Meera, por favor. Go and permiso. Oh, I'm asking you. You know, it's fair that it's, I don't know what else to say to you. I'll say it with a Mexican accent. It's good, Shaykoyo. Yeah. So do you know who Robert W Malone is?
Starting point is 01:38:41 That's the Robert W Malone? Yeah. Who is he? He's nobody on TV. Do you know where he is? So he is the one that invented the mRNA technology. Okay. He came out with the mRNA technology. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:54 And he has called out against his own invention, saying this is not, you know, it's not good. Yeah, he is fighting and arguing against it. The guy had 511,000 followers. His account got suspended. He's on Joe Rogan today, okay? So here's the thing. Small little podcast.
Starting point is 01:39:13 When? Yeah, I don't know if you heard it, the guy. He's a pretty solid guy. Yeah. So Joe is gonna have him on today. Spotify's kicking ass shout out to Spotify, FYI. Everybody that wondered if it was a good move to go to Spotify, Joe Rogan was right to go to Spotify,
Starting point is 01:39:29 and kudos to Spotify for saying, we don't give a shit, we just want eyeballs, they're capitalist, phenomenal, gotta love it. Hopefully the leadership doesn't change, by the way, with the direction they're going. Here's a point, you said, well, we're not really doctors and experts, you know, we're not saying That's the tone I felt I felt that we're not really don't you want me to say to you in Spanish now
Starting point is 01:39:52 Let me make a highly Conocent should Cornell Cornell lights scholarship, but not for a second. There's a point. Here's a point. The point I'm trying to make to you is The point I'm trying to make to is even, the point I'm trying to make to you is even doctors who are experts cannot even voice their opinions today, that's the problem. The problem is, Fauci only goes on podcasts and channels that are asking questions that he agrees with. The only person, go to your guy, Dr. Mike, whatever the guy named was Dr. Mike. Pre-COVID goes to my guy now. Okay. He was your neighbor's, what I'm trying to say.
Starting point is 01:40:27 Pre-COVID, the guy had three, four million subscribers. You know how many subscribers got on YouTube? 10, 11 million. You know why? Because on the home page, it was always Dr. Mike, Dr. Mike, Dr. Mike, and guess what Dr. Mike did? After we did the interview, Judy Mike of it. Dr. Mike gets up and says, she has no clue what she's talking about.
Starting point is 01:40:44 She's this, she's that, I call, book or calls. We get him to book. He can so the debate would Judy Mike of it's because God forbid if she calls him out. So these are a bunch of cowards, if you ask me. If you have the audacity to face an opposition, if you, Dr. Fauci, feel your argument as so solid, come to our podcast, go to Rogan's podcast, face off somebody, let's see a real good debate. That's why I respect.
Starting point is 01:41:08 If you're that confident, you're right, I'm not the expert, I'm not the doctor, I'm not the virologist, go to the beta virologist that disagrees with you, I agree. And that American people are. What's wrong with that? There's nothing wrong with that. How does that benefit people in power?
Starting point is 01:41:21 So, but the solution, he asked what the solution is. To me, the solution is debate. To me, the solution is not put in debate, the solution is, let's put it debate. Guess what? Remember that one girl that represents NRA? What's the girls doing that represents NRA, the attractive girl? Dana Lash.
Starting point is 01:41:32 Dana Lash, she's a beast, right? Guess what? They do a town hall meeting. Have you seen this town hall meeting that they did with Dana Lash and they brought a cop and they brought all these guys, it was like seven against one against Dana Lash. Can you pull up Dana Lash, debate, town hall, whatever it was,
Starting point is 01:41:45 just to show the picture images, not video. You know what she does? Here's what she does. She sits there in front of nearly 10,000, 15,000 people, I don't know how big the audience is. And she debates everybody, makes her point today, make fun of her. That guy disagrees with her.
Starting point is 01:42:02 She simply sits there and gives her case. Every boo, boo, boo, it is the most disrespectful session towards her, but she had the audacity to sit and face off representing the NRA. I'd love to see Fauci sit again, somebody that disagrees with them, but no, God forbid, we can't have debate today in America. His handshake if you get a question from Randall. For a bit, we cannot have a debate in America today. So that I think is a solution and we have a problem
Starting point is 01:42:28 because we don't have a problem. So your solution is have debates. I agree with you. That's an understate. Yeah, okay. It's an understate. Like Sanjay Gupta went on Rogan, he gave him tough questions.
Starting point is 01:42:36 From respect to him. From props to him for doing that. What's your solution, James? But it goes beyond debates. My solution is to admit reality. Right? Right now they're trying to social engineers. One of the stories we may not get to is about Thomas Payne. And that's just indicative of everything. This is one of the American founding fathers. And if you post a quote from him, your page gets taken down. So it goes beyond. It's not about not even having
Starting point is 01:43:01 the debate. Now they're actually suppressing. They're suppressing information. That's a problem. That's counter to the narrative. The narrative is all. Power is all. I agree with you. I actually full on, full on, agree with you. But how does that handle COVID?
Starting point is 01:43:17 What do you mean? Dude, can we even have a discussion on what's real and what's not on COVID? My page got demonetized. My Facebook page, 125,000 subscribers. Demonetized for saying, guys, this very clearly came from a lab in Wuhan. Year and a half later, everybody now admits that.
Starting point is 01:43:34 My page is still demonetized. It'll never come back probably, right? So if you're fighting against an apparatus, all right, that has all the power. And they are trying to social engineer a reality that doesn't exist. Right? What you're saying, what the solution to that is, the solution to COVID in particular, this isn't, this is no longer about COVID, this hasn't been about COVID for a long time. COVID isn't the issue. Government's reaction to COVID is the issue.
Starting point is 01:44:00 People have figured out how to live with COVID. People have figured out how to survive in this world. A lot of people, you can't, like for example, when the guy in Texas died of Omni Cromb, you know, and everybody all over that we have our first Omni Cromb death, it turned out some in in trepid journalist one, if there's left in the world, called up and said, can you confirm the coroner's office? Can you confirm that this guy died of? He goes, well, he died with. We don't know if he died of it. So, whoa, why won't you say he died of it? Well, because we really can't confirm if he died of it,
Starting point is 01:44:29 it was present in his body at the time of death. So now, how many of these deaths, how much of this hysteria can be re-died most? I think debate is a solution, to be honest with you. I agree. For me, I love the fact that these guys are being held accountable, that somebody can push them and me, I love the fact that these guys are being held accountable that somebody can push them and say, I disagree with you. But the word disagree you can't use
Starting point is 01:44:49 today. We sit here and we talk and what do you say? I don't know if I agree with you guys with the home pricing. I think so many people that are behind the house and they can't even afford a two-year-old, say they lose house, I don't. Yes, what? Fantastic. Let the audience sit there and say, I agree with Adam. Tom has no clue what he's talking about. I screw Pat. I agree with Tom. I don't know about Gerard I agree with Gerard Pat how do you have debate? We can't have that at the next level Pat How do you have the next level serious question? How do you have debate if Dr. Mike says the company line and gets 10x the amount of views and if you say solution he has a solution, but but might rebuttal to use the following rebuttal.
Starting point is 01:45:26 First of all, you know, you know how, when these guys get into a ring and they get knocked out and they're like, oh my gosh, what a moron. The guy got knocked out. Look at his ass. Fricking a marathon. It was terrible. The guy got in the ring.
Starting point is 01:45:38 Tyrone Woodley. No, no, no, while I'm trying to say, he had deodacity, they're not tyrone Woodley. Anybody. Anybody. He had deodacity to get in the ring, right? Like, I hate to watch Fator's last 10 fights because it's just hard for me to watch his last 10 fights
Starting point is 01:45:51 because it's like, you know, it's a, Fator's a Fator, like a legend, right? Here's a point, Trump got into it with anybody. You wanna, CNN, you wanna buy Trump? You think if CNN invited Trump to the, he'd go on TV tomorrow? You think if MSM is about to Trump, he'd go on MSMBC tomorrow?
Starting point is 01:46:04 Like this. He's not afraid. When's the last time you saw Biden on Fox News? Yeah, never. But again, when's the last time you saw Biden on Fox News? So now let me go back to him on the question. He heard he goes on Fox News though. That's why respect Bernie.
Starting point is 01:46:18 What have you heard me say about Bernie? I think Bernie is a true believer. I don't think Biden is a true believer. Here's a point I'm going to give the answer to Gerard. So he said, I think there's a major, what I don't think Biden's a true believer. Here's a point I'm gonna give the answer to Gerard. So he said, I think there's a major, what did you say about the Democratic Party? There's a civil war going on, right? I think there's a civil war also going on,
Starting point is 01:46:32 a little bit on the Republican Party. It's always the other party that's got the civil war. The Republican Party doesn't have a civil war. Who's a spokesperson for the Republican Party? Who's got to be Trump? No, I'm not talking like, like you know how you said, the real powerful person for the Democrats is But the point is who's that guy behind closed doors? It ain't car wolf used to be 20 years ago Who's that guy today who's sitting there saying hey stop bitching?
Starting point is 01:46:54 I'm kidding. I'm stop bitching Stop allowing a freaking Forbes to be sold to China 95 percent the next time Twitter's on sale by the damn company. TikTok, USA's for sales by the damn company. Like, remember when Trump pushed TikTok where TikTok was forced to sell to a US-based company, do you guys remember that story?
