Gentlemen we're live are we really so you're the opening voice is that what it is going forward?
I have to do just higher yourself
Did you just higher yourself walking around restaurants bumping into women pissing them off?
To the lady that David bumped into on behalf of our entire crew we apologize
David sometimes does tend to do that, but it is what it is.
Anyways, how you feeling?
I feel great.
I'm glad you're doing this today.
Absolutely.
We just decided on doing this literally a few minutes ago,
45 minutes ago.
And I know we've had it up, but it wasn't agreed upon.
15 minutes ago.
15 minutes ago.
You're right.
Yeah, 15 minutes ago.
So people are already saying VivaLPB, thank you, five bucks.
You didn't talk about Pandora papers in China clapping
Clamping down on internet's last podcast
We will get right into that. We have a few different things that we're gonna cover
Let me give you some of the stories that we have that we're interested in talking about and we may do one fun topic
Okay, just one we may do one which would be what would be what would be your superpower and why we may talk about that thing some people would want to yours
Mine specifically. I want to know yours Adam big time now. I want to know what love is
I mean Gerard on cue
By the way, you guys were like this
When we when we lived in
Skokie, Illinois, we were part of a
barbershot quartet. I can say that.
We were doing that. I can totally
shout out to chance.
I don't know what to do. So so by
the way, can you grab Adam's latest
additional playboy he had on his
list?
We got to talk if you have a
discrabbit. Oh, we got to
just grab it. So we'll talk about
that Bitcoin price is apparently
is $55,000 today. It's really not stop and Donald Trump
dropped off Forbes list of wealthiest Americans for the first time in 25 years. Maybe Daniel is right
You know Daniel has some said Trump's never been a billionaire before but anyways, we'll cover that
Biden doesn't leave that he was not a billionaire of course
He's a billion Biden warns meteor headed to crash into US economy and debt struggle folks if you're in English
It's not your first language. He's not saying a meteors headed to or because
I thought that's what he was talking about at first meaning the economy is
about to take a massive hit if we don't extend the what do you call it the
three and a half trillion dollars or Thomas saki won't say whether
Hunter Biden has divested from Chinese private equity from can you imagine
can answer simple question like that
Trump says he knows what would happen if faces the Sanctus in 2024 presidential primary
I talked about this last week when I said this will be a problem
Literally a day and a half later. He answered so maybe he listened to the podcast and said I would and I'm gonna read it here in a minute
But go ahead, Jordi gonna say something. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, going on. What's different now? What do you mean what's different now? You're not
even waiting today. You're going to go out of right off the moon. No, I didn't understand
what you mean. The GOP has a Donald Trump problem now. Yes. Like something's new today with
Donald Trump. But do you know what he's saying? That's what I'm asking. Yeah, he's saying
like you're going to have to go through him meaning he's not backing down. Right. So this
is obviously they have nothing to gain from it. Yeah.
They were never going to win.
There was nobody that they had that was a candidate that was going to carry the election
against Hillary Clinton.
So Donald Trump was a necessary evil for the GOP.
So I thought we'd just say what he said.
This is a Fox News story.
Trump says he knows what would happen if he faces the census in 2024 election, primaries.
Less than a week before he returns to the state that kicks off the race for the White House. Former president Trump is says in a new interview that if he
runs for president, again, most of the Republicans would drop out. But if Governor DeSantis
also makes a bid for 2024, GOP nomination, Trump emphasized, I would beat him. He would.
Trump remains the overwhelming frontrun in all the extremely early polls in 2024. But
in hypothetical question, would Trump not on the ballot, the Santas and former vice president, Mike Pence, topped a large
field of potential contenders in the survey, the Santas pushed back against 2024 speculation
last week, telling Fox News host John Hannity, I'm not considering anything beyond doing
my job. So Trump is already saying, I would beat the Santchez. Somebody in the GOP, somebody needs to get in there
and just figure it out before it gets on camera.
Somebody needs to get in and say,
I don't care if it's rock paper scissors,
I don't care if it's red light green light,
I don't care if it's flip a coin,
we can't have these guys go out there.
Let me ask you, what would Ron DeSantis do
to Joe Biden in a debate?
Would it be the biggest massacre in the history of debates?
Would it be the rhetorical equivalent of an early Mike Tyson knockout?
Joe would call him sick three times in 2024.
He would Joe Biden would want none of Ron DeSantis and Joe Biden beat Trump in one of the debates.
So I think Donald Trump, that's a lot of bluster.
I think Donald Trump, that's a lot of bluster. I think Donald Trump, he was a phenomenon.
There's nobody that can argue what MAGA was
and what it created and how he mirrored a lot
of what the Democrats did to generate this cult
of personality.
I mean, basically, he mirrored the Obama campaign,
not the policies and ideology, obviously,
but the cult of personality.
I think this is the different question.
So, C. Johnson just gave for the 499.
Appreciate you, buddy.
And this is John, Ron DeSantis, he said, dos Santos.
Ron DeSantis won, Ron against Trump.
His time will come in 2028.
So, here's a question for you.
Here's a question for you.
That makes sense.
Okay, here's a lot.
Odds.
Odds.
What are the chances DeSantis runs, 2023, 2024? Chances he runs. 50, 50. I think Trump owns the GOP. I
don't think I think we're doing I think we are knighting Ron DeSantis like he's
some presidential candidate. Do you need to calculate it? Just to, yeah, I'm gonna say what I want to say.
We're general percentage, buddy.
I don't think he's running.
I think Trump, I think Trump, it's not zero,
because I would say less than 10%.
I think Trump owns the GOP and we're,
Trump, DeSantis has done nothing
on the national stage yet.
That's not right.
He's not true though.
He's obviously done a great job in Florida.
In Florida, I got Gerard to move here.
Did a great job getting Gerard.
Keep your friends in Jersey.
But it doesn't want Democrats in the state.
I just don't want to.
By the way, most people agree with you.
Most people here are saying he's not running.
The only person that's a 75% chance is is betul john coquibot seventy five percent
can't trust that
and well reos is eighty percent is running fill what do you think i don't
think he's running okay i don't think he's running i mean i think but i do
think
trump will poke that bear non-stop where
in my opinion
the centus well you know he could always change his mind and say you know
what i'm not gonna back down from this.
I will go toe to toe with you, but I do look at the Santas as a, you know, a competitive
person.
But the difference is that he can be competitive while showing more discipline than Trump
can during a debate.
I would, my confidence would be with the Santas during a debate because it's disciplinary,
you know, his aura when it comes to discipline, when, whereas Trump, he should have just steamrolled through this and he just didn't because
he got distracted and decided to just, you know, talk shit.
If Ron DeSantis does not run in 2024, it will be the biggest mistake of his life.
It'll be the biggest mistake the GOP ever made, not headlining and front running, Ron DeSantis.
You have a guy who is answering Joe Biden on a nightly basis, is calling out Jen Sackie
on a nightly basis, although he's running a state, he is having national conversations
on a nightly basis, and he's being proven right over and over and over again.
The dams are hurt down, and Donald Trump is going to rally the other people's base
in a way that Ron DeSantis won't.
The crazies that came out against Trump
won't come out against Ron DeSantis.
He won't activate them.
Trump will, okay.
And I live through it, Chris Christie.
I live through it.
If Christie ran on a national level
when he was in his first term
He was a superstar. He was a hero. He couldn't do anything wrong
He had worked across the aisle. He had worked with Cory Booker
He had saved Norke he brought Zuckerberg and Facebook into into Jersey and then his second term was a nightmare
It was a disaster and his career has by the way. I cannot tell you how much I agree with Gerard.
There's so much value in what Gerard,
you just said right now because this whole thing
about running is about timing.
And he's got everything on his side right now
if you ran today.
Who knows what's gonna happen for your son?
That's a very good point you're making Gerard.
Great argument.
But why would you run when you know you're not beating Trump?
There's no chance. He just said chance. But he just said it.
But he just said it.
Like you're not activating the people that are just like,
well, I don't care about policies.
I'm just gonna vote against Trump.
Art of the deal.
Donald, here's the deal.
You only got four years anyway.
Let's make a deal.
You've got kids that they want.
You want to be in the room.
You want to be in the meetings.
We need you out there.
We need you as a cheerleader.
We need you as a cheerleader for ron
and the idea is don't do you believe the word
you're not your mouth
you believe what you're saying now
you see fricking trump
naga has an exploration
for ron disand this has an expression about one person one person only
and that's himself but he's and that's fine i don't think that's true
on the
the
i don't think that's true i think i don wrong. Whatever you're about to say right now as
well. I think he cares about the Trump name. I think he cares about the Trump name. And as long as his
name is on of it, I think the GOP could make a legacy play to Donald Trump. I think they can
make a legacy play. I think you're wrong, but I respect your opinion for being wrong.
Fair enough. And I'm telling you of Ron DeSantis. If the San this is listening to this and you're
going to be talked into waiting your turn
Do not I think Trump would be interested if Ron DeSantis changes his name to Don DeSantis
That's the only way that Don Trump is getting two shits about DeSantis. Yeah, let me let me
Let me so okay go there go there who's the only person Trump's gonna listen to tell that conversation with them and Salomon it the only person
Only person who who's gonna listen to tell that conversation with them and sell them on it the only person only person who who's gonna listen
Nobody Millie Mattis his kids. I think I think you have you'd have to get to
Ivanka and Don junior and you'd have to get to them and and and they would have to talk they would that that would be the the ultimate sign of this
Family is not work. I really don't think it would. Neither one of them will.
You're trading four more years,
four more years.
Have a four more years Instagram.
Every other message is about Trump 2025.
There's no way in the world.
You're asking, you're asking tonne of money,
and you're asking tonne of tonne of money
off donations.
They make a tonne of money off a merch.
Trump, there's an app.
If he's already a billionaire,
he doesn't need it.
Listen, there's a deal to be made.
Other than the good job, let me just, let me just talk some sense for a second.
I know that, you know, we're getting heated with some rhetoric here.
Other than the good job, DeSantis has joined over the last 18 months.
Why would Donald Trump care about DeSantis at all?
Point B to that.
Donald Trump wants himself to be there in 2024 and then on a way lesser level. He
wants another Trump to be there after that. I agree with the second. So he doesn't care
about a DeSantis, a pens, a Nikki Haley. He wants himself there in 20. Do you guys think
that's it? Actually liked being president of the United States. He liked the title of
it. Yeah. Okay. And like doing the job day in and day out. No. Actually liked the title of it. Yeah, okay, like doing the job day and day. Yeah, no actually liked the job. He liked it so much that he will run again
like he's got it for him. He's got on finished business and he just he loves he is a showman. He does not like losing and he wants the
I think there's a deal to be made man. I'm gonna win so much that you're gonna get sick of winning and he got sick of winning
Yeah, and he lost and now he wants the winning. The guy needs to show every night on TV.
The guy needs to show every night.
He needs to be on in between Tucker and Hannity every night.
He pulled, first of all, he pull a six rating every freaking night.
He'd make more money than anybody in the history.
You mean to tell him you think he'd have more viewers and don't let me.
Like, why is that just can't?
By the way, Rachel Maddow just got a 30 million dollar deal Kai can you pull that up Rachel Maddow from MSNBC got a 30 million dollar deal
Inside a massive MSNBC deal pain maddow to work less 30 million dollar annually while ending her show next year and giving their top star a more
Flexible scheduled than ever before. Any matter. There's a dream right there. 30 million year in low management.
Rachel, man, out the capital list makes 30 a year.
Decapital list.
By the way, that thinks you send me, the text you send me.
Does Kai have that?
It should be.
Kai, if you have that.
You have to show the ratings, the different stats.
If you got that, pull that up to talk about who's doing what.
That is crazy.
She got a 30 million article.
30 million.
Yeah, and you should see the views by the way.
Like how many views they're getting versus others
for her to get a 30 million dollar contract.
So how often do you listen to her?
From each their capacity to each their necessity.
No, but do you ever listen to her?
No, start high day and end by day with Rachel Maddow.
You don't?
I don't listen to her that often,
but I do, I only do YouTube now.
That's all I do.
I haven't had a TV in two years.
Times are tough, right?
I cut the cord.
Save that money.
But since I moved to Dallas
and I lived in that beautiful apartment you recommended,
I've only watched YouTube,
so I watch a lot of clips,
whether it's Tucker, whether it's Rachel Maddow.
Who's that beauty?
Is that the cover of what is it?
I don't get that. I don't that cnf spend nearly 80% of
september
under one million viewers
series houses what the liberal network saw 41% drop from september 2020
uh... new cycle and that's with them all and every slowdown
airport is in america president jobai and took office with cnn doesn't appear to
be ripping a benefit cnn has a dismal september fallen
nearly one million viewers on any of its program of its programs for twenty
three out of thirty days in a month equating to staggers seventy seven percent
last september final weeks of twenty twenty elections
cnn average nine hundred fifty thousand
twenty total day viewers this september network average five fifty seven
prime time viewership has virtually cut in half during the same time from one
point five million to seven hundred seventy thousand but but show the one that the gerard has showed the one that gerard has can we see the most watch Prime time viewership has virtually cut in half during the same time from 1.5 to 770,000
But but show the one that the Gerard has show the one that Gerard has can we see the most watched programs?
That's the one I want the one that was
The one that was like the competitive analysis do you have it if you have that pull that up?
But you were saying you listen to Rachel Maddow every month. I don't I don't I don't I watch clips and she's certainly the
The frontrunner over at MSNBC.
It's not, so what's their lineup that?
You got Joy Reed, Rachel Malon.
No, Joy's not at night.
Well, they have Laurence O'Donnell right after her.
They've got Brian Williams,
so I really like Brian Williams.
Before her, they got,
I like Brian Williams.
Chris Hayes.
Chris Hayes and Joy Reed before.
I think I want to show you a little bit.
And Laurence O'Donnell again joined CNN's entire prime time lineup in a falling below the humiliating Chris Chris Hayes. I'd say Chris Hayes and Joy Rebex. Yeah, I think I want to join. I think I want to join.
So again, join CNN's entire primetime lineup and a falling falling below the humiliating
line of one million totally viewers.
Joy has fewer viewers than the shows before and after her down lemon and Anderson Cooper
barely getting 500.
I thought Anderson Cooper was just no viewers under 55.
Click on it.
Click on it to see it.
So four o'clock, Kavuto, 1.7 million, tap or seven, 31, wallows, 1.266.
You got five.
So you used to look at five.
Is that a number one show out of everybody?
Five salarious.
It is a list.
Shout out to Tyres, the old pro wrestler, to do love.
It's 2.8, five is the number one show, five PM.
Then it's tap again six forty six
Brett bear one point nine six three blitzer
Is at what five six seven six PM. That's the new star an MSNBC. That's Ari Melber
He's pretty corny and he tries to rap sometimes
One point one five six is not bad. He's a smart. A good prime time one 1.87 Burnett 602 read 9.79 Carlson 2.601 the five is beating Carlson
Cooper 638 haze 1.214 that's Chris right 1.214 and then you got Henry 2.343
Cooper 570
What's that one to your ms Rachel madhouse show Rachel madhouse show okay
uh... what's that one to your ms
the Rachel madhouse show okay
uh...
and then you got the ingram one point one nine one five lemon five twenty is
who's the most among everybody on the one
he is the lowest amongst everybody here's actually what you have to do because
obviously on the on this
three
headed monster you have
fox news
as the only thing
right of center wait when you have Fox News as the only thing right of center.
Sure, wait, when you're on that, stay on that.
Fine.
And then you have CNN left of center and then you have arguably MSNBC left of CNN.
So I know what I would say today?
So I'm just saying you have to come, like they're eating into each other's market share.
But can I tell you something?
Yeah, fine.
I don't know.
It's not only on the other side.
It's exactly. Here's what I would say. At a taper you don't know. Not to use yourself this side.
Here's what I would say.
Attapper and Wallace together.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point.
That's where I was buying that's point. That's where I was buying that's point. That's where I was buying that's point. That's where I was buying that's point. That's where I was buying that's point. losing to prime time. Hays and Cooper is getting destroyed by Carlson.
Rachel Maddow and Cooper are getting destroyed by Hannity.
Last word and Le Mans are still losing to Ingram.
Williams and Le Mans, the only person,
the only one that's beating the other side
is Taper and Wallace combined.
Yeah.
So if you combine the two.
So if you say there's the top three political shows,
MSNBCC and NNFox Fox Fox single-handedly is still beating
You have a guys if you think about it. So what does that mean in the big picture of things?
I think there's still means 46% are gonna vote Republican 40
44% is gonna do Republican 42 is gonna do Republican 44 is gonna do them at whatever the number is
12% in middle three is gonna do this. I think you're really dealing with 10 or 12% of America. I disagree with that completely
I think that what this tells you is that the future is completely totally up for grabs. I think that this is I agree with that
I agree with that as long as there's nobody now how many I would love to know what the average person at
9 o'clock is doing as far as age is doing under 25 years old
Yeah, I want to know if anyone under 35 years old
is watching any of this.
Yeah, any of this.
Because if you're 18 to 30, you're watching YouTube.
You're not even on this crap.
TikTok YouTube.
Listen, you gotta realize, all those numbers are great,
rogue in destroys them, Russell Brand destroys them.
I mean, you can go so many different shows
that are podcasts that are doing stuff
that are killing these guys.
But Rachel Maddam makes 30 a year.
30 a year.
And what is Rogan to Rogan gets a $100 million contract with Spotify.
With Spotify.
I had a video on TikTok get 2 million views yesterday and I get taken down today.
Well, that seems to be very normal for you.
Why are you surprised that your stock gets taken down at this point? Seriously. I'm just happy you got day. Well that seems to be pretty normal for you. Why are you surprised that your stock gets taken down
at this point?
Seriously, glad to have you got two million views on that.
You're gladin' for a penitentiary?
Yeah, I got the, you got the SNL thing going on.
See you later buddy.
I see you have the whistleblower just go,
oh that's what it was.
He's like nah, nah, that was fun.
What did you later?
Boom, done.
Somebody has a question here.
Let's process this.
Somebody gave $50 and asked a good question here.
So flat rate inspection, I'm a solo entrepreneur, $400,000 a year income as a home inspector and a single
dad. Home inspector single dad, okay. Nine to one. The odds have been a single mom versus a single
dad. For every one single dad, there's nine single moms. Just so you know, this is not common. Okay.
My question is simple. Do you think it is easier to be a man and a father
today or a man and a father 50 years ago? Technology considered. What do you think?
Asking a bunch of guys who have no kids. George, what do you think?
Quiet here. I think it's easier today. Why do you think? I think if you were a single dad back in the day,
where are you making money or not making money?
Cause obviously money will help any situation.
This question was single dad.
He's making money, right?
Yeah, it's a single dad working.
Right, yeah.
Things, everything is a lot easier today because,
all right, my kid's hungry,
just get the pampered's order.
I don't have to run out of the house
and worry about him in the car seat. Everything's just at the tip of your finger, you can right, just get the pamper's order. I don't have to run out of the house and worry about them in the car seat.
Everything's just at the tip of your finger,
you can order, you can order, you can order.
You can order a nanny online just to come in and help you.
So if you've got money, things are a lot,
one of my best friends is a single dad.
He's that guy, what do you say, the 10%.
And he's not life ain't that hard for him.
I mean, he's raised his daughter, he's doing great. He's a money guy, he's got money. He's doing okay, he's not life ain't that hard for him. I mean, he's raised his daughter,
she's doing great.
Is he a money guy?
He's got money.
He's doing okay.
He's not like 400K tap of a guy.
Look at him.
No, but he's all right.
But obviously if you're making 400K,
which is right at the tax threshold that Biden's looking for,
you're doing all right.
But when you say raising kids,
so when you say raising kids,
we're talking about like not just the convenience of
Pampers and food. We're talking about like it's still in values and shit
So like I definitely believe that like back in the day. It would it would be as far as easier
Yeah, you could say today, but there's a lot of people that are just like here's the iPad son go go play that's true
So there's that easiness, but does that help the kid?
So now we're in a different question.
Very good question, though.
Very good question for me.
It's like, okay, I've been married, right?
So I helped raise another man's kid.
He was 10 years old at the time.
Would I say it would be easier today?
No.
Because there's too much shit going on.
I was definitely involved and made sure
that homework, this net, go outside play.
Those things were happening.
It wasn't like, oh, go play with your iPad.
But it required more of an effort back then.
Yeah.
But men back then actually made the effort back then.
And Todd, are you saying that they're not making the effort now?
What do kids learn from their fathers today?
I don't know, what do you mean?
What are you saying that fathers aren't teaching?
Their kids, what are you saying?
Most kids don't even know how to change a tire.
I don't know how to change a tire.
There you go.
But I'm saying like there's certain things
that men back then, when we're saying back then,
we're talking about like men had to know,
like do they even teach wood shop and shit
in schools and stuff?
Like kids back then had male figures
that taught them things.
You're saying that men today have been
emasculated to us.
I'm not saying it masculated.
I'm saying that what are they actually physically
teaching their kids?
Well, basically teaching them
because of the convenience of,
you're saying like, oh,
that's a different like changing tires and
Woodshop, I mean that's 50 years ago. That was a man change a tire these days just take a fucking Uber like it's not you know
It's things have changed but there's a good and bad, but there's still lessons in these things of being resourcefulness
I feel you on that so so back in the day
I mean we all had an uncle or a father or grandfather that taught us certain things that made us become more resourceful.
I think with technology, we're not as resourceful as we think.
We just went through the whole Facebook thing.
People weren't resourceful during that time period.
People kept literally, people kept doing this.
It's not working.
It's not working.
It's not working for the first hour or the hour.
They wasted six hours of their time.
Back then, but you didn't know how to work.
Let me tell you, there was a meme
that used to have back in the day.
This thing right here, and you see a picture of an alarm clock
and a cell phone, a, how far you walk, a calculator,
a flashlight, all that stuff, and more is all right here.
But that shit didn't matter, that stuff,
like even right now, like a lot of those things that we become so accustomed to
using is it does it really matter first of all you know I interview this guy
a couple days ago David what was his name doctor doctor Warren Farrell doctor
Warren Farrell not will Ferrell doctor Warren Farrell and he wrote a book
called the boy crisis New York Times best selling guy former feminist he was
earlier you know with the feminist, former feminist, he was earlier, you know, with the feminist founder,
former feminist.
Former feminist.
And he says feminism has changed over the years.
Before it was equal opportunity for men and women today, it's, I've been wrong.
So men are this.
So he's like, my position hasn't changed.
The movement of feminism has changed.
But my position hasn't changed on what it was back in the 60s and 70s.
And he wrote this book and some of the stuff that he talked about in a speech that he
gave with TEDx, we were talking, he said, at the age of nine, the suicide rate amongst
boys and girls is equal at the age of nine.
From 10 to 14, it doubles, boys to girls, 10 to 14.
15 to 19, it's 4x boys to girls.
20 boys are committing two times.
Four times the amount of boys commit suicide
then girls do 20 to 25 is six times more boys to girls.
Then he went a little bit deeper, he says,
so the challenge is the fact that boys do better
when they're around their fathers than they are on their mothers.
Boys need fathers more than girls need their fathers.
You know, here sometimes the whole thing where for grudges,
and daddy issues, and you know, when your dating crush
is kind of looking at you as a daddy,
he's talking about boys need a male figure in their lives, okay?
So he talks about the benefit of a boy wrestling with his father,
his dad straightening them up, you know,
you know, mom, you can negotiate, and I said,
but you know, he deserves, okay, let him,
it's okay, baby, it's his dad's gonna say, no, you don't get to stun, you you know, he deserves, okay, let him, it's okay, baby, he said, that's gonna say,
no, you don't get the stun, you're not gonna get that, right?
Certain values and principles.
He said, one of the biggest promises we don't have
male teachers is what he talked about.
He said, we need more male teachers, interesting.
I couldn't agree with that more.
We don't have enough male teachers and examples
to challenge somebody like, if you think about it yourself,
maybe your male teacher was one of your coaches.
That's tough on you.
So maybe it's not a teacher, maybe it's a coach role that plays.
And then he went on to talk about the fact that the tax incentives
changed in the 50s and 60s,
where back in the days, there weren't that many single mothers.
Tax incentive changed where women said,
I don't need a man to raise a kid.
I don't need a man to raise a kid. don't need a man to raise a kid I can do it myself because I'm getting a tax incentive were child tax
Shout out exactly so that left and then he also went a little bit deeper talking about the fact that 50 60 years ago
You know there was still a need for women to need
Protection and safety so there was an element of no
I'm not gonna get a divorce.
Today, the divorce rate of women following divorce,
men following divorce is very similar.
It wasn't like that before.
It wasn't a lot of divorce taking place
because it was a equal exchange.
Today, the exchange is not equal.
Today, women don't need men
because they can go make their own money.
So it's kinda like, listen, you wanna do this?
You don't wanna do this?
I'm okay, I'm gonna go and do my own thing.
You figured out.
So, a lot of these dynamics have also changed
in the last 50 years.
So the guy asking the question, he's right,
it is a different dynamic today than it was before,
but based on what this guy was talking about,
you may want to read that book,
the boy crisis, whoever is reading this,
and you may want to read the book,
Raising Up Boys.
Those two books I would recommend to you,
I read Raising Up Boys when I had my first son, fantastic book, I don't want to read the book Raisin Up Boys. Those two books I would recommend to you. I read Raisin Up Boys when I had my first son.
Fantastic book.
I don't think you talked about whether you have a daughter
or a son.
I think he just said the fact that he has a baby, right?
Did he say his son?
Man, father, he didn't talk about boy or girl.
But the same author that wrote Raisin Up Boys
also wrote Raisin Up Girls.
It is different times today than before.
You are the only one here with full on kids
I know you've raised the a step son. You've got four kids now. Yeah, Tico's 10 9 9 Dylan's
8
Sinus 5 and a Brooklyn's 30 and zero 13 months. She's what she's 13 months
I'm sorry 13 weeks my part just 13 weeks. I'm like
I'm sorry, 13 weeks, my phone just 13 weeks. I'm like, 13 weeks.
I'm already got a bunch of like,
what just happened?
The other day,
20, 22, 29,
do you watch his videos and forex?
Here is his kids and three.
Here's my question to you.
I'm done.
When Tiko was born,
yeah.
You said nine, 10 years ago,
social media wasn't what it was.
Life has been, you didn't have money then.
At that point, you weren't crushing it 10 years ago, were you?
What's money?
That's such a pvd or something. Well, what do you mean by money like you're not where you are now you were just you were in startup mode, right?
2010 you were I'm still making money. Yeah, but you put everything into
Money but you find money like are you saying okay on a scale of one to 10 Where's your money now versus where it was that no no no no yeah no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no happened politically, what have you? How has parenting changed from your first kid to your fourth kid?
I don't think it's changed much for us.
That's not a big enough of a difference in nine years.
I think the difference is our era to the 20-year-olds today,
like a David versus my kids.
I think it's 20 years is how you gauge it.
I don't think 10 years is enough to gauge a difference.
So then answer the initial question.
Is parenting changed? Is it easier to be a difference. So then answer the initial question. It's parenting changed.
Is it easier to be a dad today?
What was his question?
It's not easy to be a dad today.
It's about 50 years ago.
Is it?
I'm gonna tell you what, there's a,
and I'm gonna let him answer it.
It's tough to answer that question
because I don't think you'd be a single father
50 years ago.
I think it's a different world to do.
But if you were.
If you were 50 years ago versus today,
it's probably gonna be harder 50 years ago than today. The part that's a different world today. But if you were. If you were 50 years go versus today's probably gonna be
harder 50 years ago than today.
The part that's gonna be tougher today is the way that that
decides to be an involved dad versus not an involved dad.
Like there's many ways you can make parenting easy today.
You got a shit load of distractions.
There's so easy to be a parent today.
But to be a father who's leading his kids, that's a lot harder
today than 50 years ago.
It's a lot harder today than 50 years ago.
If you want to be a true father, that's leading your kids.
That's right.
Because 50 years ago, how did you get your porn?
How did you get your porn when you were 14 years old?
I've never seen it.
I'm still waiting 40 years.
I'm still waiting for it.
Some of your friends that got porn.
Have it again.
Have it again.
Have it again.
Have it again.
Okay. And by the way, even if it was magazine, give me the was magazines what for when you were 14 years old, okay?
And by the way, even if it was magazine, give me the most hardcore thing you ever saw in a magazine
Oh, DVD here we go hardcore
What are you gonna see? It's not all
Thank you. There's no way in the world you saw it all
14 years old and house hustler and house hustle wasn't that hard
Whatever they had what do you know what's today's hard cordial You know what's that live in chat's worth in 2000?
I don't know we were baptizing chats were in a name of Ron
You know, but I don't know you can only see so much in that and accessibility
What I'm trying to say is there's way more content today to psychologically mess with a kid's mind today. Facts, facts, facts.
So if you want to just be a father, have sex, have a kid, you just let them be distracted
by an iPad for 18 years, you can easily do it today with video games.
Well, you're in raising a leader.
It's just a kid.
It's a very, very different mindset you have on the effort you got to put in.
50 years ago, people lived with their family unit more, too.
So even if you were single, dad, chances were that your family unit was very, very close by.
You had sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, mother, father,
very, very close within that community as well.
There wasn't the idea of my sister lives in Chicago.
My father lives in Boston.
I live, you know what I'm saying?
Like the family unit was geographically closer. So you'd have more of an ins live, you know what I'm saying? Like the family unit was geographically closer.
So you'd have more of an insulated, you know,
support system.
One of the things that you have to deal with today
that's very, very difficult though.
And we just saw this with the, you know,
election, the education secretary, Cardona,
the state is trying to take over control of your kids.
That's not something you had to deal with 50 years ago.
You didn't have. They literally asked, he was at a,
who's a senate judicial hearing committee,
and they said, who is, I forget who the senator was,
asked the Biden Secretary of Education,
who is the primary stakeholder in a child's education?
The guy wanted to answer one and a half million people
have taken their kids out of public schools
in the last year and a half
because of differences in political ideologies
and what they feel like is extremism being taught
in public schools.
And then, the guy won't answer.
And then the senator doubles down and goes,
does the parent have the primary right
to make decisions over a child's education?
And the guy finally circles back and says,
no, the state has just as much of a right.
This is a community issue.
He won't say that the parent is the primary stakeholder in a child's education.
Children, your kids, that guy's kids, are a cultural battleground.
Now, yep.
That's, this is, the kids are battleground.
So therefore, back in the day, do you think, like when we were talking about parents, you
think they put up with that now?
Yeah, those parents?
No, no way.
No way.
I can't see my, I can't see your granddad
or your father.
I can't see any teacher or any administrator
ever in a million years telling my grandfather,
you know, we have more of a say over your child's education
than you do.
My grandfather would have done things
to that administrator that would be, you know, years in jail today, years in jail.
For sure, there's no way, there's no way that they would have even had the the the gall and wherewithal.
You know, and this guy was a, you know, he was a local 40 iron worker, you know, he liked education, but he didn't really care.
He's like, join a union with us. We don't want to care. You know, like, you know, the school is school
was daycare for them. You know, you knew all my uncles were going to join the union with them. So school was daycare
didn't really care, but if they tried to tell him how to raise his kids, essentially, they would get his literal Irish up
and that would have been the end of that for sure. So for the education secretary to sit there for the whole world to say and see and say,
not a state has more of a say than the parents do. I mean how do you take that? Like you said you're kidding me.
Do you realize what that does to me when you say something like that? I mean it's just pathetic
to make a come. I mean that's exactly what they want to it. They would like to be able to do that.
And you as a parent have to not fall for that. Yep. You as a parent has to be involved. You as a
parent has to be have to be so involved with the kid where you don't lose your kid. Too many
parents are losing their kids because they're not involved enough.
What do you mean by losing their kids?
He just said that with the iPad, with the being distracted,
you're all those things that aren't being participate.
But they're losing your culture.
So let me explain to you.
Let me explain to you how this thing works.
I read a book years ago called,
Think God It's Monday, right?
And Think God It's Monday is this guy who's a psychologist,
so talking about how most men in America cannot wait for it to be Monday to get the hell away from the wife and the kids, because they want to be
away. They want to be free. They're saying, thank God it's Monday, rather than thank
God it's Friday, because Friday the whole weekend are the kids and the baby sitting stuff
starts, right? So he said he watched all the stuff with marriages, what was problematic.
And he said, what I found out, relationships and marriages and parents that worked, they
gave individual time to their kids regularly.
So if you're married, you come home, you talk to your wife 10 minutes.
How was your day, babe?
You go to 10 minutes, one on one, right?
Then you go to your kids, so tell me how was your day, one on one.
Then you find out one of them needs a little bit more time.
Then you go and talk to them for 1050 minutes or one on one.
That one on one time takes effort.
And most parents don't want to do that. That one on one time takes effort. It's just like in sales, that one on one time with your client, that 101 time takes effort. And most parents don't wanna do that,
that 101 time takes effort.
It's just like in sales, that 101 time with your client,
that 101 time on followup, that 101 time of writing
to cart to them.
Most people don't wanna put that effort.
No.
So today, parents are losing their kids
because they're not having that 101 conversation
with their kids.
That's why I said, when the guy asks the question,
he's right, it takes a lot more work and effort today
than it did before. Because you have more things to question today. That's a I said when the guy asked the question he's right, it takes a lot more work and effort today than it did before because you have more things to
question today as a kid. You have to be more vigilant. You have to be more passionate. You have to be
more passionate. You have to be more passionately passionate with your own offspring. These are your
offspring. He's the one that holds your legacy. And like what Pat's saying, I mean, you know, we've
all seen Pat with his family and stuff and he does a great job, you know, he's very involved.
You know, but how many parents are actually doing those things?
And then like you said, it requires effort.
You're supposed to grow them, but you're not feeding them.
No, it's not easy, man.
It's, listen, that's why I understand the argument today
of not having a kid.
I fully understand the argument today of not having a kid.
When people make the argument of not having a kid,
I get it.
You're better off not having a kid. When people make the argument of not having a kid, I get it. You're better off not having a kid
that you're not gonna put time into
than having a kid and saying,
I don't have time to put the time into
because you're just helping out the institution more.
Okay, so don't do it then.
Then you're right, I respect the person that says,
like you know, I sat down with a guy, okay.
One of the most powerful CFOs in America today.
He was in AIG-CFO when they went to the government and raised $183 billion.
Successful guy, within five years or six years, they pay back to $183 plus
$21 billion of interest. They were the first to pay back, AIG.
As much as people trashed, AIG, they paid it back. GM still hasn't paid back.
They paid it back. I said, so how long have you been married?
We've been married for 30 some years, 20 some years.
So how many kids you guys got?
We don't have any kids.
Why not?
My wife and I chose 30 years ago that our careers are kids.
Okay, so now when a person hears that,
what did they say?
What a frickin' moron?
What a moron?
Why would you make your kid, you know,
then another person will say,
I would never do such a thing, maybe not a moron.
And another may say, well, what if they actually
sat down and talked about the fact that they're not going
to be able to put the time into their kids
that they'd like, and it's not fair for the kid?
Okay, great.
That's actually a better processing.
There is a form of processing that,
if you don't put into it, right?
No, look at China today.
Look at the statistic with China today.
Kai, can you pull up that article I sent you
that said within 45 years, have you guys seen this?
Yeah, like the population we've cut in half, right?
Cut in half, did you see this article?
It did not, no.
Yeah, I just sent it to you guys earlier today.
I don't know if you had a chance to take a look at it.
China's population could have within the next 45 years
new study warns.
China's population could have, like cut in half
within the next 45 years.
Researchers say previous estimates may have severely underestimated
the pace of democratic, democratic, demographic decline.
Census data says the birth rate was 1.3 children for each woman last year, well below the level
needed to stop the population from falling low, little lower.
You said it's 2.4 as well.
U.S. is no, 2.4 is for it to grow.
To grow.
1.3, 1.7 is a level off.
Gotcha. 2.4, 2. to grow. To grow. 1.3, 1.7 is a level off. Gotcha.
2.4, 2.3, you're growing.
China's population decline may be much faster than expect the number of people in the
country having within the next 45 years.
The projection was based on the rate worth of 1.3.
Yeah, so, but anyways, going back to the conversation we're having, if you're not going
to put the time in the kids' man, you know, just, you may want to skip it.
It's a lot of work today.
I actually have a question for Phil as a black man.
I, we were talking about watching different news sources.
Someone that's all tend to watch,
sometimes it's Candace Owens.
I don't know if you have any strong feelings, Pro or against her,
whatever, but what she,
she was speaking on a panel one time.
And I remember she was having a debate with TI, the rapper.
I think I saw that.
Okay, and she said something to the effect
of the biggest epidemic going on in America today,
well, in the black community,
is the absence of the black father.
And basically saying, that's why she doesn't mess
with feminism at all, because, you know,
it's a breakdown of the nuclear family,
and then basically, I don't know that exact number,
I'm sure I'll get it wrong, but it was like,
it was like 75% percent of uh... uh... young black american
young african american men are are raised a lot of father could be less could be
more
but it was certainly more than fifty percent i don't know the exact number
and she read a quote
by someone
saying
uh... i had a father i was raised with a father and you have father and the
quote was from twoupac one of your
Heroes on your on your painting the point is this
As a black man you were definitely raised with a good family I'm sure you have some stories on this. What are your thoughts on African-Americans living without a father in their life?
Well, my parents divorced when I was three. Oh, okay. I didn't know that. Right. So I didn't hang out with my biological father.
Very often it was more like, you know,
handful of times here and there.
Birthday and Christmas definitely.
He always made sure of those things.
Oh, come.
But he was kind of absent for majority of the time.
And then it wasn't up until like I was grown
that we started reestablishing a relationship,
however, he was taking, he passed away seven years ago,
so around that time that was like, I felt cheated,
but I was raised by my stepfather and my mom,
but they both worked, so they both worked a lot.
So I was basically raising myself at the age of eight,
nine years old, cooking, cleaning for myself.
You know, I was a, you know, shoe-stringed, key kid. That was one of those guys.
Luckily, I didn't burn the house down, but, you know, I had a lot of discipline in the house,
and my mom definitely would have put my ass if I would have done something stupid.
But as far as like being taught how to do certain things, You know, I did have that available.
My family was high on education.
One of my step, my stepfather, who was still alive,
he had other kids that were much older than I am,
but he made sure that we always had a personal computer
in the house.
He was very interested in technology.
He worked as a TV engineer for NBC Affiliate King Five
Television in Seattle, Washington. So you had your stepfather in your life. I have a stepfather. And my father
was doing his thing. Yeah. You know, he was about the the bigger picture for, you know,
African American. I definitely feel that it's imperative for, let's just call it what
it is. I mean, any family dynamic requires a mother and a father to raise these kids.
Absolutely.
But what Candace, I believe, was saying that the absentee father is creating a big problem
for the African American community, when you're talking about you just can't have women
raising these kids and expect them to have exponential growth and be competitive in the workplace.
They're missing out on half of what the other kids are having, period.
So I definitely think it's imperative, and when the incarceration of African-American
males and drug addictions and these things, you have to just play life with your eyes
and realize like use common sense.
I mean, how is the kid going to respond?
There's only so many success stories
of a woman having a kid, you know,
even in their teens or early on
and thinking like, wow, I can only,
I can do this by myself.
No, she's gonna require a ton of help.
My best friend, my best friend who you'll meet,
his mom, you know, she had him when she was like 15.
And the dad was not around.
Not a lot.
But he's one of those kids that actually
You know had help, you know had a you know a lot of family around and
You know he's killing it, you know, he's you know executive with AWS, you know doing very well for himself
But not every person has that story
There's not most people don't most people don't so it's definitely well, they don't but they wouldn't even if it was you know
Let's just call it what it is if there's another ethnicity or like white folks.
If the tables were turned, it's just people.
Yeah.
It's just people at the end of the day.
You know, you take the white man out of the kid's life.
You know, you talk about like, you know, and excuse me if I say this, but like, you know,
trailer park guys or this or that or white dudes that just, you know,
at the end of the day, it's just people.
You take the male out of the family,
and he's non-existent with these kids,
especially for a young male.
A woman can only do so much.
Shout out to all the single moms that have sons,
but if they could have it where those single moms
could have a strong man in their life.
Number one, the woman definitely needs compassionate. You know, they need a man. Okay, they need a partner. But these young boys need
men. They need to understand like certain things. They're missing out on, they're missing out on
certain aspects of life. This world is tough, man, and it's even tougher when you're alone, dude.
And I tell you, you know, there's no doubt in my mind,
I would have been in jail without my father.
Even though we don't have a great relationship,
we would no doubt in my mind,
but I wouldn't have been able to deal with my father
if not for my mother.
That I would not have been able to deal with him
if not for her running interference.
And if not for him, I would have been in bad, bad shape.
It was a crazy wild child.
You know, if you think I hate authority now, you should see.
Let me ask you question.
Let me ask you question.
Who would you have done better with if it was just your dad
or just your mom?
Wouldn't it work either way?
I would have broken my mom.
If my dad wasn't there, I would have broken her.
I would not have done the right things early enough.
I wouldn't have matured early enough
not to have broken our heart if my father wasn't there.
And if my mother wasn't there,
it would have been an unsustainable situation
between me and my father would have come to a head
and one of us would have had to go.
And oddly enough, they raised three kids.
They raised my sisters are incredibly,
incredibly intelligent
successful people. Like, you know, Alicin, as a marketing executive, Emily's and assistant
Dean, like they are incredibly successful, you know, very, very brilliant woman. And my
parents probably, and I don't realize this until I'm an adult, they didn't have a great
relationship. They sacrificed 30, 40 years of their life, probably being with the person that they
shouldn't have been with, specifically because they decided like the CFO decided that they
made their life about you guys.
They made their life about us.
They never missed a single game.
We didn't take vacations.
Our vacations were baseball trips to, you know, the regionals,
to soccer on the weekends. They never, they worked their asses off. My mom worked two jobs. My
diet worked 60 hours a week. No vacations. Our vacations were soccer tournaments. You know what I'm
saying? And I got to tell you, if you could give my father a truth serum right now,
a beautiful Irish man.
Well, never, he's, look, this is what a man does.
I bet you he regrets it.
I bet you he thinks that he should have made more time
for himself and his dreams and his passions along that way.
I feel like he gave up too much of himself.
I feel like my mom gave up too much of herself. They made it too much
about us. And these are incredible parents. Are you saying they made the right choice?
I don't, I think the lesson here is some sort of moderation that I don't think they could
have done any better. And especially me, I did not make it easy on them. I wish I would
have made it way easier on them.
But they did as well as they could.
And in a grand scale, they raised a pro athlete
and two incredible, incredible, you know,
least successful females, right?
But there's a reason me and my sisters aren't married.
This was a tough relationship.
We saw a lot of fighting.
Well, there's still hope for you, buddy.
You're 35 years old.
You do okay.
I understand, but there's a reason. And there's a there's still hope for you, buddy. You're 35 years old. You do okay. I understand
But it's there's a reason to it. And there's a reason why this generation's not getting married. There's a reason we saw their living longer
I think that we also have options out there. They've seen divorce. I saw divorce did to my uncle. I saw my uncle
Go go to work. I saw my uncle my godfather. God rest his soul work
60 hours a week
Living on his sister's couch while another man lived in his house with his ex-wife.
That man refused to marry my aunt because as soon as they got married, my uncle would be off the hook on Alamone.
Yep. So seven years, this man, my uncle essentially financed another man being in his house with his wife.
So why would you want to be married?
You know what I'm saying?
So listen, I got a number for a therapist for you.
Dude, I'm gonna have you call it,
we're gonna set you up.
All jokes aside, therapy saved my freaking wife.
I'm sure so.
If anybody out there, that's not a joke.
I cannot advocate for therapy as much as possible.
P.B.D., you were raised by,
you tell the story that your parents were married,
they had Paulette divorced, got back together,
had you, another divorce, left Iran, Germany, LA.
Where would you be if your parents
and I get with them?
I get with them, I put them on what he called it.
If you look at a data wise, they should have gone married.
They should have not gone married.
Imperialist, communist.
They should have gone married.
My mom was a beautiful, she would be a model today.
Tall, attractive, she performed,
she was an athlete, pink pong, she got a four-year degree
in a time that women didn't get a four-year degree.
My math comes from my mom's side.
My mom gave me my math genetics.
And then my dad on the other side was a man's man who was a guy that kept his word and
respected and valued by everybody, but he was a romantic guy.
Like if you ask him right now, what are our favorite movies, you know what it'll say?
Notebook.
Anything with Natalie Wood.
Anything with Hepburn Heat.
He likes Dr. Shavago too. He the Omar Classics? Oh, he likes Dr.
Shavago too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's probably watched to
graduate. I don't know how many times. He's probably watched, you know, he probably
watched. He's 79. How much older can he get? He's into 100 year old woman.
I don't know Elizabeth. She's, but she know what, but she know what there is.
There's another part to it here, man. There's another part to it here that we're not thinking about that. I think't know. I don't know. She's a football. But you know what? But you know what, there's another part to it here, man.
There's another part to it here that we're not thinking about.
That I think you got to be thinking about is one.
By the way, I appreciate you for opening up, man.
I felt that.
I totally felt that with you at the time.
I hope your parents and your sisters see this.
Like I hope if you know his parents and his sister
forward his tomb, because he's not going to do it.
But mom, that whatever you guys did,
you guys did a good job with the sky,
because we love the sky.
But let me say this part to you,
that we don't give enough value to.
Dude, we don't know which person we are in our lineage.
We don't know who we are.
Meaning, you look at, I watched a documentary,
you read Obama's story, your Kennedy story,
and you see Joseph Kennedy has his oldest son, Joe,
and he's planning to build him to be the president.
And he ends up going to war.
And he dies as a fighter pilot.
And he was a guy that was supposed to be it
and the kid who had back problems his entire life who
was the youngest one that nobody expected.
And the father gave up on life after the oldest son
died.
He was depressed for years.
And the guy that he least expected to be the president
ends up becoming the president.
And then you watch the documentary, Trump's turn,
there is the grandfather who comes in,
who has restaurants and parlors and all this stuff.
I think in Alaska, out of all the places,
literally I think in Alaska,
and then he has his son, Fred Trump,
who moves to Jersey, New York, he makes us money,
and then the grandfather didn't know that his grandson was one.
They're going to be the billionaire and be the president.
You don't know the sacrifice.
None of us know what the hell we're here until we die.
It's going to take a long time for you to really realize your purpose.
Sometimes, God's using you to be the person that he's counting on for this generation
to do something big with.
But sometimes he's using you to breed the person that's going to end up breeding the person
that's going to end up breeding the person that's going to be the best president we've ever had.
And the grandfather's never going to know about it. One of the chapels I want to
saw in Venice, they said this place took 330 years to build. The first engineer that wrote out
the map and the wrote out the what he called it the plan. The plan for the architecture plan.
He knew what he was building.
His great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great,
grand kid was never going to see it.
Can you imagine you got a vision that you built something that you're never going to
fulfill?
We forget that sometimes we're just going to come and go and it's okay, bro.
Be patient.
You're just playing a role in something much bigger that you don't know about that. Maybe you if you're lucky
If you are lucky to see
A part of that become a reality whether you're being used in a big way or if you see it happen into your kid in your
Grand Kid I consider you the luckiest man or woman alive
But if you don't dude you served your purpose in a different way
You just got to do you so we don't know this kind of stuff. You know, we sometimes we sit there
because we tell stories like this and I sit and talk to my dad and my dad will go and say,
you know, he was in love with this one girl or he was in love. My dad's a romantic. He's
big time romantic guy. And you know, he's so I said, okay, but he says, you know, he says to me lately,
he says, but I tell you what, man, if I didn't do that, you wouldn't be here.
Polo wouldn't be here.
And look where life would have been.
And I'm so glad I married your mother
because I didn't even know what was taking place.
And so guys, as smart as an intellectual and crazy,
we sound and all this bullshit we talk,
we don't have a clue what they,
we gotta do our best with our life.
And there's a part of it that you gotta rely on the manups
there's to see what his plans are. And whether you believe in God or not, there's a part of it that you got to rely on the manups there's to see what his plans are.
And whether you believe in God or not, there's a part of me that just kind of like, you know, you still don't
know what's going to happen. You don't know. You're going to go to Louis Bosse and you're going to walk
up and the host is going to look at you. You're going to look at her and all of a sudden you're going
to talk to her and you guys going to exchange numbers. You're going to go to dinner with her and all of
a sudden you're going to be like, I feel some special with this guy.
I don't know what the hell is going on.
I don't even like the feeling I got.
And you're gonna break up with her
and she's gonna be like,
what are you doing?
You have a feeling for me.
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Six months, 12 months of you gonna come up
and say, pack him, we have a cigar,
we go to the house, we'll up to 3 o'clock in the morning
and you say,
I got feelings for it,
but I'm scared, man.
We're having that conversation.
And then you marry her, then you have a kid,
then you're 82 years old,
your son ends up running,
becoming a president, and we read about him, and we're dead.
You don't know this kind of stuff.
So you just gotta sometimes, you know,
you gotta let it come to you.
You gotta rather than, sometimes we put so much effort
in the first step, instead of realizing it.
You gotta dance, man, we gotta dance sometimes.
We gotta learn how to dance sometimes.
It's a crazy question for you.
Staying on topic, put a little off topic.
You talked about the guy who built the thing and then his grandkids and his grandkids
and I just posted something on Instagram today and I want to open it up for everyone is,
would you want to live forever?
No.
No way.
No way.
You would not.
There's a lot of people that do nowadays.
I don't know what these are to do that.
So Jeff Bezos is trying to help me.
Yeah, we love Jeff Bezos, right? I think, I would love to big you back
on what you were saying, we'll go quick.
I think the moral of the story guys
and everybody watching is life has no rehearsal.
Life has no rehearsal, so you gotta live it.
Test first and you have less than second.
Well, yeah, and you have to be courageous
and you have to know that like it's all about leaving your mark.
You know, one of the things that I would do when I would train for the Olympia is there
was two routes that I would take.
And one was just more of like a city route and one was more like the country route.
I used to take the country route and people would say, why?
There was a cemetery that I had to drive by every time I go to the gym.
And why would I go by that?
Think about that for a second.
Why would I let you know that you're going to be there? I'm going to be in that dirt and every time I would drive by, I look go to the gym. And why would I go by that? Think about that for a second. Why would I let you know that you're gonna be there
when I'm gonna be in that dirt.
And every time I would drive by,
I look over to the left and I see people celebrating,
I see people mourning, I see people screaming,
man, I sell it all.
And that thing of the day, I used to be like,
okay, when you buried your father, Phil, what did you feel?
Mm-hmm.
What did you feel?
You'd see his name and you'd remind yourself
of who he was to you and this and that.
And then you realize like you're gonna be in there as well.
Where am I going with this?
I wanna earn that spot, man.
And I wanna have someone to be like,
that was Philip Gerard Heath.
And he was a bad dude.
Gerard is your man.
Gerard, J-E-R-R-O-D.
Well, the reason I bring this up,
this weekend is gonna be the two-year anniversary of my father's death
So I'm planning on like seeing my family and visiting the gravesite
If you think you had a bad relationship with your dad hold my beer buddy like me and my dad literally would get in fist fights
Like like what why don't you try to fight like these days?
I've already been in a thousand fist fights with my father in sane but
So that's sentimental anyway shifting gears, but I was watching an interview with Larry
King and Neil deGrasse Tyson, if you know he's like a famous astrologist, and deGrasse
Tyson asked Larry King before because he's dead now.
So obviously a few years ago he says, would you want to live forever?
And just like that, Larryurking says, yes.
What about you? Degrassi said, very interesting.
He said, no, and I'll tell you why. He said, if you know you're gonna live forever,
why do you need to get up and get up a, you know, get out of bed every morning?
What's your goal?
What makes people great, it's kind of like what you're saying, is knowing that your time on earth is limited.
And to seize the day, and to seize the moment every single day
Because you've got this one life to make something happen and if you know you're gonna live forever Dracula type vibes
What do you know tomorrow you say the number one quality of a CEO is
Urgency getting shit done. So we all have this one life that that's the number one quality of
Getting shit done. So we all have this one life. That's the number one quality of a leader of a leader of creating change in your company Okay, but there's other qualities for you
But I see what you're saying urgency is very big, but anyway, that was it. That was his answer
It was that like you've got this one opportunity and if you think you're gonna live forever like Jeff Bezos
Yeah, literally I don't need to have the one life forever
But I would like to keep getting spun back up and having another chance to get it right.
You wanna respond.
Let me get another chance to get it right.
I'll get it right this time.
I'll do it right this time.
You're fucking a big time right now.
So, we'll do it the next time.
Well, let me ask you, man.
I mean, we have three incredibly highly functioning
individuals, right?
How do you not lose yourself?
Like I talked about, my parents,
I feel like they lost themselves in being a parent
because they want it to be the best parents. They wanted to be the best. And I feel like
they lost themselves. They lost their relationship. They lost who they were. They lost their dreams.
When you were chasing, you know, history, that becomes you. That becomes who you are. When you're
building a company, you're building a family, you're running seven companies right now. How do you not lose who you are?
Like, does that, does what I'm saying makes sense?
I don't know what I'm saying.
No, no, I totally agree.
I totally agree.
And on that part, there is a little bit of a confusion
today for men and parents.
I totally agree.
This, this, this, like, you know, sometimes, you know,
parents say things like, I gave everything for you.
I did everything for my, I wish you would have done a little bit for yourself
Yes, right. You like my mother. I wish you would have remarried somebody. Yeah, you know, it's like I don't want to hear about the fact
They didn't get remarried for me
I don't tell you not to get remarried
You chose not to get remarried and my dad's like I didn't want to get remarried
I'm like dude
I was okay if you wanted to get me as I don't want to get remarried
I'm totally fine with this
I totally agree with that part as well that you still have to serve your purpose a guy asked me question
He says you know my wife wants me to shut down the business.
I say, your wife wants you to shut down the business.
He says, yes.
I said, okay, what do you want to do?
He says, I don't know.
I love my wife.
She says, shut it down because it's too much pressure and go and get the job and make
your $60,000 of your income.
I said, what do you want to do?
He says, well, this is what I want to do.
I'm thinking about making her happy.
And I'm going to quit my job.
It's okay, fine.
Let me have a conversation with both of you together.
So we go and we sit down with both of them.
I said, so tell me what you want to do with him.
I want him to quit his business.
Why, it's not working.
Really, it's not working.
Okay, cool.
It's not working because he's not working
or you don't think the business won't work
and you're not patient.
No, he's working.
He's doing this part, but it's been a year
and I don't see you taking off.
Okay, fine.
Do you think if he eventually does it could take off?
Yeah, probably, but right now,
I would much rather have him work a regular job and make 50, 60K
a year. I said, let me paint a picture for you. I said, are you okay? Is your dream to be
a business owner and do bigger things in your life? Yes, what are they? He talks about it. I want
to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to see this happen
to my wife and my kids. Great. Would you like that to happen to him as well and to use well? I would.
Fantastic. Say you go and do what she tells you to do.
Fast forward to your 70 years old, 75 years old. And you're sitting there and you
were forced to not pursue your dream because your wife, how do you feel about her
right now? resentment. Yeah. A lot of I said, I said, what I said, how do you
think men act out their resentment? How do you think men act out their resentment?
Yeah. I mean, that's like shit., what else? What else? What else? Escape and going and visiting your family,
spending more time with your friends. Do you think a man would resent?
Is a good father? You think again, good men with resentment is a good
husband? No, you see all these old, crotchety men and you wonder why they're so
they're just ruined my dreams. But you know what? Not to change a topic here, but earlier, I got news from the bodybuilding community.
We're talking about this a little bit right now.
I want to kind of come to you because Carolines, I think to get you to come out and come talk
to Phil, I was on a Zoom with the board and all this other stuff.
So I step out and Phil and. And we have a conversation together. And a George Peterson, 37 years old, who
was competing for, I believe, the two 12, uh, uh,
Mr. O'Connor class. Yeah. Uh, today, uh, news comes out. He's supposed to compete
this weekend. He's in Orlando. He posted a story just 12 hours ago. And he posted a, uh,
something on Instagram just a day ago that he's eating the meal in his
room. They find him dead and a lot of different stories came back and this is from evolution of
bodybuilding. The story I was reading about that was shared with me. But you know, there's a lot of
things that's going on right now. Phil, you're in this world. I'm not in this world. If you don't mind
sharing, yeah, that's Georgia, Peterson at 37 years old. Just a, just a beautiful physique and a really, really good man in my, my heart goes out
to him. His family, his sister, his mother, it's tough. Like, like, when I found out, you
know, I was very upset. I'm still upset. This one hurts pretty hard because,
when you go on tour together and you travel the world,
you can do the expose, you do all those things,
you get to know each other a little bit.
Different than just hitting each other up on social media.
And you get to see that smile was real.
Always smiling when he was talking and stuff.
And I mean, look, this, I mean,
look at this physique. Just incredible. It is beautiful. And he worked, he worked so
hard. And we don't know the cause of it. So, you know, I'm not going to speculate. I just
want to celebrate his life and as a human being, I mean, he was just a really good person.
And, you know, going into this weekend, it's it's you know I'm not going to be attending
you know I just I just want everyone that is attending to celebrate George you know
um the bodybuilding community is actually really strong and they they're very resilient
when things like this happen unfortunately they do happen um and we've had a lot of
death within our industry over the past 18 months.
Is it more than usual, Phil?
I would say so.
You know, there was a couple guys, you know, a couple suicides, you know,
and obviously during COVID and stuff like that, you know, people weren't able to go to the gym,
and that was like their, you know, their thing.
Escape.
Yeah.
They're escape.
Exactly.
What bothered me the most, and that Gerard was able to, you know know allow me to have some time to chat about it was he was by himself
And that's what I I'm having a hard time with because you know during the weekly Olympia guys. I mean we are
you know very very lean and
You know we we do things you know to try to get rid of water and stuff like that.
And, you know, we do a lot.
You know, we're just exhausted.
Guys, we're exhausted.
And the biggest thing that I always tried to maintain was, you know, a cordon nucleus
of friends and people.
You know, my trainer, Honey Rambud, is actually, you know, the coach of Hottie Chopin and a
few other guys that are getting ready for the show.
Hottie was always with me, no matter what.
He would watch me, he would watch me,
he would watch me pose, he just didn't leave my side.
Just in case of something went wrong, like in 2009,
I just try to make it about myself.
I had food poisoning, he was there.
When the EMT showed up, he was there, he didn't leave.
So, I know I don't wanna call out his trainer or anything like that.
I just, to be honest, to be selfish,
I wanna know what happened.
Personally, I just wanna know what happened.
And I hope that the truth comes out.
Is protocol for somebody to always be with the person
that's competing, like, especially at this level,
the store of the...
I think it is, in his situation,
what people don't recognize
and I didn't preface this is that,
you know, George used to compete in classic
and then he moved up to 212.
And in 212, just so everybody knows,
this 212 is 212 pounds.
So he, you know, you're normally starting off,
let's just say you start off at 245 pounds,
you're dieting down and, you know, you compete. You know, and this is like a heavyweight at 245 pounds, you're dieting down and you compete.
And this is like a heavyweight boxer or boxer,
they got a weigh-in and stuff.
You have to see guys that got a weigh-in.
What I was told is that he was,
basically, he was already at the top of his weight division
and it was already gonna be difficult,
but I heard that he was a little bit too big.
And when I say too big,
the guy was,
he maybe could have competed in an open.
Because maybe his body just wanted to be bigger, I guess.
And when I say bigger, it's not like a-
225 to 30 or?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well,
maybe he would be better at that.
But the fact is, is that when you try to suck down
just like a wrestling or something like that in high school,
whatever, you're trying to make weight.
And like without heavily speculating,
I just feel like when you're trying to make weight,
it becomes very difficult.
You know, you could be wearing a sun suit,
you could be doing all these other things.
And you're already exhausted.
So when the news comes out,
you know, hopefully we actually get the truth.
You know, I think when I say the truth,
I wanna know because it's imperative
that we understand as athletes,
because we are elite, like we're at the top.
But I don't know how to address
like what happened without knowing what happened.
Just out of curiosity, let me speculate,
let me speculate out of curiosity.
Is in back in the days,
I remember diuretics was a big deal.
I remember like one time something happened to Paul Delette,
you remember the whole thing when he locked up and it were talking about you know all this stuff and Sean Ray had an incident
We even talked about it on the program
I think where he won the classic and then it was given away. I don't know what happened something happened
With that what contest they were checking for diuretic usage and I believe that he you know tested positive
So they are the diuretics, you know, basically it's hard blood hard
blood pressure meds.
You know, it helps, you know, get rid of water. Essentially.
Sucks, it sucks everything out of your body.
So you've already got,
so you've already got like, you know, no fat left.
You hope that you do.
Okay.
And then if you have like a little bit of film of water
and stuff, I mean, just to get, you know, everything's
dried out.
So you're drying your body.
Yes. And you're, you know, you can, you can, to
be quite honest, you can push it. And, you know, I mean, look, like this is F1, you know,
this isn't, you know, like you guys can understand what I'm saying. Of course. Yeah. But, but
was it, was it illegal that became elite? Was it something that was frowned upon that
Mr. Olympia started saying, it's okay. If you you take it not like they don't test for it anymore. I don't you know there's random you know there's random
got it. So you know he wasn't this is not to say that he was at all. Exactly but I you know I'm
just going to lean on the fact that you know he was by himself and I just wish that he wasn't and
you know I can you know and I'm not going to point blame the trainer I'm just saying like I just wish that he wasn't. And, you know, I can, you know, and I'm not gonna point blame at the trainer, I'm just saying, like, I just,
I just know like, from my experience,
I always had someone with me,
whether it be my trainer or my girl,
you know, someone,
because I just feel like it's very important
to monitor anything,
like just to keep your mind, you know,
like, when I get ready for the Olympia,
I'm so dehydrated for like three days that my mind,
like, I can't, I can't process thoughts. So, I just need someone to kinda like three days that my mind like I can't I can't process thoughts
So I just need someone to kind of like keep my mind off of your message be if you could convey anything to the participants this weekend to
Especially for I'm gonna speak to the two 12 guys
You're gonna go up there and you're gonna give it everything you got
But you're gonna remind yourself that George is not there and you're going to pose for him.
And in the event that you guys can come together and create some type of message to support
one another, you do it.
And moving forward, we just have to, you know, we're going to always compete at a very
high level, but we got to remind ourselves that we're not promised anything and just celebrate his life
because we all got the pictures and stuff, you know, I don't know what to post.
Yeah, I don't know what to say. But all I know is that like, you know, he's
he's passed on and I'm sad and you know, my heart goes out to his family. You know he has a ton of friends in our industry. He was he was just
the nicest guy
I'm sorry, man, you know, but uh who who is who is protecting the athletes?
There's no teams. There's no union. There's there's no I mean, there's five or six different organizations
I think back to
There's no, I mean, there's five or six different organizations. I think back to, there's something that happened in the last
Tyson Fury Deontay Wilder fight that hit me so hard to my core.
He fired his training, his training staff.
Deontay Wilder, because his corner stopped the fight.
He was cut and Deontay Wilder fired him because he was like,
you need to let me die in the ring.
I never quit. I'm not a quitter. And his corner stopped the fight. De fired him because he was like, you need to let me die in the ring. I never quit.
I'm not a quitter.
And his corner stopped the fight.
And the out-of-the-wilder seriously said,
you gotta let me die.
And I go out on my shield.
And that hit me so hard because I felt the exact same way.
If when I was in the minor leagues, Adam, I shit you not.
If you told me, Gerard, here's a pill.
And if you take this pill, you're going to the major leagues. But you're going to die at 40. I would have taken it without even thinking twice. I would have
gobbled it before you could have even described anything. The anything outside of my immediate goal
was so abstract. Anything I wanted. Bro, you're locked in. I would have traded anything. I would
have traded second half of my life to achieve that goal. You're locked in dude. Who is protecting you guys from yourself?
The trainers.
They're supposed to.
The wives, the girlfriends.
Back in 2009, I was getting ready for the Miss Olympics on that Thursday night.
I wasn't feeling right.
Next you know I'm puking my brains out.
I lost 20 pounds within that time period.
EMTs were called at 5.30 in the morning and they did not want me to compete.
And I probably shouldn't have.
But yeah, was I praying to God saying,
like, please let me compete?
Absolutely.
Because I'm thinking, my purpose was like,
these fans have flown so far that I just need to show up.
I just wanna show up.
I just wanna do it.
I just wanna try.
I'm not gonna win, but I wanna try.
And I made it, and I had to make a deal with the EMTs
and say, if I get sick one more time while they're there, I have to quit. And I didn't. But
they still stayed for like another hour to check vitals and this and that. Um, you know,
I almost feel bad for even, you know, and I'm not comparing myself, but it's going back
to what you're saying. I mean, my mindset was just like, I gotta keep going. So it is hard, but again, I wasn't by myself when I was sick.
So you have to make sure, if any advice for the athletes,
you've got to make sure guys that you,
you're not by yourself. Maybe, maybe, maybe,
maybe let me ask you a different question.
Maybe, how often does the Master Olympia brand hold trainers
accountable and have conversations with them?
What's the relationship between the brand and the trainers if they're that
heavily involved in these types of decisions?
Good, good. At an addition to that, what's the qualifications to be an Olympia trainer?
How do you do these guys? Are they gonna be a certified? How do you?
I mean, there would be no different than a boxing trainer. It's the same thing. So I mean, like, it's the same thing.
Like, but I'm curious, the first one.
Is there a relationship between
Mr. Olympia and the trainers?
Or no, okay.
I mean, it's not like, I mean,
it's independent.
They can do whatever they want to do.
Right.
And ultimately, I'm just gonna call for what it is.
I mean, we're grown men, women, whatever that can beat.
I have to be okay with what I do with my own body as well.
But with Jharab was saying earlier,
who's protecting the athlete from themselves,
and usually it's supposed to be your team.
And I have always made sure that I did have
my best friend there, my girl there, my trainer there.
Some, like when I say my best friend,
like he would be the one that,
if something were to happen, he'd look me in the eye eye and say I've known you for the longest out of anybody
I think you need to stop and I would and he would be the one that I would listen to so I think athletes moving forward
You always got to make sure that you have someone that
Will hit that button for you and you respect it
Because you just don't want to push yourself too far and anything. I mean Pat
You you you have a best friend that would probably sit you down and be like hey, man
You know, you're working too much this and that you know or hey man
I think you need to spend more time with your family or whatever and you would listen to one
Well, I think we all have those people you You told me you had panic attacks, anxiety attacks.
Plenty of them.
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's just, yeah, this is a different world.
Because this is, I didn't put stuff, you know, I'm not, you know, it's a very different
world in this world.
You're different with chemical, and you're definitely, I mean, I'm just going to call
it for what it is.
You're definitely dealing with, you know, chemical muscle is. You're definitely dealing with, chemical muscle enhancement.
You're definitely dealing with certain things.
I'm not gonna speculate at what he was doing
or anything like that.
All I know is that my friend died, man.
He passed.
And you know, I don't, I just need more information.
I need more data.
So he doesn't, I just wanted, I thought it was,
I appreciate you sharing,
because I'm sure the audience is wondering what your thoughts are
and I saw where you were at before.
I thought it was appropriate for you to share your thoughts with it.
And to the bodybuilding world, man, you know, it's, uh,
it's one of those things that when a guy decides to go compete in that world,
it's tough to explain the height, the desire to want to do that.
It's not for everybody.
People think it's just a regular thing.
It's so technical and detailed for what they do. Prayers goes out to George and his family
on what they're going through right now. Because at the end of the day, I wonder what they're thinking
about. They're the ones that are probably going through the toughest pains right now, seeing these
stories coming from all over the place. So if Dylan and Tiko wanted to be a bodybuilder, what would
you say? Like at what level?
They wanted to be Mr. Olympia.
I would say only do it if you have a chance to win the whole thing, not to just compete.
It's what I would say.
Only do it if you have the chance.
I would have them go sit with guys like him to say, you'd be a top 10 guy, you ain't going
to be, you ain't going to be.
So I don't think you ought to do it.
And then at that point, if you want to do it for you know for yourself to have fast
Maybe it's very interesting what you just said. Yeah, I don't see a point to do Mr. Olympia unless if you're gonna
Wind the whole thing matter of I don't even think there's point to a lot of things until you can become very very good at that world
Everyone's got their own talent. I think there's certain people that like I lived this morning
I was at the gym early.
I loved right now what's going on.
You right now training.
Are you and I gonna go compete senior
in Mr. Olympia anytime soon?
I don't know, he may,
but he was talking about a last time, but.
But the extreme nature of it doesn't scare you.
I think one of my kids is gonna pursue
some kind of extreme level of competition,
whether it's business, Hollywood,
scripts, sports, you know, I don't know.
And there's nothing I can tell them to stop
because you couldn't tell me anything to stop.
Nobody can tell me to stop.
You can't, you just can't tell somebody like that
what they're gonna be doing.
But I think what you said was really,
actually what you said is actually what I told myself,
was like if I'm gonna do this,
I better make sure that I'm making a living from it
and that I can get everything out of it that I want. And if I'm doing the
Mr. Olympia, I best damn sure better be able to be highly, I mean highly competitive.
And if I'm not, I gotta give myself like three to five years and I gotta pick
another path. I agree. I agree. Well, you said something that I just gotta, I have that question.
Like, to me, you said you would have done whatever drugs
or whatever it took.
And if you were to be dead by the age of 40,
so be it.
Die on your sword in the ring.
You're saying for sure.
That to me is, look, respect to your opinion.
That to me is the exact opposite
of how I'm living my life.
I wanna live a long time.
I wanna have kids.
I wanna have grandkids. I'm seeing my friends. But that may have been where you, I want to have kids, I want to have grandkids, I want to see my friends.
But that may have been like where you were at when you were younger.
I can't explain it to you.
Right, I'm not judging you, I'm just letting you know where I'm at.
I feel a little judgment though, I feel like you're judging me.
I just, I think you see all these athletes,
you know the saddest thing, I go to the fucking Dolphins game
and you see these guys and they get paraded out on the field
and they're 75 years old now.
And their legacy is that they were the undefeated team
on the dolphins.
50 years later, they're like, I was on the team.
It's like, buddy, do something else with your life
at this point.
I'm not saying that none of them are it.
Dude, you want to see what the likes of the world.
Watch the 86 meth documentary that's great.
We talked about it a little bit. Once Paul Tommy Cleans, watch
let me dice train that in that doc. And they ask him, they're
like, was it worth it? He goes, I was on the greatest team in
the history of sports. What else is ever going to compare to that?
Okay. I was talking about a 35 years later. The guy is toothless
and brainless at this point. But that's my point. What's
you're willing to sacrifice everything
for the first 25, 30 years of your life
and the rest of your life is so mean.
By the way, the world is ran by those people.
That's what I was gonna say.
What do you mean, ran?
Let me look at that.
Look, the world is made run by 70 and 80 years.
What country are you living in right now?
It was the United States of America.
Okay, the people who founded it, what did they do?
They fought for their freedom, of course.
You think there were some people in Britain
and they're like, okay, no, no.
Don't compare Lenny Dykstra to George Washington.
Oh, I'm Girard, George Washington.
No, no, wait a minute.
No, no, no.
You said dolphins, I'm not talking Girard,
you said dolphins.
Okay, I'm just saying, it's people that give everything.
Dude, you know what you just said right there?
What did I say?
We're talking about Adam.
Do you feel like Adam, I think?
Let me explain to you.
So you mean to tell me, so right now,
your 22 year old son is watching this.
And he's obsessed about being the greatest,
whatever, whatever, whatever.
You gonna tell him, dude, relax.
If it means, if it means putting some harmful products in your body and dying
in the next five years, the dolphins have nothing to do with that. I didn't say putting
in stuff in your body. I'm just saying, I'm giving, using George's words, if it means
ruining your body and literally dying. Well, George a little extreme in the way you do.
Well, that's, that's what I was asking. I know what you said dolphins. That's the type of proposal. If you eliminate dolphins, yeah. Okay. I'm saying, is it, for me, do you want to die by 40 or live a long life?
At 35.
I didn't understand what you're saying.
But you have to ask me so.
I didn't understand.
Yeah, but you have to ask me so for a long time.
I think the thing is that.
I think the thing is that.
But it's like 35.
But it's like 35.
Dude, legacy means so much.
Okay.
So in a weird way, I'll tell you, so much. Okay, so like it's 35 now.
In a weird way, I'll tell you, in a weird way,
my body would have died, but my legacy would have lived on.
I would have been a big leader forever.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Like, all my, every,
doesn't do anything for me.
Nothing.
What if you're a big leader?
I don't think I'm going to be on the bench the entire time.
You're in the big leagues, bro.
Like, I don't, guys, I don't, I know it's dumb.
I don't know how to explain it to you.
So fun.
I don't know how to explain.
There's, there's some kind of,
there's some kind of legal out there listening to this
that knows exactly what I'm saying.
Of course.
Of course.
Let me give you a little optics.
You said if you were on the bench,
at least you would have died on the bench.
There's a big dent, and I want you to live to the,
literally your journal, 150 years old.
I'm gonna go down.
He's gonna go down a seven time Mr. that's a big day and I want you to live to the literally your journal, 150 years old. He's going to go down a seven-time Mr. that's a legacy.
You because you made it to the major leagues and you know you hit 220 for half a season.
That's something that he doesn't use.
Okay, I get it.
But if he doesn't use that.
I get it.
That's what he values.
But is it, but to use Pat's point, if you're going to do this,
I want you to be the best of the best the best not riding the pine
No, man like that's what he said if Dylan if Dylan or Tika are gonna do it
He wants them to be the old man the old man and the sea. Yeah, you ever read the old
Throw some earnest having you ever read the
What have you ever read it the old man? Yes, in eighth grade. I had to read it
What he was willing to die for that fish?
He was willing to die for a fish for that fish
Yeah, I read mommy did that fish. All right, hey, let me ask you a question step outside with you right now, George
Hey, you like that fish you like art, right? You like art, right? He's the arch. Okay, so basket
I'll how old did he die 27 right 27
Talk about impact that a hero and overdose
So obviously he was doing it like you know creating these masterpieces, right? You know how expensive those pieces are right now we
Very very expensive right Pat a box cats. It's it's ridiculous. Yeah, all right. Let me give you let me throw something your way
Let me take a rather would your rather be would your rather be
Two-pok
died by at age 25
What would you rather is to park dead and I'm not joking about that like
Like like he said we've covered one story
Yeah, I'm just gonna put this side to box gonna live forever these guys
Would you rather be two-pock or biggie? They both died, you know in their 20s
Yeah, oh would you rather be Jay-Z worth a billion and he's gonna live for till he's a hundred years old
Well now would you rather be you don't have a choice?
You don't have to know you do not have a choice. I want to be Jay-Z
No, what I'm trying to tell you is, I love girls, girls, girls, girls.
Yeah, so the point I'm trying to make to is
everyone's dreams are different.
I get it, but if you're dreams end up dead.
You right now, I guarantee you there's a group of people
listening to this that fully subscript to your way of thinking.
To think I'll live.
Yeah, and yeah, the same life, I fully get it,
and I guarantee there's a group of by the way like your opinion
But the point is there's certain people man who feel they got a calling on them
Who feel like they want to do something bigger and that life is not necessarily the most
Exciting life to get to the point of it becoming a reality that journey can be annoying at times. I feel you
I get it, but it's also I'll use this analogy that I use with when I do saw stocks
You got one minute or change in the store and go
Fine, put a timer for the same I see kids in their 20s that are partying like there's no tomorrow in salvage
They're spending all their money. They're yoloing it up. They're killing it
They're doing and I have to remind them,
dude, one day you're gonna be 30.
One day you're gonna be 40.
Don't spend all your money.
Don't do all the drugs now.
Don't do all the drugs now.
I would later.
Spread it out.
Save your money.
Occasional.
All right, next.
Have some moderation, dude.
Like I'm done.
All the drugs. I'm ready to do all the money now. All the money now. Did you guys go to the bar before this would add them? All right next
Did you guys go to the bar before this would Adam like is as Adam at a few drinks today
I had one goal zero value today
I want to live a long life. I want to have kids.
I want to be a grandfather.
I want to do that.
Let's talk about a serious topic.
Playboy releases October covering featuring a man.
Go ahead.
Let me say that one more time.
October's issue of Playboy is a man.
2012 Digital Government Future, Bretman Rock,
a 23 year old male social media influence originally from the Philippines digital government featured Bretman, rock, a 23 year old male
social media influence originally from the Philippines.
It's Bretman.
The company set on Twitter when they unveiled
the October Fraud Cover Friday attached to the Post,
was a short video, Bretman dressed in a woman's lingerie
and heels with about bow tie and bunny ears,
completing the look, rock rose to fame as an influencer
on YouTube and Vine, later releasing his own line of makeup
to go along with the makeup tutorial, videos, later releasing his own line of makeup to go along
with the makeup tutorial videos you often post,
rocks appearance on the Playboy cover
will not be the first time he has appeared on a magazine cover,
having previously been seen on the cover of Gate Times in 2019.
So why Playboy overplay girl?
I wanna get you inside.
I think you have the best inside of you.
Have you ever seen him do his social media?
I've seen him on different videos.
He is legit hilarious.
So before I get into like why I think this is definitely
very wrong and not cool at all, man, he's hilarious.
And my ex-girlfriend used to love him and watch his stuff.
But this is where Playboy's at now.
This is how tarnished their brand is.
This is how irrelevant they are that they're looking for something to get them out of the dumpster fire that Playboy is now.
They had, I don't know what we've talked about on the podcast, what you could buy Playboy brand for and turn it around and turn it into something freaking awesome.
But this is where they're going now. They're taking the gage dude, putting them in heels
and throwing him on the cover.
Not play girl.
Play boy.
Hugh would be turning in his grave right now.
And on someone who has partied in the play boy
mentioned a few times, there's a lot of better stuff
out there to pick from than the Bretman.
I'm just letting you know.
I'm wondering what the girls think.
Seriously, because it is a competition, right? As a model. Yeah, you know, they took it. They took their job
There's gonna be a feminist supporting women
Jobs but you know the first my first reaction is why not play girl
Yeah, you know what you said that first. Yeah, I asked the question
Well, you brought out up yesterday when you say why not play growl over playboy, but then also
Is it selling
You know is there numbers that support you know to me like
Is it a magazine what do we be talking about it?
I pull up what I'm just female would we be talking about it?
It's no it works. I couldn't care less man. Is this still more what anything else is this still shocking to us?
Like is it I'll be honest.
When I saw Mrs. Nevada, I was shocked.
I was like, that's, that's, and then I thought,
like, wow, you know, I felt bad for biological women
because I'm like, man, this is a,
this is a, a, a miracle of surgery.
Right.
Who is Mrs. Nevada?
What was that? Mrs. Nevada is a transgender woman now who won Mrs. Nevada.
You know, very beautiful in all that.
But I mean, like that was shocking in who it was, right?
Whereas this playboy thing to me is just,
it's a publicity stunt.
It's a gimmick.
Yeah, that's, that's, yep.
It's a Mrs. Nevada. So that is, that's, that's, yep. It's missing the bottom.
So, yeah, that, that to me, like,
Vegas, baby.
Yeah, if that was on, now, if that was on,
if she was on the cover of Playboy,
would that even raise an eyebrow?
Would we talk about it?
You know, like, I'm, I'm,
so it's a good thing that I'm so desensitized
is that what we're at, make nothing burger.
But I guess I should have read in society. I mean, we're at? Big nothing burger? So here's where we're at in society.
I mean, we're just like, okay, so whatever
is just gonna be clickbait and something
that we can just talk about, doesn't matter what it is then, huh?
I got stats here.
Here's a Playboy magazine.
I'm purely looking at business.
Demos.
This is the Playboy magazine's demographics.
If you can flip a Saudi audience, can see it, David.
So male, 83%, female, 17.3 17.3% okay fine age 18 to 24
quarter 25 to 34 another quarter 35 to 44 21 45 to 54 15 and a half percent. So
say 18 to 54 is a majority of their market 9.7% about 55 watch playboy. Okay
look at playboy. Howhold income, 16% make six
figures. That's pretty solid by the way. People with money subscribe to playboy.
Meritle status, 40% are married, 45% are single, and you got the rest. Full-time
professional management students that subscribe into the content. So now, if this
is a publicity stunt for getting people to talk about it,
am I going to go buy it if I'm getting publicity on this?
I'm probably not going to buy it.
You know someone I'm saying, I don't know if this kind of publicity gets me to buy it.
If it's to attract a new audience, okay, go.
Yes, you're doing it.
If you are trying to attract a new audience,
but that new audience isn't as big of an audience
as people think.
It's less than 1% that you're looking at it as an audience.
So if you, Jerry Springer years ago,
had was doing his Jerry, Jerry, Jerry on one day,
he says, I'm smarter than this.
I know politics.
I used to be a mayor since the Senate
before I cut that check to that lady,
but I'm a mayor.
I know politics.
I should have my own show.
And he started talking about serious issues
in his morning show.
His numbers plummeted.
You know what they realized?
Who are your viewers?
Is mothers and wives that are staying home
that just want to be entertained for the time that you got?
What are you doing talking about serious issues?
That's the last thing they want to hear you talk about
and you lost your audience.
So we're going to find that if in the next six, 12, 18 months
of Playboy bankruptcy or another bankruptcy again, they totally disrespected your audience. So we're going to find that if in the next six, 12, 18 months of playboy
bankrupt, a file store, another bankruptcy again, they totally disrespected
their audience.
But if this thing takes off, listen, maybe they were targeting an audience
that we would not pay the price.
It does reeks of desperation.
It does reek of desperation for sure.
I agree with you.
Yeah.
This seems like it's publicity stunt, but nobody like, by the way,
when you were reading the stats, they're just like every day American.
You know, 30 year old guy makes 60 grand a year,
you know, maybe he's married, maybe he's not,
just wants to see a hot chick, see some titties.
All good, have a beer, see some titties, all good.
Now I gotta see this.
Seven o'clock Adam is my far away, my favorite Adam.
Let's both share whatever you did. All Adam. Let's do one last time.
Sorry. Let's go about let's do Pandora papers because we haven't done it yet. Go to page
three to do Pandora papers. This is the last story before we wrap up. I got a head out.
Pandora papers biggest ever leak of offshore data exposes financial secrets of rich and
powerful. This is a guardian story. If you can pull it up as well, millions of documents
reveal offshore deals,
assets of more than 100 billionaires,
30 world leaders, 300 public officials,
branded the Pandora papers, the cashier,
included 11.9 million files from companies
hired by wealthy clients to create offshore structure
and trust in tax havens such as Panama,
Dubai, Monica, Switzerland, and Cayman Islands.
The Pandora papers represent the latest and the largest
in terms of data volume in the series of major leaks
of financial data that have convulsed
the offshore world since 2013.
The famous ones that appear in Pandora's papers,
Shakira, Ringo, Star, 20 Blair,
King Abdullah, Second of Jordan,
Guillermo, Lasso, President of Ecuador, Elton, John,
Claudio Schifre, and Sh Shifre and amongst many other names.
Who else do you have here? Tony Blair, we've talked about those guys. Vladimir Putin's also
on there. The papers reveal the extraordinary hidden wealth of Russian President Vladimir
Putin's inner circle. His childhood front and an alleged former lover are amongst those
revealed to have a mass extraordinary wealth hidden through offshore companies.
Okay. What do you think about this Gerard?
This just goes to show, guys, that there is a completely different world out there.
When we talk about the global elites and people are like, oh, it's a conspiracy.
You're going crazy again.
How many more times do you need to see it?
How many times do you need to see the Panama papers?
How many times do you need to see the Pandora papers?
How many times do you need to have, howora papers? How many times do you need to have,
how many more Jeffrey Epstein's do you need to have
be paraded in front of you?
How many more times do you have to read
about the pentagon papers?
Guys, there is a completely different world out there
for the global elites that we know nothing about.
Then while they're taxing you and taking all of your stuff,
all right, and taking your future,
and right now they're gonna raise the debt limit, where, okay,
what, where does that money go?
That money goes, how did Trump pull us out of the Paris Accords?
How does he pull us out of the WHO?
Okay, so our money goes to NATO,
American tax dollars goes to NATO,
goes to the Paris Accords,
the climate change, this climate change,
oh, climate change, this and that.
And then it all ends up where in these offshore accounts with these globalist
oligarchs, it's a big club as the late great George Carlin would say,
and you ain't in it.
And the person here that I feel most disgusted about is Julian Assange.
Julian Assange is going to die
in a prison. He's going to die in a prison for exposing the truth. Julian Assange, the
founder of WikiLeaks, is going to die. And they're probably the elites will probably have
his name stricken from the records. And there'll be a few crazy, killing on conspiracy theorists
on a blockchain. A hundred years from now talking about there was a guy named Julian Assange
who knew that all this stuff was going on.
He knew that there was sex trafficking going on.
New that there was offshore accounts where people were using diamonds to sell access and
they were funneling billions and billions and billions of hardworking everyday people's
money into their own freaking pockets while they're dividing us down.
You know what? I can go for another hour and a half don't don't be gonna be starting on this guys if
If you're not reading this if you're not paying attention to this and if you don't see what's actually going on
I will we can't help you anymore
Yeah, but why is this any any of this new?
Like this has been going on for years. We all saw in the Wolf of Wall Street
Swiss bank accounts Jordan Belford
Strapping money onto people.
You're brought up to pantomopapers,
wealthy people, shock or alert,
don't want to give up all their loot to the government.
It's not the, it is what it is.
It's not the money, right?
The money is the hypocrisy, where they'll sit there
and they'll tell you that you're not paying your fair share.
And I need to take another 25% of Mr. Bet David's wealth
because I need blah, blah, blah, there's poor kids
and starving in Sarasota. And then the money ends up where? Okay. We don't have
a revenue problem in this country. And they want to do a global tax now, mind you. They're
the global taxes coming, global business taxes coming, global income taxes coming. It's
all coming, right? So we, we, whatever amount of revenue we generate they don't pay their taxes it goes to
their offshore they don't play the rules that they make us play by they don't play by those rules
so the hypocrisy pisses people off and I can understand the average person doesn't have 50 million
dollars to figure out that person doesn't have 50 thousand dollars but you have to understand the
access that's being sold this is this is access game. This is okay, Tony Blair.
Tony Blair, the prime minister of great Britain,
our biggest ally in the world, the head of NATO, right?
The front lines on Europe,
now you make 250,000 pounds a year, buddy.
Where did you get $100 million?
How?
Would you get that money, but you make 200 grand.
Would you get the money?
You got caught with 50 million?
Where, where did you get that money, buddy?
What deals are being made that we don't know?
What access is being sold that we don't know?
You understand what I'm saying?
They wanna go after Trump's tax reports.
How long do we hear about Trump's tax reports
we are we need Trump's tax returns but he's Trump's tax return is lying about his money
he's actually a decadent millionaire he's not a billionaire
and then these guys have have the balls to have a hundred million dollars stored
offshore
where did they get the money dude
we're how did they acquire this well you're all i mean Tony Blair good question
but obviously everyone else on this list, Elton John,
King of Doola, Vladimir Putin.
Yeah, we know it.
They got the frickin' money.
They got the frickin' ... But something that you're, I don't know, I don't
want to say discounting, there is an entire profession in this country called estate planners,
trust in estates, attorneys, tax attorneys.
I go to a conference called the Hickering estate planning conference I'll be going in January there's an entire occupation that
the elite mega billionaire multi-millionaires hire these tax estate they avoid estate taxes
it's all legal it's all legal where's the revenue coming from what would you mean the revenue see I
Say these people have these money and they're illegally avoiding a state taxes
Yeah, but he's saying like where is 250,000 dollars?
Generating a hundred million dollars money, but I can assure that we know where Elton John got his money and Tony
Okay, King Abdullah got his money
Right, there's a cypress ring go star got as money some of these people actually made
this money they just want to avoid taxes which I'm okay with
that's the stuff baby I really don't care so we're
trying to you like save that money I say keep that money so which one is more
concerned with where they got the money I'm more concerned with where the head of
figures the head of state of where they got the money sure I
don't know does this hurt them?
These guys right now who are on that list sitting there pissed off
that these things are public.
Do you think they're frustrated about it?
Is it in good luck?
Yeah, I don't think that's how I'm gonna have you.
What's the bad luck?
What's the bad luck?
The fact that they have offshore money, money offshore
or what's the, I don't know if this changes anything.
We know that rich people do stuff to avoid taxes.
Okay.
You know how they got the money?
Good question.
But that's something Pelosi, we saw what happened with Pelosi.
There's two business models.
One, go make it yourself, two, go create the laws to benefit you.
I mean, that's the politics.
Take it.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not anything new that's going on.
I just wondered this.
I mean, this keeps happening over and over and over again.
People are fascinated with knowing how much money people have.
You know, my God.
Let me see how much money this guy has.
Let me see where he has his money at.
But do you think these guys were getting these papers,
hoping other people's names were under
and they were disappointed?
Is he kind of like,
I was hoping we should have Trump or we were open
and someone's on,
oh, okay, let's just put it out there
and it wasn't right it up.
We said,
we're going in or whoever found it.
We've got this.
We're some of these guys so excited
to have other names on their Shakira.
Okay, good for Shakira.
You know what this tells me?
Would Shakira, whoever recounting this and whoever's CPAs, she's probably got better
ones than JLo does.
So you know, who's Shakira's people working for?
That's advising on things like this.
But no, I think maybe they were looking for other names too that was going to be a little
bit bigger and they didn't hit.
And quite frankly, those people are disappointed. All the other guys, every few years you're going to find a little bit bigger and it didn't hit and Quite frankly those people are disappointed all the other guys every few years
You're gonna find out where the wealth especially nowadays people getting better at getting this kind of information
This is no longer a big news was like you talked about earlier was Jen Sack you refusing to admit
Let's read that let's let's wrap that up page eight
Sack you won't say whether Hunter Biden has divested from Chinese private equity firm or not
Did I say page eight yet yeah, White House Press Secretary,
Jane Secchi, a Monday of Refuse to say
what the President Biden's son,
Hunter has divested his 10% stake in a Chinese equity
from the firm despite the President's pledge
to prohibit family members from engaging
in international business dealings.
Chinese business records reviewed by Fox News
indicate Hunter Biden still holds 10% stake
in one Chinese private equity firm.
This comes after then decade, then candidate Joe Biden said in October 2019 that his
family would not engage in business dealings with other countries overseas.
Hunters previously sat on the Chinese firm's board before announcing in October 2019
that he would be stepping down from mounting scrutiny from his father's presidential
bid.
I actually want to know how sacky answer this question.
Can you pull up exactly what she said in here?
If you have it, I want to know what that exchange sounded like.
Was it like blowing you off or was it actually an answer
that's not saying about Hunter Biden?
Let me see how this was.
Can you imagine what China has on Hunter Biden?
Can you imagine the blackmail that they have on Joe Biden,
Hunter Biden like, this dude is like, he's Frado, right?
Like, I mean, he's Frado Corleone.
He's not saying the exact same thing
that the liberal said about Trump and Russia.
I would say Bush's daughters would be closer to Hunter Biden,
but that's even like, that's really disrespecting Bush's daughters would be closer to Hunter Biden, but that's even like,
that's really disrespecting Bush's daughters.
This is a rancor.
This guy's a, he's a massive drug addict.
This is a rancor.
Her answer is I'd point you to his representative on that.
He doesn't work in the administration.
And then again, I convey to you, and then I think I'm going to have to move on, that you
should talk to his representatives. Sackie said in February that Hunter was in a process of unloading his shares in February
He has been working to unwind his investment, but I would certainly point you
He is a private citizen. I would point you to him or his lawyers on the outside on any update
So she said in October in February that this was gonna happen now. She's just avoiding it saying it's not my job
She's not part of the administration go look elsewhere
You know as a voter do you think that you know gets get somebody that voted for them to say yeah, I really don't care
Like does that change your mind about Biden's vote in 2024? Are you kind of like oh my gosh?
I can't believe this is happening. It's gonna change my way of voting. I've been pretty clear
I could care less about Hunter Biden
I'm glad that he's not, like if he was involved
in the administration, a lot of bells would be going off.
But he's a private citizen, he's a drug addict,
I'm sure he's done some shady stuff.
But think God, he's not in the room with Biden
making any decisions.
Well, that's not true though, did the Boba Linsky stuff
back when the election was rounding in the form
to that bother the u-roll
that turned out not to be true that that that story would like was bob lensky
was what i came on the the new trucker karson
turned out it was one hundred percent or was very much verified by multiple
sources
literally does does not that the e-mail is the big i gets ten percent with
i do say that i does take ten percent that's something that he jokes about a
lot uh... you know what i just i don't think that the hunt i think i think i
think i don't care less either
no matter how many times i tried explaining to them like
what a national security threat this was what a liability this was the
national i think the United States they they could not
advice to the right wing media pushing the hunter media hunter by the
stuff down the throat people that
they just don't care
like if they they just don't like you can argue why you should
It's it's almost like I didn't care when Eric doesn't feel like a low blow does it feel like a low blow
How so like going after guys family a guy you know, I think it's fair game
But if you're doing that with like why would you vote for this man hunter-biden smoke crack?
It's like okay, but it's the it's the does nothing for me black male
But the same thing when they would make fun of Eric Trump all the time. I was like I don't care like
Listen everyone has family Bill Clinton's brother was a weirdo
Obama's brother can't like I tend to agree with you there. I agree with you. Like people are gonna have a good people in their family.
And I didn't like her.
What was the woman from Alaska?
I didn't like her at all.
Sarah Paling, her daughter, the daughter.
The daughter had a handicap kid.
Yeah, that was horrible.
Leave the family out.
But this is different.
If he, if he,
This is different specifically because,
Okay, he was a legally selling access.
And I'm totally cool with the press finding out
what the hell's going on.
I'm not saying leave him alone,
but unless it's actually something shocking
and like reveals something that actually compromises
Joe Biden, in fact, then all right,
I don't think most people care.
There's a Hunter by stuff, bother you at all or no?
I'm so confused right now.
So this guy is doing business with the number one enemy
that doesn't do nothing to you
and it's the son of the president.
Yeah, I don't know about that, bro.
So you forget that a guy is doing business
with the number one enemy.
I'm not cool with the genithing.
Who would that should be enough?
That's the issue.
So your father is the president of the United States
and your son is doing business with China
and there's dealing there.
Anything with China I'm not cool with.
I'll say that.
All I'm saying to you is if you're linked,
replace...
They're making them out to be some sort of like global henchman business
man. He's like some crack head dude, but you want to make money. Listen, and I get that he
can't be compromised. Let me let me let me give him a different perspective. How regulated
is the securities industry? Very, very. Okay, so let's just say I'm doing a business deal and I
funneled the money through a non-licensed securities person who's really bringing the business in
and it's wink wink, don't worry about it, but you're doing business, that's illegal.
That's what's going on here except they dictate, China's dictating a lot of the deals
so they can pay this guy a lot.
So he should be held accountable.
Who should be held accountable?
If he's doing something illegal then bring some charges against them.
But it's linked to his father and his father's your president.
Forget it.
I'm not even concerned about Joe Biden.
If Hunter Biden is doing something illegal,
bring some charges against them.
No, no, no, no, you're not hearing like money
doesn't funnel like that.
Money's funneling through a guy's here.
Hey, I need a favor from this guy.
Can you do this?
And I give you the money and you make the phone call.
And that guy, you know, there's something.
So let me throw something you're all for because obviously I know you tend
to agree with Donald Trump on things when everything was coming out that Donald Trump
Jr. was taking these meetings and made these phone calls and Russia and it was fake it was
verified Russell Brandt a guy on the far left who's a came out and talked about it last
week.
I don't care less what Russell Brandt has been.
Because it doesn't favor your argument.
I'm just argument.
What was fake exactly?
No, you actually.
The whole dossier was funded by Hillary Clinton.
I'm not talking about the dossier.
So, but there were meetings with Russia when Trump went out there, like you're saying that
what meetings would Russia?
You're saying that, but what meetings would Russia?
You're saying that Russia had had zero help with anything with, or wait, wait, wait, are you saying that Trump had
Russia help him on the election?
I'm not saying that.
I'm saying, but Russia did.
Yeah, those are two different things, bro.
No, no, no, no, no, no, you can't say to something like that.
But when stories are out and here's my question.
No, stories are out in the news.
U.S. is involved in all the elections.
They tamper every country.
That's powerful.
Tamper's another, but there's a difference to say,
help me out versus a person individually independently does it.
That's not the same thing.
My question to you is, because this is news to me.
Here one day out the other, when news was out there about Donald Trump, Jr. Eric Trump
or divesting of other companies, they're compromised.
At that point four years ago, we were like, well, you know, they're compromised. At that point, four years ago,
we were like, well, they should look into it.
They should.
Oh, no, no, let me tell you what I was thinking about it.
My mind went to this.
If this is true, it's game over for his entire family's legacy.
If any of that is stuff is true,
Trump is using America to make money.
Okay.
If any of that is true,
you're using America to make money.
And that's where I'm at. Well, but if but it is true. I don't know if it's true
I will look what I'm saying is bring some charges
You remember the New York Post story that was supposed to be posted that everything was shut down and with five days later
They're like you can put it up and that one New York Post story that was going viral was blocked all over Twitter
Why right before the election? Why?
What happened there?
I don't remember them.
Of course not.
Seriously?
We talked about it on the podcast.
You know what I like about you?
Let me tell you what I like about you.
You know the movie, you know the movie was the goal fish movie.
What is that one?
The Dory, Dory's the one that's got the memory.
Finally, Neen.
Yeah, I mean, one of the best qualities of shooters is
Amnesia, you got it.
The point is that you're gifted.
The point is that you've got a good memory. I got to give it. And you got a good memory.
I want to know something.
Let me just say one thing.
You know how many times I wake up and think,
even think about Hunter Biden zero.
Why not?
And most people don't, because there's so many other things
that's going on in life that I got to think about Hunter Biden.
If he's doing some illegal shit,
bring some charges against him.
Would you have the same?
But you want me to like,
run down every rabbit hole
because you mentioned Hunter Biden's name to knowing.
Okay, what about the laptop?
What are your thoughts on that?
Tell me what's on the laptop.
I don't know about the laptop.
Show me something that's on the laptop.
What are you doing on the laptop?
All I've heard for the last year is Hunter Biden,
Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden.
What do you do?
Well, bring some charges.
They're trying to get the media to cover the laptop, they're trying to get the media to cover these stories so that you can be aware of it.
I hate this.
And it's being suppressed.
Trying to get the media as if the right doesn't have media.
Newsmax doesn't out there.
Fox Mrs doesn't know.
We just covered the first story that Fox News gets more viewers than anyone else.
Yeah.
The media, the media.
Fox News is the media.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
So we're coming out of it.
So tell your friends at Fox News to start covering the story.
So 2.5 million people a night know exactly what we're talking about.
It's the other three million that are living in an opposite reality
that we're trying to convince that these things that are facts are facts.
Right.
So just because Hannity says that it's not a fact.
No, I'm not a, I'm not a Hannity guy. Yeah, you are. I'm not a Hannity guy. I'm going to paint you as well. Hey, so just because Hannity says that it's not a fact. No, I'm not a Hannity guy.
Yeah, you are.
I'm not a Hannity guy.
I'm going to paint you as well.
Hey, have you ever, did you ever read a Robert Spoltings book, Stealth War?
Did you, did you ever read that?
No, there's a few, there's a few parts in there that I think you would be very interested
in it.
And it's pertaining to the relationship that Hunter about it and actually has.
Okay.
I definitely think that.
That's why it's not just the left.
It's both of them.
McConnell's also on the right.
McConnell's, yeah.
Connections to China.
So this is more de-established.
Oh, but my point is this,
even when we talked about what's your name Elizabeth Wu,
yeah, is that her name?
I just make that up.
Elizabeth, what's the McConnell's wife's name?
Even when they've told stories about her,
it doesn't, nothing for me. And I'm not a McConnell fan, but I'm not gonna go down the rabbit hole Elizabeth, what's the McConnell's wife's name? Even when they've told stories about her,
it doesn't, nothing for me.
And I'm not a McConnell fan,
but I'm not gonna go down the rabbit hole of like,
well, yeah, McConnell's compromised.
There it is.
They figure ahead of the GOP for the last 30 years.
Compromise.
That concerns me.
It should concern you.
Yeah, that doesn't.
But unless they've proven that he's done something illegal,
it's just a story in the news. Did the general milling stuff bother you at all or no?
Let me ask you question. When's the last time when's the last time you serious question though?
When's the last time you said like you remember the scene where
the day
or Giuliani took down like 245
You know mobsers got arrested or Joe Piston and you saw all of them handcuffed walking out
When's the last time you saw that happened into congressman and senators like what's the last time you saw his now has that ever
open in my brain has that never happened in my dreams in my dreams do you know why it's
never happened do you think it's because they've never broken the law because they create
the damn law can you imagine that see how come that's never happened but have you seen
have you seen pastors or priests going through handcuffs and going to jail?
Yeah, have you seen mobsters? Have you seen athletes? Have you seen business people?
Have you seen the only industry that apparently we've never seen that before is politicians?
Well, how does that make any sense?
Yeah, so they're the angels. They're the angels.
They're the angels.
They're the angels.
On the left or the right?
Of course. 30 angels. 30 angels is what they are. Not at all. Yeah. On the left or the right?
Of course.
This is not a politician.
Not once that we say left or right.
This is politician.
Who's not a politician?
Who's the father is?
I get it.
When he deals through his son.
He's the back man.
He funnels deals through his son.
The Samu to go to Boca Rana told me he says,
John's never killed anybody.
He looks at his, I don't care if john's ever killed anybody he said it's not the
person that kills him is the person that orders other people to kill them
that he says Sam he says I've he says he's got four that he took out of whatever
the numbers that he's got out of his 19 he says the rest I ordered somebody else
to do the hit right so it's not him doing it so it's not not necessarily biting
doing the work,
but he's got somebody else that.
We're not saying Shadeer has done Shadeer things,
more things that are illegal.
Trump or Biden?
Not even close.
You think it's Biden?
Do you know why?
Tell me why.
Because if you do it in business,
you eventually get caught and go to jail.
That's why.
That's why.
But in politics, you know,
did you not hear me three minutes ago?
In business, you eventually get caught.
You can't fight it.
You eventually get caught in business.
You can skirt the laws for sure.
Ah, skirt the laws.
No, no, skirt the laws is fine.
I don't disagree with skirt.
You can play into great.
Yeah.
Well, he said that he did.
But politicians can play into black, white,
gray, blue, green, purple, whatever the hell they wanted
to do because they create the laws. that's why we need a clean house anyone
over seventy needs to be out of politics this isn't about seventy doesn't take
seven years to learn about habits it doesn't take seven years to learn about
habits clean house you just need to go to the right environment legal to jail what
happens when people go to jail what do people call jail training ground to
produce more criminals another way okay you go to politics you're like I'm
gonna be a statesman i love america I'm gonna do such great things. Hey, you know, if we
give you 200,000, I'll make a $200,000 cash, of course, just to everybody does it.
Okay, and then Johnny Cash, you want to just take it, everybody does it. You know, walk the line.
Yeah, that's the training ground for producing people that know how to abuse.
Have you ever interviewed a lobbyist? Have you ever had like somebody who was an actually a very close friend of mine?
That's a I can't say his name. That's a very powerful lobbyist for a long time that he left the business and
He's he tells me stuff guy. I will never review he tells me stuff and he says pat as dirty as you think as it is
He says it's a million times dirty
He says you don't even know how dirty it is and how to negotiate with each other
He says you don't even know how they negotiate with us like what things we get you don't even know if the lobbyists
Left the game and they could not exist it be a very different world today the people that would win office
Would be very different people if you didn't have lobbyists,
and if you couldn't take campaign,
there's a lot of different things you can change.
What's the, it's a very hard.
We have to explain one day what the actual way
our government works, that would lobbyists.
And if anybody out there wants to know
like what a lobbyist is, and really,
to explain kind of my time in government,
watch, thank you for smoking.
I'll give a plug for moving.
For nominal movies. Watch, thank you for smoking. I'll give a plug for movie, phenomenal movie.
Watch, thank you for smoking.
phenomenal movie.
Yeah, it's, you know, it's amazing how accurate that was.
Yeah, and they hang out in the state house.
I can only imagine what it's like at a federal level,
but they hang out in the state house
from the chamber to your office is fair game.
So these guys, you try to run from the chamber
so you know the the session will break and all the elected officials that will leave the chamber.
And then the lobbyists like cockroaches they they swarm and they try to get their mark before they get to their
office. So that that walk down the hall is like insane and that's where all the actual all legal. It's all legal.
All right, having said that it's 737,
so we should get cameras and microphones in those halls.
Yeah, all right.
Just, it's fair game, it's fair game.
If you've been a lobbyist, sit down with Pat
on a PBD interview, like you just did
with the guy from Facebook, we need to get
like an insider series going here.
We get another interview.
Oh, a lot of people back have you been getting
from that Facebook interview.
Dude, people are messaging me, texting me telling me stuff that that a heart many people said
They couldn't finish the entire interview. Yeah, it's the most common comment. I'm getting I couldn't wash a whole thing
It was that disturbing. I don't want to do it again
Sean she Sean Spiegel. Okay, go watch that interview. Oh Sean Spiegel. Anyways, we're not here this week
Obviously, that's what we did it today
Next Tuesday. I'll be back next Tuesday Caroline Caroline or no, we Tuesday and Thursday next week,
