Starting point is 00:00:36 Hopefully not a wolf of Wall Street. You know how I feel about that. That's the direction he's going for. By the way, we have a lot of stories today. A lot of stories. First of all, Conor McGregor versus Portier, which was a very, very interesting fight. We'll have to cover that. And after telling you a story about the best card of Conor, I just bought, it's a PSA 10 gem mint. Show that to the side. And autographed. It's this rookie card.
Starting point is 00:00:57 I don't know if you guys can see it or not. And zoom in on it if you can. That's his card. And I'm still in the mindset of buying hold with Conor. I think Conor's got a big, can you see it or no? Did you go on it? When I saw it, I didn't even recognize him because he actually looks like a fighter there. Yeah, he does. He today looks like a billionaire. It's a different look he's got.
Starting point is 00:01:14 When you say, buy and hold, you still think what? You're about to say you still think he's got what? This guy's upside. The only thing I don't like he does is when he crosses the line and goes after wife and spouse and religion and that's when you do that stuff your your your your market value doesn't go great it goes down it's not a good thing do you think he does that because he thinks he's Teflon or is that who he is because that's a that's a

And then you guys got opinions about the NBA stars, the game changing right now.

Six different worlds. 16 year old kid just signed a million dollar contract with over time elite. Jake Paul Troll and Conor McGregor, he won't stop doing that. There was a certain bond between Bezos, Branson, Musk.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Did you guys kind of sense that like they're working as a team? I thought that competitive edge was kind of gone, Rogan getting a little bit more hate from Spotify employees. Andy Jadzi's first email to its employees as Amazon CEO, as a masterclass to memo writing, Warren Buffett allowed Dominique Sue to shadow him for several weeks. The NFL star shared his three key takeaways. We'll cover that as well.
Starting point is 00:03:28 And in US mercenaries who assassinated former President Haiti claimed that they were hired as translators and plot to arrest president. I have some data on this, which will go a little bit down the rabbit hole. I don't even know if we should or whatnot. We shouldn't call you sent a link. I may forward it to you on Larry Cudlow,
Starting point is 00:03:44 set something about red states and blue states and Alas, but not least what's going on with Cuba right now, which is absolutely a Disaster but at the same time. It's a good thing to see the people fighting against the regime I Retweeted something aOC said yesterday with a comment. She made I wasn't happy what what she said But we'll talk about that. So I haven said that, we got a lot to cover you. By the way, just an FYF, anybody is from Cuba.
Starting point is 00:04:09 If anybody lived in Cuba, if anybody can tell us what it's like to be under the communist regime of Cuba. So the rest of us can get an idea about what it looked like. I want you to give us a night, and I'm talking about you lived there recently. I'm not talking 40 years ago I'm talking 10 years ago five years ago 15 years ago
Starting point is 00:04:28 Send us a message here if you have we'd love to dress that with you and Would that be in said let's get right into it. It's okay out of all the stories we got I say we start off with a nice little story with Warren Buffett and Dominic Sue how about we go into that story okay? So Warren Buffett allows Dominic Sue. How about we go into the story? Okay, so Warren Buffett allows Dominic Sue to shout on for several weeks. And if I'll start shared his three key takeaways, let's go into what is key three takeaways we're of spending time with,
Starting point is 00:04:54 demand, demith, the legend. This is a business insider story. So the Tampa Bay Buckingear player said every meeting was a hundred times more valuable than an NBA. The football player took three key takeaways from the billionaire that have underpinned his approach to business and investing ever since. Those were to keep things simple, that's number one. Focus on passions and people, that's number two, and always read, learn, and remain curious
Starting point is 00:05:20 about the world. Let me say that one more time. Keep things simple. Focus on passions and people. Always read, learn, and remain curious about the world. Let me say that one more time. Keep things simple. Focus on passions and people. Always read, learn and remain curious about the world. The six foot four, three hundred five pound alignment also joked about a stage arm wrestling matches with Buffett in recent years. No matter how many times we do it, I still can't beat him. He tweeted. Must be all that Coca-Cola. Su said in January, he tries to catch up with Buffett every quarter and he's gearing up for
Starting point is 00:05:43 an investing career after he returns from football and wants his mentors advice, thoughts. publicity stunt and it doesn't work for me. Okay, really? It's a dual publicity stunt. I am so not interested in this and I'll tell you why. Okay, endemic in Sioux, what's he known for? He's known for being probably the dirtiest NFL player of our power. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Okay, dirty, dirty. Probably. Okay. Dirty minimum. Okay. Nasty. Like he could have ended careers. He did not give a damn. He's stomping on people's hands and he was a very dirty player. Now Warren Buffett is trying to rehabilitate his image.
Starting point is 00:06:15 He's had a bad year if you ask me. Every time he's kind of a lot. I mean, he's kind of getting branded as a guy that you'd be surprised if he can make his own oatmeal and get dressed in the morning. Right. He's in of getting branded as a guy that you'd be surprised if he can make his own oatmeal and get dressed in the morning, right? He's in his 90s. So I think this is an opportunity that he was thinking to rehabilitate his image a little bit in the public eye. Endemic ensue went to the University of Nebraska.
Starting point is 00:06:36 So you're wondering where did this connection even come from. But why do we care that endemic ensue wants to be an investor? How is he even relevant as a football player anymore, let alone someone that's gonna branch off into the investment world. I think it was just, it was an elaborate attempt for both of these guys to grab some good publicity. And then if you look at this, I mean Warren Buffett is a genius. Okay, he's probably one of the sharpest people of the last hundred years.
Starting point is 00:07:02 I mean, you don't accidentally do what he's done. He's unbelievable, but all this stuff that even his three key takeaways had no substance to him. They were so basic and obvious. So I don't think this helped either of them. I think if you objectively look at it, you can kind of see through it. So I think if there's a publicity thought that Warren Buffett wants to do, if that's what you're going with, you got to pick someone better than endowment can sue.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Like that in exactly a head like, if you're saying Tom Brady, you know, shadowed endowment can, Warren Buffett for the last few years, that'd be like, oh holy shit, there's a story there. This is like, all right, it's a football player. I get it in Nebraska connection right there. The biggest thing here is like,
Starting point is 00:07:44 this happened in 2010. There was 11 years ago. So I was like, why the hell is this even a story? You hit the nail on the head and Nebraska thing. He was one of the best players ever to come out on Nebraska. He is one of the dirtiest players in the NFL. I don't know what, you know, why he couldn't clean up his act there. What I will say is I know you're saying that I have that have that Warren Buffett's having a bad year. I know you made a phone that he can't make his own oatmeal However, I think part of the problem with Warren Buffett is The the argument is that he might be a little out of touch these days with today's investor meaning a lot of young Gen Z
Starting point is 00:08:17 Millennials are all about the big one. They keep calling them out. Yeah, they are all about the Bitcoin or the meme stuff Even when I interviewed him he we did not hold back from calling them out. So, you know, it's funny, a lot of that criticism came before the Bitcoin and crypto crash, you know, few months ago, because crypto's gone basically. And the specific argument is you have an outperformed SMP 500 last 15 years. So it's not even a Bitcoin thing.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Sure. It's you have a beaten SMP 500 last year. How does hanging with endemic ensue make you hip? No, it doesn't. I think it was a Nebraska connection. I think you hit the beaten smp 500. How does hanging with endomic ensue make you hip? No, it doesn't. I think it was a Nebraska connection. I think you hit the nail in the head. I think to wrap this all up to tie it over to you, if you have the opportunity to shout a warm buffet,
Starting point is 00:08:54 you go frickin' do that. Boom, bottom line. So I think, look, to get a little, you know, sportsy here, you know, a large percentage of NFL players go straight up broke within three to five years of retirement. I think 50% of NBA players go broke within five years of retirement. So if this is what it takes to basically say,
Starting point is 00:09:14 hey, look, I'm playing in the NFL and I shadowed frickin' Warren Buffett, one of the greatest investors of all time, arguably the greatest investor of all time. Let me take some of these examples. Let me take some of these lessons. I'm curious about that. Bring it to the field.
Starting point is 00:09:26 What are the players? Warren Buffet do for fun. Like, did he ever buy something? I think he orders two egg muffins instead of one. Can you pull, Kai? That's a pull up. Big day for one. What's the Warren Buffet do for fun?
Starting point is 00:09:37 What does Warren Buffet do for fun? I think he actually has fun just doing investing. I know he does not. I think he loves the game. He's like wakeboarding on the weekend. I go, go on here. Let's find out. Go, go on this.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Warren Buffett's favorite hobby if you go down there. Well, do you saw one? Go back. Go back. Go back. Top thing. Warren Buffett's favorite hobby. Reading.
Starting point is 00:09:56 While reading is on the Warren Buffett's approaching best thing, it's a hobby that you genuinely enjoys. Okay, go back to the 25 things you don't know about Warren Buffett. Let's see. If we first stocky body was 11. Keep going, go up. Okay, first talk about he was 11 years old. He made 53,000 dollars by the age of 16.
Starting point is 00:10:10 By the way, that's in a different era. He was rejected by Harvard Business School. Interesting, okay, keep going. Let's see what number four is. We're looking for fun. Kai, keep going. We're looking for fun. Little faster, Kai.
Starting point is 00:10:20 He eats like a six year old. Oh, how's it going? He lived in the same house since 1958. His father-in-law told him, cannot read that guy. His father-in-law told him, his father-in-law told him he would fail. Nice, that's always a good motivator. People will pay millions to have lunch with them.
Starting point is 00:10:35 True, somebody paid $4.57 million like a couple years ago. In 2013, Buffett earned $37 million a day, rough. Nearly 94% of his wealth was earned after he turned 60, big motivator. Never give up, keep going. Wow. Number 10, he never tweeted before.
Starting point is 00:10:53 He's never tweeted before, that's cool, keep going. 11 Buffett owns 20 suits, but has never paid for any. He spends? He spends 80% of his day reading, fantastic. Buffett will give an employee million dollars every year for the rest of his life, his or her life, if they can guess the NCAA sweet 16 teams. That's pretty fascinating.
Starting point is 00:11:12 There's a hobby right there. He likes March Madness. That's right, that's a good point. There you go. He ditched his flip phone for an iPhone in 2020. 2020. He takes a dozen kids to derriquen every Sunday. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:24 I said, no, that's's call Buffett rarely emails. Okay, keep going. 17, he plays ukulele ukulele ukulele. Buffett pledged to donate 85% of his Berkshire Hathaway stock to charitable foundations. Okay. He was awarded the presidential medal of freedom by Barack Obama.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Out of all investing legends, Buffett has the best track record for beating the market. Impressive. His face was on Cherry Colcans in China, in China. Okay, he doesn't follow anyone on Twitter. He's a big fan of breaking bad. Wow. That's a good look.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Keep going. Is that him? That's actually him. That's actually the coolest picture for him. Yeah, that's actually coolest picture. He likes to joke around. Okay, we know that. He likes to joke around. Okay, we know that. He looks to a poem when markets decline. No one can tell you when those will happen,
Starting point is 00:12:10 there's another guy who's going to get an extraordinary opportunity. If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, when all about you are losing theirs, if you can wait and not be tired of waiting, if you can think and not make thoughts your aim, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, yours is the earth and everything that's in it. Okay. All right. Cool. Do we have another one or does it?
Starting point is 00:12:35 Can I make it? Yeah. Here's how your mind can play tricks on you and your eyes. If you go, go back to that list, Kai, go back to the very bottom of it. Go back to number 25. Take a quick glance at number 25 and then look away. I literally, when I first saw that, I thought he looks to porn. I thought that's what it said. He looks to porn.
Starting point is 00:12:48 I'm going. Well, they said, that's good for you. I was saying, is that a business insider does their stories? They wait for number 25. He's really excited. All right. So when Tom Zender spent time with him, he noticed how much point he was. That's probably what his three.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I gotta tell you, when I hung out Warren Buffett, I always did his watch porn. I can't actually see you doing that. I was wondering what he does for fun. I don't know. That's all we did. I can actually see you doing that. I was wondering what he does for fun, I don't know. There we go. Okay, so we love the living, we have planned to learn. What's that?
Starting point is 00:13:12 He plays bridge though. Good for him, he doesn't play back in that. I mean, nothing makes you seem more out of touch than you hang out with endomac in two. I mean, that's all you need to know. There's like two. I feel like that's in touch. You're hanging with.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Okay, so let's continue. Let's continue. Again, again, if you're from, if you're living Cuba for at least 10 years, where you have memories of what that place was like. And it was recent text us at 310-340-1132. We'd like to call you and get perspective what it was like to be in Cuba
Starting point is 00:13:39 and why you and your family escaped Cuba. Let's continue. Ashton Kutcher had some interesting things to say about China. And it's interesting to come from somebody that was an A-lister Hollywood star who's now a big business mogul who was once with Demi Moore and now with Milakunis, I believe. Everyone knows who he is, he's in the investment world.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And here's what he had to say. Ashton Kutcher wants that China warns that China could use TikTok to push anti-US propaganda and create a problem influencing young Americans. He continues, this is a blaze media story. During his time in office, former President Donald Trump issued an executive order banning these Chinese-created and owned social media platforms insisting that the app would be used
Starting point is 00:14:22 to spread disinformation campaigns, benefiting the Chinese Communist Party and jeopardizing America's national security president, Joe Biden, however, revoked the order upon taking office. If I'm China and I want to use, I want to create a problem in that area of the world, specifically a naval problem in the South China Sea, I would probably want to utilize TikTok in order to influence the minds of Americans' culture set. In the early June TikTok, quietly updated its privacy policy with regards to United States users, allowing itself to collect US users' biometric data to include voice prints and face prints.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Now, actually, a culture to say something about China. What do you think about that? It's unbelievable actually. Talk about almost going out of your way to canceling yourself though. Those are the two things you cannot do in Hollywood. It inadvertently praise Trump, which he did, if you read between the lines, and then dog China.
Starting point is 00:15:17 He did both of them, which makes me think his investments are doing very, very well because he has the ability to have a platform and not really care what he thinks, or what anybody thinks about it. It probably means he's going to be doing the sequel, the next five sequels to Dude, where's my car because it's probably going to be hard to get a major movie finance. But I think it's very telling.
Starting point is 00:15:35 It's very interesting and you wonder what the next steps are. Like will there be any sort of action against him in Hollywood? This is going to hurt his career. Does he even have a career? I don't even know how much he cares about doing movies anymore, because he's not really doing them. And he seems more, his brand is about a tech investor.
Starting point is 00:15:51 And being cutting edge with some of the businesses he gets involved in. But look, he's got bigger aspirations for himself here. I think for making these types of comments, he's a visionary, he's smart. Maybe he's gonna get a little conversation going, but this is gonna hurt his career in Hollywood But I love what he said by the way fun fact about Ashen Kutcher
Starting point is 00:16:08 Demi Moore and Mila Kunis. He's the two women. He's been married to they both went to the same high school get out They both went to Hollywood high which is what are the odds right? That's incredible What's the last movie Kutcher made by the way? What's the last big movie he did? And that's a serious question You know what how about that one he did with Cameron D is when they went to Vegas and they got married. That was at least 15 years. That was 2008, I think. Okay, I'm doing so the so here we go. So we have a vengeance. He's doing self-production. Okay, the long home, it's a 2021 movie completed the ranch TV series, which he was on 26th into 2020. Family guy 2016, 20, half men, 2011 to 2015. Two and half men as well. He didn't have to do anything after that movie
Starting point is 00:16:48 that's what you see. I was a seriously changed job. Okay, made two more than any men at work. The last movie he did was jobs 2013. So this guy hasn't done movies for eight years 2013. 2013 movie. Yeah, not shows. The movie 2013. Yeah, I don't think he cares. I don't. I don't think he looks at himself as an actor number one anymore. Look, I'll give you my two cents on action culture. The guy has come a long way since, you know, being on the 70s show or even on punk. I, by the way, I love punk. Anyone in the audience who's watching, let us know if you love punk too.
Starting point is 00:17:18 I thought he killed it at that, but he hasn't done that a long time. Look, he's transition from being just a Hollywood guy. Dude, where's my car? I'm high shit on this 70 show. And to punking people to an actual Silicon Valley investor, big time entrepreneur, here's some of the companies that he's invested in. Uber, Airbnb, and he's all about acorns,
Starting point is 00:17:39 the investing app, which we've talked about from time to time. So he's built credibility in the business world. And clearly he don't give two shits about going against Hollywood or certainly going against China. And I get to give him props for actually calling out China.
Starting point is 00:17:55 And specifically, you know, in a roundabout way kind of agreeing with Trump here on what TikTok's influence or soft power, sneaky power, creeping it on the American youth may be happening. And China's disinformation campaigns. So bottom line, respect to Ash and Kutcher for what he's doing. Former model from Iowa, small town in Iowa too, by the way.
Starting point is 00:18:18 By the way, and while you look at this, this guy's, he calls himself a fiscally conservative socially liberal independent, but leans towards a democratic party as shown support to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and as a this tastes towards Republicans like Donald Trump so now here's here's like my gun again here's here's a question though here's a question this this goes back to this goes back to a conversation we once had Kai you look like you want to say something. Yeah, he also co-founded a company for against child trafficking. By the way, he spoke about a two Congress,
Starting point is 00:18:49 which went viral. He's been active on that. And that was a against human child trafficking that him and Demi more started together, I believe. This was yours ago. Well, think about it. If you're gonna marry a woman who's, I'm guessing, 15 years as senior, I'm guessing.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Demi? Yeah. You're gonna grow up a little bit. You're not gonna be just a goofy 30 year old kid, just kind of joking around because a lot of people didn't take their relationship seriously. It's exactly 15 years. She's 58 years, 49.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Got you. So you're gonna kind of grow up a little bit faster than a typical 30 year old whenever they got married. And you're gonna start tackling some real world issues. You're not gonna be out in the club parting like a typical 30 year old. You're hanging. And you're gonna start tackling some real world issues. You're not gonna be out in the club parting like a typical 30 year old. You're hanging with a grown ass woman, Demi Moore, one of the most gorgeous women's of all time,
Starting point is 00:19:31 in my opinion. And you're gonna grow up and you're gonna tackle some real life issues, i.e. child trafficking and investing and China. So again, respect to the question. Yeah, you know what, the companies that you mentioned that he invested and he got in early so he made unbelievable Killings in multiple
Starting point is 00:19:49 Investors guess is net worth 300 300 mil pbd Guess is not worth two fashion country's a 200 yeah, it's a 200 yeah, exactly Yeah, but I mean that gives you so much freedom when you've done that and you can have that platform He doesn't have to care he could fund his own movie if you wanted to do it There's a couple things I take away from this. Number one, number one, there's a movement happening within Hollywood, okay, who are not Republicans, who are not, who are not Democrats, but they're worried the fact that this thing could go to socialism, this thing can go to controlling what you could see and what you can't say, what movies you can't, you can't make. And it's him, Conor, not Conor, Matthew McConaughey, that are coming out, Matthew's talking about it.
Starting point is 00:20:25 It's common sense, common sense, independence like, listen, this is a little too much. And by the way, even if Bill Maher, but Bill Maher is still left though. Bill Maher is left, Bill Maher is not these guys. No, no, no, but common sense of the pro. You're right, absolutely, I totally agree. Bill Maher is a left guy that's kind of like,
Starting point is 00:20:41 what the hell are we doing? Exactly. Have you lost your mind? And by the way, you know who else doesn't agree with the hell are we doing? Exactly. Have you lost your mind? Exactly. And by the way, you know who else doesn't agree with the direction America is going right now that people would be surprised with? A guy named Barack Obama is not happy with the direction things are going right now. He himself was like, listen man, you know, kind of temperate down a little bit with the
Starting point is 00:20:56 social status. Even two names the other day, Sean Penn, very left this type of guy. Semi-socialist. Yes. Fan of Hugo Chavez, whatever call. And Conan O'Brien, you know, more of a common sense, jokes, but definitely the left. I think Conan's a center guy.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Yeah, well, yeah, but they both, they both called out the woke cancel culture out there. Look, we talk about us all the time, not to get too political here. Sometimes you need people on your team to basically say, look, I don't like what you're doing, rather than people on the other side calling you out. That's what's happening in Democratic Party, right? But here's what I would tell you.
Starting point is 00:21:31 This is the other part. This is the other part. This is the other part that people gonna have to argue and it's gonna favor one guy. I hate to say this, but it's gonna favor one guy. So just a few months ago, when Trump gave the speech at CPAC, and they were voter approval, people wanting them to run etc etc he was at 50% okay just this last week when he ran I think he was like he spoke to them I
Starting point is 00:21:52 think it was 76% and second place was the Sanctus 21% right so he went from 50 to 70 and the Sanctus 21 which they're talking about him and the Sanctus president VP type of thing to go out there and do it. Now, we'll see if that's gonna take place or not. Here's what I will tell you. So take Trump's name out. Let's take Trump's name out, okay. And you go look at his policies.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And you look at what his policies did. How many people on the left center and right are starting to realize, yes, he may have been a device of guy. Yes, he may have been a guy that was pinning everybody. You know, he was doing what he was doing, battling against the mainstream media, all the stuff that he was doing. But his policies made a lot of sense.
Starting point is 00:22:30 He called out TikTok, everybody disagreed. Now, Ashton, could you're saying that? He was handling the board very well. Now, we have issues at the board, they don't even want to touch it. We were doing okay with getting the vaccine to be expedited in nine months on how quickly he got a vaccine.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Fauci said it will take 18 months at the earliest to get it out. His sanctions against Cuba that he put on nine months ago, saying if Cuba doesn't get it together, the entire world is going to be free. We have to make sure the entire world is free. And we have to let go of those political prisoners that Cuba has. What do you think the Cuban people are right now protesting? Here's a point. I think there's a part of the current elections,
Starting point is 00:23:09 the process that we have that I don't agree with, and I don't know what it is. Here's one of the things. We vote more for personality than policies today. If we took out the personality, mainstream media couldn't do what they do. Let me explain. If all we said is, we have three things we're campaigning on.
Starting point is 00:23:31 This is A, this is B, this is C. Take away personalities. It's purely policies that we're campaigning on, right? Who do you bash? What do you bash? Who cares? The policies don't grab anybody by, you know what? Policies don't go out there and do what?
Starting point is 00:23:47 Sniffing somebody's hair with what Biden does, right? If you just put it on policies How do you trash the policies? You can't say a person you can't pin them to you just have to say that policy Just kind of make sense. I agree with that policy So there's no more the rage Emotionally against the personality you dislike because the media keeps talking about this guy's a bad guy, this guy's a bad guy, this guy's a bad guy. So I kind of like the fact that common sense of start to win a little bit because long term bad ideas get exposed and long term great ideas win. That's what's happening
Starting point is 00:24:19 to you. Here's the problem though. It's one thing to have these people at least call it out and reference it and acknowledge it. But how do you get to the next point where something actually happens because of it? They've just given way too much power to the far, far fringe left. They are letting them get away with anything they want, anything they say is not challenged. And that makes their job ten times more difficult. I think Trump should not run for president. I really, because don't you, he's so polarizing and people hate him so much. I don't, what for vice president? There's no chance.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Tom, I'll give you three seconds to reach out. But for the good of the country, no way. Support the Sanchez. No, by the way, no, it's either, it's either, being what President for Trump, no way. It's either a president or don't run again. He ain't doing no BPS up because he's already been out there as a firm. That'll never happen.
Starting point is 00:25:05 But if you truly care about the country, which he does, I mean, don't you think there's almost no chance for him to get elected? He definitely brings out the worst out of so many people in this country. Well, listen, I'm gonna announce something this week. I'm gonna announce something this week. If you see it on social, which you will,
Starting point is 00:25:18 if you see it on my Instagram, you will. We're gonna talk about it on the podcast next week. I'm gonna align something. What I think is gonna be a solution to help United America. The idea is going to be crazy. The idea is going to be nuts. I'm going to put a lot of money behind it. It's going to be public.
Starting point is 00:25:31 And you have to choose whether you want to see this thing become a reality or not. And when you do see it, if you agree with it, help spread the message everywhere once the announcement is made, I will be most likely making that announcement either this Friday or next Monday. Sometime this week or Monday that announcement is going to be made, you will be most likely making that announcement either this Friday or next Monday. Sometime this week or Monday that announcement is going to be made, you will be shell-shocked what the announcement is about. But if you do agree with it, I want to make sure the world hears about it. Going back to this, you know what's exciting about this?
Starting point is 00:25:57 The fact that people are voicing their opinions that they never would have. The fact that Hollywood is voicing their opinion, FYI, you know, you know, you know why people in Hollywood actors are no longer intimidated by Hollywood anymore, you know why? Let me tell you why, perfect transition into the story of Black Widow. Black Widow snags, $80 million from its theatrical debut, $60 million from Disney Plus, folks,
Starting point is 00:26:20 let me read that to you one more time. Black Widow, okay, out of the $80 million, $60 million is from Disney Plus. Black Widow has stolen the pandemic era box office crown, the latest Marvel film scored 80 million dollars at the domestic box office during its debut. The most of any film release in the wake of COVID epidemic over the weekend around 81% of the theaters
Starting point is 00:26:42 were open to the public according to the data of Comscore. Universal's F9, Fast and Furious 9, was the previous record holder getting $70 million over three-day launch into theaters last month. The film garnered an additional $60 million from Disney plus sales in addition to Black Widow, Tally, 78 million from International Ticket Sales. Here's what this means. Let me tell you why actors are no longer scared of hollywood here's why
Starting point is 00:27:08 uh... this is not the typical movie you know hollywood thing that you're doing netflix is coming right now they want askers they want academies they want grant grant you they want uh... whatever it is that go whatever they're giving away the words for best movies actors are sitting there saying listen and hollywood those days of a handful you guys have an all the power in the world we can push us around you can't do that anymore So whatever they're giving away the awards for best movies, actors are sitting there saying less than man, Hollywood. Those days of a handful, you guys have an all the power in the world, we can't push us around, you can't do that anymore.
Starting point is 00:27:28 You don't have that kind of authority anymore. The days were Weinstein pre, me too, movement. The days were Weinstein had everybody like strong holding and everybody, strong arm and everybody. You can't do that anymore today. So Hollywood actors are feeling a little bit more confident and liberated. Hollywood for the longest time was almost a dictatorship. Today, yesterday, I come, I get back to the office,
Starting point is 00:27:50 I was in a ruby land. I come to the office first thing in the morning, you know what's sitting on my table right now? You know what's sitting on my desk right now? A script. A guy sends me a message saying, I love what you're talking about with that, that, that, I got a script for you.
Starting point is 00:28:01 I'd love for you to invest into our script or buy our script from us. Sitting over there. We're starting to get more scripts than ever before. What does this mean? Person can have money, $110 million, $15 million, $25 million. I'm gonna do a movie. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And then you can go pitch it to who, others, rather than going and selling it to traditional Hollywood route. So I think the Ashton Kutcher's of the world and all these other guys are getting comfortable because you're seeing what happened with the black widow movie. Is it essentially? Stay on the watch the movie. No need to go to the movie theater.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Is it essentially becoming almost like a cryptocurrency type of decentralized platform? It's not just in Hollywood anymore. You got Disney Plus, you got Netflix, you got Amazon, you got the, you can go down the whole freaking list on the Hulu's and the this and that. That's actually great. And it's just not decentralized. Now the Harvey Weinstein's of the world to use your analogy don't control Hollywood anymore. You can voice with your lines. Well, the studio is a great thing for a lot of people. It's the studios that don't control Hollywood anymore.
Starting point is 00:28:51 And by the way, Barry Diller, one of the legends who ran two of them, what Paramount and Universal, I think, he said last week that the movie business is dead. He literally said, he said, going to the theater experience, the movie business is dead and it's never coming back. You agree with him? I 100% agree with him. And Netflix doesn't release streaming figures like this.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Disney to say 60 million, that's uncommon for them to actually release that, but that's unbelievable. I would never go to a movie theater again. I don't think I have no upside to going to a theater. You just went to a movie theater too. Who's got the time for it? Well, movie that I watch. I don't know, did you go to a movie theater? I mean, if I take the kid, we watch Fast on a Fury Center. Yeah upside to going to a theater. You just want to a movie to be there too. Who's got the time for it? Well, a movie that I watch. I don't know. Did you go to a movie theater?
Starting point is 00:29:26 I mean, if I take the kids, we watch Fast and a Furious Man. I give it a seven. It was actually a good movie. You give the nine to seven. No, I give the nine to seven. I give the nine to seven. I took the kids. I hate when that happens.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I took the nine and you wake up at seven. I accidentally took the kids to Mortal Kombat. I accidentally took the kids to Mortal Kombat. I tealed today. There's not a day when I bring up movies where they don't bring up Mortal Kombat. But you're the one that took us to Mortal Kombat, the worst movie of all time.
Starting point is 00:29:52 As I'm taking you to 50 movies, you've loved one of them to the kids that we've come up with. The last thing we need is Dylan and Tico fighting. We know we saw what happened earlier. They had one of the most epic fights of all time in the Ruba, and here's what happened. I'm not going to tell you the details of the fight, but that a pretty big fight because Dylan threw San and Tico's face accidentally, apparently accidentally, I wasn't there to witness
Starting point is 00:30:11 that Mario was. So I walk up because Mario's like you got to come here to the beach. Dylan's running off. It's pretty epic. Crazy stuff's going on with these guys. And you gotta realize, Ruba's a very calm place. The water has no waves. Like literally, there's no waves where we are. It does Ritz Carl Resort. I walk up and I go to the kids, I'm walking back, this husband and wife, good looking couple in their 50s, right? The kind that takes care of themselves, you know, she's wearing the two peas,
Starting point is 00:30:33 he's got the whole nice six back. They said, you're not gonna tell you, we love your boys. I said, really, tell me why. I said, for the last hour, all we've been following is what your boys have been doing. Your two sons, we can tell, those two are your sons, but the other two are not your sons, right? I said no, why is this because the other two are tonight?
Starting point is 00:30:53 And he says for one hour straight we've been following them and we love what they're doing the fighting the words All that stuff. Thank you so much for giving us entertainment. I said well, they take they take a hundred dollars tip from you Anyway, so we had a good time out there with the... Back to the, so they will not let the whole... They will not let the whole... They will not let the whole... The whole combat is done. Real quick, just a little thing to add.
Starting point is 00:31:12 You're talking about the movie studios, Paramount and... Universal? And Universal, but it wasn't, it didn't Amazon just buy MGM. Yeah. Okay, so there's another further example. But they did it just for more content in their library. Okay, there you go. Here's how, I don's how I don't go to the movie theaters like, period, I think the last one I went to is like,
Starting point is 00:31:30 I took my ex-girl to go see Winnie the Pooh, like back in the like three years ago. Yeah, who you date? Oh yeah. She was 25, but you know, she probably acted like she was five. However, this is how Adela Taja is. Listen, by the way, she's not listening. She's listening, she DMs me every time.
Starting point is 00:31:44 She's got me blocking and she's got me block What was the best part of when he got his head stuck in the honey jar You got your hand gone the cooking jar stuck in the honey jar. Oh yeah. You got your hand gone, the cooking jar. Anyway, here's how to, how to talk. You're a high roller when you take your girl to Winnie the Pooh.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Hey, by the way, you know, to defend you more on the hot best. I'm actually pretty more on the hot best. I spend more on food than on movie tickets. By the way, that story is actually gets you closer to soy boy than further away. Yeah. I was wondering what you know about that.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Here's my point. Let me finish my point and then I'm going to, this is how out of touch I am with movies. When I hear this story, Black Widow grosses $80 million. I'm thinking, oh out out of touch I am with movies when I when I hear this story black widow gross is $80 million I'm thinking oh shit they came out with like the female version of the black Panther and then I look it up and it's freaking white girl Scarlett Johansson the black widow. I'm surprised that's not cancel culture yet.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Yeah, I'm just telling you stop it. I don't give a shit. I'm just saying I'm surprised that there's people out there being like black widow. White ass Scarlett Johansson. What going on folks? If you're listening to this Adam's not going Adam thinks Adam thinks if you don't know This already or not Adam thinks fast and the furies is a continuation of night writer That's how old school love King King David has love love that night by the way you should show the poster you have in your office of David Hasselhoff,
Starting point is 00:33:05 a night writer. They should see it. I don't think people will notice it. It's not a night writer, it's the Baywatch one. It's the Baywatch one. Sure. David Hasselhoff, he's got it. Okay, all right, so Ashton Kutcher Kudos to you.
Starting point is 00:33:14 By the way, if you agree with Ashton Kutcher, put a thumbs up. One, it gives us an idea if you do agree with him or not. Two, helps us out with algorithms. And if you like the direction the content's going, we are 33, that we're officially at 67,000 subs. We're 33,000 subs away from 100,000. Once we hit 100,000, we make convert to three times a week
Starting point is 00:33:33 and set it two times a week. So give us a sub as well if you enjoyed the podcast. Oh shit, we're getting that. Yeah, we're getting close to it. We're getting close to it. All right, let's continue. Let's go to another story. You time, I'm gonna give you a story.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Let's finish up the Conor McGurger story and while we're doing this guy Can you tell me folks from Cuba contacted you on community go check community folks if you're from Cuba You live there in the last five to ten years and you and your family escape Cuba to come to America We would like to get optics from you on what it was like to live in Cuba And why you're so happy to be in America. What does freedom really mean to you? Haven't left a place like Cuba to come to the state so your boy is Marvin from Kibin. No, he's Marvin's Honduras Marvin's I apologize to my Honduran just with him. We had one the best conversations ever. Okay. All right, let's go so UFC 264
Starting point is 00:34:18 Real or not the old Conor McGregor is gone forever Dustin Portiers a top-light heavyweight the UFC's The old Conor McGregor is gone forever. Dustin Portier is a top light heavyweight. The UFC's 264 main event only lasted one round, but Dustin did plenty in his victory over Conor to prove he deserves the first title shot at Charles Oliveira is poor year already the best lightweight in the world. As for Conor McGregor, the misstep that caused
Starting point is 00:34:37 the serious leg injury brought the fight to an abrupt end is an elite version of Conor, a thing of the past. And where does he go from here? Kai, can you pull up a Grover's Instagram post about Connor? Everybody must read this. By the way, shout out to Tim. He just sent me three nice Air Jordan shoes.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Each one of them. Six shoes, he sent them. Like Michael's from the... By his book just became a New York Times best seller. Sick book, if you haven't ordered, you ought to do it. Okay, when Connor McGregor lost to Cabeep, he was exposed by the limelight and has never found his way back to the true darkness
Starting point is 00:35:10 that had allowed him to win. Winning one except this version of Conor because this Conor still thinks and acts like he's winning and winning knows he is not. Let me read that one more time. Winning won't accept this version of Conor because this Conor still thinks and acts like he's winning and winning knows he's not.
Starting point is 00:35:28 This loss to Dustin is about so much more than an injury. If you've read winning, you get this. He hasn't taken that necessary bus right back to hell. Winners know that in order to repeat, they have to get on that bus, along with all their demons and monsters and skeletons asking, now what? Connor can't answer them because that bus ride needs to be taken in silence.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Winning requires real talk or no talk at all. The only thing you hear are the silencing of your heartbeat and the shortening of your breath as you approach hell. You have no choice. You can either commit to taking the bus ride to hell and fight your way back to winning or hell will come for you anyway. Snatch your heart out of your chest
Starting point is 00:36:13 and make you watch it stop as you take your last breath and you lose forever. That's the difference between taking yourself to hell and hell taking you. One, you can control, the other you are done. More in winning, read it. There the other you are done, more in winning, read it, there you go. Thoughts, Conor.
Starting point is 00:36:28 I mean, dude, this guy's got credibility galore because this is exactly what Michael Jordan did, you're in and you're out. I mean, this is what Tim Grove is doing for, working with MJ. What do you think it's Conor Dundee? Do you think Conor's done? Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:39 As an elite MMA fighter, there's absolutely no question. You cannot even make the argument that he's not. It's impossible to make that argument. I think Daniel White has a real problem because he doesn't really have a stable of stars outside of Conor McGregor. That's why they keep doing what they're doing. I mean, have you guys ever been to a live UFC fight? Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:58 I mean, the energy is just simply off the charts. I've been to two title fights in Vegas. Absolutely. Which part? What my friend is Ryan Bader. So he fought twice. Once he fought John Jones and then he fought, or T. He lost. He lost both of those, unfortunately, but he's doing great in Belitator.
Starting point is 00:37:12 But Dana White has a problem. He doesn't have any stars. Now, it's not going to hurt the business. They just brought in $175 million from a crypto company for their biggest sponsorship. Ever last week. But you know what? Connor McGregor is the next, wait for it. Ronda Rousley. It's all he is right now. He's nothing more. He's nothing more than that. His next
Starting point is 00:37:29 next. I bigger than Ronda. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, he in the MMA. He's not. His next fight is going to be against Jake Paul, because it'll be for nine figures easy. Dana White will eventually get behind it and have to promote him. I think that's why he keeps some relevant in in UFC so he can say. That's not a Jake Paul. But you know what? That's the have to promote him. I think that's why he keeps him relevant in UFC so we can say. That's not a dip call. But you know what? That's the one I'd watch. I'm not interested in watching Connor fight in the UFC anymore.
Starting point is 00:37:52 He's not at that level. He's not at the elite level. Yeah, it's funny. You brought up something last week when you said, look, if there's ever a time that Dana White makes a phone call, the Dustin Porje and says, look, here's a couple of bucks. Take this hit. That clearly didn't happen. He didn't get that phone call, the Dustin Porje and says, look, here's a couple bucks, take this hit. That clearly didn't happen. He didn't get that phone call. Well, first of all, I liked the approach Connor took with the fight.
Starting point is 00:38:11 He started with the kicks. I liked the way he started the fight. But the moment he went on the ground, Jrad was saying this yesterday, this guy, to learn how to wrestle and be on the ground, I mean, you have to learn how to get out of it. For four minutes, he was stuck, and Dustin wasn't even pounding this guy. He wasn't even distraught, but what happens when you're down there
Starting point is 00:38:29 is you're gonna lose all the stamina. You can't last, when you get the moment he got up, the last 15 seconds. I don't know if you saw that or not. The 15 seconds when he got up, did you see his energy? Did you see like, he was, he was done. Like, he didn't have the energy anymore, which means stamina's a problem.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I told the guys by prediction was if Connor wins, he wins in the first round. If it goes past first round, Dustin wins. No question. If he wouldn't have broken his leg, let his ankle. Say that wouldn't have happened to his ankle. I think we got the shit kicked out of him in rounds. Oh, it would have been done in a separate round.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Yeah, it's even worse and he's bloodied. I'm bloodied. But you know what, his strength, his success came from his feet. So if he can't have that as a weapon anymore, I mean, he's broken his like twice now with kicks. So I mean, his number one strength has come in completely neutered from him. So there's no way he could beat at that level because he's not a boxer or a wrestler.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Let me tell you something. You brought up a good point here that I don't know where UFC goes from here because I would, I would, I would call myself a casual fan, meaning I don't know much about UFC, but if Connor McGregor's fighting, I'm gonna watch it. Now without Connor, I don't know who I would give two shits about. I don't think so much. I'm just saying, me, I wouldn't go watch.
Starting point is 00:39:36 But let me tell you what, not best of it. Billy McGillic, I don't care. But you're gonna watch. No, not. I promise you're gonna watch. Let me tell you why you're gonna watch. Here's why you're gonna watch. Here's why you're gonna watch okay
Starting point is 00:39:45 Never underestimate the power of a Dana white. What are we talking about here? Like when when Dana had a couple guy step away you forget who stepped away like you want to go back and look at the list of play Put down the greatest UFC fighters of all time. Can you put them? I've just put the greatest UFC fighters of all time. I don't know where you're going with this. Let me know. Nobody's even close to drawing what Connor does. Listen, but I'm, I'm, I'm waiting to listen. Stop, stop. Go greatest UFC fighters all time. When Kabeebe stepped away, they said it's over. Who's gonna watch it? Okay. Keep going up. Keep going up. I didn't even heard of Kabeebe. But that's the point. Roy Screcy. Keep going. These are, these are all killers. Keep going. Keep going up. Keep going up
Starting point is 00:40:21 with these names. Keep going up with these names. Keep going. Keep going up. Keep regular. Never heard of these names. But Anderson with these names keep going keep going up keep going up keep regularly. Never heard of these names. Top five. Anderson Silva go to top five. Usman is still in the game. You got a ladel. I know when they step away.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I've been relevant 10 years. I know when they step away. They said the league is the the UFC is going to be boring. Keep going keep going keep going keep going. Seven six. Kabib's gone. Kormir's gone. A lot of these guys.
Starting point is 00:40:44 George St. Pierre was like, God's a good boy. But what I'm trying to tell you is the franchise keeps getting bigger and bigger. Anderson Silva was a God, John Jones God. This guy's had God's, John Jones would come in in the press conference with not the other guy out in press conference.
Starting point is 00:41:00 I mean, you're talking about guys that sold out arenas where people would come from around, you got a bank on Dana, but this is about Connor, right? That's not about Dana. Listen, I'm a buying whole guy with Connor. I bought his best card. This is his rookie 2013 tops. UFC Bloodlines, PSA 10, Jemint and Otto 10.
Starting point is 00:41:18 This is Connor. I'm a buying whole guy. The only thing that concerns me about Connor is when he plays the spouse in the religion game. You cannot do that. You become a target. You cannot play that game. I understand, like, Ronda Rousey sent a message right afterwards. I don't know if you guys saw what Ronda said about him right afterwards. Can you pull up Ronda's tweet right afterwards towards Connor? Did you guys read that on? I didn't see it. So Ronda said this about Connor the next, just pull it up. Let's see. Yeah, pull up
Starting point is 00:41:42 I can't read the next, just pull it up. Let's see, yeah, pull up. Is it this one? Okay. So I'm amazed that as soon as you hit the ground, you were already promoting the next fight, I definitely wouldn't have had that in mind to do that. The other fighters UFC and the media are lucky to have you. I disagree.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Everybody in the world is lucky to have a connoble gregar. Everybody is lucky to have connoble gregar. But to have that mindset, will you drop? First thing you're thinking about is a next fight. Are you a promoter or a fighter? I don't know. Are you still promoting to make money? Are you? So my mind goes to a couple different places. Here's a couple different places that go to a conner. Some guy right now commented and says, he's not gone. Somebody said, let me read who it was. He says, Scott Smith gave 10 bucks and so I'll make the argument. Conner was dominating their second bout. Connor looked amazing in the third bout.
Starting point is 00:42:29 I don't know about that. Maybe in the first 90 seconds, but the moment he was down, he was gone. Conor ain't done. He was gearin' up to take Pacquiao. Okay, I agree. Here's a problem, Scott. And it's my opinion, amateur opinion. Somebody can destroy my argument, but this is my argument. When I was talking to Tim Grover, here's what Tim Grover said. an amateur opinion. Somebody can destroy my argument, but this is my argument. When I was talking to Tim Grover, here's what Tim Grover said. Tim is a training Jordan.
Starting point is 00:42:52 And when he's training Jordan, Jordan decides to go out there and play baseball. So I want to go play baseball. Tim says, the entire conditioning has officially changed. This is what he means. He says to prepare your body for baseball, it's very different than preparing your body for basketball. It's a very different conditioning and it's gonna take a while to do that. What's the point? To prepare
Starting point is 00:43:13 a conditioning for boxing, Pacquiao is very different than to prepare a fight in UFC. Boxing, you ain't going to the ground. Everybody knows Conor's a great boxer but his ground game is not the best. Everybody knows Conor's a great boxer, but his ground game is not the best. You're going against guys where you have to spend majority of time working in areas where you don't do well with. Let's tell what happened with this guy. He's been choked out. He's been cabip got him on the ground. He doesn't do well on the ground. Once he didn't want to go down when he bid DS how did it be DS first fight he lost he went to the ground second fight if you see that one scene I don't know if
Starting point is 00:43:49 you guys remember this with DS they're going at his punch and DS he falls down he punch him second time he fall remember that he punches when he falls down and DS like come on come on come get me Connor standing up he's not going that message tells you you come to the ground I'm going to destroy and connoisseurs, I know I'm not good there, but I'm good at stand up. So stand up game he's got, but if you're going against some of these other guys, let me make a point.
Starting point is 00:44:14 I'm gonna ask you a question. One through 10, 10 being the most, one being I don't give a shit. Here we go. Where are you on a, being a fan of UFC? I'm a fan. We're number. Eight and a half. You're an eight and a half, Thomas. I'm a 6.5. Here of UFC? I'm a fan. What number? Eight and a half.
Starting point is 00:44:27 You're an eight and a half, tell him who you. I'm a six point five. You're a six, I'm a five. And I go for the stars. Okay, meaning, guy like you who's an eight and a half and nine and 10, they're gonna watch UFC regardless. Six and a half, maybe you're gonna watch, maybe not. A five, I'm only watching if a guy
Starting point is 00:44:43 like Connor McGregor is fighting. If Pick a name is fighting pick a name. Dude, I never even heard of Kabeeb until like a year ago. They know why it doesn't give a shit to have a fan like you. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? He does. He does. The conversation isn't about Dana. Why are you talking about a fan? Out of your mind. Dude, let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. You want a simple question? How much money have you ever made for UFC? You like 50 bucks.
Starting point is 00:45:10 When was it? I bought one fight with Connor. Okay. There you have a made him shit. So who cares if he loses you? You got I bought. No, you don't mean anything to day no wrong approach. You're not a spender. That's a wrong approach. It's not the wrong approach. Okay. I hear you on that. You're not a spender. You're not a guy that's bringing revenues to the brand That's like David Stern when he was promoting the NBA being like we don't need to expand we have our base They love the NBA. They're buying season. I was in a white But then he invested in Jordan but invested in hours. You're making an investment in shack and Kobe You're making a mistake in comparing Dana to freaking David some. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:45:42 I'm just saying do you know what part of the level? Do you know what part of the world UFC's fighting? Can you pull up different countries UFC has had to fight it? Give me a, what you just said right there was ludicrous, says you know nothing about what's going on with UFC. I'm just saying, what do you want country for coming? What are you talking about? You're not a spender though,
Starting point is 00:46:00 you're irrelevant to UFC. That's not, you're only thinking of as a monetization. What are you talking about? You are irrelevant to UFC. Oh, that your only thinking of you as a monetization. Well, I'm talking about you. You are irrelevant to UFC. Oh, that's it, Dana White. Me and you are done. You are irrelevant to UFC.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Here we go. You ready? Okay. US, Brazil, Canada, UK, Australia, Japan, China, Germany, Sweden, Mexico, Ireland, Singapore, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Argentina, Chile, Croatia. Do you want me to keep going? This guy'sising global brand.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Well, they built an island. You've been down a white, you woke up saying, I better get Adam Sossi as a fan. That's a digger, digger, digger, digger right now. Oh my gosh. You're not going to get a... Oh, how the hell can we get this? Go back to watching winning the board.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Stick to your winning to prove fight. You know what, this was good. They should sanction. I'd watch two rounds of this. I pay 50 bucks for you to continue on. Let's throw. The question isn't about Dana White. He's the best commissioner in sports. As a matter of fact, I'd make the argument that he should be agree with you. He should do a two-year term in every sport and fix every sport while he's at it. By the way, I spent a couple hours with Dana
Starting point is 00:46:57 White one time, flew up, hung out with him in his office, did this long interview with him. His office, I may have mentioned this before, it is the you can tell tell there's no HR department at UFC when you walk into Dana White's office. It is flat out unbelievable what you see in there. But let me bring this back to the topic. And you two are both delusional. And so is everybody else that said Connor McGregor is relevant as a UFC fighter. A number one, there's no sport where hunger controls everything. If you're not hungry, you are dead. Or seriously injured in UFC, you are completely irrelevant. And you have no chance to fight at the highest level.
Starting point is 00:47:32 What does he give it? You, in his mind, part of it's going, I hope this ends soon, I hope I don't get hurt. He's not the, he's not the same guy. He is not the same guy as a fighter. That doesn't mean he isn't one of the top global stars in the country and he's not gonna be relevant forever. He's Elvis and it is just as a fighter. I want to he isn't one of the top global stars in the country and he's not going to be relevant forever. He's Elvis in a jump suit as a fight.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I know I am right on this one. Because if we were talking about any other fighter other than Connor, this story would have been done. You guys have lost your mind. Other than Connor, I got no one gives a shit. You've lost your mind. No, I'm out of control. Let me ask you a question.
Starting point is 00:48:02 I'll watch if the dust in the diamond pour a actually fights dust diamond from St. By the belt. Let me rest a good. Let me ask you a question. I watch if the dust in the diamond pouring actually fights dust diamond from St. By the Bell. Let me rest in peace. Let me, let me put it on this way. Shout out to Screech. I miss you, buddy. Let me put it to you this way. Let me put it to you this way.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Any game that is very good with their number ones is going to have people that are going to work like dogs. They're going to work like military work, like I'm talking work work to go be number once because they take care of number ones. UFC may not be an organization that's known for taking care of their number 80, or their number 40. We know the criticism Jake Paul goes after
Starting point is 00:48:35 and a lot of people have been saying what they've been saying about the fact that a lot of the athletes are not making money, but if there's one thing UFC is known for is what? They take care of their number ones. Their number ones are gonna make a lot of money, right? You know how many people right now are sitting is known for is what they take care to number one their number one is going to make a lot of money right you know how many people right now are sitting there this is what they're thinking how many people right now are saying that position for number one is wide open I'm going to go get it same
Starting point is 00:48:54 thing happens to great sports when Jordan left who's going to replace Jordan Kobe came Kobe love who's going to put Lebron Lebron's I was yes look what's going on right now with Janice Janice to one they're down but he's got 40 points back to back. The last time a walk, he bought the one in 1971. Oh, by the way, I just thought of something. What's that? The guy, I couldn't even tell his name. Two-a-tia, t-t-t-taka, t-taka.
Starting point is 00:49:14 He knocked the shit out of Greg Hardy, and he drank a beer out of a shoe. I'm in on that guy. Okay, who's that guy? Who's that guy? Well, you spend 20 bucks on that guy? I can save that money, however. What's that guy's name? I have to customer. I know It doesn't matter. What's it? What's his name? P.V.D. What's his name? Nobody knows his name exactly nobody knows
Starting point is 00:49:32 Assassin but I do out of your mind are you insinuating that there is me and you we each take a tennis shoe We chug a beer for well donate the money to charity first of all if you're watching this if you're watching this if you're watching this I'm actually curious. Let's see what the audience can let me actually look at the ratio Let me actually look at the ratio. So right now we got 390 thumbs up to seven thumbs down. Okay How many of you think that Conor is not done put thumbs up Conor's not done as an elite fighter As an elite listen as an elite fighter He's gonna come back and he's gonna put on a fight and he's gonna win again And maybe even have a shout out a title fight. He's 32 years old today
Starting point is 00:50:07 How many guys think he's gonna make a comeback put thumbs up if you think he's gonna make a comeback and Redeem himself thumbs up if you say the guys done its retirement time put thumbs down What do you think on which one it is? me Last week when the fight took place I commented I I said the fan base is lucky to have a guy like this who's seeing a fight at his peak. And we've been talking about Conor. The moment he got that $200 million payday from
Starting point is 00:50:32 proper 12, it's a different Conor. If he's not willing to listen to a guy like Tim what he just said and going to that place to want to fight again, we ain't gonna see the best. The best days of Conor are behind him. If he does go to that dark place and really want to come back and make a comeback and redeem himself, we may see, I don't know how you see it right now. Let's see what the ratios are.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Quick comments when you're ready. Number one, the guy's name that I didn't know was Ty Tivasa. Okay. That's number one. Number two. In case we want to write this down, where did that go? Where did that go, where did that go? The guy who said he's 41 years old and he moved from Cuba when he was seven years old, I'm looking for your comment. What number should he call it? That's the guy you want to talk to.
Starting point is 00:51:16 You have it, okay. Oh, you have that guy. By the way, the guy old was he when he moved? Seven years ago, he was 18 weeks old. Okay, good. And shout out to Tom Zener. They said, these are my three favorite combo, Pat Adam and Tom.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Thanks, Crypto Mike. Shout out to Tom Zenner right there. Okay, thank you. Hey, by the way, the guy had some great comments is Kabib after this fight. And he broke it down and said, hey, this is who Connor is. When, you know, when he was on the ground,
Starting point is 00:51:38 no, there are TMZ had a story where there was a side angle of a camera where he was actually threatened to kill poor A's wife and him. He's going to shoot him in the head in the middle of that. He can't do that. So Kapi's point is this guy is nothing but a low rent punk. You know, his true colors. What does the call them?
Starting point is 00:51:54 He says this guy's a flutter bag. Dorked. Yeah. He said he's a dorked bag. Now, these guys have legitimate hate for him. And the last thing that Connor McGregor wants to do a step in a ring with Kapi, when he threw that stanchion at the bus in Brooklyn or a New York City at Madison Square But you know what in Conor's mind it's all promotion and I think everything is on the table when it comes to him
Starting point is 00:52:13 Everything and that's why the next step for him has to be an event that he can actually win He has no chance of winning a UFC fight unless he's fighting a guy like Serone or cowboy the guy the last guy he beats But that's who he can beat a UFC fight, unless he's fighting a guy like Sarone or cowboy, the guy the last guy he beats. But that's not who he can beat. You'd be that guy like three seconds. The ratio is, believe it or not, the ratios is 53 thing, he can come back and have a title fight. 35 thing he's done, which means a lot of people are saying the best days of Connor are behind
Starting point is 00:52:41 them and we may never see. Now the way, I don't know if it's something we can pull up. I'd like to see the numbers pay-per-view revenue with Connor, without Connor. I bet you it's a complete different story. Sure it is. Okay, sure it is. But there is a guy that you keep forgetting about.
Starting point is 00:52:55 You keep forgetting about the guy at the top. I know what. Who is he's not forgetting about? He's one of the greatest promoters, instigators of all time. The guy's going to figure out a way to do it. FYI. I think there's only one Connor though, bro.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Oh my gosh, stop. He's that brilliant of a marker. You know what, let me tell you something. I wonder what it is. You feel it, you feel it. I wonder what it is. Pat, you're full, try it. One of the things I respect about what Michael said.
Starting point is 00:53:19 When Michael was coming up and he was retiring and he was done. And a LeBron comes into the league and they ask him about Jersey. Why you were number six six why don't you wear number 23 and all this stuff. And LeBron said, I think we should retire at number 23 nobody should ever wear it again. Remember what Michael said? Michael said the NBA is bigger than one player. He says I appreciate the compliment but the NBA is bigger than me. It's a bigger franchise than I am. It's going to continue. What does LeBron do? He goes and wears number 23 right right afterwards. Okay, I'm going to wear 20. By the way, he's changing again for next year. I'm not. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to decide who I am. It's going to continue. What does LeBron do? He goes on, where is number 23? Right after.
Starting point is 00:53:46 I'm going to wear 20. By the way, he's changing again for next year. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying that the Conor gets eyeballs, and there's no one even close. That's my only point. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:53:56 I don't think I debate that, but we'll see. Okay. Do we have our friend there from Cuba? Yeah. He's on the phone. Is he on the phone already or no? I don't have the phone. Where's the phone?
Starting point is 00:54:04 To your left. To my left. To my left. To my no. I don't have the phone. Where's the phone to my left my phone? To my oh right here. Let's see is he on there already or no Watch that how old is he 41 Oh, it's a different guy that I saw David Corral. Where is David Corral? Do we know where he's David were you based out of? Where are you based out of? Where are you based out of? I'm texting them right now. David, if you're listening to me,
Starting point is 00:54:31 where are you based out of? Are you Florida based? Where are you based out of? I mean, we're gonna read a lot of the stuff that's going on Q-Band and I'll come to David. I like to get two people, two different people's perspective. Is he the only one that we have where we have a couple of them? West Palm Beach, okay, sounds good.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Do we have another one as well? Look at the two and I'll come to you, David, thank you, he's from West Palm Beach. Let me read you what's going on with Cuba. Let me read you what's going on with Cuba and I will go from there. Go to page eight, we have a lot. I got three stories to read.
Starting point is 00:54:56 I don't know if I'm gonna read all three at the same time, but I got three stories to read. Okay, so let's go on to it. So number one, a New York Post story. Cubans take the streets in massive anti-government protests. Thousands of Cubans took the streets Sunday in protests of the country's food shortages and high prices, am a the coronavirus pandemic.
Starting point is 00:55:14 In the anti-government protests in the capital of Havana, lasted about two and a half hours before it was broken up. When a few protesters toss cobblestones at police leading to several arrests, we are fed up with the cues and shortages. That's why I'm here. One middle-aged protestor said, the Communist Party is suffering from its worst economic crisis in decades, and has recently seen a surge in coronavirus cases.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Cuba, President Miguel Diaz Canal undermined Sunday's demonstrations while visiting the small town of San Antonio de los Banos, which has been plagued by power shortages. I'm going to continue. The next story is from the independent. Cuba protest spread to Miami as President threatens battles in the streets. By the way, I landed in Miami last night. Okay. When I was in what he called it, Miami airport, when this was happening, MIA. Everybody, traffic was the worst I've ever seen. Flags everywhere, honking the horn. You see it all over the place, right?
Starting point is 00:56:11 Well, the Miami airport is just outside of Little Havana. Of course, 45 minutes away, yeah. So thousands of Miami joint protests and solidarity with the Cuban people rallying against the government because of food and vaccines shortage and rising prices. Cubes and the thousands also protest on Sunday against the government of president, Communist Party, we know that.
Starting point is 00:56:27 The country is also struggling with the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration after President Barack Obama tried to normalize relations with the country. Sunday's protest was won the biggest anti-government demonstrations and memory that Associated Press writes. And the last story I'll write
Starting point is 00:56:40 read as the following. Cubans denounced misery in the biggest protests and decades. The rallies widely viewed as astonishing for a country that limits this end. We're set up by economic crisis, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, so here's, here's a New York Times tweet. Can you pull up the New York Times tweet? Pull up the New York Times tweet, which to me it's very, very, very confox. I don't know if you saw this or not.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Did you see the New York Times tweet? No, I like to see it though. Here's a New York Times tweet. Here's a New York Times tweet. Tell me what you think about this. Shouting freedom and other anti-government slogans. Let me read that to you again. Shouting freedom and other anti-government slogans.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Hundreds of Cubans took the streets and the cities around the country on Sunday to protest food and medicine shortages and a remarkable eruption of this content non-syn and nearly 30 years. Let me, proper English. I'm Middle Eastern. English is my fifth language. So I took EFL, not even ESL,
Starting point is 00:57:29 because ESL is second language. EFL is fifth language, right? Okay. Never gonna hurt it that. I have any there. Shouting freedom and other anti-government slogans. Yeah. Does that mean the word freedom is a form of an anti-government slogan? Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Is that how I'm reading it? You're reading it 100% right? English off. No, you're correct. So New York at the same time. The same freedom is an anti-government slogan. That's what they're saying. Of course, that's what they're saying. Yes. Well, the other thing that they were shouting for the roof, they were saying, Libertad, Libertad, have you ever seen Scarface? Yeah. That's what they're shouting. No, the only thing, and the other thing they were saying was, we are not afraid. We are not afraid. Freedom, freedom, freedom.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Yeah, but what I'm asking you, come on. I'm saying yes, the answer is yes. Now, the only thing open to us, freedom being anti-government. Well, the only thing open to interpretation is, are they referencing Cuba, where it's a communist country and freedom does mean anti-government, or is that the New York Times philosophy in general?
Starting point is 00:58:24 Because that is not an act. Every word is thought out very, very clearly through there, okay? Well, so on. What's your point with that, Pat? I'm feeling you're saying. He's saying the New York Times is saying freedom is anti-government and that they're going to transpose that same thought process here, which is what essentially they're doing. Yeah, I mean, New York Times is saying the word freedom is anti-government. Anti-cuban government. No, no, no, no, freedom is anti-government. Anti-cuban government. No, no, no, no, no. And other anti-government slogans, the word freedom
Starting point is 00:58:51 is an anti-government slogan. Since when has the word freedom been a bad word to use? You know, since when has that been like, hey, any of these stuff like today, if you today, watch this, your question for you. If today you see somebody with a truck with an american flag on automatically are they democrats are republicans republican why why they they're more patriotic but why though i'm confused i've got to ask myself that same
Starting point is 00:59:18 question why get that being democrat is somehow seen as less patriotic yeah but what i'm trying to tell you is democrats are afraid to carry their flags because when you drive that like when when you drive that a house if you see an american flag most people are going to say that houses what to republican house why though why are republicans proud to represent their flag as a democrats cannot represent their flag because why is that why is it patriotic to say freedom is good why is Because why is that? Why is it patriotic to say freedom is good? Why is it such an offensive word now?
Starting point is 00:59:48 There's that New York Times who's got the kind of influence they got to say, hey, freedom is an anti-government slogan. What are you talking about? What are we talking about here? I escaped Iran to be here for what? For freedom. You know when I was in Germany at a refugee camp,
Starting point is 01:00:02 you know who was there? People from Albania, people from Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia doesn't even exist today. Yugoslavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, now it's not even Czechoslovakia, Czechoslovakia, all these other places. Love countries that were under Soviet regime. And we were all there, we all had one in common. We were begging for freedom.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Everybody was afraid to claim their religion. Everybody was afraid to voice, everybody was afraid. Everybody wanted this thing called freedom. And today freedom is an anti-government slogan. Wow. You know, two weeks ago in the podcast, we were talking about CNN celebrating China's 100-Year anniversary of communism.
Starting point is 01:00:38 And this ties in with what I'm gonna ask you right now. You look at CNN, you look at the New York Times. They're, you know, it's Donald Trump used to say they're failing, right? The failing New York Times, but CNN's rating speak for themselves. You cannot have a 40% dip in your ratings and not have some sort of economic disaster with a company, they go hand in hand.
Starting point is 01:00:57 So are they being secretly funded by China? I mean, is that where the revenue gap is coming from? Cuba, the government. No, I'm talking about liberal media outlets. I'm just wondering, is there a pipeline? Cuba is from the right China. Just so you know, Cuba is funded by China. China has a chokehold on Cuba.
Starting point is 01:01:14 There is a power of China coming into use Cuba as a platform to that is already one of their chest moves that they're playing. Yeah, exactly what they do. So, let me ask you, because maybe I, do you have two instead of one, I need two. I need somebody in their late thirties and somebody in their 20s to give me two perspectives.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Maybe I'm just not understanding this, okay? But in my opinion, and I could be wrong, you're gonna probably teach me something as someone who basically had their freedom or rights taken away in Iran, shouting freedom, libertat, or against the government in Cuba, anti-government, anti-communist regimes. Why is that a bad thing?
Starting point is 01:01:54 I'm not understanding the, whether this was the New York Times, New York Post, Washington Post. I'm not understanding that. Why is it a bad thing? What's shouting freedom while you're under the communist regime is not a bad thing? I don't think it is. What I'm saying is a bad thing. The fact that New York Times categorically puts the word freedom as an anti-government slogan.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Anti-cuban government. It's that anti-government slogan. But they're talking about Cuba. It's not about what do you mean they're talking about Cuba? It's that anti-cuban. It's that's the whole story is about Cuba. Let me ask you, let me ask you, bring that tweet back up. Are you sincerely telling me, you don't see messaging in the title, you don't see any, you don't read into the message. I do, that's why I asked the question to you to inform me.
Starting point is 01:02:37 Well then, I'm thinking, shouting freedom and other government slogans, hundreds of Cubans took to the streets. So I'm thinking this is a Cuban story. I'm not reading it to it. I get that. You know what they could have done? They could have done, they could have done shouting
Starting point is 01:02:51 many other things, but saying freedom and other anti-government slogans, other anti-government slogans, what is wrong with shouting freedom? Nothing. But New York Times is calling that an anti-government slogan. But it is an anti-government slogan in Cuba. You cannot, it's okay.
Starting point is 01:03:07 So in New York Times, let me ask you a question. Let me ask a question. Is New York Times anti-government or pro-government? I guess they're pro-government, you guys are. Yes, they're pro-government. What do you mean you guess they're pro-government? I don't have like the strong opinion on New York Times. I think this is a story about Cuba.
Starting point is 01:03:24 I'm not reading into it. Oh, buddy. That's the problem. That's the problem. That's why I asked the question. I'm not reading into it first. That's the problem with the fact that you don't realize the power of wordsmithing.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Let me tell you, there was a movie called Flash of Genius. You ever seen a movie Flash of Genius? It's the story about the intermittent, what do you call it, windshield wiper. The guy that invents the intermittent windshield wiper. If you've never seen this, you've got to watch this movie. Okay, he's invented, he goes, presents us to Ford, Ford steals it from him. They say, he didn't come up with it, we came up with it.
Starting point is 01:03:57 He shows it to Chrysler, Ford to everybody. They take it, he gets nothing for it. He goes against them for years, loses his marriage, loses his kids, loses everything. Eventually, years later, he gets paid $28 million. And everybody had to officially say that this man invented the intermittent windshield wiper. He represents himself because he has no money. He's so broke. And he gets up there. And he says, Ford says to create the intermittent, to what he call it, windshield wiper.
Starting point is 01:04:28 All you need is four pieces. You need this, you need this, you need that, you need this. Meaning Ford's trying to say, it's not a big deal, he didn't invent anything unique. He says, you're right, but I got a question for you. I'm gonna use a few words. Tell me if you've ever used these words in your vocabulary. You ever use the word success? Yes. You ever use the word success?
Starting point is 01:04:46 Yes. You ever use the word high? Yes. You ever use the word happy? You ever use the word the. You ever use the word there? Like, yeah, where you going with this? He says, how come you never wrote a best-selling book
Starting point is 01:05:02 just like he puts the book up? Which is the all-time best-selling book of all like he puts the book up, which is the all-time best-selling book of all. I mean, it's sold, you know, hundreds of millions of copies. How come you've never written a best-selling book? All the words in this book are words you know, but the problem with you is you don't know how to put the words in the right order to become a best-seller. The author here did.
Starting point is 01:05:22 What I did is I know how to put those four items together that anybody could have done and I invented it. I own the rights to. They need to pep and they need to tell because you've caused me my marriage, my family, my kids. They need to say publicly. There is power in word smithing. New York Times has a lot of influence and they know how to put words together to manipulate the agenda they're trying to impose to the average American voter that doesn't read into it and they say freedom anti-government slogan. And they say, yeah, you know what, freedom. Yeah, people who say freedom, people who say freedom, people who say freedom, they're
Starting point is 01:05:55 probably Republicans. No, freedom is why America was the greatest nation on the planet today. It could still change. Freedom is the reason why America is so special. Freedom of speech, freedom of enterprise, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, I can go on with all these different freedoms that they provide you, but now it's an anti-government slogan.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Let me just say this, as a writer, that is 100% part of the New York Times messaging. That is what they do, it's subtle, but it's consistent and it's constant. They use the word freedom as an anti-government slogan. If they were doing what you think they were doing, because it's a story of Cuba, they should have said shouting freedom and other phrases in Cuba that might be interpreted as anti-government, comma, go on with it, but they didn't do that. So that's the exact, I was like a 50 words rather than four words.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Yeah, but there's no limit on Twitter now. But anyway, that's exactly what they did. They made that, they do it all the time. Yeah. Let me call this guy here. David, I'm calling you here from Cuba. Let's see what David has to say on what it is to have lived in Cuba for 15 years. David, if you're listening, I'm calling you.
Starting point is 01:06:56 And the next person I'm calling right after this is Rolando Gonzales. David, can you hear us? I call them. Do you want me to put them on speaker? Or what do you want me to do? He's on. David, can you hear me? I call them. Do you want me to put them on speaker? Or what do you want me to do? He's on. David, can you hear me?
Starting point is 01:07:08 Yes, I can hear you. Okay, David, so tell us. Tell us your background. What you do, what your experience has been with Cuba. How many years you live there? Give us a little bit about your background. 30 seconds. Any further, first of all, thank you.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Thank you for having me. I came to this country when I was 18 years old. That was six years ago. I came by myself country when I was 18 years old. That was six years ago I came by myself no family only couple friends in here I've been listening to you for a long time. I started my business listening to you So I love this country and one of the reasons I love this country is because you have at least two sides And that's what people don't understand about Cuba. On the news right now they're saying that we are protesting against
Starting point is 01:07:47 COVID and against food, nothing like that. If you're supposed to add on what what are they saying about that is because the news over here they don't want this goods against the socialists and the only reason though we are protesting in Cuba is because the company is free and nothing else. We have been for 62 years. We have no food. We have no liberty to eat nothing. So right now we're tired of all that.
Starting point is 01:08:10 And I'm sorry for my English. I learned to eat too much. You're good, bro. You're doing a great job. David, tell me, are you in communication with your family in Cuba right now? Yeah, so what they did yesterday, after the first day of everything going to the street,
Starting point is 01:08:23 they chose down the internet. So right now they got or entire country on shutdown. So the only way that we can spoke with them is paying, paying money over here. I'll make it a bit, but pay money over there, but they cannot share anything that is happening right now. So that they don't. Oh, when my mom 20, uh, 20 minutes ago, they got like on the,
Starting point is 01:08:42 they got on like on the, on the smaller towns they got on them on the center The town got the president on the speaker shouting like like everything is okay This is a fault of the United States because embargo. There is no embargo because they still have jazz They are millionaires and the people from Cuba are hungry and they are ripping the people from United States here Because we have to send anything to to help our moms and our family in Cuba. Like for example, Patrick, my brother is a doctor. He used to make $40 in Cuba. And that is how much?
Starting point is 01:09:13 How much money? 40 dollars a month. Wait, let me get to straight. Your brother's a doctor. He made $40 a month is the highest salary in Cuba as a doctor. And you should put that in perspective. Right now, a tylenum, like 10 people of tylenum for headaches, is $100 in Cuba.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Wow. It's $100. So think, Adam, think about that. When you guys talk about social links and companies and the left wing, and I'm saying this, I really like you, and it's really good to have demographic friends, because I have demographic friends, and all that's good. have demograph friends, because I have demograph friends, and all that's good.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Now, you guys are good, because we need two sides. You know, sometimes we are too over orself, and it's good to have two sides. But the side that is really this country, the demograph, the main guys, they're all corrupts, because they don't even want to talk about the Cuban right now, because a lot of Cuban butter for Biden Biden because it's the reason that you say because you don't like Trump and we don't like Trump either but
Starting point is 01:10:09 we know that this was going to happen if we have Trump right now in pieces even though that we don't like it it was a good to put up a better position we get a Q1 and the reason that Biden is not taking that position is because they are trying to protect their game that like the social is a game that they get. So my brother was a doctor, he made 40 dollars from Q1. So he had to go work five, seven, take a week, and after he finished saving lives with the motorcycle that he bought making a bakery in Orhome.
Starting point is 01:10:39 So he had to go to the doctor, save life, and they come back and spend four or five hours of making like it's more Baitery to sell we help in my mom helping everybody help on that's that's the only way that you can survive in Cuba Let me let me answer question David when when Trump announced the sanctions nine months ago that he put on Cuba Where no American person can stay on a Property in Cuba. I believe that's a Cuban owned property. When he put those sanctions to hurt the economy of Cuba to hopefully have a revolution where the people would go up against the government,
Starting point is 01:11:10 how did the people in Cuba feel about Trump's sanctions he posed against Cuba? By the 95% of Cuba know that that is good because they even without that sanctions, they still have in bathrooms for 62 years. They's not the new for 62 years. We have the same money from here to the Alexa Union. Let's say so what they do is they take your dollars,
Starting point is 01:11:33 the dollar that I make, they keep it and then they give you some monopoly dollars to the people. So right now instead of making it, if I send $100 from Cuba, right now they only give it like 80. And on paper that don't say word for nothing. So everybody in Cuba don't let the news from here letting you otherwise. Everybody in Cuba knows that we have to be harder with the detergent, because even though the dissension don't affect enough in the country,
Starting point is 01:12:01 they only affect the people on power. They got, they got, they got, they got, they got, they got just on the visa right now. Castro sounds, Castro's daughter, everybody is fleeing out. Raul Castro, they took a plane yesterday to Venezuela. So I've been talking, I've been texting to your program like for four months, four weeks ago, Patrick, because I know that you do a lot of interviews where everybody have been followed for our entire years.
Starting point is 01:12:26 And I hope in the future you can do something about this. The main reason that we got this socially influenced or United States right now is Cuba. Cuba is behind Venezuela. Military and Cuba is running Venezuela.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Well, first of all, David, thank you so much for being given us your perspective of where you're at and appreciate your listening to this. Complete different perspective on what you said on what's going on with Cuba. Once again, thank you for your time, David.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Appreciate you. And Audrey, hello. Yes. I'm listening. Go ahead. Yeah. You just want to try it out to my people and send me to go ask the body.
Starting point is 01:13:00 They came out to the three yesterday, but they're a smaller town. People have on that. Come away. Big cities are still out. And from my people here in the United States, As a body they came out to the three yesterday but they're smaller towns people have on that come away Big cities is still out and from my people here in the United States I want to let you know this is what happened when you let people from the government take your guns This is what happened with the government is too big all this is to shake that's what they do They give you free money now and then when they take it apart from you think you're 15 year for now
Starting point is 01:13:23 You have nothing so you can not defend yourself. And positive for the people that are saying that, this is a civil war, this is no civil war, because we don't have guns. They are killing my people in the town. My people have nothing, not even alcohol, but as we fire, they got nothing. And they kill a kid, yes, they 13 years old,
Starting point is 01:13:41 the police get a kid. And they shoot somebody on the flame right next to my town. So they are killing my people. Don't let the new saying that other way. This is like Hong Kong like everybody say. They are trying to say something different now. My people is out of the street. We don't have guns. We are trying to take the gun from the police. But we can't we don't have guns. They got transga guy everybody. Everybody on the United States right now is asking for intervention, military and Cuba. Everybody in the United States right now is asking for intervention military and Cuba. We don't care what happened next. We just don't want the
Starting point is 01:14:10 dig territory there. For the world that I care and they go to Cuba and make you on the next way to Rico, even if you want to stay, even if Elon Musk wants to send them to the factory and make everybody on Cuba work for the minimum salary, they can do that. We kill and start part of that. We don't care about the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the company is the social elements. That's why everybody in two on this boarding for Trump. Because something something different was here. Every, every, every people here ask, oh, what do you want people
Starting point is 01:14:37 both for Trump? Because this situation, every immigrant that is right here and this goes right now, we have been running from our left. Go for it. I'm here for the left. Oh my gosh. Well, we are right. It's tough to debate that. Now, this is first hand. David, once again, appreciate you, man.
Starting point is 01:14:53 Thank you so much. Have a good one. I appreciate it. Anytime. What a perspective. What a perspective. Don't you think we really have to follow what our reaction as a country is in Cuba, other than saying we're monitoring
Starting point is 01:15:04 enemy? Don't we have to step in and help these people at some point? Not militarily, though. The perspective that the media gives you, they tell you, the reason why this is happening is because of coronavirus. Jen, what's her name? She said it's because we need to send them more vaccine shots. That's why they're protesting. They're not protesting, vaccine buddy. This is not a vaccine body. This is not a vaccine protest. This is not a COVID protest. This is their second tire of a doctor making 40 bucks a month and Tylenol costs $100 for 10 pills.
Starting point is 01:15:33 You kiddin' me and you heard what he said about the gun thing where police killed a 13 year old yesterday in the city in the town right next to the town. It was a living it, complete different perspective. I'm gonna call the next person here, Rolando Gonzalez is a mechanical engineer from Cuba. Moved at 26 years old and has lived here for, lived in Florida for the last 14 years. So 40 years old, 26 years in Cuba.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Let's see what perspective he's got for us. Two things. I'll go for it. Go for it. They shut off the internet. I mean, how horrific is that for everybody they can't communicate and they took their guns. So forget about having a coup. How do you communicate?
Starting point is 01:16:01 I haven't had guns. Rolando, how are you? Hi, David. How you communicate? I haven't had guns. Rolando, how are you? Hi, David. How you doing? I'm doing fine. I appreciate it. You take this time. Anytime.
Starting point is 01:16:12 So give us a perspective. What do you think about what's going on? And if you're communicating with your family in Cuba, what did they tell you that telling you that's happening over there that the media's not telling us? First, then anything. I want to say thank you to you guys. Tom Adams, Patrick Kai, everyone's there for, you know, help me to tell the war what is happening in Cuba. Shout
Starting point is 01:16:34 out to David. He explained a lot. At the right now, we are on big problems. I, I be in communication with my family yet to the night they was able to use bpn to get access to WhatsApp and they don't know I'm from a small town they don't know anything about what's happening around there I begin to send them pictures to them and I helping them to put the other cell phones that they got to bpn also yeah so they can be able to see. The big problem is we don't have internet, they don't have communication in between, they shut down the light, they're playing something now they call Plankasike,
Starting point is 01:17:12 which is like take it out of the communication, take the times, they mobilize regular people to fight on different times. Let's say if you are from Miami, they take you from Miami to follow the people-loaded people and then they bring people from Four-loaded to find Miami. Why are they doing that? What's the reason for doing that? Well, they say they say in Cuba, you have to go to military service. It's obligatory, right? Yeah, they prepare you for that, right? So what they doing is they say, oh these people are from you know is a
Starting point is 01:17:44 People that get influenced from United States, these people are from, you know, is the people that get influence from the United States. So let's gonna put it, you know, let's gonna bring us to what we need or social shit, you know? And there is communication between both ways. The problem is you are for a small town. You don't know anything what is happening and then town next to you. And they tell you there, when they put you there,
Starting point is 01:18:04 you don't know what you're fighting for. You know, you were training to fight, you know, an enemy from outside of the country, not to your own people. That's what they're doing. I sent Kai on the text, a picture, how they are like two policemen with a junk kid that's certain you're all, that they kill.
Starting point is 01:18:24 They get, I sent you another video there also, you can put it after second 40, you can see how like six, eight people beating to a shoulder. It's crazy what the police is doing is totally run. Let me ask you question, who's creating this division? Is there division being created? Is the government? is the government? So how are they pinning people against each other?
Starting point is 01:18:48 What's their method of pinning people against each other? Okay, so they go to your home, say, it's okay, we get an intervention and we need to be a part of this one because you're a part of the reserve, right? They take you, they put you in another town. You don't have any news. You don't know anything like the same. You was talking about the news there that was totally
Starting point is 01:19:11 run. It's the same with CNN. Get to the now. I was saying, what is this? They're getting the information so run. They don't get the right information. Everything that David said before was right. He was totally right. There are many polluting information going in and out. And here, the left is doing the same. Let me ask you this other question. When you are somebody that lived in Cuba for 26 years, you've been here for 14 years, you're 40 years old.
Starting point is 01:19:37 I'm assuming you got a family, right? You're a family man, yourself. Yes, sir. Okay. Yes. Well, how do you see what's happening in America? Do you see any similar trends? Would what's happening here? Would what happened in Cuba? Do you see any similar trends? Oh, definitely,
Starting point is 01:19:51 definitely. I would say something pretty shut up to Ben Shapiro get to that. He says something pretty good. Let's say the people who doesn't love America send them to Cuba. Let's bring the people who love who, bring them here. Yeah, to do that, that's going to be absolutely impossible because AOC will have a very hard time selling or $20 sweaters for $60 in Cuba because even a doctor couldn't afford to buy her sweater in Cuba. Anyways, thank you, Orlando. One question for us. Yeah, go for it.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Sure. What's your name again, buddy? Orlando. Orlando. One pregunta. Yes, sir. Other than the COVID, right? Obviously, that's changed the world. What's different now between five years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, socialism, communism, Castro? They've been there. What's different now other than COVID? Okay. First, you back, like,
Starting point is 01:20:43 like, let's say a year ago, you got two currencies there. You can buy at least with that two currencies. Now you get paid on Cuban money, but you cannot buy on Cuban money. You have to buy it with dollars. Then they say, no, we don't want dollars. We want euros now. So basically they're paying you in Cuban money, but you can go and buy let's say beer or Just like cigarettes. So you're saying the one thing that has changed is the currency that's accepted
Starting point is 01:21:14 Well Again, this is just because they want the people from the outside paid their their things You know, let's say if I send now money to my family, yeah, they can know that let's say I put a here a hundred and thirty dollars. Yeah, my family get a hundred dollars, but they don't get a hundred dollars. They get it and keep them on the right. St. David said by the way, they can they cannot go to the they can go to the store and buy food. They're taxing them. So let me ask you question. So if you wire money from here, if you send money from your Western Union to your family
Starting point is 01:21:46 and Cuba, they don't get on the money. covering the story on media? Like if you were to say a certain podcast, a certain new station, a certain newspaper that's covering the accurate stories of what's going on in Cuba, who would you say it is? Okay. Okay. it's a radio guy from Miami that make an interview to Joe 12, which is a new section from from Cuba who live in Miami. They're coming the, the history pretty good there. What's his name? I would say what's his name? Uh, Jo 12.
Starting point is 01:22:38 Jo 12 is, is from the group or each us. Yeah, Joe, you write that down. Let's write that down. See why? Why are you T. E. L. Why are you T. E. L. I am you tell. We're trying to get a hold of you. Tell. Yeah. Okay. Well, why are T. U. E. L. Why all T. U. E. L. You're 12. Yeah. You're 12. This people. These people are these people people are covering the history pretty good. I will, I will suggest to go to Facebook and look for people who have posting videos, you know, and all the news here and saying, oh,
Starting point is 01:23:13 this protest was just on Sunday. It wasn't just on Sunday was Sunday, Monday and still doing today again. What's up? We're getting the videos pretty late. Ricky always call trash about Jorge Ramos. What are your thoughts on Jorge Ramos? I don't like it. I don't see any. Honestly, I don't see any lighting media at all. You don't see any what? You don't see any what? Oh, you mean for
Starting point is 01:23:37 a universe? Yeah. Like Latinos, Latinos, Latinos, media, no, no, you, not. Let me ask you question why are so many latinos in america not supportive of what you stand for why are so many latinos and media who escaped socialism who escaped the the experiences they had why are they not supporting you know and i'm not talking about everybody there's a lot of people that are there's a lot of people media that'll say it's not fair what's going on and by the way that that could be on the left and the right. You heard what Rubio said yesterday.
Starting point is 01:24:08 You heard what the mayor of Miami Suarez said yesterday. He was out there protesting. He was out there representing the people on Sunday and Monday. And now this is not negotiable. Yeah, this is not negotiable. But why are so many people in media just kind of like, oh, you know, it's COVID, it's vaccine. Because, because, first thing in spod
Starting point is 01:24:26 tree, language is a huge barrier. And a lot of people is coming from Cuba. They don't speak English, even my English free bath, but I can understand everything. People doesn't speak English. So the only way that they have to see is whatever they see on media. That's how I'm telling them this, you know,
Starting point is 01:24:44 that's a very powerful point. I would say, guys, I know what you're doing. I follow you guys and I think it's pretty good the way that you're doing. Honestly, I open Google every morning, read the news and my other way that I do is just go to your podcast. Well, that's great to hear and we appreciate the support. Rolando.
Starting point is 01:25:05 Thank you so much. We're giving us perspective on how things are going right now in Cuba. And we wish you and your family not to bump the very best, man. Appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you guys.
Starting point is 01:25:15 Thank you everybody. How interesting is that? You know, it's crazy. Somebody commented and they said, now has this become a right-wing podcast? Is what somebody said? No, not at all. What part of what we just did?
Starting point is 01:25:25 Do we know who Roland was? I don't know Roland, I've never met this guy. Do I know who David is? I've never met David Randos. We're getting perspective of what they're saying, but because the story and a narrative they're saying doesn't match what Telemundo, what Univision, and what CNN, and what MSNBC,
Starting point is 01:25:42 what some others are saying, this is automatically a right way. Versus a group of people that are independent thinkers, yes, you may be a little bit more center left. Yes, I may be a little bit more center right. Yes, you may be a little bit, whatever different feelings that we have. But automatically look where identity politics goes.
Starting point is 01:25:58 You automatically go, that's what this person is. That's what that person is. So let me just say something. I'm born and raised in Miami. I've grown up with Cubans. Oh I'm born and raised in Miami. I've grown up with Cubans. Oh, like born and raised in Miami. Yeah. I lived up until moving up to Boca, a mile outside a little
Starting point is 01:26:12 Havana. I tons of Cuban friends. I know the mayor very well. I have tons of Cuban friends. And this is nothing new, meaning they've been, they came here in the late 70s, early 80s. Obviously, you know, people came here in the 1950s after, early 80s, obviously, you know, people came here in the 1950s after Castro, but people I know
Starting point is 01:26:28 have been here for a long time. This is nothing new in regards to, we've known what socialism and communism has done to Cuba and Venezuela for years. What I think is happening now, what, where the COVID thing is, is one of the things that Cuba gets recognized for is their socialized medicine and socialized education.
Starting point is 01:26:49 And that is clearly falling apart. And now COVID has exacerbated the problems that exist in communism. Now there's food shortages. Obviously, they turned off the internet, social unrest, high food prices, collapsing infrastructure in Kaya. I actually went to Cuba. I don't know if we want to pull this up right now, but this is nothing new.
Starting point is 01:27:07 My amines have been talking trash about Cuba forever. So here's a little story. This is a nice facade of what's going on. They got the nice cars, basically, from the 1950s. It looks great, and this is the town center, Kaya. We can just keep going. And, but then you start driving around when you're in these cars,
Starting point is 01:27:24 and you see the actual infrastructure. So I went to Cuba 2014, I want to say, under the Obama administration. But basically, when you peel back from, you know, here's a guy, it was our driver. It seemed like a happy guy. But it seems nice. It seems what's the word that, you know,
Starting point is 01:27:45 it's like a throwback almost. But then when you actually get in the car and start driving around Cuba, here's what we saw. Is that a volume guy? All right, so we're taking a tour in one of, you know, a 1960 Thunderbird. And then we drive past this street right here. People live there?
Starting point is 01:28:06 People live there, that's what people live. That's what people live. And here's what, what used to be a gorgeous building and then just crumbling infrastructure. And that was my biggest takeaway from being in Cuba. Cause we were there for 48 hours, we had a good time, you know, 12 Miami dudes having a nice time in Cuba for my friend Keith Bachelors party.
Starting point is 01:28:23 But this was my biggest takeaway. I'm not saying what's your point. Here's my point. The facade of communism looks great on the outside. The nice, nice, you know, capital looks good during these nice cars, then you start driving into the neighborhoods. My biggest takeaways, you see all these buildings
Starting point is 01:28:39 that are gorgeous architecture, gorgeous, and then just crumbling, crumbling from the inside. So we stayed in a nice hotel, we're thinking, oh, this looks pretty cool, no big deals, it's nice here. And then you start driving the streets and you start seeing the people that are going on there and the crumbling infrastructure, and then you realize, okay, that's what's going on
Starting point is 01:28:59 behind the scenes. Now building is an example. I'll say this, my heart goes out to every Cuban that's living in Cuba right now. When you call your revolt in what you're doing, you're uprising misery, you can understand what the conditions are. And the government only makes it worse and worse
Starting point is 01:29:12 than worse for them, taking their electricity, taking their internet. So prayers for you guys. And I'm hoping some people with money here in the United States, some influential Cubans can do something. I don't know what. Oh, you can't.
Starting point is 01:29:22 What he's trying to tell you is the fact that they're not even letting money get in there because they're taxing the money that's going into the system. So they're not even letting that take place. Anyway, so look, more power to Orlando and David for a given perspective. Now you kind of have an idea from people that live there and are saying what is currently taking place when they're communicating. It's even hard for them to communicate with the people there. Yesterday, AOC, go to AOC's Twitter account. I don't know if she's already Twittered
Starting point is 01:29:44 40 other things. We're not going to be able to find it. Yesterday, AOC, go to AOC's Twitter account. I don't know if she's already Twittered 40 other things. We're not gonna be able to find it. But just go on Twitter, tap and AOC, go to her, yeah, go straight to her. Let's see what we got here. Keep going up, keep going up, keep going up, keep going up, there's a message there, yeah. Go up on, go up on.
Starting point is 01:30:00 So she said this, Martin Luther King was murdered, confronted with her son. Today's GOP, we are gutting the very voting rights act King worked for you. Don't want to believe someone's saying, there's a go up one more. Like, matter of click on that one right there, the bottom one.
Starting point is 01:30:11 The one that says, whites, it must be frankly said, okay, go up. She says something else on the bottom. Keep going, right there. The code of King is not from an early work. It is from when his last words, where do we go from here? Chaos or community?
Starting point is 01:30:24 If all sorts of folks who claim what MLK would do, actually studies at work, they would understand he was a radical and an anti-capitalist too. You know what's crazy? She says that, now go to my Twitter account. Go to my Twitter account and I retweeted her and I had my thoughts to say about this year. Okay, go up and let me see where it's at, there you go.
Starting point is 01:30:44 While the world is witnessing the people of Cuba protests against socialism and communism, you trash capitalism, terrible timing to bash capitalism, especially when you're the ultimate capitalist using your platform to sell $20 sweaters for $60, right? So the point is she has a platform to trash capitalism. Young innocent naive people who have never lived in Cuba, who have never lived in Iran, who have never lived in a communist regime before. Look at that and say, oh my gosh, she knows what she's talking about. Words have a lot of power.
Starting point is 01:31:13 And today, these words are influencing the younger audience to say capitalism sucks, rich people suck. Socialism is the way to go, right? That's a direction we want to kind of pitch America to go. The good news is that we're starting to see people like Ashton Kutcher and Makana, hey, some of these other gadgets, and I don't know if that's a direction we want to go.
Starting point is 01:31:30 Hopefully those people will rise up more and they'll push back some of these initiatives. There's gonna come a time next 10 to 20 years when she's gonna run for president. And I've already told you what my belief system is, what percentage it is. The day she becomes a president, folks, be ready. This is all I'm percentage it is. The day she becomes a president, folks, be ready. This is all I'm gonna tell you.
Starting point is 01:31:46 The day she becomes a president, she is gone. If you fast forward between now and 20 years from now, how many followers do you think AOC is gonna have in 20 years? If it's right now, she's got 12 and a half million. What do you think she's gonna have in 10 years? 50 million, what are you talking about? In 10 years, how many followers do you think she'll have? 150, probably.
Starting point is 01:32:03 She's probably gonna be 150 million follower person. Passing agenda like this, what do you think's gonna be the chance of a running? Very, very high. Brace for impact. Had one of my employees I was speaking to him, I said, so a house family, house kids, I said, you know what my wife and I made one decision?
Starting point is 01:32:20 What's that? We're not gonna have kids, so why not? I said to be honest with you, we talked to the family about this. This is a conservative family. I said, why are you not having kids? He says, Pat, would everything that's going on today, why have kids, when we know whatever we do to raise the kids,
Starting point is 01:32:36 the school, the media, everybody's trying to shape their way of thinking that we can win that battle? Did you see the video that I said? I don't know. By the way, I think that's a horrible perspective. It's not. I don't know who said that, but it's the way, I think that's a horrible perspective. It's not. I don't know who said that, but it's not. I think that's a, I think that's a,
Starting point is 01:32:47 that's a, that's a, that's a, not a horrible perspective. Yeah, that's fine. I don't know who said it. I don't know why they said it. It is a, I think that's a cop outlaw. First of all, I'm having four kids. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:32:55 You think I'm sitting there agreeing with the guy, what I'm trying to tell you is the fact that people are afraid of having kids because they're worried about how dangerous it is right now. Like if, if right now, if right now, you know in the next 10 to 20 years, a person like A.O.C. is gonna be president. You excited about it?
Starting point is 01:33:08 No, I wouldn't be excited about it, but that wouldn't prevent me from having kids. Not saying you. That's like a doomsday scenario. It's like a prepper. Whoever that is is like a prepper. Not you, but there are a lot of people who are educated, smart people
Starting point is 01:33:20 who are worried about what the future looks like. The only reason somebody's not having kids today is because they're worried about the next 10, 20, 30 years. Look, I get the guys perspective. I mean, look, yesterday, I'm flying here and, you know, I get married. I don't get it. I get so many questions. We could go.
Starting point is 01:33:35 And we could go. My daughter asked me, my daughter of on ask me, Hey Dad, do you think we're going to have to wear masks next year at school? I said, no way. Look at California's open right now. It feels normal. Everything's great. There's no way.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Yesterday, they announced masks are mandatory. I saw that. Everything's great. There's no way. Yesterday, they announced mass armandatory. And then they didn't about face later, I think, and they said that every school district's going to be able to make that decision. I was so depressed when I heard that. I mean, they're coming after these kids again. They've already robbed a year and a half of their life. Literally, they've taken it from them. But the kids are going back to school and come.
Starting point is 01:33:59 Yeah, well, of course, they are going back to school. They are going back to school. And they were not in school. Like, your kids were not in school all last year in California. They didn't go back to school until April and then it was like one or two hours a day, one or two days a week. But at least for right now,
Starting point is 01:34:11 in your school doesn't start till August, September. Yeah, the plan is to go back to the full time. But they better not be wearing masks. That's all I can say. But California can impose that on them if they wanted to. That's simple. California can't say, you know, they're gonna be not wearing masks or wearing masks having to do that. And they have nothing to say. You can't say, you know, they're going to be not wearing masks or wearing
Starting point is 01:34:25 masks having to do that and they have nothing to say. You can't say nothing about that at all. Larry Cudlow has a story that came out. Let's go to page eight. Here's what he had to say. Larry Cudlow is with Fox Business. He said, we are fighting for the souls of America. For the soul of America, we are fighting for the very soul of this great country and there's no better way to do it than to compare the ultra blue state of California versus the ultra-red state of Florida. California had some of the hardest COVID lockdown measures while Florida was among one of the first states to reopen way back in May of 2020. California's economy has a 7.9% unemployment rate. Florida is below 5%. California has a 13.3% top income tax rate. Florida does not have an income tax. California has amongst the biggest homeless population in the country,
Starting point is 01:35:09 though it has only 12% of America's population. California has one quarter of America's homeless. Let me read that one more time. Even though California only has 12% of America's population, California has a quarter, 25% of America's homeless. Florida is America's free estate, according to Kato Institute Survey, number one in fiscal freedom, number one in educational freedom. Kato Dubs, California, wanted the least free states and flat out Dubs it, the most cronious state in the union,
Starting point is 01:35:39 New York Post, colonist Kylie Smith says, again, the most cronious state in the union. Chroniest means People who are able to buy politicians in that state to get any agenda. They want to get past it Adam your big Larry Cutler guy. What do you think about what he has to say about this? Yeah, I actually you know, he's on Fox business. He was At one point for a brief stint for like less than a year Trump's economic advisor is on his council look
Starting point is 01:36:04 There you you talked about being a word smith earlier about the New York Times. Larry Cudlow did some word smithing here, especially. That's our word smith. You call it a word smithing? Can I say my point? But you call it a word smithing? I'm asking you a question.
Starting point is 01:36:23 Did I get, can I say my point? You usually ask me what's my point?. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:36:32 What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:36:40 What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about.

What you call you what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're talking about. What you call what you're of Florida. Are you willing to say that Florida is ultra red? By the way, today, Texas isn't even ultra red. Hear me out today, today. Many people would say Florida's more red than Texas today.
Starting point is 01:36:52 Many people would say Florida and Texas has have switched in the last 18 months. I don't agree with that. However, I don't just tell you our people. You may have been saying the government is ultra red. Well, let's hear your brilliant point. The Sanchez is like, I think, look, as someone who has lived in Florida's all life, I think you would be willing to say, the Sanchez has done a good job here.
Starting point is 01:37:12 Marco Rubio, little Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, there's, they're both senators, Republican senators. I'm just taking notes, buddy. Keep out. Alabama, West Virginia, Mississippi, states that no one's trying to live in, by the way, you, when you move out of your table, and you didn't think, well, what's going on? On West Virginia this month, that no one's trying to live in, by the way, when you move out of your table, you didn't think, well, what's going on in West Virginia this month, that didn't happen. I definitely didn't think California, New York, either, by the way. Okay.
Starting point is 01:37:31 Yeah. Exactly. And the whole reason, like, the numbers are true. I'm not debating that my whole thing was he's right, but it's dramatic. It's a dramatic effect. This is wordsmithing here. The ultra red state of Florida. No, this is as purple as it gets.
Starting point is 01:37:44 It's voted Clinton. It's voted Obama. It's voted Trump. It's voted by it. Like it goes either way. However, I think Larry Cudlow has a major point here. I'm in Florida. I'm thankful living in Florida. It's the free estate in the goddamn Union. Respect. Now let's talk to a socialist over here from California. Okay. Go back to your point. Yeah. Wartsmithing Stats. I'm saying I didn't say anything about the stats. I agree with the stats. So you do. He's right. And he's true. He's just over dramatic. Okay, what the over dramatic part is all dreads. Stay in a portal. Exactly. That's my point. But the stats tell a very and I agree with the stats. I'm not questioning the stats. The stats tell you what's going on there in time.
Starting point is 01:38:26 Exactly. I'm thankful to live in Florida and not California. Like this. Let's talk to a California. You know what? Do you know how many people I've brought over here? Yeah. And they've stayed here for a week.
Starting point is 01:38:34 Let's just say, okay, I went to a restaurant the other day. Whatever it's called, the blue moon something something. It's right across for a lot of it. It's actually a real nice restaurant. I don't know what it's called, it's a nice restaurant. You go pay lunches like, you know, you pay six. Blue Martini. I don't know what it's called to a nice restaurant. You go pay lunches like, you know, you pay six. Blue martini.
Starting point is 01:38:47 I don't know what it's called. Nice restaurant on the water. So I'm there, I'm leaving. And I'm getting to Valet, this 65-year-old lady's outside with a mask on. She says, I cannot believe the level of irresponsibility of these people in Florida. How do you guys dare walk around without a mask on?
Starting point is 01:39:06 And Dylan and Tico and Senna are right next to me, right? And my dad next to me, I'm like, really? I said, man, I'm so sorry, feel that way. Where are you from? I'm from California, we are responsible there, really. What part of California? What do you know about California? I said, I may know a little bit about California.
Starting point is 01:39:21 Where are you from? Mission Viejo, do you know where that's at? Yeah, I lived in California 24 years and so cal. Okay, I see, you know what I little bit about California. Where you from? Mission Viejo. Do you know where that's at? Yeah, I lived in California 24 years and so on. Okay, I see. You know what I've noticed about Californians? She said, what? I said, I've noticed in Californians, whether you're left or right, you're miserable today.
Starting point is 01:39:34 Why? Because the ones who are on the left, who believe everybody should wear a mask, they think everybody's an idiot who doesn't wear a mask and they're so bitter. And the ones on the right are so bitter today because they don't want to be forced to wear a mask and they're so bitter. And the ones on the right are so bitter today because they don't want to be forced to wear a mask. California has become bitter county.
Starting point is 01:39:49 And there's a lot of people that are bitter like yourself and nobody can make anybody happy in California. That's why a lot of people man from your state are coming to states like Texas and Florida. Whatever she's welcome. What are the odds that she ran into you in the valley line? Come on, you kids. So anyways, what are your thoughts?
Starting point is 01:40:05 My thoughts are, hey, I'm going to take the positive spin here. 12% of the population lives in California. We have 25% of the homeless population. We're overachievers. I mean, we're amazing. Respect. You know, here's the thing. At what point do people with common sense and intelligence
Starting point is 01:40:18 understand that it doesn't have to continue to be this way? There are alternatives, and it starts with government and you know what, we have the big election coming up here. I don't know if we have a shot or not, but it's easy to take shots at California right now because we deserve it and you don't see a lot of hope. He's also very good at getting the attention. He said that he sees Florida and South Florida
Starting point is 01:40:41 replacing Wall Street. I just don't see that happening. Do you, I mean, could you act to actually see? It would take this state, state, like not state as a state of Texas. It would take the state, the current state of economy in New York to stay like this for a decade. If it does, it can happen.
Starting point is 01:40:59 But if it changes, if California and New York change within the next 18 months, let's just say Larry Alder announced he has said he's run for governor for California. I don't know if you next 18 months. Let's just say Larry Elder announced yesterday he's running for governor for California. I don't know if you heard that or not. Last night Larry Elder, you know who Larry Elder is who helped flip I think. Black conservative.
Starting point is 01:41:13 Black conservative. He announced yesterday he's running for governor of the state of California. David Rubin, David Rubin. David Rubin. And Larry Elder's got a big following in the state of California. He's got a big following period.
Starting point is 01:41:24 He's obviously loved and hated because he's hated. He's got a lot of people that can't stand what he stands for because he's a conservative in the state of California. He's got a big following period. He's obviously loved and hated because he's hated, he's got a lot of people that can't stand what he stands for because he's a conservative in the state of California. California is right now getting a lot of people that are gonna be running. If the politics in California and New York changes, there's no way that's gonna be happening to Florida. But if California and New York stay like this
Starting point is 01:41:39 for another decade, he's absolutely right. Florida will be the next Wall Street. Well, I actually went down on a dinner episode for value-tamming economics at a event called ROI Miami and the whole theme was, is Miami becoming the next Silicon Valley. And basically all these tech entrepreneurs, Wall Street types, Silicon Valley types, investors were, you know,
Starting point is 01:42:01 coming to South Florida as their new haven to get away from what was going on California. It's ironic because there's another story here about the global venture funding. And basically saying, you know what the next Silicon Valley is? Silicon Valley. It's basically saying, sorry, Austin, sorry, Miami. But funding for companies in the Bay Area jumped 93% in 2020, which gave Silicon Valley its second consecutive $20 billion quarter. It's still by far the largest tech hub. So 10 years from now, maybe,
Starting point is 01:42:29 but right now Silicon Valley is still a Silicon Valley. All right, so let's talk about the last story here while wrap up. I really want to touch that joke of its story, but to touch that story, we're not gonna just, listen, I want to touch it so bad. We can't have the debate who the best players are. I want to touch it so bad, you have no idea. I'm just going to give the business insider title is all I'm gonna say
Starting point is 01:42:48 This is all I don't know bad. I'm not reading. It's a business insider which is a left-leaning newspaper Website they're left. Please no time out. They're left inside no back No back left Joe Kovic says he might refuse to be vaccinated against the coronavirus because the world, number one, is opposed to vaccinations. That's the title of the business insider story. If you haven't read it, I suggest you go read it. Having said that, let's skip the story to the next story. Let's talk about what our friend, Adam's best friend, Donald Trump, had to say about Facebook
Starting point is 01:43:23 and Twitter. He recently decided to sue those guys. This is a roider story. Trump sued Facebook, Twitter, and Google, claiming censorship. Former US President, Donald Trump, on Wednesday filed lawsuit against those guys. As well as their chief executives alleging their unlawfully silence conservative viewpoints, the lawsuit filed in the US district, court of Miami, alleged the California-based social media platform violated the right to freedom of speech guarantee by the First Amendment
Starting point is 01:43:44 of the US Constitution, Trump and, class action status for the lawsuit, meaning the world, he would represent the interests of other users of Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube, who alleged they have been unfairly silenced, he filed three lawsuits making similar allegations, one against Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, one against Twitter, Jack Dorsey, and one against Google, Sundar, okay, thoughts on this lawsuit. won against Google, Sundar. Okay, thoughts on this lawsuit.
Starting point is 01:44:08 I'm gonna shock you. Let's hear it. But actually, I'm good with this. I hope he... I'm glad you are. Yeah, I mean, because we talked about this before. So meaning you support this. Meaning, if there's anything that I'm not a fan of,
Starting point is 01:44:18 there's the big tech overreach that's happening in this country right now. Conservative voices, they're running off to platforms like Parler and other platforms that are happening right now. I'd like to see where this goes. At the same time, these private companies are going to be able to say, look, we can do what we want. I know Trump has not been a fan of Section 230,
Starting point is 01:44:36 either is Biden. Section 230 is the thing that's big up for debate. But I'd like to see where this goes from here. However, here's my prediction. I know you talked about you don't want Trump to run. You think he's gonna run. I'm gonna say, I think Trump is 1,000% running in 2024, but I actually do not think he has a chance,
Starting point is 01:44:52 unless he actually wins his lawsuit and can get on these platforms. Without Twitter, without Facebook, without YouTube, without all that stuff, he doesn't have a chance. Way too early to say he doesn't have a chance. There's so many things I can change in this country. My biggest takeaway from this is how he claims that Facebook was in cohorts essentially with the Centers for Disease Control and Fauci.
Starting point is 01:45:12 And to advance the only the narrative that the defendant's in Dr. Fauci's subscribing. I think you mean Fauci. Yeah, Fauci. By the way, he's 80 years old, by the way, and the highest paid government employee. So there you go. I want to watch that because now what are you hearing? All you're hearing about is the Delta variant. Yesterday, we already mentioned about the mask
Starting point is 01:45:30 going back on the kids. I'm worried about where things are going with COVID because they've used it in the past. They're gonna weaponize it again and I'm scared. What do you think, Pat? I think the Trump has sued 1900 people prior to him running for president. He's used to be in litigious ensuing people.
Starting point is 01:45:47 What that means out of his 1900 lawsuits, like is he going to win a make any kind of a head wave? I don't know. I don't know if anything's going to take place over there. There's too many people that would love for him to not have the freedom to voice his opinion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. And those people aren't the left. Now somehow, some way, I will give you timing,
Starting point is 01:46:06 and I'll give you a prediction here. You ready? I'm gonna give you the craziest prediction here, and I think I'm gonna be right. When did Pfizer announce that their vaccine is ready? It's like right after the election. Two days after the election. You know when Trump's gonna be free
Starting point is 01:46:19 to have Facebook Twitter and YouTube back a day after election. Midterms? Not midterms, in 2024. He will be back on Facebook Twitter and YouTube back a day after election. Not midterm, 24. He will be back on Facebook Twitter and YouTube in December of 2024. That is my prediction and I'm sticking to it. And a people of power, no timing, they've done a great job with it strategically. Minipulative, dark, dirty, but they're going to play that card and they're going to say,
Starting point is 01:46:39 yes, let's drag out this lawsuit. Mr. Trump, you won, but December 2024. By that time, you're 78, which means for you to run at 82, will not happen. That means we will never get a second term with the president Trump. You don't think that they're cunning and conniving and something like that.
Starting point is 01:46:55 I think they're your friends, they're, they're, of course. Yeah, so that's my prediction. Anyways, folks, we are back again this Thursday podcast. If you enjoy the podcast, give us a sub. We are again 33,000 subs. So if you enjoyed today, put a thumbs up. And thanks to Ronaldo and David for their perspective on Cuba. Hopefully a lot of progress will be happening there. Stay tuned to Thursday because you said you have a big announcement. Friday. Friday.
Starting point is 01:47:17 Okay. This announcement is going to be made and it'll be a topic of discussion. We'll be talking about this a lot. We're all excited to hear what's in our channel. It's going to cost me a lot of money, but I'm willing to pull my money on my mouth. It's because I put my because I think this is something that's necessary for America today. Great show today guys.
