Anyways, episode today's what ride right? What? No, five shout out to Miami. Three oh five. That's a special one. Let's go. We got a lot to talk about. It's home team. By the way, just everybody knows this Thursday.
Starting point is 00:00:56 The podcast this Thursday is going to be myself with two Muslims that I'm invited to have a friendly discussion with two folks who will go give their perspective from the POV and challenges they see in Muslim and Muslim friends are going to come here, have the discussion which is going to be fantastic. And then I'm looking forward to that. We've already had a lot of discussions behind closed doors for this to be done. We'll be doing many, many more of these. It'll be myself with the four of them this Thursday.
Starting point is 00:01:25 I'll put that in your calendar tomorrow 9 a.m. We're launching the Tom Brady interviews, finally getting released tomorrow, which is going to be epic. So for some of you that wanted to really see it, it's going to go out tomorrow. Some of the things I asked Tom, which ring was more important, the seven rings? Was it more to get one more than?
Starting point is 00:01:43 Bellow check goes a more important to get one more than Michael. You'll have to see, to see which one you think the answer was. But aside from that, we've got a lot of things to talk about today. We've got the UAW strike that's taking place right now. 13,000 employees, workers, part of the union, went on a strike. It's not looking good. We've got a lot of things to talk to you about with that. Another one is man arrested and suspected assassination attempt at RFK Jr. on Waitil, you see how quickly the government
Starting point is 00:02:15 moved to give a Kennedy, who's running for president, Secret Service Protection, then Denver Homeless camp features Papa Bars with rentable, ready? Prostitution tents. Okay, we'll talk about that. Nice. A timetable of sexual assault allegations, again, Russell Brand.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Americans are least likely, ready? This is from CNBC, to care about kids having good manners. Here's what they prioritize instead. We'll talk about that. Donald Trump likes the concept of picking a female running mate for presidential race. Donald Trump wished liberal Jews a happy new year by accusing them of destroying America that didn't make a lot of people happy. This, this, there was a part of, we have to talk about beetle Jews to show how special it is. I mean, it's so special. It's arousing people. It's exciting them to get down and dirty and fool around with each other.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Have you taken somebody on a beer juice day? I get a big buzz of this situation. I mean, can you imagine you go on? You say, so Mary, would you like to go watch Beetlejuice together? You know, that's like your way of talking dirty. I can only imagine like, my God, it's going down. It's cool. It's amazing. You want to go dinner, have a stiff drink, go out to the club and everything.
Starting point is 00:03:28 And then just just see a great play that just penetrates this whole. Yeah, that's right. There's so again, so AOC, AOC video shows AOC confronted by furious news New Yorkers, Sanders, Bernie Sanders, you guys ready for this one? Serious discussions should take place on the four-day work week. Yes, sir, we're gonna go work four days, but get paid for five days. That math makes a lot of sense. What a... The genius behind socialists is just something else on a whole different level. Chinese spy, threat to US Congress amplified here's another one Then there were two the disappearance of second Chinese minister sparks speculation financial times
Starting point is 00:04:11 Zelenski guess what he's doing here. He came to his private equity guys to meet with them this private equity firm It's called the White House He's coming. He's coming.

He's coming. He walk around. Biden's accusing the auto makers of a lot of crazy things. Biden economic policy have quietly made people's lives better. This is an insider story. Then Fox News story says, voters say White House doing more harm than good on inflation. Googlers, two words you can no longer use at Google. Maybe we'll talk about that. You can no longer use words such as share and bundle.
Starting point is 00:04:44 It's offensive. She used those words. Obviously, the jet that was missing $100 million jet that won miss, I mean, it's not a big deal. It's just, hey, whatever. Can you guys just look for it? Can you ask a guy? I think I'm asking you when I,
Starting point is 00:04:56 for a self, for a $5 Starbucks cart. Go, I said shit. And it's the one with the most advanced technology. Yeah, so it's not a trainer. Last but not least, 7,000 people arrive on Italian island of 6,000. Oh my God. As migrant crisis overwhelms,
Starting point is 00:05:13 something's got to be there. Lempidusa. Can you imagine guys, there's only 6,000 people. That's like 330 million people living in America, 340 million people show up here as migrants. Listen, we gotta take them. We gotta take care of these guys. Anyways, all right, let's go with the main story here.
Starting point is 00:05:25 You, a, w, strike, will be felt beyond Detroit, national association of manufacturers warns. This is not good on what's going on over there. The national association of manufacturers has issued a warning about the United Auto Workers, strike against Detroit's big three automakers for GM and Stellantis, Stellantis is like Chrysler Fiat, Jeep highlighting the broader economic repercussions.
Starting point is 00:05:53 It may have beyond Detroit, NAM president J. Timman emphasized that the strike would affect the integrated supply chain of small and medium-sized manufacturers across the country, impacting both union and non-union shops and adding to the economic pressures caused by high inflation. The potential economic consequences of an extended strike are significant with the estimates suggesting that a full shutdown of manufacturing operations at all three automakers for just 10 days could
Starting point is 00:06:19 cause the US economy $5.6 billion. Individual automakers face in production stoppages, could incur a weekly earning losses of, ready, $4 to $500 million. Tom, what is going on here? Well, the first thing is, I think Rob can probably find a chart somewhere on this. The whole UAW hasn't gone on strike yet. This is just a subset. 13,000 of them. Yes, this is the photo op. The members, all members, is 400,000. This is 13,000 going on a strike. So this is the photo op to say, we're freaking serious. And so here they come out for the photo op, but there's something else going on here.
Starting point is 00:06:52 It's not like the big three didn't see the contract negotiations coming. And it's not like the big three don't know that in 2009 everybody except Ford, a CEO at the time, Alan Malali, took US money. You're not eating at them. I hope I'm getting that right. I think I'm going to go back in the recession. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:08 And now, it's not like the big three didn't get some assistance during COVID. They did. And they've rebounded and made some good profits, moved over to EVs. So they saw this coming and maybe behind closed doors, they were trying to give something. Maybe they weren't.
Starting point is 00:07:25 But the UAW seems really pissed off, which is normally the way they wake up in the morning anyway. But to me, this is just the photo op. And yesterday the quote was, there could be more widespread impact of this. You saw that yesterday, what I've seen, what they're asking for. And have you seen what they are? Correct. Now comes the punchline Stalantis Chrysler claims that they were on that right as these pickets Were coming out the photo opus starting like the third day of it
Starting point is 00:07:53 Stalantis says we went in and offered 21% you know wage increase over I think 36 months They were like screw you we want 40% over was it over 136% over four years? I screw you, we want 40% over, was it over? They want 36% over four years. Four years. So Fort and GM offer 20%, the Lancaster 17 and a half, then they went to 21. Now they're asking for 36,
Starting point is 00:08:11 because they're asking 36, because the CEO made 34% increase in her salary over the last three or four years, and they want the similar growth for increase in their salary as the CEO got. So it's a little bit of a pickle on how they want because they're seeing what happened with with what he called it the UPS strike. How successful they were. Yeah. Great time to cap 100 grand driving a brown truck. That's right. And Biden said, Biden said,
Starting point is 00:08:36 I'm going to be the biggest pro union president of all time. And all these unions are seen as an opportunity to capitalize off of it because the next guy may not be a pro union guy. And Obama came out of hiding and goes up there and says, you know, they're making a lot of profits here. And I think it's time to give some of those back. And so he kind of threw a little, you know, bacon on the grease fire, you know, two days ago, where when he walked out.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And so, you know, there's something to be said, is there a blend line here? This is, hey, the auto industry bounced back a little bit, profits were up, you know, there's something to be said, is there a blend line here? This is, hey, the auto industry bounced back a little bit, profits were up, you know, is it time to negotiate this and do a little bit more for workers, especially at a time with high inflation? I think there is, but I also think that the UAW probably wasn't having any of it.
Starting point is 00:09:18 You could have made the best offer you wanted for them, and I think they were heading out to strike. Yeah, let me give a, I'm maybe a little more context. My dad's from Detroit. My family's from Detroit. Like I have family friends in the motor city, baby, I mean, you talk about the Big Three, when you, you know, I had to look
Starting point is 00:09:36 who the hell is to land this, because it's Ford, it's GM, and all of a sudden it's to land this. If you remember, they were a Dymler Chrysler, they merged and was, you know, part of a German company, Dymler Chrysler. They merged and was part of a German company, Dymler Chrysler, whatever, but that's the big three. And for many, many years, this was what made America tick. You know, starting with Henry Ford
Starting point is 00:09:53 and the initial card that he made, what is it called, the T, whatever was Model T? Model T, there it is. So here's why it has implications of what's going on. Because if you're out there and be like, dude, I don't get really give a shit about the United Auto workers, I've never even heard of these guys. Here's why it has implications of what's going on. Cause if you're out there and be like, dude, I don't get really give a shit about the United Auto workers, I'm never gonna hurt these guys. Here's why this matters.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Number one, it's gonna affect 2024 and the election. Why? Cause the, Patent, hit the nail on the head. Here's a main story from Wall Street Journal right now. U-A-W strike collides right with Biden's manufacturing agenda. So on one hand, Biden is very pro union, right? He's manufacturing agenda. So on one hand, Biden is very pro-union, right? He's pro-union, and at the other hand,
Starting point is 00:10:27 he's talking about bringing manufacturing back, specifically in the EV sector, right? You did a whole case study on Tesla, what's going on, China, competitive markets, what's going on with that. So where is the UAW located? Or where are these cars being built? Well, the rust belt, Michigan, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Pennsylvania, Ohio, these are what is known as battleground states in the election. I mean, 2008, 2012, they went Obama, 2016, they went Trump, 2020, they went back to Biden. This is arguably the most important part of the country when it comes to the electorate. So if you're like, I don't really give a shit about a car, whatever, it's going to affect the election. If you appease these people or not, especially the union.
Starting point is 00:11:14 So Biden, you know, he did everything with the Inflation Reduction Act, which was just sort of a mini-green new deal, if you recall that. That's kind of how they factor in that. And you also did the Chips Act. So this is all kind of part of the manufacturing situation that's going on in America. All right, now let's get down to like why this matters to you beyond politically.
Starting point is 00:11:37 So you hit the nail on the head there, they want I think 35, 40% raise over four years. They want a 32 hour work week, interesting. So they want to make more and work less. They don't want a 32, they want to work 32 hours but get paid for 40 hours. So it's not they want a 32 hour work week. They want to get paid for 40 hours for 32 hours.
Starting point is 00:11:59 By the way, you know what? So do I, sir. Crit here's the name. You know, that's like getting the great rate, that's like the great, the highest or highest, top of your money race. But here's where this comes down to supply and demand, right?
Starting point is 00:12:11 When we talk about raising the minimum wage, we talk about, you know, fight for 15, what happens if you pay these guys more, okay? So the car prices, if you've seen what's going on with the car prices, Pat, don't worry, I'm not gonna start advocating, everyone start ubering, but you should. Car prices since COVID have gone up 20, 25%.
Starting point is 00:12:29 The average car payment for a new car in 2019 was what? $550. Now it's $750. Gas is at an all time high, dealing with that, everything with Ukraine, whatever with that. Again, I guess. Again, so if you pay these guys more and they basically succumb to demands, how much more are they going to charge the consumers for cars and chips and auto and everything with that.
Starting point is 00:12:55 So it's a really slippery slope. Last point here, you talk about how much it's costing if they go on a 10-day strike. If it costs the economy, if they go economy, it costs $5 billion a day. That's 15 to 20 billion dollars a month that are we costing the economy, supply chain, trucks, drivers, everything that goes into that. But specifically, the auto industry could lose between 400 and 500 million a week.
Starting point is 00:13:22 That's $2 billion a month. And the auto industry makes up 3% of America's total GDP. Couple of things here. Very good points by the way, Rob. Can you pull up that chart? I sent you that I think Tom Hughes on a recent case study here. So private sector union membership
Starting point is 00:13:38 has declined sharply in the US. Look at this. 1972 Tom pointed out it was at 24.2% on the private sector. Right now it's at 6%. What% on the private sector, right now it's at 6%. What does this tell you? Americans are realizing, stay the hell out of my business union.
Starting point is 00:13:50 By the way, a couple things you've got to be thinking about outside of this. Why is this such a big deal? So this UAW was founded by this guy named Walter Reuter. If you don't know this guy's history, he was the president for like 24 years. And same guy, he's John F. Kennedy sent him to go negotiate with the Castro on the, you know, one of the hostages. LBJ leveraged the Sky Hardcore. Richard Nixon said the only way that John F. Kennedy won is by only a guy like this a
Starting point is 00:14:17 favor. This guy's like Jimmy Haffon steroids. Who this guy is Walter Reuter. He was killed. He would have two attempts on this assassination. He died on a plane crash. He's like a legit tough guy who was an incredible politician. If you hear him speak, you're gonna say, this guy could run for office.
Starting point is 00:14:33 He was that good at what he did. Walter Reuter, Reuter, you could pronounce him any different way. So here's what it gets technical. In the 88 years of this, you know, union being Iran, and remember, it's not just cars, it's 400,000 members, because it's many different industries that are a part of it. It's not just cars we're talking about,
Starting point is 00:14:52 it's, you know, automotive aerospace and other industries. So we say auto workers, but it's a massive union. Started small and now it's massive. In the 88 years, there's never been a time where these three companies have simultaneously been targeted by strike, never in 88 years. Simultaneously, it's not been GM, Ford, and Stellantis, you know, it's never happened before. So that's a big deal. Number two, a total of 61 plans have been announced that they're going to be shut down. 61, so you got GM saying 33 on their an idle plants, four's got 18 and you got Fiat Chrysler's gonna have another 10.
Starting point is 00:15:33 This is gonna affect around 50,000 jobs, give or take. The economy's gonna fill it. Now the good news bad news, what's the good news? The good news is the longest strike they've had in the recent years was in 2019, elested 40 days, okay? They're gonna have to figure out a way to negotiate. It's what's the bad news.
Starting point is 00:15:50 The bad news is, there's a guy named Bob Iger right now and there's another strike going on with writers, you know, what is an actor's guilt and actors that they've been going, I think writers Vincent's May 12th, which is almost four months, actors Vincent's July 14th or something, so that's two months. Bill Marwanda to bring his show back, I'm gonna bring you back, I'm not gonna bring you back, it's not gonna be as good.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Writers are gonna be a drew very more one through which he's going through. And then UPS got what they got, with the whole salary, they're gonna make $100,000 to be a driver. So again, they're capitalizing today. The pressure is all on one party and one individual right now. Okay, the party is the Democratic party and the individual is Joe Biden. Yesterday, Stephen King tweeted something out. If you can go on Twitter, I retweeted this guy.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yesterday he said the following. Here's what he said yesterday on Twitter. Stephen King the writer. Stephen King the writer. Just go to my second tweet. If you go go up, go go they go down a little bit, go down a little bit, right there zoom in right there. His tweet is Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors makes 29 million here. I retweet it and I say Stephen King, the King of Horror, as estimated net worth of 500 million. Okay. So here's a guy that's a socialist worth a half a billion dollars talking shit about
Starting point is 00:17:07 another girl. Female. Female CEO of a Fortune 500 company making 29 million dollars a year, which by the way, could flip them for making their money. Good. Here's a crazy thing to be thinking about. One of the reasons why I respected this guy in Bob and Moshe, AIG CEO, I was there when these guys went to the government and asked for $183 billion.
Starting point is 00:17:26 When AIG was about to go out of business, the American international group, the most hated company in America in 2009, 2010, it was so bad that they would tell us when you're selling insurance, don't say AIG, say American general, don't use our logo, that's how bad it was. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Bob and Moshe comes in. We're in Chicago at the Ritz-Kerleton, I believe. We're having dinner. It's David Herzog, the CFO of AIG, who used to be the CFO, I believe, of American general. Anyways, but he was the CFO of AIG. If you type in David Herzog, CFO, you'll see, God was making very good money. They come in, they asked for $183 billion from the government. This guy's got three years left to live, Bob and Moshe. He's on his deathbed, living at his vineyard in Croatia, the brovnik, used to be the former CEO of MetLife, okay? What ends up happening?
Starting point is 00:18:20 He comes back, they take the 183, they end up paying the 183 back and 21 billion dollars of interest, give or take. And then he dies. The announcement was made at an award ceremony of ours on a Friday night time. I don't know if you remember that. I remember it very well. Mark got up and he said, got some bad news for you. Bob Ben Moshe has just died, but his legacy lives on. So the part where Stephen A King, Stephen King, has a point is GM never paid the taxpayers back. And she's still making $29 million a year. So Socialist is trying to make a point,
Starting point is 00:18:54 but unfortunately the point where he's right is the fact that the people that got money from the government, those are the same guys that haven't paid back, but AIG ended up paying back, and that guys are true capitalists. There's a bunch of things going on here with UAW. What's going to end up happening here is there's a lot on the line with politics. I don't think this is going to go that long. I think they're going to figure this thing out fairly quickly. I think 20% they're asking for 36%. You got to know what this means. If you're making $100,000
Starting point is 00:19:20 you know what you're going to go to $136. If you're making $30 an hour, you're gonna go to $42 an hour, $41 an hour, they give you to $36. They'll eventually figure it out, unlike Hollywood where they're not cave in, these guys will eventually have to cave. Let me just give you, you hit the nail in the head with how much money they're making.
Starting point is 00:19:39 You know, the biggest, potentially, who can reap the benefits of all this is none other than our friend Elon Musk at Tesla. Why? Because they're not union. You did the whole thing at the CEO meeting of what we're gonna do the meetings. Is it union?
Starting point is 00:19:53 Is it not union? It was a very interesting dynamic. Here's how much the average worker gets paid in each of these companies. Ready? So this is according to the Securities Exchange Commission, the SEC Gary Gensler out there. So the average pay for a GM worker, 80 grand a year for GM. The average pay for
Starting point is 00:20:12 a Ford worker, 75 grand a year. Stellantis Chrysler, 68 grand a year. So those are the big three. So you're making between 68 and 80. So I'll call it 70 to 80 grand. Interesting. According to the SEC, you know how much it 70 to 80 grand. Interesting, according to SEC, how much the average Tesla worker makes? How much? Half of that, 34 grand. 34 grand, so when you talk one, and now part of that is because they have factories in China
Starting point is 00:20:36 and Elon Musk has been sort of avoiding, you know, unionized and what, right to work states, that's a whole nother conversation at's on that, but this is all part of the government mandated EV agenda, the EV race, what's going on with China, the US, you did a whole thing about it, but it's very interesting and it has mammoth vacations on your car and the politics. By the way, I wanna wrap it up with this
Starting point is 00:21:00 and gotta go to the next story because we're at 24 minutes in and we're at one story. Last thing I'll tell you about, you know what what's the close you know what a union leader, a mother-in-law and lawyers haven't come in union leaders mother-in-law and lawyers haven't come in. Let me give you perspective. Mother-in-law comes in. Wife is there.
Starting point is 00:21:20 She's spending time with the mother-in-law Husbands at work and she says, you know I Don't know about Larry. He doesn't work as hard as Johnny does your sister's husband works very hard And Larry's not a hard worker and I don't appreciate what Larry does I think Larry should treat you better That bag you have the coach why doesn't he buy you a Louis Vuitton because Johnny does oh my god I hate this my wife, the wife of a city there. And then the husband comes home. And when the husband comes home,
Starting point is 00:21:49 I'm like, hey babe, how you doing? Why am I doing? What do you think I was doing? I'll be cleaning the house, taking care of the kids. What kind of a husband are you? Why can't you give me the person that Louis Vuitton like Johnny does?
Starting point is 00:22:02 And the husband's like, what are you talking about, bro? That happens. So long as they, I want to deal with this thing. What are you talking about, babe? Louis back.

Starting point is 00:22:32 Then you realize, here's the future bride, here's the future groom. They're about to get married. All of a sudden you realize the lawyers are in the same team. Your lawyer's not on your team. Her lawyer's not on her team. The lawyers are on each other's team. Why? Because here's what they do. A wink. Let's start a fight. 22 additional hours times 400 bucks. Boom. I'm sorry. You got an $11,200 bill. It was supposed to be $3,000, but you know, you fought for those miles and you fought for all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:59 So it's not $11,000. So what does union leaders do? Hey, stop there. What your boss is doing? Not fair that they're doing what they're doing. Think about what they're doing. I have a horrible boss. Yeah. This is such a horrible situation. I mean, boom, all of a sudden, shit, the union leader is your mother-in-law. That's what's going on with these union leaders. So when you when you think about their job is to divide, okay, you when you when you think about many of the politicians on the games they're playing,
Starting point is 00:23:28 their job is to divide and then they conquer and then they come in and say, hey, hey Mr. Union leader, I know you're so worried about us and I'm having a hard time paying a membership. Pay the membership, but we're gonna take care of you because we care about you.
Starting point is 00:23:41 But as long as you pay the membership and the portion inside, but we care about you and as long as, but you gotta pay the membership, can I go get another job? Because I really need to, you can't get another job. Well, no, you can't get another job because you know, we have to be loyal to one another.
Starting point is 00:23:54 But I need to go start a show because I'm a talent. And if I don't create comedy, I don't work. What do I do? You gotta be loyal to the union. You gotta be good to the union. You know, if something happens here, that's what's going on with the union. You know what happens here? That's what's going on with the union.
Starting point is 00:24:06 You know what they need by the way? And we'll wrap up. They need the two arbitrators from the wedding crash. They got to get Vince going and they got to throw some miles this way. You shut your mouth when you're talking to be going to comb a toast for me. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story. All right, a timeline of sexual assault allegations against Russell Brin. Here we go. Speaking of pre-actuals. Here we go. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:24:28 The next one is here. Next target, folks. It's called guilty until proven innocent. Modern day, they've evolved. They used to be innocent until proven guilty. Now it's guilty until proven innocent. So where's the story here? It's okay. Okay, we go 2006. This is a guardian story. 2006, a woman alleges that Russell Brandt sexually assault her during a three-month relationship when she was 16 years old. And Brandt was 30 years old, was a BBC radio presenter.
Starting point is 00:24:53 She described him as controlling and emotional abuse. If she said he referred to her as the child and advised her to lie to her parents leading to allegations of grooming. That's 2006, in London, okay? 2007, Jordan Martin claims, brand sexually assaulted her and was physically an emotionally abusive during a six-month relationship.
Starting point is 00:25:12 She detailed an incident at a Manchester hotel where brand became angry and assaulted and Martin published these allegations in a book in 2014 which brand has never challenged. 2012. Woman alleges that brand raped her at his Los Angeles home in July of 2012. She claimed he blocked her from leaving and apologized via text message afterwards. She received therapy treatment
Starting point is 00:25:32 but decided against pursuing legal action. 2013, a woman who met brand at an alcoholics anonymous meeting accuses him of sexually assaulting her at his LA home. She claimed he tried to kiss her and remove her clothes. And was she resisted? He shouted at her and later threatened her with legal action if she spoke at 2020. The woman who alleged sexual assault during her underage relationship with brand contacted his literary agent who denied the allegations brand talent agency.
Starting point is 00:25:58 A tavis stock would initially supported him, but later terminated all professional ties with them stating they were misled twenty twenty three a joint investigation by the time sunday times in channel four dispatches detailed multiple allegations against brand he denied the claims in a video posted online which got seventy million views asserting that all his relationships were consensuals and accusing the media of coordinated attack adam
Starting point is 00:26:20 yeah well where have i've seen this playbook before? Who have we done some interviews with that, you know, made a major name for themselves, was talking about the Matrix, was talking about, does it rhyme with Brand-Ju Great? It does, yeah, this reminds me eerily. Weird. Of what happened with Andrew Tate, but by the way,
Starting point is 00:26:39 this is the playbook, ladies and gentlemen, you know, if you speak against the narrative, if you speak against whether it's big pharma or as Alex Jones, there's the globalists in the new world, new world order. Yeah, this is what they do, right? So, you know, we'll probably discuss a story
Starting point is 00:26:54 about how they try to assassinate RFK Jr. That was the old school playbook, whether it's RFK or Bobby Kennedy or Martin Luther King, they just full on kill you. Now it's character assassination. We've talked about this a million times on the podcast. But what's interesting about me is all these allegations, allegations,
Starting point is 00:27:14 anonymous people, they're from 15 years ago. They didn't want to bring this up 15 years ago. All of a sudden, Relsal Brand, I think he's got like what, six million YouTube subscribers. You did his show a couple of weeks ago, I want to say, right? Was that what you just got suspended on by the way, Adam, he can't make no money when you're not here today. This morning, this morning, actually, yeah, this is what they do, guys.
Starting point is 00:27:35 He's been demonetized. There's two things. First of all, to Adam's point, these things happened 15 years ago, and let's not forget, in between the 15 years when these accusations happened today, there was a giant movement in the United States called the me to win. Correct. Every where it was believe all women. Yeah. And these women failed to come out then. And my favorite is yesterday Newsweek publishes this story. Jimmy Fallon failed to stop Russell Brand harassing Catherine McFee. This is yesterday. This is an old video from a tonight
Starting point is 00:28:01 show appearance appearance. Same day, Catherine McFee, Denyze Russell Brand made her feel uncomfortable on tonight show appearance. So you have one outlet repeating that it's uncomfortable and making your feel sexualized and then another news outlet going, no, there's nothing wrong here. Yeah, and I think it's two major news outlets that have been going after them. It's the Times and then Channel 4, both I think and Britain right there, but this is what's happening right now. And at the same time, there's someone going to be watching this. It's like, well, what happens if he did it?
Starting point is 00:28:28 What happens if he did it? Okay, prove it. Yeah. You know, whether it's Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby, yeah, there are some legitimate scumbags out there. Less men. But yeah, what we've also learned is that, no, it's not believe all women or don't trust all men.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It's a very nuanced individual situation. And Russell Brand, who has publicly said, yeah, dude, I was out there. I was a Hollywood movie star. I'm with a bunch of checks. Thousands of women. Yeah, like thousands, not like your average. When you have, this is my opinion, come at me. When you have that much access to women and celebrity and fun, you don't
Starting point is 00:29:07 need to rape and pillage like you're some dirt bag. And so, and he doesn't strike me as a type of person who is like, power hungry, he speaks truth to power. And not condoning this or whatever, it's just, it is what it is. It's 16 years old Pat is the age of consent in England. Let's just, I'm not sticking up for that. That's not my that's my bag. Do you know where it also is the age of consent? What? In 35 states in America. Yeah. Did you know that? I thought it was 18 and over in every single state because Florida, and I'm not could donate hanging out with a 16 year old. But you know, in New York, it's actually 16. California, it's 18. Every state, 75% is in America. United
Starting point is 00:29:48 States, America is 16. That's Florida. It's a lot of seniors. It's 40. Florida's 40, 41. Yeah, but yeah, but I just, I think we have a problem, especially when people say, that's a joke. I don't know. Yeah, that's a joke. That's not, you know, that's against my rules. The 40 plus crack. Come on, man. I'm sick and tired of hearing innocent and improving guilty because that's in the public
Starting point is 00:30:06 eye, you're guilty. And the fact that I saw this me, this new stand in England, everything is all going after him. And I don't care what anybody says, path right now, right now on all the magazines. It showed Patrick's face and said, rape accuser. He's a rapist. That's it. I don't care what you're going to say. And like you said, we saw with Brett Kavanaugh, we saw with Julian Assange, who's rotting away in a prison
Starting point is 00:30:28 because they're telling us the truth. Andrew Tate said, welcome to the club, he goes, they don't like competition. There's one must see I'd walk out. They don't like he's being targeted by a coordinating media attack for his right-wing criticism. And Tucker said, criticized the drug companies and questioned the war in Ukraine and you could be pretty sure that this is gonna happen. And mind you, this documentary for Tom, out of the five women are in the shadows. This revealing crazy documentary which just so happens to be ready to go to make money.
Starting point is 00:30:55 And it's like, you're sitting in the shadows. It's hard, if you can't see the person's face, it's hard to see their truth. Like I wanna see who's talking. It's like all these anonymous whistleblowers. They're like, no, no, you can't see them, but trust us behind this door. There's people saying that you did what you did.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I, again, I don't know because I wasn't there. Let it, let it all come out, but it's just, it's just weird that all this happens. Once you start speaking the truth and pat, I think I mentioned this to you yesterday. You're not really poking the bear unless this happens. He's saying he's affecting their wallets. He's messing with Big Pharma and they just hit one little switch.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Boom. That's it. He the big lock. They love them a few years ago when he was a liberal playboy. He called Katie Hawkins a hit. He called her Hitler. He formed into a thing called Hitler. He's like, oh, he's so cool. Ayo, not the shirt.
Starting point is 00:31:46 You know, he's just like my always, but not the shirt. Right, but you know, question becomes, how about this guy named Skofield, who worked for BBC? Oh, he's dealing with mental issues. He's having problems. It's just so challenging with all the pressure. He's got a deal.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And he was messing with Dittling kids who run a 16 year old boy, but his mom is upset and he's going, oh no, no BBC. Okay. And then you got this huge Edwards guy, paying, I don't know if you've read the story, you've had words what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:32:14 No, but life is challenging for those guys. But God forbid Russell Brandt comes on and says what he said, they're gonna be targeting the guy. Again, if he's done what he's done, the lawyers gotta do their jobs, but you gotta prove. My biggest problem here is the following. Is the jump to conclusion society that we're living in right now,
Starting point is 00:32:32 before anybody is accused of it being right or wrong, immediately boom, allegations, nope, they're guilty. We did this with politics in 2016, where somebody was, you know, claimed he had been Russia collusion for three years and everybody bought into it and we had believed with tape, what's going on? Believe with so many different people.
Starting point is 00:32:51 This doesn't mean it can't be true. We just can't jump to conclusion, believe in everything. But when Dick, when a guy like him goes out there and has loudest he is, has been hook enough for as long as he has, all of a sudden, he calls out a few people. Beautiful target. You wanna know what's crazy?
Starting point is 00:33:08 Why don't you hear these types of allegations come out against someone like Dan Bill's Aryan, right? Or even Leonardo DiCaprio. Does anybody get more asked than those two guys? But here's the difference. They stay in their lane. They don't say anything very good. Leo is a huge advocate of animals, and the green energy, and that's great,
Starting point is 00:33:28 that he's Hollywood. So as long as he's in speaker against any narrative, so are you saying like Russell should do a video with animals? He should pet like a black guy. Not a sexual video. He should pet a tiger. You even look at someone like Dan Bilzerian. That guy does two things.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Tries to make money, and he tries to hook up, you know, do his thing. But once you start talking about the things that Roussel Brand talks about, that Andrutate talks about, that Alex Jones talks about, whether you think it's right or wrong, when you start talking about these things, by the way, the people paying the bills up top, they're gonna come out.
Starting point is 00:34:01 You know who wins here? Two companies. X and rumble. That's who wins here. 1000 for two companies. You demon who wins here? Two companies. X and rumble. That's who wins here. 1000 for two companies. You demonetize the sky to companies when X and rumble. Let's talk about an economy story. Bolbear's lover owns gay friendly Aspen Bar. Bobear? Is that what you're calling it?
Starting point is 00:34:17 Bobear? Bobear? Is it Bobear? Can I pronounce the way I pronounce these words? Or do I have to do it like? No, you have a lot of time. All the words you pronounce, first of all, years in our midst. Is this the story of her going to, or is this the story that I'm telling?
Starting point is 00:34:34 Yeah, so they go to the top. Believe all women before you even say this story. Lauren would never lie. Lauren Bobaer, a Republican representative is romantically involved with Quinn Gallagher, the co-owner of Hooch, Kraft Cocktailbar and Aspen, known for hosting drag shows. Boberat, previously critical of a drag, was captured engaging in public affection with Gallagher, who profits from drag performances. She comments on drag, including tweets tweets like take your children to church,
Starting point is 00:35:05 not to drag bars, video footage from a theater outing in Denver, showed Quinn, Gallagher, fondling Lawrence, breast, which ignited controversy. Initially denying the claims, she later attributed her behavior to her public and difficult divorce. And this shit on apology saying the past few days have been very difficult and humbling. And issued an apology saying the past few days have been very difficult and humbling, and I'm truly sorry. The incident at the theater involved the disruptive behavior, behavior vaping and recording,
Starting point is 00:35:32 the show leading to police involvement. First of all, I don't know if you know this or not, speaking of her, she's single as of this morning. She broke up with that guy, so low on the list. That's, look at the first of all. What a boy. What a boy. They're that guy solo. What? Yes, that's look at look at the first of all. She dude, what a fun girl. They're getting.
Starting point is 00:35:47 What is? Listen, but got mind you though. This is in the dark. Is he rubbing her? Yeah, she's grabbing his quad ball. No, straight eyes. That actually what happened real Adam. That's real.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Is this your first time seeing it? That's your first time. I saw her vaping. I don't know. But here's the thing. Hey, Lauren, if you're listening, I'm on the market. Oh, man. I'm a big fan of your politics. But listen, so I just find it funny that this whole ordeal pat and like we just saw it.
Starting point is 00:36:11 It's recorded on multiple night vision cameras. CNN, they contact CNN immediately. All right, it's a big, big story. But you know what? When it comes to the West Wing outside the situation room, they find a big bag of booger sugar. Guess what? No cameras.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Nobody knows what's going on. Nobody knows what's going on. Like shit. So theater has better camera equipment than the White House. That makes a lot of sense. They had nine cents. And they've got, they've got infrared, so you can see people at night and everything like this.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Yeah, and it's not the White House, though. Yeah, no, there's old blurry cameras. Anytime is the White House or like Epstein's prison cell, there's no, they weren't working that day or nothing work. I thought about it. If she should have brought Hunter Biden with her, this one, you never would have seen anything. None of this would have been seen by the idea.
Starting point is 00:36:57 But she's bad. I'm not gonna, let's just be honest. She just got divorced. I think she has four or five kids. Rob, same with you. Really? She's a little hotty and she has fun. She's vaping, grabbing boobs.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I'm that, listen, Lauren, I'm single. So I'm gonna mess with you on Instagram. Hey, I love her. She's fun. I love the, what are the chances that Hunter Biden's in her DMs? He's probably in there right now. He's loving the fun. What are the chances saying?
Starting point is 00:37:20 That guy doesn't know how to party like I do. You know my kind of let's go do something to him. Yeah, and guess what? There's no camera. Don't be amateur. Don't be amateur. Am I right here? What do you Tom? What do you think about this?
Starting point is 00:37:29 Honestly, what do you think about it? It's all the jokes aside. So all the jokes aside, I think there's another side to this. And that is she knows that she is writing the third rail. And for those of you that don't know the subway, that's one of the electricity, the dangerous one. She's right next to the third rail every time she makes a speech in Washington because she is number one was anti-establishment, number two was conservative, and number three. She's writing the third rail. She's like an
Starting point is 00:37:54 inch from the third rail. She was an inch away from it. Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. That's important. I don't use to go there. What is a third rail? Break it down from the third rail. The third rail is the third real. Third guy. If someone falls off a subway, and you got to reach down and you scream at them, don't touch the third rail. So one in the middle where they're going to touch it. Should not have touched it. Touch the town.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And so what this is is you're a congresswoman. You got to know with your background and what you stand for that they are looking for you to trip and to do anything and to not say thank you when you hold the door open. Honestly, does this hurt her political? One million percent. Absolutely. I guess it does.
Starting point is 00:38:36 This is not good. If I was on her team, I would be saying Lauren, what are you doing? They're looking for you in every moment. Can I put you to devil's advocate? You just gave them three things. I know you want to go out and have a good time and you're getting divorces and a new boyfriend. I get it.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Lauren, but you don't have to put yourself in a position where you're giving them ammunition. You want to be the third rail now? Go ahead. What's your what's you? What's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's your what's, what's you? So you say this hurts her career. Why? How is any of this helpful? She's, she's number one full online. 1000 votes.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Okay. Okay. But that's, that's, that's politics, though. No, I'm politics inside. By the way, rock keeps playing this. Are you playing this for us or for yourself? Rock, you show your hands, but I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,
Starting point is 00:39:23 these are pants. Out of the hell. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob.
Starting point is 00:39:39 I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. I'm going to give Rob. active congresswomen, okay? At the same time Vinnie, she's also 36 with four kids. She's 36 on 40 day away. She's doing her right now, Pat. Huge Vinnie.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I'm not, I'm not ready to be a step down for her. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm messaging her right now. But she's in Colorado, which has gone from red to purple to full on blue these days. She's in a red district. That's the reason she's got elected. But this doesn't help her. So she was asked, number one, this happened at the Beetlejuice situation.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Have you never seen the movie Beetlejuice? Oh, the musical. Yeah, the musical of the reanactment. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Yeah, great movie. Michael Keaton, amazing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. But she was accused of vaping. Some lady behind her was apparently pregnant,
Starting point is 00:40:24 was like, hey, can you stop vaping? She's like, yeah, I do what I wanna do, whatever. Allegedly, she was like, no, I wasn't vaping. She's like, it was the fog machines. It's like, no, clearly you're vaping. You lied. You caught you in a lie, not a good look. And we all know politicians lie, but this is on camera.
Starting point is 00:40:41 But then she was asked to leave for whatever. She was taking selfies, middle of the night. They kicked her out and she gave the classic, don't you know who I am thing? And they go, no, we know exactly who you are. Representative Bobaer, Bobaert. And you get that hat out of here. She flipped up the middle finger.
Starting point is 00:41:03 It's drama, this isn't a good look. But look, if you're a public figure, you obviously have the entitled to your private life. I get it. But when you're giving handies, vaping, getting your titties rubbed at a public venue. In the dark, it's pitch black. She doesn't think people are recording her and then they're calling CNN. So you're saying that she should be doing that because it's dark? No, no, what I'm saying is.
Starting point is 00:41:25 She shouldn't be doing that. No, what I'm saying is, I get the vaping triggered them to watch, but dude, multiple cameras, it's not like, by the way, we're watching it, like Pat said, this is in night vision. Nobody is seeing it. I understand the point. Yeah, you know, you know, who has night vision cameras? Every theater because it's always at dark. Except the white house.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Except the white house. Except the white house. But Adam white house. Except the white house. But Adam, here's the thing. Well played. She's getting fans, the younger crowd, the younger guys, or definitely going to be fans and guess what? They're going to be trying to slide in her DMs. I just message her.
Starting point is 00:41:55 No. Here's the thing. And Adam, that's yours. And even if it doesn't work out, you know what the beauty about today and this culture is, she could go to only fans and she would make a killing after this. That is probably what her future is. That's well God bless. You think so, but wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:42:08 You think so. If she gets on the point, you think she's done done. I don't. Well, I don't want to. When is she up for reelection? I don't. She's a representative. So it's every two years.
Starting point is 00:42:18 So yeah, mate, you're right. Coming up for reelection. She is absolutely a pubic figure, a public figure and 62 year old child over here. I love it and She won the last election by less than a thousand votes. Yeah, so it's not like it's not like she's Teddy Kennedy in Boston Yeah, you're gonna get 82% of the book every time pack. There's a lot going on here Pack you tell Rob to put his pants on like it's gotten to the point when I came and looked at computer We all know that I think what's the percentage of political ads that are negative? She won by more than 26,500 votes. Oh, nearly retained her seat against
Starting point is 00:42:52 the Republican ledges and they're only retain her seat against the red challenger. By few than 600 total. Oh, wow. I think she's in a game. That was the election. That was the reelection. Wow. Point is it's a close. And we all know that I think 75% of political ads are negative. Look what Donald Trump did. Yeah. Joe Biden's falling apart. Like it's all negative, dude. You know, you spend a million bucks on ads showing her given a handy during Beetlejuice.
Starting point is 00:43:17 It wasn't a handy. It was a rubby. What else? It wasn't. It's not a good look. It's unbecoming of office. I'm sorry, but I messaged her and I'll wait for it. She's unbecoming of office. I'm just kidding. But I messaged her and I'm going for a ride.
Starting point is 00:43:26 She's like, what's up? You up? Anyway, this is a, I'm a fan, Lord. But listen, Lord and I'm a fan. Even though she lied about this clearly, you gotta believe all women. You damn right. Okay, all right, next story.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Next story we go here. What is the woman? What do you want to go to next? You want to go to AOC or you want to go to, and all of us who's Zelensky? Guys, Zelensky went and met up with his private equity camp to raise the money. He's coming in to collect his money from the PE firm.
Starting point is 00:43:49 It's not BlackRock, it's not State Street, it's not Vanguard, it's called the White House. Nice. Zelenski, to meet US senators, would Ukraine aid under threat? So in other words, he's coming to say, you haven't paid your debt. What are we waiting for? Ukraine and President Zelensky is set to meet with the top US Senate leaders including Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell during his visit to Washington
Starting point is 00:44:13 the meeting is aimed to securing renewed commitments from the US to assist Ukraine and its effort to regain territory occupied by Russia. The meeting in Congress comes as House Republicans are preparing to block a Biden administration request for an additional $24 billion in Ukraine aid with a deadline of September 30 at 40 and that a fiscal year conservative hardliners in the House have threatened a government shutdown of the budget deal includes more aid to Ukraine's Alinsky has been vocal about Ukraine's need for additional weaponry emphasizing the importance of modern system and
Starting point is 00:44:43 rest rest restoring the country's territorial integrity. So he's coming in other words to say, I need more money, pay up if you don't, you know, this is going to hurt you because your people are going to have to come and fight and your kids are going to come and have to fight and he's going to use the guilt tactic to get people to want to pay the money to it. So Tom, what are you things going to end up happening here with this Zelensky visit? Well, there's two things that are coming together
Starting point is 00:45:06 and you mentioned one of them. We have another debt deal. That's right, just that quick, we have another debt deal. And they made, and Zelensky's, I think there's nefarious things going on here. You just send money, not arms. Why don't you just send money that's been turned into weapons? But instead, we're sending all this aid. And it sure doesn't send money that's been turned into weapons? I mean, but instead
Starting point is 00:45:25 we're sending all this aid. And it sure doesn't look like it's getting to the people. I think number one, this is, this is exactly what Kevin McCarthy needed. One of the things because he's got to get the debt deal on. By the way, the US just crossed like in the last week, 33 trillion a day, so we went 33. And since our great legislators, our congressmen representing us, since the debt ceiling Christless and the deal they made, they've managed to keep that credit card down to one trillion per month.
Starting point is 00:46:02 And over the last five years, they've added 11.5 trillion. So 33% of the 33 trillion have been added in just the last five years since they made a debt deal for the rest of us. And I think the newer debt deals, they just, they gotta have some leverage. And all this is, is Kevin McCarthy saying,
Starting point is 00:46:18 I'm gonna get what I want in there, and this isn't necessarily gonna bring the debt down. I'm gonna get what I want in there. So Lence is gonna get some of this. The Biden administration is gonna make sure he gets some of this, but it means McCarthy is also gonna get stuff that his side wants. And once again, the can gets kicked down the road
Starting point is 00:46:35 on the American taxpayer. But is it just ridiculous? Like we've created a monster. The guy, his country's in war right now, right? He's flying here because we said, hey, we're going to give you money. The guy's flying you to be like, this, hey, listen, I know you said you were giving me this gift, where the hell is it? You understand like where we've gotten in our country, Tom, we're a president of a different
Starting point is 00:46:57 country that we said, yeah, we're going to give you money at some point. But one side is saying, now we can't afford it right now. You're getting on a plane that come here to be like, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, can't stand that. Is that, and not just, by the way, you know, you know what it is. It's kind of like when you have money and you go restaurant with your friends and everybody expects you to get to bill. Exactly. It's like when you're, you go out with your family members, a family members come to
Starting point is 00:47:16 and say, you have the money, why don't you pay for it? It's like three siblings. The sister makes the most money. She's an executive. She got a degree. Mbh, she makes 280 a year. The other two siblings, younger brothers, they're not really workers. One a degree, MBA, she makes 280 a year, the other two siblings, younger brothers, they're not really workers, one makes one, 21, one makes 60.
Starting point is 00:47:28 They say, hey sister, since you're the CEO of XYZ company, you make all the money, mom just died, you paid for the funeral cost, you have all the money, we don't, it's an entitled attitude to come and demand money. It's as if he has something on somebody in the White House to say, you better pay up or else. It's as if not as if I think it's purely as if so there's a part of it that makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Go ahead. Let me give a little perspective here because by the way, when do you think this is going to come to a head? Well, he's coming next week. No, no, like this entire situation with with Ukraine. January of 2025 if there's a president. Correct. Correct. This is not getting resolved in the next three, six months. We talk about the culture wars that's going on in America.
Starting point is 00:48:14 That's going to be hot-button issues during the election. Abortion, LGBT, trans, everything, critical race. This is actual wars. And the American people are gonna have a vote because you're gonna assume that Biden is gonna double down on this. Obviously, if he makes it to the debate stage of this is why we need to be here,
Starting point is 00:48:34 this is what we gotta protect NATO, we gotta protect democracies, you can't just invade countries, there's gonna be a narrative, no doubt. And then Trump, I'm assuming, is gonna say, I could fix this in one day. There would be no war without me. Putin's my guy. Like, you know, he's gonna give obviously
Starting point is 00:48:51 a completely different narrative. And the American people, rightfully so, are gonna have the ability to decide, do you want to keep giving money to Ukraine or not? But it's not just money. It's three things, because we actually robbed, shout out to you, did some research. This is actually as of this summer,
Starting point is 00:49:07 so it might be a couple of months old, but United States by far and away has given the most to Ukraine. You talk about the big three auto. Here are the big three ways that countries, not just the United States have donated money. Invested. Exactly invested.
Starting point is 00:49:24 So it's military, financial, and humanitarian. So 60% of the United States have done has been military aid, 30% financial and 10% humanitarian. But listen, it's as much as it is a White House issue, it's not like United States is just funding this alone. Combined, the EU, UK, Germany, Japan, Canada, Poland, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, France, Italy, Finland, Czech Republic, Austria, Spain, Slovakia, South Korea, Lithuania, and Belgium have all given massive amounts.

It's of money whether it's in military, financial, or humanitarian. So this is not just a US thing, but it should be for us, but it's also the EU and everyone across the globe. That's why you should give the most. You should give the most.
Starting point is 00:51:24 They're not. Why should we give the most. They're not. Why should we give the most? Well, I think as we all know with NATO, it's a percentage of GDP. There is a, I'm not saying that it's right or wrong. We have the second highest percentage that we give. And at the same time, America's got a bunch of shit that we're dealing with. We have to make that a priority. Now, we're giving, we're giving this guy stage time to come to us and say, I need more money. What do you mean? We're giving you more stage time to come and
Starting point is 00:51:48 back for more money. How much more money do you need to give? What else do you want to send to you? While our military gets weaker, while we have planes that are flying around with a pilot as ejected and we're getting a mess of saying, by the way, if you guys find any debris, just let us go because we can't find any more military in the world. You don't know what those are, because we can't find a word. We're not right. It's Mediterranean. The world. You don't know. We're going to go to the full. We are come to us. Well, there's a top secret plane in your backyard. Don't touch it.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Call this number. Unbelievable. Right. It's like, Hey, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're definitely showing the world how strong we are with what we got going on. But hey, if you don't give me more money, where is your humanitarian? We're going through such struggles in Ukraine is what we need more money.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Okay. All right. Little bit. Yes. A struggles in Ukraine is what we need more money. Okay. All right. Little bit. Yes. A lot of money. We've given you plenty. How much more do we need to give? I kind of like the fact they're trying to hold back a little bit.
Starting point is 00:52:33 You're good. On the amount of money they want to give. And you know, support's been given plenty for you to keep coming and then using like your, you know, all these other tactics. I'm just not a fan of a guy. What do you still want? I know we need to move on. But look, for me, it's not zero or 100.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Okay, like Candace Owens, I love that conversation that we had with Candace last Thursday. It was amazing. She's like zero, nothing, zilch. That's not happening. That's them. Like f them whatsoever. Then it's like, what's the slippery slope with that?
Starting point is 00:53:05 If China invades Taiwan, we do nothing. You know, God forbid there's another world where we do nothing. Are we non-interventionists? Are we completely libertarian? That approach? Or are we policing the world, involved with everybody,
Starting point is 00:53:18 850 bases around the world? 780. 780. Okay, so like, which one is it? There needs to be some nuance here. And at the end of the day, the American80, 780. Okay, so like which one is it? There needs to be some nuance here. And at the end of the day, the American people, the American people, American people are gonna make this decision.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Are do you wanna be more involved? Do you wanna be less involved? Let's go to the next one. We can't just have a blank check for this. Like I'm gonna say. Let's go to the next story. Manor rested and suspected assassination attempt at RFK Junior event posing posing if you can play this video
Starting point is 00:53:46 wrap so people can see it while I'm reading this it'd be great RFK demanded secret service protection from President Biden after an armed gunman posing as security team members was arrested at an event just two miles from the site of his father's assassination in 1960 it says father's assassination in 1968 the armed suspect carrying a loaded pistols and a US martial batch attempted to approach rfk during a Hispanic heritage month event in LA quick thinking security personnel from Gavin the becker and associate gdba detained the man until lapd arrived to make the arrest rfk junior who is a long shot for the 2024 democratic nomination expressed frustration with you, White House for denying his earlier requests
Starting point is 00:54:26 for secret service protection, saying I'm the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection, Vinnie, what else you got on this floor? Well, first of all, Pat, what are we, what are we, as a law enforcement, anybody out there that's law enforcement, Pat I'm pretty sure you know this,
Starting point is 00:54:42 why aren't you disarming the guy? He has two guns under his armpits, okay? They're not taking away his guns. They're not, he's posing as a US Marathon. Is that him right there? That's him right there, bro. And what he was dressed as a US Marathon? As a US Marathon.
Starting point is 00:54:54 And it boggles my mind. Oh shit, look at he's got the whole badge in there. Oh yeah, but he just, I know, 100% he went for it. And here's my thing. How is this not a huge story or even bigger? Because say what you want, Adam, this is an assassin. Why is this guy trying to get close to him?
Starting point is 00:55:11 I had people from Cali that are like, how do you know he was just not trying to get close to, I go protect what? He has two guns. You know what his motive is, okay? That's one thing. The second thing, not only was his uncle murdered, assassinated, and we're finding out what the CIA had involvement. His father was two miles away, and it's like, the guy's begging, RFK's begging, he goes, I'm still entertaining the hope that Joe Biden,
Starting point is 00:55:36 they'll give me secret service protection. And just a little fun fact, I'll give you guys, normally the agency protects major candidates for president and vice president within 120 days of the election. Ironically, these measures were put in place after they killed Robert Kennedy. Obama was the first presidential candidate in history to receive secret service protection almost two years prior, two years he had had it. The fact that they're denying it to me, the average person that says, what, you don't, you just don't care. And I, Pat, I sent this clip to Rob of JFK going into his motorcade right
Starting point is 00:56:10 before he was assassinated. There's two secret service guys, the main detail guys, Pat there on the back, the agent in charge, Amry Roberts, waves off to the most important bodyguards. And he's obviously confused about it. Yeah, Rob, you could fast forward just to touch. Like you could tell Pat that this guy, Adam, was not in on the don't run next to the motor key. Look at this. You put the volume up. Look at this guy. This guy, look, that is up until this instant. He's supposed to run to protect the back. Look, he's like, what? Yeah, let him play one more time. Like, he's like, wait a minute. And now he's going to go and he gets assassinated. Those two guys are important to block bullets coming from the back.
Starting point is 00:56:48 He stopped running. Yeah, watch, and I'm, and watch this. Check this out. What? The agent in charge, Amory Roberts is coming. And the secret service follow up. They have no clue what's about to happen. What he's doing is calling away the president's
Starting point is 00:57:01 two most important bodyguard. Look, the bodyguards whose job was to protect the president's back by writing bumper of the limousine. Look at that, you're just saying. He's like, wait, wait, what? And then look at him. And then he's going to his death. So, and my point being, Pat, in this day and age, this is RF Kennedy, like he has a
Starting point is 00:57:19 history, his family has been assassinated and you're denying him secret service. What was the 120 days thing that you saw? No, the agency, the secret service protects major candidates for president and vice president. He's a major pre 120 days within election time. Bob gotcha. But I got it. Two years prior because it's Obama. They can't.
Starting point is 00:57:40 They got protected to re-election. No, no, no, no. No, election. First one. First one, which is odd. So in 2007, 2008, when he ran, he started getting secret service in 2005, six. Six, four, five, six.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Yeah, so he was part, so he was that, basically he was anointed. He's exactly what my, my, my only thing is, if you're not protecting the guy after the history of his family with assassination and murder with government involvement. Yeah. It's kind of shady business.
Starting point is 00:58:07 You're absolutely right. And God forbid anything would happen to RFK Jr. this would be, blood would be unbidened administrations. Do you think so? Well, of course. I mean, look, this is the only other candidate that is challenging Joe Biden. And it's not even close. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Joe Biden, you know, makes it to the state re-election that he's the guy, you know, he's not doing any debates. RFK is, he's out there, but he's, I don't know, is he polling at 17%, 20%, Biden's, it's like a Trump Biden collision course. We know that, but one of the more, one of the more famous speeches that I remember from RFK recently was when he was talking about gun violence in America and basically framing it
Starting point is 00:58:56 as far as a opioid drug mental health situation. And he's like, look, I've lost two family members to gun violence. And it makes you think you're like, all right, who was the two family members? Well, my dad, Bobby Kennedy, and my uncle, JFK. So if there's anybody that understands gun violence and assassinations, it would be this guy.
Starting point is 00:59:19 JFK at the time of his death was 46, RFK was 42, JFK junior was 3080, died in a plane crash. RFK is 69. So he's beating the odds and let's make sure that he's at least protected. Yep. Okay. Next story. Americans are least likely to care about kids having good manners.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Here's what they prioritize. Instead, this is again a CNBC story. In 2017 only 52% of adults in US considered good manners as an important quality for children. A significant drop from 1990 when it was 76%. Rob, can you pull up this article from 76% to 52%, according to a report by King's College London, this makes the US the least likely country among 24 survey to prioritize good manners. In contrast, Egypt leads with 96% considering good manners crucial followed by Nigeria 89%.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Obedience is less valued in the US. We're only 21% seeing it as important for kids. Nigeria tops the list at 58%. The report highlights that the importance of obedience has declined in the Western countries since 90s, with the US dropping from 39 to 21%. Besides good manners on obedience to US value,
Starting point is 01:00:36 hard work, 68% independence, 56%. Imagination 30% religious fate, 32% amongst children. However, tolerance and respect for others, 71% are most commonly considered important, though the US ranks 11th in this category. Tom, what are your thoughts on this? You can see it every day. The BizDoc Babe is a teacher and we see it all the time.
Starting point is 01:00:58 We've entered an era where it seems to be more important that your kids are happy and satiated, right? Keep them happy, always any happy. And you see the stories of parents at the, you know, bribing a kid with ice cream to keep them from having the tantrum. You've seen it on airplanes,
Starting point is 01:01:13 we've seen it in malls, and over the last 20 years, this new generation, it's about being happy and satiated. And it's because the parents are not worried about the manners and discipline, they're worried about keeping their kid happy, they not worried about the manners and discipline. They're worried about keeping their kid happy. They're worried about satiating him. There's a word for this. It's called spoiled.
Starting point is 01:01:31 The discipline that comes with it, kids that have rails, it's a fact that they are content. And there's a word for this, disciplined. They are content and they're disciplined. They know their rails. and they have happy little lives from that side of it. When parents don't care about their kids and you see the drop in what we think about good manners, they're not worried about the manners. They're worried about just keeping the kid quiet,
Starting point is 01:01:57 imbribing them and they're spoiling kids. They're not building good citizens. And when you look at this list of things, it's exactly flipped from the 80s. I wasn't allowed to do tantrums. And my mom was not some horrible person. I was not permitted to do that. And by the way, if I threw a tantrum,
Starting point is 01:02:17 somebody else's mom, oh, wait, I'll tell you something. This is great. So I am six years old. I have now just started first grade. And we're in St. Louis, Missouri a little town called Crevecore and I take like two of my little comic books and I put them in this bag and I'm walking down the street and I'm like nine houses from where I live. This guy comes around the corner and I don't even remember the last name but he rolls down to his and he says, Tommy, where are you going? This is I'm mad. I'm running away.
Starting point is 01:02:43 He stops his car, gets out and stands up and says, go home, because he knew where I lived. And he just yelled and pointed down the street and spank me into anything like that, but he exerted parental authority. You know what I did? I turned around and walked back home. And as I'm turning around, he says,
Starting point is 01:02:59 I'm calling your mom, she'll be ready when you're there. And so he's going to his house to call my mom. And so I didn't turn out terrible, but the point is now people are worried about, oh, you know, you don't worry about manners. You worry about, oh, does he want to be a boy? You want to be a girl? Oh, the little boy wants to be a girl.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Give me the Dixaw. Here we go. You know? Yeah, well, he's well. Yeah, I don't know the name for the medical tool. I just made that up. I just think that's what they use in Missouri. I think it says a lot about Tom that even at that age,
Starting point is 01:03:28 he's running away and he's like, I'm bringing reading and reading. I'm like, you know what, the hell what the underwear is, I'm bringing comic books. I really, I really wanted to have this conversation. I really wanted to hit this topic because I think it's sort of indicative
Starting point is 01:03:43 of where we're at in society. As a great, as America is, of what we're at in society as a great as America is. Everything that we've done in our economy and the world and innovation and GDP and capitalism and free markets, you know. We are the envy of the world. Nobody's trying to come to any other country other than America.
Starting point is 01:04:02 As the American drew, we talk about immigration, which is a shit show these days. But everyone wants to come to America. to any other country other than America, as the American tree, we talk about immigration, which is a shit show these days, but everyone wants to come to America. But when you get to America, you realize there's something kinda going on here that ain't right these days, okay? And a lot of it has sort of been influenced
Starting point is 01:04:20 by this sort of what's going on in social media, for sure, which has been good and bad for some reasons. Part of the, one of the big things that I talk about on my show the time is this Wall Street journal we've talked about here is that the Americans pulling back from the values that wants to find us. There's been, patriotism is immensely on the decline. Having children is immensely on the decline. Having children is immensely on the decline
Starting point is 01:04:45 and raising children, obviously, that's a whole other conversation. Religions on the decline, community involvement's on the decline. But what's up is money and looking out for yourself and selfishness and taking selfies for that matter. So what I love about America
Starting point is 01:05:02 is personal responsibility and what we call rugged individualism, but also, and I don't necessarily believe in the collectivism of socialism, but there is some sort of collective, collectivism of, you know, it takes a village to raise a child. And I think what we need to bring back in America
Starting point is 01:05:20 are ass whoopings. Like, it's so easy for any kid to go online and just talk shit with zero accountability. Did you see the latest interview that Tate did with the Aiden Ross kid and the kid that he brought on with him? Did you see this? That freaking dork in a sponge bob outfit.
Starting point is 01:05:40 He's so dumb. 15 years old, talking shit to Andrew Tate being like, oh, fucking kick your ass, bro. And Tate, like a G is like, oh, really, bro. Is that a sponge Bob sure you're wearing? As he's literally hitting is inhaler to breathe. He's like, yeah, I know how it is to breathe air these days. But the reality is this, because of social media, you have these kids that blow up online that have never have to leave their house, space zero consequences, can talk shit online all
Starting point is 01:06:11 day as Drake says, trigger fingers turned to Twitter fingers, you get act tough. And this kid right here can be punching on the green shirt. Look at this freaking dork just talking shit, what an alpha to take. Look at this kid. What an alpha to take look at this kid. What an alpha? And he's like, oh yeah, come over there kick your ass. Really, bro. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:32 I think that's just I think that's for eyeballs. So that's my point is that that kid is an influencer. He's like, is that a so a kid like that? So what's your point? So my point like that is a kid like that in the real world when we were growing up in the 80s. If he talked shit like that in public to an when we were growing up in the 80s. If he talks shit like that in public to an Andrew Tate, he wouldn't be walking right now.
Starting point is 01:06:50 I'm saying bring back ass whoopings. And just and I think the reason I know Adam's not know people can be like, oh, Adam's saying beat your kids. No, no, as all of us did. No, I'm saying there was consequences to your actions. Like Pat, if our parents, don't touch this. And once you got that, you learned,
Starting point is 01:07:10 it's almost like the Pavlov dog theory, you knew not to do that. It wasn't like I was bleeding or there was no fear. So now those kids, once now they realize, oh, they're not good, I could touch this and that's gonna happen. That's where you have kids now, because the parents are disarmed, the parents,
Starting point is 01:07:24 they call the cops on their parents now. Now a kid goes from, I could touch this and that's gonna happen. That's where you have kids now, because the parents are disarmed, the parents, they call the cops on their parents now. Now a kid goes from, I could touch this, I could stay, I could do what I want. You know what? In school they're telling me I could be a girl. I'm a girl and the parents like, okay, okay, there's no discipline. And you're right Adam, I think that we should have
Starting point is 01:07:39 a national whoop your kids as dead. We're not still letting them know. I want to get, obviously get get past the pain as a parent. Let me just say one thing, disclaimer. I don't have kids. All my best friends have kids. I hang out them every weekend. I'm around all these kids.
Starting point is 01:07:52 I was a teacher for two years. I taught second grade. I taught seventh grade. Okay, I was a camp. I've been around kids. And something is going on, especially because of social media and make America great again, make ass warping a great again. I love it.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Yeah, I think the standard issue and I think parents are scared of their kids and it makes no sense for me for parents to be scared of kids instead of kids being scared of parents. It's extremely confusing to see some like that taking place. But that makes sense that that is happened in America. That's catastrophic for some people that have kids. It's not a good sign here. 7,000 people arrive on Italian island of 6,000 as migrant crisis overwhelms. Lempidusa. Okay, this is a CNN story. This is in Italy. Lempidusa, an Italian island of fewer than 7,000 residents is grappling with an overwhelming migrant influx with 7,000 arrivals in two days leading Mayor of Filippo Manino to state. Now we have reached a point of no return where the role played by this small rock in the middle of the Mediterranean has been put into crisis by the dramatic nature of this phenomenon.
Starting point is 01:09:08 The UN Refugee Agency, Kira Cardoletti, emphasized the gravity of the situation describing it as critical and stressing the need to urgently relocate people off the island. Authorities have already transferred around 5,000 individuals from Lempadoosa to the Italian mainland in the past 28 hours the search and arrivals, many of whom are escaping political instability in Tunisia are alarmed, have alarmed officials' time. Look, this is basically, you know, this is like the UN just run a muck. And by the way, they didn't say revolution in Tunisia.
Starting point is 01:09:44 They didn't say revolution in Tunisia. They didn't say genocide in Tunisia. They didn't say that there is a flood and now there's no housing and no working power plants in Tunisia. No, it's political instability in Tunisia. So okay, so you know what, your place over there really sucks. So we're just going to let you move Lockstock and Barrel over here. We're going to take you to Italy.
Starting point is 01:10:05 And some Einstein thought it was a good idea just to drop a moment in Ireland where basically everybody gets to keep track of one immigrant. You know, everybody, everybody, 7,000 of you, okay, buddy system, pair up with a refugee
Starting point is 01:10:20 and this is how we're gonna do this. This is horrible. This is the same thing, by the way, no one in Europe wants to learn from experience. Do you see the issues that Germany is having right now when they had those boatloads of immigrants? They came into Germany, remember two years ago? It went on for four months.
Starting point is 01:10:39 They just kept bringing boatloads, boatloads. And in the middle of those boatloads, they found criminals that have found thriving criminal careers in Germany, and they found a lot of people that wanted to make it to Germany and make a new life and find something and get away from something else. I just think when the UN is, if you don't think there's one world government coming, this is the UN here, basically green lighting, and then the EU, which has tremendous power over the borders, which is the reason for Brexit, which is reason to UK says, let me alone, I'm going to do
Starting point is 01:11:12 it my way, my rules. This is horrible. This is unchecked. And they actually don't care. I think they're actually trying to crush structure and head for the great reset. Let me give you a little perspective here. I get it, people wanna leave for a better life, safety, security for your children, I get it.
Starting point is 01:11:33 We just talked about, stop donating money to Ukraine and stop policing the world. As an American, the last thing on my list is the lamp of Disa,isa Italy and the migrant crisis. I don't give two shits, okay? Because especially, and my Democratic friends out there, you might get a little triggered right now, especially with what's going on in the border right now,
Starting point is 01:11:55 in America, in Mexico, which is a shit show. And when you have someone like for Reeds Acaria, who is probably my favorite journalist out there, who I respect, basically, and he's a CNN guy, he's like, yeah, the Democrats have it all wrong. This is a shit show. If you see what's going on in New York and the sanctuary cities and Eric Adams
Starting point is 01:12:13 talking about, there's a client in New York City, whatever is happening in the US border right now is not good. And you got a credit Donald Trump for bringing this up. The problem that the media basically utilized was that they called him a racist and Mexicans are rapes and all this kind of stuff. But no, let's just look at the actual issue.
Starting point is 01:12:34 Our actual border here in the United States of America is a shit show. And you can say the Democrats want to have it so they can open borders. So they can have, you know, we remember that on the Biden administration, we came in here and that's how you got in America and that's how you can be able to vote.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Okay, that's a long term play and everything that's going on with the dreamers and the anchor babies and voting, future voting. At the end of the day, my point is this, Italy, Lampadoosa, EU, figure it the fuck out. We have to figure our own shit out over here. Watch this year. During this entire time, new baby found it on migrant boat
Starting point is 01:13:06 off Lempadusa as Italy wrestles with surgeon rivals. Another kid died right at the top. Let me read the next part there at the top. Keep going up. The baby's death comes days after a five-month-old boy drowned when a boat carrying migrants from North Africa capsized. I mean, there's a story. It's horrible.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Non-stop stories, but then who's paying the price for it? The 6,000 people living on that island. It's not even the island anymore, Pat. There's more of the other people than the other view. It's not yours anymore. What did they do? What are they at fault? There's simple people on an island trying to make their lives working and boom.
Starting point is 01:13:38 Because you're part of this, you have to take it. And by the way, you heard what Erdogan said about EU. No. Did he? Did he? Do you want to be? Do you want to be leaving the EU, Erdogan? Turkey? Turkey President says, you know what Erdogan said about EU. No. Did he? Do you want to be considering leaving the EU, Erdogan? Yes, Turkey. Turkey President says, you know what? We may be out of here.
Starting point is 01:13:48 So let me read this. Erdogan says Turkey may be part ways with the EU. He implied the country could end its membership bid and could end its membership bid. President Erdogan said Saturday that Turkey may part ways with the European Union, implying that the country is thinking about ending its bid to join the 27 nation block. The EU is making efforts to sever ties with Turkey. We will evaluate the situation and if needed, we will partways with the EU. He was responding to a question about a recent report adopted by the European Parliament
Starting point is 01:14:19 which stated the accession process cannot resume under the current circumstances and calls on EU to explore parallel and realistic framework for EU-Turkey relations. Turkey applied to join the EU in 1990, the accession talks began in 2005 and the accession negotiation were frozen in 2018 because of democratic backsliding according to the European parliament. How bad is this for EU? Is EU sitting there saying, we don't mind losing Turkey? Or, you know, what do you see when you see this year Tom?
Starting point is 01:14:50 No, this is, the EU needs everybody right now because the EU is capitalist, they're saying, oh yeah, they're socialist, that's right. So they need more people to tax. They need more places to spread it around. And they want a unified EU because that was their blue flag going back when they started it. This was the plan to bring everybody together, knock down the borders, bring it all together. And for someone to step out, especially Turkey is kind of like China and India. There India. There's a lot of a lot of a low cost labor there.
Starting point is 01:15:26 And let's go to next story, which is Vinny story. Denver Homeless Camp features Papa Bar with rentable prostitution tents. I don't know why this is your story, but you ask for it. So let's go through to makeshift open air tavern has appeared in a downtown Denver Homeless Camp featuring lounge chairs Umbrella's and Astroturf prompting complaints from city officials and residents the pop-up speak easy Located on 23rd Rob if we can get a picture a video of this in Champa street has raised concerns about alcohol sales and prostitution activities within encampment
Starting point is 01:16:04 Denver police patrol division chief Aaron Sanchez acknowledges Report of an open bar and alcohol sales at the encampment stating we're hearing there was an open bar sales of alcohol things like that Megan Shay and executive at the homeless eight group Step the Denver Express concerns about the makeshift bar serving alcohol to on also done an encampment serving liquor to on hose of reserve There's no one that's problem that's good anyway So if it's what it was going on over yet. I came to this this company value-tainment your whole thing is Entrepreneurship and capitalism if that right there does a screaming these guys have an open bar Outside like say what you want at least they're being like proactive and they're trying to make money. People are complaining, but Pat, did you just add, I mean, no, Rob, go to that photo,
Starting point is 01:16:47 that tent next to the couch, that's the process, keep going, keep going, that right there. So that's the guy waits out there. There's prostitution. It looks like somebody's butt is. Somebody's butt. Oh, it's actions happening. And then when it's like, it's like, yeah, you see that? Somebody's in the down top.
Starting point is 01:17:03 And me and Tom talking about this yesterday, it's like, you, you see that? Somebody's in the Down top. I mean, Tom talking about this yesterday. It's like you can't make this up and it's happening They haven't taken it down people are just complaining, but that's how you know Denver is run But then think about it people are sleeping with prostitutes Then they're gonna wind up getting the clap or syphilis and guess what we the people are gonna have to pay for their Passenger talent. They weren't wearing a mask but we the people are gonna have to pay for their personal talent. They weren't wearing a mask. They weren't wearing it.
Starting point is 01:17:25 Exactly. They're wewees. We have to pay for it. And it's just, it's unbelievable that we've gone to the point where the homeless people could set this up. And again, all jokes aside, set this up. And all people are doing to them is just, there's complaints to the police and everything,
Starting point is 01:17:39 but it's going down. It's still happening. I'm just glad with the homeless issue that's going on in LA and how messy the disgusting it is and have a problem. I'm glad we can kind of make light of this situation here. So when I went to Denver and still hung out at this homeless camp last week,
Starting point is 01:17:53 I mean, I'm all about safe that money. Wow, wow, the savings at this, drinks were like 50 cents, prostitutes were a quarter. I mean, it's like, look, I go down to Columbia from time to time, everything there is 75% off hotels, food, drinks, partying, women, whatever it is. It's 75% off at this homeless in Campman in Denver. 99% off came with a free shot of chlamydia, which was amazing. That was all.
Starting point is 01:18:16 Pat, you got to come on as a, as a businessman, as an entrepreneur. Can you imagine like the sales meetings, like, listen guys, you better upsell on the liquor and Sarah only turn three tricks yesterday. You know there's actually a bad precedent here. Do you remember when this place called the Mustang Ranch made headlines and the Mustang Ranch is right outside of Las Vegas and it made headlines because they had failed to pay taxes. The Mustang, the Mustang ranch, it's a different name. No, I don't know. Help me out Rob here. It was a Mustang ranch. It was that older white guy. He would hang out. No, no, refused refused to pay their taxes and they were a brothel out there. Yeah. And the US government operated the Mustang ranch for about six months while they developed a
Starting point is 01:19:02 tax plan. That was a true story. And they had shirts that said, I got screwed by the government. Oh, that's brilliant. That's brilliant. Go to the image of the guy. Go to the image of the guy who ran this. Look at him. Oh, that's a G. Well, if you think about it, Pat, at the end of the day, people talk bad about it. Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. Do you know that, right? That's a fact. Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. Do you know that, right? That's a fact. Prostitution. Second oldest, the pimple was the oldest.
Starting point is 01:19:29 No, no, no. The pimple was the entrepreneur that saw what was going on. It's like, we got it, we know. We got to put a CBA collective bargaining ring. We got to get union out. Yeah, exactly. That was actually the first one. Well, it's up in my, it's in my spating the fact, probably not the oldest but former
Starting point is 01:19:44 farmers. I mean, come on, but profession, come on, Wesley. It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, he's asked about the sentencing trump this is a answer all of that the policies that you mentioned about the administration is one reason that donald trump is leading in the polls right now what's your take on this that as we see more indictments of donald trump he seems to be gaining in terms of popularity with the public will he be the nominee i think he will be the nominee and the thing is president trump is stronger today than he was in 2016 or 2020. And there's a reason why.
Starting point is 01:20:27 They saw the policies of what he was able to do with America, putting America first, making our economy stronger. We didn't have inflation. We didn't have these battles around the world. We didn't look weak around the world. Well, looks like Ronda Santis is now trying to work with New York colleagues who are pushing for a shutdown. Yeah, but I don't think that would work anywhere.
Starting point is 01:20:48 A shutdown would only give strength to the Democrats. It would give the power to Biden. It wouldn't pay our troops. It wouldn't pay our border agents. More people would be coming across. I actually want to achieve something. And this is where President Trump is so smart that he was successful in this. You know, President Trump is beating Biden right now in the polls.
Starting point is 01:21:05 Yeah, we have the poll, let's show it. He's stronger than he has ever been in this process. And look, I served with Ron DeSantis, he's not at the same level as President Trump by any shape or form. He would not have gotten elected without President Trump's endorsement. And so I believe our best step forward pass our appropriations. So we're stronger. Take the vote to be fair.
Starting point is 01:21:25 Secure our player. What the Santis responds to him, the clip where Ron has asked the question, Governor DeSantis, and here's his response to what McCarthy said. And by the way, you would have to fast for, because for about the first 10 seconds, you don't hear anything, the question's being asked.
Starting point is 01:21:43 So okay, go back a little bit, go back a little bit, little bit, little bit. Okay, there you go. Let's first play. I think you're fit for weeks. It's time to time. Well, look, I would say, I mean, I think that if you look at what's happened
Starting point is 01:21:55 with DC Republicans, see if you can raise the audio. Very closely, you know, look, Donald Trump, he supported Kevin McCarthy very strongly for speaker. I don't think he would have won the Speaker vote. Donald Trump was instrumental in him earning that Speaker's balance. And they worked in and love really throughout his whole president. Shots fired back. On the same team, on every major spending bill that came down to the fight and they ended
Starting point is 01:22:21 up together at a $7.8 trillion to our national debt never before your day. Then what they did together and so he said that we're different. We are different because in Florida we run budget surpluses. We take down almost 25% of our state debt just as I've been governor. All the debt all the way up for all Florida's history we've knocked off on the 25% of it. So it's a much different approach to where we're doing it right. We have a number of positive times. And then he gets asked the question
Starting point is 01:22:54 and he says, he says, Trump's election chance is close to zero if he's convicted of a felony. The Santa said that close to zero. By the way, you're seeing a fight, which is good. They should have started earlier, but you're seeing a fight on what's taking place, what he's saying, how is he attacking back? Tom, do you think the Santa's stands a chance at all of going ahead of Trump?
Starting point is 01:23:18 Like if you were to say the chances are, no felony, nothing does he stand a chance at all. No, I do not, and I'll tell you why. chances are no felony, nothing does he stand a chance at all. No, I do not, and I'll tell you why. Forget the felony, forget the arrests. Head to head versus Donald Trump, the polls are speaking, but that's not the problem is. What the problem is is he's run three campaigns. The shadow campaign before he declared,
Starting point is 01:23:42 and it only was partly executed, a book launch and a horrible initial campaign in which DeSantis didn't mess with the voters, didn't have a media management strategy. And now he had that house cleaning and he's lost donors and he's literally on campaign number three. And so I look at it like this, dude, none of those have elevated you in the polls. You've only lost in the polls progressively. I don't, it does matter what's happening
Starting point is 01:24:12 to Donald Trump in terms of the indictments. However, head to head, even without those indictments, there is no chance for Ron DeSantis. And I think that he's blown the through opportunities he had, the shadow campaign, the first campaign and the current campaign. And Pat, just a random observation. You notice how calm, cool, collected DeSantis is when he's speaking there, smaller crowd. I believe it. I trust him. And I feel in there when he's on the big stage, it's very robotic. And but you notice that like, see how he's speaking
Starting point is 01:24:40 like, this is what made people fall in love with DeSantis was during COVID. He had a very good feedback. Pat, he had this attitude, this nice calm talking. He's engaging like see how he's speaking like this is what made people fond love with the Santas was during COVID. He had a very good feedback that he had this attitude, this nice, calm talking he's engaging when he's on the big stage, he looks like he's a robot. If you guys in the wide see a great, they don't watch new some last night on CNN. If you didn't watch new some last night on CNN, watch it. He did a clinic on how to handle tough questions. She kept asking tough questions.
Starting point is 01:25:07 He was very good the way he handled it. The governor on the census needs to privately when nobody is around, watch Newsom's way of handling issues. The way he did yesterday, he needs to watch that on repeat over and over and over and over again. His handling needs to be learned. This guy is, I think, Newsom, you guys were saying earlier, Clinton was great.
Starting point is 01:25:29 I think Newsom is more gifted than Clinton in this area. Not policies. His policies cost, he stayed a lot of money. His policies cost people to want to leave. His policies got people to not trust him on the way he's, you know, taking care of families. His policies, you know, almost got him to do a recall. And you know what he said at the end, he says,
Starting point is 01:25:45 she says, so, any chances of you're gonna be running for a president, it says me? No, I don't have any, I'm a governor, I'm not gonna be running for a president, it says, heck. Just a couple years ago, they did a recall, and he trust me, I've been humbled very well the last two years, people didn't want me here. That's what he said, and by the way, you know what?
Starting point is 01:26:00 I respect the fact that he said that. So those are the things that he's doing where he knows how to win the people over this guy's got a lot of skills that when remember I'm not talking policies. I'm not talking right for the nation Yeah, but this is a formidable candidate for the left to become a president one day Yeah, I you hit the nail in the head Pat We have this conversation all the time where there's two major Indicators of who people are voting for, whether it's policy or personality.
Starting point is 01:26:28 I would argue that the Republicans are way better at policy. There's policy wonks and guys like DeSantis and whether Nicky Haley, they lack what Candace Owens called the it factor. Swag, Pizzaz, personality, the whole, the sauce, guys like Obama have it. Let's put Biden aside, he was elected
Starting point is 01:26:52 because he just wasn't Donald Trump period. But Gavin Newsom has it. His policies have led to a vacancy of California. U-Hole prices are a cost and armor leg to get the hellancy of California, you haul prices are a cost of arm and leg to get the hell out of California and cost next to nothing to go to California, but he's a skilled politician and don't forget Gavin Newsom with his ID factor
Starting point is 01:27:16 is 10 years older than DeSantis. People forget DeSantis is 45 years old. He just turned 45. He just turned 45. He's still a young dude, you know, he's still got time, but look, he's going against something that we have never seen before with Donald Trump. We talk about you need to duplicate yourself. You can't duplicate a guy like Donald Trump. No.
Starting point is 01:27:37 Go make a billion dollars in New York and real estate. Have a number one show on TV for a decade. Have swag. Be good with the ladies, open up casinos, bankruptcy, yeah, that's right. I know how to use the law. Democrat Republican, go try to do that, Ron DeSantis. So as much as Ron DeSantis has done a good job during COVID for two years, Trump's been doing it for 40 years. I got to tell you though, the criticism around the Senate president, Trump God, Rob, can
Starting point is 01:28:00 you pull up the clip about when Megan Kelly asked him the question about Can men be men can men be women while you're doing that? I'll read this clip about China and I will come back to you if you can find that clip about on Twitter So then there were two the disappearance of second Chinese minister sparks speculation Chinese defense minister Lee Shangfu who recently warned of a new period of instability, has mysteriously disappeared from public view, mirroring the earlier unexplained disappearance of former foreign minister King Kang in June. This development has raised questions about the stability of President Xi, Xi Jinping, Cabinet particularly as both Lee and Ken were personally chosen by Xi, making it, this
Starting point is 01:28:46 is like a maze, guys. You got to track all these names and making a challenge for him to evade responsibility for the perceived failures. Lee Vanishing act follows allegations of corruption and US sanctions against him in 2018 for transactions with individuals linked to Russia's defense and intelligence sectors u.s. officials believe that corruption is endemic in the people's liberation army p.l.a. undermining g's efforts to modernize the military time i think you you look at this the same way that we watch uh... russia you know you
Starting point is 01:29:17 almost needed to coda ring with russia you say what did put in say who was standing with them you know those pictures who's not standing with them where was know those pictures? Who's not standing with them? Where was he? What were the exact words he used? The same thing is going on in China. China is in the midst of a real estate crash. It's huge. China is in middle of an economic correction, has her own issues on interest rates, and Mexico, one week ago, we now get a greater percent of our imports from Mexico than we do China. It's all shifting. So they've got this huge economic shift and they've got this thing going on the world stage
Starting point is 01:29:54 and they desperately want to go take Taiwan. And meanwhile, they have their own former shadow government. They've got the Communist Party that wants to pull the strings and do things. And now, Xi's had two guys, both of whom had corruption issues that have been pulled out. Because remember, it's all face on that administration. It's all face. And once it looks like you've tripped or something's wrong and you no longer say face, you know, this is what happens. So when you see people disappearing,
Starting point is 01:30:29 it's a sign that that area of government is needs a correction. And what you're seeing is they're making the correction by basically replacing these guys in midstream, but they don't do it as nearly as publicly or as eloquently as it happens in the West. But what ever happens to Shack-Mah the way, what ever happens to Jack Maugh? Actually, what happened to Jack Maugh?
Starting point is 01:30:48 Remember he was discovered to have been living and I believe it was Rob, you can look this up. I believe he lived in Tokyo for two and a half years and made zero public statements about the CCP. You got to understand what happened to Jack Maugh. We covered that when we were back in Dallas in 2020 and the disappearance of Jack Ma, and I did a whole segment on that for my show at the time. He went to a re-education camp.
Starting point is 01:31:13 That's what happened. We know that. What happened to him? Meaning he's just laying low, not talking. And. So that's the re-education. That's the bottom line that they want to put Jordan Peterson through that they wanted to Toronto for different reasons
Starting point is 01:31:27 He needs to be educated on how to talk to people etc. etc. Okay. Yeah, well the bottom line is in these countries you just disappear and Whether it's for a couple months a couple years or the rest of your life, you know shout out to Vladimir Putin That's what happens in these authoritarian regimes. And thank God that's not what's happening in America. At the very least, just carrot and assassinate you. That's what they do here. That's not there yet.
Starting point is 01:31:54 Boy, this wouldn't be a bad thing if we had a strong president, would it? No, no, no, no. If we did, it would be a different situation. By the way, play that clip with Megan Kelly and Trump. Megan Kelly asked President this question. Here's Trump's answer that's got a lot of people on the right upset. Can a man become a woman? Come on. In my opinion, give a man, give a woman. I think I think part of it is birth. Can the man give birth? No, no, although they'll come up with some.
Starting point is 01:32:25 Still no, and everybody's always like Vinnie, you're such a Trump, guess what? I don't like that answer. Say what you got. Why is that? Because he's on the fence. He doesn't want to piss off that certain group for the voting.
Starting point is 01:32:36 And it's like, you should write then and there. I think that should have been a moment where he goes, your men are men and women are women. That's it. And that can move on. Kind of going like, because obviously he wants to make everybody happy, he's running for president. That answer I don't like.
Starting point is 01:32:49 I don't like that. He got to step up at him and say, no, man are men and women are women. No, man, I fully disagree with you. Why? I'll tell you why. If there's anybody that's not worried about making everybody happy, it's Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:33:01 He, you don't give a shit. Everything he talks about is these, you know, fascist Democrat left, he don't give two shits about that. Saturday. All right. Now he's running in a primary and running away with it. I agree with you that he should just be like, yeah, I don't play this game. What the hell are we talking about? There should have been no um. No, no pause. So I agree with you that he should have doubled down on this. Yes. And whether it's Dylan Mulvaney or Bud Light or whatever, but like unacceptable, because that's what his base wants.
Starting point is 01:33:28 So I'm just saying he's not trying to, what I disagree with you is not trying to appease everybody. He should be trying to appease his base. There's a question before that in the interview. I didn't realize that was two weeks ago, but watch it last night was about Caitlin Jenner. And you know, he's like, the first time we ran, he goes, this wasn't even an issue in 2016. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:33:46 Kaelin Jenner's he wants to use the female bath and I don't really give a shit whatever. Yeah, he's like I knew Bruce when he was a man Beautiful beautiful man. Athletes break. I you know, he was like as Trump done Bruce said he had full surgeries. Exactly So he's not trans not cross dressing Bruce said I've had full quote the ship has sailed my surgery. I'm complete The ship shot out. That was a quote, that's what he did. The talk of the Dixel. The Dixel had her said, shot out the Dixel.
Starting point is 01:34:10 Shot out your Dixel. So the point is this, I think Trump, it's actually, like put yourself in Trump's position. Forget about talking points, forget about what your base wants to hear. What the hell are we even, like is it a man, a woman? It's not like this is something he's so not used to. But actually, you know, if you see him on the campaign trail
Starting point is 01:34:29 at his rallies, he's, you know, men or men, women or women, he's doing this. I don't know if it was just like glitch, a pause, he was just kind of, because he's usually very antagonistic. By the way, shout out to Trump, going on Megan Kelly, going on MSNBC, going taking the tough questions, like you see an end with Kate and Collins, like one thing like you have to respect
Starting point is 01:34:53 about Trump, whether you like him or don't like him, the dude shows up. There's no chance that Joe Biden is sitting down there with Megan Kelly for an hour fielding tough questions. Joe Biden won't do that for five minutes. It's one of those things where, you know, Trump, I understand why people don't like him and I understand why people like him. Like it's a double, like two things can be true at once.
Starting point is 01:35:16 Let's see what Thomas has to say, go for it. I think he should have been definitive. He's always been definitive and that's what his base wants. Be definitive. Why would have been so difficult for him to say, Megan, why are we talking about this? Children are born male or female. Later in life, they want to have sex change.
Starting point is 01:35:32 We have a controversy people want to cross-dress and call themselves trans. And it says, if you have a sex change surgery, like Caitlin Jenner did, okay, then maybe you're part of the way there. You still can't give birth. But I don't know why I'm in this conversation. What is this question? Tom, I've heard you do a better Trump before. No, that's probably how to say.
Starting point is 01:35:48 And by the way, we know what the base would say. Thank you. And it doesn't give a lot to the other side. It's like, boom, Pat, how would you have responded to that basic question while I'm in? I mean, it's not even a question for me. I don't even know why we're having a conversation. For me, it would have been a different answer,
Starting point is 01:36:02 but Trump is Trump. Trump's gonna give whatever answer he wants to give, and there is always strategy in his, he couldn't have had a conversation with his camp 30 minutes prior to that, that maybe one of his advisors told him something that in his mind, he's trying to put his next move together on the way he's gonna answer or in the way
Starting point is 01:36:21 he's gonna have a rebuttal to this. He's a strategist. His brain is always going on what he's gonna be doing and at the same time. The audience right now, like the Santas, if the Santas needed a victory in the last how long? Four months, three months? He just had a victory this week. This is so far been a good week for the Santas. His response to Kevin McCarthy and Trump, what he just said to Megan Kelly last week. So in the last 10 days, this has been a good week for us.
Starting point is 01:36:48 Let's see if that changes the polls at all. If one do anything for, and the debate is next week, I want to say in California. By the way, Megan Kelly, she is actually a full on real journalist. Okay. She was asking tough questions. She was respectful. We all know what happened in 2016 when she was asking tough questions, she was respectful. We all know what happened in 2016, when she's like, you've called women dogs, pigs, whatever.
Starting point is 01:37:10 And she's like only Rosie O'Donnell. They addressed it, it was very interesting. But she is classy and of first class journalism. Like, she was a, she was a lawyer with Jones Day. Could I think that was the interview path? That's what was this interview where she asked about the abortion and the time and the day or 15 weeks or something like that. And he still was like, well, we're out of like he's like you said, I would get people
Starting point is 01:37:35 from both sides. And we would come that would a plan. Exactly. For everybody. Because what he's doing it, he saw that the abortion, what the Supreme Court did right before the midterms, didn't sit, what would women in America? So he's adjusting based on the case that he saw with,
Starting point is 01:37:52 midterms, midterms revealed a lot to him of where America's at today and he wants to win. So for him, he's looking at strategies on how to win the election. Googlers told to avoid using words like share and bundle. According to Bloomberg, working at Google, you are told to not use these words. You know, apparently these are curse words. If you work at Google, so let me get into the bottom of this with you. In Washington, DC trial, alphabet and Google has accused of maintaining an illegal monopoly in online search government
Starting point is 01:38:25 lawyers claiming that Google encouraged employees to avoid creating lasting records of potential misconduct such as using Google chat with the history of off-feature, which automatically deletes messages after 24 hours, Google Chief Economist, how variants memo from 2003 memo encouraged discourage using phrases like cutting off their air supply. In 2009, very in advised using query share instead of market share, query share instead of market share. Google employees were further instructed to avoid specific terms and metaphors related to antitrust issues such as scale, network effects, leverage, lock up, lock in, bundle,
Starting point is 01:39:07 and metaphors involved, wars, sports, winning or losing. Tom, what's going on here with Google? Google saw this coming a long time ago because when they were younger, they, and then they read the case study on the Microsoft antitrust suit, where Microsoft used a lot of those words and more where they leveraged PC makers who were pre-installing windows and then they were charging extra fees for it and blocking any other operating system.
Starting point is 01:39:37 That's what landed Microsoft at the hands of the Federal Trade Commission and the massive Microsoft antitrust lawsuit. Google knows history and what they've been attempting to do is set it up so that they limit the email and the, they're trying to limit the bread crumbs as much as they possibly can.
Starting point is 01:40:02 So they were attempting to have their people not say certain things. So when the federal government comes in, like they did this week with the official big, this is a multi year extravaganza here. This will take five years, at least to play out, folks. They want the federal government to have very little to go with when they start going in and looking at what the email was. So all of your employees, they're playing defense. That's right where I was going. They start playing defense years ago because they knew exactly what's going on
Starting point is 01:40:30 with the Microsoft suit, years gone by. Yeah, by the way, in any business, you got to play offense, you got to play defense. Offense is building the company, hiring workers, defense is insurance, we're in the insurance industry, we get it. This is for the assumption that they're gonna be dealing with an antitrust lawsuit, if they're not dealing
Starting point is 01:40:48 with it already, whether they're in a monopoly or not, did we establish that it's 50% of the market as a monopoly? 50% yeah. Okay, so obviously Google is a bohemith and they're just trying to play a little defense right now. They're trying not to use certain words that might trigger.
Starting point is 01:41:05 What? What year was this? 2011 and say 2011. He was prepping the employees. Exactly. They saw this, this light. Exactly. We knew it was a Wayne advance, but why? Because their offense was like the greatest show on turf, like the St. Louis Rams at night around and I'm like, they're just, they're killing it. They're going gangbusters. Make it look closer. Right. So it's like, listen, let's, you know, let's not run up the score too much.
Starting point is 01:41:29 Let's play some defense. Cover the spread. Don't double it. Exactly. So, listen, we've all seen like the Mark Zuckerbergs on trial and the CEO of Google for antitrust and monopoly. And they're just trying to play a little defense in this situation. So are you guys following this story with Deon Sanders and his glasses?
Starting point is 01:41:47 Have you followed how much he sold? So check this out. So a coach from the other side says, I don't like it when a person has a glasses on and a hat on. Says, I was taught when you talk to your parents, you take off your glasses and you take off your hat when you're talking to somebody. What does Dion do? He doubles down.
Starting point is 01:42:07 Dion buys these glasses for every single one of his athletes. Okay, have you followed this? No, he gives one to the rock, he gives one to everybody. These glasses, he ends up getting some kind of, I don't know if it's equity or some kind of, he's sponsorship with them. They end up selling $1.2 million of these glasses, then $4.5 million of these glasses.
Starting point is 01:42:29 Okay, the glasses that he's been wearing. And Rob, I want to send you this article. If you type in Deon Sanders 4.5 million, that's the article you want to look at. It's just type in Deon Sanders 4.5 million. Prime Minister 21 right there, you can pull that one up and let's see what that one says. That's slightly different than the one I have. Deon Sanderson glasses brand, a massive four and a half million dollars in sales,
Starting point is 01:42:51 following a verbal back and forth with Jane Norville. In week three, if you wanna go a little lower so we can give the details, they're tired of all that stuff. Okay, go a little so I can, they're tired of all that stuff. They really are tired of it. And I sat down with ESPN today
Starting point is 01:43:04 and I don't care if they hear it in bolder. I told them, I took off my hat off and I took my glasses off and I said, when I talk to grownups, I take my hat and glasses off. Again, the same thing. That's what my mother taught me. Right? And what does Dion do?
Starting point is 01:43:17 Boom. Go up a little bit. I think there's a tweet above it, Robbie Skipped. Right there, the week's CSU coach said, take his glasses off. Dion Sanders has his own line of glasses with blenders and now has given a pair of every Colorado players. They don't realize they just help me with business.
Starting point is 01:43:33 That's his way. Look at that right there. That is so funny. He gave him, he gave him, played that clip because it just stopped rock. Yeah. Let's give him some. He's got some.
Starting point is 01:43:43 He gave him some. It's a mark. He's got some. Look him some. It's a mark. Yeah. I'm a beauty. Coming up with a team. Boxes up. You can go to there. Look at this. Then he gives one to rock. Rocks wearing one. Rock if you can at this. Then he gives one to rock, rock, square one, rather than can pause it. Then he gives one to the rock and you can go back to the story, Rob. Then he gives one to the rock, rock, square, and one. At their last game, rock shows up. Who else shows up? Everybody showed up. It was the biggest thing on earth. Did you actually see the game? Yeah, of course I saw the game was like they were down something
Starting point is 01:44:22 by 15 points or something they came back. Fort quarter ended up winning it in same game over time and over time a hit that was made that was a uncalled for hit, late hit. There's a lot of controversy, but guess what, they're three and oh. Yeah, look at the rocks born those glasses. Look at that. Well, for the younger generation out there, Deon Sanders, Bo Jackson, or arguably the greatest athletes of all time. I think so. Okay. You know who De, or arguably the greatest athletes of all time.
Starting point is 01:44:45 I think so. Okay. You know who Deon said is the greatest athlete of all time. He had a head of a head of Bo Jackson. Have you heard him say? No. His cousin, who was a crack hit. You ever heard of public story? There's always that one crack hit that could have made.
Starting point is 01:45:00 He says my cousin, who was a crack hit, was the greatest athlete of all time. And what he said was. I'm telling you, he of all of them. Yeah. I'm telling you, he says, then it's bow Jackson. That's the on send. That's what he said. But Deon Sanders for the younger generation, they probably, oh, he was a former NFL player. Like nobody. Like you think about Tyrique Hill who's in the NFL these days. I know that our audience doesn't love sports. This is a pop culture conversation.
Starting point is 01:45:22 Whether whoever you think is the best player in the NFL most athletic Dion Rand circles around that dude. He played cornerback lock down Like island shut down returns he would do the thing it like like baseball baseball Atlanta. He was nasty. He's crazy and now he's raising a new generation He's got two kids on the team the The quarterback who is a Heisman front runner, so Derriss Santer is a beast. He's put a son on the team.
Starting point is 01:45:51 He's probably top three quarterbacks in college football. Correct. And what you don't know is he has another son. He has three sons. One is Deon Sanders Jr. who's not playing. He's got two other sons. One is a playing his old position. Quarterback, same number 21.
Starting point is 01:46:06 First play of the game, first quarter, pick six to the house. Boom, like the beginning of the game. He's, he's actually a good father. He's a good man. He's a brilliant marketer. And he's turning out to be an amazing coach. He went to, before Colorado, he went to Jackson State and dominated there. He took this opportunity. People forget when I was, I mean, a huge Miami hurricane's fan. There it is right there. It's on just beginning of the game.
Starting point is 01:46:32 First score, bang, pick six. Pick six. Colorado was a powerhouse football. Yeah, well, shots to alarm, cordel, Stewart, all these guys were good. Rob, stop the video. Just change it. They were competing against national championship, against University of Miami,
Starting point is 01:46:48 which the rock was at the game. We have people like Dwayne Wade being like, dude, I've never watched a football game in my car on my phone, but that's what Primetime Deanna's doing. And he's capping this butt as much as this is a feel good story. Their number, I think 16 in the country right now, number 19, I apologize.
Starting point is 01:47:09 They travel to Oregon, or this Saturday, Oregon is a top 10. Oregon is favored by 21 points. He better sell some sunglasses this week because they might be three and one by the time of this week. This was totally random. He had like his foot amputated.
Starting point is 01:47:25 Deon, didn't he? Not foot toe. Toad. I don't know. Can you check if you got? I don't know. I bet us. Is it diabetes for him?
Starting point is 01:47:33 That's insane. Like the unsanitary. Remember when we did the, he had two toes amputated, not legs. Two toes. Got you. Remember when we did the Antonio Brown interview. Yeah. Obviously, people that was crazy as interview of all time. The first hour was a shit show.
Starting point is 01:47:49 The second hour was actually a pleasant conversation. Yeah. Where does it was? But what one of the conversations that turned the tenure and tone of that conversation was when I asked him, did you see what Dion said about you? Antonio Brown and he's like, well, what do you say? Because he respect everyone respects the hell out of Dion. He goes, oh no, if you make it to the Hall of Fame,
Starting point is 01:48:11 he'll show up for you. He doesn't even go back, but he'll go for you. He's like, oh, really? Like Dion said that kind of a thing. Like he has the respect of everyone, football players, fans, all of your favorite songs. Must be the money. Must be the money. Must be the money.
Starting point is 01:48:25 Remember this one? No. Every time I tell them to stop. I mean, this guy, by the way, the right there with the pink, don't play. Don't play rock. He was the pink outfit. He was so jea had on that back in the days. Yeah, but the other day I made a list, because he people were saying the greatest athletes
Starting point is 01:48:41 of all time. And they were like, oh, you're the greatest athletes of all time. Jim Thorps. list because he people are saying the greatest athletes of all time and they're like, oh, you're the greatest athletes of all time. Oh, these things. Jim Thorps. I'm like, no, there's a difference between the greatest winner and the greatest athlete. Yes. Those are two different human beings. You talk about the greatest winner.
Starting point is 01:48:54 Tom Brady's not eating Dion and Arrest. Exactly. Yeah. Who me? The greatest athlete is this guy. I had him as my number one head of OJ. What? Where was born your top?
Starting point is 01:49:04 Lebron was number two, Bo was three. Wow. I believe Lebron was two, because Lebron just makes no sense. For him to run as fast as he does, jump as high as he does, and be as big as he is, and have the physique as he is, it just makes no sense. And Bo Jackson, Pat, you know, this is when he's not on my top five greatest winners, obviously. Obviously.
Starting point is 01:49:19 He's in the top five greatest. Bo Jackson has let usism when he hit the scene and he was running up on the left field wall and people didn't know he threw somebody out from the warning track to home and people say, the answers, just like, why can't I like, I've never seen anything like that in my life. He was ridiculous. But yeah, prime time was, because we would watch these, dude, I was old enough to watch. What's the fastest you ran to 40 in, Tom? What's the fastest you ran to 40 in?
Starting point is 01:49:44 I don't think ever, man. I can tell you, I can tell can say my two mile, you know, but what was your two mile? My two mile I got into the 11s. Seriously. That's very good. My 40, I never really time my 40, but my two mile was insane in the military. Are you in? It was like, stop. Pat, I was sprinting my energy. I would just sprint the whole thing. What was yours, Pat? My two mile? No, you're 40.
Starting point is 01:50:13 My 40. I was, I was a four six, four seven, 40. I was a fast guy. Yeah. You had speed. I had speed. I, what was yours? You're a four four five?
Starting point is 01:50:23 No. Well, I played college football, but I ran a four five nine If I could have got it down to four three lower. Yeah, which it was not possible, but four two four three is insane You go for this guy four two seven, but it's uh Well, Adam saw my 40 at in Vegas, and I tore my your four days rock Pull up the tweet. I just gave you this. This is what you know We do stories like this at the end of the podcast story because this is officially for us folks.
Starting point is 01:50:50 For those of you that could care less about sports, we kinda like sports. This is who I had as my top five athletes. Zoom in a little bit. Let me see that. Because go to the bottom, go to the bottom, first show the other guy on the bottom, Bruceke had this.
Starting point is 01:51:00 He had Serena Williams at five. This is athletes. Athletes. They should change it to winners. He had Serena then Brady five. This is athletes. Athletes. They should change it to winners. He had Serena, then Brady, then Ruth, and Ali, then Jordan, right? Good job. Those are winning. Good to the time.
Starting point is 01:51:12 That's like icons. I had Deon Sanders, then LeBron, then Bo Jackson, then Jordan. Then I had Jim Brown and Wil Chamberlain. Wil Chamberlain was a machine when you read about the guy. And Jim Brown was obviously insane. The greatest dominators, MJ and Brady at one, then I have messy Ali Woods Ruth, who I have. And I like Pat. He's just making up the two guys will be at the first thing. And what does MJ and Brady to me? It's, yeah, there it goes. If you say he's the Brady
Starting point is 01:51:36 of this or he's the MJ of this. Yes. But Pat, you are right. There's a difference between a pure athlete versus a winner versus an icon night and day, right? Yeah, because the winner has could have like like Brady, he's in great quarterback, but the whole system around him from the coach to the wide receivers to the lines, everybody. Look, let's get real here. Tom Brady is not a top 1000 athlete of all time. Pure athlete, winner, heart of a champion, icon, Mount Rushmore. And I think that's what you're basically solving for is.
Starting point is 01:52:08 And by the way, on Tiger Woods, if he doesn't hit a fire hydrant and take six years off of his career, he would have shattered, not just beaten, shattered, Nickless's records. Yeah. Absolutely. That's why you got to be careful. Who you marry, bro? Well, and also you decide that maybe you're going to go be a member of one to be a Navy CEO, you're reading the book, the actually intro to self-suffering.
Starting point is 01:52:31 That's not what you got to be. You've got to decide who you marry. You know, when you do and you're not done, take your time. You know what I'm saying? But if you like still, you're marrying and you want to have 16 folks from the, you know, modern day, all-in-fans, 16 folks from the, you know, modern day Olin fans back in the days, you know, adult. It's a different game that you play.
Starting point is 01:52:49 You know what would be interesting here? Can we pull that list back up? I want to just want to, I'm going somewhere here. We're to tweet the tweet. Now go back to that thing. I want to know how many of those guys the greatest of all times. Yeah. The winners, the athletes, the icons, how many were married, not married, divorce, had situations going
Starting point is 01:53:07 on on the low. I don't know. Well, the brawn at the top of the list, he's married to his high school sweetheart, respect to him. Michael Jordan remarried, actually, at Miami girl that I know. Well, if I could talk about, I mean, messy's married, but you talk about Tiger Woods, Tiger Tiger Woods, y'all. Homeboy was playing out there. So was Babe Ruth. Yeah. Muhammad Ali wasn't exactly. You know, Tiger was number one until they got mad at him for the hookers and the strippers.
Starting point is 01:53:33 Then once that got, everything went down poor guy, dude. They should have just left, let them hook up with the strippers and he would have stayed number one. Just let him. Just let him. Tiger, I think his wife who became a hundred million dollar womanyear woman 90 me probably had something to say about that. She's amazing She was a goddamn opair and now she's worth a hundred million dollars God bless her soul. Yeah How many random dudes just are worth a hundred million dollars because they got wiped out by some chick zero and pat
Starting point is 01:54:00 I don't know if you guys know this I'm to do playing to do And Pat, I don't know if you guys know this, that's not good. I'm the dude, playing the dude. What are you mean, you people? This is random, because I don't know why we thought of, because Tiger, do you guys remember what happened? The whole fight happened and initiate everything. Tiger's home drinking, he's home with his wife,
Starting point is 01:54:15 the stripper called the house. Okay, so he runs out, he gets into the house, he wants a house phone's worth. This is not a house phone, no, I'm being dead serious. And he's in that truck. She's beating the car with the golf club. And I don't know how funny it would have been if Tiger Woods made the U-turn into the fire hydrant.
Starting point is 01:54:33 And he got stuck. But think about it, his wife is hitting it with the golf club. This is Tiger Woods, the best golfer of all time. You think because he was drunk. As she's hitting it, he's like, baby, wait a minute. You got to stay in the car. You're not, babe, I'm sorry, but you're a reflection of some neighbors are watching it. That's my three-line. Great point.
Starting point is 01:54:52 By the way, he wasn't seen for two weeks and the people that are commentators who know things and golf says he got hit. He got hit. Of course. There is in that no one saw him for two weeks. He said he got hit. When neighbors said her follow through shot was horrible. And it looked like it looked like.
Starting point is 01:55:08 Like, right. Yeah. Okay. All right. So here we go tomorrow tomorrow 9 a.m. Tom Brady's interview premieres on race for impact Thursday. We have a wild discussion here on the podcast. Myself with four folks that are be here,
Starting point is 01:55:25 it'll be interesting to tune in. And we will be doing many more of those because I feel eventually I wanna have the biggest representative of the Muslim community with the biggest representative of the Jewish community and the biggest representative of the Christian community for us to do podcasts together. Maybe even a live discussion together
