Topics coming up on the podcast
0:28
All right. So, I hope you had a good morning because John Bolton did not. His house was raided this morning at 7 a.m.,
0:33
folks. So, whatever you got going on, if you just got a speeding ticket, if you just got into an argument with your
0:38
wife, with your husband, if you went to Starbucks and you asked for a London fog and they gave you some BS coffee that’s
0:44
bitter, doesn’t taste good, if this morning you woke up, you have a flat tire cuz somebody slashed your tire.
0:50
There’s a man named John that just got raided by the FBI this morning. So, have
0:55
a wonderful day everybody. Gavin Newsome is celebrating what happened to him yesterday. He’s on top of the world. The
1:01
gerrymandering mother Newsome government celebrating. You know, it’s he’s
1:07
excited. He’s excited about what he’s got going on, but we got a lot of stuff to say about him. Um this Jubilee thing, there was Amanda
1:14
Seals that Vinnie wants to show the clip, which we will. Clinic, Walmart against Target. We didn’t talk
1:19
about it last time. We will today. Military preparing attacks on Mexican cartels. It’s happening apparently. Yes,
1:26
target stock plunges 7% as a new co pick disappointed Wall Street Cracker Barrel,
1:31
you know, CEO gets up there. I found a clip of a Cracker Barrel talking to Michael Strahan about the decision. It’s like everybody likes it. Our employees
1:39
like it. Customers like it. Stock market does not like it, lady. I don’t think she gets it.
1:46
Christian Revival, believe in God triples amongst 18 to 24 year olds. We didn’t cover it. We will today. Young

officers fudged crime data under orders from suppliers. Walmart wins over more
2:12
shoppers as tariff push prices higher. fired LA chief uh um uh uh fire chief
2:21
who was blasted for slow response uh to deadly fires sues the city. Are you
2:26
kidding me? Sues the city. Gavin Newsome’s trying to become Donald Trump, failing miserably because he is not
2:34
Donald Trump, but he’s trying really hard and he’s trying to be a tough guy. Like this is, you know, he because I maybe it’s because he’s in Hollywood for
2:40
so long in California that he’s like, you know what? What role am I going to play this year? This year I’m gonna play
2:46
training day. I’m gonna be a tough guy, you know. No, no, you know what? We’re gonna watch Godfather. I’m gonna be this this year. No, you know who I’m gonna
2:53
be? I’m gonna be Ronald Reagan because I just watched Dennis Quaid. So, right after the election, I’m crist. I’m open,
2:59
folks. Let’s talk to Republicans and Democrats. Let’s all get along. But it’s actually probably the best take ever on Gavin News, the Chameleon.
3:07
Fellow Wimpocrat Scarboro. He’s just trying to get along and trying
3:12
to act like a tough guy that’s not working out for him. Anthony Weiner. It’s ridiculous to get me charged with a
3:18
crime and to do prison sentence for the things I did. You gotta love the guy, man.
3:25

3:42
arrogance that you have?” We got a couple other stories as well that we’ll get into. How many you guys remember the movie
3:47
Basic Instinct? Remember that movie with uh uh you know there’s a lot of uh uh
3:54
interesting scenes in that movie where they I think they’re doing a Basic Instinct too. There’s only one interesting scene in that movie.
3:59
No, there’s quite a few. It’s actually I told you one time I’m on a flight. I’m like I haven’t seen this movie for 20ome years. God I’m watching the movie.
4:05
People are looking at me saying why is this guy watching porn on a flight? I’m like I’m not watching porn. It’s just a movie that the guy wrote many many years ago.
4:12
Okay. All right. Next, uh, a couple other stories. Cracker Barrel, we got to touch it. New York appeals court throws
4:18
out the $500 million penalty against Trump and Leticia James Civil. She is so
4:23
upset. And then uh we got a couple other things that uh may be happening. Now, Chris Pratt, there’s a clip. We’ll get

John Bolton’s home raided this morning.
6:46
I want to go to the John Bolton story first thing this morning. Rob, if you want to play this clip here. So, John Bolton this morning uh is not at the
6:53
house, by the way. Similar to how President Trump wasn’t at the house when they went to Mara Lago and the FBI
6:59
raided his home. Well, this is what happened to John Bolton. And that’s probably exactly what he looked like
7:05
when he found out that the FBI showed up. Go ahead, Rob. The Fox News alert. We’re just learning learning the FBI agents have raided the
7:12
Maryland home of former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton. It happened at 7 a.m. this morning. Shortly
7:19
after the raid began, FBI director Cash Patel posting on X, quote, “No one is
7:25
above the law. FBI agents on a mission.” David Smut joins us now with more on this breaking news. Hey, David. Hey,
7:32
guys. Not much we can say at this point, but information will continue to develop. Uh, as you mentioned, about
7:38
7:00 this morning, FBI agents raided Ambassador Bolton’s home. Notable, we’re
7:43
being told by two government sources that they are looking for classified documents as part of a potential leak
7:51
investigation. We’re told that Ambassador Bolton is not in custody. He’s not under arrest, but it is notable
7:58
they are at his Maryland home right now. We don’t know how many agents are there. were waiting uh to get a picture of the
8:05
scene uh coming in right now. But what we’re told, Ambassador Bolton, who was just on TV uh on another network a
8:11
couple days ago talking about the Russia uh Putin Trump summit uh is now under
8:16
FBI investigation. Now, I want to Okay, Tom, thoughts? Well, you know what?
8:23
Okay, Vinnie, thoughts. No, no, you’re going to say something. I do. Well, you know what? FO, you know,
8:30
you wrote a memoir. You leaked information. You were a pain in the neck during the last year of his administration. You got the Biden
8:36
administration to actually drop the suit that that the Trump administration, Justice Department brought against you.
8:43
Biden walks in, Justice Department, John Bolton, any enemy of my enemy is my
8:48
friend is what he does. And Biden does it. And so now they’re they’re going around. Now the headlines are going to
8:54
be Trump is going after his enemies. Authoritarianism returns to the streets of America. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
9:00
no. This guy was a leaker. This guy was a national security guy. This guy was
9:07
was not good. This guy was like the hidden ghost of soul of the Warhawks
9:15
trying to get things. Even Even The Onion made fun of him. The Onion made fun of him once where they they had this
9:21
picture says John Bolton stumbles into capital claiming Iran shot him and we must retaliate.
9:26
That’s funny. That’s what he’s saying. It was just shot in the parking lot by his nuke. Here’s what some people said this
9:32
morning about it. Cash Patel said, “No one is above the law. If it’s on mission,” Dan Bonino said, “Public corruption will not be tolerated.” Pam
9:38
Bonnie said, “America’s safety isn’t negotiable. Justice will be pursued always.” Megan Hayes from CNN, a Biden
9:44
adviser, said seems extremely political, extremely petty. Suggested it smacks of
9:49
pure revenge and represents poor use of AB FBI resources. Vinnie, what do you
9:55
Yeah. Well, first of all, it drives me nuts that the other side has the freaking gall to even talk about, oh,
10:00
they’re using the law to come after No, no. That’s what Leticia James, that’s what all these people were doing for
10:06
Trump for years. For years now, this this was I was celebrating in my car, Tom, on the way. And by the way, they
10:12
were looking for documents. They’re probably hiding in his mustache. But th this guy is the epitome. This is the
10:18
epitome, Tom. When they when they talk about the swamp, I’m with you. Preach. Yeah. When they talk about the deep state, when they talk about the swamp,
10:24
that’s the guy. That is the face of the deep state. Okay? He wanted war with everybody. War with Iran, war with North
10:30
Korea, war with Venezuela. Doesn’t matter. He’s he’s that guy. He wanted the war. Uh then he blew up Trump’s uh
10:36
North Korea uh uh talks by running his mouth. He said he called it the Libya model, Tom, where he said
10:41
intentionally he did it. Yeah. He he said basically telling Kim Jong-un, “You’re next, right?” Yeah. Well, Trump’s heading over there.
10:48
Yeah. Exactly. And then he fought uh uh Trump on Afghanistan. and he blocked the peace deals and then you write a book
10:53
talking crap about about Trump and going after him and it’s like this is the problem. I just hope
10:58
and leaking facts in the book that got him sued by Trump’s justice department and good for him. I just hope and mind
11:04
you again guys this is we’re less than one year in. They’re making all these promises. Let’s put the Epstein and all
11:10
that stuff aside. I hope this is the beginning of of the of everything else coming after it. The Hillary, the bill,
11:18
everybody that did something illegal. We want accountability. I’m happy it’s starting with this guy, but I hope it
11:23
doesn’t finish. I hope it keeps going. Well, John Balden is known for war first, ask questions later. Uh Trump is
11:30
all about Bob Barker. Let’s make a deal. So, these guys have clashed since day one. The craziest thing is Trump hired
11:38
him as his national security adviser. Like if there’s any difference between the first term with Trump and second
11:43
term with Trump, Trump’s bench that he was dealing with back then was so limited and so just not with talent and
11:53
people that were on his side. You would hire a vocal critic. Yeah. Of Trump. Now Trump is like, “Who the
12:00
hell are you? Why the hell are you here? Here’s a guy who’s made a career of bashing Trump in the last decade.” And
12:06
now I don’t know, some are calling it retribution. We’ll see what happens here. But no man is above the law. Adam and and you and you said this
12:12
before and I’ve heard other people argue the fact where they’re like, “Well, he assigned him just like Christopher Ray.”
12:17
They’re like, “Well, if he’s such a corrupt guy,” and it’s like, “Well, Trump when he first won, he didn’t. Trump had no idea, Tommy, Adam.” You
12:24
feel me? You just show up and you’re like, “Okay.” And you know what they say? The people in Washington go, “Hey, that’s a great guy. Christopher Ray,
12:30
hire them.” But you made a that’s a great point. Exactly. Eric Trump was on this podcast and said, “What happened the first time
12:36
versus the second time with the uh people we put in to vet our selection is night and day.” I believe that was a
12:41
quote. It was night and day. And for people in the Dems to get up and say, “Oh, this is a terrible use of FBI resources.” Remember who were the
12:48
buffoons that sent those same FBI resources to Mara Lago to find nothing
12:55
and raid Roger Stone’s house. Let me make it 6:00 in the morning. Watch out.
13:00
Oh, there we go. Oh my god. You see what it’s like, Pat? I don’t think anyone’s shocked by this. It’s like, what? John Bolton,
13:07
why do you think this happened today? Yeah. I I don’t know. I I don’t know if this guy’s in my top 50 list of people
13:14
to go after. I don’t know. Uh when your uh guy sends me a message
13:19
this morning on Man, he got into trouble. He hasn’t drank for three years. He is
13:25
at an airport. He drinks. It’s public. video goes
13:30
viral. He’s asking me, “How do I handle this?” We’re having a conversation together, one of our clients, and he’s
13:36
screwed up, right? And as we all do, okay, but this is big screw up. He hasn’t drank for three years. And
13:41
somebody who hasn’t who who has drinking issues or you’ve tried to get off alcohol, you know how tough it is. You say, “I can get away with just one glass
13:47
of wine or whatever.” And the next thing you know, you’re on stage, you know, dancing around the poll and people are
13:53
saying, “Wait a minute, that’s my accountant.” And um you know so now
13:58
your taxes he’s like save that money. This is the most entertaining encounter
14:05
I’ve ever had. I’m always audited but damn this guy with this guy doing right back. So so
14:13
let me tell you how this thing works. So the whole point is sometimes it’s redirect sometime it’s you know look
14:21
over there. Holy guys. What are we doing here? And sometimes it’s look over there and really look over there because
14:28
something’s there. So, if they go after this guy, they find something and he has some stuff. Guess what? They’re going to look good. But if they
14:34
go raid his house and they find nothing, they’re going to look just like uh you know what was the guy that did it here?
14:40
The judge that went after Marlago and says, “Yeah, this wasn’t Biden. This was my choice. I made the decision to go
14:46
after president because we had to find out what was going to happen.” And they did that to a president. So people on
14:51
the left that’s like I can’t believe he’s going after John Bolton. If Trump did this at Biden’s house and they went
14:57
to Biden’s house, okay, now that’s retribution, you know. But if you
15:03
notice, Trump’s been fairly nice to Biden. Okay, he he’s not necessarily
15:08
been like Obama. Every time Obama was was like, “What? Why? It’s what I inherited. It’s administration I
15:14
inherited. It’s an administration I inherited.” and and all these liberals get up and they say, “Well, you know, you don’t ever blame the previous one.”
15:20
It’s all Obama did for the first four years. It’s all go back and play the tapes. It’s out there. Everything was
15:26
about Bush’s fault. Bush’s fault. Bush’s fault. Bush’s fault. Bush’s fault. It’s like, dude, kudos to Bush. Love him or
15:31
hate him when he became president and he got out. Never said anything. He said nothing from that day till today. Yes.
15:36
911. Yes. All this other stuff. The guy for the most part has been a fairly a
15:41
non uh uh what’s the word? non influential player in the last what is
15:47
the MPC non uh he’s not been somebody that’s uh been that influential. So I
15:52
don’t know what they’re doing here. Maybe there is something there. Maybe it’s redirecting. Maybe it’s misdirection. Whatever it is, time will
15:57
tell and we’ll know within a month or two or three months that something was there or not. I agree. It’s a risk. You could be, you know, you you come
16:04
unglued with uh Leticia James. You don’t want to be Leticia James by mistake. Yeah. You don’t want to do that. I
16:10
agree. You don’t want to do that. Out of Okay. So, out of the list, him being on one of them, him down there, him down there, him downstairs, him,
16:17
John Bolton, um John Bolton, John Brennan, um Hillary Clinton, all all of
16:23
the cases that they’re going to talk about, the indictments are coming. They’re going to be talking to everybody. They’re going to have everybody um what’s it in court? The
16:29
deposition that they have to do out of what percentage do you give one person
16:34
going to jail? One getting indicted and actually seeing prison. I I actually
16:40
think there’s a 25% chance someone’s going to jail. That’s pretty high. I think there’s a 25% chance someone. I
16:47
don’t know who. Exactly. But I think someone We deserve there will be a fall guy. I think there’s going to be someone that
16:54
goes who I don’t know. Let me tell you what’s the weirdest thing. Um,
17:00
you know, I had Michael Wolf on the other day. We had him for an hour. We had a, you know, podcast and we’ve been
17:06
speaking a lot lately because the interest in this topic last night. I’m watching the, you know, Gelain Maxwell
17:12
documentary. Have you watched it on Netflix? Tom, have you watched it on? No, I’ve not that Maxwell Netflix.
17:18
Highly recommend you go watch it. Highly recommend you go watch it. Let me say it again. Highly recommend Rich. Yeah.
17:25
Yeah. We were glued to the stream screen. Me, my dad, and my son. Okay. just watching,
17:31
you know, how Epstein was the replacement of her father the day her father died, how close her and her
17:37
father were and some of the things that he taught her. Some things that I never knew about her, their method, some of
17:43
the clients that were talking when they were taking them upstairs and literally they would bring 16-year-old girls
17:48
upstairs to their penthouse. Hey, can you bring the clothes upstairs? And they would bring them upstairs and they would go in their room, change in a
17:55
robe, come out. So imagine the 16-year-old girl is sitting right there. they right in front of her start kissing
18:00
each other and they start fooling around and then they would look at her and invite her come join us like that was
18:06
their method of doing it right very interesting when you see that so for me I I I talked to uh Michael Cohen a
18:12
couple days ago we’re having a conversation together about you know what’s really going on what’s and his position has changed all of a sudden now
18:18
he’s complimentary you know all of a sudden now he’s you know a little bit more complimentary to the president all of a sudden Hillary’s
18:25
complimentary to the president weird all of a sudden you know Joe Scarborough is complimentary or I say Newsome’s
18:30
trying to be like uh Trump all of a sudden a lot of people are complimentary. So the moment people
18:36
dramatically switch that aggressively it’s one of two things. There used to be
18:42
a song uh uh uh you know the head you know player in charge. You can replace
18:47
the player with another word and you know that’s the guy today. They
18:54
either fear him and he has the personality of saying, “Do something, I
19:00
will destroy you. Play along. We’ll be friends.” But I swear to God, if you do
19:06
something, I will destroy you. And they believe him. There’s a big difference when you build
19:11
a reputation like that. To be who he is today took 40 years of building that
19:16
reputation in the marketplace. You’re feared, you’re hated, you’re an and you’re comfortable being that
19:22
person. So, you create friends and allies and some that always know behind
19:28
closed doors, holy this guy can destroy me if we really wanted to. And so, that’s his rep. And people are kind
19:33
of starting to realize maybe this is somebody not to mess with. First thing Tom said is what, you know, faf fo, right? Found and find
19:41
out. That’s exactly what’s going on right now. So, but I will tell you it’s slippery slope if there’s nothing there.
19:47
Yeah, you better find something. If you do this and you don’t find something, they’re going to say you’re just like
19:53
the previous administration. You’re using the DOJ. Trust me. All day today,
19:58
this happened. What time? 7 a.m. It happened 2 hours and 20 minutes ago. Watch how all day today this is the
20:05
easiest content for Nuome Warren every AOC Manny everybody on the left is going
20:13
to say they’re using the justice system to go after their opponents they’re using the justice and this is such an
20:20
easy layup for the left to run with and they’re going to be doing that but if they do this and in the next week, two
20:26
weeks, four weeks, six weeks they show something, holy that’s credibility hypocrisy which I think is the point that you’re
20:32
making here is that all they did was weaponize the justice. All they did was do that and then to do this. Speaking of
20:38
hypocrisy, one thing I just want to spec with with Bolton. You know, this guy is known as the biggest wararm monger around. But he
20:44
never served in the military whatsoever. I think a lot of people are frustrated by people who have never served or are not actual tough guys. Have actually
20:51
never served their country in that capacity who are calling for war. Trump never served in the military, but he’s
20:57
not a wararmonger. If anything, he’s a dealmaker trying to make peace. So, I feel like people are a little uh disgusted by the hypocrisy for someone
21:03
like this mustache. Okay, so let’s go to the next story that we got here. The next story I want to go to, believe it or not, is
21:08
Walmart and Target rap. That’s what I want to go to next. Because when you think about what happened with Target, Target stock plunges 7% as a new CEO
Target stock drops over CEO stepping down.
21:16
picks new CEO pick disappoints Wall Street. There won’t be change when change is needed. Okay, this is page 16.
21:24
Uh Rob, I want to combine this with Walmart together. Uh, Rob, and then Tom, I’m going to come to you and uh I I
21:31
think you’re going to be ready for this one. All right, so let’s do this one here. Target shares up 7% to 98 after rename
21:37
after naming chief operating officer Michael Fidelki uh as CEO effective February 1st, 2026, replacing Brian
21:44
Cornell, who said there is no one better suited to move Target forward than Michael Fideli, but investors expecting
21:49
an external hire. We’re disappointed. Gerald Stor, former Target vice chairman and ex Toys R Us CEO, told the post,
21:57
“This guy’s apparently got credibility.” He’s the ex- Toys R Us CEO. The stock price reflects that there won’t be
22:03
change when change is needed. Fidelity, 20-year veteran at Target, responded during an internal meeting saying
22:09
there’s no short there are no shortage of uh of uh critics out there today. The
22:15
way to prove these critics wrong is with action that leads to results. Target reported a 1.9% decline in same store
22:21
sales for the second quarter ending August 2nd, 2025 with customer transactions down 1.3% and average
22:27
spending per transaction down6% despite beating Wall Street earnings estimates. Fidelki noted on a post earning call.
22:34
Now we need to move uh more of those examples across the category, but they
22:39
can give me a ton of confidence that we’re on the right path here signing improvements in HomeGoods like Disney
22:45
and Marvel. Now, while this is happening, folks, the complete opposite is happening with Walmart. Walmart wins
22:52
over more shoppers as tariff push prices higher. Those are two separate stories.
22:58
Rob, is this a tariff story or the Target story? This is Walmart and the tariffs. Okay. Did you have the C the Target
23:04
story as well? You had a clip on Target. Is this the pastor? This is the pastor. Okay. So, CNN does a story on this one pastor. I don’t know if you guys
23:10
remember this or not. And this actually became a very big campaign that this
23:16
black pastor was driving, saying, “Black Americans spend $12 million a day at
23:22
Target, but Target doesn’t listen to us.” Watch this clip. Go for it. Let’s be honest. When you started this,
23:28
they were naysayers. They were people who didn’t believe the fast would work. Yeah. Uh where we are right now is the uh
23:34
stock has plummeted. Uh the valuation has uh dropped by $12 billion. Foot
23:41
traffic is down by 7.9%. Uh the former CEO’s salary was slashed
23:46
by 42% and now they got a new CEO. What have you learned through this process about the interaction of Target
23:53
and this community in particular? Yeah. Well, this is the most effective and sustainable boycott for black people
24:00
in 70 years since the Montgomery bus boycott. Uh and so uh it was not muscle
24:05
memory. Uh we had to teach a new generation on the sustainability of unity. Uh and that you don’t see it
24:12
overnight. Uh but it’s a protracted process. Look, if you didn’t know, we a lot of
24:18
people, especially black people, love Target. In fact, they gave it a nickname of Tar at some point. What was that like
24:23
trying to convince folks out there to give it up? Knowledge is power. The Bible says people die from a lack of knowledge.
24:29
when black people understood that we spend $12 million a day at Target and I
24:34
couldn’t think or find one black company that earns $12 million a day. People
24:41
begin to have the light bulb go off and say, “I can’t spend my dollars where I’m not getting dignity.”
24:47
Tom, thoughts? Well, there’s three things here. First, Target in 2023, they
24:53
had that they go back. They had a um a CEO that came from the outside world, not didn’t grow up in Target. He was
24:59
there 10 years. The first five got kind of rough because boom, suddenly he’s in CO. But as it came out of CO 2023, he
25:06
went DEI crazy and was putting all of these trans kids bathing suits for
25:12
six-year-olds that contain Yeah. that contained instructions and said they were tuck friendly. So tell your
25:17
six-year-old boy, “Don’t worry about this little extra equipment you came with. We’re just going to tuck it in here.” Mommy, you’re hurting me. the um
25:24
and so that you had that and everybody freaked out and meanwhile there was also
25:29
you know these churches that were looking at it and saying wait a minute we don’t think this is dignified and it
25:35
wasn’t a weekend boycott. This has been multi-year and it’s been very effective. It’s been over
25:41
two years that this has been working. And what they do is target fast. For those of you that don’t know what the
25:46
word means in this category, when they say a fast, it’s like you will fast from something, meaning you will abstain from
25:53
it. Hey, I’m fasting except water on Friday and I’m having a day of reflection and prayer. So, you’re
25:59
fasting from food. So, when you see those signs that say Target, fast, it says time to fast from Target, meaning
26:05
abstain from Target. It’s been very, very effective. Meanwhile, when all of
26:10
this went down, what did Walmart do? Hey, remind them that we’re from
26:15
Bentonville, Arkansas. Remind them what we stand for. And Target and Walmart
26:21
said, “Guess what? We are seeing customers switch to other items that are
26:27
affected or not affected by tariff, but we will continue to absorb some of the cost of tariffs to keep price hikes
26:34
below national retail averages.” In other words, we’re going to try with the tariffs, with all inflation, everything.
26:39
we’re gonna see if we can get our price increases to be lower than the national average. So, we’re trying to help the
26:45
consumer more. And they went back and they doubled down on who they were, which was America’s big box retailer.
26:53
And so, Target takes the L. Then, what do they do? They say, “Hey, we have
27:00
a great idea. The COO who’s been here, who’s part of this executive team, we’re going to put him in charge.” And he’s
27:06
been around forever. It’s like, “What? What?” It’s like I have two kids. Let’s say I got two 15-year-old sons. They’re
27:12
both delinquents. One of them breaks a bunch of windows in the neighborhood. And then we say, “That’s okay. This is
27:17
what I’m going to do. My other son is going to be president of Neighborhood Watch. That’ll work, right? Wait a
27:23
minute. He was running.” That’s actually a very good example you’re using there. It’s like, yeah, to say the same. So, let me ask
27:29
you though, would you bring somebody from the outside in this situation? Would you use the same Would you use somebody internally? Cuz maybe, you
27:35
know, uh uh maybe, just maybe, this guy was the problem. Maybe, just maybe, this guy was uh uh part of the issue of being
27:43
too much of DEI. Now, do we know if this guy, Michael Fideli, this guy was the
27:48
other guy’s right-hand guy? Is that Is that what we know? That’s correct. He was the COO. And sometimes I think you have to make the
27:54
move that Starbucks made. Hey, we chose the wrong guy. Goodbye. And we’re going to bring somebody from the outside cuz
28:00
we want the outside guy to address everybody. This guy’s the interim guy until they find a guy to get the full-time job
28:07
because Rob, can you pull up the picture I just I just sent you right now in text. Here’s what happened to the stocks. This is by far the best visual
28:13
to look at what I’m about to show you. Okay. It’s going to show you where Target stock price was couple years ago
28:19
compared to where Walmart is now today. Watch this. Bingo. The red is Target.
28:25
Look where Target was in 2022 and look where Walmart was. Actually, look at that number. Target was close to $300 a
28:33
share. Walmart was at $80 a share. Fast forward to today, Walmart’s nearly $300
28:39
a share. Target is at $60 a share, give or take. One bad leader can destroy a
28:46
brand. There was a point people were saying Target’s a better product than Walmart. But you know what? The moment
28:52
you forget what who your customer is, who who shops at your place, families,
28:58
families who can’t afford, this is low and middle- inome families that are coming to your place. Hell, we would go shop at Target. I’m telling you
29:04
ourselves, we would go shop at Target. And I’m a Sam Sam Walton guy. But you make decisions like this, you lose them.
29:10
The The thing that this was a double whammy, Tom, this is the part that was a double whammy. Not only did they lose
29:16
the family guys by going woke with the whole trans all that stuff, but you lose the black vote. How do you
29:22
do that? You lost both of them at the same time. That’s what you call double dumb is what you call it, right?
29:29
Ernest Hemingway school of gun cleaning. Adam thoughts. So, uh, go woke, go broke. I mean,
29:36
that’s a similar theme here. I mean, Target is basically the Disney of retail shopping. You know, don’t forget where
29:42
Target is, their headquarters is located. Do you know where it is? Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Minnesota.
29:47
Weird. So interesting. The George Floyd situation there at the tip of the spear. Meanwhile, you said that uh Walmart’s
29:55
headquarters where Arkansas, pretty red state, almost somebody call it one of the reddest states in the country. Uh
30:01
you know, I used to believe it or not, guys, there’s no Walmart in South Beach.
30:06
So, I haven’t been to Walmart in years. The only time I actually did spend time at Walmart is when I lived in this
30:12
beautiful, beautiful town town called Addison, Texas. I went to Walmart after
30:18
living in Miami my entire life and I was like, “Oh my god, everything’s free.” Everything
30:24
9249, like anything. You could buy anything
30:30
you want. It was crazy. Save that money. Uh there is a Target in Miami Beach oh in Miami that I’ll go to from time to
30:37
time and I understand why he said that you know certain people call it tar. It is a classier type of shopping
30:44
experience but uh go woke go broke. I don’t how do you think target is going to do you think they’re going to bounce
30:50
back from this Pat? Like what I don’t I don’t see throwing out here. This is the part I’m really trying to find out
30:56
on on was it was it DEI? Was it uh not uh uh listening to the African-American
31:04
community with that pastor who looks like he’s a second away from singing a song called My Mind’s Telling Me No, but
31:09
my body he looked I mean he looked like he was related. Yeah, I thought I was like he’s going to preach. But watch this here. So if you
31:15
Rob, can you pull up? Did Walmart have DEI and can you compare DEI policies
31:20
between Walmart and Target? compare DEI policies between Walmart and Target
31:26
because it’s not like Walmart wasn’t doing some DEI stuff. Walmart did do some DI. Yeah, Walmart did it as well, just not
31:32
at the level make the headlines for the full roll backup shift. So, they ended
31:37
their DI program November of 2020 for Trump got elected significantly scaling back the DEI uh
31:43
including sunsetting a racial equity center established for after George Floyd. phases out DEI language replacing
31:49
it with communication with terms like belonging and experience those still asserting that equity and non-discrimination remain core okay
31:56
stopped prioritizing suppliers based on racial gender diversity and also removed certain transgender okay so they had it
32:03
they removed it but they did have it yes so external reaction shareholders democratic official push back requesting
32:09
rollbacks lawmakers Arkansas changes okay now let’s go to target policy changes concluded uh major di initiives
32:17
early 2025. Okay, so they waited a couple months later including wrapping up the three-year DEI goal and reach
32:23
whatever. Okay, ended participation external diversity surveys. Management cited uh alignment with the evolving
32:30
external change, significant consumer push back, including boycott and loss of market value. Target reportedly shed
32:36
12.4 billion of market value and faced a 40-day boycott after the roll back. So, it’s
32:43
interesting. African-Americans at that church went after Target but not
32:48
Walmart. Why not? Because perception is reality. Yeah, that’s so they think Target is more woke than
32:55
just a few months moving faster for Walmart. Save them. But it’s not even the AfricanAmerican
33:02
roll back because if you go back up to Walmart, go back up a little bit more. Look what it says right there. External
33:08
reaction. Shareholders and Democratic officials pushed back requesting explanations for the roll back, calling
33:14
it disheartening while the stock went to 300. State lawmakers in Arkansas questioned Walmart leaders on the changes, and
33:20
Walmart responded by emphasizing that associate treatment, hiring practices, and supplier efforts have not changed.
33:26
Backlash from customers and staff followed, including boycots over the roll back Walmart defend. So So I I
33:32
don’t know. DEI may look somewhat similar here, but remember what the I stood for at Target.
33:37
DEI. They went hard to the hoop on trans and they did it around kids. So Target
33:46
put all that stuff all out in front when you walked in. Trans kids. So when you
33:52
look at you as that question, compare trans with Walmart and Target.
33:58
And while he’s doing that, Tom, I just don’t understand like when when you see what’s happening with Bud Light and you
34:04
see like these people, could they just not get out of their way? What makes you as a company with shareholders Pat go? You know what? Go for
34:09
Bud Light has not completely recovered. No. Hell no. They’re not going to completely. They came back up, but they did not.
34:14
Dana White went on board. Yeah, but guess what? They’re still I think Shane Gillis is now.
34:20
They’re getting more in line with who their customer is. Man, who drink beer? Yeah, but that that blow was a horrible
34:26
I honestly I honestly Walmart got lucky here. Truly Walmart got lucky here because
34:31
Walmart also had the trans stuff in their in their uh uh company as well. They simply got targeted and the CEO had
34:38
no clue how to handle it better. Their marketing team probably had no clue how to do it. Their PR team didn’t know how to handle it better. That tells you bad
34:44
PR, bad marketing, bad storytelling, bad leadership, moving too slowly, cost them $12 billion. And Walmart moved faster by
34:51
few months just by moving a couple months faster saved yourself $12 billion. I don’t know how much it cost
34:56
Walmart. Can you go to Walmart’s stock uh price, please, Rob? Go to Walmart stock price. Let’s just kind of go five
35:02
years if you don’t mind. Go to the fiveyear right there to the right. all the way to the right. Zoom out a little bit. Okay. Uh uh so let’s see right
35:07
there. So what uh interesting. So market cap. Can we go to market cap’s not 784?
35:13
What was Walmart’s market cap? Go to 2020. What was Walmart’s market cap 2020? Just ask the question.
35:20
No, if you just ask what was Walmart and Target’s market cap in 2020
35:29
versus Vinnie, you should know this. Like I messed up. I’m trying to find out because if we look at market cap because
35:36
stock doesn’t mean anything. It just you don’t know what the valuation is. I want to know how much was lost. So end of
35:41
2020, Walmart was a $48 billion company. Now it’s a 781 to $819 billion company.
35:50
Doubled. Wow. Target end of in 2020 was a $88 billion company. Damn.
35:56
They’re now only a 44 billion company. Yeah. So Walmart doubled in valuation,
36:02
Target split. So CO destroyed Target. While Target was getting close to
36:08
competing with Walmart, Walmart is officially Look, look what it was in 2020. Tom,
36:13
Walmart was only four and a half times bigger than Target. Mhm.
36:18
Walmart is now 20 times bigger than Target. They got destroyed.
36:24
Very, very interesting cuz it’s not as black and white as you see it here. It’s not. It’s not just DEI. Walmart’s a
36:30
better run organization. Organization. Yeah. I think there’s there’s more to it than we’re looking at. And um so anyways, we’ll see. We’ll
36:37
see what happens. People are just deciding, all right, I’m not going to go shop at Target. I’m going elsewhere.
36:42
A part of it could be so for example, the three words at the beginning of the year, speed, signal, product. Speed,
36:50
signal, product. Look at this. That’s the word I announced beginning of the year this year, right? Speed. How
36:56
fast did they address that DI wasn’t working? Not as fast as Walmart. How fast did they replace leadership team
37:03
that needed to be replaced? Not fast enough. Okay. Signal. How much noise did Target create
37:10
and not know how to handle the noise? Way more noise with Target than Walmart. Way more noise. And last but not least,
37:15
product. What did they actually buy, invest in, and and develop? What what
37:21
did Target do to make their product be better? Who knows? What did Walmart do? They made the investment. Tom, you look
37:27
like you want to say something. I want to ask you a question, please. Pat, you’re now on the board of Target. Yep.
37:32
That right there. Do you take the CEO COO of the last 10 years and put him in the chat?
37:37
I don’t I don’t do it. No. No. You’re right. That’s what I’m saying. The more I’m thinking about this, the more I’m going, I don’t even
37:44
think it’s DEI only. I don’t think it’s ESG only. I don’t think it’s uh black
37:49
vote only. I think it’s called Hey, you know, here’s here’s a question, Rob. Can you do me a favor? Can you find out if
37:55
Target ever reached out that pastor? You know that pastor from that church that the video came up? What’s his name?
38:01
Jamal Bryant. Can you ask if Target did Target ever reach out to Jamal Bryant to have a
38:07
conversation with him? I’m curious. I’m I’m going to assume. I’m actually curious. The target ever reach out.
38:12
I think to Jamal Bryan. Let’s see here.
38:18
Uh you’re asking about the target. Yes, there was one meeting between target
38:24
leadership. According to the Guardian, June of 2025, Brian Okay, that’s too late though. I mean, the bomb has gone. Yeah, that’s
38:31
way too late. More recently, as profiting, Brian stated he is open to meeting with Target’s incoming CEO to
38:37
negotiate a resolution. Target did reach out as evidence that the first meeting with Brian Cornell. However, no further communication has taken place. Brian
38:43
remains hopeful and willing to meet with the new CEO. I feel like Yeah, I don’t know. Why do you ask that? Cuz you’re saying
38:48
that they should have met with him. Yeah, I don’t know. I I just think like for example this takes me like you know NFL is going back to playing games
38:54
again. You got freaking male cheerleaders. You really think the product wants to see male cheerleaders in in what city in Minnesota?
39:02
You really think we want to go in there and see male cheerleaders? Honestly like you think we’re going to a game because
39:08
I want to see this guy shake his butt. You think I’m like oh my god I was so fantastic. Let me buy 40 other tickets
39:14
and take my kids to the flipping game. And then they still have those three things, love and all these things you
39:19
got to choose at the end of the end zone. It’s just it’s just dumb. Every time you think they’re making some kind
39:24
of progress, they go back to this of bringing it back up and putting back into the American faces.
39:30
It’s so disappointing. Stop playing this flipping game. When Colin Kaepernick’s deal happened in 2017, you know what’s
39:36
the first question I was asking is did Roger Goodell meet with the leadership
39:42
team fast? No, they didn’t. What happened? NFL went to a show and lost a bunch of customers and now they
39:48
have this thing going out right now, but NFL is a number one product in America, but it’s a number seven product worldwide. So, if you want to if you
39:55
want to improve and you know who your clientele is, you want me to go look at male
40:00
cheerleaders? Seriously, we’re talking about male cheerleaders. Roger, you think that’s what we want to do? I don’t
40:06
know. And by the way, it may be left to owners. So maybe the onus is not on Roger Kodell for the owners choose to
40:14
have male cheerleaders. Okay. So double what percentage of NFL teams have male cheerleaders? Can we figure this thing
40:19
out? And I’m not even talking about the holders. Patriot cuz the holders are big boys. I’m talking about I would say seven or eight
40:26
Patriots. Uh what percentage percentage have one male cheerleader?
40:32
No, there’s a couple Ravens 12. 12 now have male cheerleaders. Yeah, but I want to know what these
40:37
cheerleaders look like. Are they holding the pom pom? Here’s the one. Here’s the thing. What?
40:42
So, so this put it on the teams. Can you ask the question, who in whose discretion is it? Can the
40:50
NFL can the NFL um force? No. Uh uh uh mandate that NFL owners
40:59
can’t have male cheer cheerleaders. Jeez. Can the NFL mandate that NFL owners
41:06
can’t have male cheerleaders? which is great because you break down NFL league authority with their team. The NFL is a
41:11
private league. The team owners operate as franchise. The league does not have authority to impose uniform rules. Okay.
41:16
In theory, NFL could adopt a rule requiring all cheerleader squads to follow certain guidelines. However,
41:22
employment practices including cheerleading hiring are landed at the team level, not centrally. Cheerleaders
41:27
are generally hired by teams management not by the league league and a blanket ban on male cheerleaders would likely
41:33
face legal challenges. Okay, that’s exactly where I thought it was going to go. So, okay, I understand that part that if you do that now, but for you to
41:40
put the other stuff, which is what? End racism, start with love. Can you What were the phrases, Rob, that you’re
41:45
doing? And they have to, by the way, they have to pick one. That’s That’s not And by the way, I think we need to be careful with this. Male cheerleaders
41:51
sometimes means the big strong guy that’s helping make the pyramid. I want to know if it’s trans cheerleaders.
41:57
Let’s ask how many NFL team have trans had just quit. So, we have to put end racism, stop,
42:03
hate, choose, love, inspire change. It takes all of us. Change what? Change what? Give me a flipping break. Like, I was
42:08
done watching the NBA product, but playoffs. I was done. I haven’t rooted for the Lakers since the day they signed
42:14
LeBron. You want to bring this back? Seriously, you want to bring this back?
42:19
What in racism, bro? What? What in racism? You talking about in the 1800s,
42:26
we looked at data the other day, only one and a half% of people were slave owners, white people were slave owners, and was mostly in the South that was
42:32
mostly Democrats. And I want to put it on our face that we have to end racism. Oh my god. Let me just watch the damn
42:38
game. Touchdown, field goal, interception, wiped out, big
42:45
hit, great catch, and racism. CT. Give me a break. Give me a flipping
42:52
break, dude. Holy Like, give me a break, Roger. You’re getting this close
42:59
to bringing the product back and you put this on our face again.
43:04
Oh my goodness. Like this is so annoying. What else needs to happen for you to see this? Why do you think people
43:11
Anyways, man, this is just annoying. They have no I’m so glad I’m not even You okay, Pat?
43:16
I’m not It’s not It’s annoying because you almost had it. What are you doing? Why go back? What are you doing? It’s 2025.
43:23
Did you not see who won the presidency? What do you mean racism?
43:30
Ah, double dump. Woke agenda. Can I just say one thing about Minnesota? Cuz you know, my mom’s from Minnesota. I got a love for
43:35
Minnesota. What the hell’s going on in Minnesota these days? You know, the the slogan for Minnesota is Minnesota nice.
43:41
Everyone’s nice in Minnesota. Oh, hey. How you doing? Well, there was a a famous book. What? Uh, no more Mr. Nice
43:47
Guy, Pat. Nice guys finish last. Here are a couple things that I just off the top of my head. Minnesota, Minnesota,
43:53
Minnesota. Tampon Tim Walls. Target. They’re headquartered in Minnesota. We
43:58
know what’s going on there. George Floyd, we’ve saw what happened with that. Ilhan Omar, the squad, leader of the squad, doing her thing. Little
44:04
Moadishu, we see what’s going on there. Their mayor, Jacob Fry, out there speaking Somalian to basically pander to
44:11
voters. This dude, whoever this guy is right now, if you could show a picture of this guy, male cheerleaders. Something’s going on in the waters of
44:18
Minnesota. And it ain’t America, it’s Somalia. This goes back a long time.
44:24
Walter Manddale was out there and it’s the only state that Reagan didn’t win. And then they asked Ronald Reagan, “What
44:30
do you want for your birthday?” And he said, “How about Minnesota?” And that would have been a clean sweep. Uh, first time in history. But go back to there.
44:36
Go back to George. You go back and Minnesota has been this outpost of
44:42
weirdness going back 50 years. Yeah. All right. Let’s transition away from not transition. I’m transitioning.
44:50
Let’s move on to the next story. Patient story. Moving. I want to get to the next one. I
44:57
want to get to the next one. Where is the story about Jerry Mandering with uh Gavin Newsome? Do you know that? Is that
45:02
in the addendum? Could be in the addendum that we’re looking at. You know what? Matter of fact, since we’re already in this story, let’s just wrap this up with the story cuz it’s all
Cracker Barrel loses customers over rebrand.
45:09
coming together. Cracker Barrel, okay, loses almost $und00 million in value as
45:15
stock plunges after new logo release. Okay, Rob, if you can pull this up,
45:21
please, and and show this. And then do you have the clip that I sent you or is it a different one? This one. So, this is the CEO of Cracker
45:27
Barrel. Okay, they went from the stock went from uh uh 4, it dropped 422, 7.2%.
45:35
You’ll see the clip here. This is what the CEO had to say about changing the logo from what it was before to what it
45:41
is today. We don’t have to show the whole thing, but you got to see the first 10 seconds. Go ahead, Rob.
45:47
Overwhelmingly positive that people like what we’re doing. Honestly, the feedback’s been overwhelmingly positive that people like
45:53
what we’re doing. The feedback and the buzz is so good, not only from our customers, but from our team members.
45:59
Okay. How? How? Okay. So, Rob, can you go do me a favor and go to Cracker
46:06
Barrel Stock? The The response is overwhelmingly positive. From who? The
46:12
LGBTQ community. Who? From who? It’s positive. I actually want to know. Look
46:18
how what what looks overwhelmingly positive about that uh decision that you made. I I want you to make that
46:23
argument. What is overwhelmingly positive? Employees said they liked it. Yeah. So, it dropped. Now, here’s the thing. No, they didn’t.
46:29
Tom, what what is the What is the big deal of this story? Is this even a story? Should we just skip it and say,
46:35
“Who cares? Let Cracker Barrel do whatever they want to do with their logo. Not a big deal. Redskins change their names to, you know, Commandos.”
46:42
And uh uh I know, I know. I’m just calling Commander, but you know, whatever they want to call themselves. Why is this such a big deal?
46:48
Um here’s why it’s a big deal. because she’s not just changing a logo, it’s
46:55
changing a culture. Now, if you’ve been into Cracker Barrel, you know, they’re
47:00
connected to a lot of, you know, um, big service stations and you can go in there
47:06
and I love it. Grab a beverage or something. You know what I’m talking about? I love Cracker Bar. We’ve been there. And, um, I do, too. We had this one,
47:13
there was a Cracker Barrel that, uh, we used to stop at. We drove from Dallas to Atlanta, see my mom and we would stop at
47:19
this one Cracker Barrel in the same place. And the girls just thought it was hysterical. You know, the kind of old
47:24
folksy homie and fried chicken and southern stuff. And you know, we thought this kind of cool
47:29
and they serve alcohol. You could drink. Well, we didn’t do that while we were driving. So the um they didn’t pull over
47:37
and take the point. No, I usually I usually let
47:42
Bailey sit up front and I’m back in the back seat making pruno in a plastic bag. So it’s like
47:48
so I just bored on the trip to Atlanta. So Cracker Barrel is not just changing a logo. They say, “Hey, we’re changing the
47:54
logo and we’re cleaning it up.” Companies change the logos all the time. They freshen them up. They change them a
48:00
little bit. This they remove the icon of the folksy, you know, general store that
48:07
it was and says we’ve also moved items that aren’t selling. That’s not a big deal either. Stores do that every day.
48:13
Hey, you know what? You know, honey roasted peanuts aren’t selling. Let’s have regular peanuts in bulk. They make
48:18
decisions like that all the time. And they cleaned up the store a little bit. They said they’re going to lighten the
48:24
the the decor inside. And because every so many years they’re changing tables
48:29
and stuff, they get old. And now it’s like they’re moving the culture. That’s
48:35
what’s going on, Pat. And people are reacting very similarly to when Coke changed
48:42
Coke. Yeah. And that goes back 40 years now. Sergio Zimman, I believe it’s like 40 years now
48:48
where Coke changed Coke. And I it’s a culture. They’re moving culture, not just changing a logo. And this and CEO
48:55
Julie Fels Masino has stepped on the third rail here. And she’s out there
49:00
just using words along with the CMO. and you are getting obliterated from X to
49:07
Reddit to Wall Street, which means that as a leader, she’s handling a change terrible. Forget what it is. As a CEO,
49:14
you’re handling a change horribly, but you’re touching one person that I believe can change it.
49:20
One person that I believe can change it. If you hire this PR person who overnight, overnight,
49:27
Cracker Barrel, Cracker Barrel, let me tell you who it is. I want you look at me, Rob, if you’re ready. There’s one person that
49:32
can change it. Hold on. I want to do I want to be serious. She can change it. She can change. Wow.
49:38
Can we go out for some reason? Except the shirt is not the proper shirt. Okay.
49:44
But country store. The old country store. If Cracker Barrel hired her
49:49
goes hires a country boy CEO. Oh my god. He comes up and says, “Hey,
49:55
Sydney Sweeney. We is that Sydney Sweeny?” You know, it’s an AI version of Sydney Sweeney. We we
50:01
kind of, you know, she’s like nine fingers. That there is kind of Texas. Can I make
50:06
an observation? Can you show the CEO of uh Crack Crack? By the way, no, no, no. Folks,
50:12
I just want to prepare you guys. It’s not Sydney Sweeney. The CEO is somebody else. So, you have to prepare. Go for
50:18
it. This is the CEO of Can I make observation? Those those glasses, anybody that wears those
50:24
glasses, Stephven Coar, Rosie O’Donnell, Rachel Maddo, Mark Cuban, they all once
50:30
you put those on, something bad’s coming and your brain is Where’s her background, Rob? Can we see what her background is? Maybe we’re
50:36
being unfair. Can you go to her LinkedIn profile? Maybe she’s been there since 23. I just want to know where was she at
50:42
before and where does she come in from? So, here’s Julie Cracker Barrel, Coin
50:48
Bman, Vivid Seats. Okay. Khan. Well, she was a board member of Khan. So, it’s all
50:53
board member. Board member. She was at Taco Bell. The president five years and six months. And by the way, you know who was at Taco Bell if
50:59
I’m not mistaken? Brian Nickel was at Taco Bell at one point in time. Was he or was he not? The CEO of
51:04
Can you Can you go to Brian Nickel? Was he at Taco Bell or loves eat every day?
51:09
Yeah. I believe Yum Brands. Yeah. Yeah. So, he was so 20. So, okay. 2011 to 2018 he was there. So, she came after
51:16
him, which means they didn’t work together. So, probably not the same idea. So, if you can go back to her resume, go to show all previous. Okay,
51:23
there’s no go a little bit higher, Rob. Go a little bit higher. Right after Taco Bell. Where was she at after Taco Bell?
51:28
North America, Irvine, California. Go a little lower. SVP. She was Sprinkles in LA. Fisher Prince
51:34
and at Starbucks. I’ve seen enough. Florida director Starbucks 12 years. I don’t know. I don’t see if I I don’t
51:40
know if I see a pattern of making this dumb of a decision. I don’t know if I see Coach,
51:46
my favorite purse. I don’t know if I see any kind of a but I don’t I don’t see a line in line.
51:51
I don’t see a brand line that lines up with Cracker Bell. You see that? Yeah. You see the brand she’s been associated with. I then you know who that’s on you know
51:58
who that’s on. What’s on the board and who hired her? What the hell were you thinking hiring somebody like that? Well, I mean I remember one time we
52:04
hired somebody. Okay. And one of our guys brought the story up to me yesterday. We hired this person.
52:11
I don’t know how much of this I can Let me just tell you what happened. We’re at this meeting, okay? And we’re sitting
52:20
there with a bunch of people that run massive hotels, okay? And this person we
52:26
hired, we don’t know what side they’re on, and you know, they’re having conversations. These are pretty 2030 heavyweights.
52:32
And somebody asked the question of who is your hero? And this person chose to
52:37
go first. All right. Now, you have to realize this is this person’s first week with us. Okay?
52:44
loaded resume and this person says two of my biggest heroes in my life are
52:51
Anthony Fouchy and Joe Biden. No. Representing us. So I’m sitting there couple of my
52:58
employees who are sitting there. They what do you call it? They uh they’re holding back. No, no, they can hold it back. They like
53:04
choke. You know how you kind of like you know like that one of those moments. So I’m like spit it out. Yeah. I’m like
53:10
that’s great. And what can I say? Oh my god. So I’m like, “That’s great.” And then the guys over there that we don’t know
53:16
where they’re at politically. Yeah. You understand what I’m saying? Like all the big hotels. No, we don’t know them. So it’s not like we’re friends. We’re just all trying to
53:22
do business together. And I’m trying to see like we’re building a rapport. Then I’m looking at their body language
53:29
and couple of them are like, “Yeah, I don’t know about Anthony Fouchy.” You know, one of them says, “Jeo Biden’s a
53:35
nice man.” And you know, obviously. And another person’s like, “I don’t know if I would say my hero, but it’s a good president.” They were
53:41
both liberals, but you could tell the hero for them would be more like Obama or something like that. Heroes up there, baby. So, let me tell you, sometimes when you
53:48
hire, you really have to hire and kind of see where people are at because if your brand is a very bold brand, that
53:56
actual audience on that side has to trust, you have to do a little bit more
54:02
digging for that individual to match your brand. Does that make sense? Like for example, if if CNN all of a sudden
54:09
went and hired Charlie Kirk as a CEO, that’s a shock to CNN’s audience. Big time. And if and if Fox all of a sudden went
54:16
and hired Jeff Zucker as their CEO. Jeez. The audience will be like, “What? What? What’s the announcement? What happened?”
54:21
Breaking news. Fox News just hired Satan, stock market crash. But you to the audience that doesn’t
54:28
make sense. So I put the onus on Cracker Barrel. Crack it. Why’ you hire her before you, you know,
54:33
brought her on board? Uh Adam, thoughts before we move on. The big thing is they changed their logo. They took the old guy out the freaking
54:40
thing because it’s offensive. It’s offensive cuz he’s flat. He’s whack. But talk about Cracker
54:45
Barrel. Okay. Well, that’s the big deal. Yeah. Look how he was. He was leaning on a on a barrel and he’s a cracker.
54:51
So, the big deal for Cracker Barrel is they removed the cracker and the barrel from Cracker Barrel. Taking anima off of the bottle. It’s
54:56
like they did, you dumbass. Okay. If you really actually care, uh, don’t call it Cracka Barrel. Well, I
55:04
mean I mean I think we’re missing the point here. They removed the subtle messaging here.
55:10
I just call it like the whitey waffle. Just call it the barrel. Well, now it’s just it’s not even the barrel. I don’t know. They still kept showing
55:17
up. Could you imagine if this were a different restaurant? Cracker Barrel. What you call it? If you’re looking for a replacement,
55:23
Adam. Yeah. Let Adam just lean up on them like here. We’re going to call it Bagel Barn moving forward.
55:28
Adam would call it the the the Jewish barrel. Adam would call it the, you know,
55:34
you know, the lock. Hey, no, let me tell you something. Taste the soup. You’d call it taste the soup. What’s wrong with the soup? Try the soup. Let me tell you something. My dad
55:40
was notorious, but me and my dad had a very contentious relationship. And every once in a while, when we were ready to
55:45
meet, we would meet at a local restaurant. Usually, it was Denny’s. Uh,
55:50
classy. And then when my parents got divorced, I don’t know, I guess he wasn’t near a Denny’s, it would always be Cracker
55:56
Barrel. Nice fight broke out. And then, no, we were always there. And obviously, you know, we did our cracker
56:02
thing. But then it’s interesting enough, my dad, shout out to you, dad, rest in peace. He started dating a black lady.
56:08
Really? Yeah. No, straight up. And next thing you know, he’s like, “Meet me at Waffle House.”
56:15
And next, and that’s what that that became a joke. This is not a joke. So, what was the
56:21
lady’s name? What was the lady’s name? I can’t talk about that. However, my dad would roll with the would roll with the
56:26
punches here a little bit depending on who was dating. You know, we’d meet at the different type of restaurants.
56:31
They used to be Cracker Barrel. By the way, you That’s so gay. I’m telling you right now, I have a
56:37
whole different little respect. Oh, no. No. No. You don’t understand. My dad was a sister. When you said she dated a sister, I
56:42
thought it was like a nun, not an actual sister. Oh, no. He was Damn. Well, actually none is also kind
56:49
of weird. That’s very weird. aren’t supposed to. Then he would take his black girlfriend two cracker barrels. Everybody was
56:56
I guess the story just just went cracker. You know, first we’re talking house.
57:03
Okay. All right. I think we should make racism great again. Yeah. I mean, the rant that you went on, not
57:08
if you score a touchdown in the end zone, we have By the way, it’s not racist if you make fun of any
57:14
sensitivity epic. Let’s just head to racism. Looking forward to watching football.
57:20
So looking forward to watching football and you do something stupid like that.
57:26
Some stupid like that after watching anyway fumble the balls cuz Roger
57:31
Goodell is a cracker barrel. Let’s go to the next Roger Goodell has CT. And by the way, Roger Bar Roger Roger Barl
57:37
Roger Goodell was just standing behind Trump a couple weeks ago. Weird.
57:43
I don’t know about this. All right, let’s go to redistricting. All right. California Democrats passed Nuome’s
California passes redistricting plan.
57:49
redistricting plan. Rob, if you want to pull up the clip as I’m going through the story
57:55
here. So, they so they finally get this thing passed and he blames uh Trump and Texas for it. Here’s him celebrating. Do
58:01
you have the where afterwards he’s saying a couple things? Yeah, right there. If you can do that. So here’s Gavin Newsome accelerates the process
58:09
and Democratic control legislator formally approved a plan Thursday to redraw the state’s congressional lines teen up a special election on November
58:16
4. Proposition 50 which includes a constitutional amendment and two bills layout logistics and map proposals with
58:22
govern Gavin Newsome set to sign them. We’re responding to what occurred in Texas and we’re neutralizing what
58:29
occurred and we’re giving the American people a fair chance. Okay, play the clip here, Rob. Go for it.
58:35
We got here because the president of the United States is struggling. We got here because the president of the
58:40
United States is one of the most unpopular presidents in US history. Wow. We got here because he recognizes that
58:47
he will lose the election. Congress will go back into the hands of the Democratic party next November. We got here because
58:54
of his failed policies. Yeah. Those are being exposed hour by hour. Reinforced today by Walmart
59:00
announcing they’ll be raising prices because of the tax increases because of the tariffs.
59:05
Oh my god. Reminded every day by a slowing economy, growing mistrust, distrust all across
59:12
this nation, across the board, he is failing. He recognized that and that’s
59:17
why he made a phone call to Greg Abbott asking for five seats. Can’t win by playing by traditional sets of rules. He
59:25
applies by no rules. I remind you all the time. It’s not the rule of law. It’s the rule of Don. You’re so funny. Pause it right there.
59:31
Rob, do me a favor. Gavin, I got a question for you. Rob, I just texted you something. Have you read this article at
59:37
all? Have you gone to this article, Gavin, respectfully, can you tell us what happened here? Why is it that
59:44
Democrats get lowest rating from voters in 35 years? Why is that? I’m actually curious. Why do you think that is? Why
59:51
do you think that it’s gotten to a point where you had to either hire two trolls, three trolls as a team to tweet like
59:59
Trump and send messages like Trump non-stop and, you know, to think and to
1:00:06
see if you can beat the guy by trying to be like him? Why is it that you’re such a honestly and and by the way, I mean,
1:00:13
there’s a part of me, you know, when I was younger, my my dream was to be an actor, okay? And I even went to acting
1:00:19
coaches. You’re still good though. I’m gonna throw that out. I don’t know if I’m a you know, but but listen, but it was a dream. Like this is
1:00:25
why I love movies. This is why, you know, I I think there’s so much power and we’re going to get into the movie business next two to five years.
1:00:31
We’re building a lot of stuff here on our campus. If you see our campus every day there’s something new that’s being built. We’re going to build a massive
1:00:36
amphitheater. We’re going to build a uh three uh eightstory buildings here to house 1500 employees, 2,000. We’re doing
1:00:42
a lot of stuff here that no one’s aware of. But it’s exciting times that we’re going through, right? But I wanted to be an actor.
1:00:48
And you’ll watch a movie and and you’ll see someone act a part and I’m like, I
1:00:53
that was horrible. I think I can do better than that guy in that part. I I just didn’t feel the emotion in that part. I would have taken this angle. Right. You do this all the time cuz
1:01:00
you’re a phenomenal actor. Right. Thank you. It’s natural for you. Okay. And we listen. I don’t want to undermine
1:01:05
Chad. He’s also great. But I put you at the top. So wherever Chad has, shout out to you. Please don’t be upset.
1:01:10
God bless you. Really good, too. I’m watching I’m watching I’m watching Gavin Newsome. Okay, like the younger
1:01:17
guys out there that can cut clips, you know what would be a great clip to cut if somebody shows how many personalities
1:01:24
this guy has. Okay, the hardcore liberal, the tough
1:01:29
guy, the independent centrist, the guy that wants to sit down and talk to Charlie Kirk and other Republicans and
1:01:37
move a little bit more to the center. Okay, then the guy that’s willing to go AOC, you know, all the way to the left.
1:01:44
than the guy that wants to go blame Trump. Then the guy that wants to take responsibility then the guy I mean who
1:01:51
are you buddy? You know are you somebody that’s just the chameleon that’s trying to adapt and
1:01:57
f and no one knows. Do you know what’s the most attractive thing about Trump? Do you know what the guy’s about? He you
1:02:04
you don’t have to like it. He’s going to tell you what he stands for. What the hell do you stand for, buddy? What do
1:02:10
you stand for? And and everybody knows you’re trying to run for office.
1:02:16
Everybody knows you’re dying to be a president. Everybody knows that. Kudos because people are talking about it. So
1:02:22
you got to give him credit cuz he’s getting the eyeballs. So he’s definitely know how to get the eyeballs there. But
1:02:27
you know, if this thing passes, Tom, if this thing passes, what was it? Prop what? What prop was it, Rob? Prop what?
1:02:33
Prop uh 90 uh uh whatever the proposition was that he talks about in the let me read this real quick so I I
1:02:40
give the right prop credit. So proposition uh 50 right November 4th. So
1:02:46
you this this Proposition 40 is going to pass. There’s 80% chance this is going to pass.
1:02:51
80 80% chance this is going to pass. So then it goes from a 43-9
1:02:56
House of Representatives in the state of California to 48-4 Democrats to Republicans. Guess
1:03:03
what Republicans? You’re done in California. Your voice doesn’t matter. And FYI, America who likes Nuome, if you
1:03:12
guys for a second start getting with this Trump is bad and he is horrible and
1:03:18
all the people that voted for him and now are like, I just don’t like him and he didn’t keep his promises and all this
1:03:23
other stuff. No problem. This guy’s going to come in and do the same thing to America. Just letting you know. Okay,
1:03:29
just letting you know. So, the good news is the fact that Republicans bench is going to be very deep for 2028. It’s
1:03:35
going to be a dog fight, but uh this guy’s playing games and he’s acting non-stop and he cannot make up who he
1:03:42
wants to be. He reminds me of what Romney did when he almost beat Obama and he listens to one of his campaign
1:03:48
marketing girls that said, “Don’t be too tough on uh Obama after Benghazi. You
1:03:53
were too strong and you won that debate.” When he beat him, he destroyed Obama in the second debate. Absolutely
1:03:59
destroyed the guy. And in the third debate, he doesn’t once bring up Benghazi and he wants to win over female
1:04:04
voters because hey, talk about salad and health. What? Romney could have been a
1:04:10
president, but he listened to somebody confuse the hell out of him. And it looks like this guy’s marketing team
1:04:15
can’t make up their minds what side they’re on. Tom, what are your thoughts with this him passing? He putting all
1:04:20
the blame on Trump. Where do you see this thing taking place? Well, first of all, Gavin Newsome has become Cibil. Civil was a movie way back
1:04:28
late 70s 80s about this uh poor young woman suffering from split personalities. And so here we have Gavin
1:04:34
Newsome, a poor young woman suffering from split personalities. And I look I’m going to read I’m going to read some
1:04:40
things that this says. I don’t even need to say anything. I don’t have to conjure up a a a feeling or a synopsis here cuz
1:04:47
I have from one of his harshest critics right here. It’s quote, “It’s quite embarrassing actually how Nome is
1:04:54
arguing and targeting the wrong opponent. Donald Trump’s not on the ballot in 2026 for midterms. He’s not on
1:05:00
the ballot in 28. You’re not running against Donald Trump.” Says your post using all caps, inflammatory language,
1:05:07
or trying to capture attention. This is the attention economy you’re going after. Why don’t you talk about
1:05:12
affordability and policies and good ideas? You’ve got to get attention somehow. So you’re on social media doing
1:05:18
parodies of Donald Trump. I think you need to look behind beyond 26. Your approach includes these AI generated v
1:05:26
visuals and phrases. Please uh Vinnie and guess who that was?
1:05:31
Who? Joe Scarboro. Rob, I just think Rob, can you show harshest crit by the way? Good call. Play when you’ve got Scarboro saying
1:05:38
this clip. Go for it. Democrats are trying to find their footing and it’s it’s it’s
1:05:44
quite embarrassing actually. I mean, Gavin Newsome, I mean, have you seen what he’s doing online and say, just
1:05:51
take a deep breath. Don’t don’t try to turn the ship 180
1:05:56
degrees and and one they don’t know what to do. I have a good idea. Instead of
1:06:02
trying to make school Donald Trump, talk into the camera about affordability,
1:06:09
talk about making groceries like more more affordable. Talk about what you’re going to do for housing. Talk about what
1:06:16
you’re going to do for energy prices that continue to go up. We heard the congressman yesterday talk about energy
1:06:23
prices skyrocketing in New Jersey. You know, don’t try. Yeah. As as as I’ve
1:06:30
been saying. Yeah. You’ve been saying Donald Trump’s not on the ballot in 26. He’s not on the ballot
1:06:36
in 28. He said that last week over. Why try to drag Muhammad Ali in the ring
1:06:42
when you got Chuck Weapner standing right in front of you? Weapner’s a bleeder. He’s a bleeder. You want him.
1:06:50
So why are you going I’m going after Donald No, you’re not you’re not running against Donald Trump.
1:06:57
Go after Tweedle D or Tweedle Dumb. You know Chuck Weber a pleader. Go after
1:07:04
him. No disrespect Chuck. Yeah, all due respect, of course, he kind of held in there long
1:07:09
inspired Rocky, many people say, isn’t it, Rob, who are the two people
1:07:15
that are behind his uh Instagram and social media push? Where where are those people at? Do you know where they’re at,
1:07:21
Rob? Um, you guys have to see like, and again, I I have a feeling one of them has dark glasses. Let’s see. Let’s see.
1:07:28
Come on. Come on. Where there’s It’s two younger looking people that are It’s all good. Rob, could you Can we play the
1:07:34
clip pack? cuz I I want to I want to go in on Gavin a little bit. Can you show the clip of him saying what he wants
1:07:40
them to start doing to to Republicans, which I think is a call. It’s a call to action. And if he wants to play that
1:07:46
game, which clip is it? He says punch them in the Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can we show like And guys, and just and and again, I want
1:07:52
everybody out there remember when we hit when they hit us low, we go high. All that BS that you heard from all these
1:07:59
fake ass Democrats, okay? They’re the party of violence. Let’s not don’t forget that, okay? These are the people
1:08:05
and this is a call to action because those two people and Rob’s gonna find who they are. This is the type of attitude that they’re telling uh
1:08:11
Democrats to have. Rob, go ahead. Yeah. Oh, by the way, oh, weird. They both have the glasses. Get out of here.
1:08:16
These are the two people that are in charge of his social media. These are the guys and the girl. They always have
1:08:22
dark glasses. I’m on to something. Rob, play the clip with him. Yeah, play the play the clip. I don’t care about their looks. Their
1:08:28
work is what is terrible. Yeah. Well, the glasses that tell this is your federal rigging of a
1:08:34
midterm election. Radical rigging of an election. Destroying vandalizing
1:08:42
this democracy was a democracy, the rule of law. So, I’m sorry. I know some people’s sensibilities. I I respect
1:08:49
and appreciate that. But right now, with all due respect, we’re walking down a damn different
1:08:55
path. We’re fighting fire with fire and we’re going to punch these sons of in the mouth. Okay. Okay. You know, you can’t say that
1:09:02
wearing that shirt in that studio. I mean, you just don’t look That does not look like a guy that’s
1:09:09
going to come down there and pop somebody. Go. No. Fast forward a little bit more to to when he starts saying punching. Yeah. Go right there. Thank you.
1:09:15
Appreciate that. But right now, with all due respect, we’re walking down a damn
1:09:20
different path. We’re fighting fire with fire and we’re going to punch these sons of in the mouth. Oh, amen to
1:09:26
that. We’re going to punch these sons of in the mouth. Like what? Like if that’s not a call to
1:09:32
action, meaning we’re going to fight, like we’re going to get violent. And my can I just break it down really bad? He
1:09:38
said this is a radical rigging of a midterm, says the guy who’s made it illegal to ask for identification to
1:09:45
vote in his godforsaken state. Okay? And he said, “Destroying, vandalizing this democracy. We live in a constitutional
1:09:51
republic.” I’m breaking down everything. He’s full of Sorry for my language. and the rule of law. He’s talking about the rule of law. Again,
1:09:57
Democrats are the going against everybody with law, using lawfare. And then he said fighting fire with fire,
1:10:03
saying the guy that his state can’t fight fire with water cuz there isn’t any. Okay, this guy is an absolute joke.
1:10:09
And I just hope like cuz he has a backing. Obviously, people are going to vote for this guy. Californians, wake
1:10:15
up. Do you see what this guy’s if you can’t see that he is a slithering freaking snake? Number one in homeless,
1:10:22
number one in unemployment. Okay. When the fires are are raging, nobody’s to be found, and then they’re buying up all
1:10:28
the land that people in the Palisades can’t even buy their freaking uh land or or build houses there. I hope you guys
1:10:34
wake up. Maybe it’s maybe it’s time for a change. Larry Elder had a chance. You guys had a chance to recall this guy and
1:10:40
you did it. It’s it’s Stockholm syndrome, Pat. It has to be. You guys love abuse. You love the high taxes. You
1:10:46
like the crime. Keep doing it. Keep doing it unless you want to change. And I’m tired of all these people calling me
1:10:52
and complaining about California. What am I doing? What the hell am I doing? It’s your fault. You guys keep voting
1:10:57
for this because the other side’s Hitler and the other side’s bad. No, you guys need to wake up, man. And I get it,
1:11:03
people. My whole family lives there. My whole family lives there. But unless you guys make radical change, it ain’t going to happen.
1:11:09
Amen. Well, I don’t think Gavin Newsome could run again for uh governor of California.
1:11:15
No, he’s going for president. He’s 2026. I mean, he’s just at the same time, he’s trying
1:11:21
to basically play to his base in California that basically will do anything other than appease Donald Trump. We know that about
1:11:27
Newsome. But don’t be surprised when he runs for president and he tries to do what he did in San Francisco and just
1:11:33
clean it all up when she and the Communist Party and he’s going to put lipstick on a pig and he’s going to try to pretend that he’s doing a great job
1:11:40
and he’s going to try to just clean it all up. And we know what Gavin Newsome is. He’s a complete actor. He’s a
1:11:46
complete chameleon and he’s the best politician in the United States. If you want to know what an amazing politician
1:11:53
but a disgusting human looks like, look no further than Gavin Newsome. He’ll he’ll flip-flop. He’ll change. He’ll
1:12:00
act. He’ll put on a tough guy act. He’ll be LGBT friendly. He’ll protect families
1:12:05
all in one sentence. You know, California, you know, good luck to you. Bless your heart.
1:12:11
Yeah. Well, we’ll see. We’ll see what’s going to happen here as we’re going through uh the next phase. November 4th
1:12:17
is when the vote is. There’s a lot of stuff going on on November 4th. You know what else is going on November 4th? Madani, New York,
1:12:23
mayor. Saw a clip the other day of him crying. I’ve seen the amount of death threats he’s getting for being Muslim. And I’m
1:12:29
just seeing this guy, watching what this guy is doing. Slowly but surely, slowly but surely,
1:12:34
he is he is winning the the the naive voters over and you’re going to see
1:12:39
suddenly him showing up and uh becoming who uh a lot of people
1:12:45
didn’t think that a outsider could win there, but uh it looks like he’s going to be doing that. Anyways, let me get to the next story here. Uh next story I
1:12:52
want to go to is um
1:12:57
I’m trying to see which one. Okay, let’s go with this one here. Military preparing attacks on Mexican cartels.
Trump targeting Mexico Cartels with U.S. Military.
1:13:03
Okay. Uh so this story came out because they’ve been going back and forth with uh the president of Mexico and it’s been
1:13:10
a lot of weird stories back and forth. The Trump administration directed the military to prepare lethal strikes
1:13:15
against cartel targets in Mexico with a top secret order issued in late spring 2025 tasking Norton command to manage
1:13:22
attacks by midepptember. as a senior intelligence office stated, not only is Donald Trump un uh uh equally uniquely
1:13:31
uh focused on TCOs uh having designated uh them terrorists is one of his first
1:13:37
executive orders, but he has shown himself to be willing to take unilateral action despite potentially negative
1:13:43
political ramification. The order discussed at a July meeting in Colorado Springs led by Kobby Jenkins unconfirmed
1:13:51
assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low inensity
1:13:56
conflict could involve unilateral actions uh without Mexican approval. General Gregory M. Gillot Northcom
1:14:04
commander hosted Mexican military leaders uh uh Mexican Navy uh secretary
1:14:09
administration Raymond Pedro Morales Angelus emphasized joint operations saying today more than ever the
1:14:14
challenges we are face we face demand a joint coordinated and adapted response
1:14:20
Tom thoughts I’ll tell you the Mexican president she is out there saying oh you will not do
1:14:26
things here you will not do things here and they’re cutting deals where that they’ve got drug dealers on death row uh
1:14:32
we’ll ship you to the United States if you agree that they’re just uh life without parole and we we’ll do this.
1:14:38
We’re making these prisoners prisoner not even swaps are just sending them. So
1:14:43
you’ve got that president going out saying all that. Meanwhile, Vinnie, look at this. In February 2025, her own Navy
1:14:51
admirals and admiral secretary were getting together with our military
1:14:56
talking about, you know, um Eegis class cruisers and destroyers uh coming up to
1:15:03
the coast of Mexico. And there’s three of them that have been sent down there um that have all of this radar and
1:15:10
missile warfare stuff. And then they have these Poseidons, which are these great big radar airplanes that fly over.
1:15:16
They already have the targets. They know what they’re going after. And they’re going down here. It’s just waiting for
1:15:22
them to push the button. And the hypocrisy that’s come from the Mexican president. You will last week, remember
1:15:28
she screaming, “You will not step foot over here.” Okay, we won’t step foot, but we’ll wheel up three of our baddest
1:15:34
destroyers, all these missileg guided ships. We’ll put three of them over here. We’ll fly the Poseidons over
1:15:41
Mexico, and then we will go pinpoint take out people we want to take out. And so what I think that the the really
1:15:47
funny thing here is Trump is saying, “Hey, if you don’t do it, I will do it.”
1:15:53
Number one, and then she’s saying, “You won’t step foot on soil.” It’s almost like maybe she chose her words
1:15:58
carefully. You won’t step foot on soil. Yeah, but you will sail up right next to us and launch a a bunch of uh extremely
1:16:06
loud, damaging firecrackers. Yeah. I mean, there’s there’s a Wall Street Journal story I’m going to come to, Rob, if you want to prepare this clip. Trump orders Pentagon to deploy
1:16:13
three warship against warships against Latin American drug cartels. Did he say
1:16:19
three warships? Yes. Three warships. And by the way, this is a Wall Street Journal story. Rob, do you have that
1:16:25
clip on this one? I do. This is Pam Bondi talking about Maduro and why they are sending the ships to Venezuela.
1:16:31
Go for it. Today, the Department of Justice and State Department are announcing a historic $50 million reward
1:16:37
for information leading to the arrest of Nicholas Maduro. Maduro uses foreign
1:16:43
terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Suns to bring
1:16:48
deadly drugs and violence into our country. To date, the DEA has seized 30
1:16:54
tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his associates with nearly seven tons linked
1:16:59
to Maduro himself, which represents a primary source of income for the deadly
1:17:04
cartels based in Venezuela and Mexico. Cocaine is often laced with fentanyl,
1:17:10
resulting in the loss and destruction of countless American lives. The DOJ has
1:17:16
seized over $700 million of Maduro linked assets, including two private
1:17:22
jets, nine vehicles, and more. Yet, Maduro’s reign of terror continues. He
1:17:28
is one of the largest narco traffickers in the world and a threat to our
1:17:33
national security. Therefore, we’ve doubled his reward to $50 million. Under
1:17:39
President Trump’s leadership, Madura will not escape justice and he will be held accountable for his despicable
1:17:47
crimes. If you have any information to bring this criminal to justice, call
1:17:53
12023074228 or go online.
1:17:59
Sounded like one of those lawyer commercials. Yeah. You know, you’ve been injured for the fall. Vinnie, go ahead.
1:18:05
It’s my money and I want it now. Listen, I absolutely love this, okay? Like, if you think about it, think of all the
1:18:10
countries around, you know, Russia, we have our thing with China, all these different countries. Why are we looking
1:18:16
like the real war is literally right beneath us? It’s freaking Mexico. And I absolutely love that he’s doing this.
1:18:22
Just think of just Rob, what is the death count of Americans, guys? We’re not losing Americans in any other
1:18:29
capacity, accidents and stuff like that, okay? But how many fentanyl deaths are happening every single year in the past
1:18:35
couple years in the United States? Rob, is it 100,000? Was it? Yeah, it’s 100,000. Think about that number. We’re losing
1:18:41
that many people every single year. Okay. They’re sex trafficking all all those 300,000 children missing from the
1:18:49
freaking border. You have all the drugs. You have all the guns coming. Where was it, Rob? Around 331,000
1:18:55
deaths in the United States due to fentanyl related overdoses since 2020. Four years. That’s yo that’s war numbers
1:19:03
th those are war number deaths and I’m telling you right now and th the cartel
1:19:08
I I didn’t want to see it Pat somebody showed me a video of how ruthless these guys are. I don’t want to get into major
1:19:14
detail but they had this guy hands on a fence. He’s alive and they’re literally cutting open his chest and taking his
1:19:20
heart out while he’s still alive. These guys are freaking brutal. They freaking kill Americans. So guess what you want
1:19:26
to talk about Gavin’s fight fire with fire? That’s I’m so happy that they’re doing that cuz this is sending a message and if the president doesn’t
1:19:32
want to get involved, guess what? Then you’re the enemy as well. We have to go. You know what that is every year? You know how many US servicemen died in
1:19:39
Vietnam? How much? 58,200 in the whole war. The entire war. And we’ve lost that in four years.
1:19:44
Every year. Every year we have we lose a Vietnam war and more. That is insane. Every year.
1:19:49
So, how do we stop it? That’s how you stop it. Yeah. I mean, uh it’s almost like you don’t want terrorists living right next
1:19:56
door to you. It’s almost like you kind of got to do something about it or they’re going to overtake your entire
1:20:02
country. I’m not talking about uh Gaza right now. I’m talking about America. Uh I’m fully supportive of Trump building
1:20:08
the wall and taking down Maduro and taking down anyone that’s trafficking drugs, these terrorists. We Mexico has
1:20:14
the most Mexico has the most. You caught that, guys. We got it. Bingo. It’s almost like
1:20:20
you want to live peacefully and safely without psychopaths trying to kill you
1:20:26
and all your people. Uh I’m talking about San Diego here, guys, not uh Tijana. Uh Mexico, we talked about this
1:20:33
a couple podcasts ago, has the most dangerous cities in the Western Hemisphere. Uh we about 6 months ago,
1:20:40
maybe a year ago before the Mexican election, do you remember how many politicians were killed just on a
1:20:46
weekend? Like 50 politicians killed. Could you imagine if 50 American politicians were killed on a weekend?
1:20:52
I’m sure there’s people be rooting for it, not me. But listen, it’s a dangerous world out
1:20:57
there. And Trump, he Trump ain’t playing around at this point. Like, he’s going to take over DC. He
1:21:03
should take over Mexico. Put a reward for Maduro. The funny thing is, if you know, have any information about where
1:21:09
Maduro is, we know where he is, guys. He’s in Venezuela. He’s in his house doing his thing.
1:21:15
Uh, I’m You find Maduro. They’re they’re kicking it together. Those two are best of buddies right now. Uh it’s
1:21:23
interesting because seven years ago, eight, no, six years ago, I almost interviewed Maduro where I was
1:21:29
going out there to interview the guy and last minute it was during a season where things got chaotic. And that was
1:21:35
when he was going back and forth with Juan uh Gaido or you know Juan Guyaido
1:21:40
Guyaido. They were going back and forth. That’s what was going on. Here’s what we do, Pat. Here’s what we do. We lure Maduro with a $50 million
1:21:48
podcast fee. We say, “Listen, buddy. We’re gonna pay you $50 million.”
1:21:55
Maduro shows up. CEO and then he shows up. Panda Pam Bondi films her commercial
1:22:01
live on the spot. Perfect right there. We break even, but we break the internet. By the way, I want to go to a
1:22:07
couple of these stories with uh you know, talking about uh uh the fire as well as Ashley St. Clair.
1:22:14
Uh a major update happened with Manek yesterday. If you haven’t updated the app, a bunch of new updates happen. If

1:23:00
very soon it’s going to be even a bigger announcement. So hang tight. Hang tight. After Vault, we’ll be making one announcement that no one’s going to
1:23:05
believe, but it’s going to be exciting. Let’s continue. Let’s continue with this. Ashley Sinclair
Ashley St. Clair faces eviction.
1:23:11
claims she’s broke and facing eviction from uh uh what is that? New York City
1:23:16
apartment. Okay. And by the way, I don’t know if she’s trolling or if she’s not
1:23:21
here. I don’t know. She’s very capable of trolling conservative influencer Ashley Sinclair who claimed to be the
1:23:27
mother of Ilama’s 13th child. This is a realtor.com but but this is a realtor.com story. Uh Romulos announced
1:23:34
on her new podcast that she is broke and facing eviction from her $15,000 New York City apartment stating well after a
1:23:41
year of unplanned career suicide many questionable life cho choices a gap in my LinkedIn profile can make some
1:23:47
podcast. I’m 10 poly market 10,000 off. Yeah. Can you can you show this clip Rob? Can you show this clip? This is her
1:23:53
This is her starting a new podcast. Is that what this is? I believe so. Okay, go for it. Everything out of my mouth, a cautionary
1:24:00
tale. Also, I’m getting evicted and Poly Market offered me $10,000 to do an ad
1:24:06
read. So, with that, the roof over my head has been brought to you by Poly Market. God bless Poly Market, the
1:24:12
world’s largest prediction market, where you can place bets on who’s going to win the midterms, whether Trump will release
1:24:19
the Epstein files, or how many posts Elon Musk is going to send in a day. You can put that right there, Rob. Uh,
1:24:26
and this story says her financial struggles followed 2025 claims that she gave birth to Muschild September. Musk
1:24:31
responded on March 31st, stating, “I have given Ashley $2.5 million in direct payments to date, as well as continued
1:24:38
annual payments of $500,000. The Manhattan apartment leased for one year at $180,000 annually was part of Musk’s
1:24:44
support with a source telling Realtor.com. Elon leased the apartment for Ashley and Ramulos, but she’s been
1:24:50
unable to maintain the lifestyle without his continued financial support. Adam, what do you think about the story here?
1:24:56
Well, uh, under, uh, legal orders, I’m under a gag order, and it’s not so much
1:25:02
a legal gag order, it’s like ball gag order, right? Uh, I don’t know much about this. Here’s what I know about
1:25:07
Ashley, who’s a very good friend of mine. Uh, Ashley is trolling everybody. She’s funny. She’s witty. She’s cool.
1:25:14
She ain’t broke. Uh, so I think we all just fell for it. I don’t know if you guys have different takes on this. I can
1:25:20
conclusively tell you with utmost conviction that Elon Musk is the father.
1:25:26
Um, so look, she Oh, you were you were you were present.
1:25:31
Yeah, I was there. I saw I saw it all go down. I am not the father, if that’s what you’re asking.
1:25:36
Um, the test ruled you out. No, some announcements. Ashley’s a nice girl. She’s a friend.
1:25:41
She also used to work for the Babylon B. So, if you don’t speak sarcasm and if you’re not witty, Tom, this uh this is a
1:25:48
troll. She has money and I’m saying she’ll be okay. Good for her. Yeah, we met her at the MCT event and she was very friendly that
1:25:54
day. We met her at the uh what was it? Uh where was it? Soho House, which by
1:26:00
the way, I don’t know if you heard what happened with Soho House. Tell me what happened. They took it off of they went private. Did you see this, Rob? If you type in
1:26:06
Soho House, 22 $2.2 billion. Ashton Kutcher is involved in this deal, I think. Uh, let’s see what that is. Soho
1:26:13
House is being sold for $2.7 billion, and Ashton Kutcher is one of the buyers. Yeah, they’re going private in a
1:26:18
multi-billion dollar deal that they’re doing. So, good for them. Soho House going a very different direction.
1:26:24
Who knows? I’m sure they got some plans of what they want to do with it at Soho House, but that’s where we
1:26:29
uh did our annual Man party, which took place on the rooftop. All of them. Why’ you want to talk about this story, Pat?
1:26:35
This story actually No, this story was brought up by our friend Rob Gargoyo. Why is that?
1:26:40
Well, I mean, did you have a Because it says to me Adam wanted to talk about it. The
1:26:45
letters right next to it. Oh, really? Vinnie. So, well, Adam Well, since you know, by the way, we met her. She’s she’s

1:27:36
Okay. So, let’s let’s go to the next story is what we’re going to go to. We’re going to we’re going to skip the story here because it upset Adam. We
1:27:42
don’t want to upset. No, I’m the only one actually commented. I commented. I’m not running from it.
1:27:48
Yeah. So, let’s go. And by the way, guys, rap, what why did the story even get added? How did the story get added?
1:27:55
Do you remember? I I I don’t remember to be honest with you. I think Adam morning. Yeah. Okay. So that’s why I’m saying that’s the
1:28:01
request. The story is here. I’m giving the instruction. I follow what the controlling. You told the big man tells
1:28:07
you to do it. Then listen, let’s just change the story to something literally talking later.
1:28:12
I’m going to go to something different under this story. Mom’s girlfriend having trouble with how
1:28:18
transitions to a different story. Christian revival belief in God triples amongst 18 to 24 year old.
Christian revival as belief in God triples in U.K.
1:28:25
Amen. Uh and this is in Britain by the way. So, let’s go to page 14 and see what these guys are doing in the UK because
1:28:32
we had some issues with the UK this past week. Uh, apparently they’re not fans of
1:28:37
Manct in the UK and the Times wrote a story about this. But, uh, let me go to the story here for you guys. Uh, papa,
1:28:45
here we go. Yuggv’s tracker and religious belief showed the number of 18 to 24 year olds in Britain professing
1:28:51
belief in God rose from 16% in August of 2021 to 45%age holy
1:28:59
181% increase with Lancastrian priest Father Damian Feny stating the growing
1:29:05
number of young people interested in faith comes from a need for structure shape and routine in their life and a
1:29:10
desire for stability at a time when otherwise life can seem destabilized. A
1:29:16
56% increase in monthly churches attendance from 3.7 million to 5.8 million between 2018 and 2024 was driven
1:29:22
by younger men from 1 in 25 to 1 in5 when women from 3% to 12%. The 18 to 24
1:29:30
age group is now the second most likely to attend church uh um monthly. Finey
1:29:36
noted the desire for structure and order previously mentioned has led to a renewal of interest in traditional uh uh
1:29:43
uh worship among young adults. The use of beauty and language, color, music, drama in fairly classic ways has grown
1:29:49
in appeal. Belief amongst 25 to 49ers increased 21% in 2021 to 33%. So let’s
1:29:55
see who wanted to talk about this story. Adam, I’m coming to you. What thought What do you have thoughts on this story?
1:30:00
Well, as the only uh true Christian on the panel here, the original OG Jew in the house, um I think it’s great to see
1:30:07
Christianity making a comeback, especially in the UK. I think if we learned anything like in America right
1:30:12
now, you see that it’s cool now to be conservative. It’s cool, it’s
1:30:18
counterculture to be like, “Yeah, uh, I know the difference between a man and a woman.” So, I think it’s what’s
1:30:23
happening in the UK is they’ve gone so woke, they’ve gone so leftist, they’ve gone so secular that young people, Gen
1:30:30
Z, are the ones that are leading this charge, are basically saying, “No, no, no, no, no. All this woke government
1:30:35
infused nonsense. I’m done with this.” And returning back to churches. And I think that’s a great thing. I think
1:30:41
there’s another element to this because there’s religion and there’s culture. I think religion is one component. I think what’s happening in the UK is they’re
1:30:47
seeing their culture change. What’s the number one baby name in the UK?
1:30:52
Muhammad. It’s not James. It’s not Henry, it’s Muhammad. And I think there’s a lot of
1:30:57
Brits who are like, “All right, we’re tolerant. We’re nice. We’ll do we we’ll
1:31:03
be appeasing to you.” And there’s a lot of people are starting to say, “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. not on my watch.
1:31:10
And I see simmerings. I see in the on the internet, not that the internet is the tell all be all, especially Twitter,
1:31:16
but I see this urge, this urge for a holy war. And that’s where it’s going to
1:31:21
happen first, right in the UK. And God bless. And and and I’m Pat and I know Tom’s going to Tom’s going to go
1:31:27
right after me, but I mean, I am so what great news. I know we always talk about this and politics and Newsome and the
1:31:34
end of the world. Thank God that people are going to God and Christianity. I am. That makes me so happy because listen,
1:31:40
it’s undeniable. Okay, go do the research. The book that you told me to read, A Case for Christ by Lee Stroble,
1:31:45
guys, the guy was an atheist and was like, I’m going to prove that Jesus wasn’t here and he wasn’t who he says
1:31:51
was he who he says he was. Guess what? He made a case for Jesus Christ. He was here. Whether you believe what he was,
1:31:57
if he was a magician or whatever, whatever you want to believe, he was here. He’s a savior. I think it’s I
1:32:02
think it’s awesome that it’s happening. And it’s not just happening there. It’s happening here in the United States. Okay? And and Louis CK had a really
1:32:08
funny joke once. Um he said, well all the time I think he’s one of the best ever. He said um you know what religion
1:32:13
one Christianity? He goes what year is it? 2020. It was 2022. Goes like right now
1:32:20
it’s 2025 right since when we all keep the date everybody Muslim Buddhist of
1:32:26
when Jesus Christ died. Okay. And I think it just proves how real there’s a battle right now bro with evil. Was it
1:32:33
Ephesians 6:12? For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but uh principalities
1:32:38
against powers and rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Guys, the the table is
1:32:45
set. Okay? And which side are you where you going? And I think that the darker it gets, the brighter truth stands out.
1:32:51
And I’m telling you guys, guys, from personal experience, Assyrians were, you know, Assyrians and Armenians like to
1:32:56
have a battle of who were the first Christians. There is something going on in the world. And I’m telling you, the better my life has gotten, the more
1:33:03
truth, I’m telling you, Adam, it’s going to God and going to Jesus Christ. Because I’m telling you right now,
1:33:08
especially with all the stuff that we talk about, Epstein and this and that, the only accountability factor is going to be God. Period. That makes me sleep
1:33:15
well at night because I go, if it doesn’t happen here, he’s going to hold everybody accountable. Are you saying that Assyrians and Armenians were battle
1:33:22
for who the first Christian? I think Armenians actually Is this what is this your jihad, Pat? your struggle, your internal struggle
1:33:29
between Assyrian and Armenian. Who was the first Christian? It might have been I think it might know for a fact. I know for a fact one of my
1:33:36
bloodlines was so for me I’m good. Armenian and But let me let me go to this. Let me let me give some thoughts
1:33:41
on this and then we can get to the next story. Uh you know, we’ll sit here and we’ll banter and we’ll say all our stuff and
1:33:47
some of it is fun and some of it is appropriate and some of it is inappropriate. Sometimes we get emotional and I can’t believe this and I
1:33:53
can’t believe that. And sometime we drop the fbomb too many times and someone’s got to call you out and say, “Hey, get your act together and don’t do this. I
1:33:59
don’t like the kids are listening.” And by the way, sometimes we we we say things to people and we take personal
1:34:04
shots, which I don’t like because I want to talk to a lot of these guys. Like as much as I don’t agree with Newsome on
1:34:09
politics, I want to sit down and have a conversation with them. I have nothing personal against the guy. He does what he does. He’s got a family. He’s got
1:34:15
kids. He wants to be a good father to his kids. There’s nobody that’s not trying to do their best in their lives
1:34:20
for the most part. the the the benefit of God entering my life and me becoming
1:34:28
a Christian, the the the biggest part of it was that you had to learn forgiveness
1:34:36
and you had to learn that as much as you try to judge everybody else, hey
1:34:41
brother, you have a lot of stuff and a lot of things you did wrong that you screwed up with that we have to get on
1:34:47
our knees. The other day I’m with the boys, Tico and Dylan, and I said, “Guys, whatever you do, pray a little bit
1:34:53
longer tonight.” And I get on my knees and they’re sitting there with me. They’re something happened, Daddy. Does something I just just pray a little
1:34:59
longer today. Just pray a little longer today. Talk to God. And I sat down and
1:35:05
I’m having a conversations. I wouldn’t be who I am today without God in my
1:35:10
life. I’ve said this so many times and I’m so comfortable saying it. The fact that I’m a nobody without him, just a
1:35:16
regular guy. I’m sitting there the other day at the cigar lounge with one of our founding members
1:35:21
who’s saying stuff to me about, well, let me tell you what about God this and what about God that and what about God
1:35:26
this. I said, listen, bro, when I think about God, I don’t think about the judge pastor that you’re going to hell. God, I
1:35:34
look at it in a complete different way. You know, I know I desperately need God. He changed my life. My life doesn’t make
1:35:42
sense. I can’t believe I got lucky enough to get a green card to come to America legally. I can’t believe I met a
1:35:50
Jennifer Hudman that’s now my wife that gave me four kids who are my four five
1:35:57
favorite human beings in the world when I’m around them. I cannot believe
1:36:02
somehow I got lucky enough to get a job at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter after the army not having a four-year or a
1:36:09
two-year degree and a Dave Kirby who I keep talking about him. I haven’t seen this guy since 2002. Dave Kirby gave
1:36:16
this guy a regular guy a a job at Morgan Stanley Dean who didn’t have a four-year or a two-year degree when I was going up
1:36:23
against another girl named Som Rashidi who was brilliant. got a 1560 on her SATs, ran a nightclub in Berkeley, did a
1:36:30
4-year program in three and a half years, sharp as hell. It was so great sitting next to Som because she was such
1:36:35
a you knew she was going to do something big in her life. You just knew it. And we sat there at the same cubicle and
1:36:42
going back and forth and somehow I got a 78% of my series 7 the first time I took it and I stayed in the financial
1:36:47
industry then went went into insurance industry and then this happened then a life now podcast. You guys listen to us.
1:36:53
What? Vault conference. Nearly 10,000 people to come with their husband, wife, and kids. And 21-year-old guy goes and
1:37:00
watches Tony Robbins at, you know, what do you call it? At uh uh uh San Diego Convention Center and Long Beach
1:37:06
Convention Center. And now he’s doing two hours. We’re going to have some massive announcements we’re making at the vault. This guy, this regular guy,
1:37:12
you telling me I deserve this? I don’t know about that. So somehow someway that favor changed this guy’s life. He made
1:37:20
me, as much as this doesn’t make sense to you, to the people who know me, my dad would know this. He made me softer.
1:37:27
My heart deep down inside, there is rage in here. There is so much rage in this.
1:37:35
And he just said, “Hey, man. These things are not on you. I got this. You go do all the other stuff.” It’s like,
1:37:42
“All right, I got it.” So, I’m so glad younger folks 18 to 24 are getting
1:37:49
exposed to this and they’re finding God. They’re finding church. I’m so happy that this has taken place. Uh and
1:37:55
they’re going through it and and it’s a beautiful thing. It’s it’s a life who said this? Somebody said this um I think
1:38:03
it was Johnny Cash, being a Christian is one of the hardest things to do or something like that. Rob, can you pull up what Johnny Cash said about being a
1:38:08
Christian? Johnny Cash, Christian. Uh Johnny Cass Christian he said something quotes if you can just type in he said
1:38:16
something about being a Christian being a Christian isn’t for sissies that’s what he said it takes a real man to live for God a
1:38:21
lot more than to live for the devil it is hard of course it is hard guys to do this so anyways
1:38:29
life-changing happy for those guys in UK and I’m happy for all the other guys in America that that are doing the same
1:38:34
thing as well let’s go to the next story here um next story I want to get into is
1:38:40
I’m debating waiting between a couple of these things to get into or Okay, let’s go into this one. I like what Marcus Lamona said on this one here. Um,
1:38:48
Polish text is saying, “Vinnie has become a preacher.” Amen. You’re becoming a preacher. Awesome.
1:38:53
Okay, so major retailer says no to California pulls zero punches outlining
Bed, Bath & Beyond abandons California over Newsom’s policies.
1:38:59
economic reality. All right, let’s see what this means. Uh,
1:39:05
Newsome’s okay. So, first of all, Newsome uh uh uh Bed Bath and Beyond
1:39:10
comes out and says they’re not going to be expanding in the state of California. Rob, I think this is the post video,
1:39:16
right? This is No, this is the pre this is play the pre. Fantastic. Thank you for doing that. Go ahead. Watch this, folks.
1:39:22
Made the decision to not open in the state of California. And while it was a big place for business in the past for
1:39:27
Bed Bath and Beyond, it’s just too cost prohibitive. At some point, some business needs to take a stand and
1:39:33
remind the state of California that while they keep reminding us that they’re the fourth largest economy in the world, that’s going to dissipate
1:39:40
over time. Thank you. And by the way, you know what Newsome says? I thought Bed Bath Bed Bath and Beyond filed bankruptcy. Oh,
1:39:46
there’s another one by him, but let me read this as well. After their bankruptcy and closure of every store, like most Americans, we thought Bed Bath
1:39:52
and Beyond no longer existed. We wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again as they try to open a
1:39:57
second store. Now, he was a little bit more direct than that. So, Marcus Lamonus, when you think about him, he
1:40:04
had a show, what was it called? The prophet or something. I think it was called The Prophet. The He’s actually very good. He’s a very good at what he
1:40:09
does. Very fair. You know, we had an exchange once on X and then I don’t know what
1:40:14
happened afterwards, but he actually has a lot of good things to say here. Rob, if you want to play this clip on um him
1:40:21
reacting to what Newsome said to him, go for it. Well, I think the thing that was really surprising to me is that I tried
1:40:27
to articulate in a non-aggressive way exactly why our company wasn’t going to reinvest capital in California. And what
1:40:34
I found out this afternoon is that Governor Nuome has enough time to respond to a tweet as opposed to a
1:40:39
private DM or having somebody reach out to remind everybody in America that in 2023 before we bought the intellectual
1:40:46
property that the company went out of business. We all know that Bed Bath went out of business a few years ago. Now
1:40:51
we’re trying to make a comeback and I would think that a governor would want to attract investment, attract uh
1:40:57
capital into the state. In fact, he did the opposite. He rejected it. It’s a very simple model for me as a as a
1:41:04
capitalist myself. I want to do business in all 50 states and I want to do business with all people of all
1:41:09
political parties. That’s part of being a capitalist. But what I don’t want to do is put my shareholders, my employees,
1:41:15
and myself in a situation where we’re regulated to a zero. And we don’t want to spend a hundred million dollars
1:41:21
coming into California and then find out that the state’s gonna take it all and waste it all.
1:41:27
Sounds reasonable. Sounds fair. Sounds like common sense. Tom, your thoughts?
1:41:32
Well, it is common sense and it is reasonable. And he he was being fair about it. He was saying, you know, words
1:41:39
talk, number scream. The regulatory environment and these taxes and this and this and this is making it tough for us
1:41:46
to make a comeback. And I don’t I don’t think Gavin Newsome was 100% briefed on this. I I I because if he was fully
1:41:54
briefed after their bankruptcy and closure of every store, we thought they no longer existed. You know, I don’t
1:42:00
know if he understands that this is a comeback. I don’t know if he understands that this is jobs to come back because
1:42:07
if I was a governor, you know, why would I say something like that unless maybe I
1:42:13
just take my economy for granted or I really don’t care or I’ve just got other
1:42:19
other motives and other things u that I’m planning. I hope Marcus and them who
1:42:24
are taking the intellectual property and what he means by that he’s taking their brand and he’s trying to make a comeback
1:42:30
and to do so in a way that would make it a profitable enterprise and he’s being
1:42:35
very reasonable about it and what h and that the comment by the governor I just I just don’t think that’s a a good
1:42:41
comment. Maybe maybe it’s coming from you know that the group of social media people that don’t look like they are
1:42:48
operators and run businesses. I’m not going to pick on what they look like. I’m just saying, are they operators? Do
1:42:53
they run businesses? Oh, this guy said something about California. We have to punch back. It that’s what it kind of
1:42:58
feels like. And so Gavin Newsome dutifully goes out and and punches back when he should be lending a hand up. And
1:43:05
you know who lends hands up? Guys like Greg Abbott, guys like Ron DeSantis. They’re like, “Really? You want to make
1:43:10
a comeback and get jobs here? How can we work together on this? How can I get Jimmy Pronus, the CFO, to talk to you
1:43:16
and help you here in the state of Florida? How do I get economic development commission to maybe give you a hand? And you where are you going to
1:43:22
put your warehouses? Where are you going to put jobs? You know, have you looked at some of our areas that um have got plenty of people and and where you could
1:43:29
put warehouses in place to help you out? What do we want to do together? Instead, this is oh man, I thought you died. That
1:43:36
just to me seems so so kind of tinier and deaf. And it’s those time it’s like
1:43:42
we just showed like that’s not even Gavin Newsome. It’s that team of people having that freaking attitude and like
1:43:47
the thing that you’re number one you’re going to a good place. Please keep going what you’re saying.
1:43:52
So, so what I’m saying is that’s not you and you nailed it when you’re like he’s like when you guys are both like he’s wishywashy chameleon now you hire this
1:44:00
PR team whatever the hell they’re called to have this attitude of like this ant you’re going against the system. You’re
1:44:05
not going against Trump. This is a guy that has a freaking company bro that Bed Bath and Beyond. I would go there almost
1:44:11
every other week for buying stuff for my freaking apartment in LA. And you’re number one in unemployment. Now you’re
1:44:16
losing another freaking company. People are leaving your state. Companies now are lo are leaving your state. And it’s
1:44:22
like what what are you doing? Can can anybody name one thing that’s honestly and I’m being dead serious. What’s one
1:44:29
positive thing that the governor is doing to California? Anybody? Buler. Anybody? Nothing is going right.
1:44:37
Nothing is going right. And you mean to tell me this guy is the front runner for the president of the Democratic party.
1:44:44
Bes guys when I’m and I’m not being that guy. I don’t think he’s here yet. But no Tom. Okay. If you guys had to pick
1:44:50
right now right now who the Democratic party besides you saying JB Pritsker it’s JB and and who?
1:44:55
Let me tell you Gavin Newsome’s going to be on stage with all the rest starting primaries but JB Pritzkar is the one that’s got the support of the machine
1:45:01
and so you always got to wait. Remember you have all this buzz all these things. Mike Huckabe all of a sudden was kned that he was going to be the candidate
1:45:08
and then one state later, one election later, it’s like, “Oh, well, maybe in your zone you are. I want to see I want
1:45:15
to see Gavin Newsome in a primary that is somewhere east of Reno.” Yeah.
1:45:20
I don’t think he’s going to play very well. But here’s here’s how this works. Let me let me tell you how this works. You know, um
1:45:27
people people see a guy and they try to be like him. There’s only one guy that
1:45:33
was able to be like Mike. His name was Kobe Bryant. He’s no longer with us, okay? He he was fantastic to watch.
1:45:39
Everybody else try to be like Mike. There was only one guy that was like Mike. Okay. Um, you know, when you think
1:45:45
about Rodman, there was only one Rodman. A lot of people try to be a Rodman, but there’s literally only one Rodman.
1:45:51
Rodman would average two points a game and 19 rebounds a game. He really didn’t like to score. It’s only one Rodman. He
1:45:56
was weird. Bless you. Just a different type of guy, right? You know, there’s only one Trump. There’s going to be a
1:46:02
lot of people that are going to try to be Trump’s. Trump, trust me, there’s a lot of guys that are trying to be that guy. But, you know, the difference is
1:46:08
he’s actually trying to broker deals. And he understands black people. He
1:46:13
understands business owners. He understands what people who are pro-Israel and what people are
1:46:20
anti-Israel. He understands both of their arguments and say, “I don’t know why. I get it. Hey, he’s starting to be
1:46:26
a little bit too much. Why are they doing this?” He understand. But he tries to understand both sides and then he
1:46:32
pushes a his agenda. I’m not telling you he’s going to support you, but he at least sits there and tries to
1:46:37
understand. You talk to small business owners like you’re above business owners, Gavin.
1:46:44
You’re not above business owners. You you you talk to business owners as
1:46:49
if they need you. They don’t need you. You need voters.
1:46:55
Voters don’t need you. See, see for us, we run a business. Last night, uh, we
1:47:01
had seven people that flew in in a private jet. They flew in here, business, walked through, they did their
1:47:07
meeting, they left, and then last night on the way home, I stopped by the cigar lounge and I see them outside. They’re doing a video, and I just pull up and
1:47:14
like, oh shoot, the guy, wait, what? We’re not, oh my god. And I’m talking to them, right? I’m just having a
1:47:19
conversation with them. And he says, you know what? We’ve been to a lot of businesses. Everybody here at Value
1:47:25
Tamment treats us royally. everybody. I said, “You know what’s funny when you say that?” So, do you know why? I said,
1:47:30
“Because since I was 24, 25 years old, I demanded good treatment of me. I wanted it, but I was a nobody.” And so, to get
1:47:38
that kind of treatment, guess what you got to do? You have to work your ass off to be somebody to get that kind of treatment, you got to pay for it, cuz
1:47:44
high quality service costs money. You want to go to Ritz, high quality service. You want to go to Motel 6, 49
1:47:51
bucks a night. Pick and choose. You ain’t getting no service at Motel 6. You want high service, go to a three
1:47:56
Michelin star restaurant. You should demand high service. Go to Leo. Go to some of these big restaurants. You go to
1:48:03
McDonald’s expecting a five-star service. You’re a fool. Now, In-N-Out figured out a way how to do it.
1:48:08
Chick-fil-A figured out how to do it. They did very well. Yesterday, one of our uh clients who runs a Chick-fil-A,
1:48:13
he’s an owner of Chick-fil-A, been with the organization 15 years, but he’s been an owner for about a year and a half. One Chick-fil-A restaurant of his does
1:48:19
$60 million a year. 16. One six. One restaurant does $60 million a year. Right. Damn.
1:48:25
But it’s what treatment. Nuome doesn’t treat business owners. Right. If I ever
1:48:32
had the itch of like there’s a part of me is like just drop the whole thing and go for run for governor in California.
1:48:38
Zero chance I’m doing it. So don’t connect me. I’d save your money. Zero chance I’m doing it. But if I ever did and I wanted to go
1:48:45
back just the freaking itch that I got to go and say here’s what we’re going to be doing, dude. We would bring so many
1:48:51
businesses back with a handful of policies. We would bring so many businesses back with a handful of policies. But unfortunately, this guy’s
1:48:58
got no appreciation for small business owners. Adam, I fully agree with you. I mean, this is why America is so sick of politicians.
1:49:05
This is why everyone you talk to is like, I just want a business owner. I want a businessman in the Oval Office. I
1:49:11
want a someone who actually has done something before to lead this country or to lead my state or to lead my community
1:49:17
here, not just some politician. Because in business, we all know that if your product sucks, you go out of business.
1:49:24
If your policies suck, like Gavin Newsome, you’ll get reelected. No problem. The difference is in business,
1:49:30
and I learned this being around value tamement and BDC every single day, is a business owner will put their own money
1:49:36
on the line, and if it doesn’t work, they’re out of business. A politician will take your money and tax your money.
1:49:42
No problem. It’s not their money. We have $37 trillion
1:49:47
in debt and we’re talking about nonsense every day. I actually totally respect Marjorie Taylor Green. Yes, MTG. She
1:49:54
went on Megan Kelly the other day and I totally understood what she was coming from because she’s like, from a business perspective, stop spending all this
1:50:00
money on other things that don’t focus on the American people. I was like, I agree. I totally agree. In business, it
1:50:07
comes down to results. In politics, it just comes down to broken promises. And that what’s going on here. By the way,
1:50:13
Marcus Lamon, a little fun fact, he’s gonna be a billionaire if he’s not a billionaire already. I had the opportunity to speak with him on stage a
1:50:19
couple years ago. My friend Melissa was putting on an event here in Miami, Epic Talks. He was the keynote speaker and I
1:50:25
spoke right before him and I I gave a speech about uh the key to success is what I call the three Rs. Relationships,
1:50:32
reputation, and revenue. Relationships matter. Obviously, whether it’s relationships, friendships,
1:50:37
partnerships, reputation, your reputation precedes you. before you walk in the door. Your reputation is what it
1:50:43
is. And at the end of the day, revenue, if you’re not making money, what’s the point of doing this? He gets up there, he goes, “Yeah, nice speech. That’s
1:50:49
great.” And gives an hour speech about the importance of relationships. If
1:50:54
you’ve ever watched his show, The Prophet, Marco Simon, shout out to you. He’s getting his hands dirty. He’s in
1:51:00
there. He’s talking about people. He’s giving people hugs. Relationships, relationships, relationships. This guy
1:51:06
would be a great politician. He’s like the uh the anti-Gavin Newsome because
1:51:12
he’s actually done it before. So, respect to him. All right, let’s go to uh let’s do one or two stories here and uh wrap up uh in
1:51:19
8 minutes. I’m trying to see which one do we want. You know what story I want to show? Rob, I don’t know if we can show this video or not. What happened
Kentucky judge implicated in sex for sentencing scandal.
1:51:26
with Kentucky Judge, the guy that got gunned down? We probably can show that clip. I think they I think they stop at PBD.
1:51:32
Every single time something happens, they pause it. So, you’re not going to see anything graphic. You don’t see they
1:51:38
don’t show anything graphic. Well, guys, I’m going to show you this and I just want to I I really want to
1:51:43
show this because of what people do when they use their power in this way. Um, so, but I’m giving you in a way to
1:51:51
brace for impact. Kids, give you five seconds. Don’t don’t don’t move the clip yet. Give you five seconds. Kids don’t
1:51:58
need to watch this clip here. Adults only. And I’m giving it a warning in advance. Here’s a judge in Kentucky.
1:52:04
Okay. Who was gunned down by sheriff. What?
1:52:09
By a sheriff. Okay. Allegedly ran sex rings in his
1:52:15
chambers. What? Yep. True story. A judge. So Rob, can you do
1:52:21
me a favor? Can you separate the two clips? Right. Find the lady above first. Then we’ll show what the jud what the
1:52:28
sheriff did to him. Okay. Oh, you know. Yeah. Yeah. If you can do that because I want to show exactly what she said for
1:52:34
the clip is out there. Ty Adams alleged on NewsNation uh Banfield that district
1:52:40
judge Kevin Mullins shot by Sheriff Sean Mickey Stein in his Lecher County
1:52:46
chambers on September 824 ran a sex for favor scheme stating we would do sex
1:52:51
parties and perform shows and have sex with them for money. Things like that. What? Watch this interview and just see
1:52:58
what this judge was doing. Go ahead, Rob. I mean, you’re saying it like it’s so normal, but I just want to make sure. So, so the judge would have sex with
1:53:05
inmates from the jail. Yes. And you saw it? Yes. I was part of it. I was one of
1:53:10
them. And not just from being in jail, like coming in off the street and seeing them.
1:53:16
Yeah. How did they keep it a secret? It wasn’t a secret.
1:53:23
Wasn’t a secret. Why did you feel like you had to have sex with the judge? cuz he’s the one
1:53:30
with the power. He holds my entire life in his hands. He’s the one that makes the decisions over whether I get to keep
1:53:35
my children or not. He’s the one that makes the decisions on whether I go to jail. Did anything ever happen to you in the
1:53:41
jail? Yeah, I’ll say. I mean, cuz you talk about having sex with the judge, but that was mostly when you were out, right? Trying to avoid
1:53:46
Yeah. Did the judge ever say you have to do this or if you do this
1:53:52
you come you come see me three times and we’ll take care of this if it’s a ticket or something you know or you get some
1:53:57
minor charge some petty charge come visit me a few times we’ll we’ll take care of it
1:54:03
you would say that absolutely yeah and how many women do you think were
1:54:09
also doing this total over the years hundreds hundreds hundreds hundreds Yeah,
1:54:17
hundreds. And not just for the women who had charges. Like if your man or somebody your child is in there, then you could
1:54:24
go see him for that, too. Okay, so you saw that. Okay, then this
1:54:31
is what happens. Now you can go back to the clip on the bottom and show what happens. Watch this, folks. So that’s
1:54:36
the sheriff. Yeah, just let the judge is sitting there to the left. Once again, kids, they’re not watching this. Go ahead,
1:54:42
Rob. It’s so normal, but I just want to make sure. So, so the judge would have sex with inmates from the jail.
1:54:48
So, boom, he shoots him once. You’re not going to see it. He’s down. That was one of them. And then the sheriff,
1:54:54
not just from being in jail, like coming in off the street and seeing him. You can’t see it. Boom. They pause. Crap, man.
1:54:59
How did he about to leave? A secret while he’s about to leave.
1:55:05
And again, he wants to go back. He makes sure he kills him. Why did you feel like he right there? So,
1:55:10
yeah, that’s a very strange story. Vinnie, your thoughts on the story here? It it and think about this. I mean, taking into your own hands. I mean, in
1:55:18
that moment, the heat of passion, I mean, unless it was somebody that was directly involved. Do we know why the sheriff did that?
1:55:24
Tom, you wanted to talk about the story. Do we know why the sheriff did that? It appears that the sheriff had like a
1:55:30
nervous breakdown and took the law into his own hands and just decide this is
1:55:36
what I’m going to do. Because that was, if you take a look at that, he’s in there, he’s standing there, he looks uh
1:55:42
like calm, like rational, and then he just executes him. Do you see how how steady he was? That was just like a
1:55:48
straight execution. And the story coming out leads you to believe it’s like um
1:55:55
you know there’s a there’s a um a trial that happened in Europe a long time ago
1:56:00
where a woman walked in and executed the um uh uh the guy that was on trial who
1:56:07
was on the stand and she just walked in, pulled it out, leveled up and then fired
1:56:13
three shots, killed him. You have the story of the man whose son had been
1:56:18
abused and he knew that the um perpetrator was going to be go through the airport with the uh police escort
1:56:26
and he acted like he was on a pay phone at the airport and as the guy walked by he
1:56:33
turned boom executed him with and then dropped the gun and raised his hands and
1:56:38
you heard the cops saying no Gary no not this way not this way because they knew
1:56:43
it was the father. When I think of those and I see this, it just appears that
1:56:48
this sheriff apparently they said he had like a nervous breakdown, but he also said, “I’m sick of this and I’m taking
1:56:56
care of it.” And that’s what appears that that has happened here and this is
1:57:01
not the way to do it. This is not the way to to get justice. But if if that
1:57:07
woman is right, and you’re talking hundreds of people, then this is like walking tall where the mob ran the uh
1:57:14
the county until right until Sheriff Buford Pusser
1:57:21
took thing, but he did it the right way. Remember, he did it the right way to get justice and they and the mob ultimately.
1:57:27
Yeah. They call this sextorion uh uh you know, and and there’s multiple cases. Another one is uh uh another individual,
1:57:33
Sabrina Atkins, referenced videotape shown sexual activities in the judge’s chamber involving Mullins. These
1:57:38
recordings emerged from a uh from an unrelated 2022 investigation into a deputy sheriff found guilty of sex
1:57:45
crime. So when they ask what the defense is, the the motive was unclear motives. Authorities have not found a clear
1:57:51
motive tied to the alleged sex scandal and possibility remains under investigation. Uh defense is emotional
1:57:57
disturbance and potential insanity. Clear. Sty Stein’s defense defense has
1:58:02
indicated the shooting was not premeditated premeditated framing it as
1:58:07
crime committed in the heat of passion due to extreme emotional disturbance. They have even signaled intent to use an
1:58:13
insanity defense in some filings. So as of August 2025, as of right now, Stein,
1:58:19
the shooter, the sheriff is still in jail without bond. Defense lawyers have requested a $50,000 cash or property
1:58:24
bond, arguing he poses no flight risk where prosecutors oppose citing Kentucky
1:58:30
law that bars uh bail for capital offense charge. Adam?
1:58:35
Yeah. Well, there’s two crazy stories happening right here. Uh number one, uh
1:58:41
we’re getting a little too comfortable with this vigilante justice thing that’s going on here. Obviously, the biggest story that we know about that was the
1:58:47
whole Luigi Manion thing just gunning down the CEO uh of United Healthcare
1:58:54
just cuz he felt some type of way. Uh completely unacceptable. Now we have
1:58:59
this sheriff in Kentucky, what not premeditated? Just showed up,
1:59:05
got in an argument and just boom, just V for vendetta style executes this guy.
1:59:11
Absolutely disgusting. uncalled for. This should not happen in America. We’re not living in the Wild West. This ain’t
1:59:18
Tombstone. This ain’t Wyatt Herb. Relax with all that. At the same time, if the
1:59:24
uh inmates are running the asylum, so to speak, and the judge is running a wh house, it would seem in the judge’s
1:59:30
chambers, how has not this not been dealt with prior to whatever happened here? Because if the sheriff knows about
1:59:38
it, I would assume that people doing interviews about this allegedly. How did this not make it into the news into the
1:59:46
uh zeitgeist of the popular culture in Kentucky? Something’s very weird about this story. I don’t even know if we have
1:59:51
all the facts. I’m just putting allegedly all over this story right here, but it’s disgusting. You have
1:59:57
right now on the very surface a judge murdered in his chambers by a vigilante
2:00:03
sheriff. Yeah, it’s so freaking weird, isn’t it? How does a guy in West Palm Beach, Florida, you know, uh get get off on a
2:00:09
crime and continue for 13 more years? God, how weird would that be? Tom, I love that you went there because
2:00:14
my the a fantastic point and Adam, I 1,000% do not agree like him taking it
2:00:20
in his own hands. No, I don’t like that’s it wasn’t like somebody justice system, not vigilance. Yeah. Yeah. We have a Well, I sometimes
2:00:26
call the injustice system, but Tom, at the same point, I don’t agree with it. But, but Adam, when you’re doing evil stuff, and we just talked about God, we
2:00:33
just went on Pat did a good talk about God just freaking five minutes ago. When you get away from God and you’re taking advantage of women, yet when you’re in
2:00:39
that dark world, that’s the type of stuff that happens cuz that’s evil coming right back at you. I don’t agree
2:00:45
with it, but that’s the world that you’re playing in. Okay? And this, mind you, this is abuse of power from a saying it’s karma.
2:00:52
I don’t believe in karma. I believe in Adam. If like if you hang out with pimps, you know what I mean? Like people see you, what are they going to assume
2:00:58
that you are? That you’re a pimp. When you hang when you’re doing this type of stuff, bro, that energy is coming around you. And and and my point being that
2:01:04
this guy’s a low-level judge, okay? And he got careless. He’s drunk with his power. He’s having sex with all these
2:01:10
girls. And I’m going to give you this. I’ll keep you out of jail. I let you see your kids. This is one instance. Look at
2:01:15
our how many judges are in the country. Just this past eight years, what have we seen that these corrupt judges that go
2:01:22
after a freaking ex-president, they don’t give a damn. And Tom made a great point. Look at the justice system with
2:01:28
what happened with Epstein and and the and and getting let him get off and giving him a sentence where he’s in a
2:01:34
jail that the doors open. He could leave and go in. Imagine that level. Imagine when we talk about this is a careless
2:01:40
judge. What happens when it’s highlevel ranking ex-presidents, the the Clintons, the this, the that that bro, they’re
2:01:46
protected beyond belief. And if and if something leaks and the main guy behind it gets a little bit too loud or gets
2:01:52
arrested, he gets suicided in jail. So, it’s corruption at the highest level. This guy was a low level guy. It’s it’s
2:01:59
messed up, but it happens. Listen, it’s it’s you there’s certain people, and this is what I said. My my
2:02:05
thing with Epstein is if that happened to someone’s daughter. It takes me back
2:02:11
to Gerard Butler’s one movie that was Payback that he seek revenge. I don’t remember the movie’s name. It could have
2:02:16
been Payback. There was another movie that Mel Gibson did that I think was called uh uh Ransom, right? With his kid starts
2:02:23
peeing, right? that one scene with that Christian act. Yeah. So, so when you see this kind of stuff that happens,
2:02:29
you know, some people are going to take it to certain levels if you do something to their daughters or their kids. Some people are capable of doing stuff like
2:02:35
that. No. Is does it make it right or wrong? No. But some people are capable. There was a UFC fighter a couple years ago
2:02:41
that somebody was uh doing something to one of his kids. You know who I’m talking about? His nephew or his niece. To his nephew and he just came back and
2:02:47
it went to jail. This the Latino the Mexican fighter Ortiz Kane or something like that.
2:02:52
Kane. Kane. K. Lopez Velasquez. Kasquez every Mexican name. Yeah. K Velasquez is the one that went
2:03:00
to uh extreme measures to go fight and defend his family. Did he I think he shot at the guy,
2:03:05
right, Pat? It was February 27. The man who Velasquez already intended shoot had
2:03:10
been arrested prior to shooting the allegedly committing child sexual abuse on Velasquez. A’s son at a daycare owned by you know family was later released
2:03:18
from custody on a personal recognizable bond. So, this is the part. Every once in a while in life, Mike Tyson said
2:03:23
something, okay? You can you can act as hard as you want until you get punched in the face. Every once in a while, you
2:03:30
meet someone that handles vengeance in a different way. Okay? They say, “Leave it
2:03:36
up to God.” Some people, you know, uh uh uh there was everyone has a plan until they get
2:03:42
punched in the There was a story of a teacher who’s an atheist gets up and says, “Prove to me there’s a God. If there’s a God right
2:03:47
now, prove to me. Prove to me there’s a God. Show me a sign. Lightning something. A guy gets up. A marine gets
2:03:54
up and goes punches a guy in the face. He says, “What are you doing?” He says, “Well, God told me to.” You said, “Show you a sign. I’m showing you a sign
2:03:59
there’s a guy. Got punch in the face right now.” Boom. That’s so So yeah, but I mean obviously we’re not saying guys, we’re not saying go
2:04:05
teach punch teacher in the face. All we’re saying is every once in a while in life, you meet the types of people that are true
2:04:12
believers that are willing to go to measures others are not. Rob, what is this that just came in right now? Uh this came out about an hour ago.
Trump to hold emergency press briefing, addresses Bolton raid.
2:04:17
Trump. Uh, President Trump has had the press loaded into vans at the White House for an unexpected movement. Um,
2:04:23
and then there’s reports coming out that there is an emergency statement coming from the Oval Office today at noon.
2:04:29
Ah, now he’s not deporting the press. They’re not being they’re just going to another location
2:04:35
where the president. So, we’re going to see the president at noon today for an announcement. Uh the
2:04:40
basis of that, we don’t have full information yet, but we also just got a notice from the pool uh that they’ve been loaded into the vans for a movement
2:04:47
this morning that was not on the schedule. No clear details yet on where the president is going, but it sounds like they might be on the move here very
2:04:54
soon. I love off the records. Okay. Well, stand by and let let us know what you hear. Thanks.
2:04:59
Okay. So, Rob, we have no clue what it is. No. And then Trump did speak this morning about the John Bolton raid as well. Uh let’s see what he said real quick.
2:05:05
Let’s see what he said here. What he saying? Um I when I hired him,
2:05:11
he served a good purpose because as you know one of the people that forced push to do the ridiculous bombings in the
2:05:17
Middle East he he wants to always kill people and uh he’s very bad at what he
2:05:23
does. But he worked out great for me because every time he doesn’t talk. He’s like a very quiet person except on
2:05:30
television. If he can say something bad about Trump will always do that. But but he really doesn’t talk. He’s quiet. and
2:05:36
I’d walk into a room with him with a foreign country and the foreign country would give me everything because they said, “Oh no, they’re going to get blown
2:05:41
up because John Bolton’s there. He’s a uh not a smart guy, but he could be a
2:05:48
very unpatriotic guy. I mean, we’re going to find out. I know nothing about it. I just saw it this morning. They did a raid.”
2:05:54
Do you expect uh the DOJ to brief you on this? Yeah, they’ll be they’ll brief me probably today sometime.
2:05:59
And the foreign minister? I don’t want I tell Pam and I tell the group. I don’t want to know about Just You have to do what you have to do. I
2:06:04
don’t want to know about it. It’s not necessary. I could know about it. I could be the one starting it. I’m actually the chief law enforcement
2:06:11
officer. Uh but I feel that it’s better this way. Minister said no meeting is planned
2:06:18
right now between that meeting. What are the c Can we acknowledge it because you said
2:06:23
it? The president of the United States is wearing a hat that says I was right about everything.
2:06:30
So there’s numbers on the side. They’ll brief me later. I don’t know about it. I could know about it. I’m the
2:06:36
top law enforcement guy. I might know about it. I wouldn’t know. But, you know, I I don’t know. They’ll they’ll tell me later. I don’t know.
2:06:42
It wasn’t everything, but he’s been right about a lot. Okay. All right, gang. Those are the two stories we wanted to show you guys. God
2:06:48
bless. Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you guys next week. Take care. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Peace.
