get that clip ready as well. We’ll definitely talk about that. And yesterday you know one of one of our
girls Mickey she goes to sell her car and it’s so funny what happens to sell
her car. It’s such great basic simple advice for everybody. I’m going to give
it to you the moment we get into it on first offer, second offer, third offer. You won’t believe what that process was
like. It’s just such a weird thing that a lot of regular people don’t do anymore. They they they just go right
after the first thing they get. Ah, it’s a good thing I’m I’m going to go ahead and sell it. But anyways, let’s get right into it. Couple things. Today’s
Monday the 25th. This Wednesday, last chance, August 27th, we’re going to have
a private tour of our entire facility here. By that day, the football field
may be done. You’ll see the entire vision of what we’re building. I was on a call with a friend of mine this morning. He sold a record-breaking card
for $12.9 million. They bought it. They bought a card for $12.9 million. Him, Olri, and a
couple others. They literally just bought it. He’s out of the country conversation ticket. I’m telling them what happens here on campus when people
visit here. We want to show you the campus, especially those of you guys that are going to the vault. So, if you’ve already bought a ticket, great.
Rob’s going to put the link here for you to go register. If you bought a ticket, you get to bring a guest with you just to see the tour. Some of you guys are
going to be able to get on private jets and actually see what a private jets like. And some of you guys are going to see some exotic cars. And I’m not just
talking about some regular cars. I’m talking some very weird looking cars that cost a couple million dollars.
That’ll be this Wednesday. If you haven’t yet bought your ticket, we are literally two weeks away from the vault
conference. This is when all of a sudden everybody starts buying a ticket saying, “Oh my god, I got to get the ticket. I got to go. I got to go. I got to go.”
Which is great, but this is causing tickets to sell out as well. If you’re somebody that hasn’t yet purchased your
ticket, go to the vaultconference.com. Thevaultconference.com. Rob, could you
put the link below? Thevaultconference.com. If we have a QR code for them to go there as well, get yourself a ticket. Generals will be able
to network with around 4 500 people. Uh platinums and executives will get a tour
by a couple of our associates. Anybody that’s got a founder or SEO ticket, I’m going to be giving you a tour of the entire facility. Excited to see
everybody here. We’re going to have some ordurve some food. You know, it’s going to be some you’ll see stuff before a lot of other people will see it. So again,
if you’re in South Florida or surrounding people are traveling from, you know, uh from other countries here to just come for this. But if you
haven’t yet, go to the vaultconference.com, get your ticket and go register with the link below. We’ll add a guest. We’ll see you here in 48
hours. Okay. So, let’s talk about what happened this week and some basic simple advice for everybody. So, you know who
Mickey is, right? We all love Mickey. I love her. She’s trying to buy a new car. Okay. And
she goes out there to sell her car at the first place that she goes to, Toyota. She’s going to do an exchange.
I’m trying to buy this car 4Runner and Yeah. We’ll we’ll take your car. How much are you guys willing to give for my
car? 1,400 bucks. How much? 1,400 bucks. Wow. It’s like, “Yeah, it’s really only worth $1,400.” She’s like, “Man, maybe
it’s only worth $1,400.” She leaves. She said, “What should we do?” “Why don’t you go to Carvana? See
what they do.” Goes to Carvana. Carana offers $4,000. Okay. And then she comes back. She says, “They
offer 4,000. That’s awesome. Should I take it?” Like, “Well, we did one of our stuff with Suburban. Go try uh CarMax.
You know, Suburban with CarMax.” So, she said, “Oh, let me go to CarMax.” Goes to CarMax. $5,500.
So, she went from Toyota 1400 to Carvana $4,000 to CarMax $5,500. And this is not
even brought to you by CarMax, but this is like the biggest commercial for them, right? To go to a place like that. What’s the point? Take three offers when
you’re trying to sell something. Don’t jump on the first one. She went and got her $5,500, went and
bought a brand new Toyota 4Runner for herself. She’s super happy. It’s amazing how many people right after, “Oh my god,
this is good. Do it. You know, I’m going to take it.” No. Pump the brakes. Don’t be that in a hurry to buy a car. I was
telling uh Jenna Mickey this morning, you know, sometimes when people see us and they’re selling us something like,
“Oh, Pat can’t afford it. Sell him more. Yeah, ask him for more.” They don’t realize, first of all, I’m Armenian and
I’m Assyrian and I’m born and raised in Iran and I sit next to him and and you know, and I’ve been in financial
services my entire life. you you know when you make money yourself do you know
how careful you are to now your radars are always up to knowing that people are like oh he can pay more for all this
other stuff so anyways food for thought this is not a story this isn’t anything
this is just for the right 82 people that are listening to this that are saying you know what I got to go to three places before I sell my car that’s
all I’m telling you guy I’m glad that I’m rubbing off on you in the right ways PBD well take that money
dude that was such a great opening for me but kids are watching this kids are watching this and we’re just going to
stick to G. No, go for it. I’m not going for it, buddy. That was a little too easy,
but cameras are on. All right, let’s get into the story. First story we want to start off with. Rob, what’s the what’s the first story we got to go with? What
was the what did the audience ask for? New York City and Chicago takeover by Donald Trump. All right, let’s So, so let’s go through
the whole uh um the what do you call it? Um uh National Guard stories of what’s going on. All right. 1,700 National
Guard troops to deploy in 19 states for immigration. Okay. 1,700
deploy National Guard in 17 in 19 states. And this is a Fox News story. So
uh including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico,
Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming to assist at the Department of
Homeland Security with President Trump’s nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration and crime with Texas
projected to host the most significant Guard presence. The service members would support uh will support ICE by
performing case management, transportation, logistical support, clerical functions which may include
personal data collection, fingerprinting, DNA swabbing and photographing of personnel personnel in
ICE custody at a US defense uh uh official stated National Guard soldiers
being mobilized will effectively serve as a support pillar to a sweeping federal inter agency effort while also
serving while also serving as a visible deterrent force. Tom, your thoughts on
this story? Well, first of all, this is great. You know, DC last week, we didn’t cover it,
but there was a little story that that slipped out last week of why this is good. They said that
under pressure, political pressure, but they didn’t say who, they didn’t say what. They had actually been fudging
crime stats in Washington DC. Can you believe that, Vinnie? that the police
department there was two stories I saw that they were actually fudging crime stats. So it was probably it was
probably worse. These were people that were part of the police union that had since retired that said, “Yeah, we have
been asked to move these stats. We’ve been moving these stats.” The crime in DC was actually worse than it.
Uh yes, this is the uh Washington police uh commissioner Greg Peton talking about
the manipulated staff. Let’s hear it. Well, this is it. Absolutely. That’s one of the chief
complaints of our members when we go around and talk to them is that they respond to the scenes of these violent crimes and inevitably uh you’ll have a
captain or a commander or sometimes a lieutenant show up on the scene and advise them to take a report for a
lesser offense. Uh one of the things that we see them do often is is sometimes there’ll be a shooting or a
stabbing. And if the victim is uncooperative with the police, which is not uncommon in some areas of the city,
uh they’ll be directed to take an injured person to the hospital report, which is not even a crime at all. It’s an incident report. Uh sometimes you’ll
have a robbery, it’ll be reported as a theft, right? Other times you’ll have burglaries that are reported as uh
unlawful entry or thefts. Uh this is something that’s been uh unfortunately part and parcel of the police department
for some time. And and we’re very skeptical that these uh crime stats are accurate. Tom, there you go. There you
go. This is the guy who’s with the union trying to help the cops have good jobs. And you have a lieutenant or someone
goes on the scene. This isn’t a shooting. This is just an injured person. You know what an injured person is, Vinnie? I looked it up.
What? An injured person report could be this. A a crackhead, let’s just say,
unfortunately, is out there and he falls he goes knocks on someone’s porch. He’s
panhandling for money. He falls down the stairs and he’s unconscious on the sidewalk. Okay, he’s you know that this is not farfetched.
That’s an injured person incident. Instead, they take a shooting and turn
it into injured person because it affects the stats. It’s almost like Thomas. So, guess what? Not only is the National
Guard needed in these cities, these blue cities and these blue cities are trying to sound less blue, but the National
Guard is actually helping. And there were clips over the weekend of like people that are doing summer jobs,
selling stuff on the street. They were selling Gatorade and water and everything. They bought these big bag full of it at Costco, selling at $2 a
bottle to um tourists that were walking around going to see the monuments and stuff in DC. And they asked them what
they thought about it and they were like, “Well, um you know, I think uh I think I think it’s pretty good. You
know, some of the police were just kind of kind of casual about things. I think this is good. Makes me feel better.” And
so this this is Trump, you know, doing exactly what a leader should do to
address a problem. And instead you have the Dems that don’t care about what’s
going on in their cities in my opinion. Yeah. So by the way, while this is going on in San Francisco, I don’t know if you saw what happened with Adrian Guerrero.
I watched the video this morning. So there’s this guy, Adrien Guerrero, who knows if it’s a guy or a girl.
They’re saying female, male. I don’t know the the what uh the individual is, whether they’re male or female. The name
is Adrian Guerrero. He goes uh pulls up to them and this is what he’s telling to ICE. This just the video is disturbing
to watch. He starts screaming at the ICE agents, okay, saying, “I’m going to f
you up.” He also threatened to go after them and their family obviously going to stab you during the attack by
anti 15 anti-ICE writers who used pepper spray and punched officers. Homeland Security Christine are brave ICE law
enforcement are now facing a thousand% increase in assaults against them as they risk their lives to arrest the
worst of the worst criminals. These acts of violence are fueled by sanctuary politicians rhetoric vilifying our law
enforcement. This follows a July incident where 10 armed asylum asylants
in tactical gear opened fire on ICE agents near Dallas. All were charged with attempted murder. And if you look
at this, this is the black knife that he had. This Adrian Guerrero who knows again, I don’t know if it’s a guy or a
girl. Does he refer by he or she? Can you look at that? Because Fox referred
him by she. Okay, it says threatened after your Okay, so now watch the bottom one, the
Pam Bondi tweet. Can you go to the below the tweet terrorist rag right there? Watch this. Click on that
picture, Rob. Okay, we are now we’ve now made a total of 630 arrests and cease 86
illegal guns in DC. 53 arrests were made uh yesterday, plus 24 ICE arrests and 10
guns taken off the streets. Our incredible US marshals even helped recover a missing child.
Our mission to make DC safe again isn’t slowing down. Go a little bit lower on the data right there. 630 arrests August
21st, 86 gun seized, Tom. And additionally, we have statistics that came out over the weekend that we are
now entering our ninth and now 10th day in DC without a murder. And guess what’s
happening to the police officers, Vinnie? What? Guess what? The regular police officers
have increased the energy that they show on their patrols. You know why? They’re
not walking around casual anymore. You know why? Because there’s leadership there and the gig is up with the um
false statistics. So the police that are on duty there are now actively doing
their job, not just sort of hanging out and let DC happen around you. It’s all around good. This is leadership by the
president. Well, here’s what it’s a proof point. It’s now a case study. This is what Wesmore said. I don’t know,
Rob, if you have that clip. Wes responded to the president saying, “Keep our city’s name out of your mouth.” Kind
of like a Will Smith moment. Is this it, Rob, or is that a different one? I have a different one. I can play this and find that clip. Is that about the
the uh this is about sending the National Guard to Baltimore? Go for it. Are you so opposed to this deployment?
Well, there’s a there’s plenty of reasons. Uh you know, one, it is not sustainable. You cannot continue this
type of pace of operations, particularly when you’re when it’s costing over a million dollars a day in order to do
this. The second, it’s not scalable. You’re not going to be able to do this in every single major American city,
particularly when many of the cities that have the highest crime rates are the places that have actually deployed their national guards to Washington DC.
So, who’s going to who’s going to go do the work in their cities? The third, it’s unconstitutional. It’s a direct violation of the 10th amendment. And if
for for a party that talks about state rights, it’s amazing how they’re having such a big government approach in the way they’re conducting public safety.
The f the the fourth reason is because it’s deeply disrespectful to the members of the National Guard. you know, as
someone who actually deployed overseas and served my country in combat, to ask these men and women to do a job that
they’re not trained for is just deeply disrespectful. And so, when we’re thinking about all of these lasting
factors, when we’re thinking about the fact that it serves as a distraction from the fact that the president’s
disastrous economic policies are making everything more expensive for everyday Americans, is making life harder for
everyday Americans. There is a multitude of reasons that I am against this and I will not authorize the Maryland National
Guard to be utilized for this. I have two quick questions and I yield the floor. Question number one, how many times did he mention the stats in
Baltimore? How many times? Zero. Second, how many times did he mention protecting the citizens of Baltimore?
Zero. I’m done. Okay. Well, by the way, what they’re saying right now, Tom, they are giving stats. And what they’re saying is the fact that
crime in Baltimore is down year-over-year. Crime in DC is down year-over-year, and crime in Chicago is
down year-over-year. Now, keep this in mind. This is the data that’s being reported. So, who knows what they’re
comparing it to. Like going back to the data you were talking about earlier. Yes. So, so it’s not their argument is
it’s working. What we’re doing is working. Leave us alone. We got it. But the people are not agreeing with them.
The people are saying, “No, man. National Guard, come over here, please. We need you.” Vinnie, your thoughts? I I I think it’s it’s it’s ridiculous.
Him, you know, mayor of Baltimore, uh, mayor of, you know, New York had their problems and then the mayor of of of
Chicago. And mind you, but I’m going to say this, Tom. I don’t want the National Guard deployed anywhere. I don’t this I
don’t want government overreach. Nobody like any sane person. I don’t want the National Guard in these major cities.
But you know what? This goes on the mayor. This goes on the governor. Maintain your your freaking state. You
idiot. Cities don’t need it. No, I’m being dead serious. And the worst out of all of them is is Chicago.
The nightmare under Brandon Johnson. All my Chicago folks, all the Syrians in Chicago, you guys know what I’m talking
about. In 2024 alone, 581 homicides. And you’re right, Pat, when they’re talking about the numbers, it’s still almost 600
people dead, 2,600 shootings. There’s more mass murders happening every
freaking weekend in Chicago. The numbers are crazy. All the robberies, 1,600 carjackings. It’s a war zone. They call
it Shyra for a reason. All right. And he throws all those money. He thought, by the way, this is the guy that should be
giving money to fund the police. He had $600 million so far went to illegals and
that there uh $70 million in new property taxes to pay for that crap. All right. And meanwhile, his his his uh
approval rating 6.6%. Pathetic. Okay. And then he announced,
Pat, Chicago will refuse to work with ICE. And this is him basically saying like, uh, rise up to the citizens, which
is to me is a call to action about all the national go. Rob, play this clip.
And so, you know, look, we’re going to remain firm. We’ll take legal action. Um, but the people in this city are
accustomed to rising up against tyranny. Yeah. And if that’s necessary, I believe that the people of Chicago will stand
firm alongside of me as I work every single day to protect the people of this city. And I and as a as a Chicago,
did he do a Bill Clinton rap? 84 second thing he’s built. Go back about 10 seconds.
Look, watch the two times. He three time right there. That’s a perfect one. Watch this.
Against tyranny. And if that’s necessary, I believe that the people of Chicago will stand firm alongside of me
as I work every single day to protect the people of this city. But like literally, in my opinion, the
worst mayor Pat like and and this is this is like going up against Karen Bass and everybody. He is the worst uh mayor
uh in just in 2021 they had 797 homicides the entire he has more deaths
in Chicago than Canada and UK combined and forget about Lor Lori Lightoot
2021 Lori Lightoot I’m going I’m you’re going back you know where he’s at under him right now
what so 23 they were at so it went from 700 right there that’s the one so 2020 was
779 2021 goes to 805 2020 22 goes to 715 then 2023 621 then 581. So what they’re
saying is it is declining. So their argument is leave us alone. We are
figuring it out. Right? The same thing they’re saying with Baltimore went from 263 and 23 to 224.
The same thing with DC went from 274 and 23 to 187 and 24. And these are reports.
These are deadly uh uh uh the the what they’re measuring here is violent crime including homicide, robberies,
carjacking, has fallen to its lowest in 30 years. Good. That’s what they’re saying according to DOJ, right? However, this is the part
they’re not saying. What they’re not saying is it is higher than any other city in America. Period. Yeah. So, you’re sitting there saying,
“Well, give it a break, man. We’re making so much progress.” Yeah. you’re still some of the most dangerous cities
in America and you can’t get it together and we got to find a way to get even safer. Period. And if the president
wants to do that, he’s going to clean up town. Now, the the locals, what are people saying, Rob, if you can find a
clip of that one boy that’s walking around in DC saying, “How does it feel not being out?” I don’t know if you have
that clip or not. Go ahead, Adam. Your thoughts on this. Yeah. Well, the reality is American cities are unsafe. We see it all the
time. Vinnie brought up Shyrack. Anytime that you’re comparing an American city, a great American city like Chicago to
Baghdad, Iraq, you might have a problem in some of your cities. They brag about it, Adam. They brag about And Chicago is not even the worst.
Memphis, Detroit, Baltimore, Philly, DC, New Orleans, you know, Fort I don’t
know. Sometimes I hear some stories, but a lot of our American cities are unsafe. So Trump deploying the National Guard,
I’m trying to see the the downside from this. So it reminds me of like a story
of, you know, the the joke with uh with NATO, how like daddy’s going to take over. This is a sort of a weird story.
So my friends back in the day were in like middle school and uh we were home alone with all all our buddies all day
and our friend’s mom was kind of do whatever you want, boys. do whatever.
But wait till dad gets home and you’re going to you’re going to see what’s going on. We decide to put on our own
version of the WWE. We all picked our different wrestlers and combatants. You
would have been the Iron Chic. I’m doing the Hulk Hogan Ultimate Warrior Junkyard Dog where you know Superfly Jimmy
Snooker off the top ropes. It’s chaos in the living room. Pillows, fights, food
fights, just absolute Wrestlemania. The place is absolute crazy. All of a sudden, ding dong, dad shows up. We
freak out. We all run through the hills. Hi, cuz we understood when dad came
home, there was going to be hell to pay. What’s happening here is these cities have been run a muck by single mothers,
so to speak, and daddy’s home. Trump called a national guard and he’s cleaning up the streets. So, what’s
wrong? You don’t want less murder. You don’t want less crime. You don’t want less rape. What’s the downside? the
political perception of law and order being brought to your city. To me, as
long as you clean up these American cities that are held hostage by literal gang members and gun violence, I see no
problem. Pat, can we play devil’s advocate for a second? Like, you know, I mentioned a little bit. I don’t want them. I don’t want the National Guard
deployed in these cities. Okay. And like obviously it’s their fault, meaning these Democrat horribly run cities. How
long are they gonna say, Adam? Because you know what? This is how it happens, uh, Tom. They bring them in. They go, “Hey, we’re doing it because these
people aren’t doing it right.” At what point, like, you think they’re just gonna pack up and leave? Cuz you know what’s going to happen? People are going
to get used to it, Tommy. And they’re going to be like, “You know what? I’m kind of cool with the surveillance. I’m kind of cool with this.” And then it
becomes a freaking police state. So, I’m playing I’m I’m pissed off that the Democrats let it go that far, Pat. At
the same token, I don’t want the National Guard cuz then who’s to say they go like this? Florida’s going to go, “You know what? Like you mentioned,
it’s not that bad in Fort Lauderdale, but you know what? Give us 20 National Guard homers, Pat, and let them patrol
the streets. There’s a very thin line. No, you’re you’re making a very I I like that you’re being a being reasoning. I
like that you’re looking at I like that you’re doing because that allows us to see both sides. Here’s a message from uh
this is Seattle, a woman, a homeless Rob. Go ahead and play this clip. Watch what happens to you. Homeless woman breaks down crying as she pleads for
help in Seattle. think it’s necessary for President Trump to help cities in America by bringing
National Guard troops in for extra backup? Absolutely. Wow. Yeah. Absolutely. We need it. Come help
us. We We really need it here in Seattle. Seattle used to be a pretty city. It
used to be a nice place, but now it’s not. Everything’s closing up, shutting down because people just have it.
I don’t feel safe when I’m by myself. I’m scared a lot. I have to keep my phone in my hand because I don’t know
what’s going to happen. Yeah. To the day the smoke shop right here got robbed. Yeah. And I don’t think
there’s as much business that there used to be because people are afraid to come. Yeah. Absolutely. People don’t want to
spend their money when they fear for walking to the store. I won’t bring my kids down here.
I have to get a babysitter if I go. You’re seeing this, right? By the way, this is No, I don’t think she I don’t think she
I think she’s just there. Make our city Make our city shave again. He could do it.
I know he has the power, you know. And so you see this, it’s a five-minute clip. I don’t want to get into it. Now,
there’s the opposite of this, Rob. Play the other clip of the National Guard uh Humve is driving around and this man is
yelling at them. Don’t let them do this to you. Man just now yell at National Guard patrolling Washington DC. These
are your own citizens. These are homeless people. Uh watch this one here. This is a very, very different reaction
than what what you just saw. You can refuse these orders. These are

going to if you’re not going to do it yourself you know if you’re not going to do it yourself they’re not going to do it you know they’re just not going to do
it the reality is it comes down on the individual uh on the uh the leader at
the top the president was like look I’m going to expose you say whatever you
Pritsker is not happy. You think this is a good look for the governors of these states? Like Wesmore is trying to run for president.
Yep. Okay. Pritsker is trying to run for president and Gavin Newsome is trying to run for president. Okay. Gavin Newsome
is trying to run for president. And you can tell when you see these guys, they themselves are
you know around 2028 and Newsome I want to go through some of the stuff that he’s done. But prior doing this I want to get into one other thing. Rob,
if we haven’t done it, Rob, can you pull up the website again? So, Vault Conference, one more time, guys, Vault
Conference this year is brought to you by Goliath Ventures. Again, if you haven’t yet registered, Martha Stewart,
Tony Robbins, David Faulk, myself, two and a half days is what we’re talking
about here. And this the sponsor of all conference again, Goliath Ventures is
the title sponsor of all conference. If you haven’t yet gotten yourself a ticket and registered for it, go to the
vaultconference.com, get your ticket. It’s the once a year meeting where we all get together. Similar value, similar
principles, strategies, 296 page manual we go through over three and a half days. Get registered. We are two weeks
away from the event. And uh again, the event is brought to you by Goliath Ventures. Let me get back to the story
here. So, as we’re talking about this, you see Nuome completely change the way he’s campaigning. Yeah. completely
change the way that he’s campaigning. Rob, can you go to his Twitter account first? Let’s kind of go through his Twitter account. And by the way, believe
it or not, this is helping him. It’s bringing eyeballs to his Twitter account. It’s not like it’s not working.
So, he’s put this up there saying the Patriot Shop is now open. Look at the hats that he’s got. It’s literally
everything that Trump does, he copied. Nuome was right about everything. That’s Trump’s hat that he was wearing just
last week. Trump is not hot. A real patriot. Nuome 2026, even though he’s
not running in 2026, he’s talking about the midterms. Go a little bit lower. One by one by one, he’s taking shots at
everybody. Okay? One by one by one. He said, “We just sold $100,000 worth of
material.” This is what Donald Trump was. What? What does he say? Donald Trump was president during the last
census. Okay? So, he’s talking about the census. Every chance he gets, whether it’s him, his team, or somebody doing it
is calling him out. So, the question becomes, is it working? Is it not working? And here’s what Harry Anton has to say with data. And by the way, we
report whether we like the news or not. We’re reporting it for you. So go ahead and play this clip.
Get this. Up 450% in terms of the number of followers since midJune. And it’s not
just on Twitter X where where Newsome is gaining. Even on Tik Tok and Instagram, his followers are up over a million
since January alone. My goodness gracious. And more than that, Laura, more than that. What about Google? What
about those Google searches for him? Get this. Daily Google searches for Gavin Newsome up like a rocket. What are we
talking about? Since June 1, up 1300%. Compared to August 1st, look at that. Up
500%. So, the bottom line is in politics, especially if you’re thinking of entering in 2028, it’s all about
generating attention. And so far, Gavin Newsome has done a good job at generating attention. Do Democrats want it?
Do Democrats want it? Okay. Do Democrats want it? Of course they do. What do you mean? Like, do Democrats want it? Do they want
it Gavin Newsome? Yeah, because they’re freaking stupid. Look at stupid Vinnie.
They’re not We don’t need to We have friends that are Democrats. We have friends that are what what they are is
they Okay. If they keep voting for Yeah. But we can’t call them stupid. Like we can’t tell people they’re
stupid. Like there are people that are born in a certain way and they become Democrats. Okay. You know, like I’m
sitting there right now and I’m watching this video, Vinnie, which is about parenting. And I’m going to play the clip here in a
few minutes. I didn’t even find a way to go to it. I just want to make sure we’re not going out there calling all these guys dumb, stupid, all this other stuff.
I had a girl in my office one time. She’s the spouse of one of our guys, ex- spouse of one of our guys. And we’re
sitting there and I’m asking her, she’s a diehard AOC person. This lady can’t
stand me. She does not like me at all. Okay? Everything that happened, she’s
pushing the guy away from me. Okay? So I said, “Let me ask you when you were in school,
were you were you a uh English person, literature person, or were you a science
person? Were you a math person?” I hated math. Really? What did you like? I love
English and I love journalism. I like writing. Fantastic. What else did you like? Did you like chemistry? Did you
like physics? Hated it. What did you like? Like I told you, writing is what I like. English is what I like. Okay. I
watched this video that’s talking about parenting. I learned whether we like it
or not, people are born a certain way. Some people are more cutthroat.
Some people are more logical. Some people are more emotional. Okay? They’re
not stupid. They’re born that way. I’ve come to the conclusion, trust me, they’re not stupid. You are born that
way. I run an insurance company. I’m watching everybody. We come out with announcements. It’s the right announcement,
but somebody says that’s not fair to those people. That’s not fair to that person. And
typically the that’s not fair was to the people that are not working the hardest and they’re just kind of wanting everything to be easy.
So it is not it is not a stupid thing. Believe it or not, we’re trying to force
these people to change. They’re emotionally more caught up by the feeling. The question I got for you is,
do you think the approach he’s taken Newsome Vinnie? Yeah.
th000% up June 500% up August 450% up
activity on social media. Do you think this is going to work for him to be the leading candidate for
2028? You think he’s going to because I because I called it that he’s going to be the front runner for the
2028. I don’t think I know Tom’s Tom’s JB Pritzkar with the money and the and I get that act and you know what and
you’re actually right. I don’t think that they’re stupid. What’s the word, Pat? If it’s your if you’re just blind
loyal to the party, meaning and and you’re right. You’re right about what I don’t think that they’re all stupid. I I take that back. What do you call a
person that is just loyal to the party, but sees the crime, the border, the
lying? They know exactly who he is, but they’re still going to vote for this guy because it’s not the other side. What
would you call them? You know what I mean? instead of stupid. What What do you call somebody that Pat that knows that the ship is sinking and
they’re still going to jump on the ship because the ship has their name on it, has their group’s name? This is This is what I’ve learned. My
This is what I’ve learned. And Tom, I’m going to come to you because there’s a lot of other clips that Rob, can you find a couple of the
clips from Nuome, the old mayor interview when he didn’t want to talk about anything or you know, there’s a
couple clips I’ll show you about Newsome that’s just embarrassing and it’s so old. I don’t even know who sent it
yesterday. Was it sent me here? What a great clip you sent. People have Yeah. So, there’s a couple of There’s
three clips. There’s a debate moment. There’s that clip. We have to see it. But, you know, Vinnie, this is what it is. This is what it is.
Do you think there are people that if we get the worst Republican candidate ever,
criminal, terrible guy, horrible human being, they’re still gonna vote Republican?
Yes. Yes. What percentage? 90% of the rep of the current Republicans
like are going to vote for somebody. What do you think, Tom? What would you say? So, people that are died in the wool
that don’t trust no matter what they’re going to vote Republican and no matter what they’re going to vote Democrat. Um, my understanding is that it’s that
there’s 24% on the GOP side and about 27% of the total voting on the Dem side
that will stay red or blue no matter what. No. So, that’s a no matter what, right? So, you know what? what conclusion I’ve
come up with. That’s what you’re asking. That’s what I’m asking. The conclusion I I actually put it at 40 44. Okay. Give
or take 40%. But you’re asking me for the no matter what. Yeah. Yeah. So, you’re right. And let’s
let’s qualify both. Party affiliation. 40 Republican no matter what. 44 Democrat no matter what. Okay.
Yeah. So, when you when you look at these two things and and and you say, “What’s
wrong with you? What’s this? What’s that?” I’m telling you, I’m going to show you this clip by this doctor that’s going to break it down. You’re trying to
change people. You can’t. You’re not going to change this 40. You’re not going to change this 44.
They’re going to drive you insane. The only pe if you truly want to make change in the world and and and it’s
taken me 46 years old, having worked with so many different personalities, you’re
literally only dealing with 15 to 20% of people
Yep. that you’re talking to. Everybody else, it doesn’t matter what you say, you’re not changing them.
Yeah. You’re dealing with 15 to 20% of people. The 40 and 44% that ever change on both
sides, it’s because someone offended them. Somebody from their party, their own party let them down. Like if you’re
seeing right now hardcore conservative, pro-Zionist, pro-Jewish, all of a sudden hardcore anti. What happened? You got
offended. Somebody did this. And guess what? There’s nothing you can do about it. you’re not going to change that guy. You’re not going to change that girl.
It’s just not going to happen, right? Or a massive crisis happens in their life. Death in the family, you know, betrayal,
some kind of a let down, some kind of a chaotic situation. So, my my focus has been trying to talk to the people in the
middle that will sit there and say, “Well, I didn’t know that. That’s kind of that really exactly what happened.” Yeah. So, to me, what I think with what
Newsome is doing, this is the case study on how I’m looking at this, Tom. I’m looking at this. Okay. Go to 2027 2028.
All of these videos are going to recirculate. Rob, play any one of them that you have. Okay. Play which one?
Okay. This is the interview. By the way, it’s uncomfortable to watch it. Okay.
It’s uncomfortable to watch. Keep going. Keep going until it starts. All right. Watch this here. Starts from here. Right
off the bat. Watch what he tries to do. He’s a mayor here. I don’t know what the year is. This could be 06ish,
right? We can if we can find the Oh, this is the instant redirect, right? Yes. So, watch the within within 3
seconds. Watch what Newsome does and see if that reminds you of him today. Go ahead, Rob. Mr. Mayor, good to see you.
Let me start by asking you, where have you been? $522.2
million shortfall. Last year, we had a 57 minute 5.6. Hank, I’m I’m here to
talk about tomorrow, today, and tomorrow. Now, yesterday I’ve been working my tail off. I’ve been out. I
think I had 69 public events in the last two and a half weeks. You know, I heard you say that on the radio today and then I asked your staff,
“Well, where’s the print out? Where are these events?” He’s and and your press person said, “Well, this is stuff he
just goes to.” Yeah. These are all public events. Yeah. So, but but look, you know, the criticism that you have been dodging, not just the
press, but also the public, that you have been sulking after dropping out of the governor’s race, that you’re having
a temper tantrum. What do you want to say about this? I want to say that uh I’ve been working
my tail off. I’ve been here uh focused in San Francisco. I think I was gone two days out of the city in the last 3
weeks. We’ve done 69 public events. I’ve been as engaged or more engaged than ever. Uh I don’t read the press. Uh it
is comical some of the things that have been written. So the cartoon in the chronicle that depicted you as a crying baby uh with
the headline mayor mayor off the wall, you didn’t see that? No, you didn’t see it. Why? Who reads that
stuff? I don’t read that stuff. I focus on work. I focus on getting to the last 20 seconds. It’s not just the press.
The way he walks off. Go back a little bit. Let’s go a little bit forward. Let’s go forward. Forward. Forward. Right there. Okay. Go ahead.
Face it. Facet. At the end, he couldn’t leave the room fast enough.
Off the record, I’m amazingly disappointed. Amazingly. I just am personally, you
know. Well, I did draw him out more about the for asking asking questions. You see
what he says right here? He goes, “Just because you say off the record doesn’t mean that I
exactly it just shows how long he’s been doing this.” Oh man, he’s amazing. Amazing.
And and so so the question becomes, Rob, if you want to play this other clip, when you go through these back to back
to back, the question you ask is, is he still able to overcome this to go become a president? Maybe, maybe not. I mean,
there was a point that they talked about the debate where the guy who’s debating him, he says, “Listen, if his own best
friend can’t trust him with his wife, what makes you think you can trust him?” Right? Make that a little bit bigger.
Rob, watch this clip. Go ahead. For coming here in short notice,
uh, want to make it clear that everything you’ve heard and read is true. Uh, and I am deeply sorry about
that. I’ve hurt someone I care deeply about, Alex Turk, his friends and
family, and that is something that I have to live with and something that I
am deeply sorry for. I am also sorry
that I’ve let the people of San Francisco down. Yeah. Uh they expect a lot of the I don’t know if he’s going to explain
this to you or not. You know what it was? This is him in 2000 2005. He had an affair with Ruby Tippy Ror who was his best friend’s
wife. Okay. Best friends wife. And listen and I know people. So watch this clip on the debate. This
is it. Rob. I just found it. Play this clip. Rob. Sure. This is during the debate race for governor. His opponent says this to him.
This guy awesome. His opponent says this to him. Simple. Ladies and gentlemen, the question is very simple. Ladies and
gentlemen, if you can’t trust Gavin with his best friend’s wife, how can you trust him with your state? Woo!
Oh, wow. That is like best friend. I did not know that. Oh, really?
Oh, he slept with his best friend’s wife, campaign manager. Bro, like that to I mean, there’s so
many things about Gavin Newsome. I bet you know why he apologized. He got caught. He got caught. That’s why you’re apologizing.
So, Newsome had an affair with his secretary, Ruby Rippy Torque, the wife of his campaign manager and good friend
on January 31st, 2007. and Newsome’s campaign manager and former deputy chief of staff Alex resigned after confronting
Newsome over a sexual affair the mayor had with his wife in late ’05 and it was done with so he but but here’s a
question what was Newsome in ‘ 07 what was Newsome in ‘ 07 what was Newsome in 2007
job title mayor of San Francisco he was a mayor of San Francisco that personally presided over a same-sex
marriage that I believe he officiated with a judge on the steps of city All perfect. So in 07 he was a mayor. That’s
all I’m asking. I just want to know if he’s a mayor. So he was a mayor in ‘ 07. So he goes from mayor to governor to
recall winning again to now he’ll be the leading candidate for 2028 Democratic C.
So here’s what happens. And the real question for me the more I’m processing this from the business standpoint and I
want to ask you guys and you butcher the argument. I want to see what angles you’re going to take. So in California,
it’s not as if they’re going to have a Republican beat him. It’s not going to happen. And the guy that was standing to
his left in the debate, I think that was Mayor Via Garrosa. That was a former mayor of LA. I remember.
So he lost to him. They chose him. The money’s going to be behind him. The
backing’s going to be behind him. But the question becomes the same exact way
where a lot of Republicans had given up on Trump and they had said the Santis is
the one that’s going to do it because look at D Santis the way he did Florida he did this he was fighting he was doing
that. Is this going to work across the country nationwide? I don’t know. He
just passed a jerrymandering that’s going to be on the ballot on November 4th, which is going to make the state be 48 to4 House of Representatives on the
Democratic side. It’s going to go from 43 to9 Republicans to 48 to4 Republicans. It’s a monopoly California
is going to have, right? Do you think the voters, not the 44%, not the 40%. Do
you think the middle 15, 16% is going to look at this guy and forget these moments? Or do you think these greatest
clips are going to run against him in ways that he’s going to be forced to disappear and never ever run again? How
shameless is this guy that none of that stuff’s going to affect him to become a president? What do you think? He’s a
completely shameless um at a at a level that we haven’t seen in politics in a long long time. So I have three points.
Point number one, the attention is working. He is getting the attention of
Dems that are upset about the economy, upset about the way immigration is being handled, upset about the tariffs. They
were scared about inflation even though the the the facts didn’t come true on it. And so those people were upset and
they love seeing a now a nationally visible
um Democrat fighting for them and they love it that he’s calling Trump names.
So point one, the attention is working. They’re coming to his socials. The second, we got to wait and look at the
DNC. Bernie was leading until South Carolina and the DNC said we don’t think
Bernie’s electable on a national stage. And it I believe that that is the
opinion and I’m not a supporter of JB Pritsker and I’m not a a tea leaf reader. I’m looking at real data from
DNC. The DNC believes that JD Pritsker is the guy that’s electable on a
national scale. And I’ll tell you why you can ignore Gavin Newsome. Because the DNC takes California’s electoral
votes for granted. We’re going to win California anyway. We don’t need Nuome to carry a key state. We want GB
Pritsker here because what is surrounding Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cleveland, and that’s where the Dems
need to have a resurgence of a vigable candidate in those battleground states. So, I think the DNC is going to pull
strings on it. My third point is to your point about who we can move. I’ll give you two charts really, really quick. The
first is there’s an organization and I’m not plugging them. I’m just telling you what they do, Pat. The Johnson Oconor
Research Institute have been I believe in San Diego and they have been forever
doing analysis on human beings and they will tell you that that what you just said a moment ago is true. You have
normal aptitudes that are with you when you’re born and you can cultivate them
over your life or you can fight them. uh an example of fighting. You have a very
creative uh son, but it’s like dog on it. I was a doctor. Your grandfather’s a doctor. Your uncle’s a doctor. You can
make a great You can make a great doctor and you can be safe and have a good career and and we’ll help you get in and
you have a creative son, not gay, just to say creative son who’s into architecture. No, I’m saying that when I
say creative, I’m not speaking of code. Vinnie doesn’t have a gay son for looking. He’s really creative. But you
have a son that wants to be an architect and and the rest of the family is fighting his aptitudes. It’s natural.
The last thing that I’ll take you to, Rob, I need the Arizona chart on the
voter. There’s been all this talk going on about I just need the Arizona stats. Go back to Arizona right there. There’s
been all this talk about who’s registering the most, who’s not registering the Bose. And to your point about the 15 in the middle, would you
like to know what almost the largest party in Arizona is at 1.53?
It is independence. Libertarians and Greens are small. Can you find me the exact numbers on that? I think we found
that earlier on one of the links. It was the numbers for Arizona. Tom, did you say 1.53 million is
independent? That’s correct. I want to find the exact numbers. Democrats. Yeah. Amy and I covered this when we did
decision 2024 brought to you by Value Tamement. And that’s the part. Nope. So, I need that one in a second,
Rob. But but anyway, it is the independents are almost as large as the
Republican registered in Arizona. And that, you’re exactly right, is where the
battle is made. Now, go to the Gallup, Rob. The Gallup. Take a look at this, Pat. You’re right. These are the people
since 2023. Who do you identify with? They’re saying, “Who do you call you?”
So, this is also the independents. This isn’t how you’re registered. Do you identify more right now as a Republican
or a Democrat? And with all the mayhem and things that have been going on in the spring here, this is Gallup.
Gallup. Gallup. 46% no matter what, they still identify as Democrat. That is correct. Right now,
43% as Republic. You can see the surge that happened. The shift in Q1. That was
guess what? Q1 last year. That was the shift. The primaries. Trump comes back and look at the surge as the people
said, you know, I really feel more like Republican. But guess what? 46 43 that’s only 89. There’s your 11% which is
closer to 15% where you’re exactly talking a minute ago where the battle is
being fought. I got it. Go ahead, Adam. So the question is, does Gavin Newsome have a chance? What’s the exact
question? that is he to persuade that 10 to 15% that are just kind of on the
fence like well I don’t know where to who’s what message will will Newsome with this approach
that he’s taken will this work on the national scale not just on California?
Yes it will. Uh Gavin Newsome is a snake oil salesman. We all know that he’s a version of American psycho. He looks the
part acts the part. Don’t forget, you know, we’re a bunch of guys talking politics, talking current events,
talking social issues. You know, what we don’t have on this uh stage right now on
this podcast are females are women. And there’s a story here about the political divide between young men and young
women. We use as an example, young men. If you look at the stat, I don’t know if you can show this, Rob. You know,
they’re like men are moving more to the right and women are moving more to the left. Men are more conservative, women
are more progressive. Not really. Men are actually just straight up in the
middle. Rob, do you have that? Y. Uh, women have gone off the deep end
politically. So, we we tend to think of, well, you know, since Trump and since what’s going on here, men have come and
become way more conservative. That one right there, right here, if you see the zero, that is the bottom line. This is
young men in America. So, if you’re above zero, that means you’re a little bit more liberal. If you’re below zero,
you’re a little more conservative. Men are basically at the zero line. They’re not too liberal. They’re not too
conservative. That’s the green line. Men, women are off the deep end
progressive. So what we’re creating in this country since basically 2000 are angry liberal single lonely
depressed feminists. Not my opinion. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Numbers don’t lie. Words talk. Numbers
scream. They’re screaming. Men are not crazy MAGA extremists. They’re just dudes who know what they
do, what they what who they are. Women have gone not 10, not 20, not 30,
40% off the RTOR scale. So, you ask the question, uh, does Gavin Newman have g
Gavin Newsome have a chance? You betcha. Is he good-looking? Yes. Does he got great hair? Yes. Does he talk very
handsy? And and do women compel him? Uh, 1 million%. So if you put up JB
Pritsker’s sloppiness against Gavin, women are going to pick Gavin. You put up name recognition, don’t forget about
G name recognition. Nobody knows Wes Moore. Nobody knows Andy Masher. People hardly know Gretchen Whitmer. We all
know Gavin Newsome. I’m not saying he’s good. I’m not saying he’s qualified. I’m saying he’d be a disaster, but I’m
saying he could win. And and I and I think and Pat your to your question about that 10 to 15% I hope and that’s
why I think it’s it’s our job for podcasts like this and us to remind
people who this person is to show the receipts of who this person is. Show them what they do. And Pat, just FYI,
Rob, can you play that clip? I think it was CNN that the Democrats have a deficit of four. Play this clip. 4.5
million voters. Z in all 30 states that track party registration. We’re putting on the
screen the data. that shows altogether Democrats have lost 2.1 million voters. Republicans have gained 2.4 million.
That’s a deficit that you have of 4.5 million voters. So, I’ll apologize cuz I chose the wrong
wording. Democrats aren’t stupid. It’s just this blind loyalty and not knowing the actual like history and what this
person is doing. I think it’s a wakeup call to let these people know that 10 to 15 guys, this is who he is. This is what
he’s about. Nothing is going to change. But but for sure but what I’m what I’m the the angle I want to take is where
I’m going with this is I’ve I’ve always uh um if I’ve had a goal on who I want
to track to listen is the guy in the middle that is still thinking about which way should I go
the guy that wants to be that’s fairly reasonable that maybe was raised a
Democrat and is like let me tell you some of this stuff just doesn’t make sense to me right why is this happening
that’s all it is sometime when you present the argument, the person listens to it, and then you’re like, “Okay, now
don’t get me wrong. You need the marketing. You need all that other stuff. You need the shamelessness. You need I’m talking to Tony Robbins. I’m like, “Hey,” he says, “What do you think
is the number one quality of somebody becoming a president?” I said, “You have to be shameless.” He said, “I never thought about it that way before. You
have to be shameless to become a president. You have to know that. Think about what’s your most embarrassed about
your mistakes the last 10 years, 20 years. Are you comfortable with everybody around the world talking about
that? and you’re still shameless enough to go out there and become a president. That’s what you need. Trump has that. Newsome has that. Some of the people
have that. I don’t think Kamla had that. I think Kamla was, you know, I think Joe Biden had it. Believe it or not, Joe
Biden, some of the stuff you go back and the guy was shameless as hell is what he was. Okay. By the way, Clinton
shameless. You want to go through list? There’s Hillary Clinton the ultimate shameless. She just didn’t win because she had a terrible personality. She
wasn’t attractive. But you need that quality. I do want to show this clip about parenting. Vinnie, I want you to
watch this. Rob, if you can pull this up. This is a a gentleman speaking about
why parenting has almost no effect, Tom. After age 15, look at the way he breaks
it down. Go ahead. It’s where you live. Why? Because out ofome influences are more powerful in
shaping the life course of your child than inhome influences are. And those out ofome influences are peer groups,
other adults, neighborhoods, resources, schools, and the larger community that
you made available to this child. That is how you shape your child’s life. Of course, the second biggest influence is
also out of your hands, and that’s genetics. And you don’t get to determine that. But if you think parenting is so
influential, let me give you two findings that have been replicated many times. When we follow up twins, we are
able to calculate how much of their behavior is due to parenting within family environment. And here’s what we
find. The peak years of parental influence are below seven. From 7 on to 12, it drops dramatically. After 15,
it’s 6%. 6% of the variation in a teenager’s behavior is how their parents raised them. That’s it. And after age
21, it’s zero. There is no influence of parenting on any psychological trait after the age of 21. Now, do not mistake
what I am saying. The knowledge your child possesses, what they know is clearly a function of exposure in the
environment. But their traits, their abilities, their makeup, their personality is not.
Tom, do you agree with them? I agree to a certain extent. I mean, remember you’re talking about uh this is
the this is the psychological envir um environment and industry speaking and
it’s based on their their observations. However, there is truth in what he’s
saying is that you get really two bites at the apple. Bite number one is under age 13 uh before puberty because puberty
brings emotions, hormones and changes in in behavior that we all experience ourselves. The second bite you get is
between 13 and 18 when they leave the house. Now the first bite is much bigger
and more impact but you do have a chance between 13 and 18. And the angle that I
chose which was based on a lot of research was I taught my daughters to
reason and resist. To reason through the situations of life and resist the the
easy for the best. Resist the easy choices for the best. And I constantly
pointed out perspectives. I didn’t just stay in the echo chamber of our dinner
table. I pointed out, hey, did you see what happened to that kid at your school? Yeah. Do you see? Do you see
this? Do you see? And so when you start pointing out things that are happening in their environment and you teach them
to reason and resist, that’s what you get the second bite of the apple. But he’s correct in that. Look, when the
kids are young, you got to get them you got to get them young on the things that you want them to respect, to do, and to
have a natural inclination to. Because after puberty and all those hormones
hit, it’s really difficult. They’re fighting two things. Structure you’re putting around them and the natural
hormonal ziness, especially in young boys, it just happens to you. And then
where where where do they spend most of their day? They spend most of their day in school. And so you need to know what
is the makeup of the most influential kids are at their school and what are those households looking like. And I’ve
been fortunate that the households that the girls are being influenced by are
well ststructured and wellbehaved households. You know, you watched this and what he
says after 15 after 21 years old the influence is zero and he has zero. I don’t agree with that.
No. uh you know where it’s you know it’s more about parents more than you know the community more than it is a parents
okay fine yes I do believe that because purely the hours number of spend with different people it’s important to put
your kids in a school that’s teaching the values that you agree with and the risk is involved on
you know somebody may disagree with this Vinnie and they may say the following they may say well I don’t agree with this guy really yeah because the
influence is more on parents and that is why tell me why the LGBTQ community is
growing on the kids. You think the parents are doing it? You think most parents are sitting there telling their
kids to be gay? You think, forget about the Megan Foxes and forget about the Hollywood folks,
you know, the Dwayne Wes, you know, I know since my kid was three years old, he was a transgender, whatever. I’m not
talking about those guys. But who is doing this? Schools doing this. Who is doing this? Communities are doing this.
So there’s a part of what he’s saying is so true where if you build a community
like the way we are when we’re around each other, our values are similar. I don’t mind if my kids are with Tom and
I’m not there. He doesn’t mind if his kids are with us and we’re not there. We don’t have any problem there cuz we know what we’re teaching, right? And neither
one of us are undermining each other. Like I don’t undermine Tom and Tom doesn’t undermine me. You can have some other people that are around us and they
they take shots and you you see the kids and you see the kid disrespect you. The kid never disrespects me. the parents
disrespect me in front of the kid for the kid to disrespect you. So never think it’s the kid. It’s not the kid.
The parent is influencing that. So you’re like, “No problem.” If that’s the case, I’m not trying to get involved. It’s your kid. You handle your thing.
But on the part that I want to talk about here is the influence side. The other night
we’re having dinner, okay? And we’re at dinner, a restaurant we’ve never been to before. Some of you guys should check it
out. It’s called Kasad. So we’re having dinner at this place. Okay. There’s a guy that made a video with 40, 50 times
me saying it. I just love the place. So, we come back. You’re there. We’re in the car. You drove us home. We’re in the
car with the boys. Right. We come home that night and I sit down
with me, Tico, Dylan, and Senna. Mhm. I take out a piece of paper, okay? And I
said, “Guys, let’s play a game together.” And this is the game that we played. We played the game. I said, “Tell me,
you can see here what it looks like. I said, “Tell me, you’re 30 years old.”
Okay. What would be four to five things that
you would be proud of if you’re 30 years old that you’re doing? Okay. So, I’d want to be a soccer player. Okay, great.
What else? I want to uh run my own business insurance. Okay, great. What
else? I um I want to be a pal palant palento pal palento wait
what is that that’s like the study the dinosaur person Tom paleontologist I think it’s paleontologist paleontologist
okay so study of study of animal history right so you know that’s what I want to
do okay great what else and I’m going through it I I I’d want to okay what
else next one I’d want to be the co value tamement what else I want to be able to do this what I want to be able
to make movies. I want to be able to write scripts and my characters actually become, you know what else? I want to be
able to have them on bakery. I want to be able to do this. I want to be able to do that. And they’re explaining all of these things, right? So I said, “Okay,
what qualities do you need for this to become a reality? Leadership, determination, discipline, hard work,
poise. They’re giving me all the qualities. I’m not giving them.” I said, “So you need all those qualities to be this?” Yes. All right. Fantastic. What
route do you need to take for each of these jobs? Which of these jobs do you need a degree? Do you need a degree to be a professional soccer player? No. Do
you need a degree to be a business owner? No. Do you need a degree? So, we’re kind of going through it. Yes. I need it for palente. All this other
stuff. We’re kind of going through it, right? And then, you know what I do? I said, “Okay, great. Let’s play a game.
What’s the game? We’re going to play the imagination game. What’s the imagination game?” I said, “Let’s go through it.”
So, I said, “I want you to think about You’re 30 years old.” Okay. You’re 30 years old. Um, and
you’re You want to set that aside, Adam, for a sec? What What are you doing? You’re eating some chips and stuff? No. Go ahead, sir.
Okay. So, imagine you’re 30 years old and you’re actually doing this job.
Mhm. Adam, what are you doing, Pat? It’s a thing right here. Okay, good.
So, I said, I’m telling him 15 times, like, set that thing aside. I said, imagine you’re 30 years old, you’re a
professional soccer player. To one of them, I said, “Imagine you’re 30 years old. You graduate to West Point. You’re
in the military. I’m just watching reaction.” I said, “How’s it going to feel?” He says, “I guess we’ll know when
I’m there.” I said, “Okay.” So, I said, “Imagine 30 years old, you’re making movies, you’re
in the theater, you’re watching people’s reaction, they’re getting scared or they’re crying or they’re reacting and
you’re just watching everyone’s face. How’s it going to feel to see his entire
physiology changed, his face? Then I go to the next one and the next
one and then I go to Dylan. I wish I recorded this moment because I’m always going to cherish this moment.
This moment with these guys in tears and full on tears.
Dilly. Dilly. When I tell you full on tears, full on tears.
And he then sa I said notice which one didn’t give you
any excitement. Notice which one you were just kind of like whatever. Notice which one gave you
an incredible I said you have to realize
I can only take you so far, daddy. I can’t take you that far. I’m your dad.
My dad never told me to go be a business owner. He just set an example. I worked hard and I picked up the hard work from
and keep your word and I took it to this level. I’ve never seen anybody in my family make this kind of money. I wanted
to go to this level. If you’re going to go be a professional anything, you got to take it to certain
levels that I can’t even take it. Yep. But when you saw their faces, I said, “Notice you didn’t react to that, but
you reacted to this and you reacted to this.” So now it’s going to come down to what you guys want to do with your life.
But every one of them, Vinnie, is different. This is why I’m convinced there are
studies done about the fact that people are born with liberal tendencies and
people are born with conservative tendencies. you’re born that way. And
then some of it is family, environment, surroundings, all this other stuff that makes you that way. So to me, as we’re going through this direction,
there are people that hate passionately people like Trump. Passionately, they
hate people like Trump. And you know, you’re like, “All right, that’s who that person is.” But if we’re going forward
with this place and you’re seeing that whole number you just showed that was 2.1 million Democrats lost, Republicans lost 2.4 million.
Why do you think Democrats lost 2.1 million and Republicans gained 20 2.4 million? Why do you think the reasons
are border economy? No. Think about them.
So, so, so Democrats screwed up the border. Democrats. So, they’re they’re so they’re losing voters.
Why Why did 2 2.4 million people flip to the Republican side, right? Nobody’s emotional or taken by the
Democrat vision, what they’re selling and get me. It’s not about I don’t think it’s about the issues like that. I think
it’s at at first it’s at the core. You don’t get me emotional about the future
of America if you describe it the way the Dems do. That’s me. Yeah. You haven’t got me. But guess what? You
There’s a bunch of people that are moving that don’t like what they see in America and they like what they’re being
sold on. And I think a lot of them too, Tom, like when you see like when you see all these like I’m I’m not saying Stephen A. Smith
is not a Democrat anymore, but all this shift, all these people flipping because they’re like, “Wait a minute. this guy
like this movement that you you guys were lying to us this whole time from Russia to this to that to here the
economy and now now Tom they’re like wait a minute everything that you guys said about this guy that stupid that that I’m sorry I’m saying the word again
that hat Newsome was right about everything no Trump he wasn’t right about everything but he was kind of
right the tariffs are working the border this everything the crime it’s all working so now they’re all flipping to
the other side they are so to me if and the number one factor factor for me is results.
When when they first came out with all this transgender stuff and all the COVID vaccine stuff and all the stay home and
don’t go to school and put the mask on stuff, guess what the 20% did? Not not not the 40 40, not the 47, whatever.
What the 46 to 43, what did the 15% in middle do? Started questioning and getting upset.
No, they actually did it. The people the people are like, “All right, maybe maybe they’re right. Maybe
we should take the vaccine. Maybe they’re like, maybe maybe we should put the mask on. Maybe they’re like, maybe
we should stay home. And maybe maybe they’re right. Maybe. But then what happened? Then they learned they were wrong.
And then when they found out they were wrong, they’re like, dude, I don’t relate to you guys. What’s the point? The Republicans can
still screw it up and hand those votes out to the other side. They can still screw it up and hand the votes out to
the other side if they start getting overly confident. But right now, according to data, research numbers, if
and by the way, the tariffs are not even done yet. Imagine if they broker the deal with China. Imagine if he gets this
peace deal with Russia, Ukraine, Zerins. Imagine if he gets everything that’s done with Israel and imagine if he gets
all this stuff done and the economies popping next year. What are they going to say?
Well, you can try to mock all the stuff you’re doing. People going to look at you and they’re going to be like, “Yeah, what? You guys are funny. You You It’s
like the guy. You ever seen the guy just like, you know, the basketball game? The guy’s like, “Hey, what’s up, yo? What’s
up? What’s up? What’s up?” And the player goes like, he looks laughing at him. He’s like, he points out the leaders score.
You’re down 42 points, bro. Yeah. What are you doing? Y that’s what could happen in 2728 if they
keep playing this way. It could be a devastating loss to the other side the
way they’re going. Adam, have your nuts. Whatever you trying to have. This guy is like opens
up the nuts like All right, let’s go to Let’s go to Venezuela. Let’s talk about Venezuela real quick. I got a few things
I want to say about this. My nuts. So, Maduro relies rallies Venezuela militias before US warship arrival. So,
check this out. Do you know what is the most America’s ever offered a bounty to an individual? What do you think is the
most money America’s ever offered as a bounty? 25 million to who? Osama bin. Osama bin Laden and who else? Two names.
Saddam Hussein. Okay. So, you know what’s the most bounty we ever offered to anybody?
No, it’s Maduro. Record-breaking number one. So, a few things when you go through why this has happened and why this is such a
big story. It’s a massive story. By the way, I think we have
4,000 troops if I’m not mistaken. 4,000 troops. Okay. They’ve already deployed
three guided missile destroyers. USS Graveley, USS Jason Dunham, USS Samson.
Okay. They designate this guy as a terrorist organization the same way they did as MS-13 and a couple different
places. Do you know how much money from Maduro they’ve seized? I didn’t know this number. Do you know how much money
they’ve seized from Maduro? No. $700 million of bank assets, money,
accounts. We got yeah $700 million private jets completely seized it and and so the
question becomes why are they doing this? You know Venezuela is in responsible for 25% of the entire world
cocaine. So whatever cocaine that’s being used out of four you know lines you do one of them is from Venezuela.
Just kind of look at it that way. What about Colia? They got 25% of it. So they’re
competing. It used to be Colombia. Uh Adam is that I don’t know Tom. Do your little bubbler
noise. We’ll figure it out. Now you snort cocaine. You don’t bubble too long. While they’re doing this, Trump administ
Trump administration allowing Chevron to resume their US only oil operations in Venezuela. All of this stuff is going on
right with Venezuela. All this stuff that they’re doing and then Maduto is trying to flip the script. Rob, if you
got this video here to play, this is Is this a clip Rob? Yes. Go for it.
This week, I’m going to activate a special plan to ensure coverage with
more than 4,500,000 militia members, a millilia, across the entire national territory.
Militias prepared, activated, and armed rifles and missiles for the rural force
to defend the territory, the sovereignty, and the peace of Venezuela.
By the way, for the people that but for the people that don’t know, that’s not really his voice. I don’t know why that man, the
translator, was screaming the way he was, but uh shout out to him. He he was actually trying to get the energy as
well as Maduro was. He’s calling on Venezuelans to enlist the national militias ahead of the potential rival, the US warships in the
Caribbean with state TV on Friday, urging men and women to sign up at army bases and public squares. A presenter
declaring, “When your country calls, it’s as if your mother was calling.” Maduro stated a day earlier, “We call to
arms all militia members to tell imperialists, enough of your threats. Venezuela rejects you. The US plans to
send uh the the things that we talked about. Madura has claimed the militias have 4 and a.5 million people. Though
outside estimates put Venezuelan’s total forces at 100,000 to 400,000 as the ranks have been hollowed out by
desertions amid the oil rich country’s economic collapse. The US government, which does not recognize Maduro’s last
two elections victories, recently doubled down on a $50 million, and a lot of this is accusing him of
leading the cartel deslos solos allegations. Maduro is dismissed as
rotten rerun, aiming at justifying foreign intervention. So Tom, what are
your thoughts about what’s going to end up happening here? Well, let’s play fun with math with Mr. Maduro. It says very, very simple. How
many people did he say is his militia? 4 and a half million. 4 and a2 million. 4.5 million. Okay. The World Bank seems to think his
population is 28.2. Independent uh estimates indicate it’s 26.7 to 28. And
there’s one estimate at 29. Let’s just go in the middle at 28 million people. 4 and a.5 million people would be almost
18% of the total population is in a militia ready to help their dictator
that has destroyed their currency, shut off electricity and water, imprison people, chase the um highly educated out
of it. You see also Cuba 1965 um Castro did the same thing and now he’s been has
a bounty on his head. You’re telling me that? And so this is why the uh military
estimates are uh he only has about a 100,000 and they’re really poorly armed.
When the [ __ ] excuse me when the [ __ ] starts to hit the fan from the you only need one of those destroyers and we’re
sending three. This is this is off the charts. Now then there’s a very
important word that’s in the middle of all this reporting and that word is chevron.
That’s tricky. That’s right. Yeah. Who is Chevron is buying oil from Venezuela?
What international oil group is Venezuela a part of? And everybody forgets about it.
OPEC. Correct. They are the lone OPEC representative in the other hemisphere.
So, and they went to OPEC so that they could get pricing controls and other things because they didn’t have a
working government to help. And so, right now, Maduro is just out there. Man, this is literally a man
without a country. There will be celebrating in the streets. Um, on one
hand, when this guy is taken, the other hand will be very upset that the US came and did it. You know what I’m saying? It
says it’s like, I’m glad you fixed immigration, but I hate the videos I see of you taking people out of the field.
Living conditions is absolutely horrible in Venezuela. So, Pat, two things. If we want I mean,
we have a bounty. Let’s let’s be completely honest with each other. If we want this guy dead, he’d be dead like
that. Let’s not even Well, you can do the CIA way or you have to do a public way where you get the
citizens to come up and and hopefully vote for something of a working government because because when I see them like
when I think of the people, I feel bad for the people. The same like with Iran Pat like it besides the people having to
freaking rally and I get it cuz you know they have everybody so you know scared and the military and this and that. If
we want, we have a bounty, but if we want him done, Tom, this guy could be done in a week.
What’s your point? I’m just saying like what what are they waiting? What’s the bounty gonna do? Bringing awareness. Yeah. What fills it in? 20 25% of the world’s
cocaine. I mean, the cocaine coming to North America. What fills the gap? What did we learn about Saddam Hussein?
What do we learn about the Sha Varan? If you come in and you just cut down the tree, you better have a plan to get
shade for the citizens because now there’s no tree. Well, I mean, but if you put a bounty, that means, hey, hey guys, anybody out there, if you kill
this guy or you capture him, we’ll give you 50 million. He’s got the the the the bounty set. They want him dead.
I’m not I’m not buying that uh description that Tom used. I get that that’s correct in the Middle East, but
nowhere in South America are Islamic extremist terrorists taking over. They always say, you know, what’s worse,
what’s on the other side will take over. Correct. You’re always like, what’s worse? What’s next? Well, we know in the
Middle East, what could come next? What could be possibly worse than a communist
socialist dictatorship in South America? Like, show me something worse. There’s no worse that can come from it. So,
what? Trend day awa will take over Venezuela. Venezuela already has the highest misery index in the high in the
entire Western Hemisphere. So, in the Middle East, yes, things can get way worse uh when a Islamic extremism group
comes in. In the Western Hemisphere, we don’t have that sick twisted ideology. We just have terrorism. So, I’m not
buying that. The getting worse as much as it is, Adam, better. How does it get better? And people like Chevron that are
heavily lobbying the US government to intervene yesterday. the entire oil
producing and refining industry is in the president’s ear right now and in the
ear of Marco Rubio saying can you fix this because this could be a key supplier here in this side of the world
and so how do we put something better in place it’s not I’m not worried about Muslim extremism being part of the
government I’m worried about can we at least get closer can we at least get a leader that’s closer to Mexico who’s
still corrupt and and led by the cartels, but as something close to a working government. Well, the challenge is when you’re when
you’re saying Mexico, the the worry is if Venezuela succeeds, Shine Bomb is
going to look at that as a case study because, you know, Mexico is also, you know, uh uh the claims are that they’re
also being controlled by the cartel. So, we know Venezuela works directly with them. How the hell did when they say
they see $700 million of assets, how does Maduro have $700 million of assets? How’d you get that money? For the oil.
Who’d you take it from? Where’d you get that money from? How do you have all those jets in the luxury? What What business was he in? Did he find Did he
start an oil company? You know, when you have 80% of a country living below poverty line and 54% living extreme
poverty lines. In some regions in uh Venezuela right now, there’s 20our
outages, Vinnie. 200 outages a day in Venezuela. 200 outages a day.
This is water and electricity. Yeah. I mean it’s it’s it’s it’s horrible horrible living. I think on the
misery index they’re 178 out of 180 countries they scored 10 out of 100
is what their scores. 10 out of 100. There’s only a couple countries worse. Yeah. There’s only a couple Zimbabwe and Sudan.
Yeah. It is a there. You know what their inflation is here? We’re talking about inflation being what? What? What’s the number? We’re trying to keep it below
2% 3%. Do you know what inflation is in Venezuela right now? 700 plus%. It was
500%. It’s at 700 70 plus%.
It is. So, And by the way, have you ever met Venezuelans? They’re the best. They’re the best. Oh, I love them.
They’re some of the best people in the world. Literally some of the best people in the world. Guinness
broke a world record about 30 years ago. They were talking about the happiest people in the world. You know what they
ranked as the happiest people in the world? Venezuela. Really? People from Venezuela were known as the
happiest people in the world. We’re talking decades ago, you know, but things have changed. And so bigger concern with this
is if they allow them to continue other Maduros in South and Central America are
going to be like oh there is opportunity. America will allow somebody like me to be there. One you got to get the oil to be circulating. The other two
the other one is you don’t want another person to want to be like him. You don’t want Mexico to be like him. So they’re kind of playing offense and you know
it’s going to be interesting see what happens here Venezuela. Adam well this is just another case example of what communism and socialism will do
to your country. Uh, I want to say that 40 years ago, you talk about 30 years ago, Venezuela, I think, was one of the
richest countries in the entire Western Hemisphere. I mean, incredible economy.
And now it’s just basically an authoritarian gas station run by this dictator/thug. You know, they say, “Show
me your friends, I show you your future.” Who are the friends of Venezuela? You have Cuba. Uh, and don’t
get me started on all my Cuban friends in Miami who would have no interest going back to Cuba ever again, but they
love their Cuban heritage. Uh, my people out there, Russia, China, Iran, these
are Venezuela’s friends. So, there’s no bueno going on in Venezuela, and it’s
only getting worse. So, whatever the uh bounty is on Maduro, uh, hopefully someone cashes that paycheck.
Let’s go to the next day, next article here, folks. Retirement age should be
58. Survey respondents said on average, here’s what financial advisors recommend. CNBC retirement age should be
58. Surveyed Americans in a June 2nd empower report polling a 101 adults said
the ideal retirement age should be 58 years old, significantly younger than the 2024 retirement age of 64 for men
and 62 for women with 58% Americans retiring earlier than expected due to health related reasons. 46% employment
issues, 43% family reasons, 20% uh is uh
financial stability, 21%. Caroline Mlelen, a certified financial planner
and founder of Life Planning Partners in Jackson, Florida, warned that retiring at 858 means looking at 30 or 40 years
of not working due to longer life expectations, advising, you may end up coming up
short, not having money enough if you quit work too early. She emphasized ensuring enough savings. The magic
number for comfortable retirement per an April Northwestern Mutual report is an average of $1.26 million down from $1.46
million previously. I don’t know how the hell that happens. Yet 51% of respondents feared outliving their
savings. No [ __ ] With Mlelen Mlennon stressing the need to know how much is
required to live on during retirement and save accordingly. Adam, thoughts on the story? I mean, you know how you got
mad at Vinnie for calling people stupid? The people who actually believe that they’re going to retire at 58 are
stupid. Uh, you might want to use other words, uninformed, naive, misunderstood.
You don’t understand how much money you need for retirement and really what 58 is. We broke down social security the
other day about how it was uh implemented during the New Deal under FDR. What was it? Age 62 it kicks in. 65
is uh um was life expectancy at the time. life expectancy. Now, if you’re
the other way, sorry, 65 was 61. Benefits began at 65.
Either way, 58 is such a ridiculous number. It just shows how uh uninformed
and naive a lot of people are about retirement. I told the story about my mom. My mom’s 74. I said, “Mom, you’re
going to work till you’re 80. What else you don’t have any hobbies? I love you. You like hanging out with people. You
work at a a nurse’s office, a hospital. Help the people.” Uh more and more people need to find uh meaning and get
passionate about what they do because get ready to work. You know, Rupaul said, “You better work. Work it, girl.
Work it, girl. You guys are going to be working for the next 30, 40, 50 years.”
In my opinion, retirement age needs to go up, not down. 58 should be flipped to
85. Well, what’s interesting is I looked at the survey a little bit more closely prepping today and I noticed that it
said the thousand1 respondents said the age should be 58, meaning they wish they
could retire at 58, which is what they were saying in the survey. That’s what
they’re saying. And I’m not interpreting anything other than what was written there. I’m actually I’m not interpreting at all.
So retirement age should be 58. Okay, great. What that doesn’t point out is purpose. Um, the greatest and I re I I
think this is part of the the greatest uh speech and and it took very little
time on retirement was given by Bobby Bowen. They said, “Coach Bowen, when are you going to retire?” That was my coach.
He says, “I am in no hurry to retire because that means sitting at home waiting for one big event,
death.” Exactly. That’s what he said. And he said, “As long as I have a passion for these kids, I’m going to be here on the
sideline.” And so he lived 93 years. Good old Bobby Bact.
You would have been retired 5 years ago according to age 58. That’s ridiculous. I’m not No,
you’re not waiting sitting around waiting on death. No, no. I’m on the Charlie Mer plan. Kelly found out the other day how old
you are. She was shell shocked. She thought you were way old. No, no, she was shell shocked when we
told her how old you are. She couldn’t believe it. Vinnie, so and you you actually uh Charlie Munger plan.
No. Well, you brought this up a while ago, and I I’ve been repeating this over and over about people and you know, u uh
Adam’s mom, hi mom, she’s out there watching, uh you brought this up, the the study that employees who retired at
55 had almost double the risk of death within 10 years compared to those who retired at 65, specifically many who
retired at 55 died before reaching 65. Then an Oregon State University study in 2016, people retired at 66, had an 11%
lower risk of dying early than those who retired early. And then um early retirees had a 13% higher risk of death
than those who retired ear. Like if you by the way the machine has to keep moving once you stop and you sit I don’t
care if it’s a Ferrari brand new Ferrari leave it on your lawn for a couple years and don’t drive it. What happens to it? It’s going to the battery is going to
die. It’s it’s so interesting Tom when you’re saying 2001 should be 58, right? Would like it to be
58. But this is what I’m wondering for the people that said it should be 58. Well guess what? If you, Mr. and Mrs.
retiree, if you made the right choices in your 20s instead of smoking weed and
partying, if you worked your ass off in your 30s, 40s, and 50s and put yourself in a position to retire at 58, guess
what? Go at it. But when you say should be, are some of the thousand1 saying
that the government should allow me to retire at 58 years old and taxpayers pay for you? No. That’s a no. I don’t care
what age a person chooses to retire. It’s your provocative. Do you want to do 42, 58, 79, 98? I don’t care. It’s your
decision. Sitting down with a guy the other day and good friend of mine and it was such an awkward conversation. I said
to him, I said, “You know what’s funny? What’s that?” He’s probably listening to this. I said, “You know what’s funny?” I
said, “I remember the guy when I first met how
you used to work.” And he says, “What do you mean?” I said, “Man, you don’t work the way you used to
work. You want me to work like if I’m as if I’m in my 20s.” I’m like, “I’m sorry.
How old are you? You’re similar age to me. You’re acting like you’re 72 years old.”
I said, “By the way, if you made better choices in your 20s, 30s, and early 40s,
you could have worked less if you wanted to, but you didn’t. So, you don’t have a lot of options.”
Yeah. It’s not like you have the luxury of not having to work. He put himself in a
position that he can wake up anytime he wants, right? He worked with a company and he can be the $200,000 Uber, you
know, no responsibility, no kids, no nothing. I’m just kind of I don’t want a house. I don’t want anything that’s a long-term payment and I just got a bunch
of cash I’m sitting on. Guess what? He can be living the life that he wants today and no one can tell
him anything. Wow. I’ll take it. You want to that that doesn’t mean people want to work with
him. That just means he’s put himself Why you got to go there? No. No. But all I’m saying is you made me feel great about all my
decisions and then you’ be like everyone hates that. But this is where I’m going. Do you know where I was in real life? But I was
trying to explain to life trying to explain to this guy, bro, 40 to 60 are your best working years of
your life. And you’re saying, you want me to work like as if my 20s? No. More.
Are you out of your Yes. What do you mean I work more? Cuz you screwed up in your 20s.
You screwed up some of the money you had in your 30s. That’s nobody else’s fault. It happens. But you got to play offense.
I’m working harder than I was in my 20s and I’m enjoying life. I’m enjoying what I’m doing. I’m not sitting there like
and and and and the difference is some of us have the luxury to stop and never have to work and we can stop and my kids
don’t ever have to work. We made some real good choices, but you think I’m going to have that happen with my kids?
No. So, so, so the challenge with this number at the 58 thing is if you said it should be 58 and you made the right
choices, you should retire at 58. Go ahead. No one can tell you anything. But if you didn’t make the right choices and
you want the government and taxpayers to lower retirement age from 65 to 58. No,
I think we need to increase social security to 75 years old. I think we increased the benefits starting at 75
years old. When the plan first came out, for every one person that was getting
retired, getting social security, 40 people paid for one person Yeah. retiring. Today it’s 2.5 per one person.
Geez. 2.5 per one person. There’s a chart that shows what was happening with the amount
of people taking benefits. It just went like this. Skyrocketed. Not sustainable. So no, I’m not with the 58.
Well, you know, there’s mathematics and there’s longevity. If you’re going to be on longevity side, you take away purpose
and appreciation, you accelerate deterioration of human beings. And that’s the people that retire early. And
if they don’t have purpose in life and appreciation, those two things keep you going. And guess what? Faith is a
tremendous platform on which to put purpose and appreciation. Continue. You could retire from your regular job if
you make good choices in your 60s and then you could teach, you can volunteer, but if you don’t have purpose and appreciation, you don’t get longevity.
The other thing is a math problem that you’re bringing up, Pat, that that the whole nation’s got to figure out. Yeah. You know what’s funny with the
story? This leads to the next one which is it’s so funny that people want this are the people that didn’t make the
right choices. Tax inheritance at 100%. Okay, so it’s the only fair choice says
Lewis Goodell. Okay, I don’t know who this guy is. He’s talking about tax. Uh,
and by the way, this is not just him talking about it. I don’t know who this fellow is, but uh he’s a presenter for
LBC, co-host of News Agent Podcast. argues for a radical 100% inheritance
tax to address wealth inequality, stating, Rob, if you want to play the clip, go for it. What we’ve got at the moment is an
aristocracy of wealth in this country. It’s also true of the United States as
well. So, what I would do, what I would do, and I wouldn’t be opposed to, by the
way, I wouldn’t be opposed to 100% inheritance tax or maybe let’s say 99%.
You know, my my rule might be that if you can put it in two P bags, then you can hand it over. That’s fine. 99 9 95%.
I’m being provocative, but you see what I mean? I would not be against a far higher rate of inheritance tax than we have at the moment, which is 40% above a
certain threshold. I wouldn’t be opposed to putting that to 50%, 60%, 70%. Why?
Because I think the quidd proquo should be twofold. One, that helps fund public services, which actually helps level the
playing field in achieving a true meritocracy. Two, it will help us reduce
taxes on income because at the end of the day, I want to incentivize work. I
want to incentivize productivity. I want to incentivize people to get up off their backsides and do more. You don’t
have a right to inherit. What you should have a right to be to work
while you’re alive and get keep more of your own money. That to me is more important, way more important than your
rights to just inherit some money from mommy and daddy that you did nothing to earn. So wait, so wait, so can I can I
understand this guy correctly? He’s saying say you have $20 million and I die and I want to give it to my dad.
You have three kids. He thinks your kids should get zero and 100% of it goes to the government.
I hope this guy never ever gets into By the way, he’s not alone. There’s a lot of liberals like him that I can
imagine uh uh that that believe in this. So Tom, your thoughts on this 100% inheritance
task tax that I think Elizabeth Warren and others have also spewed this type of
nonsense with inheritance task. What do you what are you saying with this? Well, I’ll start with this guy. So, it’s not fair for one guy to build a company
and build a bunch of jobs for people and then his kids to inherit that. It’s not
it’s not fair for one. But in the UK, they celebrate the Champions League. And
only one team wins. It’s the best team, and that’s 2.7 out of the 36 teams. You
see where I’m going, Vinnie? So, on one side of life, we celebrate one rising above. On the other side of life, we’re
jealous of it. Which side do you want? Yeah. Which side do you want? And how do you legit? And you say, “Well, they worked
harder. They’re the Champions League. Your team didn’t play defense. Your team was lazy. Your team was poorly led.” I
could say the same thing about Citizens. And I love this. I make this analogy for people and it causes people to kind of
back off their argument a little bit. Except the ones that are just basically
envious. They’re envious and their justification is what I think is a very weak statement
that he made. It’s like and there would be more for public services. They’re printing money and you’re not getting
public services. So you’re saying if government gets money from a different source, government suddenly is going to
be better at providing public services? No. You’re justifying your greed and
your envy with, oh well, public service will be there and everyone will get it.
That’s so untrue. And this is when you have people who didn’t do it. When you
have bureaucrats making laws about businesses, that’s when businesses get constrained and overregulated. When you
have bureaucrats making laws about about um inheritance, you now take you be
careful about taking away that incentive to accumulate. Be careful. So Tommy, right now if Tom Pat I had $20
million and I passed away and I have two kids, how much are they how much is tax going?
Can I explain this to you? Yeah, go. I’m going to tell you this tax thing I had to learn the the hard way, so to
speak. Uh we get taxed to oblivion in this country. We all know about uh income tax and federal and state and
local and people are moving out of New York or California. Then you have employment tax, you have payroll tax,
you have all the you have mortgage tax, you have gas, you have a car, you have your VAT tax. But then here’s the deal.
You pay all these taxes and then you die and there’s something called the estate tax, the death tax. I learned this
because every year with Welcome Funds, my other company, I would go to this event called the Heckerling Estate Planning Conference. It’s put on by the
University of Miami. And the entire premise of the conference is all the leading estate planning attorneys, CPAs,
all the biggest and the biggest of the biggest uh tax professionals meet up at this one massive meeting. And the whole
premise is how do we save our clients, our rich wealthy clients taxes when they
die. They’re putting together trust and legacy trusts and life insurance and eyelets. And the whole premise is let’s
save that money when these people die. you get taxed to oblivion and even when you die and what you have is what’s
called an exemption and the Republicans always try to raise it. I think under George W. Bush neighbor Trump they made
it collectively 20 million I want to say under Obama you brought it down to 5 million because the Democrats are always
looking for more money to basically help pay for things. So they’re tax tax. Republicans are like listen you already
paid $100 million of tax of your life. Now you want another 20 million of the death tax. So the whole premise is it’s
taxed to oblivion and even at your death the the tax man’s going to say pay up.
So so how much Adam if I want to give my my my I die I have 20 million and I want to give it to my kids how much is the government going to take before they get
it? Well, it depends on what the exemption is potentially if you’re married and like that. But right now, the current exemption ask the current
40. No, no, no. What’s Rob the current estate taxion? I want to say when you’re married. So,
here’s what would happen if you if you’re not if you’re not married, you’re single, you got 20 million bucks,
the first 14 million, it would be exempt. So, you’re not paying tax on the first 14, but you would pay on the six,
say whatever progressive tax, the same way they do it, 40% on it. So 40% on the
6 million. You would pay $2.4 million. Wow. 2.4 million. So really you’re paying 2.4 million on uh 20 million bucks, right?
But if you have a $100 million, you wouldn’t pay anything on the first 14 and you would pay it on the 86. The 86
would still be taxed at 40%. So 40% of 86, you’re paying 34 million bucks on
the number on money you’ve already been taxed on. So So you make the money. So let’s just say you make a million dollars in a
year. Half of it goes towards taxes. Yeah. You keep the half a million. Okay.
Then you take that half a million. Everything you buy, you’re paying taxes on it. You put that half a million dollar, say you start saving it over the
years. Later on on the half a million. So the the argument against it is the fact that you’re getting tax on the money you already pay taxes on. On the
money that you spend that was already taxed, why am I paying more taxes? In the states, I think Elizabeth Warren
and and Bernie Sanders made the argument for 60 65% estate taxes. Period. But this
goes back to the following. Why punish the people that made the right choices? Why punish the people that were
disciplined with their finances long term? I got a kid over at the house yesterday with this family. You know who
these guys are? Soccer. Uh uh we’ve spent time with the family. And he starts asking me questions. 11-y old
kid. You know, I want to get into the investment field. And I’m thinking thinking about starting to invest now
and all this other stuff. And I’m showing him numbers. is I said, “You know, Warren Buffett at 50 years old was worth $50 million and he’s worth $200
billion right now.” What? Yeah. You know how that happened? How? Compound interest. He just had his money working
for him, you know? And he kept growing and growing and growing and growing and growing it. And then eventually he’s where he’s at right now. But guess what?
He’s still living in the same house he lived in Nebraska, the $700,000 house. He’s still living in the same house. He
can afford to buy the biggest house in America. He didn’t. He played a very different game. Not the most exciting life
he lived. He lived a very different life, but the guy’s worth a couple hundred billion dollars. But don’t punish the person that was disciplined
in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, so they can pass that down to their kids.
Let them make the decision on what to do it. You’re going to hear some of these thoughts. Tom, were you going to say something or no? No, I you you basically hit it as you
were covering those points. Fantastic. I’m with you. Okay, so let’s go to the next story here. Snoop Dog, okay,
is going to the movies with his grandson. Okay, it’s kind of weird to say Snoop’s got grandsons, but he’s got that’s what happens when you get older.
And he goes to this one movie. I think it’s called Lightyear or whatever. And in the movie, I let him tell you what
happens. And he’s confused on what happens there. Go ahead, Rob. I took my grandson to see uh what was
the movie with uh Buzz Light. Toy Story. Not that one, but the Oh, the new the new Buzz. The Lightyear.
I think it’s called Lightyear. Kiki Palmer is in that movie. Okay. She plays like the daughter. So, we watching it.
And the lady, which is Kiki’s mama, they move on into the spacesh. They move
down the line. They’re like, “Man, she had a baby with the music.” A woman. Why? My grandson in the middle
of the movie like, “Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman?” Oh [ __ ] I didn’t come in for this [ __ ]
I just came to watch the goddamn movie. Hey man, watch the movie. Uh-uh. They
just said she and she had a baby. They both women’s. How does she have a baby?
Sh. The movie ain’t over with. So it’s like [ __ ] me. I’m scared to go
to the movies now. Like y’all throwing me in the middle of [ __ ] that I don’t have an answer for. Mhm. Vinnie,
I mean just when you and what? This is a Disney movie. Like your like your am I right Rob? Is that just
just to fact check me? Okay. know just when you thought Disney couldn’t make it
any worse and you thought that they were going to be changing they find a freaking way for the last decade.
Remember that’s a 2022 movie. Yeah, this is 2022 movie but still they still they’re taking it
off for sure. It’s like how my my thing is just how much money how much I and there by the way I don’t think Disney is
changing uh changing gears. P I think they’re still making stuff like this. And I just they’re getting rid of this
Jacqueline. What’s her name? Something Kennedy. Uh Kathleen Kennedy that gets her job her contract’s coming up this
year or next year. End of 2025. She’s stepping away. When is Kathleen Kennedy stepping away, Rob? Do you know the
date? Uh let me find out. And is she with Disney? She’s with Disney. She’s with Lucas Films. Which is
Disney? Lucas Films. Yeah. And I and and and I get it. I I get they’re changing. I know Bob Iger’s uh there and he’s
trying to adjust up, but I mean this is just the point of they’re making people like even like Snoop who Snoop is
anti-Trump. I’m I’m I’m pretty sure he’s a freaking Democrat. But I I I don’t love that it’s happening. But it’s good
to see Tom that like for Snoop for you guys for it to finally find its way to
hit Snoop Dogg where he has to sit there and explain to a kid to cuz we talked about it earlier today to me that yo
that’s that’s grooming. You’re making these kids look like for the kid to ask that and be so confused at that age
that’s not by accident. They’re doing it on purpose and we were talking about earlier in the podcast how it’s what you
teach them and then once it’s a certain goal then they’re gone and they’re on their own. But this to me, Tom, it it it
couldn’t stop any like they should go back and get rid of those type of things because that’s what it’s doing.
Well, and so you it’s funny is Kathleen Kennedy stepping away end of the year. She’s the one responsible for a lot of
this woke stuff. She’s the one that every movie lesbian all the stuff that they need to have. So there was conference calls where a couple of the
employees called her out and they got in trouble. But keep in mind Snoop when he said he’s anti-Trump. He was in 2017 when he said
stuff about him, but in 2024 in an interview he did, he said, “I got nothing but love for Trump.” So, I think he switched and he’s
now a Trump guy. And believe it or not, Snoop’s a family guy. He’s still with the same girl he was before. You know,
he says, “One of my biggest strengths is the fact that I’m married to the same woman. He’s been with the same wife I don’t know how many years.” Yeah, there
it is. He’s got nothing but love uh uh for Trump. He He ain’t done nothing wrong to me, and he has done only great
things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris. So, this is Snoop. Now,
the challenge with uh uh this mindset as you’re going through it is now you’re
getting some of the people that generally would have supported that to say, “Dude, just stop with this
ridiculous stuff already. It’s too much. Leave us alone. Let us just go to the movies and enjoy ourselves.” Nope. They
can’t help themselves. I think bad ideas have consequences and they’re paying a price right now where guys like Snoop
are talking about it. Like, when would you have thought Snoop would have said something like this? He wants to live his life. Tom, your thoughts on this. I
know you’re a big Snoop guy, so just No, no, no. You know what? So, this is, you know, forget that it’s
Snoop for a minute. When you go to a movie, um, and you just want to sit at a
movie and you’re watching it with your kids, you don’t want to have to decode things. Yeah. You know, you just want to go to a
movie. And that’s what Snoop is talking about. You can go to whatever movies or anything like this. But I think if
you’re doing movies for kids, you know, remember one person’s grooming is another person’s, oh, we’re just
recognizing society and we’re normalizing. So that that’s the two sides of it and that’s the argument it’s going to make.
The artistic liberal side’s going to say we’re just representing everyone. And the other side’s going to say, “No,
you’re kind of grooming and you’re you’re kind of um you know, you’re trying to normalize it in the mind of my
child, which is a grooming act for my child.” And you’ll say you’re just normalizing it for all of society and
all of society is repressed and that’s your argument. And then along comes Snoop. And you know what’s funny? You
know, you could have all kinds of people here. Hispanic father, very masculine, white father, white mom. You know, guess
what? All of a sudden, Snoop, who comes from the artistic side, says something about it and it gets
traction. And guess what? Do they call him Do they call him bigoted? Do they call him
discriminatory against gays? No. Because he comes from their side and they don’t know what to do with us.
You know what’s crazy? You know what’s crazy with this, Vinnie? Is I think you guys were doing something on unusual suspect. And you know, you guys were
talking about Pete Budach, which is very weird. The one thing about black men, they may not say stuff, but numbers
speak louder than whatever they say on a podcast or not say on a podcast. Here’s Pete Budajage. Numbers came out. Rob,
can you just take can you go on chat GBT and ask the ask the following question?
Say, is it true that Pete Budajage got no support from
black men? Just type this up. And by the way, I’m not talking personal life. I’m talking like elections. So, did he get no
support from black men? No, I’m not being funny. Maybe he did hang out with a black guy. I don’t know. So, in June
of 2025 poll, 0% support for black from black voters. This guy’s a liberal. They
should support him. A June 2025 Emerson College national poll indicated that zero% of black respondents said that
support Pete Budachage for the Democratic nomination, not just black men, but black voters overall. The
report stressed this wasn’t within the margin of error. It was quite literally zero. Zero.
The beard growing a beard didn’t work. Huh? Can you imagine this? Zero. So I I don’t
know. I mean, you know, specifically amongst black male voters, I don’t know
if that’s their space that they’re in. So, he’s like, “Just leave me alone.” Adam, your thoughts on this? I mean, when you lose Snoop Dogg, that
is a telltale sign you’re losing the male vote. Whether it’s the black vote, whether it’s a Latino vote, whether it’s
any type of dude. Snoop represents the average guy that’s just like, “What the hell is going on here?” If you know
anything about Snoop, here’s a guy that’s basically focusing on his money, minding his business, like my money, on my mind, on my mind, on my money. doing
his own thing, rolling down the street, sipping on Jin and Juice, doing nothing but a G thing. And all of a sudden,
Buzz Lightyear shows up and you got lesbian couples adopting kids, and he’s like, “What the hell is going on here?”
10 years ago when Trump was elected, you could probably find the clip. Snoop is like, “All you crack uh Uncle Tom, he
went all the he went in on black people.” 10 years later, he’s at the inauguration. What’s up, Trump? That’s
my dog. Snoop. Whoa. Whoa. Represents the average man who’s like, “What the hell
is going on here in America? When you lose Snoop, you’re losing the average man.” And uh Snoop ain’t have it
anymore. And I just think it’s ridic like over since 2019, they’ve lost Disney 11 billion. And I get it. This
was a 2022 movie. But the question is like like what was the goal that like
like thank God thank God people have woken up and I think Trump played a big part. But what was the goal, Tom?
pushing that agenda because Tom, if we go one man’s one man’s normalization is
another man’s grooming. I think so. And they live in the echo chamber of liberal thought. Look at what they look at the
Academy Awards. Look at the Emmy Awards. What do they used to call it? There used to be an an acronym for it. Oscar, Emmy,
Tony, Grammy, whatever it was. And look at the award shows and look at
what they’re celebrating. They’re celebrating progressive life and they’re bringing all that progressive life into
all their artistic expression, which is their music, their cinema, their stage
and and TV, you know, Oscar Tony. I mean, that’s what they’re doing. And to
them, they’re trying to normalize it. I’m going to take devil’s advocate and say, “Hey, you know what? I’m a gay
woman in Hollywood. I’m just trying to normalize my life. I’m not over the
top.” Remember Norm McDonald Saturday Night Live? It was very very it was kind of funny. Um and it was controversial at
the time where he held up he said well this week she might finally made it official cover of time magazine
Ellen DeGeneres comes out and says yes I’m gay. In a related story trying to
keep up he says exercise king Richard Simmons came out and said yes I’m really
really really really really really gay. And so, and everybody was upset with Nor
McDonald. How can you do that? Why are you picking on him? I wasn’t picking on him. I made an obvious joke because he
was so out with with everything. So, in their echo chamber and they’re there, they think they’re just presenting
normalized people that are part of society. I disagree, but that’s where they are.
Here’s Stephen A. Smith on Bill Maher when he’s asked about it. Go ahead, Rob. Democratic primary voters, 16% would
support Buddha Judge. That’s the highest of any candidate. Pete Buddha Judge. I don’t believe it. I think that I think
that’s just a poll number. I can’t see that happening. Well, okay, but wait. 16%. Black voters. Zero. Zero. You don’t
usually see zero anywhere. Zero is low. For who?
For Buddha Jet. Explain that. I mean, why why do black voters have this? I
mean, he’s a nice guy. Yeah, he’s under indexing a little bit with the black voters. Yeah, a little. What is that all about?
He doesn’t move us. [Applause]
I respect the man. I’ve interviewed him before. Very nice man. Highly intelligent. But you got to be able to
move us, bro. He done move us. He ain’t Trump. You can’t speculate as to why that is.
I’m not going there. He doesn’t move us. He’s basically saying the black
community isn’t voting for gay Cracker Barrel and it is what it is. How many times did you
hear Trump in a rap song? You don’t hear Mitt Romney in a rap song. You hear gay Mitt Romney in a rap song. The black
community wants to resonate with somebody that moves is not gay. This is Pete Buddha. I know, but that’s the regular cracker.
It’s kind of hard like if you can’t really say the last like the the What are the odds that he’s a gay guy and the
word but Oh, you’re trying to do that. going to judge his booty. No, I’m not. Man, don’t do that. By the way, to for what it’s worth, let
me tell you this, and I’m and I’m being as honest as possible, and it’s not your fault. I’m not doing that.
If if Kamala could speak like Pete, she would have had a better chance. I agree. I agree. If Biden would have spoke like Pete,
Pete speaks so eloquently. He is so talented with the way most of the time.
So talented the way he speaks. But guess what? America’s just not ready for something like that today. He needs to start using his S’s a little more.
He’s the alpha. He’s the alpha in the relationship. Let me go to this next relation. Let me tell you guys what the next one.
Okay. Um, so the next story I want to go to is Manny fails at a bench press while
trying to show off at a men’s day in Brooklyn as Cuomo Adams roast the the
rival. So watch this. This is Ramdani. I thought he was trying to bench two plates, but no, he’s out there doing
what? He’s benching a plate, which is 135 pounds. That’s a 35. That’s not a 45. Are you joking? Those are Look, once Robbie
plays it, Pat, you know, tell me that that’s not a 45. It says it says 135 lbs. So 135 lbs is a
45. I don’t believe it. Well, that’s a different thing you want to question. I’m just saying that’s what it is. And the bar is 40, right?
And then, by the way, and the bar is 45. And then uh Scott Adams goes out there
and does the same thing. He says 64 versus 33. Who knows? Maybe afterwards we’ll go do bench press, all four of us,
and we’ll even include Rob. And it will post it only in the PBD podcast circle. Some of you guys can
just go watch it, you know, for yourself and just comment on it. But go ahead. Go ahead, Rob. Show us this clip.
So Pat, you look from the size. Pat, that’s not a 45. Z. That’s a 45. No, I didn’t see. Look at the thickness. It’s 45.
Somebody would have pointed up. No one said it’s 35 so far. Maybe you’re right. I don’t know. 35. Yeah.
Look, he doesn’t even know how to look at. He can’t like How do I grab it? Too close. He doesn’t have the line straight. Oh,
that’s bad. Wow. He’s never gone to the gym. This is a bad look. This is like Dukakus getting
in a tank. See, look. Look. He’s Look, the guy The guy curls it. The guy
curls it up. Let me get one more. Let me get Look, look. Look. He’s his leg. He can’t even do it. Let me get three.
You’re not getting three.
powerful. Do you have Mayor Adams, Rob? Uh, have you seen that one? Would Mayor Adams gets up
there and what he does? So, he’s 63. And how does Cuomo respond to it? Apparently, Andrew also responded to it in a certain way. I I I’ve not seen that
one, but he looks like a guy that could probably bench a couple. Yeah, that’s not the one. Uh, just go to Mayor Adams
right there. Watch this. He says 63 versus 53. He’s the one on the left. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go.
Yeah. Why are they even touching the ball? I know. Get off. You got I be like, “Yo, get off the ball.”
So, by the way, go to his account. He’s doing this. You know how many views that got on his account? How many views? 6.7 million.
That’s good. He’s getting some traction because Adams is not a big Twitter guy. I think he’s only got like 100,000 followers. Go up on his account, Rob.
I’m How many followers he’s got? Yeah, 112,000 followers. Go to Mani’s account. What would you say? Do you have a
ticket? I’m going to put him at 550, 600. He’s exploded. Mani’s at 600. Exactly.
Where’s Andrew Como? Andrew Como should be in the millions, but it’s not because of today. It’s because of um
where he was at before. If you go to that Andrew Como, oh my god, that’s terrible.
That just tell by the way, do you remember when Mike Pence, Vive, all of these guys were running? How I brought
Vive up when I had him at the office? Uh when I had him at the other place, you said his Twitter was blowing up. It was 10,000 people.
Everybody’s plus minus on their Twitter account. The only candidate that lost followers was Mike Pence. No one was
even close on the way Viv had grown on Twitter followership. So here’s a question, Tom. How many times can you
bench press 135 pounds? This Vinnie, how many times
if and we’re going to record this and do this after. We’re going to do right afterwards. We’re going to put on our podcast soon. I’m going to uh
How many times can you do it? So So and that, by the way, I’m telling you right now, those are 35 lb plates. I’m not I I I put money on it. 35.
Well, we’ll do 135. 145. 135. 135. I will do
20 in a row. Okay, Adam. But no spot. No spot. I haven’t uh done uh put What do we 135
lbs bench with no spot? I’m going to do one more than Vinnie and 50 more than Tom.
Tom, how many can you do? One if he’s lucky. We have to do it. We have to. Okay,
we have I’m going to do it in a Tom, can you do you think Tom can do one? We can do Of course he can one.
I don’t know. Yes. By the way, I got money on You don’t believe in Tom? No, no, it’s not that. Listen, 135. He weighs 135.
I’m tell Dude, the first day I went into the gym, it’s not a pocket protector contest. Barely do the bar. It’s It’s your body.
If you’re not accustomed to doing it, it could be Aqua, but we’ll spot Tom and we’ll see what Tom will do. You know who’s the strongest? Hombberto
has got ax strength. This guy’s a freaking machine. What we are going to do is I’m just playing with you. Tom’s the
strongest guy here. He’s He’s going to bang out 50 of them. Yeah, we are. We are definitely going to What happened to Rob, by the way? Just
I think he quit. Rob went to go work out. He’s doing his Where did you go, buddy? Okay, got it.
Where did you go impersonation? So, Rob, let’s Can you put up Can you put up the circle QR code? Put up the
circle QR code, guys. Right afterwards, go download the PBD podcast circle. You’ll get all the
notes. There’s a premium model to it where you can only see what we’re talking about, but you can’t comment or do anything. Right afterwards, we’re
gonna go in our gym in these outfits and we’re gonna test to see how much everybody benches. And so, by the way, you notice how
somebody was spotting him. That’s a typical socialist. Somebody else was doing all the work and he’s taking the credit for it. And by the way, he turned
33 years old yesterday. You know how strong were we when we were Maman? He turned 33 yesterday. And you know, I
realized what’s that saying that Adam says a lot? Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good
times create weak men and weak men create hard times. Well, guess what? That weak guy is about to create some
hard times for New York. And it’s coming, baby. It’s coming. Eric Adams.
If it was a push-up contest, he’d win the election. Uh, unfortunately, it is a giveaway
contest and he’s not going to win. You’re not wrong when it comes down to that. All right, let’s go to Vance
reveals what Putin has conceded in Ukraine peace deal negotiations with
Trump. Uh, Rob, is that the clip? Okay, go for it. I didn’t say they conceded on
everything, but what they have conceded is the recognition that Ukraine will have territorial integrity after the
war. They’ve recognized that they’re not going to be able to install a puppet regime in Kiev. That was, of course, a
major demand at the beginning. And importantly, they’ve acknowledged that there is going to be some security guarantee to the territorial integrity
of Ukraine. Again, have they made every concession? Of course they haven’t. Should they have started the war? Of
course they haven’t. But we’re making progress, Kristen. And what I I I admire about the president in this moment is
he’s not asking three and a half years ago. He’s not, you know, trying to focus on every nitpicky detail of how this
thing started 3 and 1/2 years ago. He’s trying to focus on the nitpicky details of now, of what do the parties disagree
on, what do they agree on, and how do you build a foundation from one side of that ledger to the other so you can stop
the killing. Tom. Well, I love JD Vance and there’s a part of this where he absolutely toasted her.
What was the the thing we saw? You know, where a fifth grader could understand it,
right? Yep. Where exactly is the pressure on Russia to do anything if you’re not right now
imposing new sanctions? How do you get them to a place of getting to the table with Zilinski and stopping to drop
bombs? Well, Kristen, I I think that question betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of where we are. The president has
applied aggressive economic leverage, for example, the secondary tariffs on India to try to make it harder for the
Russians to get rich from their oil economy. He’s tried to make it clear that Russia can be reinvited into the
world economy if they stop the killing. But they’re going to continue to be isolated if they don’t stop the killing.
The president has applied more economic pressure to the Russians to stop this war than Biden did in 3 years. So, so
the idea that we’re not doing anything, we’re already doing things right now. And this is how negotiation works. You
do something, you talk to the parties, you try to see if there’s a meeting of minds. Again, we believe we’ve already
seen some significant concessions from both sides just in the last few weeks. We’re going to eventually be successful
or we’ll hit a brick wall. And if we hit a brick wall, then we’re going to continue this process of negotiation, of
applying leverage. This is the energetic diplomacy that’s going to bring this war to a close.
have a nice day. I mean, Charlie Kirk came out and says, “Can you believe that our vice president was having to speak
to Kristen Welker like he’s talking to a fifth grader?” Um, and I agree with that sentiment. You know, she came in just
like the media comes in. It’s the old phrase about, you know, you you walk into the courtroom, you look at the
judge, and you can all in the old days, you could always already tell the judge is staring at you saying, “Okay, I’m
cooked, right? This is already over. We might as well not even have my trial.” And so you you have Christian Welker
coming in with the angle, “Oh, you’re so wrong. You could be doing sanctions doing that.” Look at it. All they care
about is Trump being wrong. They don’t care about the people of Ukraine. They don’t care about ending the war. All
they care about is Trump being wrong. Number one. And number two, they’ve also got this, it’s kind of funny. You have
to look at it with sober eyes, Pat, and and realize that the Dems have become
the party of war and the liberal side has become the party of war. And that’s and to me, it’s like they’re not
listening to rational thought. I mean, other places um in that interview, it
was a longer interview, JD Vance pointed out, he says, Kristen, at the end of World War I, it ended with a
negotiation. At the end of World War II, it ended with a negotiation. All except that was there was the whole pot stam
conference right all except in the Pacific after two atomic weapons first time weapons like that have been used on
civilian/military targets ever you know Japan was sitting there on the on the USS Missouri sitting
there just saying just what do I got to sign we got to get out of this we’re done and so they surrendered everything
else you know Hitler takes his own life if you believe that’s the way it happened Mussolini is gutted in the
public square in a horrific graphic circumstances. But then guess what? The
US, the Soviets, and the Brits get together and negotiate the end of World War II.
All the major wars end with negotiations. And that’s where we are right now. And we have gotten a major
major thing. Remember, one of the key spark points was Russia, I do not want
NATO country on my front line and I do not want that. And the Warhawks um yeah
um Nikki Haley and others wanted that to happen. They wanted to dare the Russians. They wanted to poke them.
Well, guess what? So, one of the things he didn’t want was that. But now you’ve
got Putin saying, “Look, I understand some security guarantees are going to be part of this.” Do you hear what that is?
That’s Putin saying, “Yeah, I get it. So, if we if we stop this war, you don’t want it to happen again. security
guarantees will be out there with NATO countries and United States. That’s a
movement for Putin if exactly what uh Vance said is correct. But why would Vance say something incorrect like that
and jeopardize negotiation? Putin say, “Wait a minute. What’s he saying this on a Sunday news show? I didn’t say that.”
And so I I think we’re headed in the right direction. And it’s our liberal media once again, you know, Trump wrong,
Trump bad. So, uh, our friend Kristen Welker interviewed not only JD Vance, but also
Sergey Labro. And if you don’t know who that guy is, he’s been Putin’s spokesman
for decades now. Uh, this guy is classically trained KGB. Like, he he’s
running circles around anyone who interviews him. And he kind of gives this like air of diplomacy, but when
you’re not looking, this guy will rip your heart out in an instant. He’s the guy that Putin trusts the most. So, he
and JD Vance were on. Meet the Press uh this past Sunday. Obviously, not on together. Uh here’s what I took away
from Sergey Labrov’s interview. Uh Russia’s not ending this war anytime
soon. We had this conversation. We’re a week uh 10 days past Putin flying in and
doing the whole B2 bomber thing and there’s been zero uh ceasefire since. I
said there was a 99% chance that no deal would be reached anytime soon. People looked at me like I was crazy. Nothing’s
been done. If anything, soon as the meeting was done, Russia went on attacking Ukraine. This war continues to
go on. They firmly believe the Russians that Ukraine is just part of Russia. That’s that US is trying to be a
mediator here and we’ll see what happens. But uh they want to install a Putin puppet in Ukraine and we’ll see
what happens with uh Zalinski. As far as JD Vance, just a little quick take, JD Vance is basically the straight Pete
Buddhajedge. Uh I like JD Vance. I would vote for JD Vance. I think he’s logical.
I think he’s pragmatic. I think he’s sharp. I think he’s a great vice president. But if it comes time for him
to run in 2028 as Stephen A. Smith, he doesn’t move us. There’s not a lot of
oomph there. There’s not a lot of uh Jenna Qua. He don’t resonite resonate with the people. So, we’ll see what
happens with JD. Looks like he doesn’t move who? The black people, the the minorities, the black Jewish people, people with swag. Exactly. Exactly.
People who need to be resonated. Exactly. Thank you for that. You know, the Wats like Tom would vote for him, but people
with swag, I don’t know if they’re going to vote for JD Vance. So, he is the straight Pete. We’re gonna
see what happens about, you know, we can go back and forth on certain things, but on the racial stuff, man, that you just piss me off when you do that.
this white-on-white crime right now. It is. Is that what’s happening? So, can we distract it with a with a quick lav
rev? Okay, Rob, play this clip just for the first 45 seconds. Tom just snapped. That’s By the way, Tom, look at me. Keep
that mindset before you bench. We need that mindset before you bench. Go ahead, Rob. Go ahead, Rob. Go ahead.
Bottom line. Bottom line. There’s no meeting. President Putin said clearly that he is ready to meet provided this
meeting is really going to have an agenda, presidential agenda.
So that’s a big if. There’s no meeting planned, Mr. Foreign Minister. That’s a big if. You’re saying there’s no meeting
planned right now. Christian, I I am awfully sorry you’re not listening. There is no meeting
planned and I am not challenging this. But you you cannot uh cannot I think understand
what I am saying. Putin is ready to meet with Zilinski
when the agenda would be ready for for a summit
because this agenda is not ready at all. President Trump suggested uh after
Anchorage several points which we share and on some of them we agreed to be to
show some flexibility. Okay. When President Trump brought those those said no to everything
to the meeting in Washington uh with Zalinski present together with his
European sponsors. He clearly indicated, it was very clear to everybody that
there are several principles which Washington believes uh must be accepted
including no NATO membership, including the uh discussion of
territorial uh issues and Zalinski said no to everything. He even said no to, as I
said, uh to cancelling legislation prohibiting the Russian language. How
can we meet with a person who is uh pretending to be a leader?
Okay, so there you go. So, you’re hearing it from him. It was a 58minute interview. Uh we’ll follow up more on
this on the next uh podcast that we’re having on Wednesday. Uh gang, again, if
you want to watch the bench press for Tom, I think everybody wants to see Tom. That’s really what everybody wants to
see. If you want to see that, go download circles. Go to the PD podcast circle. Uh
you have tiers. The lowest one is premium. Just go sign up to be able to see. You can’t comment. Come join us.
We’re about to go see who can bench the most. God bless everybody. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
