If the owner of Nashville Club, I can't name it the club.
But if this owner of this club finds footage of me dancing in 1998, 1999, it is going to be one of the best.
If he has this footage, I'm looking forward.
It's probably on a beta tape tucked away somewhere.
Connections.
Nashville, Tennessee, 1997, 99.
Poly Esther pants, polyester shirt, the whole bell bottoms, the whole look, you know, was so it was.
This wasn't spontaneous.
You went there ready to do that.
Intentional.
That was intentional.
In 1998, you're rocking bell bottom.
1999.
I'm rocking bell bottom.
But what time does the dance start?
Like 11, 12?
It would start probably 12 o'clock at midnight.
You're in bed by then, bro.
Let the party be.
He listens to wham rap.
Just because I knew that's all.
It's a wham rap.
I knew a couple lines.
So I think the podcast has started.
Welcome to episode number 30.
Okay, we've made it.
Let's get dance.
All right, good.
And we got a lot of different things that happened in the last couple of days to cover here.
I'm tired, man.
I had a late night.
You have a late night?
Late night.
Yesterday, you and Tom had a conversation together about what percentage he is at with Trump still being able to be president.
And you said, what?
You're still at 0%.
Can I go less than 0?
Can you go less than 0?
Tom, Tom's numbers are going up somehow.
A little bit.
He's still there.
I mean, he just released a great tape last night.
41%.
It's gone from 33 to 38 to 41, which is significantly below 50%.
I'm not saying he's going to do it.
But it's still.
Are you getting more optimistic?
Not too much, but it's a small.
I mean, Christmas is coming.
It might be a great gift for the world.
By the way, thumbs up if he has any chance.
Thumbs down if Biden's going to be the next president.
Just real quick.
I mean, thumbs up.
He's going to be president.
Thumbs down.
Biden's got it.
I'm putting a thumb up just because I like this show.
But hey, how about the fact that Biden is already injured?
I mean, the dude is so fragile.
He was the greatest shooters around.
He got injured.
And Lefty Obama.
All right, so let me tell you what topics we got here today.
Salesforce confirms a deal to buy Slack for $27.7 billion.
By the way, Slack.
Who knows Slack?
We know Slack.
We use Slack every day.
But Slack for $27.7 billion.
Obama made a comment about defunding the police, which we'll talk about and we'll watch here in a minute.
Trump potentially about pardoning himself, which we'll debate that a little bit.
Have some fun with that.
Salesforce Mark Benny Hoff becomes a top deal maker, seizing the crown from his former boss, the one and only legendary Larry Ellison.
We got some stories with Under Armour and Steph Curry, whether that's going to work out or not.
Another big company leaving California for Texas.
Hugh Packard leaves California for Texas.
In headquarters, jump.
We'll talk about that.
Elon Musk thinks within the next six years, we can have life in Mars.
And Tom has strong opinions about that.
You're there.
You're going.
We'll see what he's going to say.
Musk had some comments to his employees.
Walmart is dropping their shipping.
All the Bitcoin community.
If you are in the Bitcoin community and your plans are to one day be a millionaire and get rich with Bitcoin community, one announcement today is going to fire you up.
You know the announcement.
That's going to be stumbled right there.
That's a big one, right?
You almost called it BitchCoin.
You would call it a Bitch Coin.
Where are all my BitchCoins at?
Yeah, I mean, that's 22 years ago.
Okay, so, all right, so Walmart Visa, BlackBerry record spikes, you know, 65% after their deal.
And Blackberry, I felt like it was gone, but it's coming back.
We'll talk about NASDAQ Seek's board diversity rule similar to Germany, which we will see.
Did I miss one?
Oh, predictions.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got a prediction.
Tom's got a strong prediction about Melania, and Adam's got a prediction.
Matter of fact, we'll get to that here in a minute.
Let me just give a couple other things.
And then we have Barr made a comment about there's no voter fraud, which I'm sure Adam's got a lot of exciting things to add on that one.
So does Kai.
And then Tossi Gabbard believes we should pardon.
No business, man.
What are you talking about?
Gabbard.
Pardon Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.
And Rand Paul went at it again.
And by far, we have a story that is the number one trending story in business insider yesterday.
That's why I'm so tired today, by the way.
Yeah, by the way, that story makes no sense when you read it the first time.
It sounded like a spoof when you guys first told me.
I thought it was a joke.
But it's a real story on what happened.
But first, let's get into this prediction, Adam, that you have saying that he's saying 41% Trump's going to win.
You're saying 0%, maybe negative.
But your prediction is you're predicting that Melania Trump may leave Trump.
I'm just while we're in the prediction game, while we're doing the Nostradamus stuff.
I mean, clearly, Tom just throwing out anything.
His numbers are going higher somehow.
That's data.
That's not throwing out.
Trump stopped throwing up a little bit.
Why not?
As all these states, all these states start to certify Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania.
Now, I'm getting there.
You're like, oh, I like this.
I like that Biden's winning these states.
I'm going higher on Trump.
I respect for going down with the shit, man.
I respect.
No life jacket.
Here's my prediction.
You think Melania's marriage?
I got two predictions.
I got two predictions.
I did some.
And I'm not just pulling this out of my ass.
I said, all right, how long has Trump been married before?
How long has Trump been married?
How long was he married to Ivana Trump?
Yeah.
How long?
What's the number?
The numbers, 15 years.
Okay.
Number's 15 years.
She's obviously the mom of Don Jr., Ivana, and Eric, right?
Three beautiful, beautiful children, except for Eric.
He's a little goofy in the face.
Then you got his second wife, Marlon Maples.
How long were they married for?
Four years.
Six years, Tom.
I like that.
Took the under.
All right.
Give Trump a little respect.
A little longer than six years.
They had a kid called Tiffany.
You know, a little longer.
Seven.
No prediction.
Seven.
Melania, how long have they been married now?
15.
15 years.
So the track record has not lasted longer than 15 years.
If I had to make a prediction, what would happen first?
Let's ask the audience here.
What would happen first?
Melania leaves Trump or Kamala Harris becomes president for Joe Biden?
What would happen first?
Basically, you're saying, you know, in the next four years, Kamala is going to step in for Biden, or Melania says, look, enough enough of this guy.
Are you going to make a damn prediction?
Are you just going to do foreplay for freaking give us your answer?
I just pause at this moment.
What is going on?
I predict.
If you've been watching Melania videos all night, Melania is 50 years old.
Okay.
She's 50.
You're what?
Don is, I'm 39 and a half.
Okay.
Melania is 74.
Trump is 74.
24 years' age difference.
Looks great for a 74-year-old.
She looks great for a 50-year-old.
Well, she looks great for a 50-year-old.
I won't back up whatever you just said about Trump looking great.
He looks kind of orange to me.
My prediction is one dust is all settled.
Breaking news, guys.
Trump's probably not going to be the president come January 20th.
I don't want to break your heart, Tom.
But my guess, my prediction is Melania is saying, look, enough enough of this clown show.
I'm out.
Wow.
I don't even know what his answer is now.
So your prediction is she's leaving him.
I'm saying yes, but I posed it with what would be most likely to happen.
Yeah.
Kamala ends up becoming president because Joe Biden, you know, or I'm going with Melania.
Here, can I make one quick prediction?
Yeah, I predict that if you look at Adam's value tame and contract, he's paid by the word for the podcast.
Yeah, right?
I mean, I went there.
I like it.
They are going to go separate ways.
There is no way they are staying together.
Don't you think that they have an agreement?
There is something.
I agree with you.
I think they're done.
I really truly think that they're going to go their separate ways because Donald's not going to give up the politics.
He's already said he's going to start campaigning already right away.
You think she wants four more years of that garbage?
She had some sort of deal in place where I will stick with you through one or two terms.
I will be a great first lady because she was.
She was a and is and continued will be 41% for the next four years.
She still will be.
But I think, I think, you know, she, the age difference, I think, you know, she's done her time.
I think 15 years with Trump is sort of like 70 years with a normal husband.
I mean, that's a long time.
That's a lot of time.
Stop.
You're coming out.
I'm not out of time.
I'm not nowhere top.
Holy moly.
But I'm not ripping them.
I'm just saying, you know, they ran the course of a relationship.
And I think they have two different fires driving them and burning for them.
And I think they're going to go separately.
Did you see that coming?
You want to give each other a hug?
Like you want to.
You look like you're ready.
Let me get half that stuff.
Okay.
So both of you guys are thinking it's over.
I do.
I really.
That's my prediction.
Okay.
Yes.
Now, okay.
So both of you guys are thinking it's going to be over with.
So how quickly do you think that's going to happen?
Is it like, oh, let's just say he's done.
He's out.
How much longer until she says, listen, we're done with this.
I got to move on.
I think it's very low-key.
I don't think she goes to Mar-a-Lago.
I don't know.
I think there's going to be something.
Maybe she goes to Florida because what's there to go back to New York for right now?
But I think he goes back to Mar-a-Lago.
Is it a public divorce?
I don't think so.
I think she's too classy.
I don't think they want to make this.
So it will not be a divorce.
It's just married, but different lives.
I think they're definitely going to go separate ways.
But I think eventually.
Let me think about that more.
I don't know if they're going to go through the divorce.
How crude can I get right now?
Go as crude as you want to get.
I just don't think he's hitting it at all.
I don't think he's given two shits about Melania in the bedroom.
She's hot.
She's 50.
She's still got some drive left.
I mean, she's been dealing with Trump's nonsense for a solid five years.
I don't think after all his tweeting and being up early, I don't think he's showing her any love.
I really don't.
So I think some like hot pool boy is going to come around Mar-a-Lago.
It's not like Donald Trump isn't wanting to have some relationships in the best.
I would say she's the one that's saying it's not going to happen.
Right.
If they're not sleeping together or whatever you're implying, I don't think so.
Meaning, yeah, she's like, Yeah, I just, I don't, I don't.
By the way, let me ask you: if you're watching this, if you're watching this yourself, what do you think?
Do you think this is going up?
I'm actually really curious.
Do you think this is even a topic?
Like, do you think they're going to stay together or not?
Because if go to the go to the last president whose wife remarried to another man, who was it?
Jackie Kennedy.
She remarried to Onassis.
Onassis, yeah.
But she went with Onassis.
If you remember, one time there's a story.
I interviewed Clint Hill, who was her secret service for many years.
And Clint Hill wrote a book called Jackie and I, or something like that.
What's the book called?
And it was four or five presidents.
He was a secret service to four or five presidents.
Okay, Clint Hill.
He's the guy that jumped on the top of the car when Kennedy got assassinated.
You see the video of the guy that jumps up with that's that guy.
And the video's got like five, six million views.
Oh my gosh.
It's a fascinating interview.
Miss Kennedy and I. Miss Kennedy.
It was like a voice of God came out of nowhere.
So we sit there, we're talking, and there was an incident that happened.
The incident was, I think, John F. Kennedy got caught with Marilyn, and it became too public.
And when it became public, she was very embarrassed.
And she said, you have to let me go a week spent with Onassis on his yacht.
She went.
By the way, she went and spent a week on this.
And by the way, you can pull this up, and this is not the, you know, yeah, you can pull up.
That's the dude that Melania is going to start running away with.
Just to show you how to do it.
Who's that hot, it looks like?
Tom Zenner with Melania.
How many years ago?
That's got to be at least 15 years ago.
No, that was like 2014.
Oh, six years ago.
Okay, yeah.
So, so, but let me.
She looks like the original wife in The Wedding Singer.
By the way, if you got to look at the wedding singer, you didn't know that?
That's Melania's Christmas coming scarf.
The wedding singer.
So watch what happened.
So she goes and spends time with Onasis.
And if you remember Onassis, Aristotle Onassis, the guy was a playboy.
He was a money guy.
He was a flamboyant guy.
And she was just sick of it with John F. Kenny.
Every day there was a new story with women.
And it was almost becoming public.
Women were coming into the White House.
He got caught left and right.
He got caught.
It was just like embarrassing her, right?
Is what he was doing.
So she goes and hooks up on Onassis.
After the assassination, they got married.
That's unbelievable.
How long?
That's an unbelievable story.
Oh, it was instantly.
It wasn't even a long time until after they got a, you know, he died where she ended up going over there.
So if that does happen, who is an ideal candidate for Melania?
Clearly, a Tom Zenner.
No, no, no, no.
A candidate.
She has to marry somebody with power.
A type of person.
Who would be somebody?
It has to be.
Like a Larry Ellison.
Like, who do you think?
I say you start with somebody on the billionaire list.
There's no way she downgrades.
I think you'll have to be a billionaire for sure.
I can't see like a Bill Gates.
I just can't see that.
No, no, no, no.
I think, like, dude, there's going to be some, you know, what is she?
Is she Romanian?
Where's she from?
Czech, where's she?
Russian.
No, she's not Russian.
Where's she from?
One of the Russian states.
Country, Kai.
What about Jeff Bezos?
Slovenians.
Why can't you leave the Romanian folks?
No, I love my Romania.
How about Jeff Bezos?
She's Slovenia.
She's Slovenian.
I cannot see that.
You know, there's just some, like, the top guy in Slovenia.
It's like, come back to Papa.
He take care of you.
Some billionaire guy.
I can't see her not being with a guy that doesn't have swagger.
I just can't see it.
Money, swagger, but younger and doper, and she just wants to have some fun.
Like, do you think she's actually legitimate question?
Do you actually think she's having fun being a part of this nonsense in the White House?
No, I don't.
I think she knows what she got herself into.
Listen, when you're marrying somebody like that, guess what?
You know what?
She's not a dummy.
No, no.
She's not a dumb.
Go ahead.
Give your point.
She married Trump.
You're talking about, you know, he's running Miss Universe contests.
He's doing the apprentice.
He's on TV.
It's more fun and games.
Now it's political.
It's very ugly.
It's divisive.
It's not fun.
No, living in Washington, D.C., if you're a Republican, it's not fun.
You know what I think the template for her is, though?
What's that?
Tiger Woods ex-wife.
How she was in a very, very high-profile, scandalous type situation.
She slinkered away.
You never hear from her.
Great word, slinker.
She slinkered away.
And she's living in Florida, living the good life.
That's a Mario Ward.
Who's the one?
Where would you stay under the roof?
Who's she with now?
We don't know.
See, that's the beautiful thing about her.
She's with the sports guy.
By the way, when you mention JFK letting her go on the yacht with Anassis.
I mean, don't we know that never works?
Remember Indecent Proposal?
Of course.
That's a great sea robot.
You would let your wife get on a yacht, a helicopter, anything that flies.
I wouldn't let my wife get on a skateboard with a 19-year-old down the block.
I might not see her again.
She's nobody.
Jordan Cameron, football player.
Ex-football player.
Yeah, right there.
Right there.
If you go to the story.
Yeah, the story popped up right off the bat.
If you type in JFK ordered, JFK, just search this.
JFK lets Jackie go to Onassis.
JFK lets Jackie, Jackie, Jackie go to Onassis.
Great job, Kai.
Shout out to Kai, man.
Let's get him right there.
JFK ordered Secret Service Agent right there.
Okay, go up.
Matter of fact, I think that is my story.
Go up.
Clintal, that's my interview.
Yeah, that's the interview four years ago.
That's exactly what he said.
He let.
Yeah.
That is so crazy.
I didn't even know.
You're in the news a lot these days, by the way, Pat.
Can we talk about that?
Block that Kai or we're not wanting to go to another porn site.
Some Hungarian story is going to pop up here.
Pop up.
You know, Mario Jerry.
25.
Keep going up.
Keep going up.
See if it's a gentleman.
Ordered one of his top secret service agents to make sure his wife did not meet with Aristotle Onas on the secret trip she took to Greece.
Son named Patrick.
Well, that's the whole thing.
When she was griefing over that, she was not happy about it and she needed a break.
Can I bring up a little segue right here?
Yeah.
What did I say I'm upset about this morning?
Snoop.
I'm upset with Snoop, man.
Was his commentary the other night or what?
Oh, the commentary killed it.
Killed it.
So I'm going to give you three quick points.
You said I get paid in words, so it's going to be real quick.
Kills it.
We all went to Pat's house for the fight.
Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., I took Roy Jones Jr. somehow I ended up not losing that bet because I thought he got his ass whooped.
But, you know, I think I still owe you lunch.
However, great commentary.
We're having a great time.
Pat says, man, Snoop is killing it.
Sends out a tweet saying, wow, Snoop should get a contract.
What a great guy.
Snoop takes Pat's tweet, reposts it, repackages it, puts it out there being like, guys, what do you think?
Don't you love this?
Snoop gives zero credit to PPD.
Zero.
Doesn't tag him.
Doesn't say where it came from.
There we are.
There you go.
He's more than a rapper.
He's more rapper.
Go ahead.
Triathlete.
Is that the one?
No, it's not it.
It's not that one.
You sure?
But here's the question.
If someone uses your content, uses your quote, uses...
No, I think that's the one.
Okay.
Oh, here we go.
Here's who won tonight, Snoop Dogg hands down.
Someone signed Snoop Dogg to multi-year contract.
He's a natural commentator.
He's Barkley on steroids.
He's hilarious.
Three years for $15 million.
Who make the call?
And then if he's not going to be able to do that.
And then you tag ASBN and the NTNT.
Go to Snoop's Instagram account.
Snoop Aloop.
Hilarious how this.
Snoop Aloop.
By the way, he posts more than anybody I've ever seen in my life.
46,000 posts.
47,000.
So aggressive.
Go up a little bit, go up a little bit, go up a little bit, go up a little bit.
That's the same exact tweet.
Snoop, hands down.
He's so funny.
He copies like, listen, that's Patrick's caption.
And who likes it?
Who likes it?
Shout out to Phil Heath.
Kai Lude at the bottom.
Kai's liking the – you're selling out, Kai.
What happened, bro?
Hey, you know, Snoop has a guy that follows him, but he has to roll his joints all day, right?
He's got a full-time employee.
I think he pays his business.
Don't talk about my job, bro.
That's the thing that I got to do with him.
He probably just has a Twitter guy, right?
Just doing Twitter.
He probably just has Instagram.
All right.
So here's my question to you.
Here's my question to the audience, right?
So this is a two-pronged question.
What does it feel like when you give a guy a shout-out?
Yo, respect.
You killed it.
You tag him in a, you know, you make it all about him.
He uses your content, gives you no respect, no tag, no appreciation.
How does that feel?
And B, if you're in the audience and you do that and no one repo and you give someone a shout out, and they just cut and paste, don't give you any props, what would you do?
Why don't you go to Yahoo News and type in Snoop?
Type in Yahoo News, Snoop, Bed David.
It's hilarious.
Because who ended up writing about this is a Sports Bible.
I don't know if you follow Sports Bible.
I'm sure you know Sports Bible.
And then Yahoo News does a story on it.
Snoop Dogg, go out the top.
Snoop Dogg prays for commentating skills during Tyson.
This is Tudor Mozart.
On Instagram, Snoop Dogg shared a tweet from Patrick Bay David that praised him as a natural commentator.
Someone cites Snoop on a multi-year contract.
He's a natural comment, etc.
So it goes below.
If you go lower.
Yeah, and you got Stephen A. You got a bunch of other guys.
And you've interviewed Stephen A.
Yeah, Stephen A.
So, what does it feel like when you know me?
Yeah, for you.
I mean, listen, you have to realize I talk about some topics that probably he and his community doesn't support.
And to kind of give love to a guy like me, I'm a little weird for some folks in Hollywood because I can go hip-hop with anybody and you go old school and I can, because that's the community.
After 2003, I don't like any of them.
Not the wham stuff.
Not too old.
Why am I too old?
I don't like room school, right?
So, so for me, I'm there, but I'm also a guy that loves America.
I'm also an immigrant.
I'm also a guy that grew up in a divorce family.
I'm also a business guy.
I'm also a money guy.
So it's a complicated situation to give credit to somebody that may not be someone that's supportive of some of his views.
So I can understand that taking away.
You're saying you're too hot to hold, too cold to handle, right?
I have no idea.
I disagree.
I think you're pissed.
I would be ticked off.
I mean, you're a high-profile person.
There's something called social media etiquette.
I mean, it's 101.
You don't copy and paste someone's high, some high-profile individual's comments and throw it in there.
Give them the shout-out.
Tom has agreed with me twice today.
This is a record, y'all.
You guys are.
And we're going to share that scarf.
We're making history right now.
This is what's happening.
You know who it was?
You know who I got to give respect to?
Tell me.
Real talk.
Shonda, bro.
Here we go.
Your wife, Shonda, she's dope.
Give her some props.
She's great.
She's unbelievable.
So, but what are you giving props?
I'm just saying she's just cool like that.
She is.
Great kid.
I picked the scarf.
So, so the other night, I got to.
But she would not let you eat masters.
I lost $100 the other night to Tom's son.
Did you guys hear about this or not?
I lost $100 to Tom's son.
So Dash, who's one of my favorite kids in the world.
You guys got to meet this kid.
So Dash comes to the house and we're spending some time together.
And I'm seeing videos of him and Avana.
By the way, both of their kids are athletes.
Avana does high jump, what do you call it?
Diving, right?
Wow.
And like USC type of stuff.
Like I'm talking about 10 meters type stuff.
Scholarship type.
Yeah, no joke type of stuff.
You don't got to pay for play.
No, no, no.
She's rejecting.
That's a different story.
Yeah.
So then Dash says, I walk out with him.
He grabs a skateboard.
I'm trying to learn what kind of skateboard he likes.
So he starts showing me tricks.
And he does another trick and another trick and another trick.
And he's like failing at a few of them, but he's making him.
He doesn't stop until he gets it.
So finally, one of them, he does it, he fails.
He does it.
He fails.
He does it.
He fails.
Then he looks at his dad and he says, Dad, if I get this one, 25 bucks.
And he says, Okay.
Then I said, I'll put another 100 on it.
100.
He says, Okay.
You see, he takes a deep breath.
Yeah.
And he pauses for like five seconds.
Then he goes, boom, he hits it.
I have to give the kid $100.
He was the best.
He's got to go into the house and get it.
You know, I told you, Pat, I said as soon as there was money on the line, he was going to get the kids pretty clutch.
Hey, should I show you what he did two days later?
Tell me.
I took him over to Lifetime Fitness and he wanted to shoot some hoops because we can't shoot it all.
So I sent this over to Kai.
So I said, Hey, Dash, show Pat and the VT community here your shot from the top of the key.
This is Dash Zener from the top of the house.
You got to say, How old he is?
He's 11.
Okay, watch this.
Top of the key.
There's Dash.
Damn.
No way.
Look at him.
Swagged out.
Look at that guy, man.
Seriously, super swagged out.
You know, when you're like the older uncle and you're rooting for that one nephew or one niece, he's that knee.
He's that nephew.
You know, you kind of want to see this kid win at the high sleeve.
$125.
So you guys are on the same page with Melania.
That's pretty much it.
Somehow, yeah.
I'm not saying I agree with him.
I'm saying I had that opinion before I heard him.
So let's put away all agree.
Tom, breaking my timeline, though.
Give a timeline.
I think January, you know, look, Trump's going to get way nastier and uglier over the next 30 days.
Like, it's becoming very apparent.
He is out the door.
He's giving all these sort of things.
Is he going to go to the inauguration?
You think he'll show up?
He is way too shallow, petty, and will he show up?
Do you think he'll show up?
Sore loser, bro.
You think he'll show up?
He'll show up at his rally that day.
You think he'll show up?
Yeah, he'll do it.
So let me get this straight.
Do you think he'll show up?
None of you guys think he's going to show up to the inauguration.
No, I do.
Time out.
I'm taking that back.
He will show up.
I mean, come on.
The guy is a true American.
He has respect for protocol in this country.
He realized this.
How much do you want to bet?
How much do you want to bet?
Well, $125.
$125, he doesn't show up.
Let me ask the other question.
Let me ask another question.
$125.
Let me ask the other question.
Let me ask the other question.
Yes, sir.
Here's the other question for you.
Is there even going to be an inauguration?
Because if Biden's camp is all about social distance, how weird of an inauguration is that?
If you have to sit six feet apart, so that means Trump's are going to sit six feet apart from Biden's from Obama's are going to sit six feet apart from Clinton's.
That inauguration is not going to be half a million people showing up.
So is it even going to be an inauguration?
Is it even going to be the same one?
Or will it be a Zoom inauguration?
Will it be a TV inauguration?
It may not be an inauguration that you're thinking about.
It'll be just like one of his rallies where 15 people show up and calls social media.
Why if it's that and he doesn't show up, I don't think it's a big deal.
I think Trump shows up maskless, possibly shirtless.
He don't give a shit, man.
No, he's not going to show up shirtless.
But what I'm trying to say to you is I think it'll have a lot to do with as these cases are going up and everybody's panicking about cases.
I got a call yesterday from a friend of mine who his son works at the ICU in Baltimore.
Jordan, shout out to Jordan.
And shout out to Mehron.
And he called me and says, listen, I just want you to know.
My son told me that the ICU is so packed right now with people with cases.
It's nonstop.
He just dropped me a nice message saying, just don't be a, what's the word he used?
He says, don't be a denier.
He said, Maverick or something like that.
No, no, not the denier.
He said, don't be a maverick.
Don't be this.
Just keep this part of mind that my son works in ICU.
And by the way, this is a pretty conservative guy.
So he's not coming from a place of, you know, there is no politics in his comments, right?
But if the cases are going up and it's real, there is no inauguration because it shows that his messaging, that he's going to come out and he's going to say, I'm the more responsible guy on how to handle COVID.
You can't have an inauguration.
The inauguration is out the window because you're showing a lack of responsibility if you are going to have an inauguration.
So if there is not one and he doesn't show up, I don't think it's a big deal.
I think they could do it without the public, right?
Keep them like put your hand on the Bible, do the thing on TV.
But you also made a really good point that not being an inauguration, because Trump could still win, then there wouldn't be an inauguration.
So good point.
There would actually still be an inauguration, even if he wins, because when you win again, you get inaugurated again.
That's just how it works.
But again, I don't think that's happening.
I think Biden will have a more subdued inauguration, a little social distance.
Not as crazy.
I don't think Biden is there for like the, look at my crowds.
Look how big.
He's just like, look, bro, let's, you know, I got a bad ankle.
Let's just keep this thing moving.
That's what I'm saying.
What I'm trying to say is I don't even, I think this is going to be a very weird.
But I don't think it's going to be a Zoom type of inauguration.
You have to be a local.
You have to be ready for anything this year.
This is a very weird year.
So if you're going to be surprised by inauguration not being the traditional one, you are naive.
This is a very weird year.
He may just come out and do something basic and they leave and boom.
So now the question becomes, do I think on the same exact day Trump will hold a rally?
Here's what I think.
I'll give you my opinion.
Number one, I think he's capable of doing that.
Number two, I think it's not the right thing to do.
I think he's capable of doing that.
I don't think it's the right thing to do.
Will he do it?
I think there's a 70% chance that he would do something like that.
His own rally, you mean?
I don't think it's a good idea to do that.
I don't think it's a good idea for you to do that.
Look, you know, voter fraud, did it happen?
100% it happened.
It happens every single time.
Was there more dissent than the other way around?
100%.
I fully believe it because there was one thing different about this ballot than the other ones, which is what?
A bunch of mail-in ballots.
And you're poised to do voter fraud.
The other day I'm talking to a guy who works for one of the guys that was involved politically in JFK's candidate, JFK's campaign where they did the whole voting stuff and where the guy said what?
The daily said what?
Folks, make sure you go vote and vote often.
Keep voting.
Don't just, you understand?
That was their mantra.
Yeah, that was their mantra.
Keep it.
Early and often.
Early and often, right?
Okay.
So, yes, it happened.
It happened.
Guess what?
Your strategy sucked.
Theirs beat you.
Period.
That's all there is to it.
You lost to a better strategy.
And four years ago, guess what, Hillary Clinton?
Your strategy sucked.
You lost.
His was better.
And you need to go home.
And she went home.
And for the rest of her career, she's talked about what?
She threw Russia at him.
She played games.
She did all that other stuff.
Is Trump going to do to Biden what Hillary did to Trump?
100%.
If you think for a second Trump's going to sit around, he's going to do exactly what Hillary did to Trump.
He's going to do exactly what Obama did to Trump.
He's going to go after Biden.
He's going to go after all those guys.
I don't think that's going to stop.
I just don't think it's a good idea for him to go and hold an event on the same day as inauguration.
I think what it does to the base that he needs.
So becoming a president, he got 74 million votes, which is the most ever by a sitting president.
That's never happened before.
Biden ended up getting 80 million votes, which if you take the mail-in ballots out, that number is probably going to be a lot lower than what it was because mail-in ballots, people send on more ballots on both sides, 74 to 80 million.
What we learned is you ain't going to become a president without flipping the middle.
You're not.
So it's not about your business.
You are not.
Like one of the things Obama said yesterday when he talked about defunding the police, which we'll get into here in a minute, we'll go into the right next.
Obama talks purely strategically.
Everything about Obama is strategic.
There's something to be learned about Obama because what Obama was able to do, he was able to get the independents to say what?
You know what?
I like the way he said that America's about the, it's not about just the Republicans and Democrats and independent America is about Latino community.
America is about blacks.
America's about the white.
America's about suburban.
America's about this.
America's about farmers.
America's about LGBTI.
This is the idea.
He gave that message and independents said, you know what?
I'm just going to vote for this guy.
I'm cool with this guy.
If Trump doesn't play that card, oh, dude, you ain't getting the vote that you need.
I'm just saying.
So strategically, it's not a good strategy.
Okay, and I think that plays into his speech yesterday, this 46-minute speech.
This wasn't a campaign speech.
I personally, in all seriousness, if nothing changes regarding the voter fraud, if there is no proof or this thing doesn't get flipped, I don't think he'll show up at the inauguration.
I'll tell you why, because I don't think he believes this is the same America going forward because of the result of this election.
And if they got away with it once, and if they get that one more Senate seat in Georgia, what they're going to be able to do in the next four years is unbelievable and prevent a guy from Trump from even having a chance of winning an election.
I think that's why that speech he made yesterday, once you get past your hatred of him or anything else about him that bugs you, that's what he was talking about.
And if he went to the inauguration, he'd be conceding the fact that he lost the election.
In his mind, which works a little bit differently, he doesn't believe he did.
He had it stolen from him.
So I don't think he would show up.
And if he's going to run again in 2024, I think he would feel it's a bad precedent for him to go admit failure, admit I lost.
He would ride that wave of four years saying, I never did lose that ballot.
But let me explain this thing to you.
So I'm watching the commentary, right?
And people are saying, you're this, and Trump's going to do this, and you don't understand America's with Trump and America's with this.
I don't disagree that America's not with Trump.
I don't disagree that America's not with Trump.
I also don't disagree that America's also with Biden.
Okay?
You got 80 million, you got 74 million.
I'm very comfortable knowing that America's with a portion of America's with what?
With both sides.
But this is not about that, Tom.
This isn't about you.
And this isn't about you.
This is about who you can convert.
You see, when there's a debate in politics to me, if I walk away and you walk away and you walk away, no one's mind's been changed a little bit by 1%.
It was a waste of a meeting.
But if you walk away and Adam walks away and I walk away and I say, you know what?
Adam had a point about the, you know, when he talked about Biden and he comes out and, you know, and, you know, China tariffs are not really, he's holding it in.
Okay, I mean, that's a good point.
And the, you know, cabinet he chose.
Elizabeth Warren's not in it.
Sanders not in it.
AOC's not in it.
Elon Omar's not in it.
So maybe he is Democratic and left.
Maybe he's not far left.
Maybe it's not that bad.
And he could walk away and say, you know what, maybe Trump's policies are good for business and maybe it benefits me.
The point I'm trying to make to you is it's not about your base.
It's about converting a part of the base that's not your base.
You got to win them over.
How do you win them over?
To win them over, you have to come across united.
You cannot come across as us against the world.
It doesn't work that way.
Not about presidential.
It could work in mayor.
It could work in Senate.
It could work in House.
It could work in governor.
It cannot work with presidency.
You got to win the middle community that says, you seem reasonable enough that you're going to be fair with me and them.
Because they don't like, like, for example, you know, the whole, the last debate Trump did with Biden.
Look at Trump's first debate with Biden.
Look at Trump's last debate with Biden.
Night and day.
Night and day.
He was the first person.
I mean, Trump crushed it on the last debate.
Second one.
Yeah.
First one.
First one was COVID at that point.
I told you he had COVID.
I'm thinking he had COVID.
Trump was a disaster.
Why did America like the second one?
He was going to Biden.
He was composed.
He was measured.
See, that was kind of like, you know what?
This is the guy I want to see.
And then when he got COVID, he said, look, this thing is real.
I have to tell you, it's real.
I've had it.
It's not something.
And, you know, people are like, oh, wow, you know, this guy's got this side.
But then he went back to, let me tell you, you don't convert.
It's about a conversion game.
It's not just your base.
I may be wrong, guys.
I'm just a business guy.
But I think there's a little bit of strategy there that he's got to do better than he's going to be able to do it.
One quick rebuttal.
Just one quick rebuttal.
I think Trump believes he did that.
He won the Hispanic vote.
He dominated that Latino vote in the United States.
What do you mean?
He won the Hispanic vote.
Well, I mean, look.
Tremendous progress.
He did.
But he didn't really well.
We don't know.
He went from 15% to the bottom of the bottom.
He did very well with the Blackboard.
He did very well.
That's a drum.
What are you talking about?
But he didn't win.
Of course it's winning.
It's 33% growth in a community voting for you.
And nobody ever thought they said this guy's not going to win.
But he didn't get more than 50%.
But he did what Pat was referencing is he flipped enough people into the middle that generally would be on the wall.
So, for example, House, Pelosi lost a few seats.
Her own side is saying, I'm not going to vote for it to be the House of Secretary.
You know, what do you call it?
Speaker of the House.
Why?
Dude, you're not flipping me.
I'm not staying with you.
It's about converting a few.
He took a Latino from 15 to 20, and his African-American vote is the highest for Republicans in the world.
12% now.
That's massive.
I know.
That's three times McCain.
Three times McCain.
Correct.
He's done that part, but I just think he had to now flip a little bit of the Independent and he did it.
And one last thing.
I think if you look at that, I think he's holding back information he knows.
He can't say.
I mean, you watch him on that speech yesterday, and it's like he wants to reveal more information of things that he actually knows.
Maybe he could.
He's holding back anything.
Oh, 100%.
I do.
I totally do.
He can't release it all right now.
I respect what you're saying.
I don't think Trump has the capability of holding anything in.
I think he's just going to get out there and say what he wants to say.
The guy right there.
He says, no, Pat, you're wrong.
Biden did not get more votes than Obama.
It has nothing to do with winning the middle.
It's impossible.
I disagree.
I disagree.
Listen, I want you to understand this part.
I do think there is voter fraud.
How many times offline have I told you there was voter fraud?
How many times?
Yes, you've told many times.
Every time I've said my position doesn't change, there was voter fraud.
Do I believe?
He's a voter front in every election.
I get that.
But, bro, Biden's not an 80 million vote guy.
No way.
There's been a lot of people that have been hated by the other side.
Biden's not an 80-million vote guy.
This time around, he wasn't.
There is no way in the world.
There's nothing about Biden that's.
What's his number?
He's a 65 million vote guy.
So you're saying that there was 15 million?
What I'm trying to tell you is he's the base guy.
He needs to get the votes of the base.
The Democrats that are like, I hate the other guy, but he's not an 80 million guy.
He's not, because 80 million means the middle went left.
That's 80 million.
He's not that guy.
Obama is and was.
Obama, Bill Clinton is and was.
Okay?
George Bush, believe it or not, is and was.
Okay?
Reagan, 100%, because Reagan, Carter was not.
He was not popular.
There's nothing about Carter that was popular.
Carter got lucky when he became president.
The timing was perfect for Carter to become president, and he became a one-term president.
But I don't believe the 80 million votes that Biden got is real 80 million votes.
I don't believe that.
But even with that being said, even without all the manipulation that took place, if Barr comes out and says there's no voter fraud, highlight that right now.
You drop.
Highlight what?
No, I'm just saying that's a major thing.
Yeah.
If Barr comes out and says, as of right now, we've not found out.
The Attorney General.
The Attorney General that's a pro-Trump guy.
Pro-Trump, the biggest pro-Trump guy.
I'm giving it to you.
If he comes out, if one state after another state after another state after another state, by the way, even if, let's just say he wins Michigan, it's still above 270 for Biden.
He has to flip three, four states for it to turn.
Again, where I'm going to with you on this is when it happened and everybody said, oh, this is going to go, you know, this many weeks and it's going to be, you know, Trump's going to be able to flip it.
I'm like, dude, we're not talking about one state.
If it was only Arizona, yes.
If it was only Georgia, yes.
If it was only Wisconsin, yes.
If it was only Michigan, yes.
If it was only Pennsylvania, fine, yes.
But we're talking about five states.
Look, you know, you got to go.
And then now Trump yesterday or two days ago says at a party that he's going to come back 2024.
It's a message saying, I can see it if I'm going to come back 2024.
So is there a part of it that he's certain he was cheated out of an election?
I think he was cheated out of an election.
I'm not going to say that.
You think he was actually cheated out of this?
As close as the vote was.
I tell you, my.
It was closer in 2016, though.
I tell you.
Way closer.
I'm telling you, I think voter fraud happened at the highest level.
I think for them to shut down the economy was so strategic.
All I'm curious about is the following.
You know what I'm curious about?
Here's what I want to know.
Oh, my gosh.
You have no idea how bad I want to know this.
I want to know who, like, you know, the other day the video came out with Project Veritas showing that Zucker is going around telling his reporters exactly what to say.
And McAfee's been, not McAfee.
O'Keefe has been on all this conference calls for the last two months.
And have you seen this thing when he calls Zucker and he, you guys haven't seen this?
Yeah, it's good.
Have you seen it?
Why don't you pull up the video?
New stuff got released today.
Yeah, but no, play the video of him on the conference call with Zucker.
You haven't seen this.
I've not seen it.
Okay, this is very awkward.
You got to, okay, this is it.
This is it.
Who's he calling?
Set this up.
Watch this.
You'll see what it does.
So CNN is doing their conference call with all their reporters and everybody.
He got the number to the conference call.
For the last two months, they've recorded every single one of CNN's calls led by CNN's president and CEO.
Jeff Zuckerberg.
And watch what happens.
Press play.
Hey, Jeff Zucker, are you there?
Hey, this is James O'Keefe.
We've been listening to your CNN calls for basically two months, recording everything.
Just wanted to ask you some questions if you have a minute.
Do you still feel you're the most trusted name in news?
Because I have to say, from what I've been hearing on these phone calls, I don't know about that.
I mean, we've got a lot of recordings that indicate you're not really that independent of a journalist.
Okay.
Thank you for your comments.
So everybody, in light of that, I think what we'll do is we'll set up a new system and we'll be back with you.
We'll do the rest of the call a little bit later.
We're going to release those recordings today at 7 o'clock.
So stay tuned.
It's going to be fun.
Thanks, everybody.
Have a good day.
Yeah, you too.
So you just heard me talk to the president of CNN, Jeff Zuckerberg.
They're still listening to him that we are going to release a number of recordings today.
I unmuted myself into the conference line, and they're still on there.
They're listening to me right now.
Okay, stop it at this point.
Stop it at this point.
Okay.
So what were we talking about a minute ago before I went into this?
We're talking about voter fraud.
But what was I talking about after voter fraud?
Bill Barr.
Bill Barr, all these guys that are saying what they're saying.
Okay.
So you got a channel like CNN who gets on a call like this and Zucker tells them what to talk about.
I said to you, I'm interested in one thing.
You know what's the one thing I'm interested in?
Here's what I'm interested in.
I want to know who held that meeting with all the leaders of the Democratic Party and said, here's how we steal the election.
The way you steal the election is by shutting down the economy, bringing out mail-in ballots.
Mail-in ballots are not controlled with voter ID.
This is how we're able to steal it.
This is how we win the election.
Whoever came out with that strategy, that's who has the power.
That's the most influential person in that party.
Who that person is, I don't know if it's Obama.
I don't know if it's Hillary.
I definitely don't think it's Tom Perez.
I want to know who that person is because that's the person that gets credit for this election, not Biden.
It's that person.
So you're wrapping that all up to say it was some strategic thinking, basically saying we're going to shut down the economy.
We're going to do mail-in ballots and we're going to steal this election.
There is no, listen, is it fair to say both sides use propaganda?
Yes.
Is it fair to say Republicans use propaganda?
Democrats use propaganda.
Yes.
Would you agree on that?
Yes.
Yes or no?
Yes.
Okay.
So guess what happens?
Whoever has the better strategy wins.
And you got to give it to them.
The Democrats had a better strategy than the right.
I think politics is a dirty game.
Oh, it's a good idea.
You know, it's probably not a high-profile person.
It was somebody behind the scenes where the genius people are, whoever it was.
It's interesting.
Real quick, Tom.
Is it fair to say that Attorney General William Barr, Bill Barr, has had Trump's back harder than anyone, basically, other than maybe he was just doing his job.
Question.
Has he had his back?
Sure.
So when he comes out and says, look, I would love to tell you otherwise, but we could not find the attorney general.
Yeah.
Leads the Department of Justice.
We could not find any voter fraud that would sway this election.
Is that credible to you?
He said yet.
I mean, that doesn't mean the investigation is over.
It doesn't mean the DLJ is involved now.
But after that moment, because he was probably answering the question for the moment, have you found anything?
And he's saying right now, no.
I only had a three-hour meeting yesterday.
By the way, if you're listening to this and if you think something like that happened behind closed doors, a strategic thing like that happened behind closed doors, push the thumbs up button if you think something happened.
If you think nothing like that happened and it was just lost, push the thumbs down button.
I'm curious to know what you think.
Right now we got 248 to 17.
I'm curious to know what you think.
But going back to what you're saying with Barr, yeah, Barr did say that.
I have another prediction.
Sure, go ahead.
Because where is it getting?
And our friend Tom Ellsworth said this the other day.
Pelosi is my guess.
Good mother said she thinks it's Pelosi.
I don't think she's falling or strictly.
I actually don't think it's Pelosi.
I think it's somebody that's brilliant behind closed doors.
Here's my prediction.
Where is it getting uglier than anywhere right now?
What state?
Where is it getting uglier than anywhere?
It's Georgia.
Georgia?
Yeah.
Getting super ugly.
What is the current, you know, what's going on in the current atmosphere in Georgia right now?
I'll tell you what's going on.
Brian Kemp, who's the governor of Georgia, let's just start there.
He is a lifelong Republican.
He ran on Trump, make America great again.
He put on the red hat.
He is Trump, He came out and basically said, look, we've done the votes.
We've done the recount.
It's a hand recount.
Brace yourself.
Biden won.
Brian Kemp.
So now you have Sidney Powell, Trump's legal team going down there, stirring up the base, getting all sorts of nonsense.
They're basically going out and saying, you can't trust the system.
Don't vote in this election.
I don't know if you've heard that.
She's basically encouraging people not to vote in Georgia.
No.
And yeah.
No, she's not.
Dude, Tom.
Like, we could find her quote right there easily.
She's basically saying you can't trust this.
It's all rigged.
You can't trust it.
Now you have the Republicans.
It's all Republicans in Georgia that run the Congress, the House of Representatives in Georgia.
Have you seen this impassioned speech that the Republican election official made yesterday?
He's basically saying somebody's going to get killed.
You got people showing up basically threatening people.
One of our people at the election officials, Republicans, by the way, end up with the news.
Here's my prediction.
Where's that shirt?
What's your point already, bud?
We got to get that.
If you asked me a week ago, I would say there's no chance that Republicans are not going to at least get one, possibly two of those seats in Georgia.
At this current climate, just be careful how you act.
Be careful what you wish for, because if you keep acting like this, if you keep saying a rigged election, if you keep telling your base not to vote, you can't be trusted, you're going to end up losing two seats in Georgia, and the worst is yet to come.
I'm hoping, and I'm being honest here, I'm hoping that at least one Republican wins so you can keep the House and Senate in check with Biden, and it's not just Democrat, Democrat, Democrat.
But you keep acting like this, you're going to lose two seats, and it's going to get very ugly.
You said I was wrong on Biden.
I won that, and people owe me money.
Adam, it is a concern.
Tom, you also said that I was wrong on Biden.
But I'll see you.
Listen to CO.
Okay, what's going on?
It's propaganda what's going on in Georgia right now.
It is a coordinated effort to fake the voters into thinking they shouldn't vote.
There's Hollywood stars that are doing it right now.
They're doing a Twitter campaign.
Stacey Abrams is leading this whole charge.
They're trying to, they're trying to.
Have you seen the Twitter?
Pull up the video.
Have you seen the pull up this video?
They're there saying, hey, write in President Trump so he can get those crony bastard Democrats out of there.
Write him in as a writing candidate for Georgia Senate.
I mean, they are playing as dirty, way dirtier now to try to get these last seats in Georgia than they were in the presidential election.
So look at the stuff that's going on.
They're doing fake radio advertisements.
They're doing billboards.
They're trying to get Republicans not to vote so they don't get this seat.
Let's just use the Republican.
Let's use Sidney Powell's words.
Let's use the Georgia election official.
A couple people just said that.
Trump's saying it's embarrassing that he voted for Brian Kemp or Brian Kemp supported him.
These are Republicans.
Minuteman 941 just said the left has been spreading.
He gave 10 bucks.
The left has been spreading the past four years.
The president is a legitimate.
I believe there was a massive amount of fraud that unfortunately might not be able to be proven in time.
Love the show.
Thanks, buddy.
A.T. said, of course, something is happening behind closed doors.
Why do you think Barr stopped investigating the Epstein situation?
And I kind of, by the way, if you enjoyed this dialogue that we're having right now about this topic, push that subscribe button.
We'll get a feel.
If you do, we'll change the topics.
If you do enjoy it, push the subscribe button.
We'll continue on this topic here as we're going.
So go ahead.
You were going to say something about this.
Oh, no.
It's just, it's so scary what's going on in Georgia.
And they're not, I mean, the amount of money that's being poured into there, the stakes that, you know, the Mark Cuban.
I saw a tweet from Mark Cuban about three weeks ago.
He says, for all these people that are putting all their money into Georgia, rather than putting the money into the campaign contribution, why don't you give it to a family?
I'm like, wait, what?
Yeah, local charity.
I'm like, what do you mean local charity?
That's a very strange recommendation.
So what do you mean don't give the money to the funds in Georgia, rather give it to local charities.
If you are worried about losing Senate, House, and presidency, you of course would give money to support a couple of these Republicans to win.
So there's a broken, you know, like they don't have control of all three.
Why would you support all out?
Very strange tweet that came out about, now, you know, he's a good communicator.
He's going to give his own version of the story, why that is.
But it's that NBA vibe with that woke spirit that he.
And Adam Silver said, what did Adam Silver say yesterday?
He said what?
He made some announcement that he didn't think that everything that was going on with the social justice stuff, the BLM stuff, had an effect on viewership in the NBA and the NBA finals, which we've, you know, we've seen has plummeted.
Yeah, of course it's plummeted.
And to me, you know, you know how I feel about it.
Like yesterday, LeBron got an $85 million contract for two years.
You know what's the first thing I said?
The guy deserves more than $85 million.
I don't agree with the way he handles being a number one guy at the NBA.
I can't stand the way he handles stuff.
I just don't like the way he handles politics and the way he treats independents.
I don't like the way he treats independents.
But the guy deserves more than $42 million a year.
That's a guy that deserves $60, $70, $80 million a year.
And I still disagree.
I still disagree with LeBron.
You know the backstory with that contract?
I think Valutainers will appreciate this too because it's not really sports, but he did a two-year contract because then he can be a free agent after two years to play with his son.
So Bronny's going to be a sophomore.
They're going to change the rules where you can come out at the age of 18.
LeBron's going to push this through.
So imagine an NBA team in two or three years will pick Bronnie James number one because they know they get LeBron with it.
Isn't that unbelievable?
He might not even be the best player in the draft, but LeBron, it's a package deal.
He'll come with him.
He'll go to one more team and play.
Listen, here's props to LeBron James.
He is ridiculously strategic.
Ridiculously strategic.
He's brilliant when it comes down to strategy.
You don't have to agree with his policies.
The guy is so strategic.
That guy's going to have a long creo of having influence.
He ain't going away anytime soon after the NBA.
You know what?
You're going to team around it.
Why don't you pull up the video of what Obama said yesterday about defunding the police?
He made an interesting comment.
It's Garrick said he gave $2 and said the shirt should say, pray for Adam.
Can I ask you a question about $200?
Do you think O'Keefe blew his cover too soon?
I mean, he could have continued to record those CNN conversations.
Why not just release the tapes, not jump in there and sabotage him or ambush him like that?
They'd be freaking out.
They wouldn't know.
They'd think it'd be an inside job that somebody was doing it.
He had two more months of recording tapes that he blew.
Now they're going to come up with some really secure way that they're going to be.
The Ducker said he's going to assume it's a felony.
And O'Keeffe, one thing people don't realize is O'Keeffe's attorneys are legit attorneys.
Every time people have tried to sue this guy, he said defamation of character, his attorneys have gone back at him and they've had to apologize.
People have to publicly apologize to this guy.
What's his background, this Project Veritas, James O'Keefe?
Why don't you pull up his Wikipedia?
Let's find out who would have been.
I wish he wouldn't have blown his cover.
Go to James O'Keefe.
He was there for two years, though.
James O'Keefe, American activist, go down right there.
Second one.
Okay, Project Veritas.
He's an American conserved political activist, provocateur, say that word.
Provocateur.
Provocateur.
He produces secretly recorded undercover audio in governmental social service organization perpetrating to show an abusive legal behavior by employees.
He selectively edited videos to misrepresent the context of the conservatives and subjects' responses, creating the false impression that the people said or did.
O'Keeffe gained national attention for selectively edited video recordings of the workers at American of Community Organizers of Reform, Acorn, in 2009, his arrest and his guilty plea in 2010 for entering the federal office of then U.S. Senator Mary Landrew under false pretenses and the release of misleading videos of conservatives with two high-ranking now former NPR executives.
Interesting background.
They have their own Wikipedia.
I wonder who wrote that.
He went to Rutgers University, BA.
Keep going up a little bit more.
Keep going up, keep going up.
Okay, there you have it.
That's who he is.
Okay.
And one of the fired Acorn workers sued O'Keefe for invasion of privacy.
O'Keeffe issued an apology and agreed to pay $100,000 in settlement.
So he's a pretty controversial guy.
That's a biased.
Yeah, and he ain't going to be a bad person.
That is a bias.
He's a very biased, though, is the question.
Oh, 100% he's biased.
He is biased.
Of course he's biased.
There's no question about him being biased.
Who's not biased these days?
Who's not biased these days?
Is anybody in a coma out there?
Maybe those people?
I do think there are people who can give reasonable feedback, you know, where you can sit there and hear them out and see what they're going to be saying.
I do think there's some people like that out there.
Who's out there in this world today that is completely unbiased?
He says, I'll give it to you straight.
I'll tell you.
The Walter Krunk items.
I'll tell you who to look at.
I would look at on economy side.
If a person's coming from a social side, there's two emotions in that.
But if a person's coming from a logical side, they can reason on both sides.
I don't know if I make sense or not.
For example, if my issue on why I'm a Democrat is because I'm gay and I don't like the fact on how Republican Christians view gays and the way they judge me, everything else is out the window.
Because socially, I'm emotional.
I've experienced certain things.
You're anchored to that emotion.
If I have experienced racism and I hated that one night cop pulled me over and you have no idea how pissed off I was that he judged me for the skin of not from a context of my character.
Yeah, that's emotional.
That's like, what are you talking about?
Do you realize who I am?
But if there is people that are coming from a logical place to be able to reason and it's numbers data, they're the ones to listen to the most.
That's what I would say to you.
That's why when I get my news, you know, and this is something that I've had to kind of search.
Like I found that, you know, the Financial Times, Business Insider, even USA Today, they're just giving you the numbers.
There's giving you more, you know, not Wall Street Journal is also.
Wall Street Journal is a little bit to the right.
I'm cool with that.
I would say Business Insider is definitely to the left.
I mean, I would not call them down the middle, not Business Insider.
Left?
Left.
What yard line are they on?
The 35, probably.
They were the first ones to proclaim Biden as the winner.
I mean, they're pretty anti-right.
I thought that was Fox News.
I think Wall Street is the most center place to go to for information.
Wall Street Center.
Most center place to go to.
So what place?
Let's get to the heart of the matter.
What do you mean, what place?
Like, if we need some unbiased opinion.
What I'm trying to tell you is, like, for example, Forbes.
Wall Street Journal?
Forbes magazine, Fortune magazine.
Fortune is all left.
Forbes is still center.
Okay.
Center-right.
Fortune?
Forbes.
Forbes is center-right.
Yeah.
Forbes is right.
Yeah, yeah.
You go to Time magazine, left.
Money magazine, left.
Newsweek, left.
Businessweek, left.
Washington Post, left.
Washington Times, right.
New York Times, far left.
New York Post, far right.
Breibart, far right.
The Hill, left.
You know, you can ESPN left in the middle.
Nobody.
See, I honestly don't know.
I think it's impossible in some cultures to be in the middle.
I think we're the only ones.
You think we're middle?
You know why I say we're middle?
What do you mean we're middle?
What do you mean we're middle?
The way you said it.
What do you think we're middle?
There are things that all three of us disagree on when we talk.
When we bring other guests, we don't sit like people say, oh, you got to get rid of so for what?
For what?
Get rid of for what?
We need to have a Trump circle jerk here.
What I'm trying to say to you is somebody sits there and says, I disagree with Pat.
I disagree with Adam.
I disagree with Tom.
I agree with Adam.
I agree with Pat.
Then they have to make the decision for themselves.
Are you saying there is somebody that you're getting?
This is what America needs right now.
I think, like, even with James O'Keefe.
Yeah.
Like, I'm using that as an example.
Conservative provocateur.
He's edited videos.
Our initial reaction, Tom was like, I wonder who wrote that.
I wonder who wrote that.
I'm thinking, seems a little, I'm not calling you out here.
You said that.
No, I did.
I'm thinking, he edited videos.
He edited videos.
Right.
So I'm thinking, like, everything is so biased.
We're looking at it through a biased lens.
I think you're going to see an unbiased thing coming out here very soon.
Just be patient.
I agree with you, though.
A couple things.
Tim Poole is unbiased.
Joel Kianando said Tim Poole says unbiased.
He does political streams with 60,000 viewers daily.
Don't sleep on him.
I think Tim's a stud.
This next one, Kevin F. gave $100 to Mr. Bed.
David, I would like to train you for free for a week.
What do you say?
If you're Dallas-best, send us a message.
Play that video.
Play that video.
So here's Barack Obama yesterday on a live talking about defunding the police.
And here's what he had to say about it.
Eve, as I do, that we should be able to reform the criminal justice system so that it's not biased and treats everybody fairly.
I guess you can use a snappy slogan like defund the police, but you know you've lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you're actually going to get the changes you want done.
But if you instead say, let's reform the police department so that everybody's being treated fairly, you know, divert young people from getting into crime.
And if there's a homeless guy, maybe we send a mental health worker there instead of an armed unit that could end up resulting in a tragedy.
Suddenly, a whole bunch of folks who might not otherwise listen to you are listening to you.
So the key is deciding, do you want to actually get something done or do you want to feel good among the people you already agree with?
Pause.
If you want to get something done.
Okay.
Go ahead.
That's a politician right there.
He knows what he's doing.
It's a strategy.
Yeah, and it scares me.
That soundbite terrifies me because up until this point, I thought Barack Obama was about as far left as you can get.
He certainly was as president.
And he's being called out by the far, far left.
They hate him.
I mean, they hate that comment.
They're saying, you know, they're fighting him on that, which means the radicalness extends so far beyond him.
It's frightening.
He's just a smooth dude, man.
I think what we're seeing right now, like Tom just said, I never thought that Obama was too far, far, far left.
I think of myself as a moderate center left person.
On the socialist stuff, certainly I'm a little more left.
On economy stuff, I'm a little more left.
Where's Obama at?
Where's Obama at?
I think he's center, a little bit to the left.
No, I don't think that's the case.
I think he's on the 40-yard line.
Oh, no.
No.
Dude, he's a reasonable dude, man.
He's smooth as hell.
I don't say he's that reasonable.
The problem that I have is when people are like, he's a communist.
He is a socialist.
He is a Russian.
He is from Africa.
Obama would not admit to being on the 40-yard line.
I'd say he's on the 20.
He's on the 20-yard line.
He's probably 20-25-yard line is where he's at.
By the way, Ilhan Omar, AOC, they're waiting.
She's ridiculous.
She's in the upper deck past the end of the day.
So, like, as someone who votes for Biden or Obama, I don't like the 20.
So go to Ilhan Omar and show the tweet that she just tweeted after seeing this video.
She flipped out.
Here's what she had to say.
Do you have the tweet or no?
Her tweet.
It's got to be, keep going, keep going.
It's a Hill video.
You didn't pull it up or keep going, keep going, because what she says is link news media.
It's censorship.
They got you, Kai.
They censored you.
We lose people in the hands of police.
It's not a slogan, but a policy demand, Adam.
We lose people in the hands of police.
It's not a slogan, but a policy demand.
And centering the demand for equitable investments and budgets for communities across the countries gets us progress and safety.
That's infuriating.
She's an idiot.
Why are we listening to her?
Here's what's even bigger than infuriating.
124,000 people like that tweet.
She's from Minnesota.
Do you understand the crime problems of Minnesota?
Your people, Tom.
I know.
I cannot believe it.
You voted for the buddy.
That's where defunding the police.
What's going on with your people, Tom?
How do you do that?
When the jackets are up like 3,000 people.
How do you do that voting?
Good one.
How do you do that?
It's literally dangerous to be in Minneapolis right now.
That used to be one of the safest places in the world.
People were so nice.
I mean, it was harmless.
Carjackings through the roof.
You cannot go to certain parts of town.
You will get mugged in the middle of the day.
They had to have an emergency meeting of the Minneapolis City Council to add $500,000 to the budget to bring in outside help from the suburbs for the police force because so many of the cops have taken early retirement.
She is so dangerous.
Why are we forced to listen to her?
Why have we ordained her as the voice of the left?
What's funny is I very rarely, I mean, what do you mean forced listen to her?
I don't know.
How about the word that she put in her tweet?
I don't know.
Demand.
We demand, right?
What are you doing demanding anything?
She got re-elected.
So there's people in Minnesota that like what you have to say.
I, for one, don't listen to her, don't necessarily like what she stands for.
People in Minnesota, I don't know, we'll have to find out why they like her so much.
I'm not a fan, not a fan.
But unfortunately, she has a voice and people like what she has to say.
Not a fan, though.
So going back to Obama talking about defunding the police.
That's a smooth dude.
So going back to Obama and talking about defunding the police.
Hey, you know what?
What is wrong with what he said?
Here's what's wrong.
So all three sides, here's what they're saying is wrong with it.
The one side, the right, is saying he's saying that, but he doesn't believe that.
Meaning, he believes in defunding the police, but he's going about it to say in a different way.
Because if you really do want to find a way to defund the police, that's how you say it, the way Obama said it.
But he really wants to defund the police.
So that's what many of the people on the far right are saying.
On the far left, they're saying what?
Shame on you for saying something like that.
We made all this progress on defunding the police, and you're hurting us.
The folks in the middle are saying what?
He's reasonable.
You know, he's reasonable for what he said.
The point I'm trying to make to you is, going back to that phone call, whoever made the phone call to say, shut down the economy so we can send a mail and ballots, there has to be somebody as strategic, as brilliant as him who knows how to reason.
This guy is a genius.
Like his policies or not, Obama's an absolute genius of a strategist and a guy.
You have to be naive to not say this guy's a genius.
Obama's a genius.
Have you also noticed how his profile has gone so much higher now after November 3rd?
I mean, he was laying very, very low.
Sold 1.7 million copies his first week, record breaking.
No one's ever sold 1.7 million copies in a week.
And as we learned, even the publishing industry has changed because of that book.
Because they have to spend so many resources printing that book that other books get backed up and they can't even bring books in.
Number two book in the world right now.
Number one, Your Next Five Moves by PBD.
Congratulations.
You beat Obama.
That's amazing.
Yeah, so the point is that this is a guy that if you don't, if I have somebody that I want to be able to give feedback to see what to do things with, that's a guy.
And by the way, when you're saying he's 35-yard line, he's not 35-yard line because on the inside, if you read his book and his story with his father, his upbringing, what his father believed in, there's a lot of emotions behind him.
The benefit he has is he's very poised.
He has this gift of poise, and it gives him a lot of power.
Even if behind closed doors, you're saying he's closer to the 30-yard line, 25-yard line.
He has the ability to get to people on the 50-yard line, to get people on the other 40-yard line.
That's what I'm saying.
He's like, come on over here.
That's all I'm saying.
Yes.
Trump has a major problem doing this.
He's a converter.
He's a converter of the Independent Party.
Yeah, and that's what you need to do in order to win.
Hillary wasn't a converter of the Independent Party.
He was a converter.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you think, slash, do you like the fact that he's going to be in Biden's ear?
You know, everyone thinks that Biden's, you know, decrepit, dementia dude.
You know, I'll give, see, there we go.
There's that bias.
We love that bias.
You can't play with his dog without breaking multiple bones.
He's got a bum leg.
Do you like the fact that Obama is going to be in his ear saying, hey, man, here's what I would do in this situation.
Here's what I recommend.
Here's my advice.
A, do you think he will be in his ear?
B, do you like the fact that he'll be in his ear?
He's going to be in his ear.
Do I like the fact that he's going to be in his ear?
Yeah, I don't mind the fact that he's going to be in his ear.
I think it's good for him to be in his ear.
All I'm saying is I don't even think Biden's going to be making the decisions as a president.
Listen, there are certain people that do what they want to do.
Trump.
Trump's going to do what Trump's going to do.
Ain't nobody going to tell him what to do.
For good or for bad.
It's for good or for bad.
It's not a good thing or a bad thing.
It can haunt you, but it's also a good thing, okay, if you're right.
Then there are certain people that do what others tell them what to do, okay?
Like Hillary Clinton.
Like Biden.
No, not Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton's going to do what Hillary Clinton's going to do.
She's also a Maverick.
No way.
Biden, people are going to tell Biden what to do.
Hillary was very robotic.
She said, oh, according to the polls, she was never doing this.
She would have never done that.
She was trying to be Obama.
And the world realized, dude, you're not Obama.
Okay, stop trying to be Obama.
You're not Obama.
You're not even in one tenth of Obama.
She's not Bill.
However, strategically dirty, she's much dirtier than Obama.
Obama's not the dirtiest of dirtiest.
Hillary's dirty.
But Obama's poised.
It's a big difference.
There's a very big difference when you're in the bottom of the bank.
You know what the other difference is?
When you look at the dynamic between Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Barack Obama is an alpha male.
I mean, look, you have to be an absolute genius to go from a community organizer to have the audacity, like his book said, to think that you could become president, then a two-term president.
He's probably running the show more than anybody else on the Democratic Party.
You look at Joe Biden.
He is a lapdog.
I mean, he literally is because he took the easiest route you can possibly take.
Gravy training from one area and just riding that Senate wave and then allegedly potentially having your son broker some deals where you're making a lot more money on the side.
But I mean, it's like a big, it's almost like a marionette.
I mean, Joe Biden is attached to puppet strings with Barack Obama probably, you know, telling him what to do on some level.
I think that's why we're seeing this increased profile for Barack Obama because he knows he's going to have a lot of influence coming up in the next four years.
How salty?
You've seen that Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, they've all kind of are speaking in unison regarding COVID.
I don't know if you've seen this lately.
They're kind of like, as the former presidents of the United States, former two-term presidents of the United States, we are now speaking in unison.
Two Democrats, one Republican.
Here's what I have to say.
Here's my question.
How salty do you think Donald Trump is that he'll only be a one-term president and you have three two-term presidents basically being like, hit the road, Jack?
Like emotions, emotion-wise.
Because Trump's an emotional dude.
He's not all logic.
He's pissing vinegar.
He's emotional.
How salty do you think Trump is that you have these three presidents basically saying, here's where we stand.
You ain't doing a good job, buddy.
I think it's low on his worries.
I think he's got other things to say.
You don't think he's thinking about what Obama, Bush, and Clinton are saying?
I don't think he's spending any time on that.
This guy gets upset when Rosie O'Donnell calls him out.
You don't think we're going to be able to do that?
But that's because he was the president.
That was the fact that he's a celebrity.
I don't think so because I actually don't think he gets upset.
You know why?
You know why I don't think he gets upset?
Because it's been like that for four years.
What's new?
But now you have three presidents speaking to him.
Which one of them has supported him in the last four years?
Bush?
But in unison, though.
They've always been in unison against Trump.
Which one of them has been in supportive of Trump in the last 40 years?
Just to see where the Republican Party goes.
Do you think Bush voted for Trump last election?
In 2016?
Yes.
Probably not.
Because his brother, what he called the brother, the family, all that, you think he voted for them?
I don't think he did.
I don't think nothing changed.
He hasn't had the support of them.
So if you haven't had the support of a community for four or five years, what changes?
Nothing.
I got support from the Soyboy community.
That's all I'm worried about.
They love you.
Hey, guys, let me say this about Joe Biden.
That's Trump.
And you know what?
If you guys agree with me, let me know on the comments here because I almost look at Joe Biden as the accidental president because there is no way that Barack Obama selected him based on anything else in 2008 other than what's going to help me get re-elected.
There was something about his background, the votes he could bring.
He didn't when Barack Obama ran for president and had Joe Biden as his vice president.
He said re-elected.
You mean in 2012?
Well, no, when he selected Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate in 2008, he didn't do it because he was so overwhelmed with just the brilliance of Joe Biden.
He picked him to help him win the election because he could bring in some sort of vote.
That's what every president does when they pick vice president.
My point is in the last year.
So he gets the white evangelical Christian.
For eight years, do you think Barack Obama ever listened to anything that Joe Biden said?
Hey, I bet he treated him like the little brother and told him to shut up.
Literally.
Do you think Dick Cheney was ever told to shut up by George Bush?
No.
So he's the accidental president right now because he rode the wave of Barack Obama and the perfect timing for him at the age of 78 when he didn't even campaign.
We're going down with the shots.
By the way, we just got a real cool friend.
Good mother's not stopping.
She keeps donating.
Thank you, Good Mother.
We like good mother.
She gave $5 and she says Pelosi isn't smart enough to come up with that strategy, but hates Trump enough to find somebody who does.
Okay.
Dorian Navarate said, question, if we defund the police, I'm pretty sure the police will start stealing money.
There will be more bad cops if they're not getting paid, which is classic.
And then we had another one from Good Mother.
Obama is a perfect puppet.
Obama's a puppet, too.
People should pay closer attention to hateful and resentful women in power.
Those are the ones pulling the strings.
And then we got another one here.
Is the MRC5 in vaccines ethical?
Will you take the new vaccine?
Adam, specifically to you, will you take the new vaccine when it comes out?
I'm not going to be first in line to take the vaccine.
First in line is going to be the health care workers.
And you know what?
Three presidents, speaking in unison, have said that they will publicly take the vaccine.
George W. Bush, Obama Clinton said that they would publicly go on TV and take the vaccine.
Why?
How do you know?
Because they trust science.
What are you saying?
That they're going to fake the fake news.
What are you fake newser people?
How do you know what shot?
They're going to fake news the shot?
I'm going to take the shot life.
Okay, like I know what the shot is.
You know what shot you are.
So the doctors are going to lie.
The president is going to lie.
Are you serious?
I can believe it.
It's so funny, man.
I'm so glad you trust the media so close, Steve.
I'm trusting the president saying that taking the shot.
Okay, and the president don't like that.
They're going to risk their health and take any kind of a shot.
Shit's a business now.
Let's get down to business.
You know, that's the one part about you, man.
You are very, very entertaining.
You see, the entertainment side of attainment is very much brought by Adam.
You didn't bring me here for the value.
You brought me here for the tame man.
No, you're actually pretty reasonable on the left.
So, all right, Hugh Packard leaves California for Texas in headquarters jump.
Governor Abbott is on a state recruiting spree.
I love that.
Hugh Packard has made the decision to relocate its headquarters from San Jose, California to Houston, Texas.
They're the largest U.S. employment hub.
Houston is an attractive market to recruit and retain future diverse talent, and it's where the company is currently constructing a state-of-the-art new campus.
The Bay Area will continue to be a strategic hub for HPE, Hewlett Packard Innovation, and the company will consolidate a number of sites in the Bay Area and its San Jose campus.
No layoffs are associated with this move.
We are excited that Hewlett Packard Enterprise has chosen to call Texas Home.
And I thank them for expanding their investment in a Lone Star State by relocating their headquarters to Houston Region, Abbott wrote in a statement.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise joins more than 50 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the Lone Star State, including 22 in Houston area alone.
I got you.
I'm going to set you up, Tom.
Here we go.
I'm going to let you slam dump this bad boy.
So what is Hewlett Packard famous for?
They're famous for literally being the company that started Silicon Valley.
Like it started, there was a guy, Hewlett, and there's a guy, Packard, and they started sort of in the Bezos approach.
They started their company in a one-car garage in Silicon Valley, Palo Alto.
There you go.
There's literally a historical landmark with a plaque that says the birthplace of Silicon Valley at this location, this one-car garage in Palo Alto.
So me being a Florida boy, I've never lived in California.
I've spent some summer times there.
You know, obviously we're in Texas now.
So I'm going to throw this back to you, Tom.
I'm going to throw this back to you, Pat.
Being, you know, living in California now, born, you know, not born, but raised in California, you know, when you came to the States, what do you hear?
What do you feel like when you hear all these companies, like, because Elon Musk has talked about it, there's been a multitude of Silicon Valley S-type companies that are leaving the state.
You obviously left the state.
You know, you're thinking about it, wink-wink.
What do you think about when you hear all these companies that are basically saying, all right, dude, enough's enough.
We're getting out of California.
We saw Ben Shapiro leave California.
He's moving to Nashville slash Boca Raton.
Joe Rogan did it.
Elon Musk is talking about it.
PBD did it.
Setting you up, Tom.
What the hell's going on in California?
It's a revolution.
I mean, it's just the beginning.
If a company like Hewlett-Packard can do it, they're setting the playbook now for Tesla, for some of these other big companies that are going to do it.
It is becoming impossible to stay in California.
If you're a big business like this, think about the decision involved in this, the amount of employees, probably 10,000 employees that you're going to relocate.
What about all the data that you got to move?
What about building a new corporate headquarters in Houston?
I mean, this is no quick decision.
I mean, there must have been, and then you probably go back to Newsome and you say, hey, we're thinking of doing this.
Is there anything you can do to inspire us or to incentivize us to stay?
He clearly doesn't.
I think a guy like Elon Musk, you're going, why hasn't he moved yet?
I think he's just waiting.
He will move.
There is no way you can stay in California if you're a big business like that.
Now, the Googles of the world, the Apples of the world, they're so big.
They're their own country, basically, that it doesn't really matter.
And so much of their business is done outside of Silicon Valley and whatnot.
But I think this is only going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.
And if HP can do it, anybody can do it.
We had somebody just commented right now.
Crypto Chart says HP isn't even that relevant these days.
Only thing is printers, right, is what it's saying about HP.
By the way, HP is a pretty big company.
If you pull up HP, pull up Hewlett Packer Wikipedia to see how many employees these guys got and what kind of numbers they're putting up.
I think it's like 60,000 worldwide.
It's go up, go up.
There's still a Fortune 500 company.
Go up, go up, go up, go up right there.
Click on that.
Let's see where they're at employee-wise.
Keep going up, keep going up.
It's going to show on the top on the right.
You don't need to do that, Kai.
Just close that and go up right there to the right.
Okay.
Opponent Michigan is worldwide.
Typically, they put the employees right there.
Interesting that they don't have it over here.
So what is their number of how big they are?
I think it's about 60,000 employees.
Can you see how many total employees at Hewlett Packard?
How many employees does Hewlett Packard have?
Yeah.
Does Hugh Packer have?
There you go.
55,000 employees.
Tom almost had it.
Top 10 competitors averaged 90,000.
Okay, they got their ninth among top 10 competitors.
Where are you going with this, Pat?
55,000 employees is what they have.
So this is not a small company to say they're doing that.
This is not a schlep that's just saying, hey, we're going to move our stuff to Texas.
Great word.
And the fact that what he said, he says, a move like this is not like an overnight decision that you make.
Okay.
I'm going to make a crazy prediction here.
I'll make a crazy prediction here.
I think if there's ever been a time where someone on the center-right can go win the office in California and be a governor, right now's the time to do it.
Oh, yeah.
Newsome's making it easy.
I think if there's ever been a time for somebody in California to go and become a governor, center-right, if you know somebody or you have someone that you think would have the legs to go do it, you may want to inspire them.
I had a couple conversations with a couple influential guys in California.
I said, how come you're not running?
Why are you not running?
Behind closed doors, I don't want to share their vision of what they want to do.
I said, why don't you run in?
And we had an extensive conversation.
He says, you know, I'm actually thinking about it.
And I'm trying to inspire a handful of people who would make good governors to go run.
You're these guys here.
I think California in the next, I would not be surprised in the next four, eight, 12 years, California is going to have a solid center-right governor who is going to be fine with LGBTQ.
I'm not talking Ted Cruz type of a governor.
I'm talking about a Arnold Schwarzenegger type.
He wasn't able to get anything done because behind Claire.
But he was center right.
He said they didn't let me get nothing done.
They didn't let him get nothing done.
He was like arrested for eight years, meaning by folks on the other side, his hands tied.
He couldn't do it.
So, what type of person do you have in mind?
I think somebody like a rock could do it if he wanted to go on that side.
I think somebody that is a center independent, but you have to choose a side.
I think someone today could win the state of California because Newsom is almost at a point where he really doesn't give a shit about the small business owners in the state of California.
Play that video, Kai sent to you, the one with the interview, where all of a sudden the guy in the background, the small business owner, flips.
And this is in the middle of a commentary.
It's a Twitter link I sent you.
See if you can find it.
By the way, in the meantime, I am backing a candidate in California.
He's a Republican.
He's a moderate.
His name is Ricky Aguilar.
He's a big time capitalist.
I like what he has to say.
He's a reasonable guy.
I don't think you can get somebody out of the business community, though, because there's a lot of qualified people, I think, in business that could do it.
The number one guy that I think would be a great governor is Bob Eisner.
Leaving Disney, the timing's perfect.
He's pissed at Newsom, but I just don't think, because of his industry, that he could be center-right.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Bob Iger or the president of Disney.
Iger or Michael Eisner.
No, no, not Eisner.
My bad.
Sorry.
Bob Iger.
Bob Iger's left, though.
Yeah, I know, that's my point.
Yeah, he would be.
Look, he's mad at him.
He doesn't want to be governor.
He wants to be a president.
Okay.
But a guy like him, but I don't think you can come out of the business community just because you can't come out of the entertainment world.
I don't think Rock could do it because there's no way he could ever align himself anything other than left.
He can't.
Yeah, I agree with him not being able to do that, although I do think he's a center-right guy.
I just think there's a time for it because, you know, here's how life works and what I've noticed over the years.
You and I may have 50 different things that we're not in common with.
We can disagree on 50 different things.
There's one thing we all agree on, which is what?
I got to make money to support my family, period.
And if a guy keeps costing me jobs and I used to work for Hewlett Packard, it's moving to Houston.
I don't want to go to Houston or all these companies that are leaving.
And I'm a Democrat and I'm losing my job and I have to come again to five with my wife.
My wife gets a divorce.
She leaves me because we can't take care of the kids.
My kids have to leave the school that we're going.
I'm sorry.
I'm no longer thinking about politics.
I'm thinking about my pocket.
The more you hurt my pocket, I'm eventually going to vote with my pocket.
And what the Democrats lose with, this is why the Democrats can't become president, state president for 20 years straight.
Because every eight years, when somebody's affected in the pocket, they say, dude, I'm sorry.
You know what?
Why don't we try a little bit of the right?
Why don't we try a little bit of the right?
Why don't we try a little bit of the right to get the economy?
You know, let's try a little bit to get the taxes to be lower.
Let me make and save some money.
I think California folks, if they get hit in the pocket, I think they're going to watch what happens right here with a small business owner.
Look at the emotional reaction he has.
So basic interview this channel is doing WWMT and watch what happens in the middle of it.
It's pretty crazy.
Is this in LA?
Where is this?
Just watch.
On why the judge said no.
My government leaders have abandoned me.
It's one man.
Are you the owner?
$4 trillion of stimulus money, and they gave it to who?
Special interest groups and campaign donors.
I'm Dave Morris.
I own the place.
So what's going on?
What's going on?
You know what's going on.
Tell me.
You tell me.
Hey, we got a government that has taken the stimulus money.
They gave it to special campaign donors.
They gave it to special interest.
They abandoned me and they have put me in a position where I have to fight back.
Okay?
So do you feel that this is the right thing to do?
Absolutely.
I feel everybody needs to stand up.
Hey, listen, there was enough money to give every family, every family in this country, $20,000 to go home for two months.
They chose to give it to special interests and campaign donors, the Kennedy Space Center, and they abandoned us.
If you could have given me money, I'd gladly walk away for 60 days and let this virus settle down.
I'm not going to do it alone.
Okay?
Are you going to continue to violate the state's orders and stay open?
Stay order.
This isn't an order.
This is a conspiracy.
This is a tyranny.
What do you want to tell other restaurant owners who wake up, stand up?
This is America.
Be free.
Can you tell how patriots are coming out supporting me?
Do you blame them?
Let them keep going.
Is it over?
Is that yeah?
Can you feel for that?
Yeah, I mean, dude, that guy is pissing me off.
What state is he in?
What state is he in?
Portage.
Where's Portage?
P-O-R-T-A-G-E.
Portage Learning, Portage, Michigan.
Kyle, not Portage, Michigan.
It's in Michigan.
Yeah, because Michigan's really bad, too.
Boy, that was amazing.
That was strong.
And I got to give that reporter credit too for letting him talk.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, good form for doing that.
I like the way that Porter had done, asking questions.
You know what?
It's turning.
You know, they were protesting outside the non-doctor that is the head of the health community in Los Angeles that makes all the COVID decisions.
Yesterday, Garcetti said, Did you hear his quote?
He says, shut everything down.
That was his quote yesterday.
Shut everything down.
Now, the other thing in LA is the judge said that they're going to give the county one week to come back and prove that outdoor dining is a data that shows that it spreads coronavirus, or else I think the restaurants are going to be able to open up again outdoors.
But people are fighting, and they're really, really terrible.
To me, that is such bullshit.
Shutting down outdoor dining.
The restaurant we eat at in LA, I mean, look, I get indoor dining, I get shutting down bars, I get shutting down 50% capacities.
He's picking up the outdoor dining room.
He's putting one thing to destroy.
You know, look for someone to come out of Orange County because Orange County is pretty big.
They have a history of being very, you know, right-leaning, very, and they are ticked off.
What his decision to not allow Disneyland to open reverberates because it's not Sperry Farm, it's hotels, it's all those restaurants that are around there.
There's hundreds of businesses that have gone under because of that decision.
Yeah, I mean, you know, you know, you ever gone to a funeral, and when you go to the funeral, you're at a funeral where the person wasn't directly related to you, and you didn't have that strong of a relationship with the person who died, but they were to somebody.
You ever been to a funeral when you go, you're like, you know what?
I'm not emotionally connected to this person, but I'm going to pay my respects.
I'm going to go to the funeral.
And then you see somebody come up and they just break down telling a story about their relationship with this person, how they lost them.
And you can't help but what?
Sit there and say, dude, I feel this guy.
I went to a funeral in Miami, and this was somebody that I love.
This is a guy that died who I love dearly, family.
And I knew what he died from.
I knew what he died from because he was a hardcore partier.
This guy cooked food for me every Sunday at my house.
I'd come home from a workout and he's in my house cooking with my wife.
I mean, he was like a freaking incredible guy.
And he died from cocaine overdose.
Okay.
So I go to Miami 2's funeral and I see his stepfather get up.
Doesn't speak very good English.
And he got up.
Wow.
And he got up and he said, I told him, I told him.
I've been telling him for years.
I told him, you have to say, I knew this day was coming.
I had nightmares about this day.
I knew this day was coming.
I was scared of this day.
And this man is in his 70s and he's just, it's just coming down.
He's not speaking good.
He's not a good speaker.
He's just telling you, bro, I am in pain.
I was afraid of this day.
He lost his son, 33 years old when this guy died.
32 years old when this guy died, right?
I'm sitting, freaking, I cannot stand these.
I watch a guy like this.
This is not a motivational speaker, Republican, a demon.
He's just telling you, dude, I'm trying to run a damn business.
Just a business owner.
Get the hell out of my way.
Let me pay these employees.
I'm trying to stay in business.
What are you doing?
And you watch his pain.
And it's not just him.
That's just one guy in Michigan.
You got restaurants in California taking hits.
You got restaurants in New York taking hits.
You got all these people playing all these political games.
What they're not realizing is these people have put their entire life savings into this business.
It's painful seeing that happen.
And it's almost watching him is like watching a funeral of a small business.
Yeah.
And they've done a lot of people.
They're watching a restaurant.
They're slowly dying.
I can't stand that, man.
It really bothers me.
And if you love America, to see what's happening with this kind of culture and environment is allowing something like this to happen.
Shout out to Donald Ho.
He gave $10.
Good mother said.
Just said thank you.
Yeah.
Good mother said, that guy is smarter than these university grads, the guy with the school.
Call up connection said, big pictures, the employees of these companies are bringing their leftist ideology to Texas and will vote the same way they did in California.
Red State's selling out with low tax incentives will bite back.
I agree.
There's a point to that.
That was happening in Arizona.
I agree with that.
Michael gave 10 bucks and said, how has Rafi's place been handling California restrictions?
Obviously, they're being hit with it because when we went at Rafi's place to eat, we sat outside.
Now they can't even do that part.
I'm going restaurant now.
Number five, unrelated one point you have considered an over Scott Adams on the Main Street Main Channel will consider that.
If Bob Iger, Brando, Brando Commando said, if Bob Iger ran for office, the far left would jump down his throat for how he treated Disney employees, wages.
They did the same thing to Bloomberg and Trump, but Trump could handle this criticism.
I think Bob Iger could also handle the criticism.
And thank you also, Marilyn, for your love.
Look, you know, you sit here and you see these stories of a Hewle Packer moving to Texas and you ask yourself what the guy said.
They're going to bring their leftist policies.
But you also sit there and say, how much longer is the massive exodus going to take place?
Not exodus.
There's a difference between an exodus and a mass exodus.
A mass exodus is what?
They're gone.
Okay.
Permanent.
Permanently gone.
They're being mistreated.
They're not treating people respectfully.
There's going to be issues that are going to be taking place.
At what point do you see 50 companies leaving?
At what point do you see bigger names leaving?
At what point do you see that with California?
Is that going to happen over the next 12 years?
In Silicon Valley, within Palo Alto, there is a framework and reasons to stay.
Legislation, incentives, specifically in that area.
Because I was wondering, why the hell aren't these companies?
Why aren't more moving?
But there is infrastructure, you know, a brain trust, a bubble in Silicon Valley for reasons to stay.
That's why these companies do stay there.
But other places in California, I totally understand.
San Francisco, Jesus.
Let's talk about Bitcoin.
Here's what happened with Bitcoin.
Visa will offer a credit card that rewards purchases in Bitcoin rather than cash or airline miles in early 2021.
Interesting.
Visa.
That is a level of credibility for Bitcoin like never before.
For Visa to say, I'm going to reward purchases in Bitcoin.
We're excited to add credit cards to our suite of products and expand Bitcoin's accessibility to a broader set of consumers, Zach Prince said, the CEO.
This card makes it simple and risk-free for people to gain or increase exposure to new asset classes without changing their spending or investing capital.
Visa will launch a credit card that rewards users in Bitcoin instead of traditional cash air miles in 2021.
The card comes out with an annual fee of $200.
Users will receive 1.5% of their purchases back in Bitcoin and bonus of $250 in the world's most popular digital currency after spending $3,000 or more within the first three months.
What does this mean for Bitcoin?
Let me jump in real quick.
I know this is your wheelhouse.
I'll take my quick perspective and turn it over to you guys.
I have a phrase, stay in your lane.
I like to use that phrase, so I'm not going to try to be an expert in Bitcoin, but I'll tell you the one thing that caught my eye on this thing.
I think there's a lot of people out there, guys, and Adam, you probably know this, that want to act like they think they know about Bitcoin, right?
And I think Visa is capitalizing on these people because I think they think it's cool.
It's going to impress people.
Yeah, I got the credit card with Bitcoin.
And it's all about that $200 yearly fee.
If you start doing the math on $200 times $100,000 or 300,000 people that want that card because they think they're understanding cryptocurrency and they're into the Bitcoin game, that's a lot of money for Visa.
That's my thought.
Yeah, good point.
You know, I've interviewed a lot of people, especially when I started my show.
To Tom's point, they just want to be cool because they got Bitcoin.
So I'll ask them, do you have a 401k?
Nope.
Are you invested in the stock market?
Nope.
Do you hold any gold or any, do you own any assets?
Nope.
Do you have Bitcoin?
Hell yeah, I got some Bitcoin.
It's like, I mean, I don't, I'm not sure why you gave them a country accent, but they said they had Bitcoin.
And, you know, I said this before, I'll say it again.
If you want to throw 5%, 10%, even 20% of your net worth into Bitcoin, of your asset, cool, give it a shot.
That should not be 100% of your foundation.
However, I will say, what have we seen in Bitcoin this year?
It was at rocket, you know, at bottom lows at 9,000 earlier this year.
Now it's up to 19,000 and change.
It's approaching 20,000, which is, I think, it reached in December of 2017.
If anything is happening with Bitcoin, it's being legitimized when Visa comes out and does this.
PayPal a few months ago said that it would buy, hold, sell Bitcoin now.
So I think for people that thought the death of Bitcoin was coming, I think they were wrong.
However, there's still people who think that Bitcoin is the end-all be-all.
I'm not in that camp yet.
But it's looking good for Bitcoin, is my point.
I think this is more than looking good for Bitcoin.
I think this is Visa.
Step into the mainstream.
Yeah.
You kidding me?
For Visa to say we're going to pay in Bitcoin.
If anybody out there is a Bitcoin person, I would be screaming this off the top of my lungs.
They're probably screaming.
Oh, they are.
I'm kidding.
Bitcoin's going to be going to $50,000.
It's going to go to $100,000.
You got to get in.
All that stuff that they're going to be doing.
Trivia question for you.
Go for it.
For both of us.
Do you think Bitcoin is more likely to go to $50,000 or zero?
Oh, $50,000.
It ain't going to zero.
Yeah.
It's not going to be, but the alternative is you should ask the question a different way.
Is it more likely to go to 50,000 or 5,000?
That's a different conversation.
I would say 5,000 at that point.
Can I make my zero because if I had said 50,000, no one would remember that.
But if by some chance I get lucky and it goes to zero, people think I'm an expert.
Tom, you are a provocateur.
You and James O'Keefe.
You're in a different league today.
Provocateur right there.
But you did interview the wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belford, and he said he thinks it's a sham.
He's seen this before.
Yeah.
Is that guy a sham or no?
I also interviewed.
It sounds like you're not a big fan of him.
I'm a wolf of Wall Street.
I'm not.
Why is he a scumbag?
Really?
Yeah.
Tell me why.
I think if you look at his net worth, his net worth is minus $100 million.
Okay.
Okay.
Really?
So he's like.
Minus $100 million.
Yeah.
So I think people are fascinated him for one reason and one reason only.
Leonardo freaking DiCaprio.
Yeah.
Okay.
That guy should be kissing Leonardo DiCaprio's ass every single day of the week.
He basically posterized him as being the man.
Well, and in reality, he was a world-class scumbag.
He ripped people off, and now he's capitalizing on his Instagram, sensationalized stuff that he's doing.
It's the wolf's den, the wolf of Wall Street.
And kind of like what you said, if I thought that he was a cool guy, no one would remember that.
I'm coming out and saying that I think Jordan Belfort, the wolf of Wall Street, is a first-rate scumbag.
You know, when you look at the movie, the cocaine, just the womanizing, all that stuff.
But you know what?
It shows you the power of Leo.
Because remember, he did that movie, Catchy If He Can?
That the guy that was escaping the FBI for years and years.
I mean, what a talented actor to make you root for somebody like that.
And I've actually met that guy, Frank Abigalli.
I love that guy's story.
I love it.
He gave me his cell phone.
He's like, call me anytime, man.
I'm like, dude, I just met you.
It's like, give me a call.
I'm open to anything.
Frank, Frank's.
Frank Abignali and I, we're guys.
We're guys.
He's amazing.
Maybe you ought to interview Jordan Belfort.
I would like to talk to him.
He lives in Manhattan Beach.
I could go look him up.
I don't think give us your thoughts on Jordan Belford.
I think he's still using drugs hardcore.
Yeah, I think Jordan Belfort lived a life that for most 21-year-old men would dream about living for that two, three, four, five-year run that he did.
So he was that young?
He was a young guy.
What I'm trying to say is he has lived the life of a thousand men combined in a span of five years.
Sure.
The stuff that he did.
Just ridiculous out-of-control stuff that this guy did.
Illegal, out of control.
Oh, yeah.
He doesn't deny that part.
I don't think he sits there denying any of that stuff that's taking place on what he did.
And there's a community that can't stand him, and there's a community that can't stand other people online that are sales guys as well who like his style more because he's more experienced sales guy and how he is.
I've sat with him multiple times.
We've spent some time together.
And every time I've been around him, it's been respectable.
It's been a solid interaction that he and I have had.
And he's actually a pretty smart guy.
He's not a dummy.
He is actually a very, very smart guy.
If you process his brain, this guy was going to be a doctor.
If you look at his process and have process issues, this guy was going to be a doctor.
He was coming from a very good family.
And all of a sudden, he got caught up in this whole penny stock thing and found a way to really push the envelope and went out of control.
And he hurt a lot of people.
He's the first person to say it.
I'll say this.
I didn't call him an idiot.
I didn't call him a first-class moron.
I didn't call him, you know, a complete buffoon.
I said he was a scumbag.
There's a lot of people who are scumbags.
Do you actually know the definition of a scumbag?
Is that a segue to our Hungarian story?
Do you actually know the definition?
No, no, don't even pull it up.
Don't even pull it up.
Don't do it because it's the wrong image.
I think it's like something you put in a vagina to clean out your no, no.
Do you actually know what a scumbag is?
Does anybody here know what a definite?
Are you being serious?
I don't know the true definition of a scumbag.
You will never look at the word the same way again.
Do you know what the word scumbag means?
Do you know what a scumbag means?
Do you know what it means?
Kai, do you know what it is?
Okay.
It's a used condom.
Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, there you go.
It's a scumbag.
It's a used.
So when you say that phrase to me, for the rest of your life, you're not going to like people calling anybody scumbags.
Jordan Belford is a used condom, jizzed up, shriveled up.
Throw that shit in the garbage.
But I don't think he's an idiot.
It takes someone with brains and balls and bravado to do what he did.
No doubt.
Well, he probably used condom.
He lived the life like he knew he was getting away with something that he shouldn't.
So he lived day to day.
I see these people in Miami all the time.
You know, Sunny Place, Shady People, Nevin Shapiro, he was a booster complete running a Ponzi scheme.
The other guy in Fort Lauderdale.
I think I know his lawyer, Mark Nerick.
Okay, that sounds right.
The other guy was a Fort Lauderdale.
I've seen these people.
It's all smoke and mirrors and big time and partying and drugs, but behind the back, they are stealing your money.
Save that money.
Yeah, he was actually one decision away from being a billionaire.
He was, what was that shoe company?
Something Adams.
What was the company called?
Is it the movie?
What's the shoe company?
It's not Skechers.
What's the shoe company?
People wear it all the time.
Not Doc Martens.
Not Doc Martin.
No, no, no.
He was one move away from being a billionaire.
What is the shoe company called?
Reebok.
No, it's not Reebok.
Kyle, you're looking it up or no?
Yeah.
Steve Madden.
There you go.
I said Adam.
Steve Madden.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
He was about to, he was an owner of Steve Madden.
Steve Madden.
He's wearing a Steve Madden.
There you go.
People wear Steve Madden.
Steve Madden went to jail too.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, so he was about to be a billionaire, and things caught up.
And next thing you know, they took a big hit.
So this guy was a guy that probably, if he wouldn't have screwed up the way he did, he would have been a billionaire.
People would have told his story.
You're going to get caught.
The stories about, like, you know how you hear stories about Richard Branson, right?
Where his mother said, I don't know if you guys have read the book, the Virgin book, the Red Book.
I don't know if you've read it.
I read the book.
And his mother said when he was a kid, he said, son, you're either going to end up in jail or you're going to be a very powerful man one day.
It's going to be one of the two.
Well, you know, Jordan Belfort was one decision away from being a billionaire or he went to jail.
Well, that's what happens with these super smart people, the made-offs of the world.
Yeah, but the point on when he and I talked about it, if you ever watched my first interview with him, I asked about, you know, where you got in trouble.
He said, I thought I could push the envelope and I just kept pushing it more and more and more.
And I thought I could keep going.
And then I didn't know my limitations and it was already too late.
And boom, he got caught and the rest of the day.
And you're going to get caught when you act like that.
You're going to get caught eventually when you do something like that.
I had a guy that one of our competitors kept saying stuff about me.
Trashing me the last few weeks.
Okay.
Yeah, okay.
You know, this guy's this.
Let me do what he's going to do.
And then all of a sudden, yesterday, a story got exposed about him.
And I get a call from a couple of people saying, yo, yo, one of your guys did this.
I'm like, wait a minute.
What are we talking about here?
I don't know what you're talking about here.
I never knew this story, you know, until when?
Until yesterday.
He talked so much trash till the trash caught up to him.
And then his biggest trash, it got exposed to everybody.
When you play that game, you just got to be ready because it's going to backfire on you as well eventually.
So this ended up backfiring on him.
And it is what it is.
But I tell you, you know, talking to Jordan, you're going to be entertained.
He's going to tell some crazy story.
He's got some strong opinions.
And the guy was one or two decisions away from being a billionaire.
And if anybody knows that, I think he knows it himself on what happened.
And it would have been legit?
Yeah, it would have been a legit billionaire.
He would have been a legit billionaire.
Okay.
Let's talk about you will likely need to get a COVID shot to fly in 2021.
If you don't have a shot, there's a high likelihood you will not be able to get on a flight.
Yesterday, the top executives of Australia's largest airline said proof of getting COVID-19 vaccination will be necessary for boarding international flights in the future.
I think that's going to be a common thing talking to my colleagues in other airlines around the globe, said Alan Joyce, CEO of Qantas, in an interview with Australians Nine Network.
The heads of major U.S. airlines will almost certainly reach the same conclusion.
On a call with investors back in April, Ed Bastein, the CEO of Delta Airlines, said that he would make whatever changes to the business model that would be necessary, including adopting the so-called immunity passport, if required by the U.S. government.
The majority of Americans support a strong, a no-proof of immunity, no ticket.
Let me read that one more time.
Majority of Americans strongly support a no-proof of immunity, no ticket.
Policy after COVID-19 vaccinations are widely available to the public.
Two-thirds say that one vaccinations are rolled out.
Once vaccinations are rolled out, airline passengers should be required to show proof of vaccination in order to fly, according to the latest Harris Pohl COVID-19 tracking survey.
What do you think about that?
Welcome to more of your freedoms being taken away.
I mean, there's going to be people that don't want to take the vaccination.
You're not allowed to fly.
You're not allowed to travel.
I agree with international travel.
If you're going to Australia on Qantas, you probably have to show that you have, you know, you're negative.
You just took a test or that you have been vaccinated or not.
But it's no way the domestic airlines can do that, can legislate that on a daily basis here in the U.S.
I don't like it.
Well, it's starting with international airlines.
They're saying that they wanted to get to a point where it's also travel, period, domestically, not just internationally.
When he said, when the Delta CEO said he's willing to adjust his business model, that means raise prices on flights.
What do you think?
What do you think?
What are you going to do?
You can't fly if you don't have a vaccine.
What do you do?
I don't know how they're going to implement that so quickly.
What are you going to do?
What'd you say?
We're getting our own plane.
You're getting your own proof.
But really, what do you do?
I like how Sam thinks.
Hang on one second.
What'd you say?
What about people who can't take it for health reasons?
That's exception.
That's an exception to the rule.
You can get a doctor's note and you can still fly.
They're saying there's two exceptions.
One is that and the other one is a religious exception that you have.
But the flight.
Not how many people are going to be able to do that.
The flights still can say.
That's fine.
You got a religious, you know, what do you call it?
Like, you don't have to get the shot.
But they can still say exemption.
But they can still say you can't fly.
So imagine you're on a flight.
Let's just say they go to the point where you have to disclose to people who's taking a shot who's not taking a shot.
Think about it in a different way.
You go on a flight.
If you're wearing a red mask, you've taken a shot.
You've not taken a shot.
If you're wearing a green mask, you've taken a shot.
Look how weird that's going to be.
Imagine if they get to the point to say, if you don't take the shot, your passport says you haven't taken it, you have to wear a red mask.
And everybody looks at you, you didn't take the shot?
What is wrong with you?
Like, imagine if we get to that point.
But who can implement these rules?
The airlines?
Yes, the states?
The governments?
When did you think who could implement the rules to shut down restaurants?
When did you and I pre-2020?
That's the government, not the airlines.
But when you and I, pre-2020, dude, schools are right now talking about vaccines and they've been doing it for a while.
In the state of California, if your kids don't get the right vaccines, they don't have to send you to the school.
This is not a new thing.
And American people are saying, you know what?
It is what it is.
I got to follow it.
So for me, this is a little weird to get to the point where you want me to get a vaccine shot to get on a flight?
I'd love to hear what our people think of it.
What do you think about it?
So for everybody that's watching this, so you go on a flight, American Airlines, United Airlines, you say, you know, yeah, I'm flying to Palm Beach, I'm flying to New York, I'm flying to, you know, Kansas.
They say, have you taken a COVID shot, vaccine shot?
You say no.
They say you can't get on this flight.
Are you going to say?
Because you've already paid for the flight.
Yeah.
And you say, well, I'll go get the shot.
Or you say, hell no, I'm not getting the shot.
So if they say, no problem, you don't have to take the shot.
We don't have to be on this flight.
Are you A, going to try to protest and get this to change and it doesn't change?
Are you B going to say, everybody I go to nowadays, I'm going to travel through a car?
Like, what happens here?
You'll have to make the decision based on how much traveling you do.
I'll give you a scenario.
The other day, we had this story on VTPost.com is there was a flight from Salt Lake City to San Francisco.
A guy arrives at the gate late.
This is a Delta flight, by the way.
Didn't have a mask running up to the gate, refused to put one on, boards the plane.
So he gets on there, and then the flight attendants are saying, you have to wear a mask.
He continued to refuse.
This is the day before Thanksgiving.
You know, everybody wants to get to where they're going.
So he refused.
Finally, the captain came back there, and he still refused.
It got, you know, very, very testy.
The entire plane unloaded.
Everybody, every passenger walked off that flight.
Nope.
And then they were able to subdue him, pull him off.
He spent the night in jail.
He's from San Francisco.
He spent the night in jail in Salt Lake City.
So I think it's going to be like the Scarlet Letter.
This is so, you know, emotions are involved in this thing.
There are people that are just flat out crazy, will not come out of their house.
Rational, reasonable, high, powerful people that I know.
I talked to one yesterday, a sports executive at the highest level, who really is really concerned about COVID and is adjusting his life because of that.
When you get 300 people on a plane, it's going to be politicized.
It's going to get ugly.
I'm asking everybody here.
I'm asking you a question.
What are you going to do?
Because listen, we can all act tough.
You can act tough all you want and say, oh, you don't know what's going on.
So you can't fly.
I'm telling you, you cannot fly.
What do you do?
I'll start.
I'm not going to try to act tough.
I would get the exemption.
I know a lot of doctors, or I would do the religious thing.
I would get the exemption.
What would you do?
As a devout Orthodox Jew, I cannot stop.
I go to temple every Saturday.
Okay.
I cannot take the shot.
Which temple, by the way?
What's the temple Beth Jewish?
He's got the accent.
Temple, but I'm Jewish.
Let me ask you this.
What if the exemption, religious exemption, is not going to prove?
You have to have the shot.
What do you do?
I take the shot if I have to.
Okay, okay.
So he says yes.
Oh, wait, wait, but he went first.
We got a guy.
What are you going to do?
I'm just driving, baby.
I'm driving.
I'm Ubering around.
Uber everywhere.
You being sarcastic or serious?
I would eventually take the shot.
What are you going to do?
I would eventually.
Not first.
See what happens first.
Wait a bit.
And if I have to fly, then I might concede and eventually.
What's your timeline, Kyle?
What's your timeline?
Six months, 12 months.
How long are you waiting?
I'd say six to 12 months to see how the first round goes.
What do you think?
What are you going to do?
I think I'll wait like six months.
Same?
Six or twelve months?
Yeah.
Taking it as long as soon as they tell me I have to take it.
I'm in the military.
So for you, military, we have the activity.
Real quick.
Real quick.
Eric Galera, right there, 30 years old.
It was his birthday.
That's right.
Happy birthday to Eric.
He's an absolute stud.
He's part of the 3% movement.
Absolutely.
Happy birthday.
Yeah, absolute stud.
Go ahead, Kai.
I'd probably seem as Tom first, try to get exemptions, and then after that, I'd wait it out, kind of depending on how long.
What would you do, Pat?
What would Pat do?
Well, I mean, what you're saying on what I would do, and I'm being very serious with you, but this is like not an unfair comment that I'm going to make.
It's going to come across as, you know, chauvinistic.
I'm going to have to buy a jet.
I'm not being sarcastic.
I'm actually being very serious.
I'm going to, because now I got.
We got word the other day.
We go to the doctor and the doctor says you're having twins.
Okay.
Muscle tough.
So muscle tough.
Yeah.
So I got three.
I got potentially two underway.
I got my 78-year-old dad.
I got Melva.
What am I going to do?
Am I going to, I don't know.
It's going to be very uncomfortable for me.
But for me, if I'm somebody that's forced to take a shot, you know, if you're in the military, you're forced to take shots regularly.
You don't have a choice.
We took shots regularly.
And we got tested on first before everybody else got tested on.
They would say, there's no results on this.
There's a risk.
Sign this over you.
Take the shot.
So we did that, right?
Some of the side effects worked positively for me.
So whatever it was, I'm like, give me some more dosage of this.
You know, whatever it was.
I learned that yesterday.
They give you a shot in boot camp.
Of course.
But you can't get a heart on for three months.
Of course.
Is that right?
That makes sense.
I never thought of that.
Said it's two conspiracies, two.
One is a shot, the other one is a punch.
The punch you drink, they put things in it for you not to get a testosterone.
Anti-vias.
Because I know some very, very attractive females that have gone into like the reserves where they've had to go to basic training.
How did you survive?
I mean, I can't imagine the relentless.
Well, no, no, she didn't survive.
I just want you to know.
There's no shot for that.
No, She got hit up by everybody because if you're attractive in the military, you're officially a drop that gorgeous model times 100 in a military.
And you're going to get hit up by everybody.
And the opposite is the men in the military are attractive.
It's good-looking men who are athletic, who work out.
So it's like, if you're looking for attractive men with a lot of testosterone, I just went to this party, actually, in Hungary.
It was a sick party.
Speaking of attractive party.
Let's talk about it.
Let's talk about it.
It was for Eric's birthday.
And by the way, this next story, if you don't like crude stories, skip this one here.
But I think you're going to.
This is not a spoof.
This is a real story of what happened yesterday.
It was the most number one trending story on Business Insider, and it has nothing to do with business.
It's a number one story.
He was taking care of business.
He was, but it's the number one Business Insider trending story yesterday.
An anti-gay Hungarian politician has resigned after being caught by the police fleeing a 25-man orgy through a window.
You have to realize, like, that's like a movie.
That's like that.
That doesn't make any sense.
Let me read that one more time.
An anti-gay Hungarian politician has resigned after being caught by the police fleeing a 25-man orgy through a window.
An ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban resigned from the European Parliament after attending what was described as a 25-man orgy in Brussels.
Joseph Sazar quit as an MEP on Sunday and later said he was present at a private party.
The police found him and 24 other naked men at gathering, including diplomats, and local reports said he played a key role in the urban government crackdown on LGBTQ community rights in Hungary.
A source close to the investigation told political department officers were called after complaining about a nighttime disturbance.
I deeply regret violating the COVID restrictions.
It was irresponsible on my part.
I'm ready to stand for the final find that occurs.
He announced his resignation, and obviously the rest is history.
Adam, I think it's important for you to take it forward.
When we were going down the list, because Kai usually makes the topics that we thought you guys were pulling a job.
I thought we were pulling a job.
I was like, Kai, what the hell is this?
I seriously thought they were like pulling.
I'm like, none of this.
This is a real story.
This is ridiculous.
So I thought Kai was pranking us.
So a couple of things.
Let me just start off with the old Seinfeld episode.
And he was gay.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Unless you are an anti-gay marriage politician in Hungary who's secretly involved in a gay orgy, a gorgie.
And this is hypocrisy at its finest.
And then I kind of digged a little deeper, you know, because, you know, for some reason, I was like, I got to know more, bro.
He said, look, you know, I violated COVID restrictions.
My bad.
You know, you were there, Tom.
You know what I'm saying?
He said, well, look, you know, I had an ecstasy pill in my pocket.
It might have been something.
I'm like, listen, dude.
You're screwing up.
Listen, buddy.
I partied in South Beach.
I may or may not have taken an ecstat pill in my day, okay?
What happens is when you take an ecstasy pill, you go out, you go to the dance party, you have a good time, you know, you meet some chicks, you don't end up at a gorgie, okay?
That's just not, so don't blame it on the ecstatic ecstasy pill, homie.
You're a gay dude who hates yourself, and you're fighting against anti-gay marriage in Hungary of all places.
And it's just hypocrisy.
He jumped out of the window.
Jumped out of the window, naked.
Naked.
He jumps out of the window naked.
Is this real life right now?
And meanwhile, to be honest, he is fighting against gay rights.
Meanwhile, he's involved in a naked Hungarian gang bang.
You know, I'm going to stay with my initial theory, the stay in your lane, you know, just like Bitcoin.
I left it to the experts.
Or geez, I'm going to leave it to the two experts here.
All right.
So you guys handled that perfectly.
But I will say this.
Kai, pull up the story we did on VT Post yesterday.
Writing these headlines, I never had more joy and satisfaction than using the word orgy headline.
I mean, you don't get to do that every day.
Our country's out of control.
At least Biden and Trump aren't having orgies with two dozen other people like this goof in Hungary.
That's what he looks like.
You got the Hungarian.
So here's the question.
Here's the question.
Here's the most entertaining question.
Would I go to the party?
Sure.
Mario, where you at, bro?
No, this is the question.
This is the question.
How many of our audience are going to this party?
Have you ever had an embarrassing moment that happens to one of your friends and you see him for the first time?
And the moment you see me, you got that smirk on your face.
You know that moment.
That's the word, bro.
Wait, wait, don't worry, you know what?
It's worse.
You were involved in the embarrassment.
You show up and you're friendly.
You know, he's doing it.
So then you see him.
So you see him.
So you see him.
I mean, imagine you're his buddy.
What do you do when you see him?
Like, dude.
Anything new?
What's the first thing you tell?
What have you been up to lately?
Man, you mean you can we're home?
He's like, you know, you know, hopefully he's strategic because this dude's sitting on a gold mine.
I mean, telling his story a book or something.
My God.
He's not sitting on a gold mine.
He's sitting on something else.
But, you know, it's a.
But it's one of those things when you're so anti-something.
I don't know.
These people are like, you got something going on behind the closet, you know, in the closet.
Something's going on here.
So you can't even say, I hope somebody prays for you.
I wonder if he's married, though.
You know, I was this close to not including it because it just sounds so absurd.
Kai.
Adam, he's married.
He's married.
He's married.
He's married to a woman.
Oh, a wife.
He has a female wife.
Be quiet.
No, he's married.
Be quiet.
No, he is.
What is married?
Wow.
He comes home to the wife.
What is she?
How'd you like my line?
He has a female wife.
Female wife.
You got to, you know.
The wife is probably like, I've known this entire time.
She's going to know.
No wonder you can't, you know.
But I got this extra gravity doesn't work.
His wife's going to tell him, hey, you can go on a helicopter ride with Onassis.
Go have fun.
Go.
Weird, weird story.
Let's wrap up this episode on more positive news.
I don't know where do you want to go with this, Pat.
I think we've got maybe like five minutes left.
I mean, dude, you got to move on to the next one.
You got all excited about this Hungarian story.
I know what I'm doing this weekend.
You were fired up about it.
I just think it's so freaking hip-hop.
Okay, pull up the number stats for smartphone sales.
Okay, smartphone sales.
Kai, should we play this card first before you do it to ask each other what percentage it is?
Why don't you ask us the question?
Because I haven't seen the data.
So here's what I did.
I'm concerned.
I'm deeply concerned about the smartphone market because to me, I think Apple has a monopoly.
I'm an Apple guy.
By the way, I got an email from a guy yesterday when we bashed Apple.
This guy sent an email, okay, who was, and I want to read this in full disclosure and I'm going to give him a shout out because I told him I'm going to share this.
He says, that's fine.
He sent the email.
He says, I'm a former Apple employee.
Okay.
He says, as a former Apple employee, I think they donate tons and tons of money.
No questions asked.
Anytime I donated a charitable organization, Apple matched it.
I forget what the limit was on that, but it was pretty high.
If I volunteered my time to a charitable organization, Apple would pay $30 an hour to work for a charitable organization.
This is a guy saying this to me, Craig C, okay, who said this about Apple.
So I want to say that to Apple if that's the case.
If there's anybody else that's working for Apple or ever worked at Apple that can validate that story that happened to you as well, I want to give the proper shout out to these guys if that's the case, okay?
So now, but I do have a concern.
I think the number one monopoly right now in America is Apple.
And it comes onto the smartphone game.
Monopoly is 50% plus, right?
We talked about that thing on the last podcast briefly with Tom.
And I said, let's get the stats.
So, what percentage of phones Americans use is iPhone?
What percentage is another phone?
What do you think it is?
You got Samsung.
I can't even, I can only name two Samsung and Apple.
And I'm just basing this on the people I know and the phones I see.
I'm going to say it's 74% Apple.
74.
What do you think it is?
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
We're saying that 50% is a monopoly.
Yeah.
And what percentage of Americans using Apple?
You said 70%.
I'm going to start the video.
Two more minutes, Brad.
Go ahead.
What do you think it is?
I don't think it's a monopoly yet because I think it'll be more in the news, but it's damn close.
I'm saying something in the low 40s.
42%.
Okay.
All right.
I don't know the number, but I have to say it's more than 50%.
I'm going to say it's 60% is what I'm going to say.
55, 60%.
Let's go to the data.
I'm curious.
Strong roll, please.
What do we got here, Kai?
What is the number?
45.
Got it.
Wow.
Okay.
Well, listen.
Good for them.
What are our favourite for them?
So what's the number of them?
45%?
Then they're not a monopoly.
Okay.
45%.
I said they were dangerous.
Watch this.
40%.
No, no, no.
But watch.
Watch the number.
42-3-43-343-544-245-145-245-345-4.
45.
Yeah.
It's not looking good for anybody else.
And now BlackBerry, and our BlackBerry is out the game, and BlackBerry is doing what?
BlackBerry's what's the thing about BlackBerry?
BlackBerry spikes record 65% after finalizing a deal with Amazon for automotive data software.
BlackBerry Surgette, you know, their software called Ivy, allows automakers to read vehicle sensor data and improve systems and performance according to press release.
The stock's leap is its biggest one-day gain on record and places shares at their highest level since April 2019.
BlackBerry was known as a cell phone company.
Now they're selling intelligent vehicle data platform.
So my concern is: if Apple has got 45.3, how many more years till they cross that 50%?
Or do you think Tim Cook intentionally keeps it below 50%?
It's kind of like the App Store.
They were at 30% fee and they reduced it to 15%.
He does not want to cross that.
He doesn't know that.
There's the rest of the world that you can work on the numbers.
He does not want to crack that 50% number.
It's kind of like we said yesterday that Amazon is rooting for Target.
Apple is probably rooting.
Come on, BlackBerry.
Smash something.
Come on, Samsung.
They're coming out with a new phone, right?
Samsung.
I mean, Apple's strategy is you need a new one every year.
So you don't need to be over 50%.
Come on, Hungarian.
Okay, awesome.
Well, we covered a bunch of different things.
Obviously, Adam's favorite topic was the Hungarian brother who had an interesting weekend for himself.
But we had a lot of topics to cover.
