1:45:15 Let's Go Adam
I'm just like studying his charisma, his ability to stay in character.
We are officially live with MSM Sappala, seven figures in the house, great to be here with Gerard in the house.
If Gerard's in the house, that means we're making progress with Mafia States of America.
Exactly.
There you go.
We're making progress.
Two hours of sleep was here at 4 o'clock in the morning.
This guy was French pressing his own coffee right here.
I asked him for a cup.
He tried to sell it to me for $7.
That's capitalism at his finest.
The fact that he's taking a break today, him and Kai are doing a merch drop.
Okay, I just want to let you know that there will be a surprise merch drop, which is going to get you going crazy.
I guarantee you're going to crack up for a fact.
These guys went creative, so can't wait to see what it is.
I want to sign.
You know what?
You may get it.
You may get it signed.
That is true.
I'm pretty sure we can make that happen.
I think we can make it happen.
Are we willing to give any updates on the Mafia States?
It's up to you.
The update is: there's a few moving parts we got, a few moving parts we got, but I can tell you what it looks like right now.
I watched an episode the other day.
I'm sitting there with my dad, and I'm going through one of them.
And Tico and Dylan are sitting there.
And for 15 minutes, Michael and Sammy are going at it.
It is absolutely intense.
I had to step away from the kids to go.
And Dylan says, Daddy, isn't that Sammy?
Isn't that Sammy the ball?
I said, how do you know him?
Well, he was at the house, and I got a chance to talk to him because Sammy, when they were in town for the podcast, they stopped by the house.
Of course.
Dylan's memory is on a whole different level.
Anyway, so we got a lot of stuff coming on.
We had conversations with both Michael and Sammy.
We got to get a couple things to get comfortable with.
But at any moment, we may do an emergency podcast.
And if we do an emergency podcast, folks, it's because we're either launching it or we have some major announcements about Mafia States America.
So hang tight.
A lot of stuff is coming together.
We have to give Paul the Unifier a lot of respect because he brought the whole team together.
He brought the whole team together.
Rose is a rock star.
Eric, you, Mario, just great stuff.
See what's happening.
TV average stuff.
You're legendary when it comes to emergency calls, emergency conference calls, emergency podcasts.
It's true.
That is true.
That is true.
You have probably more experience than anybody else with all the emergency calls that we host.
Anyways, okay, so let's get into it.
We got a lot of topics.
We got a lot of topics.
There's a couple things I want to share with you.
There's a story I shared yesterday that went viral on Twitter.
This teacher that failed the entire class.
We'll go through that.
We'll take a look at global inflation rates, and you're going to be blown away who U.S. is tied with today, which is pretty insane.
Innovas Cantor, whom I texted, and we're trying to figure something out to get him back on the podcast on dates depending on when he's playing Miami.
I didn't see anything on the calendar that he's playing Miami anytime soon.
They just played.
That's right.
They just played.
He just called out LeBron in the worst way and over Nike, China.
And then LeBron accidentally hits another guy in the face from Detroit.
Isaiah Stewart, he calls it accidentally.
Isaiah Stewart didn't take it well.
He wanted to crush the guy.
But anyways, he got suspended one game and the guy got suspended two games, Isaiah.
So we'll talk about that maybe.
A TV host flew 10,000 miles for an exclusive interview with Adele, and she canceled it last minute because he didn't listen to it.
Get to know who you're interviewing.
Black Santa are appearing in U.S. Disney parks this season for the first time.
So history is being made.
Adam's story will cover that.
Bill Maher stands up for Dave Chappelle to Chris Cuomo's face blast trend of kids choosing their gender.
This is not crazy stuff that makes you a bigot.
And then Bucks Antonio Brown obtained alleged fake COVID-19 vaccine cards from teammate.
We'll cover that as well.
Kyle Rittenhouse, obviously, we got to cover what happened.
His interview yesterday with Tucker.
Tucker Carlson comments were made here.
Was he coached?
He was coached well.
Adam didn't like an analogy with Michael Jordan.
These other things up, maybe we'll get into.
But Adam has a hard time with analogies lately.
Adam's been a little bit off the last few weeks, but we'll help him out.
We'll help him out.
A few weeks.
Army bars vaccine refusers from promotions and re-enlistment as deadline approaches.
AOC says progressives' help wasn't wanted in Virginia governor race.
Not a single person called us or asked us to email.
Mansion worries Biden's social spending agenda costs too much.
New poll shows that how much the country wants Trump to run again.
This is an Adam story.
And then Beto O'Rourke says Texas governor campaign won't be about Biden slams president on immigration.
Interesting.
Okay.
So let's get, let's start.
Let's start off with a very simple story with Adele and what happened with Adele on page four.
Can you imagine like you're planning this big interview?
Okay.
I'm going to go interview Adele and you're telling your family, friends, I'm flying out to interview Adele.
And you're interviewing, getting ready to interview her, and they ask you, have you listened to the album?
And you say no.
So a TV host flew 10,000 miles from an exclusive interview with Adele, only to have it canceled after he said he hadn't listened to her new album.
This is an insider story.
Matthew Doran or Duran, I lived on Duran Street, the host of Channel 7's The Weekend Sunrise show, flew to London from Sydney, a journey about 10,000 miles on November 4th to interview Adele in her only album interview, only the only album interviewed with an Australian outlet.
During the interview, when asked by Adele what he thought of the new album, Doran said he hadn't listened to it yet.
The singer was offended.
The interview ran to completion.
But Sony, which owns Adele's music, later told Channel 7 that it was withholding the rights to the interview footage as a result of Duran's oversight.
Several reports said Duran was subsequently suspended by Channel 7, but Duran said that he wasn't formally suspended, but he was off the air for one week.
So the total package for the rights for Adele's interview footage, which included access to the video from Oprah Winfrey one night only with Adele, cost the channel, cost Channel 7, ready?
$725,000.
No problem.
That's a Channel 7, 725.
Matt, what do you think about this?
You've had me interview people on behalf of PHP.
You've had me interview Bo Jackson.
You had him interview General Mad Dog Mattis.
Which you crush, by the way, both of them.
I appreciate that.
But I'm following your model because every time I see you do an interview, I see you consume content.
I see you read books.
I see you have your team gives you a package.
And before you're about to interview some, so just watching your behavior before you interview somebody, it's just doing your homework.
Listen, we're no professional journalists, but it's just common sense.
If you're going to interview something and a company's investing $750,000 in your career could be made because of this interview, and you failed to do the basic thing in terms of getting to know the person that you're interviewing, I think it's improper.
It was definitely something that I'd be professionally embarrassed about if I wasn't prepared to interview somebody.
I asked Rogan, I said, Rogan, how do you prepare for interviews?
He says, some of them I do, some of them I don't.
Some of them I just go in.
Some of them I consume a lot of books and stuff to get in.
And some of them I just go in because I want to have a conversation with them.
But Rogan didn't ask Spotify to pay Adele $725,000.
If a company you work for is paying somebody that you're going to interview 725,000, you better take care of that.
I mean, you're a significant person.
I don't know.
That is irresponsible to me.
It's also not like some esoteric indie artist that, like, you know, their agent just shoved in front of you and you got to like feign interest in this person.
Like, oh, yeah, no.
Loved your hit song on TikTok there, 19-year-old.
No, like, you know, like, I remember when Bad Baby was coming out and they were trying to make her like a Don't You Talk trash about Bad Baby, buddy.
Danielle Regal was trying to protect the people trying to catch the music outside, buddy.
And every talk show she went on was like, We love you and your music.
Who is this?
Yeah.
Like, yeah, no, you're great.
And you were raised really well.
Yeah, for sure.
They all had to figure out a way to get through it.
This is Adele.
And this is a landline moment.
This is bro.
Dude, I love Adele so much.
I was just trying to show Tyler.
My first quote-unquote viral video, the first video that got me anywhere on the internet was me with Funny or Die as Adele.
I was dressed as Adele for Funny Your Die.
You got to be kidding me.
That's me.
This is when Adele was a little bit bigger.
Yeah, of course.
She lost a lot of weight.
Yeah, man.
That's beautiful.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what?
Thank you.
Thank you, man.
It's gorgeous.
You know, I'm the world's most beautiful MMA.
What do you think about this?
What do you think about this?
We got to give.
Look, we all know Adele.
I don't think we need to listen to her new album to ask her a couple questions.
We know the biggest thing she's doing is she's dating LeBron's agent these days, Rich Paul.
Did you know about that?
Of course.
Okay, that's a little bit bigger news.
But this guy, he came from Australia, Sydney, Australia, flew to London.
Do you familiar with what's going on in Australia these days?
They've been on lockdown like crazy.
This guy's just excited to get the frick out of the house for the first time in two years.
And he gets out of house and he gets packaged up, re-sent back to Sydney to Convict Island.
I feel bad for this guy.
Should he have been more prepared?
If you were on a plane for 20 hours and it never even occurred to you to listen to my album, I'd be pissed off too.
Go get yourself some fish and chicken.
How did they get out?
She could die a little bit.
I listened to the album, right?
Just come on.
I mean, imagine somebody comes to interview you, Pat.
They come from all over.
Pat, I'm a huge fan.
I come to interview you.
I'm coming all the way from Australia.
Awesome, dude.
Sit down.
So, Patrick, what's your last name?
Enjoy all your work.
What do you do?
Like, I can see that.
She should be a fan.
Yeah.
By the way, I want to show you.
So, Sunday night, Gerard's at the house.
You guys left very early at like 1:30, whatever the time was.
But we're having conversations.
Originally, there's movies I want to get the kids prepped for.
We were watching Gladiator.
A couple scenes they probably shouldn't have watched, but it is what it is.
That night, I made it TG8.
But I show him a clip of The Rock when he showed up to RNC, Republican National Convention in 2000, which I don't know if you know this or not.
And he was interviewed, and a similar situation happened as with Adele.
So if you can make this, this is C-SPAN, make it bigger first, make it bigger first.
So C-SPAN you can show because it's taxpayers' money paying C-SPAN.
Watch what happens when this guy's interviewing The Rock and he has no clue who The Rock is and The Rock gets pissed.
Listen.
Looks like Steve is successful.
Let's try.
There we go.
This is an Adele situation from The Rock had hair.
Let's listen in.
50 pounds of money.
I'm going to show you my naivete, all this crowd around you, and I had no idea who you are.
Who is The Rock?
Oh, it's okay.
Well, I didn't know who you either, so I guess we're kind of even.
Who is The Rock?
The Rock is the most electrifying man in Sports Entertainment, the WWF champion.
Rock is here representing the people, being the people's champion as well.
And then, again, not necessarily to try and sway votes towards the Republican candidate or the Democratic candidate for that matter, as much as he is just here to make sure that the 22 million viewers, The Rock reaches every single day.
22 million views.
You have to put it there.
What do you think of all this?
This crowd.
It stays in character the whole time.
Yeah, he does.
Luckily, we have a spokesperson for The Rock, Rock's little cousin.
What did Pitbull say?
Pitbull said, You look like Rock's cousin's cousin of that.
I told him on the Walmart Target version.
At your birthday party, I always thought you were Tongan or Simone or something.
At your birthday party, when you told me you were Filipino, I was like, what are you like?
Two Filipinos in an overcoat or something like that?
You're the biggest Filipino on earth.
You should be the starting center on the Olympic team.
Well, nowadays.
What are you lifting nowadays, by the way?
What are you hitting nowadays?
Are you squat on like four or five plates?
What are you hitting bench?
What's some of the numbers you're doing right now?
Yeah, with reps.
I mean, I'm doing 415 deadlifts, you know, rep and 315 on bench.
And, you know, I'm not doing any squats, but I do the leg press.
So they got the leg press machine.
You put both racks.
Yeah.
You can rack them.
I think I'm up to 15 plates on 15 racks.
Yeah, 1545s.
1545s.
315 on the bench press for long arms.
That's real good.
Yeah.
So if Lizzo ever lays on top of you, you can get out.
So that's 30 plates total.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
So, so, and I think what we're all agreeing with here with the story of Adele is the fact that stupid movement.
Also, Adele is classic, classic of there's no such thing as ugly, you're just broke.
Would you say Adele is the Michael Jordan of something?
Or would that totally like offend you if I think it's one of those things where, in my humble opinion, amazing voice, like the voice itself.
Yeah.
But if I have a hundred songs to listen to to get me in a good mood, Adele's not, she's going to make me cry.
Oh, hello.
25 is 25.
It's just, it's not for me.
But Gerard dresses up as Adele for fun, apparently.
So maybe that's a little more your vibe.
I got great banter, but I asked him this morning what's his favorite workout song.
I'm posting something in IG.
I said, give me a workout song.
Give me a work song.
You know what he says?
I'm thinking like intercept.
You know what he says?
More Mario.
He says Barbie Girl.
What?
Say something about it, bro.
Okay, incline buffer chest.
I saw this man sing frozen on stage at a karaoke, at a karaoke event.
So Gerard's very much in touch with his feminine side.
It's a beautiful thing.
So, okay, now let's go into the next story.
This next story is the teacher.
Let's talk about the teacher with the teacher that sent that message out.
By the way, for the people that follow Snopes, I don't care whether this is true or if it's not true.
All I care about, the principle of the story, is absolutely fascinating.
I read this the other day.
It says the teacher fails the entire class.
Okay, teacher fails an entire class.
An economic professor at a local college made a statement that she had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one else would be poor and no one would be rich.
A great equalizer.
The professor said, okay, we will have an experiment in this class on this plan.
All grades will be average and everyone will receive the same grade.
No one else will fail and no one will receive an A. Substituting grades for dollars, something closer to home and more readily understood at all.
After the first test, the grades were average and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
At the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less.
And the ones who had studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too, so they studied little.
The second test average was a D.
No one was happy.
When the third test rolled around, the average was an F. As the test proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame, and name-calling all result in hard feelings, and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, all failed.
And the professors told them that socialism would also ultimately fail when the reward is great, the efforts succeed, et cetera, et cetera.
Then he makes five, she makes five points.
Okay, these are the five points.
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
We've heard that before.
Number two, what one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving.
Number three, the government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from someone else.
That's pretty tough for some people to understand.
Number four, you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
And number five, when half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good work, good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
Do you love this professor?
Professor or do you love this project?
Respect to this professor.
Is that the professor with the mask on, or is that just a random person?
I think that's just an add that because it said she.
So the teacher is a woman instead of a man.
So what are your thoughts on this?
I mean, look, it's one of those things where socialism sounds great in theory, right?
All these kids in the class had, oh, socialism sounds great.
But when put into practice, it ain't so much fun, right?
Especially for the kids that are trying hard.
They're trying to get good grades and are putting in the effort.
So I love that he broke it down into these five principles.
At the end of the day, I think there was a poll out there.
This is maybe six months ago.
And half the country, young people, thought that socialism was a better people under 24.
64%.
Was it that much?
The Harvard poll thought that socialism was a better system than capitalism.
Because they haven't been in the workforce.
Okay, exactly.
So it's one of those things where in theory something sounds good, but when you actually practice it, not as much.
And they've been around, so these kids get indoctrinated by teachers and the teachers, the modern teacher, and I've got teachers in my family and they feel like I'm always going after them, but this is just truth, all right?
Every teacher I've ever met thinks that they are smarter than they get paid for, right?
And that's the basis of their ideology.
Their college professors specifically are resentful of the plumber or the truck driver that makes twice as much as they do because I'm the smart one.
So obviously the system is flawed because if it weren't flawed, then I would be the rich one and they would be my underling.
And it's like, dude, you don't understand.
What they don't understand.
And even if you've ever read Marx, what people don't get is you don't get paid for intellect.
You get paid for value.
You can either do something that nobody else in the world does.
You play basketball.
All of us play basketball.
None of us are in the top 1% of it.
So we don't get paid to play basketball, right?
LeBron James can get paid billions of dollars because he's number one.
Our friend Victor that you interviewed, he's a million-dollar backgammon player because he's the best in the world at it.
Everybody else plays backgammon.
It's been 20-some years.
Yeah.
We're doing a tour together with doubles in Vegas in January.
Dude, he's an awesome dude.
His wife's great.
But again, nobody else in the world is getting paid to play backgammon.
You got to be the best in the world at it.
So if you're not the best in the world at what you want to do, then you have to be willing to do what other people aren't willing to do.
Nobody wakes up in the morning and wants to be a plumber, but there's a lot of money because nobody wakes up in the morning and wants to be a plumber.
That's what these things, that's what these lessons don't teach, man.
And when you're looking at a situation like this, that really wasn't socialism so much as it was this egalitarian utopia, man, where it's like, we're all going to be the same together.
That's nonsensical.
I don't know if that's true, but I do know what is true.
What actually did happen in Michigan, and there was one in Brooklyn, there was a vegan Marxist restaurant where they wanted to eschew capitalism.
And they basically said, eat what you want, we'll make it.
Pay us what you think is right.
Men, whatever you think is right.
Women, you got to pay 22% more than women do to make up for the waste.
They're gone.
They're out of business.
Like, it's the most predictable out-of-business thing.
And then they blame capitalism for them being out of business.
Well, we can't compete because the prices keep rising.
Okay.
Guys, this is market leverage.
What do you think about it?
When I think about things like this, I default to my favorite books of the Bible, which is Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.
Why?
Because it's written by the richest king, wisest king who ever lived.
And here's what he says about this.
Proverbs 13, chapter 4, he says, the soul of the lazy man desires and has nothing, but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
So it depends on how you want to attack life.
You want to go and attack life and say, oh, I want everybody else to help me out, but I'm willing to contribute back to society.
Well, you should not get back anything in return.
But if you want to contribute back to society, you want to be diligent.
You're getting up, you're doing your part.
And that's probably one of the hardest things because you mentioned earlier that what's the biggest platform today?
The people who are lazy, the people want to complain.
That's who's got the biggest platform.
I had the greatest compliment the other day on my YouTube channel at Seven Figures Class.
Somebody says, Mr. Wanted to be junior value attainment.
What was that supposed to be?
You guys are rich because you have no college degree.
So why are you getting mad at us?
Yeah.
Why are you getting mad at us?
Let me ask you something on that because I don't think we throw around this word lazy.
I don't think they're lazy.
I just don't think they don't want to do what they, anything they don't desire doing.
Like they'll win nobody hard as who wants to do that.
What's the difference?
I feel like is the difference.
I don't know if that's Instagram.
I don't know if that's a good question.
Let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you guys a question.
So here's a question for you.
Okay.
What will make you vote for Biden?
Okay.
What will make you vote for Biden?
What has to be, and for you, the question is, what will make you vote for Trump?
Okay.
Hear me out where I'm going here.
So just think about for whoever that voted against Biden or whoever that voted against Trump, you got to ask the question, at what level will you vote for the opposition?
Okay.
So for me, if you look at AOC, here's how AOC works.
There's a part I relate to AOC.
This is why I relate to AOC.
AOC, do you think she supports what Biden is doing right now?
No, she's actively.
We're going to talk about that here in a minute.
It's absolutely preserved.
She's not happy with Biden, right?
The AOC, the Ilhan Omar, all those guys.
The far left.
So when it comes down to voting, who is she going to vote for?
Trump?
No.
Or is she going to vote for Biden?
No, no.
Okay, so now watch this year.
Watch this here.
For me, okay?
I don't like half the stuff that happens where the divisiveness and constant creating new enemies that maybe Trump takes the route and he's constantly going after him, right?
But when it comes down to it, I'm going to vote for whoever's for lower taxes, lower regulation, eliminating censorship.
So that's where it goes to, okay, here's what I'm going to go.
As a registered independent for the last 10 years, this is where I'm going.
I'm a libertarian.
We've not yet seen a solid George Orgenson.
When I sat down with Ron Paul and we did the interview, you and I were there together, and I think it was in Houston when we did the interview.
It was incredible by the time you're done.
You're like, this guy makes a lot of sense.
But the question is, at what point will somebody in your party come out where you're going to say, I'm voting for the person you would least vote for?
In this instance, it's Biden and Trump.
I'm going to go with you first.
So who needs to be on your side of the aisle, which is let's just say the left, the center left, who needs to be on your side of the aisle?
We're going to say, you know what?
Screw it.
I'm not going to vote for anybody on the left.
I'm going to go vote for Trump.
Would anybody make you vote for him?
Repeat the question.
Would anybody be able to convince me?
No, no, let's just say the person that's running on your side is Betto, it's McConaughey, it's AOC, it's Manchin, it's whoever.
Who would need to be the nominee on the left for you to say, I'm sitting this one out, I'm actually going to vote for Trump on this one?
See, maybe the bigger question is, would I vote for a Republican?
No, no, this specific specific.
So this specific question I'm asking you, like for them, if I say Clinton, they're going to say, yeah, I have no problem voting for Bill Clinton.
To this specific example, it is Biden and it is Trump.
The reason why I'm using this example is the follow-on reason.
Is Biden's probably the least Democratic president Republicans would want, okay?
Probably worse than Carter, okay?
But many Republicans were okay with Bill Clinton.
So, and on the Democratic side, Trump is probably the least candidate you would want on the opposite side.
Maybe you would be comfortable with a Reagan, hypothetically, right?
Versus a Trump.
What I'm asking is who needs to be on your side of the aisle to say, I think it's crossed the line.
I'm probably going to go vote for Trump.
Who would it be?
You're saying running against Trump?
Pose the question specifically.
I've asked it four times.
You're trying to get me to ask Biden.
I've asked this thing four times.
Did you get my question or not?
No, no, no.
There's literally nobody that you would detest so much on the Democratic side that would make you be like, nah, you know what?
Trump's Elon Omar was not.
Anything on the 10% left country?
So who would make you say, I'm going to vote?
I'm actually going to support Trump.
Candidate was equally as divisive as Trump.
My whole thing is we all like, look at us.
We can all get along.
We can all have dinner.
We can all have lunch.
We can all get along.
We're America.
Okay.
He's a Marine.
He's a talented guy.
He's a businessman.
I mean, like, we all have a Christian, man of the class.
That's what I'm saying.
A Jewish, a Christian.
Like, we're not as divided as the media or politics want us to be.
I don't disagree.
Like, what we need in this country is someone who's.
Let me go back to the question.
Can't we all just sit down and have a basic niceness towards each other?
Let me go back to the question.
But Trump doesn't bring that out of the question at all.
For the fifth time.
This is where the audience gets upset sometimes because you don't answer questions.
No matter what you say, you're not going to convince me to vote for fucking Trump.
So whatever way we want to do that.
The way that is the question, by the way, I'm not going to say you got me, Badi.
FYI.
That's when you lose people, brother.
That's when you lose people.
Because I'm not willing to do that.
No, no, no.
No, let me explain to you why you lose people there.
If you're saying an AOC or Ilhan Omar, I'm not interested in them either.
This is where your argument loses because you lose credibility.
Because I'm not willing to succumb to Trump.
If you ask me a question and you say a guy like an Alex Jones is the face of the right, and I got Biden on the other side, I'm probably going to say, I have no clue what this guy's going to do.
I'm going to have to consider that vote.
But to you, it's hard to have logic to say, here's what would make me say I'm going to go this way.
Even right now, I'll give you an idea.
Kodak Blue the other day tweets out.
I don't know if you guys saw Kodak Blue's.
Kodak Black.
Kodak Black.
Kodak Blue.
Kodak Black said.
Come down here, pumping up.
Yeah, he just tweets out the other day.
Did you see the tweet?
Here's what Kodak said the other day.
He said, it's not coming up.
Come on, Kai.
Oh, sorry about that.
Okay, Kodak Black sends a tweet and he says, You guys want to, it's not working for you?
You got to be kidding me.
It's just the basic question.
By the way, I'm just curious, Adam.
How much of your decision-making process goes with percentage-wise, goes with voting for policy versus the person?
I'm just curious.
That's exactly where my next question was going.
I mean, I think it's 50-50.
I mean, maybe even more persona than policy.
I don't know how much does policy, how many people actually get down and dirty into people's policies.
I think people are what their platform is.
Yeah, I think most people are a one-issue voter or two-issue voter, and they're not, what's your number one issue?
See, I don't have family, I don't have kids, so I'm not as issue-oriented.
What were you going to change the name of your Twitter handle to be?
A centrist or a synergist?
Synergist?
Yeah.
That's what this country needs.
It's so.
That's not the question, though.
But that's the point.
But that's not the question, though.
This is the guy that's saying we need a synergist.
That's what I'm saying.
Okay, the story is not the same.
So we keep doubling down on Trump, doubling down on Trump.
Imagine if we had Trump president again.
Imagine we don't have Trump president again.
We have someone that actually the entire country actually likes, whether it's on the left or the right.
Then there can't be a reasonable conversation with you.
Why can't there be a reasonable conversation?
Because I just asked you a reasonable question and you can't give a reasonable conversation.
It's been eight minutes.
I'm moving the story.
I'm going to go to you.
So who needs to be on your side for you to say I would consider Biden?
Biden actually was probably my third or fourth choice out of the Democratic primary.
I'm much happier that Biden got in.
I thought for sure that they were going to try to shove Kamala Harris down her throat.
They still may.
It's not too late.
It's not too late.
You know, as far as, look, I don't like coercion.
When you get into the Democratic Party and you get into the coercive nature of what they are, anybody who increases wants, like what AOC, what we talked about, what we talked about this morning, AOC is going after Biden for not being a dictator, saying he has unilateral powers to do universal health care, to eliminate student debt.
She wants the president of the United States, with the stroke of his pen, to completely and totally nationalize entire.
She wants essentially the government, through one stroke of one person's pen, to nationalize entire verticals of our government and our economy.
The fact that she's saying that and she's lamenting the fact that he won't be a dictator terrifies me because they show their face.
So who would need to be on the right for you to say?
I remember, I didn't vote for Trump the first time.
I get that.
That's why I'm asking you.
So for you, who is too far right?
I was on the right.
I would have voted for Tulsi Gabbard in a heartbeat.
I would have voted for back in the day.
Remember Joe Lieberman?
I liked Joe Lieberman back in the day.
Interesting.
Like Joe Lieberman.
I thought Bill Clinton was a really, really – when you talked about Chris Christie, when I was with Christie, he was a synergist.
And Corey Booker wasn't this far-left socialist.
Corey Booker and Chris Christie worked like this, and they really did an unbelievable job for the city of Newark.
Then they got on a national scale, and they had to go to the extremes.
When I was younger, right?
And you guys are a little older than me.
You guys remember the way to win was to work towards the center.
Now the way to win seems to be to work towards the extremes.
They are terrified of their extremes.
I think it's because there's no money anywhere else.
Only the crazy and the greedy donate money.
Guys, normal everyday working Americans, they're not donating their time.
They're not out there volunteering.
They're not out there marching.
Lunatics are.
Lunatics are the ones that are filling the streets.
All right?
So that's where the political, you can't run a campaign without volunteers and money, and they have to go to the extremes to get this.
And I think that's what's pulling our politics.
You know what I like about Van Jones?
Let me tell you what I like about Van Jones.
Maybe that could be something as an inspiration for our buddy here.
Okay.
This is, I'm a Van Jones fan.
And Van Jones was a communist card holding guy years ago when he first was chosen to be part of Obama's, what do you call it, administration.
Within a week, they had to get him to be gone because the guy was a former communist.
He supported some of the principles of communism.
So he had to resign.
Well, do you remember when Trump went out there and he did what he did with prison reform and it was something that nobody had ever done and he came in and he fixed it and it was just absolutely berserk.
And Van Jones, if you guys don't remember this, can you click on Van Jones' Trump prison reform picture?
Wasn't Kim Kardashian somehow?
Oh, that's what I mean.
Yes, she was in a big way, but this is not even a Kim story.
This is about a Van Jones who hates Trump.
Okay.
Who hates Trump?
If you go to images, go to Christian on images, go to images and type in the picture right there.
The one to the left, the one to the left, right there.
Can you click on it?
Okay.
See if we can make that bigger.
All right.
See if you go a little closer.
Go a little closer.
We can't play that, can we?
So go back and go back and see if we can find another picture.
Okay, click on any one of those on the bottom right there to the right.
To the right.
Yeah, go click on that one, let's just say.
Okay.
Do you see who's standing behind that lady with the red jacket on?
Who is that?
It's Van Jones.
Who is he?
He's a hardcore Democrat, you know?
But he went to that.
And you know what he did on CNN that pissed off Cuomo and everybody else?
He started crying.
He started crying.
He says, because this is the first time I've seen a president be able to do something with prison reform.
You know what that's called?
That's called a synergist.
A synergist is not somebody that, no matter what, the guy cannot do anything right.
That's not a synergist.
So if you're talking about you wanting to be a synergist, Van Jones to me, who him and I disagree on 80% of things politically, I respect the shit out of this position here.
This is what we need.
FYI.
It's when I ask a question and here's what's said.
When I ask a question, so people ask me and they'll say, why do you interview so many communists?
You know how many people I've lost?
Because I interview communists?
Do you know how many people go read the comment section?
It's too bad, though.
Of any of the communists, I interview, see what they say at the bottom.
I say, I'm actually trying to see where we agree.
Where do we agree?
I want to understand you to get an idea of where we agree.
And if from there, you say, okay, I sat down with Alex Jones on 9-11.
You and I were there.
That interview was almost done with.
You remember when he started biting the apple?
We thought it's going to be done with.
He's going to walk off the set?
Yeah.
But we had the conversation, and what was the conversation about?
You pressed the hell out of him.
I pressed the hell out of him.
And he was unhappy about it.
So it wasn't like, well, hey, Alex, so tell me what a fantastic job.
You're pissing a lot of people off on the other side.
This is so cool, bro.
The guy wanted to leave.
He was not happy with us.
No, his handler was like, oh, let me ask you a question since he's at any point that you're interviewing these people.
Do you say?
That was a good point.
Actually, 1 million percent.
Okay, so 1 million percent.
You've said, hey, good point.
To communists.
Okay, exactly.
Yes.
So go with me now here.
So on individual points, you said, okay, check for the Karmarks.
But at any point, no matter how many points this guy's made, is there any chance that you're going to believe in communism and socialism?
Did you just hear my answer?
No, right?
But did you just see what you're doing?
Do you see what you're doing?
These two analogies have nothing to do with each other.
I didn't make an analogy, and I'm asking you a question.
You're making a point, right?
Without having answered the question yet.
So for you, the question that was asked on your end, you can't answer because to you, I see what you did there.
I see what you did there.
I was trying to make a valid analogy.
In your eyes, in your eyes, a man can't do anything right.
That's not, Pat.
That's not what I said.
Wait a minute.
That's not what I said at all.
I asked you what I said specifically was I will give Trump credit on certain things.
I like what he did in the Middle East.
I like what he did on deregulation, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be a Trump fan or vote for him.
Do you actually have agreed with certain socialist points?
This question is a lot of people.
But you wouldn't become a socialist.
This question I'm saying.
No, because I see what you did there, and that was good.
That was a good tactic.
Did what there?
Explain to me what did people.
I tried to make the same analogy that you made for me.
And in my mind, do you realize that?
It's a very simple analogy.
We've asked you six times the same question.
Okay, so I'll be very specific.
Either you say either you answer to have credibility to get a response from me, or you don't.
If you don't answer, you have no credibility.
Here's my disguster.
Here's my discussion.
It's that simple.
Are there things that Trump has done well?
Yes.
That's not the question, though.
So let's skip it if you don't want to answer the question.
I wouldn't vote for Trump.
I said it a million different times.
The question is: who on your side of the aisle needs to represent for you to say, I would actually entertain and oppose this.
Is a regular conversation.
You're saying, how bad does the Democratic candidate have to be?
Seven times the social.
Basically, would you vote for Omar or Donald Trump?
Well, let me ask you this.
I vote for George Organson.
Serious question.
How much of that is social equity?
Your friends, your family, the people that you associate with.
God forbid they ever found out.
I don't give two shits about you.
No, you're not.
Clearly, honestly.
Clearly.
I don't give two shits about what I'm saying.
No, no, what people think how I vote.
I don't care.
You're half my friends think that I'm a MAGA Trump guy because I'm on this channel.
And half the people think I'm a communist BLM.
I don't give a shit.
There's a person that's.
I'll explain why I asked that question.
It wasn't an accusation.
It's a serious question.
It's fun.
There's a person very, very close to me that I absolutely love who staunch, staunch, far left, basically her whole life.
Okay.
Came up through academia and made her career in it.
And over the course of the last 20 months, she's now moving in a direction.
I actually got a text from her.
She was like, you've been right about a lot of things.
It pains me to say that.
And I'm like, well, one more time.
I got to screenshot that there.
Now she can't be vocal about what she believes to be true.
That's the hardest part.
That's the hardest part.
She believes she'll be ostracized in her community.
Her friends will ostracize her.
She's seen cancel culture up close and personal.
She is literally a prisoner of...
And what's her community, though?
Uh...
Her community is academics.
Okay, so she's in the liberal Northeast academic community, I'm assuming.
Correct.
Yeah, when you insulate yourself into a bubble, that's what happens, whether you're on the left or the right.
See, this is where I got to disagree.
It might even be worse than the left.
Yeah, I got to disagree because my experience has been, especially in the entertainment industry, people on the right will have no problem hanging out with people on the left.
They have no problem hiring people on the left.
They have no problem being disagreed with in those instances.
Whereas the more progressive, quote unquote, the situation is, the job side is, or the environment is, they tolerate no blasphemy.
Yeah, but that's a recent thing, bro.
Nobody wouldn't hire you 10 years ago because you like George W. Bush.
I hear you.
It would have been irrelevant.
It's because of Trump.
What's interesting about that is that I actually didn't like George Bush.
I didn't like Dick Cheney.
And now Dick and Liz Cheney are pro-Biden.
Now all of a sudden, the progressives are on the side of the Warhawk Republicans.
It's the establishment.
It's a weird situation.
say it's a recent thing, that's why we're talking about it, because something is not passing the smell test.
This is not an okay thing.
And nobody's talking about it.
Do me a favor.
Do me a favor.
Pull up something here.
Pull up something here.
And we're going to go off the story and go to the next story.
Pull up power versus force.
Type in power versus force.
Okay.
And then click on images.
Click on images, top left.
And then click on the one with a button.
Click on that right there.
That's fine.
Make that bigger.
Okay.
Make that bigger.
See if you can click on it again.
Hopefully you can get.
Okay, fantastic.
So Adam, this is the challenge in America today.
Okay.
This book was written by David R. Hawkins.
I don't know how many years ago.
I read this 20 years ago.
So it's been around for a while, maybe 18 years ago, something like that.
So he talks about when we go from power, force to power.
Okay.
And force is obviously not a good thing to persuade people.
Your power, you can persuade people.
Lowest level of influence is shame.
Anytime you're coming from a place of shame, you have no ability to persuade.
You don't have any power.
No, you can't do nothing.
You're helpless, right?
Then it's guilt.
You feel guilty.
I feel guilty about what I did to her.
I feel guilty about what I did.
Then it's apathy.
Okay.
Then it's grief.
Then it's fear.
You have a lot of anxiety, but fear is still better than grief, apathy, guilt, and shame.
Then there's desire.
So constant sex, constant drugs, constant gambling, drinking.
Then it's anger.
Anger is still better than fear because at least you're expressing yourself to people, right?
Then you got pride, which is where many people on certain sides that don't want to politically sit and agree with anybody get stuck at this level pride.
First level of freedom and leadership is courage.
Having the courage to entertain what it would look like.
Maybe I'm not right.
Maybe I'm willing to entertain.
Then it's neutrality where let's have a neutral conversation.
Then it's willingness.
I'm willing to be entertained.
I'm willing to make this work.
I'm willing to have a relationship with Gerard.
I'm willing for us to like, we'll have a conversation together.
We're willing.
You're willing?
I'm willing.
We can make this thing go places.
But if you're not willing and I'm willing, there's no way this thing can work, right?
Then there's acceptance.
Then level 400 is what?
Reason.
What is reason?
Reason is what we try to do on this podcast.
We try to reason.
Reason is when I interview somebody and we like to reason with each other.
We sit down, we have a conversation.
Favorite conversations in the world are people that are willing to reason with you.
After reason is love, which we love you.
So that's the foundation of it.
Then it's joy, peace, enlightenment, which will never reach that level of enlightenment just to kind of give you a score.
They score people.
Einstein scored like a 499.
Okay.
Gandhi and then they'll put them at a different level.
They got Mother Teresa is bliss slash slight enlightenment.
Jesus is obviously a thousand.
He scores it, all that in that level.
Have you done a score?
Have I done my score?
Yeah, I've done my score.
And Robert O'Rourke did my score before I did my score.
He came up to me the other day.
He says, Do you know what your score is?
I'm like, I don't know what my score is.
How did you do your score?
Anyways, there's a way of doing it.
The point isn't about where I'm at or where you're at, where anybody's at.
I think the challenge is if we're going to make progress, we have to have the courage to be neutral and willing to accept certain things were wrong and others and then find a way to reason.
And if we can figure out a way to love, well, then we can make some progress there.
So, how do you get people to go to shift from force into power?
That's the first stage there because there's a lot of pride.
Is there a question you asked him?
How do you draw them out?
You can't do it.
So, you can, so I can give this message.
Sure.
And then he, Gerard, like somebody gave me this message because I was in a place of, if you look at me here, shit, I was probably fear, desire, anger, pride.
That's the majority of my life because I've just understood this concept like 20 years because I'm 43.
Probably at 25, 26, I'm still in fear.
Can I really do this?
I'm still in desire, man.
I'm still having girls on the side.
I'm still partying hardcore.
Anger.
I had a temper, horrible.
I still got a temper, but it's more tamed and I can control it than it's pride.
So the first time this was presented to me, I didn't want to, you know, I'm like, I don't know if this totally makes sense.
What are you talking about?
I'm somebody that's, and then I realized, no, you're not.
You're not willing.
You're not neutral.
You only talk to the people that you agree with.
You're not accepting.
You're not this.
You're not that.
You're not coming from that place.
But when we were off camera, and I want to change the topic because we got a lot of things I want the audience to hear other topics as well.
When we were off camera, we talked about Kyle Rittenhouse.
Sure.
Right?
And then you and Tyler, I think, what comment did you make about Kyle yesterday on Tucker?
You said he's a good kid.
He's a kid that you would find in your typical suburban Chicago neighborhood.
Yeah.
And Tyler, what did you say?
You said something about the guy.
He came off as a good kid.
You know, he worked hard.
He worked as a janitor to support his family.
He was a lifeguard.
He was a medic.
And he was just completely landbat.
It's like he's a completely different kid than what the media put.
Sure.
And then we talk about BLM and how he supports BLM, but he says, I don't support the writing or writing.
I just support the movement, though.
Sure, I support the movement.
Great, fantastic.
And then the conversation was what?
Well, he was coached.
Sure.
Because he was coached to do something like this, right?
On the Tucker interview.
On the Tucker interview.
He was coached.
Which, by the way, do we all agree that he was coached?
1 million percent he was coach.
There's no question he wasn't coach.
Of course he was coach.
But no matter how much he coaches me, how long will it take you to coach me to beat you in MMA if we go and grapple?
How long?
I don't know.
You're looking in pretty good shape.
And I know you're back.
What I'm trying to say to you is what I'm trying to say, it's going to take more than a day or two.
It's going to take probably a few years, right?
Because that's been your world.
No matter how much he coaches me or your friend coaches me, how much is it going to take me for me to go to a stand-up comedy and get a 60-minute special?
How long is it going to take me?
Five, 10 years?
It's going to take a while, right?
So no matter how much you press this power versus force concept to people, it's not going to be a day or two.
It took me three, five years to fully understand what I was dealing with with this.
I know you want to move on, but I have one question on that because I understand that on an individual level, and it's a really great way to be introspective and see where you're at.
Now, on a collective level, we just saw for 20 months here, fear is an incredibly powerful tool for control.
You get people to feel afraid if you could control their fear.
It's the media's business model.
Yeah.
I mean, there are three C's, right, BBD?
Change, conflict, controversy.
They made people afraid of the air, man.
There's people still right now.
I was just in St. Louis.
There's people afraid of the air walking around outside, muzzled up.
If you can control them where they see every human being that they encounter as a potential threat, you can do anything you want with those people.
Now you're the savior.
Hey, this is a scary world.
Come with me.
I'll help you.
I'll save you.
It's just going to cost you all your money and your freedom.
But I'll protect you.
I'm the good guy.
Right?
I got the jab.
Whatever you need, baby.
I need a fourth one.
I need a fifth one.
But fear, the lowest level of that, force versus power, just put the world on pause for two years.
They took the whole world over for two years by making people afraid.
Okay.
So how do you process that from an individual level to a collective level?
Yeah.
First of all, fear sharpens listening, right?
When people are afraid, people listen.
So they have to scare the hell out of you for you to watch the news.
If they don't scare the hell out of you, they're not going to watch the news.
So you got to figure out a way to increase the identity of people.
And like, for example, running the company, when we started off the company, a PHP insurance company, the first thing I said is saving America by bringing back the free enterprise system and hope to American families, right?
There's two things you can train people on.
Willpower, skill.
Skill is how to sell.
Will is you can do it, right?
Typically, most people think it's skill set that's very necessary.
Willpower is just as necessary.
Matter of fact, slightly more necessary than skill because willpower will make you figure out a way to learn the skill.
You're going to figure out the skill, right?
Okay.
So yes, all of you have a skill and no willpower.
You're just lazy.
You're going to rely on your skills.
Rely on your skills.
Wasted yourself.
So for example, yesterday we're doing the whole giveaway.
Zach Parker, shout out to him.
He came out with this idea about us.
I'm saying, let's give some stuff away.
So he produces the website.
Everybody's applying for us to do giveaways, folks.
We're calling on a bunch of people.
Unfortunately, we're trying to do FaceTime.
So some of the people that have drove, what do you call it?
Android, we can't FaceTime them, right?
So we called only Apple.
We have to check the numbers first.
Believe it or not.
Anyways, so we call this one lady.
Apple stock goes up.
We call this one a husband.
Husband nominates wife and says, my wife lost her job during COVID, wouldn't take any government assistant, wouldn't even apply to get any money, nothing.
She didn't take a single penny from the government during COVID.
She found ways to get a job, two or three jobs.
I just want to figure out how to make my wife's experience better for holidays.
Anything you can do, please do.
So I call her once, twice, three times.
She ain't picking up.
Fourth time, she picks up, FaceTime.
And she says, who are you?
I don't recognize you.
Her husband follows by Tim and she does not.
I said, your husband thinks the world of you.
Okay.
And he told me that during this 18 months, while everybody else was taking a stimulus, you didn't do it.
You figured out a way to get two or three jobs to make money for the family.
And he thinks you're the hero of the family.
Everybody leaned on you.
And I wanted to find a way to make your holiday season a better season for you.
I said, what can I do for you?
I said, do you mind if I send you to the spa, best spa local, manicure, pedicure, massage, the whole now for a full day?
We treat you.
She says, no, I don't want you to do that.
And he said, she's not going to take anything from you.
So I'm like, okay, then is there any way I can make you better?
She says, yes, one way.
I said, what's that?
She's so powerful story.
She says, my husband wants a toolbox.
Still thinking about other people.
My husband wants a toolbox, and it's $600.
I don't have the money for it.
Instead of sending me to the spa, please get him the toolbox if he can do that.
That would make my Christmas.
We're sitting there freaking.
I'm like, selfless.
So I say, you know what?
I said, forget about it.
You ever been to a spa before?
Never in my life.
She's probably in her 30s, you know, mid-30s, early 30s.
I said, never in your life.
No.
I said, how about we send you to the spa and how about we also get the toolbox for your husband?
She breaks down crying like you wouldn't believe, right?
To me, I said, you don't know how much of a hero you are to me.
I said, we need more people like you.
Here's a person that's stubborn enough to say, I'm not going to take the free money.
But give it to somebody else.
That mindset is what needs to be the hero.
Amen.
When is the last time you saw somebody on the media sold that person as the flipping hero?
It's always, you don't have a hard life.
We understand how hard life is.
This is why we should send you more checks.
This is why we should send you $3 trillion.
What?
$800.
You deserve $2,000 a month.
I can't stand that because it's decreasing the identity of people.
That's what's hurting us.
I'll tell you what.
You're 100% right.
That's really good.
But I'll tell you, that guy was so upset that he nominated her because he was just chilling.
And she's like, if I'm going to be out here doing two, three jobs, I'm going to get this asshole a two box.
And he's got a lot of time around the house to fix all this shit.
Honey, dude, listen to increased.
Listen, since it took us 25 minutes on this story, we still didn't get an answer.
Let's move on to the next one here.
All right, let's go to the next one.
Black Santas are appearing in U.S. Disney parks this season for the first time.
This is a page five story without an official statement or fanfare.
U.S. Disney parks are including Black Santa Claus in Christmas celebrations this year for the first time in the company's 66-year theme history at both Disneyland and Anaheim and Lake Buonavista, Florida.
A black Santa has been spotted at certain meet and greets and at after-hour Christmas parties, a Disney spokesperson told CNN that Santa Claus is represented in various ways in local and regional communities and around the world.
And in that spirit, Santa Claus will be reflected with diversity surrounding communities at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.
What's your thoughts on this?
Yeah, I'm a Chicago guy.
Around my neighborhood in Chicago, Humble Park, West Side of Chicago, Berwin Cisero Stickney.
We always had Black Santas.
We had Puerto Rican Santas.
We had Mexican Santas.
So I'm not a Coast Kid.
I didn't go to Disneyland or Disney World growing up.
So my first time going to those parks was when I was at a military station in Southern California, went up to Disneyland.
I actually got recruited into the insurance industry out of Anaheim.
But very good.
I can't believe it took this long, however, for Disney to actually put something like this together.
My sister, who's a dancer, my sister's a dancer.
She ballet, jazz, and all that.
She worked for Disney.
And I was, you know, Big Brother type stuff.
And so she was a snowflake during the Nutcracker type of dance.
People asking, hey, which one's your sister?
Which one's your sister?
She's one of the snowflakes, right?
Yeah.
My sister's the dirty snowflake.
So you're a big brother.
You were in the military and your sister was a ballet dancer.
That's right.
That must have been fun.
Oh, yeah, all the time.
I was a protective big brother, too.
Oh, yeah.
And I come to find out that most men in the dancing business, you know, I didn't have to worry about it.
Oh, yeah.
I was thinking more like your platoon mates, man.
They always wanted to go to the ballet.
That's it.
When the internet first came out, when the internet first came out, I said, hey, cool, which means older brother Philip.
I had my first modeling gig.
Awesome.
Hey, Marines, get over here.
This computer's dialed.
She started, you know, slowing.
Come to find out she was modeling.
A sports bro.
This goes to what we're talking about.
I destroyed the minors.
Hey, Supa, look at me.
I had a field day with my Marines at the time.
Dude, we just talked about this.
I left the sidebar away.
What do you do?
What do you do?
This is a good question.
What do you mean?
Here we go.
Dylan and Patrick have to worry about this stuff.
I'm entering an age now where my buddy has daughters that are now grown women.
Forget about it.
Freshmen in college and stuff like that.
And they're posting things that are just like, oh my God, little Justine.
I don't know what to do.
Do you like these people?
They're posting them.
They post the thirst.
Don't you dare.
They like all your stuff.
Are you supposed to like their stuff back?
No.
Find out.
Not Sophala's sister posts something for clout.
You want to give her the clout?
If I double tap on Instagram, am I helping or hurting?
Here's the problem, buddy.
This is how I stay away from all this nonsense.
I don't follow anybody's wives.
I don't follow anybody's young daughter.
It's not happening.
Even if they follow you.
Zero.
That's social equity.
I don't give a shit.
Very rarely will I follow someone.
I don't need the drama.
Why'd you double tapping my wife, my girlfriend, my daughter?
Like, I don't follow.
I'm out.
I'm in the minority here.
I think you don't.
Yeah, you follow everybody's wives.
You're double-tapping wives.
You're double-tapping dogs.
You gotta show support.
If they didn't want people to see it, they wouldn't post it.
If there's a double standard that was allowed to exist, to be right in this subject matter, yeah.
Double tap everybody else except my sister.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on Santa Black?
Back to the bottom.
Maybe even a Jewish Santa every once in a while sprinkle this.
I think it's great.
I think we've had, dude, the only thing we've had in our household is a Middle Eastern Santa.
What the hell do I care?
To me, Santa Claus is from Iran, you know, or Assyrian Armenian.
You only have to have a certain amount of qualifications to be Santa.
You need to be fat and you need to be jolly.
If you're not eating well, you don't have to have a shitty attitude.
But this is a Santa for you.
Nobody gets numb free.
This is a CNN story.
Okay, to me, to be honest with you, I don't even know why this is a story.
This is not a big deal.
That's what bothers me.
What bothers me is the fact that they want a parade for it.
It's like, okay, you got black Santa.
Dope.
All right, but it's like, we took the, we went ahead and made black Santa para first of all.
If you want a solid Santa with a lot of facial hair, go to Glendale, California.
You're going to find a lot of Armenians that are qualified to be Santa's.
There's guys, Armenian food is not good for you.
It's oily food.
You're going to get fat.
And they got the sickest beards.
Teager and clothes.
But there's one thing about Armenian Santa's, they have a temper.
So if you get on your ass for too much, they're going to tell you to get the hell out of here.
Okay, I'm not an American Santa.
This is Middle Eastern Santa.
Standards are slightly different.
Anyways, okay, let's continue.
Let's go to the Buccaneers.
Antonio Brown obtained alleged fake COVID-19 vaccine card from teammates, page eight.
So he plays for the Bucs.
Okay, if you don't know who this guy is, Antonio Brown is a, at one point, I think he was the fastest guy in the NFL.
He was a stealer.
On Thursday, Tampa Bay Times report claimed that Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver Antoni Brown used a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to get around certain NFL health and safety protocols without having to receive one of the safe and available coronavirus vaccines.
I like the way they said one of the safe and available coronavirus shots.
The NFL and its reviewers the matter, but the overall situation took a different turn Friday when ESPN's Gina Lane reported.
Ruiz says Brown obtained the alleged fake vaccination card from a Buccaneers teammate.
He got them from another player who was selling them.
Ruiz said that player came over to the house multiple times.
He had to get another copy of Brown's girlfriend's vaccine card because they got her birthday wrong on the first one.
Faking or doctoring a COVID-19 vaccination card is a federal criminal offense and also violates the NFL's personal conduct policy, meaning Brown could be fined or suspended if the league proves of this ultimately believes Ruiz's claims.
Gerard, thoughts?
Listen, you take somebody that's completely and totally healthy and tell them that they can't work unless they inject themselves with something that they don't want to inject themselves, you're going to create a black market.
All right.
This is right on the heels of Aaron Rodgers, where they tried to skewer Aaron Rodgers for his decision.
Why does the elite media, why does the, let's just call it what it is, why, why, when I was in St. Louis, all right, I posted all about it.
If people follow me, I posted all about it on, and I went on this whole rant about every place was closed, shut down, all right?
Place was hitting hard by COVID, and it was shut down.
And the places that weren't shut down, all right, there was one place called Gramophone.
It was like the only place that was open.
And in order to get in for me to get dinner, all right, it's a sandwich and beer shop.
I had to show a negative COVID test within the last 72 hours or a VAX card to go inside and eat a sandwich.
And I'm out there and the guy, the bouncer, who's sitting outside with a mask on outside, I'm like, bro, I'm going to go inside and I'm going to have a sandwich.
No one's sitting in there.
No one's around me.
You need me to prove just this?
I was like, what if I have herpes?
I'm going to drink out of this glass and then somebody else is going to drink out of the glass that I'm going to drink out of.
Shouldn't I show a negative test from that?
The old herpes.
You're getting them every time.
Shouldn't you guys prove to me, shouldn't I be able to see that you guys are cleaning things effectively?
So, anyway, I get into this whole thing with this guy, obviously, because I had to make a scene about it.
I'm just sitting here like, wait a minute, man.
Every place is closed.
Every place is closed.
Here's one guy trying to give you business, and you're saying no.
No, you can't come in because you're not obeying us.
It has nothing to do with health.
What do you think is going to happen to Antonio Brown?
That's what I'm saying.
What do you think is going to happen to Brown?
You think he's going to get suspended and fined?
Well, I think so because the NFL needs to make an example of somebody.
There's going to be a fall guy.
Just like there's drug teams.
He's an easy guy to do it to, by the way.
And if you think about it, Antonio Brown's an easy guy.
It's not like it's Mahomes or it's Brady.
You can do it to this guy.
They didn't suspend Rogers, so I don't think they can suspend Antonio Brown.
Rogers said what?
Rogers said he had taken a vaccine, but he said he has a vaccine.
It was immunized.
But he didn't go so far as the fake passport.
Yeah.
That's the differentiated one.
Just so you know, guys, I've gotten arrested for having a fake vaccination card.
Just so you know that.
So can you Google arrested fake vaccination card?
I remember a father and a son Asian picture came about like six months ago where these guys got arrested for having a fake vaccination card.
Illinois woman arrested over Moderna vaccine card.
Yeah.
New York man charged with felony for faking vaccine card.
Yeah, this is not like it's a seven-year in prison.
Hang on, go back to it.
Go back to it.
Watch this.
New York man charged with felony could face seven years in prison after being accused of faking a COVID-19 vaccine.
That pisses me off to know if it's not.
What I'm trying to say to you is what I'm trying to say to you is your answer is what they should do to him.
That's not my question.
My question is, what do you think the NFL, Godel, will be forced to do to Brown?
NFL's got a cave, and again, they got to make a fall guy because they got to set a, they got to set a precedence for the rest of the league, just like they do the drug policy.
You pop tests for a banned substance, and that kid, whoever's playing, is gone for the year.
I think this is going to happen to A.B. He's been in and out of the news teams for a handful of years now.
I'm more concerned about his quote-unquote teammate who is selling them as a side hustle.
What kind of guy out there is on the teammate being like, look, you want to fake it?
Focus on playing, blocking, and tackling.
You don't think that's happening all over the United States?
No, I have just a vaccine.
I have a good friend of mine that shall remain nameless that has a fake vax card.
This person had COVID, he's healthy, didn't want to get the vax, travels sometimes internationally, has a fake vax card.
And this is not a right-winger, to say the least.
He just wants to be able to do his thing.
So you brought up the word black market, and that's exactly what's going on here.
Anytime that there's rules and regulations that you don't agree with, you're going to try to skirt the issues.
It's just crazy as a felony.
And that's what's going on here.
It's just crazy as a felony.
That pisses me up because you have a felon in your record.
You can't get a job or you can't get licensed.
Think about this.
Think about this, okay?
Can you sue them?
Where's accountability lie right now?
Can you sue them if they get sick?
If you get sick, can you sue them?
Of course not.
You can't.
And the FDA, who's supposed to be working on our behalf, just asked a federal court to withhold the FOIA, the Freedom of Information Act.
55 years.
55 years.
We're all going to be dead until we know whether they knew who would make us sick.
We can't.
55 years, man.
All we've been told is trust the science, trust the science, but you can't read the science until 2075.
And OSHA has made it also a legal.
So where's accountability?
Accountability is shut up and do what you're told.
Shut up and do what you're told.
By the way, Gerard said that so quickly.
Can you pull up that story?
Because you're coming out with a product that we cannot sue.
Here you go.
This is the story.
Vaccine is an injury attorney.
FDA asks judge to grant it until your 2007.
Let me read this, guys.
FDA asks Judge to grant it until year 2076 to release Pfizer vaccine data.
Attorney Sri published an update on his case against the FDA, and he wrote, The FDA has asked a federal judge to make the public wait until the year 2076 to disclose all of the data information it relied upon to license Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
This is not a typo.
It wants 55 years to produce this information to the public.
So let's get this straight.
The federal government shields Pfizer from liability, gives it billions of dollars, makes Americans take its product, but won't let you see the data supporting his product safety and efficiency.
Why does the government, who does the government work for?
So this is a very big problem to have some like this setting up for themselves.
2076, that's what, 50, 55 years from now, insane to be able to do that.
So will anything happen to him?
Will anything happen to him?
To Antonio Brown?
Yes.
Well, he didn't play last night on Monday Night Football.
I don't know if he's injured right now or if he's suspended currently, but he didn't play last night on Monday Night Football.
I don't know if you can vacate it.
Do you think the NFL is going to go as far as suspending him from the season?
No.
Okay.
Do you think this is going to be like a one-gamer, two-gamer type of suspension?
Okay, what do you think is going to happen to the guy that's slanging him if they can do an investigation?
That guy's got to have to answer some serious questions.
How many other people did he sell them to?
What kind of side hustle is he operating?
Let me ask you this question.
Let me ask you slippery slope here what they do.
If the NFL finds out and this guy comes out and says, I'm selling vaccination cards, just so you know, there's 30 other guys that's selling it on every single team.
Not on my team.
On every team, someone's selling Hannah.
Because if a guy's selling it on Tampa Bay, who's the poster child of the NFL?
Tom Bricker.
He's the captain of that team, which means you don't think Tom knew this.
So Tom knows this.
So I think God.
I mean, we can't assume that he knows that.
If you've read TV 12 also.
If it's odds, if we're playing the game of odds, odds are a captain's going to know that this is taking place.
If this is taking place, Roger Godell's probably going to want the story to go away and not make a bigger deal about it because he knows a Brady in the Super Bowl gets more eyeballs than a, you know, somebody else in the Super Bowl.
Let's just address the elephant in the room, too.
If Aaron Rodgers didn't get suspended, and Antonio Brown does, every black person in America, skipping Shannon, is going to go nuts for an entire.
He didn't lie about having a vaccine card, though.
Wait, wait.
Are we talking about nuance and facts mattering all of a sudden?
He was immunized to not vaccinate.
Wait a minute.
I mean, half the world still thinks Kyle Rittenhouse killed three black guys.
So there's, you know, he's a white supremacist.
Come on, man.
I mean, you know, we live in a world where when that poor bastard drove through, not that crazy bastard, drove through Alcohol.
Yeah, well, drove through Wisconsin.
Half the people were waiting to see whether the driver was white or black to see how to respond to him.
This is just the reality of the situation now.
It's not right.
It disgusts me to the core of my freaking being.
I hate everything about this where we have to view everything through the lens of this black and white.
I got to tell you, yesterday, a guy was asking me a question.
He says, hey, Pat, can you go on Twitter, please, my account?
And he says, can you tell me what you don't like about capitalism?
Tell me what you don't like because you're so much about capitalism.
Can you say something you don't like about capitalism?
Okay, right?
So that's a fair question.
So I responded back to the guy and I tweeted and I actually answered him.
Here's what I said.
Okay.
My answer was keep going down, keep going down, keep going down, keep going down, down, down.
There it is.
Okay.
Click on that tweet because there's a part two and a part three.
Click on the top.
No, no, not title.
We got to teach you what to click on.
Right there.
That's right there.
Okay, good.
All right.
So I said, he asked me a question.
I'm a big value taint from India and I have a question.
If there's just one thing you would change about capitalism, what would it be?
I said, this is what I would change about capitalism.
Number one, eliminate all lobbyists and special interest group.
This is how big companies like Pfizer bully small companies.
Capitalism by itself is good until politicians who need campaign money to get re-elected get desperate.
They're often for sale, right?
Number two is create a flat tax that puts everybody in SIM camp, et cetera, et cetera.
Stay on the first one right there.
Stay right there.
Well, that's cronyism.
That's not capitalism.
Well, you're right.
It is cronyism.
But what Pfizer is doing.
What Pfizer is doing today, Pfizer is getting the FDA that they've probably bought to say, hey, can you go out there and make sure you delay the number of losses till 2076?
Who the hell is going to give a crap about anything to do with COVID 55 years from?
Let me make my point.
You'll go in 55 years from now.
We'll be in COVID-75.
So then yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, some people said.
We'll be on smallpox by then.
Yesterday, some people also said, Bezos just gave $100 million to Obama's foundation.
Okay.
So on the back end, folks are saying, well, maybe those issues that Bezos and Amazon was facing, Obama's going to make a phone call to Biden to get a favor.
It's things like this where you lose trust because manipulation takes place at the highest level.
You're a dummy if you don't sit there and say, you know what, a guy just sent something right now.
The answer was a follow-on.
Here's what the guy said.
I want to give him credit because the answer was a great answer.
He says, he says, you want to wait till 2076 to release all the data?
Guess what?
I'm going to wait till 2076 to take the vaccine.
That's what I'm going to do.
By the way, is it reasonable?
Is it reasonable?
I think it's reasonable.
It's not fair.
I think it's reasonable.
Because I want to get more data before I take it.
Right.
If you're a data person, this gives more red flags for somebody not to take to supports their cause, not to take a vaccine.
And back to this, we're looking at the FDA.
Is the FDA here to protect the consumer or here to protect the government?
And based on what we're saying here, that's a government entity, that's a government entity that's going to not protect the conservation.
I agree with the overall premise.
And this might be semantics and this might be a nonsensical word argument.
But what is described there, and that happens all the time, cronyism, that's actually not capitalism.
What that is is corporatism.
That's where the government picks winners in certain functions, right?
Where you give Pfizer a billion-dollar grant.
Now a small company can't come up and compete with that.
But here's the thing.
To me, that's closer to socialism than it is to capitalism.
There's no question.
Of course it is.
But it is an extension of capitalism because the capitalists are using this that's available to them, this usage.
They're using this.
Do you think cronyism and corporatism is an inevitable end of capitalism?
If the laws are the way they are right now, yes.
For example, as much as I love this phone, as much as I love this phone, if you go a little lower, I said, number three, more competition for business that haven't had for many years.
Apple needs more competition.
It concerns me that there's not really a second competitor in smartphones in the U.S. right now.
Tesla was the best thing that happened to U.S. consumers.
They woke up the automobile industry to improve.
Bottling needs competition.
Coke and Pepsi won 90% of the market.
I'll leave it there.
The point is, look at this.
This is a concern.
Apple, Apple.
Is this Apple?
I don't know if this is this iPad or no.
Apple, This is not good.
This is not good.
That is a form of what makes capitalism end up going in this direction.
So yeah, I don't think these guys should be taking money from these guys because the more, why would an FDA say yes?
Go behind closed doors and say how much money.
Matter of fact, can you put in Pfizer supporting FDA?
How much money is Pfizer given to what charity or what nonprofit?
You'll see a linkage here.
So this is where I get very uncomfortable because the truth is not coming out.
The person that's funding the most money is coming out in the back end.
Has the pendulum swung too far in that direction?
This is not a new thing.
This has been going on for quite some time.
Look, again, I'm at Harvard.
I'm at an OPM program, owner president management.
This is a three-week program where you go and stay there with other CEOs and entrepreneurs.
One guy says, I own majority of the market in Brazil.
What the hell do I do?
There's this new guy that's coming out that's kicking my ass.
The other guy from another Central American country comes out and says, very easy.
What governor is running for a campaign for re-election?
Give him $500,000 and tell him you'll give another half a million dollars if he makes it impossible for the other guy to compete with you.
Believe me, this is what we do all the time.
This isn't the open discussion.
Outside.
It's like a regular talk.
This is what country?
And this was Brazil.
I don't remember the other guy where he was at.
But the guy that's working at the front, the teacher who was like the moderator, is like, well, well, well, you can't really do something like this.
The guy's like, no, you can't.
You can do this.
It reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield in that old back to school where he goes back to school and he's sitting there and they're learning business and he keeps scoffing.
They're like, you think you know something about business?
He goes, yeah.
You didn't even tell, you didn't even throw in any bribes for the Teamsters.
They're going to shut the union down the first day unless you grease the pipes.
And he does this whole thing.
It's a great scene.
But when you talk about when people go.
Triple Indy.
One of the classic movies of all time.
Ronnie Dangerfield.
When people talk about the quote-unquote Illuminati and this like crazy cabals and stuff like that, that's what they're talking about.
They're talking about the Bilderbergs and the World Economic Forum where all these incredibly powerful people and all these incredibly powerful, influential positions get together and they make these backroom deals like that.
We don't have access to that.
We don't have access to that sort of power.
By the way, by the way, I don't mind it if it happens in free market.
I mind it if you lean on the government.
For example, this lady that they're talking about making the treasury for Biden, right?
What's her name, Tyler?
Omarava.
Say that again.
Omarava.
I have a hard time saying her name.
Omarava, Omarava, right?
So a video circulates among what she just recently said.
So she's at the court.
Ted Cruz is calling a route.
Have you guys seen this back and forth or not?
Have you seen Ted Cruz and her going back and forth or no?
Have you seen it?
Have you had a chance to see this or not?
Okay.
If it's C-SPAN, it's worthy of seeing this.
If it's C-SPAN, it's worthy of seeing this.
Take a look at it and see if it's out there or not.
So this lady flat out says, you said Omarava.
How do you spell it?
S-A-U-L-E.
O-M-A.
U-L-E.
O-M-A-R-O-V-A.
S-A-U-L-A.
Can you give me the name again?
Biden appointee wants to eliminate the Fed.
I said, no way.
Let me hear this.
Okay.
Good for you, Joe.
And it was like, yeah, eliminate the Fed and all private banking.
Omarova.
It's like Omarosa.
Have you guys actually seen this or not on C-SPAN?
Okay.
Omarova.
Oh, man.
If it's not on C-SPAN, we obviously cannot watch it because of what happens.
Okay.
I don't know if it's there or not.
Anyways, he calls her out.
She used to be, she's born and raised in Russia, full-on communist, okay?
And she's coming in and she says, well, yeah, I used to be a communist.
Says, you don't stay as a member.
You kind of grow out of being a communist.
That's her answer.
She just kind of nonchalant talks about it.
Play the video I just sent you, by the way, Tyler.
By the way, Obama said the same thing in his book.
He did.
But watch this.
Just let's not interrupt.
Let her say what she says in an interview.
Press play.
Here's what she has to say.
This would be actually the full transition.
In other words, there will be no more private bank deposit accounts and all of the deposit accounts will be held directly at the Fed.
And there are very interesting implications from that thought experiment.
For example, with the much more direct and proactive tools of monetary policy, like helicopter money, which is considered radical, primarily because economists really do not know how to manage the issue of what will happen in the inflationary environment when the central bank needs to contract the supply of money.
How is it politically feasible for the central bank to effectively take money away from people's account?
People's accounts.
Play the last 10 seconds one more time, folks.
I want you to listen to this one more time.
This is who may end up getting elected.
Well, listen, press play.
Yeah.
Stop everything you're doing.
How is it politically feasible for the central bank to effectively take money away from people's accounts?
Ouch.
People's accounts.
That's her words.
Naturally, what she said is that you asked the question, you said, you know, how these guys get together, the powerful people behind closed doors and they broker deals, all that stuff.
I don't mind that as long as the government's not involved.
I have zero problem with that.
Because if I can do a better job persuading him to broker the deal with me versus him, I'm good.
Because it's force.
Because I can screw it up with him.
Well, he'll go with him.
But if I'm dealing with the government, if I screwed up with him, there is no choice.
No, so these guys, when they're thinking central bank, the audience sees this.
Like if you said this to the because the government became a competitor, the government became a competitor.
That's just communism with a lot of extra words.
That's just communism.
Of course, that is.
So again, the concept goes back to go to DMV, ask for good service, see what they give you.
What's the alternative?
There's not another DMV.
There is not another DMV.
So if we no longer have B of A Chase, I used to bank with B of A. Guess what I did?
I went to WAMO.
BAMO was crushing it.
I've been with WAMO and Chase for God knows how many years.
Now, if WAMO doesn't take care, you got Wals Fargo.
Well, Scarlet doesn't, you got this, you got that.
So we switch one of our business banks for the company because the new bank was better for us than the other bank.
You know how much money they lost in deposits?
$100 million of deposits they lost.
But if I don't have that choice where I can only go to the central bank, you are screwed.
Yeah, but PPD, it's worse than that, even because think about what we just talked about.
They're regulating a medicine.
Now they have access to your funds.
And they say, unless you get what we want you, unless you put what we want in your body, we're not going to give you access to your money.
Well, that's why Biden wanted to expand the IRS enforcement to make sure that anything that you bring in over $600 is monitored.
Therefore, if you're not paying taxes on it, they can come after you and say, hey, we saw that you have a bunch of deposits, $600, $700, $800.
You never filed tax on it because you're a waiter because you work on TIPS, but you're a cash money guy.
You have a you sell elotes in the corner and you're running a cash business, you're depositing over six, seven hundred bucks a day.
Now you have to file taxes on it and they're forcing that regulation.
They're never going to raise taxes on the middle class.
No, But on that, they realize the $3 trillion plan was going to pay.
And that was something that they were proposing, but they realized that it was a logistical nightmare.
And the banks are like, dude, we're not trying to monitor every $600.
And they raised, obviously, $10,000 is the traditional number for these types of things.
But it just goes to show that sometimes bad ideas can sort of percolate.
And if there's not people being like, whoa, what's happening?
What's going on here?
You know, they could somehow get implemented.
So someone like this, that clearly were like, what's this lady's deal?
What's this taking money from people's account?
What is this idea going on here?
If there's not backlash, there's not people raising their hands, like literally verbally protesting, someone like this can come up.
That's a great point.
Like Ghislaine Maxwell trials going on right now, and nobody even knows.
Everybody knows everything that's happening with the Kyle Ritten trial.
Every second of everything, you know, and there was some good theater there.
Those two prosecutors were all-time morons with what they tried.
Is your account four doors more horse, sir?
Yeah, I'm a teenager.
What's what of it, bro?
I'm a teenager with a social media account.
Like it was a remarkably bad job that they did.
But Ghislaine Maxwell, if everybody knows who Ghislaine Maxwell is, she was the number two to Jeffrey Epstein.
The number two.
The number two.
She was the gopher, man.
And we all remember what Jeffrey Epstein had his hands in and all of those people that he was intertwined with.
Is that on the news at all?
Where's the cover?
Not even heard about that.
I haven't heard about it.
What type of social engineering is going on?
What type of manipulation is going on that we don't know that they're trying to centralize our money underneath them?
They're trying to control our medicine.
They're trying to control our information.
Pat just read an article before where they slipped in propaganda in an article, you know, which is safe and it's safe and available, guys.
Like, okay, thanks, buddy.
At what point are we like going to, as people stand up and like be like, all right, enough's enough?
So I had an FBI agent this last week.
I don't know what his name was.
Was he FBI or was hemente, really enjoyed the interview?
Phenomenal teacher of what they do.
He was an FBI agent for 20-something years.
His brother is an FBI agent as well.
So both are FBI agents.
And then his other brother, Peter, does something else.
He's private equity and they started a company together and they're doing good.
So here's what I did.
I played a clip of Rand Paul and Fauci because what this guy does for a living is he sees, what's the word he used?
Deception.
So his job is to see deception.
Okay.
As an FBI agent.
Like if somebody's lying?
As somebody's lying.
I say deception.
So I said, you know, I want to do, let's profile somebody, if it's okay with you.
Let's profile somebody.
And we play this clip.
Now, know that he is complete, not a fan of former administration.
Okay.
So I wanted to have Trump's zero, like zero.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, zero.
So he is a supporter of the Curtin administration more than the prior administration.
And I said, I want to kind of profile and kind of get your feeling on this.
And tell me if you believe Fauci is telling the truth or where he stands with this.
Can you play this clip?
Just play the clip.
Let's watch for the first four minutes of it.
And maybe if you know how to do the speed, do me a favor, click on that.
Do you know what that is?
Okay.
And can you guys do 1.5?
Go to 1.5, not 2.0, 1.5, because they all talk slow.
So press play and let Ren make his argument first.
And then when it comes to Tony's answer, slow it down to 1.0 to really get the feeling of how.
Have you guys seen this or not?
No, this is from three weeks ago.
You've not seen this.
No, I have not seen it.
Okay, open it up because you're about to be blown away.
These two deserve their own reality show.
Okay, click on this and just listen.
I don't expect you today to admit that you approved of NIH funding for gain of function research in Wuhan, but your repeated denials have worn thin, and a majority of Americans, frankly, don't believe you.
Even the NIH now admits that EcoHealth Alliance did perform experiments in Wuhan that created viruses not found in nature that actually did gain in lethality.
The facts are clear.
The NIH did fund gain of function research in Wuhan despite your protestations.
You can deny it all you want, but even the Chinese authors of the paper in their paper admit that viruses not found in nature were created and yes, they gained ineffectivity.
Your persistent denials, though, are not simply a stain on your reputation, but are a clear and present danger to the country and to the world.
The world.
As Professor Kevin Esvelt of MIT has written, gain of function research looks like a gamble that civilization can't afford to risk.
And yet here we are again with you steadfast in your denials.
Why does it matter?
Because gain of function research with laboratory-created viruses not found in nature could cause a pandemic even worse the next time.
We're suffering today from one that has a mortality of approximately 1%.
They're experimenting with viruses that have mortalities of between 15 and 50%.
Yes, our civilization could be at risk from one of these viruses.
Experiments that combine unknown viruses with known pandemic-causing viruses are incredibly risky.
Experiments that combine unknown viruses with coronaviruses that have as much as 50% mortality could endanger civilization as we know it.
And here you sit, unwilling to accept any responsibility for the current pandemic and unwilling to take any steps to prevent gain of function research from possibly unleashing an even more deadly virus.
You mislead the public by saying that the published viruses could not be COVID.
Well, exactly no one is alleging that.
No one is alleging that the published viruses by the Chinese are COVID.
What we are saying is that this was risky type of research, gain of function research.
It was risky to share this with the Chinese and that COVID may have been created from a not yet revealed virus.
People anticipate the Chinese are going to reveal the virus if it came from their lab.
You know that, but you continue to mislead.
You continue to support NIH money going to Wuhan.
You continue to say you trust the Chinese scientist.
You appear to have learned nothing from this pandemic.
Will you today finally take some responsibility for funding gain of function research in Wuhan?
Pause it, pause it, pause it first.
Pause it first.
Now go to speed, and I just watch body language.
And listen, if you're telling the truth, you're going to know you don't have to press play.
He's a masked up.
Extremely safe.
Senator, with all due respect, I disagree with so many of the things that you've said.
First of all, gain of function is a very nebulous term.
We have spent, not us, but outside bodies, a considerable amount of effort to give a more precise definition to the type of research that is of concern that might lead to a dangerous situation.
You are aware of that.
That is called P3CO.
You're aware that you deleted gain of function from the NIH website.
Well, I can get back to that in a moment if we have time.
But let's get back to the operating framework and guidewars of which we operate under.
Bad actor.
And you have ignored them.
The guidelines are very, very clear that you have to be dealing with a pathogen that clearly is shown and very likely to be highly transmissible in an uncontrollable way in humans and to have a high degree of morbidity and mortality, and that you do experiments to enhance that, hence the word EPPP, enhanced pathogens of potentially.
So when EcoHealth Alliance took the virus in 1975 and combined it with WIV-1 and caused a recombinant virus that doesn't exist in nature, and it made mice sicker, mice that had humanized cells, you're saying that that's not gain of function research.
According to the framework and guidelines.
So what you're doing is defining away gain of function.
You're simply saying it doesn't exist because you changed the definition on the NIH website.
This is terrible, and you're completely trying to escape the idea that we should do something about trying to prevent a pandemic from leaving.
He's a doctor for people that don't know, by the way, the preponderance of evidence now points towards this coming from the lab.
And what you've done is changed the definition on your website to try to cover your ass, basically.
That's what you've done.
You've changed the website to try to have a new definition that doesn't include the risky research that's going on.
Until you admit that it's risky, we're not going to get anywhere.
You have to admit that this research was risky.
The NIH has now rebuked them.
Your own agency has rebuked them.
But that thing is, is you're still unwilling to admit that they gained in function when they say they became sicker.
They gained in lethality.
It's a new virus.
That's not gain of function.
Watch what happens.
According to the definition that is currently operable, you know, Senator.
Let's make it clear to the people who are listening.
The current definition was done over a two to three year period by outside bodies, including the NSA two conferences by the National Academy of Science, Engineering, Medicine on December 2014, March 2016.
We commissioned external risk-benefit assessment, and then on January of 2017, the Office of Science and Technology Policy of the White House issued the current policy.
And coincidentally, I have no definition on the same day the NIH said that, yes, there was a gain of function in Wuhan, the same day the definition appeared, the new definition, until you accept it, until you accept responsibility, we're not going to get anywhere close to trying to prevent another lab leak of this dangerous sort of experiment.
You won't admit that it's dangerous, and for that lack of judgment, I think it's time that you resign.
Thank you, Senator Pollen.
I would like to give the time to Dr. Paul.
Well, there were so many things that are egregious misrepresentation here, Madam Chair, that I don't think I'd be able to refute all of them, but just a couple of them for the listeners to hear for.
You have said that I'm unwilling to take any responsibility for the current pandemic.
I have no responsibility for the current pandemic.
The current pandemic.
Okay?
Number two, you said the overwhelming amount of evidence indicates that's a lab leak.
I believe most card-carrying viral phylogenists and molecular virologists would disagree with you.
That is much more likely, even though we leave open all possibilities, it's much more likely that this was a natural occurrence.
Third, you say we can't.
You tested 80,000 animals and no animals have been found with COVID.
Senator Paul, the time is to hurt.
And third, you made a statement just a moment ago that's completely incorrect.
Where you say we continue to support research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
I approved it in August of last year.
No, no, your statement says, quote, I wrote it down as you were writing.
You continue to support research at the Wuhan Institute of Army.
Senator Paul, I have allowed Dr. Fauci to respond.
You've had your time.
I'm going to give him dishonesty on each ally.
Senator Paul, we will allow Dr. Fauci to respond after you've given accusations like that.
Dr. Fauci.
Well, I don't have any more to say except to say that as usual, and I have a great respect for this body of the Senate, and it makes me very uncomfortable to have to say something, but he is egregiously incorrect in what he says.
Thank you.
History will figure that out on its own.
Damn.
Turn to Senator Hassan.
Thank you.
Okay, so now here's a question.
What's that?
Oh, going to close that button?
Just go for it.
You think that thing can lift my fat ass out?
I want one of those.
So, but listening to what just happened right there.
Do you believe Fauci for what he said?
Do you believe him?
It's hard for me, man, because I hate that man with every fiber of my being.
Why, though?
Why is that, though?
Because I think that there's so much evidence to show that he has lied in so many different ways at so many different varying stages that once you lie in a situation like this, and there's too many people out there that brush it off and say, well, politicians lie.
One, he's not a politician.
He's not supposed to be anyway.
He is, but he's not supposed to be.
And two, in a situation like this, if you lie to cover your ass once, I can never trust you again.
You're just going to cover your ass, cover your ass, cover your ass.
And if your job is more important to you than your neighbors, your countrymen, if you've been willing to watch what's happened to your country for the last 20 months just to save your own ass, come on, man.
I got nothing for you, bro.
And that's not even getting into the more conspiratorial stuff with the Beagles and everything like that.
You know what's very weird to me?
How the hell have we not started an investigation on China?
How are we not going after?
Why is it so uncomfortable to say there could possibly be no so where I'm going with that is if we're uncomfortable with that, then there's something that's being hidden.
If we are so protective of not wanting to go after somebody that cannot stand what we stand for, China cannot stand what we stand for, and after all the tariffs, and all of a sudden we have a pandemic to get rid of a guy you can't stand because he figured out a way how to make your life a living hell through the tariffs, and we can't investigate that.
Even this is what John Stewart asked on Stephen Colbert.
If we can't investigate it, that's a little bit too uncomfortable.
What did the FBI agent say about that conversation?
The FBI agent said his answer was, David, remind me what he said.
He said, I don't have enough information to make statements.
I don't know everything about this.
I said, you know what?
Since you're on a podcast, I'd love to see you take an extensive because there's billions of people worldwide that would want to know if you believe this situation or not, because that's your expertise.
So he said, well, maybe we're going to do it on the podcast.
So we'll see if they're going to do it or not.
Well, would you agree these types of conversations should be consistent and into perpetuity until some sort of trade?
Like, I wish there was some sort of fact-checking that was going on there because I didn't see a lot of quivering or deflecting from Fauci.
I'm not a huge Fauci fan, but I'm not like Gerard.
I don't hate Fauci.
I think he's put in a difficult situation.
Has he lied?
Has he, I don't know.
I'm not going to be like, this is the way it is.
I don't know.
Okay.
I do appreciate the fact that Rand Paul is grilling him and holding him to account.
Look, I don't also, he's 80 freaking years old.
He doesn't need this job.
He's the most highest paid person in the government.
Why is he still doing it?
That's a very good question.
I don't know.
I don't have that answer.
I don't pretend to know.
Lying or he's bad at his job.
Yeah, so it's one of two really bad options.
You're either really bad at what you're doing or you're lying.
The answer is, I don't know.
That's why I appreciate what Rand Paul is doing.
As an annoying it is for Fauci, he's holding him to account.
Is there anybody in this room or watching right now?
Anybody, serious question, that thinks that we've been told the truth as they know it the whole time?
Of course not.
No, I don't.
But also something that we but if they lie to you, we haven't had it.
Why do you think they would stop lying all of a sudden?
Well, then why believe any politician ever or any radio or any spokesperson of any question?
Exactly.
So it's like everyone's lying.
Everyone lies every single day, whether it's a white lie or a full-on bold lie.
These lies don't shut down.
Most lies don't shut down the world though.
I will say one thing.
When this thing happened, did you think they actually knew what was going to occur?
Meaning, when Fauci got the news of this or any of these people, use a mask.
Don't use a mask.
It's not coming from Wuhan.
It is coming from Wuhan.
It came from a bat.
It's not from a bad person.
I think they knew immediately it didn't come from a damn bat.
I think that that was nonsensical from the jump.
Was it, though?
A guy ate a bat and then the world got sick.
Was a nonsense.
I mean, that was a nonsensical thing from the beginning.
I mean, it was just insane.
Oh, by the way, the bat just happens to be, you know.
Well, he's still smiling.
He's still sticking to his guns right now.
Of course, because what's the, who did you ask?
You asked that, we were in an interview once.
You asked the guy, how come they don't break rank?
How come they don't, because no one's pressing them?
No one's pressing them.
How did you get the mafia guys to turn?
You threatened them with 100 years.
You pressed them.
Flip on his buddies.
What I don't get is that we are, what, one-third of the population of China, one-third of the population of India, but yet we lead the world in COVID-19 infections.
Because we're fat and unhealthy.
Also, because we're accurately reporting where I don't think these other countries are.
Yeah, that's another thing, too, as well.
There's a profit incentive to be COVID positive.
Don't forget that.
Correct.
You could have had the flu.
You could have all these things.
It was $18,000 if you were COVID.
Back to following the money.
Back white people are lying.
You follow the money trail.
The other aspect, too, is if we do keep digging up on China, I think it starts another war.
I mean, this is some form of war right here.
It's a biological war.
And there's an economic war.
And then they're sending a supersonic missile that nobody ever caught on radar.
It could trigger so many different events if we're boldly pointing the finger at China.
It can drastically affect America.
I mean, look at right now.
Everybody's being affected by the supply chain and things coming from China over here to America.
I did a show where I just randomly pulled things from my kids' toys, Pokemon cards, Star Wars, lightsabers.
The whole thing I had, I brought it to the office, 10 of the things all made in China.
That's the scary part.
Matt, I'm at the point.
Who cares?
We're the United Freaking States of America.
China needs us.
We don't need them.
Sure.
They want to play these games.
USA, baby.
We retract.
We retract access to our market.
They want to do what they want to do.
God bless.
Xi Jinping for years has had no problem agitating and escalating with us.
And all of a sudden, the Western world is supposed to be like, well, go.
God forbid we'll not.
To hell with them.
To hell with them.
Circle the wagons.
Get our industries going.
Get our people working for our people.
Bring pharmaceuticals back here.
Bring manufacturing back.
Back here.
Okay.
All right.
And enough.
They want to play their games.
And we're just supposed to be like, oh, God, what happened?
Oh, they're very, very strong.
They're very powerful.
Who are we?
We forgot who we are in this country, man.
So bring the manufacturing from China into, let's say, Mexico.
India, Pat loves India.
I'm sure India would love a couple trillion dollars.
I think the Philippines would love some of those jobs too as well.
Come on.
All of which we're supposed to be afraid.
Get out of here.
They want the smoke?
Back-to-back World War champs, buddy.
Yeah, well, you lost me at the last sentence.
I agreed with you until then.
When you start talking like palace on your hand, run back.
I'm not looking for you to be regarded.
When you're rooting for a world war, that's where you're at.
I'm not rooting for a world war.
What I'm saying is that they want it.
We're not backing down.
Enough retreating.
That type of rhetoric is.
Listen.
We do not want another Cold War with China.
We've had that with Russia.
Don't think that works out with anybody.
We do need to have dialogue with the US.
You don't think the Cold War worked out for the United States of America?
Yeah.
Other than the fact that we almost got nuked, I think it's a good idea.
Did we get nuked?
No, but that's the whole point of live in fear of an aggressor.
I'm not saying that we should live.
They're the aggressor right now.
They're not retracting.
Xi Jinping's not saying, well, God forbid we don't want a war.
Let's all lift it.
No, he's not.
He's like, our time's now to hell with them.
And now we're just supposed to be like, well, it's their time.
It's their time.
God forbid we do anything.
That's some never changed.
Neville Chamberlain shit.
When a bully gets empowered, he doesn't all of a sudden become enlightened and go, you know what?
Nah, let's back more and more and more.
That's.
Have you ever seen any of these Chinese combat movies on Netflix?
Have you ever stumbled across some of those?
The new Chinese Rambo?
Yeah, T. Lamb was talking.
They're like promoting their military a lot.
You know, how strong their military is and their naval forces and their special forces.
It's interesting they've been doing that lately.
I don't know, man.
You guys are in the middle of the stack of the United States Marine Baby.
Come get some.
Look, do I want war?
Of course I don't want war.
Of course not.
But at the same time, I'm sick of us.
Let me put it to you this way.
You and I had a conversation together about mafia states, and I said, I want to know where the issue was.
And you said, well, everything, the buck stops, you know, with me, et cetera.
I said, well, we want to know.
And we found out a lot, right?
In the last four weeks.
Okay.
Now, if we find out what happened, then what can we do?
The next time around, we make adjustments.
That's all I care about, right?
It's we find out what took place.
So the next time we're going through this, we make better decisions and better choices, knowing who does better under pressure, who's more for, I'm going to come through and deliver on my promises.
I want to know what the hell happened with COVID.
Because here's what we still don't know.
These guys are talking about till 2076.
We can't investigate what happened with Pfizer.
Okay.
We're not going to know what happened with kids.
You and I have kids.
We're not going to know what happened with kids for 20 or 30 years.
You're not going to know that.
We have no clue what's going to happen.
So what?
Those kids got to go do what they're going to do?
Because somebody wanted to play the game that they played?
Yeah, it doesn't sit well with me.
So now here's the part.
We're not pansies.
We're not softies.
We're not like helpless to say, oh my gosh, this is not fair.
No, all I'm saying is I want to know what the hell happened.
That's all I care about.
If they were involved in this, Fauci has got to want to know as much as anybody else wants to know rather than them saying, no, it wasn't China.
Now, how do you know it wasn't China?
How do you know it's not China?
That's the problem.
So if he says, well, it's David.
No, It's not David.
Let's not investigate David.
David didn't do it.
David's not the one with the onion.
How do you know?
No, it's not David.
It's a little weird there that you're so protective of David.
But you're okay if I go to Tyler and Madden.
Yeah, yeah, investigate.
But no, David didn't do it.
How are you so certain?
So that is a very, very weird situation for me.
I'm not saying it is or it's not, but it's very weird where you're all of a sudden that protective.
Do they know something about you that the rest of the world doesn't know?
Is there something that if we would have found out about you that you're going to flip out?
I don't know.
Is there a reason why all these interviews that was done with a Judy Mikeovitch got canceled?
Is there a reason why so many people want to hide anything that's written about you?
Is there a reason why Robert F. Kennedy, the top environmental attorney in America that is RFK's son, writes a book about you that just came out as a top 10 book on Amazon?
Why are so many people wanting to find out more about you?
Why don't people trust you?
What caused people to not trust you?
What's going on here?
That's where I want to know.
Certain jobs you shouldn't take without knowing the heat that comes with it.
Just don't take it.
Don't say, I want to be a C-suite.
Oh, really?
So you are now a C-suite, but you're shitting bricks about being a C-suite.
Then don't freaking be a C-suite.
Go be a manager.
Don't be a C-suite.
I want to be a salesperson.
Oh, really?
You're a salesperson, but every month you're asking for an advance against your commission because you're broke because you can't sell.
Go back and be an employee.
You want to be this person that's going to be on it for the entire time during a time like this?
All the pressure is on you.
So I just want to get to the bottom and see what happened.
And whoever that screwed it up, you got to be held accountable.
Whoever did the right thing, we got to turn him into a hero.
History books has to turn the people that did the right thing into a hero.
And if it's him, let's do it.
If we find out everything and he is truly right, I want this guy to have the most ridiculous retirement celebration, people showing up because he did the right thing.
But if he's not and you were dividing America and hurting us, you got to go to jail, buddy.
100%.
You got to go pay the price for it.
So who is the organization that should be investigating China?
And to your point, why don't we hear about that more often?
Like, is there, who is the organization?
Is it not the WHO?
Is it the United States?
Is it the World Health Organization?
Who is it that should, in fact, be investigating China in this?
And why isn't it in the head, you know, front page news every single day?
National Security Advisors should be in the CIA.
But is there a centralized power that should be doing this?
Is the world involved?
Is the United States?
There's quite a few organizations that could do this, but there's also a reason why maybe they're not doing this.
First of all, if they did decide to do this, you don't think behind closed doors, they're sitting there saying, hey, $2,000 containers for $25,000?
We're going to have a fine Christmas in China.
You guys are not going to have a good Christmas because we're making a gifts here in the toys here, and all we have to do is drive it over.
You guys need a ship.
We don't need a ship.
We're fine.
You want to do anything to us?
Go right ahead.
The world has empowered them so much that they have so much leverage that everybody's walking on eggshells, making sure they don't screw up because they own manufacturing, they own the chips, they own everything.
So many pharmaceuticals, Pfizer, 80%.
You can go on, but percentage of ACs they make.
There's so many different things they have control over.
This is the world's fault.
This is America's fault on the policies of how they negotiated with China when they were a small little, not a population-wise, but they were not a superpower to not being who they are.
And it's being ran by a guy like him who can't stand America, who can't stand rich people, who it has to be all about him.
Yeah, the world paid a price for it.
America led the way because America is the leader of the free world.
You made them stronger.
Now you're going to pay a price for it.
There's a lot of people made themselves very, very rich in those deals, and they enrich themselves by selling out their contracts.
And they say, listen, say you got five salespeople in your organization.
One guy is an absolute dirtbag, okay?
Does shady business, steals all this stuff.
If you keep making him the hero over and over and over and over and over again, a year, two years, three years, five years from now, your company goes on because of him, it's not his fault.
It's your fault.
It's your lack of paranoia where you empower the wrong person.
You're paying a price for it.
You shouldn't have been naive.
America became naive.
And they empowered a communistic region.
What are you doing empowering that country?
You could have gone to India.
You could have gone to so many different places to empower.
Why are you empowering somebody whose philosophies are completely opposing of our philosophies?
I don't understand this.
If you're going to empower somebody, we should at least have similar values and principles.
We don't have to have the same religion.
You can be a Buddhist.
You can be a seven-day.
You can be a Catholic.
You can be a Muslim.
But if we both have similar values and principles that we follow by, we ought to do business together.
Do you realize how completely opposite communism and capitalism is?
Sure.
Sweatshops they got over there.
People are working for two, three cents at that time or half a dollar, 50 cents an hour.
They're working like they're destroying these people.
But no, let's keep producing business over there because it's cheaper.
Yeah.
That was our friend Innes Cantor, who basically called that out to LeBron.
Yeah, and by the way, he's got a good point.
And, you know, LeBron wasn't too happy about it.
He was asked about it.
Matter of fact, let's get right into that story.
Innes Cantor rips discussing LeBron's James over Nike Connection.
This is a Washington Examiner story.
He continued his war against Nike on Thursday, saying, sparring no words while ripping into LeBron James Cantor, who has previously accused Nike of telling a total lie about China's alleged use of slave labor to produce its products, aimed this round at Nike's biggest star, money over morals for the king.
The Celtics Center tweeted, sad and disgusting how these athletes pretend they care about social justice.
They really do shut up and dribble when big boss says so, did you educate yourself about the slave labor and made your shoes?
Or is that not part of your research?
James refused to offer his own thoughts about China's political policies, instead claiming he had to conduct more research.
So, I mean, they're going back and forth here.
Ennis Cantor is not going to slow down.
But LeBron, what he said in the interview, he says, hey, he walked through the hallway.
He could have stopped and talked to me, but he didn't do anything.
He's trying to make his name off.
He's trying to say like, he's trying to make his name off me.
So, hey, you had the opportunity to face me and you didn't, which, by the way, I agree with LeBron.
Why don't you go deal with him directly if you did walk into the hallway with him?
Now, if LeBron's lying, which I don't think he is, he's trying to build himself up.
Ennis is going to come back and say, I never walked past this guy.
Okay.
But if Ennis now comes out and says, hey, I'm willing to do a live with you.
Let's talk about it.
If Ennis says, let's have a meeting and talk about this.
Now, if he wants to kind of come back at it.
But, yeah, I mean, he's right because look what happened.
LeBron tweeted about Kyle Rittenhouse just a couple of weeks ago and he got destroyed for it last week or a week and a half ago.
But a guy comes in and drives through a community in Wisconsin, kills five people, hospitalizes 40 people.
Where is a story about that?
What's worse of a story?
A horrible story.
Horrible story.
Kids, this is like, what are you doing?
Have you watched a video?
Of course.
Did you see the car plummeting or like going over bodies and it's bumping up and down?
I'm surprised the kids even got up because some of them got up.
Like, you just got ranted over.
He was out on bail.
Bail.
Bail.
$1,000 bail.
He was running from a domestic dispute.
He had tried to run his wife over earlier in the morning, like his pregnant, or his pregnant girlfriend.
He tried to run her over with his car earlier.
We're kind of all over the place on this story.
You know how we talked about athletes have to invent themselves, reinvent themselves, have to have a second act.
Clearly, Innes Cantor is positioning himself for something bigger than basketball when his career is said and done.
Now he's sort of more of a backup.
He's the backup center on the Celtics now.
He's been on five teams in as many years.
This is not new, though.
I don't think so.
He went after Erdogan.
He went after Erdogan.
It started with Erdogan.
You're not afraid of Erdogan.
You're not afraid of LeBron James.
And he can't go back to Turkey.
They've revoked his visa or his passport.
He can't go back there.
He's been talking about free Tibet.
He's obviously calling out the Uyghurs that are going on in China.
This is something that he's doing consistently.
And he looks at LeBron, and he's got on the court and off-the-court beef with LeBron.
They've had some issues.
But the NBA needs someone like Innes Cantor to sort of be the thorn in people's side.
LeBron's getting too comfortable.
You have to.
I mean, LeBron's had a rough week.
They came back after being out for a month.
Injury.
Now this insult.
He got suspended.
You know how much he got suspended for that one game?
Isaiah Stewart.
Yeah, Isaiah Stewart.
He's losing, what does it say here?
Probably 500 grand or something.
Yeah, like 300 grand for the one game.
The other guy who has never even heard his name before is losing 45 grand out two games.
LeBron's had a rough week, but.
I hope he can recover.
Yeah, I think he's going to be.
I think he's going to be all right.
For Face of the League to be that way.
This is the thing, right?
Like, do you expect anything different?
I do, actually.
Look a little bit deeper than, you know, who Skip Shannon Shannon Sharp says on Skip and Shannon that LeBron can't ever come out and say he's friends with Louis Farrakhan.
All right.
He's reading Malcolm X. He's reading.
Not that this is bad.
This is good stuff to read.
But he uses Nation of Islam language when he talks.
He talks about I stand up for my people.
There's this weird LA vibe where there's this nouveau kind of like nationalism that's coming out where this type of rhetoric becomes incredibly, incredibly familiar to people that have heard this before.
I think, and this is just pure speculation, but this is a podcast and I can speculate.
I think that there are some influences that are pretty extreme that have found their way into LeBron's life.
I think that there's a lot of influences, especially within the wealthy black community right now, that are nation of Islam/slash Marxist in nature.
And it's becoming this cultural epicenter where they've got these rich, attractive, charismatic cultural icons within the black community specifically.
And that's where there's going to trickle down.
They're going to divulge the Marxist and the nationalist rhetoric.
And you're hearing it more and more.
And if you know what you're listening for, it's pretty obvious.
So I don't know.
I think for someone like Innes Cantor, here's something like that.
He's a pretty well-read guy.
He's like, this is bullshit.
This guy's full of it.
This guy's spewing nonsense.
And he wants to take him to task about it.
Well, as I always tell you, Gerard, you got globalists and you got nationalists, federalists over here.
And you got to pick a side.
Good job.
Okay.
Hey, Kai, you want to come and tell us what the merch drop you want to do here?
No.
Tell us what this merch drop is.
Brand new merch here.
So, what's the merch we got?
Let's go, Adam.
I am so curious to know how many this is going to be.
So this guy's wearing the shirt.
This guy's wearing the shirt.
You got to get the autograph.
I'm going to get my autograph, bro.
That's insanity.
Let's go at him.
At least your name made it on your shirt.
This guy's pretty good, bro.
Yeah, maybe they'll make some songs about you.
Let's go, Adam.
Let's go, Adam.
Say that again.
You got what?
Here, tell us.
Adam wanted merch, so we made him some merch.
Now he can be represented on the southern ball.
So tell us about what you got.
Today only we have 20% off flat off the store, the whole store, for an early Black Friday offer.
So people can go ahead to VT Merch, and they'll also find the Let's Go Adam shirts where they can support it.
We have new hats and we have a bunch of other stuff, some mugs and some stuff up there, so they can go to vtmerch.com.
Okay, so you're doing what?
You're also doing if you spend over 50, you spend it.
Over 50, they get free shipping.
And then if they spend over 40, they get the 20%.
Tell us about these hats as well.
These hats are imperial hats.
They're more of a breathable, flex kind of material where they can definitely be more durable for any sporting events or if you're outside, kind of an active fit on that end.
Okay.
All good.
And for those of you guys that love Adam and you want to buy that shirt, there's only 100 of them.
So first hundred that put the link below.
You'll get it.
But after 100, it sells out.
So anyways, hey, we will let you know.
I think, are we scheduled for Thursday?
We don't know yet, but we will let you know if we'll do a podcast on Thursday or not.
We may do an emergency podcast in the next, I don't know, maybe next, it could be tomorrow, it could be the next day.
Stay tuned.
We'll text when we do an emergency podcast.
It's going to be pretty big announcements about Mafia States.
If we're ready, if we're not, it looks incredible, by the way.
I don't want to get anybody scared.
It's going to be insane.
Well, Sammy did guarantee that it would be out by the end of the year.
So we got to now see whether we're going to do that or not.
Anyways, hey, if we don't do this, happy Thanksgiving to you.
