You want to ush it on some second chick sweet victory?
I know this life may show me.
Why would you pet on Goliath when we got bet tape?
Value payment, giving values contagious.
This world of entrepreneurs, we can't no value to hate it.
I didn't run, homie.
Look what I become.
I'm the one.
I think you should talk about it.
That's about today's podcast sponsor.
Tom's outfit from Brooklyn.
Tom just played nine holes and walked.
Oh, yeah.
Like, let's go.
Boom.
If there's anybody who played nine holes before coming in today, it's Adam.
He's been up since 4 o'clock in the morning.
Early morning golf.
It was glowing.
Anyway.
I can legitimately say this is the first time in my life that 4 o'clock in the morning was the time that I woke up not going to.
Well, we're proud of you.
We just want to say publicly we're proud of you.
Nine holes before nine hours.
And what I'm even more proud of is the drive from Orlando to here.
How fast were you going?
What's the fastest you went?
Honestly.
Oh, I hit 100 a couple of days.
No, you didn't.
I swear.
No, you did.
Which is a big thing.
Were you shaking?
Were you like, I'm doing this?
I was crying halfway.
No.
But we're alluding to the fact that Pat, I'm not a big speed guy.
Can I tell the car?
Oh my God, this guy's.
Which one?
The Bentley or everything.
Well, there's multiple stories.
One thing that I know about.
Yeah, right.
One thing I know about Pat, difference to him and I, Pat, very influenced by the original Top Gun.
He has a need for speed.
Something about it.
Straight up.
We're in a Bentley in L.A.
We hit 150.
He goes, let's try it one more time.
160.
In a Bentley in LA on the 405, what was that?
He was making this shit up.
We were going 65 miles an hour.
I'm making this.
10-2.
Who the hell can go 165 on the 405?
165.
165.
You saw how Pat subtly corrected me.
Yeah.
165, by the way, 160.
Correct.
And then, you know, the Porsche you just bought.
Yeah, it's sick.
I made a video.
Oh, we'd be like, it was mine.
We hit like mocking.
More all calls me.
She says, congratulations on the car.
I haven't posted a picture.
She says, no, Vinny made a video, but I've been inviting with your car.
Pat's half Assyrian, half Armenian.
Like everybody knows.
Armenians in Glendale drive like they're all late for something.
They all BMWs and it's just where they going.
Nowhere.
The mother's outside.
It's got to be easy.
It's got to be late for something or it's the old adage, drive it like you stole it.
Yeah.
As if everyone in Glendale, you know, it's an easy place to be a cop in Glendale.
100%.
Just stand somewhere.
Don't even work.
Sit and just skip tickets here.
Someone's going to be speeding.
So I guess the question is, is this in your blood?
Like have to speed up.
Have you ever seen my dad drive?
Listen, my dad got his driver's license in the U.S., not Iran, in 84.
From 84 till today, he's not once gotten a ticket.
One time cop pulled him over.
I don't know for what reason.
He got upset at the cop.
He says, how dare you pull me over?
Go look at my record.
I follow the law is what I do.
The cop felt so bad he let my dad go.
My dad is a, yes, what does that have to do with the fact that you go 165 on the regular?
I have to balance it out.
I got to balance it out.
I got to balance it out.
It skips a generation is what you're saying.
So listen, we got a lot of things to go through.
We got some.
Did you guys see Dano White's response to when people say you need to take some time away to think about what you did?
I didn't.
Have you seen that?
Have you guys seen that at all?
Okay, first of all, we'll cover that.
And they put noted marriage counselor Vince back on the board.
Yeah, they did.
Vince McMahon back on the board.
Apparently he's about to sell it to Saudi Arabia.
There's some rumors about it.
There you go.
As if Harry needs any more help selling his book.
We'll talk about his book and something's to do with frostbite penis.
What is it?
He got frostbite.
What was that?
What was that?
Frostbitten penis.
Frost snip on his Trodger.
On his right way of saying it.
That's what it said.
Todger.
Apparently he said in the book that he was, they had him so he could give spare parts and organs to his older brother.
That's what he said in the book.
He said that in the book.
Why would anybody write that?
I mean, you got to know yourself.
Printed it.
All right, we'll talk about it.
We'll help him sell another hundred.
It was a solid thing.
It just shatter.
And then a few other things.
By the way, did you guys see YouTube's new profanity policy?
Have you seen the new YouTube profanity profanity policy?
We'll talk about that as well.
And then we got some things to talk about with obviously nothing to see.
The Biden documents.
It's not a big deal, but we'll cover a little bit more.
Oh, and there's nothing there to see.
Nothing to see there either.
Yeah, we'll cover that.
We'll cover what World Bank Cuts 2023 global growth projections are with inflation.
Jerome Powell confronts his peers and says, listen, guys, we got to focus on the economy, not climate change.
We'll talk about that.
Tom's got some commentary on Microsoft.
First puts a billion dollars in Chat GBT.
Now they're thinking about putting another 10 billion.
Laid-off workers are flooded with fake job offers.
That's a Wall Street Journal article.
Stick around for that one.
Identity thing.
TikTok CEO plans to meet European Union regulators.
U.S. flight disruptions mount after FAA grounding order ends.
It's just another reflection of what a great job Pete Butichic is doing.
Like, you know, that's one of those things he's got to be proud of with his job.
NBC execs regret giving Jimmy Fallon 80 million.
We'll talk about that.
We got a few maybe Tate conversations we'll have.
Bill Cosby wants to go on the tour.
I'm concerned if he does go on the tour.
We'll cover that as well.
And then Jamil Hill blasts ex-colleague Stephen A. Smith for taking it easy on Dana White and maybe a few other stories.
But Tom, let's get right into the Jimmy Fallon story.
Sounds like you got some stuff you want to talk about there.
If you want to go to page nine on what's going on with Jimmy Fallon, by the way, do you like Jimmy Fallon?
Between him and Kimmel, do you like Fallon?
I love Kimmel Fallon.
Fallon is very likable.
Two things, Pat.
One, 100% Fallon.
They're all, obviously, they're all politically biased and they all do their one, like, remember all the videos of Kimmel, though.
Kimmel.
Fallon just did one this week.
Kimmel is the Kimmel, the most hypocritical.
Think about it.
He's the biggest Chit Talker Trump to everybody.
Everybody, Man Show.
He did Blackface.
He did Shaq.
All the biggest mobs.
He did Carl Malone.
He did Carl Malone.
My bad.
He didn't do Shaq.
But just unconscious.
It's just not funny anymore.
It's not funny.
The hypocrisy is not funny.
It's not funny.
When he did Carl Malone, some would say that was funny.
But the act of, you know, as if you walk on water.
That's my problem.
That's the part that you lose credit on.
If we're talking about comedy and late night comedians and Fallon and Kimmel and these guys, Seth Meyers, I'm missing one.
Colbert.
The whole premise with comedy is being able to have misdirection.
Oh, I didn't see that one coming.
That came out of nowhere.
That's a little bit of a job.
Like the joke he did.
Like the joke came out of freaking nowhere.
But when you know where the joke starts and where it ends, so Donald Trump's house just got married.
Like, you know where it's ending.
Yeah.
So you're just like, and as to a current comedian, former comedian, it's like, if I'm looking at, I don't really watch a lot of late night.
But if I do and I just kind of want to have some general entertainment and you already know where the joke is headed, it's like by the way, we do have to shoot.
So this morning, we have a tragic story that, like, we're trying to have a good time.
All of a sudden, some guy comes in, giving us an article, emotional article.
We're all laughing here until this guy brings this story.
It's a kid that's in court.
You got to talk to me here.
Crazy.
Kid is in court.
He's, you know, he's been living with the people.
Parents are getting divorced.
Parents are getting the divorce, a custody battle.
Do you want to go with mom or dad?
And they say, no, I don't want to go with my mom or my dad.
Terrible situation.
They both beat him.
Then the aunt is sitting there.
Do you want to go with the aunt?
He says, no, she beats me twice as much.
Oh, my God.
This thing gets, I mean, the judge at this point.
The grandparents beat everybody beats me.
Everybody says, so they finally, they're so confused.
They said, where should we give this kid's custody battles to?
He chose the Dallas Cowboys because they don't beat anybody.
Okay.
Oh, that was hilarious.
So let's go into this.
By the way, just we're on this topic.
Do you watch any of these late night shows?
Because Greg Gutfeld's very basic Fox Nose is like the number one.
Well, let me first read this story and we'll have this exchange.
So NBC exec regret paying Jimmy Fallon 80 million contract extension as Fox News, Greg Gutfeld beats tonight's show in ratings.
Tonight's your host, Jimmy Fallon, is reportedly losing the rating award to Fox News rival Greg Gutfield.
The show is currently drawing in less than one and a half, 1.3 million viewers compared to Gutfield's 2.5 million.
Damn.
And even less than Stephen Colbert's late show on CBS, Fallon signed $80 million out of a five-year extension with NBC nearly 19 million months ago, but has attracted 30 million subscribers to his YouTube channel.
But this does not drive up ad rates for the regular show.
There had already been shake-ups in the production staff, and Fallon's contract may not protect him from further changes.
NBC may consider buying out Fallon's contract and replacing him with a host who can bring in more viewers.
Pat, Tom.
I found this really interesting today because I saw Fallon and then I saw like three other articles on big payouts going to NFL coaches getting fired.
And this guy, Matt Rule, Carolina Panthers, he had gotten a four-year extension for $40 million.
So what happens is at the peak, you know, NBC or the NFL or another sports league, they give these guys big extensions and then they don't play out.
So suddenly Jimmy Fallon basically goes one and eight to start the year.
He's not driving his ad rates up.
His YouTube channel isn't helping the tonight show because it's like, wow, he's on social media.
He's got this and this and it's helping us.
And so there's a real little mini case study here, but the NFL has it right.
I looked up into NFL contracts.
This is very interesting.
And it doesn't sound like NBC did this with Fallon.
We were talking about non-compete yesterday.
Yep.
Right.
Well, in the NFL, when you get fired, it's called please compete.
And let me explain what that means.
Please compete with me.
In the NFL, Matt Ruhl, under the terms of his agreement, which is with the team, but there's also a jurisdictional element with the NFL.
Matt Rule is going to get that $40 million.
But from who?
In the NFL, if they put in contracts, if you're under the age of 60, what's called the mitigation clause, you have to go out and find another job.
You have to.
And the NFL has got a whole team of lawyers and investigators that follow you around.
And they're actually making phone calls for you, getting you hooked up with colleges or other teams.
You want to know why?
Let's say, Pat, you're the owner of the Carolina Panthers.
You're on the hook per the contract for $40 million for Matt Rule because you're firing him after a one in four start and he lost the locker room.
Get out.
So it's one of the rare firings in the middle of the season.
Well, you're on the hook for 40, unless maybe he goes back to Baylor and gets a five-year, $20 million contract.
That gets deducted from the $40.
You don't have to do that.
You only owe $20.
So you don't owe him $20.
Exactly right.
And so this happens all over the place in the NFL.
Cliff Kingsbury, Arizona Cardinals, people are really, oh, he had a $20 million extension.
They owe him $20 unless Cliff gets another job.
But Tom, let's stay on this topic here.
So it's interesting you're saying this.
So in other words, if I, you mean to tell me if somebody right now called NBC and said, hey, if CNN called NBC, they don't have the money to, but if CNN called NBC and said, hey, we'll take that contract away from you.
Just ship him to us.
You mean to tell me they can't take that money away from NBC and pay that to him?
Typically, we don't know what the fine print of Jimmy Fallon's contract says, but typically in media, they pay the money to keep Fallon on his couch just in case.
They wouldn't want him to go to CNN and maybe blow up and be the old Jimmy Fallon competing with them.
Wow.
They don't want that.
So they'd rather pay him the money.
He sits on his couch, figures out what projects he's going to do, what he's going to invest in.
He probably becomes a producer, executive producer, starts putting money into things that he wants to do.
But the NFL's got it figured out.
Instead of non-compete, it's please compete.
Go get another job.
Tomorrow.
What a great concept for NFL.
I mean, I understand what that means.
Go take the money elsewhere.
Go make the money elsewhere.
But for Greg Gutfell, so NBC is free cable, isn't it?
It's free TV.
Anybody has access to it.
Sure, sure.
Anything to buy.
It's Fox News free cable.
It's not.
You have to pay for it, right?
You have to pay for cable to watch Greg Guttfeld.
So let me get this straight.
The one with the free audience is losing the one that you have to pay to watch it.
100% buy 2X.
By the way, that is absolutely embarrassing to think about.
And the most successful producer right now in all of the universe of cable and television is Greg Gutfeld.
He created the five.
He owns a big chunk of that show.
He's the most successful in the biggest viewership.
He's king right now.
And Pat, going off of what Adam said too, Pat, you know why?
Check to see what Kimmel is getting.
Kimmel's getting to see if he's beating both of them.
Come on.
And Pat, when people say that.
And when people say why, you know why Pat Gutfeld is out there, Tom?
When you watch him on that couch and that's who he is there.
And when he walks into your house and you're partying, he's that same guy.
When you watch CNN and shit, you think, like, would you want to be at a party and see any of these anchors from Lemon or whenever Cuomo's in there?
They have an agenda, bro.
People like real shit.
You know why Tucker's up there?
Because Tucker is the same off as he is on.
CNN and all these networks, bro, they're not.
That's why these guys are killing it.
And they're baffled by CNN and all these left-wing political people are going down, bro.
Look at this.
Adam.
Yeah, well, let's just kind of go back a second.
Okay, just think about where we're at in America right now.
Here we go.
Here we are, guys.
Kumbaya.
Not too long ago, 40 years ago, 40 years ago, beginning of our lifetime, there was one king of late night.
His name was Johnny Carson.
Best.
Jay, Johnny.
And it was like the Walter Cronkite for News in the 60s, what have you.
Johnny Carson in the 70s, 80s, if you made it onto Carson as a comedian, as a performer, that's it.
Done.
You're now famous.
Remember, comedians would do their four-minute bit, and if they got invited to the couch, it was like you were a major comedy.
I mean, Tom, when you made it to the couch that one time in 1976, when you started off in comedy, it was like groundbreaking.
That was the business started right there.
How you made it here.
Thank God the BizDocs here today.
Fired up.
But now we're at a point in America now where there's so much competition.
Every single one of these.
Then it went from Carson.
It went to Leno and Letterman.
That was two guys, right?
Now you have in the rankings of order, you have Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel, Seth Meyers.
Coco.
And who's Coco?
Conno Brian.
Oh, Cono Brian was the best.
He's the best.
He's the best.
He got what he got.
But now it's so saturated, and they're all kind of cannibalizing each other.
Each of these shows.
Like, if you add up their numbers, Colbert's at 2.1 million.
Fallon's at 1.3.
Kimmel's a little over a million.
So you're talking four and a half collective on the big three.
Gutfeld is beating Kimmel and Fallon Kamal.
Gutfeld's at 2.3 million.
So this is what I'm saying.
The five is the number of people.
Hey, Tom, thanks, buddy.
We'll get right back to you.
Thank you.
Can I make my point?
Yeah, make it.
Like Sisco and Ebert over here.
But here's the deal.
Gutfeld, I watched it last night, ironically.
He's not a comedian.
No, he's not funny.
No, he's not even that entertaining.
He is himself.
Exactly.
Okay.
He's not a stand-up comedian.
Not at all.
He's entertaining.
He's got opinions.
That's great.
But when you have three, this is kind of what I was saying before.
When you already know where the joke is going, and you have three Colbert, Kemmel, Fallon, and it just kind of Fallon at one point was amazing with the roots when it first started.
They're doing the music and the carpo karaoke.
Is James Corden still doing his show, by the way?
I haven't seen that.
He's trying to get into that restaurant.
Essentially, this is where I'm going with this.
Gutfeld has blue ocean strategy written all over him.
Everyone's going this way.
Let's just go this way and let's just stay true to ourselves.
I'm not shocked that he's the number one king of late night, but it's not because he's super, super amazingly talented and hilarious and has awesome stuff.
No, it's just that it's the same old shit over here on the left.
Yep.
And he's just going a different direction.
And you know what it got really worried, Pat?
I said this before.
COVID killed comedy for all those people.
Because as soon as you start dancing and going, gay, jab yourself with the buy.
I'm done.
I'm done.
Was it COVID or was it Trump?
Because Trump started it.
Yo, 100%.
But COVID killed it.
Because when they had needles on whatever, like, Jab, what was that?
That was Colbert.
That made me go by.
Look at this shit.
Like, put a needle in your arm.
That's just propaganda, but that's what I'm saying.
That's where you know it was going.
Thank you.
Do you remember when Jon Stewart went on Colbert and they talked about China?
How uncomfortable was he?
How uncomfortable was Colbert?
Do you remember that?
Jon Stewart's like Jon Stewart, who is as liberal and as a bastion of liberal ideas as it gets.
Bill Maher, Jon Stewart.
And he's like, so how about that lab leak?
Colbert's like, no, it definitely came from a bad bat.
What bat do you know?
It was that John Stewart.
It was Zuru.
With the unkept beard and the longer hair.
Correct.
And it's like Jon Stewart's been in the tool shed behind his house for two years.
That was it.
Look at him.
Look at the body language.
Look how far.
They're going to kill us off.
And they're best friends, by the way.
100%.
So it just, it's, I don't know.
It's awkward.
You guys said a lot.
You made a very good point.
Going back, only one option.
Now there's a lot of options.
The numbers you gave, Gutfield beating Kemmel and Fallon at the same time.
I do have a recommendation for NBC.
There's a guy you can get for proud.
I can negotiate a good price for you guys.
His name is Marcelo Hernandez.
He's on SNL.
I guarantee you, keep your eyes on him.
One of those two is going to lose him.
Either NBC is going to pick him up or the other guy's going to pick him up.
That guy's going to be a little bit more.
I would watch that show.
I would watch that show all the time.
That's where you're going.
No, I like that guy a lot.
He's a talent.
You know what it is?
Here's one of the biggest things that happens to everybody.
You have to be aware of.
You have to be aware of.
So you go into the NBA.
First time you go into the NBA, you play against the great ones.
And you say, oh, my God, I'm on the same floor with freaking Kobe Jordan.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe I have to guard Jordan tonight.
Imagine you just got to the NBA.
You're Reuben Patterson.
You're guarding Michael Jordan.
You're Byron Russell, Brian Russell, and you're guarding Michael Jordan.
Dominique's brother, Gerald Wilkins, the Jordan style.
New York.
You're going to go.
So, man, how was your day today?
Dude, I can't even believe, dog.
You know, when he was doing the tour, he made that one shot.
I didn't even know how to block it.
I tried.
I got close.
But this guy, there's a reason why to come.
And you're having this conversation.
It's a childlike conversation, right?
So, you know, you're a comedian.
You get your first shot like Marcelo called the other day, Zoom.
You won't believe this.
I'm this.
And then he picks me up.
Chappelle calls us.
And then we drive up and then in front of this, and I cannot believe it.
And I'm at Madison Square Garden.
I'm like, I'm watching this guy.
He could have gone 30 more minutes.
I would have listened to him because I'm watching a kid's dream become a reality.
It's a beautiful moment to witness, man, when it becomes a reality, right?
It's when you win in business.
It's when you, you know, in so many different ways, when you become a parent the first time and you're emotional and all that, and then comes 10 years later, and then you become arrogant, ungrateful, you lose perspective, and then you're no longer that likable.
Now your interview is like, yeah, we lost in the playoffs.
So what?
I'm still making 18 million a year.
I'm going to go to my beautiful house.
I'm going to go do this LeBron.
Yeah, that's annoying.
If you go watch Jimmy Fallon's, what do you call this audition?
I think you told me about it.
You've been blown out of your mind.
I mean, you watch this guy.
You're like, then you want to see this guy win, right?
So sometimes somebody, I was talking to a guy yesterday who's in deep trouble.
And no, it's not Andrew Tate, although he's also in trouble.
But I was talking to this other guy.
And I was saying to him, that guy's going in this trail of the Fallon Kimmel trail where you're becoming annoying and you're becoming too arrogant.
I'm like, who's he talking to that can kind of give him a different perspective?
Because sometimes when you're in the Kimmel position or a Fallon position, you're in a web and you're stuck and no one's telling you what you need to hear to pivot to one direction.
Nobody is.
Everybody around you is just telling the same, So you just keep going.
Then all of a sudden you become this arrogant guy that we have to fire and replace you with somebody else that's a little bit more excited to be there that can stay childlike.
This is why the people who win long term stay childlike the longest.
Elon Musk is still childlike.
Whoever stays childlike, not childish, childlike the longest wins.
This morning, you know, we're sitting here saying what you're saying about Tom.
You know what feeling I got from Tom this morning?
Childlike.
I got this going on.
I got that going on.
I got this going on.
I got that going on.
I got this going on.
I got that going on.
It's like an excited kid that's got so many things to look forward to, right?
So being childlike has nothing to do with your age.
It has to do with a mindset to stay fresh, especially when your job is to entertain.
If your job is to make deals, who gives a shit?
But if your job is to entertain, you best stay childlike.
And Gret Gutfeld to me, every time I see him, the guy's childlike.
That's why he's.
Do you watch Gutfeld?
Any of you guys?
I've seen him.
I've seen his clips.
I watch him on YouTube.
I like his monologues.
You can tell.
You know what I like about his monologues?
He'll say a joke.
It's like, yeah, that was not a good one.
Let me rip this one out.
Well, you know what?
That was good.
Okay, you guys like that one.
It's a very, he has a relationship.
So that's not a company.
And you know what's different too?
He's in front of a live audience.
There's people there, which adds another element to it, which I like.
I want to know, like, if you're the CBS showrunner, the executive, if you're doing NBC, ABC, and it was just circle back 2016, 2017, it's so easy to just start shitting on Trump.
It's such a weird time in America.
Of course you are.
And believe me, they would mess with Obama nowhere near Trump.
I mean, not even close.
At what point does the showrunner or the producer say, hey, listen, we have officially lost half our audience.
Why don't we be the ones to like bring this back in just a little?
Let's beat, let's say you're, because Fallon doesn't go over the top like Kimmel or Colbert.
So I'm just wondering, are they, they must see these numbers and they must be like, what the fuck are we doing?
I think it's laziness too, Tom, not to cut you off.
I think it's laziness as a production team.
Like, why talk about anything else?
Just trump it up.
But I like what you said.
All it took is one of them to go, guys, let everybody talk about Trump.
That's all everybody's talking about.
Let's just be creative.
Let's go talk about other shit, not just this guy.
Like I've said this before, CNN, the only way – because CNN is losing money left and right.
The only way they're going to – And center.
And center.
Fan Center is if, I'm telling you right now, Trump, because DeSantis, I don't know if it's going to help them.
If Trump wins the election, CNN's going to be right back on top because that's all they're going to do.
That's all you're going to talk about.
I think DeSantis is going to hurt everybody's ratings because there's nothing that funny about him.
Yeah, you do Navy Scale.
You Navy Chief, you good Christian, wholesome man.
Let's hear from our campaign.
I think you get to the core of it.
You're asking, is there a showrunner?
I think they all live in a bubble.
They're living in a bubble, which orange man, bad, conservative, slap them, anti-vaxxers are unpatriotic, and their loons are fringe, their right-wing fringe.
When you do that, you are ignoring the mass of the audience.
And I think there was a day where that was cared about.
But I think media in the bubble, I honestly don't think those late nights, I think they are, to a large degree, they're reading talking points.
And it is kind of propagandist.
I remember Letterman's first show on CBS after the deals were done, the big thing, they opened the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York.
Letterman does his first show.
He's doing his opening monologue.
And Letterman had this real nostalgic sense about NBC because NBC gave him a shot.
He was almost the successor to Johnny Carson.
He ends up on the after Johnny Carson saw it, and it was amazing.
He cracks these two jokes, and then his buddy, Tom Brokaw, NBC News guy, cameos, walks into the CBS studio, takes the big Q cards and says, Dave, I'm really disappointed.
Those last two jokes were the intellectual property of NBC.
I'm taking him down the street.
And he walks off the stage.
And Letterman looks at the camera and says, and this was the shot for Warren Littlefield at NBC.
He says, that's odd.
I didn't think you could use intellectual property and NBC in the same sentence.
Oh, wow.
And it was, but it was funny.
And it was truly funny.
And you looked at the balance and you looked at what Leno was doing and what Letterman was doing.
And it was a political slap on parade.
And I think they've lost that.
I think now media is in a bubble and they've lost it.
I think something that you said that I want to highlight and go deeper on is the writers.
So who are the writers?
Conan O'Brien was that writer, by the way.
Yeah, at one point.
On the literature with Daniel Letterman.
Yep.
But who are the writers?
Well, if you talk about, you know, 10 to 1 liberal professors to conservative professors at school.
So if you go to school or if you're in the media, entertainment, writing, performing, liberal arts, liberal art part of the school, you tend to be more liberal.
So now, just using basic numbers, let's say there's 10 applicants and nine of them lean liberal, right?
Yeah.
I mean, you did comedy.
How many are more conservative versus liberal in comedy?
Comedy is a lot more liberal.
80, 90%.
Yes.
So that's the candidates.
That's the pool of talent.
So that's what they're going to start writing to.
So, I mean, who's doing all the writing?
The Jews.
I mean, they're doing it.
Cancel Adams.
Typically, more liberal-minded people.
And that's who's writing these jokes.
So I think you're absolutely spot on.
It's time to talk about it.
Let's go to the next step.
They're reading talking points on writers.
Let's go to the next story.
Let's go to the next story with Microsoft GPT, Tom.
They originally put a billion into it.
Now they're going to 10 billion.
Let's read this article here that we have.
So Microsoft reportedly plans to invest $10 billion to create a buzzy AI tool, ChatGPT.
This is an NBC, NBC News story.
A startup behind a popular AI tool, ChatGPT, as part of a funding round that would value OpenAI $29 billion, according to reports.
The deal would give Microsoft a 75% share of OpenAI profits until it recoups its investment, after which the company would assume a 49% stake in OpenAI.
Damn.
Like 49%.
The reports state that the deal has not been finalized yet and that the plan was to close the deal by the end of 2022.
OpenAI ChatGPT is natural language processing model, which can generate next that appears to be written by human.
It is widely used to be developing code and writing essays.
This spit on ChatGPT may help Microsoft in its web search efforts, Tom.
Microsoft is a genius.
And you look back.
Once upon a time, Apple was struggling.
And Steve Jobs calls Bill Gates and says, listen, Apple's going to go bankrupt, but we need your help.
And Gates came up with $150 million.
And it was on the cover of Time magazine, Steve Jobs on the phone that says, thank you, Bill.
The world is a better place because Apple and Microsoft can coexist.
Microsoft sold that a couple years later for $550 million.
Had they held that until Apple peak last February, you know what that would have been worth?
$122 billion.
If they would have held it.
If they would have held that.
And by the way, they thought they had made bank.
Hey, we gave Apple $150.
We just got $550 back.
Half a billion.
Wahoo.
Microsoft is really smart about this stuff.
And you notice they're holding it at 49%.
And by the way, they've already invested a billion in this.
They know what they're doing.
And they're on top of it.
And they're going to make money on this.
Do you remember something called Encarta?
It's funny.
Do you know what that is?
Encarta?
Encarta was a CD.
It's like a little DVD CD, and it was an unbelievable dictionary.
It was like four times the content of the set of World Book encyclopedias, if anybody remembers what those were.
And that was what Microsoft believed was, there it is, 1995, was an information resource for your computer.
And remember, Microsoft said, you know, this internet thing is probably going to come and go because they saw it like Prodigy or AOL.
So they were wrong about that.
Since that moment, Microsoft has not been wrong.
These guys are going to make money on this, and this is a really smart move.
And you go back and look at what they did with Apple.
They're a kingmaker.
Do you think OpenAI has what it takes to be a trillion-dollar company?
I mean, another trillion-dollar company?
Do you think it has a shot of being a trillion-dollar company in 10 years?
Absolutely.
Okay, so that's a half a billion dollar valuation added to Microsoft.
Yeah, at least.
Well, I mean, 49% is you're talking about.
You mean half a trillion?
Half a trillion.
What did I say?
You said half a billion.
Half a billion is nothing.
It's a half a trillion dollars.
Yeah, this is another $500 billion.
I'm sorry, half a trillion dollars.
$500 billion added to valuation.
Gotcha.
Yeah, that's another half a billion on the Microsoft stock price.
I am surprised others are not going in.
Every once in a while, you get some kind of a company that comes along like this that you can, you're seeing the results of what it's capable of doing.
We're not talking about FTX.
You know, we're talking about you can sit there.
You know what the biggest complaint is?
Yesterday I posted a video about what is ChatGPT and who's behind it.
You know what's the most common tweet I got back from people?
Here's the most common response.
Stop talking about ChatGPT.
I use it daily and every time you guys talk about it, the website crashes.
You're right.
Wait.
So you shot that?
Did it go out yet?
What do you mean?
Did the video?
Video went out yesterday.
Okay, I want to watch that because here's the question I have.
Generally, sometimes it's better to ask questions.
I mean, I don't know much about this.
Why are people using it?
Because my assumption, at least initially, is, hey, I'm a 20-year-old college kid.
Time to write that essay.
Thanks, ChatGPT.
Why are people using it?
Like, what are they using it for?
I'm not doubting why someone would use it.
What are the reasons they're using it?
Ready for this?
And this is off school, right?
Right now, I could say go on it right now.
Yeah, right now I can say this.
I need a sketch.
Shot Friday.
I need some ideas.
I just put in their little search thing, come up with 50 sketch ideas.
That's what it says.
Chat GBT is at capacity right now.
We can't even get in.
That's how many people are trying to get on.
Yeah, that's how many college kids are trying to get their essays written for late at Tom.
He's talking.
It's basically doing all the work for you so you don't have to.
It's the robots doing all the work.
And I mean, then you could take, it's, I don't know, bro.
So, so writing papers.
It's writing papers.
So, for example, I'll give you an idea.
So, let's just say you're about to interview Elon Musk or you're about to interview.
You've heard about that?
It's coming up.
You're about to interview whoever.
Let's just say you're interviewing somebody you're looking forward to.
You say, give me 10 questions.
No one's ever asked Elon Musk in an interview.
It'll give you 10 questions.
And make it original, too.
Hey, give me, it can now write code.
Oh, my God.
It can write code.
It can make rap songs.
It can make real, it can make, I mean, it's the capability.
And by the way, this is 1.0.
Yeah.
This is not 2.0, 3.0, 5.0.
Not at all.
This is 1.0.
Go ahead, Tom.
I'll ask one quick question.
The usage of this thing is so spreadwide.
It is like the internet for AI.
If you think of it that way, it's that big.
When do you think they will have, on a trailing 12-month, 12-month basis, a billion dollars in revenue?
And I'll help you out.
Your answer will be in months.
Wow.
How many months until they will have a trailing billion dollars in revenue?
Six months.
What are their revenue sources?
Is it advertising?
Because is this open to the public?
How do they make money?
Usage.
The answer is 17 months.
Before the end of 2024, they will be running a billion-dollar revenue company.
Not valuation because the VC thought, oh, I'll give you your unicorn valuation.
Revenue.
Okay.
And GPT-4, there we go.
GPT-4, there it is, is coming, and that's just going to accelerate it further.
And GPT-4, by the way, Feel is putting a billion dollars on here.
The Planeteer guys.
Are they public yet, Tom?
Palantir guys?
Palantir.
Yeah.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
But how are they driving revenue?
Is it all $7.99 a week?
I believe it's going to be $7.
Can you look to see how much it's going to be per week?
Do you have to pay for this?
It's a plug-in license.
That's basically the way it works.
Plug into what?
Whatever you want.
What are you plugging into?
You could plug it into a term paper website.
And so you and I run a turn paper website.
People can go in and build turn paper.
We pay a plug-in licensing fee every time it's used.
There's a subscription model built into it.
Correct.
But is that how they're going to make the majority of their revenue or is it going to be sponsors, advertising, that kind of stuff, ad revenue?
I think it's D, all of the above.
And because right now, Adam, you could go in and it'll print something that's only like two or three pages for you or like a page.
You have to pay to get the full.
You know what I mean?
Gotcha.
By the way, when did this launch?
A month or two ago?
November.
Wow.
It launched in six.
It's the fastest ever to get to a million users.
How do you think Rob got all this?
You think Rob did this on the podcast?
Rob didn't do that.
Rob didn't even do this.
By the way, Tom.
By the way, give me a podcast out there.
Here's what people don't even know.
This is why Greg Gutfield's beating everybody.
That's it.
That's who's writing this monologue.
You're just holding it.
That's a comedy.
That's not a callback, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, let's get to the next story here.
We figured if you can get into Chat GBT, put a nickel in it.
You're going to make some money on it.
Jerome Powell.
A nickel.
Jerome Powell warns Federal Reserve should not take climate change, should not tackle climate change and social issues as he slaps down woke colleagues.
Ooh, ooh, that's not good to do that in that space.
All right, let's see what he says here.
What page are we on?
It's supposed to be seven.
There you go.
Okay.
Federation Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that the Fed must resist the temptation to tackle social issues such as climate change, saying that taking on new goals such as climate or social policy without a clear statutory mandate would undermine the case for the Fed's independence.
Powell emphasized that the Fed's regulatory powers give it a narrow role to ensure financial institutions appropriately manage the risks they face from climate change, but it should not be a climate policymaker.
He also stated that decisions about policies to directly address climate change should be made by the elected branches of the government and must reflect the public's will as expressed through elections.
What are your thoughts?
By the way, Tomorrow Vivek, who's going to be on, he wrote the book Woke and a couple other books on this topic, one other book on this topic.
He'll be here, ESG.
So Tom, is what he's really saying is ESG can apply to corporations, but not to the Federal Reserve.
Let us do our part.
Don't judge us with our ESG score.
Or is he just saying, let's not get too confused.
Let's run a business here.
Yeah, I think what he's talking about is independence.
He's saying, listen, without a clear mandate, you're going to undermine our independence.
We're supposed to independently look all over the economy, all over legislation and everything, and saying, where should interest rates, discount rates, and these other things be?
We're supposed to be independent on that.
Now you're saying that rates and other things would move and overnight banking rates would change if they want to penalize institutions or industries?
No, I'm with Powell here.
It's like, all right, I know everybody wants to do, and by the way, World Economic Forum, tomorrow they're getting together in Davos.
You know, it's coming up.
Listen, most of the climate change thing is income redistribution.
If you take a look at what's really going on there, and all he's saying is, hey, we're supposed to be independent, fueling the economy with everything that's in that.
Leave us alone and do this.
Because unless there's a mandate to do this, you elected guys do it.
You program guys do it.
You tax guys do it.
And I think that's all he's saying.
And I think he's right.
I just want to say one thing about Jerome Powell.
And just I'm going to reiterate this and reiterate this.
Jerome Powell is the most important person in America today.
It's not Trump.
It's not Biden.
It's not Elon Musk.
It's not this person.
Jerome Powell, as Jerome Powell goes, the country goes at this point.
Everything that's going on with inflation and money printing and stimulus checks and everything.
I mean, is there a person even on Jerome Powell's level right now, including the president of the United States?
Is anybody even touching Jerome Powell's status as far as the most important American in the world right now?
Anybody?
He's up there.
He's up there with the amount of influence that he has.
But what's your point with climate change?
I don't know nothing about climate change.
It's just the fact that that's the stance that he's taking is a very, very.
Yeah, but this is about climate change.
We know he's the most powerful person.
But most people don't know that.
But I'm saying.
But I understand that.
So for a guy this powerful to say what he says about climate change, what's he saying to his peers?
You know what it's like?
It's kind of like when Jon Stewart went to his buddy and he says, so what do you think about the fact that the virus was leaked from Wuhan Lab?
Oh, wait, what do you mean?
It was not a bad?
No, it's not a bad.
When's the last time you saw a bad?
So Jerome Powell is essentially calling out his peers the same way Bill Maher is calling out his own side.
It's the same way Stephen A. Smith is calling out his own side.
It is a very tough position to be in because when you get invited to those parties, which Jerome Powell is going to be at, people are going to go up to him and they're going to say, why would you make those kind of comments?
You know how much progress we were making with climate change?
And then you say something like that.
And you know the media on the opposite side are enemies going to pick it up.
We have to stay united.
You can't say something like that.
So for a guy like that to say that, you know, it just comes across as there is at least somebody with logic that is thinking the way that Jerome Powell is thinking.
By the way.
Don't forget who nominated Jerome Powell.
It was Trump.
Biden kept him.
So here you have someone that's politically agnostic.
Seven years.
He worked for David Rubenstein.
Our good friend.
Yeah.
Seven years.
Wow.
Yeah, he worked for David Rubenstein.
And he's saying this on the eve of Davos, which is coming up over the next seven years.
That's what I'm saying.
For him to say that with the timing of it.
I think he's given the other Fed board of governors also air cover.
He's given them air cover.
From the top, he's saying, we're not going to get involved in this and doing it.
So he would be giving someone like, let's say I'm on the board in St. Louis, the Fed in St. Louis.
He's giving me some air cover because the boss is saying, hey, we're going to worry about fiscal policy and you elected officials, everybody else that are flying your highly pollutant private jets into Davos at this very moment.
You guys can talk about global warming.
And Tom, think of just giving me air cover.
You'll know this.
I mean, what is the purpose of the Fed?
It's there to stamp down inflation, price of goods, unemployment, keep the money supply.
It has nothing to do with social issues or ESG or anything like that.
So that just do your job.
And that's his job.
Independently turn the knobs that help the economy for everyone.
Right.
So respect to Powell.
Good to see he's coming out and saying these type of things is what I'm saying because his voice carries a lot of people.
We need more of this.
Okay, so here's another story.
As white-collar layoffs rise, blue-collar resilience faces test in 2023.
That's a Wall Street Journal story.
No page.
So page six, bottom.
White collar layoffs are starting to rise, and it's uncertain if this trend will spread the blue collar industries as interest rates increase.
According to Labor Department data, average layoffs in the finance and insurance industry went from September to November, nearly doubled from a year earlier.
Job cuts in real estate leasing, brokerage, and information also increased by 20% and 14% over the same period.
However, manufacturers, leisure and hospitality and retail sectors laid off fewer workers in the three months through November compared to a year ago.
Blue-collar sectors are less affected by interest rates, but if demand softens, they might hesitate to fire frontline workers they struggle to hire and retain during the pandemic.
Tom, is there anything to this story we need to be paying attention to?
Yes, there is.
We were talking yesterday on the podcast.
No, day before I said in the podcast, we talked about all the stats and the credit card, and you talked about it's just a matter of time.
It's a ticking bomb.
You're just kicking the can down the road.
First of all, we have to remember things in America are mostly manufactured in China and offshore.
But the manufacturing we do have in America, if those consumers slow down, blue, so I agree with the headline.
Blue collar resilience faces a test.
And the resilience is going to be the resilience in consumer spending and whether they're buying things that are made here in America.
And if they're not, a lot of those blue-collar folks are going to have some challenges.
There's layoffs going all over the place.
You saw Google laid off 15% in three different divisions.
CFO Ruth Porat, really, really sharp.
She's out there, what Google calls other bets, laying off, laying off, laying off.
And that's all because of demand.
And she's saying it's demand-based.
They're not seeing the demand for the other bets that Google's making.
So if credit cards and other things start reducing demand for physical things, because Google is IT, then yeah, I think blue-collar halfway through this year, if it's a real recession, I think we should be seeing some of that.
And I don't look forward to it.
It's going to hurt Core America.
I'll add to that.
Tom, you know, likes to give the more macro perspective.
I'll give more of the micro perspective, how that affects you as your life.
I'm going to channel my inner Warren Buffett.
You know, the one way to be recession-proof or inflation-proof is to be the best at your job.
So we talked about which teachers should get raises and which teachers should be fired.
And you think that you should fire the bottom 10, 20%.
There's no question about it.
No question.
So if you suck at your job, you're probably going to get fired.
But if you're great at your job, you're probably going to keep your job.
You're probably going to get a raise.
And God forbid your company has layoffs.
There's just going to be a job waiting for you.
So at the end of the day, this comes down to personal responsibility, personal accountability, personal finance.
If you're the shit at your job, not shitty at your job, you're going to have a job forever.
If you suck, Goodridden.
Get on that chat chat AI and start using the shit out of us right now.
Exactly.
Get on.
Turn papers for people.
Be the local genius.
This is wonderful.
Thank you.
But I think also there's something what Adam said is, you know what?
Maybe take it easy on discretionary spending first half of the year.
Maybe save that money.
Save that money, save an extra few dollars and see how this is going to play out.
You know, you see those maps, they call them the spaghetti maps with all the possible tracks of a hurricane that's coming toward Florida or the Gulf Coast, right?
Throwing America.
You should be thinking of that.
Like you don't know where it's going to hit, but at some point this year, there's going to be a storm.
What do you do?
Make sure you've got your coat.
Make sure you've kind of ease up on the discretionary spending a little bit and just be ready for whatever it brings.
And if it's an easy year, buy yourself a little extra at the holidays.
I'm thinking of right now, I'm sorry.
Remember, there was a hurricane coming to hit like Florida and then there was like spaghetti maps and then Trump like drew in like marker or cran.
Like it could also go here.
It's like, Trump, he just started drawing it.
Yeah.
I remember this.
He completely just like.
I hope everybody heard Adam's point in my follow-up.
Yeah.
Maybe be prudent this year.
Look out for yourself.
And then if the year doesn't turn out that bad, get yourself a little something nice.
Ultimately, what I'm saying is if there's a wall there, you know, just find a way to get over the wall.
Just get around that wall, buddy.
That's so funny.
Draw yourself an extra little spaghetti cone over there.
All right, let's do let's do another story here with Bill Cosby.
And then I want to go into the declassified documents with President Biden.
If you want to go to page 10, if we go to page 10 here, by the way, what we may do is to have the audience follow with us.
We may give the PDF for people to be able to follow with us as well.
That's something to be thinking about.
Okay.
So Bill Cosby victims slam his plan to tour this year.
Victims of Bill Cosby have expressed their anger at the comedian's plan for a comeback tour after his sexual assault conviction was overturned in 2021.
Andrew Constant, whose testimony played a crucial role in Cosby's 2018 conviction, said that if anybody deserves a comeback comeback tour, it's the woman he traumatized and abused.
Other victims echoed the similar sentiments, expressing their belief that Cosby's reputation is damaged beyond repair and that he will continue to face protests and negative reactions from audiences.
Cosby has been accused of sexual assaults by around 45 women and spent three years in prison for the crime.
So good idea, bad idea.
I mean, all I think about is that first show.
I'm willing to bet most people would go to the show just to see who's showing up to see how they're going to react for this guy having the audacity to do this.
So is he doing it for money?
I don't think so.
I think he's got money.
Is he doing it because he wants to go set the record straight?
Bad way of doing it.
What do you think about the idea of him going on the score?
I mean, think about it.
How old is he?
He's falling apart.
One of his eyes stopped.
He's probably 80-something years old.
Dude, how old is Bill Cosby?
I'm going to say 85.
What, 85?
85 years old.
Right?
Pat, either he just doesn't want to be home.
Yeah, he's hours from being an organ dog.
There's two ways.
Either he just does not want to be home with, you know, doesn't want to deal with that, or he genuinely loves comedy, which I heard, I watched The Comedian, which is an old thing with Jerry Seinfeld and Ornie Adams, and they went to go see Bill Cosby and the theater, date shows.
PAX sold out, and he would do Rob, I think, two and a half hours and just sit there and people would come.
I think he's doing it.
Him personally, he's doing it because he just, bro, he's a comedian and he's been locked up and he's been away.
Think about what his first joke is going to be.
Think about the first thing that's going to come out of his mouth.
So I just flew in from Dallas.
Am I?
I think that's the thing.
Who's going to sell the tickets to this thing?
This is the put you to sleep tour sponsored by Roofie.
You know what I mean?
What are we...
That's a sponsor.
I'm...
This is a very, very weird situation.
And there's another comedian that just had a YouTube video come out about him.
I'm not going to say any names that are worth, by the way.
He started canceling some dates from this other comedian that had a documentary come out about him.
That's not good.
But I mean, do people, if you have fans, some people, some fans don't care.
It'd be interesting.
Tom brought up a good point.
Who's going to sell tickets to this?
Like, Andrew Tate got deplatformed for misogynistic comments from PayPal, from Stripe.
He couldn't actually receive income, but this guy was convicted of raping women.
He's going to go out on tour.
Is Ticketmaster going to be the one that's going to sell those tickets?
Can you back that?
You got the venue, too.
I mean, and hotels, you know, Native Americans running the regional casinos that are very, very popular, Choctaw Casino and things like that.
Which one of those is going to put their brand up, Pat, and allow to put Bill Cosby's name on the big sign in front of their brand?
MGM presents Bill Cosby.
I don't know.
I don't see any major brands distancing, acknowledging him and wanting to promote this guy.
I just don't see it.
Who's going to put their name on an 85-year-old guy?
You're going to attach your wagon to this guy at the tail end of his career when he's trying to clean up his legacy?
You're like, all right.
And I guarantee you.
HBO now presents Bill Cosby.
Hell no.
I will guarantee you guys, Sue, it'll sell out like that.
I don't know.
Watch.
Who the hell's going to sell?
Dude, there's a demand.
I don't disagree.
It's kind of like a train wreck.
Everyone was.
No, no, I don't think it's going to.
It's like the same reason people cannot wait to go watch Chris Rock's show, the first time he's going to talk about what he's going to talk about.
Did you guys see Eddie Murphy's speech this week when he won?
And he says, hey, 46 years I've been an actor.
I've been in the entertainment business 46 years, 41 years acting.
This is the first time I'm winning this.
And he says, there's three things I learned in my career.
Mind your own business, pay your own taxes, and keep Will Smith's wife out of your track.
Yeah, he was brilliant.
What did Eddie Murphy win?
I don't know what he won, but he won for this one show.
And very, very interesting, different kind of an Eddie Murphy you're seeing nowadays.
But for me with this, it's more about him.
Why is he doing it at 85?
Okay.
Why would you do it?
What's your motive of wanting to do it?
You really think people going to 45 women.
This ain't one or two or three.
You're talking about 45 of them.
You think that's people are going to be like, oh, you're forgiven.
We'll move on.
I don't think so.
I don't know about that.
I don't think so.
But he can't leave his, think about it.
He can't leave his house because wherever he goes, there's going to be, so maybe that's his only literally outlet to just get the hell out and sit in a room where people like him so he could tell.
I mean, what are you going to talk about?
I don't even get it.
He's got a lot to talk about.
Man, prison.
Three years of prison.
I think he's just trying to clean up his legacy.
That's uncleanable.
45 women that we know.
Can I ask the panel some questions?
I want to give you some names.
You tell me the likelihood that they're guilty or not.
Can you just do this?
I'll be on my opinion.
Okay.
OJ.
Guilty.
100%.
100.
So OJ killed two people straight up and he's walking around looking for the killer still.
He tried to release a book that said, I didn't do it, but if I did, this is how it's only because I loved her very much.
You're 100% OJ?
OJ.
OJ.
So Cosby.
100% guilty.
He's drugging girls.
Not one question, right?
We're not even going to question.
He was still guilty.
Okay.
Harvey Weinstein.
Guilty.
Guilty on two countries.
He did all this, right?
Mrs. Weinstein needs to be standing in prison.
I'm kind of on the, I don't know.
50-50.
I don't know.
But back to Cosby.
We're all in agreeance that OJ, Cosby, and Weinstein are guilty AF.
All right.
I'm just putting that out there that we're acknowledging the fact that they are guilty.
100%.
Meanwhile, OJ's still out there killing it.
But I'm pumped.
So we'll see what this guy Cosby has going on.
But I think Tom nailed it.
What revenue?
I'm sorry.
What location, sponsor, ticket master, any of those conglomerates they're going to promote?
I don't get any of it.
There's a big difference between those three and Tate.
Those three were found guilty.
Convicted.
Tate's still going through, so you can't even put him in that category.
Maybe you could put Michael Jackson in that category.
Maybe you can put Kevin Spacey in that category.
You can't put some people that are going through it right now.
I don't put Tate in that category.
And I also look at it.
I don't trust in Romanian courts.
But going through this, going through this with Bill Cosby, I don't know.
I'm more talking about you're literally not going to win people over with this.
You're not.
Your legacy, you know, Dana White, you know, the video came out, TMZ, and his wife hits him and then he slaps her back.
And then the next day, he's on TMZ.
He says, for 15 years or for 20 years, I've been telling fighters, never lay your hands on a girl, never lay hands on, da-da-da.
And here I'm the idiot sitting here having to explain myself with TMZ.
He's in a press conference and they're asking him.
I don't know if you can find the words.
I don't know if we can play the video.
We can't play the video, but his words, he says, what do you want me to do?
Okay, let's talk about it.
Rob, if you want to turn off your mic, what do you want to do?
You want me to take time off to think about this of my decision?
I already know it was a bad decision.
What do you want me to do?
You want me to take a moment and reflect?
Reflect for what?
You want me to take time off this?
He says, what about if in 2016, what he's trying to say is when the company sold, I could have taken the time off.
I don't need to do this anymore.
I could have been done.
Okay.
What should the repercussions be?
I take 30 days off.
How does that hurt me?
I told you guys as we were going through COVID-19 pandemic, COVID could last 10 years and I could sit it out.
It's much like COVID.
Actually, me leaving hurts the company, hurts my employees, hurts the fighters, doesn't hurt me.
I could have left in 2016 when the company was acquired by Endeavor.
Do I need to reflect?
I've been against this.
I've owned this.
I'm telling you that I'm wrong.
Here's my punishment.
I have to walk around for however long I live.
This is the point I wanted to make.
What he said here.
Here's my punishment.
I have to walk around for however long I live.
And this is how I'm labeled now.
My other punishment is that I'm sure a lot of people, whether it be in the media, fighters, friends, acquaintances who had respect for me, might not have that respect for me now.
There's a lot of things I have to deal with for the rest of my life.
That's way more punishment than what I take a 30 or 60 day absence of.
What he just said, by the way, when he's talking, if you've not seen this clip, you can tell he's getting choked up.
But he's not going to show his emotions because you can tell he knows he messed up, right?
But the angle he took is, listen, this is for me forever.
How long do you think this is going to stay with Dana?
Forever.
Forever.
How long do you think it's going to stay with Cosby?
Forever.
Cosby.
Do you think he can do anything that he'll be forgiven for?
No.
This is permanent, okay?
If I were to ask you right now, watch this.
I'm going to give you names.
Tell me what's going to be with them till their deathbed.
You ready?
Clinton.
Look what's the first cigar.
Look what you said.
That's it.
All right.
We can give me.
If you say him, boom.
If you can go to Marlon Brando.
Marlon Brando shit.
I have a godfather.
No, no, he just, he was a prick on set.
James Dean.
It's a whole different story, right?
That's a completely different story.
Now, if you don't know this story, go look up the story between James Dean and Marlon Brando.
If I give you Kevin Spacey, if I give you Mike, if I give you any president, I give you Bush, second one.
What are you going to think?
Second one.
9-11.
If I give you John F. Kennedy, what's the first time that comes to me?
Fascination.
What else has it comes to mind?
Keep in mind.
What else comes to mind?
Vietnam.
Merrill Monroe.
What else comes to mind?
There are certain things that we as human beings are going to do that's permanent and there's nothing you can do about it.
And trying to convince everybody how great of a human being you are, it's not helping.
And it really sucks.
Just the way you live.
You screwed up.
And you got to live with it.
It just sucks.
You could be the greatest anything, whatever.
Takes one little, like, like that joke.
I think I told you guys that joke.
The thousand bridges.
The Soda's guy.
He's in the bar.
He's like one goat.
Yeah, that's the joke.
He's like, he's in the bar.
And the guy's like, why the long face?
He's like, you see that?
Let him tell the joke.
Why are you taking the joke?
I've never seen the joke 12 times on the podcast.
I never said the joke.
It's over.
But anyway, my point being...
You're talking about a goat fucker?
I'm saying, no, what I'm saying is you could do anything in this life.
Like Bill Clinton, great, really, really good president, right?
What are you doing to him what Tom is doing to you?
I can't work under these conditions, man.
I'm not even recognizing that.
But basically, here's the point.
It takes one, you could do whatever.
It takes one goat.
One goat or one cigar or one thing about it.
And then that's your legacy.
But I do like, I respect manning up right off the bat and not letting the system say Dana's a leader.
Dana's a G, bro.
That's why Dana's a leader.
Dana mans up, handles it, and then says, what do you want me to do?
Take 30 days off?
Take 60 days off?
Take what?
What do you want me to do here, right?
Versus, you know, you hear certain people like, well, let me tell you, I'm this, and let me tell you, it's the Matrix.
Let me tell you, it's this.
No, man, just like, what position do you want to take?
This is sounding like no victim on the way this guy handled it.
Dana, the way he's handling this sounds like a IF'd up, I'm not a victim.
Don't feel bad for me.
My life's going to suck because of this decision that I made.
My kids are always in arguments because, well, you did this, dad.
How can you tell him you're being a hypocrite?
He knows this.
This is permanent.
FYI, what this does is this isn't about, you know, you know how they say success, there's levels to success.
So let's talk about levels to success.
What are levels to success?
Okay.
Levels of success is you were a high school freaking superstar.
Shit.
You got records in your high school.
Damn it.
When you go back, it's like, Al Bundy, you know my record.
Touchdowns, poke high.
Man, you guys should go back and look at my records in high school when I play basketball.
The only stats you'll see with records with me is elbows.
The other day, my coach called me from, he called me.
We're having a conversation together with this guy from New Century City Basketball Association when I was playing at Equipark.
He says, do you remember when we lost by 100 points?
I said, do I remember?
My dad's kept a trophy since 14 years old.
Of course, I remember.
It's the only sports trophy I got.
I wasn't an athlete like the two of you guys.
By the way, just so you know, these two guys were superstars.
You go out with Vinny.
Vinny throws the ball and the ball just keeps it.
Makes it look like it's nothing.
Adam throws the ball.
It's like he woke up.
No problem, right?
But no, you know, there's levels to sports.
There's the sharpest elbows in all of that.
There's levels to fighters.
One guy, hey, do you see that guy was a great fighter?
He punched one guy in the face.
He fell for the rest of his life.
He's a great fighter.
It's one punch, okay?
That guy's a great gambler.
That guy's this.
There's levels to success and there's levels to F-ups.
There's levels to F-ups.
Meaning, Cosby's F-up is a level on its own.
Michael Jackson's F-up is pretty up there.
OJ's is OJ.
It's up there.
Kevin Spacey is up there.
Dana White is a bad F-up.
It ain't up there at the level of these guys.
No.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
So, so there's levels to F up, to F up.
You want to do whatever you can to have the massive F-ups in life.
Those are the ones you want to avoid as much as possible because they are permanent.
And no matter what you do, as much as we love redemption, we do love redemption.
This is America.
We're all about redemption.
Certain F-ups, it's an asterisk that's right next to you.
You want to go into baseball hall of fame?
You deserve to go.
Like, I believe Bonds belongs in a baseball hall of fame.
You can put pre-steroids, post-steroids.
Just you can say size of hat, seven and a quarter.
Size of hat, eight and a quarter.
I mean, that's all you got to put.
You know what I'm saying?
So, but, anyways, props to Dana on the way he handled it.
That was a great major PR firm that you're going through targeted by a media trying to defame you, which is going to happen as you get big.
They did it to Rogan.
They do it to everybody.
Rather than paying a half a million dollars to a PR firm in New York, just call Dana White.
Yeah.
How should I handle this?
Yeah, be rough.
Or watch this handling of Dana White.
It's a clinic he did.
I'll add one thing.
Number one, he's giving a masterclass on accountability and leadership.
You could be accountable and be a leader even when you fuck up.
I think that's when you have to be held accountable.
But you bring up a very good point.
There's levels to effing up.
A few weeks ago, a month ago, we had our friend the Liver King here.
He's like, I'm like, relax, guy.
You don't need to like you did steroids.
Yeah.
You didn't OJ and kill somebody to people.
You weren't raping and pillaging.
I mean, I don't know what you do in your spare time, Liver King.
I mean, you got that look.
But all we know is that you have done steroids.
So, like, put it in a little context.
He's like, thanks, bro.
I appreciate it.
But he did lie to a lot of people.
But Cosby and OJ, that's a different level.
Like, you're right versus Tate or Liver King or whoever.
That's different levels.
All right.
So let's continue to the next story.
What we got here?
So do we want to go to, why don't we do the Biden documents?
Let's go on that.
Okay.
How the discovery of classified files in Biden's office compares with Trump's case.
Now, you know, the story, to be fair, is a, what do you call it, story?
New York Times.
So you know what New York Times is going to be doing.
New York Times is only going to see it from one side.
It was reported that classified documents were found in a private office Joe Biden had used before beginning 2020 campaign, which prompted comparisons to former President Donald Trump hoarding of sensitive documents, which is the subject of criminal investigation.
Both incidents involved office official files, bearing classification, making the improperly accompanied Trump and Biden after they left office.
However, there are significant inferences in how the documents came to light.
Their volume and how Trump and Biden responded.
Trump and his aides resisted the government's repeated efforts to retrieve them all while Biden's lawyers reported a problem and the White House says it has fully cooperated.
Trump appeared to have destroyed official documents, appeared to have destroyed.
There has been no allegation that Biden destroyed public records.
So my question for you, New York Times, is, who's raiding Biden's house when?
When are we doing that?
What's that on the schedule?
When are people going to go through all of his first lady's files or closet, everything?
When is that scheduled?
And is the treatment going to be the same for that to happen?
Because the reaction, the reaction, in a minute here, I want to actually play the clip with Peter Doocy asking, every time I can't pronounce this.
Jean-Jean-Pierre.
What's her name?
Who's the White House president?
Kareem Jean-Pierre.
Karen Jean-Pierre.
Okay, Karine Jean-Pierre.
In a minute, I just want you to see what he asks, and then he brings up the border at the end, okay?
Before we watch it, do me a favor and go put it on 1.5 speed.
Go to the right there and go to 1.5 speed.
It's a five-minute clip.
We'll watch it in three minutes.
But what are your thoughts before we get to this clip here with Peter Doocy and Karine Jean-Pierre?
A couple of things, Pat.
First, and I asked you this before we walked in there.
Are there any Republicans that work for the DOJ?
Do you honestly think?
Are there any Republicans that work for the FBI or any of these people?
Because I'm just curious because, Adam, and I'm going back.
I'm going old school.
Go back to Hillary Clinton with Benghazi, okay?
Go to Hillary Clinton with the emails from Loretta Lynch, who was the attorney general, to James Comey.
They live in front of our faces change instead of what was it called?
Instead of gross negligence, which is you go to jail, it was extreme carelessness.
The Democrats take care of each other, bro.
I'm telling you right now.
And from what I see it, there's no Republicans inside the DOJ because these people get away with literally murder.
They could do whatever the hell they want.
And it's like, bro, it goes back to my point where Fox has all these eyes.
Fox is number one and everything.
Fox has all the viewership.
And we have all this attention, but nothing gets done.
Are the Democrats, is the left that in charge, Pat?
And I'm going to be honest with you, nothing is going to come out about this.
Nothing is going to come out about Fauci.
Fauci's not going to go to jail.
These people are protected.
And all it is is, hey, look, we caught you.
And then we just move on.
That's it.
That's all that happens.
Yeah, you know, I kind of agree with you.
And when I read the New York Times article, I just want to look around.
So I don't react, React, React.
I start looking around.
I'm like, in a private office in a locked closet.
Well, where was the private office?
And I go looking around.
I found it's the Penn Biden Center.
This is not a government office that had badge readers and stuff like that.
This is very similar to what Trump had, a private office at Mar-a-Lago.
It's a locked closet at the Penn Biden Center.
And by the way, there's a second stack of documents that have been found in his second location so that Biden had them in multiple locations.
So I think that there's a lack of intellectual honesty about, hey, this is another president that had documents off-site, not in a secure government location.
And it was merely locked in a closet because it was a locked closet at Mar-a-Lago, too, by the way.
So I'm kind of with you, Vinny.
You know, you start to read this, read between the lines, and it's like, okay, there's a pass.
Okay, there's another pass.
Okay, there's a pass.
Because they just can't wait to get to the end of the article and say, see, nothing to see here.
Yeah, exactly.
And I read this yesterday that a large, that pen, pen, that center received $54 million, that think tank from China.
So it's kind of weird.
You know what I mean?
And like you said, there's no security.
They're just hanging out there.
You know what I mean?
They're just there.
No, if you're going to nail Trump for a locked closet at Mar-a-Lago, then you've got to— You mean the think tank at $54 million?
The think tank— That place got $54 million.
You have to nail them.
Yeah, Trump, what do you mean?
They were taking dinner napkins that he had from dinner.
First of all, just so put the stats in place on what he's talking about, the think tank Biden's think tank in 2018 received $15.8 million from anonymous Chinese gifts.
Weird.
And then three months later, May of 2018, $14.5 million donation, anonymous donation from China to UPenn.
So this is stuff that should be, and Hunter got a $1 million gift from an anonymous donor.
He sold an art piece and he got paid.
So listen, it's time to, if you guys want to investigate somebody, do you know what's the craziest thing?
Let me tell you what the craziest thing is.
Do you know how sometimes you have a guy that used to work with me, and he would come in and he would say, you guys are doing this and he's doing this and that person's doing this.
And I'm like, damn.
So at first, I'm a newer sales leader.
He's accusing.
So imagine you're accusing him of doing something.
And then you accuse Rob of doing something.
And you're accusing him of doing something.
I'm like, oh, shit, man, this guy's.
Three years later, you know what it was?
Everything you accuse others of doing, you were doing.
The Democrats, the strategy they're using, if you notice a trend, what they do, Republicans don't necessarily do this.
Democrats will say, Trump's got Russia.
He's colluding with Russia.
No, it was Hillary.
Oh, you know what?
This is a travesty for you to have files.
No president, no personnel.
It was really Biden.
Oh, you know, when it comes down to taxes, these guys don't want to give back and they don't want to pay taxes.
You pull up their charity.
They barely give any money to charity, to anybody.
Democrats are the worst at giving money to charity.
Oh, these guys don't want to care about people.
You care about people.
So it's almost as if it's only like the kid that points out the other kid in your family.
Like you got kids.
One kid is pointing out another kid what he doesn't do.
It's the kid that doesn't do it.
So it's a very interesting thing that they keep getting caught.
I just want you to watch this here.
Let's play this.
We're playing it on 1.5 and watch the questions Peter Doocy asks and watch her reaction.
And in the comments section, in the chat section, you write down the questions he's asking fair and her reaction to it.
Go ahead, Rob.
Yes.
Why?
Because Secretary Buttijaj is a, he respects the Secretary and the work that he has been doing.
You have seen the Secretary on TV.
You've probably spoken to him.
You've seen him on TV.
That's worked.
Andres is a good one.
That's why they've held the airlines accountable.
You've seen the Secretary do that over and over again.
And we understand.
We understand what Americans have been going through these past couple of months.
That's why the Secretary has been very clear on making sure that they are held accountable, has put in processes in place to make sure that that occurs.
And yes, the President has confidence in Secretary Budijaj.
And then on these documents, how could anyone be that irresponsible?
Isn't that what the President says about missing link classified documents?
The president spoke to this personally.
He spoke to this personally.
Again, he believes that classified documents and information should be taken seriously.
He takes them seriously.
And he was surprised to learn by any records.
I disagree.
I disagree.
Here's what happened.
Here's what happened once they hit it.
Well, let me explain to you the process.
Here's what happened when his lawyers found out that the documents were there.
They immediately turned them over to the archives.
Right.
But they immediately turned them over to the archives.
I'm not going to go into specifics, but what I am reiterating to you is what you heard from the president yourself, Peter, which is hypocrisy at its best.
And how he respects and truly takes this very seriously and when he knew and how surprised he was by it and the actions that the right actions that the lawyers took.
Again, this is under investigation.
This is under review by the Department of Justice, and we're going to let that process continue.
How can President Biden be trusted moving forward with America's secrets?
Because his lawyers, his team did the right thing.
He had a closet with classifying.
Again, again, two closets, did you think that he was surprised that the records were there?
He spoke to this.
Personally, he was surprised that the records were there.
And when his lawyers found out and his team found out that they were there, they turned it over to the archives.
And now it's being reviewed by the Department of Justice.
And just one more.
Why didn't President Biden want to see what's really going on at the border?
He did see exactly what's going on at the border.
He didn't talk to any migrants.
And he didn't go anywhere to people actually crossed illegal.
He can stop it here.
Yeah.
Positive.
So you see that.
What are your thoughts, Adam, on her reaction?
Well, obviously, her job is to defend the president.
I mean, whether it's Huckabee Sanders or Caitlin McEnany or Sean Spicer, like your job is to represent the president.
I just think I'm at a point where I don't think either side has a monopoly on being righteous.
And I don't think either side has a monopoly on lying, cheating, and stealing.
So what do I actually think?
I think Trump did some shady shit.
And I think Biden did some shady shit.
And I think both sides are going to call each other out.
Don't do that right now.
No, no, don't do that.
Adam, I just did.
Great.
You can't move in for we won't ask you for your counsel on that.
That's what I'm saying.
No, no, but listen to me.
Isolate the concern.
Isolate it.
Don't give a bullshit answer like that.
Why is that bullshit?
I think they're both.
That's a copping out answer.
I don't think so at all.
Isolate the concern.
In this case, where a person judges the other person, which Biden judged Trump.
Trump never judged Biden on this area.
Biden's judging Trump on what he did.
Then he does it.
What do you think about this isolated insight?
I'll give you a specific answer.
With the way Biden handled it.
I'll give you a specific answer.
And don't give a cop-out answer.
Everybody does it.
That's a cop-out answer.
Give us a really in-depth analysis of what you think about it.
I'm not going to give an answer that you want to hear from the people.
It's not about the fact that it's not about my opinion.
But it's not about what we or the audience.
Listen, no, no, no.
Hang on one second.
It's 2023.
We have to improve.
You have to improve.
Hear me out.
No, no, listen.
This conversation we had the other day together.
Don't give a cop-out answer.
Give a real answer.
If somebody like, if you ask me, like right now, okay, if you ask me with Trump, I won't sit there and give an answer about, well, you know, this, this, I'm going to say that's a screw-up of what just happened here.
You're hearing this guy, they go raid his house, they go into the wife's closet, public, FBI, Garland, everything.
So that's even.
Then you hear something like this and you say, they both lied.
That's my answer.
You think, by the way, if the show is for the audience, you think the audience won with that answer?
Okay.
I'm asking you a real question here.
You think the audience wins with that kind of an answer?
Yes, because I'll tell you why.
Can I go ahead?
All right.
Number one, I'm saying that Biden fucked up and he is, this is hypocrisy.
You did not say that, though.
I'm going to.
I said that he's guilty of hypocrisy and that no party has a monopoly on righteousness and lying, cheating, and stealing.
We just had a conversation with Neil deGrasse Tyson, who in his entire book broke down the fact that both motherfuckers lie and that the Republicans are the party of family values and Republicans preach family values.
Well, if you actually look at the numbers, it turns out that the people who stayed married the most, the longest, and get the least divorced are the people in Massachusetts and the liberals.
Well, I'm not isolating concern because there's a part of a macro perspective is that Biden lied and he's cheating and stealing and Hunter Biden's guilty.
That doesn't mean the fact that Trump didn't lie, cheat, and steal.
I think they're all scumbags.
Sure, I copy.
But I don't think that they're both scumbags.
I don't think that's true.
So you're saying that Biden's guilty, but Trump's not?
No, I think, I think the part about this specific thing of hypocrisy, of hypocrisy, if you're going to bring that up and to say, you know, it's both sides.
No, both sides don't make fake narratives about Russia for three years and talk about them, people like you believe it.
Both sides don't create fake narratives about what's going on with, you know, files and they go to his place and embarrass the shit out of the guy.
And that's never happened in the history of America to president.
Both sides don't do it.
Only one side does that.
If you're asking me, like Trump was treated unfairly, I'll say yes.
It's not like Trump didn't shoot himself.
Nobody, if we haven't, the next topic we're going to is Trump CFO.
What are you talking to?
It's the next topic I'm about to go into.
My point, exactly.
Because he did shady shit also.
No, it's called isolate the issue.
If I'm having a conversation with a person and the conversation is around an issue, that's this issue.
Don't give me another butt, but yes, we all agree, but but.
In this area, if you look, okay, what is the criticism I give Republicans?
What is the criticism I give Republicans?
What is it?
Okay, what is the criticism I give to Christians?
Why was I an atheist for 25 years?
Why am I very careful and uncomfortable about talking about the fact I go to church on Sundays?
Why am I very uncomfortable with trying to like, I don't even want to almost advertise that part.
Like I'm a Christian.
Why don't I do that?
Do you know why I don't do that?
Because too many people from the other side use that as a way to be almighty and judge the other people to be perfect and behind closed doors.
They're doing some shit.
Self-righteousness.
But that is an isolated concern to that area.
That is the criticism they deserve.
In this one here, on this isolated issue, this is hypocrisy.
This right here, when you're sitting there just a few months ago, you're acting wholly and knowing, do you know how many presidents and VPs have had declassified paperwork at their house?
Do you know how many of them have had it?
Tell me.
Every one of them.
All of them.
But no, it's not okay.
It's the okay where when Trump had it for people to say, yeah, that's, we all have it.
No, no.
They turned it into the end of the freaking world.
And then when this guy has it, what does Joey Behar say?
Joey Behar says, well, listen, this is really what it comes down to.
I trust Biden and I don't trust him.
Yeah, great answer.
No, I'm sorry.
No trust lies and we know By should that's what you said.
And that's what I want to hear from you on this topic.
If it's a topic about Trump, one time Donald Trump Jr. is out there and they give this speech with him and Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Do you remember that one time they gave the topic and we're like, what the hell were they on?
Do you remember that one time?
Kimberly Guilfoyle gave a speech clearly on cocaine.
Okay.
But the point is this.
We don't hold back from having opinions on issues.
This right here is purely hypocrisy.
I agree with you.
This right here is hypocrisy in this sense, and they're not being held accountable to it.
He's getting away with murder.
What Hunter's done, none of Trump's kids have anything but the way the market sells it, but Trump's kids are bad and Biden's kids are good.
They'll do a softball interview with a guy like Hunter.
Well, listen, life's been hard, hasn't it?
Yeah.
And you're trying to change.
What's wrong with that?
Jimmy Kimmel does an interview like that.
And next thing you know, the interview with the other guy.
So on this part here, Adam, this is not, they're both liars.
Both sides of politics lie.
That part of the question is out the window.
This is which one uses the level of manipulation the way that they do?
Nobody uses manipulation like the left.
Nobody.
The right acts righteous, annoying.
The left manipulates.
They divide.
That is their level of expertise.
This is the whole concept with this part here.
You sit there and you act like you're people on your side.
Well, I trust those guys, but the other guy, God forbid.
Like right now, have you seen what's going on with Stephen A. Smith right now?
Have you seen how much hate he's getting?
Stephen A. Smith?
I saw a little bit before we walked in here.
Stephen A. Smith is getting hate just because he's running a podcast and he's having Sean Hannity on or is having all these other people on.
It's like, how could you have somebody like that on there?
Bro, I want to talk to these guys.
Yeah.
Just like you are.
I want to talk to these guys.
Iranian people calling me, why are you having Reza Oslano?
Do you know he's not yet?
Do you know he's this?
I don't care.
I enjoyed.
I want to have these people on.
But as we're going and we're talking topics, I want us to give isolated issues with this rather than just a lazy comment of saying, everybody's doing it.
We don't benefit from that.
We actually want to know how you think about it.
Yeah, well, number one, just to be clear, I started off the entire conversation with saying this is hypocrisy.
But I also am able to walk and chew gum at the same time and say, hey, you know what?
This specific incident seems shady as hell and should be investigated.
But from a macro perspective, I think they're all freaking shady.
And I think they're all two-faced.
And I think that they're all up to no good.
So I think it's a level of media and media scrutiny.
So on one hand, it's like, well, you know, if you're complaining about what the left's doing, then fucking do it also, Republicans.
Okay.
Like, don't just let, oh, they have a strategy that's working.
Well, why don't you use it?
Oh, there's too many professors in school that are liberals.
Well, why don't you go get some freaking jobs, Republicans?
Oh, there's the media has a monopoly on what they're saying.
Well, start a fucking media company.
So what I'm saying is, like, there's isolated incidents and there's macro perspectives.
I happen to think that Trump did some shady ass shit and he should be held accountable.
I also think that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have done some shady ass shit and they should be held accountable.
And my entire point here is stop mudslinging and food fighting at the other team and hold everybody accountable.
And that's where I stand on this.
Yeah, unfortunately, Adam, the problem with what you're saying, no one can sit here and tell us we only bring one-sided guests.
No one can say that.
Correct.
Okay.
All right.
So no one's going to sit here and say we only bring people we agree with or we only do this or even us at the panel here that we have that we all 100% agree with.
No one's going to say that about us.
We'll sit there.
We'll have the conversation and we'll still go have lunch today and not have a problem.
We're isolating this concern to show how one side is being treated versus another side.
You know when you have, when you're going to have kids here soon, when you have multiple kids, you know what's the most annoying thing that kids get frustrated with parents?
When you favor one more than the other, I'm assuming.
When it's double standards.
This morning, this morning, we have a new rule now.
The kids have to be out of the house by a certain time or else the kid that caused being late owes a buck to the other two.
Okay.
One of our kids today was late by one minute.
He owes the other two a buck.
You know what's going to happen?
He's going to come, but that's not fair and da-da-da-da-da.
But he's going to say, let me tell you, I'm fair with all of you guys.
When that person's late, when this person's late, you got to do the same exact standards.
Here's what you got.
They're not doing that.
The way they being the DOJ is the reason why you asked the question saying, what are the Republicans on the DOJ?
Like, you really think the DOJ is going to investigate and get to the bottom of it?
No way.
We just found that FBI, the government's been spying on us.
Like, oh, we're going to investigate this.
So let me get this straight.
It's like saying, Adam, I think your taxes have been a little bit off.
Adam says, you know what?
Let me go audit myself.
Yeah.
I'm going to go audit myself.
What's the reason, though?
What's a fool?
I literally don't know the answer, but Vinny brought up the question, how many Republicans in the DOJ?
Well, is it because there are a Democrat president?
It's because the FBI and the DOJ is in bed together?
Yeah.
But how does that happen?
That's what I'm saying.
So check this out.
Don't just recruit Democrats.
Here's the question.
I dare you to go on CNN and MSNBC and actually look how many times they've covered the Twitter files.
You know what the answer is?
I have no doubt that it's not that much.
But do you realize how important that is that the government is telling Twitter to silence certain influencers and certain stories, not to post something?
And channels were taken down who rely, people who rely on the source of income just because they had a different position than the government.
Somebody from the White House called and said, shut that person's account down.
Clean that person's place up.
That's not both sides.
That's one side that's doing this.
That's the part that it's isolating this issue.
That is the part.
We can isolate the issue of people on the right and church and how righteous and all that's.
We can isolate the issue with Catholics, church.
We can isolate the issue with every single thing that we do.
In this area, when it comes down to people being held accountable, historically, the left is rarely held accountable when it comes down to institutions such as DOJ, FBI, and others historically.
And recently, they're in recent, not historic.
I would say recently.
So I corrected myself and I used to recently.
Just from the video that Rob played from just the White House briefing, do you have you realized the difference of, remember the White House briefings during Trump, let's say, with Sarah Huckabee, from all of them?
It was a shit show.
People were yelling.
Everybody, dude, you couldn't even speak in there.
Do you see how right now it's just one guy?
It's Peter Doocy.
He asked his, he's not even, he's not aggressive like Jim Macosta.
No, sir, sir, Mr. President.
It was a shit show.
Now it's like everybody's behaved because they're all on the same team.
They're quiet.
You realize there's only one guy in that whole goddamn room asking tough questions.
And they laugh about it.
She tells them the bullshit story and they move on.
It's like, look at the.
But this goes back to the initial point that I made in the first part of the podcast with why Greg Guttfeld is winning the late night TV awards because who's getting into journalism?
Who's going into journalism school?
Who's becoming writers?
Who are the professors?
So you're complaining about the effect.
What's the cause?
What's the symptom of this?
Is that more liberal leaning people are getting into news, media, entertainment, writing, performance?
So what do you think is going to be biased?
We talk about liberal media bias.
So all you conservatives out there encourage your kids to become better writers and get into the liberal arts and go into media.
Or just same old, same old status quo.
So what I'm saying is like, yes, you are right.
Yes, you are correct.
Yes, there is liberal media bias.
Yes, they don't cover a lot of stories.
What are you going to do about it?
Because you already know the answer.
You just complain about it.
That's one part of it.
That's all we do.
Are you going to raise your kids and tell your kids to go to college?
And so that's what I'm saying.
It's like, I agree, but there's a bigger perspective out there.
That's all I'm saying.
So bad, I just want to ask you really, really quick.
So somebody that's me, that's frustrating because I never knew what left or right was till 9-11 when I was in the military.
And then I started seeing everything, bro, from the lies to the truth.
So I'm where I'm at right now.
Is one side so in control?
Because we're seeing it right now that with all the stuff that the left gets away with, the right, they hold them to the fire, but are we just screwed in the fact that like all this stuff could come out from the Twitter thing to Biden to all the class and nothing's going to happen?
Nothing's going to happen to them.
I don't think from foul teachers.
None of them?
No, no, I don't think that's the case.
I just think it's not going to happen right away.
I do think it's going to eventually happen.
I do think eventually, you know, the way the house flips when one side abuses power when they have it.
Here's the problem.
When you're so powerful, you use your powers to bully.
All you're doing is developing a delayed time bomb of the other side getting also more powerful.
So they're going to retaliate and bully you.
There's a reason why when somebody has all the power in the world and they don't bully, they gain respect to say, hey, this Marcus Aurelius guy meditations.
You had all the power in the world, but the people loved you for the seven years you were there from 62 AD to 69 AD.
People loved you because the way he was with his people.
And he had a slave sitting behind him telling him, hey, just so you know, you're a nobody.
You're a regular guy.
You're not that special.
A guy whispered that to his ears.
You're mortal.
Yeah, you're mortal.
You're going to die.
This is like that.
He needed that as a reminder.
This is going to keep going back and forth, and it's not going to be pretty on the other side when they come and get him.
At the same time, it is true that people are sitting there like right now on Twitter.
Another student yesterday unfortunately had a heart attack and died.
21 years old.
Yeah, 21 years old.
This keeps happening, right?
And guess who cares about that kid's life the most and who's going to investigate the cause of it the most?
His parents.
His parents.
Okay.
And do you think parents are ever going to forget that?
No.
No.
Ever.
Ever.
Parents are going to sit there.
and do as much due diligence as possible.
Just like Robert De Niro, who cannot stand Donald Trump, can't even control himself.
Hates him.
But ask about his 23-year-old son.
Go ahead and ask how he feels about certain ways things are handled.
Go ask about his 23-year-old autistic son and see how strong opinions he's got.
When it becomes personal to your life, politics don't matter anymore.
Things change.
And more and more people are starting to ask these questions.
Say, why can't we hear the opposing side?
There's a video that went viral yesterday, commercial that was made.
I posted on Twitter.
I don't want to share it because we're on YouTube platform right now.
It's called the Kaufman Institute of Coincidence.
Do you see this video or no?
Have you guys seen this or no?
The Kauffman Institute.
Have you seen this commercial, Kaufman Institute of Coincidence?
Yeah, people are starting to ask, why is this happening and why is it not being investigated?
So Jon Stewart, he ain't no Republican.
He's a guy that's going to say, how come we're not investigating where the virus leaked from?
And the answer is what nowadays?
Who cares?
What's done is done.
It's over.
It's over.
What's done is done.
Yeah, okay.
What do you mean, what's done is done?
Yeah, what's done is done.
Hey, studies are coming out saying the people that got, you know, are the ones most susceptible to continuing the next variant of it.
Well, you know, it's listen.
Stop being paranoid.
Stop being paranoid.
Those people who have been pushed like that, you know, Joe and I were talking last night, two nights ago.
He sends me four articles to read about what's going on with after our podcast with Neil deGrasse Tyson.
And we're talking and he did a great podcast with him.
He's on multiple podcasts with him.
And he said, you may want to go listen to Rogan.
Yeah.
And Rogan did a podcast with Brett Weinstein.
Okay.
I'm going to give you the time.
I want you to listen after this podcast.
I want you to go download Joe's podcast.
I'll tell you which time to go to.
It's three and a half hours, but wait till the end for me to give you the time to listen to it.
And we'll put it in the comment section in the chat.
Put it at the top.
Comment it above at the top.
So people, if they want to go listen, maybe we'll put it in the description so people can see it.
I'll give you the exact time.
Him and Brett are having a conversation.
And this is why people love Joe Rogan.
This is why everybody in the world has to watch this clip.
It's nine minutes.
And he says, well, we have to hold these people accountable and da-da-da-da.
And Joe says, no, no, no, I disagree.
I disagree.
Let me tell you why.
He says, look, I've been wrong many times.
There are a lot of people that disagreed with me.
Some that took it and now they regret it.
I almost took it.
When I first did the first podcast with Michael this, I almost took it.
I almost thought about it.
And then I did research and I felt bad.
And I did.
We are constantly going to be judging people for mistakes that they made.
We're not going to make progress.
We have to forgive them.
We have to be charitable.
I mean, he sounded like a pastor.
And he's like the furthest guy from wanting to be a pastor.
That message was so flipping powerful because he says, that's the mindset.
Like yesterday, this guy named Dr. Shiva.
Can you pull up the, go to Twitter?
He tweets something and says something about Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Just go just go to my Twitter account.
Go to my Twitter account.
I retweeted his tweet.
If you go to my Twitter account, go to my Twitter account.
You go to my Twitter account.
He tweets something and he trolls, what's his name?
He trolls Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Okay, go down.
Hopefully these tweets will show up.
Go lower, go lower.
If you can't go lower, I hope it's not disappeared.
Keep going.
Song pass.
Oh, my God.
You have to hear this song.
Keep going lower, lower.
I hope it doesn't do what it does.
It's right there.
Okay, right there, right there at the bottom, at the bottom, at the bottom.
So click on that one.
Perfect.
Perfect.
So zoom in into Dr. Shiva's tweet, Dr. Shiva's tweet, okay?
So he says, Neil deGrasse Tyson, your claim everyone must be vaccinated for the collective good is ignorant.
As an MIT PhD in systems biology, let me educate you on the immune system so your head may emerge out of uranium.
Oh, wow.
I'm sure Patrick Bay David will host.
Okay?
Dr. Shiva.
Now, by the way, to give him credit, this guy is potentially recognized for inventing email.
Yeah, he's his favorite email.
Yeah, he's not like a regular guy.
Email?
No, no.
This guy is a heavyweight.
So here's my response to him.
Here's what I said to him.
I said, your approach is part of the problem.
Both sides tend to come across arrogant, pompous, and not willing to budge, which doesn't create a climate to have a healthy scientific debate.
Both sides can be wrong and right at the same time, and that's okay, which is where people win.
Okay.
So what's the point here?
You're inviting a guy to want to debate you, but you're doing it in a way the guy's not going to debate you.
I wouldn't want you to.
So the challenge here is in this argument, yes, the left may have had vaccine wrong.
Yeah.
And everybody needs to sit there and say, hey, guys, listen, if you're Catholic, we got some things wrong.
If you're this, we got something wrong.
Can we all improve?
Can we synergize and come together?
Or what is it that we're going to be doing?
But we have to isolate concerns and issues and address them head on.
This area, you guys screwed up.
That area, we spent too much money in military.
This area, Iraq was a waste.
That area, the way we left Afghanistan was a mistake.
That area, Ukraine, you were using it to make money.
This area, North Korea this.
That area, terrifying China was the right move.
That area, Iran, why are we giving these guys their money back?
We have to isolate each concern and realize that on both sides, if we isolate them, we will notice and nobody makes 100% of the decisions the right way.
The one area that the left has a monopoly on is manipulation.
It's the one area.
Monopoly on manipulation.
I love it.
If it comes down to right now, there it goes.
So, Pat, you said this.
I love that.
And that's awesome.
My question is, so you said this year was going to be the year of investigations.
Do you think it's going to turn into convictions?
That's my question.
Here's what I want.
My ideal situation is to let's just find out what happened.
And I want to find out what happened and move on.
Let's just move on.
I mean, it's over with already anyways.
Let's find out what happened and then move on.
Tate.
Okay.
Let's talk about Tate.
I don't think we need to say anything for people to realize we like what he says and how he challenges the people of power and he goes and targets them and all that stuff.
He's a very, very, very good communicator.
By the way, potentially the best communicator in the world today.
He could potentially be the best communicator in the world today.
And I don't know if I put anybody ahead of him.
Wow.
Who do you put ahead of him?
He's a communicator.
He's a talk.
He's an incredible communicator the way he delivers his message, right?
Okay.
All right.
So he's trying to get out of a, you know, he's still in detention, trying to end detention of Romania.
They're not giving him the opportunity to come out.
Who knows what's going to end up happening with this year?
We're in talks with his lawyer.
I'd like to talk to his lawyer to have him on and to have a kind of fair conversation with him.
Just some questions that I want to ask this guy.
We'll see what happened there.
All right.
So you look at Tate with this scenario.
Some things came back with Vice, a recording of a guy that he once interviewed with that started asking him all these questions.
And then Tate's like, man, where are you going with this?
They stopped the interview.
That guy follows up and finds the girls, gets recording.
Now, Vice is coming out with something today.
No one knows what's going to be said.
But some of the WhatsApp recordings came back and, you know, certain statements that he made, et cetera, et cetera.
And everyone's texting me saying, you support this guy, you support that, you support this, you support that.
I'm able to isolate areas that Tate crushes the globalists and crushes the people of power that love to bully.
And I'm able to isolate that and say, man, what a freaking way of doing it.
Good for you, guy.
Keep challenging the status quo and keep pushing these guys.
But I'm able to isolate and say, what are you doing?
Sending audio recordings on WhatsApp.
Do you think you're untouchable?
None of us are.
And then I'm able to isolate and see his relationship with his brother and say, man, tell me you wouldn't want to have a brother that has your back the way they have each other's back.
And then I'm able to isolate and in my own mind, say, what was the upbringing like to have a father and a mother the way they did him, the two of them and their sisters, and kind of say, maybe, and then isolate and why they fought and isolate how disciplined they are in certain areas.
And then isolate and, hey, what you're doing with the way you're making money and isolate.
You ought to be able to isolate these different areas instead of just saying, hey, everybody falls in the same camp.
No.
And again, earlier when we were talking about, you know, how about this person?
Does that person get to 50-50, all this stuff?
We still don't know.
Things still got to come out to see what's going to happen with this.
And when we have the conversation with the lawyer, we'll have follow-ups.
You know, so that's the part when you're looking at this.
We have to isolate and see what happened with COVID.
Who got it wrong?
Did Fauci get it wrong?
Let's isolate.
Let's address this and let's make sure it never, ever happens again, right?
We had audio shows today on the podcast.
This is the second time in two days.
You know my message was to our guys?
Guys, this can't happen.
We have to isolate this concern.
What is causing it?
Let's get to the bare bottom of what's caused, the root cause of this.
So once we learned what happened with COVID, who effed up, we got to move on.
If Fauci effed up and used powers and other people empowered him, they got to be held accountable.
What the hell happened with Afghanistan?
We just lost $82 billion of weapons there.
What the hell happened with Iraq?
20 years.
You know, what happened with Iran?
What happened with this?
Isolate, move on, learn, and cause people to realize if you do this again and you use this method of abusing people to make money, you take deals from other countries and you give access to them of what we're doing, insider information, you deserve to go to jail.
Isn't there a name for that?
What's the name for that?
It's a treason.
No, no, no.
What happens when you're giving the enemy information about what we're doing?
What do you treat?
Treason, right?
And by the way, I'm convinced.
Benedict Arnold.
I'm convinced there was some of that that happened the last few years.
Those people, it's the ultimate accountability.
I agree 100%.
The ultimate accountability.
Which is why, if we, by the way, I'll pause you.
I've been going for a minute.
Any thoughts you guys got on Tate?
I'll pause because I want to go into the Prince Harry stuff and then we'll wrap it up.
Well, I think what you're basically saying is not everyone is all good and all bad.
We all have a little bit of black and white and it's not all black and white.
Everyone has a little gray area.
I agree with you.
On one hand, I could think Tate is a freaking stud and awesome speaker and has a great message and male empowerment and self-improvement.
And that's awesome.
And a lot of what he says, I fully, fully, fully advocate and agree with.
But I could also sit here and be like, he might have done some of this sex trafficking shit.
I don't know.
I wasn't there.
None of us were.
So to blindly trust someone and blindly follow them is going to get yourself in hot water, whether it's Republican or Democrat or this influencer or that influencer.
And I agree with you.
Everything should be, what's the term that you like to use that you've been using to isolate?
Isolate.
So, yeah, I think if you want to isolate each of the components of what Tate stands for, I think there's a lot more positive than negative.
I think that's what great coaches do.
They isolate, listen, Johnny, you're our best defender.
But man, you're lazy to get that rebound.
Yeah.
Okay.
Great job on the defense side.
You're terrible on the re, you know, and in the locker room, sometimes you say stuff that's off, you know, like you bitch too much.
Like, bring the team together.
We have to isolate areas.
But it's like, it's like you ever play video games, Madden sports?
Yeah.
And they give every athlete their breakdown, their score.
All right.
So hustle, they're 92%.
Offense, they're 85%.
Defense, they're only 62%.
Effort, teammate.
And everyone has their different score in different categories, right?
Like I try to, every day I say health, wealth, happiness.
Health, wealth, happiness.
All right.
How's my health today?
Fucking feel great.
I'm doing good.
I just worked out.
I kind of went out and drank too much.
I had my health.
Wealth.
All right.
I make some money.
All right.
Now, paycheck to paycheck, whatever.
Happiness.
Am I happy?
Am I not?
Like, I'm constantly one through 10 myself.
And your score can constantly be malleable and moving around.
So to get back to Tate, there's a lot of high scores, a lot.
But there's also some high negative scores that could end up biting you in the ass.
So I don't know.
What are your thoughts on that?
No, I'm happy that you said it too.
And my thing is of everything that you said is like, and I think we can't be quick to judge because, I mean, we do Americans love doing that shit.
Oh, oh, Rachel's so rape.
No, it's like, you don't know shit.
I don't know.
I wasn't there.
I don't know nothing about this guy in that capacity.
And, but you could overhear now, especially with all this AI and all this shit, any voice recording now, it might not even be you.
I don't trust any of that shit, bro.
I don't trust any of you.
I saw a video where somebody made Barack Obama was sitting there and speaking.
It wasn't him.
It looked exactly like him.
And this was years ago, bro.
Who knows that?
So like I said, we're quick to judge.
Slow down.
Give the person the benefit of the doubt until it's real, but then you nail it.
Help them accountable when this shit does come out.
So we'll go back to Pat and we'll wrap this up.
But I think what we're really talking about here is a thing called intellectual honesty.
And intellectual honesty is going into evaluate something, isolating the issue, and just being really objective about what you see.
And the weakest debaters you will ever encounter are the ones that have to slip in the, but what about them or not as bad as the other?
And that's the whole pendulum thing.
It's like they can't intellectually, honestly look at something, isolate it, evaluate it with a critical eye and objectivity, and then leave it be.
It represents a threat to their side, so they got to pull in the other bit.
But what about them?
But it wasn't as bad as this.
And that is just weak-willed arguing that great jurists in this country, when you read about the Supreme Court justice and some of the great jurors we've had, have the ability, what they call it, it's not carrying a rope into the courthouse, right?
You're not bringing in something with you that's going to judge your ultimate decision.
You intellectually, honestly, look at it.
And I think that's what we're talking about here.
And I think that the media has lost the way to do it.
And I think if you look at yourself in the mirror, at times each one of us loses the ability to do that.
And this is what Pat's talking about.
Isolate it, judge it, assess it to the benefit of our audience who wants to know and wants to hear these.
Let's move on.
Meaning, isolate and let's move on.
That's it.
Yeah.
Okay.
So last thoughts here.
Harry, record-breaking days, sold 1.45 million copies day one in U.S., UK, and Canada.
A bunch of different things that came out.
It's not, again, like I said, it's not like he needs us to promote it anymore.
The guy's already on track to being the most selling.
By the way, there was a Wall Street Journal video the other day I watched on how these guys make money, $120 million from Netflix.
Apparently, he is a chief something of a company, a C-suite executive of a company.
He gets $120,000 a year there.
They bought their $14 million house in, what is it, somewhere in Santa Barbara.
What is that one place in Santa Barbara, the high-end community, Tom, that Oprah Winfrey lives in?
There's an area.
Oh, there's Carpenteria.
There's Montecito.
Montecito.
Montecito.
It's now this week, Mudacito.
Yeah.
That's true.
It is Modocito.
So, anyways, you want to tell a couple of the stories, Vinny, on what happened to you.
So, yeah, I read a New York post that Prince Harry, he bitterly believed that he was only bred to offer literal spare parts for his brother in case his heir, apparent, ever needed new organs.
And he said, and I quote, two years older than me, Willie was the heir, whereas I was the spare, which is nuts.
He goes, I was the shadow, the support, the plan B.
I was bought into the world in case something happened to Willie.
And he said he understood his role was diversion and distraction from his brother, kidney, blood transfusion, bone marrow.
And he also noted King Charles III could never be on the plane with his elder son because there must be no chance of his first and second in line to be thrown to be wiped out.
Bro, can you imagine like real life?
I mean, he didn't just randomly come up with it.
I can't believe he wrote it, but seeing your brother and going, I was only put here, just God forbid something happens to me.
I know that.
You use me.
I don't think such an ultimate.
And by the way, the way succession works is as soon as William starts having kids, they're in front of you.
Yes.
So when you talk about spare, you become spare and then spare three, spare four, spare five.
Because all of William's kids are in front of Harry.
Well, I don't think that's as crazy as it seems because of this book, because that's just how the monarchy works.
It's your firstborn son since Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus.
That's just since the tale is all this time.
It's the firstborn son that inherits the throne.
That's just kind of how it works.
And then it didn't help that as kids, William was this good-looking, blonde, blue-eyed.
And then Harry's literally the red-headed stepchild.
So like, it didn't help his cause.
But yeah, ironically, somehow, you know, now that William has kind of lost his hair, he ain't the hot stuff anymore.
And all of a sudden, Harry's where it's at.
But Harry kind of was able to fly under the radar.
There's a lot of things that Harry was able to do because he wasn't the heir to the throne.
Okay.
What was that?
Corrupted just posted a comment.
$20 Super Chat.
Shout out to you.
Poor Harry is the most abused woman in the last 50 years.
Oh, my.
That's hilarious.
What's funny was that my question was: is Harry a pimp or is he a simp?
Because the whole knock on him is like, how good, and this is a little, this is a little rated R right here.
How good must this girl be, Megan Markle?
Oh, God.
Pretty big, yeah, I'm out.
I'm out of the throne.
I'm out of the monarchy.
I'm just rolling with my girl now.
Her skills must be all right, is what I'm saying.
I don't know if it's just her.
I think there's a lot of things that were in this book from the family that was there as well.
And he found a girl that he loved and he's being loyal to her.
I respect that.
But there's a lot of this goes in here that predates her of just growing up number two and everything that went around it and Kemala and how that relationship happened.
Him just saying, this is how it happened.
This is how I felt.
You said, believe me, I didn't read the book, not even one sentence, but you're saying there's stuff that you relate to because he loves his girl and he's just going to give it all.
No, I think it's respect.
He's defending his wife with respect, but let's isolate it.
The defense of his wife is here, and now he's talking about a lot of other things over here, like his dad getting divorced, his mom dying, all the things there.
That predated his wife.
So there's a pantheon of things in the book that talk about his various chips and insults and the things that he's really resentful of.
And then he falls in love, he gets married, and he's like, okay, this is red line last drawing.
You know what Bill Clinton once said?
I don't know where I saw this.
Where are my cigars?
No, he said one time where...
Where the hoes at?
Was that not it?
Yeah, I'm actually giving a series.
I don't know.
I'm not going to be here.
So one time.
Tom, guys, stop for a second.
So one time he said, he said, asking a question about his mom.
Apparently his mom was bipolar or something like that.
And he says, there's literally no benefit for me saying anything about my mom, anything bad about my mom.
You know, to me, Rob, you're Mike.
To me, that's social intelligence is what that is.
Okay.
For somebody to say, there's literally nothing beneficial of me.
No good comes from me criticizing my mother.
You can't even find it.
It's a book, Hypomanic Edge, talks about him and another one called First Rate Madness.
Talks about him, talks about Jackson, talks about Kennedy.
And I don't know.
I have a very hard time with us recognizing somebody trashing his parents that made him relevant in the first place and the family you came out of.
If you weren't from that family, you would have sold five copies of your book on day one.
The only reason you sold one and a half million copies is because of your lineage and your family.
And to allow a woman to be okay with you trashing that legacy, I have a very hard time with that character of the duo.
A very, very hard time.
But do you think, and I agree, I agree 100%.
But do you think also the resentment that he has at what they did to him and that he was a spare even gave him more incentives to be like, you know what?
The hell with him.
Guess what?
Certain things should be motivators that you never tell anybody.
Certain things in life are great motivators you never reveal to anybody.
That's the life.
By the way, you could have been born in Compton.
You could have been born in Liberty City.
You could have been born in anywhere else.
You happen to be born and you're ungrateful.
Like the average human being, whether they like him or not, they have to read that and say, I don't give a shit.
Make me a spare.
Can I be a spare?
Are you kidding me?
Like, what are you talking about, bro?
Like, you want me to cry about you being a spare?
And because of that, you sold 1.5 million copies of your book?
I don't know.
I don't, because what this is, what we're recognizing and making okay is, hey, you know, why don't you go like, you know, the whole Kellyanne Conway family with the daughter?
Yeah, I don't I don't I'm not a fan.
Yeah, this is why I never once watched Keeping Up with Kardashians.
I've never watched any of that stuff one time.
I didn't watch it.
I'm not a fan of what this whole story of, I mean, listen, you know who's loving it?
Whoever published the book.
Who published the book, by the way?
Is it Simon and Schuster or Penguin?
I'm curious to know who published this book.
Whoever published the book and convinced them and somehow, some way sold them on what to add the juice to add in there, the editor, the writer, Penguin.
Listen, Penguin, you won.
Good for you.
Congratulations, Penguin, because Penguin doesn't give a shit.
They're like, add more shit, talk more shit, say more shit.
Great.
Boom.
Good for you.
Yeah, I'm good.
And by the way, don't be surprised if in 40 years their kid writes a book about them and tells the truth about who Megan is.
This shit is not a – you don't do that.
He even said he – He even said he got frostbite.
Tom, you were talking about this right earlier.
He's dangling.
He's dangling out of frostbite.
Yeah, it's too much TMI, bro.
It was a party life.
And when I look back and I say, okay, I can see all these things.
He says he's offended and resentful and then protecting his wife.
I objectively look at that, but then I also step back from it and say, dude, you've lived like the most insane, privileged, party-enabled life with unlimited allowance courtesy of the British taxpayers.
Come on, there's a part of me that says, okay, I can read and I can objectively understand how a person might feel these ways.
But then you step back from it and say, dude, do you remember when you partied in Las Vegas and you were like naked for three days and all of the American tabloids had you naked for three days and it was like no consequence and you were just this party animal and you could do it because you were number two.
If you had been number one in line, you couldn't do it.
And so, you know, now you're writing a book and you're milking this cow.
So I, and I don't have a lot of sympathy for that.
And I'm with you on that point.
Yeah.
I'll say one thing about to wrap up.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Well, there's last thought here.
Everyone talks about, especially, I mean, we're talking about male, female relations, intersexual dynamics that are talking about.
We're talking about a husband and a wife here.
So a lot of times you hear the term like, oh, he's got game.
He's got game.
But there's another term that they use in the manosphere called holding frame.
And holding frame would be, I'm a freaking prince, Megan Markle.
Yeah.
My family is the monarchy of the UK of Great Britain and beyond.
You could go back and being a C-list actress on suits or whatever the hell show she was on, or you could be a freaking princess.
Here's the catch, though, baby.
You're coming into my world.
I'm second in line to the throne.
You're going to live.
We can do whatever we want in this world, but this is part of it.
But I feel like there's an element of it, like, this is a representation of the patriarchy, and we're going to tear this down.
And, you know, female is the future, that whole thing.
And he succumbed to that rather than holding frame.
That's why I think people lost a lot of research.
Got to wrap up.
Got to wrap up.
Hey, Kai.
Okay, so can you, for some of you guys that are texting me, telling me, Pat, we're about to cross 500,000.
