Sometimes when you're somewhere randomly, you end up being in a clip with you.
That's it.
And that's what Larry Elder did.
Anyways, episode today's what, Rob?
What?
305.
Shout out to Miami 305.
Special one.
Let's go, Bernie.
We got a lot to talk about.
It's home team.
By the way, just so everybody knows, this Thursday, the podcast this Thursday is going to be myself with two Muslims that I'm invited to have a friendly discussion with two folks who will go give their perspective from the POV and challenges they see a Muslim and Muslim friends are going to come here, have the discussion, which is going to be fantastic.
And then I'm looking forward to that.
We've already had a lot of discussions behind closed doors for this to be done.
We'll be doing many, many more of these.
It'll be myself with the four of them this Thursday.
Put that on your calendar.
Tomorrow, 9 a.m., we're launching the Tom Brady interview.
It's finally going to be released tomorrow, which is going to be epic.
So for some of you that wanted to really see it, it's going to go out tomorrow.
Some of the things I asked Tom, which ring was more important, the seven rings.
Was it more to get one more than Belichick?
Or is it more important to get one more than Michael?
You'll have to see, to see which one you think the answer was.
But aside from that, we've got a lot of things to talk about today.
We got the UAW strike that's taking place right now.
13,000 employees, workers, part of the union, went on a strike.
It's not looking good.
We got a lot of things to talk to you about with that.
Another one is man arrested and suspected assassination attempt at RFK Jr.
And wait till you see how quickly the government moved to give a Kennedy who's running for president Secret Service protection.
Then Denver homeless camp features pop-up bars with rentable ready prostitution tents.
Okay, we'll talk about that.
Nice.
A timetable of sexual assault allegations against Russell Brand.
Americans are least likely ready, this is from CNBC, to care about kids having good manners.
Here's what they prioritize instead.
We'll talk about that.
Donald Trump likes the concept of picking a female running mate for presidential race.
Donald Trump wished liberal Jews a happy new year by accusing them of destroying America.
That didn't make a lot of people happy.
Nice.
There was a, by the way, we have to talk about Beetlejuice to show how special it is.
I mean, it's so special.
It's arousing people.
It's exciting them to get down and dirty and fool around with each other.
Have you taken somebody on a Beetlejuice date to get a?
Because of this situation, can you imagine you going?
You say, hey, so, hey, Mary, would you like to go watch Beetlejuice together?
You know, that's like your way of talking.
You can only imagine like that.
It's like, oh my God, it's going down.
It's kind of amazing.
You want to go get a dinner, have a stiff drink, go out to the club and everything, and then just see a great play that just penetrates us all.
Yeah, that's right.
There's Tom again.
AOC video shows AOC confronted by furious New Yorkers.
Sanders, Bernie Sanders, you guys ready for this one?
Serious discussions should take place on the four-day work week.
Yes, sir.
We're going to go work four days, but get paid for five days.
That math makes a lot of sense.
The genius behind socialists is just something else on a whole different level.
Chinese spy threat to U.S. Congress amplified.
Here's another one.
Then there were two.
Disappearance of second Chinese minister sparks speculation, Financial Times.
Zelensky, guess what he's doing here?
He came to his private equity guys to meet with them.
This private equity firm is called the White House.
He's coming.
We'll talk about that.
Need some walking around, man.
Biden's accusing automakers of a lot of crazy things.
Biden economic policy have quietly made people's lives better.
This is an insider story.
Then Fox News story says, Voters say White House doing more harm than good on inflation.
Googlers, two words you can no longer use at Google.
Maybe we'll talk about that.
You can no longer use words such as share and bundle.
It's offensive.
She used those words.
Obviously, the jet that was missing, $100 million jet that went missing.
I mean, it's not a big deal.
It's just whatever.
Can you guys just look for it?
Can you ask you an idea for a self?
We'll give you a $5 Starbucks card.
Go find that shit.
And it's the one with the most advanced technology.
I'm not a trainer.
The last one, Ali.
7,000 people arrive on Italian Island of 6,000.
Oh, my God.
As migrant crisis overwhelms.
Something's got to happen.
Lempedusa.
Can you imagine?
Guys, there's only 6,000 people.
That's like 330 million people live in America.
340 million people show up here as migrants.
Listen, we got to take them.
We got to take care of these guys.
Anyways, all right, let's go with the main story here.
You, AW strike will be felt beyond Detroit.
National Association of Manufacturers warns this is not good on what's going on over there.
The National Association of Manufacturers has issued a warning about the United Auto Workers strike against Detroit's big three automakers for GM and Stellantis.
Stellantis is like Chrysler, Fiat, Jeep, highlighting the broader economic repercussions.
It may have beyond Detroit.
NAM President Jay Timmons emphasized that the strike would affect the integrated supply chain of small and medium-sized manufacturers across the country, impacting both union and non-union shops and adding to the economic pressures caused by high inflation.
The potential economic consequences of an extended strike are significant with the estimates suggesting that a full shutdown of manufacturing operations at all three automakers for just 10 days could cost the U.S. economy $5.6 billion.
Individual automakers facing production stoppages could incur weekly earning losses of, ready, $400 to $500 million.
Tom, what is going on here?
Well, the first thing is, I think Rob can probably find a chart somewhere on this.
The whole UAW hasn't gone on strike yet.
This is just a subset.
13,000 of them.
Yes, this is the photo op.
The members, all members, is 400,000.
This is 13,000 going on a strike.
So this is the photo op to say we're freaking serious.
And so here they come out for the photo op.
But there's something else going on here.
It's not like the big three didn't see the contract negotiations coming.
And it's not like the big three don't know that in 2009, everybody except Ford, a CEO at the time, Alan Malali, took U.S. money.
You're nodding at him.
I hope I'm getting that right.
During the recession, yes.
And now it's not like the big three didn't get some assistance during COVID.
They did.
And they've rebounded and made some good profits, moved over to EVs.
So they saw this coming.
And maybe behind closed doors, they were trying to give something.
Maybe they weren't.
But the UAW seems really pissed off, which is normally the way they wake up in the morning anyway.
But to me, this is just the photo op.
And yesterday, the quote was, there could be more widespread impact of this.
You saw that yesterday.
Have you seen what they're asking for?
And have you seen what they offer?
Correct.
Now comes the punchline.
Stellantis Chrysler claims that they were on the right as these pickets were coming out.
The photo op was starting like the third day of it.
Stellantis says, we went in and offered 21% wage increase over, I think, 36 months.
They were like, screw you.
We want 40% over, was it over?
It went 36% over four years.
Four years.
So, Ford and GM offered 20%.
Stellantis, 17.5%.
Then they went to 21.
Now they're asking for 36 because they're asking 36 because the CEO made 34% increase in her salary over the last three or four years.
And they want the similar growth for increase in their salary as the CEO got.
So it's a little bit of a pickle on how they want because they're seeing what happened with what do you call it, the UPS strike, how successful they were.
Yeah.
Great time to capitalize.
100 grand driving a brown truck.
That's right.
And Biden said, Biden said, I'm going to be the biggest pro-union president of all time.
And all these unions are seeing it as an opportunity to capitalize off of it because the next guy may not be a pro-union guy.
And Obama came out of hiding and goes up there and says, you know, they're making a lot of profits here.
And I think it's time to have some of those back.
And so he kind of threw a little bacon on the grease fire, you know, two days ago when he walked out.
And so, you know, there's something to be said.
Is there a blend line here that says, hey, the auto industry bounced back a little bit, profits were up.
You know, is it time to negotiate this and do a little bit more for workers, especially at a time of high inflation?
I think there is.
But I also think that the UAW probably wasn't having any of it.
You could have made the best offer you wanted for them.
And I think they were heading out to strike.
Yeah.
Let me give maybe a little more context.
My dad's from Detroit.
My family's from Detroit.
Like I have family, friends in the motor city, baby.
I mean, that's you talk about the big three.
I had to look who the hell's Stellantis because it's Ford, it's GM, and all of a sudden it's Stellantis.
If you remember, they were Daimler Chrysler.
They merged and was part of a German company, Daimler Chrysler, whatever.
But that's the big three.
And for many, many years, this was what made America tick.
Starting with Henry Ford and the initial car that he made.
What is it called?
The T, the F, whatever it was called.
Model T. Model T. There it is.
So here's why it has implications of what's going on.
Because if you're out there and be like, dude, I don't really give a shit about the United Auto Workers.
I've never even heard of these guys.
Here's why this matters.
Number one, it's going to affect 2024 and the election.
Why?
Because Pat hit the nail on the head.
Here's a main story from Wall Street Journal right now.
UAW strike collides right with Biden's manufacturing agenda.
So on one hand, Biden is very pro-union, right?
He's pro-union.
At the other hand, he's talking about bringing manufacturing back, specifically in the EV sector, right?
You did a whole case study on Tesla, what's going on, China, competitive markets, what's going on with that.
So where is the UAW located or where are these cars being built?
Well, the Rust Belt, Michigan, okay, Pennsylvania, Ohio.
These are what is known as battleground states in the election.
I mean, 2008, 2012, they went Obama.
2016, they went Trump.
2020, they went back to Biden.
This is arguably the most important part of the country when it comes to the electorate.
So if you're like, I don't really give a shit about a car or whatever, it's going to affect the election if you appease these people or not, especially the union.
So Biden, you know, he did everything with the Inflation Reduction Act, which was just sort of a mini Green New Deal, if you recall that.
That's kind of how they factor in that.
And he also did the CHIPS Act.
So this is all kind of part of the manufacturing situation that's going on in America.
All right.
Now let's get down to like why this matters to you beyond politically.
So you hit the nail on the head.
They want, I think, 35, 40% raise over four years.
They want a 32-hour work week.
Interesting.
So they want to make more and work less.
They don't want a 32%.
They want to work 32 hours, but get paid for 40 hours.
So it's not, they want a 32-hour work week.
They want to get paid for 40 hours for 32 hours.
By the way, you know what?
So do I, sir.
That's like getting the great raise.
That's like the green equalizer raise on top of your money raise.
But here's where this comes down to supply and demand, right?
When we talk about raising the minimum wage, we're talking about fight for 15.
What happens if you pay these guys more?
Okay.
So the car prices, if you've seen what's going on with the car prices, Pat, don't worry.
I'm not going to start advocating.
Everyone start Ubering, but you should.
Car prices since COVID have gone up 20, 25%.
The average car payment for a new car in 2019 was, what, $550?
Now it's $750.
Gas is at an all-time high, you know, dealing with that, everything with Ukraine, whatever with that.
Again, bouncing up again, so if you pay these guys more and they basically succumb to demands, how much more are they going to charge the consumers for cars and chips and auto and everything with that?
So it's a really slippery slope.
Last point here.
You talk about how much it's costing if they go on a 10-day strike.
The cost of the economy, if they go, it costs $5 billion a day.
That's $15 to $20 billion a month that it'll be costing the economy, supply chain, trucks, drivers, everything that goes into that.
But specifically, the auto industry could lose between $400 and $500 million a week.
That's $2 billion a month.
And the auto industry makes up 3% of America's total GDP.
A couple things here.
Very good points, by the way.
Rob, can you pull up that chart I sent you that I think Tom used on a recent case study here?
So private sector union membership has declined sharply in the U.S. Look at this.
1972, Tom pointed out it was at 24.2% on the private sector.
Right now, it's at 6%.
What does this tell you?
Americans are realizing, stay the hell out of my business union.
By the way, a couple of things you got to be thinking about outside of this.
Why is this such a big deal?
So this UAW was founded by this guy named Walter Reuter.
If you don't know this guy's history, he was the president for like 24 years.
Insane guy.
John F. Kennedy sent him to go negotiate with Castro on the, you know, one of the hostages.
LBJ leveraged this guy hardcore.
Richard Nixon said the only way that John F. Kennedy won is by owing a guy like this a favor.
This guy's like Jimmy Hoff on steroids.
That's who this guy is, Walter Reuter.
He was killed.
He would have two attempts on assassination.
He died on a plane crash.
He's like a legit, tough guy who was an incredible politician.
If you hear him speak, you're going to say this guy could have run for office.
He was that good at what he did.
Walter, Reuter, Rooter, you can pronounce it any different way.
So here's what it gets technical.
In the 88 years of this union being around, and remember, it's not just cars, it's 400,000 members because it's many different industries that are a part of it.
It's not just cars we're talking about.
It's automotive, aerospace, and other industries.
So we say auto workers, but it's a massive union.
Started small and now it's massive.
In the 88 years, there's never been a time where these three companies have simultaneously been targeted by a strike.
Never in 88 years.
Simultaneously, it's not been GM, Ford, and Stellantis.
You know, it's never happened before.
So that's a big deal.
Number two, a total of 61 plants have been announced that they're going to be shut down.
61 plants.
So you got GM Saint 33 on their end, idol plants.
Ford's got 18.
And you got Fiat Chrysler is going to have another 10.
This is going to affect around 50,000 jobs, give or take.
The economy is going to feel it.
Now, the good news, bad news.
What's the good news?
The good news is the longest strike they've had in the recent years was in 2019.
It lasted 40 days.
They're going to have to figure out a way to negotiate this.
What's the bad news?
The bad news is there's a guy named Bob Iker right now, and there's another strike going on with writers, you know, what is the Actors Guild and actors that they've been going.
I think writers been since May 12th, which is almost four months.
Wow.
Actors been since July 14th or something, so that's two months.
Bill Maher wanted to bring his show back.
I'm going to bring you back.
I'm not going to bring you back.
It's not going to be as good.
Writers are going to be good.
Drew Barry Moore went through what she's going through.
And then UPS got what they got with the whole salary.
They're going to make $100,000 to be a driver.
So again, they're capitalizing today.
The pressure is all on one party and one individual right now.
Okay.
The party is the Democratic Party, and the individual is Joe Biden.
Yesterday, Stephen King tweeted something out.
If you can go on Twitter, Rob, I retweeted this guy.
Yesterday, he said the following.
Here's what he said yesterday on Twitter.
Stephen King, the writer?
Stephen King, the writer.
Just go to my second tweet.
If you go up, they go down a little bit, go down a little bit, right?
They're zooming right there.
His tweet is, Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, makes $29 million a year.
I retweet it and I say, Stephen King, the king of horror, has estimated net worth of $500 million.
So here's a guy that's a socialist worth a half a billion dollars talking shit about another girl, female CEO of a Fortune 500 company making $29 million a year, which, by the way, good for them for making their money.
Here's a crazy thing to be thinking about.
One of the reasons why I respected this guy named Bob Ben Moshe, AIG CEO, I was there when these guys went to the government and asked for $183 billion.
When AIG was about to go out of business, the American International Group, the most hated company in America in 09, 2010, it was so bad that they would tell us when you're selling insurance, don't say AIG.
Say American General.
Don't use our logo.
That's how bad it was.
Wow.
Bob and Moshe comes in.
We're in Chicago at the Ritz-Carlton, I believe.
We're having dinner.
It's David Herzog, the CFO of AIG, who used to be the CFO, I believe, of American General.
Anyways, but he was the CFO of AIG.
If you type in David Herzog, CEO, CEO, CFO, you'll see the guy was making very good money.
They come in to ask for $183 billion from the government.
This guy's got three years left to live, Bob and Moshe.
He's on his deathbed, living at his vineyard in Croatia, Dubrovnik.
Used to be the former CEO of MetLife.
What ends up happening?
He comes back.
They take the 183.
They end up paying the 183 back and $21 billion of interest, give or take.
And then he dies.
Wow.
The announcement was made at an award ceremony of ours on a Friday nighttime.
I don't know if you remember that.
I remember it very well.
When Mark got up and he said, got some bad news for you.
Bob Ben Moshe has just died, but his legacy lives on.
So the part where Stephen A. King, Stephen King has a point is GM never paid the taxpayers back.
And she's still making $29 million a year.
So socialist is trying to make a point.
But unfortunately, the point where he's right is the fact that the people that got money from the government, those are the same guys that haven't paid back, but AIG ended up paying back.
And that guy's a true capitalist.
There's a bunch of things going on here with UAW.
What's going to end up happening here is there's a lot on the line with politics.
I don't think this is going to go that long.
I think they're going to figure this thing out fairly quickly.
I think 20%, they're asking for 36%.
You got to know what this means.
If you're making $100,000 a year, you know where you're going to go to?
$136.
If you're making $30 an hour, you're going to go to $42 an hour, $41 an after they give you the $36.
They'll eventually figure it out.
Unlike Hollywood, where they're not caving, these guys will eventually have to cave.
Let me just get, you hit the nail on the head with how much money they're making.
You know, the biggest potentially who can reap the benefits of all this is none other than our friend Elon Musk at Tesla.
Why?
Because they're not union.
You know, you did the whole thing at the CEO meeting of what we're going to do, the meetings.
Is it union?
Is it not union?
It was a very interesting dynamic.
Here's how much the average worker gets paid in each of these companies.
Ready?
So this is according to the Securities Exchange Commission, the SEC, Gary Gensler out there.
So the average pay for a GM worker, 80 grand a year for GM.
The average pay for a Ford worker, 75 grand a year.
Stellantis Chrysler, 68 grand a year.
So those are the big three.
So you're making between 68 and 80.
So I'll call it 70 to 80 grand.
Interesting.
According to the SEC, you know how much the average Tesla worker makes?
How much?
Half of that.
34 grand.
34 grand.
So when you talk when, and now part of that is because they have factories in China and Elon Musk has been sort of avoiding, you know, unionized and what, right to work states.
That's a whole nother conversation with Tom that you've done that.
But this is all part of the government-mandated EV agenda, the EV race, what's going on with China, the U.S. You did a whole thing about it, but it's very interesting and it has mammalizations on your car and the politics.
By the way, I want to wrap it up with this and got to go to the next story because we're at 24 minutes in and we're at one story.
Last thing I'll tell you about.
You know what a union leader, a mother-in-law, and lawyers have in common?
Union leaders, mother-in-law, and lawyers have in common.
Let me give you a perspective.
Mother-in-law comes in.
Wife is there.
She's spending time with the mother-in-law.
Husband's at work.
And she says, you know, I don't know about Larry.
He doesn't work as hard as Johnny does.
Your sister's husband works very hard.
And Larry's not a hard worker.
And I don't appreciate what Larry does.
I think Larry should treat you better.
That bag you have, the coach, why doesn't he buy you a Louis Vuitton?
Because Johnny does.
Oh my God, I hate this motherfucker.
The wife is sitting there.
And then the husband comes home.
And when the husband comes home, he's like, hey, babe, how you doing?
Wow, am I doing?
What do you think I was doing all the time?
Cleaning the house, taking care of the kids.
What kind of a husband are you?
Why can't you gave me the personal Louis done like that?
Johnny does.
And the husband's like, what are you talking about, bro?
Long ass day.
I want to deal with this thing.
What are you talking about, babe?
He has no clue what happened.
But it was the union leader, aka mother-in-law.
Now, let's talk about another one.
Husband and wife are setting up a nuptial agreement, pre-nuptial agreement.
They're about to get married.
He has to get his lawyer.
She has to get her lawyers because that's how the code works.
You can't get one lawyer to do the nuptial.
You need one on each side.
Lawyers come in.
Yeah, for only $3,000, we can get this done.
It's not even a problem.
It's only going to cost $3,000.
Then you realize, here's the future bride.
Here's the future groom.
They're about to get married.
All of a sudden, you realize the lawyers are on the same team.
Your lawyer's not on your team.
Her lawyer is not on her team.
The lawyers are on each other's team.
Why?
Because here's what they do.
Wink.
Let's start a fight.
22 additional hours times 400 bucks.
Boom.
I'm sorry, you got an $11,200 bill.
It was supposed to be $3,000, but you know, you fought for those miles and you fought for all this stuff.
So it's not $11,000 miles.
So what does union leaders do?
Hey, it's not there.
What your boss is doing.
Not fair.
That they're doing what they're doing.
Think about what they're doing.
It's like, oh my God, God, I have a horrible boss.
This is such a horrible situation I'm in.
Boom.
All of a sudden, shit.
The union leader is your mother-in-law.
That's what's going on with these union leaders.
So when you think about their job is to divide.
When you think about many of the politicians on the games they're playing, their job is to divide and then they conquer.
And then they come in and say, hey, hey, Mr. Union leader, I know you're so worried about us and I'm having a hard time paying a membership.
Pay the membership.
But we're going to take care of you because we care about you.
But as long as you pay the membership and a portion of time, but we care about you.
But you got to pay the membership.
Can I go get another job?
Because I really need to.
You can't get another job.
But no, you can't get another job because, you know, we have to be loyal to one another.
But I need to go start a show because I'm a talent.
And if I don't create comedy, I don't work.
What do I do?
You got to be loyal to the union.
You got to be good to the union.
You understand what happens here?
That's what's going on with the union.
You know who they need, by the way?
And we'll wrap up.
They need the two arbitrators from the wedding crashers.
They got to convince Bond.
If you're going to throw some miles this way, you shut your mouth when you're talking to me.
Go to comatose for me.
Let's go to the next story.
Let's go to the next story.
All right.
A timeline of sexual assault allegations against Russell Brand.
Here we go.
Speaking of pre-carols.
Here we go.
Here we go.
The next one is here.
Next target, folks.
It's called Guilty Until Proven Innocent.
Modern day.
They've evolved.
They used to be innocent until proven guilty.
Now it's guilty until proven innocent.
So where's the story here?
It's okay.
Okay, we go 2006.
This is a Guardian story.
2006, a woman alleges that Russell Brand sexually assaulted her during a three-month relationship when she was 16 years old.
And Brand was 30 years old, was a BBC radio presenter.
She described him as controlling and emotionally abusive.
She said he referred to her as the child and advised her to lie to her parents, leading to allegations of grooming.
That's 2006 in London.
Okay.
2007, Jordan Martin claims Brand sexually assaulted her and was physically and emotionally abusive during a six-month relationship.
She detailed in an incident at a Manchester hotel where Brand became angry and assaulted her.
Martin published these allegations in a book in 2014, which Brand has never challenged.
2012, woman alleges that Brand raped her at his Los Angeles home in July of 2012.
She claimed he blocked her from leaving and apologized via text message.
Afterwards, she received therapy treatment, but decided against pursuing legal action.
2013, a woman who met Brand at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting accuses him of sexually assaulting her at his LA home.
She claimed he tried to kiss her and remove her clothes.
And when she resisted, he shouted at her and later threatened her with legal action if she spoke out.
2020, the woman who alleged sexual assault during her underage relationship with Brand contacted his literary agent who denied the allegations.
Brand talent agency, Tavistock Wood, initially supported him, but later terminated all professional ties with him, stating they were misled.
2023, a joint investigation by the Times Sunday Times and Channel 4 dispatches detailed multiple allegations against Brand.
He denied the claims in a video posted online, which got 70 million views, asserting that all his relationships were consensuals and accusing the media of coordinated attack.
Adam.
Yeah, well, where have I seen this playbook before?
Who have we done some interviews with that, you know, made a major name for themselves, was talking about the Matrix, was talking about...
Does it rhyme with brand you great?
It does.
This reminds me eerily of what happened with Andrew Tate.
But by the way, this is the playbook, ladies and gentlemen.
You know, if you speak against the narrative, if you speak against whether it's Big Pharma or as Alex Jones says, the globalists and the New World Order, yeah, this is what they do, right?
So, you know, we'll probably discuss a story about how they tried to assassinate RFK Jr.
That was the old school playbook.
Whether it's RFK or Bobby Kennedy or Martin Luther King, they just full-on kill you.
Now it's character assassination.
We've talked about this a million times on the podcast.
But what's interesting about me is all these allegations, allegations, anonymous people, they're from 15 years ago.
They didn't want to bring this up 15 years ago.
All of a sudden, Russell Brand, I think he's got like, what, 6 million YouTube subscribers?
You did his show a couple weeks ago, I want to say, right?
Was that he's got suspended him, by the way, he can't make no money right now.
Get out of here.
This morning.
Yeah, this is what they do, guys.
He's been demonetized.
There's two things.
First of all, to Adam's point, these things happened 15 years ago.
And let's not forget, in between the 15 years when these accusations happened, and today, there was a giant movement in the United States called the Me Too.
Me Too movement, correct.
Where it was believe all women.
And these women failed to come out then.
And my favorite is yesterday.
Newsweek publishes this story.
Jimmy Fallon failed to stop Russell Brand harassing Catherine McPhee.
This is yesterday.
This is an old video from a tonight show appearance.
Same day, Catherine McPhee denies Russell Brand, made her feel uncomfortable on a tonight show appearance.
So you have one outlet repeating that it's uncomfortable and making her feel sexualized, and then another news outlet going, yeah, there's nothing wrong here.
Yeah, and I think it's two major news outlets that have been going after him.
It's the Times and then Channel 4, both, I think, and Britain right there.
But this is what's happening right now.
And at the same time, there's somebody going to be watching this.
It's like, well, what happens if he did it?
What happens if he did it?
Okay.
Prove it.
You know, whether it's Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby, yeah, there are some legitimate scumbags out there.
But what, yeah, what we've also learned is that, no, it's not believe all women or don't trust all men.
It's a very nuanced individual situation.
And Russell Brand, who has publicly said, yeah, dude, I was out there.
I was a Hollywood movie star.
I'm with a bunch of chickens.
Thousands of women.
Yeah, like thousands.
You know, like your average.
When you have, this is my opinion.
Come at me.
When you have that much access to women and celebrity and fun, you don't need to rape and pillage like you're some dirtbag.
And so, and he doesn't strike me as a type of person who's like power hungry.
He speaks truth to power.
And not and not condoning this or whatever.
It's just, it is what it is.
16 years old, Pat, is the age of consent in England.
Let's just, I'm not sticking up for that.
That's not my bag.
Do you know where it also is the age of consent?
What?
In 35 states in America.
Yeah.
Did you know that?
No, I thought it was 18 and over in 10 years.
Every single state, because Florida, and I'm not condoning hanging out with a 16-year-old, but you know, in New York, it's actually 16.
California, it's 18.
Every state 75% is in the America.
United States of America is 16 plus.
It's a lot of seniors.
It's 40.
Florida is 40.
41.
Yeah, but Pat, I just, I think we have a problem, especially when people say, that's a joke.
I don't know.
Yeah, that was a goal since Florida's 40.
You know, that's against my rules, the 40 plus crackers.
Come on.
I'm sick and tired of hearing innocent until proving guilty because that's in the public eye, you're guilty.
And the fact, dude, I saw this meet this newsstand in England.
Everything is all going after him.
And I don't care what anybody says, Pat, if right now, right now, on all the magazines, it showed Patrick's face and said rape accusation.
He's a rapist.
That's it.
I don't care what you're going to say.
And like you said, we saw it with Brett Kavanaugh.
We saw with Julian Assange, who's rotting away in a prison because they're telling us the truth.
Andrew Tate said, Welcome to the club.
He goes, They don't like competition.
This old must say, Welcome.
They don't like he's being targeted by a coordinated media attack for his right-wing criticism.
And then Tucker said, Criticize the drug companies and question the war in Ukraine, and you can be pretty sure that this is going to happen.
And mind you, this documentary, four Tom out of the five women are in the shadows.
This revealing crazy documentary, which just so happens to be ready to go to make money.
And it's like you're sitting in the shadows.
It's hard.
If you can't see the person's face, it's hard to see their truth.
Like, I want to see who's talking.
It's like all these anonymous whistleblowers.
They're like, no, no, you can't see them, but trust us, behind this door, there's people saying that you did what you did.
Again, I don't know because I wasn't there.
Let it all come out.
But it's just weird that all this happens once you start speaking the truth.
And Pat, I think I mentioned this to you yesterday.
You're not really poking the bear unless this happens.
He's affecting their wallets.
He's messing with big pharma.
And they just hit one little switch.
Boom.
That's it.
The behind the shit.
They loved him a few years ago when he was a liberal playboy.
He called Katie Hawkins a Hitler.
He called her Hitler.
He stormed into her thing and called her Hitler.
He's like, oh, he's so cool.
Hey, oh, not the shirt.
You know, he's just take my eyes, but not the shirt.
You know, the question becomes: how about this guy named Schofield, who worked for BBC?
Oh, he's dealing with mental issues.
He's having problems.
This is so challenging with all the pressure he's got to deal with.
He was messing with diddling kids.
Grooming a 16-year-old boy.
But his mom is upset and he's going, oh, no, no, BBC.
Okay.
And then you got this Hugh Edwards guy paying, you know, I don't know if you read the story with Hugh Edwards, what he's doing.
No, but, you know, life is challenging for those guys.
But God forbid Russell Brand comes out and says what he said.
They're going to be targeting the guy.
Again, if he's done what he's done, the lawyers got to do their jobs, but you got to prove.
My biggest problem here is the following is the jump to conclusion society that we're living in right now before anybody is accused of it being right or wrong immediately, boom, allegations.
Nope, they're guilty.
We did this with politics in 2016 where somebody was, you know, claimed he had been Russia collusion for three years and everybody bought into it.
And then we had believed with Tate what's going on, believed with so many different people.
This doesn't mean it can't be true.
We just can't jump to conclusion, believe in everything.
But when a guy like him goes out there and as loud as he is, has been hooking up for as long as he has, all of a sudden he calls out a few people.
Beautiful target to be.
You want to know what's crazy?
Why don't you hear these types of allegations come out against someone like Dan Bilzerian, right?
Or even Leonardo DiCaprio.
Does anybody get more ass than those two guys?
No.
But here's the difference.
They stay in their lane.
They don't say anything.
Leo is a huge advocate of animals and the green energy.
And that's great.
He's Hollywood.
Good for him.
So as long as he doesn't speak out against any narrative.
So are you saying like Russell should do a video with animals?
He should pet like not a sexual vision.
He should pet a touch.
You even look at someone like Dan Bilzerian.
That guy does two things.
Tries to make money and he tries to hook up.
You know, do his thing.
But once you start talking about the things that Russell Brand talks about, that Andrew Tate talks about, that Alex Jones talks about, whether you think it's right or wrong, once you start talking about these things, the people paying the bills up top, they're going to come out.
You know who wins here?
Two companies.
X and Rumble.
That's who wins here.
1,000%.
Two companies.
You demonetize this guy.
Two companies win.
X and Rumble.
Let's talk about an economy story.
Bobert's lover owns gay-friendly Aspen Bar.
Bobert?
Is that what you're calling her?
Bobert.
Is it Lauren Bober?
Is it Bobert?
Can I pronounce the way I pronounce these words or do I have to do it like that?
Look your head, look at it.
All the words you pronounced.
First of all.
Yours and Amid.
Is this the story of her going to it?
Or isn't this the story that I'm telling?
Yeah.
They go to this.
Believe all women before you even say this story.
So Lauren, Lauren Bobert.
Yes.
A Republican representative is romantically involved with Quinn Gallagher, the co-owner of Hooch Kraft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, known for hosting drag shows.
Bobert, previously critical of drag, was captured engaging in public affection with Gallagher, who profits from drag performances.
She comments on drag, include tweets like, take your children to church, not to drag bars.
Video footage from a theater outing in Denver showed Quinn Gallagher fondling Lauren's breast, which ignited controversy.
Initially denying the claims, she later attributed her behavior to her public and difficult divorce and issued an apology saying the past few days have been very difficult and humbling.
And I'm truly sorry.
The incident at the theater involved disruptive behavior vaping and recording the show leading to police involvement.
First of all, I don't know if you know this or not.
Speaking of her, she's single as of this morning.
She broke up with that guy.
So Lauren.
Look at this.
First of all, she, dude, what a fun girl.
They're getting handed.
What is fun girl?
Listen, mind you, though, this is all in the dark.
Is he repping her tip?
Yeah, she's grabbing his card.
But look straight up.
Is that actually what's happening?
That's real, Adam.
That's real.
Is this your first time seeing it?
That's your first time.
I saw her vaping.
I didn't realize there were some great victims.
But here's the thing.
Hey, Lauren, if you're listening, I'm on the market and I'm a big fan of your politics.
But listen, so I just find it funny that this whole ordeal, Pat, and like we just saw it, it's recorded on multiple night vision cameras.
CNN, they contact CNN immediately.
All right.
It's a big, big story.
But you know what?
When it comes to the West Wing, outside the situation room, they find a big bag of booger sugar.
Guess what?
No cameras.
Nobody knows what's going on.
Nobody knows what's going on.
So theater has better camera equipment than the White House.
That makes a lot of sense.
Pat, they had no common sense.
And they've got infrared so you can see people at night and everything like that.
It's not the White House though.
No, they're those old blurry cameras.
Anytime it's the White House or like Epstein's prison cell, there's no case.
They weren't working that day or nothing.
I thought about it.
If she had, she should have brought Hunter Biden with her.
You never would have seen any of that.
None of this would have been sick.
What an idea.
But she, by Ju, I'm not going to, let's just be honest.
She just got divorced.
I think she has four or five kids.
Rob, same with Lauren.
She's a little hottie and she has fun.
She's vaping, grabbing boobs.
Listen, Lauren, I'm single.
So I'm going to message you up.
I love her.
She's fun.
What are the chances that Hunter Biden's in her DMs?
He's probably in there right now.
He's probably.
What are the chances saying?
That guy doesn't know how to party.
Like, you know, my kind.
Let's go do something together.
And guess what?
Dump the amateur.
Dump the amateur.
I'm right here.
Tom, what do you think about this?
Honestly, what do you think about this?
All the jokes aside.
So all the jokes aside, I think there's another side to this.
And that is she knows that she is riding the third rail.
And for those of you that don't know the subway, that's one of the electricity, the dangerous one.
She's right next to the third rail every time she makes a speech in Washington because she is number one was anti-establishment.
Number two, was conservative.
And number three.
She's riding the third rail.
She's like an inch from her.
There's a third guy involved.
She was an inch away from her.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Listen, for Middle Eastern, what is a third rail?
I'll break it down to my friend.
Third guy who's some third guy.
If someone falls off a subway stand, you got to reach down and you scream at them.
Don't touch the third rail.
It's one in the middle where the first one.
She shouldn't have touched it.
She should not have touched it.
And so what this is, is you're a congresswoman.
You got to know with your background and what you stand for that they are looking for you to trip and to do anything and to not say thank you when you hold the door open.
Honestly, does this hurt her political career?
1 million percent.
This is not helping.
I guess what it does.
This is not good.
If I was on her team, I would be saying, Lauren, what are you doing?
They're looking for you every moment.
Can I be the devil's advocate?
You just gave them three things.
I know you want to go out and have a good time and you're getting divorced as a new boyfriend.
I get it, Lauren.
But you don't have to put yourself in a position where you're giving them ammunition.
You want to be the third rail now?
Go ahead.
No, no, no.
Go ahead.
What's your say this hurts her career?
Why?
How is any of this helpful?
She's number one.
Full on lying.
1,000 votes.
Okay.
But that's politics, though.
No, politics aside.
By the way, Rob keeps playing this.
Are you playing this for us or for yourself?
Rob, show us your hands, Rob.
Show us your hands.
Well, here's your pants on.
What the hell are you doing?
Hang on.
We'll give a...
Show your hands.
Put your pants on, dude.
I'm going to give Rob a moment for himself.
We'll go good, bad, ugly here.
So in terms of politics, she's probably one of the more attractive Congresswomen.
Okay.
At the same time, Benny, she's also 36 with four kids.
She's 36, I'm 42.
Stay away.
I'm messaging her right now, Pat.
Huge fan.
You're not ready to be a stepdad.
I'm not.
Whatever.
I'm messaging her right now.
She's in Colorado, which has gone from red to purple to full-on blue these days.
She's in a red district.
That's the only reason she's got elected, but this doesn't help her.
So she was asked, number one, this happened at the Beetlejuice situation.
If you've never seen the movie Beetlejuice, it was a musical.
Yeah, the musical, the real Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
Great movie.
Michael Keaton, amazing.
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
But she was accused of vaping.
Some lady behind her who was apparently pregnant was like, hey, can you stop vaping?
She's like, yeah, I'll do what I want to do, whatever.
Allegedly, she was like, no, I wasn't vaping.
She's like, it was the fog machines.
It's like, no, clearly you're vaping.
You lied.
We caught you in a lie.
Not a good look.
And we all know politicians lie, but this is on camera.
But then she was asked to leave for whatever.
She was taking selfies in the middle of the night.
They kicked her out and she gave the classic, don't you know who I am thing?
And they go, no, we know exactly who you are, Representative Bobert, Bobert.
And you get the hell out of here.
She flicked up the middle finger.
It's drama.
This isn't a good look.
But look, if you're a public figure, you obviously have the entitled to your private life.
I get it.
But when you're giving handies, vaping, getting your titties rubbed at a public venue.
In the dark, it's pitch black.
She doesn't think people are recording her and then they're calling CNN.
So you're saying that she should be doing that because it's dark?
No, no.
What I'm saying is she shouldn't be doing that.
No, what I'm saying.
In a theater.
I get the vaping triggered them to watch, but dude, multiple cameras.
It's not like, by the way, we're watching it.
Like Pat said, this is in night vision.
Nobody is seeing it.
You know who has night vision cameras?
Every theater because it's always at dark.
Except the White House girl.
Except the White House.
Except the White White House.
Except the White House.
But Adam, here's the thing.
Well played.
She's going to get fans.
The younger crowd, the younger guys are definitely going to be fans.
And guess what?
They're going to be trying to slide in her DMs.
I just messaged her.
Here's the thing.
Adam, that's serious.
And even if it doesn't work out, you know what the beauty about today and this culture is?
She could go to OnlyFans and she'd make a killing after this.
That is probably what her future is.
That's well, God bless her.
But wait a minute.
Do you think it up?
If she gets on the public, you think she's done done.
I don't, well, I don't.
When is she up for re-election?
I don't.
She's a representative, so it's every two years.
So she's coming up for re-election.
She is absolutely a pubic figure, a public figure.
And she's a 62-year-old child over here.
I love it.
And she won the last election by less than a thousand votes.
Yeah.
So it's not like she's Teddy Kennedy in Boston, and you're going to get 82% of the vote.
Every time.
There's a lot going on here.
Peck, you told Rob to put his pants on.
It's gotten to the point where I came and looked at the computer.
We all know that.
I think, what's the percentage of political ads that are negative?
She won by more than 26,500 votes.
Oh, nearly retained her seat against the menu.
The Republican legislature retained her seat against the Congress challenge.
500 total.
By 3,600 total.
Oh, wow.
I think she's going to gain the election, Pat.
That was the re-election.
Wow, 600.
Point is it's a close rate.
It's a mess.
And we all know that I think 75% of political ads are negative.
Look what Donald Trump did.
Joe Biden's falling apart.
Like, it's all negative.
Dude, you know, you spent a million bucks on ads showing her giving a handy during Beetlejuice.
It wasn't a handy.
It was a rubbie.
Whatever it was.
It wasn't.
It's not a good look.
It's unbecoming of office.
I did it.
But I messaged her.
She's like, what's up?
You up?
Anyway, this is.
I'm a fan, Laura.
But listen, Lauren Elephant.
Even though she lied about this, clearly, you got to believe all women.
You're damn right.
Okay.
All right.
Next story.
Next story we go here.
What is a woman?
What do you want to go to next?
You want to go to AOC or you want to go to Nola Suzuelinsky?
Guys, Zelensky went and met up with his private equity camp to raise the money.
He's coming in to collect this money from the PE firm.
It's not BlackRock.
It's not State Street.
It's not Vanguard.
It's called the White House.
Nice.
Zelensky to meet U.S. senators with Ukraine aid under threat.
So in other words, he's coming to say you haven't paid your debt.
What are we waiting for?
Ukrainian President Zelensky has said to meet with the top U.S. Senate leaders, including Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, during his visit to Washington.
The meeting is aimed at securing renewed commitments from the U.S. to assist Ukraine in its effort to regain territory occupied by Russia.
The meeting in Congress comes as House Republicans are preparing to block a Biden administration request for an additional $24 billion in Ukraine aid with a deadline of September 30th for the end of the fiscal year.
Conservative hardliners in the House have threatened a government shutdown if the budget deal includes more aid to Ukraine.
Zelensky has been vocal about Ukraine's need for additional weaponry, emphasizing the importance of modern system and restoring the country's territorial integrity.
So he's coming, in other words, to say, I need more money, pay up.
If you don't, you know, this is going to hurt you because your people are going to have to come and fight and your kids are going to come and have to fight.
And he's going to use the guilt tactic to get people to want to pay the money to it.
So, Tom, what do you think is going to end up happening here with this Zelensky visit?
Well, there's two things that are coming together, and you mentioned one of them.
We have another debt deal.
That's right.
Just that quick, we have another debt deal.
And they made, and Zelensky's, I think there's nefarious things going on here.
You know, you just send money, not arms.
Why don't you just send money that's been turned into weapons?
I mean, but instead we're sending all this aid, and it sure doesn't look like it's getting to the people.
I think, number one, this is exactly what Kevin McCarthy needed.
One of the things, because he's got to get the debt deal on.
By the way, the U.S. just crossed, like in the last week, $33 trillion in debt.
So it went 33.
And since our great legislators, our congressmen representing us, since the debt ceiling crisis and the deal they made, they've managed to keep that credit card down to $1 trillion per month.
And over the last five years, they've added $11.5 trillion.
So 33% of the $33 trillion have been added in just the last five years since they made a debt deal for the rest of us.
And I think the newer debt deals, they just, they got to have some leverage.
And all this is Kevin McCarthy saying, I'm going to get what I want in there.
And this isn't necessarily going to bring the debt down.
I'm going to get what I want in there.
Zelensky is going to get some of this.
The Biden administration is going to make sure he gets some of this.
But it means McCarthy is also going to get stuff that his side wants.
And once again, the can gets kicked down the road on the American tax bill.
But is it ridiculous?
Like, we've created a monster.
The guy is, his country is in war right now, right?
He's flying here because we said, hey, we're going to give you money.
The guy's flying here to be like this.
Hey, listen, I know you said you were giving me this gift.
Where the hell is it?
Do you understand where we've gotten in our country, Tom, where a president of a different country that we said, yeah, we're going to give you money at some point, but one side is saying, nah, we can't afford it right now.
You're getting on a plane to come here to be like, yo, yo, yo.
Can't stand that.
Pat, is that, and not just, by the way.
You know what it is?
It's kind of like when you have money and you go to a restaurant with your friends and everybody expects you to get the bill.
Exactly.
It's like when you go out with your family members, the family members come to you and saying, you have the money.
Why don't you pay for it?
It's like three siblings.
The sister makes the most money.
She's an executive.
She got a degree, MBA.
She makes $280 a year.
The other two siblings, younger brothers, they're not really workers.
One makes $120, one makes $60.
They say, hey, sister, since you're the CFO of XYZ company, you make all the money.
Mom just died.
You pay for the funeral costs.
You have all the money.
We don't.
It's an entitled attitude to come and demand money.
It's as if he has something on somebody in the White House to say, you better pay up or else.
It's as if, not as if.
As if.
It's obviously true.
There's a part of it that makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Go ahead.
Let me give a little perspective here because, by the way, when do you think this is going to come to a head?
Well, he's coming next week.
No, no, like this entire situation with Ukraine.
January of 2025, if there's a precedent.
Correct.
This is not getting resolved in the next three, six months.
This is going to be, you know, we talk about the culture wars that's going on in America, right?
That's going to be hot-button issues during the election, abortion, LGBT, trans, everything, critical race.
This is actual wars, right?
And the American people are going to have a vote because you're going to assume that Biden is going to double down on this, obviously, if he makes it to the debate stage of this is why we need to be here.
This is why we got to protect NATO.
We got to protect democracies.
You can't just invade countries.
There's going to be a narrative, no doubt.
And then Trump, I'm assuming, is going to say, I could fix this in one day.
There would be no war without me.
Putin's my guy.
Like, you know, he's going to give obviously a completely different narrative.
And the American people, rightfully so, are going to have the ability to decide: do you want to keep giving money to Ukraine or not?
But it's not just money.
It's three things.
Because actually, Rob, shout out to you.
You did some research.
This is actually as of this summer, so it might be a couple months old.
But the United States, by far and away, has given the most to Ukraine.
You talk about the big three, big three auto.
Here are the big three ways that countries, not just the United States, have donated money.
Invested.
Exactly, invested.
So it's military, financial, and humanitarian.
So 60% of the United States have done has been military aid.
30% financial and 10% humanitarian.
But listen, as much as it is a White House issue, it's not like the United States is just funding this alone.
Combined, the EU, UK, Germany, Japan, Canada, Poland, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, France, Italy, Finland, Czech Republic, Austria, Spain, Slovakia, South Korea, Lithuania, and Belgium have all given massive amounts of money, whether it's in military, financial, or humanitarian.
So this is not just a U.S. thing, but it should be for us.
But it's also the EU and everyone across the globe.
You should give the most.
EU should give the most.
They're not.
Why should we give the most?
Well, I think, as we all know with NATO, it's a percentage of GDP.
The reason that we have this issue is that we have the second highest percentage that we give.
And at the same time, America's got a bunch of shit that we're dealing with.
We have to make that a priority.
We're giving this guy stage time to come to us and say, I need more money.
What do you mean we're giving you more stage time to come and beg for more money?
How much more money do you need to give?
What else do you want us to send to you?
While our military gets weaker, while we have planes that are flying around with a pilot that's ejected, and we're getting a message saying, by the way, if you guys find any debris, just let us know because we can't find them.
We're the greatest military in the world.
You know what I'm saying?
Here's what we are.
Come to us.
There's a top secret plane in your backyard.
Don't touch it.
Call this number.
Unbelievable.
Right?
It's like, hey, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we're definitely showing the world how strong we are with what we got going on.
But hey, if you don't give me more money, where is your humanitarian?
We're going through such struggles and Ukraine is what we need more money.
Okay.
All right.
Little bit.
Yes.
A lot of money.
We've given you plenty.
How much more do we need to give?
I kind of like the fact they're trying to hold back a little bit on the amount of money they want to give.
And, you know, support's been given plenty for you to keep coming and then using like your, you know, all these other tactics.
I'm just not a fan of a guy, what he's doing.
I know we need to move on, but look, for me, it's not zero or 100.
Okay.
Like Candace Owens, I love that conversation that we had with Candace last Thursday.
It was amazing.
She's like, zero, nothing, zilch.
That's not happening.
F them.
Like, F them, whatsoever.
Then it's like, what's the slippery slope with that?
If China invades Taiwan, we do nothing.
You know, God forbid there's another world where we do nothing.
Are we non-interventionalists?
Are we completely libertarian?
That approach?
Or are we policing the world, involved with everybody, 850 bases around the world?
780.
Okay, so like, which one is it?
There needs to be some nuance here.
And at the end of the day, the American people, the American people, the American people, are going to make this decision.
Or do you want to be more involved?
Do you want to be less involved?
Let's go to the next stage.
We can't just have a blank check for this like Afghanistan.
Let's go to the next story.
Man arrested and suspected assassination attempt at RFK Jr. event.
Posing, if you can play this video, Rob, so people can't see it while I'm reading this, it'd be great.
RFK demanded Secret Service protection from President Biden after an armed gunman posing as security team members was arrested at an event just two miles from the site of his father's assassination in 1960.
It says, father's assassination in 1968.
The armed suspect carrying loaded pistols and a U.S. Marshal batch attempted to approach RFK during a Hispanic Heritage Month event in LA.
Quick-thinking security personnel from Gavin DeBecker and associates, GDBA, detained the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest.
RFK Jr., who is a long shot for the 2024 Democratic nomination, expressed frustration with the White House for denying his earlier request for Secret Service protection, saying, I'm the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection.
Vinny, what else you got on this story?
Well, first of all, Pat, what a weird, as a law enforcement, anybody out there that's law enforcement, Pat, I'm pretty sure you know this.
Why aren't you disarming the guy?
He has two guns under his armpits, okay?
They're not taking away his guns.
He's posing as a U.S. Marshal.
Is that him right there?
That's him right there, bro.
And what he was dressed as a U.S. Marshal as a U.S. Marshal.
And it boggles my mind.
Oh, shit.
Look at him.
He's got the whole badge.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, he just 100% he went for it.
And here's my thing.
How is this not a huge story or even bigger?
Because say what you want, Adam, this is an assassin.
Why is this guy trying to get close to him?
I had people from Cali that are like, how do you know he was just, you know, not trying to get close to, I go, protect what?
He has two guns.
You know what his motive is.
Okay.
That's one thing.
The second thing, not only was his uncle murdered, assassinated, and we're finding out what the CIA had involvement.
His father was two miles away.
And it's like, the guy's begging.
RFK's begging.
He goes, I'm still entertaining the hope that Joe Biden, they'll give me Secret Service protection.
And just a little fun fact, I'll give you guys.
Normally, the agency protects major candidates for president and vice president within 120 days of the election.
Ironically, these measures were put in place after they killed Robert Kennedy.
Obama was the first presidential candidate in history to receive Secret Service protection almost two years prior.
Two years he had had it.
The fact that they're denying Adam, to me, the average person that says, what, you just don't care?
And Pat, I sent this clip to Rob of JFK going into his motorcade right before he was assassinated.
There's two Secret Service guys, the main detail guys, Pat, they're in the back.
The agent in charge, Amory Roberts, waves off two of the most important bodyguards, and he's obviously confused about it.
Yeah, Rob, you could fast forward just a touch.
Like, you could tell, Pat, that this guy, Adam, was not in on the don't run next to the motorcade.
Look at this.
You put the volume up?
Look at this guy.
This guy.
Normal.
Look.
That is up until this instant.
He's supposed to run to protect the back.
Look.
He's like, what?
Four more times.
Yeah, let him play one more time.
He's like, wait a minute.
And now he's going to go and he gets assassinated.
Those two guys are important to block bullets coming from the back.
He stopped running.
Yeah, watch Adam.
And watch this.
Check this out.
Amory Roberts is coming.
No clue what's about that with his hand.
What he is doing is calling away the president's two most important bodyguards.
Look to bodyguards whose job was to protect the president's back by riding in a bumper of the women's.
Look at that.
He's like, wait, wait, what?
And then look at him.
And then he's going to his death.
So, and my point being, Pat, in this day and age, this is R.F. Kennedy.
Like, he has a history.
His family has been assassinated, and you're denying him secret service.
What was the 120 days thing that you said?
So the agency, the Secret Service, protects major candidates for president and vice president.
He's a major 120 days within election time.
But Obama got it two years prior because it's Obama.
They can't.
They got to protect himself.
To re-election.
No, To election.
First one.
One point.
First one, which is odd.
So in 2007, 2008, when he run, he started getting Secret Service in 2005, six.
Before 2006, so he was at, basically, he was anointed.
Exactly.
But my only thing is: if you're not protecting the guy after the history of his family with assassination and murder with government involvement, it's kind of shady business.
You're absolutely right.
And God forbid anything would happen to RFK Jr.
This would be blood would be on Biden administration's hands.
Okay, you think I'm just well, of course.
I mean, look, this is the only other candidate that is challenging Joe Biden.
And it's not even close.
Obviously, if Joe Biden makes it to the re-election, that he's the guy.
You know, he's not doing any debates.
RFK is, he's out there, but he's, I don't know, is he polling it 17%, 20%?
Biden's, it's like a Trump-Biden collision course.
We know that.
But, you know, one of the more, one of the more famous speeches that I remember from RFK recently was when he was talking about gun violence in America and basically framing it as far as an opioid, drug, mental health situation.
And he's like, look, I've lost two family members to gun violence.
And it makes you think, you're like, all right, who were the two family members?
Well, my dad, Bobby Kennedy, and my uncle, JFK.
So if there's anybody that understands gun violence and assassinations, it would be this guy.
JFK at the time of his death was 46.
RFK was 42.
JFK Jr. was 38.
He died in a plane crash.
RFK's 69.
So he's beaten the odds, and let's make sure that he's at least protected.
Yep.
Okay.
Next story.
Americans are least likely to care about kids having good manners.
Here's what they prioritize instead.
This is again a CNBC story.
In 2017, only 52% of adults in the U.S. considered good manners as an important quality for children.
A significant drop from 1990 when it was 76%.
Rob, can you pull up this article from 76% to 52%?
According to a report by King's College London, this makes the U.S. the least likely country among 24 surveyed to prioritize good manners.
In contrast, Egypt leads with 96% considering good manners crucial, followed by Nigeria, 89%.
Obedience is less valued in the U.S., with only 21% seeing it as important for kids.
Nigeria tops the list at 58%.
The report highlights that the importance of obedience has declined in a Western country since the 90s, with the U.S. dropping from 39 to 21%.
Besides good manners and obedience, the U.S. value hard work 68%, independence, 56%, imagination, 30%, religious faith, 32% amongst children.
However, tolerance and respect for others, 71%, are most commonly considered important, though the U.S. ranks 11th in this category.
Tom, what are your thoughts on this?
You can see it every day.
The BizDoc babe is a teacher, and we see it all the time.
We've entered an era where it seems to be more important that your kids are happy and satiated, right?
Keep them happy.
Oh, why isn't he happy?
And you see the stories of parents at the, you know, bribing a kid with ice cream to keep him from having the tantrum.
You've seen it on airplanes.
We've seen it in malls.
And over the last 20 years, this new generation, it's about being happy and satiated.
And it's because the parents are not worried about the manners and discipline.
They're worried about keeping their kid happy.
They're worried about satiating him.
There's a word for this.
It's called spoiled.
The discipline that comes with it, kids that have rails, it's a fact that they are content.
And there's a word for this: disciplined.
They are content and they're disciplined.
They know their rails and they have happy little lives from that side of it.
When parents don't care about their kids and you see the drop in what we think about good manners, they're not worried about the manners.
They're worried about just keeping the kid quiet and bribing them.
And they're spoiling kids.
They're not building good citizens.
And when you look at this list of things, it's exactly flipped from the 80s.
I wasn't allowed to do tantrums.
And my mom was not, you know, some horrible person.
I was not permitted to do that.
And by the way, if I threw a tantrum, somebody else's mom.
Oh, wait, I'll tell you something.
This is great.
So I am six years old.
I have now just started first grade and we're in St. Louis, Missouri, a little town called Creef Corps.
And I take like two of my little comic books and I put them in this bag and I'm walking down the street and I'm like nine houses from where I live.
This guy comes around the corner and I don't even remember the last name, but he rolls down the wizard and he says, Tommy, where are you going?
He says, I'm mad.
I'm running away.
He stops his car, gets out and stands up and says, go home.
Because he knew where I lived.
And he just yelled and pointed down the street.
He didn't spank me.
He didn't do anything like that, but he exerted parental authority.
You know what I did?
I turned around and walked back home.
And as I'm turning around, he says, I'm calling your mom.
She'll be ready when you're there.
And so he's going to his house to call my mom.
And so I didn't turn out terrible.
But the point is now people are worried about, oh, you know, you don't worry about manners.
You worry about, oh, does he want to be a boy?
You want to be a girl?
Oh, the little boy wants to be a girl.
Give me the dick saw.
Here we go.
You know, dick saw.
Yeah.
I don't know what the name for the medical tool is.
I just made that up.
I just think that's what they use in Missouri.
I think it says a lot about Tom that even at that age, he's running away and he's like, I'm bringing reading.
Tom's like, you know what?
The hell with the underwear and shit.
I'm bringing comic books.
I really know, brilliant.
I really wanted to have this conversation.
I really wanted to hit this topic because I think it's sort of indicative of where we're at in society.
As great as America is, of everything that we've done in our economy and the world and innovation and GDP and capitalism and free markets, you know, we are the envy of the world.
Nobody's trying to come to any other country other than America.
As the American country, we talk about immigration, which is a shit show these days.
But everyone wants to come to America.
But when you get to America, you realize there's something kind of going on here that ain't right these days.
Okay.
And a lot of it has sort of been influenced by this by sort of what's going on in social media for sure, which has been good and bad for some reasons.
You know, part of the one of the big things that I talk about on my show all the time is this Wall Street Journal we've talked about here is that the Americans pulling back from the values that once defined us.
So there's been, you know, patriotism is immensely on the decline.
Having children is immensely on the decline.
And raising children, obviously, that's a whole nother conversation.
Religion's on the decline.
Community involvement's on the decline.
But what's up is money and looking out for yourself and selfishness and taking selfies for that matter.
So what I love about America is personal responsibility and what we called rugged individualism.
But also, and I don't necessarily believe in the collectivism of socialism, but there is some sort of collectivism of, you know, it takes a village to raise a child.
And I think what we need to bring back in America are ass whoopings.
Because it's so easy for any kid to go online and just talk shit with zero accountability.
Did you see the latest interview that Tate did with the Aiden Ross kid and the kid that he brought on with him?
Did you see that?
That dork.
That freaking dork in a SpongeBob outfit.
He's 15 years old talking shit to Andrew Tate being like, I'll fucking kick your ass, bro.
And Tate, like a G, is like, oh, really, bro?
Is that a SpongeBob shirt you're wearing?
As he's literally hitting his inhaler to breathe.
He's like, yeah, I know how hard it is to breathe air these days.
But the reality is this.
Because of social media, you have these kids that blow up online that have never have to leave their house, face zero consequences, can talk shit online all day, as Drake says, trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers.
You act tough.
And this kid right here, can we punch it on this kid in the green shirt?
Look at this freaking dork just talking shit to Tate.
Look at this kid.
What an alpha.
And he's like, oh, yeah, I'll come over there and kick your ass.
Really, bro.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's just, I think that's for eyeballs.
So that'll be.
But that's my point, is that that kid is an influencer.
He's like, is that a, so a kid like that, so my point like that is a kid like that in the real world when we were growing up in the 80s, if he talked shit like that in public to an Andrew Tate, he wouldn't be walking.
Bring back ass whooping.
I'm saying bring back ass whoopings.
And just, and Pat, I think the reason, I know Adam's not, I know people are going to be like, oh, Adam's saying, beat your kids.
No, no, no.
As all of us did, I'm saying there was consequences to your actions.
Like, Pat, if our parents, don't touch this.
And you went, once you got that, you learned, it's almost like the Pavlov dog theory.
You knew not to do that.
It wasn't like I was bleeding or there was no fear.
So now those kids, once now they realize, oh, they're not going to, I could touch this and nothing's going to happen.
That's where you have kids now because the parents are disarmed.
The parents, they call the cops on their parents.
Now, now a kid goes from, I could touch this, I could stay, I could do what I want.
You know what?
In school, they're telling me I could be a girl.
I'm a girl.
And the parents like, okay, okay, there's no discipline.
And you're right, Adam.
I think we should have a national whoop your kids as day.
We're not going to let them know.
I want to obviously get Pat's opinion as a parent.
Let me just say one thing, disclaimer.
I don't have kids.
All my best friends have kids.
I hang out with them every weekend.
I'm around all these kids.
I was a teacher for two years.
I taught second grade.
I taught seventh grade.
Okay.
I was a camera.
I've been around kids.
And something is going on, especially because of social media and make America great again.
Make ass whoopings great again.
I love it.
Yeah, I think it's a standard issue.
And I think parents are scared of their kids.
And it makes no sense for me for parents to be scared of kids instead of kids being scared of parents.
It's extremely confusing to see something like that taking place.
But that makes sense that that has happened in America.
That's catastrophic for some people that have kids.
It's not a good sign here.
7,000 people arrive on Italian island of 6,000 as migrant crisis overwhelms Lempedusa.
Okay, this is a CNN story.
This is in Italy.
Lampedusa, an Italian island of fewer than 7,000 residents, is grappling with an overwhelming migrant influx with 7,000 arrivals in two days, leading Mayor Filippo Manino to state, now we have reached a point of no return where the role played by this small rock in the middle of the Mediterranean has been put into crisis by the dramatic nature of this phenomenon.
The UN refugee agency, Chiara Cardoletti, emphasized the gravity of the situation, describing it as critical and stressing the need to urgently relocate people off the island.
Authorities have already transferred around 5,000 individuals from Lampedusa to the Italian mainland in the past 28 hours.
The search and arrivals, many of whom are escaping political instability in Tunisia, are alarmed, have alarmed officials.
Tom.
Look, this is basically, you know what this is?
This is like the UN just run amok.
And by the way, they didn't say revolution in Tunisia.
They didn't say genocide in Tunisia.
They didn't say, you know, that there is a flood and now there's no housing and no working power plants in Tunisia.
No, it's political instability in Tunisia.
So, okay, so you know what?
Your place over there really sucks.
So we're just going to let you move Lockstock and Beryl over here.
We're going to take you to Italy.
And some Einstein thought it was a good idea just to drop them on an island where basically everybody gets to keep track of one immigrant.
You know, everybody, everybody, 7,000 of you, okay, buddy system, pair up with a refugee, and this is how we're going to do this.
This is horrible.
This is the same thing.
By the way, no one in Europe wants to learn from experience.
Do you see the issues that Germany is having right now when they had those boatloads of immigrants?
They came into Germany.
Remember two years ago?
It went on for four months.
They just kept bringing boatloads, boatloads.
And in the middle of those boatloads, they have found criminals that have found thriving criminal careers in Germany.
And they found a lot of people that wanted to make it to Germany and make a new life and find something and get away from something else.
I just think when the UN is, if you don't think there's one world government coming, you know, this is the UN here, you know, basically greenlighting.
And then the EU, which has tremendous power over the borders, which is the reason for Brexit, which is the reason UK says, leave me alone.
I'm going to do it my way, my rules.
This is horrible.
This is unchecked.
And they actually don't care.
I think they're actually trying to crush structure and head for the great reset.
Let me give you a little perspective here.
I get it.
People want to leave for a better life, safety, security, future of your children.
I get it.
We just talked about, you know, stop donating money to Ukraine and stop, you know, policing the world.
As an American, the last thing on my list is Lampediza, Italy, and the migrant crisis.
I don't give two shits.
Okay, because especially, and my Democratic friends out there, you might get a little triggered right now, especially with what's going on in the border right now in America, in Mexico, which is a shit show.
And when you have someone like Fareed Zakaria, who I is probably my favorite journalist out there, who I respect, basically, and he's a CNN guy, he's like, yeah, the Democrats have it all wrong.
This is a shit show.
If you see what's going on in New York and the sanctuary cities and Eric Adams talking about the decline in New York City, whatever is happening in the U.S. border right now is not good.
And you got to credit Donald Trump for bringing this up.
The problem that the media basically utilized was they called him a racist and Mexicans are rapists and all this kind of stuff.
But no, let's just look at the actual issue.
Our actual border here in the United States of America is a shit show.
And you could say the Democrats want to have it so they can open borders so they can have, you know, we remember that under the Biden administration, we came in here and that's how you got in America and that's how you're gonna be able to vote.
Okay, that's a long-term play and everything that's going on with the dreamers and the anchor babies and voting, future voting.
At the end of the day, my point is this: Italy, Lampedusa, EU, figure it the fuck out.
We have to figure our own shit out over here.
Watch this year.
During this entire time, newborn baby found dead on migrant boat off Lampedusa as Italy wrestles with surgeon arrivals.
Another kid died.
Right at the top, let me read the next part there at the top.
Keep going up.
The baby's death comes days after a five-month-old boy drowned when a boat carrying migrants from North Africa capsized.
I mean, there's horrible.
It's horrible.
Non-stop stories.
But then who's paying the price for it?
There's 6,000 people living on that island.
It's not even their island anymore, Pat.
There's more of the other people than there are of you.
It's not yours anymore.
What did they do?
What are they at fault?
They're simple people on an island trying to make their lives working and boom.
Because you're part of this, you have to take it.
And by the way, you heard what Erdogan said about EU.
No.
That he's considering leaving the EU, Erdogan?
Yes, Turkey.
Turkey president says, you know what?
We may be out of here.
So let me read this.
Erdogan says Turkey may be part ways with the EU.
He implied the country could end its membership bid and could end its membership bid.
President Erdogan said Saturday that Turkey may part ways with the European Union, implying that the country is thinking about ending its bid to join the 27 nation bloc.
The EU is making efforts to sever ties with Turkey.
We will evaluate the situation and if needed, we will part ways with the EU.
He was responding to a question about a recent report adopted by the European Parliament, which stated the accession process cannot resume under the current circumstances and calls on EU to explore a parallel and realistic framework for EU-Turkey relations.
Turkey applied to join the EU in 1999.
The accession talks began in 2005 and the accession negotiations were frozen in 2018 because of democratic backsliding according to the European Parliament.
How bad is this for EU?
Is EU sitting there saying we don't mind losing Turkey?
Or what do you see when you see this year, Tom?
No, this is the EU needs everybody right now because the EU is capitalist, Democrats.
Oh, yeah, yeah, they're socialists.
That's right.
So they need more people to tax.
They need more places to spread it around.
And they want a unified EU because that was their blue flag, you know, going back when they started it.
This was the plan to bring everybody together, knock down the borders, bring it all together.
And for someone to step out, especially, you know, Turkey is kind of like China and kind of like India.
There's a lot of low-cost labor there.
And let's go to the next story, which is Vinny's story.
Denver Homeless Camp features pop-up bar with rentable prostitution tents.
I don't know why this is your story, but you asked for it.
So let's go through it.
A makeshift open-air tavern has appeared in a downtown Denver homeless camp featuring lounge chairs, umbrellas, and astroturf, prompting complaints from city officials and residents to pop up Speakeasy, located on 23rd Rob.
If we can get a picture of a video of this, and Champa Street has raised concerns about alcohol sales and prostitution activities within the encampment.
Denver Police Patrol Division Chief Aaron Sanchez acknowledges report of an open bar and alcohol sales at the encampment, stating, We're hearing there was an open bar, sales of alcohol, things like that.
Megan Shea, an executive at the homeless eighth group stepped up Denver, expressed concerns about the makeshift bar serving alcohol to Anhosa, an encampment serving liquor to Anhosa Reserve.
Anyway, so Vinny, what is going on?
First of all, Pat, I came to this company, Value Tainment.
Your whole thing is entrepreneurship and capitalism.
If that right there doesn't scream it, these guys have an open bar outside.
Like, say what you want.
At least they're being like proactive and they're trying to make money.
People are complaining.
But Pat, did you see?
I mean, Rob, go to that photo.
That tent next to the couch.
That's the process.
Keep going.
Keep going.
That right there.
So that's the, a guy waits out there.
There's, there's prostitution.
It's like somebody's butt is somebody's butt.
It's actions happening in there.
It's like, yeah, you see that?
Somebody's in there down, Tom.
And me and Tom talked about this yesterday.
It's like, you can't make this up.
And it's happening.
They haven't taken it down.
People are just complaining, but that's how Denver is run.
But then think about it.
People are sleeping with prostitutes.
Then they're going to wind up getting the clap or syphilis.
And guess what?
We, the people, are going to have to pay for their mask.
Exactly.
They're weweis.
We have to pay for it.
And it's just, it's unbelievable that we've gotten to the point where the homeless people could set this up.
And again, all jokes aside, set this up.
And all people are doing, Tom, is just, there's complaints to the police and everything, but it's going down.
It's still happening.
I'm just glad with the homeless issue that's going on in LA and how messy, disgusting it is and of a problem.
I'm glad we can kind of make light of this situation here.
So when I went to Denver and still hung out at this homeless camp last week, I mean, you know, I'm all about save that money.
But wow, the savings.
Drinks were like 50 cents.
Prostitutes were a quarter.
I mean, it's like, look, I go down to Columbia from time to time.
Everything there is 75% off.
Hotels, food, drinks, partying, women, whatever it is.
It's 75% off.
At this homeless encampment in Denver, 99% off.
Came with a free shot of chlamydia, which was amazing.
That was awesome.
Kelly, you got to, come on, as a businessman, as an entrepreneur, can you imagine like the sales meetings?
Like, hey, listen, guys, you better upsell on the liquor.
And Sarah only turned three tricks yesterday.
You know, there's actually a bad precedent here.
Do you remember when this place called the Mustang Ranch made headlines?
And the Mustang Ranch is right outside of Las Vegas.
And it made headlines because they had failed to pay taxes.
Was it the Mustang Ranch?
It's a different name.
No, I know what you're talking about.
Help me out, Rob, here.
It was the Mustang Ranch.
It was that older white guy.
He would hang out with the colours.
No, no, no, refused to pay their taxes, and they were a brothel out there.
And the U.S. government operated the Mustang Ranch for about six months while they developed a tax plan that was a traditional hilarious.
And they had shirts that said, I got screwed by the government.
Oh, that's brilliant.
That's brilliant.
Go to the image of the guy.
Go to the image of the guy who ran this.
Look at him.
Oh, that's a gee.
Well, if you think about it, Pat, at the end of the day, people talk bad about it.
Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world.
Do you know that, right?
That's a fact.
Prostitution is.
It's the second oldest.
The pimp was the oldest.
No, no.
The pimp was the entrepreneur that saw what was going on.
He's like, we know.
We got to put a CBA collective bargaining agreement.
We got to get unionized.
Yeah, exactly.
That was actually the first one.
Well, Tom, am I speaking the fact?
Probably not the oldest farmers.
I mean, come on, but profession.
Come on, Wesley.
All right, let's talk about Trump DeSantis here.
Did you guys see Kevin McCarthy, what he said about DeSantis and how DeSantis responded to it?
Rob, if you got that video from Kevin McCarthy, if you can play that's right there.
Here's Kevin McCarthy.
He's asked about DeSantis and Trump.
This is his answer.
All of that, the policies that you mentioned of the Biden administration is one reason that Donald Trump is leading in the polls right now.
What's your take on this?
That as we see more indictments of Donald Trump, he seems to be gaining in terms of popularity with the public.
Will he be the nominee?
I think he will be the nominee.
And the thing is, President Trump is stronger today than he was in 2016 or 2020.
And there's a reason why.
They saw the policies of what he was able to do with America.
Putting America first, making our economy stronger.
We didn't have inflation.
We didn't have these battles around the world.
We didn't look weak around the world.
Well, it looks like Ron DeSantis is now trying to work with your colleagues who are pushing for a shutdown.
Yeah, but I don't think that would work anywhere.
A shutdown would only give strength to the Democrats.
It would give the power to Biden.
It wouldn't pay our troops.
It wouldn't pay our border agents.
More people would be coming across.
I actually want to achieve something.
And this is where President Trump is so smart, that he was successful in this.
You know, President Trump is beating Biden right now in the polls.
Yeah, we have the poll.
Let's show it.
He's stronger than he has ever been in this process.
And look, I serve with Ron DeSantis.
He's not at the same level as President Trump by any shape or form.
He would not have gotten elected without President Trump's endorsement.
And so I believe our best step forward, pass our appropriation system so we're stronger.
Take the Wilkinson matters.
Secure our holding.
What DeSantis responds to him.
You know, the clip where Ron has asked the question, Governor DeSantis, and here's his response to what McCarthy said.
And by the way, you would have to fast forward because for about the first 10 seconds, you don't hear anything.
The question is being asked.
So, okay, go back a little bit, go back a little bit, a little bit, a little bit.
Okay, there you go.
First place.
Well, look, I would say, I mean, I think that if you look at what's happened with D.C. Republicans, let's say you can raise the audio.
Look, Donald Trump, he supported Kevin McCarthy very strongly for Speaker.
I don't think he would have won the Speaker vote.
Donald Trump was instrumental in him earning that Speaker Shackle.
And they worked hand in glove, really, throughout his whole presidency.
They were on the same team on every major spending bill that came down the pipe.
And they ended up together adding $7.8 trillion to our national debt.
Never in a four-year-old.
They didn't hold back.
That much than what they did together.
And so he said that we're different.
We are different because in Florida, we run budget surpluses.
We've paid down almost 25% of our state's debt just since I've been governor.
All the debt, all the way up to all of Florida's history, we've knocked off almost 25% of it.
So it's a much different approach to where we're doing it right.
We have the number one economy.
And then he gets asked a question and he says, he says Trump's election chance is close to zero if he's convicted of a felony.
DeSantis said that.
Oh, really?
Close to zero.
By the way, you're seeing a fight, which is good.
Love it.
This should have started earlier, but you're seeing a fight on what's taking place, what he's saying, how is he tacking back.
Tom, do you think DeSantis stands a chance at all of going ahead of Trump?
Like, if you were to say the chances are no felony, nothing, does he stand a chance at all?
No, I do not.
And I'll tell you why.
Forget the felony, forget the arrests.
Head to head versus Donald Trump, the polls are speaking.
But that's what the problem is.
What the problem is, is he's run three campaigns.
The shadow campaign before he declared, and it only was partly executed, a book launch, and then a horrible initial campaign in which DeSantis didn't mesh with the voters, didn't have a media management strategy.
And now he had that house cleaning, and he's lost donors, and he's literally on campaign number three.
And so I look at it like this.
Dude, none of those have elevated you in the polls.
You've only lost in the polls progressively.
I don't, it does matter what's happening to Donald Trump in terms of the indictments.
However, head to head, even without those indictments, there is no chance for Ron DeSantis.
And I think that he's blown the three opportunities he had.
The shadow campaign, the first campaign, and the current campaign.
Pat, just a random observation.
You notice how calm, cool, collected DeSantis is when he's speaking there.
Smaller crowd.
I believe him.
I trust him and I feel him there.
When he's on the big stage, it's very robotic.
But you notice that?
Like, see how he's speaking?
Like, this is what made people fall in love with DeSantis was during COVID.
That's very good feedback.
He had this attitude, this nice, calm talking.
He's engaging.
When he's on the big stage, he looks like he's a robot.
If you guys didn't watch Newsome last night on CNN, if you didn't watch Newsome last night on CNN, watch it.
He did a clinic on how to handle tough questions.
She kept asking tough questions.
He was very good the way he handled that.
Governor Ron DeSantis needs to privately, when nobody is around, watch Newsom's way of handling issues the way he did yesterday.
He needs to watch that on repeat over and over and over and over again.
His handling needs to be learned.
This guy is, I think Newsom, you guys were saying earlier Clinton was great.
I think Newsom is more gifted than Clinton in this area.
Not policies.
His policies cost the state a lot of money.
His policies cause people to want to leave.
His policies got people to not trust him on the way he's taking care of families.
His policies almost got him to do a recall.
And you know what he said at the end?
He says, she says, so any chances of you going to be running for a president?
I says, me?
No, I don't have any.
I'm a governor.
I'm not going to be running for a president.
He says, heck, just a couple of years ago, they did a recall on me.
Trust me, I've been humbled very well the last two years.
People didn't want me here.
That's what he said.
And by the way, you know what?
I respect the fact that he said that.
So those are the things that he's doing where he knows how to win the people over.
This guy's got a lot of skill set.
Remember, I'm not talking policies.
I'm not talking right for the nation.
But this is a formidable candidate for the left to become a president one day.
Formidable.
You hit the nail on the head, Pat.
We have this conversation all the time where there's two major indicators of who people are voting for, whether it's policy or personality.
I would argue that the Republicans are way better at policy.
There's policy wonks and guys like DeSantis and whether Nikki Haley, they lack what Candace Owens called the it factor.
Swag, pizzazz, personality, the riz, the whole, the sauce.
You know, guys like Obama have it.
Let's put Biden aside.
He was elected because he just wasn't Donald Trump, period.
But Gavin Newsom has it.
His policies have led to a vacancy of California.
U-Haul prices are costing arm and leg to get the hell out of California and cost next to nothing to go to California.
But he's a skilled politician.
And don't forget, Gavin Newsom with his it factor is 10 years older than DeSantis.
People forget DeSantis is 44, 45 years old.
He just turned 45.
He's still a young dude.
You know, he's still got time.
But look, he's going against something that we have never seen before with Donald Trump.
We talk about you need to duplicate yourself.
You can't duplicate a guy like Donald Trump.
Nope.
Go make a billion dollars in New York and real estate.
Have a number one show on TV for a decade.
Have swag.
Be good with the ladies.
Open up casinos.
Bankruptcy.
Yep, that's right.
I know how to use the law.
Democrat, Republican.
Go try to do that, Ron DeSantis.
So as much as Ron DeSantis has done a good job during COVID for two years, Trump's been doing it for 40 years.
I got to tell you, though, the criticism Ron DeSantis, President Trump got, Rob, can you pull up the clip about when Megan Kelly asked him the question about, can men be men?
Can men be women?
While you're doing that, I'll read this clip about China and then we'll come back to you if you can find that clip about on Twitter.
So then there were two.
The disappearance of second Chinese minister sparked speculation.
Chinese defense minister Li Shang Fu, who recently warned of a new period of instability, has mysteriously disappeared from public view, mirroring the earlier unexplained disappearance of former foreign minister King Gang in June.
This development has raised questions about the stability of President Xi, Xi Jinping, cabinet, particularly as both Li and Kin were personally chosen by Xi, making it, this is like a maze, guys.
You got to track all these names, making it challenging for him to evade responsibility for the perceived failures.
Li Vanishing Act follows allegations of corruption and U.S. sanctions against him in 2018 for transactions with individuals linked to Russia's defense and intelligence sectors.
U.S. officials believe that corruption is endemic in the People's Liberation Army, PLA, undermining Xi's efforts to modernize the military.
Tom.
I think you look at this the same way that we watch Russia.
You know, you almost need a decoder ring with Russia.
You say, what did Putin say?
Who was standing with him?
You know, those pictures?
Who's not standing with him?
Where was he?
What were the exact words he used?
The same thing is going on in China.
China is in the midst of a real estate crash.
It's huge.
China is in the middle of an economic correction, has her own issues on interest rates.
And Mexico, one week ago, we now get a greater percent of our imports from Mexico than we do China.
It's all shifting.
So they've got this huge economic shift, and they've got this thing going on the world stage, and they desperately want to go take Taiwan.
And meanwhile, they have their own form of shadow government.
They've got the Communist Party that wants to kind of pull the strings and do things.
And now Xi has had two guys, both of whom had corruption issues, that have been pulled out.
Because remember, it's all face in that administration.
It's all face.
And once it looks like you've tripped or something's wrong and you no longer say face, you know, this is what happens.
When you see people disappearing, it's a sign that that area of government needs a correction.
And what you're seeing is they're making the correction by basically replacing these guys in midstream, but they don't do it as nearly as publicly or as eloquently as it happens in the West.
By the way, whatever happened to Jack Ma?
Actually, what happened to Jack Ma?
Remember, he was discovered to have been living in, I believe it was, Rob, you can look this up.
I believe he lived in Tokyo for two and a half years and made zero public statements about the CCP.
You got to understand what happened with Jack Ma.
We covered that when we were back in Dallas in 2020 and the disappearance of Jack Ma, and I did a whole segment on that for my show at the time.
He went to a re-education camp.
That's what happened.
We know that.
What happened to him?
Meaning he's just laying low, not talking.
Okay.
And so that's the real stamp that they want to put Jordan Peterson through, that they wanted to do Toronto for different reasons.
He needs to be educated on how to talk to people, et cetera, et cetera.
Okay.
Well, the bottom line is in these countries, you just disappear.
And whether it's for a couple of months, a couple of years, or the rest of your life, you know, shout out to Vladimir Putin.
That's what happens in these authoritarian regimes.
Thank God that's not what's happening in America.
At the very least, they'll just character assassinate you.
That's what they do here.
We're not there yet.
Boy, this wouldn't be a bad thing if we had a strong president, would it?
No.
No, not at all.
No, if we did, it would be a different situation.
By the way, play that clip with Megan Kelly and Trump.
Megan Kelly asked president this question.
Here's Trump's answer that's got a lot of people on the right upset.
Can a man become a woman?
Come on.
In my opinion, you have a man, you have a woman.
I think part of it is birth.
Can the man give birth?
No, no, although they'll come up with some answers.
Still no answer.
And Pat, everybody's always like, Vinny, you're such a Trump.
Guess what?
I don't like that answer.
Say what you got.
Why is that?
Because he's on the fence.
He doesn't want to piss off that certain group for the voting.
And it's like, you should, right then and there, I think that should have been a moment where he goes, men are men and women are women.
That's it.
And that move on.
Kind of going like, because obviously he wants to make everybody happy.
He's running for president.
That answer I don't like.
I don't like that.
He got to step up at him and say, no, men are men and women are women.
No, men.
I fully disagree with you.
I'll tell you why.
Why?
If there's anybody that's not worried about making everybody happy, it's Donald Trump.
He don't give a shit.
Everything he talks about is these, you know, fascist, Democrat, left.
He don't give two shits about the outside of the aisle.
Right now, he's running in a primary and running away with it.
I agree with you that he should just be like, yeah, I don't play this game.
What the hell are we talking about?
There should have been no um.
Should have been no pause.
So I agree with you that he should have doubled down on this.
And whether it's Dylan Mulvaney or Bud Light or whatever, but like unacceptable, because that's what his base wants.
So I'm just saying he's not trying to, what I disagree with you, he's not trying to appease everybody.
He should be trying to appease his base.
The question before that in the interview, I didn't realize that was two weeks ago, but I watched it last night, was about Caitlin Jenner.
And, you know, he's like, the first time we ran, he goes, this wasn't even an issue in 2016.
Yeah, Caitlin Jenner, she wants to use the female bathroom.
I don't really give a shit, whatever.
He's like, I knew Bruce when he was a man.
Beautiful, beautiful man, athlete.
Great guy.
You know, he was like, as Trump does.
Bruce said he had full surgeries.
Exactly.
So he's not trans, not cross-dressing.
Bruce said, I've had full quote, the ship has sailed.
My surgery.
I'm complete.
The ship.
Shout out to Trump.
That was the quote.
That's what Caitlin said to the day.
Dr. Jenner said, shout out to your dick sell.
Shout out to your dick sail, Tom.
So the point is this.
I think Trump, it's actually like put yourself in Trump's position.
Forget about talking points.
Forget about what your base wants to hear.
What the hell are we even like?
Is it a man, a woman?
Like, this is something he's so not used to.
But actually, you know, if you see him on the campaign trail at his rallies, he's, you know, men are men, women are women.
He's doing this.
I don't know if it was just a glitch, a pause.
He was just kind of, because he's usually very antagonistic.
By the way, shout out to Trump going on Megan Kelly, going on MSNBC, taking the tough questions.
Like you see an end with Keiton Collins.
Like one thing you have to respect about Trump, whether you like him or don't like him, the dude shows up.
There's no chance that Joe Biden is sitting down there with Megan Kelly for an hour fielding tough questions.
Joe Biden won't do that for five minutes.
It's one of those things where, you know, Trump, I understand why people don't like him and I understand why people like him.
Like it's a double, like two things can be true.
Let's see what Tom has to say.
Go for it.
I think he should have been definitive.
He's always been definitive and that's what his base wants.
Be definitive.
Why would it have been so difficult for him to say, Megan, why are we talking about this?
Children are born male or female.
Later in life, they want to have sex change.
We have a controversy.
People want to cross-dress and call themselves trans.
And it says, if you have a sex change surgery like Caitlin Jenner did, okay, then maybe you're part of the way there.
You still can't give birth.
But I don't know why we're having this conversation.
What is this question?
Tom, I've heard you do a better Trump before.
That's all he had to say.
And by the way, we know what the base would say.
Thank you.
Yeah.
And it doesn't give a lot to the other side.
It's like, boom.
Pat, how would you have responded to that basic question?
What is a woman?
I mean, it's not even a question for me.
I don't even know why we're having that conversation.
For me, it would have been a different answer.
But Trump is Trump.
Trump's going to give whatever answer he wants to give.
And there is always strategy in his mind.
Could have had a conversation with his camp 30 minutes prior to that, that maybe one of his advisors told him something that in his mind he's trying to put his next move together on the way he's going to answer or on the way he's going to have a rebuttal to this.
He's a strategist.
His brain is always going on what he's going to be doing.
And at the same time, the audience right now, like DeSantis, if DeSantis needed a victory in the last how long?
Four months, three months?
He just had a victory this week.
This has so far been a good week for DeSantis.
His response to Kevin McCarthy and Trump, what he just said to Megan Kelly last week.
So in the last 10 days, this has been a good week for let's see if that changes the polls at all.
It won't do anything for him.
And the debate is next week, I want to say, in California.
In California.
By the way, Megan Kelly, she is actually a full-on real journalist.
Okay.
She was asking tough questions.
She was respectful.
We all know what happened in 2016 when she's like, you've called women dogs, pigs, whatever.
And he's like, only Rosie O'Donnell.
They addressed it.
It was very interesting.
But she is classy and a first-class journalist.
She was a lawyer with Jones Dale.
Because I think that was the interview, Pat?
Was this the interview where she asked about the abortion and the time and the date or 15 weeks or something like that?
Yes.
And he still was like, well, I don't know.
He's like you said, Pat.
I would get people from both sides and sit then and we would come down with a plan.
Exactly.
That's for everybody.
Because what he's doing, he saw that the abortion, what the Supreme Court did right before the midterms, didn't sit well with women in America.
So he's adjusting based on the case study he saw with midterms.
Midterms revealed a lot to him of where America's at today, and he wants to win.
So for him, he's looking at strategies on how to win the election.
Googlers told to avoid using words like share and bundle.
According to Bloomberg, working at Google, you are told to not use these words.
You know, apparently, these are curse words if you work at Google.
So let me get into the bottom of this with you.
In a Washington, D.C. trial alphabet, and Google is accused of maintaining an illegal monopoly in online search.
Government lawyers claim that Google encouraged employees to avoid creating lasting records of potential misconduct, such as using Google chat with the history of off-feature, which automatically deletes messages after 24 hours.
Google Chief Economist, Hal Varian's memo from 2003 memo encouraged, discouraged using phrases like cutting off their air supply.
In 2009, Varian advised using query share instead of market share.
Query share instead of market share.
Google employees were further instructed to avoid specific terms and metaphors related to antitrust issues such as scale, network effect, leverage, lock up, lock-in, bundle, and metaphors involved wars, sports, winning or losing.
Tom, what's going on here with Google?
Google saw this coming a long time ago because when they were younger, and then they read the case study on the Microsoft antitrust suit, where Microsoft used a lot of those words and more, where they leveraged PC makers who were pre-installing Windows, and then they were charging extra fees for it and blocking any other operating system.
That's what landed Microsoft at the hands of the Federal Trade Commission and the massive Microsoft antitrust lawsuit.
Google knows history, and what they've been attempting to do is set it up so that they limit the email and the, they're trying to limit the breadcrumbs as much as they possibly can.
So they were attempting to have their people not say certain things.
So, when the federal government comes in like they did this week with the official big, this is a multi-year extravaganza here.
This will take five years at least to play out, folks.
They want the federal government to have very little to go with when they start going in and looking at what the email was.
All your employees know.
They start playing defense.
That's right where I was going.
They started playing defense years ago because they knew exactly what's going on with the Microsoft suit in years gone by.
Yeah.
By the way, in any business, you got to play offense, you got to play defense.
Offense is building the company, hiring workers.
Defense is insurance.
We're in the insurance industry.
We get it.
This is for the assumption that they're going to be dealing with an antitrust lawsuit.
If they're not dealing with it already, whether they're in a monopoly or not, did we establish that it's 50% of the market as a monopoly?
50%.
Okay.
So obviously, Google is a bohemoth.
And they're just trying to play a little defense right now.
And they're trying not to use certain words that might trigger.
What year was this?
2011?
It's saying 2011.
He was prepping the employees.
Exactly.
They saw this lightning.
Exactly.
They knew it was way in advance.
But why?
Because their offense was like the greatest show on turf, like the St. Louis Rams in 1999.
Like they're just, they're killing it.
They're going gangbusters.
Make it look closer.
Right.
So it's like, listen, let's, you know, let's not run up the score too much.
Let's play some defense.
Cover the spread.
Don't double it.
Exactly.
So listen, we've all seen like the Mark Zuckerberg's on trial and the CEO of Google for antitrust and monopoly, and they're just trying to play a little defense in this situation.
So are you guys following this story with Deion Sanders and his glasses?
Have you followed how much he's sold?
So check this out.
So a coach from the other side says, I don't like it when a person has glasses on and hat on.
Says, I was taught when you talk to your parents, you take off your glasses and you take off your hat when you're talking to somebody.
What does Deion do?
He doubles down.
Deion buys these glasses for every single one of his athletes.
Okay, have you followed this?
No, I haven't.
He gives one to The Rock.
He gives one to everybody.
These glasses, he ends up getting some kind of, I don't know if it's equity or some kind of sponsorship with them.
They end up selling $1.2 million of these glasses, then $4.5 million of these glasses.
Okay, the glasses that he's been wearing.
And Rob, I want to send you this article.
If you type in Deion Sanders, $4.5 million, that's the article you want to look at.
Just type in Deion Sanders, $4.5 million.
Prime 21.
Right there.
You can pull that one up and let's see what that one says.
That's slightly different than the one I have.
Deion Sanders sunglasses brand amasses $4.5 million in sales following a verbal back and forth with Jay Norville in week three.
If you want to go a little lower so we can give the details.
They're tired of all that stuff.
Okay, go a little so I can, they're tired of all that stuff.
They really are tired of it.
And I sat down with ESPN today and I don't care if they hear it in Boulder.
I told them I took off my, I took my hat off and I took my glasses off and I said, when I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat and glasses off.
Again, the same thing.
That's what my mother taught me.
Right.
And what does Deion do?
Bone.
Go up a little bit.
I think there's a tweet above it, Robbie skipped right there.
The week CSU coach said, take his glasses off.
Deion Sanders has his own line of glasses with blenders and now has given a pair of every Colorado players.
They don't realize they just help me with business.
That's what I'm saying.
Look at that, Rob.
That is so funny.
He gave him, play that clip because it just stopped, Rob.
Yeah.
Let's give him something.
You guys don't get me.
Give him something.
It's a money.
I'm going to get you to eat.
Boxes up.
You can go to, look at this.
Then he gives one to Rock.
Rock's wearing one.
Rob, if you can pause it.
Then he gives one to The Rock, and you can go back to the story, Rob.
Then he gives one to The Rock.
Rocks wearing one.
At their last game, Rock shows up.
Who else shows up?
Everybody shows up.
Bro, it was the biggest thing on earth.
Did you actually see the game?
Yeah, of course I saw it.
The game was like they were down something by 15 points or something.
They came back, fourth quarter, end up winning it.
Insane game.
Overtime.
In overtime, a hit that was made that was an uncalled for hit, late hit.
There's a lot of controversy, but guess what?
They're 3-0.
Yeah.
Look at The Rock's worn those glasses.
Look at that.
Well, for the younger generation out there, Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson, are arguably the greatest athletes of all time.
I think so.
You know who Deion said is the greatest athlete of all time?
Ahead of Bo Jackson?
Have you heard him say?
No.
His cousin.
Right.
Who was a crack hit?
You ever heard him tell the story?
There's always that one crackhead that could have made it.
He says, my cousin, who was a crack hit, was the greatest athlete of all time.
What crack got a hold of him?
I'm telling you.
He says Dennis Bo Jackson.
That's Deion Sanders.
That's what he said.
But Deion Sanders, for the younger generation, they probably, oh, he was a former NFL player.
Like, nobody.
Like, you think about Tyreek Hill, who's in the NFL these days.
I know that our audience doesn't love sports.
This is a pop culture conversation.
Whoever you think is the best player in the NFL, most athletic, Deion ran circles around that dude.
He played cornerback, locked down, like island, shut down, returns.
He would do the thing at like baseball.
He played baseball, Atlanta.
He was nasty.
He's crazy.
And now he's raising a new generation.
He's got two kids on the team.
The quarterback, who's a Heisman frontrunner, showed Durham Sanders is a beast.
He didn't just put a son on the team.
He's probably top three quarterbacks in college football right now.
And what you don't know is he has another son.
He has three sons.
One is Deion Sanders Jr., who's not playing.
He's got two other sons.
One is playing his old position, cornerback, same number, 21.
First play of the game, first quarter, pick six to the house.
Boom.
Like the beginning of the game.
He's actually a good father.
He's a good man.
He's a brilliant marketer.
And he's turning out to be an amazing coach.
He went to, before Colorado, he went to Jackson State and dominated there.
He took this opportunity.
People forget when I was, I mean, a huge Miami Hurricanes fan.
There it is right there.
His son just beginning of the game.
First score, bang, pick six.
Pick six.
Colorado was a powerhouse of football.
Yeah, Rashad Salam, Cordell Stewart, all these guys were good.
Rob, stop the video.
Just change it.
They were competing against national championship against University of Miami, which The Rock was at the game.
But you have people like Dwayne Wade being like, dude, I've never watched a football game in my car on my phone, but that's what prime time Deion is doing.
And he's capitaling this.
But as much as this is a feel-good story, they're number, I think, 16 in the country right now.
Number 19.
I apologize.
They traveled to Oregon this Saturday.
Oregon is the top 10.
Oregon is favored by 21 points.
He better sell some sunglasses this week because they might be 3-1 by the time this week is.
This is totally random, though.
He had like his foot amputated, Deion, didn't he?
Not foot, toe.
I don't know, Rob.
Can you check if he got that?
Does that correct diabetes?
Is it diabetes, bro?
That's insane.
Like, Deion Sanders is.
Remember when we did the toes amputated, not legs.
Two toes.
Remember when we did the Antonio Brown interview?
Yeah.
Obviously, people are, dude, that was the craziest interview of all time.
The first hour was a shit show.
The second hour was actually a pleasant conversation, as weird as it was.
But one of the conversations that turned the tenure and tone of that conversation was when I asked him, Did you see what Deion said about you to Antonio Brown?
And he's like, well, what'd he say?
Because everyone respects the hell out of Deion.
He goes, oh, no, if you make it to the Hall of Fame, he'll show up for you.
He doesn't even go back, but he'll go for you.
He's like, oh, really?
Like, Deion said that kind of a thing?
Like, he has a respect of everyone, football players, fans.
Deion had a legendary song.
Must be the money.
Must be the money.
Remember this one?
No.
Every time I tell him to stop.
I mean, this guy, by the way, the right there with the pink.
Don't play it.
Don't play it, Rob.
He was the pink outfit.
He had on that back in the days.
Yeah, but Deion, the other day I made a list because people were saying the greatest athletes of all time.
And everyone's, oh, you're the greatest athletes of all time.
Jim Storm.
I'm like, no, there's a difference between the greatest winner and the greatest athlete.
Yes.
Those are two different human beings.
You're talking about the greatest winner.
Tom Brady's not beating Deion in a race.
Exactly.
To me, the greatest athlete is this guy.
I had him as my number one.
Ahead of Bo Jackson.
Where was Boing your top?
LeBron was number two, Bo was three.
Wow.
I believe LeBron was because LeBron just makes no sense.
For him to run as fast as he does, jump as high as he does, and be as big as he is and have the physique as he has.
It just makes no sense.
And Bo Jackson, Pat, you know, this is a good one.
He's not in my top five greatest winners, obviously.
Obviously.
He's in the top five greatest athleticism when he hit the scene and he was running up on the left field wall and people didn't know.
He threw somebody out from the warning track to home.
And people said, the announcers just like, why can't they like, I've never seen anything like that in my life.
No.
He was ridiculous.
But yeah, prime time was because we would watch this.
Dude, I was old enough to watch.
What's the fastest you ran the 40 in, Tom?
What's the fastest you ran the 40 in?
I don't think I ever measured.
I can tell you.
I can tell you my two mile, you know, but what was your two mile?
My two mile, I got into the 11s.
Seriously, that's very good.
My two miles ridiculous.
I don't, my 40, I never really time my 40, but my two mile was insane in the military.
Like you, it was like stats.
Pat, I was sprint my energy.
I would just sprint the whole thing.
What was yours, Pat?
My two mile?
No, you're 40.
My 40, I was a 4'6, 4'7, 40.
I was a fast guy.
Yeah, you had speed.
I had speed.
What was yours?
You're a 4'4-4-5?
No, well, I played college football, but I ran a 4-5-9.
If I could have got it down to 4-3, lower, yeah, which was not possible.
But 4-2.
4-3 is insane.
You go 4-3.
This guy, 4-2-7, but it's.
Well, Adam saw my 40 in Vegas and I tore my 40th birthday.
Rob, pull up the tweet I just gave you.
Pull up the tweet I just gave you.
This is when you know we do stories like this at the end of the podcast story because this is officially for us folks.
For those of you that could care less about sports, we kind of like sports.
This is who I had as my top five athletes.
Zoom in a little bit.
Let me see this.
Because go to the bottom, go to the bottom.
First show, the other guy on the bottom.
Bruski had this.
He had Serena Williams at five.
This is athletes.
Athletes.
They should change it to winners.
He had Serena, then Brady, then Ruth, then Ali, then Jordan.
Goodbye.
Those are winners.
Go to the top.
That's like icons.
I had Deion Sanders, then LeBron, then Bo Jackson, then Jordan.
Then I had Jim Brown and Will Chamberlain.
Will Chamberlain was a machine when you read about the guy.
And Jim Brown was obviously insane.
The greatest dominators, MJ and Brady at one, then I have Messi Ali Woods Ruth is who I have.
I like Pat.
He's just making up.
The two guys will be at the first thing.
Because MJ and Brady, to me, it's there to go.
If you say he's the Brady of this or he's the MJ of this.
Yes.
But Pat, you are right.
There's a difference between a pure athlete versus a winner versus an icon.
Night and day.
Right?
Yeah, because a winner could have like Brady.
He's a great quarterback, but the whole system around him, from the coach to the wide receivers to the line to everybody.
Look, well, let's get real here.
Tom Brady is not a top 1,000 athlete of all time.
Pure athlete.
Winner, heart of a champion, icon, Mount Rushmore.
And I think that's what you're basically solving for: is Deion Samuel.
By the way, on Tiger Woods, if he doesn't hit a fire hydrant and take six years off of his career, he would have shattered, not just beaten, shattered Nicholas's records.
Absolutely.
That's why you got to be careful who you marry, bro.
Well, and also you decide that maybe you're going to go be, remember you wanted to be a Navy SEAL.
You're reading the book, The Athlete.
Now you've got to decide who you marry.
You know, when you do and you're not done, take your time.
You know what I'm saying?
But if you're like, still, you're marrying and you want to have 16 folks from the modern day Olean fans back in the days, you know, adults.
It's a different game that you play.
You know what would be interesting here?
Can we pull that list back up?
I just want to, I'm going somewhere here.
I want to know how many of those guys, the greatest of all times, the winners, the athletes, the icons, how many were married, not married, divorced, had situations going.
Going on on the low.
I don't know.
LeBron at the top of the list, he's married to his high school sweetheart.
Respect to him.
Michael Jordan remarried actually a Miami girl that I know.
But you talk about, I mean, Messi's married, but you talk about Tiger Woods, Takataka Woods, y'all.
Homeboy was playing out there.
So was Babe Ruth.
Muhammad Ali wasn't exactly.
Tiger was number one until they got mad at him for the hookers and the strippers.
Then once that got everything went down, poor guy, dude.
They should have just left, let him hook up with the strippers and he would have stayed number one.
Just let him.
Just let him.
I think his wife, who became a hundred million dollar woman, probably has something to say about that.
She's amazing.
She was a goddamn au pair, and now she's worth $100 million.
God bless her soul.
How many random dudes just are worth $100 million because they got wifed up by some chick?
Zero.
And Pat, I don't know if you guys know this or not.
I'm the dude playing the dude.
Playing the dude.
But think about.
What do you mean, you people?
This is random because I don't know why we thought of it because Tiger, do you guys remember what happened, though?
Why?
The whole fight happened and initiated everything.
Tiger's home drinking.
He's home with his wife.
The stripper called the house.
Okay.
So he runs out.
He gets on a house phone's worth it.
This is when the house.
No, I'm being dead serious.
And he's in that truck.
She's beating the car with the hat with that golf club.
And I thought, Pat, how funny it would have been if Tiger Woods made the U-turn into the fire hydrant.
And he hits the fire hydrant.
But think about it.
His wife is hitting it with the golf club.
This is Tiger Woods, the best golfer of all time.
You think because he was drunk, as she's hitting it, he's like, baby, wait a minute.
You're not, babe.
I'm sorry, but you're a reflection of neighbors are watching it.
That's my three hours.
By the way, he wasn't seen for two weeks.
And people that are commentators who know things in golf says he got hit.
He got hit.
Of course.
That's the reason that no one saw him for two weeks.
He said he got hit.
But neighbors said her follow-through shot was horrible.
And it looked like crust.
She ended up in the beach.
Gang.
Okay.
All right.
So here we go.
This is fun.
Tomorrow, 9 a.m., Tom Brady's interview premieres on Race for Impact.
Thursday, we have a wild discussion here on the podcast.
Myself with four folks that'll be here.
It'll be interesting.
Tune in.
And we will be doing many more of those because I feel eventually I want to have the biggest representative of the Muslim community with the biggest representative of the Jewish community and the biggest representative of the Christian community for us to do podcasts together.
That'd be sick.
Maybe even a live discussion together and see what we can discuss and unify.
See what there is in common and what differences we have.
