I'd be running, homie, look what I become.
I'm the one.
Yeah.
Okay, so episode number 38338.
We got home team here.
We got a lot of things to cover.
One of the things I watched last night is this weird movie called Leave the World Behind.
It's a story.
I'll read you the plot.
The stories about America being hit by a cyber attack and other things taking place that shuts down the power grid in the U.S. Planes are crashing.
Teslas are running into each other.
It's a dark movie with a few lines.
And by the way, guess who is the executive producer of this movie?
It's a couple.
You may recognize these guys.
Michelle and Barack Obama.
Weird.
Very weird.
Weird.
Very weird.
We'll talk about that because it reminds me of a movie that went viral during COVID that everybody was talking about.
Weird.
Contagion.
That's weird.
That's my fourth producer.
Maybe it's something that's coming up here soon.
Shout out to DeVito, by the way.
DeVito's agent is the best.
The Giants.
Have you seen his agent or no?
He's a freaking person.
But have you met his agent?
Have you seen his agent?
Yeah, with Natalia.
Yeah, we'll talk about that maybe in a minute.
Nikki Haley leads Biden by 17 and Trump by four.
And that's a Wall Street Journal poll.
A bunch of guys are endorsing her.
Zelensky is coming back here to beg for some more money.
I'm sorry, raise some more money.
He's coming back.
We'll talk about that.
Trump's got a big lead in Michigan.
Trump tops the Santists by 32 points.
Boys are struggling.
It can take coaches, tutors, and thousands a month to fix that.
Parents are hiring coaches to teach their boys what it is to be a boy.
Can you imagine what a jacked up place this is where boys forgot what it is to be a boy?
I got into a bit of a debate at Dylan's game with this father that just pulls up to me, starts talking to me about Destiny and Tate.
I'm like, dude, what is the matter with you?
We had the best debate for 10 minutes, and I'm talking to a guy about a movie to my right.
He's like, what the hell is going on here?
It's totally fine.
You're trying to keep up, Pat.
McDermott, coach, gives a speech that is the weirdest speech you will ever hear a football coach give to his players in a locker room, saying, imagine how united the 9-11 teamwork that did the attack on World Trade Center.
We have to have that level of teamwork.
Can you imagine that as a motivational speech?
By the way, just saying it makes me feel uncomfortable.
I can't believe he said that.
He said that.
And then we'll talk about Barack Obama's movie.
We'll talk about a couple things here.
They're telling us we got to mask up again if you haven't yet.
By the way, one of the things that was very impressive out of all the stories.
What?
You know you've made it when you say things like, you know, I don't need church because my personal ethics are enough.
And your name is Fauci.
Oh, yeah, the doctor.
Who, by the way, Pat, he even brags.
He's like, yeah, I have security 24-7 because everybody knows who I am and what I've done.
Damn straight better.
China's cyber army is invading U.S. services.
We'll talk about that.
New Hampshire man charged with threatening to kill Vivek Ramaswani, Ramaswamy.
We did an X Space.
Everybody was texting me saying, Pat, you got to get on the calling for you with Elon Musk letting Alex Jones back on.
I was there.
I said a few words.
Maybe we'll talk about that.
We should.
Trump says he'll be a dictator day one.
Biden administration wants to forgive nearly $5 billion in additional student loan debt.
And you got to see this one line, this one quote time will share with you guys.
Harvard alumni outraged that the president was accused of plagiarizing American math scores hits an all-time low on international level exams.
And then a couple other things here.
Today's parents have to pay $3.4 million to fund the American Dream for themselves and their kids.
And maybe we'll get into the math for buying a home no longer works.
Realtors, you may want to skip that part.
Having said that, before we get into these stories, Rob, today's sponsor, American Hartford Gold, go ahead and play it.
So look, I've been in the financial industry since 9-11, the day before 9-11, and I've owned stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, crypto, gold, you name it, I've owned it.

For those that have been buying gold, gold's been going up.
You just reached an all-time high.
I think $2,200, I want to say.
Bitcoin's at what now?
$45,000.
Between $42,000 to $46.
So, anyways, that's our sponsor, American Heartford.
Took a dump yesterday to $41 after Elizabeth Warren.
Let's get right into it.
Let's get right into it.
You took a dump.
What did you say?
What Tom?
Bitcoin.
We're running late.
Bitcoin.
Bitcoin took a dump.
You took a dump on your body.
I'm sharing stuff like that on a live podcast.
When it's off, I get it.
But Tom, literally too much.
Viveka caught up on the street.
I love getting to the story.
That's right.
So Vivekaze.
I love the fact that the model is.
Anyways, it's a Sunday, 2, 3 o'clock.
They decide to hold this Twitter space.
Mario Nafal, maybe I'm not saying the name right.
He does a phenomenal job with this.
And he ends up having Musk, Tate, Alex Jones, Vivek, myself, Gates, a bunch of people.
I'm missing names.
A bunch of people.
Just think about it.
Murderers Road.
A bunch of people.
Oh, my God.
And it was a conversation about Alex Jones being back on.
It was great.
And they were having a discussion.
Elon started off by talking about Sandy Hook.
And Vivek Ramasmani was caught on a hot mic used in a bathroom.
And the main guy hosting it says, Vivek, that's you.
He says, oh, I'm sorry, guys.
And then he's going to be a little bit more.
Yeah, the best tweet, I think, is by Matt Walsh, who says, now we understand what they mean by a stream.
Twitter stream.
I thought that was very funny.
But it was great.
You know, the whole good news is the right people are finding each other.
Fighters are finding each other.
And future looks bright.
It's exciting to see what's going to be taking place.
But this is exciting to see Alex Jones coming back.
We'll get into that story later.
I want to get into the Barack Obama story.
Yes.
Barack Obama gave major feedback on the Leave the World Behind script.
I watched this movie last night.
I finished it at 12.30.
And very weird movie.
A dark movie.
Okay.
Barack Obama, the former U.S. president, has expanded his post-presidential activities by offering input on Sam Ishmael's script for Leave the World Behind, a Netflix movie.
Ismail sought Barack Obama's perspective to enhance the script's realism.
And by the way, very weird that the fact that they say this, because you'll hear some of the stuff that's said in this movie, it's my recounted Obama's response saying, I am writing what I think is fiction for the most part.
I'm trying to keep it as true to life as possible, but I'm exaggerating and dramatizing.
And to hear an ex-president say you're off by a few details, I thought I was off by a lot.
The fact that he said scared the F out of me.
And as executive producers of Leave the World Behind, Barack and Michelle Obama provided valuable feedback on character development and empathy, emphasizing their passion for the book and their desire for a compelling cinematic adaptation.
Vinny.
All right.
So, mind you guys, we're going to go on a little journey because I watched it.
What?
Before you do, yeah.
I haven't seen the movie.
Okay, Tom, have you seen it?
Okay.
I have sent the title.
Let me pull up the plot.
Put it in the slot.
Pull up the plot.
And then I'll get all your feedback.
Spoil alert because we're going to give away them.
If you want to watch the movie, don't listen to any of this.
So once upon a time.
So basically, it's Julia Roberts, Marshall Ali, Ethan Hawk.
So it's basically a film about a cyber attack by hackers on America.
They also sent drones go by and they're dropping thousands.
I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of flyers with a snake photo that says death to America, okay, on one side of the coast.
On the other side of the coast, they had the same drones, but they were dropping stuff in Chinese and just from different countries.
So you don't know where it's coming from, right?
It was an all-out attack using something that they called a three-stage maneuver to topple the government from within that ended with bombs dropping on cities on the White House and they had radiation.
So the three-stage maneuver is isolation.
They disable all communications and transportation, making people deaf, dumb, and paralyzed.
Number two was synchronized chaos, terror with covert attacks and disinformation with no clear enemy.
Nobody knows who the hell it's coming from.
And then the third stage is the coup d'état, civil war and collapse.
The key is, it says third stage happens on its own.
You don't need to do anything.
You don't do it.
This first phase is isolation.
Then it's synchronized chaos, which means it's intentional.
But the third stage, you don't do anything.
It's civil war and collapse.
This program was known as the most cost-effective way to destabilize a country.
Dude.
That's what they said in the movie, by the way.
Yeah.
That's the actor.
Marshall Ali?
He's the one that says it.
Oh, yeah.
He says a lot of crazy stuff.
Because tell him why he knew this stuff because his friend kept saying he had a very, so in the car, dude.
I got goosebumps right now.
There's a scene where he's looking at Ethan Hawk and he's like, listen, I have a very powerful friend.
We always joke around.
He always says that he goes to meet with these elites and they tell him this type of stuff and it's a cabal and it's evil.
And dude, he got, he gets quiet and he goes, this last time he didn't respond.
He's his money manager.
He goes, he didn't respond and they were leaving because they know they have a heads up that this stuff is coming down the pipe.
So I'm watching this patent and I'm like, wait, Barack, why would an ex-president and his wife produce something like this as if they know something is happening, right?
And he paid, what you said, he played a key role in the film.
He was hands-on the entire film.
Sam Ismail, the guy, the director, said that he was there giving him real world feedback.
So when this guy was doing stuff, Barack was like, no, no, no, that's not how this would play out.
Trust me, this is how it would play out.
Also, just a little detour.
They had some backlash for what he did.
They said in the movie about white people.
There's a scene where Marshall Ali's laying in bed with his daughter because they're staying in the basement of this house.
And he said, and this is what the daughter says.
And I quote, I'm asking you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people.
So that's in there.
By the way, there's another quote in the movie.
Ready for this?
A conspiracy.
But we stay on that.
Stay on that because it says, if something happens to the world, we shouldn't trust white people.
That's something I know you and mom would agree with me.
Quote.
End quote.
The girl says that to the dad while they're in bed together.
This girl's probably 22 years old.
If something happens to the world, we shouldn't trust white people.
That's something I know you and mom would agree with.
Keep going.
So this is layered.
Mind you, Pat, there's also a bunch of.
Why would you put that in a.
Random.
Random.
And the entire time Julia Roberts plays this angry white girl who's in sales and advertising, and the girl asks her, why are you so angry all the time?
She says, because if you know what I know on a daily basis, I lie for a living and I'm doing this and I'm doing sales and I'm meeting with people and marketing.
I'm sitting there saying, dude, you literally have been lying for a living.
You're an actress.
What the hell are you talking about?
Your job is to act.
Okay, so you're in pretty well, young lady.
That was an acting though, but go ahead.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
She was hot.
But so this is a quote from the movie.
A conspiracy theory about a shadow group of people running the world is far too lazy of an explanation, especially when the truth is far scarier.
No one is in control.
No one is pulling the strings.
An event like this happens the best.
Even the most powerful people can hope for a heads up.
Now, Pat, this movie, besides having the cultist stuff, they had the son was wearing an obey shirt.
The daughter had a NASA shirt.
In the title, you can see that there's a B-A-A-L in it.
There's a scene in the movie.
I'm not being that guy.
It is what it is.
There's a 666 in a triangle.
This is called predictive programming.
And let me explain something to you.
Do you remember we saw that video of the Iranian lawmakers chanting death to America?
Then Tucker Carlson on his show, Pat, he said about the EMP attack that's going to come if we get into a war with Iran.
And then, and Rob, can you get this video ready, bro?
Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum, that demon, all right, he's predicting a cyber attack.
He said, and I quote, the COVID-19 crisis with respect would be seen as a small disturbance in comparison.
This is him warning us.
Listen to this.
Pay insufficient attention to the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack, which would bring to a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole.
The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyber attack.
Okay, guess what?
Pat, and I'm almost done.
This, the predictive programming, they're letting you know it's coming.
Like the movie Contagion with COVID-19, the girl went to Hong Kong.
It's like, how do they know?
And people always ask, why do the elites always let us know what's coming down the pike?
They tell you through movies, through music, what they're going to do.
It's called, and you guys can look this up, the revelation of the method.
They do this to avoid bad karma.
I mean, who would have thought, you know, evil would have morals?
They put their true intentions out there so nobody could accuse them of not warning us of things to come.
All right.
It's like when you hear Bill Gates talking about depopulating the earth, he does it.
And they believe that when they tell us this, they will not face consequences.
In 1981, I dug a little deep, Pat.
In 1981, the CIA director, William Casey, said to Ronald Reagan in the West Wing, and there's a bunch of people that said he said this.
He said, and I quote, we will know our disinformation is complete when everything the American public believes is false.
This is an American spy, CIA guy.
And it's not like, Pat, when I talk about this type of stuff, guys, that it's not true.
This movie came out last week.
Guess what happened yesterday?
A massive cyber attack in the United States by China for our infrastructure.
They hit Hawaii's water utility systems.
They hit an oil and gas pipeline.
And they tried to take down the electrical grid in Texas.
And yesterday, Rumble was attacked.
Rumble got cyber attacked yesterday.
And just a side note, Pat, since I'm in this world of people and evil and all this type of stuff, did you see what happened at the Iowa Capitol building yesterday?
These are the type of people that take down Thomas Jefferson's statue, but they had a satanic demon displayed up there.
Rob, can you show that?
They have a satanic demo.
Pat, I'm talking about campus.
Keep going down, Rob.
This is actually it.
Scroll to the bottom.
They're not even hiding anymore, guys.
Keep going, down, Rob.
It's not there.
Keep going.
Story continues.
Press story continues right there and go.
And I'll get to it.
So it's not as if we come up with this type of stuff and they're lying.
Yeah, this is on display at the Iowa Capitol State Building.
That, and it's the satanic church, and they're saying, listen, we have rights too.
We could do that.
Yeah, that's the goat.
In the owls, owls and goats.
And look at the picture on the shows.
So when we talk about this type of stuff, I always question.
Tom, I always question myself.
I'm like, why would they show it to us?
Why did they do it?
This is out in the open.
They're not hiding.
They're giving us a heads up before it comes out.
And it happened yesterday.
So I wouldn't be surprised if that's the next thing.
I got to tell you this.
You know, for me, the movie, as dumb as it was, okay, I couldn't stand the movie.
It's so boring, horrible.
Terrible.
The music is eerie.
The behavior of her and the guy, marriage, the white guy and the daughter, the stuff that they're presenting like it's normal behavior.
And the line, you know, conspiracy theory of some shadow organization running the world is not true.
A line set in the movie that a former president was involved in the script.
No one controls the strings.
They're saying this in the movie.
Are you supposed to believe that?
Do you actually believe no one controls the strings?
Rob, run a poll asking, do you believe anyone controls the strings?
Yes or no?
Then, a few other things, microwave weapons that cause radiation.
This happened in Cuba.
Kevin Bacon says it.
There's a scene in a movie where he says, cash may not mean much when the government falls.
By the way, even though that's a line in a movie, that is true, though.
Cash may not mean much when the government falls.
Of course.
You have to be aware that there is some credibility to that statement.
And another line when the kid says it, when the father says it, I can barely do anything without my cell phone and GPS.
I am a useless man without my cell phone says in the movie.
Let me read it again.
I can barely do anything without my cell phone and GPS.
I'm a useless man without my cell phone.
And there's a bunch of other things.
We made a lot of enemies around the world.
Maybe what this means is they all teamed up against us.
Kevin Bacon is saying it to both of the guys that they're talking to.
So that's an anti-America globalism message.
This was a pure anti-America.
We caused this.
This is the reason why this is taking place.
It is a movie to trash America.
It is a movie to manipulate people watching.
It is a movie to get people thinking and believing.
But if there's one thing that I did believe when it was done, you know, there's different torture methods.
One of the torture methods when they put you in jail is this screeching sound that they make that stays on for a couple of days that you can't go to sleep.
Oh, my God.
You know that.
That sound, do you know what I'm talking about?
It hurt your ear.
Yeah, they did.
Yeah.
Yes.
And no matter what you do, it's so loud.
So you can't.
It's like worse than a baby crying in your ear.
Oh, Adam Timesworth.
The kid, go ahead, Pat, go ahead.
the movie, they do this to the entire state, to the entire town, and everybody hears it and everybody collapses.
There's even a scene where Julia Robbins chasing after her daughter to find her.
The pain is so bad, she falls to her knees.
So the pain was so excruciating that she couldn't even chase after her daughter to find her.
It cripples you.
It cripples you.
And one of the bad reactions of that radiation, that symbol was that signal, the son's teeth.
just start falling out.
So they're looking for a doctor.
That's why they go to Kevin Bacon.
And then they said, I wrote this somewhere, Pat, the political coup d'état, the political coup d'état, which is afoot.
They say, which is why the people in positions of power are letting a civil war take root by disrupting technology and feeding disinformation.
And you said that third stage, it happens on its own.
So everything, all this stuff, it's just weird.
Klaus Schwab, it's throughout the history, they warn us.
God Rob, they warn us what's coming, Pat, because apparently in their religion, Rob, we talked about this before.
They have to give you a heads up as it's coming down the pike, which is weird.
What are you going to say, Rob?
No, there's a very interesting episode.
There was a TV show called The X-Files.
Do you guys remember that show before David Ducari?
Did you ever hear of the spin-off show, The Lone Gunman?
Okay, there was a TV show that Fox produced in 2001.
It was going to be a spin-off of some of the people that fed Mulder and Scully information about the X-Files.
The pilot episode aired March 4th of 2001.
So this is seven months before 9-11.
The entire episode predicted that the government would use a controlled drone airplane to fly into the World Trade Center to then launch, I swear to God, to launch a war in the Middle East.
So I have it up here at the X-Files, but March 4th of 2001, that comes out.
And then six months later, 9-11, literally planes fly into the World Trade Centers, and then we go to war with the people.
So am I crazy to say what I say when I'm telling you it's called predictive programming?
They let you know what's coming.
And then when it happens, we have these moments where we go, wait, what?
Weird.
But here's a question, though.
Here's a question.
Okay, Tom.
You remember the only guy we ever brought on the podcast twice in the same month was a guy named Peter Pratt.
Peter Pratt.
And he died afterwards.
Yeah, weird.
He literally died afterwards.
He was the electromagnetic guy.
I'm not kidding with him.
He was the guy that knew the most about EMPs.
We bring him on, he talks, and he talks about the fact that everybody should own a nuclear underground bumper.
He was sort of a doomsday prepper type.
I believe it, dude.
But I tell you what, the level of qualification of what this guy had in his background, when he spoke, you're listening.
Was that interesting?
You were fascinated, Pat.
I think you wanted to say something, Tom.
Go for it.
No, what I was looking at here is, remember, none of this is surprising to me because this is all the psyops stuff.
And it's real.
Psyops is real.
You also can just go look at, we talk about it in our political discourse.
They say is accuse the other side of doing exactly what you are doing now, right?
It's like, oh, you're, it's such as the liberals were accusing Republicans of using redlining and redistricting to manipulate elections.
You're manipulating elections through redlining, redistricting, and denying people the right to vote by creating obstacles in the form of identification of the things that are designed to do this.
So all those come out.
And then now we find out that, you know, ballot harvesting, we've got videos of ballots being brought in, you know, and in suitcases and buckets.
It's real.
Did it alter the whole election?
Who knows?
Was there fraud involved?
Of course.
So it's accuse the other side, which you're exactly doing now.
And also, you know, you also.
I think that's called the Hegelian dialectic, I want to say.
Whoa.
Don't ask me how I know.
Holy crap.
Very good.
Oh, wow.
Stay in school, kids.
You just got a conflict.
I'm very impressed.
Hang on, Alex.
I want to know your point, Tom.
I'm waiting.
So the point is here is this all comes out to prime the populace.
That is the whole purpose of it.
When you look at Operation Mockingbird and all these things and PSYOPs, PSYOPS, what you have to do is you have to make it not surprising.
It says, and also put yourself in a position where you're offensive, not defensive.
So that's how you prime the pump by letting people know, saying things out there so they're not as surprised, number one.
And then number two, you know, the PSYOP, we're just talking about elections.
Accuse the other side of what you're going to do.
And when you do all this, the populace is somewhat numbed and somewhat incapacitated.
Can I say something to you?
When?
I mean, I don't know how many times I said this on this podcast.
How much more shit is China going to do?
Because yesterday we had the cyber attack, spy balloons over the place, COVID-19, and then we just worship.
Gavin Newsom brings these people, brings Xi Jinping to California, and they clean the streets and they put the Chinese flag.
It's like China is the threat.
Let's stay on this.
Let's stay on this.
Let's actually have a very logical conversation.
Okay.
So first of all, for those, you know, if you're watching, it's like, oh, here we go again.
Well, listen, this is not here we go again.
If this movie was done by anybody, nobody would give a shit.
If this movie was done by Ridley Scott, you know, Steven Spielberg, nobody would give a shit.
Yeah, it's just another movie.
I got it.
You know, like World War Z or Independence Day or whatever, whatever.
No, no.
This is the former president who's the executive producer of this movie.
Like, let me put it to you this way.
Barack calls you.
You're his friend.
He says, hey, I'm thinking about investing into this movie.
What is it about?
It's about what America would look like if there was a cyber warfare and how we would shut down the entire system and control minds and making sure we tell them that there is nobody that controls the strings.
What would you tell Obama as a friend who's trying to go into movies the first time?
What would you tell him?
Maybe you would say, Brock, you may want to skip this movie, bro.
You may want to skip this movie and go to like a, you know, biography about, I don't know, a, you know, RGB or Ruther, what's her name?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, RBG.
RBG or do a, do, like a movie about a story of somebody, something like that.
No, you choose to do this movie as a former president?
First of all, that's a little weird for me, even as an American, to tell a story like that because the enemy is either sitting there saying, hey, man, thanks, Brock.
That was fantastic.
Or the enemy's sitting there saying you're giving ideas or you just scared the shit out of the populace.
FYI, it was very believable.
Nothing about what I watched was unbelievable.
Everything about what I watched was very, very believable.
That sound, the brain stimulation thing, that simulation thing that they do, believable.
That whole concept about cars, electric cars, all going in the same direction because now you control the satellite and they took out the satellite, believable.
The ship coming nonstop to the, what do you call it, to the beach, to the beach, and the kid is like, I think that ship is coming towards us.
Believable.
Planes losing satellite control communication, crashing in the middle of the ocean, believable.
There wasn't anything that you looked at and you said, this is unbelievable, right?
So as somebody like myself who was in the military, who was Middle Eastern and who was in the insurance space, you know what all those three have in common?
Paranoia, okay?
When you live in the Middle East, you're naturally what?
What if this happens?
What if that happens?
What if this happens?
What do you taught when you're in the military?
If this happens, you got to do this.
You got to flank this.
You got to build it.
You got to.
Okay.
What happens when you're in the insurance business?
You buy insurance because, God forbid, you die.
What if this happens?
Breadwind, everything is about preparation.
So as much as we're having this conversation here together, if you're married with kids, I actually would seriously encourage you to have a serious conversation with your friends and peers to see what you could do.
Because there was a scene where these guys are driving around.
And the one guy, Kevin Bacon, says something.
He says, have you guys gone to Turnson's House, whatever the guy's name is?
Have you guys gone to such and such a house?
No, why?
Well, I know one of my buddies, you know, built a nuclear bunker underneath it, and he built a bunker.
And, you know, I don't know who did it.
He never wanted to show it to me and they never confirmed it.
But I know my friend built that thing.
And if there's anywhere for you guys to go, that's the place to go.
And the daughter goes there accidentally.
She opens the store and she goes in and she hits the switch.
It's not even a switch like this.
It's a switch like this.
It's like a generator switch.
The whole thing turns on and it's a nuclear place under where the glass window is a LED to show light and show sky and show this, even though you're underground.
These are some things, financial planning, health planning.
This is why you do executive testing every year.
Tom introduced me to that in 08.
I went to UCLA, did my executive testing.
You meet with nine doctors within nine hours and find out everything about your body.
Sounds like I probably need to go do an executive testing right now, but I did one about a year ago.
Everything is about preparation for the next year.
And this movie made me think about that.
Can I add one thing?
Go ahead.
So, you know me, I'm pretty skeptical about, you know, just generic stuff like this, but I will say this.
In 2015, this was actually at a NALBA type meeting back in the day.
They had a guest speaker.
It was Ted Koppel.
Do you remember who Ted Koppel is?
Yeah, he used to do the ABC 1130 special segment news show, right?
Ted Koppel, considered one of the most, what, respected journalists of all time, brought me up a picture of Ted Koppel.
All you got to do is hit images, buddy.
Ted Koppel, Dan Rather, you know, this type of guy.
You've seen him.
You know his face.
And at the time, this was at the height of the 2016 election, Trump, Hillary Clinton.
And obviously all the news was about build the wall, build the wall, build the wall.
And he goes, you know, I'm not so concerned about the wall.
I'm concerned about the electric grid situation and cyber attacks.
And this is before it became sort of, you know, present-day conversation and where we're at as part of the nomenclature right going on right now.
But he started warning of these electric grid attacks.
Okay.
And nobody really had heard this type of speech, especially from respected journalists at this point.
So he starts basically saying, here he goes, Ted Koplon lights out a cyber attack in Nation Unprepared.
This is 2015 Miami Book Fair.
So it was right around the time.
Probably wrote a book about this.
And it made me aware, holy shit, this.
And he basically went into great detail of what would happen.
So my ultimate point is this.
This has been pervasive in the culture for almost eight, 10 years now at this point.
Not far-fetched, not unbelievable.
Certainly something that we're hoping the military is on top of.
The scariest thing is what Pat pointed out.
Why did Barack Obama co-sign something like this?
So weird stuff.
And his quote was this, I'm writing what I think is fiction for the most part.
I'm trying to keep it as true to life as possible, but I'm exaggerating and dramatizing.
So it's just interesting that he put his name behind something.
And Penn, but think about it.
I don't want to spend any more time.
30 seconds, we're moving on.
And he made a great point.
They put it in movies and music and all that stuff.
Rob said the thing about 9-11, contagion with COVID.
And then, bro, do you understand how volatile our power grid is, Pat?
Think about this.
George Collin talked about it.
If electricity is shut off here in the United States, can you imagine?
Look what happens when a light, intersection light, shuts off.
Nobody knows what the hell to do.
God forbid our power goes down, bro.
It's a rat.
Let's just hope that we're utilizing it to some enemy before they use it.
Utilize it on us.
Guys, listen, let me tell you what.
Life is better off the way you live.
It's not, let's just say the power grid goes out.
Okay.
I'm telling you, it's going to happen.
I know.
I just don't know when it's going to happen.
Meaning, is it going to be in 2024 during election year?
Because they're scared shitless that Trump could actually win.
Is it going to be 20?
Is it going to be the next five years, 10 years, 15 years?
I believe it's going to happen.
You best just do whatever you can to be ready for it.
Some people are maybe saying, well, I don't have the kind of money.
You guys got the money.
This isn't about money.
There's ways of preparing in different ways based on the kind of resources you got.
You have to figure out what level of resource, like if we are a small country and we don't have the kind of money that China's got or other people have, we have to use our resources to create our own weapons, even if we're a small little country.
You have to think about it that way.
Your startup country, protect your family.
How do you do it?
You have to do a little bit of research, a little bit of studying for yourself.
And to find out if that were to happen, do you have a small generator?
Do you have certain things set aside?
What method of payment will you use if you don't have any cash or if you don't have what other things do you have to protect your family?
I do believe it is something worth talking about with your family to be prepared for this because I think something like this is going to happen next 5, 10, 15, 20 years.
And by the way, I do believe it's going to be worse than COVID because at least with COVID, you can stay home and still communicate with others.
With this, you stay home.
Your internet, security, gate, lights, it's mayhem.
Everything's gone.
So what do you do?
You just got to be prepared for it.
And if it doesn't happen, better.
You know, if it never happens, awesome.
But at least you were prepared for worst case scenario.
My concern is: how deep is our mill?
Like, you think Barack, you think Joe Biden's military is ready for this?
Hell no.
I have no idea, but I tell you, the next president, whoever it is, this has got to be a topic of discussion to make some major investments into this to make sure the American people are protected.
Okay, let's go to the next story.
Next story we got, Tom.
We're going to go talk about what happened with Harvard and the Penn president on last week being grilled, which was the most viewed, what was it, congressional hearing we've ever had.
So Penn president, board chair, resigns after fervor, after free over comments on campus, anti-Semitism.
So she resigns.
Then other things come out.
Let me see this one here.
Former president Liz McGill last week made a very unfortunate misstep, consistent with what of two peers university leaders sitting alongside her after five hours of aggressive questioning before a congressional committee, stated Scott L. Bach, the chairman of the University of Penn.
Following that, it became clear that her position was no longer tenable, and she and I concurrently decided that it was time for her to exit.
Representative Stefanik applauded McGill's resignation, saying, one down, two to go.
This is only the beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of anti-Semitism that has destroyed the most prestigious higher education institutions.
And a couple other things came out with her plagiarizing the Harvard alumni president, Gay.
Tom, I'll read that and I'll just turn it over to you from there.
Harvard alumni outrage after president accused of plagiarizing dissertion, okay?
Harvard alumni demand an investigation into plagiarism allegations against school president Claudine Gay, with Christopher Ruffo and Christopher Burnett accusing of verbatim plagiarism, as they reveal instances of lifting text from other academics as stated in their report report first, Gay lifts an entire paragraph, nearly verbatism, from Lawrence Bobo and Franklin Gilliam great last name, race sociopath,
political participation and black empowerment while passing it off as her own paraphrase and language.
The researchers emphasize that such plagiarism violates Harvard owner honor code, potentially leading to disciplinary action.
Harvard's honor code specifies that students who submit work not their own or fail to attribute sources can face disciplinary measures, including potential withdrawal from college.
So one one of the three resigns.
The other one's getting caught plagiarizing tom, what do you think is gonna end up happening here?
So let's, let's go run down the list.
Let's take the easy one first, PEN.
WALL Street Journal today.
The WALL Street Freaking Journal today says, blames Wealth Rich for the Migill departure that they had been on her back for weeks and there'd been um, you know, you know, a dialogue that was getting very tense between them.
Wait a minute.
So how did the Journal?
What is the Journal saying?
So PEN, they're trying to spin it already that.
Well, you know it's, it's, it's these doggone rich.
Oh, you mean the ones that go to Wharton that are funding your endowment, those doggone rich.
So Penny, you know Miguel resigns.
The pressure was on from the alumni people from Wharton.
It all came to a head.
She said what she said, she was wrong and they fired her.
So it seems like what happened at PENN was what should have happened after the Congressional UM Investigate Congressional hearing where she said what she said and that was trying to be spun that.
Oh well, you know it was the rich that did it and they've been looking, they've been trying to get her for weeks.
Right bs, you're just trying to put a spin on it.
Then at Harvard Harvard's the one that is actually more complicated but easier it gets.
Summed up this, the woke mob, including the board at Harvard, the trustees at Harvard, have protected their own.
It's pure hypocrisy.
They've protected their own they, and they see this as a noble fight.
There are billboards out there, right next to Harvard, calling for her resignation.
There are alumni sending letters and posting on x very eloquent, well-researched statements saying calling for her dismissal.
And Ruffo presented a beautiful dissertation on not beautiful meaning, well put together dissertation on the plagiarism that happened in her own uh, scholarly articles as she presented herself for president.
So if this had been a white male this, this person's gone, this would already be over.
But Harvard is protected.
The, the trustees and the board are protecting their person and they see this as a noble fight.
You have to understand what's going on here.
The trustees and the board of Harvard are taking her side because they see it as a fight against the ones that are not completely lined up with their woke agenda.
That's the only reason they're defending her.
They are defending one of their own tribe, one of their own mob, and that's what they've done.
And last night, they expressed support for her and said that she would not be resigning.
And she said, I'm not resigning.
This happened very late last night.
There were apparently meetings of the board that went on yesterday and yesterday evening.
So they've come out and said this.
Alumni this morning were freaking out because the executive committee of the Alumni Association.
So think of that as like the board, not all the members, just the board.
They came out and said, hey, the board of trustees needs to come out and make a positive statement of support for her and keep her.
And there were people like Bill Ackman that said, wait a minute, I'm a prominent alumni.
I wasn't called.
They didn't pull the alumni.
The Alumni Association Executive Committee acted alone without really getting the consensus of the alumni because there was no consensus.
The alumni are calling for her resignation.
So it sums up at Harvard is the woke mob protect itself.
But okay, besides the backlash from what they said or they didn't say at the hearing, Tom, how bad is this going to be for the future of Harvard for obviously anybody Jewish trying to go to this school?
But what's the like long, long term for her staying there?
It's going to look like for them.
Well, I think what you have to see is look at what is Harvard.
Harvard is not a college.
Harvard is an association of elite woke individuals and their children that are going to the school.
And here's what I mean by that.
If you take a look at it's very interesting.
Meaning you're not the customer and they're okay losing you.
Oh, wow.
They're okay losing your kids.
They're okay losing his kids.
They're okay losing everybody's kids.
Exactly.
They're okay with that.
Wow.
And by the way, you should, there is a graph that came out.
I don't know if you can find it, Rob, about grade compression that went on at Harvard.
And there's a chart that came out this past week that showed that the average grade GPA was creeping up.
I think it was from charter, C-H-A-R-T-R Charter.
It did the thing on Harvard grade compression.
And it's a shocking chart that shows you that the median grade given out now, Pat, is 3.8.
Median?
3.8.
Means if you come to Harvard, how dare we give you a C and upset the woke customer?
And so it is, it's, it's horrifying.
So they have ceased to be.
I actually love the fact that they took this position.
You know why I love the fact that the board took this position?
Let me tell you why the board took this position.
In this situation, Penn won.
In this situation, Penn won.
Because you can hire somebody.
For example, you can hire somebody in the company.
And how much background shit can you do on the person?
Do you know if the person's a serial killer?
No.
No.
Do you know if this person likes young boys?
No.
Do you know if this person has certain porn habits you don't know about?
No.
Do you know if this person, you don't know this stuff, right?
You hire them.
But then imagine you hire them and that comes out and then you don't fire them.
If the board fires them, what the company is telling you is we don't stand for that.
But if you hire them and the board keeps them, what the company is saying is we stand for that.
So in this situation, Penn is saying, uh-uh, we don't stand for what she just did.
Harvard is saying, uh-huh, we do stand for what Gay did.
Wow.
So Harvard lost big time.
Okay.
Parents, if you're thinking about putting your kids in Harvard, you may want to think twice.
Bad decision after bad decision after bad decision.
You know, there's a school locally here.
You know what the school is.
I went to the school's, what do you call it, interview for my kids?
The high school, you mean?
Yeah.
It's not a high school.
It's K-12.
Yeah.
So I went to the school and we sat down with them.
It's the premier school in all of Florida.
Okay.
50 grand or some number like that.
If you're on the area, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
And I asked the question.
I'm like, so what is the school's top priority with all the different issues going on worldwide?
What would you say is the top issues that you guys want to educate the kids on?
Oh, number one is climate change.
Okay, fantastic.
What else?
Two, equity and inclusive and all this stuff.
Okay, what else?
How do you feel about capitalism?
Well, what do you mean by that?
I said, how do you feel about capitalism?
Are you a Trump voter?
I said, they asked you that?
I said, the fact that I'm telling you capitalism, you think I'm a Trump voter?
Because I said capitalism.
What does capitalism have to do with being a Trump voter?
That's how you categorize it.
So I said, what do you feel about?
Well, we like to teach capitalism and socialism and communism.
The pros and cons of it, and we let the kids decide.
I said, wait a minute.
The pros and cons of yeah, we like to teach all of that and let the kids decide.
I'm like, how much more market research do you need to realize this doesn't work, right?
This killed a lot of people.
What's the moral of the story?
You got to be asking those questions.
You got to be protective with your kids.
If you can't afford to put your kids in private school, you have to be involved to know what they're going through, what they're dealing with, what they're teaching them, what they're being talked to.
Because in a time like this, schools like this are showing you their true colors.
And parents, if you send your kids there, knowing what they stand for, just because you want to brag to your sister, your brother, your cousins, that your kid went to Harvard, you could potentially lose your kids for 10 to 20 years to some pathetic ideology.
Yeah, let me give you a little extra perspective on Penn because this whole situation, we're kind of coming in on the ninth inning and being, yeah, that's what happened in the game.
But there's been a whole buildup to what's going on specifically at Penn, who basically, they were the one university that their president stepped down.
So this has been building up for years.
They've been on a collision course for basically five years, culminating with the sort of the step down of what's her name again?
Liz McGill, who stepped down as the president.
Yes.
So let me go back in history.
She's still a tenure professor, by the way.
She goes back to the law school.
So just to kind of paint a picture, that's been sort of the progressive, woke left-leaning universities.
We understand that with their sort of appeasement of radicalism that's been sort of culminating in these academic echo chambers on the left side.
On the right side, you have traditionally conservative capitalist businessmen who are on the board of trustees, who are basically donating hundreds of millions of dollars.
So sort of funding this operation, especially in Wharton, you'll be familiar with this company's name, Apollo Global Management.
It's run by a guy, the CEO, Mark Rowan.
Okay.
Familiar with that name?
Then you also have Ross Stevens.
He's the guy that ended up withdrawing $100 million from Penn.
All right.
So here's what's going on.
So this collision course has been a brewing.
We're seeing what happened with the congressional hearing.
Let's go back a few years from now.
Do you remember the name Leah Thomas?
Who was that?
The swimmer?
She was the swimmer.
He was the swimmer.
She, whatever.
They were the swimmer.
Exactly.
So what school did he, she, they go to?
Penn State.
So what?
No, not Penn State, brother.
Oh, my bad, my bad.
Penn, my bad.
Big difference.
No, not Penn State.
Exactly.
Not the Nippy Lions.
These guys right here.
God, she is the worst.
He, she, they, them was the swimmer that was a trans swimmer.
Now, here's what happened.
This was, I believe, in 2020, 2021.
She was going through her trans situation, gender identity.
We all understand that, Vinny, all right, brother?
Yeah, because he says, I'm sorry, because he, boys, he goes, she's wearing a value chain shirt.
And look at that face on that photo.
They are wearing a value-tame shirt, Vinny.
Respect for he, she, they, that.
But here's what happened at the time.
They, her, won this big swim meet.
Yeah.
What happens then?
Penn University nominates her to the NCAA as woman athlete of the year.
So all the trustees, all the boards, conservative thinking capitalists are like, all right, y'all, we're going a little too far.
This is the face.
of our brand.
Yeah.
Female Leon Thomas.
So if you remember that, so she becomes this nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year, nominated by Penn.
Okay.
The trustee, the board of trustees, they're all going, what the fuck is going on here right now?
Fast forward to this past summer, prior to the October 7th Hamas attack, the Palestinian groups on campus were basically organizing this summer river to the sea revival ideology type thing.
The board, Apollo, Mark Rowan, the rest of the crew is like, yeah, not the best look for the school.
People are basically going back and forth on this.
They try to sort of stop and appease whatever.
They're having all these debates.
Boom, October 7th happens.
Boom.
Anti-Semitism happens.
Boom, she steps down.
But there's been a track record that's been basically awaiting this collision course.
And that's why there's no surprise that she stepped out of it.
Apollo is the Leon Black guy that gave a half a billion dollars to Epstein for estate planning.
Half a billion dollars.
Paris plan.
Exactly.
Oh, that's right.
By the way, this has been activism for a while.
Rob, can you go back to the Harvard grade chart?
Leon Black.
There you go.
Go back to the Harvard Grade Chart real quick.
Take a look at this.
Look at what happened in the late 60s.
A sharp rise in grades given by Harvard in the 1960s to help students avoid the military draft that was Vietnam.
Now, I'm not saying Vietnam was a good war, right?
He says, I, as a six-year-old, remember a Vietnam funeral.
It was a bad war.
It was a bad thing.
And a lot of people died.
But what Harvard did was, well, we can't have our kids go in there.
And look what they did to the GPA to help them avoid the draft.
It's called an academic deferment.
So to get the academic deferment, the point is Harvard has been activist going back to the 1960s.
And you see the grade compression here, what's going on there.
So their lack of authenticity has gone way back.
And there have been things brewing below the surface.
And so to see the three presidents come out there, these presidents are not outliers.
And to cut the head off the snake, it's a hydra.
It grows eight more.
That's exactly what you're going to see with the Ivy League, which is why the Ivy League has come out and say, well, we're all kind of nuts.
How can we get rid of our Harvard president?
Because we all feel the same.
You know what?
Deal with the flack.
Deal with the aftermath.
Let's get behind her, regardless of the billboards, regardless of the alumni, regardless of people saying they're not donating anymore.
We don't care.
There's another side to this, right?
The other side.
So people say, why would you care?
Pat, why would you care?
Wouldn't you care if 10 million, 100 million, people stopped giving you money?
No.
And I'll tell you why.
Because they were just given money in Biden-forgiving student loans.
How?
Because they can charge whatever tuition they want.
And the poor kids that end up saddled with it get forgiven by members of Biden's cabinet that recommend that you should do the student loan forgiveness that went to freaking Harvard.
So Harvard's perfect.
They're like, Vinny, you're going to pay $50,000 a year to go to school here.
I am?
Well, we'll give you student loans.
We'll give you academic aid for $25 of it, but you still got to pay $25.
You get a student loan.
$25 a year comes to Harvard.
They get paid, right?
They're paid.
You're saddled.
Don't worry.
A couple of our guys will pay in the presidential cabinet someday and we'll just forgive your loans.
Harvard gets it.
Do you see the cycle?
Check this out.
The cycle of life.
The Biden administration on Wednesday announced an additional $4.8 billion on student loan debt relief affecting more than 80,000 borrowers.
The announcement brings a total approved debt cancellation by Biden administration to $132 billion for more than 3.6 million Americans.
Before President Biden took office, it was virtually impossible for eligible borrowers to access the student debt relief they rightfully earned.
Student debt relief, they rightfully earned.
What do you mean they rightfully earned?
Tom said that earlier.
What the hell?
U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said the data released today once again make clear that the Biden-Harris administration's relentless effort to fix the broken student loan system are paying off in a big way.
This level of debt relief is unparalleled, and we have no intention of slowing down.
So what is debt relief?
So first of all, who's responsible for it?
Why are schools charging as much as they're charging?
Why are you not putting this on schools?
Schools are sitting there saying, keep doing debt relief.
We got our money.
We don't give a shit.
We got our money.
We don't give a shit.
We got our money.
We don't care.
Do as much as you want to do this.
We're totally fine with that.
And you're teaching kids to be bailed out at a young age.
They chose to go to college.
Nobody told them to go to college.
You, your administration, has sold the idea of being successful, is going to college.
Great.
So they go to college, they borrow the money.
Now you're saying they rightfully earned the debt relief eligible borrowers.
What?
What they rightfully earned, eligible, you know, what do you call it?
Debt relief they rightfully earned.
I think it's insane what's going on, but colleges are sitting there celebrating, saying that $4.8 billion is coming to us.
Keep doing more of it.
Anyways, let's go to the next story here with what Fauci just said.
And then I got a couple other stories we'll get into as well.
Even Narcius didn't love himself this much.
Okay, this is a Daily Wire story.
This much.
Fauci doesn't need church.
His personal ethics are enough.
I mean, that's like a priest speaking right there.
Let's see here.
All right, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former, by the way, there's a video for this if you do have it.
You know how long the video is?
He's explaining this right now.
It's annoying to watch, but it's under a minute.
Go ahead, play this clip.
What a, I mean.
He's a dirtbag.
You have to realize, in America, he's Pope too many.
He's the Pope of the health industry.
In California, I'm not joking.
You know those signs that say like, go by?
People in California, when I left, had him like he was going for, like, he was the president of the United States, but they worshiped him.
I think liberals moving forward need to call him Pope Fauci.
Pope Fauci.
Go ahead and play this clip by Pope Fauci.
The Pope of Pope.
There's the Augreen Chapel where Chris and I were.
That's me who married him.
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
It's really nice.
Look at the security in the back.
You don't practice anymore, do you?
Why?
A number of complicated reasons.
Go on.
We have a whole corridor.
Dean.
You know who he laughs like?
Puzzle right there.
You know that one priest that got caught on the jet and he laughs when the lady comes and says the jet you bought from Tyler Perry?
Do you know who I'm talking about?
Do you know what?
You've seen this.
Kenneth Copeland.
Copernica.
Go back and do that laugh again.
Go back 10 seconds.
Go back a little bit more.
A little bit more.
Go back, go back, go back.
Okay, press play.
Watch this laugh.
A number of complicated reasons.
Go on.
We have a whole corridor.
Oh, my God.
First of all, I think my own personal ethics on life are, I think, enough to keep me going on the right path.
And I think that there are enough negative aspects about the organizational church that you were very well aware of.
I'm not against it.
I identify myself as a Catholic.
I was raised.
I was baptized.
I was confirmed.
I was married in the church.
My children were baptized in the church.
But as far as practicing it, it seems almost like a pro forma thing.
Pause it right there before that music.
You know what?
You know what?
You know what she should have said?
So you mean you don't go to church anymore because when you walk in, your feet catch on fire because you are a deep.
That guy, Pat, the damage that he's done from, did you read the Fauci book, Tom?
It's scary the real Dr. Fauci.
The shit that he's done and what he's done to this country because of COVID and the lockdowns.
And, you know, we had to listen to what the hell he said.
The lying, the wear a mask, don't wear a mask, wear four, five masks.
He's a bullshit artist, bureaucrat who's so protected.
Do you see his security detail?
He has like secret service people guarding his ass because he knows who he is and he knows what he's done.
And the people, like, look, just look at his face, bro.
I'm telling you, he looks like Copeland.
By the way, hold that picture and go on a different page and type in Copeland.
And then look at the pictures of them.
They look like they're cousins.
Kenneth Copeland is way creepier looking.
Yeah, but this guy's creepy.
But Adam, you don't agree with what he's doing.
Choose a different picture, though.
Not a picture like that.
Yeah.
Choose a different picture.
Just put him right in there.
Remember, he's science.
He's science.
He's this.
He doesn't go to church.
Go to Fauci.
Go to Fauci.
Right next to him.
Yeah, I mean, without the eyes, yeah, it's him.
But it's like the audacity of just still seeing him.
The eyes don't lie, Chico.
Yeah, I just don't respect this.
Look, I am never surprised when bad people do bad things.
I'm never surprised.
But Tom, you never even heard of him doing bad things until COVID was like the final.
But now we know.
Now we know.
You walk down the street.
You don't know what bad things any number of people are doing.
But think about it.
Why would he need this type of security?
Why do you think he has like presidential security?
Because he knows what the hell he's done, Tom.
He knows.
Vinny, Vinny, Vinny, turn it from 11 to 9 for a second.
Of course he needs security.
He's pissed off half the free world who are waking up to what has happened.
It doesn't surprise me that bad people do bad things.
It surprises me when occasionally a bad person does a good thing.
That's what surprises me.
It doesn't surprise me at all.
And it doesn't surprise me to look back at it and to hear him referring to Catholicism like the nights, like the Kiwanis Club that he happens to attend in town.
And he talks about, you know, practicing it.
He doesn't practice.
Does that surprise you that he's not a practicing man of faith?
That doesn't surprise me.
I'll tell you what I'm saying.
And he's capable of doing this with not being a practical people doing evil, but does it piss you off?
It doesn't piss you off when evil people do evil things.
It does upset me.
It upsets me, but it doesn't surprise me.
We all need a savior.
We all need to repent.
And it does not surprise me when he does it, but I get very upset about it.
But I direct my energy from a moment of being upset to a moment of moving forward.
Like Pat knows, I'm dedicated to education in the future.
What can I do about it?
How can I do it?
I'm a teacher at heart.
How can I help that situation?
I don't know what I can do in medical about Fauci except make sure that I'm not what this is about.
No better terms.
What you're going to, Tom, is you're going pure to let's move on with the story.
If we're doing a story, you want to get your opinion on this story.
We all agree that we got to move on and build our own life.
What I'm saying here is here's a man who's got influence over our kids and our youth and America, and he's making decisions that I would much rather have a person fear the Lord, fear God, fear a bad decision that you are hurting his people, that I know he's going to have a little bit of conscience to make a better decision for a populace, that the amount of influence you have for you to be like, dude, because you know when you're deep down inside by yourself praying, here's what happens.
Say you're about to make a selfish decision, okay?
Right now, one of our guys in a company just keeps making selfish decisions after selfish decisions after selfish decisions.
This is three years in a row.
Hey, he'll move somewhere.
I'm not moving there.
Hey, I'm going to do this.
Hey, pay me this.
Hey, pay me that.
like coming from a very selfish place and he's blinded by his decisions on what he's doing right and he thinks he's making the best decisions every time i ask myself who do you talk to at night when you're praying about a decision you make who do you fear do you not fear god do you not fear something i would much rather have somebody that's making decisions on my health on politics on nih any of that stuff where you're sitting there saying i know what these politicians want me to do But am I doing the right thing here?
Is this the right thing we're doing for kids, for parents?
We've only had nine or 11 months of testing on vaccines.
Does my conscience make me feel good at night before I go to sleep to say kids under the age of two now need to take the vaccine?
How the hell do you know if that's going to affect that someone's child?
No, man.
So that concerns me when there's a leader with high-end decisions being made.
By the way, I don't care if he's a Jew.
I don't care if he's a Mormon.
I don't care if he's a Christian.
I don't care if he's a Catholic.
I don't care what he is.
I just care the fact that he fears a higher power that you make a bad decision, there's going to be consequences.
When a man doesn't have that level of fear, guess what that man's going to do his entire life?
Reckless decisions, because it's all about who?
Himself.
He's telling you his personal ethics.
So guess who's the only person he doesn't want to disappoint?
Himself.
Himself.
No problem.
I'm going to be okay disappointing myself every once in a while.
No.
So you have to have a certain level of fear that you have for the man upstairs that prevents you from making some bad decisions.
And for me, the fact that a man with this level of power is relying on his own ethics, he's essentially becoming his own God.
Like in his world, he is God.
And that's a concern to me.
Of course we're all going to move on.
Of course we got to build our own life.
Of course we got to do this stuff.
But we got to be looking a little bit more in examples being given from the top that men fear the biggest factor.
This is not a religion debate.
Let's set the religion debate aside.
You're a Jew.
I'm a Christian.
Rob, what are you, Rob?
Presbyterian.
Presbyterian, Tom, non-denominational.
And I'm assuming you're also non-denominational.
Yeah.
So, okay.
But we got friends here that are different things, all this other stuff.
Do you know the benefits of a man, a boy, a girl, a woman, a leader, a general, a president, a CEO, an executive, fearing a higher power?
Do you know how good that is for society when men fear a higher power?
Do you know that level of fear?
Now, I don't mean from the standpoint of the other day, it's so funny, Kelly and Brandon, Kelly brings up data to me, which is pretty fascinating.
Which countries pray the most?
And you know what correlation she found?
Countries with the lowest life expectancy, the people that pray the most.
Countries with the highest level of life expectancy, they pray the least, except for America.
We are one of the only ones that prays the most.
Let me give that data one more time.
Countries with the lowest life expectancy, you're only 11 to 55.
The average person dies at 60.
These are a lot of nations, Muslim nations, Nigeria, you know, you'll see that it's a lot of nations that believe in, they're not Christian nations, they're, you know, different kind of nations, but they pray the most to have the lowest life expectancy.
A lot of countries that you live to 80, 82, 83, they don't do a lot of praying because they're what?
They're themselves, right?
I prefer a person at the top running anything, no matter what happens when they go to sleep by themselves, they fear a higher power.
That is beneficial to everybody in that society, in that community.
I believe that.
I agree too.
So, anyways, we can get to the next story here.
Unless, if you wanted to lead us into prayer, I just move forward if you want to.
I do.
Father, Adam, here.
Adam, thank you guys.
Join hands.
I will say there is a difference between organized religion and belief in a higher power.
I know plenty of people that don't go to temple, don't go to church, don't go to the mosque, but they do believe in something bigger than themselves.
I think that is the most important thing.
Not that I'm defending Fauci on this, and he'll have his day in court or in the Pearlie Gates, whatever it is.
I'm not here to cast judgment on him, but he did say, I do consider myself a Catholic.
I'm just no longer a member of an organized religion.
I get it.
To me, honestly, Fauci, will he ever be held accountable for whatever crime?
No.
Zero.
No.
Okay.
That's what pisses me off.
Trump had a chance to fire him.
He didn't do it.
Biden had a chance to relieve him of his position.
Obviously, he didn't do it.
But I'll circle back to the number one thing: hold China accountable.
And they can't.
What are we doing with that?
That's where I'm.
And by the way, China just took a turn there.
You know the religion in China?
China?
Zero religion.
They don't have a belief in God.
No, okay.
They believe in the state, the government.
They believe in the state.
And we always come back to the Uyghurs.
What you were saying, and you're right, Adam, the zero accountability, but the damage that that little rat has done to the people, because think about all the people that believed and took the vaccine and now they're suffering.
And he's walking around with security and nothing will ever happen with him.
I can be pissed off about that.
That rises correction.
Hope Fauci moving on.
I apologize.
Don't do that again.
I apologize.
I'll kiss his ring.
Does he get one of those cool white coats?
I can see him in one, by the way.
I can see him.
All right, next one.
Let's go into boys are struggling.
It can take coaches, tutors, and thousands a month to fix that.
This is a Wall Street Journal story.
This is not a spoof of a story.
They're talking about boys are losing their identity.
So middle school boys are increasingly seeking private tutoring services focused on improving personal organization skills.
With 70% of Teresa Lubovich's clientele being male, parents are willing to pay starting $500 a month to help their sons become more motivated and organized for success in high school and beyond.
Educational experts suggest that boys have struggled to regain their motivation after the pandemic, compounded by the distractions of laptops and devices, both in schools and at home, strategies combat that include enforcing phone-free study environments to improve focus.
Boys' academic challenges exasperated by the pandemic include declining test scores, particularly in reading and math, as well as lower high school graduating rates amongst the girls.
Rob, can you pull up that one tweet I put up with our math scores, what it looks like.
If you just go to my, there you go.
If you just go there, I think it's the most recent tweet right there.
If you click on that, look at these numbers here, by the way.
This is trends in American mathematics, reading, and sciences.
Just click on the chart.
Forget about you.
There you go.
Okay, look at this, guys.
From 2003 to today, look at math.
Look at reading.
Look at science.
Constant decline in our test scores on average.
Tom, you follow these things very closely.
One, what do you think is happening here with boys?
I know Kim is fantastic with boys.
She's incredible with our oldest son.
The relationship they have is very unique.
They've had it like that for many years.
What do you think is the cause for boys being the way they are today?
And two, what do you think about when you see these scores being the lowest in a long time?
Well, let's flip it over real quick and I'll do the second first.
So the scores that are going on here have a direct correlation with basically digital distraction.
If you go take a look at the iPhone, internet, and things like this, digital distraction is causing, you know, shortening attention spans because they're snacking.
It's like, look at TikTok.
Bang, You go through all those videos.
So the focus and concentration in America's youth is going down and the effectiveness of the schools is not there.
And it's almost like the Department of Education wants to create a generation of people that are relying on the government.
Then there's that.
Excuse me.
So that's the first part.
Digital distraction, a lack of focus or concentration, and poor teaching leads to this.
Now, the other side of it now, you compound that with boys.
Boys. are naturally assertive and confident.
It is a natural thing in boys to be assertive and confident.
And kids that shrink back, the parents are looking at it and saying, you know what?
He's really not being like a guy.
Being a guy is, there's an assertiveness, there's a confidence.
Lead your family.
I mean, we're wired to go out and kill and bring home the meat.
If you think about that, you know, how we've developed through, you know, through history, that's what we do.
And the two things here that are, that are destroying that is basically the way education is being, you know, executed is poor and the lack of focus and concentration.
And now you create this nebulous environment in school.
And a kid who is a male that's assertive and confident actually faces headwinds of feedback, Pat.
You take your kid in a school today.
Now, I don't mean a kid that's disruptive or won't listen.
I'm just talking about a natural, assertive, confident boy.
And he faces headwinds of perception.
Hey, don't, hey, Easy does it.
Easy does it.
And so now parents are saying, hey, I don't think it's bad that he wants to play sports, assertive, confident.
I don't think it's bad he wants to be the team captain.
I don't think it's bad that he wants to lead.
That's his natural male wiring that you have kind of been short-circuiting against it.
So we've had all the social short-circuiting.
At the same time, you know, the basically development educationally has been going down because of digital distraction and the schools lowering standards.
And that's the two thrusts.
And notice how Fauci found his way back into this story.
The 2000, the pandemic drop is the steepest with these ridiculous lockdowns that they did for, it's funny that we moved on to another story.
That was an accelerant, but it was already on its way.
No, already on its way, but an accelerant because of the lockdown and the stuff that they did to children, I think, is real.
This is a story that I've actually been following very closely, being that, you know, on the show, the SOSCAS that I do, finance, romance, role of a man, role of a woman, who pays, what's going on, who's dating, who's getting laid, where are women, who's dating, where does money come into all this?
And it's sort of coalesced into basically what is going on between men and women today.
And it's very interesting what's been going on.
So you hear, you know, the song back in the day, I believe the children are the future.
The children are the future.
But over the last couple decades, what have we heard continually come from sort of the modern day matriarchy is that the female is future.
Or Beyonce's famous song, Who Runs the World?
Girls.
Okay.
And basically the demise of the patriarchy.
Right.
And tearing down the patriarchy.
And if you ever saw the movie Barbie that just came out, I counted the word patriarchy was said 12 times.
Okay.
13 times if you want to give them a baker's dozen, just for good measure.
But there's something going on where they're basically saying, hey, listen, guys, you've done enough, especially young white men, white men in general.
Thanks for all your efforts.
The ladies got it from here.
But what we know, I mean, when you look at the whole stats about single mothers and kids with single parents, that the best situation for a kid is when they're raised in a two-parent household, a nuclear family.
But if you just take away the mother and just the father is raising the kid, what do the results show, Pat?
Basically, zero difference.
Meaning, a father will do just as good of a job raising a kid, boy or girl, just the same as it is a two-parent household.
Did you hear this?
Okay.
A single father raising kids, boys, gets the same kind of results with the boy as the boy would get with mom and dad in the household.
And why is a single mother raising a boy without a father does not get the same?
Because there's no male, there's no man in the house.
It's what they call baby mama culture, single mother.
Single father households do vastly better than a single mother.
Here's the real thing.
He's laying down the law.
So what happens is in a single mother household, and shout out to the single mothers out there.
I know it ain't easy.
Kids are far likely to be incarcerated for a year.
We're about to give your number out.
I'm not sure.
Shout out to you.
My number is a little bit more.
Shout out to the family.
3130-340.
No, you know, I stay away from the single mothers.
That's not my thing.
Far more likely to do drugs, far more likely to get into, you know, the father's job is to keep his daughter off the pole.
Yeah.
Far more likely to do sex work.
Far more likely to have suicide situations going on.
It's just infinitely worse.
So if the goal of the modern-day feminism is to tear down the patriarchy and have this modern-day matriarchy, I just want to know what the world would look like when boys are not actually turning into men.
You know, men are supposed to be protectors, providers, being present for their woman, understanding how intersexual dynamics work, not turning out to be modern-day Dylan Mulvaney's.
It should be super concerning that men are not being taught to be men anymore or boys aren't being taught to be men anymore.
And it's being frowned upon to do what you're basically instinctually used to doing as a man.
Wrestling, fighting, being tough, standing up, you know, standing up to authority.
That's toxic.
Exactly.
That is all known as toxic masculinity.
So, and what's happening is that young boys are being indoctrinated to the LGBTQIA mafia.
One-third of men under 30 have not had sex for a year.
They're on their phones.
Dr. Scott Galloway did a whole dissertation about the scariest people in the world are broke, lonely boys sitting at home on their phone, playing video games on social media, watching porn, just being completely numb to the world.
If we want to help the world, we want to, you know, I believe the children are future, it does start with the boys.
Yep, I agree.
Awesome.
Okay.
All right.
Next story we want to go to is the math for buying a home no longer makes sense.
These charts show you why.
Vinny, very important.
Pay attention to this next part.
Here we go.
Here we go again.
All right.
So the surge in mortgage rates now at around 7% has driven up average monthly payments in the U.S., up 52% higher than the average apartment rent, 52% higher, and even higher premiums in major metro areas like Seattle, Austin, and Texas, where it's over 175%.
Damn.
Joe Biden.
Before the Federal Reserve began aggressively raising rates, a monthly housing budget of $2,000 could buy a home valued at over $400,000.
Now, with current rates, that same budget would only afford a home valued at $295,000 or less.
Despite rising rates, home prices have continued to climb with the national median existing home price reaching approximately $392,000 in October, the highest ever for that month and dating back to 1999.
This makes homeownership increasingly out of reach for many Americans.
Adam, look, man, this is something that I've been saying for years: that homeownership is completely overrated and overpriced.
I've been saying that for years.
I've been here.
Here's the freaking math.
And it's only getting worse.
Now, with that being said, if you have kids and you have a family and you want to have a school district and you want to have equity in your home, totally understand the premise of why you're going to want to look to buy a house.
I get it.
But there's a large contingency of young people, especially those under 30.
It would make zero sense for you to buy whatsoever.
Scroll up here so they can see the image on here.
I've been saying this for years, that buying is overrated when you just do the math when it comes down to taxes, insurance, maintenance, cost, upkeep, all that stuff.
Homeowners association, nuclear bunkers, all that.
But since COVID, it's become completely unrealistic for anyone that is basically looking to buy a house.
Crazy, right?
Okay, it is sky.
Rob, what are we showing that chart?
It's important for people to see.
You have to see this.
And I'll say this.
And I think we covered this a few months ago when we really, this number has really started coming out.
In 47 of the top 50 metros, it's not even close.
Meaning in every major city in America, it's not even unfathomable whether you should be renting or buying.
The three cities, top 50 major metros, where it kind of make more sense to buy are in Birmingham, Alabama, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I believe Detroit.
If you're not living in any of those three cities, you're going to need to take a hard look at renting because that's probably where the bed is.
Well, Adam, was there a concerted effort to make it like that?
No.
What the hell is going on?
It's just not supply and demand, brother.
During COVID, everyone rushed gold mine to basically the gold rush.
Everyone buy houses.
There wasn't enough houses out there.
They haven't built enough houses where the whole supply chain was off the Richter.
Tom Manny.
And there's just not enough supply.
So real quick, Adam said something between the lines that he mentioned.
He mentioned taxes and insurance.
When you add property taxes to this, this red line gets higher.
When you then add the insurance, I don't mean renter's insurance.
A lot of people have renter's insurance when they lease.
That's prudent.
But there's also the homeowner's insurance where you're ensuring not only the liability of somebody slipping and falling on your driveway, but the structure itself.
And the insurance is not cheap.
This space goes up higher.
Well, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
If I'm renting a house, doesn't the owner have to pay property tax?
Doesn't the owner have to pay that?
Isn't that kind of built into my lease or rent?
Yes, it is.
But you're renting from someone that's got a 3% mortgage and they bought the house years ago.
So their property tax basis is lower.
And it means that blue line doesn't move.
The red line is even worse.
And Adam mentioned it in his summation of all the other costs that go with homeownership.
That red line is even higher when you add the property tax and the insurance on it.
And now, every five years, put a $5,000 maintenance on it.
You painted the house.
You're in the Midwest.
There was hail.
You had to do things for your roof.
An air conditioner went out and the condenser had to be replaced.
The argument for renting is very attractive right now.
By the way, did you see this chart?
Check this out.
Percentage of new homes below 1,400 square feet.
Before, when builders, Vinny, were building homes, these investors were building homes for renters, the average size home they would build was 1,400 square feet or less.
Okay?
Today, builders are like, there's no money in that.
So I don't want to build any 1,400 square foot home.
So look at this.
1976, around 36, 37% of new constructions for new homes was 37%.
Then it went to 40%.
We're under 1,400 square feet homes.
Every year since 1982, it's gone drop.
Look what it is today.
7%.
We went from 40% of new construction for homes being under 1,400 square feet to now 7%.
Simply because builders are sitting, they're saying, man, this is from U.S. Census Bureau.
It's not like this is an article from Realtor.com.
What's the moral of the story with this?
Meanwhile, guess who's picking up all the properties under 1,400 square feet?
Guess who's buying them up?
BlackRock.
BlackRock is buying them up.
Weird.
Because BlackRock is going to own, they're going to have a monopoly in renting.
They're paying premium.
They're buying $250,000 condos and houses, and they're paying them $300,000.
Like, don't worry about it.
I'll pay $50,000 more.
It's okay.
I'll overbid.
It's okay.
Long term, everyone has to flow through us.
Wow.
They're going to control the rent market the way they're going right now.
And builders are not interested in building homes that are less than 1,400 square feet.
If I could just add one thing, something that I always talk about is that the American dream, people say the American dream is dead.
The American dream is dead.
I believe that the American dream is not dead.
I believe it is alive and well.
I believe that it's just changed.
What do I mean?
Back in the day, the American dream was that you would go live in the suburbs, have a nice house in the suburbs, white picket fence, two-car garage, 2.2 kids, a dog and a cat, bingo, bang.
Oh, there it was.
Nice school, nice school district.
Nice school.
Two cats, two cats.
But what happened is now these major urban centers have been built, whether it's New York, whether it's Miami, whether it's Chicago, whether it's Dallas, whether it's L.A., what have you.
People have moved out of the suburbs into the cities.
Okay.
You no longer need the big house.
You can just have an apartment.
You no longer need the two cars.
You can just Uber.
I know that's something we discuss.
We know that people aren't banging as much these days.
They're only having 1.2 kids, not 2.2 kids.
People are waiting longer to get married.
People are waiting longer to have kids.
So what's the point here?
For the young people out there that don't have kids, family, house, all that stuff like that.
I've said this a million times before.
I'll say it again.
The key to financial freedom is low overhead and high flexibility.
You might get a job somewhere.
You might move somewhere.
You might not be able to afford a car.
Three years ago, the average car payment in America for a new car was $5.50,000.
Now it's close to $7.50.
Rent, which was $1,500, now it's $2,200.
Everything's more expensive.
So what can you do?
Do you keep doubling down on what's making you broke?
Or do you do something completely vastly different from what you've always done?
That also includes college.
That also includes debt.
That also includes credit card debt, auto payments, mortgages, debt, Stay debt-free.
Stay flexible.
Keep your costs low.
And a couple of weeks ago on my podcast, I covered rent versus buying some of these statistics.
And one of the things I said, as I said, is once upon a time, renter was like a dirty word.
To say, oh, you're a renter, obviously, it was negative.
Now I say, do not think of yourself that way.
Think of yourself as being capital efficient.
Think of yourself of being enabled.
Think of yourself of being ready to respond to a bad economy if your job causes you to relocate.
Think of yourself as being flexible.
Think of it as a positive term because you're making a good decision and don't get conned into stepping into a purchase that stretches you and pinches you.
If you can do it when you get to a certain time and make a prudent purchase with your income, the income of your partner, whatever you have there, great.
But do not think of yourself less and apply that word renter in a negative way.
You know, years ago, Denver Post did a story.
I mean, their business section.
I love that article.
I put in the cover.
It was, if you type in Denver Post by David, I'm wearing this orange sweater that till today, I wish I wouldn't have worn, but I did it.
Denver Bronco.
It was a risk I took.
Look at that.
Look at that right now.
Wow.
Look at that guy right there.
Wait, can you zoom in?
Are those?
No.
Are those true religion jeans?
Look at those jeans.
Your belt bottoms are killing it, GPD.
It's out of control.
Bell bottoms are killing it.
Is this in the 70s?
He's hyping his conscious boots.
What's the story?
The title of the story is amazing.
Home buying.
Go with cold, clear logic, and rent.
This is what you're, by the way, when did I write?
When was this interview done?
Can you see what?
October 18th of 2013.
On my birthday, 10 years ago.
That's crazy.
Happy birthday, PBD.
Oh, man, October 18th.
I didn't even know it was on that day.
But so, yeah, this has been going on.
It allowed me to be flexible.
It allowed me to move.
We love this house.
Tico and Dillon were born, I think, in this house and the other house.
You want to laugh?
And look what I say.
You sold the American dream.
Exactly.
Can you zoom in right there?
That's the size of my apartment right there.
That's so funny.
Can I add one thing to this?
Tom, you did the cost-benefit analysis and broke it down.
And you said basically, you know, the home renting has been a dirty word.
I always say that the fact that the Realtor Association has done a great job marketing, you're wasting money, you're just throwing money away.
You're missing the American.
It all comes under one caveat, one super important caveat.
So if it costs $3,000 to buy and it costs $2,000 to rent, it all comes down to what you're doing with that extra $1,000.
That's exactly what I did.
That's what made me a millionaire: every single month that I was renting, I took $1,000 extra dollars, pumped that into my 401k, pumped that into index funds, bought Bitcoin, whatever it was.
If you're just taking that extra money and spending it, because I have extra money, you're going to end up broke, penniless, homeless, because you don't have home equity.
Well, here's what you got to know.
If you do go to the bar with Adam, you ain't mind the drinks.
That's true.
I'm going to whisper to everybody.
You're going to be minded.
That's true.
Not buying drinks.
Adam will cover the valet.
What a sweet game.
Always, always will get the valet.
I respect that.
And you don't buy the drinks when you own the bar.
All right.
So here we go.
Next one.
Alex Jones and Elon Musk.
After a five-year ban off of Twitter and X five year ban, he is finally reactivated after Paul Elon Run.
So Elon Musk has reinstated conspiracy theorists.
This is the NBC story.
Alex Jones' ex-account, formerly Twitter, after a five-year ban, Jones had been banned in 2018 and for violating Twitter's abusive behavior policy.
Alex Jones had previously spread false claims that Sandy Hook elementary school shooting was a hoax leading to harassment and threats against the victim's family.
Sandy Hook's victims, relatives, Sue Jones, when he gave one and a half billion dollar judgment against them.
Musk's decision to reinstate Jones has sparked controversy with Musk stating that permanent bans should be extremely rare.
Elon Musk asks Alex Jones about Sandy Hook.
And this is what it sounds like if you have this.
While they did this, it was at 60,000.
By the time it was done, there was 120,000 people live listening to this spaces.
Go for it, Rob.
I think at least the medium answer.
Look, I guess people just want to know, like, obviously it would be like heartless and cruel to deny a school shooting of children or to attack the parents or anyone who was involved.
It seems that that would be, you know, just incredibly mean and cruel, frankly.
So it's sort of, that's, I think, you know, what a lot of people are upset about, or at least they think that is the reason to be upset about it.
And, you know, if that were true, I think it would rightly be, you know, that's it with you.
Yes, sir.
Well, please let me just tell you what really happened, okay?
And if you want me to send you a dossier with clips and videos and articles.
I mean, post it to your account, you know?
Yes, sir, I will do that.
So let me tell you what happened.
I'm a guy that didn't go to college.
I mean, a few years ago, college, I started out.
He tells us this whole story.
This goes for about 10 minutes, Rob, right?
In it, he says, look, five years ago, I went on, this is quoted somewhere.
He says, I went on Joe Rogan podcast and I apologize.
I went on Patrick with David's podcast and I apologize.
And he's saying all this stuff on the, you know, what he did.
And then, you know, at the end, others get on.
They keep asking the question.
They keep asking questions.
There's sometimes it got heated.
You know, there was even Andrew Tate getting on with Musk.
Those are just a very fascinating Twitter spaces that took place with the conversations.
But for some of you that are watching this, I got a question for you.
Rob, maybe let's do this.
Would you like to see us do a live at our next PBD podcast live with Alex Jones and maybe a couple guests?
If you would like to see that happen, text the word podcast to 310-340-1132.
Text the word podcast.
to 310-340-1132.
Rob, can you put that in chat and comment section?
If you have any interest in us doing a live, live podcast at our 5990 live club.
And afterwards, maybe some of you guys getting a chance to meet Alex and ask him questions that you may have at the cigar lounge.
But Tom, what do you think with Alex now being back?
One, move-wise from Elon.
Good move, bad move.
And two, what do you think the people on the left are sitting there saying, how the hell can you give this guy the mic back for him to start talking and spreading his thoughts and ideas and opinions that he has?
Well, I have a remarkably succinct point of view here.
Number one, putting him back on is good for free speech.
Number two, it scares the hell out of Democrats who want to suppress the voices and control the narrative, especially in the election season.
But number three, I think him coming back on and him giving kind of a half apology.
I mean, you look at the guys on the Allen Pod.
They were split.
Sachs and Calicanus went back and forth on X. One of them very concerned saying that was not an apology, dude.
That was not sufficient.
And the other guy said, hey, you know, he gave us a story and he kind of laid it out there and they kind of went at it.
And I think that's sort of the voice of America on Alex Jones.
There are some of us out there that say, you know, that really wasn't quite an apology.
And the fact that it took him five years to get here and you really cornered him.
You did a good job on the podcast, I thought, with Alex Jones.
And one five years ago.
Yeah, I'm not saying.
He was upset on me.
I know he was.
And I'm not saying it because you're sitting here because we've been friends for 15 years.
Legitimately, I thought that you proceeded the argument in the right way to corner him because he needed to be cornered because he was refusing to really engage in talk and dialogue and kind of cop to what he did.
And so that's what I think.
I think this is good for free speech.
I think Elon just scared the hell out of the liberals who want to suppress voices about I'm willing to let voices go.
And they'd be like, ah, no.
And then Alex Jones, you know, I see how people are feeling there.
Half of them are saying, hey, I think that's enough of an apology.
And they're not enthusiastic.
They're saying, okay, I think that's enough of apology.
I'm not giving him a free ride, but okay, he came to the microphone.
And other people saying, not enough.
I think, obviously, and Adam, you said this before just about Americans love a redemption story.
I mean, five years, that's a long time.
We all make mistakes.
I think we all get caught up in this in this thing where people think, like, especially if you're a Christian, you're supposed to be like, I'm Jesus Christ.
No, I'm going to make mistakes.
I've seen people in chat be like, oh, a guy that says this, this, and this, but he's a Christian.
Yeah, hold on.
I didn't say I'm Jesus.
I make mistakes.
I make a lot of mistakes.
I think, A, to take a step back, what Elon has done, and I say this a lot, Pat, people need to realize what this guy did for humanity for speech, because those two twin brothers were on there too.
Brian and what's it called?
Krasenstein.
Boy, they're left.
They're hate Trump hating.
But to have a forum where we could all speak, because that's the problem that we're all right.
Two-headed narrative machine is what they are.
Yeah, no, 100%.
But the beauty of that photo right there, Tom, is Elon's letting everybody speak.
Nobody's speaking over each other.
It's a forum where we could all talk.
But to have, you know, some like Twitter, what, three years ago, four years ago, they would block you.
They take you down if you said anything that went against their narrative.
You would never see that.
That would never, ever, ever happen today if Elon didn't buy Twitter.
Yeah.
Period.
I'll add this about Alex Jones.
Some of the worst things that you could do to somebody is just dismiss them as, oh, they're crazy.
Oh, they're just absolutely wild.
They don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Being dismissive and just dismissing somebody because of one thing that they said that may or may not have been wrong, I think is very dangerous.
Now, was Alex wrong?
Alex Jones, absolutely 1 million% wrong about Sandy Hook?
Yes.
And he'll pay the price for that forever, literally.
But was he right about a lot of shit?
People were like, this guy's wild.
He's a conspiracy.
There is he's crazy.
Turns out he kind of actually knew some things that he's talking about.
The globalists are coming forward.
He predicted nothing.
Did you see the video about him?
He said 9-11 was.
Joe Rogan said that Ross.
Alex Jones gave me chapter and verse on Epstein Island five years before it broke.
Yeah.
And then what was the thing he went to in California?
The whole, what was the thing, Robert?
Bohemian Grove.
Yeah, Bohemian Grove.
Whatever's going on.
It's real.
So the worst thing to do is just dismiss someone like crazy.
What's the point?
I think it's a great move by Elon Musk, bringing him back.
You know, I always side with free speech.
I tend to be a free speech absolutist, even if it hurts your feelings.
Welcome to the real world.
Where I sort of draw the line is when it's inciting violence or, I don't know, maybe condoning genocide, sort of drawing the line right there.
But other than that, I think what he just said.
Condoning genocide.
So universities pan MIT, pan-MIT, and Harvard.
You know, it's okay what they're doing with that.
But then, God forbid, this guy says something.
Oh, you know what?
No, let's sue him one and a half billion dollars.
So what if all these people go around and they decide to sue the professors or the principals or the presidents of these three universities for a couple billion dollars?
Hey, you're inciting violence.
It's costing people's lives.
What about that?
What about if we do something like that?
Would that have the same merit?
I don't know.
But look, welcome back, Alex.
Don't be surprised if we, depending on the interest there is out there with us having Alex on a live live where some of you guys will get a chance to see him live, not just on a podcast, but live like in flesh, in person talking.
Maybe some of you guys will get a chance to ask him questions.
Again, text the word podcast to 310-340-1132.
Text the word podcast to 310-340-1132.
Next is Trump says he'll be a dictator only on day one if he was elected and people are losing their minds.
Okay.
Here we go.
So Fox Hoshon Hannity tried to serve Trump a softball question asking him if he would ever abuse his power as president and seek retribution against those who have wronged him.
Instead of merely nodding his head and agreeing that he will be pleasantly Democratic, Trump went for the controversial reply, except on day one, a stun Hannity recoiled.
Trump pointed at him and laughed.
Look, he's going crazy.
Except for, question mark, Hannity asked with a quiver in his voice, except for day one, I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.
That's not retribution, Hannity said.
I'm going to be, you know, he keeps, we love this guy.
He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you?
I said, no, no, no.
Other than day one, we're closing a border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling.
After that, I'm not a dictator.
So when you hear something like this, by the way, this is the clip.
Go on and play this clip here and see what Hannity's reaction is going to be.
Oh, because the media has been focused on this and attacking you under no circumstances.
You are promising America tonight you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody.
Except for day one.
Except for he's going crazy.
Except for day one.
I want to close the border and I want to drill.
That's not a drill.
That's not retribution.
I'm going to be.
I'm going to be.
You know, he keeps.
I love this guy.
He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you?
I said, no, no, no.
Other than day one, we're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling.
After that, I'm not a dictator.
That sounds to me like you're going back to the policies when you were president.
Exactly.
Because the me.
Reaction, Tom.
So here's my reaction.
The media loves this because it gives them something to do in kind of a, you know, the current season we're in.
It gives them a story.
It gives them something to push.
It gives them a Trump button to go after.
That's why they like it.
But let's look at the truth.
Look at what every single president does on day one.
What do they do?
They sit.
Exactly.
They sit at that small desk.
Most of them.
Yeah.
Biden in their underwear.
No, but go look at the pictures.
They sit at this small desk and it's a historical desk, piece of furniture, and they get people in a semicircle behind them and they sit there and they sign executive orders.
Ah, the abortion ban, gone.
You know, drilling in the Anwar, gone.
Afara, Afuera.
Afuera.
It's our own eyes.
That's what they do.
And there's the picture.
There it is.
There's that historical piece of furniture where they sit and they sign this.
And you see them, that is a folder, either for a bill or an executive order.
And they celebrate that on day one.
Every president does it.
That's what he's talking about.
I'm going to close the border with an executive order.
And Drill Drow Drill thinks I can avoid it.
That's what he's saying.
But people love to join us.
So what is he signing there, Tom?
Just destroy America.
Let's find out.
They roll right there.
Shit on the economy, open the border and ruin everything.
That's what he's writing.
Vinny, you could find the same picture of the last five presidents at that desk.
Yeah, I agree, but what was the difference between what Trump was writing and what this idiot is writing?
And look at what Trump is.
I'm saying if you want to think of it that way, then remember, we're supposed to pass bills back and forth, but the executive order is a loophole.
And so where every president is a dictator for a couple hours on his first day signing executive orders.
Look, Adam, to our friend Donald Trump, just friendly piece of advice.
Dude, you could run away, landslide this thing against Sleepy Joe Biden if you just be normal.
Don't say things like, yeah, I will be a dictator on day one.
You know what the media will do.
They'll eliminate the day one part and then they'll have quote unquote Donald Trump.
I will be a dictator.
Do you think he planned that?
Do you think he planned that?
He was in the moment and he's being funny.
That's my point.
I don't change.
Vinny, you're a comedian.
You know, I know you know a lot of comedians.
I don't find anything funny about presidents of the United States joking haha about being dictators.
This isn't Putin's Russia.
This isn't Xi's China.
This is freaking America.
All Trump has to do is be freaking normal for nine more months and he will landslide Joe Biden.
But no, he's going to go out there and promote being a dictator.
Adam, but you can't.
And do weird shit?
You think that's going to happen?
Hold on.
That's if these 91 indictments that they have on this guy, whatever the hell, all these charges on this guy stick.
I would have, I think he's being funny, but the same token, that dictator should have a drink.
Did you laugh when he said dictator?
Hold on.
He's hilarious.
We played funny enough last time.
Adam, guess what?
If they let, if the active cheating, active election interference that the left is doing as we speak, this guy's being funny.
He's being funny and he's saying, and he said it right out loud.
He said the border, the border, and drill, drill, drill.
This is a campaign thing because he's riling up his troops, Adam.
Magdaddy is dead.
He died like a dog.
We left the door.
Beautiful dog.
A beautiful dog.
I agree with Adam.
I'll wrap it up in just five words.
I agree with Adam.
Wow.
Guys, this is what.
I agree with Adam is forward.
You have to say, unfortunately.
I said today.
I got you, Adam.
Yeah, today.
No, I agree with you.
Unfortunately, Trump is going to be a dictator.
All Trump has to say.
No big deal.
Just, you know, we do live in a democracy.
All he has to do is no big deal.
But I will say this.
You're right.
All he has to say is, I will lead the greatest democracy in the world.
And on day one, I tell you what, I've got some executive orders around the border drilling.
He says that.
It's different.
It's so easy to do.
But because here's what's going to happen.
Listen, I know that you believe that Michelle Obama is going to run and that she's a man.
I didn't say nothing.
None of that.
I said she might be running.
I still believe that Joe Biden is going to be the nominee to the Democrats' peril, nonetheless.
Oh, I hope so.
But what's going to happen is you're going to have Barack and Michelle Obama campaigning out there.
Continue our legacy.
You already have Hillary Clinton fundraising as we speak.
I believe there's a story about that.
You know, Hollywood's going to get involved.
You know, the activists are going to get involved.
And you know, this is going to be a neck and neck race versus Sleepy Joe and self-acclaimed dictator Donald Trump.
Let me explain something.
All I'm recommending is for Donald Tony.
You're trying to scare.
Adam, he's a freaking comedian.
He's funny.
By the way, and if that's the case, and guess what?
If they see that Trump is winning, you're saying Obama and all them stumping from, I wouldn't be shocked if that movie comes to life and they do have a cyber attack from China.
But this is Donald Trump's personality.
Rob, can you play when people are like, we have beat this story to death?
Look at this dictator talking about when Joe Biden, your boy, said that he was going to take him behind the school and beat his ass.
This is what Donald Trump, the comedian, said.
This is a dictator.
I think he's in bad shape physically.
Do you remember when he said, I'd like to take him behind the barn?
If he took me behind the barn and I went like this, look at that dictator.
Look how funny that dictator is.
That is so freaking funny.
That was hilarious.
That is Donald Trump, and he's hilarious.
So don't take it seriously.
I'm just that, Vinny, I get it.
You're like tripling down on MAGA.
I get it.
I'm letting you know.
I never tripled down on Adam.
I know you are, brother.
No, I'm not.
The point is.
I love America.
I love America too.
Not as much as Donald Trump does.
You don't love him as much as Donald Trump.
Look what they've done to him.
The premise of America, Vinny, is that we don't have dictators here.
We don't have to say that.
So he was a dictator.
It was a joke.
Adam, you know what a dictator is?
No, Vinny.
Xi Jinping is a dictator.
Correct.
You think Donald Trump is going to be a dictator, really?
No, but my point is...
He's busting balls.
But the media is going to take this shit.
He doesn't give a shit.
Adam, they're going to go get him.
Adam, he could say, I love Jesus Christ.
You know what they're going to say?
He's racist.
He only likes, like, give me a.
They would say he loves a conspiracy theory.
Yeah, exactly.
Anything he says, they're going to go against him.
So he's fucked either way.
I know you don't watch what's going on on CNN and the rest of the who watches CNN.
I'm just, I'm letting you know there's another world out there other than the bubble you're living in at this point.
I'm letting you know the whole narrative is that he's just seeking retribution.
He's basically filled with vengeance, his rage and revenge.
He is.
And he's going to be a dictator.
I don't believe the dictator.
So him doubling down on that doesn't help him win soccer moms in the Midwest, you know, women, independents.
Those are the people he needs to win.
Dictator talk doesn't help him.
I'm just letting you know.
Adam, guess what?
Even joking, they jump on it.
But guess what?
I'm saying he goes off the cuff.
This is not a planned thing, but guess what?
Be ready, Adam, because if he does win, it's going to be four years of funny ass shit like that.
Let's go to the next story here.
So while we're on this, let's talk about what Wall Street Journal just said about Nikki Haley.
Wall Street Journal poll.
Nikki Haley leads Biden by 17, and Trump leads by four.
Okay, so if you want to go to the story, Rob.
Haley, a hypothetical one-on-one matchup with President Biden, currently has a remarkable 17-point lead, 51 to 34.
Of course, in order for that matchup to happen, Haley would have to beat former President Trump to the Republican primary.
And the most recent polls still show her trailing in the contest by 40 points or more.
The survey gives Trump a four-point advantage over Biden, 47 to 43.
It even finds that Trump, if Trump were convicted of a felony, he has been charged with 91 felony counts in four criminal prosecutions.
He would still only trail Biden by a single point.
The poll puts Governor Ron DeSantis dead even with Biden 45 to 45.
So Haley ahead by 17, Trump ahead by four.
DeSantis tied Tom thoughts.
Well, suddenly the Wall Street Journal coverage of our political structures sounds a lot like Brazil and Bolsonaro and the guy that was there that was in prison and got out of prison.
It sounds like we're having the Brazil election.
Pat and I know a lot about that one.
We've dove into it and have learned a lot about it.
But what's happening here, I find this, I have a little, I'm going to sound like Vinny here, like maybe I've got a little thinking below the surface here.
I think it's very interesting that the Wall Street Journal publishes this and all the establishment billionaires start lining up behind Haley.
See, she could beat this guy by 17 points.
She's had some establishment billionaires and defense people lining up behind her the last couple of weeks.
And I find it kind of interesting that that happens at the same time a poll like this comes out and it almost bifurcates it because it says, look, even Trump is convicted.
He loses by a point and DeSantis is even.
She's our girl.
And I just think there's a little bit of establishment stuff going on here in the Republican Party.
When is the Iowa caucus, by the way?
Do we have a date on that?
Is that in January?
I think January, whatever, January 21st or something.
Yeah, that's going to be a telltale sign of where this all goes.
Obviously, Trump is the favorite right now.
January 15th.
So we're literally one month away from the first votes being casted.
Do we have results of what's going on in Iowa initial polls right now?
Obviously, Trump is the favorite, but we'll see what happens with Nikki Haley.
I think Trump's 20, and then that's in Iowa or is that the national average?
You see that jump when he said dictator passes?
That's in Iowa.
Now, New Hampshire, Nikki's got DeSantis covered in a half.
But in Iowa, DeSantis has been focusing everything on Iowa.
This is a result.
He hit 99 counties.
He's working his ass off in Iowa and hoping that an Iowa win creates this momentum for donors and campaign support nationally.
It's not gonna.
Once he gets to New Hampshire and South Carolina, the gig's up and he's in trouble.
Who's in trouble?
DeSantis.
He's already in trouble.
But the point is, if he pulls out the second plate finish that says, see, I'm the choice.
And if this guy is so damaged that he's not on the ballot, I'm your guy.
That is exactly what DeSantis is trying to do right here.
That's all it is.
I'm not endorsing.
I'm just saying that's the play that they're running.
Not that I still believe that Trump's going to be the nominee.
I still believe that Biden's going to be the nominee.
You're going to have to actually show me some actual proof, not just made-up stories to be anything other than Trump Biden.
However, 17 points, Nikki Haley?
Okay, that's not a light number here.
And we know that Trump's ceiling, if you just want to look at the last two elections and look at actual numbers, is 47%.
Maybe 44.
All right.
So the margin of four points.
You're right.
I'm going to get the 47%.
I'm saying I held four fingers up.
Biden got.
Biden got to, what, 49 in 2020?
You know, right now he's polling at 43.
But to see Nikki Haley with 17 points, there's something going on there with Nick.
Do you genuinely think Joe Biden's going to be their frontrunner?
In your heart of hearts, you think they're going to pick him?
I'm just looking at what I'm saying.
No, because you're saying we're going to come up with some random thing.
I mean, Hunter's all over the news right now.
They're actually giving him a, which is shocking.
Normally, they would protect the shit out of him.
Joe Biden's name is involved in there a lot.
You don't think that they're biding their time at him?
And when the time is right, they're like, oh, his name was involved.
You weren't.
I mean, we're not.
Hold on.
Stop, stop.
Have you changed from a week ago?
You still think Biden's a nominee, right?
Yeah, I'll give the disclaimer.
I think it's a very weak candidate, but I have not seen anybody jump in yet.
Right.
And then just use your eyes.
Correct.
Nobody else has declared.
So until someone does something, I'm just going to go what's in front of my face.
And I'm unchanged, Vinny.
I've said Biden steps aside at the convention as a superdelegates move, and all of this stuff that you're talking about now is just the fire under the kettle.
And they stir the pot, and he's gone at the convention.
So you agree with what I'm saying then?
And then who steps in?
Your slick back careboy.
Gavin Newsome is going to be the guy.
Let me tell you.
Period.
We can talk about this on another podcast and dive into the problem.
Let me tell you.
It's very interesting that Hillary's in the middle.
You guys better pray that Joe Biden runs.
Why?
Pray.
Why?
Because Gavin Newsom would smoke Donald Trump.
Dude, let me explain something.
You better pray that he was a family.
You would smoke.
If he is the president, kiss your ass goodbye.
I would not vote for Gavin Newsome.
I'm letting you know.
He would smoke Trump.
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
Look at his hair.
He's in bed with OPEC.
Yeah.
I mean, you don't think Gavin Newsom would smoke Trump?
One way.
You know why?
That relationship with China pays off and they do some shit, nefarious shit to the country.
100%.
Yes, I agree.
Something would have to happen.
That relationship is sus as F. Gavin Newsom, doing that with China.
If that doesn't send alarm bells off in your head, then there's something wrong with you.
Who the hell is he to go there and then them come here and give them the royal treatment when they're here?
Look, I'm no fan of Newsom, but I also acknowledge the fact that that guy, on the surface, very attractive candidate.
Okay, on the surface.
And he is such a little weasel when it comes to debating staff that he will make Trump look very governor of a state that people are fleeing by the freaking jolt low.
Hold on, hold on, let me finish my point.
Is hanging out with a real dictator, an actual dictator that kills his own people, that has work concentration camps.
That's who you need to worry about.
Not Trump joking with freaking Hannity with his freaking part in his hair.
Vinny, I heard you the eighth time.
The thing that I think we're saying here is that.
Tom, you have some attitude today, Pat.
Do you see it?
I feel it.
Did you see that?
This is the second time.
Well, Vinny, you must be saying some ridiculous shit for Tom to get upset with that.
No, he's saying I'm repeating it.
Maybe you gotta check yourself.
I'm getting, Tom, you're sounding like if Dick Trump is annoyed by you.
Dick is saying that Gavin Newsom is the kind of slick politician that can work his way in and win an election in the modern media world that we live today with the combination of social, online, everything else.
He is exactly the corrupt actor that can get elected.
Yeah.
You better hope that Biden's health is what you want to do.
We're betting, guys, Adam.
It's not going to be Biden.
It's either, listen, take this to the bank.
It's going to be Newsom or Michelle Obama or Sleeper Hill.
That means you're encouraging Trump to lose.
What do you mean?
I'm encouraging him.
In my humble opinion, either of those two would smoke Trump.
No, I'm saying, Adam, okay.
No, I'm not hoping nothing.
I'm being a realist.
You're saying you think it's clear because Joe Biden's in.
You're saying we're going to come up with some random thing.
I'm telling you, I think it's going to be Gavin Newsome or Michelle Obama or a Sleeper Hill.
You should pray for Biden's health if you want Trump to win, is what I'm saying.
Oh, wow.
This is what it looks like now.
Uh-oh.
Correct.
What's it?
Haley.
What's it?
Haley is third.
Newsome is fourth.
Oh, weird.
RFK fifth, Michelle O. Looks up.
Michelle is beating Ron DeSantis.
Go lower to see who it is next.
Kamala, Vivek, Joe Manchin, 80 to 1.
Elizabeth Warren, all of the candidates listed 100.
Oh, this man.
By the way, listed 100 to 1, just so you guys know.
Vinny's in that community.
Thank you.
By the way, by the way, you know whose name is officially off that list that was up there?
Hillary Clinton.
Hillary.
Hill.
She's no longer on this list.
You see her there?
That's right.
Because she was on that thing.
Hillary, so too.
But okay.
