Why would you pet on Goliath when we got vegetated?
Value payment, giving values contagious.
This world of entrepreneurs, we get no value to hated.
I run, homie, look what I become.
I'm the one.
Holy moly, episode 397.
And we got a big announcement to be made today, by the way.
If you want to have dinner in South Florida with me, Tom, Adam, Vinny, and a few other friends at Casa DiAngelo, then afterward, in a private room in the back, treated royally, having some bison, having some incredible food, served, meeting the owner, having a good time.
Then we go back to the cigar lounge and having a cigar together, maybe playing a little bit of domino, a little bit of poker.
Who knows?
Having a great conversation.
Stay tuned because we're about to announce the first Manette contest.
And it's available to everybody because there's going to be different weight categories.
Stick around.
I'll make that announcement to you in a minute.
But first, let's go through some of the stories.
There's a lot of crazy things going on.
A lot of them.
Obviously, with what happened with Iran and Israel, we'll comment on that with 99% of Iranian aerial threats were shot down due to the dome.
Biden tells Netanyahu, U.S. will not engage in counteroffensive against Iran called Saturday, win for Israel.
And even though he told Iran don't, Iran didn't listen and they still did.
So I wonder how much that power of the don't, where him and Kamala saying it, Iran is really threatened by Hamas, still rejects Israel's ceasefire response, sticks to main demands.
Elon Musk thinks AI candidate could win U.S. elections in 2032, which is kind of crazy because nine years ago, I made a video talking about that the future president in U.S. will eventually be a robot.
Hopefully, if Mari can find that video and send it to me, I'll show it to you guys what that could possibly look like.
Audit, ready for the great state of California.
Guys, what's the most money you ever misplaced?
I'm actually curious.
What's the most money you're like?
One time I remember a guy comes up to me for dry cleaners and he drops me an envelope stapled to my suit.
I open it up, $2,400 of cash was in it.
I'm like, dude, freaking, I went back and gave him $500.
I'm like, good for you for just giving me the cash.
What's the most money you ever had missing?
$500.
Did the same thing.
$500, I got in crisp $100 bills to give to some of my cousins for graduation.
I got brand new $100 bills.
Put them in an envelope, put it in a jacket.
Couldn't remember what jacket I was wearing.
I was in a panic for three days.
What happened to my $500?
So, and then dry cleaners gave it to you.
What's the most you ever had?
I searched the closet.
Short story, three seconds, guys.
PVD, I'm Jewish.
I don't lose that money, but it's okay.
Well, watch this here, folks.
Newsome, California lost track of $24 billion spent to combat homelessness.
Newsome needs some kind of an accountant to track to how do you lose $24,000?
$24 billion?
$24 billion you lose, right?
Let me continue.
French first lady, Brigitte Macron, accused of being a first, maybe, you know, she called first lady, sues conspiracy theorists who claim she was born a man.
And Vinny's got some stuff.
Javier Millay goes and hangs out with a guy named Elon Musk.
And the next thing you know, he splits with Lioness girlfriend over work pressure, which he'll comment on that for.
Trudeau insists China did medal in his party's favor, but had little impact on Canadian elections.
But I won anything.
They were cheating, but who cares?
Unfortunate news, but ended up some progress being made.
Bishop, Marmari Emmanuel, whom we had on four months ago with Vinny and Georgianko, was stabbed multiple times.
The video footage will react to it, what the story was.
It's a tragic, tragic story.
Ended up positive, but it could have ended up being very nasty because there's two communities I would encourage to just be friends with them.
They're nice people, Armenians and Assyrians.
Just be friends with them.
They're good people.
But if you cross the line with them, there is a lot of rage.
If you go study the history of Armenians and Assyrians, there is a rage in that blood.
And you just want to make sure you keep them happy and friendly.
They're good people, man.
Syrians, Armenians.
Very, very good people.
All right.
Anti-Israel protester charged for threats against California mayor city council member in a video, folks.
She says we'll murder you.
Then you should see how bad she's crying when she gets 18 counts or whatever it is.
18.
You should see this thing.
It's absolutely wild.
When I saw, you told me yesterday.
Free speech.
And I watched it.
I'm like, consequences, baby.
Parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbly sentenced to 10 to 15 years, both parents, for involuntary manslaughter.
San Francisco psychedelic pastor.
Let me say that one more time, folks.
San Francisco psychedelic pastor says he can get people off of fentanyl.
Very, very interesting, but only in San Francisco.
Most people want to have sex with robots.
New robose study reveals tech executive predicts billion-dollar AI girlfriend industry.
I don't know what you're talking about.
So CNN contributor Ashley Allison blasted for saying OJ Simpson represented something for black community because two white people were killed.
What a weird thing to say.
And you work for CNN to say something like that.
High inflation is costing Americans an extra $1,000 a month.
White House, PPI inflation hitting 11-month high.
Tempers worries.
Inflation has been coming down.
But there's a little bit of fear that maybe that decreasing the rates by six times, definitely not going to happen.
Not five, not three.
Now they're talking maybe only two times.
And you've seen how the market reacted last week.
Tom will give us an update on that.
Watch this one here, guys.
U.S. high schoolers want financial education, but many schools don't offer it.
We'll talk about that.
Civil War, the movie.
If you haven't seen it, me, Adam, and Vinny watch it together.
I'm sorry, me, Vinny, and Tom watch it together.
I don't know, Adam, if you had a chance to watch it or not.
We'll comment on the movie.
Civil War.
Dr. Phil audience laughs after trans activists says three-year-olds already know who they are.
Tell me that is not the weirdest thing you've ever seen.
And who'd it come from?
Well, we'll talk about it.
Okay, thank you.
UFC Renato Moicano goes on epic pro-America rant after win.
Love it.
And freaking Dana White does it again.
June 29th, folks.
Uh-oh.
In Las Vegas.
Conor McGregor against Chandler.
By the way, those guys know how to fight and put on a show.
Both of them.
It's going to be epic.
We may have to go, by the way.
I think so too.
We should make a wager on it.
We may have to go.
All right.
Oil prices are set to rise as market braces for Israel's response to Iran's missile and drone barrage.
Biden got some good news from pollsters.
And we got a couple of the stories here.
Mars says abortion kind of is murder.
And I'm just okay with that because we got way too many people in the world.
Dollar has been the strongest since 2022.
Dollar hits 34-year high against yen and U.S. inflation data.
Okay, so those are the news that we're going to go through.
Let me go through the Manek.
Rob, can you pull up the flyer to tell you exactly what we're going to be doing?
So we talked about this and we created categories.
Here's how this works: we got experts and we got users because there's two ways to use Manek.
Oh, wow.
So on experts, those of you guys that want to go out there and give your feedback to others.
So if you look at, we put a hypothetical on the heavyweight side.
If you can zoom in, Rob, on the heavyweight side, as of right now, we ranked heavyweight as if if this was to be done, Dustin would have been first place.
These are people that have done 51 Minix completed as experts.
They have their own category.
Dustin would have been first.
Dr. Calvin G. I think he's about to cross 300 will be second.
Dennis Ponte, then it's Ben Pappas, then it's Chris Cuomo.
That category is competing amongst themselves.
Home team, it's me, Tom, Vinny, and Adam.
We're in our category, and it starts.
The content starts today, right?
But you don't compete against us because we're driving it, so it's unfair for having a home team compete with the rest of you.
Go to middleweight rap to go to the left.
These are experts that you're between 1 to 50 Manect.
Anybody that's between 1 to 50 Manex starting today, you're competing against each other.
And then there's a lightweight.
New experts, you're not yet on Manek.
Maybe you get on today.
Maybe you get on next week.
Maybe a new expert gets on.
All of those guys compete against each other, that they're at zero today.
Then go to the right.
Those of you that are not experts and influencers, but you want to ask questions, zoom out a little bit and Rob, go all the way to the right.
New users.
You've never used Manect app.
This is your first time.
But you want to get on and you want to ask a few different people questions.
This morning, I'm talking to a guy.
I did 25 Manex this morning.
Oh, pre-getting started because I have to clean up my Manex.
Great conversations.
One guy asked a question about family midlife crisis.
What to do?
I told him, Go talk to James Murphy, former F-15 pilot, who now runs a consulting firm.
Ask him a question.
I told him to go talk to a guy named Joe Pellin, dean of our school.
If you're trying to get your kids to a certain school, what questions to ask if you want to get your kids in school?
I told him, Go ask Kim Ellsworth, Tom's wife, who's a school teacher, can tell you how to interview for schools.
I told him, talk to Tom because Tom, if you want to find out whether you're number one or number two, investment bankers, Chris Pavlovsky, founder of Rumble, you want to go talk to Hollywood people, how they made it in Hollywood, how they pitched a script like a Chas Palm and Terry.
Cuomo, what do I do?
How do I, you know, go through defamation market, something like this, recovering conversations, interview, no matter what it is.
If you got questions, you've never used Manect.
You download the app, you'll be able to compete for how many people you asked questions of.
So this is a different category that's for users.
And if you're somebody that's already used Manect, you're competing in that category.
New users, you're competing in this category.
Here's how it works: top three of each category will be invited to come to Florida.
We'll all have dinner together at Casa D'Angelo.
We'll pay for the food.
We'll pay for the dinner.
Then afterwards, we'll go to the cigar lounge.
We'll spend the rest of the night together having conversations, networking, learning about you.
You're learning about us.
And then at the same time, you pay for your flight.
You pay for your hotel.
You come down.
We'll do the rest with the restaurant and the dinner.
Zoom out a little bit, Rob, so they can see the rest.
And that's Casa D'Angelo restaurant.
Contest starts today, April 16th, goes to the end of the month in May, May 31st.
Then this will be done in June.
So if you want to start competing now, download the QR code right there.
Start Manecting today as a user and an expert.
And every day, this updates on the website.
So if you go to that QR code, Rob, and show the website, every single day you get to the website, it shows you exactly where you rank amongst your peers.
Very simple.
Leaders bulletin for lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight.
Where you rank with home team, where you keep going lower, Rob, where you rank with new users, existing users, how many Manex you've done.
Every day you will see exactly where you rank, and your goal is to be top three.
Anybody that's first place sits at my table.
All the first place people, you're sitting on my table at Casa D'Angelo while we're having dinner and having conversations together.
So start Manecting today.
All right.
So, and Rob, if you can pull up the QR code for how to get the downloading of the app.
And there I am right there.
Oh, that's that, but that's Vincent O'Shan on the bottom right, guys.
Please Manect me because I'm in fourth place right now.
That's not fair.
But number one in our hearts, Vincent.
No, no, no.
I'm laughing.
I'm starting the bottom with the beard, O'Shaughana O-S-H-A-N-A-N-A-N-N-A.
I'm on the bottom right.
So I love you guys.
There we go.
That's the Manect contest.
Cannot wait to have dinner with you.
You'll be here about me driving this initiative over the next six weeks.
Get it out.
He's going to be driving it.
All right.
Sounds good.
It's on.
So let's get right into the stories here.
Story I want to get into is Iran-Israel with 99% of Iranian aerial threats were shot down.
This is coming from the Jerusalem Post.
Iran gave their threat on such and such day, we will be attacking you, right?
I mean, what an intimidating threat.
Just so you know, we're going to hit you on such day and such time.
Please be prepared because we don't want to kill a lot of people in Israel.
Make sure nothing happens because we don't want this thing to be nastier, but we want to say some face in front of our people so they know we're being tough.
That's kind of like what the interpretation I want to give you.
So at 7:15 a.m., IDF spokesperson R. Adam Daniel Hagari said 99% of aerial threats were shut down.
Zero of the close of 200 drones and zero of the 30 cruise missiles got through the territory.
25 of the 30 missiles were shut down by Israel.
Of the 130 ballistic missiles, only a small number got through.
Haghari noted that Yemen was involved in the attack with U.S. reports that America shut down around 70 aerial attacks using naval and aerial power.
The censor permitted published that the base, which had minor hits, was Nabatim in the desert, a key base for the F-35.
Biden tells Netanyahu U.S. will not engage in counteroffensive against Iran.
Call Saturday win for Israel.
And then cost of countering Iran's overnight attack, a billion dollars, according to Israel media.
Israel's interception of hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones overnight cost Tel Aviv Iran $1.35 billion, up to 5 billion shekels.
Israel media reported.
On Sunday, the daily Yudotet quoted Brigadier General Rahm Aminak, the former financial advisor to Israel Chief Staff, as saying the cost was estimated to be between $4 to $5 billion, which is the number we just gave you.
I'm only talking about interception to what the Iranians launched and not injuries that were marginal this time.
One arrow missile used to intercept an Iranian ballistic missile cost $3.5 million, while the cost of one magic wand missile is $1 million.
Adam, while this is going on, and Hamas still rejects ceasefire response, they stick to their demands.
They're not willing to give up the hostages that they have.
Where do you stand with this story here?
So there was one major loser from this attack, and that is the Islamic Republic of Iran.
You know how when we do the debates, you always on Twitter, you put the winners and the losers, right?
You've done this before, PPD.
So I basically did that.
But just to kind of give a little backstory, we know on April 1st, Israel attacked the Iranian compound in consulate.
It was like the consulate, backup consulate, whatever it was, in Syria.
But they killed two generals and a handful of soldiers.
Amanda Mohammed Reza Zahedi and Mohammed Hadi Hazrahimi.
Well said.
Thank you.
So this was a quote-unquote payback for that, but you kind of sarcastically alluded to the fact that it was sort of premeditated and sort of pre-disposed to say, we're going to do this to give red meat to the base because they wanted some sort of payback for the death of their generals.
We know what happened under the Trump administration when they killed General Solomon.
So the attack was certainly telegraphed and it seemed to minimalize casualties but sort of maximize the spectacle of it all.
But at the end of the day, Israel is going to have a chance to take a step back and respond.
And I think that they need to give sort of a measured response here because number one, what is the ultimate goal?
And I would argue that the number one goal long-term, certainly, would be regime change in Iran.
That is, I think, what everyone wants to see.
And my question is, after this, this is the first attack ever that Iran has done on Israeli soil.
Is this the beginning of the end of the Islamic Republic of Iran's regime?
So we're going to see what happens here.
Short term, I think Israel is going to respond in a matter of ways.
It could be military.
It could be cyber.
It could be economic.
It could be on bases or nuclear plants within Iran.
It could be in their proxies in Lebanon, in Syria, in Yemen, in Iraq.
We'll see what's going to happen here.
But certainly the biggest losers of this attack were Iran, the Israel haters, and the America haters.
Everyone shouting Israel.
And the biggest winners were Israel, the alliances that were formed between USA, UK, France, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
And we'll see what happens here.
Rob, can you do me a favor?
Can you go to X?
I posed a question over there last week that for whatever reason, I mean, it was illegal to ask questions nowadays.
Go a little lower, a little lower, a little lower, keep going.
Those are the questions.
Zoom in a little bit on those questions I asked right there, if you could.
Thank you so much.
Okay.
So I said a few questions in regards to Israel-Iran war.
Who benefits from this war financially?
Everybody, when I posted that question, they're like, well, you know, but I know what Patrick's talking about.
You know what my number one is?
It's called the military-industrial complex.
People want more wars, guys.
And I simply don't want it because as a child, I grew up in wars from the day I was born to the day I left Iran.
I lived in the capital of Iran.
I saw so many bombings exploding, whistling sounds that till today messes with me.
And a lot of money was made.
A lot of people died.
Half a million innocent lives were taken because of nonsense wars that benefit certain people.
We have to constantly ask those questions.
Number two, who secretly is instigating this war?
Who would you say is secretly instigating this war between Iran and Israel?
I would say us.
If it has to do with secrets, I'm thinking China.
Okay.
So let's say China.
Let's say us.
Russia's already said he's going to have the back of Iran.
He said we better not mess with them.
That's right.
Russia's already said they're going to back up Iran.
A part of this is also NATO coming out and saying we have to get, what do you call it, Ukraine to be part of NATO, and you're expediting the process.
You're pushing the amala for Russia.
You're trying to cause a World War III.
Three, who does this war impact negatively the most?
The people?
Citizens on the ground on both sides.
Innocents, the people that have nothing to do with anything.
They're not on any side.
They just want to live their lives.
Right.
Is Netanyahu baiting U.S. into a war?
By the way, Trump said something.
Trump said, claims Biden was convinced not to release message on Israel.
This is an April 13th story.
He alleged that the White House staff dissuaded President Biden from releasing a pre-recorded message on the Iran attack, stating Biden handlers convinced them not to release his taped speech on Israel.
He'll now attempt to do it live.
Trump criticized Biden's response, emphasizing this is no time for taped speeches, and asserted that such attacks wouldn't have occurred under his leadership, declaring this would never have happened if I were president.
Amid escalating tensions, Iran launched drones and missiles into Israeli airspace, prompting President Biden to assure Israel of support of U.S. support against threats from Iran and its proxies, stating our commitment to Israel's security is ironclad after meeting with the national security team.
So a part of, you know, if we have to sit down and put Netanyahu against, what do you call it, Biden, who is more strategic?
Who do you think is more strategic?
It's no brain.
The answer is always not Biden.
What are we talking about here?
And go to the last question that was on that tweet right there.
Go to the last question, Rob, if you could, is how does this impact 2024 election?
I don't know.
I don't know how this is going to impact 2024 election.
I can tell you how I process it.
So do you realize how tough of a situation Biden is in right now?
What do you do?
Because on one end, if you go pro Israel, then what do you do with the Ilhan and AOC and all these other guys that are coming out and Michigan and you need Michigan?
So he is, his strategists are saying, hey, man, be very careful being pro-Israel because without Michigan, you're done.
Because if Muslims flip on you, you know, what's going to happen there too?
Trump is like, no, this is where I stand.
Here's what we're going to be doing.
So he's shown strength in the interviews that he's doing.
But this is, I think it's going to affect impacting 2024 election in many different ways because a part of this has to do also with oil.
So if gas prices, this causes gas prices to go up, guess what?
All of a sudden we're seeing a little bit of an increase in gas prices.
Who feels that?
You may not feel that.
The average person feels that.
Yesterday, Dylan and I are driving back from his soccer coach that he had.
So interesting.
He says, Daddy, who does gas prices increase affect?
He says, is $4 a lot for gas?
He's looking at the gas.
I said, it's a lot for some people.
I said, it's a lot probably for 80% of people.
I said, okay.
He says, how about $10?
I said, $10 is a lot for 99% of people.
He says, you don't think $10 affects us?
I said, not us.
He said, how about if gas prices go to $100 a gallon?
I said, that affects 100% of people.
He says, why?
I said, because it's not just gas for the car.
Food has to be delivered.
Flight tickets goes up.
You want to have somebody bring anything to you.
Stores, clothing, ships, every single thing prices goes up, right?
So if gasoline prices go up, we're going to feel it everywhere.
So inflation is not going down.
You're dealing with all these different wars.
You're dealing with Russia, Ukraine.
Now you have Israel, Iran.
You're worried about what's going on with the involvement of all these other folks that are now doing this.
You got Hamas, you got all these political, and this is hitting you.
This can really affect 2024 elections.
That was the purpose of my five questions.
And yeah, and I know some people were like, why are you asking questions?
You don't shut up.
I think they're good because it makes people think.
And going back, by the way, all this is going on.
And Adam, you nailed it.
They bombed.
Israel bombed the consulate.
Iran has to show face.
They got to do something.
They know they can't go all in because Israel has nukes.
And they know if that shit gets ugly, we get involved.
Number one.
Number two, all this is going down because the United States has the weakest, most incompetent president in the history of this country.
Okay.
Besides the fact that they're egging on Iran, we gave them, we unfroze how many billions of billion dollars, I believe.
And then Kirby and all them are like, yeah, but they're using it for humanitarian reasons.
Really?
A terrorist, like, that country is using it.
Yeah.
BS.
Number two.
You know where Biden was during this attack when it's 72 hours?
Probably on the beach.
He went to vacation in Delaware.
They knew that attack was coming.
And guys, if any of you are keeping track of Joe Biden's foreign policy, it consists of one word that he repeats over and over.
And nobody, nobody, Iran, terrorists, anybody respects.
Rob, can you play this video?
Guys, tell me if this scares you.
Pat, ready for this?
Go.
President, what you would say to him if he is considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons?
Don't.
And I wonder what is your message to Hezbollah and its backer.
Right, Iran.
Don't.
Don't, don't, don't.
Okay, they're doing it.
Last one.
What is your pressure to Iran in this moment?
Don't.
Our American personnel is anybody.
Well, that's good.
Is anybody listening?
They're doing, they're doing, they're doing.
Everything that's happening in the world right now is because people voted for that guy and they didn't want the mean orange guy.
That's what you get is that type of leadership, and nobody respects us.
Period.
There's a little part of me that looks at this and thinks, this was a billion-dollar fireworks show.
Because if Iran is not aware of the UK assets, ships in the region, and the U.S. assets, ships in the region, and by the way, Jordan, we keep forgetting Jordan also has Iron Dome grade, Patriot grade air defenses.
They fired them as well.
So that you had the U.S., the U.K., and Jordan, and all of Israel's northern Israel defenses basically just picking these things off like ducks in the air.
Because this is anticipated.
This is one of the scenarios that Iran plans for.
Non-nuclear, conventional rockets and subsonic missiles over here.
Okay, how many you got?
We'll shoot them all down.
And that's what they did.
They shot down 99.9% of them, which proves that the system works.
So there's a little part of me that said, did Iran not know that that's basically going to be the outcome?
No, they knew.
They just didn't know.
I think they knew, but I think they had the safe base for the red.
It's like a red meat speech to their base.
We tried, we tried to go up against them.
And I think this was kind of a calculated move here to look good to that side of the community.
But then at the same time, you had China and Russia saying, we have Iran's back if anybody gets real upset about this.
What they're trying to say there is they didn't want an even more ominous conventional response.
They showed weak.
Iran looked really weak.
And I got to tell you, in a situation like this, U.S. is always going to take Israel's side.
Why?
Because it's chaos in the Middle East.
Israel is the only one that is self-sustaining, that typically takes care of themselves, and they love America.
They will gladly say good things about America.
Iran?
The other day, there was an Iranian guy walking around.
I don't know where this was, Magbad Ombrikan, Magbad Israel.
And Americans are, did you see this clip, Rob?
Inside or the outside one?
No, no, the one inside.
He's back to America.
He's saying Marikbar Ombrika, Marikbar Ombrikan.
He's getting other Americans to say this.
And it's like, that guy right there.
Yeah, I mean, what?
This guy right here played this?
And he's getting others to scream with him.
Death upon Israel.
Mark Bar Israel.
Death upon Israel.
Mark Bar Israel.
Mark Bar Israel.
Thank you.
So you heard that with the white girl?
What does that mean?
Death upon Israel.
And this is happening where exactly?
And then, by the way, by the way, no, Rob, go back.
No, no, go to the second.
I fast forward like 10 seconds.
And then says, hey, let's do this as well.
How much do they want to play?
Play right here.
How much you want to bet?
Can we get a white bar honriz?
Can we get off?
Mark Bar, Ombrita.
Okay.
There it is, guys.
There it is, guys.
Marbar, Amrita.
So let me say this to you.
Let me say this to you.
My friends, who you are Christian, you're Jewish, you're Muslim, you're seven-day, you're LDS, you're a Buddhist.
Tell me what religion you hear this being said by only.
Tell me when's the last time you hear Christians saying death upon anything and it's a chant at a church.
And you can go probably find one crazy guy that said it that was recorded.
But why is this a normal thing to be said from the other setting?
You don't dispute it and think this.
As a child who was raised in Iran, I saw this over and over again.
Marikbar Ombrika.
Marikbar Ombrika.
Death upon America.
Now that's okay to say in America.
Can you go to the other guy that the lady that goes to the marriage?
Let me read this story because it kind of goes with it.
Yeah, perfect.
Me here, anti-Israel protester charged with threats against California mayor city council member says it says to city council to the mayor, we'll murder you.
No, go to the first one.
No, go to the first one, not the second one.
Yeah, well, watch this here.
Tell me if this is healthy.
Go ahead, Rob.
I'm here to speak in support of the city council introducing a ceasefire resolution, specifically the one United Liberation Front has drafted.
I don't have faith that you'll do this.
You guys are all horrible human beings, and Jesus probably would have killed you himself.
And the thing is, though, it's very clear to me as someone who's been an organizer for the past couple years that none of you care because you guys don't care about anything happening in Palestine or any other country where oppression occurs because you don't care about the oppression occurring here.
And I understand that you guys are all horrible people, but the thing is, 2,300 people being evicted in the last year, those are votes.
And you guys, those are votes to win here in Bakersfield.
And while you guys parade Gandhi around as a Hindu holiday called Chaitra Navratri hit, starts off this week.
I remind you that these holidays that we practice, that other people in the global south practice believe in violent revolution against their oppressors.
And I hope one day somebody brings the guillotine and kills all of you motherfuckers.
No, no, that's not the main threat, though.
This is coming right now.
There's no need other than you don't like when people come and hold you guys accountable for introducing ceasefire resolutions because the only escalation in violence has been by you all.
And so there's no need to continue.
In the last five years, I've attended city council meetings.
There's never been metal detectors.
There's never been more cops.
The only reason you're doing it is because people actually don't care if you guys don't like them.
And they're actually resisting.
So you want to criminalize them.
So regardless of whether you elect people into office, they'll backstab you, they'll let you die.
And for that reason, you guys want to criminalize us with metal detectors?
We'll see you at your house.
We'll murder you.
Boom.
Okay, now watch this.
Okay.
Next speaker.
So this lady on the left, PBD, the lady on the left right now grabs that cop.
See the councilwoman all the way on the left.
She goes, hey, grab her.
That's a threat.
And look what the judge, the head.
Miss Patel?
Yep.
Miss Patel.
Yep.
That was a threat.
Boom.
Done.
What you said at the end.
And so the officers are going to escort you out and take care of you.
Good for you, Bakersfield.
Now go to the next video showing how she reacts to it.
Watch this.
Uh-oh.
Oh.
Uh-oh.
Death, murder people.
Free speech with consequences.
A deputy public defender enters.
She got Akbar before.
No, no, but PBD, she has 18 felonies and she's held on a $1 million bond.
So for everybody, I'm 100% free speech.
Say whatever you want.
Death to America.
Murder you in your homes.
But you can have it, but it comes with consequences.
So good for her.
Good for her.
Good for her.
Lesson learned.
Maybe she doesn't know who lives in Bakersfield.
Maybe she doesn't know what Kern County is all about.
Maybe she doesn't know Bakersfield and Kern County is one of the biggest conservative counties in all of California.
Yep.
Maybe she doesn't realize who her audience is.
Are you out of your flipping mind?
Bakersfield is full, by the way, most people don't know Bakersfield.
It's filled with a lot of great people who live in Bakersfield.
Tough people, hardworking, but good people live in Bakersfield.
But this is the question I was bringing up.
Who says this?
Who talks like this?
Who speaks like this?
If you see someone's kids speak out of character, like my daughter right now, Brooklyn, guess what's her famous line right now?
Here's her famous line.
She'll say, what the heck?
What the heck?
Daddy, what the heck?
What's she getting?
She's getting from me.
I say, what the heck all the time.
So guess what?
I'm the one to blame, right?
My kid one day goes to school and the teacher says, you know, such and such one of these kids used the F word.
I said, well, that's not us.
And he says, but your kid used the S word.
I said, no, that was on me because he's hurting me.
So he's probably what moral of the story is: people speak that language because it's coming from the community.
That is taught.
One doesn't wake up one day and say mad bad Amrika or mad bad Israel.
That doesn't naturally happen.
And it's accepted.
It's okay language.
Somebody needs to stop that because it doesn't make your community look good to say things like that.
And it increases the temperature at a time right now where everybody needs to lower the temperature.
We technically, according to, if you go tap in definition of world war, I posted this online on what the definition of world war is.
Just go type in definitional world war.
Yeah, definitional world war, right?
Definition of world war.
Zoom in.
A war right there.
Okay.
A war involving many large nations in different parts of the world.
The name is commonly given.
And then if you go to lower, it'll break you down for.
We're in one.
We're in one right now.
I mean, if you think about what's going on, we're in one right now.
But as crazy as this is right now, zoom in.
First of all, a war involving many nations of the world is a world war.
Hello.
That's Britannica.
We're in it right now.
But as crazy as it is, we haven't hit the tipping point yet.
Because the tipping point right now, if Israel all of a sudden says, you want to do this, nuke, no problem.
Yep.
Okay.
And didn't Netanyahu get on his plane and leave?
Oh, yeah.
He was airborne.
It was airborne.
And so if at any time all of a sudden you see Israel now saying you want to publicly do this to us, Israel's got a very strong military.
If Israel reacts in a way that I think they're capable of reacting, if they do, hello.
It's over.
Well, they've, no, it's over.
It's over.
God, and he nailed it.
If Israel gets pushed to the limit and they go, okay, with Iran, Adam, because guess what?
They have some nukes on their shelves.
Trust me.
One, I tell people this all the time.
Guys, I worked at a nuclear missile base.
All I kept hearing, if one goes off, pray to whoever you pray to, it's over.
Because everybody's going to panic in that moment and everybody's going to launch.
I'm telling you right now.
And going one question I want to ask you.
So that girl, she goes up and she says, if you do this, we're going to come to your homes and we're going to murder you.
She doesn't make a specific person.
She blanketed it, right?
So when somebody says, and again, free speech, go for it.
Keep saying it.
Death to America.
You're threatening the entire nation.
What do you think should happen with that?
Is it just the FBI watches them?
Is there any consequence to you saying death?
Because how can you let that person in society knowing that they want everybody to die?
Well, if I'm running whatever the unit is that arrests her, I want to know who is injecting that belief in you.
Because if there's one of you, there's 50 of you.
I need to go to the bottom of the person that's inciting that mindset to that community because you are never alone if you're dead.
If you have the audacity to talk like you're not alone, you're right.
There's many other people around you.
So we have to find out who's that's what I believe.
We have to figure out a way to change the mindset of the extremists and the jihadists.
Like I was hanging out with Muslim friends of mine this weekend, Saudi friends, Sri Lankan friends, and we're having a conversation about what's going on in the world.
Real impactful conversations.
And one of them admitted to me, like, look, I used to go to a mosque that was very extreme.
And I'm glad I got out.
Now I'm a businessman.
I believe in capitalism.
I live in London.
I live in the UK.
But they're out there.
And it's, you talked about how, you know, Israel, they love America.
The Middle East is so complicated.
If we haven't learned anything over the last 20 years between the Sunnis and the Shiites, who's our allies, who's our enemies?
You have ISIS, you have the Syrian, you have Bashar al-Assad, you have Iraq, they're our enemy.
Now that they're ally, Iran, they're fighting with Iraq.
You got Al-Qaeda, but they're fighting with these.
You have no clue who's who.
We think Saudis are a friend, but it turns out that they have the Wahhabism in there.
Potentially the attackers from 9-11, we all know that.
But the one sure bet that we have here in America is Israel, Democratic Western values.
So we know that.
But just imagine this.
99% of the missiles and the drones were stopped.
99%.
Because I think a lot of it was for show.
Sort of like how America has Hollywood and India has Bollywood.
Iran has fucking missiles.
So imagine if 90% was caught or 50%.
We'd be having a totally different conversation today.
Imagine if only 10% were caught.
What's your point?
The point is that World War III, depending on how Israel's Iron Dome held up, could be having this conversation that literally that's why I think if Netanyahu wanted the green light to light up Iran, they officially gave it to him.
Seriously.
Because right now, if he does, no one in the world can say anything.
Right now, if he does, he says, you sent how many to us?
I'm going to send the exact amount of missiles you sent to me.
I'm going to send to you.
Okay?
Go to Japan, go to China, go to Russia, tell them to build you up Iron Dome.
So I'm going to send the same amount of missiles back to you here.
Here, go ahead, let's see what happens.
Because what's he going to say?
Okay, Netanyahu does a press conference.
Here's a press conference.
I'm sorry for those of you guys that are against us.
What's the difference between them sending what they sent to us, but I'm sending it back to them?
How are you judging me, but not judging them?
Oh, but you started, but I didn't start it.
October 7th, you start.
This is going to keep going back and forth like this.
And I'm only interested in lowering the temperature.
That is all I'm interested in.
And every day you have to count until this November 5th day comes for people to realize.
You know what?
If let's just say November 5th, Trump gets in, and then whenever the inauguration is going to be what, in 2025, you know what the date is?
The inauguration is 20 years ago.
I think it's January 20.
Can you type in 2025 January inauguration?
January inauguration date.
Exactly.
Whatever the date is.
What date does it fall on?
Do you have it?
January 20th, 2025.
You're going to see minutes before that day, Hamas release.
I predict January 9th.
If Trump gets elected, January 19, or minutes before he gives a speech, Hamas releases those hostages.
By the way, if Biden cannot get them to release the hostages between now and then, Biden will go down in the history books as one of the worst presidents of all time, hanging out with one other guy, Jimmy Carter.
And Jimmy Carter.
They'll be buttons.
That's very reminiscent of that.
I'm going to go to the next story here.
I'm going to go to the next story here.
Okay, so there you have it.
All right.
Next story I want to get into is what happened with Bishop Marmari Emmanuel.
Rob, can we show the clip?
Are we able to show that clip on YouTube?
I'm not sure, to be honest.
Okay, so why don't you don't show when he starts doing it?
Just show when the guy walks up.
Just go to Twitter.
The video's been taken out in many different places, so don't show the whole thing.
But if you have the clip of him literally walking up about to, so here's Pastor Bishop Maramar Emmanuel on Monday night, Australia, Monday night, 7 p.m.
And we just had him on four months ago.
Incredible message he gave for Assyrians, me, Vinny, and Georgianko that was on here.
Play this clip.
The moment he's about to stab him, stop it.
Stop right there.
Okay.
So he stabs him multiple times.
Go back to the other Twitter on the couple of the clips.
If you can go back to my Twitter account and show the other video where Bishop Mar Mari is on the ground being attended to right there, if he can make this one bigger.
And this is him.
He's lifting up the cross.
is bleeding okay So he's moving.
He's in stable condition.
They end up taking him to the hospital.
Okay.
Now, you can stop this.
Go to the other clip, Rob, of the guy, the guy who actually stabbed him.
If you have that clip as well on the other side, they took it down.
I don't know why they took it down.
Did you download the other video?
Okay.
There's another video of him being talked to by others.
I actually have the video here that I can send you to show.
They're talking to him, and he's on the ground, and they're asking him in Assyrian, Mishalmanela, Mishalmanela.
Mishalmanella in Assyrian means, is he a Muslim?
They're asking him.
If you can turn on the Bluetooth.
That's the guy.
By the way, look at the face of evil, bro.
If that isn't a demon, I don't know what it is.
I'm sending the video to you if you can have it and show it.
He's saying Allah Akbar.
He was pretty sure nothing.
Well, listen, we don't want to speculate.
We're just showing you what the Mishalmanella.
That can be interpreted as he is a Muslim or it can be interpreted as a question.
Mishalmanela, is he Assyrian?
So you don't know which one it is.
So we have to make sure we give full context.
Okay.
So people are not saying we're choosing one side or another.
Because the first thing people said is they said he was a Zionist Jew.
That was the first reaction on Twitter.
People said, that's definitely not the case.
Yeah, just play from the beginning, Rob.
Look at this face, Tom.
What's your mind in it?
What's your mind in it?
He's a Muslim.
He's a Muslim.
And these guys speak Arabic.
These are Assyrians from Iraq.
Look.
But you got to see when they show his face.
Look at this.
What language are they speaking in Arabic right now?
Look what a smile on his face.
Look what a smile on his face.
He's not...
He's not happy.
And here comes Satan's helper's face.
People are praying you're going to come and do this.
You're going to fucking.
You're going to make it worse.
No, no, no, no.
So you see.
We saw him smiling.
Yeah, of course.
He was doing this.
So, anyways, what's the point of this?
By the way, most people don't know this.
Bishop Mar Mari took himself and I think 55 people from his congregation to Gaza in November.
So he goes to Gaza in November to go visit a Christian church in Gaza.
And he tells the story of a three-year-old kid that he sees.
And they stop and they talk to the kid and they gave something to the kid.
And then they went on the bus, they got money, they gave it to a bunch of different people.
He's given this beautiful message.
By the way, if you go on Twitter, the video is right below one of the ones I posted as well, where you listen to the message of what the experience was like going to Gaza.
He's given a unifying message right there.
That one right there at the top.
Is that the one?
Yeah, that's the one right there, Rob.
Oh man, it's too long.
I don't want to play the whole thing.
But he's given the whole testimony of what happened when he went there.
And then right afterwards, 5,000 Assyrians are protesting outside.
Let the man out.
Let the criminal out.
I don't know if you've seen, you have that video or not.
If that's the one, Rob, if you want to play that, go for it.
Uh-oh.
They're saying, bring him out.
Yeah, of course.
Apparently, there are some reports that they cut his fingers off on his right hand.
Vinny, how do you process this?
Well, first of all, I prayed for him yesterday.
I prayed for him today.
What an amazing guy.
Just going back and reminiscing on some of the clips from the PBD podcast that he was talking about, he fears nothing.
And he goes, if I get attacked, like just an amazing soul.
I don't get into the politics of, oh, he's in this church or that church.
He's a Christian man.
He's preaching the word of God.
And apparently, this goes to the testament of his character, Tom.
The guy, the young guy who was like, what, 15 years old that stabbed him?
He was 16 years old?
Marmar got up.
head bleeding, put his hand on his head and prayed for the guy that stabbed him.
Think about that.
And number two, look at how the Lord works.
Evil is ignorant.
This moron, his blade didn't open, didn't retract all the way.
So if you guys see it online on your own, he goes a stab and then he looks at the knife because it didn't open.
Talk about God intervening.
It could have been a lot worse, but apparently they cut this guy's fingers off.
That's just from Australians that were messaging me saying it.
It's just, you know, what evil, like we are at, besides just a world war, guys, there's a spiritual war happening with good and bad.
I know Tom wants to say something about it's a war on our kids.
It's a war on our minds.
It's a war on the food that we eat.
We are under attack from all freaking angles.
And that disgusts me that in the church, by the way, if that happened here at our church, that dude would have been shot 50 times.
Australia, I know they have very, very strict gun laws.
So there's nobody, that dude would have been shot in church within seconds.
Because you're saying somebody would be carrying in Second Amendment.
So you're saying you would be less tempted to do something like that in America where Second Amendment is available versus in a place like Australia.
100%.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Go ahead, Tom.
Well, I think this is just the atrocity of mankind.
And it's broken men living in a broken world.
And you've got people that are radicalized by a certain faith.
And that faith has at its core the extinction of others.
Anything that is an infidel is subject to extinction.
That's the simple way it is.
And you've got, you know, take a look at Catholics and Christians that are reaching out and trying to send missionaries into area to communicate the love of Jesus Christ and the healing power of Christ as a solution for the broken world versus let's exterminate our any anyone else.
And this this precious man who went into Gaza, went on a mission trip there, touched the lives of people, goes back to his pulpit, and you have a radicalized youth that comes to him.
And when I say radicalized, I also think about the UK research thoroughly.
Remember the subway bombings in the UK?
And they researched it and they found, what was that?
I think it was three specific radical clerics that were in northern London, I believe it was, that had radicalized and incented to violence the people that planted those bombs that were in the London tubes.
And that is, you have to go upstream to it and find out, you know, where is this issue?
And I'm glad that this cleric survived.
And I'm glad that he was very Christ-like.
You know, when Christ was arrested before he was crucified, you can read the scripture that one of his own apostles, Peter, drew a sword in a moment of anger and cut the ear off a Roman soldier.
His name was Malchus.
Christ reached up and healed the ear on the spot and said, this is not what this is about.
And so I compared that and this man reaching out and praying for him of deep respect and being Christ-like, even as he was moments from possibly being martyred himself.
Go ahead.
I'll add one thing and thank God literally that he's doing okay now.
This 16-year-old boy who they believe to have said Allah Akbar.
That's what they're saying.
That's what Australians are messaging me that.
I'm just going to come out and say, typically, rarely nothing good happens after you hear Al-Akbar.
It's never like flowers and roses and bunny rabbits.
It's stabbings and shootings and bombs.
But no disrespect.
I'm just, I mean, that's kind of what it's associated with.
But this 16-year-old, by the way, there's a history on this guy.
He was released for good behavior after a previous knife-stabbing crime in January.
Where?
In Australia?
In Australia.
Oh, great.
So there is a conversation, especially what's going on in Israel, about allegedly there's 30,000 dead.
They say that 13 to 15,000 of them have been actual Hamas.
I'm just, I'm sort of correlating the two.
But my question is this: they say that women and children have been killed.
As if a woman can't be a terrorist, as if a 16-year-old can't be a part of Hamas.
We're seeing this play out in real life.
And I have moderate friends who are Islamic, Jewish, Christian.
We have to figure out a way to eliminate the radicals and the extremists from society and bring them back to moderate lifestyle.
You've interviewed a guy who, I think, one time left ISIS, left Al-Qaeda, I believe, and came back to a moderate lifestyle.
You've interviewed a few people.
Yeah, I mean, listen, but even the debate that we did the other day with a couple Muslims that were here, and you know, we had a couple Christian guys that were here also talking, giving their perspective.
The Sharia law was one of the conversations that if a country is being ran under Sharia law, you would be killed because that's what the laws are.
And here's one of the most open, honest guys that's being interviewed.
And the interviewer is almost blown away.
This is in Canada, I believe.
And he's like, wow, I actually appreciate the fact that you're being straight up honest.
Watch this right here.
Go ahead, Rob.
What happened to a gay couple in Palestine, sir?
What?
What would happen to a gay couple in Gaza?
Executed according to Islamic law.
Islam doesn't endorse gayism.
Islam doesn't endorse homosexuality.
Just like Canada doesn't endorse a lot of things.
So would you like to see Sharia law in Canada replace Canadian law?
At some point it will.
You know, because we are we have families, we are making babies.
You're not your population is going down the slump, right?
And by 2060, by 2060, according to Pew Research Institute, your research, by 2060, Muslims will be the biggest religious group the world over.
What are you going to do then?
Actually, even then, you know what?
I'm very appreciative of the honesty.
We don't usually get that.
One day we can have a Muslim regarding action here in Canada.
Right in your face.
Right.
Well, it's coming.
By the way, by the way, saying it out loud.
FYI.
Okay.
Christians, Jews, everybody else.
What are you going to do about it?
Yep.
You're going to sit there and cry or still stay?
Well, we just want to have one baby because we want to enjoy our time together and we don't want to have too many kids because it's so hard.
Perfect.
Then in 2060, he's right.
That's exactly what's going to happen.
You want to do something about it?
Go make some money, raise good kids, have four, five, six kids.
That's what's going on with them right now.
They're having the kids and you're not.
So while somebody can sit there and be like, oh my God, what's going to happen?
You know, even a Bill Maher, oh my God, what's going to happen?
Guess what, Bill Maher?
Even you, you ain't contributing to this.
How many kids you raise in?
You're not.
You're taking a completely different route.
And by the way, that's by choice.
Not the fact that I'm not talking to the people that can't because of health and what do you call it?
You know, certain matters that you're getting out of marriage.
It's very difficult, guys.
It's very complicated.
I got a lot of people that spend a lot of money.
Schultz did an entire skit at his comedy thing, which you have to see that he was very open and talk about how hard it is to have a freaking kid.
He's like, I was always worried about getting a girl pregnant.
I realized how hard it is to try to get my wife pregnant.
But I'm talking to the people who watch something like this and then go and get angry.
That's exactly what they're going to be doing.
Sharia law.
Then do something about it.
Yesterday, I'm being interviewed by this guy that was employee number 30 at Facebook.
And he comes in.
We have a great conversation together.
Fascinating guy.
And he was just doing a photo shoot with his wife.
You know, first baby they're having.
And they're kind of, you know, the pictures you take while you're pregnant with the belly shown and all this stuff.
Maternity.
Maternity pictures.
I mean, we've done all of them ourselves as well.
And it's really cool.
You got to go.
He's telling me about this person who took me a marine and all this stuff.
And her and her husband chose to become photographers.
They make six figures doing this.
And he says, you know what I like about listening to you?
I said, what's that?
He says, I love how you sell America.
I said, how do you sell America?
He says, I don't know, but I think the way I sell it is I hire immigrants.
I said, we just need to be proud to sell Americans.
Because we were talking about the level of respect we have for Khabib.
Okay?
I'm in the back.
I'm talking to Khabib, Ali.
I'm friends with a lot of Muslims.
We have very, very good relationships together, and we have different denominations.
And when I sit with these guys and they're talking about they're having five, 10 kids, they have pride in their faith, they have pride in their country, they have pride in their God.
You don't have to agree with them.
That's a religious debate.
But guess what?
The faith that they have and the pride that they have in their religion, do we have that same level of faith and pride in our religion?
The same level of pride and faith in our country, the fact that America is the greatest country in the world.
Do we sell it that way?
Because I don't think we're doing a good job selling it the right way when it's scaring the crap out of the next generation of wanting to have kids and have a family and settle down.
There is fear in people wanting to have kids.
So yes, as much as that guy is right, according to Peer Research, by 2060, they're going to be ruling the world and turning a lot of different countries into Sharia.
But what are you going to do about it?
Yeah, exactly.
And you nailed it.
Because you mentioned Bill Maher, who's not only, oh, kids, oh, he hates kids.
Okay.
But he complains about Muslims.
Oh, he complains about exactly.
What are you doing about it?
He complains about Muslims.
And then, you know what he said about the abortion thing?
He's like, well, what's the story, PBD, about abortion?
Let me read this.
Please, yeah, please.
This is just Bill Maher talking all this shit about Muslims.
They are already, dude, they're playing the long game.
All right.
All you guys are talking shit out there, mind you.
And again, I have no kids.
I'm obviously on the market.
Obviously, I'm trying to do my thing.
But once I start having them, I'm not going to just have one.
I'm going to go for the gusto.
You know what I mean?
These guys, that guy's open in your face and telling you what the hell the plan is.
That's the plan.
I'm happy that the reporters shot.
But the part, like what I'd like to see happen is just like when a team is behind Tom in sports, what's the first thing you got to do?
You call a timeout.
The Christian churches of all the different denominations.
Imagine if the leaders of every major church and denomination that believes in Jesus Christ, if they all came together, and even Jews and even whoever, that maybe you're worried about this direction it's going, that we're going to have a mad battle, Umrika, mad battle, Israel, all this stuff that's being said left and right, Sharia law.
Okay, what if there's an emergency meeting to have more kids, encouraging from the congregation from the top to start having people having more kids, raising better kids?
Is that conversation mean out?
I can tell you for a fact that I would be very, first of all, we can't even get them to be on the same page to be united, but I'd be very doubtful that that conversation is being had.
Maybe some pockets here and there, but I'd be very doubtful that that's the strategy.
They're doing their part.
And as an opponent, you got to give them credit.
They're out producing babies.
They're growing like crazy.
And they're not slowing down anytime soon.
Tom, final thoughts before I go to the next story.
You know, the Lord said, be fruitful and multiply.
And in the book of Psalms and Proverbs, he talks that it is a blessing to have many children around you.
And we've seemed to have lost that in an era of self-sufficiency.
I forgot what a blessing it is to have a wonderful family around us.
And we've traded self-sufficiency for that blessing.
And this is one of the consequences that we're going to face.
Adam, short.
As much as I agree with you on the kids, I do agree.
But there's also a bigger context here, and that is Western values.
You can't move here from countries that you escaped and fled because you don't agree with what they stand for.
And then you escape to America or Canada or to Australia or to Norway or to Sweden or to Netherlands and then try to insinuate and push your values, Sharia law, into Western society.
That's what they're talking about, a clash of cultures.
You came to these societies for a reason.
Appreciate that.
And that's all I got to say.
Yeah, if you're here, you better back up, America.
If you're not here, go somewhere else.
If you work for a company you don't like, go to a different place.
But go wherever you go, defend that company.
Anyways, I've got a bunch of different stories.
We're on fire right now.
Reminders to everybody for the Manek contest.
Rob, if you can pull that up.
Download Manect.
Ask questions of people.
So many times people DM others on LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter.
You never hear anything back.
The reason for it is because the other influencer and expert values their time on Maneck, you get to pay to get people to respond back to you.
One of the things we put up on Manekt app, which I love, you can go to any expert and see how quickly they respond, what percentage of the time.
And you'll see some of the guys will be 100% within one day.
Some of the people will be 70% three days.
On Manect, on average, 85% of the time, you get a response back from people because you're paying for them.
And we just announced a Manek contest to come to South Florida and have dinner with us at the legendary Casa DiAngelo restaurant on the house.
We'll pay for it.
And then afterwards, we'll go to our cigar lounge, have a bunch of cigars, conversations, poker, domino, and all the Manectors get to collaborate together.
And simultaneously, we have a contest that we're running.
Lightweight is anybody that's never downloaded the app before and they've never done a Manek before.
Middleweight is anybody between 1 to 50.
Heavyweight's going to be the ones that have done 51 plus Manex.
We already listed out some of the names right now.
Dustin, Calvin, and G, Dennis Pontev, Ben Pappas, Chris Cuomo, home team.
It's going to be us competing.
Then new users.
You're not an expert.
You just have a lot of questions.
Whoever asks the most questions, new signups versus those who are existing users.
If you've never used it, you're competing in this category.
If you have used it, you're competing in the other category.
And every day this leader's bulletin updates, the top three get invited to come to Florida.
You pay your flight, you pay your hotel.
We take you out to dinner at Casa.
Then we go to the cigar lounge together and spend a few hours to get a number one in each category.
We'll sit at the head table with me, but top three will be invited.
And we will most likely do a raffle for each category that will pull somebody out.
And again, you'll be with myself, Adam, Vinny, Tom, our crew, and we'll show you around all the other things that we're doing as well.
Cannot wait to see you guys there.
That QR code on the top right shows the leaders bulletin on every day.
It'll be updated to see where you rank.
If you can go on the leaders bulletin, Rob, so people can see it.
Every day you'll have an update on Manect's leaders bulletin to see who you're competing with at what level.
Again, go to the other QR code for them to download the app so they can get started.
Go on Apple, Droid, download the app Manect.
Start Manecting today, and hopefully we'll get a chance to have dinner together.
This contest starts today, April 16th, ends May 31st, and their dinner will be a date we'll send to the people that qualify in June.
So looking forward to seeing you guys compete for this with Manek.
Next story.
California.
Here we go.
California lost track of $24 billion spent to combat homelessness, homelessness.
Imagine how much money you've lost before that you kind of lost track of.
I said $2,400 cash.
My dry cleaners gave it to me.
Vinny said $500.
Tom said $500.
Adam said never in a million years.
But Gavin Musom is the GOAT.
A recent California state auditor report reveals that the state lost track of $24 billion spent over the past five years to address homelessness.
Lead auditor Grand Parks emphasized the lack of sufficient data to prove the fund's efficacy in improving the crisis, improving a crisis, stating that the state has not collected sufficient data.
The audit criticized the California Interagency Interagency Council on Homelessness for its failure to consistently track and evaluate the state's efforts in combating homelessness.
It noted that Cal ICH has not aligned its action plan to end homelessness with its statutory goals to collect financial information and ensure accountability.
This is why people don't trust giving money to taxes because you don't know what to do with the money when you do receive it and results.
Raising concerns about accountability.
Assemblyman Republican leader James Gallagher criticized Governor Gavin Newsom directly, accusing him of making a splashy announcement, wasting a bunch of taxpayer money and completely failing to deliver.
Tom.
Excuse me.
They know exactly where this money went.
They know exactly what they did with it.
We were talking, remember, if it's a bill, it's basically a fraud lasagna.
That's what, remember, we talked about that.
The bill on, this is the border bill.
You know, $60 billion and $12 billion was going to the border or whatever those numbers went.
And in the middle, it's a fraud lasagna.
California knows with this.
They made a bill there for California homelessness.
And if you came in and did an audit of this, you would find out what they really spent it on.
And like the federal government, this thing was probably riddled with earmarks when it went elsewhere.
And so what they don't want to do, they don't want to talk about what they really did with the money.
So they're just saying, well, we lost it and we can't keep track of it to combat homelessness.
And now finally somebody, Breitbart, you know, this isn't going to be local news.
This isn't going to be CNN.
They're going to protect Gavin Newsom, their anointed man-in-waiting to run for president.
And so this is a fraud.
The taxpayers should call it what it is.
You spent $24 billion on something and you don't want to tell me.
You don't want to tell me.
You know what's crazy, Tom?
$24 billion, no one gives a shit.
But for $20 billion to protect the border, oh my God, there's no way we can do that.
Wait, was our map half of that?
They could have built the wall for the bill.
For $5 billion, but I say overspent.
$20 billion, you could have built a border and you could have combated many different things.
But California gets $24 billion and they can't keep track of the money.
And then you expect people to trust, like the other day Biden says, if we are able to create a wealth tax and we gather half a billion dollars over the half a trillion dollars over the next 10 years from the billionaires, are we going to be able to do such great things with that money?
And all I said is, do you have a track record of doing anything with the money we're giving you?
And especially in the state of California, $24 billion given to you to fix homelessness and you can't fix it?
And you lost track of the money?
You think you have any moral authority with anybody?
No wonder so many people are leaving this great state of California and sick of your bullshit.
And guess what?
Californians, you guys had a chance to recall this snake in the grass Newsom.
And just look at his resume.
I hope everybody's keeping track because again, that face isn't going away.
All right.
Just all the drugs that are happening.
I remember I did jury duty downtown, PBD, and as I was coming down to go to my train, I'm coming up.
Some young kid is shooting up heroin and pulling out and then sucking the heroin out of his arm.
And a cop just walks by.
Nobody cares.
Nobody's stopping him.
Look at all the immigration problems that they're having.
All the, you know, kissing China's ass, doing everything.
And now he has this.
And by the way, I sent Rob this video of Gavin Newsom's 16-year, which is today, 2024, of his 10-year plan to end homelessness.
Look at this.
Look at this snake and all of his BS coming out of his mouth.
What we call a 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness in San Francisco.
How are you going to call homelessness?
What are you going to do?
He's a new mayor.
And I say, well, what are you going to do?
Focus on a housing first model, direct access to housing, shelter, solid sleep, housing with wraparound and support services, solve homelessness.
Homelessness absolutely can be solved.
Laid out a detailed homeless strategy.
There's been no intentionality on homelessness in the state for decades.
It's not been a focus.
I don't think we can solve homelessness.
I know we can solve homelessness.
We will reduce street homelessness quickly and humanely through emergency action.
The highest investment the state's ever made is $1 billion on homelessness.
We are poised to pass a budget in the next few hours that will provide $12 billion of investment.
Still looking literally.
All the money in the world.
You can't fix it, buddy.
Just the money.
This is Bill Maher.
Bill Maher loves him to run for president.
So, California's, that's what you keep voting for.
That's what you're going to get.
Vinny, it's time for fun with math.
Are you ready?
Yes.
How many homeless people are in California in February 2024?
151,000.
Oh, no.
It's 181,000.
181,000.
And if 181,000 people split $24 billion, that would be $132,000 per person.
And if they got together in pairs, they could buy an average home in California.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, but they're not.
So where's all that money?
They're not homeless anymore because every two of them now together are.
When you get $24 billion, that $24 billion, a lot of it's going to go to people that are going to get a job working for the government.
You don't put the $24 billion into people.
Are you kidding me?
You think that's what they're going to be doing?
No, they're going to use that money in the middle.
I feel like in California, I feel like it's the movie Grandfrog Day.
Every time we talk about California, it's something nonsensical.
The crime, the theft, the homelessness, the regulation, the taxes, people are leaving.
It's just like the U-Haul, Gavin Newsom.
And then they always say, well, we're our top five GDP in the world.
We have a bigger economy GDP than India and the UK.
It's like, yeah, that's all in Silicon Valley and in Hollywood.
And mind you, Adam, all these people, all these Bill Mahers that are like, I love the guy.
I love him.
All these elites aren't affected by any of this.
They're millionaires and they're in the hills.
No homeless people bother them.
They're not getting looted.
They're not getting robbed because they have security out of the ass.
We can't do this.
What I'm about to say.
But I would love to get 100 people listening to Gavin Newsome at a speech, and we all just throw calculators at him.
Oh, yeah.
But the most ironic thing out of all of this is despite Biden being the nominee, Gavin Newsom is still the fourth best bet to be the nominee in 2020.
Jesse Waters said it right.
You know, he's got the look, he's got that feel, he's got that thing.
And if the American populace only wants to think an inch deep, then a guy like that could be pretty much period.
And by the way, in San Francisco, only in San Francisco will you get a psychedelic pastor that says he can get people off of fentanyl.
Pastor Dave Hodges, can you actually let's see what this guy looks like, Rob.
I'm actually curious to know what he looks like.
Founder of the Church of MM.
Hi guys.
Someone's like, Rob.
Hey, Rob, wait a minute, founder of the Church of Ambrosia in San Francisco, operates what is technically the largest megachurch in the U.S.
I dictate.
With 106,000 members across two locations for a membership fee of $10 and a $5 entrance fee, congregants gain access to cannabis, magic mushrooms, and DMT, substances Hodges believes have spiritual significance.
Hodges asserts the sacraments we use help people get off of drugs despite the legal ambiguity surrounding psychedelics.
Hodges argues that their use is a deeply spiritual experience protected by law.
He believes that such substances could help combat America's opioid crisis, particularly in areas like San Francisco where fentanyl overdoses are rampant.
Hodges emphasized the need for understanding one's purpose, stating, your soul did not come here to be addicted to fentanyl.
Adam, it looks like you want to say something.
I'm just saying, it's wild here.
Five years, the Church of Ambrosia has amassed 106,000 members across two locations.
But here's the thing: it's double of Texas's Lakewood Church led by evangelist Joe Osteen.
When I see Joel Osteen do his thing, it's like, whoa, it's like a Super Bowl stadium.
It's packed.
This guy's doubling up on him.
Bro, you have to.
Let me read it differently.
Can I read it differently?
In five years, the Church of Ambrosia has amassed 106,000 voters across two locations in Oakland and San Francisco that are on mushrooms.
Well, no wonder they elected Captain Newsome.
The California voters are stoned out of their minds.
Can you imagine being in a church, stoned and high, and seeing Jesus on the crucifix?
Like, how are you losing your mind?
I'm pretty sure it was Jesus, actually.
Oh, my God.
I have a buddy that owns the Church of Cannabis in Denver, my buddy Steve.
He actually ran for mayor of Miami.
What I'll tell you is this: there's a big difference between cannabis and mushrooms and then like hardcore meth heroin.
Of course.
Nobody smokes it.
Yeah, there it is right there.
Shout out to you, Steve.
Nobody smokes a joint and does anything wild.
They're just like, let me just sit here and ain't do shit.
I'm worried about hardcore drugs.
What's going on in Oregon chocolate?
Where they legalize criminalists, all drugs.
And people are shooting up on the streets.
I'm not taking communion and anything that looks like that.
Let me show you this next thing here.
Dr. Phil audience laughs after trans activists says three-year-olds know who they are.
Sandy Moore, a transgender activist, confidentially, confidently claimed during a Dr. Phil episode that at three, four, five, they know who they are in reference to children's understanding of their gender identity.
Rob, if you can pull up this video, provoking laughter from the audience when pressed about the age at which children supposedly understand their identity, Moore reiterated, and I'll let you watch the clip.
Go ahead, Rob.
Well, if children know who they are, which they do, and their parents seek out the information to help them be happy in their skin, who are you to block them from doing that?
I think the important question was if children know who they are.
Children do know who they are.
Really?
At what age?
At three, four, five.
They know who they are when they're twisting and twirling.
They know who they are.
I wish that when I started my transition, I was able to transition earlier in life because that helps you be more feminine or more masculine by using the blockers.
You know, that helps people blend in society more.
Can I say something about the idea that kids know who they are?
I think the very existence of detransitioners shows that that's not true.
Because these kids arrived at the clinic confident, 100% convinced that they knew who they were.
Their parents were 100% convinced, apparently because they gave consent, that these treatments are correct.
And yet, these kids, very shortly after they got double mastectomies or subjected their bodies to irreversible, often sterilizing treatments.
And by the way, if you do the full course of medical transition, even just hormonal, it is guaranteed chemical castration for the rest of your life.
And these kids went into that office knowing who they are, and yet very quickly after that regretted it.
And no less important, the doctors who saw them were convinced that these kids know who they are.
And they got it.
But how often does that happen?
Okay, so great question.
Now he tells me that in order to have a good, reliable picture of the rates of detransition, we're going to have to wait at least another decade, probably too.
That's, by the way, what clinicians in Europe are saying now, because regret can take a long time to manifest.
If you got your breast amputated at the age of 15, the full consequences of that may not be apparent to you until you're in your mid-30s and can't breastfeed.
But current research does show, I mean, we have one research paper from 2021 that showed a 30% discontinuation rate of hormones.
And that rate is likely to go up and up and up because the protocol being used at these clinics is kids know who they are.
There's no safeguarding.
There's no second guessing of a kid's stated identity.
And the fewer safeguards we have, the less questioning that we do of these kids' motives and mindset, the higher the rate of regret and detransition and medical harm is going to be.
I just want to say one thing.
This is why we need freedom of speech in this country.
Because let these people talk and tell you what they feel.
Someone famous said, let the boy watch.
Let these people talk.
Because the more they talk, the deeper the foot ends up in their mouth.
And the more that their ridiculous ideology is exposed, the more that their absurdity and radicalism is highlighted, whether it's three-year-olds know exactly who they are or Americans shouting death to America or whether people advocating that boys can certainly be girls, let them talk.
I think, I think, I go a little bit deeper.
So for a grown man to be sitting there dressed like that, dressed as you know, with a wig and pushing a child to be able to make that decision, that's borderline pedophile crap.
And I'll tell you why.
Because if you're at that age, a grown man, saying a three-year-old, a four-year-old, an eight-year-old can make their own decision to chop off their genitalia, then guess what?
Especially in the courts, then that kid, who's to say that kid can't say who they want to have sex with?
You know, hey, you know what?
I want to have sex with this, with this grown man, dad.
I already transitioned.
I'm a woman.
That gives you carte blanche.
That is some disgusting shit coming out of that.
And I think that what, dude, are we even, how are we even having a conversation that that person is saying, yeah, a three-year-old knows exactly who they are.
I thought I was Superman for 10 years when I was a kid.
Hey, Tom, this is all you, but I'm going to say you can be 16 to drive a car.
You have to be 18 to vote, 21 to drink.
You can be whatever age, chop it off.
Three years old.
Three years old, he's saying.
I think there's two things here we can probably move on.
The first thing is that guy is also making a case to validate his own personhood and existence in his choice.
He's not just talking about lobbying for something for these kids.
He is validating choices that he made to make himself feel okay and safe.
Remember when Bill Maher, I mean, and this is something Bill Maher said, where he gave a very eloquent, data-driven summation of what was happening with the percent of people in each generation identified as gay or trans.
And he said, come on, with kids, it's phases.
It's all phases.
When I was seven, I think he said I wanted to be a pirate.
And I'm glad my parents didn't send me out to have a peg leg and an eye removed.
So I think that's there's some wisdom there that, you know, coming from Bill Maher that a lot of people were talking about.
It's like kids have phases.
But Tommy, don't you find it, don't you go, the underlying message, and but it's not the gay.
I hate when people are like, yo, you hate gay.
Shut up with that nonsense.
This transgender movement, they're obsessed with the kids.
Get to the kids, chop them up, because those kids, if they can make that decision, tell them, guess what?
They want to hook up with you.
It's whatever.
It's like, hey, he's old enough to make that decision.
And why can't I have sex with him?
I think there's like three issues in the middle of that.
I'm just going back and looking at this guy and saying, look, he's validating himself.
And that's what's going on here.
And you've got Dr. Phil.
He just went off on this later.
And I thought Dr. Phil did a great job handling it.
He was very patient, let everybody made their point on the show and then went off.
So thank you.
One thing about Dr. Phil, you noticing Dr. Phil in the last six, 12 months, what he's been doing?
I love it.
Getting more and more vocal.
And remember who gave him the opportunity.
Oprah.
Oprah.
And Oprah may be sitting there saying, oh, this guy's kind of talking about some stuff that is not fully aligned.
You know what I'm saying?
I think what you're saying, PBD, is you want to catch Dr. Phil outside.
Catch him out.
How about that?
How about that, Dr. Phil?
Yeah.
Okay, next thing.
Elon Musk thinks an AI candidate could win U.S. election in 2032.
Meaning, are we coming across an era where we're going to have faceless presidents, okay?
Billionaires Elon Musk said that he believes an AI candidate couldn't contest in 2032 elections during an interaction.
At the 10th annual breakthrough prize ceremony, Elon Musk was asked, who's going to win the White House in 2024?
Tesla CEO replied, followed by a Hartley laugh, who do you think will win the White House in 2032?
Which type of AI, Transformers or Diffusion?
Do you have this video, by the way, with him saying this or no, Rob?
Let me look for it.
See if you can have this video because it's better if it's an exchange.
Earlier, Elon Musk talked about AI's influence on elections and said that if AI is smart enough, it could undermine democracy.
He also predicted that AI could become smarter than humans in 2026 and technology was constrained because of the electricity supply.
He said, if you define AGI, artificial general intelligence, as smarter than the smartest human, I think it's probably next year within, is this it, Rob?
I think it was that one, Rob.
Was this it?
Let's see if this is the one.
White House in 2024.
Who do you think will win the White House in 2032?
Which type of AI?
AI.
Transformers or diffusion?
So watch this, Rob.
Do me a favor.
We made a video.
Tom, you don't even know what I'm about to go to next.
Tom and I wrote a book eight years ago called Drop Out and Get Schooled.
And to do the promo video for this, I made a video and it looked like this.
And look at the, I'm not going to show you the whole thing.
I just want you to watch the first 20 seconds.
Go ahead.
So often we march like robots through our broken educational system.
And if we continue like this, we may one day have a robot as the president of the United States.
Oh, you don't think it's possible?
Here's what his campaign would sound like.
Wow.
I am R. Gen 1, and I am running for president of the United States of America.
I am the most qualified candidate because unlike humans, I have no emotions.
I make decisions based on pure logic because I have the most powerful processor in the world.
I won't just make America great again.
I am great.
Vote for me.
RGen 1, the perfect president.
You can actually visualize it, can't you?
See, for the longest time, we've been so concerned about robots taking over the world.
What most people don't realize is it's already happening.
We've become robots.
Our educational system is structured to turn us into followers.
You see, what separates us from robots is the fact that we have the ability to question things.
But we've stopped using that ability.
Think about it this way.
How is it that colleges are selling textbooks for $200 to 18-year-old kids when it only costs $6 to make?
Why is it that tuition costs as much as it does?
And why is it that we're pressuring parents to use their retirement savings to pay for their kids going to be able to do that?
You can watch the rest of this video.
What do you mean, exactly?
What are you a psychic?
Can you go to the date of this video, the one I send you so I can show exactly when this video was uploaded, Rob, if you can go on YouTube?
I sent you the link, Rob, an email, if you can just pull that up.
So you think about this and you say, okay, believable, this could actually happen.
What are you going to say?
Does it say that the president of the United States cannot be a robot?
Is that in the Constitution?
Because it's not.
Couldn't AI one day run?
What if they campaign behind somebody?
What if they campaign and they say, well, this person here wouldn't even be emotional.
They're just going to make the decision based on whatever's the best possible outcome based on AI.
Can you pull up that video?
I want to see when we made that video.
What's the exact seven years ago?
What is it?
January 24th, almost seven and a half years ago.
2017 was that video that came out, right?
So it's not as if it's out of the Of possibilities that could happen.
Tom, what do you think?
Do you think there's a likelihood that one day we're going to have an AI robot running for president?
I think we're probably going to have, I believe in the path to cyborg, where you're going to have a human who is augmented with AI.
And I think that individual, it'll be defined as an individual.
And I think we'll see it.
But here's my thing, because I had an idea, not similar to that, but just with this whole party thing, which I don't believe in, there's no Democrat, Republican.
They're all on the same team.
It's like wrestling in front of our faces.
They're like this.
But backstage, they're all in cahoots and they're all in dinners and they all love each other.
They all know each other.
They vacation together.
But why not have something?
I mean, this is the split line.
Have something where it's no logic.
Why don't we put this thing and everybody votes on every major issue with the help of AI?
And whatever the best possible outcome is, we go there.
Not one person controls the house.
One person controls the Senate.
Nothing ever gets done.
Whatever's the best possible outcome, I'm all for it.
I don't think giving the actual robot all the power because that's the whole art of like war, artificial intelligence against us fighting.
But I mean, I think any at the future, I think it's definitely, definitely a possibility where they're going to incorporate some type of AI with decision-making with zero motion to pick the best outcome that's for our country.
Well, I don't know what's going to happen in 2032, who's going to be running, but I can guarantee you this.
Whoever's running, they will say the following.
This is the most important election of our lifetime.
We'll hear that in 2024, 2028, 2032.
But the reality is now, you know, Elon Musk, how many companies does he own?
Tesla, SpaceX, everything, this, that, Neuralink.
But he actually started a company called XAI to compete with Sam Altman's company, OpenAI.
I don't know if people know this, but actually Elon was an investor, co-founder of OpenAI, and he's very critical of Sam Altman, who was basically what Tom removed from the board and then brought back on.
It was Microsoft was making a play.
Google was making a play.
It was the most exciting 72 hours in AI.
So if you go to that, if you go to this article right here, it's actually a pretty interesting tweet by Elon regarding AI.
If you scroll down, if you can find the tweet, he says, the talent war for AI, scroll down.
Talent war for AI is the craziest talent war I've ever seen.
And if you go to the title of the article, basically, OpenAI is trying to poach the top engineers from Tesla.
We're seeing what's going on with Tesla as breaking news of today.
This week, they cut 10% of their workforce.
I think they have 140,000 employees across the world.
That's 14,000 people that were taking their jobs.
Exactly.
So we're going to see what happens here.
But it's not far-fetched that in 2032, we could see a Trump AI running against an Obama AI.
So we'll see what happens.
And by the way, this kind of leads to the next story.
I'll read two stories together, and this kind of goes with one of the New York Post stories you had, Rob, if you want to have that prepared, the one that Tom was pounding with us.
So watch what's going on here with this, folks.
It's kind of crazy.
So most people want to have sex with robots.
New robo-sexuality study reveals.
This is from the Daily Star.
Most people want to have sex with robots.
New Robo indicates a study examining attitudes towards sexual relations with robots, revealing unexpected predictors of interest.
Research by Connor Leshner and Jessica Johnson found that individuals higher in hostile sexism and social dominance orientation are more likely to be interested in sexual encounters with robots, as indicated by their paper titled Technically in Love, Individual Differences Related to Sexual and Platonic Relationships with Robots.
Analysis suggests that individuals with these attitudes may perceive robots as more trustworthy alternatives or as objects to use, reflecting deeper social dynamics regarding gender relations and hierarchy.
And then the next story, which is on the same day by Futurism, says tech executive predicts billion-dollar AI girlfriend industry when witnessing the sorry state of men addicted to AI girlfriends.
One Miami Tech exec saw dollar signs instead of red flags in a blog length post on X. Former WeWork executive Greg Eisenberg said that after meeting with young guy who claimed to spend $10,000 a month on so-called AI girlfriends or relationship simulating chatbots, he realized that eventually someone is going to capitalize upon that market the way Match Group has with dating apps.
I thought he was kidding, Eisenberg wrote, but he was 24-year-old single guy who loves it.
During the exchange, Eisenberg said that he was speechless when the young man explained his rationale, citing his ability to play with his AI paramours the way some people play video games, sending them voice notes and customizing their likes and dislikes as some of the reasons he spent so much money on the services.
Tom, do you think we're going to go in this direction?
It's going to be a big industry.
I think it's already happening, unfortunately.
And I think the lack of human contact, we just take a look at the kids in schools and the addictions to digital devices and Florida making, I think Ron DeSantis making a proper law to put restrictions on social media for kids.
Why?
Because it's good for humans to connect with each other and talk and communicate and build healthy relationships.
And it is not good to be pure isolationist in technology.
And this just takes, you know, the kid that won't look up from, you know, looking at TikTok videos when your family goes to lunch and you let him sit there with the phone.
He won't look up at you.
Now he's locked in his room with an AI girlfriend and not looking up at the rest of society.
I don't think this is good.
You know, I think there's a lot to be, I think the conclusion that the tech executive is making and the fact that he said, you know, I was speechless and I was shocked, he's expressing exactly what I'm feeling.
But I think he's right.
We're going to head in that direction and someone's going to make a buck off it.
Yeah.
Well, look, I'm old school.
You know, I still kind of keep it with humans these days.
Really?
It's going to change soon?
No.
But look, if we learned anything during COVID, we learned a term called the K-shaped economy.
Remember that PBD?
Essentially, the rich got richer and the poor got poor.
And what's happening with social media apps and dating apps specifically is the rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer.
If you're a cool dude, good-looking dude, got money, got a good social profile, you're going to be just fine.
But the reality is a third of all young men under 30 have not gotten laid in over a year.
Don't talk about Rob.
He's right there.
Rob's over 30.
He's not in that category.
He'll be okay, though.
He's married somehow.
But he's wearing pants today.
That's right.
Yeah, there you go.
It's the K-shaped economy with different sectors of the economy, rebound, recession, different rates.
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
But the reality is that since the advent of dating apps, whether it's Bumble, whether it's Hinge, whether it's Tinder, whatever it is, the sexual market value hypergamy, we've talked about this before.
The worst thing to be at this point is a broke, depressed, sad dude in your home with a smartphone.
You're not going out in public.
You're not meeting real people.
You're sort of black pill.
You've given up.
You got nothing going on.
You're looking in the mirror.
You're not happy with who you are.
You can change.
That's the good news.
But the reality is some of these people would rather pay for these robot girlfriends or these AI girlfriends or these OnlyFans or these pay pigs or whatever it is of these sex workers.
The vast majority of these people are going to be men, 30%, I believe.
And the 2% will just be really ugly chicks.
Well, you realize it's going to happen too.
If they're going to have a bunch of like all this, this line of all these female robots, at some point, there's going to have to be like, they're going to be hookers, robot hookers, a robot pimp.
Can you like, that's going to be, bitch, get my money.
People are going to be on the corner.
Think about it.
If they're selling them to the people, it's only a matter of time till somebody buys a fleet.
Are you pitching Tom as an idea?
I'm pitching Tom an idea.
You can do that on Manek.
They can just ask you.
Guys, I'm going to hook up with you on Manek, and we're going to figure out pimping aflame.
You're going to do what with me?
Pipping anything.
Any business to Tom on Manek using that QR code right there.
But Tom, going back to with something like this, can you share that article from New York Post that just came out?
Rob, if you can pull this up.
Here's the article from New York Post.
Sex workers complain sales are down as inflation continues to pound the economy.
Can you show up New York Post logo at the top so they can see it?
How long ago is that, by the way?
That was an inflation report in the third quarter.
Wow.
And it's getting even worse.
So inflation has been pounding the economy and sex workers are saying it's more expensive for them as well.
Let me go into the inflation story here.
So high inflation is costing Americans an extra $1,000 a month, an extra $1,000 a month.
This is from Fox Business.
Americans are facing significant financial strain due to high inflation with households needing to pay an extra $227 a month compared to a year ago, totaling $1,069 more than three years ago.
Before an inflation crisis began, according to Moody's analytics chief economist Mark Zandy, the consumer price index rose by 0.4% in March compared to the previous month with price climbing to 3.5% from the same time last year, significantly above the 3.2% figure ahead in February, exasperating financial pressures on households, especially low-income earners.
Housing and gasoline costs were primary drivers of inflation in March, with rents up 5.7% from previous year and gasoline prices up 1.7% during the month.
Food prices also saw a 0.1 increase, contributing to a 1.2% rise from previous year and a staggering 21% increase since January of 2021, since Biden's been president.
Wow.
So that means if you were making $100,000 a year in 2021, you need to make $121,000 a year to be able to maintain the same exact lifestyle just in that period, which is three years.
Tom, thoughts on this?
Well, first of all, let me do some math.
Let's do fun with math again, but this is no fun for the consumer.
$1,069, I did the calculation in most U.S. states, leading out New York and California, because this would be even worse, is $12,500 pre-tax.
So you need $12,500 more.
So three years ago to now, you would need $12,500 a year.
And then you do tax on it.
It's almost $15,000.
So that means if you didn't get a $15,000 raise, that after taxes, this is $12,500, so you can have that $1,069 a month, then you are behind.
So all the headlines about, oh, the stock market's up, Magnificent 7, SP, oh, this is good.
Inflation's down.
The long-term effect on people has been catastrophic.
And if you're going to read the headlines and make your decision when you go in the voting booth, you need to take a look at the cumulative impact of the Bidenomics to you and ask yourself, you know, what do I want?
And the cumulative impact around the world.
But right now, this inflation, this is real.
And recently, they were having headlines.
People saw PPI.
You know what PPI is, ladies and gentlemen?
Saw that headline was on like Yahoo News, as everybody knows.
It stands for Producer Price Index.
So let's just think: producer price index.
Producers are people that make things like Nike that make shoes.
And so, what do they pay more for all of the fabric and everything that goes into a shoe in the cardboard box?
That is the inflation hitting them.
When producer prices go up, you can set your watch for 90 days later, those products go up.
And so, basically, inflation continues to go up.
So, Americans are looking for second jobs, looking for hustles, side hustles, and are looking for ever more ways to see if they can trim the budget or save a few bucks or find lower-cost alternatives in an economy that is biting them hard.
Adam, biting them hard.
There you go, Tom.
Well, you teed it up with sort of the pounding of the economy and the strippers.
There's actually some truth to that story.
I know we're kind of joking, but some of the some may say that it's not economists who know what's going to happen in the economy.
It is actually the sex workers and the strippers because they are the boots on the ground, so to speak, of what is known as discretionary income.
If you have extra money in your pocket, you might go spend a little bit more at the gentleman's club or at the library.
And Shaq and Dylan like to hang out.
That's right.
Great callback there, comedy right there.
But that is true that strippers sort of are economic indicators of discretionary spending.
What I will say about the Biden administration at this point is one could say that inflation is not cooling down, but wars are certainly heating up.
But it's not just immune to what's going on in America.
What are we going to see with this article?
I'm actually curious.
Yeah, well, if you look at the countries all around the world, it's not the inflation is not just here in America.
We know that that's sort of the obvious, but America actually has recovered pretty well based on the rest of the world here.
Adam, what am I seeing with this article?
Well, if Rob would scroll down, we'll probably see it.
So, here are some of the countries that are with the highest inflation at this point.
Zimbabwe, I think it's like 500% ridiculous.
Venezuela's networking.
But if you go down to the Fuller list, you'll see where America stands in its place in the world.
Rob, go up just a second so you can see what it is.
Top 10 countries with the lowest inflation rates at this point.
So, America, if you believe the numbers, is sitting at 3.7%.
Okay, compared to the rest of the world.
Here's China somehow, not even at 0%.
Can't believe the data that comes out of China.
But yes, there's a lot of people that are feeling the price of inflation in America today.
I feel like I just had a flashback to a week and a half ago.
The cumulative inflation rate over the last three years is killing the American middle class.
And you can look at it right now and say, Is it good that inflation is down?
Well, it's good that it's down, but it's not as low as it needs to be.
And the cumulative effect over three years is pretty bad.
And so that's what this article is talking about, Adam.
You know, people, I mean, save that money.
You need more money to save the money.
And these poor people are now $1,100 a month, a freaking month, $15,000 a year before taxes, worse off than they were, you know, three years ago.
That's pretty harsh.
So it's good to look out there and say, wow, you know what?
The inflation rate is down when I'm eating ramen noodles and I've got major U.S. companies suggesting I have cereal for freaking dinner.
Well, here's the question, I guess.
And this is genuine.
Did we talk about my tweet at Mark Cuban or no?
I don't think we have, right?
Because it just happened.
Can you pull up Twitter and go to the tweet by Mark Cuban?
I loved this tweet.
Can you go up?
Bill Ackman says, Gola Lore, Rob, because this kind of goes with what you're talking about here.
Gola Lore, Golor, Lore, Lore.
I think you'll see when it comes up to Mark Cuban.
It should be somewhere around here.
Maybe you crossed it, Rob.
Maybe you did not.
I don't know.
Is it right there?
Is it Mark Cuban?
Yeah.
So first go to his tweet, okay, and let me read.
Oh, it's been okay.
There it is.
So Bill Ackman says, student, show the whole thing so I can read.
It's fine.
It's fine the way it is.
Student law forgiveness sounds great for borrowers overburdened with high interest rate debt that they cannot repay.
The problem is that the subsidy appears to be principally to more affluent families at the cost of burdening those who didn't attend college or whose parents saved their send their kids to schools.
It should be illegal for the president to buy votes by transferring funds from certain citizens to others he believes are more likely to support him in an election.
He's 100% right.
Now look at what Mark Cuban says.
Like Trump has used tax cuts for folks like you and me, Mark Cuban.
Then here's my response to him.
Really?
Under Biden, the rich got rich and the poor got poor.
The wealth of the top 1%, you just hit a record $44 trillion.
His policies have been great for billionaires like you.
That's Biden.
Trump's policies help both billionaires like you and middle America.
If anyone knows this, it's you.
So there's a difference between you're talking about inflation isn't as bad as some people think it is.
You know who's feeling it?
Middle America is getting destroyed in America today due to pathetic policies that we have.
So if you can sit there, just I think it was two months ago when he started talking about the fact that Biden needs to talk about how great the economy is and how great the economy is.
If this was Trump, he would be off the and the moment you started saying that, it looks like Biden's economy took a hit.
Can you show what the market has done in the last week or two weeks?
Just go to SP 500 the last two weeks.
SP 500 the last two weeks.
What happened, Tom?
I want to point out that the nice Mr. Cuban, you are correct.
The rich got richer.
You pay taxes this year.
$288 million.
Correct.
That means what did he earn last year in net gain, on realized net gain?
Not just stuff he said.
Over a billion dollars.
Okay.
To pay 28%.
So the rich did get richer.
And this guy is talking about this.
Well, he easily and conveniently pays over a quarter of a billion dollars in taxes.
Right.
Go to Dow.
Go to Dow, Rob, just to see what happened with Dow.
Well, the Dow was, I think it was at 39, like 5, 39.
It was about to hit 40,000.
It was about to be the biggest thing ever.
Now it's at close to 37.38.
It's at 39.8, and it's now at 37.38.
Which is great.
Yeah, in the last two weeks.
It's gone that shows.
It's in rough.
But the reason why it's rough is because they can't move that number with inflation.
They keep talking about unemployment and the unemployment numbers.
Rob, did Brandon send you the updated numbers on unemployment?
The ones that, you know, the real numbers of unemployment, if we have that data, if you can pull it up, the unemployment numbers that we hear about are a couple different things.
I don't know if it's that one or the other one, Rob.
If he can show me which one this is.
Gallup Sigma comes and summarizes Americans ratings of the current economic conditions, whether the economy is greater, better or worse.
This is what?
Minus 26%.
Since, okay, go back to the other one.
And under Trump, it was higher.
There was another one, Rob, that I wanted to see if he can pull up.
This is what?
How would you rate it on?
No, there's one that talks about what the real unemployment was.
It's what I wanted Brandon to pull up.
I don't know if he got it or not, the data.
But the point is, we can sit there and talk about unemployment.
It's a lot of the, they don't calculate people that don't want to go back into the workforce.
And they calculate if a person has three jobs, they calculate it as three different people having a job.
It's not three different people having a job.
It's one person has two or three jobs.
So people are desperately having to work multiple jobs to make ends meet today.
And you know who feels that?
Middle America does.
You know who doesn't feel that?
People that are doing okay financially.
So the policies are finally hitting the people that are feeling it, and they're making noise.
By the way, earlier, we asked the questions of who this Iran-Israel war is going to impact the most.
Gas prices.
If it goes to five again, if it goes to six again, if it hits the seven, eight, nine, ten number over the next few months, you already know what's going to be happening if that takes place.
And by the way, this is happening.
Tom, how much oil are we right now going through right now in the States?
How much oil are we personally producing right now being self-sustaining?
Like, Biden took the page out of Trump's playbook.
Right.
I don't know the exact amount that we're using per day.
Rob can probably find that, but we do know this.
If there is a major disruption, Biden trying to get the price of gas down.
You talk about artificial intelligence.
This was certainly not intelligent.
It was whatever smarts he was using.
It was certainly artificial.
He drained the SPR, the strategic petroleum reserve, which is reserved for wartimes and crises.
So America's got energy at the time of crisis.
And Biden flooded the market with it to put excess supply out there to bring the price of gas down for the sake of presidential approval ratings.
Yes, that's what he did.
And right now, what we're using per day, 20 million barrels, and we don't have a strategic petroleum reserve.
So worldwide supplies get disrupted, our own production gets impacted, Pat.
Guess what happens to the price of a gallon of gas?
It will hit $5 in less than a week.
Because we're already in the fours.
We're already in the low fours.
Let me read this.
Oil prices are set to rise as market braces for Israel's response to Iran's missile and drone barrage.
It's a CNBC story.
U.S. crude oil futures were slightly lower Sunday as traders breathed it.
A sigh of relief after Israel fended off a large-scale air assault in Iran and U.S. emphasized it wants to avoid wider war.
The West Texas intermediate contracts for May lost 34 cents to 85.32 a barrel.
Are you kidding me?
That number used to be break even at 65.
Now at 85, they're losing 34 cents.
As trading began Sunday evening, June Brent futures eased slided to $90.18 a barrel.
U.S. crude closed at $85.66 a barrel Friday, while the global benchmark settled at $90.45.
Futures began the year around $71 earlier this year.
Now they're at that number.
Wow, that's pretty wild.
So guess what, Middle America?
Brace for impact.
High gas prices around the corner for you.
Adam.
Well, look, gas prices are obviously a major part of people's expenses when it comes to their car.
I always say there's the big three expenses that you have, your housing, your transportation, your food and beverage.
But back to the larger conversation we're having about the economy.
You know, this is on multiple people.
It's on obviously the administration, the president, Biden administration, and Treasury Secretary, Jenny Ellen.
Some of this is on Jerome Powell.
We've said that he's done a pretty good job, but I'm a fan of personal responsibility and personal finance.
At what point is it up to the person to make better decisions with their life?
I've been doing personal finance content for a decade.
I've been in the financial world for 17 years.
The common theme since I've been in this world since mid-2000s to now is two-thirds of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
So 100% I want to see inflation come down.
We're at, what, 3.7%?
CPI is a little bit higher.
We'd love to see it down to 2%.
We'd love to see it.
But the reality is that most Americans need to focus on what's going on in their house, not on what's going on in the White House.
That's true.
That is true.
That is true.
And you were always part of the personal responsibility community.
But this is going to you talking about six weeks ago when you said if Trump was president today, he would be raving about the numbers of the economy today.
Right afterwards, the economy took a massive hit because inflation isn't moving.
And a lot of people, like right now, most of the Minnesota I'm getting were the consulting calls that we're doing, the mastermind calls that we're doing.
Most of the guys are talking about Pat.
I've been in transportation.
I experienced 70% dip.
I've been in a mortgage business.
I experienced 80% dip.
When is this thing going to turn around with interest rates?
What's going to happen?
Okay.
And even in the market right now, I made an offer on a building the other day.
Guy's like, well, what kind of an offer are you wanting to make on this building?
Tom knows this.
We made a $60 million offer.
And I said, cash will close in, you know, whatever, whatever.
He says, really?
Yes.
He says, send us the documents.
I said, why don't you send me your net operating income?
I was like, yeah, this is how much we're doing.
Really?
Send it to us.
Well, if that's what you're doing, that's my offer.
Well, first show me you got the cash.
I send him the cash.
Then he sends me back and says, well, our net operating income was, what, 40% less than what he quoted us.
That was the first conversation.
Then the following.
It got even lower and lower.
Anyways, 30, 40% less than what he quoted us.
But you know why he was interested in talking to us?
Tell me.
Why do you think?
Because anybody else that wants to make an offer at a number like that, guess what they're looking at?
They're looking at interest rates.
And who the hell wants to go get a $60 million loan right now at 8%, 7%, and the down payment, 40%, 35%?
It's a very different economy.
So Middle America's feeling it.
Yes, it doesn't necessarily affect the people that made better choices because they have cash.
But a lot of people right now are feeling the hit that's going on.
And it's mainly the people that you and I don't want to be going through challenging times.
Middle.
We want middle, and middle is feeling it, Tom.
Exactly right.
I mean, and you say, Rob, do you have the quick chart on oil?
And Pat, take a look at this.
This is what we're talking about.
This is basically exactly, you could take and go back one year.
Make it one year.
Yeah, you see that?
We're creeping back up to the peak that we had.
And so when we drain the SPR.
So you can look at the price of a barrel of oil and go to what Pat said earlier here in the podcast.
And that is a forecast of where inflation is going to go because all the things you talked about, from getting a plane ticket to go see your mom to the shipping costs of the truck that just dropped off, all that stuff with Amazon Prime.
And that's where it's going.
And uncertainty in the Middle East, there was a sigh of relief that it didn't break into wide open conflict.
But the price of oil is going back up.
And we had this peak.
It was like at 93.
And we're already into the high to mid-80s right now.
What are we down today?
Like 85?
Yeah, right in the middle.
85, right in the middle.
I'm going to send this to you, Rob.
If you can go to average gas prices in America today and go to that AAA website I just sent you, you'll see the one I just sent you.
If you can type that in, the average gas prices as of right now, as of 416, which is right now, is $3.64 nationwide.
Okay.
So that's today, right now.
However, if you can go a little lower, Rob, you'll see the red at the top.
Zoom in a little bit on the map at the top.
The red is people that are between $3,907 to $5.45.
Look at West Coast.
Now, West Coast is getting close to the city.
Look at Texas.
There's always close to Texas.
California.
And then look at the pink where we are, but now go a little lower, Rob, it'll show the national average.
Click on regular.
Can you go to Reagan?
Just press press on that arrow.
Do it again.
Okay, perfect.
That's from regular.
We're not even talking premium.
Like right now, premium is $5.82 in California, guys.
Damn.
Diesel is $5.44 and regular is $540 flipping $6.
Hawaii is $475.
You got Washington, Nevada, Oregon, Alaska, Arizona, Illinois, Utah, Idaho, District of Columbia.
You know what kind of growth right now Texas is getting with people that are moving there.
Let's see what Florida's at, by the way.
I think Florida's at 390, 370.
Go a little Ohio.
Florida right there, 351.
New York is also 350, which is not bad.
California is.
Guys, by the way, New York against California.
Look at what New York is right there, 353.
Go look where California is at right now.
$547.
$2 more of tax.
Of local tax.
It's tax that he's charging to people.
Think about this.
$2 more because he just chooses to do it.
Any kind of creative gas tax.
Can you tap in California gas tax?
But the point, the moral of the story here is this.
If this thing climbs, if this thing climbs the way it is, America is going to be very, very upset the next few months.
And they'll still keep voting for Democrats.
Good job, guys.
It's very rare that I'm filling up a gas tank because everyone knows I don't have a car, so I'm very rarely.
No, no, no, they're doing it.
But you remember we went to California.
We flew into Vegas, I want to say, and it was me, you, and Mario, and drove from Vegas to LA overnight.
That was the famous Mario.
You look at this on beach.
Right.
Okay.
So I remember we had the SUV.
We were driving it.
And I was like, all right, hey, Mario, I'm going to borrow the car because I'm going to go just go see a friend, whatever.
I was driving the car.
I was with Mario.
But we went to the gas station.
And this is in L.A.
So the average cost of price of gas in California was what, five and a half bucks?
Bro, seven bucks in LA at this gas station.
I was like, is this what, is this what gas costs?
Like, I don't know.
I don't know my car.
I never, he goes, no, that's just here in L.A.
I was shellshocked how people survive in LA with these prices.
Ridiculous.
So again, if these numbers on inflation doesn't improve and this war with Iran and Israel continues and a NATO mess continues and a division in America with Muslims, Christians, Jews, the rise, the protesting, the stabbing, by the way, one of the articles wrote the fact that the guy that stabbed him was due to the comments the bishop made on PBD podcast about his profit.
That's the comments that imagine if more of that starts happening and it starts happening in the States.
Do you know how America is going to feel about it?
They're going to be like, listen, man, pump the brakes.
You're allowing all these.
Did you see what Johnson yesterday announced that they're preventing illegal immigrants that they let him to getting an ID to be able to vote?
You see all that stuff that they're talking about?
With Trump standing right behind him.
I don't know if you guys saw that or not.
If this continues, it's going to be a little bit tough for the guy that's currently in office.
I want to go to the next story.
U.S. high schoolers want financial education, but many schools don't offer it.
Survey says this is a Fox business story.
So here we go.
Let me see what page this was on.
U.S. high schoolers.
U.S. high schoolers want financial education, but many schools don't offer it services.
85% of U.S. high school students express interest in learning about financial topics in school, yet many lack access to such courses.
Only 34% of adults passing a basic financial literacy quiz.
Are you kidding me?
34% of adults passed it.
According to Intuit's financial education survey, financial terms like stocks, bonds, 401k, retirement, and taxes remain misunderstood by many students with 53% unable to grasp stocks and bonds, 45% confused about 401k and retirement, and 20% struggling with taxes.
Despite the interest in financial education, only 19% of students turn to social media for financial information, raising concerns about the accuracy of the advice they receive.
Intuit's offer a free financial education.
So here we go.
So U.S. high schoolers want financial education.
They're not getting it.
And our lack of education in America being where it's at today.
Adam, I am so thankful that I ended up in the financial services world because we all know I was a jack of all trades.
I was a nightlife guy.
I was a stand-up comedian.
I was doing this.
I was doing that.
And I found myself in the financial services world.
First year of my career, I made five grand.
Second year, after busting my ass, I made $100,000.
And I've never looked back.
And it's been, I'm very grateful for being in this business.
I know you've been in the insurance business since 9-11.
It's been a blessing to be in this world.
But I can tell you this: if I didn't end up in this business, I would be broke as shit right now.
Two-thirds of Americans, as we know, are living paycheck to paycheck.
I say it all the time.
This is why I started my show.
We all go to school.
We all take the same useless classes, the ABCs, algebra, biology, chemistry.
Hell, they have me in woodshop class.
Chance of me cutting wood as a career, 0% chance.
No money classes.
No personal finance classes because what the hell do teachers know about money?
Yeah.
Most of them are underpaid, working their ass off.
They have their subject matter.
I was a teacher for a year.
I taught second grade and I thought I was a substitute.
They don't make money.
They're the last people we need teaching people about money.
They need to bring in people who are personal finance experts or team up with organizations or NGOs that can actually come in and teach schools.
I would argue, is there any class, any class more important in America than a personal finance class?
More than algebra, biology, chemistry, trigonometry, any of this stuff.
Money talks, bullshit, box.
Save that money.
Well, 90%, well, 90% of the stuff in high school, complete useless.
I dissected a frog.
And like, when the hell am I ever going to need to do, you know what I mean?
When the hell is that going to happen?
We're like, hey, guys, stuck.
Is that frog dying?
I got this.
Instead of dissecting a frog, how about we dissect the budget?
Yeah, no, yeah.
And understand.
But Adam, that's great point.
This goes to it.
They want you dumb in school and they don't want you knowing shit about money.
It's right in your face.
The kids are like, no, we want to learn about the stock.
That's a great sign, though, Tom.
I think it's also interesting that the 19% of students said they turned to social media because the other 81% were concerned about the accuracy of the advice they get on social media.
Yet they're getting fashion advice, sex advice, and all other advice.
Transition advice.
Transition advice.
But you know what?
Somebody's got to step up with solutions like this.
And you know what?
We're going to take a look.
So if you're going to be interested in what I'm about to say, put something in the comments.
We're going to do some research here.
Over the course of the summer, Value Team, we're going to do some research, and we may put together a webinar for parents and students together, Frank, around back to school time, something like that.
We're going to research it and take a look.
Indicate in the comments, you know, how old are you?
What would you be interested in learning about?
And we'll collect that all together and maybe see if we could do something to kind of contribute to the education here.
I'll give one more thing.
Let me give a shout out to Manect.
I would say 80% of the people that I speak with on Manect, it's money conversations, helping them get clarity on their career, on their money, on their budget.
I know people say, oh, it's all relationship data.
No, it's actually people that want to improve their money.
And some guys are making half a million, a million dollars a year.
And they're like, hey, I need to get a little more clarity on my money.
Some kids are 19 and they're just getting started.
And I walk them through these six principles of wealth that I do.
But on Manek, this is where we do this.
And I always say there's only two ways to have more money.
You can make more or you can spend less.
And we got to do both.
So the problem with online is there's fake gurus.
There's people trying to sell you Bitcoin or shit coin.
You don't know who to trust.
They need to trust and they need to have education.
Let's go to the next story.
Vinny, this one's for you, buddy.
If you're ready.
Can't wait.
Ready?
French First Lady.
Uh-oh.
Rashid Macron sues conspiracy theorists who complain she was born a man.
By the way, Russia, you're suing that.
That's a little bit concerning for someone.
You're a first lady and you're suing somebody saying you were born a man.
Anyways, here we go.
Macron is taking legal action against conspiracy theorists, alleged she was born a man with the trial scheduled for June in Paris court.
Macron faces claims that she was originally named Jean-Michel Throgneau and transitioned to a woman in the 1980s, igniting controversy across France's complusphere.
Macron's lawyer, Jean Inoki, emphasized the urgency of the trial, stating in recent weeks, particularly internationally, via Trump has influenced Candace Owens, I felt that the harm to my client would increasingly day by day.
The rumors gained traction after American commentator Candace Owens echoed them, prompting Macron vehemently deny these allegations.
President Macron condemned the rumors as false and fabricated, expressing frustration over the impact of such misinformation on their personal lives.
Vinny, what do you know about the story?
Well, first of all, not to go back, but Tom, what were you going to say?
I think it's amazing that she's got the balls to sue the media.
That's respectful.
But the audacity.
Well, first of all, we covered the story.
Not only was there so many layers to this thing.
Just going back to the origination part of it, she met him when he was 15 years old.
Let's put pedophilia to the side, okay?
Sue go to court.
All the defense lawyer has to do, PBD, is demand a DNA blood test.
That's it.
It's over.
Bro, it's a wrap.
Just blood now.
Go.
And by the way, this just goes to show and makes your case Brigitte or Brad, whatever the hell your real name is, that this is suspect.
Yeah, you could clear all this up just by showing your picture of your brother.
Like, quell all the rumors.
And this, I was, by the way, I was reading this and then I saw something, some other crazy article that was trending on X. Do you guys know who Martin Nesbitt is?
This made me shift to something different about, you know, men or gays and all this stuff.
Martin Nesbitt is a longtime friend of President Barack Obama.
He served as national treasurer for two of his presidential campaigns and is the chairman of the Obama Foundation.
And you know what's crazy?
He looks exactly, exactly like Barack and Michelle Obama's older daughter, Malaya.
Can you guys show that?
Who recently, by the way, look at she just recently dropped her last name and only goes by her middle name now, which is Malia Ann.
And his wife, the oldest one in the middle, top middle.
She dropped her last name now.
She dropped her last name.
Are you sure about that?
Google it right now.
I want you guys to.
By the way.
What's her first name?
Malia.
Obama dropped her last name.
She dropped her last name.
Let's see what the first article is.
Oldest daughter, her latest film, dropped her last name in favor of her middle name.
Okay.
She dropped it because she doesn't want to be.
We'll go on to that later.
That's the reason that she died.
Because she's a movie.
She's doing in movies.
She doesn't want her name to be used.
Whatever.
That's neither here nor there.
Go back to this guy's wife.
Stay on that.
Stay on that.
Her father is the first person.
I want to go back.
How do you drop it?
Recently.
So here's a question.
Why is Mali Obama chain fresh out of Harvard and stepping into the world of filmmaking has made a unique choice for a professional journey?
She's opting to go by her new name, and the decision to step away from her well-known Obama family name indicates a deliberate effort to forge her own path, distinct from her parents.
Yeah.
Weird.
Wouldn't you?
Her parents are producers of movies now.
Not only that, they were two-term presidents.
And for the left, Democrats called them the best president in a long time.
Obama.
That's their hero.
You don't want that name, Obama.
Isn't that weird?
What does that say about the pride you have in your family lineage?
If you're a Kennedy, imagine like John F. Kennedy's son says, I don't want to be a Kennedy.
If you're a Bush, Bush's son says, I don't want to be a Bush.
How is this not a bigger story than just happened two months ago?
Tom, were you aware of this at all or no?
I was not aware of this, and I think it speaks volumes.
Okay, continue with your story.
Thank you.
Yeah, and we'll go back to this.
And then, yeah, I love you, Robbie.
Keep this photo up.
Now, his wife, Anita Blanchard, Martin Nesbitt's wife, she's a doctor, and she's credited for delivering both of Obama's babies.
And she looks exactly like their youngest child, Sasha.
Okay, like, and listen, all I'm saying is it's worth an explanation, okay?
And you would think these people would distance themselves from this couple.
On top of the fact, like, let's just act.
The youngest daughter's on the bottom looks like a lady to the left.
That's his wife.
She's the one that delivered both of them.
Both of them.
It's just weird.
Doesn't look anything like Michelle.
Doesn't look anything like Barack.
Let's just keep going.
And by the way, I have to keep going deep.
And we talked about the maternity things earlier, PBD.
There's no photos of Michelle Obama pregnant.
That's very, very official.
You just mentioned you and Jen had them.
I'm just saying.
And then, by the way, I'm going to keep going backwards.
Remember earlier this year, the story about Obama in college.
He wrote to his ex-girlfriend, Alex McNear, where he said, and I quote, in regard to homosexuality, I make love to men in my mind, in my imagination, on a daily basis.
Okay?
Another step back.
Tucker Carlson interviewed Larry Sinclair.
Remember, that imagination turned into reality because remember his testimony.
He said Barack and him were running around Chicago back in the day doing crack cocaine in the back of a limo and making stops at the Comfort Inn to have sex.
And Sinclair passed the lie detector test and he signed an affidavit.
It's just very, very weird that all these things are happening.
This story just came up on my feed two or three times and they're talking about these guys.
So going back to the, you know, Brigitte, man, woman, whatever the case is, there's so many secrets and so many things happening.
All you have to do to shut everybody up, have a DNA test, and stop all the rumors because they can't.
How are you at with this?
What is your over-under with the chances of Rob?
Have you ran a poll yet or no?
I'm run a poll to see who believes Brigitte Macron is a man, born a man.
I'm actually curious.
Just a yes or no.
Can I guess the percentage?
No, let them do it.
Write it down.
I read the case by Paul Rowritis D.
I read the case that Candace Owens made.
She made a very logical, like a legal presentation, legal argument.
I thought it was very logical.
I thought it was very straightforward.
I appreciated Candace for doing that.
Certainly an intellect and certainly a researcher.
And it certainly pointed me after reading all that and then reading the kind of things that were out, not in the French tabloids, but other places where it's like, wow, this, you know, do we have sitting in plain sight, you know, this, this, this, this, Tom, what do you think are the chances of this being true?
Of the French on the Macron.
Yeah, we got to keep them all straight.
The actually straight's the wrong word, but the, I would say it's about, I say, 75% chance that she's a man and she's the school teacher and this was the thing that happened.
That's exactly where it's at right now.
75% she's a man.
Oh, that's where I was at.
80%.
Let's go, baby.
Yeah.
Look, the article says that Brigitte Macron is going to sue conspiracy theorists who claim she was born a man.
So we'll see what happens with this lawsuit.
A lot of people like to say, don't use that C word, use coincidence theories.
I'm a big coincidence theorist.
You know, Michelle's a man, Barack.
I didn't say she's a man, but how many rumors do you have to do?
Barack wasn't born in America.
Guys, have fun.
Have fun.
Here's all I'll say.
Candace, to our friend Candace, because she was mentioned in this article twice.
I distinctly remember Candace saying, I'm going to put my entire career on the line to say that she's a man.
So, Candace, genuinely, for your career, I hope you're right.
But as there are going to be some lawsuits pending, what is actually going to happen if it's proven that she's a woman?
I'm just wondering what will happen.
Candace will have a chance to respond.
I'm sure, dude, I don't follow this story.
But you know, we connect dots, but can make a lot of these obvious dots.
I'm sure Candace will respond to this.
The only reason I'm mentioning Candace's name is because her name was mentioned twice in this article.
You know what's the problem when you sue somebody?
When you sue somebody.
You know what's the one thing both sides can ask for?
Discovery, baby.
Discovery.
And you know what the problem with the discovery is?
Watch how quickly this will settle and fizzle out.
They're doing this to make it seem like it's a big deal.
It's going to go away in six months.
What are the chances you think she was born?
No, I don't know.
I don't wake up in the morning.
She's not in my top 100 concerns of my life, especially at this phase of my life.
But the point is, it's entertaining and it's funny.
What's funny about it is think about one of the world leaders of one of the top countries in the world, the president, suing that to me in order to itself is absolutely picardic that you have to just, if you're doing that, there's something there, Tom.
Remember, once upon a time in America, we had a bunch of headlines.
I'm going to go really fast so we can move on the next story.
And Ken Starr simply said, this subpoena asking for a blood test from the president is going to set all these headlines to rest.
And he was right.
Clinton gave the blood test.
The unfortunate stain on the dress was his, and the headline stopped.
And he got on TV and said, I really made bad choices and closed up the matter.
Discovery, Pat's right.
Discovery has a weird way of shutting things down fast.
There's facts and there's allegations.
And right now we're talking about allegations.
But let me speak a fact to you that I think is very weird.
What?
There's a 24-year age gap between the man and the woman.
Now, if it's the man that's older, not weird at all.
Woman that's older?
What do you mean it's not weird at all?
It's kind of weird.
There's women getting into a girl just got in trouble some Harvard.
She's married to some Harvard chick.
She was in the back of a car with a 15-year-old.
She just got in trouble.
No, I think it's wrong, male or female, because it's pedophilia.
You're messing with them.
You guys are saying the same thing.
Yeah, no, we're saying the same thing.
I'm saying underage kids.
But here's the thing.
I'm not saying underage.
No, no.
I'm just saying they were married.
Here's what I'm saying, though.
How many of these instances of these coincidences from Bill Clinton to the kid that they're saying, the kid from, where is it, Arkansas, that's saying that he's his father that looks exactly like him to Michelle?
I'm not the man thing, just Barack Obama being gay.
Are none of them true?
We're just out there and they all be out.
Thank God with all these coincident theories.
We have our friend Vinnie Jones here on the podcast.
Listen, I'm just saying.
The frogs are gay.
I'm just saying the world is gone.
The world isn't as perfect as you think it is.
Because guess what, Adam?
There's evil, there's liars, and when they're and when they're in control of the social, by the way, who does that look like?
Who does that kid look like?
Take a wild freaking guess.
Okay.
I don't need to be a conspiracy theorist.
That looks exactly, exactly like him.
And by the way, how many allegations?
That's Bill Clinton.
On the right?
Adam, are you joking right now?
Bill Clinton's on the right.
Yes.
Who's the black guy?
That's kid that's saying that Bill Clinton is his father.
Roger Stone has interviewed this kid and he's like, he is my father.
So I'm just saying, you know what I mean?
When there's smoke, there's fire, guess what?
The house is burning down.
Thank you.
All right.
Well, Vinnie Jones said it must be true.
Let's go.
I'll wear that proud.
Let's go.
Let's go to the next one.
All right.
Tom, don't get me started.
So, Javier Millay goes to Austin, meets with Elon Musk.
They have a great meeting.
And then the story comes out.
Javier Malay splits with Lioness girlfriend over work pressure.
Malay, Argentina's right-wing president announced, this is a telegraph story, by the way, so I have to have to put that right-wing in there, announced the end of his relationship with the actress-comedian Fatima Flores due to conflicting work schedule.
If you saw him making out with a girl on TV, this was the lady.
He expressed pride in Flores' professional success, stating, as a result of the overwhelming professional success that Fatima, whom I'm extremely proud of, is experiencing, she has received numerous job offers to work both in the United States and in Europe.
The couple who began dating in July the previous year cited their demanding couriers as a reason for parting ways while expressing mutual admiration and respect.
Millay emphasized their decision to maintain a friendship despite their love for each other, saying, This is why we decided to end our relationship and maintain a bond of friendship, given how much we feel for each other and how much we love, respect, and admire each other.
Adam.
Well, shout out to Javier Millay if he ever sees this clip.
We're fans of what you're doing economically in Argentina.
I mean, Argentina was sort of the Paris of South America.
The Eva Parones came in and showed up.
And that's been a country that's been reeling economically, inflation-wise.
And he's come in, and Vinny, what does he always say?
He's cutting things.
He's cutting things.
He's cutting things out of the government.
He's cutting things out of regulation.
And now he's cutting off his girlfriend because she's, I guess, too much to deal with.
The most ironic thing about this is this is he broke up with her right after spending time with Elon Musk.
Now, if you've been following the Elon Musk story, aside from Tesla, what's been going on in his world the last handful of years?
He was dating Grimes.
They've been having their half, she's half alien, half human, in my opinion.
They had some kid issues.
They're dealing with drama.
He wrote the book, Elon.
Who wrote it?
It was him.
No, Elon.
Walter Isaacson wrote it.
One of the parts of the book was he talked about the hellacious relationship he had with none other than Amber Heard.
People forget that Johnny Depp, before Johnny Depp, Amber Heard was dating Elon Musk.
And here are some quotes from the book that you can find up from the book.
He says the following: Elon Musk's new biography and his relationship with Amber Heard called hellacious.
After suffering depression, giddiness, and manic energy, she took him to a dark vortex that produced a deep-seated pain that lingers to this day.
So Amber Heard has not only done hellacious things with Elon Musk, it was obviously we saw what happened with Johnny Depp.
I don't know what was happening with Javier Millet and his girlfriend, but believe me, if he's sitting spending time with Elon Musk and he's having relationship issues, the bottom line is Elon Musk said, cut that chick off.
And that's what happened.
Any thoughts on this or no?
You guys are good with this one.
All right, let's go to the next one.
Civil War movie rolling to $24 to $26 million, opening a record for 824 Saturday in box office.
We watched the movie on Sunday.
I'll give you my insight on this movie here.
The anticipated movie.
Everybody thought this thing was going to be like leave the world behind, Obama, all this stuff.
Civil War achieves a record-breaking opening, $25.7 million, driven by 22% liberal, 19% Democratic attendees, with minorities, including Republicans, 6%, Evangelical Christians, 6%, political conservatives, 5%.
How the hell do they know these numbers, by the way?
Overperforming markets include LA, San Francisco, D.C., Phoenix, Austin, San Diego, Denver, with smaller regional markets such as El Paso, Waco, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Charlottesville, also contributing to the success, particularly in Red States regions, South, Southwest.
The film's success surpasses previous political thrillers, beating opening of Zero Dark 30, 24.4, World Trade Center, 18.7 million, The Siege, 13.9, and contributions from PLF, IMAX showings, accounting for 16.5% of overall, what do you call it, opening weekend revenue.
We watched the movie.
At the end of the movie, when we're out.
We're not giving spoilers, PBD.
I'm going to go to.
I'm going to pull up images.
Bless you, Peabody.
He's going to pull up images so we see what's going on in the movie here.
I'm the only one that didn't see the movie, right?
So I have no clue what it's about because I want to hear what it is.
We'll comment on it.
Go ahead.
So when you watch the movie, what you thought, like if you watched a movie with Barack Obama, the one that he did exactly, leave the world behind.
That movie between the two, they're not even the same league.
That was disturbing.
Yes.
It was uncomfortable to watch.
Your body felt it.
It was immediate impact.
Certain visuals stayed with you.
The ship, the train, the white Teslas, it was just crazy.
Very, very visually.
Not even on the same league.
Leave the world behind over, what do you call it?
The Civil War.
The movie was super slow.
Couple scenes that they made in it.
You could tell they painted, depicted military as the right.
And they depicted military and conservatives as racist.
And they depicted the liberal journalist press as the saviors of the country.
And they had a moment where they're hanging out, like almost like a place where they're smoking pot and just chilling and laughing and getting hammered and doing a bunch of things.
The movie at the end of the different scenes that we have, I mean, there was a whole exchange in one place.
You know, where are you from?
I'm from Florida.
What part of Florida?
Central Florida.
Who are you guys?
We're writers for Reuters.
What kind of American are you?
Central American, South American.
The guy said Florida, Florida Central.
Then he asked the young girl, she says, Missouri.
Where are you from?
Colorado?
Where are you from?
Hong Kong.
He kills a guy from Hong Kong.
Yeah, when he said meaning, because the military China Republican kills the guy from Hmong Hong Kong, kills him.
Then he kills the other guy right in front of him.
Saying, boom, then the guy comes.
It's a lot of weird things that the movie was about.
I'll give you my score at the end, but anyway, what was it for you?
You want me to give the score?
You want me to?
The score will say at the top.
Okay, well, just opening from the beginning, they, you know, it's these people, like, first of all, they're following these photographers, but it's like, there's no news channel.
There's no nothing.
Who the hell are you?
Who are you documenting?
Like, people are shooting and shit.
And then you just see this girl come in with a camera.
And it's like, bro, get the hell out of there.
People are shooting.
But some interesting stuff they mentioned right off the rip was the Texas and Cali broke off.
They were their own country, so to speak, their own flags.
They said something about the Fort Alliance, and then they said something about the insurrection.
And then they disbanded the president, disbanded the FBI.
These are all just, you know, subtle, subliminal things that I kept putting out there.
And there's one part of it where they say out loud, this is the, like, we couldn't believe it.
The president of the United States, would you think that they're basically talking about Trump?
Use airstrikes on his own land on his own people.
Canadian money is more in the Civil War.
I don't know if you caught that.
And then there was an Antifa massacre where the president killed all these Antifas.
And it was just, yeah, it was just, it was very, very weird.
But you got the message, like you stated, the military was racist and they hated.
And even when the guy, the actor in the movie said China, he said it like this, China.
He said it just like Trump, and I caught on to it.
I'll give my score out.
The movie Civil War refers to the backdrop.
The backdrop of this thing was Civil War.
Everything everybody else has just said here, I completely agree with.
It's just really like a love story about how war journalists on the backdrop of a civil war are the, you know, we have to get the information to people.
Meanwhile, all the communication systems are down, so I don't know how all these pictures that were in their cameras were actually getting anywhere.
But that's why, I mean, you could change the name of this movie to Reuters, a love story, you know, or Reuters, passion for the art.
That's what you could call it.
Reuters, passion for the art.
Change the name of it and then watch it and go, oh, I get that.
This is all about those Reuters photographers on the backdrop of a war and the country falling apart and how they were desperate to get the images out to everything.
And then in the middle of it, there was Hollywood propaganda against all the elements that have already been discussed.
I'm the only one that didn't see it.
I was saved time and money.
I was at the San Francisco.
On Sunday.
By the way, is this?
Thank you.
You're welcome, Tom.
But was it sort of set in the future?
Is it just in the futures?
When I think of the Civil War, I'm thinking that, you know, 1861, Lincoln had a lot of people.
This is not 100 years out.
No, no, no, no, Adam.
What comments you got about the movie that you haven't seen?
Tell us.
I haven't seen the movie.
Okay, so you're asking a question, guys.
I text at the end and I ask score, okay?
And I say, Tom and Vinny, text each other with your scores of the movie.
And I said, let's text each other on three.
I said, one, two, three.
I send a four.
One of you guys send a two.
One of you guys send a three.
I send a three.
Yeah.
The movie was horrible.
