	Did you ever think you would make it?
	I know this life meant for me.
	Why would you pat on Goliath when we got bet David?
	Value payment, giving values contagious.
	This world of entrepreneurs, we get no value to hate it.
	I run, homie, look what I become.
	I'm the one.
	All right.
	Episode 512 podcast.
	Lots of stories.
	Let's get into it, folks.
	A few things.
	Again, I see a story here, Vinny.
	I don't know if this is like a true story or not.
	The fact that this guy, Jack Smith, wants to drop everything.
	Is that really the case?
	Is that weird?
	Is that really the case?
	They did it already.
	Wasn't Jack like all about going after Trump.
	So now that he's the president, like, oh, let's drop him.
	He's innocent, right?
	What a great turnaround.
	Good for you, Mr. Smith.
	Anyways, we've got a few other stories.
	We got two seconds left, but we got a few other stories.
	So Rachel Maddow takes a $5 million pay cut, and you have to see the reaction to this one meme that even I fell for.
	You got to see this reaction.
	It's hilarious.
	We'll show it to you.
	Sonny Hosten apparently is doing, what, four more legal notices, which is she's apparently like, hey, she's now the legal correspondent for The View.
	That is wild to see that, you know, constantly.
	Anyways, we'll talk.
	By the way, there's a clip.
	I don't know if you've seen it or not, folks.
	It's her ancestries being linked to slave owners.
	And have you seen this clip on her reaction?
	I think I have.
	It's incredible.
	Her reaction.
	So her family owned slaves.
	Her family were slave owners.
	This is racing.
	Yeah, so she is officially.
	Right.
	I mean, she's tied to it.
	So anyways, Megan Merkel.
	This is for some people that aren't very good relationships.
	This one's going to be tough for you.
	Megan Merkel released a statement after solo Thanksgiving appearance amid professional separation from Prince Henry and Prince Harry.
	And there's footage of Prince Harry secretly celebrating.
	But I mean, that's here and there.
	I mean, we don't have it, but it is what it is.
	China looks to it looks at Musk as conduit to Trump, seeking to ward off harsh policies.
	TikTok seeks Musk's guidance.
	Bezos denies Musk's claims.
	Amazon founder predicted Trump would lose election.
	And Bezos responds, you got to see that tweet exchange between the two of them.
	And then we got Bill Maher and Neil deGrasse Tyson clashing.
	This is actually made for TV.
	We'll show that.
	Netanyahu faces UK arrest over ICC warrant.
	And there's a bunch of reaction to that with different states.
	Canada's Trudeau says he would arrest Netanyahu on ICC's orders.
	This is Trudeau, which, by the way, that's a whole different mess.
	He's saying this while he's also at Taylor Swift's concert celebrating while there's a ton of things going on in his country.
	Well, Trump is going to put tariffs on him.
	That's right.
	Here very soon.
	You're right.
	We're going to talk about that as well.
	Joe Rogan unloads on Zelensky and saying, F you, man, military-industrial complex as fears of World War III grow.
	Meanwhile, a bunch of other things react.
	I think the boxer clutch cut rock, we have that reaction as well, right?
	When he reacts to it, we'll show that Brazil, Donna, Brazil.
	We kept bragging about jobs when working two can't afford things.
	Mom can't proceed with gender-affirming care of preteen son dealing with dealing dad brutal blows after years-long fight, lost all parental fight rights.
	I already told about Justin Trudeau.
	Coleman says 2025 will be Euro generating income.
	McDonald's to add McValue menu to boost meal deal offerings.
	And then meet the couples putting mortgages before marriages.
	We'll talk about that.
	And oil price drop 20% in the next two years if the U.S. implements tariffs.
	Goldman Sachs.
	Jamie Foxx addresses whether Sean Diddy Combs was responsible for his 2023 hospitalization, which is kind of weird.
	And in a couple bonus stories, Microsoft says massive outlook and teams' outrage outage is mostly resolved.
	Macy's found a single employee bid $154 million worth of expenses.
	This Macy's employee hit $154 million.
	Did he buy an island?
	First of all, I don't even know how you do it, but we'll talk about it.
	He was hired by the Defense Department.
	He's now doing their account.
	Pentagon.
	He works for, yeah, this person works for Pentagon.
	That's a good one.
	CNN Way's expanding primetime anchor Caitlin Collins' role to chief White House correspondent, replacing Jim Acosta.
	Trump border czar Homan said something to the Denver Resistance mayor.
	You just have to see this.
	It's phenomenal.
	And then obviously the tariffs that are coming up is exciting to see what's going to happen there with Mexico, I believe China, and Canada.
	Having said that, gang, a couple things.
	One, today, the last hat we had, the one out of 500, it's gone.
	It's sold like you wouldn't believe.
	And the one that's one out of 50, I believe there's a couple of them selling on eBay for $4,000 or $5,000, numbered hats, because it was only 50 of them.
	Today, we are dropping a blackout hat.
	This will go in no time because it's only 250 of them.
	This is blackout.
	Late at night, in the dark.
	You put it on, you can see the value tame.
	The future looks bright hat.
	This is limited edition numbered on the site out of 250.
	So first come, first serve, place the order.
	It's numbered again out of 250, blackout.
	We're going to put the link up there for you to get vtmerch.com.
	Go place your order.
	And by the way, for some of you guys that want to wear business gear, business attire, these polo shirts, I wear them two, three times a week with the Vitamin logo on it.
	It's incredible.
	It's comfortable.
	It's fitted right.
	If you want to place an order of those as well, we got some of those available that just came back in.
	It's in full stock.
	I highly recommend whatever you're going to order, go order it because on Thursday, you know what starts on Thursday, put it on your calendar.
	Massive, massive, massive Black Friday offer starts Thursday morning.
	We'll be doing a podcast on Thanksgiving, but these numbered hats will go in no time.
	Okay, having said that, let's get right into it.
	Rob, do you mind playing the clip?
	The clip I want to start off with is the Bill Maher with Neil deGrasse Tyson.
	The reason for this is because we had Neil deGrasse Tyson on, and I've been on Bill before, and we had a great time.
	He spoke 90% of the time.
	I sat there, had a glass of water.
	And so it's fun watching some of the infighting because in here, the amount of things that Neil deGrasse Tyson, the scientist, is saying that Bill Maher can no longer take it.
	I think it's a couple clips, right?
	It's not just one or two clips.
	There's this one, there's another one.
	And then I have an old one that he was talking about something about the Trump.
	Trump, play this clip first.
	Let's react to it.
	Go for it.
	Scientific American.
	The magazine.
	I remember when it was around when I grew up with it.
	Yeah.
	Grew up with it.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, their editor had to quit.
	You saw this.
	Yeah, I heard about it because she expressed some opinions.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Sure, but it sure didn't sound scientific.
	It didn't sound like the person I would want to be running Scientific American.
	Okay.
	It was a rant on Twitter.
	Okay, I could read it to you.
	It's really ugly.
	You know, I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of fucking fascists.
	Okay.
	I'm not a gasket right now.
	I'm not for canceling anybody on either side.
	But here's what I think is the scandal.
	This is in Scientific American.
	Yeah.
	Less than a year ago.
	Inequity between male and female athletes is a result not of inherent biological differences between the sexes, but of biases in how they are treated in sports.
	That's nuts.
	And it sure ain't scientific.
	And it's in Scientific American.
	And that's why the Democrats lost the election.
	It's true.
	Bill, every 20 minutes on your platform, you come up with another reason why the Democrats lost.
	You already have the answer.
	They lost the election.
	So anything you say is why they did it.
	First of all, you don't watch this show, so you don't know.
	I know you don't, and it's okay.
	But you talk as if you do, and you fucking don't.
	And that's okay.
	Just don't bullshit me.
	That's the one thing people can't ever do on this show is bullshit me.
	And that's fine.
	But I don't say that.
	I have very good reasons.
	But engage with the idea here.
	What I'm asking is: Scientific American is saying basically that the reason why an NBA WNBA team can't beat the Lakers is because of societal bias.
	What you're saying is not Scientific American says that.
	An editor for Scientific American says that who no longer has the job.
	So don't indict 170-year-old magazine because somebody called Scientific American and they're printing something.
	Because someone enters the cesspool that is social media and then participates in that exchange.
	Why can't you?
	Talk about science.
	Why can't you just say this is not scientific and scientific Americans should do better?
	Well, does she still have her job?
	No.
	Not because of this.
	I said the scandal is not her tweet.
	Because that was like a year ago, was it?
	Which one was a year ago?
	I think a year ago, women still couldn't beat men in basketball.
	And it wasn't because of society.
	You don't see a problem.
	Long-distance swimming, women might actually have the advantage.
	You can look into that.
	Yeah.
	Maybe long-distance swimming.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	I've looked into it.
	Yeah.
	You look smart.
	By the way.
	Well, I'm going to file you under part of the problem.
	You can pause it right there.
	So, what do you think when you see this, Vinny?
	I mean, to me, Neil deGrasse Tyson is probably the dumbest smart person I've ever seen on the planet Earth.
	It's like, there's like, and you see, and I love this, when it's Democrats, Pat, going at it, and now you see where the Democrat-liberal line is, and then where they start saying far left.
	This guy can talk his way into anything.
	And this is a clip you showed this a while ago.
	This is him about transgender.
	Like, think about this.
	His, with all the sciences out the window, if you wake up in the morning and you think you're a girl and you're a biological man, then that's what you are.
	And that's what people should accept you at.
	I think it's, it's, it's conflating two separate things.
	And it's just, this is when smart people are trying to go way too intricate and break things down.
	Can we play this clip really quick?
	This is Neil deGrasse Tyson when it comes to the trends and what you think and what you believe that you are.
	My point is, apparently, the XXXY chromosomes are insufficient because when we wake up in the morning, we exaggerate whatever feature we want to portray the gender of our choice.
	What is he even talking about?
	Either the one you're assigned, the one choose to be whatever it is.
	And so now, here, so now just to tie a bow on this.
	Put the ball on it.
	I say to you, somewhere I read, somewhere, I think I read that the United States was a land where we have the pursuit of happiness.
	But so science goes out to the bottom of the world.
	Because no matter my chromosomes, today I feel 80% female, 20% male.
	I'm going to put on makeup.
	I'm going to do this.
	Tomorrow I might feel 80% male.
	I'll remove the makeup and I'll wear a muscle shirt.
	That is disturbing to listen to.
	And so here's my thing.
	So, and I remember how we always talk about the money and follow the money, Adam.
	We always go back.
	What is his agenda?
	What is his goal in saying stuff like women can actually compete?
	And think about it.
	He actually did the research to find one thing, Tom, where statistically and one thing out of all the sports, women might, not they do, might have an edge on men in long-distance swimming.
	So there has to be something up.
	For somebody that smart to say something dumb like that, there has to be something behind it.
	There's no way he really thinks like that.
	There's no way.
	And I think the example he was looking for in long-distance swimming was a, I think she was a Floridian, Rob.
	Help me out here.
	Diana Nyad, Diana, Diane Nyad.
	But she tried several times to swim to Cuba or something in these incredible long distance.
	So he's using this one woman, apparently, that tried.
	And yeah, Diana Nyad.
	And she was an incredible athlete.
	She's out there trying to swim to Cuba and trying to swim in the Bahamas, set all these records back and forth.
	So he's using her when the men that tried got bored and wanted to stop for a beer.
	So that's what really happened.
	It's a long distance problem.
	So it's like, you know what?
	I've been doing this for about five hours.
	Do you think we can stop and just maybe watch a ball game or something?
	But the issue with Neil deGrasse Tyson, this is what happened when a person who is genuinely intellectually gifted, you suddenly dive in to the opinion and the pool of wokeness.
	And suddenly you get boiled like a frog and you sound nonsensical because he is trying to support the opinion of woke, the opinion of that side of all the division.
	And Bill destroyed him on Scientific American.
	But this is what's going on.
	This is why he sounds dumb is because he's an incredibly smart guy, making no sense trying to.
	Even Elon and him had an issue.
	So here's Eric posting.
	Eric, Rob, can you zoom in a little bit for me to see the last time I want to give credit?
	Abenante, he posted his tweet on November 22nd.
	It's an exchange between Mar and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
	Elon at the top responds and says the following.
	He says, wow, they really don't get it.
	Mars is critical to the long-term survival of consciousness.
	Also, I'm not going to ask any venture capitalists for money.
	I realize that it makes no sense as an investment.
	That's why I'm gathering resources.
	Play the clip, Rob.
	This is another one.
	Watch this, folks.
	I'm just saying.
	How soon could Elon Musk realistically send humans to Mars?
	Another good question.
	I have strong views on that.
	My read of the history of space exploration is such that we do big, expensive things only when it's geopolitically expedient, such as we feel threatened by an enemy.
	And so for him to just say, let's go to Mars because it's the next thing to do, what does that venture capitalist meeting look like?
	So, Elon, what do you want to do?
	I want to go to Mars.
	How much will it cost?
	A trillion dollars.
	Is it safe?
	No, people will probably die.
	What's the return on the investment?
	Nothing.
	That's a five-minute meeting, and it doesn't happen.
	So, we agree.
	I'm not forgotten.
	Okay, brother.
	Listen, this isn't against Mars.
	What I'm saying is, here's how we get to Mars.
	China leaks a memo.
	It doesn't even have to be true.
	They leaked a memo that they want to put military bases on Mars.
	And we're on Mars in 10 months, but NASA doesn't have a spacecraft, but Elon does.
	Here's my spacecraft to Mars.
	And we end up paying him to use his spaceship to get to Mars.
	And that'd be easy for China because Mars is already red, right?
	So that'd be an easy sell.
	That'd be an easy sell.
	Okay?
	That's hard.
	So I don't see it happening until governments judge that it's geopolitically in our interest.
	Otherwise, I don't see it as just an I don't know.
	He's gone from a scientist to a nut.
	Apparently, he only owns one tie.
	One tie that has a galaxy on it, and now he's anti-space exploration.
	That could be the branding thing that he's doing.
	I don't have a problem with that.
	But what I will tell you with this is, you know, you know the clip when Elon is in tears crying because the guys that were his heroes were laughing at him.
	And he says, how do you feel about some of these your heroes on the media?
	It's getting emotional, right?
	Yeah, it's actually an incredible clip to watch.
	And I've showed this clip to my sons multiple times.
	So bottom left.
	No, no, Rob, go back.
	You just had it.
	Go back.
	It was on his bottom left.
	That one right there.
	Right there.
	Go ahead.
	You can turn on the audio.
	Go for it.
	Are American heroes who don't like this idea?
	Neil Armstrong, Gene Cernan have both testified against commercial spaceflight and the way that you're developing it.
	And I wonder what you think of that.
	I was very sad to see that.
	Because those guys are.
	Yeah.
	Those guys are heroes of mine, so it's really tough.
	You know, I wish they would come and visit and see the hardware that we're doing here.
	And I think that would change their mind.
	Look at that.
	They inspired you to do this, didn't they?
	Yes.
	And to see them casting stones in your direction.
	It's difficult.
	By the way, let me tell you.
	Let me tell you something about this thing here.
	The only way a person is able to go through the pains that they have to build what they build, you have to believe in it.
	And you have to have a high score of childlike, childlikeness, not childish, childlike.
	I read a book.
	It could have been 48 Laws or it could have been Art of Seduction or one of those books that says some of the greatest leaders of all time had childlike tendencies, like their level of curiosity.
	I really want to find out what's going on.
	Like, what?
	Christmas?
	What's going to be here tomorrow?
	Oh, my God.
	I can't wait.
	Like, how am I going to go to sleep?
	Like, you know, when we were kids, when you become an adult, it's like, it's just Christmas.
	It's Santa Claus.
	It's like the other day went and watched this movie of The Rock.
	What is it called?
	Red Notice, Rob.
	I don't know what it's called.
	Red Something.
	You're a parent.
	I thought maybe you've seen it.
	Red something like with The Rock.
	It's called Something.
	I don't know what a Red One.
	I freaking loved it.
	It's the story of he is the bodyguard of Santa Claus.
	Okay?
	It's actually a very good movie.
	And we're going and I'm telling Tico and Dylan and Santa.
	I say, you guys know this is based on a true story.
	And they're like, what are you talking about?
	I said, dad, stop.
	I'm telling you.
	So they're like, well, you know, Santa's not real.
	I said, dude, if you don't think Santa's real, what makes you think you're going to get a gift on Christmas?
	That's hilarious.
	You say something like that, you insult Santa.
	He may not come through for you.
	And they're looking at me.
	They know.
	But there's a second of it where it's like, maybe this motherfucker is going to make me sick.
	Right.
	So what's the point?
	The moral of the story is this.
	Here's the moral of the story.
	The moral of the story is, you have a guy.
	How many more times does he have to prove to you that he specializes in doing the impossible?
	What else does this guy have to do for you to realize he's not doing it for money?
	What does he have to do?
	Tell me, SpaceX, Tesla, X, boring company, Neuralink, wanting to cure people who can't see and back pain and all this stuff.
	What else does this guy have to do?
	And he's the number one video game.
	There's this video game that he's the number one player of Diablo.
	How the hell do you, Paul?
	And he's got 12 kids.
	He's had 12 kids.
	He's got 11 kids, right?
	How do you pull all this stuff up?
	And then you sitting there who hasn't built anything ever, you just read books all day and you went to school and you got good grades.
	You're criticizing a doer?
	There is nothing more embarrassing than a person who is from academia sitting there with their suit and tie on, criticizing a guy that's on the ground, on the floor, getting down and dirty, building a business, trying to do something that other people simply don't want to do because they got so much money and they just want to go to parties.
	And this guy wants to build something.
	Anyone to say something like that?
	It's just a bad look.
	It's an embarrassing look when you say something like that.
	And by the way, kudos to Bill for as much as he's part of that camp and he's part of that community to sit there and say, dude, I can't eff and take any more with this shit.
	What else are you going to say next?
	That Kamala's a winner?
	What else are you going to tell me?
	I'm going to have to sit here and listen to the stuff you have to say.
	Anyways, that's my thoughts.
	Adam, I'll give you the final thoughts before we go to the next one.
	I mean, you really took the words out of my mouth.
	I'll tell you why, because this is the most glaring thing to me between Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson is one is a capitalist and one is apparently seems to be a socialist.
	Do you know the names of the companies that Neil deGrasse Tyson has built?
	Do you know the names of them?
	Zero.
	He's never built a company.
	He has zero companies he's built on his resume.
	This is a living, breathing example and metaphor of a capitalist, builder, doer versus what appears to be a socialist professor who basically has aligned with the progressive left.
	And what I loved about COVID is some people got better and some people got way worse.
	But no matter what, everything and everyone got exposed.
	All the bad ideas got exposed.
	All the bad policies got exposed.
	By the way, do you know where Neil deGrasse Tyson got his bachelor's and his master's?
	Take a wild guess.
	California?
	Nope, you're close.
	Where?
	Harvard and Columbia.
	Oh, weird.
	The elite, elite, elite Marxist institutions of our time.
	Now, there's people that went to each of those universities that have done great things.
	I'm not saying that everything is uniformity like that, but we've seen what happened with everything that happened.
	But we've seen what happened everything since basically COVID on October 7th.
	So there's a difference, Vinny.
	You said it, you sort of said it.
	There's a difference between being smart and well-read and wise and being a builder.
	Elon Musk has built how many companies that you just listed off, bing, Listen.
	Neil deGrasse Tyson.
	Maybe you said you said COVID and everything.
	Maybe because you, hey, if I had to guess, he's gotten the vaccine and nine boosters.
	That's probably affecting his brain because something's off.
	And just think about it.
	He's arguing with Bill Maher of what's a man and what's a woman.
	Bill's like, no, you lose all your credibility.
	You're a classic liberal.
	Yeah.
	And you're not going to win this argument with me, Haas.
	And by the way, I'm going to give myself a little bit of credit right now.
	During the election night, which was amazing, thanks.
	Shout out to the team.
	We just did that event.
	You said, what are the reasons, biggest things, top five things?
	And I said, listen, I think this thing with Dylan Mulvaney and the Bud Light thing, because that was sort of the tip of the spear of this what is a man, what is a woman.
	Yeah, that upsets you.
	That really pissed you off.
	And I think we should get because you're an ally of the community.
	100%.
	The straight dudes who like hot chicks community love that community.
	But the Dylan Mulvaney thing was sort of the tipping point and metaphor for hold on.
	You can't even identify this.
	Dude, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, or what's left of Joe Biden, sat down with Dylan Mulvaney to have a conversation with women.
	Are you kidding me?
	Yeah.
	$27 billion loss.
	And I remember the day, like, it was Easter.
	And on the same day, I was at model volleyball, doing what we do.
	It was the same day that was Transgender Day of Visibility.
	They reminded us.
	And the White House sent out a happy Easter.
	And five minutes later, and also Happy Transgender Day.
	I'm like, come on, guys.
	Yeah.
	How many different holidays did you say they had people?
	147.
	Yeah, 147.
	Shout out to the gay uncles out there.
	That's as of a year ago, guys.
	That's climate.
	Don't disrespect us.
	That's probably a day right now.
	Don't disrespect me.
	It's probably today.
	It's probably Gay Vinny Day.
	By the way, let me just show you something here that I think, Rob, if you can.
	I'm disappointed in New York.
	You know what I love?
	Here's what I love.
	Okay.
	We asked a question about baptism on how many people watch and change their minds.
	They're like, shit, you know, maybe, maybe I'm, maybe I was wrong.
	Maybe this is this.
	Maybe.
	I mean, growth in life is to go through those moments that we're all going through right every single year.
	This is one of my favorite clips that they had.
	These guys had me react to this clip, and Adam's seen it, but I just want to show to everybody to know this is Adam's four years ago, folks.
	Oh, what is this?
	This clip.
	Go ahead, Ron.
	This guy was smart, but not wise at the time.
	Doesn't bring that out of question at all.
	For the fifth time, this is where the audience gets upset sometimes because you don't answer questions.
	No matter what you say, you're not going to convince me to vote for fucking Trump.
	By the way, whatever way you want to do it.
	I'm not going to say you got anybody.
	That's when you lose people, brother.
	That's when you lose people.
	Because I'm not.
	No, let me explain to you why you lose people there.
	If you're saying an AOC or a Ilhan Omar, I'm not interested in them either.
	Oh, they added the echoes of that.
	Can I hear the end of what you said here?
	No, it doesn't have it.
	That's the point.
	It doesn't have it.
	But we had many, many more of those moments, but it's good to see that this.
	This comes down to power versus force, which you always talk about.
	Yeah.
	And what's in the middle?
	Just being able to be reasonable.
	It's above middle.
	Middle is, just so you know, the number one, the number one level, which is very weird that Neil is not going to.
	The number one level is the courage.
	It's courage.
	The power of consciousness, first level of consciousness where you're going into a good area is the courage.
	The courage of what?
	To get in the ring.
	You could be wrong.
	The courage of talking to somebody, you could be wrong.
	The courage of a debate, the courage of a conversation, the courage of that, right there, if you look at the yellow, the third aisle, you see courage.
	All right, then neutrality.
	I can talk to everybody.
	Then I'm willing to talk to everybody.
	Then I'm accepting that I was wrong.
	The acceptance, that's where these guys can't do it.
	The left is not even at courage.
	They're dropping courage to pride and anger.
	By the way, do you have the clip from Scott Jennings?
	I love him.
	Who, by the way, Scott Jennings is single-handedly keeping CNN in business?
	Is this the clip, Rob, where they're telling you about Twitter?
	Is this the one?
	Yeah, this is the one.
	Watch this.
	So check this out.
	CNN itself does a poll to show that the most fair platform is Twitter.
	We reacted to this.
	Play that clip, Rob, just to kind of show this to you.
	Watch this, folks.
	Okay, go ahead.
	This is CNN reporting on this.
	And one of the big reasons he bought Twitter slash X is because he wanted to make it his own platform, remake it in his own image.
	22% dead, 31% you.
	Among those who regularly use it today.
	Back in 2022, 65% of those who regularly used Twitter slash X for News were Democrats.
	Just 31% were Republicans.
	Look at where we are today.
	Just a completely different picture.
	Now it's basically slip.
	This is CNN.
	Remember this.
	Now, let me show you this clip.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	Play the clip of the great Scott Jennings.
	Go ahead.
	I heard what you're saying about X.
	I saw a survey this week.
	It's now the most ideologically balanced user platform.
	Scott, stop, stop.
	It's too early.
	I just sat down.
	I've only been here for two minutes.
	You cannot say that.
	Who was the source?
	Look at this.
	That's what I find.
	We've reported it on this network.
	It's not accurate.
	It's not that positive right there.
	That's hilarious.
	I love that.
	A CNN host who doesn't want CNN since we're wrong.
	Yeah.
	You tell me what's funny.
	Play the rest of the clip.
	This is the funniest thing I've seen in my life.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	But can I reframe it a different way?
	Because the site changed radically, right?
	So whether you think the voices is somehow more balanced now, that's fine.
	But no doubt, Must influence is profound in that you open it up and now you're there with his opinion and he is now part of this administration.
	So does anyone else think that there should be this greater concern about billionaires purchasing media companies?
	Okay.
	Would you be worried if Bill Gates controlled MSNBC?
	No, because he's sane.
	Because MSNC.
	Can I just say one thing?
	Well, nobody cared when Ben.
	What I want to do.
	Beneath bought time.
	They don't care if billionaires do it.
	He's saying.
	So what I want, you know how they put subtitles on things?
	You know, you can do fact check, you know, false, true, false.
	Want under it to say, feelings feelings feelings facts facts data data emotions, feelings.
	When they say things, well, he's evil, he's this no no no, no.
	I love what uh, Bill Maher says, engage with the idea, engage with the concept.
	Half the time these people are saying things, it's just pure raw emotion and feelings.
	Well, I feel this way, so i'm gonna say it as a fact.
	He's like, she's like, show me the source.
	Are you flipping, kidding me?
	Uh, this network?
	How about the guy you hired to basically pull all the data?
	Yeah, that guy.
	So go have a conversation with him.
	She's like Scott, I haven't had my coffee yet.
	Don't give a.
	Yeah, you're just feelings feelings, feelings.
	Here's the facts.
	But you know about the facts, don't care.
	Mark Benehoff, if i'm not mistaken, retweeted something of Lex Freedman interview that was taking place, and with Javier Millay.
	Okay, watch what he says here.
	So, just okay.
	So, Javier Millay.
	Now remember, Mark Benihoff is who this is a guy that's keep going lower.
	No no no gosh, right place, keep going lore, keep going lower, keep going lower.
	It's going to come up.
	You'll see Javier Millay uh, with Lex Freedman.
	If keep going, keep going, keep right there.
	Okay, go up and then zoom in on what he says.
	He says one of the most compelling two hours i've listened to a world leader.
	I had greatly misunderstood Millay.
	His holistic perspective on economics philosophy society, history and spirituality is profoundly inspiring.
	This is a man that, on the concept of power versus force, is willing to listen and is accepting the fact that some of the opinions he had on melee was wrong.
	And Benihoff, guess what?
	Good for you, he owns TIME magazine about to sell it.
	It doesn't help that he went from 4 million subscribers on TIME magazine to 1.6, but still the fact that a 10.7 billion dollar man can get up there and say something like this.
	This is where the Neil Degrasse, Tyson and others should look at this and say, you know what he's showing, signs that he wants to maybe look at some other arguments instead of what we've been buying into all this time.
	Well, on the power versus force, if you can bring that up, you know how there was pride.
	Yes, there's another word for pride.
	It's called hubris.
	It's excessive pride.
	I had to put like because you showed that video.
	When you have hubris and pride, it's unwilling to admit that maybe i'm wrong maybe, just maybe i've given, i've been given the wrong information or my feelings won't allow me to be willing or have the courage to admit that I was wrong.
	So a lot of these people have Hubris, excessive pride.
	I think it was Icarus who flew too close to the sun in Greek mythology.
	Yo what the Icarus?
	Yo you dropping Icarus, don't?
	It's not even 10 o'clock.
	Listen, listen to German right now.
	Drop these possibilities.
	Yeah, today's sponsor, today's sponsors shout out to at A NEW.
	Sometimes, when you take the podcast you highlight, Icarus comes out and all this Greek mythology.
	Let's go to the next story now.
	By the way, that's a joke, i'm not one of the, but let me go through this next story.
	All right, this is funny guys.
	Imagine you're the mayor of Denver and you talk shit and you say, there is no way i'm gonna abide by what these guys decide to do with the border.
	And let me read this to you.
	And then Tom Homan responds to him.
	Here is the mayor of Denver upset at President Trump and Homan because they're going to clean up the border and possibly deport a lot of illegal aliens.
	Look at his reaction.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	I would certainly protest it.
	And I would expect other residents to do the same.
	Trump's new borders are Tom Homan has said that he is willing to arrest leaders like yourself for standing in the way of these policies that they want to enact.
	Would you be willing to go to jail for these things?
	Yeah, I'm not afraid of that.
	And I'm also not seeking that.
	I think the goal is we want to be able to negotiate with reasonable people how to solve hard problems.
	Republican and Democratic presidents in the past have all tried to find solutions to these problems.
	President Reagan helped people get access to work so they could stay and support themselves.
	Biden Harris worked on restricting entry at the border to close down.
	There are a lot of ways to approach this problem.
	We don't think it has to come to this.
	But yeah, I think when you look at, you know, Ralph Carr has always been one of my heroes.
	He was the governor who, in the middle of the internment of Japanese Americans, said this was the wrong thing to do.
	And he stood up.
	It was unpopular.
	People were mad at him about it.
	That was the middle of wartime.
	The president comparing tomatoes are illegal.
	Go to apple and oranges.
	Go to the other one.
	I love this.
	Here's a.
	Go ahead.
	You heard this mayor out there in Colorado.
	I want to get your reaction to it.
	And I want you to be clear about who has jurisdiction, the federal government or state and local governments.
	And if you're a sanctuary state or city, are you breaking the law?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Breaking law.
	All you have to do is look at Arizona versus U.S. You'll see that he's breaking the law.
	But look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing.
	He's willing to go to jail.
	I'm willing to put him in here.
	Because there's a statute.
	It's Title VIII, United States Code 1324 III.
	And what it says is it's a felony if you knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal analytical immigration authorities.
	It's also a felony to impede a federal law enforcement officer.
	So if we don't want to help, that's fine.
	He can get the hell out of the way.
	But we're going to go do the job.
	President Trump has a mandate for American people.
	We've got to secure this country.
	We've got to save American lives.
	And I find it shocking.
	Any mayor of a city would say, and President Trump's made clear, we want to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats.
	I find it hard to believe that any mayor or governor would say they don't want public safety threats removed from their neighborhoods.
	I mean, I mean, I don't know what the hell is going on in Denver, but we're going to go and we're going to fix it.
	If you don't want to fix it, if we don't want to protect his communities, President Trump and ICE will.
	There you go.
	A guy who is a doer, scaring the hell out of a guy who is a people pleaser.
	One side wants to sit there and act like it's the same thing that happened on the past.
	You're talking about letting people in illegally.
	Why do you think you did that?
	You left the border open for three years.
	You want the American people to sit there and believe that it was just accidental, that that happened?
	Oh, it's just not a big deal.
	No one's believing it.
	Now, the right people are getting hired and things are going to happen.
	Can I correct you just really fast?
	No, this is ahead.
	I have to correct you.
	Sonny O'Shana, go ahead.
	I like to make a legal statement.
	No, because you said three years.
	No, no, it's still open today, PBD.
	It's going to be four years and going until January 20th when this thing is going to get shut down.
	So it's been four years and it's non-stop.
	And for him, you notice how he was like, I'm willing to go to jail.
	I don't want it to get there yet because that type of guy would never last a day in prison with that attitude.
	And I think it's, it's, it's, by the way, it's Denver, Colorado.
	These people act like they give a damn, but he's probably getting paid and they're going to get votes.
	Yeah, I look at this and I see the standard playbook of the left.
	Bring up something so over the top and try to draw emotion out of the other side.
	Trump is Hitler.
	Trump is Hitler.
	This is Tiananmen Square moment here in Denver.
	No, it's not.
	It's moving criminals out of your city so that the people can live safely.
	But guess what?
	When the left runs out of logic, they go to feelings.
	They go to over-the-top high-emotional response statements.
	And it's completely unsurprising.
	And if he really wants to go to jail, then the Denver mayor better get used to the words, hold still, Mrs. Johnston.
	Wow.
	Tom's grabbing those shoulder blades again.
	Nice.
	By the way, what is the most watered-down word these days?
	Hitler.
	Racist.
	Oh, Hitler.
	Nazi.
	It's like you're just watering down what words actually used to have meaning.
	By the way.
	It's very upsetting to me.
	I think it's upsetting to me because we take huge tragedies in history and we've somehow minimized their history in the minds of the children growing up so they can't really understand the true horrors of what happened and the villains of history that need to be seen as villains on a 10 out of the 10 scale.
	And suddenly it's all casualized.
	I think that, I think that is criminal.
	He makes it totally agree.
	He makes a great point to Adam, doesn't he?
	Like, now because of the left, they have successfully made Hitler a word that people now go like this.
	Now Hitler?
	Because they don't like it.
	Yeah, they go like this, everyone.
	And this makes people now go like this.
	Younger people go, maybe Hitler wasn't that bad.
	If he's pro-country and I said, oh, did Trump kill 6 million Jews and 10 million people?
	Well, no, he didn't do that.
	All right.
	Did they invade all these countries all over Europe and try to take over the world?
	No, he didn't do that.
	So leave it to the left.
	Leave it to the left, by the way.
	Hitler, not bad.
	I don't know if I'll ever get to see him in the square.
	I don't know if I'm ever going to get a chance to use this reference, but did you ever see the movie?
	It's Peroti.
	Don't be a Menace to South Central.
	You've seen this movie?
	Of course.
	When he goes, lock me up.
	Everyone's like, yeah.
	Throw away the key.
	Throw away the key.
	I ain't scared to go to jail.
	I ain't scared to be in a cell with the man with the soap running down his back of his ass.
	And everyone's like, whoa, said we're trying to go to jail.
	That's a Denver mayor.
	He's like, I'll go to jail.
	I'll sleep with three men in this.
	Whoa.
	Hey, whoa, baby.
	Peaceful protests.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Rob, so Joe Rogan.
	He's in the documentary.
	Joe Rogan is reacting to Zelensky and what they're doing out there where as much as the back and forth people are seeing the feud, we are very close to potential World War III and people are just flirting with this idea.
	You know what?
	It's not a big deal.
	You can send the long-range missiles.
	It's going to be okay.
	Okay, Zelensky, let's send the long-range missiles to Putin.
	Okay, Putin.
	Hey, here's what's going to look like if you F with us.
	This is what these nuclear weapons we send you.
	No, no, it's okay.
	It's not, nothing's going to happen.
	And so Joe is sitting here saying this.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	The world we're living in now, and that's L.A., and that's New York, and that's a lot of places that got fucked up by incompetent people.
	I don't know.
	I just feel safer knowing, like...
	Pull this microphone.
	Oh, shit.
	I feel safer knowing that Trump is in office.
	I do too.
	I feel great about it.
	What I don't feel safer is right now.
	They're launching missiles into Russia.
	How are you allowed to do that when you're on the way out?
	Like, the people don't want you to be there anymore.
	This should be like some sort of a pause for significant actions that could potentially start World War III.
	Maybe that would be a good thing that we would like to avoid from a dying former president.
	The whole thing is nuts.
	I mean, look, I don't know shit about politics.
	Zelensky says Putin is terrified.
	You know who he's talking to?
	Fuck you, man.
	Fuck you people.
	You fucking people are about to start World War III.
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	Russia fired a missile today.
	Yeah, they fired an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time ever.
	It's the first time one of those has ever been used.
	I said sanity.
	Fucking insanity because those intercontinental ballistic missiles can have nukes on them.
	This one didn't.
	But if it does, the whole world changes.
	Yep.
	And it changes because of the military-industrial complex, and it changes because of the money that's going to Ukraine.
	And it changes because the outgoing president or whoever the fuck is actually running the country has decided to do something fucking insane.
	Fucking insane.
	You don't see him get that.
	I think we're about to see a new version of Joe Rogan.
	Because when's the last time Joe Rogan reinvented himself?
	You've always given him his flowers and his shine.
	Well, he can do MMA, he can do comedy, he can do interviews, he can do so many different things.
	But think about it.
	When has he ever publicly voted or endorsed Donald Trump?
	Never.
	I've never, I mean, he's been doing podcasts for over a decade.
	There's no question about it.
	But I want you to see the reaction here.
	Rob, this is can you tell us?
	Klitschko, the fighter, right?
	Klitschko.
	This is a heavyweight champion.
	But he's also, I think, a big player in the Ukrainian party.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	Joe Rogan, I listened to your latest podcast.
	I'm sending you this video to let you know that I disagree.
	You talk about these American weapons being sent to Ukraine, which you believe will lead to the Third World War.
	So let me tell you that you're repeating Russian propaganda.
	Putin's Russia is in trouble.
	So they want to scare you and people like you.
	His war was supposed to last three days.
	It has lasted three years, thanks to the heroism and sacrifice of us Ukrainians.
	So you're using the only weapon that Putin really intends to use: propaganda.
	And this weapon really weakens our democracies.
	Putin's Russia wants to destroy Ukraine quietly.
	They want America to stay quiet.
	Not great, but quiet.
	A great America is not an America that abunds countries that defend freedom with their lives.
	In short, you see, I have quite a few points of difference.
	If you invite me on your podcast, we could discuss them like free men.
	I wonder how much of that $180 billion he's getting.
	But what are you talking about?
	Like everything that's happening right now is obvious.
	It's blinking.
	It's all these guys that are trying to start a war before Biden is out.
	There's no even, it's not even a secret.
	What do you mean?
	Like, I mean, start us getting really involved with the war.
	No, I agree.
	We're at war.
	Listen, we're sending them weapons and missiles and weapons.
	We are sending them money.
	We send them in.
	We're in a war, but an escalation to where we're going to deploy our troops for something that should never have happened.
	I think it's absolutely.
	I'm going to pose a crazy question.
	Go for it.
	What percentage do you agree with the Rogan camp versus the Klitschko camp?
	The camp, and I'm not putting words in anybody's mouth.
	From what I discern from this, is World War III is happening.
	Why are we sending all this money?
	We got to get the hell out of there.
	000, take parts of Ukraine.
	We're done.
	Or, hey, no, we're actually, they were supposed to take us in three days.
	It's been three years.
	We're doing our fight.
	Freedom, freedom-loving people support us.
	What percentage do you agree with each argument?
	Here's my thing: I'm leaning obviously way more towards the Rogan argument because, and I feel bad for the Ukrainian people because they had no choice, Adam.
	They had no choice.
	How many times has Putin said, don't get close, don't put NATO, don't do this, and then we constantly keep pushing it.
	So they're victims in this.
	That guy is a victim.
	So what percentage?
	I'm 80% Rogan, and I'm 20% because I feel bad for the actual people that are there that are suffering because of the policies.
	By the way, this is all us.
	This is the United States.
	Who's the most prolific money giving to Ukraine?
	Who is it?
	Well, it's United States.
	It's a United States.
	What's the reason?
	What's the reason?
	Is it like with the border?
	Because we care about illegals?
	No.
	Do we care about Ukrainians?
	No.
	It's all business.
	It's all money laundering.
	Tom, am I lying?
	Am I off?
	Tom, by the way.
	Yeah.
	So I'll tell you where I'm at.
	Five things, excuse me, I'm sorry.
	Can be true at the same time.
	The military-industrial complex is taking advantage of a war and selling and making a lot of money because a lot of our money, absolutely, factually, it's proven, is making a U-turn.
	Yes.
	Billions go there, billions in General Dynamics and Boeing and United Technology, Krat Mutney, all that.
	Okay.
	So military industrial compost, corrupt.
	Check.
	Ukraine's leadership and diplomats and Ukraine is corrupt.
	Check has been.
	Check.
	Check.
	The Ukrainian soldiers are bravely fighting for what they believe is their homeland.
	Check.
	Russia is completely out of line to go take land, but was provoked on the whole NATO question going back 25 years.
	Check.
	And Biden is being a complete fool playing into the hands of military industrial complex, trying to kind of escalate things and trigger Putin.
	Check.
	I think all of those things are true at the same time.
	And I think the boxer, Mr. K, is Vitaly Klitschko.
	Klitschko is the mayor of Kiev.
	He is the way champion of the world at one point.
	Right.
	I think he is.
	So is his brother, I want to say.
	Right.
	He is saying as a Ukrainian citizen that he's looking around and sees Ukrainians bravely fighting for the soil of their homeland.
	That can be true.
	And so I see this all together: that the war should have never started.
	Russia's trying to take land.
	They should go back.
	But my fear, and I said this before a week ago, the way we solve wars nowadays is we negotiate treaties and somebody gets something that they shouldn't have.
	I happen to be in favor of the DMZ that was created in the Sinai Peninsula.
	Oh, in Egypt?
	After Sadat came over the canal, and then Israel said, nope, we want a buffer zone on our side of it that we're going to police it.
	And so that's what I think.
	A lot of things can be true at the same time.
	We got five days left for the month, counting today.
	December is 31.
	That makes it 36.
	January 20th, right, Rob?
	January 20th would be basically two months almost.
	We've gone under 60.
	Yeah.
	And so 56 days, 55 days left till the day.
	I'm telling you, there's certain, as a kid, you look forward to Christmas hurrying up and coming to get gifts.
	As a citizen, you want that day to come as quickly as possible because you have no clue what Biden and Kamala are not on the same page.
	Nope.
	Biden's doing events.
	She's not invited.
	The Turkey thinks she wasn't there.
	She was on a plane waving with a blue suit on.
	She's in Hawaii right now, chilling at one of the donors' house.
	After 1.5 million.
	When first came out, did you see the stories, the rumors came out that was reported on the fact that out of the $1.5 billion, everybody's wondering what happened to the money?
	There's even stories about people saying that money was made because when you get $1.5 billion, guess what people are asking?
	Consulting firms.
	$250 billion.
	No, no, no.
	I'm talking campaign.
	Oh, come on.
	I thought you meant Ukraine.
	My campaign.
	Let him go.
	$1.5 billion.
	Where is that money going?
	Who's getting the money?
	The $1.5 billion.
	Where is that going to?
	Rob, is that it?
	No, sorry.
	This is an email because I'm a registered Democrat.
	This was the first time I've ever.
	Well, yeah, from my entire life, this is the first time.
	Hang on, hang on, go ahead.
	That I ever voted for a Republican candidate for Donald Trump.
	This email I got on the 18th of this month, 13 days after the election, where the Harris campaign is asking for more financial contributions.
	Why would you need more money after the election is over?
	So, but here's the part.
	That's for the $20 million to make up.
	Now you got Obama and Clintons that are disgusted and they want nothing to do with Kamala.
	There's a scene with Bill Clinton saying he knew this was going to happen.
	Like to him, he's like, he knew Trump was going to win.
	What do you mean you knew Trump was going to win?
	So out of the $1.5 billion, who got the money?
	Did some people take $50 million consulting fees, $20 million consulting fees, $5 million consulting fees?
	Where the hell did the money go to?
	Where is this money?
	What happened?
	How do you spend $1.5 billion that quickly without being intent?
	So where am I going?
	Here's where I'm going with this.
	There's still 55 days of these guys still being in charge of everything.
	And who the hell is in charge?
	You watch Biden.
	He doesn't make any sense, right?
	So for me, on what happens here, I understand what Klutchkov is saying for sure.
	Adam, you are Jewish.
	So you're going to have some positions that are going to be you.
	I'm a Christian from Iran, a Syrian, Armenian.
	I'm going to have certain positions that I have, which is, you know, going to be whatever it's going to be for me because I've seen it.
	That's my life.
	Vinny, military, vet.
	Yesterday, a guy, one of the guys I was interviewing, says, I was in the military.
	He did three tours.
	I said, why'd you get out?
	He says, because I disagreed with the reasons why we were going to war.
	I said, we have another guy here that agrees with that as well.
	Same reason why he got in.
	He was Airman of the Year in Air Force.
	Vinny, Tom, diehard Blue Jays fan, Toronto Raptors fan.
	He's Canadian.
	I mean, you can't blame him, right?
	This is a guy that's not from Canada.
	He likes coconut beer, you know, but everybody somehow, some way.
	Vince was better than MJ.
	That's his argument, right?
	I understand their positions.
	That doesn't mean you're right.
	I understand why he would choose Ukraine.
	That doesn't mean he's right.
	I understand why Russians will side with Putin.
	That also doesn't mean they're right.
	We're Americans.
	We have one goal.
	You know what the goal is?
	No war.
	That's what the outcome is.
	What the hell can we do to stop any of this stuff?
	Because if a nuclear bomb goes, guess what happens next?
	Everything else is the domino effect.
	It's one by one by one.
	And it can get, remember how quickly, remember when December of 2019, they were saying, I don't know if you remember this, circulation about a virus, December of 2019.
	And we're like, what are you talking about?
	Yeah, you know, there is a COVID coronavirus, China virus.
	We have to be careful with.
	Yeah.
	All right, whatever.
	What are these guys talking about?
	No, first case.
	Rob, can you pull up first case coronavirus 2019?
	And didn't they say Wuhan, wet lab?
	Some market, the market in Wuhan.
	They didn't say labs.
	So watch.
	Okay.
	So Coronavirus SARS developed into bats.
	COVID-19 first appeared a small scale in November of 2019 with a large cluster appearing in Wuhan, China when?
	December of 2019.
	Okay.
	And we're kind of hearing stuff on the news.
	How much were you really paying attention, folks?
	Be honest.
	Were we really paying attention?
	No one.
	Very little.
	How about in January?
	Very little.
	How about in February?
	Maybe a little bit more.
	How about the day NBA, Universal, Disney, NHL, NFL shut down?
	How about then?
	How were you reacting then?
	Then what happened to America?
	Everything changed like this.
	Remember that?
	That's how life goes.
	It's like cancer.
	You're living a good life.
	Everything is good.
	Hey, guess what?
	What?
	This is not benign.
	You actually have cancer.
	Like this.
	Hey, what are you doing right now?
	Are you sitting down?
	Yes.
	I'm going to share something with you.
	It's going to be painful.
	What's that?
	XYZ just passed away.
	That's how life changes.
	It's sudden.
	It's unexpected.
	You don't know what's happening.
	One nuclear bomb is dropped by Putin because he's sick of NATO.
	He's sick of the games Biden's playing.
	He's sick of Ukraine.
	It goes like this.
	Then all of a sudden, it's World War III and we're living in it.
	Then what do you say?
	Then in 30 years, we have to explain to our grandkids: hey, grandpa, did you ever, like when World War III happened and 1.2 billion people died or whatever the number it's going to be?
	Because if it happens, it could get very nasty.
	Whatever the 6 million, 8 million, 50 million, a billion, whatever it is, if it gets intense.
	Did you ever think that was going to take place?
	No, pops.
	Really?
	No.
	I never thought it was going to happen.
	How was it?
	I was literally sitting there doing my thing, and Russia dropped the first nuclear bomb, and then it was crazy.
	Shutdown everywhere, military shutdown.
	No way.
	Yes.
	What changed?
	And then we tell this story of what changed because that happens like this.
	Now, some may say, give me a freaking break.
	That's never going to happen to me.
	That's never going to happen.
	That's never going to happen.
	Like, I'm with you.
	Future looks bright.
	We believe that.
	But we're also 49%, you know, only the paranoids survive.
	I am for no war.
	I lived in Iran under war for almost 10 years and it sucked as a kid.
	It left a mark on me as a kid.
	I saw it.
	It's horrible.
	There's nothing exciting and fun about it.
	Every day you're nervous.
	Every day you're nervous.
	Every day you're scared.
	So, yes, the goal is to have no war.
	So I'm saying to you, the next 55 days can't come fast enough where there's going to be at least somebody that these guys fear that he can knock some senses into Zelensky and saying, no, you don't have permission to send long-range missiles.
	No, Russia, you don't have permission to do this.
	Let's sit down and talk.
	Trump will fly to Moscow.
	He will fly to Putin.
	He will fly and have a meeting with those guys and say, we're coming together.
	If not, putting a tariff on both of you guys.
	Let's sit down and talk.
	He will go to them and they will figure out a way to get this thing to be done with.
	This is a very serious situation that we're talking about.
	We can sit here and just kind of think like it's news and life and all this other stuff.
	It is.
	They're playing with fire.
	So Rogan's position, I'm not speaking on behalf of Rogan and what Rogan is saying, but I understand Rogan's sentiment that this thing can go zero to World War III in no time just because these guys want to sell more weapons and money and revenue going up because you need more hypersonic, whatever, for us to make.
	Like imagine if you make that product and you're in a meeting.
	So how is the forecasting looking for 2025?
	Oh shit, what are we going to do?
	It's not looking good, sir.
	Why is that?
	Because we're at peace.
	Everyone's getting along.
	Well, what's wrong with you?
	We can't have any peace.
	How are you going to hit your numbers?
	Sir, sir, no one's buying right.
	Well, you need to create some kind of tension for people to think that something's going to happen for them to buy.
	We need the next propaganda.
	What's the next big propaganda to scare people into buying new weapons?
	Like, what's your sales pitch?
	How do you sell it?
	And life insurance when we sold, guess what we talked about?
	Mary, John.
	Yes.
	You guys have life insurance.
	Hold my hand.
	No, we don't have life insurance.
	We don't.
	Many times they look like this, by the way, because I was in that market.
	Mary John, you guys have life insurance?
	No, we don't.
	Then I would say, John, what are you going to do if God forbid something happens to Mary?
	What are you going to do?
	Well, I'm going to cause it.
	Maybe I hope she's covered.
	Look at this beautiful couple of you, Mary.
	By the way, John.
	By the way, but you know what it was?
	You would sit there and say, John, Mary, Mary, what are you going to do if John passes away and you got three kids?
	What are you going to do?
	Then you know what you would ask, John?
	You would ask this question.
	John, like if she fell in the hot tub tomorrow with a toast, on a serious note, you know what the one question was that the husbands always were willing to make a decision?
	You know what the one question was?
	You ready for this question?
	What do you think the question is?
	The question was: this Vinny, let's just say it's you.
	You're married.
	Visualize you're married.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Tom, you're married.
	Would you like Kim?
	Let's call your wife Frederica Mary.
	Okay, Mary's good.
	More married.
	Would you like her to be forced to marry a man due to desperation of money?
	No.
	Or would you like her to have the choice to marry somebody that she feels can protect your kids because their father's no longer?
	Option B.
	I don't want her to get married.
	Period.
	As weird as this is, it is a real question to be asked because many wives whose husbands didn't set them up financially, they just marry anybody because they need somebody to pay the bills.
	Got it.
	If they have three kids and they're homemakers.
	Make sense?
	Yep.
	So in a situation like this in the boardroom, they're like, hey, man, how are we going to hit these numbers?
	We need more war.
	How do we create more war?
	This is a reality that we're in right now.
	And again, 55 days, guys.
	55 days.
	It's going down like this.
	Countdown to 55 days.
	So somebody can come in and say, hey, pump the brakes.
	We're not going to war.
	Anyways, let's go to the next story here.
	Next story.
	I know, Tom, you got some thoughts on this one here.
	Netanyahu faces UK arrest over ICC warrant.
	Oh, let's go.
	Page eight.
	Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu faces potential arrests in the UK following an international criminal court, ICC warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza, which also includes former Defense Minister Joav Gallant.
	Drowning Street has confirmed the UK will uphold its legal obligations under ICC Act 2001, which mandates compliance with such warrants while the government refrained from commenting on specific causes.
	The spokesperson emphasized that Netanyahu would not receive special treatment if he were to visit the UK.
	The ICC actions have sparked political debate, which we'll talk about here in a minute.
	And at the same time, you got what's his name comes out.
	Justin Trudeau comes out, page nine, it is, and he says the following.
	Let me see, does it say it says page nine here, but I don't have it.
	Where is page nine, Rob?
	It says, Justin Trudeau, Canada's Trudeau.
	Do you see that story?
	I don't have it here.
	Is it on 10?
	Prayer.
	Okay.
	Nine.
	Canada's Trudeau says he would arrest Netanyahu on ICC orders.
	He stated on Thursday that Canada would enforce the ICC warrant for Prime Minister Netanyahu, emphasizing we stand up for international law and we will abide by all the regulations and ruling of the international accords.
	This is just who we are as Canadians.
	Trudeau highlighted broader goals amid the Gaza conflict, such as aid flowing in the release of hostages and return to two-state solution, condemning Hamas while urging for a ceasefire to protect civilians.
	He acknowledged the domestic challenges for Canadian communities impacted by the conflict, stating we have to remember who we are, be there for each other, pushing for peace and stability as hard as we can.
	Tom.
	This whole thing is borderline ridiculous.
	You've got two countries that are basically at war, one against its will, right?
	Israel's been dragged into a war, you know, and it is a war.
	It's not just a border skirmish and a battle.
	It's a war.
	And they have been dragged into it.
	And now you're going to say that all of the leaders that are doing things that are horrible and the people from Hamas and Hezbollah and Iranian leaders that are responsible for the things, funding them, encouraging them and doing all this.
	The one guy that you say, we're going to pull him over for speeding because, you know, he's done some things and these are, these are war crimes.
	Some civilians have died.
	These are war crimes.
	The one guy the ICC wants to pull over is Netanyahu.
	Shouldn't there be a long list of other people from Iran and Syria and some other locations?
	Really?
	The one guy you want to pull over?
	And then the UK says, well, back it up, but you got to remember who's speaking and who the UK is.
	If you've been to London, you know why they call it right now Lundanistan.
	You know why they call it that.
	That's not a bad nickname.
	That's what's going on.
	And the political climate, just like Minneapolis, just like we have with Omar and our own government, this is the things they say.
	And so you're not hearing the core of the UK.
	You're not hearing sensible, you know, Western leaders saying, hang on a second, there's a war going on, and there's people, there should be a whole group of people that's pulled over for speeding here.
	Look at this.
	And then you've got Trudeau.
	Don't look at Trudeau as a Western Canadian.
	He's a socialist Marxist that was elected by his last name and is doing his best to ensure he's unelected at the first opportunity, which will happen.
	That's what's going on here.
	It's ridiculous.
	This is the liberal side of media that's pulling these things together.
	And this is the liberal side of life that's pulling all these things together.
	And they're out there.
	And then you've got, you know, Lindsey Graham, a voice of reason, saying, hang on, hang on.
	If you're going to go follow the internet, the ICC, and you can start arresting people, you're going to have some problems with us.
	You're going to have some serious problems, which is the same thing you're going to hear from Trump when it comes out.
	It'd be like, wait a minute, who's doing what?
	Who's going to arrest who?
	There's a whole list of people ICC should be putting on arrest warrants here.
	There's a war going on.
	It's terrible.
	It's horrible.
	Civilians have died.
	It's horrible.
	But this is really ridiculous.
	Yeah, I mean, just a quick list of, do you understand how the ICC works?
	So, you know, there's the United Nations Security Council.
	I think there's five permanent members on the UN Security Council.
	So there's three that are kind of on our team, and there are two on the other team.
	So the U.S., you have the UK, and you have France.
	And then number four and five are China and Russia.
	And at any point, anyone can veto or suggest that someone goes to the criminal court of the ICC, the International Criminal Court.
	So here's who's been recommended to go to the criminal court, but it's been blocked by China and Russia.
	Do you remember what Bashar al-Assad did to his people in Syria?
	Hundreds of thousands, if not over a million people dead in a Syrian civil war.
	This good-looking gentleman right here, Bashan al-Assad, million people dead.
	No, no arrests, no nothing.
	And he probably used biochemical.
	Well, he did.
	Okay.
	Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, what they're doing to basically subjugate their people, the thug-like regime in Iran.
	No ramifications, no nothing.
	By the way, let's not mention what China and the CCP are doing to the Uyghurs, basically putting them in work camps.
	And just don't worry about these concentration camps that they got going on.
	You know, I think even Putin was recommended by the ICC.
	The point is, they're a toothless organization that has no, they're all bark, no bite.
	And the United Nations, I used to be like, this is corrupt.
	This is what's going on.
	Just think about it.
	If you want to just put Israel in a vacuum for a second, how many Arab states or Muslim states exist in the world?
	Take a guess.
	50.
	Okay?
	Give or take.
	Someone might say, well, it's only 49.
	Okay, you got me.
	How many Jewish states?
	One.
	So automatically, if you're not on Team Israel, you're losing 50 to 1 right here.
	So thank God that the United States is an ally to Israel and they will at least stand for justice and reality here.
	Because, and this is a weird analogy here, but you do the body count thing.
	I'm talking actual deaths.
	If you look at what's going on in Sudan, you look at what's going on in Yemen, you look what's going on in countless countries all over the world.
	You have in Russia and Ukraine, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people dead.
	The latest number that came out of Gaza, which is horrible.
	Nobody wants this war.
	40,000 dead.
	Even Hamas has acknowledged that half of those people that have been dead were actually Hamas terrorists.
	So you're looking at a two to one ratio, which is one of the upper echelons of wars in war in combat zones.
	It's not like they're fighting in a field somewhere.
	They're in towns.
	They're in buildings.
	Hamas is embedding weaponry in hospitals, schools, playgrounds, mosques.
	What is Israel to do?
	Garages under townhouses.
	So what we've learned is one thing, and this is sort of the Justin Trudeau analogy here.
	Up is down, left is right, the sun is the moon, everything's upside down.
	And if you're a hater and if you're a progressive leftist and you're somehow aligned with the jihadists, who the ICC has done this with in the past?
	That's what I'm trying to find out.
	I just went online to see who ICC's president is.
	It's this lady named Judge Tomoko Akani, who is Japanese, who is the president of ICC.
	What I'm trying to find out is who else have they issued arrest warrants for?
	Okay.
	Can you zoom in so we can see?
	Okay, so we saw that one.
	We already talked about that one.
	Putin in 2023.
	Okay, keep going lower.
	Other individuals, president of Sudan, okay?
	Gola Lore, Joseph.
	Is that it?
	Let me get this straight.
	That's it?
	According to ChatGPT, that is it.
	Can you go and Google this and say outside of ChatGPT, who else have they issued?
	So then this means they have zero credibility.
	They have zero credibility when it's something like this.
	Because for me, if you're going to go out there, who's missing that should be on that list?
	You mean to tell me Khomeini is not on that list?
	Nope.
	You mean to tell me they have to be a bigger list than that.
	Assad?
	No, zoom in.
	Who else have they have?
	How about maybe the leaders of Hamas or Hezbollah?
	Nothing.
	So they have publicly indicted 67 people.
	So who are the biggest names they've ever indicted?
	67 people of these names.
	Let's see if we know any of these guys.
	Joseph Kony, which remember Kony 2012?
	Remember that guy when video came out about what he was doing?
	Yes.
	Uganda.
	So let's go down the list of names.
	Keep going lower, Rob.
	That's 67.
	Keep going.
	See where the credibility lies.
	Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
	Muhammad Ali.
	Why Muhammad Ali?
	I don't know.
	That's a different Muhammad Ali 25.
	Keep going.
	If you try to go back to the goat, Gaddafi, Gaddafi, okay, 2011.
	Another Gaddafi before he got arrested.
	Keep going, keep going, keep going.
	Now we're in 2013.
	Keep going, keep going.
	Vladimir.
	Keep going.
	Putin, okay, keep going.
	Keep going.
	And then you got Netanyahu.
	How long has I CC been around?
	When did ICC actually become official?
	What's the year?
	If you can go up and see when ICC got started, 1998, ICC.
	So 98 till today, those are the folks that I've gotten it.
	Interesting.
	How many are from anything to do with Houthis?
	How many are from Hamas?
	How many are from Hezbollah?
	How many is from Iran?
	How many is from what they did?
	Anything?
	So then you lose credibility if you're doing something like that because the amount of damage that's been done by some leaders and that you're going after, you lose credibility.
	Now, I can understand a position like that.
	What would ICC be comparable to, Tom?
	Like, is ICC a comparable to like UN, like WHO?
	How would you compare ICC?
	They do have a court at The Hague, and they have put some people in prison.
	There's one guy that they sent to Norway for 25 years, I think it was.
	He ended up in prison in Norway.
	But it's largely a toothless giant, almost like a press release machine.
	And they hysterically show Netanyahu now as a fugitive.
	Fugitive, like fugitive from justice.
	They call him a fugitive on their docket.
	He's known as a fugitive.
	They largely have no bite.
	There's an international coalition that allows it.
	And it kind of goes like this.
	You know, I don't know.
	We're going to go do some stuff this weekend.
	I don't really want to be bothered with this.
	Why don't we just have ICC put Vinny on trial and then he'll just send him to some company, some country that's got a prison, a company that operates prisons and we'll just hold them there.
	It's like that.
	They're just the coalition of countries that seem to agree with it.
	And by the way, this hysterical thing is when Manuel Noriega, the United States, had had enough, what did we do?
	We went in and pulled his butt out of his little palace, took him to Florida, put him on Panama, put him on trial, and put him in our prison because we said, we are pissed.
	He did wrong.
	We will take care of this.
	Thank you very much.
	Stay out of the freaking way.
	That's what happened.
	But when they don't want to do it that way, Pat.
	And by the way, that's happened in many countries where countries get mad at somebody and they get upset and they go and they put them on trial in their country.
	Then they put them in their prison.
	So, okay, boom, that's what they do.
	Meanwhile, the ICC is like this, you know, they're like the Park Rangers.
	Think of it that way.
	They're the Park Rangers, you know, and for having an illegal campfire, the Park Rangers could detain you.
	Vinny, what do you think about this?
	The one thing that stuck out in my head was, what page was it?
	Eight, seven?
	So when he's saying Justin Trudeau would enforce the ICC warrant, what does that mean?
	Like if he goes to Canada, he'll arrest you.
	Okay, that's all I was going to say.
	So, oh, like when is Netanyahu planning on going to go to kill?
	That's like a threat that's like, by the way, I can't take somebody serious that's at a Taylor Swift concert with a bunch, like this many bracelets, PBD, with a bunch of young girls.
	One of the creepiest things I saw for the past couple of days was the same guy who pushes this LGBTQ agenda, the trans thing.
	He is so, so, so far.
	Let's, this is Trudeau.
	Look at this guy.
	He's at a Taylor Swift concert just, and he was making bracelets and giving them to like really, really like, what a weird, creepy dude.
	And like that, that type of threat.
	Like, here's my thing.
	Why is he saying something like that?
	You know, damn well Benjamin Netanyahu is never going to go to Canada.
	Why would he go to Canada?
	I don't think he's worried about going because you think if Trudeau arrested him in Canada.
	Oh my God.
	Canada would be taken over.
	Moments later, Mossad starts going down a list around Trudeau.
	I'm going to make an analogy right now.
	Your cousin's missing.
	Your dog's missing.
	Just some comparable analogies.
	Justin Trudeau is the Joe Biden of Canada.
	He's the walking dead.
	His approval ratings are hovering in the high 30s, low 40s.
	Have you ever seen any videos of this guy, Pierre Polyev?
	This guy in Canada, dismantling Trudeau with every single iota of Trudeau's perfect hair in his coff.
	Justin Trudeau as just typical playbook.
	Well, he's racist.
	He's anti-women.
	This guy is just slicing and dicing Trudeau.
	And Netanyahu, as it turns out, he's sort of the Trump of Israel.
	He's going to get thrown in jail.
	His approval ratings are low.
	Nobody wants him.
	He's as high as it's ever been.
	People are basically realizing, oh, shit, all the nonsense we were dealing with during COVID.
	They were going to throw him in jail.
	Turns out he's eliminating Hezbollah.
	Hamas is basically eliminated.
	The Houthis are basically, when Trump got elected, Houthis basically were like, yeah, we're done.
	So Netanyahu is very comparable to Trump.
	And Trudeau is very comparable to Biden.
	I think we're seeing, but the next time that Canada has an I will say this.
	I think it's October of 2025.
	Say, I will say this.
	Goodbye to Trudeau.
	For the community, for the community that doesn't want any war, I can see why they would support this.
	I can see why they would support it if you don't want war.
	Nobody wants war.
	I get that.
	Other than the military-industrial complex, which you, David, gave a great example.
	Nobody's waking up every day.
	Yay, war.
	Yeah.
	War is a necessity sometimes.
	Some people, don't get me wrong.
	I'm not telling.
	I'm just saying the people that are for this, all excited about what he's going through.
	You know, it may be a community that says we don't want any war.
	So those may be the same people that are Trump supporters saying, hey, hurry up and get in so we can stop all the mess that's going on over there in the Middle East.
	Who knows?
	Because some are saying it's going to get in and he's going to back up Netanyahu to go out there and even do more than what he's doing right now.
	I don't know if that's going to be the case, but we'll see.
	Again, arrest warrant for Netanyahu from ICC.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Okay, sorry.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Next story is Megan.
	Let's go to this one.
	Megan Merkel, okay, which Vinny, I know you and Tom prepared for this immensely.
	So whenever you guys are ready with your statements, jump into it first.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	So Megan Merkel released a statement after solo Thanksgiving appearance amid professional separation from Prince Harry released a statement after hosting a heartfelt dinner for Afghan women resettled in the U.S., organized through the Successes, Archibald Foundation and their partner, Mina's List.
	She described the evening as fostering gratitude and resilience and expressed deep appreciation for women's personal stories, adding plans for future gatherings.
	The dinner was hosted at our palace, at our place, founded by Shiza Shaheed, with attendees receiving cookware as gifts.
	Prince Harry did not attend Merkel's Thanksgiving event as he was in Vancouver for Invictus.
	Game-related activities.
	The couple had repeatedly, reportedly, been navigating a professional separation with Harry admitting they've been at a crossroad with work despite solo appearances.
	They recently appeared together in a video discussing children's online safety through Arch Evil.
	So, Adam, what are your thoughts on the story here?
	I don't know why they couldn't just figure out how to make content together.
	By the way, did you see this coming?
	Like, were you, is this a surprise?
	Vinny?
	He's asking me a question.
	Yeah, he asked me first, buddy.
	I'm sorry.
	See, that's what happens when there's a professional separation.
	That's what we're going to work it out.
	I'll work it out.
	So I don't think they're getting divorced.
	I don't think they're getting separated.
	Ultimately, I think this means they're not doing content together anymore.
	Is that what this means?
	I mean, it's going to lead to something bad because if you guys, if you can't work together, how are you going to be in a relationship together?
	You know what I mean?
	Like, I don't understand that.
	Number one, I don't think anyone actually cares.
	I don't think anybody's losing sleep about this.
	You know who this falls on?
	There's only one person this falls on, and that's Prince Harry.
	Dude, you're the freaking prince of England, of Great Britain.
	You pluck up some B-list actor out of obscurity.
	What show was she?
	Was on suits?
	Actress.
	Okay, whatever she is, actress.
	And you basically remove your titles.
	You say, I don't want to be a prince anymore.
	You move out of your home country, the country your family basically runs, to go become a podcaster in LA, you freaking loser.
	You write a book and upset your 2,000-year-old family.
	Yeah.
	Your grandmother dies like the next year or so.
	And now you're, does he even have a title?
	Is he even a prince?
	Prince Harry's a freaking loser.
	And he basically gave up everything for love.
	And now it's coming to bite him in the ass.
	And not that they're going to do content together anymore.
	Crime your freaking River Vinny.
	What's this again?
	Oh, this is me playing the world's smallest violin.
	Or Megan Marco and Prince Harry.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I'm sure their kids are going to look like Blake.
	My mother, she's an American actress.
	There's an expiration date on all of her relationships.
	And it's right around seven or eight years because she's a trigger goes off.
	And her agent says, you know, you've been in this relationship for seven, eight years.
	You got a couple of kids.
	It's time for the book deal and the Operator.
	And meanwhile, you know, he's part of the royal family and he has an uncle, paragon of morality, Prince Andrew.
	And, you know, and so you're just, you know, here's what happened.
	Trump gets elected and the tabloids don't have any headlines.
	And they're like, this is terrible.
	We need something here.
	We need a headline like princes plunging the royal scepter in another, you know, with a starlet on another continent.
	I mean, they need something.
	It's what they want.
	And so they, you have to stir up trouble, but this is like meaningless.
	What are these, when we've got World War III about to start, I really don't care about a B-less actress who, okay, maybe she's trying to do good.
	Maybe she's got a charity and stuff.
	But there are bigger issues in the world than the home wrecker.
	Like you didn't know, you didn't know that it ultimately would go this way.
	Prince Harry, are you serious?
	PBD, I know you told me you lost a lot of sleep last night about this.
	You're running on fumes because you were up all night.
	I don't know if you were crying.
	We have extra tissues.
	Why are you so affected by this story?
	Listen, I mean, you know, when we saw this story coming out, on a serious note, what upset me the most about this is Harry's lack of, I tweeted something yesterday.
	Rob, if you can go to this tweet, go to tweet.
	It was 20-something points I put up, right?
	And I had Dylan read this yesterday.
	This goes very quickly.
	This is not easy.
	20 qualities that guarantees a better life.
	Number one is gratitude.
	Okay.
	And by the way, it's easy for us to read it.
	It's kind of hard.
	Yeah, yeah, what's the next one?
	No, it's actually gratitude and being grateful for who?
	The people that change your life.
	Harry's a nobody without his parents.
	Meaning, the amount of benefits you get from that and you embarrass them publicly on the world scale.
	What was that?
	Number two, having the right perspective.
	People are going to try to confuse you a little bit.
	That could be a girl that's getting into the family.
	You're supposed to say, listen, you're marrying me.
	You're marrying the family.
	That's what comes with the family.
	Perspective.
	Being reliable.
	You're no longer reliable to the family.
	And by the way, if you want to have your own identity, I totally get it.
	It doesn't mean you don't need to be reliable to your family.
	Knowing who to be loyal to.
	You can slow down, Rob, so people stay with us.
	Go a little lower if you could, so it's only five of them.
	No, Rob.
	I'm saying the other way, Rob.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So knowing who to be loyal to.
	Sometimes we forget who to be loyal to.
	Sometimes our loyalty is to people that's just like we want to be liked by.
	It's like, oh, I want to be loyal to that guy.
	No, who do you need to be loyal to?
	Like, actually, if you ask that question, who's on that list?
	It shouldn't be a long list.
	The list shouldn't have 40, 50 names on there.
	Should be a handful of names on that list.
	Knowing the difference between criticism and flattery.
	I was going to put flattery there, but it says feedback.
	There's a couple of things I missed here.
	Scripture, one of the best scriptures ever, faithful are the wounds of a friend.
	And then the opposite is the kisses of an enemy.
	Rob, can you go up, type in Proverbs 27, 6?
	If you can type in Proverbs 27, 6.
	I want to see what's, it's a different word.
	Faithful or the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
	So wounds of a friend.
	I criticize you.
	We're friends.
	I'm like, listen, bro, what are you doing?
	Just don't behave that way.
	But a guy that wants to come in between you and I, they're like, dude, Pat sometimes pushes you around a little too much, man.
	Because honestly, I think without you, he's a nobody.
	Kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
	But it is a kiss.
	And we always like kisses more than wounds.
	It's very confusing.
	He's being kissed by an enemy.
	It's Megan.
	While he needs to be faithful to his family, because family is giving you feedback, it's different perspective.
	Go back to the tweet, Rob.
	A sincere pursuit of wanting to have a relationship with God, humble yet confident, keeping your word, relentlessness, a great teammate, leading to the best of your abilities in every situation, avoiding the temptation of being liked.
	Very hard to do.
	Choosing both your enemies and allies accordingly.
	Being aggressively patient in pursuit of a vision instead of just money.
	Long-term thinking instead of short-term chase.
	Knowing how to embrace and have fun while going through hell.
	It's very hard to do while you're going through hell.
	Controlling who has influence over you.
	Avoiding bitterness.
	Envy can have on your spirit.
	It can steal a decade or two away from you and make it seem like an hour.
	You'll turn 60 overnight.
	Surrounding yourself around good company whom you trust and can enjoy a good meal with.
	Future looks bright.
	You know, family will do this to each other.
	It's like, oh, they don't want to be wrong.
	It's like, oh, so let me tell you what really happened.
	Here's when they tailor lied to their kids.
	I mean, I grew up with this.
	Like, let me tell you who your dad really is.
	I'm like, nah, even though I'm a kid, I don't believe you.
	He's this guy.
	You're not going to waste decades of great relationship with me and my dad.
	You're just not going to do it.
	My dad and I have a great relationship together.
	People will do this to you.
	And unfortunately, she succeeded.
	How many years did she steal away from his family?
	How many years?
	How many people died during this time?
	Rob, how long has Megan and Harry been together?
	Yes.
	Is it eight?
	I don't know what the number is.
	I mean, Tom said seven, so maybe it's a seven thing.
	I don't know what the number is.
	How long have they been together?
	It feels like six years coming up seven years.
	So there you go.
	Tom Trax is very close.
	Don't let him fool you.
	So six years.
	They're about to get that seven-year itch.
	May it's going to be seven years.
	It's ruined.
	The damage is done.
	I was there.
	I pushed the K. As a brother, of course, the prodigal son, you're okay letting the person back in.
	But let me tell you, in the back of your mind, you're always going to be like, you're capable.
	Yeah.
	You're capable.
	You're capable of doing this.
	And permanently, that's the reputation.
	Permanently.
	That's the reputation.
	Do you think they're going to get divorced soon?
	Based on this track record?
	I don't know the guy.
	I don't know the guy.
	I don't.
	She gives me the vibes of Jada.
	You know, she's a Jada camp.
	The attention has to be always around Jada, always around Megan.
	You know, it is what it is.
	What percentage of the blame do you put on him versus?
	Oh, it's not even a question.
	Of course it is.
	He should have read the book 101 Questions to Ask.
	You're right.
	It is on him.
	But I'm just saying this.
	Listen, Adam, who fooled you with Russia Collusion for how long?
	The lamestream media.
	They got me.
	For how long did they get you?
	About like a week ago or two.
	No, but honestly.
	They got America for a few years.
	But how many years was that?
	Four, five, six years?
	Man, they pin.
	How many people did they pin against each other?
	Family, friends, everything.
	But all I'm trying to say is the point I'm trying to make to you is anybody's capable of falling for this trap.
	This is not like, hey, you're above somebody and it's not anybody.
	We just have to be as bulletproof as possible to not fall for these types of temptations.
	Flattery destroys a lot of relationships, a lot of relationships.
	What was the quote that you said before?
	The Proverbs, what was that?
	Kisses, wounds from a friend instead of kisses that are deceitful from an enemy, right?
	Proverbs 27, 6.
	Never gets old.
	I can't tell you how many times I've talked about that.
	What does the wounds from a friend mean to you?
	If I tell you, Adam, honestly, the way you treat your brother, you don't even have a brother.
	The way you talk about your brother makes me very uncomfortable.
	I don't like it.
	Because you should never disrespect your brother like that, even though if you guys are going through stuff, even though you guys have fights, never disrespect your brother publicly.
	And then you may walk on and say, whose side are you on?
	You don't even know what the fuck my brother's doing.
	And then somebody else says, Pat, I've known you for 20 years.
	Who is he, bro?
	He doesn't know who your real brother is.
	I'm not telling you I don't know who your real brother is.
	Just don't throw your brother under the bus publicly.
	Keep it to yourself on a small circle.
	Like if we're sitting here publicly having dinner with a group of people that we don't know and you start openly talking about your own family in a way where there's two people that are sitting at the table we don't know.
	I'm not talking to you open.
	I don't know who you are.
	Who are you?
	No, no, you're not in that community.
	If we're sitting with a smaller community, we're talking about certain things.
	I get it.
	Not publicly.
	And then so you may walk away and say, well, Pat's coming from a good place.
	What motivation does he have to say, respect my brother?
	Why would he, like, how does he win?
	It's like, oh, okay, what's this guy?
	This guy's trying to, now, man, the flattery, dude, flattery has destroyed civilizations.
	This whole new movie, Gladiator 2, that came out that, you know, I had a hard time watching because every time I'm comparing it to the only movie in my life that I gave it a perfect 10.
	Only one movie in my life, I've given it a 10.
	There's nothing wrong with the movie, and that's Gladiator 1.
	Wow.
	And you make a movie, you don't even get Russell Cross counsel.
	They make Gladiator 2 Ridley Scott not once called Russell.
	He's nowhere in the movie.
	He's alive.
	He's not in the movie.
	I know he's got a difficult personality, but how is he not in the movie?
	I watch this movie.
	The brother kills his brother in the movie.
	Why?
	One guy gave flattery to him.
	He said, you can run the country better than Denzel.
	Flattery is so freaking powerful.
	It is so freaking powerful.
	When you're in the web of flattery, you know what it says?
	It's because of you.
	You're doing it.
	Nobody without you, they would never make it.
	Your husband is nothing without you.
	Your wife is nothing without you.
	Your partner's nothing.
	You're like, oh, they're right.
	I don't get enough appreciation.
	Boom.
	You make a stupid mistake.
	You lost a great relationship.
	It happens that quickly that when you're in the web, you simply don't know you're in the web.
	I had this conversation with my kids.
	I've been talking to them about this a lot lately, just to kind of prepare them because it's coming.
	They're going to have girlfriends and they're going to go into families and they're going to talk shit.
	You got to be ready for it because it's coming.
	You know, you want to make sure they're as bulletproof as possible, but they're kids.
	They're going to go through this next phase.
	I don't even know how the hell we got here.
	But Megan, thank you for this content.
	It was very important to understand.
	All right, let's go to the next one.
	Let's talk about some good news here, guys.
	McDonald's to add McValue menu.
	Let's go.
	Boost meal deal offerings.
	We need some good news, man.
	Finally.
	You know what?
	We're going to McDonald's after this.
	On me, guys.
	We just crushed it lately.
	Honestly, Tommy, forget CASA.
	It's too cheap.
	We're going to McDonald's.
	McDonald's will launch the McValue menu on January 7th.
	Why not the 6th, McDonald?
	Come on.
	You should have done it on the 6th.
	There would have been an insurrection outside of every McDonald's buying up the McValue type of stuff, featuring a buy one, add one for a dollar deal applicable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
	Breakfast options include the sausage, McMuffin, sausage, biscuit, and sausage, burrito, and hash brown.
	By the way, can you imagine you go to McDonald's?
	99 menu.
	You know how you go to France and you go to dinner, you spend $600 a person that the patty is this big.
	And they bring out the steak.
	They're like, I never, I went to a place.
	We went to this 11 Madison.
	They're like, and the main course.
	Oh, Jesus.
	They brought the main course.
	Here's the eggplant.
	I'm looking.
	I'm like, do you remember this eggplant?
	Yeah, I didn't want to say anything because I was super $30,000 later.
	Yeah.
	$30,000.
	I'm getting an eggplant.
	This guy gave me a shaved carrot.
	He said, hey, man, this is a filleted carrot.
	Listen, man.
	I'm getting distracted, folks.
	Let me go back to the $5 meal initially launched as a limited time offer will now be part of the McValue platform and extend it through summer of 2024.
	The deal allows customers to choose between a McDouble or McChicken plus small fries.
	By the way, the small fries is two pieces of fries.
	Four pieces.
	What?
	I'm kidding.
	Four piece McDonald's.
	And a small soda.
	The CEO, Chris Kemjinski, acknowledged that inflation has pushed low-income consumers to eat at home more frequently, impacting QSR quick service restaurant traffic.
	Tom, thoughts on this?
	So here's what's going on.
	Quick case study coming.
	Step one: inflation has sucked and it affected everything.
	Okay, that was that's done.
	Now we're now all together here.
	McDonald's has been suffering.
	Inflation has caused things to be expensive.
	We've seen areas, you know, Vinny, where the rent is so high that McDonald's prices are ridiculous, like in airports or like in a rest area on a turnpike or a big highway.
	People don't realize the rent they pay is so high that they have to charge afterwards.
	And they end up with the like $19 Big Mac meal, right?
	Yeah.
	Well, all of that happens on a small scale, and people have been eating more at home.
	So there was a crisis for McDonald's, and that was America's getting healthier and eating at home, which is a terrible crisis.
	So they got to do something about it.
	And so now they have to come out with a way to offer a meal at a reduced price.
	So they're offering the items that are their lowest cost items so they could put these things on the menu called the McValue meal.
	Well, the McValue meal means the Mc low-cost meal, which means the Mc cheap ingredients meal.
	And then there's a heart attack coming soon.
	Yeah, the McCoronary.
	It's like, it's like double pie pass.
	That's right.
	And so for a buck more, you can add a, what are they, the hash browns or a couple of McNuggets.
	You know, that's what they're doing.
	And so what they're trying to do, McDonald's is trying to survive.
	So now I'm going to end the case study.
	McDonald's is trying to survive.
	Inflation has driven up their prices.
	They've got rent issues because commercial real estate was up.
	They were also kind of facing, and they own a lot of their own land there, and their property taxes are up.
	There's a whole bunch of things if you read into the McDonald's earnings report that have just they now got to figure out a way.
	How do we make sure people come into McDonald's to eat lunch?
	McValue meal.
	These are the things that cost less.
	So we're going to offer these.
	And for a buck, you can get some extra hash browns with that or something.
	And they're doing the best they can.
	But it still doesn't rank much higher on the healthy food scorecard.
	But that's what's going on, McDonald's.
	They're trying to get us to come in because inflation has made it ridiculous.
	And by the way, I listen, I've always been a McDonald's fan.
	I mean, the French fries, can we be honest with each other?
	They're the bomb.
	You'll burn your stupid.
	You don't care.
	Like, it's, you see it come out of the oil, but you keep going.
	But I just love McDonald's because that's one of the only companies that is still like, listen, we know it's not good, but just come on.
	Even Pat, even there, Rob, I just sent you this photo on Slack.
	Guys, they don't even give a damn about their slogans and their promoting.
	They came out.
	You guys know, remember this?
	They came over the land, air, and seaburger.
	Did you guys have you remember that?
	Land, air, and sea.
	It's a chicken sandwich.
	It's the Big Mac, and it's the fish-filet.
	The only problem is, okay, land is what, Tom?
	The cow.
	How much use is like 80 bucks?
	It's like 40.
	When it comes to the free heart attack, are you ready for this past?
	So land is the cow.
	C is the what?
	What fish, right?
	Land air.
	Chickens don't fly.
	McDonald's doesn't give a shit.
	McDonald's, like, just eat the damn thing and have a heart attack.
	They don't fly.
	Have you ever seen a chicken fly?
	But they just don't care.
	And I get it.
	They're trying to survive, Tom.
	But shout out to McDonald's.
	That's the only company that's just like, hey, listen, we know it's trash, but you know you want it.
	McDonald's.
	I was in when we were in DC, and the night that we were watching the fight, Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul.
	We actually didn't end up getting together that night, but the team watched it.
	I was so hungry.
	It's like at 10:30 at night, something like that.
	I was like, oh, there's a McDonald's over there.
	So I'm in line.
	Were you with us or no?
	No, you were.
	No, Adam.
	No, he was in London.
	I was with you, but I was at dinner the night.
	And then, you know.
	Oh, you were with that girl.
	You were with the girl.
	You're better than us.
	So I'm at McDonald's and I'm ordering, and a guy walks in.
	And you could tell he was slightly angry.
	He goes, Hey, hey, the ice cream machine broken again still.
	They go, no, actually, actually, it's working.
	He goes, get the out of here.
	Give me two ice creams, man.
	He was so shocked.
	So broke.
	The McDonald's ice cream wasn't Mick broken out here.
	Give me two ice creams.
	He's like, I was like, oh, who else are you with?
	He's like, man, I've been wanting ice cream all day.
	Let me take two.
	Boom.
	So, congrats.
	I got a bone to pick with McDonald's.
	What's with the breakfast ending at 10:30 a.m.
	No, I thought it's all day, all day long.
	No, all day long.
	What?
	They changed it?
	What?
	This is some McNews to me, baby.
	No, but hold on.
	You need to make chill because I'm going to tell you something right now.
	McWhoop, Yoan.
	You know what, though?
	Some of the food is so bad, they can't keep it on the menu year-round.
	Like the McRib.
	You ever notice?
	The McRib's not here right now, but you'll be driving on the freeway and you'll see an 18-wheeler and it's like the McRib is back.
	It's like, where's he been?
	In prison?
	Yeah.
	Where is he?
	I still want him on the menu all the time.
	I'll stop my McUber and pick up a McRib.
	Don't get the McBizDocs.
	Let's go to the next topic.
	Let's make Change Ribbon.
	I'm in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and we're driving down the highway.
	This cow had been hit.
	Billboard, next billboard.
	McRib is back.
	Let's go.
	Wow, that was quick.
	Do you ever eat at McDonald's?
	September of 97, last time.
	I never see you eat the fast food with September of 97.
	You know who loves McDonald's?
	Who's that?
	Excuse me.
	McDonald's.
	Oh, of course.
	We all know who loves McDonald's.
	We saw that thing with RFK.
	RFK.
	He's like, listen, I got to.
	He goes, he's like, this bad.
	Let me try to use the, I don't know.
	I think he just eats poison.
	He eats poison every day.
	Look at how, look at his face.
	Look how happy everybody is, except close it on RFK.
	He's like poison in my hands.
	Imagine Mike Johnson.
	He has to feed over to be in the issue.
	That is a little.
	By the way, look at Trump.
	Like, energy attracted.
	Look how many sandwiches.
	I freaking love it, man.
	Look how many sandwiches he has.
	I love it.
	Next time I eat Big Mac, it has to be a special occasion.
	Please, coffee and Big Mac.
	It's got to be special.
	You know what I find to be?
	By the way, just so you guys know, let me tell you guys.
	We're having a strategy session the other day about things to do in 2025.
	You know what Adam's idea was about a great podcast in 2025?
	All of us smoking weed.
	Can you imagine specifically you, PBD?
	Why would you want me to smoke weed?
	Because Tom does it all the time.
	And Vinny.
	I can't say that public.
	I'm not smoking.
	I'm not doing it.
	I'm drug-free.
	Alcohol.
	I'm never going to buy something.
	I think the world.
	Maybe take a gummy.
	No.
	Hey, PBD, man.
	Maybe capitalism.
	Maybe communism's all right, man.
	I don't know, baby.
	Can you imagine I become a commie after taking a gummy?
	No, okay, let's go to the next story.
	Can I say one thing?
	Can I say one thing?
	We've been saying one thing for you.
	Are you McStop?
	We're trying to make two.
	This next story.
	This next story, people are struggling financially.
	I'm going to give him a story.
	This is a story.
	Macy's found a single employee who hit $154 million worth of expenses.
	John, there's ways.
	There's ways.
	All right, let's read the story to you.
	This person's going to jail, but there's ways.
	Okay.
	So Macy's revealed Monday that a single former employee intentionally made erroneous on all counts.
	Erroneous accounting accrual entries over nearly three years to hide up to $154 million in small package delivery expense.
	An independent forensic investigation confirmed no other employee were involved.
	And CEO Tony Spring stated the company remains focused on ethical conduct and executing its holiday strategy, the irregulatory through a, though a small fraction of Macy's $4.36 billion, a small fraction.
	Yeah, it's just $154 million in delivery expenses since late 2021 delayed the company's full quarterly earnings until December 11th.
	Macy's clarified the issue had no impact on a company's cash management activities or vendor payments.
	Retail analyst Neil Saunders criticized the situation, questioning the competence of companies' auditors.
	Tom, this person's got to get a job at Pentagon, like you said earlier.
	I mean, Pentagon's probably making a call saying you have a job lined up for you to come over here.
	Oh my gosh, it's like the Pentagon's upset.
	How do we let Macy's get this guy?
	Didn't we interview this guy?
	Did you offer him?
	Did you tell him we offered health care?
	I didn't say healthcare.
	No, you know what's really funny about this?
	Neil Saunders is the analyst, retail analyst.
	That's a stock analyst that they look into companies and they give you their opinion of them if they think it's a good buy or not.
	And so that's a retail analyst.
	The competence of the company's auditors.
	It's not the company's auditors.
	It's their management control system.
	I like it says the issue had no impact on the company's cash management activities.
	Wait a minute.
	No impact on cash management?
	It was $154 million.
	What was that?
	Would they pay that out in shoes and clothes?
	No impact on cash management.
	So it is so funny that in the face of embarrassment, everybody's running for cover here.
	The analyst says, I think it's the company's auditors.
	The company's saying, well, there's no problem with our cash management.
	Everybody's running and not saying the same.
	What CEO Tony Spring should have said is that not only are we focused on ethical conduct, I want to restore investor confidence in our controls of costs and cash management.
	That's what he should have said.
	Instead, he goes, the spin, we remain focused on ethical conduct and executing our holiday strategy.
	You know what that means, Vinny?
	Let me translate it for you.
	I don't want to talk about this.
	That's what CEO Tony Spring is saying.
	I don't want to talk about it.
	Right?
	Come on, man.
	So that's what's going on.
	You know what this reminds me of?
	Long, time ago, it's got to be like 40-year-old movie.
	Wasn't Richard Pryor in a movie called Brewster's Millions?
	I love that.
	I love it.
	Where he had this little mistake and he ripped off the bank because he had this little tiny mistake going on in there.
	He gained interest.
	That's right.
	And then that's what this guy's doing.
	John Candy in that movie?
	Of course, he was the catcher.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that's right.
	They were on the baseball team.
	That's what this reminds me of.
	This reminds me of that.
	Brewster's Millions.
	This is a modern day Brewster's Millions.
	He didn't even tell Macy's that he was getting Amazon Prime by the way.
	What the hell is he talking about?
	Their revenue is, I'm looking at their revenue.
	They're necessarily $4.72 billion and $150 million in net profits.
	Your margins are super low.
	What do you mean you didn't need this cash?
	You could have doubled.
	Yeah.
	Listen, Pat, like we say all the time, 150 million ain't what it used to be.
	I mean, it's not, but $150 million in net profits is a lot of money to a company like Macy's to go through this.
	But anyways, that's very weird for that to happen.
	Three and a half percent.
	Yeah, that's that's that's a big, that's a real number, guys.
	That's a real number to have something like this take place.
	Let me go to the next story.
	Next story I want to go to is Jamie Fox addresses whether Diddy was responsible for his 2023 hospitalization during live shows eyewitness.
	Rob, if you got a clip, play this clip.
	He's not really saying it here.
	When I watch this, he's not saying it.
	No, no, it's because, no, PBD, this is not, this is just them saying what we know, but the clip that I sent Rob is of, what was his name, Robbie?
	Big Homie CC.
	PBD, Big Homie CC.
	Yeah, because so bad, you know what's going on.
	So let me if you're not going to be able to read it.
	Let me read the story and I'll come to you because I thought it was a video.
	Yeah.
	During the tapings of his upcoming Netflix special, what had happened was Jamie Fox reportedly stated that he was responsible for what happened to him.
	And Fox is the one who called the FBI on Combs.
	According to Choke No Joke, a videographer who attended the shows, another attendee, Dennis L.A. White, recalled Fox saying, people keep asking me if Diddy was responsible.
	He was not responsible.
	If he was, I would have been dead.
	Fox also referenced Combs extensively in his routines, joking about topics like baby oil.
	Fox reflected on his 2023 health scare, calling it an unexpected dark journey.
	He explained on Instagram, I had an opportunity to tell my side of the story, and there was no better place than Atlanta, Georgia, where he was hospitalized.
	He described his special as an artistic explanation of something that went terribly wrong and added to clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend.
	Bingo, go ahead, Vince.
	Okay, so fake friends.
	So, and mind you, and I felt I felt blamed to this because the media and everybody was being quiet.
	The family, his daughter, everybody was like, especially because this is the whole COVID vaccine.
	People like, just tell us, just mind you, I know Jamie Fox personally.
	I even messaged him when he was going through this.
	I said, I'm praying for him and everything like that.
	We didn't get into nothing like this.
	But everybody was like, oh, it's the vaccine.
	It's the vaccine.
	Talk to us, talk to us.
	It was media silence.
	So from what I'm gathering, because I know people that are there that went to the special, when you go to the special like this, and you guys know this from the comedy shows that we've been to, they take your phone, they lock it up.
	You can't have anything recording or nothing, right?
	He said in the special that, yeah, I was hospitalized by this person.
	And mind you, him and Diddy have had a business falling out.
	They said they had a beef.
	So the choke, no choke was a videographer, and he was like, yo, I was there.
	He said Diddy was responsible for what happened to him and that he's the one that called the FBI.
	And Choke added, I don't think he was joking in the special.
	Okay, so nobody knows.
	And you guys know this, we might not ever see what's even there because on the cutting room floor, we know this from editing.
	If he doesn't like it or if it's anything kind of, you know, too far, they'll edit it out.
	But the people that were there were saying that he was saying it and that he was serious about it.
	And also, this is a little while ago.
	Pat, this is celebrity bodyguard big homie CC, who publicly alleged that Diddy, and mind you, let's not pretend like people are like, this is a far-fetched idea.
	This is the type of character after dragging Cassie and doing all the shit that he did.
	That this guy alleged that Diddy poisoned Jamie Foxx, leading to him calling the FBI.
	And he also stated in this video, I know he poisoned Jamie Fox.
	And he also said that he's been poisoned before in the past.
	Can we play this clip?
	Yeah.
	Some of the things that you heard behind the scenes that were going on before this indictment actually dropped.
	Well, I know he poisoned Jamie Fox and Jamie Foxx reported him to the FBI because of it.
	I know that's a fact.
	So, wait, you're saying that Diddy poisoned Jamie Fox and that's how Jamie Foxx got sick?
	Jamie Foxx reported this man to the FBI because of this.
	It's a fact.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	And how did you hear about this?
	If you can tell me, or if you can't, that's all good.
	But, you know what I'm saying?
	Like, well, you know, people are going to, they're going to want to know, you know what I'm saying, how this happened or, you know what I'm saying?
	What's the backstory of this?
	Well, by the time this dropped, this is going to be in the stratosphere.
	It's going to be in the ether by the time this drop.
	You can probably look it up right now.
	But by the time this interview dropped, this is going to be out in the ether for sure.
	And who's this guy?
	These people poison people.
	I've been poisoned three times.
	He's been poisoned.
	Why am I testing positive for cyanide?
	You feel me?
	Why am I getting the, why do I have pneumonia three times?
	So people like, man, why he breathe like that?
	Because I only got one lung.
	And then I had a car correct.
	I got one nostril permanently blocked.
	And I had pneumonia three times.
	Somebody's been trying to poison me.
	My brother got poisoned with me.
	The little lady I was bodyguard, she got poisoned.
	Like, somebody is carrying on these antics.
	These are sex.
	Is there any idea why Diddy would want to poison Jamie Fox?
	Benny, who is called the testify.
	This is Big Homie CC.
	He's a bodyguard.
	Celebrity bodyguard.
	No.
	Big homie CCC.
	Big homie CC is a bodyguard.
	Nobody has more credibility than the big homie CC.
	I'm just saying it wasn't COVID.
	It wasn't the vaccine.
	There's something going on.
	And the fact that he's talking about it on his, by the way, this is his special taping.
	They do three shows.
	And this guy said every single show that he mentioned it and he thought he was serious.
	So I'm just saying.
	I'm going to take the other side on this.
	Number one, have you seen the special?
	Nobody has.
	Okay.
	But I know people that were there.
	You know, there's a famous phrase in comedy.
	These are jokes, man.
	Okay.
	These are jokes.
	So with joking about somebody poisoning you and then you calling the FBI.
	I don't know.
	There's a lot of Diddy jokes out there right now.
	I mean, there's a lot to make fun of.
	I don't think my opinion, I'm going to throw the word allegedly all over this conversation.
	If he was actually poisoned, almost lost his life, that he's not announcing at a comedy special.
	The FBI would be dealing with this.
	Well, now he could do this.
	Well, now he could, because the FBI's arrested the guy and he's in jail.
	He's not scared of truck.
	How much credibility are you giving to the big homie CC?
	I mean, to be honest with you, I think when somebody like that is talking, me personally, I believe him.
	I believe him.
	Because I know what he's doing.
	100% believe him?
	No, I would say, let's say 80%.
	I'm at like 2%.
	Because those guys see everything.
	Adam, these guys see everything, though.
	That guy had sunglasses on.
	He's 380 pounds.
	And he's wondering why he can't breathe so good.
	Maybe lose some weight, mother sucker.
	No, but I mean, listen, I'm just saying I wouldn't put it past somebody like Diddy, who we know the track record from his allegedly having people shot, hold on, baby oil that had freaking drugs in it to all the crazy stuff that's going on.
	This is the least of my thing.
	If you have a beef with somebody and then poisoning them, I believe it.
	I'm separating two things.
	Hold on, Tom, let me finish one thing.
	I'm separating one thing.
	Do I think Diddy is a world-class scumbag who's probably going to spend the rest of his life in jail?
	Yes.
	Do I think that Jamie Fox joke and whoever the big homie CC is has any credibility here?
	Very low.
	So I'm just separating the two.
	So clicks.
	Okay.
	Okay, let me go to you guys.
	Since when did hip-hop stars start taking a page out of the failed James Bond assassination handbook where you're going to poison some guy or put him on the edge of a cliff and he's going to be rescued?
	Why don't you just go back to the 90s and just pop a cap in his ass?
	Oh, Tom's getting gangster.
	I like when Tom gets gangster or Germany.
	It's like, give me some Tupac hit him up.
	It's a SOC where you would just drive by, shoot him in the head, throw the gun in the ocean, and then go roll with your homies for the 2 a.m. club.
	People are starting to realize who Tom Louis is.
	But now we got to do it, man.
	We'll put the poison in a Big Mac and we'll slide the Big Mac.
	The other day, we're going to church on Sunday with him and his family.
	They pull up.
	You know what music Tom is listening to?
	It's the Thuggish Ruggage.
	No, he did not to go to jail.
	He's a big Momurdo fan.
	He's a big one.
	Remember the last Sunday that we were, he was like, what Brooklyn Mac?
	Came up and he almost hit somebody.
	One time I saw that my little home mechany died tonight.
	Yeah, to see that.
	Master P, man.
	That's natural.
	No, no, no.
	Tom is.
	One time I saw, you want me to?
	Tom was getting.
	Anyone like this?
	He goes, I'll bust out this case study right there.
	Right now.
	Tom is.
	Don't let him fool you.
	Anyways, let's go to the next story.
	Trump got shot for that.
	Next story here.
	Bang, bang.
	Trump.
	Bang, bang.
	Bang, bang.
	Couples retreat.
	Couples retreat.
	Trump plans tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China that could cripple trade.
	This is a New York Times story.
	All right, let's read this.
	So the word cripple.
	Yeah, of course.
	That's the word they put in there.
	President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada and the additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports, claiming the measures aimed to curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl.
	Trump declares the tariffs would remain until these issues are resolved, stating it is time for them to pay a very, very big price.
	Their tariffs could dramatically affect the economies of Canada, Mexico, and U.S. with Canada's deputy PM, Christia Freeland, emphasizing the mutually beneficial relationship between the nations.
	China's embassy in Washington warned no one will win a trade war with Vice Commerce Minister Wang Shuen stated the U.S. measures would ultimately raise consumer prices.
	Tom.
	Well, look, if you want the best explanation of tariffs, you should go look at CNBC and what Howard Luttnick, who's in charge, who's now going to be nominated Secretary of Commerce, and he's been the co-chair of the Transition Committee.
	And he pointed out this, that, look, tariffs, you know, the left wants to say, oh, and the globalists want to say, oh, he's going to put tariffs on Canada.
	So maple syrup coming from Canada is going to be $18.
	No, that's not the way it works.
	How many Fords are sold in Europe?
	Very, very, very few.
	You want to know why?
	Because a bunch of countries over there have tariffs on Fords because they want to sell their cars.
	And yet their cars are over here.
	Porsche's BMWs, Mercedes, and big factories over here.
	We talked about it on the last podcast.
	So all Trump is saying is, hey, I'm not just talking about China on tariffs.
	Mexico, you got to pay for the wall and you got to be helping me with this fentanyl coming across the border.
	And Canada, I've been helping you with energy for a while, but you got to help me out on cars here and you got to play fair.
	All he's putting him on notice is y'all got to play fair.
	That's what's going on here.
	He's not going to do this.
	We have some inflationary effect on the American consumer.
	If anything, if he causes the price of fentanyl to go up 10x, that's a good thing because fewer people can afford it.
	But this is basically Trump threatens new tariffs.
	And of course, the New York Times has to say, well, you know, since he's threatening something, we have to say it's bad because Trump's bad.
	Orange man, bad.
	We got to do bad.
	And so that's what it's all about.
	But you know what this is?
	This is Trump protecting the interest of you and me and moving the ball forward on the playing field because there's a little ball to be played with Mexico, a little ball to be played with Canada.
	And we already know that he's about to play big ball with China.
	Damn.
	Can't wait.
	Well, look, if you look at the, can you pull up the Wall Street Journal?
	This is the number one story on the Wall Street Journal right now, the Trump fired salvo on North American free trade agreement.
	So there's actually another graph out there that I sent you below that.
	I can resend it if you want.
	But listen, there's campaigning and then there's actually governing.
	It seems like Trump is actually serious about these tariffs right now.
	Here's a share of U.S. imports since basically Trump took office in 2016.
	Chinese imports have plummeted.
	Now, I think Mexico is our number one trading partner at this point, right?
	So, and then there's Canada.
	All right.
	Our neighbors to the north.
	Coming back.
	I think we're going to take Trump at his word when he said that my favorite word in the world is tariffs.
	It's better than love.
	We're going to figure this out.
	I think he said the Mexican and Canadian tariffs are 25%, and then China is closer to 10 and 15%.
	Tom, do you know those numbers?
	Regardless, Trump seems to be meaning business right here in the Wall Street Journal and other USA today.
	This is the number one story that they're reporting right now.
	I think it means business right here.
	And I think part of the trade also is being treated very unfairly.
	The foundation of it with Mexico and Canada is the fentanyl crisis.
	Trump ain't playing this game.
	You've heard Trump say, don't do drugs.
	Don't smoke cigarettes.
	Don't get tattoos.
	He doesn't like to see the drug coming in this country.
	And he's going to do something about it.
	Cause you a question?
	Go back to that chart, sorry, Rob.
	That chart, China, you would think, shouldn't China be trading a lot more that Trump is gone?
	Why is it dropping so hard for Biden kept the tariffs on?
	No, he did.
	He didn't remove the tariffs.
	I don't think he removed the tariffs.
	So he kept them on.
	That's why.
	So Biden said Trump's ideas are good.
	We're staying on.
	Okay, good.
	So that's why they still took a hit.
	Now, China is now coming and saying, hey, we're willing to what?
	Negotiate.
	We're willing to work with you.
	Everybody's saying we're willing to come and work with you.
	The only dummy that's playing a little bit too hard is Trudeau, and he's not going to like what's going to happen when he takes place.
	Now, there's parts of it where he tries to say, I'm going to work with you or not.
	Everybody's going to have to work with him.
	What I like about this, Tom, a lot, and let me tell you what it is.
	So everything's about timing and amount of pressure you can use.
	Trump doesn't have two terms.
	He has one term, which means, you know, you know that one scene when Obama says to who was he sitting down with listen, why don't we talk about this on the second term?
	Oh, yeah.
	You know which clip that?
	The guy from Ukraine, right?
	Or Russia.
	He says, I think it was Russia.
	It was a little, he was asked to my second term.
	He didn't know he was Mike.
	He was asking my second term.
	He didn't know he was Mike.
	No, it wasn't Putin.
	It was Putin's number two guy.
	He says something with a steed.
	Let's talk about this after the second term.
	Rob, you can find this on Twitter.
	You can find it on Twitter and you'll find the clip.
	But the thing is, that negotiation line is out.
	Everybody uses that line.
	I'm not going to put it in, think it's only Obama that's going to use that line.
	Every president's used that line, right?
	Is this someone going to play this clip?
	Hot Mike.
	Okay, so that right there.
	By the way, how many presidents do you think have used that line?
	Oh, every single one.
	All of them.
	Okay, so now here's a question.
	Trump doesn't have that line this time.
	So guess what?
	And the opposition cannot use that fear over his head either to say, hey, you do this with us.
	We'll support you on the next election.
	Nope.
	That line is officially gone for both sides to use.
	Do you understand what I mean by that?
	Okay.
	So the fact that those two lines are gone, Trump's all business right now.
	Coming in, whatever you want to do, you got four years.
	And the thing with tariffs, guess what he's got to do?
	He's got to come out the gates strong.
	Longer he waits, less effective.
	Sooner he comes out, sooner they realize he's playing straight up and they have to sit there and work with him.
	And then comes everything else.
	So I kind of like the fact that he's starting early with it to see what's going to happen with it.
	But yeah, I'm excited to see what happens with negotiation.
	I foresee them working with him faster than they did the first term because the first term they didn't take him seriously.
	They're like, this guy's going to be out.
	Listen, this is not somebody to take seriously.
	Now they're realizing, no, not only is he serious, even the guy that replaced him that talked as much trash about him, kept the tariffs on China.
	That means he has credibility to say, hey, don't worry about me.
	Whoever gets elected after me may even continue the tariffs with you.
	So don't fool around here.
	You better take us seriously.
	Let me get to the next story here before we wrap up.
	Rob picks on Trump on the economy.
	Yeah, but it's the fact that, you know, some people don't know the stories of what's going on.
	So which one do we want to go to?
	Vinny, you have a story with Planned Parenthood.
	Oh, man.
	Tell us what's going on there.
	Okay, so, and Rob, I sent you this.
	So Planned Parenthood was selling viable, healthy, aborted babies who could have survived outside the womb to the University of California for experience.
	So, and Rob has this story, Rob.
	I think I slacked it to you.
	And in their contract, it states that they own the intellectual property rights and the patent rights developed in experiments done by the body parts.
	Okay, so Planned Parenthood and the University of California, San Diego, reporting negotiated fetal tissue donations for research.
	Emails in a 2018 research plan revealed that they wanted up to 2,500 fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks gestinyl age, which is almost six months, by the way.
	Now, donating fetal tissue is legal, but selling them isn't.
	So why is there a contract that gives Planned Parenthood the property rights over the tissue?
	I think that's kind of weird.
	And then Planned Parenthood claims that this is all done under the highest ethical standards.
	But how is it ethical to negotiate the fate of an unborn child if it's a commodity?
	This is all transactional, Tom.
	So, and then add to that the allegations of racial disparities.
	The Spanish consent talk, look how racist this is.
	The Spanish consent forms fail to disclose the same commercial value details as the English ones.
	So basically, if you spoke English, you got the full story.
	They're going to make money.
	They're going to, you know, if they get the patents, they make money, but including the fact that the tissue could have commercial value.
	But if you spoke Spanish, they left that part out, which is freaking racist.
	And they say, oh, it's not profit.
	But then why does it's in the stipulation of the contract?
	Valuable consideration is in the contract.
	So if you're receiving taxpayer dollars and operating, this is a gray zone.
	And I think we need answers.
	So Senator Mark Rubio recently called for a federal investigation into the parenthood based on these findings.
	So I think it's like unbelievable, Pat, that this is in conjunction, Planned Parenthood, with the UC San Diego, that they were in contract saying, by the way, these babies can survive outside the womb.
	And I don't know, Pat, it was Tico who told me about this thing where they put these forceps inside and the baby's moving because it knows about the pain of this thing that's coming, Tom.
	You've heard about this before.
	So what do you think, Tom?
	Because this is, by the way, this is all factual.
	This is factual.
	They were selling babies for contract and they were basically saying if we use, if we take this fetus, six months old that could survive, okay?
	Totally healthy baby.
	We take it and we come up with a patent.
	You can't, it's just, we're taking all the money.
	That's the Planned Parenthood UC San Diego contract that they had.
	And it's all factual.
	And at least this is two months ago, I think Marco Rubio, love him or hate him, he's actually standing up to this because it's ridiculous, Tom.
	Well, look, we know two things.
	Number one is that you can donate your body to science when you pass away.
	And if you pass away without cancer or poisoning or things like that, your organs can be harvested.
	You can elect, like right on your driver's license, you could say, I'm an organ donor.
	And your corneas, your kidneys and things can go to, or even your heart can go to somebody that needs it.
	So medical research and donating organs has been gone on for a long time.
	And sometimes it's an amazing thing.
	And you see these stories of people that hear a recording of their loved one's heart beating in the chest of a person that received the heart after their loved one died.
	So all of that's been going on.
	And now it extends to using the tissue from aborted babies for research as well.
	The second thing is we need to understand is that abortion is not just a political topic.
	It's an industry.
	It's billions of dollars of profit and billions of dollars of federal dollars that are given to Planned Parenthood that conducts the abortions and then they take the tissue and they profit and use it for research purposes.
	And so you've gone from the noble act of when you got your driver's license and saying, I'm willing to be an organ donor.
	Remember that?
	And you used to put like a dot or something.
	Green six or whatever.
	Whatever it was, yes.
	Yeah.
	And so that's noble of you to do it, to try to help somebody after.
	You take all of that and medical research.
	Would you like to donate your body to science so we could do research on the walls of your heart and things like that to see how things gone?
	Or, you know, when you're a Alzheimer patient passes away, says, can we, or a professional football player, they want to do research on Alzheimer's, dementia, and C and CTE.
	Exactly right.
	All noble.
	But on the other side of it, there's this profit machine.
	And I'm just speaking logically of it because I'll get emotional the other ways.
	We have to remember abortion has become an industry.
	It's not just a moral issue.
	It's become an industry.
	And to bring the morality back, you're having to fight an industry and Planned Parenthood and getting money from the government and look at the addresses and look where they put their clinics and how they over-index and have created a genocide against African Americans.
	And it is a genocide.
	Never been more than 17% of the population.
	They're usually 40% of the abortions.
	Wow.
	How did that happen?
	And so this is just more what you're pointing out of this, this, the disgusting industry that if America knew the truth, and if America, Rob, I think the name of the movie was Silent Scream that was suppressed because they were able to show that at a certain age, the baby, and I'm not going to use any of the medical terminology because they use that to make the baby seem like something else.
	Oh, it's just tissue.
	No, it is a living human being feels the pain of being murdered in the womb.
	And that's what Tico, that's cut you off, but that's what Tico was telling me about.
	He's like, Uncle Vinnie, do you know about the silent scream?
	And I didn't know what he was talking about.
	He's like, even when they put the forceps in there, the baby's trying to move away because it knows that the pain is coming.
	So, and Tom, great point.
	Because if we don't value the life in the womb, then how can we value it anywhere else?
	And the pro-choice people are like, oh, it's only tissue.
	No, no, six, 23 weeks, that long, it has a heartbeat and it's feeling pain.
	You know what I mean?
	And now you're going in there.
	You're not only killing it and it's excruciating pain, then you're selling it and you're making money off of it.
	You know what book he's reading right now?
	Which one?
	Thomas Sowell's book.
	That's why I just bought because of him.
	Yeah, that book is a revolution.
	Everybody needs to read this.
	The reader.
	The reader.
	That's what he just finished.
	Let me give a couple thoughts here on the Planned Parenthood.
	We got to wrap up because I got to head to the house.
	I got a meeting.
	So data comes out.
	By the way, yeah, that one right there.
	So data comes out.
	Rob, can you go to that Wall Street Journal story?
	So Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy the Deutsch plan to reform the government, right?
	Following the Supreme Court.
	If you can place control F in there, Rob, and type in plan, Planned Parenthood, right, to watch that.
	So go a little bit higher so I can read that paragraph.
	That's fine right there.
	Finally focused on delivering cost savings.
	Skeptics questions how federal spending Doge can tame through executive actions.
	They point to a 1979 control act, which stops the president from seizing expenditure authorized by Congress.
	Mr. Trump has previously suggested that the statue is unconstitutional.
	And we believe the current Supreme Court could likely side with him on this question.
	But even without relying on this view, Doge will help end federal overspending by taking aim at the $500 billion in annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended.
	The $350, $535 million a year corporation for public broadcasting, which they're talking about, they're talking about the is it Voice America or is it not Voice America?
	What's the other one that PBS?
	PBS, right?
	Promoting their view.
	That's right.
	The PBS and the $1.5 billion for Grants International Organization to nearly $300 million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood.
	So that story is there.
	Then Insider writes the story reacting to this.
	Planned Parenthood says it's seen a 1,200 spike, 1,200% spike in vasectomy's appointments as Musk's Deutsch targets its cuts, the 1,200% increase in vasectomy, 760% rise in IUDs, appointments following Trump's reelection, amid fears of funding cuts.
	CEO Alex Alexis McGill Johnson criticized Musk and V. Vague, heads of Trump's proposed Doge, calling them unqualified fanboys and agents of chaos for targeting the organization, the federal budget trimming plans, which aims to cut $300 million of Planned Parenthood.
	Musk and Ramaswamy argue in the op-ed that the federal spending the $1.5 billion, you get the idea where that's going.
	So there is a lot of moving parts here.
	This is not a good season for Planned Parenthood.
	They're sitting around saying, wait a minute, these guys are probably going to come after us.
	And what does that look like?
	Is it going to be done?
	Where else are they going to get their funding from?
	Is it going to be four years of no funding?
	What could happen?
	Anything is possible right now with what these guys trying to cut.
	But yes, it's exciting that you have two people that their number one job is to come and cut expenses.
	And they're both entrepreneurs.
	If there's anything entrepreneurs know how to do successfully, those who eventually make it successful, is cut expense.
	Musk went to Twitter, 7,500 employees, fired 3,750, 1,250 decided to leave because they thought they were next.
	He ended up with 2,250 employees.
	That happened within a week or two of him buying Twitter.
	And X still worked for the rest of it.
	And not only works better, it's the number one downloaded app right now.
	Period.
	It's the number one downloaded app right now, Adam.
	4849, right?
	Partisan Republican downloads.
	I have a whole thing on Doge.
	I'll use it on another segment because I've actually been doing a lot of research on what they're doing.
	I mean, everyone's sort of excited of what this upcoming administration is.
	They're sort of the super team they're putting together.
	I'm most excited about this DOGE Department of Government Efficiency.
	Their task is to cut $2 trillion from the federal deficit.
	So I don't know how long they're going to do that in, how long they're going to take.
	We discussed this on a previous podcast: what's mandatory, what's discretionary, what is basically fixed, what's baked in the cake.
	I'm excited to see what budget cuts they're going to make.
	And it sounds like Planned Parenthood is going to be a big part of that.
	Gang Thursday, Thanksgiving.
	Put it in your calendar.
	By the way, those that are ordering the blackout hats, less than 100 left.
