	Did you ever think you would make it?
	I feel I'm so second chase sweet victory.
	I know this life meant for me.
	Why would you pat on Goliath when we got fed JV?
	Value payment, giving values contagious.
	This world of entrepreneurs, we get no value to hate it.
	Ideally running, homie, look what I become.
	I'm the one.
	All right.
	So look, it's Thanksgiving today.
	Let me start off with some disturbing news before you start your evening.
	Did you know one in four people still carry weight from holiday last year?
	Did you know this is the busiest Thanksgiving ever for travel with more than 18 million Americans taken to the skies?
	And if you were at the airport yesterday, let us know how ugly airports were and travel was.
	And did you know Americans will throw out 316 million pounds of food on Thanksgiving?
	And here's how it fuels.
	Ready for this?
	Climate change, folks.
	You throwing food away.
	You're messing with the climate.
	It's telling you the people in Antarctica are not happy with you in Alaska.
	You better watch out.
	And they also say statistics that giving thanks can make you happier and healthier.
	And we want to give you a thank you for being with us on Thanksgiving morning.
	Woke up this morning going for the walk and I see Dylan in the back practicing.
	I come in, drive up to the office, doing a bunch of Manex this morning, having conversations.
	And then I come in thinking we have maybe a handful of stories to cover.
	And then Rob drops 50 stories on me here right now that we've been preparing.
	Let me go through some of these stories, which are kind of fun.
	Mark Zuckerberg, this guy who's worth a lot of money and kind of a big deal, who runs Facebook, who wrote a letter, open letter to Honorable Chairman Jim Jordan a few months ago, was with Trump yesterday at Mar-a-Lago.
	I don't know what they were doing.
	Maybe he was showing them how to use Instagram better.
	Maybe it's the algorithms.
	Maybe it's Facebook.
	Maybe it's how to post better edited videos.
	I don't know.
	But something tells me was more than that.
	We will talk about that to tariffs.
	All these folks from Mexico, president, coming out talking shit.
	We're not going to do this.
	We're not going to do that.
	And then Trump makes a call.
	Well, we had a very good call together and it's going to be fantastic.
	Justin Trudeau, they can't make us do anything.
	Well, yeah, it was actually, it's actually going to be very interesting working together.
	It's going to be great.
	We're going to play some of those clips for you.
	Trump demands apology from New York Times and we'll tell you why that is.
	Very interesting story there.
	Trump transitioned news live updates.
	Justin Trudeau, President-like, had good talk.
	We'll play that clip.
	Tom's got something to respond to that.
	DNC official says Harris took no responsibility for blowing billions during campaign donor call.
	This person says they were stunned.
	And by the way, imagine if you gave her millions of dollars and she failed with all the money you gave her.
	You believed in her.
	Then it's the last meeting.
	It's the donor meeting to come and say thank you to all the people that gave you the money and you don't show up.
	Like, tell me who does such a thing, right?
	No show, nothing at all.
	And yet on some lists, she's at the top of the list of candidates for 2028.
	And there's a person here that's aspiring to run in 2028 that something happened yesterday, which Jason Miller shared and Tom brought it up to our attention.
	Hillary Clinton looks like she's planning for another one for 2028.
	That's exciting stuff, folks.
	Very exciting stuff.
	Then Kamala Harris gives a message on video.
	Megan McCain said, I don't understand why anyone on her team would even allow this video to be released.
	We're going to show it to you.
	It's extremely disturbing, entertaining.
	We can use a handful of different words like that in it, but you have to see it to believe that it's not a spoof.
	Nowadays, you have to think it's a deep fake.
	This is not a deep fake, right?
	This is one their campaign has to come out and say, this is a deep fake because it's that bad after you see it.
	Another clip I saw, this guy on CNN uses the phrase deer.
	Okay, dear.
	He uses the phrase deer, and you should see what they do.
	I think his name is Leon.
	We'll show the clip that you can't call a woman dear nowadays.
	And I posted a tweet and a commentary, super entertaining.
	Newsom proposes electric vehicle tax rebate plan, and you have to see which company he is not wanting to support.
	And somebody asked him, well, you got 26,000 employees here that they employ.
	I'll just let you see the clip for yourself and tell me if it makes any sense.
	Tom's got a bunch of stuff.
	He's going to be responding to that.
	And then a poll comes out revealing who the Democrats and Republicans want to see run in 2028.
	Very interesting.
	Fired CBS reporter reveals that her bosses blocked her Elon Musk interview.
	Why would you block an Elon Musk interview?
	We'll share that.
	Israel approves a two-month ceasefire with Hezbollah.
	Ex-Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, the last time he said something that went viral.
	Here's another one for you.
	He warns the perfect AI girlfriend could worsen loneliness for young men.
	We will talk about that.
	The new FHA raises conforming loans limit to 806, 806,000, and a bunch of different numbers on real estate.
	We'll share Baker Mayfield's father.
	He's soon his father.
	Can you imagine?
	He claims his dad stole $12 million from him.
	Dad stole $12 million from him?
	Yeah, his dad stole $12.
	It's kind of like that comedian that his brother stole.
	Tan Cook.
	$25 million.
	$20 million.
	Whatever the number was.
	Yes.
	Wicked interview sparks confusion over holding space.
	Folks, this video, I almost don't want to share it with you because I want you to have a happy Thanksgiving.
	This may disturb you a little bit when you see this strange video interview.
	I've never seen anything like this in my life before.
	Sharon Stone is not happy.
	I remember when her and I spoke about Florida.
	She was not a fan of Florida.
	We'll talk about why Sharon's not happy.
	And then we got a bunch of other things you need to know about pharmacies, what's open today if something happens.
	We'll cover that.
	We'll cover Elon asking if the IRS should be deleted after agency begs for $20 billion.
	He asks on Twitter and then him and Vivek toy with eliminating daylight savings time.
	I'm curious who on this panel is with that and who's not with it.
	And then Kamala Harris apparently didn't go on the Joe Rogan podcast because Trump sat down with him.
	And because of that, she didn't want to go on it, which is kind of very weird to think about.
	And then Kamala Harris calls that, Kevin O'Leary calls that Kamala and a few other things here to share with you.
	But anyways, hey, today is Thursday.
	It's Thanksgiving.
	Tomorrow is Black Friday.
	And the reason why they call it Black Friday is because that is the first day that a lot of the retailers go into profit mode.
	So whatever else they make the rest of the year, hey, the name is Black Friday.
	Let me tell you what my code's been every year for Black Friday.
	Many, many years ago, it was about lining up outside of Walmart or Best Buy or Costco.
	I'm going to get the big TV for 50% discount.
	Nowadays, it's Amazon and all this other stuff.
	And you splurge and you splurge and you splurge and nothing about you improved.
	And it's the same old, same old.
	Here's what we're doing for Black Friday, folks.
	First of all, we have a massive Black Friday sale that's going to be 50% off.
	There's a whole setup, 50% off hats, shirts.
	We have this notebook here, the value tame notebook that's got the multiple different charts that we use at the Vault Conference.
	For some of you guys that are business owners, this is a perfect notebook for you.
	50% discount.
	Shirts, gears, you'll see all these things.
	Wallets, Angry Patriots, stickers, even the SLS leadership event that if you attended it, it's $5,000 a ticket to $30,000 held at Mar-a-Lago.
	The recording is selling $4,000.
	Today's discount of $497.
	If you go all the way to the top rop, we have a bundle with all the different courses combined together.
	It's a price point of $12,688 when you buy it independently for the entire weekend.
	Whether you want to improve your sales or how to be a better public speaker, how to create content that goes viral, how to have strategies to scale your business, the vault recording, the advanced business strategy, business planning workshop, all of it that people, if they wanted to buy a ticket, they could spend $20,000, $30,000 for the ticket.
	Exclusive recording.
	This is going to be around 30 hours of recording for $9.97 only.
	Again, represent the brands you believe in.
	Take advantage of the brands that you want to support.
	I'm going around right now seeing value tame gear all over the place.
	Future looks bright, USA, Angry Patriot, everywhere, which is phenomenal to see.
	If you got big plans for 2025, find a way to recreate yourself.
	And if you represent PBD Podcast, Value Taming, how we process issues, what we do here, we're given a 50% discount on items purely this weekend.
	And by the way, I'm telling you this, anybody that places an order over $500, you're probably going to get a FaceTime call from me.
	So me, Adam, Vinny, we may do a surprise FaceTime call tonight during Thanksgiving and talk to you and have a conversation with you, but the order needs to be $500 or more.
	You'll get some surprise FaceTime calls from us.
	Having said that, go to VTMerch.com, place the order before these things sell out because they will this weekend.
	All right, let's get right into it.
	Now, we started off with some updates here, Thanksgiving, what it's looking like.
	I want to get some of my English down because sometimes, you know, every year I want to improve my English, the words I use.
	English is my fifth language.
	I'm watching the CNN interview and I'm getting confused, folks, on what nowadays is considered sexist, what's not.
	Rob, if you don't mind, just go to Twitter because I want to show the exchange on Twitter where I'm also showing the response.
	So this guy is on CNN, okay?
	And he calls this lady dear.
	And you should see the reaction.
	I think the host name, I try to look her up.
	Her name, her name is Abby Phillips or Abby Phillips.
	We'll look her up right now to see what it is.
	Just watch this and you tell me if you're offended by this phrase dear.
	Rob, if you can also, after this is up, run a poll.
	I want to know.
	I want to get better with my English.
	Go ahead and play this clip, Rob.
	Go for it.
	Audio, Rob.
	We can't hear anything unless if I'm deaf.
	Go back up a little bit, please.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	The investigation.
	Just to be clear, this investigation began under.
	Rob, it's so low.
	What's the story there, Rob?
	The bottom line is the DOJ.
	It might be on the guys in the back.
	Can you guys raise the audio on the video?
	Go ahead and play it again.
	Just to be clear, run it back, guys.
	Run it back.
	Let's see what's going to happen here.
	Okay, and all during.
	Just try to do your best to hear it.
	They said they didn't have enough to indict.
	That shouldn't be the same.
	It's not a charge, dear.
	Okay, excuse me, okay.
	All right, Rob.
	Thank you for the misogyny.
	I'm just going to stop it right here.
	We're not going to get off on a wrong foot.
	Please do not address a grown woman as dear.
	Do not do that at my table.
	Pause it right there.
	Do me a favor.
	Go to the comment section.
	Go to the comment section.
	So I asked the question, right?
	I asked the question.
	I said, go to the top, Rob.
	And I said, is this a joke?
	Since when does calling someone dear considered sexist?
	This is exactly why CNN keeps losing common sense viewers.
	Gola Lore.
	A lady responds and she says, since at least the early 2000s, she says.
	And I respond back respectfully.
	Thanks, dear.
	And then she responds back again, Rob.
	You have to show this.
	Show replies.
	And she responds back and she says, you can be sexist all you like.
	And I'm a housewife.
	You have to do too much more than to ruffle my feathers.
	If that was your true intent, of course.
	Then I said, dear Jenna, I have tremendous respects for housewives.
	It's a tough job and I applaud you for it.
	Respectfully, PBD.
	I mean, what other way do you respond back in an email?
	Hey, dear Vinny, I love you.
	I respect you.
	Tom, your English here is better than everybody else.
	You drop some big words sometimes.
	I'd say second is Adam.
	Your vernacular is amazing.
	Yes.
	When did the cop become the phrase dear become disrespectful?
	It didn't.
	And it never has.
	It's people that choose to find new ways to say I'm offended as a means to control dialogue and to push people into corners.
	That's all that's going on.
	She knew he was not being condescending.
	That was a fairly civil discourse.
	They were getting into it a little bit.
	They weren't yelling.
	They weren't interrupting, not yet.
	And the guy just goes, Okay, dear, you know, and he was not like, it's not.
	It's not condescending.
	You have emails from, I get emails unsolicited from people I don't know.
	Dear Tom, you know, you send an email to someone that you respond to, you know, on, you know, somebody's getting upset on Manect, and I'll respond to them on text and say, Dear Jane, dear Fred, you know, it's a common thing.
	It's almost like saying hi and hello, and it's like a salutation.
	It's a friendly salutation.
	Now, was he using it perfectly that way?
	Probably not, but it's not negative.
	It's not negative.
	They're choosing to be offended.
	Now, if she wants somebody to rev up, you know, and he wants to turn to her and just really heat it up and say, oh, go knock it off, bitch.
	You know, is that what she wants?
	That's something for her to do.
	Is that what she wants?
	Is that what they want?
	They want to, do they really want to get down?
	Okay.
	But I think I think she's pretending to be offended, finding new ways to be offended.
	That's what the pronouns is all about.
	You're not addressing me by my pronouns.
	You're offending me.
	It's all this feigned offense.
	I mean, but the thing is, this lady, Abby Ira, can you pull up?
	Let's see who this Abby Phillips person is.
	She's a new angry person.
	Can you go to Abby?
	Let's see your background.
	Okay.
	What school did she go to?
	So Harvard.
	Previously, she worked at political cover in the Obama White House, Washington Paul, National.
	Okay, and ABC News.
	Okay, then that makes sense.
	That's her background.
	She's known no other.
	Afro-Trinidian man.
	Trinidad.
	Trinidadian.
	Trinity.
	She may be offended by that because it says Trinidad Daddy.
	Daddy.
	So isn't that like offensive?
	Like Trini, Daddy, Ian.
	Maybe she's.
	Hang on.
	But by the way, Trinidadian.
	Daddy, that means trisexual.
	TRI, like she'll try anything.
	No, no.
	I'm actually making a serious comment here.
	Trinidadian.
	That's an Armenian language.
	She's Armenian.
	Well, it's like saying Americans.
	She's from Trinidad.
	Is that what that means, though?
	Afro-Trinidadian?
	Like, she's half.
	She's not Armenian.
	She's Trini.
	She's Trinidad.
	Trinidad.
	And she adds Armenian to the end of it.
	Guys, you have to put the possibility that she may be half Afro, half Armenian, because that's I-A-N.
	I-A-N.
	She could be Armenian from Iran.
	If it's Y-A-N, it's from Yerevan.
	I didn't even see it.
	But again, that could be my bad.
	Her family lived in Trinidad and Tobacco.
	Tobacco.
	So that's a nice place.
	Okay, let's keep going.
	Let's go with tobacco.
	And what school does she go to?
	She wants to Harvard.
	Oh, she wants to.
	What do you think?
	Okay, Gabbatcher and government.
	I originally intended to study pro Grab.
	Can you just she was studying pre-med.
	She couldn't take the chemistry issue.
	She said, I'm going to get a BA in government.
	Can you control F and just see if the word deer is used anywhere here?
	It's not.
	It's not.
	Well, then maybe she's right because dear Abby, dear Abby, right?
	Isn't it?
	Remember, dear Abby?
	It was the news thing, right?
	Where you write in all these articles.
	Are you kidding me?
	If there's anybody that should be for dear, it's Abby.
	It's her.
	Dear Abby, half Afro, half Armenian.
	Like, this is like Trinidadian.
	Is she serious?
	Is she from Virvont?
	Where is she?
	That's so funny.
	I've got a lot of Trinity friends.
	So okay, this next part is brought to you by DraftKings.
	How about the old Trinity when her clear notes?
	There's I-A-N.
	There's Y-A-N.
	I'm sorry.
	Even if the chance is less than 5%.
	Tigrambeckian.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	Abby.
	Kashetian.
	And then dear Abby.
	So, dear Abby, we were confused why you're offended by the phrase dear.
	So, Adam, we'll go to you before we go to the next story.
	Go for it.
	So, I actually was having dinner last night.
	By the way, happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
	Thank you, dear.
	With a lovely lady friend of mine.
	And I said, This will be going.
	Here we go.
	Back to girls.
	She's lovely.
	Like, listen, you could have said all of that.
	You could have just said, I went to dinner.
	You have to get soft voice.
	You have to get sexy.
	Just get with the story, bro.
	You see what I'm dealing with, guys?
	Make your point.
	So I was having dinner with my boyfriend last night.
	Was that what you had to do?
	Let's go out.
	I'm having a girl.
	I'm telling a story, gentlemen.
	Tell us.
	Tell us what happened with this.
	I'm having a conversation with this beautiful lady.
	And I said, and this woman is a massive Trump fan.
	Armenian?
	Not Armenian, American, half Venezuelan, maybe Trinidadian.
	I don't know.
	And all of a sudden, she turned Trinidadian.
	So the point is, I'm establishing the fact that she doesn't get offended easily.
	She's pro-Trump.
	And I said, watch his clip.
	What do you think?
	She said, I'm a little offended.
	I said, what do you mean?
	She said, if you, it's all about the tone.
	If you say, listen, dear, can I help you out here?
	Zero problem.
	But if you say, excuse me, dear, I'd be a little offended.
	I said, okay.
	So maybe it'd be the equivalent of if I go, hey, listen, bro, can you pass me that?
	Or, hey, bro, if I'm like, listen, bro, maybe you'd be a little offended.
	So do I think he was being misogynist, chauvinistic, sexist?
	Zero percent.
	Do I think they were offended easily?
	100%.
	Do I think he was being a little bombastic?
	Listen, I think that was not bombastic.
	I think the more important question is, are you guys going to go on a second date?
	That's the real question.
	That's the real question.
	This is more than a second date.
	But I think this is actually great for rating.
	Was she really offended and upset?
	This was the best exchange.
	Next time, Tom, I want you to wear a Merry Christmas hat.
	That's right.
	And ask her, excuse me, dear, is this offensive?
	I mean, what are you doing to do?
	I mean, Merry Christmas.
	Here's and then just go on a date with her.
	Was she upset?
	Did it like go downhill into a deeper conversation?
	Believe me, it definitely didn't go downhill.
	You never know with you.
	You may upset her, and then you're walking out front.
	You toss the condoms to the ballet and say, I don't need these.
	Condoms.
	Come on, what's wrong with you, Tom?
	What am I a sailor?
	But if you're that guy, you need a clap back, dude.
	He sat there as if he was getting lectured by Abby.
	Well, he knows that he'll never be able to do that.
	I'd be like, listen, I told her what I needed to tell her, and you shut your mouth also, dear.
	That's what I would have done.
	Boom, ratings.
	If that guy was actually legit, he would have clapped back.
	Guy.
	By the way, he's been a Trump advisor since 2016.
	This is not a really good guy.
	He's having a serious guy.
	However, listen, no, no.
	What I'm saying is, first of all, first of all, first of all, the point is this, okay?
	The power of that is the fear of not being invited back.
	Okay.
	The fear of not being invited back by CNN.
	The part about Scott Jennings that makes him a star right now is what?
	He claps.
	By the way, the guy that dear Abby Phillips said, hey, don't say anything about it, because he said, what did the whole thing with common sense with men competing in a female women's sports?
	And it's like, don't you, I don't want you to say anything about the LGO's own.
	And he goes, like, I don't know if you remember that one clip.
	And it's like, well, please, you have to respect his position.
	He said, well, I know I'm being attacked here.
	At least he said that I'm being attacked.
	So you're defending a position.
	And he came back and they kept attacking him non-stop.
	Him, Scott Jennings.
	I think if our brother here, who's a Trump advisor, watching, do you walk off the set, Pat?
	Do you, if that happened to us?
	No, I ask you to, I want you to ask me to leave.
	Okay.
	I want you to be uncomfortable.
	What do you mean, walk off the set?
	You got to stop the interview.
	And you got to be like, I'm sorry, excuse me.
	I'm going to keep saying, dear Abby.
	Please.
	Yeah, good.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Sweetheart.
	Honey.
	Honey baby.
	What else?
	Pumpkin.
	Where do you want me to go with this thing, Kim?
	Okay.
	Where do you want me to go?
	Do you want honey, pumpkin, all this stuff?
	We used to have one person in our office that every time she would, by the way, this is me.
	I'm a literal guy.
	And she would say pumpkin to you.
	I'm from freaking Middle East.
	We don't do Halloween.
	I'm like, if you call me pumpkin one more time, I swear to God, right?
	That's all right.
	You can call me Patrick, Pat.
	That's it.
	Pumpkin, cross the line.
	That's a ridiculous.
	That's a ridiculous because that's like, that's derogatory.
	Yeah.
	Hey, Apple Pie.
	So anyways, I don't want to get pissed off right now.
	I want to get to the next story, guys.
	Let's go to the next story.
	Whatever.
	This is a little frustrating, but let's go to a more, let's go to a little bit more of a good, like good vibe type of a video where, you know, it is Thanksgiving.
	People are going to have some drinks tonight.
	A lot of people.
	They are.
	I know, Vinny, you're not.
	I'm not.
	But some people are going to have some alcohol.
	They're going to spend time with Jack.
	Jim Rob already knew.
	Talking about having a drink and starting early.
	Here is a former presidential candidate, Kamala, in Hawaii.
	This is not a deep fake, folks.
	I will tell you, if your kids are watching this, ear muffs, have them close their eyes.
	They should not watch this.
	This is not good for kids.
	It's just as bad as watching a love scene in a movie and it completely shocks you.
	So pump the brakes, close your eyes.
	But for adults, brace for impact.
	Go ahead.
	Here's dear Kamala.
	Go ahead.
	I just have to remind you: don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
	I won't do it.
	Oh, my God.
	You have the same power that you did before November 5th.
	I appreciate you.
	And you have the same purpose that you did.
	And you have the same ability to engage and inspire.
	Her neck is 30 years older than that.
	Ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you?
	Oh my God.
	Look at her.
	You know, what she's trying to say is, don't let anybody take your drink away from you.
	That's what she really wants to do.
	We should do that.
	Let's dub it.
	Every time she says power, let's put violence.
	Drink.
	Can we take a look at this?
	Can we for one second, guys?
	Can we just for one second?
	After seeing something like this, the state of the union, okay?
	The sitting president has no idea where he is.
	He's 1000% has dementia.
	He's been on vacation more than any president in the history of the United States.
	The vice president who hasn't done anything, Tom, for four years, the borders are went to the border one time because she had to, is off of a vacation after spending $1.5 billion in three months and is coming in.
	Clearly, she's drunk or hungover.
	Meanwhile, and this is why people wonder why we are in the state that we are.
	Meanwhile, Jake Sullivan and Anthony Blinken are literally pushing us into a war.
	We have no president.
	The vice president is freaking tipsy and hungover.
	And that's why, Tom, and Tom, I want to know your opinion.
	That's why the importance of Trump coming in and showing that like these, nobody's in charge.
	Nobody's running the country right now.
	And that's why the awakening, the Donald Trump awakening, is one of the most important things, I think, in the history of politics.
	Well, part of what you talked about is lunacy.
	You're not lunacy, but it's lunacy itself.
	And the other part of it is serious as hell.
	Yes.
	And the part that's serious as hell is someone is calling the shots.
	Someone was green lighting the use of missiles being shot into Russia on one side.
	And on the other side, we've got a missing president who hasn't been seen in public.
	And he took a little walk in the rainforest.
	It was such a joke and it was memed to death that he hasn't been seen even doing announcements for charity.
	Nothing, nothing.
	Just parading him out to say, hey, we're going to be with the Boys and Girls Club this Christmas and with Toys for Tots.
	They could prop him up and have him say something like that this season.
	Nothing from the president.
	And meanwhile, now you've got the vice president after a failed campaign heading off to Hawaii.
	And you know what?
	I need a new shirt.
	I have always supported MAD, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers.
	Seriously, I have supported MAD for good reasons.
	But now I think there needs to be a branch of it, Mothers Against Drunk Democrats.
	And because we need to stop her.
	That's my feeling of it.
	First of all, can you hear us on the very serious side to what you're saying?
	And there's a very just lunacy that we as Americans.
	No, for sure.
	Keep accounting for the money.
	Can you go to Megan McCain's Twitter account for the inauguration?
	Go to Megan McCain's Twitter account.
	If you go to Megan McCain, she just tweeted this.
	And if you go a little lower, keep going lower, lower, lower, lower.
	She said right there.
	Zoom in a little bit.
	She says, take this down.
	She's still the sitting vice president.
	For God's sake, this is awful.
	Like really, really awful.
	The Democrats.
	Go lower, Rob, if you can.
	The previous tweet.
	No, she's right.
	Go back one.
	Go back 48 million views.
	Oh, my God.
	Are you kidding me?
	Like, imagine you wake up the next day.
	Your name is Kamala.
	You didn't know when you said yes to this.
	And you said, what the hell were you guys thinking?
	Exactly.
	You're the vice.
	What are you?
	I was hung over.
	Why did you guys let this go out?
	Oh, my goodness.
	Why did they let you shoot it?
	Why are you crazy to allow something?
	By the way, this is coming straight.
	So you know this is not a deep fake.
	Or maybe this is happening for a different reason.
	And let me kind of go into this.
	Maybe this, and I'm going to come to you.
	Biden was in the Amazon, so she's one anaconda from the president.
	And so check this out.
	Check this out.
	Check this out.
	And by the way, for those of you guys that enjoy having a little bit of fun on Thanksgiving, I have a challenge for you.
	Hanktai, we're going to do something here fun together.
	It's going to be a blast.
	And we're going to be trending on Twitter, but we're going to need your help.
	Hank Tide for me.
	Hang tight for me.
	Before we do this together.
	All right.
	So here we go.
	This story.
	Rob, go to this clip.
	I was stunned.
	The DNC official says Harris took no responsibility for blowing billions during campaign donor call.
	Zero responsibility.
	And by the way, you know who just took a happy $500,000 as if it's not a big deal?
	Guess who got $500,000?
	Hey, man.
	From the campaign?
	Yeah, who got $5,000?
	Go ahead, Tom.
	You know who I guess is Al Sharpton?
	Al Sharpton.
	Oh, weird.
	He's $500,000.
	He's $500,000 too.
	And a bunch of other people getting money in his head.
	But watch this.
	Watch the fact that she's saying there was zero responsibility, Rob.
	Please play this clip.
	She actually held two calls, one for her top donors and one for grassroots.
	I was speaking and texting with fellow attendees of recall, and we were amazed by how self-congratulatory the tone was.
	I don't recall, the call was about 20, 30 minutes.
	I don't recall anyone taking responsibility for the fact that we spent about $2 billion across Super PAC in the campaign and came up so significantly short.
	We lost seven swing states.
	Self-congratulatory.
	And what types of things were being said?
	They praised Harris as a visionary leader.
	I believe at one moment during the call, she was talking about her Thanksgiving recipe.
	I don't say this with any malice or anything.
	I'm just merely conveying what happened.
	I think I was stunned to hear that, given just the extent and brutality of the loss and the fact that DNC staffers, two-thirds, at least two-thirds have been fired summarily.
	And a lot of them are at a loss as to what to do.
	I'm just frankly stunned that there was no sort of post-mortem or an analysis of how we can do better, what sort of lessons were learned.
	It was really just patting it on back.
	Congratulations, Adam.
	What do you think about when you see this?
	So, a couple things.
	Back to that first video.
	This was Kamala's most viewed viral video ever.
	Period.
	A little bit too late for this thing.
	You know, but here's the reality with Kamala.
	There's a great picture of her residential.
	That's like my aunt.
	That looks like my drunk aunt.
	That's what she's going to be every single Saturday.
	Drunk uncle's.
	My aunt's moving.
	Hang on.
	That's my aunt.
	If you squint your eyes blurry, she's becoming Maxine Waters.
	She is.
	Holy crap.
	Adam, go ahead.
	Talk about your aunt.
	So the problem with Kamala is she can't win.
	She literally can't win when she doesn't speak enough.
	She's not speaking.
	Why isn't she speaking?
	She's not doing interviews.
	And then when she does speak, people are saying, why is this chick speaking?
	What?
	Shut her up already.
	What's wrong with this woman?
	She can't win.
	So that's the sign of a very bad politician.
	She's just incredibly unlikable.
	Pat said this before.
	If there was actually a primary and they actually had to get up on stage and debate, she wouldn't have beat Gavin Newsome.
	She wouldn't beat Pritzker.
	She wouldn't have beat Whitmer.
	She wouldn't have meet a whole host of people.
	Josh Shapiro, 2020.
	And thank you.
	Exactly.
	We know what happened right there.
	Her unlikability factor is incredibly high.
	They tried to basically catapult her up the mountain.
	All right, D-E-I-M-B-B-B-M-B-B-B.
	Put her on all these things.
	It didn't work.
	We understand that.
	You know, there's something called a lame duck president.
	This is the lamest duck vice president maybe ever.
	Because not only is she still the lame duck VP, she's also the lame duck candidate that just lost.
	And in honor of National Turkey Day, she gets the award for that.
	As far as how much money she spent, $2 billion, it is what it is.
	They could have raised $3 billion.
	She would have lost.
	She got destroyed.
	And the fact that she's getting on calls and not even being conciliatory and being like, my Jamaican Thanksgiving potty recipe, check me out.
	It's all over for Kamala, but she'll get a job working for probably Halliburton or some lobbyist and they get a million bucks a year.
	Let me continue a couple stories and Tom, I'm going to come to you.
	Kamala Harris campaign advisor admits she had no path to victory.
	This is campaign advisor.
	There was no path to victory.
	And they admitted this.
	David Plowf on Pot Sill America.
	Rob, do you have this?
	Go ahead and play this clip.
	There was no path for it.
	So listen, there is no way you're going to win.
	Well, let's spend $2 billion.
	Let's give it a bunch of money to our friends and family.
	Of course.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	Play this clip, please.
	We got the race to dead heat was positive, but boy, it was slow moving.
	And I think we were focused on seven states.
	You know, that's our windshield into the world, the battleground states.
	But, you know, what we saw on election day was, you know, New Jersey and California and Connecticut and New York, massive shifts.
	So I think where Kamala Harris campaigned, we were able to keep the tide down a little bit, but it ended up being a pretty strong tailwind for Donald Trump.
	And I think it's worth reminding everybody.
	We saw in 22, even though that was a pretty decent Democratic year, we saw these shifts.
	We saw them in 20.
	We saw them in 16.
	You know, Trump specifically, but Republicans generally say there's a lot of people improving their vote share.
	He doesn't actually say that in the clip.
	He just continues to allude that they lost all the swing states and got hammered in all of them.
	All lost all swing states and got hammered on all of them, but they saw a path that this was kind of momentum going the direction it was going 2022.
	Do you see what Humberto is?
	When he says this got hammered, does he mean they were drinking with Kamala?
	Way she stayed six nights with her husband in a place, spent six nights post-election at $1,300 a night, Hawaiian retreat owned by Mondavi wine family member.
	The state included three complimentary bottles of Mondavi family wine.
	She later returned to the Bay Area.
	Thanks even while reflecting on her campaign while which spent over a billion dollars but failed to win any of the battleground states.
	Go ahead.
	What do I say?
	Thanks, Dennison United.
	This was at Humberto Sentas yesterday.
	This was the margin of victory in each state all across the country.
	Humberto sent us.
	So you see all the blue on the map?
	I don't.
	Exactly.
	Basically, the country was like, yeah, we're done.
	We can't deal with this anymore.
	By the way, this is a, you know, what's the thing with the acceleration when things go?
	Two years ago, Trump's approval rating was 30-something percent.
	Biden's approval rating and the Democratic approval rating after midterm elections were over 50%.
	The country after midterms when the red wave was going to happen was like, yeah, we're done with this MAGA stuff.
	If you would have told the general person two years ago, after the midterm elections, oh, by the way, Trump's going to win and the entire country is going red.
	Any normal, sensible person would be like, what are you talking about?
	But over the last two years with the DEI stuff, with the woke stuff, with our friend Dylan Mulvaney, all this not knowing the difference between a man and a woman, all the weaponization of justice, everything added up to the entire country going red.
	Watch this.
	Okay, Florida got a little bit redder.
	DeSantis, we get it.
	Texas?
	14%.
	Look at California and look at New York and New Jersey.
	Are you freaking kidding me?
	Over here already got over here.
	You got to explain what this means.
	This means which states got bluer.
	Yes.
	Which states got redder.
	Guys, America got redder.
	Yes.
	Even Hawaii.
	Even DC.
	That is.
	Not one state got bluer.
	Hey, tough guy.
	Hey, take it easy.
	I'm from Yemeni Claw.
	But Adam, and you nailed it.
	So $2 billion.
	Let's address the first point because Rob talked about this yesterday on the unusuals.
	Think about all the grassroots people, all the people that busted their asses.
	And you, as the freaking front-running president for this party, you couldn't even come out and be like, hey, guys, thank you.
	Good job.
	Well, you know, congratulations for at least the thing that we did.
	And you know what's crazy?
	$2 billion and this whole, you know what they sticked up?
	Hooray's black woman of color.
	It was going to work.
	It's done.
	Everybody's done.
	And you proved to it with Obama.
	Obama didn't move the needle at all.
	And think about this.
	For that $2 billion, she should have just said, you know what?
	I know we're going to lose since they know there's no path to victory.
	Take that $2 billion, you border czar, you know what?
	And put it to the border.
	Let's start.
	That's what she should have done.
	I'm going to lose.
	But you know what?
	Instead of taking all that money and wasting it on a campaign, let's put it to the border and actually try to help America be protected.
	Well, I back in.
	Bye, I'm as shocked and as emotional as you are about it.
	And I back down and kind of into my quantitative mode.
	That just wasn't anybody speaking.
	That was Lindy Lee, who is the DNC finance committee.
	She's the money.
	So what do they do?
	They are the ones that politely reach out.
	Hi, this is what we're going to be doing.
	The campaign's ready money to do this.
	We're with the DNC.
	We're going to be pushing this.
	She's going door to door with major corporations.
	She's going, she's at Google.
	She's at Facebook.
	She's at all these places.
	And then she's going back to Soros and these people.
	So this is a credible political party, Democratic Party.
	And then what did she say happened?
	Two-thirds of the DNC, the Democrat National Committee, isn't just here during an election year.
	They are here all the time because right now, every two years, House of Representatives elections go off.
	So they are already getting ready for two years going into the midterm elections.
	They're already there because they're doing damage control right now, trying to get back in.
	She said two-thirds of the DNC has been fired.
	So, someone atop the DNC is reacting right now and saying, my next five moves, they're doing their next five moves.
	And the last point I'll make, when they say they saw no path to victory, man, you should have seen.
	Remember when Pat said, hey, we're doing the polling and everything, Tom, do a polling show.
	Let's talk to the value attainment audience.
	We kept it short, 10 minutes a week.
	We had a 17-week countdown, and we carefully, with the same AI research.
	Carefully crushed it.
	Right, that's right.
	What we were using, well, Pat had invested in all those engineers for VTNews.ai.
	So we were using that in the AI, building our models and looking at it.
	And we said, you know what?
	Atlas Intel, Rasmussen, these folks look like they've got it together because that's the numbers we're seeing.
	And guess what?
	We were dead right.
	That's the same stuff that they were seeing inside DNC.
	And they were lying to their donors, telling them that they thought they could have win.
	There's a path to victory here.
	They were point-blank lying to them.
	Two-thirds of all those people lost their job.
	And you've got this woman looking at it and saying, Lindy Lee, going, the campaign's got some responsibility here.
	And I'm freaking shocked.
	So you just said two years is coming up.
	That's the next election.
	As business guys, as guys that the midterms, that run companies, how do you adjust as the Democratic DNC?
	Whatever that, I get on the surface.
	Stop with the race up on the how do you adjust?
	How would you guys hey, they're being dumb forever.
	My next five moves would be two-thirds of you are fired.
	Yeah.
	So there are not stupid people at the DNC.
	There's a lot of them, but there are people that know what they're doing, know how to run it.
	And someone has stepped up and said, control, alt, delete, stop.
	Two-thirds of you are fired.
	Now let's get ready for the midterms.
	This is going to be a fight.
	So there are smart people that are going to be.
	Let me tell you who is maybe a very qualified person to answer the question for you.
	Do you know who Brian Williams is?
	Yeah, of course.
	Brian Williams stepped down.
	He had a job.
	He stepped down.
	And Brian Williams.
	NBC.
	NBC.
	He was.
	The ABC at one point.
	And by the way, when he stepped down, he was like furious when he stepped down.
	He wrote a letter.
	He wrote a letter and it was like anybody, you know, when he stepped down?
	I think he stepped down in the middle of election.
	Two years ago.
	No, when did he step down?
	No, no, no.
	No, I actually disagree.
	He stepped down as host of election.
	I don't know when he stepped down, but he stepped down.
	He announced on November 2021 that he would be leaving MSNBC.
	So three years ago.
	Okay, three years ago, he stepped down.
	Watch this.
	He was fired.
	He did a couple of things, right?
	Well, he had some controversy in the past as well.
	But let me tell you what he said.
	He's on Seth, what's the guy's name?
	Seth Myers.
	Seth Myers.
	So watch what he says to Seth Meyers.
	He goes there, his words.
	He says it's tough love for the Democratic Party.
	It's time to strip down and rebuild the whole thing.
	Maybe we're not going to play the whole clip.
	It's a buck 50.
	Go on and play this clip, Rob.
	Watch this.
	I feel like the Democratic Party under Joe Biden did a lot of things for working class voters.
	Certainly inflation was a giant issue.
	Messaging as well.
	Do you feel like they just failed to message what they had done for and had planned for the past?
	It is tough love time for the Democratic Party.
	I think it needs to be stripped down and rebuilt.
	I think that means a change in leadership.
	Damn.
	That's all I want to know who thought it was a good idea.
	Obama's the leader.
	Joe Biden stand for another four years at 80 years of age and 37% popularity.
	So then that saddled the party with a British-like short campaign season for them.
	I think it's insulting when members of the working class, which the Democratic Party has lost entirely in their lifetimes to insist the economy is doing great.
	A 12-pack dollars.
	Rich folks don't feel that.
	Poor folks already switched to Sparkle during the COVID during the lockdown.
	And I think telling them that the NASDAQ is gangbusters is further insulting.
	It's insulting.
	I think the biggest unforced error of the Biden administration by far was the border.
	To tell people it's not a problem is insulting for the working class to see incoming migrants getting welcome bags, debit cards, and motel rooms.
	Yes.
	is probably insulting as well.
	So there's a lot of work to do.
	You know, it was when they handed out camo hats that said Harris Walls and the Democrats were, they were kind of charmed by that.
	Their party has gone quinoa and the rest of America's eating at cracker barrel.
	And so it was kind of an ironic use of something millions of Americans put on their heads to start their day every day.
	Wow, I didn't see that.
	By the way, you can't put it better than the way a Democrat put it.
	A Democrat that's been in this space that was part of mainstream.
	He's telling you this is the problem.
	To the face of a guy that is all in for all of those things that he trashed.
	And so imagine his audience has been hearing him say all this stuff.
	Look at the great economy.
	Look at what's going on.
	It's like, no, man, you've been fooling people as well.
	You're part of the problem.
	Yeah.
	To his face.
	So, Pat, who steps up?
	Okay, Obama, done.
	Hillary, yeah, she's hinting.
	Who's going to step up for the Democratic Party?
	I'm being genuine.
	And be like, all right, guys, no more of this race shit.
	LGBTQ, whatever, this dear, sensitive crap.
	We have to admit that the borders is.
	Who's going to step up for them and be like, listen, this is how we're going to do it.
	All you old people, get the hell out.
	We have to go new.
	You know who had a shot?
	I mean, Rob just pulled this up.
	If you want to zoom in a little bit, Rob, who the Democratic voters want to see run in 2020?
	Kamala's at 37%.
	Which, by the way, if you're conservative, that's great.
	Yeah, please.
	Fantastic.
	Please run her.
	Gavin Newsome, seven.
	Satan, seven.
	Fantastic, Pete, four.
	Whitmer, three.
	Josh Shapiro, three.
	Michelle Obama, two.
	They have nobody.
	Bernie two.
	Tim Waltz, one, undecided.
	Whoever the undecided guy is, he should go.
	Here's what I would say when it comes down to this.
	There were moments, and this is a missed opportunity on him.
	The one guy on this list that's the most formidable is who?
	Who's the most formidable?
	I think Josh Shapiro.
	Shapiro.
	Shapiro and who's the second most formidable?
	Gavin Newsome.
	Okay, perfect.
	So let's go through those two guys.
	Shapiro on policy, Newsom on presence.
	And remember, the one thing I've learned in my lifetime is, do you think Trump is the smartest when it comes down to policy?
	No.
	Out of all them, I think out of all the Republican candidates, 2016.
	He's not the smartest.
	Who is the most qualified lawyer, military, policy, worked in Congress, worked as a senate, worked at a governor, ran as a state, knows the swamp?
	Is he the most qualified?
	The answer is he is not the most qualified.
	He's the most quarterly.
	You won't like the name, but the one who's probably Ted Cruz, if you take away how he says it and how he upsets people, and you were just to look at, if he wrote it down and you read it, you would say, whoever wrote this paper here is the guy.
	I'm with you.
	But guess what my point is?
	You know what we've learned?
	Market doesn't care who's the smartest.
	Right.
	No, no, I'm telling you.
	You're right.
	Market doesn't care who's sitting.
	The market's like, who do I think is going to get the job done?
	Period.
	We're so much like you go.
	You want to, like, I remember one time I went to one of my guys.
	It's like, hey, you want to meet the smartest guy that knows every single word in the Bible.
	I'm like, what are you talking about?
	He says, you give him any scripture, he's going to tell you exactly what it is.
	He's memorized the entire Old and New Testament.
	I said, get out of here.
	He says, no, you got to come to Sunday Seaman service.
	I go to his service.
	There's less than 100 people in this guy's church.
	He's been doing it for 20 years.
	And I said, wait a minute.
	This is the guy who says, Yeah.
	He says, You want to meet him afterwards?
	Ask him any question.
	I said, Yeah.
	Afterwards, we meet him.
	I'm like, What about this?
	And what about that?
	Boom, boom, boom.
	Just random.
	You open up the Bible, tell him Deuteronomy.
	Not stuffed like Proverbs, you know, whatever.
	He's got it.
	Now, Walker, and I don't want to ask the guy.
	I said, if he knows so much about the Bible, how come no one comes to his church?
	He's been doing this for 20 years because he doesn't know how to baptize.
	He doesn't know how to deliver the message.
	Newsome knows how to deliver the message.
	Newsome showed signs of going to the center a little bit.
	Remember when Tom would say, Here's another opportunity.
	Here's another chance that he's shown that he's going to center.
	He's doing this.
	He's doing that.
	And then what does he do?
	He fumbles it again.
	Look at this here.
	Newsome proposes electric vehicle tax rebate plan.
	Make up your mind.
	Do you want us to drive electric or gas?
	What is the incentive?
	Tell us.
	Okay.
	I'm going to read this, Rob, and then you can play the clip.
	Newsom has proposed a new electric vehicle rebate program that may exclude Tesla, a move that has drawn ire from CEO Elon Musk.
	The initiative aims to revitalize the state's clean vehicle rebate program, which was phased out in 2023.
	And as a response to President-elect Donald Trump's plans to eliminate federal tax credits for EVs, Musk criticized the proposal as insane, highlighting that Tesla is the only electric vehicle manufacturer in California and previously received a significant portion of state rebates.
	Newsom's office contends that excluding larger market players like Tesla could foster competition amongst automakers.
	The proposal, which would necessitate negotiations with the state legislature, is seen as part of Newsom's strategy to counter federal policies under Trump.
	Rob, going to play this clip.
	Go for it.
	Watch this here.
	Tesla's electric vehicles would likely not qualify for California's new state tax credits.
	That's under a proposal in the works if President-elect Donald Trump scraps the credit for EV purchases.
	The update came from the state's governor, Gavin Newsom's office, on Monday.
	It prompted Tesla shares to close down 4% and fall another 1.2% in after-hours trading.
	Reuters reported this month that Trump's transition team is considering eliminating the federal tax credit of $7,500 for EV sales.
	Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, a close Trump advisor, sharply criticized the idea of barring the automaker from EV subsidies.
	He wrote on X in response: Even though Tesla is the only company who manufactures their EVs in California, this is insane.
	The state faces financial headwinds with an estimated $2 billion budget deficit next year.
	EVs account for 22% of California's car sales.
	How are you?
	But Musk and Newsom have clashed over a number of state policies.
	These include the shutting of a Tesla factory during the pandemic and California's approval of a bill on transgender children.
	In 2021, Tesla moved its headquarters from California to Texas.
	Musk said this year that his other companies, such as SpaceX and social media platform X, will follow suit.
	Can you imagine that?
	You can pause it right there.
	By the way, 56% of new EV sales in California last quarter, according to Bloomberg, were all what?
	Tesla.
	Tesla.
	56%.
	And you're doing something like this, Tom.
	What are your thoughts on this here?
	Well, first of all, let's just look at the facts before I go off.
	So Newsom's office says, excluding larger market players like Tesla, no, excluding Tesla, could foster competition among automakers.
	But wait a minute.
	No other EV manufacturers make anything in California.
	So because you're having a hissy fit over Elon Musk and you're going to do this, you're going to cause others to compete with Tesla.
	But there's 27,000 Californians, Fornians employed by Tesla, including 22,000 at the factory in Fremont.
	Let me pronounce Fremont, San Francisco Bay Area.
	So it's the most liberal of the liberal areas of the state, and you have 22,000 Californians that work there.
	Meanwhile, your governor is going to say there needs to be more competition.
	And if there's more competition and it's successful, some of those people could get laid off.
	Isn't that shocking?
	So I look at that and I'm like, what are you doing?
	The other side of it is you're basically playing the same hissy-fit retaliation.
	This is how liberals retaliate.
	And I'll prove it.
	The 2021 Biden White House EV summit, who did they not invite?
	Elon Musk.
	If you go back and look at the articles there, there were two articles that were written in the mainstream media that said that was the point where Musk went from neutral to breaking from the Democrats.
	That that was Musk saying, well, that's the last straw.
	And what did he do to them?
	He basically put jet fuel in the Trump campaign, supporting it with all the things he did.
	And so he is in no small part a very active participant in the defeat of Joe Biden.
	And now you're sitting here, Gavin Newsom, basically throwing a fit, saying you're going to eliminate some subsidies.
	And by the way, you're trying to get to 30% EVs in California.
	You saw that announcement, right?
	Big thing.
	And yet you're going to make the EV more expensive for Californians and you're going to put some Californian jobs at risk.
	But he's going to run to the microphone, the slick guy that he is, and he's going to put the spin on it.
	But the truth, the absolute truth is this is an absolute wrong-headed policy that Democrat congressmen, Democrat congressmen talking about U.S. congressmen, Democrats of California are saying, what are we doing?
	What are we doing here?
	Yeah, but the reason why we went into this story with Newsom is the following.
	Newsome has a shot at 2028.
	So who is going to be when Brian Williams is saying we need to get rid of everything that they've done and start all over, right?
	Okay.
	Leadership at the top.
	Who is the voice of the Democratic Party?
	It's Obama.
	It's Brock.
	Okay.
	And who do you put in the top five today?
	Who are the voices of the Democratic Party?
	Hillary Clinton.
	All right.
	Nancy Pelosi.
	Okay.
	Chuck Schumer.
	Soros has to be in there.
	George, he's the money guy.
	So he's in the top five.
	Not George, little Soros.
	Little Soros.
	Oh, yeah.
	Alex.
	And then you got a few other names that you're thinking about, right?
	Okay.
	So somebody has to come in.
	Think about who is the Soros of the right today.
	Who's the Soros?
	Elon Musk.
	Of course it is.
	And it's not even close.
	And Soros going against Elon Musk.
	Who is more powerful?
	Elon Musk.
	It's not even close.
	Yeah.
	Because Soros doesn't know how to, he's not out there.
	Elon is.
	And he's got a very hard time competing against Elon.
	He wishes he had Elon's type of money.
	He's still going to do his part.
	He's still going to play his game, but it's not going to work when it comes down to going up against the Musk.
	There needs to be an outsider.
	Because look what's going on here that even Ilhan Omar comes out and says, what the hell were you thinking, Harrison Waltz, when you started courting Liz Cheney?
	She called it a huge misstep.
	By the way, it is huge.
	Here's a person that when Christian Bale won the, what do you call it?
	The Oscar, and he says, I want to thank the devil for allowing me to play this movie.
	Oh, my goodness.
	He called Dick Cheney the devil when he won.
	Do you guys not remember the speech?
	Oh, my God.
	So you are able to say that at freaking Oscars after you win for the movie Vice, and now you want to go get you think American people forgot?
	Nope.
	So, you want American people to go back?
	I don't know if we can pay if we get flagged or not, but that's the speech.
	Will we get flagged, Rob, or no?
	Because we're commenting.
	Okay, go ahead.
	Play the clip.
	Is this the one, Rob?
	It is, but it's two minutes and six seconds.
	I think he says it in the first 10 seconds.
	Let's see if this is what it is.
	I think he says it right off the bat.
	Oh, look at all of us.
	What a bunch of lucky buggers we are, right?
	To make a life out of doing something that we love.
	That's extraordinary.
	Thank you for allowing me to be a part of that for so many years.
	Thank you to my beautiful wife, who told me less is more.
	Say less right now.
	She knows the dumb crap that can come out of my mouth at times.
	I can sink and ruin a perfectly good movie and a so-so career in one speech.
	So thank you for that advice, my love.
	I wouldn't be working without her.
	And thank you for our beautiful children.
	Mama, Banana and Burrito.
	You know, they've given me a love and a soul that I never thought possible.
	Thank you to that geezer over there, Adam.
	We can pause this.
	But he gets my point, Rob.
	He can find a shorter code when he gets to it.
	He gets right to it.
	He literally says, he says this: Satan or devil.
	He says, I want to thank him because without him, I would have never played a role.
	But anyways, so you do that.
	So now they're all behind closed doors.
	But here's the part.
	This is exactly where in the Republican Party right now, there are no opportunities.
	You know why?
	Why are there no opportunities today in the Republican Party?
	Trump owns the party, and then you have JD Vance that's going to be on the party.
	Let me tell you why.
	No, because there's the Republican Party today under Trump, they don't need anything.
	You're right.
	There is no problem to solve.
	They got the right people.
	Yep.
	And the right policies and the rights.
	So for example, like, you know, hey, I want to be the governor of such and such.
	Great.
	Guys are right now reaching out to me.
	Hey, who do you think is going to be the next governor of Florida?
	You want to run after DeSantis?
	He's done a great job.
	Go ahead.
	What are you going to solve?
	Tell me what he's done that you're going to do better than DeSantis.
	Go ahead.
	You don't understand what I'm saying?
	You got to flip one and a half million votes.
	Even the next senator.
	Yeah.
	Because Joe Ruby.
	So literally, there's more opportunities on the Democratic Party right now than the Republican Party.
	Because under the Republican Party, you can't be an outsider and say, you see, the reason why Trump didn't win is because of that.
	You don't have that ability.
	It's done.
	There is no argument.
	So many establishment Republicans were waiting for him to lose to say, this is why our way.
	And if you guys would have listened to us, right?
	Guess what?
	The Democratic Party has that opportunity.
	You got a good argument.
	This is the time for you to come out and show your argument because they're in shambles right now.
	They are in shambles right now.
	And by the way, you know who that could be?
	Let me tell you what that could be.
	That could be a common sense outsider that has a lot of money.
	That could be a common sense outsider with a lot of wealth, a lot of finances who can come in and say, look, guys, if you guys want to go this route, I'm not with it.
	If you guys want to go this crazy, I'm not with it.
	If you guys want to go and, you know, transgender puberty blocker, I'm not with it.
	I'm for this.
	I'm for boom, boom, boom, boom.
	Okay?
	If you're for boom, boom, boom, boom, I'm in.
	If not, I'm out.
	So this is the problem.
	Rogan's doing a podcast.
	I think yesterday, he's talking to Mark Andreessen, and he tells Mark, he says, hey, they keep talking about they got to go find their next Joe Rogan on the left.
	Joe says, you had him.
	I was with you.
	You lost me.
	What do you mean, go find a Joe Rogan on the left?
	I was you.
	And now you're asking him, is this the one, Rob?
	No, hang on.
	I'm looking.
	You'll see it.
	You'll see it.
	You had me, and now you want to go out there and say you're going to find the next Joe Rogan.
	Now they got to go build the next Joe Rogan on.
	Who is it?
	Alice Cooper?
	Alice Cooper's not Joe Rogan?
	No.
	Is that her name, by the way?
	I want to say correctly.
	I don't want to.
	Alex Cooper.
	Alex Cooper.
	It's not.
	No, no, IAN at the end.
	So Alex Cooper Young, right?
	So Alex Cooper, you think she's going to be the next Rogan?
	Who's going to be the next Rogan on the left?
	And by the way, what is the next Rogan?
	You know what is the next Rogan?
	Yesterday, I'm talking to Kevin McCarthy and we're having a conversation about a book.
	He's always such a big reader.
	So he's always like, we share books with each other.
	He says in the book, Think Again.
	You know what's the concept about the book, Think Again?
	It's like it's okay to be wrong and think again.
	I think it's by the guy, Adam Grant.
	He wrote another book called Originals, which I freaking love.
	It's like, hey, by the way, this guy's a liberal himself, the author, but it's okay.
	So if the Democrats can't think again and you're stubborn to your old policies that you can't let go, guess what?
	You may be destroyed for many, many, many years to come because right now, they have these predictions, Rob.
	I don't know which page it's at, if you can help me out.
	That says the pics of the left and the right of president for 2028.
	And they have the favorites.
	It's on one of these pages.
	I just looked at, oh, there it is.
	It's on page seven.
	Paul reveals who Democrats and Republicans want to run in 2028.
	Here's a poll showing the left and the right.
	Is this the one on the left?
	Yes.
	Okay, so we just showed that.
	Can you go to the one on the right?
	Look at the one on the right.
	If you got it, that'd be great to show it.
	Here's the one on the right.
	Look at that.
	Boom.
	Look at that.
	It's not even close.
	JD's 30.
	Ron is five.
	Vivek three.
	Haley, two.
	RFK is now considered a Republican.
	Wow.
	Tulsi one, 51% undecided, right?
	So you go to JD, okay?
	Trump goes the way he's gone.
	By the way, you guys remember when I said pre-election, it's Trump won, then everybody else.
	I said post-election, enemy of the state number one is going to be who?
	Musk, then JD, then Trump and everyone else.
	It's already happening.
	You know what stories are circulating right now?
	Let me tell you what stories are circulating right now.
	They're showing pictures of Trump standing in the back next to Musk while Musk is speaking and Trump's looking like skeptical.
	Okay.
	Because what they're trying to do now is this, and I called it, that's the one right there, fifth one.
	Fifth one, Rob.
	No, that's, that's, uh, now there's one other one you'll see where he's looking at him with a frown.
	He just showed it.
	Yeah.
	So, so he's, that's not the one.
	That's another one.
	So, uh, so anyways, this is what they're going to be doing.
	What they're going to be doing right now is the following.
	You know what the perfect play is?
	Let me tell you what the perfect play is.
	Oh, and it's going to, it could work.
	I hope it doesn't work, but it could work.
	What I love about what Musk said is, I don't want any credit.
	I don't want any awards.
	I don't want any money.
	I just want to make America great.
	I don't want nothing.
	It's a beautiful thing because sometimes they say the best CIA agents, when I interviewed this lady who was a CIA agent of 2020 or Jonah Mendez, I said, what makes for a great CI agent?
	Do you remember her answer?
	No.
	She said, somebody that's a great salesperson, great negotiator, extremely charming, extremely charismatic, hardworking, phenomenal at everything they do.
	But when they meet somebody, they don't go and brag about who they made and post a picture all over social media and tag it.
	Oh, look who I am, right?
	They are willing.
	They saved the free world and they don't want the credit for it.
	That's the right CIA agent, right?
	Sometimes that makes for somebody that's a good right-hand guy, a good running mate, somebody that is not like looking for that credit.
	Elon Musk is showing that.
	I'm the richest man in the world and I want nothing from you, Trump.
	But they're going to do the following.
	And I'm telling you, it could work effectively if it gets under Trump's skin.
	And here's what it is.
	40 laws of power, law number one, Rob.
	Can you go to 40 laws of power, law number one?
	Do you know what law number one is?
	Never outshine.
	Don't outshine.
	Never outshine the master.
	Law number one, never outshine the master.
	For the next four years, nobody can outshine Trump.
	And I mean nobody.
	If anything happens and credit is given and they spin it, this is how they do it.
	You ready?
	Elon Musk is Trump's puppet master.
	That's what they're going to do.
	That's coming soon.
	Guy manected me yesterday.
	He says everything you said about Zuck because he says you and Trump are time travelers.
	You guys are like, you're predicting all this stuff.
	And it was a funny thing that he's saying.
	But I know they have to create that friction between those two.
	It's not even JD right now.
	They'll do JD and you're 3-4.
	But they have to do Musk right now.
	You're one, you're two.
	First, they're going to have to find that play between the two, and they're going to have to write it all over the place.
	Cover of Time magazine.
	It's got to be a puppet master.
	What do you call it?
	A picture of Musk and Trump on the bottom holding them just to poke the bear.
	That's what they're going to do.
	And they're going to say the president of the United States is really Elon Musk.
	It's not Trump.
	Elon Musk is the president of the United States, and he's toying with Trump.
	And they're going to poke the bear, poke the bear, poke the bear.
	And I just pray and hope it does nothing to Trump.
	I pray and hope when that comment is made, Musk attacks whoever wrote it because they're going to do it.
	It is coming.
	Whenever you go up against a divisive community, who the way they, there's two types of people who win in life, any it's very weird.
	They compete in a very different way.
	The one type that wins is the guy that's willing to go to work, solve the problem, recruit the people, raise the money, be patiently aggressive.
	Eventually, boom, we win.
	Yes.
	And look at what we've built.
	But the opposition is the one that wins by preventing you from winning, spreading rumors, spreading disinformation, throwing you under the bust, propaganda, pinning you against your people, internally getting in a web and using phrases like, you see, you never get credit.
	Everyone's this.
	You know, without you, Trump would have never won.
	You're the reason why he won Pennsylvania.
	You're the reason why this.
	If you would have done that, do you realize that you're the person that may pull this up?
	Do you realize that you were the one that's how they play?
	And by the way, sometimes this is more effective short term.
	This is effective long term, but this is effective short term.
	Look what happened when he's like, yeah, they got me for six years.
	Russia collusion.
	Who else did they get?
	For six years.
	But guess what?
	It was effective enough to not win in 2020.
	It was effective enough when 51 CIA secret intelligent officers says that there's nothing in that laptop.
	It worked.
	It's effective to say, hey, Dorsey, don't post that story up from New York Post.
	It worked.
	These guys are great at winning short term, but they ruin marriages.
	They ruin incredible alliances.
	They destroyed great relationships.
	They destroyed great empires.
	This movie that came out, Gladiator 2, Denzel plays the villain who goes and divides the two brothers, helps one brother kill the other brother.
	That's the story.
	Short term, he wins.
	Long term, listen, it's fine long term, but this is only a four-year, what do you call it, term.
	And in four years, you're going to, I'm convinced this image I just told you is coming very soon.
	Wow.
	I'm convinced.
	They're going to play this card very soon.
	And so the fact that it's out there, I hope people are talking about this, you know, where they're going to play this card.
	And I just hope Trump's folks are preparing for this.
	They're going to do it.
	They're going to do it.
	And then if it's across the board with everybody, time, CNN, MSNBC, you know, Politico, Vanity Fair, every one of them is playing to this card.
	40 laws of power, law number one.
	Never outshine the master.
	And I'm convinced the person that's going to prevent this from happening is Musk.
	Because Musk doesn't care to get the credit.
	Musk is a true believer.
	Musk, I believe, is doing it because he really believes in something.
	Or else, how much more money do you need?
	If it was anybody else, I think it could work.
	I don't think it could work just because I think it's Musk.
	Just because.
	Because I think Musk is a natural organic flag carrier.
	Do you understand what I'm saying with this whole messaging?
	So for me, that's why I said an outsider in the Democratic Party could come in, but that person needs to come in and say, hey, Obama, let's face it, you've lost credibility.
	We're still going to need you, but this is not working, the stuff we're pitching.
	And someone that everybody in that room respects and fears, that has money and clout.
	Who that is, I don't know.
	I don't know who that is, but it's got to be somebody that's respected, fear, with clout to do it, or else the other side's going to be sweeping for potentially 12 years.
	12 years.
	JD two terms, Trump one term.
	We could be looking at till 2038 or Republican White House in America.
	Yeah.
	So give you some validity to that.
	Yeah, of course.
	So this whole conversation started off with Vinnie's question of what's going to happen to the Democratic Party.
	How are they going to rebuild this?
	I've been thinking about this.
	I've been sort of sitting on this.
	It's not going to just be a little bit of change.
	It's not a good amount of change.
	It's going to take a radical amount of change.
	It makes me think of the story of a PBD 2003, 2004, where you said, I think it was when your dad had a heart attack.
	By the way, love you, Papa.
	Happy Thanksgiving.
	You said, I'm done.
	Don't call me to go to the club anymore.
	I'm not drinking.
	I'm reading.
	I'm not listening to the radio anymore.
	I'm not going on dates.
	You went 18 months without sex.
	Unbelievable.
	17 months.
	Okay, sorry about that.
	I tried to give you a little extra credit right there.
	No, no, because I remembered.
	PBD, okay?
	You offended?
	Good.
	And I just felt bad.
	Radical.
	I feel bad for the girl who got those 18 months.
	She settled in the hospital.
	But it took a radical amount of change.
	Think about this.
	The last time the Democrats were in this position, ready?
	You talked about 12 years.
	Think about what happened in 1980.
	Reagan shows up.
	It's Pat's favorite president ever, Jimmy Carter.
	Sweet.
	12 years Democrats control the country.
	Two terms of Reagan.
	He comes in in 1980.
	1984, he blows out Walter Mondale.
	I think it was 49 to 1.
	The only state they won was Tim Waltz's favorite state, Minnesota, Walter Mondale.
	Electoral College landslide, 525-13 blowout.
	12 years of Republicans.
	And then Bill Clinton shows up.
	And if not for Ross Pereau showing up, talking about the flat tax, then George W. Bush, H.W. Bush, he might have won that presidency.
	Who's the one person that George Bush Sr. will not talk about?
	He won't talk about Ross Pro.
	Bill Clinton shows up.
	Boom, balances the budget.
	But the Democratic Party is going to have to have a radical transformation.
	They're going to have to take a long look in the mirror.
	How do you lose the unions, bro?
	How do you lose the Teamsters?
	These guys are in bed with the Democrats forever.
	The Teamsters, the UAW, the unions, who did they endorse this year?
	Nobody.
	They're saying, no, we're not playing this game this year.
	Common sense, reasonable, and being reasonable, right?
	So enough with the racist, and not everything is misogynist.
	The DEI, the woke stuff.
	Brian Williams, you talked about that guy.
	Seems pretty reasonable.
	Seems pretty common sense.
	I would call that guy a JFK Democrat, maybe even a Clinton Democrat.
	A guy like that's looking at the modern Democratic Party and being like, what the hell is going on here?
	But there's going to have to be massive upheaval.
	Why?
	Because unlike 1992, the universities are woker than ever.
	The social media companies are woker than ever.
	The lamestream media woker than ever.
	Hollywood woker than ever.
	You see, speaking of Hollywood, so what Sharon Soenstead said about basically how Americans are just uneducated.
	Idiots out of touch.
	Give a shout out to Holland Oates.
	But the most out of touch there is what you talked about with Gavin Newsome, just to kind of put a ribbon on this thing.
	How when Biden didn't invite Elon Musk to the White House for the EV summit, hello?
	That's like, hey, guys, we're going to have all the best players in all of sports show up today.
	You don't invite Patrick Mahomes.
	You don't invite Messi.
	You don't invite Luca.
	You don't invite LeBron.
	Oh, Tani, sorry, your invite got sent to Japan.
	My bad.
	Aaron Judge, how do you leave Elon Musk out of anything that has to do with it?
	It's double dumb.
	But by the way, you know, you do it intentionally.
	You have a point.
	A Ross Parole type of person has to come out.
	A Ross Parole.
	But my concern is they've lost them all.
	Well, they got Mark Cuban.
	They've lost, and Mark Cuban's not the guy.
	He showed he's not comments.
	What's the word?
	There's a word that he's missing something.
	The it?
	There's a word.
	It's not the it.
	He has the it.
	He's missing something.
	He's missing the common sense.
	No, he's missing the non-lesbian glasses.
	No, you know what it is.
	He's missing the energy you give of people liking you.
	I just don't think he's.
	He's the charisma.
	No, he, he's a likability factor.
	You know what he is?
	He wants to he wants to talk to you and make you feel dumb.
	And Ted Cruz does that.
	He's like the, he's got a little bit of Ted Cruz on the left.
	Oh, you're talking about this community?
	Yeah, he's a little bit of that community.
	He's on the gravitas.
	He thinks he's a gravitas, Vinny.
	Wow.
	He just really thinks he's better than you and smarter than you.
	And there's nothing wrong.
	Like Michael believed that.
	You know, Elon believes that.
	Trump definitely believes that.
	But their way of believing that matches their personality, that it comes across still in a way that's attractive.
	I think it's something he can never do anything about.
	It says DNA personality.
	It's not attractive.
	It's not attractive.
	Can I tell you what it is?
	What's that?
	Value attainment.
	If we were just value, I don't think we would have the same gravitas, Vinny.
	Thank you.
	Okay.
	In the ecosystem right here.
	And you know this as a comedian, Tom, you're one of the funniest guys ever.
	We get it.
	The power of making somebody laugh, the power of communicating somebody like, this guy's pretty cool.
	You ever see somebody, they're smart, they're on point, they're sharp, but they don't got the vibe, they don't got the charisma.
	You just don't resonate with them.
	Making somebody laugh.
	What do they call it?
	They call it the Riz.
	They call it the Riz, baby.
	You call the Riz.
	Listen, man.
	I've been hitting the Riz.
	My kids are teaching me all these weird words.
	You know who got the Riz?
	Who?
	Dilly Boy.
	Dilly Boy.
	And you know who's developing the Riz?
	He is as well.
	Tico.
	He's a dangerous person.
	But you know what I'm saying?
	Tico didn't have the Riz a couple years ago.
	Listen, I will tell you the dynamic of speaking to an audience where all of it is there, where people, a part of it is we're just regular people.
	A part of it is moral authority.
	A part of it is humor.
	A part of it is curiosity.
	A part of it is certain values and principles that you're not willing to compromise.
	And the audience says, well, I relate to that.
	Great.
	You know, we ran the poll.
	What percentage of you guys think the word deer is offensive?
	9% said it's offensive.
	Really, 9% said it's offensive.
	But you know what?
	What's impressive?
	To the 9%.
	Sorry, dear.
	Dear 9%.
	By the way, I'm being honest with you guys.
	Sincerely, the fact that you took time away on a Thursday Thanksgiving morning to be with us still says you support the fact that we're having a conversation.
	And I love you for it.
	Sincerely.
	I got a message.
	Somebody sent me a message that says, you know, I cannot believe that was the shittiest.
	Said, listen, don't you love the fact that you can message me on Manect and pay for it, and I have to respond back, and it allows you to talk shit to me directly.
	Don't you love that that exists for you on Manex?
	Yes, we started laughing, having a good time exchange this morning, going back in front of Bovinia.
	I think you want to say something.
	Yeah, so, and this is going into that wedge that you were talking about with Trump and then Elon.
	And I know this is a story that you have, Pat.
	The Mark Zuckerberg going to Mar-a-Lago yesterday.
	I saw something and then I saw a clip where he's talking, Tom, and Elon's like, somebody's like, hey, you think you could fight him?
	Elon, I have never seen it.
	He's like, I will beat his ass any day, anytime, whenever you want.
	So I think him going there, and I guess it was, who's it Jim Miller?
	Is it the new guy that's the ball guy?
	Stephen Miller is coming in and he's recognizing Trump is an agent of change and prosperity and that Zuck wants to be a part of it.
	And so I kind of feel like, how do you think Elon's taking that where this guy's coming in there to talk about?
	Well, let's read this.
	Okay, let's read this.
	Zuckerberg dines with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and marking a notable meeting between a Facebook founder and a former president who had been banned from the platform after January 6, 2020, when Capital Attack, a meta spokesperson confirmed Zuckerberg was invited to discuss the incoming administration with Trump's deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, stating Zuckerberg wants to support the National Renault Americas under Trump's leadership.
	Zuckerberg has shifted toward a more passive, positive stance on Trump, praising his handling of an assassination attempt as bad as earlier this year and accusing Biden administration of pressuring the Facebook to censor.
	By the way, this is AP News to censor COVID-19 content.
	Despite this, Trump recently mocked Zuckerberg on Truth Social, warning Zuckerbucks, be careful while referencing election fraud claims.
	Okay, so this is a couple things here to be thinking about.
	On one end, and Tom, I'm going to come to you right after this.
	On one, to me, is Zuck is, we're forgetting that.
	How old was Zuck when he started Facebook, Rob?
	He was like 21 from college.
	So, so how old was Zuck when he started?
	I'm actually curious.
	Was he 19 or 20?
	I'm trying to see the exact over 19.
	So he was 19 years old when he started Meta.
	Just 40.
	So can you Google who are Zuckerberg's parents?
	Who are Zuckerberg's parents?
	Like, what do they do?
	I'm curious.
	Is there anything about his parents?
	So, Edward Zuckerberg, can you zoom him?
	Is there anything to find out who he is?
	Dentist, father.
	Okay, how about his mother?
	Let's see what his mother zoom in, psychiatrist, Karen.
	Okay, exactly.
	And look at that picture right there: mom, dad, and himself in the middle, right?
	That looks like a liberal family, right?
	Doing all the right things, going to Harvard.
	It looks like a family hardworking, but at the same time, academia, you know, you got to go to school.
	You got to go to the right school, all that stuff.
	And we automatically expect this guy in his 20s to already know what's right and what's wrong.
	And then he happens to become a billionaire very early.
	Then this thing grows into the biggest community worldwide.
	How many users does Facebook have, Rob?
	I think it's like 2.2 billion.
	I may be off by a few hundred million, but it's a lot of people.
	90%.
	Those are grandmas.
	How many?
	3 billion users on Facebook.
	Active monthly users.
	Damn.
	That's active.
	Okay.
	68.85 of the total monthly users log in on their mobile device monthly.
	That's a pretty impressive number.
	But does that count Instagram, WhatsApp, all that stuff?
	Just everything just Facebook.
	So then you go look at Instagram.
	Then you go look up.
	He owns WhatsApp.
	He owns all these companies.
	And what is his net worth today, Rob?
	If you type in his Mark Zuckerberg network, 110 billion of them gets more than that.
	Maybe more than that.
	He could be 200.
	Wow.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	But where was it two years ago?
	Oh, no, you're half of that.
	Yeah, no, no.
	Less than half of that.
	So $198 billion.
	This guy's crushing that.
	No, of course he is.
	He's a top five guy right now.
	So he's in there.
	He's like, hey, listen, I understand there's all these other guys.
	Just so you know, I'm the youngest guy worth $200 billion in the world.
	Bezos in his 50s.
	Musk is in his 50s.
	Gates is in his 60s, 70s.
	Buffett's in his 80s.
	So he's like, guys, I can also change.
	Larry's in his 70s.
	Larry's in his 70s.
	So he starts hanging out with jiu-jitsu guys, UFC guys.
	You know, he changes.
	He starts looking at what's going on.
	And he's, by the way, one of the best things happens when your parents get a divorce, you learn about both families a lot when you're going through a divorce.
	Think about when you're the CEO, the owner of the biggest social media site worldwide, and both the left and the right are calling you, asking favors and trying to run campaigns.
	You know what you'll learn?
	You'll learn both of them, how they approach you.
	Which one approaches you and trying to negotiate with you?
	Which one approaches you with threats?
	You understand what happened right there?
	So imagine you are learning, dude, these guys on the left are threatening me.
	What is this all about?
	If I don't do this, we're going to do this.
	The other side is just trying to convince me.
	So one is trying to sell me.
	The other one's trying to threaten me.
	I'm not part of the threatening community.
	I build a freaking, I've done more in my life than any one of you guys has done combined.
	You 2,000 politicians combined don't have my net worth.
	What do you think?
	I brought a lot of value to the world here myself at a young age.
	So now he's evolving.
	I think Zuck right now, as much slack as everybody's giving him.
	I think Zuck at 50 years old, maybe even sooner, Zuck's going to be a player.
	And when I tell you he's going to be a player, I think he's going to be a player.
	Unfortunately, right now, he's getting criticized.
	They showed a picture of Elon.
	And have you seen that picture where Elon and Trump, they're having the lunch, the McDonald Burgers on the plane, and then Zuckerberg's outside the window.
	Have you guys seen that picture or no?
	Can you find that?
	Is there a picture with Zuckerberg?
	If you keep looking through them, you'll find it.
	He's outside the window.
	He's trying to look in.
	He's trying to look in.
	It's actually a really, really phenomenal image to show that he's an outsider that wants to be on the inside.
	Oh, you should zoom those in to see if they're in there, the top one.
	Oh, so you see that window right there?
	Yeah, they put us in there.
	The meme put Zuckerberg's big picture out there like, hey, I'd love to be on the inside.
	I understand that.
	And it's going to hurt a little bit.
	I get it.
	Because Elon Musk went all in.
	And there's a risk when he went all in.
	And he deserves everything he's getting.
	Everything he's getting.
	But Zuck made the right move when he wrote that letter to Jim Jordan.
	Zuck made the right move when he called out Biden.
	Zuck made the right move when he said that was a badass move by the president.
	And Zuck is himself kind of going through the evolution of recreating himself.
	And I'm okay with that.
	And by the way, on the flip side, you know what I love about Elon?
	I also love that Elon is staying paranoid.
	If Elon and Trump are speaking privately, you know what Elon's probably telling Trump?
	Hey, don't trust him too early.
	Yep.
	Let's not trust him too early.
	Let's not trust him too early.
	Let's not trust them too early.
	I'm convinced that is taking place.
	Go ahead, Tom.
	Well, I follow the logic and I agree with you on much of that.
	But I also think that Zuck is being led at gunpoint and it's guns that he's loaded over the course of Facebook.
	There are five actions that all are incredibly threatening to Meta in front of the federal government right now.
	One, the COVID censorship and the censorship of right-wing media.
	Hearings are going to come up and there's oversight committees, things that they're.
	And down the street, Google is being broken up.
	Then there's the FCC, Section 230.
	That is not going away.
	It's coming back.
	And there will be hearings on that in the spring on Section 230, Pat.
	And guess who's going to be back in front of Congress?
	Mark Zuckerberg.
	The FTC on the online ads and the monopoly that Facebook has.
	They are hearings coming, and they've already told last week.
	Google was called, maybe we'll just spin Chrome off and do something else.
	It's the largest data gatherer that they have, the Chrome browser.
	And they're like, holy crap.
	That's number three.
	Number four, there are hearings that are going to go on on young girls and the addiction and hurting themselves.
	And should there be limits on young girls?
	And there's already state attorney generals that are out there that are putting that.
	Number four.
	Number five: data use.
	When do you collect data and how do you store it?
	And what and does the user know about that?
	Hearings are coming up next summer on that.
	Those five reasons could take five dinners to talk about.
	And I think Musk, you know, knows it.
	He understands it.
	He sees it.
	But Zuckerberg, I think Musk knows exactly why Zuckerberg would go in there.
	Zuckerberg needs to, in addition to that letter, Jim Jordan, he needs to make nice with the new president and his head of the FTC, head of the FTC, FCC, the censorship hearings, the Consumer Protection Agency, and Data Use Protection Group.
	So there's a lot of reasons for Zuck at gunpoint to go do this.
	We will find out if they both be true at the same time.
	Huh?
	Can both be true at the same time.
	Yes, they can be true at the same time.
	And I'm anxious to see what shows up.
	Is it true or is it lobbying because he has to?
	What was who was Elon Musk at 38 years old, 39 years old, 40 years old?
	Who was he?
	Rocket making politically, where was he?
	How did he feel about Trump when he was 38, 39, 40?
	He was leading the opposite side.
	I think he was a.
	He wasn't a militant.
	He was a liberal, but he wasn't militant.
	No, he was never militant.
	But was he?
	But was he active?
	But was he active in?
	Hold on.
	Was he active and literally taking down the president?
	Because let's not forget from the Zuckerbergs, from the 200 and God knows how many million, all right?
	The damage has already been done.
	I think he's there, my opinion.
	He's there to kiss the ring.
	I mean, let's not forget about all the stories, Tom.
	You nailed it.
	All the COVID, all the censorship, all the Hunter Biden, all that stuff.
	People like me, I want accountability.
	Okay.
	I've been saying that forever.
	We deserve it.
	From the Pelosis to the, you know, holding down the National Guard to Russia Collusion, all those people that were involved to Dr. Fauci, the people like that that have supported Trump from the beginning, have gotten lost friends, lost relationships.
	I've lost opportunities because I was in Hollywood.
	We want accountability, okay?
	Because I talked to Rob about this when we came in.
	If Kamala Harris went, one, do you think that they'd give him any grace?
	Any grace?
	Would they stop any of these things?
	Like when they're talking about, I know we talked about it.
	Trump, to be nice, should pardon Hunter Biden and part of Joe Biden.
	Who any grace?
	The other side.
	You think Kamala would have given Kamala?
	Would they have given Trump grace?
	At all.
	That's what I'm saying.
	So, Pat, what I'm saying is, we deserve, and I don't want retribution.
	I don't want them to, but we want a little bit of, okay, you messed up.
	There's your penalty.
	Hunter Biden, he belongs in prison.
	I know we're going to get there.
	That guy belongs in prison, and Joe Biden should have been impeached.
	We want some accountability.
	Dr. Mr. Fauci, we want that too.
	So a Zuckerberg, and you're right, Pat, it could kind of go both ways.
	But if for what he did, that letter to me is just going, hey, let me just, I'm sorry.
	They were telling me the White House is telling me when he wrote the letter.
	When he wrote the letter, if you remember when we talked about on the podcast, Rob, if you can remember when he wrote the letter, just find the dates.
	It's dear honorable Chairman Jordan.
	That's what the letter is, right?
	Dear, did he say dear?
	I actually think he said dear, which is, can you go to the letter?
	Is that the date?
	Can you just click on the images?
	Can you go on the images?
	Let's see how he opens it up.
	Did he say dear, Pat?
	Dear Congressman?
	Your honorable honorable Jim Jordan.
	Yeah.
	So when he wrote this letter, what's the date on it?
	Steve?
	It says the date on this August 26th.
	August 26th, July 13th.
	That is six weeks after Trump got assassination attempted, right?
	Okay.
	So when we responded to this, I said this is Zuck's way of saying he thinks Trump's winning.
	If you remember how we reacted to this, that was my position that I took.
	Okay.
	But also at the same time, none of us knew.
	Let's face it, guys.
	On August 26th, everybody here wasn't Trump's winning.
	Let's not get it to be.
	It wasn't 100%.
	No, everybody here was like, you know, 5149.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	And remember, this was still the honeymoon stages of when did they announce Kamala?
	Can you, can you?
	July 21st?
	July 21st?
	Is that the date?
	Okay, or is that the Biden letter?
	Is that the Kamala letter?
	So let's find out what the exact date.
	I'm trying to get sequencing down with this.
	I just want to know when they announced Biden stepping down.
	21st.
	Okay.
	So July 21st.
	You got a spot on it.
	Okay.
	So when you look at that, exactly five weeks later, he writes the letter.
	Five weeks later, on every poll, she is still ahead.
	And they were like, she's going to win.
	She's going to this.
	She's going to that.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it was the anti-Biden bounce.
	She's our girl.
	Sure.
	Okay.
	So he wrote that letter.
	Do you know how risky of a letter that is to write?
	Let me explain to you how risky the letter that is to write.
	Let's say he writes that letter.
	There was another one or two attempts on Trump.
	Yeah.
	If one succeeds, Kamala wins.
	What happens to him for the next four years with the left?
	Do you know what they do to him on Facebook?
	Oh, they will destroy him and humiliate him and do everything they can to hurt him.
	It's better to write that letter after somebody wins because it's safer.
	The safer time to write the letter is after November 5th, the safer time.
	Okay?
	You understand what I'm saying?
	Of course.
	Okay.
	The risky time to write it is when?
	Five weeks after Kamala's announced and America's done with Biden after the debate with Trump, which was embarrassing, and the assassination attempt to realize that Trump can't, Biden cannot beat Trump.
	They bring Kamala and Young, fresh, all this stuff, right?
	He writes this letter.
	I'm convinced that he is going through the evolution himself.
	I'm convinced when they wrote that letter, I guarantee you, some people in his camp, on his board who are on the left, said, don't write this letter.
	Imagine you have a board.
	Where is he based at Silicon Valley?
	I don't know where Facebook is.
	I'm going to say somewhere in the Cupertino area.
	What percentage of his board do you think are left?
	I mean, 90.
	Can you type in meta board?
	Type in meta board of directors.
	Meta board of directors.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm going to say 100%.
	I'm telling you this.
	So if you zoom in a little bit, okay, let's go through who it is.
	All right.
	So go up.
	Let's see.
	Javier Olivan.
	Tom, do you know Javier or no?
	Zoom in a little bit to see what his background is and what he did.
	Prior to that, he was a product manager at Siemens Mobile, functional judge.
	Okay, let's see who the next guy is.
	Nick, president of global affairs, president of global affairs at Meta.
	What's his background prior to this?
	He was UK Parliament in 2005, European Commission, five years European Parliament, Liberal Democrat Party in 2007.
	He became the leader of the Liberal Democrat Party 2007.
	The deputy prime minister in the UK.
	So, okay, left, Susan Lee.
	You just saw Susan Lee.
	That's the lady that Tom was talking about who was involved in the political stuff.
	Isn't this the same lady?
	Linda Lindsey?
	Is it Susan Lindy?
	That's Lindy.
	Okay, go back.
	So she might be a cousin.
	So this is, where was she at?
	Finance and business, planning and treasury.
	She joined the company, vice president of finance.
	2000, she was an investment bank in Morgan Stanley.
	Next.
	The likelihood of 80% of these guys being liberal.
	Okay, Andrew went to Harvard.
	Chris Cox, I don't know what his background is, what they're doing.
	The point is, okay, Stanford, 80% of these guys are probably liberal.
	So now imagine you're going up there saying, guys, I want to send this letter up.
	What do you think they're telling him?
	Are you sure?
	Tom, what do you think the board is telling Zuck?
	So Zuck was trying to find, I just sent you two clips, Rob.
	And if you could find the one from Wired.
	So Wired, fair to say, Bible of Silicon Valley, you know, not bombastic.
	They carefully research stories, well-respected publication.
	Facebook had been dealing with the ire of the Democrats for a while.
	And I do not believe for a second that it was lost on Zuckerberg that in many ways he was a man without a country.
	Wired, here's how Facebook actually won Trump the presidency back 2016.
	People were pissed at him because they were trying to do all the Russian collusion stuff, but people thought Facebook didn't do enough that actually it helped Trump influence voters through Facebook and they were pissed off about it.
	And then go to the next clip, Rob.
	This is very interesting.
	There's the one that was right there.
	I just, that got those guys right there, politico.
	Angry Democrats pose rising risk for Facebook.
	So Zuckerberg has felt the heat from the Dems that felt that he didn't stand in line enough.
	And so I think his board would have looked at it and say, Mark, you know, the Dems have been upset with us for a while.
	I don't know if you want to write this down.
	Exactly.
	You validate my point even more, Tom, because here's what happens.
	So, Tom, let me explain.
	That's what I was doing.
	I know that I was giving you facts.
	No, and I love that.
	But the point I'm trying to make is I was thinking maybe you were going to take a different angle.
	No, no, no.
	My concern is this.
	Tom, we're in the room.
	You've been in a room where people disagree with me and I'm by.
	Tomorrow's going to win this thing.
	She's got to bounce.
	Why write the letter down?
	I was in a board meeting, guys.
	It was like, I'm going against everybody against me.
	I'm like, what the F are you guys talking about?
	And it was three hours extended into a longer meeting.
	Sometimes.
	Oh, the COVID policy discussion.
	Well, it was, that was one of them.
	Yes, for sure.
	That was one of them.
	That was the nastiest one.
	But for you to know your board, your investors are not going to support you writing that letter and you still write it and you post it.
	I don't know, man.
	You got to applaud that.
	You got to applaud that.
	And for me, I don't know what he's going through, a recreating of himself and rebuilding of himself.
	I'm actually curious to know what he ends up turning into.
	And by the way, now that common sense community, because to me it's common sense, it's not Republicans.
	They want to say Republican.
	To me, common sense.
	Puberty blockers are bad under 18.
	Common sense.
	You want to do it above 18?
	Look, I don't agree with it, but go ahead and do what you want to do with it, right?
	Common sense.
	LGBTQ being taught too early to school to kids.
	It's bad.
	Common sense.
	Not allowing Tesla to do what they want to do and targeting them and your state and driving business owners out is bad, right?
	Gas taxing people over and over and over and over again, driving, it's bad, right?
	These are bad.
	So common sense.
	Musk, common sense.
	Rogan, common sense.
	Zuck, as you age, more common sense.
	Trump, common sense.
	Tulsi, common sense.
	Bobby, common sense.
	Vivek, common sense.
	So this is the part where right now, you know, the positioning of what's happening, you now have Google and YouTube over here.
	You know, I don't know.
	I just think this is a, I'm glad Trump's team reached out.
	Stephen Miller, if he sees this, you guys are strategic moves you're making, very impressive.
	Zuck, freaking phenomenal for going out there and sitting down.
	And Musk, please stay paranoid because you need to hold everybody.
	Someone in the room needs to be the guy that's going to be like, yeah, I don't know yet.
	I don't know yet.
	That's okay.
	Someone needs to play that flag carrier role.
	Go ahead and give your thoughts and I'm going to move on to the next story.
	I think we just got to give Zuck a little credit for growing and evolving.
	I mean, you highlighted the fact that he started Facebook out of his dorm when he's 19 years old.
	He just turned 40.
	By the way, he's a father of three daughters.
	He's a girl dad.
	So for 20 years, this guy's been in the limelight, billionaire.
	Of course, he's going to grow.
	Of course, he's going to evolve.
	He's been in front of everybody his whole life, his whole adult life.
	So you talked about, you know, how Dylan's got the Riz, but Tico's developing the Riz.
	You know, the Riz does that.
	I would say that you think Zuck had Riz when he was 19, 20 years old.
	He started Facebook because he couldn't meet any girls.
	That was the whole premise of it.
	So you see these days, Zuck specifically, you know, now he's doing UFC.
	He's fighting.
	He's saying things like, when Trump got shot in the face and he got up, quote unquote, that was one of the most badass things I've ever seen.
	With actually with Emily Chang, Adrian's old flame.
	I'll tell you about that.
	But we're at model volleyball in South Beach this past year, right?
	You know, model volleyball.
	You showed up.
	Who walks by out of nowhere?
	Mark Zuckerberg.
	We're like, did Zuck just walk by?
	Yeah, that was Zuck.
	What is this guy doing in South Beach?
	He's growing.
	He's developing.
	You got to give him credit for that.
	By the way, I was right.
	Two years ago, Rob, I don't know if you had this.
	Facebook stock, when they changed their name to Plummet, you remember this, PBD?
	I know you were just a huge fan of the NFT world at that point, and they changed their name to Meta, and everyone's NFTs.
	Facebook stocks plummeted down to 92, 93.
	Two years ago, this guy's wealth basically was cut in half.
	I want to go to the next story, Adam.
	I want to know 6X.
	Yeah.
	574.
	Let's go.
	We got a few minutes to go into it.
	We got a few more stories to get into.
	Okay.
	All right.
	So while we're talking about this, we can go to fired CBS reporter reveals bosses blocked Elon Musk's interview.
	Okay.
	This is a New York Post story.
	Now, think about it.
	Your job is to land big interviews, to bring a lot of eyeballs to the company.
	So it's like Vinny texts me and says, hey, Pat, I got an interview with Musk for unusual suspects.
	What do you think we should do?
	Oh, hell no.
	Vinny says, I got an interview with Hillary Clinton.
	Vinny says, I got an interview with Dylan Mulvania.
	Okay.
	I'm going to be interviewing.
	Go do it, right?
	But what does CBS do?
	A very different thing.
	Rob, is she explaining in this clip on what happened when she wanted to interview?
	Go ahead.
	Go ahead and play this clip.
	I had conversations with some of the reporters connected to the Twitter files, and I was in my head thinking that there might be an opportunity to tell that story on CBS News.
	We had a number of topics under discussion.
	They didn't go as far as we had hoped.
	But at the end of the day, this opportunity to interview Elon Musk was developing.
	So I went to the CBS executives and I said, this is the opportunity that we have.
	He's saying, I want to do it live and on my platform.
	He's one of the most influential human beings on the planet.
	And the reaction from the executives was, well, we can't do it live.
	And I was like, what do you mean we can't do it live?
	It's like, well, we don't know what he's going to say.
	I was like, well, I'm thinking, isn't that the point of journalism?
	You don't know what the person's going to say?
	Well, you know, we have to, it has to be taped.
	We have to have the ability to edit it.
	It has to be on our platform.
	We have to control the platform.
	We talked at one point about whether we could do it sort of like a simulcast between the streaming network and maybe X, but everything just got shut down.
	It's one of the biggest interviews you could ever have.
	I felt so ashamed, frankly, that I never went back to Elon Musk and said, listen, they want to do it, but they've set all these conditions on it.
	I couldn't do that.
	This is someone whose DNA is free speech.
	And how do you tell someone who's committed to free speech that your network can only do it taped and only if they edit it and it can only be on their platform?
	That's it.
	So you can pause it right there.
	This, okay.
	I'll come to you first, Vinny, before I give my thoughts.
	Tell me, what do you think with this?
	This is of the few reports.
	They're actual journalists and actual, they're not political activists.
	How great.
	And you know who she is too?
	She's the one that, Rob, if I'm wrong, she warned us of the Black Swan event that should be coming sooner or later.
	And then, Pat, she gets into the fact that, you know, she has it.
	There's a clip that I sent you, Rob.
	She holds up, Pat, she holds up the Hunter Biden contents on a little drive in her hand and she goes, I had this.
	I had to, I wanted to run with it.
	And they said no, because we have to blah, And that's the problem.
	And that's when I go back to the accountability.
	All those people, including Hunter Biden.
	Can we play this really quick, Pat?
	Rob, you could go.
	Yeah, this is her talk.
	It's not that long, is it?
	We eventually broadcast a story about the Hunter Biden laptop after the midterm elections in 2022.
	We commissioned a forensic review.
	And look, she has it.
	Scumbag boys.
	Got a copy of the laptop data.
	All of it.
	I have it here still.
	I went to a lot of effort to get the cleanest copy of the laptop data, the same data that was provided to the FBI, because I didn't want to have any professional journalistic risk for CBS News.
	I wanted this thing to be totally locked down.
	When we did the story, we did it after the midterms.
	I argued against that because it was ready before the midterms.
	And my training is that you should always do the story when it's ready to go.
	You should not be dictated by the political cycle.
	Once we got the laptop story on the morning news, I felt that there was so much there that we could still do.
	For example, in the text messages, there's unfortunately the use of the N-word, the liberal use of the word.
	Liberal.
	And I thought this was with the ER.
	He's gone.
	I was told that it was not solid.
	Hunter's saying the N-word a bunch of times in emails.
	And then she was saying that there was emails from Joe Biden on that laptop.
	So that goes to my point of, I mean, I shout out for Catherine for being an actual journalist and reporter, but it's the accountability.
	And I think if we let these things go, they're going to keep doing them over and over and over and over again.
	That's my, that's, I want, I want somebody to get in trouble for something.
	You know what it is?
	It's more than trouble, Vinny.
	There's something more painful than being in trouble.
	You know what it is?
	Being bankrupt, going out of business.
	Yeah, for sure.
	That's what it is.
	Yeah.
	And look, whenever you go out to dinner, okay?
	If my kids wait or comes, you're with us all the time.
	They have to say, thank you.
	Can I please this?
	Every time.
	Every time, right?
	And Brooklyn says no, pow pow.
	No, pow pow.
	No timeout.
	No timeout first.
	But the point is, if you're not coming from a respectful, grateful place and you forget the reason why we have this is because of America and all this stuff, we're going to have a problem, right?
	We have to start off with gratitude.
	The moment you forget that the salary you're getting paid is because of people that are tuning in and they're walking away because you lost your journalistic integrity because it's all about pandering to an audience that you don't want to share the other side of the story and give your perspective.
	And you are so-called CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, all of these guys that are going this route.
	This is why yesterday TMZ did a story and John Shahidi, who is an absolute stud of a guy, is on TMZ talking about podcasts, what the podcast and game did for 2024 elections.
	I think TMZ wrote a story yesterday.
	If you go to a story about podcasters with Trump, and if you just tell it in Google, it should come up.
	But they're talking about what's going on with podcasters and how you type in TMZ podcast Trump.
	It should come up as a, right there.
	That's the one right there, Nelk Boys.
	Yeah.
	So I pitch Trump on podcasters.
	White House Press needs shake up.
	Nelk Boys manager, if you go a little bit lower, that's the guy right there at the top.
	If you want to give him, he's a stud of a guy, Persian guy, but him and his brother Sam are phenomenal.
	You obviously know how I feel about Sam.
	These guys are funny as hell.
	Go a little lower.
	So he's explaining, he joins TMZ.
	He's the guy that manages Nelk Boys and many others.
	I think Diovan is part of the program as well.
	Go a little bit lower.
	He's breaking down.
	If you can even play him, well, he breaks down the fact that podcasters are changing the game.
	The interviewers on podcasting, it's the direction it's going to now, right?
	That's today, Vinny.
	Go to 2728.
	So the credibility mainstream during 2024 election went where?
	Here.
	What happened to podcasters went this way?
	Do you realize if this goes like this now, what do you think is going to be in 27?
	Like this?
	Nope.
	No, it could go like this.
	Yeah, and they're gone.
	And if it goes like this, go ahead, Kamala, Newsom, Josh, whoever, go run your campaign and go through the safe podcast.
	Go ahead, do that and see what happens.
	Go ahead.
	Don't go talk to all these other guys.
	See how you do.
	Go ahead and see how you do.
	And the other guys, Vivek, everybody.
	I don't care.
	Your name is Pac-Man.
	I'll come to you.
	Your name is Jenk, I'll come to you.
	Your name is Joe.
	I'll come to you.
	He's not done Joned yet, although I think Vivek should go on Joe.
	And that'll be a very good podcast.
	I'd like to see that happen with Vivek being on Joe Rogan.
	I think it'd be phenomenal.
	I think Joe liked the podcast with Mark Andreessen.
	I think Joe and Vivek would be explosive.
	That'd be a great podcast to do.
	And it'd be interesting if it's anyways, but the point is 2027, 2028, it's game changer.
	So what are these guys going to do?
	They have to change or else you're done.
	You don't have a choice if you don't change.
	You're gone if you don't change.
	The market's not going to forgive you for you not making adjustment.
	That's worse than, hey, you know, they got to be held accountable.
	Market's going to hold them accountable, Tom.
	So imagine a person that has a back injury and you know you got to go in for the surgery, but you don't want everything the surgery entails.
	You're going to lose mobility in your back.
	They're going to fuse a couple vertebrae, but they tell you that's what you need to do.
	And you're going to be different going forward with mobility and your ability to work out, but that's what you have to do.
	But instead, you go home and you ice it, you put on icy hot patches, you limit your workouts and you start taking OxyContin.
	Pretty soon you're addicted to OxyContin, right?
	It's a legal painkiller.
	And you go to one doctor and says, hey, Dinny, I've given you two prescriptions in a row.
	You really got to be careful with this.
	I only gave it to you because to give you pain relief so that then you could get to your surgery.
	But if you tell me you're not doing your surgery, I can't give you more prescriptions because I'm going to make you into a Vinny doesn't take Oxy.
	Now, hang on.
	Watch, watch.
	I don't want the audience to send like Dixie doesn't.
	Vinny doesn't take Oxy, but go ahead.
	Yeah, those little blue triangles are not Oxy, definitely.
	Blue magic.
	Well, go ahead.
	Yeah.
	So why?
	What am I saying?
	Now watch this.
	Right now, cable as a technology is drifting down.
	Yes.
	Older people using cable.
	So they already have problems with audience just on access technology.
	They have problems.
	And they have problems on message.
	People don't want what they're serving, right?
	So what does CNN do?
	OxyContin.
	It's called everybody gets a 50% pay cut.
	Everybody gets a 50% pay cut.
	The viewership is down.
	We got problems at cable.
	Everybody gets a pay cut.
	That's OxyContin.
	MSNBC.
	Hey, Rachel, we need to, yeah, I understand.
	I'll take a $5 million pay cut.
	But she did last week.
	From 30 to 25.
	I don't know if it was exactly last week, but the news leaked and then it was confirmed.
	By the way, I don't know if it's a pay cut because she went back down to just doing it once a week.
	Exactly.
	They're overpaying Kirk.
	Yeah, $25 million.
	What does that?
	But let me get to it.
	It's all OxyCotton.
	They're trying to save money, but they're not going in for the back surgery that's going to change them.
	They're not going into change.
	You're not saying this takes surgery.
	We have to do this.
	We need a more moderated approach at CNN.
	They're just giving everybody a pay cut and hoping that the cable shift doesn't happen.
	Can I ask you?
	Because they're not changing a damn thing.
	Are you indirectly telling Vinny and I that we should go for the back surgery?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Because you know what's happening.
	Well, if you're saying that, Tom, I mean, it's like public information.
	I don't want the I'm saying that the liberal think tank and the bubble that is liberal thought in this country and the mainstream media cannot look in the mirror and say, you know what?
	We effed up.
	And guess what, guys?
	We need more mainstream coverage.
	We need more voices.
	I'm not putting those bastards on this network.
	That's what they're thinking.
	I'm telling you.
	And they're dying.
	I'm telling you, Vinny, I'm telling you, Vinny, the market never lies.
	You can't fool the market for too long.
	Look, when we started like this, this game that we're in right now with what we're doing, right?
	When yesterday guy comes in, we're talking about potentially doing something with soccer locally and for Laudado.
	A lot of people have interest, kids, soccer.
	Hey, Pat, can we start a school, an academy?
	You know, we want some of our kids to come and spend time with you guys.
	I want to.
	We're going to maybe do something, first test for a parent or their parents to come with us with their child and spend a day and a half with us.
	Like imagine, spouse, parent has to be there and then you can bring your child with you.
	You have to be present together because we're going to talk to the parents and we're going to talk to the kids.
	You know, who knows what we do down there?
	It's one of the biggest things that people are asking about parents and kids to get involved and come to our new campus.
	You're in a meeting yesterday, right?
	When we're doing this late at night last night.
	And I said to these guys, smart guys.
	Very smart guys.
	What if we do this?
	And what if we do that?
	And what if we build this?
	I said, listen, here's how this thing works.
	I said, what you're telling me is an academy here.
	That's step number eight.
	What is step number one?
	Test to see if there's a market for it.
	PBD podcast.
	Okay.
	We started.
	At first, what was it called?
	What's it called?
	Unusual Suspects at first?
	It was called Unusual Suspects because we own the domain, unusualsuspects.com.
	And we did 10 episodes called Unusual Suspects.
	And then we switched to PBD show.
	David podcast.
	Something, something.
	And then we went PBD show.
	I don't know what.
	It was like three million people.
	We changed the name like five times.
	I don't know what it was.
	You may be expecting it.
	2020 in Dallas.
	So anyways, eventually the unusual suspects.
	Yeah.
	So by the way, we've had such interesting moments.
	But going back to it, I said, I don't know if this is going to do anything.
	I have no idea what it's going to do.
	Right.
	And then you see the picture, the image, Rob.
	If you have that that says the episode is in Adam, Adam, you look like you voted for Hillary and Joe Biden right there.
	Look at that photo, Pat.
	You look like you voted for everybody right there.
	So are you heavier, Adam?
	You look at this on the salts.
	Something's on the sales.
	And all of a sudden, we're like, let's see what this does.
	At that point, Vietnam has only got a few million subscribers, 3 million subscribers, but I want to talk politics.
	But it's risky.
	So we tested it.
	What does the market say four years ago?
	We love it.
	We want it.
	Market says we love it.
	Okay.
	We love it.
	By the way, that's Batman in the back and the old Norway guy, Kai, who's a great book recommender.
	So, anyways, Tom, this is our first appearance back, 45.
	We do this and then we test.
	What does the market say?
	We want more.
	And it grows.
	Okay.
	But let me tell you, you can also put up a video and put up an episode that you're ecstatic about and you're like, this thing's going to blow up.
	And the market says, nah, this sucked.
	We don't like it.
	Right.
	Because sometimes when you have victory after victory after victory, you're like, oh my God, we're this.
	And then you feel like you walk on water and the market's going to be like, what was this all about?
	Okay, relax.
	Go back to creating good content.
	You got a little bit lazy, right?
	That's what happened to CBS, ABC, NBC, and all these other guys.
	This is a permanent thing.
	Market never lies, and it's a publicly humiliating loss that they're going through.
	If they don't adjust, this continues.
	Let me go to a story because Adam had a lot of insight on this next story from personal experience that he wants to share with everybody else.
	So ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt warns the perfect AI girlfriends could worsen loneliness for young people.
	Oh, no.
	Rob, if you got this clip, I think it's very important.
	Play this clip, and then Adam, I'm going to come to you.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	There's lots of evidence that there's now a problem with young men.
	In many cases, the path to success for young men has been, shall we say, been made more difficult because they're not as educated as the women are now.
	Remember, there are more women in college than men, and many of the traditional paths are no longer as available.
	And so they turn to the online world for enjoyment and sustenance, but also because of the social media algorithms, they find like-minded people who ultimately radicalize them, either in a horrific way like terrorism or in the kind of way that you're describing, where they're just maladjusted.
	This is a good example of an unexpected problem of existing technology.
	So now imagine that the AI girlfriend or boyfriend, let's use AI girlfriend as an example, is perfect, perfect visually, perfect emotionally.
	And the AI girlfriend in this case captures your mind as a man to the point where she or whatever it is takes over the way you're thinking.
	You're obsessed with her.
	That kind of obsession is possible, especially for people who are not fully formed.
	Parents are going to have to be more involved for all the obvious reasons.
	But at the end of the day, parents can only control what their sons and daughters are doing within reason.
	We've ended up, again, using teenagers as an example.
	We have all sorts of rules about age of maturity, 16, 18, what have you, 21 in some cases.
	And yet you put a 12 or 13 year old in front of one of these things and they have access to every evil as well as every good in the world and they're not ready to take it.
	So I think the general question of are you mature enough to handle it, sort of the general version of your AI girlfriend example, is unresolved.
	Adam.
	I mean, this is going to be the conversation of our times of what the hell is going on with young men.
	You know, there's a famous phrase out there in the man of spirits, chase excellence or pursue excellence.
	I'm sorry to interrupt you.
	Let me just set you.
	I'm going to come back to you because this is the part that he didn't say that I want to read, which makes the story deeper.
	And then I want to get your commentary.
	So Schmidt referenced grown risks, citing a Florida lawsuit where a 14-year-old boy, Sewell Setzer III, committed suicide after an AI chatbot girlfriend sent obsessive messages and told him to come home.
	Schmidt stressed teenagers are not ready to handle complex AI powered technology, adding that younger users are exposed to every evil as well as every good in the world.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, I didn't even hear about that part.
	So that makes this story even more tougher to digest.
	As I was saying, there's a famous phrase out there that's young men should chase excellence or pursue excellence, not women.
	Because as a man, it takes time to become that dude.
	We've had these conversations before.
	Now, what I would tell a young man who's obsessed with a real girl, like, oh my God, this guy, I'd be like, dude, relax.
	It's not your time.
	Now young men are becoming assessed with women that don't even exist.
	These are AI completely made-believe chatbots.
	And this young man took his own life because of the comments.
	Yes.
	Absolute comment by an AI girlfriend.
	They don't even exist.
	So look, I've worked in the nightlife world before.
	If a group of 21-year-old girls show up, 24-year-old girls show up, let them in.
	Let's go.
	All good.
	No problem.
	If a group of 21-year-old boys show up, they better be buying a table or know somebody in the inside or they're getting turned away.
	Nobody wants them here.
	They're kryptonite to a club.
	So that feeling, I remember the feeling that I went with my boys, my college buddies.
	What's up, man?
	We're going to go out in South Beach.
	We have no money.
	We're in college.
	We show up.
	The door guy, French dude, douchebag.
	He's like, what do you want here?
	I was like, yeah, we're going to go into like, who you with?
	I was like, yeah, just my friends.
	You buying a table, $2,000.
	I'm like, nah, we got no money.
	He's like, get the fuck out the field.
	That's how young men are made to feel.
	But now you show up, you're 40 years old.
	They're like, oh, right this way.
	Come on in.
	Oh, you're with your friends.
	You're with your crew because you're a man of status.
	You've established.
	What's the point with this?
	So the point is this.
	Young men are going to take time to become the person that they need to become.
	When you're 16, 18, and you're obsessed with trying to get women, you're thinking, oh my God, it's the end of the world.
	Mary doesn't like me.
	Your time is going to come.
	But it's going to take 5, 10, 15 years.
	Even Mark Zuckerberg right now is 40 years old, finally developing Riz.
	That's what it comes down to.
	But, you know, this conversation, Eric Schmidt knows a little bit about what's going on in the online world.
	He was the CEO of Google.
	The conversation he had with Scott Scott Galloway.
	He was a former.
	Social media has ruined dating for young men.
	Dating apps ruined dating for young men because they have no credibility.
	They have no social score.
	They have no status.
	And then they also hear things, juxtaposed things like the future is female.
	Who runs the world?
	Girls, all this types of thing.
	Oh, if you're masculine, you have toxic masculinity.
	All these things are being thrown in young men's faces.
	And then on top of that, 40 years ago, it was 60% of men went to college, 40% women.
	These days, it's the exact opposite.
	So everything is being the patriarchy, men, toxic masculinity.
	It's not okay to be a man.
	What I would suggest is this.
	Young men need to play the long game and they need to understand that it's going to take time.
	Last thing, if you're a parent out there, get your nerdy ass kid off the video games.
	They need to get out there and interact with the real world or this, unfortunately, this story is going to become a little bit more pervasive.
	Tom, I'm going to come to you as a parent.
	Well, as a parent, I got boys and girls.
	You got girls.
	As a parent, how do you process this?
	Well, first of all, I was waiting for Eric Schmidt to say, as happens on Facebook, he didn't add that.
	And because he's former CEO of Google, from down the street, he could have thrown some shade right there with those three little words, as on Facebook.
	And so I get to that as a parent.
	have to pull your kids back from the digital fake into the physical real.
	And the physical real is talking eye to eye, looking people in the eye, talking to people in your study group.
	I talked to Bailey about this and I've talked to Brooke about this.
	It's like, hey, all the social media online is fake affirmation.
	It's fake.
	It's not real.
	Your real engagement is with your teammates on your swim team, your teammates on your golf team, teammates working on your book.
	And you're going to find people that have things going on.
	You'll be able to look them in the eye and you'll be able to engage with them.
	And I have been putting digital guardrails around my daughters for a long time.
	And I think now they see it playing out because they see friends at school where it is on the other edge.
	And as a parent, if you're not involved and you're not focused, you're in trouble.
	And you know where it starts, parents?
	It starts with your patience because you're losing patience and you're stressed because your kids crying and doing the things at five years old.
	So you give them a mini game to play.
	You're giving them a pacifier.
	And maybe they do need a little distraction there, but you better manage it because that big pacifier when they're 12, 13 years old is social media and it's toxic and deadly.
	By the way, if I can advise anybody that's watching this here, one of the things that I think a lot of time when people think about Tom, they think about, oh, how can I raise money?
	How can I have business, all this?
	BizDoc, BizDoc, BizDoc.
	Why don't you and your wife manect Tom and ask questions about parenting?
	This is one of the conversations we have all the time.
	We, Tom and I, and our family, we made certain new decisions a few months ago.
	I would say six months ago, collectively together.
	We read a book.
	We're open to ideas that are good.
	Yeah, we are on the same wavelength when it comes down to raising kids, where if Tom takes my Tico or Dylan or whatever, they go together for three, four days.
	I'm not even thinking about what they're doing.
	They're in good hands, right?
	Because I know our values and principles are the same.
	I had this girl here the other day, Layla Micklewaite.
	Rob, did I say your name correctly?
	Correct.
	Phenomenal.
	I had such a good time talking to her.
	She's the one that got the 2.33 million signatures to petition to shut down pornhub.com because of the amount of porn that they had under age, under, you know, out of 56 million videos that they had on pornhub.com, a story that came up, that's her, by the way, Layla Mickelwaite, phenomenal lady.
	And if you can pull up that New York Times story, the other New York Times story that we talked about, by the way, very, very weird New York Times story, a child of Pornhub.
	This is the children of Pornhub telling stories of how these kids end up in Pornhub.
	One mother, Rob, do you have the intro for the interview tomorrow?
	Maybe we can't even show the intro.
	You have the intro.
	They send it to you.
	It's on our text.
	I got it.
	If you can pull it up, the intro, Vinny, is disturbing.
	One of the top things that we discussed, her and I, together, is the fear parents have to have serious conversations with their kids.
	And I brought up a couple things with her.
	One of the things is, you know, about a year ago, I don't know if you guys remember, we talked about this.
	Maybe we talked about one of my kids was a little bit drifting.
	And I had a conversation with him one morning and I pulled him aside.
	Maybe you'll remember this.
	I don't want to name kids, so don't drop any names and all this other stuff.
	I'm just saying one of my kids.
	And I said, hey, I'm getting the feeling you're drifting a little bit.
	And we sat down and we had a one-hour meeting together.
	And by the way, when you want to have serious conversations with your kids, if you're intentional, they're going to give you 100% attention.
	This guy's looking at me fully.
	And what is drifting me?
	Humberto, if you can send a video to Rob, it's not going to be here, Rob.
	It's in a text.
	We have it.
	It's an intro that was sent to approve.
	Humberto can send it to you.
	So I said, you're drifting.
	He says, what's drifting?
	So I said, let me show you this clip from the book, what is the book?
	What is the book?
	What is the book?
	A drifting book by that lady.
	Oh, my God.
	What is this book called?
	First time I read this book, I couldn't put it down.
	Book on drifting.
	It's a book that's linked to Napoleon Hill, who wrote it many, many years ago.
	And she explains this book.
	Somebody, can you please just text me if you're watching this?
	I know somebody's watching the same pat.
	How'd you forget this book?
	Do you know what book it is?
	I tell him, I want you outwitting the devil.
	That's the one.
	Outwitting the devil.
	And I had him read this book and I had him read an excerpt from this book.
	Okay.
	And in the book, it explains, you want to destroy your life?
	You have to be aware when you're drifting.
	And what is drifting?
	Drifting is just like when you're life, you're just kind of like drifting.
	Like a car going off the road.
	You slowly start going.
	You die, right?
	So I said, I'm getting the feeling life is just regular for you and you're not investing in yourself in certain things that you need to be.
	You know what's one of the things that really changes the idea?
	You know how you go up to him.
	You're like, hey, something's happened with you?
	We put him in kickboxing and he goes five days a week.
	He'd go every day if the trainers were available for him.
	Let me tell you what's happened to this kid's confident.
	When you have boys, folks, you have to find a way to develop their confidence in a different way than girls.
	My opinion.
	It's a different way of developing confidence with boys than girls.
	Both of them are going to be needed.
	And if you choose to have more than one kid, you have to still find a way to build up their identities.
	They all deserve the identity to be built.
	Even though when you're like, sometimes you don't have time or whatever that's going on, you have to find a way to do it.
	Find a way to get your kids to be involved in something that they're improving in that gives them confidence.
	You got to find a way to do that.
	You know, when you're all of a sudden being complimented for the work that you're doing, it's a confidence booster.
	The other day, we publicly promoted Rob.
	We think Rob's done such a phenomenal job here that we publicly promoted him.
	And by the way, Rob is a guy that is a behind the screen guy sometimes, but unusual.
	He's not.
	Rob's a talent.
	Rob's a comedian.
	Rob's phenomenal at what he does as well.
	And we love Rob.
	And we publicly recognize Rob.
	And for the last Rob, three and a half years, when I'm giving you feedback, I'm like, hey, something's happened with you.
	You're developing yourself.
	You're recreating yourself.
	And it's highlighting because very different than what it was three and a half years ago.
	You were like, I don't know what's going on here.
	You're a different human being today than you were three and a half years ago.
	And the more I learn about this guy, the more I love this guy.
	I like what he's doing to improve himself as a father, as a husband, as a man.
	You should see how he's with his kids.
	He's like, he's on the call and boom.
	Let me step.
	I got to do this.
	Hey, with his wife, it's okay.
	We're going to do this.
	This is good.
	Like, these are things that it matters.
	Stuff that matters in life.
	Kids matter.
	Family matters.
	Friends matter.
	Like you pour into it a little bit.
	Well, we got to pay attention.
	But sometimes we as parents are drifting.
	I got my promotion.
	I got to.
	I got to my diss.
	Dude, pump the brakes.
	Go have a conversation with your kid.
	Walk with them for an hour.
	How you doing?
	What's happening?
	Let me tell you what I'm thinking about you.
	Here's how I envision you being one day, kid.
	I think one day you can be dot dot.
	Really, daddy?
	Really, mommy?
	Yes.
	But I also think I'm noticing some things you're not paying attention to.
	You eat too much sweets.
	You sleeping too much.
	You're not exercising.
	You're not moving your body.
	You're addicted to video games.
	How about we get addicted to your dreams?
	How about you have these types of conversations with them?
	This is the clip with Layla Micklewaite.
	This comes out tomorrow, by the way.
	It's a disturbing.
	Vinny, just watch this.
	You'll feel how disturbing it is in the first 20 seconds.
	And you said out of 58 million viewers, 56 million videos that was on Pornhop, 91% of it they took down.
	What?
	Because of that New York Times article and because of this lady that got the 2.3 million petition.
	Wow.
	Watch this clip right here.
	Go ahead.
	From Broward County, Florida.
	She was missing for an entire year and she was finally found when her distraught mother was tipped off by a pornhub user that he recognized her daughter on the site.
	She was found in 58 videos on Pornhub.
	So this is email from the CEO.
	Can we tell MasterCard that it just slipped through the cracks?
	They want to know what we do.
	They're communicating amongst each other as employees.
	They're saying, what should we do?
	She couldn't be older than 13 or 14.
	And the video was obvious.
	And they left it up.
	Under new ownership or old ownership?
	That was, this is the old ownership, but old ownership is the same VPs and executives that are there today, right?
	But there's not enforcement.
	Why are they not being held accountable?
	There's not enforcement.
	I don't get that, though.
	Who wouldn't enforce that law?
	It's kids.
	I want to address something that Solomon and his partner said on this show.
	I mean, you could play what he actually said.
	It's a complete lie.
	They exploit and they harvest the data of every single user that visits their site.
	They're currently being sued in a class action.
	And I think we will see full criminal prosecution of the owners of Pornhub.
	And I hope that we do.
	Okay.
	So this goes out tomorrow.
	Wow.
	You know how many kids have been missing, according to FBI?
	You know how many children are missing in America, according to FBI?
	Overall.
	First of all, 2022 records.
	Rob, don't look at the screen.
	Just look at how many children you think are missing.
	Tom, everybody, think number and then tell me.
	Children missing that are still missing.
	It's not a big number that you think it's a big number.
	250,000.
	What do you think the number is?
	That's an insane number.
	10,000.
	Okay, 10, Tom, what do you think is?
	I thought it was 30,000.
	Rob, can you pull up?
	You're about to be shocked.
	There's 359 missing children.
	Missing.
	359, 94 missing children.
	Every one of them counts.
	Reported to the National Crime Information Center.
	Reported to 22,000.
	By the way, you said 20,000?
	That's 22,000 more than it was in 2021.
	Bro, like, how missing?
	What are we not?
	Think about these parents that are missing.
	I mean, this is serious stuff here that we're talking about.
	So for me, parents, we need to be a little bit more involved.
	You got a nephew.
	You got a niece.
	You got to develop some of their identities to make sure you're having these tough conversations with them when it's necessary.
	But for me, when Eric Schmidt is telling this story, as much as we have fun here, guys, and we joke around, we do certain, you know, at the core of what we're doing, there's values and principles that matter that you got to stand up for.
	These are some of these conversations that we're having right now because I think sometimes parents, we all need a nudge, all of us do, to just kind of be reminded of it.
	Maybe use today on Thanksgiving to have a conversation with them.
	Maybe this is a great opportunity today.
	Maybe today, tomorrow, if you're not working, pull them aside.
	Go for a walk with them.
	Do it individually with each one of them.
	And take them for somewhere and sit down and say, I want to talk to you, son.
	I want to talk to you, baby.
	What's going on, pops?
	What's this?
	It's going to be a little bit weird if it's not regularly happening.
	And before you do, make a few notes of what your outcome of this meeting with them is.
	It's going to be different for your daughter than your son, than your oldest, than your youngest.
	But the fact that you have their conversation with them one-on-one and you give them that one-on-one attention, I can't tell you what it does to them.
	You remember when your parents did it to you.
	We remember when they did it that one time.
	I was six, seven years old.
	My mom would tell me, you're going to be an incredible engineer one day.
	Engineer?
	Engineer?
	You're going to be who the hell?
	Like, I'm seven years old.
	I'm remembering that.
	Have that conversation with them.
	My dad would say, son, the reason why you're going to be a leader one day is because you're not afraid of the truth.
	One time my dad and I went to this, what do you call it, spa in Iran that they had pool and all this other stuff that we would go there and they would make this drink, Persian drink that I freaking love.
	It's not duk.
	It's like water with these, my dad knows what it is, this fruit stuff that they put in.
	It's just incredible with lemon and all this stuff.
	I love it.
	And we'd go there and a guy says, how old is your son?
	And my dad says, ah, they're a friend.
	He says, my son is 14 years old.
	I said, I'm not 14 years old.
	My dad's lying to you.
	I'm eight years old.
	And he says, Really?
	He says, Yeah, because this place is 12 and up.
	He says, Well, listen, since you're a father, I like the fact that you're honest.
	Come in.
	And he let me in.
	He says, The reason why you're going to be a leader one day is you're not afraid of the truth.
	You'll tell the truth.
	You get in trouble sometimes, but you'll tell the truth.
	That stays with you at eight years old.
	I'm 46.
	That's 38 years ago.
	We can do that for our kids, folks.
	You and I can do that for our kids.
	Use today as the opportunity this weekend to have that conversation.
	And do me a favor, share it with me.
	I want to hear about it.
	You have no idea how much I love hearing stories like this.
	I want to have that conversation.
	You can get a hold of us on Manekt or tweet and do whatever you want.
	But on Manek, we'll be able to respond back to these stories.
	All right, let's do one or two stories before we wrap up and finish this up.
	Can we have some fun?
	Is that okay if we have a little bit of fun?
	Are you guys okay if we have a little bit of fun?
	By the way, we got 42,000 crazy still here with us after 11 o'clock.
	You're still here with us.
	You guys are amazing.
	So why don't we have some fun?
	Okay.
	Every once in a while, I think it's fun to, you know, get some people, maybe get a little bit of a reaction and see what happens.
	You know, the girl earlier, her name is Abby Phillips, who doesn't want the phrase dear.
	How about we all collectively tweet at her and we say, dear Abby Phillips, Rob, if you can put the handle below in the chat, I want you to tweet at her, and I want thousands of us to do it.
	Oh, man.
	Tweet at her, dear Abby Phillips, Phillip, and then say, Happy Thanksgiving.
	God bless.
	Hashtag at the bottom, PBD Podcast.
	Okay.
	They're going to freak out.
	And this may even prompt these guys to react and say, I cannot believe you guys are disgusting or whatever.
	All we want to say is, dear Abby Phillips, listen, happy Thanksgiving, Abby.
	You know, congrats on being a CNN news night host, 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
	You may even take this as a promotional.
	Like, well, help me with promoting you.
	So, dear Abby, what that dear, her handle, Abby Phillips, which you found it.
	It's on Twitter.
	Yeah.
	Abby, Abby Phillip.
	And just say, happy Thanksgiving.
	God bless.
	Maybe put a couple turkeys in there.
	Okay.
	And then at the bottom, hashtag PBD Podcast.
	Let's see if in the next three minutes, five minutes, we can get this thing trending for her to get some love.
	And as she's enjoying herself today, maybe she's getting a bunch of love.
	Again, dear Abby, from us at PBD Podcast to you, we love watching your co-host or guest that's on with you, Scott Jennings.
	He's a superstar, and we're proud of his fight and the great work that he's doing.
	And Scott is probably the number one reason why we've been tuned on to you, turned on to you, because he does such a phenomenal job.
	And the common sense Americans love watching Scott Jennings.
	We think he's a superstar.
	And CNN, I hope you realize if you don't pay Scott Jennings what he's really worth, the market all over the place would be more than happy to pay Scott Jennings what he's really worth.
	And Abby, that's a shout out from us to you.
	That's this much time I'm going to give to you guys, but I wanted to make sure you got proper love, dear Abby Phillips.
	Phillip, happy Thanksgiving.
	God bless.
	Hashtag PBD Podcast.
	All right, let's go to a couple other stories while we're doing this.
	Let's see what happens next.
	We'll report back.
	We're just having some fun here, folks.
	We just want to speak happy Thanksgiving.
	What's wrong with this?
	Nothing.
	Nothing's wrong with that.
	You know, it's a lot of good stuff that we're doing here, contributing positively to society.
	All right, so let's go to this next story.
	Baker Mayfield, a little bit weird, football player, having a decent season, right?
	He's at Tampa, if I'm not mistaken.
	I think he's eight and three or maybe like seven or eight.
	No, I think they're basically 500.
	Are they?
	Can you pull out what their record is?
	He started off having a decent season.
	They were doing all right.
	He's having a great season.
	So they're maybe 500.
	Are they 500?
	I'm going to say 500.
	Maybe you're right.
	Maybe they are 500.
	I don't know.
	They're doing better than the Giants' butt.
	Oh, shoot.
	Okay, so they're five and six.
	All right, let me read this to you.
	My apologies, Baker.
	I was trying to give you a shout out because I actually would like to see you have a decent season here.
	So Baker Mayfield sues own father, claiming he stole $12 million.
	This is the quarterback of Tampa Bay filing a lawsuit against James Mayfield, alleging James' company, Canwood Capital, transferred $12 million from Mayfield and his wife without authorization from 2018 to 2021.
	Claims a settlement reached in January requiring his father to repay nearly the full amount has been breached with not even $1 repaid and no response to inquiries.
	The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Texas stated defendants had no intention of making plaintiff whole and have refused even to respond to plaintiff outreaches about those breaches.
	The first payment of $250,000 was due on September 30th, but was never received.
	Mayfield accuses his father's company of obscuring information, avoiding inquiries, and providing fictional explanation.
	Adam, what's going on with the story here?
	I mean, what a horrible situation to have your father take advantage of you for how much?
	$12 million?
	$12 million in three years.
	For those of you that don't know the story of Baker Mayfield, and by the way, I'm walking out in the streets these days.
	They go, hey, are you Baker Mayfield?
	I get it all the time.
	You look like you are.
	I get it all the time.
	Baker Mayfield.
	So respect to you, Baker.
	Here's a guy grows up in Texas, goes to high school.
	And I think he plays football at a school called Lake Travis in Austin, Texas.
	Doesn't get a scholarship.
	Walks on to Texas Techs, makes the team.
	Says, you know what?
	There he is right there.
	I don't know if you can see a better picture.
	Makes the team.
	Says, yeah, I don't really like it right here.
	Transfers over to Oklahoma.
	Spends a few years there.
	Boom.
	Few years later, wins the Heisman.
	Best player in the country.
	Boom.
	Oklahoma.
	NFL draft comes around.
	He doesn't get drafted first round.
	He doesn't get drafted top 10.
	Number one overall pick.
	My doppelganger over here, Baker Mayfield.
	Boom.
	Goes to the Cleveland Browns.
	Sorriest team in the NFL.
	Rookie year breaks the NFL touchdown record.
	Throws the most amount of touchdowns for a rookie in his first season.
	Takes the dog pound Cleveland Browns to the playoffs for the first time in what felt like 100 years.
	Everyone's loving Baker.
	Everyone's loving what he's doing in Cleveland.
	There he is, my little twin brother right there.
	Basically, that's in 2018.
	Ends their playoff drought.
	A couple of years going in and out of the league.
	Basically says Cleveland ain't it for me.
	Ends up in Carolina, one of the worst franchises these days.
	Spends half a season with the Rams.
	Boom.
	Next thing you know, Tom Brady retires.
	They end up picking him up.
	He ends up doing a great job.
	Ends up signing a $50 million a year contract, I believe.
	No, sorry.
	$50 million is what he's already earned.
	He signs a three-year $115 million contract.
	So here's this dude going around the league.
	There's a message here.
	You start off, not even a scholarship, walk on.
	A few years later, you're winning the Heisman, number one overall pick.
	You're basically taking Tom Brady's job, and now you're a top 10 quarterback in the league.
	During all this, you're going to have your fans.
	You're going to have your haters.
	Behind the scenes, your dad is just embezzling millions of dollars from you.
	Like, if you're an NFL quarterback, by the way, there's no other position in all of sports that is more important than the NFL quarterback.
	You have your doubters.
	You have your naysayers.
	You have your haters.
	Unbelievable.
	But you beat Vinny's team last week.
	You beat the New York Giants.
	So what did he do?
	He did one of these things to your boy Tommy DeVito.
	Hey, no, no, no.
	So why'd you do that?
	I've seen him do it.
	I just kind of decided to do it myself.
	I don't know.
	I was just kind of thinking.
	The reason I like this guy's story, other than the fact that he's ridiculously good looking.
	I mean, hello, come on.
	People hated on him.
	They doubted him.
	They said he wasn't going to do anything.
	He's made, what, $100 million almost in his career right now?
	From walk-on to Heisman winner to number one draft pick.
	Are you kidding me?
	And beyond all that, his father is embezzling money.
	Unbelievable.
	Horrible story, but someone like this is going to bounce back because he's a winner.
	I have a really quick, funny story.
	So I'm, and Rob, I have the, it's on Instagram, but I'll send it to Rob.
	So I'm working security because I mean, obviously I'm huge.
	I'm at the door.
	He comes in.
	This is in North Hollywood.
	I don't even say the place.
	He's in there.
	He's in there with his fiancée.
	This is right.
	He's about to get drafted.
	He's going through that.
	It's 2017, baby.
	2017.
	He's going through the whole thing.
	They got you as the bouncer.
	I'm the door guy checking IDs.
	But I have, trust me, I have hilarious stories.
	But anyway, so he comes in and he's chilling.
	And then he's like, I hear something that's his girl's, his girl fiancé's birthday, but they don't have anything.
	There's no, he asked if there's any cake or any, we didn't have anything like that.
	So I leave my post and I sprint down the street.
	This is, we're talking about reasonable hospitality.
	There's a Ralph's down the street.
	I go and I buy a whole thing of cupcakes.
	I put birthday candles and I light it and we sing happy birthday to him, Pat.
	This guy's face was like this.
	He's like, what the?
	Did you just, are you, guess his number?
	I contacted him and then we've been chilling ever since.
	Baker.
	And then me.
	And then he signs his contract and his dad's taking $12 million, which, by the way, Dane, it's weird, this $12 million number.
	Daryl McCauley was Dane Cook's half brother.
	You talked about this from 2004 and 2008 stole 12 million from it's like a really round number that everybody just keeps stealing from their family.
	I was with Dane Cook not too long ago.
	But Baker Mayfield, shout out to this guy.
	Stun.
	Despite all this.
	By the way, despite all of that, and he's doing that, you got to respect the fact that he's keeping it.
	Did you have some comments on this, Tom?
	Baker?
	Yes, there's something very, very funny that happened.
	And I don't remember.
	I wish I could remember what athlete, but I remember reading this long ago.
	So there's this dispute about the parents, right, taking the money and everything.
	And apparently what the athlete, this was a female athlete.
	And what she did is she said, I'd like to drop the suit.
	Because they identified all the money, apparently, Pat.
	They found all the transfers.
	So they knew the money.
	And it was like a couple million dollars.
	Now, think about what happens.
	I'm dropping my suit.
	I think I was mistaken.
	I remembered now.
	I gave it to my dad.
	It was a gift.
	And we've reported it to the IRS.
	Say that again.
	Her parents apparently had taken a couple million dollars from her on like dancing and acting and she and they ends up in the suit and there's all this stuff going on.
	Apparently her lawyer said, why don't you just recant it, drop the suit, say, oh, I remember now it was a gift and report it to the IRS.
	Wow.
	And that's what she did.
	So then guess what?
	She didn't have to go after her parents anymore.
	The IRS is going to go, hey, you took me.
	You got $2 million.
	We want 40% of that.
	40%.
	Wow.
	That's actually brilliant.
	Yeah.
	Well, listen, guys, I do want to give you guys an update.
	You guys are so crazy and powerful.
	Guess what?
	We're officially trending on Twitter.
	We're number seven hashtag on Twitter.
	Literally, it says number seven PBD podcast.
	If you can you zoom in a little bit, PBD podcast trending number seven.
	That's the power of just day-to-day people on Thanksgiving.
	That's it.
	And you know what?
	We made someone's day.
	Yeah.
	Thousands of people just wished Abby, happy things.
	How respectful of this.
	Tom's was the best.
	Dear Abby, Scott Jennings is the only reason I watch.
	Happy Thanksgiving anyway.
	By the way, we also got an amazing Thanksgiving shout out by from the president, by the way.
	Did you see what he said?
	What?
	President Lynn said, yeah, Anthony Blinken said something.
	He wanted to wish us happy Thanksgiving.
	Happy 4th of July.
	There we go.
	So dumb.
	I love it.
	Well, listen, gank.
	It's been great spending time with you guys today on Thanksgiving to, let's see how many of you were with us the last two hours.
	I'm going to give you the exact number.
	You have to be crazy because California, we started at 6 o'clock and you woke up and stayed with us.
	Yeah, you were up.
	Wakey, wakey.
	Committed.
	So, Rob, what's the number on how many stayed with us the last?
	Let me just kind of figure this thing out.
	220,000 people that were with us this morning.
	May God continue to bless you.
	May 2025 be the beginning of the greatest years of your life.
	And remember, today, Black Friday, 50%.
	Listen, we already had, I think, 17 people that have placed orders over $500, which means I got to make 17 calls already to some of you guys.
	We're going to be busy.
	I look forward to FaceTime to many of you guys.
	Remember, whatever money that's being spent for some of you that actually are comfortable saying Merry Christmas, go buy the Christmas stuff because that's moving fast.
	But there's 125 products on there that are on the 50% off sale that if you purchase, some people are ordering 20 pins at a time, buying the hats, gifting it to other people.
	The courses for some of you that are in business, make the investment on the courses, the bundles, because every year people ask us, Pat, are we doing this again?
	Are we doing this again?
	Are we doing this again?
	This happens once a year.
	This is your opportunity.
	Make sure to make that investment.
	It'll make you a lot more money than buying a TV or video game and all the other stuff that you'll be doing.
	But aside from that, while you're going through this, I think I just got a text right now that the first 200 orders, let me read this.
	Give me one second, folks, on what we were doing with respect to the Amazon.
	Any new hat with the first 100 people will receive a Future Looks Bright mug.
	Nice.
	Freaking amazing.
	So anybody that orders a hat, if in your order, there's a hat in there, you're going to get a Future Looks Bright mug.
	There's a bunch of different mugs on there for you to take advantage of.
	Go take advantage of this weekend.
	Just started.
	It really starts Friday, but those of you guys that are with us here on the podcast, you found out first.
	The email is going to go out to everybody for this weekend.
	You're ahead of everybody else.
	Enjoy Thanksgiving.
	God bless.
	Take care, everybody.
	We'll do it again next week.
	God bless.
