	Did you ever think you were made you with me?
	You would rush it on something so you take sweet victory.
	Know this life may afford me.
	I don't care.
	What you hear?
	The future looks bright.
	And Jacob is better than anything I ever saw.
	right here you are one of one i send you right there i don't think i've ever said this before yeah okay All right.
	So a lot of stories.
	Just this morning, the big beautiful bill passed.
	Speaker Johnson, all of them are giving the speech.
	We'll talk about a lot of thoughts on that one right there.
	I want to read a story to some of you guys.
	Parents, I'm not going to say earmuffs.
	I'm going to say be by yourself because you're probably going to get emotional.
	Last night, my wife is telling me, babe, read this Instagram thing.
	And she sends it to me.
	It was sent to her by Moral.
	And I'm sitting there reading it.
	I'm like, are you, why are you having me read something like this at 1030 at night?
	I have to read it to all of you.
	Parents, you're going to love it.
	And then I got something I want to introduce to you guys that has to do with that, which I think the timing is perfect.
	Trump says Biden didn't destroy the country, accuses other treasonous thugs instead.
	He actually was complimentary about Biden would never open the border.
	He said the Biden, we know, would never open the border.
	Dan Bongino drops truth bombs about FBI assassination investigation with Epstein.
	And he says, Epstein didn't kill himself.
	Somebody killed him.
	Now, Epstein killed himself.
	He committed suicide.
	And I mean, obviously, I have a lot of thoughts.
	Vinny has no thoughts on that, but some of us have some thoughts on that.
	Trump ambushes South African president in Oval Office with claims of white persecution.
	Keep that word in mind.
	Ambushes.
	Okay, that's the new word.
	Remember insurrection, that nobody had ever used that word insurrection.
	Remember all those words that you all of a sudden learn like they teach you vocabulary?
	You're about to learn the word ambushes by so many different outlets.
	Rob, I'm sure you have that video and the story as well.
	We'll cover that here.
	MSNBC's Joe Scarborough had a rough, just a rough day, man.
	You got to feel bad for this guy, but maybe you don't.
	Joe Scarborough forced to explain why he thought Biden was at his best year.
	And he was confronted over and over and over again.
	It was uncomfortable.
	So was Jake Tapper by Megan Kelly.
	Megan Kelly showed to the market why she's one of the best journalists in the world.
	You don't have to like her, but you have to respect the fact that she's one of the best journalists in the world.
	So talented, so talented on what she did.
	And we'll definitely show that as well.
	The view had a meltdown over Tapper's Biden cover-up, slammed CNN for hawking it.
	And Jon Stewart wasn't even happy about it.
	Jon Stewart said, this guy's just out there trying to sell books.
	And by the way, it's not really, the book isn't doing that well.
	If you go look at the reviews, I don't know if I see a lot of good over there.
	Mortgage rates move above 7% after Moody's downgrade of U.S. credit.
	Israel preparing to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, even as Trump tries to negotiate the deal.
	And just, is it last night or this morning?
	Just this morning, two people, two Israeli folks were killed at the Israeli embassy.
	And you see the video of this man running around screaming, hollering.
	This just happened, I think, this morning, right?
	In Washington, D.C. In Washington.
	In America.
	We're not talking about another country.
	In Washington, D.C. Rob, I don't know if you have that clip.
	We won't show the shooting, but we'll show you the clip.
	Ron DeSantis fall from grace.
	He'll completely crash.
	He completely crashed out to the ground.
	This is from The Guardian.
	And there's some accusations with this $10 million stuff that he and his wife are a part of.
	I have some opinions on.
	That's not going to be what you think I'm going to say, but I have some opinions on that.
	AOC seen as face of Democratic Party, and it's not even close.
	AOC is now the face of the Democratic Party.
	Biden official knew about downplayed myocarditis risk from COVID-19 vaccine.
	Senate reports alleges.
	You have to see the hearing on RFK.
	Is that the one with RFK, Rob?
	If we have that RFK one as well, or that's a good question.
	Peter, Peter McCullough as well.
	I got to get some quotes of that.
	We'll show that.
	Make sure you send it his way so he has some business news.
	Remember when we said State Farm, California approved that their rates would increase by 17%.
	They're not happy about it.
	They said they need a 30%, which could cause State Farm to possibly leave the great state of California and go to a different place.
	Let me imagine being the fourth biggest economy in the world and people don't want to do business with you.
	Why do you think they don't want to do business with you?
	Majority of U.S. companies say they have to raise prices due to Trump's tariffs.
	Home Depot says it will keep prices low despite pressures from Trump tariff.
	Jaguar, remember Jaguar?
	They did this ad that we were all supposed to turn transgender and buy their new car.
	Oh, no, I did.
	And we were all supposed to go, I got you.
	Well, we know you did, but I'm just saying most people, right?
	Jaguar says it has no intention of manufacturing cars in the U.S.
	And they have to now change their campaign because that last campaign they had didn't do that well with the new car that came up.
	Rob, if you don't have that story with it, maybe combine it with the other one.
	Did he carry pills?
	This is a little weird.
	People magazine.
	This is coming from People Magazine.
	Did he carry pills with Obama's face on them?
	Weird.
	Ex-assistant testifies?
	Weird.
	It's a little weird.
	I don't know what it is.
	And they have some.
	They still say some.
	Yeah, it's a little weird.
	But two huge names on the verge of quitting CBS news amid Trump's lawsuit.
	Gail King's 13-year career at CBS News may finally be coming to an end.
	And Tom's got some thoughts on that.
	Joe Rogan left shocked by sinister Mark Zuckerberg's brainwashing experiment that warped minds of 700,000 people.
	I don't know much about that story, but we will definitely see what that clip is about.
	And Pat, just that's because you're off.
	So the shooting of the two Israeli embassy staffers was last night.
	Last night.
	Happened last night.
	Not this morning.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	And then South Africa will talk about that when the president's like, oh, really?
	You don't do anything to white?
	Can you play that clip?
	Can you turn off the lights?
	You have to see what this guy does there.
	And those are some of the stories.
	Now, let me read you the story that I want to read you before we start the podcast.
	Parents, just realize it may get you a bit emotional because it definitely got me thinking about certain things.
	All right.
	So let me play this to you.
	Let me read this to you for what it's worth.
	Let me see where this one is.
	It was a boom, boom, boom.
	All right, let me go from here.
	I'll find it from this.
	Are you trying to make us cry before?
	Let me tell you, man, you know there's something about family, right?
	There's something about family, beautiful families, you know, people you love.
	This story is sent to me yesterday.
	Okay.
	It says, I'm 85 years old, and somehow I woke up in my 36-year-old body, okay?
	Just for one day.
	This time I knew what to treasure.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So she's 85 years old, wakes up in 36-year-old body.
	I hear a tiny voice before I open my eyes.
	Mama, wake up.
	I blink.
	He's standing there.
	Bedhead, pajama, pants too short.
	My little boy, he's small again.
	Go to the next one.
	He climbs into my bed, laughing.
	He wraps his arm around my neck.
	I used to check the clock, rush the morning, but not today.
	Today I hold him.
	Tight, long and deep.
	Go next.
	I walk to the mirror.
	No gray, no wrinkles, no aches in my knees.
	Just me, 36, tired, but strong.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	My husband is in the kitchen making coffee.
	He smiles when he sees me.
	Younger, softer, so familiar.
	I wrap my arms around him.
	This time, I don't let go quickly.
	We used to rush past each other.
	Today I hold him close and whisper, thank you.
	The kitchen floor is sticky.
	Lego underfoot, socks on the counter.
	I used to sigh, feel behind, get frustrated, but now I stand still and just soak it all in.
	My little son chatters all through breakfast, stories about superheroes and questions about monsters.
	This time I listen, really listen, no phone, no distractions, just him, all his beautiful, curious voice.
	In the car, he sings loudly, kicks the seat, spills a snack.
	I used to snap.
	Now I smile and enjoy the moment because one day the seat will be empty and I'll miss the noise.
	In the evening, I pick up the phone and I hear my mom's voice.
	Tears fill my eyes before I said a word.
	I forget how much comfort lives in her voice.
	We talked about nothing, the weather, what she is cooking, but it means everything.
	I tell her I love her again and again.
	I don't want to hang up.
	At bedtime, I didn't rush.
	He picks his favorite superhero book, the one I've read 100 times.
	Tonight, I read every single word slowly.
	And then I ask, one more?
	He nods.
	I don't want this night to end.
	He whispered, you're the best mom.
	I hold his small hand, kiss his soft cheek, whisper how proud I am.
	His lashes flutter.
	His chest rises and falls.
	And I just watch, soaking it in.
	Tomorrow, I will be 85 again, and he will be grown.
	Busy, bigger, out in the world.
	But tonight, I got this precious moment.
	And now I know this was joy.
	This was love.
	This was everything.
	If you're living in the moment now, don't rush through it.
	The little hand in yours.
	The bedtime stories, the mess, the noise, it all matters more than you know.
	When you read a story like this, man.
	Jesus, kid.
	I mean, you want to start us off by crying.
	I got to call my mom and Rob's a moment.
	I love Tom's a mess.
	Everybody's let me tell you.
	The fact that Tom isn't actually crying right now.
	He is.
	I see it.
	I read this.
	I appreciate your time.
	I'm reading this genius.
	You know what's crazy?
	You guys sent me this video last night with, you know, this lady that hit the ice agent and she's singing this song, right?
	I know it's going to make no sense, but if you play this here, I'm going to tell you how all this matches up together.
	Go ahead and play this.
	You are now facing a federal charge, though.
	Are you afraid of what's going to transpire now?
	You fight all, you fight all, you fight all, you fight all.
	When your government is doing.
	So how did she not respond?
	Let me tell you what happened.
	Tico yesterday, school's coming to an end.
	So they're doing swing at all this stuff.
	So he's been out in the sun for eight hours.
	His body is red.
	Oh, God.
	So he can't put a shirt on.
	And we have this aloe that you put, but it's old.
	So I take him to Publix.
	And that's the moment you send it.
	So I'm playing this.
	He said, what is she doing?
	I said, watch.
	I'm going to sing it in public in front of everybody.
	We're in the Publix.
	Tico gets embarrassed.
	I am screaming this song off the top of my lungs.
	And he is hugging.
	You know how he pushes?
	We had the most incredible 30-minute drive, going there, fooling around, bought some carrot juice, finally found the aloe.
	I asked this lady, I need some aloe gel.
	The lady takes me and gives me coconuts and aloe.
	I didn't say I want coconut.
	I want aloe, the gel, right?
	We come back, we're laughing.
	Then we're in the house.
	We're sitting there.
	He's showing me all this stuff from Stranger Times, Stranger Time, whatever.
	Stranger Times.
	Stranger Things.
	The show.
	And he's like, but this and this.
	And I'm like, dude, I really don't want to hear this stuff.
	And I'm just listening to him say the stories.
	And we're in bed.
	It's 10.15, 10.30.
	He's still talking about Tico, you got to go to sleep.
	Then I go to my bed.
	Then Jennifer gives me this.
	I read this.
	The moment I read it, I get up.
	I'm like, dude, I got to go.
	She's like, where are you going?
	I go back to Tico.
	I said, finish your story about Stranger Things.
	And he sits up, dude.
	He was so excited to tell me all about it.
	And he says, will you watch it with me when we go for vacation and all this other stuff?
	Is that not awesome, bro?
	Like when you get some messages like this that inspire the hell out of you and just kind of, we're 46, 47, Vinny.
	The famous line.
	Yeah.
	We're going to be in 20 minutes.
	You're going to wake up tomorrow.
	What do you mean?
	Family is so awesome.
	But it's going to go by so quick, man.
	It's going to go by so quick.
	And it's so weird because I had no intentions of showing this to you guys.
	But, you know, for me, we're sitting there, we're thinking about, we have the Vault conference that's coming up.
	We do this once here.
	This year, we're expecting 12,000 people.
	The last year I had 1,500 husband and wives that were there.
	And one of the things the guys, the Devi consultant, they say a lot of people ask about, you know, how to balance this with family and the kids and all this other stuff.
	How do you do this?
	I said, listen, why don't we just do this?
	Why don't we just do a free webinar on family, how to be a killer in business without killing your marriage?
	And I said, I'm going to talk about all the mistakes I've made.
	Okay.
	And we're going to talk about how we balance all this stuff together.
	So that picture they put together, for some of you guys that think that's really me with all those hands, it's not.
	It's just great job.
	Shout out to our guys at graphic design.
	Rob, if you want to play the clip, go ahead and play the clip and put this in the calendar so you know what the date is.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	You know what's scary for some people is they want to be a killer in business.
	They want to do a great job as an executive, as a CEO, entrepreneur, business owner, but they don't want to kill their marriage.
	So how do you balance that out?
	You want to go make all the money, travel, win for your family, but you want to stay married.
	You want to have a good relations with your kids.
	You want your kids to still want to see how you do this.
	There's four things, by the way.
	You ready?
	Write these down.
	Number one, you're allowing your family and friends to make you feel guilty for your vision, which is going to create resentment towards them.
	You don't want that.
	Number two is you lack clarity around the vision.
	You don't really know what you're doing it for.
	So work-life balance is a question that comes up for people that are not clear of what they want to do.
	They haven't had the conversation with their family.
	Number three is the concept of being intentional with the time you're spending with your family.
	And number four is maybe you're just looking for an excuse to not work that hard because your family's not bothering you.
	You're just looking for it.
	This concept of work-life balance comes up every single day with people who ask me this question.
	On June 11th, I'm hosting a free webinar for one hour to talk about work-life balance with the people that don't have the answer to the questions.
	They're just like I didn't have it at that time.
	I'm married now with four kids, running all these businesses.
	Some days you feel like you can't, you don't know what the hell you're doing.
	All I'm going to do is share with you mistakes I've made and things that are working for me.
	So if it's important to you, get registered.
	Tell your wife, your husband, get everybody on together to listen up.
	We're going to go through it for one hour again on June 11th.
	Register because it's limited seating on this webinar.
	I'll see you there.
	Come join us, guys, June 11th, 1230.
	Put on your calendar.
	By the way, I may have my wife and one of my kids maybe join me as well.
	Rob, what is the website for them to go register for this free webinar?
	VTwebinar.com.
	VTwebinar.com.
	We have limited to 3,000 seats, so just make sure you go get registered.
	Again, VTwebinar.com.
	Can I say one thing about this?
	Of course.
	Because you've done how many webinars, I mean, the last season?
	I've done a lot of webinars, but we've never done a webinar on this.
	This has been coming up a lot the last seven years.
	In my opinion, based on the conversations I have with everyone out there, this actually might be the most important webinar you've ever done, in my opinion.
	Because sometimes when you do an AI webinar or a business webinar, real estate webinar, it's very specific and very niche, and that's great.
	Everyone deals with this.
	We're all dealing with this.
	You know why I've never done this?
	You know why I don't like to do a lot.
	Like they asked me to write a parenting book because you're still figuring it out.
	Like I'm in the process of figuring it out.
	I'm in the process of learning this stuff, but I can't wait to have this one with you guys.
	Well, you know the secret.
	We're going to have a lot of fun with this.
	Pat is.
	Stay single, don't own a car.
	No, no, no.
	Pat is actually a vampire.
	He does not sleep.
	I know.
	Vinny dressed up as a vampire one time in Romain.
	Anyways, okay.
	PBD don't sleep.
	Let's get right into it.
	And you know what?
	I want to start off with business.
	I want to start off with business because there's a lot of stuff that's going on right now.
	And the business part of it is the new bill, the big, beautiful bill that the president was talking about, because this has to do with taxes.
	This has to do with how you're going to be paying taxes moving forward.
	A lot of people didn't think this was going to get done.
	There was a lot of challenges with it, but it eventually ended up happening.
	And I'm going to read some stuff here, Rob.
	I think you also have the whole thing in place.
	If you want to play the clip, the House Rule Committee approved President Trump's big beautiful bill in an 8 to 4 vote with Speaker Johnson stating at 1 a.m. Wednesday, very close to resolving GOP disputes, enabling a potential Housewide vote by Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
	That's Thursday morning here today.
	A key amendment introduced at 9 p.m. Wednesday, accelerated Medicaid work requirements from 28, 2029 to December 2026 for able-bodied recipients and ends green energy tax subsidies by 2028 unless they show quick returns, addressing demands from Blue State Republicans for higher salt detection caps and conservative like Representative Chris Chiproy and Ralph Norman for strict, stricter Medicaid rules and repeal Biden's inflation reduction at subsidies.
	Rob, if you want to play this clip, and then we'll get right into it.
	We look forward to the Senate's timely consideration of this once-in-a-generation legislation.
	We stand ready to continue our work together to deliver on the one big beautiful bill, as President Trump named it himself.
	We're going to send that to his desk.
	We're going to get there by Independence Day on July 4th, and we are going to celebrate a new golden age in America.
	Tom, what's in this big, beautiful bill, and why should everybody be paying attention?
	Well, you know, when Biden had the Inflation Reduction Act, a lot of people, including us, looked into it and said, what the hell, right, was going on.
	Well, this is a continuation.
	This means that the Trump tax breaks that have all been part of the budget of the United States and they've been in place for years, including during Biden, will not be expiring.
	So taxes are not going to go up on Americans at the time where they could least use them going up right now as with the economy adjusting.
	So that was number one.
	But then some good things happen.
	There was a bunch of green energy stuff in there that even at the time, people said you're giving away subsidies for nothing.
	You're not showing that the green energy was saving money or saving on investment in new energy plans because we need nukes.
	Thank you.
	And they put a work requirement in that if you're going to get Medicaid, you're going to get food stamped, there's a work requirement.
	And if you work, Vinny, what do you got to have?
	You got to have a green card.
	So guess what?
	So they're arguing, the Democrats are arguing, hey, you know, there's, you know, 3 million people aren't going to be able to get to the SNAP program.
	Well, that's like an EBT card that you can go buy food with.
	Well, guess what?
	No, If you're working or you're trying to work or you have a green card, you can take advantage of it as low income.
	But if you're, you just, you know, walked across from some foreign place and you're not supposed to be here, uh-oh, you can't use it.
	So all that was good.
	And I think this is a really good bill.
	Now, what we need to get is the fine print, Pat.
	And we don't have the fine, fine print.
	And we're going to see that because July 4th, he's talking about is it's got to go to the Senate.
	And Senate's going to arm wrestle over, but then Republicans are going to, you know, pass it.
	It's going to happen.
	And then he's going to sign it.
	I think he's absolutely going to sign it on July 4th.
	And as a matter of fact, I don't think he wants to sign it, Pat, until July 4th.
	He doesn't need to sign it till then because the tech cuts were the end of the year.
	So I think it's a good thing.
	Is it a celebratory thing?
	On a 1 to 10, I'm at about an 8.5 because it continues the tax cuts and they're moving forward.
	And they're actually putting some requirements on things.
	And no taxes on tips, I like.
	No taxes on overtime pay and no taxes on car loan interest.
	Now, when you hear that one, that's part of fine print because who's that going to help?
	The auto industry that's trying to sell cars.
	But is it car loan interest of automakers that the cars made in the U.S. or any car loan interest?
	We need to stress as part of what I want to say.
	You justify that, Rob.
	I want to see that.
	Car loan interest is for because what I hurt is the fact that the car loan interest is specific to cars that are made in America.
	And by the way, to add a few different things, here's what I looked up, Adam, before I come to you.
	I asked the question, this big, beautiful bill that just passed, I want to know specifics of how it impacts the poor, the middle class, the upper class, and the super wealthy.
	So here's a low-income, bottom 10%.
	Household resources are projected to decrease by 2% by 2027 and 4% by 2023.
	Medicaid cuts, approximately 8.6 million people could lose Medicaid coverage due to $716 billion in program cuts and new work requirements.
	You have to have certain requirements to get that, apparently.
	And of course, we're going to learn more about this.
	This next one is very, very important.
	This next one says an estimated 3 million individuals may lose monthly food assistant benefits as a result of a nearly $300 billion cuts to the supplemental nutritional system, the SNAP program, right?
	So guess what?
	If you're no longer getting the welfare program, you have to go get a job.
	Under Obama, if you guys remember, the unemployment checks went from 90 days to six months to 12 months.
	I even believe at one point they hit 24 months.
	Guess what people were doing?
	Nobody was looking for jobs.
	The moment they cut that unemployment rate to like 90 days or six months, everybody started looking for jobs.
	So this $300 billion that's cut on SNAP, they have to go get that money somewhere else.
	Middle income temporary increases in child tax credit up to $2,500.
	No deductions on tips, overtime, and car loan interest.
	I want to know the car loan interest, Rob, if that is a U.S. car loan interest or any car loan interest.
	And then there's a couple other things there.
	Elimination of federal subsidied student loan for undergraduates, potentially increasing higher education expenses, high-income individuals, top 10%.
	Household resources are expected to rise by up to 4% in 2027, primarily due to tax cuts.
	Extension of 2017 tax, Trump era tax, increased state and local salt deduction up to $30,000.
	That's the cap.
	Creation of $1,000 mega saving account for children.
	Creation of a $1,000 Make America great against saving accounts for children.
	Everybody born after 2024.
	Everybody born after 2024 gets a $1,000 mega savings account for children.
	That's sick.
	That's sick.
	And it's tax advantage so that the parents can keep it and keep contributing.
	And as it grows, it's tax advantage.
	Go make some babies, but still have a job and don't rely on SNAP.
	Go make some babies and do it right.
	Oh, SNAP.
	Estate and endowment taxes, reduction in state and new taxes on large university endowments.
	And that's kind of what you have.
	Extension of 2017 cuts, couple other things that they had there, but that's pretty much it.
	Adam, your thoughts on this?
	I think Tom nailed it.
	You know, it's going to be one beautiful bill, one big, beautiful bill.
	And I think that's what going on.
	Good to see that Congress still exists because Trump has just taken all the oxygen out of the room since he became president.
	Everything is going on with the Trump show.
	But this is going to pass.
	And I'll tell you why.
	Who controls Congress and it's not even close?
	It's the Republicans.
	So how many congressional districts turned Democrat in this past election?
	I think it's zero.
	Everything went towards the right.
	Everything, everything.
	So, you know, the old conversation with Vinny's best friend, Stephen A. Smith, it's a mandate.
	Not that kind of mandate, Vinny.
	But everything is going to, you like that, Tom?
	Everything is going to pass because they control Congress.
	By the way, Congress, the House, they have, I think they're plus eight seats, 220 to 212 in the Senate.
	They're up, I think, six seats, 53 to 47.
	This is going to pass, and it will probably pass exactly as Trump wants it on July 4th.
	Happy anniversary.
	Happy birthday, America.
	This is what's going to happen.
	By the way, I was at the Wall Street conference yesterday, Jason Lyons event, and Byron Donald spoke.
	And he talked about this exact bill, this big, beautiful bill.
	And he said this.
	He goes, you know, the Trump tax cuts that they passed in 2017?
	You know how I know that they're actually going to stay and how they're legit and why they're so good?
	Because the Democrats didn't do anything to try to reverse them in the last five years.
	It's almost like, did you notice that Biden didn't do anything to reverse all the policies against China?
	Nothing.
	He kept the Trump's policies, the terrorists on China.
	Nothing changed.
	Now Trump's jumbling down.
	But the Democrats, apparently from Byron Donald, did not do anything to reverse the Trump tax cuts.
	So it looks like this big, beautiful bill will pass.
	Great point, July 4th.
	And I'll add one thing in one sentence.
	Neither did Bill Clinton when he got to office.
	He didn't touch the Reagan program, which was consistent.
	There you go.
	That's interesting.
	He was touching other programs.
	And by the way, I just asked right now.
	I just found that the interest, the car loan interest applies only to cars assembled in the U.S. If it's not, you don't participate in that.
	It's only assembled in the U.S. is what that's all about.
	Do you think this is going to pass, PBD, just like this?
	The way it is right now in the Senate?
	Like it passed the House.
	Now it's going to the Senate.
	Look, when Hakeem Jeffries, who is the minority.
	The dream.
	He's the dream.
	When he only gets up for 30 minutes to debate and fight this, and if you remember Kevin McCarthy, he stood up for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours talking about how this is terrible.
	Guess what they're saying?
	They're not fighting.
	They're accepting.
	Well, it's good.
	This is passing.
	Tough to fight.
	There's not a fight.
	Yeah, there's not a fight.
	How much so, and Tom, you said that this was an eight, eight and a half as a pot, one out of ten?
	Yeah, I think this is an eight and a half, and I want to see the fine print because they really went down through multiple areas.
	And that's the purpose of Congress to do.
	That's what they're supposed to do.
	And how much does it mean?
	Remember, Nancy Pelosi, we'll find out what's in it after we find you.
	And how much does this help towards a victory for the midterms?
	Because I mean, at the end of the day, that's what he's going to do.
	Let me tell you how I work, Vinny.
	I'm a businessman.
	When on day 99, I gave it a C minus.
	I gave it a C minus on what's been done, not what's pending.
	As a salesperson or person that runs business, you have a lot of things that's going on.
	Unless if you close the deal, it's just a good idea.
	Right?
	So today, from there at C minus to where they're at, and they get this done by 4th of July, that C minus could be a B plus like this with everything that's going on headed towards an A, A minus.
	Oh, it's getting there.
	And I think, by the way, I'm telling you this, I'm going to keep repeating this.
	I said this everywhere I go right now.
	I was on Jesse, I said this.
	I was on Benny yesterday, I said this.
	Brace for impact, 2026.
	If you haven't heard me say this already, President Trump turns 80 on June 15th next year.
	America turns 250 years old next year.
	World Cup is coming here.
	IPO market's going to open up.
	2026 is going to be the most magical year to be living in America in our lifetime.
	Let me say it again.
	2026 is going to be the most magical year you've ever lived in America in our lifetime.
	Again, 2026 will be magical because of everything that's coming together right now.
	It's very simple.
	What he did the other day, the South African leader comes to the White House.
	When he comes in, he first shakes his hand.
	We're like, hey, everything's going to be all right.
	All this other stuff.
	So it looks friendly.
	And then he sits in front of him and he says, yo, so tell me, what is all the stuff that you guys are doing, Rob?
	I don't know if you have the handshake or not.
	If you do, you don't have it.
	Is this the one that he turns over to the video?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Well, at first he comes in.
	It's a very friendly handshake.
	Now, this is South Africa, which when you know the stories with South Africa, they have been going through a mess.
	The ANC has been running South Africa since 1994, right after Nelson Mandela.
	And for the first 10 years or so, it was good.
	Then all of a sudden, the extremists took over South Africa.
	They started, you know, losing their mind and a level of racism towards whites went to a whole different level in the country.
	A lot of chaos, a lot of weird things.
	You hear people that there's a leader of the EFF, I think, that got up.
	We will get his name.
	He got up and he gave a message saying, you know, we have to take out the whites and all this stuff.
	So he's sitting there.
	Look at all the cameras.
	Hexet is right there.
	Lutnik is right there.
	Look at Musk, who is from South Africa, standing to the right.
	Okay.
	And then you see JD Vance, VP JD Vance.
	Everybody is waiting for this meeting with South Africa.
	Here's how it goes, Rob.
	Is this when he turns over to the TV?
	Yep.
	Please go on and play this clip.
	Turn the lights down.
	Just put this on.
	By the way, Rob, if you do this, the reason why you have to see 30 seconds prior to this is because 30 seconds prior to this, he was asking him, What happened?
	Why is there a genocide going on in your country?
	Why is there such a thing going on?
	And the president of South Africa tries to explain himself and say that's not true.
	You can't believe this.
	And in South Africa, this.
	And what we learned from Nelson Mandela is this.
	And then he flips to it.
	Is that the one, Rob?
	Because for this to make sense, you have to see the 30 seconds prior to that.
	South Africa, Trump.
	Do you know which one I'm talking about, Rob?
	Or no?
	We have to show it.
	I don't want to show it without that because you have to see that whole exchange for the world to realize, oh, I just found it.
	Here we go.
	Okay, I'm going to send this over to you, Rob.
	And do me a favor, first show fast forward to it.
	Hang on, I'm going to send it over to you in text.
	The audience, folks, you have to see this.
	Okay.
	So he tries to explain himself.
	He wasn't automatically wanting to go to the video.
	He had that as a backup in case he was going to be reasonable.
	So when the president of South Africa comes up and tries to spin and say that there's nothing going on in South Africa, it's peaceful.
	There's no issues.
	No, whites are not facing any racism.
	Everybody is safe.
	Nothing's going on.
	The president flipped.
	You can play this clip here, Rob, and go to the part where the president starts speaking, South African president starts speaking.
	Okay, go for it.
	Go for it.
	Press play.
	It will take President Trump listening to the voices of South Africans, some of whom are his good friends, like those who are here.
	When we have talks between us or the quiet at a quiet table, it will take President Trump to listen to them.
	I'm not going to be repeating what I've been saying.
	I would say if there was Afrikaner farmer genocide, I can bet you these three gentlemen would not be here, including my Minister of Agriculture.
	Look at him.
	Look at him.
	He would not be with you.
	This is what you needed to see.
	So it'll take him.
	Look at the way he's speaking to us.
	It takes President Trump listening.
	That is the answer to your question.
	Watch this.
	But, Mr. President, I must say.
	No, no, wait.
	No, no, wait.
	We have thousands of stories talking about it.
	We have documentaries, we have news stories.
	Is Natalie here?
	Somebody here to turn that?
	I could show you a couple of things.
	And I would, I just, I have to, it has to be responded to.
	Sure.
	Let me see the articles, please, if you would.
	And turn the lights down.
	That's what you needed to see.
	Turn the lights down.
	Without the first minute, just to say that.
	Look at his face, bro.
	Watch this.
	That's a nervous smile there.
	With or without you, people are going to occupy land.
	We require no permission from you, from the president, from no one.
	We don't care.
	This guy speaking is Julius Malema.
	Who are you to tell us whether we can occupy land or not?
	He's the leader of Africa's EFF political party, which is about 10% support.
	Fast forward, Rob, because they're not showing the clips.
	Go to the reaction of both of them when that is over with.
	I'll show one of the clips so they know who it is.
	He doesn't even stop.
	He doesn't play, huh?
	He lets the whole thing.
	There's another clip that shows the angle of what they're talking about.
	Very bad.
	These are burial sites right here.
	Burial sites.
	Over a thousand of white farmers.
	And those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning.
	Each one of those white things you see is a cross.
	And there's approximately a thousand of them.
	They're all white farmers, the family of white farmers.
	And those cars aren't driving.
	They're stopped there to pay respects to their family member who was killed.
	And it's a terrible sight.
	I've never seen anything like it.
	Okay, Rob, do me a favor.
	Play the clip I just sent you.
	Did you see him shifting in his chair?
	Well, you have to see this because the guy, the first clip that he played is this guy, Julius Malema.
	Okay?
	Watch what he's saying here.
	And look how many people are in the crowd.
	Sweetheart of a guy.
	Watch.
	10% of the voters support him.
	Give or take.
	Kill the poor.
	The farmer.
	Kill the poor.
	Kill the poor.
	Kill them Did you know Watch what he says.
	Kill the farmer, kill the poor.
	Shoot the killer.
	So now, the president of South Africa in that position is saying, that's not my party.
	That's not me.
	I don't stand for that.
	Did you condemn it, though?
	Exactly the point.
	You nailed it.
	Rob, can you show the clip where Julius Malema is being interviewed about killing white people and what he says?
	You know which one I'm talking about?
	The 32nd one.
	He says, you can't say something like that.
	He says, well, I'm not telling you.
	I'm not condemning it, but not yet.
	Not yet.
	Maybe.
	But not yet.
	Not yet.
	Not yet.
	If you have it, he's sitting to the right.
	Not that one.
	There's another one.
	I can send it to you.
	But this is all I typed up, Rob.
	I typed him, Julius Malema, not yet.
	If you type in Julius Malema, not yet, it'll show up.
	Just type in Julius Malema, not yet.
	It'll show up.
	If you don't have it, I'll text it to you here.
	Is this the one?
	This is exactly the one.
	41 seconds.
	Go forward.
	Watch this folks.
	I'm saying to you, we've not called for the killing of white people, at least for now.
	I can't guarantee that yet.
	Yeah, but I mean, you'd understand somebody watching.
	Who wouldn't have to say that?
	Especially if you're not on Twitter.
	They say that 10 seconds if you could.
	Go back a little bit more, Rob.
	Keep going back.
	Keep going back.
	Keep going.
	Go back five more seconds.
	Watch this.
	I'm saying to you, we've not called for the killing of white people, at least for now.
	I can't guarantee the future.
	I mean, you'd understand somebody watching that, especially as it gets shared on Twitter.
	They freak out.
	It sounds like a genocidal.
	Cry babies.
	Cry babies.
	I'm not calling for the slaughter of white people, at least for now.
	I'm not going to guarantee you of the future.
	Especially when things are going the way they are.
	So you see that taking place.
	Tom, your thoughts on this?
	Yeah, well, he was saying, most people in America maybe don't know.
	He's not saying poor, P-O-O-R.
	He's saying boar, B-O-E-R.
	And those are the white Dutch settlers that are farmers in South Africa.
	So when he says kill the farmer, it's what the common people refer to them, the white says.
	And when he says kill the boars, he's referring to their their ancestors who were Dutch settlers.
	This guy is calling for an ethnic cleansing.
	That's what he's talking about.
	And so he's saying all the Dutch that came here over those years, goodbye.
	And he's making the machine gun sound and papao.
	That's what he's making.
	This, I am very proud that Trump called it out with a, what the hell are you doing?
	Because it's time that we use our strength and influence around the world not to ignore things.
	And there's so many things to do, so many things.
	Darfur and there's all these things.
	But I love the fact that Trump called it out.
	And Americans need to understand what's going on here.
	When he says kill the boar, that's all the white Dutch people that settled and kill the farmer.
	Those are the white people that are running farms.
	That's what he's talking about.
	This guy, this guy is no good.
	Yeah, he's not good.
	Adam, do you have any thoughts on that?
	Yeah, I do have major thoughts on this.
	Number one, from a macro perspective, if I'm a world leader, I would think twice before showing up to the Oval Office.
	This is the same room that Zelensky got dressed down and basically had to go back with hat in hand and his tail between his legs back to Ukraine.
	And that's the same room that the president of South Africa, Rama Fossa, just basically got exposed as being, at the very least, a liar and at the very most, calling for white genocide.
	But not yet.
	He's a terrorist.
	In a couple of days, a couple hours, maybe three months, depending on how I feel.
	So be very cautious when you go into that room.
	By the way, where do you think he got the, hey, roll the tape?
	I think that's a shout out to Rob right there.
	Just a PBD thing right there.
	Number two, got to give a major shout out.
	Talk about timing.
	Robert Herzoff, that just was on the podcast that just came out, I believe yesterday, South African billionaire, stud of a guy, came in and had this exact same conversation the day before this took place.
	And if you're paying attention to what's going on in the world, not many people are familiar with what's going on in South Africa.
	And in fact, you actually led the conversation off with, we kind of know what's going on with China.
	We know what's going on with Russia, Ukraine.
	We hear about what's going on in Israel, Gaza, Mexico.
	Not a lot of people know what's going on in South Africa.
	Why don't you enlighten us?
	And he goes, listen, there is a genocide.
	Now, genocide gets thrown around way too frequently these days.
	So what I'll tell you is this, what I learned, there is definitely an economic genocide going on in South Africa because it's basically, as he described it, if there's a living manifestation of what DEI looks like as a country, it's South Africa.
	Okay, so they have something called the Black Economic Empowerment.
	They're basically just simply saying, listen, if you own a business, if you're white and you own a business, you have to give, and especially I think as it's funded by the government, you have to give 30% of your business to the black economic empowerment movement.
	This is Marxism.
	This is socialism.
	This is reverse DEI.
	One thing that I learned is reverse racism is racism.
	That's just kind of how that works.
	So I also have a good friend on the inside in South Africa that's been on the PBD podcast before, Rand Nooner.
	Shout out to him.
	He goes, oh, everything that he's talking about is accurate.
	It is true.
	Did Trump ambush him?
	Yes.
	Just like these guys are ambushing white farmers and the boars.
	So I'm so glad that Trump just exposed this dude.
	And to put the finale on this, what's the one country, the one country in the world that brought the case against Benjamin Netanyahu to the International Criminal Court?
	What's the country?
	Well, it's South Africa.
	Who's funding South Africa, apparently?
	Well, apparently, it's the Islamic regime in Iran.
	So it's very, very ironic, don't you think?
	What's going on here?
	You know, follow them on.
	Let me show this, if I may.
	And Vinny, I'll come to you.
	So remember the word ambush.
	Two things.
	First, watch this clip with Elon Musk.
	Look how Elon Musk is looking at this man.
	And Elon, look at the look.
	Look at the look on his, how he's looking at him.
	Look at this.
	While the entire conversation is taking place, he's looking straight at him because he, the president of South Africa, said, Elon and I have spoken.
	And he says, Elon, you made a lot of money.
	He says, but why don't you come here and do stuff with me?
	Why don't you come here and do stuff with us?
	Do you know what Elon just tweeted about Starlink?
	Did you see that, Rob?
	Let me tell you what he said about Starlink.
	He's like, hey, you know, Musk, Starlink, South Africa.
	He says, I'd love to bring it in South Africa, but you don't allow me to do it because you only want it to be for, I want to read exactly what he says.
	It's such a shocker on what he says about Starlink.
	Rob, did you find it or no?
	Oh, you have to see this.
	I hope I can find this because Elon tweets a lot, but let me see if I can go through it.
	He says, I would love to, but they don't allow, they don't allow Starlink there because it's a racist country.
	So whites can't get access to Starlink.
	Some words like that.
	Again, I want to get specific on what he says.
	Rob, if you can look for it, there's something about those two taking place.
	And then while that is happening, what does the media do?
	Here's what is it, Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa because I'm not black.
	Elon, stop the victim complex.
	Starlink isn't banned in South Africa because of your skin cuts because you refuse to comply with local laws like every other telecom provider.
	Play by the rules.
	Okay.
	So they're saying, what is the rules?
	What are the rules?
	With Starlink being there.
	Okay.
	He offered it to Zelensky, Ukraine.
	He's offered a lot of other people.
	If other people are allowing it, what other rules and guidelines would be there for South Africa that you're claiming he's not allowing it to be out there?
	And then how does the market react with the way President Trump handled it?
	Rob, can you pull up the video of what the market's been saying?
	Everybody, the mainstream media, there's a video of all of them saying the same exact thing.
	I'll just, you know, there's one clip of it.
	I'm sure Rob has it.
	Watch this here, folks.
	This goes back to what we saw many, many times where the mainstream media says the same exact thing.
	Watch this.
	Somebody sent an email saying, guys, this is the word to use today.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	Office today.
	The tense confrontation, President Trump ambushing the president to South Africa.
	Rob, with that music?
	Yeah, sorry, music.
	Oh, it's that other one.
	Yeah, it's all good.
	It's that one.
	Watch this.
	Watch this, folks.
	Roll the tape, Rob.
	Office today.
	The tense confrontation.
	President Trump ambushing the president of South Africa.
	Up next, another Oval Office meltdown.
	President Trump ambushing the president of South Africa.
	President Trump is being accused of conducting something of a diplomatic ambush of South Africa's president in the Oval Office.
	President Trump orchestrated another Oval Office ambush today.
	Today, Donald Trump meeting with the President of South Africa and attempting to ambush and humiliate that leader Zelensky territory, where essentially he was a bit ambushed inside the Oval Office.
	Felt like an ambush in there.
	Kind of like the President Zelensky meeting in the Oval Office.
	Who sends these ambush?
	It was orchestrated.
	Daryl Ramaphosa brought his best diplomatic self to this meeting, but nothing could have prepared him for this multimedia ambush.
	It started as, to some degree, an ambush.
	Well, Katie, I mean, it wasn't ambushed.
	Great question.
	ABC, MSNBC, CNN, it's like they send out a back sick signal that says, just don't think for yourself.
	Do the same BS talking points.
	These people are never going to learn.
	They never learn.
	They can't get other ways.
	And I'm so happy because none of them can get back in the power pad.
	So that's one thing.
	But you guys said, so how much percent of these people of South Africa support the crazy guy?
	10%.
	10%.
	There's how many people in South Africa population?
	60 million.
	So 6 million of those people are kill, bore, kill, all that stuff.
	And Umberto sent this to me in the early Nazi party.
	Support was initially low.
	Guess what?
	How much was the percentage of support in 1929 for the Reichstag elections?
	The party received how much percent of the vote?
	You know, 3%.
	3%.
	And it dropped in 1928 to 2.6%.
	They're at 10%.
	And if the president is like, nah, it's not a big deal.
	They're trying to deny it.
	It's not a good look.
	The best part right now with what's going on, Cyril, the president, doesn't like Malema, Julius, the other guy.
	And there's one other guy as well that was a former guy that is more evil than any of these other guys.
	His name is Zuma, right?
	I don't know if you know anything about Zuma.
	I've heard the name of Zoom.
	So Zuma, this is Zuma, Jacob Zuma, who he's the guy after Mandela that pretty much destroyed South Africa.
	Do you know one time this guy had sex with a person that had HIV positive?
	And you know what he said in the interview when he had sex with this person, unprotected sex?
	He says, I did have unprotected sex with somebody that was HIV positive, but I took a shower afterwards, so I'm fine.
	No, he didn't.
	Rob, can you please fact check what I just said?
	Wow, Nobel Prize in Medicine right there.
	Fact check me right there, okay?
	Oh, so here, there you go.
	So in Zuma's admission was controversial as he stated that he has not used a condom while having he had not used a condom while having sex with Kiwazi, despite knowing she had HIV positive and having been as deputy president, the head of the National AIDS Council and Moral Regeneration Campaign.
	He told the court that he had taken a shower after the fact, claiming that doing so reduced the risk of it.
	So do you know who this is?
	Go all the way to the top so they know who this is.
	This is the former, the former president.
	He is the former president 09 to 18.
	Wow.
	So this is Zuma.
	Then you have Julius, who gave, say, kill the boar, kill the farmers.
	Then you have Cyril.
	Between the three, Cyril is the most normal one, but all three hate each other.
	The best thing that's going on is the fact that they all hate each other.
	Oh my God, they don't love each other.
	But Cyril needs to have the audacity to do something about Malema and Zuma because the way they're going, if one of these two guys ends up being there, you know what's happened the last 40, 30, 20 some years?
	1 million of the white Africans have left.
	They have left.
	It's called brain drain.
	You know what brain drain is?
	It's what happened to Iran.
	It's what happened to Russia.
	It's what happened to a lot of countries.
	It's what's happening to Venezuela right now.
	Those who are the smartest, the job creators, they leave.
	The immigration of highly trained, intelligent people from a particular country.
	These are the people you don't want to leave.
	It's like you're running a sales organization and your top 20% of sales guys leave.
	Not the bottom 50%.
	The top 20 leave.
	When your top 20% of people leave in a company or country, you have problems.
	That's what's going on.
	It's like California.
	Brain drain.
	Can I highlight one last thing?
	Please talk about it.
	It's an ambush that's on mainstream media.
	I want to tell you.
	Can I just go to the next story?
	Let me just go to the next story.
	Rob, can you pull up the Morning Joe story?
	Okay.
	Pull up the Morning Joe story and I'll come to you first.
	Okay.
	Go to the Morning Joe story.
	This is Morning Joe being ambushed.
	We're going to use the same word.
	Okay.
	Except he's ambushed with facts, okay?
	And watch how this exchange looks like on Morning Joe, Joe, protecting Biden, even though he knew he wasn't doing well, and he keeps trying to dodge it, and the interviewer doesn't stop.
	Rob, is this the one?
	Yeah, so I actually have the clip that he's referencing.
	If I can play that first and then play that.
	Okay, do that.
	Go for it.
	Do that.
	And then we'll go to this.
	So here's Morning Joe.
	And then you see the other fellow asking him the questions.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	But comparing that guy's mental state, I've said it for years now.
	He's cogent.
	But I undersold him when I said he was cogent.
	He's far beyond cogent.
	In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been intellectually, analytically, because he's been around for 50 years.
	And, you know, I don't know if people knew this or not.
	Biden used to be a hothead.
	Sometimes that Irishman would get in front of the reasoning.
	Sometimes he would say things he didn't want to say.
	This is, and I don't really, you know what?
	I don't really care.
	Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth.
	Here we go.
	We started off if you can't handle the truth.
	This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
	Not a close second.
	And I've been donating for years.
	You're doing it right for playing this first rob.
	Perfect.
	Great approach.
	Now here's the podcast.
	Go for it.
	Well, it was misleading to say best Biden ever without caveating it and say, except on the days when he's not the best Biden ever.
	But I never saw those days personally.
	Oh, you did.
	You did because you saw him address a dead congresswoman and you saw him in South Carolina.
	A dead congresswoman, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, more than that.
	I mean, I can show you the RNC clip reels.
	There were plenty of days in public when he was not the best Biden ever.
	And of course, he stumbled and bumbled around, Mark.
	I mean, yeah, he certainly did.
	Donald Trump did.
	Other politicians did.
	Again, it's actually the same case as a lot of times when I've gone in and talked to Donald Trump.
	Gone to Donald Trump, and I've heard the media narrative around Donald Trump.
	And certainly I've been very critical of Donald Trump.
	And when I leave, I have a better understanding, just like Jeffrey Goldberg did a couple of weeks ago, a better understanding of where Donald Trump is mentally, if Donald Trump is losing it, like people have said through the years or not.
	And so again, am I going to look at a clip that's gone viral and pay more attention to that than two and a half, three hours I had with a guy one-on-one going around the world?
	No, I'm just not going to.
	Are some of the clips bad?
	Yeah, they certainly are bad.
	I can understand why people would see that without the context.
	What context?
	And say that there was a problem with that, especially because I said, starting your tape right here.
	But, you know, when I look at that.
	As a pushing back, Robin, is he just going to double based on the time?
	So he doesn't challenge him anymore from here.
	Based on hundreds of hours.
	You can pause it right here.
	This is one example with him.
	Okay.
	Then you have another example, but I'll pause right here.
	I'll go to Adam and then I'm going to show you what Megan Kelly does to Jake Tapper.
	You have to see.
	How long is this one, Rob?
	Three minutes.
	Play the first minute and I'll go to it because they're the same thing.
	Jake Tapper, Morning Joe, go for it.
	I did ask Joe Biden to be transparent about his health records in an interview in 2020.
	I did ask him about the fact that voters thought that he was not transparent at all.
	He promised you that he would be transparent about his health records, and then he wasn't.
	And when you sat with him again, including one month, including one month after the Jackie Walorski thing, you didn't ask him about it.
	You didn't follow up on the fact that he was falling up the stairs, that he was losing his train of thought regularly, that he was slurring, that he was incomprehensible, that he was getting lost on the White House lawn.
	You sat right across from him and you asked none of that, notwithstanding the fact that he had promised you he would be fully transparent about his health issues.
	You know as well as I do that there's a way of you can say, hey, there's this poll on your age, or you could say, you just forgot that Jackie Walorski was dead.
	You asked where she was moments after watching a videotape tribute to her.
	You lowered the flags at the White House after she died.
	This happened 13 days before you sat with him.
	There is a way of pressing a man like that on the actual infirmities to bring it home to him and to the audience, and you didn't do it.
	It wasn't just that.
	I mean, you sat with him a couple of times in the course of his presidency and these issues were not pressed.
	Well, there was at least that time and then there was the time at the beginning.
	But separate apart from that, you covered the Biden's presidency.
	No, no, no.
	Let me just finish my point.
	You covered the Biden presidency.
	I was with him during his presidency.
	Oh, God.
	And it was 13 days after the Jackie Walorski thing.
	But you covered the Biden presidency aggressively throughout the four years and you didn't cover mental acuity hardly at all.
	Impossible.
	So this is how I'm going to bring it over to you.
	So mainstream media hasn't learned their lesson.
	Nope.
	The internet saw the clip of you guys saying the same exact thing.
	You're doing it again with Trump now, Ambush, and you see his popularity is increasing.
	Yours is decreasing.
	The governor of New Jersey, it's a left state, has a worse popularity approval rating than Trump does in New Jersey.
	Go to Rutgers, see what they teach you about Trump.
	What happened there?
	What's going on with him?
	And then now Morning Joe and Jake Tapper, who have been looked at as these incredible journalists, are sitting there being questioned by others and they don't know how to answer the question.
	Adam, your thoughts on this?
	Let me tell you, this pisses me off more than maybe anything, because this is the reason I became so anti-Trump for many years.
	Because they lied to me.
	Like, there's nothing worse than thinking that you're on the right side of history, but you've been lied to this whole time.
	This is why, you know, you joke about that I'm more MAGA than anybody these days.
	I wasn't MAGA at all, but now I'm definitely MAG.
	I want to make America great because I've been lied to.
	Because in 2016, I had a nice situation at work where I started working remote and made some money.
	And I was watching Morning Joe every single morning.
	Why did I watch Morning Joe every single morning?
	Because I liked the fact that Joe Scarborough was a Republican and Mika Brzezinski was a Democrat.
	And they had an entire conversation of panels and they made it seem like it's an open discussion discourse.
	What I didn't fully realize is this guy hates Trump with every fiber of his being.
	And that's the biggest problem with a lot of these people, whether it's the Jake Tappers of the world, whether it's the Joe Scarboroughs of the world.
	They hate Trump so much.
	Even Megan Kelly hated Trump because you remember that situation when he had blood coming down?
	But she at least has come out of TDS and defends the truth.
	So the question is, you know, talked about the red pill.
	Would you rather be lied to and people tell you what you want to hear?
	Or would you rather hear the truth, but people tell you what you don't necessarily want to hear?
	That's who Trump is.
	So I fell for it.
	And I see, and I'm like, I see what's happening in real time where these people are not willing to admit that they basically the walking dead, Joe Biden, was pulling a weekend at Bernie's and you defended him like he was completely cogent and cognitive.
	It upsets the hell out of me.
	First time Adam and I speak, I go to Miami, not the first time, when it got to the point where he calls me, says, Pat, I just want to drop everything.
	I want to come and work with you and run with you.
	I want to come to Texas.
	I'm like, you want to do what?
	He said, I want to come over to Texas.
	Well, you okay with that?
	I'm like, look, take a fly out here.
	Let us see what's going to happen.
	He comes down and he's walking around.
	And, you know, Adam, one of the most charming, charismatic guys you'll meet.
	Everybody likes him.
	And then he leaves.
	So then I go to Miami and I meet with him.
	We're having lunch or something.
	I don't know where we were at.
	Then I fly back.
	By the way, that was a trip that I was shooting some videos.
	But anyways, that's a whole different thing.
	I don't want to get the helicopter thing.
	And then I fly back and I call him and I say, So, Adam, it's the interview.
	How do you feel about Trump?
	Adam's like, um, what do you mean?
	Do you remember this?
	How do you feel about it?
	How do you really feel about it?
	Because, you know, you know how I feel about him, but how do you feel about him?
	Well, you know, I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Watch this clip.
	This is a podcast from four years ago.
	Okay.
	Go ahead and play this clip, Rob.
	Watch this.
	Let me go back to the next one.
	Trump doesn't bring that out of the question at all.
	For the fifth time, this is where the audience gets upset sometimes because you don't answer questions.
	No matter what you say, you're not going to convince me to vote for fucking Trump.
	So whatever way you want, I'm not going to say you got me.
	FYI.
	That's when you lose people, brother.
	You can't.
	What's when you lose people?
	Okay.
	So this is.
	And I voted for Trump this time, but I'm still for you.
	But let me tell you, I'm telling you guys, he may be the biggest supporter now, okay, than anybody in this room.
	And so, and here's the other part I want to add to this.
	It's crazy.
	There are a lot of people like Adam.
	Adam's not a high school dropout.
	Adam had good grades.
	Adam went to college.
	Adam got a degree.
	Adam, you know, was involved that he followed the news.
	You drop names.
	He knows congressmen's names from 30 years ago.
	He'll drop them.
	So it's not like he hasn't been following it, but he's the guy that followed mainstream.
	And it leads to now Jon Stewart calling out Jake Tapper.
	Rob, if you got this clip, watch this one here.
	Jon Stewart's not a Trump guy.
	He cannot stand Trump.
	Watch Jon Stewart here.
	We're back with breaking news in our politics lead and a brand new excerpt from my upcoming book with Axios's Alex Thompson.
	It's called Original Sin.
	I'm not sure if you've heard of it.
	It's on Biden's decline.
	It's called Original Sin.
	I'm sure you've heard on May 20th, that's Tuesday.
	Original Sin, that's coming out in three weeks.
	On May 20th, that's just 19 days away.
	Maybe one week in one day.
	Coming out in just a few days.
	Comes out Tuesday.
	You will not believe what we found out.
	I love this.
	Don't news people have to tell you what they know when they find it out?
	Isn't that the difference between news and a secret?
	You won't believe what we found out.
	No, that's why I'm watching.
	Breaking news.
	In weeks.
	You can positive.
	You can positively.
	So let me just say one thing about Jon Stewart.
	By the way, how much better is the Daily Show with Jon Stewart back?
	I know they have the DEI hire, Noah, Trevor Noah, really bad.
	But they also have other people on that show that are amazingly anti-Trump.
	Amazingly.
	Are you familiar with the Asian guy?
	They have some incredible people there.
	Jordan Clepper's great.
	The blonde girl.
	They have some great people.
	This guy, Ronnie Chang, right here, horrible, horribly not funny.
	But here's what they're telling their audience.
	They say the fact they're talking about the white genocide.
	We just basically had a whole conversation about that.
	He goes, you know how I know there's no white genocide?
	Because Trump said there was a white genocide.
	So basically, already saying, if Trump said it, don't believe him.
	That's how he frames the entire conversation.
	And this is what they think about you if you vote for Trump.
	Go to the part where they talk about The watch, like some person got a Trump watch and it showed up and the T dropped off and it said rump, right?
	And he goes, I'm actually shocked that these people actually even know how to read.
	That's crazy.
	Like, this is what they think of a voter who votes for Trump.
	We're deplorable.
	So the T dropped off and they're like, oh my God, where's the T?
	And then, so it says rump, ha, ha, ha.
	And he says, I actually didn't even expect them to read.
	And this is what they're doing.
	And the last point is this.
	And just to address exactly what you said, let me tell you, he said, I truly did not expect them to be able to read because they voted for Trump.
	Here are the conversations.
	You know, when it hit and like manifested the exact moment where I was like, oh my God, I know I've been lied to, but now I'm already seeing what's going on.
	Do you remember the Trump Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden?
	Yeah.
	Right before this is the famous Tony Hinchcliffe, Puerto Rico.
	We went to New York.
	That's when you did your interview with Pierce Morgan.
	And I would hear from all my friends, I can't believe you're in New York.
	You're at the Nazi.
	You're supporting Hitler.
	Unbelievable.
	I go, okay.
	The next night, we went to Mar-a-Lago.
	You were there.
	You were there.
	We were all there to see the movie, The Man You Don't Know, right?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	You guys left a little early.
	That night, when I tell you, it was so pro-Israel.
	It was so pro-Netanyahu.
	It was so pro-Judaism that I went up to Jewish people.
	I was like, take it down a notch, buddy.
	We're in America.
	I'm Jewish, so I'm with you.
	But take it down a notch.
	Let's be pro-America.
	Hitler, pro-allies.
	So I'm telling my friends, arguing with them, Jewish guys, I'm like, you know what?
	You fell for it, guys.
	You're exactly who I was five years ago.
	Because I was at Mar-a-Lago, and it was the exact opposite of what they're saying about Nazi rallies.
	You fell for it.
	And Pat, question.
	You've written books.
	You've written multiple books.
	And I had this before.
	We saw the Jon Stewart thing.
	How long does it take to write a book?
	Oh, it takes a while.
	How long do you think it took Jake Tapper, the freaking hack that he is, the BS artist, and that guy to compile everything?
	Just if you have to say ballpark, how much to compile it, write it, rewrite it, editing, da-da-da-da, all that.
	Just give me a timeframe.
	Well, in a case like this, I know where you're going.
	So I'm going to say six months, but something like this could take 18 months.
	18 months, maybe even more.
	So he knew he didn't do anything.
	And I'm happy that you were saying what you were saying during this.
	I don't want them to change.
	I don't want, I want them to keep doing this ambush shit, keep doing all this Nazi Hitler policy.
	You're over it, though.
	But over it, but I don't want them to start sounding like they're, oh no, we've all changed.
	We've all adjusted because the moment these people let their party back in power, every single thing that Trump has done is going to be undone.
	And that's why when I say, Pat, they're the enemy.
	This party, and we have a bunch of stories that we're going to get into with assassinations and all that.
	This party has lost their freaking mind.
	They have no morals.
	They have nothing to stand on.
	And I don't think they could ever get back into power.
	Period.
	Done deal.
	It's horrible.
	I'm not saying never, man.
	I'm not saying we shouldn't let them.
	No, no, I get what you're saying.
	Give me a policy that they're doing.
	I get what you're saying.
	Rob, can you play this?
	Here's the view reacting to Jake Tapper.
	And then Tom, I'm going to come to you.
	And I got something I'm going to show you guys.
	A show that's going to rival these guys that I want you to tell the world about.
	And I got a clip of you of that to show you.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	Why is this important to know now?
	Yeah.
	Oh, God.
	It seems to me, you know, we got a lot of stuff to be concerned about at the moment.
	No accountability.
	So I listened to Trump.
	Here's the Trump's atrocities.
	I'm going to list it for you.
	Cutting Medicaid.
	Yeah.
	Well, this is what we're concerned about now.
	Oh, I got you.
	Okay.
	Cutting Medicaid.
	Slashing funding for cancer research.
	Oh, yeah.
	Rising prices because of tariffs.
	Dismantling USAID, which helps children and people who are poor around the world.
	Yeah, fears of recession, destroying due process, ending birthright citizenship, dismantling the Department of Education, rolling back regulations on air and war quality, destroying our relationships with allies like Canada and the UK, and targeting his political opponents.
	And not only that, but he also said that Joe Biden has stage nine cancer.
	Oh, really?
	Where did he come up with that?
	I got a Gleason score of nine.
	...going to write a book about the cognitive decline of the person who is in charge right now.
	Oh, yeah!
	Woo!
	You're so cool.
	Oh, my God.
	I wasn't as extreme as watching this ridiculous show, but I understand why people fall for their non-credits.
	Joey Beher died two years ago.
	No one told her.
	You know, what's interesting is they're going to lose their megaphone.
	They're losing their megaphone right now.
	And to Vinny, I'll tell you.
	It's very ironic.
	We were just talking about the daily show, and there was something that John said at the end of that clip far at the end that I watched last night.
	It was interesting, Pat.
	He says, and why am I paying $30 to read in a book what you should have told me three years ago for free?
	Wow.
	If you go find that, there's a quote from John Stewart where he says, free.
	And why am I buying a book when three years ago you should have told me for free?
	So, but remember, remember, Adam, you'll remember this because I know you were up on media and this.
	Remember when the people started doing surveys and they found out, hey, did you know that some of these Gen X's are getting their news from the daily show more than they get it from regular news sources?
	Remember when those first things came out?
	Well, guess what?
	It's a tsunami.
	And we are causing it.
	This podcast, what we're doing is causing this.
	Check this out.
	The shift in cable as people get to Hulu and they go online and they don't even get cable anymore.
	You know, the Gen Zs, they don't even buy cable.
	So guess what?
	All the old cable going away and with it, the unprofitable news.
	Versent, you know what Versant is?
	It's a company being spun out of Comcast and NBC.
	And what are they putting in it?
	USA, Oxygen, MSNBC, and CNBC.
	And CNBC, they say, is the only real jewel because the way it covers business and it's actually a profitable point in there.
	And it doesn't have a bunch of hosts with $10 million salaries.
	Well, get this.
	It's being spun out as a thing called Versent.
	And now David Zaslav, after he has lost NBA, NBA was on Turner for how many decades?
	And they've lost that.
	NFL Sunday Ticket has gone to YouTube, YouTube TV.
	It's the ice is melting below the feet of the cable empire.
	And people are turning for their news elsewhere.
	And David Zaslav has got to take Turner and CNN and spin them out and sell them at a garage sale.
	And David Faber caught a whisper.
	He's a interested if it was a garage sale number.
	I ready for this.
	CNN, this is David Faber was talking.
	There's an article that's written this.
	And then there is an attributed quote that they won't put the name on.
	So they said there's a direct quote won't put the name on.
	This is a high-level media executive in the U.S. Zaslov has no choice.
	He has to spin it out and he has to keep CNN in the basket because the rest of the basket's worthless.
	CNN, quote, will be orphaned without any real investment or future.
	I see no future in it personally.
	So what they're talking about.
	I do with the right owner.
	Yes, I agree with that.
	But the point is, with their current economics, why are they cutting everybody's salary?
	Because the viewership's down.
	Why is the viewership down?
	You're putting out the wrong product.
	If the product was different, it would be different.
	Let me show you something.
	With all the frustration people have with the view, a lot of people were talking.
	We took action.
	We came up with a new show called Her Take.
	We have the next episode that's going out tomorrow, 11 o'clock.
	If you want to see another show rival The View and compete against it, watch this preview of tomorrow's episode that's coming out.
	Real debate.
	These are real people debating and pushing and challenging each other.
	Just support it.
	We want this thing to get to a million subscribers.
	Watch this clip here.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	I will call that an effort out.
	Why were you raising money for Biden then?
	Because I understand.
	I just told you.
	I know you got real angry when people ask you that question.
	You need to answer.
	Okay, don't yell at me.
	No, no.
	Do you understand English?
	I just said I.
	I do.
	You're lying, though.
	Do you really think that we can trust Iran?
	You can allow them to enrich.
	We had answers.
	I don't trust Iran.
	I don't trust the government.
	After 9-11, I wanted to bomb the crap out of Iraq.
	When is American policy no longer made in America?
	I don't know.
	No, because it's not, because it has no effect on any American's life.
	Who cares?
	Because we don't have to do that.
	She was really naked and shy.
	Okay, Jillian.
	It doesn't affect any.
	I actually agree with Anne.
	I agree.
	And I'm not a human here, guys.
	But why is that our responsibility?
	Why do we need to be the sheriff of the entire world?
	We're so underrupted in America due to the illegal immigration.
	How's he meant to go and pull these on a notebook?
	Is there something else you want to do?
	Shout out to Jillian Michael.
	The fact that they're not agreeing on every single thing on the board.
	It's a real show.
	Oh, thank you.
	Rob, can you put the link below in the description?
	Guys, do me a favor.
	Please go support this show.
	We want the view to react to something that these guys are talking about because the direction America wants to go to is this direction.
	They want to see these types of discussions where people are sitting there arguing with each other, debating with each other, and you get to see both sides of the story.
	If you want to see us take this thing even to more active show, maybe even soon do a live show with live audience attendance, go support the channel and subscribe to it.
	All right, let's get to the next story here.
	Let's get to the next story here.
	Trying to see which one to go with.
	Let's go with this one here.
	Dan Bongino drops truth bomb.
	Vinny, it's a truth bomb.
	In FBI's assassination investigation.
	He's sitting with Kash Patel.
	They're asking about Epstein.
	Have we reacted to this yet?
	I don't know.
	Rob Bennett.
	We did do the Epstein.
	This is a separate, it's from the same interview, and it happened on the same day, but it got overshadowed by the Epstein clip.
	This is where they talk about the July 13th shooting, attempted assassination of Donald Trump by Thomas Crooks.
	And this is where Dan Bongino says, if there was anything there that was bigger than just one guy doing it, I would tell you.
	Play this clip.
	You know what, Maria?
	Cash is not kidding.
	We've been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget, tendril of this case.
	One is actively in court right now.
	So out of respect for the case, it's probably more appropriate that I stay quiet on that.
	However, I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear.
	I'm going to tell you the truth.
	And whether you like it or not is up to you.
	If there was a big explosive there there, right?
	Given my history as a Secret Service agent and my personal friendship as a director does with the president, give me one logical, sensible reason we would not have to, if you can think of one, there isn't.
	There isn't, in some of these cases, the there you're looking for is not there.
	And I know people, I get it.
	I understand.
	It's not there.
	If it was there, we would have told you.
	Okay, Vinny.
	Okay, thoughts.
	And by the way, I got a clip by Alex Jones.
	I want to show afterwards, his reaction, and another clip of before and after, but I want to go to you.
	And Rob, that was in reference to which assassination attempt?
	Thomas Krishna.
	July 13th, Thomas Crooks.
	Thomas Clare Pennsylvania.
	I don't know about you guys.
	I saw a couple of videos, body language professionals, what he said about the Epstein thing.
	And by the way, there are clips of Dan Bongino going in on everything and all the, and then now it just seems very calm.
	It seems like he doesn't want to be saying the words that are coming out.
	Is this it, Rob?
	Can we play this, Rob?
	Yep.
	Is it okay, Pat?
	Go for it.
	Listen, that Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal.
	Please do not let that story go.
	Keep your eye on this.
	Catherine Rummler, I want you, we need to keep the heat on this case, folks.
	There are a lot of people who are knee-deep in the Washington swamp who are not telling you the truth about serious allegations out there that Epstein may have had video and audio of people out there doing things they shouldn't have been doing.
	And you should be asking yourself the question, how is it that all these people, the CIA director, the Obama fixer, Bill Clinton, all intersected past with Jeffrey Epstein?
	Jeffrey Epstein isn't with us anymore, and nobody seems to want to talk about it.
	Outside of a few entrepreneurial media outlets saying, hey, this is a big deal.
	He killed himself.
	Again, you want me to get?
	I've seen that.
	Okay.
	And listen.
	And Pat, we've hung out with, I respect Dan Bongino immeasurably, but especially when they come, let's put the Epstein stuff to the side.
	You mean to tell me Thomas Crooks, that case, just some white dude figured, by the way, flew a drone.
	Nobody said nothing.
	He was walking around.
	There's footage of him pointing and doing this.
	Police officers everywhere.
	He gets on the roof.
	People see him.
	There's Secret Service people in the building.
	Okay.
	He does all that.
	He has six cell phones on him.
	They get off.
	He's allegedly put off a shot.
	The parents are basically protected.
	And you want me to believe that just this random white kid set up in the perfect position and they all lied about the slanted roof.
	And out of all that, let's say even, God forbid Trump was shot and he died there.
	What would have happened?
	Kim Cheadle would have stepped down and got fired and case closed.
	Okay.
	I do not believe you.
	I understand they're in a different position, Tom.
	And there's certain things you can't say.
	But if you think us, the American people are going to believe that this lone gunman BS story is true, you have another thing coming.
	All right.
	Period.
	Period.
	And the Epstein thing, Pat, I don't give a damn.
	Okay, killed himself, whatever.
	I don't believe the noise.
	Who gives a shit?
	What about the 10,000s of 10,000s of hours of young girls, of children getting raped and whatever?
	Those people are still walking around.
	You know what I mean?
	You have the footage.
	They're still in society and they're still walking around.
	So how long?
	How many more hours are you going to watch while these people walk free?
	That's what I don't understand.
	Make a f ⁇ ing arrest.
	Give us one person.
	One.
	I don't care if it's Bill Gates.
	I don't care if it's Bill.
	I don't give a shit.
	I want somebody.
	Give us somebody.
	Tom.
	I agree.
	I don't need to speculate.
	You know why?
	Because Pam Bondi walked up to a microphone and said there are 10,000 or what?
	Tens of thousands.
	Tens of thousands of videos and clips, and we have to be careful about the identities.
	So I'm not out there.
	I'm not out there with a tin hat, crazy train.
	I listened to Pam Bondi, and I respect Pam Bondi, but I want her to finish up and put some dates and timelines on what she came out and she told us.
	Where is this?
	And I also want to see if there are people there that are, see, I'm not as worried about a congressman that went to Epstein Island and had sex with a girl who was 17, not 19.
	I worry less about that.
	I want to know where are the people that were part of the feeder network that are running networks of this because they were in business and they're probably still in business trafficking kids to God knows where.
	Those are the people that I want stopped because this was a criminal enterprise.
	There was a constant flow.
	So I'm not ready again to put on my tin hat and get all freaked out on one thing or the other or whether a senator did this with somebody or Prince Andrew.
	They called him Randy Andy.
	He already had a reputation.
	There's nothing more to the story of Andrew is that this guy was an entitled royal who was just basically humping his way around the world.
	I'm not worried about that.
	I want to know where are these children now and I want to know where are the people that were trafficking them in because that's where it is.
	Yep.
	And exactly.
	And unlike like Tom, I used to drink.
	I haven't drank on May 31st.
	It's going to be my two-year mark, right?
	I have urges, but not like that.
	These pedophiles that are on this camera, they don't stop being pedophiles.
	You don't recover from being, you know, you're not a recovering pedophilia guy.
	You know what I mean?
	Like that's horseshit.
	Those people are still walking around.
	That's Alex Jones.
	And they know who they are.
	They know where they are.
	Watch this.
	And tell us.
	Oh, we've closed it.
	He acted alone.
	We have the files.
	Don't.
	If you're going to crap on me or piss on me, don't, you know, don't rub it in and don't tell me it's raining, okay?
	Please, please.
	Just, I mean, can you not?
	Just as a PR issue, will you stop it?
	Kosh and Bongino.
	I know, obviously, Dan, nobody's smarter than you.
	But if you want to go from being very popular to very unpopular and thus hurt Trump as well, just keep going.
	Keep going, tough guy.
	Okay, I'm going to stop right there.
	I'm getting angry.
	Alex Jones.
	And it's very insulting to the American people to say Epstein killed himself.
	No one buys it.
	It's very insulting to say that that brainwashed mind control, classic mind control operative acted alone.
	Please stop.
	The one that trained where the federal law enforcement trained all that, his cell phone all around the federal building in D.C., the FBI headquarters.
	Stop it.
	If you're not going to do anything about it, just shut up about it then.
	Yep.
	But that's only going to encourage the group inside the government, the faction, to try to kill the big guy again.
	Am I trying to create some controversy?
	Alex Jones turns on Trump, turns on Bongino.
	It's not that.
	I just, please don't insult us anymore.
	Please, please, please.
	God, I mean, it's like getting up at a dinner party and taking a dump on a plate and telling everybody it's chocolate ice cream.
	I mean, you can possibly do that.
	We can, well, that's what it is.
	Well, look, you might not like what I have to say, Vinny Tom.
	It's amazing to see people that were avid supporters of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino just a week ago, a month ago, a year ago, completely turn on them because as he said, I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear.
	I'm going to tell you the truth.
	And whether you like it or not, it's up to you.
	I know people.
	I get it.
	I understand.
	It's not there.
	If I was there, we would have told you.
	So I'm going to take these people at their word, unless you think they're a liar.
	Because I had a conversation with somebody that's very in the know.
	And he goes, sometimes don't rule out sheer incompetence.
	Don't rule out people just messing up.
	Sometimes it's not a cover-up.
	It's just a complete screw-up.
	So there is, hold on.
	Okay.
	Because I know you just want to talk and not listen.
	No, I'm listening a lot.
	Sometimes incompetence.
	Sometimes incompetence.
	All right.
	Changing my notes.
	The world's most underrated mastermind.
	If you would.
	So you're saying you believe them.
	I would say.
	Epstein.
	No, I'm talking specifically about Trump and the Butler situation.
	Oh, okay.
	Is that not what we're talking about?
	Go Butler and go Epstein.
	I will do that.
	Go ahead.
	Okay.
	So I know a lot of people want to say, oh, it was the FBI.
	It was the CIA that did this.
	That's the director of the FBI.
	I think he would know.
	Now he is.
	So I think he would know.
	So I just find it hilarious that the person that everyone was so in favor of, once they tell you what they know and the truth, and it's not what you want to hear, now you have an issue with them on this particular situation.
	Who has, and I love you.
	Who do I think has more credibility?
	Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, or Vinny?
	Okay.
	I love you.
	I know where you are.
	You're going to go with them.
	Okay, but you're missing.
	I know you're going to say.
	No.
	What am I going to say?
	You're going to say, well, I don't believe them.
	No, I don't believe them.
	I'm not saying is, Adam, you could tend to believe them.
	You could talk the talk.
	I'm not talking anything.
	Not you.
	I'm believing that.
	Not you.
	I'm saying they can make all the promises.
	Then, Adam, then once they come in and the tune changes, yeah, we're going to talk shit.
	So you're saying they're compromised.
	No, I don't.
	Hold on.
	Go ahead.
	I don't know.
	I don't know what it is, but you know what I do know, Adam?
	From a ex-military, sniper, shooting point of view, militant, secret service, slope-roof bullshit, none of it makes sense.
	None of it makes sense.
	And I understand they have the behind the scenes and all the facts and everything.
	You can't tell me that Thomas Crooks with his six cell phones and his parents being protected and his apartment being wiped out clean, okay?
	And all that information, he acted by himself.
	Adam, because you know what I believe in?
	Going back to the spirituality is evil.
	Evil, the left, that party, the deep state, I'm not saying all Democrats, their goal was to kill Trump, plain and simple.
	And it failed the first time.
	They did the switcher rule with Kamala.
	Then Ryan Ralph, Mr. Ukraine lover, weird.
	Ukraine, you think Zelensky and them love Trump?
	No, they would have loved to have this guy taken out to get the money keep flowing in.
	Okay.
	I'm just not naive, Adam.
	Those two guys look like they've been told to shut the hell up.
	So they're compromised.
	They might be compromised, Adam.
	When it comes to the Epstein thing, my question to you, do you think in this four years we're going to find out anything about Epstein or we're going to get any closer to the truth?
	I hope so.
	What do you think?
	Do you think we're going to get anything like from today?
	Do you want me to answer the question?
	May 22nd.
	No, May 22nd till Trump is gone.
	Anything?
	I would hope so, but it's also probably doubtful.
	Because in my opinion, they don't want certain names who were on that island to come out.
	And what's the reason they don't want those names to come out?
	The system will collapse.
	I'm assuming is those people probably run the world or at the very least run the country.
	Oh, yeah, Vinny, you're going this way.
	And you're very clear about what you just said.
	I don't need to summarize it.
	And Adam's very clear on that.
	What I said is they both looked a little bit stiff and a little bit uncomfortable there.
	But I'm not an expert.
	I don't know how to read that, but I looked at it as a picture of the people.
	But don't you think these guys look a little stiff and uncomfortable?
	However, my point was, I just want Pam Bondi to finish the sentence she started when she walked to the microphone without speculation.
	So I'm probably, you know, that's where I'm at.
	It's like, okay, Pam, then tell us and then let's go after the criminal enterprise that was trafficking the kids.
	Can I ask PBD?
	Because basically what we're saying is the following.
	Do you believe Cash and Dan Bongino or not?
	So in my opinion, I actually believe them.
	So because you're basically saying, nope, they're not telling me what I think.
	So now I don't believe them.
	And there's nothing you can tell me otherwise.
	Do you think these guys have high credibility?
	Do you think they've been compromised since they entered office?
	Dan Bongino said, please don't stop investigating this if you're running a couple of entrepreneurial organizations or the owners that are talking about it.
	He specifically said that pre-getting in his words, right?
	So his words conflict with today's words.
	That doesn't mean that can't happen.
	Many times, you know, you will like, for example, the whole story with The Rock going to Vince McMaster saying, I need you to pay me $2 million a year.
	And he says, wait a minute, do you know how we make money?
	Here says, no.
	I said, why do you want me to pay you $2 million?
	Because you just said you pay Stone Cold a million.
	I want to get $2 million.
	Vince says, Would you mind the next 90 days working with our CFO and accounting department to find out exactly how we make profits and how much our events cost?
	I don't mind doing it.
	Goes through it, comes back, says, You know what?
	After finding out exactly how you guys make money, you don't make a lot of money.
	It's a loss deal.
	I'll only take a million bucks.
	And it says, Great.
	But if you drive next year, he says, You know how much money you made?
	How much money did I make?
	I made $50 million.
	You got to be kidding me.
	No.
	Because you finally went in and saw the numbers.
	I'll give some credence to that.
	It's like when somebody wants to buy a company, oh, it's worth $200 million.
	You do quality of earnings.
	It's only worth $92 million.
	It's only worth $80.
	We're trying to buy this building here.
	The guy says, We'll sell it to you for $75 million.
	I said, Really?
	Yeah.
	I said, I'll make a $60 million cash offer.
	Well, our net income, what is it, net income revenue, whatever.
	What was the net income?
	Net rentals.
	Net rentals they had was $5.2 million.
	Great.
	The moment the offer was made, they had to show it.
	That $5.2 million very quickly became a couple million dollars.
	We're like, wait a minute, why would I pay you $60 million if it's only making this kind of money?
	So there is the element of finding out after you get in.
	However, however, however.
	For me, you know, you have two of the biggest supporters of not believing what happened with Epstein.
	You want us now to believe it?
	You want us now to believe that the people that were trying to take out Trump, nothing happened there?
	There's a part of me that believes Trump is behind all of this, not in the way that you think about it.
	There's a part of me that thinks Trump's behind all of this because Trump wants to use this as a leverage of negotiating against the enemy.
	So think about it this way: what if they had proof on what happened with Crooks?
	Should you drop it now, or do you need to hang on to that for the next four years to have control and authority?
	What happens if you hang on to that?
	You're saying he's playing his cards close to the vest.
	All I'm saying is that he's saying something and he's doing misconceptions.
	If I knew Crooks was an asset that was mind control, tied to somebody, somebody else was working with him.
	Why would I release it now?
	Why does he need that ammunition right now?
	He doesn't need it yet.
	He's going to need it.
	Trust me, the war hasn't even started yet on what they're going to try to do to destroy this guy.
	The award next year, I keep saying 2026 is going to be the greatest year in the history of America with July, June 15th being his 80th and 250 America's birthday, then World Cup coming here.
	They're going to do everything in their power to make him and America look bad.
	He needs all of these pieces, all these cards for next year.
	All of them.
	My opinion.
	If I'm the president, I'm not going to leak that information today.
	I'm hanging on to it to know when we're going to drop the news.
	And when we do, it's got to be at a time that I'm going to destroy your party.
	I'm going to make sure the world knows about what you're doing.
	You best get your act together or else.
	You don't think he's capable of talking like that behind closed doors?
	So to me, all I'm thinking about is that.
	Right now, he's saying, guys, delay, delay, delay, I'm going to need to stuff the next four three years.
	Delay all of it.
	I'm going to need it the next three years because shit's going to get nasty the next three years.
	It's going to.
	But can I respond real quick?
	Yeah.
	I think the way you think is incredible and that's admirable because a lot of people don't think that.
	Like you're already like you wrote a book, you know, your next five moves.
	You're thinking five, 10, 15 moves ahead.
	And Trump would be doing that in this regard for short time.
	So my only counter argument would be, then why come out and make a statement that he didn't do it?
	All you would have to say is it's still under investigation.
	And what this does is this stops it.
	It's like, done, go.
	Yeah.
	Now we're talking.
	Yeah, but you don't want to be able to do it.
	And you know what you could do later on?
	You could say, you want to believe what you just got.
	We got new information that we never had before.
	It's a script.
	It's easy too.
	You're bringing back new information.
	These are professional communicators.
	This is not a regular, like, these guys that do this job, you have to learn how to do this.
	The enemy's watching every single one of your moves.
	Remember, we have freedom of speech.
	China does not.
	Iran does not.
	Russia does not.
	We have freedom of speech.
	What is the benefit of not having freedom of speech?
	Your enemy is not able to see what you're doing.
	What is the benefit of having freedom of speech?
	You can't silence people that want to say stuff like we're saying right now.
	If we had no freedom of speech, we can't even say what we just said right now.
	Because somebody goes, oh, well, listen, these guys are trumpsters.
	This is not a good look.
	We're not sitting here saying we agree.
	So it's not, this is the part where the audience is kind of like, so what are you guys?
	Are you for it?
	Are you not for it?
	No, look, we voted for certain things we want to know.
	But having said that, Vinny, I still understand the idea of knowing, keeping a card because you know they're going to try to destroy you.
	I get that, but I'm not comfortable with any leverage, any negotiations with kids being raped.
	Like if the information is there, we deserve, those kids deserve justice now.
	If it's a leverage tool with Trump and he's biding his time, I am 1,000% not comfortable with that.
	Biting and waiting and like saving it.
	I understand it's a tactic move and he's trying to save it for the end game, but we're talking about kids that are on camera getting raped and they have it.
	And I am 1,000% against that if that's the case.
	There is a reason why there's a, when you choose to become the leader of the free world, there's only 46 people that have been able to do it.
	It's not a job for everybody.
	Okay.
	When you get that job, it's very easy for everybody to act emotionally about everything.
	You're not cut out to be a president.
	You're too emotional to be a president.
	Make sense?
	The job isn't for everybody.
	You're talking to Vinny on that?
	Oh, I would be horrible.
	No, no, no.
	I love America, but I'd have a heart attack in two weeks.
	A guy, you go to war and you say, go kill everybody.
	That's the bad guy.
	That's Vinnie.
	Vinny will get the job.
	Guys, metaphorically speaking, of course.
	But all I'm saying is to be a president, you know, it's kind of like this.
	How do you do with blood?
	Could you be a heart surgeon?
	Yeah, yeah, for sure.
	Doesn't bother you.
	Blood doesn't bother me.
	You can cut skin, open it.
	Do you remember when you were in boot camp and you had to give IV to somebody else?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	How many people passed that when they had to give IV?
	A lot of people were just big guys who would pass that.
	Like you have to give IV to another guy.
	There were linebackers that were passing out left and right.
	But what happened before they went in?
	Oh, it's going to do nothing for me, dog.
	I'm going to be the one to do that, dog.
	I'm going to be tough.
	And I was like, oh, the gangster just passed out.
	What happened to the gangster?
	No.
	There is talking, and then there's, you go in, and you see the blood, and the average person can't handle it.
	And then the surgeon just cuts.
	Boom, boom.
	Can you give me this?
	Boom, boom, boom.
	And so what happened today?
	So can you give me that?
	Boom.
	Can you take this heart over here, put it here, boom?
	Okay, boom.
	Let me see this.
	Boom.
	Only 1% of people can do that job, less than 1%.
	To be a president, it's not 1%.
	It's less than 0.0, 0, 1% can do the job.
	And to be able to do that job, you have to be able to see blood, chaos, travesty, nasty, bunch of stuff, and you're not being emotional to go out and react like an emotional human being.
	It's not the job for everybody.
	I understand what you're saying.
	It's a very noble way of viewing it.
	I am right there with you.
	We're together when something happens with the kids.
	We react in the same exact way.
	But you lose the ability to react that way when you're the president.
	You have to be more intentional.
	I understand.
	Less than 1% of people are going to agree with what I'm saying right now.
	Trust me.
	They're going to be like, this is the part that I'm going to side with Vinny.
	I get it.
	Me too.
	Even though I'm debating, I'm siding.
	But you have to understand, this is a very, very difficult job.
	And there's some faces of this job that you have to be what?
	Do you know what it is?
	Do you know what is one of the most important qualities to be able to be the president of the free world?
	Not level head.
	You have to be ice cold.
	That's what I was just going to say.
	You have to be ice cold.
	Measured is the word.
	No, you have to be ice cold.
	Ice cold to see what they did.
	They did that.
	Is this what they're doing?
	Okay, no problem.
	We'll never forget this.
	But let me tell you what we got going on.
	When is that event coming up?
	In seven months.
	In seven months, we're going to do this, this, and put it in front of their faces so everybody sees it.
	But hang on till the seven months.
	Hang on till the seven months.
	That speech that Trump showed today in front of South Africa yesterday, he showed.
	How long has that been going on?
	Long time.
	How come he didn't show it earlier?
	How come he just showed it now?
	He's known about this.
	Is that a bad person?
	You have to wait till timing.
	You have to wait till timing to take somebody out.
	I watched a movie many years ago by the actor.
	What's his name?
	The guy that played 300.
	What is the guy's name?
	Gerard?
	Gerard Butler.
	Yeah, he played a movie of a guy that I believe killed his daughter.
	Oh, man.
	He kills his daughter.
	Oh, man.
	And this is a regular guy that goes out there and prepares for his vengeance for years.
	This one?
	Law-abiding citizen?
	I don't know if it's that one or not.
	Gerard Butler.
	Gerard Butler.
	Was Jennifer Anderson in it?
	So he prepares for this movie, Revenge.
	Just type in Revenge Movie.
	Gerard Butler revenge movie.
	I think it was him.
	So he does a lot.
	I don't know if that's that.
	So maybe it wasn't Gerard Butler.
	He prepares for this revenge on this guy.
	And he eventually buys a property behind his property of where he works.
	He starts developing a surgery center.
	He learns how to do surgery.
	Then eventually he befriends this guy, brings him in, sets him in there, drinks something, passes out, is laying on the bed, wakes him up to stay awake so he doesn't fall asleep, gives him a medicine, and he conducts surgery while he's alive, feeling everything with the pain, saying, this is what you did to my daughter.
	Jesus.
	That took 10 years.
	That's the movie.
	Law-abiding citizen.
	Yeah.
	Is that the story what I just said?
	Is that the one?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He waits 10 years to do this to the person.
	10 years later, look at this.
	I haven't seen this movie for 15 years.
	This was it.
	10 years later, he gets his revenge on the person that did what they did to his family.
	How soon do you want to, do you think this guy wanted to kill the guy that killed his wife and daughter?
	How soon?
	Tomorrow.
	Yeah.
	But this is the way to do it.
	This is the way to do it.
	And to be that ice cold and patient, it's not for everybody.
	The irrational, emotional person is not capable of running the free world.
	You're just, it's not for everybody.
	It's a very tough job.
	And I understand where he's at.
	I don't understand what Bongino and Cash and some of these other guys are at.
	I respect these guys.
	They're formidable guys in the space, and hopefully they'll come through and do their part.
	But I know where he's at, and he doesn't have a job that's for everybody.
	It's my position.
	I'll go to the next one.
	All right.
	Ron DeSantis.
	Can we talk about this?
	Yeah.
	Ron DeSantis.
	This is from The Guardian.
	Fall from grace.
	He's completely crashed to the ground.
	Okay.
	So let's go over here.
	Crash to the ground.
	Rob, do you have a video on this or what is it?
	I do.
	And this is regarding the Hope Florida investigation into Ron DeSantis.
	What is that, by the way?
	It says it here as well.
	He's lost his grip on the state legislature.
	Florida Republican House Speaker Daniel Perez accusing him of telling lies and stories that never happened and displaying temper tantrums.
	Political science professor Aubrey Jett noted that he's completely crashed to the ground at the point and certainly being treated like a more standard average governor now citing DeSantis autocratic style as a factor.
	DeSantis faced backlash over a $10 million charity scandal involving his wife Casey DeSantis, Hope Florida nonprofit with Perez questioning his transfer to political action committees while DeSantis dismissed the legislative agenda as pathetic.
	Jupiter observed at one point Casey looked like she was going to be their heir apparent to Ron DeSantis, but a potential 2020 gubernatorial run is now challenged by Trump-endorsed Congressman Byron Donalds.
	Rob, what is this?
	This is Governor DeSantis.
	I believe this was yesterday when he signed the stop swatting bill here in the state of Florida to ban swatting incidents where the SWAT teams are called your house under fake premises and they break in your home.
	And this is where he discusses the Hope Florida investigation into he and his wife.
	The $10 million.
	He discusses it?
	Yes, he actually calls out the guy who is opening the investigation.
	Just understand what's going on here.
	Because I think you guys kind of twist and try to create narratives.
	Rob, I can't hear you.
	I can't hear you.
	One statement.
	It's his mic.
	It's the guy's mic.
	It's Ron's mind up.
	And he has a political agenda to try to smear Hope Florida, to try to smear people associated with the administration, even my wife, who's done a great job for this state, by the way.
	Not just on Hope Florida.
	Not just on Hope Florida, saving taxpayers $100 million, getting 30,000 people off means-tested welfare.
	That's show me someone else in this country that has been able to do that.
	Not just that.
	The Cancer Initiative and the Collaborative and the Innovation Fund.
	She obviously has experience with that.
	Also, she led the effort on school mental health.
	She worked with people like Ryan Petty on all this.
	You know how much she's ever gotten from anything she's ever done?
	Not one red cent, not one.
	She has led an initiative to help people.
	And you have one jackass in the legislature.
	I'm sorry, it's true.
	Who's trying to smear her, smear good people?
	And just understand what happened.
	He took documents and he dropped them in a prosecutor's office.
	That is not an organic investigation.
	That's a manufactured political operation.
	That's all this is.
	Somebody with an agenda dropped off documents, and that's all that that custodian of record said.
	There is no basis to do an investigation on these facts.
	Everybody knows it.
	Everybody knows that this is political.
	And I can tell you, she is more determined than ever to make a difference in the lives with Hope Florida.
	I'm more committed to Hope Florida than I've ever been.
	And I think that I'm used to it.
	Okay, Tom, what do you think is going on here, DeSantis?
	Well, there's definitely political stuff going back and forth.
	And I think the guy that he referred to as a jackass, he's talking about the Republican House Speaker Daniel Perez.
	I think so, because Perez says he said the media that he accused DeSantis of, quote, telling lies and stories that never happened and having quote temper tantrums, unquote.
	So that's from Daniel Perez.
	So I had not thought, I have not seen this particular clip.
	In the research I did for this story, I didn't see that.
	And I had thought he was more quiet than that.
	But that was a full-blown defense that you just saw right there.
	And this is political.
	But now the real question is, it can be political and there also can be something there.
	And Hope Florida, you know, it would seem to me that all you have to say is, hey, come audit the books.
	Did 10 million go somewhere that it shouldn't have gone?
	That's all you have to say.
	He dropped it off here.
	He did that.
	That could be true.
	But you can also just say, you know what?
	Let's have a hearing and let's audit this.
	And I'd like DeSantis to see that.
	Now, the other side of it is the guy who said he's completely crashed the ground.
	That's a political science professor saying that.
	And that's an observation.
	That's a pundit observation from the outside.
	So I don't know, but it sure seems like a lot of people are ticked off, including DeSantis.
	And if there's nothing to this, have a hearing, open the books, and clear it up.
	Who runs Hope for Florida Foundation?
	I do, I thought that is Casey DeSantis established it, and she's on the board, along with, as you would imagine, people that have worked with and for the gubernatorial campaigns.
	Foundation was established in August 2023.
	The Hope Foundation nonprofit affiliated with Florida's first lady, Casey DeSantis, is overseen by board of directors as seen.
	2025 board includes Joshua Hay, President Fatima Perez, Tina Vidal Dohert, Stephanie White, Wendy Nissan.
	In 2025, the foundation faced scrutiny over $10 million donation received from a Medicaid settlement with Center Centinine Corporation.
	The funds were subsequently distributed to two nonprofits, which then contributed to political committees opposing a marijuana legislation ballot measure cause Governor DeSantis opposed.
	Amid the controversy, several leadership changes occurred.
	Eric Delenbeck, who had been serving as the executive director of Hope Florida program, resigned from his position in May 2025.
	Board members, Mohamed Jazil and Jake Farmer also resigned from the foundation.
	The foundation's leadership acknowledged opposing these developments are prominent ongoing investigations.
	Yeah, I mean, the easiest thing to do is to just show kind of what happened here, because if you don't, then they're saying this is going to be the bill and the Hillary Clinton of the right.
	That's right.
	This is the last thing you want to do.
	What they're saying, 10 million left and it went to a donation.
	And then those donations went to PACs.
	You can't do that.
	You're bouncing the money.
	You see what I mean?
	It's like if I gave you $5 million and I said, oh, I just paid Vinny a consulting fee for two years for media and other things like that.
	And then you turned around and donated that to a PAC that was supporting something that, and I'm screaming about education in schools, and you gave it to a PAC that's putting money out there for education in schools.
	You see that?
	Conflict of interest.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, and it also kind of the way money, this is what we've talked about in Ukraine.
	Yeah, money goes to Ukraine and it comes back into U.S. PACs or it comes back into U.S. defense contractors that then really like Senator O'Shaughnessy for some reason.
	Vote for me.
	And so if you're supposed to just show it and say that's not what happened.
	I guess there is a guy that knows you're going to get caught with this.
	Tim, wasn't he a lawyer in the military?
	He was a jag.
	He was a jag.
	Lawyer.
	Yep.
	Wasn't he?
	I mean, he's a judge advocate general.
	Yeah, he's been doing this for a minute.
	Doesn't he know this is probably not a good idea?
	The last thing you want to be is the Bill and Hillary Clinton of the right.
	You don't want this to be your white water.
	No, you run.
	So, anyways, I'll give my final thoughts.
	Adam, your thoughts on this before?
	This seems like a job for Dogeman to show up and figure out what the hell's going on here.
	Dogeman.
	Because this is not a good look for DeSantis.
	Then again, could this just be a political hijab?
	There's some truth to this.
	I don't know.
	Here's what I do know.
	In 2024, legalization of marijuana was on the ballot in Florida, and it's been inching closer and closer and closer in Florida.
	And it failed yet again.
	And it passed in Nebraska, which is, I would assume, a little bit more conservative than Florida.
	So I don't know what the hell is going on with these initiatives, but in my opinion, I would like to see marijuana legalized in Florida.
	I think marijuana is a way less addictive, way less dangerous substance than alcohol.
	I think the worst thing you can do on marijuana is like not do shit for a little bit.
	Okay, enough for marijuana.
	Do you think it hurts or helps DeSantis?
	I would love you to do one of your bong noises right now to coincide with this.
	But this is not a good look for DeSantis or Casey.
	And I don't know what's going on with them.
	Let me tell you.
	Let me tell you.
	But Byron Donalds is running for governor.
	So we'll see what he has to say.
	Here's a challenge I have with this here.
	He doesn't give me the vibes that he's capable of doing something like this.
	So, look, a lot of DeSantis people cannot stand me.
	They cannot stand me because they blame me for the end of his campaign.
	And you, the last day his campaign was, we came on your podcast and, you know, everybody talked about the shoe gate and all boot gate and all this stuff.
	And you're the one that did this.
	Okay, I got it.
	Trust me, I get a till today.
	DeSantis people walk up to me and we talk and all this other stuff.
	I said, don't blame his lack of marketing on me one podcast.
	Okay.
	He made very bad moves when it comes down to marketing.
	But as much as I see that as a terrible marketer, I don't see the guy doing something like this.
	I don't see him as a criminal.
	I don't see him as doing anything like this.
	Now, let me give you the other part that is a problem sometimes, which is why I prefer people who have been in business and have made money that eventually have high-level positions that they're running states.
	You know why I like that?
	Because when you run a business, you've gone through plenty of lawsuits and you've had issues and you've made money and you're not tempted to for $100,000 or half a million dollars or $5 million or $2 million.
	You know, you're like, whatever.
	I don't need any of that stuff.
	I'm already made the money.
	I don't need the money from you, right?
	It allows you to be a little bit free.
	But sometimes when you're in moments like this, how many parties do you think he's gone to where he's around rich people?
	Some of them.
	All of them.
	And how many times do you think he comes home with his wife and he's like, you know what?
	When are we going to have some money?
	You know what?
	Why don't we do this?
	Everybody else does this.
	Why don't we do it?
	So they're doing this.
	How about we make some money?
	It's about time with all the service that we make some money here.
	And I don't even know how to make money here.
	How's the money made here, Tom?
	What does this do?
	Like, can we find out what her salary is with Hope Florida Initiative?
	Kickback.
	That's always the issue with nonprofits, a salary and then getting paid to speak.
	Yeah.
	What is Casey DeSantis' income from Hope?
	It should be public, right?
	From Hope.
	What is it called?
	Hope Florida.
	What is it called?
	Hope.
	Give me the name.
	Hope Florida.
	Hope Florida.
	Oh, it's not telling you?
	Does it show you what her salary is?
	It says First Lady Casey DeSantis does not receive a salary from the Hope Florida Foundation.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Look, I spent some time with him and three, four hours just to watch how she is.
	They don't give me the vibe that they're doing this.
	They give me the vibe that they love America.
	They give me the vibe that they're very ambitious.
	They give me the vibe that he's a very good fighter, that he fights.
	He's just not as good of a marketer and stage guy as Trump is.
	He's not.
	And by the way, this could also be some of the people that are wanting more Byron Donalds than him to win.
	This could be a very simple, you know, little thing that you throw in there that, you know, adds that they're talking about it.
	But there's no reason to shoot at him politically because there's just going to be a lot of this works, though.
	I know it does, but Casey can't run because this goes with her.
	And they want Casey to run.
	And by the way, I'm not even a fan of Casey running.
	I'm not even like, you know, I see that angle.
	So they neutralize.
	Yeah, they're trying to eliminate her running.
	It's actually a good strategy, but it's deceptive and dark.
	Yeah.
	And you got to get ahead of it.
	There is 5% chance that I believe they're capable of doing something this dumb to tarnish a good reputation that they have.
	Do they have a reputation of being arrogant and not calling Trump?
	Yes.
	Do they have a reputation of being a little bit insecure and trying to seem bigger than they really are?
	Yes.
	But do they have a reputation of running the state incredibly well during COVID and making the world want to come here?
	Yes.
	So I have a hard time with this one.
	I have a hard time with this one.
	But, you know, if there's proof, there's proof.
	If she's not taking any income, so how did this financially benefit?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I don't know what's going on here.
	But we'll find out.
	We'll find out as stories come out.
	Okay, let's go to the next story.
	California, we haven't forgotten about you guys.
	Every time we don't do stories about California, people in California get upset.
	Let us do a story for you guys to excite you a little bit.
	State Farm not satisfied with the 17% rate hike in California.
	They're asking for nearly 30%.
	And you know, California politicians are not going to be okay with this, but Tom's got an opinion on this.
	So the 17% hike, California homeowners plans to request an additional 11% to get nearly to 30%.
	San Francisco Chronicle reported a week after securing approval to raise home insurance rates by 17%.
	State Farm General revealed plans to ask regulations for an additional 11% following an emergency approval by Commissioner Ricardo Laura due to recent LA fires.
	California wildfire victims criticized State Farm for low ball and damage estimates.
	A practice Senator Josh Hawley said the company has been accused of in other U.S. disasters.
	Despite this, Laura granted the 70% hike, 17% hike effective June, though State Farm originally sought 30% increase in June 2024, Tom.
	Well, the story won't die.
	And the reason it won't die is because the problem can't die easy and it won't die easy.
	And so State Farm is saying, I need more money to run my company effectively and provide coverage in California.
	And I think State Farm was frustrated that they didn't get the increase they wanted, but they saw the backlash.
	They saw what's going on in the media.
	They saw that the consumer, the people that were surveyed was like, hell no, I don't want to be put on FairPlan by accident.
	So it's like, Pat, you and I could own houses in Malibu and get forced on the FairPlan.
	Now we have no choice.
	And we're like, wait, we don't want to be on FairPlan.
	Sorry, dude, you get FairPlan, which has a cap, remember?
	Cap of $3 million to $3.5 million.
	I think it's being raised to four of coverage for your house.
	So, Vinny, if you're forced to go on FairPlan and you have a $10 million house in Malibu, guess what happens?
	Burns the ground, you get $4 million, $3 million from FairPlan, and the rest you eat because you're rich and you can afford it.
	But there's a lot of people that are frustrated by that.
	And so I think State Farm read the tea leaves and said, you know, if we leave California, Newsom and everybody here have got more trouble.
	And let's face it, State Farm wants to operate at a profit, but they have paid out record amount of dollars.
	Now, to Josh Hawley's point, have those payouts been fair for each and every policyholder?
	Like, did you, you needed $400 for your house and they said, here's $360, take her to leave it.
	And you had to eat the $40.
	You know, that happens a lot with adjusters.
	But this is State Farm saying, look, you want me to, there's a little bit of State Farm can do this at gunpoint now.
	And there's a little bit of California kind of screwed this thing up.
	And then, and now you've got this playing out.
	This wouldn't be happening if California had good management of the infrastructure systems, of the water systems, or reservoir systems, a well and a well-vetted and well-equipped fire department.
	They would have been ready for this.
	Would the wind driving those fires still have caused tremendous damage?
	Yes, but would have been tremendously less.
	And you wouldn't have State Farm on the brink of leaving the state, which puts all these people in a pinch.
	So, you know what?
	I'd love to see, you know, because I have sat down with people that have brought me business plans.
	So is Pat.
	I'd love Gavin Newsom to sit down and say, look, you've got aspirations to run on a national stage, but what's your business plan for California?
	How do you make this work?
	Take me through the plan.
	How do you deal with the big three in California, which right now is border, you know, homelessness, insurance?
	Those are like the three that are bouncing around, regardless of who you survey.
	I'd love to see Gavin Newsome sit down with somebody and talk about what are you going to do and, you know, set aside some of your hand gestures and stuff and just sit down and say, here's the fix for insurance in California.
	Because I, you know, I got a lot of friends that still live there that are asking that exact question.
	Adam.
	So it really sucks to live in California from a math perspective.
	I get it that there's mountains and there's beaches and it's, you can ski and surf in the safe day, but to live and to afford California, show me how the math is mathing on this one, guys.
	Here are just some quick numbers for you.
	The median household income for America is $80,000.
	The median household income in California is $90,000.
	Okay, so it's a $10,000 difference.
	Now, let's talk about homeownership.
	The average homeownership of America is between $400,000 and $500,000.
	So if you're looking at a home in California, that's going to cost you between $800,000 and $900,000.
	So it's almost double the price of a house in the rest of America, but the average income is 20% more.
	How the hell do you afford to live in California?
	What opinion do you have specifically about this?
	So now you own this house and now you can barely afford it.
	So now you have to pay 30% premium on insurance that you didn't even necessarily account for.
	So this is just a math issue.
	You know what this reminds me of?
	It's almost like the reverse COVID thing.
	Let me ask you this, though.
	But here's your question.
	You're the governor of Florida.
	You're the governor of California.
	Sure.
	All right.
	I'm State Farm.
	And I tell you, hey, Gavin, respectfully, if we can't go to 30%, I'm at a loss.
	My board is not going to let me stay here.
	I have to leave the state and I'm going to have to give you 12 months.
	So I can't afford to pay all these fire stuff that just happened and I can't comfortably stay here.
	It's costing the company a lot of money and it's making it very challenging.
	So what can we do here?
	Well, is State Farm the only option?
	They have a few options, but they've lost a lot of options.
	Who else have we lost?
	You want to know how many they've lost a handful of options.
	A lot of options.
	But you already know you have a homeowner's insurance problem in the state of California.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So, you know, what business are we in?
	We're in the insurance business, but not only in the insurance business, we're in the brokerage business, right?
	So what happens when only one carrier is the only option?
	Well, you're going to get screwed because you only have one option.
	One of the best things in life is having options.
	So you work through a wholesaler or a BJA or an agent.
	So right here, let me just say that.
	It says you have 10 different options.
	In 2022, all state paused sales of new homeowners and insurance in California due to wildfire risk and higher operational costs.
	This is 2022 before the fire.
	Farmers Insurance Group began limiting coverage in California in 2023.
	And one of its subsidiaries, Farmers Direct Property and Casualty Company, withdrew from the state entirely later that year, nationwide.
	A company informed California in 2023 that it would stop renewing all of its homeowners insurance policies in the state by June of 2025.
	Next month, Chubb announced in 2021 it would significantly reduce homeowners coverage in California, pointing to wildfire risk.
	Hartford stopped writing new homeowners insurance policies early 2024.
	This is a year ago.
	American National announced in 2023 it would stop offering homeowners insurance policies in California.
	Travelers announced it would not renew homeowners insurance policies for thousands of California properties in 2022 and 2023 due to wildfire risk.
	This is all before the big fire that happened in Malibu Palace Verde.
	So your options, they're all leaving.
	Exactly.
	So what do you do?
	You're the governor.
	So listen, what's the basic premise of economics?
	Supply and demand.
	Demand is super high because you need homeowners' insurance because, you know, fires are burning down your house and the supply is completely limited.
	So who gets screwed here?
	The average person that just wants a house.
	How the hell can they afford it?
	That was my initial point.
	Is that the homeownership already costs so much?
	I'm going to answer my question.
	get your argument what do you do if you're newsome in the time what do you do if you're newsome in this situation Gavin Newsom, I have to.
	I ask you publicly.
	We're doing the interview, similar to the way Megan Kelly did with Jake Tapper.
	You asked the question.
	State Farm goes to 17.
	They're still at a loss, okay?
	They are still at a loss.
	If you don't take them to 30, they're shutting down like nationwide, like farmers, like all state, like others.
	What are you going to do, Governor?
	If I'm Newsome, this is not a politically good answer, but this is what he has to say.
	And I'm not going to imitate him.
	You can do that, Benny.
	But he's got to say, there's going to be some short-term pain because I got to give State Farm the rate increase.
	And I'm meeting with all the insurance companies and I'm talking about a multi-billion dollar plan for forestry management and reservoir management.
	And I'm putting these things in place in these bordered areas so that we can reduce the risk of loss when wildfires happen.
	And I'm putting pressure on PG ⁇ E for more active forestry management in the smaller communities, like where they had those wildfires and entire communities of 3,000, 4,000 homes were wiped out.
	So I have to put it in two sides.
	California, we're going to have pain, but I am because I got to authorize this.
	Otherwise, you don't have carriers to offer it.
	I'm going to talk to the other carriers and I'm going to show them what California is doing with active programs to reduce the risk of loss because wildfires will happen, but we can have reservoirs.
	We can have more fire teams.
	We can have response rates that are going to be there to react to it so that reduce the loss.
	If I'm governor, that's what I have to do.
	And I got to sit down with travelers and say, will you at least renew?
	So now I'm going to turn around with the question with Gavin Newsom, and you're the governor.
	I'm going to say, that's a great answer, and that's fair.
	But let me show you this other thing here.
	This is as of seven months ago, 10 months ago.
	California is home to nearly 40 million people, 55% of whom are estimated to own homes.
	If you are a current prospective California homeowner, finding home insurance may be a challenge.
	In fact, the California Association of Realtors 2023 annual housing market survey found that nearly 7% of real estate deals in the state fell out of escrow because buyers couldn't afford insurance.
	So Gavin Newsom, question for you.
	If State Farm is asking for a 17% rate, that means with their current rate, 7% of buyers are still falling through.
	What will this 7% be if you allow State Farm to raise their insurance policy prices, which they have to, 30%?
	What is that 7% going to be?
	I have analysts in my office looking at this and we're hoping to cut that in half.
	How are you going to do it?
	Because you have to get carriers that are willing to write the insurance.
	You're talking politics, but you're talking politics.
	So this is the part that he has a very, very big problem at his hand, and I don't know, quite frankly, what he's going to do with it.
	So Adam, unless if you have an answer, I'm going to the next one.
	So you say all the time that bad policies have consequences.
	These are the consequences of basically all the policies that have led to this.
	If you want an answer, you know, how did you end up in Texas?
	You got recruited for the most part.
	You tell the story about Governor, I think it was Rick Perry at the time that took you to, I think, a baseball game and a Mayor and Ryan.
	I was afraid of Frisco at the time, an expansion-minded mayor named Masso.
	Thank you.
	They recruited.
	So if I'm Gavin Newsom, I need to go back hat in hand to the rest of these carriers and start recruiting.
	You've been in the insurance business for 20 plus years.
	You understand what it means to have relationships with a multitude of carriers.
	Adam, I heard that already, but what I'm saying is.
	You need a recruit.
	You need a recruit.
	They're not coming.
	They're not coming.
	Then you need to bring them back.
	No, you need to figure out.
	But you don't understand what I'm saying to you, Adam.
	On one end, if you don't allow the insurance company to raise their rates 30%, they're leaving.
	On the other end, if you allow them to increase the rates of going up 30% for them to be profitable, if you do that, homeowners are not buying houses.
	This is a double-edged sword for the state of California that is not going to be addressed that quickly.
	This is not going to be addressed.
	This is a travesty.
	This is catastrophic.
	This is not something small.
	This is 20 years in the middle.
	This is not something.
	This is why I'm going to.
	And guys, I don't mean to push you guys around and check.
	What I'm trying to get to is there is no answer to this, right?
	What would you do?
	He doesn't have it.
	So you tricked me.
	Of course.
	No matter what I said, you're like, no.
	There is nothing, unless if you guys come up with a creative idea, there is nothing he can do here.
	Oh, here's an idea.
	Run for president and get the hell out of California, Newsom.
	But do you know what the real, real answer is here?
	You know what the real answer is here?
	If you have to choose between the two pills, which one do you take?
	Allow the insurance companies to raise the rates or now that 7% becomes 20% of people are not buying their homes because they can't afford homeowners' insurance.
	Which of those two pills do you take?
	You got to raise the rates.
	Because guess what?
	You know why you got to raise the rates?
	Because I'm not buying a house if I don't have insurance because I don't think you're taking care of the fire stuff anytime soon.
	Nope.
	I don't know if you're taking care of the earthquakes anytime soon.
	Why would I buy a home without a homeowner's insurance?
	I'm not going to be doing that.
	There's a name for it, they call, right?
	What do they call it?
	The people that free freeball.
	Fair plan?
	No, no, no.
	There's a name for people that go.
	Yeah, they're freeballing.
	There was a name for it.
	They don't even do fair or anything.
	There's a term they use in California.
	No, no.
	There's a term they use in California for those who go without having homeowners' insurance.
	There's a term they use.
	I don't know what the term is called.
	There's a term for it.
	That's just rolling the dice.
	No, there's a term they use.
	Anyways, okay.
	So that's California.
	Why the hell would you buy a house at this point?
	Let me go to the next story here about what President Trump did.
	Rob, what page is the one with the Golden Dome?
	What page is the one with the Golden Dome?
	I don't know if we have it here or now.
	Golden Dome is page four.
	All right, let's go through Golden Dome.
	Obviously, dude, Adam, Vinnie, and Tom had strong opinions about this.
	Trump unveils ambitious and expensive plans for Golden Dome, Vinny, missile defense.
	So this is what Israel had.
	But I love the way he did this deal.
	I absolutely love the way he did this deal.
	Rob, please play the clip.
	I'm pleased to announce that we have officially selected an architecture for this state-of-the-art system that will deploy next generation technologies across the land, sea, and space, including space-based sensors and interceptors.
	And Canada has called us and they want to be a part of it.
	So we'll be talking to them.
	They want to have protection also.
	So as usual, we help Canada the best we can.
	This design for the Golden Dome will integrate with our existing defense capabilities and should be fully operational before the end of my term.
	So we'll have it done in about three years.
	Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides of the world and even if they're launched from space.
	And we will have the best system ever built.
	As you know, we helped Israel with theirs and was very successful.
	And now we have technology that's even far advanced from that, but including hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, and advanced cruise missiles, all of them will be knocked out of the air.
	We will truly be completing the job that President Reagan started 40 years ago, forever ending the missile threat to the American homeland.
	And the success rate is very close to 100%, which is incredible when you think of it.
	You're shooting bullets out of the air.
	I'm also pleased to report that the one big beautiful bill will include $25 billion for the Golden Dome to help construction get underway.
	That's the initial sort of a down positive.
	And we have probably you're talking about, General, we're talking about $175 billion total cost of this when it's completed.
	Okay.
	So, Tom, thoughts on this?
	Well, there was a comment.
	First of all, I like it.
	We have to do this.
	And if anybody has seen what the Iron Dome has done to protect the citizens of Israel who have all these rocket attacks coming at them and what they've done and how they've been protecting it, you can see these are the kind of defense systems that work.
	And thank goodness that they exist.
	And now we're just talking about taking it to next generation, next generation.
	And by the way, I love the quote.
	Now, it's not that I love the quote like I like the quote.
	It was very ironic quote from the foreign ministry spokesperson of China, Mao Ning, who goes by Mao.
	Gee, that's appropriate.
	He said, quote, the U.S. by putting itself first and being obsessed with pursuing absolute security.
	Yeah, yeah, protecting our citizens, right?
	He continues, this violates the principle and diminishes the security for all and undermines global strategic balance and stability.
	Wait a minute.
	It doesn't undermine balance.
	It helps ensure balance because you're trying to build stuff like this.
	You're investing in this.
	China is saying this.
	You're undermining the balance.
	Yeah, the balance with your thumb on the scale, Mao, and the underlying global stability.
	No, you're undermining stability.
	We're bringing stability back because when the Pershing missiles were threatened to go to Germany, the Berlin Wall came down.
	There's a lot of things that came before Reagan's speech.
	Reagan's speech was tremendous and it was a challenge.
	But guess what?
	It brought stability and balance into Europe.
	And this brings security to the U.S. People can talk about, oh, well, it's unproven technology.
	Well, that's what the money is for, is to go do it.
	But it's pretty comical to have Mao from China saying, oh, the U.S. putting itself first and being obsessed with the personal security of its citizen is undermining global balance and stability.
	That statement alone says a lot about their motives.
	Oh, my gosh.
	Oh, nothing to see here.
	Revealing, revealing insecurity and concern of ways they'd want to attack.
	Adam, you've been to Israel many times.
	Oh, yeah.
	And you've been, have you ever been there where there's an attack and seen what happens with the dome?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	What does it look like?
	But actually, I'm not saying this is like I've experienced it all.
	It happens all the time.
	Rob, look what I just sent you.
	These are just typical.
	This is my buddy who's in Israel as we speak.
	This is a Tuesday.
	And he goes, these are the missiles the Iron Dome just intercepted on a Tuesday.
	So people want to understand what's like, who's Israel fighting?
	It's the same enemy that America will be fighting if we don't recognize the danger of radical jihadist terrorists all around the world.
	Imagine you're in San Diego and Mexico shooting missiles, whether it's Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis.
	Rob, there's multiple images.
	I don't know if you have more than that.
	That's the major city of Tel Aviv.
	Do you see how many missiles are flowing?
	This is not casual, guys.
	You're in San Diego.
	You're in Miami.
	Cuba.
	Cuban missile crisis almost at the war over it.
	So, he does this.
	He wants to do it here.
	So, yeah.
	So, people understand what's the strange relationship that Israel has with America.
	Well, we sort of helped fund the Iron Dome.
	And there's been many questions.
	Why are we funding a foreign country?
	Why are we doing this?
	Well, it's called, let's see how it works over there when people are getting bombed on a daily basis, missiles on a daily basis.
	See what works, see what doesn't work.
	And now, when we bring it here to America, we'll know the pros, the cons, the leaks, the opportunities of what we're going to build here.
	So, Israel's on the front lines of exactly what the United States is preparing with this golden dome.
	I think it's amazing what Trump is doing.
	And they used Israel as a tester startup example of what works and what doesn't work.
	Here's what I like about the way he did the deal: $25 billion to start off, going to end up costing $175 billion.
	He's making Canada participate and pay for a portion of it.
	Why?
	Because Canada's military expenditure is only 1.2, 0.3% of their GDP.
	We're around 3.5%.
	Mexico's 0.7%.
	So the way he's doing the deal is great.
	Canada's going to pay for it as well.
	Carney has apparently agreed to do this.
	And then the way he says it, when is it going to get done?
	Did you see when it was going to get done?
	Right before the end of his term.
	Why does it get done right before the end of his term?
	Weird.
	It is kind of weird.
	By the way, in your opinion, why are we creating this?
	Meaning, what countries or organizations are we most worried about would potentially shoot missiles?
	Yeah, this is life insurance.
	You're not doing it because of anything.
	You're just buying insurance.
	But go there.
	What countries do we fear that would potentially do this?
	Who's the first person that reacted to it?
	China.
	Wow.
	I mean, China reacted to it, right?
	Who else?
	I don't know if it's that many.
	I don't know if it's that many.
	I have four on my list.
	Okay, who do you have?
	China, Russia, Iran, and who's your first?
	I have in a very particular order.
	I have North Korea last of these four.
	I have Russia third.
	I have China second.
	And first, and it's not even close, is Iran.
	Why is Iran the most dangerous, in my opinion?
	Because they believe in the afterlife.
	They don't believe in life.
	They'll take us all to heaven or hell to go see Allah and not even blink twice.
	China, what's the religion in China?
	Nothing.
	They believe in the state, communism.
	What's the religion in Russia?
	I don't know, whatever Putin allows you to do.
	North Korea, they pray to the dictator.
	Okay, yeah, well, allegedly.
	Well, Russian Orthodox.
	Iran, they will take everybody to hell in a handbasket and not even think twice.
	They're playing by a completely different set of rules.
	Does China have nukes?
	Yeah, China has nukes.
	Iran doesn't have China has to have.
	Not that we know about.
	China has to be number one.
	And that's why.
	China is our biggest threat, hands down, plain and simple.
	And mind you, those spy balloons that were flying over.
	I know Biden reversed a bunch of policies that Trump made.
	And by the way, Trump made Space Force for a reason.
	Everything is strategic with him.
	And guess what?
	I did some research.
	You know what?
	China's way of dropping an EMP, which mind you, it's only a matter of time until they go after the grid.
	That's how they do it, Tom.
	They fly these balloons because they can't really be detected and they drop them at high altitude and a large area is finished.
	Adam, I get it.
	Iran is bad as history.
	Nuclear creates that electrical pulse you can read about in physics that neutralizes things that are passing electricity.
	Yeah.
	Iran, yeah, screaming, but yo, China's been at war with us and they have all multiple fronts.
	The brainwashing of the kids, the flying the balloons, the monitoring, they're trying to screw us over with money, COVID.
	By the way, say what you want about all these things.
	If your enemy, the weapon of militaries is the nuclear sub.
	Yes.
	That is the weapon.
	And Iran has 19 subs.
	They have a reasonable, not a formidable, reasonable navy, but China and Russia have formidable navies.
	Exactly.
	And you don't want Iran to have nukes and then now have a nuclear sub where you can get pretty far with.
	Let me go to a story that I think all of you guys have opinions on.
	Israel preparing to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, even as Trump tries to negotiate the deal, report says.
	Okay, so Rob, if you can, if you have a clip, I don't know if you have a clip on this.
	No, you don't.
	Okay.
	Israel, U.S. intelligence officials, this is from New York Post, cited by CNN, report Israel is preparing a possible strike on Iran's nuclear facility with a source stating the chance of an Israel strike on an Iranian nuclear facility has gone up significantly in recent months.
	And a prospect of a Trump negotiated U.S.-Iran deal that doesn't remove all of Iran's uranium makes the chances of a strike more likely.
	Interceptor messages and Israel military movements, including air munitions and exercises, indicate an imminent attack despite President Trump's diplomatic efforts.
	Israel feels caught between a rock and a hard place due to the stated stalled U.S.-Iran talks with former intelligence officer Jonathan Panakov noting, at the end of the day, the Israeli decision-making is going to be predicated on U.S. policy determinations and actions and what agreement President Trump does or does not come to with Iran.
	Adam.
	Vinny, you go first.
	Go ahead.
	Let me just, I'm setting Rob's.
	Okay, well, listen, Trump is trying to work out a deal to keep things from spiraling.
	All right.
	He's working on diplomacy.
	That's the angle, the anti-war angle, and trying to avoid another pointless war.
	Okay.
	And Israel is moving like they don't give a damn.
	And I get it.
	Iran is bad.
	Let's put that to the side.
	But like diplomacy is just a stall tactic.
	And what they really want is strikes.
	Okay.
	Bib's, it's not like he's hiding it.
	He wants us and them to go to war with Iran.
	You guys remember last week when I reported about Mike Waltz using the Israeli signal chat?
	What was he doing?
	He wasn't messing around.
	He was in contact with Israeli officials that they were discussing national policy, Iran being on the forefront, and he was trying to quietly help persuade to pull us in a conflict that we're watching unfold in front of our eyes.
	Okay.
	But even with them gone, Israel's acting like they're still going to move without us.
	The reports are coming out that Bibi and Trump, they're not really cool.
	They're not really on talking terms.
	But listen, this Iran strikes, it's going to lead to a freaking war.
	Israel's our allies.
	We're going to get dragged into this shit.
	I don't want any American troops or any other war.
	Trump is trying to avoid it at all costs.
	But Bibi, if Bibi wants it, Bibi's going to get it.
	If he wants to do it, good luck.
	Go do your thing.
	Okay.
	Don't be dragging us into that shit because we know that's what's going to come out.
	And I don't care about any other country except America.
	And I want zero, zero American troops to be in harm's way because of a guy that's been begging for a war.
	Yes, they're bad and there's other ways to take care of Iran, but bombing and starting another war, I'm not a fan of it at all, period.
	Adam.
	Well, listen, Trump and Bibi Netanyahu, I think they're on the same page.
	They have aligned interests, but they don't have the exact same interests.
	So you're going to disagree with an ally of yours.
	You're not going to agree on everything because there's two totally different things going on here.
	Trump, at his fiber of his being, he's a deal maker.
	He wants to make a deal.
	He wants to show, yeah, that deal that Obama did was a bad deal.
	I want to put together a good deal.
	Trump wants to win.
	Bibi Netanyahu, he's worried about his existence.
	You've heard the term existential threat?
	Iran is an existential threat to not only Israel, to the rest of the world, to the rest of the region.
	Why do you think that Saudi Arabia, why do you think even Qatar, why do you think UAE is so keen to do a deal here?
	Because they know that the threat to the Western civilization or to the modernization of the world is the Islamic regime in Iran.
	So Trump's concern is not as extreme as Bibi Netanyahu's.
	So would Trump like to see a deal?
	Hell yeah.
	Would Netanyahu like to see some function of a deal?
	Hell yeah.
	But if a deal isn't done, in my opinion, there's one thing that the Israeli government, whether it's left, right, center, is not going to allow happen, and that is the Islamic Republic of Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
	We all know that they have allegedly taken out some of the scientists, the nuclear scientists.
	They go missing.
	They take these people out.
	They all know that they have taken down some of their defense missile capabilities.
	So the next logical step is if someone's an existential threat, when someone tells you who they are, believe them, death to America, death to Israel.
	There's a clock.
	I don't know if you can find this.
	There's a clock in Iran, and it's the Israel death clock.
	So you're not, this is what I was talking about earlier.
	You're not dealing with logical actors.
	They believe in jihad.
	They believe in Sharia law.
	They believe in the afterlife.
	And if that's what you believe, you're willing to take out everybody around you to accomplish that goal.
	Here's Iran's doomsday clock for Israel's end.
	Well, ironically, it ran out of power right there.
	But they're an existential threat.
	And yeah, they might be coming for Israel, but they're also coming for the Western world.
	And do you see these stories, by the way?
	It's shifting gears about people just out there saying they're Islamifying churches now.
	Because in my opinion, you correct me if I'm wrong.
	First, they come for the Saturday people, the Jews, and then they're coming for the Sunday people, buddy.
	That's you guys.
	So you might be thinking, well, look, you know, just let them deal with the Jews.
	That's no big deal.
	You think they're stopping there, my Christian friends, my Catholic friends?
	They're coming for you next.
	And the useful idiots dialect.
	And then they're going to recruit.
	Go ahead and play the clip.
	Dumb Americans.
	Go ahead.
	Who's this guy?
	We are buying these churches.
	We bought three churches so far, converted them to masjids.
	And now we have one we are buying with a school to make it, because we have to serve the same people.
	The people who were part of that community, one day they will be Muslims.
	So we'll make it into a masjid and an Islamic school for our children and their children, inshallah.
	100 years ago, they invaded the Muslim world and they built missionary schools and destroyed Islamic schools and masjids.
	Today, we bring the favor back, turn their churches into masjids and their schools into Islamic schools, bring the light of Islam to here.
	We're able to buy ready-to-go institutions that have been there for a long time, but they emptied out.
	And now it is time to be filled with Muslims, with reverts, converts.
	This is an election year.
	But we're not going to be happy with either candidate.
	We have to be happy when Islam becomes the best candidate for us.
	I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give Islam the victory in this country.
	Tom, your thoughts on what's going on with Israel, Iran, Israel attacking Iran.
	Are you uncomfortable with it?
	Where are you at with that?
	No, look, the fact that it's in a headline doesn't mean that it's not happening if there's no headline.
	The U.S. and Israel strategically work to neutralize assets all the time.
	And it just happened that Soleimani and a motorcade around the back of a airport was a high visibility target.
	And, you know, that missile made a loud sound.
	But there are underlings and people that are getting neutralized all the time.
	You see, just and so I do not believe for a minute that the U.S. and the UK, by the way, even though the UK is teetering because of its government, they are still supporting the neutralization of the nuclear capability.
	And, you know, if the rumor is that Israel is going to do it, Israel may do it, but the dog don't go off the leash unless we unclip it.
	And the U.S. is right there with it.
	You know, so Israel is not going to be acting alone on there because to take out centrifuges and capabilities, that's in everybody's interest.
	And we're right there with them.
	And so do I think that there's where there's smoke, there's fire, that there's something cooking here.
	If our intelligence tells us that they are really close on the systems and everything where they can do that with the uranium, now you've got core.
	It's not terribly hard to build the bomb around it.
	And then you just deploy the bomb, which is why Japan's been getting so nervous for the past 15 years, which North Korea keeps building slightly better and slightly better and slightly better, you know, missiles that they casually launch into the water.
	And South Korea is even more concerned than Japan.
	And South Korea is like, that thing just flew by us and everybody's concerned about it.
	So, and that, and that's why, what did Trump do?
	Trump went over there and talked to the kid, right?
	In North Korea, Kim Jong-un?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	The kid?
	Yeah.
	Because his dad was more bonkers.
	So what do I think?
	I think that you have to neutralize what's going on there in terms of nuclear capability.
	What if Israel doesn't listen?
	What if Israel says we're going to do it anyways?
	Without Trump, without Trump's approval, and after a week after they were trying to go behind his back to push him to go and fight.
	What if they don't listen?
	Well, why would they have to listen?
	Meaning, what do you mean?
	I want to hear this.
	I'll tell you.
	Hang on a second.
	I actually agree.
	Well, go ahead.
	What if Israel's like, dude, we're going to attack?
	There's half of our government will be very happy about that.
	More than the hawks.
	And the other half of our government will be, you know, gritting its teeth and hoping that it's a surgical destruction of it and everybody else stands down.
	Adam thoughts.
	Listen.
	What is this, by the way, put up here?
	This is a senior Hamas official basically saying that this is why they advocate for the war because they play down the significance of the casualties in Gaza.
	He says, you know, there's been our women's wombs will produce many more babies.
	50,000 or 50,000 people were born in Gaza during the war, just like the number of casualties.
	Thanks to the war, Westerners convert to Islam.
	U.S. students support Palestine liberation from the river to the sea.
	Useful idiots.
	So back to the initial question about the Iran.
	Why would they listen?
	I don't think we fully understand in America there's a big difference between the Midwest and the Middle East.
	In the Middle East, unfortunately, the reality of life there, in many cases, it's killer be killed.
	It's eater be eaten.
	It's a totally different world of what's going on in the Middle East.
	It's so funny.
	I never saw any protests on any college campuses when hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, were dead in Syria, in Yemen, in Sudan to this day.
	Nothing.
	Zero.
	Zero protests.
	Zero.
	But when Israel gets attacked and they try to basically eliminate Hamas, it's a genocide.
	We all know what's happening.
	It's been fooled.
	And the smartest people at the nicest college campuses on the world have been fooled.
	So as far as your exact question about why would Israel listen, I think they will listen, listen, listen, listen, up to the point where they're like, we can't listen anymore because they're a week away from a bomb and it's us or them.
	By the way, here's a little fun question.
	Do you think Israel has a nuke right now today?
	Of course.
	Do you think they have one?
	Of course I do.
	Okay.
	Of course I do.
	Almost.
	Okay, so if, of course, they have it, if they're so interested in doing genocide, why don't they do it?
	Because if Israel launched a nuclear weapon at them at anybody, who's just going to everybody has nukes.
	Who's going to launch a nukes?
	Not everybody has nukes.
	The majority, the major, like us or China.
	But if they're saying if Israel nuked Iran or nuked Gaza, Iran doesn't have a weapon.
	The Gazans have missiles.
	They could do this, but they have no interest in this.
	Well, they know that the whole conversation about this.
	But nobody wants that.
	But when you say everyone has nukes, no, nobody in the Middle East has nukes.
	Only Pakistan.
	And they're more concerned about India.
	Believe that.
	So when you say, well, everybody has it.
	No, they don't.
	The majority.
	But if Israel was interested in using it, if they had nukes, they would do it.
	What's the whole conversation about, you know, if Israel puts their guns down, if the militants put their guns down, there'll be peace.
	If Israel puts their weapons down, there'll be a slaughter.
	You know the conversation that Joe Rogan had with Tim Kennedy?
	Yeah.
	Do you know that?
	Have you ever seen this clip?
	Can we play this?
	I fully believe in this.
	I agree with that.
	I don't know.
	Where are you going right now?
	You're saying what?
	You're saying if Israel has nuclear warheads, I think both Israel and Iran have them.
	I don't think Iran has them yet.
	I think they have.
	You want to know why I don't think they have them?
	Tell me.
	Because they would use them.
	Straight up.
	Then it'd be the end of everybody.
	I don't think so.
	Does North Korea have nuclear weapons?
	They do.
	Okay, so how come they have nuclear weapons?
	Because what country is constantly shouting death to film the police?
	Three countries have said death to America.
	It's U.S.
	It's North Korea and it's Iran.
	But how come he hasn't used it yet?
	Because North Korea...
	But this is kind of where I'm going with this.
	You said something.
	I want to tighten it up and we've got to wrap it up because we got to move on.
	If you were going to get to a point, I'm going to just say my point on this thing here on what question I asked.
	I said, why would they listen?
	Why would they listen?
	Okay.
	Because at some point, you either have individual autonomy as a country or you don't.
	This whole conversation of Israel controls America, really?
	That seems completely far-fetched to me.
	I thought that Andrew Schultz made a great point that if some country controls another country, it'd be the country with the greatest GDP and the greatest military and the greatest economy in the world, not a tiny little country in the Middle East that's controlling the other country.
	It would seem that Israel is the bag man for the United States, not the other way around.
	So if Israel, any country that has to listen to another country in order to survive, isn't a country at all.
	So I think that they will listen, like I will listen to you as my boss, as my CEO is, my mentor, but I'll live my life.
	I think Israel has a huge influence on America.
	No, I didn't say that.
	Question is, do you think Israel controls Trump?
	No.
	Okay, so I don't think Israel controls Trump.
	Do you think Israel controls America today?
	I don't think it controls America.
	No, I think it has a major influence, especially.
	So does China.
	So do a lot of different people.
	I don't think anybody has to do it.
	Who has more influence over America, China or Israel?
	Think about the amount of money they're putting in schools, universities.
	Who has more influence, the amount of land China's buying, the amount of people they're buying, the amount of who has more influence in the U.S., China or Israel?
	What do you think?
	If you're going to talk about China, I want to see what he's going to say.
	I want to see what Vinny's going to say.
	Hmm.
	But China has to register as a foreign agent, don't they?
	They have to.
	Israel does that.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	But to me, and the reason they did that is because they wanted people to go back to this.
	Like, imagine right now, we get close to Trump, and President Trump allows Assyria to be a nation.
	And the first thing they're going to do is they're going to reach out to all the famous Assyrians around the world and they say, Patrick, Vinny, why don't you guys come to Assyria, buy land, buy some home, buy, do something here?
	What are we going to do?
	What are you going to do?
	If the president allows you to have a passport to go and be a what do they call it when they're dual citizen here in Assyria, would you take it?
	To have dual citizens to go.
	So here in Assyria.
	Assyria got a land back.
	Would you take it?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Of course.
	But Shmi Mumuru.
	They're Jewish.
	They're proud.
	But this is the part where I'm going.
	Let me tell you where I'm at, which my position is a little bit weird.
	He goes to the Middle East, doesn't go meet with who?
	Bibi Nanya.
	Yeah.
	And he meets with everybody else.
	It's a one-hour flight, two-hour flight.
	Doesn't meet with them.
	Okay, no problem.
	And, well, it's not a big deal.
	It wasn't their meeting.
	No problem.
	If Trump publicly says, don't attack, and Israel attacks, there's a part of me that is okay with that.
	Not likes that, is okay with that.
	Because we didn't say attack.
	So now if you go, you're on an island on your own.
	Don't call me now.
	So that's not a fight I wanted to be a part of.
	It's a fight that you chose to be a part of.
	Make sense?
	Guys, how many times in school would they come up to you and they said there's a fight after school?
	Come with us.
	Of course.
	And I'm like, bro, you hooked up with his sister.
	I'm not.
	What are you doing?
	Like, what are you doing?
	You started this bullshit.
	I'm not participating in this.
	It's like, no, here's what happened.
	Okay, let's go.
	What's going to be happening, right?
	And it's a different approach to defend your friends versus not defending your friends.
	In a case like this, the guy is saying, don't start the fight.
	Then he says it publicly to everybody.
	Don't start the fight.
	And then if you want to start the fight, guess what?
	Start the fight.
	I'm just not there.
	If you win or lose, it's your fight.
	Don't get me involved.
	But I want to publicly make sure Iran knows we don't want a war, right?
	We don't want a war.
	So if Bibi wants to own this thing here and be his thing, go ahead, Bibi.
	But the world knows this is not the U.S. supporting your attack.
	This is your attack.
	Your attack alone that you're making a decision of.
	Go ahead.
	Do your thing.
	Can I flip it on you?
	Sure.
	How much longer are you or the proud Persian Iranian people willing to just see the Islamic Ayatollahs run your country?
	Do you want to go your entire life never being able to go back to Iran?
	Serious question.
	Because when they're running that country and they have that mind frame, you're never going to go back.
	Your kids are never going to go back.
	But my point is this.
	It needs to come to an end at some point.
	Those are two different conversations.
	But I think it's one, I think it's two different parts of the same conversation.
	So of whatever is going on with this regime, at some point needs to stop.
	Is there a different way of doing it instead of bombing them and which is going to turn into a full-on war that say what you want, we don't want it.
	We're going to have to get involved.
	We're going to have to, especially if it escalates to Israel just against Iran.
	Not under Trump.
	No.
	You don't think so?
	I don't.
	Not under Trump.
	I don't.
	I'm not supporting any U.S. troops being on the ground at all.
	Not under Trump.
	Under any other president, under Nikki Haley?
	100%.
	Under anybody else?
	Not under Trump.
	But the other part to say what he's saying, okay?
	Sometimes there's a guy that everybody wants to take out, but you don't want to fight him for many different reasons.
	But if somebody wants to go fight him and take him out, and you think you can do it, go at it.
	Just don't involve us.
	If Israel thinks independently they can go do it, go ahead.
	Do your thing.
	Don't call for help.
	Because Israel always says, We don't ever ask him for help.
	We know, no, no, no.
	Of course, we've given some money to them.
	Not as much as we've given to Ukraine.
	Not as much as we've given to other places.
	But we've given money.
	And every time they give the number that it's accrued and compound, if it wasn't today's money, it's this.
	I get it.
	We've given way more money to Afghanistan.
	We've given way more money to the war on, what was it, the $3 trillion we spent, the $8 trillion we spent on Iraq, Afghanistan.
	Iraq, Afghanistan, all Iraq is funding wars on.
	All that bullshit, the weapons of mass destruction.
	This is not the weapons of mass destruction.
	This is a very different thing.
	So anyways, we'll see what happened there.
	King, it's one of the longest podcasts we've done on Home Team.
	A lot of topics we covered.
	And a big part of it is because next week, we may not do any Home Team podcast because we may not be here.
	So we're going to try to figure out to be able to do one at least while we're out.
	It's going to be, what do you call it?
	Like the way we do it where it's like a Zoom type.
	But I'm sure there's a lot of things that's going to happen between now and next week where we may have to do an emergency podcast.
	Stay tuned for that.
	We will keep you guys posted in the interroom.
	If you haven't yet registered for this, How to Be a Killer in Business Without Killing Your Marriage, I'm going to talk about a bunch of different things.
	Go to vtwebinar.com, vtwebinar.com, register, and tomorrow, the third episode of Her Take goes live at 11 o'clock on HerTake YouTube channel.
	We'll see you guys there.
	Have a great weekend, everybody.
