My handshake is better than anything I ever signed.
It's right here.
You are a one-on-one?
My son's right there.
I don't think I've ever said this before.
All right, gangs.
So, Rob, episode six, 39.
Great to be with y'all.
We got a lot of stuff to cover here today.
We got some dark money being sent to Democratic influencers, which is very interesting, paying them $8,000 a month.
This is a New York Post story.
And apparently they came up with a list of some of the names that they're speculating.
Correct or not, we don't know.
Obviously, we have to discuss the tragic event that took place with the transgender Minneapolis shooter, exposes the spiritual warfare in America.
We got many, many stories with that one.
Many videos and things to react to with that one.
Gavin Newsom on another interview, I think every time he goes and does these interviews, it's almost like he's pleading for people to feel sorry for him.
I can't tell you how many times people send me Trump 2028 hats.
They sent me two more the other day.
Do you realize like a troll when they see that?
That's like an opening.
It's like, thank you.
I know how to upset this guy.
I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a thousand of them sent to him the next couple of weeks.
Not something to do.
Let's send him a future look bright hat.
You know what he did the other day?
He said, you know how tough it is when somebody calls you Newscomb?
The next day, that Newscomb was trending on X. Stop talking about it.
You're bringing attention to it.
But he's definitely out there campaigning to be the president.
Beverly Hill's Unified School District board members vote to fly Israel flags inside their schools.
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook sues Trump.
Tom's got a lot of things to say about that.
Trump looks terrible.
Why won't the press ask him what's wrong?
A lot of people are talking about his hand, health, videos going around saying he's not doing well.
Trump's approval rating up five points.
Vanity Fair staff.
Ready for this, folks?
Threatens to walk out the mother effing door if Melania Trump is on the cover.
Can you imagine that?
You're working there.
They're thinking about putting Melania Trump, the first lady on the cover.
I'm going to walk out if you put her on that magazine.
In a heartbeat, I'm not only going to put her on the cover, I'm going to put her on the back, in the middle, on posters in the office next to that girl's desk to say, you don't make the decisions here, buddy.
We're going to make that on the cover of it.
And it would improve the quality of the magazine if all those people left.
Yeah.
Trump's DC takeover caused violence.
Ready for this to plummet 45%.
Them mayor admits as residents, biz owners say we feel much more safe.
Shocking poll shows how many Americans really back Trump's military takeover of top crumb crime-written cities.
I got a poll.
I got a stat I want to share with you guys that I shared, I think yesterday.
I don't know when it was, a couple days ago when I shared it about, Rob, if you have that one, mass shooting rates by demo from 2015 to 2025.
And it breaks down Native Americans, Hispanics, whites.
We'll get to this.
Black, Asian, trans non-binary.
Wait to see some of these stats here.
Again, I said we got some things for Newsome.
We got a lot of stuff there.
U.S. tariffs on India hit 50% as Donald Trump and Modi ties sour.
Modi ignoring Trump's call after tariff crisis.
That's interesting.
Annunciation Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis.
What we know about the suspect.
Of course, we got a lot of things to talk there.
Iran, after the shock of war, Iranians yearning for change.
They want a revolution, something to change with a new person taking over.
I wonder who that's going to be that's going to go out there and do the work for that to become a reality.
Maybe someone's going to be able to go out there and make some noise, but we'll see.
Russia warning as Vladimir Putin closed to first nuclear bomb test in 35 years.
You think maybe he's sending a message to a guy right next to him that's a good dancer?
Maybe, who knows?
And by the way, Russia's at a point right now where this story is a very interesting story.
New York Post, they're at a point right now in Russia that they're recruiting the last chance for soldiers with HIV and STDs, with promises of free health care if they fight against Ukraine.
I mean, some of these things, it's just, you're not going to be able to fix some of the things that these guys are dealing with, but it is what it is.
Maybe the way they're going to scare them, they're going to be like, I'm going to spread this on you.
I'm going to do something to you.
I don't know.
I don't know the strategy behind it, but I'm sure they're thinking about some strategies.
U.S. economy surges past expectations as spending investment soar.
The economy expanded 3.3% in Q2 with growth even stronger than initially thought.
And jobless claims edged down to 229.
And last Wednesday, we didn't cover the little NAS X stories.
So we definitely have to go to that for Vinny to share what happened there.
And we're excited about that story.
I know it's a lot of exciting clips, you know, when he's walking around in his white thong or whatever you want to call it.
With his boots.
White boots.
And then, you know, something happened, which I appreciate.
I think we need more of this that I don't think we do enough.
I think this is what's missing in American politics, that we just need to get down to business.
Mexico senators fight during session over speaking rights.
It's awesome.
When you see it, please share this with a local senator of yours and get a little bit tougher.
We need some more eyeballs when senators get together.
And these guys actually kept going, fighting, guys shooting, pushing the camera guy down, the sound guy, like Kevin James from there.
He's holding it.
He's like, dude, I'm not even doing anything.
That guy gets pushed to the ground and he's standing over him.
You got this.
It's great highlights.
And you know how four weeks ago we went to LA for the Jubilee thing, the Jubilee Rob.
I don't know if you have that clip from Jubilee.
I'm going to show you because they just told us.
We didn't even know when it was going to come out.
But it's coming out this Sunday.
I hung out with 20 of my best friends in the world.
And I actually, I have to tell you, I enjoyed it.
And the first one, she just went after me hard.
Listen to this one.
Go ahead.
The United States of Patrick Butt David.
This is the United States of America.
Would you take money from a capitalist to help you go see specialists?
I mean, yeah, sure.
Why not?
But would you also be open to seeing somebody else I choose as a psychologist that may you're not?
No, no, when you're offering people here jobs, right?
You're saying that.
They would have to pay you money to get that.
So in reality, you're trying to convince them to pay you money for you.
Be very careful defaming when you don't know the facts.
My first claim is incentive is the engine of capitalism.
Remove it and the system fails.
My next claim is capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system.
My next claim is if all the money in the world were divided equally, it would return to the same pockets within five years.
My final claim is the U.S. is more socialist than capitalist today.
If you hate the system, you're anti-socialist.
I'm Patrick B. David.
I'm an entrepreneur and founder of PBD Podcast.
Today I'm surrounded by 20 anti-capitalists.
There you go.
That was going to be awesome.
Sunday.
Sunday, it comes out.
I don't know what town, but apparently Sunday is going to come out.
I'm so disconnected from it that I myself want to see it to see what happened because some of these guys were screaming, upset.
You know, one guy was there.
He was Adam's favorite.
You know, she was very, so she was there and we spoke.
But the reality of it was it was awesome.
Okay.
It was awesome.
Handful of them were educated, you know, telling history.
And it was actually very, very good exercise.
I enjoyed it.
And I'm looking forward to doing many of these.
So Sunday, sometime this will come out.
And aside from that, guys, remember this.

Benching 135 pounds.
Absolutely crushing.
Killed it, John.
It was on You're the New Mayor.
And I got so much hate telling me I was doing half bench presses.
So I have to go and do it again.
And I'm going to pause and I'm going to do this and I'm going to pause.
And what I'm probably going to do after today is I'm going to do that with a pause to see how many I'll do.
But it'll be a little bit more.
Do a pause.
Do a story.
I'm going to do a pause.
I'll be like, how you doing?
And then boom.
But also, you do the whole leg up, like this whole deal.
This is well, they're saying I'm not going straight enough.
And I like being challenged.
So maybe if I do straight arms, I can only do three of them, four of them.
But we'll test it out.
We'll test it out.
Okay.
All right.
So let's get into the story.
Let's get into the story.
Let's get into the story.
First story I want to get into is the tragic event that took place in Minneapolis.
Okay.
Annunciation Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis.
What we know about the suspect.
Rob, is this a video you got on it or is this something I'm reading?
I do.
I have some video.
Let me just read this to you and then I'll come to you, Rob.
So the suspected shooter of Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, identified by law enforcement sources as Robert or Robin Westman, Jake Tapper likes to call him Robin, opened fire during a morning mass in Wednesday, killing two children and injuring 17 others, including 14 children with two in critical condition.
According to police reports, court record records indicate that in 2019, a juvenile named Robert Westman, whose mother, Mary Grace Westman, was the parish secretary at Annunciation until her 2021 retirement legally changed their name to Robin.
With the mother stating, minor child identifies as female and wants her name to reflect that identification.
Police described the attacker as a male dressed in black carrying a black rifle who committed suicide after the shooting with Minneapolis Police Department stating there's no active threat to the community at this time and shooter is contained.
The suspect's relationship to the school remains unknown and is unconfirmed whether Westman had any condition connection to school students or staff, though disturbing YouTube videos since deleted and unverified by authorities posted under the name Robin Westman showed handwritten notebook pages and weapon with messages painted on them.
Go ahead, Rob.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune, just as another piece of the puzzle as to who the shooter was, the Minneapolis Star Tribune says, according to court records, because there's been some confusion about what the shooter's name was.
Yes.
Robin Westman's mother applied to change her child's name in 2019.
It was at one point Robert Paul Westman.
Correct.
But since she identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification, was underage.
That's what they're saying.
You're still doing that and you're wondering why, Rob.
Can you pull up that data?
And then I'm going to go to a couple of you guys.
Tom, I'm going to come to you first.
Can you pull up that stat?
Check this out, folks.
So this is data showing mass shooting rates by demo from 2015 to 2025.
Look at the one to the left.
Trans non-binary is the highest.
Then it's Asians.
Then it's blacks.
Then it's whites.
Then it's Hispanics.
Like Hispanics, this is not anything they do.
Then it's Native Americans.
Not at all.
But why is that?
Why are we not paying attention more to data to see what's going on here?
You think we could prevent maybe some of these things have happened in the future?
You know how many parents are concerned nowadays?
I'm at a game the other day with another parent.
And this parent, who's got his daughter there, 13-year-old daughter, tall, she's coming talking to us.
There's a couple thousand people there.
The entire time he's looking on, hey, look at that guy.
Who is that guy?
Do you know that guy?
Why is that guy walking around?
Why is this guy doing this?
He was so paranoid the entire time.
I said, what's your concern?
And he says, what do you mean, what's my concern?
Are you not worried about all the school shootings that's happening?
This was a week ago.
Now this happens.
Parents are truly worried about what's going on because they don't want to see something like this happen at their school.
Tom, your thoughts on the story here.
So I have a couple of different thoughts.
My wife is a teacher, and she's at a school here in Fort Lauderdale.
She does training every year, lockdown training.
God bless the entrepreneurs that are inventing new devices that are helping, that are quick locks and things to help contain schools and things.
But we talk about this every year.
And there's two elements here that really anger her and anger me.
And the first element is the way the Democrats handle this.
And I'm not making it political.
I'm just describing.
The playbook, find a victim, politicize it, push that victim against conservatives as being absolutely, you know, repressed.
And trans is the new victim.
Protect trans.
Politicize trans.
Push them against conservatives.
Conservatives are trying to repress the trans.
Well, look, that may be a tremendous, you know, effort of change that happened in 1968 with civil rights legislation when it was needed.
Now you're finding made-up victims, and we're not getting to the root cause.
There are some people who are trans that really are sexually confused and are peaceful people, and they don't know what's up, and they feel this way, and so they want to be this.
There's other people.
The data is in.
The data is here.
That there is a number of people, and it is a significant percent of people in the trans community who are trans and talk about it.
Friends of trans talk about it that say there's something going on, that there's something deeper and emotional and troubling.
The data is in now.
In Tennessee, it was a trans shooter.
Now in Minneapolis, it was a trans shooter.
This is bothersome because you see it in the people.
They need help.
They need assistance.
They need people to come alongside.
They don't need the mom right now refusing to cooperate with authorities on interviews.
Right now, the mother of the shooter, this morning, two different articles I read, is allegedly refusing to cooperate with authorities and ask questions as they are trying.
The shooter's gone.
The shooter took his, referred to as her, by identification.
He said, I'm identifying a woman.
So Robert, identifying as Robin, took his own life.
He's gone.
But they're trying to get to the mother.
They want to talk to her, not in her moment of grief.
They want to understand this.
The police, this is like FBI profilers.
They want to understand what's going on here.
And we as a nation, the media is flying, absolutely staying in lockstep with the liberal Democrats.
Find a victim, politicize it, push it against conservatives.
They are the ones repressing it.
No, in this case, that's not what's going on.
We have data and in the trans community, we need to come together as a nation and say, wherever you are, if you're troubled, you've got things going on, you need help.
And then parents, as the ones that were prosecuted in Michigan, have to lock up their weapons.
There's a responsibility there.
But gun control is not the full answer here.
You've got people that need help.
Yeah, when you're seeing stories like this, that's what?
That's a magazine called Eugene Weekly, Pat.
And look at the subliminal message.
Are you triggered?
And they put, as the Trump administration attacks trans people, some queer folks are armed and ready to push back.
That's what the hell are you talking about?
Conservatives are repressing you.
That's an action.
You need to fight back.
And what look at look at that symbol.
What are you trying to say, bro?
Bro, because that's a bro.
Moomat.
Like, what are you talking about?
Or do they know what's going on?
By the way, can you get to that one video I sent you, Rob?
This is a video of, say, you know, the trans guy, you know, the famous trans guy on TikTok.
Get angry.
Oh, yeah.
Have you seen this guy?
Oh, that guy scares the hell out of me.
Get angry.
That guy scares me.
Yeah, can you play?
I think that, yeah, this is the one.
That's a good thing.
Oh my God, this is so scary.
Look at this.
Angry.
Oh, God.
Go out, buy a gun.
Jeez.
It's okay to be angry.
Oh, my God.
Get out of my face now.
If you try to stop me from going into a woman's bathroom, excuse me, it's ma'am.
Be the last mistake you ever make.
It is ma'am.
Find that anger.
Yes, but those people.
Hey, harness it to do good in the world.
These are the things that guy drew up.
Yeah.
Killed those kids.
Yep.
This is what the female.
We could just make a lot of people.
These are troubled people.
What's probably my primary question?
What's about motivation?
You want to call me freaking?
The thing is, you don't have to leave.
You'll lose your bitch.
For everything that I do.
Cut that out now, or you'll go home.
That's when it first started.
It was a call to action or call to arms.
It's her!
It's her!
It's not your fucking time!
Don't be afraid to show your anger.
Oh my god.
What is this?
Let me tell you, it's deeper and it's also spiritual, folks.
No one wants to talk about it.
There is a spiritual side to this: that these people, in their confusion, in their gender dysphoria, are also, you don't tell me that that is normal, rational people.
There is a spiritual side to this, and people who understand it know I'm speaking the truth.
And I'm going to ask Bob, Pat, remember?
And I've told Pat and the crew three times during his 11-minute video, and I had to watch it for context.
Can you, before I get into this, Pat, if you don't mind, this is just the beginning of the video.
Guys, tell me.
That's him.
This is his voice at the beginning.
He has a Walter White photo from Breaking Bad.
By the way, his normal voice is like this.
And I've got goosebumps right now, Pat.
Tell me how demonic and possessed this voice is.
This is the video he did before he went on shoe.
Listen to this voice.
That's him.
That's him.
And then the video starts in his house, okay?
And there's three different instances, Rob, that we don't have to show right now.
But I want to say this right now.
This is what makes people transphobic.
Okay.
Not your identity, but the fact that you clearly have a mental issue, and then it manifests into killing innocent people, innocent children praying in church.
That's what makes me transphobic.
Not because you want to call yourself Sarah and you were born John.
All right.
And this guy, by the way, the mom co-signing.
And look about his, this wasn't random.
And listen to the mentality, guys, of how lost and confused this kid is.
These are quotes from his manifesto.
I only keep the long hair because it's pretty much my last shred of being trans.
I am tired of being trans.
I wish I never brainwashed myself.
I regret being trans.
I wish I was a girl.
And I just know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we have today.
And I can't afford it.
Okay.
This wasn't some happy or fulfilled person.
All right.
It was eating him alive by confusion, illness, and despair.
And when you have a system, Pat, when the world is telling him, hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
Live your truth.
You want to chop off your genitalia?
Go and do it.
Hey, kids, is this what you want?
Do it.
And this is a pattern.
All right.
Minnesota, this guy, trans.
Republican Party firebombing, gender fluid.
Nashville shooter, trans.
Colorado Tesla arson is trans.
Colorado shooter, non-binary.
Aberdeen shooter, trans.
Denver shooter, trans.
Iowa shooter, gender, trans fluid.
AMC, the guy that was stabbing, trans.
Okay.
And we know, and this is the one thing that got me, me and Rob were talking about this.
Is it weird to anybody else?
The moment this happens, within one hour, we know who he is, his history, his family, his school, the videos.
But when a guy, Thomas Crooks, who's kind of in the same stay here.
No, I am.
He shoots the president, Tom.
We don't know nothing about the guy and we still don't.
I'm definitely staying here.
And then you hear the guy's voice.
And you know what?
I thought about this.
It's not their fault.
Okay.
It's not this trans, confused, mentally ill person's fault.
It's the media, okay?
It's academia and it's politicians who don't say, hey, you should stop.
They promote it, Tom.
Like Tim Walz, Minnesota's governor, has turned his state.
He turned it into a sanctuary, a place for kids to receive trans medical services.
And he bragged at making Minnesota a safe haven for trans people.
And Pat showed the chart.
I'm just done.
Guys, I am done enabling.
I'm done pretending that this is just another lifestyle.
It's not.
They're mentally unstable.
They need help.
They don't need us co-signing.
They need actual psychiatrists.
They need people to help them, not co-sign their freaking delusion.
And the LGBT community, this is the T.
The Ts have single-handedly dismantled the progress that gay people have made to gain the public's trust.
Shame on them.
And all these guys that are, all these fake politicians saying, Pat, save your thoughts and we don't need thoughts and prayers.
Shame on you.
Yes, the hell they do.
Adam.
No, you're absolutely right, Vinny.
Vinny's absolutely right.
So is Tom about the lack of God in society.
So there's three types of genders.
And I think it's fair to say this: there's men, there's female, and then there's the mentally ill.
And I think if we can't identify the fact that a lot of these shooters are trans and are dealing with massive, massive mental problems, what are we talking about here?
You know, step number one is admit you have a problem.
Here's something that we've talked about.
I think Bill Maher made this famous about how every generation is becoming more and more LGBT friendly or identifying as that.
And I got to be honest with you, we talk about every single topic here.
Nobody's scared of the L's, the G's, the B's.
We're focused squarely on the T's.
What is going on here?
So all these shooters happen to be T.
We saw that previous stat.
I don't know if you could show that again, Rob, just for the audience.
Something's going on here with the Ts.
How can we not address this?
So I broke it down to three.
There it is right there.
I broke it down to three major reasons why these school shooters happen.
And I would love to get your guys' input.
Number one, there's just massive, massive hate and grievance and resentment and revenge and V for vendetta.
I think we can all agree upon that.
Number two is social isolation.
They're isolated.
A lot of it is sexual frustration.
They don't know what's going on.
They're young.
They're 18.
They haven't, they don't know how to this outlet.
And I'm assuming a lot of them haven't had sexual outlets to deal with any of this.
The last one is the biggest problem I think going on with all young people.
It's a lack of meaning and purpose in your life.
We covered this the other day about people don't have meaning anymore.
They're looking for meaning.
A lot of times you find meaning in community or in religion or in God or in family.
COVID basically exacerbated this problem.
But what happens is, you know, a lot of these kids, the average age of a school shooter is guess what age?
18.
So they're high school seniors on average and they're filled with rage and resentment and they lack meaning and purpose and they write a manifesto, right?
Talked about this.
And what I've uncovered is this following thing.
They'd rather be dead and infamous rather than alive and irrelevant.
And that's a shocking statement because all of them basically trace their inspiration to Colin Button.
Remember when that happened?
I believe in 1999.
So a lot of these people copycat Columbine, and this is the only way that they're going to find infamy and fame.
And I actually don't think we should talk about their names ever because you're giving them their shine when they deserve known of it.
But it doesn't help when the mother, you're 17, Pat, and the mother's like, you know what?
Change your name.
Do this.
You're governor and all these people are making it.
It's your fault.
Vinny Griffin.
They made this.
They made this person.
I've talked about parents being held accountable.
They should go to jail for a mass shooting.
And people thought it was crazy a few years ago.
Remember this?
This is ridiculous.
And then in Michigan, they actually threw parents, I think, in jail for a shooting.
Transaction weapons.
That's a good question.
Trans parents, when they commit something like this, there's evidence.
All right, so hold on.
What?
You're on these messages.
What did RFK say?
This is RFK, I believe, yesterday, where he talks about the amount of SSRIs connected to school shootings.
Go for it.
I certainly consider mass shootings a health crisis.
And we are doing for the first time real studies to find out what the ideology of that is.
And we're looking for the first time at psychiatric drugs.
You know, these kind of mass shooting.
People have had guns in this country forever.
When I was a kid, we had shooting clubs at our school.
People, kids, my classmates, other people, would bring a 22 rifle with their guns to school and park it in the parking lot.
Nobody was shooting.
There's never been a time in America in the history of humanity when people walked into a crowd, into a church or a movie theater or a school or a crowd of standards and just started randomly shooting.
It's happening in our country.
It's not happening around the world.
And there are many other countries that have comparable levels of guns that we have in this country.
We had comparable levels in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and people weren't doing that.
Something changed.
And it dramatically changed human behavior.
And one of the culprits we need to examine is whether the fact that we are the most over-medicated nation in the world and that a lot of those are psychiatric drugs that have black box warnings on them that warn of suicidal and homicidal ideation.
So we are doing those studies right now for the first time.
And we will have an answer.
And by the way, you know what else he said they're about to release as well, the link to autism.
Did you see that?
What they're about to release?
They're about to release the report.
If you go on X and just type in RFK, autism, they're about to release.
What they figured out is the link to, is that, yeah, that's the one right there.
Go ahead, Rob, from the beginning, if you could.
Tell me autism, if I could, just, I don't want to go too long because we have a lot of people, but the autism is such a tremendous horror show, what's happening in our country and some other countries, but mostly our country.
How are you doing on that?
We are doing very well.
We will have announcements, as promised, in September.
We're finding interventions, certain interventions now that are clearly, almost certainly causing autism.
And we're going to be able to address those in September.
It's such a big day.
I'm looking forward to that day because there's something wrong when you see the kind of numbers that you have today versus 20 years ago.
That's right.
And those numbers, what are those numbers, Rob?
In 1970, the biggest epidemiological study in history was done in Wisconsin.
They looked at 900,000 children and they were looking for autism.
They knew what it looked like.
And they were very, very precise about it.
And they found an incident rate of 0.7.
In other words, less than one for every 10,000 children.
Today, our most recent numbers are one in every 31 kids.
It's probably actually much worse than that because California, which has the best collection system, is reporting one out of every 19 children, American children.
Wow.
As odds of one in every 12.5 boys.
Oh, it's gone from less than one in 10,000 in 1970 to one in 12.5 boys.
Think of those numbers.
25 years.
So there has to be something artificially causing, meaning a drug or something.
And I know you're looking very strongly at different things.
And I hope you can come out with that as soon as possible.
So one in 10.
It's great that a guy like that is in there investigating this.
I just hope there's no games, no cover-up, no nothing.
Just tell us what happened.
Because, you know, one of the biggest things that we learned from the last time, the transgender, typically linked to medication, what they're taking, what they're on.
You have to find out if there's a pattern there.
The entire time while I'm sitting here, all I'm typing is, what's the pattern amongst all the transgender shooters?
What do we know about the pattern?
Family and upbringing patterns.
Troubled childhoods are common.
Many shooters come from broken families, divorce, or unstable home environments, exposure to domestic violence, or absent fathers.
It's disproportionately reported.
There is a pattern that is taking place.
If you keep pitching woman power and all this other stuff, you know, we are equals and we're this and we're that and we're this, guess what you're going to do?
You're going to continue having broken families.
Women are going to be like, I don't need a man.
There was a video the other day.
They went to Russia, I think it was.
And they're walking around asking women, hey, do you see yourself equal as man?
Would you want to?
No, I don't want to do his job.
I just want to be his wife.
Do you see yourself as equal?
No, no, I don't want to be a man.
I want him to do it.
I just want to be, I can't do what he does.
And it was such a constant, and you've seen these clips from back in the days where they're interviewing people.
Is the man the leader of the household?
Yes, he is the leader of the household, not me.
So if we continue going this direction, these patterns are going to show up.
I'm glad there is logic in the White House that's going to get to the bottom of this to see exactly what is taking place with these different issues.
Let me get to the next story here that I got.
Rob, can you pull up a couple of the clips with Gavin Newsome?
So you know how a lot of people are wondering?
They're asking the question.
They're saying, is this guy posting the tweets or is somebody else doing it?
Who is posting it?
Who's sharing these things?
I'm trying to find out.
Is it really him?
And people are like, no, it's probably him.
Democrats are like, no, it's probably all him.
He's doing such a great job.
Well, he finally was asked about it.
And look what he said.
I don't know if you guys have seen this or not.
Rob, go ahead and play this clip.
Go for it.
Personally approve the press office tweets that go out from here.
There is a little, we have a kill switch.
Yeah.
So to the extent that I don't kill it, then I guess.
How many do you kill?
Less every day.
Oh, God.
So now we know.
I'm not doing it.
Of course not.
Somebody else is doing it for him.
It's not him doing it.
Other guys are sending it to him.
By the way, while he's there, there's a few things that he said.
Everybody knows right now.
Guys, just get ready.
You're going to see this face 24-7 in 2027.
I just want you to get ready.
27-28 is going to be non-stop.
This is going to be the Democratic candidate.
Pritzker is constantly trying to get in there.
Pritzker, in my opinion, is going to be the Jeb Bush, that he's going to get all the money, like the $140 million, and then this guy's going to come up and be the candidate that's going to fight.
Now, it may be different.
Pritzker may have the momentum.
Something may come out for this guy and embarrassing stories, but how many more embarrassing stories are going to come out than you're hooking up with your campaign manager, your best friend's wife?
This guy, the amount of stories that's going to come up with this guy is endless.
But this is him complaining about, Rob, is this the hat situation?
Yes.
Watch this one here.
You're not saying you think they're going to, Republicans are going to stop it.
I don't think Donald Trump wants another election.
Oh, God.
Nobody clap.
You think for a second he wants.
I have two dozen Trump 2028 hats.
He's about to get a thousand.
His folks keep sending me.
And you think he's going to run again?
No, he's mad.
He's mad.
Who spends $200 million on a ballroom at their home and then leaves the house?
What?
What?
He's trying to say the ballroom he's building.
By the way, go to the ballroom at the White House, Rob, if you can show the clip.
They're building a ballroom at the White House, and he's saying he's building a ballroom to not leave the White House because he doesn't want another election in 2025 in 2020, whatever, 2028.
That's the ballroom they're talking about at the White House.
Nice ballroom that many other presidents will be able to use.
And Dana just confirmed that the UFC is going to be there.
He flew back from the event.
So Trump's trying to bring something else to the White House that maybe we've not seen before.
You know, he's bringing a completely different level.
Is this the one about the This is Caroline Levitt talking about who's funding the ballroom?
Because it's coming from Trump and donors.
Everybody.
Yeah.
Before we get to questions, I do have one other announcement from the White House and from the president.
We are proud to announce that the construction of the new White House ballroom will begin.
For 150 years, presidents, administrations, and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed.
President Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future administrations and the American people.
The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building's entrance.
The White House State Ballroom will be a much needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of innately designed and carefully crafted space with a seated capacity of 650 people, which is a significant increase from the 200-person seated capacity in the East Room of the White House.
In recent weeks, President Trump has held several meetings with members of the White House staff, the National Park Service, the White House military officers.
Is there anything else?
No, that's it.
That's it.
Okay, sounds good.
Yeah, so you got a lot of other things that's coming up.
You know, Trump doesn't want another election.
You know, Newsom talking about it sickens me to the core.
Back to back to back, because that's another one, Rob, or I know I can get that sickens me to the core.
Sickens me to the core.
Just nonstop.
So we know the guy's campaigning.
Tom, when you're seeing these types of exchanges, you know, two dozen Trump 2028 hats.
You know, somebody else tweeted for him.
Are you still in the same mindset, Tom, that Pritzker is going to be the leading guy for the Democrats in 2028?
What I've said is the DNC wants Pritzker, and Pritzker is the guy in the Midwest.
And I believe that's what the DNC card they want to play.
I think they're worried about Gavin Newsom in Texas.
I think they're worried about Gavin Newsom in Florida.
And I think Gavin Newsom is going to discover that there is life on the other side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
And as much as he's getting momentum through rage and anti-Trump and rage, and he's getting a lot of followerships.
He's getting a lot of attention.
I still think that the DNC want to put their number on it.
But I think he's not, he's campaigning, and we're going to deal with three years of this.
Yeah, he's not going away.
He's not going away.
Oh, no, he's not going away.
He's going to be in all those primaries.
But I wonder is the DNC going to South Carolina him?
We'll see.
Well, you know, we just talked about the shooting in Minnesota, and I'm going to tie it to basically what California has done to America.
You know, Minnesota is the California of the Midwest.
And what California has done is they've exported all their weirdness and their dysfunction and their failed policies and their high taxes and their holly weirdness.
And trans is the new trend.
And it's seeped its way to the rest of America.
You know, America, you know, as proud capitalists here, we've gotten a lot richer.
GDP is up massive.
Everyone's, if you own any assets, richer and richer and richer.
At the same time, there's a weird thing going on in America where we're all fatter, sicker, dumber, woker, gayer, lonelier, and depressed than ever.
Speak for yourself.
So that's, I, I, I'm not sure.
I'm doing better than ever.
I don't know.
Are you lonelier than ever?
Not me.
But the reality is, whatever, you know, they say that politics is downstream from culture.
Now, culture kind of comes from Hollywood and movies and social media.
And look no further than California of where it kind of happens.
And make no mistake, look at what's happened in Minnesota in the last five years.
This is where, don't forget, COVID's George Floyd happened, all the riots that were going on there.
Tampon Tim, we know that.
He couldn't identify what a woman was.
This is where Ilhan Omar and the progressive Islamist extremism of the Somali community that is basically taking over.
You have a weak, ineffective governor like Jacob Frey, who probably prays to a guy named Gavin Newsom.
It's a disgusting thing to see a great American city like Minneapolis, and they're taking their lead from the disgustingness that comes from California.
What an amazing state that has basically been wrecked so far.
I did it because Rob did it for all odds.
I did it for just the Democrats.
Gavin Newsom is number one right now, Polymark and election betting odds at 31%.
AOC is number two.
Pete Buttigieg, Wesmore, Shapiro and Kamala, and Pritzker is not even in the top.
Go back up, Rob?
Go back up.
Join the Rock Johnson.
No, no, the one above it.
Zoom in a little bit.
Josh Shapiro, Donald Trump Jr., Whitmer, Obama, Ron DeSantis, Haley.
Nikki Haley.
Nikki Haley.
They got AOC as a number two for the Democrat frontrunner.
That's crazy.
She's formidable.
Yeah.
She's formidable, but she's going to have a hard time with some of the states.
And Tom's right.
See, Newsom was on track when he was going a little bit more to the center to have a shot, but he missed out.
He went so aggressive.
La Kamala was the leading candidate for Democrats.
She lost seven states.
Okay.
So the same strategy, man.
Yeah, swing states.
The seven states that, you know, Pennsylvania, what was it, Arizona?
Name them.
Yeah, Georgia, Arizona.
Yeah.
So the point when you're going through something like this, and so Democrats are trying to find ways to find a Rogan, all that other stuff.
Story comes out from Taylor Lorraine's dark money group paying pro Democrats, influencers up to $8,000 a month, New York Post.
What's the story, Rob?
This is, do you have a video on it or no?
It's just a story.
Just a story.
Okay, let me read it.
A secretive dark body group tied to the Democratic Party, the 1630 Fund, is paying online influencers up to $8,000 a month through their course creator incubator program to disseminate left-leaning talking points with participants, including Olivia Juliana, the Gen Z activist who spoke at the 2024 DNC convention, Lauren Pierta, a former Playboy executive, turned to Occupy Democrats YouTuber, Barrett Adair, who runs a viral American.
Do you know these people or know Rob?
I don't know either.
Viral American Girl Dodd-themed meme account.
Susan Lambert, who style herself as a Regina Georgia liberal.
That is a mean girl's reference.
There's our girl.
Fedor.
There she is.
Ariel Fedor, who is a teacher with 1.4 million TikTok followers.
Sandra Jennings, TLC reality star and older brother of trans influencer Jazz Jennings.
Weird.
David Pac-Man, host of YouTube show.
Oh, boy.
Pac-Man's on this list.
Oh, weird.
But Pac-Man's got a couple million supplies.
Why does he need $8,000 a month?
Pac-Man, okay, so along with Leigh McGowan, better known as Politics Scroll, so it's 1635, told the Post that it is a fiscal sponsor of Corus, receiving donations on Corus' behalf, providing operational administrative support, but it is not the original source of financing.
And the fiscal sponsorship model is common across philanthropy and in compliance with all laws.
Is that what this is?
Rob, do we know anything else about the story?
That's all that I know right now.
It said how many people were involved?
90 of them.
90 influencers were expected to join.
Go a little bit lower according to Wired.
Go a little bit lower.
So that's Pac-Man right there.
Lower, lower, lower.
Is there, let me see what it says.
Some bulk at the group, chatting influencer debating the terms.
One pro-abortion creator, Perry, would have quipped, I believe we are in stage five acceptance.
Aaron Paranas, Gen Z influencer, once held the Gen Z Walter Cronkite, is reported to have told the colleagues it was take it or leave it.
The program secrecy clause was deliberate.
It avoids a lot of public disclosure that you see on political ads.
A lawyer, of course, for chorus, said in a Zoom call with creators, according to Wired, your names aren't shown up on reports filed with the FVC.
Well, he was wrong.
Go a little lower, Rob.
So they were thinking their name wasn't going to be on the list.
Now it is.
That's not good.
Okay, so why is this not good?
Tell me why this isn't good.
I mean, they're paying them, like when it's dark secret money, who's paying it?
Is it a specific candidate?
Is it a campaign?
When they say Democratic Party, Pat, it's like, who is it?
I'm just curious to who and who's leaking, who's leaking the story.
So what's the difference between this and the Russia thing that they were paying people $100,000?
You know, Dave Rubin's name was on there and a couple other people's name was on there.
You remember that list?
I think it's kind of the same.
When they say dark money, Pat, where is it coming from?
Who's paying to influence these people to use their influence to because if I'm a Democrat, you know how I'm arguing this?
How cheap are you guys?
You guys are so Republicans.
It costs money, apparently.
If you want Ruben, you need $100,000 or some of these guys.
These guys are like, for $250, they're interested in, so these are the names from Coors?
Course is a creator, a nonprofit organization dedicated to expand their reach.
I'm saying, of course, it's recruiting, training, and supporting independent online voices and building the next era training.
See, that's the part I have a problem with.
Go a little bit lower.
What does training mean?
Go lower, Rob.
Go lower.
Can you go to the top that says get in touch?
What does get in touch mean?
But still stays there?
Nothing newer?
Okay, then go to the other one that says joint course.
Apply now.
Go a little bit lower, see if there's anything else.
Okay, let's see the FAQs.
What are the benefits of joining Corps, please?
Let's do an ad for it.
Guys, if you want to join us.
Corus incubator program is vibrant pro-democracy learning community for participants receive a monthly stipend.
So they're open about it.
Do you want to give support?
Okay, go to the next one.
Support me.
Send me this link.
I'm going to sign up.
Will I be paid to create content?
Nope.
Nope.
Oh, Steve.
Nope.
Yeah, I don't like that.
I don't like that.
Chorus is a creator-led non-partisan nonprofit for a really different model.
We don't pay creators to produce content.
We just give you space to learn more about how to communicate.
Please note that we do ask incubators to submit one piece of content for growth analysis.
Keep going.
What is applicant to be part of the members?
Okay, online applications, information.
Your applications reviewed five-member panel.
The top scores for go a little bit lower.
Who funds us?
There's a 501c3 pound with grassroots support from hundreds of individuals.
Okay.
All right.
Can we find out who funds chorus?
Go last one.
Will I be publicly listed?
Your privacy and safety is top security.
Well, you guys screwed up.
Shit.
Website.
I do apply.
They're going to know.
And doesn't this show you how the Democratic Party is in shambles?
They're going behind closed doors, dark secret money.
Notice how the Republicans have, you know, it's just organic.
The influencers are out there.
They're out in the open.
They're kicking ass because the Republican Party is.
This shows you that they have to literally pay people, like, hey, please talk positive about us.
Make us look good because the policies and everything is right in front of their face.
We need you to kind of slowly build it.
And that's where they're at, Tom.
They're on that shape.
It's very, very simple.
Chorus coordinates consistent messages among these influencers.
Anti-conservative, whatever you want to call it.
They coordinate those messages.
The chorus sings together.
The chorus stays in tune.
Their branding has got a reason behind it.
The 1630 fund is sending money to chorus.
We like what you're doing.
Here's some bucks.
And then they get a monthly stipend to do what?
What is the monthly stipend?
To do what?
Oh, no, no.
We don't pay you to make content.
No, we give you up in.
And then 1630 says, we invest in organizations that provide operational support to other groups.
So, Chorus, so 1630 says, Vinny, I'm going to give you money for operational support.
Yeah, what does that intend?
Operate.
Keep those liberal voices operating and keep them singing the same tune.
Yes, sir.
That's it.
There it is.
I have nothing more to say.
That's what's going on here.
So they are.
And by the way, it's the same thing that we were concerned about when we would show all the news media.
Do they all get a notice in the morning from somewhere?
Remember those clip generators, those clip assimilators that were put together and you find out the news media was saying the same thing in the same way on the evening news all across USA.
Gosh, where did they all get the playbook?
This is just a playbook for influencers.
Rob, can you go back and ask Chad GBT the following question?
Ask the question of where, who funds Chorus dark money?
Okay, there you go.
So let's see this.
When it comes to primary funder, 1630 Fund.
Okay, so the 1630 Fund, prime and liberal dark money, nonprofit that operates fiscal chorus.
It collects administrative donations.
1630 fund has dispersed up to $8,000 a month to about $90.
Okay, we read that.
Larger network and known backers, larger networks and known backers are Bella Advisors, Washington, D.C. Based Philanthropic Consulting and Minister 1630 Fund Arabella manages a network of politically oriented nonprofits, including New Venture Fund, Hopo Fund, Windward Fund, North Fund, and others.
Okay, known financial contributors are Hansorg Wiss as Swiss billionaire who has donated $245 million.
Interesting.
Okay, so we've got to come back and see who he is.
Rob, can we actually go to see who that guy is?
Hansberg Wiss.
Pierre Odnadar is co-founder of eBay.
Who is Hansberg Wiss?
So Swiss billionaire.
He's a Swiss billionaire entrepreneur.
Why does he have interest in politics?
That's what I'm trying to find out.
He launched a pledging a billion dollars towards 30% of Earth's land and water.
Okay, so he's a climate change guy.
I go a little bit lower.
Major contributor, Democratic and Progressive Caucasus.
Okay, God Caucasus.
Got it.
Wisdom Government Online, Chelsea.
Okay.
Horizon burn.
Okay.
So go back.
Can you ask the question?
What's his relationship with George Soros?
What's his relationship with George Soros?
Let's see what it says.
Zoom in a little bit.
Relation with Derek No Personal Relationship.
They do, they, however, they do operate in overlapping spheres.
Both have major philanthropic donors.
U.S. WIS Foundation, okay, 1630 fund.
All right, go back.
George Soros through Open Society, similar fronts.
Okay, go back to the Chat GPT to continue reading it.
Other disclosed Nick Conner, American Federation of Generalism, Mike Gunbrung, okay, $45 million, major of its funding, $8.5 million.
These are the anonymous ones.
When was it founded?
2009, left-linear organization.
He's the founder of eBay and the grandson of a general in the Imperial Iranian Army.
Really?
Served under Pallavi.
Wow.
Okay, keep going.
Now he's liberal, grandson, liberal.
So, yeah, I mean, so what they're trying to do is what?
Just to give you talking points to say, can you talk about these points and be favorite, you know, favoring what we're talking about?
Is that kind of what they're doing?
It's all about, right?
Social media is about trend.
Trend is momentum.
Momentum is reach.
Yep.
All they're trying to do is put together, I shouldn't say all they're trying to do, is they're giving a bunch of money, dark money.
The dark money comes for all these people that don't want to be listed.
Whoops, there's a list.
And then 1630 gives that money over to Chorus.
Chorus makes sure everybody is singing the same tune.
And today, the word of the day today is authoritarian Trump gun control.
Go, Adam.
Yeah, great point.
Well, this is why people want to get big money out of politics.
I mean, this all traces back to the big decision in 2010, I believe it was, which was Citizens United.
And it happened under, I don't know if it was under George Bush or under Obama, right around that timeframe when there's a John Robertson decision.
Okay, John Robertson limited corporate giving.
Exactly.
And we all remember when Chris Cuomo, shout out to you, buddy, basically called out the big money, dark money donors, whatever you want to call it, at the DNC.
And this was following Bernie on stage.
We got to get the billionaires out of elections.
We got to get the money out of this.
The billionaires, the billionaires.
Please welcome to the stage.
Your next speaker, billionaire governor J.B. Pritzker.
Hey, how you guys doing?
So if you want to see cognitive dissonance, look no further than the Democratic Party.
But here's Chris Cuomo basically calling out essentially what we're talking about.
How long is this clip, Rob?
One minute, 58 seconds.
Okay.
Greg, look at the ring of sweets, okay?
This is not unique to Democrats.
There is a game of money.
When people talk about uniparty, we are strangled by the money reality in our politics.
Those sweets start at 500 grand.
Damn.
You think there's like a teacher group up in there?
Yeah.
You think it's like the Cub Scouts of Columbia County, South Carolina that's up in those boxes?
Some of them are lobbies and good things.
The media boxes, you think they're free?
Why do you think I'm on the floor?
News Nation is not a broke company.
Nextdoor is a massive organization.
We are corporate media.
We don't have one of those boxes because that's the game.
You pay to play.
Those boxes are filled with the same people that they say they're going to regulate.
They are literally looking down on the faithful and being told that they're living in the world.
We're going to break down on them.
We're going to make them pay their share.
Rob, you can pause it right there.
We play this clip multiple times.
Great messaging.
It'd be great to get rid of lobbying, but in able to do that, it's going to be a lot of fighting going on.
But Tom, what would happen?
Actually, visualize 100% of lobbying is gone.
The biggest one being Big Pharma.
I think it's $350 million, whatever the number is.
Take all the lobbying out.
Pharma, real estate, insurance, AIPAC.
Take every one of these guys out.
What happens?
Well, if you take the lobbying out of it, there's going to be a lot more variability in our elections because someone who's in the seat, who now has the people in their pocket, that's very hard to overthrow.
It is very, hard to defeat a U.S. senator.
Go look at the number of incumbent senators, absent some terrible scandal that get over that get, I shouldn't say overthrown, that sounds revolutionary, that are defeated.
The most powerful word in American election lexicon is incumbent, because incumbent means there are people that you are serving that want you to stay there.
And the industries have the lobbying behind it.
Pat, if that wasn't there and those lobbies weren't there, then it would be much easier for people with new ideas and new focuses to run against, especially in the perpetual two-year race, because it's every two years for a congressman, every two years.
Without that incumbent label, without all the lobbying money that they get, they would now be raising money from grassroots, people like you and me, or unions could give directly, but you wouldn't have the active lobbying groups.
Remember, there was one of the biggest white-collar crimes in Washington was, what was his name, Jack?
He always wore the little black bowler hat.
And he was a paid lobbyist.
Help me out, Rob.
You know what I'm talking about?
And he ultimately, no, we'll find him.
And he used to wear that dark black jacket all the way down and the hat.
But anyway, there's an example.
Sounds pretty shady, is what you're saying.
Criminal, it was criminal lobbying that was going on, where the lobbying was going beyond.
And so without the lobbying, Pat, elections would normalize quite a bit.
And you would also have the following happen: laws that get passed would have more scrutiny because the lobbyists, if you go look at it, what percent of laws that are sponsored by a congressman are actually written by lobbyists?
That's him right there.
That's a jacket right there.
That's him.
Yeah, that was him.
And he was the OG badass of lobbying until he got busted.
Patrick has a picture that you showed about some of the things that we're talking about.
So there's the two things, Pat.
Elections would be easier for new people with ideas, and laws would no longer be written by lobbyists.
And then just say, okay, Patrick, we got you elected.
Here's the thing.
Put the bill through.
And the lobbyists are writing the bills.
Dirty secret.
Who could get rid of them?
And who doesn't want to get rid of them?
We need a Buford pusser type character.
Would Trump get rid of them?
I would hope.
I would hope he's never talked about it, though.
He could be a Buford pusser.
Because let me tell you, all of corporate America wants to lobbyists because it makes their lives more stable because you don't have regulation coming and going.
Corporate America wants it, especially energy and pharmaceutical.
They want it.
Who else wants it?
The unions want it.
It makes their lives more stable.
And in what way do they play a positive role?
Is there anything positive that they play?
Well, when you see parent groups joining, when you have, okay, I'll give you a great example.
There is, oh, I just blanked on her name.
She's in Texas.
She's a doctor that was anti-vax.
She works at Houston Hospital.
She has a very vibrant Twitter account.
But she's been out there with grassroots people talking about Mary Bowden?
Yes, Mary Tally Bowden.
And she's been out there with Citizens Group.
There's an example of good.
They have been trying to lobby and get their voice heard about, you're wrong about the vaccine.
We have other data, but they get drowned out by the big money.
And so small lobbying efforts, you know, that have a cause, sometimes they get vindicated like she, they tried to cancel her how many times?
And now she's been vindicated that her and all the parents and the citizens that were saying there's other data, please listen, please.
They're pleading like little tiny voices in the night.
This is an example.
And now she's vindicated.
They were like, you're going to lose your medical license.
You won't be practicing.
And as soon as you lose your license, we're going to go after you for disseminating fraudulent information.
Well, guess what?
Guess what?
She did.
She's vindicated.
And now she's out there on podcast and on TV saying, and you'll see things.
Mary, how did you, Dr. Bowen, how did you bear up under it?
We knew we were right.
We knew we had the data.
How did you get through that, that, that fog?
How did you move it?
I had the support of all these people that agreed with us.
We were doing it.
And that's an example, Pat, of a good lobby.
And now we find out that she was absolutely correct.
I don't think lobbying is all bad.
There's certainly pros and cons in it.
Like, for instance, you know, when I go to these Finseca insurance type conferences, we go to the Hill and try to educate our congressmen on the benefits of financial services and, you know, using our expertise that helps the general public and representing interests.
And all these groups are special interests.
I don't have a problem with that.
The problem when you can just, you know, you hear they're bought and paid for, bought and paid for, bought and paid for, when you have so much money, whether it's the farmer groups or whether it's big oil or whether it's big war, you could buy these politicians and put them in your pocket.
And then that's how you get crony capitalism.
That's how you get corruption.
So I don't know the happy medium of it, but it's certainly getting out of hand.
Rob, I think maybe the solution is the following.
And Mexicans have figured it out.
Because I think for us, like we got to graduate this way we're going and maybe we just got to go back to the old school way of politics.
Duels.
I mean, you just watch this one here.
They're having a friendly conversation.
Look what happens.
This is what?
Mexico senators fight during session over speaking rights.
Go ahead, Rob.
No me toques.
No me toques.
Oye, ¿tú tienes un problema?
Sí.
To quiet.
Okay, vamo no, oh, yeah.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Oh, yeah, Joe Lee.
This guy gets shoved.
Get out of here.
You need a camera.
LeBay's standing over him, you're right.
Look, put your camera.
Look at him.
He's like, stay down.
Oh, yeah, me gente.
That's what's happening.
This is awesome.
This guy's like the gangster of Mexico.
Hey, what's up?
Me and you, homie.
And then afterwards, they're having beers together.
And then.
And these are the civilized ones.
These are the politicians.
Wait till you get the gangs in the parliament fight.
By the way, Mexico is her junior league.
Let's go to Taiwan.
You know what?
Dana White, I don't need you at the White House.
I need you on Capitol Hill.
Yeah.
Taiwan, what?
Taiwan parliament fight.
December of 2024.
I think some guy had nunchucks in this one.
Look at this.
They're stacking the furniture.
That's a girl.
He's tackling the family.
That's making a tackle.
That's a chick.
That's not real.
No, no.
And look at the chairs who have to do it.
There is no way that's real.
No, no, no.
There are videos or no?
Yes, there are.
Go to media.
That's it.
That's it.
Look, oh, he took the notes.
He's got the legislation.
He's headed to the goal line.
He could go all the way.
This is in Taiwan.
Yeah, this is Taiwan.
This is Taiwan Parliament in December 2024.
They ended up stacking the furniture.
They stacked the furniture up to keep others from getting in here.
Here she goes.
What are they fighting about?
Probably not wanted to be taken.
You got a hip on water.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Oh, here come the chairs.
Get him.
That's great.
Well, now I'm hungry.
You can pause it, Rob.
So I think we should say that our congressmen and congressmen are whoops.
It's hilarious.
Well, that's also lobbying makes you weak.
Can you imagine Chuck Schumer?
I haven't tried to like Jerry Nadler fighting like, what's that old guy?
Who's the old report?
Who's the old cherry report?
Chuck Brassley.
But you said he cracked in his pants once.
What would happen here?
Oh, my God.
Actually, I totally approve of what they're doing over there in Mexican Congress right now.
Paid for it.
Because the old vigilante justice, you see what's going on in the cartels.
We talked about the most dangerous cities in the Western hemisphere.
I think seven out of the top 10 were in Mexico.
You know, my buddy Adrian just got back from Durango, Mexico.
And I was like, how was it?
He's like, oh, it was amazing.
I go, what's the corruption like?
You fear for your life?
No, it's safe.
It's safe.
I go, you sure?
Because all I hear is, you know, politicians end up dead and all the craziness going on.
He goes, no, no, no, no.
They worked it out like a couple months ago.
No more kidnapping of innocent people.
I think they're working on it.
I was like, oh, that's like a new thing.
No more kidnapping innocent people.
He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was pretty safe.
I was waiting for President Trump.
I'm Donald Trump, and I approve of this fight.
Killed it, Tom.
All right.
Okay, so let's go to the next story here.
Next story is Donald Trump looks terrible.
Why won't the press ask him what's wrong?
Okay, and Adam wants to talk about this story, so I don't come to you first.
Okay.
Donald Trump looks lousy.
He is unexplained.
Bruises on his hands.
His ankles are swollen.
He's walking oddly.
He keeps mixing up names or using the wrong word during press availabilities.
The question about what's legitimate in diagnosing presidents and afar has become more than just an academic exercise.
And given the indoor world's most demanding job, the debate has also been fueled about age.
Social media has no such complications about speculation.
The last few weeks have been considerable focus on Trump's ill health with his hands.
Rob, is this what?
She's been asked the question about his health.
So this is last month because President Trump's hand was seen bruised last month, and Caroline Levitt was asked about that.
And here's what she said about his health.
Recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand.
This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.
This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy.
And the president remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here.
So the president wanted me to share that note with all of you.
I'm happy to take further questions on it.
Gotta love it.
You know, where Bologna says, I hate my press.
And the president was like, nah, I do this every day.
And by the way, do you remember how many times Biden took questions during the four years he was in?
Do we actually know the stats?
How many times did President Biden allow press to ask him questions, okay, live during his term?
Do we know that?
It has to be a handful.
It's not a big number.
By the way, who knows who's going to be coming out with these numbers?
They're probably going to give bigger numbers than what it really is.
Approximately 36 times amongst seven most recent presidential presidents on Ronda General.
What's the number?
36, but look at how many Trump had, Obama and Reagan had.
Trump had 468.
Obama did 570 in his eight years.
Reagan did 262.
Biden did 33, just so you know that.
33 is what Biden did.
Okay.
What's the bottom one saying?
The 588, only 500 QAnon's going to second to only 664.
Trump.
Okay.
So, yeah, this guy's not out there.
And what Trump is doing is he's completely out there talking to everybody.
But Adam, what are your thoughts about this whole health scare that people are talking about?
Yeah, well, Donald Trump is probably going to die.
The good news and bad news, depending on what you feel about Trump, is it's not going to happen anytime soon.
He's going to live at least to age 90.
Now, where am I coming up with this?
Two different reasons.
My expertise is literally in longevity and longevity markets and life expectancy.
That's my industry.
And then number two, precedent.
So with the exception, since 1980, you talk about President Des, with the exception of Richard Nixon, who died at 81, every single U.S. president made it to at least 90.
Reagan was 93.
Ford was 93 as well.
Bush Sr., 94.
Jimmy Carter, your favorite president pet, made it to 100.
I believe he died last year, although Vinnie preemptively thought he died much earlier.
Biden is, what, 82, going on 102.
We'll see how long he lasts.
He's still there.
Trump is 79.
He's lean, mean, and orange.
He's doing his thing.
He's high energy.
He's active.
He's a fighter.
He's a survivor.
Based on my indications, based on whatever health issues we know, get used to seeing Donald Trump in the Oval Office.
Whether he runs in 2028, I think is a farce.
But Donald Trump, for all the betting people out there, will make it through his final term in office.
And then he'll have a sunset.
I mean, but in regard to this, Tom, sorry, not to cut you off, Tom, I mean, aspirin, what she's talking about is, you know, baby aspirin for your blood.
Like a lot of people, even my doctor's like, take a baby aspirin tuable at night before you go to sleep.
It helps with your circulation.
But it's, it's, and I mean, let's, let's be honest, he does shake hands and he's aggressive when he shakes hands.
That might be, yeah, Tom, trust me, he's shaking my hands.
Shake Tom's hand right now.
Show him how it does it.
Rip his shoulder out.
Rip that shoulder out.
President, but you know, it makes how I'm after those weightlifting.
But he's not, and I think you mentioned this yesterday, too.
It's not like, guys, he doesn't hide.
He eats Big Macs.
When you go on Air Force One, there's nine Big Macs and you have to eat it because that's all they have is Big Macs and McDonald's fries and he drinks Diet Coke.
And RK sitting there going, I wish I wasn't in this phone.
Yeah, exactly.
But the only thing that makes me laugh that the media is worried about him when for four years, Biden was falling upstairs, forgetting everything, shaking hands with ghosts, lost his mind.
They didn't say, he was literally shaking hands with nobody and they said nothing.
And now they're like, oh, Trump is in bad shape.
I'm going to be honest, though, but he doesn't look that great.
He's in his 80s, like you said.
He's eating on health.
He's 99, Vinnie.
Have a little respect.
2026 is going to be the greatest year of our lives right now.
He's going to be 80.
A country's going to turn 250.
I wish he had McDonald's.
I want to live as long as he can.
You're not going to change somebody at that age and you're going to be like this.
Put the Big Mac down.
It's not going to happen.
Hey, I think we've got a lot of octogenarians in Congress and the Senate.
And I think what we just went through with Biden, where now we hear out he was honestly incapacitated in some way.
That's that task.
That's terrible.
And since he was incapacitated and went through all this, I think it's a fair question by the media.
The media sits there and looks, hey, the prior president, now we know some of us covered it up.
Okay, maybe shouldn't have done that.
Not going to admit it.
But it's a fair question we need to ask.
How is the health of our leader with so much to do on a world stage?
Doing just fine.
I don't want to hear it appear that there may be some stuff going on with a 70-something-year-old president, but other than that, he's in good health.
Patrick, and moving forward, and it's not the visible things that we saw previously.
And it's not Mitch McConnell basically having, you know, like Mike, I don't know what you call it, but he would freeze up.
If someone, I mean, Adam and I have been around a lot of older relatives and stuff.
If we had an older relative freeze up at a dinner the way McConnell did, wouldn't we start going through?
No, I'd re-elect him.
No, no, no.
You and I would go through the stroke checklist.
Try to get him to say something.
Try to do these things.
Remember, McConnell freezes up?
Yeah, multiple.
And so you would get concerned for a family member and say, hang on, let's go through the stroke checklist.
Let's call 911.
And so it's a fair question by the media, but it looks like Trump's in good health, all things considered.
I want to get Patrick's perspective on this because you said something the other day.
It's not about lifespan.
It's about health span.
Unpack that a little bit.
Yeah, I mean, we just met with a guy who was one of our neighbors, brilliant guy, doctor, cardiologist.
He says life is about health span, not lifespan, how long of a healthy life you live.
It's not about you could live up to 90, but the last 20 were miserable, you know, versus you live 85, but you live a healthy 85.
He's golfing out there.
You know, he came back from Alaska, gets a couple hours of sleep, gets back on a golf course, noon he's golfing.
So, you know, yes, that hand stuff, you got to look for, look at it, make sure everything is good.
What I do know is, you know, with the help of Tom's, you know, a lot of the content he talks about, we have a massive surge in our octogenarian audience that watches the podcast.
And we welcome all of you, and it's just an awesome audience.
And, you know, they buy, they still buy Future Looks Bright.
They still are like, no, I'm still excited about the future.
They don't buy green bananas, but they'll buy some Future Looks Bright Sprite.
They believe the Future Looks Bright.
Definitely.
All right, let's go to another story of this guy that decided to run the middle of the street, gets arrested.
This guy's name is Lil Nas X. Rob, if you want to pull up this clip, I don't even know.
I guess we have to show the cliff work to make sense.
So this guy is, I mean, look, before you watch it, he's in his white tight.
I don't even know what that is.
So let me just kind of read it to you.
Vinny was like sent emails.
Can we please cover this twice?
We did not.
So I'm only doing this because Vinny really wants to cover this story because it has a lot to do with the economy and politics.
But let me just set it up and then I'll give it to you.
Little Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, was released from jail Monday after posting $75,000 bill following his arrest on Thursday in Studio City, California, where he was seen walking naked down Ventura Avenue, apparently at 4 o'clock in the morning, leading to a confrontation with police user at Taser to subdue him.
As reported by TMZ, he was charged with four felony counts, including three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer with a criminal complaint stating he did unlawfully use force and violence and inflict an injury on three officers he reasonably should have known were peace officers performing their duties.
LA County District Attorney Nathan Hockman, no relation to October Girl, stated attacking police officers is more than just a crime against those individuals, but a direct threat to public safety, emphasizing that anyone who assaults law enforcement will face serious consequences.
The 26-year-old rapper, known for his 2018 Old Town Road, pleaded not guilty during his Raymond Monday.
Vinny, tell us.
You want to foreshow this clip?
Well, yeah, this is it.
And mind you, you know where this is.
This is Ventura Bolivar.
You know exactly where this is.
By the way, and they claimed that he was, oh, he OD'd on drugs.
Show this.
We'll be late to the party tonight.
We're at.
You know where it's at.
Go ahead, babe.
No, no, no, no.
This is what I do.
No, no, no, no.
Go ahead, babe.
No, Didn't I tell you to put the phone down?
Like, oh, my goodness.
Uh-oh, somebody's going to have to pay for that.
God, God, God.
You know exactly where this is.
This is Ventura.
This is Ventura.
Fast forward, Rob.
Okay, fast forward, fast forward, fast forward.
You know that?
That's California Pizza Kitchen.
It's right there.
That's a man right now.
But no, fast forward, Rob.
Boom.
Everything looks normal to me.
Except he's not in a crush.
Nothing crazy, Pat.
He's actually having a shit.
Do we see cops actually get in a post?
No, no, no fighting.
None of that.
But there is a video, Rob, if you could find the aftermath.
Why was he arrested?
Just first of all, well, they said he was ODing, but guess what?
Is this him?
Yeah, this is.
And like, Pat, just look at the spiritual, like, look where he's at.
Could you show this?
This is after jail.
Your girl is going to be okay, you're your girl.
Okay.
Watch.
Look.
Look at where he's at.
Okay.
She's going to be all right.
She's going to be all right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Shit.
Look.
Look at him, Tom.
He's lost.
That was fucking terrifying.
Look, look, Tom.
That was terrifying.
Yeah, look at his eyes, bro.
That was a terrifying last four days.
But your girl is going to be all right.
Something tells me that when he went to jail, he dropped the soap on purpose.
Well, here's my opinion.
Multiple times.
Guys, and listen, I don't judge.
I'm just my opinion, Tom.
I know we were talking about the spirituality.
I don't want you to piggyback on, but that's not drugs.
Piggyback, was that a drink?
Tom, Adam, can I please finish the damn story?
This isn't drugs.
This is, by the way, I've been on drugs before.
Nothing made me want to get in my underwear and white boots and go on Ventura.
Yeah, but you're not flaming home.
No, no, no, no, I understand, but Pat, that's not.
You're under the cover.
That's not drugs.
That's something deeper.
And a lot of people say when you get to the industry, you sell your soul.
Adam, I don't want to say the name.
We talked to a guy that said to us, Pat, by the way, this guy wasn't a Christian.
He was at a house party, very talented guy, and he saw things and he admitted to me.
He looked like he saw a ghost.
And he goes, this made me become a Christian.
And remember, guys, let's do a little backstory.
This is the same guy that teamed up with MS SGA CHF.
Remember, they made the Satan shoes.
They were alternate Air Max 97s.
They had a bronze pentagram, inverted cross.
Do you remember these?
Red accents.
And guess what?
They only made 666 pairs, 666 pairs.
Remember, this was fact-checked this.
They got sued.
They got sued.
Nike had nothing to do with this.
Nike had nothing to do with this.
They sued.
They took it down and they forced it.
And by the way, they had a drop of human blood in it.
Okay.
And at the same time, he released that music video, Montero, which he pulled danced from hell, gave the devil a lap dance, snapped his neck, and then took his drone.
And I know I mentioned this earlier in the week.
When we're talking about the fight, the battle, it's about, it's not flesh and blood.
This is Ephesians, Pat.
But Galatians 6, 7 says, do not be deceived.
God is not to be mocked.
For whatever one sows, one will reap.
Okay.
And this is what the industry does.
They sold us on this.
And Luke, what's that?
Luke 10, 18.
Tom, could you read it?
What does it say?
Luke 10, 18.
I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven as he was banished.
And guys, a lot of people go, oh, you're just connecting dots.
And no, no.
All these guys, all these industry people, they do this stuff.
Remember, Ice Spice was not a Bible verse.
That's a proof of existence.
Yes, of Satan.
That's what they're doing.
And then remember Ice Spice?
She's in the booth with Taylor Swift.
When the camera hits her and she knows, she does the devil horns and she picks up an upside-down cross.
And everybody's like, yo, you're crazy.
That's just, they're just messing with you.
And no.
And this is them giving like credence and like respect to their God.
And Rob, Bob Dylan.
I don't know.
I know we showed this once.
If you don't mind, Pat, Bob Dylan was asked by who, Ed Bradley?
Ed Bradley.
This is 60 Minutes, way back when, 60 Minutes.
Yeah, he's asking him, like, how do you keep, how do you keep going?
You give credit to your industry.
And look who he says he made a deal with.
Go ahead.
Why do you still do it?
Why are you still out here?
Well, it goes back to the destiny thing.
I mean, I made a double bargain with it.
You know, long time gone.
I'm holding up my hand.
What was your bargain?
To get where I am now.
Should I ask who you made the bargain with?
You know, with the chief commander.
On this earth.
And this earth, and then in the world we can't see.
Okay, so guys, it's not like they're hiding it.
It's in your face.
I don't want to interrupt, but I assume that's the devil, but it could be God.
I don't know about that.
Talking like that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
My thing is this, Adam.
I think these people like Lil Nas X will go to the story.
There's something when you go into this industry, you're lost.
You're spirituality in Tom.
I know you want to say something about how people are turning in England from 18 to 24 to God, which I love, but there's still a freaking battle here.
We're winning, but it's still ugly.
Yeah, you know, I don't normally mention specific books, but I'm going to mention one here, and it's Spiritual Warfare by Dr. Carl Payne.
It's a very, very balanced book.
Read chapter two with an open mind and just tell me what you think is happening here and what's happening with people.
This is not, you know, I think that pastors that are out there that are doing, you know, these fake exorcisms and these stage shows, I think that's a sham.
But I think that people that fail to understand that our prayer life needs to include protection from the dark forces, that's a shame.
If you don't see that and you look at the amount, people say, you know, look how much Jesus talked about money.
Well, you need to also look at how much he talked about spirit forces and saying these only go through prayer and fasting.
You know, there is the in Acts talks about the seven sons of Skiva and they would, and this priest, self-appointed priest named Skeva will go around collecting money from people to say, I'll make the demons go away.
I'll make the demons go away.
I'll do all this.
And they say this man that was overwrought, you know, turned to him and looked at him and he said, in the name of Jesus that Paul preaches, get out of him.
And so in other words, he didn't have the belief.
He's referencing Apostle Paul.
And he says the man looked at him and it says, Paul, I have heard of, and Jesus I know.
Who are you?
Oh, wow.
And basically he was saying you're unarmed.
You are not covered by the Holy Spirit.
You're unarmed.
And it says he gave him and his seven sons a massive beating and they fled the house naked and bleeding.
And so, you know, you see all that.
And so spiritual warfare by Dr. Carl Payne, you know, take a look at that.
It's not about sensationalizing the devil.
It's understanding that there are dark forces on this, which is why we need Christ.
Well, there's, I mean, this is a chat GPT thing, but here's allegedly a list of famous musicians and actors who have quote unquote made a deal with the devil.
This is ChatGPT.
Check it out.
Number one on the list is Kanye.
Number two, Jay-Z Beyonce.
Obviously, Jay-Z had a relationship with Kanye.
Rihanna, Katie Perry, who jokingly said, I want to be the Amy Grant of music and I sold my soul to the devil.
Those are her words.
Lady Gaga, Eminem, Little Nas X on this list right there.
In the acting world, we saw what happened with Heath Ledger when he played The Joker and he literally got possessed by the devil.
Apparently, Kiana Reeves on this list.
Madonna, Doja Cat, we've seen what she's done in her music and she's a song about the devil.
But, you know, when they said there's smoke, there's fire.
We've seen multiple, multiple stories of people who have had fame and have kind of gone out of it and said, you don't want to see what's going on in this occult house back here.
And they get out of it.
But some people, fame over being a decent person is a higher priority.
Well, there you go.
That's Lil Nas X for you with what he's got going on.
Folks, I mean, the basic premise of this message is don't run around in your underwriter in the morning.
That's a good idea.
I don't care what street it is, Ventura, Preston Hollow, you know, Broadway, Main Street, Federal, Dixie.
Dixie!
Don't do it.
It's not a good idea.
If you're going to run around your house, fine.
Don't do it in the street.
That was a main purpose there.
Don't tell us we didn't give you a good tip today of watching the show.
Life-changing.
All right.
Next story.
Russia warning as Vladimir Putin close to first nuclear bomb test in 35 years.
Nuclear bomb test.
Why is he testing a nuclear bomb?
Who wants to see that he's testing a nuclear bomb?
Is this message to his neighbor leader that's a great dancer, great shaker?
Who is he trying to show this to that they're doing this with?
So let me read it to you.
Russia is getting closer to renewal nuclear bomb tests for the first time since 1990 in a former Soviet Arctic test site in Zavoya, Zemlya, Archipelago, and with military specialist Dmitry Stefanovich, the Russian Center for International Security and member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, warning we are closer to the situation than at any point in North Korea since last nuclear test, referring to North Korea's test in September 2017.
The director of the facility confirmed readiness, stating the test site is ready to resume full-scale testing activities.
It is fully ready.
The laboratory and testing facilities are ready.
The personnel are ready.
If the order is given, we will begin testing at the moment.
Russian politician, including Lieutenant General Andrey Grolov, who posted from the side, you know there's a lot of fascinating stuff I could say about the test site, but sadly I cannot.
The only thing I can say is we're fully combat ready.
So what are they saying?
While that story's breaking and they're sharing that, another story comes out that Russia is trying to recruit soldiers with HIV and STDs with the promise of free health care if they fight against Ukraine.
So he's actively recruiting people, civilians with HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, and other diseases in occupied regions of Donsec with healthcare access is restricted to Russian passport holders, but using signs at recruitment centers stating this is your last chance to pressure them into enlisting with the promise of life-changing health care.
So, Tom, when you see someone like this with what they're doing, first testing nuclear site, two stories about them recruiting anybody and everybody with STDs and HIV, what do you think?
You think this is all smoke signal?
You think they're all sending messages?
Or do you think there's any credibility here?
No, I've been reading behind the headlines on a lot of stuff on the Ukraine war.
And it is a fact that as of about 100 days ago, this became more of a manpower war than a technology war.
And that the drones that we're seeing flying around is not simply because of drone technology.
It is in part.
But the other problem is they are out of manpower.
And we've seen the kidnappings and conscription that have been going on in Ukraine.
And we were also seeing, we also saw some very disturbing behavior of men that were in a gay club that were being pulled out of the gay club in St. Petersburg.
I think it was.
I think the audience can help me here, but it was a gay club that was in Russia.
And these guys were getting pulled out and forced into draft.
And so it is a manpower problem that both sides are facing right now of military-age, typical soldier-age people.
And now we're seeing the next list of this because it's been going on so long.
They don't have infinite populations of young people that are joining the armed forces out of pride.
They are having to basically enforce a draft.
And when that's not working, they're having to kidnap on the streets, which Ukraine has been doing.
We've seen the videos.
How much?
Don't have exact numbers, but they've done it.
And now you've got Russia raiding a gay club and now saying, look, if you're sick, you've got controllable communicable diseases, HIV positive.
No problem.
I'll give you free health care for life if you still have a life when you're done in the military.
Yeah.
By the way, while you're saying that, at the same time, Putin, Kim Jong-un are to attend the Chinese parade in a show of defiance against the West.
So look at that team right there, folks.
Kim Jong-un, Xi, and Putin are going to be together.
Why?
Maybe they're sending a message.
Okay.
So they will attend a military parade in Beijing September 3rd, a week from now, marking their first public appearance alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping, with Chinese system foreign minister announcing at a news conference that 26 foreign heads of state and government, including Belarus president, Iranian president, Indonesian president, South Korea National Assembly speaker, will join with no major Western leaders except for Slovakia's prime minister, Robert Fikou, will be president.
The parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II will feature Xi Jinping surveying tens of thousands of troops at the Tenement Square, showcasing China's advancement, military equipment like fighter jets, missile defense system, and hypersonic weapons.
The event projects a major show of solidarity among China, Russia, and North Korea against Western pressure, with Russia facing multiple rounds of sanctions since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the scrap of Beijing as a strategic partner.
And North Korea former treaty ally of China under UN Security Council sanctions since 2006 for its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program.
Adam, what do you think with these three stories?
Yeah, well, show me your friends.
I'll show you your future.
This is the gang, gang gang right here.
You got China, you got Russia, you got North Korea, you got Iran, you got Venezuela, and then just throw in whatever autocratic regimes align with these guys.
On the flip side, you got our gang, which is the United States, and all the five eyes, which is Canada, UK, New Zealand.
You know, you throw Israel in there, you throw these democracies where people actually get elected and they're held accountable by the people, not just autocratic leaders, thug-like leaders who just do what they want.
That's the way of the world.
So, you know how they say that you are the sum of the five people you hang out with the most?
This is their crew.
This is the access of evil.
This is the excess of resistance.
The people of these countries aren't necessarily evil, but the regimes typically are.
How do you think Trump views this?
I was just going to, that's what I was thinking.
You just sat down with him.
You had a good talk.
You know, we're doing peace talks with hopefully to end this thing with Ukraine.
And then you go and you're going to go hang out with the Iran's president, just right just right there.
I mean, he has a relationship with South Korea with Kim Jong-un, but that's not Korea.
My bad.
I think that's a spit.
Isn't that a spit in the face?
Like, what you're showing your defiance to the West?
We just sat down with each other.
Yeah, but why would you think that there are friends?
There's no indication that there are boys.
No, no, unnecessarily.
As much as we're not fans of what Zelensky is doing, we're on Team Zelensky.
We're on Team Ukraine.
I know you don't want to admit it.
I'm not on team that guy.
No, no, I'm not on Team Ukraine.
Our country is.
Yeah, the country is.
I mean, but you're my American.
But Russia, like Russia, but we were told to hate Russia, hate Russia.
I don't necessarily think he's a friend, but you just came here and we're talking peace.
Now you're going to do a parade going, hey, we don't like y'all.
Like, it's counterproductive.
What the hell are we talking about?
Putin is a former, what are those three letters that he's former, what?
KGB?
KGB.
You trust KGB, not me.
You're done with KGB?
My whole family.
Is there anything here?
Or this is just a ceremony that they're paying support to?
Yeah, I think it's a ceremony they're paying support to.
I mean, we met Robert Fico at a turning point event.
He was a guy that was shot five times, I believe, and survived.
That was 50 cents.
Slovak?
No, I think Robert was shot several times in an attempted assassination during election season.
And we have South Korea's National Assembly speaker, Wu Wong Cheek.
So, you know, it seems like that there's some people from the, yeah, that's him.
And look, that guy was shot several times during an election, attempted assassination, and then he made it, you know, and survived it.
And so I think what, and by the way, he's a friend of the U.S., and he's sitting here at Turning Point USA.
We met him.
We met him.
Yeah.
And so I think there are some people that are there.
Okay, I'm being invited to this.
I'll go because they're having a gathering.
It would be different if it was just the three, you know, China, Russia, and North Korea, you know, standing doing a missile test, sending a missile over the, that's next, over the end of North Carolina, North Carolina, North Korea toward Japan.
That would be annoying.
But right now, I think they're getting together for this parade.
The people that like each other are there, and there's a couple of people from the rest of the world that are coming there, basically pay their respects.
What do you think, Pat?
What do you think is going on with all this?
I think you're the same way, like he's talking cards.
They're trying to say, hey, we're unified.
And we're also a pretty strong unified group for you to be paying attention to.
China and Russia being unified and Iran, those three countries are in our top five enemies list.
If you think about China being number one, Iran being probably number two, Russia being probably, I don't know, they're in the top five.
So I think if you were them, you'd probably do it as well.
If you were them and you are representing them, you'd probably hold this meeting to use as a leverage point that we're unified.
Yeah, but I don't know if it's going to make the relationship better or not.
And a part of it may be even in the meeting with Trump, he may have said, hey, I just want you to know I'm going to be at that September 3rd meeting with China.
So, you know, these are things like, don't read into it.
I've been committed to that for two years.
I've been committed to that for six months.
Who knows?
I'm just saying.
Yeah, I could be.
But some of these things, you've made commitments.
That's not like when you're at this level, they didn't just add this to the calendar last week.
You know how you calendar things out a year in advance?
These guys calendar things out three, four, five years in advance.
They're world leaders.
The average person doesn't understand the calendar of a world leader.
So I'm not expecting everybody to understand it.
Okay, so let's go to the next story.
I want to talk about the economy, Tom.
So U.S. economy surges past expectations as spending investment roller.
U.S. 3.3% in Q2 with growth even stronger than initially thought.
And this is a story by CNBC, Rob.
I think you have a video on this, if I'm not mistaken.
But I'll read this time and I'll come to you.
The U.S. economy grew out 3.3% in the second quarter, surpassing the Commerce Department's initial 3% estimate and 3.1% Jones consensus forecast, driven by consumer spending rising 1.6% from 1.4 on healthcare, pharmaceuticals and dining out with final sales to private domestic purchases, a key Federal Reserve metric, increasing 1.9% compared to the 1.2 estimate.
Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, stated the good news is consumption came in higher than previously thought.
Americans are continuing to spend despite the tariffs and uncertainty, albeit a lower, slower pace than past years, projecting future growth at around 1.5%, Tom.
Thoughts on this?
Is good news.
Things are working.
Is everything perfect?
Is everything perfect in every state?
Is energy perfect in California where they've kind of screwed up their green tariffs and the taxes they have on it?
Sure.
And then guess what?
Stand by for a tall presidential candidate, hopeful, to be saying things about that.
But just remember how bad it is from the taxes in that state.
But the overall U.S. economy is growing, but not too fast.
If it grows too fast, that can be inflationary.
And jobless claims were also down.
So the number of people that turned in claims for relief, that was down.
So that was good.
There's still a lot of things that need to happen.
We need the manufacturing that's coming back on shore.
We need those facilities to get built so we can get the jobs going there.
But overall, this is good.
And I'll show you a chart.
This will be interesting to you.
It involves numbers, but it's okay.
Okay.
Thank you, Tom.
Don't get a rash.
Thank you.
Too late.
Give me the Fed St. Louis, the 30-year mortgage rate, and go ahead and make that the beginning of this year.
Right over there, that little box.
Just make it 2024.
That's fine.
Sorry, which little box?
Yeah, right there.
Right there.
Make it 2024.
Yeah.
Nice.
So, and yep.
So now we see that.
Guess what?
We have just dipped under 6.5% for national mortgage rates for the first time since the blip we had with the elotion, the election.
That little down.
I love elotion.
Yeah, I just love elotion.
Put the economy in the basket.
In the basket.
Take on a second.
Have another sip of that funny juice, dropping all these words.
No, it's my Bailey's and coffee.
Off the generation, lotion.
That's right.
So anyway, there is a motion in the ocean.
Whoa, Tommy.
That's what's called dynamic growth of the economy.
Right around the election, you saw when the interest rates went down because of manipulation and pressure that was put on by the Biden administration.
However, we have not been to 6.5% for two years, and we have just touched under 6.5%.
So in addition to everything we're seeing here in the economy, with the Fed coming out and saying, oh, screw it, all right.
I'm going to lower rates on the 17th and 19th of September.
I'm going to do it.
And he gave that speech and he says, you know, I've been waiting for inflation from tariffs.
And this is what he said, which doesn't appear it's going to happen.
So in other words, there was the Fed saying, I think there's going to be inflation from tariffs.
Well, you know what?
I've been waiting long enough.
It doesn't look like it's going to happen.
So rather than just saying I was wrong and that there's a lot of good I like about Powell.
There's a lot of good.
He's had a steady hand.
But on this, I think he waited.
But right now, we've got interest rates coming down a bit.
And there's going to be another quarter point that comes out of the Fed funds rate that'll influence the 10-year treasuries, which influences our mortgages.
So in addition to what we're seeing here, we may get in the fall, Pat, mortgages at could it get to 5.99 for the best qualified people?
Maybe.
We will see.
But right now, the numbers for the economy look good, but we still need factories brought back and jobs come in here.
And we need the interest rates to go down for real because that also helps the interest we're paying on the U.S. debt.
It's 5.99 moving out of that trailer, baby.
Quick, baby.
Well, the American economy right now, it's almost like the old book, Tale of Two Cities.
It was the best of times, it's the worst of times.
And during COVID, we learned something about the K-shaped economy, about the richer getting richer and the poor getting poor and basically the wage gap that's going on right there.
There is a big difference in this country between Main Street and Wall Street.
Now, if you own assets, you're probably doing pretty good right now.
Assets are inflated, whether it's crypto, what's the stock market, whether your housing prices.
But if you're not invested and you don't own appreciating assets and you're just the average guy out there, I understand why it's very frustrating.
The mainstream guys out there, you know, wages are not up big time, and you're not really participating in what makes America incredible, which is the stock market.
So save that money and start investing, is what I'm saying.
There you go.
Okay, gang.
Well, it is Friday.
Weekends around the corner.
And we are officially, to be exact, how many days away from the vault, Rob?
We are officially 10 days away from the vault.
I cannot wait to see all of y'all here.
The event we had Wednesday night here was ridiculous of people being here.
I give a couple tours.
It felt like 120 degrees outside when I'm in the suit walking around with these folks.
Great conversations, great moments.
We had an $8 million SP3 Ferrari.
One of them just sold at an auction a few weeks ago for $25 million, $27 million.
I made an offer of $7 million.
It was just not.
No, they said no because it's just, you know, they didn't want to take your money.
But we had a great time.
Most importantly, so many networking, conversations, strategies.
It was fantastic.
And Vault Conference, we are 10 days away.
Tony Robbins, Martha Stewart, David Falk, myself, three and a half days, 296-page manual.
The event's going to be the title sponsor of the event, Goliath Ventures, founded in 2019.
Goliath Ventures, the global private equity firm focused on blockchain and decentralized finance, founded by Chris Delgado.
It's built on three pillars: technology, opportunity, and community.
Core belief blockchain is the foundation of a generational wealth shift.
Their crew will be there first time when you get there on September 8th.
We have five hours set up for networking by 10 industries.
So if you're wanting to go out there and meet others, whether you want to raise money, whether you want to find partners, whether you want to find out how other podcasters and YouTubers are doing what they're doing to grow their businesses, this is an event you go to where you get strategies and you leave.
And not only that, you build great relationships.
Don't come by yourself.
Come with your spouse.
Come with your business partner.
Go to thevaultconference.com, Rob.
If you can go to the QR code, go to thevaultconference.com, register for the event.
We look forward to seeing all of you guys there in the next 10 days.
Having said that, have a great weekend, everybody.
