Apparently, Ward got out that Nancy Pelosi is going to retire next year.
What?
What?
No.
I don't want to break it to you.
I'm serious.
No, she is next year as the greatest trader of all time in the history of Congress.
Oh, my God.
I think Wall Street's probably going to recognize her for her ability to get access to information that others couldn't.
Her due diligence and research capabilities are second to none.
And you know what she was able to do it?
While staying ethical, allegedly.
But anyways, again, I hate doing this.
I hate starting the podcast with bad news, but I had to do it.
She's at work.
26% since her portfolio that Tom has invested $50,000 in just to see how great of an investor she is since July.
Not for the years.
I was with him when he started it.
What's the rate of return since July?
26.2% since July 1st.
And by the way, listen, forget Warren Buffett, forget all these guys.
She's a told.
I don't think she gets enough credit.
But Trump calls out.
Trump calls out.
Mamdani's very angry acceptance speech.
Warren's communism never worked anywhere.
Jeffrey Epstein claimed.
You ready for this one, folks?
Maureen Comey, the daughter of James Comey.
Would let Epstein free if he implicated Trump.
Also, the dossier didn't work.
And so let's see if we can get to the point.
That's right.
The ex-cellmate.
Get somebody to rap.
Pelosi calls Trump the worst thing on the face of the earth while she's getting ready to retire.
Trump says Mamdani should reach out to him, has to be a little bit respectful of Washington.
CNN Anchor pushes back on liberal critics.
My job is not to take down Trump.
You will not believe who that is, who said something like that.
Top Trump political advisor says president will focus on affordability going forward.
Marjorie Taylor Greene tells allies she's running for president in 2028 as firebrand reinvention gains momentum, and Tom has some insight on that.
FAA, you ready for this one?
Slashing 10% of U.S. flights in 40 major cities as historic government shutdown drags on.
Governor Senator Kennedy to introduce bills to withhold pay from lawmakers during government shutdown.
Mamdani wants more money less than 24 hours after getting elected.
Vinny's got some thoughts on that one.
Charlemagne tells Van Jones to shut up over Mamdani's speech criticism.
And he said it like that, apparently.
Families are fleeing.
New York City's private schools following Mamdani's victory, competing for coveted Miami spots.
We're having dinner last night with this couple.
Not with the couple.
The couple sitting next to us.
And after they're done having dinner, I wish them a happy 37th anniversary.
She says, well, listen, we were listening to you guys' conversation.
Are you guys from Greenwich?
We're like, no, our friend here is from Greenwich.
Greg was with us.
We're having dinner.
They start telling us how things are in New York.
He's been a cop for New York for God knows how many years.
And the stuff they were talking about with New Yorkers, friends, family, their daughters was very interesting.
Mamdani taps big tech antagonist, Lena Canas, to co-chair mayoral transition team.
Dev Portnoi destroys Mamdani after election win and threatens to move Barstool out of New York City.
Democrat Ren Houston rolls out of red carpet for New York cop.
Cops disgusted with Mamdani's victory.
There should be flashing red lights, banning on Mamdani's win.
And then Fetterman blasts Pelosi for calling Trump the worst thing on the face of the earth.
Nvidia Jensen Huang says China will win AI race with U.S. Nancy.
He changes position.
Okay, that's the November 5th first one.
What I meant to say was.
That's right.
He softens as China will win the AI race.
Remarks to FT.
McDonald's, U.S. sales rise, but profits fall short as it warns Americans are dining out less on the front lines of American Car Repo.
And then Ben Shapiro calls Tucker Carlson dishonest for normalizing Nazism by hosting white nationalists, Nick Fuentes.
And then Stephen Colbert, you guys ready what he said?
Insists he's more conservative than people might think and not a lefty figure.
You know, let's cover both of those medias at the same time because we think we know why they're suddenly playing.
That's a good point.
You had a theory that I think it's worth the audience hearing about.
And we got a bunch of other things that's going on here.
This transgender person who used women's locker room at Gold's Gym stole ex-wife's name.
By the way, Vinny, you have to see the first lady that's telling the story.
She's like, I'm in a freaking shower.
I see a guy with his dangling hands.
He's exposing.
He's exposing himself to her.
And she's like, what are you doing?
And she goes, tells the gym.
And guess what happened?
And what happens?
They kick her off.
Stop it.
Do you have all those clips, Rob?
Like, I think three of them.
He literally just looks like a dude.
It's not anything true.
He's not the identity of his ex-wife that he beat the hell out of him.
I want a divorce, but first I'm going to turn you into a lesbian by me being a girl.
We'll talk about that.
Where's my license?
There's just one video of any show.
If we get time to get into it, of a patriot in the UK who's 100 years old.
And they ask him, so how's the feel now serving?
He says, all my friends that you just have to see this.
I don't even want to take it away.
You have to watch it to see what the reaction is going to be.
With that being said, gang, a couple of things that I do want to share with you guys.
This whole autopen situation is getting a little bit out of control, Rob.
If you want to pull up that clip, honestly, everybody's talking about autopen, autopen, autopen, and it's disgusting.
So what do we do?
You know, here's for some of you that have big plans for 2026.
Watch this video.
No autopen here.
This is a sharpie.
But by the way, 2026 is right around the corner.
If you got big plans for 2026 and you've never written a business plan out, or you've written it, but it's not properly structured.
You want some structure for it?
That's why I wrote this book, Choose Your Enemies Wisely.
If you haven't read it yet, click on a link below.
Place an order.
So if you want a signed copy of Choose Your Enemies Wisely, it's never a better time to read a book on business planning.
Right now is the time.
Go to VTMerch.com.
Rob, we'll put the link below if you don't mind.
We'll choose your enemies wisely right there, signed, as well as the other copies of the books that we have.
And on top of that, Rob, also put the link to business planning workshop.
I would do both if I were you.
Read the book, then attend the business planning workshop.
But we're looking forward to 2026.
Last night, we were at this America Business Forum.
I was on stage with Brett Baer, and we're watching all the people that are there, the types of business owners.
Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon goes before me, and then Steve Witcoff is there.
Then you have Serena Williams literally goes right after me.
And then Trump messaged unbelievable.
By the way, everybody in that place was talking about what's going to be happening in 2026.
So a lot of people behind closed doors are ecstatic about 2026.
If you want to get some of those strategies, register for business planning workshop.
Go to bpw.beddavidconsulting.com.
bpw.beddavidconsulting.com.
Rob, do we have that link below as well?
Perfect.
Having said that, let's get right into it.
Trump calls out Mamdani's very angry acceptance speech.
Warren's communism never worked anywhere.
Here's the president.
I'm so torn because I would like to see the new mayor do well because I love New York.
I really love New York.
When I left New York for Washington, New York was doing really well, but there were some bad signs.
The bad sign was a guy named de Blasio.
So the signs of de Blasio, that was the beginning and it was bad.
This one, we're going to look, for a thousand years, communism has not worked.
It just, communism or the concept of communism has not worked.
I tend to doubt it's going to work this time.
Did you see his victory speech?
No, it's literally never worked.
Yeah, I thought it was a very angry speech, certainly angry toward me.
And I think he should be very nice to me.
You know, I'm the one that sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him.
So he's off to a bad start.
Tom, thoughts.
So I think he's speaking for a ton of people.
You know what was crazy?
On the Democrat side, you didn't see like this unified cheering section.
No, you did not.
You did not at all.
And Trump is leading what a lot of people are saying.
I mean, in the story rundown that you just did, you know, five minutes ago, Pat, four minutes ago, there's all of these things where people are talking about, I'm upset, I'm leaving, I'm moving out, people in Miami.
And so I think he was measured, and I think he made a point to people.
Communism doesn't work, gang.
You may be upset, but how you voted has consequences.
It doesn't work.
And he's reminding them what they voted for.
And I think, if anything, the president was measured and showing some leadership here, not going off the way we know Trump can go off.
Yeah, I thought so as well.
By the way, you know what I liked?
It's a very weird combination of the next video I'm going to be showing you guys.
Next video is a video of Scaramucci, who is not a fan of the president.
No, not at all.
But watch what he said about Mamdani, and it teaches a little bit of history here about what happened to New York with a mayor in the 60s and how long it took for New York City to recover from it.
Go ahead.
...is by 2% on people earning over a million.
That's what he says he's going to do.
In exchange for free buses and free health care and free child care.
I understand that.
But the last time they did that, the city and the state lost 600,000 top people into places like Texas and Florida, and they're spending 185 days in those areas and less time in New York.
And so that hurts the whole economic ecosystem.
So he could do that, but he's got to get Governor Hochul's approval.
He's got to get the Assembly and the state senate to do that in Albany.
But there's another big problem.
If you examine his campaign, it's very similar to John Lindsay's campaign in the late 1960s.
People don't remember John Lindsay, but what he did was he borrowed a tremendous amount of money to put through a lot of free services.
The tax revenues went down, the base went down, and by 1975, his successor mayor, Abraham Beam, was stuck in a financial crisis, and they had to effectively declare bankruptcy for the city and then restructure the city.
It took 15 years.
It wasn't until 1990 that the city actually started healing itself.
So we'll see.
People from Wall Street that have met with the new mayor, the mayor-elect, are saying that he's arrogant.
So we'll see.
He wants to raise taxes.
What do you think about what Scaramucci said there?
I think Scaramucci is right.
And I'll give you personal reflection on it.
In 1976, I was in middle school, and we had a field trip.
We were going from Connecticut, took a bus into New York to go to two museums, Museum and Natural History.
It's been there and just museum stuff.
And my mom was worried about it because New York was on one side of New York were these things like museums, but the other side of New York, it was like a susspool.
There was this thing called 42nd Street.
And if you look up 42nd Street in the 70s, it was a cuss pool.
It was worse than Main Street Amsterdam with prostitution and peep shows and pornography, you know, advertised right on the street.
It was really bad.
Wow.
Really, really bad.
And this is 7580.
And that's exactly when Mayor Beam came in.
And I remember as a freshman in high school, sitting in Connecticut, and we had like an economics and sociology course, and they were talking about the plight of New York City, that this incredible city, and it's all this thing that was in such trouble.
And they were in trouble.
They were looking for federal support.
They were looking for help.
And I'll tell you, he's right.
Scaramucci there can sometimes be very blustery, but he is correctly talking about what happened in the 60s.
And all of a sudden, 1975, Mayor Beam inherited this mess.
He was followed by Mayor Koch.
And finally, he's right.
It took until the 90s to get the city on its feet.
And then remember, Rudy Giuliani took it up a level and went after the mob, went after the waterfront and went after things and took it up a lot.
So look how long it took.
It wasn't just.
I don't know if everybody is thinking how long it's going to take to recover, but some people are just excited about it.
Adam, your thoughts on this here.
So as someone that is the biggest advocate for Miami, I kind of feel grateful because, you know, they say finders, keepers, losers, weepers are, you know, one man's loss is another man's gain.
I truly believe we're about to see the decline of New York City.
And it pains me to say that because even though that I'm born and raised in Miami and I love Miami, this is where I want to be, New York City is my favorite city in the world.
I've been to London, I've been to Paris, I've been to Rome, I've been everywhere.
New York City has something so unique about it.
And to see a self-proclaimed democratic socialist slash communist slash Islamist slash pro-Palestine terrorist sympathizer be the mayor of the home of capitalism, the home of Wall Street, the home of the New York Yankees, and we know an owner or two.
It's just, it's sad, but it also tells you that New York has to look in the mirror and say, how did we get here?
And I said this before.
I think that when they did the, what was it, the organizations they did in the Wall Street thing?
What do they call it exactly?
Occupy Wall Street at the moment.
That that movement did not dissipate.
It only grew.
And you have these 35 and under crowd who genuinely hate what America stands for.
They hate what capitalism stands for.
All they know is socialism.
And if you look at Gen Z, they empathize way more with socialism.
So we're starting to see the cracks in the vase that is New York City.
It doesn't make me happy to see it.
But as someone that lives in Miami, I know that realtors are salivating.
I know that business people are salivating.
And the future looks bright in Miami.
Here's what President Trump had to say when he said the, you know, turn up the volume.
When Mamdani said, President Trump, I know you're watching this.
Turn up the volume.
Go ahead, Rob.
At one point, he says, turn the volume up.
So hear me, President Trump, when I say this.
To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.
How do you respond to that?
Does that affect anything you're going to do?
It's a very dangerous statement for him to make, actually.
And, you know, you talk about danger.
I think it's a very dangerous statement for him to make.
He has to be a little bit respectful of Washington because if he's not, he doesn't have a chance of succeeding.
And I want to make him succeed.
I want to make the city succeed.
I don't want to make him succeed.
I want to make the city succeed.
And we'll see what happens.
Did you see reaching out to him?
I would say he should reach out to us, really.
I think he should reach out.
I'm here.
PBD, how do you process that?
Because to me, that's a very mature diplomatic statement when he could eviscerate him.
How do you interpret that?
Talking about what I said last night, what I said last night when I said he's at level 100, that having gone through the fire, mentally tough.
Vinny, what are you thinking?
Well, I mean, well, first and foremost, on the Mamdani situation and how he spoke, I want people to understand the sudden switch.
Did you see Van Jones when he was on whatever show he was on?
And he's like, I can't.
This is literally the moment he wins, he gets behind the mic, and you hear the anger.
Do you hear the bitterness?
It's almost like a, I got you.
And it's people like Van Jones that got buyers remorse because they were talking so proud about him five minutes before, Pat, and they were duped.
He said, um, he goes, he used to be calm, warmed, and embracing.
Yeah, that's what you get.
He exposed his true Marxist attitude.
He was angry.
Is this it, Rob?
Yes.
Can we play that, Rob, Pat?
I think he missed an opportunity.
Missed an opportunity.
I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech.
And I think that Mamdani is the one you need to hear from tonight.
There are a lot of people trying to figure out: can I get on this train with him or not?
Is he going to include me?
Is he going to be more of a class warrior, even in office?
I think he missed a chance tonight to open up and bring more people into the tent.
I think he had still his tone, and it's like weird.
Weird.
And what happened, Pat?
What is it always about?
Who's tenth, Vinny?
I'm sorry?
Whose tent is Van Jones talking about?
Which one?
When he says, bring more people under the tent.
Which tent?
He's talking about the Democrat Party.
Of course, that's the tent.
Vandami is not building that tent.
No, and who voted?
And I was trying to think, because we saw the numbers and I saw a chart to Rob.
Who voted?
Who were the majority of the people that were voting for him?
Were who?
The working class?
No, it was angry, white, liberal women, and the younger people that are getting promised free stuff.
And you made a great point, Pat.
And this is the third time that I'm talking about it.
Everybody's talking about the mass exodus.
Okay.
All the millionaires and billionaires that Bernie Sanders talks about.
And you said it last night again.
Who's going to be moving to New York?
Okay.
Illegals?
Because he's going to be soft on crime and he wants to empty up the jails.
Number one.
Number two, all the criminals, all the illegals.
Everybody wants to come because, you know, why be in jail?
He loves illegals because it was a sanctuary city.
And then, honestly, the Muslim community.
And I want everybody to understand one thing.
I criticize Christians.
I criticize Jewish people, Israel.
And don't think for two seconds that I'm not going to criticize Muslims as well.
This is October, Pat.
This is a father walking through the Bronx.
And if you don't think this is going to start happening, you're an idiot.
This is a guy in the Bronx.
And I'm all for everybody having your religions.
They're in the middle of the street doing this type of prayer.
Go ahead, Rob.
Play this.
October.
But you cannot take off.
Who said me?
What gives you special purpose?
You cannot take ready?
You cannot do that.
Tolerant.
Boom.
This is in the Bronx, New York.
A father's trying to walk.
This is the Bronx.
And if you don't think this is going to start happening more and more and more, you are insane.
And can I make one?
Rob, you can stop it.
And then did you see his intern, Mandani's intern, how her attitude is about.
Oh, you guys already played it?
Okay, so we don't have to play it.
But I'm just telling you, Pat, I feel like this guy is going to be the beginning and it's going to start happening more and more and more.
And I give it two years and people are going to see what New York is because.
Van Jones had it backwards.
He's correct, but he has it backwards.
He said this Mandami was the Mandami that we saw, the warm and, you know, toned down a little bit during the campaign is not the Mandami we saw here.
You need to understand, Van, the Mandami you saw here is Mandami.
That's the Mandami you didn't see during the campaign.
This is the real guy.
The box is open and the rope, you just paid for it.
Now you got to open the box and see what you really bought.
And for everybody that's in New York, and I'm going to pray for you, and I'm sorry, you were like, he's all the free stuff, free buses.
We don't need, we're going to tax the rich.
What did he do the very next day?
He's asking for your money.
Play this, Rob.
Oh.
Good morning, New York City.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Last night we made history.
And today we begin the work of making a new administration.
Welcome to the transition.
Great.
This is the period over the next few months where we build a city hall that delivers on the promises of our campaign to make New York City affordable and to make government accountable to the people.
As we prepare to govern, we'll start announcing the leaders who will help implement our agenda.
People like deputy mayors who oversee entire areas of government and the commissioners who carry out the critical work of City Agency.
These appointments will be driven by excellence, integrity, and hunger to solve old problems with new solutions.
Talking to organizers on the front lines of the fight to improve our city, government veterans with proven track records, policy experts from around the country and the world, and working people who know better than anyone in our neighborhood.
And this will be a period like the campaign we ran in the city hall to come, defined by transparency.
Because New Yorkers deserve a government they can trust.
On January 1st, I will be your mayor.
Yes.
New Year's Day and a new era for this city.
Oh, one more thing.
One more thing.
You have to wait.
Remember how I told you a few months ago to stop sending us money?
Guess what?
You can start again.
Yeah.
This transition requires staff, research, and an infrastructure that can be.
We need money.
Stop.
It's not possible.
All that thing about all the buildup.
We're going to do this, we're doing this, but I need your money now.
Yeah.
I mean, look, I'm not surprised.
I will tell you, you know, when this is happening, the biggest question is, what level of action families will take?
You know, we were at a dinner last night.
Everybody was speaking about this.
They're walking by our table.
They're talking to us about what's going on in New York City.
Lady's got a 65-unit apartment that her father gave to her in her inheritance that she took over.
She sold in January.
She says, you know what some of the laws were in New York?
Just people didn't have to pay rent.
And they're like, no, I don't have to pay rent.
But you make money based on the new laws that they have.
I don't have to pay rent.
I saw a clip, Rob.
I don't know if I send it to you.
I don't think I send it to you.
I'm going to forward it to you.
And if you can go to like the 40-second mark when I forward this to you, it's a video of him saying he's highlighting this apartment where the owner is not taking care of the tenants, which makes sense.
You know, there are owners that don't take care of the tenants and the tenants have the choice to leave to go to a different place.
You don't have to stay there.
But watch what he says, which is the most powerful part, folks.
And if you can fast forward, Rob, and go to right about there, play it from right there.
Watch this.
Go ahead.
The mayor's office to protect tenants, bringing code enforcement under one roof and making sure that agencies are working together to hold bad landlords accountable.
Starting on day one, we will expand the city's special enforcement programs, doubling fines for hazardous violations and tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous.
And when a really bad landlord like this guy refuses to fix it, the city's going to step in, make the repairs, and send them the building.
If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building.
We're putting the worst landlords out of business.
And we're going to transform the city.
Go back five seconds.
Go back five seconds.
Go back right there.
Say it again.
Listen, folks.
Go ahead.
Like this guy refuses to fix it.
The city's going to step in, make the repairs, and send them the bill.
If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building.
We're putting the worst landlords out of business.
And we're going to transform 311 by bringing the latest in cutting-edge technology.
Yeah, Ben Phillips, shout out to him.
He sent this clip to me.
And he says, we're going to take over the building.
So it's theirs.
It's the city's.
You mean like seize the means of production like communists?
Wait a minute.
So he's saying the quiet part out loud.
Yes.
And people voted for that.
That's right.
Bravo, New York City.
But the point is, you know what that means.
Yes.
You know what that means.
Challenge is he's going to need Albany to get some of this stuff done.
That's what this family was saying last night.
He's going to need Hokul.
What's the likelihood of Hokul agreeing to the 2% increase on the rich?
Very low.
She's up for reelection.
She's up for reelection.
Does he need her help also to be able to increase the corporate taxes?
Same thing.
He's got to go through Albany.
Of course.
Tom, yes?
Yes, some of it.
And I'm diving into it with Brandon so that we can really know step by step what he can and can't do.
Some of the things he can do with the stroke of a pen, similar to a president's executive order.
Some of the other things he can't.
We're going to put the list so people can see.
And remember that one mayor that Skiramucci was talking about, Lindsay?
Pre-1971, you know, this guy apparently used to be a Republican guy.
Then he became a Democrat and he stayed with the party.
Can you zoom in a little bit, Rob?
Go down a little bit on his political affiliation.
Okay, right there, right to go up.
1971, during his term as a mayor, Lindsay switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party.
Same year, he launched a brief, unsuccessful bid for Democratic presidential nomination.
In 1980, he made an unsuccessful bid for Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
So this has been tested out.
The only difference with this guy is he wasn't a, you know, a Muslim himself.
He was, what happened?
Look where he went to school.
You're right.
Keep going.
But look where he went to school.
What's that?
What school are you seeing, Tom?
The Buckley School, highly liberal, St. Paul's and Yale.
Yeah, but here's, I want to get to this next one, and then we can kind of move on from Mamdani because he's officially yours, New York.
Congratulations.
We're very happy.
Congratulations, Derek.
Cause yeah, so Zorhan Mamdani, taps big tech antagonist, Lena Kanas, co-chair, mayoral, transition team.
You should see his transition team.
He doesn't believe in hiring men.
Okay.
It was, did you see this, Rob?
What everybody is.
Is it Lena Khan?
What's her name?
Lisa Khan.
Lisa Khan.
Go to Lena.
Lena.
I'm sorry, Lena Khan.
Play this clip, Rob.
Good morning, everybody.
It's great to see you all.
I want to start off by just congratulating our mayor-elect Mamdani on an incredible victory and a just remarkable campaign this last year.
I think what we saw last night was New Yorkers not just electing a new mayor, but clearly rejecting a politics where outsized corporate power and money too often end up dictating our politics and a clear mandate for change where New Yorkers can get ahead and where all workers and small businesses can thrive, not just get by.
I think what we saw through the campaign was an operation that showed extraordinary discipline, rigor, talent.
And I know that Zoran has the vision.
You can pause it right there.
Okay, just so you know who she is.
She's the former Federal Trade Commission chair, and she's going to be serving as a co-chair on the transition team.
And the 36-year-old Democrat who brought major cases against Meta on Amazon while running the FTC from 2021 to 2025 surprised some onlookers on Wednesday as she appeared alongside Mamdani at his first post-election press conference.
Tom, why is this so important to businesses in New York City?
Because he has picked somebody who is picking on businesses.
And by the way, this was a pick that, in my opinion, of everything I've read, that was an Obama-influence pick that was made by Biden because she was named to the Federal Trade Commission.
And my opinion, based on what I've read, is that Biden didn't really understand everything about her.
And she was kind of pushed through by other people that were working with Biden to get it done.
And all she did for her time there was question every merger.
All mergers aren't bad.
Sometimes mergers save jobs by creating a single stronger organization out of two.
And she picked on people.
And I'm not against that some of the things that Meta was asked to answer for, like the stuff they were intentionally trying to hook young girls to get them to stay on and they were suffering, you know, depression and all that.
Psychological effects.
That's where government steps in to do good things, like OSHA, right?
OSHA stepping in.
But what she was doing, FTC, this was her mandate.
She was anti-capitalist.
So it wasn't just the FTC, Pat, trying to make good business decisions, good decisions about businesses to protect citizens and investors and things.
She was actively anti-capitalist.
And I believe that she was put there by other people and that Biden didn't really know what he put there.
And now she, no surprise, the lady picking on business is now picked by Mandami to lead his transition.
One other thing to think about, I mean, listen, there's two ends of the spectrum.
She's a progressive and she's very aggressive when it comes to monopolies and antitrust laws, which we understand.
We don't want monopolies in this country.
But she's also what it would appear to be very anti-capitalist.
So I think she made her name really advocating against Amazon.
And if you remember what happened in New York right before COVID, you have a representative in New York named AOC.
Our friends in New York know her, who was vocally and politically opposed to Jeff Bezos moving a headquarters, HQ2 or something.
Exactly.
To New York.
Do you know how much money this would have brought to New York?
Do you know how this would have brought to New York?
Do you know much more opportunities?
$25,000 jobs at $150,000 average salary.
You don't think New Yorkers want that job?
You don't think New Yorkers who are struggling with affordability and the wage gap and the wealth gap wanted those jobs?
So it's okay to be anti-trust and anti-monopoly.
I get it.
But when you're anti-capitalist and anti-business, that's where people have a problem with people like this.
And, Pat, just FYI, today, Stefanik, since you guys are talking about governor, she just launched her gubernatorial race for 2026.
And she said, when New Yorkers were looking for strong, this is about Hokul, strong leadership from a governor not to bend the knee to Zorha Mamdani, Kathy Hokul bent the knee.
So it just started today.
Yeah, but the question again is, is Mamdani going to be able to do the things with taxes with the support of Hokul?
Hokul was asked about Mamdani, tax the rich, tax the rich.
Did you guys see this clip or no?
No.
Tax the rich.
And she says, settle down, settle down, settle down.
And then afterwards, when they asked her, do you, you know, what do you think?
Because she started getting upset at the audience that were chanting.
Is this the one, Rob?
That's the one.
Go ahead, Rob.
Play the clip.
Watch this.
Your first mom, governor, we need more child care.
Woo!
Universal.
Child care for everyone who wants it.
And then you hear tax the rich, I'm just talking about saying, Kick the rich, but your young people look at the money.
I can hear you.
Afterwards, when they asked her, are you going to tax the rich?
She says, you know, I don't really know what they were saying.
I thought they were saying something like, let's go.
Let's go, Brandon.
Actually, she said that.
Are you serious?
No, no, not Brandon.
She says, I thought they were saying, let's go, New York.
Let's go, something like that.
So, look, who knows?
But let's look at business owners and what type of action they're taking.
Here's Dave Portnoy, okay?
New York, attitude, energy, media, vocal.
Here's what he said about what he's planning on doing with, what do you call it, Barstool Sports and his reaction to it.
Because Barstool, I believe they're in New York City, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, definitely in New York City.
He destroys Mamdo.
He's in Florida after election.
He lives in Florida, but I think Barstool is in New York.
Destroys Mamdani after election and threatens to move Barstool out of New York City.
This is his tweet that he's saying, perfectly, what is a perfectly in New York City?
Thank God I don't live there anymore.
A relief day Portnois says he's thankfully no longer lives there.
Mamdani, just 34, got elected after Mamdani, you know, on Scott Jennings.
Brandon, a great actor on X, concluded Scott Jennings sums up Mamdani perfectly.
But if this is what the people of New York City want, then so be it.
Thank God I don't live there anymore.
Portno has previously expressed his disdain for Mamdani and his left-wing ideology.
And Rob, is this him talking about the Barstool or he's talking about the fact that he's an actor?
This is the Scott Jennings clip.
Scott Jennings talking about that Mamdani's an actor?
Go ahead and play the clip.
He's the greatest actor you have.
You know, he turned himself into a hood ornament for the poor and the downtrodden.
He's a rich kid who is a great actor.
He play acts.
Yeah, I'll tell you what.
I can understand why.
And so I can understand why you'd be leery of an actor in politics.
I'm just saying, there's no other obvious Democrat.
He's got all the energy behind him.
You talk about slicing and dicing the electorate.
He's going to slice it and dice it in one way.
Oppressors and oppressed.
And I want to find out if he has it in him to give it up.
I don't think he does because that's the energy in the Democratic Party.
It's oppressors and oppressed.
That's why the Jews in this city feel scared because they know he has labeled them as the oppressors.
That's why people who create jobs in New York City are leery because he labels them the oppressors.
That is the worldview of the energy of this campaign.
And it's also the worldview of the energy of Democratic primaries across this country.
I love it.
He's like, stop talking, bro.
Oh, by the way, he's going to be in the 2028 elections.
Jennings is going to be running as well.
He may be a president, VP.
He's going to do something.
Hey, is anyone leaving New York City?
Is anyone leaving New York City?
Watch this.
Families are fleeing New York City.
Private schools following Mamdani's victory, competing for coveted Miami spots.
Adam, I'm coming to you with this one and then talking right afterwards to you.
So, you know, they're not going to leave New York City, Vinnie.
No one's going to leave New York City.
No one's going to leave.
It's not going to happen.
Zora Mamdani's victory has New Yorkers running for the Hills or at least private schools outside of the city.
Since the result of Tuesday's election, a school placement consultant, Christopher Rim, told Post that he has had no less than 23 clients reach out to him.
They're looking to relocate and they want to help getting their kids, his help with getting their kids into private elite high schools and middle schools and other states.
Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani's victory, I got three messages from families looking to move.
Said Rim, the founder and CEO of Command Education, over the summer, I started hearing families say, I don't know what we're going to do if this guy wins.
He said, feeling that a Mamdani victory was inevitable, six of his clients moved to Connecticut, Greenwich, Darien, and Riverside ahead of the school year.
They were like, he's going to win and there's no reason to wait.
The parents who have reached out to him have kids enrolled at top-notch New York City schools, including Trinity, Riverdale, Horace Mann, Ramaz, and Event Avenues.
Their children range from third grade through high school.
Many he reports are Jewish and are concerned about his rising anti-Semitism in the city and Mamdani's views on Israel.
Adam.
So it's going to happen.
You know, we're like, we're asking, we're posing this question, like, are people leaving?
I don't know.
Would they do this?
Listen, I've seen New Yorkers flirt with moving to Florida my entire life.
And pre-internet, pre-social media, pre-COVID, pre-Zoom, I would always ask these questions, especially when I was like in the nightlife world, they'd come down every winter, New Year's, have the best time of their life.
And they're like, man, I love it here, man.
I was like, well, why don't you guys just move here if you love it so much?
Well, you know, New York, family, this, that, the other.
And then what we saw happen during COVID, they were just like, yo, we out.
And if you don't think it's going to happen, there's precedent for this.
Just look at California.
You left California.
How many companies left California during COVID?
We know Tesla, Oracle, I think Hewlett-Packard, Palantir, they all moved to Texas.
Charles Schwab, Chevron, Rogan famously went to Austin.
So California, when the wealthy have had enough, they move to Texas and in some cases, Vegas or Tennessee.
It's no secret when New Yorkers have had enough and they say, all right, we can move to Connecticut, we can do New Jersey, whatever, whatever.
All right, we're out.
We're moving to Miami.
We're moving to Fort Lauderdale.
We're moving to Boca.
We've seen it a million times.
It's not even a question.
So New Yorkers are going to come here.
They're going to come in droves.
And the cost to live in Miami now is going to get more expensive.
Everything's supply and demand.
So I continue to say this.
Zorhan Mamdani is a case example of what not to do, but what to do if you want to get elected.
Think about this.
If I wanted to run as a Democrat, anybody wants to run as a Democrat, it's the easiest thing to do.
Do you want, like when I ran for student body government in fifth grade, I was like, do you want free pizza?
Do you want to have PE six times a day?
Do you want to not do homework?
Vote for me.
Everyone's like, hell yeah.
The hardest thing to do is run as a Republican, especially.
Do you want to have to work your ass off?
Do you want to have to actually put in the work and build the business?
Do you actually want to have to wake up early, get stuff done, raise your family, raise your kids?
I know it's not easy, but someone has to do it.
Are you up for the challenge?
That's the difference.
Like the Democratic Party to me is free, free, free, free pizza, which I ran for in fifth grade.
Zoron Mondani is doing it today.
By the way, got elected, homie.
Nobody ever got for it.
And then the next day he asked for money for the pizza.
Hey, so by the way, did I get some money for the pizza?
So we've seen this show before, and I love New York, but best of luck.
Buenos Suerto.
Any thoughts?
No, I just, it's, it's, to say that people aren't leaving, and we've heard it on people's podcasts, like, what, a week before it happened, they're going to leave.
Like, let me ask you a question.
If you're a, let's say you're worth $50 million and you're in New York, what's that 2%, Tom, that's going to hit you?
That 2%?
Cheers.
Oh, it's huge.
So you're making Tom do you want to do that.
So my question is, how does that feel, Tom?
Tom, look at you like.
My question is, it's actually not the 50 million.
What is it?
The 2% is a million dollars.
He's going to pay for that.
But he wants to take corporate tax from 7.3 to 11.4.
That's 4% on corporation revenue.
That means what he's trying to say is it's literally moving jobs away from, what do you call it, from companies creating the jobs to the government creating jobs.
That's all he's doing.
He's moving the 4%.
Anytime they raise taxes, the way to interpret that is the following.
They're telling you the government can do better with your money than free markets.
That's all they're saying.
The government can do better than the free markets.
It's like a new CEO getting hired at the company, and here's how they campaign.
You ready?
Hey, Amazon, vote for me to be the new CEO of Amazon, because what we're going to do is lower the salaries of the big executives, and we're going to raise the salaries of the minimum wage.
I'm going to make sure these executives that are making four, five, six million dollars a year, we're going to bring them down to a million.
No executive should make more than a million dollars a year at Amazon.
But if you're only making $60,000, we're going to raise your living wages from $60,000 to $200,000 a year.
Who's going to be voting for that?
80% of people at companies don't make that much money.
They're going to be like, holy shit, I love this CEO.
They're going to vote for him.
Then a new CEO comes in.
Then guess what those executives do?
Hey, Corn Fairy.
Yeah, I'm looking.
So if you want to call Google, Meta, everybody else, let them know I'm looking because they just slashed my salary in half.
It's basic mathematics.
Tom, go ahead.
No, you know what?
To Pat's point here, I'm going to add to it.
And the actual, and here come the haters.
You're going to just descend on me.
If you look at the report card of people that are running businesses and take away the bad actors, the people that don't treat people well, you only have about 33, 40% of executives in this country that are truly great executives.
You listen to the things about me.
Pat and I saw a clip from Jeff Bezos as he was coming in and was connected to the American Business Forum where Pat was interviewed by Brett Baer.
And you see real genius and you see people and you say, well, that's why that company's there.
And you listen to them and it's like, it's amazing.
There's only so many of them.
And if you want to chase them out of your company, you do it at your own risk.
Bad CEOs lose great teams.
We saw it happen.
We talk about Chipotle.
We talk about Brian Nicol.
You know, he attracts great teams and gets great results.
There's not a whole lot of those guys.
So if you want to chase great businesses out, there's not a whole lot of great businesses that are going to grow over 20 years and are going to bring jobs and bring things in.
There's not a lot of those opportunities.
And it's arrogant to say, well, the government that is not in the business of running businesses is going to run businesses.
And by the way, do you know how he takes away that apartment building?
He already knows he's going to get it because he's putting restrictions on you as a landlord.
He's putting controls on you as a landlord.
You don't have the money to do the things that he wants you to do.
Vinny, did you do this, this, and this?
I don't have the money to do it.
Oh, that's a no.
We'll be back next week.
Did you do this, this, and this?
I don't have the money.
Guess what?
We're going to do it.
We're going to come in and do all that stuff.
And here's the bill.
I don't have the money to do it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Give me all your keys, all the copies of the keys.
We own it.
We have the deed.
Send them the note.
It's a plan.
It's a plan.
So on one side, it's a plan.
And on the other side, and it's an unintended consequence.
You have some people that it's a complete unintended consequence because they say, we're going to be men of the people.
We're going to do this.
And you chase out the good people just the way bad CEOs chase out great, great teams.
Then on the other hand, it's intentional, intentional.
The workers will control the means of production.
We're going to take it.
Yep, there it is.
You're seeing it.
He's already speaking a language.
This guy here just literally tweeted right now, Danker D49er native.
You guys could buy a New York school and relocate them to Miami, pay the teachers to move down and draw the demand.
Eventually, we're going to be doing that, just not right now.
By the way, for those of you guys that are watching, if you haven't posted a question yet on the next circle, at the end of it, we'll try to get to one or two of the questions.
I know this topic of New York City is very, very important and sensitive to a lot of you.
Go to Manex Circle, pose your question.
That's the QR code right there.
Download the app, and then at the end of it, we'll address some of the questions.
Real quick, you interviewed a guy probably five years ago.
I believe his name was Dan Price.
Yes.
Gravity payment, something like that.
Yes.
It was a merchant account company.
Okay.
So this guy practiced what I believe was called ethical capitalism.
There he is right there.
He's sort of like a Jack Dorsey wannabe, respectfully.
He was making a million dollars a year, I believe, as the CEO.
And, you know, salaries ranged all over.
He said, you know what, guys, moving forward, bing, bing, bing, we're all equal.
Everyone's going to make, I think, $70,000 was the number.
Does that strike that?
That's it, $1.1 million or $70K.
All right.
Everyone's going to make $70K.
And oh, that's so sweet.
That's so nice.
Oh, my God.
We're all equal.
We all do the exact same thing.
Oh, we're all living in a fairy tale.
That's not how life works.
I think the company might have gone under.
I'm not sure if he's even still relevant.
I'm not sure where this story ends.
But the company did not succeed.
You can't just pay everyone the exact same amount.
I'll give you another example.
So there's two players, one arguably the best player in the league and one arguably the worst player in the league.
They're on the same team.
And one is called LeBron James and one is called Bronnie James.
Respectfully, nice young guy.
Are they related by anything?
They are, sir.
One, I think, makes $50 million a year.
And one makes, I would assume, the rookie minimum.
In this world, you pay them the exact same amount.
It doesn't matter what you've done.
Doesn't matter your track record.
Doesn't matter you put butts in seats.
Doesn't matter that you're arguably the greatest living player.
Blah, We're all equal, guys.
The problem is that's not how things work.
I think Shohei Otani, the greatest player right now, other than Aaron Judge, maybe, I think he makes, what's his contract?
$700 million?
They're showing us history.
$700 million, Tom?
Yeah, $700.
Okay.
Worth every penny, yeah?
Yeah.
And by the way, I'd like to go to the next story.
Anything else?
No, I'm just saying.
But the point is this.
People don't understand CEOs.
You pay for great CEOs, do you not?
Yeah.
Who's the guy that they said?
Who's the guy?
Was it Starbucks?
Who was the guy?
I don't take phone calls after.
Oh, I'm talking about private.
I don't take phone calls after 5 o'clock.
But they paid some guy that I think you saw in Chipotle.
You pay for greatness.
The predecessor said that.
And they don't understand that in the corporate world or socialists don't understand that.
But they have no problem with paying LeBron.
Let's go to the next story.
Let's go to the next story.
Okay.
So that's that.
Now, while all of this stuff is going on, you have Ben Shapiro blasts dishonest Tucker Carlson for normalizing Nazism by hosting white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
Why would he ever have Nick Fuentes on his podcast?
I mean, I can't imagine anybody ever doing such a thing.
But is this, what is this right here, Rob?
This is Ben Shapiro.
Okay, go for it.
Hey, folks, I want to do something different on today's show.
We're going to cover one topic in depth.
That topic is, I think, the most important thing happening in the country.
It was a hot topic last week, but I wanted to take some time to really gather my thoughts and speak on it in coherent fashion, holistic fashion.
That topic is the fragmentation of the political right.
That fragmentation is being caused purposefully by a splinter faction of people led by a young man named Nick Fuentes.
They call themselves the Groipers.
They are white supremacists.
They hate women, Jews, Hindus, many types of Christians, brown people of a wide variety of backgrounds, blacks, America's foreign policy, and America's Constitution.
They admire Hitler and Stalin.
And that splinter faction is now being facilitated and normalized within the mainstream Republican Party.
The main agents in that normalization is Tucker Carlson, who is an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor, and a terrible friend.
And Tucker Carlson last week was aided, abetted, celebrated for normalizing Nazism within the Republican Party by the mainstay organization of the traditional right, the Heritage Foundation.
Now, before we explain what's been happening, let's make one thing clear.
This is not about free speech or cancellation.
It was never about free speech or cancellation.
Free speech has a definition: the right to speak free of governmental coercion.
I believe in it, of course.
I've always defended it.
Criticism of bad speech is, in fact, just a form of free speech.
Cancellation also has a definition: the banning of particular people, including people like Nick Fuentes, from platforms like X or Facebook.
I believe that Nick Fuentes is odious and despicable, but I've never called for his cancellation.
And in fact, I've called for his restoration to those services, despite the fact that I think he's odious and despicable.
It is not cancellation to draw moral lines between viewpoints.
In fact, we used to call that one of the key aspects of conservatism.
It is not cancellation to refuse to signal boost Hitler's supporters like Nick Fuentes.
It is not cancellation to criticize Tucker Carlson.
We can pause right there.
Okay, Adam, go ahead.
No, I'm pulling something up.
Go ahead.
No, no, it's your story.
It's your story.
Go ahead, scrap it.
So when Ben called, by the way, Rob, I sent you a clip.
That's what I was waiting on.
And I'll get back to that in a second.
When Ben called Tucker Carlson an intellectual coward, dishonest interlocutor, and terrible friend, you know what stuck out to me?
The terrible friend part.
Because I'm totally an advocate of free speech.
We've had Nick Fuentes here.
I mean, I've received so much criticism for shaking Nick's hand, playing basketball with Nick.
What's weird is I get along with Nick.
You've seen this.
Do I disagree on his judgment of Jews and Israel and blacks and immigrants?
Of course.
Any reasonable person would draw those conclusions.
But is there a sliver of truth in what he's saying?
Of course.
Because otherwise, why would people resonate with this?
The terrible friend to me thing is what pains me.
You mean to tell me you're going to have Tucker Carlson, you're going to have Nick Fuentes on, who in many ways made his name shitting on Charlie Kirk.
And not even a little bit.
The entire thing.
Nick Fuentes made a living on shitting on Charlie.
And for Tucker to not even mention it once, not even like, hey, listen, as you know, Charlie was a friend.
Tucker spoke at Charlie's funeral.
How many people spoke at Charlie's funeral?
20, maybe in the world?
To not even mention, hey, I really don't like that.
I really don't, I don't like what you did there.
I hear you.
But to not even mention it, it's so weak and cowardly to me.
Okay, moving on.
If someone tells me, hey, I'm a huge fan of Hitler, I'll be like, okay, cool.
No follow-up questions, but not one.
Oh, by the way, I remember December 19th is a great day for me.
What's December 19th?
Stalin's birthday.
December 18th.
Oh, my bad.
Okay, we'll circle back to that.
Hey, Tucker, you never circled back, buddy.
And you were never planning on circling back.
So to me, I said this three months ago.
If I had to pick who actually I trust more to believe in what they believe in, Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson, give me Nick Fuentes all day.
I think Tucker's an actor.
I think he's a faker.
I think he's a gaslighter.
That's my opinion.
Come at me.
What's this?
All good.
This clip is from Denesh J'souza.
He's been on the show.
This is his opinion on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
Go ahead.
Tucker doesn't even purport to be knowledgeable about anything.
So as a result, what Tucker says is, I will develop a ventriloquist style.
I have strong opinions, but I don't want to defend any of them.
So I will set up a structure in which I bring in sources, often rather dubious sources, people you've never heard of.
You know, the nun with the mustache, some disgraced academic.
And what I'll do is I will ask sort of leading questions in which is embedded an answer.
My answer, but it's framed as a question.
You then will blurt out the obvious implications of the question, giving me the answer I expected, but I will pretend to be thunderstruck by it.
It's an epiphany.
It's a new revelation.
People have been suppressing this kind of thinking for decades.
So this is a shtick.
It's a different shtick than Candace.
Candace's shtick is the Candace Intelligence Agency.
I'm like the world's greatest detective.
You know, I'm the Pink Panther of my time.
I'm deputizing all my viewers also to be detectives.
Feed me information.
We're going to crack the case.
So to me, this is like an intellectual embarrassment because all my life, I've been an iconoclast.
You can pause that.
I actually think he's absolutely right.
That's my opinion.
But Dinesh Yes is a credible guy.
Why is Ben, what do you think Ben's so upset about the fact that he's just speaking with him?
Because you've made the point.
A bad friend to who?
Is he talking about Charlie?
That's exactly what he's talking about.
That's what he's talking about.
And here's my question.
I think so.
Well, yeah, we're assuming.
I don't know because he's not.
Say what you want to say.
Because here's my thing, Pat.
The beauty about conversations that you've had, you've talked to Bibi, you've talked to him, the spectrum of people from Nick Fuentes, everybody.
Why doesn't Ben, because Ben's turned on other times where we wanted to have debates with, meaning with Candace or him, he refuses to sit down.
Sit down with this person, have a conversation.
And guess what?
If your argument is better and it's going to win, hold on, let me ask you a question.
Do you think Ben Shapiro would sit down one-on-one against Tucker Carlson?
Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson.
And like Saturday, they've tried to arrange something and one of them.
Because my thing is this, Pen.
Who do you think won't?
Can you run a poll?
I mean, if the audience watches it, who do you think won't agree to a two-hour debate?
Tucker Carlson.
Don't say any opinions so we get them to think.
Who do you think won't do it?
Yeah.
Ben Shapiro or Tucker Carlson?
Put that poll.
Who you guys vote for?
I'm curious to know what you guys would think about this.
Who would not show up to the debate?
Who would not agree to it?
Let's just say, let's just say Megan Kelly says, I want to host a debate with Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson, right?
And who would say no to that debate?
I'm curious to know how people are going to vote.
So continue.
What you're saying is that.
It's conversation because he's going to sit there and we heard that two-minute rant of his.
He's pro-speech, pro-vis, pro-then what are you worried about?
That he's giving him a platform, that he's asking him questions?
Because I think the best thing is to do like what you did, sit there, find out who this person is.
How do they get to where they're saying?
Why are they saying the stuff that they're doing?
Is it for the clicks?
And then you let it go.
But to say that Tucker is intellectually weak and all that stuff, it's like, come on.
I have some opinions on this.
But Tom, go ahead.
So, Pat, I've been with you a long time and looking at the things, there's only so many hours in the day.
And the things we decided to talk about, one of the things that Pat pushed this year, correctly so, was the difference of signal versus noise.
Let's get to signal of the things that are going to move forward, the company, the lives of the people that are giving this chapter of their career to the company and all the things we do.
All the stuff you could talk about.
I'm trying to figure out why does Ben wake up one morning and just decide that he's going to put a well-constructed show together on Tucker Carlson for putting Nick Fuentes on the show.
Of all the things that can be talked about.
know why of the of the plate i'm gonna name two yeah The plight of the Jews and what's about to happen in New York under Mandami, the peace that's coming together, hostages and bodies that are coming home, and the future.
Where do we go from here in the Middle East?
How do we get a sustaining peace?
He's well versed on so many of these things.
Why does he wake up and take one day and more to go after this rather than all the stuff he could be talking about?
And Ben is an incredibly smart intellect that can put together amazingly crafted arguments.
I'm just as upset as he might be with it, it kind of confused me as why, why waste your airtime on this?
Do you know why?
Did you actually watch the, I think it was 40 minutes?
Did you watch the whole thing?
No.
Okay.
I've read several summaries, but I have not put it on 2X and gone through the whole thing.
I watched it.
I think if, by the way, if there were a debate, if there's one thing I will give Ben Shapiro credit for, that guy debates.
I'm not saying I agree, but look at all the Tucker interviews.
Here's the point.
He gave the whole, he outlined the whole thing.
Actually, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with Judaism or Christianity or this.
Ben Shapiro, at the very end, I don't know if we can play it, gives this sort of like impassioned speech.
He said, Damn it, I've worked my whole life for this, the conservative movement, and I'm not going to sit here while these people try to root it.
And that to me is what he's talking about.
He's basically saying our enemy should be the far left and the woke left and what's going on there.
And you're going to try to fracture the Republican Party and the conservative movement over this nonsense, over this Nazism, this racism, this chauvinism, whatever he kind of outlines.
If you go to the last two minutes, you'll hear it.
We're not going to be able to, Rob.
That to me is what he stands for.
He's basically saying the midterms are coming up in one year exactly.
The left is salivating at this internal civil war.
Because don't forget, they call it the woke right for a reason because it's a mirror image of what's going on in the far woke left.
You know, whatever's going on in the far left, the mere image to the right is what's going on.
You think Ben is a unifier?
That's not the word I would use to describe Ben Shapiro.
You think Tucker's a unifier?
No.
Okay.
You think Charlie was a unifier?
1 million percent.
1 million percent.
Well, if you're a reasonable person, you can come back to that.
Charlie was a unifier.
I agree.
I think a lot of people on the left think he was a divider.
Here's my opinion on this: on a couple of different things that I go through.
Number one: so Ben Shapiro, the more they talk about Nick Fuentes, the more they raise his profile.
Nick Fuentes, if I'm his agent, I would say, Nick, phenomenal.
Your number one PR rep this week was Ben Shapiro.
Send him a $10 GoFundMe and congratulate him saying thank you for supporting the cause and raising awareness to who I am.
Okay?
That's what that is.
Number two, you know, I would go and sit down like those trigonometry guys, you know, who their trigger nometry guys would sit down with me.
And we did an interview one time and he came very strong at me.
I'm like, that's right after I called it the daily, you know, and my Constantine did.
Yeah.
And I'm like, oh, I got you.
And I corrected him.
I said, no, no, no, no, qualify the words.
He said, I'm sorry.
I did.
Yeah.
So I don't.
So then I'm like, okay, I got what's going on because, again, I'm not in this community.
I'm like, there is a Tucker camp.
There is a Shapiro camp.
And both sides bow down to both.
Okay?
Fair, no problem.
Then there is the younger Nick camp.
And then Charlie is trying to get everybody under the camp to be working together.
Okay.
I don't know if, you know, when you hear the market talking and there's interest in somebody giving a message, the more you dismiss them, the bigger that person is going to get.
And that's what you've done.
Number two, you know, when we were having Benjamin Netanyahu on the podcast, I knew what was going to happen.
I knew what was going to happen.
I'm not even going to say what some of the stuff happened to us the last six weeks because I don't even want to advertise what happened last six weeks.
I don't want anybody to talk about what happened last six weeks.
It's no one's business.
We're going through it.
Okay.
So when we had BB, I would say death threats at an all-time high, no question when BB came up.
Then they agree, all right, Ben wants to come on the podcast.
Then when I said, you know, I want to have Nick on, I looked at the booking team.
After Ben was confirmed, I said, if they cancel, it's because of me agreeing to have Nick on.
Great.
We have Nick on.
I show the clips.
We have the conversations.
Everything takes place.
Fair interview.
You sound like a racist here.
You sound like this here.
Why are you dropping this word?
So he's kind of like, you know, even manning up.
Two weeks later, Ben Shapiro cancels.
Why?
Why do you cancel?
So what is the brand?
Why not have conversations?
We're not a fire brand.
We're not.
Well, let's see maybe next year.
No, I'm not interested.
Don't big shot yourself.
It's unattractive.
And by the way, here's what's crazy.
I've invited Tucker 50 times.
Never has he agreed to come on.
And I flew to Maine.
So it's not like I'm sitting here and what's the word?
Trying to see that, you know, both of these camps have some similarities.
Both of them.
I think Ben is a very good communicator and debate.
Are you kidding me?
When the time when that man put his hands on his shoulders, the transformation.
You don't think that's a little bit inappropriate?
Ben has got some brass and he's had some of the best fiery moments ever.
Ben, when he was young, he was on Pierce Morgan.
Pierce is about to be here.
We're doing a show with him today.
I don't know when we're doing it, but we're doing a show with him today.
And remember the first time when he was on there?
And I don't know if it was years ago, years ago, Constitution, right?
When Pierce went over there.
So, and Tucker, Tucker's Tucker Carlson.
Tucker had his moment with Jon Stewart many years ago when Jon Stewart tried to make fun of him.
That one right there.
Look how young he looks.
Not that one, Rob, all the way at the top.
All the way at the top.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at Ben.
When he brought it up, Constitution.
Yeah.
Ben has had some incredible moments, right?
With what he's done, both of them.
So to me, here's a very interesting thing that's going on.
Nick Fuentes, FYI, whether you like him or not, he ain't going away.
Nope.
Okay.
He ain't going away and he's going to have a voice.
Here's the other part.
Ben Shapiro.
Whether you like him or not, he ain't going away.
Whether you like Tucker or not, he ain't going away.
So now what?
By the way, Republicans, you got destroyed last week.
Yep.
Ready?
You got manhandled.
Not last week, this week.
Two days ago, three days ago.
Destroyed last week.
Okay.
Marjorie Tatal Green goes out there and she's talking about how she wants to run in 2028 on a firebrand.
And, you know, Tom's talking about it could be a Ross Perot type of a moment.
You know what all this leads to?
Unless if you guys find a way to get it together, President Trump is not going to go out there campaigning for everybody in 2028.
If you can't go win your small little mayoral races and contests that you got on YouTube, you're just waiting for, you know, President Trump to come and retweet and endorse you every single time.
And you can't come and take on the mantle and go fight.
There is some stuff going on in the Republican Party.
So what's the plan?
Is it going to be Tucker's camp, Nick's camp, Candace's camp, Ben's camp, all these other camps that are all over the place?
MTG's camp, Thomas Massey's camp.
And yeah, some of these overlap.
Probably Thomas Massey and Candace and Tucker and some of those guys will probably, MTG is probably going to be together.
I think maybe an MTG is going to be a little bit of a challenging moment there.
Ben's camp is going to be one.
And quite frankly, when it comes down to Ben, Ben was wrong with Trump in 2016.
Ben was wrong with DeSantis in 2020.
I would sit down and tell him like, what are you talking about, DeSantis in 2024?
So they've been, you know, it's not like they've been also right on a lot of these things.
Guys, none of us have been.
Everybody's walking around like, you know, anyways, I just think, you know, right now, if you guys don't buckle down and get locked in, 2025 ain't going to be a red wave.
2025 is going to be a blue wave that comes through because they're watching all these.
Let me tell you, Nick Fuentes is right.
Let me tell you, Ben Shapiro is right.
Let me tell you, Tucker Carlson is right.
Let me tell you.
Oh, let me tell you, Democrats won.
Yep.
How did this happen?
You did it.
So, Mr. Ben Shapiro, respectfully, Mr. Tucker Carlson, respectfully.
You know what'd be a great panel on stage is Ben, Tucker, Megan, Nick, Candice.
I think Megan can pull this off.
I think Megan could pull this off to bring this together.
I think Megan's a boss.
She's tough.
She's strong.
And she's been around.
The reason why I think she's the one that could pull it off is because she was the face.
She was like, she killed it on Fox, crushed, and she's doing great with her podcast.
So she has the mainstream and the podcast victory.
I think Megan could pull off something like this to bring everyone together.
Because at this point of the game, you know, Ben's loyalty, Ben's, you know, of course he's going to be loyal to Israel.
That's what he is.
He's very proud of his heritage.
FYI, you ought to be proud of your heritage.
I don't sit there.
I'm like, well, he's, yeah, I, when I say daily Jewish war or daily, whatever I call the Israeli war, I do think that's his priority.
I don't, I don't say that as in a, like an insult.
No, I say, listen, I'm a Syrian Armenian.
Okay?
I'm a Syrian and Armenian.
I'm a proud Assyrian.
I'm a proud Armenian.
But, you know, born in Iran, made in America without America, I'm not, I don't have the life that I have today.
Are you kidding me?
But I understand some of the affinity.
I understand if Nick goes after, you know, Tucker's dad, you know, Tucker's going to invite him to say, hey, man, listen, this is one thing I don't like when you go after my dad.
His dad's a hero.
I understand Tucker, but I also understand Nick, who's on the outside, is like, you guys not going to give me attention.
I'm going to F1 come after you guys like a freaking gangster and I want to pull up a Tupac, hit him up.
I'm going to destroy all of you guys.
That's Nick.
Nick is Tupac.
So what do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
You want to do East Coast, West Coast type of situation?
Is that what you want?
Really?
Is that what you want?
Because I think right now what Ben talked about is he's spending millions of dollars a year on security.
Why?
Who's creating it?
Who's causing it?
This isn't healthy.
This isn't healthy.
So for me, I love the debate.
Keep the debate.
I love all of that stuff.
Did you see what Megan said about this?
No, what did she say?
She addressed this.
She actually had Matt Walsh on her podcast.
They spoke for a full-on hour.
And what was the consensus?
What did they say?
So it was very interesting because she says, I'm friends with Ben Shapiro.
I'm friends.
I think she's talking.
She's the right person.
And then she's speaking with Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire.
It was very interesting, his perspective.
You know what is you know what he said?
Yeah.
About Ben, Israel, whatever.
He goes, yeah, I don't care.
I care about America.
That's my opinion.
That's been my position for 10 years.
He goes, I don't care.
So then formerly.
But Megan is, I think, someone that can pull this off.
I think Megan is somebody that can pull this off because Megan has Tucker's respect.
That's why.
Because Tucker respects the fact that Megan made it on cable, TV, and made it at podcasting.
And she's a formidable face.
She was a moderator.
Trump, hey, you've said a lot of different things about women.
No, only Rosie O'Donnell.
That's not true.
That's not true.
So, yeah, I don't know.
I just think, you know, if you go like this and the infighting continues, congratulations, you handed them 2026.
And if it continues and you think, oh, you know, a person, you know how mentally, emotionally tough and a gangster you have to be to come back and win 2024 election?
There's only one guy that could have pulled that off and it's the guy that won and he's the president today.
You think that guarantees 2028?
No.
Hell no.
No.
So welcome.
Yep.
And by the way, to Ben Shapiro's camp that this is probably going to be sent to 8,000 people voted.
68% said he's the one that doesn't want to sit down with Tucker.
And our audience is fairly fair is what they are.
So there you go.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Fairly fair.
No.
I just think it's not.
Fairly fair.
And Pat, great, great points.
And you just like, it just hit me that what you're talking about, about this, the Mamdani effect and all that stuff, Republicans are all over the freaking map.
And there's, like, the way that you just said it, if they don't come to in any situation, the midterms are not blue.
It's going to go to freaking Democrats.
And then how fast is 2028 going to come?
And Gavin Newsome just sitting at the top waiting for this shit.
Sorry for my life.
He's waiting.
He is doing it intentionally.
I'm not saying that you scared me, but you just made me go, oh my God, they're all fighting because who are all those people going to tell you to vote for?
Let's say the presidency comes up.
One's going to tell you to go this way.
Somebody's going to tell you to go this way.
The one guy that's pro-Israel, they're going to say, go this way.
It's going to be so splintered and sitting and waiting in the wings is Gavin Newsom going, hey, I love this is that they're all Hitler.
They're all Nazis.
Open the border.
Come on, guys.
Let's go back.
That's not.
I agree with the point that, you know, the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
I mean, never mind Republican Party.
Conservatism in America and the conservatism does need unity.
A week and a half ago before the election, who do we see doing photo ops together?
AOC, Bernie, and Chuck, right?
Yep.
Walking down the street.
And wasn't there three of them walking down the street, shirt sleeves, people who like this?
Do you think Chuck agrees with Bernie?
No.
They're mortal enemies.
Chuck undermined Bernie so much in 16 and 20.
Absolutely did.
And so, do you think AOC and Chuck are friends?
No.
No, I don't.
There's been people saying that she's going to primary him.
She's going after the next level seat if she doesn't run.
And then do you see that AOC and Bernie are perfectly aligned?
No.
She's too much of a lightning rod on the outside.
He's actually stayed where he is.
But why are they all walking together, talking nice together?
Because they know what unity was needed.
And their enemy was the loss they took last November.
And so the conservatives need unity.
We don't need MTG running for president over here like Ross Pro.
We don't need this divisiveness that's here.
I agree with that point that we need unity and someone needs to do it.
And, you know, Pat talking about that maybe Megan could step it up.
I think there's other people that could do it too, but we got to get people together on the core things.
Yeah, we're outsiders.
Let me tell you what I've learned at this point.
We're outsiders, and I love it.
You have no idea how much I love it.
That none of them are like, who are these guys?
The same way Ben feels about us is the same way Tucker feels about us.
But the difference is, by the way, both of them have had me on.
I've had Ben on the show 11 years ago, never had Tucker on.
But both sides are like, who are these guys?
And I love it.
I'm comfortable with this role.
We're not trying to sit here and, you know, when I was coming up in insurance, it's the same exact story every single time.
Who the F is this Middle Eastern guy with no college degree coming up taking market share away from us?
Who are you?
Every year we go to the insurance conference.
It was like this.
Who are you?
Oh, my God.
You know, get out of here, get out of here.
And then all of a sudden, boom, oh, shoot.
Nope.
We actually love the industry and we actually respect you guys.
We respect the hell out of you guys that you guys built a business.
We admire what you've done.
We admire a lot of these guys, what they've done over the years, but we have our own set of opinions.
And we're fair, we're respectful.
But at the same time, to me, it's very simple.
If I don't have a relationship with them ever for the rest of my life, I'm okay as long as America is winning.
If that's the role we're going to play, we're going to continue playing that role.
We're not somebody that's going to sit there and be like, come on, we're going to do this.
Nope.
We've had plenty of great experiences and we have very good relationship with a lot of people.
I also understand the fact that for some people, they're more uncomfortable.
Why?
One minute they're here, one minute they're there.
They'll call this person out, but they'll call that person out.
They'll have Netanyahu, but they'll have Nick Fontes.
Yeah, we will talk to everybody, period.
And I know you're not going to like it.
And I'm okay with it.
I made a video the other day with the idea that I'm talking about.
I think they need to do XYZ with, you know, I think Israel has a bad brand right now because of how horrible of a job they're doing marketing as the only child.
And I said, trust me, no one's going to like my idea on both sides.
And guess who hated the idea?
Both sides hated the idea, right?
And guess what?
I like that, that both of you don't like the idea.
We will gladly play in this role of just going up here, gladly, and continue to do our part.
But God willing, Megan Kelly is going to make that phone call and host an event and have everybody there.
I think she can play the role of a glue.
And there's a handful of other guys I would nominate that can pull that off.
But I think she's the head that can pull that off.
I really think she's the head that can pull that off and get everybody in the room.
And by the way, bring Steven Crowder.
He's coming back.
And I like the new Crowder.
Bring him back.
He's back to realizing who he is and what he was doing.
Let's not forget at one point Crowder was the guy.
And a lot of people remember when he was the guy and he went through a bad season.
But I'm kind of glad that he's got his mojo back and he's playing ball.
He's a very, very formidable voice.
He's a beast.
Yeah, I would include him in that as well.
For sure.
But anyways.
He's criticized all those guys too, by the way.
Listen, just think about us as a consultant.
That's who we are.
We're just a consultant is what we do.
You can go to beddavid.com, literally, to learn more about what we do for clients from 60-plus countries, 10,000 businesses, a business nobody knows that we have except for the people that we do engagements for and strategy sessions for.
Let's move on to the next story.
Next, I want to go to is Jeffrey Epstein.
Pretty rough day when this guy, what's his name?
Andrew?
Is that the one that we're talking about?
Jeffrey Epstein.
Oh, no, this is a different story.
Jeffrey Epstein, folks, watch this year.
Kind of weird.
Vinny, I'm going to come to you with this one.
Yes, sir.
Claimed Maureen Comey, the daughter of 8647 James Comey, okay?
Who thought it was just nice seashells?
Didn't know what it means.
Nothing.
Director of FBI, you know, he didn't know what 8647 meant.
It's just nice sea shows on the beach, right?
Jeffrey Epstein claimed Maureen Comey would let him free if he implicated Trump, ex-cellmate, said, What?
Huh.
Now, let me read this to you.
What is this guy talking about?
Jeffrey Epstein claimed New York federal prosecutors told him he could walk free if he agreed to implicate Trump, according to his ex-cellmate.
After his arrest on child sex trafficking, July of 19, Epstein was transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he shared a cell with a ex-cop, Nicholas Tartoglino, who was awaiting trial before being convicted on quadruple murder charge.
Tartag Leone 57 now claims that Epstein, who died a month after being arrested, told him prosecutors had offered to cut a deal if he'd snitch on President Trump, who was then in his first term.
Prosecutors told Epstein that if he had said President Trump was involved with Epstein's crimes, he would walk free in a petition to be pardoned.
Tartag Leone claims in a pardon application filed in July and obtained by the Post.
Epstein told me that Maureen Comey said that he didn't have to prove anything as long as President Trump's people could not disapprove it.
According to Maureen Comey, the FBI were her people, not his, meaning the presidents.
The papers don't specify what crimes Trump would be implicated in.
At the time of his death, Epstein was charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, but was also suspected in a laundry list of other crimes.
Any thoughts?
Think of, okay, could we just give a shout out to this family, Maureen Comey, her father, James Comey, and I have to write this down, Pat.
She was, remember, she was just fired recently, Tom, right?
For the Southern District of New York since 2015.
Guess which cases she profiled cases?
Epstein, she was behind that.
She was behind Delane Maxwell.
And also, she's just, the Diddy case.
She's all, yeah.
And I get it.
That's her district.
That's where she's in.
But like, I hope you guys understand what we're talking about here.
Epstein was going to get a deal.
I know this is according to Nicholas.
He was going to walk free.
Think of, guys, really think about that.
Tom, they were going to let him go if he just implicated Trump because this is how deep and how far from 2015.
This is how prosecutions work during it.
To be fair, this is not unique.
Do you not think if there's something up with LeBron in the gambling, if, do you not think that they would say to LeBron, LeBron, it says, if you just let us know who your team were, teammates in Miami, because one of your teammates in Miami, we got a book on him.
Yeah.
We're done.
Yeah.
And so if you want to just tell us what happened, you know, then you'll have immunity.
Chris Bosch, if you want to tell us what happened, you'll have immunity.
They're talking, and the only reason I'm mentioning those names is not because they've been implicated, but because this is the way the federal government works when they're cultivating and they're trying to figure out their cases.
Yeah.
Is they ask one to tell on the other and in exchange for saving the government time and being honest about that.
By the way, if you snitch and you do things and you get a deal from the government, they turn out to be false.
There's this little clause where they can pull the deal if you basically are found to have been so full of crap and tried to redirect the government or trick them and things like that.
They'll come back and pull the deal back off the table.
So this is the way it works.
Of course, yeah, for sure.
But Trump's the way it works.
But Tom, look at the hate and the disdain for Trump from back to Jeff.
Absolutely.
Appointment.
Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
That Tommy.
That's a freaking daughter.
That's what I'm saying.
And the guy that was behind the whole Russian collusion thing that was behind the Hillary Benghazi and all that stuff and all the files and all that stuff.
When you talk about deep state, Tommy, that's the guy.
It's the Comey.
It's the Brennan.
It's the Don Bolton.
These are the guys.
They're starting to get exposed.
But what drives me crazy is they were willing, because I believe it, Tom.
I totally believe it.
Yeah, the guy's a convicted murderer, but what does he have to, in that situation?
It's not going to, he's finished for the rest of his life.
They're willing to let go the most prolific sex trafficking pedophile just to go after Trump.
And by the way, you know what she said?
All he had to do was accuse Trump, and if Trump's team couldn't disprove it, he'd be pardoned.
Okay, Epstein, and you know, there's the F. That's the got to give us enough evidence that we get something.
If not, yeah.
And Epstein refused.
Think about this, Tommy.
Epstein refused and told her flat out Trump had nothing to do with the crimes.
Okay, I don't care what anybody else is talking about.
Not the answer to that.
And going back to her father, Tom, notice this, right?
He's under indictment for lying to Congress.
All right.
He was reportedly tipped off.
He was reportedly, allegedly tipped off that that massive stash of hidden documents was going to come out.
Yeah, there's a lot of allegations and some specifics in them about Comey that he's running up a pass.
I love it.
Thank you.
Epstein.
He goes, and once he found that out, not long after that, he stumbles on a formation of rocks that said 8647, which I don't care how gullible or how much you try to play both sides, that is a freaking dog whistle.
8647 means take out the president of the United States.
And he played that stupid game.
Okay, like, I didn't know.
And the left freaking believes it.
Okay.
This is what's happening, Tom.
And Pat, I think it's disgusting.
If it is true, I know it's all allegedly, but that they were willing to let Epstein, Adam, Epstein, walk if he just say Trump was there and we're good to go.
You're still at the mob, right?
That's exactly how they got the map.
Yeah.
You go to the little guy to get the big guy.
100%.
So who's bigger?
Trump or Epstein?
Trump is the for them.
It's Trump.
Okay, well, then that makes Epstein the smaller criminal.
Of course.
And you're willing to let the small guy go to get this.
If New Yorkers knew in terms of the mob, the people that were let go so they could get John Gotti.
Oh my God.
Murderers, Tom.
Murderers.
So if the headline was this, these gentlemen and their crimes got immunity because we actually were able to convict someone.
Everybody goes, wait, what?
Flip out.
So we could.
And then instead of someone, the headline says Gotti.
And then they say, well, they had to get Gotti, and I guess they had to get snitches to go after him because otherwise Gotti's still out there.
Exactly.
It's the bigger, they put the little guys to get the big guys.
And in that context, regardless of all the heinous, terrible things are happening to kids that you've been so passionate about, correctly so, absolutely appropriately so.
They were willing to give up that guy to get the big guy.
Wow.
A big guy that didn't do anything, Tom.
To them, Trump was the big problem.
Yeah, he didn't do anything.
I'm following this.
I just have a couple of questions.
So obviously, we understand Comey.
What's your opinion or supposition on Maureen Comey specifically?
You think she's compromised or Adam 100?
My belief, Vincent O'Shaughnessy's belief, you think the apple falls that far from the tree when your father was the director of the FBI?
And of course, Adam, do you even know who her husband is?
These people all hate Trump and they were willing to do anything.
Adam, it's still happening to this day.
And we failed to, yes, Adam, I believe.
Who's her husband?
I forgot his name, but you can look at Rob.
Who's her father?
Lucas Isakarov.
You think this guy likes Trump?
This guy is a Trump hater to the think about it.
You think I'm not.
I just see his name, Lucas.
I don't know anything about him.
I don't know why.
They all, their mission, and this is what bothers me, Adam.
I think she's compromised.
You know why?
On top of what happened with the Diddy thing, the goal since 2016 was to get rid of this guy.
And the fact that they were willing, allegedly, willing to let go of Epstein just to get Trump.
And Adam, get him for what?
Lie.
Lie and say that he was implicated with touching underage girls or doing whatever underage girls.
Because that was the goal, Adam.
That's what Russia collusion was.
That was the two-fake impeachment was.
That's all that nonsense adds up to this.
So it's not a surprise to me.
It really is.
And then one more.
We obviously know James Comey.
We're starting to learn about Maureen Comey.
I've never heard of this guy.
What is his name?
Nicholas.
Yeah, that guy that he was in the jail.
Targ Leone.
So you trust him?
Here's my question to you.
What does he have to?
You're not going to get out of jail free.
No.
You're not losing any time.
He's just saying that this is what they offered him when he was in prison with them.
This is what he found out.
And by the way, there was a document that I saw, a government document, Adam, where they're taking all these notes.
Yeah, Adam, just because Adam, hold on.
Ready for this?
If I killed somebody and I had to kill somebody or I murdered somebody, what?
You're just not supposed to believe me anymore?
Because I made one crime.
So that means I'm lying about stuff.
No, he admitted that he's a murderer.
Yeah, he murdered four people.
He's in jail for life.
So he can never tell the truth.
He can't tell the truth about something he saw in his jail sale and a conversation he had with a pedalbox.
It's notoriously known.
They call it a jailhouse informant that this is some of the least reliable evidence in court.
The least.
Why?
You might be saying, well, why?
He's in jail for life.
Well, if you're in jail for life, you'd be willing to say anything and do anything to get the hell out, would you not?
You can never get out.
Hold on, ready for that?
Here's zero.
Hear me out.
I mean, Rob, I'm sure you could chat to you.
I'm just going to go reduce sentences, money, maybe drop charges, lessening charges, a million different reasons that a jailhouse informant, a cellmate, would be like, here's my moment.
In fact, and you can fact-check this, I'm assuming that a jailhouse informant, a cellmate, is some of the least credible evidence in a court of law.
I'd love you to fact-check that.
So to me, once I hear cellmate, I'm like, I don't believe this guy, the dude who murdered four people.
Adam, do you know all of a sudden he's your star witness?
Adam, do you know how many cases?
Because I watched the first 48 and all these murder mysteries.
Do you know how many times the person opened their mouth to their cellmate and they're the ones that ratted them out and they confess to them or the phone calls that they make in the jail?
Adam, the situation is Epstein's cellmate said that New York prosecutors, Maureen Comey, offered him a deal.
He's sharing a jail sale with the pedophile.
He knows what conversations are happening.
Adam, you're in there with the guy 24-7.
He's not making stuff.
He doesn't need to tell this guy anything.
Look, what do you mean, Epstein?
Adam, do you ever show anything?
You know, trust but verify?
Bro, I don't trust this guy at all, and I'd verify everything he's doing.
Look, Rob, what does it say?
I can't see this thing.
Jailhouse informant testimony can be used in court, but it is widely considered one of the least reliable forms of evidence.
Bingo, bro.
Okay.
You can't trust his quadruple murder.
You're like, I believe that guy.
He has my vote.
Let me ask you a question, though.
You're sharing a jail sale.
You, Adam, and you're a murderer with Jeffrey Epstein.
Jeffrey Epstein.
You're not hearing what you hold on.
Meaning, Jeffrey Epstein goes and talks to his lawyers and the federal prosecutors and then comes in this jail sale, Adam, and is doing this.
No, you talk to your that's your new best friend, Adam.
Okay, no, so Michael, do you think Jeffrey Epstein kept in contact with the outside world?
Do you think it was this one guy that they're in jail?
No, you're my jail.
Adam, how long do you think they were in jail together in the cell?
Sharing the cell all day.
So my question is, this guy murdered four people.
We're like star witness.
I think we're missing a couple of points here.
I mean, first of all, let's not debate the jailhouse snitch.
We can read about that all the time.
The story is coming out that, and there's a lot of people that alleged that Comey was more than a little nepotistic getting his daughter into the family business, which was federal prosecuting.
Weird.
Okay.
And Comey was also right there with a lot of people that were trying to take down Trump.
Forever.
The notion, Adam, that they're looking for any and everything that can help them take down Trump is not a stretch.
That's what I'm saying.
It's not an assumption.
It's out there.
Was this particular guy in jail going to be the most credible way to do it?
No, to your point, because, oh, hey, hey, it says right here, they have to tell the jury.
He may get leniency.
He may get a better meeting.
I think they kidnapped four guys on a dirty cop drug deal that went bad over $250,000 and killed the four people.
People buried them underneath.
Adam, step back.
I believe that guy.
Adam.
What?
The story is it's pretty, you know, there's a lot of allegations.
I want to sell you this beautiful piece of property in the Everglades right here.
Trust me, bro.
You know what point he's making?
Don't do that.
Talk to him.
You know what point he's making?
So you mean to tell me?
Tom, you want to go, bro?
You want to end up with a quadruple?
Adams, you can go ahead.
Change the end of the point.
Tom, I'm kidding.
Change the end point.
Wow, that's what he's doing.
I'm just trying to take it back to the story.
Is it conceivable that Comey and company were trying to use any and everything to go after Trump?
Yes.
I believe that.
I believe that.
I'm saying I don't believe the people said that he's going to go out and limit here, guys, and say the quadruple murderer doesn't have the highest credibility.
I know we want to move on on the story.
If you think it's not conceivable.
We've only been 45 minutes on this one.
Let's choose the whole podcast.
That the guy, the guy, Russia collusion, everything you name.
He's got a Starbucks.
Comey, FBI, all that guy trying to take down Trump.
That guy, his daughter wouldn't go to a pedophile and say, hey, listen, just say this, and we want to get Trump and we'll help.
Well, I believe you.
I just don't believe the quadruple murderer guy.
Okay, well, that's you.
You want to weigh in on this?
Yeah, let's look.
Here's where I'm at.
When something happens, I get intel from everybody.
If an issue happens at the company that we got to address, like let's just say a crisis takes place.
Some people have higher credibility scores than other people.
Like I literally put everybody's position in next to this.
Guy's got a two score, four score, eight score, nine score, ten, seven, six, eight, nine.
And we learned everybody's motives and then we make a decision for ourselves.
Does this guy have a high credibility score of what he's saying?
Probably not.
But is it somebody that you want to use the content and see what's going to be said?
Yes.
Do I believe Maureen Comey is capable of trying to find everything to destroy Trump on the 2024 election when that's the guy that they didn't want to go in there because they knew exactly what he was going to do that he's doing today?
Yes.
Do you think Obama wanted Trump to win in 2024?
No.
Do you think Comey wanted Trump to win 2024?
No.
Do you know?
Do you think Comey knew that if Trump would win, that they're going to go after him to reveal the fact that all the shit he lied about?
Yes.
No, this is both of you could be right.
And it's just like, let's see what happens.
Let's see where they're going to go from here with these types of stories.
This Epstein thing, you know, more and more stuff that's being dropped.
Verify, investigate, see if there's anybody else that would sit there and match it and say there's some truth behind it.
And then we move on.
That's where we are with this story here.
And we can move on to the next story.
Next one I want to get to is the following.
Folks, if you're traveling, FAA is slashing 10% of U.S. flights in 40 major cities as historic government shutdown drags on.
Rob, if you have the clip on this one here, if you want to play it, yeah, right there.
This is what's going on.
And by the way, can you actually see in the comment section, is anybody traveling, did anybody actually ask a question?
Has anyone's flight plans and a flight plan being canceled or affected today?
If you say, I'm curious, even if it's less than 1%, if it's 82 people, I want to know if there's, you know, just say no, it's not being canceled and say yes if it has been.
Tom, your thoughts on the story with what's going on.
How big of a deal is this?
This is a very big deal.
Apparently, on October 28th, ATC employees, Air Traffic Control, received their last paycheck, and now they're in a non-pay position with the shutdown.
So apparently, some of them are not going to be coming to work, and they have to maintain the safety for Americans.
You don't want an overworked ATC person working a 12-hour shift, especially if you have thunderstorms in Chicago or in Dallas, and they're trying to direct the safety of all those flights going to land.
So now they're like, and I'm pretty sure I'm 99% certain that what I read in my research this morning was that October 28th is when the first paycheck that they won't get, not their last paycheck, that's going to be the one they don't get.
So they're not asking them, Pat, to work for free.
And they're saying, those of you that are going to work, great, but some of you aren't going to be here because you're not working for free.
That means, guess what?
We got to have fewer flights.
Airlines, how you do it is up to you with how many tickets have been bought.
And you're sure if they're flying a flight from Dallas to Fort Lauderdale and that's always full three times a day, that one's still there.
But the flights that were at 20% full, 10% full, those are the ones that the airlines are going to say, okay, I got to take so many flights out of Dallas.
Where are my lightest loads or lightest flights?
And so they're going to do that.
And it's kind of a warning to America that says, hey, not a warning to America, a warning to all of us and our Congress.
Hey, this is about to get real.
Because the FAA also said, Pat, you ready for this?
You know what?
The next percentage they mentioned?
50% that seven days later, after this first 10%, they could be talking about 50% because of the air traffic control people that are not going to be working for free without a check.
And so now then, who controls this?
Chuck Schumer and the Democrats.
Okay, not the shutdown.
ATC, my understanding, falls under the purview that rolls up to the president through one of the cabinets.
And so the president could allow the pinch to happen to get the Dems to negotiate with him or could just step back and let the pain there.
But I think Trump's going to use this to negotiate, Pat.
That's what I think.
Because 50% coming, I think that's the number they want everybody to hear.
10% of the flights this week because some of these guys got their last players clip.
Watch this clip here.
Go forward.
There is going to be a 10% reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations.
The administrator is going to tell you that it's been, this is database.
This is not based on what airline travels, has more flights out of what location.
This is about where is the pressure and how do we alleviate the pressure.
And so I want to thank him for, again, him.
In regard to air traffic control, we've had a conversation over the course of the last month about some of the challenges that we're having in the airspace.
Many of you know that we are 2,000 controllers short, air traffic controllers short.
And we have surged our academy to bring more controllers into our system.
We are 20% up in controllers through the academy thus far this year.
I've also offered air traffic controllers who are of the age of retirement a 20% upfront cash bonus to actually stay on.
Some of the best controllers we have don't retire, keep working for us.
All of that has been reducing the pressure on the staffing side of air traffic control.
It's working, but it takes years to bring more well-trained certified controllers into the airspace.
The shutdown is having an impact on our ability to maintain those numbers and dent that 2,000 shortage that we have.
That doesn't make me want to fly, make me feel safer flying at all.
It sounds like Boeing flights are falling out of the sky.
My pens aren't falling off.
No, but I'm not like, why would you want to fly right now with dumb and dumber, with people that are imagine that?
Like, yeah, no, I'm going to put in an extra couple hours and I'm not going to get paid anymore.
What he didn't talk about is October 28th, a bunch of them aren't going to get a paycheck.
So he's saying, remember all summer long you've been hearing about Newark?
People say, don't fly into Newark.
If there's any, if there's a mere cloud in the sky that looks like a thunderstorm in New York, Newark gets problem.
Remember, we saw talking about Newark?
Well, that's because of what he's talking about.
But the punchline is: hey, look, we got people retiring.
We're trying to get people trained.
There's been stress in the system.
And now some of them are going to stay home because they can't get paid.
I need, we need a 10%.
We need a 10% reduction.
Let me ask you.
So it's already hanging by a thread.
Tom, let me ask you.
You're the expert on this one.
Has the government shutdown affected your life even one iota?
My sister's not working.
Oh, sorry.
You?
No, I've heard about things like this.
Me for you.
Me personally, no, but me personally, yes.
You personally.
No, my personally, my family, no, but I know of people like Vinny's sister who work for the government and are now in a waiting game on their payments.
So it's affected you how?
It's affected me with my sister, who's literally, she can't go anywhere.
She can't leave because they could go.
The next day's what?
Space Force.
She works at Space Force.
Space Force, ladies and gentlemen.
Very big deal.
And then Adam, I mean, this is affecting flights like flights.
And if I do stand up and I can't.
I don't think the government shutdown affected your life at all.
But I'm not everybody.
No, no, no.
I'm just saying for you.
It may if people that need to travel can't travel.
Like this weekend, PHP event, I got stuff that I'm doing.
They're traveling in here today.
They should be able to travel.
Okay.
So it's not going to affect us.
10% won't.
If they go to 100%, 50%, I mean, you're going to feel it.
So now, you know, a lot of times certain things happen and you may just sit there and say, it's not doing anything for me.
So who gives a shit?
Exactly.
But that's not how life works.
You don't have, you know, you don't have kids.
So imagine if all kids are shut down in America.
How are you impacting?
You're not.
So you have to be paying attention to how it's.
That's ultimately my point: is that up until now, the government shutdown hasn't affected average people, normal people, what have you.
But when you start missing flights, you start to say, whoa, what's going on?
Now it's starting to hit 10% of flights.
All of a sudden, 50% of flights.
Tom said, when average people start waking up, they have zero care in the world.
I think we have a poll.
We got like almost 3,000 votes in our poll now.
Has your flight been legal?
Oh, wow.
2,500 cents.
No, no, not 20%.
That's 500 people.
Yep.
500.
500 people.
Or affected due to the government shutdown.
There you go.
It started.
So this is the picture.
This is where you're going to start to get the pressure to like guys.
It's affecting average people.
Pat, what do you think?
Tom, honestly, you all three of you.
What is going to be the moment?
Because they're not, it doesn't seem like they're budging anytime soon.
Trump is not going to give in ever.
He's not going to give an inch, especially when all this billions and billions is going to go to illegals and all this program.
How long is this thing going to go?
Because I don't see any daylight.
Go back and look at the history of shutdowns.
These are the pinch points that you need to get our elected imbeciles, I mean, officials to Congress to cut a deal together.
Let me ask you a question.
I'm just going to get mispronounced officials.
Let me ask you a question.
So all the airlines, Boeing, all these places, are these like normally the CEOs?
Are they woke type people?
Because they're going to be making phone calls to their donors, right?
They're freaking lobbyists.
Like, yo, dude.
Let me tell you, the president of every airline is a capitalist who looks at his stock ticker every morning.
Okay, so they're more conservative.
No, no, they're capitalists.
They're capital.
Exactly.
You can be in favor of your stock and your job and still be a liberal.
But what I'm saying is, are they making phone calls to their representative?
Like, yo, listen, like, this is, you guys are starting to affect our wallets.
I would say airlines now are like, hey, man, this is about to affect us.
Yeah.
You're not going to like this.
So, right now, it's just who can tolerate most pain.
That's it.
It's already the longest record-breaking shutdown we've had.
Who can tolerate most pain?
Congratulations, guys.
All right, let's go to the next story.
Beat your purse.
Stephen Colbert insists he's more conservative than people might think and not a lefty figure.
We have to believe him, right?
You know, this guy doesn't have four murders like Tagleone.
All of a sudden, you have to believe him because, according to Adam's theory, he ain't lying.
But he's wearing the glasses.
100% telling the truth.
He's wearing the glasses.
Here's Stephen Colbert.
Go ahead, folks.
Go ahead, Rob.
You know, the demographics of these shows are interesting, too.
It's about a third, third, third.
It's about a third of Republicans, third, Democrats, third independents.
You know, old, you know, people perceive me as this sort of lefty figure.
I think I'm more conservative than people think.
I just happen to be talking about a government in extremis.
Yeah.
And so what I'm giving you is my reaction video to the day.
Adam, do you believe him?
Well, you have to believe him.
This guy's not a game.
He's not a murderer.
He said it.
But he hates Trump.
Well, of course, he's just an average, moderate guy who only has 99% of his guests being on the left that only dismantles Trump left and right.
That does shipping for COVID syringe vaccines.
Of course, he's a conservative guy.
Listen, Stephen Colbert, you can say what you want.
I actually think Stephen Colbert is immensely talented, but he has been completely absorbed by the left.
And he's perception is reality.
I think when he did the Colbert report and he portrayed this conservative guy, he's going a very different angle, homie.
Folks, forgive Adam's naivete and support for Mr. Colbert because Tom is about to give you a very different theory.
To be honest with you, I thought it was Rachel Maddow that I was looking at.
Going on.
By the way, he did say some difference.
Here's what he did say: he says, I don't generally say or do things that I don't mean on the shows, unless I'm in character, like a sketch.
Tom, do you believe him?
No.
I believe that what's going on right now, and also in a related story, CNN anchor has been pushing back on liberal critics.
My job is not to take down Trump, says Caitlin Collins.
She was on a podcast on Wednesday or speaking to somebody on Wednesday.
Yeah, exactly.
Nikki Minaj's moment showed was there was a lot of support for Trump.
And I think it was jarring for some people to remember that maybe to see that reality of our job is not to sanitize things.
When I say, well, this is what you want the narrative to be.
No, this is what you want to happen.
No.
Oh, my gosh.
Give me a break.
Is this the Berry?
Nikki Weiss effect?
No, she is Caitlin Collins.
Yes, it's the Barry Weiss effect.
And it's also you're not effing profitable effect.
And it's also you're not getting a lot of audience effect.
And it's a lot of, you know, there may be liberals in the CEO chairs, but they also have to look at profitability and look and running a profitable network.
And ESPN has been cutting higher-price sports anchors for two and a half years, saying that they have to get to a more economic outcome because they have to pay billions for get access to sports.
So they can't afford to have all these anchors with this.
This has been going on.
I think everybody is running for cover, trying to appear a little bit more neutral, a little bit more objective, a little bit more to the center.
They're all trying to do it.
Remember, Colbert, everybody's been threatening about his show being canceled.
Oh, you think it's going to get canceled?
And then they're trying to spin it.
Never mind.
It's been losing money.
And we've seen all the stats on that.
It was canceled.
Colbert was canceled.
Right.
But in saying, never mind all that, never mind all that.
oh, I'm not such a bad guy.
You know, I want to be back on.
I want to be over here.
That's what's going on.
They're all sanitizing history and putting a spin on history because they see what's coming.
And by the way, the funny thing about Caitlin Collins, she's kind of on a rookie contract.
She's not on an Anderson Cooper contract.
So, and basically, when they offered it for sale, there were leaks and supposedlies that Zaz was at the Allen conference in Idaho telling people, and by the way, we'll take care of some of the expensive contracts.
Remember, Caitlin's on a more economic contract, of course.
So he was actually telling people, hey, if you like her, she's young.
She's in the demographic and she's on a better deal.
You don't think they're going to be able to do that.
You don't think that they all know this?
You don't think they're all sitting back?
What that moment showed was there was still a lot of support for Donald Trump.
And I think it was jarring for some people to remember that maybe and to see that, but that was reality.
And like our job is not to sanitize things and say, well, this is what you want the narrative to be or this is what you want to happen.
Our job is just to cover it as it happens and to show you what that was.
And I think that town hall showed people that.
Like my job is like not to take down Trump.
I'm a reporter and an anchor.
Yeah.
Yeah, with an earpiece and a producer.
She's lying at that.
Sitting there next to another liar, Hassan Minaj.
You remember the anthrax story that he said that he claimed white powder was sent to his house and he opened it and it spilled on his daughter and then went to the ER?
Turns out he was full of poo-poo.
Like I don't believe, like it's just nonsense.
Yeah, like Stephen Colbert saying that he's conservative.
It's like Mike Tyson going, yeah, I'm a pacifist.
No, you're not a pacifist.
You're a fighter, bro.
Like, stop lying.
And you nailed it.
Rob's laughing.
You nailed it, Tom, because they're trying to come back because they know you're going broke.
Did you really fabricate the anthrax?
Anthrax story.
Hassan Majaj, that's the, yeah, involving this young thing you're going to tell me that Jussie Smooley didn't get assaulted by four Trump guys in Chicago.
Was it a skit, like a joke that he made up?
No.
No.
If it's a joke, I mean, I get it.
No, absolutely not a joke.
The core incident was a story shown with powder at his apartment and this Stanley Minaj claimed the powder was accidentally spilled into his daughter, leading to a frantic rush of New York.
However, in September 29, Prabhupada Minaj confessed that his daughter was never exposed to the powder and was not hospitalized.
He had received an envelope with the white powder, but the dramatic details about his daughter and the hospital visit were invented for dramatic highlight the emotional truth of the fear he and his family.
Oh, okay.
Like he's trying to be like, oh, you want to story.
But he's a pusher of Trump and racism and the country was the worst.
He's one of those people.
Wasn't he the comedian that you do the dinner something?
You know, he did the White House correspondence a couple years ago or six years ago.
He goes, I do not see Steve Bannon.
Yeah.
Nazi.
Yeah.
Steve Bannon.
And in fact, he had a prom story.
So in Homecoming King, he said a white classmate rejected him at prom because of his race showing up with a white boy and said, but the woman involved later disputed saying she turned him down well before the night of the dance.
So it's like, I don't believe any of these people.
And for Stephen Colbert, give me a freaking break.
I'll respect you more if you just stick to your guns and say, we hate Trump.
We get paid to hate Trump.
Even if we're losing money, it's Trump, That's it.
Yeah, all I got to say is three things.
Trump got paid settlements.
Number one.
Number two, these networks are in media as unprofitable.
Number three, there have been people losing their contracts and getting Jim McCall and people getting sent out to the backyard for going on two and a half years now, especially DSPN.
Point three, Barry Weiss and the Ellisons and Skydance.
Point four, now they're seen saying, well, my job is not to take down Trump is to do this.
Well, I'm more in the center.
There's one-third, one-third, or a third is my audience.
You're so full of crap.
There's no chance that a third, a third, a third of his audience is a third.
Let me go to this next story.
While I'm going to this next story, you know, some news?
Rob Gargoylio just passed a thousand Manex.
Rob, please put your tweet.
Can you put your tweet?
Look at this.
This is the greatest profile picture in the video.
Let me see.
This guy's definitely not a cordridge.
Look at his three-piece suit.
Let me see this guy.
Look at this.
Rob, look at that.
Look at Rob.
Rob, what's it called when the doctors look inside your doctoral exam?
What's it called?
Colonoscopy.
Rob's getting a colonoscopy right there.
Go, Maneck.
Congrats, Rob.
Congratulations.
Just crossed 8,000.
Nice.
Now, with that, the perfect transition for the next one is transgender person who used women's locker room at Gold's Gym.
Stole ex-wife's name.
Rob, can you first start off with the lady who is in the gym screaming and hollering?
I want you to start off with that man.
Yeah, at first you're like, what is she doing?
Yeah, why she's doing it.
Watch this one.
Go ahead, Rob.
Gold's gym.
Men.
Grown men with big dicks in the women's locker room.
And that's why I'm getting kicked out.
And I want to make sure the girls know.
What the fuck?
Nobody cares.
California.
Everybody saw that man in the fucking locker room.
No one's saying shit.
And I'm fucking done with it.
It's fucking stupid.
It's dangerous.
Okay, so.
Me naked in front of a man without my permission.
Yeah.
I don't even know why you did that.
Do you know you're lying?
I understand.
By the way, she's a lesbian.
Just so we're clear, I think she came out and said, I'm a lesbian.
I'm part of it.
She is.
She had you show her reaction afterwards.
So we can show.
Rob, show her interview, the African-American lady.
If you don't have it, I'll find it.
Yeah.
She's talking about what happened and why she got kicked out.
And she's like, listen, this doesn't make any sense.
Like, what the hell is going on?
Okay.
She's giving her argument of what happened afterwards.
There's a video of her explaining it.
I don't know if you can find a clip or not.
I'll try to find it, Rob.
If you want to go to the next clip, whichever one you got, do you actually have the clip of the guy that said this is the transgender at the gym?
Go ahead.
This guy.
Did you tell me or not that women like to see dicks?
Exactly.
Exactly.
Stay out of the way right now.
Yo, now he knows how to be a man, right?
Now he knows how to be a man.
Stay out of the women's locker room.
We don't want it.
He needs to have his gym membership revoked with that shit.
And the one that's going to be a good idea.
That's all the transgender women.
That guy.
We already fought on the points.
No.
No.
That's fine.
You can't get rid of me for this.
I'm a woman and I'm not a good person.
I'm not getting rid of her.
They're kicking her out.
And look, he's going back in the woman's bathroom.
California, Adam.
Where are you?
This is in California.
Patrick, I didn't see this clip.
He's California.
This is Cal.
This is Gavin Newsom's California.
Do you have a video of the transgender guy speaking afterwards?
He was on TMZ.
They put him on TMZ.
And he's like, listen, I just, I haven't chopped it off.
They asked him, have you gone through it yet?
He's like, no, not yet.
I think nobody goes full.
Do you have the clip?
This is her?
Yeah.
This is the lesbian woman.
She actually is a woman.
She could be a lesbian, but she's a woman.
Go ahead.
I am a woman anymore.
Hear me curse.
I'm not a Republican or Democrat or anything because I'm neither.
I'm just a woman who's standing up for women's rights.
And I don't give a fuck what you are.
If you're a Republican, a Democrat, I don't care if you support Trump or Kamala.
I don't give a fuck.
All I need is people to come together for one thing.
It's to help women, to save women.
Women.
Women.
Not fucking men with dicks and dresses.
Women.
Okay?
Now, what do I think about trans?
I don't fucking think about trans.
I'm a fucking lady.
I don't give a shit about trans.
I don't give two fucks.
Well, you can't possibly.
Listen, you know, I don't condone that language.
Kindergarten and realize boys have penises and women have vaginas.
I learned that when I was young.
Okay, go ahead, Rob.
Go above it.
Go above it, Rob.
The one above it, right there, that's the transgender.
Look, you go zoom out.
That looks like me in a crop top.
That's supposed to be a woman.
She's a good one.
The one on the right?
The guy that you can find the tons of beer beneath the front showed up on the SASCAP.
I appreciate he has fully functioning junk according to her.
I just got it.
He did an interview.
Yeah, he's on TMZ.
I just got a message.
I just find his interview on TMZ.
I just got a message right now from somebody that works here.
I don't want to give his name.
I worked at Gold's Gym for about three years in downtown LA.
They are notorious for letting guys use the women's bathroom.
There was a guy witness used the women's bathroom simply by wearing a crop top bra.
And let me pat.
So this guy, this guy, his real name is Grant Freeman.
F-R-E-E-M-A-N.
He's now going by Alexis Black.
He did all this, right?
He has quite a record, Rob.
You want to look it up?
He was charged with multiple drug offenses, including trafficking, possession, failure to comply.
He was charged with third-degree felony, domestic violence, and convicted in Ohio in November 2022 for guess what?
Brutally beating his ex-wife, breaking her jaw so badly she needed surgery.
Stop it.
Now, yes, Rob, look up Grant Freeman.
And by the way, he beat her.
I'm going to be sure that we're connected here.
So this in Ohio, we have allegedly found a connection here, and multiple sources are seeing the point these.
So we're reacting to these sources that this is the same guy's background.
Exactly.
So, yeah, so allegedly, this is that he has a record.
If you go on, go on X and look it up.
What's his name?
Lives of TikTok.
So the guy's name right now, his female name is Alexis Black, but his old name was Grant Freeman.
F-R-E-E-M-A-N.
And the sources we've seen is this is coming out of Ohio that they're saying, Rob, that this guy, Grant Freeman, was charged with beating his wife and giving him a record.
Rob, did I send you the link of on?
I think I slacked it to you.
Wow.
Yeah, so beating his wife, and then he took her name.
If this is that guy, and now he's Miss Black, and he was Mr. Freeman.
Hold on, Rob, I'll say that.
If this is that guy, that's a that's yeah, God bless you.
Rob, you have the TMZ interview?
If you don't, I found it.
Oh, yeah.
Could you send that to me?
Yeah, it's on, yeah, I have it.
Alexis Black.
Right there, just send it to Rob if you want to go through it.
And I slacked you too, Rob.
So you should see he put makeup on to be ready for TMZ.
Here's Alexis Black, folks.
Or what's his real name?
You say Tyrone.
What was his real name?
Tyrone.
Tyrone.
Shoelaces come out of my notes.
Tyrone shoelaces.
The real name allegedly is Grant Freeman, who now goes by the name Alexis Black is his trans name, and that's his ex-girlfriend.
Let's go.
Here's the company where they were celebrating Charlie Kirk's inner back that they didn't want to reveal the videos and they never apologized for it.
Go ahead, Rob.
Now is one of the people that Tish says she confronted in the locker room.
Her name is Alexis Black, and she's joining us now.
Alexis, welcome to TMZ Live.
Hi.
Hey, Alexis.
So we spoke with Tish, and she said when she came face to face with you, it was obvious to her you were a man.
So, you know, I don't want to get terribly graphic here, but can you kind of explain, you know, how you appeared?
You know, do you believe that she was reading something in that you didn't appear to be male?
She perceived you to be such.
Well, first, I told the people that raised me that this is the way that I was when I was eight years old.
And really, I stuffed it down pretty deep.
And I began using February.
And I actually relinquished that information to her about, you know, name change.
And it says female on my ID and hormones.
And I mean, I'm registered as a female with the gym.
So, and were you at that moment?
Because she told us about a couple of different encounters.
Were you fully clothed at that moment?
Well, she has become aggressive with me on four different occasions, actually, at different locations in Los Angeles at Gold's Gym.
But look at that Vayne on the neck.
You know, she bet he benches too well.
I believe I was enrobed in a towel.
And this last time I was like the entire time.
Squat at least three plates.
Okay.
You know, again, I apologize if this is too graphic, but I just think it's important.
Have you?
Let's speak truth, baby.
Okay.
Have you fully transitioned?
Look at the excuse.
Be clearer when you say that about your genitalia.
That is a process that requires quite lengthy work.
Like, for instance, I sat in a chair and had hair follicles removed from my face for two hours yesterday in a process called electrolysis in order to have that surgery down.
Stop.
I'm good.
I've had enough.
So Patrick's.
Do you have that picture?
So, Rob, I sent you what I sent you.
So, Pat, those are suspicious answers.
He didn't say right there, Vinny.
Him.
So this is him.
She scrolled down.
This is what Livs of TikTok put out: that this is the guy that has the domestic abuse.
Looks pretty much like him without all the hair on his face.
Well, he did the so multiple sources are connecting this guy back in his Ohio time as Grant Freeman.
Apparently, you know, according to this, there's a mug shot.
So, Pat's.
Yeah, Tish Hyman, the black, the black girl right there that she posted something saying, Grant Freeman, 32 years old, date of birth, 228, 1993, from Sentencing County, Hamilton, Lebanon, Correctional, Ohio, failed to comply, drug trafficking, and he has an assault charge.
So, this is sentencing information and department corrections.
So, we're not supposing here.
The formal Grant Thornton comes out to LA and is now in these altercations with this very upset woman.
And you can imagine why she's upset if she's encountering an individual who hasn't transitioned and says, Hey, that's male genitalia.
That's junk there.
And you're in here showering with us.
And if you still got your junk, you still have your capability of rape.
And so, why wouldn't she be upset?
Yeah.
And Gold Shim officially, Gold Jim's stance is that people can use whatever locker room matches their gender identity.
They don't care about safety.
They don't care about ding-a-lings hanging out.
Just more the same nonsense.
Like, right when you think we're done, we're done.
California has to prove that they're not stopping.
Well, this is the Chappelle joke.
This was the whole thing.
He's like, listen, we're good with the L's, we're good with the G's, we're good with the B's, or the other Q's.
The T's, the T's are making everything a little bit more challenging.
What do you mean, a little bit more?
And then you have a black lesbian basically going ham on the tea community.
Like, what is going on here?
Yeah.
And you have some dude, literal dude, who shaves his face, puts on some lipstick, and he's like, What do you mean?
Yeah, I'm a transition to you.
Forget that I have a bulge and everything.
It's just beyond bulge.
California.
Not good.
Never mind that.
He's got a criminal record for assault against other humans.
That's assault.
That's Grant Freeman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that's what it says.
Freeman.
Today he saw me walk into the woman's room, followed me and called me a bit.
I ran out of those private screen.
Wow.
Shout out to Mario.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
All right.
Let's keep going.
What does the bottom say, Rob?
Let's no, I don't want to see the rest of the stuff.
Sounds good.
Yeah.
At this point, we got it out of the system, guys.
We're going to be okay.
Next story I want to get to before we wrap up is two stories.
Next one is McDonald's.
U.S. sales rise, but profits fall short as it warns Americans are dining out less.
Okay.
So if we go, Rob, do me a favor, put a post, a poll, say, are you dining out less than you were five years ago?
Okay.
Just maybe not even five years ago.
Are you dining out less than you were in 2019?
Okay.
Let's see what they're going to say.
McDonald's saw a key sales metric jump in third quarter as a double down on discount meals, but it fell short on earnings as a warn anxious Americans have cut back on dining out.
U.S. same stores increased 2.4% for second straight quarter.
That beat estimates of a 1.9% rise, though McDonald's attributed this to a larger average check, implying diners are paying more for their meals despite the fast food industry value wars.
Overall, the same store sales rose 3.6%, revisiting a decline of 1.5% previous year.
McDonald's CEO Chris Kemjinski said that the results are a testament to our ability to deliver sustainable growth even in a challenging environment.
Shares in the world's largest fast food chain jumped 2% Wednesday morning, but the golden arches continue to warn that Americans are dining out less often, especially on low-income diners.
We continue to see a bifurcated consumer base with traffic from lower-income customers declining nearly double digits in the third quarter, a trend that's persisted for nearly two years.
Wow, that's pretty interesting, Rob, when you see that.
So, Tom, thoughts on this story with McDonald's?
Rob, I want to see the poll in a minute as well, if you don't mind.
But go ahead, Tom.
Okay.
So, the first thing is McDonald's has seen the sales rise.
That's the top, that's the revenue number.
So, they're seeing the revenue go up.
And if you've been into McDonald's or you've seen them, you can see that the prices of number one to eight, the meal deals that are up there, is up.
And so, inflation has reached McDonald's, not just yesterday, but over the last three years, and it's very, very real.
So, fewer low-income are coming in for basics.
And that's been going on, they said, for two years, dating back to the Biden administrations and the Biden inflation that came out of the Biden economy, which was the fault of Joe Biden.
So, you see, that's been going on for two years, and they're warning and saying, Hey, look, low-income people are coming in less and less, and our sales are being driven because our top-line sales number is up because following inflation, we had to raise our prices a bit, and those diners are still here.
But when they say bifurcated, they're saying there's two sides of society: there's people that can afford what's the inflation that's happened, and they're still here, and our revenue numbers up a little bit, and therefore their stock's up a little bit.
But America, the lower-income people are coming in less and less, and this has been going on for two years, which shows the stress that the low-end people are under.
We need paying jobs, we need the things that Trump is putting in place: $1.5 trillion of investment by companies coming in America on factories.
And we need those jobs to happen.
And this is the, we're coming, and they're saying this is two years.
So, this has been going on for two years, and Trump's not going to get it turned around in nine months.
What it shows is that there's two sides to America going on right now, and it's real, and it's affordability, and it's the exit result of the Biden inflation.
But we got to recover.
And there's a new sheriff in town, and he needs time for a lot of policies to help.
Rob, what's the poll looking like?
Let's look at the poll.
What are people saying about if they're dining out less?
Oh, they are.
Huh.
Interesting.
And that's our audience saying this.
It's a very interesting, the fact that people are dining out less than they were in 2019.
Pre-COVID, right?
Yeah, that's why I asked the question pre-COVID.
Why aren't they dining out less than 2019?
Can you go to McDonald's just to see what the prices are nowadays?
Let's just go to McDonald's menu and prices.
Is there a does it show us prices?
Yeah, get an image of the one to eight, Rob, you know?
I don't know, but I'm hungry.
The last time I had a Big Mac was September of 97.
Let me tell you, that looks good.
You haven't had a Big Mac since 97?
September of 97.
Oh, you're missing out, Pat.
You got to live a little bit.
Trump can hook you up.
Look at that right there.
What is it, Big Mac?
Are you joking?
How much?
Does it say $8.39?
$8.39.
For the meal?
No.
No, for the sandwich.
For the burger.
I can make a bunch.
The boundaries $8.
How much is the dollar?
McDouble, though.
How much is it?
For free.
McNuggets is $8.39.
No way.
No way.
That's the combo.
Rob, can you go back and let's just see what these prices were 20 years ago?
Is there a way to do that?
Or just say, what about 2019?
Yeah, maybe go to 2019.
How much have prices of how much has prices of a Big Mac at McDonald's increased the last six years?
And just FYI, I got another message.
Deli said Uber Eats and delivery apps have better deals than if you go in person.
It's better if you stay home and order it.
So 21% is by year, though.
Because if it goes from, it's not $5.29 today.
On their website, it says $8.
So $4.39 was the price in 2021, 2019.
Go on the website.
Rob, are you sure that's just the price for the Big Mac or is that a meal?
Let's see if it's read more.
No, that's the classic beef.
Nutrition.
Price, $6.72.
Okay.
So $672 from what number was it before?
Four something in 2019.
And what was it in 2000?
And what was it in 2015?
Because that's 10 years.
I won't say 275.
What was it in 2015?
What?
Okay, so that's relatively the same.
Go to 1999.
A lot of people.
Prince, go to 1999.
You have a lot of people going to buy Big Macs today because of this.
Let's see this one.
1999 was $245.
Wow.
Listen, if we can go back to 1999 prices, I'll buy a Big Mac.
Let's go.
But I can't do the $6 stuff.
You don't take your kids to McDonald's?
They give them poison nuggets.
You want to give them poison?
Your kids don't get happy meals?
Are you actually being serious?
I'm being serious.
Your kids don't go to McDonald's?
Listen.
Have you seen how in shape his kids are?
Believe me, Tico kicks my ass.
Dylan's calves are bigger than my body stuff.
This guy's off.
You think he's eating nuggets?
Hold on.
You're telling me that Santa's like, I want a happy meal.
She doesn't get it?
In Dallas, maybe.
Let me ask you.
Take him to Inn and Outburger.
I've been to Inn and Outburst.
That's a whole different situation.
In-Out Burger.
How often in the last 90 days have you taken the kids to McDonald's?
I'm actually not curious.
By the way, let's see what's going on.
I saw a fight about to break out live.
By the way, I love you guys.
Shout out to McDonald's.
I saw somebody take a Big Mac and they put it like in a glass case and put it in the attic for nine years.
Nothing changed.
Nothing happened.
And then they poured like hot smoltering lava on the bun.
It just flew right off.
That's true.
That's not good, Adam.
Lava should go through it.
But is that Rob the index that I think Humberto sent?
Is that showing like what the prices are?
Yeah, across different countries.
Let me see it.
Zoom in a little bit from the highest to the lowest.
Switzerland's the highest.
Argentina, Uruguay, we are the sixth highest.
Who's the lowest?
Reality cheese.
Go all the way to the bottom.
North Korea, they use a red.
Taiwan.
So dumb.
India's 262.
India's 262.
Interesting.
262 in India.
Probably not a lot of beef in there.
Look at Ukraine.
Look at Ukraine.
See, things are looking up in Ukraine.
Big Mac, 286.
Okay, there you go.
So that's McDonald's for you.
So did Jed answer the question?
You're in India.
Is there beef in this?
Fuck!
What do you think the answer is?
Because I want to say three times, maybe in the last 90 days.
Okay, three times a month.
In the last 90 days.
That's fair.
It has to be a special.
First of all, do you know what time Dylan went to sleep last night?
1 a.m.
What's that guy doing?
Guys, the guy had four hours of homework to do after his soccer practice was done at 9:45.
We stayed up till 1 a.m.
Like, first of all, he did an hour and a half tutoring right after school to finish up his homework and another three hours last night.
By the way, the kid will not go until he wraps up his business.
That's good.
You know what he deserves for all that respect?
Happy meal, bro.
That kid is happy.
I will take him to some other places, but we ain't going to the Big Mac Daddy type of stuff.
Dylan, keep doing your homework.
Uncle Adam's going to take you for a half.
Oh, wow.
Look what Jen said.
I want you to see the text.
What's the answer?
What's the answer?
Zero.
What does she say next?
When are you coming home, Daddy?
I'm sorry.
So stupid.
Daddy's home.
Daddy's home.
Maybe once a year.
Maybe once a year.
Wow, Jen.
Good for you.
Yeah.
Just to clear the air here.
Are you just anti-McDonald's?
Are you anti-bad fast food?
Are you anti-decision a few years ago to try to make the diet for the kids better?
Our kids haven't had cereal for almost three years.
And like I said, they look one cereal in three years.
One cereal for three years.
Hey, hey.
By the way, I love my Coco Krispies.
It's Coco's or Chocolatey Fruity Pebbles.
Stop it.
Set them in Triscris right now.
Stop, bro.
Stop, stop, stop.
By the way, stay focused, guys.
But Brooklyn does get her ice cream, though.
Yeah, once and she dances while she's in.
Can we give a shout out to our restaurant yesterday in Miami, Sexy Fish?
Sexy Fish.
Forget about it.
They knew a guy at the table was going to jail and they gave him a shit.
Yeah, one of our friends saw you guys when I got to the bottom.
Do you have that skit of you guys in the bathroom?
Who has it?
I have.
Check this out.
I tell these guys, I don't know if you guys have been to Sexy Fish.
Shout out to those guys.
They're great guys.
So right after America Business Forum, I'm done.
We go over there to eat some good sushi.
And I go upstairs in a bathroom and I'm like, what the hell is, guys?
You know how you go to the bathroom and there's a guy that's asking for.
Somebody called.
Yeah, I don't have to attend it.
$5 you pay to it.
Yeah, yeah.
This guy had an attitude.
By the way, he pissed Vinny off because of what happened in the past.
Apparently, you guys had a connection from previously what he had done to you, which is the same girl.
Do you guys have this clip or not?
Yeah, just send it to Rob.
It was an unfortunate.
Okay, so are you comfortable with me showing this?
I don't want to put you in a position like this.
I don't like awkward moments.
I'm going to go back to the bottom.
I don't even want to bring it up.
Let's just move on.
If you're good with showing.
That's fine.
That's fine.
Which one is this?
Is it the sixth?
It's the first.
So go ahead, Rob.
I told you to just chill with Vinny.
He's like an emotional guy.
Just take a look at him staring at him.
Why'd you staring at me like that?
Why is he staring at me?
I want to sleep with everybody's girl, bro.
No, not at that shit.
Look at him.
He's school with all her.
He's cool with Don Gov. He's cool like that.
He's going to round like that, bro.
Daniel Craig, just giving me the meme.
Always trying to hook up with everybody's girl.
He's just in there all day.
By the way, I don't know if you've got a second video.
The moment you walk in to the place, you see that guy.
Yeah.
He's scared the hell.
What was this place called?
Blue Sexy Fist.
Sexy Facebook.
Can I give Vinny a quick little shout out?
Here we go, guys.
We're there at what time were we there?
Three o'clock?
Three?
Yeah, three o'clock.
It took us 10 minutes to get there.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, Mateo was totally right.
Jessica was the waitress, and she was great.
And she goes, if you don't like my sabers, he's trying to do his job.
I've got Mateo.
I'm kidding.
First of all, Vinny goes, if there was a fight, I do think Matteo can hank.
Oh, Mateo.
But go ahead.
No, no, go ahead, Go.
I got no issues with Mateo.
He just timing.
He loves both of your balls.
10 minutes.
Vinny goes, dude.
The women here.
By the way, it's brick old Miami downtown.
I'm like.
That's what you're going to see on camera.
I'm just saying.
That's what you're saying.
Because the women here are incredible.
I go, Vinny, this is the 3 o'clock p.m. shift.
And even the Maitre D, the hospital goes, wait, you come tonight at 10 o'clock?
Like, I'm going to hang out.
Vinny's like, I'll be fast asleep by then.
Yeah, 10 o'clock.
I'm on the 10th.
10 show up at 10.
We three show up at 10.
Rob, can you finish it up?
We're just giving a shout out to Nancy Pelosi, the greatest trader in Congress ever.
Her ability with the investment she made in her.
We love you, Nancy.
Life-changing.
I don't think she gets enough credit.
I think we do need to give her love.
Rob, is this.
If she had been in charge of Social Security, it wouldn't be in this mess.
Yes.
Rob, what is this right now?
This is her announcing her retirement, and then I also have a clip of her talking about the president.
Did you intentionally pause the picture with her look?
Go ahead, Rob.
Just play it.
Go ahead, Rob.
She has no teeth.
I will not be seeking re-election to Congress.
No way.
With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative.
Thank you, San Francisco, for trusting me to be your voice in Congress.
May God bless you.
May God bless the United States of America.
And is this a one-on-one where she gives credit to Trump for her career and all the accomplishments?
Go ahead, Rob.
He's just a vile creature.
The worst thing on the face of the earth.
Really?
Do you think he's the worst thing on the face of the earth?
I do.
Yeah.
Look at him.
Why is that?
Because he's the president of the United States.
New surgery funds.
He does not honor the Constitution of the United States.
In fact, he's turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court.
He's abolished the House of Representatives.
He's killed.
So now, and then this is what Fetterman had to say, which nowadays Fetterman is a sound of reason on when it comes to the city.
It really is.
I can't even correct Sediment.
If you want some reason, go to this guy.
Sweater.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I would say that's part of the worst creatures on the face of the earth or Hamas or like the leadership of Iran.
There's a lot of people on that.
I would never use those kind of terms and I wouldn't describe our president.
You can really disagree with him.
And I do disagree, but I don't think that's really entirely appropriate.
But that's her words for that.
So for me, that's just a different kinds of a Democrat for me.
I don't want to call people their fascists, they're Nazis, or compare the people in those kinds of terms.
Okay.
President Trump said for almost four decades, he almost started it with four score years ago because she's been around for a while.
Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make their country better.
No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed.
And I will always be grateful for support on Affordable Care Act.
She made us proud to be Democrats and will go down to history as one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had.
Nancy, thank you for your leadership and friendship.
Michelle and I wish you and Paul the best in the next chapter.
Tom, are you like, and I know this is sentimental to you, are you going to miss her?
No, I'm not going to miss her policies.
I'm not going to miss her divisiveness.
I'm not going to miss that side of it.
I will say this.
We need to turn to history and look at it.
As the female Speaker of the House, that was a huge accomplishment.
As a young girl that wanted to rise up and serve in government, she made it there.
She stayed there.
We can say a lot of things about her portfolio, facts on the table.
We can say a lot of things about her policies, facts on the table.
And we can say we disagree with her.
But the one element that I will give her credit for is a young girl that wanted to go serve and wanted to make it, and she did.
And what she did with that power when she got there, I don't think was entirely good for all of America.
And I'm not going to miss her.
But I'll give that balanced assessment.
And I think one of the big accomplishments was also from her husband, Paul.
You know, who knew that if your house is trying to be broken into at 2 a.m., you're supposed to pour drinks, take off your pants, and mingle.
Most people go for the gun.
That's where you're going to go.
So I will say this.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Let me tell you.
There are things that are odd, but I meant what I said about her.
I mean, she became female speaker of the house and she, you know, and she had a lot of power there.
I'm not going to miss her policies and the way and what she did with that.
Oh, her district is absolutely disgusting.
If you look at her district, it's absolutely, there's people on the street.
There's homeless people.
Pat, this is, Rob, you could just.
There's a lot of different report cards that are fact-based.
Yeah, look at this guy.
This is a lady that's traveling to work daily in Tenderloin, San Francisco.
This is her district, and it looks like a zombieville.
People on the street, garbage in the streets.
So this is Nancy Pelosi.
All she cared.
And mind you, I give you credit, Tom, for saying that.
Man, what a, she did it for the Democratic cause and what they want and all the illegals and bowing down the BLM and all.
She did a fantastic job and she's been on the taxpayer roll for 38 years, earning a salary of $174,000 a year.
She is leaving.
Well, it was lower when she started.
That's today.
Yeah, that's today.
Her net worth in 1987 was $165,000.
Guess what it was last year?
$280 million.
So you want to talk about vile creatures that cheat the system and do all the thing to get ahead.
And meanwhile, her district of San Francisco looks like that.
Ladies and gentlemen, Nancy Pelosi.
Wait, that kind of money, they could afford an alarm system at the house.
They wouldn't have had to answer.
There you go.
Well, there you go.
Drinks and all that.
Yeah.
Well, listen, I'm not as hard on Nancy Pelosi as maybe you guys.
I don't think I'm not a fan, but I will give her credit where credit's due.
I think she's the first female speaker of the house ever.
She's been serving in Congress, what, 40 years?
Crazy.
38, whatever.
You know, where I actually developed a little bit of respect for Nancy Pelosi was when she visited Taiwan.
This was, I think, in 2022, and this was right at the height of China and this and that.
And I think she or China warned her, do not go to Taiwan.
Do not show that there's alignment with the U.S. and Taiwan.
And Nancy Pelosi said, screw you, China.
I'm going to do what I got to do.
That was a gangster move on her end.
Obviously, we could critique her on what's going on with the stock trade and everything.
Yeah, there she was right there.
That was a gangster move.
I mean, we could rip her to shreds on a lot of things, especially clap for Trump.
But, you know, there's some things that we abide by here at Value Tame that Pat has taught us, PHP.
You say, outwork, out-improve, out-strategize, outlast.
She's done all that.
The one thing I would say that she probably has not necessarily done was out-improve, but she's definitely outworked, out-strategized, and outlasted a lot of the people out there in politics.
It's not for everybody.
Politics is nasty.
You got to learn how to fight.
It's dirty.
And she's wrestled with the best.
And she's been the nasty one as well.
Yeah.
Leading the way.
But, you know, we will wish her nothing but the best.
I do want to show this question from Manek that was sent in there.
Tom, I'm going to come to you with this one and see what you're going to be saying.
So this is from Greg Van Leuven.
Greg Van Leuven.
Great name.
He says, one of my best friends was born and raised in the Bronx.
Tom, I want a two-minute answer.
I don't want to be a long and I'm going to show something before we wrap up.
Okay, I'll give my version of that, Adams.
Yeah, that's perfect.
One of the best friends was born and raised in the Bronx and was running, has been running a small business under 10 employees, doing tours in New York City over the last 10 years.
For someone like him, where the politics governing the city makes a massive difference on their livelihood, but where he doesn't necessarily have the means to pick up and leave.
What would your best advice be for him and his family over the next four years?
So if you're running a tour guide business in New York, you know, everyone is not leaving.
It's not going to become a ghost town.
And you may need to adapt your product to the consumer.
And perhaps you need to now move that tour guide to things that liberals would like to see.
And remember, Michael Jordan said, Republicans buy sneakers too.
So if you can't pick up and move because of the course of your business, you know, you can respond to the market and you don't have to like everything about the market.
But as Michael Jordan said, Republicans buy sneakers too.
I would adapt myself for the people that want to be there in New York and that maybe are coming to visit and adapt your tours for them.
And if you absolutely positively can't move and can't go anywhere else, that's where I would go.
But I will say this.
There's a tremendous amount of great stuff going on in Miami.
If you made it down to Miami and the tours that you could go on Miami and see what's happened down there to the Freedom Tower that's at Miami-Dade College, which was a symbol for the people that came from Cuba, you can do it.
But if you can't pick up and move, adapt yourself to the consumers that are there and do your best.
You could just learn a couple words.
If you're going to continue the tours, just learn assalamu alaikum alaikum salam.
I mean, like here to the left, there's a thousand people running in to get three groceries at the botega.
They're all beating the crap out of each other.
Yeah, and then over here, they're all praying on the street so I'm going to hold this patent.
They get a comedy tour.
By the way, part of it made me think about the other day, I don't know why one of the girls wanted to watch the movie.
Was it breakup?
Is it breakup with Vince Vaughan and Jennifer Adams?
That's the movie I love.
You know what they did in the movie?
Vince Vaughn is a tour guy.
He's a tour guy.
He's all the best.
We're going to take over Chicago by land, sea, and air.
And her girlfriend tells her, go to this clinic and ask for the Tele Savalas.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
And then there's the Statue of Liberty.
Yeah, she does have a burka on now.
And then if you just look really close.
Lose yourself.
We got out of control.
Vince Vaughn always does this, man.
He's the man.
We love you, Vince Fawn.
When you come around the channel, Vince Vaughn.
Of the best.
Of the best.
Anyways, okay, gang, some good news for you guys.
All of a sudden, we started getting all these asks with everything that was going on with what is the event that happened recently that mafia was tied to the gambling.
They said, Pat, is the Mafia States of America out there?
Can we find a way to get access to it?
So here's what we're doing.
If you haven't seen this, this is the first time where Sammy de Bolgravano and Michael Francis, after years of talking to both of them, agreed to do a sit-down of two and a half days.
The footage, we had 24 hours of footage that we put into 10 different episodes.
They got in deep talking about politicians, their role, talking about what used to be illegal that's now legal, being used by a lot of politicians.
It was actually very, very insightful.
And it was a first documentary series that we did.
It did very, very well.
But we're going to be releasing it on Spotify for free.
But I want you to watch the trailer on when we did this sit-down.
Go ahead, Rob.
There's an old saying, it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
Well, La Cosa Nostra does neither.
That's why Patrick Beck David knew the story of La Cosa Nostra had to be told.
What is Cosa Nostra to you, and does it still have the same meaning today as it did back in the 80s?
He knew there were only three men alive who could do the story justice.
Cosa Nostra is an evil life.
We built cities.
New York, Chicago, Vegas.
They infiltrated our politics.
They infiltrated our businesses.
They infiltrated the church.
Betrayal happens all the time.
Is that inevitable?
It happens all the time.
For the first time anywhere, you will see a sit-down between two made men.
Not just soldiers in the mob.
You're not mayor.
You can't sit down with me.
But real bosses.
You're not the underboss anymore, my friend.
And the man that brought it all crashing down.
There are a few people that are genetically, inherently bad.
They mind flying all over the place.
They found Joe blowing a trunk.
45, 50 dead bodies all over Liverpool.
Wow.
Don't point your fing finger at me, or what are you going to do?
What am I going to do?
I'll bring this.
You always say, oh, man, these mafia guys could have really accomplished some lot if they'd only gone straight.
That's half true.
This is the real look for his emotion.
This was a great project, man.
Very exciting project.
Rob, when are we releasing it?
This afternoon.
It'll be up on the Value Tame and Spotify account.
I just put the link in the description.
So first episode goes live this afternoon.
Yep.
Six o'clock.
Yes, and then we'll release the rest in the following week.
So each day, you're going to release an episode that goes out, right?
Because that's 10 of them.
Fantastic.
Wow, really?
One of them will release this afternoon on Spotify.
For those of you guys that are interested, go watch it.
Do not miss it.
It's freaking amazing, amazing content.
Having said that, Pierce Morgan interview should be coming out here soon as well with a few other announcements.
