When those budgets have to be balanced and he's got to work with Hokole and all this, it's all going to come home to Bruce, man.
It's all going to come home.
Tom, I have no idea where you were.
You were not where we were.
But he's there.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's like Tom Daddy.
He's fired up.
No, no, you go ahead and do that.
Keep Manny, Mad Manny.
Mad Manny.
All right.
Listen, good morning to you.
Hope you had a great weekend.
Tom golfed a lot this weekend and ran into six guys who were diehard Adam fans on the golf course.
You know, he didn't get a hold of one, but he hit a guy, which I think is even more satisfying.
Four.
And then it is what it is.
To the person that got hit in the head by Tom, we're praying for you every single day.
He didn't hit anybody.
I don't know where that happened.
Tom, come on.
No, it's okay.
It's totally fine.
They sent me a DM too.
FBI concludes.
The FBI concludes the man who hit the golfer in the head was Thomas Ellsworth.
That's the heel.
That's the true story.
Now, let's get into it.
FBI concludes Trump's would-be assassin acted alone during rally shooting.
And of course, everybody believes it.
Okay.
Alone during the rally shooting, but not alone leading up to it.
Trump plans to end immigration protection for Somalis in Minnesota.
Yes.
Uh-oh.
Minnesota police chief issues apology as Somali's community faces backlash.
President says Chicagoans are chanting, bring in Trump after violent downtown riot leaves eight shot, one dead in Chicago this weekend, folks.

Is this a new one, Rob?
This is a new video from last week.
The responses are new.
The responses are new.
Got it.
Okay.
Trump to Mamdani on being a fascist.
You can just say it.
And apparently he got interviewed afterwards as well.
Have we responded to that yet?
Have we reacted to the meeting with the...
We have not.
Why do I feel like we have already?
We haven't yet.
No, he was going to meet him.
He was going to meet him.
We spent a lot of time about what happens if he doesn't push it.
Trump says he would be comfortable living in New York under Mamdani.
Wow.
Trump brushes off Stefanik's jihadist label for Mamdani.
She's out there campaigning.
Trump would love to see Marjorie Taylor Green return to politics.
Loomer takes credit for Arch Enemy's resignation.
Nick Fuentes, Marjorie Green was forced out of Congress by Trump for criticizing Israel and voting to release the Epstein files.
Mass Young Green resigning.
This is not great news for our country.
Fertility startup.
Ready, folks?
This is my story.
Fertility startup that screens embryos to predict height, intelligence, and disease sparks debate with young, with great genes campaign.
Can you imagine that?
What would you like, Vinny?
6'7, size 17 feet, 39-inch vertical leap.
Okay, big hands, size 10, can grip a basketball.
That's it.
Blue eyes, blonde hair, muscular like Achilles.
Can you imagine like you're just ordering like that?
It's like ordering a burger.
It's like Kim Crane made ordering your sixth husband onions off of the.
And a power forward, please.
Yeah.
House considers banning stock trading by members of Congress.
Republicans fear a midterm slump without Trump on the trail.
This next one is a great story, folks, especially if those of you guys have been to Revolution Boulevard.
Tijuana Mayer threatens news outlets, reporting on his money laundering investigation.
We have to go to that.
That's a top story for Tom.
Maduro tightens personal security as U.S. strike threatens, threat intensifies.
This guy's any day away from moving to Cuba or Russia for protection.
He's not safe living in Venezuela right now.
Trump enjoys issues.
Envoy's issue ultimatum to Ukraine to sign peace deal by Thursday.
Everybody who is looking at this envoy and the deal that's being talked about, it's one-sided for what a lot of people are saying.
But who knows?
Maybe Tom's got a different angle with it.
We'll go to Tom.
New car prices soar.
Adam was looking for a car this week and it was catastrophic.
So new car prices soared to history, guys, as buyers face mounting sticker shock.
And Barry Weiss reportedly planning to blow up legacy media giant.
This guy named Eric Swalwell is running for governor for the state of California.
And Ilhan Omar made a few comments, Vinny, about Republicans are the party of pedophiles is what she said.
And I think Vinny wants to say a few things about that.
I'm sure you're going to be very diplomatic.
And then we got a few other things here.
Expectant mothers in Dearborn to get $4,500.
Mayor announces in the state of the city and the seven ugly trends that shows America is closer to recession than you think.
That's business insider.
We'll hold that story up as well.
And having said that, gang, we are, is this Thanksgiving week?
This is Thanksgiving.
How do I want to prepare everybody for a month from now?
We're doing the Christmas tree think again.
We'll be announcing about a couple weeks what the date will be.
So kind of put that on the back of your mind.
Those guys that are in South Florida, we're kind of preparing you for that in advance.
But having said that, with what we have going on right now with the shoes, we got updates with the shoes.
Let me tell you what's going on with the shoes.
The FLB shoots, by the way, I am officially on, let me see this.
I'm on day 57 out of 58 that I've worn these shoes.
Love wearing these shoes every single day.
I think Vinny's got it on.
The other night we went to dinner.
Vinny was wearing this black pants, white shirt with the FLB shoes.
We walk into the restaurant, seven girls lined up waiting to meet with Vinny.
One girl was crying.
She was crying.
She was shaking.
She was crying.
She was shaking.
I was like, I can't.
Are you Bingo Star?
So for those of you guys that are asking about getting the shoes before Christmas for your husband or your sons or your friend, this is what you want to be thinking about.
Size black and brown.
Size black and brown.
Let me see this thing here from Language.
What's available?
So size black and brown, if you want to get them, size 9, 10, and 11 are available to get before Christmas.
White, all sizes are available except for 7, 7.5, and 8.5.
Navy, 8, 9, 9.5, 10, and 11 are available before Christmas.
Of course, after Christmas, shipment is coming.
That'll be here in New Year's.
These things, we can't even keep these on the shelves, to be honest with you, with the shoes.
Once you put them on, just go read the reviews with people reading reviews, writing reviews when they bought them.
Once you put them on, you'll realize why this has become as hot of an item for us as we expected.
It took us two years to do this, Rob.
If you want to play the clip on that, we'll get into the stories.
Here's the FLD shoes.
Go for it.
When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast.
We had the choice to make it cheap.
We chose neither.
Instead, we chose Tuscany.
We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step.
Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
I love it.
Design in Florida, 100% made in Italy.
Folks, if you haven't yet ordered one, we had two guys yesterday that ordered four of all colors.
And one of them was from UK.
The other one was from Belgium or something like that, ordering these shoes.
If you want to find out how it matches against everybody else, go to vtmerch.com.
On the homepage, you'll see the shoes.
Click on the link to go learn more about the shoes and place an order for your husband, for your spouse, for your son, for somebody maybe that works for your company as a recognition.
And go to vtmerch.com to place your order.
Having said that, let's get right into the stories.
All right.
So, the stories.
Mamdani, we haven't covered it yet.
He comes to the White House to meet with the president.
He requests it to meet with the president.
The president, of course, says yes, no problem.
He's from New York.
The president made his wealth in New York.
He came up in New York.
He has a lot of history in New York.
And so Momdani's like, yeah, I definitely have to come meet with this guy to try to find things to make things work out.
And while they're having conversations, there's a moment where one of the reporters asks a question about, look, you've called the president a fascist.
And he gets ready to explain himself.
And this shows you how comfortable president is in his own skin.
He's like, just say what you want to say.
Don't argue with it.
You're going to have to do this your entire life and watch what happens.
This was a very, very special moment that went viral on Twitter.
Go ahead, Rob.
He asked about your comment calling the president a fascist.
And your answer was, both President Trump and I have been clear about our positions and our views.
Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
I've spoken about.
That's okay.
You can just say.
Okay.
It's easier.
It's easier than explaining it.
I don't mind.
I wanted to ask you a question.
My slash little arm.
CG.
My slavani is like, you're okay.
But there was another moment where they talked about behind closed doors, Rob, where they had agreements where he asked a question on, you know, the president won the votes over for people that were struggling with affordability.
You know which one I'm talking about, Rob?
I think you do have it.
I have where Momdani says that the meeting was productive towards the end.
Okay, let's watch this.
Go forward.
Appreciate it.
Please.
I appreciated the meeting with the president.
And as he said, it was a productive meeting focused on a place of shared admiration and love, which is New York City, and the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers, the eight and a half million people who call our city their home, who are struggling to afford life in the most expensive city in the United States of America.
We spoke about rent, we spoke about groceries, we spoke about utilities, we spoke about the different ways in which people are being pushed out.
And I appreciated the time with the president.
I appreciated the conversation.
I look forward to working together to deliver that affordability for New Yorkers.
Thank you very much.
Any questions, please?
And by the way, there's a clip where Trump says he would be comfortable living in New York City under Momdani.
And then, Tom, I want to come to you.
Go forward.
Would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a mom dancing administration?
Yeah, I would.
I really would.
Especially after the meeting.
Absolutely.
What makes you comfortable?
We agree on a lot more than I would have thought.
I think he's, I want him to do a great job and we'll help him do a great job.
You know, he may have different views, but in many ways, you know, we were discussing when Bernie Sanders was out of the race, I picked up a lot of his votes and people had no idea because he was strong on not getting ripped off in trade and lots of things that I've practiced and been very successful on.
Tariffs, a lot of things.
Bernie Sanders and I agreed on much more than people thought.
And when he was put out of the race, I think quite unfairly, if you want to know the truth, many of the Bernie Sanders voters voted for me.
And I felt very comfortable, frankly, in seeing that and saying that.
And, you know, it just turned out to be a statistical truth.
But no, I feel very comfortable.
I would feel very, very comfortable being in New York.
And I think much more so after the meeting.
Yes, please.
Tom.
I would be very comfortable being in New York and much more so after the meeting yesterday.
What happened at the meeting yesterday?
The answer is, I happen to think that Mondame got introduced to something called a spreadsheet and that there's things that have to happen in New York that require federal money for it to happen.
But what's very interesting is this is the way Trump negotiates.
Trump doesn't always spike the volleyball right there at the net, right?
And posterize you.
He's like, we agree on much more than we don't.
So Trump didn't say, I agree with Mamdani.
You know, I've seen his side.
He said, no, no, we agree more than I would have thought.
And it's a negotiation going on.
That's what's going on.
And both of them are talking to their base.
So Trump is making sure the base, like us, do not look at this and say, don't kowtow to this guy.
Don't worry about midterms with this guy.
And I don't want that to happen.
I don't think it will.
But then Mandami goes on a day later, Kristen Welker on Meet the Press, and sort of doubles down on the evil, you know, the evils of the Trump administration a little bit.
He didn't go turn it up to 10, but he was on at eight.
So both men are talking to their bases after the meeting.
And Trump was clearly the alpha.
Just say yes.
It's just easier.
Just say yes.
It's like the elder statesman trying to help the guy standing by his dad's desk with his hands holded.
It doesn't change who Mondame is, but I happen to think that he got an economic lesson on what it's going to take to balance the books in New York City and that Hochul's got to go from Albany to D.C. to get money that she can give to New York.
And I think that reality is coming home to Roost.
What do you think?
Were you going to make one more point?
Yeah.
And I don't think, you know, I was reading over the weekend that the city council in New York is a little split right now.
They're not all lining up with Mondame, line up, line up, line up.
The city council in New York is a little bit freaked over the potential for losing business and tax revenue.
I think, well, again, because you made a great point, Pat, when we were talking this weekend about how you don't, nobody knows, like, you don't know what Trump knows what he's doing.
He has it.
You know what I mean?
That look, that smile that's slapping him, it's all intentional.
I personally don't, I think, you know, he's a wolf.
This guy's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Like that smile that touching his heart, I'm not buying it.
But what he said, and he doubled down here with Kristen Welker, where he said, Pat, he's like, no, no, he is a fascist.
And my thing is, when you throw that word around, it's not like a harmless insult.
Guys, it's dangerous.
Everybody knows what do we do with fascists?
Adam, you say that to somebody, you take them down, you strip them, you want to put them in jail, you want to eliminate them.
So keep that rhetoric keeps going, keep going.
I think Trump does have something up his sleeves with this guy because he's too calm and he's too complimentative because he has him.
I don't know what they were talking about.
And I think that he's going to give him the rope.
Go ahead.
Go.
Everything that you're talking about, go do it.
And we're going to see in two years that it's going to fail.
I think that's that business savvy that Trump has.
He's going to let him do his own.
Here's a follow-up meeting with meet the president Adam.
I'll come to you right afterwards.
Go ahead, Rob.
NYPD would be the ones to do so.
In that press conference with President Trump, a reporter asked you whether you believe that President Trump is, in fact, a fascist, a word that you've used in the past.
You were about to answer.
Then President Trump sort of jumped in and he said, quote, that's okay.
You can just say yes.
It's easier than explaining it.
So, Mr. Mayor-elect, just to tell you that.
Look at that face.
Do you think that President Trump is a fascist?
And after President Trump said that, I said yes.
Look at that.
And so you do.
And that's something that I've said in the past.
I say it today.
And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement about the politics that has brought us to this moment.
And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers.
You've also said in the past that President Trump has engaged in a, quote, attack on our democracy.
You've called him a despot.
Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to the democracy?
Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe.
And that's the thing that I think is important in our politics: we don't shy away from where we have disagreements, but we understand what it is that brings us to that table.
Because I'm not coming into the Oval Office to make a point or make a stand.
I'm coming in there to deliver for New Yorkers.
And a few weeks ago, I was composite right there.
Go for it.
Yeah, to me, Trump knew exactly what he was doing.
Because when Mamdani fails, which he will, he no longer can blame Trump.
Trump could have gone super hard on the guy.
But he's like, come on, buddy, we're friends, right?
Yeah.
Got you.
I wanted Trump to see.
I want you to do good.
I'm here for you.
So now he can't play the victim.
You saw he treated me horribly.
I went there.
He disrespected me.
Now he has more rhetoric for his people.
Now he has to say, Yeah, I met with the fascist.
And he actually was nice.
This nice fascist.
So the whole, he took his power away.
He neutralized him.
Now he can't play the victim.
Smart move by Trump.
But how do you feel about saying fascist, threat to democracy, and still having that?
I think if this was first term, he handles it in a different way.
President does.
I think it's second term.
And meaning when it's second term, you already have your base.
You don't need to win your base over.
So some people in his base are going to be like, what are you doing?
I can't believe you gave him this.
And, you know, why you treat him so respectfully?
Do you not understand what's going on?
There's a bunch of people right now running as socialists, just so you know, as socialists.
And some socialists are upset with him for how friendly he was with Trump.
They're upset with him and AOC because both him and AOC are now supportive of Hakeem Jeffries, even though Hakeem Jeffries is running against a socialist right now.
They're not siding with the socialists.
So it's a very interesting thing that's going on behind closed doors.
So this could end up backfiring in a different way.
Like Trump doesn't do stuff like this.
Trump's not trying to be, you know, he doesn't need new friends.
He's not sitting there saying, oh my God, I want to be friends with this guy.
No.
And by the way, if you look at Mamdani's body language, you know what?
This is the person that's running against, is this the one Rob that's running against Hakeem Jeffries?
Yes, sir.
He's a known socialist.
But AOC and Mamdani are siding with Hakeem Jeffries.
And the Socialist Party is saying, no, you're no longer socialist.
You are now in there that capitalists.
You went from being a socialist to now you're a capitalist, sitting down with capitalists.
So there's some stuff that's going on over there.
But going back to it, if you look at the body language of Mamdani standing next to the president, you know what you'll notice?
I don't know if you know what you'll notice, my opinion.
Do you notice a look like Mamdani's telling himself in his head, what is wrong with this guy?
If you think about it, like, is this the one where he pats him in the back and says, just say yes?
Let me put it in the middle.
Just look at the body language.
You know what the body language is?
The body language is like, what's he doing?
Yeah.
He's asking himself, what's the president doing?
Go back a little bit.
Yeah, go back 10 seconds.
Go back a little bit more rap right there.
Okay, go ahead, watch this.
Just watch this for a second.
President Trump is a fascist.
I've spoken about.
That's okay.
You can just say it.
Okay, go for it.
Okay.
It's easy.
You're the slap.
It's easier than explaining it.
I don't mind.
I'm telling you, he is wondering what is wrong with this guy.
I am not at this guy's level.
He is getting ahead of it.
And Trump is right.
Let me tell you: if there's one thing about this guy, he pays attention to data.
He knows when the day Bernie Sanders lost, never forget what press conference, not lost, when they asked him to step out.
Never forget what he did and how he leveraged that situation.
You don't remember what he did?
He just offended Bernie.
He's like, they took it away from him.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Says, you talk about democracy.
Bernie should be your candidate.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
And so Bernie's, the Bernie, what were they called?
The Bernie Bernie Bros.
No, there was another name for them.
They are sitting there saying, he's right.
He's right.
So they came to him or they sat it out.
They sat on.
They're like, I'm not even voting for Hillary.
I'm not going to vote for Hillary nor Trump.
So sitting out was a victory for him.
So look, of course, I don't agree with the politics Mamdani is doing and the stuff he's talking about.
But you have to know that Trump is playing games.
Adam, I think you wanted to see.
So he did the same thing with Biden and Kamala.
Yeah.
If you remember that, he was like, you're just going to anoint this person after just dismantling Biden when they inserted Kamala.
He's like, this is what you guys do?
Trump is a people person.
So if you can attack him online, but in person, he's going to treat you nicely.
If you treat him nicely, he's going to treat you nicely.
Very smart move by Trump.
I wasn't a fan of this, but I think he handled it well.
Completely neutralized the guy.
Yeah.
They need the word fascism.
Fascism allows you to be like, I'm the freedom fighter.
I'm trying to overthrow fascism.
I'm trying to push it.
You have to call him there.
You can't just call him a Republican and say, I disagree with that politician.
You have to, it makes you look, it makes you look focused.
I want to play a video for you.
There's profanity at the highest level.
If you got your kids sitting around, this is like a scene.
If you're watching Indecent Proposal or if you're watching some of these movies, you just have to, you want your kids to see those movies.
Like, if you ever watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall and you forgot the three scenes and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the other day, I'm like, I haven't seen a movie for 10 years.
I sit there watching them with the kids.
I'm like, I forgot about these three scents.
And you forget inside of you right all these things.
Take my shirt, but not my eyes.
Take my eyes.
The shirt.
But I want you to watch this.
You know what this is doing?
You know what prompted me to want to play this video?
Is these words?
Fascist, racist, what else is bigotry?
Misogynist.
Zionist, whatever you want to call it.
Anti-Semitic.
What else?
Total Islamophobe.
Any of these words you want to put, they no longer.
Gay Ju!
They know.
Meaningless.
They know not that.
By the way, I'm glad you don't read the chat.
I'm telling you what you're saying.
Meaningless.
Meaning you.
One of the best things you do for your sanity is to not read the chat podcast.
Yeah.
Wait, people are talking about it.
People are saying things.
Wait, wait, wait.
What the hell did they update this app?
What kind of thing?
Hey, for those watching, just let her rip for 30 seconds so you can kind of get an idea what's going on in the chat.
Anyways, so this is the part where certain words no longer mean anything today.
Here's a guy that runs a nail salon, Asian guy.
I've never heard anybody call somebody a bowling pin upside down.
But he went there.
Inappropriate.
So, Rob, if you want to play this clip, go ahead.
And come in here and pay me, and then you can talk to us all kind of way you want to, bro.
The fucking talks you have in the handle.
No, you can't let it.
You can get back to your damn country if you want to act like that.
Back to the you just told me to go back to my country.
I didn't say that.
Bitch, I saw your fucking EBT card in there.
Guess who?
Guess who paid for that motherfucking shit?
I did.
I do.
Bitch, you're not.
How do you want me to feed my kids?
I'm fat.
Oh, my fucking God, bro.
You got me fucked up, bro.
I pay taxes on your fucking food.
Yeah, bitches like to eat in my kids.
I pay taxes for your fucking food.
You told me to go back to my country.
You fucking lazy, big ass bitch.
The fuck look like a fucking upside-down bowling pin looking ass.
You look like bubbing, okay?
Fucking potato people.
I would love to see what this woman looks like.
No, no, no.
It's just real.
Like, this is real?
Yeah.
What he's drunk.
What he drunk to see if Grock, if this is AI, if it's real, go live.
Was it set up or he's really doing the Lord to see if it's AI?
Look at that bowling pin.
But when I heard this.
Is it this video appears to be from a Sally Beauty supply of visitors energy?
So it is real.
That's a true story.
Rob, is it real?
It seems to be.
Oh, my God.
But you know what it is?
Like, there's a part of it where it's like that fear of walking on X-Rails.
People are just done with it.
It's fatigue.
It's just like, listen, man, leave me alone.
I'm just a regular person trying to live my life and calling them.
But he's saying what a lot of people are thinking, and his switch gets flipped.
The upside-down bowling pin.
No, no, no.
I mean, not the profanity, no, but the things like you're here in a beauty store and getting many petty when you're carrying an EBT card for your kids.
Do your nails yourself at home, right?
Trim them at home.
It's just like, that's what he's saying.
And he's saying, I pay taxes for that EBT.
There's an EBT card.
But he doesn't have an EBT card.
You can't.
He's on the city.
It's a card.
But that is what EBT.
But hang on.
That is what people think.
People do think that.
They're like, what are you doing?
I'm paying the taxes for this.
And then apparently she went off on him in some way, some level.
And he's like, whoa, you're messing with me.
How do you say this?
Are we defending the legal immigrant over the actual citizen?
Just because the citizen is ghetto?
No, no, I'm asking.
I'm defending.
What is the question again?
Are we defending?
So are we defending the immigrant?
Yeah.
I assume legal over the citizen.
Yeah.
Because he's actually working, doing his thing.
And she's living off the government.
What kind of a question is that?
I'm just asking.
What are you asking?
I'm just asking.
Ever wonder why Senna walks by didn't give you high five?
Because you ask questions like that.
What kind of question is that, Adam?
She's a citizen.
Senna is a citizen.
She says she's not paying taxes yet, but when we buy gum for her.
Listen, if a guy is contributing to society, that's what you want.
That guy's contributing to the business.
What happens if he's illegal?
No, he is legal.
What happens if he was illegal?
You're breaking the law.
You're breaking a law.
But I think that's what I'm saying.
Going back to the Mambrani thing, Pat, this is going back to the Democrats and how they've successfully made words like racist, fascist, Hitler, Nazi, like a throwaway, meaning we hear it now and we're like, come on.
Those words used to like, think about it.
He's standing in the White House and he said, yeah, this guy, the president who's sitting here, is basically Hitler.
Because what other fascists do we know of?
Like, that's how weak those words have gotten.
And it sucks because when we actually have to use those words, when somebody's actually racist, people are going to go, nah.
Now, when another Hitler shows up, guess what people are going to say?
Is it like Trump Hitler?
Oh, it's not that bad.
You can thank Trump good, bad, and ugly.
Because you remember when he won, people were like, we could say the F word again.
We could say the R word again.
Trump, good, bad, and ugly, enabled free speech, which I think is a good thing.
But now people are feeling a little more lippy, which is okay, but a little more racism is out there in the atmosphere.
No, Tom?
No, we're done.
Tom, you're more racist than ever.
He's walking out.
He's done.
All right, let's go to the next story.
Let's go to the next story.
President says Chicagoans are chanting, bring in Trump after violent riot leaves eight shot, one dead.
So, Rob, I know you have a clip if you want to play, just to kind of show the madness on what's going on.
I'll read the tweet first.
Go ahead.
That's fine.
Massive crime and rioting in the Chicago loop area.
Multiple police officers attacked and badly injured.
300 people rioting.
Six victims shot.
One critical and one dead.
In the meantime, Governor Pritzker and the low IQ mayor of Chicago are refusing federal funding help for a situation that could be quickly remedied.
The people are chanting, bring in Trump.
Rob, show what happened there if you could.
It's absolutely insane to see this.
Folks, imagine you got kids and you're living in Chicago and your kids are, say, 17 years old, 18 years old.
They're going to go out hanging out with their friends.
And then they call you, Mom, you won't believe what just happened.
You're watching this on the news.
How would you react?
Go ahead, Rob.
On X from Alderman Brian Hopkins, who's, of course, one of the downtown aldermen.
And he, this is the alderman speaking here.
So that's who we're attributing this to.
He has posted a tweet on X. 300 juveniles.
He says, no, rioting in the loop now.
At least five victims have been shot.
One critical with life-threatening gunshot wound to the torso.
Multiple police officers attacked and injured with mace and stun guns.
At least one police officer has been hospitalized.
That's according to downtown Alderman Brian Hopkins, who has been very vocal, Robin, Cheryl Entre, about the need to have new rules of engagement for the Chicago police in terms of how they can deal with youth and how they can deal with large gatherings of youth that happened.
As Cheryl, as you say, when the weather gets nice, and it became quite a political story, not just a few months ago, Brian Hopkins, one of the big advocates for at least six children were shot, including a 13-year-old, two 14-year-olds, a 15-year-old, a 16-year-old, a 17-year-old.
And then less than an hour later, a 14-year-old boy was shot and later died at the hospital.
And an 18-year-old man was also wounded.
This is Chicago for you.
Vinny, your thoughts?
How much, okay?
How many more times are we going to have to hear this story?
And mind you, this is just the thing.
This is gearing up for Thanksgiving and the Christmas lighting ceremony.
How much more?
And then every time this happens, the mayor comes out.
It's all Trump.
Trump is a fascist.
He's a dictator.
Pritzker, you know, he's walking, barely breathing, and he's saying it's all Trump.
Don't worry.
No, this is just Chicago.
It's not that bad.
And I'm tired of these people.
I have family that live there.
And they're like, we're tired of it.
In 2000, like 805 more murders in 2021.
And then 4,400 people shot that year.
The numbers are coming down.
And as if they're bragging about it, Tommy, they're like, yeah, but it's not as bad as last year.
Hundreds of people are dying in your little ass city.
Drive-by shootings up, carjackings.
Remember that video we played of that guy, Tom?
He was in the park.
He looked like he was fearing for his life.
He's like, please, Trump, please bring it.
We need the help.
And I don't know if you guys saw this or not.
And Robbie, I just slacked you a picture of all the stuff that happened.
Did you see what happened this past weekend?
The young girl, Bethany McGee, Pat, 26 years old, she was set on fire on the train by Lawrence Reed, who had guess how many arrests, Pat?
You won't guess.
And Rob, don't look.
How many arrests do you think this guy doused this white girl with gasoline and lit her on fire?
Guess how many times he was arrested, Pat, if you had to guess.
72 times.
What?
72.
Lawrence Reed, I'm going to go down from Chicago.
This is happening in this great city of Chicago.
72 arrests.
He's only spent how many years in jail, if you had to guess, guys.
How many times did he serve and how much time combined?
How long?
How much?
He was in jail twice and he's only served 2.5 years.
That guy.
And then, Pat, just going down, Timothy Bowler, 45 arrests.
He killed Lawati Nareen.
Alexander Dickey, 39 arrests, killed Logan Frederico.
David Maz, what is it?
Mazarigos, 33 arrests, killed Nicole Tanzi.
And then DeCarlo Brown, 14 arrests, killed Iran.
Go down route.
Let them see all these people.
Look at that.
That's what I'm talking about, Pat.
This is unbelievable.
And Pritzker and all them pretending it's not a problem and focusing everything on Trump.
Chicagoans need to wake your asses up and stop voting for these people.
This blind loyalty to your stupid ass party.
Sorry for my language is nuts.
And then you have Amy Klobuchar, who's saying, you know, saying that they shouldn't, soldiers shouldn't take these orders, especially the orders when they're trying to send in the National Guard.
People need it.
It's a war zone.
Okay.
People are not feeling safe.
And by the way, that 14-year-old that you talked about that was murdered this weekend.
Ask his mother if he wants if she wants a National Guard in Chicago.
Ask her.
I bet you she'll say, bring the whole freaking army if it's going to be protecting us because it's not stopping.
Tom, every single holiday, every event, wait till you see New Year and Christmas, Pat.
What's going to happen in Chicago?
Anyone want to bet how many people are going to get shot and killed?
And they brag about it.
Yeah, we shy rack.
It's stupid.
Peat your prior best.
Yeah, it's just dumbass.
It's driving me.
I have family that's in Chicago and they all complain.
They all complain.
They're not voting for this shit.
It's the majority because people are giving them handouts.
And it drives me nuts, Tom.
This, you know, this is the outcome of this.
Is the downstream outcome of pandering to a voting block?
That's what we have here.
There are parents that are responsible.
You know, because sometimes when I say things like that, Pat, you know, I get like Manect.
You know, when you're saying that, you're actually being a socialist on the other side.
You're saying government should fix it.
No, government can make laws and invest in schools and to do things to provide a framework, but then you got to have moms and dads and society, you know, driving it.
And what's right here, this is pandering and enablement coming home to Roost because pandering and enablement does not have standards.
It does not have controls.
It does not have, you know, accountability.
It's the other guy, your problems, your insecurities, your anger, your envy, your greed.
That's the other guy's problem.
All those bad things.
Oh, that's because of rich people.
Or because of a guy that has a job and operates two dry cleaners and employs six people.
Yeah, yeah, that's business owners.
Boy, that's bad, bad people.
And that's the whole thing.
This is the downstream outcome of pandering to people and giving them no.
It's a P-word.
Purpose.
If you have no purpose in your life and you're just entitled and you expect to be given everything, then you live this life out of control.
And that's what you're seeing in Chicago.
A life out of control, number one, sprinkled in with immigrants that are the worst of the worst, as they've said.
Those weren't freedom fighters, not all.
Those weren't refugees.
And do I think there were some Bet David families that were coming across Eagle Pass, coming from Mexico, trying to get out of areas where the cartels were?
Yes, I do.
But there's a way to bring them in.
There's a way to do it.
And this is the downstream effect, what we have.
No purpose, no accountability, pandering to the voting block.
This is the outcome.
And Peg, explain to me, because I know it's going to be extremely difficult, maybe impossible.
How can you be arrested 72 times or 73 times and you've only spent 2.5 years in jail?
How?
And then people are like, wait, it's an isolated incident.
The mayor said he's pouring gasoline on this girl that's probably going to go see her family and then lighting her ass on fire.
Thank God she survived.
She's fighting for her life.
But make that make sense to me.
How is that system not broken?
I just don't get it.
73 times.
How many times?
It's a joke to me.
It's a joke.
Yeah.
I mean, listen, a lot of this is theatrics where you're playing theater, you're playing to the big screen, and you're getting a lot of local families that are coming and calling him out.
And he's just looking at them like this.
I will not be answering questions like that when you are using this opportunity to disrespect me.
I will go to the next person.
Yes, sir.
And you see that.
You see that.
Yeah.
But you know what?
This is part of, and he promised a lot of things he wasn't going to do that he wasn't going to do.
Now he's asking for taxes, all these other things that he's at.
Adam, do you have any thoughts on this story?
Yeah, of course.
So, you know, they say you're only as strong as your weakest link.
Chicago, whether it's real or not, they seem like the weakest link in America.
I don't know if it's actuality.
I don't know if it's just sort of the narrative, but they seem like the weakest link in America.
They keep voting for these democratic socialist mayors-type people.
Who was the mayor before this guy, Brandon Johnson?
Lightfoot.
The lady who looks like Beetlejuice.
Oh, horrible.
So horrible.
Something's going on in Chicago where they keep voting for these people.
My assumption is it's relegated to certain areas.
You know, on the last podcast, we're like, it's going on in Dearborn.
I'm like, listen, Dearborn's Detroit.
It's 15 minutes outside of Detroit.
And everyone's like, no, it's not Detroit.
It's Dearborn.
It's not Chicago.
This isn't going on in downtown Chicago.
It's going on in like Garfield Park or whatever that is on the south side of Chicago.
So if it were me, I would hyper-focus on the area, not the name of the city.
So what is the area that's causing all these problems?
And if I were Trump, I would clean this thing up.
I would.
I mean, it's multiple spots.
The Christmas lighting tree ceremony wasn't in some random spot.
It's downtown.
This is hitting home.
Adam, people are sitting on the side.
I agree with you.
That's not supposed to be an American.
Why do they keep voting for these people?
Because they're giving them incentive money to give me.
And it can't be just off of race.
It can't be off of we're going to promise you this.
That's a very small segment that's quote unquote being purchased by EBT.
Okay, let me ask you a question.
There's probably white liberals.
It's probably white guilt.
Adam, if there's probably just normal people.
Okay, ready for this?
Lightfoot, Lightfoot under Lightfoot.
Thousands of people are getting shot.
The city is a mess.
Why would you vote for another person on the same part?
If it's really that bad, he would make a change.
I don't get it.
I don't get it either.
Thank God we live in Florida.
Stockholm Syndrome.
Simply what I'm asking is: is it as bad as we perceive it is?
That's all I'm asking.
Yes, when family members are telling me, like, bro, it's bad.
Chicago is not, there's areas that are good.
Yeah.
Why do they say that?
Adam, they're from there.
You can't uproot somebody that's just been there their entire life.
Their family's true.
Everything.
He's from Iran.
Yeah, but different folks, different strokes.
I understand.
Yonkers, you know.
Adam, but some people are.
Tom's from Canada.
He left.
They don't want to leave.
They love their place.
They want the system to change.
I agree with you.
They should make a change.
But if it's so bad and they fear for their safety, try to get the hell out of there.
Well, it's getting to that point.
Well, guys, let's talk about a different community, a little bit safer community in Chicago, Minnesota.
Trump plans to end immigration protection for some Somalis in Minnesota.
He said on Friday was immediately ending temporary immigration protections for a group of Somalis living in Minnesota, the latest group the president has targeted in his mass deportation push.
This is Wall Street Journal.
Trump said on Friday night post on Truth Social that he would be stripping what is known.
Minnesota governors are hubbu fraudulent money laundering activity.
I am as president of the United States hereby terminating effective immediately the temporary protection status for Somalis and Minnesota.
Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of the great state and billions of dollars are missing.
Send them back to where they came from.
It's over, President DJT.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a Democrat, said in a post on X on Friday, he said is exploring his options to respond.
Donald Trump cannot terminate TPS for just one state or on a bigoted whim, Minnesota governor Tim Waltz, a Democrat, said on a post, It's not surprising that the president has chosen to broadly target an entire community.
This is what happens when this is what he does to change the subject.
So, Vinny, when you hear this story, I mean, I got a couple other things I'm going to get to as well.
But just with this, how do you process this story?
Well, I don't know if you guys have noticed, I was going to say Somalia, Minnesota, Little Somalia, what they want to call it, Lil Mogadishu has been on the news.
And if you notice, Pat, Tim Waltz, you know, Tampon Tim and Ilhan Omar, kind of quiet last week, kind of quiet.
We talked about all the fraud.
It's allegedly been carried out by members of the Somali community.
Okay.
Hundreds of millions of dollars were stolen.
This is the story we did last week.
Sent back to Somalia.
And guess what?
It ended up in the hands of El Shabaab, a terrorist organization.
That's why they're all crickets.
Okay.
One source even said bigger, he said that the bigger funder, the biggest funder of Al-Shabaab is a Minnesota taxpayer.
Okay.
And just this week, the 77th person in Minnesota was arrested in a $250 million fraud case against most, and most of them are Somali immigrants.
Trump, like you said, is ending the deportation status.
And now recently, I think it was Friday, Rob, a Somalian officer in Minnesota, Pat, told the Somali community, and I'm quoting him: as Somalian police officers, we work for you.
And that is why we are different from foreigners and white officers.
Pat, can we play this?
Go for it.
night we stand for you and serve you.
As you don't look at this country as refugees, there were no Somalian police officers.
So now that we have hired, it means we are working for our people.
We understand the culture.
We understand the way we understand the way of life.
That's why we are different from foreigners or white.
We build that breach.
We build that bridge again.
So thank you.
And whether you're in the homeland or abroad, you're asleep and the chief arresting.
So, mind you, I don't know if you guys know this or not.
Police are supposed to serve everyone equally.
Okay.
The moment you pledge loyalty to a certain group, you're not upholding the law.
The badge means nothing at that point.
Your loyalty, again, is the law.
And like I mentioned, Ilhan Omar, you guys notice she's the biggest mouth, the biggest crap talking, Trump, this, fascist, Hitler, Nazi.
She's been quiet.
But last week, this is her.
Oh, she emerged last week when they were talking about Epstein.
And look what she called the Republican Party.
Tom Emmer has been a huge part of what I call the pedophile protection party.
They've done every single thing possible to make sure that these files not going to be released.
Pretty like, if you think about it, is that pretty ironic?
She called the Republican Party the pedophile Protection Party, but she prays to a prophet that was the most prolific pedophile, Aisha six years old, and what married her at?
At nine.
So let's be honest.
Then she's in the Pedophile Worship Party and again, allegedly she married her brother for citizenship for him.
So it's just, it's so rich to hear her talking that nonsense about an entire party.
Meanwhile she's praying to this, to this guy and I think Pat, there's so much bad happening in freaking Minnesota and i'm so happy that Trump is making these moves, because enough is enough.
How much more are they going to be milking off the taxpayer?
Hating the freaking country, having police officers are like hey, i'm all about Somalis and talking crap about white officers and other officers.
No, that's what we were talking about.
Slowly coming in, doing their thing multiplying, hating the country, and this is what we get top.
You know it.
What really was I found very galling on this was uh police chief um, I think it's uh, Brian O'hara.
Yep, Brian O'hara.
So he says hey, we solved this crime, we arrested.
Some people quote, they were part of a group of Somali youth who have been involved in a number of violent crimes in our city.
That's all he said.
But immediately they all went hard to the hoop and they said, outrage from community leaders.
I can't believe you're saying this.
You're stereotyping us.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute when the police chief in Los Angeles says, you know the crips and bloods have got groups of youth in them that have been brought, you know, recruited to each other, that are committing crimes and terrorizing part of the cities.
They're not stereotyping all African Americans, they're talking about this group.
And he took such heat he came back and actually took it back.
I take full responsibility my poor choice of words.
My intent was to provide context and the pain I have caused.
Now you're confessing that that, just saying to the people, hey, there's a group of Somali youth not all of them a group of Somali youth that are doing some really bad things and we have to go out there and restore law and order.
And this is what happens when you don't have assimilation right.
Exactly you have.
You have a group that wants to maintain.
This is the difference between invasion and assimilation there.
I said it, bingo oh, Tom went there, Adam.
So two things.
I have no problem with police officers looking like the community that they serve and protect.
So if you're Mexican, you're Mexican in the Mexican community.
If you're Black, fine in African-american community in Compton, wherever it may be in Jews, in Brooklyn, whatever it may be you should serve and protect your community.
It builds trust.
Uh, you can communicate.
There's respect level there.
I'm an advocate for that.
The challenge that we're gonna have with these types of communities is really the biggest question that I think we're gonna deal with from a socioeconomic standpoint, and that is this, is Islamism compatible with Western American values?
That's the question.
And I'm not talking about individuals.
I have Muslim friends.
I have Jewish friends.
I have Mexican friends.
I have Japanese friends.
I have Japanese.
As long as you assimilate to American culture, we good.
But if you try to keep your own culture, Sharia law type stuff in American cities, that's where you lose.
And did you know it's not?
I looked it up.
It's not, you know, Sharia law being implemented here.
It's not illegal.
So the fastest growing community of Muslim community in America, do you know what city it is?
It's in Houston, Texas, ironically.
So we get preoccupied with Dearborn.
We talk about Minneapolis.
It's happening in each of these cities.
Governor Abbott, I believe, outlawed Sharia law in Texas.
Rob, you can fact-check that, please.
What eventually will happen is each state is going to have to just outlaw this nonsense and say, come and assimilate to America.
We want you.
We like you.
We love you.
You're all welcome if you follow American values and laws.
Straight up.
Because I'm almost positive, Adam.
But I think constitutionally, it's not illegal to impose Sharia law, if I'm not mistaken, Rob.
If I'm not mistaken, which I don't think is a good thing.
Rob, while it's doing that, did you have the clip of the officer apologizing for identifying Somalians?
Yes.
Did you guys see this clip?
No.
Watch this here.
Go forward.
The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me, and I appreciate it.
Over the last three years, we have been working together to try and address some of the real serious problems that we have in our community.
We have to be honest at times with the problems that we're having in our community, and we need our community to help us fix those problems together because it's real and it's serious.
At the same time, if people have taken anything that I have said out of context in a way that's caused harm, I apologize, and I'm sorry for that because that's not my intention at all.
Oh, man.
Apologizing for the other guy taking your words out of context?
Yeah, I didn't take them out of context.
My gosh, we'd spend all day doing that.
I'd really like to apologize for all the people that jumped up on X and took my words out of context here on the podcast and got all upset.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry, they had him hostage.
Like, you have you seen Captain Phillips?
That's exactly what that scene looks like.
I am the captain now.
Okay, I'm not gonna be the captain.
This is where you end up when you don't have the guardrails.
He didn't start out there.
He ended up there.
Minneapolis Police Department didn't start out there.
They ended up there.
And Rob, what is the idea where they sent $20 million over to let's address that real quick, the Sharia law, if you don't mind?
So the Greg Abbott outlaws Sharia law in Texas.
Yes, Abbott has signed legislation, made a statement saying that what he refers to as Sharia law elect in Texas, but the legal scope of meaning, what he calls that is narrower and more complex than a blanket outlong of religion practice.
So it's not going to be as easy as, you know, one thing for him to be able to ban it.
But Adam, were you going to say something on this?
I was going to make a different point, but go ahead, sir.
Rob, that other clip, you had a clip there.
Is this the one that's saying they're funding?
Yes.
Go for it.
Watch this here.
Minnesota taxpayers funding terrorism.
Go ahead.
Yes.
Is the biggest funder of Al-Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda-linked terror group in Somalia, actually the Minnesota taxpayer, a federal investigator, says yes.
An alarming claim first reported by City Journal, which spoke with multiple former federal agents.
The U.S. Attorney's Office has charged dozens of defendants across multiple schemes, including housing aid fraud, pandemic child nutrition fraud, and false billing for autism therapy.
In total, prosecutors say these schemes have cost Minnesota taxpayers billions of dollars.
Billions of children that have legitimately could use those resources that are not getting those resources.
It's past criminal.
Minnesota is home to one of the country's largest Somali communities.
Former state fraud investigator Keish Magan himself, a Somali-American, wrote last year that it's uncomfortable and true that nearly all defendants in these major fraud cases come from that community.
Good for him.
Taken advantage of the most generous country in the world and one of the most generous states in that country.
And according to City Journal, some of the stolen money shoot each other in the back.
What are they doing?
Investigators say once that cash arrived in Somalia, al-Shabaab took a cut.
Whether the sender intended that or not.
Pretty much across the board, people that I spoke to said there really isn't a law enforcement solution to this problem.
As you said, that's simply playing black-a-mole.
People pretty consistently told me that, you know, there needs to be a policy change here.
Critics claim Minnesota leaders have tiptoed around the issue, fearing a backlash from the state's powerful Somali-American voting block.
So you mean, wait a minute, billions of tax dollars that you guys are stealing from the American taxpayer are going to a terrorist organization in another country.
And how is that not headline news?
Of course.
Here's the challenge.
Tom brought up a good point about assimilation, right?
My question is, how do you define assimilate?
What does that actually mean?
Sort of like a catch-all term.
You got to assimilate.
You know what I have a problem with?
And dude, I go crazy on these people.
In Miami, born and raised, Cubans, Haitians, Jamaicans, Venezuelans, who have been here for 10, 20, 30 years, no English.
No inglés.
And you know, I drive Uber.
They're all Uber drivers.
They say, they ronde.
Diezonos.
Diezonos.
Ablas Englés?
No.
You've been living in Miami 10 years.
You got no English, bro?
Zero?
No, senor, no.
I said, I said, but the challenge, okay, to me, that's horrible.
I went to, you know, we have a McDonald's right here.
The lady had the worst hospitality ever and spoke no English.
I said, pick one, lady.
You can either have great hospitality and no English, I'll deal with you, or shitty hospitality and speak English, I'll still deal with you.
You got bad hospitality and no English.
Get the hell out of here.
So I freak out.
The challenge with them, they're not assimilating.
No.
But they're not funding terrorism.
They're not burning the American flag.
Very true.
That's the biggest problem here.
They're not basically funding al-Shabaab or Al-Qaeda or the Free Palestine Hamas movement.
And then I'm not worried that Haitians, maybe they're eating the cats, which is not true, by the way.
But I'm not worried that they're going to be sending money to terror networks or burning the American flag.
And then that's the problem.
And then the communists are looking to populate and dominate.
How many videos have you seen people in America saying, we're coming for you, we're taking over your churches, we're going to dominate America.
And inshallah, America will be Islamic one day.
And we're having more kids.
Hail to the no.
That's the problem.
And hold on.
And $4,500.
And to put the cherry on top, then you have the congresswoman constantly bashing the country, constantly crapping on that press job.
And hijabs, don't give me a break, bro.
While this is going on, while this is going on, here's from Detroit Free Press.
Expectant mothers in Dearborn.
You ready?
To be getting $4,500.
Mayor announces in the state of the city.
Do you know what this means?
Watch this clip here.
Go for it, Ryan.
Well, that's that guy.
If you had a baby as of November 1 or currently pregnant, you are eligible for up to $4,500.
I would just have to be kids.
Dearborn RX Kids is finally here.
We worked for this program for two years.
And if you're pregnant now, had a baby after November 1st, you're eligible.
Dearborn produces more babies per capita than any other city in Michigan.
Roughly 1,700 babies, which is why it's important that this program is live and well right here in the city of Dearborn.
Is that the same mayor that said that you're not welcome here?
Because the guy was complaining.
So Castro, I believe.
And by the way, more babies per capita in Dearborn than anybody else in the United States.
If the stat is true that he's saying, and we're relying on the mainstream or Michigan.
I think it's in Michigan, yeah.
Okay.
Then what they're saying is in Dearborn, this is what we've been saying.
Americans, you got to have kids.
You got to have kids, and you got to bring them up a certain way.
Otherwise, combination of immigration and them having it, they're going to, the phrase is known as breed you out.
That's what's going to happen.
And now they're getting paid for it.
We've been working so hard.
This is a form of handout to an immigrant group that's running a high fecundity rate.
If they want a battle time, we should have like a Woodstock, but just everybody get in that stadium and just...
Here's why this is so bad.
I'm trying to multiply.
Because we're no fans of a welfare state in America, and we are certainly no fans of an Islamic state in America.
This is both of those combined.
An Islamic welfare state in Dearborn.
Hail to the Na Mashallah.
No way.
Well, they're doing it.
If you want to find a way to move that money over, that's what you would do.
And by the way, that's the same guy.
Rob, is that the same guy that's got the clip?
I'll watch this here.
This is him.
He says this to an American.
Go ahead.
I mean, Hezbollah, you know, bombed the embassy in Beirut and including many Americans.
So I just feel it's quite inappropriate.
You're an Islamophobe.
And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here.
Oh, wow.
And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city because you are not somebody who believes in coexistence.
Have you ever heard of a mayor speak to a citizen like that?
Because he's saying, hey, listen, if you guys are doing this and you're funding this and that's it.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of mayors.
Please find out those that have constituents.
They were naming the people after.
What do you mean, Tom?
There's a lot of mayors who'll say that.
Those that are not afraid of the re-election because they're not going to be able to do that.
Because they got their voters and have their voting block.
He knows that there's a large group of voters that have his back.
He loves what he's about to say.
But you can't say that.
You can't say that if you're not who he is.
By the way, he was complaining that they were naming the street after a known Hezbollah terrorist.
Cool.
Let's compartmentalize that.
Did you see what they did in Europe?
This is a known thing.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which we're going to hear that name over and over and over again because their 50-year plan to infiltrate the West, which is halfway there.
They said, use in Europe, use the term Islamophobe as much as possible.
Yeah.
And look at London.
Look at Paris.
Look at Berlin.
They use that term.
They use that term to deflect off to their real plan.
Nobody's scared unless you're actually trying to change our complete community and our culture.
Then you should be scared.
Yep.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see what's going to happen.
By the way, it's a Muslim guy talking about coexistence.
Existence.
Tell me, that's not ironic.
Yeah.
I mean, makes you think when you hear that, right?
But let me just think.
Let me get to the next story here.
So MTG, I don't know where announce is that she's stepping down.
And it was a shocker.
It was a shocker to a lot of people.
Crockett was shocked.
Massey was shocked.
A lot of people were shocked when she made this announcement.
Go ahead, Rob.
I refuse to be a battered wife, hoping it all goes away and gets better.
If I am cast aside by the president and the MA political machine and replaced by neocons, big pharma, big tech, military-industrial war complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can never ever relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.
There is no plan to save the world or a 4D chess game being played.
When common American people realize and understand that they're about another minute.
Okay.
Political industrial conversation.
In other words, she's resigning, is what she's saying.
She's resigning effective January 1st.
When she announced that, President Trump called her a traitor, I believe, and she was upset about the fact that she was called a traitor, Marjorie Traitor Brown, because of plummeting poll numbers.
No, he didn't.
He called her Brown.
No, he said because of her plummeting numbers.
It's not green.
Oh, because the ground turns brown.
Because of the plummeting poll numbers and not wanting to face a primary challenger with a strong Trump endorsement where she would have no chance of winning has decided to call her quits.
Her relationship with the worst Republican congressman in decades, Thomas Massey of Kentucky, also known as Rand Paul Jr. because he voted against the Republican Party.
And really good legislation did not help her for some reason, primarily that I refused to return her never-ending barrage of phone calls.
Marjorie went bad.
Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie and thank her for her service to her.
And then he does that.
By the way, she's a great person as well.
I hate her with a passion.
Best of luck to you.
I love you.
Yeah.
That's Trump.
Yeah.
So, anyways, and then Massey says this is not great news for the country.
Loomer takes ownership.
Loomer says this is because of me that this happened.
What's the tweet, Rob, that you got?
Let me see here.
She said, you got loomered.
She got loomered.
Yeah.
By the way, why did she say she got loomered, Adam?
Was there a back and forth there, Rob because of the camera?
They were not friends whatsoever.
Laura Loomer is one of Trump's greatest allies and advocates.
Some call her the Trump whisperer.
The thing with what Marjorie Taylor Greene, where she really messed up, even Megan Kelly went in on this.
You can criticize Trump.
That's fine.
It might not work out well for you.
What you cannot do is go on what Megan called it enemy territory.
You go on CNN and you're going to try to downplay Trump's achievements and basically try to wreck Trump.
No, that's not going to work out well for you.
There's no benefit, if you're the Republican Party, of going ham on Trump.
It's not going to work out well for you.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, two weeks ago, was the most controversial.
Everyone's talking about her.
Then she resigns.
You don't cross Trump.
Thomas Massey, you know, they're in these safe districts.
But if Trump zeroes in on you, you do not have a future in the Republican Party.
So we're seeing, beyond this, everybody's read all the stuff that she said and has heard all the clips.
I don't need to recover that.
What I'm seeing here is she believes in what she says.
She absolutely believes she's hardline MAGA coupled to what we used to call Tea Party.
And she believes that, and she believes it with all her heart.
I don't think she's for sale.
I think she's stepping out, and I think she's going to go show up as a presidential candidate.
No, I don't think she's going to get very far.
She's not going to get very far.
But in weekend polling, she suddenly shows up on polling and on Calci as 5% chance to be the Republican nominee in 28.
Now, I don't think that she's got a shot.
She tweeted saying she has no intention to run a full-time.
It's like Gavin Newsom.
It's the same as Gavin Newsom.
I'm never going to run.
Ross Pro.
Ross Pro.
I may be making a fuss.
I've really got no intention to get in the middle of this mess until he did with both feet.
So, come on.
That's what I think is going on.
What does Calci have with her chances, Rob?
I'm looking for that right now.
Yeah, I don't think she's stepping down because she's tired, Pat.
I think she's lining up her shot.
She knows, you know, the party's kind of whatever.
Four days over the weekend, go up to top, top, top, top.
Look, 5%, number three.
After four days over the weekend, boing.
Yeah.
I mean, she's instead of sitting and dealing in Congress with all this nonsense and Trump going after, she's freeing herself up to move around the country.
She's going to raise some money.
And, you know, look at where she's at, Tommy.
She's in third.
She's not a big tent Republican that says, okay, I got to agree with you.
You got to agree with me on certain things.
I don't agree with you on this.
You don't agree with me on that.
But we got to stay under the tent for the sake of the guy we put in the White House and winning the Senate.
That's not her.
She is not a big tent person.
And this is what I was telling you, Adam, last week.
And when we kind of went back and forth, I'm not saying the party, meaning, you know, MAG and everybody's losing their minds, but like, look up, like, she's going to cause some problems with, you know, Marco Rubio and JD Vance.
Well, how are they going to debate each other?
They're going to go after each other's throats.
She's going to be the one to kind of go in there and say, hey, you guys said this and Israel that and this and that.
She's going to be the thorn in that, which I was getting to my point last week, Adam.
She's going to be the, like the Ross Parole, Tommy.
She's going to go in there and mess things up.
You know what I mean?
Not to help the party in a world where can I respond to that?
4% support for the primary for the primary?
Yeah, for the primary.
Yeah, I couldn't disagree more.
And it has nothing to do with Marjorie Taylor Greene specifically.
It has nothing to do with the whack job, low IQ Jasmine Crockett.
Show me, please show me.
There's zero precedent for any Congressperson in the last hundred years, 100 years, to do anything in a primary.
They've never been the nominee.
They've never done anything.
Here's a weird analogy.
So last week I compared Trump to Jordan.
And people want to rip on Jordan, criticize Jordan.
He's the GOAT, bro.
Ever, period.
So if we're talking about current NBA players, let's say, just using an analogy, Trump is LeBron.
Whether I'm not saying you agree with him politically or not, he's the best player currently playing, meaning stats-wise, probably the number two best player.
This, to me, are loser players who have never done anything in their career.
Swaggy P, Nick Young, Dylan Brooks, who gets traded left and right.
You know, J.R. Smith dribbling the wrong way.
These are players who make headlines, but they do not move the needle at all.
This isn't like Kevin Durant is talking trash about LeBron.
This isn't like Steph Curry's talking trash.
These are people in safe districts who have safe, cushy jobs in their Congress seats when their job is to inflame the public.
But they have zero, and I mean zero national recognition.
Zero.
So do you ever wonder why AOC, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Jasmine Crockett, why they make headlines?
Because they say the most wild, stupid stuff because they can.
You can't do that if you're a senator.
You certainly can't do that if you're a governor.
If you're a president, only if you're named Trump can you say wild, ridiculous things.
These people, in my opinion, until I'm proven otherwise, are literally irrelevant.
And the only reason they are relevant, because they'll put them on TV to say, stupid ass shit.
Roll the tape, Jasmine Crockett.
There you go.
Pat, I think there's something to what you just we just heard from Adam.
But what I really, you know, got to emphasize to people, long-term relevance or not relevance, it messes up the momentum you have and it messes up the unifying message that you need under the big tent.
That's what you need.
And does she have a chance?
No, but she seems to think so.
And she's getting inflated here.
Why was Soros spending so much dark money trying to influence district of attorney appointments and things like that?
He didn't want to be right out there, you know, holding hands with someone up there like this.
This is my money electing this person.
There's a lot of things that goes on behind the scenes.
And I think MTG is, you know, a true believer in what she believes, but she needs to be pulled in because you know what the Dems did?
They did it in a horrible, conniving way.
The South Carolina absolute, you know, screwing of Bernie Sanders in that election.
You know what I'm talking about, Adam?
Of course.
Is because they wanted, they said, you got to be out of the way.
We need one message, one candidate.
That's Hillary because we got to win.
And so even though they did that in a horrible way that completely screwed the will of the people that have been voting for Bernie in those primaries, all those people, their voices got erased and said, wait a minute, I supported.
I volunteered.
I door knocked out all this.
You don't have to agree with Bernie's position to admire the patriotism of the Americans that felt that Bernie was their guy and then suddenly got cast aside.
It's you need unity under the tent.
Otherwise, it just creates nothing but problems, electability or not.
Do we know why she's resigned?
Is there a reason?
It's all the Trump stuff, all the going back and forth with her.
She's like, I'm not going to deal with you.
So it's basically the whole wife in an abusive relationship.
She's leaving.
It's bad for business to be a Republican and oppose Trump vocally on CNN.
Probably bad for your career, yeah?
Yes.
She's making the rounds.
Do you know where it started, though?
It doesn't matter why it started.
What I'm saying, sure.
We'll get to just why it started.
The point is, where did it finish?
No, she was the loudest person in Congress, and now she's resigning within a month.
She was one of the biggest supporters from the jump.
She was.
Yeah, but what's shifting?
And I'm generally curious, Rob, was it because she's been very critical of Epstein.
She's been very critical of Israel.
She's been very critical about the economy.
She's maybe critical of regulation.
There's a list of issues.
The reality is this.
What did Tom just say?
Get in line or get out.
Is she in line or she's out?
She's out.
That's it.
By the way, where can you disagree more within politics?
The Republican Party or the Democratic Party?
Republican all day long.
You can disagree as much as you want with the Republican Party.
Talk about big tent, you know, the whole DEI thing.
The one challenge with the Democratic Party is they don't have a diversity of thought.
You can have a diversity of thought in the Republican Party.
All good.
The Democratic Party, you do not go against the establishment.
You're gone.
Bernie Sanders, she went against Trump in a very vocal, loud manner, and that did not work out well for her.
AOC has stayed in line, even though she and Schumer do not get along.
You don't have to go very far to see that they absolutely don't get along.
But she's about to get her green light.
And she has been very restrained because you don't think that she's aspirational.
You don't think she's out there.
You don't think she's really developing persona and getting better at what she's doing?
She absolutely is.
But right now, she's about to get her green light that she didn't have.
Republican Party, I'm going to primary you.
I'm going to go after you.
You know, when Joe Lieberman stepped out, by the way, you know, vice president candidate Joe Lieberman, when he stepped out of line, what did they do to him in Connecticut?
The Dems primaried him and they defeated him.
And then guess what happened?
He ran as an independent and said, Connecticut is a small town, boys.
I still got it.
And then he got re-elected as the independent.
There's a perfect example.
I don't know, though.
I don't know.
I don't know how you all of a sudden step out.
Yeah, it's weird.
I don't know how you do it.
So go through the possibilities.
She's just saying she's.
I'm good, sorry, sir.
She is tired of the Epstein stuff.
Okay, cool.
She is tired of, you know, what did she say, being hit?
What was the word she used, Vinny?
Like an abused wife.
She's going to sit there and keep taking it.
Okay.
So an abused wife that's going to sit there and keep taking it.
Okay, great.
So she's done.
I'm going to go back to living a normal life.
Who believes that?
Not me.
Who believes she's done with politics?
Not me.
Nobody.
Do you think anybody believes that?
No.
Okay.
So is this aspirational to want to run for president?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Is this a way where she's done with politics and maybe she wants the job on the view and she wants to go mainstream and she wants to make money doing that?
Very good point.
Was there an offer made behind closed doors on the view saying, hey, you come here, we'll pay you $2 million a year?
Go point.
Better life, relax, enjoy, do your thing.
You know, all this other stuff.
I don't know.
Literally, what I'm telling you, I don't know.
All I'm saying is there was a set of events that took place.
Maybe, is she married, Rob?
Is she married?
She is married?
Can you pull up her husband?
I don't know what her husband does.
What is her name?
Oh, I guess they're divorced now.
She got divorced in 2022.
Oh, so she's not married.
No, this is her ex-husband, married 95 to 2022.
What happened there?
Oh, wow.
27 years?
Yeah, what happened there, Rob?
Is there a story behind it or no?
Look and see.
Yeah, so, no, because where I was going to go when I said, is she married?
Maybe her husband's like, babe, stop it.
Let's just kind of spend time with the family and the kids.
And I don't follow her personal life.
So maybe it's like, okay, babe, let's spend time with the kids.
Maybe someone's becoming a grandchild.
Someone's having a grandkid.
There's a broken due to irregular differences.
There's three children.
Okay, let me see your political.
How old?
Okay, go a little bit lower, Rob.
Go another political 27 years.
27 years.
How old is the oldest kid?
Okay.
How old is the oldest kid?
If you go to her profile, how's the oldest kid that she's got?
Is it show, personal life?
Damn, they went in on Wikipedia.
Jeez, mine just says he's cool.
He's funny.
So, PBD, I think you're on to something while he's looking at that.
In the last six months, she's been on real time with Bill Maher.
She's been on The View.
She's been on CNN.
She's been on Megan Kelly.
It's called The Rounds.
27 years old is oldest kid.
Wow.
Yeah, so what I'm saying is, like, is that the phase?
27, 26, 22.
Kids are grown.
So she's by herself.
Oh, by the way, now maybe that it's divorced.
Maybe she's like, listen, man, I'm not trying to be an old, single, you know, my, what's the lady that I like?
Katie, what is that one?
The motivational speaker, the lady that screams at her staff, and she's just great on TV.
Kim, Katie Hopkins, Katie Porter, California Porter.
Katie Porter.
You're chocolate trash mama, Katie Hopkins, bro.
That's my girlfriend.
Get out of my shot.
Maybe she doesn't want to be, you know, somebody that's just single doing power.
Maybe she wants to settle down, have a family.
Maybe she's dating somebody that said, look, man, I'm with you.
I'll marry you.
I'll give you a ring, but not if it's going to be like this.
We don't know 99% of the stories of why she's doing this.
Okay.
Maybe it's like, you know what?
I went in there, try to be a statesman.
Not possible.
I'm out.
This is too dirty.
This is too nasty.
I just don't have it.
Who knows?
I think you know what it is.
I think you nailed it, PBD.
You went down the checklist.
Don't be shocked.
I think she's not going to rerun in January.
She's got two more coming up.
Don't be shocked if there's a TV deal or some deal where she ends up on the view or has a little show on MSDNC, whatever it may be.
She's about to go get that money.
She's about to what?
Go get that money.
The TV money.
I don't know.
I don't know.
All I'm saying is, you know, it may be completely out there or she may be wanting to run for president.
Nobody knows.
The reality is we'll find out in three years.
You said something very interesting.
I just looked up.
Brian Glenn is allegedly still her long-term partner.
They've been together for almost four years, it says.
And he is the chief White House correspondent for Real America's Voice, a media network.
He's far right.
He got a little bit of criticism for kind of a puff piece he did on her.
But he also was the one that went after Zelensky about not wearing a suit.
So she's in a relationship.
It's interesting you say that, Pat.
She's in a relationship with someone who's very visible in alternative media.
And I say alternative because Real America's Voice is not a mainstream channel.
Yeah.
So the guy she's dating is the what correspondent or he's the for media White House correspondent for Real America.
Okay.
Yep.
And he's like editorial director of something or other.
Don't forget.
I think, you know, where she was at, she was a gamer and, you know, she was somebody that would debate and she would put herself out there.
Sometimes you need that.
She didn't give me the vibe of a, what's the word?
Like, it's all about me.
It's all about me.
It's all about me.
She didn't give me that vibe.
No, she didn't give me that vibe.
Self-centered.
No, she didn't give me that vibe.
She gave me a vibe that she really believed in what she was doing.
And look, this is a very, very nasty game.
Very nasty game.
It is not for everybody.
If you get into this game, you want to be in a long-term, like Crockett said, oh, now you want to step out.
The moment you're getting some pressure, we have to deal with that guy for the entire time.
You can't handle that.
Now you want to quit.
Now you're getting out of it.
Like she was kind of like, but she's a gamer.
Like this one and this, she enjoys it.
Like Crockett is made for this game.
She's going to do some stuff with it.
But all right, let's go to the next story here.
Let's go to the next door here.
Next story I want to get to is let me see which one I want to go to.
Let's go to this one.
Tijuana mayor folks.
I know a lot of you guys care about Tijuana.
So Tijuana Mayor threatens news outlets reporting on his money laundering investigation.
How dare you report on the mayor of Tijuana?
Can you imagine?
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Rob, is this the clip?
Yeah.
Go ahead, Rob.
And it is also a media outlet that is claiming to defame me.
Well, I am also going to take action.
Legal because beyond freedom of expression, they are putting my image at risk.
Then also, I am already with a provogato for those memes that are daring to farm them, and I am also going to take legal action against those who tarnish my image and my reputation and make me vulnerable.
These types of situations, and what type of information does it refer to?
They are for a fact that I have.
Something that has to do with a situation involving money or an action of some federal crime, which is confusing for citizens, the media has to be very responsible in what they kill you because it is practically clear that it stains the image of the politician or the human being that you have here in front or of any other person that is driving like hello.
That's intentional.
Yeah, so what happened here is this politician is allegedly linked to two businessmen who have been singled out for their alleged ties to both Cartel Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa cartel.
During a series of public events this week, Miguel Brogueno Ruiz confirmed that he had received a confirmation from Mexico's Attorney General Office for a hearing as part of an investigation from an organized crime division.
The issue began this week when various local news outlets in Tijuana published photographs of court documents from the case.
One of the photographs was of a notice to appear requesting his presence at FEMDO headquarters on Tuesday, along with Brugueno.
Authorities were also looking to talk to other politicians from Baja California and other businessmen.
According to InfoBase, Brogueno's has been linked to Mexican businessmen Fernando Rafael, Salgado Chavez, and Marco Antonio Moreno Santelises, who have been outed in local news outlets as key connections to both CJNG and Sinaloa Cartel Tom.
Okay.
Let me see if I understand.
Go ahead.
A Mexican politician, you know, the mayor of Tijuana, A, is being investigated by the government.
Ding.
Yes.
B gets a notice to appear at the federal level from FEMDO, which is their RICO, this Mexico's RICO and FBI.
Ding.
And then somebody takes pictures of other things that were in court and they end up in the newspaper.
Ding.
And then he comes out and says, I will not have my reputation smeared.
I will not have this, I tell you.
I will take legal action again.
Well, you hope the legal action isn't like people hanging from bridges with no heads.
You know, we hope that what he's talking about.
Gotcha, Tom.
But look at this.
And here he's, he's tied in with the Carto Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa, which is basically like in Mexican, in Mexican government, defense contractors, right?
The biggest, most powerful groups in the United States, usually defense contractors or pharma.
Over here, it's the cartels.
And so this guy is standing up there, actually drawing more attention to it by saying, anybody that publishes this crap, I'm going to do business with you.
And meanwhile, it's like, wait a minute, but you got your own FBI, your own RICO, you got this, you got this.
And then they got a picture of this.
And then we find out that this guy's been trying to meet with other guys.
So he doesn't just want two defense contractors.
He wants all of them.
I'm your guy.
Just like, God rest his soul, you know, Dick Cheney, he was certainly the guy for the defense contract.
And Rumsfeld, they were your defense contractor, guys.
This guy, and I look at the headline and it's like, what is the, what should you be doing?
You should be finding like hungry people in the streets and finding ways to feed them and doing all this stuff and like distracting everybody from it.
So the people say, sir, don't you have to go for the corruption case?
I'm not worried about the corruption case.
I'm worried about that there's no clean water and sewer service for one-third of Tijuana and I'm here to fix it and I got to do it.
That's how you do it.
Instead of this guy says, all right, I've had enough of this crap and I'm going to mess you up.
Question, Pat, like, how, how corrupt would you say are, because I heard a lot of stories of the president of Mexico, a lot of the mayors, they're all connected to the cartel.
Oh, yeah.
Like, by the way, Adam, just him standing there talking in my brain, I'm always like, oh my God, somebody's going to come and pull the trigger.
It's not like as if they have secret service protection.
They're just out there in the open.
And it was a month ago, or was it a month ago, Pat?
Another, wasn't it, Mayor Robbie?
He's just with his family.
Somebody came up and just shot him in the back of the head and just walked away and they don't find the people.
And it's like, bro, it's all connected.
It's like the corruption.
I would, the last thing I would want to be is in politics in Mexico, bro.
You're the Tijuana.
Let me tell you something.
I'm not going to make any Mexican friends when I'm saying this.
Mexico is the most corrupt shithole in the Western hemisphere.
10 years ago, when Trump came down that escalator and he says, Mexico, they're not sending their best.
They're rapists.
They're drug dealers.
Oh, they are.
I'm not saying individual people.
If you put it in chat, GPT, Google, top 10 most dangerous cities in the Western hemisphere, you'll find two cities that are not Mexico.
Puerto Prince, Haiti and Caracas, Venezuela.
The other top 10 are Tijuana and then the rest of Mexico.
Is Jalisco up there?
Jalisco's.
Oh, of course.
I said data go from Jalisco.
Of course.
Always had a knife.
So two of the top 10 are not Mexican cities.
So this guy is Tijuana.
Mexico, Mexico.
I don't know what the hell's going on.
Hey, first, second, third.
They own the whole podium.
Dude, I don't know what the hell's going on in our southern border, but we couldn't build this wall fast enough.
People thought Trump was racist 10 years ago.
I would say that he's right.
Hey, wait, what about everything?
Number 10, number 10.
Got to give a shout out to number 10.
Who's number 10?
Baltimore.
Let's go, baby.
Way to go, Baltimore.
Orioles.
Earlier this year, I got approached with this quote-unquote great business opportunities.
Genuine, genuine, great businessmen.
Nothing to do with them.
They said, we have this amazing property in Mexico.
We're looking for investors.
I said, let me look at the numbers.
I'm not a big real estate guy.
The property looks sick.
And then they go, I go, yeah, but I'm not interested.
And they go, why not?
The numbers look great.
The property looks great.
I go, there's only one challenge.
It's in freaking Mexico.
I have no interest in doing anything in Mexico.
We couldn't build this wall fast enough.
You got that in an email?
Make it Gulf of America.
Let's be done with Mexico until they clean up their act.
It's not going to happen anymore.
I got on our southern border, and they have the top eight of the top 10 most dangerous cities in the Western hemisphere.
Did you know that their president built the wall around her headquarters?
Rob, was that true?
Behind her house?
Yeah, because she has brains because now she'd be a man.
This ruins the whole thing.
What?
Because for this year, Tom knows this.
We were doing things to recognize people for their performance in 2025.
We were going to send Adam to Cancun.
I'm good.
Forget that noise.
I'm good, bro.
Forget that.
By the way, set him up to do the podcast.
There's no chance I'm going anywhere in Mexico.
By the way, Mike Cousins.
I'd rather go to Puerto Points Haiti before I go to Mexico.
You're desperate.
Okay, you're all interested in Mexico.
You'll see me in Gaza before you see me in Tijuana.
We had a trip.
We sent a few hundred of our guys to Cancun.
And then a week after we left that resort, somebody got shot at the moment.
Oh, the Tulum Resort.
Yeah.
You want to know why?
PBD, you want to know why?
Because it's in Mexico.
Yeah.
Straight up.
But look, let me tell you.
I've been to Mexico, Cancun, God knows how many times.
There is a steakhouse called Harry's.
If you can find a way to go to Mexico to Cancun and not get shot and go to Harry's, good luck.
Go try their steak.
Their steak?
You're eating it like this?
Pa, pa.
It's like, is that the chicken popcorn or whatever they're doing?
No, it's not.
Somebody's getting shot.
Pow.
That food at Harry's Steakhouse in Mexico is ridiculous.
The presentation they bring you.
Tom, you know what was the first time we went to Harry's?
This is when Matt Sopao showed El Jeanette Williams his watch.
Oh, she never recovered.
There's a lot of people that never recovered after they went to Mexico.
Do you remember my cousin Rumson Pat?
Of course, he's cleaning the boat.
By the way, Matt Sapollo's listening.
You are a very bad man.
My cousin's had his wedding in Cancun, and I'm like doing all the research.
We did a story about how they're killing people and their Sina Laura cartels actively looking for people.
And I messaged him and he's like, Yeah, I saw the story.
He's like, Don't worry about it.
I called the hotel.
They said we're good.
They went.
They got it with all that itch.
But I was like, I was so nervous for everybody.
My brother went.
His wife went.
Let me ask you.
Because I called the hotel said we're good.
You guys, you live in California.
How many years, people?
20 years?
24 years.
24 years, Vinny?
How much time in California?
18 to 20 years?
19 years?
45 years.
45 years.
You look great, Tom.
I know a lot of people in San Diego that would go to Tijuana.
All the time.
Yeah.
I have family in San Diego.
I go, hey, would you ever go to Tijuana?
They go, bro, you crazy?
No.
You've gone there in 10 years.
Nope.
You ever go to Tijuana?
Are you asking?
See?
Of course, I've been to Tijuana.
Of course.
Papa's in beer.
There was a Papas and beer in Tijuana.
There was another club in Tijuana.
But I'll tell you a crazy story about Tijuana.
Whenever you have like, for whatever reason, you know, we live with Melva.
So you would go to the dentist and one time they're like, how much is the dental work you got to do?
$30,000.
Tijuana will do for $3,000.
$100.
Do you know how many people go to Tijuana just for dental work?
A lot.
Oh, of course.
That's amazing.
Do you know how many people go to Tijuana for, you know, friends that would go to Tijuana for a sustainable $250,000?
That's like saying, do you know how many people go to Columbia for BBLs?
Do you know how many people go to Turkey for hair transplants or leg implants?
Yeah, you get in and you get the hell out.
You don't live there.
I have a feeling.
Before I'm super simple.
There's a guy from Michua Con that's going to watch this.
He's going to see this.
He's going to come down here.
He's going to put you in a car.
Oh.
And he's going to take you to Michuacan and he's going to introduce you to all his friends.
Okay.
So let me guess.
He's a gangbanger, a former gangbanger from Mexico.
Let me guess.
I'm still trying to figure out how you get emails from opportunities.
Ricky Aguilar like that.
That's his name.
We're making names now.
Ricky Aguilar right now.
Ricky still loves me money, bro.
Ricky's lucky.
I'm not coming after him.
He owes you money.
He owes me about two humans in Mexico, whatever that costs.
By the way, before I'm the racist guy, who's my best friend?
You could say his name.
Best friend in the world.
My best friend.
Your best friend?
What's the guy?
Rothschild.
What's the last name?
Rothschild.
After him.
After him.
Adrian.
Adrian's Mexican.
So that's where you go.
He goes to Mexico all the time.
My best friend.
He goes, you want to come with me?
I'm good, bro.
I'm good.
By the way, after saying this, probably never going to visit Mexico.
No, by the way, your photo is getting put up in every Mexican bar, bathroom, brothel, pharmacy.
Pero, pero, I love him.
I love.
Seriously, this is crazy.
I love my home.
I'm going to walk out the door of the studio.
Somebody's going to pop a cap in his ass.
Listen, white guy, don't talk like that.
Listen, the reality of it is, I've had a lot of good memories in Mexico, and I'm telling you, I've been there probably, I have to say, 30 times.
Okay, 30 times.
Great memories.
When I tell you great memories, I mean great memories.
Okay.
Let me tell you.
Mexico is to guys from California what Bahamas is to folks from Florida.
And we had a lot of good memories there for Masatlan.
It's the other one, right?
That we went to go there.
Yeah.
Rosario and not Rosarita.
Yeah, Rosarita.
Papa Sambir, all that.
You take the fruit all the way down.
You know the thing about memories?
You keep them in the past.
You don't go back to the memories.
Do you remember Joe Francis?
Do you remember who that guy is?
Nick Francis' brother.
Who's Joe Francis?
Who's Nick Francis?
Who's Joe Francis?
Joe Francis used to have this company called Girls Gone Wild.
Yeah.
Do you remember that?
So back in my Kardashian days, we all went and visited Joe Francis.
Incredible, incredible property in Mexico.
Kim Kardashian, the whole deal.
It was incredible.
And then after we left, shortly after that, some gangsters rolled in and basically terrorized him, put him in all sorts of weird situations.
I think they anally raped him, and they demanded money and held him hostage.
That's not fun.
But that's what happens when you invest in Mexico.
It's the worst one that happens, Rake.
And that's what that email was about investing in.
Exactly.
First of all, I'm good.
Are you friends?
No, not anymore.
Not anymore.
Not after that.
Do you want to really, you really drop this guy's name?
Let me just read this paragraph for you.
Wow.
Francis has on several occasions been convicted of bribery, false imprisonment, assault causing great bodily injury, dissuading a witness, record-keeping violations and tax evasion.
In 2015, he pleaded no contest to child abuse and prostitution.
And in 2015, after being convicted for imprisoning three women in a Hollywood home, he fled the U.S. and lived in his residence.
Dude, you should have never seen.
Are we live or are we pre-recorded?
Listen, attempting to avoid extradition, Francis has faced more sexual assault allegations, including allegations of engaging in sex with underage partners, non-concessional sexual partners.
That guy that probably did the thing that you're talking about was probably one of those underage girls, brother or uncle.
Maybe.
I want to prove to you what you did with my niece.
I don't know this, dude.
Kim Kardashian has some explaining to do, not me.
You said he was your best friend.
You said you said you loved him.
I said Adrian was a level above 80% of the time.
Don't you put this on me, Ricky Bobby.
I said, Chaim Ross Children, Adrian.
I don't know what to say.
Play the clip.
This is crazy.
Play the clip.
This just got weird here.
Pull up a picture of Joe Francis and Kim Kardashian.
That's who SM explaining to do.
Holy mess.
Not me.
Or is this a wedding reception?
Listen, guys, I'm the Teflon Don.
You could call me whatever you want.
You can pin me, point me with everything.
That's what SM explaining to do.
Bingo.
Yeah, that was the house, by the way.
You pull up Adam Saznick.
Adam's in the back.
Kim Kardashian.
Adam's in the back.
Put up Adam Saznick, Kim Kardashian.
You'll probably find the picture in Mexico.
No, All right, guys.
All right, let's go to this.
Anyways, this is incredible.
By the way, stay out of Mexico.
The wheels have fallen off.
I'm just saying that happened in Mexico.
Like, look how popular and cool I am.
Of course.
My life is so boring.
I just get emails about that Nigerian general who's still trying to get out of jail.
If you could just send him $5,000 and he'll send you $5 million.
Yeah.
Let's go to the next level.
By the way, guys, Maduro tightens personal security as U.S. strikes threat intensifies.
At this point, is it even worth reading this?
Look, bro, leave.
Get the hell out of there.
Go to Cuba.
Go to Russia.
You don't think he's going anywhere?
No writing.
Okay, so what do you think is going to happen with him if he stays there?
He did.
He's gone.
You know what?
So read the story.
What's the story right now?
I'm going to read it to you.
I'm going to read it to you.
Vinny, I'm going to come to you with this one here.
Okay.
Actually, Tom, I'm coming to you with this one.
John R. Tom's got some stuff he wants to see if I can figure out a way to read page 15.
All right, here we go.
Venezuela Authoritarian President Maduro tightened his security arrangements as he holds carefully choreographed public appearance to rally support in the face of a potential U.S. military action.
Recent public appearance, including a Caracas rally last weekend and a televised event with grassroots supporters on Wednesday, have been announced at the last minute with public sector workers and members of the Socialist Party apparent apparatus that makes a shift from before the U.S. began assembling a major naval presence.
Maduro is developing a classic security protocols for when a person is being threatened, said Jose Garcia, Venezuela military analyst who said monitored, who has monitored his security procedures.
If he holds a public event, he makes sure there are hundreds of people there so the United States won't attack without having to get through several people first.
So, Tom, what do you think is going to happen here?
Well, first of all, Maduro is definitely under great political stress.
He's still got this bounty on his head.
There's all these things going on.
But the U.S. is still supposedly moving gently here, definitively, but it's gently compared to what we could do.
Because we could do the same thing we did to Manuel Noriega.
We sailed into Panama, tied the boat to the dock, sent the guys in, told them we were taking him.
He went over to the Vatican Embassy.
The Marine Corps set up speakers, started playing loud rock music outside the embassy at it.
And so the Vatican said, dude, you got to get out of here.
You're messing up the neighborhood.
It's really loud.
And so the Vatican Embassy told him you have to go.
Go with who?
Go with them.
Get out.
And so that's so.
If the United States wanted to extract Maduro, it would have been done on Tuesday.
But right now, I think they want a transition that's to our liking.
And you've got Russia and you've got China, which we talked about last week, Pat.
A lot of stuff down there economically, a lot of JVs, a lot of Chinese oil tankers.
And so you don't just go in there and hit Manuel Noriego in the head, take him to court in Florida and stick him in a Florida prison, which is what we did.
We took a foreign leader who was a bad guy, who is no longer playing golf with the CIA the way he used to.
And they're like, yeah, we're not having this.
And so now Maduro is looking like a guy who's like, are they really going to take me?
Are they not going to take me?
Really going to take me?
Not going to take me.
And what we're seeing live, Pat, is I think, you know, how the U.S. government will sometimes work with other people in your regime?
He's suddenly not being seen in public with certain people.
Like, has the CIA flipped one or two of his guys?
Senor, you do realize that, you know, if we come to get him and you are in the way, you are not very famous.
So, you know, so we have this game called Muerta, Muerta, Muerta.
Pick one.
Yeah.
Muerta?
Yeah, no.
And so this is what's going on.
He is trying to hide, and I believe the U.S. is trying to flip people in there.
And I also believe the U.S. wants to be very careful about China and Russia because this is a big, this is the, this is, what is it, eighth or seventh, seventh or eighth member of OPEC, right?
It's the only one that's not there in the Middle East.
And so I think that's what's going on.
And now it's like, if he holds a public event, he makes sure 100 people there, so the United States won't attack.
Maybe we should send him a film of Butler, Pennsylvania.
You know, there could be hundreds of people president.
You could still get shot at.
So I think that's what's going on.
And I think the new system.
What do you hide if you're him?
Tom, what do you hide if you're him?
Like, give me a place he goes to.
Cuba, Russia.
Where does he hide?
Who are his allies?
I think he, honestly, I think he only has one place.
He's not going to go to China.
China just made deals with them economically.
They have got no desire to cover his butt.
I think the only place he really has a home is probably Cuba because the president.
I'm going to say Orlando, but you're saying Cuba, like if he goes to Cuba, Mexico?
Yep.
Well, he's got to get asylum someplace and he's got to get protection someplace.
So he can't leave and make a mess.
The only thing, because right now, you're going to go to someplace less secure.
So we have a transition of power.
He goes, remember the rumor two weeks ago?
Said he wanted assurances if the rumor was true.
He had like four demands, and one of them was peaceful transition, and I go someplace else and you don't off me.
You pull off the bounty on my head, and you tell the CIA that they can't do overthrow practice on me once I go somewhere, right?
So I think he has to go.
I think he has to go to Cuba.
China's not going to protect him.
He's not going to speak Chinese to speak Mandarin.
Can I ask you?
China cut deals for economic.
China's, he is a pawn on the Chinese 3D chessboard.
You know, as China wants the oil and the influence in our hemisphere.
So for somebody that doesn't, like, I'm not in Venezuelan politics or, you know, I haven't gone that deep from the outside.
It seems like obviously we're interested in the oil.
Okay.
He's not a good dude, but I mean, you know, all governments do evil stuff, whatever.
What was the moment?
What was the moment that made them say, okay, this is the moment.
This is the time.
Now we're going to do it.
Now we're going to do the transition.
And obviously they're going to have somebody that we're going to want to put in there that's not combative.
That's not going to be like that, Pat.
And I could see the power move meaning Russia's Russia's interested and they're involved.
China's going to be involved.
And we're just open.
I mean, I'm, by the way, those boats that I don't even want to say his name, Charlemagne.
I'm not going to say his last name because he's not one.
Saying that we're just bombing fishermen.
No, no, they're sending boats that are potentially going to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, which I'm fine with that.
I don't want people coming here.
But what was the, like, what's the moment?
Was it this year that they were just finally like, okay, that's it.
We're going to remove you and we're going to come in and take it.
It's called Trump.
No, it's called Rubio.
Okay.
It's called Rubio.
It's called Rubio because if we're putting something together and you come in and you have your guys, like, you know, there is pride when I see my guys in PHP make the kind of money they're making and their lives are changing.
I love it.
I love seeing what's going on with Vargas.
I love seeing what's going on with Hart right now.
He's about to be the number one earner in the company.
Love that guy.
I love seeing what's happened with Gaitan, Sepalas.
I love seeing that kind of stuff, right?
Within a company.
Suazos.
I just love it.
There's something special about it.
Trump wants to see his guys win.
Okay.
Trump wants to see his guys win.
Trump wants his guy, Rubio, to be better than Kissinger.
He wants to be able to do that.
Now, Kissinger is a very interesting character.
So to me, he wants this victory to be a big victory for Rubio and set him up for 2028 elections.
Okay.
I think he's just trying to set both of them up.
Here's JD.
Here's Rubio.
Go and see who's going to become the president and do your thing.
It's the exchange.
You know what the great presidents have?
You know what the great presidents have?
If you think about the great presidents, their VPs became presidents.
Okay.
Lincoln, who was his VP?
Grant.
He became two-term president.
Not a good one, but he became a two-term president.
Not a snitch.
Reagan, who was his VP?
Senior senior.
He became president.
Okay.
So if you go look at Obama, Biden, terrible.
But he became president.
Autopin.
By the way, Bush's VP didn't be who was Bush's VP.
Cheney.
Rest in peace.
But some people would say he was the president.
Yeah, but he was not a people person, right?
He played a very different role.
And the other day, you know, we had Scott Jennings here giving his perspective.
He may, you know, listen, I keep joking about him being the CEO of CNN.
Who the hell knows what's going to happen with CNN, right?
You know, if somebody buys him, you know, he may end up having a decision.
Like, if CBS is doing stuff with Barry Weiss, you heard about what Barry Weiss said.
Did you read about this?
I just want to say one thing because I think you're right.
This is Rubio.
Rubio is very attached to Cuba.
Don't forget Trump.
Whether it's China and the fentanyl, whether it's the drugs from Venezuela, Trump ain't playing that game.
A lot of this with the drug boats that he keeps blowing up, bing, And they keep coming like idiots.
Venezuela is a narco-state.
They're basically Syria with oil.
No country has collapsed worse, had a bigger fall from grace than Venezuela in the last 25 years.
They were one of the richest countries in the Western Hemisphere.
Another terrorist narco-state led by this guy, Maduro.
I'm going to go to the next section.
You got it.
Barry Weiss reportedly planning to blow up legacy media giant.
Okay.
Okay.
You really following this so far?
Yeah, he's not, but Vinny, just so you're not playing around.
I'm so focused on the CBS news director, news editor-in-chief.
Barry Weiss is probably planning on dramatically changing networks coverage to eliminate left-wing bias and make the news for more efficient.
Weiss has been handed a mandate for change by Paramount's guidance, David Ellison, the CBS, CEO of CBS News, her parent company, which bought her company, the free press, for $150 million.
Ellison wants Weiss to bring news that reflects reality and journalism that doesn't seek to demonetize, demonize, but seeks to understand.
I want to blow things up, Weiss has reportedly told her colleagues during meetings.
During the hiring process, Weiss has reached out to outside talent directly rather than speaking to their agents, which is considered the traditional method of communication.
She has also reportedly been highly involved in booking guests in an attempt to fix the network's ratings.
Weiss is focused on trying to reshape CBS Evening News, which has consistently ranked third in place behind ABC and NBC.
CBS Evening News typically averaged around 4 million total viewers.
On the week, November 3rd, the program garnered 4.2 million viewers, 564,000 in the 24 to 54 category, which is the most important one to them.
While NBC News Tightly had 7.2 million with 6.6 million total viewers, as well as 929 and 883 in those demos.
So I think something's going on here, Tom, but go ahead.
What are your thoughts about Barry Weiss and what she's doing at CBS?
She's doing exactly what the LSMs wanted to do.
When Paramount Sky Dance Deal gets done, Vinny, they basically bought 10 small houses in town.
And do you think they want to make money on all those houses?
Of course.
Make all those Airbnbs profitable?
Of course.
If one of them has been this crazy family living on the corner and it was painted an odd color and everything, they're not having that.
They're like, no, no, no, let's change it.
Let's make money on all this.
And so they look at it and they say, you know what?
We need news that reflects reality and that doesn't seek to demonize but seek to understand.
Those sound like leadership comments that would come from people like the Ellisons.
Listen, guys, we're in third place, fourth place during the elections when you get like, you know, Fox and others come up there and get us.
And cable's not getting any easier or any better.
It's more of a streaming world.
What the hell are we doing?
You know, if you're setting your goal to stay in first place, congratulations, kids.
You've succeeded admirably.
But that's not what they're saying.
They're saying we think CBS needs to get back to where it was.
Once upon a time, it was the Tiffany Network, and Barry Weiss has been giving a charge.
So what has she done?
She's made some changes.
She didn't do it all on day one.
She's waited, what is this, like 45 days now?
And so now she's saying, we're going to blow this thing up, which is like, I believe what's going on, Pat, is Barry Weiss has done some things over the first 45 days, and some of them have been successful.
Some she's getting resistance inside.
She had to go, why was she going direct to talent rather talking to agents, Vinny?
If you have a comedy place that's just not run very well, sometimes you have to break through and they just call you direct rather than deal with all the agents.
Man, there's so much BS going back and forth.
We can't get a deal done.
So I'm calling you directly.
Has that ever happened to you?
Yeah, and you're doing a festival or a comedy jam or something?
Of course it does.
That's happening at CBS.
And you've got, she had some success with some things.
She did a couple of things.
And now she's like, all right, you guys have had your chance.
And now she's saying publicly, I'm going to blow up this thing.
And there's leaks of the people she's talking to.
So she went out and she booked her own guest for things, called people directly.
Hey, I worked with you back over here.
I need you on here.
Come on up here.
Let's do this.
Let's do that.
And now she's saying, and we're going to change some of the people.
And she's announced some of the people she's leaving.
So now the Daily Caller comes out and says, reportedly planning to blow up Legacy Meeting.
What the headline should be, Pat, Barry Weiss losing patience with the pace of which Legacy CBS is cooperating.
And she's putting more people on notice because she has a pen and she has a mandate.
And that's what's happening.
When you hired an entrepreneur to come and do a corporate job that's been political for God knows how many decades, he's going to come and mix it.
She's going to come and mix it up in a ways that they're not going to like it.
And by the way, part of a $150 million deal, Tom, how much of that $150 million deal you think is not really free press?
Is that the name of the company?
I think it's good.
How much of it do you think is free press?
And how much of it is like, listen, pay me $150 million, come and run the entire company.
So part paying for the business, part paying for, is she getting a salary at CBS, Rob, on top of the $150 million?
Can you ask Chad GBT?
Is Barry Weiss getting paid a salary on top of?
Would you say yes?
I would assume.
No, I think it's a share.
Yeah, probably, but it can't be that much because it's got to be tied to specific bonuses.
Like if I were to hire her, we buy her business, no problem.
But now it's like, hey, come and increase rating and sponsorship.
And there's a major deal appointment.
$150 million.
Cash and stock.
Cash and stock.
Same time she was appointed editor in chief.
So it implies that between $100 to $200 million for her venture available coverage.
Yeah, but is there a salary involved?
Or is it just an equity and a bonus deal if she increases?
I think it was an Aqua Hire, you know, where you acquire something, but you're hiring the people.
Both together.
Yeah.
And what do you think that number would be, Tom?
I think she's getting most people look at it, did not think free press was worth that amount of money.
Of course.
Now, was it successful?
Was it growing?
Was she a force of nature behind it?
Yes, yes, and yes.
And by all accounts, she was doing a good job entrepreneurially.
But was it worth the full 150 or was it maybe worth 70?
And we'll give you four years, 20 a year on this deal to do it.
You also don't know the Ellisons are not dumb.
The Ellisons are not dumb.
And these deals, you also have earnouts and you have things that play into place.
Hey, the free press can't fall apart.
It's got to keep doing well.
Got to keep doing this.
But I think that there's a very, very meaningful percent, Pat, that was for her to be the leader.
And the rest of it was for the free press as a fairly valued podcast asset.
But the free press only had 367,000 subscribers.
To give somebody $150 million for that, that means they really like her.
They really trust her.
And I mean, Pat, at the end of the day, how hard, I'm being genuine, Tom, how hard is it to just say, guys, your model sucks?
I mean, this isn't, it's not like a breaking news flash.
You guys are just one-sided, the political arm of the left and the Democratic Party.
CNN's model, Pat, even though CNN's still not doing good, the only show that people are watching that goes viral, that has clips, is Scott Jennings going against everybody and destroying them.
That's meaning it's entertaining and it's informative, and you're not just being propaganda for one side over and over and over.
I don't think it takes a genius to say, guys, enough is enough.
Just like when we talk about with Bob Arger with Disney, how many billions of dollars do you have to lose to wake up and say, we don't want that LGBTQ crap in the movies?
We don't want this pushing the transgender stuff.
We don't want you to push anything on us, especially our children.
I don't think it takes a genius to go in there and say, guys, enough.
And it takes her to do it.
I think she's going to do it.
But I don't think it's that outlandish of an idea to just say, guys, stop.
Like, it doesn't work.
We're losing money.
Look at late night TV with Kimmel and these guys.
They're losing all this money, but guess what?
It's worth it because the sponsors are giving money because they want their party to win.
Right.
Two things happen when you go into a corporation like this.
The first thing is it's not 10 people in a room that you can talk like that.
You can talk to 10 people at a time like that.
But then the rest of it is it's worse than the cartels of Mexico.
These people are behind this person.
They're protecting this.
These people are behind this person.
It's all political.
And you have political groups lined up behind shows, behind divisions and departments.
And you're trying, Barry Weiss, trying to figure out who can you trust, really trust?
Who says to you, man, I've been working here for the last five years.
I've been really waiting for someone like you.
How do you identify who are the people that are real and the people that are full of crap and need to go?
And the next reality is you can't fire everybody on day one.
Otherwise, there's no one at the fire department.
You know what I mean?
And you can't run a business.
So you have to win the hearts of those who are going to follow the plan and then carefully, surgically remove the people that aren't.
And then sometimes you don't go to your lawyers to call the agents anymore.
You call the talent directly.
You start having meetings directly.
That sends a leadership message inside the organization that says, okay, not all of you are cooperating, but some of this as an entrepreneur, I'm going to go do myself.
Adam.
So Barry Weiss is officially a media power player.
I don't know where she was on your top 50 list when you do these lists.
I don't even know if she was on the list.
She's going to be on that list this time.
Maybe top 10, maybe top 20.
I don't know where she currently ranks, but she's on that list.
2020, she was famous for basically pulling a Jerry McGuire-type move at the New York Times, basically calling out the groupthink and the woke left establishment that basically runs the New York Times.
She then built this free press.
She catapulted to the Paramount CBS world, cut a check for $150 million, received that money, whatever that looks like.
And now she's basically a major, major player.
She's, her name has been mentioned on this podcast more times in the last month than maybe in the last five years.
Would you disagree with that, PBD?
So she's doing something.
Thank you.
She's doing something.
She's doing something right.
And I wish her luck.
Yeah.
And I think if the business model goes right, you know, don't be surprised if, and the likelihood of this happening is not going to be as high as Barry because Barry's ran a business before and she knows what it is to run a business.
But don't be surprised if CNN comes in and so a David Ellison type buys them and a Scott Jennings is getting something that he does, a bigger role than what he has.
Not, you know, I keep saying he's a CEO of CNN, but I'm talking a bigger job than he currently has today.
Who knows?
Too sure.
He got offered to go to different places.
He says, I don't want to be somewhere.
I think he was offered to go to Fox.
He turned it down and he's staying where he's at.
A lot of moving parts right now.
You see, Brett Baer is still available and free agent-ish.
You're seeing some of the names that are getting the phone call.
Scott Jennings even got a call, I believe, from Barry Wise about CBS.
But we'll see.
We'll see what happened next.
Let's go to the next story.
Next one I want to talk about is what's going on with Russia and Ukraine.
They're trying to get the peace deal done and wrap it up.
And Zelensky is like, I feel like everything is favoring more Russia, not myself.
And he's not too comfortable with it.
So let's get into the story here.
Rob, is this one of the clips?
Yes.
Okay, president.
So Trump envoy issues ultimatum to Ukraine to sign peace deal by Thursday.
Here's the president talking about it.
We lost Adam, guys.
Go ahead.
If he doesn't accept it, that the U.S. would pull back its support for Ukraine.
Well, at some point he's going to have to accept something.
You know, he hasn't accepted.
You remember right in the Oval Office not so long ago, I said, you don't have the cards.
Don't forget, I inherited this war.
I would have never, this war never would have happened.
I inherited this war.
And I thought he should have made a deal a year ago, two years ago.
The ultimate deal would have been if it never started.
That would have been a good deal.
That could have been done too if you had the right president, but you didn't have the right president.
So the Trump administration has told Ukraine and European officials there's little room to negotiate on its plan to end Russia's war.
And the U.S. heaps pressure on Zelensky to sign a deal drawn up by a drawn-up with Moscow's help by Thursday.
U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll told European ambassadors and Western officials at a volatile meeting in Kiev late Friday that he was optimistic that now is the time for peace still, but warned that Washington would show little flexibility.
We're not negotiating details, is what he said.
Tom, your thoughts on this here.
So I think this is really good news.
When you were speaking at a conference in Miami, going back just a couple weeks ago, a fantastic conference.
It was very interesting.
We were invited to a dinner the night before, and Witkoff was given the key to the city by Mayor Suarez, Francis Suarez.
And who could have known that between giving a very sharp-edged analysis of foreign policy and related economics on stage to the audience and receiving the key to the city,
that he was across town, apparently, because the timing is right for what they describe, you know, working on one of the bigger deals of the Trump administration and the way they did it, working with the main protagonist, Russia.
And I think that's a testimony to the foreign policy that's there.
It's clear that Witkoff and Marco Rubio don't disagree on a lot of things, but actually didn't agree on the whole list of it.
But what's very interesting to me is that this doesn't happen without Trump's leadership and telling them, saying, listen, you go do this.
They're not going to do this without Trump.
Hey, we're going to be gone for a couple of weeks.
We're going to talk to all these people.
Is that cool?
Be like, wait a minute, who are you talking to?
When?
So all of the stuff that Trump said, well, I wasn't sure, wouldn't know about that.
Yes, he did.
And now they're putting it in the position to saying, look, some people don't like it because they say some of it looks like it was just the same points from Russia here, here, and here.
Other points looks like Witkoff is being very skillful that says Ukraine will not join NATO.
But after this is over, a peaceful Europe is important and a Europe that will protect its neighbors is important.
You see the delicate nature of that, Vinny?
Because Russia didn't want him to be NATO with that, you know, the article that says you attack one, you attack all.
That's automatic.
That's trouble, and Russia doesn't want that.
They want, Ukraine wants some sort of protections.
And the most interesting part of this, Pat, is at the end of it is Europe says, oh, we will come and make a counter-proposal.
And it's like, no, you won't.
We're not negotiating details on this.
And actually, I think Zelensky is in a bad place.
I don't think, in other words, a different and worse place than he was earlier in the year.
And I think that Trump's team has done a really good job putting this in front.
And for the benefit of the world and the benefit of everybody else, you know, this thing has to get done.
And there's going to be people that scream because I think Russia is going to keep certain territory that they think is their historical territory.
And I think that Ukraine needs to get back to normal because I'll tell you, Ukraine is the Midwest of Europe.
It's got more farming, agricultural that right now they don't have.
And they need Ukraine to get back to producing grain and to being this incredible economic agricultural power that it was more than that.
But the agriculture is huge.
And I think Witkoff did a really good job getting it to this point.
Now let's see if Zelensky gets the message because the fact that this is being all talked about.
I believe that if Witkoff has gotten Russia this far, then there's equal back channel that's gone to some of the European people.
He only needs a couple of them.
He needs a couple of them to say, you better go whisper in this guy's ear and tell him the gig's up.
You know, it's not like when he left the Oval Office and he ran over here and then the UK shook hands with him and then Macron shook hands with him.
Remember, he went on almost like a sympathy tour of Europe after yelling at JD Vance and getting into that altercation.
I think it's not just this deal that's on the table, Pat.
I think there's more than that because I think Witkoff knows and has been incredibly skillful of this thing that you can't go in one angle with it.
I think Europe is on notice and I think there's some of this they have to let Europe save face a little bit.
Listen, I'm going to let you complain a little bit, but I'm not going to change this deal.
But I'm going to let you say what you need to say in public.
I think that's what's going down.
Adam.
So to me, this comes down to one thing.
Who has the most leverage?
So in any deal, who's most willing to walk away?
So what is Putin looking for at this point?
What is Putin asking for?
More land and what is more land and what he said from the beginning, stop trying to put bases and get NATO one inch.
They said that they weren't going to do it, and they've kept pushing them under the Biden administration.
And that's why he even invited the little incursion.
He basically invited them to attack.
That's basically what he's saying.
Yeah.
And then what does Zelensky want?
He wants more money.
Give me money.
Every freaking month we would come over there to defend his country.
Listen, there's a lot of people.
Did you notice something?
Let me just say something.
When Trump was campaigning, what did he say about Ukraine?
We're done with Ukraine.
We want nothing to do with this.
We're stopped funding this.
What has he done since then?
We're still helping Ukraine for the most part.
Not like the hundreds of millions of dollars that we were giving.
But they realized, you know, what is Andrew Cuomo saying?
You campaign in poetry and you govern in prose.
He gets in office and he realizes, yeah, Biden was an absolute chaotic president.
You can argue that he caused this damage, but he realizes it's like 3D chess.
It's not just about Ukraine.
Because if you fund Ukraine, they're neutralizing Russia.
Russia can't help in Syria, which fell.
They can't help fund Iran.
They can't give them drones.
They all of a sudden can't do China.
This is 3D chess.
So in our opinion, yes, I don't think that we should just be blank-checking Ukraine.
However, if using pragmatic geopolitics, you understand funding Ukraine hurts Russia, which hurts our enemies more than it helps our allies.
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah, but from the beginning, there was no way.
And I understand the war has been dragging on, Adam, because they want it to be dragging on.
They don't want peace.
They want forever wars.
But there's no winning from Ukraine.
Who wants forever wars?
What do you mean?
All the people that are, all the war hawks and all the Nikki, everybody.
For sure, the military said this from the beginning.
He said this from the beginning.
But couldn't you also argue that Putin wants more war?
Yeah, I mean, they all, yeah, they can all want more war because he wants more land.
And if you're not.
Do you remember what?
Remember when they had that.
Why do you think Putin wants more?
They've said this before, that the war is basically fueling Russia's economy.
Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country.
What do they do?
They do oil.
That's all they do.
And vodka.
But after this war is over, what does Putin have going on there?
What has Putin done?
Russia, to me, is a...
You know how you do the...
The thing you've done on your booklets.
Are you underachiever, overachiever?
To me, Russia is the biggest underachiever country in the world.
They could be so much better.
They could do so much more.
They have the biggest landmass in the world.
They have more oil than everybody.
They have nuclear capabilities.
And all they are is a regional bully.
To me, Russia is a just could be so much greater, but they're just so much worse than they are.
Chattanooga, really, the benefit here for Russia, you think Russia is doing better selling oil during the war than not?
Do you know how many countries Russia got sanctioned?
Tom, how many countries were sanctioned to do business with Russia?
I don't know the exact number, but it was massive.
It basically put a near halt.
I think they were down to 20, 25% of exports, previous exports.
I think they stepped on it like that.
They've been evading sanctions, though, I'm going to say.
45 countries have imposed sanctions on Russia pledge the adoption of UK Parliament research noted that many countries abstain or refuse to implement a full-sign sanctions.
Sanctions are typically sectoral targeted rather than a blanket ban.
And if you pull up the number, Rob, was Russia selling more oil pre-war or post-war?
Was Russia selling more oil pre-war with Ukraine or post-war with Ukraine?
I'm trying to see the benefit for Russia in this thing.
Here's a summary.
Ran a stable year over year, seven and a half million barrels.
71 million variants to European Central Bank.
Pre-invasion, Russia's volume were higher than what is observed right after the invasion, 15% drop.
But then I don't know what's a large deal recovered.
Yes, pre-war, Russia was exporting more oil than immediately, but the post-war 20, Russia exported a larger return to volume.
Or the key difference is the shift of destinations and economics.
Yeah.
So I don't know if it's a better situation for them.
And I don't know how Russia is benefiting from this.
I think Russia, the only thing for the majority of the money.
Yeah, I think the only thing for me with Russia is it's a horrible look when you start the war.
You better finish the war if you started the war.
It's not a good look.
You know, you started this war and you prompted this.
It's not like Ukraine started it, right?
So to me, the biggest thing is how they're going to be seen around the world.
If Trump comes in and they broker the deal and they bring them together and they get a lot of things they asked for, at least Russia will be able to say face.
So I don't know about how Russia's winning from this.
They're not.
I mean, you remember six months ago, whenever that was, you can fact check the date when they met in Alaska and, you know, Trump flew over the plains and it was like, oh, they're going to.
And I said to many people said, you know, you're wrong, you're wrong.
I said, nothing's going to happen from this.
How could you say that?
I said, because I don't think Putin actually wants to stop this war.
Putin could stop the war today if he wanted to.
Everyone thought that Trump was going to.
Yes, of course, but without getting what he wants.
The point is, what does he want?
He has not expressed this fully.
Of course he has.
Of course he has what he wants.
He's made it clear what he's interested in, what he wants.
And the envoy is trying.
Why do you think?
Why do you think Zelensky?
Did you see what Zelensky said about the envoy?
Rod, do you have a quote from what Zelensky said?
I think yesterday Zelensky said, I feel like this whole deal is one-sided.
I feel like this whole deal only benefits Russia.
So if the person, if he's, no, not that.
Is that the one?
Let me zoom in a little bit on the quote.
I have approved Ukraine's delegation for Democrats.
guaranteed russia crimes must never be rewarded or forgiven it's it's a little bit more than it's another one where he specifically talks about the fact that he feels this is a one-sided deal Well, if it's a one-sided deal, how does one get a one-sided deal?
Only because the other side knows what they want.
You don't get a one-sided deal if the other side doesn't know what they want.
That's why he's not happy about it, or else they would have closed a deal.
I also don't think he wants this deal to be done as well.
You know, I don't see him being a like when Trump says in his opening line, I said he doesn't have the cards to negotiate.
What does he mean by that?
He's also acting like he's got a ton of leverage.
From who?
Trump's cornered everybody.
Trump's cornered UN.
Trump's cornered, you know, NATO.
Trump's cornered NATO.
Trump's cornered, you know, a World Economic Forum.
You know, they want him to go speak in Davos.
Hey, we just want to let you know there's no woke topics.
There's no woke topics.
They're now doing what he wants everybody to do.
No more of these bullshit games you're playing.
And he's moving so fast because I think what Trump is doing right now, truthfully, I think Trump in one term is going to do where the average president would take three terms to do.
Oh, I agree with you.
I think that's why he's going the way he's going.
He really, if you really want to know what I think he's going for, I think he's really going for to be this, in his eyes, as the second greatest president of all time.
I think that's what he's going for.
In his eyes.
Good.
In his eyes.
Now, you know, you'd have to go ahead of Washington.
You'd have to go ahead of Lincoln.
You got some work to do, but he's already ahead of Reagan.
For sure.
I think Mont Rushmore, though, he's probably like, I think they could put another one.
What I'm saying is, like, I think he is really going at this pace because he wants to get so many things done and then put his resume out there and say, go put somebody against this.
Yep.
Go ahead.
Put somebody against this.
I really believe he's doing that.
I do too.
That's why I believe that Anchorage didn't get certain things done, except Trump established himself as a alpha.
Oval office.
A lot of things didn't get done except Trump established himself as a alpha.
I don't think, do you think Trump wants another Anchorage or another Oval Office?
He doesn't want a third one so that the media and everybody could say, wow, three losses in a row.
And you and I both know those aren't losses.
There's a lot of posturing.
There's things that go with that.
No, he doesn't want that.
And Witkoff knows it, and everyone knows it.
I think they've got people where they want him, and this thing is going to get done.
Russia wants two things: certain land Dornbus, certain land Crimea, and you won't join NATO.
That happens, it's done.
But at the same time, why would Zelensky Pat want it to stop when he's gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from us?
There's a bunch of corruption that's going on, meaning all these guys, there's one guy forgot his name.
What has he got lately?
He hasn't gotten good.
No, nothing from us.
Good.
I don't know what.
I don't know how much money he's getting from us.
So daddy has stopped the allowance.
Daddy stopped the allowance.
Think about it.
If you're Zelensky, why would you want the war to stop?
You know what I mean?
They're running out of ammo.
You run out of freaking troops when they're doing conscriptions where they're grabbing people out of the cars.
Pat, if you think about it, we're the ATM machine for him.
Of course, he doesn't want it to stop.
Why would you want it to stop?
One of his leading generals has been caught up in this corruption thing.
And The Hague, they're talking about the European Union helping to take this guy to The Hague.
And The Hague is the court.
And so Zelensky's now got a cover for his guy.
So there's things going on here, I believe.
I got one last story, Adam.
I'm going to come to you and then I'm going to go to the slide story.
To me, I understand why you would say you think Zelensky doesn't want the war to stop.
I don't know why he would want the war to continue unless he's the most selfish person in the history of the world.
Maybe, oh, that's not for people.
Well, don't rule that out.
Yeah.
Again, I gave you that.
His people are dying.
He's trying to bully the bully.
Putin is the bully.
He's trying to hang with this.
Why would Poland give all this money?
Why would NATO give all this money?
Because they recognize that Russia is the threat.
Zelensky might not be your favorite guy, but all eyes are on Putin.
They know that he's the bad guy.
I understand, but I still don't trust.
Like Zelensky, I just, if I'm going off of gut and intuition, Adam, I don't trust the guy.
I don't think he gives a damn about his people.
Why do you think they're grabbing fathers off the street and throwing them in vans and putting them into the meat grinder?
No, description is not a good thing.
I don't trust him.
I don't know if he trusts my money this war.
I know he does.
Let's go to the next story.
Fertility startup that screens embryos to predict height intelligence and disease sparks debate with gray genes campaign.
Rob, is this a clip on it?
Yes.
Go for it, buddy.
Is this a commercial they made for?
Yeah, and I'm so excited today to announce the launch of Nucleus Embryo.
A genetic optimization software so that parents have children looking to be a bigger possible start in life.
This announcement also marks the first time a company has openly partnered with a couple to help them optimize their embryos based on intelligence.
For me, the launch of Nucleus Embryo is deeply personal.
My parents are immigrants from Iran who came to America with nothing but conviction that me and my siblings would have more.
They sacrificed, struggled, and made bold choices that opened doors for me I could never have imagined.
But my parents or anyone couldn't change.
I'm going to stop right here.
I'm just going to read it.
It's going to be a lot fast.
So this startup he started, Iranian guy screaming to predict a baby's height intelligence has sparked controversy.
Nucleus genomes blanketed big apple subway stations with billboards this week as part of their Have Your Best Baby campaign, encouraging prospective parents to build generational health.
The company has also posted flyers outside American Eagle flagship and Soho reading these babies have great genes, a reference to that retailer Sidney Sweeney's commercial that, oh, you got to be kidding me.
Nucleus offers customers access to genetic optimization software allowing them to analyze, compare, and select their embryos based on 2,000 genetic predictions.
The technology not only screens the potential health conditions, but also physical traits such as eyes, hair color, causing critics to claim the company is using IVF to create designer babies.
It is.
So eugenics is profitable now.
One commuter snarked in a Navira post on X.
That post prompted heated debate about nucleus while others are describing the technology as terrifying, dystopian.
However, defenders hit back claiming the company was simply offering more options to parents.
Wouldn't you want your child to have the best possible outcome?
One asks, you're going through the IVF process anyway.
Why would you just pick a random embryo instead of the best possible one out of your lot?
How is this controversial?
I mean, it's a good argument.
They're going back and forth.
Tom, where do you stand with this?
Man, I don't think we should mess with life.
And whenever you play choose the winner, I'm really against that.
I understand that people really turn to a lot of things when you really want to have kids.
Kim and I were considering adoption.
We didn't get there real tragically with our first child.
And So we refer to like Bailey as our second child, and we understand the pain of wanting a child so badly.
But when you sit there and you listen to the IVF people when they told us, they said, well, you got to take these injections every day and you may get multiple embryos, but then we'll go do a selective reduction.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You'll do what?
Well, if you've got sex tuplus, you may not want that.
So we'll go do a selective reduction.
So you're going to say, hey, you're pregnant with sex tuplus.
You only want twins?
Okay.
One, two, three, four.
You lose.
And to me, that's that's horrifying.
Now through genetics, that they can tell propensity toward height or things like that.
I don't know.
I can see why people would want a healthy child, but it seems, I agree, really dystopian to me.
And I'm not liking what I'm seeing.
Adam, would you be open to the idea?
You and your girl are sitting there and you're a sports guy.
You know, if you had a choice to choose the height of your kid to be as detailed as possible, six, seven, you choose the look, you choose all that.
Would you want to be able to have the option to do that?
Look, the most important thing that if my girl is pregnant and she gives it a baby when the baby's born is that it's not black because that means I'm not the father.
So stupid.
I'm just saying.
Other than that, I think the market is going to determine if this is a viable option or not.
I think, listen, my father had birth defects.
He had cerebral palsy.
It affected his physical ability.
It didn't affect his mental ability or his emotional ability or spiritual ability, but physically, he had major, major issues.
I'm sure my grandma, if she could go back in time and say, yeah, I don't want my son to have cerebral palsy, she would have done that.
If there's no him, there's no you.
When I was born, exactly.
When I was born, his whole thing was, is he healthy or not?
They're like, he's totally healthy, but he might be gay.
I was like, listen, dad, why would you even bring that up?
I'm not even a turns out I'm not, Vinny.
It's okay.
Okay, I got you.
However, yes, if you're going to do, if you're going to do, if you're going to have designer handbags, if you're going to have designer dogs, like Tom Brady just duplicated his dog or whatever he did, I'm sure people are going to be very comfortable having designer babies.
So as long as a baby is healthy, that's the most important thing.
And as long as it's your kid, that's probably the second most important thing.
Vinny, you know, I don't like the whole taking children and making them into like bilde-bears.
I think you don't mess with the author.
God made every single one of us, tall, short, bad, whatever it is.
There's a purpose.
There's a reason.
I saw this video, Pat.
It would give me emotion.
I don't even want to talk about it or send it to Rob about this kid who was born and the sores and the, and it's just in the suffering.
And he was so emotional in what he was saying, but he's like, God, I am the way that I am to make other people that are going through stuff and struggling.
And I'm giving them hope and I'm giving them like, you know, God made like David in the Bible and short and throwing a rock and everybody had their own ways.
I don't think doing this and going against God, it is what it is.
And I think this is playing, I don't know.
It's a slippery slope, but I'm not a fan of it.
How much do you think something like this costs?
Because IVF is not cheap.
It's like 25,000.
I don't know if it's not.
Just IVF is 50 grand.
I don't know.
I know.
I have friends of mine that done IVF.
More than that.
And it doesn't work every single time.
I have a friend that's probably spent a couple hundred thousand dollars to have kids.
He had twins.
So I have no clue how much this is for the 1% of the 1% of the 1%.
And by the way, they will pay for it, no doubt.
And by the way, can we just acknowledge another Iranian entrepreneur making a contribution in America?
What is with these people?
These H-1Ps.
What is going on here?
I should have picked a model, though.
I mean, listen, simple observation: if you're Iranian and you can't grow a beard, don't try to.
It's just a known, like it's very known.
Like, I'm part of that community.
You know how bad I've tried to grow a beard?
It doesn't happen.
