Josh Hawley Challenges Minnesota AG In HEATED Fraud Hearing | PBD #738

Josh Hawley grills Minnesota AG Keith Ellison in a fraud hearing, exposing his $10K payoff from Epstein-linked donors nine days after a suspicious 54-minute meeting, amid a $250M COVID-era nonprofit scandal tied to Ellison’s network—yet no consequences follow. Meanwhile, California’s wealth tax sparks a $1T exodus of billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, while Newsom’s wife dominates a Planned Parenthood press conference despite Democrats’ economic mismanagement. Hawley dismisses voter ID opposition as hypocritical, citing 76% black and 80% Hispanic support, and mocks CNN’s declining ratings (40% drop since 2017) as proof of mainstream media’s irrelevance. The episode blends institutional corruption, economic warnings, and a call for faith over political activism, framing Hawley’s rise as a counter to progressive failures.

	You are a one-on-one?
	My son's right there.
	I don't think I've ever said this before.
	All right, guys, one day away from the weekend to be here.
	And we're doing a Friday podcast.
	Looks like my voice kind of came back this morning a little bit.
	Me and Alex were having a hard time yesterday.
	I don't know how many shots I took.
	By the way, we took olive oil shots, a couple of them any.
	Then, you know, Mikel brings these shots.
	We take it.
	Then Mikael brings something in a cup that he made.
	Alex goes like this.
	But we had a great conversation.
	Anyways, we got a lot of stories.
	It looks like Homeland Security shuts down tonight at midnight.

	Yeah, we will.
	And then numbers came back about Super Bowl halftime show, Bad Bunny, where he ranks for the most viewership, where he topped.
	Curious what you think without looking at the data.
	But the most important data that came up that Umberto just shared with me is toilet flushes.
	Okay?
	Toilet flushes.
	I've never heard of this before.
	But he said every year, NBC News sends a report of how many times the toilet was flushed.
	Literally, this is a story.
	And that shows people's interest of walking out to go to the bathroom or watching the show.

	Vinny, what do we have going on here today?
	Well, a new faith over fear hat is coming soon to a theater near you.
	But I just wanted to say this morning, I was listening to Billy Graham, which Pat, you told me to listen to him.
	You're like, you know, Vinny, dive in and listen to him.
	So I'm getting ready in the morning.
	I'm just listening to Billy Graham, and he said something that I hadn't heard in a while.
	And it was the Apostle Thomas.
	When Jesus rose from the dead, Thomas wasn't there to see the resurrection.
	So Thomas goes, I'll believe that he rose if I get to put my hands in his wounds and in his side.
	So then he finally sees Jesus and he goes in there.
	He goes, go ahead, Thomas, go ahead, put your hands in here.
	And Jesus looks at him.
	He goes, because you have seen me, you believe.
	Blessed of those who haven't seen me and still believe.
	And in that moment, Tom, it hit me.
	He's talking about us.
	Okay.
	We weren't there.
	We didn't see Jesus walk.
	We didn't see him die.
	We didn't see him rise from the dead, but we believe.
	And that is faith in real time.
	And he's talking about us.
	And the last one, you mentioned the story about the Nigeria that we're sending 200 troops.
	Trump is sending 200 troops.
	They're saying they're not going to do anything crazy.
	But think about that.
	Think about the priests.
	Think about the parishioners in those churches that were bombed and murdered and slaughtered.
	And they were in that church praying and saying, please help.
	That is faith over fear in real time.
	And that's what we're about.
	And that's what the brand is about.
	And I can't tell you how many people see me with the shirt because the shirt's on the back and just tap me on the back and go, I'm with you.
	Or they see this hat and they go, where can I get that hat?
	So you go on vtmerch.com, get the hat.
	We have the hoodies.
	We have here am I send me, which is Isaiah chapter 6, verse 8 as well.
	But yeah, just go to vtmerch.com and pick it up.
	Spread the word.
	By the way, if you work with Vinny every day, you would see how much he's changed in the last three and a half years since being here.
	His commitment to his faith is unbelievable, and everybody around him feels it.
	Okay, all right, so let's get right into it.
FBI Destroyed Evidence 00:14:40
	Rob, what story should we get into first?
	The first story that everybody wants or is voting for in the chat is the FBI destroying the Epstein prison footage.
	What is that, Rob?
	So it turns out, here I have a news article on it.
	It turns out that the Department of the FBI may have destroyed the tapes of Jackson.
	I see that page 11.
	Okay.
	Let me read it and we'll get into it.
	Epstein files reveal FBI authorized destruction of master copy prison footage in 2024.
	Page 11.
	Is this it, Rob?
	Yes, sir.
	Go for it.
	New documents show the FBI destroyed its master copy of surveillance video from the night Jeffrey Epstein died before public demands for its release grew.
	When the agency later put out footage, it was a screen recording with a one-minute gap.
	Officials initially blamed a nightly system reset, but records show that theory was never verified.
	Congress later released the full video, including the missing minute, which showed nothing unusual.
	The Justice Department has not commented.
	Rob, what is this?
	This is a report that came out, I believe, two days ago that the FBI destroyed the original master copy of the jail cell video, which may or may not have shown somebody sneaking into Epstein's jail cell on the day of his death.
	How do you process that, Tom?
	Well, the FBI is the nation's highest, most elite law enforcement.
	When we have things across state lines, when we have things that are major frauds, they partner with the SEC on major financial fraud.
	But here you have the highest, the elite of our law enforcement is actually destroying evidence, not preserving evidence.
	I'm shocked.
	I'm absolutely shocked.
	This kind of takes it back to when the FBI, and now we've seen it, you know, 60 years later, how there is evidence from the Kennedy assassination that was not preserved, that it was missing.
	And it just, what it leads to is the public, and I'm part of that, just doubting.
	You know, it's like, how can you have faith in an organization supposed to be investigating one of the most significant crimes we have of the most significant player in this insane, you know, scandalous, horrible, multi-level crime operation that apparently was going on on that island?
	And the guy that gets killed, the evidence isn't preserved.
	When was this?
	It just destroys my faith in the law enforcement.
	When was trusted destroyed, Rob?
	I believe, according to the emails, it looks like it was destroyed the day or the day after Epstein's death.
	So it says in June 2024, an FBI agent was granted authorization to destroy an evidence item labeled 1B60, 1B60, which turned out to be the master copy of the prison surveillance video from Epstein's final hours.
	The FBI described this destruction as routine because the underlying criminal case was closed and the evidence was considered no longer pertinent later when the Justice Department needed the footage.
	Again, in 2025, they did not have the original master copy, so they worked to reconstruct footage from a secondary system recording.
	The reconstructed video has a gap of about 62 seconds that wasn't captured.
	But who destroyed it and when?
	They destroyed it two days after he died.
	Who's they?
	This FBI authorized.
	What is this FBI agent's name?
	Do we know?
	It's redacted in the files.
	Right here, it's the black bars in this email.
	So XYZ advised.
	Rob, can you please read the blue?
	Sure.
	Redacted advised that only one hard drive of the camera system was working at the time of the incident on August 10th, 2019.
	When a DVR went bad, none of the cameras recorded.
	There was a system failure of DVR2 on July 29th, 2019, and the motherboard failed on DVR2 on August 8th of 2019.
	The hard drive failure occurred on August 10th, the same day Epstein died, 2019.
	After the incident, Redacted was asked about the cameras.
	There were two new hard drives to install, but installing the new hard drives would mean that all prior data would be lost.
	The warden wanted video, and so redacted was told to start working on the system.
	Redacted started removing the bad drives in order to rebuild the DVR.
	Redacted advised that an FBI agent was the one who pulled out the DVR.
	Redacted also advised that he knew that by replacing both hard drives, the system would be wiped and that he had advised personnel at MCC of that.
	Like, could we take a second?
	So they knew what they were doing two days later.
	Tom, thank you for saying that.
	Can we just all for one second get on the same page?
	Why?
	Why would the FBI do that?
	So two things have one of these has to happen.
	Either he was removed, many cameras down, footage, everything, get him out, put a body in there and just say, oh, it was Epstein because they fumbled everything, pal.
	Or number two, someone came in, killed him, and then they left and they don't want to show it.
	So let me just, really fast, Pat, this is why people have questions like me all the time.
	When he tried to kill himself on July 23rd, that footage was accidentally deleted.
	Okay.
	He said himself he was assaulted and he did not commit attempt suicide.
	Then again, against protocol, they moved him out of Suicide Watch and six days into unit without constant monitoring.
	On the night he died, the guards missed the 3 a.m. and the 4 a.m. rounds.
	They apparently fell asleep and browse the internet.
	Both later admitted they falsely recorded records for that night.
	His cellmate was removed two days before he died.
	Protocol, again, messed up.
	One day before his death, he made an unmonitored phone call violating prison policy, claiming he was calling his mother.
	By the way, she'd been dead for years.
	And then the cameras malfunctioned.
	All right.
	And then the jail itself hadn't seen a death in 21 years.
	Okay.
	And then there's a 4chan post by prison guard Roberto Grivalva made hours after Epstein died, claiming Epstein was wheeled out, shackled in a wheelchair the night before.
	An unauthorized trip van arrived without logging in and a person inside was wearing an army uniform.
	Think about that.
	And then the crime scene was destroyed immediately after he was killed.
	All right, inmates reported hearing shrieks from his cell that night.
	Official dismissed the reports.
	His body was found near-seated, kneeling position with his body one or two inches off the floor, ligature around his neck.
	The marks didn't match the bed sheet.
	Pat, all of this aligns to either they shut the camera off or they deleted it.
	Somebody came in, grabbed him, they put a body in there, and they're like, all right, clean the scene up and leave.
	So then when people like me go, dude, the guy might be alive because they never released an actual photo of him.
	It was always from the side and he had a hook nose.
	And as everybody could see, he doesn't, that's not the, that's not the facial structure of Epstein.
	None of it makes sense.
	The only thing, and then when people like us go, wait a minute, are they lying to us?
	Then you put these facts in and then they call us crazy.
	It doesn't be crazy.
	When this happened, the sitting president was Biden and the sitting FBI director was Chris Ray.
	Just so you know.
	It's important to know that when that took place.
	Adam.
	So here's what's going on in my mind.
	There seems to be all the stories regarding Epstein when he's in prison.
	Like there's a missing minute.
	Now things are being deleted.
	Well, they were deleted.
	The cops are falling asleep.
	This is why people have so many questions and the story will not die.
	So what's the thing you talk about?
	Hanlon's razor?
	What's the definition of that?
	Never attribute to malice, which can be explained by stupidity.
	Either everyone that's in charge of the jail and the prisons and the DOJ is just bumbling, fumbling idiots, or there's genuine malice going on here.
	It can't be both.
	Can you just be dumbling, fumbling, mumbling idiots who are also trying to cover up everything?
	That's the challenge I have here.
	Pick a lane, guys.
	Either be like, yep, we cleaned it all up.
	Sorry, nothing to see here.
	Or we're absolute, absolute buffoons who are running the government.
	That's the problem.
	But you remember it was about a year and a half ago and we were on the old set and you were like, guys, nobody cares on the list of priorities of Americans, blah, blah, blah.
	And here we are a year and a half later, Adam.
	It's the number one talk thing about.
	Now, by the way, and it's not going to stop.
	It's going to keep going because it's the ladder.
	Adam, they're covering up because there's billionaires, there's powerful people.
	He was extremely powerful.
	He worked with the CIA.
	He worked with Mossad.
	All these people, he did all these favors, and then he's in jail.
	It's not so far-fetched.
	They go, hey, listen, we're going to arrest you because we have to arrest you.
	We're going to make it look, the cameras are going to do this.
	The guards are going to sleep.
	We're going to look like you killed yourself.
	And then we're going to send your ass off to another country, grow a beard, and live somewhere else.
	It's not that hard.
	Adam, it's not that hard.
	Guess what?
	When you say, when we do this, the FBI deleted it.
	Fact.
	Okay.
	Kash Patel is saying, there's nothing here.
	BS.
	And now we know.
	And guess what?
	We can't do nothing about it.
	So nothing about it.
	You don't even have to go that deep, Denny.
	I respect what it is.
	No, no, no.
	I respect what you're saying, and I follow that line of thought in a lot of ways, but you don't even have to go that deep.
	The one minute is exactly the time when an assassin would need to get in to do it.
	For sure.
	And medical examiners around the U.S. all said, you know, the limited pictures are there.
	If that's not a stage picture and this isn't here, then that doesn't really line up with this kind of a death.
	So you have medical examiners saying, shouldn't we look at this?
	This doesn't look right.
	And then you have the minute missing of exactly the time to get someone in there.
	Just stop right there.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Just stop right there and then say, why would you erase the hard drive or would you do things to erase it?
	Remember, they erased a hard drive in 1963 in Dallas, Texas, and his name was Lee Harvey Oswald.
	Right?
	If you think of it that way, when you lose evidence at the exact appropriate moment, I mean, come on.
	And when you do stuff like this, and then you have people like us questioning it, they call us crazy.
	It's like when you have a pizza shop in Washington and the owner and Podesta and his brother are all talking weird stuff about $60,000 worth of pizza and kids and bring the kids in the hot tub and everything.
	And then we're called crazy.
	No, no, you guys are crazy because you're horrible at covering up your crap.
	Because evil, evil at the end, Pat, when you talk about bad policies have bad consequences, your stupid, evil, demonic selves are going to show yourselves.
	You're going to show yourself here.
	Light always wins.
	Rob just ran this.
	Let Pat talk.
	Sorry.
	Look, Rob just ran this poll.
	I saw it.
	I saw it.
	That's our 52% believes he's still alive.
	44% believe he was killed.
	5% believe he killed himself suicide.
	Nobody thinks he killed himself.
	Can I just respond to video?
	Yeah, real quick.
	By the way, I'm with you on how passionate you are.
	Don't misconstrue me not making this a top three issue in my life.
	You said the country doesn't.
	You said nobody's going to, nobody cares.
	Nobody.
	And now look at how, Adam, what's the number one thing right now?
	I'm going to give you a stock market.
	Everybody's like, yeah, the stock market.
	Nobody gives a damn.
	It's perverted, pedophile, probably cannibals, probably disgusting demons are running the show.
	And they're untouchable.
	I mean, I'm with you.
	I'm going to go to the next slide.
	Yeah, so it's not you.
	I'm going to talk slowly, so I'm with you.
	It's not just me, it's the data.
	Six months ago, we ran the data of they said, what are the top issues that everybody in the country is focused on?
	And it showed one for Epstein.
	Like I'm talking the entire country.
	And we go, oh, 1%.
	And they go, no, one person had this in their top three.
	So two things can be true at once.
	Everyone is worried about the border, immigration, their pockets, affordability, their family.
	Like that is the number one issue for everybody.
	Separately, we could also want answers on what's going on with Epstein.
	Two things can be true at once.
	It's not just whether this is my number one story or not my number one story is irrelevant.
	People want accountability.
	I totally get that.
	But none of this is affecting genuine people's lives.
	Yeah, last thing.
	Something that I focus on, maybe some people can use this little trick.
	It's sort of a Venn diagram.
	It's things that matter and things that you can control and where you should focus and where those two things intersect.
	We have no control over Epstein.
	No, no, but this, but this is.
	Do we have control over Epstein in the document?
	And if that's the case.
	Pam Bondi can't even do it.
	If that's the case, what the hell are we doing a podcast for?
	I'm not sure if you're a good person.
	Do you think you have control over the stock market?
	You think you have control over Bad Bunny?
	This is called a discussion for the audience to sit there and they want to see what different people's opinions are.
	What I'm saying.
	But we're not investigating.
	I understand having control or not having control.
	We're reacting to the different stories that are coming up.
	Pam Bondi, on 0 to 10, how do you think she performed?
	Pamela on the abysmal job.
	No, no, no.
	The hearing.
	Oh, the hearing?
	I give her a five.
	She was right in the middle because she was fighting back, but all the, like, this saying the stock market is good and all the other stuff that was happening.
	Why did you give her two?
	I give her a two.
	I thought, and I don't want to, I don't want to give that.
	But guess what?
	I got to call Balls on Strikes.
	And the answer she gave, a couple of the redirections she had, she had one interchange with a.
	What clip was the most disturbing for you?
	And what clip, Vinny, was the one that was most impressive for you on her behalf?
	The clips that I saw of her calling them out on their BS and all their relationships and Jamie Raskin's connection and Hakeem Jeffries, who talking all this trash, he was begging for campaign funds from Epstein after he was already caught being a pedophile.
	And just if you don't mind, just really fast, just 20 seconds.
	Adam, we were worried about the border.
	We were worried about the community thing because it was all messed up.
	Trump fixed it.
	And now that it's fixed, everybody's back to number one being Epstein.
	That's the whole thing.
	Go to Crockett.
	Go to Crockett.
	Go to Crockett, Rob.
	This is one of them that Vinny was talking about.
	Yeah, right there.
	Watch this.
	This is the ending, I'm assuming.
	This is the one I sent you.
	Okay, go for it.
	Go back home.
	Go back.
	Convicted.
	Homicide, arson, weapon offense.
	Convicted.
	So what are we talking about?
	Convict some of these perpetrators that rape these women that were sitting in the room belongs.
	And you refuse to even acknowledge they are here.
	Time belongs.
	Gentleman from Kansas.
	Mr. Chairman, can I have a few seconds back?
	Texas from Cuba.
	Tom.
	Conviction.
	How about yourself?
Convicting Perpetrators 00:07:14
	What was the clip for you where you said, you know, that was to cause to give a two?
	I hated the whole segment between her and Massey getting into it.
	Okay, got it.
	That was just.
	Wexner, why didn't you?
	I made you.
	Yeah.
	That whole part?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's like, and by the way, they're on the same team.
	They're wearing the same jersey under all this.
	I don't know if they're on the same team.
	No.
	No, hang on.
	They're supposed to be wearing the same team.
	We have midterms coming up.
	We had a lot of things going on.
	And Thomas Massey on the Republican side has kind of become like a Joe Lieberman kind of in the middle, kind of a wild card.
	And I just didn't like that.
	I just didn't like it at all.
	I thought it was a bad look.
	I didn't think it was a good answer.
	And I thought that they really got into it.
	It just, she didn't look poised.
	Didn't look like an attorney general, you know, on top of her facts and everything.
	And I was disappointed.
	I was really disappointed.
	I didn't want to see this.
	Got it.
	Makes sense, Rob.
	Played a clip.
	And then the gentleman can move to the next one.
	Chairman's questions.
	Within 40 minutes, you asked me a question.
	Within 40 minutes, Wexner's name was added back.
	Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed.
	Red-handed.
	There was one redaction out of the city.
	And we invited you in.
	This guy has Trump derangement syndrome.
	He needs to get.
	You're a failed politician.
	He needs to get a lot of people.
	I want you to watch this.
	Restore his time and remind the witnesses of the rules here.
	There is no credible information.
	None.
	Got it.
	Well, I mean, listen, it is, I couldn't find a reason to celebrate it.
	Rob, can you pull up the tweet on what I posted yesterday about what certain things we become united on, my opinion?
	So if you go to the third one, yeah, right there.
	The Epstein files have become the biggest black guy to the administration.
	There are a few issues that Unite Americans cross-politics, religion, and income levels.
	Protecting kids is one of them.
	The last three administrations failed to address it.
	This was an opportunity to finally confront it head on.
	The attack, deny, and never apologize.
	Playbook doesn't work when children are involved.
	Yes, there's a lot to celebrate.
	Murder down 20%.
	Border more secure.
	America projecting strength.
	Markets performing well, but none of that matters to parents if kids aren't protected.
	It's also true many on the left are more focused on taking out Trump than protecting children.
	Otherwise, this would have been a priority years ago.
	Still, this has been badly mishandled.
	When it comes to kids, transparency and accountability aren't optional.
	Major fumble.
	No other way to say it.
	By the way, did you guys see the clip of Epstein's butler?
	The camera.
	And by the way, I just had Rob right now.
	Fact check it before we show it.
	This is a real clip.
	Okay.
	So watch this, Rob, if you can play this clip.
	A little disturbing when you watch this.
	What is it?
	You know which one I'm talking about?
	Watch this.
	Go ahead.
	If you hire somebody, I will be fired in two seconds.
	Did you ever see anything on those computers?
	Yeah, the edges of girls.
	Exactly.
	I saw it.
	You saw it.
	Remember, I told you there was a maxwell had an office under the stairs next to the kitchen.
	Yes, there's the computer who was a red needle with water.
	First time in my life, I saw that to keep it cool because they used to download pictures like this.
	Just like that.
	All kind of pictures.
	Naked.
	Naked girls from both from Sweden, from Romania, from Czechoslovakia, from Brazil, from Paul Myers.
	All young girls.
	Very young.
	Very young.
	But when you say very young, how are younger people?
	18, 17, teenagers.
	They don't have races, most of them.
	Younger than thatself?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay.
	And I'll this guy from Sitcher, he erased all those images.
	I assume, I'm assuming.
	Yeah, because were you there?
	If you hired somebody.
	Yeah, these are the people he's talking about.
	And then he died in 2014.
	Yeah, he died in 2014.
	But he died because of cancer.
	That's what he died for.
	I don't want to put it like he died from anything else.
	Anyways, by the way, here's the question I ask, Alex.
	I'm going to ask you, Vinny.
	How much longer you think this story is going to last?
	Epstein?
	They got.
	President Trump's not been president for how long?
	13 months?
	You're in a couple months.
	Is it 13 months?
	13 months, right?
	A little less than 13 months.
	Yeah, a little less than 13 months.
	He's got three more years left.
	How much longer will this be a story?
	How much longer?
	We know how much longer he wants it to be a story.
	Obviously.
	You know, he's talking about it yesterday, and Trump says, why do you, I don't even understand why people care about Epstein.
	And Lutnik is in the back laughing.
	Do you see that clip?
	Is this it, Rob?
	This is President Trump being asked about Lutnik's involvement in the SPS.
	Oh, go ahead.
	President, were you aware that Secretary of Commerce visited Epstein's Island?
	Do you continue to have a question?
	No, I wasn't aware of it.
	No, I didn't.
	I actually haven't spoken to him about it.
	I wasn't.
	But from what I hear, he was there with his wife and children.
	And I guess in some cases, some people were.
	I wasn't.
	I was never there.
	Somebody will someday say that I was never there.
	You notice how much he goes back to, I was never there.
	He always goes back to, I was never there.
	I think the part of it here, you know, when the audience watches, there's things you can laugh at.
	There's things you can laugh off.
	You know what I'm saying?
	There's certain things you cannot laugh off.
	You know, like even if we do a story and, you know, I'm doing a story and we're joking about certain stories.
	Certain stories you can't even joke about.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So here, I think this is it, Rob.
	If you want to play, yeah, watch this.
	Is he hosting some kind of gathering of top advisors this evening to talk about how to respond to the NFC in the situation?
	I don't know.
	I could ask you that question.
	I don't know of it, but I.
	But credible information.
	Listen.
	I don't know, guys.
	You know, we're fans of Lutnik.
	Big time.
	We're fans of the work that he does.
	But what do you look for when you play poker against somebody for six hours?
	You look for what?
	A tell.
	A tell.
	Maybe laughing is his tell.
	And maybe he's got, you know, I don't know.
	Do you understand what I'm saying?
	1,000%.
	And by the way, again, I've always said that I'm one of his biggest fans because of what he's doing and the way that he addresses the camera and stuff.
	But if we're going to be honest, he sat in front of that interview, podcast, whatever you want to call it.
	And he's like, no, he invited us to his house in Manhattan.
	We walked in.
	We saw the massage chair.
	And I was like, ugh.
	And that was it.
	Now we find out because of the files, you took your wife and your kids to the island?
	Like, this is the clip, right, Rob?
	Yes.
	You played this one and then left.
	We left.
	And in the six or eight steps it takes to get from his house to my house, my wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again.
	So I was never in the room with him.
Merrick Garland's Appointment 00:15:41
	Socially?
	For business.
	Okay, Rob, you can stop it.
	And then, guys, and let's just call a spade a spade.
	Then you come out and you say that you took your wife.
	And here's my thing.
	After someone's been convicted of being a disgusting underage pedophile, whatever you want to call it, you're going to take your wife and kids and fly them to the belly of the deal.
	Sorry, the plea deal.
	Deal.
	The plea deal.
	What are we talking about?
	So they're lying.
	So to answer your question, Pat, I don't see this thing going away until actual people go to prison.
	Because people like me, I'm going to let you talk, Adam.
	People like me, and I've said this, I want to say 50 times here, let justice be done, though the heavens fall.
	You don't see it like that because of the institutions, and I get that.
	But let me ask you this question, Adam.
	You think God, you think Jesus Christ is cool?
	And if he was here right now and he's like, oh, they're using it as leverage?
	All the rape and probably murder and cannibalism and kids.
	Yeah, yeah, use it as leverage so this other country, we don't go bankrupt.
	You think Jesus Christ would be cool with leverage for pedophilia and murder?
	Nah, I'm sorry, bro.
	That's not what my religion is about.
	That's not what God in Christ is about.
	I want people to go to prison.
	We just saw Pat, who's a Goldman Sachs lawyer?
	She just stepped down yesterday.
	They're all connected.
	The banks, the presidents, the billionaires, the millionaires, Bernie Sanders, they're all of them.
	All of them.
	And the light is coming out.
	This disgusting darkness.
	God is shining a light, and I don't think it's going to go away, Pat.
	I think it's going to go.
	It's going to keep going.
	These kind of things, everything has to be out.
	Go back and look at history books.
	I think it's going to go three years.
	Heck yeah.
	Look, 1972, 1973, Watergate, until all of the men had been tried, and Liddy was in prison.
	Coulson was in prison.
	Archibald Cox closed the books.
	All the tapes are out there.
	Books were published that transcribed the tapes.
	And then and only then was Watergate done.
	We knew about Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist.
	We knew about the break-in.
	We knew about the clumsy Cubans that broke in to the Watergate Hotel.
	We knew everything.
	It was all out there.
	It was over and done.
	And then Gerald Ford lost the election and Jimmy Carter's chapter began.
	But it took three years and that was just Watergate Pat.
	But everything had to get out.
	Right.
	But Tom, Trump knows this.
	Trump has to know this.
	Like, you know, you'll test to make a story go away.
	It hasn't gone away.
	What are you doing now?
	What are you doing now?
	3 million more.
	The news media, everybody interested is saying the other 3 million docs.
	Right.
	And this story here, they announced top Goldman Sachs lawyer, Kathy Romler, to resign over Epstein Links.
	What they forget to tell you is this was Obama's main lawyer when Obama was president.
	She was the main counsel.
	So the way they wrote the title makes you seem like they're taking a shot at who?
	At David Solomon.
	And they're taking a shot at Goldman.
	By the way, Rob, can you copy-paste her name and just go ask, who is she?
	Okay.
	Or go to her profile, LinkedIn, whatever you want to go to.
	There you go.
	Go a little bit lower, if you could.
	Zoom in.
	Zoom in, Rob.
	Whoops.
	So there you go.
	She was White House counsel to President Obama.
	But no, they put Goldman Sachs.
	What do you think is bigger?
	White House, what storyline is a bigger storyline?
	White House counsel to President Barack Obama fired due to ties to Epstein.
	And Rob, what came out in the Epstein files about her and Epstein?
	I mean, the way they were speaking was very mushy-mushy, like the relationship is a little bit...
	She referred to him as Uncle Jeffrey.
	I have a newscast where they talk about the gifts that she received as well.
	If you'd like me to.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	We begin here at 11 with breaking news.
	There is new fallout amid the release of the Epstein files.
	The top lawyer at Goldman Sachs, Kathy Remler, is stepping down after emails showed that she had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
	Remler was also White House counsel to former President Barack Obama.
	Newly released documents show that she called Epstein Uncle Jeffrey and accepted luxury gifts from the disgraced financier.
	Her resignation takes effect June 30th.
	And in a statement, Remler said in part, my responsibility is to put Goldman Sachs' interest first.
	The company's CEO said, she will be missed.
	I accepted her resignation, and I respect her decision.
	If this had been a conservative, the first two words would have been Trump lawyer quits.
	Those would have been the first two words.
	For sure.
	But this is her current role right now, right?
	That's why they're.
	It doesn't matter, Adam.
	She got a high-end Hermes back for $93.50.
	She got multiple bottles of wine, boots, a watch, and other clothing items.
	In one email, she wrote she was totally tricked out.
	Jeffrey's boots, handbag and watch, a Hermes Apple watch band.
	She discussed which style she wanted in a 2018 email.
	And some reports suggest luxury coats and additional accessories like designer fur, trims, and other possible other gifts.
	There you go.
	I want to know why.
	Why was he so close to her that he felt he had to swag her up like that?
	Why?
	That's what I want to know.
	What was she doing for him?
	What work was she doing?
	He decided, man, I got to send swag.
	I just got to light up her lobby with her assistant dropping all this stuff in.
	So you're lacking, you know, are you discounting her ability to be a lawyer and practice law?
	No, no, no.
	I want to know what was she working on?
	What projects was she working on?
	Well, she exchanged 11,300 emails from 2014 to 2019 with Epstein.
	With Epstein.
	14 to 19?
	11,000?
	11,300.
	Was she working with Obama at the time?
	Kathy Obama was.
	14 she was.
	From 2014 to 2019.
	That's one direct message on 70% of the days.
	And then banking billionaire Ariane de Rothschild sent or received 5,500 emails while former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers exchanged 4,300 emails.
	So this is, I mean, Epstein was into the Obama administration at least, you know, 2013, 14 until he left office in January of 17.
	At least that.
	There's the overlap.
	We have the dates.
	Summers was his treasury guy?
	This is his lawyer?
	So here's what I think is going on because you asked about grading Pam Bondi and whether Trump is going to address this or now or kick the can down the road.
	Here's my opinion.
	I think Trump is going to kick the can down the road.
	By the way, he's not kicking the can down the road on anything else.
	Tariffs, border, Greenland, Gulf of America.
	Pick an issue.
	Trump's addressing it.
	But why isn't Trump addressing this?
	And why is this on Pam Bondi?
	Here's my opinion.
	It's kind of like the Cleveland Browns, systemically, horribly bad football team.
	They draft Shadore Sanders.
	He's an average to below average quarterback, and everyone's focusing on him.
	But nobody's focusing on the fact that for 25 years, they've been horrible.
	They haven't had a good quarterback in decades.
	They haven't a winning team basically ever.
	So Pam Bondi, who's been the Attorney General for a year, it's kind of like, what have you done for me lately?
	And Pepperon's like, come on, Pam, let's go.
	This is on you.
	It's like, hold on.
	Merrick Garland was the Attorney General for four years.
	What did he have to do with Epstein under Biden?
	Before Merrick Garland, there was Bill Barr.
	Bill Barr, and then you remember Jeff Sessions, and I don't recall.
	He had to recruit himself.
	What were they doing during all this?
	By the way, Bill Barr has been in Attorney General in politics so long, he was under the Trump administration and also under the Bush administration Attorney General.
	What does Bill Barr have to say about this?
	So you have a cast of characters between Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, who was under Obama.
	You have Alberto Gonzalez, Janet Reno under Clinton.
	This thing has been going on for decades, and they want to put everything on Pam Blondie, who's clearly sort of unequipped to handle all this.
	But the reality is, it's kind of like blaming Shador Sanders for why Cleveland Browns suck.
	Your organization.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
	And she's just the latest quarterback in a crappy team.
	Adam, that mental yoga, I got to back up on.
	You want me to?
	Nobody is putting it on Pam Bondi.
	We're looking at how she handled herself during a hearing.
	You said it, and you're talking to the whole scandal and the whole thing, and there's some weird, odd football metaphor in there.
	No one is putting the whole thing on football works.
	There's a quarterback, but they're talking, and he's running the team.
	Stop.
	He always interacts with the quarterback sucks.
	Stop.
	You're going to blame the quarterback.
	Stop, stop.
	But the entire team sucks.
	This is a tired friend.
	So you think this is a good idea.
	This is such a tired technique, Adam.
	I think people wish you'd knock it down.
	That's my point.
	Unbelievable.
	The administrations that have been in there over and over.
	Previously.
	Did Bill Barr?
	Did Bill Barr speak on this?
	Did Eric Holder speak on this?
	That's a very good point.
	Did Merrick Garland speak on this?
	These are the people who have been with the files for years and for decades.
	And you want to put it on Pam Blondie?
	By the way, so if you want to play this clip, Rob, because this is a very valid argument to debate, play this clip.
	Did you ask Merrick Garland that the last four years?
	Did you talk about Epstein?
	I am reclaiming my time.
	I'm glad you're asking about Merrick Garland.
	I'm not going to reclaim Epstein.
	Because this is bigger than Watergate.
	This goes over four administrations.
	You don't have to go back to Biden.
	Let's go back to Obama.
	Let's go back to George Bush.
	This cover-up spans decades, and you are responsible for this portion of it.
	And that's where the business is.
	I want to know at what point.
	At what point did the FBI and the DOJ decide that Lex Wesner was not a co-conspirator?
	Because our Epstein Files Transparency Act requires you, please put it back on the screen, to release the internal decision about whether to prosecute him or not.
	And it's not in the files, and it's not in the files for any of these.
	I didn't even see this clip, but this is essentially what I'm saying.
	Is that why you played this?
	Yeah, no, no, I'm playing it for a different reason.
	I'm going to go.
	Adam, you make a fantastic point.
	Join it to tell me.
	No, no, hear me out.
	This is your, I understand 1,000% your point.
	Nobody talked about it.
	Nobody cared about it.
	The only problem about Pam Bondi, besides the connection of her and Florida and coming in after Epstein and being the AG here, hear me out.
	Don't make the promises.
	Don't come in front of the camera and say, we have this, we have 10,000 videos, and we're going to show you.
	Don't be Kash Patel.
	Hold on.
	Don't be Kash Patel and say this, and I'm going to do this on day one.
	This.
	Those other idiots didn't make the promises because they all kept their mouths shut.
	When you come out and say, I promise, I'm going to show you.
	I'm going to promise.
	And then we ask for it and you're blocking shit and you're covering up stuff.
	You're deleting this and you're hiding co-conspirators.
	That's the difference.
	You're right.
	None of them talked about it because they're all implicated.
	All of their donors, all their friends, all their people, all the judges, all the presidents, and everything.
	Don't make the promise.
	Keep your mouth shut.
	That's how you kick it down the kick the can down the street.
	That's the problem.
	She made the promise.
	Don't go to lunch in Washington, D.C. and shoot your mouth off to somebody and get overheard in a public restaurant.
	Would you put Bam Bondi in the top five best performing people that they've appointed or the bottom five?
	Bottom five.
	Closer to the bottom, bro.
	Okay, then guess what, guys?
	Respectfully, okay?
	There are certain jobs that everybody gets that's way over your head.
	Okay?
	It's happened to everybody.
	You have to find a way to do the same thing you did to Waltz.
	What was Michael Waltz?
	What was the guy's name?
	What was the guy that was signaling to Israel whatever he was doing?
	And he had a big job.
	Michael Waltz, Michael Waltz, right?
	We met him.
	Mike Waltz.
	Yeah, nice guy.
	But guess what?
	When that happened, what do they do?
	Hey, you go do UN.
	You go do, what was the job that he got?
	Yeah, United States Ambassador to UN.
	You go do that.
	You go over here.
	We didn't fire you.
	You save face.
	Take Bondi, move her off to a different job.
	I agree.
	I don't think this is Bondi's job.
	I agree 100%.
	I think then also the market will react in their own way, or Bondi can simply resign and step down and go and do her own thing.
	But I think this continuing this way.
	Trump, you know, we looked at some numbers.
	You know what Trump's turnover ratio was in his first administration?
	43% in the first year.
	People getting fired left and right.
	You know what it is today?
	28, 29.
	Trump's not firing people.
	He's not firing people.
	And he's got to sometimes.
	I think he's got to fire somebody.
	And this is not a good look because she made the promises.
	She said these are the things we're going to do.
	And she got caught with James O'Keefe.
	And James probably likes Pam and didn't want to drop it.
	And he sent it to them saying, we're about to drop this.
	Then Pam comes in front of camera and says what they have.
	And this is a true story.
	This is not like we're making stuff up.
	So for me, I think it's time.
	I think it's time.
	And I was hoping to see a different kind of a hearing.
	I don't think she performed well at all.
	I'll just go real quick.
	I think the reason he's not firing these people who are, quote unquote, performing badly, Pam Bondi, Christy Noam, Kash Patel, is because they're doing what Trump wants them to do.
	If they were stepping out of line, this is my opinion.
	This is my opinion.
	They were stepping out of line for what Trump wanted, they'd be gone in an instant.
	You're fired.
	What are the chances that Trump is having closed-door meetings with Pam Bondi, Kristen Noam?
	Of course, he is.
	And he's saying, Pam, I need you to do this.
	Step up, Christy.
	You're doing this.
	Put a little more makeup on.
	Cash, let's go.
	Get out there, buddy.
	He's a leader, and they're going to follow his lead.
	So if they're stepping out of line, that's when I think they'll get fired.
	If they're towing the company line and doing what Trump wants them to be doing, I think that's why they're safe.
	He keeps saying that Christy Noam is doing a good job.
	He keeps saying that Pam Bonnie's doing a good job.
	We see him very close with Lutnick.
	If they were stepping out of favor, they'd be gone.
	That's my opinion.
	You're guessing at best, and I'm not going to name names.
	Pat knows what I'm talking about.
	So what you're about to do is guess at best.
	Well, go ahead.
	No, no, no.
	Not at all.
	There are people that are there with the administration.
	I'm going to be the last one and we're moving on.
	Go ahead.
	There are people with the administration who are stacking up what they see every day.
	And not everybody is aligned with Trump.
	Some people are ahead of Trump.
	Some people are not ahead of Trump and they're on point.
	And Pat and I heard a list that went top to bottom that we're not going to repeat that was factual.
	I'm not guessing.
	Not all that cabinet is aligned and they're not gathering with a huddle and following the boss the way you just indicated.
	So let's just leave that there.
	Not everybody is there.
	He made if you, okay, we'll get elected president and then you can take care of it.
	But that's what's makes no sense.
	All right, let's go to the next story.
	Let's go to the next story, next story, next story.
	This is not going to go away, guys, just so we know.
	This is going to be around for a minute.
	Rob, let's go to Holly.
	Holly is sitting down with Rob.
	Can you tell the audience who Holly is sitting down with in this clip?
Not Everyone Is Aligneda 00:10:47
	You know which one I'm talking about.
	Yes.
	Minnesota.
	Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of Minnesota.
	Okay, Keith Ellison, the Minnesota Attorney General.
	Watch this.
	It is uncomfortable if you've not seen the whole clip.
	Which clip is this, Rob?
	This is where they talk about being a pal and then telling people.
	Okay, good.
	This is good.
	But then I want to go to the other one.
	But this is a good start.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	Whistleblowers came to you as early as 2019.
	Let's look.
	As early as 2019, whistleblowers.
	Don't talk over me.
	2019.
	It's my hearing, pal.
	As early as 2019.
	Don't call me prisoners.
	Whistleblowers came to.
	Well, I should call you a prisoner because you ought to be in jail.
	Well, we'll see what you can do.
	Pause it and go back.
	By the way, pause it and go back.
	Look what he says.
	The amount of audacity to react this way.
	Press play, Rob.
	Listen, folks.
	2019.
	It's my hearing, pal.
	As early as 2019.
	Listen, don't call me.
	Whistleblowers came to.
	Well, I should call you a prisoner because you ought to be in jail.
	Well, we'll see what you can do.
	We'll see what you can do.
	The audacity.
	We'll see what.
	By the way, who talks like that?
	Someone who knows they're untouchable.
	We'll see what you could do about that.
	Rob, is this the clip about the $10,000?
	I believe so.
	This was in your notes.
	Okay, perfect.
	That's the one.
	Have you seen this $10,000 clip?
	No.
	No.
	You've not seen this?
	I haven't.
	I saw.
	Do you know the whole conversation?
	So the whole conversation he's having with them is he met with these folks for 54 minutes.
	And afterwards, eight days later or so, guy gets $10,000.
	And Holly's calling him out on it.
	It's disturbing.
	Watch this.
	Go ahead.
	To help him.
	Are you going to let me answer?
	Please.
	We're all here.
	So, first of all, you're cherry-picking quotes out of there.
	Why did you help him?
	I thought you were going to let me answer.
	Why did you help me?
	Are you going to let me answer?
	Why did you help him?
	You let me answer and I'll answer you.
	Tell the truth and I'll let you answer.
	I will tell the truth.
	Good.
	That'd be a nice change.
	Now, see, Mr. Chairman, I didn't come here to be insulted.
	I came here vowing to be aware of it.
	You came here for the truth.
	Let's have it.
	Why did you help him?
	The quads are here.
	They're in black and white, and every member of this audience.
	Listen to the recording.
	It's 54 minutes long.
	It's all in public.
	You can Google it right now and listen.
	And listen to it.
	Why did you help them?
	First of all, I didn't help them.
	You did?
	No, I did not.
	I certainly didn't.
	You're saying you didn't do anything for them.
	You didn't.
	You didn't.
	Well, wait a minute.
	I already have my team working on this again.
	That's not you.
	I have my team.
	My team assisted with the information that led to the prosecution and conviction of these people.
	No, you didn't.
	You didn't lift your finger to prosecute them.
	No, you did not.
	No, because the finger comes in.
	Oh, BS.
	You had whistleblowers coming on you as early as 2019.
	You're the one talking BS.
	Hey, listen, it's my time.
	He doesn't know what you're talking about.
	Oh, you know, sir.
	You now have encountered the truth and you don't like it.
	Why'd you take your money?
	Why'd you take their money?
	I didn't.
	You took $10,000.
	That's a false statement.
	$10,000 nine days after the meeting.
	False statement.
	You took $10,000.
	Here's what happened.
	They went to your office.
	They solicited money from you.
	They solicited help from you.
	They came to your office.
	It was your official office.
	You met with them for 54 minutes.
	They asked you for help.
	You pledged it to them.
	And they talked repeatedly about money.
	In fact, it's all they talked about.
	That's a lot.
	Money, money, money, money.
	They said, we will put our dollars in the right place.
	We will support candidates that will fight to protect our interests.
	You replied, that's right.
	They said that you are securing your donor base and securing your power base.
	You can act the way you want.
	You replied, money is freedom.
	They said the amount of money circulated.
	I'm reading the transcript.
	The amount of money you're relating in our community today is powerful.
	And we haven't realized it in a meaningful way.
	And you said, give me the specifics.
	And nine days later, you took $10,000 from people who were then indicted.
	It's in your reports.
	Why are you doing all that?
	Was it worth it?
	He's talking about the money.
	You know what?
	This is a theatrical.
	$10,000.
	This is the truth.
	This is what accountability looks like, of which you've had none.
	You helped fraudsters defraud your state and this government of $9 billion, and you got a fat campaign contribution out of it.
	You ought to be indicted.
	That's true.
	Well, that's the truth.
	I think we've made the point.
	Let's keep the temporary for the record.
	Oh, I'll ask how I was.
	He's lying.
	And that's the truth.
	Oh, no.
	This is all on the record, sir.
	Did you bother to investigate where the money that you facilitated their fraud for, where it went?
	Why'd you help them?
	So for people to understand, this guy works with Tim Walz and Elon Omar.
	They're all on that same little crew with the major fraud.
	All the fraudsters were going to him saying, hey, hey, listen, we're doing this.
	And they're accusing him.
	No, here's what it is.
	What he's talking to them about.
	December 11, 2021.
	Holly's accusing Ellison of on that they met with individuals later charged in defeating our future fraud scheme.
	Yeah.
	A massive COVID-era nonprofit fraud scandal.
	Holly claimed Ellison took campaign contribution totaling $10,000 from those individuals or their associates shortly after the meeting saying the donations came nine days later.
	That's the exchange during COVID.
	To basically help them not get crazy sentences or look up for them.
	The question is that, and he might be right.
	Is it all theatrics?
	Because unless he gets legitimately investigated, and if that's true and he's taking those donations, he should be arrested.
	He should be put in jail.
	But it seems to me like people like Tim Walz, Elon Omar, they do whatever they want.
	They sit in front of the camera, they spit all this, all these threats and all this.
	You're Hitler, you're Nazi, and weaponizing people to go in front of ICE, and nothing happens to them.
	Nothing happens.
	There's zero accountability ever.
	Tom.
	Ever.
	This is what upsets America: they believe that there's two systems of justice, this one and that one.
	I get a speeding ticket.
	We all get speeding tickets.
	That's what they feel, and there's no way out.
	And then they feel that people that are robbing them blind, committing fraud and crimes of the highest order, high crimes and misdemeanors, they feel that people get off.
	And this guy is on a congressional hearing.
	A performance like that at the congressional hearing with all the stuff that Holly was talking about should be referred to the Department of Justice for a formal investigation, grand jury behind closed doors, and indictments, if this is what's happened.
	But this is not what happens because things are so corrupt, Pat, they can't get the grand jury together.
	They can't get the indictment brought down.
	These things should be happening.
	People should be in prison, Vinny.
	But he is sitting there.
	Look at the amount of hubris and the cockiness.
	This guy's sitting there.
	And he is the first Muslim elected to Congress and was the first African-American representative.
	So he is there also protecting a tribe of like-minded individuals.
	And they're all protected.
	Look at the cockiness, even with backing off that Governor Walsh still has.
	Look at that.
	That disgusts me, Pat.
	This should be referred to the Department of Justice and indictments should be brought down, but they don't happen.
	And this is where American people say nothing's going to happen and there's two systems of justice.
	And the American people sit at 17% confidence in all of it.
	Yeah, by the way, I found the recording, just so you guys know.
	The 54-minute and there's a short eclipse.
	I found a recording.
	I found a bunch of them.
	You know, on what he's saying on tapes.
	Rob, I just send it to you.
	Do you have it?
	Yes.
	Play one of them.
	Let's see what he's saying here.
	I'm very concerned about it.
	I don't run the agencies.
	But let me just finish by saying, but often the agencies call on my lawyers to represent them.
	And so it's good that we're talking because we've been in a series of conversations with Jody Harpstead as late as a week ago on how you cannot crunch down on these.
	Because here's the thing: as big as you are collectively, most are pretty small.
	And you're making, you're running small, tiny businesses out of business overnight.
	And a lot of times.
	I just send it to you composite right here.
	Can you listen to the four I send the entire 54 minutes there, but don't listen to the 54.
	In the four clips, see which one says the $10,000.
	Adam, your thoughts on this.
	So here's my deal.
	Number one, Josh Hawley.
	By the way, just to feed the future.
	This is the $250 million scandal that they got caught on.
	Yes.
	And then that's a part of the $9 billion.
	But Hawley here specifically is targeting the $250 million and then saying you got $10,000 of contributions.
	Yeah, so here's what I think about this guy, Keith Ellison.
	Well, first, let's address the elephant in the room.
	Josh Hawley's a rock star.
	Whatever this guy wants to do politically, I think he's based in Missouri, I want to say.
	Correct.
	Wow, wow, we, wow, wow.
	This guy just made born for TV, good looking, sharp, informed, like all the good qualities.
	Let's see where this guy goes in his career.
	Number two, Keith Ellison.
	I'm so glad people are starting to learn this guy's name because people have probably heard it.
	You don't really know what this guy's about.
	This guy is where three major things meet: progressivism and ultra-far leftism meets with Islamism, meets with globalism.
	So if you want to understand why Minnesota is a complete piece of crap burning in the streets, look no further than this guy.
	Now, we got to give a shout out to Tim Walz.
	He gets a lot of the reviews.
	We got to give a shout out to Ilahan Omar and marrying her brother and getting Somalians to continually vote for the Democratic Party.
	And we got to give a shout out to Jacob Frey for continuing to pander the Somalian community.
	We get it.
	They're all complicit, in my opinion, in the waste, fraud, and abuse, and specifically fraud.
	But Keith Ellison is the attorney general.
	Is that his job?
	AG.
	So if we're going to, you know, heavy is the head that wears the crown, if we're going to put everything on Pam Bondi, who's been there for one year, how about putting it on Keith Ellison, who's been a congressperson, congressman, and attorney general for decades in Minnesota.
	So tip of the spear goes no further than Keith Ellison.
	And you're right.
	He was the first Muslim, Tom, I believe, that was elected to Congress, swore on the Quran.
	Where do you think Mamdani got it from?
	And then he was also the person that I want to say was in charge of the Derek Chauvin George Floyd thing.
	So if you want to thank anybody for making George Floyd the martyr on the left, look no further than Keith Ellison.
	This dude seems to me very corrupt.
	And I'm very glad that Josh Hawley is calling him out.
	All right.
	Let's go to the next story.
	Next story I want to get to is, let me see, what do we got here?
Foreclosures Spike: Homeowners Struggle 00:05:38
	Foreclosures, bloodbath deepens as banks seize 40,000 homes in just one month, and the pain is only beginning.
	40,000 in one month.
	Let's see what Tom's got to say about this.
	With the number of Americans losing their homes to banks rising for an 11th straight month, it's clear the housing crisis is getting worse rather than better.
	U.S. foreclosure activity jumped again in January 2026 with a total of 40,534.
	Properties facing foreclosure filings, a 32% increase from the same time last year.
	Foreclosure filing cover every stage of the process from the moment a lender issued a legal warning to the point a home is formally seized after missed mortgage payments.
	While the total was slightly lower than December, January still marked the 11th straight month, a rising year-over-year foreclosure activity.
	A clear sign the pressure is building, not easing.
	He said foreclosure starts.
	Foreclosure rising across the board said Rob Barber, CEO of Adam, he said foreclosure starts when lenders formally begin the process of taking back a home are up 26%, while completed repos have surged nearly 59%.
	Tom.
	So I've been talking about this year that this K-shaped economy we're in and what's happening with the consumer.
	When I talk about 1.26, we're almost at 1.3 trillion of credit card debt.
	That is stress on the consumer.
	That means they can't pay for other things.
	And when core things have not come back down, remember, inflation rate is now moderated.
	It's not rising anymore, but the prices from yesteryear are still very high in baskets of goods for the consumer.
	And so now the consumer is coming to the point, especially those, remember, this is repossessions of homes.
	This isn't renters.
	These are homeowners, homeowners that can no longer pay the mortgage.
	And you look year over year, the foreclosures are up.
	Foreclosure is like the final late notice.
	Vinny, you're 30 days late.
	You're 60 days late.
	You're 90 days late.
	Vinny, we're officially in foreclosure.
	We're foreclosing.
	In other words, we're going to shut down your mortgage.
	Then what happens to repossession?
	The repossession is up almost 60%.
	This is a sign of deep stress in the lowest, in the lower half.
	And if you dive into these numbers, Pat, it's actually happening to the lower half of the middle class.
	And the lower half of the middle class are the wage earners that have less savings and less margin for error, less ability to get through a stress.
	And that's what's happening right now.
	You've got the lower half, Pat, is under deep stress.
	And remember, these are trailing stats.
	It takes in some states almost six months to complete a repo.
	So that means, Pat, these consumers have been under the stress for six months from miss one, miss two, miss three, foreclosure, and then repo.
	The stress is building.
	Any fixing it, Tommy?
	Like, what can conclusions?
	Patterns I want to see is what areas this is impacting.
	Is it because whenever you get numbers like this, you want to make sure you see where it is.
	Okay, so I just looked it up right now.
	Top 10 areas most affected by foreclosures, okay?
	Worst state is Delaware, 1,612 units.
	Second, by the way, who the hell would have thought Delaware?
	What is Delaware's population?
	If it's 1,612 units and it's Delaware's population is what?
	Where is Delaware in population period?
	One million is.
	So what is the state with the least amount of population?
	What is the state with the least amount of people in the country?
	I thought it was North Dakota.
	Somewhere in freezing.
	Can you ask it?
	Northern with least amount of population.
	Where it is, it's cold.
	Montana.
	But the point is.
	Wyoming.
	Been there, live there.
	Go back, go back to see who else is after Wyoming, Rob.
	Go a little bit lower, show more.
	Who's after Wyoming?
	Vermont and Alaska.
	Vermont.
	Okay.
	Well, Delaware has to be cold and north.
	Nobody wants to be there.
	But to be number one and you're one of the smallest states, that means this is Delaware.
	Then you got Nevada.
	Delaware was one per 1,612 units.
	Nevada is one per 1,983 units.
	Florida is one per 2,000.
	Then it goes to South Carolina.
	Then it goes Maryland.
	And then, you know, these are the ones that are most affected.
	Metro area, like if we go specific metro, not state, Trenton, Jersey is number one.
	Punta, Gorda, is Florida is number two.
	That's Jacksonville.
	Fayette, how do you pronounce it?
	Fayetteville.
	Fayetteville, North Carolina is number three.
	Then you got Lakeland, Florida, Vallejo, California.
	Areas least affected, okay?
	Dakota, Montana, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Kansas, Vermont's all the way at the top, very low foreclosures.
	West Virginia, Alaska, Rhode Island, Nebraska.
	So what this means is places that are being affected are, you know, we're learning some of the states that are being affected by this.
	When California went through the whole NAGAM thing, remember what city and area everybody was talking about in California?
	San Bernardino, where they built the excess homes and all the NENA loans.
	Right.
	Riverside, 64% of homes were in foreclosure.
	Vinny, you would drive in Riverside and all you would see is boards and houses.
	It was insane what happened.
	Look like a desert.
	But we'll see what happened with this as it gets more focused on certain areas.
VIX Predictions: 50,000 by 2026 00:10:21
	I'm going to go?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, look, you know where I stand on owning a home.
	But if you're going to do it, be ready to stay in your home because 100% of foreclosures happen to people with mortgages.
	You know, you stop paying your rent, they kick you out, you're out of there.
	So if you stop paying your mortgage, the bank will basically start the legal process to take their house back, and then they're going to sell it to get money.
	And usually takes six to 12 months.
	So if you're not ready to buy a home, this is what I always say.
	People think I'm against homeownership because I say to rent, only do it if you're fully ready to commit to this.
	Because the last thing you want to do is get fed a bunch of lies.
	You got to own a home.
	You got to own a home.
	If you're renting, you're throwing away money.
	And then you get a home and then you're in it for two years and then the bank gets it back.
	So this is why, tell me if you've ever heard this before.
	You're not really a homeowner.
	You're a mortgage holder.
	The catch is you can become a homeowner if you position yourself correctly, save that money and invest the money correctly.
	But a lot of people own a home or buy a home before they're ready.
	And unfortunately, if you want to follow data, the bank just seized 40,000 homes this month and the pain is only beginning.
	So be careful out there if you're a homeowner and make sure to pay your mortgage or it's going to be gone.
	Yeah, I would say when you're buying a property, we had this conversation yesterday.
	One of my guys that wants to buy a house, I said, after you pay the down payment, do you have 12 months of expenses saved?
	No, don't do it.
	Very simple.
	If you don't have it, you buy a property, you think you have nothing else to fix?
	You don't think about the expenses that you're not thinking about.
	Buying a house comes with additional expenses as well.
	You got to be ready for it.
	Let me get to this next part here.
	Wall Street roars, hire after blockbuster jobs report.
	This is three days old, Rob.
	Two days old.
	So I'm going to read it, and then we can go to yesterday.
	Stocks on Wall Street search after new figures showed the economy at 130,000 jobs.
	Economists had expected Labor Department to report job growth at around $75,000.
	Only a modest improvement of December's week, $50,000.
	January's unemployment came in at 4.3.
	They were expecting 4.4%.
	They were at 4.4.
	They dropped.
	Tom, when you look at this, Wall Street roars.
	Then yesterday, Rob, if you can go on the market yesterday, how it performed.
	This was the market yesterday.
	Yesterday, the market lost $700 billion.
	Okay?
	You don't see green.
	Everything was red.
	Apple down 5%.
	Amazon down 2%.
	Tesla 2.5%.
	You know, Meta 2.3.
	JP Morgan Chase 2.6, 2.7.
	Visa down a point.
	MasterGuard down a point.
	Everybody was down a point.
	Cisco was down 11.8.
	Tom, what happened yesterday?
	And what do you think is going to happen moving forward with the market?
	Yeah.
	Hey, Rob, will you pull up VIX one year?
	VIX one year, a chart on that.
	So yesterday, there was three things that came together and created a storm in the afternoon.
	The first was there was a lot of AI spooking on layoffs.
	Second, there was poor guidance by some of the big techs.
	And then third, everybody thought the CPI that was coming out today, Pat, was going to be higher, proving that starting last April, all the tariffs by Trump created a problem.
	Well, guess what?
	The CPI, CPI consumer price index came out today three-tenths lower than people thought it was going to come.
	Came out at 2.4.
	People were saying it's going to be 2.7, going to be 2.7.
	Consensus was really about 2.5, but it was actually now down 0.3 from the same time a year ago.
	So what that means is everyone that said, oh, gloom and doom on the tariffs, you know, this is going to create runaway inflation.
	The inflation now, Pat, a year later, is three tenths, consumer price index, excuse me, is three tenths lower than it was when Trump started the tariffs.
	So the one-year impact on tariffs as a boogeyman of inflation didn't come true.
	Today, the markets are back up a little bit, but let's also look at the VIX.
	So these are daily swings, big daily swings that are happening.
	Look at the VIX, Pat.
	One year.
	The VIX is holding around 21, which means that Americans are kind of neutral.
	The risk is look what happened last April.
	See when the VIX shot up on what did they call that Liberation Day, April 1st for tariffs?
	Look at what the VIX did.
	It went up over 50.
	Over 50 means that the market was incredibly nervous and scared.
	But see that?
	See how low the line is?
	That means even though we've had these market shifts up a bit, down a bit, up a bit, down a bit, overall the VIX has been under 21, except for a couple pops.
	And so that is what I look at, Pat.
	The mood of the wider market as measured by a technical like the VIX.
	It's a nervous time, but guess what?
	If you take a look at the least impacted was the SP and the SP over a long term, what do they say?
	Always a bad time to sell it.
	There's never a bad time to buy it over the extent of history for the SP 500.
	I want to play this clip for you.
	So October 17th, 2022, we're doing a podcast.
	Is this a psychic that you were talking about earlier?
	Psychic.
	Joe Biden's the president.
	Dow Jones on this day was at 30,000.
	Everyone's worried who's going to be the president next.
	Doom and gloom.
	You know, Trump is out.
	This is when they were hating on Trump.
	He's the worst.
	He's this.
	It's all his fault.
	And I made this prediction on the podcast.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	What happens today after election, everybody on the market's going to say the single biggest uptick in the history of the stock market, a single date is going to be set the day after election in 2024.
	Mark my words.
	Wow.
	And Dow's going to go to 50,000 in 2024, 2025.
	2022.
	50,000.
	Dow will go to 20, that will go to 50,000 in 2025, 2026.
	Remember when I said this to you?
	I'm wrong.
	And there's an 80, 90% chance I'm going to be wrong.
	But I'm telling you that when my opinion, I'm not telling you to do this.
	Talk to your experts.
	Talk to your accountant.
	Talk to your advisors.
	I'm banking on Dow's going to be 50,000, 2025, 2026.
	Wow.
	But it's going to be a shit show in 2022, 2023.
	What happens to me?
	Great, great.
	If anybody wants any predictions, anybody wants any psychic readings, it'll pass.
	By the way, can I give you the reason I think you would know this?
	Because you believe in America and you believe in the free markets and you believe in capitalism and you believe that even if Trump is president or Biden is president or Obama or whoever the next president is, you can still make money.
	You know, people come to ask me, dude, I don't, I'm going to Minect a lot of, reach me on Minect if you have questions.
	Man, I don't understand markets.
	I don't know what to do.
	I don't do.
	Well, if you're a day trader, you're going to go insane because the markets go up every single day, red, green, red, green.
	We don't know.
	But over a decade, you're going to make money.
	Do you remember when COVID happened?
	Everyone thought the sky was falling?
	Six months later, all-time highs.
	Yeah.
	I remember when we were in the lovely city of Addison and I was in the room where I used to shoot all the content there.
	Breaking news, the Dow just hit 30,000 after almost tumbling to closer to 15 or 18,000.
	But it's not timing the market, it's timing the market.
	So as much as you are a great prognosticator and predictor, the reality is you have data to show you that you should bet on America and you're not going to lose.
	Yeah, you know what it is?
	Equities.
	If you're in cash, listen, have cash.
	Always have cash because like right now, market dropped.
	You know, my guy and I are talking.
	I'm like, how much more do you think it's going to drop?
	Is there going to be more discounted?
	But regardless, we're all going equities, Long term.
	Why?
	I'm going to ask you a question on that.
	Why?
	Why?
	Because look, the thing about right now where they're saying the dollar is going to get weaker.
	That's the topic, right?
	Where the dollar is going to get weaker.
	The dollar is going to get weaker.
	Okay, great.
	So let's just say you know for a fact the dollar is going to get weaker.
	Where should you put your money?
	Gold, silver.
	Where else, Tom?
	If we know for a fact, let's just say the next three years dollar is going to get so weak, where would you put your money?
	Equities.
	Equities.
	Anywhere equities.
	And equities are just another word for stock.
	Yeah.
	Stock market.
	Go equities.
	Bet on the entrepreneurs.
	If it's going to go, you know, it's going to be equities.
	If you're sitting on the sidelines, you know, for me, a year ago, a year and a half ago, I called my guy.
	I said, hey, he says, what's up?
	I said, I want to find out what are the top five biggest startups or companies that are, you know, valuation.
	I gave him the range of where they're at that they specialize in nuclear energy.
	Who are they?
	So I got into the call with Goldman's Nuclear Energy Department.
	We had a call together and I got, you know, the names of the companies I like.
	I said, we're going to go nuclear.
	Do you know the last 12 months, the best performing stocks I've had?
	It's nuclear.
	Really?
	What do you think?
	Again, guys, don't take my advice.
	I'm telling you what I'm doing.
	You're not.
	I'm not telling you to go do it.
	I'm telling you what I'm doing.
	Don't go say, well, you told me this.
	One guy sends me a message, say, I put money in Palantir.
	You were right.
	$100,000 turned into, I don't know what the number he said, million, two million.
	I'm like, shit.
	Congratulations, right?
	We'll take 10%.
	But what I'm saying is, why?
	Like, go and look at the nuclear side.
	Why?
	I don't know if I know for a fact that's going to happen or not.
	Guess what is a big problem amongst all of these AI companies?
	What do you think they need?
	Energy and power.
	And we can no longer get it the way we're doing it.
	So now the biggest thing that the government has to do and these companies have to do, they have to get people to get more comfortable with what?
	The word nuclear, the word nuclear, and they've not done a good job, but they'll figure that out in the next three, five, ten years.
	And then all of a sudden, you're going to look at such and such company is officially valued at $1.3 trillion.
	It was only worth $2.8 billion.
	Now it's worth $1.3 trillion.
	Wait, did you just say it 400x?
Water Usage Stats Highlight Super Bowl Impact 00:13:20
	Yes, at 400X.
	Damn.
	So if a person put a million dollars in, it's not 400 million.
	Yes.
	Holy shit.
	That's how this works out, right?
	So to me, long-term equities, short-term, there's going to be some of this bumpy ride that you're going to go through.
	You know, this is not an advice I would give to somebody that's in their 70s.
	This is not an advice to 70s or even 60s, unless if you're 60s and you have the body of a 47-year-old and you're a white Canadian guy who lives in Florida.
	Your name is Tom Ellsworth, and you're so sexy that you can't live in Miami.
	God forbid if Tom walks in Miami, folks.
	Remember that girl?
	It is out of, let me tell you, I don't want to embarrass Tom.
	Can we do this?
	Is this okay?
	Guys, me, Vinny, and Tom, and Adam are walking in Miami.
	I mean, people think like Adam's the girls, you know, there's levels to this game.
	Adam, girls see him.
	They like him.
	They're attracted to him.
	But God forbid when women see Tom, when they see Tom, his windshield car is filled with Victoria's secret lingerie thrown at his car.
	Remember, we almost cracked.
	And I'm like, listen, you know what?
	I went and whispered to his wife.
	I said, listen, you guys can never live in Miami.
	That's true.
	If there's a city you guys can't live in, you're better moving to Stewart.
	Yes.
	You're better moving to Jacksonville.
	You're better moving to some of these small cities, you know, north of Jupiter.
	But God forbid if Tom moves to Miami.
	Oh, my God.
	Too much.
	Husbands.
	Go.
	I've seen it with my own eyes, Pat.
	Yes.
	People think that Tom and I don't hang out because there's an issue.
	I don't need him stepping on my turf, taking all my ladyfriends.
	But when you pull up somebody, stay away, Tom, scroll your keys and say no.
	Too much.
	You know what?
	There's this guy they call Bad Bunny.
	Tom's a crazy bunny.
	Let me tell you.
	The ladies call him Crazy Bunny.
	But anyways.
	But they don't call him funny.
	They call him the bunny.
	Okay, okay, okay.
	Now, Tom.
	By the way, Adam, I wouldn't mess with any of your lady friends, Adam, at least until the antibiotics kick in.
	So it's the God's.
	Thank you.
	Like I said, not funny, gentlemen.
	That's it.
	The dad jokes are doing so well to change Tom's algorithm on Manecti's kidding.
	And then he gave the antibiotic joke.
	Go back to Boomers Manectinum.
	No, it's not.
	Let me go back to the next story.
	All right.
	So, Super Bowl stories came in.
	Check this out.
	Tom, I'm probably going to come to you with this one here for Super Bowl numbers.
	Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show leads to massive decline in viewership.
	New report comes in.
	I don't know what this new report is, but Rob, let's go to it anyways on what the numbers are because I pulled it up this morning.
	Do you have it, Rob?
	Is this where it shows the numbers or do you have it?
	Okay, boom.
	So per tracking.
	Okay, so Zumanola delivered another massive night television and the data.
	Our latest viewership inside reveals 48.6 million U.S. households tuned into the Super Bowl, representing a 13% decrease from last year's game.
	Is that real, Rob?
	This according to Outkeck, which I believe is by Fox News.
	26.5 million U.S. households watched.
	Can you press watch more just to see show more Rob on the bottom so I can read the rest of it?
	No, no, Rob, go up.
	Right there where it says show more.
	Rob, on the tweet, it says show more rap.
	Yeah.
	Please don't yell at my friend Rob.
	I mean, he's not trying the best he can.
	Rob, 99.9% of the time, he's flawless.
	So, all right, let me get to this.
	NFL's decision to book bad money for Super Bowl halftime show was almost immediately controversial.
	I just want the numbers.
	There were several ratings now available at Super Bowl with one source, Samba TV perpetrating to measure the numbers of households per they're tracking 48.6 million households, which represents a 13% decline.
	According to their estimates, 26.5 million households watched the halftime show whopping 39% decline from Kendrick Lamar's halftime show.
	What are these estimates, Rob?
	Because when I go, if you ask on ChatGPT, okay, go to ChatGPT, Rob, and type in top five most viewed halftime shows of all time.
	What comes up?
	Top five most viewed halftime shows of all time.
	What comes up?
	Number one is, oh, really?
	Katie Perry, number one, $121 million.
	$121 million, number two.
	No, no, that's not the right math.
	Then why would they put Katy Perry up top?
	That doesn't make any sense.
	I have Kendrick Lamar number one, 133.5 million viewers.
	Sounds right.
	Michael Jackson, I have number two, 133.4.
	20 years over 20 years ago with smaller audiences.
	Tom, 33 years ago.
	Holy yeah.
	1993.
	Think about the population of 1993, 33 years ago.
	And he almost beat Lamar by 100,000.
	Then you have Usher, 129.3.
	Then you have Rihanna, 121.
	What was trying to see where was Bad Bunny's?
	Where was Bad Bunny's numbers?
	For halftime.
	Do you have it, Rob?
	What it says, Bad Bunny?
	See?
	So I've seen so many different reports with what they're showing with Bad Bunny's reports.
	128.2 is where I see.
	And Jake, where does that rank?
	It says like fourth or fifth.
	Fourth or fifth.
	Okay, so he, so does it surprise you that we dropped from Lamar to Bad Bunny?
	Are you not surprised?
	Is Lamar bigger than Bad Bunny?
	Yeah.
	I'm actually very surprised that Kendrick Lamar beat Bad Bunny.
	Well, Kendrick Lamar won, who played in the Super Bowl last year?
	Was it a big Super Bowl?
	Yeah.
	Who was it?
	Well, last year was who the hell?
	Chief Siegel is a big Super Bowl.
	Chief Ziegler, exactly.
	Philly beat Philly one last year.
	City bad.
	And then I have another report, Rob.
	Jaylin Hurts.
	If you want to pull it, this is a very interesting stat that Humberto sends us because Humberto likes to track people that go to the bathroom a lot.
	He does it here all the time.
	But he tracks it for people for Super Bowl.
	Rob, if you see that story or not.
	Yep, I got it.
	This story here from Newsweek shows.
	Do you see it?
	There you go.
	Water use stats in major U.S. city show impact of Super Bowl halftime show.
	Go a little bit lower.
	The Nouveau Y'all singer boasts a massive following with 53.2 million Instagram followers.
	I want to know what the numbers are for the bathroom, Rob.
	There it is.
	So New York City saw a significant reduction in water usage five Super Bowl Bad Bunnies halftime yesterday and 50 minutes after the show.
	761,000 toilets flushing across town.
	So what they're doing is they're track.
	I just got it.
	So people who are watching the show in different cities, they track how many people walked away from the TV to go flush the toilet.
	So he just broke the record right there.
	Early reports suggest that Bad Bunny broke a record of 135.4 million viewers that stepped away to flush the toilet versus Kendrick Lamar.
	What a stupid step.
	Yeah, it's so stupid.
	133.3, making it the most wise around that show of all time.
	The NFL has yet to confirm.
	No, no, that's a different number.
	Anyways, we got to get to the bottom of the story because I peed.
	I mean, don't you remember?
	I left and I came back.
	But that doesn't, you always pee.
	I know I pee.
	Sound like it's a big thing here.
	Anyways, we still don't know what happened there, but it was number four, number five.
	All-time Super Bowl.
	Vinny, is there anything you want to say about it?
	Voice.
	How am I doing?
	You want to play that voice?
	Is there any way Rob has two guys?
	And that's real, right?
	And it's 100% real.
	AI just takes away the can you do a cappella both of them or no?
	Can we, Rob?
	And one of them is, I don't think it's a problem because it's just the vocals.
	It's not the actual music.
	Rob, is the left Super Bowl or no?
	I'm pretty sure the left Super Bowl.
	I'm not sure where the left was.
	Oh, I know that there's one where he is a cappella at the Super Bowl.
	I have it.
	Okay, they take out the beat, but I'll let Rob yell.
	Let's wait for this.
	But if you guys want to talk, and I get it, it's a performance.
	He's walking around.
	He has to be mobile.
	Well, Michael Jackson on stage was still singing and not lip-syncing even back then.
	And I just want people to know this.
	His voice singing without the beat is the funniest thing I've heard.
	I just want to make sure because it's unfair if you do a guess what Pat?
	We could just.
	I have it.
	I have it, but go ahead, Rob.
	First, show bad bunnies and then we'll do Michael Jackson.
	Just show bad money.
	Let me tell you.
	There's no difference.
	He's got a.
	He's got an amazing Michael Jackson.
	Amazing.
	One of a kind.
	That was the king.
	Who's watching this right now?
	Who's ever been to a Michael Jackson concert?
	Comment below.
	Rob, can you run a poll who has been to a Michael Jackson concert?
	Yes, no.
	I just want to know how many people we have.
	I asked people here who's been to a Michael Jackson concert.
	Vinny said no.
	Adam said no.
	Of course.
	Tom.
	The rich man in the room says seven times.
	Tom L's worked.
	I've been to seven times.
	Seven.
	Michael Jackson.
	But we were children when he was still performing.
	Tom, Tom also went to a Beethoven concert.
	That was good.
	I give that.
	That's good.
	Tom also went to a Beethoven concert.
	So it's like, of course, he's been tomorrow.
	But can I?
	Listen, Pat, you said something last week that I just want to echo.
	When did we stop being proud of our heritage?
	Like, you defended Bad Bunny almost, not so much what he stands for, his ideology, but for his love of where he's from.
	Like, I'm not advocating that you should love Bad Bunny, but you definitely shouldn't hate Bad Bunny because he's Puerto Rican and speaks Spanish.
	By the way, fun fact, Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory.
	It's like getting mad at Andrea Pocelli performing because you, why is this guy singing in Italian?
	What the hell is this guy talking about?
	Yeah, because he's Italian.
	So, you know, it's very interesting.
	I was at Mar-a-Lago the other night, and it was the Hispanic.
	It was called Hispanic.
	No, it was not.
	It was Latino Wall Street.
	So it was all these successful.
	Yeah, there you go.
	It was all these successful Latinos, Hispanics.
	Shout out to Tony Delgado.
	Yeah, if you want to punch in on the shoes, you can see the futures look bright.
	I don't know why you're so focused on my belt area, Rob, but that's your panting.
	But it was so interesting to me because you have all these conservative Latinos, and the talk of the town was: so, what do you think about Bad Bunny?
	What do you think about Bad Bunny?
	The guy who's hosting it, Tony, is Puerto Rican.
	So, they're so conflicted because they love America, but they also are proud of their heritage.
	So, I think we need to stop crapping on people that are everyone had a flag.
	Everyone had a Colombian flag, a Venezuelan flag, Cuban flag, Brazilian flag.
	I had a American flag.
	With an L.
	No, no, there were some of those types too.
	I stayed away from them.
	You said three of the words that's not a very good thing.
	Flag, the flag, flag, flag.
	I don't want to get a red flag here.
	But the point is this.
	You know one thing they all had in common that maybe Bad Bunny doesn't?
	What's that?
	They all love America.
	They all fled these other countries.
	Socialism, totality.
	That's the only thing.
	That's what it comes down to.
	You know what it is.
	Man, you know, if you love America, I love America.
	You love America.
	I don't care where you're from.
	We're on the same page.
	That is the biggest problem.
	And by the way, again, we watch this stuff because this story of flushing toilets, when Humberto brought it up to me, I met a lot of people that track different kinds of data.
	You track how many drinks you sell.
	You track how many cigars you sell.
	You track how many merch you sell.
	You track how many client consulting things go with you.
	How many people attending?
	I've never met anybody more analytical than Humberto that tracks how many times you flush the toilet.
	Like end of the day, you'll say, you know, Vinny flushed the toilet seven times.
	Yeah.
	He always does.
	Who cares about this kind of stuff?
	Humberto does, and I respect it.
	So to me, Bad Bunny doing his thing with his performance, awesome.
	Just say you love America.
	At the end, he showed the ball that America, all this other stuff in the flag, great.
	Could have been bigger, great.
	It's not as bad as people perceived it to be that they're not.
	I thought it was going to be worse.
	No, no, no.
	I thought it was going to be worse.
	And I was straight up saying, hey, he came out and he did his thing.
	And by the way, shout out to Turning Point USA for turning that event in three months.
	They put that thing together.
	Let's go to somebody else that some people wonder whether he loves America or not.
Calci's Tweet Analysis 00:14:59
	And that's Mamdani.
	Mamdani here comes out, he meets with the Minneapolis mayor in New York City to discuss protecting immigrants.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Allegedly, that's the discussion.
	Rob, do you want to show this clip?
	We're looking to determine some of the next steps here.
	We want to make sure that what happened in Minneapolis does not happen in other cities and states throughout the country.
	We want to make sure that our immigrant neighbors are protected and mayors work together.
	You know, we're all operating in the reality business.
	And the reality is what just happened with Operation.
	He's well spoken.
	Say what you want to say.
	Institutional is not okay.
	Well spoken.
	It's anti-American.
	How do you prevent that?
	How do you prevent that?
	Well, a lot of what it is, is it's local governments working directly with their constituencies.
	I mean, what you saw out in Minneapolis is tens of thousands of people.
	They worked with the federal government.
	Did he say woke government?
	No, no, no, no.
	Constituency, local government.
	Oh, local governments.
	Okay, Adam, thoughts on this.
	The meeting between Mamdani and them.
	By the way, while this is going on, Mamdani also came out asking for an additional 2%.
	I don't know if you saw that.
	Wait, are you saying he's asking for more money?
	Additional.
	Additional.
	Vinny, what's wrong with that?
	He needs more money because he just came out, and I know you're probably not happy that he said he wasn't going to.
	Yeah.
	But now he wants to.
	Rob, is this the clip, Rob?
	This is where he's asked about the 2% increase for millionaires in New York City and whether or not they're going to raise property taxes as well.
	Go ahead, bunch of play the clip, Rob.
	Actually, I have two questions.
	First of all, I want to talk to you about the deaths that happened because of the cold.
	And we previously were able to get information from the NYPD.
	Now it's only coming from City Hall.
	I'm wondering why the why the policy changed.
	My second question has to do with the budget.
	I know that you want to have Albany pass these tax hikes on corporations and on the wealthy.
	But if they refuse to do it, given the fact that it's an election year, the governor said she doesn't want to do it.
	Well, you have no other choice but to raise the only tax you can raise, which is the property tax.
	So I am encouraged by the conversations we've been having, not only with the governor, but also with legislative leaders in Albany.
	And these are conversations about putting the city back on firm financial footing.
	When I was standing here in this room weeks ago, announcing the fact that our conclusions were coming to the same level of assessment at the very least as the previous city controller, the current city controller, and the current state controller, we also said that we would then be updating those assessments as we got more information about Wall Street bonuses, as we got more information about the economic forecast, and as we also took savings measures of our own.
	And so in that time since, as I shared yesterday in Albany, that $12 billion deficit is now one that we have been able to bring down to $7 billion.
	And that's in part because of the revenues, the Wall Street bonuses, also an aggressive savings plan and a use of in-year reserves.
	I am encouraged by the conversations we're having with Albany about.
	Vinny, go ahead.
	I know you like him a lot.
	I'm just wondering, all those people that I saw on all these podcasts and all these talking about, I'll pay the 1%.
	Okay, so now it's going to be 2%.
	What percent is it going to have to hit for people and the New Yorkers and the people with the, I got the money, I'll pay for it for them to start talking out and speaking out because the city looks like crap.
	The garbage is in the streets.
	He had a winter storm and over 13 to 15 homeless people died because he took out the order to have them shelter.
	Because he's like, no, leave them outside.
	There's still, I saw them chopping ice on the streets still two days ago, Pat.
	It looks like they're in Antarctica.
	Okay.
	He's not running it right.
	He's still asking for freaking money.
	He's speaking Arabic as if that's the language of freaking New York.
	And it's just, it's nothing.
	Tell me one thing that's positive that's happening.
	I'll wait.
	Anybody?
	Give me one positive thing coming out of New York.
	Go ahead.
	By the way, when he talks, believe what he's saying.
	Because he said savings.
	And they've limited, take a look at what was happening a week ago where there were pictures in multiple boroughs of the trash that was building up and that there were trash shifts that didn't happen because they were going to require overtime shifts.
	And you can see where they're cutting it.
	And they're cutting it.
	They're supposed to be serving the citizens, but they were cutting.
	Look at that picture.
	Look at that.
	Look at that picture.
	They wouldn't do the overtime because the trash pickup went slower, Pat, because of the icy streets.
	So they wouldn't give the overtime to the trash collection because they needed it because they wanted to save money.
	There's your savings, ladies and gentlemen.
	There's your savings.
	The rats are breeding under the warmth of that pile of trash.
	This is horrible.
	Tom, I'm just wondering, where are the New Yorkers?
	Oh, and some savings.
	We also got some savings.
	Yeah, he said it went from $12 billion to $7 billion.
	Yeah, because that's what the city looks like, you moron.
	Look at that.
	And I'm going to keep talking about this because Eric deserves credit.
	There was, I researched it.
	We saw him in Washington, D.C.
	He told us about the surplus.
	I did research.
	He did.
	He left a multi-billion dollar surplus that they, Eric Adams, that Mamdani is vaporized, and now he's looking for even more.
	This is a guy, Mandami.
	If Mamdani ran a funeral home, no one would die.
	I mean, this is basically what we have.
	Just incompetence of leadership.
	And now the solution is, I don't know how to run it.
	I don't know how to fix it.
	I don't know how to set the budget.
	So guess what?
	Let's just raise the tax.
	This is what you voted for.
	Get ready.
	Buckle up.
	Can you say his name one more time?
	What?
	Say his name one more time.
	The mayor.
	Mamdami.
	Mamdami.
	Mamdani.
	Dani.
	Mamdani.
	Like mamdami.
	Mamdami.
	Mama nam nami.
	Go ahead.
	Well, it's kind of like everyone's building out their team.
	Like, if you're drafting a team, you have the Mamdanis and you have the AOCs and you have the Jacob Frey's and you have the Ilhan Omars.
	That's their squad, literally.
	Like, that's them.
	You know, there used to be a time where you used to.
	Are you a communist?
	Keep it, keep it on the down low, bro.
	Don't tell anybody.
	We are proud democratic socialists.
	Stand with me and all our socialists unite.
	They're saying the quiet part out loud.
	You know, it's you might disagree with how Trump does things, but at this point, it's so clear.
	The guy loves America.
	He's America first.
	And whoever you want to put in the America First camp, whether that's JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, name the names.
	Put them on a, like, you know, you do a side-by-side tail of the tape.
	These guys believe in capitalism, biblical Judeo-Christian values, God-fearing community, family.
	These people are all woke leftists that are selling socialism and people are buying it.
	So, you know, you get what you pay for.
	And unfortunately, Minnesota bought and paid for this ridiculous mayor and Ilhan Omar.
	And New York just bought and is now paying the price for Zorhan Mamdani.
	And they're going to end up losing in the long run.
	Results.
	Results, results, results.
	Calci yesterday came out.
	I don't know if you guys saw this or not, Rob.
	If you want to go to Calci, go to my Twitter account on Calci tweeted something, which I, it's so interesting.
	Remember when we were talking about actually go to the one above it, Rob, first.
	Keep going one more up, one more up, one more up.
	There you go, right there.
	So Calchie just tweeted yesterday that California lost a trillion dollars in wealth due to billionaires leaving.
	This is in the last six weeks, Vinny.
	Oh my God.
	Okay.
	During COVID, they lost over a trillion dollars.
	This is the only state in America that on two separate occasions lost a trillion dollars of wealth leaving its state.
	Go a little bit lower, Rob, on the other Calci tweet that they had.
	Go a little go back on the tweet and go down.
	There you go.
	Watch this.
	Calci just tweeted.
	Mark Zuckerberg relocates to Florida from California, avoiding the new wealth tax.
	Newsom is doing a phenomenal job losing his job creators.
	Can you imagine that?
	Newsome is doing a great job losing job creators, but there's one person he hasn't lost, his wife in this hearing.
	In this, what do you call it?
	A press conference.
	Yes.
	What was it?
	$92 million?
	$90 million.
	Planned Parenthood.
	This is what you call an alpha wife.
	Very impressive.
	She stepped up.
	She crushed.
	By the way, she's very well spoken.
	I'm not even being sarcastic.
	She's actually well-spoken.
	Watch this here when she steps up at a Planned Parenthood.
	They're crushing it.
	So listen, if you're in California, you want to make money, ladies, come up with some pink jackets.
	People will buy it.
	Look at this picture right here.
	There's massive demand for pink jackets and pink sweaters.
	Rob, play this clip.
	He's pink.
	Here comes Yoko.
	We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population.
	And the majority of the questions, all of these questions, have really been about other issues.
	So it's just fascinating.
	You have this incredible women's caucus and all these allies, and you're not asking about it.
	And this happens over and over and over and over again.
	You wonder why we have such a horrific war on women in this country and that these guys are getting away with it because you don't seem to care.
	So I just offer that with love.
	Look at his face.
	Look at his face.
	Ask about what we're here for today.
	You think he's happy or annoyed?
	No.
	No way.
	He turned the color of everybody's shirt.
	You do not have to be an FBI profiler to see that he did not think he found that sexy.
	He didn't want Yoko going to the market.
	Tom, you cannot tell me he didn't find that sexy.
	Like, he didn't say, man, I'm so happy to be with an alpha that you don't think he found that sexy.
	No, no, that's not what he finds sexy.
	What he finds sexy is his friend's wife drunk on his doorstep and then bang her on the couch.
	He finds that very sexy.
	Wow.
	That's Tom Ellsworth, ladies and gentlemen.
	No, that's history.
	I'm quoting from history.
	That's true.
	Why is Gavin Newsom doing this with his wife right here?
	Because it works and it will continue to work.
	You know, more women in this country vote than men.
	And what is the one issue that the Democrats can say we do better than the Republicans?
	That's abortion.
	Killing the humpbies.
	That's their thing.
	Killing baby people.
	That's their thing.
	Innocent babies.
	You know, and I'm not saying that women shouldn't vote, but we may want to consider it at some point.
	Jeez.
	You know, I'm just saying, by the way, by the way, this guy's talking about doing things on a couch.
	I'm just saying, we're joking, guys.
	But here's the deal.
	Let me explain what I had to call him Manect because you talked about the wealth thing.
	This is a real life example.
	People want to talk about, you know, Zuckerberg and Bezos and the Google Boys.
	Yes, they're moving their companies, hundreds of billions of dollars moving.
	Here's a real life guy.
	Started a small business.
	Shout out to you, Ben.
	I had a call with him on Manect on Wednesday.
	He said, listen, man, I'm moving to Florida, and I wanted to reach out to you because I know that you're born and raised in Miami, South Florida.
	Tell me what you do.
	I go, disclaimer, I'm not a real person.
	I asked him to Manect you.
	Okay, perfect.
	Thank you.
	Last name starts with R.
	Yes, it is.
	Thank you.
	He told me that.
	So I had a half-hour call with him.
	I said, explain to me before I tell you about what's going on in Florida.
	Shout out to you, buddy.
	I said, explain to me why you're not staying in California.
	He goes, honestly, dude, there's zero incentive for me to stay.
	You know, you tell the story about when you got recruited by Governor Perry to Texas.
	Everything's recruitment.
	Come on down to Florida.
	This is where woke goes to die.
	Shout out to Mayor Suarez.
	Hey, how can I help?
	I said, what is Gavin Newsome or Karen Bass or anything?
	What are they doing to keep you in California?
	What are they doing to keep you in LA?
	He goes, dude, absolutely nothing.
	They're actually driving us away.
	So how many more stories like that exist?
	We hear the billionaires.
	This guy has seven to ten people in his corporate office, 100 employees, and he's moving to Florida.
	And he menected me after the call.
	He goes, thanks so much, man.
	Super helpful.
	Who says you need a realtor to relocate?
	So all good.
	But how many more types of those situations are going to come up?
	Guys, I'll say this again.
	Don't the future is in Florida.
	Come on down.
	Come on down to Miami.
	I do not want to bring all the leftists and all these people with their mentalities.
	No, no, no.
	Buddy, didn't you come from California?
	No, no, no.
	Didn't you come from California?
	Hold on, Adam.
	How many years ago?
	I'm saying right now, we're good.
	Stay there and make your state better.
	You sound like James Fishback.
	I'm from New York, lived in Connecticut, moved to California.
	This is here.
	What I'm saying is right now, we're good.
	Make your state better.
	It's easy.
	Hold on.
	Vote.
	Vote for the right people.
	The guy who moved here three years ago.
	We're good, guys.
	Four.
	Four.
	We're good, guys.
	Four years.
	You know what?
	Take it from the guy who's been here my whole life.
	If you want to take it.
	In three months, it'll be four years.
	Yeah, hold on.
	I've been here four years.
	In three months, or it's already four years?
	I think May was four years.
	Tell me three years before.
	No way yet.
	Okay, so May will be four years.
	Here's my thing.
	By the way, that's what's crazy.
	Yesterday, I'm sitting there Connor's telling me he's been here for three years.
	I said, there's no way he's been with me.
	I thought Connor was here like six weeks ago.
	Connor's been here three years.
	Go ahead.
	Exactly.
	So here's my thing.
	It's Ivan's first month, I want to say.
	Shout out to Ivan.
	First of all, five years later.
	First of all, I want everybody to talk.
	Going back to the video that we saw, she right now, her name is Jen Newsome.
	She's the first partner.
	That's what they call her when you're the first partner.
	She's the first person.
	Just know, guys.
	No, no, she's the first partner, Jennifer Siebel Newsome.
	I hope you guys understand.
	He's the frontrunner.
	Potential first lady.
	He's going to be the potential first lady moving her husband to the side.
	And he didn't want it.
	And he just stays there.
	Well, he wasn't laughing.
	He wasn't smiling.
	And she's running the show just like how Jill Biden was kind of running the show when, you know, walking zombies.
	You have other pictures of her, Rob?
	But here's my thing.
	Yeah, by the way, she has a history where she accused Harvey Weinstein of something assault in a hotel room.
	Long story short.
	Anyway, let me tell you something.
	Put that all the way to the side.
	Put that lady on the campaign trail.
	Oh.
	An attractive white woman.
	White liberal women are going to eat that up.
	Well, that's what I'm.
	Well, on top of add to the top of that, I want everybody to know what the context of what she did.
	By the way, you're in a war room, meaning there's reporters, there's females.
	The majority of them were females.
	Their job is to ask questions on everything.
	That's what the decorum is about.
	She didn't like it.
	And she basically comes out and what she was actually saying is, hey, shame on all of you reporters for talking to my husband about how failed of a state California is, how horrible of a governor my husband is, wasting $24 billion on homelessness.
	And it actually rose.
	Wasting billions of dollars on the rail system.
	Highest taxes on gas, highest taxes, trillion dollars of people leaving.
Voter ID Controversy 00:15:07
	We want to celebrate murdering innocent babies.
	Shame on you.
	If you're not talking about killing babies, shut up because that's what we're here to do.
	That's true.
	Period.
	That's what she was saying.
	And what, you know what?
	Well, we can bring this right abound back to Puerto Rico.
	In the last 48 hours, she looks like a first lady, though.
	She looks like she looks like a Democratic First Lady.
	You can both criticize policies and still say, this is the leading candidate of the first lady on the public side.
	Just so you know, get used to this, folks.
	Yep, go ahead, Tom.
	You know what?
	What's really interesting in this?
	That was at this, you know, this rally for abortion, which is horrible, horrible black genocide that they keep propagating.
	Glad to see that Gavin Newsom wants to be the flag carrier for that.
	I look at Puerto Rico, what happened in the last 48 hours, Pat.
	There was a legislator in Puerto Rico that pushed to get a motion through to declare that unborn babies are human beings and should be protected.
	And so we're talking about Puerto Rico today, talking about being a territory of the United States.
	We're talking about a lot of things.
	And I was really proud to see this, to see them standing up.
	And there it is.
	It says, Puerto Rico governor signs law recognizing unborn babies as human beings.
	God bless them.
	God bless you, Jennifer Gonzalez.
	Are you serious?
	Jennifer, watch.
	Everyone's now going to say, bring Bad Bunny next year.
	Exactly.
	All of a sudden, all of a sudden, dally, dally, Baboni, we like you now.
	We're going to go, Baboni, we're going to go.
	Hang on.
	Can I go back to that and say something serious?
	Bad Bunny saying only in Spanish, which is his brand, which he said he was going to do.
	But I think that was just a bad choice by the NFL to do it that way because you can celebrate the rich Hispanic heritage of so many Americans.
	We all come from somewhere in America.
	We all come from somewhere.
	My heritage on my dad's side is Canadian.
	And what's interesting about it is you can recognize our diversity and celebrate it.
	You know what we did?
	You know what Pat did?
	50% of the agents, a little over 50% of the agents at PHP, life insurance agents that have licenses and thriving, says have Hispanic heritage.
	And over 50% of them are women.
	And to celebrate the diversity and everything we have, you know, Pat used to bring entertainment and acts.
	And do you know what a great reception Nikki Jams got, also from Puerto Rico?
	It was tremendous.
	And so you can do this in such a way that you serve the broad audience and you serve everyone.
	What the NFL did, it just didn't work.
	But meanwhile, in Puerto Rico, you got a brave governor that is standing up and doing this, and I applaud her.
	Tom, casual question?
	Well, yeah, well, think about it.
	The tale of two gens.
	That's Jennifer here.
	The other one wants to kill her.
	Hey, that was a good one.
	Thank you.
	But here's my question.
	So if he's saying the law is unborn babies as human beings, does that mean abortion is murder?
	What is that saying?
	The implications are there that's clear.
	And it's also Planned Parenthood has funded historically certain lawsuits where there was a woman in a car accident that lost a six-month term baby.
	And the baby was killed as a result of injuries that suffered in the car accident.
	And Planned Parenthood and their allies ran to the front to prevent the DA from filing manslaughter charges against the drunk driver.
	Oh, wow.
	And so, you know, God forbid you declare that that unborn child, that baby, that human, that precious life would not be of any value.
	Wow.
	And they blocked it.
	This is the lobby.
	When it comes down to this, this is the lobby.
	Good.
	By the way, I am so impressed by this.
	I'm still flabbergasted by the story.
	Can we go to her profile, Rob?
	Can we go to Governor Jennifer Gonzalez?
	Go to her profile, zoom in.
	Okay, let's see.
	I was going to go to Jay Go and Puerto Rican Servant Governor 2020.
	She previously served 20 president of 2017.
	New Progressive Party in the Republican United States.
	She's held leadership positions, including being chair of Puerto Rico.
	She is the second elected third-serving female governor.
	Gonzalez was born in San Juan to the late Jorge Gonzalez and Niria Colón.
	She graduated from the University of Germany.
	Go a little bit lower, obtain JD from LLM from International University of Puerto Rico law, and she has been admitted to the bar of jurisdiction.
	Respect.
	Good for her.
	Good for you.
	Whoever you are, good for you.
	I was hoping there was family relation to Juan Gonzalez.
	But my favorite baseball player of all time, but it's George Gonzalez, which is still plenty.
	He almost beat Hack Wilson's record many, many years ago.
	He had 110 RBIs before All-Star Game, I believe, if I'm not mistaken.
	I would go watch this guy all the time.
	Legendary player.
	Favorite baseball player of all time.
	Wong Gong.
	Anyways, let me get to the next story.
	Wong Gong was the best.
	Shout out to Paris.
	So let's talk about this, okay?
	This whole thing with voter ID.
	Have you guys seen what Scott Jennings did with CNN on voter ID?
	How?
	Have you seen that clip?
	Okay, perfect.
	They were so cornered.
	Only one House Democrat voted in favor of voter ID proof of citizenship in U.S. elections.
	So people want real people voting.
	We want everybody to just be straight up about it.
	But one House Representative passed a massive election integrity bill on Wednesday despite opposition from the vast majority of Democrats.
	This is the SAVE Act that they're talking about.
	The Democrat, the House of Representatives, legislation that's aimed at keeping non-citizens from voting in the U.S. federal elections.
	But all but one House Democrat, Representative Henry Swellar, Democrat Texas voted against the bill that passed 218 to 213.
	It is an updated version of the safeguarding American voter eligibility, also led by Roy Representative Republican Texas, which passed the House April of 2025, but was never taken up to Senate.
	So what is this, Rob?
	This is the Democrats.
	Can you read that, Rob?
	I support the Save America Act because I believe in a fundamental principle.
	American citizens should decide American elections.
	That principle strengthens our democracy and protects the value of every vote.
	This is the same secure but practical approach Texas already uses.
	Strong photo ID standards with real fallback options.
	And it's a big reason Texas has some of the strongest election security laws in the country.
	I want to explain clearly what this bill does and does not do.
	If you are already registered to vote, the status of your existing registration remains unchanged.
	For those registering for the first time, the bill also reflects real life.
	People get married, people get divorced, and people change their names.
	Those moments should never create uncertainty about whether someone can vote.
	That's why this bill requires states to accommodate name changes and accept multiple commonly held forms of identification.
	And if a citizen does not have those documents readily available, the bill provides a way to affirm citizenship through an affidavit.
	This approach protects election integrity while treating eligible voters with fairness and respect.
	There you go.
	At the end of the day, election security and voter access go together.
	Who is this guy, Rob?
	Can we go to him?
	Let's recognize him.
	He's the Henry Color.
	Like a light-skinned black dude with glasses.
	Is that him?
	Henry Swell.
	Collar.
	Collar.
	And he's from where?
	He's from Texas.
	San Antonio, Latino.
	Rio Grande.
	Texas 28.
	Go to CNN's clip.
	We're good for you.
	Go to CNN's clip with Scott Jennings.
	Guys, you're going to hear one word 20 times in this clip.
	And that one word is how.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	Rights is he taking away from black voters.
	Oh, if we look at the save act, that's exactly what we're talking about.
	That is actually going to continue to disenfranchise overwhelmingly a lot of people of color.
	There are so many civil rights organizations that have run the data.
	If we look at the way that it is going to disenfranchise black voters, it's the same reason why Chuck Schumer caught in Jim Crow 2.0.
	This is the same president.
	If we want to continue to putting new poll taxes on this when you're making people have, that's what we can call them now.
	It's kind of an idiom, right?
	If you want to say that people have to prove that they are citizens, that they have to prove with a voter ID.
	The reality is you're layering what is a constitutional right for the American people and making it harder for people to vote in this country.
	And it's going to disenfranchise black voters.
	Concern you that you're making all these claims.
	You've yet to lay out how it's hurting anyone, but 76% of black voters think we should show an ID to vote.
	80% of Hispanic voters, 83% of the American people.
	Are you saying that black voters don't know what's good for them?
	What voting rights are taking away?
	Rob, if you can find that, because it's great, that clip.
	But Tom, I'll come to you first.
	Your thoughts on this.
	Well, first of all, none of those have read people have read the bill.
	And I'll summarize what just happened there.
	We have been working for five years to get illegal voters in here, and I'll be damned if you're going to pass legislation that screws me up.
	Exactly.
	That's basically.
	So let me just translate that, right?
	It's like what you have here, the SAVE Act, the narrative on the SAVE Act was disenfranchised this voter, disenfranchises voter.
	We even had a local congressman on, and we had a good spirited conversation, Pat.
	Did you think?
	I thought that was a pretty good podcast.
	Jared?
	We could go, yeah.
	Yeah, he was great.
	But even he stuck to the narrative, and we kind of pushed him on it a little bit.
	We said, hey, you're going to force these people to get an alternative form of identification.
	No, it's not.
	And God bless the congressman from San Antonio for spelling it out.
	These people, the bill came from the right.
	And so if it's coming from the right, it must be bad.
	And they have been, if anything, enfranchising illegal voters.
	No one's going to be disenfranchised.
	We want to enfranchise all legal citizens to vote.
	And both I'm in favor of that.
	I won't speak for Pat, but I know he's in favor of it.
	A national day off to vote.
	That Election Day is a like 4th of July where we celebrate the freedom to vote and everybody who's a citizen votes on that day.
	That's what we want.
	No one's trying to disenfranchise.
	This bill is trying to ensure that our elections are only all citizens who should be aggressively enfranchised to vote, even to the point I really think that if I was in Washington, I would be pushing for the last line of the bill, Pat, and establish the first Monday in November as a national holiday so that people can vote every evening.
	I am with it.
	I am with it.
	I'd love for that to happen.
	And just, well, Tom, I agree with you and I agree with you 1,000%.
	Just really quick, one thing that bothers me, we did a, what was the earlier poll on what, not poll, but what's CNN?
	They're dropping, they're lowering, they're hemorrhaging numbers.
	I love Scott Jennings and I love this because he's actually checking them, but I don't even want him to be on CNN.
	I don't want him there.
	I want him to leave so that they can.
	Pat, well, hear me out.
	So that they can disappear once and for all.
	Scott could be on his own network.
	Go to Fox, go to somewhere.
	I get the banter and I get what he's doing because he's checking them.
	He loves it.
	And I know he does because he checks them.
	But this, I think he's helping CNN, which I want them to just go away.
	Number one.
	Number two, to say that I think it's extremely racist to say minorities, they don't know how to get IDs.
	These people don't know how to get IDs.
	And here's my thing.
	If you don't know how to go get an identification, I don't even want you to vote.
	Who are you going to be voting for?
	You're going to be voting for the people that are telling you, hey, listen, you know what I mean?
	Just get in here.
	We don't give a damn.
	Get in here.
	And I think it's so obvious at this point what the tactic of the left has been.
	When we were sitting on this podcast, Pat, going crazy, going, the border's open.
	What the hell is going on?
	It's so obvious.
	And this is it.
	Anybody against the Save America Act, you are a part of the problem.
	Is that the rest of it, Rob?
	Yes, sir.
	Let me see it.
	By the way, it's first Tuesday in November.
	I got excited there.
	The Safe Act isn't just about it.
	That's pretty much that.
	That's three quarters of black voters.
	That's not voter IDs.
	That's fire.
	The SAFE Act is not about IDs.
	The Save Act is about citizenship.
	So what?
	I actually.
	But where is it, Rob?
	Did you go too much ahead?
	No, it's right here.
	The Save Act isn't just good for them.
	I mean, that's not fair.
	That's not three-quarters of black votes.
	That's not the one vote out of it.
	But that's fire.
	The safe act is not a good idea.
	Well, let me get to the next story.
	I'm going to come to you.
	CNN has lost nearly half of its audience and all its relevance in the past eight years, according to this story outkick.
	No network on television benefited from Trump's first presidency, then CNN.
	Although it remained distant third in cable network behind Fox and MSNBC, CNN openly negative coverage of the president kept the network relevant and viable.
	Okay?
	This is the story about what happened with CNN.
	And then that's the case.
	The second, that's not the case the second time around.
	A new analysis from Fox Digital shows that CNN has lost more than 40% of its day and prime time audience from 2017 to 2018.
	Here's what it looks like.
	Prime day, prime time 2015 was 711,000.
	Then they went to 1 million after Trump got elected.
	Damn.
	They're down to 573 and in total day went from 489 to 775 down to 432.
	Adam, why do you think this happened?
	Well, it's because they don't want to face reality.
	I mean, nobody wants to tune in to watch CNN and watch Scott Jennings just dismantle panels for a living.
	And if you're living with TDS and you think Trump is the devil and you think he's a Nazi and you think that he's a fascist and you're going to tune in and watch this guy run laps around these woke, useful idiots, you're not going to watch it anymore.
	You're going to go find a outlet or a newspaper or a TV station or a YouTube channel that's just going to basically pander to your belief system.
Nightclub ID Debate 00:03:40
	So the next thing is that I wanted to talk about the SAFE Act.
	So what we've seen constantly, constantly, is that Democrats just double down on the 20 on an 80-20 issue.
	People always ask me, dude, are you a Republican now?
	Are you still a Democrat?
	I go, I'm a registered independent, but if I belong to a party, I belong to the common sense party.
	And what happened was the Democrats left common sense years ago, the day that Trump got elected.
	And people tell me, dude, thank God you no longer have TDS.
	And I'll say, thank God I don't have it either.
	Because I see it every single day, how people are living with this crippling, debilitating disease called TDS.
	Remember the video where someone was like, Trump goes, listen, guys, want to help you.
	Don't take aspirin if you're pregnant.
	And then you have pregnant women being like, don't tell me what to do.
	It's so stupid out there.
	So the ID thing is an issue.
	Guys, 80% of America, blacks, Latinos, whites, even 90%, say, yeah, let's have an ID to vote.
	These are 80-20 issues that are layups for the Republican Party.
	But Democrats want to get on CNN on national TV in front of a diminishing audience and argue why IDs are bad or IDs are racist when you have 80% of black people saying, no, dude, like, we can get an ID.
	If I want to go to the club, if I want to go on an airplane, if I want to travel, I have the ability to get an ID.
	Vinny, do you think the ability to get ID is racist?
	Like, do you think that's too much to ask for?
	Yeah, Pat, because I just, no, absolutely not.
	It's actually, you know how disrespectful it is for a black person to say that about other black.
	Like, what do you think of your people?
	How freaking disrespectful and racist is that?
	Go get your damn ID.
	You want to vote.
	Go when you're 26.
	Dude, I had an idea when I had a fake idea when I was 15.
	If I could do it, you could do it.
	Vinny, they do it every day in Los Angeles.
	I was in a nightclub.
	People were like, damn, that guy's yelling.
	Thank you for saying a nightclub.
	It's like debating.
	It's like debating whether or not you should show your ID when you go into a nightclub.
	Bro, I was out clubbing.
	Everybody knows.
	You want to know the name of the club.
	2001.
	What was the name of the club?
	It was called 2001.
	And the vouchers were jerks.
	Anybody from New Britain, Connecticut with no pat, we'd have to wear baggy jeans under these tight jeans.
	The security guys were jerks.
	And then once we got in, well, fake ID from a bodega called Cidracas.
	I got a fake ID.
	The guy was like, Minato, get all the ID.
	You're ratting on your fake ID guy.
	That place isn't there anymore.
	Yeah, but all the people from 2001.
	Let me guess.
	They went on a visit shortly after that.
	Pat, I would just, I take my shirt and I would just sweat.
	Oh, it was amazing.
	I would do the warm.
	I haven't been ID'd since I was 12 years old.
	People never, never believe my age, but we would go to a club called Carnival in downtown L.A.
	Yeah, Carnival.
	It was no longer around.
	How old?
	How old?
	15 years old.
	Oh, I can't even give you a shout out.
	Do you remember the name of every club you've ever been to?
	Oh, yeah.
	Like literally every club.
	When I was in Kentucky, we used to go to this one club and then in a vaca, fifth of.
	Yeah.
	Tom, what clubs did you go to?
	Come on, Tom.
	Believe it or not, they didn't let him in.
	I spent, you know, high school in Boca Tone, Florida, and we used to go down spring break to The Button, Summers on the Beach, and Penrods.
	They were all right together.
	And right at the end of Penrod, P-E-N-R-O-D.
	And then right at the end was called The Candy Store, which was owned by comedian Flip Wilson, who used to have the Flip Wilson show, and he was on TV.
Clubs And Media Companies 00:08:33
	And or partially owned by him.
	By the way, and that group of clubs down there, there was his act, Geraldine.
	He would put on the wig and do this Geraldine act.
	And you know what was amazing?
	Fort Lauderdale wanted to get rid of those four bars specifically because they felt that it was just a problem for spring break.
	Tom, the comment section is saying you went to Studio 54.
	You don't want to return to the business.
	The comment section is like, they saw you at Studio 54.
	Tom Bozaldo.
	It's all over the place.
	And in L.A., not too far from Dodger Stadium, there is a place called the Shortstop where you would have all kinds of – Oh, wow.
	Now we're really getting into it.
	Tom is doing blow off the toilet ball.
	Did you hear about what RFK?
	What does that have to do?
	RFK was saying he was doing okay.
	What did that have to do with ID, though?
	Yeah, but what he's trying to say is these clubs he went to, Tom won with a fake ID.
	No, we used to go to Florida, Florida Rob.
	There was a club in Panama City, Club La Vila and Spinnakers.
	Club La Vila and Spinnakers.
	Oh, Spinnakers was right next to La Vila.
	La Vila had seven clubs within one club when back in the days MTV used to do its stuff and hard body contests and all this other stuff many, many years ago.
	Yeah.
	Tom, CNN.
	Let's go back to CNN.
	Ratings being down.
	Yep.
	Can they do anything about it?
	Well, they can.
	And I think if you just go take a look at what's happening at CBS, see, the news divisions have been lost.
	They've been lost leaders for media companies.
	And the media companies accepted the loss because the people at the top of those media companies were in cahoots with the liberal side of America, the progressive side of America.
	And they were using that as the megaphone to promote progressive liberalism.
	That's what they were doing.
	Now, things like CBS are owned by adults who are looking to make a profitable, you know, make CBS profitable, and they are bracing for another round of cuts is what's happening.
	Over at CNN, CNN is trapped in this group of cable nets that David Zaslov, Zaz, is going to spin.
	If Netflix wins, he's spinning that into what I believe will be a worthless tracking stock where they will just languish.
	If the Ellisons and Paramount wins, they want to take the cable nets and they want to make them profitable.
	And people are scared to death of that because that means CNN will go more toward the center the same way as CBS is leaning toward the center.
	And it's causing this apoplectic seizure.
	It's happening in the progressive movement.
	So can CNN save itself?
	Yes, but it's going to be more layoffs and new leadership, the same as you're seeing at CBS.
	CBS is, they are looking in the mirror over at CNN, and they don't like the reflection they're seeing because if they look, instead of let themselves look out the window at what's happening at CBS, they know what's coming.
	And that's why they're in such a, by the way, if you took Scott Jennings off, what would those ratings be?
	It's a good point.
	And by the way, 325?
	We send a couple of our guys, shout out to Umberto and Justin, to the YouTube event in D.C.
	And apparently they didn't go to a single meeting.
	All they did is party and drink and have fun.
	He's monitoring toilet plunge.
	Or the seven minutes that they went to the meeting.
	No, the report we got was phenomenal.
	But one of the things that a couple of the guys there talked about is texting me right now is The fact that the conversations are that cable has seven years left.
	So there's seven more years left for cable because right now, Rob, you just ran a poll.
	You ran a poll.
	What was the poll you just ran on YouTube?
	Where do you get your story news from?
	Yes.
	I don't know if it's still up or not.
	It is.
	Okay, check this out.
	Zoom in.
	3,000 votes.
	Where do you get your news from?
	Look at that.
	Print media, 1%.
	Fox, ABC, CNN, all that stuff, 8%.
	Podcasts, 91%, where people are getting their news from.
	It's changed.
	It's a different market today.
	It's crazy, though, Pat.
	It's crazy, though, that our audience and them, that 8%, that 9%, guys, that 9% still can cause an uproar.
	They could cause riots.
	They could shut down the freaking.
	It's still working.
	Don't get me wrong.
	They still get their message out, and they're still a bunch of brainwashed zombies that can't step back, get all the information, and then make a decision based on that and have an opinion on it.
	The fact that they're not, that 9% isn't giving fact.
	They're political activists.
	They want you to think a certain way because they're getting money from donors.
	Thank God for the 90-you know, 92% that we have going on.
	It's going to stop.
	But don't sleep on them because that little, little percentage still works, Adam.
	I still run into a lot of times people are just like, I hate Trump and they hate him.
	And they don't get it.
	This is amazing.
	You watch Harry Enton, Pat.
	Every night he's got a poll that's like saying exactly this, but they still don't move there.
	But there's also an age gap, though.
	Like people that are watching us are predominantly 50 and under.
	This is a good clip to show, Rob.
	The TV just works.
	People watching mainstream media.
	65 and overloading.
	Watch this clip here.
	Go ahead.
	Democratic base, right?
	But what about all Americans, right?
	How about all voters?
	Voters who say the Democrats are now too liberal.
	Look at this percentage.
	It's 42% in 1980.
	48% in 2013.
	Now, 58% in 2025 of all voters say that the Democratic Party is too liberal.
	The Democrats are moving to the left.
	The far left is gaining power.
	And there could be some electoral repercussions because what we see right now is voters, the clear majority.
	Look at her head.
	Look at her head.
	She's so bummed out.
	I really wonder how Harry Enton is treated in the lunchroom at CNN.
	There's Harry.
	Look at him with his facts and daring on your consciousness.
	Because you see today that they have to show the report about how the economy is doing with inflation.
	You see that?
	Consumer price.
	I think you have that clip as well, Rob, if you want to pull it up.
	I wonder if Harry Antonpat is like that at home when they want to go out to eat.
	He's like, this restaurant has A, and this one has a B.
	I wonder if he's that guy in the house.
	He has one of these.
	Imagine to a screen.
	I want you to go to the bath.
	We're going to the bedroom right now because in about six minutes, you and I are going to be.
	I'd like to see him order a McDonald's.
	Stand on the counter.
	Number eight.
	It's number one.
	And that's what I want.
	I want a number eight.
	And I want you to supersize it.
	He's hilarious, bro.
	Go back to that stage again.
	Watch this.
	This poor woman has to sit through this each week.
	Okay, look, this is some encouraging news on the cost of living.
	Inflation took a big step in the right place to start the year off.
	So consumer prices up by 2.4% year over year.
	That is an improvement from 2.7% in December.
	That beat expectations, which were for 2.5%.
	In fact, this is a new eight-month low for annual inflation, month over month.
	Prices up by 0.2%.
	Also a step in the right direction, also beating expectation.
	Now, economists look really closely at core inflation, which excludes food and energy.
	Core inflation came in at 2.5%.
	That's notable because that's the lowest annual inflation rate for core since March of 2021 before the inflation crisis.
	Now, while we can't exclude food and energy from our family budgets, that's important because economists say that's a better indicator for where inflation is going.
	And when you look at the trend for inflation, it stops.
	She wants it to be anywhere, but it's been a little bit bumpy on this chart.
	It's been bumpy, but it has improved.
	There was this uptick in inflation starting last spring after the president slapped massive tariffs on imports.
	Inflation started to go heat back up up to 3%.
	But thankfully, it's trending back down.
	Somebody get her a drink.
	Some of the notable.
	Okay.
	So funny.
	Isn't it great when you see this happening?
	It looks like it hurts her.
	Yeah.
	Like it's hurting the buddy.
	CNN should just cancel the stat show.
	It's like, it's harder.
	I mean, can you just show that stat one more time?
	42, 40.
	Voters.
	Yeah, 40 or 50.
	Is that all voters?
	Democrats.
	Democrats.
	Are saying the Democrats have become liberal.
	The Democratic Party is basically saying we got to become more liberal.
	To walk.
	Democrats.
	About time.
	Yeah.
	So, I mean, the question becomes, what happens next with this, right?
	That's the question.
	Is it going to mean anything?
I Wanted to Share Something 00:03:37
	I want to finish on a good story, Rob, on what we got going on is James Vanderbeek just passed away.
	Okay.
	And for some of you guys, if you don't know who he is, for me, everybody goes to different movies.
	Where do you go with him, by the way?
	Where do you go with him?
	What do you think about him?
	Varsity Blues.
	You go to Varsity Blues.
	What do you guys think?
	I don't walk.
	You're laugh.
	Where do you go, Rob?
	Incredible.
	I go to one.
	Do you ever watch any of this stuff or no?
	Dawson's Creek.
	Okay, so listen, let me tell you guys about Dawson's Creek.
	Rob, tell me you're into men without telling me.
	I honestly don't want to wait for our lives to be over.
	I don't want to wait.
	That was the song, FYI.
	You know what's crazy?
	I'm going to share this with you guys.
	Please don't share with anybody.
	And let's just keep it in this community.
	I don't want anybody to know this.
	When I was in the Army, me and these six, seven guys from our unit, we knew a couple things.
	In our barracks, there's two things we wouldn't miss.
	When Sosa and Maguire were playing, we'd be in that room watching the games or Tuesday nights.
	They changed it to Wednesday, but for many years it was Tuesday night, Dawson's Creek.
	And we would sit there and watch this guy.
	It was the sickest show, but we had one code.
	We cannot tell anybody we watched Dawson's Creek.
	Okay?
	It's one of the things.
	You can brag about watching Melrose plays, maybe even a little bit Beverly's 90210.
	You can't tell people you watch Dawson's Creek and you're in a military uniform, all this other stuff.
	But it was an awesome show.
	The best part about him is this one clip I shared where he experiences God as he's going through his...
	It's such a beautiful, beautiful message to finish the podcast on.
	Go ahead, Rob.
	Today's my birthday, and it has been the hardest year of my life.
	And I wanted to share something that I learned with y'all.
	When I was younger, I used to define myself as an actor, right?
	Which was never really all that fulfilling.
	And then I became a husband, and that was much better.
	And then I became a father, and that was the ultimate.
	I could define myself then as a loving, capable, strong, supportive husband, father, provider, steward of the land that we're so lucky to live on.
	And for a long time, that felt like a really good definition to the question, who am I?
	What am I?
	And then this year, I had to look my own mortality in the eye.
	I had to come nose to nose with death.
	And all of those definitions that I cared so deeply about were stripped from me.
	I was away for treatment.
	So I could no longer be a husband that was helpful to my wife.
	I could no longer be a father who could pick up his kids and put them to bed and be there for them.
	I could not be a provider because that wasn't working.
	I couldn't even be a steward of the land because at times I was too weak to prune all the trees during the window that you're supposed to prune them.
	And so I was faced with the question, if I am just a too skinny, weak guy alone in an apartment with cancer, what am I?
	And I meditated and the answer came through, I am worthy of God's love.
	Wow.
	Simply because I exist.
	And if I'm worthy of God's love, shouldn't I also be worthy of my own?
Reflections on Worthiness 00:03:25
	And the same is true for you.
	And as I move through this healing portal toward recovery, I wanted to share that with you because I think that revelation that came to me was due in no small part to all the prayers and the love that have been directed toward me.
	So I offer that to you, however it sits in your consciousness, however it resonates, run with it.
	And if the word God trips you up, I certainly don't know.
	I can't claim to know what God is or explain God.
	My efforts to connect to God are an ongoing process that is a constant unfolding mystery to me.
	But if it's a trigger, it feels too religious, you can take the word God out and your mantra can simply be, I am worthy of love.
	Isn't that amazing?
	Ain't that amazing?
	And then, boom, he passed away two days ago when you see that message.
	Do you see, look in his eyes and tell me that faith.
	He has faith and zero fear.
	Said death is nose to nose with him, and I didn't see any fear in him because he has God.
	If that doesn't tell you everything that we're about, I'm sorry.
	I love you, Vinny, and I appreciate that, man.
	So for me, all these actors that die, we remember, like for you, it was Dawson's Creek.
	For me, it was Varsity Blues, and it doesn't come close.
	You know, we're seeing these actors die, and we say, man, I remember Dustin Diamond died.
	That was screeched from Save by the Bell.
	I used to wake up in the morning and I feel it.
	You remember that song?
	And then Paul Walker died.
	He was also in the movie with Varsity Blues.
	He was the quarterback that Foxy Moxie, James Vanderbeek, took his place.
	Man, I used to hang out with that guy in Miami.
	Wow, good looking guy.
	Ston of a guy.
	Died driving a car.
	Fast and man, I knew him.
	Chad with Boseman died, right?
	Wakanda Forever.
	And you're like, dude, what is happening right now?
	But this is a part of life.
	But I'll tell you one story.
	In 1999, when Varsity Blues came out, I was playing football at the time.
	I was playing football in North Carolina at the time.
	Our whole team went to go see that movie.
	And you talk about the army and the camaraderie.
	Go take your entire football team to go watch Varsity Blues.
	Like, remember when we took the entire company to go watch Air?
	We're like, all right, we're going to go change the world.
	Movies, you know, I'm not a big movie guy.
	Movies, they used to be able to galvanize people and change the world.
	And they used to be original.
	Now the movies aren't what they used to be.
	But here's a guy that has made such a huge impact from one movie.
	And look at the impact that he's made in this world with his family.
	Look at this family right here.
	Unbelievable.
	So here you have, obviously, a grieving mother and beautiful kids, beautiful blonde babies.
	And salute to James Vanderbeek for everything you've done for America and for our culture and for society.
	Four daughters, two sons, husband and wife, widow Kimberly Brooke, who was raised a Christian, born a Christian.
	And may you rest in peace.
	Tom, your thoughts here.
	You know, we all owe this world one death.
Reflecting On Life 00:04:17
	And it's easy when you're young and strong to kind of create your own God and to create your own confidence and to live according to that and to doubt everything else.
	But it's an amazing thing of the human condition that when we're faced with our mortality, we are all capable of self-reflection if we'll let our bold, flawed human self get out of the way.
	And that's what you saw there.
	You saw a guy that was reflecting on who he was, reflecting on his value.
	And we're all worthy of God's love.
	And that's a God that sent his son that loved us so much that all of our flaws on earth, that all of our flaws as humans, he wants to forgive that and to give you the gateway to eternal life and peace.
	And I'm really inspired by the reflection that I saw in the words that he gave.
	And I think you can slow down.
	You can slow down and meditate and think about who you are in this life and let your human self get out of the way for a minute and just think about what you just saw and say, what are the choices I'm making today?
	And there's a God that loves me so much in my sin and everything who I am today.
	You don't need to wait till you have cancer to kind of reflect on that and to live a life of true value and peace and encouragement to others.
	And I pray for his family.
	What a beautiful family.
	What a just a gorgeous reflection there.
	And you look at the reflection of who he was.
	Look at his family.
	There's the reflection.
	Very interesting.
	He's a wonderful, wonderful father.
	Look at them.
	Yeah, I'm going back to see how they met.
	They met on a trip to Israel in 2009.
	Neither are Jewish, by the way.
	They had such a spiritual experience, personal growth experience that they ended up getting married there in 2010 in Tel Aviv.
	Partly because that's where they met.
	They got married in Tel Aviv.
	Neither's Jewish.
	So I said, maybe she's probably Jewish.
	No.
	You can tell, I mean, for somebody who wants to get married at a place like that and you're raised a Christian and very interesting.
	But all in all, super likable.
	Man, you just hate to hear stories like this, a young man being where they're at.
	And it makes all of us, you know, you're 47 years old, you get to a certain age in your life where you start realizing how important of a role faith plays.
	And I always say this to everybody.
	I told this to Adam for many, many years.
	I would tell him this.
	And I would say to anyone around me, whatever you're doing this weekend, my suggestion, go to church.
	Go to church this Sunday.
	Go to service this Sunday.
	Especially for some of you guys that haven't been a while.
	And maybe you're battling with your faith and things that didn't go right.
	You lost somebody, your relationship, a bad breakup, finance, career, bad experience back in the days when you were a kid.
	Something happened with a church, with a pastor, with a priest, whatever it may be.
	I was told a long time ago when I would go to Bible study in 2002, Friday nights, I would be in, every other Friday night, I would be in Pasadena from 6 p.m. to 2 o'clock in the morning.
	If you judge your relationship with God horizontally, you'll always be disappointed.
	But if you judge your relationship with God vertically, you'll be fine.
	So your bad experience spiritually is probably horizontal.
	On somebody else let you down, they did something to you that hurt you.
	You won't be disappointed vertically.
	It's been my experience.
	I can't believe the life I live every day.
	I'm so grateful for it.
	Ways.
	I didn't even know we're going to finish the story on this.
	Last minute, I decided to do this because his message he gave was so touching, was so amazing, and I hope it touched the right people as well.
	Gang, have a great weekend.
	Enjoy Valentine's Day with your loved ones tomorrow.
	And if you don't have a loved one, there's plenty of dating sites out there to find somebody to go on a date with.
	But whatever.
	Go make a baby this weekend.
	Enjoy the weekend.
	If you're married, do go make a baby this weekend.
	If you're married, God bless you.
	Even if you're not married everybody, do it the right way.
	God bless everybody.
	Take care.
