=== Kamala Harris and Big Pharma (05:21) ===

[00:00:07]  Did you ever think you would make it?
[00:00:09]  I feel on something, so I could taste sweetly, thick, dirty.
[00:00:16]  I know this life meant for me.
[00:00:19]  Adam, what's your point?
[00:00:21]  The future looks bright.
[00:00:22]  My handshake is better than anything I ever signed.
[00:00:25]  It's right here.
[00:00:26]  You are a one on one?
[00:00:26]  My son's right there.
[00:00:27]  I don't think I've ever said this before.
[00:00:33]  You know, things are bad when you don't put your hand in Scott Jennings' face.
[00:00:37]  Ever.
[00:00:37]  I don't know if you guys saw this.
[00:00:38]  Like, what are you doing?
[00:00:39]  Are you guys.
[00:00:40]  Putting his hands in his face, Scott Jennings flips out.
[00:00:43]  Then we hear all these stories.
[00:00:44]  This executive in Chase, you know, apparently, allegedly tells this other Indian guy that's got a very interesting looking face that apparently he told, she told him, I bet your little Asian fish head wife doesn't have these cannons.
[00:00:59]  Who says that?
[00:00:59]  Who talks like that?
[00:01:00]  I hope it's not.
[00:01:01]  Who talks like that?
[00:01:01]  I know it's not.
[00:01:02]  In an even, like, you threaten your employees like that.
[00:01:05]  And by the way, we, so that story got like 40, 50 million views on X yesterday.
[00:01:10]  You know, that's.
[00:01:10]  That's inappropriate to talk like that, Tom.
[00:01:12]  I don't know, maybe to you it's normal talking like that.
[00:01:14]  It's just not.
[00:01:15]  And then, by the way, a few things that top stories that we have to go through the War Powers Act.
[00:01:21]  We have to address that with Pete Heck said yesterday in May 1st deadline.
[00:01:25]  Today is May 1st.
[00:01:26]  It's a special day because Ayrton Senna with Jake coming in here telling the story.
[00:01:34]  But May 1st is a special day, 1994.
[00:01:37]  Jake reminded us.
[00:01:38]  But, anyways, also with that, Uh, he, you know, May 1st deadline.
[00:01:42]  Can he continue war on Iran after that?
[00:01:45]  U.S. Israel war on Iran news.
[00:01:47]  That's an Al Jazeera story.
[00:01:48]  We'll hit that.
[00:01:50]  Uh, aside from that, Comey, when I saw this, I'm like, there's no way this guy's getting arrested.
[00:01:54]  And he showed up himself, right?
[00:01:56]  When he pulls, he shows up himself.
[00:01:57]  And this is not like it's not like Todd Blanche did it, it's not like the DOJ did it.
[00:02:01]  No, this is a jury, this is a grand jury that came up.
[00:02:04]  And so it's a legit thing that's going on.
[00:02:06]  They hear evidence.
[00:02:07]  Yeah, this isn't out of the blue, you know.
[00:02:09]  Some of them could even be on his side saying, Hey, you can't talk like that.
[00:02:12]  The former director of FBI, you say 86 47.
[00:02:15]  Come on.
[00:02:15]  And then a clip comes out with the Learning Center, crushed it.
[00:02:20]  They were out of business, apparently.
[00:02:21]  The FBI saying nobody's working out of there.
[00:02:23]  And some people say Nick Shirley should get credit for that.
[00:02:26]  They shouldn't get credit for that.
[00:02:27]  I think he definitely should get credit for that.
[00:02:29]  And then Fauci, one of Fauci's partners, came up, and apparently he got in trouble.
[00:02:33]  We'll talk about that.
[00:02:34]  Redistricting, massive story.
[00:02:37]  The moment that story was dropped, I had Governor Westmore here.
[00:02:39]  We were talking about it.
[00:02:41]  And it's definitely 12 additional seats Republicans pick up like this.
[00:02:47]  Four in Florida.
[00:02:48]  This is massive, just so you know that for this to go through.
[00:02:51]  Spencer Pratt pulls up the best campaign video ad we've seen in a long time.
[00:03:00]  And it had a direct impact on Kalshi, okay, on Kalshi immediately.
[00:03:04]  Erica Kirk came up and she shot a video.
[00:03:09]  Some say she was dressed like Eminem, but she shot a video talking about, you know, people that are criticizing, you know, there was so much reaction to it.
[00:03:17]  You know, that we have to talk about it.
[00:03:19]  Everybody's like, how come you're not talking about?
[00:03:21]  I'm like, I don't want to talk about my friend's wife, but, you know, we will talk about it and give some thoughts here.
[00:03:27]  The guys want to talk about it.
[00:03:28]  They got some, you know, things they want to share about that.
[00:03:31]  And then, aside from that, you know, you ever hear the saying, you know, this person's the cure for insomnia?
[00:03:37]  You ever hear that saying?
[00:03:38]  Like, if you have a sleeping problem, this is like scientific right now.
[00:03:42]  It's no longer like being disputed.
[00:03:43]  Scientists are agreeing with this.
[00:03:46]  Kamala Harris is the cure for insomnia.
[00:03:48]  This man, Who's a saxophone guy?
[00:03:50]  Poor guy sitting there trying to do his job.
[00:03:52]  Kamala Harris has given a speech.
[00:03:53]  He's knocked out on the other side.
[00:03:54]  He's putting Big Pharma out of business.
[00:03:57]  This guy's putting Big Pharma out of business.
[00:03:58]  Big Pharma is selling medicine to put people to sleep.
[00:04:00]  They're like, no, just put Kamala Harris for a speech.
[00:04:02]  You'll fall asleep.
[00:04:03]  And by the way, what's crazy is Vinny, that she just went up on Calcium.
[00:04:07]  And then, you know, the fact that she could be the nominee.
[00:04:10]  You know, they're like, she could be the nominee as a leading candidate.
[00:04:13]  And who knows?
[00:04:14]  It'll be great because she'll.
[00:04:15]  Small numbers, but 4X over four days.
[00:04:17]  It is what it is.
[00:04:18]  4X over four days.
[00:04:19]  You got to respect it.
[00:04:20]  Trump compliments this NASA scientist's ears in a very Trump way that you have to see.
[00:04:29]  He says, look at his ears.
[00:04:30]  You know, what did he say?
[00:04:31]  He can hear anything?
[00:04:32]  He's like, this guy is so funny.
[00:04:33]  I don't even want to hear it.
[00:04:35]  That's like your buddy on the NFL Nestrel.
[00:04:36]  He's not even going to go.
[00:04:37]  No, that's the go.
[00:04:38]  No, no, no.
[00:04:38]  That guy's the go.
[00:04:39]  Nobody, listen, nobody, nobody puts him in the corner.
[00:04:43]  That guy's got the ears.
[00:04:44]  One of a kind.
[00:04:45]  He knows who he is.
[00:04:46]  He's listening.
[00:04:46]  He listens to every conversation in the world.
[00:04:49]  And then, aside from that, we have a couple other things.
[00:04:51]  Video comes out, doing MRI on study on kids on the power of watching videos.
[00:04:56]  What it does to you on, what do you call it?
[00:04:59]  Doom scrolling or dead scrolling?
[00:05:01]  What is the phrase?
[00:05:01]  Doom scrolling.
[00:05:02]  Doom scrolling.
[00:05:03]  How it is for you, how bad it is for you.
[00:05:05]  A couple other videos that came up about zombie like state, San Francisco drug addicts.
[00:05:11]  You got Tesla hits a milestone with semi truck production.
[00:05:14]  The stock is up.
[00:05:16]  What else can I talk about?
[00:05:18]  Freaking Anna Paulina Luna, rock star.
[00:05:21]  Rock star.
[00:05:21]  They're trying to do whatever they can because she is exposing a lot of stuff.
[00:05:25]  She's such a rock star.
[00:05:27]  Great job for what she's doing.

=== FLB Shoes Price Surge to $200 (03:42) ===

[00:05:29]  Gas prices, wherever you are, it's probably not at a discount right now.
[00:05:33]  It apparently hit $126, which is the highest in four years.
[00:05:38]  Hit $126.
[00:05:40]  Some are now saying it could go to $200.
[00:05:42]  Some are concerned about it.
[00:05:44]  And then we got Elon and OpenAI, Sam Altman's lawyer, getting into a fight.
[00:05:48]  And one story that I don't appreciate really pisses me off, honestly.
[00:05:53]  This is the kind of stories that you read and you're like, you guys got to get your act together.
[00:05:57]  Why 47 is the age you hit peak happiness, according to science.
[00:06:02]  I'm done.
[00:06:03]  After 47, you're screwed.
[00:06:05]  Okay, but 47 is the age.
[00:06:07]  We're going to try to prove that wrong to see if they know what they're talking about.
[00:06:10]  That's a big number.
[00:06:11]  That's a big number, 47.
[00:06:12]  So, having said that, Before we get started, I don't like that Joe Kick is out to the Nuggets.
[00:06:18]  That's the team I was rooting for.
[00:06:20]  I don't like that.
[00:06:21]  I don't like that Anthony Edwards is injured.
[00:06:22]  Makes the NBA boring.
[00:06:24]  A bunch of people are getting injured.
[00:06:26]  You know, similar move.
[00:06:27]  He was trying to make a couple guys under ACL that, you know, I relate to as a professional athlete here on our campus.
[00:06:33]  But we're rooting for Wemby.
[00:06:36]  I want to see Wemby.
[00:06:37]  I'm very proud of the New York Mets for having the worst record in Major League Baseball.
[00:06:41]  Nice.
[00:06:41]  Congratulations to the Mets.
[00:06:42]  You guys are crushing it with the biggest payroll, and you can't even buy wins anymore.
[00:06:47]  It's terrible.
[00:06:47]  I feel bad for them.
[00:06:49]  Because at least the Dodgers can buy wins.
[00:06:51]  You know, when they go pay $7 billion or however much money they're paying to players, they're winning.
[00:06:56]  But this is going to be an interesting season for baseball.
[00:06:58]  Yeah, 7.2, right?
[00:07:00]  7.2 billion.
[00:07:01]  Having said that, okay, a couple things I want to share with you.
[00:07:06]  One, the FLB shoes.
[00:07:08]  People were messaging me, size 14.
[00:07:10]  It's coming soon.
[00:07:12]  They were messaging us about a couple different things that's coming up as Opab.
[00:07:15]  What's the surprise with the big shoe?
[00:07:17]  We have a lot of stuff that's going on.
[00:07:18]  But right now, when you look at this, a couple of these sizes, at the end, 10.5, 11, We have less than 40 pairs of those sizes.
[00:07:26]  So, if you're somebody that wants to get your future looks bright shoes and you haven't yet for yourself or your spouse, go get them, especially if you're walking a lot.
[00:07:34]  Yesterday, we're sitting in a meeting, literally, Tom and I, in Palm Beach with two billionaires, of which one of them gave $50 million to, you know, he gave a lot of money to the previous campaign.
[00:07:45]  And we're talking business, we're talking about all this other stuff.
[00:07:48]  And I say, hey, one of our products is this shoe.
[00:07:50]  I take the shoe out.
[00:07:51]  The guy literally grabs the shoe out of my hand.
[00:07:53]  He says, You got to be kidding me.
[00:07:54]  These are $600.
[00:07:56]  Show me that.
[00:07:57]  These are $600.
[00:07:58]  I said, Yeah, they're $600.
[00:07:59]  Zenias are $1,200 and they have the super foam and they're light and they're comfortable and they're made in the same exact factories as, you know, Hermes and Louis Vuitton and all this other stuff.
[00:08:08]  So if you haven't yet picked that up, Rob, go play the clip about FLB shoes and then we'll get right into the podcast.
[00:08:14]  When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast.
[00:08:22]  We had the choice to make it cheap.
[00:08:24]  We chose neither.
[00:08:26]  Instead, we chose Tuscanero.
[00:08:28]  We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
[00:08:34]  We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step.
[00:08:41]  Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.

=== Vietnam Defense and Ceasefire Talks (15:21) ===

[00:09:12]  The story I want to get into is May 1st is the deadline.
[00:09:15]  Can he continue war on Iran after that?
[00:09:19]  Story pops out, Rob.
[00:09:20]  I think you got a video on this.
[00:09:22]  There's two of them.
[00:09:22]  One of them is the Pete Hex said one, the other one is the fact that May 1st is the deadline.
[00:09:27]  Let's start off with the Pete Hex said one.
[00:09:28]  Go for it.
[00:09:30]  Ultimately, I would defer to the White House and White House counsel on that.
[00:09:33]  However, we are in a ceasefire right now, which our understanding means the 60 day clock pauses.
[00:09:39]  Or stops in a ceasefire.
[00:09:41]  So they're not in.
[00:09:42]  That's our understanding, just so you know.
[00:09:44]  Okay, well, I do not believe the statute would support that.
[00:09:47]  I think the 60 days runs maybe tomorrow, and that's going to pose a really important legal question for the administration.
[00:09:55]  We have serious constitutional concerns, and we don't want to layer those with additional statutory concerns.
[00:10:01]  I yield back, Mr. All right, Rob.
[00:10:03]  Is that the clip on the war powers?
[00:10:04]  Yes, sir.
[00:10:05]  Okay, so this was a conversation that also came up in the meeting that we had yesterday.
[00:10:10]  Senate Republicans are calling on the Trump administration to clarify.
[00:10:13]  How is it interpreting the 60 day clock under the War Powers Act, its military campaign against Iran?
[00:10:20]  The 60 day deadline, depending on who's counting, is arriving on requiring the president to seek authorization or wind down operation.
[00:10:29]  The first strike against Iran was February 28, but Defense Secretary Pete Sector offered a different view during the testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, suggesting the clock can pause or stop during a ceasefire.
[00:10:43]  Republicans include some of Who have flirted with supporting a War Powers resolution appeared open to exit interpretation.
[00:10:49]  It sounds like there's some wiggle room he provided there for himself, said Senator Todd Young from Indiana.
[00:10:55]  We'll take a look whatever they send over.
[00:10:57]  Presumably, they'll communicate that in a formal way.
[00:11:00]  They have, in a very careful way, followed the War Powers Act so far.
[00:11:03]  Tom, I believe the War Powers Act is the one from Nixon in 73 that he was not supportive of, that you have to go get approval for everything with Congress.
[00:11:12]  So tell us why this is so important.
[00:11:14]  So the War Powers Act happened in 1973, and 1973 was significant because For four years, the United States had been secretly bombing the living squat out of Cambodia from 1969 to 1973.
[00:11:27]  It was called the secret bombing of Cambodia because they thought that there were communist insurgents that were over there operating camps and supply lines and a lot of havoc that they were flowing into Vietnam.
[00:11:40]  And everybody wanted Lyndon Johnson's war because remember, the Vietnam War hit full speed within a year of Johnson being president.
[00:11:49]  And actually, practically before all of the national mourning over Kennedy was over, Johnson had already met with military leaders and strategists and elected to escalate what was going on in Vietnam.
[00:12:02]  So, this had been going on for like years and years and years.
[00:12:05]  And finally, Pat, the US Congress is like, look, if we can't get a ceasefire, we can't get out of Vietnam, and all these people are being drafted.
[00:12:13]  And, you know, I had an uncle that went and didn't come back, unfortunately, and his name's on the Vietnam War wall there in Washington.
[00:12:22]  And so Congress came up, Pat, and said, okay, stop.
[00:12:26]  Unless you have specific instructions and support and a vote that says, yes, we're declaring war, just like when the president went before Congress and said, I want you to declare war on Japan after Pearl Harbor, it was a very formal vote.
[00:12:45]  And the Congress said, yes, we're declaring war.
[00:12:47]  So it was all aligned.
[00:12:48]  And Vietnam was not aligned.
[00:12:51]  So all of this madness came together, Pat, in 1973.
[00:12:54]  And they said, that's it.
[00:12:56]  A president can go 60 days if they have to do some sort of emergency act, some bad thing happened.
[00:13:01]  This is what goes on, Vinny.
[00:13:02]  You know what I mean?
[00:13:02]  The military has to respond and do something about something, and you can't wait for Congress and the navel gazing, and you can't put your plans in public.
[00:13:11]  So Congress said, okay, it is true that the president needs the pen, Pat, to act as a leader and to take steps.
[00:13:19]  But after 60 days, if it's going further, you got to get our permission.
[00:13:24]  And that's the War Powers Act.
[00:13:25]  And that's why they put it in place.
[00:13:27]  Vinny.
[00:13:28]  And thank you, Pat.
[00:13:29]  My question to you is Tom, does Pete Hegseth and the Department of War have to prove with intel behind closed doors, not in front of the public, that these threats, the nuclear plans, and all that stuff is actually valid to continue it?
[00:13:44]  Because I think 60 days is still a lot to just go, okay, we're going to go to war because we said this and then we're going to go.
[00:13:49]  After 60 days, do they have to prove that this is correct?
[00:13:53]  Is that what you're saying?
[00:13:53]  The test is called the unavoidable military necessity.
[00:13:57]  And there are subcommittees that are secret subcommittees.
[00:14:01]  There are.
[00:14:02]  I believe there are 11 congressmen right now that will get secret briefings from the Department of Defense.
[00:14:07]  It's like the Defense Select Subcommittee or something like that, Rob.
[00:14:11]  If you look it up, I think that's what it's called.
[00:14:13]  I think it is called that, the Defense Select Subcommittee.
[00:14:17]  And so the president, joint chiefs, and only those people know to create these committees for the purpose of discussing it.
[00:14:32]  Convinced, and so they said, Okay, then the subcommittee whispers to everybody else, We need to vote yes on this.
[00:14:38]  We've seen it.
[00:14:39]  Gotcha.
[00:14:39]  We, representative of Congress, we've seen this.
[00:14:42]  We've talked to them.
[00:14:43]  Yep, there it is.
[00:14:44]  There it is.
[00:14:45]  Unavoidable military necessity right there.
[00:14:48]  So that's a checks and balance.
[00:14:49]  So, Tom, that's a checks and balance, even though, I mean, it is, you know, if a president says, Hey, we're going to go to war, we're going to go to war.
[00:14:55]  But at least this, after 60 days, it's a checks and balance.
[00:14:58]  It's a good, okay, enough is enough.
[00:14:59]  You guys don't have any proof or whatever, whichever way that they go.
[00:15:02]  Right.
[00:15:02]  But we live in a world where Aha, chewing gum in class.
[00:15:06]  Impeach the bastard.
[00:15:08]  It's terrible.
[00:15:09]  And chewing gum in class.
[00:15:10]  No, no, I'm being ridiculous for a reason.
[00:15:13]  I think you understand, Adam.
[00:15:15]  It's ridiculous.
[00:15:15]  We want to go after our president rather than trying to get ourselves toward a more unified world.
[00:15:23]  And yes, war is a serious thing, but that's what's going on.
[00:15:26]  They're like, ha ha, it's May 1st.
[00:15:28]  If you keep doing this, now we're going to come after you.
[00:15:30]  I feel like now, Iran could practically.
[00:15:35]  Nuke Pakistan and the U.S. Congress wouldn't vote to give him war powers simply because they want to catch him and they want to do these things.
[00:15:45]  Because I honestly think that the Dem side of this doesn't care.
[00:15:48]  Although I swear with the same voice, I'll say, you know what?
[00:15:52]  I want this thing over.
[00:15:54]  Yeah, you and me both.
[00:15:54]  Yeah, but let me tell you, there's some people that are the extremists that are going to use this to say this gives Congress the power to want to impeach and hold them accountable because they're going to do it.
[00:16:05]  So the games are about to start.
[00:16:06]  It's a big game.
[00:16:07]  And you know who knows about this leverage as well?
[00:16:09]  Iran knows about this leverage on how they don't roll with this.
[00:16:13]  I want to show a couple of clips, and then, Adam, I'm going to come to you.
[00:16:16]  First clip I want to show you, Rob, if you want to go to Hexed, is what he does.
[00:16:20]  These three clips, I want to show all three of them.
[00:16:22]  Very important.
[00:16:22]  Here's Hexed going back and forth with Elizabeth Warren.
[00:16:24]  Go ahead, Rob.
[00:16:25]  What I give, what you give, what others give, I'm not looking for money.
[00:16:29]  I don't do it for money.
[00:16:29]  I don't do it for profit.
[00:16:30]  I don't do it for stocks.
[00:16:31]  And that's part of the reason why I'm able to be effective in this job because no one owns me.
[00:16:35]  No one owns this department.
[00:16:37]  No one owns this president.
[00:16:38]  And we can execute for the American people, and we do.
[00:16:42]  So that's Hexa.
[00:16:43]  This went viral.
[00:16:43]  Another clip is him going back and forth on a completely different point of the mantra being, you know, diversity.
[00:16:51]  And look what he had to say here.
[00:16:52]  Go for it.
[00:16:53]  Hexa was on fire yesterday.
[00:16:55]  I haven't talked about it as much in these hearings because this is a budget hearing about $1.5 trillion that's historic and significant.
[00:17:03]  But underwriting the change that we've seen in our department was a laser focus on getting back to basics.
[00:17:09]  And the key word to that is merit.
[00:17:12]  We had a department that was obsessed with gender.
[00:17:16]  Ideology and race, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
[00:17:20]  In fact, the mantra you would hear dripping from the lips of generals with a serious look on their face was, Our diversity is our strength.
[00:17:28]  It's the dumbest phrase.
[00:17:28]  It's the single dumbest phrase in military history.
[00:17:32]  Of course, our diversity is not our strength.
[00:17:34]  Our unity is our strength, our shared purpose, the flag we wear, and the Constitution we serve to defend.
[00:17:41]  And when you clear that debris away, whether it's Marxist ideologies or social engineering or political correctness, Or quotas based on gender and diversity, you get the best of the best rising up, regardless of gender, regardless of race, motivated by that environment where merit reigns, it's accountability.
[00:18:00]  That makes sense.
[00:18:01]  And then go to the last one, Rob.
[00:18:02]  And by the way, Roh Khanna called them out and said, hey, this has cost American people XYZ amount of money because of gas prices.
[00:18:08]  But this is another one here, Rob, if you want to play.
[00:18:12]  We've always had a merit based system.
[00:18:14]  That's not the argument.
[00:18:15]  No, we have not.
[00:18:15]  Not under the Biden administration.
[00:18:17]  We did not.
[00:18:17]  It became social engineering, not merit, and we're fixing it quick.
[00:18:20]  No, it didn't.
[00:18:21]  Yeah, so you say no, it's not.
[00:18:23]  And go on the bottom of the tweet.
[00:18:24]  If you can see the pictures, go click on that.
[00:18:26]  That's real, by the way.
[00:18:27]  That's what we were dealing with.
[00:18:28]  That's absolutely real.
[00:18:29]  That's what we were dealing with.
[00:18:30]  So don't tell me all this BS on what happened.
[00:18:32]  The pictures and the documentation is there.
[00:18:34]  Adam, where are you at with the story?
[00:18:35]  Look, here's what I think is going on.
[00:18:36]  So the way that the War Powers Act worked is this.
[00:18:39]  So the president can start a fight, and he could, in the case of Iran, whoop some freaking ASS.
[00:18:47]  But after 60 days, the Congress gets to go, no, no, no, time out, time out, time out.
[00:18:51]  You can't keep fighting without permission.
[00:18:53]  Yeah.
[00:18:54]  So, what Pete Hexett did was like, no, There's a loophole here.
[00:19:00]  We're in a ceasefire right now.
[00:19:02]  We're technically not even fighting for the last couple of weeks.
[00:19:05]  So, the 60 days doesn't even count.
[00:19:07]  So, there's sort of like a loophole timeout situation.
[00:19:09]  It's like, this is a random reference.
[00:19:11]  You'll get this.
[00:19:12]  Remember in Wayne's World, the great movie, classic movie, when they were playing hockey in the street?
[00:19:17]  And he's like, game on.
[00:19:19]  And then a car would come, game off.
[00:19:21]  That's what's going on here right now.
[00:19:22]  There's like, no, you can't do this because it's, by the way, speaking of the War's Powers Act, Libya, when Obama did that, he did it without the congressional approval.
[00:19:31]  Afghanistan, we've been doing this war in Iran for how many weeks now?
[00:19:35]  About eight weeks?
[00:19:36]  How long were we in Afghanistan?
[00:19:37]  That wasn't a war.
[00:19:39]  That was a mission trip.
[00:19:41]  So the hypocrisy is kind of out there.
[00:19:44]  But the last point is this it's amazing to me how the Democrats hate what's going on in Iran for the last eight weeks, but love the last four years of the war in Ukraine.
[00:19:55]  Which one is it?
[00:19:56]  They love Biden's war, but they hate Trump's war.
[00:19:59]  I'm smelling a little hypocrisy there.
[00:20:01]  And just FYI, in regard to P. Hegseth, You want that guy in charge of the Department of War.
[00:20:09]  Because at the end of the day, our military, we need, bro, you have to have trained killers.
[00:20:15]  Sorry, it's brutally honest.
[00:20:16]  The mission is to protect the country from evil, foreign and domestic.
[00:20:21]  They have to protect us, and that's the guy that you want.
[00:20:24]  He's not worried about masks.
[00:20:26]  He's not worried about.
[00:20:27]  But I'm telling you, you're going to expect a lot of games.
[00:20:30]  It is officially opened up for a lot of games.
[00:20:35]  Congress, they lose the House, which the redistricting thing that happened is massive.
[00:20:40]  But let's just say they control the House immediately, 2027.
[00:20:45]  All you get, 2027 could be the year of gridlock.
[00:20:48]  It's going to be the year of gridlock.
[00:20:49]  Everything is locked up in politics.
[00:20:51]  Nothing's going to get done.
[00:20:53]  It's going to be fight, fight, fight, back to impeach, impeach, impeach.
[00:20:56]  And it's going to go into the 2028 presidential election.
[00:20:59]  And then that's going to come next.
[00:21:00]  So to me, this could lead to a lot of nasty stuff.
[00:21:02]  So one of the things that happened that's massive.
[00:21:05]  You see the tweet from President Obama.
[00:21:07]  I brought this up to Governor Westmore.
[00:21:09]  We were talking about it.
[00:21:10]  And all of a sudden, you know, the phone starts blowing up that Obama just tweeted this.
[00:21:16]  What did he tweet?
[00:21:17]  He tweeted about, you know, how massive this is, how horrible this is for America.
[00:21:22]  And when Obama says something like that, obviously the people that are, you know, on the complete opposite side, they're like, if Obama's pissed off, that means something good is going on.
[00:21:31]  Rob, just go to his account.
[00:21:32]  Just go to people.
[00:21:33]  All you have to do is go to people.
[00:21:34]  Yeah.
[00:21:35]  So you see.
[00:21:37]  I don't know if it's this one or not, Rob.
[00:21:38]  We had it a couple days ago.
[00:21:39]  Just, yeah.
[00:21:41]  So, right there.
[00:21:42]  Okay.
[00:21:43]  So, this is the tweet that he puts up there says, today's Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act free and state legislator to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities so long as they do it under the guise of partisanship rather than explicit racial bias.
[00:22:04]  And it serves as just one more example of how the majority of the Supreme Court seems intent on abandoning its role.
[00:22:11]  In ensuring equal participation in our democracy.
[00:22:14]  Anyways, the good news is that we can come back and pa, by winning elections, by winning midterms.
[00:22:18]  So he's kind of using this as that.
[00:22:20]  Why is this such a big deal?
[00:22:22]  If you go to the actual article, Rob, and show what it did on the redistricting side, which is absolutely massive, absolutely massive.
[00:22:33]  Supreme Court ruled for it.
[00:22:37]  So, what do you mean Supreme Court ruled for it?
[00:22:39]  Supreme Court ruled for it.
[00:22:41]  Six to three.
[00:22:42]  And this Supreme Court that ruled for it allows, if this goes through, okay, 6 3, Louisiana's 2024 mid-decade redistricting that produced a serpentine district represented by this, calling it an illegal racial gerrymandering, while Obama argued the decision weakened a Voting Rights Act.
[00:23:00]  Do you have that image, Rob, of shows all the states of what the plus minus is?
[00:23:04]  You know the one that we showed a couple days ago?
[00:23:07]  The Northeast?
[00:23:08]  Oh, my God.
[00:23:08]  No, not the Northeast.
[00:23:09]  The Southeast, I think, is the one.
[00:23:13]  Yeah, we just showed it a couple days ago.
[00:23:16]  When you see, Vinny, have you seen this?
[00:23:17]  I have.
[00:23:18]  It is unbelievable.
[00:23:20]  We just showed it two days ago.
[00:23:21]  It's the one that I saw the middle.
[00:23:22]  It was like all the way in the middle.
[00:23:23]  It was cut out.
[00:23:24]  I think it's a first row.
[00:23:26]  Yeah, if you zoom into this one, okay, is it an image or is it a video?
[00:23:33]  See if you can zoom in.
[00:23:34]  There's one of them.
[00:23:34]  We showed it a couple days ago.
[00:23:36]  Anyways, let me just read this and then Rob will find it on why this.
[00:23:40]  Well, Tom, I'll come to you here.
[00:23:41]  Why is this such a big deal?
[00:23:42]  Rob, I'll find it and send it to you.
[00:23:44]  Right.
[00:23:45]  It's such a big deal because something that was good becomes bad in the hands of government.
[00:23:52]  Like once upon a time, your money was good.
[00:23:54]  As soon as they get it, they spend it twice and put you in debt.
[00:23:57]  So what happened was once upon a time, They had the Voting Rights Act because they wanted to make sure that all people everywhere had the right to vote.
[00:24:06]  Citizens had the right to vote.
[00:24:08]  This is a good thing.
[00:24:09]  But then what they did, and by the way, this has got fingerprints all the way to the Southern Poverty Law Center, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:24:17]  They all said, well, we need a district here that's more like this.
[00:24:23]  We need a district here that's more like that.
[00:24:25]  So they started drawing lines, Pat, to create, well, we think it would be more fair.
[00:24:31]  Well, wait, who's making the decision?

=== Gerrymandering Threatens Democracy (15:42) ===

[00:24:33]  We.
[00:24:34]  We who?
[00:24:35]  We are.
[00:24:36]  And Democrats started drawing odd districts rather than territorial districts.
[00:24:43]  Now, each district needs to have a certain number of citizens in it.
[00:24:47]  So most people said, well, why don't we draw these districts so that they have the number of citizens and make them reasonably sized?
[00:24:54]  Why reasonably sized?
[00:24:56]  Well, so that Vinny, as congressman, could serve all the people in a given area and that it rains on them the same way, the economy is the same way, and Vinny can serve them.
[00:25:05]  Instead, they made these bizarre districts, and I'll let you get to this one quick.
[00:25:09]  This right here.
[00:25:10]  So, if you look at this, Vinny, this is current, and that's what's going to happen on the right after the Supreme Court ruling.
[00:25:16]  So, you see the blue, they call the bottom left the one on Louisiana all the way to the left.
[00:25:19]  You see that how it looks like?
[00:25:20]  Yeah, that's the one that's.
[00:25:21]  They call that the snake, yes.
[00:25:22]  So, this was racial gerrymandering, is what they call it.
[00:25:27]  There's partisan, there's bipartisan, there's racial.
[00:25:29]  They're calling this, the Supreme Court ruled that this is racial gerrymandering.
[00:25:34]  Democrats held 24 seats in these states.
[00:25:37]  Now, after what just passed, Vinny, Republicans gained 12 more seats, including nine without Section 2 of the VRA.
[00:25:45]  Florida alone picked up four new seats with this new ruling.
[00:25:50]  So, the reason why this is very important, even if they win the midterms, it may not matter because you're going to have to beat out more than these seats.
[00:25:59]  That's what caused Barack Obama to get out of bed to tweet.
[00:26:01]  He doesn't tweet like Trump tweet.
[00:26:02]  No.
[00:26:03]  His tweets are once a week.
[00:26:04]  He's a scheduled guy, he's got stuff to do.
[00:26:06]  He's very busy.
[00:26:07]  So, You know, the Republicans you're celebrating saying this could be a massive thing.
[00:26:11]  So now the Democrats are sitting around saying, what are we going to do next?
[00:26:15]  What can we do ourselves?
[00:26:16]  This is the challenge.
[00:26:17]  Tom, go ahead, continue.
[00:26:18]  Now, Kathy Hochul speaks up.
[00:26:21]  Oh my gosh, my gosh, my gosh.
[00:26:23]  But then she gets busted.
[00:26:25]  Rob, show the map.
[00:26:27]  Kathy Hochul helped draw this one in New York.
[00:26:32]  Yeah, that really makes it easy for a House of Representatives to serve the people.
[00:26:37]  You go all the way down Manhattan, cross the bridge, go on the backside of here.
[00:26:41]  Go around here, make a left, and then go down to another group of people.
[00:26:45]  This is gerrymandering where they're trying to determine the outcome, right?
[00:26:49]  Because when natural boundaries of cities, areas, states were not to their preferences, then what do they want to put?
[00:26:59]  They want to put DEI.
[00:27:00]  What do they want to put?
[00:27:01]  They want to put the gerrymandering.
[00:27:03]  And then remember, rule one accuse the other guy of what you're doing, of what you're guilty of.
[00:27:08]  Correct.
[00:27:11]  To cover up the fact that you're doing it anyway.
[00:27:13]  And that's what happened here.
[00:27:14]  And so now the gerrymandering of these bizarre districts goes back.
[00:27:20]  Now, Pat, there's still going to be arguments of wait, should that square district be two miles to the west of town or two miles to the east?
[00:27:28]  So there's still going to be arguments on this.
[00:27:31]  But when you get more natural looking districts, look at what happens.
[00:27:34]  The South is inherently conservative, the Northeast will still be liberal, but you won't have this bizarre here because ask yourself a question.
[00:27:42]  Take a look at that, Adam.
[00:27:44]  Do you think that, if you were the congressman in New York, Adam, do you think that map there that he just showed, does that make it easy for you to serve the people?
[00:27:52]  How do you serve the people?
[00:27:53]  It's a long walk and you got to make a right, left, and you got to, like, it's very complicated.
[00:27:57]  And all this, all this, all this, because this party has zero leaders, Pat, with any policy.
[00:28:04]  So these are the little games that they have to play.
[00:28:06]  And notice how now the Republicans have to play the game back at them.
[00:28:09]  But why don't you have a good freaking leader?
[00:28:11]  Have somebody to step up with policies.
[00:28:13]  This doesn't even have to, you have to worry about this, Tom.
[00:28:15]  Does that make sense?
[00:28:16]  Adam, your thoughts.
[00:28:18]  Look, at the end of the day, the Supreme Court basically said, yeah, enough with the racism.
[00:28:24]  You're drawing districts and gerrymandering and redistricting and everything you're doing based on race.
[00:28:29]  I think specifically black people.
[00:28:32]  That's what they're doing.
[00:28:33]  Now, it'd be a very weird situation if everybody in the country had to robotically vote based on their race.
[00:28:40]  The whites vote for this, the blacks vote for this, Latinos vote for this, the Jews, they're confused.
[00:28:45]  They don't know where to go these days.
[00:28:47]  But you know who's loving this right now?
[00:28:50]  One group.
[00:28:50]  The NFL.
[00:28:51]  Why?
[00:28:52]  Because the NFL has been telling us for years that we need to end racism.
[00:28:57]  It's in all the end zones.
[00:28:58]  The NBA also.
[00:29:00]  They're doing the bubble.
[00:29:01]  The social justice warriors.
[00:29:02]  Guys, we're ending racism methodically.
[00:29:06]  So now the whole conversation is going to be about midterms.
[00:29:08]  You remember four years ago, they were talking about the big red wave that was supposedly coming and it was like a red teardrop because it didn't happen.
[00:29:15]  Now, maybe, just maybe, PBD is this alleged blue wave that's coming.
[00:29:21]  Might not come at all, so we'll see what happens.
[00:29:23]  At the end of the day, it comes down to he who controls the map controls the power.
[00:29:28]  I think Republicans just said, uh uh uh, checkmate, here's what we got from the Supreme Court.
[00:29:32]  You know what I would say?
[00:29:34]  He who controls the Supreme Court controls a lot of things.
[00:29:38]  Yeah, six to three.
[00:29:39]  Are you flipping kidding me?
[00:29:41]  You said that 2020.
[00:29:42]  I said the most important thing that has happened is these guys, is the fact that it's six to three, and one of them is not well right now, and it's on the left, so he may even be.
[00:29:52]  That it could end up being a 7-2 before he's done with.
[00:29:55]  That's a very important.
[00:29:56]  Who's on the left that's not doing well?
[00:29:57]  Who was the one that was not doing well?
[00:29:58]  It's the gentleman that's 73, 74 years old.
[00:30:01]  He had a hospital scare recently.
[00:30:02]  Alito?
[00:30:03]  I think it's Alito.
[00:30:04]  No, but he's full on conservative.
[00:30:07]  Not Alito.
[00:30:08]  No, not Alito.
[00:30:08]  It was another one that wasn't doing well.
[00:30:10]  Clarence Thomas?
[00:30:11]  He's the most conservative.
[00:30:12]  No, not conservative.
[00:30:13]  It was somebody on the left.
[00:30:14]  RBG?
[00:30:15]  I don't know who it is.
[00:30:15]  RBG.
[00:30:16]  Rest for souls.
[00:30:19]  I don't recall that.
[00:30:20]  I think the three on the left are still my own.
[00:30:23]  This is a very.
[00:30:26]  Very, very, very big situation here.
[00:30:31]  Very, very big situation.
[00:30:32]  Oh, he was a conservative.
[00:30:33]  Alito was on the conservative side.
[00:30:34]  I thought it was somebody on the other side.
[00:30:36]  Sometimes they vote for a dissenting party.
[00:30:38]  Even if that goes, they're still going to maintain a 6 3.
[00:30:41]  This is probably more than being a president.
[00:30:44]  This control here with the Supreme Court is massive.
[00:30:47]  Because if this was the other way around, 6 3, what do you think happens right now?
[00:30:50]  Over.
[00:30:50]  This racial gerrymandering continues.
[00:30:53]  And it's the whole DEI conversations, fairness, all this stuff.
[00:30:56]  So, anyways.
[00:30:57]  This is a good thing.
[00:30:58]  This is a good thing, not for everybody, but this is a good thing for a lot of people.
[00:31:01]  The next one I want to get into is Comey.
[00:31:04]  So, while all this stuff is going on, next thing you know, a story comes out.
[00:31:08]  Even Vinny was like hopeful.
[00:31:10]  It's like, wait a minute, is there actually going to be accountability?
[00:31:14]  So, you mean to tell me Comey went and, you know, took him, surrendered himself to the police?
[00:31:21]  Yes.
[00:31:21]  That did not happen.
[00:31:22]  Yes.
[00:31:24]  Which clip do you have, Rob?
[00:31:25]  With James Comey going out there and surrendering to the police?
[00:31:28]  I have CNN reporting that he turned himself into police.
[00:31:31]  Okay, go for it.
[00:31:31]  Play that one first.
[00:31:32]  Major breaking news on the new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey.
[00:31:36]  We've learned that Comey has just surrendered himself at a federal courthouse in Virginia.
[00:31:39]  This is massive.
[00:31:40]  Facing a new set of charges, all because of a social media post.
[00:31:43]  All because of it.
[00:31:44]  That's it.
[00:31:45]  Not all you know.
[00:31:46]  That's it.
[00:31:46]  Not all you know.
[00:31:47]  Yeah.
[00:31:47]  Comey posted this photo to Instagram last year showing shells on a beach spelling out 8647.
[00:31:54]  That's right.
[00:31:55]  86 is slang for getting rid of or cutting someone off at a bar.
[00:31:59]  Trump, of course, is the 47th president.
[00:32:02]  Prosecutors say that is a clear threat.
[00:32:04]  Comey, though, says he is innocent.
[00:32:08]  Okay.
[00:32:08]  Well, they're back.
[00:32:10]  This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago.
[00:32:16]  And this won't be the end of it.
[00:32:19]  But nothing has changed with me.
[00:32:20]  I'm still innocent.
[00:32:22]  I'm still not afraid.
[00:32:24]  And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.
[00:32:27]  So let's go.
[00:32:29]  Oh.
[00:32:30]  Pause the right thing.
[00:32:30]  And then Trump had a couple thoughts to say about it, Rob, if I'm not mistaken.
[00:32:33]  You have that one as well?
[00:32:35]  But do you really think your life was in danger?
[00:32:37]  Probably.
[00:32:37]  I don't know.
[00:32:38]  You know, based on what I'm seeing out there, yeah, the people like Comey have created tremendous danger, I think, for politicians and others.
[00:32:50]  You know, Comey is a dirty cop.
[00:32:51]  He's a very dirty cop.
[00:32:54]  He cheated on the elections.
[00:32:55]  He tried to help Hillary Clinton, as you know.
[00:32:59]  He dismissed a lot of things that he should have proceeded with.
[00:33:02]  I wasn't involved, but he should have proceeded with.
[00:33:05]  No, he's a dirty cop.
[00:33:06]  He's a crooked man, yeah.
[00:33:08]  So I want to let everybody know.
[00:33:09]  And Rob, I sent you some stuff on Slack.
[00:33:11]  And also, I'm going to show you something.
[00:33:13]  I got into another argument that's still happening right now with ChatGPT.
[00:33:17]  It's in complete denial that Comey was indicted.
[00:33:19]  And I'll do an exercise with Rob here in a second.
[00:33:21]  Guys, for everybody that's saying, Oh, they're going after Comey.
[00:33:26]  It's political.
[00:33:27]  Do me a favor, shut up, okay?
[00:33:30]  A grand jury indicted Comey, okay?
[00:33:33]  Not the Department of Justice.
[00:33:34]  The grand jury sits in a courtroom and they hear evidence and came back with a two count indictment.
[00:33:39]  And his indictments are number one, knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life and to inflict bodily harm on the president.
[00:33:47]  And second, knowingly and willfully transmitting an interstate commerce threat to kill the president.
[00:33:53]  That means you're on social media, you're out there, and you're putting it out in the world.
[00:33:57]  Now, and Rob, these are the links that I sent you.
[00:34:01]  The DOJ is now pushing to seize Comey's profits from his crime book, as prosecutors believe part of the reason he posted a threat on Trump's life was to drum up book sales.
[00:34:12]  The forfeit action includes, and Comey's indictment points out that Comey posted the threat five days before the book release, which was May 2nd, 2025.
[00:34:21]  His IG shows 8647 was surrounded by the book promo post, and the indictment demands Comey forfeits.
[00:34:27]  Of to the United States, any property real or personal which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to said offense.
[00:34:35]  And Pat, this is his book.
[00:34:36]  This is his Comey.
[00:34:38]  He's bragging about the book.
[00:34:39]  And look at what's in the book.
[00:34:40]  It says, former director Comey reunites with propagandists of his first legal thrillers for his strongest outline yet.
[00:34:48]  The U.S. attorney Carmen Garcia is trying to take down Samuel Buchanan.
[00:34:51]  This is in the book, a far right media personality with a popular podcast, vilifying those he thinks are destroying America.
[00:34:59]  Ready for this?
[00:34:59]  This is the part.
[00:35:00]  Intellectuals, immigrants, and people of color.
[00:35:02]  Here we go.
[00:35:03]  Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the First Amendment when he signaled out his enemies by name and suggested something should be done about them.
[00:35:13]  His fans have obliged killing or grievously injuring some of his foes.
[00:35:18]  Tell me that's not a freaking dog whistle about his stupid book and him trying to call it out.
[00:35:22]  And let's all, let's just all take a moment.
[00:35:25]  Stop playing this game pack because I keep hearing it from the left.
[00:35:28]  No, he just stumbled.
[00:35:29]  You believe he stumbled upon shells that said 8647.
[00:35:34]  You're lying to yourself.
[00:35:35]  And do me a favor, Rob.
[00:35:37]  Go to ChatGPT.
[00:35:38]  I hope yours is different than mine because mine won't do it.
[00:35:40]  Go to ChatGPT.
[00:35:42]  I put, was James Comey indicted on two counts?
[00:35:46]  Let's see if it does it because it's not doing it for me.
[00:35:49]  Watch this, Pat.
[00:35:50]  Let's see.
[00:35:51]  I think it might do it for you.
[00:35:53]  It's not doing it for me.
[00:35:54]  Let's see.
[00:35:55]  Oh, yes.
[00:35:56]  Okay.
[00:35:56]  Mine, and I'll show you right now, Pat, just so I want to prove to everybody out here.
[00:36:01]  Mine says what?
[00:36:02]  My chat GBT is saying what?
[00:36:04]  No, James Comey has not been indicted.
[00:36:06]  There's no confirmed charge from the U.S. Department of Justice, no court ruling.
[00:36:11]  And I've been going back with this thing for hours.
[00:36:13]  Did you see the argument?
[00:36:14]  But I want, and I'll admit it, I didn't have that much hope, but I didn't give it up.
[00:36:19]  This is what I'm talking about.
[00:36:22]  You do the crime, you're going to pay the price.
[00:36:24]  And let's see.
[00:36:25]  Let's see if it sticks.
[00:36:26]  Because again, he's indicted.
[00:36:28]  It's going to go in front of the grand jury.
[00:36:30]  The case is going to be heard.
[00:36:32]  But I'm happy, Pat.
[00:36:33]  Something is happening.
[00:36:35]  Was he on the auto pen?
[00:36:38]  Was he pardoned, James Comey?
[00:36:40]  Was he?
[00:36:41]  Check to see if Comey was pardoned.
[00:36:42]  Was he pardoned, Rob?
[00:36:44]  That's something I want to know.
[00:36:45]  I don't think he was.
[00:36:45]  I know Fauci was, and we'll get into that story.
[00:36:48]  No, he wasn't.
[00:36:49]  Okay.
[00:36:50]  So this is a good sign.
[00:36:51]  And this proves what Todd Blanche is doing, Pat.
[00:36:54]  Todd Blanche, you have to give this guy credit.
[00:36:56]  In less than a month, this is happening.
[00:36:59]  SPLC is happening for the funding of the KKK.
[00:37:02]  Fauci's advisor, we're going to get to.
[00:37:03]  The COVID Somalia daycare.
[00:37:05]  He is not.
[00:37:06]  Brennan's under investigation.
[00:37:07]  The January 6th liar, Cassidy Hutchinson's getting investigated.
[00:37:11]  He's not playing games.
[00:37:12]  And I absolutely love it.
[00:37:13]  And this proves.
[00:37:14]  I think the Brennan investigation, they dropped.
[00:37:16]  They did?
[00:37:16]  Yeah, they dropped immediately.
[00:37:18]  But in less than a month.
[00:37:19]  But he's doing it.
[00:37:19]  Look what he's doing.
[00:37:20]  Yeah.
[00:37:20]  Is this Todd Blanche speaking?
[00:37:22]  Go for it.
[00:37:23]  The Justice Department in this filing today also issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Comey.
[00:37:30]  Is it your belief that he is a continued public threat?
[00:37:34]  And is there a request also for detention that you anticipate will be made in this case?
[00:37:41]  So, the Department of Justice does not issue arrest warrants, grand juries do.
[00:37:45]  And so, the grand jury returned an indictment and arrest warrant.
[00:37:48]  I expect that there will be communication with Mr. Comey's counsel, and we'll go from there.
[00:37:55]  This case will proceed like hundreds of others do every year.
[00:37:59]  There will be some sort of arraignment set by the judge or assigned to the magistrate judge.
[00:38:05]  And when that happens, you'll know about it.
[00:38:08]  This is big, by the way.
[00:38:09]  This could be very, very real, Tom.
[00:38:11]  So, first of all, I think it's still shocking that reporters that could do basic research about process, just like we do, don't do that.
[00:38:19]  And they attempt to ask these gotcha questions.
[00:38:21]  Or they do the research and they still ask a gotcha question.
[00:38:24]  So the reporting just disappoints me yet again.
[00:38:27]  Doesn't surprise me.
[00:38:28]  But the other side of it here is, There's two things that just happened in the past week that I connected the dots on, and it really bothers me.
[00:38:35]  And I was talking to one of my daughters about it last night.
[00:38:38]  The first is Cole Thomas Allen puts a manifesto out, and then everybody puts on Twitter, I mean, everybody, many significant people, including Obama himself, put out on Twitter, gosh, we don't understand what the motive is.
[00:38:52]  We don't understand what's going on.
[00:38:53]  Although, although, although, yeah, right, we don't have that.
[00:38:59]  And, you know, we turn down the rhetoric, and finally, a few people.
[00:39:03]  Like, you know, Van Jones, I appreciated what Van Jones said on CNN.
[00:39:07]  He was measured.
[00:39:08]  He kind of, did you see this, Pat?
[00:39:09]  He kind of slowed down a bit and he said, I'm a little worried about what's happening here.
[00:39:13]  We played it.
[00:39:14]  So, and some people are there thinking about it, but you've got, oh, we don't know what this is.
[00:39:20]  When the top law enforcement officer in the United States at the time, you know, now goes walking a beach in 8647, that's a call, that's an encouragement, that's an angry statement that he's putting out there.
[00:39:36]  And we wonder how Cole Thomas Allen and others feel enabled or feel that they're validated.
[00:39:44]  Or they, and he writes in there about how he's do who he's apologizing for and who he's doing it for.
[00:39:51]  And to me, you can't have it both ways.
[00:39:54]  You can't say, I got no idea how a guy like Toll Thomas Allen gets radicalized.
[00:39:58]  Well, he wasn't radicalized by a particular, you know, group of people that he was hanging out with, it was just he reached his breaking point.
[00:40:07]  But what's he reading every day?
[00:40:08]  What's he looking at?
[00:40:09]  Maybe a leader doing things like this?
[00:40:11]  I mean, it just disgusts me, Pat, because I look at it that way.

=== Strategic Comey Email Moves (02:16) ===

[00:40:16]  Now, the one thing I will say about Comey, I think this was strategic by Comey.
[00:40:19]  If you go in and surrender, I don't think you get the perp walk.
[00:40:23]  And what he didn't want was somebody to come to his door and knock on the door pat and say, Hey, James, you got to come with us.
[00:40:30]  You know, we got to go do the process.
[00:40:32]  We got to process you.
[00:40:33]  Yep.
[00:40:33]  Okay.
[00:40:34]  And get in the back of a car.
[00:40:35]  I think he was being strategic about it, didn't want to have all those pictures on social media and everything.
[00:40:42]  So he goes in and says, Hey, guys, I'm surrendering here.
[00:40:46]  Let's do the processing.
[00:40:47]  So it's done more quietly.
[00:40:49]  I think it was strategic because he's trying to keep it out of the public eye.
[00:40:52]  And then he goes home and makes this little cute little video that he puts out.
[00:40:56]  And he's been by the way, let's not forget who James Comey is, Pat.
[00:40:59]  He's been around since the Hillary and then changing the charging dock, all the stuff that they did, Russia collusion, everything.
[00:41:05]  This is, he's not.
[00:41:06]  Trump fired this guy.
[00:41:07]  Adam.
[00:41:08]  Guys, I got to be honest with you.
[00:41:10]  I think you're overblowing this big time.
[00:41:12]  Really?
[00:41:12]  I think you're making much ado about nothing.
[00:41:15]  You know who's loving this more than anybody right now?
[00:41:18]  James Comey.
[00:41:19]  Because here's a guy who nobody's thought of in years, and all of a sudden he's the most relevant guy in politics, James Comey.
[00:41:25]  So Trump doesn't like him now.
[00:41:27]  But I remember one thing in about 2016, a couple weeks before the election, you know who hated him more than anybody?
[00:41:35]  Hillary Clinton.
[00:41:37]  Because a lot of people blame Trump winning and Hillary losing on one person, James Comey.
[00:41:44]  Because he came out there, I want to say 10 days before the election, talking about Hillary's emails, Hillary's emails, Hillary's emails came out there.
[00:41:51]  Needlessly, he did a press conference.
[00:41:53]  He's like, All right, guys, we're not charging Hillary, but damn, she's sloppy.
[00:41:59]  11 days before the presidential election, you could honestly say that James Comey helped Trump get elected, much like the Hunter Biden laptop, New York Post hole bearing the story helped Biden get elected.
[00:42:13]  So be careful what you wish for.
[00:42:15]  I don't think anything's going to happen.
[00:42:16]  I don't think, listen, two things can be true at once.
[00:42:20]  I think James Comey's playing stupid.
[00:42:22]  I don't know what 86. 47 means I just saw it on the seashells.
[00:42:26]  I have no clue.
[00:42:27]  Although I'm the greatest sleuth in the world, FBI director, I don't know what that means.

=== Staged Phone Alert Scenarios (08:40) ===

[00:42:32]  Yeah.
[00:42:32]  Okay.
[00:42:33]  But at the same time, I think he's playing dumb on all this.
[00:42:36]  I think all of that stuff, all of that stuff that they talk about when they act, I saw Lena Haba, rock star, on The View, and they were talking, they're going back and forth and saying, 86 doesn't mean that.
[00:42:45]  Have you looked at the dictionary, Sonny Holstein?
[00:42:47]  And she's like, you know exactly what 86 47 means.
[00:42:51]  Like, don't act like you don't know.
[00:42:52]  Well, what's the proof of it?
[00:42:54]  Three assassination attempts.
[00:42:55]  Yep.
[00:42:56]  What else do you want to say?
[00:42:57]  By the way, a clip came up about this Cole Thomas Allen, Tomas Allen.
[00:43:01]  I want to say the H isn't there.
[00:43:03]  Cole Thomas Allen.
[00:43:04]  Vinny just showed me, Rob, do you want to show this clip?
[00:43:06]  A couple things.
[00:43:06]  When you think about security, is this the one or zooms in?
[00:43:11]  How the hell does this guy go in?
[00:43:14]  And Vinny says it.
[00:43:15]  I'm going to give credit to Vinny.
[00:43:17]  Dog is following him, Vinny.
[00:43:18]  Yep.
[00:43:18]  And you told me, and this is a real clip.
[00:43:20]  The dog follows him in.
[00:43:22]  The guy's with a shotgun.
[00:43:23]  Then watch what happens seconds later.
[00:43:25]  That's a canine.
[00:43:26]  Watch the top left corner.
[00:43:27]  Pat, so the canine's in there.
[00:43:29]  Something's obviously hidden.
[00:43:30]  By the way, that's why my brother does this for a living.
[00:43:32]  My brother trains freaking canine dogs.
[00:43:34]  Just watch.
[00:43:34]  The dog is marked, like something's happening.
[00:43:36]  And then he's talking to the shooter.
[00:43:38]  And then he walks away.
[00:43:39]  And then he runs out.
[00:43:39]  Boom.
[00:43:40]  With a shotgun.
[00:43:40]  The dude comes out with a shotgun.
[00:43:41]  Look at this.
[00:43:42]  Oh, wow.
[00:43:43]  Is that crazy?
[00:43:45]  And by the way, go back 10 seconds.
[00:43:46]  Look at this.
[00:43:47]  Go back 10 seconds.
[00:43:47]  Just watch this.
[00:43:48]  Go ahead.
[00:43:48]  Keep playing it.
[00:43:51]  So the dog's in there.
[00:43:52]  Obviously, something's up.
[00:43:53]  The dog's on him.
[00:43:54]  Right there.
[00:43:56]  Pause it right there and pause and see what everybody is looking at.
[00:43:59]  So the two on the wall, they're looking to the left.
[00:44:02]  The guy on the right, he's scoping around.
[00:44:04]  The two cops are taking down the.
[00:44:06]  Metal detector.
[00:44:08]  The one in the top left with the blue, he's watching Instagram Reels.
[00:44:12]  The one on the bottom left.
[00:44:14]  The one on the bottom left.
[00:44:14]  He'll be watching the BBD podcast.
[00:44:16]  And so keep it going.
[00:44:18]  They're doing their jobs, but then watch what happens.
[00:44:20]  Suddenly, they're all looking to the left.
[00:44:21]  This is like just bad timing.
[00:44:23]  Yeah.
[00:44:23]  You'll see because that guy to the right starts looking to his left.
[00:44:27]  And then he goes, oh, he sees that person moving and the timing, boom.
[00:44:30]  And then the guy.
[00:44:31]  Did he shoot him?
[00:44:32]  He shot.
[00:44:34]  And then they come out of the door.
[00:44:35]  Look at the top right door.
[00:44:36]  Opens up with two people coming in ready.
[00:44:38]  She looks ready.
[00:44:39]  She's ready to go.
[00:44:40]  Okay.
[00:44:41]  But it's like this.
[00:44:42]  Whack, he's fast.
[00:44:43]  Oh, but you want to see something else here that was very interesting.
[00:44:45]  I was watching last night.
[00:44:47]  Back this up.
[00:44:49]  Back this up.
[00:44:51]  People are saying that the law enforcement are covering something up.
[00:44:54]  That the cop in the lower left actually shot and hit the cop above the metal detector in the chest on the bulletproof vest.
[00:45:03]  He didn't hit the suspect.
[00:45:05]  If you look down low, because watch what happens to the cop on the upper wall.
[00:45:09]  Fast forward 10 seconds.
[00:45:10]  Slow, slow, slow.
[00:45:11]  Yeah, go, Robbie.
[00:45:12]  Watch the cop on the upper wall.
[00:45:13]  The lower cop fires and the middle cop.
[00:45:16]  On the wall, there drops like a sack of potatoes.
[00:45:19]  Oh, yeah, in the middle of the top behind the.
[00:45:21]  And this guy comes back.
[00:45:22]  Are you okay?
[00:45:22]  You okay?
[00:45:24]  Ugh, see?
[00:45:24]  He hit him in the vest.
[00:45:26]  He hit him in the vest.
[00:45:26]  He's trying to breathe.
[00:45:28]  She, I think it's a she.
[00:45:29]  You don't have to say sack of potatoes.
[00:45:31]  He fell.
[00:45:31]  She fell.
[00:45:32]  I think it's a she.
[00:45:32]  She fell because she got shot.
[00:45:34]  Yeah, so playback speed here decreased.
[00:45:38]  But when you think about it, this is where people start questioning.
[00:45:40]  The failure of security, bro.
[00:45:41]  Yeah, but I, listen, I'm just going to push back on this a little bit because I've been in this building.
[00:45:47]  Do you know how close he was to the president here when he ran here?
[00:45:49]  He was on a different floor.
[00:45:51]  No, you could hear the shooting.
[00:45:52]  You could hear it, of course.
[00:45:53]  Just like we heard a shooting half a block away.
[00:45:56]  He was on a different floor.
[00:45:57]  So, this guy's plan was to run past screening, clearance, all these guns, go down the stairs.
[00:46:03]  That's where allegedly Wolf Blitzer saw him and he had no shoe on or something like that.
[00:46:08]  So, as much as this guy had a plan, which was ridiculous, the machine was going to be in the hallways of the hotel.
[00:46:14]  Yeah.
[00:46:14]  He wasn't anywhere close to the president.
[00:46:16]  But, Adam, not even close to the president.
[00:46:18]  But if you think about it, look how many people are around a guy that's wearing all black.
[00:46:23]  Is carrying something, goes in a room, the dog is triggering on him.
[00:46:26]  Look at this guy.
[00:46:27]  That's him in his room, bro.
[00:46:28]  He has guns and stuff.
[00:46:29]  That's a high IQ walk right there.
[00:46:30]  Look at that.
[00:46:31]  Yeah, very educated.
[00:46:31]  He's saying he has a very high IQ.
[00:46:33]  He took a selfie before?
[00:46:34]  Oh, yeah.
[00:46:35]  Oh, by the way, this was all a setup.
[00:46:37]  All the theorists out there, this is all fake.
[00:46:40]  This isn't real, by the way.
[00:46:41]  Oh, yeah.
[00:46:41]  Coming in the gym.
[00:46:42]  It's not real.
[00:46:43]  People were saying that this was staged.
[00:46:45]  This is staged.
[00:46:45]  What was?
[00:46:46]  This whole thing was staged, Adam.
[00:46:48]  I don't know.
[00:46:49]  I'm not following what you're saying.
[00:46:50]  How do you mean?
[00:46:50]  There are people on social.
[00:46:52]  You already lost me.
[00:46:54]  You already lost me.
[00:46:55]  This was a setup.
[00:46:56]  This is not real.
[00:46:57]  Left and right.
[00:46:58]  This is a staged event.
[00:47:00]  Because he wants to build the ballroom.
[00:47:03]  This guy, this California guy.
[00:47:05]  Yeah.
[00:47:06]  You know why?
[00:47:07]  So, to me, a part of it is a part of this when you look at this is, you know, even when we have security, and we have security with us all the time, and I'll watch them, my guys, I'll watch them, and I'll say, like, if we go to a place and when they're alert, they're alert.
[00:47:26]  But when they're not, I'm like, what would I do?
[00:47:29]  What would a bad guy do right now when they're not alert?
[00:47:32]  You have plenty of time, if you think about it.
[00:47:35]  You have plenty of time.
[00:47:37]  The amount of alertness you need today, It's like immediate alertness.
[00:47:43]  And the biggest distraction cops and Secret Service have today that they didn't have 20 years ago is what?
[00:47:48]  Sell their phone.
[00:47:50]  I go to church.
[00:47:51]  Honestly, I go to every Sunday when we go to this church.
[00:47:54]  Won't say which one it is.
[00:47:55]  When we go to this church, the same female cop is standing to the right.
[00:48:01]  Vinnie, the entire time she just looks at her phone.
[00:48:05]  And I say to myself, What purpose are you serving here?
[00:48:09]  None.
[00:48:10]  Nothing.
[00:48:10]  Nope.
[00:48:10]  Go home.
[00:48:12]  I wanted to go to the pastor and say, Fire this person, bring somebody else in, ask them to take their freaking phones away while they're working and you're paying them.
[00:48:20]  Yeah.
[00:48:21]  Because they literally stand there and they're just like this.
[00:48:24]  While there's security on Sunday services coming in and out.
[00:48:28]  And then what are you going to happen?
[00:48:29]  And you see the cameras.
[00:48:31]  Yep.
[00:48:31]  And I walk with Tico and Dylan, they're like, look at this.
[00:48:34]  Why are you even here?
[00:48:35]  I want to go tell her and say, can I ask you a question?
[00:48:36]  Like, what are you doing here?
[00:48:37]  Yeah.
[00:48:37]  What are you doing here?
[00:48:38]  But I'm not the person that's paying them.
[00:48:40]  So sometimes, you know, with the distractions that we have, one funny moment with this whole thing is, This lady here asks him, Would you be wearing a bulletproof vest?
[00:48:49]  This is brilliant.
[00:48:50]  Okay, and Trump, of course, his answer, he was ready.
[00:48:54]  Go ahead, Tom.
[00:48:55]  Is there talks about you potentially wearing a bulletproof vest moving forward, given you have now been shot at?
[00:49:01]  I don't know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavy.
[00:49:07]  That's good, man.
[00:49:07]  That's self deprecation.
[00:49:10]  You got to be honest.
[00:49:12]  They're even laughing.
[00:49:15]  Some of these guys are the best.
[00:49:16]  He's kind of cute.
[00:49:17]  He's kind of cute.
[00:49:18]  By the way, I have to agree with you what you're saying on the cell phone.
[00:49:20]  Thing.
[00:49:21]  I mean, how many rules are we seeing established in schools?
[00:49:24]  Kids got to be off the cell phone, right?
[00:49:26]  Dinners, we do dinners, cell phones off.
[00:49:28]  You know, when Shabbat dinner, if you ever do that, no cell phones, just being together.
[00:49:34]  One thing that I agree with you is if you're working and you're protecting the president, get off Instagram, dude.
[00:49:40]  Get off TikTok, especially.
[00:49:42]  Be in the moment.
[00:49:43]  I think that's what you're saying, right?
[00:49:44]  Oh, that's exactly what I'm saying.
[00:49:46]  Like, for instance, when we're at the office and I'm doing meetings and they're sitting on the other side and doing their thing, I don't have a problem with that.
[00:49:52]  But when we're out in premises, I want you alert.
[00:49:56]  Yeah.
[00:49:57]  24 7 alert.
[00:49:58]  No phones, nothing.
[00:50:00]  And so, I mean, it's not like they were looking at their phones there anyway.
[00:50:05]  I'm not making any point with that.
[00:50:06]  All I'm saying is there's a lot of distractions today and you have to be alert on everything that you're doing.
[00:50:10]  You're in a hotel where the public's walking around.
[00:50:12]  At any point, anybody can do something.
[00:50:14]  The dog walks in and the guy's pulling back.
[00:50:17]  Because the dog is knowing something.
[00:50:18]  And then you haven't even seen the video before.
[00:50:21]  He goes in with a bag.
[00:50:22]  Yes.
[00:50:23]  Like to hide that, you have to be in a bag.
[00:50:25]  So he's in there, split second turns around, and then comes out.
[00:50:29]  Boom.
[00:50:29]  He walked in with a bag.
[00:50:30]  What the hell do you think is in a bag this big?
[00:50:32]  Golf clubs?
[00:50:33]  Yeah.
[00:50:34]  You know, it's.
[00:50:34]  Well, the president plays golf.
[00:50:36]  Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[00:50:37]  Not this one.
[00:50:38]  The other one here.
[00:50:38]  Maybe it's a gift.
[00:50:39]  Yeah, go up to the top clip-rop, the bottom one.
[00:50:42]  Go one down right there.
[00:50:44]  See if it shows that he walks in first.
[00:50:47]  Look, he's carrying a bag.
[00:50:48]  He's carrying a gun back.
[00:50:49]  He's carrying a shotgun.
[00:50:50]  Yeah.
[00:50:50]  A shotgun.
[00:50:51]  And you don't think what's in there, like, you don't think that sounds a little bit, looks a little bit.
[00:50:55]  So I don't know.
[00:50:56]  Man.
[00:50:57]  I think, you know, the president is.
[00:51:00]  A class act when he says they're doing their best, they're doing this, they're doing that.
[00:51:03]  He needs to say that.
[00:51:04]  The rest of the world needs to say, What the hell are you guys doing when it comes down to having a guy like that coming through and he's able to do what he's doing?

=== Wuhan Records and Accountability (14:47) ===

[00:51:13]  So I don't know.
[00:51:14]  I think security measures need to always be ready.
[00:51:16]  So this goes back to Comey.
[00:51:18]  Hey, Comey, you don't think that Seashell 8647 is a big deal?
[00:51:22]  You lose credibility when it happens at a moment like this.
[00:51:24]  So, by the way, the grand jury, the timing of it was perfect.
[00:51:27]  The perfect timing grand jury.
[00:51:29]  When do they do it?
[00:51:30]  After the third attempt.
[00:51:31]  Make the argument.
[00:51:33]  Make the argument.
[00:51:34]  Perfect timing.
[00:51:35]  On that.
[00:51:35]  Let me get to the next one.
[00:51:36]  What's going to happen with Comey, though?
[00:51:38]  I don't think.
[00:51:38]  Yeah, I don't think he's going to be able to read it.
[00:51:39]  By the way, that book that you talked about.
[00:51:40]  You know that book you talked about?
[00:51:41]  He said they're going to have to pay the money back for the book.
[00:51:43]  How many copies do you think that book sold?
[00:51:46]  Way more since he found that 8647 book.
[00:51:49]  20,000 copies.
[00:51:50]  That's it.
[00:51:51]  His memoir sold 600, 700,000 copies.
[00:51:54]  Oh, really?
[00:51:54]  That's a horrible book.
[00:51:55]  That book only sold 20,000 copies.
[00:51:57]  Good for him.
[00:51:58]  Even with 8647, nobody cared to read this book.
[00:52:01]  Wow.
[00:52:01]  Okay?
[00:52:02]  Nobody cared to read this book.
[00:52:03]  You would think the director of FBI, who is that famous, After 86 47, the book would have done more than 20,000 copies.
[00:52:10]  Go pull it up, 20,000 to 60,000 copies.
[00:52:14]  It was his least performing book.
[00:52:15]  So it's not like they're going to collect that much money back.
[00:52:18]  Go ahead and pull up the sales.
[00:52:19]  It's a couple hundred thousand dollars.
[00:52:20]  It didn't change his life.
[00:52:22]  But those types of behavior it impacts.
[00:52:23]  What do I think is going to happen to him?
[00:52:25]  Probably not much.
[00:52:26]  Not much is going to happen to him.
[00:52:27]  But I do think, even this, as they go through, do I think there's a 20% chance of having something that he has to do?
[00:52:36]  I think there is.
[00:52:37]  And I like that.
[00:52:37]  I like the 20.
[00:52:38]  Community service.
[00:52:39]  Have them go pick up trash on the beach.
[00:52:41]  Collect all the seashells on the beach.
[00:52:44]  Exactly.
[00:52:44]  I like that.
[00:52:45]  Let's get to the next story.
[00:52:46]  Next story here is, again, accountability.
[00:52:49]  Since we're on the topic of accountability, Fauci's business partner, Rob.
[00:52:52]  What page is that story with Fauci's business partner?
[00:52:55]  I don't believe it's in the prep, but I'll grab you this.
[00:52:56]  You want to pull that out because we just talked about it a couple days ago.
[00:53:00]  David Morenz, Pat.
[00:53:01]  He's a former senior advisor to Mr. Fauci.
[00:53:04]  Yeah.
[00:53:05]  So this comes out.
[00:53:07]  Pressure under DOJ to prosecute Anthony Fauci, grown after advisor indicted with days left to charge.
[00:53:13]  COVID lies.
[00:53:13]  If you go a little bit low and read this, the indictment of Dr. Anthony Fauci's former advisor, David Morris, Tuesday revived calls for the Justice Department to prosecute Fauci himself for allegedly lying to Congress about funding risky research in China before COVID 19.
[00:53:27]  Just two weeks remain before the five year deal legal deadline on May 11 to indict Fauci for denying under oath that he funded gain of function experiments that modified bath coronavirus in the same city where the pandemic started.
[00:53:40]  Morris, 78 years old, was charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of destruction.
[00:53:44]  Alteration or falsification of records in federal investigation and two counts of concealment, removal, or mutilation of records relating to the origins of COVID 19.
[00:53:54]  He faces up to 51 years in prison.
[00:53:59]  51 years in prison, Vinnie.
[00:54:02]  And again, giving credit when you said don't give up hope.
[00:54:06]  Todd Blanch is in there and all these things are happening, Pat.
[00:54:08]  By the way, so he served from 2006 to 2022.
[00:54:13]  That's pretty freaking long.
[00:54:14]  So what he's accused of.
[00:54:16]  Hiding and altering records during federal investigations into COVID 19.
[00:54:19]  By the way, there's a bunch of emails, Rob.
[00:54:21]  There's some screenshots of what they're actually doing.
[00:54:23]  Suppressed alternative theories about how the pandemic started.
[00:54:28]  When you hear that, when you hear these people, these are the senior advisors to everything COVID.
[00:54:33]  Tom, if you're suppressing the alternate theories, you know what you're trying to do?
[00:54:37]  You're trying to cover up that this thing came out of a lab that we own that they're running in freaking Wuhan, China.
[00:54:43]  Okay, so then when people like me say, you know what?
[00:54:45]  I think this thing might have been planned.
[00:54:47]  I think this thing might have been a leak for them to destroy the presidency because I don't care who's in charge, Tom.
[00:54:52]  If a pandemic hits during your presidency, you're not going to win the re election.
[00:54:58]  Period.
[00:54:58]  End of story.
[00:54:59]  Okay.
[00:55:00]  And I love that you said that, Pat.
[00:55:01]  His charges are conspiracy against the United States.
[00:55:06]  Full stop.
[00:55:07]  They conspired.
[00:55:08]  Destruction, alteration, and falsification of records, concealment or removal of records, and aiding and abetting.
[00:55:14]  Okay?
[00:55:15]  And then this is, Bob, the alleged indictment.
[00:55:18]  His co conspirators deliberately concealed all the information, Pat.
[00:55:21]  And what's beautiful about this, what's beautiful, Rand Paul laid it out perfectly.
[00:55:25]  He said, Fauci lied to Congress, felony.
[00:55:29]  Destroyed federal records, felony.
[00:55:31]  Advising others to destroy federal records is a felony.
[00:55:34]  Fauci did all three.
[00:55:36]  Okay, and if his advisor is indicted, that means he should be going down because May 11th, Pat, is a five year statute of limitation deadline for Fauci.
[00:55:44]  Even though Fauci, and this is how Trump is playing it beautifully with the timing, and nobody's been talking about the auto pen that he reversed, his May 11th is the deadline, but Fauci is pardoned.
[00:55:57]  This is where Trump is going to go.
[00:55:58]  By the way, they're all null and void.
[00:56:00]  Get him, indict him.
[00:56:01]  And that took place.
[00:56:02]  After May 11th.
[00:56:03]  After May 11th.
[00:56:03]  It has to happen before May 11th.
[00:56:05]  Happened before May 11th.
[00:56:06]  It has to happen before the deadline's gone.
[00:56:08]  Or else it's gone.
[00:56:09]  But I'm telling you right now, I don't want anything for my birthday.
[00:56:12]  I don't want anything for Christmas.
[00:56:14]  I don't want any gifts ever.
[00:56:16]  I want this guy because I think Dr. Fauci, Tony Fauci, is in charge, is responsible, Pat, for the millions of people that are gone, that have died, that lost their grandparents, that couldn't go to funerals, that couldn't see their loved ones dying in front of them.
[00:56:31]  All the stuff that they put us through, the turbo cancer that's happening right now that's exploding.
[00:56:35]  The young children in this freaking country that have myocarditis because of the decisions on purpose because of him.
[00:56:44]  There has to be accountability.
[00:56:45]  And he's the one.
[00:56:46]  He's the head of the snake.
[00:56:47]  And it has to be him, Pat.
[00:56:49]  And I pray that it happens.
[00:56:50]  Rob, what was that email you just pulled up a minute ago from 2021?
[00:56:53]  This is from David Morenz, where he wrote, and I'll read it this way.
[00:56:57]  Go ahead, Tom.
[00:56:58]  You are right.
[00:56:58]  I need to be more careful.
[00:57:00]  So he wrote this to someone.
[00:57:01]  However, as I mentioned before, I learned from our Freedom of Information Act lady here.
[00:57:08]  So someone that was in their office that counseled them on that.
[00:57:11]  How to make emails disappear after I am FOIA.
[00:57:15]  Now, after I am FOIAD, what FOIAD means is after I am served with the Freedom of Information Act disclosure, but before the search starts, so I think we're safe.
[00:57:29]  Plus, I deleted most of those emails after sending them to Gmail.
[00:57:33]  Oh, my goodness.
[00:57:34]  So the FBI could say, get his Gmail account, call Google, subpoena the whole thing, tell him to send the whole cloud index over here.
[00:57:42]  This clearly shows the conspiracy and the destruction of records and the rerouting.
[00:57:48]  Now, to suppress alternative theories, Vinny, that's not the crime.
[00:57:54]  And I really don't care about that because there could be 20 theories about how a medication works or doesn't work.
[00:57:59]  And the theories are in research.
[00:58:01]  What I love is the conspiracy to.
[00:58:04]  And I was waiting for them to use the obstruction of justice.
[00:58:07]  Where's the obstruction of justice clause?
[00:58:09]  But destroying records, rerouting, and then this smoking gun here.
[00:58:15]  This is great.
[00:58:15]  I'm just glad this guy, if he's convicted, is going to be in prison until his 129th.
[00:58:20]  Birthday because that's 51 years from today.
[00:58:23]  But, Tommy, do you feel where I'm coming from?
[00:58:24]  If you are actively, if you're in charge of this whole thing, you're the head of NIH and all these people.
[00:58:29]  No, I'm with you a thousand percent.
[00:58:30]  I just don't care about all of the headlines or trying to say suppressing theories.
[00:58:34]  I love the fact that destruction, rerouting, all of these things, they're catching all of the felony things of the actual acts.
[00:58:42]  But, yeah, but, but, Tommy, when they're altering and he's lying about the origins, you know what that's making people do?
[00:58:47]  Oh, it came from a bat.
[00:58:49]  That makes everybody look over here, Tommy, when we were saying, wait a minute.
[00:58:52]  This came out of a lab that we paid that we started under Obama.
[00:58:56]  So the fact that they were doing that, Tom, makes me think oh, then you guys might be in on it.
[00:59:00]  This, Tom, think about it.
[00:59:01]  This virus leaked in a country that we were basically at war with.
[00:59:05]  Trump was holding China accountable for trade.
[00:59:08]  And when they couldn't fight us on the battlefield, you know what they do, Tom?
[00:59:12]  Oh, this leaked.
[00:59:13]  This came out of a lab and it destroyed the world.
[00:59:15]  And when people go, you think China?
[00:59:18]  You think Xi Jinping?
[00:59:20]  Yes, I do, because I'm a Christian and I believe that evil.
[00:59:23]  Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12.
[00:59:24]  It's not flesh and blood, it's evil.
[00:59:26]  And these are what these people do, Tommy.
[00:59:28]  I'm as revved up as you are, but I can't prove what he knew or didn't know.
[00:59:32]  But I love the fact that there are several counts here talking about what he destroyed and didn't destroy and that email there.
[00:59:38]  So you look at what he was doing, and I can't prove that he was dirty on that.
[00:59:44]  I suspect it.
[00:59:45]  I think it.
[00:59:46]  There are allegations up the wazoo all the way to Wuhan.
[00:59:49]  But guess what?
[00:59:50]  That's the hard path to prove.
[00:59:52]  But why are you destroying all this?
[00:59:54]  So you find him guilty of the destruction, find him guilty of the obstruction, find him guilty of redirecting, and then find him guilty of his own freaking smoking gun with his own email.
[01:00:05]  Then guess what?
[01:00:07]  All of that, why was he doing it?
[01:00:08]  Well, the answer was he was covering up all this.
[01:00:11]  He was covering up all that.
[01:00:13]  But guess what?
[01:00:14]  This proves that this hopefully incarcerates this guy for a long time.
[01:00:20]  Fauci to follow.
[01:00:20]  And then you don't have to go through the longer path of what did he know and when did he know it, which is a really difficult legal test.
[01:00:27]  Adam, I believe that we need accountability for sure.
[01:00:30]  And the number one entity or person or thing that needs accountability, it ain't Fauci, it's China.
[01:00:37]  How quickly did we forget about that?
[01:00:38]  This started with the Wuhan lab, the Wuhan flu.
[01:00:43]  Like, I get that we're dealing with tariffs.
[01:00:45]  I get we're dealing with asymmetrical warfare.
[01:00:47]  We got, you know, a Cold War going on with China.
[01:00:49]  We have debates to fit tariffs, what's going on.
[01:00:51]  Listen, I get that why people are mad with Fauci.
[01:00:54]  I get it.
[01:00:56]  But I don't wake up every day thinking about Fauci.
[01:00:57]  I do wake up every day thinking about America's well being in the world and our global hegemony and who's coming after us, China.
[01:01:04]  And what has China done to be found accountable?
[01:01:07]  You know, the whole, remember that whole situation when, uh, John Stewart went on Colbert and he's like, You mean to tell me that it was a pendulum mixed with a penguin?
[01:01:16]  He's like, Or it could have been the Wuhan lab that caused the Wuhan flu.
[01:01:20]  So, the biggest thing that I think that happened with Fauci and everything with the vaccine is it made vaccines and science and health political.
[01:01:29]  It shouldn't be that political.
[01:01:31]  Like, I'll come out and say this I think vaccines are good.
[01:01:34]  Smallpox, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, whatever it is, it's the rush of the vaccine.
[01:01:41]  Trump.
[01:01:42]  It's the forced mandates of vaccine that people have a problem with.
[01:01:46]  And what you have a problem with is the lying.
[01:01:49]  And it's the 100% effective, 92% effective, 90% effective.
[01:01:55]  Eh, we don't even know.
[01:01:57]  But go get a booster.
[01:01:58]  By the way, did anybody get their 78th booster this month?
[01:02:02]  So it's convenient that we don't even talk about that anymore, though.
[01:02:06]  I agree with you, but don't you think the criminal part that's huge?
[01:02:09]  I don't know.
[01:02:10]  I don't have a vendetta against Fauci.
[01:02:12]  Why not?
[01:02:13]  No fan of Fauci, but I think the emphasis needs to be on China.
[01:02:17]  How much you want to bet this 85 year old guy won't spend one day in jail?
[01:02:22]  I don't think he's going to jail.
[01:02:23]  I'm going to put China in jail.
[01:02:25]  No, but you're talking about Fauci.
[01:02:27]  You want to see accountability.
[01:02:28]  100%.
[01:02:29]  I don't think he's going to go to jail.
[01:02:30]  He's 85 years old.
[01:02:32]  By the time they go to trial, he's 87, he's 90.
[01:02:34]  He's going to die by the time he has even sentenced him.
[01:02:36]  Adam, but think about this guy.
[01:02:37]  But I do understand accountability.
[01:02:39]  When you talk about the deep state, he's been around for how many presidents?
[01:02:41]  He started with HIV in like the 80s.
[01:02:43]  And guess what?
[01:02:44]  Have you read The Real Dr. Fauci, the book?
[01:02:46]  Adam, this guy.
[01:02:47]  Is, to my opinion, is actually evil.
[01:02:51]  Then why did every administration, Republican and Democrat, keep him around?
[01:02:54]  Adam, because they're all, what do you mean?
[01:02:56]  He's Dr. Fauci.
[01:02:58]  He's the trustworthy guy.
[01:02:58]  You don't know what he's doing behind closed doors.
[01:03:00]  And by the way, this is a leaked audio, Pat, talking about requiring every company to mandate vaccines.
[01:03:05]  By the way, Adam, this is all business.
[01:03:07]  Follow the money.
[01:03:08]  Follow the money.
[01:03:09]  Because you said vaccines are good, Adam.
[01:03:11]  If I got it, I swear to you, I'd be dead.
[01:03:13]  I'd be dead because of my heart.
[01:03:13]  I'd be dead because of my heart.
[01:03:14]  Vaccines in general.
[01:03:15]  Can you play this, Rob?
[01:03:16]  This is Crouchy getting caught.
[01:03:18]  Isn't that a good thing?
[01:03:19]  Listen to what Crouchy says here.
[01:03:21]  Interview that you gave as part of an audiobook written by Michael Spector that you believed an institution should make it hard for people to live their lives.
[01:03:32]  So they'd feel pressured to get vaccinated.
[01:03:34]  Could we run the audiobook on that, please?
[01:03:35]  What do you think can be done about it?
[01:03:36]  I have to say that I don't see a big solution other than some sort of mandatory vaccination.
[01:03:42]  There you come.
[01:03:43]  Federal officials don't like to use that term.
[01:03:46]  Once people feel empowered and protected legally, you are going to have schools, universities, and colleges that are going to say, you want to come to this college, buddy?
[01:03:59]  You're going to get vaccinated.
[01:04:01]  Lady, you're going to get vaccinated.
[01:04:03]  Big corporations like Amazon and Facebook.
[01:04:06]  And all of those others are going to say, you want to work for us, you get vaccinated.
[01:04:11]  And it's been proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit.
[01:04:19]  Look at that.
[01:04:20]  And they get vaccinated.
[01:04:22]  Look at that.
[01:04:23]  Okay, by the way, and Adam, you want to talk about rushed?
[01:04:26]  When you're the president and a pandemic hits coming from China with that guy behind the helm and they're in your ear going, Mr. President, we got to rush it, rush it, rush it, because they're all in bed with all these vaccine companies with Pfizer and everybody.
[01:04:37]  Then it gets rushed out, Adam, and everybody's dying.
[01:04:40]  Everybody has cancer.
[01:04:41]  Everybody's kids have.
[01:04:42]  You got to pump the brakes on everybody's diet.
[01:04:45]  Everybody's kids.
[01:04:45]  You know what I mean?
[01:04:46]  But Adam, let's get real.
[01:04:48]  Adam, hold on.
[01:04:49]  I'm being.
[01:04:49]  There are just.
[01:04:50]  I'm being literal.
[01:04:51]  Hold on.
[01:04:51]  Ready for this?
[01:04:52]  Okay.
[01:04:52]  Let me rephrase it.
[01:04:53]  Millions of people, millions of kids that.
[01:04:56]  Guess what?
[01:04:57]  Parents, brainwashed parents?
[01:04:59]  Millions of kids that died.
[01:05:00]  I would tell you.
[01:05:01]  I'll tell you this from my standpoint.
[01:05:04]  One of the things for me that was in my top 10 list is Fauci being held accountable.
[01:05:10]  It was in my top 10 list.
[01:05:11]  Because.
[01:05:13]  That, Adam, when you have kids, you'll know what happens to them when I clearly remember.
[01:05:22]  You know this picture here?
[01:05:23]  You know this picture here?
[01:05:25]  This picture of my son.
[01:05:26]  It's our favorite picture ever.
[01:05:28]  Jennifer took this picture.
[01:05:29]  We were not even looking at her.
[01:05:32]  This picture is a COVID picture.
[01:05:34]  This is when they did what they did with schools, with kids, not having a place to go, came to the office.
[01:05:40]  Ended up being the best thing because he was with me at the office every single day for 90 days.
[01:05:43]  I became their Teacher on a daily basis.
[01:05:45]  They had to make his 52 shots a day.
[01:05:47]  They had to swim 25 laps a day.
[01:05:49]  They had to read a book.
[01:05:50]  They had to watch a documentary every day for an hour and they had to write a paper on it.
[01:05:54]  It was every day.
[01:05:55]  I was their teacher for 90 days.
[01:05:56]  It was an incredible experience.
[01:05:58]  But we have the luxury to be able to do that.

=== April 24th Pardon Appeal (08:38) ===

[01:06:00]  A lot of people didn't.
[01:06:01]  This guy did that.
[01:06:03]  Fauci did that.
[01:06:04]  And if they're writing emails like that, and I read Anthony Fauci's book by Bobby Kennedy The Real Dr. Fauci, which, by the way, unlike James Comey's book, if you go to that one, Which was published by, I want to say, the Skyhorse Publishing.
[01:06:19]  Skyhorse Publishing.
[01:06:19]  If you go to it, look at the number of reviews.
[01:06:21]  Go to it.
[01:06:23]  Look at the number of reviews.
[01:06:25]  27.
[01:06:26]  Till today, it's still a number one bestseller in virology.
[01:06:29]  And we're talking about how many years ago when he wrote this book?
[01:06:32]  Till today.
[01:06:33]  And by the way, the cliff notes at the end, I don't know how many pages on what this guy did with the drug.
[01:06:41]  I think it's called AZT that was tied to AIDS, on how they abused it.
[01:06:45]  They kept it at a cost of $5,000 or $10,000 when they didn't need to.
[01:06:49]  Yeah, that's like, this guy's been a part of so much shit the last 40 years that's unbelievable.
[01:06:55]  So, guess what?
[01:06:57]  I'm telling you right now, if they do something by May 11th to Fauci, there is a massive community of libertarians, forget Republicans, massive community of libertarians and those who were impacted by the vaccine that have been begging for this.
[01:07:15]  They've literally been begging for this.
[01:07:18]  There are millions of Americans that voted for Trump with the hopes of him getting to the bottom of this, okay?
[01:07:25]  So, God willing, by 11th, if they do it, If they do it by May 11th, my ideal situation is by June 14th, a lot of things are scored away.
[01:07:36]  Iran is scored away.
[01:07:37]  You know, a couple of these announcements are being made.
[01:07:40]  Then they go into the World Cup.
[01:07:42]  Then after the World Cup, everybody moves on.
[01:07:44]  Things get better.
[01:07:45]  Then a new guy comes in.
[01:07:47]  Powell, although he doesn't want to get out, they're going to find a way to lower rates.
[01:07:50]  Gas prices go a little bit lower.
[01:07:51]  Going into the midterms, they already picked up the 12 seats that they're doing a plus minus, which we're talking about the redistricting thing that came out.
[01:07:59]  But Fauci is at the top of the list for a lot of people in America.
[01:08:03]  I hope they pursue this.
[01:08:05]  And I can't wait to see a.
[01:08:07]  You know what I want to see, Vinny?
[01:08:08]  Yes.
[01:08:08]  And I wonder what kind of jurisdiction they have, even with the pardon, because I think Fauci was pardoned.
[01:08:13]  He was pardoned.
[01:08:14]  So that means I want to know how he's protected.
[01:08:16]  What, Tom, what level of protection does a pardon have for them going after this for Fauci?
[01:08:22]  For Fauci, I believe.
[01:08:23]  I'll tell you, all of us hate the answer, and the answer is complete.
[01:08:28]  Unless, and that's why they auto pen.
[01:08:31]  Headlines were out there so strongly that if someone that was not the president went in and manipulated the pardon list and used the auto pen, Pat, so all you have to do is prove, did that come through the auto pen?
[01:08:45]  Yes.
[01:08:45]  Who did it?
[01:08:46]  Well, this guy, Anthony Blinken, did.
[01:08:47]  I'm just, I'm not saying he did.
[01:08:48]  I'm just saying allegedly, Anthony Blinken did.
[01:08:51]  And if we prove that Blinken had no authority and that Biden had no intention or direction, intention or direction to pardon Fauci, then you can pull the pardon back.
[01:09:01]  But do you hear the steps in there?
[01:09:03]  It's a long way, Pat.
[01:09:04]  It's a lot of steps.
[01:09:06]  Right now, Anthony Fauci carries a pardon.
[01:09:08]  But federal pardons, Tom, protect him from federal charges.
[01:09:11]  States can still prosecute if there's a valid state level case to bring.
[01:09:15]  So there's still hope.
[01:09:16]  And that's why when he reversed the auto pen, Tom, Donald Trump came out and the administration said they're all null and void.
[01:09:23]  Remember that?
[01:09:23]  And it kind of just went under the radar and we all moved on.
[01:09:26]  This would be so a mate, Pat, because of all the lying, the six feet social distancing, they lied about everything.
[01:09:34]  The effectiveness of the vaccine to where it came from, everything.
[01:09:37]  No, Adam, and I know what you were saying is oh, I said everybody, millions and millions of people are affected, were affected, are still going to be affected.
[01:09:45]  Children, by the way, Pat, I was going to tell people this too.
[01:09:48]  You go, God forbid something happens to you, and you have to get a blood transfusion.
[01:09:51]  You think they're going to stop and give you the non vaccinated blood?
[01:09:54]  They're giving you whatever that, you understand like the level of that?
[01:09:57]  And I'm telling you right now, that's affecting people with myocarditis.
[01:09:59]  By the way, I'm not a legal expert, but I read an article once and it really pissed me off, really pissed me off because it said, Pick a state like Nebraska, goes all the way to the mat and they prosecute Fauci.
[01:10:10]  Then they appeal it, appeal it, appeal it, appeal it.
[01:10:12]  Where do you end up?
[01:10:13]  You end up at the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court has asked a question Was this man already pardoned for this?
[01:10:19]  And therefore, does the state charge carry weight?
[01:10:23]  And it's like, now you put it in the hands of the Supreme Court to say, Did he or didn't he?
[01:10:27]  And it's just a mess.
[01:10:28]  And meanwhile, he's not in jail.
[01:10:30]  He's walking around.
[01:10:31]  My memory, he had Secret Service protection.
[01:10:32]  You can't hit his reputation any harder than Bobby Kennedy did.
[01:10:35]  If what he's saying is accurate, and then nobody can go after Fauci and he's basically been pardoned, who's next on that list?
[01:10:41]  Because, as much as we think Fauci had the power, there's other people that are making rules, regulations, mandates, and all the vaccines.
[01:10:48]  So, I'm wondering what's downstream from here.
[01:10:50]  Who would it be?
[01:10:51]  If he's pardoned, what do we?
[01:10:54]  David Morenz, this is a senior advisor.
[01:10:56]  He's just been indicted with 50 years.
[01:10:58]  And Adam, they're going to keep going.
[01:10:59]  They're going to keep searching.
[01:11:01]  Was Morenz on the pardon list?
[01:11:02]  No, he was not on the pardon list.
[01:11:04]  But Adam, yeah, this guy, he has to be held accountable, bro.
[01:11:08]  He has to be, period.
[01:11:10]  Well, it sounds like they're trying to.
[01:11:12]  I hope to God it happens.
[01:11:12]  We'll see.
[01:11:13]  We'll see what happens.
[01:11:13]  Let me get to this next story.
[01:11:14]  So, Spencer Pratt, who's running for mayor of LA, dude, this guy just dropped a bomb.
[01:11:23]  I love that.
[01:11:23]  Of an ad.
[01:11:24]  And then wait till you see this clip of Karen Bass, how she's being treated by people in LA while she's in a car trying to talk.
[01:11:31]  That clip excites me more than this one.
[01:11:33]  But here's Spencer Pratt dropping one of the greatest campaign ads of all time.
[01:11:37]  Go ahead, Rob.
[01:11:38]  This is where Mayor Bass lives.
[01:11:40]  You notice something?
[01:11:41]  Or here, where Nithya Rahman's $3 million mansion sits.
[01:11:45]  They don't have to live in the mess they've created where you live.
[01:11:50]  This is where I live.
[01:11:52]  They let my home burn down.
[01:11:54]  I know what the consequences of failed leadership are.
[01:11:57]  That's why I'm running for mayor for my sons and the rest of us, Angelenos, that want to stop these corrupt politicians that are destroying our city.
[01:12:05]  Go get them, man.
[01:12:05]  We're going to get the golden age of Los Angeles.
[01:12:07]  Oh, man.
[01:12:08]  By the way, Jeannie Buss, Los Angeles Lakers, allegedly, if you want to pull this up, just gave him $10 million for his campaign.
[01:12:15]  Wow.
[01:12:16]  $10 million.
[01:12:16]  Okay, if you go look up.
[01:12:18]  They're not going to fund that campaign, man.
[01:12:19]  Are you kidding me?
[01:12:20]  $10 million for that campaign.
[01:12:22]  Do you have that story, Rob?
[01:12:22]  Can you just verify what I'm saying?
[01:12:24]  I thought I was going a little bit lower to see if there's a $10 million story.
[01:12:27]  The story was going viral about her giving $10 million.
[01:12:32]  And then another thing with Spencer Pratt, Rob, if you can go back to where you were at, is if you can go back to where you were at, on top of that, on Kalshi, you just had a Kalshi thing with him for mayor, right?
[01:12:44]  That's the one I want to look at.
[01:12:46]  Yeah, if you look at this, a Kalshi for mayor of LA, and watch what happened to him after he dropped this clip, look what happens to him.
[01:12:55]  Which color is he blue?
[01:12:56]  Just go to one week.
[01:12:56]  Is he blue, Rob?
[01:12:58]  Can you go to one week?
[01:12:58]  I don't know what that's about.
[01:12:59]  Go instead of 30 days, go to one week.
[01:13:01]  Is that it?
[01:13:02]  Yep.
[01:13:02]  He's blue.
[01:13:03]  Boom.
[01:13:03]  He bumped up from April 24th.
[01:13:06]  He was April 20th.
[01:13:07]  Go to April 24th.
[01:13:08]  Where was he at?
[01:13:08]  April 24th.
[01:13:09]  15.
[01:13:10]  And now he's at what?
[01:13:11]  Go to today.
[01:13:12]  Boom.
[01:13:12]  25%.
[01:13:14]  So Nithya Raman is at 52.6.
[01:13:16]  Karen Bass drops from being at 30 to being below 15 now.
[01:13:20]  She's dead.
[01:13:20]  Even the Democrats are alive.
[01:13:22]  No, physically, she's alive now.
[01:13:23]  She's alive.
[01:13:24]  I know a lot of people are worried about her.
[01:13:26]  Yes, they're on life support as well.
[01:13:27]  She's right.
[01:13:28]  Her campaign.
[01:13:29]  Sack of sandbags.
[01:13:30]  As they say, her campaign is in deep trouble.
[01:13:34]  Yeah.
[01:13:34]  That even the Democrats aren't supporting her because she's so, she is so.
[01:13:39]  Too much potatoes.
[01:13:40]  But here's Karen Bass out there asking for support in this beautiful car.
[01:13:47]  And look how folks from LA are talking to Karen Bass.
[01:13:49]  Go ahead, Rob.
[01:13:51]  Express our support for Chinatown.
[01:13:53]  Yes, we support Chinatown.
[01:13:55]  We don't support Karen Bass.
[01:13:57]  Thank you.
[01:13:58]  She's cut services.
[01:14:01]  Boom.
[01:14:02]  Good.
[01:14:05]  Oh my God.
[01:14:06]  That one guy there, I think he was saying she's number one.
[01:14:10]  Spencer running as a Democrat?
[01:14:12]  I don't think Spencer's running.
[01:14:14]  When it comes down to mayoral races, I don't know if they do Republican or Democrat.
[01:14:20]  They may, if you want to pull it up, if he's running out of Democrat as a Republican.
[01:14:24]  I'm speculating.
[01:14:25]  He's probably going to be a conservative himself.
[01:14:28]  Pull it up.
[01:14:30]  Big cities do, I was actually just talking to.
[01:14:31]  That's good.
[01:14:32]  Yeah, Republican.
[01:14:33]  Big cities do, obviously.
[01:14:35]  And let me do this, and I'll come to you, Rob.
[01:14:37]  There's another clip.

=== Devil Winds and Shocking Recordings (02:40) ===

[01:14:38]  Where she was caught in shocking recording just days before the Palisades fire.
[01:14:46]  If you want to play this clip, watch this clip here.
[01:14:48]  Go ahead, Rob.
[01:14:49]  The situation is very dangerous, and I would never do it.
[01:14:54]  I will take the criticism before I do a publicity stunt.
[01:14:59]  And frankly, a press conference at this point in time would just be publicity.
[01:15:04]  I think the neighbors, the property owners, and the residents.
[01:15:09]  I mean, 41,000 people live within a square mile here.
[01:15:14]  Two families share a one bedroom apartment.
[01:15:16]  But they want to hear that something is going to be done.
[01:15:19]  They want to know it's recognized.
[01:15:21]  But they want to know it's recognized.
[01:15:23]  Exactly, but if I have a choice between that and compromising something, I just have to go along with it.
[01:15:31]  It's not my area of expertise.
[01:15:34]  I want to make sure that you are safe.
[01:15:36]  And hopefully you can read in between the lines.
[01:15:41]  But I would just appreciate, just, and it's hard for me to tell you this.
[01:15:46]  It's hard.
[01:15:47]  But uhm, hold tight.
[01:15:50]  You will, you will understand soon.
[01:15:53]  You know what that is?
[01:15:56]  That's somebody saying that they know something, but they don't want to say it out loud.
[01:15:59]  By the way, what was it, Vinny?
[01:16:00]  You lived in LA.
[01:16:01]  What was it?
[01:16:02]  What are the hot winds called?
[01:16:03]  I don't know the name of them.
[01:16:05]  The Santa Anas.
[01:16:06]  Yes.
[01:16:06]  The weather report will say, here come the Santa Anas.
[01:16:09]  The Santa Anas, buddy.
[01:16:10]  Did you even live in LA?
[01:16:11]  Santa Anas?
[01:16:12]  No, they're called.
[01:16:13]  They're going to manufacture the fire.
[01:16:15]  No, I mean, anybody can Google it.
[01:16:16]  It's called the Santa Anas.
[01:16:17]  She had received a briefing that said the Santa Anas winds are going to kick up and they could be as high as 100 miles an hour at the bottom of canyons where all the winds come together.
[01:16:27]  They warned her.
[01:16:28]  And she got on a plane and went to wherever, Ghana.
[01:16:33]  And you can hear that.
[01:16:34]  She's saying, read between the lines, be safe.
[01:16:37]  It's because the fires hadn't started, but people told her, hey, man, we have fire season here, and this is really kind of crazy.
[01:16:43]  There it is.
[01:16:43]  The Santa Ana winds, referred to as the devil winds, are extremely devil's lettuce out there.
[01:16:49]  They come in with a high pressure mass, and guess what?
[01:16:52]  All you need is a little spark.
[01:16:53]  I get so nervous with Tom's trivia.
[01:16:55]  Tom would be like, and George Washington went to this place, and he was wearing what size shoe?
[01:16:58]  Vinny.
[01:16:59]  And I'm like, I don't.
[01:17:01]  Wait, Now, here's a math question for you.
[01:17:04]  For the sake of clarity, I did not see George Washington when he did that.
[01:17:09]  I was in the restroom.
[01:17:10]  Okay, gotcha.
[01:17:10]  But by the way, she's talking on the phone with John Al, A L L E. He's a property manager who works for Palisade, Pacific Palisades, Westlake, Pat, and MacArthur Park.

=== Rooting for the Anti-System Mayor (02:24) ===

[01:17:19]  And obviously, he recorded it on purpose.
[01:17:22]  But while this is all building, she's not even.
[01:17:24]  She left the country.
[01:17:25]  And then remember at the airport, Pat, she's at the gate, and somebody's like, people said that you knew beforehand, and you were just, you still went, and she's just looking at the ground.
[01:17:33]  For five minutes because she can't talk.
[01:17:35]  It's ridiculous.
[01:17:36]  And then you have Gavin Newsom coming out, standing in the middle of burning rubber.
[01:17:39]  People's houses are destroyed.
[01:17:41]  People are dead.
[01:17:41]  And he's like, Talking to a lady.
[01:17:43]  I got a call, lady.
[01:17:44]  I got a call.
[01:17:44]  Yeah, I got a call.
[01:17:45]  But the other one was like, Yeah, I've been talking to Josh Green and talking about some land grabbing.
[01:17:50]  And he's excited about people coming to grab land from all these fucking people.
[01:17:53]  Well, listen, Spencer Pratt is creating momentum.
[01:17:55]  He's making noise.
[01:17:57]  A lot of folks in LA are paying attention to him.
[01:18:02]  And God willing, he gets more and more momentum as he's going in this race.
[01:18:05]  Adam, your thoughts on this.
[01:18:06]  Yeah.
[01:18:07]  What I got to give credit to Spencer Pratt.
[01:18:08]  Pratt for reinventing himself.
[01:18:09]  We talk about reinventing yourself all the time.
[01:18:12]  I remember when someone pitched, Hey, do you want to have Spencer Pratt on the podcast?
[01:18:16]  I was like, The reality guy from the 2000s?
[01:18:19]  They're like, Oh, you haven't seen what he's up to these days?
[01:18:21]  Dude, he's running for mayor.
[01:18:22]  I'm like, As a joke, they're like, No, he's for real.
[01:18:25]  And we've been looking into it, and he is for real.
[01:18:28]  You know who the joke is?
[01:18:30]  This Karen Bass lady.
[01:18:31]  So kudos to you.
[01:18:33]  I'm not sure, you know, my whole thoughts on California, Los Angeles.
[01:18:37]  I think that's a fallen city, just like New York, Miami's the future, Texas is the future.
[01:18:42]  LA looks cooked.
[01:18:43]  Literally half the city burnt down, allegedly.
[01:18:46]  But I got to give him major credit for reinventing himself.
[01:18:48]  And I got to tell you, kind of rooting for the guy.
[01:18:51]  That ad was badass.
[01:18:52]  Good for him.
[01:18:53]  And he has three things going for him he has the personality, he knows what he is, he knows how to work a camera, right?
[01:19:02]  He has policies, it seems, because all you have to do is just be anti Marxist, anti woke, anti LGBTQ, ABTBC, and just be normal.
[01:19:11]  And he has the biggest decider.
[01:19:13]  You know what he has?
[01:19:14]  Purpose.
[01:19:15]  His house burnt down, and he's living in a van down by the river.
[01:19:20]  Down by the Palisade.
[01:19:21]  There it is.
[01:19:22]  And we all know those Santa Ana wins, Vinny.
[01:19:24]  You know about that.
[01:19:25]  I can't help but rooting for the guy.
[01:19:27]  So good luck to him.
[01:19:28]  But I hope people, like, I hope Californians, like, are starting to see, like, Angelenos.
[01:19:34]  Angelenos, don't keep falling for the Democrat, whatever.
[01:19:37]  This guy actually won the election.
[01:19:38]  What do you mean, don't feel.
[01:19:39]  When's the last time you think there was a Republican mayor in L.A.?

=== Angelenos Rent Crisis in Nevada (05:21) ===

[01:19:43]  I don't remember.
[01:19:44]  What year?
[01:19:44]  I don't remember.
[01:19:45]  Richard Rorden?
[01:19:46]  1849.
[01:19:47]  The 49er gold.
[01:19:48]  No, I'm just kidding.
[01:19:49]  Okay.
[01:19:50]  2000.
[01:19:50]  It's been 26 years.
[01:19:52]  But here's my thing.
[01:19:53]  He's a Republican mayor in LA.
[01:19:55]  Here's your chance.
[01:19:55]  Back check that.
[01:19:56]  Here's your chance.
[01:19:57]  And I know with the governor, it's probably not going to happen, but like you keep voting for trash, you're going to get trash.
[01:20:03]  Time to recycle that.
[01:20:05]  Yeah.
[01:20:05]  What are they like?
[01:20:06]  This is your opportunity to freaking start bucking the system a little bit.
[01:20:10]  Get somebody in there that actually gives a damn.
[01:20:12]  Like they actually give a damn about what the hell's going on.
[01:20:14]  Is he still married to the Heidi girl?
[01:20:16]  By the way, there was a story going viral that Jeannie Buss gave 10 million.
[01:20:19]  I'm trying to find this 10 million.
[01:20:20]  I saw it.
[01:20:21]  It wasn't our text.
[01:20:22]  Community as well.
[01:20:23]  I don't think it's 10 million.
[01:20:25]  I think she gave Max the max you can.
[01:20:28]  She donated $1,800.
[01:20:30]  $1,800, which is a max. $1,800, $10 million.
[01:20:33]  Big difference.
[01:20:34]  But where did that 10 million thing come from?
[01:20:36]  It's probably because she sold the business for $10 billion because the Lakers sold for $10 billion.
[01:20:39]  So I don't know how she did not give him that money.
[01:20:41]  No, it was on a community tax.
[01:20:42]  So to correct it, it's $1,800.
[01:20:44]  Jeannie Buss gave to it.
[01:20:47]  Let's continue.
[01:20:48]  But watch this with LA.
[01:20:50]  These two stories I want to do with California, LA because we love that place so much.
[01:20:54]  Here's one of them.
[01:20:57]  Leaving California makes home ownership 48% more likely.
[01:21:03]  What?
[01:21:04]  So you live in California, you don't own a home.
[01:21:07]  If you leave California, you increase the likelihood of you being a homeowner by 48%?
[01:21:12]  Yes.
[01:21:13]  Rob, go ahead.
[01:21:14]  This morning, a new study finds that Californians who leave the state are 48% more likely to own a home within seven years compared to those who stay.
[01:21:23]  This is according to research from the UC Policy Lab.
[01:21:27]  You know where the UC Policy Lab is?
[01:21:28]  UC Berkeley.
[01:21:30]  Very liberal.
[01:21:30]  They want to be able to buy a home.
[01:21:31]  They want to be able to raise their kids in something more than an apartment.
[01:21:36]  The study says lawmakers should focus on affordability and restoring California's appeal to current residents and potential newcomers.
[01:21:44]  Yeah, renters relocating out of California saw rent lower by 30%, which is $631 a month in their new neighborhood.
[01:21:52]  How homeowners also find more affordable pricing for the median home, which costs $396,000.
[01:21:57]  Or 48% less than median where they lived in LA.
[01:22:01]  The dynamic helps home ownership more common in their new neighborhood with 60% owning their homes versus 53% in the California neighborhoods.
[01:22:08]  They departed.
[01:22:09]  So, Tom, how do you react to this story?
[01:22:10]  Why is this such a big deal?
[01:22:12]  I think it's a big deal because Adam's been out to California.
[01:22:17]  He's got friends in California, so he's got some visibility there.
[01:22:19]  But we've all lived there.
[01:22:20]  All the rest of us have lived there.
[01:22:22]  And what is going on here is it's insane.
[01:22:26]  Even UC Berkeley, Runs a study, and what was funny about the study there was a comment that was in the study is making California more appealing to current residents.
[01:22:35]  I think was the statement that was there.
[01:22:38]  Yeah, so wait a minute, those of you thinking about leaving, please don't leave.
[01:22:40]  Let's make it more appealing for you to stay.
[01:22:43]  Don't bail.
[01:22:43]  Don't bail.
[01:22:45]  And what we're seeing here is the truth of bad policy bad policy that destroyed the economy, bad policy that's led to ridiculous homeowners' insurance costs, bad policies that have led to shortages of insurance carriers so that you can't even get insurance coverage.
[01:23:00]  You have to get like this crippled coverage called the Fair Plan.
[01:23:06]  And the bad policies that have led to companies leaving.
[01:23:11]  Voters running amok being driven by unions and Gavin Newsom, who's now running from responsibility because he allegedly was right there with SEIU unions on this, the billionaire tax, even though now he's trying to move back on it because it looks bad, muddy, and there's going to get muddy on his white shirt while he's on camera trying to run for president.
[01:23:32]  That's not going to work.
[01:23:34]  And so, what I see, Pat, this is just the outcome.
[01:23:39]  You put all of the bad decisions and the lack of leadership.
[01:23:43]  Into a bowl, you mix it, you put it in the oven, and this is the cake it bakes.
[01:23:49]  People that are leaving, and how bad is it?
[01:23:53]  You're actually more likely to be able to get a home for your family, a permanent residence, 48% more likely after you leave.
[01:24:02]  That's how bad it is.
[01:24:04]  Yeah, well, one thing we know about real estate location, location, location, and everybody wants to live in the greatest cities in the world, New York, LA, except.
[01:24:13]  Those are no longer the greatest cities anymore.
[01:24:16]  That's why people are coming to Miami.
[01:24:17]  I think when it comes to housing, you're supposed to spend up to 30% of your gross income on housing, on rent, on your mortgage.
[01:24:25]  I want to say, Angelenos, Californians specifically, are spending upwards of 100% of their total take home pay on rent, meaning like they're working just to pay rent.
[01:24:38]  How are they eating?
[01:24:39]  Exactly.
[01:24:40]  That's why the homeless problem is so pervasive in LA.
[01:24:44]  So, location, location, location.
[01:24:46]  A lot of people are looking at how much it costs to pay rent in LA, and they're going, Yeah, instead of living in LA, I'm going to go to a different loss and I'm going to go to Las Vegas.
[01:24:54]  And that's why so many people are moving to Nevada.
[01:24:57]  Pat, there was a second story you want to talk about with Nevada, I believe, right?
[01:25:00]  Which one is that?
[01:25:01]  This was the Californians are fleeing to Nevada for affordability.

=== Miami Ready for World Cup Games (05:22) ===

[01:25:05]  There's that word again.
[01:25:05]  Yeah.
[01:25:06]  Forget Texas, forget Florida.
[01:25:08]  The real winner of California's greatest exodus is the state right next door.
[01:25:12]  Californians are quietly moving to Nevada, the top destination.
[01:25:15]  Fed up with sky high costs, pulling in more former residents per capita than any other state over the past decade.
[01:25:23]  Okay?
[01:25:23]  For every 10,000 Nevada residents, roughly 81 more Californians arrived and departed each year from 2016 to 2025.
[01:25:30]  The math is especially brutal for Sacramento and clarifying for everyone else.
[01:25:35]  Yeah, I mean, look, a lot of friends that I have are moving from California to Nevada.
[01:25:40]  It's right there down the street, three and a half hour drive.
[01:25:44]  You don't have to, like, you can still come and visit your family.
[01:25:47]  Some who make the full move, they'll go to Texas.
[01:25:49]  And then a few who make the full move, they'll move to, what do you call it, Florida.
[01:25:54]  But the folks who are living in San Francisco, is this San Francisco, Rob?
[01:25:58]  Yes, sir.
[01:25:58]  By the way, before you watch it, I just want to give you a warning.
[01:26:01]  It's uncomfortable watching this.
[01:26:03]  But we have this in many cities in America.
[01:26:06]  I'm not just highlighting this, but this is what San Francisco looks like right now.
[01:26:09]  Go ahead, Rob.
[01:26:12]  Jeez.
[01:26:13]  And by the way, they're not playing a game like Stop.
[01:26:15]  No.
[01:26:16]  You know that game where you're on the trank?
[01:26:17]  Are they on that trank?
[01:26:18]  They're on drugs.
[01:26:19]  Yeah, of course.
[01:26:20]  So imagine your kids are walking down and you're just kind of going through, and this is what you're seeing.
[01:26:24]  Yeah, it's horrible.
[01:26:25]  Like, what kind of drug makes you, like, his pants?
[01:26:28]  That guy's pants are off.
[01:26:29]  Bro.
[01:26:29]  It's more than just.
[01:26:30]  They're zombies.
[01:26:31]  You're a zombie.
[01:26:32]  Yeah, you can pause it right now.
[01:26:33]  It's disturbing to watch.
[01:26:34]  California.
[01:26:35]  And FYI, while this is going on, you know what the LAPD chief just said?
[01:26:38]  The LAPD, what's about to come up?
[01:26:40]  The World Cup.
[01:26:41]  The LAPD chief just dropped this following message.
[01:26:44]  You think people want to hear this?
[01:26:47]  Terrifying truth bomb about LA Olympic security.
[01:26:51]  Let's hear it.
[01:26:51]  Oh, man.
[01:26:52]  Now, LA Olympic security or World Cup.
[01:26:55]  I mean, if people.
[01:26:55]  Is there going to be a game in LA?
[01:26:56]  By the way, I'm curious if there's going to be any World Cup games.
[01:26:58]  Go ahead and play the video, Rob.
[01:26:59]  Go for it.
[01:27:00]  Requested funding to purchase vehicles, technology, and specialized equipment to be able to do the Olympics.
[01:27:08]  In addition, the $1 billion budget is for all agencies involved in the Olympics, not just the LAPD.
[01:27:14]  And it will be restricted primarily to police officer overtime.
[01:27:19]  LA 28 confirmed that they have zero police or public safety budget.
[01:27:24]  And while they do have a security budget, it doesn't cover law enforcement.
[01:27:28]  Okay, so the chief is getting up there before the World Cup, which, by the way, eight matches of the 2026 World Cup in the next few weeks, we're only a few weeks away, will be held at SoFi Stadium.
[01:27:44]  Okay?
[01:27:45]  So imagine if you're like going through it out of 104 total matches that are going to be happening in North America.
[01:27:51]  Of the 104, 8% are in LA, in LA only.
[01:27:56]  And you're telling me this before World Cup, you don't think you're ready?
[01:28:00]  Are you ready for World Cup?
[01:28:02]  What's a bigger event, World Cup or Olympics?
[01:28:04]  World Cup.
[01:28:05]  I would say World Cup.
[01:28:07]  I would say World Cup.
[01:28:08]  But the Olympics is harder to patrol because it's a lot of different events instead of just one game that's coming in.
[01:28:14]  That makes sense to me.
[01:28:15]  But.
[01:28:15]  One stadium and then certain hotels is World Cup.
[01:28:18]  But Tom, if you think about the World Cup, if people are going to games and you want to take your wife and kids and you're going to LA, what things are you thinking about?
[01:28:24]  Oh my God.
[01:28:25]  Are we safe?
[01:28:25]  Are we not?
[01:28:26]  The LA chief is telling you we're not ready for Olympics.
[01:28:29]  You think they're ready for the World Cup?
[01:28:30]  If this guy is saying we're not ready for the Olympics and that's in two years, you think they're ready for the World Cup?
[01:28:35]  That's in six years.
[01:28:35]  That's right.
[01:28:36]  And Ahmed Al Kaboom, who's sitting there living in Santa Monica because he snuck across the border two years ago in Mexico.
[01:28:43]  So that's the problem.
[01:28:44]  Sounds like a Christian guy.
[01:28:45]  Can't wait to walk into a group of people.
[01:28:48]  You know, going into a stadium wearing a special vest.
[01:28:52]  Yeah.
[01:28:52]  Well, California's going to have a chance to show what it's got, and it's either going to go great or it's going to be Allah Ahmed Kabbalah.
[01:28:59]  I'm hoping everything's okay.
[01:29:01]  I mean, I know he was joking around, but the seriousness of how many people are here that they've said that, bro, there's active sleeper cell Al Qaeda.
[01:29:09]  That's my point.
[01:29:10]  They're old.
[01:29:11]  I was being incredibly sarcastic and off the cuff, but it is.
[01:29:14]  Could there be one or two sleeper cell people that have walked in right across the border?
[01:29:19]  Sure, there could.
[01:29:20]  And could they be just, they can't wait.
[01:29:22]  For crowds of people approaching the stadium beyond the security perimeter to go in and wreak havoc.
[01:29:28]  That's what they do.
[01:29:28]  Look around the world.
[01:29:29]  That's what they do.
[01:29:30]  Tom, we just saw a video from the White House correspondence of a guy run in and run past.
[01:29:35]  If he had a bomb on his body, that whole group is dead.
[01:29:39]  And think about the magnitude of the World Cup.
[01:29:42]  I don't think, like, the fact that he's saying that, Pat, that's freaking scary that he's like, we can't, we can't.
[01:29:47]  Like, that's, you don't want to hear a security guy say that before the World Cup.
[01:29:51]  I don't want, in two years, we're not ready for an event that's happening two years from now.
[01:29:55]  But we're ready for an event that's happening six weeks from now.
[01:29:57]  Yeah, okay.
[01:29:58]  For sure.
[01:29:59]  We're going to be ready for that.
[01:30:00]  Anyways, we'll see.
[01:30:02]  I mean, we're planning on going to a couple games, but we'll see which ones we're going to be going to.
[01:30:05]  All right, let's go to the next story.
[01:30:07]  Next story I want to get to is I got a couple stories I want to get into.
[01:30:09]  I don't know which one's more important.
[01:30:12]  Let's go into this one, and then we'll wrap up with the other couple stories.
[01:30:15]  Erica Kirk will go into that story as well before we wrap up.
[01:30:17]  But I want to get into this one because this, while, listen, everybody's focused on war, everybody's focused on oil prices, everybody's focused on the economy security.

=== Woody Allen Lawsuit Allegations (11:38) ===

[01:30:27]  And no one's paying attention to maybe one of the biggest stories in the last 24 hours is a bombshell sexual harassment suit against Lorna Hajdini, JP Morgan, branded complete fabrication as John D. En masse.
[01:30:42]  So this story yesterday goes viral, okay?
[01:30:46]  And Rob, I want to read the tweets that this fellow claimed that she sent him or the messages that she sent him.
[01:30:53]  You know, he claims he was a sexual slave.
[01:30:56]  Did you guys see that story where he.
[01:30:59]  Bombshell sexual harassment suit against.
[01:31:01]  Okay.
[01:31:03]  Do you have the words of what he says?
[01:31:04]  Because there are three different things that he claims she would tell him.
[01:31:08]  This is the one.
[01:31:09]  Glamorous JP Morgan Chase executive accused of turning married male broker into her sex slave.
[01:31:14]  Claims of Viagra spiking and litany of obscene force acts that made him cry.
[01:31:19]  This is like Jennifer Aniston from Horrible Bosses in real life, right?
[01:31:24]  So going a little bit lower.
[01:31:26]  Go a little bit lower.
[01:31:27]  Go a little bit.
[01:31:28]  Oh, Rob.
[01:31:28]  Come on.
[01:31:29]  You don't subscribe to the day of it?
[01:31:31]  No, no, no.
[01:31:31]  That's the one to read.
[01:31:33]  The one to read is that one because the other one is, I actually want to prefer, I want to read that one first, Rob.
[01:31:39]  I know you have it.
[01:31:40]  Okay.
[01:31:41]  So she says her claims are, oh, you did play basketball in college.
[01:31:46]  I love basketball players.
[01:31:48]  They get me so wet.
[01:31:50]  He says that she said that, right?
[01:31:52]  These are his claims, Rob.
[01:31:54]  Is this serious?
[01:31:55]  Is this a joke?
[01:31:56]  You're not like pulling a prank on me because it's a May 1st.
[01:31:59]  It's like maybe it makes me rush and holler.
[01:32:01]  We have a picture of this, Lorna?
[01:32:02]  So let me go through this.
[01:32:04]  Let me read some of this stuff.
[01:32:05]  He's on.
[01:32:05]  Page 27.
[01:32:06]  I'm with you there, Rob.
[01:32:07]  It never happens to me.
[01:32:08]  Give me another one.
[01:32:09]  If you don't F me soon, I'm going to ruin you.
[01:32:14]  Never forget.
[01:32:16]  I'm effing owning you.
[01:32:17]  By the way, I'm telling you, this is from Horrible Boss.
[01:32:20]  This is Horrible My little brother.
[01:32:24]  You're going to need to earn it.
[01:32:30]  Look at this one here.
[01:32:37]  Where is it?
[01:32:39]  You're going to need to earn it, my little Arab boy toy.
[01:32:44]  Who says stuff like this?
[01:32:45]  I mean, at this point, I agree with Tom.
[01:32:47]  I thought there was an Asian situation.
[01:32:49]  Well, there's an Asian one as well.
[01:32:50]  There's so many things here.
[01:32:52]  I bet you're.
[01:32:53]  Do you want a future at JP Morgan?
[01:32:54]  It's that simple.
[01:32:55]  I don't know why you're fighting this.
[01:32:58]  He says she said this to him.
[01:32:59]  Do you want to get promoted at the end of the year or not?
[01:33:01]  Her Johnny warned him, according to the lawsuit.
[01:33:04]  Her Johnny then allegedly removed her shirt, began.
[01:33:08]  Following her breasts with racially insult, Doe's wife remarking, I bet your little Asian fish head wife doesn't have these.
[01:33:16]  At this point, Rob, am I reading this?
[01:33:18]  I've never heard anybody called a fish head dope.
[01:33:20]  And then he continues.
[01:33:22]  I like that.
[01:33:22]  Hajani allegedly admonished him for crying and scolded him for failing to achieve an erection.
[01:33:29]  Stop effing crying.
[01:33:31]  You think any of us are going to be telling you, you're an effing douchebag.
[01:33:35]  By the way, that's a needs improvement.
[01:33:36]  So here's the thing, okay?
[01:33:38]  This is terrible calibration when you're going through stuff like this.
[01:33:40]  Oh my God.
[01:33:41]  But you know what I would tell you is.
[01:33:42]  You know what I would tell?
[01:33:44]  Does not meet expectations, Rob.
[01:33:46]  Yeah.
[01:33:47]  That's it.
[01:33:48]  This is her?
[01:33:49]  So, this is her.
[01:33:51]  She became the most famous person on, and that's him.
[01:33:53]  Okay.
[01:33:54]  Poor guy.
[01:33:54]  Oh, yeah.
[01:33:55]  He's married as well.
[01:33:56]  By the way, this is all alleged.
[01:33:58]  This is all stuff in the lawsuit that he puts.
[01:34:03]  By the way, you can read this further for yourself if you want to entertain yourself.
[01:34:07]  On June 9, 2025, Doe says he received a voicemail from someone claiming to be a manager at JPMC telling him he wasn't welcome because of his skin color.
[01:34:16]  Adding that people don't want your kind here.
[01:34:18]  I mean, this is just a bunch of gibberish, right?
[01:34:22]  Then, the New York Post drops a story saying this whole story was fake.
[01:34:26]  He faked the whole story, Rob.
[01:34:27]  If you want to go to it, is this the one?
[01:34:30]  Yeah, go a little bit lower, Rob, with this story.
[01:34:33]  You know, JP Morgan's staffer, whom sources identified as Shirayu Rana, has been accused of making fabricated sexual harassment claims against a high ranking executive at the bank after an internal investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing.
[01:34:46]  Multiple sources told the post 35 year old Rana, now a principal at an investment firm, Brigal Sagamount, is the man who brought the bombshell lawsuit against Lorna Hajini earlier this week.
[01:34:57]  Rana's suit filed on Monday under the pseudonym John Doe.
[01:35:01]  Accused a 37 year old executive director of turning him into a sex slave by drugging him with Roy, what is that?
[01:35:09]  Roy Pinal and Viagra.
[01:35:10]  Oh, Rufi.
[01:35:11]  That's the proper, that's the metaphor.
[01:35:12]  Okay, Rufi's and Viagra and threatening to stop him.
[01:35:14]  I don't know why they call it Rufi's.
[01:35:15]  They should call it Rufi's.
[01:35:16]  His bone is if he does not comply.
[01:35:18]  Okay, Tom, what do you think about the story here?
[01:35:20]  I know you're following closely.
[01:35:21]  What do you think about the story?
[01:35:22]  Come here, my little white Arab boy toy.
[01:35:24]  What do you got?
[01:35:25]  Oh, this is horrible.
[01:35:27]  And now it, so it looks like now that this has now been, All discredited that the guy actually, you know, you know what this is about?
[01:35:35]  So I looked under AI for something.
[01:35:39]  I'll share something in a minute.
[01:35:40]  But first of all, this is a disgruntled, apparently disgruntled worker that's trying to get money out of a corporation.
[01:35:48]  I think it looks to me like that's what's happened here.
[01:35:51]  And so he's filed this lawsuit with these outrageous claims, and the whole thing backfires because it goes public.
[01:36:00]  People come out and say, That woman is not like that.
[01:36:03]  Her co workers, JP Morgan says, We conducted an investigation and we couldn't get this guy.
[01:36:08]  I think that's what it said, Pat, that he refused to cooperate with the investigation by legal inside JP Morgan.
[01:36:16]  And so he puts this out here.
[01:36:19]  And so this morning, it looks like that all of the data in the court case was made public because it ended up being a public filing and the media was free to report on it.
[01:36:31]  And so now, This guy looks terrible.
[01:36:35]  It's just, and if he does, as the articles are alleging, this is disgusting.
[01:36:40]  Tried to destroy this woman's career and just try to get money out of it or make a lawsuit and get through it.
[01:36:47]  Oh, you're defending him?
[01:36:48]  No, I'm not defending him.
[01:36:50]  I'm saying it's disgusting what he did.
[01:36:52]  If the reports this morning, Adam, are that.
[01:36:55]  Oh, you're defending her?
[01:36:56]  Yeah.
[01:36:57]  Well, if he's lying.
[01:36:58]  I'm not defending anybody right now.
[01:37:00]  I'm looking at it and saying it's disgusting if what he did, the allegations.
[01:37:04]  Adam wants you to take a position.
[01:37:05]  Take the position, Tom.
[01:37:06]  Which one?
[01:37:07]  Backwards.
[01:37:08]  Well, I'll tell you this.
[01:37:08]  And I also looked up.
[01:37:10]  And by the way, what did she call her?
[01:37:12]  What did she call them?
[01:37:13]  Cannons.
[01:37:14]  Cannons.
[01:37:15]  I looked up on AI and I said, Do women usually refer to them as cannons?
[01:37:20]  They said, No.
[01:37:22]  You will hear words like airbags, Twin Peaks, Hooters, jugs, racked melons, knockers, and potas, but you don't hear cannons.
[01:37:28]  Yes.
[01:37:29]  Well, we're at war with Iran.
[01:37:30]  Boy, thank God we have AI, right?
[01:37:33]  Yeah.
[01:37:33]  But I think it's disgusting.
[01:37:35]  If he.
[01:37:35]  Look at.
[01:37:35]  Look at what he's done to her if it turns out that she had nothing to do with it.
[01:37:39]  By the way, she's going to sue the hell out of him.
[01:37:41]  Oh my gosh.
[01:37:42]  Can you imagine what her DMs look like right now?
[01:37:45]  Hey, are you hiring?
[01:37:46]  I just DMed her just now.
[01:37:47]  By the way, did you see X yesterday?
[01:37:48]  There wasn't even comments about her.
[01:37:50]  On X yesterday, you saw like 20 guys in suits running across the street in New York and it says JP Morgan's hiring.
[01:38:00]  You're like, oh, brother.
[01:38:01]  How is Jamie Dimon using this?
[01:38:04]  There was a meme with Jamie Dimon.
[01:38:07]  He's making this horrible face and there's a guy in his ear.
[01:38:10]  Said, sir, this is what just happened.
[01:38:12]  There's a picture of Jamie Dimon, like, there he is, like, completely pissed.
[01:38:16]  Sir, job applications at JP Morgan changed by 686,000%.
[01:38:20]  And he's like, wow.
[01:38:25]  So, this woman is sexually harassing her underling, her co-worker.
[01:38:29]  Allegedly.
[01:38:30]  She allegedly.
[01:38:31]  She alleges is the word.
[01:38:33]  So, she's allegedly sexually harassing.
[01:38:35]  She's allegedly racist, allegedly abusive, sexual advances.
[01:38:39]  It's disgusting.
[01:38:40]  But, do we have her phone number by any chance?
[01:38:43]  I want to do a little follow-up.
[01:38:44]  The case is in flux.
[01:38:46]  The filing was pulled, but Rana's lawyer has said they plan to refile properly and stand by the claims, looking forward to discovery.
[01:38:54]  And that's what the latest.
[01:38:56]  By the way, that's all he can say.
[01:38:57]  That's all his lawyer can say.
[01:38:58]  He's got to say face, even if he's not going to do it.
[01:39:01]  And by the way, look at this on Twitter and say, you know what a Disney character looks like?
[01:39:07]  Yeah, I'm not going to say it.
[01:39:10]  It's a guy from Toy Story.
[01:39:13]  Oh, Woody?
[01:39:14]  Woody?
[01:39:17]  He's like, if Woody and Aladdin had a wife.
[01:39:19]  Woody!
[01:39:19]  And what a good play on words, man.
[01:39:21]  Ladies and gentlemen.
[01:39:23]  Okay.
[01:39:26]  That's right.
[01:39:27]  Pat, what do you think is going on here?
[01:39:29]  I mean, this is Woody.
[01:39:30]  You can't make this up.
[01:39:32]  I mean, listen, there is, there's a lot of people.
[01:39:37]  Yeah.
[01:39:38]  The part that's confusing about this is you know, if you do something like that, what happens for the rest of your career?
[01:39:45]  Who the hell is, no, no, forget her.
[01:39:47]  She is like, to me, honestly, if I'm her, I'm like, dude, it sucks, but guess what?
[01:39:53]  There's nothing that happened that made her look bad.
[01:39:55]  Nothing.
[01:39:56]  No, no, no.
[01:39:57]  I understand that.
[01:39:58]  She just got.
[01:39:59]  Look, it helps that she's attractive.
[01:40:02]  Oh, 100%.
[01:40:03]  It helps that she's attractive.
[01:40:05]  It helps that she's a winner in New York.
[01:40:07]  She's winning.
[01:40:08]  She's doing her stuff.
[01:40:09]  But that guy, if you did something like that and it was all fake, go ahead and apply for another company to get a job.
[01:40:15]  Oh, go ahead.
[01:40:15]  It's over.
[01:40:16]  Apply for another company to get a job.
[01:40:18]  Who's going to trust you?
[01:40:19]  You want people to give you money?
[01:40:20]  You want people to trust you behind closed doors?
[01:40:22]  You're done when you make claims like this.
[01:40:24]  You won't get clients like us that are going to do business with you.
[01:40:27]  And now, if it is, again, we don't know the whole story.
[01:40:30]  Maybe he was drunk.
[01:40:31]  And he was watching horrible bosses, and this was a fantasy.
[01:40:35]  He wanted her to talk to him like that.
[01:40:37]  I don't know.
[01:40:37]  I don't know.
[01:40:37]  It's a crazy story.
[01:40:38]  It's a very good story for media, though.
[01:40:40]  Oh, for sure.
[01:40:40]  So we have to cover it.
[01:40:41]  We have to cover it.
[01:40:41]  She never drunk Dials, and especially never drunk Sue.
[01:40:44]  But are you saying that there's a chance that he's just making this all up in order to do what?
[01:40:48]  I'm 80%.
[01:40:49]  Get a lawsuit?
[01:40:49]  Oh, really?
[01:40:50]  He wants to get back at the.
[01:40:51]  Are you kidding me?
[01:40:52]  Like, there's so many companies that are walking on eggshells, frightened.
[01:40:56]  They'll just cut a check to make a story go away.
[01:40:58]  Ooh.
[01:40:59]  They'll cut a check to make a story go away all the time.
[01:41:02]  And that may have been what I.
[01:41:03]  He would have the text message.
[01:41:04]  And by the way, you know what's interesting?
[01:41:05]  Right?
[01:41:06]  I saw a news report this morning, a reputable source, that went through the bio.
[01:41:10]  Allegedly, they're saying that this is the properly researched bio of his background.
[01:41:15]  Pat, he's had like eight jobs in 12 years.
[01:41:19]  So he's a guy that stays someplace, apparently one or two.
[01:41:21]  And we go through interviewing like this.
[01:41:23]  We have software we built to help companies go through and filter.
[01:41:26]  So apparently, if that story is correct, Pat, he's like this serial job hopper.
[01:41:30]  He's a journeyman.
[01:41:33]  NBA journeyman.
[01:41:33]  I feel horrible for his Asian fish head wife.
[01:41:36]  I'll take a two year deal on the league's.
[01:41:40]  Mid cap exemption.
[01:41:42]  By the way, if this becomes a lie, imagine what his wife feels like.
[01:41:44]  Why would you say that?
[01:41:45]  Why would you put that fake line in there about me?
[01:41:47]  Can you imagine?
[01:41:50]  Like, it's like you could have said anything else.
[01:41:51]  Why are you taking shots to me?
[01:41:53]  What did I do?
[01:41:56]  You really think that about me, babe?
[01:41:58]  That's our private sweetie word.
[01:42:00]  By the way, Dom, that is the worst, honey.
[01:42:03]  She really did this.
[01:42:04]  Show me the text.

=== Oil Price Analysis Headlines (14:26) ===

[01:42:06]  She said that, and I was so upset because I don't love her, you know.
[01:42:11]  It's a very, it's just a very, I don't know.
[01:42:13]  Look, it is what it is.
[01:42:15]  I think the best part of the story is the fact that, you know, you're talking about Toy Story, you know, the relevance there and horrible bosses.
[01:42:21]  We'll see what happens.
[01:42:21]  Be careful out there at work, ladies and gentlemen.
[01:42:23]  Let me get to the next story.
[01:42:25]  Let me get to the next story.
[01:42:26]  Next story I want to get into is so we have that one with Plano.
[01:42:32]  Let me see what I haven't covered.
[01:42:33]  Rob, what story have I not gone into before we wrap up?
[01:42:37]  Boom, Oh, let's do this one, Tom.
[01:42:42]  Oil prices.
[01:42:43]  Okay.
[01:42:43]  AAA national average of gas prices soars as Iran's war remains unsettled.
[01:42:49]  Oil briefly hit $126.
[01:42:52]  And that number, we haven't hit a number like that in Four years.
[01:42:55]  When you hit a 126, you're going to be around $5 a gallon if it stays like that for too long.
[01:42:59]  Slightly higher than that, you need to get to five bucks.
[01:43:01]  But go ahead, Rob, play this clip.
[01:43:04]  The pain at the pump hitting harder.
[01:43:06]  Americans now paying the highest price for gas in four years.
[01:43:10]  Having to choose between gas and food, and that's a very hard decision.
[01:43:15]  The national average is now $4.35 a gallon for regular, up 31 cents from last week, and up $1.18 from a year ago, according to Gas Buddy.
[01:43:24]  Having to just go around and see what's The best and what's cheapest is just another thing that we have to deal with.
[01:43:31]  Prices jumping the last few days as oil prices surged.
[01:43:34]  The Strait of Hormuz closed, and the White House, in active conversations with lawmakers about congressional authorization for the war.
[01:43:41]  We'll continue to see oil go up and up and up until somebody blinks, whether it's the U.S. or Iran.
[01:43:46]  I mean, the Strait of Hormuz continues to essentially.
[01:43:49]  You know, an expert comes out and talks about how $200 oil and two other scenarios could tip the world into recession, says this global bank.
[01:43:58]  $200.
[01:44:00]  Recession, according to the latest quarterly outlook from banking giant BNP Paribas.
[01:44:05]  The broader view expressed by the bank on Wednesday is that the world economy has been dented but not derailed by the war in Iran, though it does see lower GDP growth rates, higher inflation, more hawkish central banks than it did the beginning of the year.
[01:44:17]  The prospect of oil reaching $200 doesn't seem far fetched, given the front month Brent oil contract was trading at around $114 a barrel on Wednesday, up 88% this year.
[01:44:28]  But even in this case, where oil prices don't reach that high, the French bank expects a first.
[01:44:33]  Half average of $100, the global economy is dangerously close to how BMP defines a recession.
[01:44:39]  BMP is forecasting 3% GDP growth, defines a recession at anything that's less than 2.5% worldwide.
[01:44:45]  The decade average is 3.5%.
[01:44:47]  Tom, how likely is it that oil goes to $200?
[01:44:50]  I don't think that's likely, and that's a headline they like to use.
[01:44:53]  But what is not good is oil is still way too high.
[01:44:58]  Like right now, WTI, which stands for West Texas Intermediate, if you look for oil quotes on American exchanges, that's what you'll find.
[01:45:04]  It's down almost $4 today.
[01:45:07]  To 101.
[01:45:08]  So it's almost $4 down.
[01:45:10]  It's still 101.50, I think it is right now.
[01:45:12]  And Brent, that's the other side of the world in Europe.
[01:45:17]  Brent crude, that is 114, 116 right now, still.
[01:45:23]  So this is still way too high.
[01:45:25]  And people here, oh my gosh, you know, look at the stock market doing well.
[01:45:30]  Wait, you got to ignore the stock market.
[01:45:33]  We're in earnings seasons.
[01:45:34]  AI is doing well.
[01:45:35]  A lot of things are happening.
[01:45:36]  So the Dow's at 72.50.
[01:45:38]  Excuse me, Dow's at 49,700, SP 500 at 72,50, very, very, very high.
[01:45:46]  Brent's at 109 right now, by the way.
[01:45:49]  This is just, this is bad.
[01:45:51]  It's not whether oil gets to 120, Pat.
[01:45:54]  We need oil to get down to 67 bucks, which was the 62 to 70 range it was in before the war started.
[01:46:02]  We need it to get back down and get supplies in.
[01:46:05]  And then, you know, now we have a chance to get gasoline down and it's got to happen quick.
[01:46:10]  I don't see it going to 120.
[01:46:12]  I see that as a headline people are banging around.
[01:46:15]  But right now, we need 30 bucks to come off of it in the US to take a WTI just back down to 71.
[01:46:24]  Adam.
[01:46:26]  Listen, I understand why people are a little upset that they're paying a little bit more at the pump, but I would guarantee you this people would be a lot more upset if a nuclear weapon went off in America because what Trump is doing is saying the whole short term.
[01:46:44]  paying for the long term gain.
[01:46:46]  I get it.
[01:46:47]  You're paying a dollar extra at the pump.
[01:46:49]  I get it.
[01:46:50]  But where was this outrage, this selective outrage, when in 2022 you were paying $5 at the pump?
[01:46:57]  Because Biden basically shut down the Keystone pipeline and it wasn't drill baby drill.
[01:47:02]  Where was the outrage there, everybody?
[01:47:05]  So, yes, I want people to save that money and not have to pay more at the pump.
[01:47:10]  But if your life is to the point where you're literally can't eat because you're paying a couple extra bucks a week, You got bigger issues that you got to solve in your financial life and your overall life.
[01:47:21]  And I'm not dismissing that and downplaying that.
[01:47:23]  I feel for people that are living paycheck to paycheck.
[01:47:27]  But, you know, what goes up, Musk comes down, and what goes down, Musk is going to go up.
[01:47:31]  The prices are going to go down.
[01:47:32]  It's going to take some time.
[01:47:33]  You know, Pat, you've quoted potentially by June, potentially, when the World Cup and everything comes here.
[01:47:38]  At the end of the day, this Trump is doing what nobody else had the balls or the courage to do.
[01:47:45]  Nine US presidents have all criticized and condemned Iran.
[01:47:48]  Trump was the first one who said, You know what?
[01:47:50]  Make my day, homie, Harry, dirty Harry.
[01:47:53]  So I predicted this thing's going to go down by summer.
[01:47:56]  We understand that summer, people are driving, the economy's moving.
[01:48:00]  I'll ask you one question.
[01:48:01]  I'll leave it like this Who's in a worse position now?
[01:48:05]  United States, that some people are paying a dollar more at the pump, or Iran, where their entire economy is crumbling.
[01:48:12]  People are fighting for survival.
[01:48:14]  Their Ayatollah is dead.
[01:48:15]  All their leadership is dead.
[01:48:17]  Their economy, their unemployment, their misery index, their inflation, all.
[01:48:22]  Plummeting, and yet there's a large faction on the far left and the far right who claim that America's losing because they're paying a dollar at the pump.
[01:48:30]  I'm not buying it.
[01:48:31]  That's a macro analysis, but you have to remember gasoline's up $2, Adam.
[01:48:35]  And I appreciate the macro analysis, but in the pocketbook of the average American worker, gas is $2 more.
[01:48:42]  Heating oil was up in.
[01:48:45]  Why do you say $2 more?
[01:48:46]  It was $3 a couple months ago.
[01:48:48]  No, no, no, $4.
[01:48:49]  It's $2 above the national average before the war started.
[01:48:52]  Right?
[01:48:53]  It's $2 up on that.
[01:48:54]  But where was it before the war started?
[01:48:55]  Three bucks, right?
[01:48:57]  No, The national average was down like $2.89 because you have to remember the taxes in various states.
[01:49:02]  Yeah.
[01:49:03]  And so that, and then electricity costs is up.
[01:49:05]  So let me ask you this.
[01:49:07]  Are you saying that you don't agree with Trump doing this?
[01:49:10]  No, no.
[01:49:10]  Hang on.
[01:49:11]  I'm just saying what we can't lose in the macro analysis is to have a heart for the citizens who are out there that we want to see this stuff cleaned up by mid June.
[01:49:20]  Adam, you really have a way of winning people over.
[01:49:23]  It's like such a thing that you do that's, you know, it's pretty black and white.
[01:49:28]  It's just two things.
[01:49:29]  No, it's not.
[01:49:30]  But so, are you saying that you don't continue with Trump in here?
[01:49:33]  Both things are happening.
[01:49:36]  Okay.
[01:49:37]  One, families who are dollar and gas prices increasing impact their discretionary income are going through a painful time right now.
[01:49:46]  They're feeling it.
[01:49:47]  Sure.
[01:49:47]  Two, I also understand why this is taking place and I'm hoping it ends quickly.
[01:49:53]  Okay.
[01:49:53]  I'm hoping it ends quickly.
[01:49:55]  I would support it if it's a quick thing happen and not something that takes a long time.
[01:49:58]  And I'm optimistic that everything.
[01:50:01]  Trust me, yesterday, if you were in the room, I wish that conversation would have been recorded.
[01:50:04]  What I'm more interested in is, Vinny, yesterday you were on a major Zoom with a bunch of global oil strategists and energy economists and petroleum market analysts with the leaders of OPEC that you were talking to.
[01:50:16]  I don't want to disclose their names.
[01:50:18]  What is your analysis?
[01:50:19]  What do you think is going to happen?
[01:50:20]  I think that the injection of, you know, injection fracture.
[01:50:25]  Are we back to JP Morgan?
[01:50:27]  Yeah.
[01:50:28]  You know what I'm talking about?
[01:50:28]  Like with the, with the, I got it.
[01:50:30]  That makes sense.
[01:50:31]  I totally got it.
[01:50:31]  With all the infrastructure and all the constituents that are going to be affected by this global influx of crude and natural gas, Pat, I think heating oil and gold, I'm just reading whatever.
[01:50:43]  I haven't heard anybody give a better analysis than Kenny.
[01:50:47]  Maybe the greatest analysis I've heard.
[01:50:48]  Okay, let's wrap it up here.
[01:50:49]  Bye.
[01:50:50]  Bye, bye, bye.
[01:50:51]  So we all know what happened at the White House correspondence dinner.
[01:50:53]  There was a clip of Erica Kirk running out saying, I just want to go home.
[01:50:56]  And that created a lot of people talking about it.
[01:50:58]  And then Erica Kirk.
[01:51:00]  In the last few weeks, Drewski did that one thing with her.
[01:51:03]  You got a lot of comments that are being made about her.
[01:51:06]  And then she reacted to it.
[01:51:07]  Rob, I can't do four minutes on 12.
[01:51:09]  It's right off the beginning.
[01:51:10]  Okay.
[01:51:10]  So, and she came up and she said a few words of why she went to the White House correspondence dinner, and the market reacted.
[01:51:18]  So go ahead, Rob, play the clip.
[01:51:19]  We may have big problems with illegal immigration in this country.
[01:51:23]  I have to tell you, we have an even bigger problem when it comes to this systemic indoctrination and radicalization of our own citizens.
[01:51:33]  This is what got my husband killed.
[01:51:36]  This is what has led to three legitimate attempts on President Trump's life.
[01:51:44]  And I can speak firsthand to that unbearable toll that this must take on our First Lady.
[01:51:52]  There has never been a president who has faced this many assassination attempts in Americans' entire history.
[01:51:59]  And after each one, the reaction from the far left has been, at best, a shrug.
[01:52:06]  And in some cases, a sick disappointment that the shooter was unsuccessful.
[01:52:12]  We are all human beings.
[01:52:14]  And if you can just pause.
[01:52:19]  I don't think, Rob, this is the one that went viral.
[01:52:21]  It was a short 20 second clip of what she said.
[01:52:24]  This one is the one.
[01:52:25]  Go ahead.
[01:52:25]  Play this clip.
[01:52:26]  Go ahead, Rob.
[01:52:26]  Every morning I wake up to a new headline lying about me.
[01:52:32]  I have comedians dressing up in whiteface.
[01:52:37]  I have people saying I'm not fit to be CEO.
[01:52:41]  And I have Candace Owens claiming I murdered my husband.
[01:52:44]  And the list goes on and on and on.
[01:52:50]  Okay, Vinny, your thoughts.
[01:52:53]  Before I even say anything, because I know where people are going to go, I have, by the way, I prayed for this woman.
[01:53:00]  I actually want her to succeed.
[01:53:03]  I want nothing but the best for her and Charlie's children, number one.
[01:53:09]  But she needs to step up.
[01:53:11]  Away as soon as possible.
[01:53:13]  Okay, it's gone on.
[01:53:14]  Step away as in, like, as CEO, Pat, get out of there.
[01:53:18]  You said this a while ago, but be the chair, be there.
[01:53:22]  But this is like, if you're trying to replace Charlie Kirk, God rest his soul, it's impossible.
[01:53:30]  You cannot do it.
[01:53:32]  All right, this is, he's, he was the CEO of a huge, huge international organization of political.
[01:53:42]  Organization, Pat, he's irreplaceable.
[01:53:44]  You're not going to do it.
[01:53:45]  And I'm sorry.
[01:53:46]  And people are going to be butthurt.
[01:53:48]  How dare you, grieving widow.
[01:53:50]  Enough with that nonsense.
[01:53:51]  I'm not talking about none of that.
[01:53:53]  I feel for her, okay?
[01:53:54]  Because she thought that she could replace Charlie Kirk.
[01:53:57]  You can't.
[01:53:58]  Andrew Colvin, whoever that guy is, they're sitting there doing the Charlie Kirk podcast without Charlie Kirk.
[01:54:03]  Nonsense.
[01:54:04]  Rob, go to their channel.
[01:54:06]  Go to the views of that podcast.
[01:54:08]  Don't even go back and show Charlie's because it's in the millions.
[01:54:11]  Nobody's watching it.
[01:54:12]  Nobody's watching it.
[01:54:13]  So, whoever was behind it and all the people that were behind Charlie Kirk, it's working because TPUSA Pat, they're feeling it, okay?
[01:54:20]  And I'm sorry, you show up to the White House correspondence dinner, okay?
[01:54:25]  You're taking photos with people.
[01:54:26]  People are going to talk about you.
[01:54:28]  You're taking, you went to the, The VIP thing with whatever his name is, you're taking photos.
[01:54:33]  And then there's a shooting in a place where you know, you know that the biggest targets are there.
[01:54:40]  The president has already been, the assassination attempt has already been happened twice.
[01:54:45]  All the major players are there.
[01:54:46]  You're there, there's a shooting, and you're crying saying, I wanna go home.
[01:54:51]  You should be home.
[01:54:52]  You haven't been home.
[01:54:54]  You have two children at home.
[01:54:55]  You're about to go on a tour and everything.
[01:54:57]  I'm sorry, Pat.
[01:54:58]  That's a man's job to be the CEO of Turning Point USA, Adam.
[01:55:02]  I don't care what anybody says.
[01:55:04]  That's a man's job.
[01:55:05]  I'm not bashing anything about women, but this is a political, huge organization, all right, with the biggest movement for Republicans.
[01:55:15]  And he helped the president become the president.
[01:55:17]  And I'm sorry, if you can't take the heat, that's what CEOs do.
[01:55:22]  I'm sorry.
[01:55:23]  You went there to confront your critics.
[01:55:24]  Your critics aren't there, Erica.
[01:55:26]  They're not there.
[01:55:27]  Fox is there.
[01:55:28]  CNN is there.
[01:55:30]  Those are cool people there.
[01:55:31]  They're not bashing you.
[01:55:32]  You think Candace and all these people are going to show up there?
[01:55:34]  And I'm sorry.
[01:55:35]  And again, I pray for her.
[01:55:37]  You know, I do.
[01:55:38]  I genuinely loved Charlie.
[01:55:41]  And I pray for her family.
[01:55:43]  You don't have it.
[01:55:44]  This isn't it.
[01:55:45]  This isn't your bag.
[01:55:47]  Step back.
[01:55:48]  Let somebody else take it.
[01:55:49]  Let somebody else take it.
[01:55:50]  And I say this with pain in my heart.
[01:55:53]  The people behind assassinating Charlie, this is what they wanted, Pat.
[01:55:57]  The movement's weakened.
[01:55:58]  Nobody's watching.
[01:55:59]  You know what I mean?
[01:56:00]  You're replacing it because you want to be in front of the camera.
[01:56:03]  You want to take it and then complain about it.
[01:56:05]  I'm sorry.
[01:56:06]  I'm sorry.
[01:56:06]  This is what comes.
[01:56:08]  When you want to be the CEO of Turning Point USA, because everybody's coming after you.
[01:56:12]  And when you're in front of the camera, they're all going to talk.
[01:56:15]  We all know that.
[01:56:16]  I guarantee the comments are half of them are talking crap and half of them are saying Vinny is right.
[01:56:20]  And that's what comes with the territory because I'm sitting in front of a camera in front of a mic, Pat.
[01:56:24]  She needs to just be the chair.
[01:56:26]  Sit back.
[01:56:27]  When you go on stage, Pat, fireworks.
[01:56:29]  Erica Kirk, CEO, chair.

=== Boardroom Mourning and CEO Plans (15:12) ===

[01:56:32]  This isn't the WWE.
[01:56:34]  You have children.
[01:56:36]  Go take care of them.
[01:56:37]  Go be with them.
[01:56:38]  Let somebody take the reign.
[01:56:41]  Adam.
[01:56:41]  That's how I feel.
[01:56:44]  I'll just read the Bible quote.
[01:56:46]  You shall not afflict any widow or orphan child.
[01:56:50]  If you afflict them in any way, and they cry to me, I will surely hear their cry, and my anger shall burn hot, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows, and your children orphans.
[01:57:03]  That's from Exodus in the Bible.
[01:57:07]  Whether you believe in God or not, the Bible is very explicit on how to treat a widow.
[01:57:12]  I'm talking about a widow right now.
[01:57:14]  I'll talk about the CEO in a second.
[01:57:16]  I think what people have done to Erica Kirk is just shameful and disgusting how they're treating this person as a widow.
[01:57:25]  I'll get to the CEO portion in a second.
[01:57:27]  People have to take a long look in the mirror.
[01:57:29]  I'm talking to the people that were dancing on Charlie's grave.
[01:57:32]  I'm talking about the people that are accusing Erica Kirk of killing her husband as if this benefits her at all, as if she wants to be a widow.
[01:57:40]  I don't want to go too far down that path.
[01:57:42]  To me, it's just disgusting.
[01:57:45]  Conversely, if she's in the limelight and she's in the CEO, and you're claiming that a woman can't be a CEO or whatever.
[01:57:51]  I didn't say that.
[01:57:51]  Don't put that in the limelight.
[01:57:53]  A lot of people are.
[01:57:53]  Not for Turning Point USA.
[01:57:54]  Okay.
[01:57:55]  Well, then you are.
[01:57:55]  I'm sorry.
[01:57:56]  Then you are.
[01:57:57]  I'm not.
[01:57:57]  You just blanketed me saying women can't be CEO.
[01:58:00]  I said she can't be the CEO of a political organization out of that.
[01:58:04]  The CEO was murdered.
[01:58:06]  Because that's what comes with it.
[01:58:08]  This is the territory that you're in.
[01:58:09]  You might get shot.
[01:58:11]  You think she can handle that with her two kids?
[01:58:13]  Are you delusional?
[01:58:15]  She can't handle it.
[01:58:16]  I'm the one defending the widow right now and criticizing her.
[01:58:20]  You took a biblical thing and tried to put it in a position.
[01:58:23]  You who read the Bible every day should read that book.
[01:58:25]  You're taking that one completely out of that.
[01:58:29]  I want to hear your final thought.
[01:58:30]  But my point is this.
[01:58:32]  As a if you're criticizing a widow, look in the mirror.
[01:58:35]  I'm not saying to you, Vinny, I'm saying to the rest of the world.
[01:58:38]  If you want to criticize her as a CEO and saying that this isn't her rightful job, cool, that's cool.
[01:58:44]  But isolate the two now for the third point the whole point that she's crocodile tears, performative, she doesn't really care that her husband was murdered in cold blood.
[01:58:54]  Where are we as a society that we feel like we can just jump down people's throats and criticize every word?
[01:59:01]  I get it, I got into a I don't want to say a debate, a full fledged conversation with my girlfriend.
[01:59:07]  She goes, Something's not right about her.
[01:59:09]  I don't know.
[01:59:09]  The crying, the rings, the outfits.
[01:59:12]  I go, So what are you saying?
[01:59:14]  She's like, Well, I don't know.
[01:59:15]  I just, I get a weird feeling about her.
[01:59:17]  I go, Well, do you think she killed her husband?
[01:59:20]  She goes, No, that's insane.
[01:59:22]  I go, Thank you.
[01:59:23]  Because people are conflating her crying and fireworks and her being CO with killing Charlie.
[01:59:28]  I ask one question What would Charlie think right now?
[01:59:32]  That's my guiding light.
[01:59:33]  What would Charlie think?
[01:59:35]  He would say, Oh my God, I'm hopefully in heaven while my wife is there suffering and being criticized left and right, while her husband has been shot and assassinated.
[01:59:47]  My two kids are orphans and people want to criticize her constantly.
[01:59:52]  I think that Charlie had a plan in place.
[01:59:54]  I think that Turning Point USA had a plan in place.
[01:59:56]  I think that they put her in CEO as a reason.
[01:59:59]  Do I think she's the best possible CEO?
[02:00:01]  I don't.
[02:00:02]  But for now, she's the CEO.
[02:00:04]  And she, in my opinion, is waking up every day.
[02:00:08]  As tough as it is, saying, How can I fulfill what Charlie's legacy is and what he was trying to do?
[02:00:14]  And it's not easy.
[02:00:15]  I'm going to come back to Vinny.
[02:00:16]  Go ahead.
[02:00:17]  So, a couple things.
[02:00:20]  This is a woman who had no time to mourn in the middle of not just the loss of her husband, but a national tragedy with all the weight and all the heaviness and all the media coverage and everything that went with that.
[02:00:33]  And we weren't in the boardroom.
[02:00:34]  And when the board, they have this is a nonprofit that has a board.
[02:00:38]  You can go look it up.
[02:00:38]  And there's like, Four highly experienced men that are on the board of this, the board made the decision.
[02:00:46]  Charities have boards.
[02:00:48]  And whatever was in Charlie's wishes or a transition plan, here they are.
[02:00:54]  There it is.
[02:00:55]  David Englehart, Doug DeGroote.
[02:00:57]  By the way, Pat, you and I were in a Vistage group with Doug DeGroote, Mike Miller, and Tom Sodaika.
[02:01:04]  I said, that's the board.
[02:01:06]  And the board has a fiduciary responsibility to the charity license.
[02:01:11]  To make the choice, and they made the choice, and we weren't in there for that choice.
[02:01:14]  But what I've seen unfold is the result on Erica of all the stress and everything that goes with it.
[02:01:20]  How can this be easy?
[02:01:21]  This can't be easy.
[02:01:23]  And it concerns me seeing the outcome of Turning Point USA seemingly lose momentum.
[02:01:30]  And I think that is really sad what Charlie did and how he helped with elections and was moving the hearts of kids on Christian foundation to good conservative thinking.
[02:01:42]  And to see Turning Point losing that, that bothers me.
[02:01:45]  And lastly, to the verse, I'm going to moderate here real quick on the verse.
[02:01:50]  You quoted the verse in Exodus.
[02:01:52]  That is under the Mosaic Law, and they were talking about the community's duty to take care of widows.
[02:01:58]  Why?
[02:01:59]  Women didn't work, and then didn't have economic capability to feed their children.
[02:02:04]  And so they encouraged the community take care of the widow and the fatherless in your community so we don't come into disrepute of saying that we don't care for God's kids.
[02:02:14]  Under Mosaic Law, take care.
[02:02:16]  That's what that was all about.
[02:02:18]  And I don't see where you were going, but I don't see the application here.
[02:02:23]  Yeah, okay.
[02:02:23]  Because she works?
[02:02:27]  What do you mean, because she works?
[02:02:28]  He's saying that that law was, or that that Bible verse was, they didn't work.
[02:02:32]  Women didn't work.
[02:02:34]  So the difference is because she has a job now?
[02:02:36]  You said you will not wait.
[02:02:37]  We can dismiss how widows feel?
[02:02:39]  No.
[02:02:40]  I don't.
[02:02:41]  I look at this in a very different way.
[02:02:43]  I look at this in a very different way.
[02:02:44]  Is there anything you want to tell Adam before I go?
[02:02:46]  I want to say, because Adam, you're talking about the CEO situation.
[02:02:49]  Do you realize her husband, Charlie, when he was around and when he was assassinated, Security detail, ex military, that job that he has, because she's trying to fill that role, is one of the most dangerous jobs, and that proved it right then and there.
[02:03:04]  So, you want to, I'm not, by the way, has nothing to do with a widow or not, Adam.
[02:03:08]  You're taking over a political, like, do you understand what TPUSA was?
[02:03:14]  Let me just go a different direction then, because you guys got your thoughts.
[02:03:17]  I'll give my thoughts, and my position doesn't change, but there's another element to it that I've never shared before.
[02:03:23]  So, who do you think made the decision after Charlie was killed?
[02:03:28]  For her to become the CEO?
[02:03:31]  The board or her?
[02:03:33]  The board.
[02:03:34]  I think her.
[02:03:36]  I think it was the board.
[02:03:37]  Okay.
[02:03:37]  Most organizations have a success plan that's part of the charter.
[02:03:41]  So, Tom, I'm part of the board.
[02:03:43]  What advice do you think I give?
[02:03:46]  What advice do you think I give if I'm part of the board?
[02:03:49]  You've been in plenty of board meetings with me.
[02:03:52]  You know what I would say?
[02:03:54]  So let's do two things.
[02:03:57]  Vinny says Erica chose to be the CEO.
[02:04:01]  Okay?
[02:04:02]  You're saying it's the board, you're saying it's the board.
[02:04:04]  Okay?
[02:04:04]  Can you run a poll?
[02:04:05]  I'm curious what the audience think.
[02:04:07]  Because this is where I go with this.
[02:04:11]  If it's the board, the board messed up.
[02:04:15]  Why did the board mess up?
[02:04:16]  If you ask me a question like that, do you know what I'm going to say?
[02:04:20]  I'm going to say, first of all, you know, the conversation of you being CEO today is off the table if you ask me.
[02:04:27]  Because you're going to get nonstop criticism, it needs to go to somebody else.
[02:04:34]  Let's put somebody else that can take all the arrows that is coming in.
[02:04:39]  Pick someone else.
[02:04:39]  Who?
[02:04:40]  I don't know.
[02:04:41]  It can't be you.
[02:04:42]  And I'm going to ask Erica, I'm going to say, what's the most important thing to you right now?
[02:04:48]  To be a widow, wife who lost one of the most important people in the political history ever, maybe the most important voice that we have today.
[02:04:55]  Do you want to go mourn and have the time to yourself?
[02:04:58]  Two, do you want to be a mother or do you want to be a CEO?
[02:05:01]  Which of those three is the most important to you?
[02:05:04]  That question, if she said mother or mourn, it's guess what?
[02:05:11]  I'm telling you, step away for six months and just do your thing to get those two things right.
[02:05:18]  We got it.
[02:05:20]  We'll nominate somebody to be the CEO to take all the arrows.
[02:05:23]  And it's your job.
[02:05:24]  Guess what?
[02:05:25]  All the heat, you're getting paid to take all the arrows because that's what comes with the property of being a CEO.
[02:05:31]  Now, if she says, no, I want to be CEO, then you know what I say?
[02:05:37]  Why?
[02:05:38]  Why do you want to be CEO?
[02:05:40]  What's the benefit of being CEO?
[02:05:43]  Why would you want to be CEO today?
[02:05:44]  Because here's what happens.
[02:05:46]  Like the part that makes it like that scripture you read from Exodus, old school, Moses, is fair, but generally widows step away to mourn.
[02:06:02]  Of course.
[02:06:03]  Okay.
[02:06:03]  So you have two kids.
[02:06:04]  They step away to mourn.
[02:06:06]  They step away to mourn to go do their own thing.
[02:06:09]  Okay.
[02:06:10]  And it's not like TPUSA, she was a face of it.
[02:06:13]  She was not.
[02:06:14]  He was the face of it.
[02:06:15]  That was his job.
[02:06:17]  Okay.
[02:06:18]  So you want to automatically take this position?
[02:06:21]  No.
[02:06:21]  So I think that applies to what the context was back in the days.
[02:06:25]  There's a lot, guys, there's a lot of weird conspiracy stuff about Erica that comes 24 7.
[02:06:31]  It's nonstop, it's out of control.
[02:06:35]  I've never been a fan of the jewelry.
[02:06:36]  I've told you guys when I was there myself.
[02:06:38]  I've never been a fan of the blink blink.
[02:06:40]  I've never been a fan of this.
[02:06:41]  I've said that very clearly.
[02:06:43]  I'm not.
[02:06:44]  It's overdoing it.
[02:06:45]  I never saw her with a lot of makeup.
[02:06:46]  Then I saw her with a lot of makeup.
[02:06:47]  I never saw her with a lot of jewelry.
[02:06:49]  Now I see her with a lot of jewelry.
[02:06:50]  That criticism happens when you're on the, what do you call it, on the big stage with the camera.
[02:06:55]  But to me, all of this starts off with when an event like that happens, the board has an immediate meeting.
[02:07:01]  You got to ask the question what's more important to you, being a mom, mourning as a widow, or being a CEO?
[02:07:07]  And then imagine you're in the boardroom and the answer is, I want to be CEO.
[02:07:12]  Tom, I would kind of be like, Are you sure?
[02:07:15]  Yeah.
[02:07:16]  Exactly.
[02:07:17]  Are you sure you want to be CEO?
[02:07:19]  Yes.
[02:07:19]  Fast decision.
[02:07:20]  Yeah.
[02:07:20]  And so I would have said, Guys, I don't know if I can contribute here because I don't think this is the right move.
[02:07:31]  I think the right move is to take a break, let the dust settle, get everything squared away, then go.
[02:07:38]  Then go.
[02:07:40]  Because as much as people sympathize, we were at Casa D'Angelo's yesterday.
[02:07:47]  You notice I was 10 minutes.
[02:07:48]  You're standing right next to me.
[02:07:49]  This couple there were talking.
[02:07:51]  What do you think they're talking about?
[02:07:52]  You saw what they're talking about, Charlie Kerr?
[02:07:53]  Oh, really?
[02:07:54]  Yeah.
[02:07:54]  She was talking about Charlie Kirk.
[02:07:55]  The entire conversation was about Charlie Kirk.
[02:07:58]  And she said, My oldest son, who's a grown man, was crying the day Charlie Kirk got killed.
[02:08:02]  And I was telling a story about where we were at.
[02:08:04]  And, you know, yeah.
[02:08:05]  So I don't know.
[02:08:06]  I think it goes all the way there.
[02:08:08]  So, you know what it is?
[02:08:10]  If the story comes out, it never will.
[02:08:12]  But if the story comes out from the board that the board nominated her to be the CEO, I disagree with that decision.
[02:08:20]  I think that's a bad decision.
[02:08:21]  But if the story comes out that she chose to be the CEO, then guess what?
[02:08:26]  You can't be upset with the criticism because what you're telling the world is you can handle all the heat in the world and you're willing to take it.
[02:08:35]  Then, this is a very, very nasty world we're living in.
[02:08:39]  I got a call the other day from a guy.
[02:08:41]  He asked me the weirdest question.
[02:08:43]  This is a very well known guy.
[02:08:44]  I won't mention his name because it was a private conversation.
[02:08:46]  He is the best at what he's done the last 30 years.
[02:08:50]  You know who his name is, everyone knows who this guy is.
[02:08:53]  We're going through the back and forth, and he's asking me about some of the stuff that people are calling out and this and that.
[02:08:58]  And he said, Does it bother you?
[02:09:00]  I said, no, it doesn't bother me.
[02:09:03]  He says, how do you handle it?
[02:09:05]  I said, the only thing that bothers me is like one of my friends came and he says, you know how much stuff the previous company people are saying about you?
[02:09:11]  I said, you don't need to tell me because the five people that I care about their opinions, I already know what they think and I'm good.
[02:09:17]  So don't worry about sharing it with me.
[02:09:18]  I don't need to know.
[02:09:19]  I'm at a different phase of my life.
[02:09:22]  So you know they're going to come after you.
[02:09:25]  You know they're going to come and target you.
[02:09:28]  You know they're going to do it.
[02:09:32]  Not everybody's a Christian.
[02:09:33]  Not everybody lives by the same rules.
[02:09:36]  Social media is nasty.
[02:09:37]  Just go look at the stuff that they comment.
[02:09:38]  It's very, very ugly.
[02:09:40]  Comedians are going to come after you.
[02:09:42]  The approach is to laugh at it.
[02:09:44]  The approach is to say, hey, you know what?
[02:09:47]  I guess you know you've made it if Drewski is doing something about you.
[02:09:50]  So people move away.
[02:09:52]  You know, I guess, you know, who had the worst situation in the last few years that changed his reputation?
[02:09:59]  Tom Brady.
[02:10:00]  What did they make fun of him of?
[02:10:01]  They did a road.
[02:10:03]  It was the worst, like the stuff that happened.
[02:10:06]  So you were for, you know, a week, two weeks, a month, you were probably one of the most searched names in the world.
[02:10:12]  Because everybody wants to know what you were.
[02:10:14]  And you gave your message, the world stopped, the world watched.
[02:10:17]  So I don't know.
[02:10:18]  For me, as much as I see all of this stuff and let me tell you it's not fair, this, it's not fair, that, I shouldn't be the CEO, I want to know what the board did.
[02:10:27]  I want to go back to that board meeting.
[02:10:29]  Because if all those people are board members, did you guys really recommend her to be the CEO?
[02:10:35]  Did you?
[02:10:36]  Why?
[02:10:37]  Why put that burden on somebody like that?
[02:10:39]  Why?
[02:10:40]  I don't know.
[02:10:42]  When Tom was in a bad situation, And by the way, I'm sure they're good people.
[02:10:45]  If we were part of the same vestige, I'm trying to remember him.
[02:10:47]  I don't remember.
[02:10:48]  This was probably in Northridge, California when we were a part of that.
[02:10:52]  It was a long time ago.
[02:10:53]  Yeah, it was a long time ago, 20 years ago, 15 years ago.
[02:10:56]  But to me, the board has to make the decisions that are not about pleasing somebody, it's what's best for the organization at that time.
[02:11:05]  And by the way, I'm just given my thoughts.
[02:11:09]  I'm not given, like, you know, you said something that's very similar to what Whitlock said.
[02:11:12]  A lot of the points you hit are the points that Whitlock hit.
[02:11:16]  And I saw that and I thought he was being fair on what he said.
[02:11:18]  And I watch a lot of this stuff the last 24 hours because I'm trying to see what people are saying.
[02:11:24]  Did he say that she shouldn't be?
[02:11:27]  Yeah, he said you should step down.
[02:11:29]  He said, yeah, that part you didn't agree with the woman part.
[02:11:32]  No, but that's what he said.
[02:11:34]  But to me, Vinny, to me, where I'm at, so to me, where I'm at is that board meeting.
[02:11:41]  If there's anything I want to know, I don't want to see text exchanges, email exchanges, I don't want to know anything.

=== Charlie's Birthday Shadow Onus (13:46) ===

[02:11:45]  I want to know what happened in that board meeting and what was advised.
[02:11:49]  What?
[02:11:51]  And then everything goes from there.
[02:11:53]  If she wanted this job, you got to take all the criticism that's coming.
[02:11:58]  If they told you to do it, why would you recommend a widow to be a CEO right after her husband got killed?
[02:12:04]  Why?
[02:12:06]  So that's my criticism.
[02:12:08]  All the other stuff, the jewelry stuff, yeah, it's not my stuff, but everybody's different.
[02:12:12]  Vinny likes these, what do you call it, type of watches?
[02:12:14]  What do you call that?
[02:12:15]  A transformer type of watch.
[02:12:17]  Transformer type of watch.
[02:12:18]  Adam doesn't drive cars.
[02:12:19]  It's better for society.
[02:12:21]  Like speaking Spanish, it's Uber Drive.
[02:12:22]  Right?
[02:12:23]  Hard bad.
[02:12:23]  Tom has his own things that he does.
[02:12:25]  Everybody is different.
[02:12:26]  Four women.
[02:12:27]  But you cannot expect to be the position that you're in without getting an unfair level of scrutiny.
[02:12:35]  And you have to ask yourself when you're privately by yourself how much of it did I attract?
[02:12:39]  How much of it could it have been avoided?
[02:12:41]  And that's a tough conversation to have.
[02:12:42]  But long term, by the way, if all of a sudden, because it's this event, the tour is then canceled, what does it say?
[02:12:48]  Who do you think chose to become the CEO?
[02:12:50]  53% are saying Erica Kirk.
[02:12:53]  Well, how does that work if they all have a say?
[02:12:56]  They're board members.
[02:12:57]  If she's like, I'm not saying that she did this, but if she's like, I want to be the CEO.
[02:13:00]  Okay, let me ask you say she said she wants to be the CEO.
[02:13:03]  You're a board member.
[02:13:04]  What do you say?
[02:13:05]  You can actually give good advice and not be afraid of giving the, you know, what do you call it, the controversial advice.
[02:13:11]  What would you really say if she said she wants to be?
[02:13:13]  Give her advice as a sister.
[02:13:14]  Well, number one, how quickly did they make this?
[02:13:18]  Quickly, very quickly.
[02:13:20]  Seven days.
[02:13:21]  Okay.
[02:13:21]  Seven days.
[02:13:22]  Obviously, everyone was still in shock.
[02:13:24]  It's a week later.
[02:13:25]  I think the number one question they would ask is, Are you really ready for this?
[02:13:29]  Are you really ready?
[02:13:30]  What?
[02:13:30]  No, forget about what they said.
[02:13:31]  What would you say?
[02:13:33]  If I was a board member.
[02:13:33]  She says, I want to be the CEO.
[02:13:36]  If she came and said that?
[02:13:37]  Yeah.
[02:13:38]  I would.
[02:13:39]  I would gently grill her.
[02:13:41]  Well, why do you want to be the CEO?
[02:13:43]  Do you think you're.
[02:13:44]  Is that not a natural state to question that?
[02:13:47]  Of course, you have to.
[02:13:48]  So, to me, a part of this, Adam, is on two people, her or the board, nobody else.
[02:13:55]  Well, nobody else.
[02:13:56]  So, it doesn't go anywhere.
[02:13:58]  And I don't want to go deeper into this because I know people are going to call me and say, I can't believe you're doing this, you're doing that.
[02:14:02]  Well, you're already in it.
[02:14:03]  Yeah.
[02:14:04]  And you've said your position, nothing that you said today was different, but we're kind of Monday, Marty and Cardigan.
[02:14:09]  Where do you think it goes from here?
[02:14:11]  Because she is the CEO, whether the board or her.
[02:14:14]  Oh, no.
[02:14:14]  Where it goes from here.
[02:14:15]  Where do you think it goes from here?
[02:14:16]  It's not about where you go from here.
[02:14:18]  You put yourself in this situation, man up.
[02:14:20]  Nobody told you to be the CEO.
[02:14:21]  Woman up.
[02:14:22]  You know, you got to do it.
[02:14:23]  Well, guess what?
[02:14:24]  That's the criticism.
[02:14:25]  Yeah.
[02:14:26]  Well, don't you think whoever was the CEO, if not for her, whoever would have been, knowing today's society and climate and commentators, if they would have picked Bill McGee or whatever.
[02:14:36]  I disagree.
[02:14:36]  They'd be like, he killed Charlie.
[02:14:38]  I disagree.
[02:14:38]  He killed Charlie.
[02:14:39]  I disagree.
[02:14:39]  Why?
[02:14:40]  I disagree.
[02:14:40]  They would have done that to anybody, my opinion.
[02:14:42]  And by the way, At a what scale?
[02:14:45]  Same scale or less?
[02:14:47]  If someone came out of the blue.
[02:14:49]  No, no.
[02:14:49]  Or even one of the board members that didn't know who you choose as a CEO at this position?
[02:14:54]  Do you know what type of a CEO you choose when someone like this happens?
[02:14:56]  Old and stable.
[02:14:57]  You choose the most boring person that's trusted, and that person does it because it's an interim CEO.
[02:15:05]  Yes.
[02:15:05]  That's the thing.
[02:15:06]  Then you come back six, 12 months later after everything is gone and running a poll, getting the audience involved and let the audience say, We want Erica to be the CEO.
[02:15:19]  Then she says, I'm willing to take the job.
[02:15:21]  The sequencing was out of whack.
[02:15:24]  So, again, I'm not, I've always, you know, Charlie always had an offer where he could always call me and he would call him and we would have, you know, many different types of conversations and I enjoyed every one of them.
[02:15:36]  So, to me, it's actually binary.
[02:15:39]  You chose to be the CEO, lots of pressure comes with that.
[02:15:43]  The board said, You better be the CEO, and then the board screwed up.
[02:15:47]  It's that simple.
[02:15:48]  When you say binary, meaning if you're going to take the job, be ready for the job.
[02:15:52]  You don't have a choice.
[02:15:53]  By the way, you know why I would say don't take the job as a CEO?
[02:15:57]  Do you know why I would say don't take the job as a CEO?
[02:15:59]  What's up?
[02:16:01]  Because the widow component?
[02:16:02]  No, not at all.
[02:16:03]  Not at all.
[02:16:04]  Never, ever, ever follow, to put the pressure of being the shadow of a person that is a one of one.
[02:16:14]  You never put the pressure of replacing the shadow is so massive.
[02:16:20]  That's your husband.
[02:16:22]  That is not a fair competition.
[02:16:24]  You're not going to replace him.
[02:16:26]  You're not going to be able to do what he does.
[02:16:27]  There is no winning for you.
[02:16:28]  I don't think she's trying to replace him.
[02:16:30]  I think she's trying to fill him with the legacy.
[02:16:33]  But they have to think that way.
[02:16:35]  They have to think that way.
[02:16:36]  And to say that the shadow is there and then the board made the decision, okay, well, I don't know.
[02:16:46]  To me, it's problematic and it starts from there.
[02:16:48]  So either the onus goes on the.
[02:16:51]  Or the onus goes on her.
[02:16:53]  And that part of the criticism, dude, if something happened to, and I don't want to compare, but if something happens and you raise your hand for the job, you know what this means?
[02:17:08]  What do you think this means?
[02:17:09]  I'm ready.
[02:17:09]  Let's go.
[02:17:11]  No, what else does this mean?
[02:17:13]  What else does it mean?
[02:17:14]  You're losing the right to what?
[02:17:16]  To complain?
[02:17:17]  Complain.
[02:17:17]  About what?
[02:17:18]  Any criticism?
[02:17:19]  Anything.
[02:17:20]  The road ahead.
[02:17:21]  Yeah.
[02:17:21]  But I think this is me.
[02:17:24]  From a business perspective, I'm with you.
[02:17:27]  From a moral perspective, the lies out there, the accusations, that's not, doesn't it come with the territory?
[02:17:34]  Yes, it does.
[02:17:34]  There's no other CEO in America who's accused of killing the former CEO.
[02:17:38]  He's going to come with the territory.
[02:17:40]  And Kai has to be the president.
[02:17:40]  Well, that's a sad state of affairs in society.
[02:17:43]  When just because he's the CEO, are you ready to be accused of murdering him?
[02:17:46]  The guy at the top had three assassination attempts on him, accused of being a pedophile.
[02:17:52]  You know, they were accusing him of having sex with his daughter.
[02:17:55]  Yep.
[02:17:55]  You remember that?
[02:17:56]  What's bigger than that?
[02:17:57]  I mean, do you realize?
[02:17:58]  It's absurd.
[02:18:00]  But that's part of the pressure.
[02:18:02]  You chose to be the president.
[02:18:03]  Yep.
[02:18:04]  Don't feel bad.
[02:18:05]  I'm not going to sympathize for you.
[02:18:07]  I hear you.
[02:18:07]  He chose this job.
[02:18:08]  And he asked one question, and I want you to answer it.
[02:18:11]  You said, because you were like, oh, everybody's going after.
[02:18:13]  If Charlie right now would look down at him and say something to her, what do you think Charlie would say?
[02:18:18]  You think Charlie Kirk would say, keep, take my, what do you think he would say?
[02:18:22]  What would Charlie say?
[02:18:23]  Hold on.
[02:18:23]  He would have his wife's back.
[02:18:25]  Hold on.
[02:18:25]  Understand the challenges that she's.
[02:18:27]  So what would he say to her in regard to this situation before she's CEO?
[02:18:30]  What do you say to her?
[02:18:31]  Something tells me that she and him, that she's praying to him nonstop.
[02:18:35]  And something, I think we forget one thing.
[02:18:38]  This woman did just come out of the blue.
[02:18:40]  Forget about the CEO for a second.
[02:18:41]  This was this man's wife.
[02:18:43]  I understand that.
[02:18:44]  They had kids together.
[02:18:45]  You know, you were talking about the last person you were here.
[02:18:47]  Do you know the conversations they had as he was building this company?
[02:18:51]  Look, what do you say to her?
[02:18:52]  What do you think Charlie would say?
[02:18:54]  God rest his soul, he's gone.
[02:18:56]  And he has a moment.
[02:18:58]  I'm curious, what does he tell her in that moment?
[02:19:00]  To be the CEO and take over everything?
[02:19:02]  Do you think he's basically saying, You're doing a horrible job?
[02:19:05]  I didn't say afterward.
[02:19:06]  I'm saying, In that moment.
[02:19:07]  Encouraging her and understanding the challenges.
[02:19:11]  Take care and raise our children.
[02:19:13]  You're financially set for life.
[02:19:15]  Why didn't she pick that at the beginning, Adam?
[02:19:17]  And by the way, that's where the criticism comes from.
[02:19:19]  That's the criticism now.
[02:19:20]  And guess what?
[02:19:22]  This is not about, there's a reason why I don't touch this topic.
[02:19:27]  There's one reason why I don't like to touch this topic because of one guy.
[02:19:31]  Surely.
[02:19:31]  That's it.
[02:19:32]  I don't like to touch this topic.
[02:19:33]  It's a weird thing to have this conversation.
[02:19:35]  I feel it in my room right now.
[02:19:37]  I speak here, assuming Andrew, one of the guys, is going to watch it and say, Now we know where they're at, and I'm very comfortable with my positions.
[02:19:47]  I won't go to sleep losing sleep over the fact that I'm being unfair.
[02:19:51]  I don't worry about that.
[02:19:53]  What I'm saying to you is if this is my daughter, if this is my sister, my advice would be not right now.
[02:20:02]  That would be my advice not right now.
[02:20:04]  Okay?
[02:20:05]  And, you know, all the other stuff when people say stuff from both sides well, let me tell you, I think Charlie this, I think Charlie that.
[02:20:13]  Those conversations are different conversations, but.
[02:20:17]  This is a very delicate situation.
[02:20:19]  So, I want to wrap up with this last story and then we finish up.
[02:20:23]  It is a Friday, so let's go with this story.
[02:20:26]  Let's have some good news before we.
[02:20:28]  I want to do this story here and then we'll wrap up.
[02:20:30]  Okay.
[02:20:31]  And we'll go and finish it up here.
[02:20:33]  So, that story that I sent you?
[02:20:37]  No, this is it.
[02:20:37]  This is Y47, Vinny.
[02:20:40]  Wow.
[02:20:41]  This is hilarious.
[02:20:42]  Is the age you hit peak happiness according to science?
[02:20:47]  Rob, can you please pull this up?
[02:20:48]  Okay.
[02:20:49]  According to this article, you know what it means?
[02:20:52]  What?
[02:20:53]  Yesterday was the last day you peaked.
[02:20:57]  I was happy.
[02:20:58]  Because today, the great Vincent O'Shanna turns 48 years old today.
[02:21:04]  I'm not happy anymore.
[02:21:04]  You're done.
[02:21:05]  I'm not happy anymore.
[02:21:06]  Hack it in, buddy.
[02:21:07]  Come on in, guys.
[02:21:08]  Come on in.
[02:21:09]  Come on in.
[02:21:09]  I'm depressed now, bro.
[02:21:11]  The one and only Vincent O'Shanna turns 48.
[02:21:14]  Bring the cake, the balloon, so we can start singing.
[02:21:19]  Oh, no.
[02:21:19]  Are we together?
[02:21:20]  Is your brother here?
[02:21:21]  My younger brother is here.
[02:21:22]  On three.
[02:21:23]  One, two, three.
[02:21:24]  Happy birthday to you.
[02:21:28]  Happy birthday to you.
[02:21:31]  Vincenzo.
[02:21:32]  Happy birthday, dear Vinny.
[02:21:36]  We love you.
[02:21:36]  Happy birthday to you.
[02:21:40]  Happy birthday, Vinny.
[02:21:41]  Oh, man.
[02:21:43]  Bingo.
[02:21:44]  Wow.
[02:21:45]  Vincent and Shauna.
[02:21:46]  Thank you, guys.
[02:21:47]  As everybody knows, he knows.
[02:21:49]  I know you know.
[02:21:49]  I tell people all the time I'm not a birthday guy.
[02:21:52]  My birthday, I call my mother Pat because it's my mom's day.
[02:21:55]  My mom did everything.
[02:21:57]  I'm here right now because of my mom.
[02:21:59]  I love your mom.
[02:22:00]  Sweet Lana, we love you.
[02:22:01]  So I don't take any credit.
[02:22:02]  I'm just here.
[02:22:03]  But I want to say I am so blessed, so lucky.
[02:22:06]  That God put you in my life.
[02:22:09]  I'm here.
[02:22:09]  I'm the best version of me I've ever been.
[02:22:11]  I'm surrounded by my brothers here who I freaking adore.
[02:22:14]  I have the best family.
[02:22:15]  I have the best friends.
[02:22:16]  I have the best groups.
[02:22:17]  Everybody here, everybody at Valutamin, everybody at home.
[02:22:20]  I appreciate you guys and I love you guys with all of my heart.
[02:22:23]  God bless everybody.
[02:22:24]  And this is, yeah, this is one of those moments, Pat.
[02:22:27]  It's not about me.
[02:22:27]  It's about my mom and my dad.
[02:22:29]  You're 47 today?
[02:22:29]  I'm 48 and I was happy last night.
[02:22:33]  So shut up.
[02:22:35]  But I love you guys.
[02:22:36]  Thank you guys so much.
[02:22:37]  Thank you, Vinny.
[02:22:37]  Thank you.
[02:22:39]  Well, I got to say one thing about Vinny.
[02:22:41]  Because four years ago this month, you joined Value Fitness.
[02:22:45]  Ready for this?
[02:22:45]  This is how special this month is, Pat?
[02:22:47]  What's your point, Adam?
[02:22:47]  May 10th is four years.
[02:22:49]  May 31st, Kelly's birthday, is my three years sober.
[02:22:53]  Bingo.
[02:22:53]  I remember.
[02:22:54]  It's that month.
[02:22:54]  So happy you're here, brother.
[02:22:56]  You know, one of the most common Manette questions I get, you know, are you and Vinny really fighting?
[02:23:01]  I can't believe.
[02:23:01]  We do.
[02:23:02]  We fight like this.
[02:23:03]  We fight like brothers.
[02:23:04]  Yeah, I love it.
[02:23:04]  And then right after this, we'll go have lunch.
[02:23:06]  100%.
[02:23:07]  This guy will make me lunch sometimes.
[02:23:08]  Yep.
[02:23:09]  I love you.
[02:23:09]  I'm so glad you're here.
[02:23:10]  Thank you.
[02:23:11]  And the future looks bright.
[02:23:12]  How about to say this to you, Vinny?
[02:23:13]  You know, I've had interactions with a lot of people in my life and I've met a lot of cool people in my life.
[02:23:20]  You are one of the coolest cats I've ever met in my entire life.
[02:23:27]  Thank you.
[02:23:27]  Genuineness, your heart, your character.
[02:23:31]  My kids love you.
[02:23:32]  Our family loves you.
[02:23:34]  My dad loves you.
[02:23:36]  You're one of a kind, man.
[02:23:37]  And I'm so glad that DM started on Instagram and it led to this cake I had from your mom this morning that your brother brought in and him being here.
[02:23:46]  Seeing you going from there to the example you're setting to people around today, my boys look up to you.
[02:23:52]  My sons look up to you.
[02:23:53]  And when they see Uncle Vinny, they're the happiest when he's around them.
[02:23:56]  Brooklyn, can't wait to wish you a happy birthday.
[02:23:58]  Can't wait.
[02:24:00]  And when you shared the gift, he told us the gift that you gave this morning to him that you messed him up before the podcast.
[02:24:05]  That's a sick gift that you gave.
[02:24:07]  You ruined me.
[02:24:08]  1973 watch that your mother gave to your father.
[02:24:13]  Yep.
[02:24:14]  And he had it restored.
[02:24:14]  Fixed the watch, restored it, and gave it to you this morning.
[02:24:16]  Yeah.
[02:24:17]  Yeah.
[02:24:17]  Try to top that gift, Tom.
[02:24:19]  Wow.
[02:24:20]  I mean, I told Mateo real quick, take my gift out of here.
[02:24:26]  Pat, like, he gives it to me right there.
[02:24:28]  And I'm like, I'm about to get emotional.
[02:24:29]  I'm like, I got to go in front of the camera right now.
[02:24:31]  But, Pat, I love you.
[02:24:32]  Thank you.
[02:24:32]  Love you too.
[02:24:33]  Thank you so much.
[02:24:33]  When I'm not there, because they're all in California, which we always talk about, this is my family.
[02:24:38]  When I'm at your house, when I'm all around them and we're eating dinners, and Dylan's sitting on me here, Tico's over here, Senna and all of them are running around, it's like my family away from my family.
[02:24:47]  And I love you and I appreciate you.
[02:24:48]  Well, God willing, one day everybody will move here.
[02:24:50]  He'll get his act together and he'll move to Florida.
[02:24:52]  Then we got to get mom.
[02:24:53]  We got to get all of them.
[02:24:54]  We got to get everybody.
[02:24:55]  Everybody.
[02:24:56]  We're going to start growing the Syrian community in South Florida for a little bit, though.
[02:25:00]  Please.
[02:25:00]  All right, for everybody watching, guys, do me a favor.
[02:25:02]  Go Manecta guy.
[02:25:02]  Wish him a happy birthday.
[02:25:03]  Send him some love.
[02:25:04]  And can I say one thing, Pat?
[02:25:05]  Of course.
[02:25:06]  Valutainment Comedy.
[02:25:07]  Rob, can you put that link on?
[02:25:08]  We're at 990,000.
[02:25:10]  Stop.
[02:25:11]  All we need to do is run to a million.
[02:25:14]  Less than 10,000 away from one million.
[02:25:16]  Everybody sub.

[02:25:18]  That's my gift.

[02:25:26]  One million.
[02:25:27]  Yeah.
[02:25:28]  Happy birthday, gang.
[02:25:29]  Have a great weekend.
[02:25:30]  God bless.
[02:25:30]  We'll do it again on Monday.
[02:25:31]  Bye-bye.
[02:25:31]  Bye-bye.
