Believing In A Bright Future00:03:35
Did you ever think you were making it?
I feel on something, so I could taste sweet victory.
I know this life meant for me.
Adam, what's your point?
The future looks bright.
My handshake is better than anything I ever signed.
It's right here.
You are a one on one person, right there.
I don't think I've ever said this before.
All right, so hope everybody.
Tom, we're live.
So, hope everybody.
That's the one thing about Tom, folks.
Tom is a.
Everybody, look, the surveys came back.
Who's a bigger professional interrupter?
Is it Adam or Tom?
They're big.
Obviously, Adam's the, you know, we have to kind of figure that out.
But privately, like, you know, some people that act so properly when the camera's on and the camera's off.
That's Tom.
Camera's on.
Tom's proper camera's off.
He's interrupting all of us all the time.
Like, we can't start our day without 50 interruptions.
But here's one thing you have to realize with the survey.
We learned one thing for a fact.
You guys love Tom.
My God, you love Tom.
Rob, don't they love Tom?
Be honest, Rob.
They do.
They love Tom.
Tom, so much, and if you love Tom that much, send him a minute and tell him you love him because Tom loves you so much that out of respect for the audience, he shaved his mustache and his beard for the first time since Nixon was president.
He has shaved his mustache, and we're grateful for it, Tom.
You're amazing.
We're trying to figure out what the story is right now.
We don't know, but hopefully, everybody out there that's watching this, you had a great Mother's Day weekend.
We did all these surprises.
I got up about all this stuff.
You know, we got this big balloon set up in the house, and then in the morning, Brooklyn and Sonna come, they're like, Let's go to the store.
We want to buy our own thing.
So, anyways, we go to the store.
I got to tell you this story.
It's crazy.
I'm at the store and I get a half a pound of martadella.
I don't know if you guys like martadella or not.
I love martadella.
I can eat martadella all day long.
It has the olives in it?
And I get the martadella and I cut my mushrooms.
It's a portobello mushroom.
Portobello mushrooms.
And I make it the omelette that I make.
It's the greatest omelette in the world.
I don't know if anybody can do any better omelettes than that.
I could start a side business group building omelettes.
But I go to this store, whatever store it is, it's within this area, at least buy food.
And the lady looks at me with an attitude.
She looks like a Russian Albanian looking lady.
And probably in her early 50s, she looks at my shirt.
I have a Future Looks Bright shirt on.
She says, You really believe that?
I said, Yeah.
You really believe the future looks bright?
I said, Absolutely.
You don't?
No, I don't believe the future looks bright.
I said, Here's the problem.
She says, What's that?
I said, Both of us are going to be right.
She says, What do you mean?
I said, Well, I know one thing.
If I believe the future looks crappy like you do, you're going to be 100% right.
I said, But I'm willing to take the risk of believing the future looks bright, even if there's 10% chance that's bright.
Even if it's only 20%, I'm taking it.
Then she says, Yeah, I don't know if that's the right mindset.
I said, Don't you believe in God?
She says, I believe in God.
I said, How do you not believe the future looks bright if you believe in God?
She says, But that's after you die, Adam.
That's after you die.
You want to put your headset up?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's after you died is when you realize the future looks bright.
And she says, I said, No.
I said, You can believe the future looks bright today.
Anyways, sometimes it's so funny, like you're going through and you're wondering how that mindset is.
Oh, man, nothing's working out.
Everything's going to go wrong if it's going to.
Choose your mindset daily, folks.
That's all I will tell you.
Whatever you do, you choose your mindset.
Faith Versus Immediate Hope00:09:39
Now, of course, we got a lot of stories to go through.
And for some of you guys that are waiting for the survey, we're going to send that to you as well because it's finally ready.
I'll show it to you.
And if you're one and one wearing this, I'll get to this in a minute.
There's a guy in California that wants to sell you diapers and indirectly charge you 30 cents more and then somehow, some way, find a way for it to benefit his wife.
I think his name is Gia.
What's his first name?
How does his first name?
It's Gavan Youssoum.
Gavan Youssoum.
Right.
Good looking guy, tall, very well spoken, loves to move his hands.
I mean, I don't know anybody that moves his hands more than he does.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
And by the way, what's crazy is there's not a day I go on X where somebody random says, This guy's impersonation of Gavin Newsom is perfect.
And it's Vinny's video.
I see it every day.
Number two, Globalist Unite, folks.
Oh, yeah.
Globalist Unite.
It's a big party, Canada.
Carney got together with this guy named Barack Hussein Obama and another guy named Alex Soros.
Father's name was Jorge.
They got together to talk about a few different things.
We don't know what the.
Maybe they were playing backgammon.
Sometimes you jump to a conclusion, Vinny.
Don't know.
They could have been playing Uno.
You're right.
Maybe they're playing FIFA soccer.
Who knows what they're doing?
They could be just talking.
Or they could be talking about how I can undermine President Trump and make his life a living kill.
I don't know, but we're speculating.
Number three, let me get to the next one here.
Today, you know what's special about today?
Today's the last day if they're going to hold this guy named Fauci accountable because it's five years.
And today is the 11th, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, Rob?
It is the 11th.
So come on, Rampo.
Come on.
A lot of people are like, well, you know, I don't know.
I don't know if we should do it.
I don't know if we shouldn't do it because he's got this part and all this other stuff.
Millions of people want to see you do it.
Now, Costco figured something out, folks.
Costco figured out that you and I are not ordering enough beef lately.
And when we go to the store, we're ordering chicken and pork.
And that's a problem, Vinny.
When you don't order real beef, instead, you order chicken or pork.
That's a sign of possible recession being around the corner.
Okay.
It's a sign of possible.
And by the way, the last two times I got it right, Costco.
Okay.
The last two times I got it right, allegedly, with the stink here.
So it's like the big short type situation.
Yeah.
I say this weekend, we all, every person that follows the podcast here, we all go buy beef this weekend.
Just to kind of change it up.
Can you imagine Costco all of a sudden going in and said, No, you got chicken?
I'm not buying chicken.
Just beef.
No.
Is what I want to buy.
Buyers are happy as hell right now.
Anyways, yeah, they're just freaking out in a big way.
It is.
You're right.
And then next one here.
Rob and Vinny show me this video.
I don't know if I like it or if I hate it because if you sleep with white noise, I have to.
I love white noise.
Yes.
Like, you know, and I picked it up in the army because in the army we had these shuffle, what do you call it?
These heaters.
That they would have this loud noise all night and you would sleep like a little baby.
In Utah, they're building this 62 square mile data center, Rob.
That Kevin O'Leary is there.
People are losing their mind saying, don't build it.
To kind of put perspective on what 62 square mile is, that's three Manhattans.
Let me say it one more time.
That's three Manhattans in one area, and you should hear the sound this thing makes.
It's nuts, the sound that it makes.
We'll show that clip.
You got to see what's going on there with these data centers.
Next, Bibi did an interview.
Adam was taking a lot of notes.
He wrote a thesis paper on it.
And so we're going to get a third one.
Yeah, that's right.
We're going to get an update on that.
By the way, Bibi does not look good.
He does not look healthy.
A lot of people were saying, and of course, we know, hopefully, he's doing okay for himself and recovering from, Vinnie, you said prostate cancer.
I'll look it up.
I know he had cancer and he beat it.
But he looks like he's going through it.
But there were a lot of good questions that were asked.
We'll address that as well.
Next one we got here is the peace deal with Iran.
Trump wants to get that done before he goes to.
China Rob, what is the meeting with G this week?
It's coming up on Wednesday.
And then in New York, you got this guy named Mamdani who decides to turn the chief, who's got a little bit of an accent.
I don't know if he's Polish or Russian, but he's being asked, and he's like, That's not my mayor.
And so, you know what happens to the chief?
The guy gets demoted to a 911 operator.
Can you imagine you go from being a chief to a 911 operator?
That's like going from being the president to being the mayor of Chaz, right?
Like you got demoted, Vinny.
They just did that to him.
So, You know, so he is now doing the.
And then, by the way, there's videos, Rob.
I know you got those videos you were telling me about.
The George Washington Bridge.
What was falling apart, Rob?
A beam from the bridge fell as a driver was going underneath.
I mean, that's okay.
What's the big deal with that?
He's going to fix it.
He's going to find a guy that's willing to give a free beam to fix that thing for him.
It's coming to New York City very soon.
And then we got a couple other stories.
New York City has lost 150,000 students in their public schools.
150,000 students.
Now, This is either because New York City middle income got so rich that they're all putting them in private schools now, or because they left to a different place.
And then Spencer Pratt was asked a question.
Spencer Pratt is becoming a rock, so I had a great conversation with him this weekend.
Spencer Pratt was asked about the comparison between him and Mamdani.
And you have to see it.
Rob, did you find it, or you haven't found it?
Okay, you know which one I'm talking about where he makes the comparison of the free?
We'll show it to you.
You're definitely going to love that one as we go through it.
And then, of course, we've got a couple other stories we're going to go through.
On what's going on.
I don't like Wemby getting kicked out with that elbow.
You know, he was having his Ron Artest moment.
I don't like it.
I know the score was still tight 109, 114 at the end.
I'd like to see San Antonio Spurs win because I like Wemby.
Wemby's a tough guy.
And all these people that are bitching about SGA flopping and all this stuff.
Guess who he learned it from?
LeBron James.
So stop talking about SGA is flopping.
His coach was Chris Paul and LeBron James, the greatest flopper of all time.
How about them Nicki and.
Oh my god, 144.
They swept these guys, they swept the 76ers.
And by the way, the yeah, and by the way, you know, based on the survey, to bring this up, you know what I love about this?
We asked questions we shouldn't have asked, and some of you guys, you were brutally honest, and we appreciate you for it.
We did that intentionally.
Adam's very thankful for all of you guys with the report, love you guys because it was very thorough.
But one of the topics was how much you guys love us talking about sports, and you want us to spend 80% doing sports instead of anything else.
I said, I was thinking about it.
I said, no, I don't want to do it because we don't want to embarrass all the other sports shows.
We're going to give them a pass and we're going to stick to the things that we're talking about.
But if you're somebody that wants to see the survey, almost 16,000 of you ended up doing the survey.
We're thankful for all of you.
And by the way, those of you guys that activated the 25, I loved it.
Some of the guys were like, I'm doing it right now, gone.
And guess what?
We gave it.
We have no problem with that.
But if you want the survey results and you haven't gotten it yet, text the word PBD to 310 340 1132 and we will send you the survey.
Right now, it's ready.
Rob, can you show a clip?
Can you just go to the survey and show what it looks like?
Go a little bit lower.
I mean, it explains everything our audience, breakdown, percentage of Republicans, business owners.
It's seven pages.
We can pause it right there.
So if you want to see the whole breakdown of the survey that was done, text the word PBD to 310 340 1132.
Again, text the word PBD to 310 340 1132 to get the entire report.
And those of you guys that haven't activated your $25 gift card, it's in your email from Shopify.
You can get that activated.
And if you have somebody that served in the military, or if you are a veteran yourself in the military, I was in the Army, proud, 101st Airborne Division, aerosol, 63 Bravo Charlie with a Hotel 8 qualification.
You know, great time at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Fort Jackson.
Some great memories of me being in the military.
Memorial Day is coming up next week, Rob.
Is it two weeks from now?
For those of you guys that want to sport, if you want to go to the side, Army gear that says future looks bright on the bottom of it with VT.
Or Army shirt, or Marine, or Air Force, or you have somebody in your family who watches the podcast, who believes the future looks bright, who has an optimistic personality, who believes things are going to fall in a good place, go to vtmerch.com, Rob.
Let's put the link below for the veterans collection that you can go to.
Pick yourself up.
That's one of my favorite hats as well.
That military, you see that camo hat with Future Looks Bright?
It's sick.
If you're a vet, or if you have somebody in your family that's a vet, go to vtmerch.com, place your order.
Vinny, I think you want to do something.
I want to say what's up because Memorial Day, I want people to understand, is the most important day because it's not about.
The barbecues and everything.
It's for all the men, women, brothers, sisters, fathers that laid down their life.
As much as people want to talk crap about this country and judge us, the people that served, that lost their lives, God bless them.
God bless their families because if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be able to be here and complain and talk all the crap that you want to.
And you'd be probably speaking a different accent of a different country.
And I will proudly, even though my kids don't have to join the military, if any one of them chose to join the military, I will personally proudly support them if they choose to go that route because America is the greatest country in the world that gave me an average.
Guy, to have the life that I have today without that safety and security from our military vets, we wouldn't have what we have today.
So, thank you for all the people that served as well as your family members.
So, with that being said, let's get right into it.
Mayor Arrested For Hurtful Words00:10:21
First story I want to get into we got a lot of them to pick and choose from.
Which one do we want to go with?
Let me see this one here.
Rob, why don't we go into the story when Mamdani and George Walker, what happened with him and the sheriff?
Let's pull up that clip.
Let's start off with that first.
So, New York City, they call it, it used to be the greatest city in the world.
Okay.
And then all of a sudden, this guy gets elected socialist, communist, Islamist, whatever you want to call him, it is what it is.
But here's the captain, okay?
New York City captain.
He's out there, he's being asked a couple questions about his mayor.
And look what he says.
And I will tell you what happens to this guy next because Mamdani wasn't too happy about this.
Go ahead, Rob.
He's expanding.
Expanding everybody.
Mayor Zorhan Mamdani is your boss.
You want a minute?
He's your boss.
Like that, but he's your boss.
I see your boss, though.
I see your boss.
He's your boss.
He's an embarrassment.
Embarrassment.
Whoa, you say your mayor is an embarrassment?
Not my mayor.
It's not my mayor.
Call on camera.
All Democrats say no, based on human race.
Okay, so he makes those comments.
Now, you know, the mayor sees it.
Okay.
Is there the exchange with him and the sheriff, Rob?
Him and the captain?
No.
I do have a news article or a news report from CBS News that talks about the fallout.
Go for it.
Go ahead.
Captain James Wilson was front and center at a Bushwood protest on Saturday, where crowds gathered outside Wyckoff Medical Center in an attempt to stop ICE agents from arresting an immigrant who was a patient there.
But it's not his policing that is being called into question.
It's the comments he made about the mayor that were posted on social media.
Wilson didn't limit his comments to the mayor.
He also went after Democrats, saying, And it is those comments that apparently led to a decision to remove him as second in command at the 9 4 precinct in Greenpoint.
He was sent instead to work in a 9 1 1 call center in the Bronx.
When I asked the mayor about the transfer, he took pains to say it wasn't his decision.
I saw the video.
I did not, however, have any involvement.
In that decision, nor did my city hall.
That was my understanding, is a decision that was really in accordance with NYPD's administrative guidelines.
The NYPD issuing a statement saying of the captain, His disciplinary process is ongoing.
Department policy prohibits an officer while on duty from publicly expressing personal views regarding a political party.
Okay, so, Vinnie, thoughts.
Okay, well, by the way, he is an embarrassment.
Show me where the guy is lying.
Okay, the Democrat thing, you know, waste of human whatever, whatever, you know how I feel about Democrats, but.
I thought these were the people screaming no kings every single five minutes.
No kings, no king.
Apparently, criticism is only allowed when it's aimed at conservatives, okay?
But Pat, this is the problem with Democrats.
They preach tolerance until somebody disagrees with them and then the punishment starts.
And by the way, he's being demoted.
There goes his pain.
He's going to be out of the Bronx now.
He's going to have to, you know, the commute or whatever he has to do.
But let's stop pretending.
I don't believe Momdani at all, period.
Let's stop pretending like he gives a damn about law enforcement.
He's built his entire life.
If you go back and watch all of his clips, Trashing cops, defunding the police, pushing anti police rhetoric.
Crime is up, and I'm going to give you some stats.
Remember, guys, a couple months ago, a knife wielding psycho is about to stab somebody in an apartment.
A cop comes in, he's rushing the cop, shoots the guy.
The cop gets stabbed.
Guess who Mamdani goes and visits in the hospital?
The knife guy, not the cop.
Okay?
And like, I'm done with all this nonsense, Pat.
Let's just, all the focus, oh, I don't know.
Of course it went to him.
Of course he saw it.
It's all about optics.
And let's just throw this out there.
New York, Police, NYPD crime transmit data over the last year in transit.
Ready for this?
Robbery's up 18%, murders are up 300%, and misdemeanor assault is up 15%.
Okay, this is politicians, when your time is spent just attacking cops and not backing them, that's what happens.
And I don't believe them at all.
With the subway, it's really, really high.
That's what the top 300% here is.
But here's what you get, Tom, I'm going to come to you.
In return for that, as much as you're upset, Vinny, imagine having the luxury and the privilege of driving through George Washington Bridge and knowing.
You're learning how to weave and bop through these obstacles.
These obstacles.
Because it's like playing Mario Kart on the freeway in New York City.
It's a great video game.
Rob, can you please play this highlight of not Super Mario Kart?
This is actually George Washington Bridge, folks.
Go ahead.
Look at this.
You're driving.
Boom.
But you got to be fast.
But you got to be fast, Vinny.
He doesn't play much.
Watch it one more time, folks.
Oh, my God.
I mean, this is like.
Beam.
You know?
Like, imagine if that happens to you.
You're with your wife and kids and you're going to a nice dinner together.
It's exciting, right?
It's exciting having a mayor that takes care of the streets and you get that in return because we should give more free programs.
You're right.
Not fix the roads.
No.
Not get the construction permits to come out fast.
Take your time with the construction permits.
Tom, your thoughts on Mamdani's situation, what he did to the captain?
Well, I have about three thoughts.
The first thought is look, no cop in any city should talk like that.
You know, you shouldn't.
And by the way, It doesn't matter whether you're conservative or liberal, if you say, hey, the other side is a waste of a human race, you can expect to get demoted and fired.
It's going to happen if you're conservative.
It's going to happen if you're liberal.
Now, that's just trying to level set.
Nobody's going to yell at me.
And I said, no, that's true.
It doesn't, either side you're on.
However, I hate that the situation in New York is exactly what you're talking about that led the cop to feel that way.
Exactly.
He's sitting there trying to defend a city and try to serve people and everything.
And he sits there and saying, under what leadership am I doing this?
Does the leadership even have my back?
Does the leadership even care about the people?
And what's going on?
But when you say you're the waste of a human race, that's too far.
I get it.
That's too far.
But all the cop wants to do is serve.
All he wants to do is do it.
And the other part of it is, man, you are always recorded and you got to be so careful because you could be baited, baited, baited, baited.
What do you think?
What do you think?
Those guys with the camera were being very, very, very persistent, very, very focused.
And I just don't like what's going on.
And by the way, the infrastructure, this has been going on for a while.
This has been this danger that's in the infrastructure has been going on for a while.
When you strip out the funding for this stuff and you allow fraud, waste, and abuse, like we've seen in North Carolina now, is worried, like we're seeing in Texas with hospices.
It's everywhere.
Get yourself a government funded entity, steal the money, filter some of it back to your favorite campaign, allegedly.
There you go.
And the bridge doesn't get fixed because you have all the fraud.
So I feel for this cop, but you can't say that.
And Tom, I want to reiterate murder is up in the transit report.
300%.
Pat, there's a video.
We can't even show it, Rob.
Some African American dude pushed a 75 year old teacher down the freaking subway thing.
It was like two days ago, and he's smiling in court.
He was like, I'm out.
That's an hour after he was released for a prior offense.
From being a nut job.
Yeah, an hour after.
So it's not like it was a thing where he just did it and he went in.
Yes.
You see this man is just walking down and he just pushes him, and the guy dies.
Died.
76 years old.
Oh, you haven't seen this?
Oh, it's horrible.
I don't want to show the clip, but I'm going to show you the clip, Adam, and I want you to see it.
Okay, I want you to see it.
Okay.
His name is Ramel Burke, shoved an elderly teacher, Ross Falzon, down the stairs.
Dead.
Dead.
Who did that to him?
Okay, let me read that.
I have his family if you want to hear from his family as well.
Let me read this and then if you can pull up.
This is in New York City, by the way.
Repeat offender who had already been arrested several times this year, including for two assaults, killed an elderly man in an unprovoked attack in New York City.
Hours before the attack, the NYPD had taken Ramel Burke to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation after he was reportedly acting irrationally.
On a Penn Station platform, mysteriously, he was released just one hour later.
Just a few hours later, Burke, the same guy that was arrested and released, shoved 76 year old Ross Falzoni, a retired teacher, to his death down the subway in Manhattan.
Burke was arrested three times in February for assaulting a police officer, burglary, and resisting arrest.
In April, he was arrested again for assaulting a stranger.
He was later granted supervised release at the arraignment.
Rob, do you have a video from the family?
I do, right here.
He wouldn't hurt anybody.
He's a bag of bones.
He's not even 100 pounds.
Donna Falzone just celebrated her birthday in Manhattan with her brother, Ross Falzone, and was planning another trip to visit him from Pennsylvania when she got some horrifying news.
I mean, to get a call like that at 4 o'clock in the morning, you know, just, you know, to find out your brother's minding his own business, three witnesses, and pushed down the steps and left for dead.
There's not amount of anger that we can express and shock.
Police have arrested a man they say is responsible for shoving the 76 year old man from the street down these stairs that lead to the 18th Street subway station in Chelsea.
Police say the unprovoked attack happened around 9 30 Thursday night.
Falzone was rushed to Bellevue Hospital with a traumatic brain injury, fractured spine, and rib.
Medics couldn't save him.
Just a caring and giving man gave everything to his family.
Eyewitness news has learned the suspect was in custody hours before the attack.
At 3 28 p.m., officers saw him acting erratically outside the 17th precinct.
At 3 39, they took him to Bellevue Hospital.
NYC Subway Attack Investigation00:02:34
This is New York City for you, by the way.
Okay.
And what happens?
Criminals are dropped.
Oh, it's okay.
He's, listen, leave him alone.
What did the captain say?
What did he say?
But this guy, come on.
This is just a nice, he just had a rough day.
A few hours later, he kills a 76 year old.
But my God, the captain.
Now, of course, I agree with Tom.
There are certain things like if you go to dinner with us, with the family, and I will tell the kids, I swear to God, if you ever use that word that your friend used, We're going to have a problem together because you have to choose the words you use.
So I'm with it.
Tom and I are on the same page here.
There are certain responsibilities you have as a leader, but this is words hurt somebody's feelings.
This is a criminal killed someone.
Citizen.
Let's side with this guy, not this guy.
This guy, bad.
This guy, let's feel sorry for him.
Tell me the common sense.
By the way, before I come to you, Adam, let me read the story.
New York City's declining public schools enrollment projected to lose over 150,000 more.
As population declines, okay, here's what we're looking at.
As population declines, let me see this here.
All right, let's go here.
Let me read this to you.
You ready?
New York City public schools are projected to drop, mirroring the downward trend of its overall population since last year.
According to a statistical forecasting prepared for the New York City School Construction Authority, New York City is projected to lose thousands of students in the 2034 2035 school year.
Enrollment is projected to be 721 in 2034 2035.
Which would be a decline of 153,000 students from the 2024 2025 enrollment.
The outlet reported over the next 10 years, the enrollments are projected to decline in each of the five boroughs Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and projected to have the largest declines in the next 10 years, losing 45, 43, 35,000, respectively.
The projected shortfall was attributed to continuing falling birth rates and exodus of residents.
An aging population statistical forecasting was retained by the New York City School Construction Authority, SCA, to perform enrollment projections.
For the New York City Public Schools 10 year program that they have in place.
By the way, New York Times reported on Friday that the number of kindergarten through 12th grade public school students in the U.S. has declined in 30 states since the mid 20s.
New York City's public school lost 22,000 students this year from last year's 906.
According to preliminary Department of Education data, a total of 884 students were enrolled.
Projected Enrollment Declines00:03:31
So you're seeing that happening here.
People are not feeling safe.
And keep in mind, this guy financially is vested for New York City to win.
Selfishly, I want New York City to win.
In every possible way, I want New York City to win.
Why?
Yankees.
Okay.
I mean, you got Marcelo killing it on SNL, right?
Adams, you're bragging about Marcelo.
Look what he did.
Look at this.
Look at that.
Look at this.
And they're now, he's becoming a main guy.
You want to see New York City shine.
You want to see New York City be a place that families want to come visit.
You want to see, guess where they're holding the World Cup championship game?
Not in Kansas.
Not in Washington, not in Texas.
You know where they're holding a finals game?
What city do you think they're holding a finals?
New York City at the Jet Stadium.
And by the way, we knew that before anybody else knew about it.
If you remember when we were at the.
Of course.
Oh, yeah.
President Clinton at that bowling thing, and then we went to the show.
Oh, yeah.
We knew that, but funny story there.
But going back to New York City, Adam, your thoughts.
Yeah.
Well, I think it's bigger than New York City.
Here's what I think is really going on.
We're used to all these big blue cities that have been historically the greatest cities in America New York City, LA, San Francisco, Chicago.
Chicago was known as the second city.
And they're just not that city anymore.
And what's the common theme?
They're all run by Democrats.
Democrats have a stranglehold in all these big blue cities.
And you know what happens?
The Democratic Party, I don't recognize the party.
They're no longer the party of FDR, JFK, Bill Clinton.
And for the last couple of decades, they've been flirting, flirting with all these isms socialism, communism, transgenderism, Islamism.
And the new woke left has combined them all, put them in a basket, and says, this is who we are now.
Looking back at it, you could say it started with Obama, but Obama carried himself so like a diplomat.
He almost made it appear that he wasn't as radical as he is.
Now we're hearing meetings of him meeting with Soros and all these types of people.
But the Democratic establishment is no longer what it was.
And it's sad to see.
And now you have the Mamdanis of the world and the Gavin Newsom's of the world and the Karen Basses of the world, the AOCs of the world and the Ilhan Omar's of the world.
And that is the new face of the Democratic Party.
And the one guy within the Democratic Party who's basically saying, guys, what are we doing?
Is John Fetterman.
And you can easily make the joke of, like, of course, the one guy with brain damage has the most sense.
But that's really what's going on here.
And they're so obsessed with race.
They're so antithetical to what MLK stood for.
And at the end of the day, if you want to go, like, go, go, go there, they want to completely fundamentally transform what America is and Western civilization.
And last part, if you look what happened in the UK this week, the Reform Party by Nigel Farage walloped everything that was going on there.
All the wokeness, all the Keir Starmer, everything that was going on, all the migration, and the UK said, We've had enough.
My question is, did it happen too late for them?
Because I sure as hell don't think it's too late for America to come to incentives and eliminate this nonsense.
But New York, just in general, in general, they have their priorities crooked, completely crooked.
And when you say defund the police, when you go visit the attacker, a knife wielding attacker, Adam, think about it.
You're a cop, you're laying in the hospital, same hospital, and the mayor is visiting the guy that stabbed you, literally, literally.
UK Election And Tax Dollars00:03:32
How are you supposed to feel?
And I agree with you guys 100%.
You can't lump them.
It's like Hillary's basket of deplorables.
You can't say that.
Democrats already say they've been captured by something that's unrecognizable.
They don't have no leaders, they have no nothing, and they don't have God.
Not one of them I've ever heard praise God or talk about Jesus Christ.
I'm not judging them.
I'm just saying, is there one of you out there?
Zero, zero.
And when you keep saying, I hate cops, defund cops, get rid of the cops, and then you have a cop going, Yeah, I don't like the guy because he doesn't care about me.
He's taking money away from me.
That's the attitude that you're going to get.
And by the way, Kier Starmer, Rob, Humberto sent this great chart.
If you want to pull it up from Kalshi, man, Kalshi's just doing such a great job.
Like, it's becoming the place to go.
They're awesome.
As a predictive place, $7 million.
Do you have the one with Kier Starmer, Rob?
There's one with Kier Starmer showing the likelihood of him being out.
Okay.
And what is it right now, Rob?
Before September 1st is now 59%.
Is it 59%?
59%.
Correct.
Before July 1st, 37%.
And before June 1st, it's 16%.
So.
You know, obviously, with Adam talking about what happened with UK, whether it's late or not, we don't know.
We do know progress is being made.
Tom, go for it.
Yeah, you know, we were talking about New York City schools.
Worlds talk, numbers scream.
How about some numbers?
Go.
Here we go.
But you don't have to add anything up, Vinny.
Okay.
But I'm just going to ask you what you think about this.
Go.
Thank you.
Because there's less students at the school, would there be more or less tax dollars flowing to them?
Less tax dollars.
Wrong.
New York has decided.
There's less students.
So guess that doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
In most school districts, the.
Sets you up every.
But even now.
My head hurts.
Give them words.
Hang on.
H In most school districts, what is the amount of tax dollars that are available from the population usually matches the number of kids.
Kids are part of the population.
So the amount of tax dollars per child to fund the school is usually how it goes.
In New York, they have gone from $31,100 per student five years ago to $42,000 a student now spending, which is higher than the national average.
So guess what, Pat?
You ready for this?
They have not reduced the amount of spending on New York City schools, even though the number of kids are going down.
Wait a minute.
More spending per child.
That must mean the grades are up.
The teachers have more time to spend with fewer students.
There's fewer students.
They get more teacher attention.
Let's go look.
Here we go.
Uh oh.
Uh oh.
Oh, no.
High school graduation rate is at a 20 year low and had a two point drop from the previous year.
It's gone down further.
Now it's barely 81% of kids will graduate in New York City.
Think about that, Pat.
One in five kids in New York City will drop out.
Boom, take it on the lamb.
Now then, but they said, wait, there's better scores for grades three per eight.
Time out a minute.
How is it possible there's better test scores for grades three through eight, but when they go from grade eight to 12, there's more of them dropping out?
And it's 81%, 20% or low.
Why is all that?
Oh, the state of New York from Empire Center data reduced the standards for the test to make the test look better.
Ladies and gentlemen, New York City education.
Wow.
Is that not embarrassing when you look at that?
Is that not embarrassing when you look at that with the data on?
You know what's the worst is when the data is not on your side, specifically in anything you do.
When the number's not on your side, you're not happy.
Let me get to this next story here, aside from New York City that we got going on.
New York Education Standards Drop00:14:44
Next story I want to get to is another guy on the complete opposite side.
Okay.
On the complete opposite side, there's this guy named Gavin Newsom who's trying to sell you cheap diapers, but try to find it in a way, allegedly, try to do it in a way that it benefits his wife.
And he's kind of like, you know, kind of this little.
I don't know what's the proper word to use here that he's.
Quagmire?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
He's kind of.
And so he's trying to kind of maneuver.
He's trying to.
What's the word?
Dance?
I don't know if it's a dance.
Spin, tiptoe.
Turn himself into a pretzel.
Turn himself into a pretzel.
Tiptoe.
Rob, do you have a clip on this on these diagrams?
Ricky Bobby, shake and bake.
Yeah, shake and bake.
That's the better one.
I like that.
Shake and bake.
So here's the shake and bake master.
Shake and bake.
From California, who is the current governor.
He's hoping to become your president here very soon.
Rob, go ahead and play this clip.
I was so inspired when I was reading about these two remarkable people you see behind me.
Rob, tell me he gets right into it because it's two minutes and 48 seconds.
By the way, he said he was reading.
I thought he was dyslexic.
That's a good point, Tommy.
Very good point, Tommy.
Do you want to play this one?
Why don't you play the Steve Hilton clip first?
Cool.
Go for it.
All right, so Gavin Newsom is taking $20 billion of your money to send 100,000 babies 400 diapers.
That works out at 50 cents per diaper.
We just came into Target to check out what you could buy it for in the store.
Here you go.
Just check this one out here.
162.
$26, that works out at 16 cents per diaper.
Gavin Newsom's diapers are three times more expensive.
Why is that, Steve Hinton?
And three times more expensive than to send diapers to 100,000 babies.
Lincoln's just leaving the money in the bank accounts of the parents in the first place because it's going to some total bullshit nonprofit which cronies of his are going to make money.
And that is what is wrong with California.
Instead of just cutting taxes so you can afford diapers and sending it out in this ridiculous bureaucratic scheme.
Vinny, what else do we know about these diapers?
Who's benefiting from this?
Well, thank you for asking, Pat.
So, like he said, 100,000 babies, 400 diapers.
How about this?
Just cut the taxes.
Send people the money directly.
Like, don't play this nonsense.
IRS filings show Jennifer Siebel Newsom paid herself and her company.
Oh, no, the first lady of California?
Yeah, that's her, Tom.
The pro abortion, cutting people, loving to kill babies.
She paid herself and her company $3.9 million from her so called gender justice charity.
About $1.8 million went to her salary, and another $2.1 million went to her profit film company making documentaries pushing into California public schools.
And by the way, Honestly, Tom, is anyone surprised?
Are any of you at home listening to this surprised?
It's Gavin Newsom.
It's like being shocked that a raccoon stole your garbage.
That's what he's supposed to do.
That's what they're supposed to do.
All right.
And everybody, it's just Pat, he just exudes this fake identity.
Okay.
And it's just driving me crazy because that's the model.
Everything is optics, everything is branding, everything sounds compassionate until you follow the money.
And when you follow the money and they act like they care, it's cheaper at Costco.
They're BSing you, and it always comes out.
He's always angry, and it's always Trump, and it's always Trump.
No wonder why California is failing.
No wonder why.
And by the way, the guy that runs that is also a donor.
So the money goes to him, and then we look at his federal FEC filings, Federal Election Committee, and to see where he filed, he was actually donating to the Newsom campaign, donating lots of money to Dems.
And it's like, what?
So this is the circle of life.
This is the same thing we've been hearing about.
And diapers, I love that Steve Hilton walked into a regular Target to just point out here's the price right here.
Because words talk, numbers scream, and I love that they put that number in front of them.
You know, it's interesting.
I was a dad, a brand new dad once, and buying diapers is difficult.
So I walked down the aisle there.
There's one diaper pack that said up to 12 pounds.
I got home, and then Kim said, No, no, no, that's the weight of the child.
I'm like, Gosh, you only need a couple of those.
We got all summer covered.
Well, Adam, look, we can go on and on of what's going on in New York City.
We can go on and on of what's going on in California.
Right now, it's working to an extent.
Why?
Because they have the greatest distraction.
That any super liberal person could possibly ask for, or super liberal government could ask for.
And what's that distraction?
It's Trump.
While Trump is there, they always can double down on, but Trump, he's a fascist, he's a king, he's this.
They're always gonna have that excuse.
My question is what's gonna happen to these states when they no longer have the Trump scapegoat?
When Trump is no longer here, and we all, I think, agree for the most part, Trump is doing a great job in his second term, certainly better than his first.
What's going to happen to these big blue liberal cities when they no longer have Trump to blame?
So it kind of, in a weird way, not to go off topic, reminds me of what a lot of the Middle Eastern autocrats and dictators in Iran do regarding Israel.
Don't worry about what we're doing to our own people.
Don't worry about our terrorism.
Don't worry about everything that we're doing wrong, subjugating our own people, but Israel.
It's a great excuse.
Unfortunately, it's kind of like with the Abraham Accords.
Being subdued a little bit in the Middle East.
Now you have a lot of people basically being like, well, it's kind of really Iran that's the problem.
At the end of the day, when Trump leaves office, these big blue cities are going to take a long, hard look in the mirror, especially at people, and be like, it's not even Trump anymore.
It's our leadership.
And the question is, are they going to hold them accountable and vote in people who are going to go against the grain?
That's why everybody's rooting for people like Steve Hilton, for people like Spencer Pratt, because they're not the typical leftist stooges that are just going to go along with what they've always done.
But think about it.
If they win, they're good.
But whoever wins on the Republican side, they're going to tie them to Trump.
If it's Rubio or Vance or one of the top, you know what they're going to say?
Oh, he's such a Trump.
Trump telling them.
By the way, that'll work to a certain extent.
Now, watch this.
When he's asked about the leading candidate for governor in California, Uh, this is his reaction, Rob.
Can you play this?
Go for it.
Oh boy, that's what we're seeing.
Daniel left right at the right time.
Unbelievable.
That's good.
I used to do that too as mayor.
He's, he's, oh, I'm that's so above.
I'm, I really have, I mean, cannot tell you how I just haven't focused on that.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna see Speaker Pelosi though shortly.
Maybe she'll, she'll fill me in on an update on the race.
We'll be at uh.
It's kind of weird, right?
It's kind of weird.
It's like he's mumbling at a cocktail party.
Yeah.
It's kind of weird.
It's a basic question.
Do you endorse the guy or not?
So maybe they're holding it off to do that at a big event and all this other stuff to have a spectacle and different kind of a showing.
But while this is going on in California, there's a guy again, Spencer Pratt, rock star, right?
Rock star, doing great things.
And his focus is like, look, this isn't about Republican and Democratic policies.
It's just common sense.
I want to clean up the streets of L.A. That's what he wants to do, right?
And so he's out there.
Being asked questions about the comparison of him and Mamdani.
So the guy on the bottom actually asked a good question.
A lot of people compare you and Mamdani because both of you guys are not politically, not ideology, but you guys are very good on camera, social media.
And Pratt's answer was phenomenal.
Go ahead, Rob.
Zoram Mamdani, in the sense, your politics are obviously very, very, very different, but in the sense that you've really harnessed the power of social media to get your message out.
What do you think of that comparison?
You know, the one thing I connect with is I know he promised his voters, like the subway will be free.
And I'm promising my voters the metro buses, the metro trains, they will be free from urine, feces, stabbing, attacks.
So that's kind of similar.
We both have free things for public transportation.
But, you know, I think he connected with people because they felt like change, they wanted change.
That message would never connect here because we've already been doing the socialist experiment pretty much for six plus years and it's failed here in Los Angeles.
So I think my message is why it's resonating on social media.
Is this the truth?
It's authentic.
It's from my heart.
I didn't want to be a politician.
I'm standing in what happened because of failed politicians.
That's why I'm here.
I don't want to be, I want to go in and change LA so that.
Where he's asked also, and then Adam, I'm going to come to you.
The clip where he's asked about, you know, 20 years ago, is this it?
Guys, you have this.
He has a lot of moments.
Okay.
And by the way, if you go watch some of his old clips, he was used to being in fights all the time on camera.
So he's accustomed to the market.
Talking smack about him.
I can't believe he's a jerk.
He's a this, he's a that.
He's used to being a poker, right?
He's used to being a poker and used to challenging others.
But watch this situation where the lady's trying to ask a question saying, Just 20 years ago, Spencer Pratt, you were a, and watch his answer.
Go ahead, Rob.
What do you think?
You know, you're known as a reality TV star.
Do you think that that is, in your campaign for Los Angeles mayor to run the biggest city in California, a label that you Is that hurtful to your campaign or does it help you think?
I mean, the reality, pun intended, is that was from 20 years ago.
And if we look at what Karen Bass was doing 20 years ago, she was in Cuba learning how to make bombs with the people that were going to go bomb Capitol Hill.
So if we're looking at backgrounds, I'm pretty proud of what I was doing at 20 on Ride Television, even though it was.
By the way, go back five seconds.
Just look at her smile.
Tell me if you recognize that smile and what that smile.
Can you zoom in on her smile, please?
Rob, are we able to do that or no?
Yeah, hold on.
Oh, man, if you can zoom in on that smile.
Rob is a magician.
He's going to find a way.
Can you zoom in on the video?
Yeah, the video.
You can do it.
Okay, just watch it.
Watch this.
Go ahead, Rob.
Go ahead.
I'm pretty proud of what I was doing at 20 on rally television, even though I may not have been the most likable character.
It was still TV versus trying to destroy America and going to Cuba 20 times.
She wanted to.
Praising Fidel Castro.
She didn't like that answer.
Against my opponent.
Oh, my background is crazy.
At least that beautiful blouse got a lot of recognition because it's actually nice.
It's a nice blue and white that you have there.
But, you know, it's a great point, right?
What he's sitting there saying 20 years ago, I'm on reality TV.
The other one was making bombs, learning how to make bombs in Cuba.
Big difference, Adam.
Thoughts?
Well, look, do you have that attack ad that the Democrat establishment put out on Spencer Pratt?
I think this sort of sums up exactly what's going on.
He said he will never go back and do anything with CBS.
I don't know if you saw his beef with CBS.
He's talking about a labor ad.
I know, I know, I know both of them.
But this week, they've been trying to attack him in a big way.
Ultimately, and I'll just set it up for this.
Do you have that right?
Everything that he's saying is complete common sense.
Where, you know, he basically said, you know, he wants to give everything free, Mamdani, free groceries, free buses.
I want free as well, free of stabbings, freedom.
You're in free homelessness.
Look at this attack ad where they try to paint him as some MAGA extremist when every single thing is just absolute common sense.
Go ahead and check this out.
Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs for mayor.
Pratt opposes using taxpayer money to build brand new houses for our unhoused neighbors, saying it's time for the homeless to get help.
Or get out.
Pratt thinks LA needs thousands more police officers rather than more social workers.
And Republican Spencer Pratt thinks public employee unions should have less power, not more.
LA is on the right track and needs to stay the course.
Vote no on Republican Spencer Pratt.
Does anybody think that LA is on the right track?
Let's just be real here.
Let's just be unbiased.
It's unbelievable.
You see what's going on.
You know, you talk WorldSoc numbers scream.
Rob, do you have the voting with their feet picture that I sent you?
Because we've seen this before.
Nobody is.
Moving to California, very hardly.
Here's the numbers.
You've talked about words, talk, number, scream, voting with your feet in your pocketbook.
Look at these numbers right here.
All the money, it says B, but that's really trillion, $2 trillion in wealth has gone to Florida, Texas, Arizona, and the Carolinas, where he has almost $2 trillion of wealth that has left, if you scroll down to the bottom right, left the big three woke states, which is California, New York, and Illinois.
All Spencer Pratt is doing is be completely normal.
And then the establishment wants to attack him and say, this guy defends the police.
What's wrong with him?
This guy thinks unions are too strong, insane.
This guy wants to treat our unhoused neighbors as if they're creating problems.
He wants to clean up the city and they're villainizing him for it.
We're rooting for Spencer.
And, Pat, this reminds me of in the movie Dune, where the son is like questioning if he wants to be, you know, he steps up into the role and the father, Duke, tells his son, Timothy Chomlet, his name is Paul Shamalot, Shamalalalot, whatever.
He says, A great man doesn't seek to lead, he's called to it.
And he answers.
And I think that's what's happening with Spencer Pratt.
Right now, he's watching his city that he loves get destroyed with fake leadership, corruption, crime, homelessness, and incompetence to the point where regular people, not these fake Gavin Newsom, cut out, carbon copy, fake, disingenuous, and just disgusting human beings, he says somebody has to step up and we have to do it.
And he has to do it.
And that's what it is.
You don't try to be this leader, Pat.
Sometimes you're called to it and you got to step up.
And I think he's doing it.
What's he saying here, Rob?
So Spencer Pratt filmed like an hour and a half after.
Interview with CBS.
Oh, this is CBS, yeah.
Yeah, where they took the footage, and according to Spencer Pratt, CBS gave that footage to the campaign of Karen Bass that Karen Bass's campaign then used to chop up and create a negative attack ad attacking Spencer Pratt.
Go for it.
Go ahead, Rob.
After CBS embarrassed Karen Bass by fact checking her debate lies about the Palisades fire, they clearly got the call.
CBS filmed with me on my burnt out lot for over an hour talking about crime, housing, affordability, things that voters care about.
And they turned it over to Karen Bass's PR team to edit it into a comical five minute hit piece with clips from the hills.
They can't beat my ideas.
They can't beat me in the debates.
So they got to try to turn my campaign into a sideshow.
People are done with these teasing political tricks.
And I'm done with CBS.
But it must be the local.
It's got to be a local government.
It's not a local government.
Voters deserve to hear from their next mayor.
Karen Bass Campaign Critique00:16:21
There you go.
Yeah.
CBS.
This is a different CBS for them.
CBS affiliate.
Yeah.
So there you go.
Listen, for those of you guys that are in LA and you want to see a change, Whatever you do, this is the part where it's not just talking.
Go help.
Go knock on doors.
You want things to change?
It's going to require everybody's effort.
Go talk to people.
Go support them.
If you want to see somebody like this come in instead of a Karen Bass, this is the part that people in LA, if you want change, you got to do your part.
There's only so much he can do, there's only so much everybody else can do.
Individually, people got to go out there knocking on doors, talking to people, and getting them to say, why don't we just give this guy a chance one time?
Why don't we just give this guy a chance one time and see what happens?
Adam.
Just add one little addition.
What they did was they put out a four minute highlight reel, sort of endorsing Karen Bass, essentially what it was.
He called them out on their BS, and then 24 hours later, they released the entire 28 minute interview.
Some say it's a little too late, too little too late, but these are the little tricks of what's going on there to try to basically keep the Democratic.
And this is how long left?
Three weeks left?
June 2nd it is, right?
Unless it goes on a runoff to what?
November or something like that time?
Yep.
Top two will go on a runoff in the November election, the same time they're electing a governor, unless someone on June 2nd gets 50.001.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know if you can pull up the calculator.
That's why they're saying she's got to drop out.
Democrats are begging the socialists to drop out, and she hasn't yet.
And there's allegations, and if you read on Reddit, you can find these.
These were not in mainstream media, but what's being floated and discussed on Reddit is that they are offering, allegedly, there are forces offering Nithyaram and say, hey, look, we'll pay you, we'll give you this money, and then you can go take care of your donors.
Go next time, but get out of the way.
She'll probably do it.
I don't know if you.
So if that happens, but if that happens, remember that, you know what that means?
It means the rumors and stuff that are on Reddit and other places, some of those rumors are true, if that's what happened.
I agree.
And that would kill me.
Do you think those rumors are true?
Look what they did, the Bernie Sanders and.
Do you think those rumors are true?
Do I think those conversations are being had?
For sure.
Damn straight there.
Of course they are, yeah.
Go ahead.
They didn't have them in New York.
We know what happened with that.
They had them in South Carolina with Hillary Clinton.
And Bernie wouldn't move.
So they screwed him.
If you could just go to the Cal Sheath thing, I know it's not exactly, it's more odds than that, but she's at 48%.
Down from 51 over the past weekend.
So just break down what this is real quick.
But that's 17, Tom.
That 17 goes to her, not to him.
More than likely, yes.
80% of that 17 goes to her, not to him.
This is the opposite.
No, no, she's even more, probably 95% because she's crazy.
I agree.
She's crazy.
Can I ask a question?
What is the Karen Bass pitch?
What are they running on?
What is she saying for people to go, you know what?
I'm on board.
Your resume is abysmal.
What the hell?
Is it just that brainwashed of following them?
That's insane.
She's perceived as a white Republican.
Oh, give me a break, even though it's not.
Yeah, well, guess what?
If that's your mentality, you've got to break your.
That is the modern left.
It's insane.
That's what's going on here.
Vinny, Karen Bass is like, like, Nithi Ramen is like regular Coke and Karen, socialism.
And Karen Bass is, you know, diet Coke.
Not Basque tongue.
Basque.
Technically, according to Spencer Pratt, it's basura.
Yeah.
Which means garbage.
I just don't get it.
So, look, I mean, if they keep continuing on double downing on these ridiculous policies, Of transgender, of this, all the identity politics stuff, that's going to benefit the right come the general election for presidency because those ideas may work in small pockets.
They're not going to work at the highest level.
You have to find a way to go more independent because independents are not with you.
When Governor Wes Moore was here and we were speaking, out of everything that we talked about, you know what's the one clip that went viral?
It's me asking him what he would do if his son came home.
And said, I want to transition.
And everybody started texting me and calling me, hey, can you come and comment on this?
Do you want to say anything about this?
I'm like, okay, listen, that's his position where he's at.
But what's the point?
He says, I'm not going to condemn him.
He has to address this issue because this issue is not going to get him the independent voters.
Neither will it for Newsom, neither will it for Prisker, neither will it for a lot of these other guys.
So if they continue, by the way, you know who Bob Costas is?
Yeah, of course.
Remember we saw Bob Costas at the Muhammad Ali Museum?
That's right.
Okay, would you put him as a liberal or conservative?
I would definitely put him as a liberal.
How hardcore of a liberal is he?
He's so hardcore that there are stories of him getting into it with coworkers.
There's a story with him that there was another Wall Street guy that lived in the same building.
They ended up in a screaming match in a lobby.
You dig deep enough, this guy is a hardcore liberal that has a big temper for a guy who, I suppose, on camera looks very smooth.
As hardcore as he is, he's also common sense.
As hardcore as he is, which I agree with you.
As hardcore as he is, this is the part that liberals simply don't want to touch.
And watch what he says here, Rob.
If you want to play this clip, this is on this girl's Trish Reagan's Instagram.
Yeah, it's.
Who is she with, by the way?
I think she's independent now.
She's independent now.
Okay, she's very appealing to the eye.
So play this clip.
Go ahead, Rob.
I think CNN expected this.
Common sense is not transphobic.
There's a reason why the high school champions don't compete with the college champions.
There is a reason why.
No trans man who was once a woman and has become a man has ever competed successfully with men in the Olympics.
If Caitlin Clark could play in the NBA, everybody would applaud it.
That would be an incredible thing.
But if the last guy on the bench of an NBA team went to the WNBA and started averaging 40 points a game, everyone would know that is BS.
There's a reason why Sugar Ray Leonard, who was a contemporary of Mike Tyson, didn't fight Mike Tyson.
They were in different weight classes.
There is a reason why there are men's and women's sports.
That's an F 18 at 10 o'clock.
We were warned it was going to take off.
You can pause it right there.
Did you hear what he said?
Yeah.
He's a leftist.
Hardcore.
Who is saying, what the hell are you guys thinking about with this transgender stuff?
This just makes no sense.
And by the way, he continues.
He doesn't even slow down.
Yeah.
Right.
But if these politicians choose to keep playing this role, guess what?
Republicans, independents are going to side with Republicans over Democrats on three issues that they don't want to mess with.
And I'm so happy you brought up the transgender thing, especially with Westmore.
Did you know this past week, remember the transgender guy in California, A.B. Hernandez, competed in the girls' division and finished first place in multiple jumps, long jump.
He jumped 20 feet.
While the closest female athlete was more than a foot behind him, he also won the triple jump, okay?
But that's before Rob had it.
A Save the Girl sports protesters were outside.
Even Martina Navratilova, Pat, she's on the other side as well.
She was blasting Gavin, okay?
And along with Nancy Hawk said.
And Pat, just to show you she's a lesbian, by the way.
Martina Navratilova is a lesbian who is standing up against the trans people.
Oh, her and I went at it once on Twitter.
Not in life.
She went at it once on Twitter.
She's not your type.
Just really, really quick.
Guys, do you realize how many negative stories we have that we're probably not even gonna get into on California alone?
Talking about the politicians openly talking about permanent wealth tax confiscations, taxpayer funded diaper programs, biological males dominating in girls' sports, San Francisco stores allegedly are selling meth during a massive drug crisis, businesses, well, everybody's leaving.
Everything about California is negative, Pat.
Every single thing, and they have a chance right now with Spencer Pratt.
With Steve Hilton.
Guys, please don't fall into the stupid mindset of, well, I'm loyal to my party.
What the hell does that even mean?
Wake up.
Wake up.
As much as you're preaching to the choir here, I think what Pat said is probably the most important thing.
This stuff does work locally or even in your state.
But when you get to the next level in a general election, this is where it all crumbles.
Like if you remember what the most impactful ad was during the election, I think Charlie Kirk helped actually do this.
Rest in peace, Charlie.
It was when Trump said in that ad, he goes, Kamala's for they, them, Trump is for us.
By the way, if you use a they, them ad in California, they're applauding a national electorate.
They're basically booing.
Just understand your audience, right?
So it works there.
It doesn't work in the big scheme of things.
And you know what this leads to?
This leads to until I go to the Costco story, but this leads to this.
Who's the one person on the left I've been saying has a shot at 2028 running?
AOC.
AOC.
Okay, so watch this.
She does an interview, okay?
And there's a couple things that come up.
One, Rob, if you can go to the one that she doesn't deny speculation of 2028 presidential run.
She's no longer fighting it and even playing politics to say, well, no, not really.
It's not for me.
I just want to focus on New York City and the boroughs.
This is what my focus is.
This is what she had to say when she was asked about running for president.
Go ahead, Rob.
When you aren't attached, right?
When you haven't been like fantasizing about being this or that since the time you were seven years old.
It is tremendously liberating because I get to wake up every day and say, How am I going to meet the moment?
And conditions change radically all the time.
So I make my response less to an attachment to some positional, like, you know, title or position and working backwards from there.
But I make decisions by waking up in the morning, looking out the window, and observing the conditions of this country.
And saying, what move or what decision can I make today that is going to get closer to that future, stronger, faster, better than yesterday?
She dances around the question pretty much the entire time.
I think I just got back.
They assume, this is what she said, they assume that my ambition is a title or a seat, and my ambition is way bigger than that.
My ambition is to change this country.
Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, but single payer health care is forever.
She continues.
And she told Axelrod that she tailors her political ambitions to meet the moment.
Conditions change radically all the time.
So I make my response less to an attachment, personal title case.
And then what a move, make the decision that I'm going to get closer to that future, stronger, faster, better than yesterday.
She continues.
So she's hinting on what she's going to happen.
While she's doing this, there was a question.
She was doing a podcast about being a billionaire.
Do you remember that whole exchange with that one girl?
Yeah.
Where they're both sitting there.
Not this one, Rob.
It's a different one, I think.
Horrible.
Yeah.
Do you know which one I'm talking about?
Oh, it's great.
And how the founding fathers were somehow billionaires that were being fought against.
Rob, is this the one on this story?
AOC claims the American Revolution was fought against billionaires, as critics school her on that actual history.
Do you want to play that clip real quick?
Go ahead, Rob.
I want to talk about how this is in the heritage of our country.
Because America was founded.
You look at Thomas Jefferson writing to Madison.
In revolt of British aristocracy.
The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time.
And we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and power and the state that.
I did not know the history of the basic thing that this was.
Like, this is the Robin Hood story.
Robin Hood was against the billionaires.
No, Robin Hood was against high taxes and the government taking money away from them.
You had.
But the reality, you can pause it right there, Rob.
The reality of it is, this is a very formidable candidate.
It is.
And then she's doing this podcast, Rob.
I know you have it.
She's doing this podcast with this other girl where they're like billionaires this and billionaires that.
Oh, yeah.
And they're the one who keeps saying, that's right.
Yeah.
And so who knows what this is going to lead to?
But the reality of it is, she is a formidable candidate for 2027, 2028.
There was a podcast, Rob.
It was, I'll pause here while we're going through it.
That's the one right there, Rob.
Go for it.
Watch this, folks.
There's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned, right?
You can't earn a billion dollars.
That's right.
You just can't earn that.
That's exactly correct.
You can get market power.
You can break rules.
You can do all sorts of things.
You can abuse labor laws.
You can pay people less than what they're worth.
But you can't earn that, right?
And so.
That's all right.
You have to create a myth that since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.
There's a certain level of what.
Tom, I'm going to come to you first with AOC.
Go ahead.
Look, this is an incredibly formidable candidate.
I could sit here and pick on her and play, you know, ding dong bingo, right?
A6, B6, you know, C22, D19.
Bingo, we have a winner and pick on it that way, but I'm not going to.
What I'm going to point out.
Love it.
What I'm going to point out.
This is the most skillful communicator because there are people in there.
You look at that clip there.
There are people out there that we're listening to that's right, that feel the same way because they're destitute or because they're struggling or because something's wrong in their life.
And they believe that that voice is representing a solution and a way out and somehow cares for them.
They don't understand that there's no spreadsheet behind what she's saying, meaning that there's no budget or there's no long term corrective fix in what she's saying.
But people are listening to this very formidable communicator, this very telegenic person, this person that presents herself female.
Ethnic and all the things that go with it, which are things that we should be celebrating in America about the diversity of everywhere we are.
And it's diversity of people, but then merit on achievement.
And instead, she sits there and she does like this.
And what worries me, Pat, is that is a really formidable candidate.
I'm going to make a comparison.
Everybody's going to attack me.
But remember, go through history.
It says, forget about World War II and what he did.
Mussolini came to power promising to make the trains run on time, among other things.
Now, forget all the other allies and everything he had, but think about that simple promise he was trying to make to the Italian people at the time.
Hey, man, things are so bad.
I'll tell you the truth.
We'll start simple.
I'll make the trains run on time.
And that's who she is in this telegenic, absolutely amazing campaigner that I think people should be joking about less and figuring out how to counter her and the people that are listening to her more.
I'm not buying it, man.
I understand why people make the argument that she's a formidable competitor.
I understand.
So, you know.
She's very big on social media.
For a politician, she's a 10, but in real life, she's a six.
I mean, not to go down that path.
They look at her like she's some incredible person because she's more attractive than all the other politicians.
But what are her policies?
What does she stand for?
She's living in the wokest leftist district in Brooklyn.
She's underqualified, she's unprepared.
And if she gets on a debate stage versus a Marco Rubio, are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
Talk about being qualified again.
Politician Policies Under Scrutiny00:05:27
I get why people want to play that game, but regarding the billionaires, I'm so sick of this.
You remember when you did the debate in Jubilee and you had to make your um uh, you said my assertion is the following, and you said billionaires are great for society, and then you went through the societies that have the most billionaires and the societies that have the least billionaires.
And if you just look at the math here, it's not even close.
United States here, obviously, China's second, which uses capitalism and then has communism to basically spread the wealth, but.
If you look at a map of South Korea versus North Korea, I mean, like the conversation's over.
Why?
Because billionaires create jobs and opportunities, and billionaires create millionaires.
And then millionaires, they create jobs and opportunities, they create thousandaires.
But when there's no millionaires and there's no billionaires, everyone's just equally poor.
So if you're just solving for equity where we're all in the same place, poor as hell, vote for AOC.
And that's the biggest problem that she just does not respect capitalism.
And it's scary because it's like the.
Tom, pointing out her, you know, she's not stupid, but she's not the brightest person in the room.
When she's like, you know what, we're all going to, the world's going to end if we don't change climate change and what?
Or is it six years or whatever?
Bernie Sanders said that.
And I tweeted this weekend, I said, you know, we're all dead.
Yeah, no, you're right.
We're supposed to be dead.
And I understand the fact that she's formidable in the sense of the social media and she's out there and she's attractive and she's that person.
But again, the policies that these people want, it has never worked.
It never worked.
This socialist, communist attitude.
Look at Mamdani.
She is the Mamdani.
You want your country to look like New York?
Then vote for these people.
And don't do this stupid identity politics.
Well, we need a few, we just need, I'm with her.
I'm with Hillary, one of the most corrupt people out there that costs the lives of Americans in Benghazi.
But it's who, I'm with her.
She's a, who cares?
Compared to Hillary, I mean, look, AOC makes Kamala Harris look like a genius.
She makes Hillary Clinton look like Albert Einstein.
Yeah, like there's different levels to this.
Okay, but by the way, if you notice, what did she say?
What reference did she say?
The American Revolution is what?
Whose name did she use?
Jefferson.
Jefferson, the Mad Men.
So, when's the last time you've heard her use the phrase Jefferson to try to teach us history?
When's the last time you've seen it?
I've never heard of it.
Okay, but why do you think you're hearing it?
Because she's trying to sound more presidential.
Because people behind closed doors are working with her saying, read this book, read that book, read this, study this, study that, study this, because you're going to go up against Marco Rubio.
This was a great glimpse of somebody who is prepping to run for president and they're learning history.
Okay, prepping.
There's a big difference, Adam, between prepping and winning.
Okay, I watched Rubio the other day.
He's at a hearing and he's being asked a question about, you know, this lady says, you have this job, you have that job, you have this job.
Are you really the National Security Advisor Council, whatever the NAC is at NAC, National Advisor?
Okay, so he's, and you're the secretaries and you're this.
And are Witkoff and Kushner talking to you?
Are they dealing directly with the president and you're not even involved?
He says, no, I talked to Witkoff and And he says, Let me answer this question because it's a very good question you're asking me.
And you just watch the way he handles himself and he educated.
The role that this job plays is this, and it depends on portfolio to portfolio, on what happens, on who communicates with who.
But I talked just the way he educates.
Good luck debating against a guy like that.
But I do think watching her, like when I go to Dylan, pick the team he's going to.
It took a couple months.
We don't need to make the announcement what team it is.
But he picked the team that he's going to.
Okay.
So, you know what happens when I go to these tryouts?
I'm like, I remember that kid.
Let me see how much he's improved.
He's gotten taller, but he's the same as he was two years ago.
I remember that kid.
My God, he's gotten better.
So, I go talk to the parent.
What have you guys been doing?
Then I'll go look at that kid.
I'm like, oh, he's still silly.
Then I'll go look at that kid.
I'm like, he's put on weight.
Then I'll go look at that kid.
I'm like, my God, that guy just got faster all of them.
He's a bullet.
Look at this guy.
Look how much of a speed that he has, right?
You have to watch what talent is doing.
AOC is realizing there's a difference between Miami, there's a difference between New York City and National.
She has to get these things right, and she's prepping for it.
And, you know, win or loss, I don't know, but she's not going to be one that's going to be.
Listen, there was a lot of people in the establishment that wanted Andrew Cuomo.
There's a lot of people in the establishment that wanted Andrew Cuomo.
But guess what happened?
Mamdani fought it, and what happened to Mamdani?
He won in what city?
New York City.
New York City, of course.
So, again, big difference, big different game, but.
She has a higher likelihood of replacing Chuck Schumer or something like that in New York, and that's still even statewide.
We'll see if that happens.
And we're glossing over the fact that she said billionaires during Thomas Jefferson.
What year is that?
1776.
The word billionaires didn't even come about.
Like Rockefeller was the first billionaire in 1900.
What the hell is she even talking about?
He's making the comparison.
She's trying to say that the billionaires of today are basically king of the world.
If you're a socialist, love the movie Robin Hood.
Always remember, what was the movie Robin Hood about?
Buying Habits Signal Recession00:03:44
Was it taken from the wealthy and given it to the poor?
No, it was not.
Robin Hood.
Who was the king in Robin Hood?
King George.
And what would he do?
Well, there was a feudal system.
They would basically tax the people and basically make them do anything.
It was not about the wealthy.
It was about the government overtaxing people.
Correct.
Actually, that is about socialism and high taxation and what it does in a government that tries to keep the promises and they don't.
It's got nothing to do with millionaires and billionaires.
You're absolutely right.
It's a bunch of bullshit.
You're absolutely right.
Yeah, when you watch.
Because they had all the money.
The king had all the money.
The government had the power.
It's like, no, give it to the people.
It wasn't like they were sitting for the bases of the most of the world.
It was done for the government.
Let's go to the next one.
Let's go to the next story I want to give you.
That's why Dems are trying to revise history in those books that we give the kids in school.
Let's go to Costco.
Rob, Costco.
I know it's not in one of the stories that we have.
But Costco is coming out predicting recessions around the corner.
And the reason why they're predicting recessions around the corner is based on one buying habit that you and I have.
And you know what the buying habit is?
Let me read it to you.
By the way, not just in the current recession or concern for recession, historically, we've always seen some, like within fresh protein, we've seen, we've always seen when there's a recession, whether it was 99, 2000, 2009, 2008, 2010, we would see some sales penetration shift from beef to poultry and pork.
And we have seen some of that now.
I think anecdotally, I heard a few months ago from our head of food and sunrise buyer that we saw some switch even to some canned products like canned chicken and canned tuna and things like that.
This is Costco CFO Richard Galanti saying the fact that we are not buying enough beef and we're going to chicken and pork.
Tom, do you agree with what they're saying here on the fact that we may be in the beginning of a possible recession?
Well, I think possibly.
And Costco would know because these things are shifting.
And I think there was a comment that was made by the McDonald's CEO last year when he wasn't inventing new burgers and having videos that criticize him for the way he bit a burger.
He was talking about that people were leaving fast casual like Applebee's, Red Robin, and Chili's, which cost this much for lunch, and coming back to McDonald's.
So there were things that happened there that you see the trends.
What's interesting here, we have to remember that beef was up 17.6%, that I found it earlier this year.
And with that increase, there was also, they were talking about the herds were small.
So the supply of beef was low, driving the price up.
So do we see, there it is, 17%, over 7%.
It was 17.6, 17.
I love it when I remember the right number.
So there you have it.
And so people are shifting from that protein to chicken or even canned chicken.
Now, could two things be true at once, Pat?
I think there are.
Beef was up, cost of buying groceries was up.
People shift to chicken lower cost, A.
And B, right now, the cumulative impact of the long term Biden inflation and the fact that wages have not kept pace, they're right even or even a little lower than CPI, means that people are struggling and they're looking, especially when you look at fuel, and maybe looking to conserve the home budget.
I think both can be possible, but beef was already expensive with seeing a little shift away since the beginning of the year.
Adam.
Well, there's no economic data that says that the recession has.
The technical definition of a recession is two consecutive orders of negative GDP.
I don't think we even have one.
Unless you're under Biden, then it's, yeah, they rewrote it during the.
I will say you can always pick out sample sizes like this.
Data Center Noise Concerns00:12:36
There is something, earmuffs, called the Stripper Index.
You're familiar with this?
The Stripper Index is basically saying, if you piqued your interest, buddy, it's all about discretionary income.
It's before the market and the number and the data, before the toms show up and be like, beep, beep, beep, beep.
It affects regular people.
You're the numbers guy.
So the party money, the fun money, the discretionary money, the stripper money, the make it rain money, when strippers are like, yeah, I only made 100 bucks tonight or 50 bucks tonight.
But yeah, six months ago, dude, I took a thousand bucks home.
All right.
When the strippers start feeling it, that's a problem.
Because men, we're stupid with our money a lot of times, right?
Women are spending their money on makeup and doing things like that.
Men have discretionary money bars, clubs, strippers, whatever.
So when they start feeling it, that's a problem.
And based on my sources, credible sources, the strippers haven't felt it yet.
Vinny, well, I don't even know what to say.
I guess to call Diamond right now and find out if Diamond is not doing well.
So, there you go.
We'll see what happened here.
Next story I want to get to is a data center.
62 square mile data center is being built in Utah.
People are not happy about it.
Kevin O'Leary was there.
But while this is happening, just to give you some fun facts on how big 63 square miles is, it's three Manhattans.
Manhattan is 23 square miles.
And at the same time, while this is taking place, you have to hear what the sound's like.
I don't want to give you a sound yet.
Let's first go to this, Rob.
Is this the town hall?
Yep, they get right into it.
Okay, go for it.
Concern and outrage in Utah.
For hell's sake, throw up.
Where hundreds of protesters this week flooded this meeting of Box Elder County Commissioners.
Can you be quiet and let our citizens hear what needs to be said, please?
As they voted to move forward with a controversial data center proposal backed by celebrity Canadian businessman Kevin O'Leary.
Hello, Sharks.
Known as Mr. Wonderful on the hit show Shark.
Tank.
You should do this deal.
You have no risk.
Just saying yes.
O'Leary firing back at the protest and criticism in this video posted on social media after the vote.
I'm pretty aware of what these concerns are.
They are around air, water use, heat.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do in terms of all these proposals.
Not just Utah.
The Stratus Project is a plan to build a 40,000 acre development near Utah's Great Salt Lake, boosted by government tax incentives.
And according to a county fact sheet, Is eventually expected to generate and consume up to nine gigawatts of power once completed.
A number MITA, the state entity backing the project, says is more than double Utah's average energy consumption.
That's the concern.
Data centers of the old have a bad reputation.
They gobble up a lot of water, they use up your power, and then when they're all built, they don't employ many people.
This is not that.
Power usage is completely self contained.
The project's potential environmental impact sparking much of the outrage.
We're losing land, we're losing water, and we're losing air quality.
This has the footprint.
Can you show the audio?
This is actually a very good video.
Can you show the audio of what it sounds like?
What these things sound like?
Is this going to be the same exact one, Rob?
Or which data center is this that's making this sound?
Do we know?
I'll find out what data center this is.
Yeah, let's find out which data center that's from.
Go ahead, Rob.
Sounds like a.
Sounds like.
Like a plane take the big, the air, the C5.
Yeah, is that really what it sounds like?
That's outside.
Go in the comment section.
I'm just curious on where this is.
Texas and Virginia, what does it say?
Texas and Virginia are currently leading the way with data centers.
Go a little bit lower to see what the audience is saying.
Go a little bit lower.
I'm just wondering if other people are saying this is what it sounds like.
That one, Pat, is in Vinland, New Jersey.
I had a data center that size as a client, it sounded nothing like this.
In fact, it didn't sound like anything.
What is making that noise?
Jet engines, external.
That's exactly what I said because I don't think that's what it sounds like.
Add positive, instead of relinquishing data to China, we should solve the self inflicted.
Go a little bit lower.
Let's see what she says.
They use different forms of electric power.
Some are even using gas turbines.
Don't argue with body counts.
Go a little bit lower.
What is the point of this?
Keep going a little bit lower.
Can we find out where that is, Rob?
I looked it up, Pat, and it says the data center in this video is Vineland, New Jersey, Cumberland County, South Jersey, large Microsoft backed AI data center facility.
And is the sound coming from that?
Can we find out if Grok or somebody can verify where that sound is coming from?
And I asked Pat, is this what they sound like?
She said, yes, that's exactly what large AI data centers sound like, especially when they're running heavy cooling systems or backup on site power generation.
The roaring humming in New Jersey is similar, massive arrays of cooling fans.
Air handling units and cooling towers.
Noise characteristics at a distance, half a mile, like many violent homes.
Meet your neighbor a giant data center.
Okay, this is what I want to see.
If this is real, I mean, what are we talking about if this is real?
Play this rap.
That's loud, Michelle.
That is loud.
But again, nowadays, I mean, you have to.
Who, by the way, can you do me a favor in the comment section?
Who lives by an AI data center?
Yeah.
And how bad is it?
You know, if you're actually right next to it right now, post a video right now with a link, send it to us on X.
A bunch of you guys are tweeting at me at PatrickBedDavid.
Post it on X and say, This is what it sounds like right now if you're close to a data center.
Tom, your thoughts.
So, data centers are getting a bad name, earning a bad name, but there's so much that we could be doing better about it.
For instance, water usage.
That's the one I look at because I think some of these data centers make this noise.
But I think other data centers are quiet unless they turn on the backup power.
And the backup power, these enormous diesel engines.
If you've ever heard a hospital do, you hear a little siren, and then the hospital does a power outage test, and you hear them fire up the big generators are outside.
It's loud, but that's the backup.
I want to know what the sound is actually coming from the data center, and how are they creating the power for the data center, and what are they doing about water?
I thought it was very, very funny.
A data center in Atlanta.
Pat, you'll love this.
They sucked up 30 million gallons of water until there was outrage because people were calling City Hall.
You know what they were asking?
I'm trying to take a shower and the water pressure's down.
And so they go, let's figure it out.
So the city literally sent out people to go look at it.
It was Annalise Park in Fayetteville, Georgia, about 20 miles south of Atlanta.
Vinny, you're going to love this.
They found out that one water connection had been installed without the city utility's knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company's account.
Therefore, they weren't being billed for the water.
Now, they cleaned everything up and they found out that the people that built it were trying to get it done and they did some things they shouldn't have done.
And so, Quality Technology Services paid back Atlanta $150,000 for the water and they got it all back together.
But the point is, the usage of water, I think, is bigger because power, if they'll just force them to make, and this is why I keep saying, Mr. President, Mr. President, get the nuclear power permits out so they could put a Gen 5 small reactor.
At the data center to provide power for the data center.
And then, if you have a local problem like tornadoes or power grid goes down in some areas, you reduce the power, you brown out the data center, and you switch it so that the nuclear reactor sends the power to the grid.
Now, the water side of this, this is a big issue.
It's like, where's the water going to come from?
And how do we recycle it?
Because they need all the cooling stuff.
And so, I think some of this, Pat, data centers deserve the wrap they're getting.
I want to see a survey just like you're asking about.
Which data centers are making noise?
Because my understanding is they can be built quiet except for the backup diesel generators, and you can be self sufficient on water and power.
But guess what?
The industry and its hunger to get these things built, they're not communicating or they're not designing them.
And they're getting people, righteous citizens, coming to City Hall, asking them for answers the way we've seen in these.
These are not crazy people.
Some of them are crazy, no data centers at all.
But other people are just saying, hey, what's the plan to keep my electricity going?
So the reason for this, these sounds of jet engines, multiple cities of people have filed lawsuits and complaints against these data centers because they're using these big machines, the GPUs, electricity, cooling airflow, which.
Facilities, chips from NVIDIA like the H100s, B200s, and GB200 systems.
And then while they're building up these racks, the 50 kilowatt, 100 kilowatt, even 150, they're using giant fans to cool off.
And that sound is like the AC sound you hear.
Like, you know how you have the AC on, you hear it.
In some places, they can make it even a little bit less quiet.
But no matter what, even at close range, it says the combined low frequency roar can resemble airport tarmac noise, a large warehouse turbine, or distant jet engines.
And the cities that AI campuses, residents are complaining it's Phoenix, Dallas, Ashburn, Memphis, and it's not slowing down.
So it is a real thing that that noise exists.
Rob, this is another one that you just pulled up.
If you want to play this, go for it.
So this is comparable to a data center that is going to be built over in the Bertram chain of lakes.
The guy from Skinner Properties told me to come and check out this data center.
That's bad.
I'm hoping that my phone is capturing that noise.
It is.
Oh, my.
It is actually significantly.
That's what happens in my ears when I sleep.
Bro, imagine working inside.
Like, imagine in there.
Okay, it didn't get any better.
Adam, thoughts.
Look, I.
This is an important question that I think we're going to have to have a conversation with, but I think there's precedent here that.
That everything is going to work out.
The first question I ask myself is Are we going to need data centers in America?
Yes.
We're going to need them, yes?
If we want to compete in the modern world, in the modern economy.
You don't do it, the enemy will.
So you get to pick and choose.
They're already doing it.
Yeah.
So to me, it's a non starter saying we can't have data centers in America.
It's going to happen.
The question is how close can they be from towns?
We have case examples of here.
We can't live near nuclear plants or power plants.
We don't live near landfills.
Not many of us live near.
Airports.
I know that we're ironically behind a wrong one on an airport right now, but they're going to figure out a rule where you know, and local towns and municipalities and states are going to figure this out.
You data centers can't be within X amount of miles from town centers or from where the people are.
If you're living out in Timbuktu in the middle of nowhere, sorry, buddy, that might affect you.
But the reality is, we're going to need data centers.
You know, who controls data and AI is going to control the future.
We're on a fight with China and a lot of our enemies out there, and if it's going to Affect some people's hearings, you might have to move.
They might not have to build the data centers right there.
But at the end of the day, data centers are good for society, good for the economy.
And just you might have to put on some earmuffs like in old school.
Tom, do they have to be next to the place that's using the?
Like, it can't be like, you know, when you're driving to Vegas, Pat, they have that outdoor solar panel field and it feeds all the way to.
You can put the data center wherever you want it.
You know what I'm saying?
You need water and you need energy.
And energy, you know, I'm on record saying that we should.
Accelerate the nuclear permits so they can have small reactors on site.
But if the cooling systems are still this loud, man, there is an opportunity somewhere for an entrepreneur to figure out how we can get cooling systems.
They will.
They're smaller, number one.
And number two, we got to figure out the water.
If they're using water for cooling and they're just saying, hang on a second.
Something tells me an entrepreneur is going to figure this out and tell these data centers to shh, quiet down.
Water Needs For Cooling Systems00:02:10
Yeah, but listen, when you're living close to it, what is the most disturbing living situation you ever had that the average person wouldn't understand it unless they experienced it?
Go ahead.
What was it for you?
Vinny snoring.
No, I'm being serious.
What is most disturbing?
I lived in an apartment complex in North Hollywood.
And Pat, when I tell you they were studio apartments, I was living upstairs, downstairs.
You heard everything.
Every single noise you heard, any upstairs, downstairs, anybody arguing, whatever.
My downstairs neighbor, this dude moved in.
Pat, the first day he moved in, I woke up and just walked to the bathroom and he was boom, and then started blasting music to get back to me.
And it was a fight.
It was a constant fight because I'm like, it's not my fault that you moved into an apartment.
By the way, I was there for four years.
You're coming to where I live.
And you can't handle like just walking regular walking, and it was like a fight where I was trying to fight him by our because there was a pool in the middle, you know, the studio apartments in North Hollywood.
It was horrible, Pat.
And thank god I got online.
Let me tell you something: have you ever lived in a major city?
Like, I never lived in New York, but I spent a lot of time there.
Any major city, it's loud as hell.
Any major city, construction going on, this, that, the other 24-7, the city never sleeps.
A lot of the people that are complaining are out in you know, Wichita, Kansas, whatever, they're not used to any noise, and all of a sudden, like.
These are the people complaining.
You talk to any person in any major city, New York City, anything like that, they're like, dude, this is an everyday thing.
Yeah.
Tom.
The worst living condition?
Right after I got out of college, rented a house with some other people.
That was all good.
But on the same street, you know, all of a sudden, you know, sirens in the middle of the night, and you go on there, and there's five people laying on the front lawn in handcuffs and everything.
And you find out that they built a kitchen, you know, they were building, it was like a And that they had tapped into the power line and were running all that power and lights and stuff in there.
And so it's like, wow.
What do you mean they were like a meth?
No, they were, yeah.
Cooking meth.
It was everything.
US Iran Strait Of Hormuz Tensions00:15:36
You're Walter White.
You're Walter White.
Speak over Walter White.
No, they were cooking meth.
And then the entire garage was hydroponic pot with all these lamps in it.
And it was, this is in West Hills, Canoga Park, near Sherman Way.
And now everybody was really.
Everybody was like concerned about traffic in that street for the next year.
And we were right.
People learn more about him.
It's not your fault.
No, what do you mean it's not his fault?
He's Walter White.
He's literally Tom.
Tom is Jesse.
Where do you think his money comes from?
How do you think he made all the money he made?
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse.
I mean, I walked down to the guy and I said, Say my name.
Tom, you killed Gustavo Spring.
And he said, Heisenberg.
And he says, You're right.
And then they left.
All right, let's go to the next store.
Okay.
So, but the point is if you ever, like for us, we're on the airport here, 11 acres, literally.
We have to get an update saying today an F 18 plane is taking off.
Every day it's planes taking off, and I actually don't mind it.
I love it.
Does it bother you?
No, it's crazy.
Did you think about it when these planes take off?
Well, yeah.
I mean, it's loud as hell, but you live and you learn.
From a military perspective, probably because we're military.
I love it, but not.
And also, what we hear doesn't come through as much as we think.
It's there, but it's not like if you're listening to the podcast, it's not a huge.
All right, let me get to the next story.
Trump calls Iran's response.
To a U.S. proposal to end, were totally unacceptable.
This is a BBC story.
Tom, I think you got a tweet or something on that to read.
Iran's semi official Sunim News Agency said Tehran's proposal sent via Pakistan, which has served as a mediator, included an immediate end to the war on all fronts, a halt to U.S. naval blockade, and guarantees of no further attacks on Iran.
A ceasefire meant to facilitate talks to end the war, launched by the U.S. and Israel in February, has been largely observed despite occasional exchange fires.
So while this is taking place, here's what the president had to say.
This is the tweet that came out.
I have just read the response from Iran's so called representative.
I don't like it.
Totally unacceptable.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Tom, how much progress is being made right now?
Because the president, Pezishkian, from Iran, did not directly reference the proposal, but said, We will never bow our heads before the enemy.
And if talk of dialogue or negotiation arises, it does not mean surrender or retreat.
Trump posted on Truth Social.
I've just read the response.
And Trump also said, They can call us.
No one's calling us.
They can call us.
So Trump is saying, If you want to do something, you can give us a call.
And they're not saying at any time they're going to start losing money to be able to pay their military personnel, their government personnel.
And then when they do, They're going to get desperate, but you hear different stories.
Tom, your thoughts.
We've been waiting for Iran to respond as a rational actor and get desperate now for three weeks.
They haven't because they're not a rational actor.
And you've got things like the British over the weekend said that they were going to send a frigate to the Gulf to help with the safe passage of ships.
Did you see that, Pat?
Yeah.
They're like, even the British are saying, okay, we're going to send a ship and we're going to join you to create a safe passage patrol here.
Price of oil today went back up three bucks.
Now we're back up to $98.33.
And the closer we are to $100, the more I feel like, you know, we're not getting there.
And that's futures, Rob.
Go WTI.
And on the other side of it is you've got him openly saying, nobody's calling us.
Yeah, 97.29.
So almost 98.33 on the other side.
So here we are back to 97.50, 98 for oil.
And he said, nobody's calling.
And so I hope that means that Witkoff is talking.
So, but look at who is trying to help.
Pakistan sends a message, hey, Mr. President Trump, will you please look at this?
If that's the truth, then that's the way it happened.
And then the British saying, hey, we'll send a ship.
Seems like everybody else is saying, can we get moving here?
Can we get this fixed?
But we're sitting there every day saying, listen, we don't like that.
We reject that.
And boy, if you keep this up, they'll be held to pay.
How long is that circle?
That just seems like we're spinning a circle right there.
It's kind of frustrating.
Adam.
Well, we're going to be playing the wait in the game a little while longer on Iran because I don't see this situation ending anytime soon.
So you're saying the short term pain isn't going to be short term?
It's long term pain for the long term game.
Long term game.
Why?
Because the biggest thing that's going on in the world this week is Trump's about to go meet with Xi.
And there's going to be two major conversations with Xi.
And one of them is regarding Iran.
Because believe it or not, this is hurting China's economy worse than it's hurting America's economy.
We don't get any oil or goods out straight of Hormuzzi.
China gets all that and then some from the Strait of Hormuz.
So, if you're Iran and you have no problem being the world's bad guy, you don't care about your people.
Your people are basically broke and penniless and starving for food and water, and they don't care.
If you're willing to terrorize the entire world, just imagine what you're going to do to your own people.
So, I don't think anything's going to happen this week.
Continue to pay a little bit more at the pump, and let's see what the outcome of this Trump.
She meeting is when one of the cornerstones is what do you want to do with China?
And maybe, maybe Trump and she figure something out, diplomatically speaking.
But Iran is not breaking yet in the terms of that they're willing to concede to an agreement because why would they?
They don't care.
They're willing to die on this hill.
And as long as they survive, they feel like they've won.
So don't expect any news anytime soon.
I think there's a high likelihood after this Trump Xi meeting, if there's nothing established, that they go out and do something militarily because right now it's just economically.
I think there's the.
That China does something militarily?
No, no, no.
That the United States does something again militarily.
Whether it's Karg Island, whether it's going out and taking out more people or more things, setting a precedent.
But I just don't think that taking out people worked.
They thought taking out all these leaders, I just felt like Trump was, I don't know, the misconception of just taking out these guys.
Because Adam, once the one's gone, the next one's coming up.
It's just like, Tom made it perfect.
This is just going to be a cycle that's going to keep on going.
So, Members, I agree with you.
There are certain people, like, so for instance, The 20 nuclear scientists that they took out that basically were spearheading their entire nuclear program.
You take these guys out, yeah, you got a problem because still the cornerstone of all their negotiations, everything is the nuclear thing, the enriching uranium.
You take out their basically nuclear capacity to enrich and their scientists, yeah, I'd say that makes a major difference.
I agree with you on the Ayatollah.
Now they got the Gabe, Parent, and so on, or whatever.
I agree.
The IRGC is still there.
What is it called?
The Bastille.
What is it called?
Yeah, I look.
I don't know all the stories behind.
So, this is my feedback coming based on pure podcaster, pundit thought, just my ideas on what I'm saying.
You know what the challenge is now, Vinny?
Is when you were there attacking and we were playing offense and the temperature was super high and the anger towards the president was very high and the Republicans was very high and then we went ceasefire.
To try to lower the temperature and be able to figure something out.
Pakistan obviously doesn't have any influence over Iran for Iran to want to negotiate, and nothing's happening with Pakistan where they call them and say, hey, let's figure something out, let's do something.
So, Pakistan to me is not an influential player here.
They're just the influence to say, we're holding a meeting at Islamabad.
What a great name.
So, they're just being a facilitator.
But you're not a facilitator that has any influence because Iran's not listening to you.
So, me, from the U.S. standpoint, I would look at that.
Number two, What you were doing, you were creating pressure.
There was tension.
There was uprising.
If you have to restart that again, you're now going back to the level of hates you had four weeks ago, five weeks ago, six weeks, whatever the timeline was, when we were actually playing offense and attacking and doing certain things.
If you don't, this tweet of every single time, totally unacceptable, totally this, totally that, you know, if it's Trump's playbook of, hey, he kept hitting boats.
There was drugs on that boat, Venezuela.
He kept hitting boats.
He kept hitting boats.
It's not acceptable.
And then also, middle of the night, hey, surprise, we got Maduro.
Oh, shit.
Okay, so they've been working behind closed doors.
So if I'm a betting man, behind closed doors, they're working on something that the average person does not know about.
What that something is, I don't know.
But if they have to go back to attacking again, Vinny, they never needed to stop.
If you're choking them, it's kind of like remember that one fight where the guy has him?
By the way, great UFC card.
Shout out to Strickland for winning the way he did.
Amazing.
But you know how sometimes you have a person and you see the guy backing off and then he ends up losing?
Yeah, I remember.
Like you have the guy.
We recently, you have a UFC fight in Miami.
The guy's killing him with the kicks.
The guy tears his, I don't know what he tore on.
It looked like he tore his knee.
And then he's like just playing relaxed.
He could have finished the fight, and the guy knocks him out, and it's over.
So I feel like the U.S. is maybe doing that.
And if you have to get back in, I don't think it's going to be a good look if they get back in there.
Because now he's, you remember, he delayed the meeting he was supposed to have with G in March.
Now they're doing it this Wednesday, Rob.
I think you said Wednesday.
Yep.
And he's going in there with what victories?
What is he going in there with?
Because one of them was Trump was trying to do a 10% tariff.
Did you guys see the 10% tariff thing?
That was a.
Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional.
Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional because he came out and said.
You know, where is that on the Constitution?
Yeah, there it is.
Donald Trump's 10% global tariff ruled illegal by U.S. court.
Illegal by U.S. court.
That 10%, you know, who is he playing that against?
Most likely China and others.
So now you mean to tell me that the courts this quickly said no?
So if they're taking all his leverage cards away, now what is he going to be going in there with?
He's got to go there with something.
Yeah.
He's got to go there with something.
So while BB was being interviewed, On this, was it the 60 minutes, Rob, or what interview was it?
60 minutes.
He was asked about the question of did China provide some military weapons to Iran?
And it was the only thing while he was being interviewed, he said, I'm going to keep my mouth closed because you know Mossad knows if China gave him anything.
What do you think are the chances that Mossad knows exactly what weapons?
Okay.
So now watch it.
This was the only part that he was a little bit uncomfortable.
Go ahead, Rob.
Do you really want to have a fanatic regime with nuclear weapons?
that is committed to Islamist revolutionary revolutions.
That's what Iran's constitution says.
We're committed to export the Islamist revolution.
So China should think about.
Because it's apparently doing it right now.
Could be.
Could be.
I don't want to speak for China.
I don't want to speak also for the eyes and ears on this.
Yeah, well, you know.
But I also have a closed mouth when necessary.
Hmm, it says a lot.
So, you see that conversation.
I'll pause.
So, to me, this meeting, everything that's going on with Iran going to China, he has to be thinking about what things will be discussed, what leverages he has, what things he can give to Xi.
He's already got a chokehold on him with Panama, with Strait of Hormuz.
China needs that oil.
So, he can go in and say, I'm going to work with you, do a favor for you if you do this for me with Iran.
So, I. How interested are you?
I'm trying to figure out, because I see where your brain is going.
What is Trump going to go in there with?
What's the thing where he's going to go, hey, listen, I know you need this?
He does have a lot of leverage, but you want to, you know, every year when we would, Tom knows this.
Every year we ran PHP, every time we had a big event, from the moment the event was over with till next year's event, guess what I'm working on for 12 months?
What am I working on, Tom?
Growing the next year's event, thriving.
What am I looking at?
What do I want to announce?
All I'm doing is new announcements at the Vault conference.
Not at our annual convention that we have.
So if I left an event and I have my next event coming up with my guys, I want an announcement at the next event.
Then if I'm going, so it's constant announcement about progress that you're making.
So he's constantly working on announcement to be making.
What announcement is he going to be making out of China?
I don't know.
He's working right now behind closed.
By the way, the next 48 hours, don't be surprised if you get a crazy announcement made from Trump or the White House to, To claim a victory on something.
I don't know what it is, but I'm expecting one of those tweets to say, great news, such and such.
We just brokered a deal with pa, that's going to create this many.
I'm expecting something like that in the next 48 hours.
Adam.
Regarding China?
Yeah.
Well, this is a big, big meeting.
This is probably the biggest meeting in the world.
Yeah, there are so many storylines that have gotten unfortunately buried behind everything that's attached to Israel.
Israel and Gaza, we completely forgot about the entire war in Russia and Ukraine, which I don't know if you saw what's happening there.
They announced some sort of ceasefire, which is the first we've seen in something like that.
We've also forgot that China is our number one enemy.
What Trump wants to do, which is, you know, major kudos for him taking down Iran and what he's doing there, but he hopefully wanted to pivot immediately to get to China.
Because Israel and Iran are going to have a longstanding thing.
They're neighbors.
They're not going anywhere.
They're going to have their internal issues.
And obviously, Israel is clearly kicking Iran's butt.
But Trump was hoping to pivot from Iran to China because that is our number one geopolitical threat in the world today.
So he's going into this meeting with some L's, but also with some W's, with some wins.
Because don't forget, the Strait of Hormuz is affecting who?
More than the United States, China.
China is desperately being affected by the Strait of Hormuz.
And if you look at the Wall Street Journal, if you want to look up the cover story, it says Iran war hangs over the China summit.
As Trump prepares to meet Xi Jinping this week, he's eager to move forward from the conflict that is hurting the domestic power and global economy.
And it talks about some great things that China is doing, but how their economy is starting to crumble, how China is feeling the effects of this war way more than the United States.
There you go.
So we'll see.
We'll see what's going to happen here.
I do think, in a major way, they both want the same thing.
I do think, in a major way, they both want the same thing because China relies on their export to go.
And so they need both the import of the oil and the export of their products that they have.
So, again, like I've said this for the last 10 years, I trust this guy negotiating on behalf of you and I, the American people, in the rooms more than anybody else.
And let's see.
Let's see what happens with that meeting.
A couple other things I want to get into before we wrap up.
China Oil Export Reliance00:09:57
Did you watch the roast of Kevin Hart?
I just did.
Did you watch the roast of Kevin Hart?
I saw clips.
I did not.
Which clips have you seen?
I saw Tony Hinchcliffe.
What was it like, 13 minutes, Rob?
He was just brutal.
I saw.
Did you see Cat Williams?
I just saw a clip, a small clip of him.
So, is it fair to say that Cat Williams and Kevin Hart, it's not like they're.
They have not been friends or allies.
If you remember Cat Williams' most popular podcast, Two years ago, that he did with Shannon Sharp, that went viral.
One of the guys that he was talking about was who?
Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart.
Called him out.
So here's Cat Williams talking about Kevin Hart and Diddy.
Have you seen this?
I have.
No.
Okay, so this is good.
You guys haven't seen it.
Here's Cat Williams talking about Kevin Hart and Diddy.
Go for it.
There was a record number of releases on the bed, in the pool, on the floor, everywhere but the hose.
Fluffy.
But I want to be clear.
Just because Kevin went to ditty parties does not mean he did something wrong.
The fact that he gets all quiet when you bring it up means he did something wrong.
By the way, that's Scat Williams for you.
The guy's brutal, and then it was Tom Brady had a moment.
I don't know if you saw the Tom Brady one.
Tom Brady, the reason why this was a good one is because this is Tom Brady's way of getting back at heart.
And listen, Hart's a professional.
He does this for a living.
So he knows how nasty these things get.
Go ahead, Rob.
Have you even left the forum?
Or have you just been here screaming into that mic the last two years waiting for daddy to come home?
Well, unlike your real dad, I actually showed up.
Oh, you son of a bitch.
You son of a bitch.
And I brought you a jersey.
Oh, you son.
Give me the fucking jersey.
That's newborn size.
Give me the fucking jersey.
All right, sit down.
Hey, with the language.
Fucking hobbit.
He's hobbit.
He, They talk about abortion and he talks about what's his name's father.
Oh my God.
Father?
Like, what's his name's father?
Kim Kardashian's.
Robert Kardashian?
No, no.
Tony Henson.
There it is.
Pat.
He is.
It's seven minutes.
Oh, it's too long.
This is the one here that's just the beginning of it?
Just put the beginning.
It's brutal, Rob.
It's so brutal.
Go ahead, Rob.
One more time for Tiana Taylor, everybody.
That was amazing.
This roast is so ghetto.
I thought I heard a fire alarm chirp at one point during our session.
Are you still watching?
One more time for Shane Gillis.
He looks like the type of slave owner that you can trick into buying Kevin Hart.
So he'll get bigger, right?
If Kevin was a slave, his song would be, Let My People Grow.
This is a big roast.
Kevin Hart is trying to fill Tom Brady's shoes.
A lot of extra space.
That's like Pete Davidson's dick trying to fill Kim Kardashian's vagina.
Indeed, the closest Pete has come to greatness is when his dick rubs.
Up against some of Kanye's old time.
I didn't know this was what it was.
It was so bad.
It was nasty.
We can bust it over, buddy.
All right.
But did you watch the whole thing?
I didn't watch the whole thing.
No, it is.
Brutal.
No, but I do watch a lot of the roasts, by the way.
And they're incredible.
And they're always for a good cause.
And you got to give whoever's being roasted some major respect.
I mean, you think about some of the greatest roasts of all time.
Trump did a roast.
They roasted Trump.
Snoop.
Do you remember what Snoop said about Trump at his roast?
No, it was about Trump.
This ain't the first time you kicked a black man out of his house.
Exactly.
I haven't seen that.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Snoop's sister.
Tom Brady did a roast recently.
He did.
It's a nasty one.
Pamela Anderson, I see Justin Bieber.
Listen, to sit there and get there and take a joke, it's a special type of person for a good cause.
And I know that you were trying to lead the charge, and I can help you do this of doing a BB Netanyahu roast.
I know that was something that was near and dear to your heart.
Well, that word alone has a different meaning to different people.
There are some people that really don't like that guy.
Yeah.
But, you know, it's funny.
We were talking this morning with Rob on the interview that happened with him.
Timing.
With the market, I had a call with somebody.
I don't want to say the person's name.
And I said, Look, you guys are not winning the PR game because of the way you're handling yourself.
And it's horrible.
In this world, the moment, like, you know, people that I've known for many years who maybe I haven't spoken to in a while because they have their own lives.
They're, you know, good friends of mine, California, Texas, they live different places.
They'll say, Oh my God, I see the comment section.
And is everything okay?
It's as if, like, this just happened.
See, the thing about criticism.
If you all of a sudden go public and you're like a rookie who just got a contract, you go public and they criticize you, you're not used to it, Tom.
So, you watch the comment section 24 7 because you're worried about the comment section, right?
But if you're gradually coming up and you've been beaten up and people are trashing you left and right, you know what ends up happening?
You end up realizing this is part of the game.
You either keep your mouth shut and don't say anything, or if you do, there's going to be some pushback.
And if you're expecting to win 100% of people over in the world, good luck to you.
That's a very tough life you're living.
It's a miserable life you're living if you're trying to win everybody over.
But yeah, I do think this roast idea.
The timing's got to be right.
Yeah, do you have the Trump one with Snoop?
This is the legend.
You haven't seen this one?
Oh, you have to hear this.
This is what Snoop said about Trump on his road.
A decade ago.
Go for it.
More longer than that.
Donald says he wants to run for president and move on into the White House.
Why not?
It wouldn't be the first time you push the black family out of their home.
Damn.
Ivanka sees again.
I'm like.
And by the way, it turned out to be true.
Yeah, well, Obama was already out.
So it's not like, you know, Obama, it's not like he kicked him out, he kicked Biden out.
No, he was kicked.
Well, you know, I mean, he replaced.
No, he replaced.
I know, but Obama served two terms.
Yeah, that's the part.
But Biden was kicked out.
Like, if you ever watched a Melania documentary, in the documentary, the last 40 minutes of the documentary, the first 40 minutes is about fashion, the last 40 minutes is about what happened when they went into the White House.
It's actually worth watching because you see how annoying it was and how they treated Trump.
Yeah.
And then how satisfying it felt when Jill Biden and Joe had to get out of the property.
Trump kicked Biden out of.
Oh, really?
Oh.
He's stepping.
No, no, he did.
And he was still, they were still graceful about it.
But are you seeing what they're saying right now with the 2020 election, the fraud, everything that Trump has said?
I couldn't even say these words.
Now they let me use these words.
Because when they come out and everybody sees that these guys cheated and they did.
Are you seeing this last week and what he's been saying?
I'm hoping it comes out.
So we'll see.
I mean, obviously, a lot of this stuff.
Today is Fauci's last day.
If Rand Paul is going to do anything.
Tom, do you think there's going to be anything done with Fauci today?
So do I think that.
It's the deadline.
It's the deadline for it's a five year deadline today.
Okay.
So, do I think enough congressmen or senators or whomever will put pressure on the Department of Justice so that their major campaign donors, I mean, the pharmaceutical industry, will get behind Fauci actually being prosecuted for hurting their, I mean, making them billions in profits?
Do I think that that's going down?
Hell no.
Hell no.
This is going to expire.
It doesn't matter how bad Fauci is, it doesn't matter how terrible it was.
And we could scream and scream all day.
And I'm with Vinny.
And by the way, on a good day, I am more passionate and more angry and more dedicated and more focused than the angry patriot.
I am the nuclear patriot on my days.
But do I think something's going to happen here?
No, I don't.
Because of the amount of pharmaceuticals in the industry that have money behind these candidates and by the people in office?
No, because guess what happens?
The dominoes start falling.
It's not just Fauci.
It's now you get back into okay, should we have done it this way?
Should we have given them, you know, immunity in Congress?
Should we have done this?
Should we have controlled the CDC different?
Fauci is a domino.
Nobody wants to tip over and nothing is going to happen.
That's my opinion.
I'm with Tom on this.
Nothing's going to happen, but I, you know, immunity, pardon, all that.
But I'm nominating our very own Vincent O'Shaughnessy for the unofficial Fauci czar.
I want you to keep an eye on this guy moving forward.
I know how much you detest this guy.
He makes.
As of today, I don't see anything happening.
It's going to fall on your lap.
He's one of the type of people that makes it very, very difficult to be a Christian because you have to pray that he gets it right.
Because, Adam, guess what?
So true.
From the looks of it, Thomas, it's not going to happen here.
But guess what, Adam?
You don't think he knows every single thing that his conniving self did and all the millions of people's lives that are affected?
And so, remember, we talk about the thief on the cross that you're like, whoa, you mean last minute?
He better get right and he better do it fast because if we don't get justice here, God won't.
Lonnie Wilson Legal Troubles00:02:02
Pat, just really, really quick.
Do you remember Jill Biden's?
Because you guys mentioned the Biden's.
Her ex husband, they found.
His wife dead.
He was just charged with murder for killing his wife.
Remember, Jill Biden's ex husband, his wife died.
She fell or something, Rob, in the parking lot.
Unrelated story to Fauci.
Unrelated to Fauci, but Pat mentioned the Bidens.
Jill Biden's ex husband, apparently, I saw it on Fox, I sent it to her.
Wow, stabbed, shot, suffocated, strangled, and bludgeoned.
Yeah, weird.
Suicide.
Yeah, yeah, suicide.
Yeah, I want to wrap up with this story.
I want to wrap up with this story.
Who remembers Lonnie Wilson?
Lonnie Wilson.
Who remembers Lonnie Wilson?
Rob, can you type in Lonnie Wilson images?
Okay.
Just type, no, no, just type in Lonnie Wilson and then on search, go to images.
Who remembers Lonnie Wilson?
Okay.
Remember the Lonnie Wilson?
She was married to Jermaine Jackson.
Rob, can you pull up the thing I just sent you?
Oh, yeah, I do remember her.
Lonnie Wilson.
Was she a Baywatch girl?
She was gorgeous.
She was, you know.
Was she Baywatch?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Lonnie Wilson was like a Pamela Anderson type of a girl.
Look up the one I just sent you, Rob, on.
I just texted it to you literally right now.
If you want to pull it up, watch what happened to Lonnie Wilson.
Okay.
Do you see it all the way at the bottom?
You have a text right there.
Watch this.
That's before and after with Lonnie Wilson.
No way.
Zoom in.
No.
Drugs?
Of course.
Cocaine.
Oh my goodness.
Go to the next page.
No.
That's meth.
No.
That's more than meth.
Are you kidding me?
That's Lonnie Wilson.
No way.
Yeah.
That's Lonnie Wilson today.
Pat.
Why is this whole thing in Spanish?
You can translate it.
That looks like, oh my God, it looks like Gollum from Lord of the Rings.
You know what's crazy when you see it?
Go back on the pictures, Rob.
Go back on the cup.
That's a tough one to see.
But when you see this, you know what it is?
And the part with a story like this isn't necessarily, when you think about it, I read Charlie Munger's Almanac.
Can you pull up Charlie Munger's Almanac?
Viral Video Reaction Analysis00:04:16
I actually think it's a very good book for everybody to order.
I don't know how much it is, like 50 bucks or something like that.
Everybody should have in their office, A Charlie's Almanac to just read.
How much is it?
Yeah.
Okay, 20 bucks.
But buy the other one.
Buy the hardcover one.
Yeah.
Go to the other one, Rob, so we can see the right image.
The big blue one.
Maybe go back to images.
Maybe go back to images that you had right there.
Click on one of the blue ones.
Yeah, click on the right there.
So when you read this book, in the book, they interview his kids.
I don't know how many kids he's got.
My memory, I think he had six kids or five kids.
He had a lot of kids.
And they said, what was eight kids?
So, yeah, a lot of kids.
So, they asked his kids, what would daddy talk to you guys about during dinner?
You know what they said?
He said, Dad wouldn't talk about success stories.
He would do the opposite.
He would tell stories of people that had success and lost it all, or that almost experienced success and then lost everything they had for many different reasons bad friends, drugs, alcohol, all this stuff that you go through.
Yesterday, I'm reading this book on estate planning and legacy and all this stuff.
And when you're going through it, one of the things it talks about in this book, it says the challenge kids with wealthy families have is they have access to everything.
It's right in front of you.
Whatever you want to get, you have access to it.
You want to get drugs, you want to get girls, you want to do anything, you have access to it.
The wealthy lead lives of exceptional temptation given the ease with which they can indulge lust, gluttony, and sloth.
School and extracurricular activities for children must therefore be prioritized.
Those which teach discipline, the child who masters his body against sloth, gluttony, and cowardice, is well disposed to latter master his spirit against lust and corruption.
Okay, and he's kind of talking about how to do this with kids.
I thought it was a very important thing to do.
There is no difference between Lonnie and us.
You see a story with Lonnie, it can happen at anybody, it can happen to anyone.
You know, to some people, maybe not at that level.
You know, when you get to a level like that, when you see someone go, it hurts because that's someone's kid, that's someone's daughter, that's someone's, you know, friend that goes through a situation like that.
But it is that important to constantly talk to your kids about not just success stories, about the people that had a close shot at doing something big with their lives that they destroyed it because of a bad friend, bad situation, trying to please.
A guy was sitting with me in one of our meetings last week.
He asked me a very good question.
This guy, I don't want to say his name because.
He asked a personal question.
He says, I've always had the reputation of being the class clown.
You know, I always have the reputation of being the guy that jokes around so everybody laughs.
Everybody laughs and all this stuff.
I'm kind of always that guy.
I said, Look, there's a difference between being funny and being silly.
There's a difference between being funny and silly.
One time, one of my kids came home and him and I were sitting down talking, and I told him, I said, Listen, do you want to grow up to be a clown?
No.
I said, Because let's look at the clown salary.
Rob, can you pull up the average salary of a clown?
Pull up the average salary of a clown, and I went through the whole thing.
Said, look, if you want, look, daddy will help you become anything you want to become.
The average salary of a clown makes $62,000, so $80,000 a year.
Okay?
You can be a clown if you want to.
Is that what you want to do?
There's a difference between comedian and clown.
I said, you can laugh, you can joke, you can tell jokes.
Comedians do that all the time.
But silliness, where everybody looks at you and laughs at you versus laughs with you, That is a big difference.
And so, in life, you know, the dinner this week, we had a very good dinner this week that we went out.
It typically always turns into some kind of a conversation that we go to.
Every time it's a different type of a topic we go to.
But we have to shape the mindset of our kids that you're one friend, one bad friend, one bad party, one bad situation away from destroying your life.
Comedy Versus Silliness Distinction00:07:34
One bad temptation.
It's not a big deal.
Just try this.
Everybody does this.
It's a little bit, it's not that much.
You can control it.
I know how to control my lick, I know how to control my drugs, I know how to control this.
And today, for every boring message like this, there's plenty of guys on TikTok and Instagram that are telling the other part.
If you only do enough LSD and you control it, you're going to be fine.
If you just try a little bit of mushrooms, if you just do a little bit of TRT, if you just do a little bit of, you know, Sosten and 250 or DECA or D Ball or all this stuff while you're 18, 19, 20, it's just a little bit.
It's not a big deal.
Let's just do a little bit.
So I saw that picture with Lonnie.
Listen, back in the days, if you came to my room in the army, I had pictures of all these girls on my wall.
In the RB, I had one of those walls.
Amy Fidali, Lonnie, Monica, I wouldn't say Monica Brandt was her name.
Was it Monica Brandt?
It was Monica Brandt, yeah.
Monica Brandt on the wall.
Amy Fadali, type in Amy Fadali, Rob.
Amy Fadali, it was F A D H A L I.
I want to F A D H F A F A A, not I. F A D, right there.
I think that's the one.
Go on images there.
Yeah, that was her.
So then there was another one called Angel Teves, T E V E S.
I remember all these girls' names.
A lot of posters.
Rob, keep going.
A lot of posters of girls.
Angel S.
Yeah, there you go.
That one right there.
That poster was on my wall.
That poster right there.
I'm telling you.
So, you know, a lot of these girls, right?
You know, a lot.
And by the way, eventually I went to Mr. Olympia.
I met Angel.
I met a lot of these.
But they went from like this, Vinny, overnight, destroying their lives.
So, I don't know if it's timely or not for you, but if you have a daughter or a son that you want to sit down and tell some of these stories, as much as it's painful, sometimes you got to scare the crap out of your kids to know what's possible if you don't make some good choices.
You make some bad choices.
You can destroy your life.
Anyways.
Well, one, and I just want to piggyback on how great, because we've been through it, and I know people that have been through it.
The people that you surround yourself with, and then you have to equip them with the right thing, Pat, because sometimes they're going to cross paths with those people.
It's inevitable.
It's inevitable.
And every time I see somebody like that, besides being the daughter of a mother, father, who are you surrounding yourself around that is going to introduce you to heroin or meth?
You know what I'm saying?
That my father taught me, Pat, only, honestly, two things that I remember.
He was just the guy that provided the bills.
My mom was the love and the caring and all that stuff.
My dad was just the authoritative figure and just paid the bills, even though he drank and smoked and entertained his friends.
It was, you tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are.
And every time these people would be around Pat, my mom would know.
She had that intuition.
You know what I mean?
She would just point and be like, I don't trust that one.
And mind you, I knew killers.
I knew a guy that literally his mother's boyfriend was abusing and blah, blah, blah.
And he actually shot and killed her.
That guy is in my house post getting out of jail because the community got behind him because it was self defense.
She loved him, adored him, but the one that would come in and she'd be like, Stay, that's I don't trust that guy.
That was the one that was always trying to push me.
And like you said, smoke a little bit of this, just do a little of this.
But I didn't smoke wheat flows out of the military.
I didn't do nothing.
I was on the straight.
Just started last week, first time of my life.
Congratulations, Tom.
Was Tom finally giving you with the bong?
Yeah, yeah, with the bong.
What's the one you like the most, Tom?
Well, there was Acapulco Gold, there was Maui Waui, there was Northern California.
You know why he shaved his mustache because he burned himself smoking a joint.
See, that's that's a better story than the one he gave.
By the way, excuse me, it's a blunt.
Oh, my bad.
My bad.
It's just great that Tom's a bigger partier than Adam was.
Yeah.
But BizDoc Signature Series Bong at VTmerch.com.
Don't make the bong noise.
Don't do the bong noise.
What you're saying is true.
I mean, I've read these estate planning fails.
You're talking, remember the show Scared Straight?
The scariest thing is when you watch it happen in front of your eyes.
I've lost more than a handful of friends to drugs, alcohol, overdose, and all that.
But.
There's one thing that is more challenging than anything else.
I have one friend who's already lost his brother.
His brother overdosed and died about a year and a half ago.
And to deal with the issue, he's now doing drugs.
And we're telling him, and this is a very good friend of mine, man, stop.
This is my last time.
I promise.
Does it again.
Dude.
And when you care for somebody and you want to help them change, and some people use it as an escape, some people have an addiction, some people want to use it as fun and have fun.
The problem is when it's all three.
And it's the saddest thing because when you see someone, you know, the Chaz quote, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent.
When you see someone so incredibly talented, whether it was this famous actress, whether it's, you know, what's the guy from Friends that died, Matthew Perry, when you see them and you're like, please stop drinking, please stop doing this, and they promise you, And then their words are hollow and they have no meaning.
You don't know what to do as a friend.
So, this is something that I'm seeing that's a challenge.
And we just want our friends to not do this.
But you made a great point, though, about teaching them and telling them and showing them you have to, because especially people that have money at them, they have the money success.
Who's telling them no?
Because they fear, Pat.
And I had this type of friend, I have a couple of them, where if you tell them and you have that talk, it's like, who the hell do you think you are?
And they will cut you off like that.
That's the point.
You're done.
A guy, Menectomy, I told him something.
I said, Guy sends me a minute and says, How do you handle all this stuff?
I said, You know what's the greatest compliment now?
I know, but at the time when I was going through it, it was painful.
He says, What's that?
I had one good friend of mine.
His name was Davina.
He's the only guy.
Davina.
Good looking guy, good with the ladies, fun.
I know his number off the top of my head right now.
I can just tell you his number.
I'm not going to because everyone's going to text the guy.
But he was the only guy that when I came out of the military, I lived with him for 18 days.
During my break, I lived with him.
I love Davina.
But one day, I used to go out with all these guys and he calls me.
We used to work at Burger King together at 14 years old.
Oh, yeah.
Literally, he was the drive-thru guy.
He was a chef in the back.
My manager, Eddie, would have made me a drive-thru.
He says, You talk too much.
He says, You just go in the back.
So I would make Burger King, whopper, no onion.
So funny.
And I had my shirt.
No onion.
He only had a medium shirt, and my lower back was always up.
Because you're bending over making this.
I said, Get me a damn extra large.
I only got a medium right now.
What are you wearing?
I was wearing my payless shoes.
I like what Pat was here.
His payless shoes, pizza were missing.
Three people can validate that story: Devine, Kogan, and Eddie.
But, anyways, one day Devine calls.
He says, Hey, Pat, what are you doing tonight?
I said, Dude, I'm reading on stocks tonight.
I got to finish that part up.
He says, You're reading on stocks?
I said, Yes.
He says, Man, and by the way, I haven't gone to clubs now for a year and a half with them.
He says, Pat, can I tell you something?
I said, Yeah, what's that?
He says, I missed old Pat.
He says, We all missed old Pat.
First time he said it to me, it hurt.
So then you get off, and then you realize you went from the cool guy to the boring guy to the guy that's pursuing a vision.
But sometimes the biggest compliment people will ever give you.
Is I miss the old you.
And that's actually a compliment.
It's not a negative thing.
It's actually a compliment.
It's a badge of honor because I don't miss the old guy.
Pat And Devine Stock Night00:01:06
I love the new guy.
I enjoy spending time with this new guy.
If you're wiser and you never have to go through it, even better for you.
Like Trump never drank alcohol.
If you can go through without ever doing that, even better for you.
But, anyways, before we wrap up the podcast, guys, I just looked at the amount of people that you really want to know what's in the survey.
We put it out there now.
Last one, if you guys want to get the survey, text the word PBD to 310 340 1132 to get the survey.
It's very, very detailed.
Again, PBD to 310 340 1132.
And last but not least, on Hot Cakes and Hot Takes, podcast is coming out right now with the one and only Nick Shirley with Vinny.
And if you guys haven't tuned in yet, it's about to go live in two minutes.
So go to Valetame and Comedy and support it.
And be sure to subscribe to VT Comedy.
We are very close.
To a million subscribers.
Vinny getting to a million subscribers, a massive surprise is going to happen to him.
Okay, massive surprise.
So help him out.
Let's get him to a million.
Uh-oh, let's go, boys and girls.
Let's get him there.
All right, with that being said, God bless everybody.
