30 seconds. I know this for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright.
My handshake is better than anything I ever saw. It's right here. You are one. My son's right about this.
Folks, hope you had a good weekend. We got a lot of stuff. To say this weekend was jam-packed. I think it's an understatement. Uh Tom, if you want to turn off your phone, please. To say this weekend was uh busy would be an understatement with the amount of things that's going on with the stories with Jerome Powell investigation. What is that all about? Right. Jerome Pal investigation w with uh Trump uh yesterday on Air Force One being asked about Iran and one CNN person I think was asking, "Hey, do you think Iran takes your threat seriously?" C can you imagine if somebody says to Jon Jones, "Hey, do you think the opponents still fear you if they fight you? The guy's undefeated. Hey, hey, Kabib, do you think people still fear you that President Trump, do you think Iran's taking your threat seriously? Maybe maybe they forgot you you killed Kasam Solemani. Maybe they forgot some of that stuff. Nope. They're taking the threat
seriously because of what some of the things that's going on behind closed doors. We'll talk about that. Ilhan Omar will cover that with the Meet the Press. Apparently, there's a million dollar fraud restaurant that allegedly she's linked to. Mark Ruffalo, according to USA Today, used the Ward pedophile against Trump, which means there's another lawsuit coming out here soon.
Good. The one story that's very interesting is the sonic weapons that they've been working on for 15 years, which this is apparently what they use in Venezuela. It severely incapacitates you. You don't know what's going on. You're throwing up. You're all over the place. And then they're able to come and do what they're doing and they leave. Okay, which we'll address here in a minute. Of course, with everything that's going on with Iran, we'll talk about the fog of war. Tesla Roadster is coming out with something that uh apparently some people are saying it can fly. you can put a $5,000 deposit right now to buy one. Trump wants $100 billion from oil companies. One of the guys said, "Listen, it's just Venezuela is too unstable and uninvestable right now." And then there's this debate with the Grock nudity pictures, which Vinnie's testing out a lot. Vinnie's testing out a lot of these with himself
in the back. Him and Humber are showing me a picture of Vinnie on Grock. Send me the one by myself
posting it. Maybe send it to Rob. Send it to Rob. Just me by myself. Send a picture. just do it himself, not her. And I'm like, should this be there or should they not be there? I think Kier Starmer is trying to do Sue Kier. Oh,
maybe because of pictures they don't look at when they did it with him. Who knows? We'll talk about it. heavy heavy debate happened backstage when we were talking about what would happen if a friend of yours 63 years old very wealthy wears nice suits say he's extremely smart say he you know makes you better like he you know leaves you better than he found you I'm just kind of making stuff up here like this person is extreme he does a podcast anywhere you're at okay you could be in a church it's quiet he can start a podcast next to you and everyone one's being disrupted. Say this man comes and is now dating a new girl. At what age would you judge him if he was 63 years old?
Oo, is this an interesting topic we're going to go to later on. He just got all excited about it.
Uh Sergey Brinn is also leaving uh uh what do you call it? U California for another place. He may be following his buddy to uh uh Florida. Colombia's pro to visit White House in February. Trump has talked about capping credit card rates. Some people are not happy about it. Bill Aman called them out. Bill Aman blast Trump on the limit to uh to to limit the credit cards interest rates for one year. Says it's a mistake. Uh we don't want to be Americans says Greenland political parties they want to stay you know whatever they are. They definitely don't want to be Americans what they're saying but unfortunately that's not how life works. Greenland party say people want independence from Denmark and from the US. the signal chat where Silicon Valley is plotting against California's billionaire tax. Then there's, of course, we have to talk about the ICE protesting that's taking place.
Vinnie wants to talk about what uh two coaches, Steve Kerr and Doc River said, ripping the uh ICE agents a new one. They were not happy about it, calling them racist. Steve Crow had a lot of things to say about it. Stephen A. Smith responded to it. Jasmine Crockett responded to Stephen A. So did Don Lemon. Just a bunch of things that's going on over here. Stephen A. Ripped Keith Oman talking about the fact that he's walking around with a cane. Asking if that cane is real. Like, is that a real cane you're walking around with?
Anyway, just a lot of stuff. Iran kill switch to hide alleged crimes as death toll rises amid protests. I spoke to a few people this weekend in Iran from Iran and some are saying the number now is at around 4,000. And that is Saturday morning when I shot the video. The death toll is not looking good for Iranians. It's a travesty what's taking place and the president looks like they're moving very it and yesterday Lindsey Graham is giving a speech at this event. I don't know if you guys saw this clip or not. In the middle of the speech he says I may need to step away because at any point we may be having to take action against Iran.
Um anyway, so that's that. And then we got a few other stories that we'll get into. the uh Dear Abby, do you have that Dear Abby clip, Rob from CNN where she says, "Well, why is it when President Obama deported 3 million people, we never saw this stuff on the news?" It's like, uh, why do you think because you didn't cover it?
Do you understand what she's saying that we deported 3 million and it was so peaceful people agreed to leave to a different place? Anyways,
let me tell you what's going on and who the real MVP in America is the last four weeks, the last three weeks. You know who the real MVP in America is? that unfortunately they will not get the credit. They will not be talked about. You will not don't know their names. You will not be able to give to their GoFundMe. You will not be able to do anything with those guys. You know who the real MVP the last few weeks has been in America? The Delta Force.
The Delta Force. When I was in the army, I asked my orders to be I was going to go be 18 Delta fifth group. I did all my interviews. I got my orders. I was going to reinlist six years. go to DLI, go to Seir School, go to, you know, airborne, go to, uh, uh, uh, special forces, and then I was going to go straight to Venza, Italy to be in our area. My friend ends up getting the orders. He ends up becoming Delta. The stuff you're hearing about on how they're going in in Venezuela and how they got him, the reports that are coming out, unreal. And by the way, you know who's watching that very quickly? Kame and Iran better be watching very closely because our Delta force is really strong. If they want to do something, they could get a lot of stuff done. So, guess what is back? You know these USA hats that we had? These beautiful USA hats with the future looks bright on the side and the future looks
bright on the bottom. These sell out within seconds when we launch these. If you haven't pick one of these up, you love America. There's never been a more important time, especially 250 year anniversary to go wear this. This is the USA n the USA on the front, American flag on the side, future looks bright on the back, and then you got future looks bright here. You can go back on this uh link, Rob, if you can put it below. We also have the shirts to go with it. Go back on that uh page as well. It's uh right there if you go. There's the shirts to go with it. There's the different kind of hats for women, for men. Go a little bit lower if you could, Rob. But if you haven't yet ordered one of these USA hats, buy one for yourself, for a friend, for a family member who loves America. Anybody who wears this with the USA being lifted, they love these hats. one of the fan favorites that we have. Click on a link below,
order a few, give it away to your friends, colleagues, and employees. Having said that, let's get right into it. What story should we start off with? Um Rob, why don't we start off with the president yesterday on Air Force One? Yesterday, the president is on Air Force One and you know his typical where he stands between the two areas and he's doing his interviews. He's being asked all these different questions and it's four of them that I want to go through. One of them, Rob, if you want to start off with, you can talk about the talking uh do you think Iran's taking your threats seriously? Can you imagine talking to a guy that previously took out their number two guy in Iran, Gasam Solmani, and a reporter has the audacity to ask you if Iran's taking your threat seriously? Go ahead, Robert.
Threat seriously. I think so. Don't you think so, CNN? Don't you think so? Wouldn't you say that they probably do at this point
after going through it for years with me being hit Solomi Albaghdaddy the Iran nuclear threat wiped out don't you think and then you just had Venezuela don't you think she says CNN do you think they take your threat seriously wouldn't you say they do after all of the things we've done what a stupid question
how do you ask a question like that Like what? What? Can you do me a favor? Be the other side.
Okay. Like play the other side. Be a liberal. Be a person right now. Do I have to do I have to color my hair? Honestly, make the argument for a person that has this reputation to say who just went and took out Maduro. Okay. Who just went and he told him I'm going to do this to you. Who just went and took out, you know, the stuff that he's done. How make the argument why that's a good question to ask.
I don't know if I can make the argument, but I can make the description. The liberals and the mainstream media, they don't take him seriously. They do not take Trump seriously. They use all sorts of words to describe him.
You think they still don't take him seriously? Huh? You think the liberal media still doesn't take him seriously?
No, I do not think CNN takes him seriously at all. Because the only way you are able to ask that question is if you are a deliluded and not paying attention, not paying attention to all those facts that he put out, all those facts. or you just believe in your heart that he is is incapable, shouldn't have been there, the election should have gone the other way. You just believe that denial is an incredibly powerful drug.
But I but again, this is CNN, Tommy. First of all, I would never even allow them on my airplane. Number one,
well, there's a door they could step out. No, I get it. But but number two, it's it's Tom. They they're not stupid. They know they take him serious, but anything to make him look weaker. Anything to make him look non-presidential or like I said ve like weak or fragile, but he bro he has the receipts. He's going in. He's doing surgical stuff to to to take out these people. CNN, at the end of the day, Tom, they're not stupid. They know exactly what they're doing. They And here's my question, though. Who where do these questions come from? I don't think the reporters get to just go willy-nilly like how we are here with our stories and stuff like that. Who's given them the okay to say, "Okay, go in there and ask him this question." producer in their ear.
Exactly. So, it's coming from It's coming from headquarters CNN. Okay. Undermine the president, make him look weak, but guess what? You're messing with the freaking lion. Like, he's going to give a damn.
It's only validating him, by the way. Rob, play the next clip. Rob, play the next clip.
There seem to be some people killed that aren't supposed to be killed. Violent.
If you call them leaders, I don't know if they're leaders or just they they rule through violence. But we're looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it and uh we're looking at some very strong options. We'll make a determination. Some of the protesters were killed through the stampeding. I mean, you know, there's so many of them and some were shot. Are we getting a full report? I'm getting an hourly report and we're going to make a determination.
By the way, the numbers right now is 11,000 protesters have been arrested. Okay. The number they're reporting is 500 over 500 killed. that's now being reported
by mainstream media. People on the streets are saying the numbers around 4,000 if not even higher. And while this is taking place, probably the biggest thing in Iran that the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about is the following. Can you ask Chad GBT and just to see what reports come up? Do you know how many mosques in Iran have been burned down? Do you know how many mosques they're burning down? Iranians.
And why? Well, because what they're saying is they're saying, "We're Persian, but we're not Islamist."
Wow. They're burning down mosques because they're done with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Do you know what is one of the biggest countries of losing, guys? Can you turn off that ringtone on your phone? Do you know what is one of the biggest countries that's losing converts from Islam to Christianity? You know what it is? Iran's at the top of the list.
People are leaving. They're leaving and they're saying, "I want a different life in Iran." FYI, the internet now, which Tom, I'm going to go to the story and I'm coming straight to you.
In Iran, the story you hear about is the kill switch. Iran flips the kill switch to height alleged crimes as death toll rises amid protests. Okay, so the the the kill switch is what? The internet. Okay, and electricity. The Iranian regime triggered an internet kill switch in an apparent effort to hide alleged abuse by security forces. And as protests against it surged nationwide, a cyber security expert has claimed the blackout slashed internet access to a fraction of normal levels on the 13th day of the protest as rights groups including amnesty uh international accused the regime of using lethal forces against protesters. This is Iran's war against its own population using digital means. Okay. Netblocks co Alto Toker told Fox News digital this was a peacemeal measure that eventually in uh income uh uh encompass the entire country with the government willing to use this kind of measure for an extended
period of time. There would be an empty attempt by the regime to cover up the crimes that it may have committed. So this blackout could potentially last for days if not for weeks. This group also reported that more than 2,300 people have been arrested and that demonstrations have spread to at least 180 cities nationwide. Most of those killed were protesters. Here's the group. Tom, thoughts
in in the history of dictators that have been overrun, people going back to Pulp Pot in Vietnam uh after the uh Pulpot Cambodia, Vietnam, the killing fields, turning off the media is the tool of the aggressor and and and isolating the people from uh communication is the tool of the aggressor. We have seen it in other failed states. We saw it in Uganda turning off phones under Ediamin. There were so many things that that that people do to turn off the communications. And the reason they're turning this off, you you were on Fox on Sunday, Pat, Sunday morning, and you talked about it. Uh that there are people out there, credible people that are had Starlink and other resources that are saying the number is higher.
Look, what does the regime want? The regime wants to put the number lower. They want the the world to say, "Hey, there were some protests. There have been some people here, but it's not a lot. we're letting them protest. They they have their say, but that's it. However, the protesters are saying, "No, that's not true." In certain areas, they they are committing they're committing atrocities. They're committing slaughter, and the number is much higher. If you if the number is high and it gets out to the Western media, guess who responds? DJT47 already said, "You be careful. If you exercise undue force and you start killing these protesters, I will the US stands ready to help, the USA stands ready to help was the quote. And so they can't have big numbers come out because the big guy is going to show up because we see this as a protest of the people who are lawfully assembling in the streets and are just tired of the the
dark side of it. You you you know who the internet is hurting the most? You know who the internet electricity is? The regime.
The internet is destroying the regime because they need to make money. So, guess what? I don't think it's going to be weeks.
I think they have to uh uh uh open it up here soon. And if they do or they don't, think about it from this standpoint. Imagine President Trump and his team. What do you think they're telling them? What What do you think that call sounds like? Because he's saying, Rob, I don't know if you have the clip that says they're talking they want to renegotiate. They do you have that one that uh you know they have reached out to us they're negotiating with us they want they changed the subject and said that you have that
yeah they said we're willing to talk about a nuclear deal and other things why are you changing the subject why do you want to talk about a nuclear deal change the subject really you got some problems there regime
is this it Rob go play this watch this folks from Iran to engage diplomatically with you or perhaps negotiate on nuclear program
with with Iran yeah do you think they want to engage diplomatically watch this they called.
They called you. Is it option? Is it still an option? Iran called to negotiate yesterday. They called
yesterday. The leaders of Iran called. They want to negotiate. I think they're tired of being beat up by the United States.
Iran wants to negotiate. Yes. Negotiate. We may meet with them. I mean, it's a meeting is being set up,
but we may have to act because of what's happening before the meeting. But a meeting is being set up. Iran called. They want to negotiate. Thank you very much.
Okay. So, so when you and Adam, I'm going to come to you right now. So, when you think about that,
here's what it comes down to. What do you think if the president is speaking to them? The the the best thing about what we have right now is the following. We want to buy this property. Okay. Guy comes to me, makes a massive offer for this property. Okay? And it's 2x what I bought it for. Why? He's trying to buy everything down here, the investor, because he wants to tear this place down and build highrises and units. Okay. Now, luckily, I own it. So, if I don't want to do it because, you know, where I live. Okay. So, it could be, but if somebody wants to come buy this, what are they going to look at? Comps,
of course. Okay. What are the comps next door? Bigger lot, newer property, sold for 4.8 million. Okay. This is worth whatever 4.4 million, right? Hey, the guy next door just sold for 7.8 million. smaller lot, older property. This is worth 8.2 million. What is the best comp that Iranians have right now to know exactly at least to get an idea of what the president is capable of doing? What is the best comp to Iran that we have right now? Venezuela. Okay. So, what did what did they call and give Maduro as an option?
Turn yourself. What was the turn yourself in with your wife and leave? They gave him the heads up. Did they give him that option?
Okay. So, what did he do? Several times. He chose to ignore them and get DOUBLE DOWN. COME FOR ME.
But guess what though? Because to him, he didn't want to lose face to walk out. Okay. He wanted to what? Come get me. By the way, in a way,
respect to be honest with you. Respect. Come get me. All right. Do you think there's a likelihood that they've given given that option to the Iranian regime as well? Probably.
You think they have? Okay. That's probably one. Number two, what do you think the Iranian lead leaders are going to say? Do you think they're going to turn themselves in?
Absolutely not. No chance whatso. No chance. Okay. So, different mindset. Different mindset. Remember when I asked the president about the Iran situation and I said, "What do you do with Iran and what do you do with this?" He says, "Your mind has to be what?" Remember what he the word he used?
It was a swivel. He says, "You have to be ready to go any direction. It could be good for this. It could be different for this." Rob, do you remember that conversation when I was asking him if you can pull it up flexible? It was a different word that he used. So, but it's flexible is what it means
to me. That's one option. What are the other options? Send Delta. What are the other options? Attack. What are the other options there? There's there. So, think about it when you're watching this and he's saying we're talking to them,
but we may not have to wait till the negotiation takes place because we may need to. He pauses was about to use a different word and he says act right. What do you think is going on here Adam?
So for me the signal through all the noise is that Iran has been humiliated in the last two years. You know they've been a paper tiger and they've been exposed the 12-day war in Israel. Israel won matterof factly. Israel took away all their proxies in two years. All that money they invested in all their proxies. uh Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, all gone, done, dissipated. Number two, all the money they've spent on the nuclear program. US Trump comes in, boom, B-52 bombers, whatever they were, stealth, whatever you want to call it, it's gone. So, they've been exposed and humiliated. So, it's kind of like the guy that's like, "Oh, yeah, BRO. YOU WANT TO GO? YEAH, meet me outside, dude.
Whatever you say, let's go." and you go outside with him and you knock him out and now he's like, "Yeah, yeah, you want to go around too?" And then you knock him out again. And at what point are like, "Are your words just going to be completely hollow?" How many speeches have we seen the Ayatollah say, "The enemies will bow on their knees. Nobody's scared of you, buddy."
Yeah. Yeah. Everyone's clowning you at this point. You're an 85year-old man that that absolutely nobody fears, especially your enemies. Here's the the biggest thing that I can tell you. Uh this mo this weekend I was watching movies and uh I happened to watch uh with my girl this movie called uh Sleeping with the Enemy. You ever see this movie?
Old school. Julia Roberts. She falls in love with this abusive control freak. There's a story here about Iran. And there's three phases of an abusive relationship. Number one, there's attachment. Love, emotion. You're not thinking clearly. You're ignoring logic. I don't know. There's something about him I love. Number two, uh, entrament. He's got you now. Control. You're under his wings. You have to basically deviate your life. You're telling your friends certain things. You know, you recognize there's issues. He's controlling everything. All of a sudden, you realize this isn't what I signed up for. And then number three, eventually there's liberation. You're going to get caught. You're going to get beat. Just like the people of Iran are going to jail. How many people are losing their lives? Let's not let these people die in vain and eventually she gets free and eventually the story book
ending with the people of Iran of great Persia, they will eventually be free. Vinnie,
you you know and I know you guys you guys know me. I've said this how many times. I'm not one of these like people that just wants to America cuz I hate that we I hate that we were put in we were put in the position of being the world's police and I you know Iraq I don't know how many times I have to tell you guys I don't want us poking our noses in other people's business if we don't have to there is something happening in the world right now. It's like a global awakening with Venezuela. It's happening with Iran. It's happening. It's starting to spread. And and by the way, this only comes, Pat, when you have an actual leader and the left, I don't listen to all that noise.
I love that you said signal versus noise again, Adam. I don't care about the noise. I don't care what the Chener, whatever his name is. I don't care what the Harry Sist say. These people are allergic to real leadership. You have a boss that's in there that's not playing games. He's not going to let China. And by the way, this weekend, uh, China, Russia, and Iran were playing navy games, Pat. They're all teaming up and they want to show their force. But you have a boss that's in there right now that's not going to let our enemies I don't I don't like this word adversaries. You're not going to get close to us. You're not going to be setting up shop in Venezuela. And with Iran, I'm sorry. It's the people. I don't give a damn what anybody in the left says, Patrick. The people are fighting and they're dying for what they believe in. Okay? They're fighting and good for them and God bless them. And I
love that the fact that you said that Christianity is on the rise. I know I said it last week where I'm like maybe they need a Christian leader. Maybe they need something completely different cuz if they go back to the old school and put another Kmenian that's Islamist and all this then then all this work is for nothing. And Pat said something this weekend Pat that hit me on Fox and Friends. Pat said look at how God is lining up everything. If you look at the signs Donald Trump is a 47th president. IT'S TAKEN THEM 47 YEARS and they're doing this and guess how old this guy is who's from Iran. 47 years old. It's as if everything is lining up to do it. And it gives me hope. It's hope. And maybe Tom, this spreads to like a North Korea where these people are under a dictator path. I think it's an amazing thing. And I think what the president is doing is freaking awesome. And I'm with them 100%. Period.
I I I'm I'm with you. And I think there's some things there that the American people are starting to understand that the American media is ignoring because they American media sees Islam as a race. Yes. And they say them Arabs, Arabic people from the Middle East are Islam and all Islam is Arabic, right? They have this this weird thing because they want to put everything in a race box so that they have a victim box and then in the victim box they have an advocacy, right? Because that's the way that they that they manage and manipulate voting groups. And that's the way Minnesota Whoops. found out that the little pitbull they adopted and all the Somali has grown up and oh my gosh, it's quite a dog now. But the mainstream media doesn't understand the history of Iran.
They are Persians and they are rebelling against what they see as the violent Islamic the IRC. Pat was trying to talk about it on Fox. I wish his segment had another five minutes because he could have laid it out because Pat's an expert on Iran and I was listening to this and I'm like they don't get it. They're trying to put all of these repressed people, you know, and all these people that are protesting, they're trying to put them in a box, but whoops, they're fighting for freedom. Whoop, that's against narrative. They're fighting against totalitarian and control. Oh, against control. They don't want to be manipulated by the government. Whoops.
So the American mainstream media doesn't know what box to put in these people that want their freedom in Iran and they it doesn't fit into the race, you know, a culture victim box where they want to put everybody in a label and so they don't cover it and they're not covering the whole thing. They're actually covering for the regime. Who is the sympathizer for totalitarian fascism now?
Yeah, the US mainstream media. Ask you a question. So I was doing some research. Maybe you can validate this. It says I said what percentage of the Iranian people are pro- regime against the regime and then neutral. Right? According to these records about 70 to 75% are against the regime.
Weird. Pro is about 10 to 15% and neutral 10 to 15%. Any way you want to cut it.
That sounds about right. Some would say higher against, but I think that's a reasonable number. There was a research that was done that I think the number I remember is you know 80% what is that showing Rob%
Iranians support democracy 89% okay yeah that's why I said some people would say the numbers higher
can I ask you another followup okay so we're agreement on these numbers yes so you're Christian proudly Christian
yes you know what a lot of Americans don't understand is there's two major sects of Islam there's Sunni and Shia correct Shia Shiites is predom predomminantly based in Iran and I think the vast majority of the population is Shia Muslim. As a Christian, what was life like for a Christian prior to 1979 before the Islamic Revolution? And you know, you're talking about bringing a Christian as a leader, I don't know how that would work. I assume they would want a Shiite leader. I don't know. Walk me through the religious component in Iran now.
Pre what it was before? Oh, nobody cared. Thank you. You were like, nobody cared what you were. Nobody cared what you were. I mean, and even uh you know, Muhammad Sha Palabi himself wasn't the most religious guy.
He was Muslim though. He was Shia Muslim. He was Shia Muslim, but it's not what you have today and not what you're experiencing.
An extremist. Not at all. People walked around regular, comfortable. Woman had rights. Woman had power. No 9year-old marrying a 52-y old man. That kind of stuff was illegal under the Shaw. He brought education in. And he done he did an amazing job. And the criticism they'll typically give him, they'll bring up Savak. They say, "What about his secret police? What about a secret police called Savvak?" Well, what about CIA? What about MI6? What about Msad? What do you think you need to do if you're building a country to have an empire?
You need to have people that are kind of giving you intel on what is taking place. And then post not not even the same. You couldn't walk around Christianity openly wearing a cross out. It it was not the same thing. postmen. It was a complete different world postmeni. But but let me kind of bring you to today on what what is the difference between now than before? Here's the difference between now and before then if you think about do you think Muhammad Resa independently came in and replaced Mosad or do you think somebody intervened?
Do you think the CIA the MI6 intervened to bring a Muhammad Al Sha Palabi to be the king of Iran or you think he did an independent likely intervention from what we understand? I would say 95% of course there's intervention. What did Mosad want to do with the oil? He wanted to make a nationaliz like what he did in Venezuela.
Okay. So, of course, and you told me about a treaty of 1954 1954 consortium oil agreement consortium. It was almost like a constitution
and it was a 25-year contract that they signed. But but here here's the thing with that. So think about it. Think about this intervention. They brought in the Sha. The Sha was a dealmaker. He did deals so oil companies were happy. You know, similar to you know what happened afterwards. Then when he became too powerful, he was talking about maybe raising prices. In an interview with Mike Wallace, he says, "Why are you raising prices on oil?" Can you pull up this clip? They're asking him, "Why are you raising prices on oil?" He says, "Why am I raising prices on oil?" He says, "Yes." He says, "Why are they raising prices on corn? Why are they raising prices on everything? You think what I'm buying right now is the same prices? They're raising price on everything with me. What am I supposed to do? Sit there and take all the increases on my my end?" But then they pay the same price for oil. No. I have a
product you want. And by the way, I agree with them as a businessman. So imagine you sell lumber. I sell sheets. I sell whatever cement supply that you want and I'm coming to you. You raise the prices on me 80% not because the market's gone up 80%. You just choose to raise prices by 80%. But you expect me to charge you same price for oil?
What do you think that the guy What do you think the person's going to do? Are you out of your mind? No.
The moment, now here's the part. The moment they realized he was about to strongarm other people with oil, that's when they said, "We got to get rid of this guy."
And then they thought Kumeni was going to be better than him. And then Carter, who you could say was a non-interventionist. So let me explain to you how this works. Intervened.
Responses in the Middle East is peaceful. Jimmy Carter non-interveni comes in weird.
So this debate between intervention and non-intervention, you know what it ends up being? Here's a part. It is never uh uh fluid. That's the word the president used. We are fluid when it comes down to decision-m. There is situations that you shouldn't intervene and there are situations that you should intervene. By the way, what percentage of the time do you think you shouldn't intervene?
What percent should not intervene? 90% of the time I think 95% of the time stay out of it unless you absolutely have
95% of the time you should not intervene. Yeah, I fully agree. Now watch if if say Iran falls, Kmeni falls, somebody else goes in this place and the place is peaceful.
Do you think we have the war with Afghan? Do you think we have uh what happened with weapons of do you think we have all this stuff that's going to be taking place? Probably not. Do you think it's going to be the same issues that is taking place with all these other places in the Middle East? Who does that benefit? So that that's the part that that is going on right now. And now bring it to today. Last 47 years. What is the biggest difference between the last 47 years and today? One thing, last 47 years, the IRGC's been their control.
Last 47 years, Kumeni Kame 47 years they've had control, right? Last 47 years, the number one draft pick to go back to Iran to help Iran be free again is who? Resza Palvy, who I've been very critical of, and I'm gonna continue to criticize this guy. Even though I'm seeing play offense right now, which is good. I like what he's doing. He is playing offense. 47 years, he has been a number one candidate. So for 47 years, if it benefited him to say good things about Biden, he did. If it benefited him to say good things about Obama, he did.
If it benefited him to say good things about Bush, he did. Now he's on TV saying, "Well, under Biden and Obama, this would never happen, but under Trump." And now he's pleading to Trump. Which, by the way, it's better late. It's better late than never. At least you're doing it, which is good. So, the only difference is what? President Trump today is the guy finally with enough of the pressure. This is this is one of the issues that you have to realize that happens in the Iranian community, which it becomes cultlike.
Yes. Let me explain. Some of Reza Palavi's supporters, you know who they sound like? Let me tell you who they sound like. There was this guy that reacted and they said a couple things in a video. I got 50 videos sent my way. Couple of the guys, I mean, it's Listen, it's being sent to me my way. It's non-stop. Let me tell you
who got those videos. You know who got those videos on 2015, 2016? A guy named President Trump. Who did he get it from? People that were rhinos. people that were Republican traditional rhinos who were always it's the Carl Rove way. It's the Bush way. That's the you have to come get through me. And Trump's like, I don't need to get through you. Who the hell are you? I don't need your approval to go through RNC. I'm sorry. I made my own money. I don't need your help. You go begging people for money. I don't go around begging people for money. I'm my own man. Trump made it clear he's man. And then you realize there's a cult on the Republican side with Rhino.
There's a cult on the Democratic side. God forbid if you oppose Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side. You know who this is happening to on the Democratic side right now? Stephen A. Smith. Look what they're doing. God forbid you call out the black Democrats, which he's doing. What is happening to him? You're an Uncle Tom. You're a this. Michelle Obama's calling him out. Don Lemon called him out. Crockett called him out. All this weekend they're calling him out. Right. So, I think a little bit of pressure he's never had. He's never had an opponent. So, he finally has some pressure. However,
his last seven tweets, his last seven tweets, I don't know how many of them are directed to Trump,
Stephen A. Smith, which by the way, I love it. Good. Good for him because you know what he's starting to realize?
You can't do it by yourself. No. Uh some Iranians who criticize, they're like, just leave us alone. We can do this. We don't need anybody's help. No. No. You need Trump's help.
Period. Oh my. You need Trump's help. Stop acting like you don't need anybody's help. You definitely need Trump's help to go out there and pull this off. You need America's help without America and any of this stuff. It hasn't happened. I wish Resa Palvi would have met with the president 10 years ago, 11 years ago, eight years ago, seven years ago, six years ago, 5 years ago, four years ago, three years ago, two years ago, one year ago. I hope he would have reached out.
Yeah. But he hasn't. But I will tell you it's better late than never if they if he approaches to play a game. By the way, this whole thing that they're doing as well, I'm convinced a big part why and Iran has shut down the internet. I'm also convinced they don't want to see the videos that are going viral here directing them what to do. I'm convinced they don't want to see that either. So the biggest difference on why I believe if I rank it here, I'm ranking the most important people that are helping this regime take place if it becomes free again. Number one, who's a number one group of people that are helping this happen? The Iranian people in Iran,
they're number one. Without them, nothing else matters. They're number one. You know who's a number two person
that is helping this revolution possibly happen? It's the guy in the White House. You know who's number three? Most likely Delta Force. You know who's number four? I have Resa Pal as number four. He's playing a role now this last week, these last two weeks. And then number five is the pressure to hurry up and go, urgency to get it done. So yes, but the biggest factor after the people is Trump. We've never had a guy like Trump that is getting behind it. The Iranian people are so glad
that he's out there putting the threat because these people in Iran are starting to feel the fear that something could possibly happen. There's a few places if they were going to attack that I would uh uh you know encourage them to be thinking about, but that's a whole different story. Anyways, uh uh uh uh Vinnie, your thoughts?
Uh I mean, like you said, step up and the urgency. It's like like you have this opportunity and I saw some of those videos of just angry Persian men wearing sunglasses in a car yelling in a hot ass car IN CALIFORNIA. OH, WE DON'T NEED YOU AND STAY OUT 47 YEARS. WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING? BITING YOUR TIME. OKAY, the time is now. People are trying to get involved for them to go after you. It's as if you're not from there. As if you didn't have to flee and go to a freaking uh refugee camp with your family. All the stuff that comes with it. all the trauma, all the everything to and by the way, and I get it. It comes with the territory, Pat. You're going to open your mouth. You care about the people AS IF YOU HAVE SOME investment that you give a damn about.
Your investment is the people. Your investment is Iran. Your investment is to be able to go ON AN AIRPLANE, FLY WHERE YOU WERE BORN, AND NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTING YOUR HEAD chopped off because of stuff that you said about the freaking people that are in charge.
By the way, even the guy the the the the one guy called him the angry little elf. Even that guy
Yeah. that was upset saying what he was saying. Yeah. Sweating in his car for no reason.
You know what I will tell you? I understand emotions. You know why? This is a very sensitive time.
For sure. This is something that's important to you. Yes. Your entire life you've been waiting for this. You've dedicated your life to this.
Intensity is so high. Emotions are so high. The during the fog of war, Homeberto was saying this in the back. You you know the whole concept of fog of war. What does fog of war mean?
There's so much happening. you like things that are said are misconstrued, bombings are happening, people are dying. It's so much is happening
and speed. The situation is changing with great speed and you're only getting partial information or you're getting obstructed information,
confusion caused by the chaos of war or battle. So much is happening with Iran right now. We are in the fog of war.
Yes. And there are the people that have their own strong opinions and their loyalty. The people that no matter what Raza Pal does that he's never going to get their support. Yes.
They're not supporters of him because they're like, "You've took everybody's money. You've never had a job in your life." You call yourself a fighter pilot, but you've never been to war before. That's like saying, "I'm a boxer, but I've never been in a ring before." You think very highly of yourself. You've lived in America for 47, 48 years. Even you left before the war happened, the revolution happened in Iran. You have no place for this. that he's never going to win these guys over.
Then there's the guys over here that no matter what it's going to be what he can't do anything wrong in their eyes.
And then you have the different political factions in Iran that are doing their thing. Then you have the outside who could care less about Iran? Somebody that's living in America that's like, I'm America first, non-interventionist. Who gives a [ __ ] what's going on in Iran? That's the community as well. Then you got mainstream media that wants to report based on what they're being told. Then you got the small group of people in the 20% that are in the middle saying, "Honestly, what the hell is going on?
Who do I trust? Who do I believe? They said that guy's part of this. They said this guy's part of that." The other day like, "Oh, Patrick's part of Mojahedin." Mojid is Makk. Who are, you know, Islamist communist Marxist like you know. But here's a part though. Even if 5% believes it, that's part of the fog of war. I am not worried about the fog of war. If we go right now the way we're going, the amount of pressure that's on Iran, on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, something's going to break. Something's going to break. My long-term concern is a complete different thing, but I think you got
I just want to ask you one question. Yeah. This whole concept of intervention or isolationism, right? I see people coming from Iran. We don't need anybody's help. WE NEED TO DO THIS OURSELVES. This is all us. And I'm like, "Okay, no help. We just don't We don't want America intervening.
Israel, stay out of this." Okay. So, I was watching movies this weekend. I actually watched your favorite movie, my cousin Vinnie, and there's a scene where, you know, she's like, "My biological clock is ticking like this." The reason that they're arguing is he's saying, "Stay out of my life. I don't need your help." Are
you picking these movies or is she picking these movies? Because she's picking these movies at this point. She's picking one. She's very strategic.
She's picking one where the guy's abusive. The other weekend in Miami, you're watching with the enemy. It's like,
exactly. This is what happens when you're in a relationship. You got to watch movies.
I'm worried about this one. So, he says, "Stay out of it. We'll get married when I win my first case." Yeah. And she's like, "I'm watching you lose left and right." And she goes, "Imagine mi this. You go around solving all these cases, winning all these cases, and God forbid, people help you along the way. Oh my god."
Yeah. Why are they so opposed to outside pressure, outside forces, helping them get their freedom?
I think that's a very small percentage. I think I think I think that's a very small percentage of people that are saying this. You know, uh uh I have one basic rule. Call me out, but if you're respectful, I'll respond.
One of the guys made a video, called me out. But he was so respectful, he DMs me respectfully. I respond back to him. It's one of the videos that went viral, by the way. I said, "Hey,
I don't know who you are, but you seem very respectful. I'll tell you exactly what I told him in this in this message. I said, uh uh I I don't know who you are, but I respect your approach." I said, "I wish." Matter of fact, I want you to read this and I'm going to show you the guy's face so when you respond, people know who your uh Oh, man. I gotta find this. He sends this message. If I can really get to this message, guys. The reason why I probably won't be able to get to the message
cuz I got 10,000 messages this big. Let me tell you what I mean by that. What I mean by that, guys, this was a very rough weekend for Iran. Yeah.
Rough and emotional weekend for Iran. So, I understand the emotions are very high.
This guy sends me the message and I respond back to him. Read it. Yeah. I mean, you see all these videos.
Uh uh. You see the videos in the middle with him. Okay. So, now I want you to go and see my message.
Okay. To what he said. What did I say in the message to him all the way in the bottom? The red. Yeah. Perfect.
Should I say his name or no? No. No. No. Not his name. Just read it. Hey, I don't know who know you, but you sound respectful. I hope RP pulls this off. I wish you nothing but the very best. Thank you for your service.
Beautiful. So, let me tell you what I mean by this. I get the emotions. I get it. I've been in fights. I've been in, you know, when I'm building a company and I put all my money into it and I'm
vested like my entire life savings is tied to the company. It's emotional. This is very emotional to the Iranian people. But I'm going to bring you to the Americans who are not for intervening. I also understand their argument. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you why.
So, how many projects can you manage at the same time effectively? Three. Okay.
Most people. Now, now go to the best of the best of the best. 10. How many projects can they manage effectively?
I mean, okay. Elon Musk, how many companies he have? Tom put five. Okay, Marco Rubio, how many projects can he manage effectively himself?
Tough. I mean, more than 35 it have good generals in place. So, let me get to the next story to see where I'm going with this. So, the president's being asked about Venezuela, right?
Mhm. He's being asked by Venezuela saying, "How long is this US oversight going to last?" And Tom, I'm going to come to you. New York Times, Trump says oversight of Venezuela could last for years. So what are they gonna do? Are are they going to be managing this Iran situation and Venezuela for years? Are you automatically assuming you're winning the next election? I is that what we're thinking? Because to me, this can't be a long-term strategy. There has to be something to be taking place next. So Trump says US's oversight to Venezuela could last for years. on Wednesday evening. He expected us to be there and extracting oil from its huge reserves for years and insisted that the interim government of the country all former loyalists to the now imprisoned Aulus Mur Maduro is giving us everything that we feel is necessary.
Rob, you have the clip on this? Yes, this is actually audio of President Trump.
Go for it. Go ahead. How long do you think you'll be running Venezuela? Only time will tell.
Can you raise your hand? Months, six months, a year longer. I would say much. M and we have to rebuild. We have to rebuild the country and we will rebuild it in a very profitable way.
Okay. So Tom, your thoughts on this? So the New York Times um uh met with the president and I think they had four I think this was where they had last end of last week they had four reporters in the Oval Office and he just um you know went mono with the uh New York Times and they're trying to corner him. What they're trying to get him to say is, "Oh, we'll be out in six months." So that the New York Times can put that off to the side and six months from now say, "You said you'd be out in six months. You said this would be over." It's a gotcha question. And the president merely said, "We will rebuild it in a profitable way, profitable for us, for the investor, and good for the Venezuelan people." He's been very clear about it. And this was a broad interview of a lot of things going on in Venezuela. and he just said, "Uh, I would say much longer." Because they said 3 months, 6 months, a year longer.
He says, "I said much longer. Could that be two years? I don't know." But the president didn't want to be cornered. But the president wanted to be clear that our presence, maybe not our management, but our presence rebuilding and working with the oil companies would be longer. He's talking to the oil companies about making direct investment. And and I can talk about this. Is that okay, Pat? sure
about he's talking to oil companies and saying hey make direct investment in Venezuela they have heavy crude there's different types of pipelines different types of things we need to get let's make direct investment there and the oil company saying well I don't know if it's investable the code word for that is I want you the American I want you the president to guarantee that the American taxpayer will be you know the backup if the loans go bad like if things go go crazy so that's a little disingen by the oil companies because they invest internationally all the time. Why is Chevron the one oil company with giant investment in Venezuela? Because they thought it was investable and they've got an awful lot there and they thought it was more investable than the others did. So the the whole thing with the New York Times is they were trying to corner him, but he was making a great point about the strategy. We're going to get
oil companies to invest. That's to the benefit of the people. The oil companies will then pay for the oil they take out. That money will go to a working government and we will be there during the rebuild. You have to remember, we didn't go in there and destroy all their power plants. We didn't do all that. During the regime of Chavez and Maduro, they turned off water plants in certain cities that still have no water right now. And the population had to move. And we see how far and how wide the Venezuelans went. You went and seen there's like 2 million of them in Peru.
There's 2 million of them in Argentina. These people that were educated went to other Latin countries. So, the New York Times just was trying to corner the president. But what we saw underneath was strategic leadership about what we're going to do to get Venezuela on its feet and get it rolling forward. But it's an open project that's going to get managed at the State Department level for a little while, including cautioning Americans over the weekend. Hey, there are paramilitary groups that are still down there. You cut the head off the snake, but be careful. You may want to pull back a little bit and let it play out.
Yeah, that's right. That was a Guardian story. Here's the president, Rob, if you want to play this clip.
The plan is for them to spend, meaning our giant oil companies will be spending at least $100 billion of their money. Not the government's money. They don't need government money, but they need government protection and need government security that when they spend all this money, it's going to be there. So, they get their money back and make a very nice return. The plan is for them to spend at least $100 billion to rebuild the capacity and the infrastructure necessary. Venezuela has also agreed that the United States will immediately begin refining and selling up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan crude oil which will continue indefinitely. We're all set to do it. We have the refining capacity was actually based very much on the uh Venezuelan oil which is a heavy oil, very good oil, great oil. It's uh fantastic for certain things like asphalt roads. Best there is in the world for asphalt roads and other
things. All of the companies here today are going to be treasured partners in bringing the nation of Venezuela back to life, restoring its economy and generating great wealth for their companies and for their people and also great the individual saying it's uninvestable. So here here's the clip that went viral that was all over the place. Exxon Co says Venezuela is uninvestable right now. Go ahead, Rob.
We first got into Venezuela back in 19 1940s. Uh we've had our assets seized there twice and so you can imagine to reenter a third time uh would require some pretty significant changes from what we've historically seen here and what is currently the state. If we look at the legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela, uh today it's uninvestable.
Yeah. Today, today it's uninvestable. Yeah. And by the way, Twice seize their assets in Venezuel I'm not going to sit there and do that again. I'm going to have to think about it twice so you're ready. So they need to make sure they build infrastructure before guys like him trust to go back and do business in Venezuela.
And Trump said protection, like you said, protection's huge. And I can't get over.
Can you like seeing Trump sit there and just spit out everything that he's doing, the infrastructure, security, everything. Comparing him to the last administration, it boggles my mind the difference between a leader and somebody that was just taking orders and barely. Oh my goodness.
By the way, did you see when Rubio handed him a note? I know. Yeah. And then he says, "Oh, well, you'll you'll make a lot of money. You'll make a lot of money." Did you hear what he was saying to the people? note from Ruby and it said Chevron wants to say something. He wasn't supposed to say it out loud.
Yeah, he's great. Go ahead. All right. Thank you. You You'll make it back together. You're all going to do very well. Doing very well. Marco just gave me a note.
Go back to Chevron. They want to discuss something. Go ahead. I'm going back to Chevron. Thank you.
Slaps them here. Mark, if if Mark if you can update us on operations in the ground and with the appropriate approval in the next 12 to 18 months, g give us a little view from the ground.
You bet. You bet. So today, Chevron has 3,000 employees in Venezuela today. And over the past 5 to seven years, they've taken production from about 40,000 barrels a day to 240.
So So funny. Yeah, he is funny. But go ahead, Tom. No, but there it is. What's Chevron saying? We've got 3,000 people there. We've gone from 40,000 to 240,000. Right now, the uh cap capacity for Venezuela is 1.7 to 1.8 million barrels a day. Look, everybody wants to invest to get up to 5 million barrels a day. And in Houston and the Gulf Coast is where we've got refineries that are built for heavy oil refining. Gee, almost like the world's largest supply of heavy oil was just across the water in Venezuela. Do you think they knew that when all this was being built? Of course they did. And Chevron is there and in place. So Chevron's point that there was, hey, we've got 3,000 people on the ground.
You know who helps provide security for them? Chevron. Weird. Chevron's got private security down there and they got 3,000 people and they've been able to get up to a quarter of a million uh barrels a day out of there. So Chevron is politely saying, "Hey, with a little bit of support, we could do a lot more and we're already there." Whereas Exxon is like twice our stuff was seized. Tough to get my board to let us to go back in. We just need asurances. Look, you can see both are correct at the same time. But that's capitalism. Chevron found a way to take the risk and Exxon got robbed twice and now they're a little bit more reticent.
But guess what? The free market is there. If Chevron wants to triple what they're doing with support, guess what? It's going to happen that way. But 47 has got them all sitting around the table and him saying, "Who would like to be the ones that come in here and be part of this?" So Trump's showing the leadership.
Adam, go for So, you know, what question I'm starting to ask more often, whether it's Venezuela, whether it's what's going on in Iran, whether it's going as Russia, is how does this affect China's attempt to be the number one economy and the number one world superpower? Because all these moves are downstream of how does this affect China? And I got to give a shout out to Glenn Beck and I'll summarize what he said. He said the following. This what they did in Venezuela is the most America first thing move ever. What? Why?
Yep. Because this isn't isolationism. We're not getting intervening. This isn't intervention. This isn't we're getting involved in everything. This is complete strategy. Why? Because who buys all of Venezuela's oil? China buys up to 70 to 90%. Who does Iran sell 90% of their oil to? China. So what happens if this Venezuela no more oil to sell to China, Iran, no more oil to sell to China. They have how many billion people relying on this oil? Almost two billion people, whatever they have there. So now they can't they don't have energy. They don't have power. They they won't have AI dominance. So United States doesn't need more oil. I don't drive a car, but I see what gas prices are. They're cheaper than I've ever seen. We don't need more oil. We have a ton of oil here. We're preventing China from energizing their economy. So, yes, this on the surface doesn't seem like America first where Glenn Beck basically
says this is completely America first cuz we're preventing China from world domination.
Yeah. The the strong chokeold being put on China while this whole thing is taking place is a real thing. Uh they're they're sitting around. They had a Didn't they just have something that happened between the three of them? Tom, wasn't didn't something happen with besides?
Yeah, they were doing n they were doing Navy practice. Yeah. Show us. This is it. The three of them. Watch this. Go ahead, Rob.
Yeah. This is a Navy exercise showing how demonstrating how small they are. Tom,
with tugboats with little baby tugboats. Yeah. They're out there doing this naval exercise and you compare it to the might of the seventh fleet and you're like, "Okay, so you're saying you're aligned and you're doing this little naval exercise. Okay, that's real. Those are real ships, real bombs, real cruise missiles, real, you know, you know, uh, you know, electronic class cruisers. We get it. But come on, guys. You're doing this right now."
Y Can I say one thing? One, one extra thing. You know who you said, Pat, who did you say had the best week ever? Best month ever? Delta. You know who might have had the worst month ever? China. Do you know what will happen in China if Venezuela? Iran basically crumble. You know, everything that they're working on with bricks follow the money, right? What's going to happen with bricks doesn't h basically dissipates? You know, the the whole um petro dollar and they're trying to basically deviate from the dollar being the world's reserve currency. This is completely the worst month China's might have ever had indirectly because of Trump's decision.
But if you think about it though, let's not let's not fall asleep. It's US against China, Russia, and Iran. So let's not but by the way, cuz the last time Trump was against China and put all the trade, all the tariffs and everything, a little virus called CO just so happened to slip out and decimated the world. Now that you have three of these people, I'm not saying I'm not trying to pump fear. Let's just know though, these are who else is our ally in this situation. It's America. We're by ourselves and it's Russia, China, and Iran. And I mean, North Korea, Putin just met the other day with uh Kim Jong-un. I saw I'm coming off a plane. And
why do you say we're by ourselves? Who else is going to Who else is going to take our side that's at that magnitude? Adam, Russia, China, and Iran with a little sprinkle of North Korea. It's us.
I don't I I've actually thought about this and I'm not saying we're scared. I'm saying we have the most nukes in
America luckily has allies and we might have little issues with Canada, with the UK, with France, with Australia, but at the end of the day, like if you look at the top 10 GDPs, top 50 GDPs in the world, with the exception of three to five of them, 90% of the top countries in the world are aligned with the US. Now Trump challenges them. NATO, you're going to make you pay. What's going on with the wokeness? I get it. But at the end of the day, it's the world versus these access powers fighting for hedge.
But we're talking about two of the biggest nuclear powers on the planet. And it's Russia and it's China. Do not get it twisted though. I worked at a nuclear missile base. We got the nukes. Like you know, Arby's, we got the meat. We have the nukes. But what I'm saying is though that them playing in the water isn't like a yay little game. That's them saying, "Hey, listen. This is us. We don't like what you're doing, which I don't give it. We're still going to do what we're going to do." But that's just something to to you know,
they're responding to leaders. I got up very hungry after that comment. They are responding.
We we can move on. But they're responding to leadership and OPEC's remote member is Venezuela. It is effectively about to become under US influence and control, which means that one comes out. So drill baby drill plus Venezuela plus the Panama Canal. You know who OPEC is now?
We are. Yeah. Yeah. Let me read the story. So US use sonic weapon on Venezuelan troops. Reports shared by Levit claims. By the way, this is not like a
Caroline Levid retweeted this. Rob, I don't know if you have it or not. Do you have the clip on the bottom to play as well or No, Rob,
I don't tweet but uh this is the entire tweet. I'll zoom in. Okay. Can you zoom in please so we can read this? So this account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicholas Madur is absolutely chilling and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed. Security guard on the afternoon on the day of the operation. We didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react. So what happened next? How was the main uh uh attack?
Security guard. After those drones uh appeared, some helicopters arrived, but they were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopter, soldiers came down, but a very small number, maybe 20 men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything where we fought against before. And then the battle began. Yes, but it was a ma it was a massacre. Uh we were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed. It seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything.
And your weapons, did they help? No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something. I don't know how to describe it. It was like a very intense soundwave. Suddenly, I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.
We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground unable to move. And your comrades, did they manage to resist? Not at all. Those 20 men without a single casualty killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. So, do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans? Without a doubt, I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea that they were cap what they're capable of.
After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not going they're not to be messed with. Interviewer. And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think this situation will change in Latin America? Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this and no one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone is thinking twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela, but throughout the region. So, who retweeted this Rob?
Caroline Levit. And who is this guy that's being interviewed? Who is this person?
He's a soldier in the security guard. Okay. He's a security guard. Now, can you go to Snopes and and look at below the tweet to see if there's any GR questions? Credibility. Can we read that real quick
if you can do that because I'm trying to Do you know what this sounds like to me a little bit?
Let me what it's Let me tell you what it sounds. Respectfully, let me tell you what it sounds like. It sounds like the uh Yeah. Go right there. Tell us about the plasma fusion population. This account is gripping. Does it matter US America? What does it exist? Is this verified? Did somebody ask Grock if this is verified? Uh uh I think the press secretary has some validity, especially from the White House. Go back. Go back, Rock. I'm see if anybody tagged Grock. Uh uh no, Rob. Go back to the tweet. Yeah. See if anybody tagged Grock to respond to it.
And the reason why I'm uh uh asking this because this this sounds like I'll just say it. I mean if if you want to create a narrative to put the fear in Mexico, Iran, and everybody else, it would have been written exactly like that. It almost sounds like the u exchange between that transgender shooter with his furry boyfriend that he had where it was perfectly written out.
Watching the looking at the description there. The same thing happens to me when I watch a view. So it's
let me see this go. Is this so so let's read this. Pushes Maduro Venola dealing with absolute resolve. Delta force could radars helicopter. Yeah. This aligns with confirmed reports from sources like CSIS booking cyber command disruption of Venson communication and power while Space Force provided real-time guidance to neutralize Russian S300 and Chinese JY27A systems before they fired. This vir the viral narrative fuels regional deterrence discussions echoing Trump's Mexico warnings but draw skepticism as potential propaganda emit unverified elements like the sonic wave cause.
Okay, so do I think this technology exists? You know, we spoke to a Delta guy just this morning.
Oh, weird. And you know what he said? He says, "They've been working on this for 15 years." Oh, yeah.
And this actually exists. It's not like it doesn't exist. But do I also read this tweet in a way where it's a perfectly written foe, you know, tweet like if you want to,
you know, feron and find out. Yes, it reads that way as well. Vinnie, your thoughts on this?
Well, it's crazy. I I shot a sketch cuz I was making fun of him and Tom. It's so funny cuz I involved the view as well. This is this has been reported in 2016. Did you guys ever hear Havana syndrome, Tom?
US diplomats, intelligence officers, and military personnel and family members that were abroad overseas reported sudden neurological symptoms like head pressure dizziness vomiting ringing of the ears, cognitive issues, falling to the floor, vomiting, throwing up. And the first cases appeared in Havana, Cuba, and later reports in China, Europe, and elsewhere. So, and again, what what was it? I don't want to be that guy, but the was it what was the bomb? The guy that created the bomb where America was like, "Well, we got to test it out, so we have to drop the
uh Einstein." No, it wasn't. It wasn't Einstein. It was the bomb. Like like having a weapon and you don't get to use it.
The whatever the Where was it? Hiroshimo bomb. They're basically saying if you have it, you got to test it and you got to use it. So, what better of an opportunity where you don't want to freaking do a mass casualty? You just send this freaking beam at people and they throw up and they vomit instead of killing, you know, a bunch of people. So,
do I think the US is using hypersonic weapons to destroy our enemy? Uh, yeah, I do. Uh, why wouldn't we? I mean, Rob, you could if you could pull up what the US spends on defense every year. This is uh I'm not even sure if these are updated figures, if you have that, Rob, we spend more than the next 10 countries combined. The type of stuff that we got, the world ain't ready for. So, this random security guard in Venezuela who's throwing up, can't hear anything. Oh my god, do I think that happened to him? Yeah. I think there's going to be more stories like this. By the way, we in America today, we use things like this to dissipate crowds and get people to stop protesting and stop the chaos all the time. You ever been in a a movie theater when the fire alarm goes off?
You think you're gonna stay watching the movie? I was at a nightclub once in a Miami. Shocker. I know. These guys were fighting. People are like, "What are we gonna do?" The I'm there at the owner's table goes, "That's it. I'M PULLING THE FIRE ALARM." EVERYONE'S GET THE HELL out of here.
So, you don't have to fight people. You don't have to shoot people. Sometimes you can control all their senses and there's no fight. This is a different level we're talking about. Let me go to Tom because this was Tom's story. Tom, your thoughts.
So, I'll tell you what interesting about this. I believe this and I believe this very very because the way to judge US readiness is to read about the leaks and the information you can find on Chinese and Russian systems
and you can turn to James. James is like the Bible on this stuff gets leaked out all the time. Um China has been selling anti-stalth system called the JY27 JY27A I believe it's called if you look it up. And China has been selling that to everybody. They sold it to Pakistan of all people so they could use it in the northern provinces when they in India get into it because you know the packs in India they go to the north corner and they get into it now and then and says you want to dance. Yeah, I'll dance. And they go out there. Guess what? It was the JY27A that was being used in Venezuela all the way through and they have told the world that it's an anti-stalth radar system.
Well, why was it that no SAMs were fired? We didn't lose any aircraft. SAM, surfaceto-air missiles, and that's the ones that are crazy. Oh, there it is, Pat. There's the description here. Yep. Is a very high frequency radar. It's an active phase. Blah blah blah blah. Sold to countries including There it is. Venezuela and Pakistan designed to provide long range early warning to to against fifth generation jets like the F-22 and F-35 that both happen to be made by us that we give to uh we gave some to Saudis but we gave a lot of them to the Israelis. And so why do people want this? But guess what just happened?
What just happened? This system didn't work. We walked into Venezuela. Whether you believe every syllable of that text message, excuse me, that um tweet or not, we walked right in, shut down the radar, got in, got our guy and his wife, and left. And they shot uh uh arms fire, not missiles, SAMs, but arms fire at one um helicopter was struck, but we but we left. That mean, you know what that means? That means this didn't work. So, if the JY27A didn't work, then I say to myself, why didn't it work? because something bad prevented it from working.
So, I believe this. I believe in the sonic weapon. I also believe I believe in the weapon. What's going on here?
I believe in a weapon. But I also believe that that tweet the way it was written was really directed to two people.
Shine mom and a 100%. That's that's what I think that tweet was directed to only agree. I agree with that.
And you got to give Well, you have to give the United States fact creativity if it is real, which I do believe it's real. Did you guys know that like this isn't the first time in the 90s the United States Air Force and Rob you can look this up was working on a gay bomb and I'm not full stop I'm not trying to be funny no it's a psycholog a psychochemical weapon that would like induce mutual like sexual attraction I'm not even being funny they worked on a gay bomb could you IMAGINE THAT LIKE WE'RE GOING TO KILL EVERYBODY AND THE BOMB GOES OFF AND YOU'RE like you know what I didn't
but first let's have a mirror something about your new haircut video you look very good your beard
something about your face I want Like America's like, "We don't want to kill you, but we'll make you gay."
One more. By the way, HOW DO WE know that didn't already take place in cities like that in San Francisco and New York?
It seems kind of gay on me. They probably were testing it there and it leaked. But anyway, just giving you guys a heads up that we we test everything. So,
yeah. By the way, have you guys seen this young boy preacher guy? Oh, Rob, have you seen this?
I'm going to send it to you. It just played for the first 20. You said this gay bomb. It just kind of made me think about this. He's a young Adam. I guarantee you're going to laugh. He's a preacher. Pat, what do you think? From Georgia. I don't know if he's from Georgia. Not. No. No.
He's probably from Mon Georgia. Kind of like Art Williams. He speaks like Art. Mon Georgia. Just do it.
Just do. He's like, by the way, you have This is Maybe Jake, you're going to laugh. Jake, did you show this to me? This is hilarious.
This is Oh, this kid is a real deal. He's in church. Listen. Watch this. Adam, you say that you're a Christian, right? Say that you're a Christian. I want you to listen to me good. You say you're a Christian, but you gay.
BUT YOU GAY. YOU MARRIED A WOMAN. You married a man, BUT YOU SAY YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN.
WAIT A MINUTE. That don't add up. I MEAN, GO GO READ LEVITICUS 18 AND 22 AND SEE WHAT it says. Go read Romans 1:26-27 and see what it says.
Be careful you let in the chamber of your marriage. I've had people to look at me and say, "Mason, don't you know you got to have license to preach?" Huh?
License to preach. I don't need no license to preach. There ain't no other man can tell me how to preach. And I'm sorry. THE LORD CALLED ME TO PREACH AND NOBODY ELSE CALLED ME but the Lord. My mom right there.
He is going and he goes crazy. Wow. He's funny. That boy good. That boy good. That boy is making Georgia whatever part you're in. You're doing great work.
Congratulations from evading that gay bomb. Vinnie. All right. So, let's go to let's go let's go to this here. This interesting story. Federal prosecutors open investigation into federal chair Powell. Uhoh. What?
Oh boy. Uhoh. Yep. They're going after Jerome Powell, which is stirring up a lot of conversation. Rob, is this him saying it that it's happening?
Go ahead, Rob. Good evening. On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony concerned in part a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one, certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve, is above the law.
You, but this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role. The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public rather than following the preferences of the president.
This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation. I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price. You get the idea of what's happening. So, Tom, what's going on over here, Tom? So what he did was the um the Fed chairman Powell was in front of Congress because to renovate a building, an individual building, suddenly the price tag was $2.5 billion. Now when you look at the Department of Defense once got caught paying $6,000 for a simple hammer. Um yeah, you can you know that when the government is paying for things, there's graft, there's kickbacks, there's things, there's all these allegations.
I'm not saying that there was that on the Fed building, but all those allegations usually when there's audits really um go, you know, point bad. So last year and the ad there. There it is. Federal Reserve blows 2.5 billion on Palace of Versailles headquarters. So this was they really got caught Pat. They were this building is poorly managed. This is embarrassing and it's embarrassing. So Powell was over there said a couple things that in Congress turned out to be not perfectly correct but no one including the congressional committee thought that Powell was out and out lying the way say Minneapolis level fraud lying. Well, Trump at the same time has been putting pressure on on Powell as has um uh Fanny and Freddy, you know, um you know, Bill Py uh has been pushing on Powell to lower interest rates to see if we could help the housing market a little bit or a little bit more. And Trump also wants to lower
those rates for Pat US debt is coming due and it's going to be refinanced. He wants it refinanced at lower interest rates. So he wants the rates down. Uh the Fed was saying no. Well, the Fed is now saying, "Okay, the federal investigators are doing this." And this is Powell saying, "I think this is a little bit over the top considering what's going on at the Fed building, and I think they're using it to exert political pressure on me regarding interest rates." So, it's not about me operating as the Fed. Suddenly, this is the president, you know, pushing politically because he didn't like my answer. And so now he's having people investigate the building. I think there's a little of both going on, Pat.
Quite frankly, there is pressure on Powell to lower interest rates from the White House uh and from the Secretary Bessant. There are definitely pressure, but there but there also is, let's face it, yet again, the American taxpayer paying 20x what they should be paying for something. And so somebody needs to be and if the head of the Fed who's a political position is managing a building project, the first thing I say is, "Wait a minute. You're not going to take a a rear policy guy and have him manage a building project. Pat and I have managed building projects." It takes a special people to hold developers feet to the fire, keep your bids low, get your delivery dates, and not all those phone calls are going to be pleasant. Sometimes it really takes some arm wrestling. So if Trump pal is managing a renovation, it kind of doesn't surprise me that a policy wonk you know ends up you know with his with
his um you know what stuck in the shredder because the thing is out of control.
You got to know what it looks like to the average person. The average person who's looking at this Tom is saying you're not lowering the rates. I'm coming off coming after you. The average person sees it that way. Forget about the whole thing. You know, you talk to the average person.
That's very that's partly true here. Yeah. So, if if you look at the average person, the average person is saying, "Screw Jerome Powell. All I care about is lower the rates. I want to refinance." And I get that and that's 80 90% of America. But the other side, you can also sit there and say, "Flip the, you know,
tables and you know, if it happens the other way around and it's not a term that you're running and the president is Joe Biden doing this to Jerome Powell, what would you be saying? Would you be sitting there saying I agree with him? Would you not agree with him?" So you have to be fair and see optics
you know I don't know if this is you just have to know when is his time up Rob isn't his time coming up in June
in May of 2026 he's got four months it's coming up it's coming up in the next four months so I get it I mean for four months to do that um you know you don't want to just wait four more months to get this just wrapped up and move on. I don't know Adam if you got some thoughts on this we'll go
yeah nobody's surprised to see Trump beefing with Jerome Powell. We've covered this multiple times. I kind of said it's like a east coast, west coast rap beef. They're out there throwing threads. Biggie versus Tupac. You go Biggie versus Tupac. This is more like Tupac versus Shade. So, the reality is we shouldn't have Jerome Powell speaking. We The Fed doesn't speak unless there's some major problems usually unless they're announcing some major announcement.
You know, monetary policy via the Fed. They have two primary components. Setting the interest rate, which Trump is basically pissed about right now. The current uh Fed fund rate fed fund rate is around three and a half three uh maybe four at the most. The prime rate is around six and a half seven. And then number two, unemployment. Unemployment is basically right where we need it to be under 5%. I think around four four and a half%. As much as I give Trump credit and I'm completely all in on the Trump MAGA 2.0 uh state of affairs in America, I don't like what he's doing with Pal. I think Pal has overall done a good job. Could he lower interest rates? Yeah. Should he? Maybe. But he's not going to jail.
There's not going to get in trouble. The worst that's going to happen to him is exactly what he's dealing with. Trump's pressure and intimidation and he has four more months until he can go retire.
Okay. So, let's go to the next story. Anti-ICE protests are getting bigger and bigger everywhere. You saw this one story here from the time. Anti-C protest spreading across the US. after the fatal shooting. Rob, if you got that clip, it's on page 10. Um, so, uh, uh, protesters took the streets of Minneapolis, Portland, and other cities on Saturday with more than a thousand anti-ass demonstrations plan across the US over the weekend after the killing of Minneapolis woman Renee Nicole goodbye and immigration agent. Tens of thousands of march Saturday in Minneapolis uh where protest and vigil gatherings have been going ongoing for days since Good's death, anger over her killing and the shooting of two Venezuelan immigrants outside of a hospital by border agents in Portland on Thursday quickly led to call for nationwide protest organizers of the ICE out for good rallies said the shootings demonstrated an alarming
pattern of unchecked violence and abuse by federal government. Rob, if you got a clip, if you want to play it, is this it? Go for it.
This is a Colorado protest where they have the communist flag in the background.
Go ahead. RENEE say good. Renee good. Is that really a communist flag in the back?
Yeah. Okay. All right. If that's a protest, guys, that's like seven people chanting with a megaphone. You don't have But there's protest going on.
This is Washington DC. Let's see it. No fear. Immigrants are welcome here. No, no fear. IMMIGRANTS ARE WELCOME HERE.
Immigrants are welcome here. Is that what they're saying? So they they only miss one thing.
Legal. They wanted to say illegal. Mhm. Of course. Immigrants are welcome. You guys needed to say illegal. Where is this at, Rob?
This is New York City. There's no audio for this one, but this a crowd shot of Is this a Is this a recent New York City one, Rob? According to Grock, it was this past weekend.
So, this was verified. Yep. That's a good amount of people right there. Yeah, that's a good amount of people. That's in New York City. Okay. So, that's something something's happening over there. Now, Mark Ruffalo,
if you have that, he's the uh he's the Incredible Hulk guy, right? If I'm not mistaken, he's the guy that went on and was being interviewed, he had a pin on
and according to USA Today, he used the word pedophile. Rob, if you want to play this, this is at what awards? Which awards go?
Golden Globes. Golden Globes. Go ahead, Rob. Mark, what's the pin? This is for Renee Nicole Good who is murdered. We have a vice president who's lying about what's happening. We have a um we're in the middle of a a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. He he's telling the world that international law doesn't matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality. But the guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He's a pedophile. He's the worst human being. If we're relying on this guy's morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble. So, this is for her. This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I'm one of them. I love this country.
And what I'm seeing here happening is not America. It's not. Mark, why do you feel that this platform is still useful to spread a message like this? Listen, I I I want to pretend like this is I want to be here to celebrate and I am here to celebrate and I'm proud to have a golden
pause it right there. Okay, Vinnie, I'm going to come to you with this one here. What's going on here?
Well, well, first first and foremost, I hope if anybody's watching this, tell show that to the president of the United States, another person calling him a convicted rapist and all that stuff. And I hope that these people are are held liable to what they're for the words that come out of their mouth. This again, these people will never change their tune. This I think it's woke white men like this Pat that create white liberal women because the men are soft and they don't check them and put them in their place. That's me personally.
This everything that's happening, all those protests, those are not organic. I can't get three of my friends to go hang out and go have a freaking coffee at a diner on the weekend. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I'M NOT EVEN BEING FUNNY. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT'S ORGANIC? That's not paid for. I've seen all the polls online, Pat. It's a They're getting paid for it. The majority of them don't know what they're doing. If I If I had to put money on Cal, I'm pretty sure they could have that on there. If George Soros is somehow connected to all these people that have no idea what's going on, but it's hard to blame the dumb ones because they've been told they've been told for how long that these people are Gustapo.
They're they're they're out to get them. They're secret police. CUZ LET'S NOT get it twisted. Rob, I sent you some clips of Obama. OBAMA DEPORTED 5 million people. Tommy, he did the BY THE WAY, ICE AGENTS WERE DOING exactly what these people are doing right now. These federal agents, but you know what? Nobody said anything because ABC, CBS, MSNBC didn't show any of it.
Is this it? Can you play Rob? Is this the one clip? I have two of them. PLAY IT. GO AHEAD. PLAY. CHECK THIS OUT.
Broken the law. You didn't come here the way you were supposed to. So this is not going to be a free ride.
What's going to happen is you are going to learn English. You are going to you are going to go to the back of the line so you don't get ahead of somebody who was in Mexico City applying legally.
That means leave. I think the American people, they appreciate and believe in immigration, but they can't have a situation where you just have half a million people pouring over the border without any kind of mechanism to control it.
Weird. You've broken the law. Okay, pause it right there. Now, go ahead, Pat. Oh, because because the the the ridiculousness of because think about it. Think about this. What does the left stand for? What do they have? No policy, no nothing. THINK ABOUT IT. M DANI IS THEIR GUY. THIS SOCIALIST MOVEMENT, COMMUNIST, you know, having a freaking lawyer that that represents terrorists. This is the party now. This is where they've shifted cuz they have nothing. And just a little FUN FACT, DO YOU guys know, speaking of Minnesota? Who was the last white woman killed in Minnesota?
Anybody want to take a jab? She was the politician. You Justine Diamond. Okay, this is back in 2017. Do you know who her killer was? Muhammad Nure, the first Somali police officer, United States. Guess what happens? She calls 911 because she thought someone was being assaulted near her home. She walked outside in her pajamas, unarmed, asking for help. She approached his squad CAR AND HE SHOT HER THROUGH THE DRIVER'S side window. He was convicted of thirdderee uh murder, manslaughter, and sentenced to 12 and a half years. But in 2021, Minnesota Supreme Court overturned the conviction and he was sentenced was reduced. And in 2022, he walked free. Okay? No riots, no marches, no Steve Cerr or or Doc Rivers talking crap, no leaders saying anything. Okay.
Did LeBron wear a hoodie? LeBron did not wear a hoodie. The hypocrisy you Somebody got shot. He didn't wear a hoodie
by by a Somali guy. Okay. And it's crazy. It's wild to me, guys. How like which white women the left cares for. They don't care about the white women that were raped and murdered during the Biden administration by illegals around the country. They don't care about the white woman, PAT, THAT WAS SET ON FIRE in New York and died in front of everybody by an illegal. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT. Who was that girl? The the the Ukrainian American that was sitting on the train stabbed in her neck. They don't give a damn. Okay? And if you think about it, Tom, if the white girl, what was her name? Be good. Whatever the whole Renee Good, if she drove over the ICE agent and killed him, THEY WOULD BE CELEBRATING IN the streets like they did with Charlie Kirk. Okay, that they they probably start a GoFundMe to get her out of
and that certain of them celebrated Luigi Manion 100%. So, P and and I want to point one last thing. It's it's so blatantly obvious and I know the majority of us and the people understand this is all performative art. It's all art. And the majority of these people are white liberal women that are bored. Guys, think about it. THEY WHITE THESE women wake up, they have nothing to do. THEY THEY WAKE UP AND THEY'RE LIKE, "OH, SHOULD SHOULD I DO THE ORGANIC CREAMER OR SHOULD I GO NON-FAT?" THAT WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE nothing to stand for, you latch on to other people's problems.
Pat, BLM, uh, LGBTQ, Ukraine, flag this, flag that. And just a really quick heads up, Rob, could you show the list of ICE individuals that ICE arrested this past couple weeks in Minnesota, Sanctuary State, Minnesota? Pat, look at these photos. I'm not going to say the names because it's TOO MUCH. BUT THESE GUYS WERE CONVICTED OF SODOMY OF A BOY, strong armed sodomy of a girl. They were deported. Deportation order 2018. Another one, sexual assault, sodomy of an underage 13-year-old girl, and procuring child uh prostitution.
Deportation order 2006. The list keeps going. STRONG ARMED RAPE, CONVICTED of rape, child rap. The list keeps going. They're acting as if these people are just going into freaking stores and grabbing mom and dads. And I'm sorry, guys. When these people are in a sanctuary city and ICE are doing their job, I applaud it. I want double up on it. Okay? And if you're dumb enough dumb enough to listen to the rhetoric by your governor and you try to drive over an ICE agent, that's what's going to happen to you. Cuz this is what's happening.
NONE OF YOU GUYS SAID anything to Obama. So shut your asses up now. That's all I got to say.
Let me show this. Let me show this, Rob. Do you have uh the Dear Abby clip that's saying how come when under Obama
things were being people were being deported, it wasn't as uh uh uh it wasn't as televised. It wasn't as much news. Um Do you know which one I'm talking about, R?
I'm looking for it. Yeah. There's a clip of Abby from CNN. This was just asked recently. Is that the one?
No, that's from May. Okay. Well, I thought we had it earlier. So, uh Okay. Well, then Rob, before you look for that, do me a favor. I'll look for it and I'll send it to you. Go to Steve Curry and Doc Rivers. So, this is Steve Kerr
and Doc Rivers, two NBA coaches and NBA known for having lost a lot of uh viewers
over the years. They are barely starting to get some momentum back of people finally showing back up. And guess what Doc Rivers and Steve Ker want to do? They want to kill those viewers again. Go ahead, Rob. Well, I'm I'm glad that the Timberwolves u you know recognized u you know her life and the tragic nature of her death and um it's shameful really that in our country um we can have law enforcement officers who commit murder and
seemingly get away with it. Um it's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and um witnesses who have have all come out and disputed what the government is saying. So very demoralizing uh devastating to lose um you know anyone's life especially in that matter. Uh so it's terrible terribly sad for her family.
Pause this and go to Doc Rivers. So that's him and this is Doc Rivers. Go ahead. you know, what happened in Minnesota is is was a straightup murder, uh, in my opinion. Um, and it's awful. Um, you know, this lady was probably trying to go home and she didn't make it home and that's really sad. So, um, this the whole ICE thing is is it's a travesty. You know, it's clearly
um to me it's we're we're attacking brown people. What? And I just happen to be pride, please. Um, and I don't think uh it should just be brown people who are upset at this. I think we all have to be. I don't care what side of the state politically.
He's not following the story. I don't think he's fully spun up on the story. Of course, he has no idea what he's talking about.
I'm not going to get into the race stuff. I will. And then it's just wrong and and we have to do something right. Go ahead. Well, uh, clearly Doc Rivers has no idea what he's talking about. And, uh, let me just go one by one here. So, this to me, what they're doing with ICE right now is the exact equivalent of what they tried to do in 2020 when they tried to defund the police. And then people came to their senses and be like, what do you mean no police?
What are we talking about? So for the people out there, and it's the vast majority of people who don't know what IC's role is, they are the immigration police, their job, ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They're enforcing the law. If you don't like the law, go ahead and change it. Now, if I'm just the average person out there and I'm not following politics and I see on the news woman shot in her car in the face by police, I totally understand why you would have a emotional just disgusted reaction. I hear you. Look at what Doc Rivers just did. Well, you know, in my opinion, it's just straight up murder, he says. And
here's this woman who was just on her way home and they're attacking uh black and brown people. Hey. Hey Doc. And I know your son Austin, maybe you pay attention for a second. She was a white lady obstructing ICE from doing their job.
Yep. So if you're going to make comments, at least know what you're talking about because it's perfectly okay. Doc Rivers, Steve Kerr, Greg Papovich, who's no longer coaching to be like, listen, tragedy what happened, but I stay out of politics and move on. If you're getting your politics from Doc Rivers, you probably are going to be uninformed. By the way, Doc, your Milwaukee Bucks are uh are barely in the playoffs at this point. Focus on Giannis, who's arguably the greatest player in the league other than Joic. Focus on your team. maybe winning a game or two and making the playoffs. Don't worry about politics.
Stay in your lane, buddy. You know, they say shut up and dribble. Shut up and coach. That's my opinion.
Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know if I agree with that. I don't know if I agree with shut up and coach or any of that stuff because this is America. You can you can speak and give your thoughts. I don't have a problem with you speaking. Let me tell you what is dangerous is when you're saying something that you haven't done uh a a research on
of research. Yeah. And and you're not empowering what makes the arena safe. Who makes the arena safe? Security, cops, all of those guys. Not an easy job.
It's not an easy job to have and and and to go through. But I'm wondering if I'm Adam Silver, what am I doing if I'm Adam Silver? You know, Adam Silver is going to get judged like a Roger Gold. You're gonna get judged by what the product of the company is going to be, what new markets we get into. I I I I don't know if Adam Silver is the right guy for the job. Uh I'm sure, you know, he worked under David Stern for many years, so he, you know, David Stern appointed him. I think he gave him the job. But we'll see what's going to happen. Let me go to this. Here's Abby from CNN. It's a 13-second clip. Look what she questions, what she says, and then you tell me how you would respond to what Abby says here. Go ahead, Rob.
Obama was able to deport millions of people in this country. And I don't recall ever seeing things like that unfolding in suburban neighborhoods across the country. And you have to wonder why.
You pause it right there. You know why, Abby? Maybe because you guys didn't cover it. It's that simple. You guys didn't cover You didn't have to cover it. I mean, what do you mean? Why? Anything Obama did, he did, right? So, you wouldn't sit there and criticize him and say, "No, can't believe you did this."
Why are you going to go document that? Why are you going to go show what's really taking? How do you think Obama deported people? You, by the way, let's let's play this out to all the people that support Obama. Do you think Obama went like this? His ICE agents, hey, yes, Jose, Maria, you guys got to go back to Mexico. Oh, thank you so much.
Yeah. for allowing us to go back to our country that we escaped from because Obama is so sweet and amazing, so gentle. We're going to go back. You know what? Here, arrest us. Matter of fact, screw it. We committed a crime. Take us back. You think that's what happened? What do you think the way ISIS is going to do it? How do you think you do it? There's no other way of doing it but it being nasty. You think and out of the three million people or whatever the number is, he deported
5 million. Let's say it's 5 million. Out of the three to five million people who deported, how many of them went back willingly, how many of them were like, "It is a badge of honor to be able to tell my grandkids one day that Barack Obama asked me to go back to Mexico, and if it's Barack Obama, I'm going to follow the rules. That's why." Or do you think it was nasty like a sausage factory, but you just refuse to report on it? Here, by the way, check this out. While this is going on, Laura Ingram is in the streets and she's going around asking people ICE protests, why are you why do you have a job? Why don't you go do job? You know, have a job. And look what one person says when she asked them the question, do you have a job? Watch this.
Shame. Shame. Do you have a job? Do you have a job? Shame. I'M GETTING PAID RIGHT NOW. SHAME. SHAME.
YEAH, that's all she wants. I'm getting paid right now. I'm getting paid right now.
She doesn't even realize what just happened. A simple question. Do you have a job? I'm getting paid right now. Who's paying her?
Who do you think is paying her? Is it one of those Soros things? Who's paying her? Who's giving her the money to go out there and do this?
Actually, Pat Rob has something. Rob, don't you have that little that thing that I showed you that this was circulating around? Adam, you saw this like these little documents uh that were out that were spreading. Rob, I think you showed it. Not that one. That little document underneath where Nick Shirley posted. Can you zoom in on that, Rob? Uh, point of contact. Uh, do not I'm sorry. Yeah. Do not name this individual any uh comms or person. This does not leave this document. The dispersement of funds will occur in three stages.
Initial dispersement or funds prior to action. If you not already received dispersement, please reach out to the designated point of contact. Typically, this will constitute 5 to 10% of the negotiated amount uh ETA one or two weeks prior to action. This is for the protesters. Immediately follow debrief. A OEC representatives will direct you on where you can expect to see the next stage of funding dispersement. Typically, this will constitute 20 to 30% of the negotiated amount, ETA 28 to 48 hours following action and then final dispersement of funds will come at some point in the future. A timeline will be determined by AOEC representatives. Your contract and further possible uh amendments from the AOC uh agitate what is it? Agorgs. I don't know how this
agitating orgs. Oh, agitated agitators. And what do you agitate towards? This is a constitute a remainder of negotiated amount. And look at that. They're paying them this type of money final dispersement. So, it's not organic. These people are going going to get paid to show up.
They're some of these protesters are getting ripped off because they think they're going to get some amount. We'll give you 5% here, 20% here. We'll provide the uh the following will be sometime after action. You know what that means? Get on camera. Make a fool. Get some things out there. And they're probably not gonna get fully paid. What are you gonna do? Get a lawyer and go to court and say, "HEY, THIS GUY PROTESTING.
HEY, MR. Bet David. You get a neck from one of these guys. Uh, I was supposed to have been paid as an agitator. They didn't give me the last 40%. Should I get a lawyer?"
That's funny. Well, can I make a comment or two on this? So, uh, ICE and, uh, the FBI and the CIA, this message is for you. There's a guy named Neville Roy Singum. You ever heard this name?
A guy. Yes. Please look into this man. Oh, they they are this billionaire turned Marxist
who apparently lives in China is funding all these operations and I think they're based out of New York. I want to say him and his wife, let me give her a shout out. Jody
Jody Evans, respect to you. She started something called the people's forum. So when you see all these protests pop up like this,
it's these are those people. Uh allow me to make one other point. You you said why don't these things happen under Obama? Well, he did it without advertising this. You might want to say that Trump made a mistake by advertising this or you might give him credit because that's what people voted for. Also, what didn't it really fully exist when Barack Obama was the president? Social media was not where it was today. Certainly X independent journalists Nick Shirley's, James O'Keefe, they weren't as prominent as they were today. completely necessary. And then this is precoid in a world where you could just be blue pill and not question the government or anything. And then since co people are like, "Yeah, I don't know what's going on around here, bro." But I want to give one uh story about a person that you'll know and I'm so proud of him, the way he operates. So you remember when we were in Bokeh, you met my friend T, the black
guy. We had we had dinner at the yard house and 28 points in a game. Yes, I remember.
Amazing. So he says, "Bro, what the f is going on in this world? I have all my friends from other countries," cuz he's from Trinidad basically saying, "What the hell's going on in America? They're saying that America's done. It's very sad to hear this. What do you what can you share with me?" And I said, "Hey, brother, how many people and what countries are we talking about?" He goes, "Well, obviously for me it's a lot of Caribbean guys, Triny, Jamaicans. Um, I even got it from my Canadian sister." I said, "Uh, how many of them would leave their country right now and move to the US if they can get US citizenship?" He goes, "Great point.
Every single one of them that I've debated with and argued with and spoken with would leave their country right now and drop everything and move to America in a heartbeat.
So be very careful the assumptions and the logic that you're going down this path you're going down because all these haters of America will drop everything and move here in a sec. And I just want Pat, I just want everybody to understand, guys, all this noise, all this crazy noise. And I and I don't think they are. I mean, I think that they're saying focus. Even Scott Besset makes some comments. Let's not forget about the billions of dollars of fraud from Tim Waltz and Ilhan Omar and Jacob Freys freaking Minnesota. Don't let guys ALL THIS ELHAN PATS ON TOP OF TRUCKS AND DOING ALL THAT. ALL THAT LITTLE FOG OF WAR THAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO DO. YOU GOT THE HAMMER'S coming down on them.
This was this Scott Besset talking about it, ROB. HE'S LIKE, "WHOA, WE'RE NOT WE'RE GOING AFTER EVERYBODY, RIGHT? We're not stopping. He's holding everybody." You want to play this?
This is an outrage. President Trump is outraged. I'm outraged. The whole administration is outraged. And we are here to follow the money because that's what Treasury does. We have done that for years. We We did it with the mafia. We have done it with the cartels. And now we are going to do it the with these Somali fraudsters and Treasury has something called Fencen, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. And we are coming in and we're coming in uh tomorrow. We are announcing that four investigations into money service businesses that we believe may have wired money out of the country, a lot of the ill gotten stolen money over to the Middle East, over to Somalia. We'll see where that's going. And so we're announcing investigations into four of those businesses. That's all that matter. This whole thing they were the reason why Tim Walls and I've been breaking it down. Tim Walls was picked the first day he was in how much was it?
$35 million to Kamla and the campaign. This is all connected. This is all connected. And you know why he was pushing for people TO GET IN FRONT OF ISIS FACE. SO THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO DETER EVERYBODY from looking at you on the problem. But you can't hide from the US. Let me go to the story. Elhan Omar urges public to film ICE.
Yeah. Chides agents who shot Renee good for getting in front of moving car. Okay. And Rob, I think you got a clip of this. Go ahead and play the clip. Watch this, folks.
I think it is really important um for uh Americans uh to record um to create the level of accountability and transparency that we need. Uh we have what we have seen in Minneapolis is ICE agents oftentimes jumping out uh of their cars. These are unmarked cars. Uh oftentimes they're wearing a mask.
Uh they're uh approaching um running towards cars. They're pulling people uh out of those cars. Often times these people are citizens. Often times these people have documentation um of their uh legal right uh to be in in this country. And we know that uh DHS has lied repeatedly um when it comes to these accounts. So it is even more important for there to be recording uh from eyewitnesses every single time these actions are
What is the story Rob with her and a million dollars restaurant? What what what's going on with that story? Okay. Is this the one with page eight advocated for funds for Somali run addiction group later discovered to be a restaurant? Is that the one we're talking about? Can you can you please play this, Rob? Watch this, folks. covered the other day in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress was an $1 million earmark from Representative Ilon Omar of Minnesota, which was a an earmark that was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals that share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags. Um, so this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well. So I
raised the issue and fortunately the house has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota.
Tom, thoughts. So, first of all, let's for for people who maybe don't know, um, an earmark that she's talking about. Let's say Vinnie, you're going to do the inflation reduction bill.
Oh, god. Pick a hypothetical thing. Hey, Tom, I could really use your vote on the bill. Hey Vinnie, I could get behind your bill, but I'm not going to co-sponsor it. My district's a little neutral on the fence. No problem. Give me an earark. An earmark is I say, "Well, give me an earmark for a million dollars for a substance abuse place in Minneapolis." And what there are, there will be a list of earmarks that are on the back of the bill. This is why people say bills should be singlepurpose. Inflation reduction act for inflation. You know, um North Carolina hurricane recovery should be only relief funds only going to North Carolina, only going to first responders. Make sense? Instead, we found out the bills. Remember, he looked at the Biden bill, inflation reduction act, stuff was going to Ukraine. Stuff was going this way, that way. So, what Omar did, she told somebody, she would give the usual typical thing is you tell
somebody, you have my vote on the bill, but I need an ear mark. What do you need? Here it is. So, we don't know if that conversation happened, but they happen every day in Washington. But what we do know is there was absolutely an earmark in that bill that Joanie Ernst, I believe that was Joanie Ernst, am I right Rob? Um, who is now going on TV telling Vney saying, "We found an earmark in this bill for a million bucks for a treatment center that was a small restaurant that wasn't even operating." So guess what? Another example of create a cause or create a program. The money went in there and then God knows where it went. Did it go into Tim Walsh's re-election fund? We don't know. Did it go offshore to al-Shabaab? But what Finnen? So financial financial crime network that is the department of the treasury is one of the toughest places to get an indictment. You do not want it. They used to do counterfeitters. That's how
they got a lot of organized crime. And you've got Bessant saying, "We're going to open up Fininscent on this because you have taken money from the US government that went across state lines and across wires and go." So there's there's there's part of the answer. They're going to prosecute. They're going to find out where that million dollars went once it went to Minnesota. What little journey did it go on? However, earmarking is what Omar did. So, she knew exactly who it was going to and now she's got to look into the camera and say she had no idea that that was a fraudulent destination. She hasn't done that yet. But I wait for her. I want to see a microphone in her face.
Oh, the million-doll earmark. Who was it to? Who did you know there? And did you know that it was a basically fictitious organization operating out of a restaurant? Did you know? I want to see her in front of congressional testimony. I want to see Tim Wallace in front of a hearing. That's what I want to say.
And Tom, and I and I hope God I hope it happens sooner than later because I I Tom, the hardest thing for me as trying to be a really good Christian is number one, praying for my enemies. That's so freaking hard. And then patience. I am one of the most impatient people. I ask for help every single day. And I and I showed I sent Rob the chart. Like the amount of people under Biden, Republicans that were arrested are insane. Okay. Everything from the president, Rob, how many people were on that list? Can you show that list of how many people were arrested besides the,265 January 6ers? There's like 63 people.
Look at look AT THIS LIST FROM DONALD TRUMP TO UH SCOTT HALL, UH SEAN GR, DAVID JAMES. LOOK AT ALL THE ARRESTS. And I get it. We're a little bit over a year in, but like that when we talk about enemies, foreign and domestic, these are the domestic enemy that we're talking about. Besides the media, these people, these Elon Omar Somali group, let's just take one group in general, they were stealing taxpayer money, FUNNELING IT TO TO DEMOCRATIC uh campaigns, and then sending IT TO TERRORISTS OVERSEAS. HOW IS THAT, GOD REST THAT GIRL RENEE SOUL, OKAY?
TRAGEDY. HOW IS THAT THE NOT the number one thing that they're still talking about right now? And I get Listen, Cash Patel, FBI, I DON'T GIVE TWO CRAPS ABOUT CHANTY BIPS AND HIM GAMBLING. PUT THAT TO THE SIDE. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE TO GO AFTER. THIS IS THE MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS ISN'T A HUNDRED MILLION. THIS ISN'T 500 million. This is nine billion dollars. That's what we care about. Okay? Go after them. And the fact that they're spitting in the president's face and talking crap about ICE, go after them.
By the way, that's only round one. 9 billion is round one. This gets bigger. By the way, fully support uh everything you're saying. I'm not going to say it with as as much uh emotion and uh volume, but let me give my uh my take that if I could summarize Ilon Omar in one word, it's just ungrateful. So, let me understand this to her and the Somali community, to my friends in Minneapolis. So, you run away from a bad place, you come to a good place, and then you start complaining about the good place. So, if America's so evil and white men are the root of all problem, why are you here? Why are you here? It reminds me of a story, you know, of my personal issues with my family and dad.
At one point, it got so bad that I had to run away from home and I lived with one of my best friends, family, right? Took my boxes, showed up at my buddy's house. I'm living with him now. And I'm like, "Thank you for taking me in." And I started saying things like, he goes, "Yeah, we have dinner at six o'clock." I go, "Why do you do dinner? It's that's so early, dude. Like, why do you do dinner?" And he goes, "Let me go talk to my mom." And he comes back and he goes, "Yeah, I spoke to my mom and she said, "Uh uh, you don't have to eat with us.
You can go home if you'd like." And I go, "Oh, sorry. Uh, I'll be there at the 6:00 dinner." Cuz I realized I'm a guest in their house. I don't dictate the rules or tell them. I kind OF THINK I'M A 7:30 dinner guy. I shut up and I went to dinner and I respected the rules and I had gratitude and I was so grateful that they took me in. He's still one of my best friends. I wish Ian Omar and these Somali would change their tune and have a little gratitude for what America has done for them and their community.
But but Adam, on the list of what you can call her, I think ungrateful is all the way down here. This is a US congresswoman who came here that allegedly all of her people in this town are freaking in a scam and a fraud. They're stealing money. She allegedly married her brother to get him papers to come here. And then she's bashing the bashing the country. And to me, my opinion, calling for people to get in the face of these people to cause more problems. Ungrateful is definitely on the list here. It's criminal what they're doing.
How about unindicted, unconscionable, unrestrained unbelievable. Way better. Wait. Unamerican.
Guys, what word would you use to describe illustration? Put that in the chat. That's a disgusting person.
I'd love to know what people have to say. That's a disgusting person. I And I wish I wish she had Christ in her life, but she definitely is far far from that.
BBD, can can I Here's what I've noticed. Tear this apart. It seems to me a lot of times when people not born in America come to America, the ones that are so grateful to be here end up being Republican.
And the ones that want to tear down America end up being Democrats. That's my speculation. Could be wrong. Do I have any uh validity here? What's your experience in this?
Yeah, I mean I don't know. anybody. I learned a long time ago when I would uh had guys that were renting from my office. I had an office lease and other guys are renting from me. I had one of my guys who, you know, one of my good friends at the time would have been one of my best friends.
And he's dating this girl. He wants to give a ring to this girl and do a balloon ride, whatever this thing was. He's like 3500 bucks. How balloon ride and proposed to her.
And he says to me, "Pat, I can't pay rent this month." I said, "So I got to pay rent?" He says, "Yes." So, I'm I'm in this mode where it's like, man, but this is my friend.
Maybe I should just Okay, no problem. No rent. Next month, guess what? He comes and tells me
can't pay rent. Can't pay this month, but I pay next month. Yeah. Hot air balloon, buddy.
So, I'm like, okay. So, then third month, fourth month, eight months, he doesn't pay rent. You know what happened that time till today? That's the last time we spoke.
Yeah. Because I became the bad guy. And one of my mentors pulls me aside and he says, "You will learn something about life." And this business will teach you a lot, especially when you're developing people in sales. Those who come to you who say things like, "But I'm not getting any leads, but I'm not getting any appointments, but I'm not getting any this, but I'm not getting any that." Anybody that speaks that language is eventually going to turn against you. Yesterday at 8:30, I get a call from a guy and the guy's like, "Hey, how you doing?" 818. I'm like, "Who is this guy?" So, I pick up.
I'm thinking it's one of my friends calling me. Yeah, you you remember me. You remember me? I said, "Buddy, I don't know who you are. It's 8:30. I'm with the family. I'm trying to do my thing. Why are you calling me on a Sunday night?" "No, but let me tell you, you remember me because we were friends and this this that and trust me." I'm like, "Okay, got it. What can I help you?" I just want to say, "Do you can I call you tomorrow?" I said, "No, no, whatever you want to tell me, you got one minute right now. Tell me."
So, he goes into saying, "I'm a diehard fan. I love everything." I said, "Yeah, but what are you calling me for right now?
I'm trying to buy these machines and I need $50,000 tomorrow. Can you send it to me?" I said, I I stopped. I said,
"Seriously, Sunday night, I've never spoken to you. I don't know who you are. You got my number from somebody. You're calling me to just give you $50,000." Then yesterday, another guy that you go back back in the days, he sits with me and he says, "I want you to buy my" This guy's wife is a lawyer. He's a homemaker. So he raises his kids and his dad's his wife's a a lawyer, homemaker. She's a homemaker and he sits me down and gives me the Zoom webinar and he says, "I want to buy the soccer equipment for my kid and I want you to pay for it." I said, "Have you and your wife done any other GoFundM?" He says, "No, no. I just wanted to come to you because the other day I was at Rafy's place and these three Armenian kids were saying bad things about you. I think this would help if you buy this. I'm going to go tell everybody." I said, "So, let me get this." But this the same guy came to me 18 years ago for $5,000
to start a business. Oh man. So I said, "Buddy, I was about to give you the $1,500 until you told me that you're going to go somehow help my reputation with three Armenian guys at Rafy's place that said this is a guy that made money and left Glendel." As if I need that. The moment you go there, you lose him. What's the point? Anyone in your life that [ __ ] a lot and you do for them once, you have to do for them twice, three times, four times. And guess what happens? The moment you stop doing,
you did good for them 73 times. That one time you say no, you're a permanent enemy to them.
They will go behind your back, tarnish your reputation with everybody. And that's the Democratic party.
That's the answer to your question. Those who want entitlement programs, you will never make them happy. Never make them happy. Reparations will give you millions. We'll give you 10 million. You'll never be happy. You'll say, "Wasn't enough. I needed 20 million." You give him 20 million. Wasn't enough. I need a 40 million. 40 million. Wasn't enough. I needed 80. You will never ever make this group of people happy. This isn't everybody, by the way. I'm not talking about There's plenty of Democrats that are hardworking people
that are Democrats because they're socially liberal. They are pro-abortion. They are pro-LGBT, you know, they are pro I wouldn't even say LGBT, I would say LG. They are pro a lot of these other things, right?
LGB. LGB. The T is I think the T is getting exposed by both sides, by the way. So that that's what I would tell you.
You know who agrees with you, by the way? I think I've heard Charles Barkley say something very similar about when he was given money to his friends and family and at one point he had to cut it off.
No way. And he said the exact same thing. He says, "I've given you 10 times in a row. The 11th time I said no, I'm the bad guy now."
And and it it'll never stop. It's a basic rule. Don't lend. Don't lend. Give a tenth of what they ask for. If you're even willing to do it, I need 5,000 bucks. I I want to borrow 5,000 bucks. Here's 500 bucks, but you don't need to pay me back. I heard you say this before and I've taken your advice because I've also been in a position where I've given people money or whatever. I say whatever it is. This is the one time. There's no other time.
So, you don't even need to pay me back. I've heard you say call me last night at 8:30 for $50,000. I don't even know who this guy is. I said, "You calling me on a Sunday night?" "Yeah, because I need it by tomorrow." So, you This is a person I've never spoken to.
Who gave me? Maybe I went to high school with this guy. He says, "We went to high school together. Can you wire me $50,000?" And by the way, he's on you.
Watch what he's going to do this week. Let me tell you all he cares about is this, this. Anyways,
you talked about it being like a four-step process. It's what was it? Um, appreciation ends up with expectation. There's like four steps.
Yeah. We we we've uh Rob, is this the clip about Charles Barkley and giving money?
We play this. Go ahead. You can play that clip. Yeah. Start giving people money. They're never going to ask you for money one time,
right? But he said, she said, "The second thing is no matter what you do for them, the first time you tell them no, they hate you."
And I said, "What?" And and I had to learn people who I have been given money to, the first time I told them no, they like, "No, no, no. We're not friends anymore." That was a tough and painful lesson for me.
Give Junior Bridgeman some credit, too. People don't know who that Well, uh, every time I see Junior, I say thank you because magic is kind of taking over now.
Oh, yes. Yeah. So, let me tell you what it is, Tom. I'm glad you remind me of this. Here's how it goes. Give once, you'll elicit appreciation. Give twice and you create anticipation.
Give three times and you create expectation. Give four times and it becomes entitlement. Give five times. You have established dependency.
That is the Democratic party. Please put that into a tweet somewhere. That is a Democratic party. That's a great That is a Democratic party. So you give wants to win elections. You have to keep doing it over and over and over again or else you're not going to win those guys
and they have you hostage at that point. Yeah, they have to. Let me get to the next story. So JD Vance believes Grog sexualized pictures on X are unacceptable says foreign secretary as Elon Musk decries fascist Britain and post AI image of Starmer in a bikini. Okay, so now you know that's
that's Elon Musk. He likes to do that. That's how he has his fun on how to get under people's skin. He's a rage baiting machine is what he is. I love
JD Vance believes manipulated images of women and children that are sexualized by Grock art artificial agency artificial chatbot are entirely unacceptable. Rob, do you have the JD Vance clip uh instead of this one or is that the clip that we have of Kier Starmer?
This is Kier Starmer. Okay, got it. Elon Musk believe the boss of X uh platform where images have been shared has accused the UK government of being fascist and trying to curb free speech. And this is the uh Cure Star responding. Go ahead, Rob.
Disgraceful. It's disgusting. Um, and it's not to be tolerated. X has got to get a grip of this. Um, and Offcom uh have full support uh to take uh action in relation to this. This is wrong. It's unlawful. We're not going to tolerate it. I've asked for all options to be on the table. It's disgusting.
Okay. So, let me tell you how it's working out right now. So, here's Vinnie in a picture. Rob, if you have it, Vinnie, do you give us permission?
I give you permission. So, this is Listen, I was Okay, so guys, I was in I was in my office, my green room.
This is how it works. This is Grock. That's Grock. And then go to the next one.
This is video regular picture. Now, if you guys want to get your imagination, this is how I look like.
YEAH, BUT HOW DO how do they know what your abs are? By the way, first of all, no. By the way, I don't have that little That's my abs. That's you, buddy.
That's my abs. That's my chest. Those a little bit booby. So this is so so people can post a picture and say put this on a bikini.
But can I be honest with you guys though? That's pretty cuz I didn't that doesn't know what I look like with my shirt off. That's kind of what I look like. Meaning my legs, my calves. That's that's me.
Is that a tight? What you got going? All right. So So let's So let me let me go with this. So let me go with this. So the question is the the question is should this be allowed or should this not be allowed? Is this okay? Is this not okay? JD is against this. He's not for this is what he's saying. Right. He's saying this isn't good. We shouldn't be doing this.
Do you think it's okay uh uh Vinnie for them to be able to show the pictures any way they want when you make that ass with Gro?
But here's the thing. What's to stop Pat? cuz it you can't like how are they going to do an AI company worldwide ban on taking any images and taking anybody that's that to me is almost impossible cuz people are going to find loopholes are going to do it to me that's funny in the moment it's funny I was talking with Jake like when we first saw it I was like like Jake's face made me realize like while I'm laughing and it's me and I'm a comedian I don't care his initial face was like whoa that's dangerous it's very very dangerous And but I think like Pandora's box has already been opened.
Is there going to be are we going to go backwards? Are they going to ban and make that illegal? Cuz I know just just with Chad GBT, there's certain prompts that you can avoid. I remember when Chad GBT first came out, Tom, there was a prompt that you put that you just put it in and it backed everything that you wanted from anything crazy, from anything violent, it gave it to you. I'm not like again, I'm a comedian. It doesn't bother me, but I could see how that could put somebody, especially in 3 to 5 years, which I think is going to be completely out of control. They're you're going to have to defend yourself to say that that wasn't me because as we all know from the mainstream media, once it's put out there, good luck trying to take it back. They're going to take it and they're going to run with it. So, if there's a way, I would say yes, do it.
Try to stop it. But I'm realistic knowing that in today's day and age, you try to shut this down, they're going to find loopholes uh to do it. I just hope that there's things that are being put in place right now to protect people uh to verify immediately that that's not me, that's not a human. Meaning, put a little thing on the bottom or kind of like imprinted time like you know how I do when I put um a picture in a picture and says fake fake AI fake a watermark. So that that's that's what I feel.
Satire and memes are as old as 1776. uh they used to make uh political uh cartoons that would appear in newspapers making fun of King George. Uh and then through the 70s and 80s a guy named Pat Olifant was one of the best uh artists that created the political satire. Now this is before you know 96 Netscape browser here we got the internet. So it's really what you said is true when you use the words this day and age in this day and age we have the ability to make it look too good. Yes. and so good that it can be deceptive. It's no longer a um uh a meme. It's no longer uh something histo hysterical. It's no longer something about your like a political comic in the newspaper. It looks too good so that it can be deceptive as to the reality of that person. Did that person really do that?
Were they really there? Were they really crossdressing you in this case? That's the issue. And I think I disagree with the UK that doesn't want criticism of its political leaders, especially when they and Canada and Australia are out there saying maybe we should put, you know, state controlled suppressants on um on X. And by the way, state controlled suppressants is called selective censorship.
But that's the concern, Tom, to me. Like I I I think what this is, this is their tool. So imagine your daughter is tweeting. Somebody comes, she posts a picture. Somebody comes in and says, "Put her in a bikini. Are you okay with that? She's 19 years old." Not at all. Well, that's what X is doing.
It looks too good. So the That's what X is doing. Is that okay for her to have that?
No. Who has a Who has a deferring position with that? No. I'm Oh, I'm not comfortable with it at all. My question is this though. Can they Grock can stop it? But I'm saying all these there's so many AI places out there. If you ask him to put somebody in a bikini, it's going to do it. Unless there is a worldwide every single AI has to put that algorithm or that type of prompt that's going to say no. But I I don't know how difficult that's going to be. You know, I heard somebody talk once about this, Pat, and they said, you know, many people saying, "Oh my gosh, all the divorces that will happen, all the people that will be arrested and charged with crimes, everyone's going to get, you know, indicted." And I and the you know what the argument was, Pat?
No. The defense will be it's AI and no one will get indicted. Yeah. and no one will be believed and nothing will be believed which is actually worse than an innocent man one single innocent man I wasn't at that party which is an inconvenience you go down the the the rail where the defense is oh that's AI I was not there that's AI
I didn't do that I didn't say that that's AI and everybody goes but but there's you know maybe you're right
no but but here's what's going to happen with that Tom because the great thing about capitalism and incentives being there someone's going to create the Experian, you know, what is it? TransUnion and and what's the other one? Equifax that you get to check to credit on the credibility of that video. Like we go to Gro and say, "Hey, is this real? Is this fake?" This is a deep fake.
There's going to be people that that's their job. All they do is check it. And it's easy for us to find out right there. So, I think it's actually going to be a business model. My question is, do you have an argument why it should be okay to allow that to happen?
No, you don't have an argument. It needs to be valid. I don't have somehow watermarkked. I don't have I think I think it has to be what what Tom just said because you just made me think that I think it's funny cuz I'm a comedian, but what's to have some perverted pedophile crazy guy take photos of underage girls and do that same exact thing.
Okay, so perfect. Let's go back and forth. I tell you, perfect. We're going to make those pictures only available for 18 and above.
How you going to How you going to make sure that people Everybody has to put up an ID when they open up the account.
But what if somebody's using somebody else's account? They're perverted. They grab somebody's account and they
if we find out that's what it is, we'll shut down the account. I'm role playing with you. I'm not telling you these are the rules.
No, no, I'm with you. I'm with you. I I I I still Do you have another position?
Yeah, I do. Uh I'm mostly okay with stuff like this. Why? Well, in America, we have free speech. If I complained every hate comment or mean tweet that I received, buddy, there'd be lawsuits left and right. That's not how America works. So, there's free speech, there's hate speech, which is protected, and there's inciting violence. Yeah.
Unless this is inciting violence, I don't know. By the way, JD Vance is probably the number one person to be able to weigh in on this because you know who's more famous than JD Vance.
Fake JD Vance that's trending on the internet everywhere. This dude right here. How many times have you seen this meme? By the way, he's going to be the first presidential candidate in 2028, more than likely, where his fake AI fat pimp uh avatar, this thing is going to be trending more than anything. So JD is going to have to get ahead of this. By the way, the Supreme Court's at some point going to see this. However, we have to deal with misinformation, disinformation. The same can't be said about what's going on in the UK. UK has arrested more people than any other country from online comments
for uh online comments. Just online comments. But by the way, what happens if we have zero tolerance for saying anything bad? Well, we remember what happened in Paris with Charlie Hebdo when the radical is SAYS YOU CANNOT DRAW A PICTURE OF MUHAMMAD. WE'LL kill you. And you know what?
They did. And they'll do that if you draw a picture of their prophet. So there's a slippery slope here. For the most part, I believe the internet. I believe in free speech. I don't want to I don't know if I'm an absolutist, but without very few exceptions, I think you could be able to do what you want on the internet.
But is is taking a photo of someone, let's just say, Adam, me and you are beefing online, you're across the pond or whatever. Is it free speech to take an image of you ready for this? Cuz this is where it becomes Adam law and you're I'm I'm this is like indictments and getting arrest. I put you in a situation with an underage girl cuz like but what we did was me and somebody that works here. We were in a photo and they put us both in and it was like wait a minute it looked so real and it's only going to keep getting realer. We're I I don't think this is a free speech issue. I think this is a taking a person and putting them in a situation or putting them somewhere where they were clearly not doing it. So then then what that creates is Adam ready for this? If somebody took that photo of me right now and put it on CNN, MSNBC and said, "Look at what Vinnie's wearing. Let's say it was worth I by the time it's out there,
it's over. I have to prove that I didn't do it." But by the way, with that body, if we can show that image again, that wouldn't be the worst thing for you to leak right there.
No, probably not. However, aren't there liel and slander laws like around fake new like fake news that if he says this is not me, this is fake.
By the way, how many lost That's right, Rob. How many lawsuits does X have for deep fakes?
How many people have sued X for deep fakes? I actually wonder I if if their compliance departments got thousands of lawsuits that are pending I
or or have they held themselves harmless? He has filed lawsuits. Does it show anything or no? Defix has also been challenged by two individuals. But is there like they got thousands of pending lawsuits? Go a little bit lower. There's no numbers, right? So now,
can I give you a different uh perspective real quick? Who do you think is more likely to do stuff like this? A 16-year-old boy or a 45-year-old man?
16-y old boy. 16-year-old boy. They're having fun doing stupid stuff on the internet.
Are you really going to go after every 16-year-old boy that does stupid things? That is a very slippery slope cuz they're sitting on their computer, on their phone, at home. This is funny. This is funny. Well, let me let me ask a different question here. We were talking about this backstage and I'm wondering what you would say. Okay, we live in Florida. You'll go to a restaurant and you will see a 65 year old man with a 25-year-old girl and you'll say, "Oh, wow. Great to meet you. Your father is very, you know, sharp." And she says, "That's not my father. That's my husband. That's my boyfriend."
Yeah. And you smile at first. You're like, "That's funny." No, really, that's my husband. And then you say, "Well, great to meet you, you know Jackie
and Mr. Jones, whatever you want to call it. Tom is in his early 60s." Okay. If Tom was single, okay, and Tom makes pretty good money. If Tom is single, what age girl, if Tom walked in with that he's dating, would you say, "Come on, man. It's a little weird." What would it be for you, Vinnie? the to me Tom Tom how old's uh your oldest?
Uh Bailey's going to be 20. I Tom if I saw Tom with a 20-year-old I would I would an issue
20 21 like to me because I know well I know who he is but if he walked in a I'd be it'd be a
Tom say it's a 63y old guy that's a friend of yours who is successful but maybe he's no longer married. What age girl he shows up with? Would you say, "Bro, what are you doing?"
Anything younger than 24, 25 years old. Anything younger than 24 say 25, which is still young. It's still young.
He's 65. She's 25. What would you say? 25. I would question like what are you doing?
I love her. What? You know what I would say? You know, I would say to him, "And what does she love, Tom?" Like, how
she loves me for who I am. She likes my jokes. I would say, Tom, there's beautiful 40year-olds. That's she should that this person's 26.
They don't laugh at my jokes. They're going to laugh at your jokes. I'm telling you. I'm real. I'm Tom. Nobody. They don't laugh at my jokes. I can't make 40-year-olds hander.
This 25year-old thinks I'm a rockar. Tom, you know why you rockstar? Tom, you have a Ferrari. Okay. You have a big house. It's all you. And you have a lot of money and you're out there wearing these beautiful Stefano Richie suits. You are balling, Tom. When you walk in restaurants, you throw cash.
I don't care. I love her. Okay. Now, Tom. Tom, she doesn't love you for you. She loves you.
How do you You don't know that. You don't know what she tells Tom. You seen Bill Bich? Tom,
you know how good she is at texting? Huh? She's an incredible text. How do you know it's not like her friends or somebody else?
No way. I I I believe you. You can just sense it. It's real, Tom. So So your problem is anything below 25.
25 is I mean, but if she's 26 and a day, you're fine. No, I'm not really fine with it.
27 in two weeks. How about this? 35 and up. I'd be like, "Okay, Tom, I get it. She's still young enough to walk around. Her hip's not going to break when Tom gets crazy cuz Tom's very physical. If
so not. Okay. ALL RIGHT. IF SHE'S ROB, what do you think? You're an outsider. Good hips.
What do you think, Rob? Where do you put yourself with this? Uh, under the age of 30.
It's a little weird. Yeah, I think 30 and above. Cuz what else are you going to talk about? They I don't know what issues you would have in common.
What if she had a major in national security and polyai and she's 23 and she's brilliant. She had a 4.7 GPA. She just gets turned on by the big words Tom uses.
Nobody's going to know that when they see the optics. They're just going to see a man in his 30s and a very very young girl. So even if they're very very intelligent, I think the optics, you got to be 30.
Florida problems, by the way. Okay, I don't even want to go to Adam because Adam is It's not It's not even
Adam. Well, can I go Tom? Play on Playboy. I knew that because uh in my opinion, whatever age you are, the woman should not be less than 21 years of age because you're going to probably go get a drink with the woman. To me, this the the equivalent thing here is at what point do you start taxing wealth? Well, you know, if you make over a half a million, you should get taxed. All right. Well, so I make 600,000. Well, you know, and it's always what do you always say? Just a guy that always makes a little bit more than you. So, there's a rule for this. It's in dating. They say the rule of thumb for dating is half your age plus seven. So if Tom is 60, let's say, half his age is
30. 30 + 7. 37 is where you should be. Now, by the way, this should be for a second marriage, not necessarily for a first cuz the bisdock babes as hot as they come and as cool as they come. So don't think about doing anything stupid. However,
she's in the parking lot. Of course, with a gun. With a gun. She's in the bushes.
I see people of all ages. Just when I thought that 16-year-old men, 60 year old men, and 30-y old women was a weird thing in Miami, then I went to Palm Beach, baby, and I started seeing 80year-old men with 20some year old women. So, to me, there's no rule. Just understand one thing.
It's all transactional. She's using you for money and you're using her for her looks and sex appeal.
And as long as that's clear, play ball. Remember Smith? And Nicole Smith was with that old guy. Remember how old
guy? He was dying, bro. That guy, I think he died and came back to life. Of course.
But when you set a cap on something, there's always going to be like, well, I'm going to tell you this. It wasn't like this.
This, look how happy he is, though. He probably died right after this. Do you remember the movie Best in Show? But then she
He looks like one of the characters from uh Game of Thrones. He looks like a white walker.
Best in show. talking or not talking. Yeah. But you know what? You know the reason why the average person's listening to this saying, "What the hell is wrong with you guys?" Listen,
we never talked about this in LA. I don't remember this age gap in LA. Oh, hell no.
And by the way, we never saw this in Dallas. We saw some of it, but not this. The the age gap in Palm Beach, the stuff you see here.
Yeah. They do not You have to literally be careful. You see a guy dating a girl that could be as grandkid, but they're together and I love her. I love her. You know, Jen and I went to dinner one time. I was telling you this. We went to this restaurant with the worst name in the world called Meat Factory,
right? And um and we go to this place and I see this 28-year-old, 35y old guy sitting with this 85year-old, 80-year-old lady. And Jen and I are having dinner. She's sitting here. I'm sitting. We're talking. And if all of a sudden for five minutes, you know, we're looking at each other. We're not talking and you over here. Have I told you this? No. Over here. And she says, "Did and by the way, Jen is not a person that pays attention. She's she's just locked in. She's not nosy."
She says, I said, "Babe, did you hear what they just said? Did you hear it?" Yeah. So this this guy starts telling this and I am looking to see because we thought it was a grandma and grandson just going out. I'm like, "What an awesome moment." Yeah,
grandma grandson is going out spend time. And then he starts saying to her, "Oh, I like the way you look when you play tennis today."
Mhm. So I'm like, "There's no way grandson's going to talk like that to his grandma." He says, "You don't even know what I'm going to do to you after dinner tonight."
No, he did not. And we're sitting, you know, you know when you're like, you're you're eating your fra and then you're like, "Wait, what?" And then you have to look. YOU'RE LIKE, "DON'T LOOK." YEAH. I'M GOING TO GO LIKE THIS. IN THE LATE 20S, EARLY 30S TELLING AN 80-YEAR-OLD, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'm going to do to you after this.
So, it works both ways. Yeah. Because she was obviously very poor woman and he loved her. Or she was a widow billionaire with a tennis instructor that gets paid 40 grand a month,
30 grand a month. Okay? It's a very different lifestyle, but both can be true. So, you're going to hear stories like that,
but you don't see it. The majority of the time it's girls that are like just lazy and don't want to work. Before we wrap up, and this leads into my CTA, Rob, if you want to pull up the form for anybody that lives in Palm Beach, widow above 80 that's very wealthy. Vinnie is single
and Vinnie is looking and Vinnie and I have this. We have some incredible, you know, he will make you laugh. He will entertain you.
Trying to find Vinnie a woman 85 and older. 85 and older. I'm talking about like she has to be in a country club. She has to be wealthy, not rich,
with a life expectancy. That narrows it down. Yeah. But wait, and guess what? And and just for the ladies that are out there, the 85s and older, the first our first DAY SKYDIVING.
SO, SO by the way, so Rob, if you want to pull this up, please man Vinnie, if you want to pull up his handle, here's Vinnie's man. Manctim, if you have any uh candidates that are looking 85 and up, he's interested.
Good hips. And then for Tom artificial head, just, you know, if you want to send some Tom some love and Adam, you know, whatever kind of life advice you want to give.
Wish me luck in my new relationship. Anyways, can I give a one shout out real quick? Let's just go back to that.
Speaking of dating, our friend Marcelo Hernandez, he just uh who used to work here, friend of ours, everything. He just came out with his Netflix special. There's one joke he says in the show that's exactly this. Whereas men and women date for different reasons. Where men will be very critical. If you bring around a girl, it's like, "Yo, bro, your girl. What's up with her forehead, bro?" And he's like, "Well, you're bald, dude. What are you talking about?" Whereas, if a woman brings a guy around, she's like, "This is my new boyfriend."
And uh yeah, he's a frog and uh uh he lives on a lily pad. That's where we date. Blah blah blah blah blah. And the friends will be like, "Well, ribbit." Like, they'll completely understand that a woman is solving for a different thing than men. So, women are of course going to go after guys with money who are rich and studs like Tom.
I got you. Okay. Where men are solving for hotness and hopefully some interview.
Listen, Marcelo is magical how gifted the guy is. So, if you haven't seen this special, you're telling me it's awesome. I got to go see I heard it's number three. He is a guy that we all support. He's phenomenal at what he does. But I want to give a shout out to somebody before we wrap up. It'll be very fast. We should go to this restaurant here called Black Rockck. I don't know whatever it's called across the street.
And uh all of a sudden it shuts down. There used to be a waitress that took care of us. Her name is
Vera. And I'm like, man, this place shut down. So I call my realtor. I said, can you find out if they're selling the property? I wouldn't mind buying the property because it's close. It'd be a great property to buy. And they're like, no, you have to buy the whole shopping center. not interested in being in the shopping center business. Anyways, two weeks later, sign goes up, Bradley's. Like, Bradley's what?
We like the menu for Black Rockck. So, then the other night, I say, Tico, you want to go have dinner? Yeah. So, we go to our own table that we sit all the way in our in our side that we sit there and I go in and I'm reading the mission statement and I see the hostess. I come up to the hostess. I'm looking around and she's looking at me like, "What is wrong with this guy?" For like 20 seconds, I'm looking around. I said, "Is it still the same team? Has the team changed?" "No, it's the same team." I look to my right. Vera runs up to me.
Yeah. Give her a hug. She says, "You guys want to send the same place?" We go to the same place.
I said, "What the hell happened here?" She says, "Well, my husband and I, we decided to start a restaurant called Bradley." I said, "What's your husband's name?" Brad.
Wow. Brad and Vera. Wow. We ordered food. Incredible bone and ribeye. The spinach dip. phenomenal, right?
She brought this one thing with honey on top of it. I couldn't I could have a bucket of it right now. So great.
By the time it was done, we met both of them. Just want to give a shout out to local small business owner Vera and Bradley. Brad, if you guys haven't gone to support them here locally, you're in the Fort Lauderdale, greater Fort Lauderdale area,
go eat at the Bradley's and tell them PBD sent you. Nice. She will treat you royally. They will treat you royally. beautiful young couple. They've been together for 15 years they've been together. Like literally, it's a very very good love story. Young early 30s and uh quality quality people. I I wish nothing but the best to this couple running the Bradley Fort Lauderdale restaurant. Go support them, eat the food. Their menu is phenomenal and their service is even better. Anyways, having said that, gang, great to be with you guys. We will do this again on Wednesday. God bless everybody. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
