30 seconds. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever sign. It's right here.

You are a 101. My son's right about this. Okay, we are officially live, folks. The reason why we're at this set, not our usual set, is because the last episode was a final episode we did in the old set. A new set is being built. When we're ready to reveal it, we'll let you know what the date's going to be. We're excited about it. Our guest today,

why do I get why do I get the old set? Our guest today, how did I get screwed on this intentionally? Because

it's retro. Our guest today fully believes you can do it. Just so you guys know that why he you can

you can do it on the old set, not the new set. You can't do it on the the new one built. You have to do it on the old one.

We're we're temporary one. Look what we did here, Rob. We gave you a nice little place that can fit a couple hundred people. They're not here right now, but we give you nice we got an audience. You got an audience of seven people that are watching this.

They're protesting in Minnesota. They'll be here soon. So, I was I was telling I I told Tiko I said, "Tico, Rob Schneider is going to be on the podcast today." He says, "Dad, I don't want to go to school. I want to come see him." I said, "No, you're going to school, buddy. We'll go ahead and do the podcast. But

he made that sounds like a half good story. I I I thought he was going to say and here he is.

No, he's not. No, he's at school. He's at school. But uh anyways, okay. So, we got a lot of stories to cover. Rob, of course, some of the stuff that we'll cover

uh with with things that you got going on, but I guess we got the late night hosts,

Jimmy Keml, Coar Fallon all pushed conspiracy theories that Trump captured Maduro to distract from the Epstein files. I want to get your thoughts on that here in a minute. Conan O'Brien says, "The FTR comics have been co-opted by anger just screaming." This is Conan O'Brien, by the way. Credit to him for saying something like that.

No, I appreciate Conan. I've always appreciated Conan. I My first job was with Conan O'Brien.

With Conan? Well, my first job Well, it's my first real job at Saturday Night Live. Yeah.

Was there a live audience or was it like it was an audience with not like this stuff that we do for you?

No. I mean, they had a real set. They didn't give me like a secondary. They go, "We're going to Rob. Let's bring Rob out, but let's not bring him until Not after we finish the new beautiful set. Let's bring him to the old place.

Stick him in there. No, but I I really appreciate Conan O'Brien saying that cuz it's true.

Yeah, I'm going to get into it. I'm going to get into it in a minute when we get into the story. I want to read all I'm going to tee it up and then I'll tee you up. Trust me, we'll get into So, let me just read all the stories. We got a lot of stuff going on with Iran. There was some stuff that happened yesterday. I think they're saying some reports public are 50 plus that have died but people I'm hearing from Iran on the streets it's hundreds of people have died in was cut off yesterday allegedly was supposed to there was tweets about he's going to meet with Trump and then there wasn't and then now he is complimentary of Trump I got very direct feedback on that community will respond to the Iranian thing Venezuela with what's going on there bunch of different new things that are um formulating and then Trump says he's banning institutional investors from scooping up single family homes. Big

deal. Very big deal. Thank you. Marco Rubio making moves on on Greenland as Trump extremely serious about buying island

valued at $3.3 billion. Let me make an offer first. Yeah, you can't you can't just take the first $3 billion offer.

That's right. You got to take another one. Well, maybe you got you can make a public offer today. Trump and Colombian president speak by phone for the first time amid escalating tensions, which is good that they talked.

Denmark uh will shoot first and ask questions later if the US invades Greenland. Think about the way you're talking

from their dog. Yeah, they'll shoot first. Shoot what? Exactly. Rand Paul, I will do everything to stop any kind of military takeover of Greenland. So that's Rand Paul.

Yeah. And then LA Mayor Bass brushes off Palisades fire protest, claims locals are profiting. Gavin Newsome confronts $18 billion budget disaster he helped create. What What more can these LA people want? I mean, yes, 17,000 homes gone, but or 1700 homes, but they've built back four. And you have to look at the positives. Yeah, we're able to cut through the red tape and in one year two of the homes are back.

Yeah, exciting. We'll we'll definitely get into that because I don't even think that's his biggest problem. There's a allegedly a $250 billion fraud that they're looking into the billionaire more strategic move out make strategic moves out of California ahead of the proposed well tax Larry Page.

Yeah. Just about $173 million two Miami homes right next to each other. They moved to Miami. They left California.

Two bedroom to come Yeah. It's a two-bedroom, two-bedroom, one bath. They moved out here with protest held in Minneapolis.

No garage. Yeah. No garage. No garage. You got You got to have You have to share the garage.

Yeah. After shot, a woman shot. We'll talk about the shooting with ICE video. There's a lot of commentary there. Even make the mayor Jacob Fry tells uh ICE to get the f out of Minneapolis. You got to see this video. Another article came out saying, "Is the American uh is is this the end of American capitalism?" Warner Brothers, something funny is going on with Warner Brothers. I'm curious to know what you're going to say about this later on. Warner Brothers tells shareholders that Larry Ellison, who's worth roughly $300 billion, give or take. His wealth isn't enough to beat out Netflix's bid. Tom thinks something's going on behind closed doors that they want Netflix as the buyer, but not Larry Ellison. Nobody knows why.

We'll talk about it. Of course, Iran will talk about Maduro is gone, but rep uh repression in Venezuela intensifies. China expected to replace Venezuelan oil with Iranian crude. And then we got a couple other updates here with stories to cover as well.

That's like eight minutes right there. Yeah, that is eight minutes. But we're going to go two hours. I hope you're ready and your bladder can handle next two and a half hours.

Oh man. Uh Vinnie, tell us what's happening with the stuff you've been doing. By the way, Rob, just so you know,

Vinnie, his gear, Faith Over Fear, tens of thousands of pieces sold out in a couple weeks. Tell us about Faith Over Fear, Vinnie. Well, um, just letting everybody know I appreciate everybody that's, uh, getting on board. I saw a guy at the airport that was wearing the faith over fear. I was at a diner and some guy pat me on the back. I was like, "Hey, what what is that all about?" And he wanted to know what Hebrews 11 chapter 1 was. And we got into a really good conversation. And I know I always talk about faith over fear being like in in the Bible with the centurion uh, soldier whose kid was healed where Jesus just said, "Go because of your faith, it's going to be healed." and the woman that had the bleeding issue that pushed through the crowd that just touched Jesus's edge of hem of his clothing and he was healed. So I want people to know that that's back in the biblical days.

Faith over fear still applies today. It's you know it it's what starting a business when the numbers scare you. Speaking the truth when silence feels safer. Fear waits for comfort and faith moves with conviction. Uh you guys can go on there right now. I have another we have a a hat that's coming soon. I don't want to give it away, but you guys can go to is it has it FLB

vtmerch.com. VT merch. Go to vtmerch.com, guys. We have hoodies, we have hats, uh, rocket, and let people know where you stand.

I love it. Go to vtmerch.com. Place your order, buy for yourself, your friends, your peers. Having said that, let's get right into it. I want to start off with you, Rob. Okay, so late night host Jimmy Keml Fallon all push conspiracy theory that Trump captured Maduro to distract from Epstein files. Rob, if you got the clips, play it. We'll react to it. Go for it.

Um, if you were wondering how bad these Epstein files are for Trump, turns out they're invade Venezuela bad. This is literally the plot of the movie Wag the Dog. The president gets caught in a sex scandal, so he attacks a smaller country to distract us. And here we are distracted. On Saturday, Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and his wife were captured by Delta Force at their home in Caracus and brought to New York. Trump watched the operation unfold in real time from the bunker in his basement at Mara Lago. You can see there he is with Hagset and Marco Rubio. This mission was called Operation Absolute Resolve, which is a title that was definitely generated by Chat GBT.

I'll tell you the uh my response to that is it's a really good um warning to comedians and other hosts and other people do shows that if you go too far in down the you know conspiracy rabbit hole or if you just get too politicized and then all of a sudden you're not um you know you're not in the funny business anymore. you're just in the uh it's it's it's politics and it's uh you know it it's it's really propaganda through comedic imposition. they're imposing their views and uh it's just it it wasn't funny and it wasn't particularly uh interesting and it's also it's just factually uh incoherent because believe me if there was anything in those files uh about Trump the Democrats had it for years they would have released it but you think they would have they would have hid that stuff to protect Trump no it would have been out

billboards so I mean look uh obviously all that stuff should come out but the the the the presumption that there's stuff there. It's just how much more of this is like it's like it's it's people see that Russia was all the only two people not involved in the Russia Trump collusion was Russia and Trump. Everybody else seemed to be colluding. So I I think the American people see through that. It's just like when you watch the news, depending if if you're watching CNN, you know, you have to go, okay, what aren't okay, what if if politics is war by other means, this is war. So, it's it's it's just a political warfare. So, what are they not telling you? And so, in this thing, it's just, you know, it's it's it's treating your audience like they're stupid or like they're just in your own political echo chamber. And it's like he listens. I mean, I think he's affected by the headwriter who's his wife, who's a who's

a liberal. The headwriter is his wife. Yeah, that's way out there. Jimmy Kimmel's wife.

Jimmy Kimmel. No, I know. But the head writer for what? For the show. Jimmy Kimmel.

For the show. Did you see the podcast where she he looked like he was a hostage by her over liberal white anger and bitterness? Oh,

I think it's I think um I think he's obviously Look, Jimmy Kimmel's certainly capable of being funny. I mean, I remember doing um Yes. No, I remember doing a um uh the show. He was the MC while we did the Hugh Hefner roast. uh 8 days after 9/11. Uh and you know, and he was funny. He can be funny. I just I think when you get so um emotionally vested in something and uh I just think it's uh I I will tell you this right now, there's no way Disney's picking him up after his contract expires in April, that we'll let it expire and that's it.

Disney doesn't want this. Disney shareholders don't want politics. They just want they want entertainment. They want and why would you want to allow 50 automatically, you know, take, okay, there's 80 million voters that we don't want watching our show?

It's crazy. I'm sorry. Let me let me ask you a direct question. He he was funny after 9/11, so 24 years ago. When's the last time Jimmy Kimmel was actually funny?

Well, I will tell you, you can't really come up with like, well, that was a really good zinger. I mean, like, you know, Jay Leno, you can remember. I mean, I remember his jokes, you know, when he was on his, hey, you know, they remember when Starbucks is, you know, Starbucks is opening up another 600 Starbucks and where can they open it up? The only place I can think of is inside of Starbucks. You know,

he would have um Leno was the best. I mean, I mean, he was really the best comedian of the of his era. And, you know, and he was he

But he was fair though. That's the thing about Leno. He'd call out all those guys. I mean, Carson, Letterman, they they they let me finish. They um they um

he will do that often and you you you you're fine constantly doing that. Keep going.

No, but they they they they obviously whoever's in power should they should they should go after but with jokes and and I think um yeah I mean traditionally Trump has been thin skinned about any jokes but I also think those aren't jokes. Adam Cro was here, he was very complimentary of uh uh Kemmel. Like he wouldn't say anything bad about Kemel because he said Kemmel's the reason why he came up and all this other stuff. So he's got

but but I know that that him and they they they diverge. But we have to move. We all have to uh we can have divergent views without uh demonizing each other. And the problem with what Jimmy Kimmel does and what I just saw is this is just a continuation of the demonization of half of America. And well, who's that get why was that getting us anywhere? Right. Uh I I just think it's um again it's just politics for political gain. It's it's some sort of you know propaganda with comedic imposition. This is and and the idea that the audience is going to laugh. They're not laughing.

They're applauding you know in the the little political echo chamber. That's I'm telling you he won't be there after 8.

Well let me read this. Let me read this Rob. Is this Coar? Let's see Coar, but I want to go to uh I want to go to Conan right afterwards and I want to get his thoughts on Conan. So, go ahead and play this one here.

What this means? Those Epstein files must be crazy. I mean, bomb something. BOMB ANYTHING.

TO ME, he's not funny. To me, he's not funny at all. I I can't I don't think I've ever he Trump's New Year's resolution was

Let me read Conis and I'm going to come to you. So Conan O'Brien says, "FT Trump comics have been co-opted by anger just screaming. Comedian late night show Conan O'Brien criticizes comics who are more focused on screaming about Trump." Rob, was there a clip on this or was this Okay, go for it. Play this. Some comics go the route of

can we raise the audio a little bit guys? I'm going to just say f Trump every all the time or that's their comedy. And I think well now a little bit you're being co-opted because you're so angry. You've been lulled. It's like a siren leading you into the rocks. You've been lulled into just saying f Trump. F Trump. F Trump. Screw this guy. Um, you know, and I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger.

And that person or any person like that would say, "Well, things are too serious now. I don't need to be funny." And I think, well, if you're a comedian, you always need to be funny. You just have to find a way.

Bingo. And you you just have to find a way to channel that anger into a way that is cuz good art will always be a great weapon,

will always be a perfect uh weapon against power, but if you're just screaming and you're just angry, um you've lost your best tool in the toolbox.

Rob, what do you say to that? Well, I think that's wonderful. And you know, Conan's very logical, rational, and a good guy. And also when he was did his show, his monologues were about getting laughs. It wasn't about some political indoctrination through comedic imposition. I keep coming back to that. Um, so it it um he's 100% right. We have to be there to entertain. I mean, when I go and you know, tonight when I got two shows, I'm there to entertain them. And if I don't make them laugh, I mean, yeah. Oops. I got to call my kid. She's on her way to school.

um the uh the we are there to entertain and and so yes I think you can have a political opinion but it's just like you know Jerry Seinfield was saying the other day and we had a I mean I had I talked to him about that at the Saturday Night Live anniversary 50th anniversary cuz he said I don't believe that there's a woke thing and blah blah blah and I said there is woke and he absolutely and he said something like there's no woke cancelling stuff and he corrected himself I think uh and he said to me, "No, I'm saying that there is, but uh you can just use you can find a way around it and still find a way to be funny." Which is absolutely true. And he's one of the masters of all time. I mean, for for you know, his his skill and um acumen, uh is, you know, he's absolutely brilliant. I mean, he literally is a genius of of comedy. And uh but he's right. You have to find a way to get to it. And so you have it

seems like you know Jimmy Kimmel's just in a war and before you know the the he his contract expires he's just going to continue to try to burn down as much and just and have a fire going. And I just said like you know Conan's right your biggest weapon is come up with something funny and I think there's absolutely you have to go after the people in power and Trump's in power and the Republicans are in power but find a way to do it. I find a way to do it that's um that has a surprise to it and certainly you know it's just illogical to to to think that you know somehow the Democrats would withhold um you know really u evidence that was um you showing Trump in a bad light. If if if they if they had it,

believe me, it would be everywhere. Rob, here's my thing. As as a as a as a fellow comedian, that's just hack. That's just the joke that everybody And by the way, it's been going on for almost 10 years. It's a hack. He's a hack. The other guy's a hack. My question to you is though, Rob, this is a studio decision. I know his wife is doing the writing and he's in there and they're patting each other on the back and they're and they're loving each other. But from a business standpoint, we we saw the numbers a couple weeks ago. They are they've been hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars. Nobody's watching.

They haven't changed any course. He keeps spitting the same rhetoric. So my question is, is it the donors that are behind the Democratic party that just want to just destroy it's just anti

willing Disney as of this point uh does not want the political backlash and will continue the bleeding until the contracts up in April and then there there is no reason financially or a business decision uh will be to not to not bring him back. And that's just I mean I'm not saying personally I I it doesn't have anything to do with me. I'm just saying as if it if they make a decision to keep him and to to make redo his contract or give him a contact contract extension to Jimmy Kimmel, that's going to be a purely uh political decision based on not wanting any crap from uh you know the the the violent uh or should say the viralent um and loud liberal intelligencia. But that same liberal intelligencia isn't watching the show anymore. Mhm.

Cuz even they go like, "Ah, it's not funny. What what am I getting out of it?" They they watch it for like the first week or the first couple first show when he came back. But um if they do make that decision, it's going to be it's not a business decision. They'll be telling their stockholders. We're not making business decisions. And I just think, you know, it's a business. You have to make a decision and you have to make a decision based on what is going to benefit your stockholders. If you if you're in a money a business to make money, it's just like if they had a boat, if Disney has seven cruise lines, they got the seventh one that they that they uh released last year. If that wasn't making money, then you take the boat off and you don't do that anymore.

So, this boat, the Jimmy Kimmel late night show is not making money and they got to bring it back to doc and figure out how to make money in that spot. That's it. It's a business decision. It's nothing personal. I mean, if if I I think it's just those shows are gonna go away anyway. I just think that that that's a form that people I mean, most

You're saying it's gonna go away. Like the late night show late night shows are going to all be gone. They're not going to have that.

What's What's going to replace it? Is it going to be like podcasters and YouTubers like Kill Tony?

Yes. You're going to have people that are watching specific shows for them. I mean, Kill Tony is way bigger than all those shows. That's right. To, you know, uh exponentially to the 10th power bigger than them. that have 10 million people will watch each episode. And uh and but Tony's there to get laughs. And he's also I mean I would say he's more Johnny Carson than any of these late night hosts.

And he's a great man. I got to tell you, I have never had anybody in this business kinder to me than than Tony Hinchcliffe. Out of the blue. Didn't know me. Never never really met me. He invited me on his show. And thank you Tony for having you know uh the balls to have me cuz I don't get invited to the late night shows but it's like I'm a comedian. I'm there to get laughs and but I'm not going to give into the you know I want to go the other way and I have gone the other way because it's more interesting. You want to be you want to go against the tide. But then I had against the tide. You know being uh conservative uh you know in in 2020 was not easy. I had as much as 30 people would get up and walk out for a joke about COVID at that time or about uh Biden or something. People would just and so I had to literally I talked to John Cle who's al you know who's a

extremely alleged but also crazy over-the-top anti-Trump liberal but he's a great man. I don't give a crap of what his politics are but he said Rob I think we should give a warning before your shows. I know what no just say you know for those of you who are feeling ex extremely you know exceptionally sensitive those who trapped in their own political echo chamber those who whose um when they hear ideas separate than their own may cause their emotional collapse this and that may not be the show for you and so I did a version of that and I and I did it for like two years uh just before it was just a warning you know before because it's like hey this is a comedy show you're going to hear jokes and they're not going to be what you you need to challenge your audience Otherwise, you're a boar.

So, you got to challenge and you got to challenge both sides. So, I think that's that's what's going to make it make it interesting.

And Rob, how's your relationship with Adam Sandler right now? I think there was something I read that it was, you know, he goes out of his way to always include

that was an AI thing. So, that's not a real thing. It's all AI. It's so funny because even people like yourself were pretty savvy, really savvy that it's still like you believe it because you know there's just there's these bot farms. That's why it's very important that Elon Musk and uh Zuckerberg hopefully will put uh this is made in India by AI you know on the thing. So well then not just community notes but it should say where the country of origin because you know India has like literally like an AI machine to just throw stuff out there and throw if they get enough YouTube of um views they get money on that. So it's like whether it's China or whether it's Pakistan or whether it's India it's all fake [ __ ] But no, Adam supports me. He's my buddy.

He's my friend, you know. And um but at the same time, I I think it's it's a it's a good business decision to stay out of it. Stay Why would you want to? It's like, you know, Michael Jordan is good to you. So you and Adam are good.

Oh, yeah. Well, Michael Jordan is So that AI was right that you guys are good. Well, no. Yeah, we are. But like Michael Jordan is like right. You know, rep Republicans buy shoes, too. And it's true. It's like I think why would you want to limit your audience? However, I I think it's for me it was important during the last few years to there's something more important than your comedy career or your your you know getting movies was that this culture was under attack and I believe you know being friends with Charlie Kirk was

quite an education and just you know it was indisputable that our culture and western civilization is under attack and I would just ask your uh viewers and listeners to get the book uh Douglas Murray's book War on the West, there's a there's a real attack on Western civilization. And the idea that the United States is just going to continue without our assistance uh this incredible experiment in freedom is is an illusion. We need to step up and uh and it may cost you some money. But when I think about like, well, I'm not going to probably, you know, studios don't want to hire me now because I've been so conservative. I I would say like the Bill Maher thing, I would say, hey, I've been a liberal. They moved. I didn't move. And then you realize there's an attack on the culture. It's time to step up and and protect it and and and I really feel like it really was. I mean, when they're when the Biden

administration day one, day one, first thing they did was to contact um the White House to contact the social media uh outlets, Zuckerberg and Facebook and Twitter, and demand that Robert Kennedy be censored. I mean, that's that's that's a fact. And and that just goes to show the political the politization of of of our, you know, body politic now was not one Democrat stood up and said, "Hey, that's wrong." But the only guy kind of that would step up and and go against his party is is Federman and he has a he has a brain injury. So God bless that part of his brain that died was but been a very should happen to the rest of the Democratic party.

True. But I no but I I mean that I think you have to um you have to step up and I our culture was under attack for sure. And I feel like you know the idea that they're saving democracy. They the Democrats weren't saving democracy. They just got rid of Biden because his brain didn't work and everybody knew and everybody in the media knew that his brain he was basically you know a corpse attached to a car battery for four years. and to just get rid of him and just without the vote just put Camala in. And as I said, you know, replacing Joe Biden with Camala Harris is like changing your shirt because you [ __ ] your pants, you know. So, it's pretty obvious.

Um, I'll just say this. Adam Sandler's a living legend. Respect to him. Number two, The War in the West. Douglas Murray is one of the best books I've ever I've ever read because it's so true. But to this point about what late night comics are doing with this FT Trump whole phenomenon, what I would say is it goes deeper than that because it's pretty much what's going on with half this country. Uh it's not just left to comics. The problem that we have right now is that everyone's so firmly entrenched in their sides and they have they feel like they need to defend their team. I got this great question on my neck by this kid Dylan. He's a young Republican in Iowa. He goes, "Adam, I've seen your evolution." Because I used to not be a fan of Trump whatsoever. I was uh had the the whatever Trump syndrome, Trump TDS, I had that four years ago, five years ago.

Trump told me to my face that he hated me to my face and I just laughed, you know, but I I love the guy.

But he I and now I have amazing appreciation, but he asked me this question a minute. He goes, "I've seen your evolution. Why don't you just come out and say that you're a full-on Republican now and register as a Republican in Florida? I go, I've always been an independent and I just thought like a Democrat. Now I think like a Republican and the reason that I want to stay an independent is because I want to be able to be fair and balanced in Adam. Don't you know everyone? Let me interrupt you. Is so in their echo chamber.

Let me interrupt you like you interrupted me. Adam, let me tell you something. Well, let me interrupt you. No, Adam, here's the problem with that. That is a what Adam just said is rational and completely a pro-American approach. I'm going to be an independent and vote for what makes sense. But don't you understand just saying you're an independent, the Democrats are going to throw you into the under the rightwing bus and run over you. You know, I have no fear of that because

No, no, no, but I'm telling you that. So, they're not playing fair. So just because you're saying you're an independent, if you're not 100% behind all their radical crazy [ __ ] then you're going to be thrown into that, oh, he's a right winger, just like they're the fastest. That's the thing.

So, but but I'm saying so, so you have to that's that's the area that we're in. So, you know, whether

you consider yourself a conservative or not, they're going to call you a right-winger.

Who cares? Yeah, exactly. But who cares what I'm saying that that's that's what we're dealing with. That's that's how they that's the interpretation. So, you know, the interpretation is is the is the reality that people carry with them and um is they make their own reality. Unfortunately, it's not accurate. So, we have to, you know, that that's something that needs to be tackled and gone back to, you know, to calming down. You know, where was the sympathy when Charlie Kirk got murdered? When you had people celebrating his grave, they had to, you know, so you have anybody outside your tribe doesn't get any sympathy or empathy. Uh, but people in your tribe get an overarching ridiculous amount of empathy and it was a terrible tragedy that that I I wish that ICE officer would not have shot. I really do. You know I

Let's get into that story. Let's get into that story, Rob, if you want to pull it up. So, story comes out uh protests held in Min Minneapolis after woman shot dead by US immigration agent. Rob, I I think you probably have a few different clips. Is that the protesting going on right now in Minneapolis yesterday or two days ago? So, this this story when it first came out, you know, JD Vance uh said it best. I think there's a clip on it because is there any clips that we have of the cars? Well, of course, we're not going to maybe show uh uh the main clips, but do you have any clips, Rob, to show what happened? Is this the one? Okay. So, this is the clip that we all saw.

Actually, no, this isn't the clip that we saw. The clip we saw was the other one showing the fact that the ICE agent was, you know, you know, defending himself and shooting and then this clip gets shown. Go ahead, Rob. From a different angle.

Speed. Yeah, that's real time. Boom. What are you doing? So, she drives over the ice.

She's trying. Oh, she's trying to Okay. She drives over. going to say she was in a crazed uh she was not in the right frame of mind. Number one, I would say anybody who

Rob, let me go to Vinnie first. I come to you. Go ahead. Well, and I Rob, I get where you're coming from. I just want I want everybody to know first and foremost, okay? If she hadn't been committing a crime,

she'd be alive. She would still be alive. Interfering with federal law enforcement and obstructing a federal officer is a crime under law. And let me tell you where it is. under 18 USC 1111 to federal crime to forcefully assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with any federal officer while they're performing absolutely official duties. That's number one. Absolutely. She hit five away. It doesn't take away from the tragedy. But what I want to dig into, you're 100% right.

100%. But however, you you got to know that in any tragedy, there's a confluence of of of things that combine to to set the stage for this tragedy. I mean, the fact that there's been this over overwhelming rhetoric against, you know, federal officers in this nation, this hateful rhetoric, the demonizing, the calling them Nazis and fascists, and is is creates this um this situation where people who are vulnerable will put themselves in harm's way, which is which is what happened. And it's very similar to like the social contagion which is thankfully shrinking now of transgenderism where these kids who are vulnerable and and the a high percentage of them upwards of 80% of these kids who identify as trans are vulnerable kids who are on the spectrum of autism. So you have um a social contagion there.

You had the social contagion of fear of during COVID. So you just have these people that are being manipulated through emotion to not make decisions that are in the best interest of themselves and put themselves in harm's way. So while I say I agree with you 100%, it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a tragedy and doesn't take away from the fact that that was a preventable tragedy. And I mean that. I mean, yes, he was hit and yes, he's not going to be convicted, obviously, but this is an officer that already got into a situation where he got injured by a car and had stitches in his legs and stuff from what I

dragged 300 ft by an illegal that they were trying to arrest for guess what? Assaulting a 9-year-old minor, like sexually assaulting. So that's why this guy has is by the way obvious I'm not saying it's going to make him a little on edge but first like and think if you think about it Rob

I think that guy should not be in the field after that I just do well but I mean think about he he loves his job so much that even after

he loves his job so much but I think at a certain point you have to make decisions that are that the that the individual officers don't get to make.

Let me ask you a question. Where's the accountability? I'm I'm going to pick one guy Tim Walls calling them ICE Gustapo. I'm saying that that's insane.

Yeah. And what I'm saying is but this group but that is that that is a body that is a political warfare.

No. No. But that there's no accountability for for them. How many times have they been calling these people?

Do you have the JD Vance clip? Well, I absolutely put it clearly and then Rob respond to this. Go ahead. Go ahead Rob.

Actually, no. The other Rob. Um, go ahead Rob. You go. No, I'm I'm saying you have to acknowledge the tragedy and we also um we have to be when there are citizens that are not in a right frame of mind, we have to just like in Los Angeles. I mean, this is crazy, but like literally they let people uh at Home Depot, they'll just people who stealing stuff, they let them go. Why? Because they don't want to deal with the insurance hassle if the person pretends to fall down or hurt themselves. They just don't want to do it. That's how screwed up our legal system is and the scummy attorneys that would represent them. So, uh, I think when you know that there's something like this, they have to calm their heads have to prevail. And I just it just it's it is.

So, you're saying he shouldn't have shot? I'm saying he obviously defended himself. I'm saying he should not have in my opinion. I'm not a police officer. I've never been in the armed services. I'm saying that it was a preventable that I I wish that um in situations like this, just like in Los Angeles or just like in when there's car speed chases, you got to let them go. Don't get in front of the car. And I think that's that's uh dangerous um for everybody involved. Yes. Let if there's somebody speeding, you don't you could it's it's more dangerous in a speed chase to interfere

and then than than just That wasn't a speed chase, though. It was a parked car.

She did on per which she came and set up with her wife. Her wife her wife or whatever got out of the car and she said, "But Rob, cuz I was Hold on. I was I was a a a security forces member in the United States Air Force. When it comes to that type of thing and you're doing a convoy and somebody's blocking you off, the the the fear of an ambush, meaning people coming from the side and shooting, you can't be a a stationary target." So, what she's doing, and mind you, I want to say one thing. Uh, this girl Renee Good, she was a ice watch warrior. She was trained to do exactly what she was doing, to resist, to get in their way, to blow whistles and do all that stupid stuff that she's doing. I understand 100% it's avoidable, but can I show Can I show one thing really quick, Pat? Rob, show the video of this police officer. By the way, this is a army, a military veteran from Baltimore.

This is a older video of Ammy Caprio who was run over. And by the way, this is this was on the news pad, so they're going to show it. Look at how fast this situation, she's to the side, goes from, "Hey, get out of the car to she is dead." And her audio was live of her dying on on this call. So, look how fast this happens. Go ahead, Rob.

This person in the car, they get in the car. Check this out. Boom. Done. She's dead. She's dead. So, in this situation, again, the blame goes to the Democratic party who has been pushing this rhetoric for years, Nazi, Gestapo, and everything. So, and and Rob, to be honest with you, THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED. THIS IS WHAT TIM WALTZ, THIS IS WHAT Elon Omar, this is what Gavin Newsome, when they say get in the street, get in their face, resist, take off your mask, what do you have to this body, they want their name. Now, they have it.

Yeah. They they wanted somebody to to um they wanted a martyr that they could you use for for because they don't care about people. None of those none of those none of those politicians should have let her go because by the way I'm saying look I'm saying and what they did by that officer firing and getting in front of the car gave them what they wanted. They gave them the they gave them the shift of the narrative to the unbelievable graft and corruption and fraud by the Democratic party to the tune of $900 billion dollars potentially. As Elon Musk said, it could be anywhere from 300 to 900 billion.

Literally, it could if if you take away the the corruption and the fraud from the Democratic party, it could lower our taxes. Literally, um anyone under $500,000 making that anyone 500,000 or less would pay zero taxes. That's the kind of uh corruption that Elon Musk thinks we have. Th those numbers. All I'm saying is simply this. I agree with you 100%. And the fact that there is nobody u that the same people have certain um zero empathy for an officer who's killed in the line of duty exposes them for their uh hypocrisy and and and that this is just all politics.

Let's do this. Let's listen to what JD has to say. Let's see cuz I've been trying to play this JD clip. G. Go ahead and play the clip.

I agree with JD. I was actually walking out here. Um, somebody sent me a photo of a CNN headline about what happened in Minneapolis. And this is the headline. I'm just going to read it. Outrage after ICE officer kills US citizen in Minneapolis. Well, that's one way to put it. And that is the way that many people in the corporate media have put this attack over the last 24 hours. And I say attack very, very intentionally because this was an attack on federal law enforcement. This was an attack on law and order. This was an attack on the American people. The way that the media by and large has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day. What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very off ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car 6 months ago, 33 stitches in his leg. So, you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about

somebody ramming him with an automobile? What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America. What that headline leaves out is that that woman has is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job. The media wants to tell the truth. They ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws. The president stands with ICE

thousand% agreed with everything he had to say. And it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a tragedy. And he also said it, I think he also said it's a tragedy. We have to know that a human life here uh was manipulated and has lost and all what I'm saying is absolutely the officer was defending himself. But I wish he didn't fire. And I I also think that we have to and we have to do everything we can in in a situation to not put yourself in harm's way. What she did was putting herself in harm's way. And I'm not an officer. This is just my opinion is that um we have you cannot give uh fuel to to

Tom. What are you thinking with this? You're a reasonable guy. What I think is Rob, maybe that's that's true, but let's back up a second. Who was in harm's way? The officer first was in harm's way,

and then she didn't put herself in harm's way. She suffered the consequence of interfering with a live law enforcement um engagement. That's what happened. And JD Vance is right. They want the the the mainstream media is still run by liberals that hate Trump. And as Conan O'Brien said, it's FT Trump, FT Trump. So guess what? Now they have their body. Now they have their George Floyd t-shirt. Now they have all they're saying no matter what.

They've got their George Floyd mural now. Now it's a And now it's a woman. Fantastic. Now they got a little um equal opportunity in their in their martyr martyr cast. I'm saying that correct and I think we need to support it. Sheriff in Florida came out yesterday, Pat, in the afternoon and said, "Let me just say something, folks. If you're going to interfere with law enforcement in Florida, this is exactly what you're going to have here cuz we are going to ensure that our law enforcement feel safe on the job and supported." There he is. so that they stay on the job and they don't quit or retire early because we need law enforcement to protect you the public.

We need it and the degradation and the demonization u from the left attacking uh ICE officers verbally and physically uh is is beyond disgraceful and uh and it's created this this dangerous situation. But I'm saying since we know that it's a dangerous situation, I I guarantee you that the ICE officers have to adjust accordingly because you're you're you're not and I agree with you. I I'm not disagreeing. I'm saying that you have people here or like this woman who's clearly not in a frame of mind. You got to know that they are the officer didn't know that. He doesn't know who this person he doesn't know if there's a person armed. He doesn't know if there's a person if there's there's other people that could be in the vehicle that are armed. He does not have that information. All he knows is there's somebody now impeding his job. However, all that in mind, I guarantee you the ICE officers, they have to, you know,

the they also part of that training has to be they're not dealing with rational normal people, which has to at the same time heighten their awareness and already extremely difficult job where you have

I really don't know what you're saying, Rob. Respect the demonization. I have no clue what you're saying. I'm listening to you right now trying to see officers. They have to be

get out and let the guy go and and and and have to stop the person again at another place and then let him go again and then stop him at another place. Let's play that logically. This makes zero sense to me. So feel free to push back because you're a reasonable guy. I I can't comprehend your your reasoning.

Don't be in front of the car because it can go forward. Don't be in back of the car cuz it back up.

Don't drive over a cop. Absolutely. So that's that's breaking the law. It's like saying it's like saying, "Hey, you know, when these guys are coming around coming uh crossing a border illegally, guys, let's not hurt them. Let's not like let's just tell them, please go back and do that." I mean, it's just

No, but if it's a truck that's coming over the border, get out of the way. If it's a truck coming over the border, I'm bombing the truck.

Wait, I'm blowing up the truck. Yeah. Well, I I'm being serious with you. If a truck is coming, if I'm a job of being a

stand in front of it. Yeah. blow it up and stand at the side and that's exactly what you

I agree with you. I agree. If there's a truck coming across the border, absolutely you got a fire. You got to protect your country.

I'm trying I'm trying to read. So, Adam, where are you at? You have Let me just give a different perspective if I look I'm not I'm not disagreeing with anything you guys are saying with JD Vance. I'm saying now you have to know you're dealing with mental people. You have to know you're dealing with people that are not in right frame of mind. You have to know that going in and you have to Yes, officers have to protect themselves. That comes first. But at the same time, it's I just think I guarantee you the ICE officers

Well, let me do this. Let me go to Jacob Fry and then I'm gonna come to you guys. Rob, play play a clip from Jacob Fry. Here's what he had to say. Uh uh the mayor of uh Minneapolis Minneapolis. Go ahead.

This guy's a piece of [ __ ] Oh, freaking Nobel Prize. There's little I can say again that'll make this situation better. But I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE. to ICE. Get the [ __ ] out of Minneapolis.

We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety and you are doing exactly the opposite.

Well, that guy is is a um a lunatic and we have lunatics um who are running our cities. You have you you that exposes so many things. They would rather have their city fall apart. They would rather have it overrun by people who are not citizens. They don't care about the safety of their particular citizens. It's all a political show. And that guy is a disgrace. And I think you see that. I mean, you

Adam, your thoughts? Sure. So, I'll give you a different perspective. Is anybody surprised that this is occurring in Minneapolis, Minnesota at this point?

Yeah. To me, this is just an ultimate failure of leadership. Whether it's this mayor, Jacob Frey, or Tim Walls, every major incident that we've seen in this country for the most part in the last 5 years has occurred in one city, Minneapolis, Minnesota. And this ICE thing is just the latest thing. Whether it's George Floyd, whether it's the Somalian fraud case, whether it's the BLM protest, whether it's the Catholic school shooting just a few months ago, how much fraud needs to take place in the sanctuary city for this gentleman to take a look in the mirror and say, "Maybe it's my weird, woke, weak policies that have caused this." And then ultimately, what's the reward for all this chaos in Minnesota? Let's take Tampon Tim Walls and make him almost the second most powerful person in this country. To me, Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota is the tipping point for chaos in this country.

Let me say Minnesota. I remember when I was a kid in Minneapolis when I was a young comedian and I remember um going to I remember getting it was another with another comedian. We were driving to a gig and we stopped at a gas station and they took a check from the other comedian. They take a check? How gullible are these people? You have the nicest people. I just ran into a bunch of them from Minnesota. Nice, really, really good people. I ran them to the airport and believe me, they don't want this. They don't want to be uh run over by uh people coming in from u other countries. They don't want them to to be the ones choosing their elected leaders.

They don't want crime in there. And they they they prefer ICE to come in and take out illegals. And that's that's ISIS's job. But you you you're dealing with a with a group of people and they're being manipulated by people who are not good faith actors. These are not people. This guy uh this mayor Fry, he is a bad faith actor. He doesn't have what's best in mind. He's not trying to calm down the situation. He's using political is using this as as a as a time to to drum things up to make things more difficult because it's it's just a political warfare.

That's what we're dealing with. But but but here's my thing, Rob. Where is the accountability going to go to? Because if you as a leader are if I tell you guys right now, hey Rob, go to that house and break into right now and break the law. You know who's going to get in trouble? Me. I sent you. My favorite show is the first 48. If people tell you to go somewhere like like Charles Manson, he got in trouble. He didn't kill anybody. He told people to go kill. So when's the accountability going to come to these morons? Cuz at the end of the day, let's go to the beginning.

Number one, you broke the law. The same ready for this. George Floyd, who was a scumbag drug addict who held a gun to a pregnant girl's stomach while his friends robbed the house. He, if he wasn't a dirtag, lawbreaking drug addict who was trying to pass a $20 bill at a at a at a gas station, he never meets Derek Schovin. Period. Their paths never cross. And the mental state that you're talking about about this this girl, she wasn't out of her mind. This is the the communist directive from 1943. Rob, can you play it? They they've they've brainwashed these people. They're not out of their mind. It's purposefully, Rob. It's purposeful. SO, MY POINT is

I'm saying the same thing. They're brainwashed. Let me let me finish my point, though. Where's the accountability for the person telling you to go and break the law if if if he's Tim Walls is saying go and do this, get in front of their faces, they're the Gestapo. It has to fall on you. And isn't it, Adam made a great point. It's ironic. The biggest fraud in the history of the country is happening there. Any distraction these people want, not for you to look. But this is my point. I want this is from what how old Rob this 1943 communist directive listen to how the Democratic party cuz at the end of the day Rob this all I used to call the whole party people it's not the whole party please let me finish my point these people have lost the plot they have they have no God name me one Democrat and I'm not saying be as proud as I am or as Pat or as as Tom with our faith where where are the people that believe in God where the

god-fearing Christian people that have any backbone any faith they lost Rob, it's all LGBTQ, open the border, fraud. Name me one thing that this party stands for. It's enough playing [ __ ] footing around and going, "No, there there there's some good ones. There aren't." Play, please play this, Roblau. This is the the mentality of what they do to your brains. If you're watching this and you're a Democrat, go ahead.

1943, 82 years ago, the following was in 1943, the following directive was issued from party headquarters to all communists in the United States. It read, "When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable buildups as fascist or Nazi or anti-semitic and use the prestige of anti-fascist intolerance organizations to discredit them. In the public mind, constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell." H

the association will after enough repetition become fact in the public mind. Boom. So Rob, does Tim Walls get held accountable for her life. The blood is on his hands. You can't tell people go fight, go be illegal, go break the law, and then she dies and nobody says anything to him.

Well, you have that's an incitement. Any incitement to violence is uh prosecutable. I mean, it's uh he could be prosecuted for for an incitement for violence, but you you have it's just become normalized in the Democratic party. You can just you can just go like Democrats being violent and look it up on YouTube and it's just all of them just saying get in the streets, get in their face, don't let them eat at a restaurant, don't don't give them no peace. So, you have it. It's just, you know, it is uh it's evil and it's awful and it's uh it's something, but how do you fight it back? I mean, you have to first of all, we're we're in such a bad sh We're such I mean, as far as the prosecutions are, we're in bad shape.

When I go to my local Walmart in Arizona, and um there's a lot of things that are behind glass and they told me they had 1.2 this one particular store in Scottsdale, Arizona, $1.2 million of theft in 2024. And that's and I said that's ridiculous. And they said what's down from 3 point uh no from 2.5 million in 2023. So eventually they said we're going to put everything behind glass. So at what point do you when you do not um have the police arrest and have prosecutors and this is Arizona pretty purple state conservative legislator not governor of senators unfortunately but you have so we have to make a shift. We we this cannot continue. This is not the you know the good times of the 70s ' 80s and '90s. I didn't realize that like the whole culture would be under attack like this. Yes. If you were an incitement to um to violence, you need to be prosecuted. But you have an entire uh Democratic party that is feeding off of

that and they're raising money off it. And what it's doing is it's creating brainwash. And I know we you you have a problem with me saying mental problems. This brainwashed and mental problem is they get wh they get whipped up into this let's just go to another term. They're being emotionally um driven uh to do things that are dangerous and that's exactly what's happening. So but but at the end of the day like the police officers and the ICE officers specifically they got to look out for their own safety. Absolutely.

And all I said and all I mean was like there there has to be uh protocol and there is protocol. Uh you got to protect yourself but also just you know it's it's a damaged person and I just wish it wouldn't have happened. I don't know all the facts on the ground.

Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story. Next story. Marco Rubio making moves on Greenland as Trump extremely serious about buying island valued at $3.3 billion. Sources say Rob, I think you got a clip on this as well.

$3.3 billion. That's a lot of money for ICE. I That's That's That's actually not a lot of money if you think about it, right?

So, not for the resources that they have. Remember, we bought Alaska for 7.2 million and they called it the dumbest deal of all time until later on America found gold and oil and then they said, "Oh my god, what a great deal." So, Rob, if you got this clip, go ahead and play it. Go for it.

Mr. Secretary, on Denmark, why is the administration not taking Denmark's offer to discuss the situation in Greenland? And

oh, I'll be meeting with them next week. But will you take military intervention off the table?

I'm not here to talk about Denmark or military intervention. I'll be meeting with them next week. We'll have those conversations with them then. And uh but I'm not anything further to add to that today.

Well, I think it's a simple um I think it's a a treaty that we can have. Let me go to Tom first and then I'll come to you. Go ahead, Tom. Well, I think what people are are missing here is uh we have an aggressive Russia that's in the middle of a war and they're and and this is the part this isn't too far below the surface, no pun intended, but their major submarine base and their naval is on the north side. Greenland becomes a strategic listening post and NATO has been quietly talking about Greenland as a strategic place to um you know observe Russia and to have military installation there as part of northern northern Atlantic. Remember NATO North Atlantic this is the area and so Greenland has been a topic for a while. The Brits and the um uh Germans have been all talking about who's going to foot the bill when Greenland comes up. There's big bills in NATO. And guess what Trump has been doing? He's been

forcing Europe, you know, Pat, he forced Europe to pay their fair share of those NATO bills,

make everybody increase slowly. Yes, that's exactly. And so what's going on in Greenland if I the US strategically below the surface wants to turn Greenland into Puerto Rico. It'll have its own independence in this, but it's going to be like Guam uh American Samoa and Puerto Rico. That's what's going to be there. And then it's going to get military installations there. And then second, China is already there cutting contracts to dig up half of Greenland to get to rare earth minerals which belong to in the eyes of Washington to a a security narrative on a global security basis. You don't want China there doing that. So it solves China and the rare earth minerals. It provides protection.

you figure out who's going to pay for Greenland and the NATO protection which is going to be us and the news media wants to call it an invasion like we're going to take it over like China is about to take over Taiwan. No, that's not what's going on here. It starts with security and keeping China out of our backyard. That's where it starts.

Adam, where you at with this? To me, this is such a Trump move. I can just see Trump sitting in a meeting one day and they're being like, "Trump, what are your uh thoughts on green?" It's like it's green. I love green. It's money land. I love real estate. Uh it's the world's largest island. I don't know if you know that. It's the world's We're going to make Greenland great again. I just see Trump being obsessed with Greenland. Yes, there's geopolitical notions with this. Yes, there's uh assets there. Yes, there's minerals there. Whatever it may be strategically, I think just knowing Trump at the lowest common denominator, he's like, "Love me some Greenland." And he's now obsessed with Greenland. That's my assumption.

Rob, your thoughts. All right. Um, I got a couple things to say. I think that Denmark has to negotiate something that benefits um the people of Greenland and I think that they could absolutely I I just think in the same way I think Canada could have a good negotiation. Um, but it was specifically with Greenland, it is a uh I was way way more dovish than any of this stuff. But I think when you think geopolitically and um you have to work out some sort of situation. So you cannot have China taking over Venezuela in that oil. they just can't do it and expect to still you know have um you know to to to have your dominance in this region and you know and we need we need to do that. I I I would never have thought I would have gotten there and the same thing with Greenland. They have to work out some accommodation but they will and it's a treaty at the end of the day. They'll come up to Denmark and they'll have some

kind of treaty. It's just that Trump's uh comes off to these people as uncou and bombastic in the way he talks and and I I think if it was like Clinton, they would have figured out a deal already. You know, seriously, because you know, the Democrats and it's all the media that just, you know, just like how that that the headline that JD Vance read, they manipulate. They just manipulate. It's just political warfare and of of uh you know, to undermine these this conservative this anti-establishment president. So I I do think that that um we're not going to have what we'll say as far as Greenland's concerned they have to have a treaty and if they won't do the treaty. I think that there's another way to to make that work. I I I do think though if you look at our constitution it has to be Congress has to approve any military action no matter what. That still has to be through Congress.

Unfortunately after 9/11 the the Congress has has has just given all the powers and we know we no longer have a legislature. We just have uh an emperor that we elect.

Can I get your opinion on this? Because you know, we saw what the late night comics did. They said they're just a diversion. Him going after Maduro is just a deflection after the Epstein files. If you're putting yourself in Trump's shoes, you have so much going on in the world. You just did the M East peace deal. Maduro, where is Greenland legitimately on his list of priorities in your opinion?

Yeah, I I don't know where it's on his list. Here's what I will tell you. If you if you study history, America for the longest time, we were all about expansionism. So we had the 13 colonies originally and then we buy Louisiana for $7.2 million from Napoleon because he was fighting everybody in Europe. So then America doubles in size. Rob, if you want to pull up the map when we buy Louisiana for $7.2 million

and then from there we buy Florida for 5 million bucks for nothing. Literally, we buy Florida for 5 million bucks. And then we go to the only one that we had to go to war for land was against Mexico, which we got California,

Arizona, New Mexico, all of that. Texas actually wasn't war. Texas became its own country from 1836 to 1845. And they even had their own embassy. If you pull up Rob Embassy of Texas in Louis in uh London and France, type in Texas embassy London, France, and go to images. If you go to images,

uh if you go to images, take a look at this. This is Texas's uh embassy right there. Rob, click on the one you had right there. On the first one you had. No, no, on the first one you had, Rob.

On the first one you had, Rob, you had on that on that. Rob, you just had Yeah. Zoom in on that one if you can.

Yeah. Texas. Um, that is their embassy in uh London. And we had it also in France. So, Texas chooses to come in and be part of the union. But we had to pay uh Mexico $3.4 million. We collect, we rolled the debt and we paid Mexico 15 million bucks and then Hawaii was known as their own kingdom across a lot of different countries. Hawaii comes in and we're expanding. And then the last biggest expansion uh uh president that we had was a guy named James Poke.

James Poke draws a line which he was brilliant by the way. If you see James Pul's line, Rob, can you type in James Poke borderline Cuba Mexico? If you just type in James Pulk border line, Cuba, Mexico, go to images, you'll see it. Here's what he said should be the line. Go a little bit lower. Uh, yeah, you can just use that one, Rob. The one you have up, make it bigger. His line was Mexico needed to be a part of America. Cuba needed to be a part of America. And he was expanding. And then Congress is like, "No, no, no.

If we bring Mexico to be a part of it, we're going to get too many Catholics and his and we're going to have to give them. it's going to confuse the nationalists that we have in America. So then afterwards, World War I happens

and after World War I when that takes place, you know, everybody was like, "This is going to be the last war. We're not going to have another war after this one and then we're going to be fine." And they're like, "Wait a minute, we became isolationists. We kind of like look, don't mind anybody's we became a little bit scared. God forbid next war happens because some some of these things that we had, we didn't have a lot of weapons. We were not a strong military yet." Then comes the next phase which is by far the phase that uh is is uh not the good phase. Post 1950 World War II when that comes we decide to intervene in different ways. So we go do coups or sanctions or proxy wars and that's what we start we start poking and getting involved in too many elections.

Communism though. Well manipulation because of the whole comm. Let me finish Rob. So this is the whole thing because of communism. But then guess when that happens after 1950. Guess what started 1947? The CIA started in 1947. So we start. So now since Pulk the first time ever we're getting a president that's thinking about expansionism without killing anybody. It's like he just hey we're going to go in Maduro's out. Here's what we're doing. 30 to 50 million. Quite frankly if you're American how do you think America became America? You think all these lands were just handed to us? You know hey let me have this land take it. No, you go and say. So to me, a part of me is thinking saying if if if Trump can go and say Panama Canal, we're doing the steel China. You're not getting involved.

Period. I'm putting this here. It's going to come through. And if you don't, I'm going to come out here and take all the oil from you from Venezuela. If you want to come to the Western Hemisphere, this whole Monroe doctrine, we're going to turn into a Donro doctrine. The Western Hemisphere's priority is ours. You guys go deal with everything else. I like that he's e expanding and thinking long term because forget this term go next president and think if China decides to do the next co what is the next co thing that China could do so imagine if one they shut down the Panama Canal and food and supplies is not coming here two China has all these uh minerals that you need if they have control of that and we don't have so now he goes and says no no we need Greenland because I can't the way he's sequencing this out if people are not following this. So, I support this. I know a lot of people are saying

this is not what I voted for. This is not what I did this. I voted for this. I like the fact that he's playing offense and thinking 40 years and the more we study history, you'll realize long-term this is going to protect Americans. Is this going to be beneficial for everybody around the world? Maybe. But I know it's going to be beneficial for America. So, I support it. Right. Well, if you take a look at Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, those were those places are not better off with American intervention.

I will say that uh and um that was mentioned by uh Congressman Thomas Massie, who I I like a lot. I know Trump doesn't like him now, but he's wrong about uh Venezuela. And I'll tell you simply this, all those countries had one thing in common. uh they had uh tribes who hated each other and when the dominating force whether it was Saddam Hussein whatever was taken out of power then it became this killing field and that's that's what happens when America interferes in that region. I will say it's not going to happen in Venezuela um because you have Catholics there.

Here's what you never hear. Hey, a a group of uh of Christians went on a train the other day and stabbed a bunch of people. You don't hear that. So, I I think it's um uh you know, we have to be wary of just uh going in and um replacing uh other leaders around the world. Uh if this guy's a drug pin, if it'll be brought out uh in in u in court. I mean, I think the I think the people who are protesting against this are these white liberals, but anybody who has any V Venezuelan uh experience and any Venezuelan, they're all celebrating for a reason. And um I have to listen to that because I don't know as much as them.

Well, I know a lot of Venezuelans in Miami and not one Yeah. is upset about Maduro. And by the way, that goes for anyone that has any affiliation with Latin America. My Colombian friends are happy about this. my Mexican friends about this. Anyone who hates communism and fascism and socialism advocates for this. I'll say one thing that I agree with you on. We don't understand that side of the world as as well as they thought they did. Yeah. Something that I always think about is that every country wants the same two things, peace and prosperity.

So in Venezuela, they want that. In Greenland, they want that. Mexico, they want that. On that side of the world,

they don't want that. They don't want peace and prosperity. Global domination. A lot of what they want is jihad. So we went in there trying to give them peace and prosperity and democracy. They're like, "Not so fast. We're jihadists. We're trying to take over the world in our frame of worldview." So to me, it's completely different what we tried to do toppling these regimes decades ago versus what's happening.

I can tell you about Thomas Massie and some of these guys on on uh um not being not wanting to be involved. And I get that. I get the whole conversations of not wanting to do that. Um but I don't mind expanding I don't mind thinking long term. I don't mind uh strategizing our next moves. I totally get that part of I will not want military to go into Greenland like Ran Paul. Is this the clip with Rand Paul saying? Go ahead and play this clip where and Tom I'm going to come to you next on this one. Go ahead Paul. Go ahead. Uh G,

it won't happen under my Today your name is G just so you know that kind of military takeover of Greenland. What I can tell you though is if you want to purchase Greenland the best way would be to try to have goodwill with the people. So, first it would probably require a vote of the people to be independent of Denmark, which I think the people of Greenland are inclined to do, and then it would have to be some sort of offer of something that makes it better to be part of the United States. We have acquired territory. I mean, half the United States came to us through the Louisiana purchase. Alaska came to us through a purchase, but you didn't get to those purchases like any deal or diplomacy by insulting your opponent.

You get there by actually trying to decomposit. So, he's Tom, your thoughts on this? So getting back to what you were talking about about u American expansion. Yeah. That's not about military intervention and and and blood on the floor. Not at all. The most Americans don't know about a couple things because our news media refuses to talk about it. But the GIUK gap, some people call it the Juke gap. GIUK, which stands for Greenland, Iceland, UK, is a gap in the North Atlantic that is strategically important and over the last five years has had tremendous increase in Russian sub activity. And so in September of last year, what was Operation Arctic Light? That wasn't in the headlines. It was a major naval exercise by uh NATO that was on the coast of Iceland, the west coast of Iceland and the east coast of there it is Arctic light major military exercise because NATO came to Denmark and said,

"Man, we got to do this this exercise here. We're going to do some testing. We want to be below the ice in the North Sea and we want to um have um submarine listening installations. There's things we want to And Denmark said, "Well, I'm a little light on cash this week. I assume you guys are going to pay for it." And there it is. The United States, France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden were part of the the the bankroll for this. Then let's go back to May. You know what Operation Dynamic Mongoose was? It was another North Atlantic activity because of increased Russian naval activity.

NATO has been up there looking over this for a while. And then the Chinese are pulling in to get minerals. I support this expansion because there's a security element and an expansion element. And let me quote Marco Rubio. The one quote he gave that wasn't on television apparently. He said, "Look, we're eager to build lasting commercial relationships that benefit Americans and the people of Greenland and Denmark. Our common adversaries are increasingly active in the Arctic. It's a huge concern that the United States and Denmark and the NATO allies share. So if the America expands it, I support what Trump is doing. Look how many parts of this get solved by Trump showing leadership on a world stage and doing this. I want to give Trump a little credit for one thing. Uh I was very frustrated with Trump and especially in his first term when the rhetoric and the bombasticness of his words were going to

win so big you're going to get sick of winning and then we weren't winning and it was so easy to be like what now at this point we are winning and his actions are speaking louder than his words. also say another thing. The the challenge that he had in his first administration in 2016, he had all these bootlickers around him that wouldn't say talk back to him. Look what Mike Pence does. Mike Pence was probably the worst VP for not even counteracting maybe anything that Trump did.

Look at the two people closest to Trump now. You have Marco Rubio who was a foe and was deemed little Marco that is now maybe the greatest secretary of state we've seen in our lifetime. and number two, a Trumphating VP named JD Vance, who is a fighter and advocate for him. So, in my opinion, Trump is working with people that may or may not he would have aligned with in his first uh time in office and they're basically helping him win so big that we're not getting tired of winning.

Well, look at Elon Musk as well. I mean, they were they had their um little fight and uh they're back and had dinner this week. Look,

he's not afraid to to meet with people and work with people. And the pre President Trump has uh has done an exceptional job, I believe. And I I'm I'm shocked at how how uh I I just can't believe that that Iranian bombing uh success. I mean, I I'm against bombing um anybody in the Middle East. And I I think um I just he knows more than I do. They know more than I

bombing anybody in the Middle East. Well, and I'm against just, you know, unilaterally just going without the Congress's approval and bombing. I think that's But as far as it seemed to be effective to take out, you know,

everyone says that, Rob, and I want to get your opinion every time that we need to do something, we need to have people that can't agree on anything agree on something about massive magnitude. That to me is counterproductive for our country.

Well, in our constitution, you have to have the Congress decides go going to war. for going to war. But is a single bombing a war? What what constitutes a war? Do what we

bombing constitutes if you if you're going to kill people that constitutes war. If it's not

people are then we have a war on our street every single day. We do. Okay. Let me just tell you this thing. As far as this is really interesting and I think PBD, you're going to like this. And I think this is uh as far as the rare earth minerals, China uh cutting us off, potentially cutting us off is a national defense issue. However, there is an answer to this and this is like to me absolutely incredible. There's a chemist James Tour T Our R.

We know James Tour the nanotechnologist with losing using flash jewel technology can make and you guys know him. This guy is is is the potential answer for uh for making uh getting these rare earth u minerals out of recycling old electronics and and taking ash from coal burning plants and then uh you know basically putting between these two a hot coils like a toaster and then that turns it and then when you put uh um is it chloride on it and uh or chlor it's

chlorophyll then you have then you're able to make these things at a lower temperature to get more of these rare earth minerals. And and this is the answer. We don't need China. And truthfully, we can don't even need uh to the the rare earth minerals in in Greenland. We can just you can make it right here. And and I think I'm going to go out to that plant in March and check it out. Uh, and I I think that's the the answer and that's what I have.

Well, until that day when they figured that out, uh, and we're expanding and protecting it, uh, to make sure long-term we're good. But I love that there's ideas like this and I think that's going to be happening. But somebody online proposed uh a great idea about how to get Greenland and it's straight up out of Game of Thrones type of stuff and they said why don't we just have Baron Trump marry Princess Isabella of Denmark and Greenland is given to America

as thou repayment. So not a bad idea. I just don't know if that's his type or not. She's

not bad looking. But we'll see. I mean that's not what your country can do for you. What can you do for your country Trump? We need you buddy. I think it's a sac it's a sacrifice that I think he should make.

It's a sacrifice that he should make. And by the way, just now we want to go into Iran.

Yeah. Okay. Just now, if we want to go into Iran, story just came in. A tweet from Kamei uh 40 minutes ago. Our enemies don't know Iran. In the past, the US failed due to their flawed planning. They too, today too, their flawed scheming will cause them to fail again. Okay, so that's Kame. Now, keep in mind,

I don't know if he's in the country still. No, we don't know that. And he says, "God willing, God will bring the feeling of victory to the streets of the hearts of all the Iranian people very soon." So, he's been tweeting left and right. Today, like the past, the US is wrong in its calculation about Iran. Today, the Iranian nation is even more equipped and armed than that day before the revolution. Both our spiritual strength and hard conventional weapons can't be com compared to what we had before. By the way, he's tweeted like seven eight 10 times this morning. The Iranian people will not tolerate the herlings of foreign powers. Okay, so why don't we do this? Question for you and Peshkan. Why did you turn off the internet yesterday?

Rob, if you want to go to the tweet um of just go to my Twitter account, Rob, you don't even need to go to a different place. Yeah, right there. So, zoom in a little bit on the bottom the chart to show to him. This is the internet in in Iran completely shut down as of yesterday. So Kame and Peskan, why did you turn it off? Why is that turned off? Number came in right now. 50 plus people have been killed, died in Iran. Now some are saying it's in the hundreds. When you talk to people who are Iranian, nobody knows, but there's a lot of different things that are being talked about. And on top of that, yesterday I believe Reszo Pali Rob, if you want to pull up his Twitter account, there was a story by a guy named Eli who tweets out, I send it to you, Robin, in your uh text. There is a tweet by Eli, Rabbi, I send it in your text. There's a tweet by a guy named Eli that said yesterday Resza Palvi was going to meet with

Donald Trump. So that was a meeting that came out. I say they're going to have a meeting. uh at the beginning the bottom tweet Rob if you can just click on the bottom tweet this was going viral breaking Iran's crown prince is going to Mara Lago to meet with uh uh the president two hours later after this goes viral the same guy retweets and says correction good for him crown prince Raza Palavi will hold a meeting at Mara Lago but he is not scheduled to meet with Trump and then yesterday Hugh Hewitt asks the president a question of whether He'd be willing to meet with Resa Pali. And here's what the president had to say. Go ahead, Rob.

Happen. Would you meet with Crown Prince Padlavi Padli who is the heir to the constitutional monarchy? He doesn't want to rule. He would be a, you know, a symbolic ruler like King Charles.

Well, I've watched him and he's seems like a nice person, but I'm not sure that it would be appropriate at this point to do that as president. I think that we should let everybody go out there and we see who emerges. I'm not sure necessarily that I it would be an appropriate thing to do.

Okay. So, he doesn't want to meet with them. Now, in the last week in a Wall Street Journal interview, Resza Pal said that we need no help from us. The Iranians are going to be able to pull this off by themselves. And I said, if that's the case, your father didn't go and become a king without any intervention. He needed help. You know that the world knows that that people got involved to get him in there because they wanted Mosad out. So that's his famous line at the Wall Street Journal which a lot of Iranians were furious with. We don't need a single boot of your military on the ground in Iran. Got criticized hardcore by his own people.

He flips. Now in every tweet he posts, Trump is in the tweet. Rob, if you can go to one of Resza Paler's tweets where he says, "I am grateful that the president uh uh I send you that tweet as well, Rob." Uh but if you just want to go to his account, you'll see it. Yeah, if you just go to his account, go a little bit lower. Not this one. Uh it is

No, not that one. This is Okay. Go to That's a respawn, which we'll get to you in a minute. Go a little bit lower right there. Rap. If you can click on that one, show more. The one above it. Okay, you can you can use that one as well. It says, "I want to thank the leader of the free world, President Trump, for reiterating to his promise to hold the regime to account." So, Resza, what does that mean? Do you want intervention or you do not want intervention? So, now you're flip-flopping. And by the way, I want you to know, you know, if you're going to pull it off, pull it off. It is time for others, including European leaders, to follow his lead and break their silence and act more decisively in support of the people. Now the one thing that we do know is Netanyahu's met with RP many times. They had a picture. So Israel definitely is supportive of Resa Pal. But if you go in a previous tweet,

Rob, he says another thing about Trump. Uh go above it. Go above it right there. Click on that one. Show more. I appreciate President Trump as a leader once again for emphasizing the necessity of now is the time for others to go back up to the recent tweet that he just had up. He just had a recent tweet that came up like 23 minutes ago. Keep That's the one right there. Mr. President, this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support, and action. Last night, you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets uh uh facing down live bullets. Today, they are fa Rob, can you please zoom in a little bit? My eyes are like 47 years old.

Today, they are facing not just bullets, but a total communication blackout. No internet, no landlines. Kame fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and will help uh of your powerful promise to support protesters has threatened the people of the streets with a brutal crackdown and he wants to use his blackout to murder these young heroes. I've called the people to the streets to fight for their freedom and to overwhelm the scrutiny security forces with sheer numbers. Last night they did that. Your threat to this criminal regime also kept the regime thugs at bay. By time is of uh by time is of the uh essence. The people will be on the streets again in an hour. I'm asking you to help. You have proven and I know you are a man of peace and a man of war. Please be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran. Make up your mind.

I know that's very Let me just finish this up. Make up your mind. So, do you want intervention or not? Now, let me give you the other problem you're facing. And by the way, some of the people online that are like, "Well, Pat supports MEK." Let me just say this flat out. I had a call yesterday with a higherups about MEK. This is what I learned about MEK to all the people that are talking about MEK MEK MEK. So MEK is MEK is somebody that was previously pro- Ki and then they went and helped Saddam Hussein. It's like Marxism meets, you know, jihadist. uh uh you know uh uh uh Islamist combined together. They're like a I don't even know if I would say AOC meets Mam Dani of what they're doing. I don't even think she's good for Iran at all. But that's a name that somebody that's out there. Let me tell you what I'm looking for for some of the people that are wondering if I'm paid by MEK.

One minute. So funny. I saw two tweets. One tweet said I'm paid by Qatar. The other tweet said I'm paid by uh u me and six months ago they said I got paid by Israel. So who the hell am I getting paid by? Right? I'm not, you know, we're not taking money from anybody, but this the reality to the Iranian people and specifically to Resalabi. Very important for you. Very, very important. Pay attention to this. I I contacted Khi this morning. Rob, can you pull up the Koshi numbers on who Koshi sees as the next leader for Iran? Okay. So, can you zoom in, please? Next leaders for Iran.

If you go a little bit lower with the list of names and click more, they have Mojab Kamei at 25% which means it's going to be another Ki.

Oh god. Then they have Goldson Hussein Moseni 23%. Then have Hass Hassan Kumeni 19%. Who do you not see on there?

You do not see Resa Pali on there. No. So I contacted Khi and I said we need to add Resa Pal to this list. And Iranians, for those of you guys that are in America, this is what the world is looking at nowadays. Decisions are being made by Kouchi, okay? For you guys to go out there and sit there and say, "Wait a minute. How come he's not on there?" By the way, Narza is not even on this list, but Reza Palab is not on this list. So the people that are betting are saying, "We don't believe it's going to be him." But I do believe he has a shot. Here's the screw-up. I would have gladly have said this priv privately, but he's forcing me to say all this stuff publicly to him and all the Iranians. I cannot believe, you know, and all this other stuff. Listen, we want to see this happen. Okay? We would like to see this happen. I wish he had competition. There literally is no competition in Iran that's going up

against RP. I wish there was. This is why he's so soft. He needs competition. He needs somebody to poke him. He needs somebody to disrupt him. He needs somebody to wake his ass up. And I'm willing to play that card because there's no other candidate. Not Nargas, not any of these other guys that would be good for the Iranian people. But Reza Palvi, pay very close attention. And I'm going to give you a case study of somebody to watch. Venezuela. Maduro was taken. When he was taken, everybody thought it was going to be Maria Corina Machado. What did he do? He says no. He put Maduro's VP in there reporting to Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio is more about intervening. Jay Dance is not. Watch what Maria Corina Machado did. Pay very close attention cuz you suck at diplomacy. Resa Palvi, you absolutely suck at diplomacy. So, I'm going to give you this message and I'll be the guy that's pushing you around a

little bit and I can be the enemy gladly. I'm comfortable with it. It doesn't bother me. All these messages and videos you guys make, you're comical to me because you're so worried about, god forbid, somebody says something to this man that is going to be a little bit too sensitive. You don't talk to him this way, I will gladly talk this way and you can say whatever you want to say. Nothing is going to happen here. I'm going to be comfortable giving this message. Maria Karina Machado, the worst thing that happened to her to be the leader of uh Venezuela was when she won the Nobel Peace Prize. The day she wanted, she knew, look how wise she is.

He knew if I have to exchange this Nobel Peace Prize to help Venezuela be free, screw this Nobel Peace Prize. I want Venezuela to be free. And you know what she just said? She says, "I want to fly out to go meet with the president to hand him over the Nobel Peace Prize." And then the president has asked this question. Is this the one rap? Is this the short segment? I don't want to go through the whole 7 minute one. Sean Hannity asked a question and says she offered to give you the Nobel Peace Prize. What would you do about it? If you can play this clip, please go for it.

Let me ask you about Maria Corino Mashado. I've had her on TV this week. Yeah, she's a very nice person.

Okay. She won the Nobel Peace Prize. When she accepted that Peace Prize, she dedicated it to you. She said to me this week both on TV and radio,

brilliant, that she wants to give the Nobel Prize, her Nobel Peace Prize, the people matter more to liberating her country.

Um, in 2023, she won over 92% of the vote to be the leader of the opposition. Maduro kept her off the ballot.

Um, do you have any plans to meet with her? And would you accept the Nobel Prize she wants to hand to you? Well, I understand she's coming in next week sometime and I look forward to saying hello to her and I I've heard that she wants to do that. That would be a great honor.

I did put out eight wars, eight and a quarter because you know Thailand and Cambodia started going at it against

I'll put the list. So, it's you can pause it right there. You can pause it right there. So remember, look, look, look at the diplomacy and the wisdom of Maria Karina Machado, who is like, "Why the hell would you give me the Nobel Peace Prize? This man prevented eight wars. You're giving it to me." She's wise. She says, "I would much rather give it to you." Because she knows she's going to need his help. I want to applaud you, Resa Palabi. You've been more diplomatic the last four or five days since I called you out on reaching out to the Trump's camp. And apparently you've been trying to get a hold of their camp. You're taking the right approach. But just keep in mind how she played. That is the best. You are the luckiest man alive to have a case study right now of Venezuela taking place that is a very similar story to Iran. Make sure whoever's in your ear.

You're making the right next few moves. You're going to need his help. This nonsense article you did with Wall Street Journal, I hope nobody ever reads it again of we don't need anybody's help. you've shifted cuz you're paying close attention. But if you take this next move properly and you go to the man and you're respectful with him, he comes and help you out, you have a standing chance. I don't know what that role is going to be. I'd like to see you be on couch so other people can vote for it. But according to the people that bet in Las Vegas, they don't believe you're winning. Iranians go on Khi on that.

Rob, can we put that link below for Kowi because the world is seeing this kind of stuff to see who they're going to be rooting for. An FYI, go to another report on Kali Rob. The one that says which leaders are about to fall. Watch this, folks. This is to the Iranians. This is very good for you to see. Watch this one. Zoom in a little bit, Rob, if you can. Who did he say is going to go leaders that are going to be out in 2027? Can Can you put more Rob on the bottom so the names go lower? Click more sent. Watch this. Look who's all the way at the top.

Wow. Kame is number one at 60%. above everybody. Kier Starmer, Miguel Diaz Canel Netanyahu Zalinski Orban he's above it all. So Iranians around the world, if you're watching this, my priority is for you to be free. I'd like to come back and visit first. To the people that are in RP's ear, encourage him to pay very close attention to how wise of a decision Maria Karina Machado made. She didn't play this ego thing. We don't need Trump's help and he's making the moves. If you don't, you're hurting your own people. The Iranians need Trump. You don't have a military to protect them. Yes, they came out. That's great. But you're going to need uh Trump's help to be able to help you out with this next one that's taking place.

Respectfully, what PBD? What what what kind of help are you talking about? Uh it it listen, what kind of help is the following? You threaten somebody right now. I say, I swear to God, if you say anything, I'm going to hit you. Okay you're

say that. I hear me out. say there's two threats. Whose threat do you think carries more weight? Yours or Jon Jones?

Uh I I don't threaten people. That's not the question though. The question is whose threat carries more weight? Yours or Jon Jones?

Jon Jones, obviously. No [ __ ] Right. So Jon Jones has got more threat. So in here,

I don't think that that's a proper analogy. But I think it's it's a proper analogy for the following reason.

What would be what would be and I'm telling you I'm answering your question with a question. To me, what I'm saying is with Iran is Resa Palab's threat mean nothing to

Kame. Nothing. Kame looks at Resa Palabi and laughs at him. Kam looks at Resa Pal. You're a little boy. You've never had a job in your life.

But Kam looks at Trump and says that's not a guy I want to mess with. Kam fears Trump.

He does not fear Resa Palvi. Anytime you're in this kind of a position, just like Maria Karina

Machado, just like a a Reza Palvi, just like these guys, you have to sit there and say, I'm going to need some kind of leverage from somewhere. Not even if it's somebody that fears us. I can get things done for my people.

So, you're talking leverage. You're not talking about I'm talking about specific military action.

Talking about go attack and send troops over there. No, not at all. But just the thought of the person knowing

because when Trump threatens and he did what he did to Kazam Solmani, Trump's threats are not lightweight threats. He has a reputation. Sometimes when you build that reputation up as a person that when you say you're going to do something, you do it. That's all you need.

Okay. All right. I'm just asking. I I will say though we have to be you know we I just think um if you go back to the shaw of Iran and how he was pushed out because Iran was getting at that time 16% of the oil profits in 1952 from uh the predecessor to British petroleum and then when they said well we want to um we want more and then the Brits said no and they said well can we at least look at the books to see if we're getting 16% % then they said no and then um they asked for a million dollars from Truman to um the Brits to overthrow Mosedc because Mosedc at that point nationalized the oil. Um then he went to Eisenhower and said can we get and then Eisenhower said yes and then they sent a um you know a paid mob in front of the presidential palace and then they uh and then they that didn't really work and then they sent two and then you know Mosedc had to jump over the they burned it down. Mosedc had

to jump over the fence and then you had 26 years of the Shaw of Iran and during that time the secret police um you know we can't I mean I would I would suggest that they not have that repeat of that because what it did was it set up you know a similar thing to happen where people were if you could uh where anybody who was the opposition

I don't think you follow the podcast do you you don't you you probably don't follow the talking that's that's that's the history that I know

you said right there is that you don't want a constitutional monarchy to return to Iran.

No, I'm saying that I don't want a secret police underneath the monarchy to return.

You're talking about Savak is what you're talking about. Okay. So then that's But here's what you have to

But I'm saying look, I I don't mind a a you know, a monetary, you know, sorry, a monarchy that would support a constitutional republic of some sort. Absolutely. I don't want a return of Savak. You're absolutely right. I don't

No. And and by the way, just so you know that we uh uh here are not about going returning to constitutional monarchy. I'd like to see a republic. I'd like to see a democracy. I'd like to see something like that. But by the way,

see the Iranian people decide that for sure. But also when you when you talk about Savak,

yeah, you know what Savvak is? Yeah. It's a secret police. So Savvak is MI6. Savv is CIA. Savvak is MSAD. So, but but but the but the part about Savach that you have to think about is the way you look at Savv is what Iranians in the Middle East and the world thinks about CIA.

Sure. No. Yeah. So, so to us like you know we have in our CIA when we go look at the history of ours with with economic hitman we would go to other countries who had resources and say hey you're going to take this debt from us. You're going to do business with us or or else we're going to kill you. These are documented meetings that we had with world leaders in the past.

Yeah. Yeah. And so that's that's Savvak. I know it's it's always very uh radicalized people and it set up the situation for the Kmeni. So I'm saying let's not do a repeat of that. The Iranian people let them decide.

What happened with Resa Palab at the end is he got soft at the end because he allowed the the 3,000 political prisoners when Jimmy Carter's like release them all. That ended up being Hezbollah laws that ended up being the ISIS. that ended up being all those guys when they

I'm talking about the 20 respectfully PBD if I can call you that. No, respectfully, I think the 26 years of of u really not allowing any political opposition to his reign created that kind of tension and that kind of that's a fair argument that that's fair argument for that. Yeah. So, and I think at the end of the day, I mean, you're a rational person who wants what's best for the Iranian people. And that is to your credit, and I think we all do, but I think it's it's important to recognize in the past just like what's what's happening now. We're recogn I think you're having not a revolution in this country, you're having a counterrevolution to some of the lunacy policies that we've had like opening up 10, you know, the border to millions of people just to simply

But if I have to say this respectfully, yeah, if I have to choose Muhammad Resa that was still there and let's just say he never fell in 79 and Savak was still Savak. Let's say Savak is still around till today. If I have to choose what Muhammad Resa Palabi did with Savak

and then later on say his son right now would be the king of Iran resi who he's not versus whati IRGC did to the world in the Middle East 100 out of 100 times I choose Muhammad Rasha Palavi and following his son Raza Palavi not not 80 out of 100 times 100 out of 100 times your And by the way, just so you know, if Muhammad Razar Sha Pali was still, he's obviously at he died. He had health issues, but say his son follows his lead and is close to his dad. 9/11 never happens. So 9/11 doesn't happen. Those 3,600 people that were working in the World Trade Center, they're still around. They're still going to their families. They're still going and spending time with their kids.

They're still seeing their parents. They're still able to enjoy the American dream. They're still able to do that. That was due to the fall of the Iranian Revolution. Mohamad Resalevi as much [ __ ] as everybody from the left, right and and center gives him, he kept the Middle East safe. There was no to little wars in the Middle East when he was the king of Iran. Now you can call it Savak, you can call it this, you can call it that. And by the way, even him in interviews said that Savvak used to do certain things.

Even him with uh uh Mike Wallace said, "We used to torture, but not anymore." He said that in interviews. So you're right, they did some of those things.

Well, I mean, if we just look at the interventionist policies of the United States, one of the consistent things that happens PBD is that we seem to replace uh secular leaders and they get replaced with this Muslim extremist. Well, extremist, I'm saying Muslim, you know, Islamists who actually follow what the Quran says. I mean, there's there's no such thing as moderate Islam. That doesn't exist. So, but I'm saying so the but this that's why I don't think uh I know Venezuela will not be the same because if you take a look at the other presidents you know of of intervention Panama and Grenada Grenada every year has like a holiday for for you know commemorating the invasion of Granada and Panama. So, I think that you're going to have a very similar situation.

And I think we have to be careful um you know u that um for Mexico that's leaning socialistic and I I think what has made Mexico uh which is such an incredible country with such amazing people, lovely people, is that is that they've been imprisoned and tortured by, you know, for I mean they'll lose 50,000 uh in in a in a less than a decade in Mexico. the cartels, you know, it would they have to eventually go and I don't know how that is done, but um it it certainly would make Mexico uh you know, for the people that would be it would it would it would get them out of the the prison that is made from those cartels.

Adam, well, let me stay on Iran for a second. So, uh this is what happens when you go full Islamic. You know the famous line from the movie Tropic Thunder like never go full [ __ ] Iran went full Islamic and we're seeing other case examples of when you go full Islamic whether it's ISIS whether it's al-Qaeda whether it's Ezbah whether it's Hamas whether it's Boka Haram you go full Islamic this is what happens to your society speaking of going full Islamic and going full [ __ ] do you see what's going on with your friend Tucker Carlson these days who is the Islamic regime Ayatollah planning to use as propaganda in Iran none other than Tucker Katlson, do you have this clip, Rob?

This is what the sha This is what Ayatollah of Iran is playing to indoctrinate his own people to galvanize them to not overthrow his regime. Go ahead.

Stop. So, um, the Islamic regime right now is literally broadcasting Tucker Carlson interviews in in Persian on their 24-hour news channel. The country is in a state of chaos and yet for some reason the Islamic regime um is choosing to to play Tucker Carlson interviews because this is like, you know, it's it's propaganda. I'm just filming this right now because if I didn't do this, no one would believe this is literally what's what's going on in in in occupied Iran right now.

I listened to that conversation that he had. Did you listen to what she just said?

I did. I did. So why is the Ayatollah of Iran playing Iranian? Obviously it's pro their regime. So

well do you guys know why would Tucker Carlson defend the Ayatollah regime? I'm not saying that. I don't I'm not coming at you. No. You're his friend. Explain that to me. That's that's that's an unfair straw man question. Why is he not what? He's not defending the Iranian regime. No no that they could play. It's what you're being done. You're making the you're making the argument and you're you're answering it with with your uh projorative uh pjorative uh line of questioning. First of all, he is allowed Tucker Carlson. We have to have people interview other people now. And and he's interviewing uh this, you know, um the the president of

that wasn't the president of Iran who he was interviewing Larry Sanger. He was interviewing some random guy. Okay. But my point is this. We need to hear we need to hear some. Yeah. I I He did not ask in his questions when he did that interview which I listened to. There was questions I wish he would have asked and he didn't. I wasn't there. I don't know. But we need to have we have to have why is Aayatollah even thinking about considering playing Tucker Katson propaganda. To me these are the questions that need to be.

Well these these are obviously um how desperate the situation is in Iran right now that they got. What do we got? We got Tucker. He's saying

so who's the useful idiot we could use? Tucker Carlson. Well, I would say in that situation, yeah, they feel like that uh conversation uh buttresses uh their support for the regime. It's not going to make a difference.

Well, I was just thinking you guys know who Amid Malik is. He's the Iranian he Iranian mother, Pakistani father who invested the 15 million for Tucker to start TCN. That's number one. Just just give a little bit backstory history. But then Rob, I'm just curious when did you hear when Tucker was like they asked him so you're buying property in Qatar? And he goes, "Yeah, cuz I'm an American. That's what Americans do." And like like has nothing to do with it. And it just feel cuz he was if I if I'm not mistaken, he was interviewing the co the founder of Wikipedia cuz they were talking about, you know, the West and how the West talks about this and that which I mean there's there is a reason that they're playing him. But Tucker and friends and all that aside, the shift of Tucker Carlson from going like, get it, criticize America. Fine, I criticize America, especially during 911 and George Bush. I've revisited that 20

times. But you cannot deny the shift in, you know, buying land in Qar, them playing you, which I mean, of any, by the way, internet's down, complete blackout. Why aren't they playing you, Rob? Why aren't they playing Deuce Bigalow? They're not playing Bigalow. They're playing Tucker Carlson talking crap about the United States.

Certainly doesn't look because he went full [ __ ] No, it it certainly doesn't look

Why do you feel the need to defend Tucker? Because he's not here. He's not here. And also, I I think that I the the one of the great strengths that we have and what you guys have, what you have here is whether you like it or not is to hear opposing views. And it may be views you don't like.

I'm going to give something that's going to be very weird. and and that is and and I got to tell you like I don't agree with it but at the same time to to to just attack somebody you got to take a look at the totality and yeah I think it's I I think that there is some potential um you know uh corruption in in in in the fact that there's not questions asked that I would have asked but I'm not that guy corruption in who

well I'm saying that that the interview had a corrupt I mean there was some corruption as far as I just think you know journalistically but that's So we're on the same page that Tucker Kurt Tolson has been corrupted.

No, I'm saying that interview I think could have been, you know, but I'm not an interviewer. I don't do that. So I would say like, you know, you what you do is you can put information out there.

Why is this a big deal, Adam? Why is this a big deal that they're playing Tucker? So because originally, what would have made it a big deal if he was inter if they're showing what clip?

If they're showing what clip of Tucker, what would have made it a what what clip would I have said, why are they showing this clip? An interview with who?

With the president of Iran. It was an interview with Wikipedia guy. Yeah. So, they're trying to rewrite history.

I don't know. But all I'm saying is like, who cares if they're showing the clip? Like, you think they're using it to show what? Hey, Tucker's on our side.

I'm asking Adam. What? Like, what do you think is a I'm saying so the fact that they're saying, "Hey guys, so let's back up a second if you may.

This regime is about to collapse in my opinion." Okay. Sure. the the on Kali who's the number one person on the list that's most likely to be toppled or the son.

So he's clinging for life. Yes. So what does a desperate animal do when he's clinging to life? He's going to fight back. So he's going to use whatever weapons at his disposal to fight. He's killing his own people. More people have been killed by the Iranian regime. That's not what I'm asking this year. So when you're desperate,

you do stupid things. So he brings out this useful idiot Tucker to say, "Hey guys, we're actually good people. Listen to what this American journalist has to say." What I'm trying to say is what did he say?

They showed a Larry Sanger clip. They're in free defending the regime. It's not defending the regime.

Do you think that they would play a clip of him dismantling the regime? Adam, can I ask you a question? Do you think

so? They're using a clip of him defending the regime saying, "Listen guys, we're not that bad. Even Tucker Carlson thinks you're not making sense. You're not making sense." Respectfully, I think I'm making complete sense because you haven't made one valid point.

Kani has no doesn't know how to use the internet. He's not doing it. His people obviously somebody is doing that. But let me I just want to correct something. I said I didn't say that. I don't mean to say that I think that Tucker is corrupt. I'm saying that there's something wrong in that conversation that he had because I I think that that is

he's missed out an opportunity to question when you miss out on opportunity and opportunity opportunity. At some point you say maybe you're compromised.

Adam here's what I would say. Do do I think his positions changed a little bit while he's saying I've never met anybody bad that's from Pakistan. They've been very good. I've never met anybody I've never met. It's a little weird on his positioning with the video and the messaging from, you know, 5 years ago, 10 years ago to where he's at today. Okay, I'll give you that. Little weird on what's going on. So,

there's other examples, but go there's many examples to go through, plethora of examples to go through.

He forgot the internet exists. By the way, I'm not even talking Israel. I mean,

I haven't brought up Israel once. The argument against Israel, call it out, control, all of that stuff. I'm comfortable with that. Have that debate.

I'm talking about Iran and the Middle East. Yeah. I I look at this clip. I do think he made the president of Iran seem like a nice guy. I do think he made it I would have interviewed him in a very different way.

What I'm specifically isolating is this singular video that people are reacting to to say what happened. Do you know yesterday uh who uh who was the Anna Paulina Luna we had on the Do you know what clip was going viral yesterday?

What was that? Let me show you what clip was going viral yesterday. Anna Paulina Luna. My phone is blowing up. Did you hear? Is this true that Anna Paulina Luna said on your podcast that Erica Kirk lost her kids?

You guys see this clip? By the way, tens of millions of views. So, watch this clip. Go ahead, Rob.

I don't think that she at all had any connection to that. When I see that, it's like you're already you're victimizing the victim, if that makes sense. Because at the end of the day, she did lose her husband. She lost her kids. Like, I was just with her at the White House and she's

she lost her kids. Right. She misspoke. She meant she lost her kids husband. Of course I know she misspoke. What I'm trying to tell you is

the internet goes and takes this and says Erica Kirk lost her kids. I know. That's what happened. So the point the point I'm going to is I'm isolating this clip.

If Iran was going to use the TV that they control to show a clip, they should have shown Pzkian's clip, not Larry S. Like

Well, how do we know that they haven't shown that as well? would have that girl who showed it would have also shown that other clip. If they did show like for instance if today somebody shows a clip and says

here's Iran showing a clip of Tucker with the president of Iran. Now I will say Tucker is helping out Iran. But this clip I don't see point of ask question. Can I just jump in?

Let me ask Pat. Why would they show anything of Tucker? So what? Let me ask you a question. If all of a sudden

they show clip of PBD podcast in Russia, what does that mean? Exactly. If all of a sudden they show clip of us in Israel, what does that mean? If all So imagine somebody comes out, you know the Israeli TV is showing PBD pie. We always knew they were bot. Pump the brakes, guys. Can I give you one count argument and then you can go? Can I give one? No. No. Can I give one Rob Schneider? No. Adam, you can give one. I'm going to jump and I'll come. I'm a guest. So let me let me let me speak. Okay. I know. Because cuz what you have is you've already made your conclusions and you're not listening to any evidence and that that that's ignorance. No, that is absolutely shred of evidence other than you're friends with Tucker.

I am friends with Tucker but that I'm also that has nothing to do with it. I'm also a logical rational person and you are not being logical and rational. Otherwise, you wouldn't make a straw man argument. The thought is simply this Adam. You have to look at the totality of what somebody's contribution as a journalist. And yes, I would have asked different questions. And PBD, you absolutely would have been able to ask more pertinent questions that I think would have been helpful in that conversation. And I was disappointed. But you have to look at the totality the totality of Tucker Carlson that he has made uh uh I would say the United States and the world a freer place because of his uh journalism. Is it perfect? Is anybody's perfect? And I and I think like in that in that particular situation it wasn't.

And I would say corrupt in the sense of as as something was underneath of it that wasn't as good as it could be. Just like a a corrupt uh you know if if you're making a building and then the beams aren't right. There's something wrong in that conversation. Well, whatever. I the totality of Tucker Carlson is undeniably that he's made journalism a better place. Is it perfect? No. But as is is it proof that he's being used by the u somebody on the team of the uh of the ignorant team of of Kmeni's uh internet um group. Is that proof of anything? Absolutely not.

Rebuttal. The problem is you just walked into my trap. Oh, here it comes. Because here it is. Who did you just call out at in an amazing incredible way at Turning Point USA? What was her name? Candace Owens. Now, the totality of her contribution to society has been incredible. However, the last year or two, she's been a destructive force. And that's exactly what Tucker Carlson has done. I'm not talking about what he said during 9/11. I'm not saying what he said during CO. I'm saying in the last year, Tucker Carlson, much like Candace, has taken a weird turn where you've become anti-American, anti-truth, and anti- normal American thoughts. Those those

So, if you're going to call out Candace, how do you not feel like calling out Tucker?

Because the last they're doing the exact same thing. The four accusations. Show me the difference between Tucker and Candace. The last four accusations. the four the last four accusations that you made in a row after making a decent argument about saying that it's shifted. Yes, there are shifts is happening. But you can't jump to a conclusion that he's anti-American. I think what you have

I didn't say that he's anti-American. You did you just said let's go back and listen to it.

I'm saying you said he was anti-American. You just said it. You just said you just said

The reason I said that is because you said I bought a house in Qatar because I'm American. If you want to be pro-American, go buy a house in Detroit. Go buy a house in Phoenix. That's a silly argument. Are we saying that Tucker Carlson hasn't making a drastic turn over the last 12 months where average people are like, "What's

But wait a minute. I say he has my point. That is my point. No, but that's not but but these are okay. We we can say yes, he has. There are concerns. Why is he defending Islam, Muslims, and the Middle East as hardcore as he is? Valid question. That's a valid question. That's my question. But the other part here, we have to be very careful.

If all of a sudden somebody plays a clip in Russia, in Israel, in Iran, in any of the countries that are enemies, and they show a clip of us, what are they going to say? Are they going to say, "Wait a minute. We always knew." No, no, no. Pump the brakes. I just show it of you, Adam. I'm going to go, "Yes. clip just like Anna Pelina. Anna Pelina, we all said, "Guys, I was taken out of context." We all defended her without normal people and they're normal people who defend Tucker because he's done 100%.

All right, let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story.

Don't agree. Let's go to the next story. Tom, what story do you want me to go to that you have a lot of stuff on? Do you want me to go to California? The fire. Is that what you want to do? Let's go to that. Let's go to LA. Mayor Bass brushes off Palisad's fire protest. Claims locals are profiting. And Rob, I think you got a clip on this one as well. So, if we go to this page nine,

how did she not get recalled by now? I mean, how does that not happen? Well, let me let me have her explain it to you. Go ahead.

Happen. One year after the fires, are you surprised that so much of that anger is directed at you?

A little, but again, I do understand the anger. if they need to focus them on me, you know, whatever whatever it takes them to heal and get through this. I don't take it personally.

Do you think a reason for that anger is misinformation and people are looking for someone to blame? Well, I I do have to tell you that there's a part of it, and this is the part that troubles me the most, is that there have there are people who have prayed upon people's grief, who are financially benefiting from people's grief, and to deliberately put out misinformation like nobody's rebuilding, permits aren't being given. There are challenges, absolutely, but there is progress being made.

There's a rally being held tomorrow called They Let Us Burn. Is that how people should be commemorating this one-year anniversary?

Well, well, I I don't think so. Again, I think that there are people that are profiting off of this, and that is what I find uh very despicable. Intentionally putting out misinformation, intentionally profiting from social media, book deals, etc. And I think that that's unfortunate to me. I hope that it's about healing and moving forward and getting this community back. every single palisadian that wants to come back. That should be the focus.

You have people who continue to tell me every single time I'm here, this should have never happened. Should this have ever happened?

Of course, it should have never happened. But I do think that something that we're all coming to grips with in our in our world, but certainly within our city, weather events that we would have never thought would have taken place. She was on vacation.

It's the weather's fault. Yeah. Okay. All the weather. Tom, thoughts. Go for the most person. Rob, I'll come to you.

So, this is the what's despicable is that uh Karen Bass is trying to politically profit from spin. Uh she's turning it into we need to heal and move forward. That means your point doesn't matter. We need to heal and move forward. Don't look over here. Well, I'll tell you what not to look at. Uh the fire chief and the mayor. Uh she laid off the fire chief. She censored the fire chief. Then the fire chief left. Now they're in court and that fire chief is probably going to win. The last two articles I saw, Pat, is the fire chief um the legal analysts that were out there in the liberal media were saying uh if this goes to court, Karen Bass and people are going to have to turn over all kinds of text records, everything that was going on on this, including the report that um Kristen Kie said that she had uh uh published about readiness. So, I think it's despicable that Karen Bass stands there and talks

about healing and moving forward. How about accelerated permitting? How about intervening with some of the insurance claims? How about supporting what's going on there to help people who had homes and were paying taxes, property tax, that part of LA get their house back without being interfered? How about pushing back on the coastal commission in Malibu that is not allowing people to build certain things because the Greens don't want the houses to be back there at all. And so using the Coastal Commission to say, "Oh, we're just going to have the beautiful ocean. All these rich celebrities and other people, they don't get their homes back, but we get our coastline back." Karen Bass is trying to profit politically by spinning this into being everything that it's not. And meanwhile, the taxpayers of the city of LA are going to write a check to Christine Crowley because Karen Bass does not want that court case to go.

That's my opinion. That's what legal analysts are saying is that they're going to write that ex um uh fire chief a check because it was mishandled and they bismerched her her reputation. And for her to stand there like that, when I saw that, at first thing I thought it was like a staged interview. Oh, here we go. She's going to stand there and get softballs from the reporter. But the reporter, you know, God bless him, tried to push it and she just, look at the direction she spun it. There was no accountability, no leadership. As an ex- resident of LA, this disgusts me because there's people I know, we know a guy named John that we were friendly with that had a place in Palisades that is up there, a great guy, part of a a large business mentor organization. He's not.

Everybody has talked about these things. These were good citizens that are being screwed and she's not taking leadership to stand up.

John lived in Palisades. Hm. John M. Yes, sir. Wow. I didn't know that. They're down. They're down. They're down uh North San Diego.

Oh, wow. Okay. Rob, what do you think about this? Well, one of my friends who still writes for the Simpsons uh he lost his house and it's devastating. And you have um when you see Karen Bass and you hear her talk, it almost reminds me of something like that Iraqi spokesman during the uh during Saddam Hussein. Remember him? What was his name? Iraqi Pete or something? Iraqi. What was his name? Good name. Iraqi Bob. So, uh and it just you don't believe a thing that they said, "No, we will be the biggest. We will conquer the Americans any day." It's just nothing.

The great Satan to the ground. What what is it about the Democrats in Los Angeles and California in general that have this Hitler in the bunker mentality where they'll go down with the ship, you know, they just I mean, how does this person I remember the city council kicking out somebody in the town that I grew up in for trying to raise taxes for 10 bucks? This is somebody that had all their houses burned down in this in in this city of Palisades. That that and how do you not get rid of the mayor? How at what point? You know, I remember I said years ago was a Jamie Lisso joke, which is like the um you know, Californians would vote for a bowl of [ __ ] if it had a D next to it.

Yep. It's like there's just they're just it's a group mentality. It's it's a that is um you know, they just paint the other side as so evil that they'll stick with somebody who who destroyed their community and

don't and don't step out of line otherwise they'll come after you. Yeah. Um it's it's something out of the Camar Rouge. I mean it really is to hear her you really hear a communist and she is you really hear this communist group think that um that they they never take any personal responsibility for anything. the fact that she was not there, that she was in Africa at a wedding to be cool, knowing that the winds were coming. And um I I I I just I just don't see California climbing out of this because I think they have that bunker mentality and if you give enough stuff away to people and you give them enough free stuff, they'll keep voting for the Democrats. And that's the plan the whole time and it's not going to change, I don't think, in our lifetime.

I don't see it change and I want it to. Let me go to the next story. Gavin Newsome confronts $18 billion budget disaster. he helped create. This is a New York Post story. Uh after years of surplus, the Golden State is facing staggering deficits that could be uh ballooned up to $35 billion in coming years, according to the state's legislative after years long spending spree. Nuome, who's expected to launch the 2020 presidential, but unveils his plan to stench the bleeding in a major speech Thursday. in it. He owe posture as presidential while aiming to reassure cash strap Californians that he's leaving the state in tip-top shape and his final year in office. Critics doubt it will be enough. Governor Nome's speech will highlight a lot of claimed wins, but Californians see the lack of results every day, said Senate Republican leader Brian Jones of San Diego in a statement. Year after year,

he is policies have pushed opportunity out of the state while driving the cost of living to ever new heights for working families. Only about four years ago, California had flushed with cash was flushed with cash with a jaw-dropping surplus of hundred billion dollars thanks to a rockling stock market and COVID era cash infusions from the federal government. Since then, revenues driven by capital gains taxes on rich shrunk as the economy took a nose dive. Tom, your thoughts? I

I I'll tell you. So, you're you're destined to take these last two stories and just get my blood pressure up to the up to the temperature in Death Valley. But, um, I'll tell you what's going on with Gavin Newsome. Uh, Gavin Newsome wants to stay relevant, wants to stay in the headlines, and wants to keep acting presidential and appearing presidential. But, you know what you need? You need a platform and a record. And the record here is is is pretty gruesome. the numbers are coming out and people are starting to wake up and you're seeing um folks start to pre-cover stories, but this story could have been reheadlined.

Can you believe what this guy is going to say tomorrow? And this is not coming from hard conservative sources. His speech is going to highlight claimed wins. We did this. We did this. We did this. So, he's going to put the spin on the winds and I hope people look underneath and and see what's really going on there. and he is he is along with Ro Kana saying, "Oh, no, no, no. It's the service union that is bringing the ballot initiative for the billionaire tax baloney. They're doing it, but you got your fingerprints on it." And this is Gavin Newsome. He's going to come out, try to look presidential, take credit for things, but I hope the people of California look to the numbers and you don't have to look deeply and ask yourself a question.

Is this is what you want? because you have an opportunity to elect a new governor, but the rest of America needs to wake up and understand that if this guy can't run the sixth largest country in the world, then how the hell is he going to run the f the the largest country in the world?

Apparently, it's the fifth now, Adam. Yeah. Well, I don't care about California at all. I've made that very clear. But I do love the United States of America, and I care about the United States of America. In my opinion, and I don't mean this literally, burn it down and start over in California. Yeah.

Because there's nothing good coming out of California. You lived in California 20 years. You were there for a decade. You were there for over a decade. You spent a lot of time most of my life there. I don't care about California. I I literally like don't think that any California Democrat should ever see the White House. That could be judgment day for America, much like Karen Basswood's judgment day for the Pacific Palisades in California. To me, elections have consequences. I don't care what happens in California. Burn it down and start over. Not literally, but I'll be damned if I ever see someone like Gavin Newsome in the White House. Hell,

but the scary but the scariest part about Adam, what you're saying is on Calshi, who's number one, Robert? Who's number one? I'm I'm sorry. I mean g

by a mile by a mile. So what are and this is where bro I'm talking about this is three years from an election

just like Scott Walker was number one Jeb Bush was number one. Hold on one second. Literally whoever's number one never finishes number one.

Okay. But let me ask you a question. Who do you think and real quick cuz I want to get to where you talk about cuz you're talking about Adam Evil and Biblical which I love that you went there cuz it could be the end. Gavin Newsome's at 35%. Who else? Who else? Even like like a late blooming who's going to challenge him. He's the guy with the hair. He's the guy with the suit. The fat guy from the fat guy from Illinois. You never know. God God help us. But and Rob, guys, Trump was at 1% by the time there were primaries and then he took down everybody one by one by one. I think America is smarter than falling for

G. But this Adam tricks. Adam, really? They fell for Russia collusion. They fell for Biden. Not Biden was in charge. But you're here.

They fell for a comma. Give me like I'm telling you right now. But this is what when when I talk about bro the opposite of what we are. There is light and then there is dark. This party has been captured by darkness. And if you can't see, I'm not saying you. I'm saying the people in general. I have family members. I have people that are they're just so far gone. And Rob made a great point. They can't. It's going down with the sickening ship because you know what they don't want to say? You guys were right. We're wrong. They have lost the plot.

complete evil. Well, here's Let's Can I just jump in for one second? If you take a look at historically, the last time there were three non-consecutive administrations, you're going to go um Nixon, Ford, Carter, and then you had two Reagans and one Bush. I think what you have now since we have a Trump, Biden, Trump, uh if you look at historically, it odds seem to be uh a patterns that happen. And I I think you're going to have that one Trump and then two Vances or or whoever wins that or Rubio. I mean, they'll be great. And I think that whoever runs is going to be a sacrificial land with the Democratic party. I'm hopeful because I I just I just don't see it happening in any way, shape, or form. I think uh but you you have to care about California for no other reason than this.

The electoral college votes. I mean, it it is a it is unbelievable. What do you mean? Do you think that's ever going to go red? No, but that's why I think at a certain No, I think that's why you you need to be concerned about it because you know how tough it is. You guys know how tough it is for a Republican to win. He's got to like it was it was a a minor miracle. I think it was the hand of God that that helped, you know, every swing state and everything. We just happen to have we had Charlie Kirk helping with kids, God rest his soul, 22.5% jump with uh young voters. That's amazing. We got Hispanics, we got we got Hispanic men, black men, you know, we're never going to white women. we're never going to get. But we did get uh you know a resounding victory which which is great and we have to continue this because I do think it is a threat against western civilization and I think whether the

Democrats realize it or not I think that they are um unfortunately playing into the hands of of socialism and they make the mistake of thinking that um they want a one world government and they make the mistake of thinking they're going to be in charge of it. It's not. It's going to be China. We're going to be some weird small slightly freer social credit system in my opinion. Well, I I don't not care about the people of California. I love the people of I have friends in California. I'm saying the state legislator and whatever's happening there I have no love for. You know, they say if like if there's going to be a plane crash, put your mask on first, then the people the person next to you that to me, California is so far gone that the last thing I'm interested is putting a face mask on the people in California. Good luck. You guys figure it out. You vote for this. Keep doubling down on says the

mask. Can I ask about the mask? Everybody says put your mask on first. Oxygen. How of how often does the oxygen mask come down a plane? Have you ever been on a plane?

Have you ever flown with us? Have you ever been on an oxygen mask? Come downstairs. Seriously?

No. Thank God. Okay. But let me tell you, what happens more often? What happens more often than the oxygen mask? There's turbulence, right? You've been on a plane of turbulence. And if you have a baby, don't you tighten the baby's belt before your own?

So I I I always find that Why is there a baby in a seat belt? No, I'm saying because the idea is before you help your the your child, help, put your mask on first. I would say that that's that's not a very valid thing and everybody keeps using that.

And I would just say the real thing is that there's turbulence and if there's turbulence, you help your kid first unless you're a heathen. So I would just say that's that's just a false of all the things Rob gets pissed off. He's like, you know what, I'm sick and tired before your kid. NO, I'M JUST SAYING CUZ I HEAR THAT SO MANY TIMES AND I just can somebody poke a hole in it for once. I just want to let you know if I was sitting next to on a plane, I'd put my mask on. Oh my god, that was a great argument. Life changing

all this time. Okay, so let's talk about some of these billionaires that are leaving.

Who's leaving? I'm going to tell you, Larry Page, Google, they're leaving. They just they bought they just bought two houses next to each other. Miami

Miami home 173.4 four billion million dollars. Two bedroom shared garage. Let me read both and I'm coming to you, Tom. So, by the way, that's the place that they picked up these guys. It's a nice little two-bedroom condo for 173 million. I know it's a joke, by the way. It's a joke, but they are leaving.

So, billionaire makes strategic moves out of California ahead of proposed wealth taxes. Now, this is something we talked to

last week with uh uh Chamat and some of the other guys, but clock ticks on California's billionaire facing a proposed wealth tax. Some of America's top business leaders are making strategic moves to leave the Golden State. Larry Pageige appears to be distancing himself from California as a public filing reviewed by Fox News Digital from the California Secretary of State Office shows several business entities linked to page were moved out of the state in December ahead of Jan uh 1st, 2026 residency date tied to the proposed uh tax. I'm sure you're going to get into that. Tom Oracle founder Larry Ellison has taken some steps that signal a potential pullback from California through details though details of a reported 45 million dollar offmarket sale of his San Francisco home have not been independently confirmed by major outlets. Tom, this 5% tax bill to billionaires starting January 1st, 2026,

how much can you tell about it? What's the latest on this? So, well, let's let's first recap. If you haven't been paying uh if you haven't heard the podcast recently, the origin of it is SEIU, which is one of the largest bluest uh service employee uh unions in the world. Very big in California, very very big in Nevada where everybody that works for hotels is part of it. This is the group that is putting the billionaire tax on as a ballot initiative. Now, the politicians are supporting this because that way it's not on them. Oh, it's a ballot initiative being brought by voters.

Voters just like you, workers. So, point one, it's a ballot initiative being brought this way. Point two, that ballot initiative isn't going to be voted till later this year. But everybody is trying to get out now. Now, why are they getting out? because they believe it's going to pass. Because like um if no one knows anything about Proposition 13 um which was a property tax initiative that goes back to the 70s

78 that 1978, thank you. Uh that has regulated property tax for the older people that never sold their home so that their property taxes don't go up. So ballot initiatives in California have teeth. Larry Page and people are handicapping Pat the odds of this going down and everybody believes that the that the ballot initiative is going to pass and pass big because California is so blue. They've got the union behind it. They need several hundred,000 votes to get it finished on the ballot. SEIU975 is going to get is going to help it done. And guess what Larry Page is doing? These people say, "Oh, they're not really moving. They're just uh buying homes in Florida and they're going to live 189 days in Florida. Well, wait a minute. Larry Page, I don't care about his 173 million dollar property purchase in Miami. Uh, a lot of people can do that and they have second and third homes in Aspen and and you know in

Montana and places. But he also moved Coupe. Coupe is his family office. Billions and billions of dollars. He has moved the registration for coupe. K O P to Florida along with his uh flying car initiative and he has an influenza research company that he's moved. So this doesn't look like a guy just buying a house in Miami Pat. This is a guy believes this ballot initiative is going to pass and he has pulled up stakes and he is moved. Well, um it's not legal. It's not constitutional. You can't tax uh I I just don't think that'll hold up.

They tried to do that uh a separate tax for people in Arizona making over $250,000 a year and that and it did pass because you know who wouldn't vote for that if you're making under that. So uh the Democrats of course will push that through and that was also funded $25 million by the teachers union that uh and it did pass but it it got kicked out but at the Supreme Court level. So, I just don't know, you know, somebody has to look up the constitution, the state constitution, and see uh if if you could tax people um separately or unevenly.

So, I just don't think that that's but I wouldn't put it past that it'll pass. But I I just don't know if it would hold muster. But who would want to take the chance?

Well, the legal Thank you for bringing that up. The legal procedure would be that you could contest it, but it's called concurrence in California. if it's a ballot initiative that is deemed to be um constitutional by at least one judge and this would be the Ninth Circus and you know what that means the Ninth Circuit also known as the Ninth Circus and they say it appears to be constitutional to us it would get implemented and they could start collecting the tax and then everyone has to fight it and if they win it and overthrow it then the state can appeal it then you got to wait for the Supreme Court and then you got to ask yourself a question if it all comes down What are the odds that California gives you your money back? So the the billionaires are handicapping that and saying my lawyer may tell me, well, you know, this doesn't have to happen. But Pat, if your lawyer said, you know, option one, Pat,

you can move to Florida. Or option two, you're probably going to win, but it could take eight years. It'll be really bloody and you're going to have to pay the tax on day one. You would look at it and go, wait a minute, maybe I just move and then let this thing play out.

That makes sense. Who the hell is going to risk that? Yeah. Okay, look at this. Will California billionaire tax initiative pass? 49% is saying yes on cashi.

Wow. 49%. That's just today. Wait till the summer. By the way, political ads rebot. Go to January 1st.

It went It was at like 10%. It started going up on the and then all of a sudden

boom, it got up to 49%. So, Adam, you were gonna say something. Yeah. Uh, if California doesn't want your billionaires, we'll take them here in Florida, come on down to Miami. You know, Mayor Francis Suarez put his name on the map. Shout out to him. When Silicon Valley was asking what they could do, he says, "How can I help?" And now Miami is now the capital of capital. I it's no secret that if you just trust uh what's this word? Data. Uh societies that attract and keep billionaires grow. And societies that demonize billionaires will decline. What do billionaires bring to your society? Well, jobs, money, taxes innovation opportunity long-term thinking. California, if you don't want your billionaires, we'll gladly take them here in the 305. By the way, shout out to the Miami Hurricanes.

gonna be the national champions this year. Respect. It's gonna be good if it's gonna be Miami Hurricanes Indiana. Let's do one last one and wrap up. So Trump says he's banning institutional Rob. Do you have that one?

He is banning institutional. Let me go to this one. Uh institutional investors from scooping up single family homes.

We've been talking about that for a while. This is big. If they pull the stop, this is very good for middle America.

For a very long time, buying and owning go home was considered the pinnacle of the American dream. It was reward for hardworking uh working hard and doing the right things. But now because the record high inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, the American dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans. Trump wrote on Truth Social. Tom, thoughts on this?

Well, he's calling on Congress to codify it. I mean, let's make a law. Let's do this. I think this is this is smart. Um a lot of people say, "Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Now he's interfering with this. Real estate's just an asset class. Banks want to buy asset classes. Well, hang on. When you're talking about the power of America, which is its citizens, and you're talking about that we've had we a situation where, you know, building has been kind of flatlined. I don't think we're going to have more than 4 million transactions for 2026 after 4 million last year. And the housing starts are low. I think this is smart saying, "Wait a minute, you know, I don't think it's a good idea that um that large banking or private equity simply buy up an asset class like this and rent it back to the American worker when there's a bigger thing here. Uh and the bigger thing is that home equity had been a key part of

people's uh savings uh which impacts their retirement. So this is also the federal government stepping in who needs to be paying for social security which is probably going to get cut ladies and gentlemen and stopping this will this will stop the shortage part of the shortage Pat will stop because when these houses get bought up there's fewer houses for people to buy and so the price of those houses that are available to general public is pushed up additionally by the all that printing of money Rob

but I think this is a good thing you have Black Rockck, you're talking $5 trillion. You're talking Black Rockck owns most of the pharmaceutical industry, if not most of uh of the uh Dow Jones. If you if you're thinking about tech stocks and you're think this Black Rockck, State Street, and Vanguard, that is more powerful. That is an a real unelected group um that it can force policy. can affect the economy and and is I mean if you take that $5 trillion the buying potential of that what they've done to single family homes I would just say to you this when was the last time you you washed your rental car you don't do it you don't own it you don't give a [ __ ] about it but kids how do we expect these young Americans to care about the American dream if they're not given a piece of it if they don't have the opportunity to get earn a piece of it so we have to do that when you have black rock that will buy a home in

a neighborhood for $300 $,000 and sell it to themselves for 700,000. They're artificially in causing inflation and making the house purchases uniable for for the average young person. I'm talking 30 and under and and in their 30s for crying out loud, are still living with their parents. They also are getting tax credits for buying for this purchase and they're getting um loans for exceedingly, you know, a better deal than than young people can. So if if we need to have some regulation and that's why with the president you know does not traditionally like to get involved with regulations but in this situation it has to happen because I believe there's a monopoly going in place and if you think uh if you know if if if the government thought that the you know Ma Bell back at the time and longdistance phone companies were becoming a monopoly certainly and that was worthy of being broken up certainly the idea of of of

one big company like Black Rockck buying up single family homes in the hundreds of thousands is a monopoly and that needs to be taken care of and and Robert Kennedy and I talked about that, you know, a year ago and and thankfully President Trump is doing another something great to help the American people.

I I agree and I I would tell you this this means they are paying attention to the affordability crisis that's taking place

and that's great. So, so to people that are 18 to 29 years old, 18 to 30 years old, this is directed to you and this is very good news for you because we want the youngans to get married, to have kids, to buy a house, to have their dreams become a reality, the more you anytime you build a company like when we build the insurance company at the beginning, I told my guys, I said, "Listen, the previous company lost a lot of people." Why? because the comp benefited the guys at the top. Once the comp benefited everybody and the newest guy can win, you'll continue winning. We have to make sure the comp benefits right now the newer people that are coming up as well, 18 to 29. And if we can do that, affordability can be fixed.

I think midterms will be scored away. But if they don't figure this out by around July, August, it's going to be a very, very deadly midterms that they'll have. Adam,

forget. Yeah. Well, this comes down to affordability. You know, I applaud President Trump for making housing affordable. You know how I feel about buying a house and renting. Part of the reason that I've been such an advocate for not buying a house is because it's been completely unaffordable. How could the average 25-year-old, 30-year-old, 40-year-old buy a house when you're competing with Black Rockck for that specific house? So, I'm all for people getting married. I'm all for people getting a house, but not if it's going to drive you into debt. So, to me, uh if you can't afford a house, stop complaining about it. Rent, save that money. Invest in other appreciating assets. Until then, stop complaining.

And uh what's the definition of crazy? Doing the same thing over and over again. Until housing is affordable, it's almost irrelevant. If you want to buy a house, you can't afford it.

You can't afford it. But it's it's not because of its market forces. It's falsely inflated market market forces that are preventing it.

Whatever the reason is, you can't afford it. No, no, no, but but I'm saying is that there's

that's like saying, "Hey, I want to be on SNL." It's like, "Well, you're not funny."

Well, there's an art. Well, okay, you are funny, but you're not living in New York. You're living in a wrong but there's But you're But that's art artificially saying that like the people auditioning for Saturday Night Live, we're not going to pick any of those people. We already prepicked. That's the same thing Black Rockck's doing now is that they're artificially um raising the prices of homes and making it unaffordable and they're buying too many and forcing people to become renters so they can't even rent because they're literally they'll buy 30,000 homes. So what the president is doing is is is and it has to be done through uh you know codified through through Congress, but he is going to limit it has to be done in two ways. the ability to buy a a massive amount and they shouldn't be able to speculate on that. And so they just you just you have to but the the legislation is going to

be critical and Tom you'll know that the legislation has to be critical so that it it isn't have loopholes in it that they continue so this isn't just some something it has to be able to help and and and that what's going to help right away is to take away any tax credits that that Black Rockck currently receives for buying homes.

Very good point. So that that has to be done. So let me ask you one question because I agree with you. If you want to buy a house, should you buy it before or after regulation sets place?

Um, you you have to buy it when you can afford it and and uh in any particular place. And and this this regulation though should be able to stabilize the house prices, if not lower them. And we'll see. I mean, I'm hopeful, but

it's not going to happen overnight, though. It's not going to happen overnight.

Well, folks, we'll see what's going to happen here. Rob, appreciate you for coming on.

Thank you for having me. We we have watched you a hundred times more than you watched us over the years. Literally, you are unbelievable entertainer and what you've done in movies. Some of the I I I I could say five of the top 20 movie clips that you watch on rerun. Like we love 51st Dates.

Thank you. And that that you're funny as hell on 51st, but we can keep going with that. You've done great work. Well, we appreciate you for coming on, guys.

Thanks for having me. for those that are watching. Have an incredible weekend. God bless. We will do this again next week. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Take care everybody.

Thank you.
